Install (in your NT's Network Control Panel Applet) TCP/IP printing support. This will make your NT server lpd compatible. Then all you have to do is set up your FreeBSD's printcap file to point at a remote printer (exactly as described in the Handbook). The name of the printer is the same as the sharename given to it in NT. You'll have to use the -l flag to lpr to print PostScript files, etc., as the NT server treats everything as text files otherwise. > George wrote: > > > > > > > whats the easiest way to be able to print to my WIN NT printer that > > is on my network? what files do i need to set up and what to put in > > them? > > > > maybe someone can point me in the right direction. > > > > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 5 04:20:41 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id EAA13512 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 04:20:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mizar.netflow.es ([194.75.77.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id EAA13505 for ; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 04:20:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from jon ([194.75.77.201]) by mizar.netflow.es (Netscape Mail Server v2.02) with ESMTP id AAA201 for ; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 13:17:32 +0200 From: jsaenz@netflow.es (Jon Saenz) To: Subject: read-only root filesystem... = disaster?

My root filesystem filled up yesterday {or | and } I had some problems with permissions in /dev directory when trying to make my ZIP disk available to all users to mount and unmount it. I don't exactly know which is the cause of the problem, but my system (FreeBSD 2.2.2) doesn't boot now. After trying some solutions like mounting a minimal 2.2.1 distribution in a SCSI ZIP disc, removing the extra space in the root filesystem, making a Custom installation and Commiting the disklabels/distributions to the hard disk (extracting just a XF86 server which I don't need for my hardware) and some other actions, I have reached to the following status. a) My system refuses to boot. b) I only have the 2.2.1 CD-ROM distribution, because the 2.2.2 CD-ROM distribution was not mine :-(. The booting process shows the following output (#My comments inside hashes#): #The startup kernel is MY kernel, and it loads OK. My SCSI devices are correctly recognized and loaded at the LUNs I have assigned to them. It seems that all works OK up to this point.....# npx0: INT 16 interface swapon: adding /dev/wd0s2b as swap device #It's really my swap device!# Automatic reboot in progress... /dev/rwd0a: clean, 20990 free (62 frags, 2616 blocks, 0.2% fragmentation) # My root partition WAS /dev/wd0s2a # /dev/rwd0s2g: clean, 990073 free (433 frags, 123705 blocks, 0.0% fragm..)#/home # /dev/rwd0s2f: clean, 120069 free (4517 frags, 14444 blocks, 0.6% fragm..)#/usr# /dev/rwd0s2e: clean, 27989 free (117 frags, 3484 blocks, 0.9% fragm...) #/var# fstab: /etc/fstab:0: Permission denied. # Here start the problems... # mount can't find fstab entry for /. # /etc/fstab HAS a / entry!

I do really know that you can flame me by this, but... I can accept to be flamed if I get a solution ;-) Is there any possibility to recover these files under the previously quoted constraints?

It's a plain error indication from the floppy BIOS routines, that is, the BIOS from your mainboard, telling you that the floppy was bad at drive 0 (`A:'), cylinder 14, head 0, sector 2. Since the first 13 cylinders worth of data have been loaded without any problem, i think we can really exclude any other possible source of error here. (Well, the file is not laid out strictly sequentially on the medium, but you get the picture.) Make sure your floppy media is 100 % error free -- MS-DOS bad sector remapping doesn't work for the boot medium. Also, format your floppy before writing it (and i mean: forcibly format it, IMHO that's option /U in MS-DOS now). The usual MTBF i'm experiencing for floppy media defects is often less than 24 hours... -- 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 Sun Oct 5 06:48:50 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id GAA19024 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 06:48:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nefertari.udd.htu.se (nefertari.udd.htu.se [193.10.201.51]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id GAA19015 for ; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 06:48:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from b207nt6 (dos66.thnstud.htu.se [193.10.195.76]) by nefertari.udd.htu.se (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id PAA04123 for ; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 15:53:56 +0200 (CEST) Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19971005154410.0090dd70@student.udd.htu.se> X-Sender: f94jnh@student.udd.htu.se X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Sun, 05 Oct 1997 15:44:10 +0200 To: questions@freebsd.org From: Henrik Johansson Subject: FreeBSD incl CDE?

To rebuild the kernel, I need the source which lives on the cd and not my hard drive. Thus I would like to add the source package rather than re-installing 2.1 from scratch.

If SCSI, and *if* your SCSI card is supported (I stupidly purchased an Adaptec 2920 thinking "Gee, it's Adaptec, it should be officially supported"...not realizing it is an ex-Future Domain controller) then the dmesg command should tell you if it was recognized and what the drive id is. If I remember correctly, there is very detailed information about ZIP drive usage in the Handbook/FAQ/mail archives. (PS: I am aware of the 2920 driver written using PAO/NetBSD structures, but since I'm tracking 2.2-stable on my home machine it doesn't seem to work). > > Problem number 3.

All looks fine. Looking at fstab the partition labels look fine. Just to be on the safe side I have gone and changed the root partition to /dev/wd just about everything. The labeling part of the install says root should be /dev/wd2s1a.. Tried it.. When I first looked at fstab it was set to /dev/wd2a.

I have tried about 6 different printcap entries and filters submitted by you kind people on this list. I have upgraded to the newest ghostscript with all the needed accessory programs. My problem remains. I can print files fine. When I try to print postscript ie from xv or netscape I get about 6 pages 0f ghostscript error messages. The messages start like this GS<13>Error: /typecheck in --put-- OPERAND STACK: EXecution stack: Dictionary stack: Current allocation mode is local GS<13>GS<13>ERROR: /syntaxerror in -file- These type of messages go on then for about 7-8 pages. This is extremely frustrating. If anyone can make sense of this or reccomend another way to print then GS I would be extremely grateful. I like freebsd better than linux but if I cannot print with it it does me no good.

The filesystem will of course be mounted read-only, because it's not set as clean. You'll need to fsck /, then mount / to get it read/write; then you can do all that stuff. If that fails, then you might have to do what I did a week ago; I could no longer access my / partition because of a few complications of my BIOS resetting, and I wanted to save as much as I could. I have a 100 MB /, 128 MB swap, and ~800 MB /usr on my first disk, and 128 MB swap, ~1900 MB /home on my second disk. I did a install of bin and DES, over PPP, and I told it that the only thing it could use was what used to be my /; don't even TOUCH the partition entriess for the other partitions. Did the install, booted up, checked to make sure I could remount my old /usr and /home (on /mnt/{usr|home}), edited my /etc/fstab file to include them, and Voila! It's working so far, and I don't see why this mightn't help you at least a bit. Now, if you want to recover files in your / partition... Try the fsck'ing, check the permissions, and pray. > Is there any possibility to recover these files under the previously quoted > constraints?

Looking through my kernel config file.... {/usr/src/sys/i386/conf} root@mortis: %cat MORTIS | grep root config kernel root on wd0 I think you need to compile a new kernel that will look for root in wd2 (I think it's 2; sec master).

Well that was it, I used spaces instead of a tab. I even looked in a bunch of my books and while there is much about the syslog facility, none mention using tabs to separate the file name from the other names. The error, I would imagine, would come from when syslogd first runs on bootup, reads the .conf file and see's spaces where there should have been tabs. At anyrate, learned what I needed to know about syslog now. Thanks.

It looks like you have a ghostcsript problem -- not a printing problem. The typecheck error can be caused by any number of things, but an error return is one of the most common. You can run gs with debugging flags turned on and see exactly where it is failing. I would check these: 1. Can you display the PostScript output? If you can, the PostScript is ok and you have a problem with either the filter or driver. 2. Do you have the correct driver compiled in? 'gs --help' will show you which drivers are available. The answer to "which is correct" is in the gs docs. You'll have to unpack the port to find out. cdjcolor or cdjmomo should work. 3. Which driver are specifying in your filter? (-sDEVICE=xxx) Is it correct? 4. Check for permission complications. e.g., are the permissions on the filter, tmp directories and spool correct?

When you use the 192 netmask for the alias your are adding a *net* route to the routing table. You should have seen an error message like harvest.beach.net # ifconfig ed1 205.19.184.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists because that route has already been added.

The boot manager kinda has to be on the first drive; that way, it's loaded when you boot up. If it's just on the second drive, it doesn't do anything because that's not checked on bootup. So, you need to select wd0, jsut type q for the partitioning, then say install bootmanager. This installs the bootmanager, but leaves the partitions alone. Then, go into wd2, setup your partition, hen tell it to install the bootmanager. I don't think you have to have the bootmanager on the second drive, but better safe than sorry ;) However, I think you might have to compile a custom kernel to get it to boot off of the second drive, also. Of course, I could be wrong. > > Clues much appreciated. :) > > -Nick *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * FreeBSD: turning PCs into workstations * | Windows: turning workstations into typewriters | * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 5 14:07:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id OAA09412 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 14:07:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.netcetera.dk (sleipner.netcetera.dk [193.227.198.180]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id OAA09240 for ; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 14:04:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by mail.netcetera.dk (8.8.7/8.8.7) with UUCP id WAA02732 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 22:56:26 +0200 Received: by swimsuit.roskildebc.dk (0.99.970109) id AA06679; 05 Oct 97 22:55:25 +0100 From: leifn@swimsuit.roskildebc.dk (Leif Neland) Date: 05 Oct 97 22:47:20 +0100 Subject: cvsup tags: where on www is there a list?

I think we're going to need a little more information than that. 1) What OS's do you have on each hard disc? 2) Types/sizes of hard discs: IDE, SCSI? 3) Where did you put the bootmanager? 4) Where did you put your partitions? With that, we can probably be a little more specific in our answers, but as a quess, you didn't put the bootmanager on the right drive. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * FreeBSD: turning PCs into workstations * | Windows: turning workstations into typewriters | * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 5 14:37:12 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id OAA11534 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 14:37:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fly.HiWAAY.net (root@fly.HiWAAY.net [208.147.154.56]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id OAA11522 for ; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 14:37:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nospam.hiwaay.net (tnt1-180.HiWAAY.net [208.147.147.180]) by fly.HiWAAY.net (8.8.7/8.8.6) with ESMTP id QAA19887; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 16:34:16 -0500 (CDT) Received: from nospam.hiwaay.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by nospam.hiwaay.net (8.8.7/8.8.4) with ESMTP id QAA28970; Sun, 5 Oct 1997 16:33:45 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199710052133.QAA28970@nospam.hiwaay.net> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0zeta 7/24/97 To: Chris cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: dkelly@hiwaay.net Subject: Re: Brand of PC to buy?

Also, any > recommendations on hard drive brands (I'm thinking Seagate SCSI, but is > there a better brand?) I my opinion, there is no good brand of computer to buy for FreeBSD. Buy parts and assemble your own. You will select your own parts for your own reasons, not Gateway's. There are hardware reference guides at http://www.bsdi.com and on http://www.freebsd.org that go into excellent detail as to "why this" or "why that". The only thing I saw on those links that I question is an anti-ATX phobia (vs. AT MB format). Don't think I'd buy a new system with an AT motherboard, the blasted CPU and fan get in the way of the I/O cards. Buy parity memory, even if it is not EDO (very unlikely you'll find EDO or be able to tell any performance difference). Buy the very best power supply you can. And UPS. Buy multiple smaller HD's rather than one big one. Splurge. Pay $20 for a good bulk-pack Logitech PS/2 3-button mouse. Skip the $5 cheapie mouse. -- 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.

