Specifically, is there a version that I can build in a 3.1 source tree, and if not then what is the minimum amount of work I can do to get a working system with this card supported. One of the posts I saw said that there was support in 3.2, but the GENERIC 3.2 kernel (from the June 1999 CDs) doesn't recognise the card. The card is an Intel InBusiness 10/100. Thanks in advance.

I've seen messages in -questions about CD-ROMs not being found if there is no disk in the drive. Failing that it's got to be something you removed from the kernel.

The card is an Intel InBusiness 10/100. Find out what the device ID is. I have an 82559 card running right now, and it ran under 3.1-RELEASE as well as it's software compatable with the 82557/8.

This is on the sticker on the front next to the ethernet address and another number "10927", which could mean anything. The Intel docs for this chip say explicitly that it's software compatable with drivers for older versions.

LaCoursiere" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: NATD 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 Greetings, Have been playing with natd this weekend on a new box with two nic's. I have it basically working for a handful of machines on the dirty inside net. I pass the following to natd in /etc/natd.conf: redirect_address 10.1.1.3 209.197.192.68 And added the 209.197.192.68 address as an alias on the outside interface (whose normal address is 209.197.192.66). This works like a charm for external hosts to hit the web port on the inside machine and get a reply through natd. Inside machines, on the other hand, must use the dirty address of this web box to talk to it. The gateway box running natd cannot talk to it but on the dirty address either. I have trapped the following on the external interface when the gateway box tries to ping the inside box using the external secondary address: 11:25:17.459779 arp who-has 209.197.192.68 tell 209.197.192.66 11:25:18.469800 arp who-has 209.197.192.68 tell 209.197.192.66 So it looks like the gateway is ARPing for the alias address on the external interface - the same interface the alias is attached to! Is this a FreeBSD bug? Seems like it ought to RARP itself :) I am also confused why the translation didn't take place first. I ran natd in -v mode to see what it was doing: dudemon% s /sbin/natd -v -f /etc/natd.conf -n ed0 Out [ICMP] [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) aliased to [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) Out [ICMP] [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) aliased to [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) Out [ICMP] [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) aliased to [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) Out [ICMP] [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) aliased to [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) ^C No translation taking place?

Everything appears to work correctly from the gateway box.

The reason I think I've got a routing problem is I can't ping or tracert from the Win98 box although browsers & email clients work OK I figure there can't be a route from 203.3.126.133 to the ISP, so probably I need to run something on the BSD machine like "route add 203.3.126.129 203.3.126.133" and relevant lines for each other LAN machine .... does this reasoning sound OK ??

Arrrrg, I was afraid of that. Sorry if this sounds trollish (and unappreciative), but does is lazy old me really going to have to buy and read ANOTHER 400 page book just to get DNS up and going? Maybe I'm hopelessly naive, but why is DNS so complex? How come I can't just write a text file mapping IPs to hostnames? Oh well. I believe I'll take another look at my book and the FAQs to see if I can avoid the dreaded Bind book. Thanks though Doug!

No one who knows how to do that wants to support something like that. I *think* that the way that modems are going is not going to eliminate regular modems (and it's _certainly_ not done that yet). > --Ugen > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message > ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@mat.net | communications topic, C programming, Unix and 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | carpentry.

What's needed is the entire AT command set, and sometimes all the dsp processing too. What's left on those PCI modems isn't as smart as my wind up alarm clock.

Modems that still have a 16550 based uart interface to them, but just happen to sit on the PCI bus. I'm not at all planning on writing support for winmodems, just making sio.c understand UARTs on the PCI bus. There *are* PCI modems out there that aren't winmodems, they're just hard to find. 3Com makes one, as well as a few other companies.

I think if you investigate, you'll find that that 20% for PCI modems breaks down to 15% PCI winmodems and 5% "self-contained" modems. I've got a URL around here somewhere that discusses the issues. If I can find, it, I'll post it.

I am having problems with my cd-rom drive with 3.2-STABLE though. I created the boot flopies and sysinstall comes up without any problems. As soon as it goes to access the cd-rom drive and install everything though it comes up with an error message... "The CD in you drive looks more like an Audio CD than a FreeBSD release" Unfortunately the drive is a VERY old Mitsumi with a proprietary ide card. If I look at the debug console it says it has detected cdrom on /mcd0 ( I think.. ) but there's no disc in it. When installing 2.2.8 I do not have this problem, but I would much rather start with a clean 3.2 install than upgrade 2.2.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The closest I can come is to say that if you want to be a unix system administrator you have to learn how to use the tools. Misconfigured name servers can wreak all sorts of havoc, including increasing unproductive traffic to and from your site, doing the same for other remote sites, cause you to miss your mail, prevent people from reaching your site entirely, etc. The fact that A) You failed to answer my question as to why you want a nameserver in the first place, and B) You're one of those people who asks for advice then doesn't take it; indicates to me that you've got nothing but trouble in your future. Either take the time and patience to educate yourself properly, or hire someone who is. Either way you will save yourself and the rest of the internet a lot of problems.

Previously, I used RedHat linux 5.1 on said 486. I installed FreeBSD because I wanted something a bit leaner and a LOT less hyped =]. About my copro: appearantly, the IBM 486 Blue Lightning does not come with a fpu. Mine is an onboard solution, which comes with a Cyrix fastmath 387 fpu (I can look up the exact type if that is relevant). Here's the problem: when I boot the GENERIC or any custom kernel, it won't boot unless I do a "disable npx0" in UserConfig (great option, by the way). And, well, all those "don't comment npx0" comments just make me feel a little bit uncomfortable about doing that. (yes I did leave npx0 on in my config files). Furthermore, XFree86 is performing really bad on my S3 Trio 64 (VLB, 1024K), much worse than it did under RedHat 5.1. Help me quickly, before I fall back to Linux!

conditions and be certain to delete = the part in=20 this line after the "#" that goes on 
about changing the default value of = 300 to 0 if=20 you don't want a timeout (the "#"

I sent in a question about kde a day ago, but no answer came. Maybe it was too stupid? Pls tell me and educate me! If I do not get a reply because this is sent with Outlook, try to think about using your bike, when your car is broken, or when you want to get some place where a bicycle is easier :-) Thx! This was, and is, my problem: As I cannot figure out even where to look and searching deja didn't give me a clue, I hope somebody here can help me. I have installed FreeBSD afresh, using the 3.1 CD-ROM I have. Then copied current sources from another machine, cvsupped last changes, make world, everything fine and running. Bare X also OK. Then I downloaded packages of kde-1.1.1 and pkg_added them, with all dependencies. Now startkde gives me: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libkdeui.so.2: Undefined symbol "__ti6QFrame" and a couple similar. Any hints? TIA!

I'm not going to get in-depth into the how-to's, that's not quite why I'm replying. 1. All I'm going to say is that I used the man pages and Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD" book and was able to setup bind on my small network w/o any trouble. So, if you don't want to read a "400 page book just to get DNS up and running" then maybe you should get your hands on this all purpose tome of knowledge instead. 2. If all you want is a text file that maps host names to ips, and don't want to put in any effort, use /etc/hosts! 3. (This is for Doug) Does it matter for what reason he has decided to setup a nameserver? To my knowledge there isn't a huge difference between setting up bind for 1000 machines or 5 machines, if they're all in the same domain. Just my 2 cents, -Chris P.S. Chris, yes it did sound unappreciative and trollish. No one's going to want to help you if you're going to whine about the answers you receive. I'm sure we all feel your pain, but if it's too much of an undertaking, don't undertake it. :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Doug [SMTP:Doug@gorean.org] > Sent: Sunday, September 05, 1999 5:20 PM > To: chris@tourneyland.com > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: Hoping to configure DNS > > chris@tourneyland.com wrote: > > > > > You want to get a copy of DNS and BIND, 3rd Edition from > O'Reilly.

I would like to try freebsd, so I downloaded the two start up floppies form the 3.2 image on the freebsd.org web site. The floppies work fine but the install config does not see my disk controller. It is an adaptec 2940 controller. There only seems to be a model 15xx type controller in the device list and it does not pick up the interrupt or buffer port. Another problem is the network card. I have an smd 10 baset card which is being found but is not being initialized when the system is coming up into the install menus. System is a PentiumII 350, 128mb of memory, 1 gb hard drive. PS I am not trying to load it on my Linux disk. I am using a spare disk with a dos partition. I have followed the directions in the install doc. and would like to know if I am doing something wrong or if I need a different set of starter disks.

Sorry you're finding it so unpleasant; that's not the intent, from what I've gathered. The presence of "named.conf" is an indicator that the version of the name server software that is installed on your machine (BIND) is 8 (or beyond); "named.boot" is a file with similar function (but quite different syntax) that was used to define the configuration of BIND version 4 (and prior, I believe). named.root is not a name that has a definite purpose, though files with such names have often been used for identifying the root nameservers that your name server should use.

This is one of the reasons I asked. Unless your ISP's nameserver is significantly hosed it's just as fast to use theirs, and you get the additional benefit of A) not duplicating DNS traffic and B) all of the additional cache in their nameserver from all of their other clients. It's extremely rare that a local caching nameserver actually speeds anything up for an ISP customer, and even then it should be configured with a "forwarders" directive, which is definitely beyond the realm of simple setup.

Well, it's not quite that dire, but the basic idea is the same, yes. Unfortunately DNS is one of those things that is very easy to make serious mistakes with, and what's worse is those mistakes might never reveal themselves in ways that you can catch and fix. In short, if you don't NEED to run your own nameserver, don't. If you do, then get properly educated.

In another message you posted your HOMEBASE config file with wdc1 commented out. The dmesg output shows your CD on wdc0, am I right in assuming it is the slave to you HD on the first IDE channel? If so then wdc1 doesn't matter The only thing I spotted that could be causing a problem is wd1. In the HOMEBASE config file stuff you included above wd1 is included, whereas in your other message it is commented out: options "CMD640" # work around CMD640 chip deficiency controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 #disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 wd1 is the slave disk on the primary controller. wcd0 is the CD on the primary controller. Maybe you need wd1 probed (i.e. not commented out in your config file) in order for FreeBSD to find the CD. I know this sounds wierd, but there are plenty of threads in -questions about IDE CD-ROMs not being probed correctly. You must bear in mind that, as a "standard", IDE is pretty loose. Having said all that, the fact that GENERIC finds your CD points to your custom kernel. Try making HOMEBASE from GENERIC with everything you don't need commented out but leave the wdc, wcd and wd stuff as per GENERIC.

I might also point out, that other multiport comms cards are now starting to appear with PCI interface, and something even more important to me at this point, a number of ACTIVE ISDN cards have just been released (and some about to be released), that support the AT command set and basically just look like a couple of serial ports, except they have a PCI interface...

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG First of all, thanks to those who responded to my previous questions regarding installing FreeBSD (make my own install CD?) I decided to follow the advice of the person who suggested that I could get the CD by buying the FreeBSD book. It would be handy if that little tidbit was somewhere prominent on the website. I know someone else who is interested in FreeBSD, but "can't get the CD." On to the next problem: hard drives. On the website, under the section on hardware compatibility, there's a list of supported hard disk controllers. The systems that I am looking at buying all have Ultra DMA hard drives, which seems fairly common, but I don't see any mention of UMDA on the website. I have been told, by a salesperson I don't trust, (who had a reason I don't believe,) that UDMA won't be a problem. So, what's the scoop on UDMA and FreeBSD?

MSIE4 is OK now, but remember its been around over a year. The present MSIE5 has only been out a few months, consequently its still quite buggy. I've used it in Win98 / Win2000 (don't have any choice there) since its been available and its still not what I'd call usable. Even if you managed to get Microsoft to port it to FreeBSD it would be the MSIE5 version, and apart from the probability that most BSD folk would refuse to install it, why would anyone want more Microsoft "new improved features" ?? -----Original Message----- From: Bill A.

I really hate using Netscape 4.61 on my Unix/Linux machines. I find IE4 to be far more stable and user friendly. I recommend avoiding IE5. However, I really don't want to see MS move into the BSD or Linux world. Perhaps a better solution might be to work with the Mozilla project and help them get their act together. I think they finally fixed their licensing which originally turned many developers away.

(Information on FreeBSD is available at www.freebsd.org) I and some other of my fellow FreeBSD users would like to see a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (4.0 or greater) for our OS. A thing to note is that FreeBSD has support to execute Linux binaries. Currently, the only decent modern browser for our system is Netscape Communicator which to some of us is a second choice for a browser even when we are running Windows. Unlike some UNIX system users, I respect Microsoft and I am very much impressed to see that IE had been ported to UNIX (A competing platform) in the first place. I would appreciate some feedback on my request. Thanks Bill billieakay@yahoo.com -----End Copy----- Bill billieakay@yahoo.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris To: Bill A. K.

I'd rather run a nameserver than maintain /etc/hosts (yuk!) on multiple machines, and a local caching nameserver can speed up resolution of remote hostnames if they're used often. I found it quite easy to get BIND running for my local network, without the book. I'd probably get the book for anything bigger than my home network though, or if my nameserver was listed as the authoritative nameserver for a domain, or something. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 5 18:47: 1 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from goblin.apana.org.au (goblin.apana.org.au [203.3.126.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AF4D814D5E for ; Sun, 5 Sep 1999 18:46:56 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by goblin.apana.org.au (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA19525 for ; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 12:06:28 +1000 (EST) (envelope-from dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au) Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 12:06:28 +1000 (EST) From: dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au Message-Id: <199909060206.MAA19525@goblin.apana.org.au> Received: from jdy.apana.org.au(203.3.126.133), claiming to be "jdy" via SMTP by goblin.apana.org.au, id smtpdE19523; Mon Sep 6 12:06:22 1999 X-Mailer: SendM@ail V1.09 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Routing Question Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Sending this from Windows application by name of Sendmail ... hopefully it won't mess stuff as badly as Outlook does for people who receive stuff in Pine .....

I am trying to load USRobotics Total Control Manager using wine. Now the software itself will actually load with just one error (I will list it at the end). Now if you do not know TCM uses SNMP to communicate and send commands to USRobotics Total Control Chassis. When I try to open a chassis, the following error pops up. The title of the window is Windows SNMP API error. And the actual message is TL not initalized. Now the error that I get when loading is fixme:win32:PE_LoadImage FATAL: Need to relocate C:\USRSUITE\TCM\NP_WSX32.EXE, but no relocation records present (stripped during ling). Try to run that file directly ! Now I did try to load that directly and it did not fix the error. Basically I just need to know if anyone has tried this and if anyone knows wether or not fixing this is humanly possible.

A boxed set bought for 50 bucks at compUSA. I edited the /etc/master.passwds file by hand using "vipw" command, to fix a users passwd. Noticing that root had the csh shell listed, I changed it to zsh (having installed that shell) since I am not familiar with csh. Later, on reboot, I found that "zsh" is not recognized as a legit shell so cannot get logged in as root. Cannot su to root, from a user account either. I just get a message "/bin/zsh: No such file or directory" So am effectively locked out of root status. Making it impossible to correct the edited file. Using the full manual that came with the boxed set, I find several ways to boot in a rescue type environment. None of them will work for me. One way is supposed to be from the CD with the live file system. On trying that approach I find the CD is for Alph architecture instead of intel. The boot install CD is intel. I'm still wondering why I have a mixed set. As it happens the fixit.flp file is of no use to me either since this particular machine has a broken floppy drive. Seems there would be a way to get into root status to fix the shell problem, but I'm not finding it. Is there some way to get there using the boot/install CD? I went far enough to create a holographic shell but there are not enough commands available to repair the file. Can the Installed system commands be accessed in some way from the boot/install CD? Or is there a parameter I can insert at boot prompt that will allow a run level 1 boot as in linux.

(Information on FreeBSD is available at www.freebsd.org) I and some other of my fellow FreeBSD users would like to see a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (4.0 or greater) for our OS. A thing to note is that FreeBSD has support to execute Linux binaries. Currently, the only decent modern browser for our system is Netscape Communicator which to some of us is a second choice for a browser even when we are running Windows. Unlike some UNIX system users, I respect Microsoft and I am very much impressed to see that IE had been ported to UNIX (A competing platform) in the first place.

Yes. Undo the builds at least partially and then rerun them. The PHP make install will popup a menu that allows you to select what modules to include. At least GD is among them and I do believe pdflib is too. Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.

In particular, it calls "uu_lock" to lock the serial port. The javac compiler compiles the code successfully, but the Java virtual machine is unable to find this system utility at run time and exits. I successfully wrote a C++ application which uses the uu_lock utility so I know that it exists on my system. I should note that I had to use the "-lutil" linker option to get gcc to link in the utility library that contains uu_lock. Does anyone know how to get the Java Virtual machine to find the uu_lock utility?

It took me a couple of random tries to get the right combination, and the end result, just an hour or so ago, is that HOMEBASE now finds the CD, and no longer gives an error message regarding wdc1. (I ended up commenting out wcd1, but leaving wd1 uncommented. You are right that wcd1 didn't matter; in fact, I remember deleting it using the visual configuration tool at the initial install, but it took awhile for that to sink in.)

Well, I use forwarding, so these two points don't apply to me, at least. Since a nameserver for the local network hostnames seems like a good idea to me (and I see you didn't disagree with this point), it makes sense to use that nameserver as a caching nameserver for remote addresses as well, I can't see it making things any worse. Maybe for a standalone machine there would be no point. > It's extremely rare that a local caching nameserver actually speeds > anything up for an ISP customer, and even then it should be configured > with a "forwarders" directive, which is definitely beyond the realm of > simple setup. I'll have to disagree with it being beyond the scope of simple setup. All you need, surely, is: forward first; forwarders { 1.2.3.4; 5.6.7.8; }; Seems fairly simple to me. :-) -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 5 21: 2: 9 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from thunderbolt.ee.itb.ac.id (thunderbolt.ee.itb.ac.id [167.205.48.115]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E15B31547B for ; Sun, 5 Sep 1999 21:00:59 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from daddy@thunderbolt.ee.itb.ac.id) Received: from localhost (daddy@localhost) by thunderbolt.ee.itb.ac.id (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA10518; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 10:32:23 +0700 (JAVT) (envelope-from daddy@thunderbolt.ee.itb.ac.id) Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 10:31:03 +0700 (JAVT) From: Daddy Amin To: Dru Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: kernel trouble 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 On Sun, 5 Sep 1999, Dru wrote: > > On Mon, 6 Sep 1999, Daddy Amin wrote: > > Hi, I compile FreeBSD kernel to a new one.

