I am currently running 2.2.7, with natd sharing the local subnet with an external cable modem via two ne2000 cards. The local is ed0, and the cable modem is on ed1. Everything is working prefectly, and I have several redirect_port commands set up to refer some incoming connections to other machines on the local network. Due to the cable co. discontinuing the cable modems (short sighted, in my opinion) I need to switch back to a dial-up. Assuming I get ppp working and configured, do I just replace "ed1" with "tun0", and defer running natd until after the dial-up has been established to continue using it and all it's redirects? My ISP has given me a static IP, so at least that's not a problem.. Thanks in advance, Rob.

It's ugly but works. But, I think this behaviuor should be stated in the manual page of lpr. Now it says: -r Remove the file upon completion of spooling or upon completion of printing (with the -s option). -s Use symbolic links. Usually files are copied to the spool direc- tory. The -s option will use symlink(2) to link data files rather than trying to copy them so large files can be printed.

I thought of similar things but haven't come to a handy solution yet... I don't know a lot about lpr/lpd interaction and how the cf files are created and how remote printing works in detail. But maybe one day I'll have a look at this. It's really annoying, especially because samba prints with 'lpr -r -s'... -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 16 08:00:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA19349 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 16 Aug 1998 08:00:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from lizard.numard.net ([203.41.12.200]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA19343 for ; Sun, 16 Aug 1998 08:00:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from numard@smartmedia.com.ar) Received: from smartmedia.com.ar (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by lizard.numard.net (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id BAA10657 for ; Mon, 17 Aug 1998 01:00:45 +1000 Message-ID: <35D6F41C.6E241472@smartmedia.com.ar> Date: Sun, 16 Aug 1998 15:00:44 +0000 From: Numard Organization: 0xCode X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.35 i586) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Java on 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! please, re: directly to me, since i;m not subscribed to this list anymore.

However, here are some thoughts: 1) Is your 2.2.7 system an upgrade from an older verion of FreeBSD? How did you do your upgrade? If only some of the files were upgraded while others were not and you attempted a rebuild, I can see all sorts of potential problems with that. 2)You mentioned that this was a new drive. Is there an older copy of FreeBSD on an older drive? Might your system be trying to boot from this older drive? 3) The first time you did your build, the good kernel should have been saved as /kernel.old Save a copy of this as something else. (On your second rebuild the good kernel in kernel.old will be gone) When I am screwing around with a new kernel, I always keep a copy of this saved as "kernel.good" in case I really mess things up. You can specify a particular kernel to boot from at the "boot:" prompt.

FreeBSD uses its own partition, which means you must install a boot manager, to choose which OS you will boot from (for you DOS or FreeBSD).

I tried it on my desktop machine and got the same result a few weeks ago but didn't bother digging into it yet. Looking now at master.passwd, the ones that aren't working have a password field of only 13 characters long whereas the ones that do work have a length of 34 characters. Could there be a connection there? Also what would cause the shorter encrypted passwords?

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Every time I install FreeBSD I get Booteasy. With every new install I try to NOT have installed, but no matter what I do it installs. Just installed 2.2.7 and not only Booteasy was installed, but for the first time I am not able to get rid of it. I use OS/2 boot manager. How I installed 2.2.7: Did label without going into partitioning. Deleted old mount points (slices?) and did new ones (I wanted to change the space allocation). Continue with install. I was not asked if I wanted boot easy or not. After install finished I reboot and found Booteasy install. At first it seemed to be working; I was able to go into win95, OS/2 and FreeBSD. This morning I was not able to go into Win95 and when I went into OS/2 I got OS/2's boot manager and still could not boot Win95. >From OS/2 tried re-installing the boot manager. Tried deleting the FreeBSD partition. Finally I boot from a win95 floppy and did "sys c:". I STILL get booteasy, but at least now I can get into win95. Questions -How do I get rid of booteasy so I can re-install OS/2 boot manager? -What do I have to do TO NOT GET booteasy. With every install I have ever done of FreeBSD I have tried at one point or another all three boot options (Boot manager, normal and leave boot record alone) and it seems boot easy get's installed no matter what. At least on previous versions I was able to re-install OS/2 boot manager.

This article relating to obtaining CDROM from sites in Australia is outdated. I attempted to contact Advanced Multimedia Distributors and CDROM Support BBS. They are now residential telephone numbers. Advanced Multimedia Distributors do not list as a business anymore. I could not find out about CDROM Support BBS as they were in Western Australia. I was wondering if you know of anyone else who distribute FreeBSD CD's in Australia? Regards.

FreeBSD: good, solid, easy to use system on Intel only (in fact, this is no longer completely true: a version for Alpha is becoming available) NetBSD: As many platforms as possible. More of a hacker's operating system. OpenBSD: Derived from NetBSD. Specifically addresses security issues.

I am using a Pentium-75 with 16mb RAM and a Seagate 2.1GB hard drive. I currently run Windows95 with FAT32 installed on the Seagate. I know that the version of FIPS does not work with FAT32 so I went off onto the FreeBSD ftp site and downloaded the newest version. It is FIPS 1.5C and as you probably know, it does support FAT32. I followed all the instructions, I made a boot disk, put the fips files onto it, ran Scandisk and Defrag (the Win95 versions), I shoved in the floppy, ran the proper Shutdown sequence in Win95 and reset. FIPS recognized it was FAT32 and all the information provided seemed to fit everything described in FIPS.DOC. However, when it comes to the part when I select the size of the paritition it will only gives me upto 15.8MB (1014-1021 cylinders) to create it with (even though I have about 980MB free on the disk). So I decided to disable the Virtual memory, I ran DEFRAG again. It still would only give me a max of 15.8MB. So I rebooted (put back the Virtual memory and such) and ran DEFRAG just to see what the drive looks like. It seems that there is some "Data that will not be moved" (As the Microsoft Defrag legend puts it) near the end of the drive (I assume probably at the 1013 cylinder). Is there any way to get around this with FIPS, or any other program (Partition Magic)? Are there any programs that can identify certain those sectors so I can delete them? I would like to avoid reformatting the drive, but I will if I have to.

Defrag won't move files that are have the system, hidden, and maybe the readonly attributes set. Doing a dir /ah /s, dir /as /s, or dir /ar /s will list all the files with those attributes. Then you can remove the attributes, defrag, and re-set them. This may break some older copy-protection schemes (I happen to know of one that actually does track the cluster a file occupies), but since you already have FAT32, you probably don't have that problem (meaning FAT32 would break them anyways). >Is there any way to get around this with FIPS, or any other program >(Partition Magic)?

But it appears I have no choice? AFAIK FreeBSD hasn't tried to maintain binary compatibility to NetBSD, although if it builds on NetBSD it should compile on FreeBSD.

You probably confused the heck out of the network code by moving the networks around without reifconfiging. Simply `ifconfig xx0 down; ifconfig xx0 up' should clear it up.

Your ftp server should pick it up though. Which one are > you using? I don't recall installing DES, but I may very well have when I upgraded it from 2.1.0 to 2.2.6. It appears that any user added since the upgrade not only has the shorter encrypted password but also cannot ftp in (the machine only has a couple of users). The ftpd I'm using is wu-ftpd 2.4.2 which was also installed before the upgrade. I may try proftpd since I found mention of a problem with wu-ftpd and logins in the email archives, unfortunately there wasn't much info there about the problem.

When I pkg_delete packages I built and installed out of the ports tree, it invariably warns me about manpages that "don't really exist". I've checked that the pages _do_ exist before the pkg_delete, and also that they _don't_ exist after the pkg_delete. I've checked the open PR's and -questions mail archives for clues and haven't found anybody else experiencing this problem. Any ideas what could be causing the apparently bogus warnings on my system?

Actually, Mac isn't the only author. Anyway, http://cseng.aw.com/bookdetail.qry?ISBN=0-201-54979-4&ptype=0 points to a short description and you can order it online, it looks like. There's that book, and also "The Magic Garden Explained" is a great book about SysV internals, which is similar in some ways, very different in others. You might want to get that book for contrast. Sometimes, when trying to learn how something works, it's helpful to find out about another implementation that is completely different. Other than that, if you know C really well, reading through the code in the BSD source tree would be a good thing to do. If you go to ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems, (i think), there are several unix source trees to choose from, including 4.3BSD Reno or Tahoe, which are slightly older than the code FreeBSD comes from.

The only thing you have to do FreeBSD-wise is add an alias to the interface for the VD's IP, and that's documented in /etc/rc.conf. Everything else is package-specific.

I'm using one, except it has no auto termination at all, so you'll need to get a terminator for the internal SCSI cable. I'm also using it on a Asus 875. For the money though, for with an Atlass II, much better by and worth the little bit of extra money.

Oh, I did that on any actual operation. I finally found the problem. In the handbook, it shows that you have to do a dd of two sectors before you begin, which is what my original list didn't have. I don't know why the dd is in there, but my disk is now up and running (yes, it's dangerously dedicated, but the "dd" above is the command, not an abbreviation). > > > newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): Invalid argument > > newfs: /dev/rsd2e: can't rewrite disk label > > This disk is 'dangerously dedicated', right? > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 17 11:18:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA15693 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 17 Aug 1998 11:18:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from nightfall.forlorn.net (nightfall.forlorn.net [207.114.150.221]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA15556 for ; Mon, 17 Aug 1998 11:17:35 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dspencer@nightfall.forlorn.net) Received: (from dspencer@localhost) by nightfall.forlorn.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA02456; Mon, 17 Aug 1998 11:16:46 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <19980817111646.B2355@nightfall.forlorn.net> Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1998 11:16:46 -0700 From: Dave Spencer To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: mysterious compilation failure Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93.2 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi folks, I'm trying to port to FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE an application that we have previously ported to six flavors of UNIX, including BSDI. The compilation process succeedes until it reaches the linking stage. The link command is in the following format: gcc -L -g -l -lm -lc_r -ll -lstdc++ -o At that point, I see many error messages such as the following: XFrameBuffer.o: Undefined symbol `RunningAverage::~RunningAverage(void)' referenced from text segment XFrameBuffer.o: Undefined symbol `RunningAverage::~RunningAverage(void)' referenced from text segment XFrameBuffer.o: Undefined symbol `RunningAverage::dAverage(void)' referenced from text segment XFrameBuffer.o: Undefined symbol `RunningAverage::dAverage(void)' referenced from text segment cup.o: Undefined symbol `_ba_init_set_buffer' referenced from text segment ecvt.o: Undefined symbol `_ba_init' referenced from text segment ecvt.o: Undefined symbol `_ba_smr' referenced from text segment ecvt.o: Undefined symbol `_ba_mono_low' referenced from text segment ecvt.o: Undefined symbol `_ba_stereo' referenced from data segment ecvt.o: Undefined symbol `_ba_joint' referenced from data segment ecvt.o: Undefined symbol `_ba_dual' referenced from data segment ecvt.o: Undefined symbol `_ba_mono' referenced from data segment init.o: Undefined symbol `_ba_init_addr' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_yylex' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_tabcount' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_tabcount' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_yyleng' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_tokenpos' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_tokenpos' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_lineno' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_lineno' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_lineno' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_tokenpos' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_yyleng' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_tabcount' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_yyin' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_yyrestart' referenced from text segment parsetab.o: Undefined symbol `_yyin' referenced from text segment Usually, these mean that, well, the symbol hasn't been defined. Unfortunately for me, a look at the ar archives with nm leads me to conclude that, yes, these symbols _are_ (theoretically) present in the libraries that I'm linking together here. They are noted to have T or D mode where they're supposed to, and U mode in the objects that reference them externally. Just like they do on the other platforms. I've done a symbol-by-symbol comparison between the FreeBSD archives and some on other platforms, and I have to conclude that something is uniquely different in the FreeBSD link stage. The archives seem fine. I am using gmake 3.76.1 and gcc 2.8.1. I have also tried with gcc 2.7.2.2, to this same result. When I tried it on a 2.2.5-RELEASE box, the compile failed due to some unsupported threading structures in 2.2.5. I'm stumped. The linking command I showed above is the latest attempt I've made at it, but it's only working slightly better than the original attempt. (It helped to ask libc_r for pthreads support instead of asking libc...) Can anybody help me track down what's causing this?

I put it on a 2 gig file server. After that 8 of my mate and I (all with differnent PC's) copied the files over to our systems, and then installed starting with the boot floppy. We ran in to alot of problems, most was not finding a file during the install, one could not find anything. I imaged the same folder structure that was in the handbook on every box, we formated our PC's and did this two more times still with 0 results. Could you please let me know what the secret formula is to install FreeBSD. We are all pretty decent UNIX users and some Admins. We have heard good things about FreeBSD so we thought that we would give it a try and maybe replace our LinuX servers with it, if it is good as we have heard. Thank you. Christian J.W.

Two problems: 1. your fstab is now whacked, make sure you fix it. 2. FreeBSD has trouble coping with two FreeBSD slices on the same disk. It'll try to boot the one it finds first. > What can I do to get the bootloader to recognize my old root partition > on wd1s2a so that I can boot?

You can attempt to override it by specifying wd(1,a)/kernel on the Boot: prompt, but no guarantees.

Hm. LCDs don't have horizontal and vertical frequencies in the conventional sense. Your best bet is to give the maximum values for the horizontal & vertical frequencies to pick up some modelines. Ideally the SVGA server should be recognizing your LCD display and offering modelines that work. Check the SVGA server start output and see if it's seeing your LCD (it'll report it's type, probably DSTN for a dual-scan).

To fix, boot a DOS boot floppy with fdisk on it (the first DOS install floppy does, I think) and run fdisk /mbr to reset the MBR, then fdisk again and select the desired partition.

Will dump and restore restore order to the descriptors? When you get fsck problems, run fsck until it comes back clean. Always.

FreeBSD, and to that effect XFree86, support AGP cards. Most AGP cards act just like their PCI counterparts. FreeBSD couldn't care less as long as your display card supports text mode. XFree86 is the one you really want to watch for; see http://www.xfree86.org/ for info.

In answer to my own question, I offer this: The file /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk, which is used during a make install, has recently been modified to automagically add any manpages that are specified in the Makefile's MANx variables to the port's PLIST. This means that, for a little while, a few ports that are installed with the new bsd.port.mk may have duplicate entries for their manpages in the packing lists. I see there's already an enormous amount of PLIST trimming happening, so "a little while" probably won't last too long. Ciao, Sheldon.

Did I see this already? I've been debugging X problems and have all the threads mixed up :-( How are you starting X? The problem is that your X server is crashing before the clients get started. Error 61 is Connection Refused, so some daemon (xdm?) isn't getting started.

Then I installed a web server (Apache 1.3.1) and again I didn't have a lot of problems. But the problems arise when I tried to have virtual hosts in the web server. It's necessary to configure the interface (de0) with more than one IP, with the ifconfig command. I use the following: ifconfig de0 inet 195.57.19.33 alias And this is the response of the system: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists. I suposse it is an error. Nevertheless, the system accept the alias and I can make ping to this alias from another computer of the network, but the system does not recognize this alias, like it does not exist. Next I modify the rc.conf file (at /etc) and add the following: ifconfig_de0_alias0="inet 195.57.19.33" ifconfig_de0_alias1="inet 195.57.10.34" When I reboot the system, I obtain the following error messages: de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists. ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists. And, of course, the system doesn't recognize the alias :( I don't know where is the problem and why these messages appear, could someone help me?

Under FreeBSD, it causes an exception. I could have sworn there was some way to specify which behavior one wanted, but I can't find it anywhere. Is there any way in FreeBSD to say ``just return NaN'', or will it always SIGFPE me? Or, is there any way to write a signal handler that will catch the SIGFPE, and tell it to just use a value of NaN, and resume execution? I'm already trapping signals and installing signal handlers in this app, so installing another one would be No Big Deal. TIA.

I can use sd3 though, and sd[0-2]s1 with no problems. All the disks are wired-down, and there are two SCSI controllers in use, sd0-2 on one, and sd3 on the other, which is an `amd' controller. Here's the relevant part of my kernel config: controller amd0 controller scbus1 at amd0 disk sd3 at scbus1 target 3 controller ahc0 controller scbus0 at ahc0 disk sd0 at scbus0 target 0 disk sd1 at scbus0 target 1 disk sd2 at scbus0 target 2 #device sd0 device st0 device cd0 The amd chip gets probed first, but I wanted the other disks to be named first. I am experiencing a similar problem on another machine which has only sd0 wired-down. I can't use sd[12]s1 (but I can use sd[12] and sd0s1). Here's its config: controller aha0 at isa? port "IO_AHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector ahaintr controller ahc0 controller scbus0 at aha0 disk sd0 at scbus0 target 0 device st0 device cd0 The ahc's (two controllers) get probed first, but I wanted the disk on aha0 to be named first. All of the /dev files are there. What am I doing wrong, or is this some kind of bug? Please reply by email.

Thanks for the reply. I have everything under control now. I have had this problem with Booteasy with EVERY install. I have tried in many different ways and I think that I have used spacebar to select None. On the last case I described I never got the screen at all since I only did the labeling and no partitioning. Booteasy got installed. My guess that if one never goes into the partition screen that Booteasy is the default.

Ps will do this too on SGI (and maybe others) if utmp gets hosed for instance. Such processes are locked in a kernel state they can't get out of, and so can't be killed.

FreeBSD-questions ist eine Mailing-liste (keine Newsgruppe) die sich ausschließlich mit der Beantwortung englischsprachiger Fragen in Bezug auf das Betriebssystem FreeBSD beschäftigt. Bitte belästigen Sie uns nicht wieder. (for the others: this rather confused message appears to be either trying to prevent or to promote child pornography.

The vx driver supposedly supports all 3c9xx, however from the mailing list archives a lot of people seem to (or had) problems with it. The CVS logs weren't too informative. My problem is, I have the kernel compiled for it, as well as pci0. However, it simply detects it via pci0 but does not detect the vx0 device. Here's what I get: pci0:9: vendor=0x10b7, device=0x9055, class=network (ethernet) int a irq 11 [no driver assigned] And then no mention of the vx0. Almost like the device isn't found in the kernel. I have the kernel compiled with the config file *in* it, and did a strings. Looks like the config file does have the vx defined. Other strings found in the kernel show the error messages of the vx device. I'm assuming this means the device driver code is in the kernel :-) I have another card on the ep0 device. I also made sure I configured it for 2 ethernet psuedo devices. I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5 (if the newer versions have this problem fixed please let me know). Finally, without sounding rude I'm not subscribed to freebsd-questions (just some other freebsd related mailing lists). So please do make a CC of your replies back to me.

Because I always have minicom running and when such incidents happen, minicom will says: killed by signal 1! on a popup text window. Which process and why it is doing that I don't know and that is exactly what is bugging me for a long time now.

Okay I got a pretty simple question. Well, actually I have two questions. Let me fill you in on my deal and then list the questions on order. I was thinking about getting a cable modem service from Media One here in the Los Angeles area. I don't know much about their reputation on the cable modem deal since it's a pretty new service, but I thought I'd give it a try. My questions are: 1) According to Media One, I must have a TCP/IP stack that supports DHCP addressing. Does FreeBSD support this, and would it be easy to set FreeBSD up with a cable modem? 2) What do you guys think about those cheap NE2000 compatible boards that you can get from the Computer Shows? They any good? I've looked at a few of those boards and I noticed that none of the boards I looked at had jumpers. I've never set up a network card before, so I dont know what would be up with the IRQ's and stuff. I'm just worried that I might get a PnP type NIC instead of a good ole' "set the jumpers" type NIC. Any ideas? Well, that that seemed like more than two questions, but I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!

You'll just have to wait. Name servers cache what they learn in the course of their queries, and answer requests out of cache when they can. They'll keep answering out of cache until the TTL, which you supply in your SOA or in particular RRs, expires, and then they'll requery authoritative servers for fresh information. Also, slave servers (as they're known in BIND 8.1.x -- the were formerly known as secondaries) will refresh their own information according to the refresh you supply in your SOA (BIND 8.1.x supports NOTIFY, so if both master and slave are running 8.1.x and are listed as name servers in the zone file, the change on the slave will be instant). Both the TTL and the refresh contribute to the delays you're seeing. At worst, a name server out there on the Internet should not have data older than the TTL added to the refresh time. In the future, if you're going to change an address or an MX record or whatever and you want the change to happen more quickly, you can start lowering the TTL as the time for the change approaches. When you're very close to the time to make the change, lower it to something like 60 seconds, or even 0 seconds. After you've made the address change, reload the secondaries (if you have access to them) and restore the TTL to a normal value. This will minimize or eliminate the time that stale data remains cached on name servers around the world. I hope this isn't more than you wanted to know!

