First of all I thought this is a Perl problem, so I consulted the appripriate newsgroups. But people told me that this has to be a FreeBSD problem: I installed Perl 5.004 out of the ports section and am trying to create a NDBM database (read/write) which I wanna read under C afterwards. The problem: Perl creates it like `test.db´ (1 File) and C with #include expects it to be in 2 Files, like `test.pag´ and `test.dir´. People are telling me that I need re-install Perl so that both Perl and C will use the same system call. They claim that both NDBMs are for sure compatible! Please, I have FreeBSD 2.2.1, could anyone enlighten me? I am working on a bigger project with it (diploma thesis), and I am stuck in the middle. :( Thanks for ANY hint, Joachim -- Email: Joachim.Wunder@LRZ-Muenchen.DE From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 24 07:15:17 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id HAA02937 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 24 Aug 1997 07:15:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sunsrv5.lrz-muenchen.de (sunsrv5.lrz-muenchen.de [129.187.10.15]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id HAA02931 for ; Sun, 24 Aug 1997 07:15:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sun1.lrz-muenchen.de by sunsrv5.lrz-muenchen.de; Sun, 24 Aug 97 16:15:08 +0200 Received: by sun1.lrz-muenchen.de (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA19423; Sun, 24 Aug 1997 16:15:06 +0200 From: Joachim.Wunder@lrz.tu-muenchen.de (Joachim Wunder) Message-Id: <9708241415.AA19423@sun1.lrz-muenchen.de> Subject: HELP! - Problems compiling Perl 5.003 To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 24 Aug 1997 16:15:06 +0200 (MET DST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi!

However, I can access a mailbox only once from Netscape Messenger (4.0) running on a Windows 95 client. After that initial access, subsequent attempts get the error various error messages. Messenger reports: "Invalid IMAP4 url" is given, and usually the Netscape application then attempts violates the client system's intergrity and must be shut down. I've attempted Microsoft's Outlook Express mail client from a Windows 95 machine and have problem there logging onto the mail server, but the error message imply it's possible trying to use POP3 instead of IMAP protocol, and if so that may be a different problem. Anyone experienced the access once then invalid imap4 url problem attempting to access the imap server and what was the resolution to the problem? Thanks.

The parent then kills its children and restarts them after reading the conf files. I don't know if killing the children directly could screw this up or not. It does look like apache hasn't reread the conf files.

The traditional answer to this is "hardware error". If you give more details, I might be able to as well.

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.

Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have.

Windows programs are runnable under the WINE Windows emulator, and some DOS applications can be run under the 'rundos' DOS emulator. Unfortunately, these are incomplete emulators and may not necessarily run your programs, depending on what they expect in terms of machine capabilities. FreeBSD is a UNIX-style OS; it is not anything like Windows or related MS OS's.

You'll have to try compiling it, and then fix the errors that appear. It may be that xftpd uses the GNU 'configure' program, which should aid you greatly in your task.

This is correct and proper. Your JAZ drive is available as disk sd1. If you have a MSDOS-formatted disk, mount it by running: mount -t msdos /dev/sd1s1 /mnt The contents will appear under /mnt. When you're done run `umount /mnt'. If you want to format a Jaz disk to use the UNIX filesystem, see http://resnet.uoregon.edu/dwhite/makedisk.html.

This means that your DOS partition's clustersizes are not where FreeBSD expects them. You get this if you use FIPS or Partition Magic to shrink your partitions. There isnt much you can do for this other than reformat & reinstall the DOS slice. Unfrotunately, this means that you cannot access your DOS partitions without risking corruption. Dismount the disk immediately and do not mount them until you resolve the problem.

Don't touch that. It's sort of a holdover from SysV and don't mean a whole lot on FreeBSD. You'll have to ask hackers@freebsd.org for the full ramifications of adjusting the kernel securelevel.

Yanno.. this is one of those things I've never been clear on. Can you explain to a non-programmer the function of /usr/obj, and why one would want to keep it if one *were* planning to make the world again? I've seen "rm -r /usr/obj/*" as a solution to so many make world problems, that on those few occasions when I do make the world, I routinely delete everything in /usr/obj because I can't afford for the system to harf in the middle of the build (I'm 600 miles away). What would keeping /usr/obj around do for me, how can I be "safe" if I do keep it around, and what should be the deciding factor(s)? I checked the upgrade tutorial, and didn't find anything about /usr/obj.

Accounting is one of those things that really depends on your local situation and usually involves you writing some scripts to deal with the accounting output from your printer filter. The LPRng package handles this very nicely. It can be found at dickory.sdsu.edu in /pub/LPRng. It compiles cleanly on FreeBSD, and it passes the compatibility tests so you don't need to run them.

You care about #1 the most. The only thing that's suspicious is the missing net route. ifconfig should add that tho. Are you sure your netmask is 255.255.255.0?

I wouldn't worry about it. routed may be trying to stomp on some routes that are added just following it. If you don't need routed then disable it in /etc/rc.conf and those messages will go away.

I'm not sure as to minimums, etc. But if you're like me, and want to download and install every moderately cool looking thing you can get your hands on, have full documentation, full source, etc. You would feel cramped (as I doo) with 2G.... Then again, I haven't been at all conservative with disk space... I started out with FreeBSD on a 500M partition, with a lot of goodies. If you could be a little more detailed about the sort of things you want to do (I don't know squat about MUDs), I could be a little more detailed about what you need.... > 2) Does anyone have a dial-up script out there for SLIP/PPP users such > as myself? I'd like to be able to dial my ISP from inside FreeBSD (is > this possible) Actually, I found PPP to be quite easy to set up. If you need it, I could give you my script. It's not really a very sophisticated script, but it got the job done (you still had to dial the modem manually, and log in manually, I never implemented chatting). > 3) I plan on using the FreeBSD OS for MUD (Multi User Dungeon) > developement...Is there any special settings I need for FreeBSD to > include in certain (the PICO editor, grep, and the GNU Compiler) Or are > these Standard? You will have to add pico. It might be a port/package for FreeBSD, but I don't know. grep is standard UNIX, and you will never be without it. The GNU compiler is installed as part of the base system I believe. > 4) I also noticed that there was something called X Windows, is this > another actuall OS that you can run from inside FreeBSD in order to see > graphics, or is it just sorta there to help lynx out a bit? X Windows (or "X" for short) is not an operating system. It is just a "windowing system." It allows applications to draw graphics on the screen, usually inside of windows. X also allows applications running on one computer to display graphics on another over the network. It is a wonderful system to play around with. The major criticism of X that I hear a lot is that it lacks a consistent user interface. For example, X does not 'handle windows' by itself. It needs another application (called a 'window manager') to provide window decorations, and the user interface to moving, hiding, iconifying, and resizing windows. There are many window managers around, each providing a different look and feel to X. Take a look at http://www.plig.org/xwinman to get a feel for the diversity allowed under X. Unfortunately, the individual application's look and feel are indepedent of the window manager, and of each other.... There is a lot to say about X. If you want to hear more, just ask :-). > I'm pretty new with FreeBSD, but I see the potential is definatley there > for it to be a great OS for myself, I hope that someone can help me out > with my questions If you enjoy having a system you can hack, tailor, and customize extensively, FreeBSD (or linux, or any free UNIX) will be great for you.

You should check that the ed0 device was found during the inital device probe. You can press scroll lock at the main menu and use up arrow to see if it was found. If not, then make sure you're giving the proper settings in the device setup.

I would like some clarification on this. There seem to be about 150 megabytes in my /usr/obj. I thought this was created as an intermediate step in the make world process. Would leaving it there shorten the time on a subsequent make world, or does everything in any case get remade? If so, the only purpose of keeping these around is as a "spaceholder" for a future made world.

I checked the upgrade tutorial, and > didn't find anything about /usr/obj. I think that's reasonable. I have a recollection in the back of my mind that other makes also use /usr/obj, and some of them don't know how to make the directories if they're not there, but 'make world' has no problem with it, and the makes in the Ports Collection don't use it.

The U/WIN package contains the following three elements: 1. Libraries that provide the UNIX Application Programming Interface (API) 2.

Without seeing your ppp.conf, I can only guess, but it's telling you it wants double authentication (crazy idea). You need to enable pap authentication. Put the following in your ppp.conf: accept pap set authname set authkey and are to be supplied by your ISP.

I always read my DOS-partitions with the mtools (too many disk crashes because of the lousy dos-mount-support) and they are really fine to read & write VFAT. I use the foolowing version: Mtools version 3.6, dated 14 Apr 97 I think there is a newer one at this time but you need at least 3.6 to get VFAT to work.

(Or more, > can it mount only one of those sessions?) It is possible, but only with -current...:-( But Jörg Wunsch (j@uriah.heep.sax.de) gave me the patches, maybe they should be incorporated into 2.2.5 ? They really work well and it's also possible to get the old data loaded because you can mount a specific session. With this feature it's possible to load an "empty but full disk" i.e. when you had a session which contained data and the next session got a last directory. You can now make CDs which are only readable with FreeBSD. :-) Anyway, here the patches come. If something doesn't work ask Jörg. Any comments should go to him. BTW, you not just have to generate a new kernel. You even have to generate a new mount_cd9660 command ! --- snip --- Index: /usr/src/sbin/mount_cd9660/mount_cd9660.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvs/src/sbin/mount_cd9660/mount_cd9660.c,v retrieving revision 1.11 retrieving revision 1.12 diff -u -u -r1.11 -r1.12 --- mount_cd9660.c 1997/03/29 03:32:35 1.11 +++ mount_cd9660.c 1997/04/29 15:56:40 1.12 @@ -49,9 +49,11 @@ static char sccsid[] = "@(#)mount_cd9660.c 8.7 (Berkeley) 5/1/95"; */ static const char rcsid[] = - "$Id: mount_cd9660.c,v 1.11 1997/03/29 03:32:35 imp Exp $"; + "$Id: mount_cd9660.c,v 1.12 1997/04/29 15:56:40 joerg Exp $"; #endif /* not lint */ +#include +#include #include #include #include @@ -74,21 +76,22 @@ { NULL } }; -void usage __P((void)); +int get_ssector(const char *dev); +void usage(void); int -main(argc, argv) - int argc; - char **argv; +main(int argc, char **argv) { struct iso_args args; int ch, mntflags, opts; char *dev, *dir; struct vfsconf vfc; - int error; + int error, verbose; - mntflags = opts = 0; - while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "ego:r")) != -1) + mntflags = opts = verbose = 0; + memset(&args, 0, sizeof args); + args.ssector = -1; + while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "ego:rs:v")) != -1) switch (ch) { case 'e': opts |= ISOFSMNT_EXTATT; @@ -102,6 +105,12 @@ case 'r': opts |= ISOFSMNT_NORRIP; break; + case 's': + args.ssector = atoi(optarg); + break; + case 'v': + verbose++; + break; case '?': default: usage(); @@ -125,6 +134,26 @@ args.export.ex_root = DEFAULT_ROOTUID; args.flags = opts; + if (args.ssector == -1) { + /* + * The start of the session has not been specified on + * the command line.

That list is for in-depth discussion of primarily programming issues. The correct list for questions like yours is (wait for it) -questions. I'm copying that list with this reply. There are numerous ways of doing backups, both with and without tar. The way I use is to make one backup per file system. To do this, you write to the non-rewinding device (typically /dev/nrst0). To back up a remote system, you first need to decide whether to initiate the backup from the remote system (the one with the file system) or the local system (with the tape). Since I back up multiple systems onto one (DDS) tape, I initiate everything from the local system. Next, you need to enable rsh for root. Do this by putting the names of the hosts in a file /root/.rhosts. Make sure that the file belongs to root and has permissions r--------. For example, to back up my systems freebie (with the tape drive, and file systems /, /usr, and /home) and allegro (without a tape drive, with file systems /, /usr, /var, and /src) I could do: 1. /root/.rhosts freebie allegro 2. Backup commands #!/bin/sh TAPE=/dev/nrst0 export TAPE mt rewind tar cl / tar cl /usr tar cl /home rsh allegro tar cl - / | dd of=$TAPE bs=20b rsh allegro tar cl - /usr | dd of=$TAPE bs=20b rsh allegro tar cl - /var | dd of=$TAPE bs=20b rsh allegro tar cl - /src | dd of=$TAPE bs=20b mt offline Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 25 02:43:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id CAA02023 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Aug 1997 02:43:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ipamzlx.physik.uni-mainz.de (root@ipamzlx.Physik.Uni-Mainz.DE [134.93.180.54]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id CAA02015 for ; Mon, 25 Aug 1997 02:43:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ipamzlx.physik.uni-mainz.de (root@ipamzlx.Physik.Uni-Mainz.DE [134.93.180.54]) by ipamzlx.physik.uni-mainz.de (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA07490 for ; Mon, 25 Aug 1997 11:45:28 +0200 (CEST) Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 11:45:28 +0200 (CEST) From: Hartmann To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: 2.2-STABLE Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Sirs.

I have a Gateway 2000 Pentium II with 64Megs of RAM. When installing FreeBSD from CD the installation stops and tells me it can't detect my Hard Drive. I think the problem is that it can't detect my Disk Controller - A Promise Ultra DMA Hard Disk Controller. I have drivers for this device for Win95,Win NT,3.X,OS/2, but nothing for any form of Unix. Promise,via email, told me that they had no drivers and wouldn't release any specs of the device - so no joy there. Are there any drivers available that I could download and get FreeBSD to install?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.2. I have two hard drives on my PC. The primary is a Western Digital 5.1 GB (EIDE). The second is an old DEC RZ25 406MB (SCSI). I installed FreeBSD on the SCSI drive. The installation went without a hitch. However, the next time I boot the machine, System Commander detects FreeBSD, but can't boot the FreeBSD partition. System Commander tells me the boot record is possibly corrupt. So, I try to re-install FreeBSD. Again, the installation seems to work flawlessly. Once again I reboot the machine. This time when I select the FreeBSD menu option, I get a READ error. Just for kicks, I installed RedHat 4.2 to the exact same hard drive and System Commander was able to detect the new OS and boot it with no problem. Does anyone have some experience with System Commander and FreeBSD 2.2.2 that they could share with me? Why would System Commander be able to detect and work with RedHat 4.2 and not FreeBSD 2.2.2.

