I am not aware of any mechanism to have syslogd itself stop the DAEMON facility messages from named. However, what you can do is send the output from the daemon.* entry to an executable program or script that will remove the named entries before writing them to the log file. -- Crist J.

I have read through several FAQ's and tutorials on how to set two of these terminals up, and connect them to my box via ttyd0/COM1 and ttyd1/COM2. I have setup the terminal's parity to none and the modem port baud rate to 38400. I then edited the /etc/ttys file to use the following settings. ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" wy50 on insecure ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" wy50 on insecure After all these settings are checked and double checked and the init is reloaded to re-read the ttys file I check to see that my settings have taken affect and sure enough they have. bash$ ps ax|grep getty 277 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.38400 ttyd0 278 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.38400 ttyd1 According to all the FAQ's/tutorials I have read my terminals (assuming they are properly connected) should be getting a login prompt but they are not. I am very new at this and am at a total loss as what to try next. Is there any way I can be sure the terminals are connected correctly (I am pretty sure they are, I am using standard serial/modem cables), and if they are connected correctly is there anything I am missing?

Install NT first, then FreeBSD (if you do it the other way round NT will overwrite the MBR and you'll have to mess about fixing it so you can boot FreeBSD). You can use the FreeBSD boot manager to start NT provided it boots from a FAT partition, i.e. C: is FAT, but I prefer to use NT's boot manager. If you're using FreeBSD 3.x then after installing FreeBSD copy /boot/boot1 to C:\BOOTSECT.BSD if FreeBSD is on the same disk that NT *boots* from. If FreeBSD is on another disk then copy /boot/boot0. Then edit C:\BOOT.INI to add the entry for FreeBSD: [boot loader] timeout=5 default=C:\ [Operating Systems] C:\="Windows 95" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINNT="Windows NT 4" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINNT="Windows NT 4 VGA" /basevideo /sos C:\BOOTSECT.BSD="FreeBSD" If you are using 2.2.x then you have to use dd(1) to create C:\BOOTSECT.BSD. See section 8 of the handbook " How can I use the NT loader to boot FreeBSD?" for instructions (it only covers 2.2.x but I've raised a PR with an update to cover 3.x systems).

From the looks of your ps output, it looks like the terms and the computer are not talking at all. The '??' should have the tty designation in them. For example, I have two PCs attached to a terminal through a switch box. I'm remote from them right now, but I can tell which one has the switch closed, backmail% ps ax | grep getty 225 v0 IWs+ 0:00.00 (getty) 228 d1 IWs+ 0:00.00 (getty) newmail% ps ax | grep getty 13522 ?? IW 0:00.00 (getty) 26299 v0 IWs+ 0:00.00 (getty) 203 v1 IWs+ 0:00.00 (getty) 204 v2 IWs+ 0:00.00 (getty) 205 v3 IWs+ 0:00.00 (getty) The machine backmail has the live ttyd1 connection. Assuming I'm correct, there are about a jillion things it could be, but some ideas, 1) Are you using a null-modem if you need one (basically, you need the equivalent of an Ethernet cross-over cable for serial connections)? 2) Do the comm settings on the terminal match those of the FreeBSD box (e.g. the term is set to do 38400 baud too)? 3) I only run my terms at 19200 baud. I suspect that either EMI in switch box prevents me running faster or the serial hardware in the PCs is not good enough to handle 38400. You might try, say, 9600 just to make sure everything works, then increment up until you find the max you can run at reliably. 4) There are inummerable hardware problems that could be there. Try different cables and different term combos (even different PCs or ports in each PC) if all else fails. I find this is especially a problem with serial terms since one is almost always dealing with old, hand-me-down hardware. HTH. I spent many hours getting mine going right. -- Crist J.

I got the FAQ to build using the old LinuxDoc format but they've just moved it over to DocBook format and I can't get that to build. To build the LinuxDoc stuf you need to install sgmlformat-1.7 which requires docbook-3.0, jade-1.2.1, linuxdoc-1.1. I'm going to have another play with it tonight.

During the build of the dependencies, graphics/ImageMagick and www/libwww both have errors during the patch phase. The patches fail because they're already included in the distribution tarball. So all that's needed in each of the directories is a 'touch .patch_done' in the work/ in each of the dependencies' directories. After that's done, it builds just fine.

The manpage says that there can be a global, per-collection, and per-release refuse file, named thus: /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/refuse /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all/refuse /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all/refuse.cvs:RELENG_2_2 OK, so my tag is ``.'' so change ``RELENG_2_2'' for ``.'' as you suggest, but still no luck. > (at least that's what I use for my ports refuse file in > /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/ports_all/ and it works) > > Brett > ***************************************************** > Brett Taylor brett@peloton.runet.edu * > Dept of Chem and Physics * > Curie 39A (540) 831-6147 * > ***************************************************** > > -- STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford.

I am using sendmail to handle my mail. I am currently connected to the internet full time via a cable modem using the @home service. I have registered 3 domain names, chickenbean.com, tecpro.com, and wolflawfirm.com, and they all point to my server at 24.4.115.200. DNS is being provided by ais-gwd.com, a local ISP.

I have been having this problem since I moved this server to the @home network (my old ISP who hosted a similar mail server gave me such grief that I brought everything in house). I have posted several questions to the questions@freebsd.org mailing list, but have not found a good answer. Thanks in advance!

Whoever would've thougt to look *there* . I pasted your "archsw.readin.failed" and got 30 odd hits. Must've mistyped or something. Thanks. But alas, as a matter of fact I did make world. But like that. So maybe I oughta to've used the new spelling? I'm currently doing a "make buildworld" to see if that helps things. Must say that text isn't all too clear. E.g. what is the second stage and does not the | that shows up get replaced by other chars to simulate a whirling action? What does it mean to directly specify the kernel? Is it saying "boot kernel" as if to boot any other non-default kernel and would that really result in a different loading process? Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.

Just had the results of the make buildworld, make installworld combo and that works! I even have the manpages. Funny, I had the impression that "make world" comprised both "make buildworld" and "make installworld". Does it in fact not?

Yes there is. As others have already said you need null-modem cables. If you don't have them you can make 'm quite easily. The most basic form is connecting pins 2-3, 3-2, 7-7. The next thing you need to do is to setup the handshaking. With the minimum cable, or when you're still testing, you need a lower baudrate and no handshaking. So 9600 bps, tops. Then try and see if something happens. If not hook up 2 CRTs with that null-modem cable and see if you type on one it appears on the other and vice-versa. If not I hope you got MC-1488/89's (or something like that, been awhile). Static electricity is known to blow those chips. They're responsible to up the UART TTL signals to RS-232C levels. Only after that you go to higher baudrates and handshaking. You will be wanting hardware handshaking, since that's fastest and frees the ^Q & ^S keys (XON, XOFF). Howewer that will also mean you'll need at least another wire in your cable connecting the right pins. Is described in the Wyse manual. HTH, Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.

The account holders typically check their email from locations such as bellsouth.net, innova.net, carol.net, mindspring.net, etc..., but when they check from these domains, they get a relaying denied error 550 message back from my server. I found that I can fix this by placing their ip address in my /etc/mail/relay-domains file, but if they dial in later, I have to change the address in the /etc/mail/relay-domains file and killall -hup sendmail. This is not practical. I have considered turning off the relaying rules in sendmail to fix the problem, but I don't want to leave my server open for abuse. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

This should only be used if absolutely necessary as it opens a window for spammers. Specifically, they can send mail to your mail server that claims to be from your domain (either directly or via a routed address), and you will go ahead and relay it out to arbitrary hosts on the Internet. this lets people who has user@yourdomain.com type email address to be able to relay through your server. This would be a solution for you but it is not very safe. and the problem is not about checking emails, they are not able to send emails! relaying is if somebody outside of your machine is trying to send an email to somebody who is also outside of your machine. Sendmail does not do anything when they are checking their emails, your pop3 or IMAP deamon is taking care of that stuff. Just when they are sending email they are using sendmail. you should see sendmail readme http://www.sendmail.org/m4/readme.html if you have installed contrib sources then this file also should be at /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README I hope this would help you Evren "Charles A.

I'm compiling omniORB2, which has the following code: /* in file initFile.cc */ #include /* ... now in another #included header, bootstrap.hh */ class ObjIdList_var { public: typedef ObjIdList _T; typedef ObjIdList_var _T_var; There are other places where the _T typedef is used. ctype.h has this definition: #define _T 0x00100000L /* Special */ This obviously causes parse errors when I try to compile. I can easily fix this by adding #undef _T after every include of ctype.h. There are other tricks that might be more elegant. But I would like to really fix things. I guess I have 3 questions. 1) Who is right? Is it proper for omniORB to be using _T in their code? Or is it right for FreeBSD to have _T defined in ctype.h? Or both, somehow? 2) What, in the short term, is the best way to fix the problem? I could add #ifdef SOME_IDENTIFIER ... #endif around that block of #defines in ctype.h. I could add #undefs to the omniORB2 source code. What have other people done for this type of thing? 3) What is the best long-term solution?

Packets traversing R1 endure SKIP processing, packets traversing R2 are subjected to NAT. When Host B directs packets to R1 they are SKIP processed and placed on the private Ethernet. The packets returning to Host B should be directed to R1 to be SKIP processed before being routed to the Internet. The plan is to set the Gateway address for the Win95/8/NT hosts to the FR router which has R2 for its default route but which learns that the route back to host B is via R1. [Host B] | {Internet} | [Router] RIP II | =================Ethernet (public) | | [R1] [R2] gated gated | | =================Ethernet (private) | | [Host A] [FR] Cisco rip 2 Win 95/8 | {Elsewhere} So far I have not been able to get this to work, although I can verify that R1 is advertising routes and the other routers are listening for them. A static route added to R1 just does not show up in the other routers. Can this work? Can a host route be propagated on the private network? What might I be doing wrong? Are the host routes being aggregated with the default routes? Any tips or suggestions will be welcome.

So: At this moment, I've got a 2.2.7-FreeBSD and an NT installed on my PC.=20 There are two hard drives in the PC, the primary master IDE drive is a 2.5 Quantum drive, it is set to LBA in the BIOS. The second one is secondary slave, an old 405M Quantum drive. The (AWARD) BIOS can't recognize right geometry of the latter one via 'IDE HD autodetection'. The first HD has got the NT and BSD installed and a 'booteasy' in the root=20 sector installed from the FreeBSD distribution. Although booteasy can recognize the type of the partitions on the first HD, it cannot boot them. The only way to boot up my PC is to insert the BSD install CD in the CD drive and when the BSD boot prompt appears, type: 1:wd(0,a)kernel. After that, the BSD already installed on the hard drive would start up, recognizes is all the parts of the PC and everything would run fine as they should. This situation happened tho weeks ago. Before, my PC work quite well, w/o problems. I would like to know, where does BSD know from the geometry of the disks when BIOS can't get them. =09=09=09Thanks in advance ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----- Sebesty=E9n Zolt=E1n =09I'm believing that the Holy Spir= it is =09=09=09=09=09gonna allow the hand, and the foot, and MAKE INSTALL NOT WAR=09=09=09the mouth, just to begin to speak, and to minister, and to heal coordinate= d by =09=09=09=09=09the head.

Anyone got a solution for this problem without geting all my users to create a new password?

One thing you need to find out is if your ISP supposes PAP or CHAP authentication. It is infinitely easier to use PAP/CHAP for autodial. If they do not, you'll need to setup a chat script for the login.

The only version in the Mall is 3.2-Release. If you had access to cvsup, it doesn't take long to upgrade from 3.2R to 3.2S. There are two cvsup mirrors in South Africa.

I've had reports of this problem before, but I can't remember the exact details of what the problem ended up being. However, whenever it fails with the GUI but works in command-line mode, it always turns out to be a problem in the user's DNS setup. Please run the following tests on your system, and send me the results. Maybe then I can fix CVSup to handle the situation or at least fail with a decent error message. 1. Type the command hostname and tell me what it prints out. 2. Type the command myhost `hostname` Notice that those quotes are backticks -- the ones way up in the northwest corner of your keyboard. Tell me what the command prints out. The output should include one or more lines similar to this: myhost.example.com has address 192.168.111.222 Assuming it does ... 3. For each "has address" line, type: host 192.168.111.222 filling in the actual address from step 2 instead of "192.168.111.222". Tell me what you get. In each case, the output should look like: 222.111.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer myhost.example.com with "myhost.example.com" replaced by whatever you got in step 1. My bet is that in step 2 or 3, you won't get the kind of output I said you should get. That means your DNS setup is screwy or non-existent. The best thing to do is to fix that, possibly with the help of your ISP. That is probably the only fix that will work if you have a dynamically-assigned IP address (different each time you connect to your ISP). However, here's a work-around that will probably do the trick if you have a static IP address: 1. Edit "/etc/host.conf" and make sure the "hosts" line comes first. Move the line to the front of the file if necessary. 2. Edit "/etc/hosts". Insert a line at the front of the file: 192.168.111.222 myhost.example.com myhost replacing the first field with your real IP address, the second field with your fully-qualified domain name (the output of the "hostname" command), and the third field with just the first part of that. Then the GUI should work. Again, please let me know the details of what you find out so I can fix the software to handle it better. John --- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm running on a recent 3.2-stable setup with 128MB ram and 150M swap, and the recent mpg123 from ports through the pcm0 kernel driver, with the gqmpeg player. I've been watching the RES size of the playing mpg123 process as it plays a MP3, and the active memory usage increase as it plays a mp3. It never seems to free this memory nor does any of the memory goes back into the inactive pool after the mp3 is done and moves on to the next (whether mpg123 is run from gqmpeg or commandline). On a usual overnight run without mpg123, I should be somewhere around 80MB used in Windowmaker and no swap used. After a overnight run with mpg123, I'm seeing 22M of swap used and increasing. Is this normal behavior of the memory architecture? I haven't been awake when swap usage gets been maxed out, but the system does reboot because I think no swap left so it panics.

I have tried to find some but PCMCIA card manufactures don't like to say whos chips they are using. Also, anyone know what chips are used in Netgear and Kingston PCMCIA NICs?

I rebuilt an IDA supported kernel on another machine and then dropped it's gzipped image into a kern.flp. I really first thought that I have to 'make release' to get modified kernel image into a boot floppy, according to FAQ's '2.6.

(long story involving a BP6 MB that would not boot with a PCI Stealth 3000 video, and the only decent 2D card I could pick up on short notice was a Matrox G400 with 32MB of ram. Talk about overkill, maybe I'll pick up a G200 with 8 or 16MB and move the G400 into a game machine). All I did was download 3.3.4 from ftp.xfree86.org in the right format, and follow the instructions. Went painlessly enough, but I've never had a port require 3.3.4 explicitly. They'd try to install 3.3.4 if no X was installed, but since installing 3.3.3.1 and before upgrading to 3.3.4, I installed a CD's worth of ports (finally upgrading from the last 2.2.8-STABLE and wanted a totally clean break) using the ports collection from about August 11, and didn't hit a single hitch. I'd say to look at the port to find out just what it is depending on. dependancies are on individual programs or files, not on ports/packages. (checking my ports to see if I can answer this question myself)... Nope, nothing that depends on anything other than binaries that 3.3.3.1 would install. It doesn't look like as much as a minor lib number changed, so your previously compiled programs shouldn't notice a difference.

Perhaps frank has run out of PTYs, i.e., they're all in use by other login sessions or xterms. How many does it have, both in the kernel (`pseudo-device pty' line) and in /dev (`ls -l /dev/tty[p-sP-S]*')? You can make more devices in /dev with cd /dev sh MAKEDEV pty0 pty1 pty2 pty3 and so on, up to pty7, this will give you 256 PTYs, but your kernel must have support for that many if you want to use all of them. I think this has been changing recently in -current, but I'm not sure of the details, and you're not using -current anyway. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 23 13:29: 1 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from scientia.demon.co.uk (scientia.demon.co.uk [212.228.14.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F36A614CC0 for ; Mon, 23 Aug 1999 13:28:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ben@scientia.demon.co.uk) Received: from lithium.scientia.demon.co.uk ([192.168.0.3]) by scientia.demon.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 3.032 #1) id 11Ixxt-000B7q-00; Mon, 23 Aug 1999 18:33:01 +0100 Received: (from ben) by lithium.scientia.demon.co.uk (Exim 3.032 #1) id 11Ixxs-00088l-00; Mon, 23 Aug 1999 18:33:00 +0100 Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 18:33:00 +0100 From: Ben Smithurst To: tps@ti.sk Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FW: neocakavane rebooty - zistenie Message-ID: <19990823183259.A30806@lithium.scientia.demon.co.uk> References: <006201beed5a$3f00a900$231da8c3@tps.tps.sk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.6i In-Reply-To: <006201beed5a$3f00a900$231da8c3@tps.tps.sk> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Tomas TPS Ulej wrote: >> Connection attempt to UDP 192.108.130.71:1095 from 192.108.130.91:53 >> Connection attempt to TCP 192.108.130.71:143 from 210.178.1.129:11269 >> Connection attempt to TCP 192.108.130.71:113 from 194.1.241.1:6760 > > In /etc/services: > >> netrjs-1 71/tcp #Remote Job Service >> netrjs-1 71/udp #Remote Job Service > > What is Remote Job Service? Is documentation available? Sorry, I'm confused. In what way is the /etc/services entry for port 71 related to the above log messages? The destination ports for the attempted connections were 1095 (not listed), 143 (imap) and 113 (ident). I can only think you saw the 71 as the final octet of the destination address and looked up the wrong number... The source ports are pretty much irrelevant, but note that the source port for the UDP attempt was 53 (dns), I think people use this because people who don't know how to set up BIND properly allow all udp traffic from source port 53 through their firewalls (and I admit, I did this until recently). -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 23 13:40:54 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from donhm.calcasieu.com (tcnet03-40.austin.texas.net [209.99.40.166]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A51E215062 for ; Mon, 23 Aug 1999 13:40:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dread@texas.net) Received: from donhm.calcasieu.com (localhost.calcasieu.com [127.0.0.1]) by donhm.calcasieu.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA26401; Mon, 23 Aug 1999 15:40:36 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from dread@texas.net) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.3 [p0] on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 15:40:36 -0500 (CDT) From: Don Read To: dissonant Subject: RE: syslog - omitting a service?

Your network packets are visible to anyone on your subnet. A sniffer can see and reprint anything you type that hits the network if the sniffer is located in the right place. Sniffers can take the unencrypted data stream and put the packets together and print them out or save them to a file. It is very easy to search a huge unencrypted file for root or su or su - and then look for the unencrypted text following, which would be the root password. :) I, ofcourse, have never done this. :P If the data stream hitting the network is encrypted(ssh2) then the sniffed text wont make any sense to a human or supposedly any known/available decryption program at this time. If you log on directly at the console of the machine then the network is not involved, so the only way a password can be compromised is if someone is watching you type or the permissions of the password file in /etc are hosed. Disclaimer: I am no security expert and there are many security concerns. (setuid root, active ports) From what I have seen/read, many people use ssh2 for remote communications. This would be your best bet if you are worried about someone stealing your root password off a network. avenger wrote: > > While i am not dumb and dont log in as root always, every so often i need > to log in as root for various things. what i am asking is, as root, do i open up > any sort of security issue when connected online (i.e. some sort of a hole that > will compromise my system) ?

From 'man 8 ppp' -ddial This mode is equivalent to -auto mode except that ppp will bring the link back up any time it's dropped for any reason. What does auto do you ask? It automatically dials the isp whenever a connection is requested, and generally drops the connection after lack of use. Since you want the connection to be 24/7 you use -ddial instead, which will attempt to stay dialed 24/7. ENTRY_IN_PPPCONF refers the the enter in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf that you need to create for this to work. Again read /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample for information on how to set this up.

You don't need the -alias option then. Also you need to look at /etc/rc.conf and /etc/defaults/rc.conf on enabling your system as a gateway. > > They are very relevant.

The other alternative is to use -auto with a timeout of zero (set timeout 0 in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf) this will only dial out when needed but won't drop the connetion unless the other side of the connection drops you 1st. One last thing, please, always CC: the mailing list any replies unless there is a specific reason to keep the conversation private. You'll get more assistance that way and it helps others who are in a similar situation to learn from the answers to your questions. -Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 23 15:43: 8 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from laatikko.saunalahti.fi (mail.netlife.fi [195.74.0.39]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6D43314D9B for ; Mon, 23 Aug 1999 15:42:57 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from yurtesen@ispro.net.tr) Received: from ispro.net.tr (dyn-0-029.tku.netti.fi [195.16.223.30]) by laatikko.saunalahti.fi (8.9.1/8.9.0) with ESMTP id BAA05699; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 01:42:46 +0300 (EET DST) Message-ID: <37C1CE17.C4AD14D6@ispro.net.tr> Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 01:41:27 +0300 From: Evren Yurtesen X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 Cc: The Hermit Hacker , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD vs Solaris comparisons?

We have had problems with Solaris cause they are not able to give GNU licensed programs since it is an commercial os and it took hours to find download and install compiler etc. And also I have found out that in solaris we need to create a file for everything like /etc/defaultgateway vs. and there is really not enough documentation about these files. It is easy with FreeBSD since it has a central configuration file and lots of documentation. Maybe it was a little bit strange for me to use solaris after freebsd though.

I have scanned the newsgroups, but find = nothing=20 relating to this problem.
 
PPP seems to be ignoring the lowest = numbered and=20 highest numbered filters when the "set filter ..." commands are edited = into=20 ppp.conf
 
If I place the following commands in=20 ppp.conf:
 
  set filter dial 0 deny = icmp
  set filter dial 1 deny 0/0=20 198.168.0.0/16
  set filter dial 6 permit 0/0=20 0/0
 
then do "show filter dial", either by = running ppp=20 in interactive mode or by connecting to a diagnostic port, I = get:
 
1  deny     = 0.0.0.0/0=20 198.168.0.0/16
 
Just that one line! If I then (re)enter = the missing=20 filter commands interactively, the show command produces:
 
0  deny     = 0.0.0.0/0=20 0.0.0.0/0 icmp
1  deny     = 0.0.0.0/0=20 198.168.0.0/16
6  permit   0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
 
after which the filter seems to work as intended.
 
Any idea what gives?
 
Thanks,

We're running 2 servers, similar hardware (one is a PII 333, one is 400; the 333 has a built-in Adaptec 7895 SCSI controller, the other has a 2940UW; both machines have 3Com Fast Etherlink XL's (3C905)), running FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE. It seems that every 5-7 days, we have to reboot both servers, because they start getting "No buffer space available" error messages all over the place. It happens with the ftpd, telnet, ssh, and even named. I'm starting to wonder if perhaps the code for the 3C905 card isn't that great, or if maybe the cards themselves just don't work under high traffic loads? These two machines definitely put out a lot of traffic (over 1.5 Mbit/sec at almost all times).

There's an ASCII version on the Walnut Creek CD-ROMs. It's not supposed to replace the hardcopy version. In particular, the diagrams are terrible or missing.

It's possible that mpg123 has one or more memory leaks (there's always one bug left). But I'm sure that it's not as leaky as you suspect. I'm using 3.2-stable (last cvsup/make world on Aug 15) and mpg123 0.59q. I started mpg123 about 10 hours ago with the parameters -Z --reopen * in a directory with about 50 mp3s. I've started mpg123 on my account (i.e. with an uid != 0) on a normal vty (no X11). The result, according to top: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 42397 ue -6 0 4352K 2500K dspwr 97:46 18.70% 18.70% mpg123 mpg123's memory requirements grow with the size of the mp3 file. The amount of resident memory for mpg123 will grow from approx. 500 kbyte to aprrox 75% of mpog123's total memory size while a song is played. After the end of the song, the cycle repeats.

I've got some suspicions that one of the disks is running into periods of load causing problems for hte rest of the system, but I'd like to get some hard numbers before we start considering some upgrades. I know when I read the archives I saw some discussion about expanding iostat to give more statistics that would be useful for this (since msps seems to be useless), but this was all in 1995, and nothing seems to have come of it. The system is currently running 2.2-stable (we're planning on upgrading, but it's not in a convenient location to have someone there to do the upgrade and since it's been working fine we've been putting it off).

If you don't want anyone ever accessing ftp on a given machine, just comment out the ftpd line in /etc/inetd.conf, then, # kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid` To reload the file. Note this does not efffect your ability to ftp out of your box. If you are closing out a specific set of hosts while allowing others, or blocking external ftp into a subnet, firewalling is the better way to go.

