Maybe you need to first create that directory with a "mkdir -p /usr/local/bin". Look at the permission of kermit, i have found that just as "-r--r--r--" on my server, so you need to do a "chmod +x kermit" so that you can call it and then simply use it. Something like "/usr/local/bin/kermit" should give you the running kermit. Read the shell man page with a "man csh" how to set your "path" so that you can also call it later with a simple "kermit".

My port 330 is used by Soundblaster's MIDI. It depends on the FreeBSD version on the CDROM :-). If it is FreeBSD 2.0, you can type at the boot prompt a "-c" and are landing in a configuration utility for the drivers. type a "?" or "help" at this prompt to see the commands. I think you need to type in a "port aha0 0x130", but i am not exactly sure about the correct command. Don't forget, you need to do this everytime at the boot until you can built a custom kernel and make that permament. Another idea would be to set back the Adaptec to its defaults and change the MIDI port of the soundblaster to another address.

Look if you are running some unnecessary daemons you don't need. If you don't have a printer online kill the lpd. If you don't read mail on this machine, kill sendmail :-). If you don't need nfs, check if the nfsd or nfsiod. If you are working with a default route you don't need to run routed. And built a custom kernel if you are running with a generic kernel now. For a "small memory" :-) machine like yours this also helps. Use the GENERIC kernel as a template and throw out all drivers you don't need.

Yes, expected behaviour :-). The running X-server and the xterms most likely blocks the unmount of the /usr filesystem. So the system can't shutdown cleanly. If you exit from X and login as superuser the unmount's of the filesystems suceeds and all is well.

I think the /dev/fd1.1440 (/dev/fd1 ) or for your case the /dev/fd0.1440 ( /dev/fd0 ) stems from System V. They try to differentiate between the devices. It may be useful to use these long names, if you want to write to a floppy in another format than the default one. So, if you want to write a 720K floppy in a 1.44Mb drive. Then the name will choose the right format. The /dev/fd0.720 should produce on write a 720Kb floppy and the /dev/fd0.1440 should write a 1.44Mb floppy for a 3.5" drive. For reads it shouldn't matter, the driver should detect it :-). You see the word should :-), i have not tested it yet.

Printing from 2.0-RELEASE on a parallel printer on a P90 on device /dev/lpt0... When printing on this device the printer seems to print at a rate of somewhere between one and two characters per second. It should be said that it does print exactly the right thing just very, VERY, VERY slowly... The cables and printer seem to be alright (from DOS it prints at about 80-100 characters per second). Could lpd have been "nice'd" somehow down far too low or something similar ? I should probably also mention that FreeBSD is running with XFree86 and every other application seems to run without any speed problems either in single user mode or under X. The printcap entry simply lists the device as /dev/lpt0 (which I have re-MAKEDEV'd to check) without any filters or special abilities setup. 2.) I tried to install tcl/tk and XF and whenever I attempt to execute the wish interpreter I get back an error stating unable to initialise "tk_library" whatever that is...

Well, here's a summary of what I've discovered so far... pine does support remote mail, but using a different mechanism than POP. POP itself is defined in a couple of RFCs (POP2 in RFC937, POP3 in RFC1225). Thanks to everyone who responded, I've discovered several POP clients. I ended up installing "popclient", a program written at Viginia Tech. It's included in the Linux Slackware distribution, and archie should find it for you. I found it at: ftp://ftp.uoknor.edu:/mirrors/Linux/slackware_source/n/tcpip/popclient-2.21.tar.gz It supports POP[23] and lets me read the received mail with mail/elm, so I'm happy. Someone else sent me a perl POP client, which was pretty spiffy. I'd like to play with it, but it uses the chat2.pl library, which I can't seem to find... I'll have to look into that, next.

I can connect to my PPP server, establish an IP address (The server allocates them), and apparently have a valid connection. Every time I try to use the connection, though, packets seem to be getting lost. If I try a telnet session, for instance, it will go for long periods of time without a response, and then it will come through. i.e. (Key hit) (Wait 1-60seconds) (Key appears on screen). The same sort of thing appears to happen to FTP and http. (Watching the modem lights, I see LONG pauses when transferring files.) Even weirder...I can usually ping with no packet loss. The connection is through a Xyplex terminal server, which has had no problems connecting up to Trumpet Winsock (Windows) or MacPPP (Mac), so it's probably not solely a server problem. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Derek Inksetter derek@mfa.com Lead Systems Programmer Mchugh Freeman & Associates PGP Fingerprint:1D 00 58 71 FE 12 8B FD 18 01 DC A7 7E 36 D1 CC ---------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 13 02:37:16 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id CAA00957 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 13 Mar 1995 02:37:16 -0800 Received: from mail.euronet.nl (mail.euronet.nl [193.67.112.150]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id CAA00947 for ; Mon, 13 Mar 1995 02:37:13 -0800 Received: from p39.euronet.nl (p39.euronet.nl [193.67.112.199]) by mail.euronet.nl (8.6.4.1/A/UX 3.1) with SMTP id LAA03435 for ; Mon, 13 Mar 1995 11:37:07 +0100 Date: Mon, 13 Mar 1995 11:37:07 +0100 Message-Id: <199503131037.LAA03435@mail.euronet.nl> X-Sender: jg@mail.euronet.nl Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@FreeBSD.org From: jg@euronet.nl (Jan_Guldemond) Subject: SLIP dialup X-Mailer: Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm configuring my FreeBSD machine to handle dialup SLIP-logins from our customers.