Make sure the modem isn't set for the same interrupt as the com3 device; FreeBSD doesn't allow interrupt sharing for sio devices. Also, make sure that FreeBSD correctly understands what interrupt is being used for each device. The kernel configuration editor you get when you boot with the -c flag will allow you change IRQ settings for the sio devices. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Try 'man twm'. If that doesn't work, be sure to include /usr/X11R6/man in your MANPATH environment variable and try it again. To answer your question, from the twm man page: BorderColor string [{ wincolorlist }] This variable specifies the default color of the border to be placed around all non-iconified win- dows, and may only be given within a Color, Grayscale or Monochrome list. The optional win- colorlist specifies a list of window and color name pairs for specifying particular border colors for different types of windows.

If you are using bash, and PS1='\$', then the prompt will be $ for a normal user account and # after su to root. This is described in the bash man page. I don't know how the other shells handle this.

Hello FreeBSD-Programmers,

I have a problem, while developing a network-driver for FreeBSD (2.2.1).

The driver, i have written, works fine when linked static with the
kernel, but something failes when using it as a kernel-module (LKM).
 

  • Has anybody a suggestion, about the reason for that failure ??
  • Where can i get more doc about the LKM's ?
  • Has anybody written a <if_detach()> function, so i can unregister and unload my driver, which registered with the <if_attach()> function ?

regards,

This is described in the bash > man page. I don't know how the other shells handle this. You're correct. All of sh, bash and csh render \$ as "#" for superuser. But this has nothing to do with my original point. My point is that the su manpage appears to claim that su does something it doesn't seem to do. Perhaps what the manpage _means_ is "if you change uid to 0 your shell will probably use a '#' as your prompt, depending on whether you use \$ in your PS1 environment variable". But that's not what it says. It may just be badly worded, but the manpage is _easily_ (mis)interpreted as meaning "su changes your prompt". If this just boils down to poor wording, I don't think the su manpage should mention the change of prompt at all. The prompt change has nothing to do with su. It's solely dependant on your shell and any files your shell uses to configure the environment. The exception is that su -l causes the shell to believe it's a login shell, hopefully forcing it to use profiles of some kind to configure the environment. Still, any effect this has on the prompt relates to the shell, not su. Is this the sort of hair-splitting that we'd all rather do without, or do other people think the manpage would be clearer without the reference to the superuser prompt? Sheldon.

I think you have a point that the manpage should be updated to indicate the true state of affairs. Getting a distinguishable prompt for superuser mode is important for a lot of people, and I for one, had to wander around the manpages quite a while until I understood the matter. I think it would be reasonable to mention in the manpage for su which shells (maybe all of them) handle PS1='\$' and to specifically state that the prompt is controlled by the shell and not su. Why don't you update the manpage and submit it one of the core team or developers for inclusion in the FreeBSD distribution. I'm sure they would be quite open to this.

Shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't exec the shell. This means that, in extremely ugly situations, you'll be using more memory than necessary. If you exec bash and bash fails for some reason, you'll lose your existing csh too, so *poof* no root login. :) Cheers, Sheldon.

First of all, I'm not sure what all that netbios traffic below is about. If you are using user ppp, then you should do "tcpdump -n -i tun0". That will show the traffic actually going outside your local area network. It looks like you are dumping out your ethernet interface.

I solved the problem which i had, while developing a network-driver for FreeBSD
(2.2.1) as a kernel-module.

I have not initialized the "if_sn.ifq_maxlen" - item in the
"ifnet-struct", before making "if_attach( ...)".
 

  • But there still remains the question, why did the driver work fine without this initializiation when linked staticly, and failed, when using it as a kernel-module ?

regards,

  Thomas Berndes
 

==========================================================================

The following lines are an extract from the source-code of the driver.

/* the real initialization of HW and driver */
uDDK_init_driver( ... ){

  ...

  uDDK_P_ifp.if_snd.ifq_maxlen = 3;

  if_attach( &uDDK_P_ifp );

  printf( "%s: Driver initialized\n", pdriver_info->name );
  return uDDK_INIT_DRIVER_OK;
}

The linker ld is coming up with an error message indicating it cannot allocate further memory, which is followed by a system console message saying no swap space left. This is a big application and the whole compile/link sequence on Octave 2.0.5 used to take about half a day on my 486. I closed down X to free up resources and tried again, but still the same problem. Some details: 486 machine with 16 meg of ram 32 meg swap area on hard drive FreeBSD 2.2.1 XFree 3.2 GMAKE 3.75 ./configure --with-x --without-linux-vga --with-gnu-readline --with-lasergnu \ --prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local gmake all (which by default uses CFLAGS=-O2 and CXXFLAGS=-O2 and will create static libraries for the final link). One possible solution is to increase the swap area on the hard disk. Unfortunately this will require a complete re-install. Are there any other alternatives? I don't want to use the precompiled package as it is quite a few versions behind.

(2) Go into the ppp-979824 directory (3) type "make" to compile everything. You will first see routines in the libhack subdirectory compiled and then the ppp subdirectory. (4) If everthing compiles successfully, the su to root to get superuser status and type "make install" (4b) If everything does not compile properly, please consult this mailing list again. (5) It is not a bad idea to read the man page for ppp -- it is getting pretty informative these days. Also, if you are interested in packet aliasing (also known as IP masquerading), consult the README.alias file in the ppp-970824/ppp source directory.

One of the nicest ways to customize twm is to enable the 'Icon Manager' and set windows to iconify by unmapping. This will give you a small 'application dock' where your applications will be iconified, and when you iconify the window, it will disappear from the main display. If you don't have a .twmrc file in your home directory, you can create one with: cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc $HOME/.twmrc Now, to set the window behavior as above, add the following near the top of your .twmrc file: IconManagerShow IconifyByUnmapping If you want to specify the size and location of your IconManager, see the IconManagerGeometry resource in the twm man page. Twm is actually quite a powerful window manager. It's cousin, ctwm, gives you (up to 32) workspaces in which to separate your windows; it's like the Visual User Environment that comes in CDE, but quite a bit less memory intensive. I've used ctwm for years now, and prefer it to any other. I setup four workspaces and switch back and forth between them with a workspace manager window, and with Alt-F1 through Alt-F4 keystrokes. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

That one's a no-brainer: the DNS cache is slowly acquiring more memory. ps should show the 'vsz' of named slowly growing larger as the cache grows, and as free memory disappears.

Fix: If you have the source distribution installed, simply cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc otherwise, get it from the FreeBSD FTP site using this URL: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/login.conf instead. Simply cd to /etc and then run fetch(1) with the provided URL. o sysconfig scrambles rc.conf if run again. Fix: Get updated /usr/src from RELENG_2_2 branch and build /usr/src/release/sysinstall, copying the new binary to /stand. If you do not have enough space for src then you could also use the boot/fixit floppy combo from a later 2.2-YYMMDD-RELENG release to simply mount your root partition (using the Fixit option) and copy /stand/sysinstall from the floppy to /stand on your root fs. o Installation floppy does not boot at all - whereas the 2.2.1 floppy worked fine. I get a "panic: double fault" right after it tries to change the root device to fd0c. Fix: The problem is that you have 48MB of RAM and something very very mysterious has happened to FreeBSD twixt 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 which makes it fail with just that exact memory size. Given the popularity of 16MB simms, it also explains why none of us have seen it since we typically have either 16MB, 32MB or 64MB of memory in our systems. :) We're working on finding and fixing this problem, but until then the following work-around is in effect for 48MB systems: 1. Boot the 2.2.2 boot floppy and when it comes to the first menu which asks you whether or not you want to go into the kernel configuration editor, choose the "experts only" CLI mode option. Now type: iosize npx0 32768 visual If you can get through to the installation, go to step 3. 2. If the above does not work, physically remove all but 32MB of memory from your machine and then boot the boot floppy. Unless your problem is totally weird and something we've not seen at all before, you should now be able to go on to step 3. 3. Complete the installation and then boot off your hard disk. This boot should work fine, since you are no longer using the memory filesystem that the installation uses and which seems to interact badly with these memory size issues to create the failure you saw. You will also want to boot with the -c flag at some point and say "iosize npx0 0" to get the full use of all your memory back since the old value of 32768 will have been saved to disk during the initial installation. If you already plan on building a custom kernel, you can skip this step since the value will be reset anyway.

Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 22:46:21 -0400 From: "Brian J. McGovern" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Almost two years ago, someone on this list gave me some mail rules so that I could alias some of the virtual domains that I have. The rules are in the S98 section (sendmail.cf), and read like: R$* < @domain.com.> $* $: $(maferrets $1 $:$1<@domain.com.> $) $2 R$* < @domain.com.> $* $#error $: "User Unknown" I also have a line further up that looks like: Kdomain hash /etc/aliases.domain.org Within the aliases.domain.org file, I have lines that look like: original_user new_user<@foo.bar.com.> next_user next_user<@foo.bar.com.> Unfortunately, some of the aliases I want to now deliver to multiple end-users. But, when I do: agroup user1<@foo.bar.com.>, user2<@foo.bar.com.> It doesn't work. Looking at the ruleset, I understand why, as the second and subsequent addresses get tokenized as $*. I guess my question is, with the new versions of sendmail and the like, whether there is a similar, BETTER WAY (tm). If someone can give me a quick answer, or point me to a document, I'd be greatful. Just realize, I'm not a sendmail wizard, so be prepared to talk down to me. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 25 19:52:19 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA00257 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Aug 1997 19:52:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.tamu.edu (mail.tamu.edu [128.194.103.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA00252 for ; Mon, 25 Aug 1997 19:52:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dropzone.tamu.edu (dropzone.tamu.edu [165.91.210.99]) by mail.tamu.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id VAA14843 for ; Mon, 25 Aug 1997 21:52:13 -0500 (CDT) Received: from jumprun.tamu.edu by dropzone.tamu.edu (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id VAA14459; Mon, 25 Aug 1997 21:47:33 -0500 Received: from localhost by jumprun.tamu.edu (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id VAA12790; Mon, 25 Aug 1997 21:52:23 -0500 Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 21:52:23 -0500 (CDT) From: "Jo, SanKu" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: unsubscribe skjo@jumprun.tamu.edu Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk unsubscribe skjo@jumprun.tamu.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 25 20:01:35 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA00626 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Aug 1997 20:01:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nico.telstra.net (nico.telstra.net [139.130.204.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id UAA00618 for ; Mon, 25 Aug 1997 20:01:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by nico.telstra.net (8.6.10/8.6.10) with ESMTP id MAA12284; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 12:59:34 +1000 Received: (grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.6.12) id MAA03538; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 12:29:32 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <19970826122932.64429@lemis.com> Date: Tue, 26 Aug 1997 12:29:32 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: Shawn Ramsey Cc: chaos@tgci.com, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Excite using BSDI or Linux emulation References: <199708251917.MAA11361@train.tgci.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.81e In-Reply-To: ; from Shawn Ramsey on Mon, Aug 25, 1997 at 01:29:17PM -0700 Organisation: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8250 Fax: +61-8-8388-8250 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Fight-Spam-Now: http://www.cauce.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, Aug 25, 1997 at 01:29:17PM -0700, Shawn Ramsey wrote: >> One of my users d/l'ed the BSDI version of Excite.

Version 3.0 of BSD/OS apparently uses ELF binaries, which FreeBSD doesn't understand (yet). On the other hand, there is almost perfect compatibility with BSD/OS a.out binaries (the old standard, and the one that most software is probably still produced in).

That's from xntpd. xntpd is trying to broadcast something on the multicast channel and either you don't have a multicast route defined or multicast isn't supported on your net. You need to tell xntpd to try to contact the configured peer using unicast instead of multicast. This can be done by removing the -m flag from xntpd in /etc/rc.conf or removing the 'multicastclient' directive from /etc/ntp.conf or your xntpd configuration file.

It would be better if you can trade that in for a more generic IDE controller if you really don't care that much for DOS/Windoze, since the code to actually support UltraDMA just went into -CURRENT and won't be available in release form for quite some time (I would hope).

You'd have to hack /etc/termcap and add aliases for `dialup' to `vt100'. Find the `dialup' profile in there and change :tc=unknown: to :tc=vt100: Changing `ansi' is a bit tougher since it's intentionally pessimistic and since the vt100 commands aren't part of the ANSI terminal standard. For those people, have them put `set term=vt100' into .login, or convince their terminals to use a different terminal type and/or response string.

This happens on some systems, and there isn't much you can do for it. Blame it on cheap hardware. There is a kernel option called `BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET' that you could compile with and that would try a more direct method of rebooting the system. See LINT for usage.

Something may be wrong with the Linux terminal capabilites. And, the SCO console emnulation in FreeBSD may be different than that in Linux.

Those are ancient options that only applied to ancient tapes before such things as SCSI and MODE SENSE came along. :) See the dump(8) man page and the B and b options. the 'a' flag just keeps going until it hits end of tape which is a 2.2 or later feature as you mention.

You probably had to do the pestering to get those apps back-ported from whatever they came from. All of those (should) work fine on current releases.

What would be easiest, perhaps, would be to set up a mirror system, get that working with the desired release, and slowly migrate over.

Did you go through the disklabel editor and told it what was your /, /var, and /usr partitions? You have to tell it all of them, telling it to MOUNT them and not to NEWFS them.

