In the efforts of switching to FreeBSD, I first tried to download all the necessary files from an ftp server and put them on floppy disk. When I was finished, fourteen hours after I had started, I had to discover that the installation program on the first disk was unable to read my floppies. It seems that nowhere is any comment on how the disks have to look like, neither does the installation program say anything about this. It simply terminates its attempts to read any media after one try! I think this behaviour and the whole situation is quite annoying. Now I have bought a copy of FreeBSD on a Walnut Creek CD-ROM, and I have no problems with this media. But I would like to consult you on another problem. I have an old ISA Cirrus Logic graphics card (542x, the last number always differs, depending on who you ask), and I have used it long time with the Linux XF86_SVGA server without any problems. Now I went to setup the X server on my new FreeBSD installation, by starting XF86Setup. It worked well, as usual. But when I type "startx" I get the usual bunch of messages, and the last one says, "clgd5420: invalid chipset". Can you tell me the reason for this? I have no idea, and since the source code (in the modified form) is not available, I can't even guess.

I personally think you should discard all floppies before using, and get a CD-ROM instead. > I think this behaviour and the whole situation is quite annoying.

The XFree86 under FreeBSD is the same as under Linux. I would guess that you've linked the wrong server. If that's not the case, why don't you compare your XF86Config with the one you used under Linux? > I have no idea, and since the source code (in the modified form) is > not available, I can't even guess. Of course the source code is available. But it would certainly be heavy going to look for this problem in the source.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Pardon the length of this message, but I'd rather include everything the first time. I'm making the switch from a SunOS system to a FreeBSD solution. Frankly, it's a switch that, theoretically, I'd be wildly happy about except for one thing. It's my terminal. I think. The SunOS system I'm currently using it an old reliable SunOS 4.1.1---none of this Solaris stuff---and it is running tcsh 6.01.00. I access it mostly from a Macintosh running NCSA Telnet 2.7b4, but also from a FreeBSD 2.2.1 system running XFree86. Everything works---tcsh supports file completion with the key, ^C works as an interrupt, ^Z suspends, and so on. Unfortunately, when I use the same software on a FreeBSD 2.1.7.1-RELEASE system, or a FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE system, I don't get filename completion; instead, the terminal beeps and nothing happens. Furthermore, on occasion, ^C doesn't interrupt a process---instead, it suspends it. ^Z does nothing on those occasions. Emacs completely freaks out---keys quit working unless I hit a , which occasionally gets the proper results, but screen updates are difficult at best, and ^Z doesn't work, and ^X^C only suspends the process, and so on. Both of the systems are running tcsh 6.06.00, but I don't think there's anything substantially different in the operations. Identical setups. Different results. Now, granted, they both have different versions of stty. The SunOS system is currently using (with stty -a): speed 38400 baud, 71 rows, 80 columns parenb -parodd cs7 -cstopb -hupcl cread -clocal -crtscts -ignbrk brkint ignpar -parmrk -inpck istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc ixon -ixany -ixoff imaxbel isig iexten icanon -xcase echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -tostop echoctl -echoprt echoke opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel erase kill werase rprnt flush lnext susp intr quit stop eof ^? ^U ^W ^R ^O ^V ^Z/^Y ^C ^\ ^S/^Q ^D The FreeBSD 2.1.7.1-RELEASE system has (with stty -a): speed 9600 baud; 24 rows; 80 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe echok echoke -echonl echoctl -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho pendin -nokerninfo extproc iflags: -istrip icrnl -inlcr -igncr ixon -ixoff -ixany imaxbel -ignbrk brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk oflags: opost onlcr oxtabs cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -dsrflow -dtrflow -mdmbuf cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = ; eol2 = ; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = ; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W; and the FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE system has exactly the same, except that extproc has been changed to -extproc. (But then, the 2.1.7 system is at my ISP, and the 2.2.1 system is at my home.) The curious thing is that if I set -oxtabs on the FreeBSD systems, file completion works fine (which doesn't make sense to me, since that's the *output* of the tabs), but occasionally, ^Z and ^C don't work, and also on occasion, starts echoing as ^I rather than as some number of spaces. Anyone ever heard of this? Until I get this behavior fixed, I'm reluctant to make the switch, but I have a limited time before I have no choice but to make the switch.

I *always* run cvsup as ``cvs''. Your best bet is to remove the offending file (or directory if you're not sure which file caused the problem). Cvsup will just fetch the whole thing again. The only thing you need to do as root is the "cvs update" or "cvs co" unless you trick the system into not mtree'ing /usr/src. This can be done (I would think) by moving ``src'' to ``realsrc'' and sym-linking ``realsrc'' back to ``src''. This should stop mtree from making /usr/src un-checkout-able by a normal user. I just have a perl script that does a `chown -R cvs.research` before doing the checkout as user cvs (the script is suid root and only executable by group research): --------------------------------------------------- #! /usr/bin/suidperl $< = $>; $ENV{'PATH'} = '/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin'; $ENV{'CVSROOT'} = '/home/ncvs'; chdir('/usr'); umask 002; print "Forcing cvs.research permissions on src, ports & doc\n"; system('chown -R cvs.research src ports doc'); system('chmod -R ug+w,o-w src ports doc'); print "Changing to user cvs\n"; $< = (getpwnam('cvs'))[2]; print "Checking out source\n"; system('cvs co src'); print "Building source (All.log)\n"; chdir('/usr/src/sys/i386/boot'); system('make clean >All.log 2>&1'); chdir('/usr/src'); system('make -DNOCLEAN buildworld >>All.log 2>&1 &'); chdir('/usr'); print "Checking out ports\n"; system('cvs co ports'); print "Checking out doc\n"; system('cvs co doc'); print "Building doc\n"; chdir('/usr/doc'); system('make'); print "Installing doc\n"; system('make install'); --------------------------------------------------- Cleaning the ``boot'' directory seems to be necessary.

When I booted from drive 1, it loaded Windows 95. When I booted from drive 2, I just got the menu again...normal. Then I installed FreeBSD from your boot disk image. When promped, I told it you use the normal MBR. I seemed to install just fine, but when I boot my system, it loads Windows 95 no matter what drive I tell it to boot from. I tried to reinstall FreeBSD. I booted from the boot disk and configured the kernel like I did before, but not instead of bringing up the main menu, I get a blank screen with an ASCII block character in the upper-left corner, it accesses my floppy, then hard drive, then CD-ROM, then it does nothing. I tried to make a FIXIT disk, but when I boot from it, it just says it can't find /KERNEL. What do I do now?

I only have /usr/ports/distfiles. By downloading the libc.so.3.0 you offered me I was able to compile, but ddd hanged at startup. Then I 'ln' libc.so.3.0 to libc.so.2.2, and it worked! The only problem is that ddd hangs when I want to display derreferenced pointers. Do you guys have the same problem or it's just my strange mixture :) ? I think 'make' should look some file to know which libraries (especially libc.so.*) to use in order to compile the port. This have to do with each port, or it's a system setting?

Make sure $TERM is | set to something reasonable on the Sun when you log in. I'm assuming that you actually mean adding the cons25 tc entries to FreeBSD's termcap, since that's the one that's being strange (at least from my perspective), and since I don't see a cons25 in Sun's /etc/termcap. :) I really have to apologize for the length of this message, but I'm gonna try to break down the termcap entries, because so far, I've been unable to figure out why setting -oxtabs makes everything work, sort of. SunOS most definitely does have an xterm entry. I've included the actual relevant termcap entries from both the SunOS and FreeBSD (2.2.1-RELEASE) systems at the end of the message if you want to compare them. But I'm going to do some rearranging here and only highlight the actual differences between the systems, and then only for one terminal type: vt100. I've been trying to narrow down the problem, and it occurs even in vt100 mode on the FreeBSD systems, so I'll just stick with that. I'll still include the termcap entries at the end of this message for all the relevant terminal types, though. SunOS has a single vt100 entry. FreeBSD has a couple relevant ones, but I'll start with the basic one. Here are the differences between them: Terminal name: Both have "vt100|vt100-am|vt100am|dec-vt100|dec vt100", but SunOS adds the name "d0". FreeBSD also has a non-padded version of vt100 called "vt100-np|dec-vt100-np|vt100 with no padding (for psl games)" which is used as the basis for xterm. In general, the FreeBSD vt100 entries add a few-millisecond delay, while vt100-np strips those off. We'll deal with that later. First, there are some termcap functions which are completely unknown to me, and undocumented in "man 5 termcap". These exist only in FreeBSD: VT100 Function FreeBSD @7 \E[4~ F1 \E[23~ F2 \E[24~ ac llmmkkjjuuttvvwwqqxxnnpprr``aa k; \E[21~ ut [true] I assume that "@7", "F1", "F2" and "k;" are sent by some function keys, but I don't know what they are. "ac" and "ut" I'm completely in the dark about. I have to assume that these aren't really relevant to the discussion (except for possibly "ut"). Then there are a bunch of things that exist only in the FreeBSD version. The (*) at the end shows that a vt100-np replacement exists without the delay values: VT100 Function FreeBSD ae (end alt charset) 2\E(B (*) as (start alt charset) 2\E(0 (*) bl (bell char) ^G cr (return char) ^M ct (clear all tabs) 2\E[3g (*) DO (down %d lines) 2\E[%dB (*) eo (can erase overstrikes with blank) [true] if (init string file) /usr/share/tabset/vt100 it (tabs initially every N positions) #8 k0 (sent by function key 0) \E[10~ k5 (sent by function key 5) \E[15~ k6 (sent by function key 6) \E[17~ k7 (sent by function key 7) \E[18~ k8 (sent by function key 8) \E[19~ k9 (sent by function key 9) \E[20~ kD (sent by delete key) \E[3~ kI (sent by insert-char key) \E[2~ kN (sent by next-page key) \E[6~ kP (sent by prev-page key) \E[5~ kh (sent by home key) \E[1~ LE (move left %d positions) 2\E[%dD (*) ms (safe to move in standout) [true] nw (newline) 2\EE (*) RI (right %d positions) 2\E[%dC (*) st (set tab at curpos in all rows) 2\EH (*) ta (tab) ^I UP (up %d lines) 2\E[%dA (*) Here again, I'm not sure if there's anything relevant, except for the remote possibility of "ms". Next, let's go through things that are the same. Again, the (*) indicates that vt100-np removes the delay. (**) indicates that SunOS has no delay. (**=n) indicates that SunOS has a different delay of n. VT100 Function FreeBSD am (auto margins) [true] bs (can backspace with ^H) [true] cd (clear to end of display) 50\E[J (*) ce (clear to eol) 3\E[K (*) cm (screen-relative cursor motion) 5\E[%i%d;%dH (*) co (columns) #80 cs (change scroll region) 5\E[%i%d;%dr (*) (**) ho (home cursor) \E[H k1 (sent by function key 1) \EOP k2 (sent by function key 2) \EOQ k3 (sent by function key 3) \EOR k4 (sent by function key 4) \EOS kd (sent by down arrow) \EOB ke (out of keypad-transmit mode) \E[?1l\E> kl (sent by left arrow) \EOD kr (sent by right arrow) \EOC ks (into keypad-transmit mode) \E[?1h\E= ku (sent by up arrow) \EOA le (move cursor left one position) ^H li (lines on screen) #24 mb (turn on blink) 2\E[5m (*) md (turn on bold) 2\E[1m (*) me (turn off all attributes) 2\E[m (*) mr (turn on reverse video) 2\E[7m (*) nd (move cursor right one position) 2\E[C (*) pt (has hardware tabs) [true] rc (restore cursor to last sc) 2\E8 (*) (**) sc (save cursor position) 2\E7 (*) (**) se (end standout mode) 2\E[m (*) sf (scroll text up) 2*\ED (*) (**=5) so (begin standout mode) 2\E[7m (*) sr (scroll text down) 2*\EM (*) (**=5) ue (end underscore mode) 2\E[m (*) up (move cursor up one line) 2\E[A (*) us (start underscore mode) 2\E[4m (*) vt (virtual terminal number) #3 xn (newline ignored after 80 cols) [true] That leaves the following things that are different. (Again, (*) indicates that vt100-np removes the delay): VT100 Function FreeBSD SunOS cl (clear/home) (*) 50\E[H\E[J 50\E[;H\E[2J do (move down one line) (*) 2\E[B ^J kb (sent by backspace key) \177 ^H Also, the initialization and reset strings are different: is (SunOS) \E[1;24r\E[24;1H is (FreeBSD) \E>\E[?1;3;4;5l\E[?7;8h\E[1;24r\E[24;1H rs (SunOS) \E>\E[?3l\E[?4l\E[?5l\E[?7h\E[?8h rs (FreeBSD) \E>\E[?1;3;4;5l\E[?7;8h Finally, SunOS has one thing that FreeBSD doesn't have: The reset code file: rf (SunOS) /usr/share/lib/tabset/vt100 The thing is, I can't see anything between the vt100 defined by SunOS and the vt100s defined by FreeBSD that would result in such weird behavior. So I don't think it's the termcap entries for vt100. I *could* be wrong, and I'd love to know how, but so far. . . .

Both of the systems are running tcsh 6.06.00, but I don't think there's >anything substantially different in the operations. There shouldn't be, but more recent versions of tcsh may know about FreeBSD, which older versions didn't. Question: how did you get tcsh? Did you build it yourself, or did you use the package? Have you tried the tcsh package or port for FreeBSD? I'm using the packaged tcsh, and haven't experienced the problems you note with it. You may well be right about the stty stuff, but tcsh is usually excessively forgiving about them (to the point where I don't really care what my stty says in most cases). Recently, for example, we migrated from SunOS to Solaris at work, but I didn't notice the stty changes associated with this, since I was using tcsh, which seems to behave nicely once you compile the Solaris version. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 7 13:41:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id NAA10094 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 7 Sep 1997 13:41:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from train.tgci.com (train.tgci.com [205.185.169.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id NAA10088 for ; Sun, 7 Sep 1997 13:41:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from emilyd ([206.250.85.101]) by train.tgci.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id NAA18712; Sun, 7 Sep 1997 13:57:19 -0700 Message-Id: <199709072057.NAA18712@train.tgci.com> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Riley J.

(Decoding/debugging termcap or terminfo is roughly akin to doing your own root canal as a hobby.) This is what I've noticed in the past: When a rational value for $TERM is set on the remote login and it doesn't work on your xterm or console you have two choices: 1) add the remote termcap entry to your termcap -- or -- 2) add your terminal definition to termcap on the remote. On some systems, tset actually works right so for those, add a call to tset in your startup script. When that doesn't work, you're back to choice 1 or 2. AIX, like SunOS is antique. Capabilities of xterm, et. al., have improved since X11R4. OpenLook doesn't use xterm from what I remember, so add xterm, vt??? and cons25* termcap entries to the termcap on the Sun. Your problems should go away. (I have 3 AIX systems speaking cons25 right now with no hitches.) The strangeness is coming from programs on the Sun reading _Sun's_ antique termcap and sending those values to your more evolved software. Your FreeBSD system is doing exactly what it is told by the Sun. As an alternative, you can put your FreeBSD termcap in a script that sets $TERMCAP.

I've never had any real luck with vt100 emulation, so I try and avoid it. vt220 or vt320 works better. vt100's are somewhat crippled anyway. Try adding FreeBSD's termcap entries to the Sun's termcap. If it doesn't work, you can always back them out. At this rate, you'll die an old man before you get things working the way you want. -- Jay > SunOS has a single vt100 entry.

Hilton" Subject: ppp problem - freeze up Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk OS: 3.0 BSDI BSD/OS 3.0 Kernel #0: Hardware: Pentium Pro 200 / DigiBoard / Cisco 2500 series / 8 33.6k externals. Problem: I can dial in with Win95 and get a solid tcp connection. Light transfers like WWW browsing appears to work fine but heavy transfers cause a hang which may correct in a minute or so, or may not. Typically, I will connect at 33.6 via Win 95 dialup networking and open a telnet session to the same server. Then I begin a winsock ftp transfer or Usenet retrieval. After a few minutes of 33kbps transfer, the transfer hangs and no more data appears to be moving through the modem. If I drop to dos and do a ping to the server, I get a time-out. Any other winsock apps will fail to run. Netstat will show the column headers then freeze. The telnet sessions is frozen. Sometimes, everything will begin moving again in a minute or so. On most occasions, though, it has remained frozen until I disconnect and re-connect. The modems remain connected with no problem, even for 8 hours or more. I have managed on occasion to download for up to 12 hours with no problem. At other times, I cannot move data for 15 minutes. This occurs with everyone using Win95 (we all do). Doesn't matter if its the original, OSR2 or the latest beta. Fiddling with modem settings makes no difference. Adding low MTU and RWin setting to the registry might improve things but not much.

That seems fair, except that I hate mucking around with FreeBSD's termcap when it's not necessary. I could just replace FreeBSD's termcap with SunOS's termcap for vt100, etc., but the next time I install FreeBSD, I'm gonna have to incorporate that. I'd rather fix the problem the first time. Furthermore, I'm not at all sure that it's the termcap file that's trashing the system's interpretation of ^C, ^Z, and so on. | On some systems, tset actually works right so for those, add a call to tset | in your startup script.

