I am a windows user. And, thank you in advance. My plan is to install FreeBSD form s DOS psrtition on an IDE bus. Most of the FreeBSD 3.2 Stable distribution was downloaded from cdrom.com to a nono-primary DOS partiton. In the primary partition(c:), there is only ~90MB free space available. Must all the distribution files go to the primary partiton? Or, the files under "/bin" only need to go there? If files under /bin directory only need to go to the primary partiton, that'll be nice because the size of these files amounts to approx. 24MB. Do I need to reformat the HDD so that all FreeBSD distribution files fit within the primary partition? Also, the first partition (2.5GB) in the extended partition has been NTFS formatted. The next two partitions (2GB and 1.5GB) are both FAT16. I plan to install FreeBSD on the 1.5GB partiton. IDE 0/Master --> ibm 6.4GB ATA/33 HDD Primary partition/100MB/FAT16 Extended partition/2500MB/NTFS Extended partition/2000MB/FAT16 Extended partition/1500MB/FAT16 <-- FreeBSD is to be installed here.

I'm running stable, and have run into the problem of my smtp servers not recognizing localhost. I've switched from sendmail to postfix which offers much easier configuration with the same results. I'm assuming this is not related to the mta but I could be wrong. Fetchmail basically can't deliver my mail to me and tell me this: fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO: fetchmail: SMTP< 550 ... User unknown fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't like recipient address `darxpryte@localhost' I also notice that mail to darxpryte@localhost goes to the net where it bounces because obviously there's nothing out there named localhost. I've made sure I have a line in my hosts file that includes: 127.0.0.1 localhost gabrielle I know that postfix uses "mydestination" to tell my machine what domains to deliver locally. Here's what I have: mydestination = localhost, localhost.u.washington.edu, localhost.yi.org I'm using the hostname gabrielle.yi.org at the moment if that makes any difference. If I've missed anything please tell me. I realize that I've probably done something to cause this since it was working before, but I have no idea what it could have been at this point (the headache isn't helping much). Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.8. Since I have also NT running on the system, I did not to install booteasy nor modify the MBR. For the moment I boot FreeBSD from the install disk, using "wd(1,a) kernel" at the boot prompt. The system configuration is as follows (HP vectra, PII 450 Mhz, 128 Mb RAM): - primary HDD (10Gb) entirely dedicated to NT, on the first controller as master - secondary HDD with 2 partitions (4Gb), first controller, slave: a very small DOS partition(7 Mb), just enough to allow HP power management utility to recognize the drive and put it to sleep when it's not used and the rest (so about 4Gb) dedicated to FreeBSD. I have tried to apply the method in the FAQ to boot via NT loader, but it does not work. Now the question : do I have any other options than the boot floppy to load FreeBSD on a system with Win NT installed ?

I write a technical e-zine that focuses largely on security in computing issues. Over the past two issues I have described how memory protection worked in primitive Operating Systems, like MS-DOS and Multics. I have covered the use of fence registers, bounds registers, segmentation, paging, and paging on top of segmentation. I would like to move on to how memory protection in more advanced and modern Operating Systems works and, amongst others, how FreeBSD Memory Protection works. My CD-ROM Drive is broken, and as a result, I can't get FreeBSD source onto my home PC to analyze it. :( Could you please give me a technical overview of how FreeBSD Memory Protection works? If you're busy, you can delay answering this message for a few weeks, but I would appreciate a reply some time this month if at all possible.

Once you've got that far you will be able to mount the "logical drives" in the extended partition (see below about slice numbering) and then install the rest from the extended partition (option 6 on the "Choose Installation Media" menu). > If files under /bin directory only need to go to the primary partiton, > that'll be nice because the size of these files amounts to approx. 24MB.

So, for your disk, the numbers will be: Primary partition/100MB/FAT16 /dev/wd0s1 Extended partition/2500MB/NTFS /dev/wd0s5 Extended partition/2000MB/FAT16 /dev/wd0s6 Extended partition/1500MB/FAT16 /dev/wd0s7 Note, fdisk will show the extended partition itself as wd0s2 but you won't be able to mount it (IIRC the error is "Incorrect superblock).

Setup: **** <- SDSL ---- firewall[*] | |--- a server | |--- another server | | {"secured" LAN below here} |--- firewall ----------------- | |--- user boxes |--- ..... |--- .....

I don't know about Yahoo, but one technique for static data is to run Squid or similar on multiple machines, with the Squid proxies obtaining the data they cache from a single master machine. I know one host that does this. What I don't know is how they force changes on the master machine to propagate more or less instantly to the caches. -- Graeme Tait - Echidna To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 13 6:13:11 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from sand4.global.net.uk (sand4.global.net.uk [194.126.80.248]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8FA7714C4B for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 06:13:04 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from marko@globalnet.co.uk) Received: from p0es06a06.client.global.net.uk ([195.147.214.15] helo=marder-1.) by sand4.global.net.uk with esmtp (Exim 2.12 #1) id 10tA4K-000553-00; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 14:13:01 +0100 Received: (from marko@localhost) by marder-1.

Not because I can't be bothered helping you, but because this question has been asked so many times that just about every problem you're likely to come across will be covered. As a start, you need ``controller pnp0'' in your kernel config file. If your card doesn't have midi then use Luigi's pcm0 driver, else you'll need to use the Voxware drivers (the sb??? devices) in your kernel config file as well. Check out LINT (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf). Finally you'll need to re-build your kernel. > thank you, > > Regards > Stephen > > ------ > Do you do Linux? :) > Get your FREE @linuxstart.com email address at: http://www.linuxstart.com > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov _______________________________________________________________ Mark Ovens, CNC Apps Engineer, Radan Computational Ltd.

I have an older IBM Aptiva C6E, the kind that uses main memory for video RAM. I don't know if that's a problem or not. SuperProbe sees the video card OK, and I have the specs for the IBM G50 monitor dialed in. When I run startx I get a really shaky display in the middle of the monitor (looks like horizontal freqs are messed up, although I have the right ones in XF86Config). Interestingly enough, if I change the X link to point to the VGA16 server instead of SVGA and do nothing else, I get a decent display. In either case, I get three Xterm windows with frames, although the FreeBSD book says I should get one frameless window in the upper left hand corner. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Seems like I ought to be able to run the SVGA server - SuperProbe suggests it .... any particular things I can do or look for?

You will save now and pay later, and later, and later... Your question then becomes one of which cpu performs least poorly. It all comes down to whether you are bumping into one of the cpu's poor features or not. I am using an application called setiathome that is processing radio telescope collected data on a Celeron 433 running FreeBSD 3.2-stable and on two P-II 400's running NT. The application requires 50% longer to process a work unit (WU) on the Celeron than it does on NT systems. The NT machines have PC-100 memory and the Celeron doesn't and PC-66 memory is 50% slower. If I leave the pretty display on, the NT systems require twice as long to process a WU as the FreeBSD system does. I joke that it can be "pretty" slow. If an application was using data out of cache the Celeron would have the advantage over the P-II. It depends on what you are going to do. The K6 can use PC-100 memory and anything that by design uses the fast memory get's my vote. The old decision tree of choosing any two of Speed, Quality, or Price still applies. The definitions have just changed slightly.

But there is a short answer which will get you started. Look at "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Unix Operating System" (I have the 4.3 book, so I'm guessing at the title a bit). There is a chapter on memory management in my copy which does a good job of covering the fundamentals. Basically, when an address is used the memory management hardware (on the processor) checks that the page is loaded into the page table. If not, a page fault is generated. FreeBSD traps it, loads the page into memory (overwriting one of the older pages), and updates the TLB. The instruction causing the fault is re-executed (or restarted, in the case of a string instruction which can generate multiple faults during execution). This is pretty vanilla demand-paging. However, BSD has an unusual "clock" algorithm which cheaply estimates the least recently used page. (I said estimates, since it samples memory usage, and can miss things). PS: you can always install FreeBSD over the net, or copy the distribution to an msdos partition :-) Jon Doran To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 13 12:28:41 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from sand2.global.net.uk (sand2.global.net.uk [194.126.80.50]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5B26214EDB for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 12:28:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from marko@globalnet.co.uk) Received: from p05s09a06.client.global.net.uk ([195.147.217.6] helo=marder-1.) by sand2.global.net.uk with esmtp (Exim 2.05 #1) id 10tFvN-0001m8-00; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 20:28:12 +0100 Received: (from marko@localhost) by marder-1.

Not that we know of, but it's damn hard to say anything without more information. For instance, if you su'ed to root and typed: # chmod u+s /bin/cat then your statement ("there is a way to read any file on a freebsd system as a normal non-root user") would be true of that particular machine.

For starting up no problem, I can create a file abc.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. But what about shutting down the daemon? It cannot be simply killed by -15 or -9. Some custom action must be taken place before the daemon got killed. Is there any way to achieve this? I tried to put in some instructions in /etc/rc.shutdown, but it seems that this script (rc.shutdown) didn't get called at all if I use reboot/shutdown -r now/shutdown -h now/halt to stop the system. However, if I press Ctl-Alt-Del this script did get called. I am using Release 3.2 on Intel platform, if this matters. ------_=_NextPart_000_01BEB5FD.A55BEDF2 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Gong Wei.vcf" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Gong Wei.vcf" BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Wei;Gong;;; FN:Gong Wei ORG:National University of Singapore; TITLE:Analyst Programmer TEL;WORK;VOICE:+65 8746421 TEL;PAGER;VOICE:+65 94963742 TEL;WORK;FAX:+65 7780198 ADR;WORK;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:;;Computer Centre=0D=0ANational University of Singapore=0D=0A2 Engineering D= rive 4;Singapore;;117584;Singapore LABEL;WORK;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Computer Centre=0D=0ANational University of Singapore=0D=0A2 Engineering Dri= ve 4=0D=0ASingapore, 117584=0D=0ASingapore EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:ccegongw@nus.edu.sg REV:19990518T103531Z END:VCARD ------_=_NextPart_000_01BEB5FD.A55BEDF2-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 13 17:47: 8 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail-gw2.pacbell.net (mail-gw2.pacbell.net [206.13.28.53]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8A7EB150F7 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 17:47:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from brian_zhou@usa.net) Received: from bzhou (adsl-216-103-210-15.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net [216.103.210.15]) by mail-gw2.pacbell.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id RAA24687 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 17:47:06 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <001501beb5ff$6f2c1340$0200000a@pacbell.net> From: "Brian Zhou" To: "FreeBSD Questions" References: <199906090008.UAA00617@cc942873-a.ewndsr1.nj.home.com> Subject: ipfilter and active ftp Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 17:47:08 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2314.1300 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello list, In Linux there is a ip_masq_ftp module which supports active mode ftp.

Based on what DOS has done for (or is it "to"?) me, the DOS 5.0 FDISK.EXE does as you say, but in DOS 6.2 it wouldn't let me create more than one primary. DOS 5.0 would let me create 4 primaries, but if I wanted 5 partitions then the 4th had to be primary partition dedicated to being split up into extended partitions. But as Mark said, leave the tail end of the disk unpartitioned with no extended partitions on the disk. Then FreeBSD will happily claim some or all of the unused space and mark it as a primary partition. Then if you left any space beyond that you can make an extended partition out of it with DOS. While DOS 6.2 wouldn't let me create more than one primary partition it was happy to work with a disk that already had them. -- 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.

Take a look at some of the scripts already there. You'll see that most of them accept the paramemeters "start" and "stop". That is, on startup your script will get called like this: sh# abc.sh start And on shutdown, your script will get called like this: sh# abc.sh stop So, your script catches the "start" or "stop" and acts accordingly.

FreeBSD has to reside somewhere on the first drive in order for you to be able to use the NT loader. My test box currently has NT4/NT5/DOS/FreeBSD 3.1 all driven from the NT loader. I have a small DOS partition on the first drive, the remainder being given over to FreeBSD. NT4/5 resides on my second drive. The problem is/seems that the NT boot loader will only boot non-M$ o/ses from the first drive on a multi-disk system. The details detailed in the handbook are correct if you use a disk layout similar to that which I describe above. HTH. Clem -----Original Message----- From: as.hombert Sent: 13 June 1999 09:00 To: Questions Cc: as.hombert Subject: Booting FreeBSD with Win NT A real newbie question ... I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.8. Since I have also NT running on the system, I did not to install booteasy nor modify the MBR. For the moment I boot FreeBSD from the install disk, using "wd(1,a) kernel" at the boot prompt. The system configuration is as follows (HP vectra, PII 450 Mhz, 128 Mb RAM): - primary HDD (10Gb) entirely dedicated to NT, on the first controller as master - secondary HDD with 2 partitions (4Gb), first controller, slave: a very small DOS partition(7 Mb), just enough to allow HP power management utility to recognize the drive and put it to sleep when it's not used and the rest (so about 4Gb) dedicated to FreeBSD. I have tried to apply the method in the FAQ to boot via NT loader, but it does not work. Now the question : do I have any other options than the boot floppy to load FreeBSD on a system with Win NT installed ?

I went to check the newsgroup archive and finally found a fast and simple solution : a little program called bootpart (freeware), available at http://www.winimage.com. You launch it, it scans your disks and then from the command prompt you enter the appropriate parameters and it modifies the boot.ini for you... Voila ...

This is academic, since raw disk devices are created with owner root, group operator and mode 640. You'd have to *make* the device nodes world-readable (or add everybody to group operator) for this to work. There is no known way for a normal user to read a file to which he or she does not normally have access without first gaining root privileges - either by somehow obtaining the root password or physical access to the console, or by exploiting a misconfiguration or a security hole in third-party software.

If you installed from 3.1-RELEASE CDs, you need to update your ports collection, via cvsup, to include a small patch that will probably "unbreak" your ports. I think ;). Adam.

Probably I didn't phase my question correctly. Here let me try again. I am looking for a customizable script that init will call upon shutting down and/or rebooting, *BEFORE* sending TERM signal to running processes. In SysV world(Sorry for this as all along I was using SysV variant like Linux/Solaris) there is something called runlevel. So rebooting is actually going to run level 6 whereas shutting down (halt) is going to runlevel 0. This process will call all K* scripts in the corresponding directory with a "stop" argument. Then it will send TERM signal (15) to all running process. Someone suggested me to change the script to accept one possible argument "start" and/or "stop" and react accordingly. That is really not an issue at all, the issue is whether the script will ever be called with a "stop" argument or not. I know that on 3.2-RELEASE, all /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh will always be called with a "start" argument upon startup, but what about shutting down/reboot? Someone also suggested to modify the daemon source code to install a signal handler which is really overkill in this case. In fact what I want to do is faily simple: ================================================== case "$1" in start) mv /etc/somefilea /etc/somefileb somedir/smbd -D somedir/nmbd -D ;; stop) mv /etc/somefileb /etc/somefileb kill `cat anotherdir/nmbd.pid` kill `cat anotherdir/smbd.pid` ;; *) echo "Usage: xxxxx" exit 1 esac ================================ I hope I expressed myself clearly this time :-) -----Original Message----- From: Gong Wei [mailto:ccegongw@nus.edu.sg] Sent: Monday, June 14, 1999 8:35 AM To: 'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org' Cc: 'freebsd-stable@freebsd.org' Subject: *BSD init scripts Hi, I have a special requirement for starting and shutting down a particular daemon. For starting up no problem, I can create a file abc.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. But what about shutting down the daemon? It cannot be simply killed by -15 or -9. Some custom action must be taken place before the daemon got killed. Is there any way to achieve this? I tried to put in some instructions in /etc/rc.shutdown, but it seems that this script (rc.shutdown) didn't get called at all if I use reboot/shutdown -r now/shutdown -h now/halt to stop the system. However, if I press Ctl-Alt-Del this script did get called. I am using Release 3.2 on Intel platform, if this matters.

I've been succesfully burning CD-R's using wormcontrol & dd; if anybody is interested in the details, please let me know. The following are just a few minor things I'd like cleared out... As for extracting audio, I've used both cdd and dagrab. The former extracts DA at about 3.0 speed, the latter at 5.1 speed. Unfortunately, dagrab produces WAV-files, so to copy audio tracks, I have to use sox to convert these back to CDA-format (which sox calls CDR). This conversion step takes quite a lot of time (a 75 min. audio CD is read in 15 min., written in 18 min., while conversion takes about 25 min. on my P150 w/ 32MB), so I was wondering if it would be possible to include support for CDA in dagrab (it can't be harder than producing WAV's, or can it?). Or maybe someone has a clue as to why cdd is that slow compared to dagrab (with which I use the -n 200 switch; no jitter correction reported). By the way, disabling jitter correction on cdd not always produces the same results as with jitter correction turned on (although the differences are minimal (usually only the first track) and it extracts at a blazing 1200 K/sec). By another way, the CDR's produced by dagrab > sox are different from those obtained using cdd (with JC). Also, is there a way to get rid of the 2 sec. delay times introduced (by wormcontrol nextwriteable?) while burning audio a track at a time? Maybe there's an ATAPI equivalent to cdrdao..? Any hints/suggestions are vastly appreciated. g.

After you reinstall 2.2.8-S, tell us if you are still seeing problems with ccd. (however, if you do find a bug in 2.2.x, it's very unlikely that it will be solved quickly - 3.x is the presently supported branch) TfH PS : what do you miss in a 3.x box ?

If you want to submit a send-pr to update the docs to be more complete, be my guest. Or, preferably, someone with access to a range of hardware could determine how general the described solution really is (in the FBSD way of doing things this should happen before it goes into the general docs). For one thing, the way I described doing things depends on using a version of FBSD with the "new" 3-stage boot system. And that was my reason for pointing out that your statement was, ummm...., "incomplete in its scope" (see below).

This can be a boot loader (and, in the NT way of doing things, _should_ be a boot loader), and whether or not a non-Microsoft OS can be booted on a drive other than the first depends on the capability of that boot loader. By the way, the new 3-stage boot is _much_ more flexible in doing this sort of thing (which is part of the reason it was written). The 2.2.x boot loader can be coerced into working, but you have to patch the boot loader assembler source and recompile it. Not at all a general solution to be presented in the general documentation or on this list.

Unless you are root or has somehow gotten the root password. Or you may steal the hard drive and examine it elsewhere. BTW, I know Windows-NT has a feature that does not allow the Administrator (known as root in Unix) to access the file of a normal user. I wonder if this feature can be added to FreeBSD easily. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 14 8:23:22 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mel.alcatel.fr (mel.alcatel.fr [212.208.74.132]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 54A401536C for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 08:23:16 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Thierry.Herbelot@alcatel.fr) Received: from aifhs2.alcatel.fr (mailhub.alcatel.fr [155.132.180.80]) by mel.alcatel.fr (ALCANET/SMTP) with ESMTP id QAA01474; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 16:20:20 +0200 Received: from lune.telspace.alcatel.fr (lune.telspace.alcatel.fr [155.132.144.65]) by aifhs2.alcatel.fr (ALCANET/SMTP2) with ESMTP id RAA07517; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 17:17:35 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from telss1 (telss1.telspace.alcatel.fr [155.132.51.4]) by lune.telspace.alcatel.fr (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id QAA12520; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 16:56:26 +0200 (MEST) Received: from telspace.alcatel.fr by telss1 (8.8.8+Sun/SMI-SVR4) id RAA10474; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 17:01:13 +0200 (MET DST) Message-ID: <37651A8B.A5DFF27C@telspace.alcatel.fr> Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 17:06:51 +0200 From: Thierry Herbelot Reply-To: thierry.herbelot@alcatel.fr Organization: Alcatel CIT Nanterre X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (X11; I; SunOS 5.5.1 sun4m) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Marie-Josee Blais Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Problem adding SCSI support to kernel References: <199906111817.OAA05225@norton.miranda.com> <199906141431.KAA03159@norton.miranda.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Marie-Josee Blais wrote: > > Hello, > > Well, I added support for the sdo driver, didn't work.

I wasn't planning to start a flame war - that's totally unproductive and certainly not my intention. Apologies if I gave that impression. Having researched what was available (including the assembler patch etc.), it didn't seem worthwhile to fully discuss the NT boot loader's capabilities - with hindsight, that may have been more useful in qualifying my statements. As a FreeBSD newbie, I based my comments on what I understood and what I could actually get working, using 3.1. Your post mentions 3.2, hence my suggestion for clarity. If you're comfortable with FreeBSD, then the bits in your mail are indeed sufficient. However, for us newbies, sometimes spelling things out helps enormously.

If you want to submit a send-pr to update the docs to be more complete, be my guest. Or, preferably, someone with access to a range of hardware could determine how general the described solution really is (in the FBSD way of doing things this should happen before it goes into the general docs). For one thing, the way I described doing things depends on using a version of FBSD with the "new" 3-stage boot system. And that was my reason for pointing out that your statement was, ummm...., "incomplete in its scope" (see below).

This can be a boot loader (and, in the NT way of doing things, _should_ be a boot loader), and whether or not a non-Microsoft OS can be booted on a drive other than the first depends on the capability of that boot loader. By the way, the new 3-stage boot is _much_ more flexible in doing this sort of thing (which is part of the reason it was written). The 2.2.x boot loader can be coerced into working, but you have to patch the boot loader assembler source and recompile it. Not at all a general solution to be presented in the general documentation or on this list.

Sounds like you have a version mismatch between /boot/loader and /kernel. Earlier 3.x /boot/loader versions can't boot later kernels, even if both are ELF. If you cvsupped the kernel source, then cvsup again and get the /boot stuff source, then remake the /boot files and a new kernel. It _might_ work to just copy in a later version of /boot/loader, but no promises.

Yes, it lists all my partitions, then I just entered the partition ID of FreeBSD and I was done (bootpart 11 bootsect.bsd FreeBSD). The only thing you have to watch for is that bootpart creates the bootfile in the directory it resides in. Since I had it in c:\temp, it created the file in c:\temp, so I had to afterwards move the file and edit boot.ini to make sure it was not going to be wiped out by a zelous cleaning of the temp dir ... If you have any more question, feel free to ask. I will drop a message to the author of bootpart to explain him about FreeBSD ;-) I figured out if it worked with Linux, it had to work with FreeBSD ...

This must be the reason it can boot OSs on the second disk. BOOTSECT.BSD (or whatever you call it) is a copy of the boot sector of the FreeBSD partition and as such contains no info about the *disk* it is on, therefore the NT loader looks for it on the first disk (and fails when it doesn't find it. > Since I had it in c:\temp, it created the file in c:\temp, so > I had to afterwards move the file and edit boot.ini to make sure it was not > going to be wiped out by a zelous cleaning of the temp dir ... > > If you have any more question, feel free to ask. > > I will drop a message to the author of bootpart to explain him about FreeBSD > ;-) I figured out if it worked with Linux, it had to work with FreeBSD ... > > Anne > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov _______________________________________________________________ Mark Ovens, CNC Apps Engineer, Radan Computational Ltd.

Under 2.2.x BOOTSECT.BSD was simply the FreeBSD boot sector, created with dd(1), and hence not executable. NT's boot loader was simply looking for the partition described in BOOTSECT.BSD on the first disk. Your solution should work with 3.1 yes? When I added a 2nd HD I created a small partition on the first HD to allow me to use the NT loader, seems I didn't have to. > c:\boot.ini is: > > C:\="MS-DOS" > multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" > multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos > c:\bootsect.bsd="FreeBSD" > > /boot/loader.rc is: > > set root_disk_unit=0 > autoboot 10 > > Clem.Dye@wdr.com writes: > > It does work, but you'll have to re-jig your configuration.

I installed 3.1 and then almost immediately upgraded to -STABLE with a "make world". In any case, I would suggest people go to 3.2R or a -STABLE snapshot, not 3.1. The key point is that this solution is totally dependent on the "new" 3-stage boot loader. In any case, when working with this range of versions, be sure to keep /boot/loader and /kernel version-consistent or you may get into a situation where your shiny new kernel can't be booted by your dingy old /boot/loader. > > c:\boot.ini is: > > > > C:\="MS-DOS" > > multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" > > multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos > > c:\bootsect.bsd="FreeBSD" > > > > /boot/loader.rc is: > > > > set root_disk_unit=0 > > autoboot 10 > > This may have to be: set root_disk_unit=1 autoboot 10 for an all ide system. My configuration is DOS/NT on IDE disk (two primary fdisk partitions), FBSD on a SCSI second (and third and fourth) disk.

The way I remember administrator priviledges with NT is that you can't keep me from accessing a file. I just have to take ownership of the user's directories and then change the ownership of the file I want to look at. When I get through, I would have to change the ownership of everything I changed back to the user. I also think this would leave many tracks behind, which isn't a quiet way like su'ing to the user from root. As a backup operator, I think I could backup your files and restore them on a different system. Then you wouldn't know I have accessed your files. I've never backed up a user's files on one system and restored them to another system but I have never seen anything that would prevent me from doing that. I may have to add the user to that system but then I would know the password and it would be trivial. The problem with PGP is that by the time you have a pretty good key it will be easy to forget and then you have lost access to your file.

I probably have a manual that goes with the 3c503 I pulled out of a system but I haven't used one of these cards for years. Usually 3Com has online manuals but they don't for the Elink II cards, which they consider to be really obsolete.

Or is > it something else I'm doing wrong? If the I/O address is set correctly, the card will be "detected" and "all will go well at boot" -- regardless of whether the IRQ is set properly. I've had probe messages indicate the card was detected, but still had to correct the IRQ before the timeout messages would go away. Also, I get timeout messages if I don't have a cable connected to the card. Hope this helps...

I have two user names with administrator priviledges. I created a directory as administrator. When I wanted to change ownership of the directory logged in as the second user, I was presented with both names in the administrator group as choices. I don't know what the interaction with real user files would be. I don't have any on my development server. It had been a long time since I had to change ownership. The usual time is when I want to do a clean install without a disk wipe. I had a directory \wints4b2 that I wanted to remove and there were all of these files that were owned by the other system. You could change ownership and rights and then you could delete the directory. It was slow and a pain but it worked.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings, I have had this error before but I was always able to find the problem (or blame the service provider). I have a cable modem, FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE, and I am running NATD for my home network just fine. I set up a 3.2-RELEASE box for a friend with a cable modem (same provider) and when I bring the FreeBSD box online I get the dreaded "natd: failed to write packed back" error. I know the NIC is good because I used it to communicate on my network before connecting to my friends cable modem. I know the cable between the NIC and the cable modem is good because it is the same one my friend was using to connect his Win95 box to the cable modem. I know the cable modem is good because when we connect the Win95 box back to the modem the service works just fine. I configured this machine exactally the same way as I have mine. IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT are in the custom kernel, gateway_enable="YES", NATD interface set correctly, the whole 9 yards. My friend and I are actually on the same leg for our service and only 7 IP addresses away from each other. We use the same defaultrouter and netmask. I don't understand what could be causing the FreeBSD box to not work. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

The responses to people's questions were usually along the lines of "Try 3.1-RELEASE, it should be fixed there". I've just installed 3.2-RELEASE on a Dual Xeon-450 ASUS board, and am seeing the same problem. I've tried using an aout version of /sbin/init, as was suggested by someone on the old thread, but that didn't solve anything. Is there a definate answer about this ? My boss says that when he last tried FreeBSD on this box, it was very unstable, and he corelates the wacky top behaviour with this instability. Hence, as long as top acts wacky, I can't move this box into production. I'm trying to find out if this is merely a presentation/lookup problem or if the CPU cycles really aren't being sliced up properly between processors. If anyone has more information, I'd really appreciate hearing it. Alternatively, if anyone who knows the SMP code wants to hack around on a box that exhibits this problem, I'd be glad to give you access. TIA. -- j.

