I told you you could delete it during the install, when it has already

As I recall there's some advice about this in install documentation,
which is one reason to get the cdroms and print the stuff (and read it)
before you install.  That's what I did.

But here's also a piece from the faq:

<quote>
   
Chapter 1. Installation

   Q: Which geometry should I use for a disk drive? 
          
   A: (By the "geometry" of a disk, we mean the number of cylinders,
   heads and sectors/track on a disk - I'll refer to this as C/H/S for
   convenience. This is how the PC's BIOS works out which area on a disk
   to read/write from).
   
   This seems to cause a lot of confusion for some reason. First of all,
   the physical geometry of a SCSI drive is totally irrelevant, as
   FreeBSD works in term of disk blocks. In fact, there is no such thing
   as "the" physical geometry, as the sector density varies across the
   disk - what manufacturers claim is the "true" physical geometry is
   usually the geometry that they've worked out results in the least
   wasted space. For IDE disks, FreeBSD does work in terms of C/H/S, but
   all modern drives will convert this into block references internally
   as well.
   
   All that matters is the logical geometry - the answer that the BIOS
   gets when it asks "what is your geometry?" and then uses to access the
   disk. As FreeBSD uses the BIOS when booting, it's very important to
   get this right. In particular, if you have more than one operating
   system on a disk, they must all agree on the geometry, otherwise you
   will have serious problems booting!
   
   For SCSI disks, the geometry to use depends on whether extended
   translation support is turned on in your controller (this is often
   referred to as "support for DOS disks >1GB" or something similar). If
   it's turned off, then use N cylinders, 64 heads and 32 sectors/track,
   where 'N' is the capacity of the disk in MB. For example, a 2GB disk
   should pretend to have 2048 cylinders, 64 heads and 32 sectors/track.
   
   If it is turned on (it's often supplied this way to get around certain
   limitations in MSDOS) and the disk capacity is more than 1GB, use M
   cylinders, 63 sectors per track (*not* 64), and 255 heads, where 'M'
   is the disk capacity in MB divided by 7.844238 (!). So our example 2GB
   drive would have 261 cylinders, 63 sectors per track and 255 heads.
   
   If you are not sure about this, or FreeBSD fails to detect the
   geometry correctly during installation, the simplest way around this
   is usually to create a small DOS partition on the disk. The correct
   geometry should then be detected (and you can always remove the DOS
   partition in the partition editor if you don't want to keep it, or
   leave it around for programming network cards and the like).
   
   Alternatively, there is a freely available utility distributed with
   FreeBSD called ``pfdisk.exe'' (located in the tools subdirectory on
   the FreeBSD CDROM or on the various FreeBSD ftp sites) which can be
   used to work out what geometry the other operating systems on the disk
   are using. You can then enter this geometry in the partition editor.
 
</quote>

While I have some sympathy with your desire to be warned, 
modern computer operating systems are complex and it is 
difficult to anticipate everything a user might run into in
the process of installation.  I read some documents before I
installed that made me aware that I needed to know a good deal
about my hardware during the process, and I made some effort 
to find out about the geometry of scsi drive, all 575 megabytes
of it, and got, from various sources, three different answers.
The above was not available at the time.

You can leave out the original panic message if you have the dump, and
the kernel config is not often of use.  Extracts from the dmesg, on
the other hand, would tell us something, for example which version of
FreeBSD you're running.  Don't expect me to go and look for your old
messages, I don't have time for that.

The software info is more important than the hardware.

This looks like a VM problem.

OK, the most important question now: which version of FreeBSD?

Oh I do agree, but in this case, the problem _was_ obviously anticipated...
at least to the extent that it made it into the FAQ (as noted above).

Hi,

I have ports netscape-4.5 running, however I could not get connection to
the outside world though my ppp connection to my ISP is good.

Here is a little information that might be helpful:

from /var/log/messages:

but when I try to go to www.freebsd.org, netscape just bails out when the
link could not establish in a certain amount of time.


Could anyone help me debug the problem? Or at least point me to relavant
places to investigate. Thanks a lot in advance.


John

Neither did I. That's the main reason I moved to all-SCSI, it "just
works", especially with *nix. None of these "only 4 devices", "1024
cyls/504MB/LBA", "can't have a CD as primary slave with a disk on
secondary master" problems that IDE seems to be plagued with. I'd
be interested in knowing the "truth" about this for future reference.

Subject: upgrade to FBSD3.3 on P166+ -> lower RC5 keyrate ?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG

Hello all,

my FBSD server (Cyrix P166+ rev 1.7) is running the rc5-64 client.

Under FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE, it ran at ~235KKeys/sec.

Two days ago, I installed FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE, and now my keyrate is down 
to ~165KKeys/sec.

Since the machine's setup and kernel configuration didn't change at all, I 
wonder why this happens, what change between 3.2R and 3.3R could have 
caused this ?

Note that a friend's system with a P166+ rev 1.6 (cache forced to 
write-through) used to run at ~150KKeys/sec under FBSD3.2, and he still 
sees the same rate after the upgrade...

Does someone know what may be going on here ?

TIA,

Hi!

Under the "FreeBSD runs thousands of applications", the following blurb =
is stated:

"Software development. A suite of development tools comes with FreeBSD, =
including the GNU C/C++ compiler and debugger and the Perl scripting =
language. Java and Tcl/Tk development are also possible."

Does FreeBSD comes with Java development tools or do I obtain them from =
elsewhere? (Maybe Sun? or GNU?)

Thank you,

Tom Stewart

That's strange.  Are you sure you did not just forget to change
your rulefile (sockd.conf) when going to 1.1? The announcement for
1.1 included this:
*** Incompatible changes compared to the previous release:
 - The addition of the "udpreply" command means you have to
   modify your existing server configfile to allow udppackets
   "back in" if you are allowing udppackets.

It was also mentioned in the NEWS file, but unfortunately not
emphasized at all there:
 o new command for socks-rules added: "udpreply".  This is analogous to
   the "bindreply" command and replaces the old way of saying what
   addresses udppacket "replies" shall be allowed from.

If something else is the problem, we'll try to fix it if someone
lets us know.

(I don't read this list so cc is in order for any reply.)

Hello,

I have following problem:

I would like to use diskless station with FreeBSD. It has 3com 3c905B NIC.
I have tried etherboot, but without success. Building port and making
floppy is ok, but after boot it hangs up at "Searching for server (BOOTP)."
No packets are sent (tcpdump). It seems, that drivers in etherboot
switches something wrong on card, because when I then boot win98 floppy
with 3c90xcfg.exe, it prints error message (something about small throughput
of bus) and test named "ethernet core loopback" fail in this config soft.
Then I have to save new config to card and card works again.

Have anyone such problem? It is not problem of computer or card, I have
tried it on 2 others computers also equipped with 3c905B and card works
using original PROM from 3com.

It is very important for me, because I plan to build whole lab on diskless
principle, so please help, if you could.

					Thanks much for any help

Hi,
FreeBSD (tried both 3.3-STABLE and 4.0-CURRENT) don't seem to work on
Mobile Celeron 400 processors.