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.

Use ppp w/ the -alias switch or pppd w/ natd. The ppp primer (in the tutorials section of www.freebsd.org) gives good directions. With ssh, you're going to have to copy your machine's public key to the sparc as they'll be masquerading as the same machine on the internet.

X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, Can anyone tell me what's new in 2.2.x since 2.1.0??. I looked at the Web site but couldn't find the info. In particular I'm interested to know if support for logical drives in extended partitions has been implemented yet. If so can someone clarify the following: 1. Can FreeBSD boot from a logical drive in an extended partition or does it require booting from a primary? 2. If it requires booting from a primary partition, is it only the '/' partition that needs to be in the primary partition? 3. Is the partition FreeBSD boots from constrained by the 1024 cylinder limit on booting? The reason I need this info is that I am shortly to replace my 2 HDD's with a single, large (3.2Gb), drive and as I run multiple OS's I could have problems with the PC limit of 4 partitions & the 1024 cylinder limit for booting. I don't want to upgrade from 2.1.0 unless the above support has been implemented as I have a stable system at the moment. Any help/advice/info will be greatly appreciated.

Even if you want to stay on the 2.1 branch, you should probably consider 2.1.7.1. You may also want to consider 2.2.5, if stability is your goal.

The FreeBSD partition type would > be either ufs or 4.2BSD, though. Yes U CAN!!! vmount does this through a ported version of Linux's fs code. It feeds freebsd the VFS style info through an NFS port.

I'd like to use it on my own computer, but I use Windows 95 sometime (for graphic processing) and I need access to disks with VFAT file system. That's why I use Redhat Linux 4.2. It's not bad, but FreeBSD is better as I can tell when I'm using both systems. So my question is - will FreeBSD support VFAT and FAT32 file systems? I think this could be interesting for much more eventual custommers and users. Many users (I know lot of them) use Linux just because of its cooperation with other OS (Windows 95, OS/2, ...) it's more workstation than server, FreeBSD is more server, but now with huge number of applications it's turning to be great server and worstation in one, but as workstation it should support easy use of files from different OS. Wish you the best in your work, keep working on your great OS!

You won't find a new one at that price unless you get lucky. Some of the used stuff is pretty good, though. Although it requires some special flags to support an odd keyboard mode, the IBM ThinkPads work pretty well. Toshiba laptops also work well. John-Mark (who does some development for the FreeBSD project) is on an older Toshiba but it works quite well for him. I'm about to try a Digital HiNote laptop with it, an older model is what's behind the PAO Project. Also check freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org.

FreeBSD makes an excellent platform for ISP usage. Most people want a pretty robust box for doing ISP work, I'd look to running a P200 at least with options to go up to multiprocessor once the SMP stuff in -current gets a good test out. 128MB of RAM is a must, as well as SCSI hardware all the way around. I would check with freebsd-isp@freebsd.org. That is a mailing list which serves as a discussion forum for FreeBSD/ISP issues. No doubt they can point you to good consultants as well. Hope this helps.

I have one source that I was trying to compile that usually compiles fine on all my FBSD boxes. On this one machine, I took out the math coprocessor and put it in another box. Then a bit later I brought up 2.1.7.1 on it and it seems to be running fine. Then I tried a tex compile from native sources (which usually runs fine on my 486 boxes), and on this partcular 386 box gcc came back with parsing errors after including a second level of header file. I tried different ram, different processor speeds, different wait states, cache/no-cache, etc., and none of that fixed the problem. The only thing I can attribute it to is the presence or absence of the coprocessor, which seems strange. Any pointers appreciated.

I have spent untold hours over the last few weeks and nearing the end of my patience. I purchased my first copy from MicroCenter in Houston and have since requested and received an additional copy of the CD from Walnut Creek. This is a list of the problems I am having when I attempt to install the product: During the course of the install while copying the files from the CD onto the hard drive, I get screens full of the error: /stand/cpio: invalid header warning skipped XXXX bytes of junk no such file or directory Other times I get the message: mcd0 timeout read data retrying The errors finally terminate with: gunzip: stdin - invalid compressed data -- format violated /stand/cpio: premature end of file The last error even occurs on files that have previously been copied down to the hard drive. As I stated previously, I am nearly the end of my patience and time. In a fit of rage, I broke original CD I purchased after I got that copy mixed up with the replacement copy. (At the time I believed the problem was related to bad media.) I now believe the problem is independent of the different CDs. I am installing the FreeBSD onto a Western Digital Caviar 2540 hard drive (515 MB) with a 20 MB DOS partition at the begining of the drive. I have attempted to use the entire disk to no avail. I am installing from a Mitsumi 2X CD player on IRQ 9, Address 340. I have a 486-66 Intel CPU, NEC 1.44 floppy, and 24 MB RAM. I am using a standard VGA monitor with a Trident VGA card. No network, no audio, just a plain jane independent install. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am not tied to installing this FreeBSD, I just need a Unix machine. Are the various incarnations of Linux any easier to install? Maybe I should be trying the Red Hat or Slackware Linux systems instead of this stuff.

My 4-year-old Fujitsu MO drive does the same thing, even though the documentation claims it's SCSI-2 compliant. My solution was to edit /sys/scsi/scsiconf.c (search for SID_ANSII), and just make the if ((inqbuf->version & SID_ANSII) > 0) { line say if (1) { . That'll force it to assign devices with no SCSI version. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 6 11:24:37 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id LAA17092 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 6 Oct 1997 11:24:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from attila.stevens-tech.edu (root@attila.stevens-tech.edu [155.246.14.11]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id LAA17048 for ; Mon, 6 Oct 1997 11:24:19 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from wweng@attila.stevens-tech.edu) Received: from attila.stevens-tech.edu (attila.stevens-tech.edu [155.246.14.11]) by attila.stevens-tech.edu (8.8.5/8.8.3.1) with SMTP id OAA05202; Mon, 6 Oct 1997 14:24:00 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 6 Oct 1997 14:23:59 -0400 (EDT) From: Wei Weng To: Jose Monteiro cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: login_getclass syslog message In-Reply-To: <34392551.4755961@mail.leirianet.pt> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I got the similar error before too.

Essentially it is: xcopy32 c:\mydocu~1\*.* I changed the properties to close on exit, and all users are expected to just double-click the icon before they go home at night, or I take no responsibility for their data. After one user lost 200 address book entries and some bookmarks, they started to take me seriously. :-) It's kind of a primative way to do it, but it works pretty flawlessly, and I've managed to restore every machine that needed restoring. The only drawback is that it eats drive space for a period of time, but in my case that doesn't happen to be an issue. -- This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.

They apply to everyone, including local workstations. They certainly should be placed on hubs and relays. This keeps spammers from using your relays as their relays.

Schwertfeger" Subject: ICQ for Java (was: Java not happy with my machine) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk To all those who are going to try the ICQ Java version, here are some hints I worked out to get it to work: 1) Only JDK 1.0.2 works. I used the FreeBSD port of JDK 1.0.2. Read the README!. Took me a while to realize that I needed the pdksh shell as well. You also need to uncompress the tarball in your favorite location. Mine was /usr/local/java. (I didn't try kaffe) 2) Update your .login/profile/.cshrc to point to the java stuff. Mine from cshrc is: setenv CLASSPATH .:/usr/local/java/classes.zip setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/java/lib/i386 in my .login, I added "/usr/local/java/bin" to my path string. (if there is a better way, someone tell me!) 3) Un-tar the ICQJava where you want it. Mine is /usr/local/ICQJava 4) Modify the ./ICQJava/install file to point to the paths in 1 & 2 above. 5) Run ./install 6) Modify ./ICQ to add "-v" before "-classpath". This shouldn't be necessary, but otherwise, ICQ never displayed a thing. Annoying that you have to watch all the class calls, but you can run daemonized or minimize that window! I've reported this to Mirabilis. It works fine for me now. Hopefully they will upgrade it soon to allow chat. My UIN for ICQ is 425819. Thanks for listening! Patrick On 03-Oct-97 Eric J.

The users store any files that they want backed up in a particular directory tree, like c:\u\whatever and share that directory. The server takes care of the rest of it, backing them up about 3am every morning to .tar.gz archives that get rolled to tape for offsite storage. I know if a system did not get backed up by looking at the logfile from the cron submission. For us, it is easier/cheaper to backup user data only, rather than the whole PC. A PC can be reloaded in about the same amount of time as it could be restored, without using gigs of backup capacity on the server's disks or tapes. -rs > I have a FreeBSD server with DAT which serves, via SAMBA some Win95 PCs > (currently two, but eventually twelve or so as soon as the full funding > comes through).

That's a religous war question. You have a ton of choices for editors. uemacs is compact and fast. emacs (gnu) is large and full featured. vi (nvi) is the Unix standard. nedit is a motif based editor. see is the Plan 9 editor. pico is the pine default editor. And a thousand other favorites exist. If you like uemacs, use it. If you want more of a "good" thing, maybe try emacs. If you want to *KNOW FOR SURE* that your editor is going to be there, learn vi. If you want a small learning curve, then pico or nedit maybe for you. Me, I like emacs, but reality makes me use vi more than anything else. -- You can listen to thunder after lightning and tell how close you came to getting hit.

It suddenly developed these errors after a "bt0 not accepting commands" hang, while a second identical disk on the same 445C controller was unaffected. fsck and dd are of no use while there are sectors with hard errors. Do I need to use scsi(8) to remap or reformat the sectors, and which command bytes would be needed? Or is there an easier way other than reformatting the whole disk? The BT BIOS utility lists the units found on the SCSI bus when asked to verify the disk, which is an identical result to the next option down on the diagnostic menu (the one that is supposed to display this information). Here are the errors...

Not true in -current (and I think I brought the changes back into 2.2). You can now use filters w/ remote printers.... since 2.2.2 AFAIR. The only difference is that output filters will be executed once per job when remote printing ('cos it has to figure out how big the file is before talking to the remote lpd). Perhaps the problem is that the filter doesn't have a #! /bin/sh at the top. > Dan > -- > Dan Busarow 714 443 4172 > DPC Systems / Beach.Net dan@dpcsys.com > Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82 > -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

Sure. The world ain't that easy at all. If you're using non-routable addresses internally, then well, they won't be routed in the Internet. Sounds logical, eh? You need something like network address translation on the gateway machine, see natd(8). If your client machines are only interested in things like WWW traffic, no IP forwarding at all might be required. Instead, install a WWW cache on the gateway machine, like squid, and force the clients to use it. > I also am using routed, although Im not sure of the difference b/w > that and gated, and when either should be used. Rule #1: If you don't know what they are for, you don't need them. I've always suggested that it were a better default to shut them off, so only people who know what they are for enable them. I've been put down on this, alas. Disable routed. It has nothing to do with `routing', in the sense of `gatewaying packets' (or `IP forwarding'). The purpose of both programs is to manage routing tables (and to communicate the knowledge about routing tables across the net). -- 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 Oct 7 01:06:26 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id BAA07900 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 7 Oct 1997 01:06:26 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) 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 BAA07889 for ; Tue, 7 Oct 1997 01:06:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from grog@freebie.lemis.com) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id RAA27145; Tue, 7 Oct 1997 17:36:11 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <19971007173611.09061@lemis.com> Date: Tue, 7 Oct 1997 17:36:11 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: jamie@prodigy.net Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Help!!!

