For the ethernet card you have two choices depending on the
card.  If the card has jumpers your solution is obvious, if
not you may have a DOS program that sets the PROM via
software (my intel is that way).

First off, I personally have two intel cards..one ISA..and
one PCI..guess which one works <grin>..the ISA..second,
though they are both plug-n-play settable, I have some DOS
based software that I can run and reconfigure the card to
disable plug-n-play features to allow use under FreeBSD. 
Check to see if you have/can get this.

I cannot connect to my ISP. It doesn't even dial. I set up ppp.conf
ppp.linkup host.conf hosts and resolv.conf as the document says, but it
doesn't work. I typed "ppp", and load setting, then typed dial, then it
always says "dial failed", and nothing else.

Please help

Hello All,

I would like to purchase the abovementioned book. However I'm unsure of 
the latest edition currently available. As far as I'm concern the latest 
is Edition 2 (from FreeBSD Mall/Cheapbytes). Is this correct?


Here are some of my questions:

1) If the "Edition 3" is coming how long would it be in the              
market then? 
2) What is the gap of publishing Edition 2 to Edition 3?
3) If I order the "Next Edition" from FreeBSD Mall ($39.95) how 
   long do I have to wait?
4) FYI am using FreeBSD 2.2.8 Official Release. Will these book          
covers the version (and above 3.0) I'm using now?

Hope you could provide me with some answers/assistance.
Thank you in advance.

Regards

Well, I suppose for those file systems it's the same.  But we only use
them for Microsoft compatibility.

It's dependent on the block size, though.  If you have a file system
with lots of small files, you can save by allocating 4 kB blocks and
512 byte frags.

I'm pretty sure that most COBOL compilers wouldn't like the line break
in the middle there, and of course it's PIC, not PIX.

I think you missed the point.  The maximum wastage would be a
fragment, which is either 512 or 1024 bytes.  FreeBSD doesn't have a
direct equivalent to a FAT cluster.

Hello, there,
     Thank you for your reply. Thing is like that:
I am a fresher. This is my first time of installing FreeBSD for my 
research, although I have some experience on Linux.
I meet that problem when I install the FreeBSD 3.0. After I choose 
installing FreeBSD from Dos partition and it seems two files have been 
installed, the problem has happened. This is one of my problem. To 
avoid unexpected troubles, I only choose "minimal installation". 
Of course, when my PC restarts, it reports there is no kenel.
Before I install FreeBSD, I have installed Windows 98 in my harddisk.
      Another difficulty for me is: I would very much like to install 
FreeBSD via internet.
      My computer has been connected with Internet with cable.
My Network card is "AMD PCnet/PCI Ethernet adapter". I am sorry that it 
seems I can not find an appropriate option in "Network", although, from 
the prompt information, it seems the system can find it is in pci0 
named lnc1. Perhaps, just because of the above problem, when I want to 
install it by "FTP", there is not "Etherenet .."option in the list. In 
the list, there are only LPT and COMs. If possible, I really hope I can 
install FreeBSD from Internet.
      In addition, I also hope FreeBSD can support Multimedia. My sound 
card is AWE64 Soundblast (creative, ISA). It seems that the FreeBSD can 
not find it. However, it is a small problem. I can consult with you 
later. 
       My Computer is Pentium II 266, AGP video card, Fireball 6.4G 
hard disk.
       I really hope your further replies.

       Thanks,

       Sun Kai

I am using userland ppp and sometime I cannot get the modem to force
a disconnect.  I have tried doing a 'close' and/or 'down' but ofter, after
the other modem has disconnected, mine insists on screaming down the line
for up to two minutes it seems.

I have tried cat'ing directly to the device and also going into term mode, but
the modem does not ack back when I give it commands.

I am using a USR 56 Flex PNP, if that makes a difference.

What is the difference between 'down' and 'close'?

My ISP uses Portmaster systems and under FreeBSD (tried with MS NT, but all
is fine), I am getting very strange behavior.  I would normally pass these
off as line noise or something else, but I have had the telco check my line
for noise twice from the station and once in my building.

First, the connection always takes longer.  After going through the
familiar noises, it sound like it has to go through them again, then
it takes about 15 seconds for a link to be established (as opposed to
about 3 for NT).

Second, I get very bursty throughput.  When I ping, I get nothing, then I
will get about 10 packets quickly, then nothing, then another 10.  Again,
this does not occur in NT and I have been on the line with my ISP at the
time this happens and they are telling me that they do not see any problems
and that others seems to be working fine (they even setup a special account
for me to test this behavior).

Third, I get frequent and sudden drops (my line, I have mutted my phone and
listened to the line and all of the sudden my modem just drops).

I checked through the GNATS system, but didn't find anything useful.

Has anybody else had problems or know what further information I can
provide or what I can do?

