Well, when you read the man page for that command, if it slams you into the manpage for a shell, then it's a shell builtin. But sometimes you have to be sneaky. For instance, I had this trype of problem a month or so ago. I was trying to nice out some processes, and I couldn't. What I didn't know was that, besides the 'nice' binary command, there's a 'nice' builtin to tcsh (which I use), which has a completely different argument format. So, I s'pose all you can do is trial and error. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 1 01:56:43 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA16099 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 01:56:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.aloha.com (root@leahi.aloha.com [206.127.224.94]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA16091 for ; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 01:56:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from knowtree@aloha.com) Received: from 209.84.67.139 (behemoth1-137.pixi.net [209.84.67.139]) by mail.aloha.com (8.8.7/8.8.7/PIXI-5.2) with SMTP id XAA18851 for ; Sat, 31 Jan 1998 23:56:38 -1000 (HST) Message-ID: <34D446B2.23A0@aloha.com> Date: Sat, 31 Jan 1998 23:56:02 -1000 From: Gary Dunn Reply-To: knowtree@aloha.com Organization: Knowledge Tree X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Macintosh; I; 68K) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions Subject: X, NFS, 3C900 NIC Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by hub.freebsd.org id BAA16092 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" Aloha from Honolulu! I just got FreeBSD running this past week and have some questions I hope some of you with more experience can help me with: 1. How can I get better video performance with X? The system has a Matrox Millennia video board and a decent 17” monitor. I have done nothing more that run the sysinstall stuff and experiment with various settings, and launch X with startx. A. This setup gave sterling results with Windows NT (please, no beer can throwing). With X, at 800x600 and above the center of the screen “vibrates” especially side to side. Very high frequency, but slow enough to see the wiggle and not just a blur. Usable, but only with apologies. At 640x480 the image is rock solid but flickers as though it was refreshing at or below 60 Hz. B. The graphical elements are rather crude, reminiscent of Windows 1.0 and not at all like the beautiful things I had on an HP workstation I worked on a few years ago. Would Motif give me what I want? 2. How do I get NFS connectivity from a Windows 4.0 workstation or server? What would be cool would be to have my FreeBSD server appear in the Network Neighborhood window, perhaps under a sibling branch to Microsoft Network and Netware Network, called NFS. I tried a demo of a commercial product by Xlink (http://www.xlink.com/) but as yet have not got it to work. (It swears my security is not functioning, or that pcnfsd is not running.) Their interface was a bit outdated looking, too -- more like a Win 3.x app. If anybody has an elegant, cheap way to do this please let me know. 3. What needs to be working for Netscape to run? Just vanilla X, or do I need Motif? 4. I could not get a 3com 3C900-COMBO NIC to work. This is a PCI board. I changed to an SMC8000 series board, sixteen bit ISA, and it has worked flawlessly. I like to believe that the PCI board will be faster. 5. When I run /stand/sysinstall in muliti-user more the system dies with a page fault error, but it runs fine in single user more (that is, after executing shutdown). Is this what was intended? -- Gary Dunn Knowledge Tree Honolulu From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 1 02:05:27 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA17143 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 02:05:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from allegro.lemis.com (allegro.lemis.com [192.109.197.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id CAA17131 for ; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 02:05:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by allegro.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA29929; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 20:34:47 +1030 (CST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) id UAA08976; Sun, 1 Feb 1998 20:34:42 +1030 (CST) (envelope-from grog) Message-ID: <19980201203442.44497@lemis.com> Date: Sun, 1 Feb 1998 20:34:42 +1030 From: Greg Lehey To: knowtree@aloha.com Cc: Marco Masotti , questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Binaries NFS transparency References: <34D32A7E.2781@mclink.it> <34D4420D.62F0@aloha.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e In-Reply-To: <34D4420D.62F0@aloha.com>; from Gary Dunn on Sat, Jan 31, 1998 at 11:36:13PM -1000 Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" On Sat, Jan 31, 1998 at 11:36:13PM -1000, Gary Dunn wrote: > Marco Masotti wrote: >> >> I'm trying to NFS share a bunch of binaries, whose size is fairly big, >> from some megs to hundreds. >> >> The NFS server is a PPro FBSD 2.2.5-REL, the client is an Enterprise >> 4000 with Solaris 2.5.1 >> >> At runtime some of the application functions just get stuck. > > If the binaries are executables it is not going to work.

