First off - I'm not some weirdo moaning about the use of that little cartoon devil guy. I think he's RAD. Someone sent me a graphic of him, which I've used in emails and things to great effect. By pure blind luck, I saw a little ad for your .org page, with the little guy on it. I rushed there straight away. Unfortunately, I have no real use for your product that I can see, but I LOVE the cartoon devil. Is he "yours"? Or borrowed from elsewhere? Is there more of him? And - the biggie - can you send him to me? I'd love to put him up on my page (it's got a whole lot of Philosophy of Religion stuff, so he's most appropriate), I would , of course, include a copy of the ad I saw, and a link back to your .org site.

I have recently purchased FreeBSD and the "Complete FreeBSD" book and have spent the whole weekend trying to install it. I have a Pentium 2 P233 (32MB) with a number of harddisks installed. I have been trying to install BSD on the 3rd harddisk which is 1GB (set as the primary disk on the second IDE port). I have been booting from floppy and then installing from the CDROM. I keep having the same error "Panic: Cannot Mount Root"). Everything seems to be fine on install, the system seems to boot OK, but as soon as it tries to mount the filesystem the same thing happens. The disk geometry is 2105/16/63 (for Cylinders/Heads/Sectors respectively). I have read about the problems with EIDE disks over 504MB and have tried a number of things. I started by using the whole disk for BSD on a single slice. I then tried using two slices (making the first the bootable). The first slice was 50MB and labelled root, whilst the remainder of the disk was divided between SWAP, /usr and /var. I have noticed that when I restart using the boot floppy and go into the installation again and look at the label editor, although I does know about the slices, the mount field always says *, (not /, /usr or /var). I have real high hopes of BSD, and want to get it running ASAP, but at the moment I am completely stuck. Please can someone help, thanks Paul Dr Paul D.Goodyer B.Eng(Hons), AMIEE, MInstP, PhD, CPhys -------------------------------------- EMail: paul.goodyer@digitalmail.com Tel: ++44 1767 683968 -------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 14 03:31:51 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA18903 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 03:31:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from luke.cpl.net (luke.cpl.net [209.150.92.68]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA18835 for ; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 03:30:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from shawn@luke.cpl.net) Received: (from shawn@localhost) by luke.cpl.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA00221; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 03:33:07 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <19980614033307.08111@cpl.net> Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 03:33:07 -0700 From: Shawn Ramsey To: Jinsoo Kim , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Low Space on SMTP References: <199806140434.VAA16584@hub.freebsd.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.89.1i In-Reply-To: <199806140434.VAA16584@hub.freebsd.org>; from Jinsoo Kim on Sat, Jun 13, 1998 at 09:35:57PM -0700 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > I have FreeBsd 2.2.5 > I purchased it from Walnut Creek CDrom. > I use freebsd as a web and mail. > It was fine until yesterday.

Other than doing the obvious... there is a minimum free blocks option in sendmail.cf. This might be the problem, but im no sendmail guru.

I might as well revert to user-ppp in 2.2.5 as this version supported it. >Why do you want to know ?

I don't really need ppp to do something (haven't looked at that side of things).

X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01a) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I still can't get X or any packages to load from my dos partition. I can load THEM from a FAT32 slice, can't I? I installed the whole system from the FAT32 slice so I assume the answer is yes. I get an error reporting that compat21 can't be found when I try to install X. I have now d/l'd compat21 and it IS there. Directory names and paths are correct and as per LAYOUT. Sysinstall won't let me back into the installation window after the error, displaying the error message again instead. Package installation aborts with the message that the package INDEX file can't be found on the selected media. I have d/l'd this again, also, using an ftp utility to avoid browser errors. I still wonder if name case could be a problem? I'm rapidly losing patience with all this. I can't use the provided tools to install things. I can't mount the FAT16 partition and copy them to BSD to install. And, since I have no serial ports, (siox aren't detected) I can't d/l the things directly from BSD. Great! One other thing, possibly not a problem. The first installation would mail me with system usage whenever I logged on as root. This one doesn't. Strange. Here's more food for thought. The second drive doesn't appear to be detected when BSD boots. There's a lengthy pause after wd0 and then it goes on to other devices. perhaps this is the config problem it refers to? Why would it not auto-detect the drive? Now I think about it, I can't access that drive in fdisk or the label editor, either. Maybe NOW we're getting somewhere.

Then the clean bit is not set, because the disks are mounted. The clean bit is only set, when the disks are unmounted cleanly. In some unix'es fsck complains if the filesystem is mounted.

The following is straight off that page. In the Unix System Administration Handbook, Evi Nemeth has this to say about daemons: "Many people equate the word ``daemon'' with the word ``demon,'' implying some kind of Satanic connection between UNIX and the underworld. This is an egregious misunderstanding. ``Daemon'' is actually a much older form of ``demon''; daemons have no particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a person's character or personality. The ancient Greeks' concept of a ``personal daemon'' was similar to the modern concept of a ``guardian angel'' --- ``eudaemonia'' is the state of being helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons."

When the boot: prompt comes up, try typing in: 1:wd(2,a) That tells FreeBSD to boot from the primary IDE drive on the secondary IDE controller. That should be your drive. Now, one thing that got me, was when I installed my new drive, my BIOS got screwed up, and still thought the old drive was BIOS drive 0, even when it was 1. If this fails, try rgoing into BIOS setup, record options you know you'll need, then reset the BIOS to factory default. Then try booting into FreeBSD normally. Note that the 1 in the command above refers to the IDE controller (primary is 0, secondary is 1), and the wd refers to IDE, and the 2 refers to which disk on the controller (2 or 3), and the a refers to the partition.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.88e Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a large text file (2-3 megs) with numbers at the beginning of lines. Currently I'm reading through this file, checking that the numbers go in sequence, detecting errors but not fixing. This file has a long history of cutting and pasting without always updating the codes properly :-( Surely there's a better way, a good incentive for a bit of learning with a practical application. I dabbled with perl a tiny bit a long time ago and could relearn but maybe there's another tool that's more appropriate? Here's the kind of thing that's in the file at the beginning of lines, and the kind of errors I'm looking for: SP71d-1 SP71d-1.1 SP71d-1.2 SP71d-1.3 SP71d-2 SP71d-2.1 ST71d-3 # whoops (ST) ST71d-3.1 ST71d-3.2 ST71d-3.4 # whoops ST71d-3.5 SP71d-5 # whoops SP71d-5.1 SP71d-5.2 (many lines of plain text) CF05c-1 CF05c-1.1 CF05c-2 CF05c-2.1 CF05b-2.2 # whoops CF05b-2.3 CF05c-2.4 CF05c-2.4 # whoops CF05c-2.5 CF05c-2.6 (etc... to CF05c-12.15) The skipped numbers are particularly hard to detect by eyeball. I'm reasonably confident I can eventually work out how to do this (at least quicker than reading the damn file) if someone can suggest what to start learning to use.

Yes. Nothing FBSD specific but nonetheless.... /etc/aliases is referenced in /etc/sendmail.cf or /etc/sendmail/sendmail.cf but does not exist. Re-running 'newaliases' should take care of it I think. Check Dejanews for comp.mail.sendmail for more info, it has come up there before too.

Ok, I think I have confused you by saying iI would like it on the console. I run ppp by telneting into FreeBSD from win95, giving ppp its own screen using "screen", typing ppp, dial provider... In my ppp.linkup I have !bg dnsupdate. On ppp2.2.5 the results on this program came up in the ppp telnet window. An example from the program is printf( "Host %s.%s NOT updated.\n", myhost, MYDOMAIN );. On ppp980612 I do not see a thing back from the script unless I do it manually (I just found manually works ok ie. typing !bg dnsupdate in ppp). I know it is executing (or trying to) on the linkup cause I "set log local +Command." and I am getting Command: MYADDR: !bg dnsupdate wheely To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 14 19:11:30 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA18173 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 19:11:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from scifair.acadiau.ca (scifair.acadiau.ca [131.162.160.32]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA18118 for ; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 19:10:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from miker@scifair.acadiau.ca) Received: from localhost (miker@localhost) by scifair.acadiau.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA08544; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 23:10:35 -0300 (ADT) Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 23:10:35 -0300 (ADT) From: Michael Richards To: Sue Blake cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: what to learn?

My first approach would be simply to pipe it through sort.

Perl has that in abundance, as do sed, awk, and other tools that predate perl. My strong opinion is that the best way to learn what you need would be to work through the tutorial at the beginning of THE AWK PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE bootk by Aho, Kernighan, and Weinberger. The book is a series of extremely practical serious problem solving examples for just such problems as you describe here. While there are very good books for the other tools, this one makes awk exceptionally valuable and effective.