(This was done almost a week ago). I have virtual hosts aliased to my NIC, and they all have reverse and forward domains assigned to those aliased IPs. Here is the situation, when I try to start a process/eggdrop using one of the aliased host names (vhost), eggdrop trys attempting to connect to one of my previous IP addresses. Here is a short report from netstat taken after starting the eggdrop process: Active Internet connections Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0 0 209.157.120.94.2980 irc.Prison.NET.6667 SYN_SENT tcp 0 0 209.157.120.94.2979 209.249.172.252..7531 SYN_SENT The first line looks normal, but the second is odd. Normal in the sense that it sends a SYN but still hasnt established a connection. The foreign address for the second line is one of my OLD IP address. If you look at the ports they are using, it looks as if it trys to contact my OLD ip address first and then sends a SYN to the IRC server itself afterwards. Can anyone explain this? Am I just seeing a cached version of DNS somewhere? Something conflicting with something? BTW, I have searched through the eggdrop.config file for any referennces to 209.249.172.252... nothing. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Thanks. PS: This is not the only bot, this is happening for all our customer bots/bx clients or anything that uses vhosting perhaps?

X-Mailer: VM 6.72 under Emacs 20.3.1 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a friend who, for various reasons, wishes to telnet to a BSD-compliant Unix box (my newly updated FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE system). I have a DSL line, and he's a very low bandwidth user, so I'm all for this. His main problem is that the firewall where he works doesn't permit access to port 23 (the normal telnet port), but does permit traffic to port 8080. Under 2.2.1-RELEASE, though (yes, it had been a long time since my last upgrade), all he had to do was call me up, I'd su to root and run /usr/libexec/telnetd -debug 8080 and then he'd telnet to my machine, port 8080, and be on. Even better, it turned out that only one login was permitted at the port, so it was a fairly nice on-demand moderately secure way of getting him in. Unfortunately, this no longer seems to work. What happens is that when I set up the telnetd, this happens at the login: $ telnet localhost 8080 FreeBSD/i386 (unka.dunka.doo) (ttypi) login: -h option: Operation not permitted Connection closed by foreign host. $ _ What -h option? Is it login's, or telnetd's? Is that "login:" the prompt, or part of the error message? Well, telnetd has an -h option. It says -h Disable the printing of host-specific information before login has been completed. Which seems like it would omit the "FreeBSD/i386..." line. So we try it: /usr/libexec/telnetd -h -debug 8080 And then: $ telnet localhost 8080 login: Connection closed by foreign host. $ _ Well, that seems about right. Perhaps it's the -h option in login(1): -h The -h option specifies the host from which the connection was received. It is used by various daemons such as telnetd(8). This option may only be used by the super-user. I didn't specify that, obviously, and assume that telnetd supplied it. So how do I get telnetd *not* to supply that? With, presumably, the -p option to telnetd: -p loginprog Specify an alternate login(1) command to run to complete the login. The alternate command must understand the same command arguments as the standard login. So let's try that: /usr/libexec/telnetd -p /usr/bin/login -debug 8080 And here's what we get: $ telnet localhost 8080 FreeBSD/i386 (unka.dunka.doo) (ttypi) login: -h option: Operation not permitted Connection closed by foreign host. $ _ Same thing, in other words. On the off-chance that this was being caused by /etc/login.access, I renamed the login.access file (which I wasn't using yet), to no avail. So how *do* I permit a telnet login to occur at port 8080? ---Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 14 15:38:32 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from implode.root.com (root.com [209.102.106.178]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 71DE314C92 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 15:38:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from root@implode.root.com) Received: from implode.root.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by implode.root.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA29148; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 15:36:38 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199906142236.PAA29148@implode.root.com> To: Khetan Gajjar Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ftp.cdrom.com using soft-updates?

Sio2 is at port 0x3e8 on IRQ 10. So I modified the line in the kernel configuration file to say this: device sio2 at isa? port 0x3e8 tty irq 10 I think the "at isa?" has something to do with it. What is the question mark for? If I have specified an actual port should I remove the question mark? It just says sio2 cannot be found. But other than that the kernel works great, its fast, and half as big :) Also, to continue the prompt saga... Does anyone know how to make it so super users in csh have a "#" whereas regular users have a "%" (or $ or whatever csh uses by default)? My current method of setting the prompt is as follows for csh: set prompt = "`pwd`# " alias cd 'cd \!*; set prompt="`pwd`# "' It prints # for users and superusers. Any way to make it change?

But the strangest thing is that I may be seeing this on 3.2-RELEASE. Can't say what the problem is yet. You didn't mention it, but is anything logged in /var/log/messages? In my case, the system has rebooted twice without logging a thing. This machine has been running FreeBSD 24x7 since 2.0.5 (sometime in 1996), except for those occasions when I've taken it down to move it or add hardware. I'm still gathering data. When you see an unlogged reboot (looks like someone hit the reset switch), one should think hardware problem. Too much heat, too little power, a flakey motherboard...

Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:17:07 -0400 From: "Brian J. McGovern" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Ok. I'm feeling a bit stupid now, but I think I found some vinum bugs that are helping. I'm working with 3.2 for reference. I have two large (18GB) SCSI disks on seperate controllers, so I figured I'd try mirroring ~8GB with Vinum for our CVS repository. I thought that this way, if I lost either disk, I'd still have a copy of the truely critical stuff online. I've read the vinum docs online, as well as in the 3rd edition of the Complete FreeBSD. Heck, I even went to Greg's talk at Usenix. I think I'm just losing my mind. What I'm trying to do is use the following configuration file: drive d1 device /dev/da0s1e drive d2 device /dev/da1s1f volume cvs plex org concat sd length 8192m drive d1 plex org concat sd length 8192m drive d2 Now, I'm baffled right at the first line. The various documentation I've read seems to interchange the term "partition" and "slice" pretty freely. Therefore, I'm a little confused as to whether I can use a Unix parition (part of the disk label) as in my sample above, or whether I need a seperate slice (partition in DOS parlance) to use vinum. When I run the commands from hand, it seems to give me an error on the first try (incorrect partition type), but goes through without error the second and subsequent times (I expect a bug here). In any event, the documentation I read show it using devices like /dev/da3h, which should be a parition (disklabel) for a dedicated disk... Once I've done these two steps, I do an "ld" in vimum, and it shows the disks as being "down", and 0 of 0MB. Even if I run through the entire config, which it accepts, it still shows the drives initially in their down state. Anyhow, if someone could give me the dinky pointer I need to get started on this, I'd greately appreciate it. -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 14 18:23:28 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from digger1.defence.gov.au (digger1.defence.gov.au [203.5.217.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 439791537F for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 18:23:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from pinaki.ray@dsto.defence.gov.au) Received: from dsto-ms2.dsto.defence.gov.au (dsto-ms2.defence.gov.au [131.185.2.150]) by digger1.defence.gov.au (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA28871 for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 10:50:23 +0930 (CST) Received: from exchsa1.dsto.defence.gov.au (unverified [131.185.2.94]) by dsto-ms2.dsto.defence.gov.au (Integralis SMTPRS 2.0.15) with ESMTP id for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 10:52:35 +0930 Received: by exchsa1.dsto.defence.gov.au with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) id ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 10:53:02 +0930 Message-Id: From: "Ray, Pinaki" To: "'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org'" Subject: Formatting Harddrive for Installation Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 10:52:59 +0930 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I want to install FreeBSD on my harddrive using the CD-ROM (Walnut Creek) FreeBSD 3.0 Snapshot in my possession. At present my harddrive has been partitioned in several logical drives and I have installed the following OSs: DOS 6.2 on the first 1GB (FAT16) partition, NT4.0 (Build1381, Service Pack 5) on the second partition 4.2GB (NTFS), and I have left free 4 GB of space for FreeBSD. I want to know how do I format this space (4 GB) for installing FreeBSD on it. Reading through all the files and the Handbook I find that FreeBSD can be installed 'from a MS-DOS partition' (but nothing more). What does that mean - can FreeBSD be installed on FAT16 or FAT32 or NTFS formats for that matter ? Or does FreeBSD has its own formatting tools ? -- In that case will FreeBSD be able to see all of 4 GB (or more if given) as a single partition ? Nothing explicitly is stated in the literature I could get hold on. Please advise me in details how to proceed. Also how shall I edit the NT loader 'boot.ini' so that I am able to choose from DOS, NT or FreeBSD on booting. Thank you.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am currently working with a situation in which I have a netware server that mostly just acts as a file server and a print server. It has several Windows 95 PC's connected to it that use it this way. We want to add intranet and email services to it, but there is no cheap way to do this with Netware. I have been considering the idea of completely getting rid of the Netware server and installing a FreeBSD server with Samba in it's place. Will Samba allow me to map FreeBSD file systems to DOS drives? In other words, will my applications on the Windows PC's be able to access files seemlessly on the FreeBSD server just like they do now under Netware? Basically, I need the server to do the same thing it is doing now, but with the addition of intranet and email services. Is Samba and FreeBSD is viable solution? Thanks, Mike.

Also, I get > timeout messages if I don't have a cable connected to the card. I really don't know anything about hardware. If I compile the kerne to use the device on a free IRQ that isn't used by anything else, is that all I need to do in the way of setting the IRQ? Or is there something on the card that needs to be configured to use a certain IRQ? I double checked earlier to make sure nothing else compiled into my kernel was using that IRQ, and I booted into visual configuration and no conflicts were reported. Somone told me it wants IRQ5, so I compiled using that IRQ and still got the message. Somone else said something about going into BIOS settings and making the IRQ ISA useable. IRQ 5 was listed as "Used by ISA card". Also I have the cables plugged in, and both the hub and the card itself report a carrier on the line, and I even see the "data transmit" LED light up sometimes (for example while I was recompiling one of the kernels). I appreciate the help, but I'm at a loss as to what to do. _The Complete FreeBSD_ dosn't have much about hardware in it.

I added 4 more drives on ncr0 (a symbios controller). I recompiled the kernel for ncr0 as well as da1..4. When I start up what used to be da0 is now da4. In the boot string I must type 0:da(4,a)kernel or the kernel can't mount root (i thought adding "root on da4" in the kernel fixes that). Even when I do startup, the fstab doesn't match the new hardware setup. What determines the disk number upon startup? How can I fix this? Should I just edit my fstab and set up a new default boot string, even though that seems silly? john. please cc me.

Put these files in some directory, say ~me/xxx. Now cd to the directory where you want to put the sources, lets say /usr/src. Make sure that this directory is completely empty. cd /usr/src ctm ~me/xxx/src-* The computer will decode all of the ctm files, and put them into /usr/src. You are ready to start making the world (which is very well described by a link that you will find in the FreeBSD handbook). Notice that in /usr/src, you will see a file called .ctm_status. This contains information as to which ctm file you are up to. So if tomorrow you download src-3.0182.gz and src-3.0183.gz, then typing the command: cd /usr/src ctm ~me/xxx/src-* will cause only src-3.0182.gz and src-3.0183.gz to be applied - it will skip all of the other files. Actually, it is rather clever - if you do something stupid, like miss out one of the files, ctm will figure this out, and will not let you do this. I download them, but only apply the ctm command before I do an actual make world. You want to make sure that the sources match whatever binaries you have, because if you make changes to the kernel, you want to be sure that the kernel binary is in sync with your other binaries. The ports work similarly - in that case, I update the ports directory as soon as I get the ctm files. Just remember, when you do the very first ctm, you must have a *Empty.gz file as your starting point, and the directory into which you apply the ctm must be completely empty. After that, you need never download any more *Empty.gz files. The remaining files are quite small, so downloading them is not so bad. Another thing - if you ever modify one of the files that ctm has placed there, then any later ctm that attempts to modify that file will fail. What I do then is to completely clean out that directory and completely start over. I keep backups of all my ctm files for just that reason. Hope this helps. -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu 307 Math Science Building stephen@showme.missouri.edu Department of Mathematics stephen@missouri.edu University of Missouri-Columbia Columbia, MO 65211 USA Phone (573) 882 4540 Fax (573) 882 1869 http://math.missouri.edu/~stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 14 22:20:34 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from folly.lemis.com (unknown [192.109.197.162]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 35FAB14D7F for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 22:20:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from grog@folly.lemis.com) Received: (grog@localhost) by folly.lemis.com (8.9.3/8.6.12) id TAA00341; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 19:22:20 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <19990613192220.00235@folly.lemis.com> Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 19:22:20 -0700 From: Greg Lehey To: Mark Ovens , Anand Buddhdev Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Book References: <6C37EE640B78D2118D2F00A0C90FCB4401105973@site2s1> <19990609200329.D261@marder-1> <19990610110201.D4153@africaonline.co.ke> <19990610185231.A255@marder-1> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.89i In-Reply-To: <19990610185231.A255@marder-1>; from Mark Ovens on Thu, Jun 10, 1999 at 06:52:31PM +0100 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Thursday, 10 June 1999 at 18:52:31 +0100, Mark Ovens wrote: > On Thu, Jun 10, 1999 at 11:02:01AM +0300, Anand Buddhdev wrote: >> On Wed, Jun 09, 1999 at 08:03:29PM +0100, Mark Ovens wrote: >> >>> On Wed, Jun 09, 1999 at 02:41:11PM -0400, Christopher Michaels wrote: >>>> Thought he was in China? ;^P >>>> >>> >>> He was.

'b' is an abbreviation for 'block' of 512 bytes. > Is this a reporting error, or is somethingelse happening that I'm > mis-interpreting. You're misinterpreting it. However, looking at vinum(8): Some configuration file parameters specify a size (lengths, stripe sizes). These lengths can be specified as bytes, as sectors of 512 bytes (by appending the letter s), as kilobytes (by appending the letter k), as megabytes (by appending the letter m) or as gigabytes (by appending the letter g). These quantities represent the values 2**10, 2**20 and 2**30 respectively. For example, the value 16777216 bytes can also be written as 16m, 16384k or 32768b. For reasons of compatibility, vinum takes the letter b (block) to be equivalent to s (sector). The use of this abbreviation is deprecated, since the size of a block is very dependent on the context. This suggests I should be reporting the sizes as 's', not 'b'. I'll fix that some time soon.

To the best of my knowledge, this is not correct in the current versions of FreeBSD. There have been bugs in prior versions which might allow this to happen. I don't think there are any in 2.2.8 even. Some of these bugs were very specific and required another user to do something and a race to be lost. Others required a sloppily programmed setuid program, with or without the same races.

That is not important to you if you have a supported cd-rom drive, and it is tricky. What that means is that you can store the installation files on a MS-DOS partition from where they will be read during the installation. You could do that if, e.g., your cd-rom were not supported. Almost all recent ones are supported, however. > What does that mean - can FreeBSD be installed on FAT16 or FAT32 or > NTFS formats for that matter ? Absolutely not! Horrors! ;-) Seriously, no. FBSD uses a unix file system format not in any way related to FAT or ntfs. Probably most closely related to the HPFS of OS/2, but even that is more superficial than real. Note that, while you cannot _install_ on a "Microsoft" file system, you can mount them read/write (except ntfs is read-only, IIRC) after the installation. > Or does FreeBSD has its own formatting > tools ? Yes. > -- In that case will FreeBSD be able to see all of 4 GB (or more if > given) as a single partition ? Really depends on the ability of your bios to boot beyond 1024 cylinders. If you can boot it, FBSD can handle it. Forget all the DOS-derived limitations and baggage MS dragged behind itself into NT.

You really should go to 3.2-RELEASE or a recent 3-STABLE snapshot. 3.0 has all the standard problems of a "dot-zero" release. The later ones are really MUCH better, particularly if you are going to share with NT and multiboot using the NT loader. Visit www.freebsd.org to get the real scoop. Ask again on this list when you have it installed and want to set up multibooting, or you can probably just follow the FAQ on the web site since you have everything on one disk.

What does that mean - can FreeBSD be installed on FAT16 or FAT32 or > NTFS formats for that matter ? Or does FreeBSD has its own formatting > tools ? -- FreeBSD needs it's own partition. "from a DOS partition" means just that, you can copy the disttributions to a FAT (not NTFS) partition and *install* from there. Not much point if you've got the CDs, unless FreeBSD can't see your CD drive for some reason. Installing from DOS would be used if you d/l FreeBSD from the 'net. > In that case will FreeBSD be able to see all of 4 GB (or more if > given) as a single partition ? Should be able to.

I suspect incorrect reporting. Probably you missed (in vinum(8)): drive name option Define a drive. The option must be: device devicename Specify the device on which the drive resides. devicename must be the name of a disk compati- bility partition, for example /dev/da1e or /dev/wd3h, and it should be of type vinum. Do not use the c partition, which is reserved for the complete disk, and should be of type unused. It is currently possible to create drives on other disk devices, for example /dev/da0s1 or /dev/da0s1e, but it will not be possible to start these drives after a reboot. > In any event, the documentation I read show it using devices like > /dev/da3h, which should be a parition (disklabel) for a dedicated > disk... It's a partition (not a disk label). I'm not sure what you mean by 'dedicated disk' either. > Once I've done these two steps, I do an "ld" in vimum, and it shows > the disks as being "down", and 0 of 0MB. Let's see the output if it still happens after you've changed to the compatibility partition. You almost certainly got (possibly incomprehensible) error messages if the drives are down. Try 'ld -V'. > Even if I run through the entire config, which it accepts, it still > shows the drives initially in their down state. Strange. > Anyhow, if someone could give me the dinky pointer I need to get started on > this, I'd greately appreciate it. Try what I've said, and do a 'create -v', saving the output.

I've hacked the kernel sources to require a flag settable only by root for a binary executable to run. Not as perfect as it seems at first glance but it keeps the Linux kidz from hammering away with whatever goods they find on places like rootshell.com (not criticizing rootshell). I've ported the stackguard compiler and I've compiled apache, qmail and ssh with it. Protects against buffer overruns that target the return address on the stack (doesn't give that protection in library functions -- just functions in the source dist of what you are compiling). Doesn't protect against buffer overruns that target things like functions pointers and variables. I've eliminated system setuid binaries except ones that are absolutely necessary and I've compiled those with stackguard (like su, passwd, df). I've done the same with network daemons that I use (timed for example). I am currently working on a chroot'd environment for interactive logins. I've hacked login, ftpd and sshd to look for a "/./" embedded in a users home dir in the passwd file and do a chroot to that dir (before the "/./"). For telnet and ssh users directories etc, bin, sbin, usr/bin, usr/lib, usr/sbin need to be setup with various things like shared libs, termcap, passwd files -- what ever I want the user to be able to use (no setuid binaries at the moment but I may have to buckle on a couple). The idea is to have all the customers login to the chroot'd environment (we are an ISP) and disable passwords for our staff effectively disableing ftp and telnet, which would force them to use ssh (I've been unable to wean the staff off of telnet and ftp completely so I'll probably end up using Skey -- I'll still see them telnet in and do the old "su - root"). When I get it all in place knowing my root password should be useless information to a cracker (provided I'm not doing something stupid with ssh, apache or something) makeing it unappealing to gain entry. There is a more substantial effort along the chroot line in -current. I'll have the patches and some details available on an ftp server within a couple of weeks (migrating all my patches from 2.2.8 to 3.2).

Anne's approach of using BOOTPART sounds nice'n'easy, but I'm not clear if this will work with 3.2, given the changes to the boot process/boot files. Is DD still a reliable option in this instance, as a fall-back? Can I frig something during the install process via virtual terminal, for example? Any advice here would be greatly appreciated!!!

I installed 3.1 and then almost immediately upgraded to -STABLE with a "make world". In any case, I would suggest people go to 3.2R or a -STABLE snapshot, not 3.1. The key point is that this solution is totally dependent on the "new" 3-stage boot loader. In any case, when working with this range of versions, be sure to keep /boot/loader and /kernel version-consistent or you may get into a situation where your shiny new kernel can't be booted by your dingy old /boot/loader. > > c:\boot.ini is: > > > > C:\="MS-DOS" > > multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" > > multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos > > c:\bootsect.bsd="FreeBSD" > > > > /boot/loader.rc is: > > > > set root_disk_unit=0 > > autoboot 10 > > This may have to be: set root_disk_unit=1 autoboot 10 for an all ide system.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, gurus: I had install win95 before installing FreeBSD 2.2.8 . Then I want to change the win95 partition to FreeBSD partition. I used /stand/sysinstall and Fdisk -> label -> mount. The win95 partition is the first slice of the disk (wd0s1). It seemed ok until I reboot the system. The system can't boot because it couldn't find the boot files. I have to set the first slice to "unused" for booting the system. Could anyone tell me why? Thanks!

Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 01:42:04 -0700 From: Rahul Dhesi Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Support I configure a FreeBSD box for a customer, using IP address and gateway on my LAN. The customer will connect the machine on his own LAN. What is the recommended procedure for the customer to correctly set the host name, IP address, and gateway? When the customer puts the machine on his LAN and powers it up, we have a chicken-and-egg situation. The customer needs to see the login: prompt, log in as root, and set the IP address etc. But he might never reach the login: prompt, because the boot procedure will keep waiting for various network services and daemons (e.g., DNS, NIS, ntpdate, who knows what else). Some of these will hang for a long time because the machine's IP address and gateway is not correctly set. Booting the machine into single-user mode (with 'boot -s') leaves the root disk mounted read-only, and I see that /usr is not mounted and 'vi' is not available. Working around this and editing /etc/rc.conf is possible but too complicated to write down on a small slip of paper to be stuck to the machine before delivering it to the customer.

I will follow the advise given. However there's this thing bothering me. The question is: You say; "make sure that usr/src" directory is complete empty". If one were to go there one will find many other directories inside. For example in my usr/src i will see things likebin/, contrib/,games/, sys/ and many others... Maybe u mean delete all the directories inside src? If my understanding is correct I'll need to spend most of the time deleting all those directories under src. It's a lot. And without these directories would it corrupt the OS as complete program? Please highlight.

This procedure gives you something called "dangerously dedicated" scheme and all the partitions are named in this case /dev/da0e /dev/da1e and so on. These are so-called compatibility slices, contrary to /dev/da0s1e /dev/da1s1e. Edit your disklabels so that da0e and da1e partitions have 8GB of space and have fstype of vinum, just edit the fstype field with disklabel -re da0(da1). Now you can try the following conf. file: drive d1 device /dev/da0e drive d2 device /dev/da1e volume cvs plex org concat sd length 0 drive d1 plex org concat sd length 0 drive d2 The "length 0" gives you automatically all the space vinum can allocate on the partition da0e(da1e), in this case 8GB each. That's what I have done, except I have EIDE disks. Hope I haven't made any mistakes. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 15 2:33:46 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from solaris.matti.ee (solaris.matti.ee [194.126.98.135]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EFE8814D8C for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 02:33:42 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from vallo@matti.ee) Received: from myhakas.matti.ee (myhakas.matti.ee [194.126.114.87]) by solaris.matti.ee (8.8.8/8.8.8.s) with ESMTP id MAA10738; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 12:33:29 +0300 (EET DST) Received: by myhakas.matti.ee (Postfix, from userid 1000) id E1B8E1F6B; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 12:33:37 +0300 (EEST) Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 12:33:37 +0300 From: Vallo Kallaste To: Mike Urban Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Can FreeBSD and Samba replace Netware?

Let the NetWare server do his work and just add FreeBSD machine for email, althought I don't know what you mean about intranet services. If you have firm plan to replace Netware with FreeBSD, then better let the Netware server stay for some time so you can play with samba and other tools you can need to replace Netware.

[ML] Well, there have been some attempts, but unices run on very different hardware so that a binary virus has problems to spread on a different architecture, and usually sensible users do not run with superuser privileges so that the virii have problems spreading since a normal mortal cannot alter a system binary. Furthermore, there seems to be a maturity of the users in play, as well: the people knowledgeable enough to write a virus which would have a chance to spread among unix machines are usually no longer infantile enough to actually write one :) Shall we say, they find other things (kernel hacking comes to mind) more challenging than a mere virus. /Marino > Sincerely, > huining zhang > June 14,1999 > > > > > 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 Tue Jun 15 3:53:35 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from imc01.ex.nus.edu.sg (imc01.ex.nus.edu.sg [137.132.14.60]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0527D14DFB for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 03:53:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ccegongw@nus.edu.sg) Received: by imc01.ex.nus.edu.sg with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 18:54:07 +0800 Message-ID: <762388C091FAD01180FF00A024621378E8EF19@exs01.ex.nus.edu.sg> From: Gong Wei To: "'aphor@ripco.NOSPAM.com'" Cc: 'Matt Behrens' , 'Alan Edmonds' , "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: RE: *BSD init scripts Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 18:54:06 +0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Thanks for the reply! I just did a "kill -INT 1" and found that /etc/rc.shutdown has been called!

It is intended for those cases when root did rm -rf * in /. shutdown, however, should run them, but it still may behave like init 6 (sorry, cannot check this, I only have an AIX box around, and that one is hardly authoritative--i.e. runlevels, but no rc.d) /Marino > Thanks to all replied and hopefully this email could be useful for > someone > out there ... > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 15 4:40: 9 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from titan.metropolitan.at (mail.metropolitan.at [195.212.98.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CF8B414FCF for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 04:39:59 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mladavac@metropolitan.at) Received: by TITAN with Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49) id ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 13:42:56 +0200 Message-ID: <55586E7391ACD211B9730000C110027617966D@r-lmh-wi-100.corpnet.at> From: Ladavac Marino To: "'jbarbee@singular.com'" , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: what determines the drive number of disks?

It is my understanding that /boot/boot0 _is_ the thing that gets put in the master boot record of a FBSD disk when you tell it to do so during the install, so it is the same as what you get with the dd procedure. I haven't a clue as to what bootpart does, so have no comment on it at all: it may very well be the magic wand that solves all problems. What I do know is that /boot/boot0 works fine as bootsect.bsd (where that is the name referenced in boot.ini) when FBSD resides on the _second_ disk. I have not researched the source code, but my understanding is that when it finds a bootable fdisk partition (slice in FBSD parlance) with the FBSD magic number (165, IIRC) on the first BIOS disk, it just boots it: no muss, no fuss. Putting all this together, I _speculate_ that what you want is: 1. The NT master boot record on the first disk (put there during the NT install) 2. The NT boot program (I forget the name) in the DOS fdisk partition known as C: (This should eventually get executed by the bootchain starting with the MBR, if my understanding is correct.) This is the least reliable point in my analysis, IMO. In other words, I'm not sure how NT does its own boot. ;-) 3. A boot.ini composed of: (1) c:\ # to boot DOS (2) c:\bootsect.bsd # to boot FBSD (== /boot/boot0) (3) The NT incantation which references NT on the second disk, the one that looks similar to this, but references the second disk: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" (4) The counterpart to (3) that does its thing with vga only You should have installed 3.2 _without_ installing a FBSD MBR (/boot/boot0 copied to c:\bootsect.bsd takes its place). What say everyone? (Specifically asking any 3-stage boot gurus listening to stick their oars into the water.)

Unfortunately, the machine is IDE-based. I added a 10 gig Maxtor IDE disk on the second channel, and ran in to some problems with 2.2.7 recognizing anything past 16K cylinders. 2.2.7 reports the following on boot: wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): wd2: 8063MB (16514064 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S The disk is actually 19386 cylinders. I thought the 16383 looked awfully suspicious, so I poked around more and learned that 2.2.8 fixes this issue. The trouble is, I partitioned and labeled the disk to what the kernel sees, giving up 2 gig. It's up and running with some critical things (/var, my news spool, etc.). fdisk reports back: ******* Working on device /dev/rwd2 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=16383 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=16383 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 16514001 (8063 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15 The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: The data for partition 4 is: The big question I have is this: If I build 2.2.8 and reboot, will the existing partitioning scheme still work? Will something get messed in the translation process when the kernel suddenly realizes that there are more cylinders than before? And, after safely booting up again - can I safely add a new partition to use up the rest of the disk that wasn't previously available? Ideally I would expand the original partition, but I'm guessing that won't be a viable option. I am not opposed to creating a second partition and some new slices (under /dev/wd2s2x I presume). Any experience? Tips? Advice? The machine typically has 40-50 people logged in during the day, and serves over 150 total.. It's also co-located, so I don't have convenient console access (though I do have some). In other words, I can't break it! :) Thanks in advance, Steve -- Stephen S.

