I've searched the archives, and finally figured out that not all features of login.conf(5) working right now! Hff, I'm a bit relieved, since I spent several hours trying to make it work! Why it's not stated in man? This would save time of lot's of ppl, IMHO ;-) OK, no the main part. There are pam.conf and auth.conf files that supposed to be dealing with PAM stuff. However, there's no `PAM' word in Handbook (tried using grep ;-), same with FAQ, and man's are barely helpful. Moreover, there are no options in rc.conf (except process accounting, but this is _not_ PAM) that would be related to authenitification/security/accounting. Under Linux, whenever I log in, there are always PAM entries in /var/log/messages. No the case of FreeBSD though :-( Where can I read about PAM in FreeBSD? Is it supported at all in 3.4-R? ./danfe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 23 1:23:24 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from gershwin.tera.com (gershwin.tera.com [207.224.230.28]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A79B914DD0 for ; Sun, 23 Jan 2000 01:23:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kline@tera.com) Received: from tera.com (athena.sea.tera.com [207.224.230.169]) by gershwin.tera.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id BAA18038 for ; Sun, 23 Jan 2000 01:23:21 -0800 (PST) Received: by tera.com (8.8.8+Sun/SMI-SVR4) id BAA03752; Sun, 23 Jan 2000 01:23:20 -0800 (PST) From: kline@tera.com (Gary Kline) Message-Id: <200001230923.BAA03752@tera.com> Subject: set blinkon0 in gvim To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 23 Jan 100 01:23:19 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL23 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Can anyone clue me in on (1) setting colors (for C or C++ syntax) in vim, or (2) turning off the blinking cursor in gvim?

If you haven't installed any of the optional shells from the ports collection (zsh, tcsh, bash), use this command: exec sh -E That will enable history and line editing features using the cursor keys. If that's all that you want, there's no need to install another shell. FreeBSD's sh is fine for that. Otherwise, I'd recommend that you install zsh from the ports collection, which has a lot of additional useful features.

There is a great mailing list for Vim which would be more appropriate for these questions, since Vim is a port, but here's part of my .vimrc: " turn on color :set t_Co=3D8 :set t_Sf=3D=1B[3%dm :set t_Sb=3D=1B[4%dm :syntax on --=20 James Bailie =20 http://members.home.net/jazzturk =20 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 23 2:49:32 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from www.freegaypix.com (www.freegaypix.com [216.65.3.226]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E9F8B14DBF for ; Sun, 23 Jan 2000 02:49:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from webmaster@jmsinternet.com) Received: from jasons-pc (we-24-30-101-160.we.mediaone.net [24.30.101.160]) by www.freegaypix.com (8.9.3/8.9.2) with ESMTP id CAA81045 for ; Sun, 23 Jan 2000 02:50:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from webmaster@jmsinternet.com) Message-Id: <4.2.2.20000123021745.00db0f00@mail.sirius.com> X-Sender: jms@mail.jmsinternet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.2.2 Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 02:21:40 -0800 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: JMS Internet Subject: Kernel error log Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG My system went down recently, and it has been very sluggish for the past few months, just during the past few days the errors following this paragraph are appearing in my log file, this is for one day only...

On my computer(11.11.11.11) I got "mount request denied from 22.22.22.22 for /cdrom" On the other computer(22.22.22.22) I got the message "Error mounting 11.11.11.11:/cdrom on /dist: no such file or directory" I mounted the CD on my computer and tried again, but I got the same result. I appreciate your help.

What I did was: - cvsup the sources of 4.0-CURRENT. to my regret I had not saved the sources of 3.4-STABLE, and I'll probably need another cvsup (of 3.4-stable this time) tonight. - changed to single user mode - change into /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and try to compile the new kernel, after I copied GENERIC to LOCAL and edited it. This failed because my (old) /usr/sbin/config does not recognize the format of the kernel config file. It barfs at some options because it thinks they should have double quotes. - after that I changed into /usr/src and tried to 'make buildworld' followed by an installworld. Silly as I am, I didn't use make buildworld && make installworld but in my haste, I typed make buildworld ; make installworld This morning I found my machine writing messages into syslog about sh(1) dumping core, again and again. This was probably crond's foul attempts to run commands with the new sh. Now I'm stuck with a partially upgraded system. I'm thinking of re-installing the base system tonight, but since I'm determined to move to -current, I'll probably keep a copy of my /usr/src from -current in some other partition ;) -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."

I don't recall changing anything since my last reboot, and have been running 3.3 for a couple months now. I checked in "dmesg" and pulled out the following lines, which seem to be related, based upon what I've found so far in the archives: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz Timecounter "TSC" frequency 167046505 Hz The TSC line reflecting the correct processor speed, the i8254 line still not explained well based upon my searches.

Dear Giorgios Keramidas, probably, you might want to have a look at http://www.polstra.com and at its CVSup documentation (FAQ etc.); in particular, you might want to have a look at the tutorial on "make world" found at http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world : grab all you feel like doing from this directory ;-)) I am reading this stuff because I am going to do a "trial" upgrade in a while. That is, I am going to create an "experimental" FreeBSD partition, install (ie practically clone) my 3.3-Release on it, and then CVSup and upgrade to 4.0 **for the fun of it**. My "production" partition will most probably be upgraded ... via the CDs ;-)) I hope this will help. N.B. my_fake_antispam_domain =3D=3D=3D> neomedia.it to e-mail to me.

I hope somebody can help me out, here... I'm not entirely sure what the matter is. It seems that with wu-ftpd (or the stock ftpd for that matter), passive mode through my router attempts to port on the wrong IP address (i.e., ftpd sends its IP address on 10.x.x.x instead of its public IP on 139.x.x.x). So, passive transfers work fine on the localhost/local network, but not from anywhere else. (Non-passive transfers, on the other hand, work fine). As I mentioned, ftpd sends the wrong IP address to remote hosts for passive transfers: ftp> get some.file 227 Entering passive mode (10,0,0,2,192,0) Which, of course, doesn't work. But: ftp> passive Passive mode off. ftp> get some.file 200 PORT command successful. ... and the file transfers I added the following to /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess: passive address 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.0/8 passive address 139.142.245.100 0.0.0.0/0 ...and restarted inetd, with no change. 10.0.0.2 is still being sent as the passive ip address. Is there something special I have to do to enable ftpaccess? Or is it just this passive keyword I'm having problems with? I've enabled logging (and turned it on in syslog.conf), but haven't seen any unusual messages. From /etc/inetd.conf: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l Which points to wu-ftpd (Compiled Dec 7 on 3.4-STABLE). ftpd correctly sends the wu-ftpd header, version 2.6.0.

I switched my ata66 disk to the udma66 controller, and it just boost my system. It seems not only that the controller is supported, but the UDMA66 is also very well managed, at least far better than what I've seen on other OS and controllers. All the transfers are now *faster* than ever, almost twice the speed with big files. I was already happy with the 4.0 speed enhancements, but it sounds like the incoming FreeBSD will definitely be a nice release ! Thanks to everyone for making such a nice OS !

Using HP-deskjet-690C everything print well, until between one job and another, weirdness start, first I get a message telling me : lp filter "f" terminated, (termsig=100) lp job could not be printed . the nice thing is the job is already printer, without trouble. then, Sporadically, (i.e. not constantly) the printer stops before the next job, and the form feed starts blinking, no problem in the paper tray or paper. next, I try to put it off, it refuses, so I shutdown the power button, and restarts the printer. and then it goes off, printing scrambled things, and wastes enormous amounts of paper, each with some ambigious incoherent letters. I have to ; power off the printer to save my coronaries. lpc stop lp rm lock (in the printer spool directory) ps -aux | grep lpd kill lpd by id or killall lpd restart lpd lpc restart lp and the circle goes on again, prints one, two, or few jobs, and again starts this brain storming experience. any clue whats wrong with that. my setup is pretty much standard, and config files are defaults.

So, looking at "dmesg", I see: ahc0: rev 0x01 int a irq 11 on pci0.17.0 ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs And further down: sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 7) da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 4094MB (8386000 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 522C) da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 8 lun 0 da1: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da1: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit) da1: 8681MB (17780058 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) changing root device to da0s1a da1: cannot find label (no disk label) da1s1: cannot find label (no disk label) With those last two lines repeating repeatedly (most likely due to my accessing sysinstall).

Situation: Installed FreeBSD (3.3) on a 4.3 gig HD. Works fine. Got new HD (17.3 gig). Have made 17.3 gig primary master and installed MS Workstation on it. 4.3 gig drive (w/BSD) is now primary slave--the MS fdisk shows the partition on the 4.3 as still ACTIVE. Of course, the first partition on the 17.3 gig drive is also active, but *it* is the master. QUESTION 1: Can I alter the NT boot loader to boot BSD off of the slave HD? If so, do I need to make the BSD partition on the slave HD non-active? If so, how (the MS fdisk doesn't work)? Here is what I've added to my boot.ini, and it doesn't work: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\XXXXX="FreeBSD" In place of the XXXXX I have tried "boot" and I have tried "kernel" (no quotes of course). I get an NT error that says "NT couldn't start because ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupt." What directory or file do I need to point the NTLDR to, if this will even work? Also, do I have to use NT's Disk Administrator to assign it a drive letter instead of using an ARC path, and point NT's boot loader to the FreeBSD startup file via a drive letter? (In other words, like you have to do with Win95/98 when you dual boot with NT.) QUESTION 2: If I start over, and just install NT Workstation on the 17.3 gig, then install FreeBSD on the 17.3 gig, what happens if I install, for example, NT Server *after* that. In other words, if you don't choose FreeBSD from the FreeBSD boot loader, do you get dumped into the NT boot menu? That's kind of what I'm hoping... Or, would NT Server get added to the FreeBSD boot loader menu? Thanks, all. You guys that answer questions routinely are awesome.

NT doesn't care what disk it lives on. All it wants is a very small FAT partition that physically resides on your first hard drive under the 1 Gb limit. I always make a small FAT partition at the beginning of my first hard drive for this purpose as I boot 4 OSs from my boot.ini. If there is no FAT partition on your first hard drive and you have access to a copy of Partition Magic, it is easy to slice off a 100 Mb or so. Version 4.0 and above of Partition Magic recognizes and does not mangle FreeBSD partitions. If you don't have Partition Magic, there is FIPS (I believe it is in the tools section of BSD on the CDROM or the FTP site) and also Partition Resizer at http://members.xoom.com/Zeleps/ I personally didn't think fips was worth the bother and haven't tried partition resizer so YMMV. If you keep the disks the way they are, make sure boot.ini, ntldr, and ntdetect.com live in that small FAT partition on the first drive. Modify boot.ini as follows: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\etc This assumes NT lives on your second IDE hard drive (rdisk of 1) and on the first partition of that second drive (change the partition number according to where NT is on the second drive). This should keep NT happy. To boot BSD, (and I'm quoting the FAQ) : Q: How can I use the NT loader to boot FreeBSD? A: This procedure is slightly different for 2.2.x and 3.x (with the 3-stage boot) systems. The general idea is that you copy the first sector of your native root FreeBSD partition into a file in the DOS/NT partition. Assuming you name that file something like c:\bootsect.bsd (inspired by c:\bootsect.dos), you can then edit the c:\boot.ini file to come up with something like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows NT" C:\BOOTSECT.BSD="FreeBSD" C:\="DOS" For 2.2.x systems this procedure assumes that DOS, NT, FreeBSD, or whatever have been installed into their respective fdisk partitions on the same disk. In my case DOS & NT are in the first fdisk partition and FreeBSD is in the second. I also installed FreeBSD to boot from its native partition, not the disk MBR. Mount a DOS-formatted floppy (if you've converted to NTFS) or the FAT partition, under, say, /mnt. dd if=/dev/rda0a of=/mnt/bootsect.bsd bs=512 count=1 Reboot into DOS or NT. NTFS users copy the bootsect.bsd and/or the bootsect.lnx file from the floppy to C:\. Modify the attributes (permissions) on boot.ini with: attrib -s -r c:\boot.ini Edit to add the appropriate entries from the example boot.ini above, and restore the attributes: attrib +s +r c:\boot.ini If FreeBSD is booting from the MBR, restore it with the DOS ``fdisk'' command after you reconfigure them to boot from their native partitions. For FreeBSD 3.x systems the procedure is somewhat simpler. If FreeBSD is installed on the same disk as the NT boot partition copy /boot/boot1 to c:\bootsect.bsd or if FreeBSD is installed on a different disk copy /boot/boot0 to c:\bootsect.bsd. Then edit c:\bootsect.ini as described earlier. Good luck and enjoy a multi-boot system.

So your fstab and /dev/ directories are going to reflect that and get really confused when you are booting from wd1 instead of wd0. As for the boot issues, I think dual boot has been covered in depth in a number of places for Windows. You might try scanning the mailing list archives. Here is one email that looks like it might interest you: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1711639+1712974+/usr/local/www/db/text/1999/freebsd-questions/19990808.freebsd-questions The key words I used to search the archives were : "dual boot nt". Got a ton of matches.

On each machine there's a script that periodically updates its sysinfo text file to the local disk, and the machine with the web server runs a script that periodically copies these local sysinfo files to the www folder through NFS (all disks are mounted on the web server). Now, the problem is that if one machine happen to be down, I get a bundle of error mails from cron since one of the disks it tries to copy from is not mounted. Is there some way to disable error mails from cron? Or could I incorporate some kind of "if the file exists"-check in the script? Thanks in advance, /Daniel F.

We need to know what sort of problems you were faced with. I.e., what error messages did you see? What, in detail, did you try to do that led you to the "failed" upgrade? If you haven't already done so, you should read the instructions and warnings in UPGRADE.TXT. A cvs update from 3.3 to 3.4 should work, though, as little has changed that could possibly break the process. I've gone from 3.3 to 3.4 myself. Read the handbook section on staying -STABLE and "making the world" for CVS instructions and sample supfiles. Perhaps it was a configuration error on your part?

I haven't received a response from my initial message so I thought I'd re-post the question: Whenever I log in to my FreeBSD box via my Win98 NN (Network Neighborhood), everything is all good... until I reboot. If I leave the network connection to my FreeBSD box through NN open and reboot my computer via CTRL-ALT-DEL, the SMBD process continues to run, and I therefore can't log back in via NN until I log into the FreeBSD box and kill the offending (stray) process. I've tried adding "keepalive = 60" in my smb.conf file, but that doesn't do it for me. This is getting really annoying as I've got several computers on the network and I'm constantly having to kill SMBD processes because nobody understands what Start > Shutdown is for. hahaha...

To make a cron entry completely mute, add >/dev/null 2>&1 to the end fo the cron line, or to make a whole bunch of lines mute, add the line MAILTO="" before the entries.

I am sure there are hundreds of thousands or people all over this world that
would completely disagree with you. I am running several machines powered by FreeBSD and have had NO
problems, zero, zilch.... hmmm... did you ever consider maybe it is because you are too illiterate to read up
on the operating system and understand how to set it up? or maybe if the MAN pages were filled with classy
adjectives like "crock of shit", you would be able to comprehend them? if you are too incompetent (as you
have just demonstrated... spell checker maybe??) to setup FreeBSD or "all the other crap" then stick with
Microsoft, you guys were suited for each other.

ps - It's free. don't complain. =P

From the start of thing I wanted to try a Unix platform out,
so I tried linux different flavors, all crap to me
I try Fbsd out "hay this looks pretty nice, put to gether with a little more thought,"
Well the father I get into playing with it the more this shit sucks.
I buy the cdrom v.3.3 of fbsd, all go well, compiling the kernel works unlike linux, so I was very happy to say the  least.
no I try to up grade, fine that turn out to be a crock of shit, not going into details.
this makes me made, well think that it must be me, I format install the basic install,
then cvsup upgrade again that go ok, hay I just upgraded the same fucking version how nice.
well fuck this,
download and install 3.3 since I have no access to the site for 3.4 or all fucken links are broken,
so I them try to install some packages from the net, error out the ass
downloads the file then error depends failed yada yada,
I really fill for the money I spent I got Shit and a lot of it,
the files the book that come with the os say to use this file on the cd and the isn't even their,
that was ok with me because I could fine other was around the issue.
but this crape of the MAIN freebsd.org site doesn't have the file to download on 1 of the 6 sites in the mirrored use does, Hmmm
At least NWx and Ms$ don't have shit links and fails advertisement as you do.
I have seen more failures with this os then with NT or Novell,
and to top it off install as you say sucks, but real os's at least win you pay for the one that have to support the os at least make a products that installs right and they back the installations better then I have seen hear.
 
I would be nice to run something that works like all the claims state.

If you dont like FreeBSD then no problems. Just dont use it! 2. Why the hell did you decide to tell everyone here this. 99% of us are successfull users and dont have any problems and/or get the solutions you require. 3. M$ (as you so rightly put it) is a better product for the end user who 'gets a coomputer' and plonks it on their desk. FreeBSD is for either one of four sets of people:- A/ People who want an alternative solution B/ People who hate Microsoft :-) C/ People who like to play with 'UNIX' D/ People who need it because it is the most reliable solution available for the task 4. If you cant write an e-mail without swearing all the time then please dont bother. I'm sure no-one here wants to read it. In conclusion:- 1. Dont flame this list - it'll hurt you more than us. 2. It works for us - you must be stupid or something. 3. Can you actually put a sentence together? 4. $29.99 must be a lot to you unemployed, red-neck incest master. Cough. I hope this clears this one up (if it doesnt get me flamed).

I had to install FreeBSD from a DOS partition (a primary one at that) and now the first 1GB of my drive is unused. Can I mount a root partition on the first slice? What will this do to the root partition on the slice I'm using now? I considered creating duplicate subdirectories with similar names to "/", "var" and "usr" on the first slice - copying the file structure and renaming the mount points when I'm sure I'm done. Will this work? Please advise before I ruin my filesystem. p.s. no alternative installation options work for me - otherwise yes, I would take the 'easy' way out. /\/\att\/ ~~~~~~~/ _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freeworld.excite.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 24 1: 6:43 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from pointer.raytheon.co.uk (pointer.raytheon.co.uk [193.115.14.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 80B3D158FA for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 01:06:41 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Chris.Smith@raytheon.co.uk) Received: from rslhub.raytheon.co.uk (unverified) by pointer.raytheon.co.uk (Content Technologies SMTPRS 2.0.15) with SMTP id ; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 09:11:39 +0000 Received: by rslhub.raytheon.co.uk(Lotus SMTP MTA v4.6.2 (693.3 8-11-1998)) id 00256870.0031F298 ; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 09:05:33 +0000 X-Lotus-FromDomain: RAYTHEONUK From: Chris.Smith@raytheon.co.uk To: R Joseph Wright Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-Id: <00256870.0031F291.00@rslhub.raytheon.co.uk> Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 09:04:59 +0000 Subject: Re: FREE CASH, NO CATCH.........

Basically, I made up a new slice with filesystems on the new disk using sysinstall, tarred over the filesystems /, /var and /usr and edited the /etc/fstab on the new disk to match the new slice/partitions. Worked surprisingly well. No need to say you have to be careful though not to newfs the wrong slice with sysinstall... Since everything is copied into another slice, your original system is unaffected and can still be booted, assuming you're using booteasy. So now you're having wd0s2a, wd0s2b, wd0s2e and wd0s2f as /, swap, /var and /usr, the new ones would be wd0s1a, wd0s1b etc. You might need to do a MAKEDEV for a slice/partition that you created and was previously unknown to the system before you can mount it. Good luck! Karel.

I installed new versions of the fonts and tried various window managers and the display problem was still present. I do not believe that you did anything wrong. The XFree86 3.3.6 works fine with my old Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM (S3). I would love to get my ATI 128 card to work, but it will stay on the shelf until someone has time to finish fixing whatever is wrong with XFree86 3.3.6. The Xfree86 3.3.4 and this card would not even allow X to start. So there has been improvement. I sent a report to xfree86@x.physics.usyd.edu.au and got an automated response assuring me that the message has been forwarded to the development team.

W. Ballantine" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have a dual boot box, W98 and BSD, with a cable modem, and I've recently run into a strange network problem. I've been following STABLE via CVS and after my last run of cvs on dec 17 (system not recompiled until later) and a change in my ISP network, I lost contact with the network under FBSD. And that probably means that I'm doing something stupid.... The ISP only supports the windows side and I'm able to connect there. It's only when I try to connect via FreeeBSD that I get the problem. I've been searching for the past 3/4 weeks with not success, so any and all pointers are greatfully welcomed. Under the assumption that I messed something up, I've copied the /usr/src/etc files over to /etc, so I should have a stock 3.4-STABLE network, and to the best of my knowledge, I have no firewall. I've triple checked the addresses in rc.conf, resolv.conf, hosts and always get the same result when route runs. I've attached the bootup output(edited, the init output, my /etc/rc.conf and the output of netstat and route delete> If anything else is needed, please let me know.

Crist,

Thanks for your response, maybe you could clear a = couple of things up for me here...
[eyeland] # ipfw list
01000 allow ip from any to any via lo0
01100 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to 127.0.0.0/8

65000 allow ip from any to any
65535 deny ip from any to any

I was under the impression that the # of the firewall = rule is the order in which the rule is implemented (01000 will happen = before 01100). If this is the case, do rules 65000 and 65535 not = conflict each other? I cannot for the life of me find what is = instigating rule 65535 on my box, nor can I delete it :

Yes. First, don't start NATd from = /usr/local/etc/rc.d. That is pretty
much dead last in the startup process and could = prevent lotsa stuff

won't work. It also means that your divert to natd = in the firewall is

In your second problem, it's really hard to say what = is going on. Your
firewall rules (with the divert) are suspect for the = above reasons, so
I would not be surprised if nothing works. However, = even if we assume
they are now OK, we can't say if there is a problem = with natd. If you
call 196.31.83.226 directly on port 25, do you = actually get to talk to

You have two BSD options for Sparc hardware : OpenBSD and NetBSD . But, IMHO, they don't have enough pre-compiled packages , port collection, and support as FreeBSD has, I think, because they are oriented to security and to harware portability respectively.

NetBSD looks like the best option but there is still not enough stuff around compared to FreeBSD as you state. You can't produce a hybrid distribution? That would suit. Thanks for your opinion.

Gee, you complain about problems, but did you EVER, before this email, write and ask for help (since the -questions list IS for help)? No. So if you're an idiot, can't read the docs to even find where to ask questions then you should go back to your friend WindoZe and live there and complain to them when your dlls start getting out of sync. > I would be nice to run something that works like all the claims state.

Your job in setting up rules is to modify this policy to match your needs. However, if the kernel option ``IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT'' is active, the rule is instead: 65535 allow all from any to any This variation lets everything pass through. This option should only be activated in particular circumstances, such as if you use the firewall system as an on-demand denial-of-service filter that is normally wide open. > > On one of my other boxes I run this script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d > > > > /sbin/natd -n fxp0 -redirect_port tcp 196.38.133.194:110 196.38.133.198:80 > > /sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via fxp0 > > I have been previously told that it is "bad practise" to execute stuff like > this in rc.d - but that has never been justified properly to me (I was told > its not "pure"). Now in the abovementioned example this is my ipfw list: I could not think of a reason off hand why it is technically bad once I saw on the next lines how you have the firewall setup. However, you lose the flexibility of starting natd from rc.conf and all of the little detail that rc.network handles for you. It is not good for most people since they typically have more complicated firewall rules on a natd box. Under those circumstances, you need to start natd when you start the firewall and you need to get all of your network setup in order to do many of the other steps of the typical multi-user startup. You also miss out on a lot of support since most people don't do it that way. ;) > [messenger] # ipfw list > 00100 divert 8668 ip from any to any via fxp0 > 65535 allow ip from any to any > > The difference between the two boxes is that the [messenger] box does not > act as a gateway whereas the [eyeland] box does.

Anyway, all of that aside, I just noticed something about these, # /sbin/natd -n rl0 -redirect_port tcp 196.31.83.226:25 196.31.83.227:80 01500 divert 8668 ip from any to any via rl0 Are the packets destined for 196.31.83.227 actually crossing the rl0 interface? They don't get sent to natd if they do not. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Crist J.

Use the outside interface instead of its address. The "simple" firewall type in rc.firewall uses this extensively. Personally, I think this (the interface approach) is a good general practice. *Never* hardcode an address in *anywhere* unless it's absolutely necessary. [It *is* often necessary with ipfw, particularly when there's more than one external address, but not in this case.] - Lowell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 24 8:27: 0 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from Dolinca.IBC.IskraSistemi.SI (Dolinca.IBC.IskraSistemi.Si [194.249.213.241]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B6F041511F; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 08:26:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from brodnik@Dolinca.IBC.IskraSistemi.SI) Received: (from brodnik@localhost) by Dolinca.IBC.IskraSistemi.SI (8.9.3/8.9.3) id RAA95664; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 17:39:49 GMT (envelope-from brodnik) From: Andrej Brodnik (Andy) Message-Id: <200001241739.RAA95664@Dolinca.IBC.IskraSistemi.SI> Subject: lpt0, lpt, ...

The relevant part of the kernel configuration file reads: #-------------------------------------------------------------------- # Parallel-Port Bus # controller ppbus0 controller ppbus1 # Supported interfaces: device lpt0 at ppbus0 #Parallel Printer device lpt1 at ppbus1 #Parallel Printer # ppc ISA-bus parallel port interfaces. # device ppc0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty irq 7 device ppc1 at isa? port "IO_LPT2" tty irq 5 device ppc2 at isa? port "IO_LPT3" tty irq 5 The FreeBSD indeed recognizes ppc0 and ppc1 devices and also lpt0 and lpt1 are properly made on the /dev directory. Furthermore, printing on the lpt1 printer works perfectly. However, printing on the lpt0 does not work as it should; the printer (old Fujitsu) prints a line and then waits for a couple seconds (approx. 4 seconds) and prints the next line (and so on). Indeed, the whole file is printed out, but this is not how I'd like it working -- i.e. in the same way as lpt1. What do I need to change? What am I doing wrong? I will greatly appreciated any/all help! Thanx in advance!

