How did you install? From the ports, or? If you fetched programs yourself, and run ./configure on them they might not have the same defaults for installed programs as FreeBSD has.

SCSI without termination is not the greatest idea. You're also loosing speed. (Both from the lack of speed, and the adapter on the drives.) The Adpatec 2940 card is in my opinion, an OK card. If you can find something with the NCR-875 chipset (like an Asus SC-875,) you'll be better off in the long run.

I'm trying to write a small shell script that replaces non-ascii characters with the html equivalent in a file and just can't seem to figure how to identify the non-ascii characters. for example, I have written a small shell script that takes a file name as input to replace them using sed. Here is the script. #!/bin/sh for file in $* do sed -n "s/\\0x80/\Ç\;/g" ${file} sed -n "s/\\0x81/\ü\;/g" ${file} ..... bunches more done The problem is the search part isn't finding the special character. I have tried cutting and pasting the special character directly into the script as well, but it doesn't seem to work either. Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish. Thanks in advance.

I work in a ms/novel plant where the boss uses an external company/consultant to do the networking admin . and firewall stuff. I have to run win98/nt in side but have a fbsd2.2.7 on the outside. Does anyone know how i would test to see if i can get a specific tcp port through. I want to be able to mount a samba share on my fbsd box at work. I'm having some trouble doing it but I don't know if it is becase of the @#$%^&*( firewall Ad some questions just create more paranoia so asking is the very LAST resourt.

Disk partition moved Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings, A really stupid thing just happened to me. I have 3 SCSI disks in my machine. Disk 0 is a 4 gig, disk 1 and 2 are 2 gigs each. I had NT-4 on disk 0, and FreeBSD-Current on disks 1 and 2. Disk 1 was set up as follows.... sd1s1a / 25meg sd1s1b swap 120meg sd1s1e /usr ~1855 meg Disk 2 was set up as follows..... sd2s3b swap 120meg sd2s3e /usr2 ~1880 meg Both disks were "dangerously dedicated" and I always used a boot floppy to start FreeBSD. I removed NT from the first disk (disk 0) and installed SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 so I could begin work on porting a couple apps to FreeBSD for one of my business customers. The process of doing this changed the partition table of the second disk (disk 1), or the first FreeBSD disk. Booting FreeBSD now results in mounting da1s4a as /, (read only) and fails to add the swap or /usr slices. FreeBSD's fdisk now shows that partition 1,2, and 3 are unused and that partition 4 is the FreeBSD partition. The geometries and partition type are correct.... it's just as if it was 'moved' from partition 1 to partition 4. The disklabel also seems to be correct.... that is, disklabel -r shows the correct slices of the correct size. I cannot mount / read-write or mount /usr at all as there are no /dev/sd1s4* devices and can't mount / read-write to create them. Disk 2 was unaffected and can be mounted normally. Is there an easy way to recover from this? I'm assuming that if I edit the partition table I'll lose everything. I have a backup so it's not a loss. I'd rather avoid all that hassle though, if possible. Many thanks in advance -- Randall D DuCharme Systems Engineer Novell, Microsoft, and UNIX Networking Support Computer Specialists Free Your Machine....

As a suggestion try #!/bin/sh for file in $* do cp ${file} /tmp/${file} awk '{gsub("\x80", "\\Ç"); \ gsub("\x81", "\\&Cuuml"); \ ...more of the same print}' < /tmp/${file} > ${file} rm /tmp/${file} done ``gsub()'' replaces all occurrences in a line. Note that ``&'' needs escaping with ``\\''. I'm not sure if there is a limit to the length of line that awk can process. Perl may well provide the best solution though.

The lnc0 driver will find the card when I give it the Address. It identifies the chip and the MAC address, but then the computer locks, doesn't finish booting and I have to power it off. The driver does not say it supports this card or chip. I am using 2.2.7 right now. Does any one know if there is a driver available or if I am doing something wrong.

I don't think the default FreeBSD's ftp client supports that, but there are many utilities in the ports collection that will do it. Some examples are lftp's mirror command, wget's "-r" (or "--recursive") option, etc (ncftp -?). Also some servers run smart daemons, so you can say "get somdir.tar", or "get somedir.tar.gz" and get an archive containing the dir and its subdirs automagically (ftp.xemacs.org is like this, for instance). As for the specific options, you will have to look at the man/info pages for whatever command you end up deciding on. -- Evgeny Roubinchtein, eroubinc@u.washington.edu ...................

I'm new to Unix and FreeBSD, and I'm taking my first stab at installing a printer for printing simple text only. OS is FreeBSD 2.2.8 installed from CD ROM set I am still running the "generic" kernel. lpd is running. Machine is 486 DX2-50 with 20 meg of memory Printer is Panasonic KX-P4410 Laser Printer, with HP IIp emulation. It's set up as device lpd0 on my machine's parallel port. I can send print jobs to the printer, but I get the "staircase effect" were each line is offset to the right until the text is off the right margin...my printer isn't interpeting Ctl-j as both newline and return. I think I've done everything correctly, according to everything I could look up on line. Could someone review the following for correct syntax or some "Newbie" error: Here is my printcap, comments snipped for bandwith: # @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 #(COMMENTS SNIPPED) # lp|local line printer:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: # #(REMAINING COMMENTED LINES SNIPPED) Here is my input filter, "if-simple" #!/bin/sh printf"\033&k2G" && cat && printf"\f" && exit 0 exit 2 I checked my printer's manual and the ESC &k2G should do the trick, but my printer continues to "staircase" no matter what I do. I tried "lpfilter" from "The Complete FreeBSD...following the installation instructions carefully. My printer then would only eject a blank sheet of paper with no text at all. The Free BSD manual mentions that pre-written input filters are "around." Does anyone know where a directory of these filters might be found on the net, or is there someone on the list who has already written the proper filter for a Panasonic KX-P4410 Laser Partner Printer? Thanks to all again for any help!

