I was just getting ready to CVSup the latest RELENG_2_2 so I could help in testing. So I looked at the send-pr command to submit the bug reports... but while installing the CVSup package, I had a problem.. I put in the modula-3-lib package, then the cvsup-13.5 package. But when I ran cvsup ld.so complained about not being able to find libz.so.2.0. So I ftp'ed to ftp.freebsd.org and grabbed the /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/lib/libz/* files and comiled them up with the default makefile. It only made a libz.a and libz_p.a. I put them in /usr/lib but obvioulsy there was no libz.so.2.0. So I set about learning how to do shared libraries -- I'm glad this problem came up cause it gives me an excuse to learn about the shared library stuff :-) Anyways, I'm still looking up the shared lib stuff (I'm new to Unix and I love hitting problems like this cause I like trying to figure everything out for myself), but now back to the send-pr(1) question: The man page mentions I need a submitter-id. So I typed: send-pr --request-id. Of course, then I realized that I was on my machine at home connected over a dial-up line and I didn't tell it my email address so I'm assuming there's no way for me to get my unique sid back -- correct?? Plus, the man page (if I read it correctly) says if I'm contacting the FreeBSD project, that I can just run send-pr "out of the box" and it will have a customer id already. Is that true, or should I still bother with the --request-id business?? I can so a send-pr from a machine that's got a permanent connection to the net - so is this the best thing to do? Sorry for the long message, but I want to get this right so I can be useful in helping with the testing.. TIA, -Mark Now, back to figuring out how to turn a .a and _p.a into a .so lib..... I was hoping ldconfig was all that was involved, but now I see that ldconfig is just for telling ld.so where it's .so libs are!

This is a very poorly written PR, sorry. The question `How-To-Repeat' was meant as `how could somebody else repeat this?'. Very obviously, several 10000 FreeBSD machines on the world cannot repeat your problem by simply turning on the machine, instead they boot up as intended. You're suffering from some installation problem, but didn't go into any further detail to describe it. I'm going to close this PR (since it's useless as it stands), and kindly ask you to direct your questions to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org. In particular, describe how you have installed the system, what's the geometry settings, what's the output at the boot prompt after entering a `?' etc. Once you know what's going wrong, and you are sure that it is actually a genuine bug in the installation procedure or operating system, we can re-open the PR if you submit sufficient details to actually find and fix such a bug. If you intend this, simply send mail to FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, with a subject line of ``i386/1948''. The GNATS system will record your mail in the audit- trail of the PR then. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 3 03:46:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id DAA16674 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 03:46:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from dumbo.hh.kew.com (dumbo.hh.kew.com [192.195.203.133]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA16666 for ; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 03:46:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from kendra.UUCP (uucp@localhost) by dumbo.hh.kew.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with UUCP id GAA07157; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 06:46:13 -0500 (EST) Received: by pandora.kew.com (UUPC/extended 1.12s); Sun, 03 Nov 1996 06:26:23 -0500 Message-ID: <327c815f.kendra@pandora.kew.com> Date: Sun, 03 Nov 1996 06:26:12 -0500 From: "Drew Derbyshire" Organization: Kendra Electronic Wonderworks (PO Box 80144, Stoneham MA 02180) To: "Robert Chalmers" Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: somethings not right here.

I had this problem, I just don't remember the fix I describe is for THAT or something else. :-) In any case, I use a local machine as a hidden DNS server; the primary published server at my ISP gets it from my hidden machine and then a second publiched machine gets it from the first. However, the second machine was wrong (not loading from the first), and all queries to it screwed up. So check not just your local DNS, but ALL of them. -ahd- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 3 07:04:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA28336 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 07:04:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from franklin.cris.com (franklin.cris.com [199.3.12.31]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA28325 for ; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 07:04:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from galileo.cris.com (galileo.cris.com [199.3.12.30]) by franklin.cris.com (8.7.5/(96/10/30 3.5)) id KAA05766; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 10:04:33 -0500 (EST) [1-800-745-2747 The Concentric Network] Received: from localhost by galileo.cris.com (4.1) id AA14787; Sun, 3 Nov 96 10:04:33 EST Date: Sun, 3 Nov 1996 10:04:32 -0500 (EST) From: SKYNET1 To: Questions@freebsd.org Subject: Ethernet on PCI Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I installed BSD in the hope that I could get my ethernet working because unix is supposed to be the OS for networking.. but it won't recognize my Ethernet!! in my kernel i get this message pci0:10: vendor=0x10ec, device=0x8029, class=network (ethernet) int a irq 11 [no driver assigned] Ok...so know how do I setup the ethernet card?

