We've got a web machine thta is running out of processes to the extent the it can't spawn CGI scripts anymore. This started happening when I upgraded from 2.1.7.1 to 2.2.2. The web server runs under the a non-priv user called webboss. We usually unlimit the number of processes and openfiles in a startup script that unlimits the shell before firing up 'httpd' (apache). I've created a class called 'web' in /etc/login.conf with limits of 1000 processes and 2000 files (we've got a USERS 128 in the kernel). I've attached this class to the 'webboss' user in the passwd file. We're still getting 'out of processes' errors for this user though. When this last happened a 'ps -aux | grep ^webboss | wc' showed 150 processes running for webboss, and I couldn't 'su -m weboss' from root. Does anybody know how login.conf works? It's not clear to me from the manual whether it's values act globally, or only for users that have logged in? What can I do to fix this problem. It's causing us major problems at the moment. Joe p.s. the passwd(5) man page still shows that the class field is unused. This isn't the case anymore is it? -- Josef Karthauser Technical Manager Email: joe@pavilion.net Pavilion Internet plc.

It canīt > detect it. NO! IDE CD-ROMs are driven by the wcd driver. You don't need the matcd driver. However, you need your CD to be connected to one of the main EIDE controllers (the same ones you use to connect your HDs to, assuming your disks are IDE as well). The best combination seems to be either: - Have the CD as the slave of the primary EIDE controller (with the first disk as its master). OR - Have the CD as the master (or only device) on the secondary EIDE controller. > > >From DOS it says itīs in PORT 168 and IRQ 10 (Creative DOS Driver 1.19). > > Iīve tried (because of my Sound Blaster documentation): > 1) Ports 0x168, 0x178 (0x10 more), with IRQs 10 and 11 > 2) Ports 0x1e8, 0x1f8 (0x10 more), with IRQs 11 and 12 > 3) Ports 0x170, 0x180 (0x10 more), with IRQ 15 > 4) Ports 0x1f0, 0x200 (0x10 more), with IRQs 14 > > Well, no way.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings all, For quite some time, my system has been unstable, and I've been trying to find the solution. I think that I finally have, but I'd like to run my diagnosis by more people to see if I'm more or less correct, as I am no hardware expert. The biggest problem I have is the ominous "Page fault while in kernel mode" bomb. This happens all the time (at least once a day) during various processes. I've tried things like removing all unnecessary cards, disabling cache, etc, but the faults continued. Last week, my /var partition crashed (bad superblock). It made me fairly sad, especially when fsck died with a floating point exception when I tried to repair the problem (!). I was able to run newfs on /var and repair things. Last night, my system went fruitcake. Every so often two columns of video shifted up a couple rows and random letters started blinking. When I rebooted, I found that I had a bad superblock on /. Again, i was sad, but reinstalled. Today while building my kernel the compile failed where it shouldn't have, complaining of a non-digit where a digit should have been. Sure enough, there was a letter "s" stuck in the middle of a number where it had not been the last time I tried to compile. My analysis of these events leads me to believe that most of my problems are the result of a flaky disk controller; the page faults could very well have been a result of reading bad data off the swap partition on the disk, which could conceivably make the OS go berzerk, resulting in any number of strange things happening, such as the video spasm I got last night (which had also happened a few months ago before either partition crashed. at that time it looked like a program mistakenly thought its stack belonged in my video ram). The disk controller is a WDC AC31600H on a WD Caviar drive. I've been told that the WD controllers beginning with a 3 cause problems. Can anyone share experiences of this? Any insight or corrections to my hypothesis are most welcome and appreciated.

Its outdated since FreeBSD 2.1.5 (August '96). Since then the ATAPI support is merged in the boot.flp kernel. If your doc is the `The Complete FreeBSD Book' you should get the erratas. It is posted on this mailing list regularly. You can search for it in the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org. (And be impressed by the new looks of our web site :-) > OK.

The matcd driver does *not* support ATAPI CDs. They connect through an IDE interface and are controlled by the wdc/wcd drivers. So you'll have to find out if you have an IDE interface or a proprietary Matsushita-Panasonic type of interface. The matcd driver supports only CR-562-x and CR-563-x devices, not CR-522-x or CR-523-x drives! You can find out more about it in the drivers man page. (man matcd) If you don't have a running FreeBSD system you can find the man page at our http://www.freebsd.org.

Just choose the intimidating `7 Custom' from the main menu, where it says `for experts'. From that menu select `4 Distributions' and than `7 Custom'. Remember to select a menu item by hiliting it with the cursor keys and than pressing the *space* key -- *not* the enter key. After that choose sources and finally FreeBSD kernel. After selecting the kernel source distribution you have to choose your media and then commit your selections. This reads more complicated than it is!

If ANY swapping occurs, the upages can be corrupted, the kernel will likely crash. In essence, if you have a system that SIG-11's at all due to hardware problems, your system will be much more vulnerable if you swap.

You'll have to edit the /etc/fstab entries to reflect the changes you did with fdisk. To do so, you have to boot in single user mode. (Enter -s at the boot prompt) If you are asked to enter the shell enter the shell. Edit /etc/fstab. If your editor is not available because it is on the /usr partition do a mount /dev/wd0s3a /usr |^letter of your /usr partition. ^ slice number, depends on which slice your /usr partition lives. The error message is confusing to me. You did not change the root slice, right? It was an wd0s2a before and after your changes. So it should mount correctly in the first place! If editing the slice numbers in /etc/fstab does not help, try using *no* slice number for the partitions on the first FreeBSD slice, i. e. use wd0a instead of wd0s2a. No slice means `first FreeBSD slice'.

X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk hello folks, I am a very dedicated computer lover and I intend to try FreeBSD in my computer. The configuration of my computer is fine, but the complexity of the instalation makes me cry. Computers were created to make things simple, not complicated for men. The reason Microsoft and Apple are so famous all ,over the world is the simplicity and directness of their applications and approach. I own a pc and when I need to install something, I go, download the program and click setup, or the program file if it is an exe file, even zip, but i know it is allthere and i donot have to gather anything , just click the file to install the OS. Now with FreeBSD, I go to the ftp site and it is a total confusion for the common computer user. I have no idea which is the real program or what should I download!!! The information is confusing and extremely technical.The versio 2.2.2 ( most recent one) has tons of directories and no clue which one IS THE OS iteself. If you all want more people to enjoy your creation, you should make it real simple and direct to obtain. Indicate clearly which file is the one to download that contains the whole OS and try to make it as simple as it is to install windows 95 or win3.1 or even DOS for that matter. The days where computers were only for nerds and total weird affictionados of computing are OVER!! I still go to universities and I have to argue with the computer lab technicians to make things simple and easy for the people that never spend 4 to 5 years only studying computers. I want to install FreeBSD, but I need some help regarding WHAT to download from the ftp site. What file do I download??? There are so many directories that i do not know what I place in each floppy so I can install later,like win3.1, one floppy at a time and it is done. Can you clarify it for me and my friends so we can try your OS??? Try to make it very simple and direct so absolutely no confusion are created. Even though I know Microsoft is not liked at all by the real computer hackers the simplicity and directness of their applications is a good thing it should be imitated. I appreciate anything that leads me to the right directon without the need for me to take a full computer course. Thank you.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. 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. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: 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 break- ing 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 that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, 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 ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- 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: 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. 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. 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. 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. 7. 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. 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: 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. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

There is a known interaction between FreeBSD 2.2 (and later) and XFree86 3.3 that can generate this error. However, I vaguely recall getting this error from xperfmon++ with XFree86 3.2... ..anyway, the message comes from libXt and is caused by incorrect assumptions about what realloc() returns when given a size of zero. phk@freebsd.org can probably explain the details if you want them. The problem has been resolved in FreeBSD-current, but for 2.2.x, you have to re-build your libc with the src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c from -current. A slightly easier stopgap measure is to link affected programs with the gnumalloc library (in /usr/lib/compat). -john From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 16 06:41:46 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA05567 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Jun 1997 06:41:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from indigo.ie (aoife.indigo.ie [194.125.133.9]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA05562 for ; Mon, 16 Jun 1997 06:41:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from indigo.ie (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by indigo.ie (8.8.5/8.8.5/INDIGO-HUB) with ESMTP id OAA09927 for ; Mon, 16 Jun 1997 14:41:34 +0100 (BST) Message-Id: <199706161341.OAA09927@indigo.ie> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: NFS and file locking in FreeBSD From: Alan Judge Date: Mon, 16 Jun 1997 14:41:34 +0100 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Can anyone tell me what the current status of NFS file locking in FreeBSD is?