Everything is now working great (well, almost, my video card is not supported directly...yet...so I only have vga). Also, the DOS partitions that I did not do anything to while in fdisk or with disklabel aren't accessible. I've lost the ability to boot DOS! This is very important to me so I can help my mom with her programming classes(long distance). I don't want to have to re-install again if I don't have to. Both the FreeBSD 2.0 "/" partition (slice) and the primary DOS partition are on one disk. The rest of FreeBSD 2.0 is on the second drive. Disklabel recognizes the Primary DOS partition but not the extended DOS partition. Can anyone make a suggestion as to what steps I might take to fix my problem? How do I get the boot manager to recognize another OS when it is added to the system?

We have the FreeBSD box (486, 33mhz, 8megs RAM) and an I/O board sending a continuous stream of data to COM1 (/dev/tty00). It seems that interrupts are building in a buffer if they are not handled fast enough. Instead of the buffer overflowing or interrupts being lost, the tty interfaces lock, but the system continues to function (for example, httpd still runs). As soon as we kill the program(s) that are sending and receiving data thru tty00, or we disconnect the external I/O source the ttys free up. We use fopen("/dev/tty00", "r+") to move data to and from the port.

We've done this in the past by setting one modem up for answer and one for originate, then doing "ato" on the originate to start the call. The modems also have to be set up for leased line operation. In our case, we used ZyXel modems with both bare copper and equalized 4-wire circuits (for the 2 wire circuits we had to "fool" the ZyXels into thinking they had a 4-wire circuit, even though the manuals SAID they could deal with 2-wire circuits.)

I called the ACC Bookstore about 3 weeks ago, and was told the port for 2.0 would be done "in two weeks." I called back today and was told that the port for 2.0 would be done "in two weeks" because they "ran into some technical problems porting to 2.0." By the time their 2.0 port is out,FreeBSD 2.1 will be out.

You are probably running into the problem that newfs doesn't allocate large enough cylinder groups for a drive with that type of translation. If you are trying the SNAP, then I guess a nuke is in your future, but I know of at least two people who have doen this sucessfully under SNAP. -- Justin T.

If you want to poke around with the core you can used gdb with the first param being the executable, and second being the core.

No. I don't mean let you forcely move from pppd to ppp. But either one I think we might need to more information from you. and currently I am working on /usr/sbin/ppp with author for FreeBSD and other platform.

I notice some time ago some questions about printing with filtering on a remote network printer. I worked out a solution with the well known and fairly good apsfilter-4.8.1 (aps-481.tgz on ftp.Germany.EU.net in pub/os/Linux/Local.EUnet/People/akl). I do a requing with the normal lpr command in apsfilter. lpq and lprm are very simple scripts which access the remote printer by default. The original binaries are renamed to olpq and olprm. Here are the diffs, my sample lprm, lpq, printcap and apsfilterrc files for a PostScript LaserJet IV with a JetDirect network card. Please send me any suggestions fixes or problems. I hope it will work well with your setup too!

The situation is as follows: |-------| |-------| |-------| |Pentium| | DX2-66| | DX2-66| (10 machines) | 66 | | | | | |-------| |-------| |-------| | | | | \--------------/ \--------------/ ethernet ethernet So the middle machine has TWO ethernet-cards to connect the two networks. The most left network is a very small network with only one server, but there will be more machines on that LAN in the near future. The most right LAN is our own office LAN where the normal working stations are. The problem is in the gateway: I have two NE2000 Plus - Eagle cards: ed0: addr.0x280, irq 10 ed1: addr.0x300, irq 11 Every time I boot FreeBSD I have to start with /kernel -c and type: irq ed0 10 irq ed1 11 to set up the ethernet cards. I would have to rebuild the kernel to get these setting permanent. Is there any FAQ or something about rebuilding the kernel?? But the real problem is as follows: I type ifconfig ed0 up ifconfig ed0 193.78.175.2 ifconfig ed1 up ifconfig ed1 193.78.175.3 I get: "ifconfig: ioctl (STOPCAIFADDR): File exists" So something went wrong configuring the second ethernet adapter. But I trief "ifconfig -a", and got: ed0: flags=8863 mtu 1500 inet 193.78.175.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 193.78.175.255 ether 00:00:1b:4f:b9:38 ed1: flags=8863 mtu 1500 inet 193.78.175.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 193.78.175.255 ether 00:00:1b:4f:bd:fc lp0: flags=810 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8009 mtu 65532 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 sl1: flags=c010 mtu 552 So it seems like both ethernet cards are configured. When I look at the routing ("netstat -rn"), I get: Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 193.78.175.1 8:0:0:19:67:32 UHLW 0 1430 ed0 195 193.78.175.2 0:0:1b:4f:b9:38 UHLW 1 8 lo0 224 link#1 UCS 0 0 ed0 -1005 There is no route to all the working stations (193.78.175.0), so I try to add this route ("route add 193.78.175.0 193.78.175.3"). After this when I look at the routing table: Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 193.78.175 193.78.175.3 UGSc 0 0 ed0 193.78.175.1 8:0:0:19:67:32 UHLW 0 1442 ed0 182 193.78.175.2 0:0:1b:4f:b9:38 UHLW 1 8 lo0 224 link#1 UCS 0 0 ed0 -1018 As you can see the route to 193.78.175.0 goes via 193.78.175.3, but the interface is ed0 and not ed1!!! So I deleted the route and tried to add the route with a specific interface ("route add -interface ed1 193.78.175.0 193.78.175.3"), but the systems hangs for a while and then: "ed1: bad value" So it seems like ed1 is not configured. Also because it is not added to the route table with the ethernet-address like ed0 is. When I try to ping the Pentium (193.78.175.1) it works and the Pentium can ping the gateway. But when one of the workstations on the second LAN tries to contact the gateway, the gateway just reboots!!!! Does anyone know why ed1 was not configured correct and how I can rebuild the kernel with the right settings (irq's)??? Thanks!

