This seems to eliminate the "can not reach "fax" service message; now I get (even as root): The server does not have a permissions file. Server refused; you do not have permission to use the fax server from CON. In any event hylafax seems to be more complicated than I expected, with lots of files and lots of man pages to read. The hylafax man page itself talks about a permissions file but doesn't explain where it should be located or its format. If there's a general reference on hylafax that explains the process of setting it up I would appreciate a pointer to it.

(look in /etc/resolv.conf for that, and use nslookup or dig to debug it). What type of routing do you use (if you want someone from outside your net to see the machine you must have some type of routing, at least a default router entry configured). Check that with netstat -r. You can set a default router by editing /etc/sysconfig. And BTW, you won't get http://your.machine unless you configure and run a web server, which is not on by default.

Check that your group ownership to wheel is enforced using a proper entry in the passwd database (vipw, I mean), and not merely in the /etc/group file. The su command looks like not considering entries in the /etc/group, as far as when validating wheel group at least. That seems not clearly documented in the su(1) man page. Regards, Marco.

The slash is the starting point, so to search from the current directory you'd replace it with a period. Personally I find this long procedure ridiculous, so I created a small script that depends on find and takes only one parameter, the filename, and searches from the current directory.

Ref your FreeBSD machine... Please check: 1) options gateway=YES on the /etc/sysconfig. 2) netmask on the network is the same on all machines in the same "net". 3) netstat -r shows a valid default gateway, that is a machine that the BSD can reach, using the ethernet interface. Ex: ifconfig ep0 206.186.50.133 netmask 0xffffff00 route add default 206.186.50.1 In this case the bsd can find the default gateway because the machine "1" is in the mask 0xffffff00 of the ep0 interface. And this machine "1" knows how to talk to the internt. May be it is a cisco router. If you send me more data, I can help you to put the machine online. Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.

It worked beautifully before the upgrade. (and made NT-Server look silly!!! :) ) It's obviously somet hing stupid but I'll be darned if I can find it. Any suggestions / ideas???

However, I can't seem to solve the problem of installing Win95 and FreeBSD on the same hard drive. I know the list archives contain a great deal of information on this subject, but I simply cannot make it work. I have by the way installed FreeBSD by itself, without Win95, and it worked great. The problem is the boot manager. When installing BootEasy during the FTP install, it would'nt work at all. So I re-installed FreeBSD, then installed BootEasy from DOS, and it will boot Win95, but not FreeBSD. I suspect this is a disk geometry or partition size problem? The system is a 486DX4/100, with 8 meg of RAM. The hard drive is a 1gig Seagate ST51080A ( 2100cyl., 16 heads, and 63 sectors ). As I mentioned, the install medium was FTP. I have used both FIPS and FDISK to create the space needed, both with the same results. I apologize for asking such a novice question, as it has been covered here plenty already, but I have finally reached the point where I had to swallow my pride and ask for help.

Using your tips, I wasn't able to get it running and had to go to a lot more trouble to get FreeBSD running. Namely because I only got one tip, and it was wrong. I followed the instructions to in INSTALL.TXT to the _letter_, but they are wrong. I asked which of the files in the install directories must be present on the floppies. The single answer said "only the foo.aa, foo.ab, foo.ac, etc" ones. The answer is that the foo.inf file MUST be on the first floppy where 'foo' in introduced (and maybe on all floppies, but I only tried on floppy with 'bin') This should have occurred to me I suppose, because foo.inf is a 8.3 compatible name, whereas foo.mtree isn't, and this should have tipped me off. Oh well. So thanks again for the support. How about fixing the docs????

Then I select novice installation, go through the partition stuff, and select cdrom as the installation media. It says "Message: No CD ROM devices found!..." (Yes, it does say this after booting from a CD drive.) So, it seems to me that DOS is finding my CD drive fine, FreeBSD is finding my drive as device wdc1, and the sysinstall will not recognise it.

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"**). 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. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. Nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to 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. 4. Please 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. 5. Please 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. 6. If you 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. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it.

This will provide the basic framework that you need which will allow secure, authenticated connection between SSL-capable clients and your server, at which point, you'll need to do some CGI work in order to take care of the rest of the system. This month's issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal (http://www.ddj.com/) has an article on developing a Perl-based shopping cart.