Using the normal boot images, installation hangs before entering the
config editor, after printing the line "".
Aside from the CPU, there's nothing strange in the machine (Intel 440BX/ZX
Host/PCI bridge, PIIX4 IDE+USB interface, ATI Mach64 VGA chipset, ESS
Maestro 2E soundchip and some i82365 compatible PCMCIA chipset from Texas
Instuments, 128 MB SDRAM, normal floppy drive, normal IDE harddisk and
DVD-ROM).

The same CD I tried to use installs without problems on "normal"
computers, Linux installs on the notebook without problems (so it's
probably not broken hardware).

Any ideas?

In recent versions, this is not true. Boot.flp in recent versions *is*
too big, it's 2.88MB. In this case, you should use both kern.flp and
mfsroot.flp, each of which are 1.44MB. Boot from the kern.flp floppy,
and insert the mfsroot one when asked to do so.

thanks.

Dear sir/madam:

Amazing -- quickest reply in the world. thanks.


But where to find documentation to know more detail about ppp?

and I heard NATD is also capable of IP-MASQUERADING, right?

Hello,

I have been real problems on getting a issue to work with telnet. By
loading a file directly.

Here is what I have in /etc/gettytab :

default:\
        :cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:if=/etc/issue:sp#1200:

I have changed the permissions on /etc/issue to 644. Also restarted init.
Telnet in inetd has no extra functions loaded.

I am running FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE. If that helps. :)


Thanks,
- (DJY) Daniel James Young

Hi

I've just tried to install 3.2 from the Walnut Creek CD-ROM.  The
installation has gone fine but when I try to boot the system I get a panic
that it can't mount root.

Is this symptomatic of not having the root parition below the 1024th
cylinder?

The hard disk is a Seagate 9.1GB Ultra2Wide.  The Parition edit says the
drive has 1100 odd cylinders.  My FreeBSD patition is the 3rd partition on
the drive with the first 2 partitions taking up 4032Mb.

Thankx

Marc

You probably need support for more PTYs in the kernel. Increase the
number on the "pseudo-device pty" line in your kernel configuration,
build and install the kernel, and reboot. You may need to build more
device nodes (although I see you say you've done that).

Subject: Permission denied when rebuilding locate db
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

I have moved creating of the locate database to /etc/periodic/daily.
For a month or so it worked fine but lately the locate db has been zero bytes.
When I look at the daily run output I see:

Rebuilding locate database:
find: .: Permission denied

If I run the script by hand as root it works fine.
/etc/crontab has the daily jobs run as root so I don't understand how it could work if run from the shell 
manually, but not from the daily run.

find: .: Permission denied <== Is that saying that it had the permission denied from the current, ".",  
directory? What would be the "." directory? Neither /usr/sbin/periodic or /etc/periodic/daily/315.locate 
(the name I renamed it to) seem to change the directory.

Any ideas?

I have a similar problem I have a ibm 13.5 gig ultra ata 66 drive with 3
primary partitions. The first is a 6 gig with win98. The second is a 1
gig with BeOS 4.5.2. The third is a 5+ gig with 3.3. I use Power Quest
boot magic. The install appeared to go find; but after a reboot and
selecting the freebsd partition it reads the hd then tries to read the
floppy and then I get "read error" as a message. I am not sure if I need
to make a boot floppy. During install at the partition editor I got a
message stating that I was outside 1024 limit. Did you get any similar
message? I didn't think scsi had that limitation.

check www.freebsd.org/ports, in particular look at the Java section.
Those are programs which you can easily get installed under FreeBSD as part of the ports system.

For more about ports look at the documentation. In particular something called the "handbook".

Also any Java based development tool will work under FreeBSD after you have installed the JDK. For 
instance I think Netbeans is Java based (i.e. it is a Java program). Don't recall the URL though.

Mike,

Thank you for your reply. I am not sure if the Hub (Netgear DS 108)
supports Full Duplex - it may only support half. I have checked the docs
that came with the hub, but it mentions nothing about full/half duplex.
I guess I will have to wait till after the w/e to contact Tech Support @
Netgear to find out.

If the hub does support Full duplex I will certainly give it a try.

Hi,

Look at the readme in the floppies subdirectory, boot.flp is intented
for 2,88 Mo floppies, you have to fdimage kern.flp and mfs.flp on 2
different floppies and then boot with kern floppy.

This question has already been answered in this list, look in
http://www.freebsd.org/search when encountering another problem and if
information is irrelevant or incomplete post on this list.

Regards

Eric

Jeremy,

I sent you a message two weeks ago inquiring about FreeBSD usergroups or professionals.  I did not get the courtesy of a reply.  If you do not have a usergroup, then why do you have a web page?

Subject: mounting ext2 partitions on freebsd and freebsd slices on linux

I'm familiar with linux, but not with freebsd.  I've just installed 3.1 on
my local IDE disk, having linux installed on a scsi disk with an adaptec
1522 controller.

I'd like to be able to mount the freebsd partition/slices under linux
while I configure freebsd.  The linux mount man page doesn't seem to clear
about how to mount the freebsd slices (I think that's what you call them).

I see the freebsd partition under linux as /dev/hda1, and would like to be
able to mount the various partitions/slices so I can see them under linux.

Also when freebsd supports the adaptec 1522, which the 3.1 and 3.2 notes
indicate will happen "in the future", how can I mount the linux partitions
under freebsd?

thanks again for what is a newbee question from someone who at least under
linux doesn't feel like a newbee at all.

I've just installed 3.1 which I want to compare to Linux which I've
been using since '94.  FreeBSD is quite different to linux, so I'm a
little lost, knowing what I want to do, but not how.

I see Freebsd supports the Boca IOAT6 multi-port serial card.  My modem is
on linux /dev/ttyS17, IRQ 5, ioport 0x228-22F.  What do I need to
configure to have freebsd see this card?  I've looked partially at the
handbook, but don't seem to see this information.  I am also unsure of
whether this will require a recompilation of the kernel.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

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

Hi,

I have configured Apache 1.3.6 for name virtual hosts on an intranet.
The domains are for clients' web pages during development.

The web server delivers content to the network machines, but I have
kludged my local DNS to get it working.

rc.conf: (no problems here):
  network_interfaces="lo0 pn0 tun0"
  ifconfig_pno="inet 192.168.120.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
  ifconfig_pno_alias0="inet 192.168.120.100 netmask 0xffffffff"  # for
Apache

named.conf: (again, no problems here):
  <...usual stuff...>

  zone "local" in {
     type master;
     file "db.local";
     notify no;
  };
  
  <... more zones...>

db.local: (I'm sure this isn't the right way to do it...):

  @	IN	SOA	local. root.local. (
                            usual stuff...)
  	IN	NS	sparky.at.home.
  
  sparky		IN	A	192.168.120.100
  www.client1.local.	IN	A	192.168.120.100
  www.client2.local.	IN	A	192.168.120.100
  <...etc...>

httpd.conf: (and this seems OK):

  BindAddress 192.168.120.100
  <>
  NameVirtualHost 192.168.120.100

  <VirtualHost www.client1.local>
      ServerName www.client1.local
      <...additional vhost directives...>
  </VirtualHost>

  <VirtualHost www.client2.local> etc, for each client in turn.