But the Sun system *works just fine*. When I go to the FreeBSD system using the identical terminal setup on my client, the problems start. The SunOS system works fine. cons25 termcaps don't really come into this, because none of my telnet clients can masquerade as a cons25 terminal. | The strangeness is coming from programs on the Sun reading _Sun's_ antique | termcap and sending those values to your more evolved software. Your FreeBSD | system is doing exactly what it is told by the Sun. Uh . . . perhaps I haven't made myself clear. The problem happens when I'm telnetting to a FreeBSD system from a Macintosh running NCSA Telnet 2.7b4, from a PC/Win95 system running vanilla Telnet, and from a FreeBSD box running XF86. It *doesn't* happen *at* *all* when I telnet to a Sun using exactly the same clients. It *also* doesn't seem to happen when I telnet to a FreeBSD box using Win95 QVT/Net 4.1.4, for reasons I don't understand at all. The only thing that seems to fix the tab-completion problem is setting -oxtabs on the FreeBSD box, which doesn't even make sense. This will fix it on the Mac, PC/vanilla and X clients, but screws up tab output on some clients (they come across as ^I rather than a number of spaces). I don't *think* it's the termcap, but I don't know. Modifying Sun's termcap file is irrelevant in this case. I can't imagine why ^C becomes suspend, why ^Z becomes ineffectual, and why Emacs flips out, on top of the tcsh problems. The odd thing is that I know of other people who have had similar problems with my ISP, where the main user box is a FreeBSD system. Any other ideas?

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

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

I only have /usr/ports/distfiles. I'd be curious as to how you built the port, then. This might be your problem. You *should* have a directory /usr/src/ports/devel/ddd with some files in it. If you have the CD-ROM, you can extract it from ports/ports.tgz and then build it like this: # mkdir /usr/src # cd /usr/src # tar xzvf /cdrom/ports/ports.tgz devel/ddd # cd devel/ddd # make all install > By downloading the libc.so.3.0 you offered me I was able to compile, but > ddd hanged at startup. > Then I 'ln' libc.so.3.0 to libc.so.2.2, and it worked! This is dangerous. You may stop other critical parts of your system from working. If that happens, you may have to reboot in single user mode and perform some deep magic in order to recover it. You should replace your libc.so.2.2 as quickly as possible. > The only problem is that ddd hangs when I want to display > derreferenced pointers. Do you guys have the same problem or it's > just my strange mixture :) ? Well, I don't use ddd. I tried it and found it too cumbersome. But I can recall gdb (which runs in the background) running into some serious CPU usage at times like these. Is ddd really hanging, or is it waiting on a looping gdb? > I think 'make' should look some file to know which libraries (especially > libc.so.*) to use in order to compile the port. This have to do with each > port, or it's a system setting? Well, make does what its Makefile tells it. I suspect that your problem is that you haven't been using the FreeBSD port.

Well, an obvious solution might be to install FreeBSD, which is what this mailing list is all about. BSD/OS is a different operating system. Some people here, including myself, use BSD/OS as well, but I haven't seen this problem. Since you paid money for this system, you should be able to get support from bsdi.com.

So two days later, it runs 2 minutes faster. However, the CMOS clock runs around 2 seconds slower per day. This is acceptable to me. After fooling around with CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION and CLK_USE_I586_CALIBRATION options, I can either make it run 2 seconds slower per *hour*, or several seconds faster per minutes, but not to a acceptably inaccurate ranage. The boot verbose flag gives me the following figure inf: ... Calibrating clock(s) ... i586 clock: 199932094 Hz, i8254 clock: 1194681 Hz Calibrating clock(s) ... i586 clock: 199931374 Hz, i8254 clock: 1194663 Hz CPU: AMD K6 (199.93-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x561 Stepping=1 Features=0x8001bf ... Also, even looking into isa/i386/clock.c cannot give me too many clues. In a word, 1) I know Pentium motherboard clock isn't accurate. But is there any workaround for me to set options or modify clock.c to make the kernel clock runs in a acceptably inaccurate range ? 2) Does changing to a new motherboard with better quality help ? 3) I run OSS/FreeBSD commercial sound driver. Does this possibly matter ? THanks for your attention.

In fact, if you have the sources on line, it's /usr/src/ports, but /usr/ports is a symlink to /usr/src/ports.

The background is the second edition of "The Complete FreeBSD", in which I'm trying to improve the introduction to FreeBSD for people who've never used UNIX before (or even for those who've used a different version). In the course of doing this, I'm describing a usable setup, which uses various configuration files which are, of course, derived from what I run on my own system. In order to make things easier for the user, I'm putting them on the CD-ROM, so anybody who wants to use this version can just load the stuff from CD-ROM and have a relatively functional system. One size doesn't fit all, of course, and there's a good chance that there are other versions out there which many (even most) people will prefer. So why not supply them too? If you have anything that you feel is worth sharing, please let me know. About the only thing I ask is that the files don't contain too much dead wood (I know mine do :-) I haven't decided on a structure for storing these files yet, though Jordan has suggested a top-level directory /usr/share/skel/extras. I'd suggest one subdirectory for each unrelated set of config files. Any other suggestions?

What I found out is that the config file the setup program generates has one problem and that is it puts up clock setting in there... Just take out this line OR comment it out and you are up with XF86_SVGA on Cirrus Logic card... I think the error message "clgd5420: invalid chipset". comes there becuase the Cirrus Logic graphics card 542X does not support clock chip probe..... Good Luck !!!.. and let me know if you solve the problem.... Prashant.

I was curious how fast is it. I mount my ZIP disk (a SCSI one) first with vmount as a VFAT filesystem then with FreeBSD as a DOS filesystem. At both times I copied a 8.2M MP3 file to /dev/null. For vmount it took 15 secs, for FreeBSD it took 1minute and 33secs! It means that vmount(/Linux) was SIX times faster than the native FreeBSD!

A couple of things: 1. Do this at your own risk 2. You need Sendmail 8.8.7 (see www.sendmail.org) 3. Backup sendmail.cf (cp /etc/sendmail/cf /etc/sendmail/cf.bak2) (the 2 is included as you may already have a .bak file) 4. create /etc/LocalIP with all your address blocks in there ie /etc/LocalIP 201.15.1 203.24.24.1 {Will allow any host 201.15.1.xxx to relay and also the specific host 203.24.24.1.} 5. create /etc/relayto allowing any remote host that uses you as a relay. 6. append tosend to the endof sendmail.cf (cat tosend >> /etc/sendmail.cf) 7. restart sendmail (sendmail -bd -q30m) 8. Test it out Hope this helps....

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 Is the quota system known to be broken? We've tried using it and to say it's unreliable is an understatement. For example, I have several users who are completely unrestrained by quota, despite being set up identically to others where it does work. All the commands, such as repquota, report they *have* a quota, but they can just keep on writing. On others, I can set quotas all I want, the system won't recognize them. And in other accounts, quota reports usages completely wrong, e.g. Disk quotas for user skunk (uid 1045): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace /usr 127264* 40960 51200 none 325 0 0 /var 2 1024 10240 2 0 0 In reality, this user has over 150 megs in /var and only 35 megs in /usr. Despite being marked as over and no grace left, he can still write in /usr. We're running 2.2.2.

The way round it is to create a compat directory in /usr and symlink it to /compat, and *then* install the packages. With a 31Mb root, this is also a good time to symlink /tmp to /usr/tmp, as I've run out of unpacking space on small root partitions occasionally while unpacking space hungry things like Perl, Emacs et al.

It's called LyX. The software is on the verge of a new release with lots of WYSIWYG features that bring the system closer to it's word processing competitors, while preserving the amazing flexibility of raw LaTeX. There's a public release 10.7 that's almost a year old. Instead, I'd recommend the latest developers beta (the precursor of the 0.12 release, expected in the next 30 days or so), available at: ftp://ftp.via.ecp.fr/pub/lyx/devel/0.11/lyx-0.11.36.tar.gz This is source code, which compiles cleanly without patches under FreeBSD.

Apparently, it crashed his computer and he no longer has a C drive. Please help me assist him in resolving this problem. He is enrolled in Scottsdale Community College and is quite a whiz kid with the computer. Unfortunately, due to time contraints and the pressure of his advanced schooling, he is unable to find a solution to this problem on his own. He has advised me that when he hits the enter key, he gets a response which says "can't find front flash kernel" this is with and without the boot disk. Also, this message comes up at the boot prompt : Freebsd boot @0X10000:639/31744K Please advise if you are familiar with these responses. Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

It seems to be that the Linux compatibility libraries eat up all the space as they are installed to /compat. What I was instructed to do was move the libraries to /usr/compat and write in a symlink, ln -s /usr/compat /compat and that seemed to clear up the problem. I am back down to a reasonable 49%. Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 31775 14418 14815 49% / The things we do for DOOM... However, this might be a good item to document, as I could find the answer written nowhere. Perhaps in the 2.2.2 errata, along with the login.conf problem? And finally, where would one find the 2.2.2 errata? I have the 'Complete FreeBSD' book, looked on the website, and found no such errata.

I'm running 2.2-STABLE so I of course have full source, and I've installed all the basic ports. I'm using about 28% of total capacity on /usr so I have a comfortable buffer. I think Annelise's estimate is pretty close, but I don't feel comfortable without plenty of extra space to grow into. Of course, you could start off with about 1.5 and add more later.

Before X in started (using startx) all shell variables are set, after X is started the individual xterms have no shell variables set. When logging in as myself BASH profile is in both .profile and .bash_profile. Daniel C.

See the discussion in /usr/share/doc/smm/05.fastfs/paper.ascii.gz The design of ffs reduces the kind of fragmentation seen in FAT systems, so the need for a defragger is essentially eliminated. If you really accumulate fragmentation (in the DOS sense), then a dump/restore is in order. I have never found a time when this was necessary (in 6 years of administering Unix boxes using ffs or its derivatives). -- M. L.

Please could you tell me how to get rid of this partion so that I could try again. ( Even fdisk does not recognise it.

Basically, I think it might be me (WHAT AND NOT BE PERFECT?), but I have had help with trying to get this resolved to no avail. I can get all the way to logging into my ISP, back to a "ppp ON mymach>" type of prompt (mymach is not actually the host name I use, just i.e.) but I have not been able to get "PPP ON mymach>" Could it have anything to do with the configuration setup for Hostname, DNS, etc. ? Or is it something else?

One of the things that I'm collecting with the config files is a base .fvwm2rc. I've put one up on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/config/.fvwm2rc.

StarOffice gets quite good marks, not as good as Frame (the winner). Word is disqualified for bugs, but even without them, doesn't get as good marks as StarOffice. IMO, c't is one of the best computer magazines in the world. Their criticism is always well founded. In this case, they showed Word underlining at an angle, and entering page number 9 for all index entries. They also showed cases where a saved document looked different after re-opeining, and reliable ways to crash Word while trying to do something valid.

I don't know whether to recommend this solution as standard. I'm using it myself (sorry, I suppose I should have thought of it earlier, but I did it some time ago, and didn't think about it). I find that my Linux compatibility takes up 13.5 MB. The other alternative is, of course, to recommend a 45 MB root slice. There's nothing so holy about /compat that it *should* be in the root slice, but I don't like gratuituous symlinks either. I'm copying FreeBSD-hackers on this--there's a good chance that they'll have some input. Please follow up to -hackers.

Look at http://www.netbsd.org People are working on an Alpha version of FreeBSD as well. But I don't think you could say that, at the moment, it's more stable than the Linux version. It's not just for the Alpha, it's definitely alpha quality as well.

That's not quite correct: you wouldn't get this message until you commit. To understand this one, I really need the *exact* details. I'd suspect that the partition editor is getting confused. While you're trying, try both with a boot manager and "dangerously dedicated" (in other words, no partition table). One may work.

At a guess, mail.local is trying to deliver an enormous mail message. It uses a file with the name /tmp/local.XXXXXX for this. After it's done, the file is removed again, so you see a lot of space free. There's a good question as to why this copy should be done in /tmp, which is relatively small, rather than in /var/tmp, which should have more space. Certainly you can try this patch: --- pathnames.h 1994/05/27 12:39:19 1.1.1.1 +++ pathnames.h 1997/09/09 01:42:38 @@ -34,4 +34,4 @@ */ #include -#define _PATH_LOCTMP "/tmp/local.XXXXXX" +#define _PATH_LOCTMP "/var/tmp/local.XXXXXX" Do this in /usr/src/libexec/mail.local, then do a 'make install', and let me know if it solves the problem.

Looking at this I would think that the Adaptec 2740 (eisa) is support, but I cannot seem to have the boot kernel properly use it. I get a number of channel resets. I would just as soon blame the card, except for grins I gave bsdi a whirl on the machine.. and it didn't have any problems with the device. Nor did nt (bah). So basicly the question is: is the 2740 supported, or is just the 2742 ? True I could just run bsdi on this machine, except the licence isn't for this machine, and well. The machine is going to be setup to act as a router for a ipng network... It helps to have the src to the kernel, such that i can plug inria's code into it.

This directory is likely to be in your path (which is probably defined in .cshrc if you're using the csh shell), so you call call pkg_add from anywhere; do it as root.

Is it possible that FreeBSD can do something and your people just don't know it? I'm getting ready to install freeBSD on an entirely new, clean disk...

I've tried Linux for a little while but wasn't able to successfully install a completely working system. Always seemed like everytime I tried something, the system was asking for something, something missing I guess. I read the X Window documents and found it difficult to install a working X system. Well, I decided to dump Linux and go with something that seems a bit better, FreeBSD. I have heard much about it. Some say that it's not easy to install. What I need is some opinions and advice on my current system that I'm installing it on. Let me give you a rundown of what I have. Pentium 133 on a Triton motherboard 16 Megs of RAM IDE hardrive IDE Hitachi CDROM 1 3.5" floppy drive Hewlet Packard 560C printer Microsoft Compatible mouse wiht 3 buttons on com 1 28.8 modem on com 2 Mustek scsi scannet (with proprietary scsi interface) Unknown Monitor 1024 x 768 max resolution (uknown frequencies) Diamond 3D 3000 video board PnP Soundblaster 16 Okay, that's about all I have. Now what I wanted to know is how much difficulty would it to be to add support to those devices that I have and nothing more. I want a simple Workstation running X that is ppp capble for internet use. Can anyone give me some ideas or advise. I'm wanting to learn more about networking with BSD and also I want to do some novice programming. A beginner has to start somewhere, right? Thanks for the help!!

I discovered my /usr/ports was 144 megs instead of 40+ because of all the tarballs in /usr/ports/distfiles, "make.out" files, and undeleted work directories. I deleted some port branches (e.g., japanese) that I'm unable to use, but they'll be back the next time I cvsup the ports. My home directory had some 250 megs; I found some of the big useless files with ls -l | sort -k 5, which seems to work most of the time. "You can never be too thin, to rich, or have too much disk space," someone once said. On the other hand hard disk prices have pretty consistently declined over time, so maybe it's reasonable to start with 2 Gb and get a 4 Gb drive later....but I do dread trying to get the stuff from the old drive to the new drive. I have a 220 meg partition on another drive where I have a "fresh" install of 2.2-R. I discovered (with only 24 megs swap) that I can't have both the ports collection and X Windows (and that's with no source at all).

Myself and a co-worker got Oracle running on FreeBSD once. We did'nt do much testing. Just loaded 1 millon records, 5 key fields, sort on a couple of keys, and do a couple of sequential reads across the database. The setup is kinda tricky and a number of the setup and install scripts need to be hacked to fix the differences between SCO and FreeBSD.

Sure, that's the classical reason for putting something in /.

I use the FreeBSD machine to connect to my ISP (its a dialup connection). So far, I have managed to set this small network up so it works somewhat accetably. I am able to telnet from the Win95 machine to the FreeBSD machine, but not the other way around. Also, when telnetting to the FreeBSD machine from the Win95 machine I have to specify the (local network) IP address of the FreeBSD machine, I cannot use the name of the FreeBSD machine.

Here is a copy of my /etc/hosts file from the FreeBSD machine if that will help: 127.0.0.1 localhost jtroy.async.vt.edu 10.0.2.2 jtroy #FreeBSD machine 10.0.2.1 laura #Win95 machine Thanks, Jesse Troy jtroy@goof.com From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 9 05:43:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id FAA06058 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 9 Sep 1997 05:43:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from goof.com (goof.com [128.173.247.211]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id FAA06053 for ; Tue, 9 Sep 1997 05:43:43 -0700 (PDT) From: jtroy@goof.com Received: (qmail 7818 invoked by uid 15009); 9 Sep 1997 12:43:39 -0000 Message-ID: <19970909124339.7817.qmail@goof.com> Subject: Mathematica 3.0 for Linux To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 9 Sep 1997 08:43:39 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] 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 Does anyone know if Mathematica 3.0 is out for Linux and if so, has anyone run it under FreeBSD Linux Emulation?

I have a problem with the jdk1.1 for FreeBSD, I get segmentation violation. The error can not be traced to a specific action, it appears e.g. at some window updates, or as in the example error output attached to this mail, in the rmiregistry when making RMIs. The code is implemented and working on Windows 95, but now we want to use it on FreeBSD. I don't know if you can help me, but perhaps you can look at the output and see if you recognise the problem. The version is "jdk1.1-kwhite:1997/06/09-20:06" I would appreciate your help!

however the kernel always tries to set the root device to sd1, i would like to know how to set the default to sd0 instead of having to type 1:sd(0,a)kernel everytime i have to reboot. also, i spend more time at school then i do at home and would like to know how to login as root from a non-local port. i am not worried about the security risk it might cause. thank you. douglas jacobsen From

When I tried just changing the /etc/fstab file, the machine found the kernel, but paniced because it couldn't mount root. BTW, I did change the drive jumpers too. What am I missing?

