I have it split in half, the first 2G to WinDoze and second to 2G to FreeBSD. I'm trying to install the Aug 4 3.0 snapshot and FDISK, during the install, reports 993 cyl, 128 track, 63 head, for the disk, so it's all <1024, but the labeler won't let me put a root filesystem in it. The disk itself does say 7944/16/63, but even so I understand there's a utility that allows booting to dos then loading freebsd from there. It's hard to do if the installer won't install though. The FAQ and Handbook don't say very much about this... Suggestions? I *really* don't want to put a dinky partition at the beginning, aside from not liking dinky partitions, I don't want to have to reinstall WinDoze yet again (and until FreeBSD can run all WinDoze apps, it's got to be there). -- Alan Batie ______ www.rdrop.com/users/batie Me batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / www.qrd.org The Triangle PGPFP DE 3C 29 17 C0 49 7A \ / www.pgpi.com The Weird Numbers 27 40 A5 3C 37 4A DA 52 B9 \/ www.anti-spam.net NO SPAM! --Q68bSM7Ycu6FN28Q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNc1nG4v4wNua7QglAQEJogP/YvxaXoUmDb7xD8KZB/cmBuGaPeFXRMMG NNTMzYivzScku18WyWee5e0IO1dyNps6bt/IstSO9rpmzafG3gwcDKoe2GuZ9+6s s05XrQ6qcLm+HWDmeiOgaFA5tLbLiah70VSWRc9fv3jM66vRIW5PT4IE9WJQspU6 /Y8UrecVG/g= =tFyQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Q68bSM7Ycu6FN28Q-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 9 02:20:57 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA28568 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 02:20:57 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from pat.uio.no (pat.uio.no [129.240.130.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id CAA28563 for ; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 02:20:56 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from anders.odberg@usit.uio.no) Received: from troll.uio.no (actually troll.uio.no [129.240.186.19]) by pat.uio.no with SMTP (PP); Sun, 9 Aug 1998 11:20:34 +0200 Received: from odberg by troll.uio.no with local (Exim 2.00 #1) id 0z5ReT-0000Sa-00; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 11:20:33 +0200 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: anders.odberg@usit.uio.no Subject: scsi errors and crash MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Anders Odberg Date: 09 Aug 1998 11:20:32 +0200 Message-ID: Lines: 69 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, My newsfeeding-box (running FreeBSD-2.2.6) keeps crashing once or twice a month with these messages : Aug 5 15:43:33 feedme /kernel: sd1(ahc1:2:0): SCB 0x1 - timed out in dataout phase, SCSISIGI == 0x4 Aug 5 15:43:33 feedme /kernel: sd1(ahc1:2:0): SCB 0x1 - timed out in dataout phase, SCSISIGI == 0x4 Aug 5 15:43:33 feedme /kernel: SEQADDR = 0x121 SCSISEQ = 0x12 SSTAT0 = 0x0 SSTAT1 = 0x2 Aug 5 15:43:33 feedme /kernel: SEQADDR = 0x121 SCSISEQ = 0x12 SSTAT0 = 0x0 SSTAT1 = 0x2 Aug 5 15:43:33 feedme /kernel: sd1(ahc1:2:0): abort message in message buffer Aug 5 15:43:33 feedme /kernel: sd1(ahc1:2:0): abort message in message buffer Aug 5 15:43:34 feedme /kernel: sd1(ahc1:2:0): SCB 0x0 timedout while recovery in progress Aug 5 15:43:34 feedme /kernel: sd1(ahc1:2:0): SCB 0x0 timedout while recovery in progress Aug 5 15:43:35 feedme /kernel: Unexpected busfree.

