On our Sparc 1000 (single or double processor doesn't matter for this test) and a SSA model 100 (this is 30 1gb drives set up as a single 23gb raid-5 filesystem; I don't remember if they are wide or narrow but they are all seagate 31200 models) using the default vxvm raid 5 configuration (whatever that means), we get 1.2mbyte write rates (on 500mb files which is our main application for this thing) with the nvram turned off and 2.2 or so with it turned on. Read comes to about 4.7mbytes either way on the same files... FTP across a 100-base-t runs at the same speed as dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=32k count= which I used to make the test files in the first place. And no, vxvm apparently doesn't notice that I'm using /dev/zero and fake out the parity :-) It appears that the whole thing is write-limited by the raid. We also need nfs on the 100baseT but haven't tested that for speed... (and I need to run ttcp to see how the Sun hme card compares with the PCI dec ones; hope it'd be faster :-) Amazing having a 100-base-t and FW scsi on the same rather small S-bus card... -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 21 00:53:25 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id AAA03923 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 21 Apr 1996 00:53:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pelican.altadena.net (pelican.altadena.com [206.16.90.21]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA03912 for ; Sun, 21 Apr 1996 00:53:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: by pelican.altadena.net (Smail3.1.29.1 #10) id m0uAtxH-0000ReC; Sun, 21 Apr 96 00:53 PDT Message-Id: Date: Sun, 21 Apr 96 00:53 PDT From: pete@pelican.altadena.net (Pete Carah) To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 'less' on remote machine in an xterm Newsgroups: freebsd.questions In-Reply-To: <199604210030.SAA01311@obie.softweyr.com> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk In article <199604210030.SAA01311@obie.softweyr.com> you write: > >Steve Reid writes: > > When I login to the machines that I admin (using ssh) and use less to > > view a file, it works fine in a text-mode screen.

The same applies to SGI but Solaris likes stty rows= instead. Even svr4 systems aren't quite consistent (admittedly both of those and HP are highly modified svr4's..)

Now, I can type talk khetan@chain.iafrica.com from any host I've telnetted into, and it pops up on the relevant term, but when I respond (i.e. talk xyz@abc.iafrica.com) it keeps saying Checking for invitation on caller's machine.

That is very low in cost and worth for non-profit institution, like our church, to use. Therefore, I am looking for a stable freeware UNIX to be our mail server which should be able to handle UUCP mail to exchange mail with ISP. I don't know much above UNIX/UUCP/Mail/POP3, but understand that they can run very well and reliable. It would be very helpful if you could let me have the detail instructions how to setup the FreeBSD 2.1 with UUCP & mail. Our system is very simple, we expected our mail server could run on our old 386PC with 4MB memory, 100MB HDD and mono VGA monitor (character mode only). Network connection with 1pc modem only. All user will dial-up to our mail server via modem. The mail server will dial-up to our ISP to exchange mail by the same modem telephone line. One of the advantage of the mail server setup in our church is we could have setup unlimited user account in our system. Then we could have the same unlimited mail user account to send/receive mail with Internet! How nice it is when one old 386 PC, one shared telephone line (share with our fax machine) and USD20.-/month could serve unlimited mail user! Your prompt reply is apprieciated. Very truly yours, Norman Man p.s. When you will publish your next version of FreeBSD, after 2.1? Does 2.1 is good enough for our UUCP/Mail server?

It might be interesting to see if this will happen if you type find / -print If so, the last name before the blackout might give you some indication of the area in which the problem lies.

No. Since there are only these two computers on the network, I am using /etc/hosts. > Describe the symptoms in more detail. I am a bit further ahead now. At least I am able to connect from a DOS box and a "net use \\groucho\dpflag". However I am still not able to use Win95's 32 bit networking. When I start up my machine, I see the Windows Networking dialog which prompts me for my username, password and domain. I enter "dpflag", my password, and "groucho" for these (I don't know what else to enter for domain). It pauses for a while and then tells me that "No domain server was available to validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network resources". It then asks me for my Windows password and my desktop appears. When I click on "Network Neighborhood", nothing appears under Entire Network. If I double-click on "Entire Network", I get "Unable to browse the network. The network is not accessible". Dan.

This looks like a Xylogics problem, but you cannot be sure until you've also seen the logs from the remote peer. The above looks like iijppp is flooded with config request that are properly acknowledged.

Dial out is working fine. But dialing in has some problems. Outside callers can connect directly; the modem answers, but the 'login' never appears. They just get a blank screen.

I've set /etc/ttys to: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" as well as std.28800, std.19200, & std.2400, with no luck. Dmesg reports sio1 as type 16450, while under the internal 14.4 sio1 was type 16550A. So my question here is are 28.8 USR Externals just plain dogs; something to be returned? Or is there some hidden file I still have to configure for this faster modem?

Piece o' cake! yep! we had a manager that wanted a "project plan" for this thing! we subverted the effort. we put it together in 2 days. rs445, rf card reader with antenna, card database, and interface to add/ remove/ disable/ enable cards from/ in/ to/ the system. we submitted the "project plan" the next morning. two words: project complete. ;) funmny we forgot to enable the manager's card. but it was great for bring pizza back to the office. just walk on up to hte door, reads the card in your shirt pocket, push the door open with your butt. -- Jonathan M.

You'll find that the more that comes with FreeBSD does quite a bit more than other mores, and is a lot like less! ;-) Seriously, FreeBSD's `more' has quite a few of less's features. I've never really needed `less' on a FreeBSD host. If you really want it, it compiles painlessly (add -ltermcap to the lib list). In addition, there's a precompiled package for it on the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM ... mount your cdrom and type: pkg_add /cdrom/packages/utilities/less-290.tgz It's also in the ports collection under the `utilities' directory. You can also FTP the package or the port from ftp.freebsd.org ... look in /pub/FreeBSD/{ports/utils/less,packages/utiltiies/less-290.tgz}. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 21 16:05:19 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA14641 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 21 Apr 1996 16:05:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wasabi.cs.uq.edu.au (wasabi.cs.uq.edu.au [130.102.192.56]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA14633 for ; Sun, 21 Apr 1996 16:05:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from horn.cs.uq.edu.au (root@horn.cs.uq.edu.au [130.102.64.247]) by wasabi.cs.uq.edu.au (8.7.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA18988; Mon, 22 Apr 1996 09:04:42 +1000 (EST) Received: from localhost.cs.uq.edu.au (efung@localhost.cs.uq.edu.au [127.0.0.1]) by horn.cs.uq.edu.au (8.7.4/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA22669; Mon, 22 Apr 1996 09:04:41 +1000 (EST) Message-Id: <199604212304.JAA22669@horn.cs.uq.edu.au> X-Authentication-Warning: horn.cs.uq.edu.au: Host efung@localhost.cs.uq.edu.au [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: HMG coA reductase cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Questions...

I unfortunately had to install the entire system from floppy since my particualar DOS partition was not compatible with what the FreeBSD installation program was using. In addition, I have an IDE CDROM that is the 'master' device on my secondary IDE hard disk controller. I compiled a new kernel to include /dev/wcd0 on my secondary IDE controller and was delighted to see that it works beautifully. To get to the point, the same problem that makes it unable for me to install from my DOS partition has in the past caused a corruption of my entire FreeBSD filesystem when I made the mistake of trying to mount the DOS partition. I have since restored the system, but not without a number of lost hours and productivity. In case any such or similar accident were to happen again, is there a way to incorporate my new compiled kernel into the Walnut Creek installation program so that my installation would be far quicker if needed in the future?

Recently it was decided that if the device was closed, then the] user should have the option of ending the session by pressing the 'eject' button. This would have the effect of causing a mount session reset at the next open. In effect it would be the same as retrospectively changing the last close to a close and unmount. > > On Wed, 17 Apr 1996, Andrew Herdman wrote: > > > After upgrading to the recent snap, I have been having problems with my > > Archive Python 4mm Dat drive on a buslogics 946c and the nrst device. > > > > Using tar i can do the following: > > > > tar cf /dev/nrst0 /dir1 > > tar cf /dev/nrst0 /dir2 > > tar cf /dev/nrst0 /dir3 > > mt -f /dev/rst0 rewind > > > > tar tvf /dev/nrst0 > > > > tar tvf /dev/nrst0 > > this is expected.. what happens is: tar reads until it sees it's EOF record, and stops reading..

The machine is running FreeBSD 2.1.0R, sendmail and INN. The client who wants the UUCP machine will have his clients dialup over 28.8k modems. He doesn't know whether they will be dialing straight into a UUCP login, or connecting via PPP. He also doesn't know what software will be running on the remote side. He just wants "UUCP to work". Compressed UUCP over TCP? Is the UUCP that comes with FreeBSD good enough to do this? Any tips or pointers to documentation or sample configuration files will be greatly appreciated.

Michael, thank you very much. There are some instructions in the handbook. I installed 2.1R by FTP and got the sup package as well as others and got it all installed and running. There's a sample sup file for STABLE, which seems suited to what I want to do. However the sample sup file for ports looks as if it gets sources for all ports. I am wondering whether I need to get the sources for the ports/packages that I have installed and get these rebuilt as well as everything else in the "make world" process, in order for them to run?

Linux has support _some_ drives of this type for over a year. The Linux camp are, perhaps, somewhat more generous in their use of the term "support". Many people are using the FreeBSD ATAPI driver with no problems at all, however because it doesn't work with the vast majority of drives, and hasn't been heavily tested, it's generally considered wise to mention this up front. > I was wondering when this situation will be corrected. Atapi IDE > cdrom drives are not exactly new technology. Calling ATAPI drives "technology" of any sort is a bit of a joke. If you can put three models from three different vendors together, and find a lowest-common-denominator set of commands and options that allow the _basic_ CDROM operations, then you deserve a medal. And then we'll give you a fourth that breaks the set. If you're not sure whether your drive will work, download the ATAPI-enabled boot floppy and try it - you may well already be a winner. If you have a drive that doesn't work, and you're willing to help the developer(s) get it working, then people will be very happy. > Bill -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

Is this correct? I thought that most did work, and that it was an exception--unfortunately, a too common one--to find a drive that didn't work. Isn't it about time to get a list of drives which are known to work? Lots of people find themselves in the situation of wanting to buy a CD-ROM drive, and for one reason or another they can't buy SCSI. It would be nice to be able to say which do (and which do not) work. Who is using ATAPI? I'm not, but I have a colleague here who installed 2.1-release with a drive whose name he has forgotten, but which he will report to me tomorrow. >> I was wondering when this situation will be corrected.

In some cases, the same model name (can anyone say "Creative CDrom") has been applied to several quite significantly different models. > > Calling ATAPI drives "technology" of any sort is a bit of a joke. > > OK, so ATAPI is currently buggy, but in fact they're quite high-tech > devices.

I suggest you look closely at the innards of a modern CDrom, or perhaps ask yourself how they can produce such an allegedly high-tech device with incredibly high model turnover at the sort of prices we're seeing now. The answer is simple - cut every possible corner. My old $200 Sony Discman works better than every one of the ten or so CDroms that I've spent any time with in the last year or so. A pity it doesn't have a SCSI interface 8) I have a small pile of Panasonic 2x mechanisms that have developed intermittent and gradually worsening read aberrations over the last year or so, which I can only attribute to fatigue in the small pieces of spring wire that hold the optics in position. These have lost so much of their original resilience that the optical assembly can be heard to bounce _off_the_disk_ when they get really confused. At this point, there's about a 50% chance that they will eject the disk, still spinning at full speed. How much would a better grade of wire have cost? Or another week testing the firmware before shipping? Obviously enough that they decided they couldn't afford it.