You cannot boot an ELF kernel directly. You'll need to do: cd /usr/src/sys/boot make all install (I think that's it) and then specify `/boot/loader' as the kernel to boot (you can put that in /boot.config as well) and then follow the instructions given. Use the boot command to boot a kernel, for example `boot kernel.elf' if that's what you've called your ELF kernel. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 1 17:02:16 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA17470 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 1 Jan 1999 17:02:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: (from grog@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA17455 for FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org; Fri, 1 Jan 1999 17:02:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog) Date: Fri, 1 Jan 1999 17:02:12 -0800 (PST) From: Greg Lehey Message-Id: <199901020102.RAA17455@hub.freebsd.org> To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. =================================================== Last update 23 February 1998 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. For further information on this subject, check http://www.lemis.com/email.html. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: If you get error messages, don't say ``I get error messages'', say (for example) ``I get the error message 'No route to host'''. If your system panics, don't say ``My system panicked'', say (for example) ``my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'''. If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 7. If you 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.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. The second edition 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 relate 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 document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only 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 Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD 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 at General changes _______________ o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find process information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake for this information Location of the sample files ____________________________ On the 2.2.5 CD-ROM only, the location of the sample files does not match the specifications in the book (/book on the first CD-ROM). The 2.2.5 CD-ROM came out before the book, and it contains the files on the third (repository) CD-ROM as a single gzipped tar file /xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz. It contains the following files: drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/ drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/mutt/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 352 Oct 15 15:21 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.mail_aliases -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 9394 Oct 15 15:22 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.muttrc drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 18281 Oct 16 16:52 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.fvwm2rc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 1392 Oct 17 12:54 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-desktop -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 296 Oct 17 12:35 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.xinitrc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 622 Oct 17 13:51 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-rcfiles -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1133 Oct 17 13:00 1997 cfbsd/scripts/Uutry -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1028 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/README drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 18 19:32 1997 cfbsd/docs/ Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 199111 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.txt -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 189333 Oct 16 14:28 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.txt -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 188108 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 226439 Oct 16 14:27 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 788 Oct 16 15:01 1997 cfbsd/README -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 248 Oct 17 11:52 1997 cfbsd/errata To extract one of these files, say cfbsd/docs/packages.txt, and assuming you have the CD-ROM mounted as /cdrom, enter: # cd /usr/share/doc # tar xvzf /cdrom/xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz cfbsd/docs/packages.txt See page 209 for more information on using tar. These files are an early version of what is described in the book. I'll put up some updated versions on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/ in the near future. Thanks to Frank McCormick for drawing this to my attention. Chapter 8: Setting up X11 _________________________ For FreeBSD 2.2.7, this chapter has changed sufficiently to make it impractical to distribute errata. You can download the PostScript version from ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/xsetup.ps, or the ASCII version from ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/xsetup.txt. No HTML version is available. Page xxxiv __________ Before the discussion of the shell prompts in the middle of the page, add: In this book, I recommend the use of the Bourne shell or one of its descendents (sh, bash, pdksh, ksh or zsh). With the exception of sh, they are all in the Ports Collection. I personally use the bash shell. This is a personal preference, and a recommendation, but it's not the standard shell. The standard BSD shell is the C shell (csh), which has a fuller- featured descendent tcsh. In particular, the standard installation sets the root user up with a csh. See page 152 (in this errata) for details of how to change the shell. Page 3 General changes Page 11: Reading the handbook _____________________________ The CD-ROM now includes Mosaic and Netscape. Replace the last paragraph on the page and the example on the following page with: If you're running X, you can use a browser like Mosaic or Netscape to read the handbook. Both of these programs are included on the CD-ROM. If you don't have X running, use lynx. To install them, enter: $ pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/mosaic-2.7b5.tgz or $ pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/netscape-3.04.tgz or $ pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/lynx-2.7.2.tgz The numbers after the name (2.7b5, 3.04 and 2.7.2) may change after this book has been printed. Use ls to list the names if you can't find these particular versions. Thanks to Stuart Henderson for drawing this to my attention. Page 12: Printing the handbook ______________________________ The instructions for formatting the handbook are obsolete. Replace the section starting Alternatively, you can print out the handbook with the following text: Alternatively, you can print out the handbook. You need to have the documentation sources (/usr/doc) installed on your system. You can find them on the second CD-ROM in the directory of the same name. To install them, first mount your CD-ROM (see page 175). Then enter: $ cd /cdrom/usr/doc/handbook $ mkdir -p /usr/doc/handbook you may need to be root for this operation $ cp -pr * /usr/doc/handbook You have a choice of formats for the output: o ascii will give you plain 7-bit ASCII output, suitable for reading on a character-mode terminal. Page 4 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition o html will give you HTML output, suitable for browsing with a web browser. o latex will give you LATEX format, suitable for further processing with TEX and LATEX. o ps will give you PostScript output, probably the best choice for printing. o roff will give you output in troff source. You can process this output with nroff or troff, but it's currently not very polished. LATEX output is a better choice if you want to process it further. Once you have decided your format, use make to create the document. For example, if you decide on PostScript format, you would enter: $ make FORMATS=ps This creates a file handbook.ps which you can then print to a PostScript printer or with the aid of ghostscript (see page 222). Thanks to Bob Beer for drawing this to my attention. Page 45: Preparing floppies for installation _____________________________________________ Replace the paragraph below the list of file names (in the middle of the page) with: The floppy set should contain the file bin.inf and the ones whose names start with bin. followed by two letters. These other files are all 240640 bytes long, except for the final one which is usually shorter. Use the MS-DOS COPY program to copy as many files as will fit onto each disk (5 or 6) until you've got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Copy each distribution into subdirectory corresponding to the base name--for example, copy the bin distribution to the files A:\BIN\BIN.INF, A:\BIN\BIN.AA and so on. Page 80 and 81 ______________ In a couple of examples, the FreeBSD partition is shown as type 164. It should be 165. Thanks to an unknown contributer for this correction (sorry, I lost your name). Page 5 General changes Page 88: setting up for dumping _______________________________ The example mentions a variable savecore in /etc/rc.conf. This variable is no longer used--it's enough to set the variable dumpdev. Page 92 _______ At the end of the section How to install a package add the text: Alternatively, you can install packages from the /stand/sysinstall Final Configuration Menu. We saw this menu on page in figure 4-14 on page 71. When you start sysinstall from the command line, you get to this menu by selecting Index, and then selecting Configure. Page 93 _______ Before the heading Install ports from the first CD-ROM add: Install ports when installing the system ________________________________________ The file ports/ports.tgz on the first CD-ROM is a tar archive containing all the ports. You can install it with the base system if you select the Custom distribution and include the ports collection. If you didn't install them at the time, use the following method to install them all (about 40 MB). Make sure your CD-ROM is mounted (in this example on /cdrom), and enter: Page 96 _______ Replace the example at the top of the page with: Instead, do: # cd /cd4/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # for i in *; do > ln -s /cd4/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i > done Page 6 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition If you're using csh or tcsh, enter: # cd /cd4/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # foreach i (*) ? ln -s /cd4/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i ? end Thanks to Christopher Raven and Francois Jacques for drawing this to my attention. Page 128 ________ Replace the complete text below the example with the following: These values are defaults, and many are either incorrect for FreeBSD (for example the device name /dev/com1) or do not apply at all (for example Xqueue). If you are configuring manually, select one Protocol and one Device entry from the following selection. If you must use a two-button mouse, uncomment the keyword Emulate3Buttons--in this mode, pressing both mouse buttons simultane- ously within Emulate3Timeout milliseconds causes the server to report a middle button press. Section "Pointer" Protocol "Microsoft" for Microsoft protocol mice Protocol "MouseMan" for Logitech mice Protocol "PS/2" for a PS/2 mouse Protocol "Busmouse" for a bus mouse Device "/dev/ttyd0" for a mouse on the first serial port Device "/dev/ttyd1" for a mouse on the second serial port Device "/dev/ttyd2" for a mouse on the third serial port Device "/dev/ttyd3" for a mouse on the fourth serial port Device "/dev/psm0" for a PS/2 mouse Device "/dev/mse0" for a bus mouse Emulate3Buttons only for a two-button mouse EndSection You'll notice that the protocol name does not always match the manufacturer's name. In particular, the Logitech protocol only applies to older Logitech Page 7 Install ports when installing the system mice. The newer ones use either the MouseMan or Microsoft protocols. Nearly all modern serial mice run one of these two protocols, and most run both. If you are using a bus mouse or a PS/2 mouse, make sure that the device driver is included in the kernel. The GENERIC kernel contains drivers for both mice, but the PS/2 driver is disabled. Use UserConfig (see page 50) to enable it. Page 140 ________ Just before the paragraph The super user add the following paragraph: If you do manage to lose the root password, all may not be lost. Reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # passwd 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 148 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Modern shells supply command line editing which resembles the editors vi or Emacs. In bash, sh, ksh, and zsh you can make the choice by entering Page 152 ________ After figure 10-8, add the following text: It would be tedious for every user to put settings in their private initialization files, so the shells also read a system-wide default file. For the Bourne shell family, it is /etc/profile, while the C shell family has three files: /etc/csh.login to be executed on login, /etc/csh.cshrc to be executed when a new shell is started after you log in, and /etc/csh.logout to be executed when you stop a shell. The start files are executed before the corresponding individual files. Page 8 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition In addition, login classes (page 141) offer another method of setting environment variables at a global level. Changing your shell ___________________ The FreeBSD installation gives root a C shell, csh. This is the traditional Berkeley shell, but it has a number of disadvantages: command line editing is very primitive, and the script language is significantly different from that of the Bourne shell, which is the de facto standard for shell scripts: if you stay with the C shell, you may still need to understand the Bourne shell. The latest version of the Bourne shell sh also includes some command line editing. See page 148 for details of how to enable it. You can get better command line editing with tcsh, in the Ports Collection. You can get both better command line editing and Bourne shell syntax with bash, also in the Ports Collection. If you have root access, you can use vipw to change your shell, but there's a more general way: use chsh (Change Shell). Simply run the program. It starts your favourite editor (as defined by the EDITOR environment variable). Here's an example before: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /bin/csh Full Name: Jack Velte Location: Office Phone: Home Phone: You can change anything after the colons. For example, you might change this to: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash Full Name: Jack Velte Location: On the road Office Phone: +1-408-555-1999 Home Phone: chsh checks and updates the password files when you save the modifications and exit the editor. The next time you log in, you get the new shell. chsh tries to ensure you don't make any mistakes--for example, it won't let you enter the name of a shell which isn't mentioned in the file /etc/shells--but it's a very Page 9 Install ports when installing the system good idea to check the shell before logging out. You can try this with su, which you normally use to become super user: bumble# su velte Password: su-2.00$ note the new prompt There are a couple of problems in using tcsh or bash as a root shell: o The shell for root must be on the root file system, otherwise it will not work in single user mode. Unfortunately, most ports of shells put the shell in the directory /usr/local/bin, which is almost never on the root file system. o Most shells