Warner: I've had a look at your pccard_nbk patches, and they seem to work for me reasonably well considering what it's trying to do. :-) Please, can we have it committed? Leave the #if 0 in sio so people don't get blown away. At the moment various people would like to help fix sio etc, but while you've got (possibly) undisclosed patches in your tree we could be duplicating your work.

If this option is not specified, the -n or -interface option must be used. The specified address should be the address assigned to the pub- lic network interface.

Nothing tricky. First, make sure you have gateway_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf. If it is not, then this is obviously your problem. Then use natd(8) as usual. Or, better yet, use `-alias' option of ppp(8); it's better suited for ppp's operation than natd(8), and doesn't require you to compile divert(4) and ipfirewall(4) support into your kernel. -- Ruslan Ermilov Sysadmin and DBA of the ru@ucb.crimea.ua United Commercial Bank, ru@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer, +380.652.247.647 Simferopol, Ukraine http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve http://www.oracle.com Enabling The Information Age To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 6 1: 3: 6 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from herring.nlsystems.com (nlsys.demon.co.uk [158.152.125.33]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7146D1508A; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 01:03:01 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dfr@nlsystems.com) Received: from salmon.nlsystems.com (salmon.nlsystems.com [10.0.0.3]) by herring.nlsystems.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA14867; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 09:03:48 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from dfr@nlsystems.com) Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 09:03:48 +0100 (BST) From: Doug Rabson To: "Matthew N.

I have a plan for this. The isa_get_flags() stuff is going to change to device_get_flags() and the rest can use the ISA_GET/SET_RESOURCE methods which could be implemented by pccard as well. For PCI, we need to change the probe slightly to pass the RID for the port resource (always zero for isa but normally nonzero for pci). In this case, the GET/SET_RESOURCE methods probably won't be needed since they are just used for the multiport kluge. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.

Any ideas? I have a similar problem with my laptop. I can boot 2.2.x CDRoms but no 3.x... So I create the installation floppies and be able to install it. Later on, I used these CDRoms on a desktop and it is able to boot these CDRoms. But I notice that it is booting a 2.88Mb floppy. So MY GUESS is that some laptop are not able to boot a CDRom if the floppy image is anything but a 1.44Mb image. Phil.

I have tried to install it from floppies and DOS partition. The results were the same. I successfully configured hardware, defined the partitions information, defined the installation type (from floppies or from DOS partition), defined "smallest possible configuraton" (or "user configuration" and then "bin" distribution). The process of installation is started, but just started: it is not continued. The message "1024 bytes read ... chunk 1 of 106 ..." is the last one I see. It is not changed. After that computer does not react on keyboard at all. Sometimes computer is stopped later (60-70% of installation). But when I am trying to install from DOS partition, it is only as above mentioned. What should I do or check or try? Please, help me. I am just a beginner with FreeBSD. Thank you in advance.

I installed every version of FreeBSD from 2.2.2 to 3.2 via DOS partition, and it worked fine every single time. I don't know what could be wrong in this case, but I do know that DOS partition installation usually works. I did get the 3.2 CD's a while ago, though, and they are nice. If you don't mind spending the money (it isn't much), they'd probably be worth it (_especially_ for newbies - they and _The_Complete_FreeBSD_ probably would have made my early newbiehood _much_ easier). >> I have tried to install it from floppies and DOS partition.

I then tried '/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start' but got a ServerName error - the apache FAQ said that I needed to add a ServerName, so I uncommented an entry in httpd.conf - 'ServerName localhost'. I then tried '/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start' again, but simply got the error message "/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started". This is a rather unhelpful error message, and I didn't see anything in apache.org's sketchy manuals to help... the apachectl man page is simlarly devoid of useful info. In case it helps, '/usr/local/sbin/apachectl configtest' replies "Syntax OK", and 'ping locahost' works nice and dandy. Any ideas from those httpd experts out there would be greatly appreciated. -Charon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 6 5: 9:38 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from out1.mx.skynet.be (out1.mx.skynet.be [195.238.2.36]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B6FE115067; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 05:09:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from blk@skynet.be) Received: from [195.238.1.121] (brad.techos.skynet.be [195.238.1.121]) by out1.mx.skynet.be (8.9.3/odie-relay-v1.0) with ESMTP id OAA09119; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 14:15:00 +0200 (MET DST) Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: blk@foxbert.skynet.be Message-Id: Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 14:05:54 +0200 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, freebsd-stable@freebsd.org From: Brad Knowles Subject: softupdates in latest build? Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Folks, I built a machine on Friday w/ FreeBSD-STABLE. Of course, this was just before certain fixes were committed that would allow it to actually successfully build a kernel, so I went back today and cvsup'ed to the latest version. However, it would appear that /usr/src/contrib/sys was not included in this update, so any kernel that you might want to build with softupdates enabled would not be possible. I got a copy of the necessary files from another machine I built a little while back (and which did not need to be cvsup'ed in order to be able to build a kernel), so I think I'll be able to get this to work. However, the bigger question is why is this necessary? Did I miss something fundamental with regards to cvsup that is explained somewhere on or , or perhaps elsewhere in the manual?

Somehow, replacing it with another bloated piece of crap doesn't get me excited. I was going to get into a whole spiel about some very good reasons why Microsoft will never support Linux, despite other companies they support. However, this would have discouraged you from being annoying to Microsoft. You go right ahead. So you want an alternative to Netscape? Look at www.opera.com. They're working on a Linux version of their browser. I've used Opera on Windows 3.1, and I have to say that I like it. I had to give it up, because it requires 6MB of ram, and I only have 4 (I've had difficulty trying to upgrade because of the motherboard.) Still, Opera ran better on my machine than Netscape 3.0, most of the time. The lack of memory in my machine, combined with the @#$%ed up memory management scheme in Windows meant that Opera would crash when I went to a site with large JPEGs. Netscape actually requires much more memory, but it only ran real slow, as opposed to crashing. Please don't be annoying with this company. This is a company that I really do want to support FreeBSD. So what can you do? Get the Linux version, and let them know that while FreeBSD will generally run Linux software, a true FreeBSD version would be better. Inform them about FreeBSD resources on the Net, and let them know that there is a whole community knowledgable of users willing to offer support for development. ------------------------------------------------------------ bogh tlhInganpu', SuvwI'pu' moj, Hegh - "Klingons are born, live as warriors, then die." source: The Klingon Way, Mark Okrand, 1996 ------------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 6 6:37:34 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from lusine.acc.am (armentel.net [212.73.64.99]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7980714DA0 for ; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 06:36:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ml@lusine.acc.am) Received: from localhost (ml@localhost) by lusine.acc.am (8.9.3/8.9.1) with SMTP id SAA49612 for ; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 18:36:42 +0500 (AMST) Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 18:36:41 +0500 (AMST) From: Eugene Sevinian To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: restricted ls In-Reply-To: <19990906132400.85308.qmail@hotmail.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 Hi ppl, what is the easiest way to restrict some users in order to prevent them from running "ls .." in their home directory.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 07:58:39 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings, all. I've running a web server (FreeBSD 3.1, Apache 1.3.9). The machine had been running 2.2.8 for over a year with no problem, but when I had to install a larger hard drive I decided to also move to 3.1, so I did a clean install of 3.1 (not an upgrade). After installing 3.1 the machine ran cleanly for a couple of weeks, but a few days ago it started freezing a couple of times a day to as often as 4 or 5 times a day. When it freezes it stops serving up web pages, though httpd still shows up in ps, it stops responding to ftp requests though inetd still appears to be running, then it finally stops responing to ssh requests. All through this it continues to respond to pings, so I guess the kernel isn't panicing. I've got a monitor process on another machine that pulls some web pages periodically to do some system monitoring. Earlier this monrning just before the system froze again the system monitor pages (using SSI to call ps, top, etc) showed vmdaemon using up 74% of the CPU time! I am *not* accustomed to seeing that! This server is located 500 miles away from me, so when it locks up my only recourse is to call someone at the NOC to go shutdown my machine, or kill the power. Neither of those options are things I want to do 5 times a day. ANy ideas where my problem might be coming from, or suggestions as to where I might look next?

Once I got make world finally done (after about three hours), I rebooted and started work on configuring my new kernel. I ran into some problems with a number of things that had changed in the format of kernel configs, but the biggest thing I've run across so far is the fact that Berkeley Packet Filtering (bpf) is now enabled by default, as opposed to disabled by default. This opens a *huge* security risk for anyone who doesn't reconfigure their kernel or doesn't fully comprehend the potential danger here. Are we really sure that the FreeBSD Inc. has sufficiently increased it's liability insurance to cover the potentially multi-million dollar lawsuits that might result from this change? Most of the rest of the stuff I think I've managed to figure out on my own, and although changes of this scale at this stage somewhat concern me, I figure I can work them out. And this is a particularly good machine for that, since it's going to be an internal support machine I can play with for a while. But this liability issue *really* concerns me. Jordan? David?

Since you didn't say what kind of mouse you have it's hard to tell for sure, but this sounds like an IRQ conflict. It's also possible perhaps that you left your mouse devide out of your custom kernel config file.

I wanted an actual functioning system that would allow me to build a new kernel, and because of the recent breakage, I was forced to cvsup this morning.

Therefore, I had missed the earlier notice about softupdates moving.

And as any lawyer can tell you, this doesn't mean anything. The sharks are slobbering all over themselves to nail Microsoft over the recent problems with hotmail, and FreeBSD Inc. could very easily be setting themselves up for a similar lawsuit. Especially since this was a change that was not very widely announced (I sure didn't see anything even in /usr/src/UPDATING, much less on any other web pages or anything else I've read so far), and this is a negative change from previous behaviour. Furthermore, this is built into the GENERIC kernel (and turned on by default), and we all know that the vast majority of sites will never figure out how to build their own kernel, nor will they have any real use for this feature. Once on a box, it's trivially easy to get root. In fact, with various rootkits lying around, it's easy to do this programmatically and gain root access to hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of machines in just a few minutes. However, it might be a bit more difficult to script creating and installing a new kernel to turn on the ability for people to do password sniffing. If this feature isn't enabled by default, you at least have the chance that it would be more noticable for them to build and install a new sniffing-capable kernel, and increase the chance by just that smidgen more that people would actually see anomolous behaviour when their machines are compromised, and potentially be capable of preventing further damage to their networks and systems. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.

I'll agree with you about Opera. I'm waiting for the Linux version to appear. The Windows version excellent, it loads many times faster than NS, which is not surprising since it's only just over 1MB: -rwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 1228800 Nov 16 1998 Opera.exe It also has one *really* great feature the NS doesn't have; you can tell it to save a webpage and it saves all the graphics as well.

This doesn't make any sense. Basically you are saying that it is real easy to break in, so "password sniffing ability" should not be available because it will be easy to tell if crackers try to turn it on. First of all, it isn't easy to break into an up to date system. And second if you have so many clear text passwords floating on your network, you've got a much bigger security problem. Besides, most ethernets are switched these days, making password sniffing for anything but connections to or from the machine the sniffer is running on completely useless. > -- > These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy > ____________________________________________________________________ > |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| > |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.

Blargh. I followed the instructions on , but didn't realize that it was going to create a /etc/cvsupfile that had "." for a default tag. Now I get to reset that to "RELENG_3" (which is what I really wanted in the first place), and start all over again. Fortunately ssh 1.2.27 doesn't like 4.0-CURRENT (the assembly tweaks don't apply), and it tipped me off that something strange was going on. Of course, I've now re-learned the lesson for the umpteen-bazillionth time to *never* trust the default configuration files that will be created for you.

On install CD in boot/scripts there are two scripts that are supposed to install the example desktop in what ever user root tells them. Not happening for me... The scripts go thru the necessary software reporting that all is alread installed. Then comes a part where root is prompted for a user name. Given $USER then it breaks down with this message: "su: /cdrom/book/scripts/install-rcfiles: Permission denied. The script scans the passwords file for $USER name and $DIR. No problems are reported so apparently the $USER and $DIR checkout ok. Finally figured out that the scripts forget to change the files permissions so that the su 'ed user can access them. Getting past that only to find that the files needed are not where the script expects them. /usr/share/skel/exapmles/cfbsd/scripts/.xinitrc (etc) Can anyone tell what is the problem here?

First of > all, it isn't easy to break into an up to date system. How many systems do you honestly expect to be "up-to-date" as opposed to "out-of-the-box"? Many years of experience have taught me that this percentage will be *very* low. Therefore, there's no reason not to make whatever *reasonable* changes you can in order to make the default out-of-the-box installation reasonable secure. You don't have to go all super-anal-OpenBSD, but if there are things that can be set by default to be either secure or insecure and it doesn't make all that much difference, why not choose security? > And second if you > have so many clear text passwords floating on your network, you've got a > much bigger security problem. Again, look at the services that get installed by default. Plenty of places will probably never hear about ssh. Although we don't necessarily have to have machines that automatically come up as an ipfw "closed" system and ssh has to be part of the base install (and the only supported method of remotely accessing the system), I think it would behoove us to choose to be a bit more careful in those areas where we can. > Besides, most ethernets are switched these days, making password > sniffing for anything but connections to or from the machine the sniffer > is running on completely useless. I have reason to believe that it is possible to sniff through switches, at least certain types of switches. I'll say it again. If the choices are "security" or "no security", and otherwise it doesn't make a whole lot of difference to how it operates out-of-the-box, then why not choose security? -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.

No need. It's rule #1 of Cheswick & Bellovin, and taught as basic security practice supposedly around the world. There's no need to go ahead and intentionally remove features that might make it slightly more difficult to compromise security at a site, if the resulting change make no real effective difference in the way the system operates out-of-the-box. Anybody who wants to install nfr (or any other sniffer program) can take a few moments to uncomment a single line in a kernel configuration file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, then type "/usr/sbin/config KERNEL", then "cd ../../compile/KERNEL; make depend; make; make install". -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.

That's certainly true. However, if this feature is disabled by default, this throws just one more roadblock in front of some script kiddie that might want to break into your system. It won't stop a determined cracker (nothing will), and it won't stop someone with half an ounce of intelligence (they can just rebuild the kernel), but if you at least turn this off by default then they're forced to rebuild the kernel in order to enable this feature, and that would require a reboot. That might just make the system that much more noticable if someone tries to crack into it and install a password sniffer, and that much less easy to compromise security at that site. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.

Again, it is imperative that you _read_ the technical discussions that preceeded this, or any, change before you leap in and criticise it blindly. In summary; bpf is enabled because it's needed.

I'll say it again; read what has already been said. Most of us are heartily sick of your side of the argument, and you're not likely to get many useful responses while you continue to display basic ignorance of the issues involved. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 6 11:44:50 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from fw.wintelcom.net (ns1.wintelcom.net [209.1.153.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 56ABE1551D; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 11:44:44 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bright@wintelcom.net) Received: from localhost (bright@localhost) by fw.wintelcom.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id FAA09713; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 05:02:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bright@wintelcom.net) Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 12:02:07 +0000 (GMT) From: Alfred Perlstein To: Tom Cc: Brad Knowles , Dag-Erling Smorgrav , Pascal Hofstee , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: softupdates in latest build?

It was not self-evident to me that the supfile that would be created by default was not the same supfile that was referenced on the web page. As to your use of the word "infantile", I'd have to say that this says more about your thought processes than mine. I've been perfectly willing all along to acknowledge my lack of experience in this area, which is the entire reason why I came to this mailing list to try to get help -- obviously from people other than the omniscient types such as yourself that can't be bothered to actually be helpful to anyone who has less than your own perfect knowledge of every single line of code throughout the entire OS. I'm more than happy to RTFM (I've written some in my time, and I've told more than a few to RTFM myself), if I'm told which section of which FM I should R. I don't usually ask for assistance unless I've checked out everything I can think of, and when I do ask questions, I usually try to make it abundantly clear what resources I've already used, what instructions I've tried to follow, and what problems I'm having. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.

Win would read an ISO 9660 CD-ROM, but not a Mac HFS file system on an ISO 9660 CD-ROM. So, if your FreeBSD box is configured with all the Mac hfs utilities, it may be possible to read the disk. Anyhow, hfs support in FBSD is weak, so maybe it does not work.

What, that we have no time for people that can't be bothered to help themselves, even when asked to? You've walked into a contentious issue spewing FUD, patently disregarded the suggestion to take a little time to familiarise yourself with the history of this issue in our context, and now you expect us to feel sorry for you? Brad; this isn't a kindergarten. You are addressing the FreeBSD developer community here, and you are telling us that you think the end result of a long decision process was a stupid idea. Do you really expect that sort of thing to be well received? You could have started with "I was surprised to find that bpf was enabled. Why was this done? Where can I read about the decision process that resulted in this change?". Unfortunately, you've discovered that there are a lot more of us that there is of you, and that we don't suffer abuse at all gently. The suggestion to go read up on the issue was not meant as a brush-off; it was a well-intentioned gesture with the aim of educating you in a fashion that doesn't involve some poor bastard like me re-typing every salient point that was made during the whole process. Please do us the courtesy of informing yourself to the best possible extent so that we can communicate meaningfully and usefully with you. As you say, this isn't Linux. We don't have a history of mailing lists and newsgroups filled with whining newbies that have driven the developers away to other, closed areas, and we plan to keep things that way.