Here's a bunch of questions about my mail and how I'd like to receive it. I have a permanent connection to my ISP via ADSL. At present, all mail for my domains is delivered direct to my ISP. I then download it with an email client. One problem I have with my email is spam to old addresses which I no longer use but are part of my domain (eg. xyz@mydomain.com). I have two domains. The mail for one (dvl.co.nz) gets sent to one of my ISPs. My other domain (dvl-software.com) is a virtual domain handled by my web site host. Mail sent to that domain is controlled by a .redirect file on my virtual machine at that host (I don't fully understand how it works; I just know how to add entries to the .redirect file to forward mail from spot to spot). What I would like to do is exercise more control over the current situation. Specifically, I'd like mail sent to dan@dvl.co.nz to be bounced back to the sender, never to be seen my me again. Similary, mail to dan.langille@dvl-software.com, I'd like to let through. I've read the stuff in the handbook (17.3.3. How can I do E-Mail with a dialup PPP host? http://www.au.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/handbook/handbook253.html#497) and that solution seems to apply to me. That is, make my ISP a secondary server to myself. Does this make sense? Sendmail is up and running on my machine. Mail sent to my freebsd box gets out into the realworld. I'm guessing that what I need to do is install procmail, which is a local mail delivery agent. Is that correct? How does procmail (incoming?) differ from sendmail (outgoing)? -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd : my [mis]adventures To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 9 06:24:14 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA18152 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 06:24:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from lucy.bedford.net (lucy.bedford.net [206.99.145.54]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA18147 for ; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 06:24:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from listread@lucy.bedford.net) Received: (from listread@localhost) by lucy.bedford.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA04256; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 09:00:53 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from listread) Message-Id: <199808091300.JAA04256@lucy.bedford.net> Subject: Re: help in convincing management not to supplant Unix with NT In-Reply-To: <199808090309.WAA00774@gforce.bellsouth.net> from Glenn Johnson at "Aug 8, 98 10:09:37 pm" To: gljohns@bellsouth.net (Glenn Johnson) Date: Sun, 9 Aug 1998 09:00:53 -0400 (EDT) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-no-archive: yes Reply-to: djv@bedford.net From: CyberPeasant X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL38 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Glenn Johnson wrote: > Greetings, > > > At my place of employment, the management team, who are basically computer > illiterate, have decided that there should be no Unix machines providing > network or Internet services, only NT machines.

Hotmail runs Unix. (Solaris, I think). They tried NT. No soap. Microsoft uses 40 NT servers to handle the FTP load handled by a single-CPU machine at www.cdrom.com (aka ftp.freebsd.org) running FreeBSD. > All pointers and moral support are greatly appreciated. Thanks. > Sometimes a sheaf of letters of resignation from all the clued tech staff helps. (seriously). Now is a good time to change jobs. One of the reasons that NT is used to replace Unix is because pointed-headed managers think they will be cheaper to manage. They intend to fire all the Unix people, and hire "certified droids". They have been assured by M$ marketers that it will be cheaper to run NT. *sigh* the managers secretly believe that the new pimple-faced NT dweebs will be more docile and easily controlled. This is correct. Challenge them to provide a /single/ technical reason to run NT on a server. This won't work though, they already have the evidence. Evidence doesn't matter to these types. They have a "vision". Pfui. Good luck -- post the results! Dave -- Bedford County, PA -- 47,000 polite, friendly Appalachians, 4,000 of whom have concealed-carry permits.

Quotas for user darkness: /home: blocks in use: 11498, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0) inodes in use: 3, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0) Does the above mean for just /home or for /home/darkness?? thanks for your help, Lanny ----- ----- \ / \ / \ / /------\ Pure BEEF / \ | 0 0 | is \ / \ / DELICIOUS \ / \ / OO ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Lanny Baron Date: 09-Aug-98 Time: 12:01:41 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 9 09:17:46 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA29188 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 09:17:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from clubserv.rp-online.de (clubserv.rp-online.de [149.221.232.11]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA29181 for ; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 09:17:42 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from veith@bigfoot.com) Received: from bigfoot.com (as7-pri60.rp-plus.de [149.221.239.60]) by clubserv.rp-online.de (8.9.0.Beta5/8.9.0.Beta5) with ESMTP id SAA17612 for ; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 18:18:26 +0200 (METDST) Message-ID: <35CDCBD3.D558CE9D@bigfoot.com> Date: Sun, 09 Aug 1998 18:18:27 +0200 From: Stefan Veith Organization: --- X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Problems compiling KDE-1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello!