So here it is.... I'm hoping you may be able to give me a little direction. I am new to UNIX in general although I can get around, edit etc. We have lost our only expertise in FreeBSD and we are about to make some changes (below)! My company has a FreeBSD machine acting as an Internet gateway/IP translation/mail server. It has a network card which our LAN is connected to. It also has a 33.6 dial up modem which dials into our ISP. We do not use registered IP numbers on our LAN so the machine translates these address' between the network card and modem, so that we can get out to the Internet from our LAN workstations. We have recently purchased a Cisco PIX firewall which will take over the job of IP translation. We have also contracted a new ISP to provide ISDN connection to the Internet via an ISDN router. All that will be left for the FreeBSD machine to do is mail serving. My questions are: 1) How do I disable the use of the modem dial up, leaving only the NIC in place, so that this machine is simply another node on the outside of the firewall? 2) How do I stop it from performing IP translation? 3) Is there any GUI interface that can help me manage this machine in it's mail serving capacity?

What you can do is mount another filesystem below the one you wish to extend (so that if you filled up /usr, you can make for example a new filesystem for /usr/local). The other way would be to backup, relabel, and restore.

The closest you can come is to create a new file system and copy the data across, or to plant one of your directories on another file system via a symbolic link.

First, as Jörg said, disable routed. You don't need to run a routing protocol unless you have at least two different connections to the Internet, and even then it's dubious. Secondly, you'll need to run some kind of aliasing. If you're running User ppp (program ppp, interface tun0), you can do this with the option -alias. If you're running kernel ppp (pppd), you'll need to run something like natd as well. If this doesn't make too much sense, I can give you some review documents to put through their paces.

Sure, it's all overhanging the right margin. This is described in the handbook section on printing. Basically, you need a filter which sets the control characters correctly. Here's the example from the handbook: Installing the Text Filter We are now ready to tell LPD what text filter to use to send jobs to the printer. A text filter, also known as an input filter, is a program that LPD runs when it has a job to print. When LPD runs the text filter for a printer, it sets the filter's standard input to the job to print, and its standard output to the printer device specified with the lp capability. The filter is expected to read the job from standard input, perform any necessary translation for the printer, and write the results to standard output, which will get printed. For more information on the text filter, see section Filters. For our simple printer setup, the text filter can be a small shell script that just executes /bin/cat to send the job to the printer. FreeBSD comes with another filter called lpf that handles backspacing and underlining for printers that might not deal with such character streams well. And, of course, you can use any other filter program you want. The filter lpf is described in detail in section lpf: a Text Filter. First, let uss make the shell script /usr/local/libexec/if-simple be a simple text filter. Put the following text into that file with your favorite text editor:
#!/bin/sh # # if-simple - Simple text input filter for lpd # Installed in /usr/local/libexec/if-simple # # Simply copies stdin to stdout. Ignores all filter arguments. /bin/cat && exit 0 exit 2
Make the file executable: chmod 555 /usr/local/libexec/if-simple And then tell LPD to use it by specifying it with the if capability in /etc/printcap. We will add it to the two printers we have so far in the example /etc/printcap:
# # /etc/printcap for host rose - added text filter # rattan|line|diablo|lp|Diablo 630 Line Printer:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/rattan:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: bamboo|ps|PS|S|panasonic|Panasonic KX-P4455 PostScript v51.4:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/bamboo:\ :lp=/dev/ttyd5:fs#0x82000e1:xs#0x820:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:
BTW, I would very much doubt that this problem doesn't exist under Linux. The reasons are the same.

I downloaded (the original) STonX-0.6.7-epsilon and ran into the same problem. The port doesn't address this problem either.

I run the AfterStep window manager and I've seen the same problem. Since a large portion of AfterStep was derived from FVWM source, I'd say both window managers suffer from the same bug. Because this problem occurs so infrequent and it's easily fixed by restarting the WM, no one has bothered to track down and fix it.

Single high speed transfers aren't a problem, but the way it queues many network connections causes a geometric slowdown. 14) All linux binaries run on it, making it compatible with all x86 unix apps (except very few SCO bins) 13) Security is set up more sensibly with FreeBSD 12) FreeBSD's applications are more ready to run out of the package. 11) There is only one official distribution of FreeBSD, and has way better SMP 10) RADIUS runs on it. RADIUS is an authentication server, not unlike the Adult Check ID sites. 9) Just plain runs longer without crashing. 8) file system more stable, and with async and noatime options in the fstab, it's faster than Linux. 7) It's got a Demon for a logo, which makes it so cool you have to run it. 6) It's got all the branch chain amino acids 5) It's full of fiber 4) The chicks dig it. 3) It helps you in your relationships 2) It keeps you young And the NUMBER ONE REASON IS................ 1) EVERYBODY'S DOIN IT!!!

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 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Greetings, I've been trying to get SCO Unixware 2.1.2 (the free version) and FBSD to coexist on the same system. So far they don't seem to like each other. Here's what I've tried: Installed M$ DOS/Lose95 (for games only!) then FBSD (3.0) then SCO to a single HD (4.3 gig 'cuda on a 2940). What's happening is SCO starts as 2.1.1 then I have to install the patches and rebuild the kernel to bring it up to 2.1.2 (which is needed to get Morning Star PPP working and to load Netscape). Sometime after I rebuild the kernel FBSD starts puking. When I attempt to boot FBSD fsck pukes on the /var partition. So far I haven't been able to recover FBSD (I usually have to re-install FBSD). I've tried a similar setup with EIDE drives but the end result was exactly the same. I posted a message to one of the Unixware newsgroups. One of the responses was to NOT use Boot Easy, but instead to use OS-BS. I seem to recall some problems with FBSD and OS-BS (don't flame me if I'm wrong). Any suggestions on how to get both to coexist? Am I the only person having this kind of trouble? The reason I'm trying to get SCO working is to attempt to learn Sys-V Unix. I'm also open to other alternatives, if someone is aware of something equal or better (and is also FBSD friendly) than SCO. I've thought about Solaris (I think I can get an educational copy for around $100), but Solaris is supposed to be a blend of BSD & SYS V.

Use FDISK and delete the FreeBSD slice. (yeah, this means reinstalling) 2. Create a small DOS partition on the disk. It doesn't have to be bootable. 3. Run the FreeBSD install, removing the DOS partition in the fdisk editor and creating your FreeBSDslice on top of it. 4. Install as normal. For safety create your FreeBSd slice with `future operating systems' mode.

I forgot to mention that on the second round I did try that, unfortunately I had the same results.

Guilmette" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greeting again folks. I have one good question about inetd and who rather entirely simple question about installing optional packages on FreeBSD. Here's the story... I have just installed tcp_wrappers on a Linux system that I have on one machine on my local network and I was trying it out from the FreeBSD system on my network. I had enabled the option in tcp_wrappers that causes it to always try to get the identd info from the remote host. I also uncommented the `ident' line in the /etc/inetd.conf file on the FreeBSD system. Well, when I tried to rlogin from the FreeBSD system to the Linux system, the result was a veritable torrent of what I assume were syslog messages spewing out on the console. I finally had to reboot the FreeBSD box to make these stop. It seems that I failed to actually have the executable for the identd program installed on the FreeBSD box, and that's probably what caused this problem. But I don't understand why these messages seemed to just keep going and going. Shouldn't the inetd daemon just give up after a short while if it doesn't find the necessary executable to invoke? Separately, can someone please just tell me how one goes about installing optional packages (e.g. the identd package) on FreeBSD after you have done the basic OS install already? Sorry. I know this is a dumb question, but sadly, I only bought the FreeBSD CD-ROM and not the book, and I don't really feel like spending an hour or more trying to scrounge this one bit of info from the www.freebsd.org web site. (It seems like everyone uses different package install tools, and of course, everyone names them differently too. Even different flavors of Linux have different package installer tools!

First, the app-defaults contain information, not programs. The fact that there is an entry there doesn't mean you have the program. And yes, of course you can use xterm-color. Either this is a separate program, in which case you need to find it, or, as I suspect, it's the standard xterm. > (or why it gives you a default settings?)

If it's user PPP, you should be able to set the addresses with set ifaddr 209.47.145.213 209.47.145.10/24 If the Portmasters don't understand that, try set ifaddr 209.47.145.213 0 Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 7 17:29:07 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA04908 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 7 Oct 1997 17:29:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) 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 RAA04901 for ; Tue, 7 Oct 1997 17:29:01 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from grog@freebie.lemis.com) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id JAA05021; Wed, 8 Oct 1997 09:58:43 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <19971008095843.00219@lemis.com> Date: Wed, 8 Oct 1997 09:58:43 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: Doug White Cc: Thomas Pedersen , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Getting access to the harddisk via FIXIT References: <97100714181732800@mail.dfh.dk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e In-Reply-To: ; from Doug White on Tue, Oct 07, 1997 at 02:46:02PM -0700 Organisation: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8250 Fax: +61-8-8388-8250 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Fight-Spam-Now: http://www.cauce.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, Oct 07, 1997 at 02:46:02PM -0700, Doug White wrote: > On Tue, 7 Oct 1997, Thomas Pedersen wrote: > >> Hello, >> I have installed a system and it works.

The alternative, which will work in other cases as well, is to boot the machine in single-user mode. Here's an excerpt from "The Complete FreeBSD". Greg Sometimes it's inconvenient that multiple users can access the system. For example, if you're repartitioning a disk, you don't want other people walking all over the disk while you're doing so. Even if you're the only user on the system, daemons may be doing things in the background. In order to avoid this problem, you can stop the boot process before most of the daemons have been started and enter single user mode. To do this, specify the -s flag at boot time: Boot: -s The system startup will be interrupted as soon as the device probes have been completed, and you will be prompted for a shell. Always choose sh: some other shells, notably bash, get confused in single user mode. Only the root file system will be accessible, and it will be mounted read-only. The reason for this is that the file system may be damaged and require repair before you can write to it. If you do need to write to the root file system, you should first check the consistency of the file system with fsck (see the man page on page *******). For example, npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface end of the probes (high intensity display) Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: hit RETURN erase ^H, kill ^U, intr ^C # fsck -y /dev/rwd0a check the integrity of the root file system ** /dev/rwd0a ** Last Mounted on / ** Root file system ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups 1064 files, 8190 used, 6913 free (61 frags, 1713 blocks, 0.4% fragmentation) # mount -u / remount root file system read/write # mount /usr mount any other file systems you need To leave single user mode and enter multi user mode, unmount any additional file systems you have mounted and enter CTRL-D: # umount /usr # ^D Skipping file system checks...