By using Name Virtual Hosting I can use just the one IP address on which
Apache listens.For local network machines to resolve the URL enterd in
the browser, DNS is set up as in db.local - but the FQDNs in that file
effectively duplicate the same address. Running NSLINT seems to regard
this as an error with "...already in use" messages. It also reports no
PTR records - which is correct: there aren't any. But if I were to set
up an in-addr.arpa file to resolve IP addresses to names, I can't see it
working because the 1 IP address will resolve to multiple domain names.
(I'm not sure what a browser would make of that - it would probable fall
through the VH sections in httpd.conf and end up in the _default_
section).

I would like to stick with name virtual hosting if I can (next stage is
to use dynamically configured VH using the ``VirtualDocumentRoot
/www/data/%0/htdocs'' directive, where %0 is a placeholder for the
Server Name off the host: header).

So, do I:

a) forget name-virtual hosting and use lots of IP addresses /OR
b) try using CNAMEs in DNS (but how about the PTRs) /OR
c) forget about DNS, just add more entries to /ect/hosts (but then this
has to be
   repeated on every client - this is not so good) /OR
d) stick with what I've got - it works, so why worry /OR
e) try something else?

Can anyone suggest how best to proceed? How is this done in real-world
situations?

Regards,
Ric

Anyone have a good URL for firewall info?  I just got my FreeBSD (3.1) box
running and configured as an open firewall.  The local net can't get out
with it set to simple.  I need a VERY simple description for the Unix
challenged.

I have read The Complete FreeBSD, the FreeBSD Diary, and the FAQ.

I have three FreeBSD 3.2 or 3.3 systems under my direct control. I have
ssh2 up and running happily on all three of them.  I also need to
interact with a number of other systems that I do not manage,
one a Dec Alpha running its native unixoid thing, and the other
a Sun of some sort running Solaris.  Both have ssh1 daemons (old sshd)
running.  However, when I try to ssh1 to either of them, I get
a message RSA key has too many bits for RSAREF to handle (max 1024).

Trying to connect with the -v switch gives me (buried in 'mongst lots
of other stuff) some lines that read:

: Waiting for server public key.
: Received server public key (1152 bits) and host key (1024 bits).
: Host 'blah.foo.com' is known and matches the host key.
: Initializing random; seed file /home/xyzzy/.ssh/random_seed
RSA key hast too many bits for RSAREF to handle (max 1024).

So... is this my problem?  Is it the server's problem?  Do I need something
special in a config file?  Do i need a different RSA library?

Thanks for any help.

(Just to give some positive feedback to whomever wants it, I've been
using FreeBSD since before it was FreeBSD.  I love it more with every 
release.  I feel great satisfaction ever time I discover that the driver
I contributed long ago for a piece of obsolete equipment is still part
of the distribution.  Thank you all for all the work you do to make this
a lively and ever more wonderful project.)

If you look at the script, you will notice that the
/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb command is actually run as 'nobody.'

Well, the locate.310 script does a 'cd /', but that is not the
problem. If you look at /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb, you will see
that it also is just another shell script. And it calls,
/usr/libexec/locate.mklocatedb, yet another script. You can look
through those and possibly add some diagnostic output to see where it
is dying.

You also should search the mail archives. People have reported this
type of problem before. I can't say for sure if they got it figured
out or if you have the exact same problem, but it may be worth a
shot.

Do you have Gateway set in /etc/rc.conf? You need: gateway_enable="YES"

Can you get to the net from the FreeBSD box?
Can the internal network computer(s) ping the FreeBSD box?
What operation are you trying from the internal network and what is the error?
If you are not running your own DNS do you have the name servers from your ISP listed in 
/etc/resolv.conf? Are the computers in the internal network refering to the FreeBSD box for DNS or 
referring to your ISPs name servers?

I don't think you need PTRs for virtual hosting. Hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong..

What are the clients in the internal network? Unix/Windows?
If you have them working by hard coding the names in a host table then you have have the battle won.
You only need to get your DNS fixe.d

From your setup:
  sparky		IN	A	192.168.120.100
  www.client1.local.	IN	A	192.168.120.100
  www.client2.local.	IN	A	192.168.120.100

I believe a more appropiate setup would be to use Canonical names (CN), but I think both will do what 
you want. If this setup is working for you why are you trying to change it?

... And yes multiple entries for a single IP is how it is done.

Yes, the hub/switch must support it, otherwise enabling full duplex on the

That network is apparently @Home in Virginia, and if your mail header
is to be believed, you are on the 24.8.17.0/24 network of @Home in
Texas. The physical separation of your sites does not bother me, but
there is no reason broadcasts on the 24.6.241.0/24 net should be
leaking into 24.8.17.0/24. If that is really happening, you should
report it to the network admins.

Wait, your FreeBSD box is spewing out these NetBIOS packets on its
own? You _should_ see lots of NetBIOS trying to get in if we assume
the majority of @Home users on your LAN are sporting WinBoxes. I would
not expect packets trying to get out, even if your internal WinBoxes
are hooked up (since you are using RFC 1918 addresses on that internal
net, right?).

The only reason I can think of for a FreeBSD box to be sending out
NetBIOS packets is if it is running Samba or Sharity-Light. But you
said you turned off all of the NetBIOS using facilities on the box.

Killing NetBIOS packets should not do anything to NATd. To block
NetBIOS from coming in or out from the Outside,

# ipfw add deny ip from any 137-139 to any via <external>
# ipfw add deny ip from any to any 137-139 via <external>

Where <exernal> is the name of your external interface. With this
rule, you can still run Samba or Sharity-Light and have it work on
your internal network.

As for good documentation for using ipfw, there is the manpage, the
rc.firewall script is well commented, the FreeBSD Handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/firewalls.html), and a many other
websites from FreeBSD users,

Virtual hosting expert here... first off PTr is not needed in DNS for vituals, it only helps if you use
multiple ips... you cannot PTR one ip multiple times.  you can actually get over 1000 virtual hosts on a
single box, depending on hardware... but it can be done, and done securely also you can use multiple
entries per ip address, or multiple ip addresses, or even multiple entries per multiple ip adresses,
either way they all work, you only need correctly setup config files and correctly setup DNS with CN or
CNAME recoreds and one PTR for each IP being the first virtual listed in the conf file.

Well, a last ditch check (for sanity):

1. got link & transmit on the card(s) ?
2.       ""      ""           hub ?
3. packets moving (netstat -bi) ?
4. machine knows where to route (netstat -nr) ?
5. resolution working (arp -a) ?

One thing at a time.
Ping uses ICMP packets which the "simple" setup doesn't allow by default.

Add to /etc/rc.firewall
#Allow pinging
${fwcmd} add pass icmp from any to any

After that try pinging again and check if you can ping from the FreeBSD box the outside world and if you 
can ping from the internal network to the FreeBSd box.

if NOTHING is working, which seems to be what you are describing, then perhaps you have not initialised 
the variables from the simple profile properdly.