Most things are moving along smoothly, but it seems that the two environments differ in their assignment of userids and groupids. The userids for bsdos tend to start at 100 for ordinary users; for freebds they start at 1000. I like the 1000 starting point better, in fact, but there is still the problem of globally changing all of the userids on every file on every system. Also, what about backups? I use mostly tar, some dumps: is there any known way of supplying a reassignment table which can be used to "map" old userids to new ones as part of the restore process? The problem with groupids is more complicated. The groupids for ordinary users have the same difference of starting at 100 for bsdos and at 1000 for freebsd, but there is another difference as well: under bsdos, ordinary users are generally assigned to one a a small number of groups ("user", "staff", and so on) while under freebsd, each user is assigned a unique groupid, generally the same as the userid, and each shared project or other shared domain is assigned a pseudo-userid. Under the bsdos system, then, most users' files tend to have the same groupid, so group write permission is usually off. However, since under the freebsd system, each user's files have a unique groupid, group write permission tends to be on. Before I came to bsdos I had used a system similar to the freebsd one, so I have no problem moving back to it, but not only do all of the groupids have to be reassigned, but also the permissions have to be altered for certain userid.groupid pairs. Finally, since the userids and groupids are independent under bsdos, when files need to be shared, you just have to create a new group which includes all of the users who need to work on them, and make the directory containing the shared files owned by that group, with group write permission turned on. Under freebsd, you create a new userid.groupid entity with no login permissions, add the members of the team to the group, and have the directories owned either by the project's userid.groupid or by one of the members, with the project's groupid. Therefore, in any set of files that need to be brought into freebsd from bsdos, there will need to be a set of conditional changes of userid, groupid, and group permissions. I have done this kind of thing in the past using kludges of one sort or another, including a hack which I no longer can even find that filtered a tar format data stream to change userids and groupids on an archive before it got to tar. I don't think the old program would work even if I had it, because it only used Version 7 format tar files--an up-to-date program would need to know several other formats. Another method I've used is find scripts, but these are very dangerous if the set of "from" userid/groupid/permissions overlaps with the "to" values: what do you do if the process is interrupted before it is completed in this case? It seems to me that the best way to do this kind of thing would be to hack tar itself to consult a mapping table immediately before it sets each file's ownership and modes during restores. The format for the mapping would be nontrivial, although I suppose it might not be too difficult to have tar itself construct a database of all of the combinations of userid groupid and group permissions in an archive: this could then be edited to create a mapping database. Any ideas? -Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 9 09:52:21 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA01523 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 09:52:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from lorax.ubergeeks.com (lorax.ubergeeks.com [206.205.41.241]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA01518 for ; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 09:52:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from adrian@lorax.ubergeeks.com) Received: from localhost (adrian@localhost) by lorax.ubergeeks.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA02064 for ; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 12:51:55 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from adrian@lorax.ubergeeks.com) Date: Sun, 9 Aug 1998 12:51:54 -0400 (EDT) From: ADRIAN Filipi-Martin Reply-To: Adrian Filipi-Martin To: FreeBSD Questions List Subject: slow amanda dumps?

I am backing up a mix of Solaris, FreeBSD and Digital boxes, and am having a preculiar problem. When the FreeBSD and Digital clients are dumping the transfer rates between the client and the server is abysmal. It is on the order of 50-100KB/s. All of the affected hosts are on a switched 100Mb/s hub, so connectivity is good. I can even do a "dump -0f - | rsh tapeserver dd of=/dev/null" and I consistently get throughputs of a 800KB/s or better. This is about what the other clients are getting normally. Has anyone else seen this problem?

