Within a few minutes of this posting I started reading thru my "-Current" mailing list, and saw a similar question posted there (regarding -Current, not -Stable). What I did a few weeks ago on my "source code" machine was to set NOPROFILE=true as recommended in one of the on-line FreeBSD tutorials. I understand what this does, and what 'profiling libraries' are. However I did not set that also on my 'non-source' machine. This problem, and solution were discussed on the -Current Mailing List. I changed my (non-source)/etc/make.conf to read NOPROFILE=true and it my 'make installworld' is running fine right now. I should have thought more about the name 'libalias_p.a' (_p as in 'profiling'), and may have remembered the 'NOPROFILE' change that I made earlier to the 'source machine'. I regret any inconvenience that my question has caused. I appreciate the excellent quality of FreeBSD, and the friendly cooperative spirit of many FreeBSDers. I hope to contribute to the FreeBSD effort in the future.

The default timecounter code in current can detect when the assumptions it's making about the progression of time are faulty, but Poul didn't want to make the compensation for this (which it can also make) either the default or automatic.

Hello, Mike, About a month ago you wrote the above mentioned message. I could not get it loading from the second slice of the same disk in the configuration where two different versions of FreeBSD reside on one hard drive on different slices. I think I might be missing something. Let me also ask you what you meant by talking about having the bootstrap "on both slices". Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that the bootstrap is installed on a disk, and not per slice. Another question - how do you specify in the /etc/boot.config - which slice to boot up from ?

Let's put it this way. Their version of xntpd is much better supported than ours is. :) ntpd-4.0.91 appears > sufficiently stable that they're going to make it into ntpd-4.1 and an > official 'release' pretty soon. Well it's too late to do anything with 2.2-Stable. Therefore contrib'ifying the release of ntpd for 3.something would be the way to go at this point.

Then I installed 2.2.8 also on /dev/wd0s2 (because I encountered a lot of "cannot make makefiles errors" while compiline ports which use imake, like xv and xpaint, installing 2.2.8 solves this problem, anyone?) For default loading the kernel from the 2.2.8 partition I specified in /boot/boot.conf on the 3.0 partition this: set rootdev=disk2s2a: set currdev=disk2s2a: Maybe you have another disk number, but check this maualy by breaking the boot process, the prompt shows the current disk number.

The error is somewhere in pw(8) - from a quick point of view it seems as if pw will assume that a user with a loginname starting with a digit has that UID, so in your case pw (which is called by sysinstall) found that the user you specified already existed and had the the UID 2. This clearly is a bug, you might file a PR on this topic. I'll have a closer look at pw tomorrow (unless I see somebody having fixed it by then). -- bye, logix Sleep is an abstinence syndrome wich occurs due to lack of caffein.

Krentel" Message-Id: <199901140702.CAA00951@dreamscape.com> To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: scsiformat timeout Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm having a problem with scsiformat in 2.2.8-release. /sbin/scsiformat is an sh script that issues the command: scsi -s 28800 -f $RAW -c "4 0 0 0 0 0" where $RAW is something like /dev/rsd1.ctl. The problem seems to be that 28800 seconds (8 hours) is too long. Between 2.2.7 and 2.2.8, this number was bumped up from 14400 in response to PR 7803 which complained that 14400 was too small and cited an example disk that takes >4 hours to format. Anyway, when I run scsiformat on a zip100 disk (scsi drive), the command returns immediately with this message: # scsiformat -q -w sd1 IOMEGA ZIP 100 E.11 This will destroy all data on this drive! Hit return to continue, or INTR (^C) to abort: Formatting... this may take a while. SCIOCCOMMAND ioctl: Command accepted. return status 1 (Command Timeout) after 28800000 msCommand out (6 of 6): 04 00 00 00 00 00 No sense sent. # And this appears on the console (when I get out of X windows): sd1(ahc0:3:0): SCB 0x0 - timed out in command phase, SCSISIGI == 0x84 SEQADDR = 0x48 SCSISEQ = 0x12 SSTAT0 = 0x7 SSTAT1 = 0x2 sd1(ahc0:3:0): abort message in message buffer sd1(ahc0:3:0): SCB 0 - Abort completed sd1(ahc0:3:0): no longer in timeout I tried running scsi directly and fiddled with the -s (timeout) parameter. Turns out that any number greater than 22000 produces the above error and anything smaller than 21000 works fine (takes about 9 min to format). Now, this is no tragedy because I can always run scsi directly or edit the scsiformat script on my system. But I am wondering just what is the problem. Is 28800 really too large, or does it work on some systems? Does this vary by controller or disk? Don't blame the zip disk; I get the same error with my old Seagate ST31200N (1 gig, from June 94). I have a PPro 166, ASUS 440FX mobo and Adaptec 2940-UW controller (about 2 years old).