I ask this because I'm about to recommend to my company that we start coding PThreads stuff under FreeBSD ... but I need to know more about how stable it is now and what the roadmap is for developing it. Any help gratefully received ... Rich. -- Richard Jones rjones@imcl.com Tel: +44 171 460 6141 Fax: .. 4461 ABLE INmEDIA Ltd. 262a Fulham Rd. London SW10 9EL.

This vulnerability and corrective actions are described in ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_advisories/CA-97.09.imap_pop Because attacks have been occurring since the release of this advisory, we urge you to take immediate action to address this vulnerability. The vulnerability lies in the implementation of this particular IMAP server, not with the protocol. Preliminary data from one current incident indicates that probes were made to thousands of hosts, and approximately 40% of those hosts appear to be vulnerable. In addition to this large incident, we have been receiving numerous reports of root compromises as a result of this vulnerability. If you discover that your site has been probed for this vulnerability, we encourage you to check your systems for signs of compromise using our Intruder Detection Checklist, available at ftp://info.cert.org/pub/tech_tips/intruder_detection_checklist This document will help you methodically check your systems for signs of compromise and offers pointers to other resources and suggestions on how to proceed in the event of a compromise. On one machine where large-scale scans were launched, the intruders installed a Trojan Horse identd server. This Trojan identd allowed intruders to connect to the identd server and obtain root access. If you are running identd, we encourage you to verify the integrity of your identd executable with the distribution. If you discover that you have suffered a root compromise as a result, we encourage you to recover by taking the steps outlined in ftp://info.cert.org/pub/tech_tips/root_compromise This will help you recover from the incident, and offers pointers to other resources that may help you secure your systems against future compromise. If, during the course of your investigation, you discover evidence indicating that other sites are involved, we encourage you to contact those sites directly and to include cert@cert.org on the CC line of any messages you exchange. If you are represented by another incident response team in the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), we encourage you to follow up with that team. More information about FIRST can be found at http://www.first.org/ Due to the large volume of messages we anticipate, we will not be able to respond to each report individually. However, your reports will help us determine the scope of the problem and coordinate activity in response.

If I could do that, then I wouldn't need to dial up twice to cvsup the source and wasting resources and bandwidth. I read the man page for cvsupd and it mentioned about configuration files. Where can I find a sample of the configuration files to start with? Is it possible to get a copy from a working cvsup server? Are there any documents on the theory and workings of "make world", "make release" and staying Stable/Current, etc. in addition to the Handbook and the html tutorial. I am looking for information that would enable me to understand and solve problems during the make world/release. Thanks, Elton ################################################################# UNIX works!

I setted up a second domain name on my server. The DNS is well setted and I don't have problem with it. I made an MX entry on my mail server to allow my server to receive mail on the domain and I added the new domain to sendmail.cw too. When I'm connected to my server by PPP, I tried to send me an email at xenub@newdomain.com . It worked just fine. I went at school (a totally different network) and tried to send me an email at xenub@vetements257.qc.ca . It worked just fine.

I don't see any reason why people shouldn't have the choice. Just one thing: I'm collecting this stuff, I'm not documenting it. I'll accept anything that looks even remotely useful, as long as it's not *very big*. I'm expecting most of these files to be less than 10 kB long, though I'll accept any size as long as it looks useful and there's space on the CD. But: people will use these files only if they can understand them. That means there should be one README file for each contribution. If there isn't, people are not likely to pay much attention to them. >> One size doesn't fit all, of course, and there's a good chance that >> there are other versions out there which many (even most) people will >> prefer.

On the surface, there's no conflict, especially if it's well documented. Directory layout: we have the directory /usr/share/skel/extras. One possibility would be to create a subdirectory of that directory for each collection of config files, along with a description. Another would be to create one subdirectory for each program for which we have config files (like fvwm, bash, emacs, vi, ...). On the whole, I think the second approach is more useful, but it'll take more work (on my part). What do you others think?

This is a personal opinion, but I think it's important: more arm injuries are caused by mice than anything else I know. Microsoft is particularly bad in this respect--ask anybody with CTS what they think about double-clicking. You should get the best mouse you can. Prefer a short, light switch. It *must* have three buttons. Accept no substitutes. They're cheaper than the Microsoft things, so you might be able to sell your mouse, buy a new one, and have money left over.

Just select `A'. He only wants to dedicate 1.2 GB to FreeBSD. 'A' uses the whole disk. I agree with Jörg, of course, but if you're really only giving a fraction, I suppose you should look out for these things: 1. If you're booting from this disk, you should ensure that the *entire* root slice is in the first 504 MB of the disk. 2. Use a 45 MB root partition, 150 MB swap, and the rest in /usr.

It really is asking for names, getting them resolved immediately by the local name server, and apparently not understanding the reply. The annoying thing is that I installed it on another system, and the problem has gone away. It seems to be related to displaying on an X server on a different machine, but it doesn't always fail in that configuration. BTW, the "new" machine is a 486DX/2-66 with 16 MB of memory. StarOffice is very unhappy with so little memory. Even a menu can take up to 15 seconds to appear, and we've had several hangs where StarOffice has taken focus, so you can't do anything on the X screen until you stop StarOffice (from a vty; the X screen is dead). I think it's related to releasing mouse buttons while StarOffice is trying to handle the button press event, but I'm not sure. It didn't happen on a P5/133 with 64 MB. Has anybody else seen anything like this?

It depends. Here is what I recently handled such a problem though. I began installing FreeBSD on a computer equipped with a 3Com 509 ethernet card and a Mitsumi CD-ROM drive. FreeBSD by default put both of them at the hex I/O of 0x300 (don't worry, i'm not 100% sure what that exactly meant either but i don't need to know to be able to fix it). So I had a conflict left over after removing all the unnecessay drivers. What I did was get out my 3Com manual and see what I/O addresses and IRQ ports were supported. To make a long story short(er), I used the software that was provided with my ethernet card (under DOS) to change the I/O address to 0x200 and the IRQ to port 3. Then in the FreeBSD installation, I simply changed the settings while in visual mode to match that. Then I had an IRQ conflict with the second serial device but that was forseen and I only require one serial device currently so I simply removed it. That is one quick method of solving such problem if for some reason they occur. Out of three times installing freebsd, this was the first time i was left with conflicts after removing all drivers that I did not need. > b) Is it best to remove the drivers etc which don't appear relevant? Yes, remove all the drivers that you do not require. If you have an IDE hard drive, remove all the SCSI drivers. If you don't have an ethernet card, remove them all and so on. Do not enable drivers you do not need. > What if I just leave them? Then it will take longer for you to bootup and your kernel will be larger than necessary. Also you will most likely have some conflicts if you leave everything there and this could spell trouble for the devices which you do want to use. Remember you can always go back and enable drivers after you have installed the basics. > c) Do I have to do the systems file thing...my guess is that if I > wish to add modems and routing capabilities and dialout etc I might > have to get all the system files too. I don't quite understand this question but if you are installing from the Walnut Creek CD, you have everything you need. > d) When I have to choose the slices etc...do I just let the defaults > happen? Are they enough given I wish to make this box a router ? That's a tough question for me to answer given that I do not know what the specs of your computer are and exactly what you want to do with it. If you absolutly *must* install FreeBSD now and have no clue as to how to setup slices, use the defaults. Otherwise, try to do some reading on the subject or look for articles or post more to different groups like this. :) From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 9 19:54:35 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA28853 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 9 Sep 1997 19:54:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.ntplx.net (mail.ntplx.net [204.213.176.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA28840 for ; Tue, 9 Sep 1997 19:54:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sea.ntplx.net (khelbin@sea.ntplx.net [204.213.176.11]) by mail.ntplx.net (8.8.7/NETPLEX) with SMTP id WAA07359; Tue, 9 Sep 1997 22:54:27 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost by sea.ntplx.net (4.1/SMI-4.1/NETPLEX-1.0) id AA12216; Tue, 9 Sep 97 22:54:25 EDT Date: Tue, 9 Sep 1997 22:54:24 -0400 (EDT) From: Khelbin Sunvold To: Greg Lehey Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: BSD newbie installer...almost ready In-Reply-To: <19970910095536.34451@lemis.com> 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 On Wed, 10 Sep 1997, Greg Lehey wrote: > > a) If I find a conflict...what do I do..remove the conflicting > > driver/whatever? > > You mean conflicts in UserConfig?

I started recommending sizes like that, but there are plenty of new applications coming out which use lots of swap. I've just added another 200 MB of swap, just to be on the safe side!

Yes, there were problems of that nature. > If so, why leave drivers in that have conflicts when you don't need > them unless you are just lazy? No reason. But I'm lazy too. If you take the time it takes to build a new kernel, which involves you too, it will make up for a lot of slightly longer boot times. And it will take up *much* more space than the few kilobytes of excess drivers. > If you get a new piece of hardware you can just run > /stand/sysinstall... right? or wrong? Sorry, this one's wrong.

I guess I just need it to be a gateway machine so it can dial in to my existing server (my ISP set up for me but they charge too much & I feel powerless in my own network!...hence my FreeBSD investigations) This is supposed to allow the 20 web & mail & irc etc clients to route out through to my main ISP gateway machine. I have a class C block of IP addresses. By the" system file thing" I have read that in order to make major changes to FreeBSD setup e.g. modems etc... I need the system files etc...Is it to do with a kernel re-build (whatever a kernel is...looks a bit like a windows 95 registry?) So I guess I need to know if I need to setup the full system files in the install program. Thanks for your ears again... I very much appreciate your help.

I'm usually using 150 MB swap for 32 MB RAM. The rule of thumb is 2 * RAM, but that's often too few for an X11 workstation. This even though FreeBSD doesn't do `eager swapping'. Of course, if you really only want the X server (i.e., running in Xterminal mode), you don't need much swap. As soon as you're also running X clients, they often need their VM. Netcrap being worst, it eats something like 12 ... 16 MB immediately after starting, and has been observed to grew up to 30 ... 50 MB virtual size easily. Subpartitioning /usr beyond a potential /home or /usr/home partition doesn't make much sense IMHO. The only exception for this would be if you plan to mount parts of /usr `async'. The most useful target for asynchronous metadata updates would be /usr/obj, but only if you're planning to have lots of build cycles running on that machine. There might be further reasons like making it easier to dump(8) some parts of /usr more frequently than others, but on the minus side, there's always a danger that some partition has plenty of space remaining, and you need just this space in another part of /usr hardly right now. My /usr/obj is currently 120 MB. You should really have a separate /var, and use only a small / instead. This leaves your / filesystem untouched mostly (if you make /tmp a symlink to /var/tmp, almost completely). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 9 23:11:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA09445 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 9 Sep 1997 23:11:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.ntplx.net (mail.ntplx.net [204.213.176.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id XAA09440 for ; Tue, 9 Sep 1997 23:11:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sea.ntplx.net (khelbin@sea.ntplx.net [204.213.176.11]) by mail.ntplx.net (8.8.7/NETPLEX) with SMTP id CAA16418; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 02:11:16 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost by sea.ntplx.net (4.1/SMI-4.1/NETPLEX-1.0) id AA12871; Wed, 10 Sep 97 02:11:15 EDT Date: Wed, 10 Sep 1997 02:11:15 -0400 (EDT) From: Khelbin Sunvold To: bsd@smmcroute.smmc.qld.edu.au Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: BSD newbie installer...almost ready In-Reply-To: <199709100224.MAA01108@smmcroute.smmc.qld.edu.au> 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 On Wed, 10 Sep 1997 bsd@smmcroute.smmc.qld.edu.au wrote: > pentium 120 with a unix partition of around 450 Mb > It has a 1.1 Gb IDE + CD 8*(mitsumi) IDE. 2 serial ports and a Kingston 16 bit (NDis2) net card. > 2 FDloppy drives and a SB16 creative compliant sound card. According to something somewhere on freebsd.org (excuse my incredible vagueness. heh) you normally would want a swap partition of between 2 and 4 times the amount of memory you have. UNIX Unleashed (and other literature) often claim that the de facto swap partition should start at twice the amount of RAM and then you tweak from there. You should have a rather large /usr slice and the root slices on the boxes i've played with are generally between 15 - 50Mb. You may also want to have slices for /home, /tmp, and /var. The var slice holds the system log files (so maybe take the size of this into account if you want accounting on), large temp files (in /var/tmp), and spool directories for queueing email and files to be sent to the printer (so if you print real big files make this a little larger too). The rest of the slices aren't very tricky in figuring out what to do with them but even if you do screw it up you can use sym links to make it appear as is you didn't screw up and there shouldn't be a problem. > By the" system file thing" I have read that in order to make major > changes to FreeBSD setup e.g. modems etc...

Well the unix kernel is basically the heart of the OS. It provides many low-level/system-level functions such as scheduling processes and carrying out all input and output. I'm not sure what the win95 registry is. :) You may very well have to re-compile your kernel at some point (and should!) but I don't recall having to do that manually in freebsd 2.2.2 or freebsd 3.0-snap when first installing the OS.. the installation program does it for you. You should be able to use the config command to help you re-compile if necessary and I know that freebsd 2.2.2 and the 3.0-snap both allow you to visually add/remove drivers with the -c flag at the boot: prompt (this is what i meant to say before when i told you /stand/sysinstall.. sorry).

Yikes, forget the term "system file", it'll only confuse you! (and us) If system files were like St Peter at the gates, the kernel would be the Heart of God. You have to rebuild it from its blueprint. Very carefully. Make sure you elect to install the "kernel sources" when installing (or later). Fortunately it's not as hard as it sounds. Study the on line handbook carefully while viewing LINT and GENERIC which it tells you about. Take it slow and steady and it's not so bad do it on rare occasions. I succeeded on my first FreeBSD day, probably why it still scares me :-) Your kernel will be built to work in concert with your hardware, almost meld with it, so radical changes to hardware often require a new (edited and recompiled) kernel. Swapping modems is normally fine because it's the com ports that the operating system owns. Drives, cards, etc are radical changes. There's more to know but I hope this simplistic explanation helps a bit :-) Regards, -*Sue*- From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 9 23:20:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA10082 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 9 Sep 1997 23:20:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from abby.skypoint.net (abby.skypoint.net [199.86.32.252]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id XAA10061 for ; Tue, 9 Sep 1997 23:20:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by abby.skypoint.net (8.8.5/alexis 2.7) with UUCP id BAA06862; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 01:20:18 -0500 (CDT) Received: (from bruce@localhost) by zuhause.mn.org (8.8.7/8.8.5) id BAA00468; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 01:15:54 -0500 (CDT) Date: Wed, 10 Sep 1997 01:15:54 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199709100615.BAA00468@zuhause.mn.org> From: Bruce Albrecht To: Greg Lehey Cc: "Larry S.

I suspect c't was reviewing the Windows version of StarOffice. I was reading StarDivision's news groups, and one thing that came up was that the Linux version of StarWrite doesn't support additonal Type 1 (postscript) fonts out of their basic set very well. Someone came up with a kludgy method that seems to work (among other things, he munged the .afm files because swrite3 doesn't parse them correctly), but there's no official support for it.

UNIX Unleashed (and other > literature) often claim that the de facto swap partition should start at > twice the amount of RAM and then you tweak from there. I suppose that, as long as you tweak a lot, that might make sense. But consider two extremes, taken right now from real life: 1. I run X, StarOffice, Netscape and a whole lot of other memory-hungry applications on my old 486 with 16 MB. Sure, it's slower than hell, especially when changing from one application, but it works. Since there's not much memory, it uses a lot of swap. Here's the view of swap space as it is at the moment: Device 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/sd0s1b 122880 65148 57668 53% Interleaved 2. I run much more stuff on my Pentium with 96 MB of memory. I've got lots of swap space, but what I see is: Device 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/wd0s1b 51200 14416 36720 28% Interleaved /dev/sd0b 66036 14332 51640 22% Interleaved /dev/sd2b 204800 14384 190352 7% Interleaved Total 321844 43132 278712 13% It's not so important that the Pentium is using less swap: it's using .67 of its memory in swap, whereas the 486 is using 4 times its memory. Look at it from a different point, and it makes more sense: swap makes up for the lack of real memory, so the 486 is using a total of 80 MB of memory, and the Pentium is using 140 MB. In other words, there is a tendency to be able to say "the more main memory you have, the less swap you need". If, however, you look at it from the point of view of acceptable performance, you will hear things like "you need at least one-third of your virtual memory in real memory". That makes sense from a performance point of view, assuming all processes are relatively active. And, of course, it's another way of saying "take twice as much swap as real memory". The real problem is that things can go seriously wrong if you have too little swap. That's the reason why I've just added another 200 MB of swap, because I was tired of X running out of memory and crashing with all 40-odd windows. But it's difficult to summarize this with a rule of thumb. I've just looked in a couple of books and found that they haven't any better idea than I do.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.76 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, [apologies if this has come up before; I've only just (re)subscribed.] I've justed finished tracking down swap filling on one of my 2.2-stable production machines to procmail (delivering an only 8M message), then to realloc. A search of the mailing lists turned up John Fieber 's suggestions in June of moving to 3.0-current malloc.c, and that indeed fixed things. Cool! Anyway, what suprises me is that I cvsup with tag=RELENG_2_2, yet saw this fairly major (to me) problem. Is this fix not in 2.2-stable for a reason? Is it there, but am I tracking it wrong? Should I use some another malloc.c? Is just changing malloc.c safe? The malloc.c I had was: * $Id: malloc.c,v 1.18.2.3 1997/07/24 08:25:25 phk Exp $ the one I use now is: * $Id: malloc.c,v 1.32 1997/08/31 05:59:39 phk Exp $ and: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c is a different one alltogether.