Binary files are not portable without some sort of emulation. For windows
binaries there is an emulation package called "wine". This software is for
developers only. You can use wine to run windows programs.

If you have windows software source code you may be able to port that
software into a binary native BSD program.

What you forget to mention is what parameters ye are feeding shutdown.

`shutdown' normally is for going to single user mode, after that one has to
do a `reboot' to ensure proper shutdown of the OS.

from man shutdown(2): A terminate signal is then sent to init(8) to bring
the system down to single-user state (depending on above options).

AFAIK not yet.

I know =)

I have been talking to Michael O'Bleu about the whole matter of the
licensing regarding free software projects like this and everything looked
pretty positive.

.dll's are dynamic loadable libraries, the same as the /usr/local/lib and
other relevant directories file entries.

Most of the '95 source has to be rewritten especially where it concerns
using the GUI.

I think this may be one of those rare  ;-)  occasions where having more 
filesystems could be justified.

I have lots of small (~1000 to ~1800 byte) files in a webserver system. 
Following Greg's instructions, I rebuilt the system to have 512 byte 
fragments, and more inodes (as there weren't enough with default newfs 
setting). However, I restricted this to a special filesystem /usr/www, 
partly because the modified settings are less efficient for larger 
files, and also to allow mounting this file system async and noatime. 
The "async" *greatly* improves speed of file deletion/creation from tar 
archives. I'll try soft updates when I move to 3.x .

BTW, the site owner presently generates these files on a Windows system. 
Until he switched to a third-party partitioning program, it was 
impossible to fit more than a few hundred MB of these files in 6GB of 
disk!


Another thought about having multiple filesystems. If you had a certain 
class of files (say in /usr/www) that were heavily used, would it not be 
more efficient to have a dedicated filesystem slightly larger than 
necessary to fit the files? This would confine head movements for 
accessing these files to a smaller range of cylinders. With a single 
large file system on the disk, and frequent file modification, I assume 
eventually the files would end up scattered over a much wider range of 
cylinders, at least if the disk was fairly full.


A question in this regard. If I do ls -li on a new filesystem, I notice 
files and directories at the file system root are widely spaced in inode 
number, even when the disk is relatively empty. Doesn't this mean more 
head movement than might otherwise be achieved?

Hi,

The new Mac OSX Server is based on BSD ( Free?). I read that Linux is the most popular Unix, but
that BSD is the best Unix.
Can anyone tell me more about the relationship?


Thanks,

Calvin Bowen

Hi, all!
I tryed to configure my X-Windows system.
Then I run `xdm -nodaemon` and try login, but I can`t :(
I get in my .xsession-errors :
	Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
	Xlib: invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
	/usr/X11R6/bin/twm: unable to open display ":0"

How can I fix it?

Hi,

	I normally use 'shutdown -h now', or 'shutdown -r now', when I
want to boot in to Linux.  It is with these commands that the sync
refuses to occur. It works on the generic kernel, but not with the one I
compiled. Thanks anyway.

But do ye bother to do a reboot command after it has booted to single user
mode? Or do ye just powercycle it?

Hmmm.... Doesn't FreeBSD get into trouble if you start deviating from the
default 8k/1k for filesystems? (i.e. newfs -b 8192 -f 1024)

I know it caused problems a while ago - I also know someone called it 'a bad
thing' (at the time) - I'm not sure of the overall outcome though... If it's
an 'OK thing' now, that would be quite handy for some of my filesystems as
well...

It's worked fine for me so far. The server with the modified filesystem has not 
yet gone into production, but it hasn't missed a beat. I can't say I've 
stressed the modified filesystem a lot, except for repeatedly tarring, 
untarring and deleting ~700,000 ~1.5k files, which occupy a 3-tier directory 
structure (for reasons of filesystem efficiency). I've tried various 
combinations of

-f 512/1024/2048
-b 8*frag size
-i 1024/2048/4096

I've also created/processed a number of large (up to ~1GB) files, using 
utilities like cat, grep, awk, sort, and filled the filesystem to capacity 
(~3.5GB) as root.


I'd certainly like to hear if there are any caveats for non-standard filesystem 
parameters.


BTW, this is an early 2.2.7S/CAM.

I'm not sure if questions is the right place to post this, but here goes. Please 
steer me in the right direction if necessary. Any suggestions are welcome.

I live in the Princeton, NJ area, and would be interested in actively 
participating in a local FreeBSD user group. As I'm a newbie, I figure I would 
easily get more out than I put in  ;-)

For me, local would include NYC - I'd gladly commute there for a suitably 
scheduled meeting. My partner (although he's not very technically inclined) is a 
Brooklyn resident with an intimate knowledge of the city, so he might be able to 
help with organisational matters.

The nearest group I see listed on http://www.freebsd.org/support.html#user is a 
group forming in Washington DC, which would not be practical for me to attend 
except on rare occasions.