I know the lines are in the correct order, I'm not allowed to change that, I just need to know if the numbers have been allocated stupidly. You see, the remainder of each line (after white space) contains correct text and the lines are all in their final order within the file. It's just the coding that might be be misleading if the person who made up those numbers couldn't count. > I have been known to do all kinds of wierd stuff with awk, and cut. > > > ST71d-3.1 > > ST71d-3.2 > > ST71d-3.4 # whoops > > I am not 100% clear on what you want to do, but a perl script may be > easier than streams of text processors all iped together. > > You could (in perl) > load the file into an array. > call sort to order it > then mess with splitting the - number part off to make sure they don't > skip any. Yeah. It's the making sure they didn't skip any within the current sequence of lines in the file that's the main thing I have to learn. Sorting is out, it'd only remove some of the info I need to check. I suppose basically I need to isolate the part of each line that I'm interested in, then, within each group (a page or so), check that they are all alike except for the number after the dot and that that number is the next one up from what the previous line said. If it's a short one like ST71d-3 just check that the part after the hyphen is bigger by one than the part after the hyphen in the previous line. And quite a few more ifs and buts to take care of in there. If this is the wrong approach I don't really care, *that* is what I'm going to work out when I start learning. RTFM is my sole aim here, not a solution that'll get me through this one job, however tempting that is under the circumstances. I just want to know whether to figure out how to do it while using perl or cobol or named or fsck or some other obscure thing :-) > Assuming of course this is what you wanted to do. There are a number of > ways to attack this... Thanks. Maybe this could be done with perl or awk or a dozen other things, and none of them would do the job better than any other. In that case I should be picking something to learn that'll be good for me to know about later on, for other tasks. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 14 20:36:29 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA29466 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 20:36:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from battleship.genevaonline.com (battleship.genevaonline.com [156.46.205.14]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA29451 for ; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 20:36:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from thiel@genevaonline.com) Received: from shiva (pm3-ppp81.genevaonline.com [156.46.117.81]) by battleship.genevaonline.com (8.8.7/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA26569 for ; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 22:36:18 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199806150336.WAA26569@battleship.genevaonline.com> X-Sender: thiel@mail.genevaonline.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0 Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 22:35:54 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Loren Thiel Subject: Attempted install of KDE Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is about the 4th time I've tried this....but this time I used script to capture what happened.

I'm 8 months into Unix(s) and I have 3 machines here under my desk. One swindles95, one Red Hat 5.0, and BSD 2.2.6. The first two enabled me to login to my ISP Netcom, that has dynamic IP, login name, password etc. Both provided entries for primary and secondary DNS numbers and phone numbers too. I search the mail archives last night with the keyword PAP and looked at 150+ entries and got roughly 10 possible solutions. I have tried a few, word for word and haven't gotten any where. That's why I'm posting this with my RH box. I'm dying to spread the word about the Unix alternative but the first thing "anyone" coming over from "you know who" type systems need to log on. (QUESTION) Is there a simple way for a proud new Unix user to get BSD to log in? Can a person somehow use the "Network Configurator" of Red Hat 4.2/5.0 to setup BSD 2.2.6 ? If not, is someone working on it ? I hope for help. I'm dying to convert my Microsoft friends who are watching my endeavors CLOSELY. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 San Francisco CA 94121 http://www.netcom.com/~wiliweld To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 14 21:12:31 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA04568 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 21:12:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from chipweb.ml.org (qmailr@c1003518-a.plstn1.sfba.home.com [24.1.82.47]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id VAA04562 for ; Sun, 14 Jun 1998 21:12:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ludwigp@bigfoot.com) Received: (qmail 17196 invoked by uid 666); 15 Jun 1998 04:12:15 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO speedy.chipweb.ml.org) (172.16.1.1) by 172.16.1.5 with SMTP; 15 Jun 1998 04:12:15 -0000 Message-Id: <3.0.3.32.19980614211210.03184080@mail.plstn1.sfba.home.com> X-Sender: ludwigp@mail.plstn1.sfba.home.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.3 (32) Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 21:12:10 -0700 To: Loren Thiel , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Ludwig Pummer Subject: Re: Attempted install of KDE In-Reply-To: <199806150336.WAA26569@battleship.genevaonline.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG At 10:35 PM 6/14/98 -0500, Loren Thiel wrote: >qapp_x11.cpp:46: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory >qapp_x11.cpp:47: X11/Xutil.h: No such file or directory >qapp_x11.cpp:48: X11/Xos.h: No such file or directory >qapp_x11.cpp:49: X11/Xatom.h: No such file or directory >qapp_x11.cpp:2553: X11/keysymdef.h: No such file or directory >gmake[2]: *** [qapp_x11.o] Error 1 >gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/x11/qt/work/qt-1.31/src/kernel' >gmake[1]: *** [kernel] Error 2 >gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/x11/qt/work/qt-1.31/src' >gmake: *** [src] Error 2 >*** Error code 2 > >Stop. >I have no clue to what went wrong....except maybe do I need the source for >X11 installed for KDE to compile?

Look for "Essential System Administration" or whatever. Pick up a Perl book, maybe sendmail if you're into that, maybe "DNS and Bind". Don't overlook books on X. (O'Reilly has some of these -- slightly dated, but what isn't). Look through the Nutshell series. from other places, look for W.R. Stevens, (any title), especially "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment", "Unix Network Programming" (2nd edition!), and his stuff on the TCP protocol, whose title(s) I can't recall. Oh, yeah -- get Greg Lehey's book, the one he spams (just joking!) on this list all the time. (The Complete FreeBSD). I imagine Walnut Creek sells it. The F.S.F sells some bound versions of documentation for gcc, gdb and certain other GNU utilities.

Is there something to configure somewhere to tell FreeBSD that it can uses the 2 ? (by rebuilding the kernel ??) I've seen on another machine where FreeBSD 3.0 was installed. When running applications, in the 'top' output, I could see in the "state" column CPU0 and CPU1 running. But not on my machine, so I believe that I don't use the 2 processors ? Should I swap on FreeBSD 3 ? or is there just simply an option to configure in the kernel building ?

I wanted to get up to date with stable (via CVSup). My connection to the Internet is via a PPP link, and the IP address for my end of the PPP link changes from connection to connection. As I don't have a permanent IP address, the name of my machine is still mymachine.my.domain (dafault of rc.conf). cvsup complains because it can't resolve this name. I could get around this by setting the host name after the the PPP - linkup, but it is a kludge (and this won't work when I set up a private network with PPP aliasing). Is there a better solution ?

A few weeks ago i installed freebsd on top of my company laptop (DIGITAL 700) using neomagic chipset. Everything worked ok, it even booted from the CD ! But when it came to X server selection i was stuck. Nothing but the 16 color server in 640x400 worked. It came down to lack of support for neomagic chipset. Browsing around Internet gave me a clue of js@mnsinc.com (Jeff Shorey) who actually made a running server on xfree86 on Linux. I grabbed the code and downloaded xfree86 source. The xfree build was painless, but i just could't incorporate jeffs driver. Anyone who mannaged to build one of these ? Or any other clues how to obtain neomagic chipsets running ?

Decided to get FreeBSD about 6 months ago because I wanted to learn UNIX and now I'm doing all sorts of neat stuff. Anyway, this brings me to the point: I'm getting really serious about some projects I've been working on recently and I need some help finding resources. I've heard many book suggestions the last few months and I did some searching on www.amazon.com and came up with a moderate list that seems to cover everything I need to learn. All to often though I get books that don't apply to the OS and/or development tools I'm using or don't go into enough technical detail. I need to learn shared memory programming, how to write daemon processes, socket programming (all in C), networks security and basic stuff about how UNIX works. The list of books I've found follows. It would be very helpful to me if I could get some comments about these books, how well they apply to FreeBSD and if they contain the information I'm looking for. Suggestions for better books would be helpful too. Halting the Hacker : A Practical Guide to Computer Security by Donald L.

Thanks again for any help. P.S. This little snafu raised another question. When does the Atl-Ctrl-Del key combo restart the computer? Only when FreeBSD cannot otherwise intercept the interrupt? FreeBSD would not restart during the time when xdm/X had the keyboard locked up. Took a little wrestling with the keyboard/X to actually get a terminal where I could type 'restart'. > -----Original Message----- > From: Malte Lance [SMTP:malte@webmore.com] > Sent: Friday, June 12, 1998 8:28 AM > To: Rick Siple > Cc: Questions Mailing List (E-mail) > Subject: RE: xdm and vtys > > > On 11-Jun-98 Rick Siple wrote: > > I have noticed some odd behavior from XDM that I am hoping > > someone can enlighten me on.

The machine is running FBSD 2.2.6R. It is not on a LAN. It starts 'user-PPP' at boot time (dial-on-demand) to access my ISP via a dial-up connection. I start 'tcpdump' to a logfile at boot time also. 'named' is running cache-only. I have been running the above configuration (less 'amd') for a few months. The dial-on-demand is well behaved and only brings up the telephone line when I need it. After much hassle (and guidance from the freebsd-questions archive), I finally got 'amd' working, auto-mounting my local cdrom and floppy drive. The problem is that at boot time as 'amd' is starting, a dial-up event occurs, and the boot process suspends (ie. 'amd' does not fork) until what appears to be a DNS query has been completed (or times out). I do not recognise the tcpdump messages, other than that they are directed to my ISPs name servers. I suspected that they may be reverse look-ups, so I added the 'options fake_iquery' to named.boot. No change. Q.

