Well, when you read the man page for that command, if it slams you into the manpage for a shell, then it's a shell builtin. But sometimes you have to be sneaky. For instance, I had this trype of problem a month or so ago. I was trying to nice out some processes, and I couldn't. What I didn't know was that, besides the 'nice' binary command, there's a 'nice' builtin to tcsh (which I use), which has a completely different argument format. So, I s'pose all you can do is trial and error. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 1 01:56:43 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA16099 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 01:56:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.aloha.com (root@leahi.aloha.com [206.127.224.94]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA16091 for ; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 01:56:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from knowtree@aloha.com) Received: from 209.84.67.139 (behemoth1-137.pixi.net [209.84.67.139]) by mail.aloha.com (8.8.7/8.8.7/PIXI-5.2) with SMTP id XAA18851 for ; Sat, 31 Jan 1998 23:56:38 -1000 (HST) Message-ID: <34D446B2.23A0@aloha.com> Date: Sat, 31 Jan 1998 23:56:02 -1000 From: Gary Dunn Reply-To: knowtree@aloha.com Organization: Knowledge Tree X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Macintosh; I; 68K) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions Subject: X, NFS, 3C900 NIC Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by hub.freebsd.org id BAA16092 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" Aloha from Honolulu! I just got FreeBSD running this past week and have some questions I hope some of you with more experience can help me with: 1. How can I get better video performance with X? The system has a Matrox Millennia video board and a decent 17” monitor. I have done nothing more that run the sysinstall stuff and experiment with various settings, and launch X with startx. A. This setup gave sterling results with Windows NT (please, no beer can throwing). With X, at 800x600 and above the center of the screen “vibrates” especially side to side. Very high frequency, but slow enough to see the wiggle and not just a blur. Usable, but only with apologies. At 640x480 the image is rock solid but flickers as though it was refreshing at or below 60 Hz. B. The graphical elements are rather crude, reminiscent of Windows 1.0 and not at all like the beautiful things I had on an HP workstation I worked on a few years ago. Would Motif give me what I want? 2. How do I get NFS connectivity from a Windows 4.0 workstation or server? What would be cool would be to have my FreeBSD server appear in the Network Neighborhood window, perhaps under a sibling branch to Microsoft Network and Netware Network, called NFS. I tried a demo of a commercial product by Xlink (http://www.xlink.com/) but as yet have not got it to work. (It swears my security is not functioning, or that pcnfsd is not running.) Their interface was a bit outdated looking, too -- more like a Win 3.x app. If anybody has an elegant, cheap way to do this please let me know. 3. What needs to be working for Netscape to run? Just vanilla X, or do I need Motif? 4. I could not get a 3com 3C900-COMBO NIC to work. This is a PCI board. I changed to an SMC8000 series board, sixteen bit ISA, and it has worked flawlessly. I like to believe that the PCI board will be faster. 5. When I run /stand/sysinstall in muliti-user more the system dies with a page fault error, but it runs fine in single user more (that is, after executing shutdown). Is this what was intended? -- Gary Dunn Knowledge Tree Honolulu From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 1 02:05:27 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA17143 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 02:05:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from allegro.lemis.com (allegro.lemis.com [192.109.197.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id CAA17131 for ; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 02:05:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by allegro.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA29929; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 20:34:47 +1030 (CST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) id UAA08976; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 20:34:42 +1030 (CST) (envelope-from grog) Message-ID: <19980201203442.44497@lemis.com> Date: Sun, 1 Feb 1998 20:34:42 +1030 From: Greg Lehey To: knowtree@aloha.com Cc: Marco Masotti , questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Binaries NFS transparency References: <34D32A7E.2781@mclink.it> <34D4420D.62F0@aloha.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e In-Reply-To: <34D4420D.62F0@aloha.com>; from Gary Dunn on Sat, Jan 31, 1998 at 11:36:13PM -1000 Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" On Sat, Jan 31, 1998 at 11:36:13PM -1000, Gary Dunn wrote: > Marco Masotti wrote: >> >> I'm trying to NFS share a bunch of binaries, whose size is fairly big, >> from some megs to hundreds. >> >> The NFS server is a PPro FBSD 2.2.5-REL, the client is an Enterprise >> 4000 with Solaris 2.5.1 >> >> At runtime some of the application functions just get stuck. > > If the binaries are executables it is not going to work.

As for sharing with NT/95, don't bother with NFS. Install the Samba port. It is a SMB server for UNIX that is completely compatible with NT/95. It will get your FBSD box to show up in Network Neighborhhod with any name you want. If you don't like the way X looks, intsall a better window manager. Try afterstep or enlightenment. If you like W95, try qvwm or fvwm-95. For a cool desktop look and feel, try kde. All of these are available from the ports page off of the FreeBSD homepage. Motif is nice, but afterstep's GUI is pretty neat too. Also, look into the free lesstif (Motif 1.2 compatible). It comes with mwm. But, if you're use to HP/UX, you'll probably be most at home with kde, a few CDE work-alike.

They're both 10 MB/s boards, and the SMC should run with full speed. A PCI board will put less of a load on your system, though. What was the problem with the 3Com board? > 5.

No. What version of FreeBSD are you running? Versions earlier than 2.2.5 offered multiple opportunities to shoot yourself in the foot.

Nope. Currently ppp cleans the tun device when it starts up and keeps only one IP number assigned to it. Ppp may support multiple IP numbers in the future, but probably not in the way you expect. I'm thinking about the problem where a process starts up, binds a socket and sends a packet. The packet triggers a ppp dial and connects but reassigns the tun interface IP number because of ppp negotiations (this is all explained in http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html). The packet goes out, the target machine receives it and sends back a reply. The reply has nowhere to go because the target IP number is garbage. The originating process should send another packet, but, because the socket is bound to the wrong IP number, the same thing happens again. My plan is to treat the negotiated IP number as the primary interface IP, and any ``old'' IP numbers are assigned as aliases. Any outgoing packets will have their source IP compared against each of the aliases and will be tweaked and un-tweaked by the libalias engine so that the peer sees them as being from the primary IP. Whether or not the IP aliases are created in the first place will be a configurable ``alias'' option. Ie, the alias engine is a pre-requisite. Suddenly it's appropriate that both beasts are called ``aliasing'' :-) At the moment however, ppp is undergoing a serious shuffle so this stuff won't get done for a while. -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

It's not the syntax of the code, it's the shell itself. Instead of reading valid C Shell Scripts like a C Shell does, it reads it like a Bourne or Korn Shell Script. I even put in #!/bin/csh in the first line to make sure that C Shell will execute it.

I tried disklable from /stand/sysinstall (also 10/15 seconds trying something - probably wd1- after launching /stand/sysinstall, before getting into the menu screen !!) but when a configured one of the slices into a FreeBSD system and did a 'W' I saw some very brief message saying something like: 'ufs_fs unexpected recursive lock'. The slice got newfs'ed, but after that I got a kernel panic. Now I have a FreeBSD slice at the end of wd1, I can also mount to it, but always with the same painful probing and delay. Lock??. Why does wd1 takes 15 seconds in mounting? What is FreeBSD looking for before mounting wd1 (or showing the /stand/sysinstall screen)??

A few questions. What shell are you using when you execute the script? Have you tried executing it like this: /bin/csh scriptname.csh ? And what exact errors, etc. are you getting that indicate to you that it's being executed in other than C shell?

Assuming that you are working with a multi-disk system, this is an easily solvable problem.

The additional disk accesses for the directory search during open and the initial read to get the data into the buffer cache would likely make you application much slower. Your P200 can probably do thousands or more hash searches in the time it takes to do disk I/O. Go back and use file locking with fcntl's F_GETLK/F_SETLK/F_SETLKW calls. If your database is fairly small compared to your memory size, you might even consider loading it entirly into shared memory. That eliminates all disk I/O. You could then use semaphores for your locking. (Admittedly, figuring out how to use semop(2) can take some time...) You could then use a daemon process to monitor activity and dump any changes back to disk. If your cgi programs must wait until any database changes have been comitted to disk, then the disk I/O will be the limiting factor in your throughput. > Anyway, about open files.

Forget about the separate files idea. ;-) You lose performance due to both the additional disk accesses and the resulting misses in the buffer cache maintained by the kernel for disk blocks. Even if your transaction rate causes the disk blocks to be in the buffer cache, the I/O from the inode updates would be an additional load on the system. (It may be a load anyway even with two files with each cgi instance opening and closing the files.)

It will tell you right waway. Note that `which' won't tell you the command is a built-in unless you use `csh' or `tcsh', where `which' itself is a built-in. In a shell for which there is no `which' built-in (e.g., `ksh'), you'll end up running `/usr/bin/which', and that "outside" command cannot possibly know about the shell's built-in commands or its currently-established aliases. Try typing which alias inside `ksh'. You'll get no output. However, for most of the shells supported by FreeBSD, there is typically a built-in command that corresponds to `which'. For example: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHELL COMMAND --------------------------------------------------------------------------- tcsh which csh which sh type ksh whence -v type (which is nothing more than an alias for `whence -v' bash type zsh type which whence -v --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ You should emulate your heros, but don't carry it too far.

I still don't think it's going to be possible unless you remove the floppy and padlock the case... I've seen some 'mean' floppy-drive locks though (not like the usual plastic affairs) which might make it more feasable just to lock the drive up... As for getting round the security with 2 disks, well you can do it with 1 for NT, and I seem to remember being able to boot the old SCO system I used to run off a floppy - and then mount the root filesystems etc. (though it wasn't running C2 trusted)... You could always set a BIOS password on the machine, make sure the case is very well secured (back to padlock again) - and disable the machine booting from the Floppy drive - which at least leaves it free for usage once booted?

I then added the the line: define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/aliases,/usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.aliases')dnl Now my understanding it that this will produce 2 aliases, the default /etc/aliases and a new one for majordomo. In perusing the system (2.2.5-R New to me) I found /etc/mail with some neat spam filters. I appended the additions file to the mc file I made, thusly: cat sendmail.cf.additions >> /path/to/ train.mc Then (in /etc/mail) "make install" which made the filter databases. After m4 ../cf.m4 train.mc > sendmail.cf, moving the new file to /etc, and restarting sendmail, we get the above errors.

This really depends on what BIOS you have. I've seen PCs that have two BIOS passwords - one for access to the BIOS settings, and one for booting. If you get a system with such a BIOS (and lock the case), they'll need to know the boot password before they can get to the FreeBSD boot prompt.

If you totally disable the drive, fbsd won't look there, I guess. Just tried, when I removed the drives in the bios, fbsd just rebooted when I tried to boot from floppy.

That is more or less what I am doing -- set myself up as a primary for the 192.168 private network, and forward all other DNS requests to my ISP. The only thing to give me grief was sendmail; it insists on doing some domain lookups when mail is submitted, despite being told that SMTP is expensive and to just queue it. The fix is to have it relay everything through your ISP's mail host (probably not a bad idea anyway) and set up a 'service switch' file that explicitly doesn't mention DNS. The details are all in the FAQ on www.sendmail.org. I now have bind before hosts in /etc/host.conf, my gateway machine as the only nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf and practically nothing in /etc/hosts. It might also help you to have your ppp.linkdown script clear out the routing tables and reset the interface address and default route to something your name server knows about -- this will stop things from dialing out when they look at the routing tables. This setup is continually being refined, so please let me know if you come up with anything new, or need any more help.

It appears from the "netstat -I" that every output packet on the ep0 interface results in a collision. tcpdump shows nothing on the interface originating from host "pantera" but local ping requests show up. Unfortunately, I have no way to get information off the 486. I don't think this is where the problem is though since this host worked the first time on a co-worker's net similar to the one below but with 2 FreeBSD PCs and 1 Sparc 2. If there is anymore information you need let me know. Thanks!

(sorry) Anyway, I'm in the process of using ccd to mirror disks, or more properly the filesystems on them. During a search of the mail archives I saw that you did something similar. Is it possible to mirror /? Is it worthwhile? My main question is the syntax of ccdconfig. What do I use as the interleave when mirroring? I can't find anything about it, really. Is this correct: ccdconfig -cv ccd0 0 CCDF_MIRROR /dev/sd0s1e /dev/sd1s1e where the interleave is 0? Or should I leave the interleave out? Should I dd the "master" to the "slave" first?

I'm running FBSD 2.2.5 on a old 486 box, using it as a gateway/firewall between my home LAN and my xdsl line to my ISP. It's dedicated to that function...runs only natd and dhcpc, no users except for a console session via the serial port. It works very well except that every two or three days it locks up. No console messages or log messages, it just freezes, requiring a punch of the reset button. Someone here mentioned mbufs and netstat -m and I started watching it. All the resource usages displayed seem to be always growing. I'm beginning to wonder if it's leaking something and causing the lock-ups. As I understand it, those allocations are based on the MAXUSER value. It's set to 16 now. Anyone have any advice on this? Am I chasing a red herring? The vmstat values seem to be OK. Any comments will be appreciated. OTOH, I guess I could take the path of least resistance and set up a cron job to reboot every couple days... Thanks...

End of story. Not quite. Currently there are people working on porting FreeBSD to the Alpha platform, as well as to the sun4u platform. Currently the Alpha port is a bit further than the sun port.

The card is configured and the kernel sees it like it should. However any access to the card gets very inconsistent behavior. If I attempt to echo to the cuaa device the echo sometimes hangs in ttywait or less often actually completes. When the echo completes the output shows up out the port (where another computer running a simple character analyzer is connected). When it doesn't complete, the output shows up after the reboot when the boca card is probed! I have tried setting stty clocal on both the device and initial device but the behavior remains inconsistent. I have changed irqs and io ports. I have checked my cables. What am I missing?

Well, from what I understand, FreeBSD's VM system is by far the most robust of the three. IIRC, FreeBSD and NetBSD both branched out of 386BSD, and OpenBSD branched out of NetBSD. Also, I've heard that OpenBSD is a bit stabler and 'better' than NetBSD. Open/Net also run on far more platforms than FreeBSD, which is really just x86. I obviously believe FreeBSD is the best overall of the three, or I'd be running one of the others, and be on that list. ;-) I don't know any of this for certain, but I seem to remember it from various test results and previous discussions.

And that's very uncommon. Of course, there isn't much I can do about it, since you didn't tell me what you're running. I'd suggest you take a look at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. But I'd guess it's a relatively slow machine (386?) with a 16450 UART. Look for a board with 16550 UARTS; they're not expensive, and they should solve the problem. I've been monitoring a 368DX/33 which functions as an Internet gateway, and it had a lot of these overruns until it changed to 16550s. Since then there have been none.

You could modify the biosboot source to *NOT* do that. It wouldn't be terribly difficult to do. Give me a yell if you want me to modify the boot blocks for a particular release of FreeBSD to stop clever people changing the boot drive (changing the kernel would be stupid.. since if you messed up, being able to boot kernel.GENERIC is really good..)

My soundcard is a Soundblaster Pro and I have a STB Velocity 128 4MB Ram Videocard and and 17" Dell Monitor. Are there any special configurations for these since the latest Videocard seems to be the STB Velocity 3D or the STB 64... I would be much obliged if you would help remedy these problems.

Using 'q' to quit will process the mail spool (and the messages will really be deleted), using 'x' to quit will just drop you out of the mail program - and they won't be deleted...

I refuse to believe that nobody's done this before... I'm trying to connect a FreeBSD box into a Livingston async port. This is to replace an existing 486 FreeBSD machine wired up in this manner. I've copied the working machine's setup exactly into the new machine. This setup consists of: a shell script (called from rc.local) that does: #! /bin/sh while (true) do /usr/sbin/pppd -detach cuaa0 115200 /bin/sleep 10 done An options file: crtscts silent defaultroute 206.153.73.229:206.153.73.36 netmask 255.255.255.252 A stty -a -f /dev/cuaa0 on each machine gives identical output, so I'm fairly sure the port is configured properly. ppp is compiled in the kernel. Any thoughts on what I should check next? What am I missing?

I. If I have a domain (e.g. splash.nu) and have users dialling up, and getting a static IP which resolves to their domain name (e.g. kronus.splash.nu) is it possible for me to have it so that each user can have unlimited e-mail addresses per domain name (e.g. the user who own's kronus.splash.nu could have mail to postmaster@kronus.splash.nu, root@kronus.splash.nu etc.), obviously this is either going to involve.. o Coding my own SMTP & POP3 server (last resort ;) o Rigging sendmail & ipop3d o Could qmail handle this? o What about MMDF? II. If I have a domain (e..g splash.nu) and have users dialling up, and getting a DYNAMIC IP address can I, as they login have their IP added to the zone file so that the IP they've been assigned get's resolved to their domain name (e.g. every user has their own hostname, user kronus would have kronus.splash.nu). I don't particularly want to have a shell script doing an ndc restart everytime someone logs in. Would this involve kludging named to handle this?

The program below should print the first command line argument but when I try to compile it I get the errors 'argc' undeclared and 'argv' undeclared. I've been through the getopt man page dozens of times but I can't see where it shows how to declare argc and argv. So if they're not defined in stdlib.h I don't know where they come from. #include #include main() { extern char *optarg; extern int optind; int ch = 0; ch = getopt(argc, argv, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"); printf ("%c\n",ch); } At this point I'm so frustrated with this I would be happy with a way of just getting the command line arguments as a single string and decode them myself.

You may have selected to leave unformat information on the disk which will take space. fdimage needs the disk formatted so it can determine it's size, after that it just blows right over it.

Originally, I enabled mse0, but disabling it hasn't improved matters any. My problem is that once these drivers are configured and I leave the configuration screen, the screen goes blank, save for what appears to be a large cursor at the upper left corner of the screen. If I wait a few seconds, my machine reboots and I'm back to square one. On the other hand, if I use the default configuration I experience a whole pile of conflicts, but I do successfully reach the installation screen!

I was wondering if there was a way to figure out why it reboots. The amount of time it takes until it reboots can vary from 2 hours to 8 days. If it is a hardware problem, any idea which hardware is causing it to reboot? I thought it might have been the power supply because once in a while the entire system would go dead like there was no juice to it. I have replaced the power supply and it is still rebooting. >From dmesg...

Sounds like someone is trying to do autobaud. Also check your modem's settings and check that the remote host is actually working.

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5 from the CDROM on 3 systems in our lab. The 3 systems are connected via 2 Ethernet segments. One of the systems is connected to both Ethernet segments and routes between the two segments. However, *all* systems are running "routed -s". BSD1 ---------- BSD2 ---------- BSD3 Things worked fine, so we started expanding. On the Ethernet segment used between BSD1 and BSD2, a router was added to access the corporate net (and the Internet.) R | BSD1 ---------- BSD2 ---------- BSD3 BSD1 also has a default route configured to use BSD2. BSD1 also has a net/subnet route created for it by ifconfig. When BSD1 pings the IP address of the router R, future packets go directly to the router R. Running the "route -n monitor" command in another window also says that a redirect happened. A (host) entry is also added to the routing table of BSD1 for the router (shown via netstat -rn). The netstat entry for router R has flags of 'UHLW' I believe that this is a result of the destination IP address matching the net/subnet entry in the routing table and the "host" R is cloned. Tcpdump on the LAN segment doesn't show an ICMP redirect message. The default route is still set to BSD2. This netstat entry has flags of 'UGSc'. The netstat entry for the net/subnet entry created by ifconfig for this subnet is 'UC' When BSD1 pings to something on the corporate network (accessed via router R), there is *no* ICMP redirect from BSD2. Traffic goes from BSD1 through BSD2 to router R. Traceroute confirms this. Shouldn't routed be sending ICMP redirect messages from BSD2 to BSD1? Thanks, MikeC Michael C.

I don't know the Microsoft Intellimouse, but I assume that, like most Microsoft mice, it only has two buttons. Under these circumstances, you should really consider getting a new mouse, such as a Logitech 3 button mouse. If you also use Microsoft software, you'll be interested to know that Logitech supply a driver which emulates Microsoft's silly double-click with a press of the middle button.

Sue - The easiest answer is just to add a line in /etc/aliases on the mail server which will intercept their mail and split off two copies, one of which goes to you and the other to the new address which you will program their mail agent to respond to. jack: newjack@welearn.com.au, sue@welearn.com.au and then run newaliases to change it. You will get a full copy of their mail.

I'm sure it's not as good as a real three-button mouse, and it's almost certainly more expensive. You should get as comfortable a mouse as possible. Mice, and especially things like double-click, are responsible for a disproportionate number of arm injuries.