Indeed. It's just sad that people buy them and then say "why doesn't your OS support this drive? It's the newest and greatest!". Some poor FreeBSD hacker turns their mind to mush working out how to talk to the drive, and then its obsolete and people are demanding support for a different monster. > Anyway, what kind of Panasonic drive? Part number? ID string? Do > they work with FreeBSD when they work? It's the CR503/CR563 mechanism. The 563 is one of the many drives to wear the "Creative CDROM" label, and I believe that most of them work OK with the matcd driver. The CR503-B was a low-cost SCSI CD that we bought several of, and software-wise they actully work quite well, although when they're confused they tend to reset the SCSI bus and interfere in other devices' transactions. (Read, if one loses the plot, it's time to power-cycle the system). The 563's never got a lot of work before they died - most of the time they were used for installing stuff (Office, various CAD software) and were removed when they repeatedly hung the system or started making scratching noises. So far we're not having too much trouble with the CR504 (the 4x version), but I've slated them all for replacement at the 12-month mark. I lost a disk at home to one of the 503's and I'm not willing to go through that again 8( > Greg -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

But after seeing the messages in some of the freebsd- lists about the fvwm95 port I thought I'd try it out. It's quite nice, and certainly manages to confuse some of the people around the office. But it seems to be a bit of a process hog. With ctwm, I had a kernel compiled with maxusers set to 20 and could quite happily have 8 xterms running, a few Netscape windows and quite often a copy of XEmacs.

I am trying to install a new hard drive on a FreeBSD 2.1 system and am metting with stiff resistance. I want to use this 2.2 gig SCSI-2 for a small newsfeed. I have fdisk'ed the drive several times now and it seems to work, but when I try to do newfs it returns two errors: not a character-special device and `1' partition is not available First off, this should not have to be a character device anyway should it? I thought it needed to be a block device? I have tried I tried looking for a command line option to tell it to expect a block device but there was none to be found. Also I cannot find an option to set the inode size down to 2k. If someone could give me. in order, the procedure and options to prepare and mount this hard drive, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to configure the XFree86 to run on my system, but the monitor is always out of sync. The only mode that works is 320x200x256. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 3 monitor and a Trident AGI 9440 PCI video card. This card is VESA compatible and works fine with any resolution with OS/2, Windows and any game running on DOS. It has 1024 Kbytes of memory. The monitor supports the horizontal refresh rate of 31.5 and 35.5. The vertical refesh rate for each resolution is: 60Mhz for 640x480 60Mhz for 800x600 87Mhz, interlaced for 1024x768. When I run xinit, it displays the following messages: Unknown chipset 0x5e (I think the number is 0x5e, but I'm not sure) Using builtin mode 320x200 If I use anything on virtual screen section on XF86Config, except 320x200 the monitor becomes out of sync. I've tried to use the Ctrl+Alt+KP_+ to switch between defined modes (1024x768, 800x600, 640x480), but it doesn't make any change at all. I've looked at cards database in xf86config and it doesn't have my video card neither a generic VESA compatible SVGA, so I don't know what to do to make it work on my system. My questions are: 1 - What is this builtin mode 320x200 xinit is using ? 2 - How can I make XFree86 work on my system ?

Let me toss out some possibly helpful info: 1. Some aspects of IPv6 are still being debated. One example is the set of extensions to the BSD sockets API to support IPv6, which just had a new Internet draft released last week. It is true that the packet formats are "standardized today" but it takes more than that to have a working protocol deployment. 2. Yes, interoperable implementations exist, but they're prototypes. For people who want to experiment with software in this form, source code is available. I'm aware of at least three possibly-applicable implementations (for BSD 4.4Lite from NRL, for BSD/OS from the WIDE project, and for NetBSD from INRIA). More information can be found on the IPv6 home page: http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ipng-main.html There is an overlay network designed to support routing IPv6 packets over tunnels between IPv6-connected "islands", similar to how the MBONE works for IP multicast: http://www-6bone.lbl.gov/6bone/ So you could say that to a certain extent, IPv6 is happening now, and you could (theoretically at least) get a FreeBSD box to talk IPv6. I think the answer to the original question ("When could be IPv6 [sic] available for FreeBSD") depends a lot on how the person wanted to use it. If they were willing to fold an existing prototype implementation into FreeBSD, and use an experimental infrastructure, the answer is "now". If they wanted it for production use (which sounds more like the case), they should wait awhile. Bruce.

You certainly may put it on a second controller, but IMHO you should use the first one as much as you can (I don't know what behavior the ATAPI CDROM code exibits in this regard -- it's been known to favor some setups over others).

I had better ask what you mean by the "linux emulation" on the InfoMagic CDROM. (I'm conjuring up an odd definition for "linux emulation"... yeah, linux :) My guess is that you forgot something. 1) Did you "make all install" the ports/emulation/linux port? 2) Did you build and load linux_emu? (I found that I had to re-install the kernel sources and the lkm dist to get it working) The next version of FreeBSD's linux emulator will be loads easier to install.

There is another way using interlaced gifs - basically one gif contains a few images which each overwrite the previous one. It works with any software which displays interlaced gifs properly, and doesnt have many of the disadvantages of the server-push abomination. I dont know how you make them, but I dont think any of the FreeBSD ports will help you.

There is no Java enable Netscape port for FreeBSD that I know of, so if you want to view your animation, you may want to try one of the others. You can make a server push script pretty easily with Perl, but the easiest way if you don't want to do the programming is make a gif animation. There is a way to save several gifs in one.

Something like referring to a file which the program has already closed. Other things are possible - could a full file system cause this? As with all other errors, memory corruption can cause this, but it wouldn't be the first error I would expect.

Boy, you're busy :-) No, you don't need the X sources, but you do need the header files and libs (which are loaded if you choose the right install option). You may also need to make a symbolic link from /usr/include/X11 to /usr/X11R6/include - I can't remember the details for xv, but several of the X ports use the old directory convention, and once it's set up, you don't notice.

I have a SyQuest EZ135 135Mb IDE drive on a pentium PC. Even though the system is configured correctly for this drive, with the right number of C,H,S for 135Mb, FreeBSD reports it as a 270Mb drive and doubles the number of cylinders. When configuring the system, I manually changed the drive characteristics, but it still insisted that it was a 270Mb drive. I formatted the initial cartridge to 130Mb for /mnt and 140Mb for a swap partition, and then do not mount the swap partition. This works but is not a solution. How can I format new cartridges to 130Mb. Do you have any ideas of newfs/format commands that I might try??

There are two PCMCIA ports on a compaq 410C but it looks like the kernel only sees the first one (which is the bottom one). So here was silly me trying all these different ethernet cards and none of them been visable to the kernel. The fix was to put it in the bottom one :) Once the kernel found the ibm card it was simple from there. Couple of hacks to config files in /etc/XF86Config for X, psm support for the kernel (although i have the wrong resolution still set but a couple more hacks will do the trick :) ). The only big problem i have is getting the PCMCIA modem working, the kernel sees the Miracom WorldPort PCMCIA as a Intel Internal 2400 baud modem. And i am unable to tip to it from any device ? Any clues ? Thanx in advance Tony -- Little Tony........

Hmm. I don't use the CHILD_MAX option (although I'll try it). Is it accessible through sysctl? I couldn't see it in the output from -A. And what's the default value. I've been doing some more digging into this though. First off, some config info: kern.maxproc = 340 kern.maxprocperuid = 339 Now, I wrote a quick program to keep forking, keep a count of the number of children it could create simultaneously before fork() returns an error code, and then exit. And this shows Where Number of children px -ax | wc -l ------------------------------------------------------------- Console 38 28 fvwm95-2 26 40 ctwm 31 36 Those figures seem about right, as I fire off five more processes in my .fvwm2rc95 than in my .ctwmrc. Examining the ps output seems to give one more clue, which I think is the nub of the problem. fvwm appears to run programs by passing the command line to "/bin/sh -c" (this can be seen in builtins.c::exec_function() in the fvwm source). And for any program that's run, this seems to add an extra process. As an aside, I don't see the '-c' option documented in sh(1). For example, if my program (mentioned above) shows that it could fork() 26 times, then running an xterm using fvwm's menus (or buttons) reduces this figure to 23. Doing the same operation with ctwm reduces the number to 24. This reduction by two seems correct, since an xterm will spawn itself and one shell. It looks like fvwm is spawning /bin/sh, the xterm, and the xterm then runs the shell, for a total of three processes. As a simple minded hack, I tried replacing the call to execl() in builtins.c::exec_function() with one to system(), which (as far as I can tell) is the call ctwm uses to spawn new programs. But this generated lots of X event errors which I'm not qualified to debug. So, is this an fvwm problem or a sh problem? Anyone more qualified than I care to comment?

The machine is a pentium 133 with 96MB ram, freebsd 2.1r and its running INN1.something - Its been fine for ages and then lately every day or two it hangs without an error message - cept sunday in which I had these blocks of error messages on the screen. Im wondering if I have a bad simm. I looked and there is no light on the scsi card - I thought maybe it was a scsi hang, but then the GPF and the error 9 which sounded like software errors makes me wonder if it isnt a weak simm - or could a corrupted binary do it you think?

However, interestingly enough, % ls -l `which xconsole` -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 10 16384 Nov 3 00:24 /usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole* Shows that xconsole is in a group with no name. On my system, 'operator' is group #5, and I certainly haven't changed that since installation. Besides, surely xconsole would need to be setuid for this to work. I thought the whole point was that ordinary users should be able to take the console. As documented in LINT. . .

The easiest way to limit bandwidth is to insert a sleep() call after write() in your favorite network utility (here, ftpd). Limiting the number of users is trivial, most enhanced ftpd's will do that automatically, based on config file. We had a little engineer(ing) problem once. ;-) The sleep() thing is VERY cheap but also VERY effective. ... Joe "You Can't Throttle Tftp!" "Oh Yeah? Watch Me."

If your server is openly accepting connections from remote clients, all they need to do is write a program that connects to your X server and requests a copy of each keypress event. It does not need to have a visible window on the watched server, so it may not be obvious that it is happening. As an example of how bad this type of security hole can be, I once took the sources to xev, a stock X utility, and commented out about 90% of the code. All I left in were the bits about keypresses. This was sufficient to demonstrate that I could save to file, text that wasn't even echoed on my friends _remote_ display, e.g. a password prompt. > BTW, I run xdm from my rc.local > > Should I be doing it from ttys ? If so, how ? I doesn't make a difference here. Remote users do not have access to your /dev/tty* files. It is open access to your X server that is the problem. This is a nice example of a transitive security problem.

If so, how ? ttyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on "Should" is a little strong. There is nothing really wrong with starting it from rc.local, but putting it in ttys ensures that tty is reserved for X.