Every time I try to install FreeBSD it comes up with the error that it can't write to the disk or something like that. The debug screen says there's a checksum error when it opens the bin.aa file. I'm sure I downloaded it correctly from the FreeBSD.org ftp site, since I used three different FTP programs using binary transfer on all three. So far I haven't really seen anything that'll fix my problem. Could you tell me exactly how to fix this problem, if it can be fixed?

In order to function properly on FreeBSD, the mgr server needs to have access to /dev/io, /dev/mem and /dev/console. One option is to run it as root, but another I've considered is setting the group ownerships on these files to `mgr', adding group read/write permission to each one, and making the mgr server binary setgid to group `mgr'. This worked all right in an initial test, but I'm concerned about hidden dangers. Will the system be compromised or unable to run by fiddling with the group ownerships on these files? love, T.

From: Tim Pierce Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm a little puzzled by the output of vmstat. I have 8MB of core and 16MB swap, so by my reckoning I have 24000 pages of virtual memory at my disposal. (Right? Wrong?) Running vmstat on a mostly idle system on a recent day gave me avm counts ranging from 20,000 to 4,000, with the fre list staying relatively constant at 700-800. When the system is heavily loaded, the avm count has gotten as high as 30,000. What's the deal? Shouldn't avm+fre approximately equal the total amount of VM on the system? Neither the man page nor the Nemeth book has helped shed much light on this. I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks, T.

I have installed FreeBSD up and running. When I want to start the X-server with startx, I get the message: Can't find startx. Going into the subdirectory /usr/X11R6/bin and typing: ./startx the machine answeres: Can't find xinit. I have configured the Xserver with xf86config through /stand/sysinstall. I have set the path in /etc/profile through: # echo 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin' >>/etc/profile. But what's wondering me is that within /etc/profile there is nothing written exept some # marked out command- and explanation lines. I also checked out the symlink of /usr/X11R6/bin/X which pointed to the appropriate S3 Xserver. I also had xdm running. I can tell you, I really tried hard for at least two weaks. I have bought two books which couldn't resolve the problem. 1st question: What about not finding the startx file? 2nd question: Where and how to configure the shell (path etc.)? 3rd question: I need a really good book about freeBSD/and X configuration and system-maintenance. I thank you very much, also for answering my former question.

I'm running 2.1.5-STABLE here; originally made from the CD-ROM sources. I'm using CTM, subscribed to the -STABLE branch. Everything was running just fine until I decided to recompile the kernel to add ipfw. After compiling the new kernel, I found that the interpretation of ansi was seriously confused. Thinking I might have had a library out of sync or some other oddity caused by CTM, I did a complete 'make world'. The new kernel was still incorrect, the old kernel still ran fine. What I get is that a large number of programs suddenly no longer understand control keys. Pico, for instance, won't intrepret a control-X as a control - it simply displays "^X" on the screen. Same for arrow keys. Console switching with Alt+1..Alt+n still works, and command line editing also works correctly with the new kernel - but virtually no application that uses control keys does. This is all using cons25. I did a 'tset -s' with the kernel that doesn't work and the one that does and they're identical, so I've more or less ruled out termcap.db problems. Starting a session from a telnet connection results in a refusal from pico to run because the terminal "isn't a terminal device". Again, it works fine with the old kernel. I've also rebuilt the kernel with exactly the same configuration as the kernel that works... and it still behaves the same (e.g. doesn't work). The remaining noticable oddity is that when you log in from the console (any ptty), your login name is repeated prior to the password prompt: login: bozo bozo password: I'm out of ideas here, and I'm hoping somebody can point me in a new direction. Would I be better off changing over to the -CURRENT branch, and if so, how can I do that? (Wipe off all the changes back to the CD sources and apply all the CTM -CURRENT changes?) Is anybody aware of any source changes that would have mangled this? Should I be posing this problem to a different list?

Start again with the GENERIC file. If it works, carefully turn it into something more closely approximating your file, one line at a time, until it stops working. Done, you know now that the line you just removed should have stayed. :-) If GENERIC doesn't work then talk to us again because you've found a real problem.