My advice is to not change platforms unless you have a damned good reason to do so. People are used to what they have, and the cans of worms you open when you convert are often beyond your wildest imaginings.... conversions are often career re-defining moves, and should be handled with the greatest of caution. Here's one possible, and unsolveable, complication... if you are using NetWare 4 or later, and are using the bundled ZEN package, you won't have it's software installation and menuing abilities under any other OS I've seen. (If someone knows of comparable products, PLEASE correct me, especially for FreeBSD, .... I'd LOVE to be wrong this time.) The impact of ZEN on reducing the system managers efforts to get software installed, and to control lusers can't be overstated. However, if you are using NetWare 3.X or later, you can do email free from NetWare. POP3 and SMTP in any case. (Personally, I hate IMAP, so that suits me just fine.) As to EMail.... the answer is use David Harris' Mercury product. It's free, unless you want to purchase manuals. (You are under no obligation to do so, but it does support his efforts.) Look at http://www.pegasus.usa.com for the software. Mercury has some excellent tie-ins with Pegasus, but will work with any POP3/SMTP compatible client. To use the current versions of Mercury, you need to have a Sendmail server around somewhere. That can be at your ISP's office, or your own machine. Mercury isn't smart enough to do address resoloution, so it sends outbound email to what it calls a "smart mailer". Inbound mail is handled directly. That leaves the question of connecting to the Internet. This discussion assumes you have a small office, and don't have an existing Internet connection. With NetWare 3.X or 4.X, the easiest thing to do is bring up a FreeBSD box and configure it to route to the Internet. It can also act as your smart mailer. I'm doing this with NetWare 4.X, with good results on a 56k modem. If you are using IntraNetWare or NetWare 5.X, there are bundled options that let your NetWare server act as a router to the Internet. You can use NAT, IPX/IP conversion, or you can use it as a straight router if you have enough IP addresses.... your choice. There are lots of good documents at the novell support home page (http://support.novell.com) to let you do this. I've set this up for some clients, and they are very happy with it. They are more stable than their ISP (who is Ascend, Cisco, and FreeBSD based). What about an "intranet"? You have to define your terms here. I usually consider "intranet" to mean one of two things. Either it's a marketing term, empty of real content but usually meaning "a LAN without NetWare". The term is usually used that way by Microsoft marketing droids. It can also mean "a LAN with a web server". With IntraNetWare and NetWare 5.X, a web server is available, and you can download updates to it (and the whole package, for that matter) from Novell's home page. If you are using FreeBSD as a router anyway, you could just run Apache on the FreeBSD box... which is a good choice. While I wouldn't try to disuade anyone from installing the OS of their choice at the onset (within reason), I am always reluctant to suggest conversions. It's usually better to get all the mileage you can out of your current platform for as long as feasible.

[ML] It may still be that the kernel resource allocation refuses to try the second card because of the iomem conflict, even though iomem is not used once the card is recognized. So, you could lie to the kernel and set one of the iomems at cc000, the other at d8000 and see what happens. You can do that from (visual) userconfig, without the need to recompile the kernel.

The problem is that my C class adress space is getting shorter, and it would be a great thing to set up the terminals so that they only have a private ( 192.168.* ) adress. To achieve this, I grabbed a p133/32Mb/2Gb with one 3Com NIC ( 3c900 combo ) and a cheap NE2000 compatible, and installed a brand new FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE on it. As I already use ipfw on another machine, I decided to use IPFilter to have a look at it. Everything seems to work OK, I used ipnat to do some NAT and hide the terminals behind the public address of the FreeBSD gateway. Terminals -------------> FreeBSD Gateway -------------> Outside ( 192.168.0.*) (192.168.0.1) (194.x.x.x ) ne2000/ed1 3Com/xl0 I used the following ipnat rules : map xl0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 194.X.X.X/32 portmap tcp/udp 40000:65000 map xl0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 194.X.X.X/32 The ping is ok from the terminals to the outside, and the telnet is working fine. The problem is that the X connections does not work. I read some more docs about NAT since, and it seems I have to use some kind of X proxy to make it work. Question is, where can I find a kind of X proxy ? The servers on which the terminals should connect are of several species ( Linux, Solaris 2.7, and an Irix 6.4 ). Another question is if there exists some other way to make the X connections work through the NAT gateway, may be using port redirection or other little toys ?

But it is not so hard: cd /usr/src rm -rf * will do it. Well, it will take a little time, maybe a minute or so (unless you have softupdates in which case it will be a few seconds). Applying ctm will recreate all these directories. The OS needs nothing in /usr/src to operate.

Hi! Thanks for following up on this -- it's awfully nice of you. Actually, I got the cards working now. It took assigning different IRQ's (they had 3 & 5, and I changed them to 10 and 11; apparently COM1 was using 3, and maybe smth else was using 5), and disabling all firewall options in the kernel. > [ML] 4 hour compilation is obscene--are you sure that the turbo > is not disabled? My 486dx33 compiles the kernel, including make depend > under 1 hour (45 minutes is more like it). Do you have any L2 cache on > the machine (IIRC, turbo switch disables L2 cache for the 486). Hmmm. Makes me wonder... You know, I inherited the motherboard + CPU from somebody else, and I don't have any documentation to it. The onboard pins to connect the turbo switch or even internal speaker are not marked -- so I have no clue at what frequency the processor is running (it doesn't report at the boot-up either). I ran old Norton diagnostics on it from a floppy, and it reported CPU running at 102MHz, which impressed me immensely. When FreeBSD boots is says: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz CPU: i486 DX4 (486-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x480 Stepping=0 Features=0x3 real memory = 16777216 (16384K bytes) avail memory = 14573568 (14232K bytes) Does this mean that it thinks the CPU runs at 1MHz? That could explain 4 hour compilation (actually, that would be pretty fast for a 1MHz computer) ;^). -- Arcady Genkin "... without money one gets nothing in this world, not even a certificate of eternal blessedness in the other world..."

Definitely, but to what degree depends on what other OSes you have listed. o Listing FreeBSD by name identifies that you have experience in the BSD community. o FreeBSD is something that people are beginning to recognize, largely because of its ability to run busy sites like Walnut Creek CD-ROM, Yahoo!, and friends. o If your other OSes are NetBSD and OpenBSD, the benefit of mentioning FreeBSD by name is probably less significant than if your other OSes listed are Solaris and H-pukes. While I do not mention every OS I know by name on a resumé, I do try to show breadth by giving examples of each major area. But you correctly suspect that BSD is going to be more significant than HPUX or AIX (that's "aches" :-) when dealing with the Internet. -- Matt Curtin cmcurtin@interhack.net http://www.interhack.net/people/cmcurtin/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 15 9:54:25 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail1.gte.net (mail1.gte.net [207.115.153.32]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 87AE31518F for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:54:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from phbrown@gte.net) Received: from gte.net (1Cust17.tnt21.sfo3.da.uu.net [208.254.227.17]) by mail1.gte.net with ESMTP for ; id LAA08871 Tue, 15 Jun 1999 11:54:19 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <37668515.24FD202A@gte.net> Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:53:41 -0700 From: Parker Brown X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (Win98; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Tech Support Subject: Possible Installation Bug Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Just did a full installation of 3.2, "Novice" style (all defaults), and I distinctly told it to leave my Master Boot Record alone, as I use an OS/2 style Boot Manager.

I have a Motorola BitSURFR Pro EZ modem connected to a FreeBSD 3.2 box. I cannot connect to my ISP (who uses PAP) I have my ppp.conf file set up like this(it works just fine for a 56k modem): How do I modify the ppp.conf file to actually connect with PAP? (Could it possibly be that I am setting the speed too high for the one number I am dialing? Should I set the phone number to ########&######## (or even #######a&a?(where a is the last number of the telephone number))?) Or is it, as shown in the log, that I am not sending the information with the correct protocol? (deflink: his=PAP, mine=none) Thanks tons! (and then some) Bryan Albright P.S. any inconsistencies in the log file below are more than likely either typoes or the fact that I have problems decoding my wife's writing.

I know that with pine it is easy but what about elm? I think this an elm question, not a FreeBSD question. It would help if you mentioned which version of elm you are using. See what happens when you do 'elm -vv' ... do you see a line that says Support Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions: MIME ? If not, you need to recompile elm from the ports collection. It's probably time for an update anyway. Stick with the default compilation options, and be sure to remove any elmrc, elm.rc files you may have laying around in /usr/local/lib and your ~/.elm directories (better that they be recreated). Newer versions of elm contain partial MIME support built-in, and message parts with unrecognized MIME types are passed to metamail. Older versions of elm just pass every MIME message to metamail (if the MIME configuration option has been compiled in). If you have metamail installed, you can pipe any message to it by typing '| metamail' at the message selection screen in elm. If the attachment you're trying to look at is just an rfc822 message, you can probably just '| more' or whatever your favorite pager is and look at it that way.

My drive slices are set up as follows: Drive 0 slice 1 = 128 MB FAT partition w/MS-DOS 6.22 slice 2 = 1.6 GB FreeBSD (system) Drive 1 slice 1 = 1.7 GB FreeBSD (not mounted yet) Upon startup, the boot manager first prompts me with: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F5 Drive 0 Default: F2 F1 and F2 result in the floppy drive running for a second, a beep, and then nothing. F5 results in a new menu being presented: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 F1 from here successfully boots DOS. F2 from here successfully boots FreeBSD. F5 from here results in the message .....Boot 2>. and the system hangs. How should I go about fixing this?

There was a post a couple of days ago in hackers that mentioned the 3c562, the post had this subject line: sysnewconfig990609-kld990609test8.7.patch.gz Does this patch give a 3.2-RELEASE support for the 3c562 controller? If so, is there any way I can get a boot floppy with this support so I can do a network install (I don't have a CD-ROM for my laptop). If there is no support for the 3c562, what would be a good driver for me to start with to write a driver? Also, where can one get a programmers guide to 3Com's NIC chipsets?

I have connected a modem (USR Courier V.Everything) to a serial port os the system (/dev/cuaa1). In the other side, i have a Cyclades Pathrouter(for those who don't know, a small and simple router), connected in the High speed async port another USR Courier V.Everything. Well, the problem is: The PPPD can't connect and negociate the ppp protocol. When i give the string ATZ connected direclty to the port, via CU, the modens connect. I have urgency in how to connect this, because i have to deliver teh machine and the modem today, to the client. The router isn't waiting for any type of authentication and i have called the router's supoort and they told me my configuration and my cable are all correct. The only probl;em can be something pppd is misconfigured or sending something we don't know. I'm starting pppd with the -mn flag, since the router does not negociate the magic number . My /etc/ppp/options is: # begin defaultroute modem crtscts lock /dev/cuaa1 57600 persist 10.0.0.2:10.0.0.1 # end In the log, the only thing that appears is: (PS: I'm using debug mode) Jun 15 14:55:53 compaq pppd[445]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0 Jun 15 14:55:54 compaq pppd[445]: Connection terminated, connected for 1 minute Jun 15 14:57:26 compaq pppd[445]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Jun 15 14:57:26 compaq pppd[445]: Connection terminated, connected for 1 minute Please, help!

Not safely. You risk trashing it if your telnet session dies because you overlaid an open library or binary. Plus you need to reinstall the boot blocks and build a new kernel.

When I add the samba daemon to rc.local: echo " smbd" && /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D echo " nmbd" && /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D it also hangs for a long time. Netscape also takes about a minute to initiate, so it seems to be a common network config problem. I read about a similar problem due to bad config in resolv.conf, so I added the ISPs secondary nameserver, so now my resolv.conf file looks like: domain guate.com nameserver 216.72.30.3 nameserver 204.182.160.1 but the problem still remains.

This box had run debian for about a year and a half, save for ill-fated bouts of less than a week each with FreeBSD 3.0 1nd 3.1 (mutual hostility between the file systems with 3.0, and 3.1 panicced on boot about 20% of the time due to the extended partition). WHatever the interrupt settings are, they came there from the factory, and worked for a long timel Debian had come to dislike the floppy, too, but simply had errors. There's part of the diskette that it just doesn't seem to want to access, and it starts grinding. IT can read well enough to boot either the freebsd install disks or debian, but only about 50-50 for tom's unix, and it can't write well enough for any of the three. BUt under linux, it grinds & fails, while FreeBSD continues to try forever. After about 20 minutes of grinding, I pulled the power from it. A couple of hours later, i reconnected, and it was still grinding. Not to long after that, pieces of the system started dying off--parts but not all of window selection in fvwm, etc. I tried to reboot, but it was too late. It would reply to pings from outside, but was dead on every port I could think of. Somehow it seems related to the floppy driver never giving up and returning an error, even after physical removal of the diskette, and even after the hardware ceased talking. Once I get a new floppy, i'd be happy to mail this eveil kernel-killer off to a developer who can make use of it. But I have no spares, so it's goign to be a few weeks. rick -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 15 11:51:53 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from dgriffin.org (dgriffin.org [205.147.189.146]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4E41B14CF3 for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 11:51:45 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dick@dgriffin.org) Received: from localhost (dick@localhost) by dgriffin.org (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id OAA21821 for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 14:39:03 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from dick@dgriffin.org) Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 14:39:02 -0400 (EDT) From: Dick Griffin To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Apache reads *.php3 extension but now *.html ??

Sorry if it seems vague, what happens is it runs the files with php3 extension, not with any other, including html I have already dont the DirectoryIndex line in the httpd.conf, and it still doesn't wake up to html files, it tells me the file can not be found.

I guess I never spelled it out in the body of the message, but like the Subject line says, these are definately scd-device proprietary Sonys. > If it's attached to a proprietary card, the address is usually set by > jumpers on the card. I received some help from someone who knew something about the cards. However, I could not get this second machine to work. According to his recollection, of the four sets of jumpers on the card, JP4 specifies where in the range 0x300 to 0x3f0 the card responds. However, the fact the GENERIC default is 0x230 seems to indicate otherwise. Plus, the machine that did respond at 0x340 was unjumpered on JP4. (Both the machine I have got to work and the one that does not only had position 2 of JP1 jumpered. The off-list helper indicated that JP1 dealt with DMA.) I have been unable to track down on-line docs about these cards. Sony's website has DOS/Win drivers for these old things, but nothing I could find about jumper configs. Any pointers to docs or further direct help would be much appreciated. > Hope you can work around Y2K on that thing or you're going to have a big > doorstop in 6 months :-) Uh-oh... Dare I ask?

I have a AMD k6-2/380 that seemingly works perfectly in FreeBSD. It is even able to build a kernel and make a 3-stable fine. (I did not time it though). But in Windows, 98 or 2000, it refuses to boot. 98 just reboots, and 2000 locks up at the login prompt. I would expect the reverse to happen, IE WIndows works ok with broken hardware, while FreeBSD doesn't. Anyone have any clues? I tried changing the CPU and RAM, with no changes... I guess it could be a bad motherboard, or at least damaged motherboard?

As far as I know, the only choice is vgetty which is included in the mgetty+sendfax distribution. Unless things have changed since I looked at it last, though, it's fairly poorly-documented and only works well with certain models of ZyXel modems.

Some (but unfortunately not all) kernel functions and structures are described in section 9 of the manual. Look at intro(9) for a start. There's also a tutorial at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ddwg/ddwg.html. But you'll find that you'll have to read a lot of other driver code before you get your driver finished.

Thanks to Jeff Phillips help last weekend I finally got WP printing. Had to create a separate /etc/printcap entry, tho. Among my fumbles were not-doing some setups as root, and doing other things as root. After at least 6 reinstalls, success. On tao. Now I'd like to go back to sage where I originally installed WP and see if I can get it to print over my ethernetted boxes. Just because it *ought* to :-) You're right about the details being buried... Like so deep it'd take a month to climb out of that hole to daylight. I'm already collecting notes re WP so that the next time it doesn't take 53 hours of headbanging and teeth-gnashing. gary PS: Saw that files were saved to disk. Default? Maybe. How would I translate these (WP) files to PS?

The dd(1) method should work for you (it works for me on 3.1 & I don;t think there are any major differences in the boot mechanism between 3.1 & 3.2). Copying /boot/boot0 sounds like an even easier solution, however I just tried it on my system ('/' is on the first drive) by copying /boot/boot0 to BOOTSECT.BSD (after backing up the original) and rebooted. All I got displayed when I selected FreeBSD from the NT menu was: default: F1 _ (the '_' shows the cursor position). Every key I pressed just caused it to beep. Maybe, /boot/boot0 only works if / is on a disk other than the first? > > Clem > > -----Original Message----- > From: bdodson > Sent: 14 June 1999 20:03 > To: markov > Cc: bdodson; Dye, Clem; as.hombert; Questions > Subject: Re: Booting FreeBSD with Win NT > > > Mark Ovens writes: > > On Mon, Jun 14, 1999 at 09:11:58AM -0500, M.

Kazutaka YOKOTA yokota@FreeBSD.ORG ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I) Syscons Update II) Splash Screen III) Splash Screen/Screen Saver FAQ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I) Syscons Update Major update for the console driver started on 10 January. New keyboard and video card drivers have been introduced (This is just the begining. There will be more updates to follow in the next few months.) Because of these changes, you must update several things in your -current system. 1. You are required to update your kernel configuration file. If you are using syscons, controller atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD tty device atkbd0 at isa? tty irq 1 #device psm0 at isa? tty irq 12 device vga0 at isa? port ? conflicts device sc0 at isa? tty pseudo-device splash Note that `splash' is required if you intend to use screen savers or splash screen. !!IMPORTANT!! -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Due to sloppy programming of mine, the pseudo-device splash is ALWAYS needed for the syscons driver at the moment. The problem will be fixed soon. (12 Jan. 1999) -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Fixed. You don't need the splash device if you don't use screen savers and splash screen. (13 Jan. 1999) -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ If you are pcvt user, controller atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD tty device atkbd0 at isa? tty irq 1 #device psm0 at isa? tty irq 12 device vt0 at isa? tty 2. The following options for syscons are replaced by new ones. SC_ALT_SEQACCESS-> VGA_ALT_SEQACCESS SLOW_VGA -> VGA_SLOW_IOACCESS 3. The following flags for syscons are no longer available. 0x08 Force detection of keyboard. 0x10 Old-style (XT) keyboard support. 0x20 Don't reset keyboard. Use corresponding new flags for atkbd instead. 0x01 Don't install the keyboard driver if no keyboard is found, else we always assume a keyboard. 0x02 Don't reset keyboard. 0x04 XT keyboard support. 4. You must recompile screen saver modules and the vesa module in /sys/modules, as well as kbdcontrol and vidcontrol in /usr/src/usr.sbin. If you regularly do `make world', you will be in good shape. If you don't do it often, this may be a good opportunity. II) Splash Screen A splash screen module has been added. See /sys/modules/splash. This version has rather limited capabilities: it can handle W*ndows 256 color BMP file only (other color depth probably won't work); the size of the image must be 320x200 or less if the standard VGA video mode is used. If you enable the VESA mode support in the kernel, you can load as large bitmap as 1024x768, depending on the VESA BIOS and the amount of video memory on your video card. In order to see splash image when your kernel loads, do the following: Make sure the following line is added to your kernel configuration file and rebuild a new kernel. pseudo-device splash Copy your favorite W*ndows BMP file to somewhere the boot loader can see. When the boot loader starts, load kernel, splash image file and the splash image decoder module as follows. load kernel load -t splash_image_data _your_BMP_file_ load splash_bmp boot "-t splash_image_data" is extremely important as the the decoder will look for this tag for the bitmap data. If you want to enable the VESA support in the kernel, you should either 1) write the following options in your kernel configuration file when you generate a new kernel. options "VM86" options VESA 2) Or, you write options "VM86" in your kernel configration file when you build a new kernel and load the VESA module when you boot the kernel. In this case you load the modules as follows: load kernel load -t splash_image_data _your_BMP_file_ load vesa load splash_bmp boot After the boot command is run, you should see the image on your screen as soon as the kernel loads. If you specify -c or -v options to the boot command, the splash image won't appear. (But is loaded and can be used as a screen saver later; see below.) Note also that the splash screen won't be available if you use pcvt driver. You must be using syscons. The splash screen will go away if you hit any key (this may not work immediately if the kernel is still probing devices), or you load a screen saver. If you load the splash image decoder module but don't load a screen saver, you can continue using the splash module as a screen saver. Specify timeout value by running vidcontrol. vidcontrol -t timeout Then, the splash screen image will come back after the specified time. (You cannot use the regular screen saver as a splash screen, though.) There is a little-known feature of kbdcontrol which you might be interested in. You can define the `saver' key in the keymap. You press the `saver' key, then the current screen saver (or the splash screen if no screen saver is loaded) will immediately pops up. For example, if you want to assign the `saver' key to the Pause key, whose key number is 104, find the line for the4 key 104 and change it to 104 saver saver saver saver saver saver saver saver O Then reload the keymap. kbdcontrol -l mykeymap The `saver' key has no effect in the X session. III) Splash Screen/Screen Saver FAQ -------------------------------------- Q. Do I need the pseudo-device splash in order to use `blank' or `green' savers? A. Yes. The splash device is required for ANY screen savers and splash screen. -------------------------------------- Q. I loaded kernel, a bitmap file and the splash_bmp module as instructed, but got the following error. What gives? Preloaded elf module "splash_bmp.ko" at XXXXXX. module_register_init: module_register(splash_bmp, YYYYYY, 0) error 19 A. The current version of splash_bmp.ko is very limited. The color depth must be 8 bpp (256 color), and the size must be 320x200 or smaller if the VESA support is not included in the kernel. If your BMP file doesn't satisfy these conditions, splash_bmp.ko will return error 19 (ENODEV). If the VESA support is compiled in the kernel or the VESA modules is preloaded by the boot loader, larger bitmap may be used. Another possible cause of error is that the video driver finds it unable to switch video modes on your video card and splash_bmp.ko is failing. Run the `dmesg' command and see if it shows something like "...video mode switching is only partially supported..." among boot messages. There is no fix for this at the moment. Sorry. -------------------------------------- Q. Can we have splash screen and screen savers on the Alpha architecture? A. Not at the moment. -------------------------------------- ---- End of File ---- -- FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov _______________________________________________________________ Mark Ovens, CNC Apps Engineer, Radan Computational Ltd.

I have a Teac R55S, well supportes by cdrecord. Access like a cdrom works like charm, but when burning a cd (-dummy and no -dummy, same effect) it stops at approximately 80 Megabytes and the SCSI bus freezes. After 40 Seconds (the well known scsi timeout) things are getting normal again, with a broken cdrecord, of course. :) It is reproductible. Sometimes it happened after 50 seconds, but normally it is after 80 or 81 Megabytes of written data. Speed does not matter. Changing cdr-disks does not help either. Tried different cables, using parity or no, still no effect. All SCSI devices use 5,0 Megabyte/sec transfers in sync mode. My system is a FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE with 16 Megabytes of RAM (so the bounce buffers problem does not arise). At the moment of burning, nothing special runs on the machine. Any hints (besides "buy a new computer")? For double-speed burning (300 kbyte/sec to the writer, 300 kbyte/sec from the disk) the little machine should be enough, it is not Windows...

Why not plug the user boxen into the network *temporarily*, suck your lease, then rearrange them as needed? And call your dopey Telco back -- that story doesn't check out.

Hope this helps -Chris p.s. your english was just fine. -----Original Message----- From: oliver.helmling@stud.uni-bayreuth.de [mailto:oliver.helmling@stud.uni-bayreuth.de] Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 1999 2:02 AM To: Christopher J.

Linux and RedHat Linux. so tried to shift to a FreeBSD system. i´ve heard that´s the right way ...laugh but all i got from an physicist at university was the basic system with X. the rest are sources. what´s the difference between make world and make release. the disk space isn´t a problem. nor is the download from the net. i´m able to burn the sources on a cd-rom at university. so the costs should be very low. thanks in advance. bye oliver ps: sorry for my bad english. i´m from germany.

Would this work? I thought the protocol mapped a host address to a MAC. If I did that and pulled the {blah} box back off the lease (post-suck) would the ethernet link bomb?

If I tell them it doesn't support DHCP they're going to tell me to buy their cute little $600 router that'll do this for me.

I wasn't aware they made dsl equipment. Ugly little black box, looks like an audio CD Walkman that joined a gym a few months ago. RJ11 and RJ45 jacks for 10bt and DSL data. Its power supply failed today not more than a few hours before the installer came to add the audio/data splitter. It took some doing but after a long phone call at least he was persuaded to leave his (presumed functional) modem behind. Man I wish bpf was compiled in the GENERIC kernel, I really would have liked to have tried dhclient before unplugging the thing to go home.

It wasn't running in the 16-bit modes. It has to be running in 8-bit color because the gradients in WindowMaker are horrible. I thought that by not specifying any 8-bit resolutions (I am using xf86config) the server would go straight to 16-bit modes since that is next down the line. But when I tried starting up X it said: Config Error: /etc/XF86Config:530 ViewPort 0 0 ^^^^^^^^^ Mode name expected X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). I think its safe to assume that I did this by removing the 8-bit modes. But how else am I to get X to run in the 3 resolutions I specified for 16-bit color mode. I'd rather run in 16-bit than have to deal with 256 colors and ugly gradients.

I thought 98 was already patched, or did have the same bug that Win95 had with these processors? I've got another '98 system running the same CPU just fine, and it was never patched. I tried putting another HD in this system that has Windows 2000, but I wasn't sure if that was just something with 2000 not liking having its MB changed or a problem with the system.... but i've never seen a problem like this before, usually windows will at least BOOT on problematic hardware, and FreeBSD has no problem building world.

I put the same questions to the newsgroups, but there is no answer there. and I have to get this going asap. I have a freebsd 2.2 machine that is permanently connected with a dial-out ppp link. I want to allow myself and a few users DIAL-IN access from our Windows 98 PCs, but I can't get it to work. Firstly, I can actually connect and get a login/password prompt, so the modem setup is ok. Idealy, I would like to use PAP or CHAP, so the person dialing in doesn''t need to worry about login prompts and scripts at all, but in the first place, I would like to get anything working.!!! I am using a PPP version from December 1998, from Brians site. Works fine on the dialout. These are my configs for the dialin setup, exactly according to the manual pages at freebsd.org/manual/ppp-slip. There are only a few llines, and it couldn't be simpler - It just doesn't work....

In my experience it depends on the exact version of 98, like everything else Microsoft does, there seems to be some differances between newer versions of 98 and the first ones to ship. It'd be the first thing I'd try anyway. :( Also, to prove if it's a hardware or a software problem, try clocking the chip down to 350MHZ. If Windows comes up fine then it's dosen't have the drivers.

I've tried installing from the 3.1 cd about 20 times (no exageration) - I've tried every permutation of possible config scenario in order to troubleshoot what is wrong and I'm out of inspiration. After doing what looks like a clean install, the system boots, all the filesystems check clean, then the system hangs at the message: "Doing initial network setup: hostname." At this point I've let the system sit overnight (the next morning still has the same error) and I've tried ^c, ^d, ^break, ^elbow smear, ^profanity, etc. - eventually I have to use the billgates button 0xOFF to break free. What is wrong?! The system never gets past this point. Note I have tried installing without configuring network stuff, xwindow stuff, etc. (simplest path) just to see if I was entering a bogus parameter - that still left me with the dreaded error. I'm about to go back to my manual typewriter and the mimeograph machine....