The outq error was a typo in the source code. It's now fixed. You can get the current version of ppp from http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian. I'd appreciate if you'd download the latest version and post if you're still getting segmentation faults. There's a bit in the FAQ on http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html that explains how to coerce ppp into dumping core if it's suffering from segmentation faults or the like (which it should *never* do). > Thanks > Vince That said, your speed problem is due to the sio overflows. I'd be quite surprised if this is anything to do with ppp. Have you tried things on another serial port (if you have two) ? What DTR speed are you using ? It should be 115200bps for a 33k modem.

I like to have more partitions for several reasons: 1) if you fill up 1 partition, you still have space elsewhere 2) if a partition for some reason gets scrogged, the others will still work. On many systems, /usr can be read-only for all practical purposes, with /usr/tmp on a writable system.

About the first part of your reply, I found a good software which can handle SmartUPS modified lately by Dough White. It's a good one. It can execute a halt command to shut down the machine after setting the UPS shutdown delay. It didn't go into my head, why you wanted to modify the kernel to shutdown. This code can be found in ftp://gdi.uoregon.edu/pub/upsd-2.0.1.6.1.tgz. About the second part, I am really interested in knowing what exactly it does. By the brief description, I am getting ideas to use it to synchronize the shutting down of all machines in case of power failure. I was thinking of writing a s/w which would broadcast a packet in the network and a client listening to it brings down the system. But I am too naive and have to study a lot to do this. --Gopu Bruce M. Walter wrote: > > Gopakumar, > > > Basically, I am planning to look into the APC ssd code and modify it.

That's a valid point. That's why I still think a separate root file system is a good idea, and I think that there is significant merit in the idea of a combined read-only root and /usr file system. > On many systems, /usr can be read-only for all practical purposes, > with /usr/tmp on a writable system.

As long as this is turning into a discussion of the logic behind different partitioning schemes, I thought I'd toss in another factor for consideration. (Please bear in mind that I may not have the slightest idea what I'm talking about, since I've spent very little time messing with quotas.) Considering that quotas are tracked on a per-filesystem basis, and that the size of the quota.* files appears to be relative to the number of files in the filesystem, it would seem to be a good idea for /usr/home to be a separate partition on systems with quotas enabled. My feeling (again, no personal experience) is that such an arrangement would not only save space, but also improve performance.

Thanks to all those who offered suggestions. They all made sense, and they all nearly worked. The most spectacular attempt so far (user:user,"|/path/scriptname" in /etc/aliases) resulted in errors of such magnitude (trying to forward to user called "|/path/scriptname") that root was sent a copy of the whole disaster... and root mail gets forwarded to me anyway so it was a kind of success :-) Well I'd better study up on this forward and script business some more, then maybe I'll see a way to delete the private message body before it gets sent to me. Meanwhile, bash seems able to check for other people's mail and that might be good enough.

It tells sendmail to leave a copy of the letter in the user's mail dir. Without this, you'll get into a massive loop. e.g.: ~user/.forward: \user, "| /path/scriptname" That should solve the disaster problem.

I finally convinced him to try FreeBSD (after much coaxing -- yeah!!), however in porting his code from Linux to FreeBSD he has discovered that the math libraries in FreeBSD (2.2.5 and -current) do not return "Inf" on 1.0/0.0 or "NaN" on 0.0/0.0 but rather result in a rather unpleasant "Floating exception (core dumped)" !!! Is there some way to change this behavior so that it returns Inf or NaN as appropriate. I've compiled a little test program under native FreeBSD and under /compat/linux and have found that the /compat/linux version returns the appropriate Inf or NaN. If the solution requires writing new code in the core math routines of FreeBSD, how difficult would it be to tackle this job? What documentation would aid this quest? It would be a shame to loose a good software product from a commercial vendor due to something as silly as this.

The result is that most leading edge comput- er books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. The second edi- tion has only just been published, but already a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They re- late to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. This list is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the book to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this docu- ment: it's closest to the original text. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and under- lining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text 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). General changes o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find pro- cess information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake for this information Page 45: Preparing floppies for installation Replace the paragraph below the list of file names (in the middle of the page) with: The floppy set should contain the file bin.inf and the ones whose names start with bin. followed by two letters. These other files are all 240640 bytes long, except for the final one which is usually shorter. Use the MS-DOS COPY program to copy as many files as will fit onto each disk (5 or 6) until you've got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Copy each distribution into subdirectory corresponding to the base name--for example, copy the bin dis- tribution to the files A:\BIN\BIN.INF, A:\BIN\BIN.AA and so on. Page 80 and 81 In a couple of examples, the FreeBSD partition is shown as type 164. It should be 165. Thanks to an unknown contributer for this correction (sorry, I lost your name). Page 140 Just before the paragraph The super user add the following paragraph: If you do manage to lose the root password, all may not be lost. You'll have to reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # password root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup Note that you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the system doesn't have the concept of user IDs. Page 160 Replace the text at the fourth bullet with the augmented text: The second-level boot locates the kernel, by default the file /kernel on the root file system, and loads it into memory. It prints the Boot: prompt at this point so that you can influence this choice--see the man page on page 579 for more details of what you can enter at this prompt. Page 197, first line The text of the first full sentence reads: The first name, up the the symbol, is the label. In fact, it should read: The first name, up the the | symbol, is the label. Page 283, ``Creating the source tree'' Add a third point to what you need to know: 3. Possibly, the date of the last update that you want to be included in the checkout. If you specify this date, cvs ignores any more recent updates. This option is often useful when somebody discovers a recently introduced bug in -CURRENT: you check out the modules as they were before the bug was introduced. You specify the date with the -D option, for example -D "10 December 1997". Page 285, after the second example. Add the text: If you need to check out an older version, for example if there are problems with the most recent version of -CURRENT, you could enter: # cvs co -D "10 December 1997" src/sys This command checks out the kernel sources as of 10 December 1997. Page 466, before the ps example Add another bullet: o Finally, you may find it convenient to let some other system handle all your mail delivery for you: you just send anything you can't deliver locally to this other host, which sendmail calls a smart host. This is particularly con- venient if you send your mail with UUCP. To tell sendmail to use a smart host (in our case, mail.example.net), find the following line in sendmail.cf: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS Change it to: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmail.example.net Page 364, middle of page Change the text from: The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though they may be in lower case. to The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though newer versions of ppp allow you to write them in lower case. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for this correction. Page 478, ``Running Apache'' The text describes the location of the server as /usr/local/www/server/httpd. This appears to depend on where you get the port from. Some people report the file being at the more likely location /usr/local/sbin/httpd (though note the directory sbin, not bin). Check both locations if you run into trouble. Thanks to Sue Blake for this information.

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. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: 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 one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, 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 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: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? ========================================= Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: 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 even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. 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 or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, 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. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 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 (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: 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.

In fact, I was testing with just components strewn across a worktable and it booted with no power switch connected at all. Maybe there's some option in your bios?

If I simply gunzip the tar files (piped thru tar) then I still get the broken pipe message after each tar file. The make script reports that the checksums are ok. I _think_ the tarballs got zip without something? Maybe? As I said I'm not a programer but I'm usually able to get more than this out of a port. This port, however is _way_ more complex, and I'm stumped. Any Other ideas appreciated. Thanks again for the attention.

I have recompiled with the firewall option, and the divert option. Before I recompiled the kernel ppp was *fully functional*, that is I could just 'ppp -auto myserv' and it'd do its thing without problem. Now, if I do this nothing happens. If I manually run ppp and connect, it dials in and receives the PPP info and drops me back to the ppp command prompt--but it never capitalizes the 'ppp' in the prompt to let me know it is fully functional. I'm assuming the firewall code is throwing a wrench into things somewhere, but I cant seem to figure out where. I am running 2.2.5-R, from the NatD manpages I generated a new firewall type of 'divert' to /etc/rc.conf, which is basically: $fwcmd add divert natd all from any to any via tun0 $fwcmd add pass all from any to any And when I boot--it does run correctly. I am not running natd yet.

Look at 'man mail'. > This is true, but not necessarily all that helpful if what you want is to get Netscape mail working. I have a question about mail myself, that I am reminded of: a) FreeBSD mail/sendmail is configured to use flock mail file locking, with the /var/spool/mail directory permissions set so that dot-locking is not allowed (no "other" write permission on /var/mail). This is fine and good, and is the BSD way to do it, but: b) flock doesn't work across NFS, I believe. I've heard something about the rpc.lockd protocol being unimplementable. (Impossible to avoid race conditions?) The obvioius BSD answer to this is "don't do that". Run an imap4 or pop service on the mail host instead, and have your MUA talk to that. Certainly Netscape can be made to do that (talk to a POP server). What do we do about MUAs like Netscape that come as binaries for other platforms (Linux, for example), and want to do dot-locking? Do we have to build and run a POP server just to talk to our local mail spool? Now that there is a native FreeBSD version of Netscape, it presumably _does_ use flock mail file locking, so the problem is moot. It does, doesn't it? If that is the case, then the answer to the original question is probably "use the most recent FreeBSD version, from the ports collection".

Still fiddling with that one... Well, here's a suggestion. You can have xbiff point at different files. For instance, I have the various FreeBSD lists procmail'd to different folders, so I have a script that does the following: xbiff -geometry blah & xbiff -file /home/fullermd/mail/f-questions -geometry blah ... So, if you run xbiff as root, and point it at the user's mail file. This doesn't notify you, but it will beep on your screen. I would bet that there'd be some way to do this with procmail; execute a script of some sort when mail appears... *shrug* My $0.02. The xbiff would still be sitting there staring at you whenever you got back to the computer; that's the advantage. I have 6 xbiffs on my screen at the moment... ;-) Hope it helps!! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 2 22:26:55 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA01931 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Feb 1998 22:26:55 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from quackerjack.cc.vt.edu (quackerjack.cc.vt.edu [198.82.160.250]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id WAA01923 for ; Mon, 2 Feb 1998 22:26:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rostewa2@vt.edu) Received: from sable.cc.vt.edu (sable.cc.vt.edu [128.173.16.30]) by quackerjack.cc.vt.edu (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA14721 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 01:28:59 -0500 (EST) Received: from vt.edu (rostewa2.campus.vt.edu [198.82.96.185]) by sable.cc.vt.edu (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA01348 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 01:26:45 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <34D67266.83211CD9@vt.edu> Date: Tue, 03 Feb 1998 01:27:02 +0000 From: Brandon Stewart X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: How to get c-math library functions to work Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" I cannot get the various goodies in math.h to work.

More to the point... I want to use PHP on FreeBSD to talk to MS-SQL. Sybase has released a free Linux ct-lib binary that will work with MS-SQL as well as Sybase. Compiling PHP to support Sybase and MS-SQL with that library would (presumably) require linking with it. Is this anywhere near the realm of possibility, or should I look elsewhere for a solution?

The aic driver correctly probes and identifies the card and then correctly identifies the attached device. I have tried both a fujitsu disk and an exebyte 8200 configured for id 6, and in both cases the device is activated by the driver, i.e. the activitiy light comes on, but it never completes a single I/O operation. Eventually it times out with messages like the following: Feb 3 01:09:40 sol /kernel: sd0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 3 01:11:20 sol /kernel: sd0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 3 01:13:00 sol /kernel: sd0(aic0:6:0): timed out - or - Feb 2 23:47:46 sol /kernel: st0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 2 23:49:26 sol /kernel: st0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 2 23:51:06 sol /kernel: st0(aic0:6:0): timed out Are there any known problems with the aic driver and this card?

Well, you can ``make install'' to do the copying etc :-) Perhaps your modem isn't being very consistent (with the failure to ECHO). Are you trying things like ``ATZ'' and ``ATE1'' after typing ``term'' ? Regarding the select() error, I'm not sure where this is coming from.

We have decided to try the fpsetmask call in the math code and see how things work out. We haven't yet tried the patch to npx.h suggested by Donald Maddox but I'm wondering if any of you might be able give some more info on what the pros and cons might be of the fpsetmask solution versus the npx.h patch. What exactly does __BETTER_BDE_NPXCW__ do compared to a call to fpsetmask? I looked through the mail archives and haven't come up with any answers on my own.

When telnetting to an un-X-worthy 386 to check mail, how about this: The users have their mail forward (back to themselves and) to a dummy user. That works fine now. The dummy user then tries some tricks, as dummies do :-) sue@phoenix$ ls -l ~dummy/.forward ~dummy/notifysue -rw-rw-r-- 1 root dummy 32 Feb 3 17:58 /home/dummy/.forward -rwxr-xr-x 1 dummy dummy 44 Feb 3 18:36 /home/dummy/notifysue ~dummy/.forward contains: \dummy, "/home/dummy/notifysue" and ~dummy/notifysue contains: echo x | mail | mail -s "== New mail ==" sue Run manually, notifysue works a treat! But the .forward doesn't run it for some reason. The forward man page doesn't give away many details, but it does look like the above should have worked. -- Regards, -*Sue*- From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 3 00:59:41 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA21781 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 00:59:41 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from colossus.dyn.ml.org (dburr@206-18-112-208.la.inreach.net [206.18.112.208]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA21769 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 00:59:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dburr@colossus.dyn.ml.org) Received: (from dburr@localhost) by colossus.dyn.ml.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id BAA00685 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 01:00:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dburr) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.1 [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Tue, 03 Feb 1998 00:55:31 -0800 (PST) Organization: Starfleet Command From: Donald Burr To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Help!

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I have to reinstall Linux to finish a project that requires it. Since I have a spare SCSI disk in my machine (that isn't being used by anything), I thought this would be an easy task. Boy was I wrong! It seems that LILO has accidentally overwritten the boot sector on my FreeBSD disk! Now when I boot, I don't get my nice "boot:" prompt, in stead I get "LI" -- yes, to add insult to injury, LILO doesn't even work properly! My FreeBSD partition is, thankfully, intact. I was able to boot into it by grabbing my 2.2.5 boot floppy and entering "0:wd(0,a)kernel" at the boot prompt. All filesystems fsck'd and mount'd okay. But I'd like to get the FreeBSD boot loader back onto my IDE disk, where it belongs! But I don't know how to do this. My root disk is a **DANGEROUSLY DEDICATED** 3.2 GB Maxtor (DiamondMax) drive. Naturally, FreeBSD is the only OS that is occupying it. This is drive 0 on the primary IDE controller (wd0). My system also has a Seagate 1.0 GB drive as master on the secondary IDE (wd2) [Win95 is installed on this beast]. And I have a old Conner 500 MB SCSI disk on my SCSI bus (Adaptec AHA-2940AU) (sd0). Can anyone help? Please respond by email if possible. Thanks! as master on the secondary IDE (wd2) [Win95 is installed on this beast].

SysV and M$ also only send 4 pings by default. If I think this should be standard in FreeBSD, how do I change the standard? I mean, where, and who do I have to persuade to put this into the main distribution. Is there a mailing list for discussing such changes? The reason: I have often started a ping in one window, jumped to watch ppp in another, only to discover half an hour (or later) that the ping is still pinging and keeping the line open.

The mailing list is FreeBSD-hackers@FreeBSD.org, and you join in the same way as you joined this list. I don't think you have a bat's chance in hell of getting this change through. Just because System V does it doesn't mean that BSD people will think it good. The fact that Microsoft does it is probably enough reason in itself not to follow their example. But I think the best reason will be that most people, in this case including myself, prefer it the way it is. Don't let my opinion stop you from trying, though. > The reason: I have often started a ping in one window, jumped to > watch ppp in another, only to discover half an hour (or later) that > the ping is still pinging and keeping the line open. How about this script, called ping: #!/bin/sh ping -c 4 $* In addition, there is, of course, no reason why you shouldn't run your own modified version of ping. But persuading the community of what appear to be gratuitous changes is a very difficult thing.

It's the plug and play bit that worries me, because I have to run some dodge DOS utililty (CTCM.EXE) to configure the card before DOS games can see it. Will FreeBSD realise that it's PNP and configure it automatically?

You can probably do all this using procmail. `formail' (which is part of the procmail package) will pull out arbitrary bits of header, which sounds like it's more or less what you want. Alternatively if you want more detail, you can set a pipe which will feed the header and/or the body of a message into a script, which you can then mung and forward to yourself.

I downloaded the new PPP, made the changes to the sources, compiled, installed and as soon as I get a dump, I'll send it to you, uuencoded. I'm using a Cyrix 486DX4-100, 24Mb RAM, USR sportster 33.6K on sio1, generic 3 buttons mouse on sio0, they are on UART 16550 on board, my motherboard is PCI. This is my ppp.conf: default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 115200 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ1 OK-AT-OK \\dATD\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set phone 3778294:3773641 set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: (snip) word: (snip)" set timeout 0 This is my ppp.linkup default: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR I use the original ppp.conf.filter except I changed the ISP's IP to my ISP's and added my news server. I also use the generic ppp.deny and my custom ppp.secret and ppp.shell. And I also renamed *.sample to sample.*.

Had this myself a while back. Here's the answer I got from Travis (thanks again, wherever you are) : [snip] The "-ERR POP EOF" messages are caused by Netscape Mail when it checks for mail and there is none waiting. I guess Netscape Mail says "FINE" and hangs up quite prematurely/rudely ;) Travis -- -=--==--===---====----======------=======------- TerraNovaNet Internet Services - Key Largo, FL Voice: (305)453-4011 Fax: (305)451-5991 http://www.TerraNova.net -------=======------======----====---===--==--=- Always remember that you are unique.

I use GRUB as boot loader and have the problem, that GRUB does not know of the the FreeBSD filesystem (It's new I guess). I installed the kernel on a Linux disk and I'm able to boot this kernel .. the problem is (of course) that it can't mount it's root device. So how can I set the rootdevice into the kernel image or which argument I can give to kernel?

I have a hard drive on my primary master with MS-DOS 6.22/Windows 3.11 installed, a CD-ROM on my primary slave and a hard drive on my secondary master with Linux Red Hat 5.0 installed. I am wondering if FreeBSD could be install on a hard drive which is the secondary slave? Also, can it be installed on a hard drive above cylinder 1024? Linux claims that this may not work (as does FreeBSD), however it does work just fine. Linux installs without complaining. The boot loader called "LILO" installs with a warning, but seems to work just fine. Has this been tried with FreeBSD? Also, is this a function of my BIOS? Another question ... about changing shells. What is the proper way to change shells? I was using FreeBSD 2.2.2 and the command "chsh". I was trying to change from csh to bash. However, after I changed shells, none of the bash startup files seemed to work. My path was not properly defined, now did my prompt work as it was supposed. One more question. Is it worthwhile to upgrade to FreeBSD 2.2.5 from 2.2.2? I found some things with 2.2.2 that I didn't like, such as the documentation, and I was wondering whether the improvements are big enough to warrant buying the new 2.2.5 CD's. Please let me know your opinion. Thanks for you prompt help. The times that I have sent questions here, they are always answered quickly and with great info. Keep up the great work!

Yes, I suspected there must be some way to adjust the floating point exception policy on the system. Guessing that it was some kind of system-wide policy I checked "man sysctl" and then guessing that it was a run-time policy I checked "man math" but got no cross-reference to fpsetmask. It seems like the best place for a cross-reference would be in the math manpage (sysctl was a wild-ass-guess on my part). The fpsetmask call is actually a very important thing to know about and one area where the FreeBSD team should be quite proud. As a programmer, it's great to have this kind of control over how these exceptions are handled. After learning about this call I'm convinced that the system default of trapping the exception and stopping execution is the correct system-wide policy (it is conducive to the writing of good code in general).

If we have 'cpu "I386_CPU"', then compile the fnclex(), otherwise do not compile fnclex(). #if defined(I386_CPU) fnclex(); #endif From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 3 09:29:44 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA29901 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 09:29:44 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from kzin.student.umd.edu (kzin.student.umd.edu [129.2.156.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA29882 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 09:29:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bargle@kzin.student.umd.edu) Received: from kzin.student.umd.edu (kzin.student.umd.edu [129.2.156.134]) by kzin.student.umd.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA07580; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 12:29:12 -0500 (EST) Date: Tue, 3 Feb 1998 12:29:11 -0500 (EST) From: "Gary L.

Ahh, sorry, my mistake--I didn't realize this feature existed (has been added recently?). So I can assume I dont need 'options IPDIVERT' in the kernel, do I also not need 'options IPFIREWALL'? The manual isn't too clear about if I need this or not... I'd assume neither, from the way its worded.