Now about that "ddial" stuff ...... there isn't anything about it in ppp.conf, so exactly what do I need to do ...... typing "MAN ppp" just tells me "No Manual entry for ppp". I printed out the PPP MAN from FreeBSD.org, trying fairly unsuccessfully to make some headway with it What I (and probably most people new to this stuff) need to be able to comprehend what to do is simple "step by step" instructions, not heaps of MAN pages that are apparently written in some language I never learned > What does auto do you ask? It automatically dials the isp whenever > a connection is requested, and generally drops the connection after lack of > use. Since you want the connection to be 24/7 you use -ddial instead, which > will attempt to stay dialed 24/7. ENTRY_IN_PPPCONF refers the the enter in > /etc/ppp/ppp.conf that you need to create for this to work. OK ..... at least in theory ...... but the info in the PPP MAN doesn't tell me anything about just how to set autodial up .... doesn't anyone who writes this stuff ever think that just maybe someone reading it is doing so in order to actually find how to set things up ?? Its OK for those who know exactly what they are doing, but useless for those who don't. Since its way beyond my ability to even think about messing with chat scripts at this point, is there any reason to confuse myself any further with autodial if it involves chat stuff ?? > As I said, you want ddial (dedicated dial) instead of auto since > ddial will attempt to keep the connection up as long as possible. Simple question ...... does "ddial" require knowledge of chatscripts or not ?? If so ..... its something I better leave alone til I have time and inclination to mess with it as I've never been able to understand anything about chatscripts. Maybe someone will port some ppp setup utility like wvdial to BSD before I go through that trauma.

I don't set up machines frequently, so the easiest thing for me to do is just download a STABLE snapshot and burn it on a CD and take it to the machine (the price of buying the Walnut Creek dist is not an issue since this was at work, but the pain of doing a PR and then waiting for it is just not worth the time to d/l and cook a CD). However, since the machine is not on the net and for other reasons it is a pain to be moving lots of media in and out of the machine, I wanted to put all of the distfiles for the ports I thought I would need on the CD. Now, it is easy enough to make a shell script that cycles through a list of ports and does a 'make fetch', but this process will _not_ pick up prerequisite ports. I ended up going through the list of ports, doing a 'make fetch' and also digging dependencies out of Makefiles with an awk script and then fetching those ports too. I thought I was pretty clever... Until I went to install my ports[0] and the process started screetching to a halt when it hit ports that had dependencies which had dependencies of their own. *sigh* I could revise my script to recursively look for dependencies, but is there an easier way to do this that I am overlooking? [0] I installed on one of these Dells with all SCSI HDDs and CDs that have been the topics of recent threads. The installation of the OS itself could _not_ have gone more smoothly. I literally was commenting to a co-worker in the room, "This is too easy, stand back, the machine must be gonna explode or something." Well, everything was fine until, lulled into dropping my guard, I made a mistake configuring X and locked myself out of the machine. ;) -- Crist J.

BSD stuff is still way beyond me but at least there are a few things I can comprehend and unlike most linuxes I have tried to figure out, there does seem to be an attempt by experts here to help newbies. The mere mention of "commercial" operating systems in the linux mailing lists will start a religious war to rival anything the world has seen .... but at least many of the inhabitants here seem to be significantly more open minded .... after all, its a matter of "horses for courses" and what suits one user is not necessarily the ideal solution for another. Another issue that convinced me to change to BSD was the need in linux to r re-compile the kernel every time I wanted to enable some function like routing or SMP or whatever ..... whereas it seems most of that stuff is already enabled in proper unixes like BSD, Solaris et al. I personally still can't see BSD being usable in regular office workstation situations generally until someone comes up with a good GUI interface (and I don't mean amateur level stuff like KDE that locks up solid periodically) ----- Original Message ----- From: David Lázaro To: Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 1999 1:32 PM Subject: Convince me, please... > I have been using Linux 4 years now (exactly 4, this days would be the > aniversary) but I feel something about BSD.

When we used Linux (and Im ashamed to admit we did) my beeper was my foremost enemy - now I often forget I have one. The long technical reason is: The system is top to bottom optimized for max use of the available hardware with max thruput, in a controlled enough environment for consistancy (or consistant expectation of performance anyways), and for minimal downtime.. AND for ease of recovery when the worse case scenario just happens to be the one you are looking at at 3 in the morning. I HAVE piled 3 to 10 times more workload on THE SAME hardware that used to run linux, on a freebsd machine and have had that freebsd machine still hum along like it could use something more to do. Ive had a few noses go up so high I could count the hairs.. all because linux gets more PR.. and my rebut has always been.. bill gates gets even more PR - how often does your win95 desktop crash even under light loads? To me.. it doesnt mean a tinkers damn what anyone else thinks of anything.. what matters to me is how much problem something gives me, how much performance I get.. the bang for the buck! (which reminds me - Im overdue to get my company to SEND THE FREEBSD PEOPLE SOME MORE FINANCIAL SUPPORT! - If yours doesnt, SMACK THEM! They make money from it - they need to give some back! - (Im not affiliated with the freebsd people/project.. Im just DAMN glad they exist!)) The way freebsd handles virtual memory, disk caching, process timing, YOU NAME IT, is far and away a better, faster, way less crashy approach than any other operating systems we've tried. I dont love companies, or brand names, or system types, trends or sales hype.. I love a full nights sleep, a full day off, uninterrupted romance, and cost containment.

The Pedantic PPP Primer just says 'look at MAN PPP" which doesn't tell me anything useful, so I guess its back to bugging the list again Next issue, according to some lines in ppp.conf, I also need to edit lines "alias port 10.0.0.2:ftp ftp" & "alias port 10.0.0.2:http http" How does one find what to put in there ??

Are you sure the jumpers on each drive are set properly for master and slave? You might also try removing the CDROM and sticking the 850MB drive on the other IDE controller to see if it works there (make sure the jumpers are correct for a single drive). In the old days (when Conner was still around), there were some drives that just didn't get along well if you mixed manufacturers on the same bus. If it works alone on the other controller, it's one of those "unfriendly" drive situations. If it doesn't work, then there's something else amiss, and hopefully, someone else out there has a better idea.

And I would like to also have the sco (vga/keyboard) terminal available too. Best would be autodetect, if the keyboard is plugged in it would use the sco terminal, but if the keyboard is not plugged in it would use the sio terminal. I think that I can do this from the boot prompt with the -P argument. But I want to make that the default behavior. And when the keyboard is not plugged in I would like to start output to sio terminal at the lowest possible boot level. Dual (sco and sio) would be OK too. Does anyone have any hints on how to do this? So far all I can do is to use the sio to login after bootup.

From: "David E. Cross" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG It sounds like you want 'boot0'. Boot your system into FreeBSD (that should be simple for you right now ;) and log in as root. Execute the command: "boot0inst wd0" thne "/bin/sync;reboot" When the system comes back up it should display something like: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F1 <--- This says that F1 is the default if you don't do anything. If you wait a few seconds it will just do the default entry for you. It saves the default each time you go, so if you boot into FreeBSD and then reboot (remotely or something) it will boot into FreeBSD again.

Cross" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I will make the one assumption that you are not using DHCP for this... You need to edit /etc/rc.conf. First you need to tell the system which network interfaces to enable, this is done with the variable 'network_interfaces'. This is a space deliminated list of all of the interfaces that you wish to configure. On very recent systems this variable can be set to "auto" to have the system try to config all the interfaces by itself. You likely do not have such a system, so you will need the more manual way. You need to collect a list of all the interfaces on your machine. I do this with the following command: > # ifconfig -a > xl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 > inet 10.130.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.130.1.255 > ether 00:a0:24:bb:00:c4 > media: 100baseTX (100baseTX ) > supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP > lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 > tun0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 > sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 > ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 > lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 > inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 In this case I have network interfaces: xl0, lp0, tun0, sl0, ppp0, and lo0. Since you don't have them configured at all you will likely not see any of the indented information, since that is a result of the configuration ;). The 'lp0' driver is for a parallel port PLIP interface. "sl0" is a SLIP, 'ppp0' is for PPP. You will not want configure any of these. You will likely wish to configure any remaining interface, and you must configure lo0 (the loopback interface). For the above example the line in /etc/rc.conf is: network_interfaces="xl0 lo0" Now for each interface you need to tell it what IP it has, this is done by interface_IFNAME="options". So for the above example it is: ifconfig_xl0="inet 10.130.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_lp0="inet 127.0.0.1" # DO NOT CHANGE THIS. Finally you will want to setup the gateway for the system, this is done via: defaultrouter="IP" In my case this is: defaultrouter="10.130.1.254" So that makes the *entire* network config in /etc/rc.conf be: > network_interfaces="xl0 lo0" > ifconfig_xl0="inet 10.130.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" > ifconfig_lp0="inet 127.0.0.1" # DO NOT CHANGE THIS. > defaultrouter="10.130.1.254" That should be all you need to do, just season that information with your own net.interfaces and pepper with your IP addresses. -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 23 23:31: 6 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from gilliam.users.flyingcroc.net (gilliam.users.flyingcroc.net [207.246.128.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E7539158B9 for ; Mon, 23 Aug 1999 23:29:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ross@gilliam.users.flyingcroc.net) Received: (from ross@localhost) by gilliam.users.flyingcroc.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) id XAA04769; Mon, 23 Aug 1999 23:28:21 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 12:23:27 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199908240628.XAA04769@gilliam.users.flyingcroc.net> To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Joe Subject: sio boot / console configuration?

And I would like to also have the sco (vga/keyboard) terminal available too. Best would be autodetect, if the keyboard is plugged in it would use the sco terminal, but if the keyboard is not plugged in it would use the sio terminal. I think that I can do this from the boot prompt with the -P argument. But I want to make that the default behavior. And when the keyboard is not plugged in I would like to start output to sio terminal at the lowest possible boot level. Dual (sco and sio) would be OK too. Does anyone have any hints on how to do this? So far all I can do is to use the sio to login after bootup.

There is one thing, that all of the commands given do, that no one has mentioned to you. After you edit the master.passwd file you need to rebuild the database for it, by running the pwd_mkdb. If you don't run pwd_mkdb the system ignores any changes that you've made in master.passwd. The easier solution is to use use "vipw" which opens up the master.passwd file with vi (or whatever editor EDITOR is set to). Also, using the chfn, chpass, & chsh all also run the pwd_mkdb command after making your edits. Hopes this helps. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill A. K.

Make a directory, and when you learn something, document whatever it is, and an example of it, eg, getenv() you just learned how to use, document it in getenv.c with an example, so if you forget something at a later date, you can go back and refrence it.

That means good readability, not looks. Whereas beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, readability assuredly does not. Barring the by now ancient amber CRT phosphor colors most research shows that black on white (note the order) is best readable. The FreeBSD site is emminently readable, whereas the old freshmeat site was not. In fact with my previous monitor's settings I couldn't even read that site without upping the brightness (I'm a programmer, for text high contrast is needed contrary to the high brightness for graphics work). Clearly I was not alone in that they changed to a much brighter color scheme. As well as black"er" on white lettering. > (i just realized how dumb this letter sounds, but hey its 8:30 in the > morning what do you expect) It's always 8.30 in the morning someplace.

I upgraded & now things are happily motoring through my networks. I have a specific question for you though. Your reply hints 'alias pptp' support in user ppp, however after searching through the man page Ive found nothing on this. Im currently running PoPtOp ( developed on linux) to do VPN serving on my BSD servers at work, it seems to integrate seemlessly with both kernel PPPD & user PPP. Do you have any plans on integrating an MS-LIKE VPN suite into user ppp?

And why are you doing a lot of work as root? I just log in under my normal account, which uses zsh, and use `su -m' when I need root, which keeps me under zsh when working as root, even though root's shell is /bin/sh.

I've switched to zsh now though, but I think that is what I used in bash.

These passwords work fine using this encryption method on Linux, Solaris and Windows but when I use it on FreeBSD, the crypt call encrypts using md5. Why has the standard crypt call been changed? I know I can switch to libdes and it works, but then I lose long passwords in my master.passwd file as md5 is no longer used during changing of passwords. Anyone got a solution which allows me to: * have the C crypt call use standard encryption as on other unix platforms * have apache read my .htaccess passwords as on Linux/Solaris * have perl return the normal crypt responce when I use the crypt call * use md5 passwords on my master.passwd file? The reason I ask is because RedHat Linux does it so I am confident it can also be done with FreeBSD. from, Matthew Enger menger@kgv.edu.hk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 24 0: 6:20 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (f44.law3.hotmail.com [209.185.241.44]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 6DF021509D for ; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 00:06:18 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dunaedain@hotmail.com) Received: (qmail 70778 invoked by uid 0); 24 Aug 1999 07:04:59 -0000 Message-ID: <19990824070459.70777.qmail@hotmail.com> Received: from 203.23.90.232 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 00:04:58 PDT X-Originating-IP: [203.23.90.232] From: "lachlan kanaley" To: FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Instalation problems Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 07:04:58 GMT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG hello im trying to install FBSD, and am repeatedly getting this error message during the install process: error mounting /mnt/dev/wd0s1e on /mnt/usr : Invalid Arguement and then the instalation doesnt work properly. can anyone help thanks lachlan also pls send as private reply as im not a member on this mailing list ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 24 0:28:32 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from rucus.ru.ac.za (rucus.ru.ac.za [146.231.29.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 8629615496 for ; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 00:28:25 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from nbm@rucus.ru.ac.za) Received: (qmail 59650 invoked by uid 1003); 24 Aug 1999 07:25:54 -0000 Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 09:25:54 +0200 From: Neil Blakey-Milner To: cjclark@home.com Cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: Collecting Ports' Distfiles Message-ID: <19990824092554.B58011@rucus.ru.ac.za> References: <199908240351.XAA00751@cc942873-a.ewndsr1.nj.home.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.6i In-Reply-To: <199908240351.XAA00751@cc942873-a.ewndsr1.nj.home.com>; from Crist J.

Hi,
 
We are looking for a method to enable a second network to talk through our first network to our isp.
 
The first network works fine. We have been able to get the two unix boxes to talk to each other and the second unix box can see the internet. We are just having trouble with the second network talking.
 
Gut feel is a routing problem, can anyone send examples of how they did it and what programs they used. We are using ppp -alias -auto. Do we need to use natd instead of ppp -alias?

You can get the latest version of ppp from http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html if you're interested - the ``alias'' command has been superceded by the ``nat'' command (although ``alias'' is still supported). WRT an MS-LIKE VPN, the design of PPTP seems quite horrible to me. I doubt it'll ever make it into user-ppp. At the moment, skip or PPPoSSH is your best option with user-ppp. I have plans to look at IPSEC. > On Mon, 23 Aug 1999, Brian Somers wrote: > > > > Has anyone succesfully routed GRE throught ipfw or natd? > > > Here's my siduation; at home I have my dosbox behind freebsd3.1 via 10mbit > > > utp.

Let me add to this that we decided on paper that the background should be white, and the print blank. In fact, we usually go to a lot of trouble to make the paper as white as possible. I wonder why so many people feel differently for computer text? Also - I have several acquaintances with vision problems. Some tell me that besides a small font, a dark background with light text is the most difficult to read. Others tell me its preferable. What this points to is the ability to be as generic as possible, and let the reader decide...

I'd like to be able to (eventually) get http, ftp, mail, news, irc, and hopefully ICQ access to the internet from boxes on the LAN running whatever operating system. Hopefully I've included all the stuff needed for someone to diagnose my problems I've read (but not understood) the Pedantic PPP Primer, the PPP MAN, the PPP FAQ, the Network Administrators Guide, but not getting anywhere fast I have a 8 IP addresses from 203.3.126.128 - 135, subnet 255.255.255.248 My "resolv.conf" file lists both nameservers domain.apana.org.au nameserver 203.3.126.1 nameserver 203.3.126.3 My "Routing Table" default 203.3.126.128 UGSc 0 0 fxp0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 6 lo0 203.3.126.128 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff: UHLWb 1 0 fxp0 => 203.3.126.128/29 link#1 UC 0 1 fxp0 203.3.126.129 203.3.126.130 UGHS 1 10710 fxp0 203.3.126.130 0:a0:c9:21:12:48: UHLW 1 0724 lo0 Due to my lack of experience, simplicity of configuration is ESSENTIAL, so its probably best to avoid potentially tricky stuff like masquerading or the like. The phone system in Australia is a bit unusual, we get untimed local calls, but pay up to 25c for each local one ..... consequently its desirable for those who have a permanent dialup connection to keep it up permanently. Dial on demand is NOT a good thing here like it is in US with "free" local phone calls. Cable connections are virtually unknown in private homes here, due to the pricing policy of the dominant carrier. 203.3.126.129 is used for dialup modem interface, and 203.3.126.130 for the NIC in the local gateway box At the server end, there are two DNS boxes, 203.3.126.1 & 203.3.126.3, and a http proxy at 203.3.126.3 port 3128 I believe the correct IP address for remote gateway is 203.3.126.1 Neither PAP or CHAP are used, only the prompts for login & password, although dialling can be automated in Win9x with a script. I can dial up manually, using "ppp", "term", ATDT, but can't understand how to even begin preparing a chat script, so any sort of automatic dialling is out of the queston for the immediate future. I have a local hosts file setup on the gateway box, and can successfully ping other boxes on the LAN by either name or IP address. Initially I could not get a response from the local gateway box modem interface (203.3.126.129), so I put a line in /etc/rc.conf "route add 203.3.126.128 203.3.126.130" and now can get a response, although its rather weird 36 bytes from oracle.apana.org.au (203.3.126.130): Time to live exceeded .... then a couple lines of other strange stuff. Maybe this is just due to the fact that both the 203.3.126.129 & 203.3.126.130 interfaces are in the same box or something Once connected I can ping the first of the two DNS numbers (and get a response) but can't get a response from any other site. One of many areas in which I'm a bit uncertain is the dialog box for ethernet configuration when installing FreeBSD. Among other things, it asks for details of local IP address, subnet mask, whether or not the box is a gateway, and something about address of remote gateway. I've always put the first of the two DNS numbers here as I have been led to believe thats the correct thing, although I've never had to enter that in any Windows box and I've setup hundreds of them. Given that my local ppp interface always uses the same number, should I use something other than 203.3.126.1 for that ? Another area of concern is the ppp.conf file ...... I'm 99% confused about most of it .... reading the PPP MAN only makes me more confused every time I read it. If anyone has a dialup internet account and the type of login that prompts for login & password, I'd really appreciate a copy of their ppp.conf file as it might be a lot more help than the documentation has been. A lesser (but still annoying problem) is some kind of timeout that disconnects the line, apparently due to no data moving. What do I need to do to keep the line up permanently even if nothing happens for hours. I might add here that I pay for a dedicated connection, its my line & my modem both ends, so its not as if I am "hogging" a common line. The last of my problems for now ...... other than "Control Alt Delete", how do I tell the PPP connection to disconnect when I want it to ?? Seems thats another of the "trivial" basics thats impossible to readily locate in anything I've read so far.

I use a LinkSys 8-port 10/100 switch at home to connect a FreeBSD box and several Win9X boxes, most with Intel EtherExpress cards. Basically, I've never had more than three FreeBSD boxes on that net at the same time, so my ability to stress the switch is limited, (the Win9X boxes are bottlenecked by the hard drives, the FreeBSD boxes are happy throwing null packets, so aren't bound the same way). I've managed to get more performance out of that than out of a hub, so I'm quite happy with it. Never had a problem with it, it just works, unlike the switches at work (3Coms never gave us a problem, SMCs do, and the unmarked one that we can't figure out doesn't like any 100Mb that isn't autonegotiated).

SMB changes! Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG after upgrading from 3.1 stable to 3.2 stable via cvs I noticed that the output from arp -a has changed... looks like for the better as now I dont have to permenat publish my gateway of last resort ( wich would always drop or expire after extend periods of no use ). A bad side affect wich I cant be sure what in this update is responcible for is, workstations on remote networks fail to authenticate ( log on to NT domain ) via samba. The version of samba im using is 2.0.3. My networks look like this... Inet pipe 198.143.201/24 -> FBSD multihomed two net cards ipforwarding. FBSD Interfaces are ed1 @ 192.168.1.10 ed2 @ 198.143.201.10. This box is connected to 2 other networks 192.168.2/24 & 192.168.3/24 via bay routers. All workstations on 192.168.1/24 that are configured to require validation from network happily do so, however since the 3.1 to 3.2 upgrade the workstations on the remote networks wont validate with samba. Remote network connectivity is verified, routers are configured for spanning tree bridging & netbios over tcp. Whats particularly interesting about this is that when i reconfig the MS workstations not to authenticate & login to NT domain, they can see & access the FBSD box running samba using USER level security as well as access their home directories with the correct priveledges. Im stumped.

They can't connect to you because there is no way initiate a connection directly to you machine. If you initiate the connection the bsd machine knows what to do with the packets at that point. You have a couple potential choices (I don't know freetel that well). If freetel uses static port numbers, and doesn't just randomly assign them. You can have ppp re-route all packets on that port to your machine inside the network... Or, if freetel supports socks, you can setup a socks 5 server (in the ports) and have that handle all requests. (This is a good idea if you run icq also). -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: root@vetex.dhis.org [SMTP:root@vetex.dhis.org] > Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 1999 3:05 PM > To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: aliasing and freetel > > I have system conected via ppp -alias and it works > good for the most part but i have another > machine running "freetel" on win 95 > and people on the net cannot connect to me > but if i initiate the connection they can > talk to me. > > i was wondering if it might be due to > the ip addresses used on the internal net.? > > i believe freetel uses some real high ports like 30000 > or so. > > > ---------------------------------- > E-Mail: root@vetex.dhis.org or kf7nn@kf7nn.com > Date: 18-Aug-99 > Time: 11:55:20 > > She is not refined.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG A group in my company wish to have a web server installed. It's going to be used as a web server + e-commerce using our own homegrown solution that uses MySQL + apache + perl/CGI to serve the pages, manage the database and take people's money. It must satisfy at least the following requirements: o good performance o maybe >1 CPU o 256 - 512MB RAM o reliable hardware o reliable software o RAID - preferably "hot-swappable". It's connected to the world at 2MB/s shared. Because it's not carrying much data at the moment I don't need a fantastically large RAID disk array. Of course I'd love to use FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE, so can anyone recommend a good set-up? Perhaps someone has a similar configuration that works for them and they could recommend it. And of course they want it yesterday. Due to my HP-UX 10 past I fell in love with their LVM stuff, so I'd like to use vinum. Is vinum stable enough yet? (last time I checked it was considered beta, though I know some people have had few/no problems) Can I use it with any hot-swap drive/controller sombo' reliably? Input is greatly appreciated!

The client used to be able to mount the export with no problem, it can currently mount if I specify the client to use UDP (mount proto=udp nfs:/export). The client has been reset several times, the netstat -a output from the server for the relevant machine shows: # netstat -a | grep penfold tcp 0 0 virgo.sunrpc penfold.1022 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 virgo.nfsd penfold.1023 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 virgo.sunrpc penfold.1021 ESTABLISHED This occurs even when the client is down. I suspect that the TCP stack and/or NFS server on the server has somehow "wedged", and thus the client is having problems mounting. Is this likely? If so is there anything I can do about it, short of rebooting the server?

I prefer off-white for the bg and black (bold) fonts, but this may not work for everyone, obviously. Do you know how light the grey can be before you find it hard to read? I've played around with black on grey85 and it's fairly reasonable. I've also experiments with bright green|orange|blue typefaces on black... uhh, no.

The ppp one is in my opinion, one of the easier ones to understand. But I've already muddled my way through the ppp configuration. ddial doesn't appear in the config file anywhere. PPP needs to be started with that as a parameter. e.g. ppp -ddial pmdemand -ddial means always stay connected. > What I (and probably most people new to this stuff) need to be able to > comprehend what to do is simple "step by step" instructions, not heaps of > MAN pages > that are apparently written in some language I never learned > > > What does auto do you ask?

I'm sorry you find it so hard to read, but move on man. Attack it systematically and if you genuinely can't grasp a consept then ask. You've got a 1000 questions, and they are all dependent on one another. man ppp does exactly what all man pages are intended to do, gives you information on how to use the program, config options, command line options. It's not a FAQ. And it's actually a hell of a lot more informative than most man pages I've read. And I'm far from a UNIX guru, I'm an average user, I just happen to have more experience in this than you do because I've been through it before. > Since its way beyond my ability to even think about messing with chat > scripts at this point, is there any reason to confuse myself any further > with autodial if it > involves chat stuff ?? > I guess not.