I've documented the problems and sent them to qualcomm, but no response. I compile with the correct flags, checked directory and file permissions, read (and re-read) their README file, to no avail. Here are the symptoms: -- popauth will not -init, not unless I touch the pop.auth.dir and pop.auth.pag files, otherwise it croaks -- popauth will segfault, afterward, when trying to add a user -- Even worse, if I try to back up and start over (yes, popauth is u+s to "pop"), I get this: $ ./popauth -init Really initialize POP authentication DB? y ./popauth: error setting ownership of POP authentication DB: No such file or directory and I find that the *.dir *.pag files have been obliterated, and it refuses to correct them. The permissions on /usr/local/etc/pop are all correct (as is /usr/local/etc/pop/pop.auth, which was specified on the configure line). This is very frustrating, and I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one having this problem. That or people just don't use APOP :) Thanks in advance....

You can have a maximum of four slices (Microsoft partitions). Each slice can contain 8 (UNIX) partitions. You should use one slice and put all your partitions in it. > It will always create a X device anything after the 4th patition.

To do this right, 1. Use one slice only. In the partition editor, create one FreeBSD slice (Microsoft partition). 2. Go to the disk label editor and create 3 (UNIX) partitions: root file system (/), swap and /usr. Don't create any other file systems on the same disk unless you know *exactly* how big they need to be. Otherwise you're going to run out of space in one partition and have space left over in others. In your case, you'd expect to have: Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- da0s1a / 996MB UFS Y da0s1b swap 251MB SWAP da0s1e /usr 7400MB UFS Y 3. After installation, create a directory /usr/var and make /var a symbolic link to it. You don't need an /opt file system, but if you want one, do the same thing with it. Do I detect an SNI background?

Is this your configuration? drive 1 device /dev/da1h drive 2 device /dev/da2h drive 3 device /dev/da3h volume foo plex org concat sd size 4g drive 1 sd size 4g drive 2 sd size 4g drive 3 And you're asking what happens if drive 3 (subdisk foo.p0.s2) dies? In this case, your drive stays up, your plex (foo.p0) is degraded, and your subdisk is obviously down. If you're very lucky, you can access some data on the drive, but effectively this is not a good way to do things, since you can't control the layout of files in a ufs file system. If you want protection against drive failure, you have two choices: RAID-1 or RAID-5. Corresponding configurations would be: (RAID-1) drive 1 device /dev/da1h drive 2 device /dev/da2h drive 3 device /dev/da3h volume foo plex org concat sd size 12g drive 1 plex org concat sd size 12g drive 2 (RAID-5) drive 1 device /dev/da1h drive 2 device /dev/da2h drive 3 device /dev/da3h drive 4 device /dev/da3h volume foo plex org raid5 512k sd size 4g drive 1 sd size 4g drive 2 sd size 4g drive 3 sd size 4g drive 4 Each of these examples will give you a 12 GB volume, and the failure of any one drive will not affect availability (though it will affect performance). The original version uses 12 GB of disk, the RAID-1 version uses 24 GB, and the RAID-5 version uses 16 GB.

I am just wondering if it would be wise to substitute a Netware server with FreeBSD + Samba. I have setup a FBSD server during last semester for my high school. (We got some new PCs, and Apple AIX sever no longer can serve) We are planning to get Net- ware this coming school year (1999-2000), and I am wondering if there is a way, or if it wise to continue using FreeBSD instead. (Since everything is setup, and I have shell script to add all users. :) Basically, we only do file serving (we don't even have e-mail), and we have Foolproof for security in Windoze. We currently have 3 labs of 40 PII 350s, which I found FreeBSD to have no problem serving... We also have several hundred Apple G3s, and if I'm correct, Netatalk will allow FreeBSD servers to communicate with Macs. I believe one of the main reason we're approaching Netware is for its security. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a logon procedure for Netware clients, right?) But I am wondering, if there is ports similar to Netware's. (the Client-server relation, logon... stuff like that) I personally have not experience with Netware, and of course, I do not know its ability. However, I much prefer the FreeBSD since I have much more experience with it. Thank you in advance for any opinion!

Is it possible to have it in ppp mode and run PAT? Then you'd have a private address space to use.

I have been provided with a patch which fixes this situation and allows 3.1 to install. I created a custom kernel with this patch and copied it to the install floppies. This allowed me to install 3.1-Release. However, after rebooting, I get a "cannot mount root" error (sorry, the exact message is at home). I suspect this error occurs because the kernel installed doesn't have this custom patch. Does anyone concur? My proposed solution is to copy the patched kernel [described in the first paragraph] used on the install floppies to the root directory. But how to do that? I assume I can do that using a fixit floppy and copy from another floppy to fred. Either that or just use ftp to get the kernel from my ftp server. To compond the problem, the only floppy drive which works is in fred. So I've installed 2.2.8 on fred and I'm going to create some 3.1 fixit disks and use them after installing 3.1. FWIW: neither 3.* nor current sees the the PCI bus on my box. I'll supply details of the patch if anyone is interested (I'd do that now, but it's at home). cheers. - Dan Langille To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 15 20:43:26 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cepheus.azstarnet.com (cepheus.azstarnet.com [169.197.56.195]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2A317153AA for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 20:43:23 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dthought@azstarnet.com) Received: from crazyhorse (dhcp125.mc01.dsl.azstarnet.com [169.197.8.125]) by cepheus.azstarnet.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id UAA25687; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 20:43:19 -0700 (MST) X-Sent-via: StarNet http://www.azstarnet.com/ Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19990615204317.009293c0@pop.azstarnet.com> X-Sender: dthought@pop.azstarnet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 20:43:17 To: "Christopher J.

Either I missing out on something or some of my hardware is inadequate. During the install I set 800MBs for the FreeBSD partition - and used the default partition settings for /, swap, /usr /var on a secondary 1GB drive. I think the drive is still good, as I haven't had any problems and had previously installed FreeBSD on it, but I messed up the X Windows settings and wanted to start over. The drive also has a 200MB Extended FAT16 partition holding a swap file. I tried to install it to a 2GB partition on the my current hard drive, but I messed up the primary partition settings, but luckily fixed it with fdisk. I decided it was time to throw some money at it since the drive was a only a 4X. (Well, I'll see if it gets returned) I purchased a Memorex CD-482e 48X ATAPI IDE CDROM drive - had a little trouble getting it setup for Win95, but it's working OK. I shut Win95 down to a DOS prompt and started the install from the FreeBSD 3.0 CDROM and it started the installation process, but when it asks where to install from it says it can't find the CDROM drive, even though it's running from it. I chose the generic kernel with wcd (ATAPI support). Any suggestions? I was told that installing from the DOS directory had some problems found the errata - one solution didn't work and I have to try the other one. Sorry for the long winded description, but I do appreciate your help! Thanks!

I have a USR V.90 internal modem on sio1, which I am running ppp over. I also am running NATD between an internal network and the ppp connection in my house. I know the message is related to the modem and most likely not FreeBSD, but an not sure of the exact problem and where to start. When I had a Rockwell 56 flex modem in the same box I never saw this message. It showed up when I switched modems. The old modem was connecting at 46-48K most of the time, and the new one is running about 51K most of the time. I also have noticed the errors shows up when I am pushing a lot of data across the ppp link. Do I have a bad modem, or is the extra speed I am pushing through the port too much on an old 486.

When FreeBSD boots is says: [ML] Some motherboards (all I've seen run with turbo enabled--read L2 cache enabled) when the turbo pins are open; there may be motherboards which behave differently: look for 2 pins near each other on the front edge of the MB (the back edge is the one with the slots). Should they be jumpered together, try to remove the jumper. Sound pins come sometimes in the set of four, or 2 pins which are not immediately near one another. Norton will always show the same CPU speed because the test loop runs out of L1 cache (IIRC, I haven't use Norton since ages). Another possibility is that the BIOS wait states are set too long; try to play with that.

However, when I recently tried to use this I ran into difficulties that were ascribed to the fact that my NT PDC is >NT4SP3. The problem is, I take it, that NT at this stage uses password encryption (not a bad idea). One solution was to hack the registry to turn off the encryption. However, it seems to me that there ought to be a better way. The smbclient code seems to work just fine but it does not let you mount the filesystem. I don't particularly want to fork over $100 for a commercial version of sharity. Does anyone else have another solution here (besides writing something new based on smbclient)? Please CC me directly on replies and thanks for your time.

Yesterday I updated ports-lang, but it did not unbreak the gnat package :-(. Shall I update some other parts of the ports collection? (I would rather not update the whole...) However, gnat is written in Ada, so I'm pretty sure I will really need to get a gnat binary somehow... So the question is still open.

Sharity is currently offering limited licenses for beta testing of Sharity-2.0. You might find the license for the testing is workable for you. IMO, it shouldn't be too hard to hack encryption into Sharity-Light using the Samba code as a reference. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 3237 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 16 1:27:24 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from titan.metropolitan.at (mail.metropolitan.at [195.212.98.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E636D14CFE for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 01:27:17 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mladavac@metropolitan.at) Received: by TITAN with Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49) id ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 10:30:15 +0200 Message-ID: <55586E7391ACD211B9730000C1100276179675@r-lmh-wi-100.corpnet.at> From: Ladavac Marino To: 'Greg Lehey' , Eric Cc: Christian Weisgerber , FreeBSD Questions Subject: RE: More then 4 Partitions on a SCSI drive.

It's your assumption that I'm saying anything negative about them. But they *do* have this irritating habit of installing 5 partitions on every system disk, and you can't stop them.

It is just that they are sometimes somewhat odd, shall we say :) The positive part about them is that my SINIX internals "certification" applies to the rest of SVR4 world as well.

I've got the Walnut Creek CD-ROM of FBSD 3.0 and went into the installation process. Everything is rather straight forward, though be it time consuming, to install, except for one thing. I've got some problems with setting up the partitions for use with FBSD. Situation: On the server is currently RedHat 5.2 running. For RedHat I've setup a number of partitions on HD 1 and a number of partions on HD 2. The sizes and location of those partitions are the way I would like them and therefore I would like to keep them. FBSD however doesn't agree -- obviously -- with the linux type partitions. I've tried to create new slices, but the partition proggie of the FBSD installation constantly tells me that the HD is full. (Probably because of the fact that it doesn't recognises the linux partitions). So I'm stuck with two questions: 1) Is there a possiblility to keep my current partitions, but change their type to FBSD? If so, how can I do that? 2) If that is not possible, what is the best way to repartion the HD with the FBSD slices? Thanks for any help you can give me. --=Roger=-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 16 2:20:13 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp.ifnet.or.jp (gerbera.ifnet.or.jp [210.141.244.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A77F215616 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 02:20:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mstone@orange.ifnet.or.jp) Received: from orange.ifnet.or.jp (ppp1012.ifnet.or.jp [210.141.244.56]) by smtp.ifnet.or.jp (8.8.6/3.6Wbeta4) with ESMTP id SAA26521 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 18:18:07 +0900 (JST) Message-ID: <37676C43.2F72BAE@orange.ifnet.or.jp> Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 18:20:03 +0900 From: mstone X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [ja] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: =?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCIWNLXUx1ISIlXiVLJWUlIiVrQCk6biROJDQwRkZiIWQbKEI=?= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG $B!cK]Lu!"%^%K%e%"%k@):n$N$40FFb!d(B $B3t<02q\:Y$K$D$$$F$4@bL@$5$;$F$$$?$@$-$^$9!#(B $B0J>e!"$h$m$7$/$*4j$$?=$7>e$2$^$9!#(B $B$J$*!"$3$N%a!<%k$O8fCSB^(B3-30-10$B%i%$%*%s%S%k(B1F Tel 03-5953-3909$B!!(BFax 03-3980-5227 $B%F%l%S2q5D(B 03-5953-3908 Email:mstone@orange.ifnet.or.jp http://www.mstone.co.jp $B!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a!a(B To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 16 2:45: 2 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from frontier.netnology.com.au (frontier.netnology.com.au [203.33.30.19]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9AA1614C8C for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 02:44:54 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from craig@hotmix.com.au) Received: from superbruce (superbruce.netnology.com.au [203.33.30.10]) by frontier.netnology.com.au (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id SAA11875 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 18:44:29 +0800 From: Craig Beasland Reply-To: To: "'FreeBSD Questions List'" Subject: Sendmail Bits Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 17:52:46 +0800 Message-ID: <01C7F728BCABD211860B00C0261004190490C9@ABERDEEN> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi there, I have a question regarding sendmail... I have set up virtusertable and it works great, but now I want to make a slight modification. Any mail that passes all the virtusertable users then all local users if it is still not deliverable, I would like it sent to a single mailbox. I have looked through loads of stuff at dejanews, and the answer seems to be LUSER_RELAY, but every time LUSER_RELAY is mentioned, it is also mentioned that you shouldn't use it because it can muck up "working" addresses if you add new local users. Is there another solution? Is this just a warning that can be safely ignored (and then forgotten until the mail stops working ;-) Thanks for any help Cheers craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 16 3: 2:18 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from daimler-benz.com (pluto1.str.daimler-benz.com [53.122.2.31]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id CC1A514C59 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 03:02:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from norbert.meissner@daimlerchrysler.com) Received: by daimler-benz.com; id MAA22913; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 12:01:18 +0200 Received: from unknown(53.113.75.10) by pluto1.daimler-benz.com via smap (V4.2) id xma022472; Wed, 16 Jun 99 11:59:57 +0200 Received: from syssun7.rrz.debis.str.daimler-benz.com (syssun7e [141.113.46.8]) by syssun11.rrz.debis.str.daimler-benz.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA29842; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 12:00:25 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from c007fb66 by syssun7.rrz.debis.str.daimler-benz.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id MAA04236; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 12:00:08 +0200 Received: by localhost with Microsoft MAPI; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 12:00:48 +0200 Message-ID: From: Norbert Meissner To: "'Greg Lehey'" Cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: AW: What would happen if a vinum drive failed?

[ML] No, no, no, a winmodem is worse than that; an internal modem that emulates/has an UART and behaves like something behind a serial port is supported. But your typical winmodem does not *have* an UART; most of them do not even have the DSP chip required for bit extraction from the line "noise"--they let CPU do everything (the DSP algorythms are implemented in the driver). Since the line protocols are patented, there is no possibility for a (distributable) free software implementation thereof. Not to mention the fact that the access to the AD/DA circuitry is not documented and varies from model to model of a winmodem. They are cheap junk, the winmodems. However, there are internal modems which do provide their own UARTs and behave as normal modems behind a serial port. Sometimes these modems are also called winmodems, even though they are not and are supported. /Marino > Jon Doran > > > 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 Wed Jun 16 3:54:41 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mailhub.nk.ukrtel.net (mailhub.nk.ukrtel.net [195.5.9.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 57A7114CBB for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 03:54:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from small@nikts.nk.ukrtel.net) Received: (qmail 13820 invoked from network); 16 Jun 1999 10:55:00 -0000 Received: from nikts.nk.ukrtel.net (195.5.9.14) by mailhub.nk.ukrtel.net with SMTP; 16 Jun 1999 10:55:00 -0000 Received: (qmail 1746 invoked from network); 16 Jun 1999 10:54:34 -0000 Received: from abn88.nikts (small@128.5.5.88) by gate.nikts with SMTP; 16 Jun 1999 10:54:34 -0000 Content-Length: 30 Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.3 [p0] on Linux X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 13:53:27 +0300 (EEST) Organization: Ukrtelekom From: small@nikts.nk.ukrtel.net To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG unsubscribe freebsd-questions To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 16 4: 2: 8 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from titan.metropolitan.at (mail.metropolitan.at [195.212.98.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 84FEC14CBB for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 04:01:58 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mladavac@metropolitan.at) Received: by TITAN with Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49) id ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 13:04:56 +0200 Message-ID: <55586E7391ACD211B9730000C1100276179679@r-lmh-wi-100.corpnet.at> From: Ladavac Marino To: 'Rahul Dhesi' , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: recommended procedure to set ip address and gateway?

You have the opportunity to look up a list of partition types by pressing l and then you will assign the number of BSD/386 to the partition you want to change its type. A reboot is going to be necessary. One single partition (in linux words speaking) is enough: You can put a whole FreeBSD onto this partition. This partition is called a "slice" in FreeBSD words speaking - and this "slice" is to be divided up into smaller parts, that FreeBSD calls a "partition". If you have an empty partition for bsd only on your second controller there are going to be some boot problems (cf. the thread about booting NT and FreeBSD). If you do not have any empty partition, I do not know of a workaround like umsdos in linux. Perhaps other people do. By the way: FreeBSD slices can be mounted under linux if you have ufs support compiled into your kernel...

Specifically, you cannot just reuse DOS slices and put FreeBSD filesystems on them: DOS slices have to be subpartitioned so that FreeBSD could put FFS filesystem on them (easily; there are ways to do it, but it gets pretty involved, for no purpose). /Marino To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 16 6:17:40 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from agamaweb.agama.ru (www.agama.com [195.94.226.130]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id A79A61543E for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 06:17:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from andrey@agama.com) Received: from [195.94.226.144] by agamaweb.agama.com (NTMail 4.01.0008/NU2432.00.3e8112ca) with ESMTP id tmcbaaaa for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 17:13:27 +0400 Message-ID: <000801beb7fa$c064efa0$90e25ec3@agama.ru> From: "Andrew Iltchenko" To: Subject: Please help me Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 17:18:39 +0400 Organization: Agama MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0005_01BEB81C.4695F3A0" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2314.1300 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BEB81C.4695F3A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="koi8-r" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I've done a terrible thing.

Hopefully the code you wrote resides on a separate partition (i.e. in your /home which is on a partition of its own). In that case, you can reinstall, you just have to make sure that you do not newfs the partition where the current /home resides. If this is not the case, you can try to use the fixit floppy in order to dump the filesystem where your code resides, reinstall, and restore the parts of the filesystem where your code was. You can also boot with fixit floppy and install the ld-so if you can find the correct version somewhere else. However, I expect that other shared libraries will also be missing. Also, you can do the binary upgrade to 3.2, without newfsing the already existing partitions (upgrade installation will overwrite the still existing files, but will not touch--hopefully--your code because the file names are different). /Marino > =9A > Please write to me what I shall do in order to recover my project. > =9A > Thank you in advance. > =9A > Sincerely, > Andrew Iltchenko.

Reading the Makefile for gnat, it implies that you need to bootstrap by adding a gnat package. You might try looking for a package on one of the European mirrors, then doing a pkg_add. Then you should be able to bootstrap into the ports version (if it differs from that of the package). Theoretically, that is. ;-) > So the question is still open.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have been using FreeBSD since 1.x and have been very happy with it, but ever since it was changed from aout to elf I have NOT been able to upgrade to anything greater than 2.2.8. The problem is that ld-elf on a lot of packages outputs the following messages ld-elf invalid file format or ld-elf libXXXX not found I have searched for hours in the mailing list and FAQ to find an answer, but any questions related to these errors are NOT being answered. I have in the past either upgraded an existing 2.2.8 system to 3.x or have done a complete rebuild to 3.x and none have been able to get past the above problems. I have also downloaded or recompiled packages with little or no luck. KDE is my current problem. The KFM program gets an ld-elf invalid file format What is going on, are the right people not reading this list any more, or are you trying to tell us to start using Linux. I am sorry if I am hurting anyones feelings but this problem has been going on for months with not end in sight.

I don't have the dhpc tarball in front of me, but generally you can 1. un tar (tar zfx filename) it. 2. cd to the directory that is created, it generally has a similar name to the tarfile. 3. If there is a README you should read through that, and maybe take a look through the Makefile and see if anything needs to be changed, e.g. where files are placed. 4. Type make all install. BUT, to my knowledge the port has been fixed in 3.2 (the current release), as I have installed it. You have a couple choices, but I think the best is to keep your ports up to date. You can use a program called cvsup to do this. You can also use it to keep your system up to date if you choose, but we'll start with the ports. Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html#CVSUP and let me know if you have any questions.

I've not used Netatalk yet, though I might, since we have a small handful of old Macs on our network. We have over 500 Windows machines here being served by 5 NT servers, which I wouldn't hesitate to replace with FreeBSD+Samba boxes given the chance (permission, rather). > I believe one of the main reason we're approaching Netware is for > its security.

(the Client-server relation, > logon... stuff like that) Netware is not any more secure than the FreeBSD+Samba solution. Also, since Samba appears as an NT server to all of your Win* clients, there is no need to install any extra client software, as you must with Netware. > I personally have not experience with Netware, and of course, I do > not know its ability. However, I much prefer the FreeBSD since I > have much more experience with it. Netware is a lot nicer than NT itself, but if you already have a Samba solution going, that's even better. I know very large sites that use Samba to serve many thousands of clients, so there is no question that it can do what you want. The only drawback is the more advanced management features that you might find in Netware will be lacking in Samba, at least for now. Someone will write them eventually, or you could even write them yourself. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.

I am using ppp -alias -auto. I was using current ppp sources when I was on 2.2.8-STABLE. Also, I have the timeout set to 30 minutes. All I would like to know, is there a way to log what is dropping the line, whether it's my ISP or if it's ppp. I am more apt to believe that it is a problem on the isp's end and not mine but would like some verification if at all possible.

I was under the impression that if drive 3 failed the whole volume was then be unavailable. But if the volume would still be available, I assume I could recover what was on drive 1 and drive 2 and then, work from there. Yes I know, and I do keep backups, but if the volume is at least workable I should at least have what's in /usr available to me (since it was the 1st thing I copied to the volume), until I can recover the system.

It doesn't seem to be in the release notes so perhaps that makes it a bug. :-) I am putting an entry in inetd.conf with a non-root user field. This user is defined in NIS rather than in /etc/master.passwd. On 3.0-R and 3.1-R this works. On 3.2-R when I HUP inetd I get: "No such user 'user', service ignored". Putting a non-NIS entry into master.passwd for this user does get inetd to start the service. There is one interest of note in the 3.2-R release notes: "TCP Wrappers is now part of the base system. inetd, the port mapper, and sendmail are now linked against libwrap." From what I've been able to find so far, which isn't much, this seems to be more concerned with allowing greater access controls on who can connect to the services, rather than on how they are started. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 16 10:40:13 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from server6.singular.com (server6.singular.com [204.140.208.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0D22E15005 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 10:40:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jbarbee@singular.com) Received: from bleeding-edge ([204.140.208.172]) by server6.singular.com (Post.Office MTA v3.1.2 release (PO205-101c) ID# 0-42397U400L100S0) with SMTP id AAA409 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 10:41:20 -0700 Message-Id: <4.1.19990616103836.00b30860@server7.singular.com> X-Sender: jbarbee@server7.singular.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.1 Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 10:40:10 -0700 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: jbarbee@singular.com (John Barbee) Subject: hp laserjet 5L filter Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have an HP laserjet 5L connect to a FreeBSD machine.

Just wanted to share this: I have read recent postings about the IMP web-based e-mail package. It seemed like a very interesting addition for my system, so I went to take a look at the http://www.horde.org/imp site, then entered the "IMP Sites" area and found that 3 sites are registered as using IMP under FreeBSD. I was surprised to find www.linuxcountry.com listed! Then, I further confirmed that, using the "queso" utility (from the ports), www.linuxcountry.com is reported as using "FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD". Of course, they don't credit FreeBSD anywhere in their site, but it seems like one more victory in the FreeBSD vs. Linux camp :) Cheers, -Victor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 16 10:41:41 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from swcc2.sw.cc.va.us (unknown [164.106.192.192]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 711CE15005 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 10:41:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Kevin_Rooney@sw.cc.va.us) Received: by SWCC2 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.1960.3) id ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 13:37:50 -0400 Message-ID: <519E4F1A60BCD211AC6100805FEA7ACA03505F@SWCC2> From: Kevin Rooney To: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: trouble mounting SCSI cd-rom Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 13:37:49 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.1960.3) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, I'm having trouble mounting a CD on my SCSI tower through adv0.

It has a program called zipsplit. Unfortunately I can't find all the docs, but it is available at: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/ The only doc I have (dated 31/5/97) says: What is (still!) not added is multi-part archive support (a.k.a. "diskette spanning") and a unified and more powerful DLL interface. These are the two highest priorities for the 6.x releases. Work on the former is almost certain to have commenced by the time you read this. This time we mean it!

Hi, I simply copied the contents of /usr/lib from a 2.2.8 machine into the directory /usr/lib/aout. This picks up all of the files you need. I also needed to use revision 1.4.2.1 of /usr/include/arpa/inet.h otherwise I got compile errors in the routines for conversion to/from network numbering format.

There have been huge threads written about just that topic. Personally I've tried qmail for a while but didn't find it as comfortable as sendmail. So I went back to sendmail. As to security, sendmail is as safe as you make it. And it sees a lot of use, so there is lots of feedback and information out there. Maybe too much .

Under FreeBSD 3.0 (The last version I've tried this on) I've had my xinitrc simply exec gnome-session and had gnome handle, loading of my window manager, panel and whatever else. Under FreeBSD 3.2 that isnt' working, infact, if I do the following in an xterm: gnome-session & gnome-smproxy the gnome-smproxy fails because it cannot connect to the session manager. I've checked all the config files I know of for X and gnome and can't find any problems, I also checked it against My Redhat 6.0 setup and didn't find any noteable differences. so my question is: is this a known problem? if yes, is there a fix? if no, are there any ideas why it is not working for me?

The daemon is so cute! ;) I came from a DOS/Windoze world to Linux and now FreeBSD. Too put it bluntly the lack of decent documentation for FreeBSD is what is keeping people away. Other than the seriously ancient book from Walnut Creek and the Manual on freebsd.org there is nothing out there. There are so many resources for Linux users it's not funny. I can't believe how many books are on the shelf at my local bookstore. I swear I thought I saw "The Joy of Linux Sex" and "Martha Stewart's Linux Living"! Where is "Running FreeBSD" from O'Reilly? How about another 70lb book from SAMS called "FreeBSD Unleased"? If you want to see FreeBSD become more popular you have to make more resources available to people so it will be much easier for them to learn. I love Linux. I don't think anyone who uses Linux wants to harm or hinder BSD users in any way. However, the same is not true for Microsoft. Let's remember who our friends and enemies really are.

Thank you for volunteering to write a book. I'm sure you won't have any trouble dashing one off to the publishers. It's so rare that we get people taking on such a huge and often thankless task.

Cheers and take care jeff phillips X-Inside's Accelerated X has a pretty decent install program. I really missed it when it came time to configure X-Free86. Specifically one part: configuring the mouse. The mouse wasn't working, so I poked at some settings and wiggled the mouse to see if there were improvements. Sadly it was close, but instead of wiggling side to side the mouse cursor zipped up to a window control and "clicked" on something. With the focus lost, there was no hope of regaining control. I must have tried for 30 minutes (hey, maybe it'll zip back up there again!). X-Inside on the other hand did a really good job. I believe they also shipped a monitor database (timings of common monitors). So I located my monitor in a list, highlighted it (in textmode with trusty arrow keys) and the most errorprone part was finished. Mouse setup was similarly done in text mode. Not as flashy perhaps, but solid and quick. The most difficult aspect was locating the port I plugged it into, a matter of trial and error since I didn't want to open the case.

I wonder if the fact that Redhat is sold at Best Buy and Comp USA throws the actual number of Linux users off though. How many people who buy it at a store like Best Buy are still using it? And how many people were attracted to it by it's colorful box and it's claims on the back of the box, so they bought it after never having heard of it, took it home, found out what was involved and then never installed it? Or how many people installed it, found out it actually required a little effort on their part unlike Windows, so immediately took it off and then ended up having to take their comp to a store to get fixed because they couldn't figure out how to reinstall Windows? The average person who would use Linux or FreeBSD probably doesn't shop for it at CompUSA, Best Buy, or a bookstore anyway. The ones who do are probably the ones like I mentioned above. Besides that, the problem with bookstores is that the versions they carry are usually very outdated (The Border's store here has books that include "The latest version of Redhat Linux! Version 4.2!) :) And although the bookstore here does carry the Complete FreeBSD, they still have the one with version 2.2.6. Nothing newer then that.