Recently, I was trying to put up ${SUBJ} sound card under FreeBSD. Without any luck, as you might guess :-( I've searched the mail acrchives, and even contacted one of those people who seemed to be fighting with this beast, still, the guy said, he never was able to fire it up. What I've actually done was: 1). Tried to use standard VoxWare drivers, this approach didn't work (the card wasn't even detected) 2). The situation changed quite a bit after incluing this in kernel config: # Sound card support device pcm0 at isa? port? irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 When I booted with new kernel, my dmesg output was: mss_attach 0 at 0x530 irw 5 dma 1:5 flags 0x9115 aumix worked (I even was able to hear ascending/descending noise in speakers while changing mixer channels levels), but issuing splay /tmp/02.mp3 only yielded loud noise for half a second, and then silence. Anyone? I would appreciate any information regarding this subject. Cheers, /* Alexey N.

Well, as $SUBJ states, i am looking for anyone who actually has been using any Gigabith Ethernet cards. I would specifically like to know - what are the current speeds they get, how soon and how hard do they hit the limit of PCI (do we have a 64 bit PCI support? if so - how much perfomance gain does it give?) Also, are there devices out there that use Gigabit ethernet better then that (closer to actual Gigabit) and if so - do they affect slower devices on the net? (interrupt saturation comes to mind) Thanx! --Ugen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 24 9:45:35 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp.nwlink.com (smtp.nwlink.com [209.20.130.57]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 70E44158C7 for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 09:45:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rjoseph@nwlink.com) Received: from nwlink.com (ip238.r8.d.bel.nwlink.com [207.202.173.238]) by smtp.nwlink.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA13731 for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 09:45:22 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <388C8EC9.786D4151@nwlink.com> Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 09:41:29 -0800 From: R Joseph Wright X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: pcm0 References: <388BB150.371500B6@nwlink.com> <388BC208.73C29D14@pchost.com> <388BF332.733BA50@nwlink.com> <20000124120932.A14738@wop21.wop.wtb.tue.nl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG "Karel J.

Just pushed the reset button after StarOffice 5.1 freezed up. No CTRL-ALT-Fn anymore, no telnet possible from another machine, a ping showed 100 % packet loss and 'host is down'. It happened earlier several months ago and then the first thing I did after reboot was to remove the naughty thing. But recently I installed it again and now it bombs again... And all I did was trying to exit StarOffice. Nothing special in /var/log/messages, except / was not properly dismounted. Well that's normal after a hard reset. First thing I have to try is to reproduce, but now I don't have time for that... Karel.

Builds All forgein language ports when 'make' is issued at /usr/ports and many other examples of ports unable to fetch, build or install breaking the process, so here's a workaround that will keep the blood pressure around its normal range. Suggestions, criticism, and flames :-) are most welcome. ===== MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

I am interested in learning the required configurations which equate to the rc.local entries used to initialize the network interface for multiple IP's/VirtualHosts (like /sbin/ifconfig e0:1 127.16.0.100). Thus far, I've made entries in my httpd.conf file, and added a line to the /etc/rc.conf similar to the following: ifconfig_xl0_myid_dev2="inet 155.16.0.105 netmask 255.255.0.0" Even with this entry, I still cannot ping the virtual host 'myid_dev2' - interface not up.

But before it to a client, can someone confirm for me whether or not the following is possible. Consider a network, with a FreeBSD (probably -stable, but I can use -current if absolutely necessary). The FreeBSD host has 3 interfaces; a regular ethernet interface, and two ISDN terminal adapters, both doing ISDN B channel bonding, for a total of 256 Kbps. Now, what we want is for one half of the external network traffic to automatically go up one of the ISDN TAs, and the other half to go out of the other TA. Each TA will have a different IP address assigned to it. I don't think I can do this with regular routing. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I'm pretty certain about it. So I've got the following evil plan in mind. Run ipfw on the FreeBSD machine, with 2 rules. Both rules look at the source address of the packet. If the source address is in the first 50% of addresses on the internal network, then use a 'fwd' ipfw rule to forward the packet on to the first ISDN TA. If the source address is in the second half of the internal network, use a 'fwd' rule to send it out to the second TA. Oh yeah, and I'll be doing NAT at the same time. When you've finished retching from this gross hack (which will only be used for a couple of weeks until the fibre is laid), can anyone confirm or deny whether or not the above will actually work? I don't see anything in ipfw(8) which would preclude it, but I thought I'd check just in case.

I reconfigured my kernel to add ep1 at 0x300 with IRQ = 11. However, system complained that the 3rd ethernet card is not probed because it occupies the same memory segment (0x300). How can I force kernel to probe the 3rd card or is there a way I can assign the 3rd card to occupy at a different memory segment? (like 0x250?) Your help is appreciated.

You really shouldn't be using root for general-purpose work or e-mailing. You want to create a new, unprivileged, user under your own name for that - see the adding_user(8) man page. (man adding_user) Root is just too dangerous for general use. You can accidentally damage your system in any number of ways.

But before it to a client, can someone | confirm for me whether or not the following is possible. | | Consider a network, with a FreeBSD (probably -stable, but I can use | -current if absolutely necessary). The FreeBSD host has 3 interfaces; | a regular ethernet interface, and two ISDN terminal adapters, both | doing ISDN B channel bonding, for a total of 256 Kbps. | | Now, what we want is for one half of the external network traffic | to automatically go up one of the ISDN TAs, and the other half to | go out of the other TA. Each TA will have a different IP address | assigned to it. | | I don't think I can do this with regular routing. Correct me if I'm | wrong on this, but I'm pretty certain about it. | | So I've got the following evil plan in mind. | | Run ipfw on the FreeBSD machine, with 2 rules. Both rules look at the | source address of the packet. If the source address is in the first 50% | of addresses on the internal network, then use a 'fwd' ipfw rule to | forward the packet on to the first ISDN TA. If the source address is in | the second half of the internal network, use a 'fwd' rule to send it out | to the second TA. | | Oh yeah, and I'll be doing NAT at the same time. | | When you've finished retching from this gross hack (which will only be | used for a couple of weeks until the fibre is laid), can anyone confirm | or deny whether or not the above will actually work?

Yup, you can do it this way, (although I usually don't bother with a pkg_delete); using /stand/sysinstall to install it will work just as well. No need to rebuild current running apps. Cheers.

To make it permanent add the line into /etc/rc.local, or better yet make an executable shell script to do the same and drop it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d Once you have the aliases working you can setup httpd.conf to bind virtual servers to those IP's.

You sound like you mean the RBL "Real-time blackhole list" spam filter. Any filtering inetd does is based on the IP address of the connecting host.

Does anyone know a good web site that explains this process? Or can someone explain to me with e-mail? I tried to use Korean input terminal that came with FreeBSD 3.3 but it seems like I'm missing some fonts / or didn't install korean font correctly. Also, this is regarding to X11, I'm trying to use KDE with qt-i18 (the international version of qt) that's in the FreeBSD ports, but I cannot figure out how to put them together. The author of qt-i18 says I need to put configuration file, ".qti18nrc" file at my home directory, but he/she doesn't say much about how to configure it. On other web site, I found some message files, *.po, and I was instructed to put them at /usr/locale folder but it still doesn't work. I appreciate any advise/comments. Thank you.

What you need to do is copy /boot/boot0 (since FBSD is on a different disk to the NT loader, boot1 if it is on the same disk) to a file on C:\, e.g. C:\BOOTSECT.BSD. Then add an entry in C:\BOOT.INI (it's a read-only, hidden file so you'll need to use ATTRIB on it first) similar to the entry for DOS and/or WIN9x: [boot loader] timeout=5 default=C:\ [Operating Systems] C:\="Windows 95" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" c:\BOOTSECT.BSD="FreeBSD" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos One problem you may find is that since you've moved your FreeBSD disk from primary to slave it will now be wd1 instead of wd0 so the /etc/fstab entries will be wrong.

I have since done a LOT of testing. I don't have much of a conclusion (which is why I'm writing again). As you may recall, my system had an odd problem. If I ran my backup script (which tars files on one hard drive and puts them on another hard drive), all file system access stopped. So, the box would still be up, top would still be running on the console, but nothing would work because the OS couldn't seem to read from the drive. The kicker, though, is no error messages. Nothing in the logs. Nothing on the console. It would just stop and the processes would happily wait for data from the drives, but none would ever come. So, after a whole lot of swearing and Dew drinking, I have narrowed it down only slightly. It seems that for some reason this only happens around 1:00 - 2:30 AM or so. Never any other times. For example, as I write this a backup is being performed. For testing purposes I've been running one backup after another since 8:00 AM (3:30 PM now). No problems at all. I can't think of any reason why this would fail in the early morning hours and never any other time. It's not uptime related since just yesterday I had the box up and down (while testing this) and everything was going great. When I tried to run the backup again around 1:30AM, it died. I was forced to hit the rest button. Once the system came back up, I figured I would try to narrow things more. So, I unloaded vinum on my two IDE backup drives (see below), reformated one and gave it the same mount point. (So the backup would still work. I don't need all that space just yet.) Once that was done, vinum was not loaded and I gave it another shot. The backup froze again. The box had only been up about 30 minutes. The first night I made the backup process, I put it at the end of my daily.local cron script. It runs at 1:59 or something like that. Before that time, the box was up for 2 days. That first night brought it down with a froze file system. The night after I gave the backup script it's own entry in crontab for 3:00AM. It worked just fine. When I woke up in the morning things still worked. Just the other night I changed the cron's run time to 12:05 AM. That also made it through the night just fine. Does any of this make any sense? It doesn't to me. I suppose I have two basic questions here: 1) Is there anyway to make this work aside from the obvious "Don't run it between 1:00 and 2:30 AM"? Because this really bothers me. I have no idea if heavy server load would cause this to happen or if this is just a backup problem due to something stupid I'm doing. 2) I really need a better backup method. The idea originally was to have a duplicate structure on the backup drive as well as the main drive so that in the event of a disk faliure the broken drive could just be unplugged. Is that reasonable? Obviously using tar the way I am doesn't really allow this. The catch (at least it seems like one to me) is the drives are all different sizes.. (see below) Ok, the famed "below": Running FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE (I had 3.4-STABLE before. Don't ask. Long story. But the problem is still the same in either case.) SMP Kernel 256 MB RAM Dual PII-400Mhz Currently sitting in my room with no other active users and no outside activity via web or anything (it's still being configured, after all) Drives: SCSI id6: 4.5 GB (boot: /, /usr, swap) SCSI id9: 9.0 GB (backup: /eddie) IDE bus1master: 37 GB (data: /sites) IDE bus1slave: none IDE bus2master: 25 GB (backup1) IDE bus2slave: 20 GB (backup2) The last two backup drives are concated using vinum. Mounted as /wowbagger. The idea is that everything on the boot SCSI drive could be on the backup SCSI drive, and the same for the IDE. This layout is like this because our original plan was to have the ability to unplug the broken drive and get things backup with minimum pain. But using tar sort of defeats the purpose--which is why I would like some more suggestions. :-) The backup script does this right now: echo "Backup /:" tar -cslpf /eddie/root.tar / echo # Backup by itself to be handy, maybe. echo "Backup /usr/local:" tar -clspf /eddie/usr.local.tar /usr/local echo echo "Backup all of /usr:" tar -clpsf /eddie/usr.tar /usr echo echo "Backup /sites:" tar -clpsf /wowbagger/sites.tar /sites echo Make sense? One thing I just realized, though, is that I might hit that famed 2GB file limit. I imagine FreeBSD is prone to this? Oh well. I need a better method anyway.. Just so you know, here's the current df: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 99183 45741 45508 50% / /dev/da0s1e 3713364 507654 2908641 15% /usr /dev/da1s1e 8679993 1227161 6758433 15% /eddie /dev/wd0s1e 35503710 449097 32214317 1% /sites /dev/vinum/vinum0 43643010 996729 39154841 2% /wowbagger procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc As you can see, the partitions that are being backed up are not over 2GB, so that shouldn't be the problem right now. Anyway.. I'm looking for some input here. It's very very hard to make this problem happen. I can try all day and nothing will come of it, but wait until 1:30AM or so, and it happens almost(key word) everytime. Is something deadlocking? Perhaps something to do with SMP? Or am I doing something terrbily stupid? (feel free to flame.. I need to learn sometime, right? :-) I hope someone has a clue of where to start digging, at least. The last e-mail generated one response. The person suggested I try removing drives one by one from the equation. I'm going to attempt that tonight in more detail. The problem is, setting the clock to 1:30 AM myself doesn't seem to matter. Maybe it's tied to the BIOS time... Or perhaps it's not time related at all and just really really coincedental that it happens around that time all the time regardless of how long the box was up, how hot it is, etc. l8r Sean PS> ARG!!!!

It has to be in its own partition and right now you have two that it can't use, i.e., the primary and the extended. You can rearrange your drive with something like Partition Magic such that you leave a 2GB space between your primary and your extended. You can then create a FreeBSD partition and install it in that space. It is probably easier to add a second drive and install it on it. Either way has its own special gotcha's but rearranging a drive that large has special risks with more serious after effects.

Support,

I am running OS X Server on my Macintosh G3 Server 400mhz blue & White.
Since OS X Server runs BSD 4.4 I was curious if you could help me find some software...

1) An unzip program that runs in BSD 4.4-Which would hopefully work in OSX
2) A zip program that runs in BSD 4.4-Which would hopefully work in OSX
3) a bin program that runs in BSD 4.4-Which would hopefully work in OSX
4) A program that un-bins that runs in BSD 4.4-Which would hopefully work in OSX
5) A program to change type and creator that runs in BSD 4.4-Which would hopefully work in OSX
6)A X11 Server application that would run on OSX which I could remotely get to from a mac running xodus.

Please help--I would love it--- :-)

Indeed, I did just such a thing Sunday night on my wife's PC - although, it was Win98 on 3G primary partition and FreeBSD3.3 on the 1G extended partition. My paranoia was unfounded regarding backups (did a full backup of the data on the Win98 partiton before starting), and the FreeBSD install proceeded smoothly thanks to Grog's excellent advice in "The Complete FreeBSD - 3rd Edition". I installed the base system for X-User, Linux emulation, then loaded fvwm95 (keeping the interface similar to ease the transition) and then loaded Corel WordPerfect 8 - and it worked first time! WP8 is a bit slow on a P90 with 'only' 40MbRAM, but once started is quite spritely. And having access to the Win98/FAT32 disk is "nice" too :') hth, haxxa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 24 15:17:14 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from asmodeus.diabolis.net (209-6-187-143.c6-0.wth-ubr1.sbo-wth.ma.cable.rcn.com [209.6.187.143]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BCF36152AD for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 15:17:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bunicula@rcn.com) Received: from asmodeus (asmodeus [192.168.2.6]) by asmodeus.diabolis.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA04065; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:08:39 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from bunicula@rcn.com) Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:08:39 -0500 (EST) From: Brian Anderson X-Sender: bunicula@asmodeus.diabolis.net To: Mike Sturdee Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: firewall In-Reply-To: <4.1.20000124161616.00971ea0@mail.mikesweb.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Mon, 24 Jan 2000, Mike Sturdee wrote: > How does FreeBSD's firewall compare to CheckPoint 1? Depends on which firewall in freeBSD you're talking about. I'll use ipf in my comments, since that's the one I know... one of Firewall-1's big selling point is Stateful Inspection: When a packet comes in or out, it will check to see if it should be accepted or dropped. If it's accepted, the firewall will then open a port for the session. When the transaction is done, the port gets closed. This is obviously a much nicer thing than just leaving ports wide open ipf can also do stateful inspection. pass in on xl0 from any to any port = 25 keep state would allow any packet from anywhere come in to port 25. you wouldn't need to add any rules to allow your machine to reply out, since there's an implied rule allowing the return packets. one difference is that FW-1 has a GUI config, and is more 'enterprise ready'... you can have 10 machines with the FW-1 inspection module, and one management console that stores the policy info and pushes it out to the firewalls. the gui configuration tool can also be run on another machine. It's also multi platform, so you can configure the HP-UX firewall module, via a Solaris management unit, from a WinNT box. another difference is that FreeBSD is at worst 100 dollars, for the powerpack book / cds and a cookie. (well, maybe no cookie) where FW-1 can get REALLY expensive. my company is getting a copy, and the package is 22K. i have a fair amount of knowledge about both, so if you want to get into more of a discussion i can try to help out. brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 24 15:19: 3 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from asmodeus.diabolis.net (209-6-187-143.c6-0.wth-ubr1.sbo-wth.ma.cable.rcn.com [209.6.187.143]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6B60E1533B for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 15:19:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bunicula@rcn.com) Received: from asmodeus (asmodeus [192.168.2.6]) by asmodeus.diabolis.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA04083; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:10:19 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from bunicula@rcn.com) Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:10:19 -0500 (EST) From: Brian Anderson X-Sender: bunicula@asmodeus.diabolis.net To: David Banning Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Where is Charlie Root?

Fuller Dear Mark Ovens, correct me I am wrong: if you issue "killall", you kill *all* the instances of a given "program" (which instances are *different*=20 processes), if you issue "kill",you should just kill one instance or process. I usually issue a "killall" to kill StarOffice when it behaves badly ...

When to decide to bail out? It'll probably take a while for that much of a delta. Be patient. If you see at least "a couple of checkout lines" then it's working; it's probably just working out what deltas need to be grabbed next. -- This transmission is for the intended addressee only and is confidential information.

No. Not the RBL. tcp-wrappers has a patch which when applied permits you to reference a FILE NAME in place of an machine address/name. Therefore in a hosts.deny you can enter (for example) pop : /etc/hosts.fylname : DENY and the file "/etc/hosts.fylname" will be treated as a continuous list of IP's. This makes adding an IP to the wrappers rejection list _very_ easy. FreeBSD 3.3 still did not have this wrappers patch applied, and therefore I could not utilize this feature of wrappers. -- Jim Pazarena mailto:paz@ccstores.com http://www.qcislands.net/paz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 24 15:39: 2 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from www.beastie.net (cr13646-a.lngly1.bc.wave.home.com [24.113.138.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 68CA014BEE for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 15:38:56 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from beastie@beastie.net) Received: from [192.168.1.2] (helo=Beastie) by www.beastie.net with smtp (Exim 3.03 #1) id 12CsQj-000Ao8-00; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 14:57:53 -0800 Message-ID: <003d01bf66be$b97168e0$0201a8c0@uniserve.com> From: "David Fuchs" To: "Sean Heber" , References: Subject: Re: Update regarding stuck file systems Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 14:59:42 -0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Well... just think... what happens other than your backup script at 1:00am to 2:30am on your server?? By default the cron process starts it's daily server maintenance at precisely 1:00. I know that when I'm around the server during this time it's making a hell of a racket... you should probably try turning system maintenance off for one night just to see if it solves the problem.

Isupply.net seems to be some sort of internet service that uses the FreeBSD operating system and the Apache webserver to do thier online processing. As far as I know FreeBSD is not associated with isupply.net with the exception that they use our products. This would be like emailing microsoft because some site had a Microsoft logo on thier site.

I'm afraid that you got the wrong list. I looked at the isupply.net website, or rather lack of a real one. I found that probably it runs on freebsd and apache. However the freebsd user community cannot be held responsible for what they do. Just because there website happens to have the freebsd logo on it does not make us responsible. I am sure that the maintainers of apache will ignore your email if you contact them, because they aren't responsible either. I would suggest talking to your bank and legal sources if you want, the bank should be able to get the withdrawals stopped but as I said earlier, there is nothing that we can do...

Haven't you ever dreamt of a spaceship (e.g. USS Enterprise in Star=20 Trek) ? Such a means *is* a complex structure: do you know how much training it is necessary that the NASA guys should take in order to accomplish their missions in space (and we are a long way from Star Trek spaceshift "technology", BTW) ? Have you ever imagined ? Incidentally, there is little room at NASA for a guy with your English "performance" and "competence". Just think of it. FreeBSD is one of the most powerful and performing OS in the world (probably even the best one available) nowadays: it is THE Spaceship of Operating Systems ... If you wish to enter this spaceship, you have to *learn* how to use it.

AIUI, PPP doesn't pass the command to /bin/sh, and it doesn't understand the backticks. (I think this was the case at some point, though it may have changed while I wasn't looking.)

When to decide to bail out? IME, cvsup never sits there doing nothing. There's nearly always some disk activity when running cvsup. What is it doing at this time? I'm guessing it's blocked somewhere, ``ps axl | grep cvsup'' may help to find the problem.

The media is not so expensive, and I have found them to be *FAR* more reliable than the Travan type drives. Although the actual Travan drive might be cheaper at first, you end up paying for it in the not so long term due to the high cost of the tapes....

If you have problems, just describing it as a "crock of shit" and refusing to go into details doesn't help. After all, In the beginning was the DEMO Project. And the Project was without form. And darkness was upon the staff members thereof. So they spake unto their Division Head, saying, "It is a crock of shit, and it stinks." And the Division Head spake unto his Department Head, saying, "It is a crock of excrement and none may abide the odor thereof." Now, the Department Head spake unto his Directorate Head, saying, "It is a container of excrement, and is very strong, such that none may abide before it." And it came to pass that the Directorate Head spake unto the Assistant Technical Director, saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer and none may abide by its strength." And the assistant Technical Director spake thus unto the Technical Director, saying, "It containeth that which aids growth and it is very strong." And, Lo, the Technical Director spake then unto the Captain, saying, "The powerful new Project will help promote the growth of the Laboratories." And the Captain looked down upon the Project, and He saw that it was Good! > this makes me made, well think that it must be me, I format install > the basic install, then cvsup upgrade again that go ok, hay I just > upgraded the same fucking version how nice. well fuck this, > download and install 3.3 since I have no access to the site for 3.4 > or all fucken links are broken, so I them try to install some > packages from the net, error out the ass downloads the file then > error depends failed yada yada, I really fill for the money I spent > I got Shit and a lot of it, the files the book that come with the os > say to use this file on the cd and the isn't even their, that was ok > with me because I could fine other was around the issue. It's a good thing you stopped for breath, because it gives me the chance to realise that, although you have peppered your description with obscenities, you have carefully omitted all detail (as promised). > but this crape of the MAIN freebsd.org site doesn't have the > file to download on 1 of the 6 sites in the mirrored use does, Hmmm > At least NWx and Ms$ don't have shit links and fails advertisement > as you do.

Again, I don't see much content. > I would be nice to run something that works like all the claims > state. I've gone to quite some trouble to read this message. All I can discern is: 1. You are quite upset about something. 2. You have chosen to use obscenities to describe the fact. 3. You don't seem to be very able to express yourself. 4. You seem to think that we're interested in this description. I'd strongly suggest that you do the following. 1. Wait until you have calmed down. 2. Go back and analyse what you did, and where things started to go wrong. 3. When you're reasonably certain you have (2) right, write it down on paper. Go into detail. 4. Look at the output of (3). Remove all obscenities. Check the details. Check the spelling. Check the punctuation. Check the line length. 5. Send it to us again. If you have done a good job on (4), you will probably get an answer helping you to solve your problem. Greg -- When replying to this message, please take care not to mutilate the original text.

For example, if your interface is fxp0, and you are connecting to your machine from the dialup IP 192.168.1.1, add something like this temporarily ipfw add 1000 allow ip from 192.168.1.1 to any ipfw add 1010 allow ip from any to 192.168.1.1 then add your new rules after that. In your case, ipfw add 2000 allow all from 216.218.200.113 to any ipfw add 2100 deny log ip from 216.218.200.112/28 in via fxp0 2000 lets stuff in from your gateway, and 2100 stops packets coming at you with an internal source address. Then try and reach some third party machine (e.g. lynx http://www.freebsd.org) to make sure other boxes can still get to you and vice versa. If thats the case, then you can get rid of rules 1000 and 1010. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."

However, a couple of tips on getting questions answered. a) Try and use more descriptive subject headings. (I only saw your question because I accidentally clicked on it). Many people wont bother reading what they are not interested in. b) Dont post HTML messages. You end up posting the same thing twice, and a lot of people dont like reading in HTML. As to your question, there are a number of ways to do it. One way is via login classes. Have a look at /etc/login.conf and create a class for your shell users to restrict them so that they can not eat up x amount of RAM, or fork off too many processes etc. However, limiting to one process might be too restrictive. Note that not all things are implemented in the login.classes, but for what you want to do, you should find everything you need. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."

If it's 509B then you could fo the following: Go to 3com web site to the support area http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/3c509b.htm and download V6.1 Ether disk (or go to ftp://ftp.3com/pub/nic/3c509 and download two files - 3c509x1.exe and 3c509x2.exe) unpack everything on two floppies. Boot MS DOS without any extra drivers. On the second disk you can find 3c5x9cfg.exe - run it and configure card like you want. Note, that everytime you set up some parameter conflicting with other cards, the program will warn you, but it allows to save parameters in any case. Also I recomend to download 3Com NIC detection utility. It allows you to detect any 3Com cards (if you run it from MS DOS), prints all parameters for all cards even they have conflicting parameters - ftp://ftp.3com/pub/nic/crdfnd.exe Hope, it will help. > >Your help is appreciated. >Thanks, >Eric > > >PS....This is strictly used for my home PC and it is being built to act as a >router. > > > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 24 18:54:21 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.HiWAAY.net (fly.HiWAAY.net [208.147.154.56]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 58B2A1536C for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:54:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net) Received: from nospam.hiwaay.net (tnt8-208-170-118-171.dialup.HiWAAY.net [208.170.118.171]) by mail.HiWAAY.net (8.9.3/8.9.0) with ESMTP id UAA25490; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 20:54:17 -0600 (CST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by nospam.hiwaay.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA02906; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 20:54:13 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net) Message-Id: <200001250254.UAA02906@nospam.hiwaay.net> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 To: "Gary Landers" Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: David Kelly Subject: Re: Disk Image In-reply-to: Message from "Gary Landers" of "Sat, 22 Jan 2000 11:42:30 MST." <002c01bf6508$7055fb10$0cf6fcce@tein.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 20:54:12 -0600 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG "Gary Landers" writes: > Somewhere I read about a command that allows you to make a disk image or > full disk copy, > I cant find the command now. > I would like replace an older boot disk with a newer one without having to > reconfig anything.

