Get wu-ftpd from the ports collection (if you haven't done so yet), and then look around the 'net for the virtual patches (I don't remember where exactly I got them from, but a couple of queries to AltaVista will probably get you there).

So all you have to do is to specify the program's location. Referring to `echo $PATH` you will find that the current directory isn't in it. That's the difference to the "usual" PC OSes. Commands are REALLY sought in the locations specified in $PATH ONLY and NOWHERE ELSE. You might a) specify the full path /home/user/project/a.out b) use a relative pathname ./a.out c) add the CWD to your PATH PATH=$PATH:.; export PATH I prefer methodes a) and b) and I really dislike methode c), since you might call the wrong version of 'test' or whatever just because there's one file called this name in the current directory ("by chance" :). Methods a) and b) make you much more aware of what you're doing. Regarding Makefiles: When using a somewhat intelligent version of make there is a reduced need for writing Makefiles on your own. 'gmake' for instance knows about a lot of dependencies and conventions and has a whole bunch of implicit rules to understand 'make hello' when there is a file named hello.c. You might want to use the -p (?) option to see the rule database (implicit and read from the Makefile - if any). You just have to write Makefiles once you want to add special options, use special libraries or your project has more than one source file. Once you get this far with experimenting there is a chance you can copy a Makefile from a different project. -- virtually yours -- G.Sittig@abo.FreiePresse.DE If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.

Muchos thankyous! This could be a permission problem. Does this happen when you start xload as root? On my system xload is owned by root and the set-user-id flag is turned on. It's better to put it in group `kmem' (chgrp /usr/X11R6/bin/xload kmem) and turn on the set-group-id flag (chmod g+s /usr/X11R6/bin/xload). This way ps(1) and top(1) is made to access /dev/kmem and it's recommended in the `bugs' section of xload's manual page.

I had working files for the old preconfiguration (FreeBSD 2.1.0). Settings regarding installation media, ipaddr., router, distributions and so on seems to work. What I can't get to work is the disk partitioning and labelling (and startup of installationprocess). Since I haven't been able to find any documentation on the subject I have tried to read the source code. That gave me some hints but I still can't get the disk configuration to work (has the keyword script changed?). Sysinstall sets the disk labelling variables though. If anyone is familiar with the new sysinstall pre-config I would be very glad to know what to do. (I haven't had time to look at FreeBSD 2.2.2 yet.

Do you get the message: "Panic, cannot mount root"? Is your second disk the master on the secondary controller??? Does giving the string: 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt solve this problems? If your answer to the above questions was "yes" then this has nothing to do with the size of the disk.

You're not specifying which version you're installing, so I assume 2.2.2 (or at least 2.2.1). If not, try a newer version, it may solve your problem. If not: First, try it in different configurations, i.e.: The CD as the slave on the master EIDE controller (with one of the disks) and the other disk alone on the secondary controller. If that fails try: The CD alone on the secondary EIDE channel and both disks on the first channel. In any case, make sure the CD is in the drive when you boot the install floppy. > If I buy a new SCSI interface card and a CD-ROM, can this problem be > avoided easily? Most likely yes. SCSI CDs have less problems with FreeBSD than EIDE CDs. However, 2.2.x version seem to work with almost anything these days. > What is your suggestion? > My computer configuration is > CPU:pantium200 > RAM 64M > 1st Hard disk 2G (western digital) for win95 > 2nd Hard disk 2G (western digital) 0ne partition for dos > The other for FreeBSD > Video card ATI mach-64 > > Thanks for your help > > Gordon > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 1 10:21:19 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA27837 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 1 Jun 1997 10:21:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tor-adm1.nbc.netcom.ca (taob@tor-adm1.nbc.netcom.ca [207.181.89.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA27592 for ; Sun, 1 Jun 1997 10:15:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (taob@localhost) by tor-adm1.nbc.netcom.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id NAA20841; Sun, 1 Jun 1997 13:15:07 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sun, 1 Jun 1997 13:15:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Brian Tao To: Dan Busarow cc: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS Subject: Re: 1 step forward 2 steps back In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Thu, 29 May 1997, Dan Busarow wrote: > > OK, then there should be an "I prefer vi" option.