Please also note that I have NFS client and server enabled (I am not sure if this is necessary to make 'amd' work, I guess I need to go back and disable them once again). Also confusing is why 158.152.38.143 > 158.152.38.143 packets are being detected by tcpdump at all. It's only supposed to be looking at 'tun0' which should only see external traffic. Or am I missing something. In rc.conf, I have the following settings (among others): -------- hostname="jezebel.demon.co.uk" # Set this! nisdomainname="NO" # Set to NIS domain if using NIS (or NO). ... amd_flags="-a /a -c 1800 -k i386 -d demon.co.uk -l syslog /a /etc/amd.map" -------- Finally, if I let the dial-up event conplete, 'amd' works fine and only reports the following warning: -------- Jun 14 12:35:46 jezebel amd[108]: NIS domain name is not set. NIS ignored. -------- However, if I pull the telephone plug, I get the following error: -------- Jun 13 21:35:47 jezebel amd[108]: unable to register (AMQ_PROGRAM, AMQ_VERSION, tcp) -------- and the system is so unstable that a 'cd /a/cdrom' will hang all virtual terminals indefinitely.

See their site at http://www.ora.com/ Their books might sometimes not be as "advanced" as those published by more "academic" publishers, but they definitely help you to get the job done. I can comment on one or two of the books in your list. > Practical Unix and Internet Security by Simson Garfinkel and Gene Spafford The de facto reference on the topic. But be advised that it covers a great deal of ground, and therefore it sometimes do not treat individual topics in detail. If you're interested in security-related issues, you might also want to look at "Building Internet Firewalls" by Chapman and Zwicky, also published by O'Reilly. Not only a good book on security, but one which gives you a more solid grip on TCP/IP networking in general. > The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System by Keith > Bostic This should be on the shelf of anyone serious about BSD-style Unix. An excellent book. And after all, it is _the_ reference. :-) Also look at "Unix Power Tools", edited by Jerry Peek, et al., and once again published by O'Reilly. It helps you to realise the power of the environment. Being a C programmer, you may scoff at this suggestion... but take a look at Larry Wall's "Programming Perl" (_again_ published by ORA). Yes, I know... Perl is duct tape. But duct tape can be a damn useful thing to have! Sorry I can't recommend any specific books on C/C++ programming in the Unix environment - not my forte', I'm afraid. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 15 07:00:23 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA16689 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 07:00:23 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from aragorn.hydro.qc.ca (aragorn.hydro.qc.ca [199.22.23.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id GAA16589 for ; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 06:59:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Beaudoin.Jean-Marc@hydro.qc.ca) Message-Id: <199806151359.GAA16589@hub.freebsd.org> Received: id JAA26096; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 09:44:21 -0400 Received: by gateway id ; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 09:58:50 -0400 From: "Beaudoin, Jean-Marc" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: POP3 merging with FreeBSD?

We are in the process of implementing our first FreeBSD server and have in hand the FreeBSD 2.2.6 CD-ROMS. We have a potential client that would need from us to do POP3 merging for their emails. That is, anything that form *@theirdomain.com is to be dropped in the same mailbox (including errors and the famous Internet user nobody@theirdomain.com) They will then retrieve all the content of this mailbox and redistribute the messages to the right persons. Can FreeBSD 2.2.6 do that? Or is there a port that will?

Finally, after about a year, the problem seems to be solved. It actually involves two things. 1) Changed tapes from Sony to Exabyte. The Exabyte tapes cost about 50% more, but made about 80% of the problems go away. 2) Scanned the DISK DRIVES for bad blocks. Kinda bizarre that bad blocks on the disks caused tape drive error messages, but OK. Once the bad blocks were remapped, we went to zero problems. Why the auto-remap didn't work, I don't know. Ahhhh, after a year of aggrevation, my servers are back to the wonderfully stable machines I remember.

I know there are search engines I can install for searching, however, the IP address is always going to be inside html tags. I was wondering if there was a way I could search using FreeBSD for an a particular string in any document with a html extension and have it print a list of all those documents.

Are you talking about unknown hostnames? If so, can we turn off name resolution in popper so it does not try to find it. Here is a little more information on the problem. It does not appears to happen all the time, but it seams to happen on only certain emails, even ones as small as 400k Unfortunatly, I am a public ISP and a number of my customers are publishers and marketing firms and they depend on email to send and receive large graphic files.

FreeBSD (And other Unices) doesn't see hard drives the same way as other OS's. First of all, there are no drive letters: (In FreeBSD) wdc0 = The First IDE Controller (Primary) (UNIX starts counting with 0) wd0 = The First IDE Drive (Primary Master) wd1 = The Second IDE Drive (Primary Slave) wdc1 = The Second IDE Controller (Secondary) wd2 = The Third IDE Drive (Secondary Master) wd3 = The Fourth IDE Drive (Secondary Slave) Second of all, what other OS's call partitions, FreeBSD calls "slices": wd0s1 = The First slice on the Primary Master IDE Drive. (Commonly C: in DOS) And Third of all, FreeBSD further divides "slices" into (now this is confusing) "partitions" (Somewhat analogous to Logical Partitions in Extended Partitions in DOS): wd1s1a = The First partition on the First slice on the Primary Slave IDE Drive. (Commonly the root filesystem "/") That little bit of info, plus everything available in the FAQ and Handbook on the website should get you going.

I wrote a perl script to go to a web site and copy the page to an email to be sent to me (so I would have a daily status message while I was on vacation). The script worked well when tested from the command line. When I inserted it into my crontab using tkcron (as well as crontab -e), and ran it with a 2 digit hour field (say 10 AM daily), it ran once, like it was supposed to. But then I changed it to 6 AM, (single digit) and it hiccuped. It ran every minute starting at 6 AM for 60 minutes. So when I came back from my vacation, I had like 900 messages when I should have only had 15. Does anyone know why this kept running like this? I have since tried it from here on two machines, with the same results. I have also tried /etc/crontab, with the same results. It's strange. I'm back, so this isn't a problem anymore, but I'd like to know what I am doing wrong. My other cron scripts work like they are supposed to.

Yes, several folks have used it successfully.

There exists a solution by changing the Registry settings for Windows NT. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Rdr Under Rdr create a key named Parameters and in Parameters create a DWORD value named EnablePlainTextPassword and give it a value of 1. So finally: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Rdr\Parameters will have a DWORD value EnablePlainTextPassword with value 1. Reboot the system and u can log on from Windows NT. This might work for Windows 98.

The basic hardware is ok as it works under both W95 and os/2 warp 4. I've read the online handbook and the setup goes fine, it even makes sense (more below), but I get no little squiggles on the page. The hardware is a generic pentium mboard, 233 mhz, 64 megs, BIG disks, 2 ser, 1 parallel, this hooked to an HP laserjet IIIP. So, lp daemon starts up, ps aux | lpr (through your suggested little laserjet filter) produces job control and output queue files which I can see and read, the printer starts whrring, and a blank page comes out. The output file in the queue looks ok, all the right characters are there, there don't seem to be any permission problems and clearly the system knows the printer is there and can reach it 'cause this blank page comes out..... Second clue: on boot, I get the messsage: "lpt1 not probed due to address conflict with lpt0" and the address range is shown (which is the same as the one shown for lpt0). So, I think, an interrupt conflict (why the kernel is configured for a second lp port, I haven't a clue because there is not hardware for it), and I use lptcontrol to switch to polled mode. No luck. So, I try to access lpt1 by: date | /dev/lpt1. The message is "Port not configured.". Date | /dev/lpt0 produces nothing. Am I getting nothing because of the conflict? Do I nuke lpt1? If so, how do I do that? Sincerely yours in unix frustration, bob Optional Comment: Printcap is basically a good idea, it is consistent with the way terminals are handled..... And, I sure would like to see a basic set of printer definitions bundled with the ditribution (maybe there is one and I misssed it, the distribution is large). Thankfully, by the time I started using unix there were lots of termcap entries around to look at, the same for printcap would probably be really helpful.

He's currently running 2.2.2-RELEASE (I know we should upgrade, which we're trying to do, but the problem we're experiencing is preventing that from happening). The problem is that the machine would spontaneously reboot without warning. He and another friend of his finally got some remote logging set up, and this is what they found the last time it rebooted: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xd fault code = supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf0129e32 stack pointer = 0x10:0xefbffdfc frame pointer = 0x10:0xefbffe04 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 25263 (make) interrupt mask = bio panic: page fault syncing disks... 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 giving up Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort Rebooting... In this particular instance, it rebooted during the "make buildworld" process. However, it doesn't seem to make a different what process is running at the time. At first we thought it was memory, but we swapped out the memory (it has 128 MB) and it still had problems. Then we became suspicious of the swap drive, thinking perhaps it had a bad spot on it somewhere. However, on the last crash, he was monitoring it, and it hadn't even dipped into swap yet (at least it hadn't appeared to... maybe it did and that's what caused the reboot... don't know). We've noticed before that in, say, compiling a kernel, it will almost invariably fail the first time (but won't crash the machine). Then, if you do "make" again on the kernel, it'll pick up where it left off and finish successfully. Obviously, I don't like seeing that, because that tells me something is definitely wrong. Given the output above, does anyone have any theories as to what the problem might be?