However, the .ps documents are still more informative than just the man pages. If you have a postscript printer, just print them. If notm you can use ghostscript + ghostview to view them online (those are in the ports collection too). > > Also if you can point me towards any place that has some configuration info > on the fwtk I would very much appreciate it. Accept for the TIS stuff, I learned to configure firewalls mainly from the book "Firewalls and Internet Security - Repelling the Willy Hacker", by William R. Cheswick and Steven M. Bellovin, Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-63357-4. While being a bit outdated, it is very well written and explains the logic behind firewalls (it doesn't talk about the use of any specific tools, though they do mention the TIS fwtk as one way to build a firewall). > > Anil > > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 19 00:02:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA23787 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 00:02:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from PACBELL.net (chumash.snfc21.pbi.net [206.13.28.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA23782 for ; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 00:02:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: from leonards486 (ppp-206-170-1-71.snfc21.pacbell.net [206.170.1.71]) by PACBELL.net (8.7.5/8.7.1) with SMTP id AAA02304 for ; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 00:02:36 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <1.5.4.32.19960819070746.006645c8@pacbell.net> X-Sender: Leonard@pacbell.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.4 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 19 Aug 1996 00:07:46 -0700 To: questions@freebsd.org From: Leonard Chung Subject: Pager Program?

And if you do (normally you don't, Berkeley-DB tries to do it instead) you have to compile NDBM instead of Berkeley-DB support into Perl (we're talking of Perl4, right?) IIRC, GNU gdb also creates .dir and .pag files, which are incompatible with ndbm files with the same name. So, which ones did you mean? /Marino > > Steve Stuczynski > S.J.S.

Here we have two machines with the same configuration. Pentium 100, 32 Mb RAM, HD 2.0 gb SCSI and a DAT TAPE DRIVER (EXABYTE) . Running FreeBSD 2.1. That's the problem i have. When i try to restore a backup, using tar for examplem my system crashes. Here follows the error msg the system sends to me: ahc0:target 3,lun 0 (st0) timet out st0(ahc0:3:0):BUS DEVICE RESET message Queued. st0(ahc0:3:0):TAEGET Busy ahc0:A:3:no active SCB for reconnecting target - issuing ABORT. SAVED_TCL == 0x30 ahc0:target1,lun0(sd0) timed out By the way, I tested the restore on both machines, using CPIO and TAR. But everytime i try to access something from the tape to the HD, the system crashes. Please, I'll be very glad if someone help me. Thanx a lot.

The mouse is Logitech 3-button Bus mouse (this also comes with an additional serial port attachment). I don't know if it is relevant to include this, but here goes: The motherboard is the Iwill P54TSW2 (Mine seems to be ok, but the reports I have from a couple of friends on this MB is not too impressive.... broken serial ports, and IDE controllers and absolutely no support at all from Iwill - Thats in case you were looking for a MB, and had this in mind also). I configured everything in xf86config and have included the file too for reference here. The XF86_SVGA comes up with a 300x320 ?? resolution, but none of the accel servers come up. I have included the errors reported when startx is run (X is ln -s'd to the accel server for the chipset, XF86_S3). If anyone has faced this problem before, or knows how to fix this, I would appreciate a response to this.

You should be able to copy the desired packages onto your MSDOS partition (making sure to rename them to ) then use pkg_manage or pkg_add to install them in FreeBSD. Some of the ports don't ship with corresponding packages (I think due to unusual licensing restrictions, such as xv) but you can always compile the port from source.

Just because of that i am contacting you today to give me some usefull information (if possible). I am very much interested in focusing the main differences among the very well known distributions of Linux (RedHat, Slakware, etc) and your system, but mainly advantages and disadvantages comparing them. I've read a lot through the Web and various ftp sites around the world (how_to's, FAQ's, README's, installation_info's etc) about how well one system operates under certain conditions, new features and many others, but didn't manage to find such a document.Finally, what i am trying to answer with this e-mail is : "Why a user must install O.system A and not B or C .." Please consider a lot of aspects, not only stability and robustness, things that already are No 1 in my mind. :) There are also some questions i have for you, concerning mostly the latest version of your system : 1. Just read that FreeBSD supports all versions of CPU's from Pentium down-to 386SX (not recommended) P6 included? (if Y up to 200Mhz?) How about CPU's from other than Intel manufacteurs? (AMD, Cyrix, TI,..)? 2. Does your O.S. support multi/parallel processing machines. If N (till now) would you include this in next versions? 3. How often (middle case) a new version arrives? How far improved is it usually, comparing with the previous one? (i mean how much a user is 'pushed' to change and invest in the new one?) 4. How easy is it to upgrade from one version to another? (again concerning the middle case). Does it only include re-compiling of the kernel? 5. What kind of s/w written for Linux is it possible to run under FreeBSD? Does it works as an emulation or are they s/w compatible 100%? (just in case of the emulation, how fast -in really terms- this is?) 6. How about running (2) or more O.S. under the same machine? How safe can such a disk/system be? Do you provide something like LILO in the Linux case, for doing the thing during bootup? 7. I know there are a lot of organisations and individuals out there, already using your O.S. Can you provide me a list with the main - already know - sites or big organisations belonging to your 'club'? 8. How tricky can a installation through ftp be comparing this of a CD? Cd provided includes the latest version of the s/w or just the stable one? 9.