Thanx in advance. 1. My Xwindows doesn't seem as colorful as my Windows NT. I selected the right X Server (S3 Virge) during installation. Is it possible that the Xserver is not using the full capability of my graphics card, which can display up to approximately one billion colors. Where can I change the setting for color for X? Is it in .xinitrc? 2. I have a 3.8 Gig harddrive and all of that was in one big partition for my Windows NT before I installed FreeBSD. Then I created a new slice of ~1.6 Gig for FreeBSD partitions (the /, /usr, /tmp, etc). Now I kind of changed my mind and want to have a smaller slice devoted to FreeBSD. But even though I can create a smaller slice for FreeBSD, there will be a third slice left. How do I "add" that third slice to my Win NT's FAT partition? I know that FreeBSD installation comes with an utility to slice up a partition without destroying data, but can it do the reverse - add an empty slice back to a partion? Or do I need a software like Partition Magic to do it? 3. I just installed lesstif. Is lesstif just a Motif-compatible library, or is it also a window manager? If it is a window manager, how do I use it for my X? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Yimin Hsiao 3rd Year Computer Engineering student at University of California, San Diego From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 10 04:31:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id EAA24757 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 04:31:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wired.ctech.ac.za (wired.ctech.ac.za [155.238.4.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id EAA24742 for ; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 04:31:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wired.ctech.ac.za (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by wired.ctech.ac.za (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id NAA24009 for ; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 13:31:37 +0200 (SAT) Message-ID: <34168519.167EB0E7@wired.ctech.ac.za> Date: Wed, 10 Sep 1997 13:31:37 +0200 From: Jacques Hugo X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Supported hardware Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there ...

Anyway, the immediate problem is that I get an error > when I write this. I think it said "ambiguous redirection" > unfortunately I don't have it with me now. Hmm. That construct works exactly as shown, under 'sh' as the shell. If you use csh (or tcsh) it does indeed fail with "Ambiguous output redirect". Check which shell you're using, % echo $SHELL /usr/local/bin/tcsh If it doesn't say "/bin/sh", run sh. The actual redirection works as follows: When a Unix program starts up, 3 file descriptors are opened for it. Each file descriptor has a number. By convention[1], descriptor 0 is STDIN, 1 is STDOUT and 2 is STDERR. When a program reads user input, it (by default) reads from STDIN. When it writes output it writes it to STDOUT, and when it writes errors it sends them to STDERR. This lets you do input/output redirection. For example, when you run % ls > /tmp/ls.out the shell starts 'ls', but starts it with descriptor 1 (STDOUT) redirected to a file instead of the terminal. A similar thing happens if you do % grep foo < /tmp/ls.out (ignoring the fact that you could just specify the filename on grep's command line) except that the shell arranges for descriptor 0 (STDIN) to the file /tmp/ls.out instead of the terminal. STDERR comes into play when programs want to report errors, but they don't want those errors to be mixed in with their regular output. For example, % grep foo non_existant_file > /tmp/grep.out will echo "grep: non_existant_file: No such file or directory" to the terminal. The line will *not* be put in /tmp/grep.out. grep explicitly wrote it's error message to STDERR rather than STDOUT[2]. This is useful, because it allows you to redirect a command's normal output, but get an immediate view of any errors it might produce. Of course, if a command generates lots of errors, they might scroll off the screen and be lost (forgetting about the FreeBSD console's ability to scrollback with the Scroll Lock key for a moment). For a command like "make world" this is a bad thing. The (sh) construct % program_1 2>&1 | program_2 runs 'program_1' and makes a copy of any messages that program sends to STDERR to STDOUT. Messages to STDERR are still sent to the console as normal, they're just copied to STDOUT too. 'program_2' can then read from STDIN and receive all the output from 'program_1', regardless of whether or not it was sent (originally) to STDOUT or STDERR. The construct is saying "Take any output from descriptor 2 (STDERR) and duplicate it in to descriptor 1 (STDOUT)." At least, that's how it works if you use 'sh' as the shell. csh has a smaller, more restrictive syntax that doesn't let you do as many fun things with redirection. However, in this case the construct % program_1 |& program_2 is equivalent. Hope that makes sense. N [1] This may actually be documented in a standard somewhere, but I don't know where. [2] A program must be written to do this. It doesn't happen automatically. Try % ls non_existant_file > /tmp/ls.out No output will be shown on the terminal. /tmp/ls.out will contain the line non_existant_file: No such file or directory.

But for csh and its children (e.g. tcsh) you need to write: make world |& tee ... One other possibility is to use script. Just start script and then do your make world. All output will be written (by default) to a file called typescript. After the make completes, just exit the shell started by script and you can look at typescript to your heart's content.

It's the Code-1 address correction package; ~200k lines of code. Compiles and executes without a hitch, although we do have an SCO box in the corner, just in case we need tech support from the vendor. You may want to get the 2-user demo version of SCO, and install the software on that machine, then copy the installed software over to the FreeBSD box. I had to copy over /usr/lib/lang/, usr/lib/terminfo/, and some of the /dev/ directory as well. (Put the files in /compat/ibcs2, so they don't confuse regular FreeBSD programs). Performance-wise, you're going from 66mhz to 200mhz.

Here's the situation... Ever since I upgraded to 2.2-STABLE, I am unable to mount any CD-ROM's that I have (I tested this by going back to the 2.2.2-RELEASE kernel and the CD-ROM worked great, unfortunately, I need 2.2-STABLE for some other fixes.) I am sure the CD-ROM is working fine and the CD is OK. When I mount the CD, it says: # mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0a /cdrom cd9660: /dev/wcd0a: Input/output error The drive is on the second IDE channel as a SLAVE, without a master (this worked fine before with 2.2.2-RELEASE, has there been a change?). I also double checked my source configuration files as well: controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 options ATAPI options ATAPI_STATIC device wcd0 I also have it set up for the primary controller. This is the same configuration that was in GENERIC for 2.2.2-RELEASE on my system. The drive is detected on boot up too: /kernel: wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): , removable, intr, dma, iordis I've also searched the mailing list archives, and most of the time the error is due to the device not being recognized or a CD not being in the drive, etc. However, none of that applies here. My question is: is there something in 2.2-STABLE that's changed that I would need to make other changes to my OS to make the CD work? I don't subscribe to the freebsd-questions or freebsd-stable mailing lists, so please send a copy of your reponse to me via e-mail.

The only problems I have ever had with apsfilter (of recent vintage, anyway) had to do with interfacing it to Win95 boxes via samba. I use a Deskjet 540 at home with no difficulty (except for losing the last 0.25" of paper on the page). Did the apsfilter set the correct option to be the default printer? You can check this by looking at printcap and determining the correct printer, then using the -P option to lpr to send it via that spool explicitly. What version of ghostscript are you using? 4.0 or later is desirable for the fonts, if for no other reason. Does the deskjet 320 emulate a cdeskjet pretty well?

It is mostly just a library however the port DOES install mwm, the Motif window manager.

Briefly, the installation seems to go off without a hitch; but when I try to boot the newly installed system, I get the message: "No bootable partition". I've been trying to get this thing going off and on for the last two weeks without success. I had the same problem with 2.1 and eventually gave up, thinking that that version's lack of extended partition support might be the cause. My hardware is a component built Pentium 90 with 32 MB of memory, a SCSI adapter, an Ethernet adapter, a Mitsumi CD-ROM, and 2 x 1GB EIDE disk drives. The physical geometry of these drives is 2100 cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 sectors. The BIOS reports the geometry as 525 cylinders, 64 heads, and 63 sectors. Each drive is divided into three primary partitions and an extended partition which is further subdivided into logical partitions reserved for various OSes. I'm trying to install FreeBSD on the 3rd primary partition on drive 0. The basic partition layout has been created with Linux's fdisk. My system currently has Linux, SCO, OS/2, and MSDOS installed and working in the other primary partitions on both drives. I'm using V Communications' System Commander as a boot manager. I do the installation using a floppy boot disk made from boot.flp in the CD-ROM. (All that happens when I try using install from DOS is that the system just reboots and I end up back in the System Commander menu.) Using the boot floppy, I can do all the kernel configuration with no error indications. To set up the FreeBSD partition during installation, I delete the partition I've reserved for it, then manually create a new one. Since I'm using System Commander, I always choose "None" for the MBR choice. I also get thru disk labeling OK, and end up with a root ("/") slice and a swap slice on the primary partition I've reserved for FreeBSD. /usr and /var are mounted under / for now. After that completes, a bunch of files are copied from my CD-ROM - all without error indications - and finally, I'm asked to remove the floppy and reboot. On rebooting, I get to the System Commander menu, and select the FreeBSD option. After doing that, the message "No bootable partition" appears and the system just sits there. Using Linux, I've been able to get to the boot record on my FreeBSD partition and find that it contains the string "No bootable partition". I suspect I've missed some subtle requirement for FreeBSD, but am at a loss as to what it may be. I think it may be a geometry problem, but since OS/2, DOS, Linux, and even SCO boot without problems, I'm reluctant to change anything. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide here.

I am sure the CD-ROM is working fine and the CD is OK. The generic kernel has support for the cd9660 file system compiled into it, but since it's available as a module it's usually left out of locally compiled kernels.

The csh/tcsh redirection that I do is make world >& make.out& (or whatever file you want to send it to). I do make world's without going to single user so the computer will continue to serve web pages etc., and I can (generally) log in remotely. You can see what's happening (the output here will not go to the screen) with the command tail -f make.out which you can exit with Ctrl-C You can also do other stuff, e.g., e-mail, and look at swapinfo and ps (or top) to see overall use etc. It's probably a little slower this way and there may be some processes that are using a little swap or some cpu, guess it depends on what you've got running and how much of the cpu they take.

The dangerous kind of conflict is a conflict between two drivers for hardware that's actually in your system. Keep in mind that you're telling FreeBSD how the hardware is set up; you're not setting up the hardware.

I think you can just leave them. FreeBSD will look for the hardware and not find it. That will be okay.

You don't need the source code to add modems, routing capabilities, etc. You need kernel source to build a new kernel. You might want to build a new kernel to add support for a sound card or to add kernel ppp support.

Do you have the errata/addenda? It's on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata.gz. There are some significant differences there. After looking at that, you can try one of two approaches: 1. Try again, if necessary after taking account of the addenda. If you still have trouble, give a few more details about how you set up the disk. 2. Grab ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/13-disks.ps.gz, print it out, and try the sysinstall approach. Tell me if you have any problems, or even if you succeed. > It's now squawking about > invalid primary partition table > and > floating point exception fdisk /dev/rsd2 > and > pid 7241 (fdisk), uid 0: exited on signal 8 > > and I can't get any other response.

Yes. You tried to install from DOS. Something in your DOS configuration turned the kernel's stomach, and it paniced (with a double fault). Make a boot floppy and boot from that.

Well, it's been nearly 3 years since your message got lost at RMIT, and the Internet has got a whole lot better in that time, so I'd suggest you try again (assuming you're still there). If that doesn't work, buy a CD-ROM.

I have an odd memory conflict I'm trying to resolve. We've been running our news server for some time on dual adaptec 2940 (narrow) controllers. Aside from that, we have an NE2000-compatible ethernet on 0x280,5,0xd80000. We had a 2940UW controller that I wanted to dump in as well, but as soon as there are three controllers on the bus, ed0 complains something about 'unable to zero out memory at d80000', or some such. Presumably this is a conflict between ahc2 and ed0. (actually, I'm sure it is, because with 2 controllers the system works, with 3 , ed0 won't work.) I'm not sure how to resolve this. I don't know where the original drivers are for the ethernet card, so it's unlikely that I can go tweaking around with the configuration, and yet it seems impossible to modify where the adaptec's are placing themselves in terms of the shared memory. Am I just going to have to get another ethernet card? Advice please. Sean T. Lamont, President / Chief NetNerd, Abstract Software, Inc.

My domain is fairly simple and handles mail straightforwardly. The FBSD system is Rigel.orionsys.com and I run a BBS on a machine named bbs.orionsys.com (which responds to orionsys.com as well). The BBS can send and receive email directly, as can the FBSD machine. The BBS's MX records currently look like: orionsys.com. IN MX 10 orionsys.com. IN MX 20 other.host.com. IN MX 30 another.host.com. The problem is that the BBS software is completely fixed and we're getting increasing complaints about spam, so what I'd like to do is to have all email going to the BBS users to be delivered to Rigel (the Unix machine), passed thru anti-spam filters and then forwarded to the BBS. The BBS would still send email directly. To accomplish this, I tried to test the concept with another machine in the domain, named Altair: rigel.orionsys.com. IN MX 10 rigel...orionsys.com. altair.orionsys.com IN MX 10 rigel.orionsys.com. This produced a DSN error with sendmail "MX list for altair loops back to rigel" for mail sent to user@altair.orionsys.com. The examples in the O'Reilly 'DNS and Bind' book don't seem to deal directly with the setup I'm trying to do and the Sendmail book doesn't specifically over this exact error (although I'm assuming it is a looping reference).

That depends on your definition of "UNIX" and "UNIX-compatible". :) FreeBSD is based on the Berkeley BSD distribution and not System V. FreeBSD vs. Linux? That is somewhat subjective, but the main difference in my eye is the distribution system -- FreeBSD has one, Linux has 20 (+/-) distinct distributions and therefore requires 20 support networks. FreeBSD has one distribution, one support network, and we know what system you're on when you say you're on version 2.2.2-RELEASE. Sorry if this was answered before -- I've been off the list for a bit.

Yes, it would. Your DNS records are saying "send all mail to altair by preference to rigel, he'll know what to do with it". But he doesn't, and that's the message. > The examples in the O'Reilly 'DNS and Bind' book don't seem to deal > directly with the setup I'm trying to do and the Sendmail book > doesn't specifically over this exact error (although I'm assuming it > is a looping reference). I find this book rather unhelpful, in fact. > Is this idea doomed, or am I just not seeing the right way to > configure it? You say that bbs (CNAME for orionsys.com) is the BBS system. Why do you want to send mail to altair at all? I would recommend having MXs only for orionsys.com (which I wouldn't associate with an A record). You could then set the MXs to point to rigel, and it could forward to any of the other systems. Note that this won't be complete protection against spammers. They can always go by the IP address. But it'll be a while before they're that sophisticated.

Booteasy probably got installed to the wrong disk. You'll have to install it yourself to the first disk. This is simple; grab bootinst.exe and boot.bin from /tools off the CD or FTP site and run bootinst under DOS.

Is there unallocated partition space on the disk? It has to be one better than just `free space' on your Windows partitions; it needs to be completely unallocated. If you're on FAT you can use FIPS to split out the spare space into a new partition, which you can then delete.

That's pretty complex functionality for lowly PCs :) To be honest, no, there's no specific functionality built into the core system to do this nicely and cleanly. However, doing automatic takeover isn't done nicely and cleanly. You have to define what is meant by `stops communicating', and how to remotely shut down a machine without creating a gigantic security hole in the process. (If you can do this securely, the UPS people want to talk to you.) Mirroring disks is pretty easy to do, the built-in disk striping driver (ccd) does this already. But the rest is pretty tricky. You might consider contacting hackers@freebsd.org and/or searching the mail archives for past discussion on this topic. Good luck!

If you have the Ghostscript package, it includes a `ps2ascii' converter for converting PostScript to ASCII. More correctly, it extracts the ASCII text from the PostScript file and tries to format it; it doesn't do the best job since this is inexact science. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 10 20:09:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA20055 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 20:09:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kyoko.mpx.com.au (new-kyoko.mpx.com.au [203.2.75.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA20038 for ; Wed, 10 Sep 1997 20:09:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from homer(really [203.17.137.95]) by kyoko.mpx.com.au via smtpd with smtp id for ; Thu, 11 Sep 97 13:09:47 +1000 (/\##/\ Smail3.1.30.13.SOL #30.20 built 28-jun-97) Message-Id: Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Taras M.

I've found various discussions on this topic, including talk of patches and upgrades to bios, etc, but still can't find the definitive answer. I have 2 machines, m1 is my personal workstation, and m2 runs a web server for a customer, and both run 2.2.2-RELEASE. m1 has an AHA-2940U (bios 1.23), 64Mb RAM, 2 * IBM DORS 32160, other bits and pieces, 1 external Jaz. m1 works exceptionally well. m2 has an AHA-2940UW (bios v1.25), 128Mb RAM, 2 * Quantum Fireball ST6.4S (scsi #1 is broken at the moment), 1 internal Jaz. m2 doesn't work at all well. It usually hangs after issuing the messages similar to those below to the console. However on this occassion it was during a boot. It may run for 1 hour, it may run for 1 day, but usually no more. Mind you, m2 was working OK before I put the Jaz drive on. So it could be the termination. Its the last on the chain and I'm using the terminator that Iomega shipped. I can 'soak' the jaz drive by writing/reading large tar files to/from it, and it doesn't break. Walk away and sometime later its frozen. Can someone help me out on this, is it the 2940 bios, the aic7xxx driver, SCSI termination, or something completely different ? I'm quite happy to provide whatever information anyone requires.

The master on an IDE interface performs work both for itself and on behalf of the slave (if you ask me, the terminology's the wrong way round). I can't believe that a slave can work without a master.

Then your CD-ROM disk may be dirty or scratched. Try cleaning it. You can also try booting from floppy, though this isn't likely to change much.