OK, I'll take a shot at this. To really understand what 2.2-STABLE is, you have to have some idea of how the FreeBSD team uses 'branches'. In particular, we are talking about branches as implemented by the CVS source code control system, but other SCCS are similar. Most FreeBSD development is done along a main line of code known as CURRENT. You will often see this with the revision of the next major release of software, for instance 3.0-CURRENT which we have now. This is the development tree that gets improvements to basic kernel functions, new network protocols, etc. added to it; it is where most of the developers spend their time. When a release of the software is being prepared, a branch off this main code line is created. This allows 'release engineers' who are bringing the code up to release quality to make changes to the release without bugging (or debugging, as the case may be) new development on the main branch. For instance, the 2.2-RELENG tree was created late last year to produce 2.2-RELEASE; it's code has diverged from the 3.0-CURRENT tree since then. At some point, many of the bug fixes performed on a release branch are brought back to the mainline code, if the code the bug was in hasn't been replaced. Now, back on our release tree, the release usually goes through several minor revisions, getting better and more reliable. Again, these changes usually find their way back to the -CURRENT line, but not as quickly. One a release goes "out the door", it is quickly exposed to a much wider user base, using different hardware, and quite often much higher loads than members of the development team impose on their systems. Some of us even have older, slower hardware than the core team. ;^) (This message is being chiseled into the electrons on a 486/66, for instance.) Since this wider user base usually kicks up a bunch of bugs the core team and the release team did not find, these bugs get reported, fixed, and new minor releases generated *on the release branch.* This, on the 2.2-RELENG branch we have 2.2.1, 2.2.2, etc. The 2.2 release team is now working on 2.2.5. Somewhere along the way, the 2.2 branch finally becomes (nearly) as stable as the old 2.1 branch was. At this time, "production" FreeBSD users like ISPs begin moving from 2.1-STABLE to 2.2-STABLE. When a FreeBSD branch goes to -STABLE, it is usuall a sign that the code has truly reached production levels of reliability; in my experience, it matches and even exceeds the reliability of good commercial UNIX systems such as Solaris and HP-UX. Not to mention far exceeds most, including just about everything else on the PC architecture. (Yes, this is a mild slam directed at Linux, the various SVR4 PC platforms, and especially SCO.) The -STABLE branch appears at the maturation point of a particular FreeBSD release and is carefully bug-fixed and security-fixed to greater and greater levels of stability. It can sometimes lag slightly behind releases on the related development branch or keep right up with them; the -STABLE team is driven quite a bit by the efforts of people who use FreeBSD in a production environment. They are, by nature, a pretty conservative lot. So, at the current time, we still have a -STABLE release based on 2.1.7.1, which has been carefully nurtured for nearly a year and half now into a close to rock-solid reliability at the STABLE team can make it. We also have a 2.2-STABLE release, based on post-2.2.2 code, which is approaching this level of reliability and features the performance and system administration pluses found in the 2.2 release. We have the impending 2.2.5 release, and this will affect the 2.2-STABLE release at some time, to be decided by the -STABLE team. That's the nice thing about FreeBSD: you make the choice which is most appropriate for you. Hopefully now you have enough information to make a good decision. > Also, if it would be of merit, why not snapshot the handbook so it is > current with the current development of FBSD?

If y'all will be so kind as to CC me on the inevitable corrections to my description above, I will gladly resubmit it to this group for approval when the comments trickle off and we can then stick it into the appropriate section of the handbook. If my writing is too stilted, I can *probably* get my wife to edit it; she just happens to be a talented technical writer. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I don't know why everyone suddenly found the src-2.2 CTM collection and has mistaken it for the system source, which it isn't. It's the base delta for the 2.2 series, thus being 2.2.0. So, welcome to 2.2.0 :-) If you want the 2.2.2 or later source, you either need to : 1. Subscribe to CTM. 2. Use CVSUP. Instructions for #1 and #2 are in the Handbook. 3. Grab the latest from releng22.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/2.2-970825-RELENG/src/* and extract using `cat s*.* | tar xzf -'. Replace 9708265 with today's date.

Unfortunately it used Motif, which is a commercial widget set. If I had the diskspace I would have bought Motif from Xi Graphics (www.xig.com). > If XLib is not the standard, what is? XLib is the low-level C library interface to X. It's too rudimentary for standard applications programming. You really want to talk with a widget set, such as the Athena set provided with XFree86, Motif, or other free widget sets available. I worked with the book ``The X Window System: Programming and Applications with Xt, OSF Motif Edition'' by Douglas Young. It lacks in some places in detail, thus I also have ``X and Motif Quick Reference Guide, Second Edition'' by Randi Rost. The ISBN for the first is 0-13-123803-5 and the latter is 1-5558-118-8. You should be able to get these through your local college bookstore. The class I took lectured directly from the Young text, so it was a no-brainer for the most part. :-) Hope this helps and enjoy programming X -- the Motif set is well-programmed and, except for the poor availability in the FreeBSD community at-large, is a great widget set to work with.

As the name implies, /usr/obj is a place where the intermediate object files that make up the commands, utilities, etc. are placed. If you change 10% of the system source between 'make world' commands, you only need to regenerate 10% of the object files, the rest remain untouched. If you remove /usr/obj, you will have to remake 100% of the object files, at a cost of extra computing cycles, disk I/Os, etc. In short: if you've got the disk space and are going to be rebuilding the world, leave 'em. If you need the disk space, grab it. If you're undecided, buy a Jaz drive and a cartrige for /usr/obj. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I have got to the point that the system boots quite nicely and goes into sysinstall (just like it should). Unfortunately, the root file system is mounted read only. Apart from that everythings fine. If I mount a floppy as /tmp I can actually make sysinstall do a few things for me. Unfortunately when it gets down to the hard stuff, sysinstall seems to want to start creating devices for the disk partitions. I tried creating these from the other machine to remove the need for them to be made (the server machine is also FreeBSD so this should be OK) but it still tries to do it itself. Is there something important that I'm missing? Am I trying to do something impossible?

Well this *might* help, I suppose its a long shot. Make sure no wiring/cabling is touching the ram chips. I once had a very lame case that *caused* the cables to scrape against the ram. I remember problems like these. If you notice they are touching, and cant quite get them to not touch it, hold the cables away with your hand and attempt the extracting. Long shot, but hope it works.

Yes, indeed, the standard 'make world' target starts off with a 'make clean'. In this case, and empty /usr/obj will probably speed up the make process somewhat. My environment variables automagically run make with -DNOCLEAN, which speeds up the make world somewhat, but can lead to catastrophic failures. The remedy in this situation is to boot into single user, mount up your normal disks, and run a regular 'make world.'

Well, this dummy's boxes are half a dozen lowendian 386/486 junkers, and I really can't complain, at all, since 2.1.7.1/2.2.x/3.0.x is up and running fine on all of them. What I was after was a rock stable unchanging system for the home boxes (2.1.7.1 is fine there), a good carefree system for the office boxes (2.2-RELENG is fine there) and one 3.0 play box (current is fine there). Your detailed explanation helped immensely. What was confusing me was what the 2.2 stable actually was. > (Yes, this is a mild slam directed at Linux, the various SVR4 PC > platforms, and especially SCO.) I run aix/minix/linux/FreeBSd, and support your slam, although there is one source that I can compile fine on suns/aix/linux but it blows up every gcc on every version of FreeBSD (runs fine on gcc on the sun and the linux box, tho). I am still scratching my head on that one.

I have just finally given up on some DEC 21*** PCI ethercards in our servers following a number of problems with them -- one of which is an apparent conflict with the 2940UW and 2940U. Interestingly, the problems (which manifest as SCB timeouts on idle and some possible corruption) did not stop until I'd removed not only the cards but also the de0 code. These are production machines, so I'm afraid that I wasn't able to do a proper bug report in the rush to get everything running again, and have no redundancy for testing. The ether cards now work fine alongside ATA controllers under W95. We are running 2.2.2-RELEASE on Intel P100 and P150, not the K6. Both HX and VX motherboards were affected. I wonder if the problems seen by some 2940 users might be related to conflicts with other PCI drivers. Incidentally, if anyone can suggest alternative 100 Mbit ether cards which they've had working happily with 2940s I'd be grateful for a tip.

If I understand right the Intel card will auto negotiate and then configure itself to run 10Mbit Full duplex. But the result is 10 Mbit and HALF duplex. What to do?

Diamond Fireport40's are Ultra Wide SCSI and about $112 each. http://www.atipa.com is one souce that appears to be FreeBSD friendly (their web site says its FreeBSD and Apache). Also saw DAT tape drives there. http://www.corpsys.com also sells Symbios-based cards under their house label. They also deal with used and refurbished HD's and tapes. Lots of SCSI. Not always the best prices. The other week I picked up (3) Seagate/Conner/Archive 4326RP's thru http://www.onsale.com for just over $300 each inc shipping. Refurbished but with (supposedly) warranty from Seagate. This is a DDS-2 DAT with compression, so supposedly it will do 8G on one tape, or 4G on the cheap 90M tapes. Or 2G on the cheap tape, 4G on a DDS-2 120M tape. http://www.basoncomputer.com/td/td.htm shows 4326's for $499, or the 8000 for $599. Not sure what the difference is. At work we just accepted delivery of an SGI Challenge L. Came with the same drive I bought for myself above, only labled "Seagate CDT8000". On the bottom it had several different part numbers including the 4326 number. I know SGI has special firmware in their DAT drives as SGI is the only vendor I know of that does audio over SCSI to DAT drives. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ====================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

I put my ZIP UFSs on slice 1. Makes it real easy to write a |safe, generic setuid "mountzip" script: | | mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s4 /zip || mount /dev/sd0s1 /zip | |"df /zip" tells you right off what FS type you've got in case you forget. I have to correct myself. This is the incantation I started with, and works fine if you're root. But I had to change it to: mount_msdos /dev/sd0s4 /zip || mount /dev/sd0s1 /zip because "mount -t msdos" seems to lose root when run in a setuid-root script in the process of handing off to "mount_msdos". This seems to be a bug. Anyway, running mount_msdos directly (as above) works in a setuid-root shell script.

If the dec and Adaptec share an interrupt, this can increase the interrupt latency in servicing the QOUTFIFO and make the problem worse.

My old situation: Running FreeBSD 2.1.7 on a lowly 486 with nothing fancy, Fax: HylaFax v3.?? with a basic rockwell 28k8 modem This configuration has worked in various modes for more than a year. Until I upgraded to: FreeBSD 2.2.1 And then trouble started, so first I blamed the modem. And swapped it with a Zyxel 1496E, firmware 6.01. But the results stayed the same. Then I upgraded HylaFax to 4.0p1 (with a lot of hassle, like tiff and jpeg) But still with te same affect: When receiving a fax, the receiver terminates communication after 1 page. I've tried setting several of the options to be less sensitive to errors. But everything has failed thusfar. Looking at the log, which is everytime identical other than the number of error-lines. HylaFax Logfile and configuration are appended. The prize question is of course: Has somebody solved this problem? Is this a FreeBSD 2.2.x problem, or is HylaFax the cullpit?

Is this a EtherExpress Pro/10+ card? If so, I've submitted a fix for the handling of the IRQs in the current device driver (kern/4335). You might try setting your card to IRQ 5 and see if the card works for you (since this IRQ overlaps the current list and the proposed list). -SR From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 26 17:53:16 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA21298 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 17:53:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from luke.cpl.net (luke.cpl.net [207.67.172.194]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA21287 for ; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 17:53:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (shawn@localhost) by luke.cpl.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id RAA02460; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 17:52:57 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 26 Aug 1997 17:52:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Shawn Ramsey To: steve and carol cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: bsd and slackware In-Reply-To: <34035CF6.4F2F@virgin.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > hello there > I currently have a version slackware(in text form only) on my pc > In order to use it I use something called the umsdos filesystem which > allows me to have linux on an unaltered dos partition.Can you have free > bsd on a normal dos partition or wouls I have to format the disk to > create a bsd specific file system and structure No, it requires its own partition. I once installed slackware onto a DOS partition as well... seemed to me very buggy, as the system was slower than normal and seemed to crash much too frequently... even for Linux. :) I guess it would be nice for a single user system you just wanted play around in and didnt need rock solid stability.

(It works nicely during the install as a aic (as far > as I remember; the 2.

If you mean megabytes, then you probably hit against the 1024 cylinder BIOS limit. You can't boot any operating systems that reside above the 1024th cylinder on your boot disks, or about 500 megabytes. If your DOS partition takes up 500MB then your FreeBSD root slice is out of reach. > But this didn´t work either.

The issue is that you need to get a BIOS'd SCSI controller, or rearrange the second IDE disk so that the FreeBSD slice comes first, then the DOS slice behind it (assuming that the DOS slice on that disk isn't bootable, ie it just contains data). Or work up a scheme using the fbsdboot program to start the kernel on the SCSI disk after the DOS SCSI drivers have been loaded. fbsdboot can be found in the tools/ directory at where you found FreeBSD.

I think the drive is just plain broken. :( I would agree. The controller may be doing wierd things to the system clock too. If replacing the cable, then the disk doesn't do anything then try replacing the controller.

What happens? Your geometry is probably wrong. Try putting a small DOS partition on this disk, then install FreeBSD over it (remove it in sysinstall).

BSD/OS 3.0 may as well, assuming they're not in ELF format, which we don't support yet. You might also find that the Linux version works if you install Linux compatibility, but that's the last choice of the three.

You may be able to add a SCSI drive... but having 2 controllers with their own BIOS may be trouble. You could always put the HD on the onboard EIDE, although that will slow it down somewhat.