What you're doing is telling FreeBSD: * I have an interface called 193.78.175.2, and through it you can talk to 193.78.175.* (via the netmask 0xffffff00). * I also have an interface called 193.78.175.3, and through it you can talk to 193.78.175.* (via the netmask 0xffffff00). Hence the "File already exists" message. You cannot have two physically different wires that have the same network (193.78.175.*) on them. This is a TCP/IP issue, not a FreeBSD problem. You should either subnet your network into two portions via the netmasks (e.g. the first wire gets 193.78.175.x for x >= 128, and the second one gets 193.78.175.x for x <= 127), or get a second network. -- Denis Fortin fortin@acm.org DMR Group Inc, (514) 877-3301 These opinions are my own From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 14 01:57:35 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id BAA05534 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 Mar 1995 01:57:35 -0800 Received: from mail.euronet.nl (mail.euronet.nl [193.67.112.150]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id BAA05528 for ; Tue, 14 Mar 1995 01:57:30 -0800 Received: from p324.euronet.nl (p324.euronet.nl [193.67.112.119]) by mail.euronet.nl (8.6.4.1/A/UX 3.1) with SMTP id KAA04608 for ; Tue, 14 Mar 1995 10:57:25 +0100 Date: Tue, 14 Mar 1995 10:57:25 +0100 Message-Id: <199503140957.KAA04608@mail.euronet.nl> X-Sender: jg@mail.euronet.nl Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@FreeBSD.org From: jg@euronet.nl (Jan_Guldemond) Subject: Sources X-Mailer: Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I need to rebuild my kernel, because of some changes to be made in irq-settings.

Also the machine is located in a builiding with no personel, so when the systems crashes I have to drive over. Should I use 2.0, 2.0 (SNAP 2-2), 2.0 (SNAP 10-2), or 1.1.5.1. I've heard that 1.1.5.1 is much more stable than 2.0 (and the SNAP's). Is this true?? I don't use much of the facilities, only the daemons used for an Internet-server, so I don't need the newest version if an older version does what it has to do for me. Any suggestions on what version to use? PLEASE REPLY, so I can make up my mind using your suggestions.

(-: And I'm also experiencing segmentation faults. There's a nice FAQ on installing and running X that I haven't finished but which I recommend to everyone.

( Oh, yeah, set umask first - see FAQ ) (4) tar installation into previously created /usr/X11R6 filesystem, suggested size 50 MB : ( cd /usr/tmp/X11R6 ; tar cf - . ) | ( cd /usr/X11R6 ; tar xvf - ) ( This may be avoidable by setting the DESTDIR variable, so that the installation is placed directly into /usr/X11R6. ) (5) run ranlib on X lib directory (6) Run xf86config ( probably needs to be done a couple of times until everything's just right, unless you have *all* of the specs on your video display, video controller, and mouse ) (7) return to mortal status ( don't want to run X as "root", you will litter /root with .files, erase files accidentally, et caetera ) and start X with the "startx" command ( may need to reset $path and do a rehash [ assuming csh here ] ) I find it useful to collect startx output into a file, so I've done the following in my .cshrc : alias startx '/usr/X11R6/bin/startx >& ./startx_`date +%y%m%d%H%M`' ( or something like that ) ... so that I'm collecting the data from my efforts and not *completely* wasting my time.

(ftp://kryten.atinc.com/pub/rfc/rfc1122). a subnet mask must contain at least 2 bits. (eg 00, 01, 10, 11. the 00 and 11 subnets are reserved for broadcast addresses. the 0 and all-ones host parts are also reserved for boardcast addresses. so subnetting on 2 bits leaves 256 - ( 64 + 64 + 2 + 2 ) == 124 host addresses available, 62 on subnet 01 and 62 on subnet 10. over 50% of the address space is lost. subnetting on more bits improves the ratio, for a while) here are some relevant parts (lightly editted): 3.2.1.3 Addressing: RFC-791 Section 3.2 [deletion] We now summarize the important special cases for Class A, B, and C IP addresses, using the following notation for an IP address: { , } or { , , } and the notation "-1" for a field that contains all 1 bits. This notation is not intended to imply that the 1-bits in an address mask need be contiguous. [deletion] (d) { , -1 } Directed broadcast to the specified network. It MUST NOT be used as a source address. (e) { , , -1 } Directed broadcast to the specified subnet. It MUST NOT be used as a source address. (f) { , -1, -1 } Directed broadcast to all subnets of the specified subnetted network. It MUST NOT be used as a source address. [deletion] !!!!!--> IP addresses are not permitted to have the value 0 or -1 for any of the , , or fields (except in the special cases listed above). !!!!--> This implies that each of these fields will be at least two bits long. For further discussion of broadcast addresses, see Section 3.3.6. A host MUST support the subnet extensions to IP [IP:3]. As a result, there will be an address mask of the form: {-1, -1, 0} associated with each of the host's local IP addresses; see Sections 3.2.2.9 and 3.3.1.1. jmb Jonathan M.