Then login is automated and you don't have to deal with chat scripts. :) I hate to break it to you but this isn't a failing in ppp or FreeBSD. If you were running the king of user friendly, windows 9x, you would have the exact same problem. I've scripted a login for win before my isp finally started supporting PAP. Ohmygod, if you think that chat script is bad... Anyway... I think you need to take a step back, attack one concept, and only one concept, at a time and then ask for help when you get stuck. -Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 24 10:21: 2 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ns.clientlogic.com (ns.clientlogic.com [207.51.66.75]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B89A815D71 for ; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 10:17:44 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ChrisMic@clientlogic.com) Received: by site0s1 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 13:17:31 -0400 Message-ID: <6C37EE640B78D2118D2F00A0C90FCB4401105BDD@site2s1> From: Christopher Michaels To: 'Doug Young' Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: PPP Stuff Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 13:20:08 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG What do you need alias for?

Say the problematic network is network y.y.y.0 and the network that works is x.x.x.0 and the second box has IP addresses x.x.x.a and y.y.y.b. On the second unix box Try a 'ping -S x.x.x.a ip_of_ppp_box' it should work for obvious reasons. Next try 'ping -S y.y.y.b ip_of_ppp_box'. If that does not work, then the box running ppp does not have a route to network y.y.y.0. Add it by route add -net y.y.y.0 x.x.x.a If the networks are subnets of the same class C I would ensure the the netmasks are set correctly. - Barrett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 24 10:26:33 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ns.clientlogic.com (ns.clientlogic.com [207.51.66.75]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A2D321586C for ; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 10:26:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ChrisMic@clientlogic.com) Received: by site0s1 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 13:26:24 -0400 Message-ID: <6C37EE640B78D2118D2F00A0C90FCB4401105BDE@site2s1> From: Christopher Michaels To: "'cjclark@home.com'" Cc: "FreeBSD Questions (E-mail)" Subject: RE: Block port 21?

If you have the ports collection, cd /usr/ports/www and figure out which Apache port you want, cd to that directory and do a: make install clean as root. Then start it using the apachectl (in /usr/local/sbin) and you'll be off and running. You could also just do /usr/local/sbin/httpd as well.

You need to change this in your configure call (can't remember the exact sequence, but something like this - read the top part of configure to find the exact syntax): configure --with-gtk-config=/usr/local/bin/gtk12-config It may be capital letters on the --with-GTK-CONFIG bit.... as I said, check the configure script to find the exact syntax.

OK.... I do this, with reasonable success. On a NIS client, here are relevant rc.conf.local entries (3.2-R): nisdomainname="nis.whistle.com" nis_client_enable="YES" amd_enable="YES" amd_flags="-nr -k i386 -l syslog -x all" amd_map_program="ypcat -k amd.master" On the NIS master, I also turn on nis_server_enable & nis_ypxfrd_enable. The (NIS) map "amd.master" contains the mountpoint/map pairs to use for amd.

Sounds like your map file is not NISified.. here is the Makefile snipit that I used to generate a good NIS map from an amd map: $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/amd.ump.time: $(YPSRCDIR)/amd.ump @/usr/bin/cat $(YPSRCDIR)/amd.ump | \ /usr/local/bin/perl \ -pe 's:\\\s*\n|\s*#.*|^\s*\n::g;s:\s{2,}: :g' | \ $(MAKEDBM) - $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/amd.ump; @touch $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/amd.ump.time; @echo "updated amd.ump"; @if [ ! $(NOPUSH) ]; then $(YPPUSH) -d $(DOM) amd.ump; fi @if [ ! $(NOPUSH) ]; then echo "pushed amd.ump"; fi Note.. this is from an HP Makefile. So the Makefile targets may need modification if you drop it in place. - branson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Branson Matheson " If you are falling off of a mountain, Unix Systems Manager You may as well try to fly."

Thanks guys! http://www.sendmail.org/m4/anti-spam.html Relaying (transmission of messages from a site outside your domain to another site outside your domain) is denied by default. Note that this changed in sendmail 8.9; previous versions allowed relaying by default. If you want to revert to the old behaviour, you will need to use FEATURE(`promiscuous_relay'). You can allow certain domains to relay through your server by adding their domain name or IP address to class 'R' ($=R) using RELAY_DOMAIN() and RELAY_DOMAIN_FILE() or via the access database.

The simplest way I solved this in the past was to have a simple script replace the login shell for a particular user(s) so that when they called in, they logged in (shell style with login prompt) and the script placed a "bird dropping" file in a particular area and dropped the line. A cron process was set up to check that area for the presence of the file (every minute or so)...indicating someone had dialed in. The cron process then initiated a dial-out process to a fixed number. The receiving end would be waiting to accept the call and establish a ppp session. To allow for multiple call back numbers, you could assign different numbers to "call-back users". The bird dropping file would contain a reference to a specific number and the cron process would feed that reference to the dial out process. For example, you could have the script drop the username into the bird dropping file and have the cron process fire up a ppp process such as: ppp `cat /tmp/bird-drop` where /tmp/bird-drop is the name of the file created by the login script and contains the name of the ppp.conf label related to the specific call-back number.....

X support of graphic cards is really an XFree86 issue. That said, XFree86 3.3.4, released just about a month ago, does support both of those cards. However, I found that the drivers didn't like my G400 with 32MB of RAM (Heck, I didn't even want a G400, let alone one with 32MB of ram, but it was the only good 2D card I could get on short notice), and I had to explicitly tell it to use 16MB.

I've also experiments with bright > green|orange|blue typefaces on black... uhh, no. I have a tendancy to like bright white on dark blue but it depends on the font. When the font is terrible, I go for black on white. I can read it down to about 4 point type on a 19" monitor. Combinations of dark red or green on black kills me. The fact that these phosphour's are every third one, probably has something to do with it, i.e., a real lack of definition. I can read it if I jump the monitor back to 640 x 480 from 1152 x 854 or 1600 x 1280 but then I am running *Window* because I can only have one window on the screen at a time. > > Has anybody on the list found any websites with presentation > information?

I have the 4 disk set for 3.2. I tried installing from the CD but FreeBSD does not find the CD drive when it does the hardware probe. I've given up on trying to install from CD. I already patitioned the hard drive. I have decided to install FreeBSD from the partition with Microsoft Windows 98 already on it. My question is what files should I copy from the CD onto my hard drive to get FreeBSD on my machine so I can use FreeBSD with X and most of programs a clueless newbie like myself would need to learn?

I notice several folks wanting to get permission from stardivision to distribute things this way; it is probably better to get them to fix the underlying problem so the workaround isn't needed in the first place. There are several things that work better than your description indicate - 1. Install library problem is easiest fixed by just giving setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /tmp/sv001.tmp (or equivalent for the installer's shell) before running the initial setup. This is much easier than manually unpacking and changing the names from upper case. 2. After an install into /usr/local/Office51, change the line Mode = STANDALONE; to Mode = NETWORK; in /usr/local/Office51/instdb.ins. This removes the need for the symlink script, only installing a meg or so of per-user config stuff into ~/Office51; an advantage is that user's configs don't conflict. 3. .sversionrc ends up pointing to /usr/local/Office51 after all this. It needs to point to ~/Office51 (probably with an absolute path for ~). After all of these star office runs as intended with most files shared. (these were all gleaned from various notes to questions, and the notes in freebsdrocks)... I notice that application startup once in the staroffice desktop is SLOOOOWWWWW!!. -- Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 24 13:52:11 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from gershwin.tera.com (gershwin.tera.com [207.224.230.28]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4832C15158; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 13:52:01 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kline@tera.com) Received: from athena.tera.com (athena.tera.com [207.224.230.169]) by gershwin.tera.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA22055; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 13:49:25 -0700 (PDT) From: Gary Kline Received: (from kline@localhost) by athena.tera.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA05311; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 13:49:24 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199908242049.NAA05311@athena.tera.com> Subject: Re: FreeBSD webdesign In-Reply-To: <37C2EF8C.6AB910E0@3-cities.com> from Kent Stewart at "Aug 24, 99 12:16:28 pm" To: kstewart@3-cities.com (Kent Stewart) Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 13:49:24 -0700 (PDT) Cc: kline@tera.com, Networks.Manager@rncm.ac.uk, rivers@dignus.com, k4n@hotmail.com, roelof@nisser.com, freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL23 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG According to Kent Stewart: > > > Gary Kline wrote: > > > > I've played around with black on grey85 and it's fairly > > reasonable.

I have installed off of a DOS partition, and one of the things that I discovered is that the CD directories and files need to be at the root of the partition in order for the installation to work. You cannot put them in a sub-directory, there is no option to install from a sub-directory on a DOS partition that I have seen. This might make a bit of a mess if you already have Windows installed on the partition. > My question is what files should I copy from the CD onto my > hard drive to get FreeBSD on my machine so > I can use FreeBSD with X and most of programs > a clueless newbie like myself would need to learn? When I did it, I just put all of Disk1 on the DOS partition, and that pretty much made it easy to install most anything I wanted. Damien Tougas.

The driver part is pretty stable, but the configuration management is still a little suspect. This basically means that you can shoot yourself in the foot with it if you try. Early versions of VERITAS had the same problem. This shouldn't affect the reliability of the product. > Can I use it with any hot-swap drive/controller sombo' reliably? There shouldn't be any problem with that. I need to add some functionality for replacing drives: at the moment you need to re-disklabel the replacement drive and save configuration manually.

You will only know if FreeBSD is for you if you try it. Whatever someone on this list tells you is "their reason" why they like FreeBSD. Try it and decide for yourself. Do remember when you try that there will be probably things which you are used to do in a certain way which may be different, but that is the case with the different Linux Distros anyway..

Marc,

I run a Solaris/FreeBSD shop. We have several Solaris machine (2.6 & 2.7), and several FreeBSD machines (2.8,3.1,&3.2). (I do have Linux box, but I try to ignore it :-) )

When I go to my company they where a pure Solaris shop (Intel Bad!). But when they need a new mail server, I suggested that we get a FreeBSD machine (1/3 the cost!) they said go for it. The Unix guru was very sceptical, but after a few weeks and all of the bug being worked out, he is happy with it.

I did run into 2 nasty little gotcha's, ok 3.

1. NIS+, Bitchen idea, hard to have NIS clients. Got it to work! Life is good.
2. NFS v3. rpc.lockd doesn't work! Don't even try! You need to tell your Solaris boxes to mount with version 2. This is a bad idea if you need to have file locking. Bummer!
3. You will never have a small log file again if you mount a nfs mount from a FreeBSD machine. I get this message about every 5 minutes:  mysun statd[150]: statd: cannot talk to statd at myfreebsd, RPC: Success(0)

Once you get past the on being system 5 and the other being bsd life is good. amd is also a very good automount daemon.

Giving a "-d " makes it be its own cron. OTOH, I just assumed daemon mode would be the way to go. But... is it really? Crontab does indeed prevent the above problem and its overhead in starting fetchmail should be negligable. Again thanks, with that daemon mode on the brain I hadn't considered this solution.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was toying aroud with windowmanagers and VNC when it happenned... The system ran out of file handles. Symptoms of this grave illness were: too many open files in system nisser: kernel: file : table is full As well as several other assorted complaints among which where panicy messages from sendmail. Which of course makes me wonder whether I did lose any mail or did it yet manage to convey the imminent failure to the other party? Also the params of my basically stock and just CVSupped 3.2 system are: nisser:/$ sysctl -a | grep files kern.maxfiles: 360 kern.maxfilesperproc: 360 p1003_1b.mapped_files: 0 nisser:/$ Now the 360 files per process looks reasonable to me, but 360 files systemwide? No way. This occurred with just 3 users active (plus two VNC sessions, make it 5) most tunning KDE. Not really an excessive load as far as Unix systems go, I would say. Yet clearly enough to exhaust the max. file handle kernel space. The system of course runs sendmail, apache, ircd, whatever, though in a very modest way. The question now becomes what is the best way to up the limit? I could give "sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=3600" to set it to a somewhat more egrecious value, though not generous by far. Would it survive, say, a reboot? What are my other options? Are there more of these kind of gotchas? I mean, I can look at the output of sysctl -a, but that doesn't necessarily mean I grock it. Sure, I could dive into my stack of old Dr. Dobbsen but ... well, whose to say I'ld grock that? Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.

I assume you mean the distfiles. _Almost_ all do, but due to licensing issues there might be a few that cannot be included with the CDs. More often however, distfiles can become obsolete by the time the CDs are actually reaching customers. But the distfiles on the CDs and the Makefiles in the /usr/ports directories should be in sync. > Can these be installed from the install program? Ports are typically added by changing to the port's directory in /usr/ports and then just typing 'make install'. You will need to do this as super-user.

This is not really directly related to FreeBSD, but rather to what XFree86 uses as a default window manager. It is twm(1). > Can you tell me of some laptops you know work with FreeBSD 3.2? I would expect just about any Intel-based laptop would 'work' just fine... However, people often have trouble with the exotic video cards and have trouble getting X to run. Also, PCMIA cards are a known sore point, so you might have trouble getting all of your peripherial devices to work. Sorry, I've never found laptops to useful and have no experience using them with FreeBSD. I have computers at the office and a computer at home, and with a dedicated Internet connection at both locations, I can freely exchange info between them all. -- Crist J.

It won't survive a reboot unless you set it in your kernel or you could stick your "sysctl -w ..." line into /etc/rc.local. maxfiles is set to 2*(20+16*MAXUSERS), and MAXUSERS is set in your kernel config. You can also seperately define MAXFILES using an "options" line in kernel config. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 24 23:54: 3 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ofts.sea.ru (ofts.sea.ru [194.87.190.198]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3DACC14CEC for ; Tue, 24 Aug 1999 23:53:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from pavel@ofts.sea.ru) Received: from ofts.sea.ru (adv.ofts [192.168.1.10]) by ofts.sea.ru (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA04327 for ; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 10:47:49 +0400 (MSD) (envelope-from pavel@ofts.sea.ru) Message-ID: <37C391C6.A4342103@ofts.sea.ru> Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 10:48:38 +0400 From: "Pavel V.

Their discussion should be in the web-accessible archive by now (accessible through the search function on the freebsd.org web site) I _do_ know that the more common chipsets of today work quite well. NeoMagic chipsets are now supported, as is ATI Rage LT Pro. The definitive list of what's supported and what's not is at www.xfree86.org, as FreeBSD runs in text mode just fine on any video card, but XFree86 needs to have support for your video card for you to get X working in anything byt 320x2?0x8bpp or 640x480x4bpp. The PCMCIA card issue goes like this: most PCMCIA controllers are supported. CardBus controllers are supported through PCMCIA compatibility mode. CardBus cards are not supported, but there is a project in progress to fix that. If FreeBSD 3.2-R doesn't support your PCMCIA card out of the box, you can install the PAO patches from http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO and see if that makes things work better (it did for me with 2 different laptops). Two other issues are sound chips and integrated modems. Most Crystal Semiconductor or ESS Tech. or other Windows Sound System cards should work pretty well. If it's a PCI sound chip (like mine, the ESS 19-something or other), then you're out of luck. Your integrated modem will only work under FreeBSD if it's not a Winmodem (like the LT WinModem I have *argh*) or another modem with "HSP" or "HCF" in its name. (In case you're wondering why I have the laptop I have, despite its unsupported sound and modem, I have it because 1) the integrated modem is unimportant to me 2) I can wait for FreeBSD to support my PCI sound card 3) I got a _very_good_deal_ on my laptop) --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 25 0: 0:26 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from inet.chip-web.com (c1003518-a.plstn1.sfba.home.com [24.1.82.47]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id AE68514CEC for ; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 00:00:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ludwigp@bigfoot.com) Received: (qmail 21063 invoked from network); 25 Aug 1999 06:59:50 -0000 Received: from toy.chip-web.com (@172.16.1.30) by inet.chip-web.com with SMTP; 25 Aug 1999 06:59:50 -0000 Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 23:59:22 -0700 (PDT) From: Ludwig Pummer X-Sender: ludwigp@toy.chip-web.com To: "Pavel V.

I remember that there was a discussion on the freebsd-isp list a while ago, and basically the consensus was: 1) most SCSI tape drives work 2) stay away from Travan drives if _restoring_ your data from tape is important to you.

Hmm. It depends. In the latest STABLE sources, I see that /etc/hosts.deny has been deprecated. ALL rules should go into /etc/hosts.allow now. Of course, YMMV, depending on which version of FreeBSD you're running. > Because I couldn't get my machine to deny service to anything not > in hosts.allow until I explicitly denied access to everything in > hosts.deny. The rules work on a "first match wins" basis. So, if you have a rule that allows access before one that denies it to a host you want to block, the host will be allowed anyway. If you want to block anything, do be sure not to enable the rule at the top of hosts.allow: ALL : ALL : allow This will cause anything that comes later to be ignored. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Conrad Sabatier Date: 25-Aug-99 Time: 04:59:12 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 25 3:21:19 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mailserver.display-umea.se (mailserver.display-umea.se [194.165.230.48]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1512B15033 for ; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 03:21:16 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from meyer@display-umea.se) Received: from localhost (meyer@localhost) by mailserver.display-umea.se (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA01951 for ; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 12:34:44 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from meyer@display-umea.se) Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 12:34:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Erik Meyer To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: What has happened to all cvs servers?

Well, you can compile CUPS and use the sample HP drivers, however if memory serves the LJ 1100 is a Windows-only printer (no PCL support in the printer), so you won't be able to use it anyways... :( FWIW, we are planning on supporting FreeBSD (and OpenBSD, and NetBSD) sometime soon (maybe as soon as the beginning of 2000), but right now we're swamped just getting the Linux and Digital UNIX ports working. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Michael Sweet, Easy Software Products mike@easysw.com Printing Software for UNIX http://www.easysw.com "I do software development for Linux; where's my sledgehammer?"

Yes, that is a known problem. The only operations allowed from a NIS client side on the netgroup table are the ypmatches, but not ypcat (i.e. no support for yp_first(), yp_next() or yp_all() calls). The netgroup table is kind of unique in this. The reason for this is that the netgroup table format changed quite significantly in NIS+ and the NIS+ server would take a big performance hit in converting the netgroups table to YP (key-value) format. I should have checked there before posting. Argh. One would think Sun should give users an option to decide whether they want this "performance hit" or not. A flag to rpc.nisd for example.

Normally fsck will fix any dirty filesystems at boot time, but if it fails it will drop you into single user mode. Press return when it asks what shell to run (/bin/sh is default) Then just type 'fsck /usr' and if it cleans it ok, type 'mount /usr' That should fix the problem.

Not all ISPs have the same address at the other end of the link, especially when it's a dynamically assigned address. So, since putting a static address in the conf file is a bad idea for most people, there's a variable to represent what the other side of the link is. That's all it means.

Grabbed directly from the FreeBSD 3.2 RELEASE Notes http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.2R/notes.html : TCP Wrappers is now part of the base system. inetd, the port mapper, and sendmail are now linked agaist libwrap. The "PROCESS_OPTIONS" syntax is the default. Note that you do not need to use tcpd in /etc/inetd.conf. See `man 5 hosts_options' and `man 8 inetd` for more information. I really want to know how to enable this without to install the port, and without to use tdpd in /etc/inetd.conf, just like it says in the Release Notes of FreeBSD 3.2.

I'm trying to get sound to my KDE desktop. When trying to build the kernel, I'm getting an error code 1 from a function in "set_irq_hw" and "sb16_dsp_detect" stating an undefined reference to "sb_setmixer". I've tried using just the sb0 device in the kernel and I get a "NOTE! SB Pro support required with your soundcard! during the boot process. Any idea what this needs? This is what prompted me to try the sbxvi0 and sbmidi0 devices which gives the error code 1. Do I even need these devices? With just the sb0 everything loads but I still have no sound from the desktop. Any help as to what I'm missing would be greatly appreciated.

The OS supposedly had a problem with the newer AudioPCI chips (the 1371) but works with the 1370 (the older chip). However there is a patch that allows the 1371 to work. If you need this patch, ask the list where to get it, I don't know for sure. Do this: Add this line to your kernel configuration (I usually just put it at the end of the file): device pcm0 then do all the config, make depend, make, make installl, etc. then reboot. try this at a shell prompt for a quick reboot: fastboot then look at the kernel boot output (during booting or with dmesg) see what pcm number it assigns to your card. For me under FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE, it got pcm1, under 4.0-CURRENT, it got pcm0 if it got pcm0 then: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV snd0 if it got pcm1 then: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV snd1 and so on etc, etc then after that, do this cd /dev cat audio if you get a big pile of garbage, thats good. press Control + C to stop it then type this: mixer vol 100 mixer pcm 100 mixer cd 100 (if you want to play cds) and so on, just type mixer to see what other volumes you can adjust finally, play a sound, amp is good if you have any mp3 files laying around.

The machine dials up the ISP correctly and connects. The only problem is that the interface never appears. If I do a netstat -rn after the machine is dialed-up the ppp0 interface doesn't exist. I have tried manually ifconfig'n the ppp0 interface with the values. It will then appear but not function (I'm probably not doing it right). The ppp0 interface has been added in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. I have set this up numerous time in 2.2.x but never in 3.2. Anyone have an suggestions on the differences can be causing this to happen in 3.2? Is there some changes that need to be done that didn't need to be done in 2.2.x?

You don't need to sighup inetd. From one of your previous postings you're getting the following error: Aug 25 03:37:05 unix inetd[82105]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 13: can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(customer18-197.telmex.net.mx) failed What appears to be happening, is that since the address can't be verified to be from that domain it is not denying. That error, if you didn't know, is saying it cannot resolve "customer18-197.telmex.net.mx". They appear to have DNS resolution problems. What I would suggest is to see if you can find out the range of ip addresses they use and try denying that, e.g. telnetd : 200.33.146. : deny See if that works. Also I do not know if there is a way to deny all addresses that do not resolve. I will look into that, because I'd like to know myself. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Alejandro Ramirez [SMTP:ales@megared.net.mx] > Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 1999 11:23 AM > To: Christopher Michaels; FreeBSD Questions > Subject: RE: tcp wrappers > > Hi, > > This are the only 3 lines that I have uncommented in my > /etc/hosts.allow > file: > > telnetd : .telmex.net.mx : deny > telnetd : .itesm.mx : deny > ALL : ALL : allow > > the rest of the file its commented.

So given your formula, which does ring a bell albeit faintly, that would mean MAXUSERS defaults to 10. I can live with that, but I think the formula is to weak for interactive GUI use. Tentatively I would say it has to be 32 and in our specific case more like 160. Anyway, where is the description of these params if not in LINT? On a whim I would say the manual and whaddayaknow a direct hit. It even has the same formula although now attributed to the maximum number of processes. No trace of MAXFILES though. I'll keep looking but any pointers will be appreciated. Even though it'll probably be some .h param. Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.

It is much easier to distinguish: I think that was his point. You can do that by creative use of the PS1 environmental variable, without needing a function. Works for me doing exactly what you are describing. I can't remember the exact syntax, but it is something like PS1="\033]2;[\h:\u]\w> \007[\h:\u]\w> " which puts the login name, host, and pwd in the title bar and in the command prompt.

Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it? Does it have something to do with the MAXUSERS setting in the kernel? I assume that it's nothing to take lightly, but I have been wrong before.

You have two options: (1) Install a boot manager other than "Booteasy". I have used OS-BS, which is available as ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/osbs* It works fine, and it recognizes more partition IDs than Booteasy does. (2) Hack Booteasy! The sources are at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/srcs/bteasy/ You could, for example, use something similar to bootinst.c to tell you the "system ID" of your NT partition and then add an entry in the translation table in boot.asm to print out an appropriate message.

I usually inserted a 8mm tape and backed up everthing into it (or at least the root filesystem, I am not sure. But I am sure SMIT in AIX has the system backup facility). If the system was corrupted, I just restored from the tape which is bootable. It was a lot easier than installing from scratch. Now I am asking if I can do similar things on FreeBSD. This time I want to use CD-ROM instead of tape (because I do not have a tape drive). In other words I want to create a ISO CD image from a live system. I can FTP the CD image to another NT machine and burn it. Any help is appreciated. -------------------------------------------------- Zhihui Zhang.

