Look more closely at your dmesg output. Here's a snippet from my dmesg. Not that ahc0 and ahc1 both have a target 4.

I'm trying to get Xwindows to tame my VGA setup without much luck. The setup is Cirrus Logic CL-GD5480 card (4Meg) and a 21 inch IBM 9504 Black and White VGA monitor. Funny enough the card is listed in the XF86config, and I pulled horizontal and vertical refresh rates for the monitor from the IBM website. When I run startx the screen flickers and is unreadable, going through resolutions with Ctl-Alt-+ simply shows different flicker type. If you have a similar setup and got it to work or (unlike me) you know what's going on please lemme know. Thanks Rudy. P.S. I'm not on -questions, so please cc me on the replies. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

This one is really easy to solve. Take a very big stick and walk to the offending machine. Confront the user and say: "Next time you use that address, I am going to come back here with this stick and smash that machine to pieces. And if there's another next time after that, I am going to come back here with my stick and kill you." Then walk away quietly. There are other methods, but they all lack the fundamental appeal of this technique. -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 28 3:10: 9 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from alpha.comkey.com.au (alpha.comkey.com.au [203.9.152.215]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id A8CC015210 for ; Sun, 28 Feb 1999 03:09:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gjb@comkey.com.au) Received: (qmail 7690 invoked by uid 1001); 28 Feb 1999 11:02:15 -0000 Message-ID: <19990228110215.7689.qmail@alpha.comkey.com.au> X-Posted-By: GBA-Post 1.04 06-Feb-1999 X-PGP-Fingerprint: 5A91 6942 8CEA 9DAB B95B C249 1CE1 493B 2B5A CE30 Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 21:02:15 +1000 From: Greg Black To: Paul Dekkers Cc: FreeBSD Mailinglist Subject: Re: More than 16 logins and more than one login for a user?

Please read the regular article about how to ask questions and then think a bit more about this. What did you do? Where did you look for guidance? What did you expect? Here are some suggestions. First read the man page. The way I read it, it rather looks as though the sessionlimit parameter would only be considered if system accounting was turned on. So, is it turned on? (I'm not going to check this, because I never use system accounting and I couldn't care less about the sessionlimit thing.) The next obvious thing to do, if you really believe that you have done what the manual suggests, is to UTSL. One of the great benefits of having complete source code is that one can read it. Have a look and see whether there is any code in there to recognize and enforce the parameters of interest. One thing I'll tell you for free is that the file /etc/login.conf does get accessed on each login, even if it seems to be ignored ... -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 28 3:10:13 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from alpha.comkey.com.au (alpha.comkey.com.au [203.9.152.215]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 95D6515217 for ; Sun, 28 Feb 1999 03:09:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gjb@comkey.com.au) Received: (qmail 7184 invoked by uid 1001); 28 Feb 1999 08:54:25 -0000 Message-ID: <19990228085425.7183.qmail@alpha.comkey.com.au> X-Posted-By: GBA-Post 1.04 06-Feb-1999 X-PGP-Fingerprint: 5A91 6942 8CEA 9DAB B95B C249 1CE1 493B 2B5A CE30 Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 18:54:24 +1000 From: Greg Black To: Brendan Kosowski Cc: Patrick Seal , FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: grep question References: In-reply-to: of Sat, 27 Feb 1999 19:09:11 +1100 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > > Holy bejebees bat# man grep > Your manual is obviously better than mine. No, but he did tell you the wrong manual. The manual of interest is the manual for whatever shell you are using. Unix commands (on all flavours of Unix) don't get to see the command lines that you type -- they see whatever the shell gives them and you have to know what your shell does with what you type. The usual way to find this out is with the echo command. > "FreeBSD isn't evil, they just make > really crappy manuals." This is a very poorly-informed comment.