It installs, but just > gives me one option (F1) which is DOS. I have installed my kernel second SCSI disk. I am successfully boot up from second drive by booteasy pressing F5 key. But accidentally, I erased booteasy. So, I have reinstalled booteasy by /stand/sysinstall, custom, partition, And wrote booteasy to the first and the second drive respectively. But when booting from first drive, there is no menu of F5. Nevertheless I press F5, booteasy on the second drive boots up and invodes kernel, and things go well. This seems very queer to me. Is this bug on booteasy ? So, you should boot up kernel by hand by floppy or by typing 0:wd(2,a)kernel (? I am not confident of this parameter.) to 'boot:' prompt, and call /stand/sysinstall. You should read FreeBSD-Handbook or FAQ on this /stand/sysinstall and partition-w. See http://www.freebsd.org/.

If you run the DNS for both domains change the MX records to point to your DSL connected machine. If you don't control it ask the ISPs who do to make the change for you. By default sendmail will bounce mail if there is no user with that id, IOW if you don't have a user dan then mail to dan will be bounced. > solution seems to apply to me.

Installing procmail is a good idea, but not for this problem. It will give you more control over local delivery than you've yet dreamed of. :) Dan -- Dan Busarow 949 443 4172 DPC Systems / Beach.Net dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 9 11:19:20 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA07230 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 11:19:20 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from jaguar.ir.miami.edu (jaguar.ir.miami.edu [129.171.32.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA07222 for ; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 11:19:12 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from marcus@miami.edu) Received: from jaguar.ir.miami.edu ("port 4290"@jaguar.ir.miami.edu) by jaguar.ir.miami.edu (PMDF V5.1-10 #24029) with SMTP id <0EXF00K6KPJDJE@jaguar.ir.miami.edu> for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 14:18:49 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sun, 09 Aug 1998 14:18:49 -0400 (EDT) From: "Joe \"Marcus\" Clarke" Subject: Re: FreeBSD boot time In-reply-to: <19980809173836.AAA14205%ha1.rdc1.bc.wave.home.com@cr649276-a.surrey1.bc.wave.home.com> To: Geoff Ludwiczak Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG 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 Rebuilding your kernel will do the trick. The problem exists with the defaul disks that are placed off of your secondary IDE controller. If you don't have any disks off of it, remove them from the kernel config and rebuild. By saying IDE disks exist when they don't, FreeBSD tries to probe for them, and the timeout is pretty long. Only include the disks (cdroms) that you have attached to your controllers.

Edit /sys/i386/isa/wd.c, around line 105; change TIMEOUT from 10000 to around 3000 - 4000, then recompile your kernel. That'll cut the probe time by 1/3.

Well, I've never tried this, but I have been told by others that this would reduce boot time. That said, I don't know what I'm talking about. But thankfully, I'll be corrected if wrong. The kernel, as it arrives, contains more devices than you would normally use. That's so it will work. Once you have it working, you can remove the devices you don't actually have. That should reduce the boot time. I haven't trid this yet, but I will. It's at the top of a long list of low priorities. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd : my [mis]adventures To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 9 13:16:47 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA19159 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 13:16:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cyclops.xtra.co.nz (cyclops.xtra.co.nz [202.27.184.96]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA19154 for ; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 13:16:45 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from junkmale@pop3.xtra.co.nz) Received: from wocker (210-55-210-87.ipnets.xtra.co.nz [210.55.210.87]) by cyclops.xtra.co.nz (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id IAA20066; Mon, 10 Aug 1998 08:15:49 +1200 (NZST) Message-Id: <199808092015.IAA20066@cyclops.xtra.co.nz> From: "Dan Langille" Organization: DVL Software Limited To: Dan Busarow Date: Mon, 10 Aug 1998 08:15:49 +1200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: Re: receiving mail directly Reply-to: junkmale@xtra.co.nz CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG References: <199808091318.BAA06901@cyclops.xtra.co.nz> In-reply-to: X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01b) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 9 Aug 98, at 11:15, Dan Busarow wrote: > > solution seems to apply to me.

Well, permanent in the sense that I don't dial up with a modem. Over the past 6 months or so, it's been down about 3 or 4 times. In such circumstances, my ISP, as the secondary server, would store the mail. Mail would be forwarded to my mail server by my ISP when the connection returned. A curly one: My connection may be permanent. But my IP is not. It's assigned via DHCP.