I was orginally trying to connect via kermit to a service provider per the ppp.doc that freeBSD has on there ftp site to establish a ppp connection. The problem I ran into was that when I used the following command in kermit: >set line /dev/sd0a I got the following error: Sorry, can't open connection: /dev/sd0a: Device not configured So I thought the next step might be to quit kermit and try configuring the port. the only info I could find in refrence to configuring ports was the ifconfig command. I'm pretty sure its the correct one. That is in part why I'm writing. Is it? Here is what I've attempted so far. I tried to issue the command: ifconfig /dev/sd0a 204.183.227.2 up netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 204.183.227.255 Now I don't really feel like that was the command to use but I couldn't find any thing on configuring serial ports only ether net ports. Well if it was even close to the correct one, it certianly wasn't correct itself. I got a big 'ol ERROR! Well not that big but it put a stop to this mornings activities for me, at least on the UNIX box.

I could see that this might be possible if both cards are on the same physical Ethernet (though I can't really see how that would be useful unless you've got a slow ethernet card). I cannot see how it would make sense if both cards are on different Ethernet segments and have the same netmask (0xffffff00)!!! In that case, there would be no way of determining through which interface (and hence on which wire) a packet destined to 194.90.1.17 would go. > If you can have two different IP's for same interface you even better can > have different IP's for different interfaces no matter on which network... I'm not sure I follow this. If I understand right, it seems to violate half a dozen RFCs and create difficult routing problems. With most TCP/IP implementations I've seen, it is possible to build fully working but incorrect network configurations. Sometimes it may even (appear to) be useful to do this. -- Denis Fortin fortin@acm.org DMR Group Inc, (514) 877-3301 These opinions are my own From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 14 22:43:22 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id WAA12753 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 Mar 1995 22:43:22 -0800 Received: from mail06.mail.aol.com (mail06.mail.aol.com [152.163.172.108]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id WAA12747 for ; Tue, 14 Mar 1995 22:43:20 -0800 From: OCCGRP@aol.com Received: by mail06.mail.aol.com (1.37.109.11/16.2) id AA090149766; Wed, 15 Mar 1995 01:42:47 -0500 Date: Wed, 15 Mar 1995 01:42:47 -0500 Message-Id: <950315014245_49976187@aol.com> To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Does FreeBSD work with 3Com Eth Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have just purchased the FreeBSD CD (the new version 2.0) from Walnut Creek and I am trying to get it to work with the 3Com EtherLink III 3C509-COMBO.

You didn't say that! ;-) The driver has changed considerably since then. I would highly suggest that you pick up a 2.0-950210-SNAP floppy with an updated kernel on it. You can get it as: ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-950210-SNAP/floppies/cpio.flp cpio.flp is a tar-gzipped file that has many files in it besides just the kernel. It may actually be best to get the two floppies (boot.flp.gz and cpio.flp) and install the mini system from them. The only problem is that some of the networking utilities from 2.0R are not compatiple with 2.0-SNAP, so you may need to upgrade other peices of the system. If you can get the system up to the point that you can compile a new kernel, it should be easy to compile in the newer aic7xxx driver. > >After this happens the system hangs BIG TIME.

I.e., when I boot from the hard disk it can't find 'init', and then of course reboots. During the install of the installation boot partition it gives an error, which I can't completely see, about a hard error on the floppy.

I sent a similar message myself but then had problems with my email and did not see if there was a response. I found that if you are installing from a DOS partition on your hard disk that the install script wants your distribution directories to be in a subdirectory. For example, I created a directory on my c: drive named unix. The directory tree then was a follows: c:/--->unix---->bin(dist) | |->dict | and so forth. The complete release I was installing (SNAP-950210) then installed without any problems. I merely told it to look for the files in "unix" when the install script asked where the files were. I realize this is just a workaround, but I only downloaded the install script today and don't know when I'll get around to making the necessary adjustments. Of course anyone who wants to do some simple shell script programming could look at instdist.sh and fix it if you have time before I get around to it. I'll probably print it out and look at it tonight or tomorrow night.

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk nefud@tamu.edu (Allan Bailey) asks : "... I need to install from floppies. How do I create the necessary floppies from the bindist and srcdist files?" Assuming you are using 1.44 MB 3.5" diskettes, here. (1) Format them all. ( Suggest you discard any that do not pass format the first time around with a perfect score. This is particularly important with respect to the diskettes used as boot diskettes ( the *.flp files ). (2) Find RAWRITE.EXE utility and download it. Find the "floppies" directory and download all files ending in ".FLP". Use the RAWRITE utility to write these binary images to floppy disks, one per floppy. For example : C> RAWRITE .\FLOPPIES\CPIO.FLP A: (3) Download the files from a particular set ( bindist, for example ) and copy them to diskette, in order. ( I believe that one can get six files per 1.44 MB diskette and five files per 1.2 MB [ 5.25" ] diskette. ) Place the files cksums, cksum.sh and extract.sh on the last diskette. (4) Repeat step (3) as needed for all other file sets you wish to have on diskette. -- richard Help !

Very annoying... What I generally would do in this case is # mv -i var x11r6 .. # rm * # mv ../var ../x11r6 .

The test depends on what you want tested. Avoid ttcp if you want to see the effect of latency on client/server, since it will average one latency across the entire transaction because of the sliding window.

I'm fine up through where I give name login name, password and then it asks me for a command: if I type 'ppp' to establish a ppp connection then data starts to spit out on the screen. The problem is how do I get out of kermit. The only way I've been able to continue is to press the print screen key which starts a new session, I guess. My other question has to do with pppd. I use the command line of: # /usr/src/usr.sbin/pppd /dev/cua00 19200 and it seems to connect. My modem one time dropped connection another time it restarted my computer. Honestly they are the only two I dared to try it. As usuall I'm sure its something that isn't intutively obvious to me but some one else has had to of trip over this problem or at least got it right the first time.