All of our workstations are W95 using exchange with internet mail. Sometimes when the workstation logs on to collect mail the logging on takes up to 5 minutes and other times just seconds. The server is not under any heavy load. The delays are completely at random and not restricted to any particular workstation. I don't know whether it co-incides with sendmail receiving mail from outside, although i don't think so. The server spec is P100 32MB. Any ideas please ? Regards, Craig.

There are no 'official' kernel hacks as of yet, but the BSD Nomad's have made alpha patches available, and I'm beating them into beta state as I add them slowly to the tree. I'll be adding the PCCARD/APM hooks later today, which leaves me with some APM compatability hacks, more device driver changes, plus the user-land code at which point all of the known code will be in. At that point we'll have 'beta' level PC-CARD support, which means folks will have to get back to me to get things fixed which are broken. In any case, if you need support *NOW*, check out the Nomad's home-page at: http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa/freebsd-pcmcia/ Nate From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 23 08:49:16 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id IAA12458 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 08:49:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from serv1.rof.net (alex@serv1.rof.net [206.168.17.254]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id IAA12451 for ; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 08:49:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from alex@localhost) by serv1.rof.net (8.7.3/8.7.3) id JAA25139 for FreeBSD-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 09:49:33 -0600 (MDT) From: Alex Huppenthal Message-Id: <199604231549.JAA25139@serv1.rof.net> Subject: stable hangs To: FreeBSD-questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 23 Apr 1996 09:49:33 -0600 (MDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Setup is: > > 133 Pentium, 64MB, FreeBSD Stable, 2 DEC de0,de1 ( kernel config'd) > Bustek PCI scsi, 2x4GB HP scsi, 2x8BG Seagates scsi, > > Symptoms: > > de0, or 1 don't initialize during boot - apparently, next message > 'changing root to sd(0,a)' hangs, times out and 'bt0 - not responding' > messages... > > now removing the de1 define in the conf. > > rebuilding.... > > > --JAA19774.830273428/serv1.rof.net-- > > From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 23 08:49:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id IAA12496 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 08:49:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from escape.cs.ibank.ru (Simbirsk-INKOM-GW.ibank.ru [194.58.131.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id IAA12449 for ; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 08:49:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from radix.cs.ibank.ru (radix.cs.ibank.ru [194.58.131.140]) by escape.cs.ibank.ru (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id TAA09798; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 19:47:20 +0400 (MSD) Message-ID: <317CFB7A.41C67EA6@cs.ibank.ru> Date: Tue, 23 Apr 1996 15:47:06 +0000 From: Igor Vinokurov Organization: Zynaps Undernet X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: robin@is.co.za CC: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: /dev/console References: <199604231346.PAA26815@admin.is.co.za> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Robin Lunn wrote: > > Nik Clayton wrote: > > > These permissions are fine.

I have a SyQuest EZ135 135Mb IDE drive on a pentium PC. Even though the system is configured correctly for this drive, with the right number of C,H,S for 135Mb, FreeBSD reports it as a 270Mb drive and doubles the number of cylinders. When configuring the system, I manually changed the drive characteristics, but it still insisted that it was a 270Mb drive. I formatted the initial cartridge to 130Mb for /mnt and 140Mb for a swap partition, and then do not mount the swap partition. This works but is not a solution. How can I format new cartridges to 130Mb. Do you have any ideas of newfs/format commands that I might try??

It doesn't. Normally the printers come with some software which can be used as an `of=' output filter, which actually does the appropriate connection to the remote device. You might try: ttcp -t -p 10001 www.xxx.yyy.zzz 2>/dev/null in an output filter script. Probably lpd should be capable of doing this (when I was at UVM we had such a one). -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Some print servers which can masquerade as LPD should work directly. Just set up your /etc/printcap with a remote printer entry. The printer itself should queue and spool incoming jobs. Yours sounds like it isn't one of those, given that it's listening on port 10001, which certainly isn't LPD. In that case, it might be the kind where you just open the port, throw data on it, close it, and watch the paper spew out. A quick perl script which does just that suffices as a complete LPD input filter for such a printer. I document both these cases in the FreeBSD handbook, section ``Printing.'' -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 23 11:22:40 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA23035 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 11:22:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov (fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov [137.75.131.171]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA23016 Tue, 23 Apr 1996 11:22:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: by fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov (5.57/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA08580; Tue, 23 Apr 96 18:21:58 GMT Message-Id: <9604231821.AA08580@fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov> Received: by emu.fsl.noaa.gov (1.40.112.3/16.2) id AA198383844; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 12:24:04 -0600 Date: Tue, 23 Apr 1996 12:24:04 -0600 From: Sean Kelly To: jgreco@brasil.moneng.mei.com Cc: wollman@lcs.mit.edu, jgreco@brasil.moneng.mei.com, ishort@pcm.co.za, questions@freebsd.org, isp@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199604231602.LAA29590@brasil.moneng.mei.com> (message from Joe Greco on Tue, 23 Apr 1996 11:02:15 -0500 (CDT)) Subject: Re: Bandwidth limited FTP server Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >>>>> "Joe" == Joe Greco writes: Joe> I would hazard a guess that you mmap()'d the victim file, and Joe> did a write() on the whole region..? :-) Clever...

This worked ... except now .... when I ran /stand/sysinstall to do the network setup ... when I select the INTERFACE screen it doesnt come up. THe screen will momentarliy flicker and then go back to its previous menu !!!!!! HMMMM ... so I just went back into the system and tried pinging a device ... the system said ... no route available ... SOOOOO .... I ran ifconfig .... put in an address, netmaak and broadcast address. Then tried a ping .... and IT WORKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT .... If I telnet to another device it IS SO SLOW .. I could wait for three or four minutes for FreeBSD To logon to the other device !!! What is wrong here ???????? Can I just finish the configuration manually , what commands do I use to propoerly set the address and gateway ????

You haven't given me enough information to tell if the problem is that the SCSI driver is assuming based on drive type, the drive is reporting the incorrect type based on its model number, or the formatted disk has a particular media tag, etc., etc..

If there is too much traffic or the modem (or interface) has any hardware problems, this can cause the depletion of mbufs which eventually can cause the system to hang up. Have anyone ever looked into this ? This a a catch-22 situation - how many should we queue ? Best regards.

Thus (given): -r--r--r-- 1 jimd users 1024 Apr 9 14:29 foo The command 'chmod o+x foo' would result in: -rw-r--r-- 1 jimd users 1024 Apr 9 14:29 foo While the command 'chmod 200' would result in: --w------- 1 jimd users 1024 Apr 9 14:29 foo (basically an absurd set of permissions).

Bandwidth limitations can be imposed by such programs in artificial ways. Under unix the ftpd demon can be fired up in two ways. For anon users it can be fired up as a lower priorty process and thus will run less often resulting in a lower load on the CPU,DISK and www server. For account users it can be run at another priority. There are a Number of ways to accomphish this. you can create a background process to renice the ftpd for anon usres. -- for more info email me at : joseph@joseph.dswnet.com Sr Sys.

You'll know if the boot floppy can't see it. That's a bit of a long shot 8) If the 7197 behaves like a 7000, then that's an _Excellent_ reason not to use it. The 7000 is based on the WDC33C93, which isn't a bad SCSI controller as such, it's just about fifteen years out of date. I _do_ know that the promo lit. for the WD PCi controllers harps on about the 3393, I just hope it's no ore than drivel. I still haven't had any response from any of the local people selling them wrt. documentation, and they're more expensive than the NCR controllers anyway.

It documents the method of using /./ to seperate two halves of a user's home directory. The first half being the chroot location. Regardless of where this string lies in ftp's homedir field in /etc/passwd, the ftp server sets the root to be the same as the complete home directory. This works corrrectly for other users (real), but not an anonymous one. What gives? The (fake root)/bin/ls executable that FreeBSD ships with for use on an anonymous ftp server insists that (fake root)/etc/pwd.db exists instead of /etc/passwd, or it will not display file owner names. Is there any way of createing a fake copy of pwd.db containing a minimal set of records including stdin/out tools for script use? Thanks in advance, John T.

I've never really used a tape drive before... once you have dump working locally then try rdump. rdump requires that you get r-cmds working which is another step. look at the rsh man page. a faq entry is in preparation -- Jonathan M.

Sender: owner-questions@Freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk To the people with the answers... Got some questions for you guys (gals) about BSD. First off, about 6 months ago, I got introduced to Unix (U kNow It's eXcellant) by having a BSD machine dropped in my lap at work. The objective of my boss is to get an Intranet up and going for our company that is spread out across the northern 1/3 of the state of Indiana (Electric Utility). The machine that was dropped in my lap is a Gateway 4DX2 66 with 16M of RAM and a IDE 220M harddrive. I've got Netscapes Communication Server running on top of BSD. This has all been in the developmental stages up to now. However, very soon this thing might be blown wide open to the company people and possibly even going Internet due to some new regulations in the Electric Utility Industry. I've pretty much got the Netscape portion down, configuring the server and learning all that html stuff, cgi, etc. Now my objective is to get the BSD portion down. About a month ago I got Walnut Creek's FreeBSD CD (v2.1). I'm using my own pc at work to do all my Unix experimenting on so I don't jepordize my online machine. I partioned my 1.6M harddrive (IDE) so I can boot to either DOS or UNIX. (Discovered that the unix partion must be below 1M or it just won't boot to Unix. Didn't see anything about this in the documentation anywhere.) As far as Unix, everything I've learned has been from one of two books (Unix Administration by Garth, Nemeth, etc. and the other book is the O'reilly book with the armadillo on the cover) or by trial and fire. Neither of the books are very BSD specific though. There isn't a whole lot about initially configuring a new machine in any documentation I've seen. One problem I have is on booting my experimental machine is I see some lines that say something like.. myname.my.domain: bad value starting routing daemons: standard daemons:cron, printer, sendmail (myname...) does not seem to exist!: connection refused I'm on the trail of getting this one figured out, have been messing with sysconfig and some files in /etc/named. Fortunately, I can do comparisons between my on line machine and experimental machine configuration files. Even so, I still need to understand why the error. The is also another error that says something about the router value being bad just before the above lines. After getting BSD configured, then it's off to configuring x-windows. Another problem I have (on my online machine) is that it appears that the hard drive is going to sleep after awhile. If the machine has been sitting awhile and I then go to do something on it, I hear the hard drive wind up. Have been getting "seek errors" at the same time. I'm assuming they are related. Just yesterday, when I exited x-windows, my monitor just went blank. If I blindly typed in startx, x-windows would start up. But same blank screen everytime I exited x-windows. The only way I found out of it was to just crash the machine. Any ideas on this one. On my experimental machine, I attempted to put another small hard drive on it just so I could do some playing with file systems and multiple hard drives under BSD. However, I can't seem to get BSD to give me usable space on it when I go and create a partition on it. Both of my books discuss adding hard drives but only SCSI and not IDE. I would appreciate any help you can give or tell me where I can find some BSD specific documentation. I have gleaned some info from the FAQ and handbook. This will greatly help me to advance toward my goal, to become one of the few, the proud, a "Unix Guru".

I use (happily) use xdm now but when I first got X going used xinit. Same symptoms of not being able to access /dev/console. This went away when I added myself to the operator group. Oh! That reminds me. They might well be using /dev/ttyv0 instead of /dev/console... Would that make a difference? FreeBSD comes configured to use ttyv0 instead of console. I'm too settled in my X session to tinker with this idea right now. :-) Should you want to use /dev/console instead of /dev/ttyv0, edit /etc/ttys to reflect the following: console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure -- _ __ | Only my ideas here unless I say otherwise...