I guess you meant virtual terminals and not xterms, which are quite different things... In /etc/ttys, you can set more virtual consoles by addings lines like: ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ... ttyv ... The generic kernel allows by default up to 16 virtual consoles.

Reply-To: psh1@cornell.edu Date: Sun, 09 Aug 1998 18:03:04 -0700 From: Peter Haight Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've got a FreeBSD box that I use as a router for a small house network. I recently got some IP addresses and my new ISP calls my ISDN TA whenever there are packets for my network. I have two questions. 1. How do I setup this kind of two way ppp connection where it dials into the ISP when I have an outgoing packet and it accepts calls from my ISP when there is an incoming packet? 2. The ISP has given me an 8 IP subnet. Their router routes all packets to one address which is the other end of the PPP line. In order to do this I had to use two IP addresses for my router. One was the IP address on the local lan and the other is the one it gets from the PPP line. Is there some way to avoid this? Can I set the PPP link up as some kind of bridge instead? Here's what the setup looks like (with fake IPs): 10.0.1.120 - ISP's router IP. 10.0.0.129 - Local router IP on PPP to ISP. 10.0.0.134 - Local router IP on local network. 10.0.0.130 - Some host on the local network. The router's routing table looks like this: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 10.0.1.120 UGSc 1 1 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 10.0.1.120 10.0.0.129 UH 2 0 tun0 10.0.0.128/29 link#1 UC 0 0 10.0.0.130 0:e0:29:c:66:8 UHLW 2 4724 ed0 1036 10.0.0.134 0:40:5:1d:3d:d5 UHLW 3 10 lo0 10.0.0.135 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 2 59 ed0 Here is the output from ifconfig with the PPP link up. ed0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.134 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 10.0.0.135 ether 00:40:05:1d:3d:d5 lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8051 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.129 --> 10.0.1.120 netmask 0xffffff00 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 9 18:39:30 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA25358 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 18:39:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from rohan.sdsu.edu (rohan.sdsu.edu [130.191.3.100]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA25351 for ; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 18:39:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from antonel@rohan.sdsu.edu) Received: (from antonel@localhost) by rohan.sdsu.edu (8.8.7/8.7.3) id SAA04700 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Sun, 9 Aug 1998 18:39:04 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 9 Aug 1998 18:39:04 -0700 (PDT) From: antonel Message-Id: <199808100139.SAA04700@rohan.sdsu.edu> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Guys, I'm stuck.

I went through the same thing. The port for fetchmail doesn't list python as a dependency (it explains somewhere that python is only for the configuration GUI, which isn't essential), but the installation fails if you don't have it. I went in and edited the fetchmail Makefiles (and copied and gzipped a "missing" manpage file) and got it to install for me, simply without the fetchmailconf program. I didn't want to install Tk because I don't have X running on this machine because it's a server of sorts. >So I tried the package. Well, I've got that, untarred it. Now what do I >do with it?

I can't *find* the documention. man was *first* thing I tried. The *last* thing I tried was asking *where* the documentation is. In between I tried other stuff. The problem was I can't find no FM. The problem is that the manual is not installed. I went to the website to look up the fetchmail manual, but it's not there either. I just now checked the pkg directory. There's a man directory there with fetchmail docs in it. I've cp'd the files over to /usr/share/man/man1 and now have the manuals online. That said, I know where the manual is now.

I must admit I was confused when I started reading about fetchmailconf and Tk, both of which require X. Bummer. I'll give up on the port now.

When installing the package [but without success] I remember looking up package in the handbook, but found nothing. Searching for pkg_add works though. I found 4.5. What to do when a port does not work. Perhaps a section named "Packages" is appropriate? I've just tried the pkg_add. And it worked. But I believe events have overtaken us.