You're going to have to have something writeable. > Perhaps MFS would do the trick. The newer IBM Network Stations (models 2200 and 2800) running in kiosk mode do exactly what you're looking to do. They run a heavily customized version of NetBSD, booted off a flash card with a read-only root filesystem on the card, and with an MFS /tmp filesystem, in which the kiosk user has its writable home directory. The thing boots into X out of an endless loop in the startup scripts and runs whatever application(s) you've configured it to. If it's configured to run Netscape, it does that, and if Netscape is closed, the loop in the startup script just restarts X and Netscape. It should be fairly easy to reproduce on a diskless PC with FreeBSD and a live filesystem burned onto a CD, but you'll want to strip out a ton of potentially dangerous crap from that filesystem if you're just looking to run Netscape with a minimum of places for imaginative students to wander into. The IBM Network Stations don't even have chmod on the filesystem :P You'll also want to make /var a symlink to somewhere in that /tmp filesystem, as well.

During the partitioning section I set up a /var partition of 100 megs, a root partition of 100 megs, and left a couple gigs for /usr, and entering df on the command line also shows a /proc partition of 4 1-k blocks. Here is the output of df - /dev/wd1s1a 99183 46987 44262 51% / /dev/wd1s1f 2749566 515006 2014595 20% /usr /dev/wd1s1e 99183 101111 -101 104% /var <-- (these are apr, I didn't write down procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc the exact numbers) Then I started getting a message about running out of room for sendmail - sendmail: NOQUEUE: low on space (have 0, SMTP-DAEMON need 101 in /var/spool/mqueue) this message gets repeated alot, to say the least. So I enter df at prompt and see the partition /var is at 104%. Then I open the book The Complete FreeBSD, chapter 5 page 87, Where to put /var and /tmp section. I followed the instructions to link /var to /usr/var because that would allow more room for /var. All went well till I tried rm -rf /var when I get a message that the device is busy. So I rebooted and tried that last one again and got the same response. Then I rebooted into single user mode (I believe), and got the same message again. So I tried ln -s /usr/var /var anyway, and it seems to have worked, I didn't get any messages. The directory /usr/var appears to contain all the directories and files that were in the original /var. I reboot again just for the heck of it, and get the following messages (and in the last couple reboots above) - /etc/rc: cannot create /var/run/dmesg.boot: directory nonexistent cd: can't cd to /var/run /etc/rc: cannot create /var/run/clean_var: directory nonexistent Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: I get a # sign prompt and enter login I then login as a user, not root, and enter startx. It appears to start but then quits to the command prompt again with the following messages - 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 (Note: the portion above only shows when I boot: -s, not when I boot with defaults) (Note: the portion below shows everytime I try startx or startkde) setenv: not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: shared object "libX11.so.6" not found (repeated 5 more times) /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1:shared object "libjpeg.so.9" not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1:shared object "libX11.so.6" not found (3 more times) waiting for X server to shut down Once again, this only started after trying to link /var to /usr/var according to the directions in the above mentioned book. Now when I do df I show /var at 0%, which is correct since that is empty, and I can't get rid of it the way the book says I should be able to. So, did I screw up big time? Hopefully I can just fix this without any major problems, like reinstalling from scratch. Please help.

Have you tried other cvsup servers? yes, Monday afternoon/evening, I had the same timeout experience with cvsup.de, .fr, and .uk. After it got an inactivity time out with .fr Monday late, saying that it would try later, I went home, to find it Tuesday morning with nothing more than the same inactivity timeout message but not more checkout lines. In equally fruitless parallel effort, I grabbed 300 megs of "bare-bones" .iso images for 3.4 at 600+ kbits/sec from .de mirror, but now I'm trying to find out what to do with them. Adaptec CD Creator/Win (mentioned on the comment line of the .de ftp mirror site) seemed to recognize the files, but just wrote them to the blank as a dumb file, not as an image. I wonder if trench warfare feels like this?

You don't mount a tape drive. You just use dump/restore or tar to/from it. If it is detected at boot then you can manipulate the tape with the mt command. If you had supplied the device name I could have given you the commands for dumping etc. But for now read the manpages for dump, restore, mt (and perhaps a reread of tar could be of some benefit) For the flags of dump I use '-0uaf /dev/nrsa0' for a level0 (dump everything) dump. /Micke ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.1 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 25 1:45:11 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from relay.nuxi.com (nuxi.cs.ucdavis.edu [169.237.7.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 26AD014C10 for ; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 01:45:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from lam@NUXI.com) Received: from localhost (lam@localhost) by relay.nuxi.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id BAA23561 for ; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 01:45:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from lam@relay.nuxi.com) Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 01:45:08 -0800 (PST) From: lam To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: natd and dhcp, part deux. Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi Group, The original setup: An incoming ISDN is going into a 700 Cisco router; connecting an NT workstation to my roomate's company (as a dhcp client). Among normal usage (webpage, wp, mail) that NT is also connecting to the company sun servers with a X client (X reflection), for debuging/developing. The improved setup: An 486 with 2 nics, one is connecting with the cisco router as a dhcp client, the other nic is connecting with internal systems (the original NT, a FreeBSD system, and more in the future, all are on one hub). So far, things seem ok with one exception. The problem: The NT X Reflection (X client) is not working. If I connect the NT directly to the Cisco router, there is no problem. As soon as I connect my 486 router, the X client won't run at all. How do I solve this problem? I also thank this group for helping me setup the 486. You can't imagine how those emails have helped me in the dark hours. :-) I also hope I can solve this one. I hate to put the original setup back just because of one application. Again, any clues are more than welcomed. :-) ---Lam ---Lam Nguyen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 25 2:11:19 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from athena.tyfon.net (athena.tyfon.net [212.37.11.70]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 46645150DA for ; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 02:11:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dl@tyfon.net) Received: from junglenote.com (cl013s1.tyfon.com [213.212.29.17]) by athena.tyfon.net (8.10.0.Beta12/8.10.0.Beta12) with ESMTP id e0PAB6602810 for ; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 11:11:07 +0100 (CET) Received: from enigmatic by junglenote.com with SMTP (MDaemon.v2.84.R) for ; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 11:18:54 +0100 Received: by localhost with Microsoft MAPI; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 11:18:53 +0100 Message-ID: <01BF6725.F649DD30.dl@tyfon.net> From: Dan Larsson To: "[FreeBSD-Questions-List] (E-postl)" Subject: How many rows in sh Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 11:18:52 +0100 Organization: Tyfon Internet Services [ http://tyfon.net ] X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet-e-post/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Return-Path: dl@tyfon.net Reply-To: dl@tyfon.net Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I use a script to filter out the number of login/logouts on pop/imap/uucp.

There was a note the other day from the maintainer, touting this as the newest server with very low load at this time. Also try running cvsup with the -L 2 option for more verbosity. It does not give a plethora of information, but it is better than nothing. Finally, if you are running an X desktop of any kind, try cvsup from there. The cvsup GUI gives the most information as to what cvsup is doing. -- Walter in·tel·lec·tu·al n. Someone who has been educated past his/her level of intelligence.

You appear to know how to drive cvsup -- this means you are an intelligent being who wishes to stay up-to-date with the latest bugfixes and what-have-you. You've downloaded the cvsup 16.1 binaries (knowing that this latest release has a bugfix which can speed things up), and you've read the example files in /usr/share/examples/cvsup >hay I just upgraded the same fucking version how nice. Hmmm, You did not mention performing the 'make world' routine, where one does cd /usr/src && make world and then either says 'woooo, look at it go', or does something else for an hour or two, depending on how fast your computer is. Don't forget to make and install a new kernel as well. If you don't do these two steps, all you've done is updated the source code, but haven't compiled and installed new binaries -- hence your system will indeed be running the version as before cvsupping, which as you say, is nice. >well fuck this, download and install 3.3 since I have no access to the Mmmmkay, why did you bother downloading version 3.3 when you've got it on CD? Did you accidently put the 3.3 CDs in the microwave when making a snack? I've done that a few times in the past. But only with dodgy 80s punk CDs. And only then when I was drunk. >site for 3.4 or all fucken links are broken, so I them try to install some >packages from the net, error out the ass downloads the file then error >depends failed yada yada, We feel your pain.

You're not making sense. What files? The CD is no longer theirs -- you purchased it from the vendor. That means it's yours. Unless you stole it.

W. Ballantine" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have a dual boot box, W98 and BSD, with a cable modem, and I've recently run into a strange network problem. I've been following STABLE via CVS (so I did have the network up and running), and after my last run of cvs around Dec 17 (system not recompiled until later) and a change in my ISP network, I lost contact with the network under FBSD. And that probably means that I'm doing something stupid...., but for the life of me I have no idea what. The ISP only supports the windows side and I'm able to connect there. It's only when I try to connect via FreeeBSD that I get the problem. I've been searching for the past 3/4 weeks with not success, so any and all pointers are greatfully welcomed. Under the assumption that I messed something up, I've copied the /usr/src/etc files over to /etc, so I should have a stock 3.4-STABLE network, and to the best of my knowledge, I have no firewall. I've triple checked the addresses in rc.conf, resolv.conf, hosts and always get the same result when route tries to run. I've attached the bootup output(edited, the init output, my /etc/rc.conf and the output of netstat and route delete> If anything else is needed, please let me know.

Gave me a little more screen feedback, but only 2 more checkout directories up to /src/bin/csh/csh.1 before it timed out. Ok, I'm blowing off cvsup.

Does it work for anybody else? is my 3.1R machine now scrogged?) -------------------- Plan B: I did get the 300 megs of 3.4R "bare-bones" .iso images at 600 megabits/sec from Germany and correctly onto two cdroms. From disk 1's UPGRADE.TXT : "These notes assume that you are using the version of sysinstall supplied with the version of FreeBSD to which you intend to upgrade." I'm trying to get from 3.1R installed from retail cdroms to 3.4R from the bare-bones cd-roms, but the latter are "bare" of a sysinstall. Fair questions, I think: just where does one find the sysinstall for 3.4R? Why isn't it on the .iso images?

The default gateway must be in the same IP network/subnet as the interface which is attempting to communicate through it. Post the network settings from the Win98 side. Run WINIPCFG from the Start->Run prompt, click the "More Info" button, and post all the information there. I'll be able to translate that to FreeBSD rc.conf settings. One last question, though. Do you have a static IP address, or is it supposed to be DHCP assigned?

There is no 3D/Hardware acceleration support as of yet (nor > do I believe those plans are in the works). Incorrect. The SVGA driver under 3.3.5/6 supports the Voodoo 3 accellerator. As for future releases of X - XFree86 4.0 will support hardware acceleration in 2D and in 3D through DRI. See http://www.precisioninsight.com (I think) On XF86Setup, the card will be listed as voodoo3 on the bottom page. 3D support via OpenGL is will be here in XFree86 4.0 and Glide support is available NOW, so in theory you should be able to play UT in FreeBSD. You will need some base libraries for Linux and linux emulation turned on. The following page may help:- linux.3dfx.com > If you want true hardware support go to www.xigraphics.com (although it > will cost you!)

Besides the DSP that controls the DSL link, the heart of DSL modems is the ATM Sequence and Ressembly (SAR) chip. There was talk on the ATM mailing list (freebsd-atm@freebsd.org) that someone was working on a driver for the ATM SAR found in an earlier model of the Efficient Network SpeedStream (3020). I have not heard anything more, nor do I know if that code would work with the newer SpeedStream 4060. I would suggest you ask the question on the atm mailling list. --mark.

Under most circumstances, you don't. POP3 and IMAP4 send cleartext passwords. Your only hope of encrypting the passwords (and everything else) in transit is to tunnel the traffic through SSH, and this requires an additional component on both the server and the client.

There should be sources. this is not an easy option for new users. I would consider upping your FreeBSD version to 3.4 and using the XFree86 3.3.5 packages.

I've gotten quite a bit of information from the man pages and the handbook, but I still am missing something. First, I'm running 3.4-RELEASE. When I boot I used to get a bunch of lines on the order of: config> di zp0 config> di ze0 config> di lnc0 config> di le0 config> di ie0 config> di fe0 config> di ex0 config> di ed0 config> di cs0 config> di wt0 config> di mcd0 config> di matcdc0 config> q This looks a lot like a list of NIC cards, although not all of the ones supported by FreeBSD. Perhaps those which need pccard support? In any case, I rebuilt my kernel and commented out all of the cards I know I didn't have and I now get: config> di zp0 No such device: zp0 Invalid command or syntax. Type `?' for help. config> di ze0 No such device: ze0 Invalid command or syntax. Type `?' for help. and so on. I found that the file kernel.conf seems to have these commands, but what are they? Do I need them for pccard NICs? My laptop has a Xircom card and I have configured it into my kernel (although I have yet to boot it). Do I need a "di xe0" in my kernel.conf file? Is there a man page for what ever program is generating the 'config> ' prompts? Any clues appreciated. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

If the interfaces IP number is changed, natd will dynamically alter its concept of the alias address. you will probably have to have this option dropped in. make sure natd is bound to the external port (with -n ) there's a whole bunch of useful info in the natd man pages, read them. -- jan +-----// f. johan beisser //------------------------------+ email: jan[at]caustic.org web: http://www.caustic.org/~jan "knowledge is power. power corrupts. study hard, be evil."

So I didn't! Then they have their example on the redirect_address, and so I adjusted it to suit my IPs and still nothing! I'm wondering if this maybe has something to do with it # Obtain interface name from the command output of "ifconfig -a" # # alias_address 192.168.0.1 interface rl0 And then what you said... >Are the packets destined for 196.31.83.227 actually crossing the rl0 >interface? They don't get sent to natd if they do not. I've tried to uncomment that alias_address and put 196.31.83.227 in there, but the same results. What do you mean by crossing the rl0?

Your job in setting up rules is to modify this policy to match your needs.

Crist,

Sorry to bombard you, but I think I'm sort of closer = (well actually I've done this by the book now) and am still having the = problem when I telnet 196.31.83.227:25 I get the 196.31.83.226:25 exim = hello rather than the 192.168.62.150:25 response.

[eyeland] /etc # ipfw list
01000 allow ip from any to any via lo0
01100 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to 127.0.0.0/8
01500 divert 8668 ip from any to any via rl0
65000 allow ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any

As you can see, I adjusted the = IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT in my kernel.

<snip from rc.conf>

natd_enable=3D"YES"
natd_interface=3D"rl0"
natd_flags=3D"-f /etc/natd.conf"

</snip>

And finally /etc/natd.conf with most of the comments = removed...

log yes
# Incoming connections.  Should NEVER be set to = "yes" if redirect_port,
# redirect_address, or permanent_link statements are = activated in this file!
#
# Setting to yes provides additional anti-crack = protection
#
deny_incoming   no
use_sockets     yes
same_ports      yes
verbose         = no
port          = ;  8668
interface       = rl0
unregistered_only       = no
#The following mapping points outside address = 198.105.232.1 to 192.168.1.56
redirect_address  = 192.168.62.150        = 196.31.83.227

Now the interesting thing here is the first comment = that deny_incoming should never be set to yes. So I didn't!

Then they have their example on the redirect_address, = and so I adjusted it to suit my IPs and still nothing!

I'm wondering if this maybe has something to do with = it

<snip from natd.cf.sample>

# Obtain interface name from the command output of = "ifconfig -a"
#
# alias_address 192.168.0.1
interface       = rl0

</snip>

And then what you said...

>Are the packets destined for 196.31.83.227 = actually crossing the rl0
>interface? They don't get sent to natd if they = do not.

I've tried to uncomment that alias_address and put = 196.31.83.227 in there, but the same results. What do you mean by = crossing the rl0? And do you have any other ideas ;)

Cheers

Mike

See the ipfw(8) manpage,

     One rule is always = present:

          &nb= sp;            = 65535 deny all from any to any

     This rule is the default = policy, i.e., don't allow anything at all.  Your
     job in setting up rules is = to modify this policy to match your needs.

     However, if the kernel = option ``IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT'' is active,
     the rule is instead:

          &nb= sp;            = 65535 allow all from any to any

     This variation lets = everything pass through.  This option should only be
     activated in particular = circumstances, such as if you use the firewall
     system as an on-demand = denial-of-service filter that is normally wide
     open.

messenger looks like it was compiled with = IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
set in the kernel config.

Anyway, all of that aside, I just noticed something = about these,

 # /sbin/natd -n rl0 -redirect_port tcp = 196.31.83.226:25 196.31.83.227:80

 01500 divert 8668 ip from any to any via = rl0

Are the packets destined for 196.31.83.227 actually = crossing the rl0
interface? They don't get sent to natd if they do = not.

I should have clarified what I meant, especially in the context of the thread subject. I meant that people will be able to track changes in 4.0 immediately after its release. Whether it's still 4.0-CURRENT or 4.0-STABLE, I have no idea. Lowell is most likely right; -CURRENT will probably not fork until sometime after the release, probably closer to 4.1-RELEASE, if I had to guess.

In the private e-mail that "Mick" is quoting here, I also said that I *had* heard (in some of Jordan's messages) that -stable would be moved over much more quickly than in past transitions. I was trying to figure out if he (Mick) had better information than I, and it turned out that the answer was 'no.' Maybe someone who *does* know what they're talking about will speak up eventually. Mr. O'Malley and I don't seem to qualify. At least on the pedantic point -- for most people's purposes, though, the fact that there will continue to be a 3-STABLE (and releases from it) long after there is a 4-STABLE is more important than which one is "really" -STABLE. Be well.

X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a pentium 166 box running FreeBSD that I am setting up as a router/webserver/mailserver for my DSL line. It has two ethernet cards, pn0 and mx0. pn0 is connected directly to the ADSL bridge and my ISP's network. mx0 is connected to a hub and then to a win98 machine. The firewall is set to "open" and the natd interface is set to pn0. When I first boot both machines everything works fine. On the FreeBSD box, netstat -r and arp -a show all the things that I think they are supposed to. Both show 192.168.1.2 reachable on mx0 and 198.144.206.1 on pn0 as the default. (198.144.206.1 is my ISP's gateway). My IP and netmask on mx0 and pn0 show up as they should on ifconfig (192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 and 192.168.206.51/255.255.255.0) Everything works great for a while, and then the connection between mx0 and the windows machine dies. If I ping from either side of the connection (windows or FreeBSD) I get nothing. netstat -r, arp -a, and ifconfig -a all show the same exact informa! ! tion that they do when things are working. If I reboot the FreeBSD machine the connection works, but here is the really strange thing: If I run tcpdump, the link never closes down! Without changing anything else, tcpdump causes the link to come back up and stay up. As soon as I exit tcpdump with a ^C, the link works for a while and then dies. What is going on here? I don't know enough about networking to know what tcpdump does. Thanks for taking the time to read this long email - please cc me in the reply if you have any advice or ideas.

Thanks:) It seems that ``shell'' doesn't behave as described in the manpage for ppp: shell|! [command] If command is not specified a shell is invoked according to the SHELL environment variable.

I took a quick look at 3COM's web site and I did not see a 3C309B listed.= I'm assuming it is an old card...

Install OpenSSH (if it's back on its feet once more) to get to your host in a secure manner. Look into stunnel to secure things like POP3 and IMAP sessions. There are about four of those wrapper thingies. Mind you, haven't gotten past the 'make install' step myself yet .

But let's face it, neither of them are really easy to learn. And even worse to remember! I've learned both to a somewhat adequate proficient level, yet now that I could use that knowledge ...

I know that Bash supports the `ulimit' command, and you can read the manpage of bash for finding out how it works. However, you will find it pretty inconvenient to set this limit pretty low, since a single command line can generate an arbitrary amount of `forked' processes. Think of commands like: % ls -l | grep PATTERN | sort | uniq | more There are five processes in there, not counting the parent-shell. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."

FreeBSD's disklabels are extremely more convenient and flexible, therefore no need to support what is considered a terrible DOS "feature". Since "extended" partitions are such a horrid cludge that they are, you can only use "primary" partitions for your FreeBSD installations. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."

It's already running Windows and, much as I wish it was otherwise, I need to keep running Windows part time on that system. I really don't want to have to re-install Windows, either. Is it hopeless or is there some way to make this work? I did see one message from someone who said he had installed FreeBSD in an extended partition. and the novice install (in sysinstall) seems to accept it when I tell it to make the extended partition into a FreeBSD partition, although I bailed before it actually did anything.

I understand the structure of a Word Doc, which is really a binary form, goes at the end and any changes could massively FUBAR the document.

I'd suggest copying all important files from that 2 Gb partition to your first Windows Partition. Then use "Partition magic" to move the FreeBSD partition to the beginning of the disk, because some people have reported problems with starting BSD from a partition over that 4 Gb limit. You can still leave the Windows partition as active (which will then be the second partition of the disk). After all this, delete that extended partition and create a primary BSD partition over it. The rest is probably easy and boring to describe... Giving 2 Gb to FreeBSd might seem like an overkill, at least at first, but you'll get to appreciate that extra feeling of space "freedom" when you try compiling some large meta-port with a lot of dependencies ;) Ciao. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."

No, that's a definite "maybe". Some drives do this from time to time. It's also possible that it's the disk controller. It's not a good sign, but many drives continue for years with just a sporadic interrupt timeout.

I'm not sure I understand the difference. If 'j' is a command and 'J' is a command, one of them is a "keystroke combination". Two letters are also a keystroke combination, you just need to get them right. The difference with Emacs is that you don't just use the shift key, you also use the control and meta keys. This may take a little getting used to (especially if you're using the standard broken keyboard layout that replaces control with CapsLock), but if you have to repeat either a keystroke combination or a two letter command, you'll soon realise how much easier the keystroke combination is. > Like i said, i don't want to start a war here, but i am a student > and i want to develop solid skills with a good, powerful editor. > Right now, i'm trying to decide between these two.

And far jump addresses are generally 32 or 64 bits :-). So, unless your compiler is smart about optimizing near/far jumps, you may be slighly penalized if you use FAR addressing when it isn't necessary. Near addresses are signed, and use addressing relative to the current address pointer in memory. (And, as such, can go backwards or forwards). Far addresses are unsigned, and specify an absolute (or nearly absolute) address in memory. By "nearly absolute", unless you're storing the jump address in a register and using a "jump register"-style opcode (in the hardware, that is :-), the entire jump address won't fit in the opcode field. So, as Greg mentioned, the entire address may still not fit. The implementation will generally get around this by "borrowing" the necessary high bits from the current address pointer. But...

From where you were reading: # mkdir /usr/var create a new directory # cd /var move to the old /var directory # tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - ) copy its contents # cd / get out of the directory *** add the following line *** # mv /var /VAR move file system out of the way # ln -s /usr/var /var now link to the new directory *** add: *** Before rebooting, remove the entry for /var from /etc/fstab.

Yes, but unfortunately the result isn't the same. You will now have a symlink /var/var pointing to /usr/var.

Right now, the easiest way is: # mv /var /VAR # ln -s /usr/var /var Another problem you might run into in this area is that your /var/tmp file system might have the wrong permissions. It should look like: # ls -ld /var/tmp drwxrwxrwt 5 root wheel 1536 Jan 25 16:07 /var/tmp Note that the permissions string at the beginning of the line must end with a 't'. If it doesn't look like this, enter the following command: # chmod 1777 /var/tmp Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

All the generic unix books are 98% germane to FreeBSD. IMHO, a generic "unix" certification would be more useful than a FreeBSD-specific one. As an employee, I think I'd be more marketable that way. On the other side, any manager has certainly heard of "unix," but may not know about FreeBSD. I just quit a job where the Big Boss was obsessed with certifications because he was not competent to judge a person's qualifications for himself. True Story number 1 - Big Boss: "What do you do for fun?" Me: "Well, I've been playing around with this FreeBSD unix thing." BB: "Unix, eh? Would you be interested in pursuing an MCSE Certification?"

Rather, they have some public recognition as a result of enormous amounts of money being poured into marketing them. I know quite a few rather clueless people holding multiple certifications; they aren't necessarily any assurance that someone knows what they are doing.

I'm running FreeBSD 3.4-RC on a pentium 75 system with 16 MB ram, an adaptec 1542CF, two SCSI-2 disks, a SCSI DAT, and a SCSI cdrom. My system seems to thrash the disks a lot (mainly while expunging messages in Pine when I have several hundred messages in my inbox). I have softupdates enabled, so I would presume this thrashing is due to paging. I'm thinking of increasing the ram to 32 MB. What is not clear to me is how the aha driver handles DMA and more than 16 MB of ram. I do recall that bounce buffers were dropped after FreeBSD 2.2.8. Am I to assume that DMA will no longer work if I increase my ram? (I'm assuming that the busmastering capabilities of this card are enabled for 16 MB or less in 3.X ??). Will I be stuck with PIO mode, or will it only resort to PIO mode when copying to memory locations above 16 MB? Should I upgrade the ram, or would I be better off upgrading to a busmastering PCI adapter first? -- Ralph Strohschein ralph@tinynet.hamilton.on.ca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 25 19:20: 8 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cronus.oanet.com (cronus.oanet.com [204.209.13.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6CD4014E45 for ; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 19:18:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jmclaugh@oanet.com) Received: from grandslam (dialin1108.edm.oa.net [207.153.5.175]) by cronus.oanet.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id UAA10689 for ; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 20:18:11 -0700 (MST) Message-ID: <000801bf67ad$20798060$0300a8c0@grandslam> From: "jmclaugh" To: Subject: pci bus internal modem on freebsd unix system Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 20:26:23 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0005_01BF6772.72A96520" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BF6772.72A96520 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Sir Is it possible to us a PCI internal modem with a FreeBSC Unix system?