Mike Smith said almost all I could say about the remaining subjects. Since you have Nemeth and Co., you should check the BSD disk partitioning info in there. It's painful, but you should get enough information to be able to do it. I've been volunteered to write up a section on adding disks for the on-line handbook, but it might take a while.

To quote from the 'xterm' man page: -C This option indicates that this window should receive console output. This is not supported on all systems. To obtain console output, you must be the owner of the console device, and you must have read and write permission for it. If you are running X under xdm on the console screen you may need to have the session startup and reset pro- grams explicitly change the ownership of the con- sole device in order to get this option to work. which implies that regular users should be able to do this (in fact, it's because I can do this under SunOS 4.1.3 that I want to do it under FreeBSD). Taking a poke around /usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm, I can see -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 10 390 Nov 3 00:24 GiveConsole* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 10 249 Nov 3 00:24 TakeConsole* and the comments within them imply that they set the console permissions correctly. However, it also looks like they're meant to be run from xdm, which runs as root and so can do this. The 'xdm_config' file shows that these programs are to be run at xdm startup and reset respectively. A regular user running 'startx' can't do this. For purely historical reasons (i.e., it's what I started with, and it's now ingrained in the fingers) I normally use 'startx'. And I'd quite like the console stuff to work correctly with this. The only other suggestion so far (add myself to the operator group) hasn't worked.

So now, the big hold up seems to be our present inability to run Linux ELF binaries. I understand that this will be coming down the pike in a few months. Does anyone have any testimonials about just how good or bad the Windows emulation is? If it can run Word and Excel its obviously much further along than Wine... but is it actually usable? Perhaps when the BSDI DOS emulator port is done we'll be able to run Locus Merge via SCO emulation (any guesses?). I think I could get FreeBSD on some desktops here if I could only achieve some sort of Windows app capability.

Features, pricing, > availibility, etc. Will it work on non-ELF binary systems? It is part of the twin apiw toolkit for each of our supported platforms, including linux. It may have some value to you, but is only supported through the twin-users mailing list. If you register for the sdk, you will recieve instructions on how to access the software, and then how to run and configure xwin to run windows applications on linux. It does require ELF kernel support, which can be added to an non-elf machine, without a kernel upgrade, our ftp site has the necessary files to do this. We recognise the amount of work to make it have binary support equivalent to WABI, and are not in a position to do that at this time. Be forewarned that it is an impressive demo, but is not commercial quality yet.

COULD SOMEONE THERE PLEASE ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS !!! ________________________________________________________ From: Sandel, David on Tue, Apr 23, 1996 2:59 PM To: Tech Support FREEBSD Hi --- I am runnig FreeBSD 2.1 on a PC. When I first installed it I could not get the network running because it had a3COM 3C590 card in it which FreeBSD does not have a driver for. SOOO .... I put in a older 3C509 card. Then I had an IRQ conflict with another device using irq 10. So I reset the card to irq 12. This worked ... except now .... when I ran /stand/sysinstall to do the network setup ... when I select the INTERFACE screen it doesnt come up. THe screen will momentarliy flicker and then go back to its previous menu !!!!!! HMMMM ... so I just went back into the system and tried pinging a device ... the system said ... no route available ... SOOOOO .... I ran ifconfig .... put in an address, netmaak and broadcast address. Then tried a ping .... and IT WORKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT .... If I telnet to another device it IS SO SLOW .. I could wait for three or four minutes for FreeBSD To logon to the other device !!! What is wrong here ???????? Can I just finish the configuration manually , what commands do I use to propoerly set the address and gateway ???? ALSO --- I want to use FreeBSD as a bootp server .... what directory and files do I need to know about. Also .... I want to use FreeBSD as a tftp server .... what directory and what type of account do I need to have setup. Thanks .....

If you want to change what your gateway is on an installed machine then edit /etc/sysconfig and edit the "defaultrouter" entry. If you want to set up the network gateway while in fixit mode then type "route add default x.x.x.x" where x.x.x.x is your gateway IP. -- _ __ | Only my ideas here unless I say otherwise...

You need to define the directory that you want to allow tftp traffic in. On suns it is by default /tftpboot. That seems to be resonable. You start it by uncommenting the line in /etc/inetd.conf and appending /tftpboot to that line. Then kill -HUP `ps -ax |grep inetd |grep -v grep` No you don't need an account for tftp, that's why its call "trival ftp". > > I want to use Freebsd as a bootp server. How do I set this up ?? What > files, directory etc ??? You need to add a line in /etc/inetd.conf like: bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tcpd bootpd and kill -HUP inetd again.

PCI NICS: What PCI bus NIC(s) has/have the most fully feature driver support under FreeBSD 2.1? If I run a DEC based Fast Ethernet card, will it run well in a standard 10Mb network? Do the DEC based cards suffer when compared to a standard 10Mb card? Are 'lance' based PCI NICs supported under FreeBSD 2.1? PCI SCSI CONTROLLERS I've heard the NCR based PCI SCSI controllers touted as being values. Are there any performance related functions missing from the NCR based cards, or are the non NCR based boards just over priced? Blather: Help! I've run FreeBSD 2.0.5 on two different systems, both using Intel EtherExpress cards. (Why? because they're supported, and there is a slew of them in use here.) On a Pentium-90 system with 16MB RAM, I am able to generate ix0: timeouts under heavy (network traffic) loads. I would'nt be concerned, but this machine serves as a web-proxy and the stuttering of the card kicking in and out looks bad at the web-browser end. On a (VLB) 486DX2-80 system with 16MB RAM, I have been getting streams of 'ix.cx.dmaunder', and 'ix.cx.heartbeat' messages under heavy (network traffic) loads. *** Before you send back any 'RTFM' replies: I attribute the timeouts to the fact that the P5-90 can drive the ix0: faster than the card can go. I would like to run a PCI card in this machine, but don't want to buy one until I've heard good things from people who've used them. I have a 'lance' chipset PCI card available, but it isn't (doesn't seem to be) supported in 2.0.5. I'm concerned about the 'ix.cx.dmaunder' messages on the DX2-80 though. I've tried every different IRQ setting I can that isn't a conflict, to no avail. If this is a mainboard issue, then I'll use it for something else (not FreeBSD) instead. As the kernel ships, in 2.0.5, the ix0: driver has 32k of ram mapped in for the network card. I don't usually run any ram mapped when running dos. I made sure that the cards softsettings matched the ix0: drivers.

Hmm, It looks like from the man page (man bootpd) that you might need to give the path to the bootptab file in inetd.conf. Try: bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd /etc/bootptab Permissions of 644 root.wheel should be fine. Sorry, I don't run bootp on my FBSD boxes, it seems to be a bit different from Suns. Is the bootptab file referencing files from tftp to load? That's the other possiblity as to a problem. If that file doesn't exist. But, I bet it's probably the different inetd.conf entry. Dave, don't just reply to me. Be sure to keep Cc:ing to questions@freebsd.org. That way others can help, too. I don't have all the answers, and I'm not always available. After all, we are all just users here, there is no FreeBSD help staff. Paul. -- Paul T.

So far as I know none of these support TCP/IP. Mark Williams corporation (publishers of Coherent) is defunct (last I heard). I don't know if Xenix is still available (but it was always pretty bad) so that leaves Minix. As far as I know Minix (by Andrew Tannenbaum (sp?)) is available as a commercial product from Prentice-Hall -- but is basically only sold with one of Tanenbaum's books on OS design. I've read of versions of Minix that run on XT's and versions that are "enhanced" to run on the 286. There used to be a newsgroup (alt.os.minix?) -- you might want to grab the FAQ from rtfm.mit.edu (or any nearby mirror) or write me a message (off list) and I'll forward a copy to you.

I don't necessarily always want to run X11 on startup. I did for a while, but decided that on my machine (which (back then) barely had enough memory to make X realistic (i.e. 8Mb) it was too much hassle... So xdm isn't always ``the right thing''. The way around this is to use /etc/fbtab (see fbtab (4)). I use: /dev/ttyv0 0600 /dev/console myself. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD - Turning PC's into workstations.

Problem: cannot boot to just installed FreeBSD Hardware: Mather: DIGIS 486NL Processor: Intel 486SX 40MHz (8Mb memory) HDD: IDE Controller: VESA local bus S1345 VL IDE&i/o controller Network card: Ether Elita 16 Ultra Please, send me a message if you find any of the components listed above unsupported by FreeBSD. From FreeBSD handbook I got only suspicious about Ethernet card. So I decided to proceed and installed FreeBSD from another harddrive (in minimal configuration). I allocated the whole 450Mb disk for it and run Novice instalation. Installation was completed succesfully. However I could not boot to FreeBSD from that disk. The default settings apparently were hanging the computer so I had to give it a cold reboot. If I tryed to specify some other command at the boot prompt, it allowed me to do so, but later kept on rebooting after each hit of Return key. I tryed different partition of the disk but that did not help either. Please help me to find a reason why it happened. Do I have to change the hardware or it can be solved by some other actions, like proper configuration, may be.

The TWIN wource code is available under NDA; more than a few people have it, and in fact have it running under FreeBSD. You should join the Willows developement list for more details (I think it is on heir page?). In any event, that is where discussions take place, when they take place.

You can override for disklabel by making a disktabe entry that gives a smaller total number of sectors. Are you certain the geometry repotred by the WD controller interface "query geometry" says 270M? If so, you may have a firmware problem. In any case, the disklabel will override the raw device size, if necessary. If you are using an unlabeled device as an FS, you can give the "-s " argument to newfs to cause it to use only a portion of the space the driver thinks is available. Either approach will workaround the problem, which wants to be fixed either in the driver, the device jumpers, the device recognition code in the BSD driver, or the drive firmware (depending on who's actually lying about the size of the disk).

There's a conflict between the scan for serial ports three and four and the ATI chip, so here's how to fix it. When you boot from the floppy and it asks for Boot: type '-c' (no quotes) and when the prompt comes up type 'visual'. This will allow you to tell the kernel what not to scan as you've got a conflict problem. Specifically you need to disable the probe for *all* of the serial ports. This will allow you to then boot the machine. Next you'll need to edit sio.c and comment out the two lines that handle serial ports three and four (they're a ways down the listing). Finally, you need to build a custom kernel. This kernel will contain the new sio.c that will automatically *not* scan for serial ports three and four and this will fix your problem. If you need more help, give me a shout. After all the help I got on this one it's the least I can do. > p.s. Win95 and DOS are ok.