The connection is established and the username is accepted. As soon as I press return the connection hangs. I can press control Z kill the task After that I can't send any network traffic out of the machine. Also I can establish telnet sessions but no data is sent. I can ping other hosts perfectly. I have booted up the machine with /kernel -c and configured the NE2000 with the following combinations. port 0x300 and 0x360 irq 5, 10 12 iomem 0x0 and 0xd0000 I have also disabled all other devices which could conflict. I have tried both a original NE2000 and a clone NE2000. Does the NE2000 need an i/o mem setting or any flags? BTW. ifconfig and route do not not report any error any time outs. I have just un-installed NetBSD which I've used for a few months and did not have any of these problems. So I do not believe I have a hardware conflict. Inside the machine there is a 387sx, a Maxtor IDE 340MB, a multi i/o card, an 8 bit VGA card, Heeeelp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe that I need a Kernel compiling and it being sent as a disk image to me. I am currently trying linux and it runs at about half the speed of NetBSD and the networking around a lot worse. Max FTP speed 70KB.... NetBSD 250KB-700KB. Regards, Mike.

I am in the process of FTP-ing the new bindist from the net. I test installed four of the bindist.?? files from floppy and it looks like it is going to work. Installing from the 2.0 CDROM is not now possible. The install program wants to install from the directory /bin. The bindist on the CDROM is in the directory /bindist. I guess the CDROM is outdated anyway. My big problem now is that the DOS slice shows up on the e slice instead of the h slice as per the docs. I am unable to mount the msdos disk slice, which is not a show stopper, but will make installing from the floppy a necssity. :-(( Can I do anything to correct this?

On SystemV unices, the system call poll(2) is used for multiple file descriptor polling, and select(2) is implemented on top of poll(2). I'm used to the Alpha runing OSF/1 (POSIX compliant). For many reasons I've always preferred poll(2) over select(2) When porting my code to FreeBSD, I wrote my own version of poll by translating poll(2)'s argument to select()'s format. call select(2) to poll my file descriptors, then translate select(2)'s result back to the format used by poll(2). This works fine, but I'm wondering if someone did this before. I would appreciate some examples (other than my own), preferably a kernel-level implementation, rather than at the Programmer Interface Level (API). I'm very interested in the most efficient implementation possible. I am aware that FreeBSD is striving to become POSIX compliant. (1003.1? 1003.4?) Anyone out there with some knowlege/rumor to share? Thank. TR Nguyen PS. I apologize for not posting to the developmental-related list.

The computer centre here at Monash Uni, is looking to run *a* UNIX and X on their PC's and hence reduce the demand for workstations. Their requirements are : netboot, swap to DOS file, X, nfs, support S3 video cards, run in 8 Mb RAM. We have approx 5,000 pc's, of which maybe 1500 will use this facility. I've convinced them so far to stay with FreeBSD (and away from Linux, though lots of Linux people are hammering on the door) but there seems to be a problem with swapping to NFS with the current snapshot kernel they have. A panic occurs (sorry I can't provide more detail, but I haven't actually seen the panic message). This swapping to NFS is just for the initial checking/configuring of the local hard disk. If we could get a snapshot out fairly soon we could stop this Uni moving to Linux. Not being knowledgeable about how to get current and make a kernel this is beyond my abilities ( I don't have a machine spare anyhow).

Here's what I did: * Configured the ethernet-cards (.65, .66, .129 and .138) all with the netmask 255.255.255.192. The mask 255.255.255.128 also seems to work, but some of you told me that is not allowed to use a subnet-mask with all 0's or 1's. So I made a subnet mask with two bits, ans only use 01 and 10. So 50% of my class C-address is lost :-( * Enabled the routing on router.jcn.nl with 'sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding = 1'. This enables the router function of this machine. I have a SLIP connection from the router.jcn.nl to my Internet-provider. I can't access external sources from the Windows machine. Because my provider doesn't know (yet) to route all information for 193.78.175.0 to that SLIP connection. It's a SLIP connection with a fixed IP-number (193.78.242.118), so its understandable that my provider doesn't know to route 193.78.175.0 to this connection. A leased line is comming up, so when that arrives we can connect the entire class C-network to the Internet using the leased-line. If you had any problems routing (like I did), I hope this helped.

There is also a NCR53C810 SCSI-Controller and a Quantum 540 MB SCSI hard disk, on which I try to install FreeBSD (no IDE-disks present). What happens is: Installing with the first boot-floppy works just fine. Trouble starts when the system tries to boot from SCSI-disks. a.) It either crashes when booting with the following message : Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode : fault virtual address = ........ : fault code = supervisor read, page not present : etc... b.) Or I may get as far to be asked to insert the cpio-floppy, but when I get into the Installation-Menu the machine crashes when I press any key. Can anyone give me a hint what's going wrong? There is another question I have. Quantum specifies that this particular harddisk has 1054280 logical blocks (corresponding to 540 MB). But when I get into the boot menu FDISK some different geometry is displayed stating some 1075649 blocks but only 525 MB capacity. Somehow these numbers don't make sense to me. Is this related to the problem above? Thanks for any help in advance Peter Schmidt I.Institut fuer Experimentalphysik der Uni.