Yeah, I'd say at minimum you should deinstall all the perl stuff you have and build it fresh from the port. Whether that will do it for you or not depends on how hosed things are currently, which is why I suggested a complete system upgrade. That way you will have the latest perl in the base system and no need to fuss with confusing conflicts.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi there, I run a server with two eathernet interfaces. One of the interfaces serves our unregistered networks - 192.168/16 and the other is connected to our public ip space 198.146.203/24. The router (cisco 2600) has the IP of 198.146.203.5, the default route of the BSD box in question. Whats happening is I will loose connectivity to that (the cisco's) ip address, however, it still shows up in my routing table with a hardware address as well as the arp table with the correct MAC address. Pre 3.2 stable (3.1 stable) this would happen but I would loose all reference to the address' in both the routing & arp table, this was fixed by arp -s ipaddr macaddr PUB. What Ive noticed now is that when i try to permenantly publish the ip & mac of the routers ethernet interface, arp -a doesnt show it as (permenant published) but as [eathernet]. The temporary fix for this siduation has been just to re arp -S ipaddr macaddr, but it continues to sporatically loose connectivity. Another peice to this puzzle is that both eathernet interfaces are plugged into the same hub, this causes me to continually recieve console messages stating kernel ipaddr is on ed1 but got reply from macaddr on ed2. I really dont think that the kernel messages matter but it would be nice to get rid of them. The ARP issue is big though, I have the crontab entry from HE!! to re arp the routers ethernet interface every 5 mins. thanks for any & all help.

I'm running 3.2Release, I got the port tree upgrade (32upgrade.tgz) and used pkg_add to install it. I then grabbed the ports mysql-3.22.24-client.tar and mysql-3.22.24-server.tar. I noticed the server piece requires the client piece, so I decided to make the client piece first. make ran fine, but it's make install that fails. After the message about "generating packing list" is says 750 not found. Am I doing something wrong or is the port broke? Please cc me directly as I'm not on the list. Thanks in advance!

Do us this favor: 1. Connect to the isp. 2. add 0 0 203.3.126.1 3. verify you can't access anything on the internet. 4. paste the output of 'netstat -rn' in an e-mail message. 5. What is the exact output of traceroute? When does it give you the 'host unreachable'. 6. Also, what is the output of ifconfig -a -Chris P.S.

When you pick the settings you want add then to the ``allscreens'' line in /etc/rc.conf. I set mine to 80x30. This is from my /etc/rc.conf: font8x8="iso-8x8" font8x14="iso-8x14" font8x16="iso-thin-8x16" allscreens_flags="-m on VGA_80x30" The ``-m on'' turns the console mouse on.

I will admit the best resource is to have someone else "in-the-know" who is able to help you out when you get stuck. The next best thing is this mailing list, and I can tell you that I would not know what I do today if it weren't for the great people here helping me out. Don't give up hope, it does get easier from here.

And point well taken. But, also, for the record, I've never had as much trouble as you are having with setting up ppp, not even on my 1st try. I don't genuinely know if it's a routing problem. That's why I'd like you to send the list the output of 'netstat -rn' and 'ifconfig -a'. Hopefully someone (if not myself) can determine that. One other thing, while I know that the other end of your link is supposed to be the ip address that you stated earlier, and most likely is. I'd like to know, does the output of "show ipcp" (at the PPP> prompt) actually display that number for "His Address". > I'm re-installing BSD again now ..... should have it ready to dialup again > in half hour with a bit of luck so I'll se if I can manage to copy that > ppp.conf / netstat -nr stuff etc file then To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 25 15:44:23 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from jaguar.ir.miami.edu (jaguar.ir.miami.edu [129.171.32.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 231D11506D for ; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 15:44:19 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from marcus@miami.edu) Received: from jaguar.ir.miami.edu ("port 3431"@jaguar.ir.miami.edu [129.171.32.10]) by jaguar.ir.miami.edu (PMDF V5.2-32 #30976) with ESMTP id <0FH100CLBLTR6E@jaguar.ir.miami.edu> for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 18:44:15 -0400 (EDT) Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 18:44:15 -0400 (EDT) From: "Joe \"Marcus\" Clarke" Subject: Re: Macintosh => FreeBSD => Internet In-reply-to: To: Ken Seggerman Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG You can check out a paper I wrote on this at http://jaguar.ir.miami.edu/~marcus/clarkead.pdf.

I bought a book "UNIX unleashed" and on the CD coming with the book I found the FREEBSD installation files. I followed the instruction in install.txt file, but I failed to finish the installation and boot into UNIX. I install MS-DOS first, and copied the FREEBSD folder from CD to C: drive. Then I start INSTALL.EXE. I choose "start kernel configuration in full screen visual mode". I take away all conflicting SCSI drivers, all conflicting CD-ROM drivers and all conflicting network card drivers except 3COM Ethernet III PCMCIA card. I do not leave any conflict at this step. Then I save the change and exit. The system probes the devices, and leads to main menu for FREEBSD installation. I choose "begin a novice installation (for beginners)". It leads to Disk Partition screen. I choose the unused space (1GB) then choose "C=Create Slice). I choose the default size (1GB), type of partition (165), then "Q=finish". I then choose to "install the freebsd boot manager ("booteasy"). Two other choices are "Install a standard MBR (no boot manager)" and " leave the Master Boot Record Untouched". Next comes the screen to create BSD partition inside fdisk partition. I choose "a=auto defaults for all". And then four partitions are created automatically: PART Mount size Newfs wd0s1 none 2047MB DOS wd0s2a / 32MB UFS Y wd0s2b swap 137MB swap wd0s2e /var 30MB UFS Y wd0s2f /usr 855MB UFS Y Then I choose "Q=Finish" In "choose distribution", I choose "average user - binaries and doc only" In "choose installation Media", I choose "install from a DOS partition". In "user Confirmation Request", I choose to wipe out the data on that partition. The system runs several programs, then comes " choose distribution". I choose "average user - binaries and doc only". Then there is a message: "Installation completed with some errors. You may wish to scroll through the debugging messages on VTY1 with the scroll-lock feature. You can also chose "NO" at the next prompt and go back into the installation menu to try and retry whichever operation have failed." After "OK" that message screen, it goes back to the main menu for FREEBSD installation. If start over again, I got the same error message. If I exit the installation and restart the computer, the screen shows "F1...DOS F2...BSD default: F? If I choose F2, the screen shows: Can't find file boot.config. Can't find file boot.hlp >>freebsd boot @ 0X10000: 638/64320 k of memory, internal console Boot default: 0:wd(0, a)kernel boot: can't find kernel I am not sure where I did wrong.

I've had this problem on two machines here. On one (an old 486 with an old quad-speed drive) the messages seems harmless: bootup proceeds and the CD drive works fine. On the other (a new AMD K6-2 with a 40-speed drive) the system hung at that message. I've updated to the latest -STABLE and the problem seems to have gone (I've rebooted successfully three times). I'm not sure what's been fixed, but something seems to have been. Also, I found putting a CD in the drive seemed to help.. but perhaps this was just coincidence, or me imagining it. You don't say what FreeBSD version this is.. You could either update to the latest -STABLE as I have, and see if that helps, or wait until 3.3 is released, which I beleive is just taken off the -STABLE branch and should have whatever fix I've picked up. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 25 17: 4:20 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mtiwmhc04.worldnet.att.net (mtiwmhc04.worldnet.att.net [204.127.131.39]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0FE4815699 for ; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 17:02:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jr-gibson@worldnet.att.net) Received: from worldnet.att.net ([12.74.56.175]) by mtiwmhc04.worldnet.att.net (InterMail v03.02.07.07 118-134) with ESMTP id <19990825235707.TZRK15925@worldnet.att.net> for ; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 23:57:07 +0000 Message-ID: <37C4846B.883BDAF3@worldnet.att.net> Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 19:03:55 -0500 From: Jackie Gibson Reply-To: jr-gibson@worldnet.att.net X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: web server Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I really do not know much about freebsd (or any other unix os) and would only like to set up a web server.

The FreeBSD box is basically a forwarder box that takes input from our internal mailer program and then feeds it to a SMTP mailer. So basically all it has to do is to do massive amount of forwarding with sendmail. What I am discovering is that it will only open 1 SMTP connection to our SMTP server instead of as much as possible. With Linux I get up to 200-300 sendmail processes. The sendmail.cf I use for both (Linux and FreeBSD) are identical, and I am running sendmail 8.9.3. The FreeBSD is 3.2-Release. My question is, are there settings with a rc file or a kernel switch which I can to force it to spawn more sendmail processs with FreeBSD? (I already recompiled the kernel). I guess this is a performance related question. I would really like to get rid of Linux and go with BSD on all our servers, and getting this to work will defiantely help me win BSD converts. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Jeffrey Chen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 25 17:40:53 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.rdc1.sfba.home.com (ha1.rdc1.sfba.home.com [24.0.0.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2442314FF5 for ; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 17:40:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from charon@freethought.org) Received: from C40948-A ([24.1.7.99]) by mail.rdc1.sfba.home.com (InterMail v4.01.01.00 201-229-111) with SMTP id <19990826003902.TLMS29524.mail.rdc1.sfba.home.com@C40948-A>; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 17:39:02 -0700 Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19990825173901.02727a80@mail> X-Sender: tuathadedanann@mail X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 17:39:01 -0700 To: Ludwig Pummer , dorian@lara.on.ca From: charon@freethought.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD 3.2 Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: References: <199908250445.AAA04624@cc942873-a.ewndsr1.nj.home.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG At 11:56 PM 8/24/99 -0700, Ludwig Pummer wrote: >The freebsd-laptops list had a discussion on this a short while ago.

Unfortunately, I can't help you, but I can give a bit more info. I've been having problems trying to get apsfilter too, and filed a pr with freebsd-ports, but it was closed because someone said they fixed the problem. They hadn't, so I emailed Andreas Klemm, who's in charge of it. He's on vacation, but his "vacation" message has a telling line in it, IMO - "If you have troble [sic] with apsfilter, please wait ;-)" So, we'll see. You could try fetching it by hand to see if you can't figure something out... if you do, let me know! -Charon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 25 17:47:36 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from inet.chip-web.com (c1003518-a.plstn1.sfba.home.com [24.1.82.47]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id AB7EA15BC6 for ; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 17:47:10 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ludwigp@bigfoot.com) Received: (qmail 24997 invoked from network); 26 Aug 1999 00:47:30 -0000 Received: from toy.chip-web.com (@172.16.1.30) by inet.chip-web.com with SMTP; 26 Aug 1999 00:47:30 -0000 Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 17:47:01 -0700 (PDT) From: Ludwig Pummer X-Sender: ludwigp@toy.chip-web.com To: charon@freethought.org Cc: dorian@lara.on.ca, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD 3.2 In-Reply-To: <3.0.5.32.19990825173901.02727a80@mail> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Wed, 25 Aug 1999 charon@freethought.org wrote: > At 11:56 PM 8/24/99 -0700, Ludwig Pummer wrote: > >The freebsd-laptops list had a discussion on this a short while ago. > > You mean freebsd-mobile?

The staff loved it. Then I decided to switch it over to 3.2-RELEASE and reconfigure the routers and the firewalling rules in order to make the proxying transparent. So I reformated the drive and installed from scratch. Its now FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE, Squid 2.1, and assorted other software. Now to the problem... It seems that Squid (both 2.1 from the ports and 2.2 from ftp.freebsd.org) will continue to use more and more RAM and VM as time passes. This happens even if no one visits any web pages. Worse still, the performance degrades to the point of taking well more than 5 or 10 minutes to return a web page to the client if Squid is left running for a few days. If I had to guess, I'd say that this is because it swaps a *lot* even when Squid isn't retrieving any web pages. Does anyone know what I can do to make this work better? I can't upgrade the RAM, unfortunately. However, the same amount of RAM was fine when I used the older software (2.2.5-RELEASE and 1.1 (not even the NOVM version)). Is there something that I'm over looking? A squid.conf setting that I should make, perhaps?

Hmpf. Not even a .h. And that for a #define. Tsk, tsk . Still, that only shows the ifndef case, not the #define itself. So... Hey, so that's where that dump went to. GNOME caused an internal compiler error you see. Besides that dump a "grep -R MAXFILES *" in "/usr/src/sys" didn't show up a thing. Barring the param.c case of course. Guess that means that MAXFILES can be set in the kernel configuration if so inclined. Not my cup of thee. Guess I'll bump the maxusers to the current default. Like the proverbial 640K, that ought to be enough for everybody . Guess that also exhausts this issue. Thanks for your efforts!

Which version of Squid 2.2 did you get? 2.2-STABLE4 fixed a memory leak or two, which could cause what you are seeing. It can be obtained and installed through a recent version of the ports collection, or the sources can be fetched directly from http://squid.nlanr.net. I recommend you use the ports collection, of course. To work around the problem you could also kill the squid daemon once a day or more often if required (such as from /etc/daily.local or a crontab entry). The daemon's parent, RunCache, will automatically restart it within 10 seconds. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Good morning, 'top' on my FreeBSD box shows the following : last pid: 36826; load averages: 0.15, 0.31, 0.33 131 processes: 1 running, 130 sleeping CPU states: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.4% interrupt, 99.2% idle Mem: 28M Active, 218M Inact, 22M Wired, 20M Cache, 8348K Buf, 214M Free Swap: 700M Total, 700M Free What caught my attention was the high value for "Inactive" memory. I've scoured the archive and most people seem to have a low "Inact" value, and few people have it more than the "Active" value. I found a very good post by David Gree, which stated : "The numbers represent the number of VM pages on various internal page queues that the kernel manages. The "active" queue is a queue of pages that the kernel, for a variety of reasons, considers "active". The "inactive" queue is similarly named, but is also used as a way of controlling the amount of dirty pages in the system (pages are moved to the inactive queue prior to being cleaned by the pagedaemon)." If I understand this correct and applying to my 'top' output (above), the Inact level means that I have 218 MB of RAM that has been used and is about to be released again. How long should it take for this to happen ? My Inact level has been hovering about 220 MB continuously. This box is just running a webserver and MySQL, averge 1.5 million hits/day with about 80% of pages being dynamically generated (straight python CGI).

I was wondering what stance FreeBSD will have when IBM publishes it's open motherboard specification for PowerPC based motherboards. Will the FreeBSD project embrace the PowerPC platform considering it will be open easily attainable? At work we have an AS/400 (nice database machine, although way overpriced) which uses the IBM PowerPC 64 bit chip. That machine cranks out alot of work using only one CPU -- it does everything from warehouse inventory control to supporting more than 50 users without breaking a sweat. I can only imagine the possibilies with FreeBSD ported to the PowerPC platform. Anyways, I was just curious to what plans are ahead for FreeBSD and the PowerPC.

I used to maintain that I could setup a NAT dial out on an NT Server faster than I could setup ppp on FreeBSD. That is still true but only if you haven't setup a FreeBSD kernel for a gateway. I used pmdemand basically right out of the sample file. I did delete everything in ppp.linkup and ppp.linkdown until I was left with pmdemand: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR for a linkup and pmdemand: iface clear for a linkdown. I set timeout to 600 because I want ppp to drop the line after 10 mins of inactivity and not my ISP. I also wanted the connect speed to be logged in the ppp.log. I invoke ppp with "ppp -auto pmdemand" The alias enable in pmdemand in ppp.conf is already established. I just had to change ppp on the login to my username and password. I use static local IP's and receive a dynamic IP from my ISP. I have setiathome running on NT. To make it work I found I have to run it from a batch file, which has a ping followed by a sleep 30 before I fireup setiathome. I auto terminate at the end of process in order to capture my result file. Then I ping, sleep, and xfer the data to Berkeley followed by a terminate. Then I run the batch file that uses the other set of data. This combination will autodial for days until Berkeley tries something and I can't connect and transfer data properly. If a transfer dies, I have 5-10 hours to download the next work unit. If I don't see the lack of a work unit, the batch files are very persistent until they get a set of data. I had tried doing something similar with NAT on NT but life was more difficult for FreeBSD going that way than NT going the other. FreeBSD dials fast enough that I don't have to play games with setiathome on FreeBSD. I get a message that chat failed once in a while but that is usually a busy line. The problem with the documentation is that there is too many options that really deal with using a machine as a server on the Internet and when you want the system to just demand dial out and alias for your other machines it is really KISS simple.

I just thought I'd add a bit more detail to the previous response. You should follow the directions at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html. You have to use the kernel config file to make a new kernel. Another tip, already briefly mentioned - try not to use 'root' as your normal login. A good solution is to make a regular user in the group 'wheel' so that you can 'su root' when necessary. -Charon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 26 0:44:45 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from atlas.usls.edu (linux1.usls.edu [202.47.133.46]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AF43D151DA; Thu, 26 Aug 1999 00:43:32 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from francis@usls.edu) Received: by atlas.usls.edu (Postfix, from userid 500) id 2D742A4BE; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 09:08:38 +0800 (PHT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by atlas.usls.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id F39CF7D8C; Wed, 25 Aug 1999 09:08:38 +0800 (PHT) Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 09:08:38 +0800 (PHT) From: "Francis A.

I've had this problem on two Yes, it hangs completely. I know from experience that *nix machines can appear to hang, but continue booting after a few minutes, so I just left it with the error message. After about thirty minutes, nothing had happened yet ;-) I'd call that a hang. > the other (a new AMD K6-2 with a 40-speed drive) the system hung at that That's what I have, too. AMD K6-2/400 with 128 MB, and the CD drive is a Lite-On LTN382, which seems to be a 40-speed ATAPI player. > Also, I found putting a CD in the drive seemed to help.. but perhaps > this was just coincidence, or me imagining it. That was my experience exactly -- although I think we're both imagining it. At one point, the machine would boot fine with a CD inside, but I've found that it doesn't help all the time. > You don't say what FreeBSD version this is.. You could either update to Sorry. It's 3.2-STABLE. The CDs are labelled "June 1999". At this point, as I have a working FreeBSD installation, I have simply disconnected the CD-ROM and will use NFS from one of the Linux boxes whenever I need a CD.

Denying access to a user could be achieved by changing his/her shell to "/sbin/nologin". I also think there is a port which also logs the attemps. This approach will allow you to temporarily deny access and when you want to re-instate this user you can just change the shell back. If this user is coming from a statis IP address you could use a firewall rule to only allow them specific access to some services.

Quite a ways. Especially in terms of languages other than C, e.g. I wouldn't use g++ 2.7.2.3 for C++ development, but YMMV. Note that 2.95.1 can be traced directly to the egcs development rather than what was previously the core gcc development (I believe gcc 2.95 is what would have been egcs 1.2). > Is 2.95.1 considered an unknown qauntity/ quality? The main issue is that the 3.x kernel will not compile correctly with egcs/gcc-2.95. It will compile, just not correctly :). The relevant kernel code has been fixed in the 4.0-CURRENT branch but I don't know of any plans to backport the changes to -STABLE. I've used egcs for C++ development for quite some time and am very pleased with it overall. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 26 6:22:53 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.tucows.com (mail.tucows.com [208.229.216.23]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4388014F7C for ; Thu, 26 Aug 1999 06:22:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from arthur@tucows.com) Received: from Arthur.Linuxberg (starwars.linuxberg.org [208.229.216.41]) by mail.tucows.com (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id JAA31790; Thu, 26 Aug 1999 09:22:40 -0400 Received: from localhost (arthur@localhost) by Arthur.Linuxberg (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA06812; Thu, 26 Aug 1999 09:22:40 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: Arthur.Linuxberg: arthur owned process doing -bs Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 09:22:40 -0400 (EDT) From: "Arthur H.

I'm beginning to realize this is a very common question. Try "cdcontrol -f wcd0 play" and see if that works. This assumes you have an IDE/ATAPI CDROM drive, which is probably a safe bet. wcd0 is thus your cd drive.

I was trying to use cdplay and xcdplay. In that case, the cdplay manpage says use -d to specify device. Thus, cdplay -d wcd0 I'm sure the same applies to other programs - check their manpages or other documentation.

Whilst I have no doubt that most writers mean well and do the best they can to present what are quite difficult concepts , there are many matters which I feel are not explained sufficiently in the docs I've used to date, and the omission of even the most trivial item can mean hours, days, and even weeks of extreme frustration for newbies. The MAN's & HOWTO's might be relevant to experienced users for reference, but they are almost totally useless as an elementary learning resource. BSD stuff generally is streets ahead of the linux equivalents, but thats nothing to write home about as linux MAN's & HOWTO's are among the most unintelligible manuals on the planet to most newbies. . > I'd kill for some simple "step by step" instructions on getting this stuff > sorted out .....

I wonder what shareholding some of the MAN producers have in companies that produce headache pills ?? .... but then its not the first time I've been called a bit cynical With MSWin and *nix interfaces like KDE, setting up PPP is 99% GUI, which I find infinitely more intuitive, however there are some brilliant CLI style PPP config utilities out there for linux (eg wvdial) and I guess its only a matter of time before someone ports them to BSD. The FreeBSD PPP script from ftp://flag.blackened.net/pub/freebsd/ppp_script.sh I just found looks really interesting so I'll try that in a few minutes. Also discovered a nice utility by name of "mtools". for working with DOS floppies. It looks a good way to get around that "mount' insanity, so instead of trying to remember "n" lines of weird commands I just need to download the script from the FTP site to floppy and mcopy it into the BSD box ...... instead of spending the whole weekend typing 9 pages of stuff that will most probably have to be re-done in a day or so (probably a few hours judging from past events) when I break the BSD box again. >I set timeout to 600 because I want ppp to drop the line after 10 mins >of inactivity and not my ISP.

How do you figure that .... its not at all clear to me whats enabled in all that verbiage ..... I guess its all relevant to "something", but unless you know your way around pp.conf its hard to know what to do with 95% of the lines. I think the BSD Handbook makes a fair attempt to guide users through pp.conf, but it could be improved significantly with a few sample ppp.conf that are typical of & relevant to the various setups, some screen dumps showing a more graphical view of what parts of PP.conf should look like, and especially more attention to placement of spaces, indents etc. or To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 26 10: 0:56 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from richardson.apana.org.au (richardson.apana.org.au [203.3.126.216]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id C3EFE15C8A for ; Thu, 26 Aug 1999 10:00:39 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from young@richardson.apana.org.au) Received: from jdy [203.3.126.129] by richardson.apana.org.au [203.3.126.216] with SMTP (MDaemon.v2.7.SP4.T) for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 02:51:26 +1000 Message-ID: <016501beefe3$c893d9e0$857e03cb@jdy> From: "Young" To: "Alejandro Ramirez" Cc: Subject: Re: PPP Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 02:55:18 +1000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.1 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Return-Path: young@richardson.apana.org.au Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Thanks Ales ......I'd appreciate a copy of your ppp.conf .....

Same install, same questions, same "routine", but a diffrent kernel ends up on the hard drive. Simply diffrent options compiled in it. Yes, I will build the new kernel, but once it's ready, what next. In /usr/src/release/sysinstall there is a install.cfg file that "suggests" alot, but not enought for me. Is the file a config file that can be used when sysinstall is invoked OR is it a config file that will be used IF I compile sysinstall? Maybe none of the above :) Am I going the right way? I'm not conviced that testing this is a good idea on my machine. Maybe a diffrent way of asking this _long_ question would be like this: how to replace the GENERIC kernel on the FreeBSD CD?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Is there an FAQ/site that will provide details in increasing the performance of sendmail? Like kernel parameters, maxusers? Mem? Sendmail options? We have a huge mass mailing to our customers and I'd like to be sure the machine can handle the load. Also is it possible to "simulate" the type of load the machine can handle? Something along the lines of directing all outout to /dev/null, but still have the machine do DNS lookups and then dump the messages? I want to do a few dry runs before attempting to send +10,000 e-mails.. :). Or should I be looking at other SMTP servers?? Thanks!!! Jonathan E.

What would people think of starting an 'Adopt a Newbie Program' where volunteers can hold the hand of a newbie as they trudge up the FreeBSD learning curve? Volunteers could be signed up with a list of their skills or areas of expertise, and matched with a newbie who will have similar requirements. Not all newbies will want the same thing, and not all Gurus have the same areas of expertise, so some sort of matching would probably be a good thing. Certain things would have to be in place so that the Gurus would only take on as many newbies as they wanted at any given time etc. Just a thought, I'm sure there are lots of issues involved in creating somthing like this. -- Damien Tougas Converging Technology Solutions, Inc.