Steph @ SCO ported the Lachman stuff under License to Xenix. Most of the drivers didn't support "select" entry points, so it's not as useful as it could have been otherwise, but much software will run, if it doesn't need to, for instance, select on a tty. You can write a select substitute using small reader processes and token prefixing for a pipe. It's pretty trivial, actually. Then you read tokens from the pipe (pipe writes are atomic, so if you preassmeble the token buffer, there is no possibility of desynchronization). So basically, TCP/IP was sold for Xenix for a long time. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

My custom kernel has the entry from LINT for the PS/2 mouse with "conflicts" designated. Boot finds both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse just fine: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> ... psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard During boot, the NumLock key toggles the LCD a few times but stops working prior to loading the console driver. After boot, no keyboard key is active. Telnet sessions from other machines work fine and login messages get displayed on the telnet server console - the IBM V/P. Strange! My questions is "How anyone solved this problem"? Thanks for any assistance. As info, the VP is an ISA machine with a 486DX66 cpu. This one has 16MB and two WD 540 drives; first drive has DOS/WIN3.1 and Linux partitions; second drive has DOS/WIN3.1 and FreeBSD partitions; using lilo as the boot manager. Also has Panasonic 2X CD-ROM. Runs Linux and DOS/WIN3.1. I have tried to get this running for a couple of weeks. After this week, the FreeBSD space goes to Windows NT if a this problem persists.

In many cases, the submitter provided almost no relevant information, and in at least one case the submitter complained because not *all* his questions were answered. I know we have a FAQ for FreeBSD, but how about a "how to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions", to be broadcast once a week or so? Here some starters: 1. 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. 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, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to format your message so that it is legible. 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. 4. Please 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. 5. Please 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. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. 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 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.

They use PCI bandwidth to run their microcode; this is not normally a problem unless your system is _really_ strapped for PCI bandwidth. They don't handle large numbers of simultaneous targets as well as the Adaptec cards, but they'll keep a couple of fast SCSI disks quite happily busy. > I attribute the timeouts to the fact that the P5-90 can drive the ix0: > faster than the card can go.

Give it a go - plonk it in and see what address the PCI code says it's been mapped at, and then configure the 'lnc' driver to that address.

I may be wrong... > I have a virtual account set up on my machine, and due to some dns magic on the part of my isp it works. However, whenever I log in onto another machine the other machine's logs think I am the virtual domain. Also, I can't be real sure I have it aliased correctly because I have a dedicated dialup (isdn) ppp account with my isp, no router, and a bitsurfer pro modem. My situation didn't fit any of the examples so I had to improvise.

I think all the JetDirect EX boxes are as well. I print to any one of 3 HP4/HP4+'s with no fancy software.

This means that my P6-150 actually transmits /slower/ than my P5-133 does. - The i82557 is OK, but it has a strange performance anomaly: The Intel chip (unlike the DEC one) is capable of running at full Fast Ethernet speeds for packet sizes greater than about 450 bytes. When the packet size is less than this, however, it straight-line falls off the curve. We have not yet determined whether this is actually the fault of the 82557 or not, but in any case it is disturbing. What this means as a practical matter is that if your packets tend to be small (less than 250 bytes), the DEC chip can transmit them faster. If your packets tend to be large, the Intel chip can transmit them faster. On a 10-Mbit network, these numbers are irrelevant, since they are far above the curve. I have not seen any AMD 100Mbit parts (if there even is such a thing). -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

From the HP JetDirect Print Server Spftware Installation Guide 1995 (HP Manual Part Number J2552-90101) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Chapter 10. Configuring the HP JetDirect Print Server to Use LPD (UNIX)] The HP JetDirect print server functionality supports LPD on thee systems: o Berkeley-based (BSD) UNIX systems o HP-UX o SunOS/Solaris o IBM AIX --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note, this is not Chapter 9 (configuring for SunOS/Solaris and HP-UX) this is the general LPD chapter. I use SGI boxes around here, and it was a joy and delight to spend a whole 10 minutes setting this printer up. Could hardly have been easier. Define IP address through keypad control panel. Telnet into JetDirect Card. Set subnet-mask, default gateway, syslog-host and telnet password, turn banner pagees off and quit to save. 60 seconds later, the /etc/printcap file says (loosely) hplj|LaserJet|rp=raw|rm=hplj.nibsc.ac.uk|sd=/var/spool/hplj and we're away. 'lpq' 'lpr' etc all work great. I even get message in my syslog when the paper tray is empty! Big hand to HP for making it this easy. And it really works. Reliable, flexible. Nothing wrong with it. And no, I have _no_ connection with HP other than that of a satisfied customer.

Well I don't know enough to wade in on this except to say that I have a HP4M with the jetdirect card on my 10B2 network and lpr ing works fine give the following /etc/printcap entries, one for postscript and one for ascii. Since the 4M is a auto switching printer, I would guess you could just send ps and ascii to the ascii entry or vise versa, but I have never bothered to try. These entries were created right from information in the Jetdirect manuals which tells you how to set up lpd.

The description in this section is not lpd. If it were using lpd you wouldn't use lp=, you'd use rp= and rm=. lp= could be left blank. If I read the filter correctly, a device (ie lp=) would be unneccessary, or at least inconsequential. Since the filter would pump it out the network to the tcp/ip port on the printer. -- Paul T.

You don't need the software from HP. It's nice but not necessary. The manual is well-written and tells how to set IP address and such :-) Turning off the extra banner page (or burst page) may require the -h switch to lpr. I don't remember if the sh flag is honored with a remote printer without looking up how it's handled in the source for lpd (hint). Other than that, it's a straightforward remote lpr/lpd printer. The only trick is picking the queue, either "ascii" or "raw" if my memory is OK. The "raw" queue works nicely with JetRoff which can be found in old Usenet archives. A suitable set of printcap entry should be something like lp|ascii laserjet:\ :lp=:rm=jetdirecthostname:rp=ascii:sd=/var/spool/lp:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: lpraw|raw laserjet:\ :lp=:rm=jetdirecthostname:rp=raw:sd=/var/spool/lp:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: You can use the same spool directory or not, depending upon which box you want to handle device contention. Same spool and your FreeBSD box handles contention; different spool and the JetDirect handles contention. Remote queuenames and local spool directories may vary. Other printcap friendly configuration information can be found with man printcap :-) -- Mike Murphy mrm@Sceard.COM ucsd!sceard!mrm +1 619 598 5874 Better is the enemy of Good From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 25 12:59:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA05263 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 12:59:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.ucsd.edu (ucsd.edu [132.239.254.201]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA05256 for ; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 12:59:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sceard.UUCP by mail.ucsd.edu; id MAA05354 sendmail 8.6.12/UCSD-2.2-sun via UUCP Thu, 25 Apr 1996 12:59:22 -0700 for freefall.freebsd.org!freebsd-questions Received: by Sceard.COM (smail2.5/deliver1.5) id AA08275; 25 Apr 96 13:00:33 PDT (Thu) To: ejs@bfd.com Subject: Re: Net connected printer Cc: freebsd-questions@freefall.freebsd.org Message-Id: <9604251300.AA08254@Sceard.COM> Date: 25 Apr 96 13:00:28 PDT (Thu) From: mrm@Sceard.COM (M.R.Murphy) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >You will need to use some HP software to configure the card, but even the >windows version of the software will let you set up the IP address info, >and once that's done you can finish the configuration by telneting into >the printer.

AFAIK they are only needed for machines with more that 16MB of RAM. Otherwise you can leave them out. They don't cause any problems on machines they don't help though.

Speaking of such.. I am using the output filter program suggested in the handbook. I have had to make some local modifications to this program to handle some of the pecularities of our site. One of these is adding a sleep line at the end of the program so that all of the data makes it to the port. Has anyone else dealt with these issues? -branson Ummm... one more thing.. I have noticed that using this script and FreeBSD's lpd implimentation adds a linefeed to the end of my files. It seems to be comming from lpd.

Upon restarting dates have changed for requesting an update... we removed all files and directories that sup had created .... still no go. Original system was build from the 2.1 CDROM. Any suggestions as to how to get sup working. State of system now is 2.1 from the CDrom and updated files from sup to the games directory... Would appreciate any thoughts on what originally caused sup to hang and what would be necessary to restart it.

Bounce buffers are required for 24 bit (ISA) bus master DMA to addresses over 16M. If you are not using ISA cards, or an EISA system with a HiNT chipset, or a broken VLB card, you don't need bounce buffers. Normal EISA, normal VLB, and all PCI systems work without bounce buffers. Technically, if you had an Amiga, and FreeBSD was ported to it, or an Alpha with an EISA bus, and FreeBSD was ported to it, you'd need bounce buffers for the coprocessors that could only copy to/from "chip ram".

Several of the Mac clients can now dial into my machine and access IP services (telnet, www etc), both within the local network and out via our router to the wider internet. This is on a box running 2.1-stable. So far so good. I thought this was too easy. However, every time one of the clients shuts down their PPP connection, my pppd dies as well. This is obviously rather bad, as it means that no one else can connect. >From my reading of the pppd man page, and the section relating to server mode ppp in the handbook, this seems to be the opposite of what should happen. As far as I can tell, the daemon is supposed to stay up until it is explicitly killed. Off the top of my head, I can think of two possible solutions. One would be to list pppd in /etc/ttys, and leave init responsible for restarting pppd. A quick trial of this leads to a slew of getty repeating too quickly on port %s, sleeping The other solution would be to run getty on the modem port, and have logins from a particular user run pppd as their shell. Experimenting with that I see a wad of pppd[1535]: ioctl(TIOCSCTTY): Operation not permitted messages from syslog, which suggests to me I may be barking up the wrong tree. Any suggestions from the folks in the know? If I get this working then I'll write it up for the handbook (as the entry in there seems to hark back to the days of 2.0).

This means that getty and pppd aren't agreeing with how the line should be setup. - Make sure /etc/rc.serial sets the line speed and everything else correctly on bootup. - Make sure /etc/ttys is using the correct speed for the getty (the same as used in /etc/rc.serial) - Make sure the modem is hard-coded to the correct getty speed. - Make sure 'normal' logins work fine (ie; w/out starting up ppp) - Have the login shell for the PPP users be a shell script that starts up PPP.

You can copy the disks as many times as you want using rawrite. If you are trying to replace the kernel with a modified verion, you will have to recompile the build environment. This doesn't take recompiling the wholedistribution, but it takes some work, and you will need to research how to do this in the handbook or the questions archives on the WWW server.

And if so... what is the top limit? Yes. There is a hard limit and there is a soft limit. The soft limit can be changed by using the "limit" or "unlimit" or other shell-specific command, since the program inherits the value from the shell (process) from which it is run. The Hard limit (and soft limit defaults, for daemons, etc.) require you to recompile the kernel after modifying header files. NB: the header file limits are there for a reason for most limits, like physical page table entries and fixed size kernel structure; the per process open file table limit is there because the BASH shell starts at the end of limit space and works back to avoid fd collisions instead of Doing The Right Thing and changing the fd used to open the shell script file *when* the collision actually occurs. Read /sys/i386/conf/LINT for details. The top limit is limited by memory. NB2: If you are using buffered I/O (stdio's 'f' functions, like "fopen" instead of "open", "fread" instead of "read", etc.), stdio has traditionally been limited to using 256 file descriptors. This is why most server programs do *not* use stdio. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

No. The on-board DMA controller is on the local memory bus and therefore does not suffer the same access limitations as if it were on the I/O bus. Typically, the only device which may use this is the built-in FDC on most systems, and that's useless because the FDC chips in Intel hardware wither have no FIFO whatsoever, or an 8 or 16 character FIFO, but the fact is undetectable without crashing the hardware without the FIFO. In any case, "hostmaster" DMA will not have the problem because it will only access device memory from system space instead of system memory from device space. Device memory, by definition, is mapped to locations accessable to the devices. 8-).

