I went to /stand/sysinstall and tried configuring > the thing that way but I cannot get an option of a ethernet card. I'm a little unclear on what you're trying to do. It sounds as though your kernel is configured to support your ethernet card (i.e. you can get out to the net from your FreeBSD machine), but you need to be able to get into it. If that's the case, then maybe you simply don't have the telnet service enabled. To enable it, bring up /etc/inetd.conf in your favorite text editor, and look for the "telnet" line towards the top of the file. Chances are there is a # in front of it. Take the # out, save and exit the file, and then issue this command: "killall -1 inetd". Then see if you can telnet to your machine. If your machine isn't even seeing the net at all, then you have a more basic problem, which is probably that your kernel isn't configured to support your ethernet card. You'd have to enable support for it in your kernel configuration file, recompile your kernel, and restart your system. Configuring the kernel is too long to go into here, but there's a great tutorial in the FreeBSD handbook on the FreeBSD web site, http://www.freebsd.org/handbook, under Section 5: Configuring the FreeBSD kernel. It also explains all the various options for the configuration file, one of which will be the line you'd need to add for your particular ethernet card. ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://home.dreamhaven.net/~data * * "Insanity takes its toll.

Is there anybody with some performance tests done, so that he can say I'm right or not? I've tested once nat with just loopback and it seemed a lot slower.

The original permissions on the mount point are irrelevant. When the filesystem has been mounted, the root directory's permissions are what become visible. This is perfectly normal.

I have found xntpd spewing the ``drift value xxx invalid'' message into the log file when an empty drift file existed, where `xxx' was garbage. I believe that this comes from ntp_util.c where xntpd is attempting to extract the frequency and mode from the drift file. The fscanf call returns -1 and atolfp is called with buf uninitialized. IIRC, a significant period of time elapsed before the drift file was created. -- Regards, Norman C.

Then type "rm Startme", and before hitting ENTER, hit the TAB key, which will make the shell complete the filename. The shell will automatically escape the | character for you, and after it completes the filename, then hit ENTER to remove it. ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://home.dreamhaven.net/~data * * "Insanity takes its toll.

Is it possible to boot from sd(1,a) without reformating the first Disk? A friend of mine (he is not a FreeBSD-Newbie like I am) told me, that I have to reformat, use a small Partion (< 100 MB) for FreeBSD, the rest of sd0 for M$ NT.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was some where in the middle of an ftp install and my ISP dropped me. Some of the system is in tack and I can boot to the freeBSD partition but there are various messages about the root not being mountable. Then I get some messeges regarding checking the file system then it gives me the equivalant of the emergency holographic shell that you get during the install. I had re-connected to my ISP when I noticed there was no downloading going on but the original install did not resume and I couldn't figure out how to get it to go again. Obviously I re-booted the system (or I wouldn't be able to send this messege). As I said, the kernel is there so I can boot to the system but I have no way of knowing what didn't finish getting installed nor do I susspect the system will be properly set up when I finish installing with sysinstall. My questions are these. Where, if anywhere, is the log of what packages/distributions were installed so that I can see what still needs to be gotten (from my preferred dists). I know I need the XFree86 and more sorces (though I don't know which ones may have made it, I do know I can't get to sys@ as the /usr/src directory is not very complete). The other question is, if I do the sysinstall to get the rest of my dists, will the system configure itself properly? It seems to be at least partially ok now as things like 'man' and 'shutdown' are working (I take this to mean that at least some of the paths and other system configurations have been noted, though I could be wrong). At any rate, can I resume/fix the install without having to start from scratch (since at least 4 hours of the install has happened) or at least a way to continue an ongoing install if my ISP drops me again? (presuming I havn't re-booted, ie. re-start ppp and kick the install process back into gear) Thank you for your time and any help you may have, Ray (aka Savant, the dim whitted ;) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 11 11:23:38 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA20373 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 11 Oct 1998 11:23:38 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from turkey.ispro.net.tr (turkey.ispro.net.tr [195.174.18.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA20361 for ; Sun, 11 Oct 1998 11:23:33 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from yurtesen@turkey.ispro.net.tr) Received: from localhost (yurtesen@localhost) by turkey.ispro.net.tr (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id VAA00207; Sun, 11 Oct 1998 21:22:58 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from yurtesen@turkey.ispro.net.tr) Date: Sun, 11 Oct 1998 21:22:58 +0300 (EEST) From: Evren Yurtesen To: Bryan Fraser cc: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: Samba Installation help In-Reply-To: <01BDF460.E109DE40@BRYAN> 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 hello you should find the file samba-1.9.18p8.tar.gz from your cd's and put it into /usr/ports/distfiles and then you should try to compile it. bye On Sat, 10 Oct 1998, Bryan Fraser wrote: > I'm trying to install Samba.