BTW, you can tell qmail how many simultaneous delivery attempts to make; see qmail-control(5) and qmail-send(8) once you get things going. Of course, building your own kernel is always a good idea to at least get rid of devices, etc. you don't need... Lucas -- S.

Yes, looking at the manual, I would assume so.

Free memory being near zero is usually a good thing since it means that your memory is being used effectively. FreeBSD uses all otherwise free memory for file caching, and you can't determine the breakdown of caching vs. mmap pages, etc, by looking at the page queues. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.

PLEASE, follow these exact instructions, tell us exactly what happens and what goes wrong if it does not work. 1. Type "ppp" at the command prompt. 2. At the ppp machine> prompt type "term", dial, and login properly. 3. When you're done logging in type "~p" 4. At this point you should type "show ipcp". Take not of "his address". 5. At some point your prompt should change to say "PPP machine>" if it hangs up before getting to this point. Please tell us what the prompt said before it hung up. Is it "ppp, Ppp, PPp, or PPP"? 6. Take the value of his addres in the last step and type "add 0 0 value_of_his_address". 7. Type ALT-F2 and try pinging different addresses. I realize that you have information from the isp as to ip addresses and such, and people are going back and forth with do this do that. but I think we need to start from scratch and attack your problems systematically.

It probably supports an rc file (~/.cdplayrc or similar) where you can specify a default CD device. Most CD players I've tried have, if you have no device entry in the rc file or don't use ``-d'', a hard-coded default that seems to always use Linux device names. The KDE CD player had /dev/matcd0 as the hard-coded default - the proprietry Matsushita/Panasonic device - how many people still have those!

Does your hosts.allow not work at all, or just not for deny's? I fought with it for a couple hours and was able to finally get the following to work, so I suggested it to you. (this is from memory, it may be slightly different). /etc/hosts.allow: ALL : .domain.com /etc/hosts.deny: telnetd : ALL I haven't done a buildworld in probably a month or two, so maybe it was something that was addresses. I know my kernel is current, but I'm 99.9% positive that has no bearing on it. Btw, according to the man pages (man 5 hosts_access, and man 5 hosts_options) we should be able to put everything in /etc/hosts.allow.

Take /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample, and copy to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Edit the file, looking at the following in particular: 1. in the default section, change the device setting to match your current setting (it's /dev/cuaa1 in the file). 2. Assuming that your ISP doesn't have a login script, we move down to the "PAPorCHAPpmdemand" section, setting the "phone", "authname" and "authkey". Add your "set timeout 0" to this section. 3. Start up ppp with: # ppp PAPorCHAPpmdemand and then type in "dial". 4. Logs will be generated in /var/log/ppp.log. Have a look thru' those, and if you can't figure out what the problem is from them, ask the list again - attaching the logs.

It compiles and links very well, but when I run anything, I get these warnings (I don't have them verbatim, these are paraphrased): /lib/libc.so: warning: This program uses gets(), which is unsafe. /lib/libc.so: WARNING! des_crypt() is not available on this system! (.. more des_* warnings) /lib/libc.so: warning: This program uses f_prealloc(), which is stupid. Experimenting with the GGI demos, they run for about half of a second, and freeze up, without accepting any input at all, which leads me to believe the problem is in GII. I suppose that's why it's not in the ports collection yet ;). Is there a libdes I need to link against to make it shut up about these warnings, or should I start hacking the GII code?

In the begining of this year (4 days ago), I installed FreeBSD Release 3.2 along with Samba 2.0.3. (BTW, all of the WIn95 machines have installed the plaintext reg fix... ) However, I can no longer access Samba from a Win95 machine when "encrypted password" is set to" no"...

I was thinking that all that is really required is somthing to get people on to their feet, offering guidance in areas that even a novice is quite familiar with. After reading some of the posts lately, there seems to be a bit of confusion on some of the basics (i.e. I seem to remember a post with regards to someone not being able to figure out how to use thier cdrom etc.). This stuff is not rocket science, and thus does not require the attention of an expert, but is still quite foreign to someone who may be coming straight from a Microsoft environment. I think that as more and more people hear about free operating systems, there will be more people using FreeBSD who have absolutely no experience with UNIX whatsoever. I thought that a short term mentor program might be a good idea, but there are defenitely other ways to accomplish this, such as with beginner level documentation. If people were interested in a mentoring type of thing, there is no reason that anyone couldn't be a mentor, as long as you are within your comfort zone. -- Damien Tougas Converging Technology Solutions, Inc.

But I get those messages when I'm toying around with nessus (a "security scanner") and I hit ports with nothing listening on them. --Ludwig Pummer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 26 20:38:11 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mission.mvnc.edu (mission.mvnc.edu [149.143.2.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0B3B115168; Thu, 26 Aug 1999 20:37:58 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kdrobnac@mission.mvnc.edu) Received: from localhost (kdrobnac@localhost) by mission.mvnc.edu (8.9.0/8.9.0) with SMTP id XAA21155; Thu, 26 Aug 1999 23:35:43 -0400 (EDT) Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 23:35:43 -0400 (EDT) From: Kenny Drobnack To: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Intel Merced FreeBSD??? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Lately i have seen a lot of speculation as to what will happen when the Intel Merced comes out. Will people wait 12-18 months for a 64 bit Windows (that's the amount of time I keep hearing it will take them to get Win2000 running on it) or will they just buy it and pop Linux onto it right away? If the majority of the people opt for option #2, it may mean Linux will finally get a huge edge over M$! While Linux is a great OS, and I like seeing M$ have some problems, I would even more like to have the assurance of being able to run FreeBSD on 64 bit architecture. Is there any port planned to that system? Has anyone even mention it? Also, will the lib/compat end up having a linux32 and a linux64 directory so it can run both old Linux apps and new? ----- We are now the Knights who say... "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG! Zoom-Boing!

I don't think so, but they did do the work of mastering and burning the CD's; and while FreeBSD *is* freely distributable, it isn't *public domain*. I doubt anyone would argue that it would be perfectly acceptable for Mr. Honson to create his own CD from the binary distfiles (available via FTP), but straight copying of someone else's work goes beyond *fair use*. To reinforce Greg's other concern, re: why one would need backups of the CD to begin with: What's the point? I've only been using FreeBSD since last November, and I've already seen 5 versions come out (2.2.7 - 3.2). That's pretty fast, and would tend to make backups obsolete rather quickly and thus a waste of money. So, again, what's the point? Seems like the only use would be giving the disks away and saving someone else $40. Hmmm... --Dan ** The thing I like most about Windows 98 is... ** You can download FreeBSD with it!

It's the difference between content and formatting. To take the argument to the extreme case, you cannot copyright the english alphabet, but people can copyright works that make use of it. It's how the letters are arranged that make the work copyrightable. Same goes with the CD's. All of the content is available for free, but WC Archive puts it together in a handy format for you. That format is copyrightable, and you can't just copy it and use it for your own commercial pursuits.

After realizing that my teacher probably would approve using encrypted password, I wrote surrendered to encrypted password. :) I found this shell script, mksmbpass.sh, which makes a smbpasswd file base on /etc/passwd. I was also able to find this command, smbpasswd -s which allows me to write in a shell script to add all password to the /user/local/private/passwd file. (actually, it is a little program that I wrote to write repeated command to a shell script... I have yet to learn how to write real shell scripts :) Thanks for your help anyway!

Mine doesn't yet, but I wasn't too concerned so far; I think there was a separate note about plug-ins by someone else which I haven't implemented yet (looked fairly simple). At least now I don't just get the setup screen... I was just trying to simplify the instructions in the note+web page that found the bad library file since he did a few things the hard way and others had already found easier workarounds for them. Do a mailing list search (on the freebsd web site) in questions, emulators, and hackers for StarOffice; I think I remember seeing a plug-in solution in there in the last month or so.

You would be breaching copyright by making copies for distribution to other people. As I said above, I doubted your motives, because people don't normally make backups of CDs. I've taken a look at your web site, and I'm beginning to think that this doubt was unfounded. I don't know why you should have difficulties getting hold of CDs where you are, but if you need any, let me know. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

I'm teaching my eleven (11) year old son how to use Freebsd. I have a 400 MgH box and his is 330 MgH machine. I recently built a 300 MgH box to use as a gateway and a router. I have a 40 mg SuSE 6.1 hack that will do service as a firewall and router. My question is; where may I find documentation that is simple enough for an above average 11 year old to understand? An example: Tonight we were compiling some games (what else?) that he had downloaded and he inquired about the meaning of the arguments following the commands "gunzip" and "tar". He wanted to know what each stood for. I'm not about to reefer an eleven year old to a man page, I don't do that to anyone I like. We consulted one of the many three inch thick books on Unix I have purchased from time to time and I was able to give him the correct answer. Giving a newbie a good, informative answer is important if you want that person to be properly grounded in the discipline they are studying. Learning the basics well makes the rest of the study easy. If anyone has some recommendations as to where I may purchase documentation that will fit my requirements I will be most appreciative.

You shouldn't have to remake world..usually the culprits are any 2.2.x binaries that are still being used on the system and which write entries into wtmp/utmp..ssh has been the culprit before, just recompile any of the old binaries again..

First - let me point out that FreeBSD already runs on the Alpha, so there's some 64-bit experience. Second - SCO and HP will be rolling out their UNIX variants with the Merced release. Perhaps some people will buy a Merced for that reason. But - for "Intel to hit it big" - they need Merced to become the next consumer architecture. Since they are continuing with plans for the IA32 line (what x86 got renamed to with the advent of IA64, nee' merced) they are hedging their bets. I don't believe they are convinced themselves that Merced will be the answer to their dreams... Also, recall that Intel launched Merced development when the idea was "bigger/faster is better." Last year's sudden reversal of that idea (i.e. Celeron as the answer to the AMD challenge) meant that bigger was better is not (at this moment) the right answer. Intel's requisite shift to lower-priced offerings likely was a contributing cause to all of the Merced slips. So - what Intel is facing is a chicken-and-egg problem. They need to sell a lot of these things, but will need Windows to do that. Microsoft won't bother with a Windows port until there is a significant market need for it (I point to the abandoned PPC and Alpha Windows ports as examples.) Microsoft needs a "business quality" version of Windows, which it claims is Windows/2000. That version of Windows could benefit from a 64-bit port, if for marketing only; but I don't think it would result in the volume of sales Intel is looking for. And - let me add - Intel has been down this path before (the i860) - and didn't see the success it wanted (although the i860 is popping up in some interesting places now...) I suppose what this "rant" is all about is that I'm not convinced Merced is the "chip of the future" that we all need to be worried about. I'm taking a "wait-and-see" attitude. [Also, since Microsoft has been working closely with Intel regarding Merced for several years now, and has yet to do anything `serious' - I believe they are taking the same "wait-and-see" approach. Likely while telling Intel otherwise.] That doesn't mean I think we shouldn't have a FreeBSD port; I would considering buying a Merced box if there was one (although, I don't have an Alpha box, so maybe it would never get past "consider".) - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 5:40:30 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from studentmail.liu.se (student.liu.se [130.236.230.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9B52614DD4 for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 05:40:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from johpe159@student.liu.se) Received: from student.liu.se (b152.ryd.student.liu.se [130.236.233.152]) by studentmail.liu.se (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0B89340D60 for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 14:37:28 +0200 (MET DST) Message-ID: <37C68683.3DC734B2@student.liu.se> Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 14:37:23 +0200 From: Johan Pettersson X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.9 i686) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Subject: sniff,pass,e-mail clients Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi!

I've consulted the archives of this mailing list and nothing clearly spells out how to log to a remote machine (even a search on syslog.auth returns 0 results). Several books only briefly mention that syslog is "something that logs...we think". :) Here's what I would like to do and what I *think* needs to be done (although nothing below has worked for me): We have a machine called "barney" and a machine called "andy". andy is the head honcho on our domain, so we'd like all of andy's _and_ all of barney's logs to go on andy: -------- ---------- | andy | | barney | -------- ---------- | | v v ---------- ---------- | syslog | | syslog | ---------- ---------- | | |----------------- || vv ------------- ------------- | local log | | local log | ------------- ------------- First of all, I assume we're going to need some firewall modifications made to ipfw. What port does syslogd use to log it's messages to the remote machine? Also, TCP or UDP? or both? Now, I've read in a couple of places (but not everywhere) that we'll need a file called /etc/syslog.auth on andy. No where have I seen the syntax of this file. Am I correct to assume it's: [andy:/etc/syslog.auth] barney and that's it? Now, the systax for syslog.conf...is this all I need?: [barney:/etc/syslog.conf] *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err @andy Should there be any changes to andy's /etc/syslog.conf? How can I have andy tell which logs are HIS and which are BARNEY'S? (Example: if I want andy's messages to be written to /var/log/messages.andy and barney's written to /var/log/messages.barney) Then, I assume a kill -HUP syslogd is required on both machines to see the changes. Now, keep in mind, none of the above has worked for me. What am I doing wrong here? I appreciate your help, more than you know. I am temporarily off of this mailing list while in clean out my mailboxes, so if you could CC: me on the reply, I would be forever endebtted to you.

It was created almost completely by HP (by the same group responsible for PA-RISC), with Intel as merely the production facilities. For obvious marketing, competitive, and resource reasons both HP and Intel share the rights to merced. As a matter of fact, the standard version of merced includes the PA-RISC engine along with an x86 instruction decoder. The original (possibly still) plan was that the consumer merced versions would have the PA-RISC section lobotomized (remember 486DX vs. SX? nothing was missing on the chip, it was just disabled) and only the HP shipped ones would have PA-RISC turned on. This is is why the merced chips would be able to run either HP-UX or WindowsNT in HP's 9000 series stuff.

(Example: if I want > andy's messages to be written to /var/log/messages.andy and barney's > written to /var/log/messages.barney) syslog messages always by default include the machine name that the log message came from (just after the time+date field), so there's no explicit need to seperate into two log files. I don't know if syslogd will let you filter on machine name (again consult the syslog.conf man page) You could always redirect all messages into one file and then write a script to split it up...

Ah... If they are still doing their 64 bit line, well, that changes everything. I was under the impression that they would only be selling the 64 bit chips after those came out, and therefore anyone buying a new computer would have to get a 64 bit one. If 32 bit is still around, I'm sure people will go for the cheaper one, and of course developers are going to write for the one most people have, I think, unless they want to release 2 versions of everything.. Yeah right. Should be interesting to see what happens. > So - what Intel is facing is a chicken-and-egg problem. > They need to sell a lot of these things, but will need Windows > to do that.

A small performance increase and big brother hanging out on your CPU! I think if Intel doesn't make Merced really good, I'll be very unlikely to buy Intel again. In fact, when I upgraded my girlfriend's computer for her, I popped an AMD K6-2 in there.. > That doesn't mean I think we shouldn't have a FreeBSD port; > I would considering buying a Merced box if there was one > (although, I don't have an Alpha box, so maybe it would > never get past "consider".) Definitely should be a FreeBSD port to Merced! If lots of people do start buying them, and all that runs on them is Linux and NT, FreeBSD will kind of be left behind. Until the port comes out, that is... ----- We are now the Knights who say... "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG! Zoom-Boing!

(Sendmail 8.9.3, cucipop-1.31) anybody (in theory anyway) could easily sniff your username/password while you fetch your mail as long as: a) there's no encryption involved (eg. normal POP3) and b) the packets can reach the network card of the machine the person is running the sniffer on ie. must be on same network as client machine and client machine is taking out over that network.. POP doesn't support encryption AFAIK, so cucipop will be no use in this case..you might be able to use POP over ssh but don't ask me how the hell to do this :) Cillian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 6:26:16 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from vax1.baker.ie (VAX1.baker.IE [194.125.50.91]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id E4C21155DF for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 06:26:10 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from cillian@baker.ie) Received: from baker.ie ([194.125.50.55]) by vax1.baker.ie with ESMTP; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 14:31:40 +0100 Message-ID: <37C68EB0.40FC19C1@baker.ie> Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 14:12:16 +0100 From: Cillian Sharkey X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (Win95; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "Abraham J.

There is a big commitment difference between popping off a quick answer to a question for which you happen to know the answer, and leaving yourself open to being bugged continually by someone for a couple of weeks. In the best of all worlds, this should not make a difference, maybe, but this is not the best of all worlds. Speaking as someone who occasionally posts answers here, I would not want to participate in such a program. I'm sorry, but I just do not have the time. And there is another issue which I believe (speaking only for myself) is hiding just below the surface if people would admit it: a lot of the people with the answers do not think people put in enough work trying to help themselves before posting here for quick and easy answers. If you are a little bit past being a newbie, lurk for a few weeks, be objective, and I believe you will come to agree with me. So, speaking only for myself, I don't mind helping people if (1) I know the exact answer off the top of my head, or (2) I can see people have done their homework and still have a nontrivial problem, and I have some insight as to a productive line of research which will solve that problem. Being a mentor for a newbie who wants to take a short cut up the learning curve does not fit in either of those categories. To put it another way, I don't mind being an educator (which I am by profession), in fact I enjoy it, or I would not be subscribed to this list, but I do mind being a questions "punching bag".

You're overlooking the status symbol buyers who just have to have the latest/greatest and/or something better than the guy next door. I recall a conversation not long ago with a sysadmin in the business school here. I was asking what their typical laptop configuration was and was told that some members of their faculty were quite particular about finding out what their colleagues machines had and then making sure theirs was more/better/faster, etc. I highly doubt this kind of purchasing only happens here. :-) > Definitely should be a FreeBSD port to Merced!

I thought we had already established that neither Linux or NT runs on Merced, only HP-UX so far. I would certainly like to see a FBSD port as I imagine we will be seeing Merced-based systems here quite early on. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 7:22:17 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from HoHenBrink.NET (adsl-63-193-117-197.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net [63.193.117.197]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E902114F99 for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 07:22:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kasey@HoHenBrink.NET) Received: from hohenbrink.net (gw.hohenbrink.net [63.193.117.197]) by HoHenBrink.NET (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA03555; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 07:22:06 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <37C69F0E.C53EEC35@hohenbrink.net> Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 07:22:06 -0700 From: "Mr. Kasey A.

I've run natd in verbose mode and saw that it only gave me the "failed.." message when natd tried to write a deniable packet back into the stream. In my case, DNS was resolving a 10.0.0.0 address for a box I was trying to reach and the packets were denying as they should have. This is possibly a bug since natd and ipfw should write the packet info in the logging rather than just the "failed..." message. If you can't connect to an outside machine, then you need to really work on your ipfw rules for the natd interface. The packets that cause the error message are the in/out translated packets on the natted interface. To run natd in verbose mode, boot your machine, ps and kill natd, then relaunch it adding the -verbose switch. It should start writing the translations on the terminal and the deny messages should show also. (if you try capturing it to a file, remember that the deny messages are from syslogd not the natd process. verbose mode only shows the translations, not the errors. Just copy and paste from the terminal window.) Don't forget to re-read the man page for natd!! ;>) Kasey A.

It really looks like that natd reports this error when it cannot write the packet back for any reason - duh - sometimes I really overstate the obvious. I have seen two different scenerios for the error, 1. ipfw rules on the natd interface that deny the packet. 2. routed reports that the route is down and won't accept the packet. (as shown below in the attached post) this error is generally a slightly different message. Host down, network unreachable. Kasey beemern@ksu.edu wrote: > > "Mr. Kasey A.

Flames to /dev/null. i agree! also, i think that in one aspect, a newbie hurts himself by getting a quick/easy answer to a question. there are a lot of instances where, in searching for a solution to one problem, i've run across solutions or information pertaining to ANOTHER problem i was having. in short, "getting there is half the fun"... meaning, the path to the answer leads to many others. and a quick/easy answer to something also doesn't provide the "meaning" or the "why" something is the way it is. but, also, i don't mind helping someone if it looks as tho they've put in time/energy but are just stuck on something and can't get past it...

There's plenty of money to be made in selling to a significant market share that doesn't numerically constitute a majority.

I do not consider myself to be a newbie, and I have been following the list for some time. I think that as the OS becomes more popular, we will just continue to see more of this all the time. I cannot speak for either of you, but I know for myself, I kind of like searching around to find the answers, and figure out as much as possible on my own. I like to leave the mailing list as sort of a last resort for my questions. The problem is, not everyone shares this attitude. Some people just want it to work, and do not have the time or energy to always scour the net for a solution. As a result, they will post a question, it's quick and easy. Maybe my idea for an adopt a newbie program is lame. That's ok. But perhaps there needs to be somthing in place to make searching for the answers a little more intuitive for someone who is new to the game. -- Damien Tougas Converging Technology Solutions, Inc.

The i860 was intended as a general purpose CPU and had very good (for it's time) floating point. The i960 was designed as an embeded CPU. The ia32 line will outperform (by quite a bit) the ia64 line until, at least the introduction of Mckinley(sp?), which is the second ia64 chip. This will not be until 02 I think, coudl be 03. The ia32 line still has a number of years of life left in it in the desktop and server market. Only people who really need a 64bit address space, and those who want the latest cool thing will buy Merced based systems.

And bash does exactly the same thing in this case. It's way too early for me to be looking at this, especially since I switched to tea, but... I don't see the problem. Which usually means I'm overlooking something, so if someone could point it out to me slowly it will be appreciated. nisser:~$ FOO="Program Files" nisser:~$ echo $FOO Program Files nisser:~$ pushd $FOO bash: pushd: Program: No such file or directory nisser:~$ cd $FOO bash: cd: Program: No such file or directory The thing I fail to see is why y'all seemingly want parameter substitution to do something it doesn't. What the shell does is to substitute the contents of $FOO for occurance. Clearly, if I do the substition: nisser:~$ cd Program Files bash: cd: Program: No such file or directory it fails. So why shouldn't it fail when the shell does it?

The machine is currently running windows and I have all the info from running winipcfg for the various network #s I'll need upon installation. The NIC is now currently in PnP mode, although I've also tried installation with it off. With PnP set to on for the NIC, upon boot w/ the installation floppies I see that there are 2 PnP cards detected on the machine during boot - one is the sound card and one the NIC. Although it detects the during the PnP portion of the boot process, it does _not_ actually detect the NIC when loading the kernel. I purposefully did nothing in the boot config to the network section, so the driver should be loaded. No NIC, no install. :-( I then went and downloaded the EtherDisk software from 3Com and turned PnP off on the NIC, hoping that that would clear things up. I rebooted w/ the install floppies and sure enough the NIC isn't found in PnP (so PnP really is set to off on the NIC), but again the NIC is not detected when booting into sysinstall. :-( Does anyone have any idea how to get the NIC to be seen so I can install by ftp? I had a 3.2 set of CD-ROMs but they're still w/ my girlfriend across the country so that's out. The only set of CDs I have here is 2.1.7 which is a _tiny_ bit old. :-) Brett ***************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.runet.edu * Dept of Chem and Physics * Curie 39A (540) 831-6147 * ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 9: 8:26 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from bow.portal.net.au (galley.portal.net.au [202.12.71.7]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 87F1014D5D for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 09:08:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Jeff.Baker@ACADHOTLINE.net.au) Received: from pc5 ([210.8.138.105]) by bow.portal.net.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id BAA00804; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 01:35:54 +0930 (CST) Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 01:35:54 +0930 (CST) Message-Id: <199908271605.BAA00804@bow.portal.net.au> X-Sender: jbaker@portal.net.au X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: "M.

The pair I have were manufactured by "Newport Systems", then a subsidiary of Cisco. The cards are called "LAN2LAN cards" and seem to plug directly into either the T1 or the CSU/DSU. I have not used them myself; we received them in a "trade-in" system from one of our clients who *had* been using them in a pair of Novell boxes. I probably can't tell you much more than that, but if anyone wants the ones I've got, I can let them go cheap as they were part of a "trade-in".

I thought MS was wrong when they introduced the space into directory names.

No no no... get them started on man pages early, give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll never go hungry.