By causing your expensive, fast, processor to buzz-loop on port addresses for your cheap, slow, devices waiting for "data-ready" bits to become active, just like "Programmed I/O" in any other OS. Tying up your expensive, fast, processor, when it could be better utilized doing tings like adding numbers or otherwise executing code in the L1 cache (which on a P5/166 system is 5 times more efficient than accessing crappy device registers on a 33MHz EISA or PCI bus -- assuming you aren't doing PIO to an ISA device, in which case it's 8MHz and L1 is ~21 times as efficient as doing PIO). Good reason to use bus-mastering devices, don't you think? A fast machine doing PIO is the moral equivalent of hiring Dirty Harry as a cop, then assigning him duty as a crossing guard...

Yes, something like $ split -b1440k filename filename. will split filename into 1.44M files called filename.aa, filename.ab, and so on.

(I think that is what that option is called.) Apparently, when it tries again, sysinstall will try some other directories and find the ones on the CDROM properly.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings. I'm having trouble, once again, getting telnet to function. I had this problem once before, but lost the installation before I documented what I had done to solve it. (Duh!) What is happening, is telnets into this machine are connecting, but are not alowing me to login. Usually, this is manifest by two identification lines, followed by two login: prompts. However, before you can attempt to login, it disconnects. Occasionally, it tells me that login_tty is denied. The termcap and the gettytab files are as they came installed from the 2.1R disc. The ttys file reads: ttyp0 "usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt50 on insecure for the first 5 ttyp's. I have tried with the std.19200 and 38400 settings, as well as the vt100 and ansi. Any thoughts? I promise to document it this time. :) Also, if anyone has any information about setting up ppp to connect and route to a ISP on demand of other users on the local TCP/IP network, I'd love to get references to books, etc. :) Thanks a ton, Ben bwern@jaxnet.com or bwern@unf.edu Try New and Improved Jello: V 2.0 "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be."

If I remember rightly, these programs both have restrictive copyrights and can only be distributed from one site. If you go to /usr/ports/comms/{kermit, zmodem} and type 'make', it will automatically pull the source down from the relevant site and compile it for you (assuming you're on the Net at the time).

There's a posting I saved from Usenet last month at the end of this message. Another alternative is to run the installation program (it's /stand/sysinstall), use the partition and fdisk editors to set up the new disk and use the 'w' option to write them to the disk. Make sure you quit before it starts actually installing anything, though! If you're worried about damaging your existing disk, you could remove/disconnect it, boot off an installation floppy and setup the new disk in the same way. (Disclaimer - I don't have a second disk, I haven't tried any of these procedures myself and I don't know if any of them actually work. Make sure you have everything backed up before you start) From: Ron Bolin Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Howto Add a 2nd SCSI Disk, example Date: Thu, 28 Mar 1996 07:05:55 -0500 Organization: Federated Systems Group Lines: 32 Message-ID: <315A80A3.41C67EA6@mindspring.com> Just for documentation purposes, I figured out how to add a second SCSI disk (with Sean Fagan's tip). Here is the basics with an example of adding sd2 (on my system sd0 is for NT, sd1 is freebsd, sd2 is the 2nd freebsd disk I want to add): 1. Figure out your disk parameters and make an entry in /etc/disktab. For me it was a st12400n. 2. Zero out the boot block of the new disk with: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd2 bs=1k count=1 3. fdisk -u /dev/rsd2, and update necessary info in the partition you wish to use. I used partion 3 (aka /dev/sd2c). 4. disklabel -rw /dev/sd2 st12400n. 5. newfs -T st12400n /dev/rsd2c. 6. run fsck /dev/rsd2c. 7. mount disk on a valid mount point. 8. add entry to /etc/fstab for automount. Hope this helps anyone that needs to add a second SCSI disk. -Ron From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 25 18:55:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id SAA28049 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 18:55:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.164]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id SAA28044 for ; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 18:55:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id SAA25559; Thu, 25 Apr 1996 18:37:12 -0700 Date: Thu, 25 Apr 1996 18:37:12 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Mitch Shaw cc: "'FreeBSD Mailing List'" Subject: Re: Having problems with fvwm95 In-Reply-To: <01BB2FBA.BC2FEAA0@dal1-15.conline.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, 21 Apr 1996, Mitch Shaw wrote: > Anybody know where I can get the lib "libc.so.3.0" ?

As promised, I've written it up for the handbook. I'd appreciate anyone who's knowledgable in these areas to take a quick look over the included text in case I've made any glaring errors. Also, if anyone's about to try and setup server ppp, perhaps they could look through this and suggest improvements about anything that's not clear? I'll give it until Wednesday next week, then submit it to doc. N Configuring FreeBSD to act as a PPP server. By Nik Clayton (nik@blueberry.co.uk), based on additional information supplied by Nate Williams (nate@sri.mt.net) The Theory Consider two machines, 'A' and 'B'. 'A' is the server. It has it's own connection to the Internet (or an intranet), runs FreeBSD, and has at least one modem attached. 'B' is the client, running some form of PPP client software. 'B' will dial into 'A'. At which point it is presented with some form of login and password prompt. After succesfully authenticating 'B', the ppp server is started on 'A'. A route is added on 'A' to allow packets to flow from 'A' to 'B' and back again and (optionally) 'A' proxies ARP (address resolution protocol) requests for 'B' so that 'B' can get off the local network and on to the wider Internet. The Implementation 1. Configure 'A' to allow dial-up access. See section 10.4 in this handbook for information on how to do this. You must be able to successfully dial in to 'A', type in the username and password of someone on the system and be allowed in before you can proceed any further. Don't forget to configure the modem to autoanswer. 2. Include the 'ppp' device on A. While it is possible to use the 'user-mode' PPP program (iijppp) to act as a server, received wisdom does not recommend this, particularly if 'A' will be spending a large portion of it's time as a server. This document does not address using 'iijppp' as the server. pppd requires a kernel interface, 'ppp0' to work. At the very least, add the line pseudo-device ppp 1 to your kernel config file (something similar to this, but commented out, may already be there). This will create one ppp interface (called ppp0) if you plan on allowing more than one connection then replace '1' with the number of active connections you want. Rebuild and re-install the kernel. Section 5 has more information on the steps necessary. Note that on rebooting the pppn devices are not shown at boot time. To confirm the device has been installed, login, and as root type ifconfig ppp0 which should return text similar to ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 3. Configure the pppd software. The interface is only half the story. The PPP daemon 'pppd' must be run on each succesfull connection to provide PPP services. pppd's configuration file is /etc/ppp/options. Create this file if it doesn't already exist. It should look like this: proxyarp crtscts w.x.y.z: auth +pap login modem netmask 255.255.255.0 domain foo.bar passive You can alter some of these options depending on your local requirements. In order, these options mean: proxyarp - pppd will add an entry in the system ARP table for the host that has connected (B). This is essential to allow traffic from 'B' to get off the local network. crtscts - Use hardware flow control w.x.y.z: - replace this with the IP address of 'A' auth - 'B' *must* authenticate itself before network packets will be sent or received. +pap - 'B' *must* use PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) to do the authentication. This is a fairly common method of authentication. You can also +chap, to use CHAP authentication. Or you can turn these options off. 'man pppd' has more information. login - Use the passwd file as the 'secrets' file for PAP or CHAP authentication. This allows users to authenticate themselves using their existing user IDs and passwords. If you do not do this then you can create a file (called a 'secrets' file) which contains equivalent information. Again, 'man pppd' goes into more detail on this topic. modem - Use the modem control lines. I'm unsure of the effect this has, but it doesn't seem to hurt. Perhaps someone could provide more information for this. netmask 255.255.255.0 - This is the netmask for the connection. Use whatever netmask you already use for the local network. domain foo.bar - Replace 'foo.bar' with your domain name passive - pppd will try and initiate the conversation with 'B'. If no reply is received then pppd will wait, rather than immediately quitting. This useful for noisy lines, or where 'B' is slow in responding. 4. Test the above Pick a modem line on which you are not running a getty. If you don't have any free then turn off one of the gettys in /etc/ttys, send a HUP signal to init to do so. Assume this is the first modem line on the system. Then run pppd speed /dev/ttyd0 -detach replace 'speed' in the above with the port speed you use. Use whatever speed you have in the getty line in /etc/ttys. For example, if you normally start a getty on /dev/ttyd0 with the std.115200 profile then run pppd 115200 /dev/ttyd0 -detach This will run pppd, and it won't detach from the terminal. This is good. Now configure your client software on 'B'. Things to watch for with this configuration involve how much information the client program is expecting to receive. Specifically, the client should be configured with it's own IP address. It should not rely on the server to send it down. The client should be told 'A's IP address (w.x.y.z in the config file above). 'B' should now attempt to dial into 'A'. When the line is answered pppd should notice this. If you are watching this on 'B' you'll see data that looks like random garbage (with lots of '}' characters in it) coming down the line. This is 'A' asking 'B' to authenticate itself. The software on 'B' will probably prompt for a username and password pair. Recall that we are using PAP to authenticate the connection, and that the /etc/passwd file is being used, so you must enter the username and password of someone on your system. If it is accepted then the PPP connection should come fully up. You should be able to telnet from 'B' to 'A'. In fact, you should be able to do anything on 'B' that you could do on 'A'. If you could telnet to other hosts on your network from 'A' then try doing that from 'B'. If you could browse the Web from 'A' then get some browser software onto 'B' and try that as well. This should all work. If it's working correctly, then hang up the line from 'B'. You should notice back on 'A' that pppd has returned to the shell prompt. pppd exits once the connection is finished. This is normal. 5. Final configuration All that remains now is to setup things up so that pppd runs on connection, and is restarted when a connection is dropped. To do this, you need to create a ppp user. The username is unimportant, but the shell is very important. Edit the password file on 'A', and create a line something like this: ppp::1020:1000::0:0:PPP login:/etc/ppp:/etc/ppp/ppp-login Obviously set the UID and GID to whatever is appropriate on your system. Also, give it a password if that's what you want. Notice that this accounts home directory is set to /etc/ppp (which doesn't really matter, the home directory is never used) and the login shell for this account is /etc/ppp/ppp-login. You need to create this program. Create the file /etc/ppp/ppp-login, and place the following commands into it #!/bin/sh # # PPP login script PATH=:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin export PATH mesg n stty -tostop exec pppd 115200 debug Don't forget to make this shell script executable. Essentially, whenever anyone logs in with the 'ppp' username, messaging is turned off, SIGTTOU is turned off for background output (see stty(1)) and then the pppd program is executed over the top of it. We specify the speed of the connection (make sure this matches the other speeds you've set earlier on) and debugging is turned on, allowing connection information to be logged. Don't forget to turn the getty on /dev/ttyd? back on (if you turned it off for testing earlier). 6. Final configuration and testing Go back to 'B'. Edit the client software configuration so that on connection it waits for the string 'ogin:', and sends the string 'ppp'. It should then wait for the string 'assword:', and send back whatever password you set for the 'ppp' account. Make the connection to 'A'. If all goes well then the client software will dial up 'A'. The 'getty' running on 'A' will then send the 'login:' and 'Password:' prompts. In response to these the client will then send the username 'ppp' and the password you've set. If this validates then /etc/ppp/ppp-login will then be run. This runs the pppd daemon, completing the connection. Congratulations, you should now have a working PPP connection. When 'B' drops the connection, pppd on 'A' will die. 'init' will notice this, and another getty will be spawned to watch for incoming connections. At which point another client can log in. And so on. Common problems I get "pppd [pid]: ioctl(TIOCSCTTY): Operation not permitted" errors when pppd starts up. pppd and getty have different ideas about the options on the communications port, probably the speed is different. Double check that the speed assigned to the port is the same in /etc/rc.serial, /etc/ttys and /etc/ppp/ppp-login. When testing pppd (without getty, i.e., step 4 above) I can connect OK, but pppd just sends down repeated '`' (backtick) characters. Again, a speed problem. Double check that they match. Things you might want to experiment with The setup outlined above assumes that you have IP addresses permanently assigned to machines. It's possible to have pppd assign IP addresses on demand. Or you might want an IP address to be assigned depending on which user authenticates themself. All sorts of clever bits and pieces can be done. Unfortunately, I don't know how, since it's fairly simple environment in which I use pppd. However, if you've got some examples that you want to share then send them on and I'll include (with appropriate credit of course). -- --+=[ Blueberry Hill Blueberry Design ]=+-- --+=[ http://www.blueberry.co.uk/ 1/9 Chelsea Harbour Design Centre, ]=+-- --+=[ WebMaster@blueberry.co.uk London, England, SW10 0XE ]=+-- --+=[ Don't anthropomorphize computers.

