Personally I think people who just scoff at those who haven't quite got it yet don't deserve FreeBSD. Even someone asked a question that is answered on the front page of the FreeBSD website I would *kindly* tell them where they can find the answer. > I really wish you wouldn't have forwarded my message.

You have much better chances of getting it answered in -questions. If you're not subscribed to -questions, you can put a note at the top (or bottom) of your message saying that you aren't subscribed and thusly need e-mailed replies. In most instances, your e-mail address is kept in the To or CC headers and you get e-mailed replies automatically. In any case, it breaks the charter to ask tech-support questions in -newbies. -- dpilgrim@uswest.net ICQ: 29880099 gryph@mindless.com PGP DH/DSS key available If you're gonna build a house of cards, use the plastic coated kind Cuz I'll bet the homeowner's insurance won't cover flood damage To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 14 0:22:47 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from post-20.mail.demon.net (post-20.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.27]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1A17214F7F for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 00:22:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from marko@uk.radan.com) Received: from [158.152.75.22] (helo=uk.radan.com) by post-20.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.10 #2) id 10M69r-00025Z-0K; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 08:22:03 +0000 Organisation: Radan Computational Ltd., Bath, UK.

I QUIT...... after a week of posts and suggestions, ive had TO GO BACK TO 2.2.8-PAO, after being defeated by a 3.1 install. Ive wiped the whole disk and started completely over with a fresh 2.2.8-PAO, and gotten back on the network also, Ive taken the cdrom completely out of the machine since it doesnt work under 2.2.8 and i am now using it as a paper weight to remind me of the fact that ive been beaten by a machine. Ive tried it all... even a clean 2.2.8-PAO install, downloading of the 3.1 release, a local upgrade to 3.1 and cvsupping the PAO3 tree..... not even that worked.... I give UP..... I have been beaten.... :( looks like this CTX laptop will remain 2.2.8-PAO until its death..... with no cdrom... ! Thanks to all that tried to help and gave me many suggestions...... i think somehow it is resource allocation by pccardd and the pccard.conf file that finalized the demise of 3.1....

And I thank you for posting it. I feel it is very important that such attitudes be held by the "powers that be". We have similar standards within #freebsd on undernet. We hold that rudeness is never tolerated. Questions are never dumb questions. Ignorance can be cured. Stupidity cannot. We have low tolerance only for that that are not willing to learn. cheers. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 14 3: 0:45 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx-a.qnet.com (mx-a.qnet.com [207.155.33.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2990214F33 for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 03:00:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from stork@qnet.com) Received: from cello.qnet.com (stork@cello.qnet.com [207.155.38.12]) by mx-a.qnet.com (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id CAA03197 for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 02:57:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (stork@localhost) by cello.qnet.com (8.9.0/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA00175 for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 02:59:41 -0800 (PST) X-Authentication-Warning: cello.qnet.com: stork owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 02:59:41 -0800 (PST) From: Heredity Choice To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: installation failure 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 I recently replaced a Pentium Pro 440FX motherboard with a Superpower SP-A586B with an AMD K6-2 and Aladdin V chipset.

With any Unix variant that I have used in the last million years, you are warned about it. I have no idea if the drones from Redmond provide similar warnings, but I'd be surprised if they didn't. What's the warning? BACK UP ANYTHING THAT MATTERS **BEFORE** YOU START. Sorry for shouting, but this is the single most important instruction. If you have data on your disks that you don't wish to lose and for some peculiar reason you are either unwilling or unable to back it up, either physically remove the disk with the precious data or forget about the installation until you have backed up your data. There are no reasons ever to ignore this advice, no matter how much you know or how much experience you have or how clever you are. Things go wrong. Backups allow you to recover. This response does nothing to help solve the actual problem, of course -- but I haven't followed the saga carefully enough to be able to say anything constructive about that and other people are trying to help. However, the warning here needs to be seen and heeded by everybody. -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 14 3:44:50 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from alpha.comkey.com.au (alpha.comkey.com.au [203.9.152.215]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 837B414F36 for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 03:44:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gjb@comkey.com.au) Received: (qmail 12058 invoked by uid 1001); 14 Mar 1999 11:39:40 -0000 Message-ID: <19990314113940.12057.qmail@alpha.comkey.com.au> X-Posted-By: GBA-Post 1.04 06-Feb-1999 X-PGP-Fingerprint: 5A91 6942 8CEA 9DAB B95B C249 1CE1 493B 2B5A CE30 Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 21:39:39 +1000 From: Greg Black To: Shawn Ramsey Cc: Kelvin , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Question about login name References: <36EB5E25.C2EFE05D@taipingcarpets.com> <19990314002607.B15836@cpl.net> In-reply-to: <19990314002607.B15836@cpl.net> of Sun, 14 Mar 1999 00:26:07 PST Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > > Could you kindly tach me that how can I make my freebsd system to accept > > the login name like this "kelvin.liu".