While most of Sarah's information is correct, this is not a problem related to the version of FreeBSD. Whether or not the system will automatically recover and continue the boot depends entirely on the type of file system inconsistencies encountered while running the automatic fsck. If the file system is OK or repairable (man fsck for the short list of errors fsck -p will fix) it'll be mounted. If it has any other errors you'll get the "press enter for sh" prompt.

There's no direct way of finding out, unless you have an account somewhere outside the ISP and can traceroute in. Of course, that will only show you one route, and if the ISP is multihomed, that won't help much. You can also do a "whois" on the domain, and see who is providing its nameservice. Sometimes they run their own nameservers, while sometimes they use their upstream provider's. If you see, say, ns.cw.net, that's a good indication that the ISP is homed to Cable & Wireless (formerly MCI). ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://home.dreamhaven.net/~data * * "Insanity takes its toll.

One file in particular that is opened with fopen() as read only is failing with errno EINTR. I looked up interrupted system calls in _Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment_ by W. Richard Stevens who suggest handling the error by simply retrying the system call repeatedly until it succeeds. However doing this results in an infinite loop as the system call never succeeds on any successive retry. Furthermore Richard Stevens goes on to say that 4.3+BSD should restart the system call itself if it is interrupted and disk I/O shouldn't be interrupted in the first place. As far as we can tell this happens about ounce every 100 times the CGI runs. Otherwise the CGI runs normally. Reads on other files never fail in this manner; the file is a regular disk file and the CGI is compiled using gcc 2.7.2.1 on FreeBSD 2.2.5 RELEASE. Thanks in advance for any solution or explanation of this problem. -- Geoffrey Robinson geoffr@globalserve.net Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

I am trying to install the 3.0-19981009-BETA release. Here is my hardware configuration: AMD K6-233 (one of the latest revisions) Intel TX chipset motherboard w/512KB cache 64 MB SDRAM AdvanSys ABP-940 SCSI host adapter, SCSI ID 7 IBM DCAS 2.2 GB Ultra SCSI drive, SCSI ID 0 IBM DCAS 2.2 GB Ultra SCSI drive, SCSI ID 1 Fujitsu 405 MB Fast SCSI-2 drive, SCSI ID 2 NEC 3X SCSI CD-ROM, SCSI ID 3 S3 Virge-based PCI video card SMC EtherPower II (9432TX) PCI Ethernet card PS/2 Logitech mouse I have a dedicated internet connection via the ethernet. The way I partition and label the drives for installation are as follows: Drive 0 (IBM 2.2 GB): 400MB FAT16 (Windows 95 resides here) Remainder FreeBSD FS, mount at: / Leave MBR alone (I had planned on installing System Commander later) Drive 1 (IBM 2.2 GB): Dedicated FreeBSD FS, mount at: /home Drive 2 (Fujitsu 405 MB): Dedicated FreeBSD 202 MB SWAP 202 MB FreeBSD FS, mount at: /scratch I had planned to run the /var and /usr directories off the root FS partition. At boot-time, I configure the kernel and disable all devices that I don't have (including ISA ethernet and SCSI cards, etc). Once I get the installation via FTP started (from ftp.freebsd.org), it progresses to 34% and then crashes. The progress bar reads "Extracting bin into / directory..." The stats bar at the bottom reads: "9438208 bytes read from bin dist, chunk 40 of 116 @ 13.4kB/sec" The error messages are as follows: Panic: ufs_dirbad: bad dir Syncing disks... 143 143 143 70 40 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 giving up (da2:adv0:0:2:0): . CDB: 35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 (da2:adv0:0:2:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc: 20,0 (da2:adv0:0:2:0): And then of course, the automatic reboot stuff, etc. It seems that it's having problems with SCSI device 2, which is the Fujitsu drive. I have scanned the drive for bad sectors with Norton Utils and SpinRite (there aren't any). I have also used the disk heavily under Windows 95 and NT and there have been no problems with it. Thus I don't know why it would have problems with the Fujitsu. Also, the rest of the hardware has also been run under 95 and NT and works fine. Can anyone tell me how to go about getting this resolved? PLEASE CC replies to me personally. Thank you. .______ | Vijay N.