While this is true in some ways, it's not the whole truth. To be useful, a video card should provide graphics and the FreeBSD solution to that is Xfree86 -- and there are plenty of current video cards that are NOT supported by Xfree86, as my recent experiences with some of them attests. Even chipsets that are claimed to be supported are often not well supported or not even recognised in their latest versions. That's not any kind of criticism of Xfree86, since it would be a huge job to keep up with the flood of rubbish that comes out in this domain. But it is wise to check their site to see if the particular card and model is on the list and to read all the doco about cards you plan to look at. There are also plenty of good recommendations for various types of cards in the archives of this list. It's worth checking there, but not too far back (as cards tend to disappear quickly). -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 28 3:13:56 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mcfs.whowhere.com (mcfs.whowhere.com [209.1.236.44]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 2C523151F5 for ; Sun, 28 Feb 1999 03:13:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from uvatha@my-dejanews.com) Received: from Unknown/Local ([?.?.?.?]) by my-dejanews.com; Sun Feb 28 03:13:33 1999 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 11:13:33 -0000 From: "+ +" Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Cc: X-Sent-Mail: off Reply-To: X-Expiredinmiddle: true X-Mailer: MailCity Service Subject: natd locks up?

Simply put, natd doesn't even get far enough to start listening on its assigned port (8668 in my stock 2.2.7 setup, as defined in /etc/services). After executing natd (usually in the form of natd -u -n fxp0, although I've also through -p 8668 in there for kicks), netstat -a doesn't show natd or port 8668 anywhere! (the output is indentical to the output prior to running natd, as confirmed by diff). Stranger still, natd seems to be locked up pretty hard - the only way to get rid of it is kill -9 (regular kill has no effect). /var/log/alias.log is always empty, and using -v for natd never prints any text to the console whatsoever. In short, it seems that natd seems to be locking up hard, early in the program.

It seems that your a.out applications are still using /usr/lib for their libraries, instead of /usr/lib/aout, which indicates that ldconfig isn't being run properly in /etc/rc.

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 was wondering if there was any way to mount a CD-RW and write files to it on the fly (as well as the ability to read off it), similar to Adaptec's software to do the same. I know you can mkisofs a image, and then write it to the disk, but it would be nice to do it on the fly and not need to mkisofs it. Also, does anyone know how to create multi-session CD-ROM's ? I'd imagine it's something like mkisofs'ing the original, cdrecording that with -multi, and then mkisofs'ing the new information and cdrecording that. The last session should not have -multi. I have tried this, but it only appears to make the last session viewable. Does anyone have any suggestions ? I'm using cdrecord 1.6.1, and mkisofs 1.12b4 TIA. --- Khetan Gajjar (!kg1779) * khetan@os.org.za http://www.os.org.za/~khetan * Talk/Finger khetan@chain.freebsd.os.org.za FreeBSD enthusiast * http://www2.za.freebsd.org/ Security-wise, NT is a OS with a "kick me" sign taped to it To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 28 8:24:14 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from scientia.demon.co.uk (scientia.demon.co.uk [212.228.14.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 994F015249 for ; Sun, 28 Feb 1999 08:24:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ben@scientia.demon.co.uk) Received: from scientia.demon.co.uk (ident=ben) by scientia.demon.co.uk with local (Exim 2.12 #12) id 10H81i-0000io-00; Sun, 28 Feb 1999 15:21:06 +0000 (envelope-from ben@scientia.demon.co.uk) Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 15:21:05 +0000 From: Ben Smithurst To: George Vagner Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: cvsup tags for latest stable Message-ID: <19990228152105.A2752@scientia.demon.co.uk> References: <36D8C83B.50FC7DAE@cybertrails.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.3i In-Reply-To: <36D8C83B.50FC7DAE@cybertrails.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG George Vagner wrote: > I am using 2.2.8-stable and would like to > upgrade to the newest -stable (3.1-stable?) > > can someone send me the necessary tags for my cvsup file?

That fixed the error messages which were also appearing during the boot process. And I can now login at the console in other than single user mode. That should go a long way to getting the box up and running . I don't know why /etc/rc was not overwritten. I had done a "cp -Rp /var/tmp/root/etc /etc/rc" as part of the reconciliation between the old and new. (see http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make- world/make-world.html) for details.