I was installing FreeBSD onto an old box of mine which contained a stock Soundblaster/Matsushita cdrom...durring the install or FreeX86 the system crashed with an error of (6 I believe), anyhow it couldn't access a 1024byte sector, and kept looking, causing the install to "loop" since it failed... I finally tryed ejecting the disk durring an error message, and found that no finger prints or scratches, uppon replacing the disk the installer would nolonger recognize the drive... I shutdown and tryed restarting the install, but it still wouldn't recognize the cdrom drive, so I tried it under DOS/Windows with appropriate drives, and what concers me is that it dosn't work there either... So In conclusion durring a FreeBSD install my drive became toast, and I thought I should report it, and see if you can tell me a solution since I am at ends.... thanks, hope this is an isolated incident Nathan Elliott nelliott@gladstone.uoregon.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 25 19:36: 8 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from rhubarb.fwi.com (rhubarb.fwi.com [209.84.175.126]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ED91614CBB for ; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 19:35:55 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from peeter@rhubarb.fwi.com) Received: (from peeter@localhost) by rhubarb.fwi.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id WAA07605 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 22:41:47 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from peeter) Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 22:41:47 -0500 From: Peeter Pirn To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Wyse 60 HOWTO Message-ID: <20000125224147.B7516@rhubarb.fwi.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I think that this document is appropriate for the mailing list archive.

SYSTEM: FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE Cyclom 8Yo+ IDE multiport serial card Wyse 60 terminal connected on /dev/ttyc00 (Port 1 on the Cyclom card) SYNOPSIS: If your users can live without X-Windows, adding terminals to your FreeBSD system is an affordable way to add users without building a LAN. After reconfiguring and rebuilding the kernel, I installed the Cyclom card using default settings. I followed the steps in the FreeBSD Handbook (12.4.3.3. Configuring the cy driver) for configuring the cy driver except for one major exception -- Port 1 on the Cyclom card is ttyc00, not ttyc0. I asked the freebsd-questions mailing list about how to properly cable a terminal room. The responses I got led me to discover the Yost Serial Device Wiring Standard (http://yost.com/computers/RJ45-serial/index.html). I assembled the cabling and tools to follow this standard and then connected a port on the Cyclom card to a Wyse terminal accordingly. The /etc/ttys file was then edited and the Wyse terminal was configured for vt100 terminal behavior. VENDORS: The list of vendors I used is listed below. All of these vendors sold me good products in a prompt and professional manner. I purchased the Cyclades Cyclom 8-Yo+ ISA (8-port) multiport serial card from www.sellcom.com. I purchased a Wyse 60 terminal from an Ebay auction. (The seller was Midwest Computer Brokers in Iowa.) For cabling between the Cyclom 8-Yo and the Wyse 60 terminal, I chose to follow the Yost Serial Device Wiring Standard (http://yost.com/computers/RJ45-serial/index.html). I purchased a Paladin PC Cable-Check PC cable tester from the Yahoo store. (The seller was www.web-tronics.com.) I purchased RJ45 plugs, an RJ45 crimp tool and Cat 5 cable from www.appleseedelectronics.com. I purchased RJ45 F to DB25 M adapters from www.pccables.com. I purchased DB25 F-to-F gender changers from www.stonecomputer.com. I special-ordered AMP Half Tap Filled Tel-Splice Connectors (AMP P/N 553017-2) and the Tel-Splice Crimp Tool (AMP P/N 231839-1) from www.newark.com. PROCEDURE: Kernel Configuration: I checked dmesg to see if there were other devices using IRQ 10 or memory addresses 0xd4000-0xd5FFF, which are the defaults in the kernel config file line for the Cyclom card (found in /sys/i386/conf/LINT and shown below). I did not find any, so I left the IRQ and memory location specified in the kernel config line alone. I copied the following line from /sys/i386/conf/LINT into my local kernel config file, also in /sys/i386/conf. # Cyclades multi-port serial card (Cyclades 8-Yo+) device cy0 at isa? tty irq 10 iomem 0xd4000 iosiz 0x2000 I confirmed in the Cyclom Y User's Guide pp.23-24 that the default dip switch settings corresponded to the IO and memory parameters specified in the kernel config. They did. I then rebuilt the kernel according to the FreeBSD Handbook (5.2. Building and Installing a Custom Kernel). Cyclom Card Installation: I then shut down the machine and installed the Cyclom 8-Yo+ card in an available ISA slot without changing the dip switches. After rebooting the system, I saw in dmesg that the kernel had properly detected the Cyclom card: cy0 irq 10 maddr 0xd4000 msize 8192 on isa (8192 = 0x2000, so the kernel config line does indeed match the dmesg output.) Though I did not encounter an IRQ conflict or IO memory conflict, I did note that the FreeBSD mailing list archive does contain articles about what specifically some people did to remedy such conflicts. Serial Cabling: My terminals can be up to 80 feet away from the server. I posted a question to the freebsd-questions mailing list asking how real terminal rooms are wired. I received some helpful hints which led me to the Yost Serial Device Wiring Standard (http://yost.com/computers/RJ45-serial/index.html). Instead of using different kinds of cables for various serial communications configurations, this standard always uses the same cable between any two serial devices (DCE or DTE). The difference between DCE and DTE is handled by constructing one custom adapter for DCE-s and another for DTE-s. The cables I used were standard CAT5 cables (I had to be mindful of how wires of a twisted pair were assigned to RJ45 plug pins, however. The standard specifies what to do.) I constructed the cables using CAT5 cables, RJ45 plugs, an RJ45 crimp tool and the standard. The custom adapters were DB25 M to RJ45 F adapters, specially wired to be either for DTE or for DCE and to conform to the standard. Instead of soldering wires 4 and 5 of the RJ45 end together, I chose to splice them using AMP Half Tap Filled Tel-Splice Connectors (AMP P/N 553017-2). (The corresponding crimp tool is the Tel-Splice Crimp Tool (AMP P/N 231839-1).) A Cyclom serial port and a Wyse 60 terminal are both DTE-s, so I made two Yost DTE adapters and plugged one into Port 1 of the serial card (with the help of a DB25 F-to-F gender changer) and the other into the MODEM port on the Wyse 60 terminal. The correct pin connections across two Yost DB25-to-RJ45 adapters, when connected with a Yost cable for the Cyclom-serial-port-to-Wyse-terminal (DTE-to-DTE, i.e., null-modem) connection, are: TD 2 -----\/------ 2 RD 3 -----/\------ 3 RTS 4 -----\/------ 4 CTS 5 -----/\------ 5 SG 7 ------------- 7 CD 8 ----\ /------ 8 X DTR 20----/ \------ 20 I confirmed this with a cable tester. It is my observation that buying cable, plugs, crimp tools, adapters, splice connectors and even a cable tester pays for itself when considering the difference in price between one PC and one terminal. If you're installing multiple terminals, you will save a lot of money over installing PC-s. Configure the terminal: Turn on the Wyse 60 terminal and type Shift-Setup to enter the configuration menu. The following settings may be enough to get things working: F1 DISP: COLUMNS=80, LINES=24 F2 GENERAL: PERSONALITY=VT 100, COM MODE=FULL DUPLEX, DATA/PRINTER=MODEM/AUX, RCVD CR=CR, ENHANCE=ON, END OF LINE WRAP=ON, AUTO SCRL=ON, SEND ACK=ON F4 COMM: BAUD RATE=19200, DATA/STOP BITS=8/1, PARITY=NONE, RCV HANDSHAKE=XON/XOFF, XMT HNDSHAKE=XON/XOFF, XPC HNDSHAKE=OFF The serial connection is made with the Modem port. Configure the Cyclades Driver: See the FreeBSD Handbook (12.4.3.3. Configuring the cy driver). Configure the Serial Port: See the FreeBSD Handbook (14.2.3. Terminal Configuration). Here are the relevant lines out of my /etc/ttys file: # # Serial devices connected to Cyclades Cyclom 8-Yo+ (cy0) 8-port # multiport serial card ttyc00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" vt100 on insecure Once /etc/ttys is ready, there is no need to reboot.

On the 64MB machine I was getting core dumps on Samba and amd, and never quite tracked down as to why. The two machines were built from the same sources, have identical mother boards and pretty much the same config.. except the ram.... you see where I'm going. Steady is not the word I would use for the Linux boxes running Samba.... even more ram can't keep these buggers up. Solaris seems to deal with Samba just fine.

I'm familiar with the NetBSD ones and my own set which are derrived from the NetBSD ones. While I've not tested it yet, I like the look of the support for read-only source trees in bsd.obj.mk However, the fact that FreeBSD's sys.mk includes bsd.own.mk strikes me as a bad idea. It certainly breaks one of my build environments. Because it gets included so early on in the makefile parsing, it might as well be full of VAR=val rather than VAR?=val. This sort of thing makes it far more difficult than necessary to use make and the /usr/share/mk macros for building projects other than /usr/src. One of my goals for the project that I'm working on is to derrive maximum benefit from the /usr/share/mk macros while as far as possible avoiding local hacks. I made a quick attempt to search the gnats database to see if there are any PR's that caused the current setup to evolve and also tried searching the mailing list archive without much luck. I'd love to hear from any FreeBSD developer who can (and is intersted in) discussing the current FreeBSD macro setup and why it has evolved this way. I'm happy to raise PR's but that seems a bit premature at this stage.

No. Not the RBL. tcp-wrappers has a patch which when applied permits you to reference a FILE NAME in place of an machine address/name. Therefore in a hosts.deny you can enter (for example) pop : /etc/hosts.fylname : DENY and the file "/etc/hosts.fylname" will be treated as a continuous list of IP's. This makes adding an IP to the wrappers rejection list _very_ easy. FreeBSD 3.3 still did not have this wrappers patch applied, and therefore I could not utilize this feature of wrappers. -- Jim Pazarena mailto:paz@ccstores.com http://www.qcislands.net/paz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 25 22:34:23 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from quark.pioneernet.net (pop3.pioneernet.net [208.240.196.25]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 07AF714C3B for ; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 22:34:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from chip@wiegand.org) Received: from wiegand.org (sb26.pioneernet.net [208.194.173.26]) by quark.pioneernet.net with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2650.21) id DS95YY6S; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 22:34:01 -0800 Message-ID: <388D4558.26F762ED@wiegand.org> Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 22:40:24 -0800 From: Chip Wiegand X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.9-19mdk i486) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: William Woods Cc: "f.johan.beisser" , Daniel Brownstone , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: DSL natd rules....

I'm not sure, but that may complicate things a bit? Not this particular issue. Your problem is reclaiming the space for /var after you stop using it.

I don't think there is any program out there which handles word wrap correctly. It's much more complicated than a normal program can handle. Turn word wrap off and press Enter at the appropriate time. Netscape won't help you; in fact, it makes it almost impossible to send properly formatted mail.

Then I will also mention that in my class at the UW (Seattle) there are some people who have *apparently* never even seen a computer, let alone touch or use one. They just think they will get one of those $60K jobs that they heard were out there for MCSE's. A story in class goes like this - A new MCSE was hired by a company to administer its network, then when asked to create some shared folders was unable to do so! At least in the class at the UW we get to learn common real-world networking, not just how to pass the exams. For me, I'm hoping that this and my Linux and now bsd experiance, networking them and winnt, win95/98, will help me get a higher paying job. I have a 6 pc network at home running these 4 os's and am having a ball learing how to make them all work together.

A beowulf is a merely a bunch of computer connected in some way defined to perform a common task. The simplest beowulf may be to create a shell script on one computer that use rsh to load work onto other computers. If the task at hand is easy to partition into (equally sized) parts, then the rsh way is very easy and requires no special programming. On the other end of the scale you can use such special libraries as MPICH (see ports) to make message passing between all your machines transparent to you. MPICH distributes the data to a number of predefined machines (defined in a list), and contains very powerful functions for gathering and distributing data between the individual boxes. A living example of the feasibility of FreeBSD Beowulf is the movie The Matrix. All its renderings were done in FreeBSD run on 32 Dell boxes with dual 450MHz PII's. Cheers, /Micke PS. Install MPICH from ports onto two machines. The port contains some small test programs, to give you an idea of it power. ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.1 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 25 22:57:20 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from vcnet.com (mail.vcnet.com [209.239.239.15]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 7CAC015006 for ; Tue, 25 Jan 2000 22:57:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jpr@vcnet.com) Received: (qmail 67215 invoked from network); 26 Jan 2000 06:57:12 -0000 Received: from joff.vc.net (HELO ?209.239.239.22?)

True, but on the other side of the house you got a number of seasoned what so called Network Engineers with xx years of experience lack that solid analytical systematic approach of problem solving as soon something deviates from the standard routine come and see their clueless faces! you will see lack of systematic approach of problem solving thereof. Analytical approach to Problem solving comes from both education and experience, not from one or the other only. In the contrary you got paper certificate people who can create more harm then good after graduating from what is called Boot Camp Certification they think they know it all! Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that every Boot Camp Graduate is a paper certified this technique is useful for the. experienced, but not otherwise in my opinion. So Certification is a double edged knife depending how you use it but usually beneficial if combined with experience. > If anything, I view these certs as an doomed attempt to create > a commodity market in technical talent. Not Really doomed, a Cisco CCIE go through a rigorous hands on lab exams of configuring the nastiest network you can ever encounter. You can't pass such an exam in a boot camp because if you have not worked extensively with Cisco Routers you will not pass the exam.period. Besides there are only about 5000 Cisco Certified in the whole entire world, so the market is in real need of Certified technical staff. Red Hat RACE is one booming certificate that is not that bad in my opinion because you still have to pass a lab and a troubleshooting test. M$ needs to implement a Lab exam for it to be of any value? FreeBSD Certification I hope I can see one in the future may be one of these days it would be nice to have one solid hands on Lab exam or something similar to the Red Had One. It is also a way of promoting and helping the cause of the Awesome FreeBSD OS. It is not a money rip off, no body slapped any one in the hands saying that you got to be certified. If employers require it, then they are the one to blame and should pay for it.

(I have several years of PC computer experience with a variety of operating systems, including technical support representative for two software publishers.) The fact that the drive was, as you say, in an old box, and subsequently DOA in DOS adds to my suspicion. I do not believe that there is anything in the driver/firmware interface which would precipitate the drive failure.

I've been searching archives, trying to find out why there's no smbmount program for FreeBSD.

However, what I didn't like, is that when I umount /path/ previously mounted with shlight, shlight processes still remain in memory, and I didn't find out how to avoid this.

Therefore they collide. 2) The Win95 machine uses DHCP, and the DHCP server also assigns IP adresses already in use by the server. This may come by the matter that the DHCP does not recognize that a certain IP is assigned statically on the network, and therefore thinking its still free. Check DHCP IP tables and mask the IP in question.

Hi! Check your network, you have a severe routing problem, regardimg forwarding of DHCP services to other subnets not intended to be DHCP'ed... Any switches there that may act funny? Or some nat services running, with no proper forwarding etc? Somewhere sits a DHCP, but due to some misconfig etc. communications come through... Or there are some real weird problems there.

This is a choice. when you write a program like thisand you call bind() and find that the port is already in use, you have two choices: - abort - sleep and retry The problem with the abort approach is when the program is started by an auxilairy script. There is no user at the console to restart it. so it's better to live with the logs! if you're on the console, you'll still be able to stop the program, check your sockets and other things. otherwise, things will work correctly after some time. well, not completely! if you run the program twice, then the log below will be endless. but this is however better than not having the service started because the last socket data is still not cleaned. A better approcah (this is still my opinion) would be to rerty only a fixed number of time (there is no need to retry or 1 hour!) and stop if bind() fails. not sure if exim does it this way or if it works like the FWTK proxies (which retry for ever). I guess exim was inspired fromthe FWTK and would retry for ever, but didn't see the code (nor do I use it!). regards, mouss T.

I got nowhere with sound (pcm) and apm also seems not to work. I tried booting with a PCCARD config kernel and it detects the insertion of a Hayes OPTIMA 56K but pccardd cannot supply resources. Before I go and supply all the details I wondered if anyone has a 600E running 3.4 or even 3.3 who could provide any config details needed to get most of it to work. The DSP chip seems to hog a lot of IRQs under Windows (98) in fact I am not sure what IRQs are available on a 600E for pccardd to use. Rebooting in to Win98 ends up with no COM1 and the DSP modem gets flakey but all is well if the system is power cycled rather than rebooted. I guess I may have to wait for PAO-3.4 but would be quite happy if I could just get a modem card to work. Sound would be nice. I suppose 4.0 will work even better ..... not too inclined to jump in to current just yet or can someone recommend a snapshot date?

However, in FreeBSD, most of the daemons you are interested in are built with wrappers, a functionality not found in the Linux implementations. For instance, inetd in 3.3 and later is wrappers ready and you do not even need to refer to the tcpd daemon. As for host.deny, this file is not longer used in 3.3 and later. If you have installed the tcp_wrappers port in 3.4, you should remove the port and use the built in functionality. *==============================================* *Gene Harris http://www.tetronsoftware.com* *FreeBSD Novice * *All ORBS.org SMTP connections are denied! * *==============================================* On Tue, 25 Jan 2000, Jim Pazarena wrote: > To answer my own question: > > The wrappers which is built in to inetd on 3.4 does NOT have the blacklist > patch (which was supplied by Wietse Venema the creator of wrappers). > > This makes the utilization of wrappers within inetd less than ideal. > Can anyone confirm if this patch will be applied in any future version > of FreeBSD? 3.5 perhaps? > > ----------------------------------- > > From: Jim Pazarena > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 14:38:02 -0800 (PST) > > >Subject: Re: inetd with wrappers built-in > >Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 21:01:38 +0000 > >From: George Cox > > >On 24/01 10:02, Jim Pazarena wrote: > > >> Can anyone confirm yay/nay if the wrappers which is built-in > >> to the inetd on 3.4 has the blacklist patch compiled into it? > > >You sound like you mean the RBL "Real-time blackhole list" spam filter. > >Any filtering inetd does is based on the IP address of the connecting host. > >It is up to an application level process to filter content. > > > No. Not the RBL. tcp-wrappers has a patch which when applied permits > you to reference a FILE NAME in place of an machine address/name. > Therefore in a hosts.deny you can enter (for example) > > pop : /etc/hosts.fylname : DENY > > and the file "/etc/hosts.fylname" will be treated as a continuous list > of IP's. > > This makes adding an IP to the wrappers rejection list _very_ easy. > FreeBSD 3.3 still did not have this wrappers patch applied, and therefore > I could not utilize this feature of wrappers. > > > > -- > Jim Pazarena mailto:paz@ccstores.com > http://www.qcislands.net/paz > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 26 5:19: 5 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mgw-out.comptel.com (mgw-out.comptel.com [195.237.145.101]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C6DD414ECB for ; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 05:19:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from stefan.parvu@comptel.com) Received: from ctlfw1 ([195.237.145.97]) by mgw-out.comptel.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.5.1877.197.19); Wed, 26 Jan 2000 15:18:59 +0200 Received: from mgw-in.comptel.com ([192.102.20.150]) by ctlfw1.comptel.com; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 15:18:03 +0000 (EET) Received: from comptel.com ([195.237.135.174]) by mgw-in.comptel.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.5.1877.197.19); Wed, 26 Jan 2000 15:18:56 +0200 Message-ID: <388EF370.ED65535F@comptel.com> Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 15:15:28 +0200 From: stefan parvu Reply-To: stefan.parvu@comptel.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: 1.gzip kernel and 2.RTMX extensions Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, I would like to ask you some questions: 1. If I have in my kernel config file the support for gzip and I want to gzip the kernel. When I am trying to boot it is said: can't boot because of the format of the kernel. So what can be wrong? There are some explanations steps how can we build a small kernel and to gzip after that? I'd like to do this how-to file when I have free time and to send to you. It helps and I think. Here as well we can discuss and put more effort in modules details. 2. I spent some time looking after some Real-Time extensions for FreeBSD. Well, it seems that RTMX will gonna use OpenBSD as their platform to develop a RTOS. So how about FreeBSD ? There are some real-time extensions for our kernel?

My name's André. I'm a newbie on the FreeBSD world. I'm writing a program that uses graphics video modes. A few days ago I looked for a "Video Graphics Library" (VGL) documentation file. The man-page hasn't the information I need: it only explains the purpose and use of the functions like VGLInit, etc, but it doesn't explain the parameters of the functions (like "VGLInit(..., int mode, ...)", e.g.). I searched the www.freebsd.org web-site but I didn't find the documentation I need. Can anyone tell me where can I find the documentation I need about the VGL? Thanks in advance.

Well, i installed emacs 19 and then 20 (didn't see much of a difference, IIRC, but the problem i had was there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the key bindings. The keys for moving the cursor make some sense, but when it comes to extra commands, well, it just doesn't seem intuitive.

Windows 98/NT clients have all sorts of stupid WINS related bugs. Basically, here, users always moan that on NT, a "Network is too slow" dialog pops up all the time. This turned out to be mis-configured NT boxes. Check the client configs again and knock the wotsit parameter (TM) on the Samba server - The election winning probability one (cant remeber the name) to something silly high. This seemed to kill it for a while but it's back again recently. It seems to be fighting with the NT servers a bit.

So, any help would be appreciated. Dear David C. Maple, I include here my own working "experimental" examples: I run four locales, each as a different user.

Does tcsh have similar capabilities? If you're using tcsh you can do, for a simple prompt: set prompt = "${mch:q}: {\!} " and shove that in your .cschrc or .tcshrc. There are certainly more complicated things you can do! This won't tell you what directory you're in, but ... man tcsh to see the options (scroll down to the prompt environment variable) or install dotfile (/usr/ports/misc/dotfile) and have a tk based gui to configure your prompt. Add a %/ to get the current working directory for instance. This can get long so you're better off doing something like %c[[0]3] will give the 3 trailing components of the current working directory.

This is very significant for negative caching. As a result, this value should not be used for the default TTL and a new directive to specify the default has been added. You probably want to do the following: 1. Insert the line "$TTL 1D" before the SOA in every zone file. 2. Change the minimum TTL in the SOA to a value more appropriate to a real minimum, say 600 or 900. Once this is done, the $TTL will be used as default for all records not containing an explicit TTL and the SOA minimum TTL value will be used as the TTL for negative entries and as the actual minimum TTL. In previous versions of BIND these (true minimum and negative cache TTLs) were hard coded. Minimum TTL does not preclude setting the TTL for one or more records to zero.

I'll have to replace all this on an application basis. So I have to keep the actual NT server for the original applications. For now, applications are used with an URL like http://www.company.com/application And I would like to setup things so that the applications which are on the FreeBSD server can also be accessed the same way. I already install a FreeBSD/IPFilter firewall between the web server and the internet. So the question is what software should I use on the firewall to forward requests to http://company.com/NTapplication to the NT server, and forwarding http://company.com/BSDapplication to the FreeBSD server ? I guess it sounds like the software should be a proxy, but it may not be necessary to install a full proxy to just forward url requests to the machine they belong. Note that some applications uses secure http (https) so the software has to support it. Thanks for reading, Erik PS. I recently moved to Austin, TX. So if there are some Austin FreeBSD users outthere, let me know :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 26 8:59:34 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from jasper.heartland.ab.ca (jasper.heartland.ab.ca [207.107.228.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1D24714D37 for ; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 08:58:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dkwiebe@hagenhomes.com) Received: from hagenhomes.com (dyn122.heartland.ab.ca [207.107.228.122]) by jasper.heartland.ab.ca (8.9.0/8.9.0) with ESMTP id JAA21011; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 09:39:17 -0700 (MST) Message-ID: <388F278E.3429A65F@hagenhomes.com> Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 09:57:50 -0700 From: Darren Wiebe Organization: Hagen Homes Ltd.

I've directed replies to the questions mailing list to keep this from spreading. Second, if the win machine is configured to "automatically assign IP address", it's getting that address from a DHCP server and you've stolen one of the addresses doled out by the DHCP server. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I wasn't able to find this information in the handbook or on the freebsd.org website, so would appreciate any answers or pointers to documents I missed. The Project: I need to develop a high speed network sniffer in order to debug an application running on Windows NT. The sniffer needs to capture traffic at 200-300Mbps (25MBps-38MBps) and write packets (or at least headers) to disk, limited only by the amount of disk. Our NT application runs on a dual PIII 600, using sysKonnect or Alteon Gigabit Ethernet cards and writes upwards of 200Mbps to disk using software RAID 0; I assume I would need a similar configuration for the FreeBSD box. My questions include: - what is the maximum filesize (we would exceed 2GB in less than 2 minutes)? - what is the state of SMP support (the SMP project page is out of date)? - are there any vinum limitations that would prevent me from capturing ~100GB worth of traffic? - any other limits? Any information or comments on the viability of the project would be very helpful.

There are two places to check: First check the "/etc/rc.conf" file, specially the section: firewall_enable="NO" # Set to YES to enable firewall functionality. if you dont have this line, then its ok. Second check if you dont have it compiled in to the kernel, look for the lines that look like this: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT _TO_ACCEPT options IPDIVERT You could have just one of this lines, or all of them, just delete them, and rebuild your kernel. > The another problem that i have is that i want to disable one of the interfeces > card for ever, but i want to be sure that when i disable it the software don´t > send me any messages about the card.....¿where can i disable for ever? In the kernel you can disable any device that you are not using, or you dont want to use any more. Have Fun...