It's also worth reading the man page for passwd(5), in particular the following partial paragraph: The login name must never begin with a hyphen (``-''); also, it is strongly suggested that neither upper-case characters nor dots (``.'') be part of the name, as this tends to confuse mailers. And then ask yourself if you really *need* to use this kind of login or if it's just something you'd like. If you don't really need it (and there must be very few reasons why you might), you would probably be better off not to do it. -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 14 5: 7: 2 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from fulori.com (fulori.com [208.221.12.115]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 51A7314F65 for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 05:07:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from myth@fulori.com) X-Transmitted-to: hub.FreeBSD.ORG [204.216.27.18] ;Sun, 14 Mar 1999 05:09:24 -0800 Received: from fulori.com (ppp-33.lake-jackson.mastnet.net [206.66.213.33]) by fulori.com (Viking/1.04-290) with ESMTP for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 05:09:21 -0800 Message-ID: <36EBB663.C2F787B5@fulori.com> Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 07:15:15 -0600 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: bootdisks Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: "Chrystian S."

I'm a bit confused as to which step is failing. You've successfully downloaded fdimage.exe, kern.flp, and mfsroot.flp? If so, are you running fdimage from a command prompt? If fdimage is failing from the command prompt, do you have DOS or any other OS on your PC to try running fdimage from? NT's WIN32 subsystem does not support all DOS programs; I've never tried fdimage from an NT box to see if it works. Hope this helps.

I've got ``options VESA'' in my kernel, and just to make sure I've added ``load vesa'' to /boot/loader.rc. The document http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update.txt contains the following: Last update: 4 Feb. 1999. Kazutaka YOKOTA yokota@FreeBSD.ORG [....] 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. I get error 19 from splash_bmp.ko. I've checked that the BMP complies with the requirements, it's 640x480x256 colours. If the problem is that the video driver can't switch video modes on the card the I should get the error described, but I don't. Has anyone any idea what's wrong??.

The word is Creative is soliciting, or has solicited programmers to write Linux drivers for the Live! 4d-tech (www.opensound.com) has solicited Creative for programming docs, but has yet to hear from Creative. Sounds like they're in for a wait. Personally, I use the Live! in Windows, and the PCI128 (read Ensoniq AudioPCI) in FreeBSD.

While discussing this I think I found part of my problem: root:/usr/local/etc/cvsup# grep -v ^# stable-supfile *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all As you can see the base directory was set to /usr and indeed below /usr there is a cvsup/ dirtree containing checkout files. I just checked some of the other supfiles in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ and, lo and behold, they all have /usr as base directory. My guess is that (3.1-RELEASE, ports from Internet, one CVSup performed) the examples were like this. Since - here it comes again - the manual does not make clear enough what the basedir will contain - although we have now established that supfiles are not necessarily amongst whatever it is - it is not made clear enough that it should indeed be pointing to something like /usr/local/etc/cvsup, nor why. Now in my case I thought it best to keep with the defaults as much as possible. Did not combine supfiles, nor edit them other than changing the default host. And ended up with a mess below /usr. Unfortunately since the manual does not specify what files CVSup maintains I don't know how to repair things. As a guess I would say that moving the sup/ dir to /usr/local/etc/cvsup would suffice, but can not be sure. Another thing it wouldn't hurt to do is to warn people (like me :) not to link to the example files. For they can and will be updated when one updates the port collection. Thereby undoing whatever changes one had done. Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.