The WIDE dhcp server (ftp://sh.wide.ad.jp/WIDE/free-ware/dhcp/) version 1.3beta is now serving static and dynamic BOOTP and DHCP addresses for all our subnets on campus; it required minor mods to the preprocessor #if's to get it to compile on FreeBSD, but then it worked fine. It was picky about its file format, though -- see http://www.dsu.edu/departments/compute/docs/win95lab/win95lab4.html for my little bit of docs regarding the WIDE dhcp server installation.

Unfortunately, the 2.1R book disk doesn't work with the 3c589[C] model, which came out after 2.1R was released. It does work in -stable and -current, but that doesn't help you know. There are two solutions to the problem. 1) Use the Nomad-PC-CARD boot floppy to install FreeBSD. http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa/freebsd-pcmcia/ 2) Use the SNAP boot floppy to install FreeBSD. This will be on ftp.freebsd.org in the snap directory. Any of the newer SNAP will work fine. > Any hints, ideas, thrashings, etc. will be strongly appreciated. It should work fine once you get 2.1R installed and you upgrade to either -current or -stable. '-stable' is *safer* in that it's intended to be more stable, but -current has beta support for hot-swap PC-CARD support, which may or may not interest you. (There is support for other ethernet cards, modems, and the like.)

Part of this project will involve setting up various servers (SNMP, HTTP, FTP, etc.) and am intrested in evaluating the varous low cost flavours of UNIX. The two most popular seem to be FreeBSD and various distributions of LINUX. Concerning FreeBSD, many commercial packages state that they will run on BSD (as well as a variety of other flavours of UNIX). Does this also mean that they will run on FreeBSD? I´m a little confused about the differences between FreeBSD and 'full' BSD. As you might guess with trying to set up an HTTP server I´m looking into publishing on the web and am not certain whether to use a product called Apache which seems popular (and is free) or buy Netscape servers which is one of the reasons why I´m trying to find out more about FreeBSD and the differences from the full commercial version of BSD.

First off I guess I should say this might get quite involved, so be warned. Does the card work? Simple question, but you need to be sure. Novell, or some other NOS should be a sufficient test. Don't just rely on the 3Com diagnostic tool. Second do you run it in MS-DOS at all? If so, do you use 'Card Services'. This is a pile of automated stuff that (alegedly) sorts out IRQ lines etc when running under DOS. You can fairly easily check this, because the main install program on the EtherDisk warns you that it can't find card services when it starts up. Either way, support for Card Services (PC Card) style configuration is v. patchy in FBSD at the moment, so we won't use it in this example. This means you're going to need to find out the PC-host hardware settings your PCMCIA card has. Probably the easiset way to do this is boot off a clean DOS floppy (FORMAT a: /s) so there is definately no Card Services running and run the EtherDisk again. Check that you get the 'No Card Services' warning and proceed. Trundle into the config program and display Card Info (single scrollable window, no editable fields) (its about 4 layers into the program). Make a note of the IRQ, IO Base and Memory segment (number like 0xde000). If any of these directly conflict with an essential piece of hardware, now's the time to change them and save the settings. Exit that and reboot the FBSD install floppy. Use '-c' of course. I then recommend visual, but whether you use that or not I'd then suggest the following. Turn off _everything_ you don't have, especially ze0 Make sure the zp0 IRQ, IO Base and Memory are correct. (I had to change the Memory setting). The IRQ also conflicted with one from the COM ports, so I turned all of them off (sio0-3) just to be extra cautious. Save and quit. Let the boot go through. Scroll back and check that zp0 has picked up the Ethernet Address (00:a0:26:df:90:45 or something like) in the boot messages. you should then get 'zp0' as a fourth option in the Media selection menus. Finally, if you want to use the BNC connector on the little adapter thingy you'll need to give these extra options to ifconfig (both during install and in /etc/sysconfig) -link0 link1 which I've not found documented anywhere, but it turns of the RJ port and enables the BNC one. If your connector has ports other than the two I had (RJ and BNC) then you may have to play around a bit more. But quite frankly, if you've got the kernel probe to recognize your card then this is only a minor problem. When you want to install X windows there's another couple of silly hoops to go through, but I'm sure the guys (and gals) out here will help. Please, please, please let me know how you get on and whether any of this makes any sense.

I have 2 domains registered and I AM ANXIOUS to get back to using a real os. I tried a lot of server/perl/html editors on windows and 95.

I realize that this is not really a FreeBSD question but since I know that many of the people on this list are either very knowledgeable about TCP/IP or have even written code for FreeBSD's implementation of TCP/IP, I thought I'd try here first. I'm not necessarily looking for someone to directly answer my question, pointers to further information on this topic would be greatly appreciated. I would like to have some factual information on this topic because there are these Microsoft-brainwashed weenies here at my school that were claiming that NetBEUI was better than TCP/IP because xxx, and because yyy. I want to be able to claim that TCP/IP is better because xxx, and also because yyy. xxx and yyy would of course be reasons provided by somebody on the list or from some other source.

(based much more on my general knowlege of PC hardware -- and not at all on any knowlege of FreeBSD code). The original designs for AT class machines couldn't address more then 24M of RAM -- and couldn't handle more than about 12M on a motherboard. The DMA chips used in this design can only access the first 16M of address space. Any OS that can support more than 16M of RAM on a PC architecture must therefore provide a mechanism (bounce buffers, translation buffers, whatever) to ensure that all DMA (disk access) is initially directed into the first 16M of physical address space (DMA chips don't participate in virtualization). Generally this is accomplished by directing the DMA into the first 16M of physical address space and virtualizing it back to the process address space. One of the key performance issues for kernel designers (and the designers of DOS memory management and DOS extenders products) is to minimize the need to "double buffer" -- Quarterdeck's phrase for: "transfer in and copy out of the lower address space." Basically it's one of the warts that the PC architecture as developed in it's old age. This is a natural effect of growing *far* beyond your initial design. Remember that the high end P6 with 128M of RAM and 8Gig of disk space is still essentially the same architecture as the original 16K PC (8088) with the audio cassete deck for it's storage medium. Worse still the last major change in the motherboard hardware was with the introduction of the AT. The timer chips, floppy controllers, DMA controllers, interrupt controllers and other support circuitry are largely unchanged (though most have been consolidated into a small number of actual chips -- the register/control interfaces are the same).

You should then be able to inc (incorporate) your mail locally. I've done things on some system like: get my mail spool via ftp, append it to the local spool and elm or inc it. I've also used a need trick to take all my elm folders and "convert" them to mh (just cat them all >> to the spool of course). My first guess as to why it's not working relates to passwork problems. Have you tried 'telnet resnet pop-3' (port 110) and using the: USER and PASS commands to confirm your ability to make a connection.

Im not sure really where to start..so Ill be simple. Im the Operations Engineer at Texas' largest ISP, Phoenix Data Net, and the only ISP to provide satellite links into Central and South america for dollars a day to the general public. We are a $20Mil company teamed with Charter Communications, and are growing rapidly nationally and internationally. We perform many intensive WAN services, and to get to the point, build fully redundant multiprotocol gateways for fortune 100 companies throughout the world. We use FreeBSD to the exclusion of only the DEC Alpha fileservers in our ISP operations globally, and wish to greatly expand our use of FreeBSD into our WAN integration department. We use what is called Cubix equipment. Its is similar to rack mounted PCs, but is built completely around redundancy, whether it be hardware failures, or power events. We ship nearly $4million a year in this hardware, and we see a huge market for FreeBSD as part of the multiprotocol gateways we design with this equipment...mainly as firewall hardware. Cubix is _very_ interested in seeing FreeBSD support for thier hardware, and it would be a great boost to thier sales, which already reach $300Mil a year. I have two people familiar with the FreeBSD development program, John Perry, and Gary Clark within our staff. One as an employee, and the other as contract. I want to know who I can talk to to get some solid resources on contract to develop FreeBSD into Cubix hardware. Cubix hardware is a highly optimized PC, 486 or Pentium(tm) based. Our 486s work great, but the new P's have built in AMD SCSI and 10bT controllers, which FreeBSD does not acknowledge. We are very serious about a team working with this hardware. We belive in FreeBSD, and it is building a solid International presence with is now. Please point me in the right direction.

NetBEUI: o existing standard at some sites o do not need to assign network addresses to machines; machines self identify o overall simpler clinet configuration TCP/IP: o can be routed; your machines can be on the other side of a router or on an IP tunnel over the public internet to create a private intranet. o no "broadcast storms" o offensive machines (for whatever reason) can be tracked by assigned address o offensive machines can be partitioned at router level and identified for illegal use of address (security issues, etc.) o Can interconnect easily with internet o Can run most software requiring NetBEUI over TCP/IP with simple low level stack change (two files publically downladable from the ftp.microsoft.com site) o SL/IP or PPP for remote connectivity over standard modem lines That's without listing by drawbacks, which are much larger for NetBEUI than TCP/IP (example LLC code, etc.).

To look at it, you will have to unbinhex it back to a bin image, then break the image into "resource" and "data" forks, then find a viewer for the data type in the data fork. There's lots of UNIX toold for doing the file manipulation available at gatekeeper.dec.com (and most other FTP sites that do Mac archives).

I've worked with the Cubix equipment in the past on commucations software applications under their SVR3 clone on their little Cubix cubes. Say "Hi" to Mike in developer relations, if he's still there from "Terry at Century Software". (I'm not still there 8-)). The hardware is not significantly different from most PC hardware, and what you are calling a port is probably more properly just a need for drivers to support some of their hardware. The "AMD SCSI and 10bT controllers", are these by chance the AMD PCNet (Am79C974) chips? The AMD PCNet chips "net" is a LANCE ethernet chip. The current ethernet drivers work with this chip without modification, as long as you pick the right IRQ and port addresses. The SCSI portion of this chip is an NCR 780(?) compatible chip... I remember reading a post on one of the lists about a driver being available for the SCSI portion, but I didn't save the thing. Most uncharacteristic of me. 8-(. I also remember that the thing wasn't a very good SCSI chip, according to several posters (sorry, it's what I heard). For embedded servers, you might be better sticking in a seperate controller. If you can't do that, you'll need to order one of the technical manuals on the AMD web page: http://www.amd.com/html/products/com/techdocs/techdocs.html Regards, Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

The only somewhat pure commercial version of BSD is BSDi / BSD-OS (whatever its' called). It (and FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD) are all based on the BSD 4.4 code base, so they are somewhat interoperable. For the record, most anything that will run on BSDi will run on FreeBSD as well.