Explain "build" Have you compiled your own kernel, or just configured it with the visual configuration tool at installation? If the latter, just give the option -C when booting, then you get into the same configuration tool as when you installed. If you have build your own kernel, then just alter the configfile /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ and re-build. But then, if you had built your own kernel, then I guess you would know that allready...

The boot floppy boots up to the Boot: brompt OK, but then after about 5 seconds it takes off running and just generates a long stream of repeating device errors of some sort. Needless to say, I am not pleased. I'm trying to do this whole install without the benefit of any of that crud from Redmond in touching my system, but so far I seem to be failing pretty badly. So please gimme the clue I need to get rolling. Obviously, the boot prompt wants me to type in some special incantation which will cause the rest of the boot process to proceed to suck a kernel off of the CD-ROM (and yes... I _do_ have that loaded into the drive) but I have no idea what the exact response is that I need to give to the boot prompt to make this happen. The README.TXT files seemed to suggest that the code on the boot floppy would automatically detect my CD-ROM drive, but it doesn't seem to be happening. My hardware is as follows: P100 ASUS Motherboard (good quality) ASUS SC-200 SCSI controller (NCR based) 1 ancient Toshiba 3401 SCSI CD-ROM drive (2x) 1 equally anciant Quantum 540MB SCSI drive (Maverick 540S) NOTE: The hard disk is set to SCSI Device ID #0 and the SCSI CD-ROM is set to SCSI Device ID #4. I don't believe that this hardware supports booting direct from the CD-ROM, so I _do_ believe that I probably need to start from the boot floppy, BUT THEN WHAT? The hard drive in question was previously in use on a Sparcstation and has Sparc/SunOS on it. It probably doesn't even have the usual DOS/Windows 4 partition map in the boot block so I have to start from scratch as far as this drive is concerned. Please tell me that you are NOT going to force me to format this drive under (yeccch) DOS and then load FreeBSD into that just to get FreeBSD installed!!! I believe that there's just GOT to be another way to skin this cat. Just please tell me how.

A have a serious problem with Cyclom-16YeP under FreeBSD 2.2.2. When I reconfigure kernel, OS detected card without any problem. After that, I'm setup one port for accepting dial-in calls. (Port ttyc00 locked at 57600). When user connected to my server and begin transfer data from him to server, I'm observing "silo overflow" error messages. Its my first problem. Second problem, and most serious: server with Cyclom card reboot at random time without any visible reason. I can't continue my work, while this problems still exist. How I can solve it? My hardware: Pentium-133 (motherboard with Intel 430FX chipset), 32M RAM, 2G FastSCSI HDD (IBM DORS series), NCR-810 based SCSI adapter, PCI video card, and, of course, Cyclom-16YeP multiport card. IRQ reported by FreeBSD: Cyclom card: IRQ 10, SCSI adapter: IRQ 11, VGA PCI card: IRQ 12. Other devices: NE2000-compatible card at IRQ 5, port 0x300. FDD controller at IRQ 6 (DRQ 2) at ISA bus. Intergrated on-board IDE controller and serial ports are disabled. My old multiport ARNET-compatible board working without any problem at this platform. So, I'm sure, that my hardware is Ok. Test programs (from Cyclom-Y package) says that board is Ok.

It will give you a full-screen menu which should be pretty unambiguous. You don't seem to be getting that far. I think you have a defective floppy, but without the message it's difficult to say. > Please tell me that you are NOT going to force me to format this drive > under (yeccch) DOS and then load FreeBSD into that just to get FreeBSD > installed!!!

If it's telling you that it can't your floppy, throw it away and start again. Booting FreeBSD is pretty much like booting SunOS 3 or 4. You should see familiar-looking device probes and all that good stuff. It looks as if you're not getting that far.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.76e Organization: interactive investor Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk How do, I'm pondering how to install FreeBSD on (what will be) my new computer. It will have no access to a network, and I don't particularly like the thought of downloading the bindist at modem speeds. I have access to another system at a geographically remote location (specifically, the office) on which I can download the bindist. I was considering taking a ZIP disk, putting a file system on it and laying out the bindist on top of that. Since the ZIP drive on my target machine will be SCSI, I assume sysinstall will spot it and let me use it as a normal drive. During installation I can then select the "install from another filesystem" option, and have it suck the bindist from the ZIP drive. As far as I can tell, this will work. But I'd appreciate confirmation before I try it. So, if there's anyone who's done this before around, could they let me know: a) If the boot floppy will recognise a SCSI ZIP drive (I can't think of any reason why not) b) Assuming I mount the ZIP drive under /mnt, how the files should be layed out under that. I *think* that /mnt/2.2.2-RELEASE/bin/* will be right. If I get this working I'll write up a tutorial on the subject, and also try and use my new resources to build a boot floppy with the necessary bits in it to let the parallel port ZIP drive work as well. I imagine this will be handy for some people.

I had it on master, MS-DOS was happy, 2.1.5-release was too. Come 2.2.2-release, MS-DOS is still happy, but FreeBSD tells me it's not there. (Me: "it is!" FreeBSD: "No it's not" Me: "yes, look, just above the floppy drive" FreeBSD (determined): "well, I don't know what you have above your floppy drive, but it's not an ATAPI drive") Now I have it on slave, without a master, and MS-DOS is still happy, and FreeBSD tells me it's there, after taking about 20 seconds to probe for it. (And me shouting at the computer: "It's there! Primary controller, on slave mode, just look there will-ya!", FreeBSD seems to need the shouting) During my struggle, I played with that little `CS' jumper too. I don't know off the top of my head how I set it eventually, but it made a big difference for FreeBSD, and a small difference for MS-DOS.

I have 8 Quantum Viking 4G drives on both DPT and Adaptec controllers and haven't had any problems. Though I've seen lots of people talk about the problems they've had with Quantum drives in the past -- so much so that multiple people have said they would never buy Quantum drives again. The problems seem to have been with the Atlas drives, but I have some of these as well and haven't had any problems. The Atlas are fast/wide not ultra-wide. The Viking drives are smaller (LP) and they are quiet and cool compared to the Atlas drives. The Atlas drives get real hot so they need better air flow to keep them cool. I've also heard people say the Fireball's had real problems - but those are the slower ATA drives designed more for PC desktop use. Segate drives seem to be the most popular in general but I haven't had any experience with them recently. They too are known for running hot. Make sure they are well ventilated. I've not seen a Segate 4G drive for under $800 but I was able to get the Viking drives for something like $645 at www.isn.com.

Mail also has to be received for Rigel itself (this system) and it, in turn, has no way of redirecting email by recipient - it has no way of knowing who is a valid user on the other systems, is would simply (?) be forwarding all mail sent to either orionsys.com or bbs.orionsys.com to the BBS machine, any mail sent to rigel.orionsys.com would be delivered locally. > Note that this won't be complete protection against spammers.

The initial protection that was installed was to keep the BBS from forwarding - we were recently attacked and used to forward spam to AOL.

There are three different Atlas drives: Atlas I, Atlas II, and Atlas III. I know that the Atlas III (all that is available these days, as Atlas I & II have been discontinued) are available in wide variety of media types, including ultra-wide. The worse Quantum drive is probably the Grand Prix, which is no longer made. > I've also heard people say the Fireball's had real problems > - but those are the slower ATA drives designed more for PC > desktop use.

It all seems so obvious now... Perhaps I should have taken a look at /etc/* _prior_ to 'make'. I actually have one question about finishing my 'make world' now that it's been interrupted : what would be the proper way to proceed? Since it seemed to be fine up until the install phase can I just make the correction and 'make install' or is there more to it?

Seconded. Those disks with the Adaptec UW controllers really scream, and they're reliable.

But the rest is pretty tricky. But in this case you'd really want to be mirroring the disks across servers, not within the same server. ccd can't do that. I believe that 'clustering' is going to become a more important topic in the near future.

Guilmette" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings again folks. I'm new to FreeBSD, so please go easy on me. I definitely am a novice at FreeBSD configuration & installation and this explains (at least in part) why I screwed it up the first time around. Anyway, late last night, after getting past a minor problem with a bad boot floppy, I got the whole FreeBSD 2.2.2 system (from the Walnut Creek CD ROM) nicely custom configured and installed on my hard disk. Now there is only one fly in the ointment. During the hardware configuration part of the install, I screwed up and failed to adjust the I/O address for my Ethernet card (a simple NE2000 compatible). I _did_ properly set the IRQ for the card, but sadly, I left the base I/O address set to 0x280 for FreeBSD, and the card itself is actually set to address 0x300. So can somebody please tell me how to fix the base I/O address for the card in FreeBSD? I imagine this must be simple to do, but I haven't a clue as to how to do it. I tried re-entering the menu-based install stuff, but I couldn't manage to navigate to anywhere that looked like it was going to allow me to change this.

At the system boot prompt (when it pauses for a few seconds before the twirling bar starts) enter -c This will start the kernel hardware configuration utility. You can either stick with the command line mode, or then type "visual" to enter the more GUI oriented editor. Use this to change the base address in the kernel to match reality. You have two options (assuming you don't use the visual editor). port 0x300 device_name where device_name is the name of your ethernet device, probably "ed0" or similar, which will explicity set the address to 0x300. Or you can try (and this used to work in earlier versions of FreeBSD, I have no idea if it works now) port -1 device_name which should try and read the value from the card, and use that. You can then continue booting. As part of the boot process, this changed value will be written into the kernel, so you won't need to do this the next time you boot the machine. And when you build yourself a custom kernel (see the instructions in the handbook for how to do this) you can correct your original mistake for good.

I had gone through all the trouble to download ispell, and make completely ignored me and took it straight from the cdrom (how rude :) In one word: Wow! I do have a small suggestion (I haven't tried this, so it may already exist). I noticed that make uses a `work' directory to compile in. How about making it so that if make finds the file system read-only and is unable to create a work directory, it defaults to (for example) `/tmp/.work'. That way, the casual ports user can do mount /cdrom cd /cdrom/ports/textproc/ispell make british install ... cd umount /cdrom No need to place a rather chunky ports distribution on your system.

I sometimes run into what I believe are resource shortages which manifest themselves as 'Cannot fork' error messages from various programs at various times. qmail, some perl scripts, and a few other programs do this. In the past I have haphazardly increased the size of various kernal structures via the 'MAXUSERS' option in the kernel config. Things running as root do not seem to manifest this behavior and root in login.conf is mostly set to unlimited for resources. The programs which experience the 'Cannot fork' behavior are generally running as non-root, so at times I've increased the limits in the login.conf for those users, which seems to alleviate the problems. However, my changes feel alot like guesses. Is there a more well defined way to identify resource shortages? Or shall I continuing using the Force? 8-) The shortages occur in qmail when processing large mailing lists, and in the httpd server when running alot of cgi-bin perl scripts. If the solution is to manipulate login.conf, what are good upper limits for uids I want to have maximal use of resources, but not break things?

Guilmette" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Thanks to all who responded to my plea for help regarding my ethernet card configuration woes. The answers were certainly enlightening and will be helpful to me in the future I'm sure. I'm a bit ashamed to say this (because of all of the good and helpful responses I got) but... well... you know how it is. When you are just getting started with a new OS, and you are not yet sure what to expect as far as help from the net is concerned, if you are in a hurry (as I am) you kinda tend to send out questions, and then hope for some responses, but in parallel, you try your best to struggle along even in lieu of any outside help (which may perhaps not be forthcoming). So that's what I did. Bozo that I am, it didn't occur to me until _after_ I sent out my earlier query that maybe the simple solution to my problem was just to change the card address to match the OS address, rather than vise versa (DUH!) Of course this entailed having to rummage around and try to find the *&^%# configuration disk for the ethernet card, and then (also) booting up DOS (yecch) from floppy again, and then diddling the card addess in the DOS-based card configuration setup program, and then praying... but it did work. But I don't want any of you to think that your helpful hints have been wasted on me. I appreciate them all and I sure as heck know about the -c boot option now! :-) So anyway, I _do_ want to thank everybody who wrote me back. Thanks a lot. I also wanted to say how impressed I am at the _level_ of help that seems to be available for this OS. I mean really. I posted a kinda dumb question to , and within an hour I get back no less than _8_ helpful responses, not a single one of which is either condescending, or insulting, or flaming in the slightest. I can only conclude that you folks must really still be in the mode where you are trying to sign up converts to your OS, and that you are doing a good job of it. I mean heck! Bill Gates CHARGES MONEY for support that isn't 1/10th as good as this! In short, I am impressed. (Now if you could just make it impossible for boneheads like me to screw up their ethernet card configurations, I'd be _really_ impressed. :-) P.S. I have the network connection out of this box up and limping now, but I still have a bit of configuration work to do. (At least I can ping it!) After getting the I/O address or the card fixed, I ran into some more minor snags, but I'm managing so far to sort those out for myself. I don't know how, but somehow I managed to end up with support for the `lp0' (parallel port IP) device configured but no support for the `ed0' device... a situation which I managed to remedy by manually editing /etc/rc.conf... although I'm still getting `lp0' ifconfig'd for some reason. Is it a well-known problem that in the 2.2.2 release, the comments that end up in the /etc/rc.conf file are all screwed up? I've manually edited down a bunch of them so they look normal, but I guess that I really ought to just sed them all to fix them all in one go. -- Ron Guilmette, Roseville, California ---------- E-Scrub Technologies, Inc. -- Deadbolt(tm) Personal E-Mail Filter demo: http://www.e-scrub.com/deadbolt/ -- Wpoison (web harvester poisoning) demo: http://monkeys.com/cgi-bin/wpoison From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 11 13:56:28 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id NAA17107 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Sep 1997 13:56:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from roguetrader.com (brandon@cold.org [206.81.134.103]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id NAA17102; Thu, 11 Sep 1997 13:56:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (brandon@localhost) by roguetrader.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA13702; Thu, 11 Sep 1997 14:56:46 -0600 (MDT) Date: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 14:56:46 -0600 (MDT) From: Brandon Gillespie To: Greg Stringfellow cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: BIND Question In-Reply-To: <199709112014.PAA09359@smokey.prismnet.com> 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 On Thu, 11 Sep 1997, Greg Stringfellow wrote: > Here is an interesting question, or at least to me right now. > > I've got a customer who is trying to send mail to a particular location.

I think that's one of the more convoluted descritions I've heard. ;-) ASP stands for Active Server Pages (pretty soon they're going to change the name of Microsoft to "Active Software"). Basically, the core technology of ASP is server-side scripting. You can imbed scripts for any interpreter that has full IActiveScript interface support. This currently includes the VBScript and JavaScript (a. k. a. LiveScript) engines. Supposedly there's also a version of Perl out there that will work in this context. The scripts are interpreted and run on the server when the page that contains them is hit, generating HTML, as necessary, and are capable of invoking and activating standard COM objects on the server. IIS keeps track of session and application scope. It provides objects that give access to the session and application scope. It's actually very cool stuff. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.

I use floppies to install FBSD, X86Free, emacs, tex, latex, octave ... FBSD (2.1.5, 2.2.1 & 2.2.2) appears to have problems with about 10% of floppy disks. I have tried different hardware for both reading and writing. The problem only happens with disks with all tracks loaded. The disks have been formatted using FBSD, WIN95 or WINNT. I generally stick to verbatim. There have been no problems with the boot disk ever. After reading about the various problems people have had over the years I follow the following procedure to create a boot floppy. 1. Use the WINNT box and use WS-FTP to download the image with binary mode set. 2. Format a floppy and check it for errors on the WINNT box. If any track errors are found, I throw the floppy away. 3. Use rawrite2.exe (from ftp.debian.org) to copy the image onto the floppy. There is no issue with using NT to create the boot floppy. I use rawrite2 as it is fast and reliable. There is no problems if NT is running a lot of other application while rawrite2 is doing its stuff. Yes I have a big box of disks, but it all works. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Lehey To: rfg@monkeys.com Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Thursday, 11 September 1997 19:51 Subject: Re: Bummer...

Yes it does, if you want rigel to send mail to altair it has to be this way. (you could turn DNS off on rigel and play lots of games to avoid the MX to altair but it would be painful). Just don't allow out going mail to include "altair" in the address. Make sure all outgoing mail shows as coming from user@orionsys.com and that Reply-To: is set the same. Bounces and such will go directly to altair, but they're supposed to anyway. Normal mail will go through rigel. > If I make it: > > orionsys.com. IN MX 10 rigel.orionsys.com. > rigel.orionsys.com.

Right, sendmail does an MX lookup and sees that it is the best MX for the mail but altair isn't in its Cw and mail to altair is not shunted off to a different host (sending it to altair doesn't count) so it complains. Giving altair its own MX resolves this.

Normal mail will go through rigel. It looks like I'm hosed then, host altair is just for testing. The REAL desired operation is: mail to orionsys.com -> rigel -> bbs.orionsys.com mail to bbs.orionsys.com -> rigel -> bbs.orionsys.com mail to rigel.orionsys.com -> rigel mail to altair.orionsys.com -> rigel -> altair...

If I clear the autoanswer mode, and try to use the new 'ic' and 'ac' capabilities of getty, the only result I get is a couple of syslog entries like 'modem init problem on /dev/ttyd1' and 'modem answer problem on /dev/ttyd1' (the latter only if I disable 'ic', otherwise it simply loops the first message every 'tc' seconds) There must be something wrong in my setup. Is it correct to use getty on a ttydX when it opens the port in non-blocking mode (like when you specify 'ac', as documented in man getty). Or should I use cuaaX ? Is there someone else using those capabilities? Thanks for any help.