I'm using an older version of PPP and every once in a blue moon it dies. (upgrade, I know but dont have the time at the moment) So I want a small script to run oh say every fe hours or something and check to see if ppp is up. If not run it. I wrote this little thing: #!/bin/sh ps ax | grep -v grep | grep -q city if ( test $? -eq 0 ) then echo "found" else echo "not found" echo "running ppp..." ppp -auto -alias city fi It works as far as I can tell. While testing it I was grepping for the word ppp and even if ppp was not running it would return "found". But as soon as I grepped for city instead it works and runs ppp fine. I use bash and the above if-then-else was from a book on shell programming. Is this a "right" way to do this? thanks, Keith From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 3 12:38:30 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA29117 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 12:38:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from iconmail.bellatlantic.net (iconmail.bellatlantic.net [199.173.162.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA29106 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 12:38:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dmm125@bellatlantic.net) Received: from myname.my.domain (client201-122-3.bellatlantic.net [151.201.122.3]) by iconmail.bellatlantic.net (IConNet Sendmail) with SMTP id PAA18148 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 15:38:24 -0500 (EST) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Date: Tue, 3 Feb 1998 15:37:31 +0000 (GMT) From: Donn Miller X-Sender: dmm125@myname.my.domain To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: question about ppp & dynamic IP Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" I use ppp with an ISP that assigns dynamic IP addresses. What IP address should I use for my machine? It seems 127.0.0.1 should be used, i.e.: 127.0.0.1 localhost.my.domain localhost 127.0.0.1 myname.my.domain myname before I had: 10.0.0.1 myname.my.domain myname ^^^^ The one shown here (10.0.0.1) was causing problems with fetchmail -- it gave me gethostbyname failed for myname.my.domain. But I sort of read between the lines in the handbook that 10.0.0.1 should be used in the case of dynamic IP allocation. But it caused problems with fetchmail, so I changed it to 127.0.0.1. I thought this was wrong at first because I figured that the same IP address couldn't be used for more than one entry in /etc/hosts file. I thought that maybe the handbook could be revised a little to point this out.

Have the line: config kernel root on wd2 in your kernel config, OR: 2. Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other parameters unchanged).

The number you are want to watch is this one: 32/194 mbuf clusters in use Those numbers should never get closer than 3/4 of the total mubs in the system. I can't find the system default number, but you can set it using `options "NMBCLUSTERS=xxx"' in your kernel config.

Well, I'm certainly no expert in this area, but I think the only real difference between using fpsetmask vs. __BETTER_BDE_NPXCW__ would be that the former would only affect the program that called it, while the latter, since it is compiled into the kernel, would make this behavior the default for all programs. If you want to run preexisting code without FBSD-specific patches, I would use __BETTER_BDE_NPXCW__.

Ramírez Pérez Bobby You have to have Xwindows installed on your computer to start with. Xwindows is available as a FreeBSD port/package on your cdrom or via ftp. First read 'man xdm' and 'man startx' and 'man X'. Xwindows can be started by these command lines as root: $ xdm or $ startx I personally use xdm. You will also need a .xinitrc (for startx) or .xsession (for xdm) file in your home directory depending on the method you use to start X. This file should specify at a bare minimum your choice of window manager. An xterm is also highly desired at least until you get things figured out. If you get really stuck you can type CtrlAltF1 to get back to your console. If you get really, really stuck you can explicitly kill Xwindows by typing CtrlAltBackspace. This is only a very brief answer to get you started in the right direction. I had to read the man pages over and over again (and post to this list) before I got it all figured out.

[stuff] If the dialin user is running an SMTP server (like FreeBSD boxes with sendmail), no additional action is necessary on your part. An MX record pointing back to your host will alow the mail to queue on your end and not get stuck in queues on the sender if the person isn't dialed in. Otherwise, if they're Windows machines, you'll have to add MX records to point all of your hosts at your mailserver and set up a usertable to map the root@kronos -> kronos@splash.ru or whatever you want.

You want Dyanmic DNS, which is still prototypical. You might be able to obtain the necessary bits from ml.org, as they are doing this now.

Is this basically meaningless? Yes. Don't worry about geometry to start with. You can help the situation by putting a small DOS slice on the disk to relay the proper geometry to sysinstall, then delete the slice or use dedicated mode as you like.

Currently, only FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT supports SMPs. -CURRENT is a system which is still under development, and which is not as stable as 2.2. I can't say whether it supports your particular board. Try signing up for FreeBSD-smp if you're interested and prepared to put up with problems from time to time.

Whenever I start conection on my modem (it's on sio1) while X is running X starts slurping up 50% of CPU time,and the system slows down considerably. This happens for instance as soon as I start seyon, or when ppp starts making an automatic connection. As soon as seyon, ppp, or whatever stops using the modem, X drops back to a modest few % of CPU time. I have no idea how to identify the cause of this problem. It doesn't seem to be a hardware problem; when using the modem in Window'95 there is no slow-down of the system. Can anybody give me a hint? Much obliged.

It will probably never be available in the 2.X releases as they lack certain architectural support for it. -- Jonathan From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 3 17:10:19 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA12213 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 17:10:19 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from chong.ihug.co.nz (root@chong.ihug.co.nz [203.29.160.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA12075 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 17:09:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from marki@ihug.co.nz) Received: from evileye.ihug.co.nz (p46-max20.auck.ihug.co.nz [207.212.240.110]) by chong.ihug.co.nz (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA01887 for ; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 14:09:36 +1300 Message-Id: <199802040109.OAA01887@chong.ihug.co.nz> From: "Mark Ibell" To: Subject: pppd/ip-up Date: Wed, 4 Feb 1998 14:10:08 +1300 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" Hi, I'm running 2.2.5R and can't seem to get pppd to execute either /etc/ppp/ip-up or /etc/ppp/ip-down.

Here's what pstat -T returned right now; my modem dropped the connection about 15 minutes ago: 66/360 files 429 vnodes 3M/26M swap space When I'm online, this changes to: 72/360 files 430 vnodes 3M/26M swap space What do you think? Another strange thing to note occurs during startup, where I get a message: ed1 (my ethernet card) failed to clear shared memory at d8000. Would this have something to do with the problem?

The code in /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/Makefile seems to depend on header files elsewhere in the /usr/src hierarchy. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the source code that has all its .c & .h files in one distribution. I'd like to try it out on Solaris? Thanks.

If you want to use it you'll need to use the -current branch, which often isn't guaranteed to be as stable as -stable.

Big question. (IMO) 1. Change the root password weekly, or every couple of days. 2. Disable the r* services, don't let people do that to you. 3. Shadow the password file(Can you do that in FreeBSD? I wonder) 4. Run a password cracking utility on YOUR own password file(NEVER on someone else's without their written permission) Make sure your users don't have simple passwords. Even the best security on a password file cannot prevent someone else from getting the file. 5. Check out http://www.rootshell.com/ and find everything you can. 6. Diallow rlogin and rsh and the other r* services. 7. Runs COPS(a port is available) and SATAN(SANTA for those who find it offensive) 8. Become Paranoid. Perhaps I overdid it a bit, but I am paranoid without running a server(yet).

This monitor will do 1024x768 in (yuck) Win95. I do realize this is a RTFM question, but the problem is I'm not confident in setting this up with all the warnings I keep seeing about how I can blow up the monitor with the wrong setup. As it is now, I'm using the S3 server, in 1024x768 using the SVGA 1024x768 interlace monitor selection in the Xfree86 config program. Only problem is, at the very top of the monitor, about 1/4 of an inch is "warped", which I'm assuming means I don't have the scan rates right. I need to fix this, obviously. I'm hoping someone out there can tell me the numbers to put in, in the Graphical Xfree86 config program in the monitors tab. If there is any other information I need to know, I could use that too. Thanks so much for any help anyone can provide. Now that I have FreeBSD config'd and have Xfree86 running with AfterStep, it's a pretty sight. If I could just get this monitor problem worked out, I'd feel a lot better. - Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 3 20:17:21 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA08339 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 20:17:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from jjsoft.jjsoft.com (jahanur.intur.net [206.97.149.64]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA08285 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 20:16:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jahanur@ns.jjsoft.com) Received: from localhost (jahanur@localhost) by jjsoft (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id AAA01803 for ; Mon, 2 Feb 1998 00:45:23 -0600 (CST) Date: Mon, 2 Feb 1998 00:45:23 -0600 (CST) From: jahanur To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: ver 2.2.2 r Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" Dear Sir, I am trying to make my freebsd machine a server, router and a gateway for other machines in my small local network. I have never used FreeBsd before but I am familier with Linux SlackWare . I was wondering where is the sysconfig file. I could not find it in the /etc directory nor anywhere in the system. I have installed it twice so far . I am pretty sure I have configured the ed0 when I was installing the network software. Another question is that What do I need to upgrade my 2.2.2r to 2.2.5r. I have allready went to your ftp site to down load it, but the thing is that I dont know what files to download in order to upgrade. Could you please help me as soon as possible.

You can also use cvsup and then a make world or something. I've never done this so if I were you I'd check the handbook and other people.

You can use Netscape for FreeBSD with XFree86 installed. Probably the book would be best, it was never created as a user-friendly interface, but it doesn't bite. Remember the man pages(man for help on that ) Fortunately,(And Unfortunately, for the purposes of testing a site in all browsers) there is no IE for any form of unix(There better not be, if there is someone tell me) Basically, FreeBSD is made off the shelf as a server, you can disable the httpd and all the other servers if it is going to be used as just a computer. I never did and it still works better than Win95. Remember, all software is made for Win95 these days, well, most of it. If I were you I'd use both, it can be a great place to work, but there aren't many games on it, although there are some good ones. (Anyone else want to play FreeCiv? :P) Any more questions? Post them to the list and/or to me. The list is MUCH better than I am though. -bahwi email- bahwi@technologist.com ICQ Name: bahwi UIN: 3328936 iChat Name: bahwi -EOF From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 3 21:05:28 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA14411 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 21:05:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.bc.rogers.wave.ca (mail.bc.rogers.wave.ca [24.113.32.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA14396 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 21:05:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mib@rogers.wave.ca) Received: from leia.ns.rogers.wave.ca ([24.113.53.151]) by mail.bc.rogers.wave.ca with SMTP id <336639-15351>; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 00:04:21 -0500 Date: Tue, 3 Feb 1998 21:03:46 -0800 (PST) From: Richard Broza X-Sender: mib@leia.ns.rogers.wave.ca To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Help, I Hate MICROSOFT !!!

Hmm.. well, I do allow telnet access to my machine, not public access mind you, but several friends of mine do have accounts, most with root access. As such, I dont find it necessary to keep up on every exploit that comes along (I find out about them anyhow, but I am usually slow at patches). But keeping up on exploits is a must in a public-access situation. Another good idea is to set up sshd (secure shell) while this wont secure telnetd, it will allow those users with an ssh client to access the system in a more secure way. I'd also set up OPIE, and set it so that either a password or an OPIE response is valid from anywhere, again, this way for users with an OPIE calculator, the system can be accessed in a secure way. One other thing, make sure you set your printing and sound card attributes correctly.. there is nothing more annoying than something like this: tr '\0' '\f' < /dev/zero | lpr cat /usr/bin/* > /dev/audio Michael J.

If one of the drives crash, how would I remedy the crash? The drives I currently have are different sizes, would this cause a problem when using ccd? I'm trying to figure out some kind of cheap backup system for my system. I currently have a 5GB and a 6GB IDE drive and have about 4GB of free space (I could clear about 5.5GB if necessary). Is ccd the way to go?

With respect to getting files via ftp: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE If you get the entire directory that will surely cover it. To get the entire directory 'ftp> get 2.2.5-RELEASE.tar'. The ftpd will tar it all up and send it to you. This is pretty neat but probably time consuming. Fetching the '/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/src' will get you the "base" distribution, including kernel sources, bin and sbin. With respect to doing the upgrade: You can use '$ /stand/sysinstall' to effect an upgrade. Be sure to read all the warnings and back up important configuration files. You could also just wipe out your disc and start from scratch. :) I have done this a couple times but I only recently migrated from the MS camp. Hey, I didn't know. Unix provides a better alternative. You can also track the "stable" development branch using cvsup to keep your source tree always on the leading edge of stable FreeBSD development. This is not really upgrading per se, but it is related. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook233.html#489 http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/upgrade/upgrade.html Hope this helps, Jason Wells From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 3 21:28:22 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA18184 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 21:28:22 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from jason05.u.washington.edu (root@jason05.u.washington.edu [140.142.78.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA18176 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 21:28:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jcwells@u.washington.edu) Received: from saul4.u.washington.edu (root@saul4.u.washington.edu [140.142.83.2]) by jason05.u.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW97.07/8.8.4+UW97.05) with ESMTP id VAA37922 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 21:28:17 -0800 Received: from s8-37-26.student.washington.edu (S8-37-26.student.washington.edu [128.208.37.26]) by saul4.u.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW97.07/8.8.4+UW97.04) with SMTP id VAA21426 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 21:28:16 -0800 (PST) Date: Tue, 3 Feb 1998 21:28:07 -0800 (PST) From: "Jason C.

Literally hundreds of weird and wonderful services. So far, I've trimmed it to : [snip] # - Sure that I need : ftp-data 20/tcp #File Transfer [Default Data] ftp-data 20/udp #File Transfer [Default Data] ftp 21/tcp #File Transfer [Control] ftp 21/udp #File Transfer [Control] telnet 23/tcp telnet 23/udp smtp 25/tcp mail #Simple Mail Transfer smtp 25/udp mail #Simple Mail Transfer http 80/tcp www www-http #World Wide Web HTTP poppassd 106/tcp pop2 109/tcp postoffice #Post Office Protocol - Version 2 pop3 110/tcp #Post Office Protocol - Version 3 # - Use on some of our machines : #domain 53/tcp #Domain Name Server #domain 53/udp #Domain Name Server # - Not sure but keeping just in case : tcpmux 1/tcp #TCP Port Service Multiplexer tcpmux 1/udp #TCP Port Service Multiplexer echo 7/tcp echo 7/udp systat 11/tcp users #Active Users systat 11/udp users #Active Users daytime 13/tcp daytime 13/udp nameserver 42/tcp name #Host Name Server nameserver 42/udp name #Host Name Server auth 113/tcp ident tap #Authentication Service syslog 514/udp router 520/udp route routed [/snip] and I'm a bit wary of removing something that has other services dependent upon it. (All my Digital Unix boxes tend to keep echo/daytime and a few others.) But for a standard webserver, and mailserver for multiple domains, (with telnet/ftp access for myself) is there anything else that should be removed ? (or worse, anything that shouldn't have been culled) And my minimalist /etc/inetd.conf is : [snip] # - Kept from the default installation : ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd # Added : pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper poppassd stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/poppassd poppassd # - Default installation services which I've disabled : # shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rshd rshd # login stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rlogind rlogind # uucpd stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/uucpd uucpd # finger stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/libexec/fingerd fingerd -s # comsat dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/comsat comsat # ntalk dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/ntalkd ntalkd # - Not sure if they can be disabled too : discard stream tcp nowait root internal discard dgram udp wait root internal chargen stream tcp nowait root internal daytime stream tcp nowait root internal time stream tcp nowait root internal echo stream tcp nowait root internal [snip] Would disabling discard,chargen,daytime,time have any adverse effects on other services ? chas From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 3 22:00:04 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA21529 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 22:00:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from wfdutilgw.ml.com (wfdutilf01.ml.com [206.3.74.31]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA21483 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 21:59:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ash@fxsing.ml.com) Received: from ml1.ml.com ([199.201.57.130]) by wfdutilgw.ml.com (8.8.7/8.8.7/MLgwo-3.05) with ESMTP id AAA05929 for ; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 00:57:11 -0500 (EST) Received: from tekkie.sg.ml.com (fxsg3.sg.ml.com [131.208.182.28]) by ml1.ml.com (8.8.7/8.8.7/MLml4-2.08) with ESMTP id AAA04776 for ; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 00:59:10 -0500 (EST) Received: from rachel.fxsing.ml.com (rachel.sg.ml.com [131.208.182.50]) by tekkie.sg.ml.com (8.8.7/8.8.7/MLdomain4-2.07) with SMTP id NAA28483 for ; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 13:59:07 +0800 (SST) Received: by rachel.fxsing.ml.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA11660; Wed, 4 Feb 98 13:59:07 SST From: ash@fxsing.ml.com (Ash Yadav) Message-Id: <9802040559.AA11660@rachel.fxsing.ml.com> Subject: PPP to 2 different locations.

Hmm.. interesting problem. The way I'd solve it today (prior to a flood of other neat solutions from the people on the group, and assuming I understand your setup) is to do this... I'd set up the terminals to launch "telnet -e '' otherhost" instead of getty. Maybe a small C program would be needed to wait for a carriage return or something, then launch telnet. Heck, you could even do this with ssh instead, to lend security and/or compression to the system. I'd be very surprised if there is not some sort of replacement for getty that will wait for carriage return or carrier detect or some other signal and then launch an arbitrary command.

The way I did it was to add another controller line to my kernel config file: controller wdc2 at isa? port "IO_WD3" bio irq 10 vector wdintr disk wd4 at wdc2 drive 0 Where the IDE on my soundcard uses irq 10. This will work after you hack at some of the header files. You need to add the following line to /sys/i386/isa/isa.h: #define IO_WD3 0x168 /* IDE CD-ROM controller on the SB */ Where 0x168 is the address of my IDE port on my soundcard. I think there may be another file or two you'll need to edit before this'll compile smoothly. It should be fairly obvious, just try to make it and see what file gives you an error.

The card is referenced in the supported card but it does not seem to work. My machine is an Olivetti ECHOS P90S. The card is "APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter" and is recognized by pccardd at the boot but then I get the following message : Feb 4 10:25:08 annie pccardd[34]: driver allocation failed for Adaptec, Inc. (Device not configured) I have tried different config index port adress and irq's but with no result. Contrarily to what is mentionned in the supported cards and pccard.conf by default my card (as shown by pccardc dumpcis) should have an IRQ 4 or 5 (pccard.conf says IRQ 10). If it helps this is the pccard dumpcis messages : Configuration data for card in slot 1 Tuple #1, code = 0x1 (Common memory descriptor), length = 3 000: 00 00 ff Common memory device information: Device number 1, type No device, WPS = OFF Speed = No speed, Memory block size = 512b, 1 units Tuple #2, code = 0x17 (Attribute memory descriptor), length = 3 000: 12 00 ff Attribute memory device information: Device number 1, type Mask ROM, WPS = OFF Speed = 200nS, Memory block size = 512b, 1 units Tuple #3, code = 0x15 (Version 1 info), length = 57 000: 04 01 41 64 61 70 74 65 63 2c 20 49 6e 63 2e 00 010: 41 50 41 2d 31 34 36 30 20 53 43 53 49 20 48 6f 020: 73 74 20 41 64 61 70 74 65 72 00 56 65 72 73 69 030: 6f 6e 20 30 2e 30 31 00 ff Version = 4.1, Manuf = [Adaptec, Inc.],card vers = [APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter] Addit. info = [Version 0.01],[] Tuple #4, code = 0x20 (Manufacturer ID), length = 4 000: 2f 01 02 00 PCMCIA ID = 0x12f, OEM ID = 0x2 Tuple #5, code = 0x1a (Configuration map), length = 5 000: 01 08 00 20 01 Reg len = 2, config register addr = 0x2000, last config = 0x8 Registers: X------- Tuple #6, code = 0x1b (Configuration entry), length = 15 000: c9 01 19 49 55 65 06 ca 60 40 03 1f 30 00 1e Config index = 0x9(default) Interface byte = 0x1 (I/O) Vcc pwr: Nominal operating supply voltage: 5 x 1V Continuous supply current: 6 x 10mA Power down supply current: 1 x 100mA Card decodes 10 address lines, limited 8/16 Bit I/O I/O address # 1: block start = 0x340 block length = 0x20 IRQ modes: Level IRQs: 4 5 Tuple #7, code = 0x1b (Configuration entry), length = 7 000: 08 08 ca 60 40 01 1f Config index = 0x8 Card decodes 10 address lines, limited 8/16 Bit I/O I/O address # 1: block start = 0x140 block length = 0x20 Tuple #8, code = 0x14 (No link), length = 0 Tuple #9, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0 Thanks for your help Annie Robin From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 4 01:46:51 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA21298 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 01:46:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from righi.df.unibo.it (RIGHI.DF.UNIBO.IT [137.204.49.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA21293 for ; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 01:46:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from admin@righi.df.unibo.it) Received: from localhost (admin@localhost) by righi.df.unibo.it (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id LAA00382; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 11:44:26 GMT (envelope-from admin@righi.df.unibo.it) Date: Wed, 4 Feb 1998 11:44:17 +0000 (GMT) From: The Administrator To: nik@iii.co.uk cc: captain , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: LAND and FOOF In-Reply-To: <19980204093220.02791@iii.co.uk> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" You absolutely do not need to install the stable version of 2.2.5 release. For example I could not remake it because I have not space to do it. So I protected myself from hackers attacks (Expecially from land program) installing a firewall with these rules /sbin/ipfw -q add deny all from 137.204.49.17 to 137.204.49.17 /sbin/ipfw -q add allow all from any to any to protect your system against land you must disable packets from your host to your host, my host is 137.204.49.17 then I Also installed tcpd wrapper daemon it is very useful to debug attacks to your system and to have a control on acess to your system. You can restrict logins for certain domains using tcpd. tcpd is in the precompiled packages so it is very simple to install. bye Rick On Wed, 4 Feb 1998 nik@iii.co.uk wrote: > On Tue, Feb 03, 1998 at 01:51:38PM -0800, captain wrote: > > I would like to get more information on how to protect my servers from > > these types of attacks.