Check the part that looks like:
# set these to your outside interface network and netmask and ip
    oif="abc" #set that to the name of your outside interface. If using modem I use "tun0"
    onet="aaa.bbb.ccc.0"
    omask="255.255.255.0"
    oip="aaa.bbb.ccc.##"

    # set these to your inside interface network and netmask and ip
    iif="ed1"
    inet="10.0.0.0"
    imask="255.255.255.0"
    iip="10.0.0.10"

The simple profile is somewhat restrictive, but if I remember correctly you should at least be able to 
browse web pages from your clients to the to the world.

I also think that mail traffic to outside pop/smtp shoud work with the default simple setup.

Good.
Later on after you have all working you may want to play with setting up at least a caching DNS. This is 
nicely explained in the Complete FreeBSD. After that they you could have your local computers have the 
FreeBSD as the primary name server and the ISP as the second.


>Everything works fine (meaning mail gets through, http, etc) when
>firewall_type="OPEN" but as soon as I set it to "SIMPLE" it locks up tight.

Again simple is somewhat closed, but some services should work. If nothing works I tend to think the 
variables to your interfaces may not have been set properly.

After you add the icmp line then try to get ping working from your internal network to your FreeBSD and 
from the FreeBSD to the outside world. Once that is working then you can try to get the rest of thing to 
work.

One thing that helps is to add a rule before the last with:
$fwcmd add deny log ip from any to any

This way you can see where things are failing.

Another way to learn is the opposite. Put at the beginning
$fwcmd add allow log ip from any to any

This last rule will allow you to see what traffic is going through and play with your rules while at the 
same time allowing things to work.

One approach would be to start with the "allow log" all the way up in the list. Then move it down and 
check right after it was moved if the lines above it stop packets which you expected to go through and 
see what you need to do to fix them.


One big gotcha to look for is some of the rules to not let non-routable IPs out may be stopping all your 
traffic dead. 
This is the section that reads:
# Stop RFC1918 nets on the outside interface
    $fwcmd add deny all from 192.168.0.0:255.255.0.0 to any via ${oif}
    $fwcmd add deny all from any to 192.168.0.0:255.255.0.0 via ${oif}
    $fwcmd add deny all from 172.16.0.0:255.240.0.0 to any via ${oif}
    $fwcmd add deny all from any to 172.16.0.0:255.240.0.0 via ${oif}
    #$fwcmd add deny all from 10.0.0.0:255.0.0.0 to any via ${oif}
    #$fwcmd add deny all from any to 10.0.0.0:255.0.0.0 via ${oif}

Notice how the 10.0.0.0 is commented. This was stopping all my traffic in the internal network, even 
though that it is intended to only affect the external interface.

After an extended round of disk grinding, trying to swap some free-space
my netscape session bombed out.  
I am pretty new to FreeBSD and I didn't know what to make of a repeated 
message: "no such file or directory - /etc/spwd.db"
I smelled trouble when I tried to su to root in xterm and got "who are
you?"
After rebooting the machine and failing to get in as root or anyone I
began to realize I had lost my password file.
NOW WHAT?

That sucks.
I might be shooting in the dark, but if you check out the FAQ at
http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/admin.html#AEN1975
it tells you what to do in case you forget your root password.
The procedures there will, I believe, recreate the file, but I'm no guru. At 
least,
you'll be able to get back into the system. Good luck.

If you still have a master.passwd you can rebuild spwd.db by running
"pwd_mkdb /etc/paster.passwd".  If master.passwd is gone as well, check
/var/backups which usually stores the last two revisions of
master.passwd.

Just for your future reference, the "truth" about this is that yes, the
backwards (harware) compatability constraints associated with PeeCee
hardware... in which they all _still_ try to remain somewhat compatible
with the very earliest IBM PeeCees that supported disk drives... DOES
indeed still make us all play funny games when trying to address
specific disk sectors, regardless of whether you have an (E)IDE drive
or a SCSI drive.

The attempts to be backward compatible mean that in the address that gets
sent to the disk drive (in the form cylinder/head/sector) has to get munged
around in weird ways, in particular for any disk that has more than 1 gigabyte
capacity.  Again, this bit of screwyness affects _both_ (E)IDE drives and
also SCSI drives.

But in the case of (E)IDE drives, the software driver can (I think) always
correctly figure out the proper set of rules it has to use when forming the
cylinder/head/sector disk address.  But in the case of SCSI drives, it can't
always do that.

Currently, unless you have some extra hints (e.g. a DOS partition) already
lying around that the FreeBSD `fdisk' program can use to get a clue as to
the current ``disk geometry'' (i.e. the rules for forming a cyl/head/sector
address from a raw sector address) the `fdisk' program is likely to guess
wrong about your disk geometry, at least if you are using a SCSI disk.  In
fact, now that a majority of disk drives have capacities in excess of 1 GB,
the `fdisk' program will *mostly* guess wrong.  And when it does, you *must*
manually override its guess or else you will end up with a partition that
you cannot actually use for anything.  (And unless I'm mistaken, you _may_
even end up improperly overwriting parts of _other_ existing partitions on
that same SCSI disk... which would be really Bad News if you had other
partitions on there that contained stuff that you wanted to keep.)

Obviously this is a dangerous situation.

Equally obvious (to me at least) is that the FreeBSD `fdisk' program should
start by checking to see if it is running on some sort of x86 (PeeCee) type
system.  If it is, then it should proceed to try to determine what sort of
disk drive is being partitioned, SCSI or (E)IDE.  (In fact, its possible
that the first of these checks isn't even necessary because, unless I'm
mistaken, `fdisk' is _only_ used on PeeCee type systems, and even on those,
it is only used in cases where FreeBSD isn't being given the whole disk to
itself, but is instead being asked to ``co-reside'' on the disk with 1, 2,
or 3 other traditional PeeCee (BIOS level) partitions.)

Anyway, if `fdisk' is running on a PeeCee type system, and if it is dealing
with a SCSI drive that may or may not have the so-called ``BIOS address
translation'' feature endabled in the SCSI controller card, then it SHOULD
NOT just guess about the disk geometry... because it can easily guess wrong,
with potentially tragic results.  Instead, it should have two mutually-
exclusive command line options like:

	--translation
and:
	--no-translation

and if the user supplies neither of those, *and* if `fdisk' is unable to
find any useful ``hints'' (e.g. an existing DOS partition) lying around
already on the disk, then upon startup it should *prompt* the user with
a question like:

	Is BIOS address translation enabled on your SCSI controller card
	for this specific SCSI disk drive (y/n)?

I hope that this change will get made in the FreeBSD `fdisk' program.  That
will make it a lot safer to use.

I have created the following script, and I am executing it on FreeBSD
3.2R with a HP DDS3 tape drive. It is not creating a volume for each of
the file systems on a single DDS3 cartridge, which I desire it to do.

