I wacked the entire extended partition when I did it. .You want to free up wd0s6 which exists inside wd0s2.(?) I am not exactly sure but, what you want to do is prolly not possible. You might be able to do something like this though: 1) copy contents of wd0s2 to either wd0s1 or wd0s3, if you have room. 2) wack wd0s2 3) make a new freebsd slice as big as you want. 4) make the leftovers back into a extended fat partition. (how? I dont know) 5) copy old wd0s2 back to new fat partition. Or... Buy another disk.. Hehe.. Try searching old usenet posts about this. You cant be the first to want to attempt something like this. http://www.dejanews.com Even after duplicating a FreeBSD system from one disk to another, I would have to say I am still not an expert in this area. Maybe someone else has a better option. Like I said before, when you do get this figured, /stand/sysintall is the easiest way to do it.

Initially when I started using FreeBSD I got frustrated at some of the configuration options - they are a little different but not so bad when you get over the first hurdles i.e ppp is very different I went back to RedHat and then back to Slackware I feel that FreeBSD is more stable than Linux certainly if you are going to compile your own ports, and for rebuilding kernels. There is more applications for linux but more and more are becoming availiable for FreeBSD. In general if you want a more stable professional system go FreeBSD, it has many features that are not availiable in linux.

What do you mean with 'why they would not....' Do you mean that filling in things in these fields won't allow people to log in? ?? Que? You give a person a login name ie 'login id', you give the person an unique (to the system) user id 'uid', you assign a group to the user (could be users, if that one is defined in the /etc/groups file) The full name is ... Ahh you guessed it, the persons full name. member groups is any additional groups that the user should be in, and the login shell is the shell the user will be using when logged into the system. And of course this shell has to be defined in /etc/shells file. If you've managed to use these fields the way I described it, it certainly won't be the reason why they're disaloowed login. > 2. How exactly do you eliminate using root as the log in? You create a user for yourself, that is in the group wheel. This will make it possible for you to su to root instead od directly logging in as root. This will also make you get used to not using root for other purposes tha absolutely needed. Don't delete root or rename him/her, but be sure to have a password for root! -- __o regards, Gunnar ---_ \<,_ email: flygt@sr.se ---- (_)/ (_) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 7 5:41:34 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from camel.ethereal.net (fraenatus.ethereal.net [204.107.140.58]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F0F9D14C22 for ; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 05:40:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mistwolf@camel.ethereal.net) Received: (from mistwolf@localhost) by camel.ethereal.net (8.9.1a/8.9.1) id FAA17186 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 05:39:41 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <19990307053941.A17134@ethereal.net> Date: Sun, 7 Mar 1999 05:39:41 -0800 From: Jamie Norwood To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Natd question Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93.2i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I need to know how to do something using NatD, and can't find any good online resources for this. Being strapped cash-wise for a few more weeks, buying the Ora book on firewalls is impossible. What I have is 3 computers, 4 NICs, and a cable modem. I also have 4 IPs, though I think I will only need 3. What I want is for the cable modem to plug into the FreeBSD box's primary NIC, and the in-house subnet of 2 windoze machines plugged into it's secondary NIC. I would like to use NatD to do a one-for-one address translation on the IPs for the windows machine. So, assuming: A: The FreeBSD machine's primary NIC, 10.0.0.56 10.0.0.57 & 10.0.0.58 B: The FreeBSD machine's secondary NIC 192.168.0.1 C: A Windows box, 192.168.0.2 D: A Windows box, 192.168.0.3 Packet comes in to 10.0.0.56, and ends there, that being the FreeBSD machine. Packet comes in to 10.0.0.57, and is translated to 192.168.0.2 and sent to C. Packet comes in to 10.0.0.58, and is translated to 192.168.0.3 and sent to D. C sends packet back through B, where it is translated back to 10.0.0.57, and sent out A. D sends packet back through B, where it is translated back to 10.0.0.58, and sent out A. This would allow me to filter things like Netbios and such so the windows machines could safely fileshare and such, while allowing them full access to the internet, as well as the internet full access to them and the servers they run (A webserver, and the other boots into FreeBSD for FTP.) How could this be done, or where can I look that someone with no money on- hand can go to find out how to do it?