are dynamically linked: they rely on library routines in files such as /usr/lib/libc.a. These files are not available in single user mode, so the shells won't work. You can solve this problem by creating statically linked versions of the shell, but this requires programming experience beyond the scope of this book. If you can get hold of a statically linked version, perform the following steps to install it: o Copy the shell to /bin, for example: # cp /usr/local/bin/bash /bin o Add the name of the shell to /etc/shells, in this example the line in bold print: # List of acceptable shells for chpass(1). # Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using # one of these shells. /bin/sh /bin/csh /bin/bash You can then change the shell for root as described above. Thanks to Lars Koller for drawing this to my attention. Page 10 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 175 ________ In the section Mounting file systems, replace the text down to and including the example with: Microsoft platforms identify partitions by letters which are assigned at boot time. There is no obvious relation between the partitions, and you have little control over the way the system assigns them. By contrast, all UNIX partitions have a specific relation to the root file system, which is called simply /. This flexibility has one problem: you have the choice of where in the overall file system structure you put your individual file systems. You specify the location with the mount command. For example, you would typically mount a CD- ROM in the directory /cdrom, but if you have three CD-ROM drives attached to your SCSI controller, you might prefer to mount them in the directories /cd0, /cd1, and /cd2. [1] In order to mount a file system, you need to specify the device to be mounted, where it is to be mounted, and the type of file system (unless it is ufs). The mount point, (the directory where it is to be mounted) must already exist. To mount your second CD-ROM on /cd1, you would enter: # mkdir /cd1 only if it doesn't exist # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/cd1a /cd1 Thanks to Christiane Yeardly for drawing this to my attention. Page 176 ________ Add the following paragraph ____________________ [1] This numbering is in keeping with the UNIX tradition of numbering starting from 0. There's nothing to stop you choosing some other name, of course. Page 11 Install ports when installing the system Unmounting file systems When you mount a file system, the system assumes it is going to stay there, and in the interests of efficiency it delays writing data back to the file system. This is the same effect we discussed on page 158. As a result, if you want to stop using a file system, you need to tell the system about it. You do this with the umount command. Note the spelling--there's no n in the command name. You need to do this even with read-only media such as CD-ROMs: the system assumes it can access the data from a mounted file system, and it gets quite unhappy if it can't. Where possible, it locks removable media so that you can't remove them from the device until you unmount them. Using umount is straightforward: just tell it what to unmount, either the device name or the directory name. For example, to unmount the CD-ROM we mounted in the example above, you could enter one of these commands: # umount /dev/cd1a # umount /cd1 Before unmounting a file system, umount checks that nobody is using it. If somebody is using it, it will refuse to unmount it with a message like umount: /cd1: Device busy. This message often occurs because you have changed your directory to a directory on the file system you want to remove. For example (which also shows the usefulness of having directory names in the prompt): === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 16 -> umount /cd1 umount: /cd1: Device busy === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 17 -> cd === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 18 -> umount /cd1 === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 19 -> Thanks to Ken Deboy for pointing out this omission. Page 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: Page 12 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition The first name, up to the | symbol, is the label. Page 208, middle of page ________________________ The example shows the file name /dev/rst0 when using the Bourne shell, and /dev/nrst0 when using C shell and friends. This is inconsistent; use /dev/nrst0 with any shell if you want a non-rewinding tape, or /dev/rst0 if you want a rewinding tape. Thanks to Norman C Rice for pointing out this one. Page 219 ________ Before the section Testing the spooler add the following section: Starting the spooler ____________________ As we saw above, the line printer daemon lpd is responsible for printing spooled jobs. If you're root, you can start it by name: # lpd Normally, however, you will want it to be started automatically when the system starts up. You do this by setting the variable lpd_enable in /etc/rc.conf: lpd_enable="YES" # Run the line printer daemon See page 1609 for more details of /etc/rc.conf. Thanks to Tommy G. James for bringing this to my attention. Page 231 ________ Replace the first line of the example with: Page 13 Starting the spooler xhost presto bumble gw The original version allowed anybody on the Internet to access your system. Thanks to Jerry Dunham for drawing this one to my attention. Page 237 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: To do this, you could type in, on presto, $ rsh freebie xterm -ls -display presto:0 & The flag -ls tells xterm that this is a login shell, which causes it to read in the startup files. It might work without this flag, but there's a good chance that some environment variables, such as PATH, may not be set. In practice, the xterms menus in the window manager will perform this function for you when you select the appropriate menu item. Thanks to Manuel Enrique Garcia for drawing this to my attention. In the section Installing the sample desktop, replace the first paragraph with: You'll find all the files described in this chapter on the first CD-ROM (Installation CD-ROM) in the directory /book. Remember that you must mount the CD-ROM before you can access the files--see page 175 for further details. The individual scripts are in the directory /book/scripts, but you'll probably find it easier to install them with the script install-desktop: Thanks to Chris Kaiser for drawing this to my attention. Page 242 ________ The instructions for extracting the source files from CD-ROM in the middle of page 242 are incorrect. You'll find the kernel sources on the first CD-ROM in the directory /src. Replace the example with: Page 14 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/src/ssys.[a-d]* | tar xzvf - Thanks to Raymond Noel , Suttipan Limanond and Satwant for finding this one in several small slices. Page 257 ________ Replace the paragraph Berkeley Packet Filter with: pseudo-device bpfilter ______________________ The Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf) allows you to capture packets crossing a network interface to disk or to examine them with the tcpdump program. Note that this capability represents a significant compromise of network security. The number after bpfilter is the number of concurrent processes that can use the facility. Not all network interfaces support bpf. In order to use the Berkeley Packet Filter, you must also create the device nodes /dev/bpf0 to /dev/bpf3 (if you're using the default number 4). Current- ly, MAKEDEV doesn't help much--you need to create each device separately: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV bpf0 # ./MAKEDEV bpf1 # ./MAKEDEV bpf2 # ./MAKEDEV bpf3 Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my attention. Page 264 ________ In the list of disk driver flags, add: o Bit 12 (0x1000) enables LBA (logical block addressing mode). If this bit is not set, the driver accesses the disk in CHS (cylinder/head/sector) mode. Page 15 Starting the spooler o In CHS mode, if bits 11 to 8 are not equal to 0, they specify the number of heads to assume (between 1 and 15). The driver recalculates the number of cylinders to make up the total size of the disk. Page 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 294 ________ Add the following section: Problems executing Linux binaries _________________________________ One of the problems with the ELF format used by more recent Linux binaries is that they usually contain no information to identify them as Linux binaries. They might equally well be BSD/OS or UnixWare binaries. That's not really a problem at this point, since the only ELF format that FreeBSD 2.2.7 understands is Linux, but FreeBSD-CURRENT recognizes a native FreeBSD ELF format as well, and of course that's the default. If you want to run a Linux ELF binary on Page 16 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition such a system, you must brand the executable using the program brandelf. For example, to brand the StarOffice program swriter3, you would enter: # brandelf -t linux /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/linux-x86/bin/swriter3 Thanks to Dan Busarow for bringing this to my attention. Page 364, middle of page ________________________ Change the text from: The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though they may be in lower case. to The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though newer versions of ppp allow you to write them in lower case. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for this correction. Page 368 ________ Replace the paragraph after the second example with: In FreeBSD version 3.0 and later, specify the options PPP_BSDCOMP and PPP_DEFLATE to enable two kinds of compression. You'll also need to specify the corresponding option in Kernel PPP's configuration file. These options are not available in FreeBSD version 2. Thanks to Brian Somers for this information. Page 397 ________ In the section ``Nicknames'', the example should read: Page 17 Starting the spooler www IN CNAME freebie ftp IN CNAME presto In other words, there should be a space between CNAME and the system name. Page 422 ________ Replace the text above the example with: tcpdump is a program which monitors a network interface and displays selected information which passes through it. It uses the Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf), an optional component of the kernel. It is not included in the GENERIC kernel: see page 257 for information on how to configure it. If you don't configure the Berkeley Packet Filter, you will get a message like tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: device not configured If you forget to create the devices for bpf, you will get a message like: tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: No such file or directory Since tcpdump poses a potential security problem, you must be root in order to run it. The simplest way to run it is without any parameters. This will cause tcpdump to monitor and display all traffic on the first active network interface, normally Ethernet: Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my attention. Page 423 ________ The description at the top of the page incorrectly uses the term IP address instead of Ethernet address. In addition, a page number reference is incorrect. Replace the paragraph with: o Line 1 shows an ARP request: system presto is looking for the Ethernet address of wait. It would appear that wait is currently not responding, since there is no reply. o Line 2 is not an IP message at all. tcpdump shows the Ethernet addresses and the beginning of the packet. We don't consider this kind of request in this Page 18 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition book. o Line 3 is a broadcast ntp message. We looked at ntp on page 160. o Line 4 is another attempt by presto to find the IP address of wait. o Line 5 is a broadcast message from bumble on the rwho port, giving information about its current load averages and how long it has been up. See the man page for rwho on page 1167 for more information. o Line 6 is from a TCP connection between port 6000 on freebie and port 1089 on presto. It is sending 384 bytes (with the sequence numbers 536925467 to 536925851; see page 305), and is acknowledging that the last byte it received from presto had the sequence number 325114346. The window size is 17280. o Line 7 is another ARP request. presto is looking for the Ethernet address of freebie. How can that happen? We've just seen that they have a TCP connection. In fact, ARP information expires after 20 minutes. It's quite possible that all connections between presto and freebie have been dormant for this period, so presto needs to find freebie's IP address again. o Line 8 is the ARP reply from freebie to presto giving its Ethernet address. o Line 9 shows a reply from presto on the connection to freebie that we saw on line 6. It acknowledges the data up to sequence number 536925851, but doesn't send any itself. o Line 10 shows another 448 bytes of data from freebie to presto, and acknowledging the same sequence number from presto as in line 6. Thanks to Sergei S. Laskavy for drawing this to my attention. Page 450: anonymous ftp _______________________ Replace the paragraph starting with Create a user ftp: Create a user ftp, with the anonymous ftp directory as the home directory and the shell /dev/null. Using /dev/null as the shell makes it impossible to log in as user ftp, but does not interfere with the use of anonymous ftp. ftp can be a member of group bin, or you can create a new group ftp by adding the group to /etc/group. See page 138 for more details of adding users, and the man page on page 805 for adding groups. Page 19 Starting the spooler Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for drawing this to my attention. Page 466, before the ps example _______________________________ Add another bullet: o Finally, you may find it convenient to let some other system handle all your mail delivery for you: you just send anything you can't deliver locally to this other host, which sendmail calls a smart host. This is particularly convenient if you send your mail with UUCP. To tell sendmail to use a smart host (in our case, mail.example.net), find the following line in sendmail.cf: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS Change it to: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmail.example.net Page 478, ``Running Apache'' ____________________________ The text describes the location of the server as /usr/local/www/server/httpd. This appears to depend on where you get the port from. Some people report the file being at the more likely location /usr/local/sbin/httpd (though note the directory sbin, not bin). Check both locations if you run into trouble. Thanks to Sue Blake for this information. Page 492 ________ Replace references to nmdb with nmbd. Page 493 ________ Replace the last paragraph on the page with: socket options is hardly mentioned in the documentation, but it's very Page 20 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition important: many Microsoft implementations of TCP/IP are inefficient and establish a new TCP more often than necessary. Select the socket options TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up the response time of such applications by over 95%. Page 1620 _________ The description of /etc/hosts.lpd erroneously refers to the file /etc/ftpusers. This should be /etc/hosts.lpd, of course. Thanks to Anders Andersson for drawing this to my attention.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the second edition (16 December 1997), please check the parallel posting or get the file at ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2. I apply these changes to the current source 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). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- 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.