As for sharing with NT/95, don't bother with NFS. Install the Samba port. It is a SMB server for UNIX that is completely compatible with NT/95. It will get your FBSD box to show up in Network Neighborhhod with any name you want. If you don't like the way X looks, intsall a better window manager. Try afterstep or enlightenment. If you like W95, try qvwm or fvwm-95. For a cool desktop look and feel, try kde. All of these are available from the ports page off of the FreeBSD homepage. Motif is nice, but afterstep's GUI is pretty neat too. Also, look into the free lesstif (Motif 1.2 compatible). It comes with mwm. But, if you're use to HP/UX, you'll probably be most at home with kde, a few CDE work-alike.

They're both 10 MB/s boards, and the SMC should run with full speed. A PCI board will put less of a load on your system, though. What was the problem with the 3Com board? > 5.

No. What version of FreeBSD are you running? Versions earlier than 2.2.5 offered multiple opportunities to shoot yourself in the foot.

Nope. Currently ppp cleans the tun device when it starts up and keeps only one IP number assigned to it. Ppp may support multiple IP numbers in the future, but probably not in the way you expect. I'm thinking about the problem where a process starts up, binds a socket and sends a packet. The packet triggers a ppp dial and connects but reassigns the tun interface IP number because of ppp negotiations (this is all explained in http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html). The packet goes out, the target machine receives it and sends back a reply. The reply has nowhere to go because the target IP number is garbage. The originating process should send another packet, but, because the socket is bound to the wrong IP number, the same thing happens again. My plan is to treat the negotiated IP number as the primary interface IP, and any ``old'' IP numbers are assigned as aliases. Any outgoing packets will have their source IP compared against each of the aliases and will be tweaked and un-tweaked by the libalias engine so that the peer sees them as being from the primary IP. Whether or not the IP aliases are created in the first place will be a configurable ``alias'' option. Ie, the alias engine is a pre-requisite. Suddenly it's appropriate that both beasts are called ``aliasing'' :-) At the moment however, ppp is undergoing a serious shuffle so this stuff won't get done for a while. -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

It's not the syntax of the code, it's the shell itself. Instead of reading valid C Shell Scripts like a C Shell does, it reads it like a Bourne or Korn Shell Script. I even put in #!/bin/csh in the first line to make sure that C Shell will execute it.

I tried disklable from /stand/sysinstall (also 10/15 seconds trying something - probably wd1- after launching /stand/sysinstall, before getting into the menu screen !!) but when a configured one of the slices into a FreeBSD system and did a 'W' I saw some very brief message saying something like: 'ufs_fs unexpected recursive lock'. The slice got newfs'ed, but after that I got a kernel panic. Now I have a FreeBSD slice at the end of wd1, I can also mount to it, but always with the same painful probing and delay. Lock??. Why does wd1 takes 15 seconds in mounting? What is FreeBSD looking for before mounting wd1 (or showing the /stand/sysinstall screen)??

A few questions. What shell are you using when you execute the script? Have you tried executing it like this: /bin/csh scriptname.csh ? And what exact errors, etc. are you getting that indicate to you that it's being executed in other than C shell?

Assuming that you are working with a multi-disk system, this is an easily solvable problem.