The nightly run of "fsck" was a mistake. Please comment it out in your /etc/daily script. That has been removed in later versions of FreeBSD (which I strongly recommend that you upgrade to - 2.0 was very buggy). Running fsck on an active filesystem will always generate various errors and thus tells you nothing. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 3 17:02:03 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA18045 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 17:02:03 -0800 (PST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA18037 for FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 17:02:01 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 3 Nov 1996 17:02:01 -0800 (PST) From: Greg Lehey Message-Id: <199611040102.RAA18037@freefall.freebsd.org> To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions (new version) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. =================================================== Last update 17 October 1996. This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

I started over with GENERIC and recreated my custom kernel config file... with one minor exception: my previous version, I'd been paring down things I didn't think I needed and optimizing. One of the options I took out was COMPAT_43. The new version from scratch includes it and it all works. I was under the impression that COMPAT_43 was only required for *some* older programs... apparently that was what was breaking quite a few of them, however. I suppose it could also be some of the things added to GENERIC since the 2.1.5 release, but at this point, COMPAT_43 seems to be the culprit. -Dave From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 3 19:01:29 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA01569 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 19:01:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from time.cdrom.com (time.cdrom.com [204.216.27.226]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA01549; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 19:01:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from time.cdrom.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by time.cdrom.com (8.7.6/8.6.9) with ESMTP id TAA09147; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 19:01:18 -0800 (PST) To: Dave Babler cc: questions@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Kernel tty problem In-reply-to: Your message of "Sun, 03 Nov 1996 18:44:12 PST."

I have a question for you. I have been fooling around with Linux for more than a year now and I am kind of disappointed. I have tried time and time again to log onto the internet in Linux and have failed at every attempt. I am not a rocket scientist nor am I a programmer but I am not stupid either. However I do like the Unix environment better than any other. For the most part the Linux documentation is poorly written. My question for you is - How is Free BSD opposed to Linux when it comes to being able to log onto the net? I can't believe that with all the programmers that work on Linux that Bill Gates has a more simple configuration for getting on to the internet. Thank you for any information you can send.

I have setup a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box which has a modem for dialin access. The modem is a Vfast Class 28.8 The com ports only have 8250 uarts. I am using stty to set crtscts on the com ports.

I'm in the process of trying to install FreeBSD on my 4meg 386dx40. The 'handbook' (or faq - I can't quite remember) mentions that 'the first floppy you will need after the boot floppy is the "floppies/root.flp" floppy' (this is quoted from memory). I have searched through all the directories (including the floppies directory) on the FreeBSD site(s), btu I cannot find the file root.flp. I'm not sure if this is my problem, but my installation keeps failing and getting this file might be a start. Secondly, I'm not sure how to partition my FreeBSD partition. I have managed to confine DOS, leaving 63MB for FreeBSD (using fips.exe and then deleting the resultant empty primary dos partition). I've then managed to create the FreeBSD partition using the boot disk installation program. However when it comes to dividing that 63MB partition into a 'swap' partition, a '/' (root?) partition, a '/var' partition, and a '/usr' partition (if needed?) I don't know what's the best ratio. Memory could also be a problem, so I disabled the system ROM shadowing, but I couldn't 'remap some of the "lost" memory out of the 640 to 1MB region' as the FAQ suggested. If anyone has any words of explanation or advice on this I'd appreciate it. PLEASE NOTE: I'm not actually subscribed to this list (as I don't often get to check my mail), so... PLEASE SEND ANY REPLYS TO: haig@cleo.murdoch.edu.au ... as I will not read any replys sent to the list. Thanks in advance for anything (anything at all!), Callum.

First thing to check out. Make sure that you're launching sshd as "sshd -i" from inetd.conf. Of course that's if you're using ssh from inetd. My guess is that you are since you said that you were getting a "port already in use error." Also, something to keep in mind, for some reason ssh or maybe ssh's interaction with tcpd causes ssh to expect to be in /usr/libexec. Since the default port installation places sshd in /usr/local/sbin, you will need to make a link for sshd to /usr/libexec. --Jerry 8) Jerry Alexandratos % - % "Nothing inhabits my (8 8) alexandr@louie.udel.edu % - % thoughts, and oblivion (8 8) darkstar@strauss.udel.edu % - % drives my desires."

As far as I am concerned, user space PPP daemon on FreeBSD is, in its ease of use, comparable to the one on Win95. You would be well advised to read the manpage on ppp. Unlike Win95, you practically *have* to write a login script, but it's just as easy as with Windows. I had no problems so far, and the daemon dials in automatically as soon as you connect, etc. Feel free to mail me back if you should have any problems. /Marino > > Thank you for any information you can send. > > Leslie > lesliel@concentric.net > From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 4 01:36:23 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id BAA18352 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 01:36:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from shaman.lycaeum.org (SHAMAN.LYCAEUM.ORG [206.54.74.27]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id BAA18339 for ; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 01:36:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (edmond@localhost) by shaman.lycaeum.org (Partyon/dude!) with SMTP id CAA03802 for ; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 02:36:13 -0700 (MST) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 02:36:12 -0700 (MST) From: "Andrew N.