I've no idea how many users exist in the NYC area, who might be interested in a 
FreeBSD users group, but it would seem a logical place to have one, especially 
from an advocacy viewpoint.

As a starter, I'd be willing to provide online resources (need to discuss this 
with my partner though) for a local UG, including maintaining a mailing list.

I'd also like to know if there are any guidelines for forming/operating a FreeBSD 
UG.

v. 2 is the current one.

The book covers basic things like administration/configuration.  Most
likely 90% of the book will also apply to 3.0.  I think the author also
has posted errata to this list in the past.

It never hurts to buy at least one book, and that would be the one I'd
suggest for FreeBSD.

Hello,

I just got around to upgrading my 2.2.6 system to 3.0.  However, I just
discovered that the GENERIC kernel on the boot.flp for 3.0 no longer
supports the amd0 (AMD 53c94 based boards) by default.  How am I supposed to
upgrade if the boot.flp does not support my SCSI adapter?

I'm sure it cropped up in -current / -hackers a while ago... Maybe it's only
3.0 relevant... I'll see if I can dig up anything...

Well I live in Denver, CO and also would like a User Group here so if that
means me organizing or co-organizing one then so be it.  Mailing List should
be no problem but I am still rather new to FreeBSD.
Anyone in Denver on the list who has any interest?

Can I put FreeBSD on computers that I am selling as "preconfigured
webservers".  Are there licensing requirements, etc.?  I would think not
given the name "Free" BSD but want to make sure this would be OK.  I run
FREEBSD myself and want to spread the wealth....

Thanks

Subject: mysql package

I'm trying to install the mysql_3.21.33 package and I get the following error:
ELF interpreter /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found
The obvious answer is the file doesn't exist. The question is should it be
there and where can I get it. I've recently upgraded to 3.0

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Andy

The obvious question to me would be, what did you change in your kernel
config file?

The newfs man page mentions that / has to be 8k/1k or the kernel
gets upset.  Could that be it?

Hi,

	I know :). I changed a few options around, added some, added
support for my SB 16 sound card, commented out all the SCSI and Ethernet
card options, added support for the ext2fs filesystem. That's about it. I
could mail the file, but it is rather long ... (BTW, this is the first
time I've compiled a kernel under FreeBSD, so I amy have overlooked
something very obvious :( )

	Thanks.

That could very well be related... I seem to remember seeing some people
mentioning their kernel had gotten upset... ;-)

I'll try to find the postings (or someone with an authoritive answer will
answer?) or we could go on being vague all weekend (what's left ;-)

Hi

Which lines in XF86Config do I edit to prevent xwindows after
cnt-alt-minus from sitting in an odd manner in the centre of the screen with a big border around it? Its a mach64 xserver and I 
don't have any documentation at all so I'm just editing and
restarting the server.

I could never get my compaq "ps/2" mouse on my laptop to work either,
although it does work with linux.  I don't know much about driver
internals and hardware but I'd say the compaq ps/2 mouse isn'y very ps/2
compliant.

If someone has gotten this to work, I'd like to know....

I'd start by removing the ext2fs support and building another kernel.

Okay, I need a hard-drive guru to help me figure something out.

I had a number of problems getting FBSD to recognize the actual size
of my hard drives. (Eventually I fell back on the old hack of adding a
DOS partition and then deleting it once the geometry was recognized.)

To start: Hardware: Tyan Trinity motherboard with AMD K6-2 350
processor. LBA activated. (Hard drive data to follow).
Running 2.2.8 Free BSD only. No other operating systems. 

Okay... 

Here is "dmesg | grep wd" :

  wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7irq 14 on isa
  wdco: unit 0 (wd0): <QUANTUM FIREBALL SE8.4A>
  wd0: 8063MB (16514064 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T 512 B/S
  wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <WDCAC33100H>
  wd1: 2014MB (4124736 sectors), 4092 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
  wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15on isa
  wdc1: unit 0(wd2): <Maxtor 84320D4>
  wdc2: 1888MB (3866940 sectors), 4092 cyls, 15 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/s
[omitting CDROM info, as it is irrelevant]

The first size is correct. The second is actually 3016 MB. The third
is 4112MB.

I added the following code to wd.c and recompiled the kernel:

  printf("%d:LBA Size: %lu - Read as %lu sectors\n",
           lunit,
           du->dk_params.wdp_lbasize,
           du->dk_dd.d_secperunit);

As I understand the code, if the drive reports an LBA size, this
should be used as the sectors per unit. However, after recompiling
"dmesg | grep LBA" gives:

 0:LBA Size: 16514064 - Read as 16514064 sectors
 1:LBA Size: 6185088 - Read as 4124736 sectors
 2:LBA Size: 8439184 - Read as 3866940 sectors

The first is right. The next two make no sense to me.