Probally because there has been little call for it those stores. If it sells they'll keep buying more. My local bookstore says they can not keep FreeBSD on the shelves. In fact when I inquired about 3.2 a couple of days ago I got 'We can't get it right now, Walnut Creek dosen't seem to want to ship to distributors.' But they've said the same thing about the last two releases also, both of which I picked up there eventually. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 16 14:46:53 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from nanguo.chalmers.com.au (gateway.chalmers.com.au [203.1.96.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D8C7914ED7 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 14:46:44 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from robert@chalmers.com.au) Received: from carbon (carbon.chalmers.com.au [203.1.96.26]) by nanguo.chalmers.com.au (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id HAA00548 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 07:44:47 +1000 (EST) Message-ID: <01af01beb842$45ea7c20$1a6001cb@chalmers.com.au> From: "Robert Chalmers" To: Subject: PPP Dialin on 2.2.

On the other hand, as a Linux-to-FreeBSD convert, I had great luck with the Linux HOWTOs and MINI-HOWTOs, and I've found I had an easier time finding the docs I wanted for Linux than I have for FreeBSD. I DO NOT mean this as a criticism though, even when I began using Linux two years ago it had a larger much larger user base than BSD does now. Linux has also seen a lot more of a push for 'user-friendliness' than we have. Writing documentation is hard, it's even harder to write good documentation, and the organization and placement of those documents so newbies can find what they want can be difficult too. I think the HOWTO concept is good, and I for one would be willing to participate in creating and equivalent facility for FreeBSD users. As a final note, does BSD really want to go down the road that Linux has? I love it right now because it isn't bogged down with all sorts of mandatory install crap (a la RedHat) and it makes a great server or a great desktop for someone who has some UNIX familiarity. I'm not against the creation of utilities that make systems mangement easier, but shouldn't we stress what an excellent server it is first? It just seems like Linux may be putting too much towards the desktop initiative and ignoring what got it it's core user base in the first place. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Dan Langille > Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 1999 4:10 PM > To: Mr. M > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: RE: Amusing: LinuxCountry site runs on FreeBSD :) > > > On 16 Jun 99, at 14:05, Mr. M wrote: > > > Where is "Running FreeBSD" from O'Reilly?

The reason there are a plethora of Linux books is because publishers know anything with Linux, even "The Joy of Linux Sex", will sell. Are the majority of those books useful? -shrug- My advisor for my PhD bought Unix Unleashed a few years ago - he's never touched it to my knowledge. The reason there are so few FreeBSD books: 1) because FreeBSD is derived from 4.4-BSD, any book on a BSD Unix will apply (for most situations) 2) because FreeBSD is typically used by experienced sys admins whereas Linux has (or had originally) the college hacker; the experienced admins already have books on BSD style unix 3) no one, but Greg Lehey has written one; Greg has asked (if I recall a thread from maybe 2 years ago) O'Reilly if they'd be interested and they said no > If you want to see FreeBSD become more popular you have to make more > resources available to people so it will be much easier for them to > learn. I started from scratch w/ 2.1.7 and I've been running it since then. Yes, the learning curve was steep, but frankly the -questions mailing list and the Handbook were enough for me to figure out how to get things working right. Any other info I needed was from man pages or Unix for the Impatient. If you want more docs/books, help write them. I'm sure that FreeBSD-zine would be happy to receive info/tutorials as would Daemon News (I'm a co-editor).

Every month I end up pestering folks for articles.. and for the number who write, twice as many complain about the lack of docs available. I'm more than happy to put out anything I receive because every little bit helps. So instead of whining about the lack of docs, write some. -- - Jim Mock - jim@blues.ghis.net - systems administrator - ghis.NET - - work: http://www.ghis.net/ - personal: http://www.ghis.net/~jim/ - - FreeBSD 'zine: http://www.freebsdzine.org/ - jim@freebsdzine.org - - FreeBSD: http://advocacy.freebsd.org/ - jim@advocacy.FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jun 16 16:56:17 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cc942873-a.ewndsr1.nj.home.com (cc942873-a.ewndsr1.nj.home.com [24.2.89.207]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1445014A09 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 16:56:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from cjc@cc942873-a.ewndsr1.nj.home.com) Received: (from cjc@localhost) by cc942873-a.ewndsr1.nj.home.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) id TAA29435; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 19:57:29 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from cjc) From: "Crist J.

The reason there are a plethora of Linux books is because publishers know anything with Linux, even "The Joy of Linux Sex", will sell. Are the majority of those books useful? -shrug- My advisor for my PhD bought Unix Unleashed a few years ago - he's never touched it to my knowledge. The reason there are so few FreeBSD books: 1) because FreeBSD is derived from 4.4-BSD, any book on a BSD Unix will apply (for most situations) 2) because FreeBSD is typically used by experienced sys admins whereas Linux has (or had originally) the college hacker; the experienced admins already have books on BSD style unix 3) no one, but Greg Lehey has written one; Greg has asked (if I recall a thread from maybe 2 years ago) O'Reilly if they'd be interested and they said no > If you want to see FreeBSD become more popular you have to make more > resources available to people so it will be much easier for them to > learn. I started from scratch w/ 2.1.7 and I've been running it since then. Yes, the learning curve was steep, but frankly the -questions mailing list and the Handbook were enough for me to figure out how to get things working right. Any other info I needed was from man pages or Unix for the Impatient. If you want more docs/books, help write them. I'm sure that FreeBSD-zine would be happy to receive info/tutorials as would Daemon News (I'm a co-editor).

It can act as a web server.. But there is a lot more involved then just installing FreeBSD and then publishing web pages.. For one, you need to register a domain name (www.whatever.com). You also need to get a static IP address (the default IP address is dynamic for most ISP's.. This means it changes every time you log on. Therefore it will not work for running a web server). Also, you will need a full time dedicated internet connection if you want people to be able to access your web pages all the time... And generally, analog connections - even 56k V90- are to slow for a web server.. If you get more then 1 person trying to hit your site at the same time it will slow to a crawl.. 64K ISDN is better, but still pretty slow... Probably 128K ISDN is the minimum. It's also pretty expensive (at least in my area) for ISDN and a dedicated internet line.. For any serious traffic at all, you are looking at at least a T1 (if you have to ask you can't afford it). If you are lucky enough to live in a major metro area, you may had DSL available... This is faster then ISDN, and in some cases, can be as fast as T1 (on the download but not on the upload). DSL is cheaper then ISDN too, but it is very new, and not available in many areas yet.

The system is a 1996-vintage P5-150, with win95 on the two IDE drives, and FreeBSD 2.2.5 on sd0. I didn't install a boot manager, and my BIOS (AMI) doesn't speak SCSI, so I boot to FreeBSD from a floppy. 1/2 of sd0 is FreeBSD, the other is a Win95 compressed volume. This drive is now full, besides being flaky, so my idea was to dup my FreeBSD install onto a new, larger SCSI disk, and then upgrade on that copy. Of course, since it's a different geometry, I can't just dd the whole thing. Problem is: I labeled the new disk, mounted it, and used tar through a pipe to copy /, /var, and /usr over. It booted fine from the new disk, but the (Cheapbytes) 3.1 sysinstall upgrade did not see this disk! Is this because of the SCSI device nomenclature change, sd --> da ? After that failure, I did a fresh basic (Novice) 3.1 install to the new drive, hoping to use tar or dd to then copy the old system and try the upgrade again. But I can't directly get to rsd1s1{a,e,f,g} from 2.2.5 now, because of the new device naming. So I'm using dd and hd to look at the bits and figure out if I can use skip and seek offsets with dd to perform the copy, but when I think about it, there's /got/ to be a better/easier way. What did I miss? Thanks. P.S.: of what use is scsiformat(8) in this scenario? When starting over, particularly to examine the bits directly, I just did a 'dd if=/dev/zero \ of=/dev/rsd1' to clobber the thing. scsiformat(8) operates at a lower level than this, does it not? -- David Carmean PGP fingerprint = B1 57 EB A8 1D B9 87 86 5F 5C 51 A4 F2 5E ED FD My God, it's full of Cars!

This is useful for adjusting rules by executing multiple ipfw commands in a script (e.g. sh /etc/rc.firewall), or by pro- cessing a file of many ipfw rules, across a remote login session. If a flush is performed in normal (verbose) mode (with the default kernel configuration), it prints a message. Because all rules are flushed, the message cannot be delivered to the login session, the login session is closed and the remainder of the ruleset is not processed. Access to the console is required to recover. Alfred, you were very close, but without the -q yoou'll need to get to the console to recover as the second command will be lucky if it gets run... try: ipfw -q flush ; sh /etc/rc.firewall instead.

None. You don't need it, and it's obsolete and doesn't work under 3.1. Read the camcontrol(8) man page for instructions on how to format with 3.1. > When starting over, particularly to examine the bits directly, I > just did a 'dd if=/dev/zero \ of=/dev/rsd1' to clobber the thing. > scsiformat(8) operates at a lower level than this, does it not? Correct. You only need it if you have unreadable sectors on your disk, and nowadays that means it's probably dying anyway. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

That's not a problem. 2.2.5's MAKEDEV didn't create them, and during this run, I'd used "fdisk -i" so it was actually rsd1s4.

Provided that I was able to figure out the offsets (using the figures/tables in your book, BTW), would I be hosing myself out of the correct superblock count/position, because the source fs was of a different size/geometry, or disklabel info?

Change rc.firewall to default to quiet unless otherwise specified. eg: pseuodo-code something like: if firewall_verbose = YES then fwcmd = ipfw else fwcmd = ipfw -q end That way, if you forget, it won't matter....

I have setup a FBSD server during As others mentioned Samba doesn't do IPX (what netware uses). If all you are looking for is a way to do file sharing then FreeBSd+Samba will do. In addition if the school was willing to pay money to get netware then I would recommend Netmax. It is basically a web interface on top of FreeBSD, Samba, DNS and a number of other programs.

It is possible to crash the system if you use really strange configuration commands. This doesn't seem to be what you've been doing--see below. Here's my config: > > bash-2.02# vinum > vinum -> list > Configuration summary > > Drives: 0 (4 configured) > Volumes: 0 (4 configured) > Plexes: 0 (8 configured) > Subdisks: 0 (16 configured) > > > vinum -> drive a device /dev/da0d > vinum -> drive b device /dev/da1d > vinum -> volume mystripe > vinum -> plex org striped 1024k > vinum -> sd length 2040m drive a > vinum -> sd length 2040m drive b This is wrong. I don't even know why it can work, but it's a bug in Vinum to allow this at all. Read vinum(8): vinum requires that all parameters to the create commands must be in a configuration file. Entries in the configuration file define volumes, plexes and subdisks, and may be in free format, except that each entry must be on a single line.

At a company I worked for they did that.

I don't know whether it's true or not. This isn't the book we were talking about a year ago. I did a search for "FreeBSD" on the O'Reilly web site, and this is all I found (at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/prkunix/author.html): Prior to joining O'Reilly & Associates as UNIX system administrator, Nathan Patwardhan was a software developer and system administrator for Banta Integrated Media in Cambridge, MA. When not hacking Perl or advocating FreeBSD and Linux to his friends, coworkers, relatives, and other folks who don't know UNIX from Munich, Nathan is an avid music collector. The reference was to a Perl book. Maybe you could post your URL. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

Yes. I was bitten by this myself on a recent new installation. I installed a minimal system (including the compat stuff) and then built X from the port. The lack of X aout libs meant that netscape wouldn't start. I ended up installing the X compat libs from another system. Does anyone know for sure if -DWANT_AOUT work with the X port?

I am still configuring kernel. Would you please answer the following questions? Thank you in advance. Questions: 1) I rewrite kernel config file and installed without any problem except one thing. As www.freebsd.org/faq/faq77.html suggests, I added the vendor name-id combinations for a 3com pnp modem and a SB16(CT2980)pnp cards. Then, "device pcm ..." line was added to new kernel config file. Make install was successful. Now, SB16 has been recognized and initialized at the bootup. However, I can't seem to find out the boot-time configuration script. Is this a shell script on your home directory? I like to add "pnp ..." config line to it. 2) Netscape tells something like it cannot load ld.so. Does the following method remove the problem? from 3.2 errata: "The compat20 and compat21 distributions install themselves into /usr/lib/compat. The compat20/compat21 distributions are a.out libraries, thus they should live in /usr/lib/compat/aout to match ..." 3) The other day, someone in freebsd.misc newsgroup was saying that the ide bus perfomance could be improved if tweaked. How could it be done?

How could it be done? I only know that you can use flags in the kernel to let FreeBSD probe for DMA, multi-block I/O, etc. You can use iozone (from /usr/ports/benchmarks/iozone) to test this very easily. See 'man wd' and the LINT-configuration.

Partition Magic (commercial) can be used to shrink FAT and VFAT partitions (see also fips.exe and presizer.exe in the tools directory). PM can move - not resize - BSD (and Linux) partitions.

No can do. Alright, Let me tell you my sad story. I have a system which I have shipped to some other folks. It has been installed and operating on the network belonging to these other folks for some long time now. It is accessible over the Internet, but physically, it is located in a galaxy far far away from me. I have no physical access to it, and the system doesn't even have a monitor on it most of the time. (And I would like to avoid asking these people who are hosting it to put a monitor on it, because that is a hassle for them.) The system is running FreeBSD 2.2.8. Under heavy load it now crashes and reboots itself on a regular basis... every few hours, at random. I get *no messages* in /var/log/messages saying what happened. Maybe some message would appear on the console, *if* this system had a console monitor, but it doesn't, so that's that. I figure that the only way for me to debug this ongoing frequent kernel panic problem from here is for me to get a kernel crash dump and then look at it using a debugger. Now the problem: When this system was setup (and partitioned) initially it had a MUCH bigger swap space than physical memory. It has since had physical memory added however. It now has 320MB physical and only a single 140MB swap partition setup for it. There are NO free partitions and adding another drive to the thing now would be a MAJOR hassle, and the people who are hosting it for me (far far away) probably will *not* want to even try doing that, even if I ship them a new/additional disk drive for the system. The book I am looking at (``The Complete FreeBSD'') says that I _cannot_ get a kernel panic-time dump _unless_ I have a swap partition that is at least as big as my physical memory. Well, I don't have that, so now what? Am I like totally screwed? Is there like any way out of this corner I seem to have painted myself into?

You can create a file which you can use for swap. I don't know the exact syntax for it, but it's something with vnconfig and swapon as far as I can remember.

There was a $1500 prize for anyone who could find a bug or security hole in it, but it was never claimed, because nobody could find any such problem. In recent months, sendmail has ironed out many security problems, but I would still not trust it. Some people find qmail difficult to work with, because they claim it is too different. Others complain about the fact that we must add new users to the system to use it. In my opinion, those are just silly excuses not to use qmail. Best thing is: try it for yourself, and see what you think. I use it on my personal workstation, and my ISPs mail server.

There shouldn't be any arguing over which of Linux or FreeBSD is better. Each has its own set of features that people may or may not want. Personally, I've always considered that I'd prefer to run Linux at home and that I'd rather run my servers on FreeBSD. In that perspective, Linux becomes an ally for FreeBSD because the two will have to speak to each other.

As XFree is ported on both Linux and FreeBSD, you can buy either type of boards.

I doub't you could _dump_ to it though? - I thought dump wants a bona-fide device to dump to, not a virtual device? (I could be wrong :) You may get more milage by 'exchanging' your 140Mb swap partition for another partition on the system... (Though the remoteness of the machine might make this tricky), e.g. on our machines /tmp is 512Mb, so we could switch our swap (128Mb) carefully for /tmp? :-) -kp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 17 7: 5:12 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from dart.sr.se (dart.SR.SE [193.12.91.98]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9727C15325 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 07:04:57 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gunnar@pluto.sr.se) Received: from honken.sr.se ([134.25.128.27]) by dart.sr.se (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA04449; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 16:04:38 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from pluto.sr.se (pluto.SR.SE [134.25.193.91]) by honken.sr.se (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA11347; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 16:04:37 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from gunnar@localhost) by pluto.sr.se (8.9.2/8.9.1) id QAA99787; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 16:04:37 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from gunnar) Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 16:04:37 +0200 From: Gunnar Flygt To: Mojahedul Hoque Abul Hasanat Cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: Where to buy?

When you buy the cd's from Walnut Creek you are supporting the FreeBSD Project, whereas when you buy from Cheapbytes, I do not believe that the FreeBSD Project sees any of those proceeds.

I just did the FAQ's dd procedure on my FBSD disk and the 512 byte file I recovered is identical to /boot/boot1, not /boot/boot0. If I had just looked at the FAQ, I would have known that by looking at the dd command line. So the procedure of using /boot/boot0 as bootsect.bsd _is_ only useful when you want to hop to another disk to boot FBSD. When FBSD is on the disk booted by the bios, using /boot/boot1 as bootsect.bsd should give you the same result as the dd procedure. (All this /boot/* stuff is appropriate only for a FBSD version with the 3-stage boot scheme. 3.1-RELEASE and later? Do not know the exact chronology.) To paraphrase Mike Smith in a posting to -hackers (or -current, can't remember which): /boot/boot0 is the FBSD Master Boot Record (mbr), It puts up the F? prompt and loads /boot/boot1, which is silent, but loads /boot/boot2, which twiddles the propeller. You can interact with /boot/boot2 if you are quick on the keyboard. It, in turn, loads /boot/loader, which reads /boot/loader.rc, etc, and contains the bootforth interpreter. So /boot/boot0 is written to occupy an mbr slot. /boot/boot{12} occupy the first 8K bytes of the FBSD _Unix_ boot partition disklabel. This is generally the a (Unix) partition in the FBSD slice (fdisk partition)--see the dd command line in the FAQ entry. So, if you want to hop to a second disk to boot FBSD, you have to hop to the MBR on the second disk (i.e., it cannot be "dangerously dedicated" -- it must contain a proper mbr). This implies the use of boot0 as bootsect.bsd. This disk hopping protocol is standard procedure, independent of whether or not you are using the NT boot loader. If you want to stay on the bios boot disk, you need to use boot1 (either recovered by the FAQ dd procedure, or just copied from /boot/boot1 of an installed system). I'm pretty sure of this analysis, but not absolutely positive. Someone with a range of hardware: check all this out and let us know the result, please. Isn't the PC hardware world wonderful? :-( Suns are so much easier. There still remains the possibility (probability?) that the kernel will become confused about what disk it is on. So you may need to help it out with an entry in /boot/loader.rc (see prior posts), or, if you are bypassing the 3-stage boot stuff, by an entry in /boot.config similar to: 1:da(0,a)/kernel -c There remains the possibility that this may be modulated by the way you have your bios boot scheme set up: The details may be different when you have a boot sequence of CDROM->C: versus C:->CDROM, etc. Please someone tell me if I'm wrong on any of this analysis. If anyone wants to use any of my text in this mail message in a documentation update, feel free (I give my permission).

Try ``disable pred1'' and ``deny pred1'' in your config. There's at least one predictor implementation running around that doesn't gel with ppp. I've heard reports that older versions of ppp *did* work, but I've rebuilt those older verisons and run them against the latest version without problems.

Its great, except for two little nits where they mention the licencing.

What exactly is Smartfilter? If it comes in source-code form, you could probably just natively compile it for FreeBSD. If not, and it is something as simple as a Squid redirector module, get the Linux binary and run it using the Linux compatiblity in FreeBSD. Since redirector modules do nothing but take input on STDIN and spit an answer out STDOUT, there shouldn't be any problem using the Linux binary with Squid compiled for FreeBSD. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.

Any chance of (1) having them pull some of the memory, or (2) creating a debug kernel that ignores most of it? (Of course, this may eliminate the rebooting.)

Enabling PIO or DMA doesn't do all that much for transfer rate, however it offloads a lot of work from the CPU. Before I enabled DMA on my boxes, during heavy compiles top showed about 50% or more CPU devoted to "interupt" (processing hardware IO) when i switched to DMA it went to under 1% :) PIO probably isn't as drastic, but can probably spare you mucho cycles. if you want to see raw read performance try this: dd if=/dev/rwd0 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1000 -----^^^^^^^^^^ | raw device for your harddisk. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 17 9:58:41 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ms1.eranet.net (ms1.eranet.net [203.95.230.34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 80333151A8 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 09:58:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kevlo@hello.com.tw) Received: from hello.com.tw (n059.n203-95-216.eranet.net [203.95.216.59]) by ms1.eranet.net (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id AAA27410; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 00:57:54 +0800 (CST) Message-ID: <376928B4.B0D91BC4@hello.com.tw> Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 00:56:20 +0800 From: Kevin Lo X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Greg Lehey Cc: Brett Taylor , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD books (was: Amusing: LinuxCountry site runs on FreeBSD :)) References: <37688E8F.C67AC3BC@hello.com.tw> <19990617160147.L9893@freebie.lemis.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=big5 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greg Lehey wrote: > On Thursday, 17 June 1999 at 13:58:40 +0800, Kevin Lo wrote: > > Brett Taylor wrote: > > > > > > > >> The reason there are so few FreeBSD books: > >> > >> 1) because FreeBSD is derived from 4.4-BSD, any book on a BSD > >> Unix will apply (for most situations) > >> > >> 2) because FreeBSD is typically used by experienced sys admins > >> whereas Linux has (or had originally) the college hacker; > >> the experienced admins already have books on BSD style unix > >> > >> 3) no one, but Greg Lehey has written one; > > There are plenty of non-English language books, and there are a couple > of English-language books in planning. > > >> Greg has asked (if I recall a thread from maybe 2 years > >> ago) O'Reilly if they'd be interested and they said no > > Well, they only said no to me :-) I think that Nate Patwardhan is > writing one, but I'm a little concerned that nobody knows him. > > > I saw the O'Reilly book catalog last week, it will publish the book > > "FreeBSD in a Nutshell".

Japan is a _HUGE_ market for FreeBSD, so why is O'Reilly bring out a Chinese language version instead of a Japanese or English version. If this is correct, this makes little sense. We, the FreeBSD community, need to bring out our own version of "FreeBSD in a nutshell". Of course, we can't use that title.

I volunteer to updated the FAQ with the info contained here. I'll try changing my BIOS boot sequence as suggested to see if it still works (which it should as I'm booting off the first HD). When I added my 2nd HD I thought about leaving a couple of hundred MB free "just incase", but decided against it and gave all 4.5GB to /usr. Shame, I could havecreated a boot partition on it and tested the possible problems you mentioned.

It´s there some tweak thing to do, or what can I do to Fix it??? PS If you need more information, just tell me. Thanks in advance!!!

It has attractive specs and seems to slowly bridge the gap between Intel and DEC Alpha. Also, can anyone please tell me why in Gods name people who use Sun Solaris insist that a Sparc 10/Dual 51/128MB is still better than a Pentium III/500 with 128MB? They claim it's due to the throughput but when I checked the specs on a Sparc 10 and 20 the bus speeds are 15 mhz and 25 mhz respectively. For the price of a used Sparc 10 you can get a PIII 450/500 which I would think it smokes a legacy Sparc. Also, if the legacy Sparc is so great then how come Yahoo, Mp3.com, Gamespot, Link Exchange, Hotmail, and so many others are using FreeBSD? I'm confused. They keep boasting that Intel throughput sucks even with todays new hardware it doesn't compare to a Sparc 10. Is it because a used Sparc still costs so much? I'd swear an Intel PII/III would have to run circles around a SS10.

It depends on how the VM works... I believe the strong suggestion in FreeBSD is twice the size of physical memory. But, I don't know if that's an actual requirement. (Historically, on SysV it was.) And - it may be a requirement that swap be as large as physical memory, if not twice as large...

Will the kernel see that it only has 140MB of disk to work with and then just write that much and then give up? Or will it refuse to write anything? Or (worse) will it just keep on writing stuff even past the end of the partition in question (thus overwriting the data in OTHER partitions)? And anyway, why the heck does the dumpdev have to big as big as physical memory? I mean hay! What if I have 320MB physical, but only 100MB of that is actually allocated or in use at the moment of the panic? Then I should only need a 100MB swap partition to hold the panic dump, right?

These are what I like to refer to as "hardware kiddies", give them a nice looking box, that's maybe rackmountable or perhaps purple and they go drooling all over it. Doing some compiling on an Ultra 170/e vs a K6-233 was pretty close but the K6 seemed to kick the sparc's butt. The sparc also costed about 3k while the PC probably goes for under a grand nowadays. PCs also are so cheap that it's almost foolish not to have a couple of spares, forget about hot-swappable parts, just swap the entire box.. On the other hand, sparcs seem to be built a whole lot better, they are geared to the performance over price people, so reliability is pretty good, also they are built for serving unlike PCs which are desktops hacked to hell into being servers. All sparcs that I know of will boot off of serial, meaning you don't even need a keyboard/monitor to use them from the get-go, just a terminal, or term server. Most PC, even "server PCs" won't even boot if you remove the keyboard unless you go hunting into the bios. I prefer PCs, they come within 10% of the high end SUN/SGI machines at about 10-50% of the cost, meaning I don't put my company's eggs all into one 25k sparc basket. :) Of course if I had VC.... I would probably go sparc, but only if I had enough to keep several spares around. :) Actually I think I'm too much of a BSD bigot to do that, just heap more FreeBSD boxes into the cluster. :) High end Sun/SGI is great, but not in terms of price over performance. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 17 13: 5:17 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mta1-rme.xtra.co.nz (unknown [203.96.92.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 78C4E154E0 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 13:05:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from junkmale@pop3.xtra.co.nz) Received: from wocker ([210.55.152.36]) by mta1-rme.xtra.co.nz (InterMail v04.00.02.07 201-227-108) with SMTP id <19990617200812.VOLS404633.mta1-rme@wocker>; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 08:08:12 +1200 From: "Dan Langille" Organization: The FreeBSD Diary To: Steve Hovey Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 08:05:12 +1200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: RE: Amusing: LinuxCountry site runs on FreeBSD :) Reply-To: junkmale@xtra.co.nz Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG References: <19990616211240.KPEF404633.mta1-rme@wocker> In-reply-to: X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01d) Message-Id: <19990617200812.VOLS404633.mta1-rme@wocker> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 17 Jun 99, at 7:39, Steve Hovey wrote: > On Thu, 17 Jun 1999, Dan Langille wrote: > > > On 16 Jun 99, at 14:05, Mr. M wrote: > > > > > Where is "Running FreeBSD" from O'Reilly?

Yes. My understanding is that it is authors that are hard to find, not publishers.

Guilmette" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have already told my sad story about the kernel panics on my remote machine, so I will not belabor that anymore now. However I would like to just note that the *one* key piece of data that I cannot seem to lay my hands at the moment (and that would be most helpful to me in sorting this out) is the "panic string", i.e. the specific panic message that is being produced by the kernel when these panics occur. Just having thoe would probably help a lot. Right now, I don't even have the first clue as to what is causing the panics. These panic strings are presumably being written to the system console at panic time. That's swell, except for the fact that the machine in question normally has no monitor attached. :-( :-( And even if a monitor WAS attached, I believe that the system is set to perform an automatic reboot after a panic, so these message get cleared from the screen right after the panic/reboot anyway. :-( So this all prompts a suggestion to the developers... How about arranging for the panic string to be written *both* to the system console and also to the currently configured "dumpdev", if any? I have read about how a system panic dump gets preserved (by copying it into regular filesystem space) after a crash and reboot, and it seems to me that ideally, this same sort of preservation should be applied as well to any kernel panic message. After any kernel panic (and subsequent reboot), I should be able to go and look at a certain file and see the last kernel panic message. Is this too much to ask? Couldn't this be accomodated via a mechanism that borrows a lot (both code-wise and idea-wise) from the existing panic dump mechanism? Should we perhaps have a "panicdev" kernel configuration setting, just as we already have a kernel "dumpdev" configuration setting? The former could be used to specify where a copy of the last panic message should be written to. (That could perhaps even be a serial line or something.)