I got a new hard disk for Christmas, but now everyone is jealous and would like me to help them out by putting the old one in someone else's machine. I'm game, but I'm not sure how to approach transferring my installation of FreeBSD from one hard disk to the next. How is this done? I started out slicing up the drive to get the new setup: Old: 2 gig FAT 16 (Yeah, thems the breaks--can't live with MS, can't live without MS) 1 gig FreeBSD with default partitions 1 gig FAT 32 New: 2 gig FAT 16 1.5 gig FreeBSD with default partitions 4.5 gig FAT 32 Slicing was easy. And once I get FreeBSD done, it shouldn't be a big deal to get Windows over and the boot manager reinstalled. The only catch is FreeBSD, and I don't want to start the FAT transfer until all is well on the FreeBSD front. Any standard procedures or non-standard? I'm pretty familiar with the system, so don't worry if it is a painful process. Just let me in on all of the gory details, and I'll give it a shot. THANX! Please reply directly--I haven't subscribed to the list (although I really would like to, I know I would spend too much time on it, and I do have to keep my focus on the Microsoft side of the fence, since that is where my bread is buttered). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Douglas E.

I made sure that I had compiled support into my kernel for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B, but I don't think the driver is being loaded correctly (either because I set it up wrong or because the 100 is different enough from the 100B). Is there a serious enough difference between the two to expect this, or should I look for other configuration errors? It detects the card as a PCI Ethernet card, but dmesg reports that no driver was assigned to it. Would it be compatible with the EtherExpress Pro/10 (since the network doesn't support 100 yet, this would be ok)? Is there a driver somewhere for the regular EtherExpress Pro/100? Or am I just up a creek? THANX! Please reply directly--I haven't signed up for the list. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Douglas E.