One aspect of host name syntax is hereby changed: the restriction on the first character is relaxed to allow either a letter or a digit. Host software MUST support this more liberal syntax. rfc952. "DOD INTERNET HOST TABLE SPECIFICATION" oct '85 not listed in std-index.txt but referenced by rfc1123 which is listed in std-index.txt rfc952: 1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus sign (-), and period (.). Note that periods are only allowed when they serve to delimit components of "domain style names". (See RFC-921, "Domain Name System Implementation Schedule", for background). No blank or space characters are permitted as part of a name. No distinction is made between upper and lower case. The first character must be an alpha character. The last character must not be a minus sign or period. A host which serves as a GATEWAY should have "-GATEWAY" or "-GW" as part of its name. Hosts which do not serve as Internet gateways should not use "-GATEWAY" and "-GW" as part of their names. A host which is a TAC should have "-TAC" as the last part of its host name, if it is a DoD host. Single character names or nicknames are not allowed. jmb From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 11 17:30:25 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA11983 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Sep 1997 17:30:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sbmp64.ess.sunysb.edu (yegor@sbmp64.ess.sunysb.edu [129.49.29.64]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA11971 for ; Thu, 11 Sep 1997 17:30:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (yegor@localhost) by sbmp64.ess.sunysb.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id UAA00243 for ; Thu, 11 Sep 1997 20:30:16 -0400 Date: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 20:30:15 -0400 (EDT) From: Yegor Sinelnikov To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Computer hangs after freebsd reboot 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 list members, We have just installed FreeBSD version 2.2.2 on a 486DX Cyrix machine with 2.5 Gb disk. FreeBSD became a third OS in addition to previously installed Windows NT 4.0 and DOS 6.0. The instalation of FreeBSD was successfull. It works fine. But when we reboot the computer from FreeBSD it hangs. It does not even go to the CMOS hardware test and no single message is visible on the screen. To make it work after FreeBSD we have to unplag the hard drive each time, which makes the reboot process rather complicated operation. With unplaged hard drive computer starts to boot, and by shutting it down again after the memory test and pluging hard disk we return to the noraml operational state. However, once booted to FreeBSD, starts all troubles again. What could be the suggestions? We did: compiled customized cernel with no extra drivers set disk geometry in CMOS to user defined disabled all cashing in CMOS Is it critical that FreeBSD is installed in the last partition, below 1Gb?

No -- you don't want to mirror between servers. Put _two_ differential controllers in both machines and _two_ external SCSI towers cabeled between the two machines. Mirror disks on one controller to the disks on the other controller. The takeover is reasonably complicated -- managing machine and process state as well as outstanding locks and terminal sessions is non-trivial in an exclusive takeover situation. Concurrent access to shared disks, which you would need for load balancing is even worse. I think this is way beyond the scope of reasonable expectations for a volunteer effort. While many have the skills -- and maybe the desire -- groceries are more important. Commercial software that does this goes for $10-30K. Maybe you could hone your skills (and future income) and implement this for us? -- Jay > > I believe that 'clustering' is going to become a more important topic in > the near future.

Now I can understand a lot of that: floppies must be the most unreliable data storage medium I can think of, not to mention the most expensive per byte. But I'm getting the feeling that there is more to it than that, that possibly there's a bug in the floppy driver and that we're blaming it on the inherent unreliability of the medium. I'm looking for indications which would point towards the driver. One of these might be: 1. Floppy formatted under on the same machine. 2. FreeBSD runs into hardware problems with the floppy (typically things like checksum errors). 3. can read the entire floppy with no trouble. If you can give me hard evidence of such occurrences, I'd like to hear from you. I know that plenty of people can tell me that they've had occurrences of (2), maybe in conjunction with (1), but unless you can prove (3) as well, I don't want to hear from you. In addition, if you have any other evidence I haven't thought of which would also point to an error in the floppy driver, please contact me.

As a result, my root filesysterm got overwritten, and some other bad things happened. Thus, I'm reinstalling. Here's the problem; I downloaded the install floppy for 2.2.2-RELEASE, and I intend to install through PPP. I go through all the install crap, dial into my ISP, login, etc., then start the install. It bets about 140-200k (varies) into the install of the bin dist, and then the connection craps out. Is this a standing bug, or what? It's also possible that I have an old 2.2.2 floppy, in which case this may all be moot, but I want to get this system back up ASAP; Win95 just sucks.

You just need to do a little more work. In the sendmail rules, add another between the first two R$+ < @ orionsys.com . > $#esmtp $@ bbs.orionsys.com $: $1 < @ bbs.orionsys.com . > and a third rule R$+ < @ altair.orionsys.com . > $#esmtp $@ altair.orionsys.com $: $1 < @ altair.orionsys.com . > What was originally the second rule is now the fourth and is a catch all that will send non rigel/altair stuff to bbs. The rule that follows (with $* orinsys.com on the LHS) will never be executed if the one for bbs is true. So that any mail for bbs that happens to arrive at rigel (I forget whether you had an existing secondary MX pointing at rigel) will get sent to bbs during testing. Then you can use sendmail -bt to assure you that mail addressed to user@orionsys.com will indeed be forwarded to bbs. Once satisfied that it works restart sendmail. You won't be able to test that mail addressed to user@orionsys.com goes to rigel and is handed off to bbs cause the DNS does not *yet* allow that. But you can verify that user@altair.orionsys.com does indeed go to rigel where it is scrubbed up and then handed to altair. When you are satisfied that it works you can make the DNS changes to the domain entry so that it's MX points at rigel. Done. You could also delete the second rule (the one testing for a bare orionsys.com) if you want to clean the .cf up a little.

This is a wart in DNS. Since the '@' sign has a different significance to named, it is replaced by a '.' in the SOA record. To send mail, replace the first '.' with a '@': HPISD_ADMIN@HIGHLANDPARK.K12.TX.US That's the theory. The practice looks somewhat different. To start with, they have an A record with this name, which is incorrect and unnecessary. They also don't have reverse delegation working: > HPISD_ADMIN.HIGHLANDPARK.K12.TX.US Server: freebie.lemis.com Address: 0.0.0.0 Name: HPISD_ADMIN.HIGHLANDPARK.K12.TX.US Address: 206.50.19.5 > 206.50.19.5 Server: freebie.lemis.com Address: 0.0.0.0 *** freebie.lemis.com can't find 206.50.19.5: Non-existent host/domain Looking at their zone information gives the real picture: ; BIND version named 4.9.6-REL Wed Aug 27 12:54:15 CST 1997 ; BIND version grog@freebie.lemis.com:/usr/obj/src/FREEBIE/libexec/named-xfer ; zone 'HIGHLANDPARK.K12.TX.US' last serial 0 ; from 206.50.19.2 at Fri Sep 12 10:54:11 1997 $ORIGIN K12.TX.US.

I use the SVGA server with a STB Velocity 3D (S3 Virge/VX - 4 Mo Ram). The first time i launch "startx", everything is fine. XFree has no problem at all. But, if i quit and restart "startx", i get a black screen and all i can do is to reboot the computer with the reset button !! Does somebody have any clue to solve this problem ? Could it be a configuration problem during the compilation of XFree ? Or a SVGA server bug ? Thanks you.

Another possibility is ATI's new PC2TV video cards (the 3D Xpression+ and 3D Pro Turbo). They have a built-in scan converter, and the Xpression model is less than $200. However, I don't know if the ATI cards can output to TV while not in Windows. --Ludwig Pummer ------------------------------------------------------------------ ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org PGP Key & Geek Code available on web page ^-- Updated 07/01/97 From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 11 19:31:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA21608 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Sep 1997 19:31:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from awfulhak.demon.co.uk (awfulhak.demon.co.uk [158.152.17.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA21598 for ; Thu, 11 Sep 1997 19:31:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gate.lan.awfulhak.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by awfulhak.demon.co.uk (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id DAA14618; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 03:12:25 +0100 (BST) Message-Id: <199709120212.DAA14618@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0zeta 7/24/97 To: Richard Bernard cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ppp & tip connections In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 11 Sep 1997 17:11:27 +1000."

OKay, at this point use DOS FDISK and delete the second Primary DOS partition. I assume one partition has all your stuff on it and the other is completely blank (that's how it's supposed to be at least :-) ). Now go ahead and install FreeBSD. In the FDISK Editor, you'll see some space that is marked `unused' and is fairly large. Select this partition and hit `C' and create a FreeBSD slice that size. Answer `yes' to the question to make it in compatibility mode, then Quit FDISK. In the Disklabel editor, hit `A' to take the calculated defaults, then Quit. >From there it should be fairly straightforward.

Do you know if System Commander can overcome the 500mb limitation? Most BIOSes can't boot any OSs beyond the 500mb limit. You might try starting the boot floppy and specify `wd(0,a)/kernel' to the Boot: prompt and see if you can get FreeBSD to boot.

You'll have to make one of your partitions go away. FreeBSD uses it's own filesystem type.

The IDE CDROM support isn't wonderful in FreeBSD, you might have some trouble getting it probed. Try moving it over to the slave position on your primary IDE controller then. 2. PnP devices aren't well supported, but work is in progress for getting the Plug&Pray SB16 working. I think it actually does work, but some fine tuning is going on.

Look at your ASCII table, look at your keyboard, and see if one matches. ASCII 210 is in the extended set and won't have an equivalent keyboard mapping unless some program redefines them.

Generally, if your mail is unreachable for 6 hours or so, an automated scripts removes you from the FreeBSD mailing lists. You might ask your ISP if you're having mail trouble. In the meantime, the majordomo command 'which' tells you which lists you're currently subscribed to. This may be helpful to see if you've been dumped from a list.

NE2000's do really use IOMEM anyway, so you could set it to 0x0 even and it might actually work. What brand & model? I have setup progs for popular NE2000s and might be able to supply one.

Having to be able to go to, say, /cdrom/ports/editors/emacs and simply say "make install clean" is nice. However, simply redefining WRKDIR doesn't really work because there are so many ports right now that creates files (most notably, pkg/PLIST) in places other than that. I am also thinking about a mechanism to automatically "filter" them in WRKDIR so the user can sed it all he wants.

I very consistently get floppy errors w/ FreeBSD, on systems that I know for certain have good drives, FDCs, and good media. Whenever I need to install XInside products, like Motif or AcceleratedX, I always need to untar the floppies on a Linux box and nfs export them. The confusing thing to me is that floppy support works fine during installation. I just gave up on using them on an active system. We have so much networking junk laying around that I never need floppies, or else I would be highly annoyed. > I'm looking for indications which would point towards the driver.

It is like the media/host tranfers are out of sync with the host/controller transfers.

Case in point: the XInside. The medium is pristine, as is shown by Linux's ability to untar the floppy no problem. The machine itself is fine because DOS reads floppies fine, and sysinstall was fine. > In addition, if you have any other evidence I haven't thought of which > would also point to an error in the floppy driver, please contact me. I certainly think BIOS negotiation needs to be investigated. We use several different types of motherboards from different manufacturers, but they all have the Award BIOS in common. I had a NetBSD client who had fits with Award-based boards, but had no problem at all w/ AMI or Phoenix BIOSes. I know Award is not broken, but it may be _different_ than the BIOS that was used to test the relaibility of floppies under FreeBSD. I am happy to give more specifics if you tell me what you need.

While the router starts and reads routes from a Cisco router (IOS 9.21(17), AGS+), it does not add routes to the Ciscos route table. I hope to use FreeBSD as an alternative to a $5k (Aust) Cisco 25xx for choke and screening routers and while the screen won't need OSPF the internal (choke) may. (Routed is a less flexible alternative - I don't know how to inject RIP metrics to the OSPF process so I must run RIP on the Cisco & this negates the advantage of OSPF - avoiding broadcasting router tables) Some details: . The Cisco does not use OSPF security. . Both routers are in the same area (0.0.0.0) . The Cisco sends "hellos" with the default intervals - and I haven't set an interval to gated . Both routers share an ethernet Thank you very much.

In-Reply-To: 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 Come to think of it... Just a few days ago I made a floppy image from a freshly formatted MS-DOS floppy ("dd if/dev/fd0.1440 of=msdos.flop") Then, when I tried to dump it over an old FreeBSD boot floppy, it just died on me halfway. I'll root through the bin at home, to find it again, but it might be stuck under a teabag or something. I'll play with this again, see if I can reproduce it. I think it may have something to do with long files. I wrote my own bsplit at some point, which made files nearly as large as a floppy, but I kept having trouble with damaged floppies. Now I've changed bsplit to make smaller chunks, and I have no trouble anymore %-) Wild guess: driver needs to recalibrate every once in a while, so if you write a whole floppy at once, it slowly loses calibration. MS-DOS `recalibrates' by writing the FAT every block or so. How does that sound?

I'm successfully using a patched version of 3.3 on a 9FX Reality ViRGE/VX with the XF86_S3V server. The No Second Restart problem with the XF86_SVGA server may have been fixed with the 3.3.1 version XFree86. The servers authors were aware of the problem. According to the README.S3V docs, and from some of the servers authors, either server will work with the ViRGE chipsets. You may also find that drawing arcs with a line width of 1 in XFIG won't stay on the screen. This too may have been fixed with version 3.3.1.

As far as I know, Digital has the best know-how in clustering, with the VAX VMS operating system. I think they added a sort of clustering capability to their Unix.

One of the ethernet cards, with the lowest pci number, occasionnally gets seen and recognized by the bios, but not quite by the kernel. Rarely this also happens to the SCSI card. A reboot or long reset always solves the problem. We have 8 machines, all with an ASUS P/I-P5T2P4 motherboard, AMD k6. 1 machine has this problem often. A second one has it once in a while (and also the SCSI occasionally) but the other 6 are just fine. During such I boot I get; Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0 rev 3 on pci0:0:0 chip1 rev 1 on pci0:7:0 chip2 rev 0 on pci0:7:1 pci0:9: vendor=0x10b7, device=0x0000, class=network (misc) int a irq 9 [no driver assigned] vx0 <3COM 3C900 Etherlink XL PCI> rev 0 int a irq 12 on pci0:10:0 utp/aui/bnc[*utp*] address 00:60:97:c8:35:8f ahc0 rev 1 int a irq 10 on pci0:11:0 ahc0: aic7860 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 3 SCBs ahc0: waiting for scsi devices to settle scbus0 at ahc0 bus 0 During a normal boot things look like: Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0 rev 3 on pci0:0:0 chip1 rev 1 on pci0:7:0 chip2 rev 0 on pci0:7:1 vx0 <3COM 3C900 Etherlink XL PCI> rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:9:0 utp/aui/bnc[*utp*] address 00:60:97:c8:35:77 vx1 <3COM 3C900 Etherlink XL PCI> rev 0 int a irq 12 on pci0:10:0 utp/aui/bnc[*utp*] address 00:60:97:c8:35:8f ahc0 rev 1 int a irq 10 on pci0:11:0 ahc0: aic7860 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 3 SCBs ahc0: waiting for scsi devices to settle And sometimes it also seems as if the ahc card does not get reset properly. Are there any flags I could set to solve this ? Could it have to do anything with some kind of resettign. A reboot always solves the problem. Thanks a lot ! Dw.

In Unix there's no such a thing as a "drive letter" like C: or A:. A valid one could be: "129.29.29.29/FreeBSD", _but_ continue reading. 2. If you want to install with NFS (Network File System) from a win95 box, you must istall a NFS server program on it. I don't think this is the best way to go ;-) 3. Forget the win95 box. Boot from the boot floppy, select FTP install and follow the instructions. (I mean: choose "primary FTP site" or similar, don't use 129.29.29.29). Yes, you *can* install FreeBSD *directly* from the net, no need to download the software on another machine before! Cool, isn't it ? Also, on www.freebsd.org there's a nice handbook that explains this and much more in detail. If you like the Unix world, you'll soon find the phrase RTFM, which means Read The Fantastic Manual. What? the F stands for something other than Fantastic ?? ;-) 4. Enjoy. This is a whole brave and better world. Marco Molteni Computer Science student at the Universita' degli studi di Milano, Italy.

What's the difference between EISA and ISA? Yes. EISA is ``Extended ISA'', and provides a 32-bit datapath to the cards, while ISA only provides a 16-bit datapath. However, EISA is backwards compatible, so you can plug ISA cards into an EISA slot and have them work. -- Jonathan From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 12 07:03:25 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id HAA05136 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 07:03:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from lsmarso.dialup.access.net (lsmarso@lsmarso.dialup.access.net [166.84.254.60]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id HAA05124 for ; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 07:03:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from lsmarso@localhost) by lsmarso.dialup.access.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA01514 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 09:59:24 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <19970912095918.37961@panix.com> Date: Fri, 12 Sep 1997 09:59:18 -0400 From: "Larry S.

You'll also need to install the teTeX distribution from /usr/ports/print/teTeX Give this system a try. It's a real treat. -- Larry S.

After many attempts at installing I managed to get to the thing going. luckily, thanks to the internet, we managed to get the dialup comms going. This allowed us the facility to dial into clients machines and perform routine maintenance. One of my new problems is that a couple of our customers have switchboards. I have tried to find the answer on the net but have yet to find anything concrete. My only other option is to get the client to dial-up an ISP and then notify me of the IP address. Once connected I can access his machine. This is tedious and requires hi input from the customer side as well as an additional ISP account per switchboard client. Please can you help.