Hrm. Maybe they're confused. I believe Intel has drivers for the EtherExpress Pro 100 series that support EtherChannel, but I don't know of native FreeBSD support. > The Cisco website above only mentions Phobos and FreeBSD, but the Phobos > website just says 'email for other operating systems'.

I haven't seen anything recently from Phobos; I'd hope that Kevin Van Maren can comment more on this. Certainly I understood that Phobos intended their Phobos Link code to run on FreeBSD.

I've looked into the problem on and off, but didn't really understand what was going on. Since I didn't see anything in the mail archives on this problem, I figured I had configured something incorrectly. Finally, I got desperate and did a new installed 2.2.8-STABLE from the CDs. The telnet problem was still there, so I dug into it. I guessed that my /etc/issue file was too long and experimented with a test file. I found that the /etc/issue file must contain no more than 1011 bytes for telnetd to work. telnetd sort of works when /etc/issue contains 1012 bytes but generates alot of ptyflush char errors. If the /etc/issue files contains more than 1012 bytes, telnetd kicks out just before giving a login prompt. I briefly looked at the source for telnetd, but didn't see anything obvious. This problem does not exist in 3.0-RELEASE, and I haven't done a diff between telnetd.c in 2.2.8 and 3.0 to see what is different in handling the if capability. But having gotten this far, I thought I'd inform the list.

The manual page for setpgid(2) is wrong. It claims the target process must either be a child of the invoker OR have the same effective user-id. That is wrong. If the target is not a child of the process, setpgid(2) will return ESRCH (see kern_prot.c). I believe the manual is correct and the kernel code is wrong. Frequently in industrial situations, an "area controller" process on a particular CPU will spawn a number of sub-processes that perform various tasks such as control special devices. One of the tasks of the "area controller" is to reap its children and re-spawn them should they unexpectedly abort. So far no problem. However, in a situation where the "area controller" aborts and is restarted (usually manually), it may want to reclaim its original children to the process group so it can once again reap the SIGCHLD signals. To do so it must insert the children into its new process group via setpgrp. No can do. Comments? - Kent Harris --- Kent S.

According to the manpage and Stevens's UNP 2nd Ed., connect() should return EINPROGRESS if the connection isn't able to be established immediately. -stable returns EAGAIN instead. EAGAIN appears to be an invalid return value for connect(). This problem doesn't appear to exist under -current. Is this the sort of thing that is likely to get fixed in the 2.2.x branch at this point, or is this too insignificant to fix now?

The 2.2.x branch is escentially dead. I suppose someone might commit a security fix of some sort, but no further releases will be made from it. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-stable Sat Jan 16 23:44:09 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA14659 for freebsd-stable-outgoing; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 23:44:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from freeway.dcfinc.com (cx74889-a.phnx3.az.home.com [24.1.193.157]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA14654 for ; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 23:44:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from chad@freeway.dcfinc.com) Received: (from chad@localhost) by freeway.dcfinc.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA01343 for stable@freebsd.org; Sun, 17 Jan 1999 00:44:05 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from chad) From: "Chad R.

I set out to do the same thing for the version of GDB (4.16) that is part of FreeBSD. This is on a 2.2.8-Stable system. I successfully built TeX and MetaFont. I built dvips. I built Ghostscript and integrated it with my printer spooler. I generated "refcard.ps" from the distributed "refcard.dvi" and printed it. So, emboldened, I went to /usr/src/contrib/gdb/gdb/doc to try to make the manual. However, it was clear from the existance of "Makefile.in" and "configure.in" without their matching files that "configure" had not been run for this build. Apparently not necessary for a "make world". However, a "./configure" from /usr/src/contrib/gdb fails. First being unable to locate a "install-sh". If I copy one of those into its path from some other GNU directory it then fails with a missing "config.sub" file. Should the -stable tree be able to build GNU documentation from any of the subdirectories? What steps should I take to generate a current GDB manual? -crl -- Chad R.