How do I install that file? ----begin included message I am trying to get XFree86 up and running on my machine. My machine is a pentium grade pc with a Diamond Stealth 2201 video card (S3 Trio 64 V+ with 2 Meg of RAM) and an old regular VGA monitor. I belive that my config file is correct for the hardware I have. I am using the S3 server, a horizontal scan freq of 31.5 kHz, and a vertical of 60 Hz. I didn't perform any RAMDAC or clockchip settings. I have installed on my machine, version 3.2 of XFree86 that came with my version 2.2.1 distribution of FreeBSD. I performed the installation about 3 weeks ago and haven't had x running yet. I logged in as root into one of the available virtual terminals and typed "xdm -nodaemon". After a few seconds, this provided me with an x login screen. I tried logging into my regular user account through this screen. The screen went black for a few seconds and then just simply returned me to the x login screen. I then returned back to the virtual terminal where I had started xdm, and typed to kill xdm. I then went to my user directory and found a .xession-errors file that reported the following error: "ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXpm.so.4.10" After this, I tried the following command after logging in to another virtual terminal into my user account: "startx >& oufile" I have included this file at the end of this message. It contains the same error as above. My home directory of my user account contains the following "dot" files: .ctwmrc /* I want to use ctwm as my window manger. This file is simply a copy of the system.ctwmrc file I found in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm */ .Xresources /* I also simply copied this file from xdm directory */ .xinitrc /* I created this file from the example on the startx man page -- see below */ I have a couple of other generic questions: I am thinking that I will start xdm from my /etc/rc.local file (I don't have an /etc/inittab file nor do I know what it is), how will xdm know how to start ctwm instead of something like fvwm or the like? Do I need to continue using startx? Maybe from my .profile?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Please can someone help me? I have a problem with installing FreeBSD release 2.2.2 on my PC. I have a new second hard disk, 1.2Gb, running on a PCI/IDE bus in mode 4. I am trying to load FreeBSD onto it, using all of the disk except the 'compatibility' partition at the front, offered to me by the kernel creation process. I am getting a message 'Write ERROR! -1 bytes written of 1024' with a bytes-transferred count which appears to suggest that it is partway through writing from the bin.as file (46056 bytes in). I obtained the /bin software by downloading it from the Internet using Netscape Navigator 3.0, from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.2-RELEASE/bin , onto the C drive of my WindowsNT 4.0 machine at work, and then transferring the DOS files to floppies for use at home. I am using the latest (May 27) boot floppy from ..../newer/boot.flp and have tried installing both from floppies and from a DOS partition (the floppies content dumped to my home PC's C drive - the new disk is the D drive). I have tried downloading the bin files several times, reformatting and reloading the floppies (several different ones), scanning the hard disk both in Win95 and using the bad-blocks scan of the FreeBSD installation process: no bad tracks/blocks. The kernel configuration process seems to go ok: no device conflicts, no apparent nasty messages, no problems with the boot-manager installation or with partitioning the disk. The only things I can think of are that either: (1) the file bin.as is corrupt on the Internet, or (2) Netscape Navigator is somehow corrupting the file as it downloads on my NT machine. Have I come across a bug in Mavigator? Am I missing something in my naivete (I am installing this to learn more about Unix)? I would very much appreciate any assistance you can give me. Pete Clark.

Fortunately, these files don't need to be updated that often. Is this still true? A quick eyeball through the source in /usr/src/lib/libc/net/getservent.c shows what look like appropriate YP functions, and quick tests with my /etc/services file seem to show that the '+' token in /etc/services *is* recognised and acted upon. If someone more knowledgable than me could confirm this is the case, I'll submit patches to the appropriate documentation (since it looks like -current, based on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/man/man4/yp.4 has the same wrong information).

That's your opinion. If you read the web site in some sort of logical sequence, all the most straightforward questions are answered (including approximately 80% of the ones that get asked on this list). Read on; I'm going to tell you what you want to know, but first some comments on your email posting here and your attitude. >I have no idea which is the real program or > what should I download!!!

I guarantee that it took you longer to post this diatribe than it would have taken to read the instructions on the web site.

This is from memory; please review the web site and use the instructions there if they differ from these. 1. Inventory your computer's hardware. Write down all the addresses and IRQs used by your hardware devices. You should also do this before installing win95, by the way. 2. Obtain the file floppies/boot.flp and the prograw rawwrite.exe 3. Be sure to use binary mode if you ftp these programs. 4. Use the rawwrite.exe program to put the boot.flp image onto a 1.44MB floppy. (Under DOS. At one time, at least, win95 DOS boxes would not work.) In your case the floppy should be formatted under DOS, and it should have NO bad sectors. If it has bad sectors use another floppy and try again. The boot.flp image is NOT a DOS file. It is a floppy image. If you use the DOS copy program, the image will not fit, and even if it did, it would not work. 5. Set up your computer BIOS to boot from the floppy before the hard disk, then reboot your computer. When it offers the Boot: prompt, enter -c and press Return It will load a special version of FreeBSD that is set up for installations. Follow the instructions to go into the "visual" mode of the device configuration system. Deactivate (turn off) all the devices you DO NOT have. Adjust the addresses and IRQs of the ones you DO have. Follow the instructions AFTER READING THEM (carefully). 6. If you have an Internet connection, you can use it to obtain the rest of the files needed for the installation. If not, but have a CDROM drive, I suggest that is the next best way to go. Actually, I suggest that is best even if you do have an Internet connection. 7. If neither of those, you will have to post again (hopefully in a little less flaming way) asking for detailed instructions for an MS-DOS install, (I'm assuming that you will not read the web site on how to do that.) I have no experience with MSDOS installations, and I am not going to fire up Netscape just to copy them down for you. > Even though I know Microsoft is not liked at all by the real computer > hackers the simplicity and directness of their applications is a good > thing it should be imitated. We are trying, but if you think you are going to be successful with any Unix with that attitude, in my opinion you will fail. The learning curve is steep, but this is an OPPORTUNITY if you will adjust your attitude. I suggest you make use of it. > I appreciate anything that leads me to the right directon without the > need for me to take a full computer course.

First, all instructions ARE clearly available on the www.freebsd.org website. But second, as to why FreeBSD does not (and probably will never) fall out of the box onto your computer, this is because its developers are more concerned with adding *power* to it, and fixing things to work even better. You know, I just bought a copy of Win3.1 for my company, and it still has all the original bugs in it???!!!! Micros**t doesn't even BOTHER to tell you their crap needs work. Have you been told to download the two "service packs" to fix your W95 yet? It's only on the SURFACE that their stuff is easier to use. Have you tried programming for their GUI yet? I'll clue you in, it's PAINFUL! When you become proficient in FreeBSD, if you still feel the way you do, I would suggest that you contribute some scripts to the FreeBSD distribution which automate some more of the installation details. Your contribution would be welcomed, there's always more to do! Third, is it worth it? YESYESYES! The world needs a free antidote to Micros**t and all the rest, source code included. We support FreeBSD.org and fsf.org with our code and our support and our refusal to pay for bloated, bug-ridden software and overblown marketing. You will find that your computer has more (free) software on it, works better, and can do more with FreeBSD. It may take you three or four times to configure it right, but I will put that up against my ugly experiences with W95 and NT and Novell any day. I prefer configurability and source code and instant support from these lists to cattle-prod stupidity and the right to fork over my money for somebody else's bugs. I support my company's computer needs with all of the above operating systems, plus HP-UX and NT as well. All of my CRITICAL systems (except our CAD stations) run FreeBSD. I do have Novell and W3.1 as many of my clients, but I offer them the choice of FreeBSD + X + fvwm instead of their Windoze PC's, and more and more of them are jumping. These, mind you, are PC users who grew up on Micros**t, but Applix Office reads all Micros**t files, and it works well. I'm working on replacing Nov(h)ell with NFS-mounted FreeBSD, but the problem is that NFS for PC's is not free. It'll take me a while, but I'll get there eventually. If I can get all my clients to jump, I'll be home free! Whew! Well, I guess I did end up shouting, but I feel strongly about this.

I'm not using any mail-filter and my MUA and MTA agree about the mailbox format. Even better yet, the logs at my MX show that the messages already arrive truncated. The last time I contacted our esteemed postmaster@freebsd.org about this, he produced logs clearly showing that already the outbound message from hub.freebsd.org was shorter than the actual digest. Ignoring this he told me he would proceed to ask the other recipients of that particular mailing whether they had received a truncated digest.

Are there any inherent problems with the setuid scheme used on Solaris boxes (aside from logic problems introduced by the script writer)? If not, we might consider switching to that method. Seems like part of the differences involve the passing of the name of the script to the interpreter via /dev/fd/3 rather than passing a pathname on the command-line. To write setuid scripts on Solaris one simply uses: "#!/bin/sh -p" or "#!/bin/csh -fb" at the top of scripts, where: SH: -p If the -p flag is present, the shell will not set the effective user and group IDs to the real user and group IDs. CSH: -b Force a break from option processing. Subsequent command line arguments are not interpreted as C shell options. This allows the passing of options to a script without confusion. The shell does not run set-user-ID or set-group-ID scripts unless this option is present. -f Fast start. Read neither the .cshrc file, nor the .login file (if a login shell) upon startup. Of course, its up to the script writer to be sensible in writing the script, as in Perl (e.g. override PATH, etc.). But setuid perl is supported, so that's not really an issue.