It sounds like you tried to do a fresh install of 3.4-RELEASE. There is a bug in the sysinstall program for 3.4-RELEASE that causes a signal 11 for some choices. See the errata file at ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.4-RELEASE/ERRATA.TXT for more information about how to deal with it. Basically, you can either use different menu choices to accomplish the same thing, or you can download a fixed version of the MFSROOT floppy. To upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4, though, it seems to me that it might be better to CVSUP the latest source, then build a new system. That way you get all of the latest updates (since the 3.4 release) and you don't lose your configuration files. If you don't have hard drive space for the source, or time for a slow processor to build the system (about a day on a 486), that might not be an option for you. Chapter 17 of the FreeBSD handbook explains how to do this: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html Good luck! -- Bob >Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 10:17:29 PST >From: Alan Char >Subject: FreeBSD 3.4 Upgrade crashese > >Hi.

Maybe it is trying to start at boot but running into an error somewhere and giving up. Have you tried looking for interesting messages in your log files?

When I use the java/jdk port, I SPORADICALLY get lots of these: ld-elf.so.1: assert failed: /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/lockdflt.c:55 When I examine the produced core-file it turns out that java ends up blowing its stack (about 4500 frames deep) calling the function here (the function tries to acquire a lock on something or other). Has this seen before. 2. My tape drive is no longer noticed. I have done a MAKEDEV all. In particular, mecca# mt stat mt: /dev/nrsa0: Device not configured But the kernel is the same kernel as before (modulo upgraded to 3.4, but same configuration file) and dmesg reports that the device is found: sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 3 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 32) And the devices appear to be in order: mecca# ls -al /dev/*sa0* crw-rw---- 2 root operator 14, 2 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/ersa0 crw-rw---- 2 root operator 14, 2 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/ersa0.0 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 14, 6 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/ersa0.1 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 14, 10 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/ersa0.2 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 14, 14 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/ersa0.3 crw-rw---- 2 root operator 14, 1 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/nrsa0 crw-rw---- 2 root operator 14, 1 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/nrsa0.0 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 14, 5 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/nrsa0.1 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 14, 9 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/nrsa0.2 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 14, 13 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/nrsa0.3 crw-rw---- 2 root operator 14, 0 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/rsa0 crw-rw---- 2 root operator 14, 0 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/rsa0.0 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 14, 4 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/rsa0.1 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 14, 8 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/rsa0.2 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 14, 12 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/rsa0.3 crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 14, 0x20000000 Jan 23 18:26 /dev/rsa0.ctl Does anyone have any thoughts on either of these two issues?

Sounds a lot like you need to use Passive FTP. This could be because you're behind a firewall, or because your ppp gateway is set up to be quite picky about what packets it lets back into your netork. See the "passive" command in the ftp(1) manual page. Ciao, Sheldon.

I continued the upgrade anyway and got a GENERIC 3.4 kernel, but when I create a custom kernel, it comes out 3.1. ok, let's try make world, but that dies after many minutes (Pent 120) with: "cd: can't cd to /usr/src/libnetgraph Error Code 2" I just spent 3 unsuccessful days with cvsup and 6 different cvsup sites in Europe and USA across our 1 mbit/sec line, no thanks. (inactivity timeout during first checkout line, or 24+ hours before I gave up) Does this mean I have to go find and buy FreeBSD retail 3.4 cdroms (for a 3rd time) to upgrade from 3.1? iow, I can't simply upgrade from 3.1 to 3.4 with 300 megs of .iso image cdroms and obtain kernel sources for custom kernal creation? With retail commercial cdroms, will I have to wipe out each of my 3.x machines and re-do a full re-install just like Windows?

During boot up the 3COM 3C509B is assigned IRQ 5. I go through the install and a connection appears to be made to the FTP server. The install then hangs while attempting to extract bin to /. I mention the 3COM 3C509B as it is not picked up during the install of Linux and given its old age, thought FreeBSD might also have a problem. So, is my install problem likely caused by the 3COM NIC? If so, are there some extra settings I can specify when I define the network settings to get this to work? I am not going through a proxy at the current time.

The number is the TTL (Time To Live) for the record. The record has been cached by the server you queried with a defined TTL which starts counting down immediately. This is set up in the BIND datafile either in the SOA record (BIND versions before 8.2) and with a $TTL declaration (V8.2 and higher). Good BIND admins set large TTLs for things which rarely change and smaller TTL for less stable items. Once a system caches the data, the TTL starts decrementing. When it reaches zero, it will no longer be set out in a response and the authoritative source will be queried. This new data is then cached for the TTL specified. Every record comes with a TTL and that TTL is defined by the nameserver which is authoritative for that record. So the A RR for b.ns.verio.net will remain in the cache for an additional 1 day, 7 hours, 6 minutes and 2 seconds after the query you made. somedomain.com will remain the same for 55 minutes and 3 seconds. This means that all queries for a given record will be resolved the same way until TTL expires regardless of what the authoritative data on the master server says. The only exception to this is when the DNS on the server you are querying is restarted since the cache is in memory and the server always starts with an empty cache. R.

If I understand correctly, it will bring up one of the links whenever you have traffic, and when that link reaches its capacity, it will bring up the second link and start moving traffic through both of them. ppp can probably handle your nat requirements as well. If you need traffic to move both directions at will, i.e. incoming connections must be able to reach your network, ppp can be told to always keep the link up. You may be able to get it to keep one link up at all times, and the other only when needed (if isdn time isn't costing anything, then that doesn't really matter, anyway). -- Bob Bob Johnson Local Network Administrator USDA - ARS - CMAVE Gainesville, Florida 352-374-5856 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 26 13:23:48 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from shell.jeah.net (shell2.jeah.net [216.132.235.175]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9EAA415189 for ; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 13:23:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from chris@shell.jeah.net) Received: (from chris@localhost) by shell.jeah.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) id PAA03850 for questions@FreeBSD.org; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 15:23:44 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from chris) Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 15:23:44 -0600 (CST) From: Chris Byrnes Message-Id: <200001262123.PAA03850@shell.jeah.net> To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Not enough file descriptors/child processes?

Look at the chsh/chpass(1), passwd(5) man pages. You have to change the /etc/passwd entry for the user you want the shell to be changed, either by using vipw (editing the whole file as root in a ee or vi editor) or by using chsh (_ch_ange _sh_ell) when logged in as the user who wants to do so. You can only use shells validated by entries in /etc/shells, which is always done for /bin/sh and /bin/csh and also by shells installed through the ports/packages mechanism, like bash (/usr/local/bin/bash) or others.

You could use lpr or lprng (in the ports) and let the Windoze boxes print to an lpr printer (I think it's called LPD printer in '98, and LPR printer in NT, but I'm not very sure.) Both works.

You could probably use different accounts for e-mail or handle e-mail passwords in a separate password database which is apart from /etc/passwd and has nothing to do with telnet passwords. BTW, doing telnet your password and all data is also transmitted unsecured, also when entering the passwort using rlogin/rsh or ftp. For solving this, SSH will be your friend. You will need some SSH client on the machine you are connecting from and SSH on the server. While the last thing is no problem with FreeBSD (I've set up UUCP over SSH some days ago), SSH tunnels from a Windows box could be somewhat difficult, but I read articles on the FreeBSD mailing lists a while ago that the software for this is available and working.

The learning curve for vi is very painful, and I understand the curve for Emacs is no better. I'm a vi user, and use it on every platform I use: UNIX, WinNT, and Atari. I really appreciate that it's so universal. Even so, the interface sucks. It's a shame we often have religious wars over a choice where all the available religions fall so short. How am I supposed to work up a proper religious fervor for something I know sucks? Yet I use vi more than any other piece of software on the planet, and can see no good reason to change. For me it's still the best choice. *sigh* -- Jerry Dunham FreeBSD Atarian ordinaire jdunham@fc.net (512)335-0674 (H) Gerald_Dunham@dell.com (512)728-4026 (O) E Pluribus Unix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 26 14:25:34 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CF2BD14C56 for ; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 14:25:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog@freebie.lemis.com) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.9.3/8.9.0) id IAA53129; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 08:54:59 +1030 (CST) Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 08:54:59 +1030 From: Greg Lehey To: Jerry Dunham Cc: Jonathon McKitrick , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: programmer's editor choice Message-ID: <20000127085459.I44457@freebie.lemis.com> References: <20000127083154.X44457@freebie.lemis.com> <200001262222.QAA95197@freeside.fc.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0pre2i In-Reply-To: <200001262222.QAA95197@freeside.fc.net> WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog X-PGP-Fingerprint: 6B 7B C3 8C 61 CD 54 AF 13 24 52 F8 6D A4 95 EF Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Wednesday, 26 January 2000 at 16:22:07 -0600, Jerry Dunham wrote: > Greg Lehey babbled: > >> On Wednesday, 26 January 2000 at 14:11:24 +0000, Jonathon McKitrick wrote: >>> On Sat, 22 Jan 2000, Greg Lehey wrote: >>>> On Friday, 21 January 2000 at 23:39:12 +0000, Jonathon McKitrick wrote: >>> >>>>> Not to start a war or anything, but i'm trying to decide on a fast >>>>> powerful editor.

Once you get beyond a certain level of complexity, there's no way to make it intuitive. This applies to *any* editor you care to name. Hiding functionality behind a maze of twisty little menus, all different, also doesn't help. If you want that anyway, Emacs also offers menus as standard.

Although I'm probably not helping you choose, I have to say that I'm using both of these editors, along with a bunch of others. For instance, when I'm on a virtual console, I don't run Emacs, but a lighter editor, like vi(1) or joe. However, when I'm under X11, where I can afford that extra touch of color that Emacs provides, it's easy to see why I choose Emacs. Now, if I can get Emacs to quote and wrap descently my mail messages, I'll probably stop having editor=joe in my .muttrc and change it to something more fancy like editor=gnuclient, which I'd frankly prefer. > Sorry to be hitting the questions list so hard, but we got hit with a > snowstorm and i have nothing else to do today ;-) Ah well, it seems that snowing in your place causes a load peak in freebsd lists.

You can either bring temporarily down the interface of the card, or bring it down and clear any user-defined parameters. The commands for this are: # ifconfig -au This will show you the currently active interfaces. You have to pick the right one, and then issue: # ifconfig ifaceN down where ifaceN is the name of the interface. You have to replace `ifaceN' with the actual name of your interface for this to work, i.e. replace `ifaceN' with `ed0', `fxp0', `xl0', etc. Note that if you 'ifconfig down' an interface, you can later 'ifconfig up' it and it will still work, having the same parameters. This is nice for temporarily bringing down the interface, without having to rerun /etc/rc.network to bring it up. If you just want to wipe this interface clean, and reconfigure it manually (which I'm almost certain you are not up to now), you can replace 'down' with 'delete'. Careful if you use this, because the parameters of the interface (IP address, netmask, etc.) are wiped clean with 'ifconfig delete'. Nevertheless, the command (if that has any practical use to you) is: # ifconfig ifaceN down For all this and more exciting stuff about networking with FreeBSD, see the manual pages networking(4), ifconfig(8), netstat(8), etc. Ciao.

I use both, and even though I use emacs bindings less (actually I use jed with emacs bindings), I still make more mistakes in vi. For some reason, I don't think I'll ever get used to modes, and I think that is the single part of vi that causes other users problems as well (the rest of the programming team here uses vi exclusively while under unix, and they still make errors too). I don't think that emacs bindings are any easier or harder to remember than vi bindings are, it's just the modes that I trip over.

I have vim and Lemmy on my NT notebook, STeVIe on my Atari, vim and nvi on my FreeBSD machine, and nvi on my SGI. I actually like Lemmy the best. I'm writing this reply with nvi on someone else's FreeBSD machine. By far the nicest aspect of vi is that I can find an editor with the basic vi functionality on pertnear any machine I have need of using. It's called standardization. That (and inertia) keeps me with vi.

Hmmm.... The modes gave me hell when I was learning vi a decade ago, but I haven't experienced a problem with it since. I thought it was only a learning curve issue. I can fatfinger the keyboard with anything, but I seem to make no more mistakes with vi than anything else I enter text in. -- Jerry Dunham FreeBSD Atarian ordinaire jdunham@fc.net (512)335-0674 (H) Gerald_Dunham@dell.com (512)728-4026 (O) E Pluribus Unix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 26 16:19:10 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from intranova.net (blacklisted.intranova.net [209.3.31.70]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 577091546C for ; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 16:19:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from oogali@intranova.net) Received: (qmail 46557 invoked by uid 1001); 26 Jan 2000 19:21:21 -0000 Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 19:21:21 +0000 (GMT) From: Intranova Networking Group To: Oles' Hnatkevych Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: what does this kernel message mean?

Afterwards, the FreeBSD server system has no external IP connectivity until it is rebooted. (No ping, telnet, etc.) This only happens when the server is hosting ftpd, and then only intermittently. I can telnet to the machine all day long with no problems. Any ideas?

As for Linux 2.2, I think you should also be ok. It's really impossible to tell without actually trying it. Since new Linux support goes into 4.0-current first, you'll probably have a better chance of success with that. -- Lachlan O'Dea Computer Associates Pty Ltd Webmaster Vet - Anti-Virus Software http://www.vet.com.au/ "You have controlled your fear... now release your anger." - Darth Vader To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 26 17:16:10 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.twave.net (twave.net [206.100.228.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id D12F81540C for ; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 17:16:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from brameld@twave.net) Received: from [208.219.234.57] by mail.twave.net (NTMail 3.03.0018/1.abwg) with ESMTP id ea212996 for ; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 20:14:24 -0500 Message-ID: <388F9CEA.8284D85@twave.net> Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 20:18:34 -0500 From: Walter Brameld X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Peter Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: help References: <000701bf686b$c495bc40$b20524d4@lanski> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > Peter wrote: > > hi, > where can I download FreeBSD like .tgz file http://www.freebsd.org/availability.html -- Walter in·tel·lec·tu·al n.

Maybe this is a way to >get around the 2GB limit on NFS2? *grin* Well, ya know, every time I installed FreeBSD from CDROM, it always told me that it was ``starting up a holographic shell''. Although this certainly sounds way cool, I never saw any 3D images jump out at me from my monitor, so for the longest time I had no idea what this meant. Finally, burried in some obscure and unhelpful place, I found out about ALT-F4 and finally got to see the ``holographic'' shell. Maybe being able to mount more than one remote file system at the exact same single mount point gives us a ``holographic'' file system! Way cool. This could have lots of practical implications. Think about merging changes from different source code version of a various software packages. You could just put the different version on different filesystems, mount them on top of one another, and then presto! A fully merged version would appear on your holographic filesystem! This could be the best thing since perforated toilet paper!

However, I managed to get one of the clients set up but I am struggling with the only other client that I need to set up. I have this in /etc/rc.conf: nisdomainname="example.net" nis_client_enable="YES" nis_client_flags="-S example.net,web.example.net" Within a couple of minutes after booting this client machine I see the ypbind in the ps -aux but then it disappears shortly after that and it appears that it never does its job because there is nothing in /var/yp except Makefile.dist. I edited host.conf to contain this: bind nis host I edited the master.passwd with vipw to contain the "magic cookie" at the end. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please. Any command that I issue such as ypcat master.passwd gives me: %ypcat master.passwd ypcat: no such map master.passwd.byname. reason: Can't bind to server which serves this domain Any suggestions to keep me from pulling my hair out? I searched the archives but found nothing really pertaining to my exact problem in there. Thank you very much.

I really appreciate the help. I'm pretty sure that it is not FreeBSD itself, since I did a systat and top, even at peak time, I have at least 90% idle, and Swap is at max 3% used. One thing that bothered me most is the fact that this problem has never occur before. Even during the time when everyone works on their Excel and Power Point project off the server right before Thanksgiving. I haven't change any configuration since then, and the server was up for around 50 days back then... We restart the Win9X machines everyday, and they haven't act weird at all. (Heck, they act better than the time before the Samba server when they all connected to this limited edition NT server...) (Yep, this is a school... :) I'll try to change the options so that it wins the browser election along with couple other options... Any new ideas is appreciated! Thanks again for your help!

I want to set up Web Servers that can be one Large server with multiple virtual servers on it. This would have multiple Config files for Apace etc. This would allow multiple users to setup and configure Applications such as sendmail, Apache and FTp accounts on their own virtual server that is only a small part of the Overall Server. I would appreciate any input on this topic. Two suggestions, a) web search, there's tons of stuff out there that describes how to do this, including free and commercial programs that allow users to change thier own settings. Check out sendmail pro (www.sendmail.com) and browse around the apache site, i've seen stuff that allows you to include user config files. b) format your email to wrap lines at 70 characters. good luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 26 21:36:35 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from fw.wintelcom.net (ns1.wintelcom.net [209.1.153.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7E9FE1552A for ; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 21:36:33 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bright@fw.wintelcom.net) Received: (from bright@localhost) by fw.wintelcom.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) id VAA02687; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 21:59:51 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 21:59:51 -0800 From: Alfred Perlstein To: Gene Harris Cc: "James A.

In the past I have always had the frontend(proxy) and backend(mod_perl) apache procs on the same machine so I only had to twiddle with kern.ipc.maxsockbuf to give me a little better performance. But since the frontend and the back end are on different machines I am not really sure what I need to set and how high to set it or even if it can be increased at all. Well ok, I have no doubt that it can be increased but I think you get my point :^) So can anyone point me in the right direction?

My system requires 5 CDs for a level 0 backup (full backup), so it is about 5 * 650Mb ~ 3.2Gb. I run a daily perl script via periodic(8) which backs up unix filesystems (with dump(8)) and msdos filesystems (with tar(1) with timestamps), and do level 0, 1, and 2 backups. The level 1 and 2 backups go daily, I start a fresh CD with a level 1 and keep adding level 2 backups in multisession tracks (use mkisofs(1) and cdrecord(1)), until the level 1 backups are requiring 200-300Mb, then it's time for another level 0, done manually. All CD data written gets verified by the script. Works like a charm. So, unless you have a really big system, do not discount CDRW drives. they are cheap and reliable these days, and you can use them for other cool stuff besides backups, too. >I need to start doing backups.

I installed the ports directory tree when I installed the machine, however, after make downloads the .tar.gz files, it apparently compares a signature of the file to an MD5 file in the port directory, which in this case doesn't match. I tried a cvs update in the tex port directory using the anonymous cvs instructions on the freebsd.org web page; cvs said it was "ignoring CVS/Root because it specifies a non-existent repository /home/ncvs" and didn't appear to update anything. In any case, the signatures still don't match. What am I doing wrong? I'm not a cvs or ports expert... The makefile suggests using a switch to turn off the signature checking. Paranoid sort that I am, I hesitate to do that before I figure out what I did wrong... ...Craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 1: 3: 4 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from dart.sr.se (dart.SR.SE [193.12.91.98]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 86AB7153F6 for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 01:03:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gunnar@pluto.sr.se) Received: from honken.sr.se ([134.25.128.27]) by dart.sr.se (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA97366 for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 10:02:54 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from gunnar@pluto.sr.se) Received: from pluto.sr.se (pluto.SR.SE [134.25.193.91]) by honken.sr.se (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA90077 for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 10:02:54 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from gunnar@pluto.sr.se) Received: (from gunnar@localhost) by pluto.sr.se (8.9.3/8.9.3) id KAA10505 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 10:02:54 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from gunnar) Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 10:02:54 +0100 From: Gunnar Flygt To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: How-To for dial in service Message-ID: <20000127100254.D9328@sr.se> Reply-To: Gunnar Flygt Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is there a how-to to setting up a machine with a few modems to serve as a small dial in server?

I suspect a port problem which has since been fixed. That isn't to say the problem was within the rsync port (which, BTW, had a commit on 1.31 Wed Jan 26 9:22:00 2000 UTC by sumikawa, Use ${OSVERSION} instead of ${USE_INET6}).

All apparently goes well, no errors, we get to the final "remove diskettes" msg (we assume this means the install procedure sees nothing else to do), and it cold boots. "invalid partition table" (we had chosen "normal" boot option) Both of these machines have been running 3.1R and 3.2R for months without incident. Todays partitioning was simply inherited from the previous install, relabeling the slices as before and opting for Y to newfs on each. So now we have two machines down and we are hurting. Would appreciate any quick suggestions on how to proceed.

Recently *upgraded* a 3.2 system to 3.4 (using official Walnut Creek CDROMs for both original installation and upgrade). All appeared to go pretty well with the upgrade. Some problems appeared, i.e., xemacs and some other (rxvt if I remember correctly) would not install via package mechanism. However, compiling from ports seems to have worked. Lyx appears to have suffered a pkg_add oddity as well. The symptom is that I'm unable to LaTeX ("view dvi" under the lyx menus) the lyx documentation. I get several errors which seem to be related to my LaTeX installation, which of course is provided by teTeX. I pkg_deleted teTeX and lyx, cleaned up some cruft which appeared to be left over from the 3.2 versions of each package. Everything worked under 3.2 incidentally :-(. Anyway, did the ports (make) thing, which, since the source for these packages isn't on the 4CD set, ftp'd the tarballs, all 40 Mb, checked their sums, unpacked them, then began applying FreeBSD patches, and then asked me which file I wished to patch. My experience with the ports system is limited, but up until this time, I've never been asked such a question. None of my guesses appear to be the right answer, and the make fails. Story is the same for both lyx and teTeX--but of course I should install teTeX first. Question 1: What is the right answer if make asks me which "file to patch: "? Shouldn't make know (at least have a default answer for this? Question 2: Am I experiencing a normal amount of trouble with the "packages" on the 3.4 official disks? 40 Mb is a lot to download (plus the xemacs stuff also not included on the disks)! Question 3: Should I forego the *upgrade* option when I get my 4.0 disks and just reinstall?

While this arrangement works for win98, with not ISP provided software, it doesn't work with FreeBSD. So to try and connect to the net, I downloaded the latest version of dhcp from ISC, compiled, installed, and tried to run it. Since I'm clueless about dhcp, I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.

SInce no one has offered an explanation yet, i'll try rephrasing the question. I wanted to set up ppp so i can start it and stop it with alias or shell commands rather than keeping an xterm or console open with ppp running. So, it was suggested to use the 'set server' command in my ppp.linkup script to create an 'internet' entry in /var somewhere (i forget where exactly, sorry). Then, my alias 'poff' calls pppctl to close that connection. However, i now have to run ppp itself as root, whereas i didn't have to before. One thing i have learned here is to do as much as possible in my user account, which is a member of wheel and network groups. But 'set server' fails because bind only accepts the command under root (as of right now). How can i fix this? I want to log in by my user accout, type 'pon' to start ppp, and then 'poff' from any location to kill it. -=> jm <=- If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does anybody care?

I should be able to compile xfstt under Linux emulation. But how do I do that? When I try to execute make, it grabs all the freebsd executables.

The dhcp and gateway address are identical and verified multiple times by winipconf and ipconf. I don't think the gateway is on the 10-net based on this output. (If it helps, this is stumping several people who don't understand how the different nets work.) Here is the arp -p output (under win): Interface: 216.164.36.XXX on Interface 0x3000004 Internet Address Physical Address Type 10.17.44.XXX 00-20-cd-02-2f-b0 dynamic since /etc/dhclient.conf is empty, I don't think it is a syntax error.

I've followed the instructions in the ppp man page as well as the part of the handbook dealing with PPP. In following those instructions, I've been able to make a ppp connection (where the ppp changes to PPP at the prompt) but I am unable to do anything beyond that. In the handbook, under the section dealing with PPP configuration, it mentions issuing the command "~p" to enter packet mode. I must be an idiot because I do not know the combination of keys to issue this command. I tried typing ~p at the PPP command prompt and PPP complained about an illegal command. So basically, I'm able to connect to my ISP but I am unable to ping anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is various configuration files and logs that I am using. My modem is on COM1 (cuaa0). Please let me know if any more information would be helpful.

I don't think the gateway is on the 10-net based on this output. Ouch. (If it helps, this is stumping several people who don't understand how the different nets work.) Well, you need someone who can figure out what protocols RCN is running. They sure aren't IP. Good luck.

I'm surprised that the checksums passed actually, although authors do occasionally change things wo/ bumping the version number. The right answer is "update your ports tree" w/ CVSup. Or at least go down the particular port tree for the software you want to install (and all of its dependencies). > Question 2: Am I experiencing a normal amount of trouble with the > "packages" on the 3.4 official disks? 40 Mb is a lot to download (plus > the xemacs stuff also not included on the disks)! It's hard to say. What problems (specifically) did you have (you weren't very specific in your email)? You said LyX couldn't find latex - was latex installed, ie could you manually run latex? Was it in your path? Did it work for regular users and root or just root? Lots of possibilities here we can't nail down. I have used LyX from packages and from the port and both worked flawlessly (and I use LaTeX for all my writing other than a tiny bit of HTML and of course text for email). :-) > Question 3: Should I forego the *upgrade* option when I get my 4.0 > disks and just reinstall? By upgrade, do you mean the binary upgrade option or "make world?" I've heard that the binary upgrade is always a bit suspect although I've done it once and it worked. Make world seems to be the preferred way or a fresh install. If you can save all of your important data, a fresh install may be the way to go.

I've already tried to find an answer on the list archive, but I cant find one that fits my trouble, specifically. Im trying to use the port to install apache13-php3 with mod_ssl. I choose every option the port gives me,=20 else the dbs that arent mysql.=20 Everything goes ok, untill it try to install openssl,=20 first, it try to install a obsolete version (mod_ssl-2.4.9-1.3.9.tar.gz) that doesnt exists on any mirror. Ok, simply download it myself and put the file on distfiles directory. Then it works until the port try to install openssl, when it stops reporting that library named crypto.1 is required,=20 and that this library should be installed by opessl=20 port, but it isnt on openssl PFILE... it insnt=20 anywhere! Someone else has this trouble too? Someone eles knows whats happening? Please, help to save my life! Thank you in advance...