Just to add to my previous note... I tried netscape 4.08 and get exactly the same error. Although, I'm not using the package - I ftp'd the stuff from ftp.netscape.com and ran ns-install (which has always been adequate before...) This is on a clean, freshly-installed 3.1-RELEASE system, straight from the Walnut Creek CDs.

It's not a bug, it happens with any UNIX OS, not just FreeBSD. Normally, if you got disconnected, the process you executed continues running. The best way to avoid it is to configure auto-logoff.

Kita, First off, please don't write to people without also CCing the list. That way, other people can see what's going on and perhaps learn from the experiences of others. And, people make mistakes. If the entire list is seeing the discourse, any errant statements given by a single person are much more likely to be noticed and corrected. That being said, I'm still having a hard time determining the problem. Presumably, you're running as the root user when you're attempting to add these users, right? Hmmm..... well, take a look at some of the other suggestions that people have given. If you're still having problems, it would be helpful for us to know the *exact message* you're seeing when you're attempting to add and/or use these new accounts. Vague descriptions like "doesn't work" don't help us much in trying to determine *why* something isn't working. ct > Chris Tubutis wrote: > > > kita jackson wrote: > > > > > > Hello, > > > I am experiencing difficulty setting up the following: > > > superuser > > > users > > > group... > > > I have gone into the config for users but i cant seem to have any > > > success, what am i doing wrong? > > > > We don't know; why don't you try telling us what you're doing and what > > happens when you do it? > > > > ct To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 7 8:31:10 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from pluto.yesic.com (pluto.yesic.com [207.176.224.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D934514D2C for ; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 08:31:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from soaresm@yesic.com) Received: from yesic..com (tor21-11.yesic.com [216.13.105.171]) by pluto.yesic.com (8.8.8/8.8.6) with SMTP id LAA07383 for ; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 11:32:43 -0500 (EST) Reply-To: "soaresm" From: "soaresm" To: Subject: Date: Sun, 7 Mar 1999 11:20:21 -0600 Message-ID: <01be68be$c7f8d140$ab690dd8@yesic..com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_001F_01BE688C.7D5E6140" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_001F_01BE688C.7D5E6140 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable How do I format the partitions ? ------=_NextPart_000_001F_01BE688C.7D5E6140 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Why would you do this? Why not just use one usr.p0.s0 with size of 4076? Also, you don't state which version of FreeBSD you're using. I'm using 3.1-STABLE Mar 4 1999. This may matter (but probably won't for what we're discussing) because Greg makes changes to vinum in the -STABLE source tree. >now I am stuck, I do not know how to mount this volume, if thats what I >need to do, so that I can transfer my files to their respective >locations. I just did this with my /var and /usr. Make sure that /dev/vinum/usrvol exists. Then: newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/vinum/usrvol mkdir /usr2 mount /dev/vinum/usrvol /usr2 tar -c -C /usr -f - . | tar -xvp -C /usr2 -f - To see if it works: 1. make sure that your vinum drive is listed in your rc.conf under vinum_drives 2. edit your /etc/fstab and add the line for vinum ("/dev/vinum/usrvol /usr2 ufs rw 2 2") 3. reboot. 4. If usr2 came up OK, and you want your vinum usrvol volume to replace your /usr, change your fstab by commenting out your existing /usr line and changing the usrvol mountpoint to /usr. >I have read the man pages vinum(4) and vinum(8) as well as >http://www.lemis.com/vinum.html , but cannot find how to use once >created - I must have missed it somwhere else I am just a thicky. I asked Greg about this a little over a month ago, and he told me I needed to newfs and mount and copy files over... I figured out exactly how to do this on my own. I'm mirroring /usr and /var (seperate /var for mail queue) across 2 IDE drives. The only thing vinum isn't handling is my / partition, which I dd between drives (I originally dd'ed the first drive onto the second drive, so the / partition is exactly the same size on both). --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 7 10:33: 7 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from inet.chip-web.com (c1003518-a.plstn1.sfba.home.com [24.1.82.47]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id A2BCC14D47 for ; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 10:33:05 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ludwigp@bigfoot.com) Received: (qmail 16063 invoked from network); 7 Mar 1999 18:32:47 -0000 Received: from speedy.chip-web.com (HELO speedy) (172.16.1.1) by inet.chip-web.com with SMTP; 7 Mar 1999 18:32:47 -0000 Message-Id: <4.1.19990307103121.00ab3280@mail-r> X-Sender: ludwigp2@mail-r X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.1 Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 10:32:43 -0800 To: "Mark S.