Boot with a dos floppy, run their dos based config proggy, set up the IRQ/addresses (I lean towards irq10 address 0x300), save it, then boot to FreeBSD. Set the kernel up with the IRQs you set with the software, and you're done... (and stash the floppy in a safe place, as you'll need it again) If this sounds like a pain, I'd spend the extra $20 and get PCI, they're much easier.

I recently purchased an APC Back-UPS 500 and tracked down a hack'd cable callout that allegdly duplicates the APC part. I checked for loopback on the serial port I was planning to use, changed the upsd.conf to said serial port, attached my homemade cable adapter, and started up upsd. However, it reports "Cannot put the UPS into smart mode!". I suspect this means that I don't have valid communications between the ups and the serial port/daemon. Evidently, the man page and README have not been written yet (an entry in the TODO list!) So, I might have something configured incorrectly. I noticed that when I actually connect up my kludged cable to the UPS, the green "ON" light goes off. *something* is happening. *shrug* Anyone out there in FreeBSDLand know where I might find a page on APC smartport hacks so I can start picking through the upsd code?

So, why you use upsd, which is for Smart UPS's from APC ?? I use bkpupsd from the ports collection with my APC Back-UPS Pro 650 and it works great. > male DB9 (UPS) fem DB9 (UNIX) > 1 CD 7 RTS > 2 RD 1 CD > 9 RING 5 SGND > > This is apparently how the APC cable is wired, although the same author > says it would be better (due to the power-up initialization of the UART) > to use TX (computer pin 3) rather than RTS (pin 7).

Without disassembling it's very difficult to say how the real scheme looks out. If you want, I can send you my cable sheme.

Since this problem, I reinstalled the system. Well, I didn't reinstalled. I just upgraded with the same version of that one already installed. Everytime I try to install, FreeBSD 2.2.6 refuses me at the partition step as it sees more than 1 DOS partitions. > (1) C: wcd0s1 (Windows 95 bootable / WinNT bootable) > 2.2 GB > (2) wcd0s2 (FreeBSD native): in here, I have 800 MB > (3) D: wcd0s3 (Only data) > 1.2 GB But, the "Upgrade" option worked. It just recopied everything I had before --> waste of time.... :( Finally, I made it installed and rebooted. Oops, it doesn't accept me as a root. Did it really re-established the passwd file or not ? I don't know. One thing is clear that I cannot enter as a root. For this, I couldn't use "single user" or "default root" option, because each time I reboot one of those, the root_device becomes read only and I cannot modify my password. Oh, god... I again upgraded the system, without forget to change the root password in TTYV4 using passwd. Now, it works again, but, I really don't know what happened. As you say Doug, it can be a problem of X. but, how can we explain that the system worked before and got stuck without any modification ?

I'm actually working on the TCP observation. I saw the article http://www.psc.edu/networking/perf_tune.html Then, I tried to change the system variables of FreeBSD 2.2.6 to obtain a large TCP window size. (1) First question. I want to make the RFC1323 works on FreeBSD 2.2.6. Is there any special procedure I need to do ? (2) Second. Once the (1) question resolved, How can I make TCP's option "Window Scale" work on any connection such as FTP ? (3) Third TCPDUMP, as a real good utility to observe the traffic on TCP connection, I really want to use this. BUT, But, whenever I launch this "tcpdump [enter]", it tells me, tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: Device not configured. I tried to change chmod 666 /dev/bpf0, but no succeed. What is the problem here ?

You need to check the serial numbers in the zone files for the primary server for the domain you control. If you have root access to all the secondary servers, you can force an update by killing and restarting named on each secondary. Check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages on the primary and secondaries as well. If there is an error in your zone files, then DNS transfers can be aborted and the errors will be reported in the relevant log files. Hope that helps, Adam.

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, Ok, so I've been spoiled by FreeBSD's great port system... More and more lately I seem to come across ports that insist on having required package (ie. perl) living in the ports directory (ie. /usr/ports/lang/perl5/work/perl5.005_02/ ) rather than their real home (ie. /usr/local/bin/perl ). The result is that if I make clean one port that requires perl (and subsequently make clean perl), the next port that needs perl insists on trying to rebuild it. Ok, so this isn't a huge deal because it's fairly trivial to work around, but I don't recall this happening as frequently in the past. Any reason I'm seeing this more often? Recent examples are MySQL and P5-DBI.

No Advertising Other early policies included deciding on approaches to advertising and privacy. While you look around, you'll notice that we don't sell any advertising spaces on our website to other companies -- there's enough of that on the internet already. We sell internet service to you. We don't try to force-feed you advertising -- you didn't sign up for that. The Internet Explorer logo is an exception, as Microsoft requires it under a distribution agreement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Any links that we have to other sites are here because they are part of our community or because they provide something useful to the experience of our users, not because they are paying us to lure you to their site. Last thing, I got mail from about 4 other people at this list who were all very helpful polite and very willing to help.

We ran in to alot of problems, most was not finding a file during the install, one could not find anything. I imaged the same folder structure that was in the handbook on every box, we formated our PC's and did this two more times still with 0 results. Could you please let me know what the secret formula is to install FreeBSD. We are all pretty decent UNIX users and some Admins. We have heard good things about FreeBSD so we thought that we would give it a try and maybe replace our LinuX servers with it, if it is good as we have heard. Thank you. Response: You will be much better off leaving the files on the server, and doing the installation from there using ftp, if the server is capable of ftp. Installing from a local disc partition is not such a good idea, particularly if running under non standard OS's, which may not properly preserve file names and permissions, or mysteriously lose files. Some pointers: a "folder" is properly called a "directory" in Unix; the term folder has small employment referring to a "mail folder", which is a file containing 1 or more email messages. The canonical directory name separator is the /, not the \ which is used to escape the following character. Perhaps you have mis-specified some filenames? In your case I would start over, having made space on whatever harddisk where 'BSD is to be installed. Then boot the installation floppy, correctly partition the harddisk, and then disklabel the partition dedicated to FreeBSD. Use an ftp installation from the server, specifying it by IP number, not name. A nameserver is not needed at this point, and in a M$ environment may cause trouble. When asking questions, it is a very good idea to specify completely what you are doing. In this case: Machine name, CPU type, memory, attached peripherals, naming them /explicitly/. I.e Seagate ST32550 drive on Adapatec AIC-7880 controller as ID 2, not "some SCSI drive". Exactly which steps in the installation process have been completed, and the precise error messages encountered. For example: "After completing the X-Developer level installation and setting up the networking, I exited installation and rebooted. The kernel did the device probes, but then panicked, saying; "Panic -- cannot mount root device", not "It doesn't work". We're just wizards here, not mind readers. Unlike M$ "documentation", the stuff FreeBSD supplies is intended to be read.

Recent examples are MySQL and P5-DBI. You might want to make sure that your /usr/ports/lang/perl5 and your /usr/share/mk subdirectories are both up-to-date. The bsd.port.mk file has a perl version hardcoded in it, and if it doesn't find that exact version of perl, it goes and builds the port. I can imagine that if the two versions are different, then bsd.port.mk would insist on reinstalling perl every time. I wonder if bsd.port.mk could somehow query ${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5/Makefile for the correct version. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 18 07:44:40 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA27614 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 18 Aug 1998 07:44:40 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gold.sdln.net (gold.sdln.net [204.52.252.74]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id HAA27607 for ; Tue, 18 Aug 1998 07:44:38 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dmartin@sdln.net) Received: from david (david.sdln.net [204.52.252.111]) by gold.sdln.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id IAA12715 for ; Tue, 18 Aug 1998 08:44:01 -0600 (MDT) (envelope-from dmartin@sdln.net) From: "David Martin" To: Subject: 2.2.7 errors Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 08:41:36 -0600 Message-ID: <003f01bdcab6$4cfbf040$6ffc34cc@sdln.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.0518.4 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, It seems that every file that root touches on my freebsd 2.2.7 machine inherit a line full of U's. This is very frustrating, especially when trying to install programs such as perl or apache because it sticks the U's in front of the #!/bin/sh. The problem also appears in ordinary files. For instance, after adding myself to the wheel group in /etc/group it decided to put the U's in front of wheel. This of course screwed everything up and doing a ls -al of / showed that the files belonged to root UUUUUUUwheel. This is easy to fix, as long as it's a normal file, just pico and remove the U's. However when doing the perl install it put's the U's in front of #!/bin/sh and then the install program can't find the shell so it aborts. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I've installed freebsd 2.2.7 on several machines and have this problem on each. I'm going to go to 3.0 just to see if the problem goes away. I do know that it didn't happen under 2.2.6. By the way, each machine has a basic freebsd install without x. The only addon programs are pine and tcp_wrappers. I didn't really know what to search for under freebsd's search engine, so if somebody's already answered a question similar to this please point me to the answer. thanks for your help.

I'm running 2.2.7-RELEASE, and I've already changed my kernel a bit to allow me to do a whole bunch of simultaneous connections, but I've probably done something wrong, because it ain't working. Here's what I have: P5-166 Gateway 32 MB RAM 2 GB disk, 850MB belongs to FreeBSD, of which 100MB is swap. PCI DEC Ethernet card Here's how I've mangled my poor kernel: maxusers 128 options CHILD_MAX=256 options OPEN_MAX=2048 options NMBCLUSTERS=4096 Here's how I've changed login.conf default and root both have unlimited child process and open file counts. I've done a little poking around in param.c and don't see immediately that I've violated any rules by setting these limits the way I have. When I type limits, I get the following info back: maxprocesses 2067 openfiles 4136 But I can't find anything anywhere that talks about tuning the kernel for doing this. What I need to do is be able to run lots of TCP connections, and I know it can be done with FreeBSD. The connections are being made from FreeBSD to a proprietary board and then to a Solaris machine. My end goal is to be able to bring up about 1024 TCP connections outbound and route them back to the same box, for a total of 2048 connections. Right now, I run 1024 connections to the other system, and what happens is when the sockets are all connected, and the writes start to occur, FreeBSD just reboots the machine -- no messages anywhere. Have I really goofed up somewhere/something? Can anyone give me some insight as to what MIGHT be happening here? E-mail is fine, so's the newgroup. I suppose it's completely possible I'm running out of RAM and swap, but I'd expect to see something in /var/log/messages to that effect. So far, nothing. Recently I uppped NMBCLUSTERS to 4096, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. That was based on some notes in the FAQ.

Regarding the FreeBSD filesystem, what is the equivalent of a "cluster" in the DOS world? That is, if I have tiny files, how much disk space do they actually occupy? My experiments suggest 1k, but I'm confused by references to 512-byte blocks in various places. Is this "cluster" size independent of disk or partition size? I have a situation that involves storing the better part of a million small (700 bytes to 1.9 kbytes) files (don't ask!). From a filesystem efficiency point of view, what is a practical maximum number of files per directory? How many directories can you have under one directory? Where is this kind of thing documented? I have scanned "The Complete FreeBSD" book, and have searched the online docs without success. -- Graeme Tait - Echidna To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 18 08:23:20 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA04175 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 18 Aug 1998 08:23:20 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from netra.graphnet.com (netra.graphnet.com [192.206.112.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA04161 for ; Tue, 18 Aug 1998 08:23:10 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from romank@graphnet.com) Received: from graphnet.com (roman.graphnet.com [192.206.112.93]) by netra.graphnet.com (8.8.8/8.8.6) with ESMTP id LAA18160 for ; Tue, 18 Aug 1998 11:22:34 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <35D99DF9.8CED0B53@graphnet.com> Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 11:30:01 -0400 From: Roman Katsnelson Organization: Graphnet, Inc X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (WinNT; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "q's" Subject: 2.2.7 vs 3.0 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 am about to build a new web server.

The system isn't really _loaded_, but nonetheless busy all the time. It runs lots of small different small services and is quite essential for our business. The 1st harddisk (sd0) is a wide device, connected to the 2940 (narrow) with one of those small adapters. The 2 buses (2 2940, see above) _are_ properly terminated and the cables are of the finest quality. Really ;-) I suspect it's a hardware issue, but I'd like confirmation or even a "proof" before throwing money at the problem.

This subject has been discussed in the past... The reason that Linux gives no exceptions is that the floating point exceptions are *masked* by default. The default for FreeBSD, on the other hand, is that floating point exceptions are *unmasked*. Therefore, what you are seeing is that the software you run under Linux does a poor job of dealing with numerical precision -- the programs simply ignores any errors. In some cases this is OK -- Intel's NPX applies reasonable defaults for floating point exceptions. > It is a pity but sticking to Linux seems to be the only way > for me to get reliable numerical results. To get the same results with FreeBSD, you need to modify the programs to set the exception mask yourself. Try the following program: ----- #include #include #include main( int argc, char **argv ) { double a, b; /* * Mask all exceptions if argc > 1 */ if ( argc > 1 ) fpsetmask( ~ (FP_X_INV | FP_X_DNML | FP_X_DZ | FP_X_OFL | FP_X_UFL | FP_X_IMP) ); a = 1.0; b = cos(0.0) - 1.0; a /= b; /* * This used to be necessary to avoid a kernel message ``pid %d (%s) * exited with masked floating point exceptions 0x%02x''. The kernel * now wraps this message with ``#ifdef NPX_DEBUG'' */ fpresetsticky( FP_X_INV | FP_X_DNML | FP_X_DZ | FP_X_OFL | FP_X_UFL | FP_X_IMP ); } ----- bash$ cc fpx.c -lm bash$ ./a.out Floating point exception (core dumped) bash$ ./a.out no bash$ Dave Bodenstab imdave@mcs.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 18 09:13:13 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA10306 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 18 Aug 1998 09:13:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from feoh.nmarcom.com (feoh.nmarcom.com [209.146.217.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA09624 for ; Tue, 18 Aug 1998 09:07:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from thelab@nmarcom.com) Received: from localhost (thelab@localhost) by feoh.nmarcom.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA12122; Tue, 18 Aug 1998 12:04:39 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 12:04:39 -0400 (EDT) From: The Lab To: David Martin cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 2.2.7 errors In-Reply-To: <003f01bdcab6$4cfbf040$6ffc34cc@sdln.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 This happened to me when i upgraded to pine4, considering that my editor is pico from that package.

It appears to the casual visitor to be an email link to an official help desk, and it takes occasionally several emails to clear up this impression, and point out the truth that the user has wandered into an quasi-anarchic commune. It might eliminate some problems if the link led to another page which said: "Fill out this form to post your question to the world-wide mass circulation 'freebsd-questions' mailing list.

As instructed in the book, we have to partition it into 2 boot partitions, one for win and one for FreeBSD. I am wonder if the upcoming FreeBSD 3.0 still has that problem. Frankly, it is quite not friendly. Even if I put 400 MB partition for Windows, where c:\windows will be installed, it is too tight for it. I am having problem with that. When I install some program, which will create a TEMP directory in either c:\windows or c:\, it is often enough to see "insufficient disk space". That is why I am wondering if that problem is resolved. By the way, if you don't mind, why doesn't linux have that problem?

Is this "cluster" size > independent of disk or partition size? There are three sizes involved here: 1) the device block size, which I believe is set to 512 bytes for historical reasons; 2) the filesystem block size, which is usually 8K; 3) and the filesystem fragment size, usually 1/8th the filesystem block size thus 1K. Fragments are used to store small files or pieces of files within whole blocks. Whole blocks reduce overhead for large files thus giving better throughput while fragments use up "slack" space. > I have a situation that involves storing the better part of a million > small (700 bytes to 1.9 kbytes) files (don't ask!). From a filesystem > efficiency point of view, what is a practical maximum number of files per > directory? How many directories can you have under one directory? The filesystem should remain efficient. However, applications which read the directory may be overwhelmed. For example, ls sorts the names of the files in a directory before outputing them. Running ls on a directory with many thousands of files in it could take a while. > Where is this kind of thing documented? I have scanned "The Complete > FreeBSD" book, and have searched the online docs without success. Try reading "A Fast File System for Unix" by McKusick et al. This explains all the gory details you might want to know and also gives a good discussion about how block size affects performance / space available for data.

I am running the XFree86 version that comes in the FreeBSD 2.2.6 release. I compiled the kernel with options DDB, BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER, UCONSOLE, and GDB_REMOTE_CHAT. My .xinitrc file runs xterm with the -C flag (so that the initial xterm would grab the system console). I am adding some modifications to the kernel and would like to be able to: - set a breakpoint in DDB; continue; - start X; - run an application (Netscape) that causes the kernel breakpoint to be reached; AND - drop into DDB so that I can examine register, processes, etc. Unfortunately, when the breakpoint is reached, the system simply hangs instead of dropping into DDB. I also would like to be able to drop into DDB by pressing Ctrl-Alt-ESC when the X server is running. Unfortunately, this key combination is ignored by the system unless the screen is in console mode. Is there any way to use DDB when the X server is running?

My computer is a IBM ThinkPad 560, and my PCCARD modem is a ELSA MicroLink 33.6MC which is Class-2.0-capable. I set ServerTracing to 0x3ffff and also SessionTracing, in order to obtain maximum information. But in HylaFAX' log-dir no session trace shows up. The modem itselfs works fine with cu and slip. (You received this email message, though.) I looked into the source code, especially into faxd, but I do not understand which specific condition causes the modem to appear "wedged". HylaFAX' FAQ does not mention this problem. So my question is: What is going wrong here? Maybe there is a point which I am totally missing. I would very much appreciate if some kind soul could put me on the right track. I do not have the slightest idea what I could check further. Please let me know if I shall provide any additional information.

I would load off of the boot disk, and go through the kernel configuration and disable devices that I don't have, and then after I save and quit I just get a solid cursor in the upper left hand corner of the screen. If, however, I disable the PS/2 mouse I am able to get the install to proceed. Does anyone have any idea why the PS/2 mouse causes things not to work? Is there a way to use the PS/2 mouse with the system that won't cause a conflict?

These problems include - port gets confused when cable unplugging the cable for a moment (no buffer space available). ifconfig down and up fixes this, but it is annoying. - autodetect seems to easily drop to bnc, but will never come back to TP, until manually fixed or forced in configuration. - 100 Mbps no-name MM-fiber cards which worked before stopped working. - 100 Mbps seems to produce various reliability problems, causing instant panic on boot until the host is switched to 10 Mbps port. I cannot figure out when this happens. This is strange as it may happen to a host which has been fine for months, and then it just refuses to work with 100 Mbps port any more.

I think you'll have a hard time finding jumpered network cards anymore. I use Kingstons in everything I build and use, with no problems so far. Plus, they work pretty darn well under other operating systems too. Heck, I don't even have to set them up with a boot disk or anything, plug in and start installing FreeBSD.

Your system does not seem to hangup. So, this is rather good. But this makes problem difficult to solve. When the sector on wd0 is broken, the last two error messages will appear in /var/log/messages. So, If you can check the secter is really broken or not, it will help solve this problem, for example, check the disk by windows scandisk or norton utilities, or write to all of vacant disk area and read all file. They say that the recent eide disks are implemented the automatic remapping function, in this case, so even if the sectors are actually broken, they are substituted, no bad secters may be found. If you cannot access that disk after the error message, probably, wd driver does no work well. So, check /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/wd.c, and find out the lines such as du->dk_timeout = 1 + 3; and increase the value. There are several views that the failure of disk is cause by the heat or the unstable power supply.

The bootable partition for FreeBSD (or any other OS, barring special boot loaders) must lie within the first 1024 cylinders, after logical block translation.

It is quite possible to use the other partitions (and extended partitions) for more space in Windoze, if that's the problem. Dave -- Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis.