Since no one seems to have pointed directly at the reason that rule #1 is being violated I thought it might help kill this thread quickly to state: bpf is enabled as it is needed by DHCP to get the correct IP configuration during an install onto a network that uses DHCP for configuration. Thus bpf has crossed the line from being ``not needed'' to ``needed'' out of the box. Therefore this is not a violation of Cheswick & Bellovin's rule #1. I myself, a person strongly against having anything on a box from day one that may impose security risks, have adopted to the needed change and support it. I simply now build my boxes in a disconnected state, then rip out what is not needed for this deployment before the thing ever sees anything like a network. If you need further details please search the email archives for a very long thread that talked all about this. About your legal concerns, well.. thats another matter all togeather, but given the ``value'' of FreeBSD Inc it is presently not a very large target for someone to fire at. I will state you are correct in your assertion that the disclaimer of warranties is not a legal protection from these types of lawsuits, which generally use the broader scoped ``gross negligence'' basis, it is the best that one can do given the current state of the legal system. Given my above statement of _why_ bpf is needed I think it would be safe to assume that FreeBSD has done do deligence in it's task of weighting functionality vs security and would have a good case on this front against any gross negligence suit with respect to bpf. Infact it can be demostrated that FreeBSD has gone the extra mile to insure that the product it produces is far more secure than almost anything the commercial boys turn out. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 6 12:13:44 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from donhm.calcasieu.com (tcnet23-011.austin.texas.net [209.99.97.74]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A3D941503E for ; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 12:13:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dread@texas.net) Received: from donhm.calcasieu.com (localhost.calcasieu.com [127.0.0.1]) by donhm.calcasieu.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA19999; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 13:59:30 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from dread@texas.net) Message-ID: 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: <199909061044.WAA04751@freebsddiary.yi.org> Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 13:59:29 -0500 (CDT) From: Don Read To: Dan Langille Subject: RE: xntpd: Previous time adjustment didn't complete Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 06-Sep-99 Dan Langille wrote: > I'm getting the following message in my logs: > > Sep 6 18:10:07 ducky xntpd[163]: Previous time adjustment didn't complete > Sep 6 18:12:06 ducky xntpd[163]: offset 0.093015 freq 96.530 poll 9 > Sep 6 19:04:25 ducky xntpd[163]: Previous time adjustment didn't complete > Sep 6 19:12:06 ducky xntpd[163]: offset -0.052756 freq 96.530 poll 10 > Sep 6 20:12:06 ducky xntpd[163]: offset -0.018669 freq 96.700 poll 10 > Sep 6 21:12:06 ducky xntpd[163]: offset 0.041134 freq 96.629 poll 10 > Sep 6 21:21:14 ducky xntpd[163]: Previous time adjustment didn't complete > Sep 6 22:12:06 ducky xntpd[163]: offset -0.002168 freq 96.596 poll 10 > > Is this something I should be concerned with? When changing small values of time ntpdate & xntpd make a system call adjtime() that speed/retards the system clock to catch-up to the desired time. The error msg is that adjtime() did not finish the catch-up before it got called again with another adjustment. Not a problem.

This was thrashed out in -hackers a month or so ago. There are sound technical reasons to do so. The biggest is it allows a net install using a DHCP configured interface.

What exploits work against 3.2-RELEASE out of the box? Besides, if people aren't going to keep there systems up to date, they will get broken into.

Well, it depends. ARP is used to resolve IPs to MAC addresses. L2 switches don't even look at ARP. They just memorize where different MAC addresses are. Now, if an ARP broadcast goes out from a certain client for a login box, and the login box and a spoofing box both answer the request, the client will report a duplicate IP error. So you don't really gain anything. You certainly can't "compromise" the switch. You can try spoofing MAC addresses, but a switch will direct traffic to the port with a particular registered MAC address. So either the spoofing box or the login box get the traffic, not both. Either way, things will not be working right on the network, and people are going to notice. Also, all switches allow particular MAC addresses to be hard-coded to particular ports. If other ports attempt to use them, they are shutdown or ignored. You are however screwed if the login box goes done, and your spoofing box tries to impersonate it. This however would be detected very quickly because whatever services the login box had wouldn't be working, unlike a classic sniffer. > -Alfred > > > Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 6 13: 9:35 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail5.kscable.com (fe5.rdc-kc.rr.com [24.94.163.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4E71D154F4 for ; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 13:09:26 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from sonar@kscable.com) Received: from sam ([24.94.200.60]) by mail5.kscable.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.5.1875.185.18); Mon, 6 Sep 1999 15:02:55 -0500 Message-ID: <000701bef8a3$c071e540$3cc85e18@sam.kscable.com> From: "sonar" To: Subject: dhcp+install Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 15:09:40 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0004_01BEF879.D76982A0" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3155.0 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3155.0 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BEF879.D76982A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Can I install through FTP if my cable provider gives me a dhcp ip?

How do I get it? Q: I get a ``panic: cant mount root'' error when rebooting the system after installation. A: This error comes from confusion between the boot block's and the kernel's understanding of the disk devices. The error usually manifests on two-disk IDE systems, with the hard disks arranged as the master or single device on separate IDE controllers, with FreeBSD installed on the secondary IDE controller. The boot blocks think the system is installed on wd1 (the second BIOS disk) while the kernel assigns the first disk on the secondary controller device wd2. After the device probing, the kernel tries to mount what the boot blocks think is the boot disk, wd1, while it is really wd2, and fails.

ICQ worked immediately !!!!! Apparently the existence of Netmeeting gets around all that messy (and apparently unreliable) SOCKS stuff.

This is pretty much untrue, because not all applications (industrial applications) for modems have a PC to talk to, so it's totally impossible for conventional modems to go away. I used to make my living tending large banks of modems, and not all applications are 56K even, because they are only justified if you have a very large modem pool. I think you're panicking prematurely, Ugen. You're also checking the very bottom of the market, and you're exaggerating (in your comment about shelling out lot's of cash for a conventional modem) the cost of a regular modem. Things just aren't that desperate. It's possible the trend is in a direction I don't like, but I'll still keep my external conventional modem. It's 33.6, not 56, which means that my friends can dial into my system, which they can't do if it's a 56K. That's very nice sometimes. ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@mat.net | communications topic, C programming, Unix and 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | carpentry.

We're looking at mass buying several thousand PCI modems. The cost for a non-winmodem model is about 3x the Winmodem style. (You can buy winmodems very cheap, since everyone is making them now. You can't buy non-winmodem's cheap because only a few are doing it, and they now charge a premium for this). Another issue is the upcoming death of ISA. Several of Intel's next chipsets don't support ISA at all, making this a somewhat timely problem.

This has been discussed positively to death, and in order for DHCP to work this simply had to happen. If you want network sniffage immunity, use a proper switch like the rest of us. :) As it is, any of one's Windows (or other OS) boxes can be turned into sniffers so easily that turning off bpf in FreeBSD is good for little more than a false sense of security. > This opens a *huge* security risk for anyone who doesn't > reconfigure their kernel or doesn't fully comprehend the potential > danger here.

The And as any lawyer can tell you, you can get sued for having the wrong colored hair if somebody decides that's worth going to court over. Nothing constitutes lawsuit protection because there's no such thing as lawsuit protection - you can be sued at any time and for any reason. The question is whether or not you'll win, and I think the likelyhood of that is small enough that I'm not going to lose sleep over it - FreeBSD, Inc. doesn't have enough assets to make it worth suing anyway, and if I were going to start seeing legal monsters under the bed then the packet filter would be the very LAST thing I'd be worried about.

I don't forsee the loss of external modems any time soon, they just aren't an option for our size requirements. As for internal modems, nearly everyone we talked to was dumping their ISA support, and Intel is really keen on getting rid of ISA. I'm not saying that I think non-winmodem PCI modems are going to disappear, but just having gone through this battle, I know it's getting difficult.

Then I boot to freebsd and install it. I do a "mount_msdos /dev/wd0s4 /usr/msdos-e" to mount the fat16 drive. Then I go to /usr/ports/whatever to install some ports. The command I use is "make DISTDIR=/usr/msdos-e/freebsd/ports/distfiles install" . Now the weird thing that happens is that if I type in a directory that was _not_ there originally (i.e. make DISTDIR=/usr/msdos-e/freebsd/foobar install) that obviously ends the install with an error,but the foobar directory is created. Is this a bug ? When I boot back into windows, the directory is magically there. It wasn't there before. Using 3.2-release.

As a matter of fact all i said is - we do not support REAL (UART based) PCI modems - those sitting on PCI bus and doing their modem thing. And this is important. I am quite sure there are many applications of the system where this is irrelevant. However if we are to continue being a viable choice for any user requiring remote dial up capability when ISA is phased out, we have at a very least to support PCI modems. > > > It's possible the trend is in a direction I don't like, but I'll still > > keep my external conventional modem.

Fetchmail seems to be very reliable in background mode.

Here's the problem: Whenever I attempt to boot my FreeBSD partition (I'm dual-booting FreeBSD & 98) it goes through all the normal bootup messages until it mounts the root partition ("changing root device to wd0s1a") and it immediately complains about "panic: MFS image is invalid!!" and forces me to reboot. This happens if I use kernel, kernel.old or kernel.GENERIC. What can I do to fix it?

That might not be necessary, eventually. I've heard, obliquely, of a project to develop "open source" modem (data pump) software that is obviously aimed at these things. It's not rocket science (well, not to DSP folks), and it is well and truly standardised. It would be a good final-year EE project in the right school. Also, since the theoretical limits of the POTS channel have pretty much been reached with V.34-bis or V.90, it's not even a moving target any more. No wonder they're cheap now. Does anyone know whether there's more to a "WinModem" than a line hybrid, a codec and a PCI interface? -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 6 19: 3:39 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.austin.rr.com (sm1.texas.rr.com [24.93.35.54]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EFDFC155C6 for ; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 19:03:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kweiss@austin.rr.com) Received: from rockefeller ([24.28.77.50]) by mail.austin.rr.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.5.1875.185.18); Mon, 6 Sep 1999 21:02:39 -0500 Reply-To: From: "Kevin Weiss" To: "FreeBSD Questions" Subject: dhcp/natd/ppp confusion Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1999 21:04:15 -0500 Message-ID: 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 IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Since I have a cable modem from the Road Runner service, I have to run DHCP (from what I understand).

Is this likely to cause a conflict due to two different sorts of processes accessing the ppp component at the same time ?? I've been some stuff called PPP-KIT that apparently was prepared by a guy "danny@freebsd.org" who appears to come from Melbourne Australia thats supposed to help with setting this stuff up so it works without the user having to be an expert (see the ReadMe file from the PPP-KIT below). Since there have been a few changes in the way FreeBSD does things over the past year or so, and as I understand 3.3 is coming very shortly, I'd appreciate any comments as to (1) Are there are conflicts using user-ppp & kernel-ppp at same time (2) Is it possible to tell if the PPP-KIT is relevant to present versions (3) Is there an advantage in using mgetty instead of getty .... and if so is it simply a matter of replacing references to getty or is there other stuff that needs to be done to use mgetty +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PPPKIT - A kit for using FreeBSD as a PPP terminal server. This kit provides all you need to make a FreeBSD box into a PAP login terminal server using the system password file for authentication. Its home is Comments to Useful stuff for everyone: 1. /bin/ppplogin.sh (should go in /usr/local/bin) which is a login shell for ppp users, and a pppd starter for getty. 2. /etc/gettytab - note the 'pp=' field in std.57600 & co. 3. /etc/ppp/ppp.ports - ports and IP addresses for ppplogin.sh 4. /etc/ppp/ppp.users - IP addresses for users with static IP addresses 5. /etc/ppp/ppp.deny - unames of users not allowed to use PPP 6. /etc/ppp/ppp.shells - allowed shells for a ppp session Installation ------------ * Make sure you have built a kernel with the appropriate number of ppp interfaces. * copy etc/ppp/ppp.* to /etc/ppp and edit appropriately (see below) * Edit /etc/ppp/options to include your local DNS server IP address, and the keyword 'proxyarp' if you need it. You need proxyarp if the IP addresses you have assigned to the modem ports really belong on your ethernet as defined by the IP address/netmask of your ethernet interface. * Install bin/ppplogin.sh into /usr/local/bin/ppplogin.sh. Edit the entries for std.57600, std.115200 and others in /etc/gettytab to have a tag pp=/usr/local/bin/ppplogin.sh. See the supplied gettytab for an example. * You should read ppplogin.sh to see what it does, and make any changes you feel you want to. * /etc/ppp/ppp.shells - this file defines which user shells are acceptable shells for PAP ppp logins using the system password file. It works in a similar manner to /etc/shells for ftp. If a user's shell is not listed in /etc/ppp/ppp.shells, pppd access is denied. You'll need to list at least /usr/local/bin/ppplogin.sh in this file. * /etc/ppp/ppp.deny lists the names of users who are not permitted to use pppd via PAP authentication using the system password file. * If you want users to be able to log in using a login script and normal Unix Login:/Password: prompts, give them a shell of /usr/local/bin/ppplogin.sh, otherwise, give them a shell of /pppok and list /pppok in /etc/ppp/ppp.shells. /pppok need not actually exist. /usr/local/bin/ppplogin.sh does not give the user shell access to the system, it simply starts pppd appropriately for the user when they log in. * /etc/ppp/ppp.users is used by /usr/local/bin/ppplogin.sh to give static IP addresses to some users when they log in via Login:/Password:, but not when they log in via PAP. To assign a static IP via PAP login, use /etc/ppp/pap-secrets Configuring Clients ------------------- Win95 * Turn off "Bring up terminal window" switch in "Dial Up Networking". The TCP/IP protocol must be installed. The "Client for Microsoft Networks" must be installed. In Control Panel:Network:TCP/IP:Bindings there *must* be an entry for "Client for Microsoft Networks" and this must be checked on. When dialling, enter your username and password at the "Connect To" info box and dial. Everything should work fine. Under FreeBSD, you might want to run "tail -f /var/log/messages" while you test things. Things work best for 95 if you turn off "Log on to Network", NetBEUI and IPX/SPX Macintosh FreePPP * Choose 'Direct' connection rather than 'Connection script'; enter the username and password information into the appropriate boxes, and PAP login will be performed.

I don't have as many users as I had originally anticipated, and /usr is almost full (67 MB free). I want to "resize" these two filesystems, but don't want to mess up any of the others on the disc. Will the following work?: - shut down to single user mode - perform a level 0 dump of /usr and /home - use sysinstall's label editor to remove the current filesystems, create the new ones, and format them using newfs - restore /usr and /home from dump files - start back in multi user mode (or should I reboot?) The concerns I have are: 1. Once I unmount /usr, I will no longer have access to certain binaries (those in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin). Do I/will I need anything from there? 2. Dump and restore shouldn't care that the filesystems are now different sizes (and possibly different names), right? 3. Will disklabel will rewrite /etc/fstab, if necessary? Is there anything else I need to do? Am I making too big of a deal out of this? -Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 6 19:40:34 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from www.keycomp.net (www.keycomp.net [207.44.1.33]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B4E3315425 for ; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 19:40:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from billieakay@yahoo.com) Received: from bopper (kc-rmt06.keycomp.net [207.44.1.8]) by www.keycomp.net (8.8.5/SCO5) with SMTP id WAA12310; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 22:46:49 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <00a901bef8d9$24614a20$01010101@bopper> From: "Bill A.

A large part of the problem in doing a Winmodem is because some of them only farm out the AT command set handling to your system, others farm out various pieces of the DSP work, and some do virtually nothing at all, just leave it to software. There isn't any standard, so there's not a whole lot to work with, and doing this hurts your system. > > -- > Andrew > ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@mat.net | communications topic, C programming, Unix and 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | carpentry.

As for you Sir: Since you are an employee of the USGS and by extenuation the U.S. = Government, I find your comment that this email message is your own = opinion, and not that of your employers to be ludicrous at best.

Granted, this may have a severely negative affect on you = carrier, but if you go around and step on land mines don't be too = astonished when one goes off. And finally, as for Microsoft IE4 for UNIX: I personally would be delighted to have Microsoft IE4 for UNIX on = FreeBSD. Even though Opera and other alternatives exist, I find that IE4 = is actually more stable and reliable in use. I would also like to see = Microsoft Office and Outlook ported to FreeBSD.

I don't see any mention of such functionality, but I'm not sure where to look other than a glance at the manpage. My SPECIFIC problem is that we want to share our burstable-to-T1 (through UUnet. This is the thing that BBN has been doing for a long time) connection with another company just down the hallway in our office building. To understand who should be paying what, we'd like to be able to track what the bandwidth usage is in a way analogous to however it is that they do it. For reference, they average the bandwidth over 5 minute intervals (the samples). Then the highest sample in the bottom 95% of the samples is your "bandwidth utilization" that they charge you at.

Yep, I believe that'd work fine as long as you set your dial and alive filters to ignore port 110. I actually run fetchmail on my laptop, but only when I'm at work. At home, fetchmail runs on a back end box, so I have the .linkup/ .linkdown setup. I actually use ``killall fetchmail'' in ppp.linkdown because I didn't know about ``fetchmail --quit'' :-P [.....] > -- > STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford. > OBSOLETE: Any computer you own. > ________________________________________________________________ > FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org > My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark/ > mailto:mark@ukug.uk.freebsd.org http://www.radan.com -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !

Some of them put the DSP on the card, but expect you to do the V.xx encoding in software; others want it all. Note that the DSP part of the work is the easy bit; the rest of the line protocols less so. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 6 23: 5:48 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from dingo.cdrom.com (castles530.castles.com [208.214.165.94]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7AA881560B; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 23:05:44 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mike@dingo.cdrom.com) Received: from dingo.cdrom.com (LOCALHOST [127.0.0.1]) by dingo.cdrom.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id WAA23486; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 22:56:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mike@dingo.cdrom.com) Message-Id: <199909070556.WAA23486@dingo.cdrom.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 To: Ben Williams Cc: FreeBSD hackers , FreeBSD questions Subject: Re: new kernel build, bad MSF image In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 06 Sep 1999 20:36:13 EDT." <9858.990906@home.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 22:56:29 -0700 From: Mike Smith Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > I have only recently begun to use FreeBSD but I consider myself > competent with Linux and I have had FreeBSD installed on my PC for > over a week now and I decided to build a kernel for my machine and get > rid of all the unnecessary drivers and whatnot (like everything SCSI, > the Qcam stuff, PS/2 mouse stuff, etc) and I finally got the kernel to > build after having to fight with it over the definition of the floppy > drive. > Here's the problem: Whenever I attempt to boot my FreeBSD partition > (I'm dual-booting FreeBSD & 98) it goes through all the normal bootup > messages until it mounts the root partition ("changing root device to > wd0s1a") and it immediately complains about "panic: MFS image is > invalid!!" and forces me to reboot.

It's hard to see how you could be ending up in this case, since to get that error message you have to have loaded an MFS root image, however the real problem is likely that there is something wrong with the way that you have laid your disk out. If the FreeBSD root filesystem is really wd0s1a, ie. in the first slice of the first IDE disk, it's hard to guess where you've put Windows. If it's not there, then there is something funky with your disk layout which is preventing the loader from finding the right filesystem. What you _don't_ say, and this is a criminal omission, is what you did to cause this. Since you managed to build a kernel at one point, you have had the system working before. If you won't admit to us what you've done to break it, how are we to guess at what might be required to fix it? -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 6 23: 5:54 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from finland.ispro.net.tr (finland.ispro.net.tr [195.174.18.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 34C57158C1 for ; Mon, 6 Sep 1999 23:05:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from yurtesen@ispro.net.tr) Received: from ispro.net.tr (c14pc16.dc.turkuamk.fi [193.166.135.241]) by finland.ispro.net.tr (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA95459; Tue, 7 Sep 1999 09:04:30 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from yurtesen@ispro.net.tr) Message-ID: <37D4B944.26521DF0@ispro.net.tr> Date: Tue, 07 Sep 1999 09:05:40 +0200 From: Evren Yurteen X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: dg@root.com Cc: David , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: irc.freebsd.org ??