I think the "minimal" install only touches / Yesterday I did one and it was so "minimal" that couldn't really do much with it. :-) One thing you will need to consider was what groups you had and in which order they were created. This applies mostly to groups you created since the standard groups will still have the same number in the entries. I don't really know inner-works, but notice that both groups and user ids have a number in the respective user and group tables. This may be a good time to remind you the importance of backups. :-) ---- francisco@natserv.com The power to serve. http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 11 16:37:47 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA05397 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 11 Oct 1998 16:37:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from federation.addy.com (federation.addy.com [207.239.68.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id QAA05376 for ; Sun, 11 Oct 1998 16:37:44 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from francisco@natserv.com) Received: from quisqueya.natserv.com (TC4-dial-166-142.oldslip.inch.com [207.240.142.166]) by federation.addy.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id TAA03530; Sun, 11 Oct 1998 19:37:30 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199810112337.TAA03530@federation.addy.com> X-Mailer: XFMail 1.3 [p0] on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: Date: Sun, 11 Oct 1998 19:37:59 -0000 (GMT) Reply-To: francisco@natserv.com From: Francisco Reyes To: BEAUPRE Antoine Subject: RE: How to reset FreeBSD?

This was after downloading two files from your site, boot.flp and fdimage.exe. The BIOS on my motherboard doesn't support the 4.0GB hard drive directly . I am therefore running EZ-BIOS as installed by the EZ-DRIVE software which came with the Western Digital hard drive. If I attempt to boot from the new installation boot disk following the EZ-BIOS procedure I get MS-DOS instead fo FreeBSD. If I attempt to boot using on-board BIOS procedure I get only strange beeping sounds and don't see the EZ-BIOS message at all.

I used "tar cbf 200 /dev/rst1 ." and a fresh tape (and I've just used the cleaning cartridge, too). Several minutes into the backup, the system locked solid, and appeared to do some SCSI bus resets.

I think that's a reasonable assumption. The general feeling in the developer community is that they're unreliable devices, and the last thing anybody wants is an unreliable backup system, so nobody is interested in integrating them. The fact that they're not really designed to work in a multiuser environment just adds to that.

The other filesystems should still be there. Are you certain that you did not newfs /dev/wd0s2c (the entire slice) ? Do you have the source on your system? If so, it is in /usr/src. You can reinstall source if you can just get a bootable kernel. You will need some build tools. I don't know if boot.flp has cc and such.

You can just do "make installworld" with out building. Maybe I am stretching, but you should be able to get that partition back without clobbering the others. If you can get the right compile tools you can pull off a 'make world' to reinstall.

I remember clearly having typed "newfs /dev/wd0s2",I mismatched a 4 for a 2. (aaaaargh! Never run as root kids!) Not quite sure. But as I said, the output of newfs was obvious: it may have removed the / partition, but surely didn't have time to get to the others. Maybe it just remove the entries of the /usr, /var and /proc partitions... > Do you have the source on your system? If so, it is in /usr/src.

I tried the install floppy and the only shell I was able to have was the "emergency holographic shell". But maybe the fixit floppy should have these kinda tools. Maybe someone could send me some binaries? My system is a 227Release. If so, what should/could be included in the panic floppy? (my try: -ppp -mount -ls -sh? -cc/gcc -make? -??? I may need a lota stuff from /bin and /sbin... If I can only get to mount /usr, it will be all right (i hope!). > When re-newfsing the root partition ensure that it does not run into the > next partition. Good! > Have you done a recent "make world"? If so, all of your binarries are > already there. You can just do "make installworld" with out building. Damn. I _made_ a make world recently... But I removed /usr/obj!!! (Is that where the binaries are?) I was managing disk space, and moving some stuff around, particularly making a new partition, hence the newfs... But the make world was fast enough... :) > Maybe I am stretching, but you should be able to get that partition back > without clobbering the others.

Perhaps you have no free partition space on that disk? FreeBSD may leave a 64k slice to make sure the slice is cylinder-aligned.

If you *really* want to go to single user mode, you're better off booting. But I can't see any good reason to want to do so.

Exactly what does this message imply? Mel uid 65534 is 'nobody'. The only thing I can think of that sorts as user 'nobody' is locate.updatedb, which is usually run weekly. If you have a lot of files, it could fill up /tmp or /var/tmp (depends on TMPDIR, set in /etc/locate.rc). Try changing the TMPDIR to /usr/tmp, if your /usr is large. -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 Sun Oct 11 20:33:22 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA26796 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 11 Oct 1998 20:33:22 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from smtp3.erols.com (smtp3.erols.com [207.172.3.236]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA26791 for ; Sun, 11 Oct 1998 20:33:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from philuint@erols.com) Received: from erols.com (philuint.erols.com [209.122.46.86]) by smtp3.erols.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA23086 for ; Sun, 11 Oct 1998 23:33:07 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <3621852D.EA54E8C1@erols.com> Date: Sun, 11 Oct 1998 23:27:25 -0500 From: Whee Kim Organization: Philuintech, Inc.

You probably have 3.3.1 on your box. pkg_* keeps track of this so you don't delete a port "required by" another port. You can fix this by installing version 3.3.2 or you can just ignore it.