#!/usr/local/bin/bash

mt -f /dev/rsa0 erase 0
for filesys in / /var /usr
do
  dump -0au -f /dev/rsa0 $filesys
done
mt -f /dev/rsa0 offline

Yesterday, I issued:
dump -0au -f /dev/rsa0 /
dump -0au -f /dev/rsa0 /var

as a test, and it created two volumes on tape. "mt -f /dev/rsa0 fsf 1"
displayed /var and "mt -f /dev/rsa0 bsf 1" display /.

My intent is to dump everything in the file system on every archive
process, successively archiving every file system. I would appreciate
direction on how to achieve this process.

Cordially,

This cannot have worked.  /dev/rsa0 rewinds after each use, so your
second dump must have overwritten the first.  You want to use
/dev/nrsa0 instead.  Also the "erase" at the beginning is unnecessary.

This is called NAT or network address translation. It can be used by
running ppp -alias I believev.

Another option is that you're looking for masquerading a non-internet IP
network thru a single IP (ie: a 10. subnet).  I'm unfortunately unable to
access the web right now, but if you go to www.freebsd.org and look under
"tutorials" on the left hand column, go there and look at the ppp primer,
it discusses "ip alasing" and "masquerading" a few pages in.  I used that
primer to set up masquerading on my system, so it worked kinda well.

Regards,
John

Did that - didn't change anything.

Don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but the following line
appears when I boot...

"IP packet filtering initialized, divert enabled, rule-based forwarding
disabled, default to accept, unlimited logging"

btw, pardon the stupid question - but which file holds the log?

$(SUBJ)?

I'm asking because I know that ssh2 clients cannot connect to a ssh1
daemon.

Thanks!

There's natd(8): Network Address Translation Daemon; or ppp(8)'s
builtin aliasing capabilities.

After you change your rc.firewall how are you re-initialising the firewall?
One way is to "cd /etc; sh rc.firewall"

>"IP packet filtering initialized, divert enabled, rule-based forwarding
>disabled, default to accept, unlimited logging"

That seems ok. Also as far as I understand the "default accept" means that you setup your firewall to 
accept any packet which was not trapped by a rule. This also implies that one of your rules must be 
screwing you up or there is still something wrong with the way the setup for the varies is done.

Are the cards up? Check with ifconfig -a
Are you connected to the net through ethernet? fxp0 sounds familiar, but not xl0. What is xl0?

Good. that should allow all traffic through.

Note that your internal network is 192.168, so you would want to comment those lines instead of the 10.0 
from my example.

With that "allow from any to any" I would tend to think that your problem must be either one of your 
cards is not up or you are copying something wrong when typing the addresses in the rc.firewall 
variables initialization.

As noted earlier in this thread, a dos partition is a good
way to let the FreeBSD installer know about the geometry on the hard
drive.

Whatever the personal antipathy toward Microsoft, the mass success
of the MSWindows/Intel platform--the pc--is what has made this hardware
as inexpensive as it is.  That the hardware itself displays its
origins should come as no surprise.    

These computers are historically dos machines, and the first 
platform for which most manufacturers of cards write software.  

A dos partition is useful, therefore, for running the setup
programs manufacturers provide for ethernet cards and possibly
others--e.g., taking them out of pnp mode or setting addresses
and irq's.

More sophisticated partitioning and boot managing utilities, such
as Partition Magic and System Commander, are also dos programs.
System Commander keeps its files in a dos partition.  

Although these programs (Partition Magic and the ethernet utilities)
can be run from a dos boot floppy, you have to be sure you've got
them around for later use (reinstalling a trashed mbr, for example).
The free boot managers that come with FreeBSD can also be installed
from dos; I think this is the only way osbsbeta can be installed.
As I recall fips, a free partitioning utility, is also a dos program.

Finally, most computer professionals in today's world are going
to be working with networks on which some computers run some
version of MSWindows, or programs whose output will be accessed
by computers running these operating systems.  So it makes sense
to be able to handle the MS world as well as the unix world.

WebMin needs Perl Net_SSLeay to use SSL. Unfortunately Net_SSLeay coughs
and dies when building. I have tried w/ and w/o the  -rsaref  to no
effect.  I am thinking that it is that the port openSSL is for 0.9.4 and
Net_SSLeay can't actually deal with this. Or that it is because the
binary for openssl is in /usr/local and the libraries are in
/usr/local/openssl and it is getting confused.  Any thoughts?


su-2.02# cd Net_SSLeay.pm-1.05
su-2.02#  ./Makefile.PL   -rsaref   -t /usr/local/

You have OpenSSL-0.9.4 installed in /usr/local/

The mailing lists require that your IP address has a reverse-ptr

Interesting.  I had initially built the kernel with...

# added by kyler
options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
#options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT

but as you can see, the default to accept has been commented out - and yes,
the kernel was rebuilt and installed.

I was afraid you were going to say that.  Nothing is getting logged.

Hi,
I have a Pentium III, 376MB, 3x9.1GB SCSI disk box that I colocate at an
ISP. Recently I had problems connecting and found that the boc would keep
rebooting after trying to sync devices. The tech guys went into single user
mode and started basic stuff so I could remote telnet and fix things.

1. I found that SCSI disk #1 was not responding. #0 is ok, #2 is ok, #1 is
gone. I had web and user homes in this disk.
2. I removed the scsi#1's entry from fstab
3. cretaed dirs for user home and web home in #2, and linked the original
names to the new dirs, and unzipped backups.
4. I restarted the box.

Here is what I find problems now:
5. Mail to virtual host gives error.
   any mail to USER@VIRTHOST1.com being sent gives this error

   554 MX list for VIRTHOST1.com. points back to MAINDOMAIN.com
   554 <USER@VIRTHOST1.com>... Local configuration error

   The MX record has not been updated recently, and before the disk crash
   things were just great.

6. I did restart the box, and I can reach the web sites of the virtual
domains. I can nslookup them all. And the box is responding to all IPs.

	Please see the extract from logs at the end.

Questions and Need-Help areas:
Q1. Should the MX record of a virtual host point to itself or to
    the primary?
Q2. Since that updation takes time to take effect, is there
    anything in sendmail I can configure to accept mails for the
    virtual hosts as a quick fix?
Q3. Is qmail any better than sendmail in this regard?

Q4. After the device da1 is ignored for not finding the disk, 
    why does sendmail give error about fill_fd?
    I have created links to the web and user homes, why should any software
    care for the actual device where the names are mounted/linked?
Q5. How can I find remotely if the disk failed or the adapter cable or
    something? I mean I bought the three SCSI disks same time, same place.


Any help will be highly appreciated. Please respond to shashi@WEBSI.com
since that is the only email address that seems to working currently.

Thanks in Advance,
Shashi

I have apache built to accept shared objects.  Traditionally, I have
had problems integrating the 'httpdapy' (python) module with some
of the other modules --- it requires posix threads.  Several other
things (like php/mysql) don't like apache compiled with that
(Besides... apache compiled with posix threads seems flakey --- locks
up).

Anyways, my question is: what are the reprocussions of trying to allow 
a .so to use -pthread while the application that loads the .so at
runtime is compiled without -pthread?

Dave.

To quote the web page.