You are assuming however that an educational process is going to instill the required analytical skills. Many are quite happy being spoon-fed information which they then regurgitate. Potential candidates should not be judged solely on their certifications nor their experiences as either can be greatly exaggerated. Many resumes tend to be great works of fiction. The actual interview can reveal a great deal about their personality, drive, sociability and knowledge. This is why it is just as important to ensure that you put the right people in charge of hiring others. The brightest and smartest might not always fit into the puzzle when they are expected to work in unison as a team. A lot of friction can be caused by not looking at the big picture. Perhaps instead of concentrating on specifics, like FreeBSD, it would be best to consider a more open approach such as a BSD Unix certification which would entail all flavours. /e To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 9:10:59 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from relay1.bu.edu (RELAY1.BU.EDU [128.197.153.99]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 23EA5155C8 for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 09:10:57 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from crema@bu.edu) Received: from bu.edu (SHAKESPEARE.BU.EDU [128.197.187.125]) by relay1.bu.edu ((8.9.3.buoit.v1.0.ACS)/) with ESMTP id MAA22566 for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 12:10:53 -0500 Message-ID: <38907BCD.1412CF5B@bu.edu> Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 12:09:33 -0500 From: Matthew Crema X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (WinNT; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Free BSD on IBM/RS6000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi I don't know much about Free BSD compatible hardware.

Getting ypbind running should take care of the rest. Check /var/log/messages for any interesting messages. Also you might try running ypbind without arguments in order to determine if the -S is what's causing the problem. And you might want to use the IP address rather than domain name in the -S argument in order to not be dependent on name resolution. Also you want "hosts" not "host" in host.conf. -Mitch >Hello, >I managed to resolve my previous problem with an NIS master server not >starting the yppasswdd.

If the edit session isn't shut down properly you'll see these files laying around. Why don't you 'more' the file to determine if it's something important. If it is then rename it to something useful - if it's not then feel free to delete it. > > 3. SOmetimes when i boot up my laptop, the mouse doesn't work. dmesg > says /dev/psm0 not configured.

I don't think so, but what does a full "dmesg" show? It seems strange that the message is being broken. Ah... I see, is this from the security mail? You saw a line like: foo kernel messages: > r devices on PCI bus 0: If so, that's just because the first part of the message has scrolled out of the buffer, leaving just that, which the security script picks up as being a new line.

Here are the reasons why. #1 Linux is becoming diluted. You can't install anything without grabing some obscure lib. #2 Linux can't just do a makeworld after a cvsup and rebuild to the most recent version of essentialy everything important. #3 Truth be told, linux is not half as stable as FreeBSD. #4 I don't like the fact that Linux is attempting to be the next MS. Now that RedHat has gone public, they have people to answer to and margins to aspire to just like MS. This causes things to be rushed to market to soon and a degredation of code. Or should I just say sloppier code. #5 FreeBSD may be slower in coming out with options and features but at least when they do they are essentialy sound and stable.=20 #6 You never realy notice how increadibly slow Linux is until you get into FreeBSD. I was astounded at the difference. Just in running Windowmaker between the two OS's on identical machines will show big differences. #7 One word "ports" how freakin kewl an idea is that.. I love it. That alone is a reason to use FreeBSD. Makes RPM's look like old school slop. And so I create my .sig file. :)=20 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D I hearby change the name of RedHat to RedSplat. Keith W.

(long) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Well, coming from a former Linux user, the differences may not be as big as one would expect. A major difference is that FreeBSD is actually Unix (can trace it's origins back to AT&T), whereas Linux is technically a POSIX compliant, Unix work-alike. That said, who cares. They both work and feel like a Unix system, GNU software comes with/runs on either, FreeBSD can run native Linux executables, and perhaps most importantly, are infinitely more stable than anything that has ever come out of Redmond. The other major difference is what I call the "inherent philosophy" of the two. FreeBSD (OpenBSD and NetBSD also) thinks more as a "whole" when you upgrade. Basically, from whatever your starting point, you get the latest source and rebuild and reinstall the world. A little scary the first time you realize that you are replacing the kernel, and almost all of the utilities that are normally used. This is in contrast to Linux, which is technically just the kernel source trademarked Linus Torvalds, with a lot of GNU software put together. Upgrading the kernel or a specific piece can lead to some interesting times finding out that now you need a newer version of this lib which breaks that thing, unless I get this version ... I must warn you though: I was a Linux user for about 5 years and decided to see what FreeBSD was about. So now I am completely FreeBSD, no more Linux. Both work well, try them both, keep whichever you like better. m -- "To keep in silence our designs, my friends would think I was a nut" Peter Gabriel, Solsbury Hill Ellacoya Networks, Inc. michaelremski@ellacoya.com Suite 207 7 Henry Clay Dr. 603-577-5544 x241 Merrimack, NH 03054 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 10:40: 9 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from peloton.runet.edu (peloton.runet.edu [137.45.96.205]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 915BD155CB for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 10:40:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from brett@peloton.runet.edu) Received: from localhost (brett@localhost) by peloton.runet.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA21652; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 13:36:59 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from brett@peloton.runet.edu) Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 13:36:59 -0500 (EST) From: Brett Taylor To: Walter Brameld Cc: dbhost@brokersys.com, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: What are the differences?

That's an overestimate of those that actually use rpm files to build the port as I just counted the number of ports that came up w/ a "make search key=rpm".

I have natd running. One internal machine (192.168.x.x) and my freebsd connected to the outside. The two machines are connected with a cross-over cat-5 cable. Problem: Within my freebsd box, if I try to "dcc chat" another address WITHIN my freebsd box, the connection fails. However, all similar connections both into and out of the box work perfectly. If I remove the divert line from my firewall, it works fine though. netstat -na shows the problem as follows: tcp 0 0 128.175.75.157.1214 128.175.75.157.57670 SYN_SENT tcp 0 0 *.57670 *.* CLOSED FreeBSD shut down the port before the connection could be made. Again, if I remove the DIVERT rule from the firewall, it works fine. My ruleset is as follows: 00075 702 73891 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00085 85 5881 allow ip from 128.175.x.x to 127.0.0.0/8 00100 3257 366714 divert 8668 ip from any to any via fxp1 00150 144847 15260516 allow ip from any to any via fxp0 00200 0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 via fxp1 65000 115659 16418959 allow ip from any to any 65535 0 0 deny ip from any to any Where fxp1 is to the outside, fxp0 is to the inside. I moved rules 00075 and 00085 up from 00125 and 00135 in hopes of that maybe solving the problem Even better yet - tcpdump DOES show the request passing through lo0, so why would the divert rule be touching it at all?

In addition to what Brett said, I think this problem can arise in certain cases if you have an old "work" directory, have updated your Ports Collection, and are trying to build the port again. So I would add that you should do a "make clean" in the port directory to the advice. -- Matthew Hunt * Stay close to the Vorlon. http://www.pobox.com/~mph/ * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 11: 5:45 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.vitts.com (mail.vitts.com [216.64.31.74]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A3DAE1554D for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 11:05:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from remski@ellacoya.com) Received: from chukchi.ellacoya.com ([216.64.109.139]) by mail.vitts.com (InterMail v4.01.00 201-232-112) with SMTP id <20000127190734.KXWH1208.mail.vitts.com@chukchi.ellacoya.com>; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 14:07:34 -0500 Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 14:07:44 -0500 (EST) From: Reply-To: Mike Remski To: Gene Harris Cc: Michael Remski , Dave Hostetler , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: What are the differences?

There is no FreeBSD verison for RS/6000. There is only a Sparc port in work. I haven't looked to deep into NetBSD, but I don't think there's a port for RS/6000. However, there is LinuxPPC for PowerPC based machines, which includes for example Apple Macintosh and also IBM RS/6000. The web pages (http://www.linuxppc.org/) say, it runs only on PowerPC CPU based machines with PCI bus, there's no support for Microchannel architecture. I've read today in comp.unix.aix rumours about people running Linux on PowerPC based MCA machines, but I haven't seen such a system running yet - at all, there doesn't seem to exist a distribution.

In short, how do you read text data from a serial port? I want to pipe the raw text data coming in via the serial port into a file, and then on a nightly (cron job) basis to move that file to a "holding" directory. The data will be coming from a telephone switch that only knows how to pipe records out a serial port (so no scripting ability on that side to do any sort of terminal login). If anyone can provide any pointers on how to do this, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

I think the ports have a long way to go. FreeBSD could use a better packaging system for the installation of binaries for those of us who don't want to compile every program we put on our systems. "pkg_add" is adequate, but not nearly as advanced as rpm. -- R Joseph Wright *I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues --Duke Ellington* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 12:36:24 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mailhop1.nyroc.rr.com (mailhop1-0.nyroc.rr.com [24.92.226.120]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AC02315724 for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 12:36:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from yoink@rochester.rr.com) Received: from mailout1.nyroc.rr.com ([24.92.226.81]) by mailhop1.nyroc.rr.com (Post.Office MTA v3.5.3 release 223 ID# 0-59787U250000L250000S0V35) with ESMTP id com for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 15:33:41 -0500 Received: from Cory ([24.93.8.107]) by mailout1.nyroc.rr.com (Post.Office MTA v3.5.3 release 223 ID# 0-59787U250000L250000S0V35) with SMTP id com for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 15:34:01 -0500 From: "Cory McWilliams" To: Subject: Lock-Ups on Boot Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 15:36:03 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I was told in #freebsd on efnet to send an email to this address with my problem. I hope you can help. I'm new to FreeBSD and pretty frustrated already. The computer I'm working on consists of a Micron M54li motherboard and a 486 100 processor. I can strip it down to having only an ISA video card installed and everything works as expected except for "stray irq 7" messages occasionally on boot. I have several RealTech 8029-compatible network cards from different manufacturers. When I put any one in it locks up around where it says something like "changing root to wd0s1a" or after a "stray irq 7" message. Sometimes I am able to still login and type commands although the screen doesn't change as I can hear the hard drive work and I am able to shut down the computer that way. Other times nothing works. My BIOS provides me with no way of checking which IRQs are in use or forcing them to any values. I don't know where to go from here. Please provide me with any information that might help. I would prefer not making this computer into a boat anchor.

Lots of people, including myself have built it from the port with zero downtime on mission critical machines. Building a port will _never_ panick a machine.

You could: 1. cat(1) the data from the device file, /dev/cuaa0(?), possibly using stty(1) to set the required serial modes. You might have to put this in a script so that the stty(1) modes `stick' when you read from the serial port. 2. write a program to do this. tcsetattr(3), open(2) are your friends.

Over the last six weeks a lot of pccard support has been added, and I can now suspend/resume and have my 3com card DTRT with dhcp, etc. This is without an PAO patches. I've got a small problem with the sound on my Vaio F290. It works until I suspend and resume and then I can play, but no noise comes out - it doesn't appear to be bothering anyone else at the moment though, so maybe it just this model. Because of this I've generally left the machine on between locations to avoid the hastle of a reboot to place my cds or mp3s. I've clocked up 6 1/2 days uptime so far this time around :) Joe -- Josef Karthauser FreeBSD: Take the red pill and we'll show you just how Technical Manager deep the rabbit hole goes.

Good information....... .....some time later..... Well, "machdep.i8254_freq" did not affect the Time of Day clock, however it did affect the interval timer...."setitimer" and "sleep". I could speed these up or slow them down, but the time of day kept speeding ahead! What finally worked was, "machdep.tsc_freq", which I had to change from 400911342 to 99990000 !?! This is what finally slowed the clock down, apparently a slowdown factor of 1/4! I'm not clear on what is happening, there is a BUG somewhere....either in hardware or in (Ghasp!) software. NTP does not really sync either....it just cycles throught the list of (Public) servers I've configured. My guess is "adjtime()" is not really adjusting the time of day clock!

I have touched the following problem for several times already and always found work-around; what I want to know is how it is supposed to be done without tricks and hacks. ;-) Let's assume I have just installed new hard disk drive into my system, fdisk'ed it. Now I have to split it to slices and install new boot record to one because I want to boot from this new drive in future. Of course, there is no disklabel there yet, so I must write one prior to defining slices. disklabel -w does it but it requires disk type to be specified. As there is no entry matching my drive in /etc/disktab, I provide 'auto' value instead of disk type. But this always (I've done the whole procedure for 3 or 4 times since I started using FreeBSD) fails with this output: disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument disklabel: auto: unknown disk type So. The workaround I use is just dd if=/dev/old_disk of=/dev/new_disk count=128 After this I fix the new copy of disklabel to match new drive and go on. What do I do wrong and how does the world do this ? ;-) Thank you. -- Vlad Skvortsov, vss@ulstu.ru, vlad@high.net.ru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 14:30:42 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from entropy.tmok.com (entropy.tmok.com [204.17.163.11]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3EA8D14C94; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 14:30:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from wonko@entropy.tmok.com) Received: (from wonko@localhost) by entropy.tmok.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id RAA60010; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 17:34:01 -0500 (EST) From: Brian Hechinger Message-Id: <200001272234.RAA60010@entropy.tmok.com> Subject: ColdFusion 4.5 RC3 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, freebsd-current@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 17:34:01 -0500 (EST) Reply-To: wonko@entropy.tmok.com X-Useless-Header: why? because i can.

As far as I know the Linux version of Mathematica used to work fine under Linux compatibility. I don't know that anyone's tried the other two, but I'm looking at buying Maple since I found a good academic deal for it. If you're interested in a free math package, go check in on MuPAD - it's free (or rather there is a free version - you appear to pay for support). http://www.mupad.de/ If anyone knows if Maple runs (the Linux version) I'd like to know before I shell out the bucks for it.

I I am not interested in theoretical ( or political ) points, only really the experiences of folk who have knowledge of both systems. I don't care about the difference in licences, nor the fact that I will have to relearn some administration. I come from a Solaris/Digital UNIX background, and I guess am really interested in any differences I would notice as a user of the machine. I don't do anything too fancy with the machine, mainly coding (C, Java) and TeXing and web browsing/mail reading. I am aware that FreeBSD, out of the box, is less set-up than Linux ( in terms of applications ). I guess I am really after folks thoughts about using the two systems, but a few specifics occured to me: o Is there anything I can do in Linux that I can't do in BSD ( & vice-versa ) ? o FreeBSD is often claimed to be more stable and quicker than Linux --- how true is this is practice ? o Is there any advice that you give to someone who is going to make such a change ? Many thanks for your forebearance ! Regards, Harry P.S. `Linux vs BSD' searches, and similar, on the Web have nearly all yielded potted histories, which though interesting, are not the kind of thing I am looking for.

I can fdisk it just fine, but when I go to do a disklabel (from within sysinstall) it says it can't write it. So I tried to create the file system manually by doing: newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/wd2s1c It starts creating the superblocks just fine, but then dies off around when it reaches a high count (around 8000000 I believe) and gives me the error: panic vinvalbuf: dirty bufs sync disks: 1 1 1 1 ... Then it reboots :/ BTW, this is on a 3.3-R system.

Ultrix was more BSD-ish than SystemV-ish. So, if you went through any 'pain' moving from Ultrix to DUX, you may have an idea of what you are looking at. A few years ago, a friend of mine in the Unix Group at DEC's Sydney CSC said, upon loading Linux on his PC "This is just like home - it's _so_ much like Digital Unix!". So, with that, you may think some more about the way you wish to move. > machine. I don't do anything too fancy with the machine, mainly > coding > (C, Java) and TeXing and web browsing/mail reading. I am aware that > FreeBSD, out of the box, is less set-up than Linux ( in terms of > applications ). Well... yes and no. All that stuff, and more, you can do on both Linux and FreeBSD. Sure, the 'default' installation of FreeBSD doesn't have quite as many applications automagically installed as some Linux distro's - but the stuff is all there, and firing up "/stand/sysinstall" will step you nicely through all the ports and distributions to your heart's desire. > > I guess I am really after folks thoughts about using the two systems, > but a few specifics occured to me: > > o Is there anything I can do in Linux that I can't do in BSD ( & > vice-versa ) ? There are probably "bleeding edge" type things you can do on Linux systems that you can't do yet on FreeBSD - but give it 6 to 12 months to settle down, and you'll have it. Although, with the vast improvements in the Linux Emulation, often you can have it now. E.g. I've just set up a fBSD3.3 system at home (dual boot with w98 - my wife's machine), I unpacked Corel WordPerfect8 for Linux - and it just works. No tweaking, no patches, no nothing - it just works. fBSD in my experience will stay up longer than Linux. The QA on FreeBSD is just that much more "professional" than the Linux distro's that I have seen. Of course, they're still miles ahead of that other mob ;') > > o FreeBSD is often claimed to be more stable and quicker than Linux > --- how true is this is practice ? It's been (now) a year since I last used Linux, so I can't say for _now_, but for then, I think FreeBSD at least 'seemed' quicker - although with the excitement of learning a new OS, and all that, perhaps it wasn't as large an improvement... y'know? ;') (btw - my background in O/VMS with some Ultrix - on mVAX - and DUX - on Alpha - in there too) > > o Is there any advice that you give to someone who is going to make > such > a change ? suck it and see. BSD has a nicer way (to my way of thinking) of doing the configuration than SysV/Linux. But then, that's just me. From a strictly User standpoint, I'd say most things will be "the same". From a SysAdmin standpoint - for me at least - the clean manner that BSD works is just 'easier'. hth, & best regards, |-| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 15:40:48 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ns1.ibroadcast.net (ns1.ibroadcast.net [216.145.30.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 8186F15898 for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 15:40:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from majid@ibroadcast.com) Received: from Debug (mail.ibroadcast.net [216.145.30.4]) by ns1.ibroadcast.net (8.9.3/8.8.8) with SMTP id PAA97456; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 15:38:16 -0800 (PST) X-Intended-For: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Message-Id: <200001272338.PAA97456@ns1.ibroadcast.net> To: Gene Harris , Tony Johnson , "Freebsd-Questions (E-mail)" From: majid@ibroadcast.com Subject: Re: Charlie Root Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 23:38:16 GMT X-Mailer: Endymion MailMan Standard Edition v3.0.19 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG That would not take care of it.

That's almost exactly what I said ;b I run an AMD K6-2 450 processor with 128 MB pc100 sdram. One person suggested to me that the processor I'm running runs too hot in general, and during heavy loads it could cause a reboot. If that is the problem, do I need to invest in some kind of cooling system? I've seen fans available that mount in one of the expansion slots in the back of the machine. The heatsink/fan setup that it already has is quite large. -- R Joseph Wright *I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues --Duke Ellington* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 16: 1: 3 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from s1.ds.net (s1.ds.net [207.239.204.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5DEF6159BF for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 16:01:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jmutter@ds.net) Received: from ds.net (i1p90.cmh-oh.ds.net [207.239.205.90]) by s1.ds.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA19542; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 19:00:56 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <3890DC36.14C5FEBB@ds.net> Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 19:00:54 -0500 From: "James A.

I have read the FAQ section on dial-up mail as well as the configuration pages at http://www.sendmail.org/. Unfortunately, I've been unable to keep sendmail from causing a dial- out on startup. When run as sendmail -d it dials out after the line: getauthinfo: root@localhost is printed to the terminal. The hostname in the sendmail.mc/hosts files is not a real domain name, yota.lr.net does not exist except on my machine. I would like sendmail to only dial-out when there is mail in the queue.

Personal opinion follows. :) If it is a heat problem there are a couple of possibilities. First no matter how big the fan/heatsink is it won't work as well as it can if you don't have a thin layer of thermal grease between it and the processor. Some fans have thermal tape ( Intel boxed Celerons ) which is pretty much equivalent. You might also want to check that there aren't any drive cables obstructing the airflow into or out of the fan/heatsink. Next, the fan on the CPU can only cool the processor down relative to the air temperature in the rest of the case so keeping the case cool is very important. This doesn't mean you should leave the case open. I have a machine here with 4 full height scsi drives that flakes out after just a few minutes with the case off since the drives overheat. If it is an ATX case/power supply make sure it is not one of the older ones that have the fan blowing IN rather than OUT. Most cases allow you to add a fan at the bottom up front to bring more air into the case and larger cases have a spot for a outgoing fan above or near the power supply. You probobly want to make sure you have a bit more fan taking the hot air out the top than is bringing air in the bottom. I have never used a slot fan but suppose it is a good solution if your case doesn't have room for additional normal fans or you have card with a heat problem. You also want too check your CPU voltages. I believe the AMD 450 and SOME of the 400s run at a different voltage than the slower K6 chips. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Christopher Weimann SysAdmin 400 Higgins Ave Wall Internet LLC.

I have already contacted the author about this in the past, and I have been familiarizing my self with the code. To be honest, I think it has to do with the size of the font files under freebsd. If I use several older font files under 50K bytes, it is not a problem. However, xfstt begins to die if I introduce the newer "internet ready" files that are several hundred thousand bytes in size. *==============================================* *Gene Harris http://www.tetronsoftware.com* *FreeBSD Novice * *==============================================* On Thu, 27 Jan 2000, James A.

(Check your memory) Kernel panics may be caused by bad hardware, but most of the error codes had to do with dependency problems; the ports are suppposed to handle this, aren't they? I'm looking into the possibility of bad voltage settings on my cpu. I wouldn't know how to check my memory, I only know that it is pc100, 128 MB sdram and that it is installed correctly. > > Given a few months more experience, I bet you won't be speaking ill of the > ports system. :-) I still insist that FreeBSD needs a better packaging system for installing and upgrading with binaries. I have had a lot of problems trying to build metaports for kde and gnome that are definitely not hardware related. I'd type in "make" in the gnome metaport, for example, and there would be no response, only a new command prompt. This was using a freshly updated ports tree. Also, you can't update software with the ports, you can only install a new program, and it won't uninstall the old one for you.

I use M-Tech motherboard with Cyrix PR200 6x86mx with SIS chipset 5582. Hard drive is a Conner 1GB ide and Quantum 9.1 GB, both LBA mode, but most recently only on the 1GB using whole drive. I have 64mb FP memory. I use file system default sizes when installing. I have a Matrox Mystique video card. This equipment has been running various releases of Slackware linux for 3 years and (when I still used it-win95), without any problems, and most certainly no page faults. (occasional SEGV) I tried Freebsd because I like the organization and systematic approach and the cvsup. I read where it is "rock solid" so I figured "let's try it." I get random and very seldom page faults (no page present) such as when compiling a new kernel or unpacking TeXmf port. My assumption is that one should never encounter a page fault with FreeBSD otherwise it could hardly be considered "rock solid" and so I wonder what it is about my setup that does not work properly with this OS. I have been reading the newsgroup and gnats database and some archives of lists but have not found anything that seems similar. I see in the hardware lists that Cyrix 6x86mx should not be problem so I wonder about the SIS-5582. I have been at this for about 3 months so far.

The 3.2 system acts as a router/firewall for an internal 3.4-STABLE system. Haven't rebooted either machine in quite some time. The router (connected directly to the outside network) can, as of a couple days ago, no longer make FTP PORT connections on outside systems! When I FTP to a machine on my LOCAL network (through a separate network interface), everything works well. When I FTP FROM another machine on the LAN, THROUGH the router, to an outside host, everything works well. However, when I ftp from the router machine to a remote host, I can connect fine, see any relevant ftp server welcome messages, etc, etc... but something as simple as an 'ls' reports: ftp> ls 200 PORT command successful <3-4 minute delay> 425 Can't build data connection: operation timed out I'd rather not issue a reboot to this machine... I've tried stopping and restarting inetd, as well as many of my non-sandboxed daemons. ifconfig -a output looks as it did before, and other network services appear to be unaffected thus far. This is really causing problems with mirroring, though :-) Could something be happeneding with routing, here? Everything else appears to work, but I've even tried flushing my routing tables and reconstructing, but I'm still having the same symptoms. I guess if nothing resolves it, I'll try a reboot... But I *really* don't want to go that way :-) -- Ryan Thompson 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 18:15:15 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from peloton.runet.edu (peloton.runet.edu [137.45.96.205]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 796F715906 for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 18:15:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from brett@peloton.runet.edu) Received: from localhost (brett@localhost) by peloton.runet.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA01184; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 21:14:59 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from brett@peloton.runet.edu) Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 21:14:58 -0500 (EST) From: Brett Taylor To: Tony Johnson Cc: "Freebsd-Questions (E-mail)" Subject: Re: Charlie Root In-Reply-To: <5527D19B23BFD3118FBC00E0811068061DC3@piranha.showmaster.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, On Thu, 27 Jan 2000, Tony Johnson wrote: > Is there a way to change the name of root emails from Charlie Root to > something else. chsh is your friend. :-) Brett ***************************************************** Dr. Brett Taylor brett@peloton.runet.edu * Dept of Chem and Physics * Curie 39A (540) 831-6147 * Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics * Walker 234 (540) 831-5410 * ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 18:20:52 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from umd5.umd.edu (umd5.umd.edu [128.8.10.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D1F901584B; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 18:20:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from howardjp@wam.umd.edu) Received: from marple.umd.edu (marple.umd.edu [128.8.10.50]) by umd5.umd.edu (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id VAA13176; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 21:20:45 -0500 (EST) Received: from localhost (howardjp@localhost) by marple.umd.edu (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id VAA00952; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 21:20:45 -0500 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: marple.umd.edu: howardjp owned process doing -bs Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 21:20:45 -0500 (EST) From: James Howard X-Sender: howardjp@marple.umd.edu To: wonko@entropy.tmok.com Cc: Josef Karthauser , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ColdFusion 4.5 RC3 In-Reply-To: <200001272249.RAA60178@entropy.tmok.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Thu, 27 Jan 2000, Brian Hechinger wrote: > yes. sorry about the confusion, i forgot to mention that. > Allaire off-record said that they aren't happy with Linux > and are seeking an alternative. i seem to be pushing > them towards FreeBSD. but, keep in mind, this will be a > huge shift in development for them, so if they ever do > descide this, it still won't happen for a while.