On p. 62 of the Lehey book (2nd ed.) there is a lengthy discussion entitled "How much swap?" The last point says: "Even with lightly memory loads, the virtual memory system slowly pages out data in preparation for a possible sudden demand for memory. This means that it can be mor responsive to such requests. As a result, you should have at least as much swap as memory."

I am 100% convinced that it is *neither*. The problem only arises when the IMRSS scanner program is running full blast, at its maximum rate. I suspect that perhaps I don't have the kernel configured for a deep enough interrupt stack or something like that. (The system sometimes has to handle in the neighborhood of 4K response packets coming back almost simultaneously.) >>P.S. *Somebody* needs to be cataloging all of these *&^%$#@ spam spewing >>unsecured mail relays... like for instance the 120 of them that IMRSS >>has located at Cornell. > >Unfortunately I'm not aware of anyone at Cornell who has asked you to >audit our systems for us. This is not really a proper forum for discussing the ins-and-outs or the rationale of the IMRSS Project, however I must respond anyway, so as not to leave any doubts. You are correct, sir, that no one at Cornell asked us to check for open mail relays at Cornell. But I would counter with these two points: o No one at Cornell asked the spammers to do this either, but that doesn't seem to have slowed THEM down any. (We do have on file some spam that was relayed thru open mail servers at Cornell.) o Despite the fact that you did not ask for our help in securing your network against mail relay hijacking, the available evidence indicates that you _do_ in fact need our help, as you have something like 120 unsecured mail servers at Cornell. >>(Some other group has been scanning for, and publishing data about smurf >>amplifiers for some time now. > >If we're thinking about the same group, they don't probe systems without >being asked to. We must be thinking of different groups then. The folks I am thinking of _are_ searching out smurf amplifiers, whereever they may be. These things are a danger to society, at least when they are connected to the public Internet. Likewise in the case of unsecured mail servers. Running these things is like leaving a loaded gun on your patio while small children play nearby. There is no good excuse for it. >>The IMRSS project is just doing the same >>stuff in the case of "spam amplifiers". But I digress.) > >Except we didn't ask for your "help". Well, if it is any consolation, we aren't charging you for it. The IMRSS Project provides data on open mail relays to responsible network administrators at no charge. (We should really be charging for this service, but we are selflessly dedicated to the goal of the total eradication of E-mail spam.)

If there's any such thing as an official standpoint on this issue, it would be "If you can afford it, buy the Walnut Creek version. If you can't, buy Cheapbytes; it's better than not getting it at all". Having said that, I don't know anybody who uses the Cheapbytes version, so I can't comment on the quality beyond the fact that I haven't heard of any problems.

Maybe you couldnt understand mi previous message (the encoding thing) , Im going to answer your question, and Im going to paste the question again below. I have no problem at all with the server, mi DNS its working great, i can telnet mi machine by the ip address and by name, and the response its very fast, even the telnet to the port 25 and port 110, but with the computers behind the NAT, I have the same results mentioned above with the exception of the port 25, it delays 25 seconds to print the greeting message, this is the only port that its doing this. First Posting... Hi, Im setting up a FreeBSD 3.2 Release server, as a mail server using sendmail 8.9.3, i have procmail 3.13.1 to deliver mail to home directories, have quotas enabled, Im using NAT in my Cisco routers, and everything its working great, the server its very fast responding to the smtp requests of the machines in the local network (Where the IP address its not translated) if telnet the server to the port 25, the response its very fast too, but when i try to send email with a computer that its behind the NAT, it takes 25 seconds to respond the smtp request, even if i telnet to the machine to the port 25 it delays 25 seconds to answer, but in the computers that are behind the NAT, i can telnet the sever very fast, and also I can telnet the server to the port 110 with a very fast response, the problem its only with the port 25 apparently, what can I do to correct this problem, BTW, I also have an NT machine that its working as mi actual mail server, and i have no problems with it, i can telnet to this server to the port 25 and the response its very fast from the computers behind the NAT, i dont think this is a problem with mi routers, because it always have worked rigth since 1 year ago, and they are working rigth now very well with the NT server. Its there some tweak thing to do, or what can I do to Fix it??? PS If you need more information, just tell me. Thanks in advance!!!

If there's any such thing as an official standpoint on this issue, it would be "If you can afford it, buy the Walnut Creek version. If you can't, buy Cheapbytes; it's better than not getting it at all". Having said that, I don't know anybody who uses the Cheapbytes version, so I can't comment on the quality beyond the fact that I haven't heard of any problems.

Mounting of / and whatever can be found on that THIRD disk works. BUT: Doing this deletes the MBR of the first disk. (no problem for me: I have saved the first sectors of my disks to separate floppies). There is no NT boot loader any more after this procedure. I also tried to copy the mbr of the third disk to C:>bootsect.bsd. So did I with /boot/boot1, /boot/boot2 and loader (yeah, ok - ridiculous, but anyway) - with absolutely no success. (I have FreeBSD 3.2R) So I am still forced to use a third party solution (in my case: LILO) to boot FreeBSD in the following setup: 1st controller: disk0: DOS, NT disk1: - 2nd controller: disk2: FreeBSD disk3: CDROM BIOS starts NT boot loader, NT boot loader starts lilo, lilo starts FreeBSD. > > Mark Ovens writes: > > > On Mon, Jun 14, 1999 at 09:11:58AM -0500, M.

I have heard that FreeBSD is a better platform for running a web server then Linux. This is why I got it. Honestly, is this true? I am more familliar with Linux so I would set the web server up under it. I know Linux would have no problem handling it at first, but I want to allow for future growth without having to change OS's later. I have nothing against FreeBSD. I am just familliar with Linux and not FreeBSD. Do you think there would be a real benifit in learning FreeBSD? Or should I just go with what I know? Is it true that FreeBSD will be a lot better for running the web server? Thanks, Mike.

It's because stock ftpd doesn't have an idle timeout during data transfer, and if a dialup user disconnects during an up/down load, the ftpd will persist until the system is rebooted. Setting the sysctl net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive=1 works around the problem by disconnecting the socket after two hours. -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 Thu Jun 17 15:41: 5 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from dan.emsphone.com (dan.emsphone.com [199.67.51.101]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3D11214DB2 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 15:40:56 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dan@dan.emsphone.com) Received: (from dan@localhost) by dan.emsphone.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id RAA07551; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 17:40:29 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from dan) Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 17:40:29 -0500 From: Dan Nelson To: Thomas David Rivers Cc: mistwolf@ethereal.net, rfg@monkeys.com, questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: A suggested kernel enhancement relating to kernel panics.

Well, I am getting sudden/unexpected reboots and this has happened several times now. Each time I look in /var/log/messages and there is NOTHING there... just sendmail log entries, and other stuff that makes it clear that the system was just going about its business normally, and then WHAMO! Out the clear blue, I see the standard set of message you get as the system is actually coming back up _after_ a crash. It is almost as if someone pressed the reset button, but I don't believe that anybody is doing that.

You should get something like: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): , DMA, 32-bit, multi-block-16 If you get the "DMA" message, then your chipset does support DMA. Otherwise it'll fall back to PIO. > Enabling PIO or DMA doesn't do all that much for transfer rate, however > it offloads a lot of work from the CPU. PIO is the mode in which the CPU does the work, so it onloads a lot of work to the CPU. It can also reduce transfer rates because the CPU can't keep up. I've seen a 10 MB/s drive reduced to 2.5 MB/s and 100% CPU on a P5/133. > Before I enabled DMA on my boxes, during heavy compiles top showed > about 50% or more CPU devoted to "interupt" (processing hardware IO) > when i switched to DMA it went to under 1% :) Right.

The block size is important. 512 bytes (the default) will not give you optimal performance. Try 64 kB instead. While this is running (you may want to increase the count) use top or iostat to see the interrupt time. With PIO it will be high, with DMA practically 0.

I can't find anything about the -alias switch for ppp in the handbook and the man page is a little cryptic. In short... I can't get it to work. Help! I disabled the natd/firewall stuff in the kernel and rc.conf, should I have left that in? Where do I specify the aliasing rules for ppp -alias? Is there anything else I need to do?

I'd even say it was easier, but I'm biased 'cause I love FreeBSD. My roomate and I put *nix on our personal machines the same day, he used Red Hat and I did FreeBSD.

That's normal practice: if Walnut Creek offered discounts, they would quickly lose distributors. Of course, you contribute more to FreeBSD by buying direct from Walnut Creek, but hey, if you want to save money you can go out and buy Cheapbytes and then send the FreeBSD project a check for $10.

Oh, not really understanding what bus-mastering DMA is, I didn't realize that this flag was referring to the same kind of DMA (perhaps if it had made some reference to DMA modes..) 0x2000 Probe for and use the bus-mastering DMA capabilities of modern PCI chipsets.

Here's the complete text: It's very difficult to predict how much swap space you need. The automatic option gave us 42 MB. In the manual example, we chose 32 MB. Maybe you can get by with 16 MB. Maybe you'll need 512 MB. How do you decide? It's almost impossible to know in advance what your system will require. Here are some considerations: o Swap space is needed for all pages of virtual memory which contain data that is not locked in memory and which can't be recreated automatically. This is the majority of virtual memory in the system. o Some people use rules of thumb like ``2.5 times the size of physical memory, or 64 MB, whichever is bigger''. These rules work only by making assumptions about your workload. If you're using more than 2.5 times as much swap space as physical memory, performance will suffer. o Known memory hogs are X11 and the GNU C compiler (gcc). If you use these, you will probably need more swap space. o You can add additional swap partitions on other disks. This has the additional advantage of balancing the disk load if your machine swaps a lot. o About the only ways to change the size of a swap partition are to add another partition or to reinstall the system, so if you're not sure, a little bit more won't do any harm, but too little can really be a problem. o If your system panics, and memory dumping is enabled, it will write the contents of memory to the swap partition. This will obviously not work if your swap partition is smaller than main memory. Under these circumstances, the system refuses to dump, but it's not impossible that a bug might cause the dump to write beyond the bounds of the swap partition, probably causing irreperable damage to your /usr partition. o Even with light memory loads, the virtual memory system slowly pages out data in preparation for a possible sudden demand for memory. This means that it can be more responsive to such requests. As a result, you should have at least as much swap as memory. A couple of examples might make this clearer: 1. I run X, StarOffice, Netscape and a whole lot of other memory-hungry applications on my old 486 with 16 MB. Sure, it's really slow, especially when changing from one application to another, but it works. Since there's not much memory, it uses a lot of swap. To view the current swap usage, use pstat. Here's a typical view of this machine's swap space: $ pstat -s Device 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/sd0s1b 122880 65148 57668 53% Interleaved 2. I run much more stuff on my Pentium with 96 MB of memory. I've got lots of swap space, but what I see is: $ pstat -s Device 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/wd0s1b 51200 14416 36720 28% Interleaved /dev/sd0b 66036 14332 51640 22% Interleaved /dev/sd2b 204800 14384 190352 7% Interleaved Total 321844 43132 278712 13% It's not so important that the Pentium is using less swap: it's using 0.67 of its memory in swap, whereas the 486 is using 4 times its memory. Look at it from a different point, and it makes more sense: swap makes up for the lack of real memory, so the 486 is using a total of 80 MB of memory, and the Pentium is using 140 MB. In other words, there is a tendency to be able to say ``the more main memory you have, the less swap you need''. If, however, you look at it from the point of view of acceptable performance, you will hear things like ``you need at least one-third of your virtual memory in real memory''. That makes sense from a performance point of view, assuming all processes are relatively active. And, of course, it's another way of saying ``take twice as much swap as real memory''. In summary: be generous in allocating swap space. In this example, we have a tiny disk, so we're forced to use a small swap partition. If you have the choice, use more. If you really can't make up your mind, take 256 MB of swap space. > [Buy the book, it's loaded with useful stuff, even if you've been > a sysadmin for decades.] Thanks.

Its a DataTrain P120 with the Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG, also, Plug and Play BIOS extension v1.0A. The machine has 8MB Ram. I've used the same ATAPI CD-ROM drive on all other installations without a problem. On this machine, FreeBSD boots fine from the CD. Heres where the error occurs.... After partitioning the drive, the installation begins. Where it hangs is just as its copying bin files to the drive. Sometimes none of the files are written, and the most I've seen is 3. (as far as bin/cat I believe). When installing with DEBUG mode switched on, in VT2 I see it writing various a few files, /etc/fstab, does some more stuff, no error messages appear. Like I say, once it starts to read the bin files, it hangs. CTRL-C doesn't respond either. I do have the ability to jump from VT1, 2, and 4. I've physically removed the network card from the machine, and in visual mode, all the scsi references, network card references and unnecessary conflics are removed. The probing is flawless. Anyone have an idea. I've been searching the archive for a couple of days now, tried a few ideas that appeared similar, without any luck.

I have dialup PPP into an ISP, and my DNS settings for the DNS server on the ISP works as I can surf the web fetch my email and such. I've been wanting to setup outgoing email for a while but I haven't had the time (and I still have Win95 on my system so I use that, for now) or knowledge. I stumbled across the FreeBSD FAQ Question #8.19 ("How do I set up mail with a dialup connection to the 'net?") and I figured I would give it a try. My fetchmail works fine so I didn't touch that, I just worked on my sendmail. I followed the directions, compiled the .mc file into a .cf and copied it into the /etc/sendmail.cf file, rebooted and wrote a quick email to myself in 'mail', checked the queue with 'mailq' and it was in there. So I connected up and typed 'sendmail -q'. But I got this message: barbisan@interlog.com ... Host unknown (Name server: 'mail.interlog.com': host not found) My mail server on the ISP is mail.interlog.com and I was sending it to the address: barbisan@interlog.com.

With the interest you've taken in FreeBSD it's prolly time to pick up "Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System" It'll answer a lot of your questions without scaring the newbies. :) Anyhow, since NFS is an ugly and mean thing and wouldn't be fast unless gross hacks were made to make it fast, let me explain where nfsiod comes into play: if you are running nfsiods then: A process goes to do an NFS write, the kernel immediately returns with an ok, but queues the write for the nfsiods to pick up. nfsiods are completely kernel resident (except when doing kerberos stuff), they enter the kernel and wait for a process to require something that can be done asyncronously, when the process does that they (nfsiod) are woken up to work on this queued request and the process immediately returns. the nfsiod then performs the operation(s). problems that nfsiod causes are basically that error are now asyncronous, unless accompanied by fsync() calls on the file handle. normally you might not expect a write() call to succeed when the disk is full, however you can have this happen when you are running nfsiod, an async error that may only get reported to you when you perform a close() on the file. of course, proper program checkpoint themselves and fsync(), however, proper programs account for about .01% of the software out there today. in so far as bugs, using nfsiod may find some that non-nfsiod machines find and vice-versa. using nfsiod is recommended for performance reasons. excuse the rambling, but perhaps helpful? -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 17 19: 0:17 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cygnus.rush.net (cygnus.rush.net [209.45.245.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CA5A214C36 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 19:00:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bright@rush.net) Received: from localhost (bright@localhost) by cygnus.rush.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id VAA09916; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 21:59:02 -0400 (EDT) Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 20:59:00 -0500 (EST) From: Alfred Perlstein To: Ricky Zaccaro Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD Question In-Reply-To: <37699E25.5EF0DF98@bellatlantic.net> 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 On Thu, 17 Jun 1999, Ricky Zaccaro wrote: > I would like to run my own site like www.yourname.com but i dont want to > have a company having to server since i am only 15 and dont have alot of > money to waste on this.

Also how much does FreeBSD cost and where could i > purchase it? hrm, :) Let me just explain a few things: 1) The problem with running www.yourdomain.com from home can be solved if you get what's called a "static IP address" from your internet provider. That means it doesn't change, and you most definetly want a perminent connection to the internet. Depending on your location a static IP and a dedicated connection can be dirt cheap, or terribly expensive. In Santa Clara it's costing me less than 70$/month for several static IPs and an 'ok' DSL line for bandwidth. When I was living in New York City, just getting a modem line with a static IP 24/7 would have cost me over 200$/month However, be aware, certain providers don't like you "serving" off your sites, you should check the terms of service. 2) Yes FreeBSD can serve web pages. 3) FreeBSD is Free ('Free' in FreeBSD) you can download it off the internet at http://www.freebsd.org/, however it's quite large the complete system can be about a gigabyte or more. (not that you need all of that) If you want to get it on CDrom, you can order it from Walnut Creek cdrom at http://www.cdrom.com/ it's about 60$ and that includes the CDroms, and a book detailing how it works. 4) You need books, a whole bunch, check out Amazon.com for books on the internet and such. 5) and if that web site you're planning on takes off, be sure to drop me an email, we have some nice hosting arrangments. :) -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@rush.net|bright@wintelcom.net] systems administrator and programmer Win Telecom - http://www.wintelcom.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 17 19: 1:19 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ares.flash.net (ares.flash.net [209.30.0.41]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4E6B814C36 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 19:01:12 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kingcoil@flash.net) Received: from mine (p9-111.atnt1.dialup.det1.flash.net [216.215.9.111]) by ares.flash.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id VAA02149 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 21:01:10 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <001c01beb936$dad4bc20$8b0ed7d8@mine> From: "Steve Silvi" To: Subject: stack underflow message Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 22:00:37 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0019_01BEB90C.D4D30D60" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2314.1300 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0019_01BEB90C.D4D30D60 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I am brand new to FreeBSD, having become completely digusted with the = Microsoft OS's.

This kind of crash is mighty hard to debug >though, since it doesn't leave anything to debug :) It is hard for me to know if _that_ (spontaneous reboot) is happening or not because (as I said earlier) I am _not_ configured to get panic dumps at present. The reason I am not so configured is that my physical memory is bigger than my swap partition. So it looks like I am SOL as far as getting a panic dump, even if the system _is_ panicing (which I am still not even sure of). A footnote: I made some modest changes to my heavy-load-inducing application program to prevent it from trying to initiate too many TCP connections during any given wall-clock second, and now everything appears to be running peachy again. I suspect that the earlier panics and/or spontaneous reboots I was seeing much have been due to _some_ very obscure kernel (or perhaps even CPU) bug that _only_ makes itself apparent under _very_ heavy interrupt loads. If short, when you push the envelope and go where no man has gone before, you are likely to find stuff that nobody has ever found before.

You're confusing run-time link paths with compile-time link paths. ldconfig is only used at runtime, to resolve shared library dependencies. -L flags on the gcc line are only used at link time, to resolve both shared and static library dependencies. ldconfig paths can be specified in /etc/rc.conf.

You need to have a static IP number, and you need to have a full time dedicated internet connection. It is possible to run a web server on a 56K analog modem, but if you get any kind of serious traffic at all, it will be very slow. If you have DSL in your area, that might be a good way to go, but DSL is very new, and only available in large metro areas right now (pluss a DSL modem will probably cost you about $400). Although service is pretty cheap, most internet providers will charge you quite a bit for running a web server. It is generally against their policy for you to do that unless you pay them more. So shop around. If you don't have DSL, your other option is ISDN, but that will probably run you quite a bit too. I don't have DSL yet where I live, and if I wanted 128K ISDN and a dedicated line, the whole thing would cost me about $300 a month. Also keep in mind that if you want to run a full time web server on your computer under FreeBSD, it will mean that you will not be able to run Windows on it at all. If you have office apps or like to play games that work under Windows, this is probably not an option unless you have a second computer. If you share the computer with the rest of your family, then this is definitely not an option. There are web servers out there that will run under Windows. There are even some very good ones out there for free that will work for an average site that isn't getting tons of hits. You might want to consider this before you jump to FreeBSD. Unless you already know Unix, the learning curve for setting up a web server under FreeBSD is going to be pretty steep. If all you want to do is run a personal web server, and you don't care about learning Unix, then you probably are better off staying with Windows and using something like OmniHTTP Professional, or Microsoft Personal Web Server, or Sambar. All of these web servers are free, and all will run under Windows 95 or 98. You can dowload them from www.tucows.com, and Microsoft Personal Web Server is available from Microsoft's web site. If on the other hand, you don't care about learning how to run a web server, and all you want is your own web page with your own domain name, you are far better off buying space from a hosting service. It will probably cost you $15-$25 a month, but no matter what, it will be a lot cheaper then running your own server. Mike.

Compiling a kernel with "options DDB" should dump you into the debugger if your kernel panics. So you should at least be able to tell the difference a panic and a spontaneous reboot. Of course, compiling a new kernel with different options might change the reproducability of the panic/reboot. -- Matthew Hunt * Inertia is a property http://www.pobox.com/~mph/ * of matter.

You used 'it' again and it^H^H^H this version is not really much more clear. That first line the original poster quoted would read better as, "Nfsiod runs on an NFS client machine to service asynchronous I/O requests to the client machine's server." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ As originially written, the 'its' is somewhat ambiguous.

I know that is what we are telling people but when you look at x.x-RELEASE/INSTALL.TXT for the last 4 or 5 releases you read the following FreeBSD requires a 386 or better processor to run (sorry, there is no support for '286 processors) and at least 5 megs of RAM to install and 4 megs of RAM to run. You will need at least 100MB of free hard drive space for the most minimal installation. See below for ways of shrinking existing DOS partitions in order to install FreeBSD. This was copied from the INSTALL.TXT that comes with 3.2R on ftp3.FreeBSD.ORG. It has the same specification in releases/i386/3.2-STABLE.

I know that "its" seems to refer to the client machine. What I'm confused about is what server on the client machine is supposed to be servicing requests. NFS client requests don't depend on any server on the client machine. My guess is that nfsiod takes ownership of one remote server and services requests from the client to that server, making "its server" refer to the server that nfsiod has taken "ownership" of. But that is just a guess. And yes, I think that once we do figure out what this means exactly someone should do a PR with better wording.... I can do it if no one else wants to.

I was asking about 32-bit transfers. According to the driver flags, DMA support (0x2000) and 32-bit transfer support (0x8000) are two different things. Or is it not possible to have 32-bit transfers without DMA? (I realize, of course, that the EIDE FAQ says 32-bit transfers are somewhat of a misnomer and aren't going to improve speed noticeably).

Now, I would think from a hardware end it should be as easy as plugging the right adapter into the terminal, run the other end of the wire into an adapter that nicely fits in the serial port of the FreeBSD machine. However, I go look at some FAQ and Handbook sources, and the term 'null-modem' comes up. Sometimes the context makes 'null-modem' sounds like what it says, null, nothing, nada. Other times, it sounds like a null-modem is either an adapter or special wire of some type. So, just what is a null-modem if it is anything at all? Oh, one thing tagged on here. There is no need for a 'regular' keyboard on this machine (or sc0, but I'll leave the card in there), but the BIOS likes to refuse to boot if no keyboard is hanging off of of the usual port. I was not able to find a way to turn that off in the BIOS setup (PhoenixBIOS). Anyone have a work-around for that? Or is there some obscurely named option in the BIOS setup to do that? (Just last night I was doing a RELEASE to STABLE build on a machine, and I forgot I had removed the keyboard before telling it to reboot the new kernel.

Pin 2 is transmit, 3 receive, 7 ground; so you've got: One end: Other end: TX 2 --------\/------------- 3 RX RX 3 --------/\------------- 2 TX Gr 7 ----------------------- 7 Ground Config your machine for software flow control (XON/XOFF) and it'll send ^S (XOFF) when it's buffer is full and ^Q (XON) when it's ready to receive again. If you don't have access to cables that you can hack/cut/modify, you'll need to buy one - any decent computer shop will have them. As for the BIOS, look for a "Halt On" option in the BIOS and change it to Halt On "No Errors" - "All Errors" is probably the default and "Keyboard" will probably be another option (checks for the presence of a keyboard). Halt on "No Errors" will allow the machine to boot without a keyboard attached. I don't know off the top of my head whether the Phoenix BIOS has this particular option or not. Good luck...

This is ALL on the client machine, it's how write caching is done. I think instead of thinking of a nfsiod binding to a particular server, they really bind to a _request_ until it's completed. Also note that steps 1 & 2 usually only occur when the system is started and the initial nfsiods are run. I'm up late and haven't read all the code involved here, so anyone with a more correct explanation would be appreciated. -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@rush.net|bright@wintelcom.net] systems administrator and programmer Win Telecom - http://www.wintelcom.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 18 1: 2: 2 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cygnus.rush.net (cygnus.rush.net [209.45.245.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6C39314F6E for ; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 01:02:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bright@rush.net) Received: from localhost (bright@localhost) by cygnus.rush.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id EAA29378; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 04:02:15 -0400 (EDT) Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 03:02:12 -0500 (EST) From: Alfred Perlstein To: Dean Hamstead Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: kernel config In-Reply-To: <005501beb95f$4f7a4f40$c20c29cb@supadad> 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 On Fri, 18 Jun 1999, Dean Hamstead wrote: > everyone is offcoarse awair of the nice happy menu system you get when > installing freebsd, that allows you to tell freebsd were hardware is.... > > visual editor -c or something is the comment in the kernel config file > > > how do i go about using it after i install my system??

There has been a study published by the Gartner Group some month ago illustrating that a web server running Apache on FreeBSD can handle about 50% more requests per time unit than Apache on Linux (identical hardware, of course). I think, the URL was http://advisor.gartner.com/n_inbox/hotcontent/hc_2121999_3.html, but it seems to be outdated now.

If so, be careful when installing it. I tried installing it on a machine with two other systems installed. It failed to install (looped trying to install drivers it didn't need). When I rebooted, I found that it had overwritten the Master Boot Record (which is silly, since it knew there were two other systems on the disk), and it also rewrote the partition table: it changed the numbers of the partitions. This is particularly difficult for FreeBSD, which has the partition number explicitly in the device name. In my case, FreeBSD was on partition 2, devices /dev/rwd0s2a and /dev/rwd0s2e. It was moved to partition 3, so the device names changed to devices /dev/rwd0s3a and /dev/rwd0s3e. Since I didn't have device nodes for these devices, I was unable to remount the root file system, and I had to use the fixit floppy to rewrite the partition table. Nothing got lost, but it was a real pain. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm almost afraid to mention ATAPI and CD-writer in the same sentence. An *extensive* search leads me to believe that FreeBSD and ATAPI writers are not friends at the moment - hopefully that will change soon. The common concensus (unanimous?) is that the burndata and burnaudio scripts in /usr/share/examples/atapi are the way to go for now. I've tried them, and they both work for me (quite nicely, actually). But only for writing single-session CDs. Has anybody used them for writing multisession CDs? Had any luck? When I try to write to a CD which has already had a session written to it, the dd command in the script fails with dd: /dev/racd0c: Input/output error The first session of the disk was fixated with the onp option, and my writer does support multisession (HP 8100). While I'm asking, does anybody know how one would extract the multisession information from a CD which has already had sessions written to it? The commonly-cited suggestion "cdrecord -msinfo" is not appropriate in this case, since the writer is not (and does not act like) SCSI. By the way, I'm running 3.2-RELEASE.

Nothing got lost, but it was a real pain. Thats the reason why I always use /dev/rwd0a etc, ie without the slicenumbers in it, that way it will always use the FreeBSD slice no matter what number is has gotten.

They're not as fussy as the strict slice names, and they look less System V.4-ish. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

I've never used UNIX before that (except at university and that was centuries ago). I've been strictly a DOS/Windows/NT person. My background is software design. From what I've seen of the way things are laid out in FreeBSD, I like it. The locations of the system files, the config files, and the binaries make sense. Once you learn the rules. Knowing Linux will probably help you more than it will hinder you. Just be prepared to accept that things are different. If I understand correctly, Linux is quite un-UNIX-like in several areas (I have no experience with Linux). It those differences which you'll have to get used to. > I have nothing against FreeBSD.