Actually a 386 with 8 megs is quite a useable configuration for many things. You might want to get more RAM, but it depends what you want to do. 300 megs is plenty of disk space for the base system with X, some apps, and the compiler and tools. Such a machine would be a good internal web server for a small network or a great PPP router/firewall for home. I ran linux on a similar machine for a long time, and was very happy with it--I was running X, too. FreeBSD will be as good or better. So toss a network card in the 386 and go. You probably don't even need a monitor. Use the monitor from your other machine to configure and install the 386, then toss the machine in the closet and forget about it. Alternatively, do it the other way around: make your 386 an Xterm, and toss your big pentium box in the closet. :) > >Any suggestions or comments is welcome! > >Spidey > >How 'bout a little ride through your own world? >http://www.JSP.UMontreal.CA/~beaupran/ > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > - -- -- --- --- --- ---- ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ------| -------------- Jeffrey Dunitz (orpheus@cray.com) 612-683-7266 | it's hard times Information Services | befallen the ===== Cray Research, now Silicon Graphics = == === === =====| sole survivors.

I have experience that the sectors on eide drive are broken, and access to the bad sectors causes error. But at that time, the system display error messages like "XXXX i/o error", and that process dies but the system recover. (At first, system halted like your system, and I fixed that defects.) So your driver code does not work well, probably timeout routine. For example, ahc_timeout,,,,. But I did't read your driver code, so I cannot say any further. Sorry, I should not write here. Would debug option of driver code help you ? > > The console is filled with error messages like this: > > SEQADDR=0x6 SCSISEQ=0x12 SSTAT0=0x5 SSTAT1=0xa > sd0(ahc0:0:0) SCB 7: Flags=0x1 > sd0(ahc0:0:0) no longer in timeout > ahc0: Issue Channel A Bus Reset > 2 SCBs aborted > swap-pager: indefinite wait_buffer: device: 1025 blkno(xxx) size=xxx > These change ----^---------^ This statement is displayed by /usr/src/sys/vm/swap_pager.c .

When kernel hangs up, invoke ddb by typing Cntrl-Alt-Esc from system console. Don't use X, at this time. X ignores Cntrl-Alt-Esc. And make timeout forcibly, and when disk seek ended, type 'continue'. If several trial failed, then type 'panic', this will reboot system safely. And fsck. At least, this prescription worked when eide wd driver was bad.

This one has me doing the headless chicken dance. I have got X to work on my laptop OK, the final problem is getting it to use the entire screen. The screen is an 11" TFT screen on a Toshiba Satellite 110CT laptop. The video card is a chips & technologies CT65548 (1 MB). I am using the SVGA server with Xfree 3.3.2.2 on FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE The problem is that though it loads into 800x600@8bpp there is a 1 inch gap around the entire screen. I have played with the option settings below with the help from the c&t section of the xfree86 website. The lcd-center option is required otherwise the display is shifted to the left corner. I calculate that I would have to have more than 1MB video ram to run at better than 800x600@8bpp - am I correct? I hope the stuff below gives you enough information. I have exhausted my expertise in this area. The first bit is the relevant section from XF86Config, the second bit is standard error when startx is invoked. Any thoughts on this, or a XF86Config known to work with this chipset, are appreciated.

The `wedged' status is when HylaFAX thinks that the modem is not responding. If possible run faxgetty on the line, with appropriate debug levels set, as the chatter between it and your modem will always give you an indication of how healthy the HylaFAX config is.

While you can have as many files and directories in a directory as you want (provided you have enough space and inodes(*) on the partition), having too many entries in a directory slows down all directory operations. This does not only affect programs that sort the entries, but also the kernel. Every time a file in the directory is accessed, the file system has to make a linear search through the directory to find the file's entry, and every time a file is created, the directory is searched for a free entry (or is extended after none has been found). While the directory itself will be held in the buffer cache to avoid frequent disk access, the search through the directory structure itself is expensive if you have a million entries. Look at what apache does in the proxy cache: in the cache directory it creates a lot of subdirectories, each with a name one character long, and in each of these again subdirectories of the same kind. This hierarchy is by default three levels deep. For file and directory names apache uses the 64 characters [a-ZA-Z0-9@_]. If you have three levels of directories, you have 64**3 = 2**18 directories at level 3, and if you put up to 64 files into these directories, you have 2**24 == 16 Million files. To access one of these files, you need to search four directories each 64 entries long (in the worst case), which is a search over 256 entries -- significantly less than a search through a directory of a million entries. You have to open three more directories for the search, but that will easily pay off. (*) The number of inodes (which hold the information about a file; a directory entry is a reference to the inode) is definitely an issue if we talk about a million files. Today I made a file system of 8.5 GB on a new disk (under Solaris, though), and newfs created 1048060 inodes -- barely enough for your case. You can change that number with an option to newfs (look for "number of bytes per inode" in newfs(8)) to have enough inodes for you files and directories.

Yeah, it's a: vx0 <3COM 3C595 Fast Etherlink III PCI> rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:10:0 My net works, so by "confusing the driver," do you mean poorer performance? I don't want to disable auto select because then I'll have trouble (I think) when I move my machine between 10 and 100 Mbs hubs.

It's not necessary to capitalize every word. The space indicates the boundary between words. :-) To answer the question: 1. Only the IDE and SCSI Zip has the possiblity of doing this. 2. Not all SCSI controllers support booting removables. 3. Not all BIOSes support booting IDE removables, if they support them at all.

I personally use my old 386 for compiling small java apps that I'm not in a hurry for. That way I can send some small peices that I know are finished through the 386 while I am still working on my Pentuim. I cheat though. I have an old monochrome monitor on it.

You are actually running at 640x480, which is why you see the 1" border. The LCD can't do any better than 800x600.

You didn't give the Monitor section, so I can't tell for sure. My 410CDT has the following Monitor section: Section "Monitor" HorizSync 31.5-48.5 VertRefresh 55-90 EndSection I am _NOT_ sure that this is the correct setting. YMMV. Not responsible for burned LCD screens. However, it does permit me to run 800x600 on my laptop.

There are several pop servers available in the ports tree. The Washington pop server (in the imap package) is good, and our sysadmins are raving about cucipop. qpopper is pretty much dead as a result of the major security bugs found recently and it's bloated stature.

Nope. `find / -name handbook` gives me: /usr/share/doc/handbook /usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/share/doc/handbook /usr/ports/japanese/handbook Hmmm... where could it possibly be?

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 Hey guys. I was wondering if there was any editor or viewer in FreeBSD to view WordPerfect format documents. I see a lot of editors in the ports collection, but I don't want to install a lot of ports if none of them will work. Likewise, I see that there is a program that converts msword format documents into text format. Anything similar for the worderfect format? Thanks for any assistance.

Double check that all the files exist and there is sufficient space dedicated to the root partition. Also check the ALT-F2 debug console for messages.

The problem may be that ppp12345.aolsucks.com isn't a real address, or your DNS isn't configured correctly. FreeBSD does everything in it's power to keep you from wasting network bandwidth doing local connections. It installs a route that will redirect connections to your local IP to the loopback IP instead, so telnetting to yourself is identical to doing 'telnet localhost'.

That's what questions is _supposed_ to be, a helpdesk. (of sorts > :) ) The confusion lies in that most newbies assume that any reply from freebsd-questions is from the FreeBSD organisation (whatever *that* means), and that their answer is the canonical truth (as opposed to some of the my-best-guess answers that sometimes come up here). Worse yet, if you get a terse rude reply it'd sure turn people away if they believed that the FreeBSD `official' helpdesk were made up weirdos instead of volunteers. Having the additional text in the web-page would go a *long* way towards clearing up that.

Sure. There's a gettytab capability 'pp' that will start the indicated program if getty receives PPP frames. Sounds good. Would you happen to know if NT authentication can be used?

This doesn't make much sense to me, but since it's only borderline -questions material (IIRC it was an old 3.0-snap, which would belong in -current if anybody cared about old versions), I'd suggest one of: 1. make -k world. You'll end up without one part of the PSD, which hasn't changed in years. 2. Get a new snap. Personally, I'd opt for (1).

I just have installed freeBSD for the first time. I have been in Linux for several time, so i am not completely blind about un*x variant OSes. Second, The problem is : 1) Is it true that there is indicator meter that shows you how much in size for packages you have selected before installing them ? To prevent the possibility selecting packages with size > total space available ? 2) I see that many of basic / most needed utils like X window and WM is not dependable, and we have to config everything manually. Is this true ? Under linux distribution though they are not doing 100 % for us, but they simplify things by using default script 3) I don't want to install all sources, but kernel only. How much space i need for installing kernel sources and under which package name ? I need to build my own kernel. 4) When I want to mount_ext2fs, it said ext2 filesystem not available. What does it mean ? Third, I am using K6/200, 32 Megs and 2.2.6 FreeBSD 4 CDset Please forgive me if what i ask already on the FAQ and HandBook.. I read most of them, but I might miss them.

We have a small LAN with 5 machines and a FreeBSD gateway to our ISP. We would like to divide Internet access costs up based on the machine - ie each department pays for their use of the Internet. Mail is not really a problem just web. We have a static IP with our ISP and all of our machines have public IP numbers. Can I use the logging facilities of the firewall to do this.

Assuming you are talking about allowing root to log in directly via telnet, you probably don't really want to do this. The usual way of accomplishing this is to have normal users who are trusted with access to the root account. These users log in as themselves and then use the "su" command to become root. To tell the system that a user should be allowed to su to root, add their username to the "wheel" group in /etc/group.

You should use the 'vipw' command to edit the passwd file -- it does the appropriate file locking and makes sure that *all* the password db files get updated properly. Just editing /etc/passwd won't get you very far. If you just want to change your own entry in the passwd file you can also use the 'chpass' command. Also, doesn't bash live in /usr/local/bin/bash?

You still need to be able to read the boot partition, and the BIOS decides that. More modern BIOSes don't have the 504 MB limit any more (they've introduced the 1 GB limit, the 2 GB limit and the 4 GB limit :-) One of these days I'll try to write this up.

The machine I am installing to does not have a CDROM or internet connection, so I am installing via FTP over a LAN from a win95 machine running the WAR FTP daemon - fetching the files from a local CDROM drive. Basically, when it starts to install XF86, the installation stops. I get a message similar to 'FTP shutdown called'. After turning on the DEBUG option, it became clearer: The installation program seems to be trying to fetch 'XF86322/X322fnts.inf'. The FTP server replies with 'Permission denied', because the file does not exist on the CD (or on ftp.freebsd.org). I am not using the CD from walnut creek, but have recently downloaded the 2. 2.7-RELEASE tree from ftp.freebsd.org (using the on-the-fly tar feature of the ftp site), and then burnt this onto a CD myself. Is this a known problem with the 2.2.7 installation procedure? I can work around this by installing X manually after a normal install has completed, but I would like to know if others have had this problem too.

CVSup will fetch the latest documentation sources into /usr/doc directory. Then you should build and install documentation. You'll need some ports installed to make the docs.

Just be aware that for using SSLeay in the US, you need a BSafe license from RSA (and I believe you are required to substitute their cipher code for that in SSLeay). There is a special license plan for non-profits. For individual commercial use, getting an RSA license is a practical impossibility as I understand it. -- Graeme Tait - Echidna To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 19 05:18:23 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id FAA01388 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 05:18:23 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from bsd01.community.net.uk (bsd01.community.net.uk [195.72.164.132]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id FAA01381 for ; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 05:18:20 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from wgp@community.co.uk) Received: from community.co.uk (pc05.office.community.net.uk [194.176.76.229]) by bsd01.community.net.uk (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA20537 for ; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 13:17:41 +0100 (BST) Message-ID: <35DAC2B0.4B8C8A5C@community.co.uk> Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 13:18:56 +0100 From: William Payne Organization: CommUnity Internet plc X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Problems.

It'll be slow but it works. I'd be ready to start pruning off > files though if you want to do any real work. Real work is relative, to some extent. If one is singleusering the box, a small box at home is still fine. In the office, it is pushing the low end. I still do a lot of home singleuser play on a 386 box. Figure that 8 megs ram is the practical minimum anymore, although I do have a tiny decstation with 4 megs ram that runs fine as a command-line-driven box or ftp archive box. So what if it is a tad slow on the home network? There, slow is relative, and mostly unimportant. For HD space, figure 300M is the minimum to leave you play space, sans X11. If you want to do compiles and the like, 300mb is about the practical working minimum. For a writing box, 300M is fine. For a websurfer, 300M is fine. For source building and play, it is minimal, and about 500-600M leaves you some workspace to play. Beyond that is gravy. The practical minimal install is bin and manpages, plus maybe doc. You can fit that comfily in 300M, with playspace to spare. As to ram, the install won't anymore in 4 megs, but will in 8, including X11. Beyond that is gravy. A 387 coprocessor is nice if you can find one in the bilges of a computer junk shop. If not, it is not mandatory. I run several of these tiny boxes on the home net, with 3.0 snaps, and they do well. It gives you a chance to crash the box and not have to worry about it..... These things are cheap and almost dumpster fodder anymore. Find a couple and network them together and play..... Good Luck....

No. IF I am reading you correctly, you want to set up some sort of FBSD archive site for local installs. That is a good way to do things, and makes for fast installs, once loaded up the first time on the local ftp server. If you want to set up an ftp archive site for installing FBSD, you might want to do it something like this.... 1. When installing the machine originaly, DO NOT put ftp in /var. Make him located in /home or /usr/home as others, so that he has plenty of room to play in, OR, make /var plenty big to handle the RELEASE space needed (150 megs minimally, for the basic suite less all the tons of packages and ports distfiles). There may be pro and con for keeping ftp in var, but I have always set him up elsewhere, since I usually drop a lot of junk there for remote use. 2. Set up the X.X.X-RELEASE tree in /home/ftp/pub just like it is on freebsd.org (/home/ftp or /usr/home/ftp, or use a separate fs if that is workable). /home/ftp/pub/2.2.7-RELEASE/cdrom.inf /xxxx.TXT (the install guides, etc) /floppies /bin /manpages (etc to suit) 3. Then when installing on other machines, point them to your local ftp archive box to do the install. It works great, and I do that all the time on my home and office networks. An install on another box takes around 15-30 minutes that way. IF you are actually wanting to mirror the actual source tree, tar it up and put in in the ftp rather than link it so you keep a pristine protected source tree in /usr, IMHO. The space considerations in the ftp login still apply... have plenty of space available.

I run fdisk and here is the output: phome# fdisk ******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=782 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=782 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB)) start 63, size 2048193 (1000 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 253/ sector 63/ head 127 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 5,(Extended DOS) start 2048256, size 4249728 (2075 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 254/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 780/ sector 63/ head 127 The data for partition 3 is: The data for partition 4 is: phome# You see the "flag 0" ??? Ok, now I run fdisk -a wd0 and set the parftition Number 1 as active (writing the result!! not -t option etc.). Now reboot. Successfull!! I am in FBSD. Fdisk again -->>> flag is zero again! fdisk -a wd0 again. Reboot Success.. .. etc.. In a word, If I do not set the partition [active] with FreeBSD [or DOS] fdisk -a wd0, computer says at a booting process: NOT FOUND ANY ACTIVE PARTITION!! Nothing to do with FBSD but after DOS-fdisk-set-active-partition I boot Win95 as many times as I wish and there is no need to "fdisk" again. As far I boot in FBSD, the partition flag is set to 0.

John, if your X-installation went without any errors and problems, we should be able to get it going: /usr/include/errno.h: #define ECONNREFUSED 61 /* Connection refused */ So, is there a X-server running and what are the permissions on that server ? neuron:~$ ls -al /usr/X11/bin/XF86_Mach64 -rws--x--x 1 root wheel 1748992 20 Jul 22:32 /usr/X11/bin/XF86_Mach64* neuron:~$ What are the permissions on your server ?

I've edited at least two instances of .profile. On page 152 and 144 of the "making friends with bsd" chapter of the book I bought, one of the contributors offers a template for the PS1 variable. My changes were made using that as a model. The results for root were nil. The results for the first id I added were visible, but not what I desired. The placement of the quotation marks seems to me to be crucial. Can you tell me what other factors I might have to consider before seeing a change in the prompt to display what should come out of using the string \u @ \h \w ?

(was: trouble with sio on Thinkpad 770) 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 Hi again, It looks as though there may be a problem with the way FreeBSD determines the amount of available memory at boot-up time (at least on my ThinkPad 770) --or-- that the latest 770 BIOS is not reporting the correct value. I'm hoping someone might be able to help me narrow down the problem so that we can either fix FreeBSD or give IBM useful details about their BIOS problem. Here's the background which leads me to this conclusion: I started the day with a ThinkPad 770 (96MB RAM) running 2.2.6-RELEASE and PAO. Everything worked perfectly except that the kernel did not find any sio devices at boot time. I wanted to get the serial port working. The serial patch suggested below did not help. Upgrading to 2.2.7 did help some except that the kernel reported that it found an 8250 instead of a 16550A for sio0. At this point I suspected a possible BIOS problem and I had heard that there had been several updates to the 770 BIOS recently. I had been meaning to do this at some point anyhow so I decided this would be a good time to do it (on the principle that if ain't broke don't fix it and if it is broke then do). The BIOS update went smoothly and I could still boot into Win95 just fine. However, when I tried to boot into 2.2.7 the system hung during boot sometime after probing for the IDE devices (the kernel did correctly recognize sio0 as a 16550A, so at least I accomplished that part of my goal). After getting over my initial shock and horror I began the calm, cool work of investigating the problem. Sparing you the pain of a blow-by-blow account of everything I tried I should say that I determined I could boot my system with older versions of 2.2.X and 3.0. I had lent my old copy of 2.2.5-RELEASE to a friend but I did have a boot and fixit floppy lying around for 2.2-960801-SNAP and a bootable CDROM of 3.0-970807-SNAP. Both of these would boot my system but 2.2.6-RELEASE, 2.2.7-RELEASE, 3.0-19980804-SNAP would all hang during boot. Even the visual config menu did not save me from a hang. So I installed 3.0-970807-SNAP. I could now boot my system. I then configured a custom kernel with this system and after more investigative work found that if I set MAXMEM = (96*1024) in the kernel config file (recall that these older systems still required the MAXMEM parameter for >64MB to be recognized) then my system would hang on boot, but if I set MAXMEM = (95*1024) everything works perfectly, even the serial port. :-) I guess that more recent kernels can somehow get the correct available memory value on their own by some means (perhaps from the BIOS) and that this algorithm works for some BIOSes but not others and could be fixed to work with the new BIOS I installed on my 770, or perhaps the 770 BIOS is not reporting the correct value when probed by FreeBSD. So, the question is: what's going here and what should I do to help narrow it down further so that the appropriate action can be taken. Thanks much!

That is about as inappropriate a response as I've seen on a public support list, ever. Whining about perceived lack of features or bugs is actually an appropriate, if occasionally annoying, activity on the part of people who encounter things they don't expect on a system. Saying that they look like a little pussy is completely out-to-lunch, and does a disservice to the list, and to the perception of FreeBSD. FreeBSD is, IMHO, a stronger, more consistent implementation of Unix than Linux is. It needs every positive perception it can get. Answering misstatements about FreeBSD with insults can only drive people away. ("Yeah, FreeBSD seems cool, but don't bother trying to get support from the mailing list---those guys are jerks!") (I can think of a particular database development group that could have learned this lesson a while back. I stated a view which got me savaged in private by one of the developers a while back, and now I'm looking into commercial solutions just so I don't have to put up with that crap. And keep in mind, I was a big fan of it at the beginning. No more.) In any case, you might want to reconsider your response the next time you send in a helpful answer.