During the great Backbone Cabal wars [0] [1], I learned a couple of rules: 1. The first person to resort to negatively comparing the other side to Hitler or the Nazis automatically loses the argument. 2. The first person to resort to using ad hominem attacks (e.g., calling someone "infantile") automatically loses the argument. Now, I'll make a deal with you. You tell me when you first learned your version of these rules on the 'net -- if that was before 1986 I'll be perfectly happy to switch to using your version of the rules for any discussion(s) I may (or may not) have with you in the future. Sound fair enough? [0] See . [1] I was just one of many thousands of undergrad CS students. I'm sure you wouldn't remember me. ESR says that it broke up in late 1988, but my personal recollection was that it was heaviest in 1986. Maybe that's just when I was most active in that battle. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.

Someone else was kind enough to explain to me why bpf is needed -- DHCP depends on it. While I find this a very regrettable situation, and I would encourage work to try to help ensure that this is not the case for long, I also recognize the utility of DHCP out-of-the-box, and that bpf probably has to be left enabled by default until such time as this problem can be fixed. However, I believe you will find that reasoned logical arguments such as "Feature X is required because of Y" will be much more likely to be a useful response and to quickly terminate any unnecessary or undesirable discussion of topics than something along the lines of "we're all sick and goddamn tired of this shit, so fsck off". -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.

You need IE4, use NT/95/98/3.1. 3 - FreeBSD is a Free Un*x, this means, system openness, open source... (I don't think M$ agrees with that) 4 - I sure don't want COM/DCOM object model (IE4 base layer) and all his security holes while we have an alternative as CORBA right now. (Kde, Gnome object models). Last, I use both NT and BSD. They're different, that's right, and that's why I use them both. No flames please. Eric MASSON "Bill A.

In fact, you have to put the / partition below the 1024th cylinder of your hard drive. If you have no important informations on your harddrive yet, you can change the geometry (with fdisk under sysinstall) so that you have no more than 1024 cylinders but you will loose all your partitions!

If he's concerned about loosing the tightly integrated sio<->isa stuff then I guess there could be an "osio" (old sio) or "isasio" or something driver that remains isa-specific.

I'm running FBSD 3.2 and trying to remotely backup a solaris 2.4 box using (solaris) ufsdump. I have at most 11 Gb to backup (and I doubt its even that much in total - that's merely the total HD space "available") to a HP SureStore DAT24, which SHOULD be able to cope with 12 Gb data uncompressed or 24 Gb compressed I'm told. I'm using a HP DDS-3 Data Cartridge which proudly advertsies its compressed capacity as 24GB - more than enough to store the data required. What I don't understand then is why when I attempt this backup the tape runs out! ie the backup requests a second tape! I've tried simply using 0f; and I've tried using 0busdf 126 375 97000, both to absolutely no avail - if anything specifying b,s and d actually makes matters worse!. FWIW, solaris ufsdump is as far as I can see the same as dump. So - my query is merely this - what the proverbial am I doing incorrectly ('cos I must be missing something very fundamental) and how do I force the compression on the backup ?

Last time I looked at the isc dhcpd web page they were still insisting that v3 is very alpha yet, and unless you have a need for one of its new features you should stick with v2 for now. Not saying you don't, but if what you've shown of your config file is the whole thing, you can certainly do it with v2. Anyhow your config looks reasonable to me, but I'm running v2.

Whether they are above or below 1000 depends on your intestinal fortitude, speed, accuracy, organizational politics, etc. One is that when you're doing a small domain you typically just type your changes right into the zone file, look them over with a critical eye, and HUP the server. At some point on the growth curve you decide that this is just way too risky, put all your master data into a database of some sort, and generate your zone files from the database with a script. Sanity checking is built into both the front- and back-ends. Another is that eventually some department is going to become dissatisfied with your service for whatever reason and want you to delegate their zones so they can manage them themselves. Once you agree to that they'll probably turn around and ask you to secondary the zones they're now primarying. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 7 8:40:48 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from relay.ucb.crimea.ua (relay.ucb.crimea.ua [212.110.138.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8CDE615569 for ; Tue, 7 Sep 1999 08:39:25 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ru@ucb.crimea.ua) Received: (from ru@localhost) by relay.ucb.crimea.ua (8.9.3/8.9.3/UCB) id SAA37865; Tue, 7 Sep 1999 18:37:39 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from ru) Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1999 18:37:39 +0300 From: Ruslan Ermilov To: James Gill , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: natd redirects not happening Message-ID: <19990907183739.A37555@relay.ucb.crimea.ua> Mail-Followup-To: James Gill , questions@freebsd.org References: <19990820102330.A44737@relay.ucb.crimea.ua> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.3i In-Reply-To: <19990820102330.A44737@relay.ucb.crimea.ua>; from Ruslan Ermilov on Fri, Aug 20, 1999 at 10:23:30AM +0300 X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Fri, Aug 20, 1999 at 10:23:30AM +0300, Ruslan Ermilov wrote: > On Thu, Aug 19, 1999 at 12:52:18PM -0400, James Gill wrote: > > > > I'm having trouble trying to redirect incoming connections to my > > firewall on specific ports to other machines on my network. > > > > In looking at my natd stuff in rc.conf and it seems (to me) to be > > right: > > -------------------------------------- > > ### FIREWALL AND NATD CONFIG ### > > firewall_enable="YES" > > firewall_type="open" > > > > natd_program="/sbin/natd" > > natd_enable="YES" #firewall_enable must also be set to yes > > # #and ipdivert must also be in kernel > > natd_interface="ed1" > > natd_flags="-f /etc/rc.natd" > > -------------------------------------- > > > > and the file rc.natd is long and full of comments, but here's the > > relevant section: > > -------------------------------------- > > ### redirected ports ### > > # redirect_port proto tergetIP:targetPORT [aliasIP:]aliasPORT \ > > # [remoteIP[:remotePORT]] > > # example: redirect_port tcp inside1:telnet 6666 > > # means that tcp packets destines for port 6666 on this machine will > > be sent > > # to the telnet port on the inside1 machine > > #redirect_port > > redirect_port tcp 10.101.101.33:21 21 #ftp > > redirect_port tcp 10.101.101.131:23 23 #telnet > > redirect_port tcp 10.101.101.33:25 25 #smtp > > redirect_port tcp 10.101.101.33:80 80 #www-tcp > > redirect_port udp 10.101.101.33:80 80 #www-udp > > redirect_port tcp 10.101.101.33:110 110 #pop3-tcp > > redirect_port udp 10.101.101.33:110 110 #pop3-udp > > -------------------------------------- > > > > What am i missing?

My guess is that he's worried that we'll end up with lots of additional 'indirection' through the system, thus slowing down the ability to service interrupts in a quick manner. Also, don't fast interrupts depend on the ISA bus? Fast interrupts are a requirement for *any* machine to run at a reasonable speed, old/slow or new/fast, it doesn't make any difference.

I have configured a webserver machine with one ethernet card to have two ip addresses, one on the sprint feed and one on the uu-net feed. The default route is set to the uu-net feed. I have set our dns to round robin the hostname between the two ip addresses. When some one trys to access the server the rodrobin 50/50 between the two addresses no problem but the reply goes out the default route (the uu-net feed). I am looking for two options here. A) if the request comes in on one feed the reply goes out the same. B) it uses the default route unless that feed is down then it switches to the other feed. I think routed will do it but have no clue as to how. Going full multihomed with bgp etc is not an option. Any help would be appreciated.

Using a 'make -DNOCLEAN world' one can 'push' it through. Specifically current 'current' is a pain. The weirdness is that I see this, to some extent, on several platform; 2.2.8, 3.2 and current. These are all pulled from CD and cvs-supped to their levels and stored on different (local) hard disk's with each machine (ide or scsi). The 'only' thing I can think off which is the same across the machines is that they all use 'de0' ethernetcards. Almost everything else is different, processor, memory, motherboard, etc. Powerspike's are not too likely either; as at least one machine is on UPS. Any hints or idea's as where to look ?

It seems to be laid out very nicely and I would like to know if anyone would care to take a crack at getting it to work on FBSD. It also uses shadow passwords so hacking at it and getting it to work with master.passwd should not be a huge problem :) well maybe it will. Anyway I do not have the time to do this myself and I was wondering if any of you would like to see if they can get this to work so that it would possibly benefit all of us. Also another idea would be if we could get it to work, to maybe put it in the ports tree. Just a couple of ideas. Please email me back if this sounds apealing and I will give you the download location for the source code. Thanks Chris Christopher T.

My apologies also if this is the wrong forum for this question, but I understand the -alpha list is dead now. I am itching to try FreeBSD on my Alpha board (a 164LX with 512Mb) but can't get past the kern.flp bootstrap. The output from SRM looks like: >>>boot dva0 (boot dva0.0.0.0.0 -flags 0) block 0 of dva0.0.0.0.0 is a valid boot block reading 14 blocks from dva0.0.0.0.0 bootstrap code read in base = 5e2000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 1c00 initializing HWRPB at 2000 initializing page table at 5d4000 initializing machine state setting affinity to the primary CPU jumping to bootstrap code At this point the bootstrap hangs. There is some bogus-sounding floppy activity, but I don't think much is happening. I read an old thread somewhere that mentions motherboard configuration (i.e jumpering for the size and type of memory etc) but it's not clear to me that this is the same problem. Also, since I don't have any documentation for the board, I wouldn't know which jumpers to set anyway. ;-) Do I need to tell SRM anything more than just "boot dva0"? Many thanks for any help you can give. /.J To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 7 11: 0:13 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from alpha.netvision.net.il (alpha.netvision.net.il [194.90.1.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 560F215A64 for ; Tue, 7 Sep 1999 11:00:01 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from danhil@cwnt.com) Received: from unspecified.host (RAS5-p59.hfa.netvision.net.il [62.0.147.59]) by alpha.netvision.net.il (8.9.3/8.8.6) with SMTP id TAA17872 for ; Tue, 7 Sep 1999 19:59:03 +0200 (IST) Received: from 192.168.0.46 ([192.168.0.46]) by 192.168.0.1 (WinRoute 3.04g) with SMTP; Tue, 7 Sep 1999 19:58:52 +0300 Message-ID: <048801bef963$130b51a0$2e00a8c0@nt46> From: "Daniel Hilevich" To: Subject: MFS size limit Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1999 19:59:12 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0485_01BEF96B.74CAFEB0" 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 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0485_01BEF96B.74CAFEB0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1255" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, Is there a limit on then size of a mfs file system?

This is easy if you build your own Emacs from source and impossible (AFAIK) using the pre-built package. Just grab the Emacs sources and follow the instructions in the INSTALL file. Just be sure to use the '--without-x' option for the configure script. #ifdef FLAME_BAIT IMHO, stuff like this builds a weighty argument for building most of your applications yourself, rather than relying on pre-built packages or port systems. #endif Lucas -- S.

Don't you think it's a tad early to be giving advice, seeing as you've have your freebsd installed less than a month and are admitedly not very knowledgable about it? sendmail isn't broken, so it doesn't need to be disabled until it's fixed. were you able to look at the files to see what is in them? is it a large number of small files or a small number of large files? I really would say the best place to start is to look at the contents of some of the files, and you may want to check the sendmail and messages log files. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Young [SMTP:young@richardson.apana.org.au] > Sent: Sunday, September 05, 1999 4:32 PM > To: John > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: mail queue filled > > When I first installed FreeBSD thats exactly what happened to me ... > disabled sendmail completely til someone figures out how to fix it > > > -----Original Message----- > From: John > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Date: Monday, September 06, 1999 1:52 AM > Subject: mail queue filled > > > >Hey all - > > > >I got hit with a problem last night that i'm not sure how to troubleshoot > >(mainly since I'm still learning). > > > >Around 2AM, cron kicked in /etc/periodic/daily.

In section 33.8.1 a reference is made to btree. You have to have compiled sendmail with NEWDB defined for this to be available. Doing a grep NEWDB /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/Makefile on my 3.2-STABLE gave DBMDEF= -DNEWDB so it's there by default.

I just know that if I were paying the cost of a 2nd T1 so that I could stay on the air when the first one went down, I would want to be sure that when one T1 went down all my traffic failed over to the other. But hey if it works for you, great. Remind me not to buy web service from your company. Anyhow, to answer your original question... Option A is not how IP works. At each hop, the path taken by a packet is based on it's destination address and that host's or router's current routing tables. There is no decision point based on the route taken in the opposite direction. Your reply path will be based on the destination address and the routing table at each hop along the way, including your web server. Option B is done all the time. Just point your web server's default route at your router and let the router make the decision which way to send it based on which link is up at the time. -Mitch >I know its not a perfect solution but if you look at what we had before 50% >is better then 100%.

When I ssh into my FreeBSD box using SecureCRT or F-Secure, and then edit a file using 'vi', my vi acts freaky. When I press "Down" button and scroll down beyond the screen size, my cursor often appear on a line different from one that's printed. I see a line and start editing it, but then I suddenly figure out that I am on different line and the line I need to edit is below or above. This never happens when I do the same on solaris or linux using the same Windows ssh clients. Anyone ever experienced this?

The mirrored plexes are on /dev/da0s3c and=20 /dev/da1s1c. Both are of type 'vinum'. I can successfully 1) create, 2) start the mirror plex,=20 3) create the newfs, 4) mount the file system,=20 5) copy files into the fs. But when I reboot, vinum reports that ** no drives found... If I run vinum and do the create command and read my configuration file, I can then remount the volume manually. This is FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE from CD-ROM. Here's the steps that I have performed to create a mirrored volume: 1) Using disklabel, created a vinum partition on /dev/da0s3c and /dev/da1s1c BTW: These partitions are ~3400M 2) Created the file: vinum.conf in the /root directory which contains: drive drive1 device /dev/da0s3c drive drive2 device /dev/da1s1c volume mirror plex org concat sd length 3300m drive drive1 plex org concat sd length 3300m drive drive2 3) Loaded 'vinum' 4) Typed 'create -f vinum.conf' 5) To start the mirrored plex 1: 'start mirror.p1' The plex remains in initializing until you start it. 6) Exited out of vinum: 'quit' 7) Created the newfs: 'newfs -v /dev/vinum/rmirror' Note: the newfs is created on the raw device 8) Mounted the newfs: 'mount /dev/vinum/mirror /mnt' 9) Copied some 'stuff' for testing: 'cp /sbin/* .' 10) Ensured that vinum was loaded at boot time by editing /boot/loader.conf and adding the line: vinum_load=3D"YES" 11) Edited the /etc/rc.conf to ensure that vinum new which drives were for it: vinum_drives=3D"/dev/da0s3c /dev/da1s1c" 12) Reboot and then vinum complains that=20 '** no drives found: No such file or directory' I've looked into the /dev/vinum/drive directory and everything looks okay. I know that I'm just not holding my tongue just right. Anyone have an insight? This how-to needs=20 a little tweek and it should work.

And userdb is not an alias file (even though it almost works like one). Newaliases is a link to the sendmail binary, it is the same as running 'sendmail -bi'. Makemap is a separate binary. The 8.9.3 sendmail binary does not know how to build any db files except alias files. So it is not possible to meet your goal with sendmail directly. Still it is easy enough to write up a make file to help you remember what commands to run to keep your various database files up to date.

The wrapping is noticed, as bad as Outlook. Netscape does the job as does pine in a xterm window. Mutt has a half hearted attempt at supporting IMAP.

Decebal If the goal is to run a ping sweep then there are better tools than ping(1) for this. I'd recommend looking at fping in the ports collection. for f in `jot 255` do for g in `jot 255` do echo 10.0.$f.$g done done | /usr/local/sbin/fping Much faster, easier to process the output and very much lower resource utilization than forking for every address.

I think your friend harbors some (justified) resentment towards windows... No you can't do that you'll have to set aside a seperate partition if you want to run both windows and FreeBSD.

Doug is correct, let me just explain a bit more though, see if you can locate the terminal settings under your window's client then try this: export TERM=what windows program says -or- setenv TERM what windows program says depending on your shell. if not you can try looking in /etc/termcap and trying to experiment with different terminal settings under your windows client setting TERM to match. you can find the current value of TERM by issueing "echo $TERM" good luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 7 14:59:41 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ns.clientlogic.com (ns.clientlogic.com [207.51.66.75]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 75973155D9 for ; Tue, 7 Sep 1999 14:59:38 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ChrisMic@clientlogic.com) Received: by site0s1 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Tue, 7 Sep 1999 17:58:58 -0400 Message-ID: <6C37EE640B78D2118D2F00A0C90FCB4401105C32@site2s1> From: Christopher Michaels To: 'Humberto Saback' , Lista FreeBSD Questions Subject: RE: What does it means? - PMAP_SHPGPERPROC Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1999 18:01:39 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Maybe this is my ignorance.

Here is what I have: It's very likely that there's a process holding a file open on /var that doesn't appear on the directory listings. (ie process opens a file on /var/tmp, then unlinks it).

Thank you. You need to update the /usr/ports/Mk directory off ftp.freebsd.org. The portmeisters have recently added a few macros that the later ports are using.

You have a single server connected to a lan with two links via T1 circuits to different back bone providers. You are using DNS Round Robbin to load balance requests over the two links into the host and the default router prefers one of the two T1s. You have one service running on the host that binds addresses from each of the T1 providers CIDR blocks. Am I close enough? DNS round robbin is good enough for this scenario. Most modern TCP clients follow the IETF recommendations and will try all addresses listed in the DNS for a host before they give up. So with one T1 down the client will wait only a short time before trying the other host. You must be using an A record round robbin to take advantage of this. CNAME round robbin configs are devil spawn. When one of the T1's goes down then you have the caching behavior of DNS to contend with anyway. If the circuit will be down for longer than your DNS TTL you might as well comment out the A record for the failing circuit. That will eliminate half of the client delay. Uncomment it again when things come back to normal. If you really want to eliminate missed tries in this scenario then you are talking about participating in backbone routing. That is not an action to take lightly. The routers with the T1s must take a full BGP4 route feed from their ISP's and the local network must run a dynamic protocol such as OSPF to propagate route changes to the clients. Once you have this in place then the out bound packets will take the "optimal" route back to the originating host. Unfortunately "optimal" has a strange definition here. BGP routes use "autonomous system hops" as their primary metric. For the most part a whole ISP is one "autonomous system". So while traceroute may show that by hop count one path is better than another, BGP will often show a different routing choice. Running backbone routing also means that you get to take part in all the other interesting backbone internet events. And all the administrative load that entails. If I were looking to optimize my uptime I'd settle for round robbin, good administrative practice and place my production servers in diverse colocation facilities. But that is just my opinion. chris Mitch Collinsworth writes: Ok, but what about my 2nd question: about round-robin during a T1 outage? Have you thought about this? Unless the round-robin feature is smart enough to detect the T1 outage and only give out the good address while the other one is down, you will still lose 50% of your hits. Is this the elimination of downtime you were after? -Mitch >That would be great if they would take the fastest route.