Apache. Excellent performance, ease of setup and use, somewhat standard (based remotely on NCSAs httpd) and is free. Netscape costs money and isn't much better performancewise. (from what I hear) I'm not up on the secure servers though. You can put together a great Web server for only the cost of hardware and labor, like what Walnut Creek has done. > Any help and enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. Hope this helps.

The retry option does give me more control (thanks for the suggestion) but the ftp still fails to linkup even in the 4 retries. I am able to do both login ftp and anonymous ftp via the fixit disk option from the 2.1 install menu, so perhaps I can understand how to do a manual install -- the extraction shell script for dist/bin looks nicely direct if I can grasp the fixit environment well enough to put stuff in the right places before running it.

FreeBSD *is* 'full' BSD, in that it's derived from 4.4BSD (many commercial Unices, including SunOS.4.x, are derived from its 4.3BSD). What you are probably thinking of is BSDI. This is a commercial OS (cost about $1000, I believe), which is also derived from 4.4BSD. Almost all source code that is intended to be compiled and run on a generic BSD system will successfully compile and run on FreeBSD. FreeBSD is also capable of running binaries compiled on BSDI (and also Linux and SCO, incidentally). This is useful for programs which are only distributed as binaries, such as Netscape's web browser. > As you might guess with trying to set up an HTTP server I´m looking into > publishing on the web and am not certain whether to use a product called > Apache which seems popular (and is free) or buy Netscape servers which is > one of the reasons why I´m trying to find out more about FreeBSD and the > differences from the full commercial version of BSD. Apache is certainly very popular - it seems to have usurped NCSA as the free HTTPD of choice. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Walnut Creek runs Netscape's WWW server to allow people to buy CDROMs over the Web securely (apologies if I'm deceiving myself here). And as I'm sure no-one here needs reminding, they run FreeBSD 8-) > Any help and enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. Hope this helps.

It comes with the basic system, not the ports, so everything should be ready to go - the only complication is if you have re-compiled your kernel without the 'pseudo-device tun 1' line (in which case you'll just have to put it back in and re-compile!)

Under -current, you need to install the Linux compatability package to get the shared libraries; for older FreeBSD code, a kernel recompile is required as well, to Linux compatability. The new code will run ELF or a.out binaries; the old code will only run a.out.

I can't seem to get a valid kernel on the hard disk. I have a 486DX2-66 with a 1.2M drive for A:, a 1.4M drive for B:, a Maxtor 72004 AP (3893 cyl, 16 heads, 63 sec/cyl) as a master hard disk, and a Caviar 2340 (1010, 12, 55) as a slave. There is no CD-ROM drive. I'm installing with two 1.2M floppies (boot.flp and root.flp) and the bin distribution is on the slave disk. My BIOS is old and doesn't support hard disks with more than 1024 cylinders, but an appropriate driver from Maxtor loads itself when I boot from the hard disk; I can then see the slave disk as D:. I've been able to access the entire disk under DOS (5.0) and also under 2.1.0's installation floppy's kernel. No apparent problem there: that kernel sees all of the disk even though the Maxtor driver isn't loaded when booting from a floppy, of course. No problems when partitioning the drive: the 1st slice is 478M big and has DOS 5.0 on it (just enough to boot, no C:\DOS directory). The 2nd slice is the same size and I've given it the type "freebsd". No problems with the Disklabel Editor stuff: wd0s1 478MB DOS wd0s2a / 20MB UFS Y wd0s2b 32MB SWAP wd0s2e /usr 426MB UFS Y Under "Distributions", I select "Clear" because I intend to get the bin distribution from the slave disk (on it, there is a 60MB DOS partition and then a 265MB FreeBSD 2.0.5 partition; in the latter's filesystem, I've stored the bin.?? files I'll need; I intend to extract the bindist myself). Under the "Media" menu, I don't know precisely what to choose, since I don't want to extract any distribution. When I select "Commit", the installation starts well but at some point it starts complaining that it doesn't find a kernel image to link to on the root file system. Other times, it complains about not finding the root image. This is confusing because I don't always follow the program's reasoning. Things seemed to be easier before the installation procedure was made user-friendly... I've tried select "DOS partition" as the "media" and putting boot.flp and root.flp in C:\FREEBSD\FLOPPIES, C:\FREEBSD and C:\, but all those tries failed. I also tried with floppies as the media with a DOS 1.2M floppy with root.flp on it but that failed too. So I don't know what it is exactly the procedure is looking for. Am I attempting the impossible?

My machine: Cyrix 486DX100 VESA MB Diamond SVGA 16MB RAM Hard Drive C: - 840MB EIDE Hard Drive D: - 200MB IDE HD Controller - EIDE Misumi ATAPI CDROM I configured d:/ with a small DOS Partition (5mb) and gave the rest to FreeBSD using your "novice" installation menu from view.exe. What I intended to do is install FreeBSD onto the smaller D: drive and leave C: untouched. Hoping that I would be able to select between the two drives, and the OS's they hold, at boot up. I followed the directions in what I thought was a correct manner and upon completion/reboot I get a blank system screen with only a "NO ROM BIOS LOADED" message in the upper right corner. Subsequent reboots result in the same unless I use a DOS formatted boot floppy. What I assume is happening is that the install program is overwriting the boot sector of C: where I have Win95 installed exclusively. I have tested the drive geometry for both drives and have found no discrepencies with what the install program states. I have also tried several installations with/without the various "bootmanager" options. All with the same effect. Fortunately I am always able to recover by reinstalling Win95 onto c: (the FAT remains unharmed) and can subsequently boot into FreeBSD by use of a floppy created by makeflp. However, at the "boot:" prompt I have to enter wd(1,a)/kernel to bypass the "view" program. This convoluted method seems to work except that I constantly get "not enough disk space" errors when trying to view man pages even though there is over 100mb of free space on the FBSD partition. Should I delete the DOS partitions while in the label editor program part of the installation?? Or will such an action litteraly delete those partitions even to DOS?? Please offer any advice that you can think of. Or perhaps relay to me a good book on the subject that I can purchase somewhere.

Yes, this is what happened, if you chose to install the boot manager at install time. This was a mistake, if that's what you did. This is covered in both the release notes and the handlbook. To recover, you will need to boot either a DOS disk, or the emergency boot floppy Windows 95 has you make when you install Windows95. After booting, run the fdisk program. A) If there is a DOS partition of some kind, set it active, and this will fix the Windows95 boot (though it will ask if you want to boot DOS. B) If there is not a DOS partition of some kind shown, then you will need to reinstall the OnTrack boot manager that came with your system. Then you will need to boot Windows 95 and "Shutdown to DOS prompt", and use the DOS installation for OS-BS to install the boot selector. > I have tested the drive geometry for both drives and have found no > discrepencies with what the install program states.

This is because there is no active, valid partition on C: because the boot manager tried to make FreeBSD activem but FreeBSD wasn't installed on that drive. > Fortunately I am always able to recover by reinstalling Win95 onto > c: (the FAT remains unharmed) and can subsequently boot into FreeBSD > by use of a floppy created by makeflp.

The FreeBSD disk is split into several pieces, generally. At least one for "/" and one for "/usr".

(extra-lame) There is a program you can install as a print filter for the BSD system. It is part of the Samba package. As long as the NT system serves printers via SMB (LAN Manager), not just NetBEUI, then you will be able to install the print filter. Samba is in the ports and can be installed vi the normal install method for ported software. It includes documentation on how to set up the /etc/printcap file on FreeBSD.

If it's an 8bit card, you might have a 16bit card that is conflicting with it in the same 128K address space (long story, basically ISA is really weird when it comes to 8/16bit selection; it's on 128K boundries). It's probably caused by your video card. You might try setting your display card to 8bit...or get a different (16bit) ethernet card. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Apr 27 08:14:08 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id IAA20626 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 27 Apr 1996 08:14:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from rocky.sri.MT.net (rocky.sri.MT.net [204.182.243.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id IAA20619 for ; Sat, 27 Apr 1996 08:14:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nate@localhost) by rocky.sri.MT.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id JAA24338; Sat, 27 Apr 1996 09:13:52 -0600 Date: Sat, 27 Apr 1996 09:13:52 -0600 From: Nate Williams Message-Id: <199604271513.JAA24338@rocky.sri.MT.net> To: "H.

Gee, this is becoming a FAQ. :) Under FreeBSD 2.1R, the 3C589C (which is a newer model) is not supported. This model was released after 2.1R, and a patch to the driver is now in -current and -stable, but obviously didn't make it into 2.1. There are a couple of solutions. - Use a floppy from a newer SNAP. You can use newer floppies to install older releases. - Use the 'Nomad' boot floppy, which has support for PC-CARD. Most (not all) of this code now exists in -current, but that doesn't help you now.

As you obviously suspect, the first place to look is at the control character settings. While you're trying to enter the password, do a stty -f /dev/modem -a from another terminal and check what it shows. Probably the information will tell you what the problem is--otherwise let me know and I'll try to guess.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings. Last frivolous question. Really. I promise. I have a NEC 4x IDE CDROM that I installed from, and it worked just fine and dandy until I shutdown for an extended vacation. When I brought it back up and tried to mount, I got this: "cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Invalid argument" mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom also produced the same effect. Every third or forth try, it quietly mounts (including a quick check of the disc). However, when I cd to it, the dir is completely blank. mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom told me that the device wasn't configured, and when I tried to MAKEDEV, it told me "bad unit for disc in: cd0a" Any thoughts?

Is the CD audio output being routed through your sound card before going to the speakers? If so, you haven't compiled a kernel for FreeBSD that has the appropriate drivers and your sound card isn't being initialised. Most sound cards default to having no output when reset by power on / hard reset. (AFAIK) Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD - Turning PC's into workstations.

What version of the X server are you running? Unless it's quite recent (i.e. before XFree86 3.12) you'll be relying on the malloc()/free() in libc, which in 2.1-stable and before had a problem in that it didn't return memory to the system until the process exited. As Netscape does intensive bitmap requests to the server, it tends to do quite a lot of malloc()ing and free()ing, resulting in a creeping memory usage. Depending on BSDI's malloc(), Netscape itself could have the same problem. Partial Solution: either relink your X server to use -lgnumalloc, or upgrade to a later version which is linked with GNU malloc already. Messy Solution: quit X every so often and reload it. The problem is addressed in 2.2 which a new malloc/free (phkmalloc), but since Netscape is statically linked on BSDI's BSD/OS, we depend on them having a non-leaking malloc...

I believe so. I all depends of course... if you malloc several hundred 70 byte chunks and then free one, you won't see a difference as you will need to free at least one page before the OS can resuse it (i.e. 4k on i386s).