The 2.2 release won't be happening until the end of the year (?) or so, and so it'll be a few months before you get it. However, Walnut Creek is (just now) sending out the 2.1.5 release on CDROM. If you're on the subscription program, you should be getting your copy any day now (however, I don't know what the mail delays are like for overseas mail, and so it could take longer). Alternatively, if you can accept a little instability, you might want to get the latest 2.2-snapshot (the 960801 version). I believe Walnut Creek is releasing this particular version as part of their snapshot subscription program. -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

I looked at /usr/src/lib/libncurses/version.h: #define NCURSES_VERSION "1.8.6" Next, I found a ncurses-1.8.6 using archie, grabbed it and diff'ed it against FreeBSD's (supposed) 1.8.6 Well, there seem to be more differences than can be accounted for from a simple port to FreeBSD -- there are some changes marked by #ifdef MYTINFO, and there are many other changes without any clue. My question is: are the changes made to FreeBSD's version of ncurses 1.8.6 available in the CVS tree, and if so, how can I get them so that I can attempt to port the latest ncurses to FreeBSD? *My personal opinions follow* I hope the answer is 'yes', but if not, then why not? The deltas should be kept so that when a volunteer finally tackles the job of bringing any of the software packages that have been integrated into FreeBSD up to date with respect to the current version, then the job will not entail a complete "from scratch" development. I also noticed that when ncurses was integrated into the FreeBSD source tree, a lot of the original package was omitted, files were moved and renamed, etc. It seems to me that, again, to facilitate keeping FreeBSD current, a philosophy of "minimal" change should be adopted -- at least with the distribution files. Also, the changes should be easily recoverable -- either as RCS/CVS files, or #ifdef'ed, or as patches, etc. I can understand replacing the Makefiles to install the files under different names, and build only portions that will be installed, but wholesale changes (which seem to have been made) only serve to keep FreeBSD's version becoming more and more divergent from the currently available sources. *Opionion mode off* Thanks for your help.

Aug 14 14:26:30 joes /kernel: pci0:11: CMD, device=0x0640, class=storage (ide) [no driver assigned] The full device probe is shown below. I was wondering if the message would be indicative of a CDROM problem I noticed. When copying large programs from the mounted CDROM, the system would hang indefinitely. A keyboard lockup would occur and a forced reboot would be necessary. Do these symtoms (and/or message) suggest the possibility of a simple recurring problem with an easy fix? Thank you, J.

Nothing more than a shell script would even be necessary. Have a look at the following...

As I'm running current, I didn't really take care of them because -current is not intended to be stable and people also had problems (that is the game). After 2.1.5, -current seems to be ok for people and I still have problems with my box. Particularly after an idle time, when the activity is increasing again. As I use 3 disks for swapping, I thought this was because of a too important need of power, so I disabled one of the swap areas. I was close to the solution when for the first time I decided to stay at the console (I usually start X) and wait, wait, ... I finally got the answer: trap 19 NMI (aka power fail NMI), bingo! I since run a kernel with `options POWERFAIL_NMI' and for the first time received a beep and a Aug 19 20:31:35 xp11 /kernel: NMI: power fail as expected, but my box is *still* alive.

So your heirarchy should look like: ~ftp ---- pub --- FreeBSD --- 2.1.5-RELEASE --- bin des dict games .... Also try setting the FTP error mode to 'retry' in the options screen. This pokes sysinstall into trying some other directory structures, including the one used on the CDROM (so you can mount the cd under ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE and have it work). Then use the URL ftp://your.machine.and.stuff/pub/FreeBSD when asked by sysinstall. It knows what your release version is and will look for it. You can look at ftp://resnet.uoregon.edu/ if you need another example.

Are there any parameters for my Console or > color_xterm I can use? Note that pagers like more and less will translate the 8 bit ESC characters into on screen, so you will need to use the -r option to keep 'less' from translating those characters. Note that if there are other control characters in the file, those will be passed directly on to the screen without translation, and strange things may happen. I assume this is what you are trying to do when you say your are piping information from colorls and getting garbage. What do you get when you do 'colorls -G'? Does the output look OK? I don't know how to force 'more' into raw mode.