I'm trying to setup a computer that will act as a file server under FreeBSD. The main details of the hardware configuration are: Motherboard: 486DX2-66 PCI+VESA, Opti chipset PCI SCSI adapter: Buslogic Bt946C SCSI disk: Conner CFP1060S PCI Ethernet card: SMC EtherPower 8432BT DSP 550: serial card with two 16550A ports. Originally, I planned to install FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, but I found that the network card was not supported in that release. So, I went with 2.0R. At the moment, the computer is in the first stages of testing. I'm the only user, using it from the console, but making some network connections too. I'm using a customized kernel that only has my hardware equipment, with ktracing activated, no SysV sems, shared memory, etc. To resolve host names, I use YP, served by SunOS 4.1.1. My problem is that, suddenly, the network ceases to work for about 5-10 minutes. After that time, it begins to work again. This may happen when the system has been up for just 10 minutes, or when it's been up for an hour. It happens again after a while, and so on. I may be telnetting, or maybe ftping. I haven't been able to find a clearly repeatable pattern. By the way, I don't think that it is a problem of cables or connections. When the network is "dead", if I try to ping some host on the network, after waiting for a while I get responses such as this (and the other system does not answer a single time, of course): yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out clnttcp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to send Or if I execute "arp -a", or "netstat -r", the command halts and I don't get any answer (at least, until I get tired and interrupt it). Another thing that sometimes happens and is probably related with this, is that when the system is booting, the initial ifconfig command sometimes takes longer than usual to run, and also one of the network daemons does the same thing (maybe inetd, I don't remember now). Sometimes I even have to hit Ctrl-C once or twice after a minute or so waiting, so that the boot sequence can continue. Does anybody have any idea of what can be going on? Has anybody experienced similar problems? I'll try switching the cards from slot and things like that, but any help or suggestion is welcome.

The problem with poll is that it has a 10ms resoloution limit, which is actually in violation of the SVID III (RT) requirements for select if you build select on top of poll. Going the other direction is acceptable, but the timeout update in select doesn't work anywhere I know of, besides Linux. Even then, Linux has timer limitations that are inconvenient. I'm sure that your poll-on-top-of-select would find use, probably as part of libcompat, although people expecting timeout updating are going to be suprised.

I repeat the hardware config, just in case: Motherboard: 486DX2-66 PCI+VESA, Opti chipset PCI SCSI adapter: Buslogic Bt946C SCSI disk: Conner CFP1060S PCI Ethernet card: SMC EtherPower 8432BT DSP 550: serial card with two 16550A ports. The problem is that I get occasional "Input/output error" when accessing the hard disk. It happens with files but once it happened when accessing the swap area, and the corresponding process was killed by a SEGV after the kernel printed an error message about not being able to retrieve a page from disk. For example, if I recompile from scratch a new kernel, there's a chance that I may get one or two of those errors during the process. Sometimes, it does the whole thing without a single error. The errors don't seem to be located in a particular spot of the hard disk, but instead they happen randomly (though rarely, at least). I've read the entire disk several times and didn't get any error. I used "dd if=/dev/rsd0d of=/dev/null bs=8k count=129680" (it's a 1 Gb disk). Also, I've put the disk under heavy activity (with several finds and several bonnies concurrently), and it might report one or several errors, or it might do everything without a single error. Again, no repeatable pattern. Finally, the kernel does not print any error message. In other systems running FreeBSD, if I got a hard disk error, something appeared in the console in a bright color saying the track, cylinder, sector, etc. But here, just a message from the user process saying "Input/Output error". Shouldn't the device driver print something if it got some physical error from the controller? The disk is brand new. Before attempting to exchange it by a new one, I'm trying to figure out if this is due to some problem other than a physical defect on the disk. Any idea? Again, thanks for reading this.

We have solved the problem by modifying the calls to crypt(), but it is not very clear how it works. We have 950210 snapshot *without* DES (I guess). The problem is, crypt in the snapshot behaves differently from what the manpage says: it always return a string longer than 13 chars, with the format $1$_saltxxx$encryptedchars and this happens even when the original salt is two-chars (as in the old versions of crypt). I remember somebody (Poul ?) discussed the subject when password encription was changed, but this hasn't percolated into the documentation. Are there problems in reverting crypt to behave as usual when a two-char salt is specified *and* no DES is present ? Anyways, could somebody modify the crypt manpage appropriately ?

They are diskless and boot on a main DOS server via Novell. We are considering the ability of using these PCs as X terminals. We want them to boot on FreeBSD via the network (the boot program will be on the main DOS server). We are wondering if such installation was already made in the past and if there are particular problems. Particularly, each PCs may have a different monitor/video card. The questions are: 1) Is FreeBSD free of charge for any institution as it is for any particular ? (particularly for public universities...) 2) Is it possible to do a remote boot via ethernet ? Are there any security problems using this method ? (Could someone boot using a floppy disk and then become root, allowing him to connect to the entire network with these privileges ? ) 3) Can we configure the X86Config file in order to take into account the heterogeneity of monitors and video cards ? Particularly, may we change the X11 manager sources to tell him to search for the right configuration of a PC in a file called (for instance) X86Config. ? We should also consider that some of the video cards require different XServer (S3, SVGA, etc...). May we change the "startx" sources in order to select the X. as the XServer ?

So what is the story... Are the Future domain cards supported YES or NO, inquiring minds want to know. If they are NOT supported, is anyone currently WORKING on a port from a Linux driver or writing one from scratch? If not, what is involved in WRITING a driver for the future domain cards? I would be very much interested in giving it a try, but some HELP would be required. I have a couple of FreeBSD systems, and I am appaled by the price difference between a TMC-16xx card and an Adaptec 1542 card which both appear to offer similar functionality. The models that I know of are the TMC-8xx/9xx series which are an 8-bit card commonly bundled with CDROM packages, the TMC-16xx series which is a full-blown 16 bit card with acceptable performance under DOS and other commercial unixes, and the 7000 series which FD picked up from Western Digital which if memory serves is either an MCA or EISA card.