Can anyone help explain this?

You most likely are using some xdm derivitive (graphical logon right?)

man xhost
man xauth

xauth is more secure but a bit more cryptic to figure out.

In the future please try to keep questions where they belong.

Are you typing 'su -' or 'su'?  The latter is what you want to use.

hello all .. hope christmass and new year went well.

as teh subject line says, ms intelli mouse and xfree v3.3.2 (as shipped with 
freebsd v2.2.7-release, all these revisions number, confusing).

i recently resurected an old pentium (p5-133) that had been on teh recieving 
end of an nec 4d meltdown - teh ht circuits blew in a most spectacular manner.

sorry fro teh rambling, i'd like to know how to get xfree to use teh two 
mutton mouse as if it were a 3 button mouse. i read that if you press both 
mouse buttons simaltaniously, this acts like it was teh middle button.

try as i might i cannot get thsi to happen, is thier a software way to fix what 
might be a hardware or a wetware problem, please ? 

regards amd thx

jonathan

There is no cost for obtaining FreeBSD, nor for distributing it, and you can
download it straight off of www.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/ with no trial/whatever
costs.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG

Hi
I wonder what are the correct permissions for the /var and /var/tmp directories?
I have the following at present:

	lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  8 10 jan 16:41 /var -> /usr/var
	drwxr-xr-x  18 root  wheel   512 10 jan 16:28 var
	drwxrwxrwt  3 bin     bin     512 10 jan 22:12 tmp

Background for this:
-------------------
I had to change the permission for /var/tmp from (drwxr-xr-t) to (drwxrwxrwt)
in order to get my keyboard working properly while using XFree86333 for 
regular users. XFree86 gave me the following error message:

    The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
    >Error:     Cannot open "/var/tmp/server-0.xkm to write keyboard description
    >         Exiting
    Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap.

The root user does not get this message when starting X.
I am running a fresh 2.2.8-RELEASE with XFree86 version 3.3.3.

Any help appreciated.

Best regards,
Paal Sommerhein

Hello.,

I have downloaded the src code for the 2 files to unpgrade X to 3.3.3.
However, how do I uncompress the files so they install correctly?  Will 
it automatically uncompress the other file when needed?

Thanks, any info is appreciated.

Neill

Hello,

I may not have the right place, please direct me if I am wrong.  I have 
an Earthlink.net dialup account and have been successfully recieving 
help through that account for many months, however, starting last week I 
get all my messages sent back to me with an error that it cannot deliver 
to the   freebsd-questions@freebsd.org   and that it is a permanent 
error.  Also, I have made no changes to my account or email program.   
Has this happened to anyone before?

Thanks

Neill

Ive posted to the comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc newsgroup, but received either
no answer or answers to a different question (sigh), so I will try here.

In a nutshell, I cant install the Walnut Creek FreeBSD v3.0 dated Nov 1998
on a machine has a GigaByte motherboard, a 350MHz Pentium and two 6GB disks.
However, its not obvious how the hardware is relevant to the problem that
I am seeing.

I can boot the cd (directly), remove some conflicts, set the keymap and
choose NOVICE install.

I get as far as the DISK LABEL EDITOR, which is about screen #10 in the
install.  At that point I have given it either the 1st slice on the 2nd
disk (wd2s1) or the 3rd slice on the 1st disk (wd1s3). This slice is about
1.1GB in size.  I have changed the slice type to FreeBSD, and verified (with
the `G' screen that fdisk is seeing the LBA stuff, and that the entire disk
is seen as being below cylinder 779.

In all cases the dialog goes like this:

DISK LABEL EDITOR
    I type `A' for Automatic layout.
    FreeBSD/Install responds
    Unable to create the root partition.  Too Big?

    So I try `C' for create.
    FreeBSD/Install responds with a size screen,
    I cut the size down to 20M from some large number of blocks.
    FreeBSD/Install responds with `type' screen.
    I leave it at FS and (OK)
    FreeBSD/Install responds with a mount point screen
    I type in / , then (OK)
    FreeBSD/Install responds with

    This region cannot be used for your root partition as the FreeBSD boot
    program cannto deal with a root partition created at this location.
    Please choose another location or smaller size for your root partition
    and try again.

As noted Ive tried two locations on two separate disks.
Ive (logically) turned off the SCSI controller so install doesnt see it,
just in case that was confusing it (there are NO scsi disks).
Ive cut the size of the slice down to 500M.

All of these result in the same dialog.
Any Ideas?

Windows98 and Linux install and run just fine on the machine.
I had wanted to bring up Windows/Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris on this machine to
use it as a testbed for some software.  However trying to install FreeBSD
is taking WAY more  time than I had expected, what with the claim of
`Easy Installation'.