(AMD, Cyrix, TI,..)? FreeBSD supports the i386 architecture. This includes Intel processors that are 386 & 486 compatible, such as the Pentium and the Pentium Pro. Other manufacturers, AMD and Cyrix specifically, are also supported. I don't know about TI. The support doesn't imply that FreeBSD contains optimizations for those processors, only that it will run on them. > 2. Does your O.S. support multi/parallel processing machines.

A new RELEASE is put out every 6 months or so. It is a _really_ good idea to upgrade to RELEASEs since they are very stable and are well-tested. Intermittiently, SNAPshots are made available. SNAPs are built from the current FreeBSD development. They are usually built when development, referred to as the -current branch, comes to a point where a critical component has been upgraded and needs beta-testing, or where -current hits a decent level of stability. Or for the adventurous, you can track -current directly and run at the 'bleeding edge'. > 4. How easy is it to upgrade from one version to another? (again concerning > the middle case). Does it only include re-compiling of the kernel? RELEASEs and SNAPs are upgraded from the install program, which involved copying over new system components and rebuilding the kernel. THe only changes that have to be made by the user are to the configurations in /etc and to rebuild the kernel. > 5. What kind of s/w written for Linux is it possible to run under FreeBSD? > Does it works as an emulation or are they s/w compatible 100%? (just in > case of the emulation, how fast -in really terms- this is?) Linux emulation is available. It's not 100% totally compatible, but will run the vast majority of Linux programs. AFAIK, there is no performance penalty for using the emulator. Obviously, it is much prefereable to port & recompile those programs directly to FreeBSD, but the emulator is available should you need it (for Java-enabled Netscape for instance). > 6.

We provide a utility called 'booteasy' to do multi-boots, but you can use whatever you like (including LILO). I personally use OS/2's Boot Manager and have no ill effects. > 7. I know there are a lot of organisations and individuals out there, already > using your O.S.

Our primary user and supporter is Walnut Creek CDROM, maintainer of the ever-popular ftp.cdrom.com and FreeBSD's home site. A partial list is available on our Web site at http://www.freebsd.org in the Gallery. > 8. How tricky can a installation through ftp be comparing this of a CD? > Cd provided includes the latest version of the s/w or just the stable one? CDs are built for the RELEASE and SNAPshots. You can 'subscribe' to the CDS, which means that when a new one is released it is automatically mailed and billed to your credit card. The RELEASEs and SNAPs are two different subscriptions, so if you don't intend to closely track FreeBSD you can just subscribe to the RELEASEs and get those. > 9.

Can this be true in world like this? > (please extend your mind beyond the obvious answer of science-funs) Here are some of my reasons: 1) It's a public service to the Internet community. The Internet is built on a history of free public access, and a public operating system developed over the Net fits well with this philosophy. 2) That a group of people (with diverse backgrounds) can build a OS to take on the best commerical operating systems and surpass them for no cost. Here are a few things I snapped from the web site: Education: Are you a student of computer science or a related engineering field? There is no better way of learning about operating systems, computer architecture and networks than the hands on, under the hood experience that FreeBSD can provide. A number of freely available CAD, mathematical and graphic design packages also make it highly useful to those who's primary interest in a computer is to get other work done! Research: With source code for the entire system available, FreeBSD is an excellent platform for research in operating systems as well as other branches of computer science. FreeBSD's freely available nature also makes it possible for remote groups to collaborate on ideas or shared development without having to worry about special licensing agreements, or with limitations on what can be discussed in certain forums. 1.3. FreeBSD Project goals Contributed by Jordan K. Hubbard . The goals of the FreeBSD Project are to provide software that may be used for any purpose and without strings attached. Many of us have a significant investment in the code (and project) and would certainly not mind a little financial renumeration now and then, but we're definitely not prepared to insist on it. We believe that our first and foremost "mission" is to provide code to any and all comers, and for whatever purpose, so that the code gets the widest possible use and provides the widest possible benefit.

Nothing to set up at all, everything you give the tftpd as an argument will be accessible. If you give nothing, all your world-readable files will be accessible. Of course, you need to uncomment the line in /etc/inetd.conf.

I suspect this is a disk geometry or partition size > problem? 99% of booteasy problems are caused by bad geometry. The best way to resolve this is by installing Win95 first, then installing FreeBSD. This allows sysinstall to pick up the "proper" geometry from the existing partition table rather than try to guess it. > I apologize for asking such a novice question, as it has been covered > here plenty already, but I have finally reached the point where I had > to swallow my pride and ask for help. Don't worry about it. Geometry is a frequent problem and his hard to diagnose unless you've seen it a hundred times like I have :) Hope this helps. Good luck!

Are you using alternative settings for com1 in your BIOS setup? It should always work since com1 and com2 (sio0 and sio1) are IBM-standard.