We use Portmaster 2e's at our ISP. Customers on our service with dedicated static IP dialup accounts have to have a specific portmaster to dial into because of routing issues. Sounds like the routing to your static IP 209.47.145.213 is being routed to 209.47.14.10. So if you call in and catch a dialup line on 209.47.145.11 or 209.47.145.12 the return packets for your IP address is still being routed through 209.47.145.10. Since your not logged into portmaster with IP address 209.47.145.10 your return packets are never reaching you. What could be a short term solution is for your ISP to give you the first dialin line to the last portmaster in his hunt group and configure routing for static IP customers to route through the last portmaster. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cowan L.

I recently "helped" a friend put a Ditto 2G on his 5x86/133 system. Not something I'd advise anyone to do. The drive was cheap, about $125 including one tape. Store wanted $40 a tape. You know, 10 tapes and a Ditto drive puts you comfortably in the range of a real DAT drive and 10 tapes. Documentation was sparse. IOmega wanted $14 to talk on the phone. Naturally, the thing didn't work right out of the box. I found the IOmega www page to be helpful and found a hint that the floppy controller had to be capable of 1M Hz where 500 kHz was a normal floppy data rate. Apparently their software was not capable of telling you it wasn't able to communicate at that rate to the drive. Dug around here looking for FDC's. Found an Adaptec 1542CF that worked with the drive. What a waste of a perfectly good SCSI card. Told him I want my SCSI card back when he buys a genuine IOmega FDC card for his tape drive. To add insult to injury, the 2G Ditto can't format tapes. A 2G Sony preformatted tape isn't working as well as the genuine Ditto. Save your money until you have enough for a real tape drive. Its a darn good investment that will outlast your CPU. Often http://www.corpsys.com has good prices on DAT tape drives, but you have to watch out. There is a flood of Archive DAT changers on the market for $250 to $500. That could be a good deal for you as it will put an honest 2G to 4G on a $7 to $16 tape, double that storage with built-in compression. I purchased an Archive/Conner/Seagate 4326 (refurbished) for under $300. Has about the same guts as the above changer but was only a half height single-tape form factor. I see Bason has new ones for $459 at http://www.basoncomputer.com/td/td.htm. We won't consider the Archive external 4350XT at an unclaimed baggage store for $50. Only does 10MB/minute while the others do 24MB/minute, but it works perfectly. I've been playing with FreeBSD's tcopy command and my two tape drives. -- 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.

Are you planning to run a name server for a large network provider, including a large number of secondary servers? Then you might be on the right lines. I've always found that an old 386 with 8 MB of memory does a pretty good job. My name server, the primary for my domain, uses about 1 MB of data. In the last two days, it has used 22 seconds of CPU time on a P5/133.

Everything works except for the fact that my network card is not recognized by Free_BSD 2.2.2. When I get the kernel messages the card is seen under device ze0 rather than zp0 as the documentation states it should be. At device ze0 I get the message Ze "PCMCIA slot0 : 3Com Corp ~3C589~TP/BNC LANCARD Ver-1A~000001", then in the next line at Ze0 it says "not found at 0x300". I've tried rebuilding the kernel with address from 200h - 3e0h and also with varying irqs. When I run the 3Com diagnostics under dos it tells me the iomem is 0xF0000 but when I use this instead of the 0xD8000 default it doesn't matter. When using device zp0 in building the kernel, I only get a message PCMCIA card found in slot 0 but I never get the type of card data as stated when using device ze0 as above. I've read man pages and FAQ with no success. I do not run card services on NT and it tells me the resources that the card uses are IRQ 10 and Port addr 300h. Can someone please help out on this ?

Here is where I get to be a bit philosophical. :) FWIW.... I think a P-100 would run a good namserver. When "slow" computers aren't running bloated OSes and multimedia ooh-ahhs they really kick butt. I can't remember where I read (freebsd newsletter #1 I think) that Yahoo ran their webserver on the measliest of machines for a period. I would think serving up DNS resolves would be even less taxing. I am guessing that a p200 could manage a name service for several ten thousand DNS requests per day. Mind you, I am just yakking. Search harder for someone who actually has run a busy nameserver.

If a given machine could serve 1 million+ web hits per day, surely a DNS server could serve more than that? DNS would seem to me to be far less taxing than DNS. I seem to remember hearing that Playboy ran one of their web servers on a 5x86 or a very slow Pentium serving 500k hits a day... > Mind you, I am just yakking. Search harder for someone who actually has run > a busy nameserver. I work for a decent sized ISP. We have 2 nameservers one serves all the dialup for a significant number of users. The only thing that gets taxed is RAM. It is running on a P200, but it is also the SMTP/POP3 server, web server, and Radius server. It does other things as well, but that is the majority of its work. I don't even think a big newserver benefits all that much from a super CPU. The biggest bottleneck on a news server is probably hard drive speed.

As I understand it, there's only one tag for this branch: RELENG_2_2 It seems the cvsup repository is updated a few times a day. What you'd get from cvsup versus the beta might be a little different or it might be identical. It's really a question of whether you want to do a make world and build the system yourself or whether you want to do an upgrade with binaries. If you use cvsup and get the sources, make sure /etc/group has a group called network before you start--if it doesn't add: network:*:69: Either approach requires some attention to /etc, especially if you're upgrading from 2.1.x and thus switching from /etc/sysconfig to /etc/rc.conf. If you have a custom kernel you probably have to recompile it in both cases.

Having done both, upgrading via boot.flp (binaries) is a lot easier ;) On my home machine, I installed 2.1.7 about two months ago and then built 2.2.2-RELEASE and 2.2-STABLE via the make world process (just to learn how the CVSUP process works, really, although my wife claims it was for masochistic reasons). I've since upgraded to 2.2.5-BETA (10-05) via make world. On Tuesday, I installed a "brand new" machine for one of my customers using 2.2.5-BETA 10-05 boot.flp. No major problems to speak of, and it was a lot faster ;) That said, some low-cashflow ISP's must upgrade via the make world process because the machine cannot go into single-user mode (it might be the mail/web server or something like that). I've done that too (the hard way...I didn't use cvsup) but I'd strongly advise against going from 2.1X to 2.2X that way unless you're prepared! The best thing to do is a make buildworld (I'm not sure if "buildworld" exists before 2.2-STABLE) to compile all the binaries into /usr/obj and THEN do a make installworld to install them. It'll keep your "downtime" to a minimum (downtime is that period between when you start installing new binaries on top of running binaries/kernel is messed up, ps/w/top don't work, etc. and when you install the new kernel and reboot). > The betas are regen'd daily, including > the latest bugfixes.

I cp LINT to and start removing/changing items (although this isn't the recommended procedure...you're "supposed to" start with GENERIC and add the items from LINT you want...I find it easier to remove from LINT). Usually takes about 5-10 minutes to create the kernel (I also diff the old kernel against the new kernel to catch things like network cards at strange IRQ's or flags to npx0). >From there, it's a matter of compiling, installing, rebooting, and crossing fingers...with the occaisional cuss-word thrown in for good measure ;) > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > -- John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions System Administrator @denver.net/Internet-Coach/@ronan.net & Network Engineer 1031 S.

The base i/o for the SB is used for a lot of stuff, not just sound. It just watches separate interrupts for the IDE data vs. the sound stuff. Again, I'd want to check this.

DNS takes some time to propagate. Local servers cache the data to keep from repetitive lookups. You'll have to wait for the update interval to occur, which will notice your serial number update (you _did_ do that, right?) and will repull your NS data. If you're more specific about the host(s) and server(s) involved, we can do some research from this end. AFAIK techpower.net is resolving to 206.244.73.241, and I assume this is the machine in question. All of the nameservers listed in techpower.net's InterNIC record are responding with the above IP.

I'm running a secondary nameserver on a 486dx2/66 with 16 megs of ram. There's probably only 20 machines that use it though, so it's not real heavily loaded. (The machine also handles our mail and web site, neither of which is real high volume either, but the machine also isn't exactly tasked: 1:50PM up 11 days, 22:35, 1 user, load averages: 0.05, 0.02, 0.00). The machine transfers all of the msu.edu domain, so it typically is running around 6 megs of memory at any given time. Course, it is possible to overload a name server. The reason I set this machine up to do this was because the campus name servers were unusable at times because of the load they were getting. Couldn't tell you what they were running there though, although I seem to recall that the replacement machines they got were pc's running freebsd (no idea what level of pc though).

It gave me a floating point exception error and failed to start. I didn't bother trying to find out why. I downloaded and installed communicator-v4.03b8.x86-export.tar.gz and installed it and it has not given me any trouble at all. It seems they have not made this version available on the web. At least, I could not find it. You will have to go to netscape's FTP site to get this version and you will have to install it using netscape's very easy ns-install program. This is no harder than freebsd's pkg_add method.

I have created the initial installation floppy using FDIMAGE. I have copied the BIN files to floppies that I downloaded from freebsd.cdrom.com. It is version 2.2.2-RELEASE. The install will boot up, I choose that I only want to install the BIN and binary files because I will install X after getting FreeBSD running. The BIN files go from BIN.AA-BIN.CT. All files are copied, it asks me if I want to configure things such as the Root Password(which I was able to set), configure PPP(I did this and PPP opened and it dialed through my modem), then it asks me if I want to make any last minute changes. If I choose Yes, it takes me to where I can install other software components. If I choose No, it takes me back to the first install screen. From there, I choose Exit Install and the system reboots. With the floppy disk out of the drive, BootEasy comes on and asks if I want to load Dos or FreeBSD. I choose FreeBSD and the Boot prompt comes up. Here is what it says word for word: FreeBSD Boot@0x10000:639/31744k of memory Usage:[[[0:][wd](0,a)]/kernel][-abc(dghrsv] Use 1:sd(0,a)Kernel to boot sd0 if it is BIOS drive 1 Use ? for file list or press Enter for defaults If I press Enter, I get the following: Boot: dosdev-80,biosdrive=0,unit=0,maj=0 Can't find /kernel.

The problem is - after loading the os initially when we attempt to boot we see this message: cannot boot no os found. Sometimes the problem is intermittent - boots one time and then after a power failure (typically) fails to reboot with the above message. However on those machines with IDE controllers, we may boot freebsd from the ide disk and then mount the scsi drives. This confirms that freebsd was in fact installed. We have not been able to reliably boot from any Adaptec controlled SCSI drive running freebsd. Can you shed some light on this? Question 2) Take a look at the following diagram please: local LAN ---> freebsd PPP client ------------ freebsd PPP server ---> router -> T1 -> ISP leased line The PPP client machine always initiates the connection with the PPP server machine which is connected to the internet. PPP is run using the -alias option (on the client and server) however local LAN clients and the freebsd PPP client cannot see the ISP while the PPP server can. I thought (perhaps mistakenly) that the -alias option was supposed to address this problem. How can I get the local LAN clients to see the internet? Thanks for your time. Daniel C.

This means that some program that uses a lot of color (Netscape et. al.) is using up all the colors of your display. Either: 1. Exit color-hogging programs. 2. Increase the number of colors your display can show, at the possible expense of reduced desktop #2 requires some knowledge of your video hardware and of /etc/XF86Config.