What am I doing wrong. Hi The directory where your file resides is not in your PATH environment variable. The solution is to type: ./filename If this script will be in regular use, I suggest you make yourself a directory bin in your home directory. Then put your scripts there. The ~/bin directory should be included in your PATH environment variable by default. If it is, you can start up your script from any directory by just typing: scriptname Hope this helps, Paal To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 14 9: 5:15 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.HiWAAY.net (fly.HiWAAY.net [208.147.154.56]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CD9AC14F25 for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 09:05:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from sprice@hiwaay.net) Received: from localhost (sprice@localhost) by mail.HiWAAY.net (8.9.1a/8.9.0) with SMTP id LAA20754; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 11:04:48 -0600 (CST) Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 11:04:48 -0600 (CST) From: Steve Price To: Oleg Ogurok Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 3Com Megahertz PC-CARD In-Reply-To: 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 This is not a PC-Card but rather a CardBus card and CardBus isn't supported yet in FreeBSD.

Even someone asked a question that >is answered on the front page of the FreeBSD website I would *kindly* >tell them where they can find the answer. Personally, I agree. Nevertheless, when I was first starting, I posted a question there, and got a load of really nasty mail. One of them sent me private email (i.e. directly to me, bypassing questions), where he quoted my signature and said something like "so, you have designed some nice sites, but you need to get some computing experience." I replied asking him if 30+ years of computing experience was enough for him (yep, I've been at this since 1965). He never replied back. Just because one is new to Unix does not mean one knows nothing about computers. One of the ways I learned a lot about computers was by answering questions that people could easily find answers to. Years ago I was very active in Dr. Debug which was a Fidonet echo (same concept as Internet mailing list). It often happened that someone would ask "Is it possible to do such and such thing?" One might easily get annoyed and simply reply: "Why don't you try it, dummy." Instead, I would simply try it myself and reply: "Yes, I just tried it, and it works." That way I accomplished three things instead of one: 1. I would learn something new; 2. I would get them their answer; 3. I would tell them in a non-offensive way that all they had to do was try it. Of course, the reason they asked rather than try most likely was they were novice users and were afraid thier computer would blow up if they simply typed something at DOS prompt. I have a good friend who got a new AT (when it was the cream of the crop). His sister was using it for word processing, when suddenly "Fatal Error" appeared on the screen. She almost died thinking she killed her brother's computer! When I heard about it, I just laughed, but to her it was a very serious situation (which, of course, she learned from). Your way of kindly sending them to where they can find the answer is good, too. Chances are they did not look there because they were unaware of the existence of the resource, or possibly did not know how to use it. It is also possible they cannot use it: Some people have access to email but not to the web (although, I suppose, chances are people who try their way with FreeBSD do have web access). I have a good friend who works for the State of Wisconsin. He has email access at work, and is very comfortable using it. But he would not know how to load a web browser, let alone how to tell it to get him to a web page. >You have much better chances of getting it answered in -questions.

The problem was that I was only able to get 3.1-R using the 3.0-R bootinstall floppy and needed to boot from boot/loader instead of kernel, and then create a new kernel. >In any case, it breaks the charter to ask tech-support questions in >-newbies. Yes. But I started typing the message to share a horror story, not to ask a question. Only when I was done typing it, did I think it would not hurt to add "Any suggestions?" It did not. :-) I am the type of guy who tries everything possible to solve a problem without asking questions. Although, admittedly, without Robert's help I would probably not have solved this one. For the sake of others who may have the same problem, here are the steps I had to take: press F2 type "1:wd(1,a)boot/loader" type "boot kernel.GENERIC" log on as root type "disklabel -B wd1" type "cd /" type "cp kernel.GENERIC kernel" type "reboot" press F5 press F2 Now it works and I am very, very happy!