"At this point you should reboot your system with your new kernel. /etc/rc
will automatically run the appropriate commands to create the initial quota
files for all of the quotas you enabled in /etc/fstab, so there is no need
to manually create any zero length quota files. "

You have not does this.  You either rebooted before editing the /etc/rc.conf
and/or /etc/fstab file, or you just haven't rebooted at all.  :P

I think the building of the locate database was revised to provide
additional flexibility and security, so that the location of
some files need not be reported in the database. 

The building of the database is controlled by the variables in
the rc.locate file, which notes that if the path locate uses
begins where locate cannot read, it produces empty databases.
If users' home directories are 750, their files will not be
recorded in the database either, which is probably desirable
for a machine used by more than one person.

It's possible to build more than one database, and to move
them around, and to use a specific locate database using the
-d switch.  The option to write the database to a particular
file is included in rc.locate.

	For future reference, this growing trend of referring to the subject
line in the body of th email just plain sucks. If you don't care enough
to write out a coherent question in the email body why should I care
enough to answer?

	This is covered in the ssh documentation, and at great length in the
mail archives. The short answer is, you should be able to use an ssh1
client with an ssh2 server, but many people have reported
incompatibilities. 

Good luck,

Doug

Okay,

        I'm starting to get excited now because I think someone from the 
Samba lists has pushed me in the right direction here. To recap:

I can't ping my win machine (192.168.1.2) from my FreeBSD box (192.168.1.3) 
and vice versa. Both subnet masks are 255.255.255.0 and ipfw is not running. 
I loaded the dos config program for the card on my BSD machine (by booting 
off DOS floppy first ;) ) and noticed that the mac address is 
00:a0:cc:36:16:5e

HA!!!

'ifconfig -a' says:

pn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

     10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP

That mac address is wrong!! I'm salivating now. Soooooo, how do I change the 
mac address to the correct one? I tried

ifconfig pn0 address <mac address>

and

arp -S pn0 <mac address>

to no avail. I'm reading furiously on the man pages and feel like I can 
alllllmoooossstt
touch it. Just a little nudge more of help 'o' gods of the lists?

Alex

P.S.- are mac addresses dynamic? Do they change with every boot?

I'm sorry to say I don't know how you would change how freebsd sees your mac
address.  I don't think you can.  It may be that the pn driver is not
compatable with your card, as you suggested in another posting.

man 4 pn, says that it's compatable with the following cards:

...PCI ethernet adapters and embedded controllers based on the Lite-On
82c168 and 82c169 fast ethernet controller chips. This includes the LinkSys
LNE100TX, the Bay Networks Netgear FA310TX revision D1, the Matrox Networks
FastNIC 10/100, certain adapters manufactured by D-Link and Trendware, and
various other commodity fast ethernet cards.

I can tell you that mac addresses are NOT dynamic.  To my knowledge they are
hardwired into the card.

Several of us wrote up comments on this the last time someone asked,
within the last six months.  The mailing list archives should have
those discussions.  [But the short version is: if you haven't already
read RFC 1918, FreeBSD may well be *better* for your purposes than a
completely compliant router.  But I'd still recommend reading it.]

Yup, I guess nslint is expecting the standard situation of both forward
and reverse lookups, so it reports the missing PTR entries. For VH,
reverse resolving isn't necessary - the user either types the URL or,
rarely, the IP address directly - so only the name needs resolving.

The bit I wasn't sure about was the "already in use" messages, but you
have eased my mind over this one.

Thank you, all, for your advice.
Ric

Dear All,

Thank you for replying. I am away till Wednesday, so will not find out
immediately from Netgear whether the hub supports full duplex. However,
since it is a hub and not a switch, Dan Nelson's advice that hubs do not
support full duplex may yet prevail (the reason why the docs that came
with the hub never mention full/half duplex?).

The issue of full /half duplex only came to light when I noticed that
the windows clients had defaulted to full duplex, yet those on both the
FreeBSD boxes defaulted to half duplex.
So my question is more about optimisation than repairing anything that's
not strictly broken.

With the ifconfig command I could fiddle with the settings, but I have
no way of consistently measuring network performance, collisions, etc.
All I can tell is that there are very few collision instances on the hub
(leds on the front panel) during file transfers, internet access, etc,
so I guess the current configuration is OK. I recently replaced a 3com
3c905b (10M/s) with the FA310TX: with the 3c905 the number of
collissions seemed horrendous even during small file transfers, so the
network has improved considerably since the change.

No need to reply. I have enough info now to go on.

Thanks again,
Ric

Those options look ok.
Just to be on the safe side why don't you take out the default_to_accept and re-build the kernel.

The only thing I have which you did not listed is
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=50 #Limit verbosity

But that shouldnt' be the reason why you are not getting anything logged. It wouldn't hurt to add it 
anyway.

I am running out of suggestions.
Try with an "open" firewall. Then ad a rule from a shell
ipfw add ## allow log from any to any

Make ## a number lower than the existing "allow any to any" rule.

Greetings,

I'm new to FreeBSD, and have recently upgraded to 3.3-STABLE.

I'm having a mail problem. I believe it's a user config error, but
nothing I've read seems to clue me in on this.

I'm using @home, and my hostname is c583119-a.potlnd.or.home.com
My FreeBSD userid is fjb, and I'm trying to sendmail to intel.com

When I use mutt, or mail to send mail, I get the following error back.

Any thoughts on how to proceed to resolve this are much appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Regards,

Francis

Well, from the 'Net:

	c583119-a.potlnd.or.home.com

doesn't exist. Either relay your email thru' your ISP's mail server,
or get your ISP to put in appropriate DNS entries for your hostname.

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply!
Actually, I have rebooted after editing /etc/rc.conf and
/etc/fstab.  I even checked the startup message and
confirmed that quota was turned on.  When I do edquota
as the web page said, it gave me a blank quota file, for
example:
edquota -u tester

Quotas for user tester:
<blank file>

I have tried tying in the settings (invalid or valid), and
save and exit, but when I do quota -v tester, the same
message popped up:

Disk quotas for user tester (uid 1001): none

I have also tried rebooting right after edquota, and same
time happen.  When I go back into edquota, the settings
are all gone regardless of rebooting.  I have tried touch
quota.user and quota.group in /root, /usr/ since I have seen
the man page talking about it.  (Actually, it just says that
the quota.user and quota.group are files that are supposed
to be in /root)

I am sorta running out of ideas on things I could do.
Thank you in advance for any help!

When utilising an internal jetdirect port in a HP4000 laser printer we
are getting a sheet that follows every print request with the following
information.

User : xxxxxx
Host : xxx.my.domain
Class : xxx.my.domain
Job : stdin

I have used x's to signify client specific information.

Despite Windows being an inferior operating system it doesn't print this
page.

What is the solution to this problem to bring about a very happy FreeBSD
user.

There are 2 ways to do this. One is to tweak your /etc/sendmail.cf
so that mail will be forwarded to your ISP's mail-relay. I can't
recall off-hand just which flags to use, but if you look in
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf, there's a whole section on using
m4 macros to config /etc/sendmail.cf.