As long as /usr is on your root partition, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. However, as far as I know, the system needs to access files in /var during the boot process, and if you have /var linked to a directory that's on another filesystem, and that filesystem isn't mounted yet, you may run into problems. ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * IRC: Data * Email: data@dal.net * * WWW: http://voyager.abac.com/data * IRC Admin, voyager.dal.net * * --== Try DALnet!

I once had this problem and the reason was an "unknown" interface address on a point to point interface (10.0.0.1) During bootup sendmail just stood there and I had to send ^C to it to proceed with booting. The line in maillog complained about this address not being resolvabel to a host name. So I put 10.0.0.1 dummy in /etc/hosts and sendmail started happily thereafter.

The problem with this is that the boot-up process sendmail tries to resolve all of your interfaces at startup (in daemon mode) in order to build an initial Cw You can try to add your host in /etc/hosts if it's not there already. Another, ugly, option would be to remove the initial resolving which is done in daemon.c (IIRC). Make sure you build your own Cw if you do this.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: 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 that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, 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 ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- 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: 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: 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. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

I am trying to install 2.2.2-release on a rather average intel 486/dx4100 / 16M/1.6Gb system with an ethernet connection to a small tcp based network. The HD controller is a promise eide. controller, EIDE 3200plus. I have run win95 and NT 40 on this box as well as win 3.11. and Linux. I want a dedicated FreeBSD installation, no boot manager just FreeBSD. This is going to replace my Linux machine. The problem I am having occurs during an ftp installation from a local ftp server (NT server 4.0) I complete the visual kernel config, I deactivate any drivers I know I will not need. During probe everything is found corectly. I allocate the entire disk to freeBSD...I am not prompted to choose a bootmanager, as expected. I go to disk label editor and choose A then Q, just the defaults. I then choose #1 Developer from the dist menu and proceed to go to the ftp installation, choose my own ftp server via ip address no names. The install then begins to create the file system, holo shell, logs onto my ftp server and starts to copy the bin dist to / . This is where it always fails.. although not at the same place each time. During the bin dist copy I get a dump, which for a breif moment I am able to witness everything it does not enjoy. Namely: ANIC: segment not present fault Fatal Trap 12 page fault while in kernel mode Fault: Supervisor read page not present. It almosts sounds like a memory problem, ie corrupt simms etc. I have popped diferent simms in to see if that would help. It made no difference. I have also tried another disk, no help. I do have an Adaptec vlb scsi controller bus mastering type, but I need a scsi disk to install it. That makes the controller the only thing I have not tried to replace, lack of disk... I have run this install 10 - 15 times, once I made it to 97% of the way before it crapped out. I thought I had it. I am sure I will not be able to get this up and running without some info from the source. For the record I have read the online help from the boot floppy as well as spent several days looking at comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc , I have also scoured the Raleigh, NC area for the FreeBSD book. I will probably have to buy it from Walnut Creek. It is imposible to lsit all the things I have tried during the install. If you could point me in the right direction I am certain I will suceed. Thanks for your help.. Arthur Pesa.

I have been very happily using 'natd' which does this translation for some time now. I've copied the "README" below. - Dave Rivers - A Network Address Translation Daemon for FreeBSD 1. WHAT IS NATD ? This is a simple daemon based on FreeBSD divert sockets which performs network address translation (or masquerading) for IP packets (see related RFCs 1631 and 1918). It is based on packet aliasing package (see README.alias) written by Charles Mott (cmott@srv.net). This package works with any network interface (doesn't have to be ppp). I run it on a computer having two ethernet cards, one connected to internet and the other one to local network. 2. GETTTING IT RUNNING 1) Get FreeBSD 2.2 - I think the divert sockets are not available on earlier versions, 2) Compile this software by executing "make". 3) Compile your kernel with following options: options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT 4) Ensure that your host is a gateway by setting gateway=YES in /etc/sysconfig 5) Test the software. View the contents of natd.test and if it seems to be ok (it flushes ipfw entries) execute it: sh natd.test name-of-the-internet-interface For myself, the interface is ep0, so this would work for me: sh natd.test ep0 6) Try from other machines in local network if the connection works. You should see some output from natd when it is running and processing packets. Your other machines must be configured to use the machine running natd as gateway. 7) If things seem to work, you can start natd in /etc/rc.local and modify /etc/rc.firewall to include suitable entries for natd. For more information see natd manual page. 3. FTP SITES FOR NATD This package is available at ftp://kn6-045.ktvlpr.inet.fi/pub/natd. 4.