This is just a guess, since I haven't ever used softupdates.

A thought entered my mind today, all the users ever use is Excel, Word, Powerpoint, web, e-mail and the clincal/financal package for nursing homes. We are looking to replace our current package now, and I was wondering if there is any that will work on Unix. If we were able to find one, it would not be too hard of a step to move off of Windows alltoghter. The clincal software is all thats really holding us back. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears.

Boot single user. # mount -u / This will change your read-only filesystem to read-write. You may have to mount the other file-systems manually to enable programs like vi(1).

The current release is 3.1-Release, you may want to use a more recent version. Having said that, have you resolved all the conflicts on startup using the visual configuration screen? In most cases, this *MUST* be done. Do *NOT* remove the sc0 device, since that's your screen console.

I'd guess that the message is misleading and you are being rejected because the server can't resolve your IP address to a name. It's a pretty common restriction these days. > For example, I'm sending to drauman@siscom.net and > xxxx.siscom.net refuses to handle the message. Can sendmail send > "end-to-end" at least that's what I've heard it called. If you know the actual hostname and that host is running sendmail and that host does not have an MX record pointing to a different machine then, yes, you can send end to end. The receiving site knows more about their network than you do though. Use their MX records to have mail processed in what *they* percieve to be the most efficient manner.

I wasn't very clear. There are examples for some things under /usr/share/examples, docs for some things under /usr/share/doc. Some ports also put documentation in /usr/local/share/doc/[portname], /usr/local/doc/[portname], or sometimes /usr/local/share/[portname]. In the case of sendmail, you'd probably be best off looking at the docs on www.sendmail.org, plus a few things under /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/doc.

I mounted the cdrom as normal. Added the line ftp:*:99:99::0:0:FTP:/cdrom:/sbin/nologin per page 5 of the install booklet. Before selecting the media for install I went to options and took out 3.1-RELEASE and changed it to none. Then went to FTP URL and type in 10.0.1.254 and it worked. If you follow the directions per the booklet you shouldn't have to change 3.1-RELEASE to none. Has anyone else had the same problem?

I interpreted it to mean that every client was also slave server. Each client would be bound to itself. If you are not sure that one machine will always be up on each LAN running FreeBSD (which you hinted to as a possibility), this could be a work around. Just make sure that the startup of each client binds properly as do the slave servers. Otherwise, you could get a very complicated web of dependecies among the servers and clients, and with machines coming up and down, that could lead to annoying problems. As long as your NIS maps are not extroardinarily long and your network connections extraodinarily slow, I doubt there would be any noticable performance hits. -- Crist J.