The additional disk accesses for the directory search during open and the initial read to get the data into the buffer cache would likely make you application much slower. Your P200 can probably do thousands or more hash searches in the time it takes to do disk I/O. Go back and use file locking with fcntl's F_GETLK/F_SETLK/F_SETLKW calls. If your database is fairly small compared to your memory size, you might even consider loading it entirly into shared memory. That eliminates all disk I/O. You could then use semaphores for your locking. (Admittedly, figuring out how to use semop(2) can take some time...) You could then use a daemon process to monitor activity and dump any changes back to disk. If your cgi programs must wait until any database changes have been comitted to disk, then the disk I/O will be the limiting factor in your throughput. > Anyway, about open files.

Forget about the separate files idea. ;-) You lose performance due to both the additional disk accesses and the resulting misses in the buffer cache maintained by the kernel for disk blocks. Even if your transaction rate causes the disk blocks to be in the buffer cache, the I/O from the inode updates would be an additional load on the system. (It may be a load anyway even with two files with each cgi instance opening and closing the files.)

It will tell you right waway. Note that `which' won't tell you the command is a built-in unless you use `csh' or `tcsh', where `which' itself is a built-in. In a shell for which there is no `which' built-in (e.g., `ksh'), you'll end up running `/usr/bin/which', and that "outside" command cannot possibly know about the shell's built-in commands or its currently-established aliases. Try typing which alias inside `ksh'. You'll get no output. However, for most of the shells supported by FreeBSD, there is typically a built-in command that corresponds to `which'. For example: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHELL COMMAND --------------------------------------------------------------------------- tcsh which csh which sh type ksh whence -v type (which is nothing more than an alias for `whence -v' bash type zsh type which whence -v --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ You should emulate your heros, but don't carry it too far.

I still don't think it's going to be possible unless you remove the floppy and padlock the case... I've seen some 'mean' floppy-drive locks though (not like the usual plastic affairs) which might make it more feasable just to lock the drive up... As for getting round the security with 2 disks, well you can do it with 1 for NT, and I seem to remember being able to boot the old SCO system I used to run off a floppy - and then mount the root filesystems etc. (though it wasn't running C2 trusted)... You could always set a BIOS password on the machine, make sure the case is very well secured (back to padlock again) - and disable the machine booting from the Floppy drive - which at least leaves it free for usage once booted?

I then added the the line: define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/aliases,/usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.aliases')dnl Now my understanding it that this will produce 2 aliases, the default /etc/aliases and a new one for majordomo. In perusing the system (2.2.5-R New to me) I found /etc/mail with some neat spam filters. I appended the additions file to the mc file I made, thusly: cat sendmail.cf.additions >> /path/to/ train.mc Then (in /etc/mail) "make install" which made the filter databases. After m4 ../cf.m4 train.mc > sendmail.cf, moving the new file to /etc, and restarting sendmail, we get the above errors.

This really depends on what BIOS you have. I've seen PCs that have two BIOS passwords - one for access to the BIOS settings, and one for booting. If you get a system with such a BIOS (and lock the case), they'll need to know the boot password before they can get to the FreeBSD boot prompt.

If you totally disable the drive, fbsd won't look there, I guess. Just tried, when I removed the drives in the bios, fbsd just rebooted when I tried to boot from floppy.

That is more or less what I am doing -- set myself up as a primary for the 192.168 private network, and forward all other DNS requests to my ISP. The only thing to give me grief was sendmail; it insists on doing some domain lookups when mail is submitted, despite being told that SMTP is expensive and to just queue it. The fix is to have it relay everything through your ISP's mail host (probably not a bad idea anyway) and set up a 'service switch' file that explicitly doesn't mention DNS. The details are all in the FAQ on www.sendmail.org. I now have bind before hosts in /etc/host.conf, my gateway machine as the only nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf and practically nothing in /etc/hosts. It might also help you to have your ppp.linkdown script clear out the routing tables and reset the interface address and default route to something your name server knows about -- this will stop things from dialing out when they look at the routing tables. This setup is continually being refined, so please let me know if you come up with anything new, or need any more help.