[quippy historical diatribe deleted] (but wait till you see me ramble on...) Ah, the old teletype terminals... I used to collect early glass TTYs...viewpoints, VT100s, Hazeltines... Anyway, a small explanation of serial consoles: For the purposes of this discussion, a server is defined as "not a workstation but a machine that either serves files, provides services such as web or ftp, or that people log into remotely". Since no one is actually going to be sitting at the machine, it's a waste to have a nice graphics system on the box. And historically, most unix machines didn't even _have_ graphics until the mid-80's, when X started to become popular. So a lot of machines, before and now, use a serial terminal as a console. You've probably used a program like kermit, or Zterm or HyperTerminal to connect with a modem to some kind of dialup service. Those programs emulate an acutal serial terminal. Next time you go to Home Depot, Target or probably your local doctor's office, notice what they're typing orders and records into--just a little monitor-like thing with a keyboard plugged right into it, and no computer in sight. that's a serial terminal. It's got enough smarts to talk to a modem or a direct serial connection, and that's about it. It's not an actual computer. It doesn't have a disk drive, card slots, or anything like that. Just a serial port, a couple chips and a couple hundred kilobytes of memory. They usually sell for about $400 new, of $150-200 used. Because of that, a lot of people use old 8088 or 286 PCs as terminals, and just run kermit or procomm on them. Before I forget, here's a major point: the only time you actually need to do anything on your server machine that actually involves being physically at the console is to boot the machine (and most machines autoboot with no problem, you just turn them on and they go) or if there's a problem when the system is coming up, or the network gets hosed. Since you're only going to use the console rarely, having an expensive monitor and keyboard is silly. Using a serial terminal as a console is a better idea. But wait, there's more... Using a serial console, you can also be at the console of the machine from anywhere in the world! Here's how: You can connect the console (serial) port of your server machine to either a terminal server or another machine with extra serial ports, and run kermit or a similar program on the other machine. For example, you can telnet to your "terminal server", fire up kermit, and you're connected to the console of your server. Another application for term servers is as modem pools. Basically a term server is a little pizza box with some serial ports and an ethernet port, and you can get from a serial port to the network or vice-versa. They're useful boxes. Where I work, we have some large Sun servers, whose console ports are connected to a terminal server. When a machine goes down, the admins telnet to the terminal server, and specify the port they want to connect to (it's actually more complex than that, but for the purpose of explanation...), and fix the machine. So the terminal server is like this: (serial line) termserver-port-1 <--------------------> sunserver1-console-port termserver-port-2 <--------------------> sunserver2-console-port termserver-port-3 <--------------------> sunserver3-console-port termserver-port-4 <--------------------> sunserver4-console-port termserver-port-5 <--------------------> sunserver5-console-port This enables the admins to not have to get up and run all the way down to the machine room everytime something goes wrong with one of the Suns. Serial console is a foreign concept to most PC people, I've noticed. What sucks about PCs is that you can't get to the BIOS from the serial port. On a Sun, SGI, HP, whatever, if it notices that there isn't a graphics card in the machine, or the keyboard isn't connected, all the boot messages and "BIOS" setup stuff goes to the serial port. In case you've never seen a non-PC unix machine's setup stuff, it's not a "fake GUI" thing like a PC, with lots of colors and pull down text menus and stuff. It's usually something like a >> prompt where you type things like > setprom netaddr 192.169.234.34 > setprom diskless false > setprom bootimg dksc0s1p0(vmunix) So now in contrast to all that, I'd like to say that you don't even really _need_ to set up serial console for a machine that you're going to play with at home and don't want a monitor for. I have three machines in my closet at home with no monitors or keyboards, and they don't have serial consoles set up either. If one of them screws up, I take a spare monitor over to the closet, plug it in, and fix the machine. This typically happens less than once per 100 days per machine, so it's not a big deal. If I were running a full-production network with lots of users, and large amounts of money would be lost if a machine were unavailable, I would not want to have machines with no consoles. It all has to do with what your needs and priorities are. Sorry that was kind of long-winded. Serial communications is one of my favorite topics. :) > > >Surely we be kidding round the ol' java pot.....(:+}}.....?

You can't get away with just saying 'Linux' anymore! XFree86 is a sticky case since PC hardware varies so widely. Window managers generally _do_ give you a decent stock configuration file, although it may be in /root/ or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/. Most other system software does have a sample script you can work from -- look for [configfile].sample in the same directory as the program's standard config file.

I don't think the SDL drivers we have in the kernel support it, but do ask SDL if they have a driver; I believe they develop FreeBSD drivers for their hardware.

There were a few errors that I found after reading the examples that Kim Neilsen sent me. Now, I have a different problem. I have added gated from the 2.2.5 CD using the /stand/sysinstall menu. It works as long as I use my Windoze 95 computer to donnect from network to network. However, if I use any of the FreeBSD 2.2.5 computers to donnect across a network, nothing happens. I can ping only certain computers yet I can telnet to none of them. If I use traceroute to see what happens, it gets only as far as the gateway computer before returning no info. This happens even on the computers that I can ping. It makes no difference if I run gated from a command line or from /etc/rc.conf. I am trying to get from a 135.5.120.XXX class C network to a 223.147.37.xxx class C network. Below is a copt of the /etc/gated.conf file. Thanks for your wonderful help.

I'm hoping someone out there can give me a hand with it. There is a process which mmap()s a largish (100meg) file, which is used to store statistical information. There is a custom apache module running in apache on the same machine, which reads the stats from the mmap()d file, and generates a graph dynamically based on some information in that file. The first process is not related to apache i.e. there is no fork/exec, it is started separately. The stats process is looping over log data. Basically it reads in a chunk of log data (about 50k), parses it, and updates the mmap()d stats structure. This takes place every 20 seconds or so, and works great. The apache processes also work great. A few seconds after each time through the loop, though, the disk goes nuts for about 10-15 seconds (iostat 1 output is included at the end of this message.) During this time, the machine is pretty much locked up. Worse, the apache processes all go into a ufslk2 state, and hang for up to 15 seconds. My assumption has been that this disk thrashing state occurs because of the way that mmap() keeps in-core data synchronized with the disk backing. The stats program doesn't call msync() anywhere, so I assume that this is just the default behavior. It looks like it's postponing all writes for a little while, then locking the file and rewriting the whole darned thing at once. Some thoughts and failed attempts: 1) Periodic msync() calls over portions of the mmap()d area. This solved the problem but introduced another - the program couldn't keep up with the log data input rate :( I could probably hack on the frequency/size of msyncs to find a happy medium? Maybe? 2) MAP_ANON would solve the I/O problem, clearly, but I can't figure out how to share an mmap()d MAP_ANON area between unrelated processes. 3) system V shared memory. Too much data :( 4) break it into a few separate mmap()d files or shared memory segments. Definitely not desirable from a simplicity standpoint, but... 5) make apache and the stats program related, and use MAP_ANON. Again, not desirable for simplicity's sake. All but 1 also lose us the disk backing, which is desirable (though not critical, I suppose...) So can anyone offer any insight into why this disk thrashing is happening, whether my assumption(s) are correct, and what (if anything) can be done to help improve the situation?

The original text by djv@bedford.net looked good enough, but a change in the support page something along the lines of: "Mailing lists are the primary support channel .... When in doubt about what list to post a question to, post to _freebsd-question@freebsd.org_, and one of the many volunteer helpers on the mailing list will get back to you."

Our FreeBSD 2.1.2 was reinstalled from 486DX/33 to Pentium class machine. There is 28.8K modem attached to the box, however I can not make more then 960bypes/sec out of it using UUCP (and that's the only usage of the modem). UUCP setup came from the previous box, where we had up to 3K/sec transfer rates and 'port' speed range for uucp is 14400..57600. So I tried to remember, what was done to the system to achive high speed, but failed. So I tried stty -f /dev/modem crtscts and that did seem to make difference. Then I tried stty -f /dev/modem speed 57600 but that fails for speeds above 9600. /dev/modem is link to /dev/cuaa1 What should be done to the device to get normal speed out of it? Please reply to e-mail address. Thanks! Thank you in advance.

I'm in the process of converting our web server from Slackware >Linux to FreeBSD (Apache). We need a down and dirty way to transfer the >/etc/passwd file to a format the FreeBSD understands. Please resopnd >via e-mail. Thanks. I wish I could go into lots of detail here, but I can't. The difference between a linux password file and a freebsd one is that all the same information is there, but one has more fields than the other does. I've converted password files between various unices using sed and awk scripts. Here's the quickest, vaguest sed/awk lesson you'll ever get: orpheus:vi3g/BUV6Y05.:500:100:Jeffrey Dunitz:/home/orpheus:/bin/bash orpheus:mz/.Rcl79oNnS:500:100::0:0:Jeffrey Dunitz:/home/orpheus:/bin/bash So there's two example password entries, one from a standard unix password file and one from a FreeBSD master.passwd. Note that freebsd has some extra :0:0: stuff. Also notice that the fields are separated by : characters. Also note bigtime that those encrypted passwords are made up and just look like actual passwords. I'm not stupid enough to mail out my actual password file entries so that you all can try to crack them. :) Anyway... You can use awk to spit out fields and arbitrary data: cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $1":"$2}' just prints the first two fields with the colon. You have to quote the colon like that, or it won't work right. You can then figure out how to add in the extra ":0:0" stuff on your own. Should be easy. Note that there are some religious fanatics who would insist that the only way to do this right is to use Perl. Other crazies will tell you that you must use sed. I know how to do it with awk, and it took me about 45 seconds to actually figure out how to do it. It would take me another 45 to actually generate a working password file with the extra stuff in there. I don't know if I could figure out how to make perl do that same thing. I'm not a perl god.

It seems that FreeBSD is using Password database as opposed to linux's shadow password. I was trying to compile smaller and customized kernel for my system. I manage to read the handbook and the docs. I can compile but i have several questions to ask : 1) Is there no config script like in linux that ask you this or that option rather than you have to comment or add lines by yourself ? 2) Where can i find complete kernel configuration ? Handbook said it is too broad 3) I compiled APM but when i tried to execute APM it said can't open /dev/apm. Why ? FYI,I did do this in /dev -> sh MAKEDEV all ( apm was already there but not accessible ) Thank you Regards, Leonard Ong Leonard Ong Advanced Research,Inc Leonard Ong| Confusious said : " The Journey of thousands miles (Íõ¶°ºÀ) | begins with a small single step " | Leonard_Ong@iname.com - Share Knowledge together!

First of all, according to JKH - "Don't *whack* use *whack* popper", or something along those lines. Security hole in it since 2.2.6, so, if you must, install the port in /usr/ports/mail/popper. This is also you problem. Your 2.2.6 install puts popper in /usr/libexec. You _really_ should use the port, and that will put popper in /usr/local/libexec. Use cvsup (explained in the book, I imagine) to update your ports collection, and then go into /usr/ports/mail/popper and type "make install". > after I do so and reboot, I get the following messages. You _really_ don't need to reboot. Type "killall -HUP inetd" to apply changes to /etc/inetd.conf. "FreeBSD: because rebooting is for adding new hardware."

Even after it times out, it just redials right away, even if there's nothing else turned on on the network. The only thing this computer runs all the time is sendmail, sshd, apache, and dhcpd. Could any of these be causing it to want to be online? I know sendmail isn't trying to send anything because another machine is the default SMTP server.

A great way to debug things like this is to run tcpdump on your tunnel device. tcpdump -n -i tun0 Wait for the line to drop and come back up. Then take a look at the timestamps from tcpdump and the ppp logfile to determine which packet triggered the dialout. Once you find the offender, filter it with a dial filter. I have my ppp set up this way: # Don't reset keep alive timer on ICMP, DNS, NTP, or RC5 packets set filter alive 0 deny icmp set filter alive 1 deny udp src eq 53 set filter alive 2 deny udp dst eq 53 set filter alive 3 deny udp src eq 123 set filter alive 4 deny udp dst eq 123 set filter alive 5 deny tcp dst eq 2064 set filter alive 6 permit 0/0 0/0 # Don't let ICMP or NTP packets cause us to dial set filter dial 0 deny icmp set filter dial 1 deny udp src eq 123 set filter dial 2 deny udp dst eq 123 set filter dial 3 permit 0/0 0/0 Sendmail is fond of doing DNS lookups (for MX lookups), so you might want to add DNS packets to your dial filter. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 19 18:26:36 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA18458 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 18:26:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cs.uoregon.edu (asterix.cs.uoregon.edu [128.223.8.9]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA18450 for ; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 18:26:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from wcarey@cs.uoregon.edu) Received: from ix.cs.uoregon.edu (wcarey@ix.cs.uoregon.edu [128.223.202.21]) by cs.uoregon.edu (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id SAA28323; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 18:25:44 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 18:25:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Woody Carey To: Blair Gowans cc: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: Year 2000 Compliance In-Reply-To: <01BDCC25.0053F380@BLAIR> 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 On Thu, 20 Aug 1998, Blair Gowans wrote: > As the Year 2000 compliance manager of my organisation in Australia, I wish to establish the status of FreeBSD's year 2000 compliance as an operating system.

Actually, I can, but I'm immediately kicked back to the login prompt following the message: "this account is currently unavailable". I can log in under admin, but don't seem to have the umph thereby to fix the problem not allowing my to login as root. I've been given various procedures to follow that are supposed to be the remedy: including things that begin with a "-s" at the boot prompt, and commands that include "chfn root", etc. Everything I've been told so far has been just cryptic/incomplete enough that I end up getting nowhere. I spent 6 years as a SCO Unix installer/user/programmer so, I'm not totally without clues. I've just never been without access to root. I can be at the machine whilst following any advise anyone might be able to share is given. If you need to know more about the whole situation I can give you what I have. We currently have our webpage up on this machine and would like to be able to proceed from where we are. Right now we're up, but frozen. Assistance is much needed and appreciated.

That's way more than plenty. You can have a running system with sources for some of it in less than 200 megs. A half gig partition leaves you room for more sources or a very large home directory. If you wanted to go extra-lean, you can fit the base system with a minimal install of X (the server, the basic programs like xterm, xedit, xclock, xclipboard, etc) in about 100 megs or maybe less than that. I've done a minimal install of FreeBSD with no X, which was around 45-50 megs, and a minimal install of Linux with X, compilers, and kernel sources, which was about 90 megs. I'd have to think that FreeBSD would be similar. > > Also, what software can you use to create a partition without losing > everything on your disk? > some people have used FIPS to do this. it's thought to be safe, but since changing partitions is always dicey business, be sure to back up--there is a small chance that something weird could happen. Read the FIPS documentation before proceeding. I've never used it, so I really don't know anything about it other than it exists, people use it, and I've never heard anyone complain that it trashed their disk. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeffrey Dunitz | Current Job: | orpheus@avalon.net BOFH Emeritus, Avalon Networks | Information Services | Iowa City, IA http://www.avalon.net/~orpheus | Cray Research/SGI | (319) 339-8268 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 19 20:22:04 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA01775 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 20:22:04 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from lemieux.hockey.net (lemieux.hockey.net [209.98.94.246]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA01715 for ; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 20:21:55 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from orpheus@lemieux.hockey.net) Received: from localhost (orpheus@localhost) by lemieux.hockey.net (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id WAA04776; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 22:27:43 -0500 Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 22:27:42 -0500 (CDT) From: Jeffrey Dunitz To: Jason Godfrey cc: Adrian , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: XWindows Size & Creating Paritions 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 On Wed, 19 Aug 1998, Jason Godfrey wrote: > On Wed, 20 Aug 1997, Adrian wrote: > > > Could you install FreeBSD with XWindows easily in a 500 meg partition? > > Not sure on this one.

I think it was 7 or 8, maybe. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeffrey Dunitz | Current Job: | orpheus@avalon.net BOFH Emeritus, Avalon Networks | Information Services | Iowa City, IA http://www.avalon.net/~orpheus | Cray Research/SGI | (319) 339-8268 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 19 20:36:31 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA03903 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 20:36:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from lemieux.hockey.net (lemieux.hockey.net [209.98.94.246]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA03878 for ; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 20:36:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from orpheus@lemieux.hockey.net) Received: from localhost (orpheus@localhost) by lemieux.hockey.net (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id WAA04767; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 22:18:38 -0500 Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 22:18:37 -0500 (CDT) From: Jeffrey Dunitz To: Ryan Clark cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD Books In-Reply-To: <19980820012615.10568.qmail@hotmail.com> 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 On Wed, 19 Aug 1998, Ryan Clark wrote: > I was just wondering if there any freebsd books out there. > Thanks, > Ryan Clark There's Greg Lehey's excellent book. http://www.freebsd.org/publish.html has a list that includes Greg's book and a few other things you might like to read. buy greg's book. buy greg's book. buy greg's book. buy greg's book. > > ______________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeffrey Dunitz | Current Job: | orpheus@avalon.net BOFH Emeritus, Avalon Networks | Information Services | Iowa City, IA http://www.avalon.net/~orpheus | Cray Research/SGI | (319) 339-8268 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 19 20:52:50 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA06242 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 20:52:50 -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 UAA06237 for ; Wed, 19 Aug 1998 20:52:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from chen68@hotmail.com) Received: from hotmail.com (MIS_FSCHAN.capgemini.com.sg [10.64.0.230]) by mail.capgemini.com.sg (post.office MTA v2.0 0813 ID# 0-16936) with ESMTP id AAA240 for ; Thu, 20 Aug 1998 11:45:01 +0800 Message-ID: <35DB9B7F.40599116@hotmail.com> Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 11:44:01 +0800 From: Fook Sheng X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Subject: boot sector - Please help!!!!!!!!!!!! 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 trying very hard to write a boot sector, and I have some doubts which I really need your kind help. I intend to use Intel platform. This is what I know : When the system is reset or booted-up, Loads Sector 1, Track 0, Head 0 of the boot drive( A or C ) to absolute address 07C00h-07DFFh. Checks the word at absolute address 07DFEh for AA55h. This is the boot signature and is used by the BIOS to ensure that the sector contains a valid bootsector. If this signature isn't present, the BIOS will display an error message. Loads DL with: 00h if the boot sector was loaded from floppy disk, 80h if the boot sector was loaded from hard disk. This way, the bootsector knows which drive it was booted from. Jumps to 0000:7C00h, which is the start of the bootsector (my questions are :) The boot sector then has to locate and load the kernel from the harddisk using BIOS interrupt (am I correct?) and transfer control to the kernal by using a JMP(am I right?) is the source for freebsd's boot sector in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot? I can find directories like netboot, rawboot, dosboot, biosboot and kzipboot, can anyone tell me what each of these directories do? I guess for my case I should look into biosboot since I'm using BIOS to load my kernel (if I ever manage to write one!!), am I right? I hope I'mnot asking for too much, and I apologize if that is the case. I am trying to write a small little kernel just for interest, but my knowledge is very limited so I really appreciate if anyone can help me out by any means, if possible please give me any related links. Thanks so much in advance.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The message is happening because someone has changed the root shell to 'nologin'. If you have access to a FreeBSD system, look at 'man 8 nologin'. What happens when you boot into single user mode? Reboot the machine. At the boot prompt, enter -s. This should put you into a mode that allows you to change the root shell. This is a sort of "root maintenance" mode. You will have to mount the root file system, 'mount -a' should work. '/usr/sbin/vipw' should allow you to change the root shell. Change the last field in the "root" line to be '/bin/csh'. Then, exit vipw (:x). After you get back to the prompt, 'exit' should allow the machine to continue into the multi-user mode.

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 guys. I recently upgraded to a new motherboard / cpu / memory / video card and now that I am trying to run freebsd, I am getting rather random page faults out of the blue. Heres the run down: EPOX mainboard, socket 7 with AGP (100 Mhz bus) 64 Megs of SDRAM, a single DIMM (100 Mhz) AMD k6-2 / 300 (100 Mhz Bus) Ultra DMA IDE drive, 6.4 gigs... A Diamond Viper 330 AGP. (note, not doing any graphics here. page faults are occuring in text mode) Basically this started up with FreeBSD 2.2.6... everything seemed fine at first, everything went as planned. I decided to cvsup to the 2.2.7 release, I downloaded the cvsup binary from the ports and insatlled it. I started the cvsup and it crapped out. I tried several other things, and it crapped out randomly there too... well, I had done quite a bit in the way of disk partitioning lately so I thought maybe somehow I had screwed my 2.2.6 setup. I thought what the heck and grabbed my older 2.2.1 CD since thats what I had at home. I booted off the cdrom to do an install and this went well. I went through the partitioning information, set up booteasy, setup the mount points and such, selected the installation method, and then WHAM. page faulted again. So, while I realize the above config is fairly new and all, I wanted to see if you guys have had any problems with the above hardware. Heck, at this point I'm not trying to do anything special, and I figured what the heck, I would give it a try. Thanks for your help and insight.