Good question; but it begs the question "what is a credential?". I suspect it's unreasonable to have processes started in the rc.conf file calling setrlimit() as a required action.

I can bash with the best of 'em (and do), but the real reasons behind much of the success of Microsoft(R) is their marketing -- it works and people buy their stuff. That, combined with a lot of history and business junk none of us want to read here. Apple is in decline, and yes, there is history there too (start back at PARC place for that?). <- snip -> > I appreciate anything that leads me to the right directon without the > need for me to take a full computer course. Okay, but let's keep it to the point and leave out the editorial parts. Specifically, what do you want to know at this point, and what have you completed (step-wise) up to now? Also, a list of your hardware might be helpful (someone may see a pitfall ahead based on experience to date). If I can't help you, someone will. This is that kind of list. Finally, I concur with your assessment of the installation process. It is not a point-and-shoot type of thing like, say, installing some small application or even Win 95 on a normal WINTEL box. I believe it could be made easier, but I am not sure if the payoff is there. I have seen much more difficult installations (System V, ver 3.2 comes to mind), and a certain amount of the installation of any UNIX needs to be left open for an administrator to configure -- you can install and build a kernel for the OS that does not work from a registry (NT or Win 95). To do that you have to make decisions on what options you want to take, and can tune things to fit your needs. Also, I understand that the CD-ROM installation is very easy (haven't seen it). Read the docs, and ask questions to the list as needed. You may find that if you can tell us in advance what you have read or what reference you are working from, that you will get a quicker, or at least a more complete answer in less time. Most do expect you to read (quite a bit) before you ask though -- it saves many questions that the docs answer. bab PS DOS, and all that followed, came from UNIX, and Bill Gates knows it. Anyone care to comment on how parts of the NT registry act a bit like a bloated set of rc.d files when it boots?

There are a variety of 8-port hubs, made by different manufacturers, from different chipsets. Performance-wise, there are some differences, but not that many. Some of the "high-end" hubs include automatic jabber detection and lockout, and even network management protocols like SNMP. You'll find the former on *some* low-end hubs, the latter only on expensive hubs designed for large organizations. If you own 1 or 2 hubs, and 1 goes bad, its not too difficult to figure out which one it is. The one major difference on the low end is tech support: does the vendor have any? Do you have to pay for it? How long does it last? I have an Accton (cheap) 5-port hub and a Dayna 12-port hub at home; both work just fine. I'll recommend the Dayna products because they work well, the cost is pretty much in line with other brands, *they offer lifetime tech support*, and because I work for them -- plug plug! Your mileage may vary, but I suspect these days 5- and 8-port hubs are about as "commodity" an item as you can get, along the order of floppy drives and keyboards. You just plug them in and they work. > Also, can anybody recommend a good mail order shop (or tell me which ones > to stay away from ;) ? DataComm Warehouse: www.warehouse.com. I've ordered every network device I've ever owned, up until I joined Dayna, from them. One satisified customer here. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

As delivered via m4, hosts listed in virtusertable need to also be in Cw. I think this is wrong but that doesn't count for much, it is how it works. So you need to either add reogroup.com to Cw or write your own virtusertable rule that checks every address it is handed and put it in S98.

Hmm, from the man page: Given one or two arguments, ln creates a link to an existing file source_file. If target_file is given, the link has that name; target_file may also be a directory in which to place the link; otherwise it is placed in the current directory. If only the directory is specified, the link will be made to the last component of source_file. You've created "dir.symbolic/dir2 -> dir2". > -- > Christopher G.

They only support PCI machines, which your 43P is, but I'm not sure IBM supports the OpenProm spec. AIX, however, is one of the most BSDish Unices out there. It shouldn't be that hard to make the switch. (The 42P is a nice box, BTW.) Before you make the migration, I would suggest: a) Read up on LVM (Logical Volume Manager) -- use th `info' command. b) Read `info' on SRC (System Resource Controller) c) Get used to the oddball file system (The netscape server, Domino, etc., will be in /usr/lpp.) d) Get familiar with `SMIT'. (#info -s smit) e) Read everything you can find in `info' about printers and the queueing system. f) Sendmail and DNS are older versions. Sendmail is 8.7.[4,5] -- Don't know if m4 macros are available. g) When you get frustrated trying to customize the system, try #info -s odm' h) Read `info' on backup/restore and mksysb.

If ppp isn't adding a default at startup, it's a document error (now fixed). HISADDR doesn't work in ppp.conf - only in ppp.linkup (and now, ppp.linkdown). Change it to whatever the peers address is and put the "add 0 0 HISADDR" in ppp.linkup. I don't know what you mean by "caps". The "what?" means it didn't understand one of the directives in your config file (this message is now a bit better too), or what you just typed - maybe the one with the default route ?

Hi, I'm a user of FreeBSD 2.x (several 2.0, 2.1 systems, and now three new 2.2.1 systems), and have just purchased a locally-made (Australian) 8-port modem card. They claim it is compatible with an "Arnet" 8-port serial card. I've looked at the FAQ and searched the FreeBSD DOCs, it's indicated as being supported, but I don't know how to go about it. Can you please suggest where I can look, which man page(s) are appropriate! It would be wonderful if you could say "add the line xxxx xxx xx xxx xxxx to the config file and re-compile"! I don't know what IO base I should be using, or what interrupt is expected by default. Any assistance you can provide will be appreciated, as I'm not a unix guru (yet, but I keep reading). My problem at this time is that I don't have time to play.... this box is supposed to be in and running at a site I won't have access to again for months, and my time runs out in a couple of days.

More problems with accessing a Linux server from FreeBSD. I managed to configure the FreeBSD box as a NIS client by editing /etc/sysconfig. I also added '+' to the end of /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group. After rebooting, I can see the NIS password maps using "ypcat passwd", ie: % ypcat passwd joe:XYZ:504:504::/home/joe:/bin/bash ian::503:503::/home/ian:/bin/bash bill:ABC:500:500::/home/bill:/bin/bash (Names changed to protect the innocent ...) However, I can't log in. I understand that there's an incompatibility with Linux in that Linux uses DES to encrypt passwords, whereas FreeBSD uses MD5 by default. However, on this machine, I selected DES encryption during the install, and /usr/lib/libcrypt.* -> /usr/lib/libdescrypt.*. So I should be using DES on this box already? True? However, I can't even log in as "ian" (who doesn't have a password). So it doesn't seem to be a DES/MD5 problem at all. Any help much appreciated.

It is what I'd imagine you get when you start with a perfectly ugly version of UNIX, SVR2, and let a bunch of ex-mainframe goobers hack on it for 5 or 6 years to make it 'better.' > Don't be alarmed when you find you both love _and_ hate AIX. Don't be alarmed when you find yourself throwing your AIX machine off the top of the building by way of quitting your job and moving to more humane employment. This from someone who was once sentenced to find a way programmatically to determine if an AIX machine was operating 'securely.' I'd already done it on 6 or 7 other variants of UNIX, mind you. The AIX version took twice as long as creating the software initially on Ultrix and SunOS did. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Both of them are quite cheap and seems to be quite fast. > > So, anybody, which one should I go for? Any recomendations? The 6x86 and K6 are *very* different processors. The 6x86 is essentially a souped-up 486, with Pentium-class speeds. In the 166 and 200 Mhz variants, it runs quite hot. Integer performance is near the claimed "Pentium rating," but floating point performance is quite a bit lower. I'm loathe to use the 6x86 because of the heat factor; most PCs already run too hot and yet make too much noise due to the inefficient layout of the case and various other stupidities that are a given in the PC world. The AMD K5 is a Pentium-class processor with good performance at low cost. I have several K5 FreeBSD machines here at home and at work, all of them are quite impressive. The K5/166, with slightly better performance than the Pentium 166 in most areas, is selling for about $95 around here. Quite a bargain. The AMD K6 has performance in line with the Pentium Pro/Pentium II range, and includes a version of the "MMX" instructions. While it has quite good performance, it is slightly more expensive than the Pentium Pro. The K6 also fits the Pentium-standard "socket 7." I haven't tried FreeBSD on a K6 yet, because I don't have $350 to spend on a processor (when I can buy a K5/166, motherboard, and 32 Mb RAM for the same amount!). So, if you're looking for a good performance bargain, I think the K5 will outperform the 6x86 for the money, up to about PR166. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

When I change into the release directory and issue "make release". the compilation will end me up with error code like: ***stop Error code 71 ***stop Error code 1 It seems that this make command cann't work in release directory. I tried "/sys/i386/boot directory's make command. It would not work either and the error message was same. I did succesfully compiled a new kernel. But I am wondering how to compile the boot.flp image. I looked the GENERIC file where there is an entry" options Visulconfig". And it's uncommented. But It seems the userconfig.c is not compiled into the kernel. I downloaded the release from Internet: ftp.cdrom.com. I got every thing full part except the package where there are huge number of stuff. 2. I also realized that your release has no "gateway" file in /etc, yet according Orelly's BSD 4.4 Book. There seems a such fle, for linux it's true. So I don't know how to configure the gateway under BSD. Please let me know. 3. Another problem I met now is that I am not sure how to configure the routed. I tried use one of my BSD to FTP the other BSD. The ping works but also said "no host in route table". The FTP is not successful, neither my Win95. Even Win95 can't ping the BSD out. I guess it's the wrong routed configureation I did caused the problem. One more thing that is I visited your web site. And from the BSD history page you talked about the legal battle between Novel and Berkely. I wonder if Novell win and how Berkely still isuued BSD4.4. Also I wonder if Berkely is still carrying on the research on their BSD. Since there are various parts of the OS is written by different people. How Novell can take all away? Matt Thank you for your responce.