You should be more specific about your setup. Many people (including me) use these cards. SMC is a fairly weak term: it can be anything between a WD8003 and a 100 Mbit/s card using the DEC chipset. Make sure you've got the correct medium selected. When in doubt, don't use autoselect, but use the DOS program accompanying the card, and force it to use BNC or UTP or whatever. Also, watch the boot messages.

Probably not enough pseudo terminals in /dev and/or in your kernel. Do a # cd /dev # MAKEDEV pty1 This will create 32 (or 16 depending on the version of your FreeBSD) additional pseudo terminals in you /dev directory. If you have enough special files (/dev/ptyp? and /dev/ttyp?) you should increase the number of pseudo terminals your kernel is supporting. Change the pseudo-device pty 16 line in your kernel configuration file to pseudo-device pty 32 Wolfgang From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 2 02:44:00 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA09836 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Jun 1997 02:44:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: from blinx.lizard.org (blinx.wms.co.uk [194.159.247.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA09815 for ; Mon, 2 Jun 1997 02:43:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from flipper@localhost) by blinx.lizard.org (8.8.5/8.7.3) id KAA22854 for questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 2 Jun 1997 10:50:39 +0100 (BST) From: Flipper Spice Message-Id: <199706020950.KAA22854@blinx.lizard.org> Subject: configuring ipfw To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 2 Jun 1997 10:50:39 +0100 (BST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL22 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I need some advice on configure ipfw for a /28 network.

It's sort of interesting just what commands do and don't work when you are working with "virtual private networks" as microsoft calls them. I think in short it would be neat if this (NAT or ppp -alias) code could be put on the ROM chip of a NIC! In a message dated 97-06-01 19:19:33 EDT, you write: << I would have to see what your routing table looks like to help more, but you probably will have this aced by the time you get this and could send it along. Like I said, I am not familiar with fBSD's ways (why I read this list's mail), but have seen more than one PPP host handle forwarding for a LAN. The most common problem I recall is not setting the forwarding for the LAN (Ethernet card) to pass things on via the PPP device. If you can ping the PPP device from a LAN client, but not get past that, you may find the problem there. Also, if you can dial-in to the ISP from a client and ping the PPP host, but no further, the problem is in the other direction (not what you described here). >> From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 2 05:27:39 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA16491 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Jun 1997 05:27:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: from federation.addy.com (federation.addy.com [207.239.68.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA16484 for ; Mon, 2 Jun 1997 05:27:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (fbsdlist@localhost) by federation.addy.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id IAA02843 for ; Mon, 2 Jun 1997 08:27:30 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 2 Jun 1997 08:27:29 -0400 (EDT) From: Cliff Addy To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: OFF TOPIC: cisco purchasing Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk First, let me apologize for the off-topic post, but this group has been such an excellent source of networking information that I can't pass it up :) Does anyone know of a rock-bottom source for cisco 2501 routers and digital link CSU/DSUs?

When you come accross a file called README.TXT, it's usually advisable to read that file before posting a question to a mailing list, newsgroup, irc, or whatever. If you had done this, you would probably be done installing FreeBSD by now, instead of waiting for an answer.

Apply the reprobe to any of the existing scsi control devices (e.g., /dev/rsd0.ctl). That super device is/was supposed to be a back door for a bus with nothing present at power up. Whether or not the reprobe works or hangs your system is a function of host adapter and OS release, and so you are better off with a reboot unless you know it works. -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Realtime development, Machine control, HD Associates, Inc.

Is this a problem? It sure is, actually... lots of people get this problem after upgrading to 2.2.2. The solution is to make sure that you have a login.conf file in your /etc directory. If you downloaded the latest sources from the FTP site and did a "make world", or even if you installed a brand new installation, the file *should* be under /usr/src/etc/login.conf.

It is detailed in the INSTALL.txt file on the CD. Basically you create a directory on the floppy of the dirtrobution, say /bin. Then copy the install file(s) onto it, say bin.aa.

Use netstat -r, and look for something like: default Atlas UGS 0 207 ef0 If you dont see and entry use the following 'route add default xxx.xxx.xxx.10' And that should solve the problem. Also just for S&G make sure there is an entry for the loopback interface (127.0.0.1) Also, are you using this machine for outgoing PPP dialup to the Internet? If so, check that ipforwarding is enabled via 'sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding' It should return 1 for forwarding, 0 for no forwarding, if it is 0 and this box is your gatekey use the 'sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1' to enable it!