Yes, the Disk Manager overwrote my MBR without warning. Luckily, I had nothing on my old FreeBSD slice that I could not restore (i.e. I had copies of everything but the system elsewhere). As for my other problem, ie. not being able to boot 3.1-R after installing it, I was able to solve it with some hand-holding by Robert Nordier.

I don't believe that CD images are available at ftp.freebsd.org anymore (?) If you want a _bootable_ CD, you'll need to build it 'make release' and use appropriate CD mastering software. It's not really that difficult but does take a fair amount of time and disk space.

Even so: SYNOPSIS smbd [ -D ] [ -a ] [ -d debuglevel ] [ -l log file ] [ -p port number ] [ -O socket options ] [ -s configuration file ] First you compile in the 'default base dir' as well as the name of the configuration file 'smbd.conf' next you can provide it as param as well. Whereas CVSup does talk about a default base dir as well as config files, and although it does look like a daemon it is not and it treats them differently. It's more like an awk script than a configuration file. I think it's that dual function that befuddled me. When talking about configuration files I expect some etc/cvsup.conf that tells CVSup where it's defaults are. As something separate from the scripts that tell it what to fetch. Currently you need to include the setup part in each config file. > I really can't help with this unless you can give me a recipe for > duplicating the problem.

I did a man ftpd and found the following: ### If the user name is ``anonymous'' or ``ftp'', an anonymous ftp account must be present in the password file (user ``ftp''). ### So then I checked vipw and found that ftp is listed as a user.

Hmm. It's about time that English speakers started to use ISO 8859-1 or 8859-15 (I think). -15 appears to be an update of -1, but I don't have much in the way of information. Anyway, these sets includes a lot of symbols that are used in Western Europe, including currency symbols such as £ and accented letters such as é and ö. If these don't display correctly on your screen, you should check what fonts you are using. I believe it works automatically under X, but if you're still using the vts you'll have to load a font such as /usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso-8x16.fnt.

My concern is that our server has been getting some massive SYN floods from, what we think arespoofed hosts recently. It has brought our system to its knees, even with its power (Dual 400 512 mb of ram). We would like to somehow restrict these zombie connections from building up so much .. I found somewhat of an old kernel patch, but due to the age of it, it isnt applicable any more. I would like any suggestions on stopping or weakening these attacks either by kernel patch or ip filtering.. Any suggestions are welcome.

As slice 3 is above cylinder 1023, F3 shouldn't work, but the other two should. Does F1 get you to Windows? If not, I'd suspect your BIOS may be using a different geometry than 16 heads, 63 sectors. If just F2 doesn't work, the problem may be the FreeBSD boot code is not installed correctly. To try correcting that, do the equivalent of a disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 ${DRIVE} (making any adjustments needed on account of the fixit option). If that doesn't have any effect, send me the output of the following commands and I'll take a look: fdisk ${DRIVE} disklabel ${DRIVE} dd if=/dev/r${DRIVE} count=1 dd if=/dev/r${DRIVE}${SLICE} count=17 (In the first dd command, we need the first sector of the disk; in the second, we need the first seventeen sectors of the FreeBSD slice that contains the / partition.) -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 14 14:30: 5 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from berkeleycs.ml.org (unknown [206.110.18.251]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D119614BF1 for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 14:30:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bearmaps@berkeleycs.ml.org) Received: from localhost (bearmaps@localhost) by berkeleycs.ml.org (8.9.2/8.9.1) with ESMTP id OAA13537; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 14:22:01 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 14:22:00 -0800 (PST) From: Spam Me Here To: lucius milliinder Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: fdimage In-Reply-To: <36EC36C7.4983@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 You create the images with rawrite, and the images are in 3.1-RELEASE/floppies basically, the command is rawrite mycdrom:\release\floppies\myfloopyimage a: You can also boot straight from the cdrom if you have a relativly new bios, this is accomplished by setting your boot device to cdrom.

I'm rather puzzled because, several years ago, I learned how to do my first FreeBSD install from the handbook. Looking at the Handbook on the FreeBSD web site, section 2 ("Installing FreeBSD"), I see some text that reads in part: > 4.