If possible without creating > new accounts on the new mailserver ? Do your users have shell accounts on the current server? If they do, you're going to have a slight headache on yur hands no matter what you do. You're going to need consistent passwords on both machines (the current server and the mailhost), and a way to change the passwords concurrently (or some reasonable facsimile thereof) on both machines. This wouldn't necessarily be *that* bad if the users had shell accounts on the mailhost as well as the current server, but as it is, you're probably going to want to change their shells to something like /nonexistent on the mailhost. *So*, the way I see it, you have two options: 1) Install NIS+ or some similar form of brain damage to keep passwords consistent on both hosts without granting shell access to the mailhost. 2) Use a shell script that periodically copies your /etc/master.passwd and runs it through an awk program to change all user shells to /nonexistent (making sure not to do so for accounts like "root"). The script will also copy the new file to the mailhost (via scp), and run pwd_mkdb -p on it (via ssh). This seems like a disgusting hack to me, though :) I dunno, anyone else have any ideas? Mine really seem to suck pretty bad.

The kernel booted off the floppy and detected the correct model and size of the HDD. However, it hung after displaying `/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0'. Pressing Alt+F3 made the computer scream and only a hard reset could stop it. Installing to other HDDs is OK. Then I hooked the WDC33100H as a slave disk to an existing FreeBSD 2.2.1 system. When I tried to fdisk, fdisk reported wrong geometry and the kernel gave out lots of error messages: wd1s1c: hard error reading fsbn 1wd1: status 59 error 10 I connected the HDD back to a new system as the only HDD and booted with a kernel from a floppy diskette. I issued the following command: dd if=/dev/rwd0c of=/dev/null bs=1b count=512 I got the error message: wd0s1c: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command reading fsbn 1wd0: status 0 error 0 wd0s1c: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command reading fsbn 1wd0: status 0 error 1 The error messages repeated and the system hung. Any hints? Your help is appreciated. P.S. I tried this HDD on different computers ( Pentium and Pentium PRO), the same result. The HDD is OK in DOS environment. I heard of someone else encountered this problem on WD HDDs about 1 or 2 months ago. -- --------------------- Jason Liao --------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 12 07:59:37 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id HAA08675 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 07:59:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mercury.webnology.com (freebsd@mercury.webnology.com [207.51.255.70]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id HAA08668 for ; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 07:59:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (freebsd@localhost) by mercury.webnology.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id KAA06234; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 10:06:16 -0500 Date: Fri, 12 Sep 1997 10:06:16 -0500 (CDT) From: FreeBSD Mailing List To: Scott Brown cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Incoming mail disappears In-Reply-To: <34193D57.73C2@xmission.com> 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 On Fri, 12 Sep 1997, Scott Brown wrote: > I'm having a problem with my FreeBSD machine not being able to recieve > incoming mail.

Which struck me funny, because cislab (my gateway > machine) is a Netware server. Asgard is my machine. Sounds like you have cislab set up as an MX host for asgard. In fact, I know you do, since I'm looking at the dig output for your domain presently. You need to speak with whoever maintains DNS for your site (looks like Bill Zoudamakis, zoom@cc.utah.edu) and ask them to make asgard it's own primary MX. > Outgoing mail works nicely, as does local mail.

That's only for transferring mail from a temporary maildrop file to a client mailreader. It's all sendmail and DNS in this case, I'm 'fraid.

First is the simplest: have the standby machine ping'ing the first through a dedicated ethernet channel or SIO, and have it shut down the primary via a HARDWIRE switch... pull the plug, restart the inetd, and go. Second is to use a gateway-configured machine as an intelligent switch. You can change routing tables on the fly, and kill/restart the router in milliseconds. There is no reason why you can't also have a dedicated (unroutable) connection between the two for data updates. You could also build a little microcontroller-based 10Base-T switch that would switch the cable connection almost instantly. This way, all you'd have to do is to sense activity on the net and switch the wires with CMOS switches, no software changes necessary. Now, as to how to do this on an enterprise-wide basis, if that is what you are asking, I haven't a clue. :) -- 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 Fri Sep 12 08:25:04 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id IAA10362 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 08:25:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mercury.webnology.com (freebsd@mercury.webnology.com [207.51.255.70]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id IAA10354 for ; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 08:24:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (freebsd@localhost) by mercury.webnology.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id KAA06465; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 10:31:44 -0500 Date: Fri, 12 Sep 1997 10:31:44 -0500 (CDT) From: FreeBSD Mailing List To: "earhart@i1.net" cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Question.

Use ifconfig to assign the other IP addresses (if you're just using them for virtual domains on a single machine, use them as alias IPs for the loopback interface).

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 Thanks to some discussion on these lists, I started up processing the rc5 clients on all of my machines and some of my clients machines. I redirected the output to a file so I could keep up with how I was doing for myself. Well, after a few days, I started to notice a real discrepency between *my* count of blocks and the count they were saying I had -- like greater than 50% off. When my counts showed me over 1,600 blocks, their records said just over 700. When I pointed this error out to them, I got a message back that said it was a known problem with their proxy connection but that all of the blocks were being received. I don't understand how a proxy connection can screw up my stats, but that's the explaination I was given. Especially since all of my processes are using the same .ini file (via symlinks and/or mirror). For me this isn't an issue. I'll never be enough of a contributor to make a real difference in the big scheme of things. If I win, of course, that's great, but the chances are veeeerrrrryyyyyyyyyyy small. But some of the discussion I read concerned where you were in the rankings and such. Basically, if what I was told is correct, the stats they have are asu (all screwed up), along with all of the associated rankings, etc. I also asked how I would be notified when someone get's the answer, and was told that no notification would come. Somewhat anticlimatic. Anyway, I'd start checking your output stats against their stats to see how you are *really* doing...

This should be unnecessary. In Technical report CMU-CS-93-196, "An MS-DOS File System for UNIX", Allessandro Forin and Gerald R. Malan hobbled an FFS system, claiming many of its opimizations to be "unfair for comparison", and then loaded the entire FAT into core to improve the FAT performance relative to the FFS. They also neglected the fact that a writeable FAT FS can't be a POSIX FS because of its failure to follow "must be updated" timestamp semantics -- FAT does not supportstorage of all require POSIX tiemstamp fields, so this is impossible for it. In any case, the in-core FAT was written infrequently (it was stored in MACH pageable memory), which means they were not resynchronizing. [a much shorter version of the paper is available in the Proceedings of the 1994 Winter USENIX Conference, January 1994)] Personally, I suspect timing issues with the floppy driver; I assume you are using an unFIFO'ed NEC floppy controller. Floppy timing is a critical factor in hysterisis effects and overall reliability.

This is why you must be root to mount things: to prevent this from being a proble, since you only give the root password to people who only mount correct media. The fd problems you are reporting in general are either (1) incorrect media, or (2) correct media that, for whatever reason, looks incorrect to the floppy driver. In other words, it is as if you had mounted bad media, and, as expected, the machine went into the weeds. Note that you can eject floppies on a Sun machine wihout unmounting them; this is commonly used in student labs with the DOSFS, which is known to synchronously write all its data. You can eject the disk, and load another one, and it will operate correctly, without needing to sync before disk changes, etc., unlike the faster-because-it-is-cached FFS. But you can put a non-DOS formatted disk in the drive, access it, and crash the machine very easily. "Fixing" this would be prohibitively high in overhead for normal use. It's a trade-off.

If timing is so critical, why do MS-DOS and Win311 work flawlessly with it? I mean, they are hardly real-time OS-es? Let me put it like this: if floppy timing _is_ so critical, the FreeBSD floppy driver must be buggy not to adhere to it. On the other hand, I've never ad any trouble when I switched to mtools.

The only way I can make sendmail actually try to deliver anything is to add the TryNullMXList option, which according to the Sendmail manual is 'not safe'. The Sendmail book also *talks* about the error I consistantly get ('MX list for xxx points back to yyy') without really saying how to *fix*it. Should I be concerned that I seem to have to add the TryNullMXList option?

Since user@orionsys.com is the only address you want the outside world to use (and stress to your users that using a bbs.orionsys.com address will defeat your anti-spam measures) almost all incoming mail will go to rigel and there be shunted off to the appropriate machine.

Dynamic adjustment of the trigger level (to 8, then 4, then 2, then 1) after silo overflows is #ifdef'ed off. A level of 8 would probably work for all 386/16 and faster systems with only 4 ports, provided they don't have bus-hogging DMA controller. You currently have to edit the sources to change the level. ************************************************************ Can someone tell me where this 'trigger level' is set and how to change it so that I might get rid of an annoying message to console.

If timing is so critical, why do MS-DOS and Win311 work flawlessly > with it? I mean, they are hardly real-time OS-es? Because they are non-reentrant real-mode interrupt handlers. While a request to the floppy is in progress, they buzz-loop pending its completion, and so do not have the problem that they give a quantum to someone else, then need to service a condition on the device within a timing window smaller than the remaining quantum supports. Because the condition on the device needs to be serviced within a timing window, if you are running something that does not give back the quantum immediately, then you miss the window. The SCO Xenix floppy drivers (perhaps the best floppy drivers ever written for both speed and reliability and various format support) were all hand crafted x86 assembly, and had the necessary buzz loops to avoid the issue. They are also not very portable to anything but x86 architecture machines, and they consume an inordinate amount of CPU time in system mode to meet the timing constraints. Too much CPU time for modern user space CPU loads relative to anticipated system space loads. > Let me put it like this: if floppy timing _is_ so critical, the FreeBSD > floppy driver must be buggy not to adhere to it. Let me put it like this: the floppy controller design in general, and its interface to PC architecture in particular (which could have included seperate FIFO components) is intrinsically flawed. The correct way to resolve this problem generally is to use components with FIFOs instead of components without. The correct way for a multitasking OS to deal with this is *NOT* to drop into a buzz loop and to cease being a multitasking OS for the duration of the loop, as you are suggesting. The correct way for a multitasking OS to deal with this is to either prohibit the use of the floppy drive when the system is not in single user mode so that there are not timing preterbations caused by user processes (as you yourself noted: the installation floppy access works fine, and it does so for that reason), OR to employ RT extensions in the kernel and treat the floppy timing constraints as RT task constraints, and program the device driver accordingly. For an OS with few RT features, the only course of action is to prohibit the use of the floppy in multiuser mode. So consider yourself prohibited to single user mode until FreeBSD can integrate RT features. > On the other hand, I've never ad any trouble when I switched to mtools. > How's that? You have poor hardware. If you didn't, you would not be seeing the problem, and we wouldn't be having this conversation. I personally do not own poor hardware (I refuse to reward vendors of poor hardware with money by going out and buying it), for example, so I can't personally repeat your problem. Realize that if you are using the DOSFS and you are using mtools, both still use the same underlying driver. The block sizes read from the device by mtools are larger contiguous reads. This is (apparently) sufficient to mask the timing issues causing your problem under the file system, which accesses the device in 512b blocks. As a sidebar, the "ft" program does the same thing for floppy tapes that mtools does for floppy disks. If you are seriously interested in working around this problem in the kernel, I suggest you modify the floppy driver to read a track at a time, and use read-before-write, and also write a track at a time (this, by the way, is an example of a character driver exhibiting block-like behaviour despite the users impression that character devices are acharacter at a time -- see the recent SCSI tape drive block discussion). You should do write gathering in case someone trys to write in non-track incrementes, to reduce the number of actual reads and writes that take place. Together, all this would mask the hysteresis issues that other people are seeing with the floppy driver, as well. Overall, a moderately nice kludge -- but a kludge, nonetheless. For the floppy tape case, reserve two buffers, and switch between them at the timing windows. This will allow you to be able to resynchronize the tape at a write block boundry, and will eliminate the need for the "ft" program (though you will spend much time resynchronizing, and will be hard put to make the drive stream under any moderate system load).

Also, you can configure it with M4: define(`confTRY_NULL_MX_LIST', `True')dnl It's true that this approach has been 'deprecated' ever since it was introduced in v8.4.

However, we are not talking about SCSI or IDE drivers, we are talking about a lowly floppy driver. This discussion is about people finding their floppies trashed by their OS. Hardly `the correct way'. If I look at how I use my floppy drive, I'm usually sitting and waiting for it to finish anyway, so if my CPU is clocking idle time or system time makes no difference for me, personally. I have cheap hardware, and for that I am happy to pay the performance penalty, as I do every day. I'm quite happy to pay the performance penalty for a busy-looping floppy driver, if that means I can write floppies without having to worry whether I can read the disk later or not. FreeBSD has special options for people with broken keyboard resets, broken APM and broken PCMCIA cards. Why not add another one for unfifo'd floppy controllers? Groetjes, Kees Jan PS.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to get a system so that users can't "ls" other peoples home directories. The current problem is that this really breaks ftpd. It doesn't affect uploading to the directory, but when a user moves to a subdirectory and then tries to back out, it goes all the way to the server root directory. I set the dirs up like: drwxr-x--x 33 root nolist /u1 drwxr-x--x 33 root nolist /u1/u drwx--x--x 3 user user /u1/u/user PWD works like this. -r-xr-sr-x 1 bin nolist /bin/pwd Since ftpd setuid's the the incoming user then the getcwd() command doesnt work. I would like to figure out a way for getpwd() to work but break "ls".

Hardly `the correct way'. You may have a valid complaint, that FreeBSD did not do the wrong thing, and then rationalize it after the fact to justify doing the wrong thing; OR you may have a vlid complaint that FreeBSD allows you to access the drive when you are loading your system above the timing constraints. > If I look at how I use my floppy drive, I'm usually sitting and waiting > for it to finish anyway, so if my CPU is clocking idle time or system time > makes no difference for me, personally.

The problem is that you haven't reported enough information for us to go on. If this is your first attempt outside Microsoft, I'd suggest that you get hold of the binaries, preferably on CD-ROM.

You all know what a floppy cable looks like: it's a kludge, they've torn the flat cable apart and swapped the drive select lines. This means that you don't need to set the jumpers on the floppy itself. They're both set to 1. The system addresses /dev/fd1 as unit 1 and /dev/fd0 as unit 2. The swap in the cable swaps the two address lines, so the second floppy responds to address line 1 (the '2' bit) instead of address line 0 (the '1') bit. > Problem: Things get weird. Some systems don't like this arrangement. They can't tell. It's the same as swapping the cables. Of course, it's important to change both drives. > Would this affect FreeBSD? No. But why would you want to use floppies with FreeBSD?

I don't understand why you're doing things this way. It would suffice to set the permissions on the user directories, and this way you're making it impossible for anybody except root to find the directories. If you add read permission to /u1 and /u1/u, things should work OK.

I did a few years ago, with: T--HD(0)---Amiga(7)----------PC(6)---HD(1)--T |<----Machine 1---->| |<----Machine 2---->| boots from (0) boots from (1) (Numbers in parens are the SCSI IDs). I recall having to be careful booting up the Amiga, as it didn't like probing the other host adapter.

I'm not doing any failover (the machines are reliable, and aren't in use after working hours), but I conveivably could determine that the other server is down, fsck it's disk, and mount it on the other machine. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 12 19:15:40 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA26640 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 19:15:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from postie.das.gov.au (postie.das.gov.au [168.198.76.104]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA26622 for ; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 19:15:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from coljoh (coljoh.itsb.das.gov.au [147.211.50.134]) by postie.das.gov.au (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id MAA23684 for ; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 12:13:38 +1000 (EST) Message-ID: <3419F71F.2267@das.gov.au> Date: Sat, 13 Sep 1997 12:14:55 +1000 From: John Collett Organization: DAS Support Services X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: IBM ADSM Backup client on FreeBSD 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 actually have the older 430HX chipset (the TX is pretty bleeding-edge) and it has great memory bandwidth. You might check out http://sysdoc.pair.com too -- they have lots of info about modern CPUs and motherboard chipsets.

A traceroute shows it being disappearing somewhere behind 194.ATM11-0-0.GW3.CHI1.Alter.Net. Is that China? In any case, it's nowhere near where a ping to chevalier.net (in Hong Kong) goes. There are two possibilities: 1. You're using this net internally. In that case, you should be able to figure out who's doing it. 2. Somebody is spoofing. Try a 'traceroute 168.168.100.10' and see where the trace dries up.

Yeah, it would probably help your clock stability, depending on the quality of clock crystal you get. If you have permanent net access, look into running xntpd. It'll sync your time off of the official time and will compensate for your busted clock chip. They've had to deal with that problem on Suns too, so it should help you out. > 3) I run OSS/FreeBSD commercial sound driver. Does this possibly matter ? Shouldn't.

If you set this line in your kernel config: config kernel root on wd2 You may have to use the boot floppy to change that appropriately. Otherwise, if it is after the `automatic reboot in progress' message, you need to modify /etc/fstab and change all references of wd1 to wd0.

Common problem. If you get the message: panic: Cannot mount root At the end of the probe sequence you should either: 1. Have the line: config kernel root on wd2 in your kernel config, OR: 2. Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other parameters unchanged).

The core system has some rudimentary support, but your PCCARD CDROM may be supported if you use the PAO boot floppy, available from http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO. They add support for various PCCARD devices to the core distribution, and I recommend it for laptops.

I know that the omniorb porting group worked with the -hackers mailing list about getting necessary changes into pthreads, so an upgrade to -current might help you. You'll have to ask hackers@freebsd.org/check mail archives or contact the maintainer of the omniorb port.

For generic usage I assume. I personally have a NCR 53c815 SCSI controller. SCSI-2, cost about $125. Works great. The 825 and now the 875 supports WIDE if you need it.