It appears from the "netstat -I" that every output packet on the ep0 interface results in a collision. tcpdump shows nothing on the interface originating from host "pantera" but local ping requests show up. Unfortunately, I have no way to get information off the 486. I don't think this is where the problem is though since this host worked the first time on a co-worker's net similar to the one below but with 2 FreeBSD PCs and 1 Sparc 2. If there is anymore information you need let me know. Thanks!

(sorry) Anyway, I'm in the process of using ccd to mirror disks, or more properly the filesystems on them. During a search of the mail archives I saw that you did something similar. Is it possible to mirror /? Is it worthwhile? My main question is the syntax of ccdconfig. What do I use as the interleave when mirroring? I can't find anything about it, really. Is this correct: ccdconfig -cv ccd0 0 CCDF_MIRROR /dev/sd0s1e /dev/sd1s1e where the interleave is 0? Or should I leave the interleave out? Should I dd the "master" to the "slave" first?

I'm running FBSD 2.2.5 on a old 486 box, using it as a gateway/firewall between my home LAN and my xdsl line to my ISP. It's dedicated to that function...runs only natd and dhcpc, no users except for a console session via the serial port. It works very well except that every two or three days it locks up. No console messages or log messages, it just freezes, requiring a punch of the reset button. Someone here mentioned mbufs and netstat -m and I started watching it. All the resource usages displayed seem to be always growing. I'm beginning to wonder if it's leaking something and causing the lock-ups. As I understand it, those allocations are based on the MAXUSER value. It's set to 16 now. Anyone have any advice on this? Am I chasing a red herring? The vmstat values seem to be OK. Any comments will be appreciated. OTOH, I guess I could take the path of least resistance and set up a cron job to reboot every couple days... Thanks...

End of story. Not quite. Currently there are people working on porting FreeBSD to the Alpha platform, as well as to the sun4u platform. Currently the Alpha port is a bit further than the sun port.

The card is configured and the kernel sees it like it should. However any access to the card gets very inconsistent behavior. If I attempt to echo to the cuaa device the echo sometimes hangs in ttywait or less often actually completes. When the echo completes the output shows up out the port (where another computer running a simple character analyzer is connected). When it doesn't complete, the output shows up after the reboot when the boca card is probed! I have tried setting stty clocal on both the device and initial device but the behavior remains inconsistent. I have changed irqs and io ports. I have checked my cables. What am I missing?

Well, from what I understand, FreeBSD's VM system is by far the most robust of the three. IIRC, FreeBSD and NetBSD both branched out of 386BSD, and OpenBSD branched out of NetBSD. Also, I've heard that OpenBSD is a bit stabler and 'better' than NetBSD. Open/Net also run on far more platforms than FreeBSD, which is really just x86. I obviously believe FreeBSD is the best overall of the three, or I'd be running one of the others, and be on that list. ;-) I don't know any of this for certain, but I seem to remember it from various test results and previous discussions.

And that's very uncommon. Of course, there isn't much I can do about it, since you didn't tell me what you're running. I'd suggest you take a look at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. But I'd guess it's a relatively slow machine (386?) with a 16450 UART. Look for a board with 16550 UARTS; they're not expensive, and they should solve the problem. I've been monitoring a 368DX/33 which functions as an Internet gateway, and it had a lot of these overruns until it changed to 16550s. Since then there have been none.

You could modify the biosboot source to *NOT* do that. It wouldn't be terribly difficult to do. Give me a yell if you want me to modify the boot blocks for a particular release of FreeBSD to stop clever people changing the boot drive (changing the kernel would be stupid.. since if you messed up, being able to boot kernel.GENERIC is really good..)

My soundcard is a Soundblaster Pro and I have a STB Velocity 128 4MB Ram Videocard and and 17" Dell Monitor. Are there any special configurations for these since the latest Videocard seems to be the STB Velocity 3D or the STB 64... I would be much obliged if you would help remedy these problems.