The FreeBSD box and all the workstations have their own IP addresses. The FreeBSD box has an internal modem (com 3) which is connected using user-ppp (ppp -auto demand) to the ISP modem, and allows everyone in the office to surf etc. It's setup so it doesn't time out. I'm also in the process of setting it up as a web server, mail server etc. However, I'm finding that every now and then (?a couple of times a day) it stops communicating. The debugging I've done so far is as follows: I've got a pppctl server running, so by doing set log local async I can verify that I am definitely sending stuff out the link. I can ping the IP address of my tun0 device successfully. I can't ping the IP address at the other end of the link. If I run a traceroute I get nothing. If I run ifconfig tun0 it's up, pointtopoint, running, multicast. If I run ifconfig ed0 it's up, broadcast, running, simplex, multicast If I run netstat -rn I get the routing table which looks OK (I guess?) - it at least does have a default route. Some other clues - it seems to happen, for example, when I have internet explorer running on one workstation, downloading a page and at the same time I check email on another workstation from a remote POP server. To get it running again I either restart the FreeBSD box or in pppctl do a 'down' then a 'dial'. This gets things running again. Any ideas on what further debugging I can do would be great.

Today i decide to cvsup RELENG_3, thing were ok, thanks! But there is one thing i could not understand. I was running 3.2Stable, after a successful RELENG_3 cvsuped, my system uname changed to: FreeBSD myname.my.domain 3.3-RC FreeBSD 3.3-RC #15: Tue Sep 7 17:46:52 EST 1999 root@myname.my.domain:/usr/src/sys/compile/ETOSHA i386 Nothing wrong, of course, but what's is 3.3-RC ? What does it stand for ? The problem i would like to make you know, is that i knows nothing about 3.3RC, and probably many other thing i have no ideia to look for! You could suggest me: Sign up for freebsd-questions, stable, security, cvs, ......... Ok, that's a choice, but nothing practice. FreeBSD quentions, delivers me about 100 mails, i have already signed up bugtraq, bos-br, only these 3 mailing list put about 200 messages in my mailbox. I have no ideia about how many messgaes could i get if i were subscribed to 50% off all freebsd ones i would like to sign up for. Sometimes i ask if i am the only one whom get such a problem, don't you suffer from the same stuff ? Isn't there any site that compiles the FreeBSD information in just ONE place ? If there is any, please, point me where to got. Another problem: How could i subscribe to security-notifications? I get a "Confirmation to FreeBSD-security-notifications" to EVERY confirmation i send. In other words, i cannot subscribe to it, cause, i have to send ad infinitum confirmatio requests to it. Can anyone help me ? Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation. Best Regards, Gustavo Rios.

I've been trying to solve a series of problems for the past month, and well, quite frankly, I need help =) Just thought I'd hit ya with them one at a time... I searched the mail archives, and found no direct answer with solution to this question: Upgraded from 2.2.6 to 2.2.8 no problems. Went from 2.2.8 to 3.2 no problem. *Almost* everything works great. Installed netscape communicator 4.5-us from the ports no problem. When I try to run, I get merlin# netscape & merlin# ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXt.so.6.0" [1] Exit 1 netscape Following several hints I found, I tried to make sure everything was installed. From pkg_info, I verify the following are installed: libsx-1.1 Simple X Windows library libtool-1.3 Generic shared library support script linux_base-5.2 The base set of packages needed in Linux mode Also, using locate, I verify the following: /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 /usr/compat/linux/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libXt.so.6.0 /usr/compat/linux/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libXt.so.6.0 a simple modification of my path does not help.

(etc.....) 0x240 irq10 Is your problem that Fbsd doesn't see the interface or that you can't communicate over DSL? If the former, check dmesg to insure that your interface is being seen, and ifconfig to make sure its configured with the correct IP, netmask, etc. If the latter, check your hardware (dsl box, cable, netcard). If you're running standalone, make sure you've got it plugged into the "computer" slot (not the "hub") on the DSL box. Try it with a known working PC (Win9X or NT) to make sure it works. Check your ifconfig to make sure you've got the right IP address and netmask. >> anyone using dsl out there? someone from pacbell told me dsl wouldnt >> work with freebsd and i told him he was wrong.

I will install off of the Walnut Creek 3.2-RELEASE CDs, but I would like to incorporate bug fixes, security patches, and the other updates that get added to STABLE on a regular basis. Now, The Powers That Be are very wary about using things downloaded from the Internet. They balk at the idea of basically replacing the _whole_ OS in one swoop if we CVSup STABLE as a whole and build from a new source tree. What I am trying to do is figure out how best to keep this machine fairly up-to-date with STABLE when there is a sneakernet connection somewhere between it and cvsup*.freebsd.org. Also keep in mind that a wholesale replacement of the sourcetree each time is not an option. I basically have three ideas at this point, 1) Generate STABLE "patch sets." A machine that is on the Internet will contain two source trees. One will be the latest CVSup; the other will be a mirror of the "isolated" machine's sources. I can diff the two trees to generate a patch set that will bring the isolated machine up to STABLE. After the patch is in place, the new CVSup becomes the mirror of the isolated machine for the next CVSup. This solution has advantages, the isolated system will be exposed to the minimum number of changes and the changes are clearly recorded in the patch set. In addition, this is the solution that requires sneakernetting the least volume of media (my guess is the patches can practically fit on floppies). 2) Run both cvsup and cvsupd on the isolated system. Mirror the CVS distribution of FreeBSD. Transfer the entire CVS tree to the isolated system where it will run CVSup as a client to itself. This has some drawbacks. I need to transport the whole CVS source tree each time and figure out how to run cvsupd. 3) Figure out what the heck CTM is. I don't know if I have ever heard anyone on mailling lists talk about it. However, it sounds like it would be basically doing most of the work in idea (1) for me. Does anyone out there do anything like this? Anyone have some ideas about the best way to get something like this done? Thanks for any help. -- Crist J.

I tried reading up on ldconfig, but got lost. If the 4.5 version is like 4.6, it is a FreeBSD a.out executable (the fact you get 'ld.so failed' rather than 'ld-elf.so' further reinofrces that assumption). Do you have, /usr/X11R6/lib/aout/libXtst.so.6.1 And is it in the output of 'ldconfig -aout -r'? -- Crist J.

I know that the promise Ultra ATA/66 is supported by the kernel but I can not figure out how to get the kernel to recognize it. I have tried to set the wdc0 settings to the actual IO and IRQ of the device and this didn't work. Then I just disabled all the wdc0 options and hoped that the PCI section of the kernel would automatically detect it, no luck. I am stuck. I used to run linux and all I had to do to get the linux kernel to recognize the device would be to pass "ide=0x1440,0x1016" on the boot prompt. Is there anything like this for the FreeBSD kernel?

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 Greetings, I've been attempting to bring up the latest Star Office (downloaded from sun.com) on my FreeBSD 3.2 machine, to little or no avail. While following the steps to untar the setup libraries into the compat/linux directory and adding to ld.so.conf etc works fine for the installation, after re-launching the program, the installer just runs over again. This problem was previously attributed to an incompatible (with FreeBSD) version of the library in a second version of 5.1. However, the replacement library on the kindly provided Australian FTP site has 516, not 517 in the name. Thus the library dependencies are wrong. If I hack around these dependencies, or add symlinks from the 516 to 517 versions, the program just SEGVs juring startup---from as much as my ktrace will tell me, after reading the passwd file (getpwent?) Following on, I tried pulling the older Star Office archive from the Australian site, but this required a product key. I can't get a product key now, because the 'key generation' page at Star Division now points to the free version at sun.com instead!!! I really don't want to have to upgrade my machine to Linux to run this stuff, as I am much more comfortable with *BSD having been using the system for the last 6 years. I also don't have time to fix the problem myself. Is anyone working on a solution to the StarOffice problem?

Create the account, and make its home directory the DocumentRoot of your webserver. Then put the account name in the file /etc/ftpchroot.

I am a former Linux user, sevral days ago I installed FreeBSD 3.2. I like this system much more than Linux, but I ran into some problems when I decided to install Gnome 1.0. I added all the necessary packages, in my .xinitrc I appended exec gnome-session & exec enlightenment But when I start X server, I cannot see anything but enlightenment. None of the Gnome icons or panels. When I run GnomeICU, then the gnome panel appears, but as I see, enlightenment and Gnome are completely independent from each other. When in my .xinitrc I leave only the line with Gnome i.e. exec gnome-session then I can see neither Gnome nor enlightenment applets. Please, if anybody had such kind of problems answer me, or tell me where can I find the answer for my question.

I've had a few problems with it going into a coma (happens in Win98 / NT4 / 2000 so its fairly obviously MSIE5 rather than the operating system) ... but with the BSD gateway running permanently I can fix MSIE5 by simply re-booting the offending gateway box.

Looks like there is something wrong with 3.2-STABLE kernel, cos my previous 3.1-STABLE kernel works with 3.2 binaries and Qmail just fine if do not consider the poor output from "ps -l" command. When I recompiled my 3.1 kernel to 3.2 the problem arised. I have two more 3.2-STABLE hosts which are ok with Qmail, but their hardware is different, they're IDE based and the problematic one also uses SCSI (NCR). Problem Description: -------------------- Problems differ from kernel configuration, looks like they appear when kernel is of some "size". I mean when you add more/less features to your kernel the problem appeares and even can change. Once I have excluded INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE option and problem disappeared but uncommented other and it appeared again. Also, I'm not sure only Qmail is vulnerable. I have noticed few cases of this problem which change from kernel to kernel: 1) Qmail sets wrong envelope sender address to , or for all users. %%%% mail letter 1 %%%% Return-Path: %%%% mail letter 2 %%%% Return-Path: 2) Qmail does wrong lookups on hosts it should send mail to though they're ok. %%%% mail letter 3 %%%% Sorry, I couldn't find any host named ????????????????lo0??.

What's the problem? Is this because of my attachments? So this time I don't send attachments, but will for request (my 3.1 and 3.2 dmesgs and kernel configs). The strange thing about 3.2 kernel configuration is that if I uncomment for example "sl" or "plip" device then I get into serious troubles - qmail envelope "" problem. If I use 3.2 kernel as it is shown it just does not find hosts it should deliver mail to, but only for e-mails which bounce as far as I remember. I've been debugging this problem for a long time but I can not go that deep to find a source of it. I'm ready to take some tests and waiting for your advices/questions. == Yaroslav Terletsky --0-115667752-936644078=:39456-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 8 4: 1:30 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from btm4r4.alcatel.be (btm4r4.alcatel.be [195.207.101.110]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F2C5E14E3A for ; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 04:01:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from francois.duthilleul@alcatel.be) Received: from btmq9s.rc.bel.alcatel.be (btmq9s.rc.bel.alcatel.be [138.203.65.182]) by btm4r4.alcatel.be (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id MAA07348; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 12:59:45 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from alcatel.be ([138.203.66.92]) by btmq9s.rc.bel.alcatel.be (8.8.8+Sun/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA02955; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 13:00:01 +0200 (MET DST) Message-ID: <37D64193.8C0265EA@alcatel.be> Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 12:59:31 +0200 From: Francois Duthilleul Organization: Alcatel - The Hi-Speed Company X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Konrad Heuer , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Boot Disk????

Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The way most people seem to do this is with a dual boot menu, but I've never liked that system so I figured out something that works better for me. Whether you go the "conventional' route or the "unconventional" one , you will have to contend with the unix "feature" that won't let it boot on large hard drives, so you do need to make sure the boot partition has less than 1024 sectors or thereabouts. There is a screen that appears early in setup that lets you organize partitions so just make a /boot partition about 20Mb and it will be OK. Like I said before , I personally don't like dual boot menu's, so I either disable (temporarily) primary or secondary master in BIOS, or alternatively use one of those generic $25 removable hard drive gadgets and just turn off the hard drive I don't want to boot from. As long as you have a reasonably recent pentium or 686 motherboard it should have the facility in BIOS to disable one IDE channel > If I set up win95 on my master HD 8.4G and my BSD on slave HD > 3.2....will I have to do any partitioning of any kind?

What should I change? _default_ is a sort of placeholder. If there is a https request that doesn't match a particular virtual host, then this is the one that is supplied by the server. The one to change is the one that you don't want to be the default 8). If you want neither to nbe the default, then create a third v-host that contains nothing useful. What is missing from your set up is an IP address that apache is bound to for your host, and a server name. For example: > > DocumentRoot /home/tobey/public_html/lucknowenterprises.com > ServerName 209.150.92.95 becomes DocumentRoot /home/tobey/public_html/lucknowenterprises.com ServerName www.lucknowenterprises.com . . . This way, a request from https://www.lucknowenterprises.com/ will get the lucknowenterprises.com server. Hope this helps a little, Adam.

My suggestion is to get that script and see if it works for you .... then let me know what problems you have and just maybe I will be able to help with problems similar to the ones I had. There is a bit of hocus pocus involved in running shell scripts that I had no idea about .... once its copied to /bin (or wherever else you decide to put it) & renamed (mcopy abbreviates the name so you need to run mv ppp_sc~1.sh ppp_script.sh, then you need to run something like "chmod 777 ppp_script.sh" to make it workable ..... obviously you need to download it first (sounds like you have a windows internet box) and copy to the BSD box (or partition). Its MUCH easier to do that if you have a util! ity called "mtools" installed (its in the packages collection on the FreeBSD CD-ROM) as you can use simple DOS commands (with "m" in front of them) ...... eg "mcopy A:\ppp_script.sh /bin" instead of having to figure out three lines of "mount" stuff Best of luck ..... that got mine working fine > I tried many times but i still not know what is the problem > my win98 use freebsd to connect internet, but fail > and freebsd use dial up (ppp). > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 8 4:35: 3 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from finland.ispro.net.tr (finland.ispro.net.tr [195.174.18.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D46CF15785 for ; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 04:34:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from yurtesen@ispro.net.tr) Received: from localhost (yurtesen@localhost) by finland.ispro.net.tr (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA76192; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 14:33:43 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from yurtesen@ispro.net.tr) Date: Wed, 8 Sep 1999 14:33:42 +0300 (EEST) From: Evren Yurtesen X-Sender: yurtesen@localhost To: Gunnar Flygt Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Linux is better than FreeBSD on X?

NB: Packet should be passed to natd(8) for the aliasing to take place. This is done by `divert' rules of ipfw(8). Seems obvious?

Basically, natd(8) treats the packets as either incoming or outgoing. For outgoing packets, it changes the `ip_src' so that it becomes equal to the ALIAS_IP. ALIAS_IP is one of the a) interface's primary address (if `-n ifname' option is used); b) IP address explicitly specified with a `-a' option; c) publicIP address of the `redirect_address localIP publicIP' command; the latter is only true for packets with ip_src==localIP. d) similarly for `redirect_port'. An entry is then made (for cases `a' and `b') in the internal translation table to record this fact (that the source address has been changed). For incoming packets, the reverse action takes place. For packets with ip_dst==ALIAS_IP, the correct ip_dst is looked up in the internal table, and reverse substitution is being done. For example, if the following rule has been given (redirect_port localIP publicIP), the incoming packet with ip_dst==publicIP is rewritten so, that its ip_dst=localIP. So, why your internal hosts can't reach your Web server by 209.197.192.68? Because your firewall rule for natd(8) looks like: NNNNN divert natd ip from any to any via ed0 This causes natd(8) to work only on packets sent/received via external interface ed0. The following will do the trick (add these rules to the above one): NNNNN divert natd ip from any to any http NNNNN divert natd ip from any http to any Note, that there is no `via' keyword, so the aliasing will take place for internal hosts as well. > I have trapped the following on the external > interface when the gateway box tries to ping the inside box using the > external secondary address: > > 11:25:17.459779 arp who-has 209.197.192.68 tell 209.197.192.66 > 11:25:18.469800 arp who-has 209.197.192.68 tell 209.197.192.66 > > So it looks like the gateway is ARPing for the alias address on the > external interface - the same interface the alias is attached to! > > Is this a FreeBSD bug? Seems like it ought to RARP itself :) > This is another story. 209.197.192.68 should be in static ARP table, of course, if 209.197.192.68 has been aliased to the interface. Everything could be done by properly adjusting ipfw(8) and natd(8) rules. It's not easy to make the gateway box access the inside box using the external secondary address. For this to work (if you really need to) you will have to change the natd's idea about incoming and outgoing packets. This could be done with `-i' and `-o' options of natd(8), and writing some rules for ipfw(8). The best way is to run natd with `-v' and test on the fly. > I am also confused why the translation didn't take place first. > I ran natd in -v mode to see what it was doing: > > dudemon% s /sbin/natd -v -f /etc/natd.conf -n ed0 > Out [ICMP] [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) aliased to > [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) > Out [ICMP] [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) aliased to > [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) > Out [ICMP] [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) aliased to > [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) > Out [ICMP] [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) aliased to > [ICMP] 209.197.192.66 -> 209.197.192.68 8(0) > ^C > > No translation taking place? What am I missing? > As I said above, for outgoing packets, natd(8) changes the `ip_src' of the packet to the ALIAS_IP. In your case (-n ed0), ALIAS_IP is 209.197.192.66, so natd(8) changes 209.197.192.66 to 209.197.192.66, in other words, does nothing.

So which X server are you using? The XFree86 FAQ (http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/#Trio3D) says.. Q.F18- Is a server for the S3 Trio3D, Trio3D/2X or the S3 Savage3D or the Savage4 available? XFree86-3.3.5 supports all these chipsets as part of the SVGA server. Please note that S3 Savage3D support was not tested and Savage4 support is currently restricted to Linux and the Intel Platform. So you should be using the XF86_VGA16 or XF86_SVGA server. According to the card list, it's VGA16, according to the FAQ it's SVGA, so I'm assuming both should work.