It was about a 6 hour job, but I'm not so much worried with performance monitoring as with functionality. Most of the work went into detecting a special case that our ESIX boxes get themselves into, where they will be pingable, and you can rsh to the box, but the command never actually executes and never times out to an error.

Date: Mon, 02 Jun 1997 16:51:26 -0400 From: Brian McGovern Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been doing some code-searching as to why, whenever I try to run pppd with my serial driver, that pppd suddenly starts spinning out of control. I think I see where this is happening (in pppd), but I'm not sure if I'm confusing what I think is happening, and what really is happening. If someone can comment on these code chunks, I'd greatly appreciate it: >From /usr/src/usr.sbin/pppd/main.c, line 317: nonblock = (connector || !modem)? O_NONBLOCK: 0; Now, in my test cases, connector will be 0/NULL (I am not dialing out), and modem is 1 (I want to use modem control lines). Therefore, nonblock = (0 || !1)? O_NONBLOCK:0; nonblock = (0 || 0) ? O_NONBLOCK:0; nonblock = 0; Then, on line 326: if (nonblock) { initfdflags &= ~O_NONBLOCK; fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, initfdflags); } Which translates in to: if (0) { initfdflags &= ~O_NONBLOCK; fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, initfdflags); } which will never get executed. This should turn OFF NON_BLOCKING operation, which I'm assuming is what pppd really wants. Of course, due to the value of nonblock, this code will never happen, so O_NONBLOCK is still in the default case, which appears to be OFF (unset). However, then we look at line 396, which reads: if (fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, initfdflags | O_NONBLOCK) == -1) { syslog(LOG_ERR, "Couldn't set device to non-blocking mode: %m"); die(1); } Which seems to tell me to set O_NONBLOCK, reguardless of whether we want to use modem control lines or not. Once in a non-blocking state, pppd is free to spin completely out of control. This is the last invokation I've found that effects the O_NONBLOCK attribute. Now, in my opinion, this seems backwards. Wouldn't I potentially want to turn O_NONBLOCK _ON_ first, in order to dial out, then turn it _OFF_ unconditionally? Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems strange.

Restructuring all of the parenthesis so they lined up cleared up a couple of issues.

Or, more acurately, one point that I need clarification on. I see now that PPPD leaves the port in a non-blocked state for the duration of the call. I guess I don't see why... After all, it could be left blocking, and I/O could be first checked for with a select call. I guess the question I really have is this...

Please, > set me straight.... O_NDELAY, the open flag, has two meanings: 1) Do not wait for DCD before completing the open on a modem control device. 2) Refuse all calls which would block with EWOULDBLOCK. It used to be you could not turn non-blocking I/O off once it was on. There are other issues of DCD when dialing out. Basically, we are being POSIX'ed to death, and we are implementing in other than the way SVR4 does because we are gratuitously incompatible and we want to make things hard for the people doing the ABI code. The corrrect sequence is: a) set 1 second alarm b) do blocking open i) if open succeeds instead of alarming out, close the fd. Not a warning on the console that the port is either non-modem control, or the modem cable is bad (DCD jumpered high) or the modem is incorrectly configured (DCD does not follow remote carrier). NB: This procesure unsets O_EXCL in the tty struct as set by uugetty and other software abominations before God. c) do non-blocking open. This will succeed because non-blocking open always succeeds. Because of step (b), you are assured that you will not get an EWOULDBLOCK/EPERM from an exclusivity conflict. d) do blocking open on second fd. This will succeed because there is an existing open, so the DCD status is not checked. e) close the fd obtained in (c); it is useless. f) Proceed with operation using fd obtained in (d). On DCD loss, you must close this fs and go to step (a). This procedure will work correctly on all UNIX systems.

Just fyi, on the newer computers with an onboard PCI IDE controller you can disable the IDE buses, primary and secondary, and fbsd (or anyother os) won't see it. This isn't the same as telling the bios the drive isn't installed, and the option is someplace else, too. Usually in Peripherals, or PCI etc. Anyway, it can be handy in debugging or installs so as not to mixup the os.