I *strongly* :-) suggest everybody interested to have a look at the Qt toolkit at http://www.troll.no Very, very good. Free, GNU copyleft, source code, documentation and tutorial in html, written in C++ (we _all_ do love C++, don't we ? ;-). Compiles directly out of the box for FreeBSD, Linux and many other Unices. There's also a NT version (not free), so it can be interesting also to do GUI cross-platform development.

but then right after that under NOTE: it says that it can only be used as with a 3.5" floppy
why not then just save to floppy from the net?? ..........*is this the only disc i'll need to use ever
or are these 2 files just for booting and probing...I just need an overview of ultimately what is
going to be done....what does this mean, (assuming that you're at the top level of a freebsd distribution and the floppy images live in the floppies subdirectory)

4)  Well, as of this minute I currently posess 2 files 1) fdimage.......2)boot.flp  if you can tell me
what to do with them i would be really grateful...

5)  I'm not even trying to insinuate that anything is wrong on your end or that the info is wrong
i'm just not at that level of complexity yet... --------------6AE9F4E6D4C3C662884B1C96-- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 27 00:37:49 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA16867 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 00:37:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from snitterly.nanoteq.co.za (snitterly.nanoteq.co.za [163.195.221.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA16859 for ; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 00:37:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pc-pvl.nanoteq.co.za (pc-pvl.nanoteq.co.za [163.195.219.103]) by snitterly.nanoteq.co.za (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id JAA22569 for ; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 09:40:54 GMT Received: by pc-pvl.nanoteq.co.za with Microsoft Mail id <01BCB2CC.CB022840@pc-pvl.nanoteq.co.za>; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 09:37:10 +0200 Message-ID: <01BCB2CC.CB022840@pc-pvl.nanoteq.co.za> From: "P. van Leeuwen" To: "'Doug White'" Cc: "'FreeBSD questions'" Subject: RE: calcru/wd error messages Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 09:37:09 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Thanks for the advice Doug.

I think the drive is just plain broken. :( I would agree. The controller may be doing wierd things to the system clock too. If replacing the cable, then the disk doesn't do anything then try replacing the controller.

The vt100 may be the most common terminal type in use, but I still see Z-19's and various WYSE terminals around. You also have to remember that the SCO console emulation that FreeBSD uses cannot be considered vt100 compatible. You would make the people who use these terminal types to dial into your system a bit irritated if you forced a vt100 emulation on them. Besides, the 'tset' in the shell startup file will work no matter what is in the 3rd field in the /etc/ttys line contains. You just need to set each user up with: eval `tset -s -r -m network:$TERM -m cons25:cons25 -m :?vt100` on a out of the box FreeBSD system... That will take care of most peoples "terminal" needs. :-) -- Zach Heilig (zach@gaffaneys.com) From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 27 01:18:24 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id BAA18944 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 01:18:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gated.unibest.ru (gated.unibest.ru [194.87.33.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id BAA18936 for ; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 01:18:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: (qmail 993 invoked from network); 27 Aug 1997 08:16:56 -0000 Received: from gated.unibest.ru (HELO hole.etrust.ru) (root@194.87.33.5) by gated.unibest.ru with SMTP; 27 Aug 1997 08:16:56 -0000 Received: from unibest.ru by hole.etrust.ru with ESMTP id MAA01905; (8.8.4/vak/1.9) Wed, 27 Aug 1997 12:18:20 +0400 (MSD) Message-ID: <3403E2CA.4B91C986@unibest.ru> Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 12:18:18 +0400 From: Ozz Reply-To: osa@unibest.ru Organization: JSCB Unibest X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.02b7 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.0-970124-SNAP i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Whats about of Inferno for FreeBSD ???

I have a laptop using W95 to get the sw over the net, an iomega zip 100MB to move stuff with and a target system - a junk 486 with 32 MB ram. In any case, I can't ftp from my target system, so I'd like to know what files I need to do the install. The boot disk boot.flp boots and I partition a 300MB after the DOS partition. - Novice user, binaries and doc install. I get lost, tho, when it expects the other files from CDROM/DOS/FTP to do this installation. The kernel isn't found. Can I place the freeBSD distribution files on the DOS partition and install from there? Does freeBSD support a printer-port iomega zip drives ? .. probably. I'd appreciated any assistance you can give me.

Chastise me for not paying enough attention if you want. I deserve it. If I have 2.2.2-Release already installed (and I do), CVSup-ing 2.2-STABLE and making world from it is a reasonable thing to do right? That is, it's not a step backwards in terms of the updatedness of my system. Again, sorry for covering the same ground. Thanks.

You may well need to use FTP clients that use PASV connections (i.e., the client makes the data connection as well as the control connection, which is not the norm). See the appropriate RFC (whose number eludes me at the moment) for details on PASV. I haven't built the SOCKS clients in awhile, but I recall there being a compilation option to force the SOCKS-supplied ftp client to use the PASV FTP command. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ I like work; it fascinates me; I can sit and look at it for hours.

Apologies for not replying to the original message with this, but I havent checked my mail in a couple of days, so I might as well kill two birds with one stone and reply to 'em both at once :) When I first set up my socks proxy (running on a DEC Alpha) and tried to get my freebsd box talking to it, I recall having the same problem as you. Unfortunately, I dont recall how I eventually fixed it, though I suspect it was a config problem with either the libsocks5.conf or the config file on the proxy. Perhaps if you could post a copy of your config file along with a description of your network setup I'd be able to see if there was anything amiss. > I have Socks4 and Socks5 built on my FreeBSD box and have been using > proxified clients through our Socks5 (and previously Socks4) firewall > without any problems. > > |I get the same results with the "fetch" command when trying to fetch ports > |using FETCH_CMD="runsocks /usr/bin/fetch" - I think I'll have the same > |trouble with cvsup? > > I'm curious as to how you're getting runsocks to work since I don't believe > FreeBSD supports LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD (on BSD a.out).

I use runsocks to socksify several apps which dont have native SOCKS4/5 support, including tinyfugue, fetch, telnet, ftp and ncftp, all without any problems. Lynx also works great using the inbuilt socks support, although I dont think I could get socks native support in tinyfugue working. Most annoyingly, I still havent been able to get Netscape to work using socks no matter what I try (socks4/socks5 config files are set up correctly, and netscape is pointing to the ip address of my proxy..but it seems to still ignore it and try connecting directly or to a http proxy if I have one set. But I digress..). Cvsup also works fine using the m3socks wrapper.

It is a good thing to turn off the setuid bit on those two files; ref CERT advisory 97.17 (ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_advisories/CA-97.17.sperl). Fixes for these are in 2.2-stable for /usr/bin/suidperl and the perl-5.004 package contains the fix for /usr/local/bin/suidperl. (I still don't trust having a suidperl around, though :-) A compromise is possible via procfs, so a kernel should be rebuilt with patches applied or /proc should not be mounted (but that may break ps, w, and maybe other commands); ref FreeBSD security advisory 97:04 (ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-97%3A04.procfs.asc). Fixes for this are in 2.2-stable as well. echo and chargen denial-of-service issues have been fixed since 2.1, I believe. sendmail 8.8.5 is in FreeBSD 2.2.2, and AFAIK doesn't have any major security problems on a typical FreeBSD installation. There have been a lot of merges of patches for buffer overflows from OpenBSD for various setuid programs and privileged daemons, and I believe someone recently committed additional buffer overflow patches for /usr/bin/suidperl as well. I'm fairly certain that these have been merged into the 2.2-stable tree, so a current 2.2-releng installation or a build from a cvsup'ed 2.2-stable source tree would be a good way to make sure one's 2.2 system is completely up-to-date on security patches.

Cc: dbaker@neosoft.com, questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm running a SmartUPS from APS with UPSd (see below) for FreeBSD. Aside from some annoying console messages that I haven't taken the time to redirect, it works fine. (Paul Root was working on this, back in March (see List Archives) but I don't know if he solved it.) We bought a 1400W model to handle a fax server (Pentium 200, 128 M RAM 5 Gig HD, full tower). With running the cpu, the monitor, a Cyclades Multiport Serial Card, 8 external modems, and a printer, we are coming in at around 14-18% load. So 1400 is overkill (until we have a power failure). It handles shutdowns in the event it runs out of battery power. It also monitors several variables about the UPS itself. Load, battery status, etc. One of the interesting things you can do with it (someone else mentioned it a couple of weeks ago) is to monitor room temperature. The UPS keeps track of temp and sends it to the daemon. So, for example, I know they shut off the Air Conditioning at 9:05PM on Fridays and it comes back on at 6:22AM on Mondays. It was even sensitive enough that I could tell that the cleaning crew came in at 11:07PM on Friday. :) Patrick UPSd can be gotten from: ftp://ftp.ww.net/pub/wildwind/upsd/ it's in xperiment on the CD On 26-Aug-97 Conrad Sabatier wrote: >I'm seriously considering buying a UPS, as the power in my area seems to be >prone to occasional "blinks" of a second or two.

I recompiled the upsd source, with local3 instead of daemon (?) and removed local3 from /var/log/messages and console. And added: !upsd local3.* /var/log/upsd.log And that fills upsd.log but messages and console still get that stupid, badly worded "negative response - No" messages. Grrr. I doubt I'll be working on it further. Our machines are moving into a computer room with a big UPS. Hurray.

Rippel" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD -> Crywnr DOS PLIP Link Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've had a bad time right from the beginning with FreeBSD PLIP, but I'm not about to give up ;). I've successfully linked two FreeBSD 2.2-releng machines using 'ifconfig 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2' and vice versa with no problems, getting a sustained data transfer rate of around 72k/s, I was quite impressed. I then attempted to link the same FreeBSD 2.2-releng box to a dos 6.22 machine running crywnr's plip.com on a packet vector 'plip.com 0x60 7 0x3bc' and using NCSA's telnet 'telbin.exe' for hosting services. On the FreeBSD machine i issued 'ifconfig inet link0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.1 mtu 1024 netmask 255.255.255.0 arp' and the lp0 interface/routing came up successfully. I was able to send icmp/udp/etc to the DOS machine with no problems. I could begin ftp sessions, however, they would jam up once the TCP datagrams began to flow. Basically, TCP wasn't responding at all. I couldn't get any telnet traffic accross the link. Upon further investigation, 'netstat -p ip' revealed that FreeBSD was rejecting the DOS box's TCP packets with a 'incorrect version'. However, both machines ue IPv4, so I don't see where this is the problem. According to /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/lpt.c, a Crywnr --> DOS link is supported with the link0 flag, which I did use. Well, that's only about half true. I mailed phk@freebsd.org about this, however, he's much to busy to consider my problem unfortunatly. I heard from the varions #freebsd channels that many people have had a similar experience such as this. One person suggested it may be a problem with compression, though I'm not sure about the relevance of this seeing where the link0 flag comes in. Anyways, I ask any of you whom have any advice whatsoever to offer on this to reply, and if you've had a successful Crywnr (DOS) --> FreeBSD link, please tell me how you accomplished it in great detail. It would be most appreciated. Just for the record, I have attempted this same link but with a Linux 2.0.30 machine to the same DOS machine with success using 'ifconfig plip0 up 10.0.0.1 pointopoint 10.0.0.2 arp; route add plip0'. So I do know that the problem is on the FreeBSD side, at least from what I can tell. Anyways, please give me any and all of your input, I've already scanned around some of the previous messages on the freebsd-questions list and gone on some rather pointless searches accross netland just to discover there is very little information on this subject. Linux's PLIP-HOWTO proved useless, since, afterall, it relates to Linux :P. lp(4) gave me a little better understanding of the (-)link0 flag, but that's about it. --- David R.

You will also run into troubles with i-nodes for home-dirs and files. I don´t know a reasonable number for users, perhaps 5000 or so? One ISP uses adresses as xxx@post1.tele.dk, yyy@post4.tele.dk; I don´t know how many users they have. But it shouldn´t be a problem having an enormous alias-file on the main mailserver, so everybody has an email-adress as user@provider.dom, and the main server then knew on which server the user lived.

The short answer is that it starts out a lot harder but once you get the hang of it you will discover that you can grow a lot farther faster than ever. Besides that, you will learn more about your PC. It sounds like the things you want to do are within the realm of FreeBSD specialties (surfing, IRC), so you'll do fine. In addition, there's all sorts of VRML and video capture stuff out there which compiles seamlessly on FreeBSD. It's also free for the downloading, so you won't have to spend any more money on software. You can spend money on disks and DRAM! Oh, yes, and you can absolutely blow holes in their 'bots and secret agents with your FreeBSD box, and they won't be able to stuff you. (Way kewl, dude, trust me!) You will need to dual-boot your system to allow both 95 and FreeBSD to coexist. You can either add a disk or repartition your existing one. Be prepared to spend a lot more than an hour studying the manuals, though. It will install easily on most PC's, but you want to be REALLY sure you understand the handbook before you begin the procedure, because you can totally trash your 95 partition if you do it wrong. -- 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 Wed Aug 27 08:50:56 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id IAA10528 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 08:50:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from taurus.cwu.edu (SYSTEM@taurus.cwu.edu [198.104.67.105]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id IAA10521 for ; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 08:50:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pc68776 ("port 1046"@pc68776.cts.cwu.edu) by cluster.cwu.edu (PMDF V5.0-8 #24278) id <01IMXFO5CF3491VSD1@cluster.cwu.edu> for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 08:50:46 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 08:50:45 -0700 From: Greg DeLuca Subject: printing from netscape X-Sender: gdeluca@crater.cwu.edu To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Message-id: <3.0.1.32.19970827085045.00917e00@crater.cwu.edu> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 (32) Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, Can someone please help me solve this printing problem?