Yes. > 2) Is it possible to do a remote boot via ethernet ? Are there any security > problems using this method ? (Could someone boot using a floppy disk and > then become root, allowing him to connect to the entire network with these > privileges ? ) Yes it is possible. The "netboot" code that is distributed with the system works for this. You put the code in a ROM on the network card. You also need to set up a bootp server on the net to issue configuration information by tftp in response to clients that are trying to boot up. The kernel itself is loaded via NFS. We are currently setting up a lab in which all the clients initially boot diskless, then reload data to the local disk, if necessary. I have hacked the netboot loader to be a 2-stage boot. Stage 1 goes in the ROM and won't do anything but load the stage 2 boot off of the server. The stage 2 boot can be set up to do whatever you want. Right now we have the option of booting FreeBSD or doing a normal boot sequence, e.g. A:, C: to load MSDOS. Using this scheme, you can prohibit booting from floppy by having the second stage boot refuse to return to run the normal A:, C: sequence. I have set up the NFS root and the /etc/rc so that the NFS root is completely read-only, so that a single root can be shared between multiple clients. This eases maintenance. The scheme I devised is somewhat baroque, but it seems to work. I can tell you more if you are interested. If somebody does boot up a floppy, and thereby loads their own kernel, they can of course become root on that client. This does not have any particular security implications that I know of, as long as you have your NFS servers configured so that they don't give root access to remote roots, and as long as you don't have any bogus .rhosts or hosts.equiv files that give out root permissions. Actually, it is easier to hack NFS as a normal user than it is as root, because root is treated specially. So, somebody could become root on a client, but that shouldn't automatically permit them to be root on a remote server. However, you do have to keep in mind that if they are root on a client machine, not only can they write whatever they want on the local disk, but they can also use the network card to snoop the net, to discover passwords or whatever. This may also be a consideration for you. > 3) Can we configure the X86Config file in order to take into account the > heterogeneity of monitors and video cards ?

Yes, a separate XF86Config file can be provided on the basis of hostname, I believe.

May we change the "startx" sources in order > to select the X. as the XServer ? Usually the server is invoked as simply "X", which is a symbolic link to the appropriate server. You could arrange for the symbolic links to be different on different clients, or you could substitute a shell script which would apply a greater level of intelligence to determine which server to run. - Gene Stark From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 16 16:12:49 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id QAA04554 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 16 Mar 1995 16:12:49 -0800 Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.1]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id QAA04547 for ; Thu, 16 Mar 1995 16:12:42 -0800 Received: from corbin.Root.COM (corbin.Root.COM [198.145.90.18]) by Root.COM (8.6.8/8.6.5) with ESMTP id QAA15025; Thu, 16 Mar 1995 16:12:34 -0800 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by corbin.Root.COM (8.6.11/8.6.5) with SMTP id QAA00388; Thu, 16 Mar 1995 16:12:34 -0800 Message-Id: <199503170012.QAA00388@corbin.Root.COM> X-Authentication-Warning: corbin.Root.COM: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol To: brian@mediacity.com (Brian Litzinger) cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: My free memory is shrinking away In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 16 Mar 95 15:58:05 PST."

There are two classes of 'free' memory..."cached pages" - which are clean pages, not mapped into any process that are primarily intended to cache file data, and free pages which contain nothing. I suspect that xperfmon isn't reporting 'cached' pages. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 16 16:15:07 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id QAA04692 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 16 Mar 1995 16:15:07 -0800 Received: from easynet.com (easyr.easynet.net [198.67.38.6]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id QAA04684 for ; Thu, 16 Mar 1995 16:15:05 -0800 Received: by easynet.com (Smail3.1.28.1 #7) id m0rpPXh-000rbvC; Thu, 16 Mar 95 16:05 WET Message-Id: From: brian@mediacity.com (Brian Litzinger) Subject: tip doesn't exit To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Thu, 16 Mar 1995 16:05:25 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 526 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a recreatable situation where tip doesn't exit all the way.

I have a P90 with a Cirrus Logic 5434 (Alpine Series) 2 Meg video card... every thing works fine until I end my xdm session (log out all open xterms and try to return to the username / password box) and then the card spasms and displays about a quarter of a screen of crud. The machine then locks up for a while but eventually something works out that there is a problem and xdm gets completely restarted... Another slighty strange thing I have noticed is that the very top left most few bytes of the screen are always black (I would guess about 8 pixels), if I move a window over the area the pixels remain black... weird huh ?

But now I want to do more with it. I want to run a server that will sell internet acounts out. And since the price and manageability of this OS is so great I want to use it. My questions are as follows: 1. Can this OS run (easly) a terminal server??? One tha claimes to run with BSD and or SCO unix. And will it alow eeasy connectivity using slip and or ppp? 2. There are a lot of UPS's out there on the market that work on unix. The kind I want is the kind that when it detects a power loss will drop all users and NICEly take down the server and then power it down. It utilises an expantion card and software. (ther is one for BSD and one for SCO) will they work and if yes do you recommend any kind or suggest any specs. The same goes with Number 1. if you can recomend any kind and or specs i would be greatfull.. Thank you...