The applications to deal with them run on pretty much all Unix variants, including FreeBSD. They can also all be handled on obsolete systems like CP/M-80, Amiga's, and MS-Windows. As for applications - the answer is "it depends". You have to install the Linux compatability mode software on FreeBSD and try things and see. The Linux distribution of WordPerfect 7 works without problems. WordPerfect 8 has a few quirks. Oracle (the database server) works fine. Ingres doesn't - because the install fails to find the Linux commands for manipulating shared memory. WABI doesn't work, but WINE and Bochs (spelling?) are available for FreeBSD.

Have you also downloaded and applied the kernel patches from Randall Hopper's site? If so, did all the patches apply without error? Could we see your complete kernel configuration file? Do you have any other devices in your configuration that could be causing an IRQ/DRQ conflict? Surely, there's an explanation as to why you're having problems.

Firstly I tried to reply to you directly but the mail bounced with "larry_nilsen@eee.org: unrouteable mail domain "eee.org" I haven't seen any reply to this message yet on -questions so I thought I'd pitch in. Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you, except to say that ``Tun Warning Error ALERT'' suggests that perhaps the tun0 device is not configured correctly. Brian Somers, who maintains the PPP code and usually responds to pleas for help, has been missing from this list for a while now - perhaps he has gone away for Xmas & New Year. I'm sure that when he returns he will be able to solve your problems. BTW, you seem to use a different Subject line when you post about this which prevents keeping track of the problem (IIRC I've replied a couple of times to you - albeit without providing you with a solution :-( ). I've deleted the other threads (probably because I've assumed that you've solved the problem). Can I suggest that you keep the same Subject to aid keeping track of where we're up to. Sorry that I can't be of more help. The only other thing I can suggest is that while you wait for Brian to pitch in and help that you setup PPP again from scratch. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K.