I have to install from floppy in this case. I have copied all the files under the /bin directory on the ftp site and have my boot floppy. All goes well until it asks what package I want. For instance I choose minimum, then it asks for a floppy to be inserted. When I insert the floppy it looks at it and gives me the following message. "Couldn't extract the following distributions. This may be because they were not available on the installation media you've chosen. bin" the installation then quits. The floppy has been formatted under DOS and the files downloaded in BIN mode.

I used the 3Com utility to program the card. I reprogrammed the cards last night to use the RJ45 ports and hooked both up to a 8-port hub. It appears that nothing is going out over the wires. Also, when I rebooted last night, the ep probe complained about the card being in "Plug and Play" mode but the 3Com utility still shows the card with PnP disabled. I put in a different card, reprogrammed, and still nothing is going out the RJ45 port. I specified the "link0 link1" flags in the ifconfig in rc.conf. Also, when rebooting my system hung when it was attempting to bring up the ep0 interface. I rebooted again and after all the fsck stuff (blah!) it came up again. I should also mention that before trying the hub, I tried using 2 different crossover cables on the RJ45 ports with the same results (or lack thereof). With the RJ45 port I now only see Opkts with no collisions or Oerrs in the netstat -I output. With the BNC port, every outgoing packet resulted in an Oerr and a collision. Any other ideas?

Sure, you can do this, it's just not an automatic thing. I do this often. I have one modem line, so I have to do this manually. I have two files, /etc/resolv.foo and /etc/resolv.bar, that I link to /etc/resolv.conf at the appropriate time, depending whether I want to talk to foo or bar. I have multiple stanzas in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, and when I want to talk to the other site, I kill ppp and restart it with the other stanza. This obviously is a very manual process. If you have multiple modem lines, then you just need to run ppp on each, and somehow combine the nameserver entries into a single /etc/resolv.conf, but it doesn't sound pretty. -Dave From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 4 06:19:07 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA22723 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 06:19:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from germanium.xtalwind.net (germanium.xtalwind.net [205.160.242.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA22681 for ; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 06:19:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jack@germanium.xtalwind.net) Received: from localhost (jack@localhost) by germanium.xtalwind.net (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id JAA16160; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 09:18:38 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 4 Feb 1998 09:18:37 -0500 (EST) From: jack To: chas cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: why must POP clients have a resolvable IP ? what about dynamic IPs ?

The LAND bug is solved by getting the -stable version of sys/netinet/tcp_input.c from ftp.freebsd.org. the F00F fix for FreeBSD-2.2.5-RELEASE requires patches to the files sys/i386/i386/identcpu.c, sys/i386/i386/machdep.c, sys/i386/i386/trap.c.

I have mountd started with the -n flag, but no host in the exports file is allowed to mount the filesystem specified without root priviliges. I have tired the following clients: FreeBSD 2.2.5 Solaris 2.6 And neither works with a non-root mount. If I su and execute the same mount command on the client it works. I checked the FAQ, gnats listing, and mailing list archives, and I didn't see anything about this. I can't believe that a bug this noticable would go unreported for this long, so I'm guessing that I'm missing something obvious. Anyone have any clues? Thanks. -- Amy Rich Oceanwave Consulting, Inc.

Oops... Seriously, erm - You will need to nuke the drive, and during the install process it will get re-partitioned and formatted as ufs etc. - If it's a 1.2gb drive make sure the root filesystem (/) starts and ends within the first 1024 cylinders, or you could end up with boot problems... I don't beleive you can install FreeBSD onto an MS-DOS / FAT filesystem etc. unlike linux...

This should only be specified if there are clients such as PC's, that require it. It will automatically clear the vfs.nfs.nfs_privport sysctl flag, which controls if the kernel will accept nfs re- quests form reserved ports only. This specific case is a cluster of NCDs that need to mount their config directories. It works under other operating systems (BSD and SysV), just not this version of FreeBSD that I've tried. Based on the man page, I would say this is a bug. -- Amy Rich Oceanwave Consulting, Inc.

What is at SCSI ID 6? You're not confusing this message with the messages for the Seagate are you? You don't tell us what is at SCSI ID 6; it apparently doesn't support wide transfers. Go into Adaptec SCSI Select Utilities and disable wide negotiation for this device. Some older devices choke when negotiating wide transfers, so if you're having problems getting SCSI ID 6 recognized by the kernel, disable wide negotiation.

If you have not done so already, add these lines to your XF86Config within the monitor section. BandWidth 47 # MHz HorizSync 30-36 # kHz VertRefresh 48-62 # Hz These are actually quite conservative numbers, but they should protect your monitor from damage. Consult your monitor manual for exact numbers. Most modern monitors are "multisyncs." If yours is, you need not worry much about setting monitor timings exactly. When using xvidtune, I suggest you start X as root with as little running as possible. If your monitor should freak out at any point, just hit the 'r' key to restore the initial settings. If that fails, turn off your monitor; hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace; wait 10 seconds; and turn your monitor back on. You should be returned to text mode. Have you browsed www.xfree86.org yet?

Unfortunately, there is not /etc/fstab because these aren't UNIX machines that I'm trying to mount to; they're NCDs. The NCDs can mount files off of a BSDI machine configured exactly the same way but can't mount the FreeBSD filesystems. If I run tcpdump on the FreeBSD machine when I try to read a file from the NCD, I can see four udp packets but the NCD claims that permission is denied to the file (And the permissions on the files and all directories leading to the files are world readable, I checked). The only thing I can come up with is a mountd problem. Other suggestions? -- Amy Rich Oceanwave Consulting, Inc.

So I'm resending it. Apologies if you have seen this before. ] I have to reinstall Linux to finish a project that requires it. Since I have a spare SCSI disk in my machine (that isn't being used by anything), I thought this would be an easy task. Boy was I wrong! It seems that LILO has accidentally overwritten the boot sector on my FreeBSD disk! Now when I boot, I don't get my nice "boot:" prompt, in stead I get "LI" -- yes, to add insult to injury, LILO doesn't even work properly! My FreeBSD partition is, thankfully, intact. I was able to boot into it by grabbing my 2.2.5 boot floppy and entering "0:wd(0,a)kernel" at the boot: prompt. All filesystems fsck'd and mount'd okay. But I'd like to get the FreeBSD boot loader back onto my IDE disk, where it belongs! But I don't know how to do this. My root disk is a **DANGEROUSLY DEDICATED** 3.2 GB Maxtor (DiamondMax) drive. Naturally, FreeBSD is the only OS that is occupying it. This is drive 0 on the primary IDE controller (wd0). My system also has a Seagate 1.0 GB drive as master on the secondary IDE (wd2) [Win95 is installed on this beast]. And I have a old Conner 500 MB SCSI disk on my SCSI bus (Adaptec AHA-2940AU) (sd0).

I don't know if routed is that smart. -s mode makes it listen only, so it is probably taking a neutral standpoint. Your network depicted below is static enough to not require routed. Simply add default routes on all your clients to point to your router R and configure BSD2 as necessary to properly route/bridge packets between the subnets.

You can't link Linux libs in a FreeBSD binary but you could build a LInux binary using the linux lib and use the emulator to run it. I think the port name is linux-devel, in category devel.

I don't know about the Canon, but the HPs will process carriage returns DOS-style, so you get the stairstep effect unless you send an escape code to change the mode first. I believe that code is in the printing section of the Handbook. I'd hate to waste an 855C on plain text; it's a fast color printer. We have one on our home machine and it cooks. One of the better HPs of the post-500C era. If the Canon doesn't stairstep and is sufficiently fast for you I'd suggest it.

Dedicated disks use the disklabel as the boot sector; you're lucky you didn't hose the disklabel in the process!

You have to rebuild the kernel with the digi or dg0 driver, I can't remember name, but it is supported. See /sys/i386/conf/LINT. Also see `man sio' for how to set up the devices.

Are there any souls out there kind enough to help a novice who's looked at the FAQ and Handbook, but still not understanding? (I'm coming from an intermediate Linux user/admin background, so you shouldn't have to handhold too much, I hope.) Here's seven questions, bugs, gripes, or misunderstandings that I'm having. 1) A few days ago, (Saturday, Jan 31, 1998) I followed the directions on the FreeBSD home page which fetched the 2.2.5-RELEASE boot disk. This loaded an out-of-date ports collection. Should this page be changed? (The FAQ mentions RELEASE, CURRENT, and STABLE, but only discusses CURRENT and STABLE.) 2) Dual boot doesn't detect Win95. Worked fine with Linux. Layout: Primary IDE Master: 1081 MB hard disk, FreeBSD, BootEasy (formerly Slackware Linux, LILO) Primary IDE Slave: Empty Secondary IDE Master: 2441 MB hard disk, Win95 Secondary IDE Slave: CD-ROM At least that's what I THOUGHT it was. After fiddling a bit, I am now able to mount the msdos partitions, though unlike Linux, I didn't see anything about VFAT long filename support. Here's my current fstab: _______________________________________________________________________________ # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/wd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/wd0s1e /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/wd2s1 /DOS/C msdos rw 0 0 /dev/wd2s2 /DOS/D msdos rw 0 0 /dev/wcd0c /CDROM cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 ______________________________________________________________________________ I confess to some confusion over how I should set the geometry. (When telling FreeBSD install to use the entire disk with the geometry that was specified in the BIOS, (2097/16/63) it appeared to actually use the whole disk. (This geometry also appeared in the early boot messages during the install -- before I ever set any geometry.) When leaving the geometry set to FreeBSD's best guess which is what Linux and pfdisk liked, (524/64/63) it appeared to only use part of the disk. Full specs on the 1081 MB disk I'm using can be found at: ftp://ftp.seagate.com/techsupport/st31081a.txt or http://www.seagate.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?/at/st31081.txt I didn't screw with the other disk at all, since it has a fully functional Win95 sitting on it, and I saw no need for FreeBSD to break something that was working. 3) When connecting via a multiplexer (DECserver/Vista) over a phone line the username is accepted, but the password seems to ignore the carriage return. The system waits forever for the password to be entered. (It seems that typing (^J) directly gets around this problem. But that's ugly!) 4) When telnetting to my Linux host, the system correctly translates IP name to IP numeric address, tells me it's connected, and then immediately says "Connection closed by foreign host". Telnetting from FreeBSD to other machines is fine, as is telnetting to the Linux machine from anything other than the FreeBSD machine. (Is this some authentication thing that I turned on during the install? Can I correct things without reinstalling?) 5) When telnetting anywhere, it never seems to get the terminal emulation right, though I thought I had forced it to do that. Related issue: The kernel LINT config file, and the handbook say "Enable this and PCVT_FREEBSD" with regards to vt220 emulation. I take it PCVT_FREEBSD is an options line that I should include? (Also, where can I get an idea what the standard SCO console is like? Is it worse? Better? Merely different? Can I have both vt0 and sc0?) P.S. I recompiled with sc0 off and vt0 on, but am having a whole different set of emulation problems. (/stand/sysinstall now goes nuts sending the ANSI escape sequences to the screen and making a mess. Other programs exhibit similar behavior.) 6) Recompilation of kernel lost the JAZ drive (and never got me the audio (SB) support.) How important is the order of the lines in the kernel config file? I tried to arrange mine in what I thought was a logical order: generic options cpu stuff controller drive drive controller/drive options controller drive drive controller/drive options ... Recompiling with the order that LINT uses got the JAZ drive back, but I'm still stuck with no sound. P'n'P problem??? I don't want to turn it off if I can avoid it. 7) STUPID IDEA: Why does chsh do so much more than it should and badly? It should just change the shell, not bring up an editor. I decided to change the sell of my root account. It not only displayed the shell, but a password line. I hadn't set my password yet at that point, so I attempted to set it from the chsh command. It proceeded to store the UNENCRYPTED password in master.passwd (and god knows where else). Please HELP!

You can, but you'll have a heck of a time booting it since your BIOS only recognies the first two IDE disks for booting purposes.

If you install the PnP patches, then the card will configure up. Or wait for 2.2.6, it will have PnP support (yay!). In any case, you'll probably need the new sound driver; contact multimedia@freebsd.org.

There may be a couple things to look at. Do you mean that the resolution is wrong? To change resolution you may simply enter CtrlAlt(+ or -) to change resolution. Do you mean that there is a portion of your display extends beyond the edge of your screen which you cannot see? If part of your screen is "hanging off the edge" you may have to do one of two things. First. You may have to change a setting in '/etc/XF86Config'. The virtual setting may be causing you trouble. Section "Screen" Driver "vga2" Device "Generic VGA" Monitor "Supercom" Subsection "Display" Modes "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 Virtual 800 600 <=============== right here EndSubsection EndSection In the example I have shown the screen resolution will be 640x480. The virtual setting (800 600) is larger that the screen. Part of the virtual screen will "hang off the edge." This is not necessarily bad, Just annoying. To get rid of this delete the line with the virtual setting or change the "Virtual" setting to be the same as the "Modes" setting. Second. Use a window manager that allows you to use the extra part that is hanging off the edge. This is called the "virtual desktop." Fvwm2 is one such window manager. With a window manager like this you move your mouse to the edge of your screen and the screen scrolls to the left/right or up/down to allow you to see the part that was hanging off. __ __ / 0\ / 0\ Have fun, ) Jason Wells )-------( Wannabe Sysadmin \_____/ From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 4 11:06:06 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA15733 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 11:06:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ammi.mclink.it (ammi.mclink.it [195.110.128.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA15649 for ; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 11:05:44 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from masotti@mclink.it) Received: from IRIS (net133-144.mclink.it [195.110.133.144]) by ammi.mclink.it (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA13340; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 20:05:11 +0100 (MET) Message-ID: <34D8A516.41C6@mclink.it> Date: Wed, 04 Feb 1998 18:27:50 +0100 From: Marco Masotti X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04Gold (X11; I; IRIX 6.3 IP32) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Doug White CC: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Digiboard PC/8E support References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" Doug White wrote: > > You have to rebuild the kernel with the digi or dg0 driver, I can't > remember name, but it is supported. See /sys/i386/conf/LINT. Also Dear Doug, I just ask you further whether you eventually could help me finding the hardware installation guide for this card (the .pdf file), that's basically my major problem - Jumpers and switch programming - even if that in my original question was not very clear. Truly, the card I got has been claimed to be a PC/8E, although it has a "DBI" word written on it, plus just the serial number. In the Digiboard web site, I retrieved documentation for the PC/X cards (a variant without the "e", which looks a physically different card (typically the PC/X is significantly longer, mine is shorter) Thanks and best rgds - Marco From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 4 11:13:07 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA16990 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 11:13:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cplkagan.globaleyes.net (cplkagan.midwest.net [204.248.41.142]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA16960 for ; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 11:12:53 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from parrothd@midwest.net) Received: from parrothd.houselan.net (parrothd [10.10.0.10]) by cplkagan.globaleyes.net (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id NAA03787; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 13:12:35 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19980204131802.007b42b0@midwest.net> X-Sender: parrothd@midwest.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Wed, 04 Feb 1998 13:18:02 -0600 To: jeh@anubis.network.com (Jeff Henning), freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG (FreeBSD Questions) From: "Jonathan E.

Then I would move both cards to dufferent slots, set the IRQ's and I/O address to somethine else like IRQ 5 I/O 280, make those changes in the visual mode of the kernel editor.

Ah, I think I understand your confusion. This is for NFS mounts, right? As a security measure, an NFS server will normally only allow mount requests that come from reserved port on the client. A reserve port is one with a port number < 1024. Some PCNFS implementations send their (legitimate) requests from a port that's > 1023, which is the wrong thing to do. The -n flag is a work around for the NFS *server* to let it allow these requests. It is not a mechanism to allow non-root users to mount local devices onto the filesystem. I've either just explained stuff you already know (in which case, sorry) or cleared up a point of confusion. Hope it's the latter.

The NCDs are trying to mount an exported directory and fail with the error "Permission Denied." Mountd on the server is running with the -n flag but doesn't appear to be servicing the mount requests. If I have a BSDI machine set up exactly the same way, the NCD is quite happy to mount the exported filesystems. For some reason, the FreeBSD machine is denying the NCDs mount permission. At least that's what I think I've narrowed it down to (I checked all of the actual file permissions, which are fine). -- Amy Rich Oceanwave Consulting, Inc.

I just want to check if ppp is running if not then run it. Though I think I see what it does. It kills ppp and any other process's it spawned. If ppp was not running at the time, killall would fail and then run the next statement. But what if ppp is running? Killall would kill ppp then (now I'm guessing here) since it killed it it says done killed, but then ppp will not be running cause killall was successful so the next statement does not get executed.

Yes, it's not permitted. CCD must use homogenous disks. Recovering a mirrored disk involves bringing over a disklabel and fixing some other bits. It's not a seamless recovery, but the data is still there.

Sounds like a job for screen. Screen allows you to run multiple sessions on a single terminal, so you run your favorite term program to watch all the tty's, and detach those sessions, so you can hop between each tty and interact as needed.

With raw output, the printer won't finish the last page of a text document; it waits for more input. The formfeed ejects the page and finishes the job, otherwise the printer sits there for a few minutes waiting for more.

I have a US Robotics 56K X2 modem. every two through thirty minutes my connection dies. The modem does not disconnect, but nothing at goes up or down the line. It did this with Winbloze PPP, and I thought it was software. It is now doing this with FBSD PPP. There is another computer in my house, on the same phone line, same jack, US Robotics 28.8 modem, and it has never had this problem. I have switched phone chords, switched jacks in the Y connector leading in to the jack, and none of this has done anything. Does anyone know why this is happening, I trust this list far more than I do Dell tech support, so if anyone knows about or has had this problem a response would be great. -Spike Gronim sporkl@dti.net "I gonna wave my freak flag high." --Jimmi Jendrix From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 4 13:22:04 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA12997 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 13:22:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA12880 for ; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 13:21:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id NAA16036; Wed, 4 Feb 1998 13:21:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Wed, 4 Feb 1998 13:21:45 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: defragmented cc: support@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: mouse In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" On Wed, 4 Feb 1998, defragmented wrote: > > My mouse will not cut and paste in 2.2.5 I got the cdrom from > walnut creek. also lynx is missing and a few other things > Is this a defective cdrom or just missed lynx? > > The mouse works fine other then cutting and pasting.

Unfortunately it only mentioned that OpenBSD was implementing it. It slightly hinted that FreeBSD may have it soon, but no timeframe or release number (2.2.5? 3.0? 3.0+?) I am definitely interested in the "Soft Update" enhancemnet to the filesystem. I would like to know its availability or current state of development. Also, since soft updates tend to delay "writes", on a critical failure (system crash, panic, power outage), what provisions of data integrity have been implemented? Is an intent log written out? Has fsck changed? If it is not in FreeBSD, can some one direct me to more information?

Sounds like tcp wrappers are on on the Linux box and your FreeBSD machine is blocked out.

Eg. I need to modify the source for the vx (3com Etherlink 3c905) driver to support the new 3c905B NIC. Do I use cvsup? (I don't know how to use this). Can someone explain to me?

Nothing fancy; no flags: /usr host1 host2 host3 host4 host5 host6 host7.domain.com The NCD is host7.domain.com, where domain.com is different from the server's domain (which shouldn't make any difference). The only other oddity that I can thing of is that host7 has DNS entries in _both_ domains, a CNAME in the server's domain and an A name in domain.com. showmount -e shows it exported to the correct domain, though. And, to make sure that wasn't the problem, I had all both domains and an unqualified entry in there at one point.

Awhile ago I was experimenting with GRUB (0.4 I think) and it worked for FreeBSD almost "out of the box". The one problem it had was difficulty in dealing with the "have one or more IDE disks and want to boot FreeBSD from a SCSI disk" problem. More recent versions of FreeBSD can deal with this at boottime, but back in the FreeBSD 2.1.5 days, I made a quick hack to GRUB to solve this problem, based on some of the code in the boot loader.