Not that this is any indication, but this box of mine is running apache (about 10 different web pages including the NZ FreeBSD mirror), sshd, sendmail, a few mailing lists, and ftp. It acts as a firewall/gateway. And it's never missed a beat. The uptime on my NT workstation is 30 days. Compare that to: $ uptime 11:13PM up 100 days, 6:08, 6 users, load averages: 1.00, 1.01, 1.00 And that's a 486 with 16M of RAM. Ride fast.

I'm just about to build my first 'production' box using 3.2 and have had a BT ISDN2e line installed so that my 'Net access is as fast as possible from home. My original gameplan was to use an ISDN router on my network, but having tried a Netgear RH348 router, which turned-out to be duff, I decided that as (a) routers are generally expensive and (b) FreeBSD has the goodies built-in, as I understand things, then using the o/s is probably a better and a cheaper way to go (learning curve aside!). As I see things I have two options: 1) Use an internal PCI 128K-capable ISDN card. If so, what type? The FreeBSD website doesn't offer any advice (at least, that I could find) for supported cards for EURO-ISDN. 2) Use an external TA. There's plenty of choice here, but, as I see things, if I use a 128K connection, the standard 16550A uart on a serial port will not be man enough, so a 230K-capable serial port will be needed. The question here then is: what type etc., etc. Any help here would be greatly appreciated, It seems that if I want to use Windoze or Linux then I'm covered, but FreeBSD .....

This is really a FAQ and Handbook entry (both make for an interesting reading).

I have run UnixWare since day 1 - when Novell bought it from USL. It had bad kernel code in version 1.1 - panic on every shutdown when it couldn't flush dirty pages. SCO cleaned that up but everything that used to be free on UW1.1 is now activated by a licence key and $$$. It's approx $795 to turn on anything (even netscape)... I run 2.1.2 on a production box - at least for now. (Moving to Slackware soon on this box...) The lamest implementation of Unix I've ever seen. Many conf tasks remain non-trivial as compared to BSD or Linux due to inexpertise on SCO's end...as the red Sytem Admin Handbook once stated (Neveth, Snyder et al.) SCO Unix* is `perverse'. An example of clumsiness: the sendmail.cf file that comes stock with 2.1.2 is for OpenServer hence all paths are wrong. And, for whatever reason SCO didn't see fit to build makemap so making a mailertable is tougher than it should be...on and on... I got UW 7 in the mail (kind of like America Online). It makes a lovely ashtray. (And you can rest a pint there as well!)

Furthermore, there is /etc/pwd.db, a binary version to allow faster access. /etc/passwd is readable for everyone, but doesn't contain encrypted passwords to raise system security. If you want to modify the password file, just enter `vipw'. This will invoke the editor of choice (set by environment variable EDITOR) or `vi' to edit the master password file (no problem to change the login shell). After leavong the editor, a syntax check is run, and the binary password file as well as /etc/passwd are rebuilt.

We're running FreeBSD 3.1, with a rebuilt kernel to support the multiport serial card. I have tried various configurations and rebuilds for getting the I/O port addresses correct, but none seem to work. I'm getting intialization errors during boot: sio4 configured irq 9 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio4 not found at 0x100 ... sio11 configured irq 9 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio11 not found at 0x11c Cany anyone please tell me what I might be doing wrong? I was able to set this up from one of the doc pages on the website, but alas, nothing seems to be working. Kernel configuration: device sio4 at isa? port 0x100 tty flags 0xb05 device sio5 at isa? port 0x104 tty flags 0xb05 device sio6 at isa? port 0x108 tty flags 0xb05 device sio7 at isa? port 0x10c tty flags 0xb05 device sio8 at isa? port 0x110 tty flags 0xb05 device sio9 at isa? port 0x114 tty flags 0xb05 device sio10 at isa? port 0x118 tty flags 0xb05 device sio11 at isa? port 0x11c tty flags 0xb05 irq 9 vector siointr Thank you.

I found the answer to my own question shortly after I sent this e-mail. It appears that the same login failures will just keep repeating until /var/log/messages is rotated. I should just not allow myself to send e-mails 1st thing in the morning. :^) BUT, now here's a question. Should it really be setup this way? I know some of the other periodic scripts just look for new items in the log files since the last time the script ran, shouldn't the login failures do something similar? -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher J.

There is plenty of room on your laptop for what you want to do. Could you, hopefully broken up into reasonable sentences and paragraphs, describe the EXACT steps that you went through that led you to believe that you erased your hard disk? You DID repartition (using fips or Partition Magic, e.g) your drive to leave room for both Windows 98 and FreeBSD both, right?

Your ISP appears to be using 3com modems. Offhand, maybe you might try disabling the V90 and just going for a Kflex connection. This will cut your speed quite a bit, but as a test, if you stay connected, then the V90 implementation for your modem might not be functioning correctly. If you have a windows partition hanging around you can try finding an updated flash for the modem. I think most are DOS based so executing it in FreeBSD may not be the best idea. Other than that try setting S10=50 or so. You can increase the number up to 254 to allow a temporary loss of carrier without disconnecting. Take a look at ipass tech support as well. They have a much better support page than most. www.ipass.net/support/x2v90.html 808hi.com/56k/x2-lucent.htm www.lucent.com/micro/K56flex/driver.html One last though, you might see if you can grab ATI11 while you are connected. Assuming that it is a lucent that will display some connectivity info that could be useful. James On Fri, 18 Jun 1999, Michael E.

I am using FreeBSD 3.2 and 10 Mbps Ethernet cards. Now I installed three 3Com Fast Ethernet 3C509B. Well, it works fine for some time. Then, after a while, it stops working and prints the following message. xl0: no memory for rx list It prints hundreds of times this message for the three cards. If I kill the interfaces and start them again, it works for a while. Is there a buffer I can alter to fix this problem? Probably in the file if_xl.c?

As far as I know, the isdn driver for BSD is not 128K capable yet, so if you absolutely need 128Kb/s you would have to go with an external TA.

I'm guessing that root-ness is getting eaten by telnetd. Or something.

I'm guessing login is checking the uid and not the euid of the process. It notices that the uid is yours (as a user) and pukes. It might work if you log in as root (not su) and then run it.

I recall being able to manually export a filesystem with exportfs, then mounting it on a remote machine. OSF/1 doesn't have exportfs, and in case BSD got rid of it place the filesystem in /etc/exports. On the remote machine, mount machine:/path So, for exporting /usr machine1# exportfs /usr machine2# mount machine1:/usr /mnt The alternative is to enter the following in machine1's /etc/exports /usr Then the mount on machine2 as above.

You'll want to read the exports man page to find out how to setup your /etc/exports file. Then you'll want to enable NFS in your /etc/rc.conf On the 'client' machine all you have to do to mount the NFS dir is mount -t nfs server:/dir /mount_point. These can also be added your /etc/fstab so that they are mounted at startup. A VERY simple /etc/exports that shares /usr to everyone on network 10.0.0.x would look like. /usr -network 10.0.0 In your fstab you would then have... (this is from memory and may not be 100%, as I'm not at home). server:/usr /mnt nfs rw 0 0 If you want to be able to mount a dir dir within a specific partition then you would need to add the -alldirs option to your /etc/exports file.

Date: March 24, 1997 In situations where you're behind a firewall, or across a dial-up line, there are times when you need to make sure that programs (such as sendmail) do not use the DNS at all. With version 8.8, you change the service switch file to omit "DNS" and use only NIS, files, and other map types as appropriate. With previous releases of version 8 sendmail, you need to recompile the binary and make sure that "NAMED_BIND" is turned off in src/conf.h. Note that you'll need to forward all your outbound mail to another machine as a "relay" (one that does use DNS, and understands how to properly use MX records, etc...), otherwise you won't be able to get mail to any site(s) other than the one(s) you configure in your /etc/hosts file (or whatever).

The reason I don't want to drop this into inetd.conf is that I don't want to leave this port open all the time for telnet access; just as an on-demand sort of thing. But if that's not possible . . . let's explore this a bit. So what I'd have to do, if I were pursuing this, would be to add the following to /etc/services goomba 8080/tcp # Special firewall login spigot goomba 8080/udp and then the following to /etc/inetd.conf goomba stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd -debug 8080 Would that be correct? | I'm guessing login is checking the uid and not the euid of the process.

Not sure I really want to do that. Maybe if I could log into a *specific* terminal, but I don't know how to do that.

The whole purpose of specifying the port in inetd.conf is so it knows what port to run the daemon on. So it should be... goomba stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd Now!, if security is an issue, install ssh, and force your friend to use ssh instead. Also (of course) make sure that you don't have any passwordless accounts, although there is an option in ssh to deny login for passwordless accounts. OR, you could configure telnetd with tcpwrappers and only allow telnets from his host. OR, you could setup ipfw or ipfilter and deny all traffic on port 8080 except from his host. So you see, you have several different way to approach this issue. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Ken McGlothlen [SMTP:mcglk@serv.net] > Sent: Friday, June 18, 1999 5:43 PM > To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: Trying to use telnetd. > > dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu (Doug White) writes: > > | mcglk@serv.net (that's me) writes: > | > Under 2.2.1-RELEASE [...], all he had to do was call me up, I'd su to > root > | > and run > | > > | > /usr/libexec/telnetd -debug 8080 > | > > | > and then he'd telnet to my machine, port 8080, and be on.

This is the output that it gives me FreeBSD% telnet 207.249.163.249 25 Trying 207.249.163.249... Connected to mail.megared.net.mx. Escape character is '^]'. After 25 seconds it returns this... 220-mail.megared.net.mx ESMTP Mail Server. 220-Ready on Fri, 18 Jun 1999 16:13:16 -0500 (CDT). 220 !!!Do Not Spam this Site or use it as a Relay Without Explicit Permission!! As I said this delay only occurs with the computers behind the NAT, and with the port 25 of this server, all other ports answer inmediately (to the telnet request for example port 23 and 110). But the computer that are not behind the NAT doesnt have this problem. BTW I have 2 more FreeBSD Servers, and both of them have the same behavior, this 2 servers are used for testing purposes and they are not configured specially as a mail server, they have the stock sendmail and the stock /etc/sendmail.cf. Its there some tweak thing to do, or what can I do to Fix it??? All my users are behind the NAT, and this behavior its going to be a very slow response for sending mail. PS. If you need more information, just tell me. BTW this is te real IP Address of the server, you could do a straight and reverse lookups if you want, I have allready done this and its working fine.

You just had to use fdisk and make the OS/2 boot manager partition the active and it would have worked.

SO.. lets say your file system consists of partitions mounted on /, /usr, /var If you have the below /etc/exports. when someone tries to cd to /usr they will see an empty directory. You have 2 choices depending upon what exactly you want to do. (I don't believe you need the maproot btw). / -network 192.168.0 /usr -network 192.168.0 /var -network 192.168.0 Now, here's the thing. You may not need the -alldirs option. Again, lets assume that you have /, /usr, and /var. What happens is without the -alldirs option, you can't specifically mount to a dir under the mount point, e.g. you can't mount /usr/local/etc, you have to mount /usr. You can still cd to /usr/local/etc just can't specifically mount to it. (Hope this makes sense). You don't need the -maproot because root is root. -maproot would be useful if you wanted to give a specific "non-root" user root access to that NFS share. Such as -maproot=foo, would give user foo root access to that file system. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: vagner@WWW.TIMANDPATRICK.COM [SMTP:vagner@WWW.TIMANDPATRICK.COM] > Sent: Friday, June 18, 1999 5:49 PM > To: Christopher Michaels > Subject: RE: sharing drives > > I want to mount the whole drive on another machine and have > read and write permissions like anyone else. > > can i do this on the server > > / -alldirs -maproot=root 192.168.0 > > > > On 18-Jun-99 Christopher Michaels wrote: > > NFS is actually pretty easy.

I was reading a page in the FAQ 13.2. How do I make my own custom release? http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ242.html I am a little confused by this, why the prefex and base as they are, can I not use my sources in /usr/src/ ? I realize that I don't usually grab the www, and doc-all targets, and I can grab those. By re-reading this it appears that I need to grab my ports and dump them in by cvs tree also, is this correct. Basically what I'm asking, is, if I already have a good chunk of what I need in /usr/src, why can't I grab the extra little bit, put it in /usr/src (via cvsup), or can I? ________________________________________________ Christopher J.

Essentially, each device that loads up and appears in the dmesg output is the device as a whole. When dmesg shows acd0 that is the cdrom drive that is being recognized. CDROMs are simple after that in the sense that all it takes to access them is to access by acd0a or acd0c. What I included below with wcd0c is actually the same device as a symbolic link. With hard drives they have subsequent slice and partition entries that you have to consider before mounting them. If you have the money, Greg Lehey covers this very extensively in the opening chapters of The Complete FreeBSD. Hopefully, too, somebody will pick this up and give a better run down of it.

It's going to be a verry busy server with quite a load. So I am a bit sceptic (SP?) of using "the latest of the latest", but at the same time I do not want to miss out on any mayor improvements! So I figured I'd play it safe and ask. Should I go ahead and use 3.2-stable? or should I hang back and use 2.2.8, just in case something sliped through on the 3.2 release? Any advice will be greatly apreciated, Thanks.

That might be helpful, _if_ the system had a monitor on it and *if* I was seated somewhere in the general vicinity of that monitor. But the system normally has no monitor attached to it, and even if it did, I would still be attempting to view that from a distance of in excess of 2,000 statute miles.

I will probably ask more questions later? Before you do anything else, be very sure that the data is really gone. It could be something as simple as a changed Master Boot Record, in which case your data is still all there, but if you continue you may yet overwrite it. But, as has already been said, you need to describe what you did. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

To switch them back you have to take the DES libs back off, and that can get delicate. (I think passwd on -CURRENT actually preserves the crypt type.)

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. In- evitably, 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 book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD 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/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 199111 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.txt Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition -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 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 netscape to read the handbook. If you don't have X running yet, use lynx. Both of these programs are included on the CD-ROM. To install them, enter: # pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/netscape-communicator-4.5.tgz or # pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/lynx-2.8.1.1.tgz The numbers after the name (4.5 and 2.8.1.1) may change after this book has been printed. Use ls to list the names if you can't find these particular versions. Note that lynx is not a complete substitute for netscape: since it is text- only, it is not capable of displaying the large majority of web pages correctly. It will suffice for reading most of the handbook, however. Thanks to Stuart Henderson and 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 104 ________ The examples at the bottom of the page and the top of the next page specify the wrong directory (/usr). It should be /usr/X11R6. Replace the examples with: For a full install, choose /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz. If you are using sh, enter: # cd /usr/X11R6 # for i in /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz; do # tar xzf $i # done If you are using csh, enter: % cd /usr/X11R6 % foreach i (/cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz) % tar xzf $i % end For a minimal installation, first choose a server archive corresponding to your VGA board. If table 8-2 on page 103 doesn't give you enough information, check the server man pages, starting on page 1545, which list the VGA chip sets supported by each server. For example, if you have an ET4000 based board you will use the XF86_SVGA server. In this case you would enter: # cd /usr/X11R6 # tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331SVGA.tgz substitute your server name here # for i in bin fnts lib xicf; do # tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331$i.tgz # done Page 7 Install ports when installing the system If you are using csh, enter: % cd /usr/X11R6 % tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331SVGA.tgz substitute your server name here % foreach i (bin fnts lib xicf) % tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/$i % end Thanks to Manuel Enrique Garcia Cuesta for pointing out this one. 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 Page 8 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition name. In particular, the Logitech protocol only applies to older Logitech 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 # mount /usr mount /usr file system (if separate) # passwd root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup If you have a separate /usr file system (the normal case), you need to mount it as well, since the passwd program is in the directory /usr/bin. 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 Page 9 Install ports when installing the system 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. 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: Page 10 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 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. Page 11 Install ports when installing the system Thanks to Lars Koller for drawing this to my attention. 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 169 ________ Replace the last paragraph on the page with: The standard solution for these problems is to relocate the /tmp file system to a different directory, say /usr/tmp, and create a symbolic link from /usr/tmp to /tmp--see , page *******, for more details. Thanks to Charlie Sorsby for drawing this to my attention. Page 176 ________ Add the following paragraph 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 Page 12 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 180 ________ The example in the middle of the page should read: For example, to generate a second set of 32 pseudo-terminals, enter: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV pty1 You can generate up to 256 pseudo-terminals. They are named ttyp0 through ttypv, ttyq0 through ttyqv, ttyr0 through ttyrv, ttys0 through ttysv, ttyP0 through ttyPv, ttyQ0 through ttyQv, ttyR0 through ttyRv and ttyS0 through ttySv. To create each set of 32 terminals, use the number of the set: the first set is pty0, and the eighth set is pty7. Note that some processes, such as xterm, only look at ttyp0 through ttysv. Thanks to Karl Wagner for pointing out this error. Page 197, first line ____________________ The text of the first full sentence reads: Page 13 Install ports when installing the system The first name, up the the symbol, is the label. In fact, it should read: 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: As we saw above, the line printer daemon lpd is responsible for printing spooled jobs. By default it isn't started at boot time. 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 for more details of /etc/rc.conf. Another line in /etc/rc.conf refers to the line printer daemon: lpd_flags="" # Flags to lpd (if enabled). You don't normally need to change this line. See the man page for lpd for details of the flags. Thanks to Tommy G. James for bringing this to my attention. Page 14 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Page 231 ________ Replace the first line of the example with: 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 ________ 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: # 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 15 Install ports when installing the system 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. 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 16 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 such a system, you must brand the executable using the program brandelf. For example, to brand the StarOffice program swriter3, you would enter: Page 17 Install ports when installing the system # 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: www IN CNAME freebie ftp IN CNAME presto In other words, there should be a space between CNAME and the system name. Page 18 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 book. o Line 3 is a broadcast ntp message. We looked at ntp on page 160. Page 19 Install ports when installing the system 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. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for drawing this to my attention. Page 20 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 important: many Microsoft implementations of TCP/IP are inefficient and establish a new TCP more often than necessary. Select the socket options Page 21 Install ports when installing the system TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up the response time of such applications by over 95%.

I wonder how it's doing it I'd be curious to know. The Fujitsu solution is pretty space-inefficient -- two lines per card for what looks like an 8" tall card.

[.....] Here's the clue (from platone.log): Jun 18 17:11:11 platone ppp.old[334]: tun0: Async: 97 04 80 01 97 04 80 c4 00 00 ce 54 7b 01 00 00 Jun 18 17:11:11 platone ppp.old[334]: tun0: Async: 8f 61 6a 37 d2 0d 00 00 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f Jun 18 17:11:11 platone ppp.old[334]: tun0: Async: 10 12 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 20 21 Jun 18 17:11:11 platone ppp.old[334]: tun0: Async: 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 Jun 18 17:11:11 platone ppp.old[334]: tun0: Async: ReadFromModem Jun 18 17:11:11 platone ppp.old[334]: tun0: Async: 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 Jun 18 17:11:11 platone ppp.old[334]: tun0: Async: ReadFromModem Jun 18 17:11:11 platone ppp.old[334]: tun0: Async: 94 7a 7e Jun 18 17:11:39 platone ppp.old[334]: tun0: Command: /dev/tty: close If you look at the server log, you'll see that it's sending standard ping packets with incrementing numbers in the packets. This packet is mysteriously missing 0x11 & 0x13 - ^Q and ^S. This means that the data being transmitted by pitagora is dropping these characters (after it reports them as being sent). Looking at the data travelling the other way, the problem isn't there. The answer ? Try to figure out how to get pitagora to keep doing hardware flow control (I presume this is the end doing the fax answering). If it can't, the modem is broken (my USR Sportster does this ok - and it's a pretty cheap modem). This'll have to be done with the AT commands before setting the modem to fax/data answer mode as you have no control after the modem picks up - *but* you may get better mileage from mgetty (it may actively know how to turn on hardware flow control after seeing the RING and before doing the ATA). I'm not really sure though. The workaround ? Do a ``set accmap 000a0000'' and a ``set ctsrts off'' in pitagora's ppp.conf. This'll convince ppp to dodge sending these packets on both sides and will tell pitagora to talk software flow control to the modem. Note, in this case, the client side is now smart enough to know not to send the ^Qs and ^Ss because the server side has the appropriate accmap. Older versions of ppp didn't, and require the accmap setting locally too. -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !

I found that with Sendmail too. They forgot about makemap, as I said. They also didn't include any m4 macros. And so on. And trying to conf UUCP over TCP is also quite a bit of fun.

Well, I can't comment on UW 7 and its licencing scheme but on 2.1.2 Netscape Fast Track expires and then demands a cash infusion. Similarly, I got DOS Merge for about 30 days before he expired.

It is one system as opposed to the soup that is UnixWare. USL, Novell and now SCO. UW is the quintessential white elephant and it shows. Maybe UW 7 is better but I stopped caring awhile back. BSD is our choice for mail servers and Slackware is my option for my PostgreSQL servers...it is very obvious to me (using Slackware since 2.3) that Patrick is ultra scrupulous about testing everything before he issues a new release.

How about case and hard disk temperature? Sudden reboots are *rarely* software caused under FreeBSD. The kernel keeps tabs on itself and will panic() accordingly, allowing you to get a dump. If it reboots abruptly, most likely you have flakey/failing hardware.

Did you use the port? This is a common Linux-ism. Linux masks all FPU exceptions by default, where FreeBSD does not. The offending calls simply need to be bracketed with fpgetmask()/fpsetmask() calls.

First - make sure your X11 config (XF86Config) has: Protocol "SysMouse" Device "/dev/sysmouse" if you're going to use moused. But - there are further problems with using moused & 3-button mice. I found that there were two solutions (work-arounds) for me: 1) Don't run moused and let X11 get the mouse - it will do the right thing. 2) If you want to use moused on a mouse that actually has 3 buttons - be sure to *not* put the -3 on the moused command line. It's interesting to note that X11 seems to be able to have the Emulate3Buttons option in X11Config and properly handle both a two button mouse and three button mouse - moused seems to get confused. I went for option #1... In my XF86Config, I have: Protocol "PS/2" Device "/dev/psm0" and I have moused disabled in /etc/rc.conf. That works well for my 3-button PS/2 mouse. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 18 18:19:26 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from dominus.ma.ultranet.com (d41.dial-2.cmb.ma.ultra.net [209.6.65.41]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 173B214C56 for ; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 18:19:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from moncrg@bt340707.res.ray.com) Received: from bt340707.res.ray.com (dominus.ma.ultranet.com [127.0.0.1]) by dominus.ma.ultranet.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA00907; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 21:17:46 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from moncrg@bt340707.res.ray.com) Message-ID: <376AEFB8.9ADC5307@bt340707.res.ray.com> Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 21:17:44 -0400 From: Greg Moncreaff Reply-To: moncrg@ma.ultranet.com Organization: Raytheon Systems Company - Comm/Cmnd/Cntrl & Integration X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Johan Kruger Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Gnome startup in .xinitrc References: <3768B1FE.F94A12F@nanoteq.co.za> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG exec gnome-wm Johan Kruger wrote: > > In my $HOME/.xinitrc file i specified > startkde > and kde worked, or fvwm and fvwm worked. > > What must i specify in .xinitrc to start Gnome windowmanager ? > > I dont have a binary startgnome or gnome or whatever ? > I run FreeBSD 3.1 - Release with the 3.1 packages from where i > added all the gnome packages. > Now only to start it ? -- Disclaimer: "this is my personal opinion and not that of my employer" R:RSC:C3I:SEL:E3/USA:MA:01752-0388/+1.508.490.2048:fax 2086/42N,71W To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 18 18:44:48 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cygnus.rush.net (cygnus.rush.net [209.45.245.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C0F9514CD3 for ; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 18:44:39 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bright@rush.net) Received: from localhost (bright@localhost) by cygnus.rush.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id VAA26388; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 21:45:13 -0400 (EDT) Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 20:45:11 -0500 (EST) From: Alfred Perlstein To: fgsa dafgg Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: your mail In-Reply-To: <19990618203202.23110.rocketmail@web1105.mail.yahoo.com> 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 On Fri, 18 Jun 1999, fgsa dafgg wrote: > Hello, > I have been trying to set up NFS on my 3.1 box > but am finding it diffucalt to get it to work.

The machine is basically a test client for some networking experiments. Since many/most clients on an operational system will be Win-boxes, I figured I'd preserve a working Win95 partition to run tests from (I usually nuke whole disks when I get my paws on an old machine at the office). However, my Win95/DOS partition looks broken in someway. The problem is that it will not boot. I get a 'Invalid system disk' (or the like) error when I try to boot off of DOS (F1 from BootEasy). I can mount the DOS partition just fine when FreeBSD is running. I tossed in a MS-DOS bootable floppy, and I could read C: when I booted off of it.

DOS's fdisk doesn't let you unset an active partition, and won't let you set one on Drive 1. FreeBSD fdisk will only let you set a partition # 1,2,3 or 4 active. There's only one partition on the drive, it's already active, and I can't figure out how to unset it. Result of running DOS's fdisk /mbr: no more OS chooser menu; boots straight to FreeBSD partition (wd0s2) /stand/sysinstall's implementation of fdisk and the boot loader installer is downright fucked for post-install configurations, and the help screens are no help. No matter how I go about it, it always keeps throwing me back into the fdisk screen. If someone is in charge of this part of /sysinstall, contact me (ICQ 31695219 if I'm on) and we'll walk through all the problems together; they're too much to try to list here. Anyway, I am able to get the OS chooser portion of the boot loader installed again via a certain method, but I am right back where I started: F1 DOS = beep F2 FreeBSD = beep F5 Drive 0 = next menu F1 DOS = boot to DOS (wd0s1) F2 FreeBSD = boot to FreeBSD (wd0s2) F5 Drive 1 = mysterious prompt ".....Boot 2>." and hang Bloody hell.

Warehouse chain. I can't use that to develop UnixWare software. In fact, I *did* install (Debian) Linux on the system, just to make sure that it wasn't some silly boot problem. I also installed NetBSD, all on the same partition (overwriting the previous ones, of course). NetBSD had the nicest install, but Debian was alright as well, though it's a pain that Linux needs one (Microsoft) partition per file system or swap. Both NetBSD and Linux installed and booted fine. They also booted from CD-ROM, while UnixWare required no fewer than 3 boot floppies, which had to be made from the CD-ROM.

However, I don't think he is. And in that case, I don't see how local or remote would make much difference. Here're the steps I see (assuming the second disk is slice '1' and partition 'g' mounted at /usr/home), 1) Backup the second drive. I /assume/ you have enough space for the whole second drive in _one_ partition of the first? I'll assume that you are playing this risky and are tight for space, # dump -a0 -f - /usr/home | gzip > /usr/tmp/dump_da1.gz # umount /usr/home 2) OK, now, my preference is to edit a disklabel file, edit it, then read the edited version back in. (You might even make the new label as the first step in the whole process.) # disklabel -r da1 > da1.dsklbl # your-favorite-editor da1.dsklbl In the editor, make the new halved partitions. Let's call the new one 'h'. Double-check the new label is correct. Triple-check. Now write the label, # disklabel -R -r da1 da1.dsklbl 3) OK, kewl, you have a new label... BUT this next step is the destructive one from which there is no turning back! # newfs /dev/da1s1g # newfs /dev/da1s1h 4) Whoo! Shiny new partitions on drive 1! Now, let's restore the one that was there before, # mount /dev/da1s1g /usr/home # cd /usr/home # gunzip -c /usr/tmp/usr.home_da1.dmp | restore -rf - 5) OK, now the matter of your new /tmp. The current /tmp might have important files, and some disruption might be unavoidable if we move them. But a reboot is a big disruption too. # mv /tmp /oldtmp # mkdir tmp # mount /dev/da1s1h /tmp # cd /tmp # tar cf - -C /oldtmp . | tar xf - # rm -rf /oldtmp 6) OK, almost done! Just add a line to the /etc/fstab to mount your new /tmp at startup. Oh, and we have that whole big backup of the old drive, 'rm /usr/tmp/usr.home_da1.dmp'. OK... Now I did not see a need to reboot anywhere in there. But as I mentioned, moving /tmp can break things that have open files there, a reboot might not be too bad of an idea depending on just what this box does and is running. Did I miss anything? And was that what you were asking? :) -- Crist J.