It works. As resume, to make the RFC 1323 work, (1) I changed 'tcp_extensions=YES' in rc.conf (2) I also made the socket buffer sizes bigger; sysctl -w kern.maxsockbuf=1000000 sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.sendspace=500000 sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.recvspace=500000 Then it shows effectively wscale option in SYN packet. And to make TCPDUMP work, (1) I added in kernel config file, pseduo-device bpfilter 4 (2) then rebuilt the kernel. It works perfectly. My FreeBSD is 2.2.6, so it proves the above system variables exist. Furthermore, if anyone had already tried to install "dummynet" package, I'd like to listen to your opinion before I enter into that.

First of all Mr. Griepentrog said in his post, he was using FreeBSD for 3 years and was very satisfied with it. Then in the same paragraph he tells us about his recent disappointment with FreeBSD. Why ? Because he encounters frequent FP-exceptions. Then he states to be a mathematician. Every mathematician i know of has at least heard of machine-precision and of numerical-analysis and has at least once written a progrma in some language to compute the machine-precision of FP-numbers. Therefor i thought to myself, this man should at least be able to give "apropos float" and get "... fpsetprec(3), fpgetprec(3), fpgetmask(3), ...". Instead he claimed "... Linux does better ..." Finally you are right. My post was somewhat aggressive and my fault was to assume the "instead" in the sentence above. (Maybe i've heard far to much "Linux does this better ... Linux does that better ..."-discussions in the past). So please Mr Griepentrog, take my apologize. My previous email to you was rude and i try to do better next time. Also apologize to the questions-list for pestering the list with my personal bad feelings. Malte. > > FreeBSD is, IMHO, a stronger, more consistent implementation of Unix than Linux > is.

My problem is that when I play a music CD it uses a lot more CPU power than it should. Every second it jumps from 3% to 70-80%. This makes other software stop and ít is impossible to do anything while using the CD-player. I have tried several different CD-players and software including Win98s CDplayer. I have tested this on Intel based computers with Win98 and Win95 and none of them had this problem. I've also tested it with the soundcard disabled. I would like to know if you have any suggestions other than changing my processor and motherboard to Intel.

DOS or something may be > noticing the improper active bit on the second disk and rearranging it. Well, perhaps you are right. But it was about Master Disk active partition - the one wich flag was cleared to 0, not the slave. Well, Let me clear what I did (some history needed): After encountering the "active partition flag cleared" problem.... i.e. loop: (re)boot booteasy menu press F5->boot FBSD->Boot: prompt -> successfull FreeBSD boot reboot (# reboot) active partition cleared "somehow" BIOS msg "Not Found Any Active Partition - insert system disk" Ctl-Alt-Del -> boot clean DOS from floppy fdisk "set Master Disk Primary DOS partition 'active'" goto loop ... I reboot in clean DOS from floppy and used a "fdisk /mbr". Now my computer 'forgot' (no booteasy) abt the second (slave) disk and happily boot the W95. No problema. Active partition problem disappeared. Realy. Then....I bootinst the boot.bin from 2.2.2-R CDROM on the Prim. Master && Slave!!! disks (the original situation was with booteasy installed on the MASTER ONLY) At this moment: (re)boot booteasy menu Press F5 - FreeBSD -> go to booteasy menu from Slave Disk label: Press F1- FreeBSD - excpecting "Boot:" promt NO Boot: prompt, instead booteasy menu just redisplayed if Press F5 - DOS -> back to Master Disk booteasy menu booteasy menu from Master Disk if press F1 -DOS -> successfull W95 boot if Press F5-FreeBSD -> goto BTW, once you reched the "label:" above (i.e. just TRY to boot freebsd), the "active partition cleared" problem is there again at the next reboot. :-( Funny...

Since FreeBSD is UNIX, any UNIX book is applicable to FreeBSD. The books for BSD relate to FreeBSD more directly than SVR4 books. O'Reilly and Associates is one of the best publishers of UNIX books and manuals. I would recommend any of their UNIX books. The "Red" System Administration book (Seabass, et al) is also highly respected in the UNIX community. Also, the "man" pages are available! With these choices you have literally hundreds of books directly applicable to FreeBSD. If you have lots of free time, your choices are practically endless. Have fun reading!

It should be if you are careful about what you load up. I would probably only load bin, manpages, and X, with maybe doc. Use a 32M root, a 32M swap, 16M for var, and the rest for usr. Once you see how the machine runs and what space you have left, then load up extras to suit. Run the machine command line, except for when you need to run X, and it should probably be OK for a webscraper machine. If you want to run compiles, opt for another disk to put the user home files on. Disks 500M and smaller are pretty common in surplus for almost nothing. Even 100M more for the user home file system is going to give you a fair amount of play space. Good Luck....

We are considering using adress translation as we'd like to conserve IP space. Our understanding is that we will need another divert rule to natd. The man ipfw states ' If a packet matches more than one divert and/or tee rule, all but the last are ignored.' Now we are concerned that this might mean only one divert is possible - or does it mean diverts to a specific port are only allowed once (loop avoidance)? Or if we natd first, will the 'altered' IP allow us to have another divert rule as it's a 'different' IP passing through the ipfw rules? Anyone have any thoughts/information on this subject?

For installation you just need to know the IP-address of an FTP-server mirroring FreeBSD. hostname is/should be the name of your machine and it is up to you to choose one. The domain is the name of the IP-network your host belongs to. The domain is generally registered with the InterNIC. It would be good to read some introductory text about IP-networking and Unix.

There is an essential difference between DES-encryption and MD5-encryption of passwords. Both is possible with FreeBSD. I don't know about Linux.

-----------------903612986 I have a 486 DX 100 Mhz and 32 Mb of RAM with a caviar 1.2 Gb running on freebsd 2.2.5. I always have it on at home, but my brother entered the room I have the machine in and shut the power off, no questions asked. Of course he thought I mistakenly left it on, but the thing is that when I came home the machine didn't stop from reboting every 15 seconds and it displayed a message like the following: / not properly dismount init not found panic: init not found ...rebooting in 15 minutes or press a key Now I tried to use /stand/sysinstall to re-make the partitions ( when I entered the label options, all my original partitions had the right hd space but didn't have the mounting name, instead there was an * character) without any success, and furthermore, after that I cannot get the boot manager to give me the choice of starting up the freebsd booting, and now it only boots from my DOS partition. Please can anyone give me a hand on this? Thank you before hand. Simon.

I have set up an anonymous ftp site on a local machine. I can ftp in, but with unix ftp and ws ftp I cannot see the files or directories, I can however, download files and change directories (I am not getting a listing) what is really funny is that dos ftp works 100% fine, it displays the files like it should. I have tried changing the access on the ftp home directory, and files (could not see a 0777 file in the home dir with 0777) I am at a total loss, any help would be greatly appreciated.

It may > be forced to 100mbit. well, the setup and diag software let's me run a network test through 10Mbps hub from one machine to the other (boot to dos, run diag, network test, one is slave, the other is master). The setup doesn't give an option for media select though :( I am no c guru, but i looked trough definition files for dec network cards and it seemed to me that my card is little bit too new. it has a lot of options for 21142 chip, but mine is 21143. I tried to duplicate some of them, and recompile the kernel, but it didn't see any changes. If any brave soul who knows c wants to send me the updated source files/kernel i would be glad to try them on these network cards. If anyone wants to hack the kernel directly on that machine let me know, and i will put machine up on the internet since it's going in to production only 20 days from now. Well, i guess i am going to get a double speed hub then, since the router and the modem bank here uses 10mbps or may be other network cards. Val.

Then in the same paragraph he tells us | about his recent disappointment with FreeBSD. [...] First of all, I would like to point out that I understand some of the frustrations of tech support, particularly when it involves a product you have some personal investment in and considerably enthusiasm for. Believe me when I say this: I live in Seattle, the heart of Microsoft Country, and for around 95% of the businesses out here, NT Is The Best Thar Is. They're phasing out their Suns, their Macs, and pretty much everything else to go NT---and they're either baffled that their support costs are spiraling, or completely ignorant (at the moment) that they are. Just *try* pushing FreeBSD in this environment. [Oddly enough, one of the best tools I have is just setting up a FreeBSD box and an NT box, running on identical (and I mean *identical*) hardware, and letting them run their respective screensavers. My favorite ploy is to set up the NT "Stars" screensaver, with 200 stars (the maximum) on a relatively fast speed. It looks terribly jerky. Then I set up xtacy -root -few -stars -number 2048 -delay 0 on the Unix box in xscreensaver. I had to increase the number of stars to 2048 just to SLOW DOWN the box enough. I also keep -number 200 around just for reference. Dang if that FreeBSD box don't look tons faster.] But I still think that the appropriate method for dealing with misperceptions (and that's all this was, was a misperception) is to correct the perception, and do it in an engaging and preferably hypertolerant manner. Believe me: they'll feel more stupid than if you'd attacked them, but the won't feel like you hate them. One example would have been in this case: Wellllll, I can see how you'd get that impression, because what Linux does (in its infinite wisdom) is mask the floating-point exceptions by default altogether. So you still get inaccurate results (you should check that out sometime), but you just don't get *told* about it. FreeBSD is just being honest with you. Fortunately, FreeBSD has a solution, already in use by mathematicians worldwide. Check out "apropos float" sometime, paying special attention to fpgetmask(3), fpsetprec(3) and fpgetprec(3). A little smug, perhaps, but gentle. In one fell swoop, you deprecate the "Linux does better" feeling, and let them see that the answer was right in front of them the whole time. The main downside is that it takes a lot more time to answer questions this way. :l (Not a trivial concern to people like you, and especially Doug.) In any case, I do empathize, and I'm sorry he got to you like that. I trust you'll be able to take a deep breath next time. :) ---Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 20 10:27:55 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA16057 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 20 Aug 1998 10:27:55 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from alpo.whistle.com (alpo.whistle.com [207.76.204.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA16051 for ; Thu, 20 Aug 1998 10:27:52 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from julian@whistle.com) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by alpo.whistle.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA07238; Thu, 20 Aug 1998 10:25:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from current1.whistle.com(207.76.205.22) via SMTP by alpo.whistle.com, id smtpd007233; Thu Aug 20 17:25:31 1998 Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 10:25:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Julian Elischer To: Matthew Spiers cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ipfw with adress translation and ipltd In-Reply-To: <19980820150250.A23813@pavilion.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 If you are running 2.2.x then only one divert rule will work as you expect.. you need to compile the kernel with IPFW_DIVERT_RESTART this changes the semantics so that multiple diverts are possible. that change in semantics is that after diversion and reinjection, the packet restarts the firewall AFTER the rule# that caused the diversion.. the old semantics were that the reinjected packet restarted teh firewall at the beginning and skips the rule that caused the diversion. The problem with the old semantic is that you could only remember one diversion, so if you had 2 diverts you would loop forever between them. in -current the new semantic is the default.

Once again, I present with a tale of the weird: My secondary nameserver has always had the wrong time, but since it does nothing but DNS, I've never bothered to correct it: until yesterday. Like all of our machines, it runs ntpdate -sb on bootup and at midnight every day. Nevertheless, heres ns2's "date": jb214@ns2$ date Sat Aug 2 08:57:13 CDT 1930 And here are the relevent log entries: Aug 1 19:06:58 ns2 ntpdate[200]: step time server 192.52.106.6 offset 0.001704 Aug 1 19:09:25 ns2 named[85]: secondary zone "mfn.org" time warp Aug 1 19:47:57 ns2 named[85]: secondary zone "mfn.org" time warp Aug 1 20:04:27 ns2 named[85]: secondary zone "mfn.org" time warp Aug 1 20:37:54 ns2 named[85]: secondary zone "mfn.org" time warp Since NS2 is "headless" and I'll leave this as is if I can't resolve it *easily*, but I'm puzzled. Why won't ntpdate correct the date? Also, the time is off, even though I have the time zone set and the daemon running: jb214@ns2$ ps -wax PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 0 ?? DLs 0:00.57 (swapper) 1 ?? IWs 0:00.22 /sbin/init -- 2 ?? DL 0:00.79 (pagedaemon) 3 ?? DL 0:01.87 (vmdaemon) 4 ?? DL 0:14.74 (update) 23 ?? IWs 0:00.06 adjkerntz -i 80 ?? Ss 0:04.79 Go figure? While I'm at it, what does the "time warp" message actually *mean*? I can *see* that the time is wrong, but how is it that named knows something is wrong? And precisely what is it that named is trying to tell me? TIA, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org "If government wants us to behave, then it should set a better example."

My test configuration consist of a receiver on one and a sender both FREE BSD ver 2.2.6. I can successfully send and receive a packet size of 1400 bytes or less, using the system calls sendto and recvfrom. However, I cannot seem to get it to work for packets larger than 1400 bytes. The symptoms of the sender are as follow - after a hundred or more packets the sendto system call returns an error code via the perror call of such "sendto: can not route to host". In addition the receiver never receives any packets at all!! FYI, I also found that if run the test with packet size greater than 1400 bytes, starting the same sender and receiver mention above in different process windows on the same machine, the sender behaves the same. However the receiver does indeed receive all packets generated by the sender!!! I have set up an SGI IRIX UNIX machine as the sender and the receiver a FREEBSD and am able to run both of the above test successfully. Your help would be greatly appreciated, I have spent a few days looking into this problem and am stumped.

I can't speak specifically to Viking II's, but I can tell you that Quantum is permanently off our purchase list. We've had nearly 100% failure rates on them, only Micropolis was worse. Our favorites are IBM, then Seagate. It's astounding how cool the IBM drives run, the Quantums nearly burn your hand while the IBMs are barely above room temp.

Few things I'd check, I'm not familiar with Epox motherboards, but I'd check all your CPU settings again, especially the Voltage Jumper. If it's a jumperless motherboard I'd be dumping it PDQ. Also, check your memory, just because it says it's 100MHZ compatible, dosen't mean it is really. Very few memory manufacturers test's actually put any kind of load on the chip! They just test how fast the memory goes, and that what I/O it does is the same coming as it is going. Even if it failed speed tests, a lot of manufacturers sell off the rejects barrel to be reclaimed, but gets packaged as working memory!

So I was concern with the fact the FreeBSD is an application, which when you save a file withing that application use some formats proper of that application, is like word perfect document, when you save a file using wordPerfect if you try to type it from DOS it will be not possible, unless from WordPerfect when you save the file you instruct to save it in the format you want to see it. So I was wondering if by any chance, Is there a possibility that we can open the file within FreeBSD and then save it with a command of FreeBSD in ASCII or as Text file? Cause that will give me solution to this dilema.

I have recently transferred several virtual domains to another web hosting service, but my nameserver does not see the domains on look up (none of the ones I've transferred to this one hosting service). The interesting thing is that I have transferred other domains to other hosts and havent had this problem so I'm having difficullty accepting that its my problem, but hey it could be I guess. I will outline what I see below: ok heres a for instance: I do a whois chesserrealty.com from my nameserver and I get Record last updated on 21-Jul-98. Record created on 17-Oct-96. Database last updated on 20-Aug-98 04:21:41 EDT. Domain servers in listed order: NS1.GRNCO.NET 208.21.151.1 NS2.GRNCO.NET 208.21.151.2 ok, so then I do a nslookup for www.chesserrealty.com from my name server I get No match for "WWW.CHESSERREALTY.COM". of course I cant ping em or traceroute them since I cant look them up :) Now the interesting part: I use nslookup off of another server... like this: ns# nslookup www.chesserrealty.com ns2.mci.net Server: ns2.mci.net Address: 204.70.57.242 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.chesserrealty.com Address: 208.21.151.2 so now this is weird. these domains have been transferred for quite a long long time. I got to looking in my log files and I see lots of entries like this: Aug 15 14:26:56 ns named[11593]: "151.21.208.in-addr.arpa IN NS" points to a CNAME (ns1.grnco.net) Just out of curiosity, I ping ns1.grnco.net and I get ns# ping ns1.grnco.net PING hal.grnco.net (208.21.151.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 208.21.151.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=52 time=124.032 ms 64 bytes from 208.21.151.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=123.728 ms 64 bytes from 208.21.151.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=52 time=123.395 ms so this is what I _think_ is happening: the name server @ grnco is really named hal.grnco.net, from the lookup and pinging. ns1 is a cname for hal... the reverse records in their in-addr.arpa mapping is pointing the NS entries to a CNAME which is a no-no from what I've seen / read. Would my name server be refusing their "broadcasts" due to this? what else can I try or look at?

I've checked the FAQ and archives - it seems that support for the 90x series of netcards is spotty at best. Is there a driver for this card? A flag I need to set? Or is it simply not supported, and I'm out of luck? Thanks in advance!

I've installed FreeBSD 2.2.7 on two of the partitions so far, but whenever I boot, but no matter how I boot, it always boots from the first partition, not the second. (If it matters, I've tried by choosing the proper F? key under the FreeBSD boot manager, choosing the partition from the "Boot: " prompt, and by using the Minix boot manager). Poking around the system and FreeBSD WWW site yields no definite information, though hints that it can't be done. To cut to the chase, is there a way to boot different versions of Free- BSD from the same disk? After all, I can boot FreeBSD, Windows 95, and Minix from the same disk, why not FreeBSD-2.2.7, FreeBSD-stable, and FreeBSD-current? I'd be shocked if no one else has ever tried this, and hope I have not missed anything obvious. Thanks! Any suggestions, pointers, and hints welcomed.

I just got the last Release-CDs from Walnut Creek (2.2.7) and in the box there was a paper with some hints. One of the hints I don't like. It's the splitting of the system and the packages/ports collection in the future. As long FreeBSD user (over 4 years now) I never needed the live file system. But I often needed the ports or packages. Sometimes I'm looking for old software and because I have the old CDs I can get these ports even though they're not to get anywhere on the net anymore. I think, I'd quit my FreeBSD sub (I really don't want to, I like the features of FreeBSD, nothing ever has been better !) if this splitting will take place, because I could only use the install CD for upgrade but can't use the CD for installing software from the archive, so it's easier to get the Software directly from the net instead of having 2 subs (one for the system and one for the tools/ports/packages). Besides of this I couldn't afford 2 subs (just the shipping eats up my money). This would be sad because even though I don't have that much money, I'd like to further support FreeBSD. Maybe there's another solution ? Maybe put those big & huge packages (e.g. emacs) only as binary distribution (package) onto the CDs ? Or any other ideas ? Is the idea of splitting just a vague idea or is it burned in the heads without any kind of changing ? I really would accept more than 4 CDs just to get the full software archive. Maybe even a slightly higher price would be acceptable, as long as it's cheaper than 2 subs... Any ideas ? Bye, Udo -- Udo Wolter, email: uwp@i.am, www: http://i.am/uwp !!!!

Firstly, if I have a private class of IP numbers 192.168.168.1 - 255 and a BSD box with one single public IP number on the ppp link. I run ppp -ddial -alias myisp. This will permanently connect me to my ISP. I do not have any filters in place, so can anyone get to my private IP'ed network from the Internet, or because of the alias option and the private IP numbers not being routed are they blocked. Secondly, the documentation for setting filters should be perhaps a little bit clearer which section and which file the filter information should go in. I tried creating ppp.conf.filter, and only after a couple of hours searching did it occur to me that the filter commands should go into ppp.conf and the default section.