As far as I know most of the "why does unix do it this way?" answers are passed down to the next generation of hackers by word of mouth, it's an oral history. In so far as your tar question: c - compress x - extract z - zip f - file t - test v - view tar xzvf mytarball.tgz |\\_______________________ | \_______ \ | \ \ extract this zipped tarball and show me the files as you uncompress it. Then there are options and programs that make abosolutely no sense in that way, you just sort of get used to and enjoy it. An example, the program 'biff' that watches your mailbox and pops up a message on your terminal when you have new mail, it is named after the dog that its author owned. good luck, -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@rush.net|alfred@freebsd.org] Wintelcom systems administrator and programmer - http://www.wintelcom.net/ [bright@wintelcom.net] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 9:54:13 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from inet.chip-web.com (c1003518-a.plstn1.sfba.home.com [24.1.82.47]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id C3B5714CFA for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 09:54:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ludwigp@bigfoot.com) Received: (qmail 4883 invoked from network); 27 Aug 1999 16:54:32 -0000 Received: from furball.chip-web.com (HELO bigfoot.com) (172.16.1.29) by inet.chip-web.com with SMTP; 27 Aug 1999 16:54:32 -0000 Message-ID: <37C6C2B6.BC7D5089@bigfoot.com> Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 09:54:14 -0700 From: Ludwig Pummer X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Cillian Sharkey Cc: Johan Pettersson , "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Subject: Re: sniff,pass,e-mail clients References: <37C68683.3DC734B2@student.liu.se> <37C68545.A3F19D6@baker.ie> <37C68DFA.D03C1CD0@student.liu.se> <37C68E27.2A1D4FF8@baker.ie> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Cillian Sharkey wrote: > POP doesn't support encryption AFAIK, so cucipop > will be no use in this case..you might be > able to use POP over ssh but don't ask > me how the hell to do this :) Well, first of all, you need SSH installed on both ends. Once you've got that you run the ssh client on your end with the command line 'ssh -L 110:serverip:110 serverip'. Then you tell your mail client to connect to the POP server running on 'localhost'. This method also works for SMTP and IMAP. --Ludwig Pummer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 9:58:48 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from voyager.fisicc-ufm.edu (ip-46-094.guate.net [200.12.46.94]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B882814BFD for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 09:57:55 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from obonilla@voyager.fisicc-ufm.edu) Received: (from obonilla@localhost) by voyager.fisicc-ufm.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) id KAA01666 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 10:55:38 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from obonilla) Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 10:55:33 -0600 From: Oscar Bonilla To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: vpo0 timeouts Message-ID: <19990827105533.A1635@fisicc-ufm.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0pre1i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to set up the iomega parallel zip drive on my laptop.

(By beginner I mean someone with no experience in Unix. You could be a world's expert on MVS and still be a Unix beginner.) It is a philosophy of computing as much as a piece of software, and you have to wrap your brain around WHY it is the way it is before you will begin to get it. Remember, this software was originally designed by people that knew what they were doing, not by some consumer focus group in Seattle, Washington, USA, who were concerned about whether the paper clip should wink or blink. It is only to be expected that the concepts should be somewhat subtle. After you get the WHY, it comes much faster. And the end product is well worth the effort, or we would not all be here doing all this keyboard pounding. Trust me on this one. For that there is no substitute for getting some reading materials and using them. You understand this and are asking for pointers to them, and I understand that you are, so this is not directed at you, per se, but to you all in the sense described above. For some, these materials may be the Handbook, Tutorials, and FAQ at www.freebsd.org, for others, they may be Unix for Dummies books, for others, something in between like Greg L.'s book. But there is no substitute. No mailing list, no mentor, nothing. There is no try, there is only RTFM. And there is no universal answer as to the right materials to acquire; you have to find your level on your own, grasshopper. (Switching metaphors in an Ugly American's attempt at humor for those who do not get the reference.) Go to a book store or library and look around, if you find you need hard copy. IMO, it is totally unrealistic to believe that you can skip the acceleration phase of the learning curve for an Unix system. This is not your father's Windows. Choose Pain, not Bill. -- M. L.

Merced is and has been the source of incredible amounts of fud. Your assertion that Merced has just shown up on the radarscreen is a little short ... it's been promised my Intel for a long while now, more than 2 years, and it gets increasingly difficult to believe even the littlest bit of stuff that Intel promises, least of which are their dates. Absolutely no speculation on Merced is in the least bit worthwhile. If you need 64 bit stuff, both FreeBSD and Linux run on the Alpha, and work fine.

No, unfortunatly you sound like someone who's just discovered "tracert" and starts asking how to setup his own ISP. Take some clases or read some, books, learning by osmosis doesn't work, I've chucked many a book at a newbie hoping so, unfortunatly it just doesn't work... you have to want to learn.

I'll hang in there (I am making progress slowly). I just wanted to make some comments re ML's post that this unix setup is not easy for a new user, and asking questions is not easy when you have no idea what to ask!. Easy to follow docs are required and would be worth writing buy someone with experience. (Have a look at some of the tech docs done by PC software vendors, for examples of "how to's" ) Almost everything I've found so far (some exceptions) are full of 'jibberish' which is OK to a point, but just because it's there doesn't mean it can be understood. I want / need a server today, not in 2 years time. Particularily a step by step approach for setting up a www server or an intranet server would be great. I'm still not sure why I need to adopt a philosphy to use a technology....but then there's lots I don't understand in the world. Again, thanks for those that emailed with info / help. Can't help thinking about the old days when I did tech support, when a frustrated caller got up out of his chair and walked across the room, as I started to talk him thru running a:setup from his 5-1/4" floppy drive..... I laughed about it, guess I just didn't understand his basic level of understanding.

Semantics. Basically whether the substituted value should be interpreted as an atomic value or ought to be taken at face value. If it is an atomic value then 'cd $FOO' ought to work no matter the contents of $FOO, if not then it can not be expected to work if those contents after expansion conflict with the syntax. Since these things can nip you in the butt at the most awkward times - think major install scripts - it is not an as frivolous excercise as it may look.

The system crontab file (/etc/crontab) is different to "user" crontabs in that it takes an extra field before the command. This field contains the user which the command will run as. "atrun" (the at job scheduler) should only really be running from /etc/crontab. As root, run "crontab -e" and remove the line containing "atrun". -- mwest@uct.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 11:35:35 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from dt010nb9.san.rr.com (dt010nb9.san.rr.com [204.210.12.185]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 55CFA15FB8 for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 11:35:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Doug@gorean.org) Received: from localhost (doug@localhost) by dt010nb9.san.rr.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA72781; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 11:34:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Doug@gorean.org) Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 11:34:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug X-Sender: doug@dt010nb9.san.rr.com To: Vallo Kallaste Cc: Greg Lehey , Steven Honson , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Making copys of the FreeBSD CD's In-Reply-To: <19990827123433.A9647@myhakas.matti.ee> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Fri, 27 Aug 1999, Vallo Kallaste wrote: > On Fri, Aug 27, 1999 at 05:34:19PM +0930, Greg Lehey wrote: > > > > I was planing on making a backup because I use the cd's quite a bit > > > installing it onto servers at work, and I had quite a lot of trouble > > > getting a copy of it where i am in the world.

It may sound kind of esoteric, but these are the things you interact with in Unix that affect you just as much (or more) than the decision in Windows that you use the left mouse button for "basic" operations and the right mouse button gets you a menu for "extended" operations (at least on a right-handed mouse). Using Windows becomes much easier once you absorb that concept. Same way with Unix -- there are basic concepts that teach you what to expect. While you can muddle through without them, life is much easier once you internalize the way the thing is put together. You have to make some effort, here. I mean, using Unix without understanding the philosophy (and what we're really taking about here is the design of the system, not a something that's removed from day-to-day life as a Unix user) is like saying "I want to program in C, except that there are too many funny symbols and I really don't see why I should have to understand pointers". Or, "I want to get the best perfomance possible out of my car's engine, and I want to do it myself, but I don't want to have to know about all that octane and torque stuff". I understand that there's a huge amount of stuff to wrap your brain around. I hope you understand that this is exactly the reason the thing works so well (IMHO). It hasn't been dumbed-down. It seems to me that in tradeoffs between capability and comprehensibility to a novice (which is NOT the same thing as ease-of-use), capability will always win here. At least, I hope so. > BTW could any one slip a "how to setup an intranet server" page under my > door, so I can put it on the top of my reading pile.......that way I can do > some real work as well, and get to real reading when my reading age has > improved a little, reinforced by a positive learning experince. This would be better as a specific question. Are you asking about a web server? A mail server? An FTP server? A box for people to log in and do programming work?

Good materials >always make eductation more efficient. I'm going to go off on a tangent here a little bit : I wish I could stay on the FreeBSD mailing lists... I used to learn a lot here. BUT, there is simply too much traffic for me to cope and sift through it all. So I have to jump on now and again to see how FBSD is doing and/or if I have any problems. Now, has anyone here been on the Sun-managers or Alpha-managers mailing lists ? These are mailing lists for sysadmins of Sun boxes and Digital Unix Alpha boxes. Most of these guys/girls run mission critical apps and high-quality support is paramount. The charter on the lists runs like this : Person-in-trouble posts a question to the list. People who know the answer email him/her directly (NOT broadcast to the list). Person-in-trouble sorts out his/her problem then posts the solution back to the list with a subject line that starts "SUMMARY: " followed by his/her original question. Advantages of such a system : a) people have to show they learned something; it deters the simple questions asked out of laziness. b) sifting through the archives is much easier - you can see the solutions because they have the subject line "SUMMARY:..." in fact, as soon as i got on the lists, that's all i did for the first few days - big learning experience c) less noise of course. this in turn means that members are more likely to read problems etc. d) i don't know why, but people tend to read the FAQs and search the archives more than here. perhaps I'm mentioning this in the wrong context... I know that freebsd-questions sometimes has long threads where people are correcting each other.. and such a forum is valuable. however, there *is* a lot of deja vu in posts. Anyway, such a sytem would allow more people (who probably can not deal with so much traffic), to stay on the list where they can continue to contribute and learn - since these are usually the more experienced members who've gone past the learning stage. I've actually mentioned this before on this very list but it was given a huge thumbs-down. Maybe a separate list would work well - personally I believe it would add credence to FreeBSD support for mission critical apps. On alpha-managers and sun-managers, problems are characteristically resolved in a matter of minutes. (which happens here too but there it's known that systems/jobs and money are at stake). yeah, that was a bit off-topic perhaps. sorry. ctrl-d at will. chas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 12:45:12 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from pop3-3.enteract.com (pop3-3.enteract.com [207.229.143.32]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 9FA9C15529 for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 12:45:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dscheidt@enteract.com) Received: (qmail 63750 invoked from network); 27 Aug 1999 19:42:28 -0000 Received: from shell-1.enteract.com (dscheidt@207.229.143.40) by pop3-3.enteract.com with SMTP; 27 Aug 1999 19:42:28 -0000 Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 14:42:28 -0500 (CDT) From: David Scheidt To: Rusty Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Elementary documentation In-Reply-To: <37C65D04.2D8443C5@gci.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Fri, 27 Aug 1999, Rusty wrote: > My question is; where may I find documentation that is simple enough for > an above average 11 year old to understand? An example: Tonight we The man pages. For something like named(8) or senmail(8) they aren't very good, but for figuring out how to use something, or what its arguments are, they are wonderful. They are concise, well-written (mostly...) and tell you what you need to know. Figure out how to use man(1), and you can work out most problems.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is there any method to measure disk I/O, in particular to work out if it is limiting performance ? Context : 1 x 18 GB SCSI HD (10,000 RPM) Each day : 200,000 x CGI processes, each reading 2 or 3 flat files 100,000 x CGI processes, each reading/writing to mysql database 1,000,000+ x flat files (images, .html etc) plus 400 MB+ of apache log files are created each day. There seems to be ample RAM and CPU (and we're not even going into swap) but the website is really crawling. I realise that this could be due to the poor bandwidth in China (where the server is hosted) but would like to also monitor the disk i/o if it's possible since the CGIs open a lot of files and the apache log files are being written nonstop. Hopefully then I can plan/budget for more disks and/or a second server as traffic reaches a threshold. So : a) can this be measured ? (i.e how do you know when your disk i/o is the limiting factor ? ) b) would it make more sense to have 3 separate (physical) disks for : - apache log files - mysql database - operating system, applications, website files/cgi The reasoning behind having mysql database on a dedicated disk is that i remember working with Cold Fusion and SQL server on NT - it was better to have 2 small machines (cold fusion and website sat on one, sql server sat on another) than one huge beast of a machine with both application and server and database sat on it. So I guess that still hold true for hard disks on the same box, though I'm not sure 1 + 1 = 2 in terms of performance.

I am using 3.2 stable. I blocked users access to telnet and only allowed ftp access. I did this in chpass by changing their shell to /bin/ftponly and then placing them in the ftpchroot file. Of course this shell does not exist. All works well!! None of the selected users can telnet in and they are locked into their home directories when using FTP. Except now when I adduser, I get all the users warnings that /bin/ftponly does not exist. This is only a nuisance but it could get annoying as I may have as many as 150 ftp users. I tried using adduser -s and -q and it does stop all the messages. The only problem is when it defaults to a home directory, it uses // instead of / . The result is it does not place the user in the desired home directory. If I adduser -v, goes back to all the messages and also defaults to the correct / for home. I need the / for home as the users are scattered in different diretories. example: /var/www/virtual/dealers/uploads/regions/region32/district01 I may have to users in district01 and others in other districts. I tried messing with the adduser.conf file but could solve the problem. I've searched the boards but can not find any advice pertaining to this subject. Any help would be appreciated.

I searched for a description of 'allscreens_flags= ' and got nothing. Used, 'man -k . Is it a secret code? Anyway, I guess I will tinker with it in order to get some color text that is readable for logins. I ran into this when I generated a new kernel; warning pseudo-device log not valid, or something like that, I did not take notes just commented it out. Ever see that when 'make' on FreeBSD 3.2R-GENERIC.

Of course one of the most overlooked ways of isolating what you need is a simple: man -k what-you're-looking-for You may not find exactly what you want the first time, but intelligent keywords will usually find something that will lead you to what you're looking for. Always let the computer do your searching.

For example if you have 2 scsi drives you may see that FreeBSD is checking both of them at the same time when you are booting from their leds etc. David Greenman wrote: > >Is there any method to measure disk I/O, in particular to > >work out if it is limiting performance ? > > > >Context : > >1 x 18 GB SCSI HD (10,000 RPM) > > > >Each day : > >200,000 x CGI processes, each reading 2 or 3 flat files > >100,000 x CGI processes, each reading/writing to mysql database > >1,000,000+ x flat files (images, .html etc) > > > >plus 400 MB+ of apache log files are created each day. > > > >There seems to be ample RAM and CPU (and we're not even going > >into swap) but the website is really crawling.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am trying to achieve the following network topology. The man page for route leads me to believe that this is possible using the -interface option, but all attempts to make this work have failed. X.Y.Z represents the public network subnet. The only addresses on this subnet that are available here are X.Y.Z.50, X.Y.Z.51, and X.Y.Z.52 (.52 not used in this example).

All other clients on the Unregistered network are 10.0.0.x. How do I setup the routing in the firewall so that packets for X.Y.Z.51 go through vr0 and not ed1 like the netmask for ed1 would imply? What should the ifconfig and route entries in the rc.conf files look like for both the firewall and the name server? Also, some more information about what the -interface option to the route command really does would be nice. It does not seem to work as advertised in the man page and in all the research I have done through the mailing list archives, the answer is always "fix the netmask", but this does not help my understanding of the -interface option.

Typical is around 15ms +/- 5ms (remember that access time is average seek time + average rotational latency + transfer time), which results in a range of 50-100 TPS. This assumes totally random access, and there is usually some amount of locality, so a more typical range is 80-120 TPS for more or less 'random' access. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.

This is the deal: I got two NE2000 compatible (ETHER-16C) ethernet interfaces the other day from a pal of mine, along with an old, beat up skeleton of a 486DX. I was delirious! A *home* LAN! All by myself, to administer the hell out of! Well, today I finally gave up trying to convince my Intel P-166 machine running FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE that there actually *was* a NIC at "port 0x320 IRQ 9". What I did was boot BSD -- an' here come the fool-proof explanation -- and when the little piece of text comes up saying "press any other key for blahblahblah", I did just that and *got* "blahblahblah". So then I hacked in, by means of my keyboard, pitiful as it is, "boot -c", and this actually got UserConfig running (ch 12 of "The Complete FreeBSD", pages 194++). So far so good. Then I start visual mode of UserConfig. Here I take away the superfluous stuff, and leave the goodies. Sometimes I leave more than the goodies, to be sure every driver I could possibly need gets loaded later on...well, I change the defaults for "NE2000 et al." to I/O:0x320, IRQ:9 (or 10, depending on my mood for the time being...I know these to be unoccupied), I save the configuration with "q", then I save the *whole* configuration ("q" once again, that is to say). Then the kernel tries to boot. And just after the line that says: "sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles yaddayaddayadda>" the whole b****y thing hangs. Just like that. Nothing happens except for the HD lamp glowing for aeons and aeons. I left it like that an hour so I could get some sunlight, and when I came back nothing had happened. What in the am I doing wrong here? The stuff works running Window$ 95...with the same hardware settings. Unbelievable. Other than that, FBSD and I are communicating quite happily now. /Fredrik To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 15: 7:15 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from xylan.com (postal.xylan.com [208.8.0.248]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BF128152C6; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 15:07:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from wes@softweyr.com) Received: from mailhub.xylan.com by xylan.com (8.8.7/SMI-SVR4 (xylan-mgw 2.2 [OUT])) id PAA20196; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 15:05:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from utah.XYLAN.COM by mailhub.xylan.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4 (mailhub 2.1 [HUB])) id OAA07598; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 14:57:10 -0700 Received: from softweyr.com by utah.XYLAN.COM (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4 (xylan utah [SPOOL])) id QAA06142; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 16:05:01 -0600 Message-ID: <37C70B8D.5500F38B@softweyr.com> Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 16:05:01 -0600 From: Wes Peters Organization: Softweyr LLC X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Mitch Collinsworth Cc: Kenny Drobnack , Thomas David Rivers , freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Intel Merced FreeBSD???

Nope, it was reported last week a group at Intel has Linux booting on a Merced simulator. That doesn't mean it's ready to release, but it's a lot further along than most systems. If you think Microsoft doesn't have 64-bit NT in development for Merced, you're being awfully gullible. Compaq was insisting that Alpha remained the development platform for NT64 while dropping support for NT32 on the Alpha last week, while Microsoft was griping about the decision and talking about dropping Alpha as the NT64 development platform. They can't yet, of course, because they don't HAVE any Merced chips, but the writing is on the wall... -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Intel is not aiming Merced at the majority of the market initially, any more than they are aiming the current generation Xeon processors at the masses now. They do, however, plan to have it become the dominant 64-bit architecture for desktop and server computers. Let 'em have them. I'm personally interested in dominating the market for keeltop computers and bilge severs. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

It is, in fact, the x86 compatibility mode that has delayed Merced for SO many years. HP actually had the 64-bit sort-of-long-instruction word architecture working when Intel joined in. To say they're bitter about the decision now is to understate the case considerably; Merced will ship with approximately the same performance HP predicted for the original chip in 95 or 96. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

This solution does not meet my requirement that the name server behind the firewall needs to be addressable from outside the firewall. The reason is that the firewall itself is already a name server and if I divert dns packets, the firewall name server will be bypassed.

What happens if you turn off ALL the ethernet cards? And ALL the goodies you might possibly need later on? (You can always boot -c and reenable them.) This will narrow the field to whether the ethernet card is at fault. And why do you think the ethernet card should be at those addresses just because you know they are free? Do you have it in Plug-and-Pray mode? That can really be funky in some 486 BIOSen.

It means the IP address moved from one ethernet interface to another. The most likely cause is a DHCP server assinged the IP to a new machine. It is also possible that it is something like HP's MC/ServiceGuard reassigned an IP from a failed interface to a working one. It is also possible that someone is doing something they shouldn't. I would bet on DHCP these days, though.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.org, and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? =================================================== Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people who are new to FreeBSD and may be having trouble getting used to the environment. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, first check whether this isn't a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ). There's a list of these questions at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.html, and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at /usr/share/doc/FAQ/FAQ.html. Check there, and if you don't find an answer, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about installing FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're almost sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. You should also enter a problem report with the send-pr utility. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question is of particularly technical nature, such as implementation details or suggestions for improvements, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If you're new to FreeBSD, and the message is about your own relationship to FreeBSD, send the message to FreeBSD-newbies. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: How to submit a question ============================= When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that 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 even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. 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: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. ``FreeBSD problem'' or ``Help'' aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. 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. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. For further information on this subject, check out http://www.lemis.com/email.html. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. 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. 6. 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. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 7. If you don't get an answer immediately, or if you don't even see your own message appear on the list immediately, don't resend the message. Wait at least 24 hours. The FreeBSD mailer offloads messages to a number of subordinate mailers around the world, and sometimes it can take several hours for the mail to get through. And once it gets through, the one person who might know the answer will probably just have gone to bed in his part of the world. 8. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). 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 2.1.5 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. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: How to answer a question =========================== Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. You'll find this information on page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents). See the end of this document for instructions on how to find the errata for an older version. You can get the current document in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ps. See page 302 of the third edition to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-3.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at Page ii _______ The instructions on page ii (opposite the title page) tell you to look at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2 for the errata list. That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _________________ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration ____________________________________________ After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 ________ The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 ________ The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the following data: AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enbld): 0 ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enbld): 1 TB (Transfer Block): 0 RC (Read Continuous): 0 EER (Enable Early Recovery): 0 PER (Post Error): 0 DTE (Disable Transfer on Error): 0 DCR (Disable Correction): 0 Read Retry Count: 16 Correction Span: 41 Head Offset Count: 0 Data Strobe Offset Count: 0 Write Retry Count: 16 Recovery Time Limit: 0 The values for AWRE and ARRE should both be 1. If they aren't, as in this case, where AWRE is 0, change the data with the editor, save it, and exit. The camcontrol program will write the data back to the disk and enable the option. Page 3 The Complete FreeBSD Page 331 ________ The description of the config refers to the SCSI drive sd0. This is the old name; in FreeBSD version 3, SCSI drives are called da, so this reference should be da0. Thanks to Francisco Reyes for pointing out this problem. Page 362 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel: # cd ../../compile/FREEBIE # make depend # make The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created: apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files needed for the build. Thanks to Mark Ovens for drawing this to my attention, and to Francisco Reyes and Bill Fumerola for pointing out that it still wasn't fixed in the third edition. Page 409 ________ The information on setting the default routers specified the wrong end of the PPP links in some places. It should always be the ``far'' end of the link. Replace the second example on page 409, and the text following it, with this text: defaultrouter="139.130.136.129" # Set to default gateway (or NO). static_routes="" # Set to static route list (or leave empty). gateway_enable="YES" # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway. This is the normal way to set the default route on a point-to-point interface. In fact, for PPP you don't need to specify the default address: the PPP packages will set it for you when the link comes up. This makes it possible to Page 4 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition set default routes when you're forced to use dynamic IP addresses, where you don't know the address at this point. We'll see how PPP does this on page 446. In the first example on page 410, the sixth example on page 412 and the second example on page 413, replace the defaultrouter definition with: defaultrouter="139.130.237.65" # Set to default gateway (or NO). Thanks to Andreas Longwitz for pointing out this error. Getting errata for older editions of the book _____________________________________________ There have been a total of five different versions of ``The Complete FreeBSD''. The most accurate way to distinguish them is by the format date, which you'll find at the bottom of page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents) in all versions of the book. 1. The first was titled ``Installing and running FreeBSD'', and was formatted on 24 February 1996. No errata list exists for this book. 2. For the first edition (19 July 1996), get ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/er- rata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/errata-1. I am no longer updating this errata list. 3. The list for the second edition (16 December 1997) is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the second edition to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only Page 5 Getting errata for older editions of the book take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html. 4. The revised second edition was formatted on 11 February 1999. As the name suggests, it's not a complete new edition: in fact, only three chapters are different: o The chapter ``Setting up X11'' has been brought up to date. o Appendix D (``Contents of the Ports Collection'') has been replaced by two appendixes, ``Errata and Addenda'' (the errata list up to date at the time) and ``FreeBSD 3.0'', which describes the differences between FreeBSD 2.x and FreeBSD 3.x. There is no separate errata list for this book. Refer to the second edition errata list. 5. The current, third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. This is the correct list for this edition.