I'm assuming eggdrop and pine are running on the machine that's not connected to the cable modem. Have you followed all the instructions in the natd man page? Does pinging work?

Are the cloned routes > hanging around despite the gateway IP number changing ? Well, I've been trying to duplicate the error all weekend without any success. I suppose that the problem must have been in something other than PPP. No old cloned routes hang around. The real IP numbers hang around when the link is down, but I suppose they are really the best possible guesses for the new dynamic IP numbers. The only problem I can forsee with this strategy is a dial-up caused by netstat -r while offline. Of course, this can be corrected by your ppp.linkdown suggestion.

Well, it doesn't. To the extent that sendmail "stores" mail, it does so (in FreeBSD) in /var/spool/mqueue. >how comes sendmail knows where to store it? for example >on linux mails are stored at /var/spool/mail >so should I recompile sendmail? if so >where may I find the sources? sendmail (basically) acts as a switch: for a given message, the (envelope) recipient addresses are analyzed, and the message is routed to appropriate "delivery agents" for each recipient address. The delivery agent that (in a FreeBSD system) puts messages in /var/spool/mail is /usr/libexec/mail.local, the sources for which may be found in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/mail.local. (Please note that the sources to sendmail proper are in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/src.) So... there are lots of ways to make local mail delivery occur in a different place. Among those ways: * Recompile & install mail.local, after having hacked the source. * Make /var/mail a symbolic link to someplace else. * Change the sendmail.cf (preferably -- my opinion -- by creating/ modifying an appropriate .mc file & using "make" to create a new sendmail.cf) that uses a program other than /usr/libexec/mail.local for the "local" mailer (identified in sendmail.cf by the line that begins "Mlocal") -- preferably, one that both puts the mail where you want it and is (at least) as reliable as mail.local. To do this, define "LOCAL_MAILER_PATH" in your .mc file. * Set up an alias for each mail recipient that directs the mail to some process of your choosing, and which (presumably) would deliver the mail as you desire. Please note that the 2nd option (above) would still allow the mail to seem to be in /var/mail, which might be an advantage, as the various Mail User Agents (that expect mail to be in a particular place) need not be changed.

That's not correct. You can install *FROM* a FAT partition, but FreeBSD requires it's own partition. When you've installed FreeBSD, fdisk (DOS) will report the partition type as `unknown'. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Chen ------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 15 14:35:16 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA02527 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 14:35:16 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from admin.inetport.com (inetport.com [204.96.100.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA02484 for ; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 14:34:33 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from scottp@inetport.com) Received: from inetport.com (area51.inetport.com [204.96.100.238]) by admin.inetport.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA13490 for ; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 16:34:33 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <35859348.51FD0C75@inetport.com> Date: Mon, 15 Jun 1998 16:34:00 -0500 From: Scott Parrish Reply-To: scottp@inetport.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.30 i586) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: distribution of FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi !

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello: Recently,some of our Server always down due to the FFS error. the situation can be describe below: The server is an incoming mail hub running with qmail, so messages only stay in queue dir of qmail for a very short period. program "qmail-smtpd" create a unique file in a temp directory ,and link it to another directory with its inode as the new file's name,and this file is a "message file",and unlink the temp file.then qmail will open another file in another queue directory for rcpt info with the name as the "message file" and as the message file's name is the same of its inode then the name is unique in the file system. and after the qmail-smtpd writes the whole messages into the queue and then do some link and unlink of the rcpt info file,and pull up a trigger to notice qmail-send to send the message with a named pipe then qmail-send will checked the message and rcpt info as soon as it get the trigger,and as our server is an incoming mail hub,then the message will be local deliveried and after the deliveried the all files in the queue directory will be unlinked,As the local delivery is very fast,the message will stay in the queue only for a very short time after the trigger is pulled Then the inode of the message file is released and used for another message file some times, and these files look just the same,with same names and same inodes (as inode is its name). And our server is very stable when the number of qmail-smtpd is no more then 50 or 60. but when the number of process qmail-smtpd become larger, for example 150 or 160, it will always crash after some time (may be several hours,maybe just one hour) ,and each time it crashed due to the panic of "freeing free block",and when it crashed actually the avg load wass not high,and there are still many memory to use. so we think may be it's a hardware error,then we changed the harddisk and reinstall BSD, and also we mount the file system which contain qmail queue directory with option "sync". but when the number of qmail-smtpd become larger,the problem still exist and as another servers of us running with the same hardware but not used as incoming mail hub run well,and we never saw any hardware error warning before or after the system crash and each time the crash is due to panic of "freeing free block" even we recreated the FS which contain the queue directory,we guess maybe there is something wrong with the FFS, so is there any "race condition" in FFS which will cause panic "freeing free block",as we know panic "freeing free block" is due to refreeing some of the blocks,so it's very hard to find out the error,because wrong block could be free in some time long before the crash,and only when the right file unlinked and the refreeing will cause the panic.

And quite a few more ifs and buts to take care Well, let's assume your file is space separated... cat filename | awk '{ print $1; }' would print the part you want to look at. Perl would probably work the best but you would benefit more from learning AWK. I know someone else suggested this. Learn AWK. In terms of usefulness, I know people who would write a perl script to sort a list of numbers. Perl has its uses, but in terms of general purpose powerful tools, I find awk a more useful program to have in your toolbox. -Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 15 16:22:38 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA18469 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 16:22:38 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from modgud.nordicdms.com (h-21-167-107.summation.com [207.21.168.107] (may be forged)) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id QAA18454 for ; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 16:22:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from walton@nordicdms.com) Message-Id: <199806152322.QAA18454@hub.freebsd.org> Received: (qmail 485 invoked from network); 15 Jun 1998 23:22:13 -0000 Received: from mail-ftp.nordicdms.com (HELO mail-ftp) (207.21.168.100) by mail.nordicdms.com with SMTP; 15 Jun 1998 23:22:13 -0000 From: "Dave Walton" Organization: Nordic Entertainment Worldwide To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Mon, 15 Jun 1998 16:22:13 -800 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: Webmin Reply-to: walton@nordicdms.com In-reply-to: <199805140024440448.02FAF632@mailgate.execpc.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Check this out: http://www.webmin.com/webmin/ The base system appears to have been developed for Linux, but I suspect it would be relatively easy to adjust the various modules to work with FreeBSD.

This version seems to work fine with three caveats: 1) After fips is done doing its thing, command.com tries to restart and gets an "out of memory" error, and the (dos) system halts. This is using a floppy made from a W95 system. This doesn't seem to harm anything. 2) Booteasy (from 2.2.6 R) shows "???" for the resulting DOS partition. This can probably be fixed by using a newer booteasy. It boots both partitions just fine though. 3) 2.2.6 R can't mount the fat32 partition. This can probably be fixed by using -stable or applying some patches. I'll check around for solutions to 2 and 3.

Look for "daily panic", and the "Dave Rivers memorial panic" in the freebsd-hackers mail archive. [You can get to the freebsd mail archives from the freebsd.org web page.] However, we have not been able to nail this down. But, there is some good news. People have reported that the problem appears to have gone away in version 3.0 (likely as a good side-effect of other changes.) You might want to try using 3.0 on your server.

What ou really wanted is "chmod .??*". The "?" foreces a match of exactly one character. Boot you machine single user and try fixing things then. FYI, chmod is in /bin/chmod. If that doesn't work, try booing single user from the install floppy or the fix-it floppy.

Look for "daily panic", and the "Dave Rivers memorial panic" in the freebsd-hackers mail archive. But, there is some good news. People have reported that the problem appears to have gone away in version 3.0 (likely as a good side-effect of other changes.) You might want to try using 3.0 on your server.