Using 'q' to quit will process the mail spool (and the messages will really be deleted), using 'x' to quit will just drop you out of the mail program - and they won't be deleted...

I refuse to believe that nobody's done this before... I'm trying to connect a FreeBSD box into a Livingston async port. This is to replace an existing 486 FreeBSD machine wired up in this manner. I've copied the working machine's setup exactly into the new machine. This setup consists of: a shell script (called from rc.local) that does: #! /bin/sh while (true) do /usr/sbin/pppd -detach cuaa0 115200 /bin/sleep 10 done An options file: crtscts silent defaultroute 206.153.73.229:206.153.73.36 netmask 255.255.255.252 A stty -a -f /dev/cuaa0 on each machine gives identical output, so I'm fairly sure the port is configured properly. ppp is compiled in the kernel. Any thoughts on what I should check next? What am I missing?

I. If I have a domain (e.g. splash.nu) and have users dialling up, and getting a static IP which resolves to their domain name (e.g. kronus.splash.nu) is it possible for me to have it so that each user can have unlimited e-mail addresses per domain name (e.g. the user who own's kronus.splash.nu could have mail to postmaster@kronus.splash.nu, root@kronus.splash.nu etc.), obviously this is either going to involve.. o Coding my own SMTP & POP3 server (last resort ;) o Rigging sendmail & ipop3d o Could qmail handle this? o What about MMDF? II. If I have a domain (e..g splash.nu) and have users dialling up, and getting a DYNAMIC IP address can I, as they login have their IP added to the zone file so that the IP they've been assigned get's resolved to their domain name (e.g. every user has their own hostname, user kronus would have kronus.splash.nu). I don't particularly want to have a shell script doing an ndc restart everytime someone logs in. Would this involve kludging named to handle this?

The program below should print the first command line argument but when I try to compile it I get the errors 'argc' undeclared and 'argv' undeclared. I've been through the getopt man page dozens of times but I can't see where it shows how to declare argc and argv. So if they're not defined in stdlib.h I don't know where they come from. #include #include main() { extern char *optarg; extern int optind; int ch = 0; ch = getopt(argc, argv, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"); printf ("%c\n",ch); } At this point I'm so frustrated with this I would be happy with a way of just getting the command line arguments as a single string and decode them myself.

You may have selected to leave unformat information on the disk which will take space. fdimage needs the disk formatted so it can determine it's size, after that it just blows right over it.

Originally, I enabled mse0, but disabling it hasn't improved matters any. My problem is that once these drivers are configured and I leave the configuration screen, the screen goes blank, save for what appears to be a large cursor at the upper left corner of the screen. If I wait a few seconds, my machine reboots and I'm back to square one. On the other hand, if I use the default configuration I experience a whole pile of conflicts, but I do successfully reach the installation screen!

I was wondering if there was a way to figure out why it reboots. The amount of time it takes until it reboots can vary from 2 hours to 8 days. If it is a hardware problem, any idea which hardware is causing it to reboot? I thought it might have been the power supply because once in a while the entire system would go dead like there was no juice to it. I have replaced the power supply and it is still rebooting. >From dmesg...

Sounds like someone is trying to do autobaud. Also check your modem's settings and check that the remote host is actually working.