Hidden away on freebsd.org there is a link to a Russian University website (http://iclub.nsu.ru/~semen/ntfs/ntfs.html) which has an NTFS driver for FreeBSD. The latest version (ntfs-releng22-0.9beta.tgz) works for 2.2.x and 3.x. I thought I'd let you know that I've d/l'd and installed this and it works superbly, I can now see my NTFS drive :-), which is useful as I have a habit of d/l stuff or saving Web pages relating to FreeBSD when I'm in NT and forgetting to save them to a FAT partition, so when I boot FreeBSD I can't find them. There are a few points to note about using this driver: You cannot build everything with a single ``make''. There is very minimal documentation with the code, just a README. The code needs to be copied manually to the /usr/src/sys tree There are files for patching malloc.h, mount.h, & vnode.h. This means that you will need to re-build your kernel (no mods are required to the config file). In order to make mount_ntfs the file mntopts.h is required. If you haven't installed all the sources it can be found in the /src/ssbin.* archive an the first CD-ROM. ``make install'' for the lkm and the mount_ntfs binary didn't work properly as it used the ``-c'' option which isn't valid (in the 2.2.8 install anyway, maybe valid with 3.0?) and also doesn't give a dest dir. You'll need to do it manually. You may need to make the device nodes for your NTFS partition. Remember that if it is in a logical drive in an extended partition that the slices for the extended partition start at 5, i.e. [sw]d0s5. The driver, whilst working fine, is somewhat inconsistent in it's use of long and short (8.3) filenames, e.g. ls on my system lists both ``PROGRA~1'' and ``Program Files'' in the (NTFS) root dir. I can ``cd'' to either and the ``pwd'' returns ``/ntfs/Program Files'' in both cases. As best I can work out this appears to only happen when the long name starts with an upper-case letter. At the moment the driver is read-only :-(, but the author, Ustimenko Semen, is planning to develop it to be read/write :-). Don't forget to mount it read-only (use the ``ro'' option in /etc/fstab). If you think you need NTFS access I hope the above is of use to you. I will try and put together a step-by-step FAQ/HowTo over the next few days. Enjoy. -- Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K. It was this thinking that caused the problem in the first place.

After I installed the driver (including the patch) everthing wents fine, even the joystick device unless this doesen't should depend on the new drivers. The reason cause I didn't installed those drivers you mentioned in ur text file was cause they are not mentioned in the Complete FreeBSD book (allthough there is a awe0 device mentioned) Anyway now everything is running smothly.

I guess u dont need my kernel configuration file anymore ;-) BTW - The INSTALL.fbsd file told me to copy first each *.c and *.h file to /usr/src/i386/isa/sound - this didnt worked cause u have to edit the awe_install.h file first bevore copy it to the destination mentioned above ... > > Surely, there's an explanation as to why you're having problems. > Hopefully, we'll be able to find it. > > > -- > Conrad Sabatier > > "I'm a creationist; I refuse to believe that I could have evolved from > man." > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 2 08:22:56 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA00288 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 08:22:56 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from apotheosis.za.org (apotheosis.cs.uct.ac.za [137.158.128.26]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA00281 for ; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 08:22:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from lonewolf@apotheosis.za.org) Message-ID: <19990102182212.A4927@apotheosis.za.org> Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 18:22:12 +0200 From: Lonewolf To: Spidey Cc: freebsd-questions Subject: Re: CD to wave, howto...

Use tosha to grab the raw tracks from the CD and then use sox to convert them into .wav files. From there you can use something like 8hz-mp3 to convert them into mp3's. All three of these can be found in the ports collection :) You might want to look into getting blade-enc (GNU) or l3enc (commercial) tho, as 8hz-mp3 doesn't seem to produce decent quality mp3's. --lonewolf@apotheosis.za.org http://apotheosis.za.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 2 08:32:19 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA00974 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 08:32:19 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from kolasc.net.ru ([195.209.249.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA00967 for ; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 08:32:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from root@kolasc.net.ru) Received: from ns.kolasc.net.ru (ns.kolasc.net.ru [195.209.249.21]) by kolasc.net.ru (8.8.2-MVC-281096/8.8.2) with ESMTP id TAA24787 for ; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 19:29:20 +0300 (MSK) Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 19:29:20 +0300 (MSK) From: "Andrey M.

Even worse: bash-2.02$ cd /usr/ports/audio/8hz-mp3/ bash-2.02$ make ===> 8hz-mp3-0.2b is marked as broken: licensing issues. mpegaudio is also in the ports collection, and includes mpeg_musicin, which will do the job. However, it seems to want to output the entire audio stream to /dev/tty in ascii while doing the conversion (yuck). bladeenc isn't necessarily quieter or faster, but at least it's output isn't as ugly!

Am assuming from your discussion you have both drives up and running under FreeBSD, all the new partitions made, and filesystems created and mounted? Then for each filesystem (don't forget /var, I usually forget) on your old HD do (example for /usr): # dump 0af - /usr | ( cd /new/usr; restore -rf - ) Probably best to do the above in single user mode. Could also use "pax -rw /old /new" but I'm not sure if it honors the special flags (see chflags(1)) set on /kernel and some libraries. Hmm, maybe dump/restore doesn't do those flags either? pax may not do /dev but I'm pretty sure dump/restore does. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

I've been working with the ftp program of FreeBSD for a while and I was very pleased with it. However, there is something i do not understand. If ftp features automatic downloading from the command line, why doesn't it features automatic uploading the same way? I am therefore working on a "upload" program. But being a beginner in C programming, I don't think it will be functionnal soon. Anyways, I think that this should be included in the ftp program, as a command line switch or something. thanks for any comment.

I could > use the help. A host is a computer on the Internet. The first step in port compiling is the fetching of the sources from a host listed in the Makefile. Your computer needs to be able to look up the address of the host it's trying to fetch the sources from so it can connect to that host and proceed with the fetching. "Host name lookup failure" means that your computer was unable to resolve the host name into an address, which most likely is an indication that you don't have working name servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf. (This assumes that you are actually connected to the Internet while you're trying to make the port. If you're not connected, the symptoms will be the same.) The first thing you need to do is determine what your name server addresses should be. If you're connecting to the Internet via a connection to an ISP, you need the name server addresses your ISP provides you with. If you're connecting via a corporate or university LAN, find out from an administrator or someone else who knows what name servers you're supposed to use. Armed with that information, add lines to /etc/resolv.conf like these: nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy are the IP addresses of the name servers you're supposed to use. Then you should be good to go.