I too had the no SCSI bios problem ] Make sure you have installed the kernel source installed in /usr/src/sys/. Since you have already installed FreeBSD, you need to boot the install floppy, and choose the 'Start an Emergency Holographic Shell' option (it's under the 'fixit' menu option). Now, you have a shell that does not tie up a floppy disk (this part is good, you need the floppy free, so do not choose 'Use a floppy generated...' option). Then, you need to mount your partitions, for example: mount /dev/sd0a /mnt mount /dev/sd0s1f /usr mount /dev/sd0s1e /var swapon /dev/sd0s1b [ run fsck on the partitions if they refuse to mount ] To avoid problems while compiling, you need to fix up the environment somewhat. The most important is that /tmp has to be a symbolic link to more space (like /mnt/tmp). You may also want to fix /bin and /sbin to be symbolic links into /mnt/bin and /mnt/sbin as well. The root partition is an MFS filesystem at this point, so what you have done above won't be permanent. It helps to have a copy of the /stand directory from the fixit floppy in case you mess something up. Now, the system will act close enough to a normal system for you to build a kernel. Make sure the various bin directories are on your path (/bin,/sbin,/usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /mnt/stand, ...). Change directories to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. Copy the GENERIC file and edit the copy. Change at least the line that says: config kernel root on wd0 to: config kernel root on sd0 As long as you have to compile a custom kernel, you may as well change the other lines to reflect your hardware (using the user config editor is a bit tricky in this situation). Now type 'config ' Change to the directory output as the result of the above, and type 'make'. You will need to format a floppy in /dev/fd0, I use this script: fdformat -q fd0.1440 disklabel -B -r -w fd0.1440 fd1440 newfs -t 2 -u 18 -l 1 -i 65536 fd0.1440 [ replace all the 1440's with the real size of your floppy ]. mount that floppy, and cp /usr/src/sys/compile/.../kernel to the floppy, AND to /mnt (don't forget this last bit, you may have to 'chflags noschg /mnt/kernel', you should also 'chflags schg /mnt/kernel' when you are done). Umount the floppy and reboot. When the FreeBSD boot message comes up, use the '-r' option at the prompt. Your system _should_ come up normally... -- Zach Heilig (zach@gaffaneys.com) From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 27 09:12:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id JAA11847 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 09:12:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.mia.bellsouth.net (mail.mia.bellsouth.net [205.152.16.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id JAA11839 for ; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 09:12:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from default (host-207-53-122-70.mia.bellsouth.net [207.53.122.70]) by mail.mia.bellsouth.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA29221; Wed, 27 Aug 1997 12:12:14 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <34045C63.43FD@bellsouth.net> Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 11:57:08 -0500 From: Keith Leonard Reply-To: kleon@bellsouth.net X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Andreas Schuldei CC: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: is this list dead?

Yeah, IRC was another good idea taken over by children with no manners. I guess it is the logical conclusion of the CompuServer cb-simulator, but I just don't bother.

The FreeBSD security team does a very good job if identifying problems in FreeBSD and its utilities, and the entire development team is very responsive to fixing security holes. I don't know that anyone is looking much at the security of IRC on FreeBSD, but they'd probably welcome your help. > never even saw it... > windows has kept me in the dark long enough........

Everyone here was a newbie at some time. (Mine was long before FreeBSD came out, but that's not the point. ;^) There is plenty of help on this newsgroup, and in the Handbook and other documentation available with the system or on the FreeBSD web site(s). Plus, just about any book you pick up about UNIX will talk about BSD, which (mostly) applies to FreeBSD. > cuz i really do wanna learn... You've come to the right place.

The file is just too large. lpr normally copies files to be printed. So, the max size is limited. But, all is not lost. For disk files, usr 'lpr -s ' and, lpr will use a sumbolic link, rather than copy the file. So, from netscape, save the image to disk and then print is with the '-s' switch. To save the image to disk, I think you can use the right mouse button to get a menu containing a 'save this image as' item.

Newbies certainly can install and use FreeBSD, it is, contrary to popular belifs, not harder than using Windows. It is, however, a bit different. If you have disk space at all, don't forget to install X + other useful packages (a window manager - they are all highly customisable, fvwm95 comes with win95 look and feel to a point, but there are several others). And no, you don't need to know the inner workings of the PC. Hiding it from you is the job of the OS. And you can *always* ask again in this list if you happen to run into problems.

Pac Bell has had muddier than usual lines, and it's causing the modem to give up and hang up. Problem is, iijppp isn't seeing DCD go low. I have the comstate program that Bruce Evans posted (thanks, BTW) and it shows DCD toggling from low to high on carrier detect, and toggling back to low when the line goes bad (some well-placed whistling into a phone causes this for testing purposes) Problem is, iijppp just goes on merrily stuffing packets down the bad interface and doesn't acknowledge that the connection is gone-- so you have to go in and manually close the connection. The logfile shows bunches of HDLC errors when this is happening. -----begin----- $ telnet localhost 3000 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. User Process PPP.

I have setup a fbsd machine running 2.2.2-REL (486/66 16M ram), compiled with: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=5 Under /etc/rc.conf, I have Firewall=YES I have installed ed1 and ed0. ed1 is primary, and is working fine. I havent been able to get ed0 working as of yet. Fbsd has really changed since the last version I ran, 2.1.5-REL. (maybe someone could explain that to me as well). However this is a problem, its not my main concern currently. It might be due to a lack of understanding on my part, as to the configuation of ipfw. But this is what I am attempting to do. On my LAN, I have a primary 16 port hub, which hosts machines that I dont wish to firewall. I have my 486 routed thro this hub, into ed1. ed0 is then routed to my secondary hub which routes the servers I wish to firewall.

Its as if when incoming packets reach the machine, it looks to ipfw, finds the 65535 line and denys it. Thus disregarding anything eles that might be added. I have tried multiple things to get it to work. I know my rc.firewall file is setup correctly. Even with ed0 not working, I still cant go anywhere via ed1. This puzzles me, as it should work. I dont want to setup a proxy server, thus having to change all my dns to point to the firewall, and having the firewall tell the packet where to go. I need to keep the dns the same, while filtering ICMP, TCP, UDP etc. This is my reason for the physical setup: main hub -> firewall -> second hub -> machines to be firewalled. Is this not possible? I havent been able to find many docs on freebsd ipfw, maybe there should be better papers written on the setup. Or possibly I just havent found them. With that said.. any suggestions on how to set this up that way I want to? Thank you for your time and I welcome any info anyone has.

For those who are tracking -current, you may have run into the same problem that has been driving me mad this past week: if I do a 'make world' and remove the /usr/obj tree, the make runs fine. If I run my standard nightly build job, which does a -DNOCLEAN, it screws up the file /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0, the standard dynamic C library. The result is that the system effectively hangs when the file is installed. The kernel's still running, but running processes die, and you can't start any more. I have a spare file in /usr/lib which I can move into place, assuming that I can get a shell to run, but as Bill says, that's not everybody's taste.

Well, CFBSD is the only book currently in English, but there are plenty of Japanese ones :-) Seriously, one reason for the lack of books on FreeBSD is that there are so many UNIX books, and FreeBSD *is* UNIX (no matter what the owners of the trademark say). I think that "UNIX for the Impatient", by Paul Abrahams and Bruce Larson, published by Addison-Wesley, might be a good choice for you.

With the little evidence you've given, I'd guess either: 1. named isn't running 2. Your DNS configuration is messed up. Of course, if you had given more information, I might have been able to guess better. But I can look at your DNS configuration, assuming you are talking about thsos.com. It shows A records for router.thsos.com and bob.thsos.com. It also shows serial number 15, which gives no indication as to the age of the entry. What host are you looking for? If it's 'server.thsos.com', as your message implies, then you need to add an entry for it.

The box is a Compaq ProSignia 486/66 with built-in SCSI that FBSD does not recognize. I had an extra Adaptec EISA laying around, so I used that and a very old Seagate 1G for the FBSD install. There is still a 300-ish meg SCSI drive (weird cabling) that has DOS on it. The install went fine, and I can boot via floppy by typing in: boot:1:sd(0,a) All is well until a reboot. I tried installing booteasy tonite, and it does work, but it sees two drives where FBSD sees one and apparently some of the info it passes to the kernel convinces the kernel that FBSD resides on sd1. The boot will fail with a panic when the kernel tries to mount the nonexistant sd1a as root. Again, if I type the same incantation after booteasy gets the kernel going, all is well. I'm a bit confused about the whole PC booting process, and would be interested in any online docs about how this works... And if anyone knows if what I want to do is possible, I'd love to hear it. Might OS-BS be a better bet, in that it is more configurable? Thanks, Charles BTW- I am *very* happy with the performance of the OS on a 486/66 with only 8 megs. It's simply amazing compared to when it had NT 3.51...

What is the implication ? If you need to restart inn every 6 hours or the machine crashes, then there is a problem with MMAP on your machine somehow which (I would guess) is corrupting one of the VM tables. How, I'm not quite sure. I'd try inn without mmap (and without the restart either) and see if its repeatable.

But I really want to install bsd. I think its something that can really help me to broaden my horizon's (per say). All of the following questions I will ask will be based on the documentation read at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7.1-RELEASE/INSTALL.TXT. I want you to know that I am not one of those who doesn't read anything and then expects everything to be done for me. The current status is this: I did d/l the 2 files needed for the boot and I ran the image file as shown. I tried it once and it aborted with a *cannot read error* (i'm running 486dx4/100 win95. But then I formatted another disk and ran again and I pretty sure that it copied ok. I'm afraid to run the boot disc as a result of compatibility problems that I may encounter and that is basically what I wrote for in the first place. So, here it goes. 1)I read about using a boot manager included in the installation. So does this mean that I don't have to partition my drive in order to run bsb? 2)I have a 1.24 gig ide h/d and I have about 500 megs left. This is where i'm stuck. I was told that I would have to partition my h/d so that bsb and win95 dont collide. I have never partitioned a drive before and I do not have a way to backup the 800megs used on the drive. So I'm thinking either A: i have to buy another h/d to run bsd or B: I have to buy an external backup device just to backup the files to partition. I've been told by alot of people that if i tried to make a partition using the dos fdisk that all of my data would be erased and that is why I have to backup the whole drive. Additionally I was told that I would have to reinstall win95 again. This sounds like an awful lot of work 2)I have to keep win95 on my pc (girlfriend will kill me if I delete it) So I'm just trying to find the best way for bsd and win95 to coexist. 3) the floppy that I made from the boot and the fimage files. I dont wanna use this until i resolve the issue of where bsd is going to run right??? Because right now I'm scared to boot with the disk until I either get a new h/d or figure out how to partition my disk. 4) Is there just one nice and simple clear cut file to use for installing. Instead of downloading all of the gzar files?? I'm so used to installing windows applications where you just click on the icon...I suppose thats the problem(subjected to win too long) thats why I want to use the bsb os to get more/some knowledge of computer's and not just clicking on pretty little icon's. 5) I read all about the fips utility and that sounds like something for me to utilies. But do I have a dos partition currently?? i dont know. I says that if you dont have alot of space to use this but I have plenty of h/d space. From what I can tell I think the fips will help me out. But what worries me is the line that says just delete the partition by examining the size. 6) Last one, promise :) Re: Installation: I have a normal dialup connection to the net tcp/ip ppp. i also could access ftp server's so does that mean that when I do resolve the space issue (partition vs new h/d) that all I will need is the boot floppy?? The installation will happen directly from the ftp server?? Then It would automatically get the files I need for the download/installation because thats another thing I dont understan I followed the example given and downloaded all of the files in the info directory. I cant find anywere any documentation that say's for 2.1..etc get such and such files and for this version get such and such files. From what I can see all I have to download is all the files in the bin directory huh?? Well, if you reading this line right now chances are you'v read all of this rederick of mine and for that I am TRULEY grateful. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance....Jason Place.

The output from the equipment is for a serial printer, three wire, 0 volts Rx (Receive) Busy (DTR) Does you programme have the facility to do this.

Then gdb can access the source when you're debugging and show it. However, if you think that this will include the source in the binary, you're off your rocker. I know of no standard way to get the source included in the binary so that gdb can reconstruct it on-the-fly during debugging. The source files have to be available locally. --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) garyj@muc.de (play) gj@freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 28 05:54:14 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id FAA26120 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 28 Aug 1997 05:54:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from chaski.com (chaski-gate.orbis.net [205.164.72.31] (may be forged)) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id FAA26112 for ; Thu, 28 Aug 1997 05:54:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from mike@localhost) by chaski.com (8.8.3/8.8.3) id GAA14622 for questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 28 Aug 1997 06:51:08 GMT From: michael dorin Message-Id: <199708280651.GAA14622@chaski.com> Subject: RAID controllers?

I believe it has a built in NCR 53c710 for the scsi drives. From what I can gather FreeBSD drivers are not available for this controller. I've been thinking about adding a second controller (probably adaptec). The second controller does not seen to see the drives in the hot swap drive bays. :( Those of you familiar with compaq servers should know what I'm talking about. Anyway I can mount another 1 gig drive up in there somewhere. My question is how do I boot this animal into ether side without changing the eisa configuration between times. The NCR side (DOS/WFW/NT) should be able to see all drives but on the adaptec disks FreeBSD won't see the other drive.

What I have found is that Booteasy needs to be installed on both drives, and during bootup, it runs twice, first on drive 1 then on drive 2.

You may have to write your own software to read the serial port. This is not difficult and can be done in either DOS or FreeBSD. Probably no more than 20 lines of code. You may have to put a null modem in the serial line. Customized serial communications are always a little tricky when you are first bringing them up.

I haven't seen any dumb questions on here for a while, so I felt that it was incumbent upon me to step forward and fill the void. ;-) What is the preferred method of keeping dial-up connections alive? My (school) provider kills connections that have been inactive for 8 (freaking) minutes ... i.e., I have to periodically reload long articles on cnn.com or I'll lose my connection in the middle. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I thought I'd just see what everyone else who uses dial-up PPP does. 2.2.1-R, BTW. Got a favorite script or program? Do you just have it ping the host every n minutes?

Sometimes I like to just directly ping aads.agis.net, the primary link between the AGIS sewer and the rest of the internet. Pinging once per second is ok.