First, how do you spell kernel when you type it at the boot prompt? It is spelled kernel and not kernal!!! Type /kernel.GENERIC at the boot prompt and it should work.

The newer 6x86Ls (low voltage version of the 6x86) are pretty much cool to the touch (feel the heatsink), so heat is no longer a problem.

Well, a couple of questions, that probably don't need to be answered after you read this. 1) What version of FreeBSD are you using? 2) Why are you trying to use the Linux version of Netscape? There is a BSD version, that runs just fine. (Though I wouldn't use the 4.0B5 version in production. It's a BIG PIG). Now, onto the answers. 1) Install the BSD netscape version. If it's not in packages, then you can get it from netscape, it's in the other subdirectory. I generally get the netscape.....bsd2..... file. 2) In order to run Star Office, (or Netscape for Linux) you need to install the linux compatibility package. It is documented quite well in the Handbook. Paul. -- I think that the team that wins game five will win the series.

Make sure that you have the Linux emulation installed. It is in the ports/packages. Edit /etc/rc.conf or /etc/sysconfig (depending on your version) and make sure there is a line saying linux=yes. Then reboot. You can also load the linux emulation on the fly, by typing at a prompt. The other way to go is to install the bsd version of netscape, which is on their site under the name netscape-unknown-bsd....... Good luck pierre PS.

Kevin, I can't answer your question, but I would like to point out that there are reasons why certain pieces of hardware don't have drivers for them. It's simply the fact that FreeBSD is a _volunteer_ effort. Outside of a _very_ few devices, drivers are created because someone volunteers to write and has the device in question. If a device isn't supported, it's usually because the _volunteers_ who write device drivers either 1) don't have the device in question, 2) someone who has the card can't/won't write one, 3) no one has loaned one to a driver writer, 4) the manufactuer refues to let technical data out unless you're M$ or Sun$oft, or finally 5) nobody has found the time to do it. By the by, the Micro$oft solution would be to get the manufacturer to let M$ have first scoop on information about the device...

Basically any Pentium motherboard, assuming it supports the clock settings and voltage supplies the K5 requires. Modern Pentiums are mostly 3.3v, while all of the K5s I've bought are 3.52v. Your safest bet is to only buy motherboards that have instructions for the K5 processor; I think the ASUS motherboards do. Most of the systems I've built use motherboards from "VTI", they are really quite good, and the prices are low. Their current "workstation" motherboard uses the Intel 430VX PCI chipset, has 512K of cache soldered to the motherboard, and goes for $74 at my supplier. An up-to-date version of this with support for the K6/233 (needs 2.8v supply) is $85. The ASUS motherboard you're looking for is probably the P55T2P4S; it's the same board as their general "workstation" T2P4 board with the SCSI system added. Their web page for this board: http://www.asus.com/products/specs/mb/P55T2P4S-spec.asp says "Rev 1.2 or later supports AMDŪ K5 PR75-166". I assume you're pretty safe on this one. > .....

I'd thought that > the K5 was equivalent to the 486... Many people on the questions list seem to confuse the K5 with 5x86 -- I've even seen references to 5k86 and K5x86, neither of which exist. The K5 is a great bargain for Pentium-class performance, and I'm a great lover of bargains.

I had recently blathered: % The AMD K6 has performance in line with the Pentium Pro/Pentium II % range, and includes a version of the "MMX" instructions. While it has % quite good performance, it is slightly more expensive than the Pentium % Pro. The K6 also fits the Pentium-standard "socket 7." I haven't > Hmmm....

Checking my processor-pusher, I see: AMD-K6-166MHz MMX / AMD-K6-200MHz / AMD-K6-233 (2.8V)....... 249/349/??? Pentium PRO 150/180/200MHz - Intel - 256KB Cache............. 174/338/494 So the K6/200 costs about the same as the PPro 180, and significantly less than the PPro 200.

FreeBSD is as secure as any other network server, and better than most due to the close scrutiny it has received in the last few years. If you don't want your mailbox users to login to the machine, turn off the remote login capabilities for them. You could simply install sendmail and a POP or IMAP server on the system, setup regular UNIX user accounts for each mail user, and disable network logins. Disable all the user accounts from login by setting their shell to "nologin". If you need access to the system over the network for administration, run telnetd on some weird (but still protected) port, say, 244. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

This implies compression is not reliable. I can't say much for UNIX backups, but in general I've never had hardware or software compression screw up worse than any other hardware/software combination. I believe in compression because it encourages backups by reducing the media needed, cutting both media cost and time spent swapping volumes. Less media per megabyte up also reduces the chances of an I/O error on media, so compressed backups can be more reliable than uncompressed. Like anything to do with backups, test and then test again. -ahd- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 18 18:12:24 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA23744 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 18 Jun 1997 18:12:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.apc.net ([207.211.19.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id SAA23727 for ; Wed, 18 Jun 1997 18:12:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [207.113.176.104] by mail.apc.net (NTMail 3.02.13) with ESMTP id ka627156 for ; Wed, 18 Jun 1997 17:49:30 -0700 Reply-To: "Ken Shimono" X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.0544.0 From: "Ken Shimono" To: Subject: FrontPage help Date: Wed, 18 Jun 1997 18:18:05 -0700 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE Engine V4.71.0544.0 Message-Id: <00493045446751@apc.net> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk FreeBSD 2.2.1 and Apache 1.2b7.

I looked in the fp_install perl script. I tracked down the error as being caused by the script running the following command (I printed it before running it): fpsrvadm.exe -o security -p www.frozentundra.com:80 -w www.frozentundra.com -u crevier -pw hhh -i *.*.*.* Quite honestly, I don't know what is expected by the -web option to the 'fp_install' command. The install instructions say something about a web name, but I have no idea what a web name is. I know my server root, my domain names, and pretty much everything else about the web site; I just don't know what a web name is. No matter what I try, I keep getting the exact same error message. 'Invalid character in web name "/usr/local/www/html": (0x2f).' I suspect that this error has something to do with the errors that follow it regarding no such file, but I don't know that for sure. The path given in the message is the path to the root directory of the main web site on this server. I figured out that the '0x2f' indicates that it does not like a slash character, however, I'm not sure. Again, the system and web server are running just fine. I just cannot get FP to install properly and I'd appreciate any assistance I could get. Thanks.

To build and use FreeBSD without the CD, go to this URL: http://www2.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html Strong recommendation -- read the instructions and follow the links from that page. You may want to read what is at those links and keep dropping back to the above page as you move around the site(s). You may also want to read more of the documentation before you start so that you are familiar with some of the options you will see during the installation phase. If you know UNIX, then most of this will be straightforward. If not, then read as much as you can. Download the installation boot image and the fdimage.exe files from the above page, and start the installation. After you make your choices from the menu selections all of the files needed to meet the specifications you state will be copied to your PC. This can take a while -- put on a pot of coffee or whatever and continue reading. I am not aware of any telephone support, but this mail list is an excellent place to learn about what you are going to do. You may want to just follow it for a while and continue reading the documentation for a few days before you begin -- it could save you a bit of time in the end. Also, check out the archives to learn about other things you may want to know. You have made a good choice for DNS (and several other things you can do). By the way, will you be running that as a server registered with the Internic, or some private or caching-only configuration? Just curious, so if you respond just send to me & not the list.