I understand it will be a small install without much in it .....I currently use picobsd quite a bit, the problem with picobsd is it doesn't have lynx...and I dont know how to get and run lynx from a dos partition. I had run dos with a dos linux called monkey linux (a small slackware hack) and had telnet, ftp, lynx, ssh, x and Netscape 3.0. I felt that for the 386 the x and Netscape worked too slowly and took up too much room this room was paid for by not having many libs installed so it was hard to get binaries from outside sources to run...which is why I turned to freebsd...I know I was very happy with picobsd's dialin and all I want is a standard library in a non-x os that will telnet ftp and browse www in lynx after all who could expect much more out of a 386...is there something I'm doing wrong in my install?Is it possible that a 60meg install can't be had via ftp?i've tried 2.2.7 , 2.2.8 , 3.0 sorry for the bother but any help would be appreciated. thanks Chris Chomo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 7 15:48:34 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from Pegasus.cc.ucf.edu (Pegasus.cc.ucf.edu [132.170.240.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8684F14DAE for ; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 15:48:32 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ewayte@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu) Received: from Pegasus.cc.ucf.edu ([132.170.240.30]:53094 "HELO pegasus.cc.ucf.edu" ident: "ewayte") by pegasus.cc.ucf.edu with SMTP id <97156-23915>; Sun, 7 Mar 1999 18:44:44 -0500 Date: Sun, 7 Mar 1999 18:44:42 -0500 (EST) From: Eric Wayte To: Matthew Stover Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Getting a PS2 Intellimouse to work on BSD In-Reply-To: <01be68ef$58b6ccc0$c0c2ded1@veryape.mssm> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Some things you may wish to check: Does the mouse work in any other OSes you have installed?

Make backups. 2. cvsup newest source- (RELENG_3 is the tag) 3. cd /usr/src && make aout-to-elf-buildworld && shutdown now will rebuild entire system to new version. This will take a lot of time, several hours on my PII 300/128M/UW SCSI machine. 4. Once you are in singleuser, cd /usr/src again and make aout-to-elf-installworld. Do not interrupt this process, or it may leave your system unbootable. 5. Install the new elf aware bootblocks- refer to www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot.txt for details. 6. Reboot the machine. You will now be running an elf system, and will have to do certain things like set your ldconfig -aout path and rebuild your ports. I set up all my ports to get rebuilt in sequence, with a simple shell script, which took a while put got everything done.

Because the GENERIC kernel has no support for the PCCARD controller, I've compiled a new one, with the following additional options when compared to GENERIC: options LINT_PCCARD_HACK controller card0 device pcic0 at card? device pcic1 at card? All my hardware has been detected correctly, including the PCCARD controller, with 2 slots, as shown below: #dmesg | tail -3 PC-Card VLSI 82C146 (5 mem & 2 I/O windows) pcic: controller irq 3 Initializing PC-card drivers: ed ep fe sio I tried then to add two different ethernet pccards: a D-link DFE-650TX and a NE2000 compatible. FreeBSD is able to detect when either card is inserted or removed in each slot, however, it doesn't add a corresponding network interface. The output of netstat -in only shows the lp0, tun0 and lo0 interfaces. Is there anything that I must do in order to get the cards recognized ?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. /dev/da1 and so on are cooked disks (block devices), not raw disks. Vinum requires the block device.

Again, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean compatibility slices (/dev/da1 instead of /dev/da1s1)? No, there's no such requirement.

I'm guessing that the problem you have is that you have not quite followed the example in the book, which didn't allocate a /var file system. I suspect that you have done so, and you still have it mounted. You won't be able to umount it until you stop all processes which have files open on the file system, such as syslogd. But that's OK. You can rename it (I personally call it /VAR). Next time you reboot (to multi-user mode), nothing will open it, and you can remove it. BTW, you won't be able to rm the /var directory at any time, simply because it's a directory. You'll have to use rmdir.

There's a chance. Walnut Creek is investigating the possibility of cheaper techniques to print small book runs.

I would have been interested in a man page book, but I bought the second edition instead. It would, however, be useful to have a hard copy of the handbook, FAQ, and some more man pages (like ddb(4)) IMHO. I could just hook up a printer. ;-) Thanks.