The other way involves configuring your mail-agent (pine/mutt) so 
that the SMTP server it talks to is your ISP's mail-relay (get
your ISP to detail this if you haven't got the info).

Cheers.

Telnet to your jetdirect port; then type in:

Just for the sake of argument, lets go through the steps 1 by 1 and makes
sure we're at the same place.

1. Compiled a new kernel and installed it with "options QUOTA" in the config
file?
2. Added "enable_quotas=YES" in /etc/rc.conf?
3. Added "check_quotas=YES" in /etc/rc.conf?
4. Added userquota and/or groupqouta to the device line in /etc/fstab?  ( I
see you did that but I'm going through all the steps. )

	AHH, I see one problem.  Your fstab.  Don't put spaces between the
options and I'll bet that's your problem.

# Device		Mountpoint	Fstype	Options		Dump
Pass#
/dev/wd0s1b		none		swap	sw			0
0
/dev/wd0s1a		/			ufs		rw
1		1
/dev/wd0s1e		/usr			ufs
rw,userquota,groupquota	2		2
/dev/wcd0c		/cdrom		cd9660	ro,noauto	0
0
proc			/proc		procfs	rw			0
0

If this is something stupid your mailer did, than I'll move on.

5. Restart.

Now, if the above 5 steps aren't working try the following (as root)
quotaon /usr
quotacheck -v /usr

If it still doesn't work, report back.

BTW, the quota.user and quota.group files are not in "/root" they are in the
ROOT of the partition where the quotas are enabled.  In your case /usr
directory is the root of that partition.

Good luck,
-Chris

Hi

Does FreeBSD have dynamicly loadable kernel modules like Linux?

How do I check to see if a certain driver is installed for a certain 
piece of hardware?

I know that the xircom driver is now part of 3.3 Release, but it's 
not recognising either a CE2 or a CEM33. Might it be "disabled". Do I 
have to recompile the kernel or can I just adjust a kernel conf file?

I'd like to know, in general, how you find out if a certain piece of 
hardware is supported, and if so how to get it's driver installed and 
working. Any clues?

Also, would the fact that I disabled all networking and comms drivers 
when booting up from the 3.3 install cd, have any bearing on the fact 
these network cards are not being recognised?

Also, is it likely to be a problem if I have both the CE2 (ethernet 
only) and the CEM33 (ethernet + modem) cards connected at the same 
time?

Please include jesse@va.com.au in reply as I'm not subscribed to 
freebsd-questions.

cheers

jesse

Yes. We call them KLDs. Kernel loadable devices.

'man kld' tells all the things I would type.

The kernel conf file in FreeBSD is equivalent to the .config file in
Redhat. The build of a kernel reads in to build a monolithic kernel.

If there is a module for teh xircom, it will not be necessary to rebuild
and reboot.

The kernel.conf file should be either in / or /boot afaik,
you want to remove the "di <driver_name>" lines for the drivers you 
want to become re-enabled.

Are you using the -auto option to ppp, or the -ddial one?  When I used

	% ppp -auto my_isp

to connect to the net, it waited until some program tried to connect to the
network before the link came up.

Can you be more specific, like posting your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf so that we do
not try guessing what's wrong?

The answer was in the rc.conf

I noticed that FBSD fdisk sometimes does not reserve the whole track
for the boot block area (i,e, before 1st partition), while DOS fdisk
does. This apparently screws up track/cyclinder boundaries for the
rest of partitions and various stranges errors can ensue in  different
OSes. I don't know if that is easily fixable or not, but a fix is
certainly very desirable.

Dear FreeBSD leaders,

A couple of weeks ago, I sent a message to the person listed as the Chicago Usergroup leader inquiring about the Chicago user group.  I did not get a reply (it turns out that he had a hard disk crash and lost the message).  I sent a followup message and copied freebsd.org because I did not know if the CHicago group was defunct.  I received this extremely rude reply from the person at FreeBSD.

I would suggest that you have some otherr person making public contacts as this person evidently does not have any idea on how to behave with people.  He also did not answer my question as I had obviously already seen the web page he directed me to and had already tried to contact my local group.

Dave Angulo

Hello,

So, I went and returned that Linksys LNE100TXII NIC and bought a 3Com 
3C905C-TX-M NIC instead. It seems to have been a bad move because when I 
compile "xl" into my kernel, the card doesn't even show up during boot. 
Again, the dos diags that came with it have no problem seeing it, but FreeBSD 
can't. This is getting really old really fast. Plug and Play in the bios is 
set to auto, then I tried manual, then I tried recompiling my kernel, then I 
read all the archives, then searched up and down for a driver. Nothing. Does 
anyone have this card and have success using it? It doesn't even come up! 
Grrrrrr.

Alex

Glad you got it to work.
don't forget the deny log and allow log from any to any hints.
The "simple" set of rules will bump you into lots of issues, specially if you have a "deny all from any 
to any" at the end. I don't particularly like the open firewall setting (i.e. allow anything which is not 
trapped by a rule) because this may lead to open holes which one may not be aware.

Good luck!
Now that you got that working is only the beginning...

David,

Each local users group is an independant entity. These groups are not 
sanctioned or blessed by the FreeBSD project proper. That said, the
reply you recieved was not called for at all. This kind of behavior does
nothing to help the group as a whole but is out of the control of the
project leaders.

*That* said, you just spammed all these random people who you considered
to be FreeBSD leaders with an unwanted email over what really ammounts
to a personal squabble. Please refrain from doing this.

What exactly are you entering into your kernel config file for the nic? 
If you have "device xl" as you stated above, change it to "device xl0". 
I'm running two 3C905's in my proxy system and they work just fine.  To
do that I added two devices to my kernel config: xl0 and xl1.  I also
have plug and pray disabled in my BIOS.  I *never* use pnp.

Hello,
As someone who uses FreeBSD as a dedicated router, I try and follow any
discussions on routing very closely. I dont recall any such discussion you
refer to i.e. issues pertaining to routing and RFC non publically
advertised prefixes.  Can you ellaborate, or point the list in the right
direction ?  I am very interested in finding out what I missed. I searched
through all of questions for the last year and could not find any messages
that dealt with routing and any special way FreeBSD handles or does not
handle non publically routed IP space.

Thanks,

	---Mike

I was thinking of installing GNOME with Freebsd. And when I did a search on 
"ports" for GNOME I see 10 different things to install on BSD.

So do I have to install each one manually on a particular order etc etc or 
is their a one file that can do it for you?

How do I mount the CD-ROM drive. On boot up it says atapi instead of wd0 for 
instance. I need to know how to mount this type of CD-ROM.

mount /cdrom

is the most basic way to do it. It gets a little more complicated if this 
doesn't work, but if you are using the GENERIC kernel and it's seeing the 
cd-rom, this should work.