For installing FreeBSD, I'd say "The Complete FreeBSD". For DNS, I think it's "DNS and BIND" from O'Reilly is want you want.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have a little program attached below causing SIGSEGV. But the program works out dramatically if the function being called in main() (haha()) changes to hehe(). In my track record, the stack corrupted right after longjmp to j2. But if I change the haha() in main() to hehe(), although the result is as expected, the stack is somewhat corrupted too. Like the following: (gdb) bt #0 haha () at testjmp.c:18 #1 0x804852d in main () at testjmp.c:35 #2 0xefbfd704 in ?? () #3 0x6b6c633d in ?? () Error accessing memory address 0x52455355: Bad address.

The result tested on Linux 2.0.34 is the same; while it works as expected(well, it's just my expectation, perhaps the POSIX definition is not as what I thought. But I can't find any other useful info on man pages either) on Solaris 2.6.

A couple of possibilities: a) It doesn't need to be in a directory on the $PATH; you can explicitly type the path, as in: ./foo b) If it's for your own personal use, I suggest making a ~/bin directory, and adding that to your $PATH. Then you can put any of your personal scripts or programs there, and they won't bother anyone else. c) If the script is useful for all of your users, put it in /usr/local/bin (and make sure that's on your $PATH). Software that install usually should go in /usr/local. d) Only put things in /usr/bin if you have a darned good reason. It's there for stuff maintained by the FreeBSD developers, and should be approximately the same on everyone's FreeBSD system. /usr/local is for stuff that you add. If you read "man hier" you'll get a more thorough discussion of what goes where. If you're new to Unix, and setting up a FreeBSD system for your own personal use, you may not see much difference between (b) and (c) since you're the only user on your machine. But it's a good habit to get into to think about whether your changes are to suit yourself, or (hypothetically) all of your users. That can help you to decide whether to put software and scripts in ~/bin or /usr/local/bin, whether to change configuration files in /etc/foorc or ~/.foorc, and so forth. It's a good habit to get into early, even if it makes little practical difference. Matt -- Matthew Hunt * Stay close to the Vorlon. http://www.pobox.com/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.

For a more detailed description I will quote from the README file: What does Sharity-Light do? =========================== If you know smbfs for Linux: Sharity-Light is roughly the same. It is derived from smbfs, but runs as a user level program, not in the kernel. If you know samba: Sharity-Light is roughly the opposite: a client for the Lanmanager protocol. If you know neither of these: Sharity-Light lets you mount drives exported by Windows (f.Workgroups/95/NT), Lan Manager, OS/2 etc. on Unix machines. For more information, see http://www.obdev.at/Products/ I have used this with windows and samba shared volumes without problems. cheers, Carey Nairn On Sat, 2 Jan 1999, Jean-Michel DRICOT wrote: > Hello, > > Is there a way to mount SAMBA shared drives (from WinNT or WfW machines) > on BSD mountpoints ? > I currently use Samba to share my server mounts but I'd like to find > something like Linux's "smbmount" command to mount shares on my > server... > > Thanks > > Jim > > > ________________________________________________________________________ > To err is human; to really fuck things up requires the root password > > Dricot Jean-Michel > 1ere Annee du grade d'Ingenieur Civil Informaticien > Universite Libre de Bruxelles - Ecole Polytechnique > > URL: http://student.ulb.ac.be/~jdricot > e-mail: jdricot@ulb.ac.be > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 2 17:25:27 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA26613 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 17:25:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from hawk.prod.itd.earthlink.net (hawk.prod.itd.earthlink.net [207.217.120.22]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA26608 for ; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 17:25:22 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from idrachma@earthlink.net) Received: from bosco (sdn-ar-002nyhempP085.dialsprint.net [168.191.55.173]) by hawk.prod.itd.earthlink.net (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id RAA25760 for ; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 17:24:51 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <000701be36b7$fe1bc360$ad37bfa8@bosco> Reply-To: "Ian Drachman" From: "Ian Drachman" To: Subject: Installing FreeBSD 2.2.8 Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 20:25:45 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0004_01BE368E.13D47820" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.1 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BE368E.13D47820 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I've created a boot floppy and go through the hardware configuration = eliminating conflicts.

As an aside from someone not new to Unix, I don't put commands in /usr/local on FreeBSD by hand - because /usr/ports builds into it. Instead, I put them in an install directory on a custom fs, and symlink the commands back to /usr/local/bin. The idea is to have a clean break between programs from the FreeBSD distribution, and everything else. This means that doing OS upgrades doesn't touch anything that isn't part of the distibution, and that you can rebuild all of /usr from the distribution. That was the original point of /usr/local - that it held locally built/maintained software. However, with /usr/ports building to it, it just aanother level of distribution binaries at this point. Personaly, I'd prefer if the ports/packages collection built to /usr/bin, but there's probably a reason for not doing it that way.

I am trying to add procmail as the local mail delivery agent and it is installed and seems to work for the most part. Now I would like to test out replacing the local mda I currently have the following in /etc/sendmail.cf Mlocal, P=/usr/libexec/mail.local, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qrmn9, S=10/30, R=20/40, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=mail -d $u I have tried figuring out what all the flags seem to mean and was wondering if I could just replace /usr/libexec/mail.local with /usr/bin/procmail and leave all the flags the same. Also, when I make the changes to the sendmail.cf file, can I just issue a killall -1 sendmail command or do I need to do something different (if so, what)? Right now I don't have a /etc/.procmail directory or /etc/.procmail file so I am assuming that procmail will just send everything on as usual and then I can create these to set up server wide filtering. Does that sound right?

My teenage years are more than a decade behind me, and I find the illusion to be *much* more productive than anything from MicroSoft. The only problems I have are from people who already "drank the koolaide" (as an ex-Machead coworker put it) sending me documents designed for a world in which nobody runs software from anyone but Bill Gates. I don't need to run spreadsheets (I get to do createve work for a living), so I don't know what the OSS spreadsheet situation is like. I do know that real office software is one of the few things that OSS has problems with - because the OSS authors have little or no need for it. If your work on a computer centers around spreadsheets or short documents, or bank accounts, or short documents - you're better off not running OSS. If you want to run OSS but really need those capabilities, you can use the commercial Linux offerings: Star*Office or Corel's OfficeSuite (or whatever it's called), for example. By the way, the replacement for Excel isn't Emacs/awk/ss, it's psql. It's still one program - and it's still scriptable.