A denial of service attack (DoS) attempts to keep a machine from being servicable by overwhelming it with requests or by disabling a server, rending it useless.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I hope this is the right list... Ok, I've been trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.6 over FTP via modem for quite some time, without a great deal of success. The problem seems to lay in the TCP/IP negotiations with my ISP. When I connect using the 2.1.7 boot disk, I enter my user name and password, then get a line saying it's connected (something like "beginning connection from 207.59.147.205 to 207.59.147.1".. although those numbers are made up). Then, it waits for a few seconds, and puts me back at the ppp packet mode prompt. When I install using the 2.2.6 boot disk though, it gives the "beginning connection" message, then just stops. It never goes back to a ppp prompt, although if I press I get one. I've tryed installing numberous times, using exactly the same settings for 2.1.7 as 2.2.6. Every time, 2.1.7 works, and 2.2.6 doesn't. I assume that the default ppp settings in 2.2.6 must be different from 2.1.7, and, somehow, incompatible with my ISP. Does anyone have any idea which settings I should try changing? I've allready tryed typing "set openmode passive" before I switched into terminal mode and dialed and "set 0 0 HISADDR" (or something like that, I know I had the command right when I typed it during install, I'm just not 100% sure I have it right now) both before and after I dialed. It didn't seem to a make any difference. The TCP/IP stack still didn't appear to be negotiated, and, when I told it to start the installation, it errored the moment I pressed . I also tried installing 2.2.6 via the 2.1.7 boot disk by changing the release name in the options menu. All seemed to be working, so I shut off the monitor, and went to bed. The next morning I found an error, and this as the last few lines in my log: usr/lib/compat/libg++.so.3.0 usr/lib/compat/libgmp.so.2.0 96 blocks MAKEDEV: arithmetic expression: syntax error: "1 << 29" I would really like to install FreeBSD 2.2.6, but would prefer not to have to purchas a CD or any other physical medium at this time. Does anyone have any idea how I could do that? I'm sure there are a few "set" commands that I could type to resolve my problem, although I have no what idea what they could be. And, if nobody knows the answer to that, perhaps someone could give me some tips on installing 2.2.6 with the 2.1.7 floppy. Here's some info about my computer. I have no idea if it will be of any value, but I figure it couldn't hurt to provide it: Pentium 75 over clocked to 120. I've tryed installing with it at 75 though.. 24 meg of non EDO RAM, no cache. 1 gig hard drive (master) and 4x CDROM (slave) on primary IDE connecter. 500 meg drive set as primary on secondary connector. I'm attempting to install FreeBSD to the 500 meg drive. Matrox Mystique video card with 4 meg of RAM. 33.6 Logicode non pnp modem. No sound card currently installed. Regular 1.44 meg floppy ISP info: My ISP doesn't appear to use PAP or CHAP (hopefully I got that right). It simply says something to the effect of "Welcome to Auracom", then asks my username and password. DNS servers: 204.50.137.1 and 204.50.138.2 (the 138 isn't a typo) Gateway: 204.50.137.205 When installing 2.1.7, I set my gateway and IP as 0 so they could be associated dynamically. This seems to have worked fine. When installing 2.2.6 I tryed using both 0, and the gateway that my ISP provided. It didn't seem to make any difference. Ok, I guess that about does it. Thanks for looking over my problem. Hopefully someone has some ideas.. thanks.

FreeBSD does NOT support NTFS, however, so you'll either need to shrink your NTFS partition or buy a new disk to put FreeBSD onto.

Thnx, I'll get into the technicalities .. :) The answer to the question is that you don't. The filesystem FreeBSD uses, the Unix or Fast File System, is designed to avoid fragmentation in its basic design. The filesystem spaces files out on the disk so that files can be written contiguously, which is unlike FAT which just uses the next available block. UFS depends on there being blank space on the FS to write new files to; it helps this by reserving 10% of the FS space off. (Root can override the restriction and use this space.) However, if the disk becomes full, the FS has trouble finding contiguous blocks to write files in, so it has to fragment them. You can `de-fragment' the disk by backing everything up, newfs-ing the disk, and restoring, which rewrites and reorganizes all the files. To prevent the problem, keep tabs on the `df' command. If usage gets up around 90% (depending on the size of the FS) you should clean things up. Hoe this helps.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but I think you want to use ipfw to block any addresses that aren't part of your network.

No, a CDROM is not an IDE hard disk. If that was the only IDE CD in the system it shows up as wcd0.

I still don't see anything here that's truly important. If you back up: /etc/* /usr/local/etc/* `ls -l /var/db/' # installed packages /sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL # hardware setup you can easily resurrect a wrecked system. When people have problems, I usually ask for `dmesg' first, then any application-specific setup files. Massive output with lots of irrelevant bits from a program would just lead to -questions bloat. Anyway, this is academic; if you'd like to see a tool like the below, then hack something up.

Hm, Asus's page doesn't list a P2B-LS, there's an L and an S but no LS. The P2B-S says it's a 7890, which requires CAM.

IPFW will work, but if yuo want, there is an option for FTP which limits connects. I'm not sure what it is. Also, you could hack ftpd and telnetd to only accept connection from your domain.

I certainly don't need 5000 daily complaints from angry >users and frustrated bosses :) Let me restate that for you. "Email is the *one* thing that will fire up an otherwise brain-dead user to action!" This is one reported email message from one user about one problem of a machine of unknown configuration and administration about a problem which has shown up, but hasn't been tracked down yet. Don't get too "fired-up". >Should I be sticking with our NT mail servers for now? If you really want to puke your guts out with nervousness then you can read the entire GNATS database. All bugs great and small are in there. Perhaps you would like to compare the FreeBSD freely distributed GNATS database with the one that M$ allows everyone to read? I wonder how many unimplemented calls still exist in the TCP/IP stack that M$ won't bother to fix until Bugtraq tells all the script baby crackers where to strike for a denial of service. I guess some people might be more comfortable taking a weapon of unknown shortcomings into battle than one that they know has a glitch. I love the fact the FreeBSD is open regarding the problems it has. My point is this. Don't let one exuberantly stated bug sway you from choosing a very good product. If there is a certifiable bug, the FreeBSD project will tell you what it is and how to fix it. M$ will let it slide for while and then make you pay for the fix in the next upgrade. The busiest FTP site on the net runs FreeBSD. An overloaded FreeBSD server in a saltwater bath is more stable than NT running in a vacuum with no users. Don't be nervous. Be confident that FreeBSD is the _best_ platform for providing internet services.

I would suggest enabling the laptop PCCARD options in the kernel and rc.conf. This will enable some extended functinality in power management and a more robust pccard handling system (which can support pccard modems).

This is very, very odd for a new system. If this isn't an upgrade and you can spare it, try reinstalling, but blow away the old filesystem. If this is an upgrade, are you running news on this system? DO you have lots of small files?

Dave has had problems since nearly the very beginning of FreeBSD. If we were able to reproduce the problem, then we'd likely have fixed it. I believe there is a real problem, but it seems to show up in only about 1 in 200,000 systems. It is extremely unlikely that you'll ever see it. I think the problem is sensitive to filesystem layout and possibly some kind of race condition, but that's just a guess based on data that Dave has provided. We successfully handle several hundred thousand emails/day through the project's mail server, so if that's not good enough, then I don't really know what is. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 15 22:31:14 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA17608 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 22:31:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail3.webexpert.net (mail.chenta.com [207.41.42.14]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id WAA17440 for ; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 22:30:15 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Genmarket24568@yahoo.com) Received: from mail.webexpert.net (ha-67.webexpert.net [208.215.176.67]) by mail3.webexpert.net (2.5 Build 2639 (Berkeley 8.8.6)/8.8.4) with SMTP id BAA02282 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 01:23:41 -0400 Message-Id: <199806160523.BAA02282@mail3.webexpert.net> X-Sender: Generations Marketing Association Date: Tue, 16 Jun 1998 07:23:34 From: Geberations Marketing Association To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Earn $100's to $1000's weekly by processing bulk quantities of mail at home and earn up to $4.00 per piece.

Its currently: An Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B or + is a good candidate and isn't too horribly expensive (~$60 I think). You can get cheap Digital based cards for slightly less (like the Dayna, Farallon, or Adaptec PCI cards).

We have 2000+ students and adding them manually would take weeks. The database we export from the school system is (or can be) comma delimted or fixed-field length containing: firstname,lastname,address1,address2,city,province,postalcode,homephone,workphone,emergencyphone,grade,homeroom It would have to: 1) Take the firstname and lastname to generate a username (IE: Ben Pepa --> bpepa) 2) Chop the longernames downto 8 charactors 3) Make duplicate usernames unique (John F Smith, John D Smith --> jfsmith / jdsmith or even jsmith1, jsmith2, etc...) 4) Able to take names and delete them as a batch (say, when our grade 12's graduate, can take the list of graduates and delete their user account) 5) Assign temporary passwords -- maybe their address or postal code Is their any program that does this, or something close to this?

I would be grateful if you could provide me some details on the modification of the kernel (mainly on process scheduling) and the addition of system calls. I am looking forward to your reply.

Well, that's the way it's allways has worked on unix, and if you do bring the system down in singleusermode, init is supposed to be able to lower the securelevel (See init man page), but it doesn't work. So there is a bug somewhere... But I can't see how bringing the system in singleusermode can be exploitable. Init does kill everything before lowering the securelevel, and the system is accessible from console only. If you have set the console to insecure mode it even asks for root's password. --------------------------------- Frode Nordahl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 15 23:40:24 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA02285 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 23:40:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from domperignon.jps.net (domperignon.jps.net [206.170.168.61]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA02219 for ; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 23:40:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from peterp@maisw.com) Received: from saturn (oak-port1162.jps.net [209.142.26.182]) by domperignon.jps.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA11194 for ; Mon, 15 Jun 1998 23:46:23 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <000201bd98f0$debdde00$b61a8ed1@saturn.maisoft.com> From: "Peter M.