If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at General changes _______________ o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find process information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake for this information Location of the sample files ____________________________ On the 2.2.5 CD-ROM only, the location of the sample files does not match the specifications in the book (/book on the first CD-ROM). The 2.2.5 CD-ROM came out before the book, and it contains the files on the third (repository) CD-ROM as a single gzipped tar file /xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz. It contains the following files: drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/ drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/mutt/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 352 Oct 15 15:21 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.mail_aliases -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 9394 Oct 15 15:22 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.muttrc drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 18281 Oct 16 16:52 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.fvwm2rc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 1392 Oct 17 12:54 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-desktop -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 296 Oct 17 12:35 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.xinitrc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 622 Oct 17 13:51 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-rcfiles -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1133 Oct 17 13:00 1997 cfbsd/scripts/Uutry -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1028 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/README drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 18 19:32 1997 cfbsd/docs/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 199111 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.txt Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 189333 Oct 16 14:28 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.txt -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 188108 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 226439 Oct 16 14:27 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 788 Oct 16 15:01 1997 cfbsd/README -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 248 Oct 17 11:52 1997 cfbsd/errata To extract one of these files, say cfbsd/docs/packages.txt, and assuming you have the CD-ROM mounted as /cdrom, enter: # cd /usr/share/doc # tar xvzf /cdrom/xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz cfbsd/docs/packages.txt See page 209 for more information on using tar. These files are an early version of what is described in the book. I'll put up some updated versions on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/ in the near future. Thanks to Frank McCormick for drawing this to my attention. Chapter 8: Setting up X11 _________________________ For FreeBSD 2.2.7, this chapter has changed sufficiently to make it impractical to distribute errata. You can download the PostScript version from ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/xsetup.ps, or the ASCII version from ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/xsetup.txt. No HTML version is available. Page xxxiv __________ Before the discussion of the shell prompts in the middle of the page, add: In this book, I recommend the use of the Bourne shell or one of its descendents (sh, bash, pdksh, ksh or zsh). With the exception of sh, they are all in the Ports Collection. I personally use the bash shell. This is a personal preference, and a recommendation, but it's not the standard shell. The standard BSD shell is the C shell (csh), which has a fuller- featured descendent tcsh. In particular, the standard installation sets the root user up with a csh. See page 152 (in this errata) for details of how to change the shell. Page 3 General changes Page 11: Reading the handbook _____________________________ The CD-ROM now includes Netscape. Replace the last paragraph on the page and the example on the following page with: If you're running X, you can use a browser like netscape to read the handbook. If you don't have X running yet, use lynx. Both of these programs are included on the CD-ROM. To install them, enter: # pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/netscape-communicator-4.5.tgz or # pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/lynx-2.8.1.1.tgz The numbers after the name (4.5 and 2.8.1.1) may change after this book has been printed. Use ls to list the names if you can't find these particular versions. Note that lynx is not a complete substitute for netscape: since it is text- only, it is not capable of displaying the large majority of web pages correctly. It will suffice for reading most of the handbook, however. Thanks to Stuart Henderson and for drawing this to my attention. Page 12: Printing the handbook ______________________________ The instructions for formatting the handbook are obsolete. Replace the section starting Alternatively, you can print out the handbook with the following text: Alternatively, you can print out the handbook. You need to have the documentation sources (/usr/doc) installed on your system. You can find them on the second CD-ROM in the directory of the same name. To install them, first mount your CD-ROM (see page 175). Then enter: $ cd /cdrom/usr/doc/handbook $ mkdir -p /usr/doc/handbook you may need to be root for this operation $ cp -pr * /usr/doc/handbook You have a choice of formats for the output: o ascii will give you plain 7-bit ASCII output, suitable for reading on a character-mode terminal. Page 4 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition o html will give you HTML output, suitable for browsing with a web browser. o latex will give you LATEX format, suitable for further processing with TEX and LATEX. o ps will give you PostScript output, probably the best choice for printing. o roff will give you output in troff source. You can process this output with nroff or troff, but it's currently not very polished. LATEX output is a better choice if you want to process it further. Once you have decided your format, use make to create the document. For example, if you decide on PostScript format, you would enter: $ make FORMATS=ps This creates a file handbook.ps which you can then print to a PostScript printer or with the aid of ghostscript (see page 222). Thanks to Bob Beer for drawing this to my attention. Page 45: Preparing floppies for installation _____________________________________________ Replace the paragraph below the list of file names (in the middle of the page) with: The floppy set should contain the file bin.inf and the ones whose names start with bin. followed by two letters. These other files are all 240640 bytes long, except for the final one which is usually shorter. Use the MS-DOS COPY program to copy as many files as will fit onto each disk (5 or 6) until you've got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Copy each distribution into subdirectory corresponding to the base name--for example, copy the bin distribution to the files A:\BIN\BIN.INF, A:\BIN\BIN.AA and so on. Page 80 and 81 ______________ In a couple of examples, the FreeBSD partition is shown as type 164. It should be 165. Thanks to an unknown contributer for this correction (sorry, I lost your name). Page 5 General changes Page 88: setting up for dumping _______________________________ The example mentions a variable savecore in /etc/rc.conf. This variable is no longer used--it's enough to set the variable dumpdev. Page 92 _______ At the end of the section How to install a package add the text: Alternatively, you can install packages from the /stand/sysinstall Final Configuration Menu. We saw this menu on page in figure 4-14 on page 71. When you start sysinstall from the command line, you get to this menu by selecting Index, and then selecting Configure. Page 93 _______ Before the heading Install ports from the first CD-ROM add: Install ports when installing the system ________________________________________ The file ports/ports.tgz on the first CD-ROM is a tar archive containing all the ports. You can install it with the base system if you select the Custom distribution and include the ports collection. If you didn't install them at the time, use the following method to install them all (about 40 MB). Make sure your CD-ROM is mounted (in this example on /cdrom), and enter: Page 96 _______ Replace the example at the top of the page with: Instead, do: # cd /cd4/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # for i in *; do > ln -s /cd4/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i > done Page 6 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition If you're using csh or tcsh, enter: # cd /cd4/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # foreach i (*) ? ln -s /cd4/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i ? end Thanks to Christopher Raven and Francois Jacques for drawing this to my attention. Page 104 ________ The examples at the bottom of the page and the top of the next page specify the wrong directory (/usr). It should be /usr/X11R6. Replace the examples with: For a full install, choose /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz. If you are using sh, enter: # cd /usr/X11R6 # for i in /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz; do # tar xzf $i # done If you are using csh, enter: % cd /usr/X11R6 % foreach i (/cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz) % tar xzf $i % end For a minimal installation, first choose a server archive corresponding to your VGA board. If table 8-2 on page 103 doesn't give you enough information, check the server man pages, starting on page 1545, which list the VGA chip sets supported by each server. For example, if you have an ET4000 based board you will use the XF86_SVGA server. In this case you would enter: # cd /usr/X11R6 # tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331SVGA.tgz substitute your server name here # for i in bin fnts lib xicf; do # tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331$i.tgz # done Page 7 Install ports when installing the system If you are using csh, enter: % cd /usr/X11R6 % tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331SVGA.tgz substitute your server name here % foreach i (bin fnts lib xicf) % tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/$i % end Thanks to Manuel Enrique Garcia Cuesta for pointing out this one. Page 128 ________ Replace the complete text below the example with the following: These values are defaults, and many are either incorrect for FreeBSD (for example the device name /dev/com1) or do not apply at all (for example Xqueue). If you are configuring manually, select one Protocol and one Device entry from the following selection. If you must use a two-button mouse, uncomment the keyword Emulate3Buttons--in this mode, pressing both mouse buttons simultane- ously within Emulate3Timeout milliseconds causes the server to report a middle button press. Section "Pointer" Protocol "Microsoft" for Microsoft protocol mice Protocol "MouseMan" for Logitech mice Protocol "PS/2" for a PS/2 mouse Protocol "Busmouse" for a bus mouse Device "/dev/ttyd0" for a mouse on the first serial port Device "/dev/ttyd1" for a mouse on the second serial port Device "/dev/ttyd2" for a mouse on the third serial port Device "/dev/ttyd3" for a mouse on the fourth serial port Device "/dev/psm0" for a PS/2 mouse Device "/dev/mse0" for a bus mouse Emulate3Buttons only for a two-button mouse EndSection You'll notice that the protocol name does not always match the manufacturer's Page 8 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition name. In particular, the Logitech protocol only applies to older Logitech mice. The newer ones use either the MouseMan or Microsoft protocols. Nearly all modern serial mice run one of these two protocols, and most run both. If you are using a bus mouse or a PS/2 mouse, make sure that the device driver is included in the kernel. The GENERIC kernel contains drivers for both mice, but the PS/2 driver is disabled. Use UserConfig (see page 50) to enable it. Page 140 ________ Just before the paragraph The super user add the following paragraph: If you do manage to lose the root password, all may not be lost. Reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # mount /usr mount /usr file system (if separate) # passwd root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup If you have a separate /usr file system (the normal case), you need to mount it as well, since the passwd program is in the directory /usr/bin. Note that you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the system doesn't have the concept of user IDs. Page 148 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Modern shells supply command line editing which resembles the editors vi or Emacs. In bash, sh, ksh, and zsh you can make the choice by entering Page 152 ________ After figure 10-8, add the following text: It would be tedious for every user to put settings in their private initialization files, so the shells also read a system-wide default file. For the Bourne shell family, it is /etc/profile, while the C shell family has three Page 9 Install ports when installing the system files: /etc/csh.login to be executed on login, /etc/csh.cshrc to be executed when a new shell is started after you log in, and /etc/csh.logout to be executed when you stop a shell. The start files are executed before the corresponding individual files. In addition, login classes (page 141) offer another method of setting environment variables at a global level. Changing your shell ___________________ The FreeBSD installation gives root a C shell, csh. This is the traditional Berkeley shell, but it has a number of disadvantages: command line editing is very primitive, and the script language is significantly different from that of the Bourne shell, which is the de facto standard for shell scripts: if you stay with the C shell, you may still need to understand the Bourne shell. The latest version of the Bourne shell sh also includes some command line editing. See page 148 for details of how to enable it. You can get better command line editing with tcsh, in the Ports Collection. You can get both better command line editing and Bourne shell syntax with bash, also in the Ports Collection. If you have root access, you can use vipw to change your shell, but there's a more general way: use chsh (Change Shell). Simply run the program. It starts your favourite editor (as defined by the EDITOR environment variable). Here's an example before: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /bin/csh Full Name: Jack Velte Location: Office Phone: Home Phone: You can change anything after the colons. For example, you might change this to: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash Full Name: Jack Velte Location: On the road Office Phone: +1-408-555-1999 Home Phone: Page 10 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition chsh checks and updates the password files when you save the modifications and exit the editor. The next time you log in, you get the new shell. chsh tries to ensure you don't make any mistakes--for example, it won't let you enter the name of a shell which isn't mentioned in the file /etc/shells--but it's a very good idea to check the shell before logging out. You can try this with su, which you normally use to become super user: bumble# su velte Password: su-2.00$ note the new prompt There are a couple of problems in using tcsh or bash as a root shell: o The shell for root must be on the root file system, otherwise it will not work in single user mode. Unfortunately, most ports of shells put the shell in the directory /usr/local/bin, which is almost never on the root file system. o Most shells are dynamically linked: they rely on library routines in files such as /usr/lib/libc.a. These files are not available in single user mode, so the shells won't work. You can solve this problem by creating statically linked versions of the shell, but this requires programming experience beyond the scope of this book. If you can get hold of a statically linked version, perform the following steps to install it: o Copy the shell to /bin, for example: # cp /usr/local/bin/bash /bin o Add the name of the shell to /etc/shells, in this example the line in bold print: # List of acceptable shells for chpass(1). # Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using # one of these shells. /bin/sh /bin/csh /bin/bash You can then change the shell for root as described above. Page 11 Install ports when installing the system Thanks to Lars Koller for drawing this to my attention. Page 160 ________ Replace the text at the fourth bullet with the augmented text: The second-level boot locates the kernel, by default the file /kernel on the root file system, and loads it into memory. It prints the Boot: prompt at this point so that you can influence this choice--see the man page on page 579 for more details of what you can enter at this prompt. Page 169 ________ Replace the last paragraph on the page with: The standard solution for these problems is to relocate the /tmp file system to a different directory, say /usr/tmp, and create a symbolic link from /usr/tmp to /tmp--see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 72, for more details. Thanks to Charlie Sorsby for drawing this to my attention. Page 176 ________ Add the following paragraph Unmounting file systems When you mount a file system, the system assumes it is going to stay there, and in the interests of efficiency it delays writing data back to the file system. This is the same effect we discussed on page 158. As a result, if you want to stop using a file system, you need to tell the system about it. You do this with the umount command. Note the spelling--there's no n in the command name. You need to do this even with read-only media such as CD-ROMs: the system assumes it can access the data from a mounted file system, and it gets quite unhappy if it can't. Where possible, it locks removable media so that you can't remove them from the device until you unmount them. Using umount is straightforward: just tell it what to unmount, either the device name or the directory name. For example, to unmount the CD-ROM we Page 12 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition mounted in the example above, you could enter one of these commands: # umount /dev/cd1a # umount /cd1 Before unmounting a file system, umount checks that nobody is using it. If somebody is using it, it will refuse to unmount it with a message like umount: /cd1: Device busy. This message often occurs because you have changed your directory to a directory on the file system you want to remove. For example (which also shows the usefulness of having directory names in the prompt): === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 16 -> umount /cd1 umount: /cd1: Device busy === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 17 -> cd === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 18 -> umount /cd1 === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 19 -> Thanks to Ken Deboy for pointing out this omission. Page 180 ________ The example in the middle of the page should read: For example, to generate a second set of 32 pseudo-terminals, enter: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV pty1 You can generate up to 256 pseudo-terminals. They are named ttyp0 through ttypv, ttyq0 through ttyqv, ttyr0 through ttyrv, ttys0 through ttysv, ttyP0 through ttyPv, ttyQ0 through ttyQv, ttyR0 through ttyRv and ttyS0 through ttySv. To create each set of 32 terminals, use the number of the set: the first set is pty0, and the eighth set is pty7. Note that some processes, such as xterm, only look at ttyp0 through ttysv. Thanks to Karl Wagner for pointing out this error. Page 197, first line ____________________ The text of the first full sentence reads: Page 13 Install ports when installing the system The first name, up the the symbol, is the label. In fact, it should read: The first name, up to the | symbol, is the label. Page 208, middle of page ________________________ The example shows the file name /dev/rst0 when using the Bourne shell, and /dev/nrst0 when using C shell and friends. This is inconsistent; use /dev/nrst0 with any shell if you want a non-rewinding tape, or /dev/rst0 if you want a rewinding tape. Thanks to Norman C Rice for pointing out this one. Page 219 ________ Before the section Testing the spooler add the following section: As we saw above, the line printer daemon lpd is responsible for printing spooled jobs. By default it isn't started at boot time. If you're root, you can start it by name: # lpd Normally, however, you will want it to be started automatically when the system starts up. You do this by setting the variable lpd_enable in /etc/rc.conf: lpd_enable="YES" # Run the line printer daemon See page for more details of /etc/rc.conf. Another line in /etc/rc.conf refers to the line printer daemon: lpd_flags="" # Flags to lpd (if enabled). You don't normally need to change this line. See the man page for lpd for details of the flags. Thanks to Tommy G. James for bringing this to my attention. Page 14 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Page 231 ________ Replace the first line of the example with: xhost presto bumble gw The original version allowed anybody on the Internet to access your system. Thanks to Jerry Dunham for drawing this one to my attention. Page 237 ________ In the section Installing the sample desktop, replace the first paragraph with: You'll find all the files described in this chapter on the first CD-ROM (Installation CD-ROM) in the directory /book. Remember that you must mount the CD-ROM before you can access the files--see page 175 for further details. The individual scripts are in the directory /book/scripts, but you'll probably find it easier to install them with the script install-desktop: Thanks to Chris Kaiser for drawing this to my attention. Page 242 ________ The instructions for extracting the source files from CD-ROM in the middle of page 242 are incorrect. You'll find the kernel sources on the first CD-ROM in the directory /src. Replace the example with: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/src/ssys.[a-d]* | tar xzvf - Thanks to Raymond Noel , Suttipan Limanond and Satwant for finding this one in several small slices. Page 15 Install ports when installing the system Page 257 ________ Replace the paragraph Berkeley Packet Filter with: pseudo-device bpfilter ______________________ The Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf) allows you to capture packets crossing a network interface to disk or to examine them with the tcpdump program. Note that this capability represents a significant compromise of network security. The number after bpfilter is the number of concurrent processes that can use the facility. Not all network interfaces support bpf. In order to use the Berkeley Packet Filter, you must also create the device nodes /dev/bpf0 to /dev/bpf3 (if you're using the default number 4). Current- ly, MAKEDEV doesn't help much--you need to create each device separately: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV bpf0 # ./MAKEDEV bpf1 # ./MAKEDEV bpf2 # ./MAKEDEV bpf3 Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my attention. Page 264 ________ In the list of disk driver flags, add: o Bit 12 (0x1000) enables LBA (logical block addressing mode). If this bit is not set, the driver accesses the disk in CHS (cylinder/head/sector) mode. o In CHS mode, if bits 11 to 8 are not equal to 0, they specify the number of heads to assume (between 1 and 15). The driver recalculates the number of cylinders to make up the total size of the disk. Page 16 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Page 273, ``Building the kernel'' _________________________________ Replace the example with: Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel: # cd ../../compile/FREEBIE # make depend # make The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created: apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files needed for the build. Thanks to Mark Ovens for drawing this to my attention. Page 283, ``Creating the source tree'' ______________________________________ Add a third point to what you need to know: 3. Possibly, the date of the last update that you want to be included in the checkout. If you specify this date, cvs ignores any more recent updates. This option is often useful when somebody discovers a recently introduced bug in -CURRENT: you check out the modules as they were before the bug was introduced. You specify the date with the -D option, for example -D "10 December 1997". Page 285, after the second example. ___________________________________ Add the text: If you need to check out an older version, for example if there are problems with the most recent version of -CURRENT, you could enter: # cvs co -D "10 December 1997" src/sys This command checks out the kernel sources as of 10 December 1997. Page 17 Install ports when installing the system Page 294 ________ Add the following section: Problems executing Linux binaries _________________________________ One of the problems with the ELF format used by more recent Linux binaries is that they usually contain no information to identify them as Linux binaries. They might equally well be BSD/OS or UnixWare binaries. That's not really a problem at this point, since the only ELF format that FreeBSD 3.2 understands is Linux, but FreeBSD-CURRENT recognizes a native FreeBSD ELF format as well, and of course that's the default. If you want to run a Linux ELF binary on such a system, you must brand the executable using the program brandelf. For example, to brand the StarOffice program swriter3, you would enter: # brandelf -t linux /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/linux-x86/bin/swriter3 Thanks to Dan Busarow for bringing this to my attention. Page 364, middle of page ________________________ Change the text from: The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though they may be in lower case. to The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though newer versions of ppp allow you to write them in lower case. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for this correction. Page 368 ________ Replace the paragraph after the second example with: In FreeBSD version 3.0 and later, specify the options PPP_BSDCOMP and Page 18 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition PPP_DEFLATE to enable two kinds of compression. You'll also need to specify the corresponding option in Kernel PPP's configuration file. These options are not available in FreeBSD version 2. Thanks to Brian Somers for this information. Page 397 ________ In the section ``Nicknames'', the example should read: www IN CNAME freebie ftp IN CNAME presto In other words, there should be a space between CNAME and the system name. Page 422 ________ Replace the text above the example with: tcpdump is a program which monitors a network interface and displays selected information which passes through it. It uses the Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf), an optional component of the kernel. It is not included in the GENERIC kernel: see page 257 for information on how to configure it. If you don't configure the Berkeley Packet Filter, you will get a message like tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: device not configured If you forget to create the devices for bpf, you will get a message like: tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: No such file or directory Since tcpdump poses a potential security problem, you must be root in order to run it. The simplest way to run it is without any parameters. This will cause tcpdump to monitor and display all traffic on the first active network interface, normally Ethernet: Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my attention. Page 19 Install ports when installing the system Page 423 ________ The description at the top of the page incorrectly uses the term IP address instead of Ethernet address. In addition, a page number reference is incorrect. Replace the paragraph with: o Line 1 shows an ARP request: system presto is looking for the Ethernet address of wait. It would appear that wait is currently not responding, since there is no reply. o Line 2 is not an IP message at all. tcpdump shows the Ethernet addresses and the beginning of the packet. We don't consider this kind of request in this book. o Line 3 is a broadcast ntp message. We looked at ntp on page 160. o Line 4 is another attempt by presto to find the IP address of wait. o Line 5 is a broadcast message from bumble on the rwho port, giving information about its current load averages and how long it has been up. See the man page for rwho on page 1167 for more information. o Line 6 is from a TCP connection between port 6000 on freebie and port 1089 on presto. It is sending 384 bytes (with the sequence numbers 536925467 to 536925851; see page 305), and is acknowledging that the last byte it received from presto had the sequence number 325114346. The window size is 17280. o Line 7 is another ARP request. presto is looking for the Ethernet address of freebie. How can that happen? We've just seen that they have a TCP connection. In fact, ARP information expires after 20 minutes. It's quite possible that all connections between presto and freebie have been dormant for this period, so presto needs to find freebie's IP address again. o Line 8 is the ARP reply from freebie to presto giving its Ethernet address. o Line 9 shows a reply from presto on the connection to freebie that we saw on line 6. It acknowledges the data up to sequence number 536925851, but doesn't send any itself. o Line 10 shows another 448 bytes of data from freebie to presto, and acknowledging the same sequence number from presto as in line 6. Thanks to Sergei S. Laskavy for drawing this to my Page 20 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition attention. Page 450: anonymous ftp _______________________ Replace the paragraph starting with Create a user ftp: Create a user ftp, with the anonymous ftp directory as the home directory and the shell /dev/null. Using /dev/null as the shell makes it impossible to log in as user ftp, but does not interfere with the use of anonymous ftp. ftp can be a member of group bin, or you can create a new group ftp by adding the group to /etc/group. See page 138 for more details of adding users, and the man page on page 805 for adding groups. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for drawing this to my attention. Page 466, before the ps example _______________________________ Add another bullet: o Finally, you may find it convenient to let some other system handle all your mail delivery for you: you just send anything you can't deliver locally to this other host, which sendmail calls a smart host. This is particularly convenient if you send your mail with UUCP. To tell sendmail to use a smart host (in our case, mail.example.net), find the following line in sendmail.cf: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS Change it to: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmail.example.net Page 478, ``Running Apache'' ____________________________ The text describes the location of the server as /usr/local/www/server/httpd. This appears to depend on where you get the port from. Some people report the file being at the more likely location /usr/local/sbin/httpd (though note the Page 21 Install ports when installing the system directory sbin, not bin). Check both locations if you run into trouble. Thanks to Sue Blake for this information. Page 492 ________ Replace references to nmdb with nmbd. Page 493 ________ Replace the last paragraph on the page with: socket options is hardly mentioned in the documentation, but it's very important: many Microsoft implementations of TCP/IP are inefficient and establish a new TCP more often than necessary. Select the socket options TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up the response time of such applications by over 95%.

A funny thing is that Microsoft is porting essentially a 32-bit version of Windows to Merced. All the programs for Windows that want to use 64-bit support will have to be modified because the MS compiler defines both int and long as 32-bit. On the other hand the Unix compilers (at least UnixWare and as far as I understood that's the common Unix convention) provide a mode with 64-bit longs that gives certain degree of 64-bit awareness just by recompiling. > And - let me add - Intel has been down this path before > (the i860) - and didn't see the success it wanted (although > the i860 is popping up in some interesting places now...)

Actually, as far as I know, for Monterey-64 the availability of the Merceds seems to be the limiting factor now. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 17:55:12 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mailgw00.execpc.com (mailgw00.execpc.com [169.207.1.78]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 300B614D47 for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 17:55:09 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bellefso@execpc.com) Received: from BRIAN (pern-1-176.mdm.mkt.execpc.com [169.207.90.178]) by mailgw00.execpc.com (8.9.1) id TAA28623 for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 19:52:33 -0500 From: "Brian's Mail" To: "FreeBSD Questions" Subject: Fatal Double Fault (Resend with Subject) Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 19:54:44 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2918.2701 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am getting a this error message sometimes - Fatal Double Fault: eip = 0xf01cac36 esp = 0xfbc02fb8 ebp = 0xefbfdcb0 panic: Double Fault syncing discs...