I believe that this is due to some very bad spammage from
earthlink.net that happened in the last few weeks.

You should put the files in /usr/ports/distfiles/xc, and then cd
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86 and "make && make install && make clean". Answer
the questions it asks you as part of the configuration script, and then
let it run.

I guess we kind of have a problem.

We have to remotely administer group of computers, and sometimes the
computers go down, and don't come back up.

Is there anything that we can do to make the rebooting process more
robust?

For example:

  Is there a modification that we can make to the boot manager to make
  it automatically default back to the kernel.old, and then the
  kernel.generic after a failed startup?

  Is there a way that we can get around a fsck error aborting the boot
  process to multiuser mode?

  Is there a way to hook up a console box or something the the freebsd
  box, so that if we recompile the kernel, and it fails to reboot, we
  can change kernels, or if there's a fsck error, that we can run
  fsck, and fix it up - even though the network hasn't yet started?

Has anyone done, or had experience with solving problems as above? Any
solutions?

Thanks,

Ken.

Hi All,
i'm going through som real grief upgrading ppp on my 2.1.5 FBSD box......
the old version of ppp (0.94) worked in terms of logging on but the line
keeps dropping....
i've attached the ppp.conf & linkup files which were okay for ver0.94 but
stop working for the latest ppp version....... i've edited them this way
and that to get them to work to no avail....... does anyone have any
ideas???.......
the only error message i get is as follows..... 
"default route already exist: add route failed"......
thanks in advance.....
leo

I have attempted to install 2.2.8 on my laptop, a AMD K-6 300mhz, 128mb
RAM, 4.1 gb hd, cd-rom, 13.3 TFT monitor (what additional info is
needed?).

When I put in the boot floppy, restart the laptop the install hangs. The
install doesn't appear to even start the device probing.

I've tried this several times, but don't know what the next step is.

Thnx for any and all help.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk

I just moved to 2.2.5 (using the "upgrade" install) from a 2.1.5 box that
contains a Boca 8-port board.

Prior to the upgrade, the board was working fine.

After the upgrade, getty shows there are processes for each line, but
nothing appears on the screen, and characters typed at the terminal are
echoed back.

I can "cat" a file out the port (after shutting off getty to it) and I can
start a telnet that has stdin and stdout redirected to the port, and it
works OK.

So, 2.2.5 sees the port and can access it, but getty is dropping the ball
somehow. Was there some change between the two revs?

I've checked the mail list archives and faq/handbook, and can't find
anything relevant.

Thanks.

start from http://www.isc.org/bind8/config.html. If you're running a
recent version of FreeBSD (I'm not sure how recent) there will be a
sample configuration file in /etc/namedb/named.conf for you. If you have
any more specific questions that the URL above doesn't answer, feel free
to ask, but your question is to vague at the moment.

I think I found a problem in the wd.ccode which makes it unable to recognize certain LBA disks.

The code assumes any LBA disk will return 16383 as the number of cylinders. In my case, at least (Award BIOS on a Tyan Trinity motherboard) two of the three disks do NOT return this number, so the disk size is underestimated by the kernel probes. [Yes, I DID fix this by putting on a DOS partition, but wouldn'tit be nice to not have to rely on DOS partitions for disk geometry?]

Well, I don't know if this fixes any other disk geometry problems, as I haven't tried it out very extensively, but this patch does make dmesg (and the boot time probes) return the correct number of sectors.

Could anyone tell me if this breaks anything? And what the reasoning was behind the 16383 restriction. (After all, it only reaches that line of code if the LBA flag is set anyway. So we already know it is in LBA mode. The 16383 seems superfluous.)

I am doing a project on mutlicasting on freebsd 2.2.6 and I read up
someplace that we *need* to enable promiscuous mode of the network
interface card. Which kernel configuration option controls this feature?
Anybody?

Adeel.

Hi,

	I used the GENERIC kernel as a template, not LINT. So a fair
number of things in LINT are missing in CRAY(that's my machine :). I don't
really know if I missed turning on some option not documented in the
Handbook, but only in LINT.

I am attempting to split my existing partition in order to install
FreeBSD, however when I run FIPS it gives the error:
--
Checking Rootsector...
Error: Partition table Corrupt - end: partition 1
File ERRORS.TXT not found - no verbose messages available
Bye!

I have the 2.2.8 CD-ROM set from cdrom.com. The hard drive currently is
only a single partition in FAT32 with Windows98 on it. I ran the
partition information utility from PartitionMagic 4.0 and it reports no
partition errors. I tried using PM4 to split my existing partition and
it got almost 60% through the process and told me "Error 3 executing
batch." and gave up itself.

Any idea what my problem could be? I am stumped. PM4 info util reports
no partition errors, but FIPS says the Partition Table is corrupt....
Help!