Robert's on the right track. Streaming tapes, especially helical-scan versions, aren't very good about positioning on a tape mark, and *sometimes* you won't find the next file first time: you'll be positioned somewhere in the tape mark, which on Exabytes are quite large. Someone once told me that they're the equivalent of a megabyte or two. I do regular backups to DDS and Exabyte drives every night, and then read in the files again with this script fragment: for i in $filesystems; do echo +++ Backup of file $file, file system $i >$backuplist/$tapeid.$file try=1 while [ `wc -l $backuplist/$tapeid.$file | awk '{print $1}'` -lt 2 -a $try -lt 4 ]; do try=`expr $try + 1` /opt/bin/tar tvflb $TAPE 128 >>$backuplist/$tapeid.$file done /opt/bin/gzip $backuplist/$tapeid.$file& file=`expr $file + 1` done Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 4 04:51:30 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id EAA11350 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 04:51:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from chain.iafrica.com (chain-work.iafrica.com [196.31.1.66]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id EAA11319 for ; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 04:51:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (khetan@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by chain.iafrica.com (8.8.2/8.6.12) with SMTP id OAA07198; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 14:50:12 +0200 (SAT) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 14:50:12 +0200 (SAT) From: Khetan Gajjar To: James FitzGibbon cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: XQuake In-Reply-To: Message-ID: X-URL: http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ X-Alternate-Address: khetan@uunet.co.za X-Alternate-Address2: kg@iafrica.com X-Alternate-Address3: gjjkhe01@sonnenberg.uct.ac.za X-Alternate-Address4: khetan@chain.iafrica.com X-Comment: Telkom sucks huge!

I have just installed a Panasonic CR-506B 8x SCSI-2 CDROM drive and am having a couple of annoying problems when playing audio CDs. The first problem occurs when using the WorkMan-1.3 port to play CDs. With this software I am unable to eject the CD using the eject button on the front of the drive. Ejecting disks via the WorkMan eject button works OK. Deciding that it was a software problem, I decided to try the xmcd package. The symptoms with this were worse than with WorkMan. With xmcd I couldn't even use the software eject. Xmcd did however provide me with an error message... CD audio: SCSI command fault on /dev/rcd0c: Opcode=0x1b Status=0x3 My system is a P100 running 2.1.5-RELEASE. Any suggestions ?

You get more security if you keep your .96-127 addresses on the perimeter segment (where router and firewall communicate) and assign RFC 1918 IP addresses to your internal LAN nodes. With this approach, there is no direct IP route from the Internet to your internal LAN. Turn off IP forwarding in the firewall and proxy everything between the Internet and your LAN. If you don't want that, then you can further subnet your address block. The sanest way is to split it in half, keeping one half for the router-firewall link segment and the other half for the LAN. You can salvage more addresses by giving, say, addresses .96-99 to the link segment, but you'll need to add an extra routing rule to your LAN hosts. > On a related question, just to make sure I understand this correctly; does > the CERN proxy server reside on the firewall, instead of using fwtk's > http-gw? Yes, all proxy services reside on the firewall(s) in this sort of scheme. About HTTP proxying - squid outperforms CERN by quite a bit. Squid is just a proxy server. If you want to serve your own pages, Apache is more up-to-date than CERN's server. If your pages are for internal use only, I'd run the server somewhere else than on the proxy host.

The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. If you have this book, please check this list. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

Sshd is normally not run from inetd because it needs to generate the server key before it can respond to the client, and this may take tens of seconds. Clients would have to wait too long if the key was regenerated every time. However, with small key sizes (e.g. 512) using sshd from inetd may be fea- sible. If you configure it with '--with-libwrap' it will do all the tcpd stuff for you (including looking at the hosts.[allow|deny] files), then you can run it from rc.local and it won't have to regenerate the key every time. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.

FWIW, I ported postgres95-1.08 this weekend... aside from the usual minor configuration path changes, it compiled and worked without a hitch. As for your question, you need a later version of flex; I'm using flex-2.5.4 (don't use 2.5.3 as it has a bug). The flex (lex) that comes with FreeBSD 2.0.5 (and possibly later releases) is too old and does not contain the yy_flush_buffer() routine.