We have two FreeBSD 2.2.1 boxes, "hoth" (at a branch office) and "andrew" (at head office). Andrew has a Real Connection to the internet, and hoth doesn't, so they are connected with a dial-on-demand PPP modem link. The catch is that head office is on a different network to the branch office, and we cannot change the routers which feed head office, so we are using NAT (via the -alias option in user mode ppp) at hoth. We have a static route to the branch office IP range set up on andrew. This works for connections from hoth to andrew, but for some reason we can't get connections going the other way. To be more specific, we can ping any host on the branch office network from andrew, but we can't telnet or make any other connection. Is this a restriction of NAT or it's implementation? Or do we just have something misconfigured somewhere?

I still can't find answer about ftp (what is on its manpage tells about transfer between two third-party remote sites, if I understand correctly; I may be wrong though), but I should have thought about fetch myself, and fetch does support proxies, it seems.

Is there an updated fdisk that I can partition with so I can >partition it with that then skip the install's partition and go straight >to formatting it and so on (btw, will format recognize my entire gig)? I assume that you own a Maxtor drive, because you refer to the EZ-Drive software, which I know comes with Maxtors. I am also assuming that you are dedicating all of your drive to FreeBSD. When I installed FreeBSD on my "4.3gb" equipped P5-90MHz machine, I found that I did not need the EZ software. As I understand it, FreeBSD doesn't use the BIOS, so it is not limited by the same restrictions that DOS is. What happens if you just install BootEasy over the EZ software and attempt an install? I do know (or strongly believe) that my 1 month old 4.3 is EIDE, but I do not know if this is relevant. I know that the EZ software was whining about my BIOS only being able to address 528mb. My Drive geometry is: 8400-16-63-512b/s, and FreeBSD correctly diagnoses this as a 4134mb disk. The only place that I can see this failing is if I tried to install a partition beyond the first 504 mb, which would be 1024 cyl., at which point it would not be bootable. So if you want to install DOS too, you would have to make the DOS partition first, and not more than 500+-mb. Technically, I think that only the first 6k of the FreeBSD boot procedure need to be in the BIOS zone, but the whole kernel file might. If the kernel does, then just take 32mb off of the DOS partition for the FreeBSD "/" (root) partition, ensuring that the kernel file resides in the BIOS zone, regardless of where it is in the / partition. One more thing, notice how the installer says 528mb while DOS FDISK and I say 504? This is because the installer deceptively claims that one mb is 1,000,000 bytes, but the rest of the computer industry claims it is 1024*1024=1,048,576 bytes. By the time you get into the 4gb zone, they are decieving you to the tune of 161mb. It claims this in microscopic print on the underside of the box.

For example, the scsi controller that comes with the Zip drive uses a default i/o address that causes some motherboards to lockup their keyboards.

I ended up having to reboot the system to get it working again. netstat -nr looked normal. If / when it happens again I will try the other commands you have suggested. It seems like it happens when there is a heavy mail load on the system. I run the SmartList MLM for several mailing lists on here. By sick I mean it's more like it's getting a cold. The TCP/IP traffic starts getting congested and stops flowing. :-) The first time it happened I was out of town on a Boy Scout camping trip with my son. I ended up having to drive back home and mess around with it to get it back up and running again. The second time it happened I was logged into it and could see the gradual degredation happening. Eventually my telnet session dropped and I had to drive home and see what was happening as I could no longer telnet into it. I found the system running happily along with a load of 0. No data was going in or out. Ping gave the error I mentioned above. I was in a hurry to get it fixed so I just rebooted. Everything came up fine. I'm still puzzled by this one.

I will also point out that the PGP-enabled version of Mutt (in the ports collection) works very well, and if you read mail in Emacs, the Mailcrypt package adds good PGP support for most mail and news modes.

Almost any boot manager will do the trick.

It lets you choose the partition from which to boot. Something Like: ----- F1: Dos F2: BSD Default: F2 ----- (The default is always what you used last.)

(And I don't think it's possible to use the chroot prog as > non-root?!) I think, you have to write a very little C-program, and make it his login shell. In that program, chdir to some restricted directory, chroot to there, and exec his real shell. Of course, as there isn't a setuid script under FBSD, yes, you cannot do it from a shell script, as login exec'd the shell as the real uid of just-logged-in-user; so you cannot make it with a shell script with chroot.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ok, I have a machine with a few aliases (specifically five aliases, one primary ip). I want to know WHAT sendmail uses to decide is its real hostname? Its really starting to bug me, as I can't figure it out--and its not using the primary name. My system is aliased with the names: inet cold.org alias ice.cold.org alias surname.org alias solv.com alias gillespie.surname.org alias roguetrader.com Sendmail is setup with a directive: Fw-o /etc/sendmail/Hosts Where the Hosts file contains: cold.org ice.cold.org www.cold.org mail.cold.org adsolv.com www.adsolv.com mail.adsolv.com solv.com www.solv.com mail.solv.com surname.org www.surname.org mail.surname.org roguetrader.com Now, I'm thourougly confused, as sometimes when sendmail fires up it picks 'ice.cold.org' and sometimes it picks 'roguetrader.com'. In general this isn't a big deal, except for when I'm mailing to restricted lists that expect your address to stay the same--since its not I can't post often.

Oh, sure, men in the past have displayed certain unfortunate behavior petterns that tended to produce unhappy relationships, world wars, etc. But today's man is different.

There can be NO bad sectors on the floppy. boot.flp is NOT a dos file, but a disk image. You use the rawrite.exe program to put it on your floppy. (I think there is a new program to do this in 2.2.1 and later, as well, but it doesn't seem to work 100%, judging from the problems people seem to have with it). Always use binary FTP mode to download these files. At least at one time, a DOS command prompt under Win95 or NT would not work. It had to be real DOS, or a boot to DOS, not windows, on Win95.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Release for UWD Urchin™ Statistics Package. "Finally, a shareware statistics package that provides the information that you and your company need to know about who is visiting your site!" CONTACT: Brett Crosby (619)233-1400 ex. 7 e-mail: bc@uwd.com http://www.uwd.com SAN DIEGO, CA, June, 1997 -- UWD inc. unveils its long in-the-works Urchin statistics package for the SolarisŪ and IRIXŪ UNIX webserver community (WindowsŪ NT™ version to follow soon). The Urchin package, designed as a value-added service for webhosting companies to sell to their clients, takes a whole new approach to webserver statistics. Instead of the traditional ASCII graphs and raw data delivered in an e-mail format (characteristic of the freeware Analog package and its clones), Urchin creates easy-to-read weekly HTML reports with full color graphs and charts, and an e-mailed synopsis of activity. Additionally, it automatically creates monthly color PostScriptŪ reports that can be sent to webhosting customers along with their monthly bill. The information contained in the Urchin report is so interesting and easy to digest that webhosting customers will actually look forward to receiving their invoice! The PostScript analysis can be outputted to any PostScript capable printer, but a color laser printer is the most desirable option. Created to fill a long-standing industry void, the Urchin package will change not only the way webhosting organizations relay visitor information to their clients, but how websites market themselves and assess their resultant performance. "Did the advertisement work? Which search engine are people really using? How can we maximize action on our site?" Urchin answers these questions giving you the information you need to make critical business decisions. Urchin can be used in any Solaris or IRIX-based enterprise, but is intended as a value-added service for ISPs and webhosting companies to resell to their hosting clients. Urchin is a shareware application and carries an introductory price of $49 per installation (server). Urchin may be downloaded and assessed for 30 days at no charge by visiting www.uwd.com. Key Urchin features: •Monthly Activity Summary •Daily Summary •Monthly Trend Summary •Hourly Summary •Referrals (how did people get to the site?) •Pages Accessed •Hosts Summary •Domain Summary •Browsers •Platforms System Requirements: Sun Solaris or SGI IRIX Urchin requires minimal RAM and hard drive space (less than 2MBs). All versions include e-mail support and free updates. To find out more about or download the Urchin Statistics Package, please visit the UWD website at: http://www.uwd.com.

I can get it to work by dialing my ISP with the 'term' gateway. Yes I have checked my 'chat' script. Yes I have checked '/etc/ppp/*.conf' One other interesting problem is that once I have a good ppp session started (by hand) when I use the 'shell' gateway, the ppp link stops! Exiting the 'shell' gateway resumes the connection. Examination of the /var/tmp/ppp.log file shows that the thing knows how to dial, and can login successfully. It also enters packet mode and LCP undergoes two transitions: dail OK! login OK! LCP: state change Initial --> Closed LCP: state change Closed --> Stopped Then all is quiet. Nothing happens. What I do see whan I dial my ISP by hand is: LCP: state change Initial --> Closed LCP: state change Closed --> Stopped LCP: Received Configure Request (2) state = Stopped (3) ...(and a lot more proto config stuff) I have tried this on FreeBSD 2.2.1 and FreeBSD 2.1.0.