I logged (tcpdump) all packets to and from the two hosts and this morning my colleague called me up and said it happened again.

This host is telling monk via icmp that hp is unreachable. I'd bet this is an old NT system (< 3.51). The address of that host is a name which consists of only hex digits - Maybe not important but you never know. I've sent a colleague through the building to take this host from the network.

I have a Dell Dimension P100 with an NEC 273 CD-ROM Drive. My AMIBIOS does not support booting from CD-ROM so I made a boot floppy. I have tried to install both 2.2.5R and 2.2.6R (from CD-ROM distributions). I get the same CD-ROM error, and the installation hangs with a blue screen showing "Probing Devices", just before I would expect to see the first sysinstall menu. I pulled all the ancillary hardware, so only the motherboard was left, but no change. I did note a posting on Hackers (I think) a few weeks ago which suggested that there may be a known problem with some NEC drives. Richard.

Thnx, The fragments reported during fsck time are NOT the same as "fragmentation" which occurs on FAT/FAT32 drives. The "fragments" reported there are the FFS's answer to the problem of files smaller than the block size (the same problem that FAT32 answers). However, BSD's answer is different, and probably more space efficient. When a small file is allocated on the FFS, it takes the 4K (or whatever size) block and "fragments" it into 4 blocks. If you have been writing a lot of small files, you'll get more fragments. As someone else mentioned, you can also get more fragments by having a nearly full disk. Another thing to note about the other type of "defragmenting": Because FreeBSD is a multitasking system, it often does more than one thing on the disk at a time. What this means is that having all your data in one continuous area (what FAT "defragmenters" try to achieve) is less useful (how much so, I can't say). Instead, the FFS tries to allocate the file locations "efficiently" on the disk, using a btree to allocate (I think). I hope this isn't too confusing. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 16 01:13:46 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA20520 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 01:13:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from smtp01.primenet.com (daemon@smtp01.primenet.com [206.165.6.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA20452 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 01:13:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bkogawa@primenet.com) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by smtp01.primenet.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA29576; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 01:13:27 -0700 (MST) Received: from ip211.sjc.primenet.com(206.165.96.211), claiming to be "foo.primenet.com" via SMTP by smtp01.primenet.com, id smtpd029568; Tue Jun 16 01:13:21 1998 Received: (from bkogawa@localhost) by foo.primenet.com (8.8.8/8.8.6) id BAA01751; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 01:15:05 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 16 Jun 1998 01:15:05 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199806160815.BAA01751@foo.primenet.com> To: fewtch@serv.net Subject: Re: FreeBSD <--> Win95 via Ethernet..

I know a lot of folks ask about this, but I don't know what the current answer is (I think the answer used to be "no, it's not too easy"). If the machine you wish to install to is connected to the ISDN (either via LAN or direct serial) you may want to try the net install, which really works (I've even used it over 28.8K modem). >2.

The file systems themselves pretty comprable, although there has been lots of recent ugly flamage about the policies which Linux and BSD implement by default regarding metadata synchronization. I would say that both are fairly similar, but with different default behaviors, but you can swap between the two if you are concerned. Partition size is a matter of taste, mostly having to do with (a) what you are planning on doing now with FreeBSD and (b) how much room you can afford to leave for expansion. 1 gig - 1.5 gigs will give you a good, full user installation of FreeBSD and leave you enough space to put in a medium number of utilities and a few large appliations and leave you enough space for a fair amount of data (e.g. office stuff, mail, and the like). Installing source and building will cut into that space somewhat. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 16 01:33:09 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA23785 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 01:33:09 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.FreeBSD.ORG [204.216.27.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA23764 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 01:32:58 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from malte@webmore.com) Received: from cyclone.degnet.baynet.de (www.degnet.baynet.de [194.95.214.129]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id BAA24442 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 01:32:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from neuron.webmore.com (unverified [194.95.214.162]) by cyclone.degnet.baynet.de (EMWAC SMTPRS 0.83) with SMTP id ; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 10:34:36 +0200 Received: (from malte@webmore.com) by neuron.webmore.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA00858; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 10:30:02 +0200 (CEST) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.2 [p0] on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <19980616081040.53544@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Date: Tue, 16 Jun 1998 10:30:02 +0200 (CEST) Reply-To: malte@webmore.com From: Malte Lance To: Christoph Kukulies Subject: Re: using tcpdump effectively Cc: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com, Doug White Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 16-Jun-98 Christoph Kukulies wrote: > On Mon, Jun 15, 1998 at 08:29:47PM -0700, Doug White wrote: >> On Mon, 15 Jun 1998, Christoph Kukulies wrote: >> >> > >> > To trace down why some network based X11 sessions are spuriously failing >> > I' trying to use tcpdump. >> > >> > What sporadically happens is that a X session to our Mentor Design >> > Architect >> > running on HP is ceased and the connection breaks (we login via rlogin >> > and start the X client with DISPLAY set to the FreeBSD machine.) >> > >> > When the connection breaks we see something like 'no route to host' Who is loosing the route ?

I'll give it a try. I do know how long my UPS can run *from a full charge* on battery power. However, I don't want to make the UPS wait till 100% power before turning back on after a power failure. I'd rather have it turn on at like 25%, knowing that the system will shutdown at 10% if the power goes out again.

My FreeBSD box usually auto-dials our ISP on detection of any traffic. But every now and then, instead of dialling it seems to run into problems. This is what I get when I try to ping a remote host on the internet :- (Pinging local hosts on our LAN works fine) # ping 194.105.166.1 PING 194.105.166.1 (194.105.166.1): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: sendto: No buffer space available ^C --- 194.105.166.1 ping statistics --- 12 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss BTW. No other traffic makes it dial out either. The only way I have found to temporarily solve the problem is to reboot the computer. Any ideas ?

I would suggest the following steps: - Read syslog.conf(5) in detail, until you understand exactly how to configure syslogd. If the facilities and levels seem confusing in the man page, then read up about it in any good book on Unix system administration. - Read the man pages of the individual daemons (ftpd, etc.) that you wish to log to see what they can and cannot tell you (via syslogd). - If a particular daemon will not provide enough information for your liking, then install the tcp_wrappers package and "wrap" the required services behind tcpd. Then read hosts_access(5) to find out how you can get tcpd to log just about anything. You _might_ want to enable the more flexible extensions mentioned in hosts_access(5) by compiling tcpd with -DPROCESS_OPTIONS. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 16 03:10:08 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA09226 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 03:10:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ns.cityip.co.za (ns.cityip.co.za [196.25.223.140]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id DAA09083 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 03:10:01 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from wjv@cityip.co.za) Received: from wjv by ns.cityip.co.za with local (Exim 1.82 #2) id 0ylsee-0006xV-00; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 12:07:52 +0200 Message-ID: <19980616120752.H26576@cityip.co.za> Date: Tue, 16 Jun 1998 12:07:52 +0200 From: Johann Visagie To: Dan Busarow , Malartre Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: /root:"chmod 600 .*" nothing work now Mail-Followup-To: Dan Busarow , Malartre , questions@FreeBSD.ORG References: <3585D0EB.389AA3D7@aei.ca> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.91.1i In-Reply-To: ; from Dan Busarow on Mon, Jun 15, 1998 at 07:35:30PM -0700 X-PGP: ftp://ftp.cityip.co.za/users/wjv/pubkey.asc X-URL: http://www.cityip.co.za/~wjv/ Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Mon, 15 Jun 1998 at 19:35 SAT, Dan Busarow wrote: > > BTW, the command you wanted was chmod 600 .??* But that would miss out any file whose name is a period followed by a single character, e.g. ".a".

The I'm afraid I have no easy off-the-shelf answer for you, except that this is the sort of task that Perl excels at. Any halfway competent system administrator with a working knowledge of Perl shouldn't take more than an hour or so to craft a script or set of scripts to do what you need done. I'd suggest looking at the O'Reilly books "Learing Perl" and "Programming Perl". Even "Learning" (the llama book) has more than enough info in it to get you writing scrips of the sort that you seem to need.

Also in the ports you'll find exim, which is even easier to configure, very flexible, and (unlike qmail) is a drop-in replacement for sendmail. It's not as "lean and mean" as qmail, though, and is probably better suited to very large installations (it has good bandwidth usage limitation features).

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Well - let's see how I can allay those fears. First - the phenomenon appears to happen to a select few around the globe (I believe you would be the fourth or the fifth.) So, for the hundreds of thousands of FreeBSD users - this is not a problem. Second - although it was bothersome - I never actually lost any data. Third - it seems to happen during a protractedly large set of I/O operations (i.e. aging a news spool is the more popular way of getting this to happen.) Fourth - I've copied David Greenman on this. [David - this appears to be similar to the "dup alloc" problems.] He'll have even more good news. Fifth - there are several large ISPs and web sites happily running FreeBSD (who don't get this problem) with thousands of users. So, it's quite doable. I believe we can work through this. Can you provide more detail; such as: 1) The exact panic message, and what appears to be going on when you get it. 2) The panic traceback (you'll need to enable kernel dumping on reboot to get the kernel and core file.) 3) The version of FreeBSD you're using. > > OK, now you've got me nervous!