The reason for the FreeBSd boxes originally was cost, but in terms of ease of use the 3 BSD boxes have caused us far less problems than the NT box. >>>1.) Ease of Use (Administration) Depends on your background, we had a guy who had a unix background so BSD was not that difficult. In terms of installing NT is much simpler than BSD. >>>2.) Software Compatibility Issues (cgi's, perl scripts, C programs, etc.) We still can't get perl working properly on our NT box, worked right away with FreeBSD. We still can't afford a C compiler for NT, comes free with FreeBSD. >>>3.) Re-booting Issues We only ever turn the BSD boxes off to install new cards, which is not very often now, we have to restart the NT box every time we do any changes to the network. >>>4.) Security (Which is more secure?) Seem to be about the same for both. It depends on how vigilant you are about security fixes. The Unix ones seem to be a bit quicker once a hole gets identified though. >>>5.) FreeBSD w/ Apache OR Website Pro for NT? which is better & why? This would depend on exactly you want to do. If you have a database in ODBC format then NT is the only way to go (as far as I know), otherwise Apache is a great option. >>>6.) Anything else I forgot to mention. We use the NT box for ASP and data driven web sites, because our background is in VB and MS Access programming. If we need to serve up only static HTML pages or simple perl scripts we use the BSD machines. The biggest thing is cost, we have a 486 DX100 running a web server and small mail server, and we have a P2 running NT just doing web serving (although from a database) and the BSD box is much quicker. THe 486 we scraped together for $200, the NT box cost us $5000 including software. Hope this helps Cheers Craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 20 22:38:15 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA09663 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 20 Aug 1998 22:38:15 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ns0.iticom.net ([207.49.135.249]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id WAA09656 for ; Thu, 20 Aug 1998 22:38:12 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from trouble@webfyre.com) Received: from webfyre.com by ns0.iticom.net ; Fri, 21 Aug 1998 05:38:54 +000 Message-ID: <35DD158C.53741B72@webfyre.com> Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 01:37:01 -0500 From: "Security Mgr."

As for rebooting, I reboot my NT box more often than my FreeBSD box. I reckon FreeBSD is more secure as a webserver as everyone has the code [think about it before you reply].

I haven't been able to get Red Hat Linux 5.1 to work. It appears to install correctly but falls over in a big heap at boot time, with all sorts of weird and wonderful errors from the startup scripts and from init.

So, I haven't pursued it much. Just to let you know that FreeBSD 2.2.7 (which I received this morning) also panics with a "bad dir" error during installation of the "bin" distribution. Shame. Does anyone know the nature of the problem? It seems to be with the "wd" disk driver. For a start, unless the CD-ROM is in "alternate" configuration the kernel just doesn't find it at all.

Run xf86config again or the /stand/sysinstall (go to Configure, XFree86, it has three options at that point, option 3 is only for PC98 machines, option 1 is a GUI type program and option 2 is a command line type interface). You need to tell xf86config what king of monitor you have and what it's horizontal and vertical specifications are. This is discussed in "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg and the handbook on your newly installed system (the handbook is in /usr/share/doc/handbook as handbook.html and you can use lynx to view it, if lynx doesn't exist on your system, build it (make) and install it (make install) in /usr/ports/www/lynx) For anyone brand new to FreeBSD, let me suggest that you spend the money buying "The Complete FreeBSD", which comes with four CDs packed with software and contains the info most people will need to install and configure their initial FreeBSD system. Then buy "UNIX System Administration Handbook" and a basic Unix tutorial book like one of the ones by Sobell, and/or "Unix Power Tools". I know that it's tempting to just do everything the "free" way, but it's really not free. You are passing off the cost of your learning to the user community at large. These forums (mailing lists) should be devoted to solving problems not already addressed by the existing documentation.

MySQL runs on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux and other Unix and Unix-ish system and offers ODBC drivers. I can think of no instance in which NT with any available web server would be a better solution than Apache on a Unix box (and yes, I run both Unix and NT boxen for a living). > >>>6.)

If we need to serve up only static HTML > pages or simple perl scripts we use the BSD machines. If your programmers known only VB and Access, then you might be stuck with an MS solution. A much better solution would be to pay for some training for your guys, and teach them Perl and Unix. In such an environment you can do everything you can in the VB world, but do it more quickly, more easily, more reliably, and have a far superior product when it's done. In my current position I use Apache on Unix (Solaris 2.5.1) machines to build dynamic web pages and maintain small-to-medium-size databases. I also run a purchased vertical-market package on an NT box. Changes to the dynamic page build scripts happen much rapidly on the Unix machines, and we have had far fewer security- related issues on the Unix boxes. I have also run some benchmarks, and found that I can get a much higher web throughput from the little P90 with 32 MB of RAM at my desk (running FreeBSD) than from the NT machine, a PPro 233 with 128 MB of RAM.

Now you have to configure ppp yourself (go to /etc/ppp and set up the files, also see man pppd). I suggest you configure them so they support "demand dialing" a.k.a. "dial-on-demand". This way, anytime you fire up netscape or anything that wants access to the Internet, your MODEM will dial/connect... Then prior to starting /stand/sysinstall, ensure a connection is established... (use a ping to your ISP). Later, you can set up ipfw (IP firewall) to NOT cause a connection due to pings, and such other trivial stuff. See previous threads on this forum.

The NT box starts to slow down after only a moderate load. The linux box actaully gets better as the load goes up, probably due to the way the buffer cache handles repetitive file access.

Apologies...my system has been in a state of dis-repair for the past few weeks, and I haven't been able to get the upgrade to that port yet. The problem you are seeing, as I recall it, is that you have no config files, which the current port wasn't smart enough to tell you. The newest version of XICQ does have modifications so that it at least tells you what you are missing before it exits cleanly... I will try and get it upgraded this coming weekend...

This was apparently caused by enabling "Speculative Read" in the BIOS. Abit AB-TX5 (Intel 430TX) AMD K6-233 at "normal" voltages and clock 64 MB SDRAM (10 ns) I do not know the hardware cause of this problem; the vendor I use has been very reliable and supplies better-than-average components.

Unfortunately, I have run into a problem which I cannot figure out, despite having read all the relevant docs. I really hope I am not being an utter idiot and wasting your time, but I would really appreciate some help. I have created a boot disk and it seems to work fine. The problem arises when I try to install via FTP. The Help menu recommends installation by ethernet, a type of connection the machine has. Unfortunately, when I get to the menu specificying how the connection is to be made, the only options which come up are direct parallel link or two pairs of SLIP and PPP opetion -- there doesn't seem to be an Ethernet option. I have tried using both the PPP options, but to no avail -- even though I have the name server info correct, I end up with the messahe that 'ftp.freebsd.org' is not recognised.

I searched man > ftpd and found nothing. In the initial install on the machine which is to be the ftp archive for later local ftp installs, when the setup screen in sysinstall asks for you to set up the ftp login data, change the box that has /var/ftp as the original ftp user area to /home/ftp /usr/home/ftp (or wherever normal login users reside) That is the easiest way to do it. It can be done manually after install, but gets more complicated. You will need to edit the password files and then tar up ftp from var and move it to wherever the password file points to as the correct ftp location. Use vipw to edit it and remake the database. If you have a separate disk system for users and you want to keep it separate from the usr or root trees, then hang the second drive off /home. If all you have is one drive, then it is unimportant where you hang the users, so use /home or /usr/home, for example. This is a good use for a small second drive --- a safe or portable ftp archive playspace. This assumes that you only want to use a small /var for its original intended use as the variable data file system with machine dependent data. I don't consider something like Mr. ftp to be a machine dependent person or login, especially if he is to hog a considerable amount of system space allocation by mirroring a large RELEASE install tree, for example. If you had several disk drives to play with, then you could put /var on one whole drive by itself and let Mr. ftp have room to play galore. If you only have one or two drives, then put Mr. ftp along with the other users, if he hogs user space for things like a whole RELEASE tree. One could make the /var filesystem a large as necessary, but that would waste valuable space later on if the ftp RELEASE tree were removed. IMHO it is more workable to make Mr. ftp a normal login file system area. There is pro and con for that, but if it is on your local system, and space may be tight, make Mr. ftp a normal user area and keep the /var file system as small as possible. That will conserve disk space in the end. > > Make him located in /home or /usr/home as others, so that he has > > plenty of room to play in, OR, make /var plenty big to handle > > the RELEASE space needed (150 megs minimally, for the basic > > suite less all the tons of packages and ports distfiles). > > The basic suite includes...?

That is kindof big for /var on a smaller system, although I can't think of anything theoretical that says /var could not be as big as you need.

But what are the pros and cons? Where could I find a discussion > or tutorial on this? I can't point to one right off, but the first thing I learned a couple of years back, when playing with FBSD on my local servers was that the ftp area overwhelmed /var. I routinely keep it out of there now, because I don't want to waste disk space in /var holding things that may not be around long, like a whole RELEASE tree (a con). It is more advantageous disk space wise to put it on a large file system such as /usr (a pro). That way, if it changes or is deleted over time the /var is not holding excess empty space. > > 2.

The /usr/src tree is always available to Mr. Root for compiles of kernels, etc. I would not be of the opinion that Johnny ftp user should have clear access to the main system sources, but rather to a copy of them. Mr. Root feels safer that way... That is IMHO, .... others may feel differently. > > The space considerations in > > the ftp login still apply... have plenty of space available. > > You see, that's the main problem. I don't have plenty of space... If space is tight, keep /var small and put ftp on the /usr file system. Since sources can come along in the installs, when you do the install, then let each machine or one particular machine have an open /usr/src tree somewhere other than /usr/src, for example in ftp/pub/usr/src. I am sure others may have suggestions, too, well worth considering, but, the first thing I load up on a machine are lots of spare ftp things, that would normally overwhelm /var.

However, aolserver is highly threaded. Given Freebsd's rather limited support for threads, I think you would get poor performance, if it worked at all. The preferred platform for aolserver is Digital Unix, where it really screams. I happen to have this configuration setting on a box next to my desk, and really love it. I hear that FreeBSD 3.0 is going to have thread support. It would probably be worth a look at that point.

(was: trouble with sio on Thinkpad 770) In-Reply-To: <19980819140829.08171@right.PCS> 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, I tried adding options VM86 to a 3.0 kernel from 19980711-SNAP but this did not fix the problem. I noticed in the LINT config that npx0 now has an iosiz parameter that can be set to the memory size instead of MAXMEM and that this can be set with userconfig as well. This option does work when I set it in the kernel config file but does not work when using userconfig since it only takes effect on the next boot after the parameter is recorded in the kernel -- since the machine hangs during boot it never gets recorded -- a catch 22 scenario. This is all very useful for working around the problem and I thank you for it but is not getting at the deeper issue of what is going wrong in the first place and to determine the appropriate action to take -- either fix FreeBSD or give useful information to IBM so they can fix their BIOS. I'm looking for direction and assistance in what I should be looking at to get a handle on the deeper issue.

(tput in this case.) If it's a shell script, (e.g. clear) exec replaces the sh running the script with tput. >From the command line, it replaces your login shell. > 2) How can I write a shell script that does the same thing? (I tried, > but, of course, it did exactly what 'clear' does). for reasons, see the preceding. Bash has a .bash_logout script, maybe other shells do. This is the sort of thing you need to do on a system where you are not rooted. Usually, a better way is to have getty clear the screen. Adding a "\f" to the login banner sequence in /etc/gettytab seems to do the trick. Before: default:\ :cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\nFreeBSD (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200: After: default:\ :cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\f\r\nFreeBSD (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200: Note that this will affect all getty'ed logins: console, serial lines. (But not telnet and rlogin. These can be dealt with as well, I think, but am too lazy to dig it out.) Maybe some terminal types will choke on the \f.

It means to "replace" the current process (the shell) with the named one. So, your shell isn't running anymore, the tput program is. When the tput program ends; you are logged off. Now, consider what this does for a shell script. Recall that executing a script actually starts up another shell (unless you use exec to avoid that.) So, when you have this in a shell script and execute that script... the sub-shell exec's tput; which ends and returns back to your original shell. From the 'sh' man page: exec [command arg ...] Unless command is omitted, the shell process is replaced with the specified program (which must be a real program, not a shell builtin or function). Any redirections on the exec command are marked as permanent, so that they are not undone when the exec command finishes. - Dave Rivers - > > Roman > > > -- > Roman Katsnelson > Graphnet, Inc. > romank@graphnet.com > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 21 13:31:28 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA26020 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 21 Aug 1998 13:31:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.dreamfire.net (relax.dreamfire.net [209.160.21.220]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id NAA25985 for ; Fri, 21 Aug 1998 13:31:18 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from sean@dreamfire.net) Received: (qmail 3326 invoked from network); 21 Aug 1998 20:30:34 -0000 Received: from sleeping.ulink.net (HELO relax) (209.160.21.220) by sleeping.ulink.net with SMTP; 21 Aug 1998 20:30:34 -0000 Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 13:30:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Sean-Paul Rees To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: NETATALK and FreeBSD 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- I have a LAN at my house, with a few macintoshes.

So when doing the clear command it calls /bin/sh that calles the exec Then when exec is done the /bin/sh dies, leaving you with the shell you logged in with. If you think that clear is strange then look at the script that is /usr/bin/clear in Solaris.

I've got the MMJ to 25-pin serial connector, so the physical connection is no problem, but I can't get any communication between the FreeBSD box and the VT. I've edited /etc/ttys and inserted an entry for ttyd1 (and I've tried ttyd0 too): ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure I set vt100 compatibility mode on the 320, thinking it might be easier to achieve communication, after vt300 mode didn't work, with no luck. The VT320 is set up as follows: VT100 mode, VT100 ID, Transmit=9600, Receive=Transmit, XOFF at 64, 8bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no auto answerback. I've also tried No XOFF and XOFF at 128. The FreeBSD box is using a standard termcap and gettytab. It's got a modem at cuaa0 (which is why I've mainly been trying ttyd1). Running FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE. Thanks for any help. Greg -- Gregory S.

Look at execve(2) and exec(3) for info, but here's a slightly-accurate summary: The leading `exec' means, ``take the current process, and _replace_ it with tput.'' So if you type `exec ...' at the command line, the shell will no longer be running. To see this in action, do the following: Pop up two xterms. In one of them, type "echo $$" to get the shell PID, which I'll call . In the other xterm, do "ps ", and it will print your shell info. Now type "exec sleep 15" in the first xterm. Quickly do "ps " in the other xterm -- the PID is no longer your shell, it is the sleep process. Magic! :) After 15 seconds, the sleep will finish, and the xterm will close. If you want to simply clear the screen, skip the exec: 1. At a command line: you could type "tput clear" 2. In a shell script, without exiting the shell script: "tput clear" Hope this helps!

I seem to remember the problem was handshaking... I also seem to remember resorting to using the device on /dev/cuaaX rather than /dev/ttydX... Make sure your cable is wired properly... As a last resort try reversing pins 2 and 3, and the handshaking pins (these depend on whether your using DB9 or DB25 at the PC end)... I've been thinking of dragging the old DEC VT320 out the cupboard again, simply because of the fact a serial line to our FreeBSD boxes crashes less often than a WinNT/95 box running telnet ;-) I also seem to remember the ESC key remaps as something weird like CTRL-3 unless your careful ;-) Regards, Karl Pielorz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 21 14:45:53 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA03804 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 21 Aug 1998 14:45:53 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from priscilla.mu.org (priscilla.mu.org [206.156.231.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA03792 for ; Fri, 21 Aug 1998 14:45:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from paul@priscilla.mu.org) Received: (from paul@localhost) by priscilla.mu.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA01401; Fri, 21 Aug 1998 16:44:48 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from paul) Message-ID: <19980821164447.A1394@mu.org> Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 16:44:47 -0500 From: Paul Saab To: Sean-Paul Rees , questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: NETATALK and FreeBSD References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93i In-Reply-To: ; from Sean-Paul Rees on Fri, Aug 21, 1998 at 01:30:34PM -0700 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG which version of FreeBSD is this?

(If you have a 16550A, then a boot message claiming a 16450 is a non-detection, sigh.) Sort of equivalently, does a mouse or external modem work on that port?

I don't know why you say Digital is the preferred platform, but probably the busiest site that runs AOLserver is www.aol.com. They run it on a farm of SGI Origin 200 servers (Irix 6.2). >From the AOLserver download page: "Unsupported platforms: FreeBSD, IBM AIX, Windows 95 and Windows NT" The fact that they specifically exclude FreeBSD suggest that they have some particular reason for doing so. Which means you probably won't have much luck making it work. (What's interesting to note is that they supported WinNT up through v2.1.

Hopefully this is why they don't support FreeBSD, so that may change when 3.0 comes out.

Also, you may want to try switching from a straight-through cable to a null-modem, or vice versa. I would expect that a VT320 is a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment, which is French for "thing that talks to modem") and so is your FreeBSD box. You connect DTE to DCE (Data Communications Equipment, Portugese for "modem") with a straight cable, but you connect DTE to DTE with a null-modem. -- Matthew Hunt * Inertia is a property of matter. http://www.pobox.com/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.

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. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the second edition (16 December 1997), please check the parallel posting or get the file at ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2. 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.

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 Location of the sample files ____________________________ On the 2.2.5 CD-ROM only, the location of the sample files does not match the specifications in the book (/book on the first CD-ROM).