Probably the easiest way is to check the Makefiles... ah: # NOTE: The fetchmailconf program (an interactive program for # writing .fetchmailrc files) requires Python, found in the Ports # Collection under lang/python. The fetchmail program itself # does not need Python, so there is no RUN_DEPENDS for Python in # this Makefile. Just to see if this was correct, I made and installed the package. I had no problems. This was with the latest version (updated 26 July). If you have problems with that version, let me know.

If it's the latter, you will need to 'checkout' a copy of the source code somewhere, and then make that. Something like # mkdir /usr/src # cd /usr/src # cvs -d /home/ncvs checkout -r RELENG_2_2 -d . src That last line runs 'cvs', telling it that the file repository is '/home/ncvs', that it should 'checkout' the files, place them in '.', which is the current directory, and that the FreeBSD 'src' module should be retrieved. The version (revision) retrieved is 'RELENG_2_2', which corresponds with -stable. Once the files have been checked out, you can then run 'make world', as detailed in the tutorial.

I have ca. 30 webservers running happily on three machines (x86 Solaris and FreeBSD). No special attention required, they just run. Now the University administration wants a webserver for sensitive data, accessed only behind the firewall, that separates the administration network from the university network. They asked me (the University WWW representative) for advice. Under the restrictions that they have to - access Oracle and Ingres databases - have several online-forms, from simple mail-feedbacks up to user-dependant database queries and updates etc. I told them to get a Unix workstation - any kind of commercial unix will do. If I remember correctly I told them to get a cheap Solaris machine (SUN or x86). I mean: I/O is a no-issue, but they need professional support, which is why I didn't recommend FreeBSD. Support is very important for administrations and the like... I recommended Unix because of the highly dynamic contents of the pages (Query forms based on user-accounts, built online via CGI) and the database interaction (imho this interaction needs to be highly customized and I don't trust MS ISAPI for such a task) Guess what: It'll be NT. The reasons as they were told to me: 1) The university administration already runs a TCP/IP based NT network and they want to do all the security stuff based on the NT accounts (Yeah, I TOLD them what this means for the security of the network) 2) Administrations need solutions that are completely standardized. By 'completely' they mean, that scripts written by the staff are a complete no-no. The staff could be changing and the scripts aren't maintained anymore. So no Perl scripts, no add-ons like PHP for the database stuff etc. (Yeah, I TOLD them what database interaction means without customized scripts) 3) They already have lots NT users, so teaching one of them to become WWW administrator shouldn't be too hard ... (Yeah, I TOLD them ...) 4) An NT WWW server surely fits MUCH better into the existing NT network (At that point I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry ...) Well, I didn't try to convince them any longer, when I heard their reasons. Best of all: Apart from me, they didn't ask anyone else for advice. They came up with that all by themselves. Still, it's got to be NT. And yes: I handed them the Kirch article. What did I do? Despite my job of being the one who helps all the University staff out of their WWW troubles, I told them quite clearly, that I won't help them with problems. That's fine, I was told. So instead of running a virtual server on one of my machines, they buy another server and think of hiring another employee just to run that server in case the users can't cope with it. That's about $60.000 a year just to avoid using Unix. *shrug* Oh - and I'm sure that they'll eventually convert back to Unix. Last information I heard: I had to explain the NT user that was appointed to manage the admistration-WWW-project the meaning of HTML ("What's it for?") and had to recommend some courses to him ... nuff said. I mean: Here I am. 10 years of Internet experience, 5 years of WWW experience, 9 years of being a Unix-sysadmin, Masters degree in computer science ... and then this single story tells me how much my advice is valued. -Walter -- Walter Hafner_______________________________ hafner@in.tum.de *CLICK* The best observation I can make is that the BSD Daemon logo is _much_ cooler than that Penguin :-) (Donald Whiteside) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 10 04:37:58 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id EAA26521 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 10 Aug 1998 04:37:58 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from harfang.CC.UMontreal.CA (harfang.CC.UMontreal.CA [132.204.2.102]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id EAA26516 for ; Mon, 10 Aug 1998 04:37:56 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from beaupran@JSP.UMontreal.CA) Received: from epsom.jsp.umontreal.ca (epsom.JSP.UMontreal.CA [132.204.45.25]) by harfang.CC.UMontreal.CA (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id HAA28332; Mon, 10 Aug 1998 07:37:35 -0400 (EDT) Received: from outpost.nada.org (derby.jsp.umontreal.ca [132.204.45.26]) by epsom.jsp.umontreal.ca via SMTP (951211.SGI.8.6.12.PATCH1502/JSP1789) id HAA05960; Mon, 10 Aug 1998 07:37:33 -0400 Date: Mon, 10 Aug 1998 07:39:33 -0400 (EDT) From: Spidey X-Sender: beaupran@outpost.nada.org Reply-To: Spidey To: "Jose M.