Hi,

Is the file type for both 2.2.8 and 3.0 FAT?

Thanks

I don't believe that fips works on a Fat32 partition.

If you send in a complete copy of the bounce message someone
may be able to tell you what is going on.  As usual, "it don't
work" isn't a very useful problem description.

I don't think you really want either of these to happen without
human intervention..  You may not notice and that could end up
causing real problems, especially in the second case.

I haven't tried it but you should be able to run a serial console
into a RAS box like a PM2 and telnet to your serial port.  Should
be pretty close to sitting at a local serial console.

Hello,

I have a few problems trying to install freebsd on my computer, the
program freezes when it probes my system.  I have tried installing from
cd-rom and from a floppy boot disk, still having the same problem. I
realize that it says it may take awhile, but 7 hours is more than
awhile.  Is there anything in my system that might cause it to freeze or
something I done wrong during the first few steps?  This is the first
time that I have tried to install anything unix based, please help.

Thanks,

Bryon Phend

Dear Sir,
	I am a first time installer of FreeBSD. I recently downloaded your boot
disk and started to install it. I wound up to the point where I needed to
give information on my network which I don't have. I run through a service
provider ( Bellatlantic.net) and wondered how I download the files through
the modem.. and after I install the program will I be able to connect to
Bellatlantic to run the server.. This will be used to run websites. 
		Thank You!

"xvidtune" should be helpful, if you have that.  If not, there's an
excellent document on adjusting the X video modes that gives you the
nitty-gritty.  It's available, for instance, at:

I have a Compaq ProSignia server with a 486 processor and two 535MB SCSI =
hard-drives.  The machine has 32 MB of RAM.  I haven't seen any =
documentation on whether or not this is supported by freeBSD. =20

The reason for this question is due to several failed attempts at =
installing the software.  The macine boots to the actual install screen. =
 I choose 'novice' install and it tells me that there are NO DISKS =
FOUND!  Was I to set this up in the Kernel config?  Yes, but did not see =
anything pertaining to the SCSI controller found in my system.  It is =
Compaq of course. =20

Do you have any suggestions?  BTW, this machine has to CD-ROM drive so I =
am trying to download all the software.  I have the /bin directory =
copied into the /FREEBSD directory on a blank DOS partition.

TIA,

Russ Peters

Dear colleagues,

  I have a question regarding using a modem on freeBSD.

  I am using a Dell computer (Dimension V series) with an internal modem
of US Robotics (Sportster WinModem 56K). The problem is that the freeBSD 
cannot find the modem. The modem is installed to COM2 on Win98 which 
corresponds to sio1 on freeBSD. However, in booting message, I found that

        sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa
        sio0: type 16550A
        sio1 ... (I cannot remember exactly, but it is different from sio0)
        sio1: ...

It seems that the freeBSD does not recognize my modem.
I have already read your FAQ in 3.22 "I have an internal Plug & Play modem 
and FreeBSD can't find it." But I don't understand how I can get the
PnP ID of my modem. 

  I am looking forward to your kind reply.

  Thank you.

It won't work, period. You need to replace it with a real modem.

There's your problem.  It's a _Win_Modem.  It wont' work under
FreeBSD.  You'll need to buy or somehow acquire a "real" modem if you
want to use it with FreeBSD.

If you send in a complete copy of the bounce message someone
may be able to tell you what is going on.  As usual, "it don't
work" isn't a very useful problem description.

The list was, once again, shoulder deep in SPAM originating from
earthlink so it was blocked.  You should consider not using a
spam haven as your access provider.

for one thing i see is your modem is on com 1, so do you have a mouse
on com1 too or are you using a ps/2 type? if your using a ps/2
type then you must have an external modem plugged in to
the com1 port.

another thing i see is your trying to use 38400 bps and sometimes
that is not a good choice for speed, try 57600 or 19200 if u have
an external modem, if you have an internal modem on com1 like it shows
make sure that com1 is disabled in the bios or else you 
have 2 devices mapped at the same address and irq.

I would suggest using an external modem if your not, that way you avoid
irq and i/o port conflicts.

I submit at least for the moment.
I have a WIndoz machine connected via ethernet to a FBSD2.2.7
machine acting as a gateway through a ISDN -PPP connection to
Bell Atlantiic. (ppp -auto -alias PAP)  As a gate way I have no
problem telnetiing from the win98 machine to anypart of the inet
except the gateway machine it'self However I can ping the box
but can make no login in connection.
If I telnet to another FBSD machine on the other side of the PPP
connection I can telnet back into the gateway machine ok.
Running tcpdump  on the gateway machine i can see when the win98
machine  looks for the mac address ok. but the win98 machine
just times out after not getting an answer from the gateway
machine. I can ping the win98 machine from the FBSD machine ok.
I have entries in both hosts on the FBSD and lmhosts on the win
98 box.
The extra tun-devices are for expandtion of dialin modems

207.8.142.138 = FBSD2.2.7 box on outside of the ppp link
206.223.15.1=FBSD2.2.7 box acting as a gateway

Just thought I'd let everyone know I have the first issue of 'The
FreeBSD 'zine' up at http://www.freebsdzine.org/.  I put up a post a
few months ago, and after some unforseen problems changing backbone
providers, etc., it's finally up.