It contains the following files: drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/ drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/mutt/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 352 Oct 15 15:21 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.mail_aliases -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 9394 Oct 15 15:22 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.muttrc drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 18281 Oct 16 16:52 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.fvwm2rc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 1392 Oct 17 12:54 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-desktop -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 296 Oct 17 12:35 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.xinitrc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 622 Oct 17 13:51 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-rcfiles -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1133 Oct 17 13:00 1997 cfbsd/scripts/Uutry -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1028 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/README drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 18 19:32 1997 cfbsd/docs/ Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 199111 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.txt -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 189333 Oct 16 14:28 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.txt -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 188108 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 226439 Oct 16 14:27 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 788 Oct 16 15:01 1997 cfbsd/README -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 248 Oct 17 11:52 1997 cfbsd/errata To extract one of these files, say cfbsd/docs/packages.txt, and assuming you have the CD-ROM mounted as /cdrom, enter: # cd /usr/share/doc # tar xvzf /cdrom/xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz cfbsd/docs/packages.txt See page 209 for more information on using tar. These files are an early version of what is described in the book. I'll put up some updated versions on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/ in the near future. Thanks to Frank McCormick for drawing this to my attention. Chapter 8: Setting up X11 _________________________ For FreeBSD 2.2.7, this chapter has changed sufficiently to make it impractical to distribute errata. You can download the PostScript version from ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/xsetup.ps, or the ASCII version from ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/xsetup.txt. No HTML version is available. Page xxxiv __________ Before the discussion of the shell prompts in the middle of the page, add: In this book, I recommend the use of the Bourne shell or one of its descendents (sh, bash, pdksh, ksh or zsh). With the exception of sh, they are all in the Ports Collection. I personally use the bash shell. This is a personal preference, and a recommendation, but it's not the standard shell. The standard BSD shell is the C shell (csh), which has a fuller- featured descendent tcsh. In particular, the standard installation sets the root user up with a csh. See page 152 (in this errata) for details of how to change the shell. Page 3 General changes Page 11: Reading the handbook _____________________________ The CD-ROM now includes Mosaic and Netscape. Replace the last paragraph on the page and the example on the following page with: If you're running X, you can use a browser like Mosaic or Netscape to read the handbook. Both of these programs are included on the CD-ROM. If you don't have X running, use lynx. To install them, enter: $ pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/mosaic-2.7b5.tgz or $ pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/netscape-3.04.tgz or $ pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/lynx-2.7.2.tgz The numbers after the name (2.7b5, 3.04 and 2.7.2) may change after this book has been printed. Use ls to list the names if you can't find these particular versions. Thanks to Stuart Henderson for drawing this to my attention. Page 12: Printing the handbook ______________________________ The instructions for formatting the handbook are obsolete. Replace the section starting Alternatively, you can print out the handbook with the following text: Alternatively, you can print out the handbook. You need to have the documentation sources (/usr/doc) installed on your system. You can find them on the second CD-ROM in the directory of the same name. To install them, first mount your CD-ROM (see page 175). Then enter: $ cd /cdrom/usr/doc/handbook $ mkdir -p /usr/doc/handbook you may need to be root for this operation $ cp -pr * /usr/doc/handbook You have a choice of formats for the output: o ascii will give you plain 7-bit ASCII output, suitable for reading on a character-mode terminal. Page 4 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition o html will give you HTML output, suitable for browsing with a web browser. o latex will give you LATEX format, suitable for further processing with TEX and LATEX. o ps will give you PostScript output, probably the best choice for printing. o roff will give you output in troff source. You can process this output with nroff or troff, but it's currently not very polished. LATEX output is a better choice if you want to process it further. Once you have decided your format, use make to create the document. For example, if you decide on PostScript format, you would enter: $ make FORMATS=ps This creates a file handbook.ps which you can then print to a PostScript printer or with the aid of ghostscript (see page 222). Thanks to Bob Beer for drawing this to my attention. 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 distribution 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 5 General changes Page 88: setting up for dumping _______________________________ The example mentions a variable savecore in /etc/rc.conf. This variable is no longer used--it's enough to set the variable dumpdev. Page 92 _______ At the end of the section How to install a package add the text: Alternatively, you can install packages from the /stand/sysinstall Final Configuration Menu. We saw this menu on page in figure 4-14 on page 71. When you start sysinstall from the command line, you get to this menu by selecting Index, and then selecting Configure. Page 93 _______ Before the heading Install ports from the first CD-ROM add: Install ports when installing the system ________________________________________ The file ports/ports.tgz on the first CD-ROM is a tar archive containing all the ports. You can install it with the base system if you select the Custom distribution and include the ports collection. If you didn't install them at the time, use the following method to install them all (about 40 MB). Make sure your CD-ROM is mounted (in this example on /cdrom), and enter: Page 96 _______ Replace the example at the top of the page with: Instead, do: # cd /cd4/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # for i in *; do > ln -s /cd4/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i > done Page 6 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition If you're using csh or tcsh, enter: # cd /cd4/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # foreach i (*) ? ln -s /cd4/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i ? end Thanks to Christopher Raven and Francois Jacques for drawing this to my attention. Page 128 ________ Replace the complete text below the example with the following: These values are defaults, and many are either incorrect for FreeBSD (for example the device name /dev/com1) or do not apply at all (for example Xqueue). If you are configuring manually, select one Protocol and one Device entry from the following selection. If you must use a two-button mouse, uncomment the keyword Emulate3Buttons--in this mode, pressing both mouse buttons simultane- ously within Emulate3Timeout milliseconds causes the server to report a middle button press. Section "Pointer" Protocol "Microsoft" for Microsoft protocol mice Protocol "MouseMan" for Logitech mice Protocol "PS/2" for a PS/2 mouse Protocol "Busmouse" for a bus mouse Device "/dev/ttyd0" for a mouse on the first serial port Device "/dev/ttyd1" for a mouse on the second serial port Device "/dev/ttyd2" for a mouse on the third serial port Device "/dev/ttyd3" for a mouse on the fourth serial port Device "/dev/psm0" for a PS/2 mouse Device "/dev/mse0" for a bus mouse Emulate3Buttons only for a two-button mouse EndSection You'll notice that the protocol name does not always match the manufacturer's name. In particular, the Logitech protocol only applies to older Logitech Page 7 Install ports when installing the system mice. The newer ones use either the MouseMan or Microsoft protocols. Nearly all modern serial mice run one of these two protocols, and most run both. If you are using a bus mouse or a PS/2 mouse, make sure that the device driver is included in the kernel. The GENERIC kernel contains drivers for both mice, but the PS/2 driver is disabled. Use UserConfig (see page 50) to enable it. 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. Reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # passwd 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 148 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Modern shells supply command line editing which resembles the editors vi or Emacs. In bash, sh, ksh, and zsh you can make the choice by entering Page 152 ________ After figure 10-8, add the following text: It would be tedious for every user to put settings in their private initialization files, so the shells also read a system-wide default file. For the Bourne shell family, it is /etc/profile, while the C shell family has three files: /etc/csh.login to be executed on login, /etc/csh.cshrc to be executed when a new shell is started after you log in, and /etc/csh.logout to be executed when you stop a shell. The start files are executed before the corresponding individual files. Page 8 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition In addition, login classes (page 141) offer another method of setting environment variables at a global level. Changing your shell ___________________ The FreeBSD installation gives root a C shell, csh. This is the traditional Berkeley shell, but it has a number of disadvantages: command line editing is very primitive, and the script language is significantly different from that of the Bourne shell, which is the de facto standard for shell scripts: if you stay with the C shell, you may still need to understand the Bourne shell. The latest version of the Bourne shell sh also includes some command line editing. See page 148 for details of how to enable it. You can get better command line editing with tcsh, in the Ports Collection. You can get both better command line editing and Bourne shell syntax with bash, also in the Ports Collection. If you have root access, you can use vipw to change your shell, but there's a more general way: use chsh (Change Shell). Simply run the program. It starts your favourite editor (as defined by the EDITOR environment variable). Here's an example before: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /bin/csh Full Name: Jack Velte Location: Office Phone: Home Phone: You can change anything after the colons. For example, you might change this to: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash Full Name: Jack Velte Location: On the road Office Phone: +1-408-555-1999 Home Phone: chsh checks and updates the password files when you save the modifications and exit the editor. The next time you log in, you get the new shell. chsh tries to ensure you don't make any mistakes--for example, it won't let you enter the name of a shell which isn't mentioned in the file /etc/shells--but it's a very Page 9 Install ports when installing the system good idea to check the shell before logging out. You can try this with su, which you normally use to become super user: bumble# su velte Password: su-2.00$ note the new prompt There are a couple of problems in using tcsh or bash as a root shell: o The shell for root must be on the root file system, otherwise it will not work in single user mode. Unfortunately, most ports of shells put the shell in the directory /usr/local/bin, which is almost never on the root file system. o Most shells are dynamically linked: they rely on library routines in files such as /usr/lib/libc.a. These files are not available in single user mode, so the shells won't work. You can solve this problem by creating statically linked versions of the shell, but this requires programming experience beyond the scope of this book. If you can get hold of a statically linked version, perform the following steps to install it: o Copy the shell to /bin, for example: # cp /usr/local/bin/bash /bin o Add the name of the shell to /etc/shells, in this example the line in bold print: # List of acceptable shells for chpass(1). # Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using # one of these shells. /bin/sh /bin/csh /bin/bash You can then change the shell for root as described above. Thanks to Lars Koller for drawing this to my attention. Page 10 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 176 ________ Add the following paragraph Unmounting file systems When you mount a file system, the system assumes it is going to stay there, and in the interests of efficiency it delays writing data back to the file system. This is the same effect we discussed on page 158. As a result, if you want to stop using a file system, you need to tell the system about it. You do this with the umount command. Note the spelling--there's no n in the command name. You need to do this even with read-only media such as CD-ROMs: the system assumes it can access the data from a mounted file system, and it gets quite unhappy if it can't. Where possible, it locks removable media so that you can't remove them from the device until you unmount them. Using umount is straightforward: just tell it what to unmount, either the device name or the directory name. For example, to unmount the CD-ROM we mounted in the example above, you could enter one of these commands: # umount /dev/cd1a # umount /cd1 Before unmounting a file system, umount checks that nobody is using it. If somebody is using it, it will refuse to unmount it with a message like umount: /cd1: Device busy. This message often occurs because you have changed your directory to a directory on the file system you want to remove. For example (which also shows the usefulness of having directory names in the prompt): Page 11 Install ports when installing the system === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 16 -> umount /cd1 umount: /cd1: Device busy === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 17 -> cd === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 18 -> umount /cd1 === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 19 -> Thanks to Ken Deboy for pointing out this omission. 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 to the | symbol, is the label. Page 208, middle of page ________________________ The example shows the file name /dev/rst0 when using the Bourne shell, and /dev/nrst0 when using C shell and friends. This is inconsistent; use /dev/nrst0 with any shell if you want a non-rewinding tape, or /dev/rst0 if you want a rewinding tape. Thanks to Norman C Rice for pointing out this one. Page 219 ________ Before the section Testing the spooler add the following section: Starting the spooler ____________________ As we saw above, the line printer daemon lpd is responsible for printing spooled jobs. If you're root, you can start it by name: Page 12 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition # lpd Normally, however, you will want it to be started automatically when the system starts up. You do this by setting the variable lpd_enable in /etc/rc.conf: lpd_enable="YES" # Run the line printer daemon See page 1609 for more details of /etc/rc.conf. Thanks to Tommy G. James for bringing this to my attention. Page 231 ________ Replace the first line of the example with: xhost presto bumble gw The original version allowed anybody on the Internet to access your system. Thanks to Jerry Dunham for drawing this one to my attention. Page 237 ________ In the section Installing the sample desktop, replace the first paragraph with: You'll find all the files described in this chapter on the first CD-ROM (Installation CD-ROM) in the directory /book. Remember that you must mount the CD-ROM before you can access the files--see page 175 for further details. The individual scripts are in the directory /book/scripts, but you'll probably find it easier to install them with the script install-desktop: Thanks to Chris Kaiser for drawing this to my attention. Page 242 ________ The instructions for extracting the source files from CD-ROM in the middle of page 242 are incorrect. You'll find the kernel sources on the first CD-ROM in Page 13 Starting the spooler the directory /src. Replace the example with: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/src/ssys.[a-d]* | tar xzvf - Thanks to Raymond Noel , Suttipan Limanond and Satwant for finding this one in several small slices. Page 257 ________ Replace the paragraph Berkeley Packet Filter with: pseudo-device bpfilter ______________________ The Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf) allows you to capture packets crossing a network interface to disk or to examine them with the tcpdump program. Note that this capability represents a significant compromise of network security. The number after bpfilter is the number of concurrent processes that can use the facility. Not all network interfaces support bpf. In order to use the Berkeley Packet Filter, you must also create the device nodes /dev/bpf0 to /dev/bpf3 (if you're using the default number 4). Current- ly, MAKEDEV doesn't help much--you need to create each device separately: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV bpf0 # ./MAKEDEV bpf1 # ./MAKEDEV bpf2 # ./MAKEDEV bpf3 Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my attention. Page 264 ________ In the list of disk driver flags, add: Page 14 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition o Bit 12 (0x1000) enables LBA (logical block addressing mode). If this bit is not set, the driver accesses the disk in CHS (cylinder/head/sector) mode. o In CHS mode, if bits 11 to 8 are not equal to 0, they specify the number of heads to assume (between 1 and 15). The driver recalculates the number of cylinders to make up the total size of the disk. 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 294 ________ Add the following section: Problems executing Linux binaries _________________________________ One of the problems with the ELF format used by more recent Linux binaries is that they usually contain no information to identify them as Linux binaries. They might equally well be BSD/OS or UnixWare binaries. That's not really a Page 15 Starting the spooler problem at this point, since the only ELF format that FreeBSD 2.2.7 understands is Linux, but FreeBSD-CURRENT recognizes a native FreeBSD ELF format as well, and of course that's the default. If you want to run a Linux ELF binary on such a system, you must brand the executable using the program brandelf. For example, to brand the StarOffice program swriter3, you would enter: # brandelf -t linux /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/linux-x86/bin/swriter3 Thanks to Dan Busarow for bringing this to my attention. 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 368 ________ Replace the paragraph after the second example with: In FreeBSD version 3.0 and later, specify the options PPP_BSDCOMP and PPP_DEFLATE to enable two kinds of compression. You'll also need to specify the corresponding option in Kernel PPP's configuration file. These options are not available in FreeBSD version 2. Thanks to Brian Somers for this information. Page 397 ________ In the section ``Nicknames'', the example should read: Page 16 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition www IN CNAME freebie ftp IN CNAME presto In other words, there should be a space between CNAME and the system name. Page 422 ________ Replace the text above the example with: tcpdump is a program which monitors a network interface and displays selected information which passes through it. It uses the Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf), an optional component of the kernel. It is not included in the GENERIC kernel: see page 257 for information on how to configure it. If you don't configure the Berkeley Packet Filter, you will get a message like tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: device not configured If you forget to create the devices for bpf, you will get a message like: tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: No such file or directory Since tcpdump poses a potential security problem, you must be root in order to run it. The simplest way to run it is without any parameters. This will cause tcpdump to monitor and display all traffic on the first active network interface, normally Ethernet: Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my attention. Page 423 ________ The description at the top of the page incorrectly uses the term IP address instead of Ethernet address. In addition, a page number reference is incorrect. Replace the paragraph with: o Line 1 shows an ARP request: system presto is looking for the Ethernet address of wait. It would appear that wait is currently not responding, since there is no reply. o Line 2 is not an IP message at all. tcpdump shows the Ethernet addresses and the beginning of the packet. We don't consider this kind of request in this Page 17 Starting the spooler book. o Line 3 is a broadcast ntp message. We looked at ntp on page 160. o Line 4 is another attempt by presto to find the IP address of wait. o Line 5 is a broadcast message from bumble on the rwho port, giving information about its current load averages and how long it has been up. See the man page for rwho on page 1167 for more information. o Line 6 is from a TCP connection between port 6000 on freebie and port 1089 on presto. It is sending 384 bytes (with the sequence numbers 536925467 to 536925851; see page 305), and is acknowledging that the last byte it received from presto had the sequence number 325114346. The window size is 17280. o Line 7 is another ARP request. presto is looking for the Ethernet address of freebie. How can that happen? We've just seen that they have a TCP connection. In fact, ARP information expires after 20 minutes. It's quite possible that all connections between presto and freebie have been dormant for this period, so presto needs to find freebie's IP address again. o Line 8 is the ARP reply from freebie to presto giving its Ethernet address. o Line 9 shows a reply from presto on the connection to freebie that we saw on line 6. It acknowledges the data up to sequence number 536925851, but doesn't send any itself. o Line 10 shows another 448 bytes of data from freebie to presto, and acknowledging the same sequence number from presto as in line 6. Thanks to Sergei S. Laskavy for drawing this to my attention. 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 convenient if you send your mail with UUCP. To tell sendmail to use a smart host (in our case, mail.example.net), find Page 18 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 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. Page 492 ________ Replace references to nmdb with nmbd. Page 493 ________ Replace the last paragraph on the page with: socket options is hardly mentioned in the documentation, but it's very important: many Microsoft implementations of TCP/IP are inefficient and establish a new TCP more often than necessary. Select the socket options TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up the response time of such applications by over 95%. Page 1620 _________ The description of /etc/hosts.lpd erroneously refers to the file /etc/ftpusers. This should be /etc/hosts.lpd, of course. Thanks to Anders Andersson for drawing this to my attention.

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. For further information on this subject, check http://www.lemis.com/email.html. 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.

Now, my problem is that PPP connectivity itself is not stable. I'm using ppp -auto -alias -ISP to connect. PPP will hang up after ten minutes, then soon afterwards, redial! Sometimes though, it seems it will sit for 30 minutes or so before it redials, even with no network activity, beyond the other two computers sitting, turned on. At other times, when ppp is not connected, it will not detect network traffic at all. I actually end up restarting the connected FreeBSD machine, when it starts to load the natp (? The thing that checks the time off of local time-servers.) then PPP dials, and everything works great. I'm running 2.2.6 on both FreeBSD machines, Pentium computers all around, Kingston net cards using the de0 driver on the FreeBSD machines, an Intel etherexpress on the 95 machine, and put in a new hub and cables last night as one of the old BNC cables was damaged. Is there anything in the setup that is generating network traffic? Sendmail is loading on both computers, I removed the time check from the computer. On the same token, what could be going on to keep PPP from detecting network traffic and initiating 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've been trying to setup an NIS client under FreeBSD 2.2.6 but unsuccessful, well kind of. It seems like every thing works, meaning : # ypwhich gives the NIS servers name # rpcinfo -p gives program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100005 3 udp 1012 mountd 100005 3 tcp 1022 mountd 100005 1 udp 1012 mountd 100005 1 tcp 1022 mountd 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100024 1 udp 1000 status 100024 1 tcp 1021 status 100007 2 udp 898 ypbind 100007 2 tcp 1019 ypbind # ypcat passwd gives the password file from the NIS server # ypcat hosts gives the hosts file on from the NIS server I can finger other users on the network too but I just cannot seem to login as a network user. We have two Digital Unix machines acting as the NIS primary and backup servers, several SCO and linux boxes acting as NIS clients without any problems. Our unix "guru" gave up too saying that it has do with the login process cause everything else looks OK. Please HELP !! Also, we are planning on cutting over to FreeBSD replacing all of the linux boxes if NFS performance proves to be better than Linux's. Do you know what implementation of NFS, FreeBSD uses ?

Both sio0 and sio1 are detected as 16550A's at boot-time. As for an external modem or mouse, I don't know. I'd have to (gasp) turn it off to change the 25-pin serial with the 9-pin serial to test a mouse. > If they're talking correctly, you should be able to run > "cu -s 9600 -l /dev/cuaa1" (without getty running on the line) > and type to the terminal, and vice-versa.

If you are able to build your own adapter, between a pair of DB25 connectors cross 2 & 3, 4 & 5, and connect 6, 8 & 20 together on either side. This is a "terminal null modem". Keeping 6, 8 & 20 together on either side means that power-cycling the terminal won't kick you off.

There are other limits, though (1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB; for some reason, they missed the opportunity with 16 GB). The only way I know to find out if you're affected by one of these is to try it.

I respect your great work but who will read that long boring message for a so little subject. I propose you http://www.aei.ca/~malartre/how-to-ask-en.html http://www.aei.ca/~malartre/how-to-ask-fr.html Sure, it's not complete but the model is there: short explanation for a short subject. It lack of explanation about how to reply and other mailing-list, also about how to subscribe unsubscribe, but it's kinda ok I think. I haved great support from a lot of people and the english on it is near-perfect (wow!) :-) What do you think?

Is that OK ? Doesn't really matter; FreeBSD doesn't use /etc/passwd at all. It's only for oddball 3rd-party programs that don't use getpw*(). All your config info looks okay to me. Can you do a "ypmatch passwd.byname" ? It should return the passwd line for that user. If that works, see if an "id " works. Make sure your "+" line in vipw doesn't have leading or trailing blanks; a trailing blank will be parsed as an invalid shell (preventing logins). I've got NIS clients on a couple 2.2.7 machines listening to a Netware 4.11 NIS server without any problems. You might want to try tcpdumping packets, to see if the BSD box is even sending out NIS queries. > Also, we are planning on cutting over to FreeBSD replacing > all of the linux boxes if NFS performance proves to be > better than Linux's.

Obtain a login as an ordinary user, then exploit a local way of getting root. A failed attempt to login locally, like "login" or "telnet localhost", might generate such error messages. I'd look for activity in all system logs around the time in question, and inspect the password database for alterations. Of course, such messages can be faked, too.

I posted a problem some time ago, when I was not on the list. I received no replies, and my problem is still not solved. I tried to serach the archives as well, but I could not find any answers. Please help me. I'm on the list now. I've set up a FreeBSD 2.2.5 server. Everything is OK, except for one thing: Dial-in. A user dials-in from a win 95 box, gets a terminal screen, logs in and gets the $ prompt from sh. They then type: exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct dialin (the dialin section from the ppp.conf file is as follows): dialin: ifaddr 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 set timeout 120 I've enabled a tty on port ttyd1 in my /etc/ttys file. So they are able to establish a PPP session to my server. Then after checking their mail, they disconnect. This is where the problem comes up. Sometimes, the PPP process on the server will die, and the port will be ready to accept another connection. Sometimes, however, it does not die, and if the next user tries to connect, they can't. I have to manually kill -HUP the PPP process. Initially, I thought it may be because the modem was not setting the CD low for long enough. So I changed modem settings to leave the CD on all the time, and take it low during disconnect. I set it such that it would hold the CD low for 10 seconds. This seemed to help, because now the PPP process died properly on remote disconnect, but only the first few times. Then, after 4 tries, the same thing was happening. I am now at a loss to understand what's going on. The modem is a Multitech MT1432. I used the following string to setup the modem: at&f&c2s0=1s17=100s24=100&w0 s0=1 to auto-answer s17 and s24 for the long space disconnect (hold the CD down for 10 seconds) &c2 for leaving the CD on all the time, and only to go low on disconnect. I tried the default settings to start with, (except s0=1), but that was bad. With the additional settings, it seems to have helped, but it won't do, because I am away from the server most of the time, so it has to work unsupervised mostly. As an aside: If I have more than one modem attached to the COM ports on my computer, how can I have PPP assign dynamic private IP's to dial-in users? The above configuration I have gives only one IP to the remote side.