If the LINT file, for whatever version you are using, has ppbus in it then that version supports parellel port zip drives. ppbus is now enabled by default as part of the GENERIC kernel in 3.1 -STABLE.

There are times when you want the system to go down in a nice manner. When you fill the entire disk, it can be rather abrupt. I missed a digit one time and tried to edit a 50MB file with vi on our Cray. I filled what ever space vi used for tmp and the system stopped. Nothing that required tmp would run but they could still go in and rm my tmp files. Then they came down and asked me what I was doing and that was when I discovered the file was 10 times larger than I thought. There were 150 people that couldm't work because of me. If there are only a couple of people, I don't think it matters as long as you know what happens when you fill the drive and how to fix it. The plus, of course, is that you use the entire disk and not a preconceived notion of what your needs are. I find that sooner or later I push the size of a filesystem and all of the normal filesystems except swp (300MB) and proc are part of /. My user filesystem's /usr1 and /usr2 are all on separate 2.5-3.1GB drives. On of my projects fills the 1.25GB /usr1 slice and that was before anyone has started running the program and leaving run output files for analysis behind. -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA mailto:kstewart@3-cities.com http://www.3-cities.com/~kstewart/index.html Hunting Archibald Stewart, b 1802 in Ballymena, Antrim Co., NIR http://www.3-cities.com/~kstewart/genealogy/archibald_stewart.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 28 13:16: 7 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mcfs.whowhere.com (mcfs.whowhere.com [209.1.236.44]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id DB604152D9 for ; Sun, 28 Feb 1999 13:15:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from uvatha@my-dejanews.com) Received: from Unknown/Local ([?.?.?.?]) by my-dejanews.com; Sun Feb 28 13:15:20 1999 To: "Guy Helmer" Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 21:15:20 -0000 From: "+ +" Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Sent-Mail: off Reply-To: X-Mailer: MailCity Service Subject: Re: natd locks up?

I'm running the stock 2.2.7 kernel, no sources are installed on my system (the hard drive is too small). How can I check the options the kernel was compiled with? Secondly, I did think of that, but all of the relevant stuff in the handbook about setting up a firewall seemed to assume that those options were compiled in by default in the generic kernel. It seemed that this was confirmed by the fact that ipfw rules work just fine (I've played around with allowing and denying different hosts quite a bit), and it *appears* that the divert rules work fine as well, at least according to the accounting information displayed by "ipfw show".

BootEasy is not the problem; the old (pre-3.1R) boot blocks are. The new boot blocks actually do allow you to specify a slice in response to the "boot:" prompt, for example wd(0,2,a)/kernel though this is not very explicitly documented anywhere. However, for 3.1R (and -stable and -current) systems, the new /boot/loader is the recommended way to boot the system (and you can specify slices, though using a different syntax, at the loader prompt as well). > I would like to clobber my Win98 slice with 3.1 to give it a try.

With the new boot code, this works fine. The boot manager (BootEasy, or the new boot0 workalike) will set the selected FreeBSD slice active; the new boot blocks will use the active slice in preference to the first FreeBSD slice; and /boot/loader will be loaded, and will itself load the kernel. So you can just press F1 .. F4 to boot up to four versions of FreeBSD from the same disk. (You can use the new boot code to boot 2.x systems.) > If it can't, what are some work arounds?

And the problem has nothing to do with whether you have one or several file systems. Ben is right: on such a tiny disk, you shouldn't have more than one file system. A 4 MB /var is just asking for trouble. On the other hand, 20 MB of swap isn't much, and all UNIX systems have problems when you run out of swap. It depends on what you're doing, but you could easily fill it up. You will need to keep a careful eye on swap usage (pstat -s).

This certainly seems to stem from the compat22 difficulties as now whenever I go try to install X from sysinstall, it just downloads compat22 then quits out.