Now my xterm's are doing weird things. Basically, any program that uses full-screen i/o (e.g. `more', `vi', etc.), when exiting, is clearing the screen and replacing it with the previous screen's contents (whatever I had displaying before I started more, vi, etc.). This is especially bothersome, for example, when running `man' and reading a manual page... I get down to the last page of the manual, and slap the space bar, then all of a sudden the last page of the manual disappears and is replaced by my shell prompt... before I had a chance to read it! Another problem is that `BitchX' (a full-screen IRC client) is now dying with the following error message: Your terminal cannot run IRC II in full screen mode. The following features are missing from your TERM setting. Cursor left Try using VT100 emulation or better. which is kinda stupid, since, isn't xterm a (fairly complete) emulation of VT100? I believe this has something to do with `termcap', because the `postinst.sh' script that came with XFree 3.3.1 told me that it should be upgraded. I followed the procedures to the letter (but still I could have done it wrong...?), and replaced the xterm entries in /etc/termcap with the proper ones that came with XFree86 3.3.1 (I forget where these are located in the distribution, something like /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/termcap.add?). I understand that the new xterm fixes some problems esp. with the proper display of colors, and the termcap entry has been fixed as well. Is there any way I can preserve the new termcap, while at the same time disabling the `clear screen on exit' thing and fixing the "cursor left" problem in BitchX? I'm not a UNIX wizard but I can stumble along pretty well, provided I have some guidance as to where to start. Any assistance you can provide through e-mail is greatly appreciated. TIA.

I've seen floppy drives marked 0,1,2,3 and others 1,2,3,4. It just depends. Is this saying "From 1st to 2nd" or "From 2nd to 3rd"?

I don't think its the same a swapping the cables. IBM came up with a weird cable when they opted to put a twist in the cable and jumpered all floppy drives as the 2nd drive (B: to some people). Back in the Good Old Days, not all floppy drives were sold to the IBM market. Back then drives didn't ship from the factory as B:. Even so, there were compatibility issues. Some systems for performance spun all floppies when one was accessed. They used a MOTOR signal on the cable. There might also be a head load signal. Some drives I've seen were sensitive to the motor signal arriving before or after the drive select. Get the signals in the wrong order and the drive doesn't spin. Am pretty sure the motor signal is one of the wires that gets twisted in IBM's cable. Am not surprised simply changing the drive's ID doesn't swap A: and B:. I see my BIOS has an option to swap the drives. It could work with FreeBSD if it was a hardware feature of the FDC. Don't know, haven't tried it. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Can anybody suggest a solution to this problem? -- David May mailto: mayd@cygnus.uwa.edu.au PGP Public Key: finger mayd@cygnus.uwa.edu.au phone: +61 41 216 8967 From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 12 23:59:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA10138 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 23:59:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from DonaldBurr.dyn.ml.org (pm2-15.sba1.avtel.net [207.71.218.143]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id XAA10132 for ; Fri, 12 Sep 1997 23:59:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dburr@localhost) by DonaldBurr.dyn.ml.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id AAA15819 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 00:01:06 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.1 [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Fri, 12 Sep 1997 23:22:01 -0700 (PDT) Organization: Starfleet Command From: Donald Burr To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Commercial WABI (Windows emulator) for FreeBSD? Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Is there a commercial WABI (Windows binary emulation) available for FreeBSD? If so, what is it called, who makes it, how much does it cost (if it matters, I am a full-time [community] college student), and where can I get more information on it, and possibly order it? Someone told me that some company (Caldera?) makes a commercial WABI for Linux. Is this true? If so, does anyone know if it will run fine under the FreeBSD Linux emulation? I need it because I would like to run QUICKEN under my FreeBSD session without having to reboot to (ugh) Win95. My goal is to completely do away with Win95, and I almost have all of the pieces that I need. If it matters, I run 2.2.2-RELEASE. Please respond by e-mail. TIA.

I do know that both WINE and Willows are available for free, although I don't think Willows is ported to FreeBSD yet, and WINE is alpha. >Someone told me that some company (Caldera?) makes a commercial WABI for >Linux.

A previous poster actually detailed the answer to your question, however it seems you didnt read it thoroughly enough. To change the cache/proxy settings in Netscape 4.x (standalone, communicator, Linux, FreeBSD versions, WHATEVER :-) do the following: Open up the Edit -> Preferences dialogue box. Left-click on the TRIANGLE TO THE LEFT OF THE "ADVANCED" LINE. Emphasis added because this is the part of the previous message you missed. When you open up the preferences window, this triangle will be pointing to the right. Left click on it, and it turns to a downward-pointing triangle, and lo and behold, out pops two more option menus entitled Cache and Proxies. Both provide similar or identical functionality to the 3.x equivalents. :-) Kris From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 13 10:13:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id KAA14313 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 10:13:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from w2xo.pgh.pa.us (w2xo.pgh.pa.us [206.210.70.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA14307 for ; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 10:13:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from w2xo.pgh.pa.us (w2xo.pgh.pa.us [206.210.70.5]) by w2xo.pgh.pa.us (8.8.5/8.8.4) with SMTP id NAA11943; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 13:13:05 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <341AC9A0.15FB7483@w2xo.pgh.pa.us> Date: Sat, 13 Sep 1997 13:13:04 -0400 From: Jim Durham Organization: Dis- X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.0-970618-SNAP i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Michael Richards <026809r@dragon.acadiau.ca> CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Making X go right away References: <199709131312.KAA06001@dragon.acadiau.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Michael Richards wrote: > > Does anyone know how to make X fire up right away?

I don't recall seeing the thread on WD drives, but I use the WD cavier drives (EIDE) models for all my clients' Win/Dos, etc. workstations AND for low end mail servers & routers. Matter of fact, I have one with the 2.1gb drive running on the build/burn-in bench now... What type of motherboard/controller are you using with the drive? It sounds like a BIOS/LBA type conflict, though the drive should be detectable. When you boot the board, what does the BIOS tell you? Is it auto-detecting the drive? Setting up any weird mappings? Are you setting the disk up to be used by both WinDos and FreeBSD? John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- John T.

After the install (this is with 2.2.2-RELEASE), I can still use the card as zp0, but once I add PAO patches to the kernel, pccardd won't recognize the card.

They've made things much more difficult than they need to be. Here's my setup, all IP addresses have been changed to protect the innocent :) - Start by assigning a subnet 199.190.102.124/29 (netmask 255.255.255.248) - 199.190.102.124 will be the network address for your LAN - 199.190.102.131 will be the broadcast address - I would suggest to assign 199.190.102.125 as the primary IP on your router (machine that is making the ppp connection to your ISP). This will serve as the default gateway for all other machines on your LAN. - Next, when making your connection, your ISP should assign your ppp session an IP address outside your subnet (say 199.190.102.129), and route your subnet to that IP address. Assuming that you run FreeBSD on your router, you'll need to edit /etc/rc.conf to turn the 'gateway' option on. Your usable IP addresses range from 102.125 to 102.130 >> Also. On setting up a virtual domain, how would I go about assigning a >> IP address to it? Best bet here, would be to let your ISP deal with this.

First let me start by giving you a little system info: 0. Problem: The mouse is very jumpy and unusable in X Windows. 1. I'm running 2.2.2-RELEASE. PS2 port and a 2 Button Microsoft PS2 Mouse. (It's labeled "Mouse Port Compatible Mouse" on the bottom.) 2. I've removed the word disable from the "device psm0 ..." line in the kernel config. I recompiled and confirmed that the system is seeing psm0 at irq 12 and port 0x60-0x64. 3. I've made the /dev/psm0 device (with both 1 and 0 as minor). I'm not using moused. 4. I've set my XF86Config pointer to PS2 and device to /dev/psm0 (and /dev/mouse -> /dev/psm0, but not concurrently). 5. I've tried to recompile with /sys/i386/isa/psm.c's define of PSM_EMULATION set to on and to tell the XServer that I had a Microsoft mouse. 6. Showed the Cat to the mouse with no noticable effect on the mouse. Cat just shrugged and walked away. Here's some of what I've tried in further detail: I added this line to /sys/i386/isa/psm.c in the psminit function: log( LOG_DEBUG, "Status: %d X=%d Y=%d\n", sc->ipacket[0], sc->ipacket[1], sc->ipacket[2] ); in /var/log/messages this is what I see: "normal syslog header:" Status: 255 X=0 Y=255 "normal syslog header:" Status: 254 X=255 Y=16 "normal syslog header:" Status: 254 X=16 Y=32 "normal syslog header:" Status: 255 X=255 Y=254 "normal syslog header:" Status: 254 X=255 Y=16 "normal syslog header:" Status: 255 X=255 Y=16 "normal syslog header:" Status: 255 X=0 Y=0 And these only seem to show up when the mouse is moved, never when the buttons are pressed and released. One thing I've noticed, in /sys/i386/include/mouse.h the PS2 data block is defined as 3bytes. ie: 0 = status 1 = x data 2 = y data In the book "The Indispensable PC Hardware Book" under the Keyboard and Mice section, it states that a PS/2 mouse uses an 8byte data block. ie: 0 = status 1 = reserved 2 = x data 3 = reserved 4 = y data 5 = reserved 6 = z data 7 = reserved With this I've even set the block size to 8, but the results are that the mouse get constrained to the bottom left 1/8 of the screen. I've restored the original sources and recompiled. As you would expect this didn't fix anything, but I wanted to be sure to return to the start as I've made a lot of changes. Any help would be GREAT! :) I'd rather not re-write the drivers.. But will if need be.. Christopher P.S.

The motherboards/controllers are ordinary Intel VX (Pentium, Award Bios) and 440FX(Pentium Pro, AMI Bios) MBs. They worked fine with Fujitsu 1.2G, 2.5G and 5 GB IDE HDDs. The BIOS was set to LBA off, no translation, no weird mapping. The WD hard disk was new and there was nothing on it when I tried to install FreeBSD. I returned the WD hard disk to the retailer and got a Fujitsu. Looks like it's something related to DMA ( a messages said something about `drq'). Does the HDD expects DMA transfer while FreeBSD wants PIO? I don't know.

This does sound like you're starting your X server as root, which seems a more insecure than need be, under the principle of least privelige. You can also start xdm in your rc.local, which will provide an X-based login screen. When you log in, all of the x clients will run as the user logged in. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 13 16:28:28 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id QAA05751 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 16:28:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from brickbat8.mindspring.com (brickbat8.mindspring.com [207.69.200.11]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id QAA05743 for ; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 16:28:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from loper (user-2k7i1pm.dialup.mindspring.com [168.121.7.54]) by brickbat8.mindspring.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA12558 for ; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 19:28:16 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <341B216F.63FC5540@mindspring.com> Date: Sat, 13 Sep 1997 18:27:43 -0500 From: Loper X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: setting up inetd (ftpd) to accept connections X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was wondering if anyone had any example files (better documented than the ones that come with the cd) on how to set up ftpd to accept connections.

I am using the new version of User Processs PPP and FreeBSD 2.2.2. I run a web server on a dial up link using Apache and ml.org's dyndns service. I do not have a dedicated IP address. Occasionally, when I have high traffic on my web server, packets disappear for no reason. Actually, my system won't send packets, but will receive them. I receive SYN requests from hosts and they are visable with netstat -n, but my system doesn't actually connect with them, nor will it perform a DNS lookup. All Internet traffic stops. My site will stop loading for people who have already established connections, and all telnet activity will stop. I am also unable to make internal connections (ie. telnet 127.0.0.1) so I must kill PPP and restart it. I am using the options ppp -alias -ddial. What can I do to fix this?

Could it be a |configuration problem during the compilation of XFree ? Or a SVGA |server bug ? Yes, this bug has been widely reported on the c.s.i.pc.h.video and *linux.x newsgroups, and the FreeBSD lists. All posts have in common users running XFree 3.3 or 3.3.1 on a Virge/VX-based cards (Diamond Stealth 3D 3000 or STB Velocity 3D) with the SVGA server. This problem doesn't happen with original-Virge-based cards (e.g. Diamond Stealth 3D 2000). For Virge/VX users, this problem doesn't exist in the S3V server, so you can switch to using that and get rid of the problem. In probing for details for the bug report I refiled on XFree 3.3.1's SVGA server regarding this problem, it appears likely that the Virge/VX init code in the SVGA server isn't fully initializing (or deinitializing) the Virge/VX like the S3V server does. Seems likely because the 2nd-time startup freeze "doesn't" occur if you start up the S3V server "first" and bring it down before starting the SVGA server. You can then start/stop the SVGA server all you want. 'course this isn't practical usage; just an interesting note on the problem. I've got a few other bugs filed on the SVGA Virge functionality. It's still a bit beta-ish as of 3.3.1, so I stick with the S3V server for now. I'm looking forward though to the increased performance we'll get from the SVGA server when it stabilizes. The S3V server is very fast, but hey, I'll take "faster" any day :-) Randall Hopper From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 13 17:20:35 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA08129 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 17:20:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (gregl1.lnk.telstra.net [139.130.136.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA08122 for ; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 17:20:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id JAA24903; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 09:50:19 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <19970914095018.34672@lemis.com> Date: Sun, 14 Sep 1997 09:50:18 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: pcoyne@br-inc.com Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: DNS request from unknown process.

Hmm. This isn't easy. Do you know which client machine is involved? If it's coming several times a second, you should see some activity from the process in question (use top); at the same time, use tcpdump to monitor the DNS activity (tcpdump port domain). if you then suspend the suspect process, you should then be able to confirm whether you're looking at the right process by the drop in DNS activity.

This isn't a bug, it's a feature. Your termcap has changed, and it now specifies a 'save screen' feature, which these programs use.

If you actually did it the first way, you could probably exclose the whole thing in parens and do: '(su username ; xinit ) &' or some such. I haven't tried this. I use the su username < script method. The way this works is that it starts up a shell running under the specified username and then reads in the script. Since the scripts says "xinit &", it starts up X under that user name. I have a need for this because I have a process that needs to run all the time that lives in an X window. I want it to come up automatically on reboot. My computer is in my home and it's OK to have it automatically come up with an X screen under my user ID, as nobody "bad" can get access to the console.

Jörg Wunsch subsequently showed me the error of my ways: if you screw up your X config, you might find yourself unable to access the system. This is what I have in the (draft) second edition: If you don't want to even see a character mode display, you can run xdm, a display manager which makes your PC look like an X terminal: it presents you with a login screen that runs under X. This requires some configuration, which we'll look at in the next section. Configuring xdm --------------- To enable xdm, 1. Add the following line (in bold face) to /etc/rc.local: # put your local stuff here echo " xdm"; /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm echo '.' 2. Add a line to the xdm configuration file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt04 (more options) This will start an xdm login window on /dev/ttyv4 when you start the system. You can also test the display manager manually by logging in as root on the console and typing: $ xdm -nodaemon Yet another way to start the display manager automatically when the system boots is to add a line in /etc/ttys to start it on one of the unoccupied virtual terminals. This is a very dangerous method: if you make a mess of your X configuration, you may no longer be able to access the system. The idea with running xinit at system startup is bogus. xinit is designed to run after login.

No. Why would you ever want that? Because that's the way Microsoft does it? PPP should run in the background without your intervention. The last thing you want to do is have to start it manually.

I'd be interested in seeing the output of `ifconfig de0' and `netstat -rn'. You should also double-check with your network admin that your netmask is set properly, and see if you have a single gateway (router) that you should be pointed at.

Or your ISP? Try running `set timeout 0' before running 'term'. This disables the long-space disconnect, which you may be having trouble with if your link to the FTP site isn't that great.

They don't lie. FreeBSD does have some support for SCO binaries. The shared libraries are a bit of a trick; you may need to borrow some from a SCO box. I don't know if Oracle runs specifically. I may be confusing it w/ something else but there is a script kit out to get Oracle or another major package working under Linux which also works for FreeBSD.

You need a terminal with some sort of download protocol(s). I believe hyperterm supports Zmodem so that should help things. . You need to install the rzsz port on the FreeBSD machine. This is available from ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/ports-2.2.2/comm. To do the transfer: 1. From the Windows box, dial into and log into the FreeBSD machine. 2. From the FreeBSD command prompt, type sz file where `file' is the name of the file to transfer. 3. The transfer should start automatically, if your terminal supports it. When you're done, the file is on the local machine in the download directory or location specified. Hope this helps. Doing this by script is a bit more difficult, but modifying a login script to do a little more may be a way to go.

Didn't think that was the trouble; I've been averaging between 1.6 and 2.7k/sec over my 28.8 link, so it's not a problem there. It just keeps going along at a pretty decent speed, and then . And I have to start all over again. I hope that there's something easy here; I'd rather not have to (for the third time) pull down a zillion files and transfer them, six at a time, onto a zillion floppies, and sit at my computer switching floppies for hours. I did that with 2.1.6, and with 2.2.1; that was more than enough for me.

Well, it looks like a UPS might be a good idea anyway :-) Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 13 22:50:42 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id WAA23547 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 22:50:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from alpo.whistle.com (alpo.whistle.com [207.76.204.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id WAA23542 for ; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 22:50:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by alpo.whistle.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA16195; Sat, 13 Sep 1997 22:45:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from current1.whistle.com(207.76.205.22) via SMTP by alpo.whistle.com, id smtpd016193; Sun Sep 14 05:45:24 1997 Date: Sat, 13 Sep 1997 22:44:48 -0700 (PDT) From: Julian Elischer To: Phumichit Saeueng cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Question In-Reply-To: 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 type mount -u / to get the root writable also, fsck -y mount -a will do it julian On Sun, 14 Sep 1997, Phumichit Saeueng wrote: > To freebsd-questions > Sometime the power gone out.