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5 from the CDROM on 3 systems in our lab. The 3 systems are connected via 2 Ethernet segments. One of the systems is connected to both Ethernet segments and routes between the two segments. However, *all* systems are running "routed -s". BSD1 ---------- BSD2 ---------- BSD3 Things worked fine, so we started expanding. On the Ethernet segment used between BSD1 and BSD2, a router was added to access the corporate net (and the Internet.) R | BSD1 ---------- BSD2 ---------- BSD3 BSD1 also has a default route configured to use BSD2. BSD1 also has a net/subnet route created for it by ifconfig. When BSD1 pings the IP address of the router R, future packets go directly to the router R. Running the "route -n monitor" command in another window also says that a redirect happened. A (host) entry is also added to the routing table of BSD1 for the router (shown via netstat -rn). The netstat entry for router R has flags of 'UHLW' I believe that this is a result of the destination IP address matching the net/subnet entry in the routing table and the "host" R is cloned. Tcpdump on the LAN segment doesn't show an ICMP redirect message. The default route is still set to BSD2. This netstat entry has flags of 'UGSc'. The netstat entry for the net/subnet entry created by ifconfig for this subnet is 'UC' When BSD1 pings to something on the corporate network (accessed via router R), there is *no* ICMP redirect from BSD2. Traffic goes from BSD1 through BSD2 to router R. Traceroute confirms this. Shouldn't routed be sending ICMP redirect messages from BSD2 to BSD1? Thanks, MikeC Michael C.

I don't know the Microsoft Intellimouse, but I assume that, like most Microsoft mice, it only has two buttons. Under these circumstances, you should really consider getting a new mouse, such as a Logitech 3 button mouse. If you also use Microsoft software, you'll be interested to know that Logitech supply a driver which emulates Microsoft's silly double-click with a press of the middle button.

Sue - The easiest answer is just to add a line in /etc/aliases on the mail server which will intercept their mail and split off two copies, one of which goes to you and the other to the new address which you will program their mail agent to respond to. jack: newjack@welearn.com.au, sue@welearn.com.au and then run newaliases to change it. You will get a full copy of their mail.

I'm sure it's not as good as a real three-button mouse, and it's almost certainly more expensive. You should get as comfortable a mouse as possible. Mice, and especially things like double-click, are responsible for a disproportionate number of arm injuries.

The outq error was a typo in the source code. It's now fixed. You can get the current version of ppp from http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian. I'd appreciate if you'd download the latest version and post if you're still getting segmentation faults. There's a bit in the FAQ on http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html that explains how to coerce ppp into dumping core if it's suffering from segmentation faults or the like (which it should *never* do). > Thanks > Vince That said, your speed problem is due to the sio overflows. I'd be quite surprised if this is anything to do with ppp. Have you tried things on another serial port (if you have two) ? What DTR speed are you using ? It should be 115200bps for a 33k modem.

I like to have more partitions for several reasons: 1) if you fill up 1 partition, you still have space elsewhere 2) if a partition for some reason gets scrogged, the others will still work. On many systems, /usr can be read-only for all practical purposes, with /usr/tmp on a writable system.

About the first part of your reply, I found a good software which can handle SmartUPS modified lately by Dough White. It's a good one. It can execute a halt command to shut down the machine after setting the UPS shutdown delay. It didn't go into my head, why you wanted to modify the kernel to shutdown. This code can be found in ftp://gdi.uoregon.edu/pub/upsd-2.0.1.6.1.tgz. About the second part, I am really interested in knowing what exactly it does. By the brief description, I am getting ideas to use it to synchronize the shutting down of all machines in case of power failure. I was thinking of writing a s/w which would broadcast a packet in the network and a client listening to it brings down the system. But I am too naive and have to study a lot to do this. --Gopu Bruce M. Walter wrote: > > Gopakumar, > > > Basically, I am planning to look into the APC ssd code and modify it.

That's a valid point. That's why I still think a separate root file system is a good idea, and I think that there is significant merit in the idea of a combined read-only root and /usr file system. > On many systems, /usr can be read-only for all practical purposes, > with /usr/tmp on a writable system.

As long as this is turning into a discussion of the logic behind different partitioning schemes, I thought I'd toss in another factor for consideration. (Please bear in mind that I may not have the slightest idea what I'm talking about, since I've spent very little time messing with quotas.) Considering that quotas are tracked on a per-filesystem basis, and that the size of the quota.* files appears to be relative to the number of files in the filesystem, it would seem to be a good idea for /usr/home to be a separate partition on systems with quotas enabled. My feeling (again, no personal experience) is that such an arrangement would not only save space, but also improve performance.