You could fix this by putting the users that do this in your own DNS server. I have done this on occasion, but most ISPs are competenent enough to do reverse DNS.

That seems fine, but shouldn't it know that one of those parameters is not plain-text (even if it only shows that parameter to root)? If it doesn't, can't it at least avoid that parameter alltogether?

It's for mappings between port numbers and service names only. It has nothing do to with services you currently run. That's the job of inetd (/etc/inetd.conf) and /etc/rc.* (for running standalone services). Removing lines from /etc/services buys you nothing but trouble.

I finally determined the problem had something to do with "Dangerously Dedicated". As soon as I went to a non-dedicated disk and re-installed (for the *sigh* 4th time) and it was able to install without any problems. This is a suggestion for the FAQ/Install manual people: Put the not to the problem with some award bios' into the install document. And you may just reccomend the non-dangerous install since it is only a few cylinders anyways. Again, thanks for all the help with this !

I'm using my AWE64G under -current, but it should work just fine for you, if you install Luigi Rizzo's PnP code (See http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/). After you build a patched kernel, boot with -c to bring up the configuration screen, then enter: # pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5 port1 0x330 port2 0x388 # pnp 1 1 os enable port0 0x208 # pnp 1 2 os enable port0 0x620 port1 0xa20 port2 0xe20 Line 1 configure sb, sbmidi, and opl; line 2 configures the gameport; line 3 configures the AWE synth.

"rlogin" works, as does "ncftp". And the connection was fine when both machines were Linux. The IP names and addresses have remained the same, as has my /etc/hosts. However, I have not restored most of my other /etc files... Does the tcp wrappers theory still hold up with that evidence?

I'm not familiar with the entire procedure but someone probably > figured it out at some point and posted about it :) A while ago, I had this problem. One of my mirrored disks produced more and more read errors until it effectively stopped working. All I had to do was to reconfig ccd to use only one disk as a "mirrored" ccd disk. After replacing the defective one with a new (much larger :-) one, I simply made a partition of the size (same number of blocks in disklabel) as the old one and copied with `dd' the first ccd disk (actually only the ccd-partition, of course) to the new partition. (Copying etc. was done with the ccd filesystem unmounted and not ccdconfig'd, of course.) Then, all I had to do was to ccdconfig and mount again. (not to forget to tell ccd in ccd.conf to use both disks again. :-) BTW, a question: I understand that for mirroring ccd writes data on both disks "simultaneously". But what about reading ? Will it catch inconsistencies between the two disks ?

It's probably worth a test, at least :-) It should be pretty good, the linuxulator only translates the syscalls and library calls as necessary, otherwise it falls through to the normal system.

Try upgrading ppp to the one on http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/userppp.html and/or try running `disable lqr'. Massive modem errors will kill the lqr queries, and if they go away for too long a time ppp kills the connection.

This book is incredibly good and is not _too_ advanced for a novice. (At least not in all aspects) The Complete FreeBSD excels at addressing DOS users issues and initiating the newest of unix users. The Essential System Administrator provides many "insights" into unix computing and the "unix way." If you have to choose get Complete FreeBSD first. If you have lots of cash by the OReilly book too.

So on my Irix systems the /var/adm/SYSLOG gets sprayed with those nasty messages. For some reason I haven't seen them on my FreeBSD system... but then it servers a different group, most have static entries in /etc/hosts. Was also thinking FreeBSD's /etc/syslogd.conf may be filtering these messages. I haven't changed it since 2.1.5 or 2.2.0 and have been upgrading via "make world". The solution for Irix was to find the offensive line in popper's source code and bracket it with an "#ifndef sgi .... #endif". The alternative was about 500 entries in /etc/hosts or running my own name server. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

I'm trying to install PGP on my Unix account with little success. I have an account on a dial-up FREEBSD Unix system (just a user) and first tried to install the Unix flavor of PGP262. I noticed the FREEBSD system was not listed in their makefile, so I ran across your port. I mkdired a pgp directory and put both pgp262s.zip and your makefile. Unfortunately, the makefile reports that it can't find it and goes out on the ftp for it (which is tricky because of a fluke with this system and PGP's export laws). I'm also afraid that your makefile will try and set PGP for the system instead of in my local directory structure. Any help or guidance you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Rebooting seems to solve the problem for a few days, then it myseteriously comes back. We get this message when we telnet in, or when we try to ftp. (The ftp will not work, as a result. The telnet will.) Any suggestions: The error is: inetd in realloc(): warning: junk pointer, too low to make sense.

I know that =>Linux has a RT version of their stuff, but I don't want to have to learn =>how to manage a linux box when FreeBSD makes it so much easier.. My first question is what do you mean by "real time" capability? Here are some possible options: 1) you want data which is manipulated by one user to be seen right away by another user; 2) you want things happening now, as opposed to at some time in the future; 3) your processes depend upon data arriving in a deterministic way every time. The first two options are what some people call "soft" real-time. I've been able to manipulate/contort many versions of un*x, including FreeBSD into handling soft-real-time quite easily. Number three is where some of the purists will probably part ways with me. I can accept a hard-real-time definition which takes time constraints into consideration. The pure definition has nothing to do with time, only the arrival of data happening in a deterministic fashion -- and, of course, on time. I focus more on the "on-time" aspect. I figure if there is a, say, +/- 30% variance from the average, and I can handle the data arriving at 130% of the average, then I'm a happy guy. The fact that the system isn't exactly deterministic in nature, coupled with what many of the purists would call a totally unacceptable variance, don't cause me any grief. So (and this is why I have gone to the trouble of explaining the above), *I* find FreeBSD capable of handling my hard-real-time application as well. FreeBSD has the capability of manipulating the priority of a process so it can hog as much of the system as it needs, which is what I exploit. Your mileage will vary. This brings me to the second question: what is it you want to do? Or, put another way, what are your real needs? Armed with that tidbit of data, I might be able to help more.

Once you're confident the changes won't kill everyone's computers, submit your diffs using the send-pr utility or web form, or posting to bugs@freebsd.org. 5. Backport to 2.2.x if desired. If you run into questions/problems consult hackers@freebsd.org. I recommend subscribing to either the digest or set up a mailfilter to pipe hackers mail to another folder (hackers is a high-volume list).

Well, the telnetd on your Linux box seems to be having trouble communicating with the one on your FreeBSD machine, either being blocked by a firewall or filter, or some odd interaction (which I've never heard of).

It's the default and it works. For the termcap, you have to convert it to terminfo format, then point some environment variable at the directory in order to pick up the additional info.

If tcp wrappers are running, then the command line for telnetd in the linux server's inetd.conf will be tcpd telnetd tcpd logs all connections and can optionally block connections from specified machines. It's a good security thing to run, esp. on an unsecure protocol such as telnet.

What part are you talking about with the award bios? This depends a lot on your setup. My boot disk is running standard mode but my extra 2G is dangerously dedicated and the world is a happy place. I did run into trouble when I was playing with an IDE disk in dangerously dedicated mode; I had a note to the effect of `no dedicated boot disks' in the diskformat tutorial, but Greg Lemis encouraged me to remove the ref, so I did. Perhaps a YMMV is appropriate.

SC_SPASH_SCREEN is for the splashkit support -- a way to display a graphical logo on the text console during startup a la Windows 95.

And so on. But what does the editing of /etc/services buy you in extra security? Just start the services you want. What isn't started in inetd is started somewhere in rc.local or /usr/local/etc/rc.d somewhere. I don't see any more logic in this than there would be in removing keyboard mappings, manpages, or info files.

This happens to a fraction of the users and unfortunately I don't know a solution offhand. The last suggestion was to check `netstat -m' and see how many mbuf clusters are in use and the max value. If the max is within 3/4 of the total maxiumum (default 255?) then you need to increase the number by compiling your kernel with `options NMBCLUSTERS=XXXX'. Something is running out of memory or is leaking memory.

If you need the port to ``find'' the proper archive, drop it into /usr/ports/distfiles. The port stays in the local heirarchy unless you run `make install'. You might be able to hack the port Makefile to specify a new ${PREFIX} to install to. Your system administrator may be happy to install this for you; PGP is generally a good thing, if you can get around the ITAR restrictions.

FreeBSD can't install from extended partitions. If you are installing by copying files from DOS, make sure you put the files on drive C: or any other primary paritition type.

Monty (the MySQL guy) got it to go on a 2.2.5-RELEASE box. Here's some of his comments: Has anyone a explanation for this? I have tested MySQL 3.21.22 and 3.21.23 on a 'FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE i86pc' without any problems. The above is an link error that shouldn't be MySQL releated (There is no symbol __error in the MySQL source). Can you find from where this symbol orginates ? (Problably some header file in /usr/include). There is also a possibility that your gcc include files are wrong! (This is a common source of grief with gcc on Solaris) Check that the include files in the gcc-lib directory is from FreeBSD 2.2.2 and not from an earlier FreeBSD version! It's of possible that your c++ doesn't work properly! If your c++ is g++, then it may help if you use the above configure line. The difference between using gcc and g++ in compiling C++ code is that gcc doesn't depend on the libstdc++ library. Start talking about symbols, linkers, and g++ problems, and I'm lost. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there anyone that would like to partner up with Monty to help out with future releases? He seems to develop primarily for Linux and Solaris, so the FBSD version usually lags a bit.

Saldy I didn't do a good enough job of specifying what I wanted to do, hence I'll restate my question by including a bit more info. I work at a lab here at the university of maryland which is involved in the design of a space robot. In order for this robot to function properly, we have to be able to run a function at a constant rate. Since this rate plays back into the algorithm itself, it is important that this loop stay at a constant 200 hz. The accuracy of this loop must be within a percent or so. The original question was wether FreeBSD had some sort of way to make sure that this loop rate stays constant over time. Most Real Time implementation that I have seen actually use the clock interupt as a method of triggering these functions, thus making the system fairly deterministic. How hard would this be to implement on FreeBSD?? I've thought of using the alarm signals, but I am unsure of the latency involved with signals, as well as the accuracy of the clock it uses. thanks again!

All terminal devices are expected to run in the C locale, unless otherwise specified by the user -- just as all terminal devices are expected to behave as dumb tty's, unless otherwise specified by the user. In either case, the user does their specifying with environment variables. One might wish for an explicit locale specification mechanism in /etc/ttys, just as terminal types may be specified there. NOTE: Your use of the TERM environment variable to "know" the terminal type of the device and therefore which termcap entry to use is limited to the fact that there is an explicit mapping of device to line; the rest of your environment comes in via an environment passing mechanism, for pty devices accessed by other programs. Unfortunately, there is no explicit locale mechanism in /etc/ttys; and even though there is *exactly* the same static mapping of the /etc/gettytab entries as there is TERM envirnment variable values, there is also no explicit locale mechanism in /etc/gettytab. Of course, there's a non-explicit locale mechanism in /etc/gettytab: set the environment variables using the "ev" property... Then you might want to set a vt220 initialization string the the vt220 termcap to place it in an NRCS mode (or download sixels for your chosen international character set), by overloading "im"... But then if you did all that, you might as well set the terminal type using the "tt" property, instead of putting it in /etc/ttys. And if all else fails, run a program other than /usr/bin/login to get everything set up (using the "lo" property... man ttys man gettytab 8-).

We have to do 8086 assembly for my assembly class (don't go to SJSU, ever!) and while the professor himself uses Sparc, he makes class use DOS + MASM (MS Asm). I guess I could and try to run something like bochs to do dos emulation and then run MASM from it, but ideally I'd like to find an assembler that would run under FreeBSD and emulate 8086 instruction set. Or am I smoking crack? Any hints and clues are welcome. Thanks, -- Yan P.S. -- I tried "asl" from packages, but for some reason it didn't work. My understanding was that it can do 8086 emulation. No?

I needed to know the font (i.e. iso 8859-l1, cp 437, etc, etc) that the user's terminal was running. Looks like the _CLOSEST_ I can get without asking the user is to grab the line drawing and a few other symbols from the termcap. *sigh* This leaves much to be desired, since a lot isn't in the termcap, such as character accents and other similar things. The locale does not give me that information. All it tells me is the formatting of various standardized things such as tiem time, date, and currency. I guess you misunderstood my original question : I need to know how to find out what font (or "character set") the user has on their terminal. Looks like there isn't really any way of auto-detecting that. > All terminal devices are expected to run in the C locale, unless > otherwise specified by the user -- just as all terminal devices > are expected to behave as dumb tty's, unless otherwise specified > by the user. > > In either case, the user does their specifying with environment > variables. > > One might wish for an explicit locale specification mechanism in > /etc/ttys, just as terminal types may be specified there. > > NOTE: Your use of the TERM environment variable to "know" the > terminal type of the device and therefore which termcap entry to > use is limited to the fact that there is an explicit mapping of > device to line; the rest of your environment comes in via an > environment passing mechanism, for pty devices accessed by other > programs. > > Unfortunately, there is no explicit locale mechanism in /etc/ttys; > and even though there is *exactly* the same static mapping of the > /etc/gettytab entries as there is TERM envirnment variable values, > there is also no explicit locale mechanism in /etc/gettytab. > > Of course, there's a non-explicit locale mechanism in /etc/gettytab: > set the environment variables using the "ev" property... > > Then you might want to set a vt220 initialization string the the vt220 > termcap to place it in an NRCS mode (or download sixels for your > chosen international character set), by overloading "im"... > > But then if you did all that, you might as well set the terminal type > using the "tt" property, instead of putting it in /etc/ttys. > > And if all else fails, run a program other than /usr/bin/login to > get everything set up (using the "lo" property... > > man ttys > man gettytab > > 8-). > > > Terry Lambert > terry@lambert.org > --- > Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present > or previous employers. -- Jonathan Mini (j_mini@efn.org) "A child of five could understand this!

Another work around I use on my ISPs dumb shell host (BSDI 3.1) in .bashrc if [ "$TERM" = "cons25" ]; then export TERM=scoansi fi This gives better results than using VT100. Also, if you switch to the VT 2xx driver instead of the SCO driver, make sure you edit /etc/ttys. By default the local consoles are set to TERM=cons25.

For example "DEC_VT200_NRCS_SPAIN" for a 7 bit DEC vt220 using NRCS (National Replacement Character Set), Spanish language version. 4) Set the invented local, per #1, in the environment of the device pgysically attached to the line in /etc/ttys that matches the gettytab entry you created to set the locale. 5) man isprint The isprint function is guaranteed to tell you whether or not a given character is printable on the current device, which is in the specified locale. If you need ISO locales, use ISO locale names matching the devices capabilities. If you need cp437, use the cp437-to-Unicode and Unicode-to-WHATEVER tables at www.unicode.org to convert the charactersets. If "isprint" on all (howevermany) characters in the code page abomination you are using return "true", then the deive is capable of displaying in that "code page". This test and the associated overhead is the "sweat equity" you pay for using oddball "standards". The problem with defining things in Microsoft/IBM code pages instead of ISO standards is that you are unlikely to ever be able to find a serial terminal from a manufacturer other than Wyse and a few others (and even then, not all models, only a few) that support the abstraction. Whereas every terminal in Western Europe, unless it's a Wyse-60 or other oddball device, will conform to some ISO standard or another.

The mouse is on sio0. After some experimenting, if find that the combination of running X11 and 'cat /dev/ttyd1' is enough to cause the problem. 'top' shows that some 20% of run time is spent on interupts, and some 40% by X11. 'cat /dev/ttyd1' without X11 generates no interupts, and neither does X11 without 'cat /dev/ttyd1'. Clearly, the interupts are the source of the slowness of the system. Where they come from is a mistery to me; there is no data being recieved at that time. I start suspecting a hardware problem, like some cross talk between the com1 and com2 ports. However, in that case one would expect the same problems in Windows.

The installation made a custom kernel out of kernel.GENERIC and I' can't believe, that it is not possible to set the rootdev into that kernel (which boots) - or does the kernel use the device from which it is loaded as rootdev? In that case I really have to patch GRUB so it can load the kernel from the freebsd filesystem.

The sendmail >pages should have details on this. Is there a patch for ipop3d that would handle this so that users could pick up their mail using pop3 clients. There's a protocol (developed by Demon Internet) called SDPS which they created to handle this sort of problem and that's what I'm really looking for. If a user logs into the pop3 server with a username the same as their hostname they get all their e-mail (regardless of the user it was sent to at their domain), if they login with the format username+hostname they get only the mail for username@theirdomainname. Any ideas where I could get hold of the daemon / pointers on how to implement it? If I applied the sendmail patches I could quite easily write a pop3 daemon to serve the clients using the above format. Can I get sendmail to deliver mail for a domain into a mailbox in the format /var/mail/username.domain dependant upon the to: address? Also, I quite like qmail's way of putting mail into ~/mail, are there any patches for sendmail that do this?

If it's a linux binary, this looks a lot like a problem I've had before. See if you have a tmp directory hiding under /compat somewhere; if you do, make it a symbolic link to /tmp. Actually, you may be able to remove it. I've just checked two machines around here, and one (the one SO 3.? is on) has /compat/linux/tmp (which I've symlinked to /tmp), and the other (which has never had SO installed) doesn't have it. At any rate, SO is apparently saving the print file in what it thinks is /tmp but is actually /compat/linux/tmp, so lpr can't find it. Good luck. -- Richard Kuhns rjk@grauel.com PO Box 6249 Tel: (765)477-6000 \ 100 Sawmill Road x319 Lafayette, IN 47903 (800)489-4891 / From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 5 06:10:33 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA22922 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 06:10:33 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from bio.fsu.edu (bio.fsu.edu [128.186.38.55]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA22914 for ; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 06:10:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from astuy@bio.fsu.edu) Received: from alexpc.bio.fsu.edu (alexpc.bio.fsu.edu [128.186.38.199]) by bio.fsu.edu (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id IAA15469 for ; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 08:48:20 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.3.32.19980205084213.0069bc24@bio.fsu.edu> X-Sender: astuy@bio.fsu.edu X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.3 (32) Date: Thu, 05 Feb 1998 08:42:13 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Alexander Stuy Subject: year 2000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" Does FreeBSD have a year 2000 compliance statement somewhere? thanks, +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Alexander Stuy Senior Programmer/Analyst 221 Conradi Bldg Dept. of Biological Science Florida State University Tallahassee, Fl. 32306-2043 (904)644-1006 astuy@bio.fsu.edu http://bio.fsu.edu/htmls/alex.html +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 5 06:12:36 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA23320 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 06:12:36 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from jaka.isd.state.in.us (jaka.isd.state.in.us [206.158.11.68]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA23310 for ; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 06:12:32 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from klikes@isd.state.in.us) Received: from jaka.isd.state.in.us (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by jaka.isd.state.in.us (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id JAA12021 for ; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 09:11:48 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from klikes@isd.state.in.us) Message-Id: <199802051411.JAA12021@jaka.isd.state.in.us> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: ADMS and FreeBSD 2.2.5 Date: Thu, 05 Feb 1998 09:11:48 -0500 From: "Kevin T.

I found a message in the archives from (pcoyne@br-inc.com) which pointed me at a FAQ for running the SCO client on Linux and saying that he had gotten it working under FreeBSD 2.2.2. I did read the FAQ at sunsite, and have gotten all the devices created and the mnttab created; and have loaded the FreeBSD ibcs2. I'm hoping someone has gotten the client working under 2.2.5 and can point out what I need to do to fix the following: 1) When I try to run the GUI it just hangs there forever. Top says it in a state sndint, which I have never seen before. Waiting doesn't seem to help at all. I'm using fvwm if that makes a difference. 2) dsmc does run, and connects to the mainframe, but it won't inspect any files. This is even with my mount points listed in the options file. (It also wants to log in GMT rather than EST, but that is more of an annoyance than a problem.) Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Kevin T.

I've not put any other edXX devices in the kernel, just ed0, like so: device ed0 or device ed0 at pci? Any help greatly appreciated, have included dmesg and config file as attachments, other than these I've installed zsh and colorls on this box, so it's pretty standard and I've not messed with anything. steve Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.

Programs that read kernel memory (top, ps, w, all the LKMs, etc...) are sensitive to the layout of particular kernel data structures and thus are closely tied to the version of the kernel you are running. If any of the data structures change, these utilities need to be recompiled to pick up the new data layout. This is an unfortunate interface wart, but one that doesn't seem to going away anytime soon. The kernel structures have definitely changed between Jan-97 and Dec-97. If you don't want to do a full reinstall, I'd at suggest the easiest way to go about it would be to install the bin.dist from the corresponding SNAP. Make sure you have a copy of your /etc directory, I'm not sure if it gets clobbered or not. I don't believe that rest of the system needs to be reinstalled. -- Jonathan From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 5 09:37:12 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA22817 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 09:37:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from shiva.ee.siue.edu (shiva.ee.siue.edu [146.163.130.29]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA22796 for ; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 09:36:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ssuruli@shiva.ee.siue.edu) Received: from localhost (ssuruli@localhost) by shiva.ee.siue.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id LAA05145 for ; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 11:37:01 -0600 (CST) Date: Thu, 5 Feb 1998 11:37:01 -0600 (CST) From: SASIKUMAR SURULIRAJ To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: need for information!!