It will show only 3partitions: the master boot, the original DOS partition (all 6.8 gigs, "unknown" type, not FAT), and a new, very small partition. The book Complete freeBSD says that there should be 2 DOS partitions, both being FAT. None of my partitions are FAT now. Is it something I am doing wrong? I am installing so that I may retain WIN95 (unfortunately). I have followed the steps in the book to the t, tried and re-tried everything, but to no avail.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was adviced to run CVSup, so I did. A part of this process was reading the (on-line) handbook. Though often clear enough I found it kept schtumm on one seemingly little detail. After describing what to do with the parameters in some supfile and explaining what they do, it jumped straight into '18.3.3.4 Running CVSUp'. With the following optimistic words even: 'You are now ready to try an update.'. Like 'L I am! Where is one supposed to put that [...] supfile? No word is wasted on such a trivial detail. It tells you where to find the example supfile. Great. But not where the final edition is supposed to reside. Aarrgghh. So we go on. First I gave the 'cvsup supfile' as stated, having edited the example source file. Why not? I was deemed ready and if it wasn't supposed to reside in the examples directory then surely it would complain and tell me where it had looked for the file. Right? Wrong. It complained allright. Only with the not so informative message that the supfile could not be found. Fine, have it your way. So I linked it into /usr/local/etc/cvsup, went to /root, and re-tried. Alas. Same uninformative message. Not to be outsmarted by a mere unwilling program I popd back to /usr/local/etc/cvsup and restated my wishes. Succes. Of course, after I forced it I remembered to check the man page. Wouldn't have made any difference since though it talks about /usr/local/etc/cvsup as its 'base' that clearly does not hold for configuration files. Perhaps it would be nice to change: <> from "the name of" to "the full pathname of" ? The next thing is about: "Assuming you are running under X11, cvsup will display a GUI window with some buttons to do the usual things. Press the "go" button, and watch it run." In short, no it won't. I even got up and actually walked to the console which ran X to execute it. So anctious was I to see that promised GUI window come up. Might as well have fired it up in the telnets I was running. Could've saved myself the trip. All 10 paces of it. Then there is: "Having just created your configuration file, and having never used this program before, that might understandably make you nervous.". You have no idea. Actually, telling us the secret location of the config files would help! So we come to: <> Given the 'understandably nervous' quote above, does this mean I made some terrible error? I mean it all looked good, but... there was no promised GUI window to be detected. Not only do I feel cheeted, my anxiety reaches monumental proportions. Warranted due to: <> There's no telling what informative error messages I might've missed. Last, but not least, we get to the topic of ports. Now imagine if you would your average nervous newbie. Having never done this before one reads the handbook with bated breath in the hope of gaining, if not wisdom, at least heightened awareness of the pitfalls involved. Like, oh, say, will it mean downloading and thus storing all sources. I.e. of every available port? As it turned out, it doesn't. Which is nice since I only had a mere GB left on the /usr device. Perhaps it would be an idea to inform the audience of the scope of what one's about to attempt? Next step will be the making of a world. But since there's only so much my nerves can stand I think I'll leave that task to the morrow. Roelof PS this is not intended as negative criticism but as a way to inform the maintainers of the various appreciated tidbits of my experiences when I first tried said tidbits. Something you can only do once.

You have provided very little detail, but unless you are neglecting to mention anything important, all you need to do is put a MX record on the DNS machine(s) and set up the new box to understand it accepts mail for the domain (use a cw-file or something equivalent). Directing mail to the server with the MX record is the easy part. Making sure the server does the right things with the mail it gets is the tricky part.

Also, it should be the raw device: # newfs -v /dev/vinum/rusrvol Without knowing what he wants to use it for, you can't recommend the 8192 byte blocks. > mkdir /usr2 > mount /dev/vinum/usrvol /usr2 > tar -c -C /usr -f - . | tar -xvp -C /usr2 -f - > > To see if it works: > 1. make sure that your vinum drive is listed in your rc.conf under vinum_drives > 2. edit your /etc/fstab and add the line for vinum ("/dev/vinum/usrvol > /usr2 ufs rw 2 2") > 3. reboot. > 4.

Well, I thought this (from vinum(4)) would have been adequate: MAKING FILE SYSTEMS Since vinum volumes do not contain partitions, the names do not need to conform to the standard rules for naming disk partitions. For a physical disk partition, the last letter of the device name specifies the parti- tion identifier (a to h). vinum volumes need not conform to this conven- tion, but if they do not, newfs will complain that it cannot determine the partition. To solve this problem, use the -v flag to newfs.

By the way, I'm wondering about your effort for an O'Reilly edition. Did that go away while I wasn't looking?