Thanks to all those who offered suggestions. They all made sense, and they all nearly worked. The most spectacular attempt so far (user:user,"|/path/scriptname" in /etc/aliases) resulted in errors of such magnitude (trying to forward to user called "|/path/scriptname") that root was sent a copy of the whole disaster... and root mail gets forwarded to me anyway so it was a kind of success :-) Well I'd better study up on this forward and script business some more, then maybe I'll see a way to delete the private message body before it gets sent to me. Meanwhile, bash seems able to check for other people's mail and that might be good enough.

It tells sendmail to leave a copy of the letter in the user's mail dir. Without this, you'll get into a massive loop. e.g.: ~user/.forward: \user, "| /path/scriptname" That should solve the disaster problem.

I finally convinced him to try FreeBSD (after much coaxing -- yeah!!), however in porting his code from Linux to FreeBSD he has discovered that the math libraries in FreeBSD (2.2.5 and -current) do not return "Inf" on 1.0/0.0 or "NaN" on 0.0/0.0 but rather result in a rather unpleasant "Floating exception (core dumped)" !!! Is there some way to change this behavior so that it returns Inf or NaN as appropriate. I've compiled a little test program under native FreeBSD and under /compat/linux and have found that the /compat/linux version returns the appropriate Inf or NaN. If the solution requires writing new code in the core math routines of FreeBSD, how difficult would it be to tackle this job? What documentation would aid this quest? It would be a shame to loose a good software product from a commercial vendor due to something as silly as this.

The result is that most leading edge comput- er books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. The second edi- tion has only just been published, but already a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They re- late to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. This list 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 book to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this docu- ment: it's closest to the original text. 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 under- lining. 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 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 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 bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@FreeBSD.org). General changes o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find pro- cess 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 output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake for this information 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 dis- tribution 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 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. You'll have to reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # password root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup Note that you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the system doesn't have the concept of user IDs. 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 197, first line The text of the first full sentence reads: The first name, up the the symbol, is the label. In fact, it should read: The first name, up the the | symbol, is the label. 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 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 con- venient 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 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 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 directory sbin, not bin). Check both locations if you run into trouble. Thanks to Sue Blake for this information.

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. 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 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 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 or -hackers? ========================================= Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. 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, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling 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 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. 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. 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. 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 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 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.

In fact, I was testing with just components strewn across a worktable and it booted with no power switch connected at all. Maybe there's some option in your bios?

If I simply gunzip the tar files (piped thru tar) then I still get the broken pipe message after each tar file. The make script reports that the checksums are ok. I _think_ the tarballs got zip without something? Maybe? As I said I'm not a programer but I'm usually able to get more than this out of a port. This port, however is _way_ more complex, and I'm stumped. Any Other ideas appreciated. Thanks again for the attention.

I have recompiled with the firewall option, and the divert option. Before I recompiled the kernel ppp was *fully functional*, that is I could just 'ppp -auto myserv' and it'd do its thing without problem. Now, if I do this nothing happens. If I manually run ppp and connect, it dials in and receives the PPP info and drops me back to the ppp command prompt--but it never capitalizes the 'ppp' in the prompt to let me know it is fully functional. I'm assuming the firewall code is throwing a wrench into things somewhere, but I cant seem to figure out where. I am running 2.2.5-R, from the NatD manpages I generated a new firewall type of 'divert' to /etc/rc.conf, which is basically: $fwcmd add divert natd all from any to any via tun0 $fwcmd add pass all from any to any And when I boot--it does run correctly. I am not running natd yet.