Well, I went and read the part about image floppies. It tells you to use fdimage.exe. I don't have a system with DOS on it around, but I remember that that isn't that hard.

It could legitimately be 8 (and other sizes, too). Read clause 6.5.2.1 "Semantics" of ISO/IEC 9899: 1990 (the ISO Standard for C) for more info. In particular, note the paragraph that says: Each non-bit-field member of a structure or union object is aligned in an implementation-defined manner appropriate to its type. Then see the later paragraph that says: There may also be unnamed padding at the end of a structure or union, as necessary to achieve the appropriate alignment were the structure or union to be an element of an array. Because it's implementation-defined, compiler authors are at liberty to offer normal default behaviour with padding for alignment needs (as you have seen here) and optional packed behaviour, provided they document it. Final note: this has nothing to do with FreeBSD.

As I know the compiler > aligns every variable at even address. Maybe that's the reason. Not exactly... the size of the structure depends on the maximum alignment requirements of all of its members. In this case; on most architectures, the alignment of the `shortvariable' is 2, the alignment of `charvariable' is 1. So, the alignment of the entire structure is 2. The size of the structure is then padded - so that if you had an array of these structures, each array element would be properly aligned so that the structure alignment is preserved. Thus, the size of the structure is padded to reach a two-byte alignment... adding one byte... making the size 4. That's why; when dealing with structures - the whole is typically greater than the sum of the parts... :-) - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 14 17:36:52 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from saturn.spel.com (ip226-39-143.spel.com [208.226.39.143]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C967815D3A for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 17:36:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mturpin@saturn.spel.com) Received: from localhost (mturpin@localhost) by saturn.spel.com (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id UAA06710; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 20:30:43 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from mturpin@saturn.spel.com) Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 20:30:43 -0500 (EST) From: Mark Turpin To: Thomas David Rivers Cc: ian@bulinfo.net, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Programming Question In-Reply-To: <199903150131.UAA10509@lakes.dignus.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 Thanks..

In other words, are you committed to supporting it on FreeBSD now and in the future? I ask this for two reasons: 1) I'm evaluating operating systems to be used to host Java server applications, and I'm looking for an alternative to NT and Solaris - both of which currently have excellent Java support. 2) I would think that a committment to Java would be *very* important to the free UNIX organizations. Java is an incredible language to develop in and does offer an alternative to the Wintel monopoly. You have millions of Java programmers and many of them have been attracted to the cross-platform capabilities of Java and are dying for a deployment platform other than NT. Personally I think a free OS combined with Java is an incredible combination; however, when I read things like "this might work for you, or it might not" on the Java port page, it makes me not want to consider FreeBSD as a host for my server even though everything else about FreeBSD gets me excited. By the way, we're not developing an internal application, we have a vertical market app that in many cases will be installed as a complete system (hardware, OS, app etc.). I would really like to be able to recommend FreeBSD as the OS of choice for the turnkey systems. thanks, Brian Adkins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 14 18:51:55 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from macbeth.d2si.com (macbeth.d2si.com [206.8.31.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8E2F31529A for ; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 18:51:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from alec@macbeth.d2si.com) Received: (from alec@localhost) by macbeth.d2si.com (8.9.2/8.9.2) id UAA91257; Sun, 14 Mar 1999 20:51:14 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from alec) From: Alec Kloss Message-Id: <199903150251.UAA91257@macbeth.d2si.com> Subject: Re: Programming Question In-Reply-To: from Mark Turpin at "Mar 14, 1999 4:50:32 pm" To: mturpin@saturn.spel.com (Mark Turpin) Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 20:51:14 -0600 (CST) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL43 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Mark Turpin said: > > > I feel really silly having to ask this. > > Why does my sizeof(mystruct) come out as 4 instead of 3 ( short + char ) ? > > struct { > short shortvariable; > char charvariable; > } mystruct; > > sizeof(mystruct) == 4 > > Thanks > > > Things (like the short) must be aligned on even-byte addresses. C treats this structure like it is size 4 to insure that arrays of them maintain their alignment.