Where to start? I guess the first thing is that you will get many more replies to questions when you learn and abide by a few things broadly described as in the area of "good net practices". I know you are used to Win95 holding your hand, but please try to press the "Return" (may be labeled "<-| Enter") key about every 65-70 characters or so. The people who can help you already run some flavor of Unix, and the news readers there don't wrap the lines like the products from Redmond do. We like to control our own computers, not have Bill Gates do it for us.

Run, do not walk, to the nearest large bookstore and look through the Computer section for books on Unix. It is nearly impossible to learn Unix from scratch if you are not already substantially computer literate. I don't have any recommendation for books for complete novices. Spend some time getting comfortable with the level of instruction, then buy the ONE best choice based on what you learned. > The current status is > this: I did d/l the 2 files needed for the boot and I ran the image file as shown.

You will have to come to grips with the unambiguous fact that BSD will have to have some space all its own. If you have the money, a backup system is the way to go. Be sure you get one that can be used in both Windows and BSD. > 3) the floppy that I made from the boot and the fimage files.

I think you just need to read a lot more before you start this installation. You are obviously uncomfortable with what you need to do. Not doing anything is a clear possibility. Unix is not for everyone, no matter how much they might want to master it. It will require considerable dedication on your part to become proficient. We didn't learn what we know by osmosis. > 5) I read all about the fips utility and that sounds like something for me to utilies. But > do I have a dos partition currently?? i dont know.

It will be time well spent if you decide to go ahead. If you decide not to proceed, you will have saved yourself a lot of grief. -- M. L.

Was there ever any resolution? To restate the problem, the following works under 2.2.1 but not under 2.2.2: # sed 's/^/> /' /etc/amd.home > /defaults type:=nfs;sublink:=${key};opts:=rw,intr,nosuid,grpid > * rhost:=homeserver;rfs:=/home # sed 's/^/> /' /etc/amd.net > /defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root;rhost:=${key} > * opts:=rw,nosuid,grpid # amd -a /.amd -c 1800 -k i386 -y ouryp -l syslog \ # /home /etc/amd.home /net /etc/amd.net Under 2.2.2, this automounts home directories correctly, but not `/net' directories! (Again, both home and `/net' directories automount properly under 2.2.1). (The `server' machines, the machines I'm trying to automount from, are all running Solaris). Should I be doing something differently, or is there a bug somewhere?

You are using the default window manager, twm. There are many other window managers availible. I prefer Afterstep, myself. To use applications such as netscape, just type "netscape &" (the & meaning detach from the current xterm and run on its own.) Each user who is using the console, would just type startx. You can put a .xinitrc in the users $HOME directory, which tells X what to start up.

I'm including myself; I don't know why I bothered with that one. The problem is mostly the windows mailers, I believe. The message probably looks fine on people's Windows screen. They don't realize that the line wrapping and paragraph separation conventions in Windows are totally different from those in Unix. It's only when WE see it that it looks like a dense forest. Going the other way should not be a problem at all. Then when you get one of these jockeys that thinks it is "kool" to not use any capitalization it really becomes totally unreadable! Bud -- M. L.

To print a .dvi file, you need to turn it into something your printer can handle. There are few printers that can handle .dvi. Look at dvi* in the ports. I use dvilj2 to print to an HP LaserJet III. The page you see with information about your computer and user name is to identify print jobs for different users, in a shared environment. You can turn it off in /etc/printcap with the sh property.

Edit the LaTeX file, then compile and preview with latex and xdvi. Then when you get ready to print, you will need some utility to print the dvi file. dvips works if you have a PostScript printer or have installed, e.g., apsfilter. There are other printing utilities for other types of printers, but I think the way to go is apsfilter. > I installed both programs via the > ports collection (so there should not be any wrong settings) and if a .tex > file is "compiled" to a .dvi file, there should not be any error either. One possibility is that you might have programs which have two different ideas about where to find their files (speculation here). I recommend that people install the tetex package instead of individual TeX component programs. tetex is an integrated TeX environment which has been carefully crafted so that all the programs work together. xdvi, dvips, etc are all there and all work together smashingly well ;-) > > One more general question about printing under FreeBSD: whenever I print > something first of all I get a page printed with information about my > computer- and user name.

[SNIP] you need to set the protection on the pk directory (/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk or /usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/pk) to allow anyone to write to it. My guess is that MakeTeXPK is writing your need fonts to /tmp and xdvi and/or dvips are looking in for the pk files in one of the two directories above.

(Funny, isn't it?) Does anyone know where pkg_add record that a package has been added? I need to know that so I can just delete that entry and pkg_delete and pkg_add the package. 3. I really hate the fact that the port collection does tell you how to start a program after it has been added to your system. Some commonly known ones like emacs, pine, etc, of course, I have no problem with. But in general how can I find out what to type in the console to start a program?

I have a fixed-frequency 19 inch monitor. These are readily available on the surplus market from Hitachi and Sony. They make excellent X displays. By massaging the XF86Config file, you can set the X server up with most VGA cards to work just fine with these monitors. The two that I have are 1024x768 only. They will not display 640x480. The problem is that you do not see the boot messages as the computer is booting and you can't use the syscons virtual screens because they run in 640x480 . This can be a real pain in times of trouble when something hangs up (like when you are installing new hardware or something of that sort). I have to keep an old 640x480 monitor around for these occasions, and it's very unhandy to have to carry this thing in and connect it to the computer just to see why the system didn't boot! 8-) . I believe the problem is that the ROM BIOS sets the initial resolution to 640x480, so that the resolution in which the boot messages are displayed. I don't what to comtemplate changing the ROM BIOS, but I thought that someone in the FreeBSD gang was playing with at least being able to change the scan rate immediately after BIOS passed control to FreeBSD, but I haven't seen anything about this lately. Was this wishful thinking?

You need to set the TERM environment variable to correspond with the emulation you are using on your Microsoft machine. That may not solve all the problems: I have yet to see a completely correct terminal emulation on a Microsoft machine.

I don't have a clear idea of what mail tool(s) I should be using. Here is my situation. I have a ppp connection to netcom. Mail messages are held on the netcom server until I down load them. I have been using Netscape 3.xx. Today, I lost the same outgoing mail twice! I could not recreate it the second time. So, I really lost something. This is the last straw. So, I am looking for a replacement. I receive about 100 messages per day. I reply to about 15. I keep an average of 100 messages on file, cleaning out once per month, or so. I like keeping track of sent messages and refer to them almost daily. I have used emacs for reading news and messages on a system that had a permanent network connection. Emacs seemed to work fine. I can keep messages in folders, etc... I can use mail for outgoing messages, with no problem. It was a little tricky getting the return address correct. That is solved . I use emacs as a text editor. I am preparing this message with emacs. To use emacs, I need some daemon to fetch mail from the netcom pop3 server. I want the daemon to check for mail at some configurable time, fetch messages, and notify me. The daemon should tolerate the ppp connection being down. What are your preferences? What is the best for this?

Yes, I agree completely (and understood your point too ;-). I hit the delete key when I find nonwrapped lines, when the text is an heap of "kool wordz" (I, although not being an english mother-tongue, do *hate* when people bastardize it), when there's no subject or the subject is not self-explaining and when the text is full of html tags. > I'm including myself; I don't know why I bothered with that one.

Always consider the DOS-based installation as a last resort. The FreeBSD-based installation works much more smoothly. It's true that there is no file XF86-CX.TGZ on the CD-ROM. This isn't a bug, though, it's a feature: the file names are longer and more descriptive. Unfortunately, DOS can't handle them, so the installation has to resort to trickery to install them at all. In this case, I can't even guess which of the following files, all in the directory XF8632, might be intended: X329NKV.tgz X32Ma64.tgz X32cfg.tgz X32lk98.tgz X329NS3.tgz X32Ma8.tgz X32doc.tgz X32lkit.tgz X329SPW.tgz X32Mono.tgz X32f100.tgz X32man.tgz X329TGU.tgz X32P9K.tgz X32fcyr.tgz X32nest.tgz X328514.tgz X329WEP.tgz X32S3.tgz X32fnon.tgz X32prog.tgz X329480.tgz X329WS.tgz X32S3V.tgz X32fnts.tgz X32ps.tgz X329EGC.tgz X329WSN.tgz X32SVGA.tgz X32fscl.tgz X32set.tgz X329GA9.tgz X32AGX.tgz X32VG16.tgz X32fsrv.tgz X32vfb.tgz X329GAN.tgz X32I128.tgz X32W32.tgz X32html.tgz X329LPW.tgz X32Ma32.tgz X32bin.tgz X32lib.tgz You'll notice the mixed case in these names. This is significant. I would suggest one of two ways to solve your problem: 1. Make a boot floppy and install from FreeBSD. It's *much* less prone to error. 2. Install the rest of the system, and then install XFree86 manually after you've rebooted. The first way is definitely the easiest.

You didn't specify your configuration, but I'm assuming you're using IDE drives. The time is spent probing for disks you *don't* have. You can significantly shorten it by commenting out the lines for disks you don't have (like wd2, wd3, etc.) in the kernel config file, rebuilding the kernel, and rebooting. There's also somewhere a definition for the timeout itself, but it keeps elluding my memory. Search the archives if just commenting out unused disks doesn't help. > > 2.

What could be done is to set up /compat as a link to, say, /usr/compat. This should work, and have you compatibility libraries on the /usr filesystem. As for packages, did you try pkg_delete -f ?

(Last time I checked I couldn't find any) Most of the time ports do have docs, but they are part of the original distribution (not the port files itself). After you make the port, look in the directory called "working" under the port directory. This directory contains the original files (with the patches applied to them). Somewhere under this directory you'll usually find all the docs the original author of the software wrote. > > 4. Last question. I want to have netscape for FreeBSD.

If you are using fvwm, then look for system.fvwmrc file in the that window manager's directory. This is a default config file. You can copy this file in the users home directory as '.fvwmrc' and make changes accordingly. Changes can be what shell to use i.e. tcsh, sh, csh etc. etc. You can change menu's and add different item's in the fvwm's existing menu's. Good luck !!!. Prashant.

But when I want to edit the .dvi file (either in xdvi or in ghostview) I always get error messages! I installed both programs via the ports collection (so there should not be any wrong settings) and if a .tex file is "compiled" to a .dvi file, there should not be any error either. Why would you want to edit the .dvi file? All editing is done on the .tex file and then compiled. What error messages do you get? What port did you install? If it is teTeX, you should run texconfig to set up all TeX and related programs like xdvi and others. One more general question about printing under FreeBSD: whenever I print something first of all I get a page printed with information about my computer- and user name. Is there any possiblity to turn this (mal-) function off? Is it a network printer? Is it connected to a printer server. What OS does the print server run?

If you happen to be staring at the console, it's pretty obvious for a person to determine what is happening, but I can't figure out how to tell from a script. If you mount a write-protected flopp, and remove a file on it, the script can't tell if the file was really removed or not (it sure looks like it was removed from the scripts point of view). I know I could unmount the floppy, remount it, and test if the files are really gone, but then /var/log/messages becomes full of needless write-protected floppy errors.

I suppose it's possible, depending on where it fails. But if you have a poor network connection, you might find it better to ftp the stuff first. If the connection breaks (which happens *far* too often), you can at least restart where you left off with the 'reget' command. To do this, you need to have at least the base system installed, of course. > I had to get the CD because of poor connections. Hmm. Maybe it's just because of my distance from the nearest ftp site, coupled with the slow speed and cost of Internet services, but I don't really consider ftp installation a serious way to do things. For most people, it's more expensive than the CD-ROM.

I have plenty of work cut out for me reading the Handbook and figuring out FreeBSD. When I boot Windows 95, so far my applications run OK. The only problem is with the utilities: Windows Explorer, Find and My Computer. They all three hang up and freeze the system. I am almost certain that this has something to do with their inability to read the contents of the partition where FreeBSD resides, and with their being set to look at that partition. Perhaps a solution would be to use the installation menu to unmount the partition or mount it as a DOS partition, reboot under Windows where the partition would show up as the E: drive (pushing the CD-ROM over to F:) Then use some DOS or Windows utility to hide it.

If I switch over to another tty and try to remove large file or a lot of files at one time, system crashes and reboots. Anyone had a problem like that before and know what can be done to fix it? I looked through the archives and noticed a lot of people with the same error. But could not find the solution and it seems like my machine is the only one that reboots. Yes, I tried messing around with apm and different BIOS settings. If there is no fix for it I will have to avoid ethernet FTPs and stick with 28.8 :(. Any help would be great.

There's a little program called vmount for NeXTStep/OpenStep (they're BSD, too) so it wouldn't be a big job to port it to FreeBSD. With it you can mount any filesystem that a Linux can do( even NTFS). Its source code is available and it requires the include and the fs subtree of a 2.x Linux kernel to compile. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sebestyen Zoltan It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up. szoli@caesar.elte.hu But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Are you actually exchanging data with the peer? When I see this happen, it's usually because the modem got carrier, pppd took over and started to try to negotiate the link with the PPP software on the other end, and got no response from the peer. Usually, that means my provider's recycling his terminal server for some reason; the modem answered, but the terminal server (wherein resides the peer) isn't up. Also, if you're ambitious, I'd suggest reading RFC 1548; it describes the PPP protocol. IMO, understanding the protocol even a little bit helps when debugging PPP setup problems. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ With friends like these, who need hallucinations?