New issues will be put up monthly, and I'm looking for people
interested in contributing articles.  I've already got 4 or 5 new
authors putting together articles for Issue #2, so it's looking pretty
good.  Check out the What's New section of the web site for some of
the planned topics.  I'd also be interested in hearing from anyone
who'd like to mirror the site.

If anyone's interested in contributing, feel free to email me at
jim@corp.au.triax.com or jim@phrantic.phear.net, or drop in #FreeBSD
on Undernet.. you can usually find me there.

Btw, Jordan or Wolfram.. can we get a link to this put up on the
FreeBSD web site? =)

Thanks,

You'd get (even) a lot more participation if you changed to a more
appropriate subject.  There, I've done it for you.

Any interest in Adelaide SA?

Dear pw author,

    When I use the command:
pw useradd master2 -u 2001 -c "test" -d "/home/user/master2" -g 0 -s
"/bin/sh"
in FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT, it halts and has no response. But this command
works in FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE.

    Followings are some information about this problem in 3.0C:

1. when the command halts, ps axw | grep pw, I see:

  931  p1  I      0:00.01 /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -C /etc/master.passwd
  950  p1  I+     0:00.01 pw useradd master2 -u 2001 -c test -d
/home/user/maste
r2 -g 0 -s /bin/sh

2. when I gdb it, it works!

3. my system uname -a:
FreeBSD pilot.market.net.tw 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Jan

I might be ok for Southern MD, but not with anyone that can't be convinced

Okay, I'm sending this to Questions because I have a few questions for you
all.  But, if you want the condensed version of all this, then here it is:

Do you you want to see FreeBSD succeed?  If you do, then you should really
get involved.

Please read on. :)

I totally agree here.  Users really need to get involved.  I have noticed
that there is a FreeBSD Webring.  I think that is one of the greatest
things  that has been thought of for FreeBSD Advocacy.  If you're HTML savy
and have something to say about FreeBSD, then by all means put your HTML
skills to work and let people know what you think about FreeBSD.  You
create an online FreeBSD diary dedicated on what you did when you
installed, what problems you had and how you fixed them, what software
packages you liked the best, how did you set up your kernel, etc.  Use your
imagination and have some fun with it! :)

Yes!!! That is exactly how Linux got so popular.  It was the Linux addicts
and the Linux obsessed that let the world know that Linux is a great
operating system. Let's learn from their success and try to do what they
did, but instead we'd be telling the world how great FreeBSD is and that
sort of stuff.  But, let's not make it a Linux vs. FreeBSD thing. ;)  I'm
am totally prepared to go to Computer Shows and pass out FreeBSD flyers, or
better yet, FreeBSD News letters straight from the source.  Are you willing
to work for your OS?  Think about all the fun you'll have going to computer
shows looking at the neat hardware and stuff while promoting your favorite
sofware (FreeBSD).

This is where the big question comes in.  Are you willing to work for your
OS?  If you are, then lets band together and let people know that FreeBSD
is a killer OS.  Who should we let know of this information?  I'm currently
planning a few things.  Here they are:

1) Do research on FreeBSD vs. NT servers and FreeBSD vs. Linux servers.
Probably show which can handle more users, and what-not.

2) Try to push the FreeBSD Webring.

3) Try to push for more X support, and perhaps try to come up with a voting
scheme for a default windowmanager for FreeBSD or something like that.

4) Bombard every magazine that I know politely letting them know that I
found a great OS that is totally free and totally awesome (ack, I'm
starting to sound valley - like fer sure).  Also, I have noticed some
letters to magazines by people pushing the free software thing, but only
mentioning Linux.  Okay, I feel if you are going to be a "Free Sofware
Advocate" then don't be so one-sided and only mention Linux, try mentioning
the other free OS's and stuff.  (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Hurd, Linux,
etc)  Just to be fair.