Yes and for the majority of people they work fine. I do recall you were having problems w/ the metaports and I never heard (or don't remember reading) whether they were ever resolved. > I still insist that FreeBSD needs a better packaging system for > installing and upgrading with binaries. Insisting is great - helping is better. That said there is a new sysinstall/pkg system in the works. I believe it's supposed to go out the door w/ 4.0, at least that's what sticks in my head. > I have had a lot of problems trying to build metaports for kde and > gnome that are definitely not hardware related.

Did you have a previous work directory there (this is my guess for what the problem was - your description of the symptom sounds exactly like what you would get if this was true)? If you had a work directory and if there is a .build_done cookie in it then it won't build because it thinks the software has already been built. Make clean is your friend here. For a metaport, make distclean may be even better. > This was using a freshly updated ports tree.

This is *my* experience with the > ports, if it works for you, wonderful. There are times you don't want to install the old one (tk and friends were/are one of these). There are certainly times you do however. Knowing what to do and when to do it is tricky. Example - say you upgrade xv and with it comes a new version of jpeg. Should the packaging system then dump the old jpeg and screw up any other programs that also depend on the old jpeg libs or install all new packages for everything else (say gimp, Window Maker etc)? I'd much rather have manual control and KNOW what's going to be changed and how it affects the other software on my machine than hope the packaging software does the right thing or find that it tried to upgrade 20 different things because one library changed for the one thing I tried to upgrade. I've heard complaints about this same problem from users of RPMs and Debian's pkg utility.

If you're getting a kernel panic, (which I think is what you're describing), during a build, the most likely fault is that you've got a hardware problem - the most common fault being bad memory.

I have looked into GnuCash; however I haven't been able to compile it yet. Currently the configure script says it can't find nana.h. I've tried copying it from /usr/local/include to /usr/include, and also into the current directory but for some reason it still can't find it. --- Lowell Gilbert wrote: > > It's pretty likely that, in fact, fairly few people > on the FreeBSD > lists *do* know about cbb.

I believe that Linksys cards are NE2K clones, rather inexpensive too.

Do you have packet filters or similar on your box? Indeed, I am running ipfw... However, the setup is, and has always been open. FTP worked like a charm as of the 25th (every 2 hours, even :-). Connections TO the ftp server on the router from localhost, local LAN and remote hosts work correctly. Tried turning passive mode on on one of these buggy connections (example with ftp.cdrom.com: ftp> passive Passive mode on. ftp> ls 500 'ORT 139,142,245,96,168,88': command not understood Passive mode refused. ftp> ls 500 '': command not understood Passive mode refused. ftp> ls 227 Entering passive mode (209,155,82,18,96,167) ftp: connect: Connection refused ftp> passive Passive mode off. Funny...? I never knew there was an 'ORT' command... I don't think that's in the RFC :-) I tried going in via telnet wcarchive.cdrom.com 21, then logging in and supplying my own port command to send/receive on port 21. Still, no luck. Received the 425 Can't build data connection ... error after a few minutes. Attached is tcpdump output (fed through "grep wcarchive") for a session like the one above. I'm not the best at deciphering tcpdump output... But maybe somebody can clue me in. For kicks, I even tried a tcpdump on the internal network's NIC on the router while I was trying this, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. -- Ryan Thompson 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow

Generally, but not always, this means the ftp server is busy (i.e., at its peak user level) and refuses your connection. The fact that you were able to log in yourself may just be attributed to luck :-) Since you were able to fetch the .gz, just copy it to /usr/ports/distfiles and run make in the port's directory again. -- Ryan Thompson 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 20:39:41 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from nisser.com (c1870039.telekabel.chello.nl [212.187.0.39]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4F78C15019 for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 20:39:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from roelof@nisser.com) Received: from nisser.com (roelof [10.0.0.2]) by nisser.com (8.9.3/8.9.2) with ESMTP id FAA23572; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 05:40:52 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from roelof@nisser.com) Message-ID: <38911DA1.974478E4@nisser.com> Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 05:40:01 +0100 From: Roelof Osinga Organization: eboa - engineering buro Office Automation X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Matthew Eash Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Virtual Servers References: <000801bf6869$28090dc0$5380e6ce@beefcake> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > Matthew Eash wrote: > > I am curious about the Ability and ease of creating Virtual Servers with > FreeBSD.

Haven't rebooted in about a month (did some wiring in the office), and, aside from the playing around I did with the routing tables today after I discovered it broken, nothing has changed that I'm aware of. This machine, in its current state, has previously logged many months of uptime, without ever experiencing problems like this. I may have to give it the old fastboot treatment after all... Hopefully my NIC isn't on the way out, either :-) That's an interesting script, to say the least. However, it produces *WAY* too much output on a busy server... Even if I pipe to a file, it has trouble keeping up.

From: Tim Pierce Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, folks - This is a weird one. I don't know if it's my fault or ldconfig's. I have installed libjpeg on my FreeBSD 3.3 machine: # ls -l /local/lib/libjpeg.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 164024 Dec 16 17:54 /local/lib/libjpeg.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 459 Dec 16 17:54 /local/lib/libjpeg.la lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 Dec 16 17:54 /local/lib/libjpeg.so -> libjpeg.so.62.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 140861 Dec 16 17:54 /local/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0 According to `file', the shared object is an ELF library: # file /local/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0 /local/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), not stripped Yet when I do ldconfig -elf -R, it doesn't recognize libjpeg: # ldconfig -elf -R # ldconfig -elf -r | grep jpeg # (Yes, /local/lib is in ldconfig's search path.) In order to get libjpeg added to ld.so.hints, I have to pretend that it's an a.out file: # ldconfig -aout /usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /local/lib /local/lib/mysql # ldconfig -aout -r | grep jpeg 57:-ljpeg.62.0 => /local/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0 I'm mystified. Why is ldconfig treating ELF libraries as a.out files? A couple of FreeBSD releases ago, I installed GCC 2.91.66 in /local/bin; could that be confusing the issue?

It will allow you to run any command as root, without having to log in as root?? Just a suggestion...

It turned out someone had needed electrical work done, so the ground line was ungrounded for some bizarre reason (bad electrician I'd guess). He touched his case and felt a little static shock, and for reasons beyond me this somehow managed to get to a simm and break it, or at least that's his best guess. Bad set of coincidences I suppose. The first thing to do is try removing one of the simms/dimms/whateveryou'vegot and compiling with the rest. Do this until you get it to build, that's probably the bad RAM. Another good sign is if the build doesn't always fail at the same place. YMMV It's hard to say if the ram has gone bad so quickly, and why can often be guesswork. Try building other big ports (KDE, emacs come to mind) or building world. The upshot of all this is that ram is cheap, so you might be able to get more than you're losing. IMHO the best part of my friend losing ram was that the replacement came with a reusable air bag that could be inflated with a straw, and we (being the morons that we are) had a good time throwing computer equipment at walls. We threw some SOHOware 5 port hub out a six story window, and it came out working fine. Thrills for idiots I suppose. But I digress......

I used GENERIC as a template in building my own kernel, removing all the unneeded(I think) devices and controllers. I added in some devices and controllers for my soundcard and joystick. The kernel compiled and booted fine but there were problems: 1) When attempting to play sounds(WAV, MP3), all that came out of the speakers was garbage(static and noise). 2) X-Windows failed to start due to an initialization problem with the mouse. 3) When attempting to run /stand/sysinstall it terminated after probing for devices with what seemed to be a dump of garbage to STDIN. Most of the garbage looked like C style hex numbers (i.e. 0xSOMENUMBERS) and when pressing return after the fail it would try to run the garbage as programs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love the OS and would love to continue using it providing I can get things customized the way I want them.

I'm having problems making a customized kernel for = my=20 system.
I used GENERIC as a template in building my own kernel,=20 removing
all the unneeded(I think) devices and controllers.  I = added=20 in
some devices and controllers for my soundcard and joystick.
The = kernel=20 compiled and booted fine but there were problems:

1)  When=20 attempting to play sounds(WAV, MP3), all that came = out
    of=20 the speakers was garbage(static and noise).
2)  X-Windows failed = to=20 start due to an initialization problem
    with the=20 mouse.
3)  When attempting to run /stand/sysinstall it = terminated=20 after
    probing for devices with what seemed to be a = dump of=20 garbage
    to STDIN.  Most of the garbage looked = like C=20 style hex numbers
    (i.e.  0xSOMENUMBERS) and = when=20 pressing return after the fail
    it would try to run = the=20 garbage as programs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  = I love=20 the OS and would
love to continue using it providing I can get things = customized
the way I want them.  Keep up the good=20 work.

The beautiful thing about Unix is the portablility and even some compatibility among other Unices. There, of course, are incompatibilities and thus its sometimes a good idea to have many flavors around. With the freeware Unices taking over a large margin of power users these days I see no problem with having several flavors of Unix/Linux in the office or at home to simply play with. That's one of the problems with M$ junk. It's M$ or nothing. There are no such boundaries with our beloved Unix/Linux OSes. Shoot, even Linux has what...15 or 20 different flavors. If you don't like RH, try Debian, Slack, or Caldera. Get Solaris 7 x86 (Solaris 8 is coming soon and is going freeware (rumored).) I use FreeBSD, Linux and Win NT, 2K, and 9x. I have no issues with my Linux box or my BSD box. My only regrets are that I don't have more money to build machines for NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris. If I really had the money, I'd check out the "big" Unices on some personal machines. I've used Solaris, HPUX, AIX, and DEC Unix. Every one of them unique in their own way but I would take a freeware Unix over any of those. The really excellent thing about Unix...its a think pool for nerds. Its a place to continue learning and seeing the creations of your abilities. If you don't create its a way to enjoy others' creations without the flubby pictures.

Without seeing the output itself, I can't say anything for certain. Perhaps you have some device conflicts somewhere? Or perhaps you have specified some IRQs/addresses incorrectly? Your config file looks like a 3.x system. Are you running a -STABLE? Or is that 3.3-RELEASE? I don't recall reading any PRs for -STABLE in regards to sound lately. Have you tried Luigi's sound code? In my experience, it is sometimes better at detecting and using off-brand sound cards. Read the details in LINT and take the snd0 stuff out completely. I use the following: device pcm0 at isa? port ? tty irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0 device pca0 at isa? port "IO_TIMER1" tty Works well for many sound cards I've tried, including new Creative offerings, many on-board "compatible" chips, and chipsets from some really weird vendors. I haven't had any direct experience with ACER sound card offerings. If it still won't work, you might just plainly have an unsupported sound card. It happens. $30 and a phillips screwdriver can generally remedy that, though. :-) If someone here hasn't run with one of those cards, you might want to search the mailing list archives if you haven't already. -- Ryan Thompson 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 23:16:47 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from www.ozler.com (asy185.as147.sol.superonline.com [212.252.147.185]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9D88514F50 for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 23:16:36 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ertank@ozlerplastik.com) Received: from ozlerplastik.com (ertan [192.168.0.20]) by www.ozler.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA76718 for ; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 09:15:53 +0200 (EET) (envelope-from ertank@ozlerplastik.com) Message-ID: <389140C0.FE687AE2@ozlerplastik.com> Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 09:09:52 +0200 From: Ertan Kucukoglu Organization: Ozler Plastik San. ve Tic.

But, generally speaking, when it works, moused interacts with X quite well. When sysinstall works, the post-install config menu has a nice setup and test feature for moused. And, of course, XF86Setup (case sensitive) is the program to run for X configuration, including mouse setup under X. -- Ryan Thompson 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 27 23:49:11 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from finland.ispro.net.tr (finland.ispro.net.tr [212.174.120.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 767301553A for ; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 23:49:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from yurtesen@ispro.net.tr) Received: from localhost (yurtesen@localhost) by finland.ispro.net.tr (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA60376 for ; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 09:49:00 +0200 (EET) (envelope-from yurtesen@ispro.net.tr) Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 09:49:00 +0200 (EET) From: Evren Yurtesen To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: filtering spam by name of the sender?

(The reason for this is that to build the meta-port, requires no tools, since the meta-port itself doesn't build anything. However, to run after installation, the meta-port requires the components it is "meta" for to be installed. This might not be immediately obvious.)

I have much problems with my login configuration. First, when adding new users via adduser, adduser does not update the /etc/group file! Whenever I added new users, I had to modify the /etc/group file by hand. The othe problem is login. When users are not in any valid group in /etc/group, they can not log in! I reported this problem times before, but with no effect or no response. I added some lines in login.conf and login.access. They work well with my configuration, but there are some groups which have never permissions to log in although I never explicitely excluded them. I checked syntax, checked the logical "way of being processed", but never found a problem. Doing some strange things with one group that works fine wont work with another group that comes later on in the /etc/group file so I suspect the group file containing a character I can not see. How can I check and proof that? Has anybody similar problems and solutions? Any tip, hint or solution is highly appreciated! Oliver Gruss O.

Do you mean at the system level, with sendmail, postfix, qmail, etc., or at the user level? If you want system-wide control then it's best to check out the anti-spam abilities of your mail system. Procmail works great, but it's more of a user-level utility; by the time it gets to look at the message your system has already received it. This is fine for last-ditch trashing (and user-configurable behavior) but it's good to have something to protect you earlier in the chain. If you use sendmail then check out the documented anti-spam features here: http://www.sendmail.org/m4/anti-spam.html Most alternative mail systems have similar abilities. Check postfix's here: http://postfix.affinity.net/uce.html Postfix is a powerful but much simpler-to-configure alternative to SendMail. (Beware the port; it's moldy.

Cluster disks are NFS-mounted on the access machine so that users may access their home directories on all machines through Samba/ftp via the gateway. It works fine, but I've noticed one little problem. Since file ownership is not determined by user names, but rather by UID number, I'm required to ensure that all users have the same UID on all machines. Otherwise file ownerships in the gateway directory (where the remote disk is mounted) will not match the actual file ownership on the remote machine. Is it possible to make FBSD determine file ownership using user names instead of UIDs in those directories (I guess it isn't). Of course, I could duplicate passwd from the gateway to all other machines each time an user is added to avoid disrepancies, but that would kill off the possibility of letting users have accounts only on a subset of the cluster machines.. Thanks in advance, /Daniel F.

I had spontaneous rebooting problems as well as failing buildworlds when I had two DIMM's combined with different CAS latency timings (8 ns and 7 ns). The system worked fine with only one of them.

Everyone I've talked to has always suggested to take your "real" number of maxusers and bad it a good bit, to make sure you don't have to "suddenly" take down the system and rebuild / reinstall the kernel with a new maxusers value. The only thing I can recall being warned about was to make certain that the max processes you end up running can actually be handled by your hardware (I have NO idea how to make a TRUE evaluation of that though...)

Maybe since i chose wdm instead of xdm, that might be the source of my problems. Here is what i did: new file .xsession: exec /usr/X11R6/bin/wm (or whatever the path is. this file is the same as .xinitrc, so i know it should work) new file: /etc/rc.local: /usr/X11R6/bin/wdm (or whtever the path is here, as well) Here is the problem. Wdm doesn't appear. The system starts to the console and waits. Then, when i run startx the usual way, after about 20 seconds, the wdm login window appears. After i log in, it disappears, then comes back one more time. Then after that log in, it goes away. Why doesn't the system start in X mode like it should? WHy does the wdm login window appear twice? -=> jm <=- "Do not taunt the Happy Fun Ball."

Can't say that ** there's much difference. ** I only track the stable releases of each, and Debian is getting a little ** long in the tooth right now, but it works fine. Debian 2.1 (potato if I remember) is very long in the tooth. It should be way up in the 2.2 series kernels by now but it's still being held back. I would suggest Slackware (http://www.slackware.com) or SuSE (http://www.suse.de/e) as a more standard distribution. Slackware is better on smaller/slower systems but SuSE will never require another download with 6 CD's off stuff. Of course I hate all these and would rather stick to FreeBSD 3.3 (he adds quickly) ** I think Debian is a little easier to set up, configure and upgrade, but ** with your background, you won't even notice that. Debian has many conflict issues which really do cause problems. Plus the fact that dpkg is very user unfriendly. ** Specifically, the answers to your questions, IMHO. from a similar level ** of user are: ** There isn't anything you can do in FreeBSD that you can't do in Debian. True, except for have a proper UNIX distribution (no offense to Debian, but Linux is only an implementation of POSIX. BSD really is UNIX). ** No difference in stability that I've noticed or speed, but I don't run ** any fancy window managers--I use a 486. I find that FreeBSD gives me more uptime than any other OS (I hate to say that Win2k is rather good though - dont flame me - please), and that Linux can be unstable. I usually run these OS's in a heavily loaded network environment, so this does make a difference. FreeBSD is way more stable in that department but from a user perspective there is very little difference. I don't run fancy WM's either. Our dual Xeon-450 system run twm (very fast!!). ** If you've been running Debian ** for awhile, you might want to run FreeBSD in parallel for awhile at ** least. Believe it or not, you've become adjusted to the Debian way, and ** you'll want some of the configuration items from your Debian setup. Do run in parallel, but I recommend keeping the Debian way of doing things well away from BSD. Try some of the specifics to BSD and see how they go. It's a new world, and it's a bright world with BSD. ** I intend to keep running them side by side for the forseeable future. ** I'll let you know if one begins to outperform the other for this level ** of use :-).

Memory (and, to a lesser extent, other solid-state components) will typically fail in the first 90 days or after several years. This is probably more true of memory than most chips because of the very dense nature of the chips. (I don't think I want to get into an explanation of atomic migration and the like. I really don't fully understand it myself and I'd just be parroting a friend who is a solid-state physicist.) In any case, memory that lasts for 6 months is probably good for years. This is why many Mil-specs and NASA specs require extended burn-in periods for all solid-state components. If you have two DIMMs, pull one. FreeBSD can get by with 16 or 32 MB with no problems (although some operation may slow down). If it still crashes, put that one back and pull the other. !!!Follow proper anti-static procedures!!! R.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I love procmail. But procmail is not good for system level spam protection. You might want to use the global rc for special cases, but it is too late in the chain to be a solid solution for the quantity of spam flying around nowadays. Really, it is a little painful at first but figuring out sendmail UCE controls is valuable. Check the access_db feature first to see if it sounds right: Quoting from: http://www.sendmail.org/m4/anti-spam.html --- ... An ``access'' database can be created to accept or reject mail from selected domains. For example, you may choose to reject all mail originating from known spammers. To enable such a database, use FEATURE(`access_db') The FEATURE macro can accept a second parameter giving the key file definition for the database; for example FEATURE(`access_db', `hash -o /etc/mail/access') Remember, since /etc/mail/access is a database, after creating the text file as described below, you must use makemap to create the database map. For example: makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access The table itself uses e-mail addresses, domain names, and network numbers as keys. For example, spammer@aol.com REJECT cyberspammer.com REJECT 192.168.212 REJECT would refuse mail from spammer@aol.com, any user from cyberspammer.com (or any host within the cyberspammer.com domain), and any host on the 192.168.212.* network. ... --- The important distinction between blocking at your mail system vs. procmail is that sendmail (or whatever mta) can decide lots before receiving the email. With procmail, an 8MB spam from evil@spam.net would be accepted by sendmail, chewing network and system resources, and then procmail would fork creating an 8MB process before the thing was trashed. And depending on your recipes you may get more than one instance. On a low-volume, one-user system, this might not be disastrous, but that oatmeal guy wouldn't say it's "the right thing to do". Again, if you hate sendmail mc/cf files like most people then check out an alternate mta like postfix. Either way, if you admin for many users it'll be time well spent. -Dave On Fri, 28 Jan 2000, Evren Yurtesen wrote: > I want system level protection > I use procmail as local delivery program already. > How can I configure it?

Install the latest -STABLE snapshot from releng3, install all your packages (i.e., run pkg_info on the old system to see what you have :-) and copy over relevant config files. Then you can start moving you other filesystems over without much of a hassle. I just spent a week or two going through a new install for our biggest server, doing just that (i.e., installing on a new drive and moving over). I ALSO took the time (because I had it) to carefully document any deviations I made from a stock FreeBSD install... So, if, for some reason, I was stuck without backups, or a similar alternative like a new drive, I could be up and running in a few hours as opposed to a few days ;-) -- Ryan Thompson 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 28 8:12:13 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from fledge.watson.org (fledge.watson.org [204.156.12.50]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 84A3A14BF1 for ; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 08:12:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from doug@safeport.com) Received: from localhost (doug@localhost) by fledge.watson.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id LAA32822 for ; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 11:12:42 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from doug@safeport.com) X-Authentication-Warning: fledge.watson.org: doug owned process doing -bs Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 11:12:41 -0500 (EST) From: Doug Denault X-Sender: doug@fledge.watson.org To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: how do i increase the maximum number of open files systemwide.

Ignore the inversion and it's like this: If any one of the tests match then drop msg to /dev/null. If none of them match then the message will continue through the rc. The reason for the convulution is that all recipe tests are AND'd; pm has no OR capability within a single recipe without continued regexp lines that can get tricky. And as your tests multiply you further tax the regex engine. (though now that I think about it that's probably better tested): :0 * (^received:.*hakyou\.com| \ ^from:.*evilhakr@anrkyrus\.com | \ etc... ) /dev/null < or use a file while testing Where you put stuff in the rc file is very important, but I'll stop here since I've no idea how much you know about procmail. For uce-controls, earlier is generally better. (But then procmail is already pretty late.:) If you need to learn more about procmail then the man pages (procmail, procmailrc, procmailex) are critical as are contributed resources such as available from www.procmail.org.

Sendmail allows blocking with IP addresses and email addresses. I cant block an ISP just because of one email and I already tried to warn them. They do not care. I can stop the emails by email address but these spammers are changing the sender email address all the time. But I reckon that the sender name is same. If they cant figure out how I block their emails I may have a chance. In other words I am hopeless! thanks for the replies Evren On Fri, 28 Jan 2000, Dave Wells wrote: > I love procmail.

Sorry for going directly to this address, but we got no news server at the moment and for this one time question I don't want subscribe to the specific mailing list (but if this the proper way just tell me and I'll do it). Problem: I try to get a DLT4000 tape library working under FreeBSD 3.3. It is not necessary for me to use the library functionality (at least for now), but I want to use the DLT tape device itself. Under FreeBSD 3.2 it worked fine. It was recognized as device sa0 and I could access it with the device file /dev/rsa0 or /dev/nrsa0. When using it under FreeBSD 3.3 (on the same machine using another harddrive to boot from) it gets recognized but when trying to access it via the device files I get a kernel message and the process hangs and cannot be killed with kill -9 (I waited for about 20 minutes or so): Jan 24 17:10:05 athena /kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): SCB 0x8 - timed out while idle, LASTPHASE == 0x1, SEQADDR == 0xa Jan 24 17:10:05 athena /kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): Queuing a BDR SCB Jan 24 17:10:05 athena /kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): Bus Device Reset Message Sent Jan 24 17:10:05 athena /kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): no longer in timeout, status = 34b Jan 24 17:10:05 athena /kernel: ahc0: Bus Device Reset on A:5. 1 SCBs aborted Jan 24 17:11:05 athena /kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): SCB 0x8 - timed out while idle, LASTPHASE == 0x1, SEQADDR == 0xb Jan 24 17:11:05 athena /kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): Queuing a BDR SCB Jan 24 17:11:05 athena /kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): Bus Device Reset Message Sent Jan 24 17:11:05 athena /kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:5:0): no longer in timeout, status = 34b Jan 24 17:11:05 athena /kernel: ahc0: Bus Device Reset on A:5. 1 SCBs aborted When booting the device is recognized as: sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) pass2 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0 pass2: Removable Changer SCSI-2 device pass2: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) This happens everytime I try it with all the different device files. Do the scsi driver was changed from 3.2 to 3.3? Is that fixed in 3.4? I need this thing badly for doing backups and if I cannot get it to work I need to downgrade to 3.2 ... and what about future releases? Thank you very much!

If you want to use the mouse in both the console and X, you need to do something like the following steps. 1 -- set your mouse up correctly in rc.conf. These 3 lines will do the trick for most PS/2 mice. moused_enable="YES" moused_type="auto" moused_port="/dev/psm0" After setting this, you should 'kill 1' and press CTRL-D to come back up to multi user mode. 2 -- Ensure moused works OK and you can cut and paste between consoles. If it doesn't try step 1 again, possibly with different values. 3 -- set up your XFree86 configuration file to use the following mouse settings. The protocol should be auto or sysmouse, and the device must be /dev/sysmouse. The following settings work for XFree86 3.9.17 -- I haven't got XFree86 3.3.x.

Unfortunatly that's all NFS allows for, only the UID/GID goes over the wire, so the machine's usebase must be in sync for this to work properly. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 28 12:14:32 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from trinity.lee.net (trinity.lee.net [208.229.121.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5A3AE15E72 for ; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 12:14:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from awells@journalstar.com) Received: from journalstar.com (leepcD-005.sub-d.lee.net [208.205.127.5]) by trinity.lee.net (8.9.3/8.9.0) with ESMTP id OAA26662 for ; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 14:14:18 -0600 Message-ID: <3891FA59.F91CF20@journalstar.com> Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 14:21:45 -0600 From: Tony Wells X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: What are the differences?