No, it's caused by running out of kernel VM. The system must be carefully tuned in order to run with that much memory. If you have bounce-buffers configured, take that out.

I'm the author of a game called "bog" that is apparently packaged with the FreeBSD and NetBSD software distributions. Legal counsel for Hasbro, Inc., the owner of the copyrights and trademarks for the BOGGLE (tm) line of games, has indicated that "bog" may violate their copyrights and trademarks and has asked that it be removed from circulation. I have therefore removed it from its original ftp site. Any web or ftp site possessing a copy of "bog" is likewise requested to withdraw it from circulation.

Feel free to harangue me privately, should you feel really strongly about my habit of editing /etc/services.

It's a text database, nothing more. For the same reason I remove large chunks of /bin/*, /sbin/*, the man pages for what is gone, /etc/sendmail.cf, the kernel sources after a recompile, etc. etc. etc. What isn't there can't be used against the system. True, there might not be any direct gains in security from removing man pages and editing services, and I admit this particular case is perhaps just an aesthetic issue. If a system is only firewalling or only serving web pages, I want it to be only capable of that function (modulo any administratively necessary functions, of course), and want everything not associated with that function gone. "All that is not permitted is forbidden", while admittedly bad social policy, is great security. (I'm less harsh to machines that more people access.) -j From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 5 11:07:10 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA08277 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 11:07:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from sdna2.ucsd.edu (sdna2.ucsd.edu [132.239.145.33]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA08233 for ; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 11:06:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mika@sdna2.ucsd.edu) Received: (from mika@localhost) by sdna2.ucsd.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA27887 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 11:06:58 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 5 Feb 1998 11:06:58 -0800 (PST) From: Mika Illouz Message-Id: <199802051906.LAA27887@sdna2.ucsd.edu> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" Hi I'm trying to use JDK 1.1.5 on FreeBSD.

In particular, does anyone know how to read 880-KB diskettes as written on an Amiga (esp. in Amiga's FFS)? Minor device numbers in FreeBSD do not allow for addition of a new density, and reference to the 10-sector format as "stressed" suggests that perhaps the PC architecture won't allow for an 11-sector format.

With a response like this, my work to build support for FreeBSD within the company is worthless; I will be forced to cast aside my investment in this OS, and redeploy all my work on other platforms whose vendors do recognize the Y2K problem. This, for the price of a simple note stating that the OS is Y2K compliant, or that users must apply certain patches to the core OS to be Y2K compliant. Previously, I had been a strong supporter of FreeBSD. This note is making me reconsider that. The advantages of FreeBSD aren't worth this level of arrogance and hubris. If I wanted a "tough sh*t" attitude, I could run Microsoft software. It's too bad that the FreeBSD "community made up of nothing of volunteers" doesn't feel the need to worry about their OS being acceptable to a business world concerned about losing everything on January 1, 2000. Apparently FreeBSD isn't "just like Linux," because I was able to find a Linux web site stating Y2K compliance levels .

I think I speak for everyone in the FreeBSD Community when I say that George does not necessarily speak for everyone in the FreeBSD Community. :) You bring up a very good point, and I think there SHOULD be a Y2K statement put on the freebsd.org site. (If there is one already, I couldn't find it.) Until such a page appears, the Linux page you found applies equally well for any 32-bit Unix (with the exception of a couple of Linux-specific libraries they mention).

In summary: using the 3com 3C589D, I can't get IP aliasing to work using the ep0 driver, whereas it works *perfectly* with the zp0 driver. I am running a home LAN with a FreeBSD 3.0-current (sources cvsup'd about Feb. 1st) server and FreeBSD RELENG_2_2 (cvsup'd Feb. 3rd) laptop client. My primary objective is ISDN access permitting the laptop to take advantage of the high speed serial port card on the server, as well as having backup drives and secondary compiler. On the laptop, I'm using the 3Com Etherlink III3C589D-TP card. I get very different, and in each case unsatisfactory results with either the zp0 or ep0 driver on the laptop. ^^^^^^^^^^ Under zp0, unless I have the gateway server connected to the net, sendmail and retrieving vi sessions jam on laptop startup until ^C (because it believes gateway is accessible?). Also, it take a couple of *minutes* to get a prompt back from server for a telnet session. (ftp and ping responses are immediate). *Suspending* a session and attempting to restart brings back the X-windows view, but my laptop is completely locked up (and, of course, you wouldn't expect the card to come back to life after it's powered down). A mount_nfs of either machine's drives works fine on the other. Most importantly, IP aliasing works under zp0, accomplishing my major objective. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Under ep0, curiously, I get an immediate response telnetting to the server. Suspending and restarting a session works fine, another major objective. A mount_nfs again works fine for either machine. However, for the life of me, *****I can't get IP aliasing to work*****. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For starters, ep0 does not seem properly ifconfig'd using the default values. This is how I've configured my rc.conf: pccard_enable="YES" # Set to YES if you want to configure PCCARD devices. pccard_mem="DEFAULT" # If pccard_enable=YES, this is card memory address. pccard_ifconfig="ep0" # Specialized pccard ethernet configuration (or NO). ... network_interfaces="lo0 ep0 zp0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loopback). ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. ifconfig_ep0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_zp0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" My pccard.conf entry is: # 3Com Etherlink III 3C589B, 3C589C card "3Com Corporation" "3C589D" config 0x1 "ep0" 10 insert echo 3Com Etherlink III inserted insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 link0 -link1 remove echo 3Com Etherlink III removed remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete I'm wondering if there's a problem with my ifconfig specification? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ With these settings, I get an ifconfig -a result that suggests ep0 was not properly configured: ep0: flags=a843 mtu 1500 ether 00:60:08:92:98:0f Something seems wrong with the /etc/pccard_ether script, which results in: # /etc/pccard_ether ep0 link0 -link1 ifconfig: ep0: bad value So, I issue a more complete ifconfig statement: ifconfig ep0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 link0 -link1 which results in the following ifconfig -a output: ep0: flags=9843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:60:08:92:98:0f This is the point where I make the observations above, about telnet, ping and ftp working fine to the server, but there's no IP aliasing. For comparison, this is the output of ifconfig -a for zp0 which follows immediately after bootup: zp0: flags=1843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:60:08:92:98:0f Subtle difference. I don't know how to interpret the presence of "MULTICAST" in the ep0 entry, or the meaning of the varying flags= numbers. As I said above, IP aliasing works like a charm. Here is some additional background. First, a show route under user PPP at the server level: PPP ON lsmarso> show route Destination Gateway Flags Netif default 166.84.0.124 UGSc tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH lo0 166.84.0.124 166.84.254.60 UH tun0 192.168.1/24 link#1 UC ed0 192.168.1.2 00:60:08:92:98:0f UHLW ed0 (That's before prompting the nameserver). Looks the same for zp0 and ep0. What else can I report? The message reported on startup of each respective driver: zp0: aui/bnc/utp address 00:60:08:92:98:0f vs. ep0: utp/bnc[*UTP*] address 00:60:08:92:98:0f Again, there's a difference there, but I don't know how to interpret it.

Through the course of my work day I access numerous remote machines using xterm 'through' ssh. I'm attempting to setup F8 to change the title 'on-the-fly' with a single key sequence instead of typing out: echo "^[]0;`hostname`^G" at the command line (BTW, I substituted '^[' for ESC and '^G' for ctrl-G in the above command, on the command line I use the correct control characters). Here's the problem. I can't seem to get the quoting correct for the xterm*VT100.translations entry for the command to work. As you can see in the above line I need double quotes surrounding the string sent to echo, I can't figure out how to get string() to accept more than 1 set of double quotes. Here's what I've tried: xterm*VT100.translations: #override\ F8: string("echo '^[]0;`hostname`^G'") string(0x0d) At work I used Solaris 5.x on a sparcstation 5 using X11R6.3. I use csh and most of the remote boxes also use csh. When I press F8, I get "unmatched ' " and the keyboard bell chimes (so I guess it's interpreting ^G as the bell???). Is there an easier way to accomplish what I want? BTW, I can't modify .cshrc on the remote boxes. I have tried using string() to send the hex values for the escape key, but that only seemed to echo the correct sequence to the display and would only chime the bell.

There are lots of messages here about the infamous "bus reset" lockup. I know that I can count on at least one of our servers locking up every day because of it. It's just so out of character for FreeBSD. Everything else is just fabulous, but this one part has had so many problems.

However, if the change the makefile, doing a "config GENERIC" (or config MYKERNEL - which is what I call the one where I make my changes), the makefile gets overwritten by one that is generated/copied. So my question is, which all files do I need to modify to incorporate some new C files in the /sys/netinet directory and compile them as a part of the kernel? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think for a statement like that to have any value, it would need to be backed up by a commercial organization. For that, Walnut Creek CDROM has been advertising that FreeBSD is Y2K compliant since at least last fall when it was stated on the Comdex show banners. The closest I can get to the statement you are asking for is "We believe, but cannot guarantee, that FreeBSD is Y2K compliant. We've spent a significant amount of time verifying this to be the case, but it is possible that something may have been overlooked.

One other advantage this has is that I get mails to me. For instance, this one. Two copies came for me; one from Jonathan to me, and one from Jonathan to -questions, which bounces out to me. One lists Jonathan in the From line, and the other lists owner-freebsd-questions. That way, any mails directed to me personally end up in my inbox, and anything from the list ends up in a different folder, so it's easier to keep track of things that involve me directly, like this mail. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 5 17:45:58 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA18555 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 17:45:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from jason05.u.washington.edu (root@jason05.u.washington.edu [140.142.78.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA18533; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 17:45:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jcwells@u.washington.edu) Received: from saul4.u.washington.edu (root@saul4.u.washington.edu [140.142.83.2]) by jason05.u.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW97.07/8.8.4+UW97.05) with ESMTP id RAA50834; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 17:45:30 -0800 Received: from s8-37-26.student.washington.edu (S8-37-26.student.washington.edu [128.208.37.26]) by saul4.u.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW97.07/8.8.4+UW97.04) with SMTP id RAA11446; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 17:45:29 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 5 Feb 1998 17:45:16 -0800 (PST) From: "Jason C.

I've been 'banging my head against a brick wall' trying to figure this out. I finally did figure out a solution shortly after submitting my request for help. The reason I think ISP's might be interested is if they manage more than one box using XFree86 and xterm. It can be quite convent to just hit 1 single key to update the xterm title to the hostname of the box they are currently working on, especially if they need to minimize more than one xterm (ie, if you're changing DNS entries on more than one DNS server). The solution is: ~/.Xdefaults: xterm*VT100.translations: #override\ NoneF8: string("echo \\"^V^[]0;`hostname`^V^G\\"") \ string(0x0d) \n\ In the above string, "^V^[" is produced with the following key sequence in vi "ctrl-v ctrl-v ctrl-v esc" and "^G" is produced with "ctrl-v ctrl-g". The \\ correctly escapes the inside set of double quotes. NOTE: I've only tried this with csh and derivatives (ie, tcsh) on both ends. NOTE: For whoever's interested, in the command above, 0 specifies the regular title and the minimized title; 2 will change only the regular title and 1 will change only the minimized title. I verified this works by ssh'ing into several remote accounts and pressing F8. It did what I wanted it to do. -burton- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 5 18:21:12 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA24519 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 18:21:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from awfulhak.org (awfulhak.demon.co.uk [158.152.17.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA24500 for ; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 18:20:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from brian@Awfulhak.org) Received: from gate.lan.awfulhak.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by awfulhak.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA07525 for ; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 19:58:49 GMT (envelope-from brian@gate.lan.awfulhak.org) Message-Id: <199802051958.TAA07525@awfulhak.org> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.1 12/23/97 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: natd isn't working?

The requirements are a bit different than the handbook examples, and I *think* I have most of it working, but if somebody could give me a quick sanity check, I'd appreciate it. User's requirement: Private line, owns modem I provide him with a static IP and name service (.100) He wants to call up with Win95 using PAP Network basics: Internet <-> FRAD <-> FBSD <-> User .1 .9 .100 I've enabled the kernel gateway option and added a tun0 device. I installed mgetty. The modem is connected to COM1. Most of the details of how I've configured it are from the handbook (more or less): ---- /etc/ttys cuaa0 "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty" unknown on insecure ---- /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.conf /AutoPPP/ - - /etc/ppp/ppp-pap-dialup ---- /etc/ppp/ppp-pap-dialup #!/bin/sh TTY=`tty` IDENT=`basename $TTY` exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct pap$IDENT ---- /etc/ppp/ppp/conf default: set Log phase lcp chat set timeout 0 set login papcuaa0: enable pap set ifaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.9 xxx.xxx.xxx.100 255.255.255.255 enable proxy enable passwdauth ---- /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup papcuaa0: add 0 0 HISADDR ---- Everything seems to be okay - the modem answers, PAP works and the user can ping anywhere and I can ping him from this network. The syslog entries, though, shows: Feb 5 17:41:52 Rigel routed[62]: IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP ALLHOSTS: Address already in use Feb 5 17:41:52 Rigel routed[62]: setsockopt(IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP RIP): Address already in use Feb 5 17:41:52 Rigel routed[62]: punt RTM_ADD without gateway Feb 5 18:04:15 Rigel routed[62]: interface tun0 to xxx.xxx.xxx.9 turned off I have no way of checking if the REST of the world will see the user's correct address, however - will this work? The other oddity is that I've enabled seperate logging, as: ---- /etc/syslog.conf !ppp *.* /var/log/ppp.log And that was working (found/fixed a lot of problems) except after I deleted the file - now all the info gets logged in the main message file instead. Creating a new /var/log/ppp.log by touching it results in it staying a 0-byte file. Killing PPP and/or restarting init seem to make no difference. How did I break the log?

It did what I wanted it to do. Sure, but it requires you to hit a key, and it takes away any other purpose that this key might have.

It would probably help others in my position if such a statement were put up on for easy retrieval. :) Robert Levandowski UNIX Systems Administrator ACC TeleCom robl@phoebe.accinet.net From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 5 19:17:19 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA07388 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 19:17:19 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mhv.net (root@spice.mhv.net [199.0.0.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA07149; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 19:16:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mgraffam@mhv.net) From: mgraffam@mhv.net Received: from localhost (qripto@port153.mhv.net [208.17.157.9]) by mhv.net (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA17332; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 22:16:42 -0500 Date: Thu, 5 Feb 1998 22:10:10 -0500 (EST) X-Sender: qripto@localhost To: "David E.

Good against prying eyes? Not if they have CBW. Portable? So is PGP. Export control isn't an issue with PGP either: versions exist everywhere, so getting a copy within one's own country isn't a problem, unless, perhaps, you live with Big Brother. But, in that case just email me and I'll send you a copy. I don't really care if Uncle Sam, or Big Brother has a problem with it. :) I can run pretty fast, and I have a pretty good left hook.

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5-release, USA. I am trying to make a one way hash to store my companies credit card numbers. I need to be able to verify a credit card but I don't want to store them in plain text. I need something similar to a password file for credit card numbers, that way I could hash the card being looked for and compare the hash values. Is MD5 a better choice than Crypt for this? Can I trust that the MD5 output will be unique for a given input (since the input will only be 12 to 16 characters, not huge files)? Also, is there a MD5 function like crypt() that I can call from inside my programs (C/C++)? I've poked around the man pages and the handbook, but I cannot find anything very specific.

Sure. Check my web page for rates. Of course, if you want it for free, you're going to have to tell me what the problem is. In fact, even if you pay, I'm probably going to have to ask. Check out http://www.lemis.com/questions.html for some suggestions about how to ask questions that people will want to answer.

I find it truly inexplicable that you would take the response from some random person on the mailing list and extrapolate all of this from it. I can only conclude that you must be having a bad day since your conclusions otherwise defy all logic and I honest don't know what to make of them. > This, for the price of a simple note stating that the OS is Y2K > compliant, or that users must apply certain patches to the core OS to be > Y2K compliant.

If you make such sweeping decisions based on so little input then I can honestly only conclude that we'd have found it impossible to work with you in any case, no matter how the question might have been answered to begin with.

What are your error messages. Why won't it compile? Do you have the full '/usr/src/sys' directory on your machine? >From the file you included it seems that you have missed a bit. The most glaring error is that you have options for four cpu types. You need only one of these entries. If you have a standard pentium use this. cpu "I586_CPU" Without knowing about your system it is very hard to know why your kernel won't compile. Send some error messages.

This is in '/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/KERNELNAME'. device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr ed0 being the driver for the card with your irq and port substituted for the ones in the example. This only answers part of your question relating to the network interface. There may be PCMCIA issues, but I don't know anything about these. You can read the LINT file in the same directory as your KERNEL file to find out more.

Si, te falta una cosa que se llama bpf (Berkeley Packet Filter). ?Quiero saber si tienes un kernel tuyo o tienes el kernel GENERIC? Si tienes un kernel tuyo, hay que escribir la linea pseudo-device bpfilter 4 #Berkeley packet filter en la configuracion del kernel (en /sys/i386/conf). Si non, tienes que hacer tu kernel privado. (Normalmente yo siempre hecho un kernel mio para cada computador individual.) Mira la fecha /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC para saber que hay en el kernel.GENERIC por ejemplo. En la fecha /sys/i386/conf/LINT tu vas encontrar todas las cosas posible para configurar. En la fecha LINT tambien hay la linea que he escrito arriba. Mira http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook37.html#39 para saber porque es mejor hacer un kernel privado. Quizas es mejor de utilizar una numero mas grande que 4. Yo tengo 4 para cada conexion a la red (4,8,12,...).

FreeBSD is a well-behaving operating system for serious applications, and thus the FreeBSD community shouldn't neglect questions like this.

Your kernel supports a lot of hardware you don't have, and it's just telling you what it found and what it didn't find. If you don't like it, you can build a custom kernel which supports exactly what you have. It will have the additional advantage of being fractionally smaller and booting faster (because it doesn't spend time looking for devices which aren't there).

So far I got the xntpd documentation and checked the README.refclocks file, but couldn't find a device that's similar to my clock-mouse. I hope somebody is using or somehow came across such a clock. here a short description of the protocol as a think the name clock-mouse is not sufficient to identify it: -it uses DCF77 as reference but can also use WWVB or MSF with some receiver modifications. -data transfer to pc: 300Bd,8,n,2 start of tx if txd=1 at begin of a second -format of data packets: 16byte hhmmssddmmyy any information appreciated (I want to avoid writing a new driver for xntpd, especially if somebody has done before...) cheers, roland From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 6 00:14:49 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA23996 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 00:14:49 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.aloha.com (root@leahi.aloha.com [206.127.224.94]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA23975 for ; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 00:14:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from knowtree@aloha.com) Received: from 209.84.67.146 (behemoth1-144.pixi.net [209.84.67.146]) by mail.aloha.com (8.8.7/8.8.7/PIXI-5.2) with SMTP id VAA16030 for ; Thu, 5 Feb 1998 21:47:49 -1000 (HST) Message-ID: <34DAC00F.5BE3@aloha.com> Date: Thu, 05 Feb 1998 21:47:27 -1000 From: Gary Dunn Reply-To: knowtree@aloha.com Organization: Knowledge Tree X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Macintosh; I; 68K) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions Subject: X color pallets Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" I got X working thanks to many of you. Special thanks for the pointers to kde, which is very cool. 1. When I run Netscape, xtacy, and some other apps they complain about not having access to colors. In all cases the fix involes allowing the app to alter the system pallet, so colors in all windows are affected. 2. In-line images displayed by kde's web widget and Netscape appear to be in 256 colors (or less!).

The question will only get asked more often, and a significant percentage of people who ask here state that they tried the www site first. That said, I would like to point out something that I think you're overlooking Rob. Several people had very useful replies to this thread that I think got lost in the penis waving. The operating system itself is 99.9% sure to not have Y2K problems, however, the APPLICATIONS you run on it may have problems. Your best bet is to do what the FreeBSD project did, and set up a machine running a recent version of -Stable some point in the future (past 2,000) and let it run for a while doing what you would have it be doing. You should also set up a machine 7-10 days before 12/31/99 and let it run your apps through the change and into *that* parallel future. My point is simply this. You can collect all the compliance statements you want, but when the fat is boiled away, it's your elbow that's going to be in a sling if the systems you design blow up. The FreeBSD project has taken things as far as they can, now it's up to you to make sure the OS is suitable for your environment.