I need help with setting up a LAN. I have a BSD2.2.7 box, an NT Server 4 box and a 486Notebook,running BSD2.2.7. I have SN2000 PCI cards in the two big boxes and an SN2000 ISA in the notebook. I can connect the NT box and the Notebook through DOS but need to network the three. I need to set up addresses correctly. The router gives me hardware addresses on both BSD machinesbut I cannot figure out the needed connection addresses. Netstat on the big BSD box gives "localhostbelatrix.mway localhostbelatrix.mway UH 0 23 lo0 138.142 link#1 UC 0 0" and on " Notebook 127.0.0.2 127.0.0.2 UH 0 0 lo0 138.142/24 link#1 UC 0 0 138.142.0.2 0:40:5:60:e4:4b UHLW 0 56 lp0" The 127.0.0.2 comes from me setting it in /etc/rc.conf, to differenciate from the 127.0.0.1 of Belatrix. The 138.etc addresses come from me attempting to install addresses. I don't get a connection. From the NT box, ftp to Belatrix 127.0.0.1 gets me an anonymous logon, but I am still in the NT box, so it is ftp responding, not Belatrix. Should I open, from the same box,the loopback address 127.0.0.1(Belatrix) or 127.0.0.2(andromed) I get a fully command responsive ftp, after anonymous logon,but cannot get out, of course. (Please read FreeBSD for BSD) Both Belatrix and the NT box have modem dialup PPP access to the Internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated and a pointer to a way to further my knowledge would also be appreciated.

Add the line options "EXT2FS" to your kernel config file and recompile. If you want to create an ext2 filesystem, create it under Linux. the ext2fs support under FreeBSD is mainly for people migrating from Linux to FreeBSD, so they can copy their old data over to a FFS filesystem. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 2 19:35:04 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA06731 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 19:35:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from inet.chip-web.com (c1003518-a.plstn1.sfba.home.com [24.1.82.47]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id TAA06688 for ; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 19:35:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ludwigp@bigfoot.com) Received: (qmail 13742 invoked from network); 3 Jan 1999 03:34:35 -0000 Received: from speedy.chip-web.com (HELO speedy) (172.16.1.1) by inet.chip-web.com with SMTP; 3 Jan 1999 03:34:35 -0000 Message-Id: <4.1.19990102192516.00ab31f0@mail-r> X-Sender: ludwigp2@mail-r X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.1 Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 19:34:31 -0800 To: User RbernardRichard S Bernard , questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Ludwig Pummer Subject: Re: Networking (LAN) problems In-Reply-To: <368EDC4B.E7C69303@ozemail.com.au> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG At 06:56 PM 1/2/99 , User RbernardRichard S Bernard wrote: >Your help would be greatly appreciated.

OK. First of all, the 127.0.0.1/8 subnet is only for loopback addresses. You can't have other machines with IPs of 127.0.0.2 >The 138.etc addresses come from me attempting to install addresses. If you want to set up your own network, and it will eventually connect to the internet, use addresses in the ranges defined by RFC 1597: "Space The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private networks: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 We will refer to the first block as "24-bit block", the second as "20-bit block, and to the third as "16-bit" block.

It's all random, basically. This isn't MacOS, where each file has a type assigned to it. People have historically just used whatever they want. If you are creating a completely new datafile (something that can't be thought of as an extension to another filetype), try and make the first four bytes a "magic number" that's unique to that file, and try and put useful information at constant offsets from the start of the file. See the entries for PNG or GIF for good examples. If you are creating a magic entry for a preexisting type, determine what magic byte sequence (if any) can uniquely identify that type and create an entry for it in /usr/src/usr.bin/file/Magdir. Make your magic file as complete as possible; detect as much as you can. See the entry for the Berkeley DB or gzip files for excellent examples. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 2 19:47:07 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA07649 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 19:47:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from dan.emsphone.com (dan.emsphone.com [199.67.51.101]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA07643 for ; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 19:47:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dan@dan.emsphone.com) Received: (from dan@localhost) by dan.emsphone.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) id VAA47481; Sat, 2 Jan 1999 21:46:33 -0600 (CST) Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 21:46:32 -0600 From: Dan Nelson To: "Andrey M.

Samba makes a Unix box look like an NT fileserver, but won't help you talk to a Netware server. There are a couple of commercial programs that let FreeBSD access a Netware server. Netcon (www.netcon.com) sells a Netware client/server system for FreeBSD, and Novell (www.novell.com) sells an NFS server for Netware that lets any Unix machine mount a Netware volume over NFS. I can personally say that Netware NFS works, and works well.

You can't - asking for "lines" from a binary file tends to produce garbage. Try the strings command on the file, and grep'ing the output instead: strings /etc/pwd.db | grep root is canonical, but may not be what you want.

Please help! The command you are typing does the following, 1) The shell (the command line interpreter) substitutes in all of the files in the present working directory that match the '*.*' pattern. 2) That list of files, begining with 'xv' and ending with '/cdrom/dir,' are passed to the 'tar' command. 3) The 'tar' command interprets the 'xv' as asking it to extract verbosely. 4) Since there is no 'f' option given to the 'tar' command, IT WILL CHECK FOR THE ARCHIVE ON THE DEFAULT DEVICE (/dev/rst0). When it does not find that device it working order, it will probably fail here. However, if it finds it, it would continue... 5) It will interpret all of the following arguments as names of files in the archive to be extracted. This is probably not what you want it to do. There is not an effective way to do 'a lot of *.tar files at once' using the 'tar' command alone. This is due to its history of reading off of a tape. To do many tar archives at once, you will need to use looping structures in your favorite shell. But since you are new to UNIX, I assume you don't have a favorite yet. Here's how you would extract all of the tarballs in the /cdrom/dir/ directory to the present working directory in C Shell (csh) interactively, % foreach tarball ( /cdrom/dir/*.tar ) ? tar xvf $tarball ? end Now, if you have special locations for different tar extracts, your command will become more and more complex. If you have enough, you might want to just do them one at a time. HTH. -- Crist J.