Have your tried MS-Kermit as a telnet client? The emulations for vt100 - vt220 are far better than NCSA telnet. NCSA currently lists their telnet as "unsupported" while UofW is still providing bug fixes for their Kermit. The last version I used was 3.14. It was able to run over a packet driver as well as several commercial TCP/IP stacks. I was a happy user long enough that I was able to choke back my distaste for Windows 95 enough to *buy* the Kermit 95 version for when I must use that as a network client. -rs http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html Excerpts from .../overview.html --- Network connections include TCP/IP (built-in, with up to six concurrent sessions), AT&T StarLAN/StarGROUP, DEC PATHWORKS (LAT and CTERM connections), NETBIOS, IBM LANACS, Novell NASI/NACS, Novell LWP TELAPI, 3COM BAPI, Beame & Whiteside TCP/IP, Intel OpenNET, Ungermann Bass Net/One, Interconnections TES, Meridian Technology SuperLAT, as well as BIOS Interrupt 14 support for externally-established network connections. TCP/IP connections require a packet driver (Ethernet or SLIP class) or an ODI driver, and can coexist with Novell IPX connections. NOTE: MS-DOS Kermit is not a Winsock client. MS-DOS Kermit's terminal emulations include DEC VT320 and VT220 (international models), VT102, VT100, VT52, Data General DASHER D463 and D470 (and D217 in version 3.15), Wyse-50, Heath/Zenith-19, plus Tektronix 4014 and Sixel graphics. Terminal emulation features include screen rollback, capture, copy, and print; 132-column mode; horizontal scrolling; key mapping and macros; comprehensive character-set support; a compose key for entering accented letters; color text and graphics; much more. > I still have some problems with my NCSA DOS-telnet and FreeBSD...

Carefully. :-) FreeBSD uses the same basic tools that other OSs do, such as BIND and Apache. The only specific part is setting up the Ethernet interface for the multiple addresses, which we call Ethernet aliases. See /etc/rc.conf for instructions on how to set up alias'd addresses. Note that aliased addresses MUST have a netmask of 255.255.255.255. For instance: ifconfig ed0 inet 128.111.111.110 netmask 0xffffff00 ifconfig ed0 inet 128.111.111.111 netmask 0xffffffff alias ...

I've since upgraded to 2.2.5-BETA (10-05) via make > world. I've found an easy way to upgrade via cvsup and make world. First you cvsup the system. Then you make world until it breaks. Then for each program that breaks because it is dependant upon something that isn't installed yet just remove it from the relevent makefile and do a (cd /usr/src; make) again until it succeeds. i.e. if /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp breaks (which it did recently, cos of a dependency on libalias) just remove it from the makefile in /usr/src/usr.sbin. Once the make (notice you only need to run make world the first time, and make from then onwards) has finished do a make install to install what you've got so far. Then cvsup to replace all the stuff you've removed from the makefiles and start again. I updated a 2.1.5 machine to RELENG_2_2 last week doing this. Easy. (Only problem? It was a 486 machine with 8mb of memory so it was _real_ slow :) Joe From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 8 17:05:00 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA24232 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 Oct 1997 17:05:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mail.netcetera.dk (sleipner.netcetera.dk [193.227.198.180]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA24226 for ; Wed, 8 Oct 1997 17:04:55 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from leifn@swimsuit.roskildebc.dk) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by mail.netcetera.dk (8.8.7/8.8.7) with UUCP id CAA11784 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 02:03:08 +0200 Received: by swimsuit.roskildebc.dk (0.99.970109) id AA01775; 09 Oct 97 01:58:18 +0100 From: leifn@swimsuit.roskildebc.dk (Leif Neland) Date: 09 Oct 97 01:13:39 +0100 Subject: Never seen, new error in log file - need help Message-ID: <05f_9710090158@swimsuit.roskildebc.dk> References: <3.0.3.32.19971008085351.00e41d24@blue.pca.state.mn.us> Organization: Fidonet: UNIX-sysadm søger job To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk At 08 Oct 97 15:53:51 jabbott@blue.pca.state.mn.us (2:234/49.99) wrote to Leif Neland regarding Never seen, new error in log file - need help in area "freebsd-questions" j> I have had this system running for several months and suddenly I j> am getting a log full of this error.

If I understand you correctly, you've changed the IPs of the authoritative servers. Have you told the administrators of these servers of their luck?

This blanket "no" may not be answering the implied question. TIS FWTK is able to provide excellent user authentication. It can do that in conjunction with IP address restrictions by service.

It's still got some stuff dated Nov 16, 1995. One thing "make world" doesn't do is update /stand/sysinstall; nor does it update /etc. I've updated that by hand, of course, but didn't realize I had to move some files there to other locations--e.g., MAKEDEV in /etc/etc.i386 should be moved to /dev/MAKEDEV. As a consequence I couldn't make moused work. Unlike an upgrade using a cd (or ftp as an install medium), a make world doesn't update the X Window stuff, so I also had a pretty old version of that around, and just upgraded it by making the port, which, thank goodness, worked fine. My guess is that there are a few other things lurking....

I feel like being cheated. :( ^_^ There are a number of things to consider here: 1. Well, I don't know if it's *that* stupid, but it's strange. 2. Did you install the package via the port, or did you do it some other way? I had no problems at all with the port. 3. What date did you have set? I seem to recall you sending mail (presumably recently) with a date of October 1996. That could have confused StarWriter.

I feel like being cheated. :( ^_^ Well, in spite of what it said when I installed the port, I *did* have to run the setup program (/usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/setup) on my machine. It seems to me that I had the same problem you do. After that I was able to run swriter3, schart3, simage3, smath3, and scalc3 from an xterm window. -- Randall D DuCharme Systems Engineer Novell, Microsoft, and UNIX Networking Support Computer Specialists BSDI Internet Success Partners 414-253-9998 414-253-9919 (fax) BSD/OS Authorized Resellers From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 8 20:28:17 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA04535 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 8 Oct 1997 20:28:17 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from iglou2 (exim@iglou2.iglou.com [192.107.41.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id UAA04530 for ; Wed, 8 Oct 1997 20:28:15 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from patrick@cre8tivegroup.com) Received: from gateway.cre8tivegroup.com [204.255.227.34] by iglou2 with smtp (8.7.3/8.6.12) id 0xJ9Gj-00048f-00; Wed, 8 Oct 1997 23:28:10 -0400 Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.0 [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Wed, 08 Oct 1997 23:22:51 -0400 (EDT) Organization: The Creative Group From: Patrick Gardella To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: XF86Config Help?!?

In Windoze 95, I can get the card and monitor to do 1024x768 in 8bit mode at 60Hz (hsync 48.3). In FreeBSD and X, I get a split screen at this mode (actually doubled). I've tried the xvidtune app, but can modify the screen enough to use. I've gone through the XFree86.org FAQ, and did not get a modeline I could use. I would be much abliged if someone had this monitor and could provide the modeline. Or make some suggestions on how to modify the lines I have to make them work. I know this is an X question, but there might be a FreeBSD user who has used this monitor!

From "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition: Running the emulator is straightforward: just type in its name, which, not surprisingly, is linux. It's also a good idea to enable it in /etc/rc.conf: linux_enable="YES" # Linux emulation loaded at startup (or NO). This will cause it to be started every time you boot the system; it won't start it immediately. Since linux is an LKM, it won't show up in a ps listing. To check whether it is loaded, use modstat: $ modstat Type Id Off Loadaddr Size Info Rev Module Name EXEC 0 4 f3cc6000 001c f3ccc010 1 linux_mod Installing the Linux libraries In addition to the LKM, Linux emulation requires compatibility libraries. You can find them on the first CD-ROM as packages/emulators/linux_lib-2.4.tgz, or in the Ports Collection as /usr/src/ports/emulators/linux_lib. To install from the first CD-ROM, enter # pkg_add /cdrom/packages/emulators/linux_lib-2.4.tgz To build the latest version of the library, do # cd /usr/src/ports/emulators/linux_lib # FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes make all install The FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes enables you to install the library even if it is currently installed.

I've had tons of fun snapping images off of cable and my camcorder. Then I started thinking, hey, obviously I should be able to use this to take periodic snapshots from, oh, say a camcorder pointed at the room. This way, I don't have to buy something like a QuickCam or whatever to make one of those trendy web pages with updating pictures. Because I am a firm believer in "do not reinvent the wheel", I wanted to see if somebody else had written a small app to just snag TIFF or whatever format images from the capture card (obviously conversions can be performed by other programs)..

Try ulimit: ulimit -n 100 This should give you 100 open descriptors. ulimit -a will probably show that you have only 64 at the moment.

But, you know, when one is so used to the high quality replies from this list... ;-) First, some background informations. I'm doing a program as a term exam for the University. It should be a smarter bookmarks manager than the standard one that comes with web browsers like Netscape. Please note that the term "smarter" comes from the project description, not from my idea of it ;-) (Also, I'm planning to release a beta version, just to know how bad it is. I'll post an announce about it asap). It is my first Unix GUI programming experience, so I started having a look at some graphical toolkits. I excluded the raw Xlib and the commercial Motif. I found a very nice toolkit, Qt from Troll tech (www.troll.no). Now I'm evaluating Qt vs tcl/tk. Tk really impressed me. Easy and, IMHO, with a language (tcl) really clean and elegant, compared to perl, which seems to me cryptic and messy (please, no religion flames). And now to the subject: adding C code to tcl and perl. Please note that I'm new to tcl (I read Ousterhout's book, and fiddled with tcl/tk a little) and I just started reading the Camel book about perl. Now correct me if I'm wrong. I'm really disappointed to see that the only way to add new commands to tcl is compiling and linking a new tclsh or a new wish, while, if I use perl, I can simply add a require or use instruction (or similar) in the script from wich I want to use a C package (I know that obviously the package or library or how you call it must be linked with the perl library). Is it true, or I'm missing something and there's an esier way to add new commands to tcl? (eg, low-level capabilities that *must* be implemented in C, and not in tcl) Thanks Marco Molteni From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 9 01:25:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id BAA17008 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 01:25:38 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) 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 BAA17001 for ; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 01:25:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from grog@freebie.lemis.com) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id RAA23736; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 17:55:13 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <19971009175513.32365@lemis.com> Date: Thu, 9 Oct 1997 17:55:13 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: "Min Huang (tunny)" Cc: Doug White , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: color?

This card sits in a W95 only machine (I do run FreeBSD on another machine, honest!), and the SB-IDE port is not currently used, but even though the sound card sits at the ususal SB addresses (I220 I5 D1 etc), the IDE port is reported as being at 0x1e8, IRQ 10 (via device manager). This is quite nice, because some other 'cheap' SB clones with IDE interfaces just stomp over the existing secondary IDE controller at 0x170, IRQ 15 (or is it 0x1f0, irq 14?? for the secondary?). I've never tried this, but it should be possible to connect six IDE devices. I might try this later if I'm bored and feeling brave, just to see if it works.

I think the CD-ROM is not the problem. The problem is that FreeBSD cannot find the IDE controller at all. Looking for the devices on that controller would be next step if the controlled was found, wouldn't be? Even if I disconnected the CDROM from the IDE connector the error message was the same.