Look at 'man mail'. > This is true, but not necessarily all that helpful if what you want is to get Netscape mail working. I have a question about mail myself, that I am reminded of: a) FreeBSD mail/sendmail is configured to use flock mail file locking, with the /var/spool/mail directory permissions set so that dot-locking is not allowed (no "other" write permission on /var/mail). This is fine and good, and is the BSD way to do it, but: b) flock doesn't work across NFS, I believe. I've heard something about the rpc.lockd protocol being unimplementable. (Impossible to avoid race conditions?) The obvioius BSD answer to this is "don't do that". Run an imap4 or pop service on the mail host instead, and have your MUA talk to that. Certainly Netscape can be made to do that (talk to a POP server). What do we do about MUAs like Netscape that come as binaries for other platforms (Linux, for example), and want to do dot-locking? Do we have to build and run a POP server just to talk to our local mail spool? Now that there is a native FreeBSD version of Netscape, it presumably _does_ use flock mail file locking, so the problem is moot. It does, doesn't it? If that is the case, then the answer to the original question is probably "use the most recent FreeBSD version, from the ports collection".

Still fiddling with that one... Well, here's a suggestion. You can have xbiff point at different files. For instance, I have the various FreeBSD lists procmail'd to different folders, so I have a script that does the following: xbiff -geometry blah & xbiff -file /home/fullermd/mail/f-questions -geometry blah ... So, if you run xbiff as root, and point it at the user's mail file. This doesn't notify you, but it will beep on your screen. I would bet that there'd be some way to do this with procmail; execute a script of some sort when mail appears... *shrug* My $0.02. The xbiff would still be sitting there staring at you whenever you got back to the computer; that's the advantage. I have 6 xbiffs on my screen at the moment... ;-) Hope it helps!! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 2 22:26:55 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA01931 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Feb 1998 22:26:55 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from quackerjack.cc.vt.edu (quackerjack.cc.vt.edu [198.82.160.250]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id WAA01923 for ; Mon, 2 Feb 1998 22:26:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rostewa2@vt.edu) Received: from sable.cc.vt.edu (sable.cc.vt.edu [128.173.16.30]) by quackerjack.cc.vt.edu (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA14721 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 01:28:59 -0500 (EST) Received: from vt.edu (rostewa2.campus.vt.edu [198.82.96.185]) by sable.cc.vt.edu (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA01348 for ; Tue, 3 Feb 1998 01:26:45 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <34D67266.83211CD9@vt.edu> Date: Tue, 03 Feb 1998 01:27:02 +0000 From: Brandon Stewart X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: How to get c-math library functions to work Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" I cannot get the various goodies in math.h to work. I need the exp() function for a numerical methods class for an assignment due tomorrow (a quick reply would be greatly appreciated). When I compile a file that includes math.h and uses exp(), I get a linker error (undefined .. _exp referenced from text segment). I tried the same code on the lab machines (Which also run freebsd), and got the same thing. Brought the code to a win95 machine, and compilation and linkage worked perfectly.

More to the point... I want to use PHP on FreeBSD to talk to MS-SQL. Sybase has released a free Linux ct-lib binary that will work with MS-SQL as well as Sybase. Compiling PHP to support Sybase and MS-SQL with that library would (presumably) require linking with it. Is this anywhere near the realm of possibility, or should I look elsewhere for a solution?

The aic driver correctly probes and identifies the card and then correctly identifies the attached device. I have tried both a fujitsu disk and an exebyte 8200 configured for id 6, and in both cases the device is activated by the driver, i.e. the activitiy light comes on, but it never completes a single I/O operation. Eventually it times out with messages like the following: Feb 3 01:09:40 sol /kernel: sd0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 3 01:11:20 sol /kernel: sd0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 3 01:13:00 sol /kernel: sd0(aic0:6:0): timed out - or - Feb 2 23:47:46 sol /kernel: st0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 2 23:49:26 sol /kernel: st0(aic0:6:0): timed out Feb 2 23:51:06 sol /kernel: st0(aic0:6:0): timed out Are there any known problems with the aic driver and this card? I recompiled the kernel with the SCSI_DELAY option, but that didn't help. Should I bag the card and get a new one?