Linux is by no means a solution to crappy hardware. Especially since you can just use the linux X server under FreeBSD's Linux emu. FreeBSD's Linux emulation ran the RedHat i740 Xserver for me for about 2 months without a problem. (Before 3.3.4 came out that is.) So I would suggest just using that, and then when the next XFree86 comes out, you'll be set. Also, I think the latest XFree86 4.0 snapshot supports your card.

I also inquired as to why we needed to exec an WM at all since gnome should handle it. I got several answers that didn't solve the problem, but did start me on a trail to solve it.... here's what I recall doing: there is a /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gnome directory...the contents of /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gnome should actually be in /usr/X11R6/share/gnome (do a strings on a few gnome commands to see....) You also need to set your gnome-wm, I forget the variable name, and this NT box won't tell me, look in /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-wm or gnomewm or whatever its just a shell script it should give you a variable named GNOME_WINDOWMANGAGER or something similar. create your .xinitrc to look something like: GNOME_WINDOWMANAGER=enlightenment exec gnome-session actually I think gnome-wm defaults to enlightenment... which means you can just use: exec gnome-session On another note: you should only exec once in that shell script of yours, exec gnome-session & exec enlightenment shouldn't work since exec replaces the current proccess, the second proccess never gets run.. hence you never see either with that script because gnome is taking over and not running properly (see above to fix) and enlightenment never gets run. Hope this helps. -Steve At 02:23 PM 9/8/99 +0400, you wrote: >Hi All! > >I am a former Linux user, sevral days ago I installed FreeBSD 3.2. >I like this system much more than Linux, but I ran into some problems >when I decided to install Gnome 1.0. >I added all the necessary packages, in my .xinitrc I appended > >exec gnome-session & >exec enlightenment > >But when I start X server, I cannot see anything but enlightenment.

And partitioning will be done as part of the FBSD install program. Your two disks can be easily handled by the FBSD boot manager. But if you ever reinstall Windows, it will mess things up. (Bill Gates does not think that anyone in the world uses anything but Windows.) If you must reinstall Windows, you will have to set up the FBSD boot manager again after the Win reinstallation is finished. Please thoroughly browse the web site: www.freebsd.org Basically, if you have a highspeed internet connection, you should download the two installation floppies (boot.flp and root.flp), and a DOS/Windows program which will put them on the floppy media for you. These are not DOS or Windows files; they must not just be copied over to the floppies using the DOS copy command or Windows "drag and drop". If you try that you will get an error message. Be sure that you follow the instructions carefully to do this and to accomplish the installation after you have the installation floppies. If you do not have high speed net access, I recommend buying the CD-ROMs. > Do you plan on making any tutorials for this kind of set up if it turns > out to be complicated?

You will, however, have to read them, and the more carefully you read them, the easier the install will be. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of FBSD users have done this before you, so take heart. Try to find someone with FBSD or Linux experience to "look over your shoulder". 32MB of ram is enough, but things will go better (both in FBSD and Windows) if you buy more. 64MB is the minimal amount I recommend to people these days. FBSD will work better in low memory situations than Windows. It is designed to be more efficient. > Thanks if you can help, > Sherri > ps...my college gives out notes on windows floppies.....will I be able > to bring them up in unix? > > Depends on the format of the notes. You can certainly read the floppies under FreeBSD. There are a couple of ways to do that. If they are, for example, Microsoft Word files, the answer is "not without a lot of configuration of your FreeBSD system first". In this case, set up FreeBSD, then post back here when you have a working system. If you set up a dual boot system (alluded to above; the procedure is outlined in the Handbook; see the web site), you will be able to read them under Windows. And you should lobby your college faculty to distribute notes in an architecture-neutral format such as PDF or HTML, not in some proprietary Microsoft format. -- M. L.

GUIs are separate from the operating system on Unix versions. You will be able to install a GUI when you do the OS install. But you won't be able to run it in 4MB.

Sorry if you're seeing this twice. I am trying to set up a very reliable server in a very remoten location, and I thought vinum would be the perfect tool to provide resiliance at not too much cost. I'm having some problems in my testing it, however: I have a server (compaq 1850r) with two host-swappable drives. I am trying to simulate a drive failure and figure out how I would recover from it. I couldn't find too much documenation on how to do this, so I'm making some guesses in the process. I am running 3.2-RELEASE as it comes on the walnut creek cdrom. Here are all the steps I take: My vinum config looks like this: drive d1 device /dev/da0g drive d2 device /dev/da1e volume tezzt plex org concat sd length 0 drive d1 plex org concat sd length 0 drive d2 Both /dev/da0g and /dev/da1e are 200MB partitions pe "vinum". 1. vinum create -f /etc/vinum.conf This is where the first strange thing comes in - tezzt.p1.s0 state is "initializing", but I see no disk activity. Having lost patience waiting, I do: 2. vinum stop tezzt.p1 ; init tezzt.p1 ... lots of disk activity on the 2nd drive this time... ... tezzt.p1.s0 is up ... tezzt.p1 is up. Good! 3. newfs -v /dev/vinum/tezzt ... OK, 199.9MB 4. mount /dev/vinum/tezzt /mnt 5. Now I run a script that creates some I/O activity on it, from here on referred to as the "io script": while /usr/bin/true; do cp -R /usr/src/release/picobsd cat `find /mnt` > /dev/null done ... I see lots of I/O on both drives 5. Now I YANK THE SECOND DRIVE while this is going on!!! ... the system seems to pause for a few seconds ... kernel spits out a bunch of messages ..invalidating pack.. ..fatal write error.. etc... ... the systems comes back to life and I can see the drive going, io script still running. Excellent!!! (so far) "vinum lv -r" reports tezzt.p1 faulty tezzt.p1.s0 stale At this point in a real world situation I would presumably notice the failure. From here on I'm guessing I should do this: 6. vinum stop tezzt.p1 7. reboot, reinsert the drive 8. "vinum lv -r" reports tezzt.p1 is "down" The goal is to mirror all my partitions, including root (I have an MFS root whith symlinks to "root" which I'll mirror). So if this were for real, that filesystem would be mounted before I get a chance to fix it. To simulate this, I mount it first, then see how I'm going to fix it. 9. fsck /dev/vinum/rtezzt ...OK mount /dev/vinum/tezzt /mnt ls -l /mnt ...files are there, good. 10. I start my io script again. Lots of disk activity on the fisrt drive. (The second one is down.) 11. vinum init tezzt.p1 ... initializing ... initialized This is where things get *really* strange.... ... tezzt.p1.s0 is reviving (<- makes sense) ... tezzt.p1 is faulty (<- understandable) BUT I see *NO* I/O on the second drive. "vinum ls -v" shows tezzt.p1.s0 revive pointer: 64KB (0%) Loosing patience waiting again, resorting to crapshoots: 12. kill the io script 13. vinum stop tezzt.p1 ; vinum init tezzt.p1 ... initializing ... is up 14. umount /mnt mount /mnt ls /mnt: Bad file descriptor (??????????) trying again... 15. umount /mnt mount /mnt ls /mnt/* syncing disks..... ***total system crash*** What did I do wrong? What am I supposed to do to recover from a drive failure? Could the fact that /mnt lives on an MFS root be part of the problem? Thanks!

For example, if I own the Class C 111.72.34.* (which I don't), I'm responsible for the 111.72.34.IN-ADDR.ARPA zone. Here's my problem: I have 5 static IP addresses, that my ISP leases me along with my ADSL line. So, who's in charge of reverse DNS for those 5 addreses? Unless I'm mistaken, the granularity of reverse DNS isn't such that I can handle just my 5, and the ISP does the rest. Instead, I assume that my ISP is responsible for reverse DNS on those 5, so it's up to me to tell them what maps to what. This would also imply that I don't do any reverse DNS at all (I'm not sure what this would mean for local reverse DNS stuff, except that maybe it just gets forwarded like any other unknown DNS request).

But that is just my opinion. In other words, round-robin between entirely separate machines plugged into entirely separate power companies, not just multiple T1s to a single machine. Good thinking.

And, in any case, a downed line will be discovered by timeouts; this really sucks from the user's perspective, since timeouts take just this side of forever. Round robin addresses are fine for load balancing. They don't provide an adequate failover mechanism. For that, you need BGP. One doesn't need to receive a full routing table but one does need to broadcast ones addresses.

If you run `timed -M', that time daemon will become a master if no other master is on the network, or if the master goes down. What I do is run `timed -F scientia' (on the machine called scientia), which I believe forces that machine to be a master (-F scientia means "only trust scientia (i.e. myself) to have the right time", or something). Run timed -M on other machines on your LAN which you want to become a master (you can use more than one, they won't both end up being a master) if the master goes down, and with no arguments on all the slave machines. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 8 10:25:27 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from D2SI.COM (D2SI.COM [63.224.10.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1B29214D65 for ; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 10:25:20 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from alec@D2SI.COM) Received: (from alec@localhost) by D2SI.COM (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA47927; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 12:24:36 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from alec) From: Alec Kloss Message-Id: <199909081724.MAA47927@D2SI.COM> Subject: Re: Reverse DNS question In-Reply-To: <3.0.6.32.19990908113252.008181e0@mail.9netave.net> from "chris@tourneyland.com" at "Sep 8, 1999 11:32:52 am" To: chris@tourneyland.com Date: Wed, 8 Sep 1999 12:24:36 -0500 (CDT) Cc: freebsd-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 chris@tourneyland.com said: > Hi, > > I've been reading a little about DNS, inlcuding about the responsibility a > DNS server it has for reverse DNS.

Short answer, yes with an if. Long answer, no with a but. If you don't mind having to get your ISP to configure your reverse DNS stuff and having to get them to change it whenever you feel like it, you can let them take care of all the details and you can leave it all alone. But, if you want control over the reverse DNS on your addresses for whatever reason (you are curious about how to do it or you want to be able to change them without dealing with your ISP), you'll need to do it yourself. RFC2317 documents one way of doing this. (As I was glancing around the net, I found http://www.ripe.int/inaddr/infosources.html which seems to be helpful.) My ISP uses an alternative which uses IN NS records instead of the IN CNAME records. It seems to work pretty well. > - Chris > > > > 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 Sep 8 10:36: 8 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix, from userid 758) id 9655914F75; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 10:36:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8735A1CD8A7; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 10:36:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kris@hub.freebsd.org) Date: Wed, 8 Sep 1999 10:36:07 -0700 (PDT) From: Kris Kennaway To: Tomer Weller Cc: Questions Subject: Re: weird Xfree86 Issue In-Reply-To: <99090818562500.00339@Tomer.Home.Org> 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 Wed, 8 Sep 1999, Tomer Weller wrote: > I can only start my Xfree when ppp is up and running, is that a known problem ?

I can't make any sense at all out of this paragraph. However, you should do two things. Buy and read the BIND book that about 14 people have told you to buy and read so far. AFTER you are done with that, feel free to ask some more questions, but if they are bind-only questions do it on the bind-users list, not the freebsd lists. Second, you should contact your ISP and get them to help you with this specific problem, since that's what you're paying them to do, and without knowing the IP's involved there is no way any of us can answer your questions with anything but guesses, which are likely to be wrong.

Boot loaders failing 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 Here's the problem: BootMgr or any other boot loader I've tried (incl. OS-BS) crashes the system and restarts anytime I select my FreeBSD partition for booting. Furthermore, the standard windows boot loader (reinstalled with fdisk /mbr) ALSO crashes! (whereas I can start windows okay from BootMgr) Some Background: Naturally, it didn't just start this out of the blue...here's the twisted tale. I run windows95 and Freebsd on this system. I recently reinstalled freebsd, upgrading it to 3.2 from 2.6. In doing so I wiped the old freebsd partition and recreated it for 3.2. After doing this, and having everything work fine, I let my windows virus scanner (Norton) "repair" my modified MBR for the drive and the boot record for C: (this was the big mistake). Now windows will only boot from BootMgr (not it's own MBR) and Freebsd will only boot from a boot disk. Can anyone take a stab at this? I suspect that my partition tables in the MBR are now somehow wrong but, if this is the case, I don't know how to restore them without wiping my freebsd partition. Please address responses to me personally, as well as the list. Thanks a lot!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG All right.. I have here 4.0 snapshot from 27 of August. I also installed XFree 3.3.4 - yes, they say it's not the best release and it does behave weirdly but this is not the problem.. Anyhow, i run XF86Setup and it starts X in 640x480 mode which is good. I am able to configure it , however results never get saved and restart of server doesn't work. I copied the same files XF86Setup uses as X configuration file (it's in /tmp/.XF86Setupsomething etc) and tried to run X with those files - but i only get 320x200 mode. Now, i do have ATI Rage Fury card which as itself is not supported by XFree yet AFAIK. But it should work in SVGA mode? Instead SVGA server ignores all my mode settings and goes right for 320x200 built-in. Why does it do that? How is it that XF86Setup succeedes to run X in 640x480 with the same config file? And what the hell do i do now (short of buying another video card)? --Ugen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 8 12:44:17 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from scientia.demon.co.uk (scientia.demon.co.uk [212.228.14.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 53D5414D62 for ; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 12:43:54 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ben@scientia.demon.co.uk) Received: from lithium.scientia.demon.co.uk ([192.168.0.3] ident=exim) by scientia.demon.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 3.032 #1) id 11OlfD-0009JA-00; Wed, 08 Sep 1999 18:37:43 +0100 Received: (from ben) by lithium.scientia.demon.co.uk (Exim 3.032 #1) id 11OlfB-0006nc-00; Wed, 08 Sep 1999 18:37:41 +0100 Date: Wed, 8 Sep 1999 18:37:41 +0100 From: Ben Smithurst To: chris@tourneyland.com Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Reverse DNS question Message-ID: <19990908183741.A26088@lithium.scientia.demon.co.uk> References: <3.0.6.32.19990908113252.008181e0@mail.9netave.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.6i In-Reply-To: <3.0.6.32.19990908113252.008181e0@mail.9netave.net> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG chris@tourneyland.com wrote: > I've been reading a little about DNS, inlcuding about the responsibility a > DNS server it has for reverse DNS.

Most WUSIWUG Unix = editors use Postscript as their basic document format. As for the rest, You might want to sit back and think about this a = little more.=20 My suggestion would be to get a second computer and install FreeBSD on = that. This way you can be more productive (in any given time frame). I = do not know why you want FreeBSD ( although you have picked the BEST = free OS in my opinion ), if it is due to the courses that you are taking = then you definitely need to consider the following: 1) Win95 is essentially a games OS, it is also very prone to crashing = when you least expect it, I strongly recommend that you switch to = Windows NT Workstation. (For stability, if for no other reason). 2) A separate computer (FreeBSD) for your course work (like programming = Unix, etc.) If you network the two machines together you can use X-Windows from the = NT side to access the FreeBSD box (thus eliminating the requirement for = a separate Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor). Or, if you do not need = graphics, use telnet. In setting everything up and getting them to work together, document = EVERYTHING. Depending upon the course you are taking you can submit the = documentation for extra credit . (A real consideration for a collage = student). If you are thinking of a career in the computer industry, = anything learned by doing this will directly apply to the 'real world', = thus giving you a well learned skill set, and knowledge of systems = integration. I encourage you to take this email to your councilor for further = discussion, as most collages do give credit for things like this. In all, I wish you good luck and a wonderful collage experience, = regardless of what your final career choice may be. Michael W. Akers M. Akers Enterprises Unix/NT Systems Administration and Systems Integration P.S. If you have any questions on this matter of dual systems, please = feel free to contact me directly. ---------- From: Shreela [SMTP:shreela@dcnet2000.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 1999 1:08 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Win on master/BSD on slave?

In such an event your customers would have the legal right to sue you. They might try to sue a volunteer organization, e.g. FreeBSD, however that might be a stiffer battle. You might opt to sue FreeBSD, however that too might be an uphill battle. You as the service provider are the one responsible for choosing a product and choosing the personnel to install and maintain that product leaving you almost fully culpable. Furthermore since FreeBSD Inc. is comprised of a group of volunteers and has few if any assets, who would you sue and how much would you get? In short, in this case the service provider would be mostly responsible. For applications and services that, if compromised or interrupted, could lead to litigation, one would be well advised to hire persons with the expertise and have the paperwork to back up any decisions made to avoid such law suits.

Whether you go the "conventional' route or the "unconventional" one , you will have to contend with the unix "feature" that won't let it boot on large hard drives, so you do need to make sure the boot partition has less than 1024 sectors or thereabouts. There is a screen that appears early in setup that lets you organize partitions so just make a /boot partition about 20Mb and it will be OK. Like I said before , I personally don't like dual boot menu's, so I either disable (temporarily) primary or secondary master in BIOS, or alternatively use one of those generic $25 removable hard drive gadgets and just turn off the hard drive I don't want to boot from. As long as you have a reasonably recent pentium or 686 motherboard it should have the facility in BIOS to disable one IDE channel > If I set up win95 on my master HD 8.4G and my BSD on slave HD > 3.2....will I have to do any partitioning of any kind?

Most WUSIWUG Unix editors use Postscript as their basic document format. That will certainly work well .... but a bit expensive solution for a student. There was a discussion on the questions list a while back about a utility called "CUPS" thats supposed to let unix send print jobs directly to regular desktop inkjet printers .... it that works it might possibly be a more economical solution for home use. As for the rest, You might want to sit back and think about this a little more. My suggestion would be to get a second computer and install FreeBSD on that. This way you can be more productive (in any given time frame). I do not know why you want FreeBSD ( although you have picked the BEST free OS in my opinion ), if it is due to the courses that you are taking then you definitely need to consider the following: I agree .... its probably the best solution as long as the money is available. What I use in situations where a second machine is out of the question is either one of those generic $25 (in Australia anyway) removable hard drive thingies to disconnect the drive I don't want to boot, or if the motherboard is a reasonably late one just go into BIOS and temporarily disable the primary master ..... always worked better for me than those boot managers 1) Win95 is essentially a games OS, it is also very prone to crashing when you least expect it, I strongly recommend that you switch to Windows NT Workstation. (For stability, if for no other reason). As long as she doesn't have heaps of legacy games :) ..... but then do moderately "serious" BSD hackers waste time on such triviality ??