Hopefully, this project of mine will be done before Febuary.  I may need
help with writing letters to magazines.  I'm thinking of an easily
modifyable (that's probably not a word) form letter that can be changed for
different target audiences.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Joey

I'd be glad to help. FreeBSD is the best OS I've ever used. I am running
FreeBSD-current as of right now (cvsupped about 2 days ago, and make world
done yesterday) and it is still one of the most stable OSs I've ever seen
(I've used UniCOS (Cray), and Digital UNIX (OSF1), and IRIX, and SunOS,
Solaris, Win 95, Win 98, and Win NT) and FreeBSD outdoes all the MS stuff,
and as far as I can tell it outdoes even Digital Unix, IRIX, and the two
sun UNIXs. Not to mention it is easier to install and upgrade than the
commercial UNIXs (and for some even easier to install than the MS
products). It is just amazing. But anyway, I'd be glad to go to local
computer shows, and not just hand out flyers, but actually have a booth,
(I may need some sort of financial support here.) where FreeBSD-stable, or
-current is demonstrated, and the CD's (from Walnut Creek) are sold. I
live in Maryland, and I was wondering if anyone could help.

Whenever I save a plain text file in WinNT and open it in FreeBSD, at the
end of every line is a "^M".  How do I get rid of these?  I tried writing a
little C++ program to copy all text except "^M" to another file, but it
doesn't work because C++ treats the ^ and the M as different characters,
whereas vi treats them as _one_ character.  After searching the mailing
list archives, I came up with the syntax ":%s/stuff/other stuff/g" as the
oh-so-intuitive replace command in vi, and I tried it, but to no avail (it
says "no match found").  Any suggestions?  Thanks,

In my previous message I reported an error FIPS was giving me. I
received a single response stating that FIPS was not compatible with
FAT32. I found a newer version of FIPS that is FAT32 compatible and
would like to make you aware of it. It is FIPS v2.0 (the one currently
on the 2.22.8 4CD set is FIPS v1.1). v2.0 includes FAT32 support. Please
make a note of this URL for future reference, thank you.

Webpage is: http://www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/
Link to FIPS v2.0 is:  http://www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/fips20.zip

Thanks for the help.

Just some further info...
if you were to do a hex dump ("hd") of the text file, you would see at the
end of each line an "0d 0a", that's an ASCII 13 followed by an ASCII 10,
aka CRLF.

BTW, two simple perl scripts which were posted on this list a long time ago
(sometime before Oct. 5, 1997) take care of CRLF conversions for you:

---unix2dos---
#!/usr/bin/perl -pi
#
# Convert Unix text file to DOS file format.  Conversion is done in-place.
#
# Usage: unix2dos unixfile ...

print STDERR "Converting \"$ARGV\" ...\n" if (eof || ($. == 0));
s/$/\015/;                      # tack on ^M
s/\n/\n\032/ if (eof);          # DOS ^Z at end of file.

---dos2unix---
#!/usr/bin/perl -pi
#
# Convert DOS text file to Unix file format.  Conversion is done in-place.
#
# Usage: dos2unix dosfile ...

print STDERR "Converting \"$ARGV\" ...\n" if (eof || ($. == 0));
s/\015$//;                      # strip ^M from end of line.
s/\032$//;                      # strip ^Z if we see it (which'll be at EOF).

I had the same problem on my laptop, however the install seems to work
fine
on 3.0-RELEASE, I suggest you try and copy the floppy boot image
(see the floppy directory) from the ftp site to see if it works.

Hi there,

not a BSD solution, but there is a program called Super NoteTab for Windows
which will allow you to save in the UNIX format.  Dont let the name put you
off it really is pretty good, especially when you have samba and notetab
editing files directly off you web server.

www.notetab.com

Whenever I save a plain text file in WinNT and open it in FreeBSD, at the
end of every line is a "^M".  How do I get rid of these?  I tried writing a
little C++ program to copy all text except "^M" to another file, but it
doesn't work because C++ treats the ^ and the M as different characters,
whereas vi treats them as _one_ character.  After searching the mailing
list archives, I came up with the syntax ":%s/stuff/other stuff/g" as the
oh-so-intuitive replace command in vi, and I tried it, but to no avail (it
says "no match found").  Any suggestions?  Thanks,

I jumped at the chance to get involved with this webring.  But I don't 
think I'm getting much traffic from it.  A great deal of my traffic comes 
from www.freebsd.org.  Perhaps we need to promote the ring more as well.

WOW!  That's a really fantastic idea!  Why didn't I think of that?

freeBSD and solaris?

Hi!
I can't find how I can organize PPP callback on FreeBSD.
I have FreeBSD 2.2.8 as Internet host and Win95 PPP client from
home.
I use modem to connect to the BSD.  On the BSD I use user-ppp as
dialin server with pap security.
Question: I want my BSD host (which is permanently connected to the
Internet) to call me back to my home using user-ppp. At home I have
Win95 and its standard ppp client.
Is it possible to organize such thing ?

Thank you.
Pelex.

I recently upgraded to 3.0-RELEASE by making world and following the guide
in the tutorial for updating the system.  After the upgrade, fvwm is
exiting on signal 11 (SIGSEGV) when run by anyone other than root.  I
tried rebuilding the port but that had no effect.  

Any help in tracking this down would be appreciated...