But the solution is simple: edit the Makefile in readline/ so that it defines the C preprocessor symbol "UNDEF_THREADS_HACK" in addtition to the other symbols that are passed to the C compiler (for example by adding the string "-DUNDEF_THREADS_HACK" to CFLAGS). Then do a "make clean" in readline and recompile. -- Sascha Blank | "I prefer to work behind the scenes.

I did a complete reinstall of 2.2.5 and cvsupped up to -stable made new kernel etc all of this went well. here is my question. How the heck do i still have my users on my system? for instance i never created a user "vagner" on this system but i did on the old system, there is no directory /home/vagner but i can still log in to the system as vagner...and it creates the directory for me! this seems impossible unless usernames are stored on the net or something?

Unless the above has a typo, I'd start with: wdc is not equal to wcd My week-old understanding of FreeBSD is: wdc is the controller on which your non-SCSI disks and CD-ROM's sit, wcd is a generic ATAPI CD-ROM cdrom.

If you've got a permananent connection you can run it from cron. Actually, you can do that with dial up as well.

Date: Fri, 06 Feb 1998 08:35:42 -0500 From: "Brian J. McGovern" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" Actually Robert, what it shows is the confusion and paranoia that surrounds the issue. The media has hyped this problem well above and beyond the level needed for "normal concerns". Therefore, most people who understand the problem chuckle every time they hear it. After 2000-3000 requests, it just becomes another annoying "newbie" question to them, and the frustration rises another notch. Remember that you're mostly dealing with people that have a firm belief that if you use a computer, you should have SOME idea of what is happening. They probably also believe that if you drive a car, you should know how an Internal Combustion Engine works, at least in principle. I, also, am of that camp ;) To be honest, I can't remember an OS (and i'm sure someone is about to correct me) that WASNT Year 2K compliant. OSs claiming they're "Year 2000 compliant" is a marketing gimmick so you dump all your old stuff, and buy the new, improved version.... which, if you ever read a marking guide, "New" translates in to "Costs a lot more", and "Improved" translates in to "We changed the interface as to be unrecognizable to our older users. All the bugs and problems with the prior release are still there, however". The problem is in the software. If I take a vintage 1982 Cobol business application and run it on a Circa 1998 Pentium II 233 with any operating system off the shelf, it'll still break, because INSIDE THE PROGRAM, dates are stored in two digits. Its merely a left-over from when they didn't have 128MB of Ram and 9.7GB of disk space to play with. The people who need to worry are those who run older business applications that show a tendancy to store years as two-digit date codes (ie, if you have a program that naturally shows the last date you got paid, for instance, as 01/01/98). Most of these are in large business arenas (such as financial institutions, governments, etc) that have been too dependant or too cheap to replace aging applications with modern ones. In these cases, their wakeup calls are two years away. Otherwise, if you run a fairly modern office, there shouldn't be ANY problems unless you run this type of legacy software. Now, I'm hoping this doesn't come across as a "tough sh*t" replay. It isn't meant to be. Its merely an explanation of the problem, and why getting a Y2K "statement" from the FreeBSD core would be considered laughable at their end of the pipe. If you'd like, feel free to take this email to your boss as not only a statement that FreeBSD, the OS itself, will survive the Year 2000 roll-over, but also as an explanation of the problem, so that they understand it, and can thereby manage it far more effectively. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 6 05:54:39 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id FAA12433 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 05:54:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from sommer.dyn.ml.org (Modem039-Mankato.lakes.com [209.32.34.39]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id FAA12426 for ; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 05:54:32 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from child@prairie.lakes.com) Received: from jeremy (Child@child [192.168.0.1]) by sommer.dyn.ml.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id HAA15733 for ; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 07:56:54 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from child@prairie.lakes.com) Message-Id: <3.0.3.32.19980206075653.00b69314@192.168.0.10> X-Sender: child@192.168.0.10 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.3 (32) Date: Fri, 06 Feb 1998 07:56:53 -0600 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Child Subject: Re: PCMCIA In-Reply-To: <3.0.3.32.19980205231031.00cac8e4@192.168.0.10> References: <19980206144327.41798@freebie.lemis.com> <199802060326.WAA06688@r75h79.res.gatech.edu> <199802060326.WAA06688@r75h79.res.gatech.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" Hi All I am trying to get a NE200 compat PCMCIA going under 2.2.5-REL its a PINE ether card can someone give me some rough ideas how to set this up as it would be great to get it going the systyem has a 3com ep0 card in it and i want to ad this PCMCIA its a laptop :) thanks JS From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 6 06:08:52 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA13973 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 06:08:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from send1b.yahoomail.com (send1b.yahoomail.com [205.180.60.23]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id GAA13963 for ; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 06:08:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mmadio@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <19980206140831.11918.rocketmail@send1b.yahoomail.com> Received: from [209.50.86.186] by send1b; Fri, 06 Feb 1998 06:08:31 PST Date: Fri, 6 Feb 1998 06:08:31 -0800 (PST) From: "Michael J.

I'm with you; it's just that there are two seperate things at work here: a) Making sure that my systems will function correctly after 23:59:59 31 Dec 1999; and b) Appeasing executives who have read a few articles about "the Y2K problem," have little comprehension of the work involved, and want security blankets in the form of a ream of 20 lb. bond, bound up neatly, stating that the people whose software we use aren't idiot enough to ignore the issue. Unfortunately, right now my job doesn't hinge on my coming through with "prove that these systems won't fail due to Y2K;" instead, it hinges on "get statements about Y2K compliance from every vendor and do it in 10 days." As you and others have noted, the FreeBSD team can only speak for the core OS. I have a ton of other software. I have to get statements for every one of those programs. I have to do the same for a cluster of Sun workstations. I have to present all this to a boss who is hell-bent on replacing a perfectly functional P166/FreeBSD machine with a castoff SPARCstation 20 because "Sun is our strategic platform" and "we shouldn't dilute our skills base" and "We can't trust free software to run our business." Thus, my upset at the original reply, which really wouldn't have helped my case to keep the FreeBSD machines. And yes, my like is like a Dilbert cartoon and I'm working on a resume to get out of this place. :) Robert Levandowski UNIX Systems Administrator ACC TeleCom robl@phoebe.accinet.net From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 6 06:12:03 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA15224 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 06:12:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from phoebe.accinet.net (root@phoebe.accinet.net [204.245.83.15]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA15148; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 06:11:57 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from robl@phoebe.accinet.net) Received: from [204.245.83.21] (powerbook.accinet.net [204.245.83.21]) by phoebe.accinet.net (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA10160; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 09:11:32 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199802061411.JAA10160@phoebe.accinet.net> Subject: Re: Year 2000 compliance statement?

If you were to look at the "Contacting FreeBSD" web page, which is reached by clicking on the link "questions@freebsd.org" at the bottom of the main FreeBSD web page, you should note that nowhere does the page hint that the address sends to a public list. Given FreeBSD's nature, and that I knew there were mailing list instructions on another page, I presumed that this address was more restricted. Hence, when I got back that first message, whose phrasing implied that it was from someone empowered to speak for the team, I was upset. >Again, these conclusions leave me flabbergasted.

Nonetheless, it may have >served some useful purpose in getting the recipient to show his true >colors. :-) I have gotten several constructive and helpful replies from other people on the list. After receiving the second reply, it was obvious that I had sent to a list. On the other hand, I do tend to feel that your response above begs the question. The FreeBSD web pages, and its supporters, make a case that FreeBSD is a reasonable alternative to commercial workstations, even in corporate environments. It seems to me that the FreeBSD team wants to be taken seriously. As an end-user, I don't want to be told to "shove it," nor do I want snide personal comments in response to complaint. Your response, which takes the tack of maligning my character and questioning my faculties, doesn't make me think the FreeBSD team is looking to be taken seriously. That's especially true in light of your position as "Public Relations and Corporate Liasion," as the Web pages state. In my current position, I don't have the time to be an OS hacker. I need the best tool for the job, and to date, that tool has been FreeBSD for a few jobs. However, the degree and nature of support is a big part of being the "best tool." If I go to my bosses and say "when I reacted with shock and upset to being told, essentially, to 'shove it' when requesting a Y2K statement, I was told by the team's purported number-one public contact that I was defying logic, acting inexplicably, and that I was probably impossible to work with," neither they nor I are going to hear "best tool for the job." That result would be logical and very explicable.

You're free to come to that conclusion though there's ample evidence to the contrary. We are taken seriously, just as I take unwarranted attacks upon the project seriously. It's very simple: You made an entirely baseless assumption, leaped into the abyss on the basis of that assumption and now you'd like to compound your error by blaming the reporter for simply commenting on the actions of the reportee. I'm sorry, but that simply won't wash and I think you can only dig yourself in deeper by continuing to defend an indefensible position. Why not simply admit you made a mistake, acted rashly, and let us all move on? Any reasonably courageous person would feel contrite about laying blame on the wrong doorstep and not simply attack the first person to note that an error had been made. By doing so, you only further lower your estimation in the eyes of many on this very public mailing list and that hardly suggests to me that you desire to be taken seriously either, making your own accusations hypocritical at best. The next move is up to you. Have a nice day.

I've found this especially handy when rsh'ing between many hosts and having my xterm title change to represent my current host no matter what box I'm on. Doesn't involve any extra key presses and doesn't involve aliasing commands. I know it does not work with bash versions < 1.14.6, and that it does work with at least version 2.01.1. As an example: export PS1="\[^[]2;$USER@$HOST^G\]\u@\h:\w\$ " The "\[" and "\]" are necessary to prevent bash from taking the string in between them and using it to calculate the wrap column for the current line (without them, bash thinks your prompt is much longer than it actually appears). The stuff between them sets the xterm title. The stuff after the "\]" is your favorite prompt. Remember that the "^[" and the "^G" are the escape and bell characters, respectively. -- Shawn Halpenny From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 6 07:18:43 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA25974 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 07:18:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from pchb1f.gallaudet.edu (pchb1f.gallaudet.edu [134.231.8.200]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id HAA25936 for ; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 07:18:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from flatline@pchb1f.gallaudet.edu) Received: from localhost (flatline@localhost) by pchb1f.gallaudet.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id KAA03721; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 10:06:03 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from flatline@pchb1f.gallaudet.edu) Date: Fri, 6 Feb 1998 10:06:03 -0500 (EST) From: Uncle Flatline To: "Brian J.

According to the MS-DOS function guide I have, INT 0x21, subfunction 0x2A, get date: Call with: AH = 0x2A Returns: CX = Year (1980 through 2099) DH = Month (1 through 12) DL = Day (1 through 31) Under MS-Dos Versions 1.1 and later AL = Day of the week (0=Sunday, 1=Monday, etc) So, therefore, one can assume its aware of Y2K through 2099 before breaking. Hopefully, 1000 years from now, someone won't be running MS-Dos anymore. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 6 07:26:48 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA28121 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 07:26:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from horton.iaces.com (horton.iaces.com [204.147.87.98]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id HAA28087 for ; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 07:26:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from proot@horton.iaces.com) Received: (from proot@localhost) by horton.iaces.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) id JAA14169; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 09:24:10 -0600 (CST) From: "Paul T.

I have spent years dealing with hard real-time applications in microcontroller assembly language, so I have a bit of experience here. His explanation of the different definitions in common use for 'real time' is something it is well worth your time to reflect on. There are very few applications in the real world where true hard-real-time guaranteed maximum latency is needed, and almost always these are best handled by a little slave processor with a good interrupt controller on it. A human's perception of 'real time' usually can handle a latency of multiple milliseconds, which to any computer is an eon. Several years ago, I was one of the primary programmers for the Javelin security system line. Its base operating system was DOS, and it was designed to control a camera matrix of up to 1000 cameras and 1000 monitors and 1000 alarm points, all monitored through a daisy-chained SERIAL PORT @ 9600 baud. Needless to say, each 4-byte query took 4 milliseconds, and polling the entire alarm array took multiple seconds, even with local microcontrollers that would respond with an alert for each bank of alarm points. Despite this already-very-obsolete technology, the Javelin system was installed at both the Pentagon and the White House, as well as numerous airports and large hotel complexes. Obviously, with DOS, one has total control of latency, since there are no other programs competing for attention. But then, you never had any intention of running real-time programs on the same machine as a public news server, right? -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 6 08:55:37 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA11397 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 08:55:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cedb.dpcsys.com (cedb.dpcsys.com [206.16.184.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA11336 for ; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 08:55:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dan@dpcsys.com) Received: from localhost (dan@localhost) by cedb.dpcsys.com (8.8.5/8.8.2) with SMTP id QAA08196; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 16:55:38 GMT Date: Fri, 6 Feb 1998 08:55:38 -0800 (PST) From: Dan Busarow To: David Vondrasek cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Networking 2 BSD box's In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" On Thu, 5 Feb 1998, David Vondrasek wrote: > making it to the cards ok, I just don't get any RECIEVED counts, I take that > back , out of 300+ send I did get 5 packets returned.

Check out Ghostscript in /usr/ports/print. Just a couple of days ago, I configured a Canon BJ200e to emulate a Postscript printer. This is just a guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if the BJ-240 is backwardly compatible with the BJ200. In any case, Ghostscript supports most common printers. Here's an example of how you could invoke Ghostscript. #!/bin/sh # # pstobj200if - Print Ghostscript simulated PostScript on a Cannon BJ-200 # exec /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -sDEVICE=bj200 \ -sPAPERSIZE=letter -sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3 - 3>&1 1>&2 2> /dev/null You can change the paper size to A4 if you wish. Also, the juggling of file descriptors is necessary to keep error messages separate from the actual printer output. (-dQUIET unfortunately isn't enough.) If you haven't done so already, you may want to read section 7 of the FreeBSD Handbook which explains printing.

I posted a message and only received one response telling me to make sure that bounce buffers were enabled, which they were. Since then I have scoured this group, and archives of the other groups looking for a solution but nothing so far. I have also been trying new releases of the 3.0 snap with the last snap I tried being 3.0-980204-SNAP. The problem is still present in the boot floppy of that release.

I managed to get my hands on a nice SCSI - SCSI RAID unit. The trouble is that disk set 1 is on LUN0 and disk set 2 is on LUN2. I have read through everything I can find, but I'm not sure how to set up my kernel config to read the LUN1 for sd1. The handbook makes a refernce to changing scsiconfig.c, but this seems out of date. LINT makes refernce to hard coding the LUNS, But I don't understand it and if I just insert what it has, I get errors on /usr/sbin/config Help :< On a side note, does anyone know when the DPT drivers are going to make it out?

The format of BSDi master.passwd and FreeBSD master.passwd is identical, assuming you are using DES crypt on FreeBSD rather than MD5 crypt.

Once upon a time, there was a tedious application like this: DOS -> multiport serial card -> N x emulated-wyse50-terminals Now, this application wants to run in two separate locations, but still with "DOS" appearing only once: N x wyse50 -> (mux) --phone-or-ether-> (demux) -> DOS <- N x wyse50 These aren't really terminal sessions, except as "DOS" sees them that way. The traffic does not need to be secure. All we're looking for is to be able to 1. multiplex the remote serial streams into one stream 2. transport the stream to the "local" location via telephone to begin with, then ethernet ultimately when we can 3. demultiplex the serial streams to make it appear as if these additional remote serial ports were just other serial ports at the local site. Unix and the multiport serial cards are only serving as data transport and mux/demux, they don't need to care what the traffic is in any way. I'm looking for either app code already written to do this, or code to hack to create this service.

I've got all the numbers I need, but when I type in the info to the files ( ex. hosts.conf etc. ) in a fashion like I did on a Solaris 2.5 box, I could not get FreeBsd & netscape to connect, but it worked great on the Sun box, so, obviously, it not the same setup. I've got my default gateway ip, my i386 ip address, net mask, router/gateway ip address, & my 2 DNS servers ip add's. FreeBSD does find my network card and Netscape for Linux 2.0 comes up fine and lets my enter options etc. Any help is appreciated. Mark Scherer schererma@nima.mil P.S. This version of FreeBSD is great !! No more Linux, ever! sorry Linus. Also, thanks for the boot easy help. Boot easy installs right over NT loader and doesn't clobber it. The best of both worlds. NT loader allows me to get to my 3rd scsi drive (boot easy only does the first 2) and boot easy allows me to get to: 1) NT boot loader boot.ini on the 1st disk- labeled as DOS and from there NT loader can take me NT on any drive - in my case, my 3rd scsi 2) UnixWare on 1st scsi disk - partition 2 3) FreeBSD 2nd scsi partition 2 4) Linux 2nd scsi partition 3 Thanks From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 6 15:59:29 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA24946 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 15:59:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from germanium.xtalwind.net (germanium.xtalwind.net [205.160.242.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA24934 for ; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 15:59:19 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jack@germanium.xtalwind.net) Received: from localhost (jack@localhost) by germanium.xtalwind.net (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id SAA01471; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 18:58:00 -0500 (EST) Date: Fri, 6 Feb 1998 18:58:00 -0500 (EST) From: jack To: MARK JONES cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: passwd In-Reply-To: <34DB767D.5887@london.skyscape.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" On Fri, 6 Feb 1998, MARK JONES wrote: > I am migrating from BSDI 2.01 to freebsd and wondered if there was an > easy way to transfer the passwdord file. Enable DES on the FreeBSD box and just copy /etc/master.passwd /etc/passwd /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db from BSDI to the FreeBSD box PROVIDED you don't have any usernames >8 characters on BSDI. If you do you'll have to recompile FreeBSD to take the longer usernames. In /usr/src/include/utmp.h change #define UT_NAMESIZE from 8 to 16 and in /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h change #define MAXLOGNAME to be >= 16.

What do you mean "did"? It's still alive and kicking and outselling all other "operating systems". Brian gave one format, which is used internally. Files have a different format, which splits a 16 bit "word" into 5 bits day (0-31), 4 bits month (0-15) and 7 bits year since 1980 (1980-2107). In practice, the year is limited to 2099.

Straight Cable , These are not 10base/T cards there NE2000 Coaxial cables I just tested the connection another way. I ran the NRSETUP (NodeRunner Setup) Utility that comes with the cards. I have it running on BOTH boxe's at the same time, the cards CAN see each other and Talk, I get 0% packet losse 1000 Sends 1000 Recieves , No errors , So the cards are configured to work, ( IRQ 10, Base 300, NE2000 Mode) Reboot the boxes to BSD and Nothing. They can't transfer packets over the network to each other 10.124.239.11 (Gateway) Can't see 10.124.239.12 (machine basic) Or vise-versa..I'd hate to say WIN95 Can see these cards and I can run PEER-PEER Just fine. ANy other idea's ? How about a URl to look at ? Anyone have a couple of rc.conf files (etc.. ) That I can studie ? Maybe I have a setting incorect, I have a modem with autodial on the gateway and have no problems connecting to the net.

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. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: 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 one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, 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 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: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? ========================================= Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: 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 even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. 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 or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, 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. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 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 (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: 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.