I have a P2/200/64mb/2gb running a recent version of STABLE (3.2 I think) with only video and ethernet cards and both serial ports turned on in the BIOS. The kernel recognizes both PORTS (sio0 & sio1) when it boots but I still have the situation described here. Also possibly of note is the fact that I am still running kernel.GENERIC on this box as I haven't had time to recompile it yet. Surely running the generic kernel wouldn't cause it to not talk to a serial device? /snips for clarity/ Ok I dug out the cu man page and followed your directions which was the same as my original plan to talk to each port but now I have run up on something stranger. Whenever I cu -l/dev/cuaa0 [-s115200 or -s1200] (this meaning with no speed option or with either 115200 or 1200 speed option) I get "Connected." but that's all I ever receive from the port. I issue several AT commands (ATZ ATE0 AT ATZ ATE1 AT ATZ ~.) ((all followed by a of course)) and I get nothing. Next I do the same thing with cuaa1 and I never get "Connected." so I am assuming my modem is on cuaa0 since it connects but I cannot successfully send commands to it. The modem is a USR 28.8 Sportster and if I recall my AT commands ATE1 enables local echo from the modem, but even there I have myself covered by having an ATE0 as well. -- Ben BW> On or about Wednesday, September 08, 1999, sometime around 3:01:29 PM, you said: WS>> On Wed, Sep 08, 1999 at 02:46:07PM -0400, Ben Williams wrote: >>> I help to remotely administer a FreeBSD server that recently got an >>> external modem addition but I don't know which port they plugged it in >>> to.

The one below, and "make sure that you have compat22 installed". So, I did what any normally insane person would do, and I remade X from the port after a last-minute CVSup to make sure all was sound (made 3.3.5). While making X, there was a prompt saying "do you want aout libraries installed", to which I typed in "yes". I was not sure how to verify that compat22 was installed (since it doesn't show up in pkg_info). Intuitively I figured that since compat22 shows up under the /usr/src tree, and I "make buildworld" from there, it should install, right? Just to make sure I went into /usr/src/lib and did a "make all install". I then had to manually grab netscape4.6 per the make instructions, and the make depend and make went flawlessly. Upon a make install, however, I get the message "Netscape requires shared library X11.6 - found" Followed by "There are no X aout libraries on this machine". Any more suggestions, folks?

Since there have been a few changes in the way FreeBSD does things over the past year or so, and as I understand 3.3 is coming very shortly, I'd appreciate any comments as to (1) Are there are conflicts using user-ppp & kernel-ppp at same time (2) Is it possible to tell if the PPP-KIT is relevant to present versions (3) Is there an advantage in using mgetty instead of getty .... and if so is it simply a matter of replacing references to getty or is there other stuff that needs to be done to use mgetty +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PPPKIT - A kit for using FreeBSD as a PPP terminal server.

I've looked at the "Changes" list for FreeBSD 3.2 and I do not see any changes relating to the routing socket interface. (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.2R/notes.html) We are having some problems with the interface in 3.2 that do not appear in 3.1. Particularly, we are seeing some interface changes not being reported through the routing socket. Can you send me a short summary of any changes that may have occurred in this area between 3.1 and 3.2?

I've set debug.ttydebug to 10 to no avail, edited /etc/ttys as described both in the man page for ttys and the url above, and nobody can log in to the system when I use X and a screen session or two. I looked at the sources for src/sys/kern/tty_pty.c and saw 2 potential warnings issued on compile if #ptys is 1 or > 256, and no warnings were issued on compile. When I run screen, and try to open too many windows, it says "No more PTYs". When I ssh from a local connection 31 times, nobody else can log in.

The man pages merely indicate that timed looks for > a master on its ocal network, but doesn't say exactly how to run said > master! You are not missing anything. The timed(8) manpage, to use a technical term, sucks the Big One (I have a PR in on it since June, docs/11978). You can kind of infer from the wording of the timed(8) manpage that there is some type of election process for the timed master. However, you can force a machine to only trust certain machines as masters with the '-F' switch (or so I gather from reading between the lines). If you, # timed -F localhost You effectively make that machine master. At least, I have a machine that does ntpdate periodically and only trusts itself as master, and all of the other machines using timed with no '-F' option take it as master too. To set this up in rc.conf, timed_enable="YES" # Run the time daemon (or NO). timed_flags="-F localhost" # Flags to timed (if enabled). I've been meaning to maybe dig into the timed source and figure out what the switches actually do, but just have not had the time. Plus, I figure someone out there _must_ know better and could actually write a manpage that clearly lays things out without much effort. -- Crist J.

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 curious as to whether or not the FreeBSD 3.2 CD offer ($39.95) at FreeBSDmall.com contains any third party software packages, or is just the operating system itself. I noticed that the FreeBSD CD set at cdrom.com ($69.99) contains 4 CDs, which I assume is 1 CD OS, 3 CDs additional packages. If the offer from FreeBSDmall.com does include additional packages can you please tell me whether or not the amount of packages is as comprehensive as that of cdrom.com's offer. Also, I would appreciate it if you can tell me what the extent of the documentation included with the offer from FreeBSDmall.com is.

Nope. Having windows and freebsd on two seperate drives is an ideal installation.

What you'll do is shut down windows (I usually use the restart option) then after your system passes the BIOS tests you'll have a boot menu that comes up. If you choose to install the small, self-contained boot menu that comes with the freebsd installation you will choose between two function keys to pick which OS to boot. Personally I recommend highly the OS-BS boot manager that's available on ftp.freebsd.org in the tools section. Get the "osbsbeta.exe" file, and just ignore the "beta" bit, it works just fine, it's easy to install (just follow the directions in the read me file) and gives you a nice menu of options to chose from which windows won't delete if you need to reinstall. > Do you plan on making any tutorials for this kind of set up if it turns > out to be complicated?

When we try to install any 3.X version of FreeBSD we cannot get it to recognize our RAID controller. It is apparently an AMI PERC2 RAID controller on a Dell poweredge 4300. Some versions will go past the beginning recognition but when we attempt to move on to partitioning the FreeBSD cannot find the card. I realize this isn't enough information to troubleshoot the problem. Just looking to see if anyone knows that this card is or isn't supported by FreeBSD.

Yes, that's what i tried first, but then the drive is not found at all, although the whole slice is unused. The disklabel shows only one entry, which is c and of type unused. But using da2c gives the same result as da2s1. Do i have to create some dummy partitions on da2s1 to get one extra unused or how do i go about it if i want the whole drive to be used by vinum?

Is > there anything in particular I should watch out for? Thanks! I think that nobody on this list knows the answer to that question. ;-) Yes this response is a bit of a troll, I admit. But after recently asking an Alpha type question on this list and getting not one response, I am starting to assume that there ain't many of us about! I am a bit of a newbie to FreeBSD. I have it running here on some Intel machines, where I'm doing some IPSec work. Our experience with Linux and FreeS/WAN suggests that it is handy to have some 64bit hardware about when coding. ;-) This is why I'm keen to get FreeBSD up on my 164LX board. It seems there are a host of FAQs regarding FreeBSD on Alpha which are not answered anywhere (if they are, I'm sorry---I have looked and failed to find answers to my question). Can somebody explain to me why the -alpha list is no longer? I think the lack of any dedicated Alpha resource is a big omission.

Few files (all of about 5MB, give or take a few bytes) were transfered with ca. 1.8M/s, while most just made it to 80K/s and sometimes even below. I'm using the ncr810, everything is properly terminated. The problem occured under 2.2.x, too. Could someone please give me a clue to what's happening?

Client is win95/98, However, after run NATD, the Network seem so slow, and we have to wait for sometime 15-20 sec. , then we will see the icons on the network(windows). Before, we use Freebsd 2.2.5, runing the same things, the major different is we using 128 IP only, just 2/3 Sec. we will see the icons appear on the network(windows), Now we using the whole class C IP 256. Is it the major problem make it slow down ? We have around 100 users, may be more later, Do you know any parameter I can amend in the kernel to improve the NATD performance ? THANKS !!

The DAT should ship with compression 'on' by default, unless you change the DIP switches, ours did here... Have you tried using the '-a' option with Dump?, ie. " -a ``auto-size''. Bypass all tape length considerations, and enforce writing until an end-of-media indication is returned. This fits best for most modern tape drives. Use of this option is particu- larly recommended when appending to an existing tape, or using a tape drive with hardware compression (where you can never be sure about the compression ratio). " I have a SureStore 24e plugged into my -current box at the moment (I must have missed your orignial postings), looking at the output of df - my nightly backups are now around 18gb's admitadly done as 5 seperate 'chunks' of between .2 and 9gb's (using the non-rewinding device), but they all go on the tape fine... (This also assumes as you say that Solaris ufsdump is akin to BSD dump). Also, is the tape is rewound before you start? (i.e. mt rewind) - I've fallen foul of that one before... :) -Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 9 7: 1:10 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from relay.ucb.crimea.ua (relay.ucb.crimea.ua [212.110.138.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7C74015151 for ; Thu, 9 Sep 1999 07:00:35 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ru@ucb.crimea.ua) Received: (from ru@localhost) by relay.ucb.crimea.ua (8.9.3/8.9.3/UCB) id QAA54347; Thu, 9 Sep 1999 16:59:07 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from ru) Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 16:59:07 +0300 From: Ruslan Ermilov To: Jason Welsh Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: proc and uptime on freebsd Message-ID: <19990909165907.A51179@relay.ucb.crimea.ua> Mail-Followup-To: Jason Welsh , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG References: <37D7B8F6.1FA8EC1A@cisco.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.3i In-Reply-To: <37D7B8F6.1FA8EC1A@cisco.com>; from Jason Welsh on Thu, Sep 09, 1999 at 09:41:10AM -0400 X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Thu, Sep 09, 1999 at 09:41:10AM -0400, Jason Welsh wrote: > im trying to help someone port an uptime daemon to Freebsd (since I cant > find any).. and hes asking about where to find system uptime in /proc > i know in linux, its easy, its just /proc/uptime > but /proc seems to be a totally different animal on freebsd. > is there a file that keeps uptime in /proc?? > AFAIK, no.

I've only got the one set of FreeBSD CD's and not a clue in the world about how to upgrade the thing even if I wanted to ..... when it comes time to "upgrade" that will mean a total re-installation .... it works & doesn't create weird problems. If the problem results from someone "forgetting" to do whatever, it sure wasn't me !!!!!!! The right way to fix it is by removing (or, better, changing) the reference to the directory from /etc/manpath.config. This problem is *probably* the result of forgetting to merge the changes to /etc when upgrading the rest of the system (including perl).

On the board, the tuner is the TEMIC front-end 4006. I tried to debug with fxtv -debug startup and I have attached the output file under "output" name. Apparently, there is a problem with the i2c bus because the Tuner is detected at every possible I2C address following to that file! I do not know what to do to solve that problem? Sound Blaster PCI 128 --------------------- I tried pnpinfo to detect the parameter but it does not work. Moreover, I do not know what to add in the kernel file in order to make working the board. I would greatly appreciate any support you could give me.

Take a look at the current boot floppies, they are just UFS on a disk with a compressed kernel on one, and a compressed mfsroot on the other.

It then talks about the PIII stuff they are going to ship in the next year. No dates for IA64 stuff. It also calls the IA64 a "low-cost" part, which flies in the face of everything I have heard about it. (and everything Intel...). Standard "gee whiz" marketing piece, with no substance.

Um, what are you trying to do? If you are in /usr/ports then you need to use the regular ol' Berkeley make (make). I wouldn't do a make in /usr/ports anyway unless you want to build every single port. > It makes this error (or one with a different number) on every > makefile i attempt to load... If you're doing this in /usr/ports/*/* then just use make, not gmake (GNU make). Unsurprisingly the ports tree is set up to use make.

I went and picked up a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 today because i wanted to get sound on my FreeBSD 3.3-RC box. I got this card because it is supposed to be one of the most compatible cards with freebsd. This is what i was told on irc #freebsd on efnet. I put the card in, compiled into the kernel as follows: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 I also compiled in POSIX options "P1003_1B" options "_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING" options "_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L" The reason for this is xmms was giving me scheduling errors in /var/log/messages when i would try and play an mp3. After i compiled the kernel i continued to cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV snd0 After a reboot prospects looked quite well. the devices were all detected just fine with no errors. I login, startx, open xmms and still no sound. the mp3 file won't even play because of an error with the sound card configuration. I continued to removing sound from the kernel, recompiling and trying OSS because I wanted to see that if by chance it wouldn't lock up for once. Of course it did though. However I noticed this when I was configuring OSS. It detected the card as a Sound Blaster Vibra16. I suppose this is a sb16 just a new name for it? The card in the user manual is refered to as a Sound Blaster 16 but what ever. I figure this is doesn't matter anyway. So now I sit here completely confused and not knowing what to do. I have searched www.freebsd.org for a simple howto setup Sound Blaster 16. I guess I'm a bad "Web Surfer" because I couldn't find anything. :-) If someone could please get back to me on this issue as soon as possible i would greatly appreciate it.

I have made this work with SSL port forwarders before, but think that the 'ssh hostname /usr/sbin/ppp label' method is MUCH cleaner. Judging from the example in /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample, it should work. I have two FreeBSD machines that I will call the client and the server. The client attempts to 'call' the server via ssh. SSH has been configured on the machines at least for the time being that root authenticates via RSA and has no passphrase. This works. What also works is if I try to run ppp via ssh from the shell. I see the frames. It does not work from within PPP. It seems like the PPP programs just can't see each other. Today I downloaded and built the newest PPP from awfulhak.org (Version 2.23 - Sep 9, 1999) on both machines. Both machines are using ssh-1.2.26. The 'server' is FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE while the 'client' is FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE. Everything seems to work fine until PPP is invoked. In the beginning, I thought the problem was in the set device line, so I have tried the following: 1) Various invocations of calling ssh: ssh -t hostname /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial label ssh hostname /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial label ssh -l username -i identityfile hostname /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial label ssh -l username -i identityfile -t hostname /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial label ssh -oBatchmode=yes hostname /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial label 2) Creating a shell script with the invocations from 1), and calling the shell script from the set device line of ppp Observations: Running PS on the 'server' when the 'client' attempts to call via PPP indicates that ppp IS being run. The ssh command line is being executed and executing ppp on the 'server'. At a shell on the 'client' if I issued any of the commands above *that contained a -t option to ssh* I could see PPP frames coming from the 'server'. I would be grateful if someone can help with this, and I would be happy to summarize to the list to share my experiences. Please CC my email address as I do not subscribe to this list.

Costs less, works as well, isn't adaptec, says works with FreeBSD on the box. About $160, vs. $250ish for the adaptec. It also comes with cables, which the adaptecs I have dealt with didn't.

I don't know if this can be done, but I am throwing it out to the group. I have set up a User based FTP site with 3.2 stable. The site will house different pdf files. I am wondering if there is a way to have the pdf file open up on the server side instead of downloading and then opening on the client desktop. I am thinking that I would just need to locate the reader on the site and then script something to call the reader and open the file before it downloads. The users viewing the files have the pdf reader on their local machine. If you currently try to view, it launches the download and then opens the file without giving the option to do anything else. Can this be accomplished and if so could you please point me in the right direction. I have scoured the Adobe user group and got nothing.

I am thinking that I would just need to locate the reader on the site and then script something to call the reader and open the file before it downloads. I don't know of a way with ftp. Adobe 4.0 supports a page at a time option that is sort of what you want. I've read about it but never added it to any of my PDF files. You have to use a web browser with the PDF reader added on. You don't have the long wait. You also can't jump forward. Kent > > The users viewing the files have the pdf reader on their local machine.

3.4. Creating the List of other LAN Hosts(/etc/hosts)

The final step in configuring the LAN side of the FreeBSD system is to create a list of the names and TCP/IP addresses of the various systems that are connected to the Local Area Network. This list is stored in the '/etc/hosts' file.

The default version of this file has only a single host name listing in it: the name and address of the loopback device ('lo0'). By networking convention, this device is always named "localhost" and always has an IP address of 127.0.0.1. (See the interface configuration example in Section 3.2.)

To edit the /etc/hosts file enter the following command: 

 # ee /etc/hosts

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the file (paying attention to the comments along the way; there's some good information there!) and enter (assuming our sample network) the following IP addresses and host names: 

192.168.1.1    curly  curly.my.domain  # FreeBSD System
192.168.1.2    larry  larry.my.domain  # Windows '95 System
192.168.1.3    moe    moe.my.domain    # Windows for Workgroups
System
192.168.1.4    shemp  shemp.my.domain  # Windows NT System

(No changes are needed to the line for the '127.0.0.1 localhost' entry.)

Once you've entered these lines, press the 'Esc' key to invoke the control menu. Select "leave editor" and be sure to select "save changes" when prompted.

A lot of your examples aren't using -direct when envoking the remote process. Only -direct will read file descriptor 0, so it's the only ppp mode that'll work. As an exercise, you can also try something like this - just to prove that program execution works: keep:~ $ ppp Working in interactive mode Using interface: tun1 ppp ON keep> set log local physical ppp ON keep> set device "!pwd" ppp ON keep> term deflink: Entering terminal mode on !pwd Type `~?' for help Physical: read Physical: 2f 68 6f 6d 65 2f 62 72 69 61 6e 0a /home/brian. /home/brian Physical: read ppp ON keep> Also, don't use the -t switch to ssh - you don't want a pseudo tty and ssh doesn't allocate one anyway if the local end doesn't have one - it just moans a bit. If the above works, change the above to run ``ssh whereever pwd'' and make sure the output is roughly the same. Then progress onto ``ssh whereever /usr/sbin/ppp -direct whatever''. Bear in mind that /usr/ sbin may not be in your path on the sshd side. > I have been trying to get user PPP to work over an SSH connection.

So I switched back to the original config and now it doesn't even log to the console..... I didn't edit anything else. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might have broken?

There are very few Unix OS's that have GUI interfaces to their 'administration' tools (SUN, SCO, to name a few). But as Mike mentioned, the Unix administrator uses the power of the system shell to do his/her work. In FreeBSD there is a GUI front-end for performing 'adduser' and 'addgroup' tasks, but to remove a user or remove a group you have to use the command-line commands. For basic tasks, like file system capacities, a SysAdmin will write a shell script to perform this task and email the results to the SysAdmin if something is not right. These tasks are written and then executed by the 'cron' system ( Cron allows a script or program to be executed at specific times ). Please do read through all of the sites Mike has pointed out to you, and if you have further Questions, please email this list or email me directly. Michael Akers M.