I have installed the basic kernel and can boot from it, but the kernel does not find my CDROM drive. This drive is a rather obscure one : a Genstar 2000 by Genesis Integrated Systems. The interface card is probably proprietary but is ISO 9660 compliant. Under DOS, I use the MSCDEX device driver and everthing responds normally; that's how I built the boot and cpio floppies. When booting FreeBSD, dmesg says : mcd0: timeout getting status mcd0 not found at 0x300 If I boot with kernel -c, I change the IRQ, DRQ port address to those specified on the controller card, but still the kernel does not find the device. The questions specifically are : 1. What am I doing wrong 2. Is the controller card not compatible? 3. Can I replace the controller card and keep the CDROM? If so, what is rocommended? 4. Once I have freeBSD booted, is there some way to probe the system or try to attach the CDROM? lsdev does not provide any additional information. I even tried copying files from the CDROM to my floppy tape drive in order to continue the installation from the tape drive, but am thwarted here also. The message I get is : Incorrect volume inserted. This tape is " " date of format.... Insert ftfilt volume 01 and press enter. What does this mean? What is ftfilt? Can I override the volume title check? I am eager to get FreeBSD installed to a useful state, but cannot continue without your help.

The AppleTalk and TOPS networking software for PCs uses Zilog UARTS like those found in Sun serial ports. These are capable of doing sync I/O and some can be had for quite cheap. Novell has the NE3200, which is what they recommend for their Frame Relay soloution (and what we were using at the Sandy Office, after using employee discount for NetWare server and MultiProtocol Router NLM software).

The AppleTalk and TOPS networking software for PCs uses Zilog UARTS like those found in Sun serial ports. These are capable of doing sync I/O and some can be had for quite cheap. No wonder, the junk they are. The chip can only interrupt when either the first character of a frame arrives, for each character or on a buffer overrun. For each packet, you need to set up DMA transfer quickly before you loose any data, as there is no chaining or ring buffering. Appletalk and other 8530 cards don't usually do DMA bidirectionally, if at all (it is difficult, unless one wants to hog two DMA channels for each connection). This is fine for Tetris-loaders like DOS as busy-looping is not an issue, but hardly a good idea for operating systems. Digiware in Finland is prototyping a board which also might be of interest, contact kate@digiw.fi. Its based on motorola communications chip (built around 68k). Cyclades and Cronyx have got synch cards but they only spec up to 256k. There is a 64570 based board available from SDL Communications, or, was available for about a year ago. I haven't got any experience with these. The driver needed cleanup but apparently has been in production use. It is a bit pricey, though, but has got two ports (64570 has two channels). The chip can max at 7.1 Mbps according to the manual and does chaining to avoid DMA startup problems.

The driver went through freebsd-questions in last october. Cheap ethernet bridges are popping around and might seem to be a kludge solution for this kind of problems. I'm testing a pair in week or so. It needs prioritizing the traffic before sending it over the pridges (there is a group working at HUT to add IP prioritizing into FreeBSD 2, currently in early prototype-stage). I'm interested on any other pointers. -- Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, hsu@cs.hut.fi home +358-0-8031121 work -4513377 fax -4555276 riippu SN From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 17 18:48:27 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id SAA06242 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 17 Mar 1995 18:48:27 -0800 Received: from kbrown.oldcampus.yale.edu (root@kbrown.oldcampus.yale.edu [130.132.128.124]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id SAA06234 for ; Fri, 17 Mar 1995 18:48:23 -0800 Date: Fri, 17 Mar 1995 21:47:38 +0000 From: Vince Chan Subject: CXterm 5.0pl1 To: FreeBSD-questions@freefall.cdrom.com Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, Has anyone out there compiled CXterm (Chinese Xterm) 5.0pl1 under FreeBSD 2.0 before?

The Ultrastor 34F does work, it is stable, it does have the nasty habit of causeing high interrupt latency as it seems to grab the bus for long periods of time. Utrastor is also out of business, so if you are buying one get a real good deal on it. If any one wants one of these I will gladly sell mine for $150.00 as it see's very limited use any more since I have converted almost all of my systems to PCI (I use it to test VL bus mastering slots, but I have Bt445C's for that now). This is the full kit with all the software and I'll through in a brand new 2 drive cable.

For the BT445C the latency is < 16 usec. (I can't measure the overhead directly but I can measure the maximum time that it takes for several instructions. A U34F hogs the bus in such a way that 10 inb() instructions take 250 usec longer, while with a BT445C they only take 16 usec longer.) There are some other problems: 1) media detection is not completely implemented in the driver. 2) there are some performance problems. Command overhead is higher. The driver or the controller doesn't seem to handle scatter/gather well. The speed of reading /dev/rsd0d drops by 40% when memory gets fragmented. >Utrastor is also out of business, so if you are buying one get a real >good deal on it. >If any one wants one of these I will gladly sell mine for $150.00 as $50 would be a good deal :-).

I hacked on it a bit and got it to compile, but it does not understand the default binary format. (It does understand .o files, however.) Would it have worked if I configured for NetBSD? I tried to use the BDF library from gdb-4.14, but this caused problems with an undefined symbol when linking a number of the utils. :-( thanks, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://uvacs.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

Call 714-581-4100 and ask them yourself. Last month I returned one of the first 14F's for repair/upgrade. My card was replaced with and upgrade. And the damn thing failed just exactly the same way as the prior one did. Then I noticed new jumper definitions in the new manual (quite sure they were not in the original manual, which I can't find at the moment) where one can set the maximum time the card occupies the ISA bus. Default was 11uS. Set to 9uS it works. At 11uS I couldn't get thru DOS 5.0's fdisk without a lockup. Golly!