If I can find where 8.2.2.p5 named is (I killed named and ran the named from /usr/local/sbin and that is still announces itself as 8.1.2.), do I and why should I have to diddle a startup script after installing a binary pkg? I thought the pkg's were supposed to "1 minute" installs, according to Lehey book. This is way too confused, but I can't see where I screwed up and nothing seems to unscrew me. So how/where would I rm all named stuff from the machine and start fresh with yr "pkg_add -v bind-8.2.2.p5.tgz" Thanks anyway, Len To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 28 12:39: 4 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from vali.uas.alaska.edu (vali.uas.alaska.edu [137.229.150.18]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 4581414E0F for ; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 12:39:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from russ.pagenkopf@uas.alaska.edu) Received: from antarctica.jun.alaska.edu [137.229.156.140] (HELO uas.alaska.edu) by vali.uas.alaska.edu (AltaVista Mail V2.0r/2.0r BL25r listener) id 0000_0068_3891_fe53_fa7e; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 11:38:43 -0900 Message-ID: <3891FE4E.BBC95985@uas.alaska.edu> Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 11:38:38 -0900 From: Russ Pagenkopf X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: ld-elf problem Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all! Hope someone can help me figure out this problem as I've done as much as I know how, researched as much as possible and trod uncharted lands (for me at least!). I'm attempting to install a mail program called CommuniGatePro from Stalker Software. The program comes as a pre-compiled program. When I first tried to run it after installation it gave me the following error: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: ./CGServer: Undefined symbol "pthread_attr_setscope" Okay. "What the hell does that mean" I ask myself. After a call to tech support he briefly explained that it was for threading in the kernel and he suggested upgrading to the latest stable (from 3.1). Soooo... I learned how to use CTM (with some help from the list archives). Then I learned how to make world (with help from the handbook). Then I recompiled the kernel (been there, done that). Then I rebooted. Other than forgetting to rebuild the passwd db, it all worked (and from 1500 miles away too). Onward to installing CommuniGatePro. Installation goes fine, attempt to run it and guess what? The same error: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: ./CGServer: Undefined symbol "pthread_attr_setscope" Argh. :-) Now I turn to the list.

I installed FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE on my Dell Inspiron 7000 notebook as the first partition and I am now attempting to install Windows 98 2nd Edition on the same 8GB disk as the second partition (I have about split the partitions evenly at just under 4GB each). Problem is that after Windows setup dutifully formats the 2nd partition it then claims that the format had an error and is not compatible. I have done this a couple of times so I'm quite certain that unless I come up with some new approach there's no sense in trying it again. :-( I apologize for the slightly off-topic nature of this post, but I'm much more of a FreeBSD/Unix person than Windows (which I avoid when possible) so I naturally thought to ask here first (and I suspect that if it wern't for FreeBSD already being on the disk the W98 install would work).

Windows needs to boot from the first partition of the first disk, unless you are using a fancy bootmanager, like the one that comes with Partition Magic (commercial software). I don't even think that Windows will install in anything other than the first partition of the first disk. In other words, your existing install of FreeBSD will need to be overwritten.

So what you're telling me is that W98 is looking at the first partition (the FreeBSD partition) and objecting to it not being compatible even though it just finished formating the second partition? Trouble is, I'm happy with my FreeBSD installation and not anxious to redo it. :-( Thanks to all who replied...guess I'll just have to reinstall FreeBSD...

You're previous installation was probably ok but you need to run it with /compat/linux/bin/sh so that the soffice shell script runs in the Linux environment. What I ended up doing was changing the the #!/bin/sh to #!/compat/linux/bin/sh in the soffice startup script. That way the change is contained within StarOffice so should I deinstall it there's no other cruft, like a symbolic link, left behind. It's also safer since soffice is then guaranteed to run in the Linux environment, whereas with a link there might still be other inconsistencies in running the shell script in the FreeBSD environment. I think the port should fix that script up before it installs then there wouldn't be any problems.

As Windows 98 overrides the master boot records (which usually holds the BOOTEASY boot manager coming with FreeBSD), it is always recommended to install Windows after FreeBSD. Perhaps you should try it this way? (And if there is something wrong with your disk, I would guess, FreeBSD will tell you more than Windows :-) ) Regards, Martin -- ,,You know, there's a lot of opportunities, if you're knowing to take them, you know, there's a lot of opportunities, if there aren't you can make them, make or break them!''

On this laptop, though, it just refuses to install into the 2nd partition. Seems to be tripping over its own stupidity (afterall, it just finished formating the 2nd partition so at least part of the code knows which partition its working with).

DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95 needed to boot from the first partition on the drive, but Windows 98 has the ability to boot from any primary partition. I'm not sure about whether this works with Windows 98 in an extended partition though. Nevertheless, the easiest scenario is usually to install Windows first and near the front of the drive.

Don't just cd to '/usr/sbin' and then type 'named'; you would just end up executing the original 'named' because '/usr/sbin' is in your PATH. You have to diddle with the startup script because, like I said earlier, you end up with TWO instances of named in two different locations when you install the package. Since you want to use the package version and it's not in the 'standard' location, you have to specifiy that in rc.conf. I know it's not intuitive (I didn't get it at first either), but now I find it makes sense to do it that way (if for exmaple, 8.2.2 turned out to be unstable, you could just go back to 8.1.2 'cause you wouldn't have wiped it by intsalling the package). > This is way too confused, but I can't see where I screwed up and nothing > seems to unscrew me. > > So how/where would I rm all named stuff from the machine and start fresh > with yr > "pkg_add -v bind-8.2.2.p5.tgz" Like I said, you don't have to rm anything.

I think I'm asking a stupid question, but I'm having conflicting brain signals at the moment (caffeine, must drink more caffeine :). I just used CTM for the first time yesterday and after reading the handbook and searching the archives I got everything to work successfully. Now my question. It appears to me that running CTM only syncs your sources in /where/ever/you/put/them to *changes* that have happened to the last empty-delta correct? And if this is true then I need to merge *all* the newly created files into my existing tree (being especially careful with /etc and /dev). Correct? What triggered this is that apparently /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 hasn't changed and so it didn't appear in my new source tree causing me problems with my kernel rebuild. Thanks for any clarification.

I was attempting to add a 2nd hard drive to my system. Following both the handbook and "the Complete Freebsd", i'm attempting to do things "the easy way" through sysinstall. Problem is that when I go into "index" and then "partitions", I get the message: No disks found! Please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at boot time. See the Hardware Guide on the Documentation menu for clues on diagnosing this type of problem. So, looking at "dmesg", I see: ahc0: rev 0x01 int a irq 11 on pci0.17.0 ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs And further down: sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 7) da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 4094MB (8386000 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 522C) da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 8 lun 0 da1: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da1: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit) da1: 8681MB (17780058 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) changing root device to da0s1a da1: cannot find label (no disk label) da1s1: cannot find label (no disk label) With those last two lines repeating repeatedly (most likely due to my accessing sysinstall). Given that the drive is being found, and so is the controller, and my FIRST drive is working just spiffy, any ideas what the problem is?

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.org, and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? =================================================== Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people who are new to FreeBSD and may be having trouble getting used to the environment. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, first check whether this isn't a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ). There's a list of these questions at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.html, and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at /usr/share/doc/FAQ/FAQ.html. Check there, and if you don't find an answer, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about installing FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're almost sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. You should also enter a problem report with the send-pr utility. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question is of particularly technical nature, such as implementation details or suggestions for improvements, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If you're new to FreeBSD, and the message is about your own relationship to FreeBSD, send the message to FreeBSD-newbies. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: How to submit a question ============================= When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. ``FreeBSD problem'' or ``Help'' aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. For further information on this subject, check out http://www.lemis.com/email.html. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: If you get error messages, don't say ``I get error messages'', say (for example) ``I get the error message 'No route to host'''. If your system panics, don't say ``My system panicked'', say (for example) ``my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'''. If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 7. If you don't get an answer immediately, or if you don't even see your own message appear on the list immediately, don't resend the message. Wait at least 24 hours. The FreeBSD mailer offloads messages to a number of subordinate mailers around the world, and sometimes it can take several hours for the mail to get through. And once it gets through, the one person who might know the answer will probably just have gone to bed in his part of the world. 8. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: How to follow up to a question ================================= Often you will want to send in additional information to a question you have already sent. The best way to do this is to reply to your original message. This has three advantages: 1. You include the original message text, so people will know what you're talking about. Don't forget to trim unnecessary text out, though. 2. The text in the subject line stays the same (you did remember to put one in, didn't you?). Many mailers will sort messages by subject. This helps group messages together. 3. The message reference numbers in the header will refer to the previous message. Some mailers, such as mutt, can thread messages, showing the exact relationships between the messages. VI: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure you understand the question? Very frequently, the person who asks the question is confused or doesn't express himself very well. Even with the best understanding of the system, it's easy to send a reply which doesn't answer the question. This doesn't help: you'll leave the person who submitted the question more frustrated or confused than ever. If nobody else answers, and you're not too sure either, you can always ask for more information. 5. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 6. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the sender and to FreeBSD-questions. Many people on the FreeBSD-questions are "lurkers": they learn by reading messages sent and replied to by others. If you take a message which is of general interest off the list, you're depriving these people of their information. Be careful with group replies; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. If this is the case, be sure to trim the Cc: lines appropriately. 7. Include relevant text from the original message. Trim it to the minimum, but don't overdo it. It should still be possible for somebody who didn't read the original message to understand what you're talking about. 8. Use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending ``> '' to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ``> '' and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. 9. Put your response in the correct place (after the text to which it replies). It's very difficult to read a thread of responses where each reply comes before the text to which it replies. 10. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as ``Re: ''. If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. 11. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), please fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as ``HELP!!??''), change the subject line to (say) ``Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)''. That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

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

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

No, Linux or any BSD beast can not do such a thing to Windows, mainly because Windows does already a very good job doing it all the time to itself; no need for anybody helping it. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."

Check your SCSI bus, make sure the cables aren't too long, and it should work fine again. If it doesn't, let's hear more details on your SCSI subsystem. Host adapter? Other devices? FWIW, I've been using a DLT4000 for about 6 months now. I've seen the problems you describe, but I got rid of them by changing the configuration (which includes a CD-ROM changer, 3 tape drives and 2 disks).

I am not trying to fix a current problem....I am trying to stop a fuure problem. Let me explain.... I am creating a firewall box (2 boxes actually) that will be connected to 2 different switches on both the Inet side and the internal side (4 NIC's). The two switches on the Inet side each have a connection to the Inet, one main connection and one backup. The switches will be connected. This should eliminate any single point of failures from the inet or a dead switch. The internal side has the same configuration....2 switches with the firewall(s) connected to both. I need to be able to actively monitor the "primary" NIC. If the link goes down for any reason (NIC dies, cable fries, switch dies, etc) I need to reconfigure the "backup" NIC to answer for the required IP. For this reason, I need something that will monitor the links and is fairly easy on the resources.

We re-seated the memory and all is fine. The restarts only occurred when under high memory utilization. You may want to try some diagnostic software on it. Other things that may cause this: Heat due to a failed cooling fan, lack of air flow, or dust build up. Don't rule out the power supply yet, they can go bad at anytime, or throw intermittent surges/dips. I had one a few years back that kept restarting 2 times a month. Once it fried 3 of the 4 drives all in one shot. (3 drives were *ahem* Quantum Empire, the fourth which survived was a Seagate) It took our electronics guy 2 days of bench testing on the power supply before the surge showed up again.

There is a difference between Windows and the underlaying MS-DOS that comes with it, I guess :-) If you only need MS-DOS, you might be able to use your configuration as it is now :-) BTW, can anybody tell if this is a problem with the position of the Windows data on disk or with the position of the partition entry in the partition table? Bob might probably change the partitions' orders :-) > Trouble is, I'm happy with my FreeBSD installation and not anxious to > redo it. :-( You could try some partition manager or you can backup your running system over network to another machine to get it back from there after creating new partition and file systems with sysinstall and doing a minimum install.

I've used a somewhat stripped down kernel (mainly just no ISA network cards or SCSI), but I've also had these problems with kernel.GENERIC. My previous BSD machine (200MHz Pentium Pro) started with 3.2 or 3.3 and was cvsupped just beyond 3.4 and had none of these problems...or, it had these problems either right before I got rid of it, or when I moved its disk to a new machine, or not at all. I'm inclined to start over (I have config files and /usr/ports/distfiles backed up on the 2gig fat) with 3.2 or 3.3. I've had about two kernel panics in the past few days, which previously I'd never had. The installation is only a few days old. Basically, the only good info I have is the error message and the behavior that follows it.

So much for testing with other cards. I got the sound working using device pcm0 at isa? port 0x52C tty irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x10 as indicated in a posting to questions by Martin Dieringer a ./MAKEDEV snd0 completed that. mixer, waveplay all work fine then, but the CD player type apps are all rigged for the scsi drives and devs. Has anyone got a nicer interface to the acd device other than cdcontrol (which does work given a -f /dev/acd0 option) ? So in the end 3.4 as is with a new kernel works very well on a 600E. I have an Adaptec 1480 scsi card but that is Cardbus - that will have to wait until a 4.x release I guess.

You are quite likely correct about linux_base-6.1 being the culprit. I had SO (from the Sun CD) running just fine, then I removed linux_base-5.2 and installed 6.1 (to get glibc 2.1 so opera would run) and SO stopped working, it seg faulted and core dumped at start up. Then I removed linux_base-6.1 and re-installed 5.2, but still SO seg faulted. The only difference in my system now was that I had originally installed linux_base-5.2 on top of (the now deprecated) linux_lib-2.6 but I removed that as well when installing linux_base-6.1. Only yesterday I rm'd SO completely and reinstalled it using the port. There were a few errors during the build, and it complains about a shared lib not being found on start-up, however it *does* now work. One thing I am going to try, this weekend if the weather continues as it is, is to completely remove linux_base-5.2 and SO, install 6.1, then SO again and see what happens. I'll keep the list informed of the outcome. BTW, I have sent the SO port maintainer details of the build errors I got. > > ===> linux_base-6.1 depends on executable: rpm - found > 666: not found > *** Error code 1 > > I have followed the instructions about Kernel reconfig, the rc.conf stuff, > and looked at freebsdrocks.com for more help.

I was under the impression they existed in windows to connect 32-bit apps to old 16-bit functions. Do they exist for some other reason in Unix/BSD? I saw mention somewhere about a release 3.5. I thought 3.x development would stop once 4.0 became official. Isn't that why 4.0 is coming out, because the changes cannot be backported to the 3.x line? If this is the case, when do they decide to release a x.0 release if they will still develop (x-1).0? I would like to be able to archive my mail and read it later, if need be. If i just tar my mailbox in my pine (or mutt) directory, how can i go back and read it later on?

Here's what I did, YMMV: # pkg_delete staroffice-5.1a If pkg_delete doesn't remove everything then try # rm -rf /usr/local/Office51 Also, I rm -rf'd Office51 and .sversionrc in all the user home directories where they existed. This ensures that there is nothing of the old installation left lying around that could possibly mess things up. # pkg_delete linux-base-5.2 If this complains that it can't completely remove everything in /compat/linux, then # cd /compat # rm -rf linux will do the trick. It will also ensure that any remnants of the now deprecated linux_lib-2.6 are also removed. Beware of any files there that may be required by other progs, but that were not installed by linux_base, e.g. I have mpegtv installed which requires libforms.so.0.88 in /compat/linux/lib. Now install the linux_base port. I suggest cvsup'ing the ports tree first, as although I tried 6.1 only a few days ago there has been changes to the versions of some of the rpm's required (this may be the reason that SO now works). I have version 1.36 2000/01/10 of the Makefile. Finally install the StarOffice port. I have the CD-ROM from Sun (mount it on /cdrom and do ``make USE_CDROM=yes install''), but it should be the same version as d/l from their web-site. Be sure to follow all the instructions, even though some generate errors, such as when it says to exit X and re-run ``make post-install'' as a normal user (this just gives error 71). Also, the next instruction, Then run "make install-user" and do a standard workstation install. should be done *after* returning to X (as it uses SO's GUI installer). Whether all this will work on 3.1-R, I don't know; maybe it requires the Linux kld to be more up-to-date. Also, it would seem that you require the latest port of linux_base, and seems wise to make sure that all traces of previous SO and linux stuff is removed (rm -rf).

However, these bar code scanners are mostly toy versions of the real thing. My definition of a real thing is a scanner that can read each bar code on the blades of a running fan. That works out to be about 90 good scans a second. The toys are the simple wands, which can force re-reads because of more frequent bad reads. They all have problems with attitude of the scanner to the bar code because of reflections. The ones I have used and programmed around were usually associated with the serial port, use lasers, have a button or trigger to start the scan, and read without touching the bar code like most of the wands do. It doesn't take a lot of reads to wear out a bar code if you rub it during the read. There was a device handler on a Unix box that fed information into a program waiting for I/O. The bar code scanners returned an ASCII string via a query to the handler. They even have some bar code scanners that were hooked up via radio. You can inventory or what ever as you walked around a manufacturing plant. I helped with setting up the radio but not any of the data phases on the radio project. These programs were all pretty KISS simple FORTRAN programs. They were still on HP 1000's because of the number of four line terminals that these really old machines could handle. The device handlers were probably written 15-20 years ago, which was long before I got involved.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've got a FreeBSD 3.4 system with a 2940U2W and SCSI 3 hard drive attached to the A channel. This setup runs great until I attach a CDRW drive (YAMAHA CRW4416S) to channel B. The 2nd device causes it to hang just before the login prompt.

The 2940U2W is a single channel controller, so there really isn't a "B" channel. I think what you must be refering to is the single-ended connector.

I'm not a C/C+ coder, but am > familiar with Perl. These scanners are really primative tools. How are you going to do your inventory? If you are talking POS, there are products that do that but I have never been involved with anything like that. Walking around and doing inventory is much more involved because you walk around and accrue data and then you go back to a place where you can download the information and update the database. The walk around units are not cheap. They frequently come with developer kits that may not of any value to FreeBSD. Linux is gaining in popularity and they provide tools for that environment. With networking it doesn't matter where you process the data because the database doesn't have to be on the computer that scanned the barcode. The hardest part of your project is probably getting the inventory setup. If your inventory doesn't have barcodes on it, you have to create the barcode for the inventory. There are a number of printers that create a barcode label. The simple barcodes do upper case letters and numbers. You want to be able to correctly read them even if the are upside down. The printers I have experience with used a thermal process and the labels were printed on crack_and_peel material. You send the printer a text string with commands and it prints the label, spools it, and then cuts the finished label off. The printed labels are more fragil than an all plastic sticker that has a bar code embedded in the plastic. I had a friend add barcodes to her book store and the data entry part ran around 20% errors. The errors after you have an inventory is different because if the barcode isn't in the database, you assume you read it wrong and are told to reread the barcode. You could also have an original data entry error and have to allow for it. It is much nicer if the program creating and printing the new label also adds the barcode to the inventory database. It may be wrong but it is at least consistent. The next is dealing with the inventory. You either have to find a program that will do your inventory or you have create a program in pearl or whatever that does the SQL to actually use the DB. I've never used Pearl to do SQL but have been told that is both easier and slower. The advantage is that you wouldn't have to learn C/C++. The disadvantage is that you may have to do some of the raw functions on your own. Each barcode scanner is different. Some just send a text string out the serial line everytime it reads a barcode. This style was a problem if there was any chance of the laser touching a different barcode than the one you wanted the system to process. There wasn't an OOP's button :). Writing a program from scratch can also be difficult. Carrying every part to your computer to use a scanner on the keyboard to do the inventory may not be convenient :). Using the FreeBSD system to maintain the database is relatively trivial compared to actually using it. There may be products out there that do some of this using FreeBSD. We didn't use FreeBSD and I haven't been involved with it since I started using FreeBSD. I have always felt that limiting your self to a product that only runs on X system can be expensive as you work around a bad choice. Most of our stuff was original such as barcodes that were laser etched into material such as endcaps that were later welded onto Ziralloy tubing. Every item in the plant had a barcode on it and this includes boats that carried soft raw material thru a high temperature furnace to convert the soft oxide into a hard form of ceramics. The boats could come out of the furnace hot enough to melt a simple wand scanner. I think there was a cooldown section for safety reasons but they were still very hot when they came out through the furnace door. Each item could be followed through manufacturing because of the presence of the barcode and barcode readers. Canned products never seemed to go beyond printing the barcode for soft materials such as boxes and etc. and reading the barcode. Doing something with the barcode was left up to you.

Well Mr. - ah - fuckit, you may wish to review this link: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html You need to make a pair of boot floppies using the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp images, boot up and follow the directions. In your case I would recommend the 'Novice' install. The installation program will allow you to install via ftp, thereby finding all the appropriate files for you. FYI, I installed via ftp using 'Custom', put in a pretty full-blown system with X Windows and Desktop. Took about 7 hours. -- Walter in·tel·lec·tu·al n.

I have already managed ip address dynamically as you indicate, the only thing is that my Cisco router is assigning duplicate ip addresses to users (I don't why). That is why I was looking for an alternative method, similar to the way radipad daemon in Navis Radius works.

I sent a private reply to the first guy that responded to me so as not to clutter the list, but I guess I'll have to go public. I don't WANT the danged thing, I was just going to check if it would compile successfully! Time is not an issue, I've done my entire FreeBSD install and additions via a 28.8 connection. Any one that would download the Quake 2 demo wouldn't be fazed by a measly 65 meg. This is NOT a flame, I got a real kick out of all the replies. If it wasn't for people like you, I would not be nearly as far along with FreeBSD as I am now. Thanks again, everyone. -- Walter in·tel·lec·tu·al n.

There appear to be at least two ports for that: /usr/ports/devel/codecommander /usr/ports/devel/xwpe I just installed them a few hours ago for a "stare and compare", but either Code_Commander is broken, or something is wrong with my system. It finds errors in the Makefile for programs/code_commander. The main executable - jcc - does not seem to get compiled.

In the section under OPTi, I find the following line which is repeated in the handbook and the pcm(4) man page: ---file:/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/snd/CARDS--- PNP CONFIG: pnp 1 1 os enable port0 0x534 port2 0x220 port3 0xe0d irq0 10 drq0 1 drq1 6 ---file:/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/snd/CARDS--- But this isn't working for my kernel. I always get a "config: line 174: syntax error" on this line. I booted another machine with the card in it and found out that mine is set as follows: Audio: I/O address: 530h IRQ 5 DMA Playback 1 DMA Record 0 MPU-401: (enabled) I/O address: 330h IRQ 2/9 DMA buffer size: 16 My dmesg currently says: ---from dmesg--- Probing for PnP devices: CSN 1 Vendor ID: OPT0931 [0x3109143e] Serial 0xffffffff Comp ID: @@@0000 [0x00000000] This is an OPTi931, but LDN 1 is disabled Probing for devices on the ISA bus: ---end dmesg--- I have tried "boot -c" to no avail. I can't find the configuration floppies or the files to download to config the card anywhere. :/ I think I would be doing better if I knew what each individual option in the pnp line above meant. What does "os enable" mean/do? What does port0 refer to? Should I change the 0x534 to 0x530 to match my card's config? Now, not being exactly clear on what all the options in that pnp line mentioned above meant, I tried the following in my kernel: --- from MYKERNEL --- controller pnp0 # PnP support for ISA controller isa0 controller eisa0 # SoundCard Support pnp 1 1 os enable port0 0x534 port2 0x220 port3 0xe0d irq0 10 drq0 1 drq1 6 --- end MYKERNEL --- without much luck. This is the only ISA card, the only PNP card, and the only EISA card in my system. So, can I leave off the "controller pnp0" line? Will the "pnp 1 ..." line suffice? I also find some confusing language in the handbook: ---file:/usr/share/doc/en/books/handbook_3.3/kernelconfig-config.html--- To include sound card support, you will have to copy the appropriate lines from the LINT kernel (which support for every device) as follows: controller snd0 Generic sound driver code. Required for all of the following sound Hello. I am trying to get my OPTi 931 working under 3.4-RELEASE with GNOME and Enlightenment. I've read the handbook and the pcm(4) man page. I think I need more information. --- from MYKERNEL --- ... controller pnp0 # PnP support for ISA controller isa0 controller eisa0 # # SoundCard Support ##controller pnp0 compiled in above pnp 1 1 os enable port0 0x534 port2 0x220 port3 0xe0d irq0 10 drq0 1 drq1 6 ... --- end MYKERNEL --- cards except pca and pcm. ... device pcm0 at isa? port ? tty irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0 The pcm driver provides support for various ISA sound cards that are compatible with the WSS/MSS specs, or with the Sound Blaster Pro and Sound Blaster 16. Note: There is some additional documentation in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound/ and /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/snd/. Also, if you add any of these devices, be sure to create the sound device nodes. ---end file:/usr/share/doc/en/books/handbook_3.3/kernelconfig-config.html--- It says that I need the snd0 for every card *but* pca & pcm but nowhere do I see it telling me to insert the pcm line, only the pnp one!? I think I can deduce that my card is pcm because a pnp instruction turns up for it in the pcm(4) man page. Should I also have the pcm line given here? Again, what sections of this line correlate to the configs I know about the card? This also hints that the WSS/MSS lines I'd seen around the files quoted here might be applicable. Are they? Finally, this last section I found was dated from August of last year, but 2.1 was long since gone even by then! Hopefully that's what the feature freeze is all about. I'd like to help if I can, if the task is editing the sections relevant to the OPTi card or just bringing this to light. ---file:/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound/sound.doc--- Instructions on using audio on a FreeBSD 2.1 (or 2.0-current) system. See also /sys/i386/conf/LINT. To enable sound driver support, the controller sound code must be included in your config file: # SB = SoundBlaster; PAS = ProAudioSpectrum; GUS = Gravis UltraSound # Controls all sound devices controller snd0 ---end file:/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound/sound.doc--- I should also note that I did do: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV snd1 already as root and it seemed a success. :) Thank you for answering one or many of these questions and for helping me out of my silence! p.s. Is there anything special I should do to gnome or enlightnenment to get the sound up in there? I'm excited to hear what it's like!