Even the "Running FreeBSD" book says to leave it in or "things may behave strangely"... sure did.

(aha - the "bug time" theory strikes again.) Just to let you know what I've discovered so far. I called adaptec to get their input. First, you should disable the "disconnection" negotiation done by the adaptec controller. Apparently, some SCSI devices don't like that. Second, you should disable any "synch" (short for synchronous) negotiation done by the controller. Third, you should drop the transfer rates down lower, particularly for older hardware. Lastly, of course, be sure you have proper SCSI cables and termination at the ends of the SCSI bus. - Dave Rivers - > > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > > --------------446B9B3D2781E494167EB0E7 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > There is message log in the file "problem.txt" > This happens once a day  > It leads to some filesystem errors >  > This is my environment: > FreeBSD 2.1.5 > IWill P55TU motherboard with Adaptec 7880 onboard SCSI controller > > --------------446B9B3D2781E494167EB0E7 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="problem.txt" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Content-Disposition: inline; filename="problem.txt" > > Nov 1 02:43:47 fareast /kernel: ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset #2. 2 SCBs a > borted > Nov 1 02:43:47 fareast /kernel: asserted ATN -

I have had success in munging the source code to gs to tell it to believe the printer has certain margins (look at the source code files--I think there's one called *djet.c or something like that), but one possible fundamental problem is that the margins on most deskjets are not symmetrical. If I remember correctly, the margins on my deskjet 600 are: .0167" top (this is the weird one--I don't remember exactly, but it's the smallest of the margins) .125" left/right (1/8th of an inch, or is it .25" ?) .5" bottom (by far the largest) This means, for example, that printing postscript with a .25" bottom margin will get your last line or so lopped off. There are more "sinister" problems that this could mean. I suggest getting the ghostscript port (not package) and fiddling with that--the most recent version comes with nice alignment pages that can help you figure out what the printable area of your printer is, and if it's aligned. Also check out the ghostscript pages on the web if you can: http://ghostscript.cs.wisc.edu/ , if i remember right. >Thx in advance... >Don :) -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 4 11:06:11 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA14530 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 11:06:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from toth.hq.ferg.com (pm1-05.wmbg.widomaker.com [206.161.154.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA14523 for ; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 11:06:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from toth.hq.ferg.com (LOCALHOST [127.0.0.1]) by toth.hq.ferg.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA21913; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 14:05:27 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 14:05:24 -0500 (EST) From: Branson Matheson X-Sender: branson@toth.hq.ferg.com To: Kurt Schafer cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Converting an NIS client into a slave server In-Reply-To: <199611021939.OAA26922@dude.cyberbeach.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 2 Nov 1996, Kurt Schafer wrote: > > Man, NIS is not the best documented service in the world when it comes to > firing up slave servers.

If the machine that you are making into a slave is to bind to the same files, you have to have nis_client flags. If you are not binding to those files ( a rather weird configuration ) you should not have them.. My suggestion is to bind. Use somthing like: nis_clientflags="-s -ypsetme" nis_serverflags="-dns" -s is secure.. only bind to servers running as root. -ypsetme is a good idea if only that it will allow you to rebind your server by hand. the "me" part says that only root on the localhost can do that. It will still bind automagically The -dns will check dns on the server before searching the host table that is propegated. > > A make from the master results in the following error. > > "yppush: could not read ypservers map: 3 can't bind to server which serves this > domain" This is because you are not bound to anyone :-) which is why I say it is a good idea to run as a nis_client too.. you _can_ do it with out that but it is a pain in the patookus. > Can anybody shed some light ?

That won't be enough. You need more like 100MB for a reasonable installation. Try using the 'A'uto key in the disklabel editor to spit out some calculated defaults. If it's not enough the editor will comment that it can't calculate for something that small. > Memory could also be a problem, so I disabled the system ROM shadowing, > but I couldn't 'remap some of the "lost" memory out of the 640 to 1MB > region' as the FAQ suggested.

Do you know if this would let me run the Digital AltaVista > firewall software for BSD/OS on a FreeBSD machine? Perhaps. I'm not familiar with the software in question, but FreeBSD 2.1.5 and later have BSDi BSD/OS 2.x support.

Possibly. Have you checked the Handbook? There is a section on setting up dialup servers.

As far as I know, if you mean 1542CP, not 5142CP (never heard of that one) - FreeBSD should work just fine for you. Have you tried it? You should have no problems.