I had a problem with my Matsushita/Panasonic 5.63 drive, when I tried to upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6: during the upgrade the installatin program gave me error number 5: input/output error. Well that's already history; since that I have Installed 2.2.6 from my dos drive. The Problem at the moment: When mounting : mount_cd9660 /dev/matcd0c /cdrom fbsd gives an error message: Matcd0: Illegal data mode for this track while reading block 64 When mounting: mount_cd9660 /dev/matcd0a /cdrom I can mount the disk, I can read it fine, but when i try to add_pkg something, it won't find everything, it reports that some packets are missing. My cdrom drive is connected to GUS MAX, port 0x340. (mat 5.63) I also tried my Sound Galaxy Nova 16, port 630. No hope. I also tried a Matsushita/Panasonic 5.62. With both the soundcards. No hope. Everything works perfectly in w95. I also tried another fbsd 2.2.6 release 4 cd pack, that was tested and it worked fine on my friends computer. So is the support for Matcd 5.63 and 5.62 somehow broken, and is it already fixed in 2.2.7? I hope you reply to my address too.

First thing, what I noticed right after installing CD-RW, is when system booting, at the time of hardware initialization of the SCSI host, the light on the front panel of CD-RW begans to blink by green and red colors what indicates hardware trouble as it written in manual. This blinking continues until first disk insertion, after that all seems Ok, I can mount inserted disk and read it. But when I do reading of large amount of data, e.g. tar cvf /dev/null /mnt/cdrom2/* then new failure appeared. After some time of reading process I see at the terminal messages like this: mnt/cdrom2/XF8633/X33set.tgz mnt/cdrom2/XF8633/X33SVGA.tgz mnt/cdrom2/XF8633/X33vfb.tgz tar: read error at byte 645632, reading 10240 bytes, in file /mnt/cdrom2/XF8633/ X33vfb.tgz : Input/output error mnt/cdrom2/XF8633/X33VG16.tgz tar: read error at byte 0, reading 6656 bytes, in file /mnt/cdrom2/XF8633/X33VG16.tgz : Input/output error at this time in the system log writtens messages like this: Aug 22 18:56:06 halfwasp /kernel: cd0(aha0:1:0): HARDWARE FAILURE info:0x14a asc:c2,95 Vendor Specific ASC Aug 22 18:56:06 halfwasp /kernel: cd0(aha0:1:0): HARDWARE FAILURE info:0x3d asc:c2,95 Vendor Specific ASC Aug 22 18:56:06 halfwasp /kernel: cd0(aha0:1:0): HARDWARE FAILURE info:0x43 asc:c2,95 Vendor Specific ASC after it drive became unaccessable until next mount.

It uses keymaps. Check this one: http://pages.risq.qc.ca/htran/Xmodmap It's one a friend submitted to me yesterday... I haven't tried it, and I don't know if it's using the alt key... You can load it using: xmodmap Xmodmap ! simple enough? ;) > In that way, you simply hold ALT to use the special characters or > alt-shift if its in upper case. The six button are the six right button > near "enter". The main problem is that I can't do this with X window. It doesn't seem to know ALT! At least, I don't know how to use it... I don't understand the syntax of the modmaps: keycode 32 = o O ocircumflex Ocircumflex keycode: 32 # that's ok I understand = o # ok, o w/o nothing O # ok, shift-o ocircumflex # this I don't know! What modifiers does it use? Ocircumflex # how can I know???? Thanks for any input!

I don't know apache 126, I use 130... But httpd.conf is readed first, and in mine I have 2 directives: AccessConfig and ResourceConfig This is the manual: ------------------------------------------- AccessConfig directive Syntax: AccessConfig filename Default: AccessConfig conf/access.conf Context: server config, virtual host Status: core The server will read this file for more directives after reading the ResourceConfig file. Filename is relative to the ServerRoot. This feature can be disabled using: AccessConfig /dev/null Historically, this file only contained sections; in fact it can now contain any server directive allowed in the server config context. ResourceConfig directive Syntax: ResourceConfig filename Default: ResourceConfig conf/srm.conf Context: server config, virtual host Status: core The server will read this file for more directives after reading the httpd.conf file. Filename is relative to the ServerRoot. This feature can be disabled using: ResourceConfig /dev/null Historically, this file contained most directives except for server configuration directives and sections; in fact it can now contain any server directive allowed in the server config context. See also AccessConfig. ------------------------------------------------------- So I think that all you need to do is to replace whatever ResourceConfig and AccessConfig entries by this: ResourceConfig /dev/null AccessConfig /dev/null It will then read only httpd.conf. But don't forget to: cat access.conf >> httpd.conf cat srm.conf >> httpd.conf !!! Or all that was in the 2 files will not be read!!!

Is this an indication of a hard drive failure? When EIDE disk sectors were broken, these error messages often appear. In this case, your disk sectors must be broken, and your wd driver is mal-functioning. The prescription is already known. In order to handle bad secters, and as you cannot pass fsck, once you should start system in single-user mode (boot(8)) and reboot. Reboot will set clean flag in superblock, so you can mount file system again. Next boot should start at single-user mode, and mount / /usr /var read-only. you should use bad144(8) (scan mode is recomended), or badsect(8) and fsck. At this time, you had better use /usr/sbin/bad144 for scan mode. And reboot the system again. Of course you should read on-line manual very carefully. Now the kernel source code. After rebooting, You have to search /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/wd.c for lines such as, du->dk_timeout = 1 + 3; and increase the value 1 + 3. And compile and install kernel again. In doing so, it would be helpful to install kernel debugger ddb(4) to your kernel. When system hangs while fsck or bad144, you can invoke kernel from system console by typing Cntrl-Alt-Esc. And by this operation, you can avoid further bad blocks. Please see to it that X ignores this keys. And after the seeking sound of disk stops, type "continue", this will make timeouts function forcibly, and several attempts will recover system. If system fails to recover, type "panic" to ddb prompt. This will reboot system rather safely. * Auto reboot for a panic can be installed with ddb. There are several fine idea that the failure of the EIDE disk is caused by the heat or the unstable power supply.

You don't need to reboot the system after such trivial changes. In fact, you almost never need to reboot the system. Toss that Windows idea out the... well, you know. The executables should be in /usr/X11R6/bin. Assorted support files may be in /usr/X11R6/etc or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95 or possibly /usr/local/lib/X11/fvwm95 (depending on how that package was packaged). You'll want to add /usr/X11R6/bin to your search path, if it's not already there. Good luck! Greg -- Gregory S.

Check the cables carefully -- you might try a known good cable, and also check if other SCSI devices will work properly on this adaptor (it looks like a disk is on it, so I assume that's working ok :)). Have you terminated the SCSI bus correctly after adding the CDRW? I use cdrecord on 2.2.6-STABLE with an NCR PCI SCSI adaptor and the Ricoh MP6200S, and it works with no errors, even for disk-sized (650Mb) transfers. When I power up my CDRW led flashes orange, then turns green and stays that way. I also get more probe info from my CDRW than you do: [...] ncr0 rev 18 int a irq 11 on pci0:11:0 ncr0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ncr0:1:0): "RICOH MP6201S 2.03" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ncr0:1:0): CD-ROM cd present [111623 x 2048 byte records] [...] This all points to a hardware problem on your system.

It has larger ramifications than you may be > aware of. Use -CURRENT if you really need long usernames. I don't know why people keep trying to scare users away from this. I have used 16 char usernames in -Stable for a year now, and it works just fine. Here is my standard response, hope it helps. Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** When you don't know where you're going, every road will take you there. - Yiddish Proverb You will need to change a couple files and use "make world" to recompile the system for the larger usernames. Any third party utilities that use usernames like ssh or xterm will also have to be recompiled after the make world is done. In /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h: change MAXLOGNAME to 18 In /usr/src/include/utmp.h: change UT_NAMESIZE to 16 If you need help with the make world, take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html and click on the Upgrading FreeBSD from source (using make world) tutorial. After you're done with this some utilities like adduser will have to be modified by hand to support the long usernames, but we're working on making these fewer and farther between as time goes on. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 22 15:16:29 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA11671 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 22 Aug 1998 15:16:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mailgw00.execpc.com (mailgw00.execpc.com [169.207.1.78]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA11658 for ; Sat, 22 Aug 1998 15:16:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from fpawlak@execpc.com) Received: from darkstar.connect.com (minbar-2-148.mdm.mke.execpc.com [169.207.136.214]) by mailgw00.execpc.com (8.9.0) id RAA19125; Sat, 22 Aug 1998 17:15:43 -0500 (CDT) Received: (from fpawlak@localhost) by darkstar.connect.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id RAA06230; Sat, 22 Aug 1998 17:15:59 -0500 (CDT) From: "Frank Pawlak" Message-Id: <980822221557.ZM6229@darkstar.connect.com> Date: Sat, 22 Aug 1998 22:15:57 +0000 In-Reply-To: Gregory Sutter "Re: Fvwm Manager" (Aug 22, 2:03pm) References: <35DF520F.4D5A@juno.com> <19980822140354.K924@notabene.zer0.org> X-Mailer: Z-Mail (5.0.0 30July97) To: Gregory Sutter , yoonokcha@hotmail.com, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Fvwm Manager MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Aug 22, 2:03pm, Gregory Sutter wrote: > Subject: Re: Fvwm Manager > On Sat, Aug 22, 1998 at 04:19:43PM -0700, country kitten-680 n a nutshell wrote: > > i tried installing the fvwm-95 package off of the 2.2.5 cdrom using > > pkg_add, but after i rebooted the system and tried to run it, i could > > not find any files relating to fvwm-95 on my system.

I'm not sure what's a device or a controller or an interface. Please correct when I've gone wrong. I have a IDE card contains two IDE interfaces (i.e. you can attach two IDE cables to it). One is marked IDE/VLB, the other IDE/ISA. I've been running wd0 and wcd0 using IDE/ISA. I'm trying to add a new disk to this system. I tried adding wdc1 to the kernel, but that just makes things freeze. Then I had a thought: what about making wd1 refer to wdco drive 2? That's compiling now. But in the mean time, can anyone point me in the right direction? Should I be added a new IDE controller or just a disk to my kernel? cheers. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - my [mis]adventures http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 22 16:20:56 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA17308 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 22 Aug 1998 16:20:56 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from phoenix.welearn.com.au (suebla.lnk.telstra.net [139.130.44.81]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id QAA17303 for ; Sat, 22 Aug 1998 16:20:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from sue@phoenix.welearn.com.au) Received: (from sue@localhost) by phoenix.welearn.com.au (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA00478; Sun, 23 Aug 1998 09:20:05 +1000 (EST) Message-ID: <19980823092001.34112@welearn.com.au> Date: Sun, 23 Aug 1998 09:20:01 +1000 From: Sue Blake To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: half-installed package?

Nope, none that's distributed with the system, but I've sen those scripts and they are _ugly_, so I'm glad I have a file to hack instead of one of those silly scripts that don't let you back up. > 2) Where can i find complete kernel configuration ?

Try doing /dev/MAKEDEV apm the 'all' target doesn't build apm. Also, don't get too happy with 'MAKEDEV all', in older versions it would basically kill the system by deleting device nodes for disks you were using.

In 2.2.6 and later, the compatibility partition was removed, so /dev/wd0a no longer works. You must specify slices for the disks, like: /dev/wd0s2a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s2g /usr ufs ro 1 1 /dev/wd0s2f /var ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s2b none swap sw 0 0 You get the idea (substute 2 for the slice your FreeBSD partition is on). This is in the release notes for 2.2.6 and 2.2.7, and would have been fixed by sysinstal if you upgraded that way.

Unix is generally case sensitive. You can always specify a program by path, so if your shell can't find it on it's own you can use the full path like: /usr/home/jwg/raplayer3.0/raplayer welcome.ra or if you are in that directory ./raplayer welcome.ra -- Jason ----------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Godfrey godfreja@acm.cs.uwec.edu FreeBSD - The Power to Serve ---> http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 22 19:43:47 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA07851 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 22 Aug 1998 19:43:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from notabene.zer0.org (sac-port387.jps.net [209.63.247.152]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA07835 for ; Sat, 22 Aug 1998 19:43:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gsutter@n1.dyn.ml.org) Received: (from gsutter@localhost) by notabene.zer0.org (8.8.7/8.8.8) id TAA09137; Sat, 22 Aug 1998 19:42:40 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gsutter) Message-ID: <19980822194239.P924@notabene.zer0.org> Date: Sat, 22 Aug 1998 19:42:39 -0700 From: Gregory Sutter To: Chris Martino , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Networking: Subnets References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93.1i In-Reply-To: ; from Chris Martino on Sat, Aug 22, 1998 at 08:19:39PM -0400 Organization: Zer0 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Sat, Aug 22, 1998 at 08:19:39PM -0400, Chris Martino wrote: > Hi, I just got the okay from my ISP for a 6 host subnet to use for my LAN, > but I seem to be havinging a hard time understanding how to implament it. > > I currently connect using ppp0 on FreeBS.

It will indeed have two IPs, an "inside" IP (on fxp0, only visible to hosts on your localnet) and an "outside" IP on ppp0. In your /etc/rc.conf, set gateway_enable to "YES". Your freebsd box will be the gateway for all the other machines on your localnet. If you have named (DNS) running, make entries for the machines in the localnet. If not, edit /etc/hosts and put in ip addresses, according to the RFC 1918 note in the file, for each machine on your localnet. In your ppp.conf, turn on the aliasing options (man ppp for detail) so that packets will be translated to the correct place: alias enable yes alias deny_incoming no # alias log yes alias same_ports yes alias use_sockets yes alias unregistered_only yes On the other machines in the network, change the default gateway to the (inside) IP address of the router. For FreeBSD machines, it's in /etc/rc.conf: ### Network routing options: ### defaultrouter="10.0.0.1" # Set to default gateway (or NO). For windows machines, it's (I hope) ctrl panel, network, tcp/ip, gateway. Somewhere in there. Then restart the networking on all the machines, gateway first, and you should be in business. I'm writing this from a computer on my local network, connected to a FreeBSD box doing routing for the net via a ppp- connected modem. Works great, except strange packets for my cousins' Battle.net games keep getting killed by my firewall. Gotta fix that. :) A way to determine your IP each time you dialup, if it's dynamic, is netstat -ni | grep tun0 | grep 123.123.123 | awk '{print $4}' substituting, of course, your ISP's IP block for 123.123.123.

Follow the instructions for installing packages to add this package to your system. Well there is no /usr/src/sys directory on my system, but I'll be darn if I can find the right instructions on how to install the package which I need. And which package is it? Can anyone shed some light here? Thanks!

Even followed Manual directions 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 am trying to replace my current SCSI #0 drive with a new one. I used the method as described in the manual, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd2 bs=1k count=1 disklabel -Brw sd1 auto disklabel -e sd2 Created new partitions, in this case, sd2a #root sd2b #swap sd2c #whole disk sd2d #usr sd2e #var and did 'newfs -d0' on /dev/rsd2a /dev/rsd2d /dev/rsd2e then, mount /dev/sd2a /mnt mkdir /mnt/usr mkdir /mnt/var mount /dev/sd2d /mnt/usr mount /dev/sd2e /mnt/var then cd /mnt dump 0f - / | restore rf - cd usr dump 0f - /usr | restore rf - cd ../var dump 0f - /var | restore rf - then, because this will be the NEW primary drive, cd /mnt/etc edit fstab /dev/sd0b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0d /usr ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0e /var ufs rw 1 1 and so on, leaving the other entries as they are, for the cd and second normal hdd. (sd1) then umount /dev/sd2e, sd2d, sd2a shutdown -h now then disable original SCSI hdd, and change NEW hdd's jumpers so it is now SCSI ID#0, and unterminated, because the cable itself is actively terminated with a plugpack, the other end is terminated on the AHA card. So, now everything looks like the original, only bigger. The original is 1.2 GB, this one is 3.2GB. Power up.... nada. The AHA card recoginses the new HDD, and finds both the new drive and the normal second drive. It waits a while, then flicks to the BIOS display, memory and all that, then hangs for a few minutes, then blanks the screen with a message in the top left hand corner, PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT. The system see's the new drive fine as a third drive in the chain, but REFUSES to boot from it. Obviously I'm doing something wrong... but what. One last caveat.. I can't use /stand/sysinstall. This is 2.2-SNAP, and it simply refuses to do anything intelligent. It want to reinstall everything on the primary drive, sets screen colors so the whle thing is unreadable, and is a VERY DANGEROUS utility to use! so I simply wont use it on a live system. I don't use DOS, not will I ever on this system, so I'm trying to set up a dedicated FreeBSD system, using correct partitions. So the question is: How do I make this new drive bootable in a Pentium 200, so I can replace the old drive?

The best thing we have for that is OSS but it costs money ($20, but money). rvplayer is a known goofball, I think it requires OSS or some hackery. check the multimedia mail archives for info.

The media types reported by 'ifconfig -m' are the ones reported by the card itself, so it's saying it doesn't support those speeds (or they're not wrapping on your terminal). For reference this is what my 21140 NIC says: de0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.1.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255 ether 00:c0:f0:16:3f:1d media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP It's possible the 21143 needs some extra massaging.

I'd also set up tcpdump and see where the ICMP No Route To Host message is coming from. Your router may be dropping such a message to shut up the sender. I'm not sure 12k packets are kosher -- they're going to fragment _badly_ since Ethernet can only send 1500 bytes at once.

Copy the installation files to the WIndows partition as directed in the instruction booklet then do a DOS install to copy the files from that partition.

My rc.conf file looks like this.. ############################################################## ### Miscellaneous administrative options ################### ############################################################## cron_enable="YES" # Run the periodic job daemon. lpd_enable="NO" # Run the line printer daemon. lpd_flags="" # Flags to lpd (if enabled). yet on reboot, lpd is running. I've checked rc.local, in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and it's not there either. The machine this is happening on was attacked by the qpopper exploit before I patched it, and it seems to have started around that time. In the meantime, qpopper's been upgraded and I'm using tcp wrappers and ipfw to keep out attackers, so there's no one else starting the process. If I manually kill it, it seems to be fine, but I'd still like to know why it's starting. Another thing I've noticed is that if I'm telnetted into the box from somewhere else, and I get disconnected or my connection drops the user stays logged in even though I try to kill the process. Nothing shows when doing ps aux | grep user for the user who's supposedly still logged in. Looking at the processes however shows telnetd still running for that user and killing it doesn't log the user out either. Any help or explanation would be appreciated. Thanks.

And I installed it. And it was Good. I got the Asus P5A, a 128MB 8-ns PC100 compliant DIMM (made by either TI or Micronics), Matrox G200 8MB AGP, Intel 10/100B, WD 8.4GB IDE, and a Teac 32X IDE CDROM. I took the K6-200 from my old system (now running at 100MHz bus X 2 multiplier) as well as the Adaptec 2940UW, the SB AWE64 Value PnP, the IDE ZIP drive, the Fujitsu 640MB MO drive (although I never tried using it in FreeBSD), and the Voodoo2 12MB. It's all working like a charm. I installed 2.2.7-R over ethernet from my internet gateway machine (I had already downloaded 2.2.7-R to it earlier). Everything installed without a hitch. The apm sleep command (zzz) works great (i used it to let the KDE port compile overnight) and my system actually wakes up properly (can't say the same for Win95). My only problem is that my G200 isn't supported yet, so I'm running XFree86 with KDE in 16 colors...

I have to install FreeBSD on 4 similar machines which will be geographically distributed (we are a startup and we don't have an office yet). I am trying to do a least-work, minimal-regret installation. So I am using the `novice' option, with the `install everything' choice. The `novice' choice of disk partitions seems perfectly reasonable as far as I can tell. Two things are bugging me a little, though. 1. This is not really freebsd's fault, but the `fake' disk geometry (555 cylinders x 256 heads x 63 sectors) don't add up to the advertised disk capacity, wasting about 0.1% of the disk. OK: so that's about 50 cents, he, he, fine. However, I am now wondering if the choice of geometry has any impact on performance. Is the filesystem code still making assumptions similar to 4.2 BSD? 2. The installation becomes dreadfully slow when it comes to the port collection. In other parts of the installation, the advertised transfer rate is between 100 and 1000+ KB/sec, but for the ports it slows down to 7 or 8 KB/sec. What is it doing? Is it because there are lots of small files? If so, should not they be installed as an archive? It seems too slow anyhow.