The result is that most leading edge comput- er books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. The second edi- tion has only just been published, but already a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They re- late to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. This list is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the book to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this docu- ment: it's closest to the original text. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and under- lining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text 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). General changes o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find pro- cess information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake for this information Page 45: Preparing floppies for installation Replace the paragraph below the list of file names (in the middle of the page) with: The floppy set should contain the file bin.inf and the ones whose names start with bin. followed by two letters. These other files are all 240640 bytes long, except for the final one which is usually shorter. Use the MS-DOS COPY program to copy as many files as will fit onto each disk (5 or 6) until you've got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Copy each distribution into subdirectory corresponding to the base name--for example, copy the bin dis- tribution to the files A:\BIN\BIN.INF, A:\BIN\BIN.AA and so on. Page 80 and 81 In a couple of examples, the FreeBSD partition is shown as type 164. It should be 165. Thanks to an unknown contributer for this correction (sorry, I lost your name). Page 140 Just before the paragraph The super user add the following paragraph: If you do manage to lose the root password, all may not be lost. You'll have to reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # password root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup Note that you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the system doesn't have the concept of user IDs. Page 160 Replace the text at the fourth bullet with the augmented text: The second-level boot locates the kernel, by default the file /kernel on the root file system, and loads it into memory. It prints the Boot: prompt at this point so that you can influence this choice--see the man page on page 579 for more details of what you can enter at this prompt. Page 197, first line The text of the first full sentence reads: The first name, up the the symbol, is the label. In fact, it should read: The first name, up the the | symbol, is the label. Page 283, ``Creating the source tree'' Add a third point to what you need to know: 3. Possibly, the date of the last update that you want to be included in the checkout. If you specify this date, cvs ignores any more recent updates. This option is often useful when somebody discovers a recently introduced bug in -CURRENT: you check out the modules as they were before the bug was introduced. You specify the date with the -D option, for example -D "10 December 1997". Page 285, after the second example. Add the text: If you need to check out an older version, for example if there are problems with the most recent version of -CURRENT, you could enter: # cvs co -D "10 December 1997" src/sys This command checks out the kernel sources as of 10 December 1997. Page 466, before the ps example Add another bullet: o Finally, you may find it convenient to let some other system handle all your mail delivery for you: you just send anything you can't deliver locally to this other host, which sendmail calls a smart host. This is particularly con- venient if you send your mail with UUCP. To tell sendmail to use a smart host (in our case, mail.example.net), find the following line in sendmail.cf: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS Change it to: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmail.example.net Page 364, middle of page Change the text from: The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though they may be in lower case. to The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though newer versions of ppp allow you to write them in lower case. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for this correction. Page 478, ``Running Apache'' The text describes the location of the server as /usr/local/www/server/httpd. This appears to depend on where you get the port from. Some people report the file being at the more likely location /usr/local/sbin/httpd (though note the directory sbin, not bin). Check both locations if you run into trouble.

I've played with various configurations in my XF86Config file, but haven't had any luck. Most of the keys work properly, the problems are in: NumLock disables and/or modifies the behavior of some keys. For example, in qvwm, ALT-TAB switches between applications. But, with NumLock on, it doesn't work. The numeric-keypad doesn't work at all. The cursor keys work in some programs, but not others. BS and DEL work in some programs, but not others (works at a shell prompt, but doesn't work at an ftp prompt). If anyone has any ideas on this, I would greatly appreciate some help. -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-plus.net From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 6 18:55:40 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA21952 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 18:55:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gloria.cord.edu (gloria.cord.edu [138.129.254.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA21926; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 18:55:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from twschulz@gloria.cord.edu) Received: from localhost (twschulz@localhost) by gloria.cord.edu (8.8.5/8.6.5) with SMTP id UAA22734; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 20:55:26 -0600 (CST) Date: Fri, 6 Feb 1998 20:55:26 -0600 (CST) From: Trenton Schulz To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG cc: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Fat32 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" I was wondering whether FAT32 was implemented in -current.

Then I checked the Makefile, I found functions/%.o: functions/%.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $@ functions/number.o: functions/number.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -w -c $< -o $@ Is there something wrong? or should I modify the file /etc/make.conf?

Congratulations, you have discovered how braindead BSD make is. Install GNU make and your problems will go away. At least I think it is braindead behaviour. If someone can explain to me why $< and $@ expand correctly in the number.o rule, but not in the general rule, I would appreciate it. Sun make, Irix make, GNU make and everything except BSD make handles this nicely. -Rasmus From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 6 20:13:27 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA02891 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 20:13:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ce.mediaone.net (ce.mediaone.net [24.128.1.97]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA02878 for ; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 20:13:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kyrra@mediaone.net) From: kyrra@mediaone.net Received: from mediaone.net ([24.131.163.90]) by ce.mediaone.net (Netscape Messaging Server 3.01) with ESMTP id AAA511 for ; Fri, 6 Feb 1998 23:13:09 -0500 Message-ID: <34DBEDA3.4FABEC38@mediaone.net> Date: Fri, 06 Feb 1998 22:14:11 -0700 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: multibooting Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" I have been trying to install FreeBSD (My brother in law that is currently setting up systems in a University colledge recommended FreeBSD over Linux) and I am trying to install it to my 3rd harddisk (e:\ dos wise) ws2 I think is what BSD calls it.

Right now we are using Post.Office from www.software.com, which is delightfully easy to work with through its web interface and is supposed to have been designed with a careful eye on security. (Both of those details being a far cry from everything I've heard about sendmail.) The problem is that we are outgrowing the 10 mailbox and 2 mailing list restriction on their free version, and do not yet have the budget to register it with the capacity we need. I would very much like to hear any recommendations you all may have.

I managed to get a working FreeBSD system up and running, but when I attempt to install any of the 'packages' from the MS-DOS file system, the install program can't find them, presumably because of the way the long file names get truncated in DOS. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a simple way to get the installer to recognize the files in the DOS partition with the correct names? Or is there a distribution specifically for MS-DOS partition installation? I suppose one method would be to figure out the relationship between the long and short file names, mount the MS-DOS partition, copy the files to another file system and then rename them. This seems like an awful lot of work for something that must not be terribly uncommon. I can't be the first person who has run into this, so surely someone has come up with a solution. Yeah, I know, those *darned* DOS people trying to learn UNIX are a real PITA. What can I say? I'm trying to improve myself, OK? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tim.

If somebody could tell me what the answers are, or where to find the answers for myself, I'd appreciate it. Does FreeBSD have: * IP masquerading support? * Transparent proxying? * Firewalling/gatewaying? * DOSemu support? * Support for multiple ethernet cards in a single computer? * Any support (even read-only) for ext2fs? * Support for SCSI Generic devices, eg, for use with cdrecord? * Support for removable SCSI devices (eg, the Iomega Jaz)? And along the same lines, support for connecting or disconnecting a device to the SCSI card while the system is running? The idea here is to evaluate how well FreeBSD could replace Linux on some of my machines. At the moment, the package manager in Debian GNU/Linux is a significant plus (really cuts down on admin time). However, Linux's laptop support is weak -- I have FreeBSD on my laptop -- and it is, for a variety of reasons, easier to have the same OS on all the machines.

If you're not already using the 2nd IDE controller, you can change it. If you have two IDE controllers on-boad, I'd recommending using both of them instead of using the one on the Sound Blaster, though - it will be faster. > My hard disk drive has 2484 cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 sectors. > Should I change disk geometry because FreeBSD does not support more than > 1024 cylinders? Like 621 cylinders, 64 heads, and 63 sectors? (All of this is discussed at length in the FAQ and handbook, at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/ and http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/, respectively.) I'm fairly certain FreeBSD actually support more than 1024 cylinders. The only restriction is that the root partition (the partition for /, which the kernel is loaded from) has to fit below the 1024-cylinder boundary. This isn't because of a restriction in FreeBSD - rather, it is because of a restriction in the BIOS API (programming interface) which doesn't let the bootloader talk to BIOS about larger cylinder numbers. If you're only going to run FreeBSD on your computer, I'd recommend _not_ telling FreeBSD to use a 'true partition entry'. Then the problem becomes moot (the disk geometry becomes uninteresting, because everything collapses to a reference to sector 0). > I am not sure which User, X-User, Developer, X-Developer, all other > software to be installed.

FreeBSD accept C++ fine - the C++ compiler is named 'c++'.

I haven't used Debian's package manager, but I have used RPM. I find that FreeBSD ports is much superior to RPM. I've heard the same from many others as well. I think that if you give FreeBSD a try in a server environment, you'll be so happy that you'll give serious consideration to getting rid of Linux entirely. I've used both, and can say that I'd never look at Linux again for a production server. >Thanks, You're welcome >John Goerzen -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-plus.net From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 7 01:11:53 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA09755 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 7 Feb 1998 01:11:53 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ubox.microline.org ([207.173.132.199]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA09749 for ; Sat, 7 Feb 1998 01:11:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from sproctor@ubox.microline.org) Received: from localhost (sproctor@localhost) by ubox.microline.org (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id BAA05677 for ; Sat, 7 Feb 1998 01:17:43 GMT Date: Sat, 7 Feb 1998 01:17:42 +0000 (GMT) From: Steve Proctor To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Cursor on Mono Card Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" I have a Hercules card and I get no cursor with FreeBSD.

I have it running as a gateway to the Internet for my other Win95 units. While on-line with it the other night, I was talking to one of my UNIX guru friends about how to add an additional drive. I needed to send some mail to him, so at the FreeBSD computer's keyboard I typed: mail frankg@idfw.com while it was connected to my ISP. I then typed in the subject, a few lines of text and then ended with a "." and to my surprise the thing worked. I actually saw the FreeBSD mail program send this mail to my friend and cc: myself. The next morning when I checked my mail, the cc: I sent to myself was arriving from my mail server in Salt Lake City.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just installed Netscape (Communicator 4.04, the dynamically-linked FreeBSD binary version) from the ports tree. Unfortunately, I am having some problems with it. On the whole, it seems to work ok; however, sometimes the program dies (for no apparent reason) with a SIGBUS. Also, it locks up a lot. The lock up is complete (the little "meteor shower" stops showering, and the process can't be killed - I have to use a 'kill -KILL' to get rid of it). These things don't happen regularly -- I can be using Netscape perfectly for hours and hours (my last Netscape process was running for over five days before it went belly-up), and it crashes/hangs through different actions (i.e. there is not one single set of actions that I can isolate that cause it to die). My system is a P133 with 32MB EDO RAM and 3.2GB disk, running 2.2.5-RELEASE (a clean install). Is anyone else having this problem with Netscape? Does the Linux version work better? Any ideas what might be going wrong here? Please cc: the response to me in email if possible.

Yes, pesky shortened file names are the problem. I assume you have the directory structure right since you managed the OS install! > Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a simple way to get the installer > to recognize the files in the DOS partition with the correct names? Or is > there a distribution specifically for MS-DOS partition installation? No, no, and no. The installer is configured to get the os from DOS (as one option) then everything else from over the wire. The ports collection is really spiffy. You can download the source, compile it, and install it with "make install". Read up on this in the DOCS and FAQ. > I suppose one method would be to figure out the relationship between the > long and short file names, mount the MS-DOS partition, copy the files to > another file system and then rename them. This seems like an awful lot of > work for something that must not be terribly uncommon. I can't be the first > person who has run into this, so surely someone has come up with a solution. Sort of. You mount the dos partition. Copy the package you want to a directory under /usr (i.e. /usr/packages/whatever) and you can point the installer at that. I used to do that and I did change the file name so I could use pkg_manage,pkg_add and pkg_delete (see man pages) with no worry about it. You can also install "directly" with gzip -d and tar but this does not register the package as installed. > Yeah, I know, those *darned* DOS people trying to learn UNIX are a real > PITA.

Here it is: I purchased Caldera OpenLinux over a year ago, before I was made to realize that FreeBSD is a better product. One thing I did like about Caldera, though (and about RedHat, for that matter) was the X server. The only real reason I prefer MetroX is that it supports my card in 16-bit color, whereas XFree86 does not. (I would either have to replace my ISA card with a PCI one or revoce all but 14MB of RAM.) So I installed the Linux libraries, compiled Linux support into the kernel, installed the rpm package, then rpm'ed the Metro X server onto my system. All of that went without a glitch. Then I tried to configure the server and got the following error (contents of /var/log/Xerrors): Metro-X Version 3.1.2 Copyright (c) 1990-1996 by Metro Link Inc. Copyright (c) 1989-1994 by M.I.T. Copyright (c) 1994-1996 by X Consortium, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Read mouse Serial_MouseMan from Xconfig Loading /usr/lib/X11/Metro/modules/libsvga.a Fatal server error: Can not find open VT Well, I remembered that Linux usually setup 6 virtual terminals instead of FreeBSD's 4, so I used MAKEDEV to create an additional 3 VTs (one to grow on!), edited my /etc/ttys to include them and turn them all on (as in Linux), then SIGHUPed init. No go - same error. Edited /etc/ttys again and turned the last 4 back off, restarted init, and same error. I even created symlinks to the devices named tty0-tty6 (as in Linux), and again gained no ground. (All right, I admit that I don't really know whether that last move was the smartest in the world. Can a symlink actually work with a character device?) So now I'm tossing up my hands and asking you guys: Can this be done? Or am I consigned to either buying a different card or settling for 256 colors? Thanks in advance for any help you can give on this. ====================================================================== Shawn Stone ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't know of a man, woman, or child alive today who doesn't enjoy a tasty beverage!" -- David Letterman ====================================================================== From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 7 15:12:23 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA20707 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 7 Feb 1998 15:12:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from stern.buffalostate.edu (hummel@stern.buffalostate.edu [136.183.7.43]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA20700 for ; Sat, 7 Feb 1998 15:12:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from hummel@stern.buffalostate.edu) Received: from localhost (hummel@localhost) by stern.buffalostate.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id SAA01449 for ; Sat, 7 Feb 1998 18:13:15 -0500 Date: Sat, 7 Feb 1998 18:13:15 -0500 (EST) From: Dave Hummel To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: networking newbie needs help Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" Hi, I am completely new to networking, and have a couple of (what I presume to be simple) questions.

That shouldn't worry you. The real problem here is deciding what the board really is. The names and numbers you quote are probably something that a marketroid dreamt up. I'd guess that this is a clone board, so what we need to find out is what the original board was. Failing that, the chipset information would be of use. Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook10.html#10 and see if anything looks similar. You can also look in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT, which contains the following comments: # ar: Arnet SYNC/570i hdlc sync 2/4 port V.35/X.21 serial driver (requires sppp) # cx: Cronyx/Sigma multiport sync/async (with Cisco or PPP framing) # ed: Western Digital and SMC 80xx; Novell NE1000 and NE2000; 3Com 3C503 # el: 3Com 3C501 (slow!) # ep: 3Com 3C509 (buggy) # fe: Fujitsu MB86960A/MB86965A Ethernet # ie: AT&T StarLAN 10 and EN100; 3Com 3C507; unknown NI5210; Intel EtherExpress # le: Digital Equipment EtherWorks 2 and EtherWorks 3 (DEPCA, DE100, # DE101, DE200, DE201, DE202, DE203, DE204, DE205, DE422) # lnc: Lance/PCnet cards (Isolan, Novell NE2100, NE32-VL) # sr: RISCom/N2 hdlc sync 1/2 port V.35/X.21 serial driver (requires sppp) # wl: Lucent Wavelan (ISA card only). # ze: IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller. # zp: 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III (It does not require shared memory for # send/receive operation, but it needs 'iomem' to read/write the # attribute memory) If you have FreeBSD up and running, you could put the board in the machine and see if the system recognizes it. If you do this, make sure the board is set to its default values. If you still can't make anything out of it, tell us what's written on the larger chips.

All of that went without a glitch. Running MetroX (or any Linux binary X server) is probably beyond the scope of the Linux emulator. Have you tried a kernel with bounce buffers (such as the GENERIC kernel) and XFree86?

My current ipfw list is lsted below. My ISP-assigned dynamic IP is stored in the $ip variable, the name of the external dial-up interface (tun0) is in $extern, and the loopback interface (lo0) is in $loop. I'm also wondering what I should add to permit ping to work correctly. What sort of icmp permit lines are other folks using? Finally, I absolutely HATE the way udp DNS queries are permitted (and NTP udp communication) in my list below. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

No go - same error. Creating the devices is only the external part of creating new VTs. You also need to build a new kernel. But don't do that.

Of course, there's almost never a reason to create a symlink in the same file system. Use a hard link instead. Or use mknod if it's a special file--a node is smaller than a symlink. But this is probably not the problem. > So now I'm tossing up my hands and asking you guys: Can this be > done? I don't think so. The Linux emulator emulates the Linux user interface, not the Linux kernel. The X server uses kernel features which probably don't correspond to the FreeBSD interface. > Or am I consigned to either buying a different card or settling for > 256 colors? I don't think so. You at least have the option of buying a FreeBSD version of the X server. But I'm not at all convinced that there is a problem. The other answer to this question was off-track, BTW: you *can* run an ISA board with over 16 MB. The 16 MB ISA limit refers to I/O. Transfers to display boards are done via memory, which doesn't have this limitation. I'm running an ATI Mach 8 board on a 64 MB with no problems, though I haven't tried 16 bpp with it. But maybe that's not what you mean. What makes you think that your board won't work with XFree86 in 16 bpp mode?

I'm trying to install the latest release, and I'm having fairly large problems. First, my network card is detected by the probe at boot time (it finds it as ed2), but when it comes time to install, ed2 is not shown in the network-capable devices. Second, I tried to get it to install from a MS-DOS partition, but it can't find the partitions. Granted, I'm using the OSR2 version on Win95, so it might not recognise the partition as being a DOS partition. My computer's configuration is: Pentium II 266 with 64 megs of SDRAM, an 8.1 gig EIDE and a 2.1 gig EIDE, a 24x ATAPI CD-ROM and an ATAPI Zip drive. The network card is a Realtek RT L8029 PCI Ethernet PnP Adapter (in IRQ 10). I have two serial ports, a parallel port, two USB ports, a PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and a Sportster 56k PnP Modem. Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.

But how do I install the driver for the board? Also, I have cable modem right now with RoadRunner. Basically I need to run the RoadRunner Login software in Winnt to log in and start using the cable modem. My question is: Even if the ethernet card can be used under FreeBSD, can I use the cable modem without the RoadRunner Login Software? There isn't a version of the software for FreeBSD.

What we need is a spec so we can interface at a sensible level. You've raised a couple of questions here that I can't answer. I'll wait a while to give other people a chance to reply. If I don't see a reply by Monday, I'll look further.

Will their be any problems if I were to delete it? No, unless you want to use it yourself. If you don't use it, you could also remove the anonymous ftp login. > If anyone has also had someone using their site for this illegal > use, what actions did you take (like e-mail their ISP or the > software companies etc..), if any? I had problems with spammers. I complained to the host ISP, and got no useful feedback. Check out http://www.lemis.com/spamalibi.html for one example.

As I'm getting deeper into FreeBSD and X graphics, I came across "Interactive Computer Graphics in X" by Theo Pavlidis. In it he uses a 'safe' starter toolkit built on either OL or Motif and Xt. It's an incredibly good book, goes from X baby talk to the point where I might actually make some sense out of the Big Fat Official X11R6 Manuals I also bought. Problem is, one of the include libs is Xm, and I can't seem to find the replacement for that, although I did find an *.so.* Any hints?

I am using a tyan 1571 with an adaptec 2940uw. the system has an ide drive 2 scsi drives and a scsi cdrom. I boot using the installation floppy, go through the process of removing any conflicts. I select custom installation, partition the drive. At this point, FreeBSD displays only the ide drive and the first scsi drive, wd0 and sd0. both of the scsi drives are narrow, sd0 on the internal 50pin connector, and sd1 on the 68pin external. the adaptec recognizes both drives. I have tried unplugging the power to the first drive, but freebsd still doesn't see the second one. I am using active terminators on both ends of the scsi chain, and I have set termination to low off, high on in the 2940uw bios. I have installed linux on both scsi drives and it works fine. any help would be very much appriciated. phil To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 7 23:47:25 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA15274 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 7 Feb 1998 23:47:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from birdland.rhein-neckar.de (root@birdland.rhein-neckar.de [193.197.88.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA15264 for ; Sat, 7 Feb 1998 23:47:22 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bsd@birdland.rhein-neckar.de) Received: from localhost (bsd@localhost) by birdland.rhein-neckar.de (8.8.7/8.8.3) with SMTP id IAA02466 for ; Sun, 8 Feb 1998 08:47:20 +0100 (MET) Date: Sun, 8 Feb 1998 08:47:19 +0100 (MET) From: Martin Jangowski Reply-To: Martin Jangowski To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: HP Kayak and very slow NE2100 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi! Last week I got a HP Kayak XA Workstation and tried to install 2.2.5-RELEASE on it. The machine has a combined UW-SCSI and 10/100 Ethernet PCI card. The SCSI-part is based on a 53C875 and worked flawlessly. The Ethernet-part of this card was identified as a Lance based card (NE2100, device lnc1) and almost worked... I can send data with >1Mbyte/s on a 10BaseT segment, but the receive-rate is a whopping 7k/s... any ideas? BTW, I have yet to install a machine (with Adaptec or NCR-SCSI) that will boot 2.2.5 without creating a small DOS-partition first... the usual error message is "read error" when trying to boot. It will make no difference, if I use a "dangerous" dedicated drive or a regular (DOS-) partiton table, it won't work. Creating a 1 MB DOS-Partition did the trick. I tried this with AH2940, on-board AIC7870, AIC7880 and 53C875... 2.1.7.1 booted flawlessly on the same machine and disk layout. That's progress... ;-) Martin | Martin Jangowski E-Mail: maja@birdland..rhein-neckar.de | | Voice: +49 621/53 95 06 Fax: +49 621/53 95 07 | | Snail Mail: Koenigsbacher Str. 16 D-67067 Ludwigshafen Germany | | RNInet e.V.