He's punted out of our workplace in Salt Lake City and moved his family to southern Florida, but will continue working for us via the internet. We develop embedded software for M68K systems running VxWorks, and have ported our GNU-based development environment from HP-UX to FreeBSD previously to use on laptop computers. Anyhow, he originally bought a Mach64 VGA with his new computer, but we (of course) had difficulty configuring it with the 2.1.5-R CD-ROM. He asked if he should consider getting another card, and I suggested anything with an S3 chip; I've always found XFree86 and FreeBSD easy to configure on my S3/805 board. Imagine my surprise when he returned with a Matrox card with a ViRGE+ chip on it! ($153 for 2Mb/PCI, at Software & More in SLC). I quickly surfed to www.freebsd.org, and then to www.xfree86.org. We grabbed the 3.2 installation kit for FreeBSD 2.1.5, dumped it on his system, ran XF86Setup, and he was up and running in 10 minutes (less FTP time). His system now handily beats our HP 9000/712 model 100s on graphics speed, and is close on compiling speed. (This is only a 100-mhz Pentium). We have CVS setup so he can access the source store here from his home in FL, or anywhere else for that matter. Great going, FreeBSD and XFree86! I'm leaving for another company in two weeks, currently doing VxWorks development on Windows NT. It shouldn't take long to convert them, once they discover they don't have to buy new hardware and the software is FREE. Wes Peters P.S. I don't follow any of the XF86 mail lists.

I am looking to install a second server to "mirror" the first in order to have redundancy. I can figure out how to write a script for a second server to examine the first for integrity, and copy the contents of the pertinent directory structure once a day, but I was wondering how to tell the second server to start servicing requests when it realized the first was down. In both cases I would need to be paged in the event of a failure. I suppose I am looking at a software / hardware solution. If anyone has information on this topic, or knows where I can go to become more educated on this subject, please advise.

Not comfortable with auto dial-out, especially when this machine is also connected to the local amateur radio network. :-) While its easy enough to prevent auto dial-out with my external modem simply by turning it off, I still use pppd, and connect up manually with kermit.

One is a Cyrix 'p150+' and the other is an Intel 150mhz pentium. The only difference is the Cyrix floating math is NOT comparable to a pentium. I have a program mclock (get it at: ftp://cold.org/brandon/mclock.c.gz, compile with gcc -O). It basically does a few math functions several thousand times, clocking each cycle. It returns the following results: Cyrix 6x86 p150+ (120mhz): Float Multiply: 1.2383 seconds. Float Divide: 1.8352 seconds. Fixed Multiply: 0.2938 seconds. Fixed Divide: 0.4039 seconds.

Quick checklist (which I just wrote last message...): 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE HOSED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (but you can skip XFree86 if you installed it from 2.1.0 -- there are no changes) and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. It's changed a bunch this time around and it's too much pain to hack in the new changes. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local. Note that httpd is no longer started from sysconfig. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

Norton can do this no problem. 2. find the bootinst.exe and boot.bin files in /tools on the cdrom or on the ftp site at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools or something like that. 3.

Ugh. I don't think anything's on the horizon for full IPX capability. Netcon's stuff is about as close as we'll get unless someone sits down and writes all that code.

It's not a bug, but a feature. Look into your kernel configuration file, specificaly at the line for sio2. You'll see it has the word "disable" in it. Just remove it and make a new kernel. In 2.1.0 the probe for sio2 and sio3 was on be default, which caused some problems with some video cards. For this reason, in 2.1.5R the GENERIC kernel does not probe sio2 and sio3 by default. However, it is easy to change that by just removing that "disable" keyword from the configuration file. > > Please send answers directly to me, I'm not on the list. > > Thanks in advance. > > -- > Rodrigo de La Rocque Ormonde > e-mail: ormonde@cnt.org.br > PGP Public key: finger ormonde@cnt.org.br Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 4 23:51:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA13773 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 23:51:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA13759 for ; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 23:51:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id XAA05876; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 23:52:35 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 23:52:35 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Christoph Kukulies cc: freebsd-questions@freefall.freebsd.org Subject: Re: misc ppp issues (debug level) In-Reply-To: <199611041926.UAA29459@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 4 Nov 1996, Christoph Kukulies wrote: > I'm trying to debug a ppp connection with a provider and I'm clueless > at setting a verbose debug level with ppp under 2.2-current. > > What is the secret to this sparsely documented feature? set debug n sets the log level.

No, it is more likely your RAM or processor cache.

The instant that fsck exits you do something to the filesystem and it gets dirty again. Nothing to worry about. The free block problem IS a problem and I hope you OKd it to fix it.