A lot of people get fanatical about the question. Still, I've just had to write this up for the new edition of "The Complete FreeBSD", so here goes. I welcome any comments or corrections. Greg What about Linux? Linux is a clone of UNIX written by Linus Torvalds, a student in Helsinki, Finland. At the time, the BSD sources were not freely available, and so Linus wrote his own version of UNIX. Linux is a superb example of how a few dedicated, clever people can produce an operating system that is better than well-known commercial systems developed by a large number of trained software engineers. It is better even than a number of commercial UNIX systems. Obviously, I don't think Linux is as good as FreeBSD, or I wouldn't be writing this book, but the differences between FreeBSD and Linux are more a matter of philosophy rather than of concept. Here are a few contrasts: Table 1-1. Differences between FreeBSD and Linux FreeBSD is a direct descendent of the Linux is a clone and never contained any original UNIX, though it contains no AT&T code residual AT&T code.

Another data point: At my former employer, we used a 486 DX2/66 with 32 MB of RAM, running BSD/OS 2.1, as our internal name server, internal mail relay, and HTTP proxy gateway for two years. It worked fine, and served as the sole DNS server and SMTP gateway for about 100 machines. It forwarded its Internet-bound SMTP traffic and Internet-bound DNS traffic to our firewall bastion host, but was entirely responsible for all intranet e-mail and DNS. We rarely had to reboot it--a good thing, given that we'd never gotten around to setting up an internal secondary DNS. (It was so reliable that setting up a secondary was given low priority, by default.) The single biggest drain on its resources was e-mail, not DNS. We finally replaced it with a slightly beefed-up Pentium 133, with extra RAM and disk, when the e-mail load got too high. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ "I support efforts to limit the terms of members of Congress, especially members of the House and members of the Senate." -- former Vice-President Dan Quayle From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 9 05:43:24 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id FAA28053 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 05:43:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gate.mgt.msk.ru (mgtrep.24h.dialup.ru [194.87.18.139]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id FAA28041 for ; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 05:43:01 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tarkhil@mgt.msk.ru) Received: from asteroid.mgt.msk.ru (asteroid.mgt.msk.ru [192.168.133.145]) by gate.mgt.msk.ru (8.8.6/8.8.6) with ESMTP id QAA08638; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 16:42:35 +0400 (MSD) Received: from asteroid.mgt.msk.ru (localhost.mgt.msk.ru [127.0.0.1]) by asteroid.mgt.msk.ru (8.8.7/8.8.6) with ESMTP id QAA03739; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 16:41:54 +0400 (MSD) Message-Id: <199710091241.QAA03739@asteroid.mgt.msk.ru> To: "Todd \"Taco\" Hansen" cc: tarkhil@mgt.msk.ru, questions@FreeBSD.ORG Reply-To: tarkhil@mgt.msk.ru Subject: Re: pppd with dialup-on-demand In-reply-to: Your message of "Tue, 07 Oct 1997 23:50:27 PDT." <343B2D33.41C67EA6@mad.scientist.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 09 Oct 1997 16:41:52 +0400 From: "Alexander B.

No, that's certainly not the only way to add new commands to Tcl. You can use the Tcl package facility to load a shared object or shared library into tclsh or wish. You might go look at some of the extensions listed in and see how they set up their package files and such. Also, you'll need to make sure tclsh and wish are compiled to enable loading of shared libraries.

Everything went well and I finished configuring. However, when I tried to create a kernel I found 2 source files with syntax errors (ac_id instead of ac_if) type of things. I fixed them and generated a kernel. Booted resulted in a page found while in kernel mode (attempted to access 0x8 while in kernel mode). Hmmm, redid using the GENERIC configure. Same deal. So I redownloaded from ftp.freebsd.org all of the src chunks again and 'install.sh all'. This failed in contrib and sys with a 'gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data -- format violated'. Note that all the files were downloaded using ftp in binary mode and only these two archives failed to install... all others are fine. Since my CD-ROM had come in I installed the chunks from CD and all is well. Kernels now run, etc. Has anyone else had any problems with the files stored on ftp.freebsd.org? I'm really puzzled as to what is going on. - Jeff From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 9 06:06:07 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id GAA29067 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 06:06:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from novera-bh.novera.com (novera-bh.novera.com [205.181.37.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id GAA29058 for ; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 06:05:59 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jeffa@novera.com) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by novera-bh.novera.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) id JAA26017 for ; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 09:05:59 -0400 Received: from 200.0.0.60 by novera-bh.novera.com via smap (3.2) id xma026015; Thu, 9 Oct 97 09:05:49 -0400 Received: from novera.com by epic.novera.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id JAA03704; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 09:01:32 -0400 Message-ID: <343CD6BD.D994105A@novera.com> Date: Thu, 09 Oct 1997 09:06:05 -0400 From: Jeffrey Anuszczyk Reply-To: jeffa@novera.com Organization: Novera Software, Inc.

The ppp is started "-auto -alias" and all seems to work fine. I'm currently using a slightly tailored set of filter rules orginally found in ppp.conf.filters.sample. However I wish to put in place a set of rules that basically allow any outgoing port to be established. It's only incoming ports that I wish to deny. Any pointers, samples, etc on how to do this would be great! - Jeff P.S. - I've read the man ppp pages and the samples.

First, 2.2/3.0 now has the chio SCSI changer code from NetBSD incorporated. Second, Amanda 2.3.0.4 from ftp.gps.caltech.edu includes a seagate-changer program that can control the changer directly using the chio mechanism. This has been a long standing problem for us and just thought that I point it out if somebody else is using a similar configuration. On that recommendation and a few others here recently, I got one from www.instantauction.com for $175. This changer holds 4 4mm DATs in an internal cassette with built-in changer mechanism. Seems happy to run with dump and manual amanda (I'm an amanda newbie but it looks like exactly what I need). Problem is I can't get the changer part to work. I'm running FreeBSD-2.2-Stable, cvsupped a week about a week ago. I compiled in support for ch0 in the kernel and it's recognized at boot: (ncr0:6:0): "ARCHIVE Python 28849-XXX 4.CM" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ncr0:6:0): Sequential-Access st0(ncr0:6:0): 5.0 MB/s (200 ns, offset 8) density code 0x13, 512-byte blocks, write-enabled (ncr0:6:1): "ARCHIVE Python 28849-XXX 4.CM" type 8 removable SCSI 2 ch0(ncr0:6:1): Medium-Changer 4 slots, 1 drive, 1 picker Some of the chio commands don't work, most notably "status": operator@thanatos<17> chio status chio: /dev/ch0: CHIOGSTATUS: Input/output error After such a failure, the logs show the following, three times: Oct 9 09:19:38 thanatos /kernel: ch0(ncr0:6:1): extraneous data discarded.

I had to tweak it a little, adding "#ifdef HAVE_CHIO", changing the include to "", and changing the name of the function name "isnumber" to "myisnumber". Still, no joy -- IOCTL failures: operator@thanatos<26> seagate-changer -info ioctl failed: 0xffffffff Input/output error operator@thanatos<27> seagate-changer -reset ioctl failed: 0xffffffff Input/output error operator@thanatos<28> seagate-changer -eject ioctl failed: 0xffffffff Input/output error Syslog logs the same message, three times each, for each of the above command failures: Oct 9 09:25:19 thanatos /kernel: ch0(ncr0:6:1): extraneous data discarded.

Can someone who's gotten this working tell me how you did it, or what I'm doing wrong that "chio status" and "seagate-changer -info" fail? Many thanks.

Well, the IDE controller may not respond if it's been configured incorrectly or is running up against some adversity from the CDROM and isn't able to function.

This is super-duper new, if I remember my Intel roadmap properly. I certainly hope that Intel hasn't done something silly with the IDE controller.

You're reading the CDROM instructions. :-) You need to write the boot.flp image to a disk using rawrite or fdimage, then boot that disk. Hope this helps.

Here are a few contrasts: I think you could mention that FreeBSD is a classic (?) 4.4BSD type unix-- thus one of the two types with which a potential sysadmin might want to be acquainted; Linux is a mix (so is most everything)-- It sounds as if FreeBSD runs Linux programs *because* not many commercial programs are available--but the point to make is that FreeBSD has Linux emulation and runs most programs available for Linux, whether commercial or not..... Drivers: Drivers are available for most standard hardware, right? Is the FreeBSD network code still better than Linux? Software installation: Some people have found that installing software on Linux is far more of a hassle than it is on FreeBSD, because of the variety of versions of software that may be included on any particular distribution of Linux. This may be one of FreeBSD's greatest and growing strengths--that the version of the software on which port A is dependent is there....basically installing software from ports or packages is really pretty easy with FreeBSD. "There is only one release of FreeBSD"--needs clarification. The problem here is that the word "release" is used in different ways. There's 2.1, there's 2.2, there's -current (3.0), there are snaps that are undistri- buted releases.... (and some snaps are "released" for distribution by WCcdrom--e.g., a version of -current a few months ago).... Also the kind a variety of support--the nature of the community-- involved in Linux vs. FreeBSD is different.... FreeBSD as well as Linux is "bleeding edge" in -current....you don't want to give the impression there's no advancement going on. But the "current" release of FreeBSD (2.2-R and its descendants, 2.2-Stable, right now) aim to be reliable environments for production etc.etc.etc.... Note that Yahoo! uses FreeBSD (2.1 as of a few months ago), but there's one big search engine (AltaVista?) that uses Linux. FreeBSD's "stable" branch at any gives time also has various changes made to it, e.g., bug fixes, improvements etc. that keep it up to date and reliable without introducing, necessarily, new features that might or might not work.....while the developmental work continues on the "current" branch.....I'm not sure if one installed, say, RedHat, that there would be a series of improvements available.....

I'd have to verify this, but you should be able to pull down the src/libexec/telnetd directory out of the CVS tree and rebuild it. I can pull this out and put it up for FTP if that would be useful. Log: 1.12 Wed Oct 8 3:10:32 1997 by uhclem CVS Tags: HEAD Diffs to 1.11 PR: bin/771 and bin/1037 are resolved by this change This change changes the default handling of linemode so that older and/or stupider telnet clients can still get wakeup characters like and D to work correctly multiple times on the same line, as in csh "set filec" operations. It also causes CR and LF characters to be read by apps in certain terminal modes consistently, as opposed to returning CR sometimes and LF sometimes, which broke existing apps. The change was shown to fix the problem demonstrated in the FreeBSD telnet client, along with the telnet client in Solaris, SCO, Windows '95 & NT, DEC OSF, NCSA, and others. A similar change will be incorporated in the crypto version of telnetd. This resolves bin/771 and bin/1037.

[ Summary: lazy. :-) ] No problem. FreeBSd has two systems, depending on how much CPU and flexibility you want. 1. Packages: Precompiled programs ready to run. Just fetch and type ``pkg_add package.tgz'' as root to install. 2. Ports: Sets of patches and instructions on how to compile and install a program. Justpull the directory for the port and type ``make'' from the top level directory; the port will fetch teh source archive, patch, configure, and compile for you. Run ``make install'' as root to install. Packages are nice since you don't have to compile, but not all programs are available as packages due to practicality or licensing concerns. Ports are updated faster and are smaller initially but need to have the source archive and take time to compile. I started out liking packages but eventually switched to ports, since you can specify the port to stop just before building so I can tweak the program's configuration to my local needs before continuing with the build. packages, you get what someone else wanted you to get (but it does mesh with the system layout).