I have a backup of all fylesystems obtained with DUMP, > How can I do now to extend /usr?, newfs -s maybe?. Regards. i really don't think it is a solution. I did the thing. And it was freespace that I was adding at the end of my /usr... All the stuff is on disklabel. 1- Make sure your backups are OK... I don't know DUMP, but I know that it is a risky procedure. 2- Check disklabel -r /dev/sd0s2. (you have 2.2.5R or lower uh?, or else your sd0a would be sd0s2a, I think...:). With disklabel, you'll see the size and offset of your partitions. One problem is that your /var is after your /usr, which means we got to make some room, which implies that you BACKUP /var, because it's gonna be *deleted*. 'En resume': /var, /usr and /home will be deleted. Back them up. Double check to see if you have the necessary software to restore these on **other** partitions than these 3!!! Then what you will do is, in single-user (not necessarly needed, but take no chaces...), edit the disklabel with: disklabel -r -e /dev/sd0s2 You may need to mount certain filesystems, 'cause disklabel uses a text editor (vi generally), and files in /tmp... In your case this shouldn't be a problem, 'cause /tmp is on a seperate partition. However, *** make sure you have vi under your path!!! **** There is the 'fun part'... You edit the sizes and offsets as your convenience. As I understood, you don't need to change the /var size, so just add the size you're adding to /usr to the *offset* of /var. You may also like to put /var *before* /usr, if you ever need (plan?) to do this again, but this may imply things that I am noot aware of (fstab changes etc...) You'll also have to add the adding size to the offset of /home, and substract it from the size of /home (to your calculators!!!! we don't want any mistake here!!!) Then: newfs /dev/sd0s2f newfs /dev/sd0s2g newfs /dev/sd0s2h This should give you the 3 new filesystems, empty, ready to be restored! There is only oone thing I would be worried about. The -11000 blocks "available"... I'm not sure as of how to handle this... So, briefly this goes on like: 1- Backup /var /usr and /home. 2- Install necessary software on a 'neutral zone', let's say /. a- vi or another editor that will be in $EDITOR b- disklabel, newfs (I think it's already on /bin, but...) c- you might also like a fixit and install floppies, if something goes wrong. 3- Go single-user, and mount necessary partitions. I don't think it would be a very good idea to mount /var, /home or /usr... Try to avoid it. 4- disklabel -r -e /dev/sd0s2 5- Edit to it your needs. [optionnal]- Swap /var and /usr 6- Wish. 7- newfs /home , /var and /usr (don't use this syntax! :) 8- Restore the partitions. 9- Modify /etc/fstab if you swap /var and /usr. 10- Be happy. 11- Quickly fill up /usr 12- 'GOTO 1-' :) Give me feedback!