What you could do, of course, is dump / to the non-rewinding tape device, then dump /usr to the same and then dump /var. Since the tape will not rewind at the end of each dump, you keep on adding to the end of the last dump (think about how to record 4 seperate 30min cartoons on one 2hr VCR tape... :) ) Cheers! -- ==================================================================== Jim Jagielski | jaguNET Access Services jim@jaguNET.com | http://www.jaguNET.com/ "Look at me!

The only catch if I remember correctly is that it is a "limit 2" offer unless they have now removed that restriction.

Yes, it has the System 5 IPC mechanisms, and no it does not have STREAMS. You can configure your kernel to support the IPC mechanisms using configuration options found in the "LINT" sample configuration file.

I would like a user program to fopen /dev/vs2 (or some such) and have this 'virtual' device behave like a real serial port (eg. /dev/cua1). When the terminal server boots it can open a permanent telnet session to the bsd box on port xxxx. Does bsd have anything that maps the incoming session on port xxxx into a device that users can open ? If for argument sake the terminal server telnets to port 2001 for it's line 1, and 2002 for line 2, then /dev/vs1 must always map to 2001 and /dev/vs2 must map to 2002 etc etc This is somewhat different to the normal ISP situation where dialins on the terminal server might auto telnet to port 23 on the bsd box and are given a login session on the next available /dev/ttypx. My outgoing connections must be certain about which device maps to what terminal server line !!! DEC used to do this sort of thing very well under Ultrix or VMS with a protocol called LAT. I'm hoping for a simple unix world solution.

But I cannot get through with Lynx, Chimera, Gopher, Arena, ftp, Fetchmail, or Pine. When I run tcpdump -i tun0--as Richard Neswold suggested, for which, my thanks--I get the message "udp port domain unreachable". I take it that this means that my transport layer is not talking with my application layer (I am looking in Nemeth, Snyder, Seebass, & Hein, the red book)....But what can I do about it? I am eager to spend more time in FreeBSD!!! (I am in Linux right now....) TIA!!

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have the latest innd port installed on a brand new 2.2.2 box we're going to run a news server on. When I run rc.news, it's supposed to read in some environment variables from /usr/local/news/lib/innshellvars. It apparently does this succesfully, as I've put some echo commands in various places in the script to track its progress. Everything seems okay to this point.. but then things start getting strange. I have a separate HD for the history file, which is mounted as /news, and then a concatenated 4 disk array for the spool mounted on /news/spool. I made changes to the shellvar file to replace these new locations for various files instead of the defaults, yet innd ignores these changes and writes the files in their default locations anyway. Additional evidence: there's a typo in the innshellvar file that starts innd as /usr/local//etc/innd (you can observe this in a process listing).. When I remove one of the /'s between local and etc and try to start rc.news again, it STILL has the double /'s. I've tried applying the updates to the .csh, .pl and .tcl var files as well, just in case it was reading from them, but no luck. I've read thru the rc.news, and paths are proper.. this is just completely baffled everyone who's looked at it so far. Has anyone else encountered a problem like this or aware of how to fix it? -- Dan Roberts, http://gwis.com/~droberts Gateway to Internet Services sysadmin/ircadmin, barovia.oh.us.dal.net for Internet access in NE Ohio http://barovia.dal.net - Strahd on DALnet http://www.gwis.com From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 19 21:38:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA10261 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 19 Jun 1997 21:38:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail-gw.pacbell.net (mail-gw.pacbell.net [206.13.28.25]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA10256 for ; Thu, 19 Jun 1997 21:38:57 -0700 (PDT) From: benonie@pacbell.net Received: from laptmm (ppp-207-104-158-30.wnck11.pacbell.net [207.104.158.30]) by mail-gw.pacbell.net (8.8.5/8.7.1) with SMTP id VAA14390 for ; Thu, 19 Jun 1997 21:37:34 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <33AA0A92.4E51@pacbell.net> Date: Thu, 19 Jun 1997 21:44:02 -0700 X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02E (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: what to get X-URL: http://www.freebsd.org/mailto.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was wondering what exactly I needed to download to get the full release with all networking capabilities.

Sorry about that, but I don't know of a more appropriate group to send this to. I've just replaced my aging Panasonic printer with a new HP LaserJet 6MP, which includes PostScript. It's certainly a great improvement, but the documentation isn't. I've searched the HP web site and come up with nothing obvious. What I'm looking for is documentation that tells me: 1. How to upgrade the configuration on the machine to always interpret \n to return to the beginning of the line (i.e. no 'step effect')? 2. The commands that this particular printer understands. I hope I'll be able to find something on the Web.

After `make world' you are supposed to merge new files in /usr/src/etc with your files in /etc -- manually.

I'm not quite sure whether I understand what happened. From your description, it seems as though: o You downloaded the bin distribution to some working directory. o You ran setup, and all the files in your working directory were truncated to zero-length. o You tried to download all the files again, but (even before you ran setup) the files were still all zero-length. If you can go into a bit more detail (like what directory you are downloading the files into), I'm sure we can get this sorted out. There are actually a lot of different ways to install FreeBSD. So, if setup isn't working for you, you could alternatively use a different approach (like having the sysinstall program download the files for you). -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 20 02:49:24 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA24335 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Jun 1997 02:49:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from florence.pavilion.net (mailrelay1.pavilion.net [194.242.128.25]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA24315; Fri, 20 Jun 1997 02:49:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from joe@localhost) by florence.pavilion.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA28868; Fri, 20 Jun 1997 10:48:29 +0100 (BST) Message-ID: <19970620104829.34842@pavilion.net> Date: Fri, 20 Jun 1997 10:48:29 +0100 From: Josef Karthauser To: questions@freebsd.org, hackers@freebsd.org Cc: isp@freebsd.org Subject: Apache 1.1.3 and 1.2.0 problems under FBSD2.2.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.74 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The continuing saga of a sick web machine :( A brief history. We're running a P200pro FBSD2.2.2 machine here as a virtual web server. It currently has 130ish web servers running, each with their own IP address. Where did the problem start? I'm not sure, but it was some combination of reaching 124ish web servers, and hitting a certain number of active http connections. The web server is basically fine, until some limit gets reached and the server then just hangs, with lots of sockets still active. I've tried unlimiting the shell entirely, that we run the httpd from. I've tried adding an entry for the web user to /etc/login.conf: web:\ :path=/usr/local/news/bin /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin:\ :cputime=infinity:\ :filesize=128M:\ :datasize-curr=64M:\ :stacksize-cur=32M:\ :coredumpsize-cur=0:\ :maxmemorysize-cur=128M:\ :memorylocked=32M:\ :maxproc=1000:\ :maxproc-cur=1000:\ :openfiles=2000:\ :openfiles-cur=2000:\ :tc=default: This has been bound to the web user in the password file: webboss:*:1011:1011:web:0:0:Web Boss:/nonexistent:/bin/false This still didn't solve the problem. (We'd find loads of sockets in FIN_WAIT_2 when the process hung.) Next stage was to recompile the kernel to raise SOMAXCONN. Here's a fragment from our config file: ----------------------------- machine "i386" cpu "I386_CPU" cpu "I486_CPU" cpu "I586_CPU" cpu "I686_CPU" ident PAVILION maxusers 256 # joe/pavilion/19970529: Our machines have 96Mb of memory options "MAXMEM=96*1024" # joe/pavilion/19970619: jungled the maximum number of connections options SOMAXCONN=1024 options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem ----------------------------- When I arrived this morning the web server had hung again. Looking at netstat it appears to be better, in as much as there are no FIN_WAIT2's. The whole netstat is included below. The apache that we're running at the moment is 1.1.3. I've tried running 1.2.0 under the above conditions, but it wont start with more than 124 virtual hosts defined. It just complains that it can't look up the name of the main server. It sounds like it's hit a file descriptor limit, but I know that this isn't the case because: dougal# unlimit dougal# limit cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize 131072 kbytes stacksize 65536 kbytes coredumpsize unlimited memoryuse unlimited memorylocked unlimited maxproc 4115 openfiles 8232 Fun and games or what!!

I can't even get it to work through an XTerm, but I have cons25 as a specified environment variable... I too passed on my termcap entries for cons25 and nothing changed. :( -- SCSI is *not* magic.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi.. I am trying to get the second hard drive installed on my FreeBSD (2.2.1) system. I have run /stand/sysinstall I chose custom, I selected entire disk (wd1) I labeled wd1s1e /usr2 wd1s1f /usr3 wd1s1g /usr4 wd1s1h /usr5 I then chose write. I am able to see the mount points (I think) in that they are named /usr2 /usr3 /usr4 /usr5 as directories in my / directory. Now when I do a df I still get this: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 148703 13282 123525 10% / /dev/wd0s1f 2299294 326317 1789034 15% /usr /dev/wd0s1e 992751 718 912613 0% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc Am I missing a step in here that does not allow me to see the drive with the df command?