VLIW means explicit parallelism of instructions, scheduled by the compiler. It also means that the code is tied very closely to the internal CPU architecture and would be incompatible between different CPUs of the same family. I can't remember now how the Merced architecture is named but it's a rudimentary data-flow machine with explicit synchronization points. Intel has an introduction to the Merced architecture on their Web-site. Also there was a talk at the SCO Forum about the Merced assembly language, I guess it should also be available online. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 27 18: 3:12 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.rdc1.sfba.home.com (ha1.rdc1.sfba.home.com [24.0.0.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7EB0014D47 for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 18:03:09 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mwakers@home.com) Received: from belgarath ([24.5.221.231]) by mail.rdc1.sfba.home.com (InterMail v4.01.01.00 201-229-111) with SMTP id <19990828010304.XHJQ29524.mail.rdc1.sfba.home.com@belgarath> for ; Fri, 27 Aug 1999 18:03:04 -0700 Message-ID: <001a01bef0f1$6830b640$e7dd0518@mwakers.net> From: "Michael W.

The original post implied that existing (32-bit) compilers had 64-bit longs (or a mode for 64-bit longs). man cc shows that this (and 64-bit ints) is only for MIPS systems and adds "These options don't work at present." > - Jordan > -- STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford.

We went from a Cray to using an Alpha and there were several things that Dec FORTRAN did. The most prominent besides the 64-bit floating point operations was that you could mask (and, or, xor, and etc.) 64-bit integer values. This was something that was missing in 64-bit longs on HP.

I agree in principle, but not in practice .... the experts regard so much stuff that causes newbies untold grief as too trivial to even mention. I'm not suggesting it any way that its intentional, but there are countless things that an experienced unix user takes for granted assuming EVERONE knows basic stuff as well as they (the experts) do. A common issue here is the MAN's & HOWTO's .... which may well be a valuable reference tool if one knows a bit, but to a newbie looking for a simple command its totally frustrating having to wade through a list of 345, 347,237 switches (of which maybe 2 apply in 99% of instances) and maybe 443 lines to find the ONE you need.

Merced simulators do exist (perhaps not publicly, though), and so you don't need Merced chips to do Merced development. As you point out, Linux is already running on a Merced simulator. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

I have been trying to install FreeBSD 3.2 on an IMB Aptiva. The bios tells me it's a model number 2140L61. It's a 266 MHz Pentium II box. When trying to boot from CD-ROM it tells me Can't work out which drive we're booting from. and gives the boot loader prompt. I can't find a spell which will get it to boot. When booting from floppy I go through the process of diabling all the devices I don't have. It seems to go smoothly until it emits a couple messages about the npx0 device and then hangs (I've waited at least 2 minutes) with the floppy light on. Ejecting the floppy does not elicit any sort of message. The system does respont to num-lock and caps-lock so it isn't completely wedged. It runs RedHat 6.0 mostly ok.

Go to www.freebsd.org and find the hardware section. look up all of the major building blocks used to build the computer. i.e. Manufacturer of the HD, CD-ROM, I/O cards ... etc. The reason I point this out is that IBM for some reason is following the herd when it comes to manufacturing non-standard hardware in order to keep customers coming back for upgrades. I find that if you go out of your way to make sure that your computer is 100% PC CLONE then just about ANY os will install/load properly. Also the Aptiva is just about one of the most unreliable computers in the market today. Of 100 Aptiva's that I have personally interacted with 100% of them have died or had major hardware failures within 3 months of purchase, 100% of them had repeats of same hardware problems within 3-6 months after repair. I may get flamed for this but I have already had my fingers burned by IBM, HP, DELL, and Gateway over the hardware incompatibility issues. If the mother board is not 100% Intel compatible, you are asking for problems. I wish you luck! Mike Akers M.

Since 2000 is NT based, you'd think that support was dropped for it too, but then I heard a couple rumors about Win2000 64 bit for Alpha... I don't know.

I guess that when you use a search it doesn't always find *all* the messages in a thread. I've noticed that the search engine isn't always accurate (I've searched for a thread name that I *know* exists, and it's returned no matches). If you find a message that you wish to see all replies for then just note the date and which list it's from then browse (http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/) that week, sorting by subject.

That's why I mentioned that it's probably better for a 'managers' community who rely on FreeBSD for their business and have probably got a great amount of experience between them. (I did say it was a bit of a tangent from the original thread). In the past, I've had conflicting recommendations to solve a problem - I simply had to test them out and post the results, saying what worked, to the list. Should it ever happen that a SUMMARY contains false information, it can still be updated/corrected. That happens less than 10% of the time. >2) mail archives would only have the solution(s) if the person bothered to >post a SUMMARY. I doubt you could actually _force_ someone to post it if >he/she didn't want to, so... No, you can't force them. The point is that the amount of traffic/noise is reduced; as the nature of the communications then become more valuable, people do indeed post summaries... also, you get this big guilty feeling if you don't. Beyond that, there was one guy who kept asking dumbo questions for stuff that was often in the FAQ, never sent a SUMMARY and didn't get much help thereafter. I, for one, sometimes feel guilty that I am unable to answer as many questions as I ask. But by posting summaries, you're sort of 'giving back' and helping others further down the line. Ok, I'll drop it for another 2 years :) chas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 28 4:39:44 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from goblin.apana.org.au (goblin.apana.org.au [203.3.126.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0650414CA4 for ; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 04:39:18 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by goblin.apana.org.au (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA06641 for ; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 21:56:56 +1000 (EST) (envelope-from dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au) Received: from bryden.apana.org.au(203.3.126.129), claiming to be "lynette-marmin" via SMTP by goblin.apana.org.au, id smtpdFq6639; Sat Aug 28 21:56:48 1999 Message-ID: <012301bbf73b$9500a840$817e03cb@lynette-marmin> From: "Doug Young" To: Subject: Mgetty Date: Wed, 1 Jan 1997 02:56:33 +1000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0120_01BBF78F.655565A0" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.1 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0120_01BBF78F.655565A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm looking for info on configuring mgetty .....main problem at present = is that its logging is apparently set wrong and it fills the hard drive = with log messages.

If you are too lazy to do us that simple courtesy in order to make our reading your posts easier, I don't know why I or anyone else should want to help you out. Nevertheless... Why are you switching to kernel ppp? Two of the most prominent features entering the choice to use user ppp are the -alias switch (NAT is built in) and autodialing (built in). You are not autodialing, for reasons that you felt were either unimportant or that we should discern by Vulcan mind meld, so one reason to choose user ppp is gone. Unless kernel ppp has changed (I haven't thought about it for three years or so), you will have to kludge up some sort of autodial solution, if that eventually turns out to be important. It used to be, at least, that people used kernel ppp when they wanted to set up a dialup ppp box, not for a gateway, unless the link was permanent. I assume that still holds? If the link is permanent, setup a server on one end, a client on the other. How you do the initial connection is relatively unimportant as you do it infrequently. Script it if possible. You will have to set up NAT external to kernel ppp. See one of the postings or FAQs having to do with cable modems for insight. If I'm hopelessly behind the times and giving out inaccurate information, someone please correct me. I suspect not, however, because I understand Brian is trying to move the guts of user ppp into the kernel to get the nice features of user ppp in a lighter weight implementation. As for the documentation (re. another posting in this thread), I find Brian's documentation to be almost embarrassingly straightforward to read and understand. Although I might be considered one of those omniscient wizards for which the documentation was putatively written. Funny I never thought of myself in that category, just a simple computer hobbiest who doesn't even do this stuff professionally. -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 28 8:16:30 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from scrabble.freeuk.net (scrabble.freeuk.net [212.126.144.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D1CEE14BFE for ; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 08:16:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from andrew@ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org) Received: from [212.126.148.206] (helo=cream.org) by scrabble.freeuk.net with esmtp (Exim 2.11 #1) id 11KkC5-0004ov-00; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 15:15:02 +0000 Content-Length: 958 Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.3 [p0] on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <37C4846B.883BDAF3@worldnet.att.net> Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 16:10:43 +0100 (BST) From: Andrew Boothman To: Jackie Gibson Subject: RE: web server Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 26-Aug-99 Jackie Gibson wrote: > I really do not know much about freebsd (or any other unix os) and would > only like to set up a web server.

You should install the Apache port by typing 'make' then 'make install' in /usr/ports/www/apache You should make sure that your ports CD-ROM is in your drive and mounted before you try and build the port. Once the port is installed, your web pages should be placed in /usr/local/www/data/ I use Apache myself, and if you have any other problems. You could contact me directly or use the list. --- Andrew Boothman FreeBSD UK User Group http://ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org/~andrew/ http://ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 28 8:25:27 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.airmail.net (mail.airmail.net [206.66.12.40]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 5182014D0D for ; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 08:25:25 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mceder@theorion.net) Received: from in from [207.136.36.230] by mail.airmail.net (/\##/\ Smail3.1.30.16 #30.405) with smtp for sender: id ; Sat, 28 Aug 99 10:25:11 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19990828102325.006f5380@10.40.10.2> X-Sender: mceder@10.40.10.2 X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 10:23:25 -0500 To: Stefan Peter From: Mikael Cederberg Subject: Re: Staroffice Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Or do(as root): cd /usr/ports/editors/staroffice make make install (read the instructions from the make program) At 04:31 PM 8/28/99 +1000, Jim Mock wrote: >On Sat, 28 Aug 1999 at 08:27:59 +0200, Stefan Peter wrote: >> Dear Answerers, >> >> Is is possible to have staroffice on FreeBSD platforms? > >Yes, see http://minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au/Misc/staroffice.html for >instructions. > >-- >- Jim Mock - jim@blues.ghis.net - systems administrator - ghis.NET - >- work: http://www.ghis.net/ - personal: http://www.ghis.net/~jim/ - >- FreeBSD 'zine: http://www.freebsdzine.org/ - jim@freebsdzine.org - >- The FreeBSD Project -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - jim@FreeBSD.org - > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 28 8:30:40 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from unix.megared.net.mx (megamail.megared.com.mx [207.249.162.252]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0CDE814D0D for ; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 08:30:33 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ales@megared.net.mx) Received: from ales (ales.megared.net.mx [207.249.163.250]) by unix.megared.net.mx (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id KAA62489; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 10:27:15 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from ales@megared.net.mx) Message-ID: <02a001bef169$f0132840$faa3f9cf@megared.net.mx> From: "Alejandro Ramirez" To: "Christopher Michaels" , Cc: "FreeBSD Questions" References: <6C37EE640B78D2118D2F00A0C90FCB4401105BFE@site2s1> Subject: RE: Why does TCP Wrappers require /etc/hosts.deny (was: tcp wrappers) Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 10:28:09 -0500 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2014.211 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2014.211 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Thanks, It works, but I have notice something, yesterday I had to reboot my system because a fsck thing, and it started to work with the /etc/hosts.allow file, I have also erased the /etc/hosts.deny file, and everything its working now why its this happening???, why this stange behavior???, Im really confused here, its this a "BUG" with tcp wrappers, a failing part of 3.2 Release???, its the inetd problem wich its causing this???

I was talking about compilers for the 64-bit machines. As far as I understood to make porting easier the major Unix vendors have agreed on 2 64-bit modes in addition to the compatibility 32-bit mode: - 32-bit int, 32-bit long, 64-bit long long, 64-bit pointers - 32-bit int, 64-bit long, 64-bit long long, 64-bit pointers While the 64-bit Windows NT has 32-bit int, 32-bit long, 64-bit long long, 32-bit pointers, 64-bit some special kind of pointers.

Of course. All it does is run `bash --version`, throughing its output away, which will just make sure you *can* actually run it. If that succeeds, it will run bash properly as a login shell for you. The test -x command just makes sure the file has the executable flag set. Normally, that should be enough, but if you want to be paranoid you should check for example that a library isn't missing. allow me to demonstrate: root@magnesium:~# bash --version /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.3" not found root@magnesium:~# echo $? 1 root@magnesium:~# [ -x /usr/local/bin/bash ] root@magnesium:~# echo $? 0 root@magnesium:~# As you can see, the [ -x ] says that bash *can* be executed, when in fact, it cannot, as running it demonstrates: a library is missing. If you do exec bash when a library is missing, your current shell will vanish, and take you back to a login prompt, or in my case, my normal account which I had su'd from (yes, I did have another root window open to put libc.so.3 back in place :-) > Can I place it into the .login file as written minus quotes, > "/usr/local/bin/bash --version >/dev/null 2>&1 && exec /usr/local/bin/bash" Yes. > or do I need the [ -x like the earlier line was written?

I was *hoping* someone would mention this. I come at this from the angle of not being a "computer professional". Although I have a CS degree, I don't work in the industry, but have been playing with Unix since the mid-80's after beginning with CP/M in the 70's. I do some consulting and C programming, but I don't get to hear all the latest stuff "around the shop" or "around the lab". A lot of times, documentation which becomes perfectly clear, when one finally understands what the documentor was alluding to but no saying, can be *very* frustrating for me... and I don't think I'm totally uneducated, just not a part of the "leading edge". I am finally seeing some examples in man pages. This was unofficially "verboten" for some reason in the old days. Yes, it's a great feeling to "figure it out for yourself", but a lot of newbies are probablly folk who don't have the time and don't work in the industry, even though they may have all the grit and determination. I think a little unbending of the man page rituals man be in order. Examples are great! Once you grasp the basic idea, you can use the rest of the page to figure out how to improve the system or add features or options. Simply adding a typical useage example to the bottom of the page would work wonders for some people, I think. There are a lot of things that gurus "just know". I work at a place with a lot of technical folk who can understand complicted systems, but don't work with computers. Several have gotten interested in Unix, since I run FreeBSD at my workstation. I sure get some blank looks when, after telling them about how most things work such as "ls" or "cp" and then they come across "dd"! I think a lot of us suffer from the attitude that "When I was new, I had to learn it the hard way". That's human nature. If you're in the business full-time, that's probably best, but if FreeBSD is going to grow, we have to make the learning curve a little shallower at the bottom end. -(climbing off soapbox) Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 28 10:16:19 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from granite.sentex.net (granite.sentex.ca [199.212.134.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0061C14C17 for ; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 10:16:17 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mike@sentex.net) Received: from ospf-mdt.sentex.net (ospf-mdt.sentex.net [205.211.164.81]) by granite.sentex.net (8.8.8/8.6.9) with SMTP id NAA27914 for ; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 13:13:41 -0400 (EDT) From: mike@sentex.net (Mike Tancsa) To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: adopt a newbie program Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 17:26:46 GMT Message-ID: <37c81941.999746859@mail.sentex.net> References: <00a001bef00d$76fbb100$857e03cb@jdy> In-Reply-To: X-Mailer: Forte Agent .99e/32.227 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 27 Aug 1999 10:08:35 -0400, in sentex.lists.freebsd.questions you wrote: >Young writes: > >IMO, no.

I dont always have the time to commit on a regular basis. However, I think one thing that might help is to try and get people to post questions in a more useful format. Perhaps a web page interface similar to the GNATS so that they dont endup posting subjects that say "I doesnt work!" or something else that is too vague. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Who is this 'BSD', and why should we free him?"

If you can not understand what the man pages tell you then you sure as as hell are not gonna get their solutions to YOUR problem(s). Buy Greg Lehey's excellent book "The Complete FreeBSD", scour the man pages, read the source documentation and very possible reference at www.freebsd.org. If you can't find the answer to your question while exhausting the aforementioned resources, I will know this and offer a solution upon reading your post.

Not the serial card, but I tried the SIIG PCI parallel port card--FreeBSD 3.2 couldn't find it. But the SIIG ISA parallel port card (non-PnP, with jumpers) worked great.

What you say is absolutely true. Experienced users who worked hard to obtain a basic facility with unix have an expectation that someone who wants to learn the system will put a little effort into learning it themselves. The problem is that there isn't any one place to start. Every bit of knowledge assumes some other bits of knowledge, and there really aren't any alternatives to just slogging through it till it starts making sense. > A common issue here is the MAN's & HOWTO's .... which may well be a valuable > reference > tool if one knows a bit, but to a newbie looking for a simple command its > totally frustrating having to wade through a list of 345, 347,237 switches > (of which maybe 2 apply in 99% of instances) and maybe 443 lines to find the > ONE you need. How is the man page supposed to know what switch you want to use? Unix rewards those who get in there and dig, it does not reward people who want to be spoon fed. Also, the neat thing about FreeBSD is that if you don't like the documentation, you are ENCOURAGED to submit changes. Personally I've worked pretty hard to improve what I can, and although I think I'm better at faking it than some of the "higher level" programmers I don't have a new user perspective anymore. The short version is, if you don't like what you see, work to change it. But please don't expect the entire Unix world to change just because you happened to step into it.

The more I use windows the more it makes me mad. What have I been bitten by today you might ask? Why is it the 'administrator' cannot have access to user files without explicitly giving himself access rights? This is creating an administration nightmare for me. If only I had adequate command line tools, I could write a script that could take care of the problem. Of course I could buy a command line app for about $300, but to me, that tool should be included by default with a server OS. The more I use FreeBSD, the more I appreciate the power and depth of the tools at my disposal to get the job done.

The terminal type is set to be "unknown" not "dialup". If the two machines are not connected via a serial cable, the following command shows two entries on both machines: # ps -axww | grep getty 211 ?? I 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0 244 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd1 ...... However, if I connect the two machines with a PC modem cable + NULL modem converter + PC modem cable, only one entry on each machine is shown by ps. For example, if com 1 of machine 1 is connected to com 2 of machine 2, then on machine 1, I only have the ttyd1 available and on machine 2, I only have the ttyd0 available. This situation prevents me from using the following command in kermit: > set line /dev/ttyd1 (or /dev/ttyd0) I somehow circumvent this by disconnecting the line and run kermit on two machines and then re-connect the cable. Then I can transfer a file with send command (the other machine acts as server), only the transfer stops after some percentage of work. This indicates the cable is fine. But why the entry disappears from the ps command. I hope someone can help me out on this. -------------------------------------------------- Zhihui Zhang.

It applies to anyone that does work that has patent or security requirements. For example, if you are involved in a special project and you don't want your competitors to find out what is going on, you certainly don't have curious people in the computer room.

I am going to say something controversial here, but I'm interested in the reply.... When I was in the computer architecture classes, I did a lot of modeling of various kinds of things that could be done to speed up a processor (the least of which is cache memory, but it stands as a good "for instance" thing here). One thing that impressed me, when doing modelling of multiple different things like speculative execution and the IA64's rumored ability to speculatively execute several different paths of loop, was the extreme difficulty to adequately model how all the different parts work (and mis-work) together. You end up having to really inspect many megabytes of output in detail, just to figure out if one feature worked right in one particular scenario, and I was only doing a relatively basic piece of modelling. Trying to model the IA64 would have been a Manhattan Project sized task. Honestly, I am wondering about Intel and HP's ability to really produce a reliable chip that had as many difficult-to-model features as the IA64 is supposed to have. I think that's the real reason that it's not actually being sampled. Your point on the 860 is very correct, but if they *could* have brought the IA64 out today with the features that they have been promising (at the speed they promised) it would have made the PowerPC and the Alpha look ill, and I *do* think it would have been quite a masterstroke by Intel, merely because the monstrous resources needed for a competitor to do the same would have guaranteed Intel at least a very good running start on the market. This makes me believe, more than ever, that everything that Intel has put out on the IA64 (and, at least in academic circles, that's a whole lot) has been vaporware and FUD. I can't respect them for that. > > I suppose what this "rant" is all about is that I'm not > convinced Merced is the "chip of the future" that we all > need to be worried about.

I used to be running 4.0-CURRENT (as of last night) and now i'm running 3.2-STABLE, and with STABLE, Netscape is still dumping. Anybody who can help out, please let me know. P.S. It says Bus Error (Core Dumped) P.S.S. KDE's CD Player is also dumping its core.

It sounds to me like you missed something. I'd do the install from floppies again, thereby wiping your disk and starting over (after taking appropriate backups of course). While we try to support the upgrade procedure as much as possible, downgrading is not officially supported.

The block size is 8KB. The minimum allocatable unit on the filesytem is the "frag" size, however, which is 1K by default. Files smaller than the block size may use one or more frags instead.

Although the suite of tools is not as rich as under FreeBSD or UNIX, it is just as powerfull. For your spicific gripe I suggest you take a hard look at the System Policy Editor. It will allow you to create a policy that will force all user creations to give Administrator or Domain Administrator full permissions at the time of creation. If you want UNIX shell capability on NT then download from Microsoft the Microsoft Services for Unix. BTW, its free. As in UNIX, users of Windows NT need the illusion of privacy. Most of them simply do not understand why a SysAdmin needs access to ALL files and directories. Most users do not realize that a SysAdmin has access to thier email, all of thier files, can trace all of thier activities, and create ongoing logs of their day to day actilvities. AT WILL. Undetectably! And use that information for any purpose that they want. As for FreeBSD, i'm glad you are looking at it. I like FreeBSD over Linux (Linux -- Change OS daily!) as it is a controlled core implimentation. When the people at FreeBSD say a release is stable, IT IS STABLE!!! Please feel free to contact me for any NT SysAdmin issues, and NT/UNIX system integration issues. Michael W. Akers M. Akers Enterprises P.S. I hope this ends this thread.

SPARC: 1) Check to make sure that the modem control bank software exists for FreeBSD. 2) Take a SPARC station and remove the HD and swap it with a bland HD, then install FreeBSD on that platform. Make sure it runs correctly. 3) Make sure that all of the scripts will operate correctly in the FreeBSD environment. 4) Test the ISP environment under full simulated load, and test it under real mode. PC: 1) On a PC using an Intel MB w/500MHz Pent III proc. 512MB PC-100 DRAM, Adaptec U2WIDE controller, Seagate Cheetah U2Wide LVD HD (5.4MS). 2) Install FreeBSD. 3) 1,3-4 under SPARC apply. Remember that Sun has a proven performance niche where ISP is concerned. Do make the comparisons above and you should have the ammo to make a decision. Even though FreeBSD is free and very fast (small kernel) it is the hardware in this case that makes all of the difference. Hope this helps. Michael W. Akers M.

Self reliance and adaptability. Open Source Systems are becoming increasingly attractive in the ISP arena for a multitude of reasons. If you have proprietary software needs that would have to be weighed in the balance. > > Should the ISP run the mail server on differnet machine, and named on > saprate machine ..etc? That is one route. You can provide reliable services by having multiple low cost servers as opposed to having a monster Solaris box. A well thought out architecture will scale nicely to a large user base. All services on a single box provides centralized management, but a single problematic service can affect services across the board. There is a point at which you cannot add more tasks to single box; that point is becoming more easily reached these days. > > Could someone who was using SunOS/Solaris give me more details. > > Your help is appreicated. > > -Arabian aka Abdullah > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 28 23:16:50 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp1.erols.com (smtp1.erols.com [207.172.3.234]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 085AF14CE6 for ; Sat, 28 Aug 1999 23:16:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from yaldabaoth@geocities.com) Received: from geocities.com (207-172-145-130.s3.as6.fdk.md.dialup.rcn.com [207.172.145.130]) by smtp1.erols.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA24010; Sun, 29 Aug 1999 02:14:10 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <37C8CF8A.716FDB42@geocities.com> Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 02:13:30 -0400 From: Andrew Sherrod X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (Win98; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: yaldabaoth@geocities.com Subject: Problems with libXm.so.1.2 in v3.2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was trying to compile a Motif application and (after some tinkering with the -L and -I flags) almost succeeded in compiling it except for the error : /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized A "file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so" displays: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so: symbolic link to libXm.so.1.2 A "file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.1.2" displays: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.1.2: FreeBSD/i386 compact demand paged shared library not stripped The compiler command I am running is (and I realize I probably have more -L and -I flags than I absolutely need): cc [program] -o [output] -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/usr/X11R6/lib -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 \ -L/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 \ -lXm -lXt -lX11 Four questions: 1) Is there something I am forgetting? 2) Is this library known to be borken?

I added -static to the compiler command, and it did recognize libXm.a, but now I get a full two screens of error messages, mostly undefined references in Shell.o, as well as undefined _XmStrings and XmCreatePushButton in main. [I did include "Xm.h" and "PushB.h"]. (I can provide a print-out if needed). Is there a simple solution that I am overlooking? Did the static version of shell.o not get updated when I upgraded versions? (I have run every version from 2.2.6 through 3.2 including 3.0). Once again, thanks for the input.