Assembly under UNIX isn't the same as it is under DOS, since you have other programs wanting to use the CPU and you can't muck it up for them. You can't use Microsoft Assembler bits since tehre is no MASM for FreeBSD. If there was, there'd be no NT. :-) gcc does allow inline asm, but again, it's a different format.

Date: Thu, 09 Oct 1997 11:21:22 -0700 From: Sri Ramkrishna Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm not sure if other people have gotten this problem, but I've been getting it a lot and I'm trying to figure out what it is. If I open about 5 windows, and netscape, I can't seem to type any program that wants to fork. For instance if I try to do a "man -k sendmail" or something like that, the fork fails and the man command kicks out. While trying to determine why the fork failed I wrote a short C program that would fork and exit. If the fork failed I capture the errno. However the fork program works everytime, while the man command fails. Whats going on here? I'm using the generic kernel in almost everything except for some of the drivers. But the other options remain the same. I have a PPro 150Mhz machine with 32 megs EDO running FreeBSD 2.2.2. I can give you some information like, when I do a vmstat (I thought I was running out of memory) I find that 26meg is on the avl list and about 6meg on the free list. The machine doesn't indicate swapping, so it isn't memory. Can swap space be the culprit? I've set swap space to be twice the physical memory. So I have a 64 meg swap space. Any ideas would be great. sri -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Sriram Ramkrishna | Intel Corporation Unix System Adminstrator | MD-6 Division, Technical Support phone: 503-264-3529 | email: sramkris@ichips.intel.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 9 11:31:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id LAA18607 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 11:31:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from tpts5.seed.net.tw (tpts5.seed.net.tw [139.175.12.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id LAA18597 for ; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 11:31:40 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from guelph@tpts5.seed.net.tw) Received: from ppt12797 (t195-41.dialup.seed.net.tw [139.175.195.41]) by tpts5.seed.net.tw (8.8.7/8.8.6) with SMTP id CAA09774 for ; Fri, 10 Oct 1997 02:25:15 +0800 (CST) Message-ID: <343D1F31.4A09@tpts5.seed.net.tw> Date: Fri, 10 Oct 1997 02:15:13 +0800 From: Gordon Wang Reply-To: guelph@tpts5.seed.net.tw X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: help Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Sir I am a freebsd 2.2.1 user.

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 Hi, everyone. I'm thinking of making the leap from my old USR 144 to a new Hayes Accura 56. Assuming this is not another of these Winmodem deals (the specs from my vendor are iffy), I don't see any compatibility problems. However, can the FreeBSD PPP dialout program(s) fully exploit the new modem's speed? I checked the docs @ freebsd.org, but didn't see anything really pertaining to performance of higher-speed modems. My school will not be up to 56K anytime soon (currently at 28.8K), but I want to be able to connect with them at their maximum. Is there any reason that I shouldn't go with this modem? I'm at 2.2.1-R. Thanks for any advice you can give me! =) Jeff ______________________________________________________________________ jroberts@ashland.edu >>>> Jeff Roberts <<<< strider@acm.org Public Key = http://www.ashland.edu/~jroberts/txt/pubkey.asc Protect your privacy and freedom: http://www.libertarian.org Messages with subjects like "Hi" or "Question" will get deleted with the spam.

But it doesn't explain why a program I wrote that forks works when applications like man are failing. (unless they are forking more times than my program does) sri From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 9 16:47:37 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id QAA08295 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 16:47:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) 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 QAA08285 for ; Thu, 9 Oct 1997 16:47:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from grog@freebie.lemis.com) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id JAA12902; Fri, 10 Oct 1997 09:17:22 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <19971010091721.56418@lemis.com> Date: Fri, 10 Oct 1997 09:17:21 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: Wei Weng Cc: Robert Rusk , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Linux vs freeBSD References: <19971009200545.24922@lemis.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e In-Reply-To: ; from Wei Weng on Thu, Oct 09, 1997 at 09:00:59AM -0400 Organisation: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8250 Fax: +61-8-8388-8250 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Fight-Spam-Now: http://www.cauce.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Thu, Oct 09, 1997 at 09:00:59AM -0400, Wei Weng wrote: > >> That's a hot potato.

"The Complete FreeBSD" is published by Walnut Creek CDROM. See http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook.htm for further details. I'm currently working on the second edition, which will be out in a couple of months. You'll probably want to wait for that one.

I haven't used one of these myself, but I can't imagine that there's anything specific about them which would cause a problem for FreeBSD. Out of the box, most modems will try to run at full speed, but you can influence this by setting S registers.

Neither am I. But that could be as much lack of knowledge as anything. Once we get into discussing the FreeBSD flavours, a thing that still causes a lot of confusion, we need to understand the Linux scene as well in order to give a balanced viewpoint. I don't think I can do that. I *do* describe the different flavours of FreeBSD elsewhere, in the chapter on staying current.

Do we have any examples laying around of FreeBSD wanting for drivers that exist in Linux? Or are we simply repeating what's always been said? An example would be ATAPI CDROM's and FreeBSD. In the past FreeBSD's ATAPI support was slack. The reason I gathered was that nobody who was capable of the task wanted to do it. Today, I don't know what the status is of the wd driver. But I'd guess that its not being carressed into DMA, UltraDMA, mode 4.... the way a Linux driver would be. As with ATAPI, its just not as interesting to FreeBSD developers as SCSI. Speaking of interesting, tape handling has become a hot topic at work. Am having fun reading Seagate's DAT SCSI manual. Meanwhile have ported FreeBSD's tcopy to SGI. Time to start some enhancements.

Do you have any suggestions? Thought this and that above the [snip] were related. I subscribe to some lists which are dominated by Linux users. Linux distributions are quite different from each other. Have noticed vendors such as Netscape specify exactly which Linux distribution and kernel their product is compatible with. Authors of software distributed in source have to deal with users who can't compile on XXXX's distribution because... you name it. Location and version of ncurses comes to mind. Yeah, I know, there is supposed to be a Linux File System standard specifying where these files are to be put. I don't think its too far fetched to observere that its almost as difficult to step between Linux's as between any other Unix. I can't pinpoint it, but I was doing a lot of SGI Irix when I was attempting to do useful things with Linux in 1994. Then in 1995 I switched to FreeBSD and was much more comfortable. The difference in init bugged me for a little while but I flit between Irix and FreeBSD without blinking. Now I've got to deal with Solaris 2.5.1 and I'm back in a quagmire where nothing is where I expect 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.

What do you need routed for? If you're running a proxy, it can't help, but it might get in the way. A simple rule of thumb is that if you are only connected to non-local networks via a single interface, you don't need routed or gated. Does this fit your situation?

Maybe it's just some odd-ball stuff for which FreeBSD doesn't have drivers? There are drivers for the latest SCSI cards (2940UW), latest video cards (Matrox Millenium, Number Nine whatever, etc), Awe 64?

I read one extended comparison of installing and configuring FreeBSD (2.2.1R) vs. Linux (slackware) that I found quite informative, by someone named Chris Johnson. Here's what he says about this: There is a statement in the Linux community that goes something like "What Version are you running?", "I'm running Slackware 96, 2.0.29, with xyz upgraded to version..." It is a running joke that no two Linux boxes are the same. Even at my shop, no two Linux boxes are running exactly the same software load. The reason for this is that bug fixes are rapidly developed... Against the LATEST software version. There is no time or effort spent on maintaining old releases. Rather than patch a bug against 1.3.20, the bug is fixed in 2.0.28. And oh by the way, in order to run kernel 2.0.28, you need to upgrade to bintools x.y+1, and if you do upgrade to bintools x.y+1 you also need to.... There is this vast amount of inter dependence that you need to be aware of when maintaining a Linux box. The FreeBSD people run just one development tree. They use CVS, an extension to RCS, to control all the source for the base Unix that is FreeBSD. Any bug that is fixed is usually fixed against the released version and then merged into the developmental version. This means that you can keep your released version very clean. It also seems that the third party packages and ports are kept in a fairly clean configuration by the FreeBSD people so that future ports are easy. A brief digression into the concept of FreeBSD ports is in order. Normally when you want to install some piece of third party software, you find an archive with that source, down load the archive. Put the source into a source directory, configure, build, fix,fix,fix,port,fix, patch, install. On some packages, this can happen in a few minutes, on other packages, this can take hours, days or weeks. FreeBSD has a Makefile system that starts with a "ports source skeleton." Once you say "make", the make file looks up where to get the source from, in order it is: Local disk, primary site for that package, secondary site for that package, the FreeBSD site. The source is the transfered to your local disk. An MD5 checksum is computed and compared against the ports recorded checksum. If they match, the source is unpacked, generic patches are applied, then specific FreeBSD patches are then applied and finally, the port is built. This makes porting software darn near trivial. And more and more people are contributing their FreeBSD ports back to the FreeBSD people. This also means that the amount of disk space needed for source can be greatly reduced because after you have done the install, you can delete the modifications. Linux uses the more conventional porting algorithm, with one extra bit of confusion. If this package is one that comes with Slackware, it is likely that it was installed into the system libraries and binary areas. I.e. /usr/lib and /usr/bin. This means that you have to be extra careful when installing upgrades to make sure that the upgrade replaces all of the old parts. This had caused GREAT problems for me in the past. I thought that interesting--If you'd like all of what he wrote, I'll forward it to you. He also says Linux is easier to install on "cheap" PC hardware (ide disks) but FreeBSD on scsi is trivial. > > FreeBSD as well as Linux is "bleeding edge" in -current....you don't > > want to give the impression there's no advancement going on.

You *must* have a spare disk partition to install FreeBSD on. FreeBSD can understand Microsoft file system formats up to a point, but it needs a UFS (UNIX File System) partition to run. It would be impractical to install FreeBSD with less than about 150 MB of dedicated disk space.

Also, watch out for the limit on descriptors---it's often as limiting as the limit on processes. By default it seems that FreeBSD is not exactly configured for heavy X usage. I've set my limits to cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize 64MB stacksize 8MB coredumpsize unlimited memoryuse 120MB memorylocked 40MB maxproc 128 descriptors 128 and haven't had to many problems. You'll almost certainly want to adjust your maxusers kerner parameter. I've beefed mine up to 90---we have as many as four X servers managed by the machine at a time without any noticable problems.

But how do you untar the files from the tape. xzvf doesn't do it for me. And how can you list what is on the tape. Like tar -tzvf ???

I meant to say that the Berkeley Packet Filter/tcpdump works on the whole ethernet frame. The TCP part of the tcpdump name, may give the impression that it only can work on the TCP or IP level. The BPF/tcpdump is even generic enough that we have made very small modifications to make it filter/display ATM information. --mark.