I keep seeing silo errors on sio0 when running at 115200. The UART is a 16550 A (or rather, the port is on board with an 16550 inside one of those little ASICs), and the problem occurs mainly when performing tasks of any kind, especially when changing virtual consoles from and to the X Server. If I simply sit and watch I sometimes get siloes every two to five seconds, sometimes i'm also entirely spared. The system is 2.1.7-stable, and my modem is an ELSA Microlink 33.6TQV. I'd be grateful for hints of any kind, because it sometimes nukes my TCPIP transfers.

No, it must be changed with a kernel option. It determines the amount of virtual address space that is available to allocate mbuf clusters. Add: options "NMBCLUSTERS=8000" To your kernel config file. You can monitor the peak by looking at 'netstat -m'...for instance: [wcarchive:davidg] netstat -m 17687 mbufs in use: 14705 mbufs allocated to data 2968 mbufs allocated to packet headers 11 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks 3 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses this-> 13089/18678 mbuf clusters in use 39566 Kbytes allocated to network (-34% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines The line marked above is current/peak.

You are running out of file descriptors. Just because you change the ulimit does _NOT_ mean you can actually use all of them. You are probably running into the FD_SETSIZE limit, which limits (among other things) the number of fds that select() can handle. It is still 255. Under 2.2, I think you should be able to just redefine FD_SETSIZE before compiling Apache to increase that. The reason that 1.1 works and 1.2 doesn't is probably because file descriptors are allocated in a different order in 1.2 for various reasons. You don't make it entirely clear, but I am assuming that just Apache is hanging, not the whole machine. -- Marc Slemko | Apache team member marcs@znep.com | marc@apache.org From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 20 07:52:41 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id HAA06505 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Jun 1997 07:52:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from eeyore.lv-hrc.nevada.edu (eeyore.lv-hrc.nevada.edu [131.216.27.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id HAA06500 for ; Fri, 20 Jun 1997 07:52:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from scooby.lv-hrc.nevada.edu (scooby.lv-hrc.nevada.edu [131.216.27.8]) by eeyore.lv-hrc.nevada.edu (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id IAA16637; Fri, 20 Jun 1997 08:07:57 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <33AA993A.BC7961CE@hrc.nevada.edu> Date: Fri, 20 Jun 1997 07:52:42 -0700 From: Harry Reed Organization: UNLV/HRC X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.0 [en] (Win95; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Ron Echeverri CC: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: bizarre tcsh behavior X-Priority: 3 (Normal) References: <199706200326.UAA12247@bofh.noc.best.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ron Echeverri wrote: > in tcsh 6.07.02: > > > ls > abba Beta crack Crack > > echo [A-D]* > abba Beta crack Crack > > echo [A]* > echo: No match. > > echo [A-B]* > abba Beta > > echo [B]* > Beta > > echo [B-D]* > Beta crack Crack > > echo [B-C]* > Beta Crack > > I don't see this in either csh or sh, where i get what i expect to > see.

This is probably network-related and usually shows up when something is being done using the network (like NFS). The way to get around this would be to change the value of NMBCLUSTERS in your config file. NMBCLUSTERS is set at 256 by default, and increased to 512 when the GATEWAY option is active. To be very safe, you could add options NMBCLUSTERS=1024 to your config file, and recompile. This is reported to work with systems that crashed as soon as a large number of people (75+) were connected to it. I found this clip in Dave Burgesses' NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD FAQ. Although for some strange reason I can't find where you can get it, but it shows up regularly on the BSD news groups and I believe I got it from FreeBSD-announce. -- =| Regards, =| FreeBSD ==> http://www.FreeBSD.org =| Kevin G.

The binaries usually also include source code which you could tweak if necessary. 2) If you really want the full source code, download /kermit/archives/ckuker.tar.gz That's the full unix source code to Kermit 6.0 for Unix.

If you could give some insight into the problem it would be greatly appreciated.

This question has no business being posted in a FreeBSD mailing list. It is a modem question and the answer is in your modem manual. But since we both are wasting bandwidth, here's your answer: Instead of dialing out with the "ATDT" command, change it to "ATDP".

It might be possible, but in FreeBSD a ``port'' consists of shell scripts, patch files and make files to make building and installating as easy as possible for *BSD platforms. It does not include the original source. So its not a good idea to use a port to install some freeware on Windows NT. It might be easier to use the original tarball as a starting point. The URL for this is ftp://ftp.uni-koeln.de/util/mkmf.tar.gz (found in the makefile of the port. > I cannot find the bsd.ports.mk file anywhere. On the Web Page, you > said that it is in /usr/share/mk, but the /share directory does not exist. > Would you please help me out? Thanks! The bsd.ports.mk won't help you much either, they are really meant for *BSD. The location in the web page refers to an installed FreeBSD system, not to the ftp subtree.

(P.S. it works on local connections) The only way this can be made to work is by making the alias code understand how to accept incoming ident connections and direct them to the appropriate (unaliased) IP:port (AFAIR, the ident stuff passes a port number and expects a user name back ?).

The computer starts up, does the RAM check, prints the CMOS settings, then prints a couple other messages standard to a functional boot (Cache type.. EDO in DRAM..). Afterwards, it reads from the floppy drive, but then freezes. The computer isn't locked up, as cntrl+alt+del still works, but it stays frozen indefinetely. The system is an Intel Pent 200 (generic assembly, not Dell, Gateway, etc). Suggested solutions that have failed: 1) Using DOS rawrite as well as Linux dd 2) Using a different floppy disk 3) Downloading boot.flp from the ftp site (I've tried both the stardard release 2.2.1 and the one in the newer/ dir) I just tried the boot floppy on a Cyrix 686 150, and it boots fine.

Well I have been torn between linux and freebsd and someone suggested that I try freebsd. Well I had some questions and I thought of asking them. Well my machine is a toshiba tecra 720cdt with a P133 and 16 megs of edo ram with approx 132 mb free on my HD. Well I am currently running win95 and I am abit jittery about installing unix but i am not a fan either of win95. I am really scared of partitioning my HD in fear of losing all my software and data. I am also quite curious about the win95-freebsd co-exsistance. How do they co-exsist? Will I be able to run some/most of my win95 programs on freebsd? What about the shut down of the machine which win95 does for me automatically how does freebsd do that? Does it support advanced power management? Well kindly answer these questions please!!

Specifically for NMBCLUSTERS, this is the limit on the number of mbuf clusters that the kernel will be able to allocate. You can see the number of currently used mbuf clusters and the peak since the last reboot in the output of netstat -m. By default, this value is calculated from maxusers. However, busy machines that do a lot of networking (very busy www or NFS servers) need higher values. For a full description of what mbuf clusters are and how they're used, you'll have to refer to a book on BSD internals (such as "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System).

I found an entry for 'at' that was close to '386at-m' in the BSD termcap. I then merely added the 'at' name to that entry (eg. at|386at-m|...) and set TERM to 'at' from that point on everything seemed to work fine when telneting in.

I have applied this patch (it took some adjusting for this particular card, but very minor), and at the boot time system reports about initielising all of the logical devices, but... that's about all it does (no sound at all). Any suggestions (except for using OSS)? Thanks in advance.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Another option is this little blurb I found in the 2.2.2 Release notes (not on the website, but included in the relnotes on the ftp server). I haven't tried this yet, but I just don't trust wu all that much, and this seems like it has better documentation. ftpd now supports virtual FTP hosting. And from the ftpd manpage: -a When -D is specified, accept connections only on the specified address. -D With this option set, ftpd will detach and become a daemon, ac- cepting connections on the FTP port and forking children proce- sses to handle them. This is lower overhead than starting ftpd from inetd(8) and is thus useful on busy servers to reduce load. ... 5. If the user name appears in the file /etc/ftpchroot, or the user is a member of a group with a group entry in this file, i.e. one prefixed with `@', the session's root will be changed to the user's login directory by chroot(2) as for an ``anonymous'' or ``ftp'' account (see next item). This facility may also be triggered by enabling the boolean "ftp-chroot" capability in login.conf(5). However, the user must still supply a password. ... If the system has multiple IP addresses, ftpd supports the idea of virtual hosts, which provides the ability to define multiple anonymous ftp areas, each one allocated to a different internet address. The file /etc/ftphosts contains information pertaining to each of the virtual hosts. ... If compiled with the INTERNAL_LS option, ftpd will have internal support for handling remote requests to list files, and will not execute /bin/ls in either a chrooted or non-chrooted environment.