In my experience, NT mail servers are not adequate to handle more than 10 people. Ours are constantly crashing; and when they do stay up, they seem to loose mail...

You don't need to understand Python to see that I just use a 2 character string as the salt. The returned string 'cryptpasswd' is then put into the master.passwd record; I then call pwd_mkdb and the passwd works. Screwy, i know, but it works - since this is a one-way hash as opposed to encryption/decryption. So, bottomline : try using a random 2 character string. chas >We are developing an .html facility for members to change >their password on-line.

Do you know that the > Intel works otherwise? Thanks for your interest! At this time, I have much more information - and more important (I hope): We tried to measure network traffic. On fxp0 in diskless BOOTP stage, good BOOTP packet is sent (so fxp0 broadcasting works) and good reply from BOOTP server is sent too. But kernel still waits and writes "fxp0: device timeout" (so fxp0 receiving doesn't work). On the same box with Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B card, I have installed FreeBSD-CURRENT. When I'm trying local boot (directly from EasyBoot, before any EEPro/100B configuration - I think), everything is OK.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Actually, we think our server's error is a very rare condition, because we have set up many FreeBSD servers ,and there was nothing wrong actually,and also,as we limit the numbers of qmail-smtpd process to 60,the system seems become stable, and only when the number of smtp connections is over 100,the problem will come out. And actually maybe it's just with qmail (which do many many file operation in mail queue). Our server is a compaq Server ,pentium Pro-200 CPU and 256M,and NCR SCSI card and seagate 4.3G UW HD. and as the load of the system is very low,so we want to bring up the number of the smtp connection, and then the error happen sometimes when there are over 100 smtp connections . Of course we believe that,this is a disk block realloc error and the error message is always "blkfree: freeing free block" which can be found in ffs_alloc.c,and the function is release a whole block which is totally free (and as there are no error of "freeing free frag",so we believe that there is nothing wrong in freeing some space which is not a total block). sometimes we really wants to comment the lines which make the panic error in that file and recompile the kernel :) And now we just limit the number of the SMTP connections and the system seems stable,and may be we will upgrade it to 3.0 later,but we are really want to find out the reason of the problem,as we really spend much time on it,but it's so hard to dig into the code ....... And we think maybe the dumping of the crash is not needed,because the problem must be happened sometime before the crash,and maybe the core couldn't help to find out the problem.

I purchased 2.2.6 from Walnut creek, and am in need of more specific information about the installation. 1. In the kernel configuration, what do I do if the drivers in the list do not match my hardware configuration? 2. Does the installation process modify the information in the configuration NVRAM? 3. If I just want to view the source code, do I have to go through the installation process? What is the process for decompressing the source code? 4. Will the installation process effect my Win95 configuration?

        When I rebuild the Kernel, How to complete
        the following line in GENERIC kernel
        "device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr"
        (My card was PCI Bus not ISA, also I don't know the port & IRQ of the Card"

Thank you very much!

Lastly, with whatever facilities are available, will I be able to write Mode 2 Form 2 sectors? (the kind used on CDI and VideoCD format CDs) In regular CD sectors there is a data block (2048 bytes) and a checksum block (approximately 284 more bytes). In Mode 2 Form 2 you get to use all ~2332 bytes of the sector for data with no checksum info. -- Brian Litzinger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 16 11:09:34 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA21067 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 11:09:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from void.agames.com ([192.245.82.72]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA21060 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 11:09:33 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from schluntz@agames.com) Received: from [192.245.82.126] (wintermute.agames.com [192.245.82.126]) by void.agames.com with SMTP id LAA19216 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 11:08:56 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199806161808.LAA19216@void.agames.com> Subject: FreeBSD and RAID 5 SCSI Controllers.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We got a new machine in this week with the AIC-7895 on board SCSI controller. It sees the Seagate drive attached to it. FreeBSD doesn't see the drive. When I boot, the message scrolls off to quickly, but I saw something like "no driver assigned" when it probed the device. There was no "waiting on devices to settle" message as it hit the drives. Once inside the installation program it said no drives available. This is a P2-400 mother board. I assume this 7895 is a new controller. I'm probably going to have to get a 2940 UW and put it in and hope it wont cause problems with that controller. Advice? Suggestions?

I had some mail problems and I'm not sure if this actually made it out or not. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 15 Jun 1998 11:26:23 -0700 (PDT) From: Bryce Newall To: FreeBSD Questions List Subject: Crash problem Greetings once again, A friend of mine is having some difficulty with his FreeBSD system. He's currently running 2.2.2-RELEASE (I know we should upgrade, which we're trying to do, but the problem we're experiencing is preventing that from happening). The problem is that the machine would spontaneously reboot without warning. He and another friend of his finally got some remote logging set up, and this is what they found the last time it rebooted: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xd fault code = supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf0129e32 stack pointer = 0x10:0xefbffdfc frame pointer = 0x10:0xefbffe04 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 25263 (make) interrupt mask = bio panic: page fault syncing disks... 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 76 giving up Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort Rebooting... In this particular instance, it rebooted during the "make buildworld" process. However, it doesn't seem to make a different what process is running at the time. At first we thought it was memory, but we swapped out the memory (it has 128 MB) and it still had problems. Then we became suspicious of the swap drive, thinking perhaps it had a bad spot on it somewhere. However, on the last crash, he was monitoring it, and it hadn't even dipped into swap yet (at least it hadn't appeared to... maybe it did and that's what caused the reboot... don't know). We've noticed before that in, say, compiling a kernel, it will almost invariably fail the first time (but won't crash the machine). Then, if you do "make" again on the kernel, it'll pick up where it left off and finish successfully. Obviously, I don't like seeing that, because that tells me something is definitely wrong. Given the output above, does anyone have any theories as to what the problem might be?

Hi Dave, I think I wasn't able to state correctly my question in english :-) I don't need the specs for the TU58, I need to know how to program a serial interface under Unix. I have the TU58 User Manual, and it could be used as an example on how to write a PERFECT manual. Clean, with all the hardware specs, and also Pascal pseudocode on how to drive the TU58 :-) If you are wondering what I'm doing with the TU58, well, I use it (under M$-DOS, now) to program an industrial machine (sorry, don't know the english term for it).

Everything runs fine except one small problem. I start X11 from the console (startx). That brings up the X system, fvwm and an xterm. Now i'm logged in twice, from the console and from X11. 'who' and 'w' are reporting that. So far, so good. But when i log out from the xterm and shut down the X server, i am still logged in twice. If i would have opened fife xterms at the same time, then log out from each, and then shut down X11, i'm still logged in six times. I would expect to be logged in only once from the console. I haven't had that behavior while running 2.2.1. Normaly i use the S3V server, for testing i tried the SVGA, but it has the same behavior. I think it doesn't matter which kind of server i'm running. Has anyone an idea what could be wrong or badly configurated ?

That's the good news. In fact, I had some problems with the CD-ROM drive, not related to the fact that it was an upgrade, and had to replace the drive. In the process, I restarted the upgrade several times. This caused certain problems. Some of the messages you get are confusing or even downright frightening. When I get round to it, I'm going to put in a pr on the subject. In the meantime, here are some points: 1. Make a backup at least of / and /usr before you start. This should go without saying for any kind of installation, but enough people forget it. With any reinstallation of any operating system, you have the potential to shoot yourself in the foot. Don't risk it. 2. At the end, the upgrade procedure will complain that you previously had a "decidedly non-standard" installation, because it couldn't find /etc/rc.conf (in 2.1.5, it was called /etc/sysconfig). I haven't followed this one up completely, but I think that you can avoid this problem by making a copy of /etc/sysconfig to /etc/rc.conf before you start the upgrade. If anybody tries this approach, please let me know how it works. 3. If you still have the old "compatibility slice" names in /etc/fstab, you'll need to change them to the full names (for example, /etc/sd0s1a instead of /etc/sd0a). The install instructions suggest you do this after successfully rebooting the new system. I suggest you do it before you start. 4. Make sure you really, really have enough space to complete the installation. This is more important than with a new installation, since there are some things that get confused if you have to restart the installation. 5. In the partition editor, *don't* set the newfs flag. That's a sure recipe for disaster. All you need is to set the mount point name (it will contain a * until you do). 6. The upgrade installation is really a normal installation which doesn't first delete the old files. In addition, it saves a certain number of configuration files and restores them after the installation is completed. It will ask you where to save them (IIRC the default is /usr/tmp/etc, which is fine). 7. If you do have to restart the installation, *don't* save the /etc files in the same place, or you will overwrite the original configuration files with an undefined mixture of old and new. I put them in /usr/tmp/etc2, /usr/tmp/etc3 and so on. Before the end of the installation, I then used the "emergency holographic shell" under Alt-F4 to rename this directory and make the original name a symlink to the original files: # mv /usr/tmp/etc2 /usr/tmp/etc2.foo # ln -s /usr/tmp/etc /usr/tmp/etc2 This enabled the install to restore the original files from the first attempt. Things work fine if you don't need to restart the installation. As it was, when we got the system up again, the configuration was pretty much identical to what it was before. I have a feeling that not too many people try the upgrade install. I'd appreciate feedback from anybody who does (reports of complete success, complete failure, gotchas, etc). Don't expect sympathy if you didn't make a backup and wiped out your system.