Hi all,

One bit of information may prove useful here.  I found that my ide (atapi)
cdrom would only mount under 3.2 if I (re-)booted the machine with a disc
in the drive.  I think Soren has a fix in -current as of a few months ago.
best,

Woody

Hi all,

I am sorry, but I have forgotten whether you are running 3.3 or 3.2.
I believe the 'C' driver is new to 3.3, and does not exist in 3.2 
 Thanks,

Woody

Is there anything for FreeBSD like scsi-idle for Linux?  I would like to
spin down scsi drives that aren't accessed very often and have them spin
back up automatically when needed.

I used ppp.conf well in 3.2-19990815-STABLE. However, after i upgraded to 
3.3-RELEASE, it didn't work. I checked /var/log/ppp.log and it connected
to ISP but didn't add default router. So i did 'route add default 123.456.789.012' by hand. Of course, 123.456.789.012 is HISADDR. After 'route add', i could
use PPP connection. What's wrong?

  I ran 'ppp -auto hitel' in 3.2. Some clue? Help me...


----- ppp.conf -----
default:
 set device /dev/modem
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 set speed 115200
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"

hitel:
 set phone 12345
 set login "\\-\\-\\-\\- 3 \"ID :\" ABCD : 12345 ENTER \"\" H: \"internet 34\""
 set timeout 120
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR

>>am sorry, but I have forgotten whether you are running 3.3 or 3.2.
>>I believe the 'C' driver is new to 3.3, and does not exist in 3.2 

I'm currently running 3.2-RELEASE. Do I need to completely update to 3.3 
(RELEASE, STABLE, ?) or can I just grab the sources for the card and compile 
them into my 3.2 kernel? Also, just to make sure, those sources are 

if_xl.c
if_xlreg.h

right?

Thanks!

Alex

Change hostname in /etc/rc.conf or the like. See /etc/defaults/rc.conf for
an example.

hey hey

First off, I would love to thank everyone responsible for FreeBSD - it's
amazing!

That said, I was working at creating a custom kernel for my system.  Upon
compiling it, I restarted the machine, and hoped all would work out OK.
Since it was my first attempt, naturally there was a small error, so I had
to reload the prior kernel in order to get back in.

Problem is that the old kernel doesn't work!  When I installed FreeBSD, I
used the configuration utility on the boot floppies to set up my machine
specifics.  That way it only looked for the equipment I had, and nothing
more.  It would seem, however, that this was done via a file alongside a
generic kernel, because when I try to load the original kernel, it's the
generic one and goes about checking for every known device.  This is what
prevents me from booting up.  As it scans for some of the devices, the
machine locks, and never recovers.  In the /boot directory, there's a
kernel.conf file, which is what I assume made the generic kernel originally
only look for certain devices, but when I unload the new kernel to load its
replacement, it unloads the link to the kernel.conf too.  Is there a way I
can specify that I still want it to use kernel.conf with the backed up
kernel?  Or is there a way to get it not to look for ALL known devices?

My solution to this would be to reinstall, only I can't resort to
reinstalling EVERY time the kernel modifications fail. :(  Any suggestions?

Aaron

Hey Arron,

When you boot it will say to press any key to bypass the kernel while it 
counts down. When you press a key it will drop you to a prompt like

disk1s1a:>

at this type:

unload      (unloads the currently loaded kernel)

then type:

load kernel.old     (loads the last kernel that was replaced by the install 
of the new                      kernel - e.g. the working kernel. This is of 
course provided that
                    you didn't do "make install" of your bad kernel twice, in 
which
                    case the only thing you could load would be 
kernel.GENERIC,
                    which is the very original kernel that the system first 
booted with)

then type:

boot            (boots off of the currently loaded kernel)

This should work. Good luck. Take a peek at your root directory after and you 
will see 

kernel
kernel.old
kernel.GENERIC

in there. After you make your working kernel, copy it to kernel.MYKERNEL in 
case you build another bogus kernel later.

Alex

Does anyone have a clue how to configure RealPlayer on a LAN machine
that accesses the internet via a FreeBSD gateway box with permanent modem
dialup link. The LAN boxes run various operating systems, including Win98 /
Win2000 / BSD / Solaris etc and every one has a "real" IP address. The ISP
end runs FreeBSD & has a squid proxy for http.

I've tried every possible combination & prmutation of Realplayer settings,
also emailed the company for advice, but not getting anywhere with it. The
ONLY response I get when I try accessing a  site with Realplayer is "unable
to establish a connection with server"

Hi all:

bash, while starting in my home directory, shows the expanded
path-name in the beginning:

door:/usr/home/antiponde $

while PS1 is set as following to '\h:\w\$ '

Typing "cd" changes the prompt to "door:~/ $", which is a nicer
prompt. How can I make bash to display the short version of the
current directory from the beginning?

I works for "root", though: when I "su", and run bash, I get
"main:~/ #" right away, as apposed to "main:/root/ #".

Could someone point me in the right direction, please?

I've not vely old motherboard (Asus HX chipset 1996 year), witch BIOS
support IDE HDD spin down, long time I used Win95 HDD correctly stopped,
but when I installed FreeBSD that was 3.0-RELASE, my HDDs work without
break, that's not good.

So my question is: How can I spin down them.
Thanks.

...sounds like the default inactive timeout value.  If memory servers me correctly,
this is set to 300 seconds (5mins) in the sample script.  Change the "set timeout"
line in your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf to something more of your liking.

Thanks! I may have more questions yet but for the time being, I need to read
more on the firewall rules.  The FreeBSD box communicates well but the NT
box can't get through.  At least the reasons why are logged for me!  ...back
to the books.

Use \W instead of \w .

I don't see why. I would think that spin-up and spin-down causes more
wear than consistant spinning.

In any case, you'd need APM support in your kernel. I'm not sure how
stable the APM support in your release of FreeBSD is, and I'm not sure
you really need it, given my comment about wear above.

Sheldon.

Actually no. Many "Creative Labs" ATAPI CDROMs don't fully support the
ATAPI command-set. I should know, since I have two ATAPI drives that
don't work with FreeBSD, both Creative Labs rubbish.

Your advice about the jumpers is sound -- also, make sure that the drive
isn't configured as a slave on a channel that has no master. If you're
convinced that the hardware is configured correctly, throw it away. :-)

Just so that you don't continue to spread misinformation, whether or not
the kernel identifies the drive has nothing to do with whether the
/cdrom mountpoint exists and has an entry in /etc/fstab .

I had a similar problem to the original poster.

What appeared to be happening in my case was that client connections were failing in mid 
transfer. This can apparently leave ftpd in an indefinite wait. I was advised to try the 
following to clear out these connections:

# sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive=1

This seems to have done the job. I believe it kills idle connections after 4 hours.


From man ftpd:

     -T      A client may also request a different timeout period; the maximum
             period allowed may be set to timeout seconds with the -T option.
             The default limit is 2 hours.

     -t      The inactivity timeout period is set to timeout seconds (the de-
             fault is 15 minutes).

The clients I've used don't automatically up the timeout from the value set by -t, and so 
connections normally timeout after 15 minutes. Even if the client does increase the 
timeout, it is constrained by the -T setting, which defaults to 2 hours. From George's 
original post, you can see connections still alive that are days old. I assume he hadn't 
changed either timeout setting for ftpd.