IMO, if its in a commercial ISP environment or medium-to-large corporate intranet environment, then FreeBSD has the robustness and performance to be a better choice than Linux. In a smaller scale environment either works well. The two can coexist on a machine, so install them both and try them. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."

I have tried to assemble ppp-related information form freebsd.org and awfulhak.org by reading handbook and faq. I use FreeBSD 3.2R. The version of the ppp is 2.11 dated 05/02/99, I suppose. Also, CHAT error logging is enabled. My isp uses chap. What I got from running "ppp -alias demand" is a error message stating that CHAT script failed. The pnp modem (3com sportster v.90) is assigned to sio2 with irq3, so I set /dev/cuaa2. While using "term" command on ppp, it says "OK" when "at" command is executed. In ppp.log, it says "connected," but never physically connected because I did not hear any modem tone at all. Thank you for your help. Here is the contents of files. Both demand and interactive configs are the same. ifconfig -a -------------------------------------- lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8011 mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ------------------------------------- ppp.conf ----------------------------------------- # # default: set log Phase Chat Connect Carrier lcp ipcp ccp command set device /dev/cuaa2 set speed 115200 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0M0 OK-AT-OK\\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set redial 3 10 # # Interactive mode configuration # interactive: set authname my_id set authkey my_passwd set phone 123-4567 set timeout 300 set openmode active accept chap set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0 add 0 0 127.2.2.2 # # Automatic mode configuration # demand: set authname my_id set authkey my_passwd set phone 123-4567 set timeout 300 set openmode active accept chap set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0 add 0 0 127.2.2.2 # # # # End of ppp.conf --------------------------------------------------- ppp.linkup -------------------------------------------- # # demand: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR # # # Other configuratrion MYADDR: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR # # # End of /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup ------------------------------------------- ppp.log ------------------------------------------ Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Phase: Using interface: tun0 Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Phase: deflink: Created in closed state Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: default: set device /dev/cuaa2 Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: default: set speed 115200 Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: default: set dial ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 "" ATE1Q0M0 OK-AT-OK\dATDT\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: default: set redial 3 10 Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: demand: set authname tetsuya1 Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: demand: set authkey ******** Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: demand: set phone 332-7626 Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: demand: set timeout 300 Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: demand: set openmode active Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: demand: accept chap Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: demand: set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0 Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Command: demand: add 0 0 127.2.2.2 Jun 18 21:33:01 desert ppp[273]: Phase: PPP Started (interactive mode).

Thanks, There is a third edition of this book out, and you should really get a copy if you're going to do any DNS administration. Also, you should NEVER install a new version of something so mission critical as BIND if you're not going to read the upgrade documentation. This situation is mentioned prominently.

I've set up a FreeBSD 3.1 system to dial into the Internet for me. Next to it is an NT box with the same purpose. They have identical modems (Courier I, ISDN modems). When I dial on the NT box it takes six seconds from [Ok] to *beep*--I'm in. Hanging up takes three seconds, from [yes] to *beep*--I'm gone. These times don't vary much even if I connect and disconnect a few times in a row. After a clean reboot the FreeBSD box (starting up ppp -auto uunet from the rc.local file) will also connect in the same six seconds. Disconnecting happens even faster than on the NT box. However, this is when it goes wrong. Reconnecting takes minutes, literally. Even in interactive mode I see the same problem: I dial in after a reboot: I'm in. "down; dial" causes an expect timeout on the string "CONNECT", and I cannot get a successful dial for minutes. Terminal mode just freezes when I enter it after going down. I have the feeling the modem needs to be reset after going down. However, I don't know what to do and where. Adding ATZ's and ATH's to the dial string seems to have no effect. Does anyone know what I am missing? Thanks for your input. Kees Jan PS. Please CC me, as I'm not on the mailing list. PPS.

"down; dial" causes an expect timeout on the string "CONNECT", and I Don't use ``down'' unless you think the connection is hung. I would suspect that when you redial, your ISP is trying to determine if you're already connected. As you're using ``down'', the old connection is still established on the ISP side and the delay is probably some sort of response timeout on the original connection. Try using ``close'' instead. > cannot get a successful dial for minutes.

I'm running a DNS server for my internal LAN..but I do not want people on the outside using it. Will using IPFW to block INCOMING tcp/udp to port 53 prevent DNS from working? 2. I understand how you block an IP and even a CLASS C...but what about a DOMAIN? Here's what I mean specifically. Let's say I want to DENY a BIG site from accessing my machines. Let's for example use microsoft.com. Well simply IPFW deny'ing microsoft.com, will get only 1 of their Class C's..when microsoft.com has tons of IP Blocks.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm currently doing an FTP install of a Micron P133 system. I suspect I've got one of the 'bad' BIOS's that won't deal with FreeBSD. Just hoping for some confirmation. The system: Micron P133 Millenia MB Phoenix BIOS V4.04 (Flashed to the most recent version) Adaptec 2940AU SCSI controller BIOS V1.30 Seagate ST15230N HD Iomega 1G Jaz Iomega 100M Zip Plextor CD-ROM 6x There are no other OS's on this system. I've tried all reasonable combinations of dedicated/partition geometries on the drive. I've tried with DOS/Other > 1 GB drive support in both the system and SCSI BIOS. W95/98 both install fine on this machine, so I don't suspect hardware. In all cases the install process works without apparent problems. It looks like all hardware detects correctly. With any setup that includes a 'dangerously dedicated' drive, the system fails to find the HD on reboot and reports 'Read Error' until a floppy is inserted. With a config that includes a non dedicated setup, the boot loader starts, with the choices: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 0 Default: F1 Selecting either results in a keyboard beep. Waiting for a timeout produces nothing. If anyone has any ideas, can confirm this is a BIOS problem, or sees something I've missed, I'd appreciate a heads up.

All of the files that a regular cvsup would have, are also in the CVS that I downloaded, aren't they? Is there some why I can just use those instead, or do I have to setup a cvsup server on my machine and then use cvsup locally to synchronize my /usr/src directory? Thanks for any help provided. P.S.

Hmmm, I have been avoiding a M$ solution. It's well known that Win9x will over-write boot blocks without asking and other Bad Things. I assume that this 'restoration' of my Win9x OS is going to clobber BootEasy and I'll need to be ready to reinstall it? This is getting a little off topic, but how do I use this 'sys' utility? Is it on a Win95 boot floppy (there are such beasts, right?)? Because the system in question does not have a bootable CDROM, and my first impulse to get at this 'sys' would be a Windoze95 CDROM. -- Crist J.

I redug into the installation guides on the CD, and on the website, and all I've ever found was 5 to install, and 4 to run minimum. Perhaps during hardware probe a check could be implemented, and if there isn't enough to install, an error message should display. Just a thought. Anyway, I appreciate the help, its working fine now.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I know this is a FreeBSD list, but this will probably be of interest to people here anyway. Has anyone seen Microsoft's report on the independant study that was done on the performance of NT vs Linux? According to their charts, graphs etc, NT blew Linux away in both file server and web server performance. I bring this up because unless there is a serious performance difference between Linux and FreeBSD, these test results would probably apply to FreeBSD as well.. I think the test was done by PC Magazine (hardly independant in my way of thinking since they recieve big advertising $ from Microsoft.). My question is this: What did PC Magazine do to the poor Linux box in order to manipulate the test results in this manner? I can't see how these results could possibly have been obtained using fair testing. Did they compile the biggest, most bloate kernel they possibly could for Linux? Did they optimize the kernel for a 386? They had to have done something. There is simply no way these tests could be valid if the test was done in a fair and unbiased manner. Here is the web page where this article is located: http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/exec/compares/ntlinux.asp I guess the good news to this is that Microsoft wouldn't be publishing this article if they weren't a little nervous that Linux and to a lesser extent, FreeBSD are starting to erode their stronghold on the server market.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Folks: I'm looking at the 'ipfw forward' mechanism, hoping to use it to automatically route packets on my firewall's port 80 to an internal web server's port 80. From what I see in mailing list archives, many people have got exactly this situation working correctly. I can't seem to figure out what I've done wrong. The firewall is configured with ed0 as the external interface and de0 as the internal interface to the 10.0.0.x network. natd is running on ed0. Web browsing, email, etc. all work fine from the internal network. The 3.2-STABLE kernel has the appropriate IPFIREWALL DIVERT, FORWARD, etc. directives in it. When I send a request to port 80, the firewall's kernel says: gateway /kernel: ipfw: 1200 Forward to 10.0.0.1:80 TCP 10.0.0.1:35188 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:80 in via de0 Which is correct, right? But 'snoop' on the (Solaris) web server shows no packets arriving; Apache logs show nothing as well. Can anyone point me to the (hopefully obvious) blunder? I thought perhaps some other firewall rule was killing the forwarded packets, but my firewall configuration logs all denied packets -- and no such denial messages ever appear. (By the way, it appears there is an entirely separate mechanism that offers the same functionality: the natd -redirect_port feature. This doesn't work for me either.) Firewall rules attached below.

Give the installer 12MB of memory or more and it installs fine. My problem is with the documentation, which I think is out of date. If the documentation has 5MB to install and you need 12MB, then the ERRATA.TXT should have that in it and the documentation upgraded in the future. I could not find anything including the jewel box inserts that have the memory requirement of 12MB or more specified. You might consider doing a send-pr on the issue. I have asked how to get the requirement upgraded and do a send-pr was the response. I have thought about doing that but my smallest simm is 8MB and that makes my minimum memory installation 16MB. I can't personally do a send-pr because I can't make it fail in my environment. A send-pr would get the documentation upgraded. It wouldn't be so bad if the installer had produced an insufficient memory message as you suggested. It simply hangs or produces some other non-descript failure. You have to find out about the real memory requirements from a current user.

I have tried to compile and run XMMS (aka the new version of X11Amp) on my FreeBSD 3.2-Stable system. Compiling is no problem (after installing GTK+ 1.2.3 and glib 1.2.3). The problem is actually running it. What happens is that the application only runs sporadically, and in between sits there in suspended animation. Playing songs is done in small burst. I have a Soundblaster AWE32 setup like the Sabatier docs says. During boot the cards is detected seemingly ok (all features like Soundblaster 16, MPU-401, OPL3 and EMU8000 support is detected). Also, I can run amp and mpg123 without any problems.

I do know that MSI (MicroStar) has released a PPGA->Slot1 converter with a jumper that connects the pins. All you have to do is use two PPGA celerons and two of these converters and it works.

I've tried all reasonable combinations of dedicated/partition geometries on the drive. I've tried with DOS/Other > 1 GB drive support in both the system and SCSI BIOS. W95/98 both install fine on this machine, so I don't suspect hardware. I have a Micron Millennia and it came with a Phoenix 4.04 BIOS. That particular BIOS (M54HI on my system) has real problems but I thought they were only with IDE drives. Revision 11 was supposed to take care of the Y2K problems. Micro Firmware has an upgrade to Phoenix 4.05 for the Micron Millennia that gets rid of most of the IDE problems such as IDE drives larger than 4GB and introduces additional PCI features. It is item number M5HS10 and costs $79. The have other products for BIOSes other than the M54HI. I have had BIOS'es that won't deal with dangerously dedicated drives but have no problem with the DOS mbr. They would not boot past the BIOS drive check at startup, which is perfomed immediately after the memory check. It seemed to be an interaction with S.M.A.R.T and the HD. Yours isn't accepting either MBR. That model Hawk 4 has 3992 cylinders, 19 heads, and 110 sectors and I kind of wonder if you are bumping into the 1023 cylinder problem.

If you want real performance grab a Intel EtherExpress Pro card, or a 3com card (as a second choice). Ditch the hub, hubs only give you half duplex, basically you can't transmit and send at the same time, this can kill performance, pick up a switch, preferably a cisco or 3com, maybe even a Bay, but I've heard bad things about Bay. At home on my machines all Intel NICs i can get over 10MB/sec, it's worth the extra 30-40$ for both speed and reliability. (I have a Hawking 8port 100mbit switch, but I wouldn't recommend it as it sometimes doens't comeback from a power cycles unless I cycle it many times... blech, then again it was only 219$) In production we use Intel cards almost exclusively along with cisco switches. -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@rush.net|bright@wintelcom.net] systems administrator and programmer Win Telecom - http://www.wintelcom.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 19 13:59:13 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cygnus.rush.net (cygnus.rush.net [209.45.245.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4ECAC14FF6 for ; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 13:59:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bright@rush.net) Received: from localhost (bright@localhost) by cygnus.rush.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id QAA07388; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 16:59:42 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 15:59:41 -0500 (EST) From: Alfred Perlstein To: Joachim =?iso-8859-1?Q?Str=F6mbergson?= Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Problems running xmms on FreeBSD 3.2 In-Reply-To: <376BF570.55BF28C7@ludd.luth.se> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Sat, 19 Jun 1999, Joachim [iso-8859-1] Str=F6mbergson wrote: > Tja! >=20 > I have tried to compile and run XMMS (aka the new version of X11Amp) on > my FreeBSD 3.2-Stable system.

I know FreeBSD will spit out all kinds of weird errors when the drives aren't jumpered properly, it's really annoying how a bios will not even complain when things are mis-wired and happily boot you into a broken system. You could be correct about it being off though, checking both would be a good idea as well as your previous suggestion about adding options ATAPI options ATAPI_STATIC to the kernel, good call. -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@rush.net|bright@wintelcom.net] systems administrator and programmer Win Telecom - http://www.wintelcom.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 19 15: 1:27 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mgd.maxcalvo.net (unknown [206.80.218.244]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 67EF414DA2 for ; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 15:01:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mcalvo@maxcalvo.net) Received: from p200mmxntwks (fdsl89.phnx.uswest.net [209.181.96.89]) by mgd.maxcalvo.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id PAA00321 for ; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 15:10:07 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from mcalvo@maxcalvo.net) Message-ID: <02ac01beba9f$51768200$5960b5d1@maxcalvo.net> From: "Max Calvo" To: Subject: makign web pages load fast Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 15:01:41 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2014.211 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2014.211 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear BSDers; I have been running Apache for several months, however, I need to improve the performance of Apache.

I want my web pages to load as fast as Yahoo! web > pages. Also, I 'need t o track the hits per pages in my server. First, how do you measure "fast". Are you measuring the wall-clock time that a page and all its consituants take to load? From where? I imagine you aren't talking about loading the pages locally. This is usually faster since no communication links are used. And when you are measuring foreign load times one needs to consider network topology. If I load a page off Yahoo from a site which is linked via an OC3 line to Yahoo, load times will be minimal. If we are talking 40 hops from site foo to Yahoo, some of these using routers from the 1940's then things will be much slower. So to get any meaningful help here, I think you should clarify the environment you are using to measure performance. Some general guidelines can be offered for speeding up access. Most of which fall under the category of limiting the amount of data transferred. Given X bytes of data, I don't see apache taking considerably longer than Yahoo. I don't believe that Yahoo is a single machine, so having N servers will make Yahoo faster. On the other hand, you probably don't have 6000 people pounding on your machine. For the record, I run apache and am quite happy with its performance. Hits for a page can be tracked by grepping the apache log files, then using wc. If you want to track an entire tree, I would write a perl script to count the hits. This is a good use for associative arrays. page[url]++ Jon Doran To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 19 15:18:38 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mailgw01.execpc.com (mailgw01.execpc.com [169.207.2.78]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7807114DA2 for ; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 15:18:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bellefso@execpc.com) Received: from pop00.execpc.com (pop00.execpc.com [169.207.1.114]) by mailgw01.execpc.com (8.9.1) id RAA07457; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 17:18:29 -0500 Received: from packfan (pern-2-143.mdm.mkt.execpc.com [169.207.90.209]) by pop00.execpc.com (8.8.8) id RAA08702; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 17:18:25 -0500 From: "Brian's Mail" To: "Alfred Perlstein" Cc: "FreeBSD Questions" Subject: RE: Performance Tuning Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 17:19:33 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) In-Reply-To: X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2014.211 Importance: Normal Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, At this point I can't afford to get a Cisco or Intel switch.

If you want real performance grab a Intel EtherExpress Pro card, or a 3com card (as a second choice). Ditch the hub, hubs only give you half duplex, basically you can't transmit and send at the same time, this can kill performance, pick up a switch, preferably a cisco or 3com, maybe even a Bay, but I've heard bad things about Bay. At home on my machines all Intel NICs i can get over 10MB/sec, it's worth the extra 30-40$ for both speed and reliability. (I have a Hawking 8port 100mbit switch, but I wouldn't recommend it as it sometimes doens't comeback from a power cycles unless I cycle it many times... blech, then again it was only 219$) In production we use Intel cards almost exclusively along with cisco switches. -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@rush.net|bright@wintelcom.net] systems administrator and programmer Win Telecom - http://www.wintelcom.net/ 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 Jun 19 15:36:43 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mgd.maxcalvo.net (unknown [206.80.218.244]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1EB9A15353 for ; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 15:36:25 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mcalvo@maxcalvo.net) Received: from p200mmxntwks (fdsl89.phnx.uswest.net [209.181.96.89]) by mgd.maxcalvo.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id PAA00382; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 15:45:10 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from mcalvo@maxcalvo.net) Message-ID: <02b201bebaa4$35ef9850$5960b5d1@maxcalvo.net> From: "Max Calvo" To: "Jonathon Doran" , References: <199906192212.QAA10342@ucsu.Colorado.EDU> Subject: Re: makign web pages load fast Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 15:36:44 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2014.211 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2014.211 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG ----- Original Message ----- From: Jonathon Doran To: Sent: Saturday, June 19, 1999 3:12 PM Subject: Re: makign web pages load fast > > I have been running Apache for several months, however, I need to improve > > the performance of Apache.

I really appreciated. I have a 256k line in my home that I use to run my web server. My server is a P233 with 96 MB RAM and 4.5GB IDE HD. OK, Everytime there is a request, Apache have to get the web page from the HD since I see the HD lights come up when I request a page. However, I need to know if apache can preload this pages into server RAM and then get them from there. My analogy is simple, RAM access is faster than HD access. Iam not taking about using the computer cache or swap file. I am taking RAM chips. I have been reading a little beat about MFS. Would this be the solution that I am looking for? Or, Does Apache have a directive that can preload web pages in RAM. Right now it takes a few seconds to get a webpage in my internal network from my webserver. My expectation is that the web page should be loaded in my client across the room in less than a second. I have a 10MB network at home with seven computer, 4 of them FBSD.

The choice of POP server depends on many things: mailbox format, security, speed, sometimes even MTA. The following are some POP servers with some descriptions - look around, and then find one that suits you: 1. qmail-pop3d - works only with Maildir format. You can use it with any MTA - qmail, exim and postfix do direct Maildir delivery, sendmail can be coaxed to do Maildir with maildrop as the delivery agent. This POP server is modular - the authentication is done separately with another program called qmail-popup. By default it supports only plain text passwords, but can very easily be modified for APOP. qmail-pop3d is very fast and small. 2. cucipop - works with mbox format. very fast and very small - supports /etc/passwd by default. It can be modified for other auth schemes, but personally I couldn't really follow the code very well, although I've heard is is well written, if not clearly commented. 3. UW POP+IMAP server - supports mbox, mbx and various other formats. I found it very inflexible - not much support for alternate auth schemes. Also very big. 4. Our favourite qpopper - slow, big, buggy (older versions), the list goes on. Avoid it if possible. 5. cyrus - this one is a POP+IMAP server all in one. However, it works in "sealed-box" mode. You pipe messages from your MTA to cyrus's deliver program, which goes and stores the mail in a format internal to cyru,s and the only interfaces to it are POP and IMAP. Very fast. People say good things about it. However, by default it only supports /etc/passwd, and Kerberos. I don't know about APOP. -- Anand To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 19 15:57:57 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from lew.astercity.net (lew.astercity.net [212.76.32.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5E0EC14A12; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 15:57:42 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Lunaguma@astercity.net) Received: from astercity.net ([10.12.8.6]) by lew.astercity.net (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id WAA14215; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 22:25:29 +0200 (EEST) Message-ID: <376BFCBC.59F8F513@astercity.net> Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 22:25:32 +0200 From: Aquila Nauta X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (Win95; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: hardware@FreeBSD.ORG, questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Is FreeBSD support sound with S3SoundVibes or ES1371 (SB64V) X-Priority: 2 (High) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi...

I've been on the hunt for the perfect motherboard to replace my old P133 FreeBSD machine which is pretty much on it's last leg. I've been using an Asus P5A for my girlfriend's Photoshop/HTML machine which uses an ALi Alladin V chipset. The Asus P5A is a great board with alot of nice features and utilizes the low cost AMD K6-2 chip, but I heard that the ALi chipset isn't supported by FreeBSD as far as Ultra DMA/33 is concerned. I have heard that the VIA chipsets are supported in respect to Ultra DMA/33. First of all, I'd like to know if all the above is correct (that which concerns FreeBSD and the mentioned chipsets). Also, I'd like to know if the SiS chipsets are supported by FreeBSD in respect to Ultra DMA/33. Which motherboards would you recommend based on chipset? I'd like to get the best performance out of my DMA/33 hardrives. I know SCSI would be a better way to go, but I can't really afford a complete SCSI subsystem. :( Thanks for you help!

The 256k line will limit throughput a bit (although it will perform well). I had a 486 running a web site over a 256k ISDN line without trouble, so the machine isn't the problem. BTW, a little analysis can show that the amount of CPU time needed to saturate an ISDN line is minimal. > OK, Everytime there is a request, Apache have to get the web page from the > HD since I see the HD lights come up when I request a page.

The current version of Apache (to the best of my knowledge) doesn't not cache content. But then, it probably doesn't need to. Caching can be added by using a package such as Squid available from http://squid.nlanr.net (I suspect this won't help much, for reasons that follow) FreeBSD's filesystem caches data, and applications like Apache make use of this. Although it can't cache data which hasn't been accessed yet. An MFS would certainly result in having things loaded into memory, although it would defeat the buffer cache. It depends on how much data you have to serve. > Right now it takes a few seconds to get a webpage in my internal network > from my webserver.

Have you measured your network throughput? At the risk of telling you something you may already know, you will not get 10Mb over that line. (And its Mb not MB, 10-megabit per second if you are using regular ethernet). I get about 500KB/sec over my ethernet -- 1M file in 2 seconds. This seems reasonable to me. The performance curve for ethernet predicts about 5Mb transfers. Network performance will limit throughput more than disk performance will, so you'll probably not see the delay while data comes off disk. Once it starts coming off disk, the file system cache will hold onto it (in core) while the network waits on the network. You can reduce the latency (the initial delay between the request for a file and when data starts to stream in) via an MFS. But most users measure throughput. In summary, I expect your network is limiting throughput, and no amount of caching will improve that. So, how much data is in that web page.

All I ask in return is that you tell us about yourself and what you think of our resort and what we should include in our renovation. (Fill out the form at http://3478308519/bvi/ ) There is no catch - we are, in effect, paying you for information about your vacation habits and your advice while at the resort by sending you a free certificate allowing you to stay at the resort anytime in the next 6 months for 4 days and 3nights. All you have to pay for is my room cleaning costs of $20/night or $59 total. (Not per person.) plus BVI taxes, and even that doesn't have to be paid until you finalize your travel arrangements. Fill out the form at http://3478308519/bvi/ and I will send you a certificate, for free, good for a 4 day 3 night stay at the resort anytime during the next 6 mos. Let me reiterate, there is no charge for these certificates, they are free. However, since the quantity of these certificates, for any particular day, is limited to our average previous vacancy rate, we are only passing out about 500 of these certificates. Therefore, please apply soon at http://3478308519/bvi/ to lock in your desired dates. That's all there is to it and, if the timing isn't right, you certainly might know of someone who could help us, so please pass this message on to them or let us know how to contact them. Anyway, if you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Thanks for your time Tom http://3478308519/bvi/ PS If you want to sponsor a group tour under your name or as a special, merely collect the information on each participant and enter it on the website or fax it to us and we will send you the certs and you can book the group directly with the resort to ensure all stay together.

I used Novice, and configured very little (partitions and mouse).

I tried to use tar -xvpz from /, but the root dirs did not get restored. tar -tvz displays entries from: /dev, /stand, /etc. It does not show those mentioned above. In addition I installed WordPerfect 8 for Linux, which created a dir named /wpmacros. The directory definetly was listed in the mail results from cron. /wpmacros was not restored nor listed in -tvz. I am soliciting suggestions on how to restore the dirs. If it is not possible with the create command I issued, then please let me know the command. If the command I need to issue is something I have not mentioned here to extract the dirs, please let me know what the command is.

Apparently /boot/kernel.conf is parsed if a userconfig_script_load variable in /boot/loader.conf is "YES". I had originally installed FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE, which uses the GENERIC kernel, of course, and I chose through the installer to disable a bunch fo devices, then promptly forgot all about having done this. Several kernel compiles later, I'd trimmed those drivers out of the kernel but the /boot/kernel.conf file was still saying to disable them, assuming they were loaded. Hence "syntax error" (not the best choice of error messages, IMHO). Thanks!!

(There are more in /var/cron/crontabs) Also, I suggest for completeness that you always specify the "-f" flag to tar, so that the device is clear to someone reading the file. Trusting the defaults, which might change one day, is nerve wracking. Also, consider that the restore may be done in a stressful situation. The default (on my system) is /dev/rsa0 which rewinds after close. I also suggest that you always make tapes with relative paths (even though our version of tar can treat absolute paths as relative). Add "-C / ." to the flags. > The mail generated by the backup appeared good (although I am uncertain > whether /root or the others were in the list). Too bad you didn't save this.

Do you get different results without the -z switches? The first thing I suggest is making another tape (via the same procedure, or by hand) and saving the output. Then saving the "-xvf" output. At that point we can look to see what definately did or did not show up on the tape.

When you did a "config mykernel", you were told to "cd ../../sys/compile/mykernel" and to do a "make depend". This command isn't in the book but it necessary to do a kernel build. If you did the make depend, then you have another problem but the lack of a make depend is the most common error encountered by a new user.

I wanted to test out my TNT w/ GLX, so I got GLX quake, and tried to run it. I got this message about not being about to find libMesaGL.so.2. So, I created a symlink in both /usr/X11R6/lib and /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib to libGL.so (built from nVidia's released stuff by some other guy for freebsd). I still got the same error. I've noticed I've had similar problems w/ Linux binaries (like BMRT) not being about to find libraries. I have linux emulation loaded at boot time. What is happenning?

That's certainly a possibility. Or you simply use cvs(1) to check out a working copy. - cd /usr - Remove src - Check out initial working copy: cvs -R -q -d /path/to/repository get src - Later, to update the source tree: cvs -R -q -d /path/to/repository up -PAd src You can put the /path/to/repository in the CVSROOT environment variable to save typing. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de LinuxTag '99 - 26./27.

Let's call them unregistered. 10.0.0.1 is the web server I want to forward packets to. 10.0.0.254 is the gateway, which maintains a legal IP address on its outward-looking interface. The natd syntax goes something like 'natd -redirect_port "tcp 10.0.0.1:80 80"', I believe... -David.

While we are on the resources subject, I use KDE on my desktop, I am not concerned about resources there (Dual PP200, 256Meg Ram, 128meg Swap), and I love its functionality. I know people will hate me for saying I used KDE, but the fact that I can have Win95 ease of use and Unix power and reliability, is exactly what I want. But, KDE is not a major option for the laptop, where I am concerned about resources. I would like something with as much as possible the ease of use and functionality as KDE but not quite the resource hog....... Suggestions?