The nub of the problem: my From: address is not being re-written correctly, and I can't find the place to fix it properly. I believe that the problem has only manifested itself with the installation of tkrat because tkrat is the first MUA I have installed that generates a "From:" header field, and I can't find a way to turn that off. I think that Tkrat is also the only MUA I have that connects directly to the localhost SMTP socket to deliver mail, rather than just running sendmail -t. I don't want a From: header, because I want sendmail to insert one for me. I want sendmail to do it for me because I want it to look my user name "andrew" up in /etc/userdb.db, and translate it to "reilly@zeta.org.au" which is the mail address at my ISP. Along with a mail address, my ISP provides me with a dynamically allocated IP address which has a real name that is something like dialup73.syd1.zeta.org.au, and different every time I connect, and so consequentally not useful as a hostname. I have therefore assigned my hostname (gurney.reilly.home, for want of something better) to one of the 10.0.0.x addresses, and aliased that onto my lo0 (localhost) network interface. To make things work without resolv.conf files and so on, this is all reflected in name server entries set up on my local name daemon. Now to stop spam, my ISP (Hi Nick!) has tweaked his sendmail host to deny connections to any host that lies about its domain name in the envelope, so I have to make my sendmail lie about it's bogus domain name so that it looks truthful. (I think that's the story.) Anyway, for a while things have been peachy after telling sendmail to masquerade as zeta.org.au, and to also masquerade-envelope. What is happening at the moment is that tkrat is filling out a From: field with a fully qualified (but deliberately bogus) domain name andrew@gurney.reilly.home, and sendmail is dutifully translating that to andrew@zeta.org.au, which is unfortunately the address of another user on zeta.org.au. That is, in this situation sendmail is not performing the user database lookup. I can think of two "correct" answers to this problem, and one lame one (that I'm using to get this message out): I just don't know how to implement either of the correct answers. The lame one is to tell tkrat to use the correct (external) From: address. This is lame because it is a lie in my own domain, that tkrat compensates for by generating a Sender: field. It is also lame because if I ever decided to reply to my own messages, they would have to be routed to my ISP, rather than be delivered locally. The "simplest" correct answer is to stop tkrat from generating a From: header. None of my other mailers (mail, elm, mutt) seem to do that, and the From: address ends up right. I spent this evening poring over the tkrat documentation and sources, but was unable to figure out how to do that: I don't really understand tcl syntax, for starters. The "most" correct answer is to make sendmail do the userdb lookup on the supplied From: address (after figuring out that it is a local user address despite being fully qualified). Unfortunately, sendmail seems to use extra magic to do userdb lookups, rather than exposing the mechanism through the .cf file (where there are plenty of other data base lookups), so I don't know how to get this to happen. I've thought of setting up a duplicate access to the userdb map: Kuserdb btree /etc/userdb and then adding some sender address re-writing rules to use this, but I thought that before burning more hours on that effort I would ask the collected wisdom of the FreeBSD community, the author of tkrat and my ISP. I have to say that despite years of experience as a part-time Unix box admin, it's actually much HARDER to get a system set up properly in a dial-up environment with only one real user than it was to maintain a distributed group of 20 users in a fully-connected, university environment.

We're just looking for answers. Hi Cliff, surely they _are_ idiots ;-) I do love our daemon, Chuck. My ****big**** dream is that someone will draw a sexy "daemonette" too ;-) >From chapter 31 of the "Unix System Administration Handbook" by Nemeth (a very good book) : The words "daemon" and "demon" both come from the same root, but "daemon" is an older form and its meaning is somewhat different. A daemon is an attendant spirit that influences one's character or personality. Daemons aren't minions of good or evil; they are creatures od independent thought and will. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons. One should hope that your visitors are able to understand irony. Also, it is interesting to note that the world "daemon" was first used at MIT for the CTSS OS, then it moved to Multics and after to UNIX.

PCs on bootup. I've never heard of a BIOS setting to use anything but that or a monochrome card (which you should stay away from if you are using an ISA ethernet card, at least in my experience). I've often thought that you might be able to fool some BIOSen to boot from a serial terminal, then you could shift to your display card, keyboard, mouse when you start X. Even if you could not fool the BIOS into using serial terminal, I'm almost positive you could force BSD to use a serial terminal console, in which case you would only miss the BIOS messages, but should get the BSD boot messages. Does anyone else know about this stuff in more depth and would be willing to comment?

I installed one of these fairly recently, and had to do a *lot* of messing around with Compaq configuration floppies to make it recognise the Adaptec, telling it which slot it was in, IRQs, mem, DMA etc (or some subset thereof). It eventually installed, and is now working fine, though the whole experience increased my bias towards Compaq somewhat. Once installed, the lnc driver can be used for ethernet.

I have and have had this same setup on one my drives for some time, currently with 2.2.1, with smaller disks and now with a 4.3Gig hard disk, DOS fdisk always reports the FreeBSD slice as a non-DOS partition. Just to double check, you might verify that in FDISK your looking at the FDISK info for the correct disk. Formatting aside, your fdisk listing should look pretty much like what you see in sysinstall or with FreeBSD's fdisk as far as the four slice assignments. Hmmm. I wonder. Do an fdisk in FreeBSD and see what slices your DOS and FreeBSD partitions are. In particular, I'm curious as to whether there might be an "empty" slot or two in between the two partitions (empty spot in MBR slice table) -- e.g. slice 1 = DOS; slice 3 or 4 == FreeBSD. It's a long shot, but I wonder if this were the case whether DOS might get confused when it encounters a blank entry in the MBR slice table and incorrectly assume that the remaining slots were unassigned as well.

No-brainer, the SMCs are a much better card due to the 900's limited buffer. Now for the problem, as we all know, the SMC cards seem to be evolving at a rapid pace. I've got two of them, both 21140-AC based, but the smaller chips are different, and I can't get these to work with any of the following if-de.c (under 2.2.2); from 2.2.2 (which didn't even recognize the second card), from current, or from www.3am-software.com. I've verified that the cable works fine, and I'm connecting to either an SMC TigerHub TP12 (for 10mbit) or an EZ Switch Plus (for 100mbit). With one card, I get an almost instant partition at 10mbit, a blinking link light at 100mbit, and a message saying that autosense failed.

I suspect that if I lock the first card at 10 or 100mbit, that all I'm going to do is make the first act like the second, though I do plan on testing this when I can take my machine down (begin the only sane person in the office, my FreeBSD workstation has proven to be the best place to put the office DNS server and Intranet server, so I can't experiment during office hours).

This was done to eliminate layers between the vn device and the actual disk. The problem is that there are serious resource starvation issues. Imagine the case where you are out of memory... You might need to allocated buffers to allocation more disk space then. If there was only one level of recursion, there would be no problem. In the majority of the time it works, however, there are cases where the kernel stack gets fried because of overrun. So, in order to fix that problem, and for efficiency, the layers that provide the disk block allocation are bypassed. -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 29 08:57:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id IAA11104 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 29 Aug 1997 08:57:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from codie04.ops.aol.com (codie04.ops.aol.com [152.163.8.11]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id IAA11099 for ; Fri, 29 Aug 1997 08:57:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from codie04.ops.aol.com by codie04.ops.aol.com with SMTP (1.38.193.5/16.2) id AA15616; Fri, 29 Aug 1997 11:56:10 -0400 Message-Id: <3406F119.7AED@dc.infi.net> Date: Fri, 29 Aug 1997 11:56:09 -0400 From: Ron Steele X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (X11; I; HP-UX A.09.04 9000/887) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Dos partition labeled Freebsd Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Back in the bad old days of expensive disks, I partitioned a one gig drive for DOS and FreeBSD. After adding a second FreeBSD drive, I used the FreeBSD partition on the first drive for Win95. This all works fine. The problem is that I can't mount the Win95 partions under FreeBSD. When I look at the disklable, FreeBSD still thinks it is a unix disk. The bottom line is, it won't mount as a DOS drive because it is seen a unix disk and, of course, it won't mount as a unix drive with the "bad super block" error. The boot probe complains bitterly about this also. So, is there a way to re-lable the Win95 partition to be a DOS disk without destroying the data on it? Alternitively, is there a way to force mount to ignore the partition label?

The bios and kernel boot messages indicate the opposite however. I build a custom kernel using the memsize keyword as recommended in the FAQ to no effect. This did not happen with 2.1.7 stable. 2) Our disks are split here: first partition windows95 or winnt and the second partition freebsd. Can we mount the windows partitions on freebsd and transfer files between them? (mount_msdos did not work) Please be specific if this is possible. 3) In general to whom should questions like these be addressed in the future? Thanks much for your time. Sincerely, Daniel C.

It uses an IDE interface, and I believe it is an ATAPI device. Some mother boards (like mine, Giga-Byte GA-586HX) have a bios upgrade which provides BIOS native support to use it as an A: drive. Any information would be helpful, but my main questions are: 1. Does FreeBSD support this device? With BIOS native support? 3. Does changing media (1.44M -> 120M & 120M -> 1.44M) involve anything other than mount/umount. (wouldn't think so) 4. Can I install on and boot FreeBSD from this device?

We're just looking for answers. Here's something from the preface to "The Complete FreeBSD". The little daemon on the cover of this book symbolizes BSD. It is included with kind permission of Marshall Kirk McKusick, one of the leading members of the former Computer Sciences Research Group at the University of California at Berkeley, and owner of the daemon's copyright. The daemon has occasionally given rise to a certain amount of confusion. In fact, it's a joking reference to processes which run in the background. The outside world occasionally sees things differently, as the following story indicates: Newsgroups: alt.humor.best-of-usenet Subject: [comp.org.usenix] A Great Daemon Story From: Rob Kolstad Newsgroups: comp.org.usenix Subject: A Great Daemon Story Linda Branagan is an expert on daemons. She has a T-shirt that sports the daemon in tennis shoes that appears on the cover of the 4.3BSD manuals and The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System by S. Leffler, M. McKusick, M. Karels, J. Quarterman, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Reading, MA 1989. She tells the following story about wearing the 4.3BSD daemon T-shirt: Last week I walked into a local "home style cookin' restaurant/watering hole" in Texas to pick up a take-out order. I spoke briefly to the waitress behind the counter, who told me my order would be done in a few minutes. So, while I was busy gazing at the farm implements hanging on the walls, I was approached by two "natives." These guys might just be the original Texas rednecks. "Pardon us, ma'am. Mind if we ask you a question?" Well, people keep telling me that Texans are real friendly, so I nodded. "Are you a Satanist?" Well, at least they didn't ask me if I liked to party. "Uh, no, I can't say that I am." "Gee, ma'am. Are you sure about that?" they asked. I put on my biggest, brightest Dallas Cowboys cheerleader smile and said, "No, I'm positive. The closest I've ever come to Satanism is watching Geraldo." "Hmmm. Interesting. See, we was just wondering why it is you have the lord of darkness on your chest there." I was this close to slapping one of them and causing a scene--then I stopped and noticed the shirt I happened to be wearing that day. Sure enough, it had a picture of a small, devilish-looking creature that has for some time now been associated with a certain operating system. In this particular representation, the creature was wearing sneakers. They continued: "See, ma'am, we don't exactly appreciate it when people show off pictures of the devil. Especially when he's lookin' so friendly." These idiots sounded terrifyingly serious. Me: "Oh, well, see, this isn't really the devil, it's just, well, it's sort of a mascot. Native: "And what kind of football team has the devil as a mascot?" Me: "Oh, it's not a team. It's an operating--uh, a kind of computer." I figured that an ATM machine was about as much technology as these guys could handle, and I knew that if I so much as uttered the word "UNIX" I would only make things worse. Native: "Where does this satanical computer come from?" Me: "California. And there's nothing satanical about it really." Somewhere along the line here, the waitress noticed my predicament--but these guys probably outweighed her by 600 pounds, so all she did was look at me sympathetically and run off into the kitchen. Native: "Ma'am, I think you're lying. And we'd appreciate it if you'd leave the premises now." Fortunately, the waitress returned that very instant with my order, and they agreed that it would be okay for me to actually pay for my food before I left. While I was at the cash register, they amused themselves by talking to each other. Native #1: "Do you think the police know about these devil computers?" Native #2: "If they come from California, then the FBI oughta know about 'em." They escorted me to the door. I tried one last time: "You're really blowing this all out of proportion. A lot of people use this `kind of computers.' Universities, researchers, businesses. They're actually very useful." Big, big, big mistake. I should have guessed at what came next. Native: "Does the government use these devil computers?" Me: "Yes." Another big boo-boo. Native: "And does the government pay for 'em? With our tax dollars?" I decided that it was time to jump ship. Me: "No. Nope. Not at all. Your tax dollars never entered the picture at all. I promise. No sir, not a penny. Our good Christian congressmen would never let something like that happen. Nope. Never. Bye." Texas. What a country. In fact, the daemon tradition goes back quite a way. Just recently the following message went through the FreeBSD-chat mailing list: To: "Jonathan M. Bresler" Cc: obrien@antares.aero.org (Mike O'Brien), joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de, chat@FreeBSD.org, juphoff@tarsier.cv.nrao.edu Date: Tue, 07 May 1996 16:27:20 -0700 Sender: owner-chat@FreeBSD.org > details and gifs PLEASE! If you insist. :-) Sherman, set the Wayback Machine for around 1976 or so (see Peter Salus' A Quarter Century of UNIX for details), when the first really national UNIX meeting was held in Urbana, Illinois. This would be after the "forty people in a Brooklyn classroom" meeting held by Mel Ferentz (yeah I was at that too) and the more-or-less simultaneous West Coast meeting(s) hosted by SRI, but before the UNIX Users Group was really incorporated as a going concern. I knew Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie would be there. I was living in Chicago at the time, and so was comic artist Phil Foglio, whose star was just beginning to rise. At that time I was a bonded locksmith. Phil's roommate had unexpectedly split town, and he was the only one who knew the combination to the wall safe in their apartment. This is the only apartment I've ever seen that had a wall safe, but it sure did have one, and Phil had some stuff locked in there. I didn't hold out much hope, since safes are far beyond where I was (and am) in my locksmithing sphere of competence, but I figured "no guts no glory" and told him I'd give it a whack. In return, I told him, he could do some T-shirt art for me. He readily agreed. Wonder of wonders, this safe was vulnerable to the same algorithm that Master locks used to be susceptible to. I opened it in about 15 minutes of manipulation. It was my greatest moment as a locksmith and Phil was overjoyed. I went down to my lab and shot some Polaroid snaps of the PDP-11 system I was running UNIX on at the time, and gave it to Phil with some descriptions of the visual puns I wanted: pipes, demons with forks running along the pipes, a "bit bucket" named /dev/null, all that. What Phil came up with is the artwork that graced the first decade's worth of "UNIX T-shirts", which were made by a Ma and Pa operation in a Chicago suburb. They turned out transfer art using a 3M color copier in their basement. Hence, the PDP-11 is reversed (the tape drives are backwards) but since Phil left off the front panel, this was hard to tell. His trademark signature was photo-reversed, but was recopied by the T-shirt people and "re-forwardized", which is why it looks a little funny compared to his real signature. Dozens and dozens of these shirts were produced. Bell Labs alone accounted for an order of something like 200 for a big picnic. However, only four (4) REAL originals were produced: these have a distinctive red collar and sleeve cuff. One went to Ken, one to Dennis, one to me, and one to my then-wife. I now possess the latter two shirts. Ken and Dennis were presented with their shirts at the Urbana conference. People ordered these shirts direct from the Chicago couple. Many years later, when I was living in LA, I got a call from Armando Stettner, then at DEC, asking about that now-famous artwork. I told him I hadn't talked to the Illinois T-shirt makers in years. At his request I called them up. They'd folded the operation years ago and were within days of discarding all the old artwork. I requested its return, and duly received it back in the mail. It looked strange, seeing it again in its original form, a mirror image of the shirts with which I and everyone else were now familiar. I sent the artwork to Armando, who wanted to give it to the Ultrix marketing people. They came out with the Ultrix poster that showed a nice shiny Ultrix machine contrasted with the chewing-gum-and-string PDP-11 UNIX people were familiar with. They still have the artwork, so far as I know. I no longer recall the exact contents of the letter I sent along with the artwork. I did say that as far as I knew, Phil had no residual rights to the art, since it was a `work made for hire', though nothing was in writing (and note this was decades before the new copyright law). I do not now recall if I explicitly assigned all rights to DEC. What is certain is that John Lassiter's daemon, whether knowingly borrowed from the original, or created by parallel evolution, postdates the first horde of UNIX daemons by at least a decade and probably more. And if Lassiter's daemon looks a lot like a Phil Foglio creation, there's a reason. I have never scanned in Phil's artwork; I've hardly ever scanned in anything, so I have no GIFs to show. But I have some very very old UNIX T-shirts in startlingly good condition. Better condition than I am at any rate: I no longer fit into either of them. Mike O'Brien creaky antique Note the date of this message: it's very recent. There is still a possibility that Mike will scan the original teeshirt, and that it will be made available. Remember, you read it here first.