I'll assume that the partitions are laid out in alphabetical order on the disk, and that newfs will DESTROY the contents of any partition on which it is run. Currently: size in K offset in blocks /usr 248175 X /var 695311 X + 2*(248175) /home 2244926 X + 2*(248175 + 695311) Later: /usr 348175 X /var 695311 X + 2*(248175) + 200000 /home 2144926 X + 2*(248175 + 695311) + 200000 /var is saved somewhere. /home is empty. We shall "slide" var and home 200K blocks down the disk, shrinking home (sd0s2h) and expanding sd0s2f (usr). Go to single user mode. (kill -TERM 1) Umount /home. Redefine home (sd0s2h) to have a size 200K blocks smaller than at present, and an offset 200K farther into the disk. (use disklabel -r -e sd0s2 ). Newfs the new sd0s2h partition, and mount it on /home Copy the current /usr partiton to this new /home. (build it as the whole tree, not a tar archive or something else. (cd /usr; tar cpf - . )|(cd /home; tar xvpf -) Redefine (disklabel -r -e sd0s2 ) the /var (sd0s2g) partition to have an offset 200K blocks larger than at present. newfs the new /var partition, and restore it from wherever it is stored. (I'd just make a tar file on / or somewhere on disk-- you've got plenty of space on /. (Don't use /tmp -- maybe you'll get a reboot by mistake). Remount the /var partition. (We're done with it). umount /usr umount /home mount the home (sd0s2h) partiton temporarily on /usr, if you need man pages, or other stuff on /usr. (vi from /usr/bin? who knows?) (mount /dev/sd0s2h /usr) disklabel the usr (sd0s2f) partition, adding 200K blocks to the size. Leave offset alone. newfs the new sd0s2f partition. Mount it on /mnt Restore the files: (assuming that the home partition is on /usr) (cd /usr; tar cpf - . )|(cd /mnt; tar xvpf -) umount /dev/sd0s2h umount /mnt mount /dev/sd0s2f /usr mount /home (maybe newfs it later -- quicker than rm -r *) return to multiuser mode. Check operation. Then clean out /home. Check my work before preceding. Some people say I'm not "definitive" enough. You may wish to replace "200000" and "200K" with a number of blocks that is an integer multiple of cylinders. Keep those backups -- it's too easy to ruin a disk layout with disklabel.

However, judging by the content of that list, I guess that this FreeBSD-questions list may be a more appropriate forum. Can anyone advise me if my system is repairable ? I was running FreeBSD 2.2.5 and W95 happily on my machine. wd0 contained W95, and wd1 contained FreeBSD Suddenly while running W95, everything went "pop" and I wasn't able to boot either. So, booting from floppy, using the "fixit" option, and running fdisk I get the following :- fdisk wd0 *** working on device /dev/rwd0 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=4095 heads=16 sectors/track=63 1008 blks/cyl) Figure below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=4095 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information for partition 1 is: Information for partition 2 is: Information for partition 3 is: Information for partition 4 is: fdisk wd1 *** working on device /dev/rwd1 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=4095 heads=16 sectors/track=63 1008 blks/cyl) Figure below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=4095 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information for partition 1 is: sysid 128, (Minix 1.1 ....... 1.4a) start -61531, size 63 (0 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head0; end: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head1; Information for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag d1 beg: cyl 0/ sector 62/ head 251; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 Information for partition 3 is: Information for partition 4 is: sysid 165, (FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 1, size 4127759 (2015 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 0/ sector 2/ head 0; end: cyl 1022/ sector 63/ head 15 My understanding of the above is limited, but I get the impression that my W95 (wd0) installation is gone, but my FreeBSD is still there in slice 4 of wd1. Based on the above information, can anyone confirm that my FreeBSD installation is still there, and that the challenge is how to boot it. I wrote a boot manager to the first disk (wd0), and now when I boot I get the following F5 .... disk 2 Default: F5 F5 .... disk 2 Default: F? Alternatively, would anyone like to suggest that the system is lost, and a fresh installation is required. Any advice on how to proceed, or where appropriate documentation may be found would be appreciated.

If you're down, but still findable via DNS, the mail will be spooled on the sender's system. Unless the downtimes are for more than 3 or 4 days (sendmail has a default 5 day wait before bounce) that's all you should need. Off site secondaries are pretty much a relic of the good old UUCP days. > A curly one: My connection may be permanent. But my IP is not. It's > assigned via DHCP.

What happens if they give you a new IP address and your old one goes to someone else?

You can hurt yourself using it but wielded properly it can make your life a lot easier. Just way overkill for refusing email to certain addresses.