I don't think you really want to install everything that's on the CDs. FreeBSD has two parts: one part is the BSD operating system, and the other part is the ports collection, a number of application programs to be installed in /usr/local. You almost certainly don't want to install all ports, there are just too many of them and a lot of them do the same thing. For example, there are a lot of text editors available, and while you might conceivably have two or three of them installed, you surely don't want all of them (FreeBSD has a dozen or so). Apparently, the system seems to need about 400M, including X11R6. I've got another 300M of additional application programs in /usr/local. kai -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music.

Many daemons do useful things when sent a HUP signal, but suppose the process has disappeared for some reason? I was bitten by this when playing around with my isdnd configuration. I was almost happy when I discovered that isdnd will reread its config file when sent a SIGHUP, but then I made a little typo in isdnd.rc and the SIGHUP made isdnd disappear :-( There seems to be no simple way to start isdnd with the right parameters once it has disappeared.

What are the symptoms? What version of >FreeBSD? Please describe what you observe. Version: FreeBSD 2.2.8. Using a DEC203 (Etherworks3) card. (le0 device). Running on a VESA bus 486 with 32M of ram and scsi disks. The network card is ISA. I configured FreeBSD to have 2 NICs. One to the Internet and one to my private (non-registered ip) with ip forwarding turned off. I also ensure that only TCP/IP was running on the Windows Machines.(i.e. no windows networking). The TCP/IP communications stops working at about 5 minutes every time after the FreeBSD machine is booted and rebooted. If I try to ftp or ping the FreeBSD box from WindowsNT or Window98 ping fails (times out) and ftp fails. From the FreeBSD side if I start pinging the Windows machine and let it continue right after I reboot, ping is okay at first but within 5 minutes the pinging will fail and a message will say something to the effect that "There is no buffer space available" everytime it tries to ping. If I start pinging after a period after reboot when I know the TCP/IP is down ping will tell me that there is a timeout. I am pretty sure the problem is on FreeBSD for the following reasons, if I try WindowsNT or Windows95, I have the problem. Using the same network card with Linux as the server rather that FreeBSD, I have no problem. If I swap the DEC 203 with another DEC 203 on FreeBSD, I still get the problem. But now I have swapped out the DEC and replaced it with a SMC adapter (ed0) and I have no problems. This doesn't solve the problem. It just avoids it. I wish I know enough about FreeBSD to poke around an figure out what is going on. When the TCP/IP droped I did netstat -r to check if the problem was not a routing problem, but netstat -r told me everything was okay. ie. My defaultroute and the gateway to my LAN was listed in the table. I also tried disabling routing and gateway on FreeBSD to isolate the problem. And also I made sure I did not have default route on Windows setup which is other than FreeBSD. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Lehey To: Edward Ing ; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Sunday, February 28, 1999 5:44 PM Subject: Re: TCP/IP on LAN drops after a few minutes. >On Monday, 15 March 1999 at 9:17:18 -0500, Edward Ing wrote: >> I have a ethernet lan network with a FreeBSD machine and a dual boot >> window98/windowsNT workstation machine.

Yes. The file systems are very similar (I believe that Solaris 2 offers UFS, but I think they also have some other file system which is compatible at a user level), but they're not the same. Configuration can be quite different, depending on what you mean. Some things are similar, others are unrecognizably different. > I want to go for Solaris Certification but I don't have the OS to do > hands on training on.

Don't do it this way. You want to invoke xdm from /etc/rc.local. There is a FAQ entry for this, I believe the question is 'How do I run xdm from /etc/ttys?' or something along those lines in the X section.

You would need to either check the config file (/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC, if you had kernel sources installed) or lookup the file in CVS on the web: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC?rev=1.77.2.25 The options IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT are not used in the GENERIC configuration, so your ip firewall support is probably being loaded via the ipfw lkm. Looking at the Makefile for the ipfw LKM module, IPDIVERT isn't defined, so you'll apparently need to unpack the kernel sources, configure, and build your own kernel with the options IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT to get natd working. > Secondly, I did think of that, but all of the relevant stuff in the > handbook about setting up a firewall seemed to assume that those > options were compiled in by default in the generic kernel.