No. Like all reasonable systems, UNIX begins labelling serial ports and other resources with the first counting number, 0. If you have two serial ports, they are numbered 0 and 1.

Now that you've told me what you need, I can explain the miracles of IP routing as they apply to your network. First, lets draw a little diagram of what I'm assuming your network is like; we can make refinements later on if necessary. You have a local workgroup attached to one interface on your router, and the other interface on the router is attached to a "public" network, i.e. one connected to the internet. The machines on your local workgroup have IP addresses that are distinct from the rest of the world -- they are in a unique "IP network." So we have: (The Internet) | World Router 204.203.202.254 en0 | | | | +----------+----------+------------+----------+ Public network | ed0 204.203.202.250 Franken Your FreeBSD Router routing host 211.212.213.250 ed1 | +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ Workgroup | | | | | | | | | Each of the interfaces on FrankenRouter, ed0 and ed1, must have unique IP addresses. Not only must they be different from each other, they also must have different network parts. For instance, lets assume the IP address for your existing "public" network is 204.203.202.0, and the IP address for your new "workgroup" network is 210.211.212.0. In order to keep things simple, you choose to use the same host part, 250, for both interfaces. So, we configure the interfaces thusly (in /etc/sysconfig or /etc/rc.conf): network_interfaces="lo0 ed0 ed1" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_ed0="inet 204.203.202.250 broadcast 204.203.202.255" ifconfig_ed1="inet 211.212.213.250 broadcast 211.212.213.255" Now, for the routing part. Your systems on the workgroup network must be configured to use FrankenRouter as their default router: defaultrouter="211.212.213.250" When you configure ed1 on FrankenRouter, a route to the 211.212.213.0 network will be automagically entered for ed1. The same process happens for ed0 and the 204.203.202 network. You must, however, give FrankenRouter a default route as well. This will be the same as the default route for all of the other systems on the 204.203.202.0 network, in this case, "WorldRouter": defaultrouter="204.203.202.254" So, when you send a packet to 16.1.0.2 from one of the systems on your workgroup network, it will send the packet to ed1 on FrankenRouter. FrankenRouter will then send it on to the "en0" interface on WorldRouter, which will (hopefully) send it out on the internet via your ISP. For the inbound routing, you must do the opposite. You will have to configure WorldRouter to route packets for the 211.212.213.0 network via FrankenRouter. If WorldRouter were a BSD box, the command would be: route add 211.212.213.0 204.203.202.250 You will have to look up the syntax for your router. At this point, any packet bound for 211.212.213.* that arrives at WorldRouter will be forwarded on to ed0 on FrankenRouter, which will forward it to the ed1 interface and on to the workgroup network. You will also have to propagate the route to the 211.212.213.0 network via WorldRouter to the remainder of the internet. You will need to discuss this with your ISP. You are now ready to route to and from the internet from your workgroup network. I hope I've answered the question you are asking. Feel free to clarify and/or elaborate as necessary. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Humans did it for centuries, and languages like FORTRAN still do. Of course, this caused untold trouble when fitting device numbers into bit fields, so it makes more sense to start counting at 0.

It means that the file system in question was unmounted and remounted by the remote server, probably not in the same manner (i.e. a different file system, or some such), while it remained mounted on your machine. The most common reason for this is that the remote system is rebooted. This can also happen if mountd dies on the remote file system, but in this case you can't unmount and mount it. Otherwise, > I had to umount and remount the partition to get it working again... That's the right thing to do.

When the card senses a power failure, explosive bolts eject moderator and control rods from the reactor's inte- rior within 20 rsec, bringing the reactor to its fully rated output of20 kW in less than a millisecond. Over its 12year active life, the reactor's power decreases by 2646 to 15 kW. Integral heat fins provide convec- tion cooling of the reactor's 5OOW power dissipation while the reactor remains in its standby condition. If your computer's fans can't furnish 400 ft2/sec of forced air for cooling, consider buying the manufacturer's heavy-water cooling jacket and stainless-steel pump module, which fit conveniently. under a desk or workbench. Latches on each side of the reactor module let you quickly exchange the radioactive core, should you need to replace it. An optional circular viewing port of lead glass lets you check the reac- tor's internal mechanical assem- blies. To protect users from undue radi- ation, each reactor includes a shield- ing kit comprising dye self-stick lead plates and 20 radiation-moni- toring film badges. The lead plates mount inside your computer's enclo- sure and reduce the gamma rays that cause soft errors to floppy-disk and RAM data. For further protec- tion, consider buying the manufac- turer's 200-ft extension cords for keyboards and monitors. Because the reactor can supply more than enough power for your computer, you can sell excess power to your local utility company. An add-on phasing and metering kit (PMK-1) lets you connect your reac- tor to the local power grid. Each PMK-1 includes standard power- sale contracts and Rural Electrifica- tion Board rules and regulations/ Although not required in all lacal- ities, each reactor card package in- cludes a standard 23-volume site- evacuation plan. The plan includes blank forms for you to fill in the name and address of your reactor site and then mail to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. As an op tion, the manufacturer supplies the plan on 12 MS-DOS-compatible disks in Wordstar format. USer- friendly templates let you type in information so that your word proc- essor can create a complete, printed document. Reactor prices start at $2.3 mil- lion (1).

Converting DOS files to UNIX (which is what I assume you're doing) is only a couple lines of perl. What's more, you don't need to recompile them if you want to take 'em someplace else (though you might need to edit the path to the perl binary).

If you don't like upgrading from sources, follow the following procedure: Backup your /etc directory somewhere safe (on your /usr partition, preferably). If you installed the sources with your old version, you are advised to delete most of it (except, perhaps for the directory containing your kernel config files). Boot the new install floppy and choose upgrade. Let it run through the installation, choosing the distributions you require. When it's done it'll drop you into a shell and ask you to make any necessary changes to the files in /etc. Use your saved copy to make those changes (many files have changed since 2.1.5).

FreeBSD is an Operating System. It does not have "built-in" things like a compiler or assembler. A compiler is an added user program, exactly like a program you can write. The C compiler normally distributed with FreeBSD is from GNU. You can start with 'man cc', or 'man gcc'. You may also try 'info gcc', if you have emacs/info installed. Did you install the documents with FreeBSD? You may find a book at a local bookstore on the GNU gcc compiler. The assembly language is likewise an added user program, exactly like one you can write. Assembly language is closely related to the hardware you are running on. Each assembly instruction corresponds to one machine instruction. The assembler normally distributed with FreeBSD is the GNU assembler. Beware, the assembler does NOT use the Intel-style of operands, like all the Microsoft packages. Look at 'man as' or 'info as'. You may find the GNU manuals available in a University Bookstore.

Dos will boot from a second hard drive, if the first drive has a partition unrecognizable by DOS. It just needs to be on C:, I imagine Win95 is the same way.

The second disk is a "Live Filesystem" CD, which is a snapshot of a disk as if FreeBSD had just been installed to it. This is handy for grabbing particular system files without having to manually extract the files from the distribution archives.

The LS-120 drives are not yet supported in FreeBSD. If they acted more like hard disks it may be possible to fool the wd disk driver into thinking they're hard disks, but if they use the ATAPI protocols then it probably won't work. These devices are pretty ripe for a driver write, however. Interested parties should contact hackers@freebsd.org to get started.

Could you be more specific? ``See''ing memory inside of FreeBSD is sort of a moot point since 1) FreeBSD will use all physical memory not used by processes for the buffer cache and 2) the numbers you're seeing could also include swap space.

This is a known problem. One of the repository files was corrupted and throws CVSup for a loop. Figure out which file it is and delete it(sorry I don't remember, check the archives) and retry the sup. Contact jdp@polstra.com, the author, for details.

If it complained about the partition type, then you're running FAT32 and FIPS won't help you. You'll have to get Partition Magic to manipulate the partition.

In this case the manual page gives the proper answer. From lp(4): The communication protocol is selected by the link0 flag: -link0 (default) Use FreeBSD mode (LPIP). This is the simpler of the two modes and therefore slightly more efficient. link0 Use Crynwr/Linux compatible mode (CLPIP). This mode has a simulated ethernet packet header, and is easier to interface to other types of equipment. So do `ifconfig lp0 link0' to set it up. Hope this helps.

After you do `term' you're talking directly to your modem. You should be able to use the AT commands. For instance, to dial, type ATDT 555-5555 where you replace 5's with your ISP's number. If that isn't working and your modem is connected to COM2 (sio1), then at the ppp> prompt type `set device /dev/cuaa1' and then try `term'.

You're talking directly to your modem now, so you need to issue the dial command, which is `ATDT 555-5555', where 5's are the number for your ISP. You want to log in enough to start a PPP session (some ISPs do it automatically) then wait for ppp> to become PPP>. Then you can jump back by ALT-F1 to the main screen and continue.

I don't know how to setup? There are a couple of boot selectors available with FreeBSD. The most common one is called `booteasy'. Find the files `bootinst.exe' and `boot.bin' in the tools/ directory where you found FreeBSD, and run `bootinst' from DOS. If you need to use OnTrack or a similiar program to use your large disk, do *NOT* do this.

After 2.1.5, the ATAPI code was integrated into the standard boot.flp and atapi.flp was abolished. So no special floppy image is necessary.

NTFS partitions are not supported. You can mount FAT (FAT16) partitions, though, by specifying the option '-t msdos' to the mount command. For instance: mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt will bring on a DOS partition on the first IDE disk onto /mnt. The slice number may vary by disks. Note you can also mount extended partitions by using slice numbers >4. The first logical disk would be /dev/wd0s5 in the above example. The man page mount_msdos(8) gives a warning which must be heeded to prevent filesystem damage: If you see the warning: mountmsdosfs(): Warning: root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length then it is possible that writing to the MS-DOS filesystem would produce corruption on the disk. This is a shortcoming in the code which needs to be addressed. If you see this warning umount the disk immediately and do not attempt to mount it again.

Sounds like the Portmaster or the FreeBSD box is dropping some of the data over the network link. The Livingston's are known good hardware, so I don't think there are any problems with interacting with them. You might ask in freebsd-isp@freebsd.org.

Read the section in the Handbook on setting up printing if you haven't already. It is one of the best pieces of documentation we've got. :) Alternatively, download LPRng from dickory.sdsu.edu, build & install against FreeBSD, and print to the printer directly. I assume the HP has a JetDirect card in it and isn't attached to, say, a Novell server by a parallel cable.

You may have to configure the mouse manually. Try configuring w/o the mouse. Then modify /etc/XF86Config, find the 'Pointer' section, and set as appropriate. If you are using moused (you have a mouse cursor in your text sessions), set the mouse to /dev/sysmouse and type to `Mouse Systems'.

The only problem there is that it fits only 2.2.2-RELEASE, not anything after that, like 2.2-STABLE which initiated me to ask for whether it could be included in CURRENT sometime soon for it to be easier to have that and keep getting fixes to other areas of the code also.