To send the input/output of your X environment to another machine, set the DISPLAY variable to the IP address of the other machine, with the display number appended to it. Suppose your nt/win95 machine is at 10.10.10.2 then export DISPLAY=10.10.10.2:0 will do the trick. (ksh or bash format) You may also see this written as 10.10.10.2:0.0. The second 0 is implied in the first format. On a program by program basis, X programs all take the command line parameter "-display" with an argument in the same format as the DISPLAY environment varible. Of course you must have an X server (like Exceed) running on the Win95 box.

Easy 'nuff: grab the `des' distribution from ftp.freebsd.org or CDROM, cd to /, and type `cat des.* | tar xzf -' to extract. From then forward, all new crypted passwords (and others) will be in DES. Plus, your old MD5 passwords will still be recognized.

AFAIK, all cable modems are implemented through a interface box that kicks out a Ethernet connection. From there it's a matter of getting a supported Ethernet card. If you've read the Handbook then you know which cards are supported, you just need to check that with your system. If it's supported, then no problem. If not, you'll need to change it, which is quite simple. (I don't think the cable boxes are particular about which Ethernet card they plug into, just as long as the media types match up.) For getting past the proxy server, it's a matter of instructing your programs (netscape et. al.) to route queries through it.

This is Marcio Saito from Cyclades. We have a customer having some problems with a Cyclom-YeP (16 ports, PCI) in FreeBSD. We took him through the installation and everything seems to be fine but, according to him, there are two remaining problems: - SILO overflows. - Random System reboots. I would appreciate if you could give us some help on this. For reference, I'm including fragments of the user message. Thanks.

Well, that's cheating. :-) But you can't generate FreeBSD binaries using MASM, that was my point.

The question is, why is it working if what i did does not go along with both the FreeBSD Handbook and PPP(8) man page. This is what I did. 1) changed ppp.conf in the dial script to login using my sons username and password. It connected to the 1st portmaster 209.47.145.10 which is the one I could never get out on. I left the "set ifaddr" to 209.47.145.213 (my static IP) and found I could not get out as usual. 2) I changed the "set ifaddr" to 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 and dialed back in and saw with "show route" in ppp on BEEF> that i was again connected to the first portmaster with the IP as shown above for this particular portmaster. I tried a traceroute to www.freebsd.org and presto I was able to get out. 3) I then went back in to ppp.conf and put in the login script my username and password. I left the set ifaddr to 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 and redialed back to my ISP. Again i hit on the first portmaster and I am able to now connect and get out on the net. The show route also shows that my addr is the static one assigned to me which is 209.47.145.213 Here is the show route: PPP ON beef> show route default 209.47.145.10 ffffffff UG (1) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 ffffffff UH (3) 205.236.175.139 209.47.145.10 ffffffff UGH (1) 209.47.145.2 209.47.145.10 ffffffff UGH (1) 209.47.145.10 209.47.145.213 ffffffff UH (1) PPP ON beef> As I asked before, why does this work, when infact, the man page and the FreeBSD Handbook both tell me to put in set ifaddr my static ip, and when i do i can't get out anywhere?????

I can't get the system to use a host other than localhost (127.0.0.1). Here is the situation/issues that I've got: I've got an Intel 32-bit PCI ethernet card (I think its a Pro/10 but I'm not sure; I can find out if it matters). During installation (2.2.1), everything went OK but the installation never got to the Ethernet board network configuration part of the installation as shown in the installation guide. I got a list of serial/parallel devices (lp0, etc) with no ethernet board on the list (the install guide shows ed1 as an example of what one would see here. Do I see none because the Ethernet board is PCI?. Consequently, it never asked me for the host name, IP address, gateway, etc. I chose cancel at the list of SLIP/PPP devices and it went on to other things. When I do an ifconfig -a I get the lo0 loopback device (I can ping it also) but I don't get anything else (other than sl0, tun0 and lp0). Shouldn't I see ix0 or ed0 of something like that? What is the name of the interface I should use? If I ifconfig any of the above I get a message that says the interface does not exist.. Also, during boot up the system detects the Intel Ethernet board at pci0:13: and gives some int and irq info and says [no driver assigned]. Should it be assigning a driver? Why can I ping localhost but can't get any other host/ip address assigned to my network card? I defined 10.0.0.2 myname (the default) in etc/hosts. When I try to ping this I get no route to host. However, I can't add a route because I get network is unreachable. Basically, all I want to do is define an interface and host name/IP address other than localhost and be able to ping it. I can't get that far. What's going on? Any insights would be appreciated.

The portmaster does not want to be restricted to some IP you give it, therefore, using a static IP in your ppp.conf results in the portmaster refusing to connect you. So, just leave the dynamic IP stuff in ppp.conf, and let the portmaster do its thing.

Check that the machine has a SCSI host adapter and a cable with a spare connector. You should be able to confirm this without shutting the machine down. If you don't have a host adaptor, or the cable doesn't have a spare connector, get another cable with more connectors (if you have less than 7 devices on the cable), or another host adapter and a cable if there are already the maximum 7 devices on the cable. 2. Check the device IDs. If you don't know them, look at the output from dmesg. It should look something like: ahc0: rev 0x03 int a irq 12 on pci0.18.0 ahc0: aic7870 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs ahc0: waiting for scsi devices to settle scbus0 at ahc0 bus 0 This is the SCSI host adapter, on ID 7. scbus0 target 0 lun 0: type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0 at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 First disk, ID (target) 0 sd0: Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd0: with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track scbus0 target 3 lun 0: type 0 fixed SCSI 2 Second disk, ID 3 sd1 at scbus0 target 3 lun 0 sd1: Direct-Access 2063MB (4226725 512 byte sectors) sd1: with 6703 cyls, 5 heads, and an average 126 sectors/track scbus0 target 4 lun 0: type 1 removable SCSI 2 First tape, ID 4 st0 at scbus0 target 4 lun 0 st0: Sequential-Access density code 0x0, variable blocks, write-enabled scbus0 target 4 lun 1: type 8 removable SCSI 2 This system has four devices on the bus: Disks on IDs 0 and 3, a tape on ID 4, and the host adapter itself on ID 7. You can use any other ID for the (second) tape, but I'd recommend keeping 0 to 3 for disks, 4 and 5 for tapes, and 6 for CD-ROMs as long as these IDs are free. In this case, therefore, I'd recommend ID 5. 3. Set the ID jumpers on the device. Tandberg tapes should be well-marked, you should find three jumpers to set, for ID 1, 2, and 4. Set the appropriate combination to add up to your ID (in this case, 1 and 4). 4. If this is the only device on the SCSI cable, make sure that the terminators are enabled. I don't know the 3820, but I do know the 3800, and it has terminator resistors. Make sure they're inserted if this is the only device. If you're installing into a chain where there are already devices installed, such as in this example, make sure they're removed. Only the last device on the cable should have terminators. 5. Shut the machine down. 6. Find a slot to insert the tape drive, and insert it. 7. Connect the SCSI cable and power cable to the tape drive. 8. Reboot. During reboot, or later with dmesg, you should see: scbus0 target 5 lun 0: type 1 removable SCSI 1 st1 at scbus0 target 5 lun 0 st1: Sequential-Access density code 0x0, drive empty That's all there is to it!

To amplify on this: a lot of these "Works only with Windows with (foo) and (bar) and (baz)" instructions that you sometimes see boil down to the fact that this is the only way people have been able to get it to run. FreeBSD has extremely flexible networking, and I'd be surprised if it were not possible to get it to run. The amount of effort you need to get it to run is a different matter. It depends mainly on what information your cable supplier can give you. Frequently they don't know the information themselves. In this case, though, I'd assume that there won't be too many problems.

See http://www.byterunner.com for some low cost multiport serial boards which are designed to allow IRQ sharing. Even with the cost of international shipping, they may still be a bargain. I think they import those boards from Taiwan or China, so perhaps you can find a closer source for them.

Either: I use a 32-bit display (card won't do 24-bit "packed" color), and I get the same message.

FreeBSD is a complete freely distributable UNIX. You just take an old 386-or-better PC and erase that godawful Micros**t off its hard disk and either load FreeBSD from the Internet or buy a CDROM set from Walnut Creek (http://www.cdrom.com) and you can then make all the free UN*X (sorry, we're not supposed to CALL it UN*X because of some silly trademark stuff) accounts you want and you can host your own web - for free - and you can capture video and TV and all sorts of other cool stuff....

Well, you don't state if you were trying to build it under FreeBSD, at least your comments about what your environment is are confusing. The FreeBSD port works find IF you use a current copy of the port to build it on a FreeBSD host, with a current copy of /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk installed on the machine. I can't comment at all about your Linux problems. The FreeBSD port will be useless there. A FreeBSD port doesn't build software, it adapts software to build smoothly on a FreeBSD host (and manages things like building binary packages, installing, deinstalling, etc.) > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Oct 11 17:05:12 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA18124 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 11 Oct 1997 17:05:12 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) 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 RAA18117 for ; Sat, 11 Oct 1997 17:05:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from grog@freebie.lemis.com) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id JAA07404; Sun, 12 Oct 1997 09:34:54 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <19971012093454.31985@lemis.com> Date: Sun, 12 Oct 1997 09:34:54 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: parrothd@midwest.net Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: tty-level buffer overflows References: <3.0.3.32.19971001225109.006e88f0@midwest.net> <19971002142420.49578@lemis.com> <3433AF01.1578@midwest.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e In-Reply-To: <3433AF01.1578@midwest.net>; from bla bla on Thu, Oct 02, 1997 at 09:26:09AM -0500 Organisation: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8250 Fax: +61-8-8388-8250 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Fight-Spam-Now: http://www.cauce.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Thu, Oct 02, 1997 at 09:26:09AM -0500, bla bla wrote: > Greg Lehey wrote: >> >> On Wed, Oct 01, 1997 at 10:51:09PM -0500, Jonathan E.

The CPU has enough power, but with 8 MB you're going to be doing a lot of swapping, during which I think the async interrupts are locked out. I'd consider this fits my description of "heavily loaded", even if the CPU is 90% idle. This could be your problem.

Yes. You might have to change attributes on some files, i.e. remove sys/hidden/ro, so defrag will move the files. Norton mirror e.g. saves a copy of the system area in a hidden file at the end of the disk.

That sounds like a bug to me. In Linux maybe. What happens is that Linux doesn't recognize cons25 and rather than say so and ask for a TERM type (a la BSDI) it just refuses the connection. It will do that with any TERM that isn't defined in its termcap.

At this point I have tried to do a ~p and go back to packet mode or just leave it when I do an ALT-F1 to return to the install routine. It then says it cannot find ftp.freebsd.org or even the IP URL. I am at a loss to figure out (yeah, even read the informative debugging statements) why I cannot get it to negotiate an FTP session.

It seems to boot ok, no error message, and 12183 p0 I 0:00.00 /bin/sh /usr/local/etc/rc.news 12184 p0 I 0:00.10 /bin/sh /usr/local/news/bin/innwatch are running. Nothing is generated in the log files(/var/log/news). I cannot telnet into the nntp port 119, I get connection refused immedialty. Im doing this from the same machine it is running on, and have added additional hosts to nnrp.access with the same result. I have access to our companys News server, which I obviosuly didnt configure. It doesnt look very difficult to at least get something up and running...