Most of the email I've gotten suggests that even though this may be made to work, that the current LDAP code is generally not recommended for production. There are a couple of companies, most notably critical-angle, that have different options for their products. Of note, and of interest, is someone at SUNET (a few people) is working on a complete rewrite of the LDAPv3 specification, creating a new free Directory Server (not sure what it's called). I was contacted by someone working on it, but do not know when they will have a beta for testing. Anyways, I'm wondering if there's been any progress on the available stuff.

For example to configure an ne2000 card one could say check the settings from dos using the setup software that comes with the card. Here one can change the settings etc. Then after all this information is either remembered or written down one can boot Freebsd. At the boot : type in -c and go to visual mode Here one would check the network settings. For the device say ed0 usually 3 settings. i/o address irq and memory address. If these look good for your card exit out , finish boooting and run dmesg and see where a potential confilict can be. After you log in at command line type dmesg maybe add | more so you can page through it. I hope this helps you out. I'm a newbie at this stuff. However, I have gone through much of the same things and maybe I can help you out a little this time. Someone else may also respond who has more knowledge and better writting skills than myself. :-) Till then I'll keep chugging along and learning as I go.

Well, the bootp part (and tftp part) have already succeeded. You've got a kernel downloaded and the boot process started. I guess the next obvious question would be, are the root and /usr filesystems exported to this client by the server?

As i am now on my second day of this nightmare, here's everything I know about what is/isn't going on. I have searched the archives till I have the headache of the century, but to no avail... The scenario is this: I need to set up a bunch of diskless workstations, all to run 2.2.5R, as well as the NFS/tftp/bootp servers which service this group. I have set up a test net of two machines, on their own wire. SERVER: /etc/rc.conf: ....... amd_enable="NO" nfs_client_enable="YES" nfs_client_flags="-n 4" nfs_server_enable="YES" nfs_server_flags="-u -t 12" mountd_flags="-nr" nfs_reserved_port_only="NO" rpc_lockd_enable="NO" (I *would* enable lockd, but it is marked as broken???) rpc_statd_enable="YES" portmap_enable="YES" portmap_flags="" .... /ETC/EXPORTS: / -alldirs -ro -maproot=0 -network blah.blah... /usr -alldirs -ro -maproot=0 -network ... /tmp -network ... /var -network ... In the root directory is a symlink to /usr/tftpboot, therefore, in /TFTPBOOT: drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Jun 16 13:57 204.238.179.205 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 258 Jun 16 16:23 cfg.204.238.179.205 The 204.238.179.205 directory has a full tree (/, /dev, /bin, /etc, blah..) under "rootfs" and the kernel sees the devices when probing, so I assume the /dev is ok. There is a 50k block swap file (dd's from /dev/zero) in "swapfs". The kernel appears to see it when beginning to boot. the contents of the cfg file are: ip 204.238.179.205 server 204.238.179.35 netmask 255.255.255.0 hostname demo.mfn.org kernel kernel rootfs 204.238.179.35:/tftpboot/204.238.179.205/rootfs swapfs 204.238.179.35:/tftpboot/204.238.179.205/swapfs swapsize 50000 (I have also tried adding the line "rootopts rsize=1024,wsize=1024,resvport") showmount -e shows /var, ./usr, and / all available to my netblock ON THE CLIENT SIDE: Booting from the floppy yields: loading cfg.204.238.179.205 ... loading kernel .... npx0 ... panic: nfs_mountroot: SIOCAIFADDR: 6 Now I have to assume that nfs mounts are ok, since the kernel has been loaded, right? The only thing that caught my eye was the load address of the kernel when it started to boot: ... entry 0xF0100000 I'm not used to seeing that first bit set, but then, I've never done a diskless before, so maybe it's normal... Correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what it *looks* like to me: (1) tftp is doing it's job, and then handing things off to bootp (2) bootp is doing it's job, and handing things over to the kernel (3) the kernel begins ok, and then after probing for devices, attempts to mount it's filesystems (again?), and fails, causing the panic. On the assumption that this is the case, I have tried (successfully) to mount these filesystems and directories at the server ("just to see"). I have checked for /val/log/message output from mountd etc., butt there is nothing to be had. Has *anyone* ever gotten this to work under 2.2.5R? If so, would you be willing to part with some setup info? Desperately Yours, J.A.

I think it's "vendor", or "platform". Like I would see "386-sequent-dynix" on an old 8-CPU Sequent machine. Or "alphaev56-dec-osf4.0d" on an Alpha. Or "sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3" on an older Sun box.

Are there any manual pages or some docs? The first (and, if you're lucky, last) place to read is man 4 tty. Depending on how much like a terminal the TU58 is, this might be all you need.

If I am correct in my understanding, FreeBSD runs all of the various rc.xxx files vi /etc/rc. This means that rc is "first" in the various rc order, but is it in fact the very firt non-kernel thing which is exec'd? Note that rc does NOT exec after the npx probe. Assuming (as I am now) that my problem is with the importation of nfs fsystems (export obviously works, based on both my tests and the fact that the dumb thing has actually managed to boot a kernel), where do I go from here?

Upgrade to the latest ppp. It sounds like you've got some stuff in your dial filter and not in your out filter that is just sitting there waiting for a connection......

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I'm considering the purchase of a Dell Dimension R333 or R350. My company has Dell as a vendor, and I can get a serious discount. Hopefully somebody out there can verify that FreeBSD is happy with the hardware used in these machines. I have posted to the XFree86 newsgroup asking whether or not the STB NVidia AGP video card is supported, but any comments from FreeBSD fellows on this issue is more than welcome. One option I'm considering is a 2x DVD IDE CDROM. Have these drives been successfully used with FreeBSD (only mounting CDFS of course)? If so, how do they perform with data transfers? Comparable to IDE 32x drives? The PC also comes default with Turtle Beach Montego 64 sound cards. Any word on them with FreeBSD? Finally, the modem included is called a "WinModem 33.6/56K modem". I have my doubts and might upgrade that to a US Robotics x2 unless anybody out there can verify good performance with this WinModem stuff. Any replies are greatly appreciated. It's currently Tuesday, 6/16/98, and I am looking to perhaps make a commitment by the end of the week. Regards, JM -- Jeffrey M.

Increasing the font size under Edit/Preferences... doesn't help much - going from 12 -> 14 point (variable) or 10 -> 12 point (fixed) is a small improvement. Trying for higher point sizes leads to thick and ugly fonts. Everything looks great under Windows/Netscape or Windows/IE. So... what's up and what can be done about it? Any suggestions? Thanks, Mark P.S. Size really does matter :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 16 19:00:58 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA12778 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 19:00:58 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.capgemini.com.sg ([203.116.11.115]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA12716 for ; Tue, 16 Jun 1998 19:00:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from fschan@capgemini.com.sg) Received: from capgemini.com.sg (123.capgemini.com.sg [10.64.3.18]) by mail.capgemini.com.sg (post.office MTA v2.0 0813 ID# 0-16936) with ESMTP id AAA162 for ; Wed, 17 Jun 1998 09:58:29 +0800 Message-ID: <3587238E.F63C01D@capgemini.com.sg> Date: Wed, 17 Jun 1998 10:01:50 +0800 From: fschan@capgemini.com.sg (Chan, Fook Sheng) X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Subject: questions on Apache user authentication Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi I have tried to send this to the apache new group, but it fail, maybe due to a firewall.

First, in a working cfg file, I have no IP xxx, just the HOSTNAME entry. I notice that demo.mfn.org is not in the DNS. Maybe this causes a problem??? I'd try hostname 204.238.179.205 or give demo an A record in the DNS.

Having said that, I wouldn't have expected the installation to fail because of it. Just in case, try entering something before the '.iquest.net' so you actually have a host name and not just a domain name. > > I go into term and dial out, make connection and get ppp ON>Packet Mode > and then switch back for the install only to get the error. You actually need to get PPP ON>Packet Mode (PPP being in uppercase). Maybe you are not being authenticated properly. If authenticating with Pap/Chap don't forget to set authname/authkey before dialing.

You may sway my decision away from Dell entirely. Unfortunately, I think I can only get the Dimension model on my corporate discount. I have a co-worker who runs his own computer company and builds them, however he knows nothing about FreeBSD. I'm also not sure how much time I want to spend (how much time I really have is what I mean) researching every single com