Should I be afraid of it? There isn't actually any requirement that a DOS FS root directory should be a multiple of cluster size. The warning is a relic from pre-FreeBSD 2.2 days, and was *once* useful because (in testing for something that didn't matter) it coincidentally broke at just the right point. A standard DOS hard disk root directory has 512 x 32 byte entries, and is therefore 16K in size. FreeBSD releases prior to 2.2 had a problem dealing with FSes with a block size exceeding 16K. (However, this problem had nothing to do with the msdosfs, directly, or the condition being tested for.) Since 16K is not, according to the logic used, a multiple of any power of 2 exceeding 16K, the warning would appear whenever a DOS FS with an effective block size exceeding 16K was mounted. Taken as advance notice that the VFS layer was about to chew any mounted FS into tiny pieces, courtesy of the mounted DOS partition, the warning was therefore useful. And, at the same time, nonsensical. The warning can be ignored unless you are running 2.1 (or a prior release) on a DOS FS with a cluster size exceeding 16K. In your case, your floppy may either be in a (prefectly acceptable) "non-standard" format, or the floppy boot sector may be corrupt. If the contents lists correctly, it is almost certainly just a non-standard format. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 21 12:19:25 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA14971 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 21 Jun 1997 12:19:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tpts5.seed.net.tw (tpts5.seed.net.tw [139.175.12.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA14966 for ; Sat, 21 Jun 1997 12:19:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ppt12797 (n49-33.dialup.seed.net.tw [139.175.49.33]) by tpts5.seed.net.tw (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id DAA10839 for ; Sun, 22 Jun 1997 03:15:51 +0800 (CST) Message-ID: <33AC287F.1D36@tpts5.seed.net.tw> Date: Sun, 22 Jun 1997 03:16:15 +0800 From: Gordon Wang Reply-To: guelph@tpts5.seed.net.tw X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: (no subject) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Sir Could you tell me where the files rgb.txt and system.twmrc are located in FreeBSD 2.2.1 OS ?

Just a couple of things. Its queer that another machine can read the floppy and yours doesn't even start to, not even the boot block. Did you do all the floppy work from real dos, not w95 or w31 dos prompt? Did you use the batch file, called I think, makeflp.bat, that does a format /u on the floppy first? Is your floppy drive a standard 3.5" 1.44mb or one of the new L120's? Will your machine read a dos boot floppy? I don't know, any other questions guys?

Tweten" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a small problem after a generally uneventful FreeBSD 2.2.2 installation on my NEC 6030X. The CD arrived in the mail yesterday, so last night, the project began. NEC's Versa series, one of which is the 6030X, has a little drawer in the front of the laptop, into which you can insert a floppy drive or a CD drive or a carriage to hold a second hard disk (the internal one is modular and easily removable), or a second battery. With the CD drawer installed, the FreeBSD 2.2.2 install disk booted perfectly. Installation onto my dedicated (ie, no fdisk table) FreeBSD disk went very smoothly. I bought a second hard disk to avoid NEC's unenlightened attitudes toward Windows95 sharing space with another OS (as documented previously on these lists). Besides, I think I can find a way productively to use 1.4 gig just for FreeBSD and XFree86. So why do I write? A possible reason the CD booted so cooperatively is it seems installation of the CD causes the hard disk to become /dev/wd1, while the CD acts as /dev/wd0. That gives me two choices. I always leave the CD drawer in -- and always boot from the CD, or I can boot the first time into single user mode, change /etc/fstab to refer to /dev/wd0 instead of /dev/wd1 and never install the CD drawer again under FreeBSD. Other strategies produce a panic, immediately after the kernel gets through probing devices. The cause is inability to mount the root partition (because /etc/fstab points to the "wrong" device). For the moment, I haven't been able to come up with a good idea of how best to detect the CD drawer in /etc/rc before it gets to "swapon -a." If I could, that would let me use one version of /etc/fstab with the CD drawer and another without. Changing drawers will always require a reboot; a small label on the bottom of the machine says that power must be off to change "Versa Bay" devices. Anybody have any good ideas? -- David E.

Then get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c and replace the malloc.c in the 2.2.2 libc. Compile and install. As always, it is a good idea to make a backup copy of your existing libc before installing the new one. A quicker workaround (but not a real solution) is to link the affected programs (knews and xperfmon++ are known victims so far) with gnumalloc. Just add `-L/usr/lib/compat -lgnumalloc' to the Makefile where the program is linked. -john From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 21 20:03:03 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA03348 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 21 Jun 1997 20:03:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from andrsn.stanford.edu (root@andrsn.Stanford.EDU [36.33.0.163]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA03342; Sat, 21 Jun 1997 20:03:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (andrsn@localhost.Stanford.EDU [127.0.0.1]) by andrsn.stanford.edu (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA15578; Sat, 21 Jun 1997 20:02:59 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sat, 21 Jun 1997 20:02:59 -0700 (PDT) From: Annelise Anderson To: Greg Lehey cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: Documentation on HP Laserjet 6MP?

I don't know if it's possible to reset a Laserjet VI permanently-- I send my Laserjet IV an E to reset the printer and an &k3G to convert unix line endings to carriage return-line feed. The here is a real 027, entered with Ctrl-V in vi. > 2. The commands that this particular printer understands. HP seems to be sending out less and less documentation; they want you to buy the Technical Reference Manual. The last tech-ref manual I have is for a III, but my Laserjet IV user's manual has a list of PCL codes etc. While HP adds to these, I don't believe they change from printer to printer. And there are a lot of them. I will attach to this the vi .exrc file I use (not fully tested, by the way); it includes the codes I find useful to insert directly into documents done with a text editor, such as printer reset, line-ending conversion, left margin, bold, italic, underline, portrait, landscape, and a few others. The assumption is that software programs take care of sending the appropriate codes to the printer most of the time. It also includes the font codes for the 45 or so internal fonts for the Laserjet IV. Later Laserjets have more internal fonts. As you will see I haven't finished making up some reasonable abbreviations for these font codes. On most Laserjets (at least IIs, IIIs, and IVs) you can get a printout of the internal fonts along with their codes (and the codes for different symbol sets) by pressing some buttons on the printer's panel. I have a couple of awk scripts that know how to handle PCL code in a text file--they adjust characters per line as a function of the size and average width of the font used, paginate, do footnotes, and a few other things. If you would like a copy of these let me know.

Suggestions that people who may be downloading the handbook to a dos/Win system use a simple sed command to get rid of the backspaces or whatever are, it seems to me, greatly misplaced. They are also inappropriate for people new to unix, and this may well be a major category of people who download the handbook. There are also reports that people who ask for a plain text, or ascii, version of the handbook are told they are jerks who don't understand latin1 etc.etc.etc. I think anyone who thinks the handbook is available in plain text hasn't tried to download it. But then, maybe I just don't get it. Now here we have a nice offer from someone who will convert a troff version to plain text. How about taking him up on it?

I installed the Perl5 package (Perl v5.003) after installing the FreeBSD v2.2.2 distribution. I assumed that the Perl5 package installation would replace the Perl4 binary in /usr/bin. It did not, and this leads me to the following questions; Should a symlink be put in place of the Perl4 binary in /usr/bin? Are there perl4 resources that are installed with the base distribution that should be removed? That fact that the Perl5 package did not overwrite the perl4 binary implies that perl4 should not be tampered with. I am familiar enough with Perl to know that Perl5 is backwardly compatible, but this is not perfect. Are there perl4 dependent scripts present on the system that would cause me to want to preserve perl4? Thanks for helping a neophyte FreeBSD hack.

I've had several problems, but I'm getting stuck on one nasty problem. First, here what I did to get it working: 1. tried zp0 in kernel by itself without crd0, and that didn't work at all. I just get errors about it can't find zp0 at 0x240. 2. added an ep0 to my kernel and enabled crd0 and the pcic0 and pcic1 devices so that it can be enabled later by the pccard daemon 3. modified the rc.conf to set the correct ifconfig options for ep0 when the card is dynamically loaded pccardd 4. fixed pccard_ether to load rc.conf instead of the outdated sysconfig file. 5. configured rc.conf both with and without routers in order to try to figure out problems. The problem I'm seeing is that it packets leaving the laptop get lost (i.e. ping looses all packets it sends) and if the laptop is pinging, then no other machine on the net can ping the laptop. Other machines on my net can ping the laptop, but the response is VERY slow, every other packet seems to take at least 1500ms, and the in betwen "fast" packets are at least 100ms. Other machines on my net see an average of 1 to 2 ms per packet on ping. I'm not sure what else to try, it looks like the networking is misconfigured in some way, but I can't figure out how. ifconfig and netstat report similar data on the laptop to other machines on my net that are working fine, so I'm at a lose for an explaination.. If anyone can help, I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks in advance if you do!

John Fieber has posted an html version broken into chapters (so there aren't too many of them--20 some, I think) at http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber/hb1/BOOK-0001.html and I got a couple of chapters I wanted--kernel configuration and printing--and printed them from Netscape, and they look great. This preserves the formatting. I wish he's combine some of the shorter chapters so there are only 5 or 6 blocks to download and print....and thus a minimum of "next" and "previous" garbage. Oh well.