PCMCIA is supported... but you don't give much info to go on. FreeBSD supports PCMCIA out-of-the-box, but for some devices (usually the newer stuff), the PAO add-on is needed (http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO). --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 10 0:38:53 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from gate.ldn.wdr.com (gate.ldn.wdr.com [193.82.179.18]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8D56215156 for ; Fri, 10 Sep 1999 00:38:49 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Clem.Dye@wdr.com) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gate.ldn.wdr.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA24798; Fri, 10 Sep 1999 08:38:03 +0100 (BST) From: Clem.Dye@wdr.com Received: from inside(192.168.0.1) by gate via smap (V2.0) id xma024125; Fri, 10 Sep 1999 08:37:07 +0100 Received: from ln4p1129.ldn.swissbank.com (ln4p1129.ldn.swissbank.com [172.16.234.32]) by ln4p1013pos.ldn.swissbank.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA11599; Fri, 10 Sep 1999 08:37:05 +0100 (BST) Received: from localhost (root@localhost) by ln4p1129.ldn.swissbank.com (8.8.6 (PHNE_14041)/8.8.6/WDR alpha evision: 1.7 $) with SMTP id IAA04892; Fri, 10 Sep 1999 08:37:04 +0100 (BST) X-OpenMail-Hops: 1 Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 08:36:55 +0100 Message-Id: Subject: RE: Re: DOS & UNIX Format Utilities MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Abbas.Karbassian@cambridge.simoco.com, alexkwan@pacific.net.hk, Clem.Dye@wdr.com Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="BDY.TXT" Content-Disposition: inline; filename="BDY.TXT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Processed-By: BrianWare hpomsmf V2.3.40, 19 May 1999 X-WDR-Disclaimer: Version $Revision: 1.13 $ Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Yeah, but look at the original question.

To know more about this when you installed this pacakge do : man mcopy man mdir man mdelete ( I am not sure about this, please check) Regards Abbas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.

I forgot what it was exactly what I did, but it was something along the lines of this: - boot fixit cdrom - run a commandline like this: hd /dev/rwdnnn | grep "hh hh hh" (where 'hh hh hh' is the superblock magic number, I can't find it right now, but that's probably because it's still before coffee for me) - Let is run for a while. Until is has found all the filesystems. The magic number will appear quite often, but there are fixed offsets for each consecutive superblock, so you can filter out which ones are 'real' and which ones are not. - After this you can figure out where your filesystems start. This was enough for me, as I had only wiped the disklabel. You'll have to do some additional juggling to figure out the right partitiontable entries. I realise this is all very vague, but it was a few years ago so my memory is a bit hazy. Good luck :) Alex On Wed, Sep 08, 1999 at 01:46:18PM -0400, David Gilbert wrote: > So...

I have made this work with SSL port forwarders before, but think that the 'ssh hostname /usr/sbin/ppp label' method is MUCH cleaner. Judging from the example in /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample, it should work. I have two FreeBSD machines that I will call the client and the server. = The client attempts to 'call' the server via ssh. SSH has been configured on = the machines at least for the time being that root authenticates via RSA and = has no passphrase. This works. What also works is if I try to run ppp via ssh from the shell. I see the frames. It does not work from within PPP. It = seems like the PPP programs just can't see each other. Today I downloaded and built the newest PPP from awfulhak.org (Version 2.23 - Sep 9, 1999) on both machines. Both machines are using ssh-1.2.26. The 'server' is FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE while the 'client' is FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE. Everything seems to work fine until PPP is invoked. In the beginning, I thought the problem was in the set device line, so I have tried the following: 1) Various invocations of calling ssh: ssh -t hostname /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial label ssh hostname /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial label ssh -l username -i identityfile hostname /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial label ssh -l username -i identityfile -t hostname /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial label ssh -oBatchmode=3Dyes hostname /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial label 2) Creating a shell script with the invocations from 1), and calling the shell script from the set device line of ppp Observations: Running PS on the 'server' when the 'client' attempts to call via PPP indicates that ppp IS being run. The ssh command line is being executed = and executing ppp on the 'server'. At a shell on the 'client' if I issued any of the commands above *that contained a -t option to ssh* I could see PPP frames coming from the 'server'. I would be grateful if someone can help with this, and I would be happy to summarize to the list to share my experiences. Please CC my email address as I do not subscribe to this list.

I used to use cdrecord with my HP8100 under linux however using it under freebsd took some detective work. I spent a few hours chasing up info on the net in order to get it right, however I have a few questions. It seems as though using cdrecord for atapi devices isn't there yet, since there is no atapi-scsi emulation. So I used wormcontrol. I found an earlier e-mail in the list which detailed the use of /dev/acd0c and racd0c for use with the cd-r instead of /dev/wcd0c. I set up the links in /dev including /rworm0 pointing to ascd0c. Used wormcontrol and everything worked. I take it that the 'worm' driver is only needed for SCSI devices? Since you can write directly to acd. Can I write faster than double speed using wormcontrol? Now what I want to know is what is the difference between acd and wcd. I've just checked my kernel config file and I see that acd0 is an IDE CDROM driver (CDR as well?). Is wcd part of the wdc driver? The man pages for worm(4) says it is out of date and that the new scsi/CAM stuff should be used instead, which immediately cuts me out. So is it worm that is out of date and NOT wormcontrol, which is used with the acd0 driver instead? Okay last question, In my kernel config file there is an option ATAPI, with the comment 'ATAPI support for IDE' I thought ATAPI was a synonym for IDE, I suppose I'm wrong? -- William James Irwin wji@ihug.co.nz wirw002@cs.auckland.ac.nz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 10 3:24:56 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from beatix.desy.de (beatix.desy.de [131.169.82.164]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id DC8CA1580E for ; Fri, 10 Sep 1999 03:24:44 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from SYSTEM@beatix.desy.de) Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 12:22:03 +0200 (CET-DST) From: SYSTEM@beatix.desy.de To: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS@FREEBSD.ORG Cc: SYSTEM@beatix.desy.de Message-Id: <990910122203.20a085b6@beatix.desy.de> Subject: ppp (alias) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, ppp seems to be a neverending story.

I know the image file is good because I've used the diag tools that come with mkisofs to list the contents. Basically, I just want to extract all the files from the image file and restore them to HD. Are there any unix utilities to do this? Please reply to me directly because I'm not on the list anymore (couldn't cope with the vast amount of traffic).

However, on our new servers, I'm trying to do things "the sendmail way" by using the m4 macros, etc. We're using 3.2-Release. The incoming virtualization is working fine. However, I can't get the outgoing remapping to work at all, e.g. if user@machine.domain sends email it appears that way instead of being rewritten as name@otherdomain. In my m4 .mc file, I have: FEATURE(`genericstable', `btree /etc/genericstable')dnl GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/sendmail.cG')dnl which generates this in the sendmail.cf Kgenerics btree /etc/genericstable and FG/etc/sendmail.cG My /etc/genericstable file contains testcase office@testcase.com and the /etc/sendmail.cG has testcase.com I issue the commands: makemap -d btree genericstable.db < genericstable Now, according to the docs at sendmail.org, any email sent by the user testcase should have the From header rewritten as office@testcase.com. However, it remains as testcase@f2.addy.com BTW, I've tried changing the genericstable file from btree to hash with no effect. Does anyone know what I've missed here?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Folks, I'm still slogging through the manual, the FAQ, searching the mailing lists, DejaNews, and posting to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc for some answers or more information on the problems I'm having. Specifically, I think I might have two separate problems, or one might be causing the other. The first problem is attempts to fdisk a particular device (da7, in my case) cause the process to hang, hard. It doesn't recognize kill -9, and the only way to get the console back is to ssh in and kill -9 the parent shell. I have some experience debugging SCSI problems, and I've ensured that there are no SCSI id conflicts, as well as shortening the cables, removing other devices from the chain, using external termination in place of the existing auto-termination, changing the Adaptec 2940UW card configuration to limit maximum attempted transfer speeds to 10Mbps, etc.... I've got more detail I can share with you if necessary, but I'm wondering if there might be a better place for me to ask detailed questions about further debugging SCSI buses -- perhaps the freebsd-scsi mailing list? The second problem is that once I ignore the particular failing device and try to create a vinum RAID-5 logical disk across the other three similar devices (which seem to work okay -- fdisk works, disklabel works, etc...), I get a kernel panic and crash dump. I'm wondering if I should try switching from 3.2-RELEASE (what I'm currently running) and go to the latest snapshot of 3.2-STABLE, 3.2-RC, or perhaps even all the way to 4.0-CURRENT? Alternatively, if this problem is likely to be caused by the failing device (even though I'm not including it in the attempted configuration), then perhaps I should work out all the hardware problems first, before I try working with vinum+RAID-5+softupdates?

We use the ascend pipelines strictly for backup connections to our unregistered networks. The unregistered networks are 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 & 192.168.3.0/24, the registered network is 198.143.201.0/24. For the unregistered networks we use Bay AN and Bay ARN routers, for the registered network we use a cisco 2610 connected via one sync port to outter world/internet and ethernet port connect dirrectly to a firewall (BSD UNIX) wich handles NAT & IP Forwarding. The default route on the firewall/bsd unix server is the cisco router at 198.143.201.5. The trouble that Im experiancing is somehow durring periods of NON internet/outside activity, the MAC address for the PIPELINE 75 (wich is strictly configured for the 192.168.1.0/24 network) is somehow usurping the MAC address of the ethernet port on the cisco 2610 in the BSD UNIX arp/routing tables. I believe you can figure out why this is a problem. On the BSD Unix box I am firewalling off (denying) all incoming and outgoing trafic to the ascend pipeline in question , wich leads me to believe that its hapening between the cisco router & the pipline, wherein the router cisco router then tells the bsdunix box its mac address is that of the pipline. Im using STATIC ROUTES ONLY on the cisco router , as well, im not running any kind of rip deamons on the BSD unix box. When I unplug the ascend product from the network this doesnt happen. The Pipeline is configured for RIP ( I need that for my unregistered networks). Thanks for your time.

3.4. Creating the List of other LAN Hosts(/etc/hosts)

The final step in configuring the LAN side of the FreeBSD system is to create a list of the names and TCP/IP addresses of the various systems that are connected to the Local Area Network. This list is stored in the '/etc/hosts' file.

The default version of this file has only a single host name listing in it: the name and address of the loopback device ('lo0'). By networking convention, this device is always named "localhost" and always has an IP address of 127.0.0.1. (See the interface configuration example in Section 3.2.)

To edit the /etc/hosts file enter the following command: 

 # ee /etc/hosts

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the file (paying attention to the comments along the way; there's some good information there!) and enter (assuming our sample network) the following IP addresses and host names: 

192.168.1.1    curly  curly.my.domain  # FreeBSD System
192.168.1.2    larry  larry.my.domain  # Windows '95 System
192.168.1.3    moe    moe.my.domain    # Windows for Workgroups
System
192.168.1.4    shemp  shemp.my.domain  # Windows NT System

(No changes are needed to the line for the '127.0.0.1 localhost' entry.)

Once you've entered these lines, press the 'Esc' key to invoke the control menu. Select "leave editor" and be sure to select "save changes" when prompted.

I read about the motherboard on ABITS.homepage but it didnt say if it supported FreeBSD. I had some trouble for some months ago with 3 damaged CPUs and the company didnt replace either the CPUs or the motherboard i was using. They only said that it only supported Win/WinNT and therefore i couldnt get any on the warranty. So i only want hardware that i got paper on that it supports FreeBSD in case i will have the same trouble again.....

The other thing you will want to check = out is Microsoft Services for Unix ( free download ) not only does it = give you a better POSIX suite for NT but it also installs NFS client and = Server on the NT. This means you can mount FreeBSD machines under NT and = you can mount shares from NT on FreeBSD ( as simple as mount_nfs = NTcomputer:share /FreeBSDmountpoint).

What would you reccomend in the ay of fairly inexpensive processors? I was looking at the AMD line, mabe a k6-350, what do you think. Are these the same socket and voltage set up? The only cpu that is supported on SMP is the Intel's. The other thing to remember is payback decreases around 3x on the bus speed. Your 200 is 3x. If you want throughput, you need 100Mhz memory and that means a P-ii 350 or faster. The old rule for throughput is 1.8x times the speed of the single cpu. Two PP200 would effectively be a PP360. The P-II 350 w/PC100 memory can still be 1.5 times faster because the memory is 1.5 times faster. I have setiathome running on two WinNT machines and they crank out a work unit in 9-10 hours. The FreeBSD system with a Celeron 433 cranks out a work unit in 14-15 hours (~1.5). Kent > > Also, what would I need to do after the CPU upgrade? Recompile the kernel, or?

The one downside is that only Intel processors support APIC (the SMP we know and love); AMD's support OpenPIC, which is not supported by any known motherboard or chipset out there.

There are a number of possibilities to look into: Webmin - this a web-based utility to add users, monitor Apache, set up printers, and a number of other bits and pieces; I used it very briefly. location in FreeBSD ports: /usr/ports/www/webmin Webmin web page: http://www.webmin.com/webmin/ SAM - (FreeBSD System Administrator Manager) - this works only on (with a patch at the site) a 3.*-RELEASE system - why? No clue. To run on something other than 3.0-RELEASE you need a patch found on the site. It appears you cannot run STABLE (unless you want to hack the patch or something). This seems really limited. I tried to run it once (I was actually at a -RELEASE) and then I upgraded to STABLE and I haven't tried it since. web page: http://homepage.esoterica.pt/~jardim/Index.html freebsd-admin - Never tried it and it's in development. Brian decided against using the QT library so he's developing a new toolkit to use. It's in development now but you can grab the old version that uses QT. web page: http://www.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU/~brian/freebsd-admin/ If you just want system tools, there are a number of things to look at. Try searching for likely tools in : http://www.freebsd.org/ports/sysutils.html Primarily most FreeBSD admins mess w/ things directly in console mode (or in an xterm). I stopped using all the GUI admin programs after trying them because I could do what I wanted to do faster on the command line. That said my goal was trying to write up an article on them for Daemon News. Never got that done, so if you get something done and you can condense it into an article (or a series of articles) Daemon News would love it! :-) If you decide to submit something do so to: article@daemonnews.org Good luck!

Someone has a converter that will let you plug PPGA Celerons into Socket8, which is what the PPRO uses. I lost my reference to this, check the various hardware sites, that's where I found a link to the part. I've heard rumor that Intel plans on disabling SMP on PPGA Celerons, but I haven't heard that it has actually happened.

All of the knowledge you gain is equally applicable to all the other areas, the problem comes only when you're not learning things in an order that provides you immediate benefits related to what you need to know. All of which is of course, highly subjective. > I don't have a CS degree and I'm not an engineer, but I have no fear of the > hard-to-do.

How do I lay a stable foundation, a body of > knowledge to build upon? I'd say first, buy and read the most recent versions of "The Complete FreeBSD" and "Essential System Administration." The first is by our own Greg Lehey and is available a lot of places, including http://www.freebsdmall.com/. The second is available from O'Reilly and Associates, and really you can't go wrong with any of their books. After that, it's up to you. Something in those two books will spark your interest and encourage you to go on reading/learning/studying other topics.

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 breaking 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, -newbies or -hackers? =================================================== Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people who are new to FreeBSD and may be having trouble getting used to the environment. 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, first check whether this isn't a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ). There's a list of these questions at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.html, and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at /usr/share/doc/FAQ/FAQ.html. Check there, and if you don't find an answer, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about installing 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 almost 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. You should also enter a problem report with the send-pr utility. 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. If the question is of particularly technical nature, such as implementation details or suggestions for improvements, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If you're new to FreeBSD, and the message is about your own relationship to FreeBSD, send the message to FreeBSD-newbies. 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 out 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 don't get an answer immediately, or if you don't even see your own message appear on the list immediately, don't resend the message. Wait at least 24 hours. The FreeBSD mailer offloads messages to a number of subordinate mailers around the world, and sometimes it can take several hours for the mail to get through. And once it gets through, the one person who might know the answer will probably just have gone to bed in his part of the world. 8. 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 follow up to a question ================================= Often you will want to send in additional information to a question you have already sent. The best way to do this is to reply to your original message. This has three advantages: 1. You include the original message text, so people will know what you're talking about. Don't forget to trim unnecessary text out, though. 2. The text in the subject line stays the same (you did remember to put one in, didn't you?). Many mailers will sort messages by subject. This helps group messages together. 3. The message reference numbers in the header will refer to the previous message. Some mailers, such as mutt, can thread messages, showing the exact relationships between the messages. VI: 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 you understand the question? Very frequently, the person who asks the question is confused or doesn't express himself very well. Even with the best understanding of the system, it's easy to send a reply which doesn't answer the question. This doesn't help: you'll leave the person who submitted the question more frustrated or confused than ever. If nobody else answers, and you're not too sure either, you can always ask for more information. 5. 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?". 6. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the sender and to FreeBSD-questions. Many people on the FreeBSD-questions are "lurkers": they learn by reading messages sent and replied to by others. If you take a message which is of general interest off the list, you're depriving these people of their information. Be careful with group replies; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. If this is the case, be sure to trim the Cc: lines appropriately. 7. Include relevant text from the original message. Trim it to the minimum, but don't overdo it. It should still be possible for somebody who didn't read the original message to understand what you're talking about. 8. 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. 9. Put your response in the correct place (after the text to which it replies). It's very difficult to read a thread of responses where each reply comes before the text to which it replies. 10. 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. 11. 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.

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 Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 72, 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 273, ``Building the kernel'' _________________________________ Replace the example with: Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel: # cd ../../compile/FREEBIE # make depend # make The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created: apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files needed for the build. Thanks to Mark Ovens for drawing this to my attention. 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 17 Install ports when installing the system 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 3.2 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: # 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 Page 18 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 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 19 Install ports when installing the system 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. 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 Page 20 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 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 Page 21 Install ports when installing the system 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 TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up the response time of such applications by over 95%.

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 third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. You'll find this information on page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents). See the end of this document for instructions on how to find the errata for an older version. You can get the current document in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ps. See page 302 of the third edition 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-3.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-3.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-3.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 Page ii _______ The instructions on page ii (opposite the title page) tell you to look at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2 for the errata list. That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _________________ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration ____________________________________________ After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 ________ The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 ________ The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the following data: AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enbld): 0 ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enbld): 1 TB (Transfer Block): 0 RC (Read Continuous): 0 EER (Enable Early Recovery): 0 PER (Post Error): 0 DTE (Disable Transfer on Error): 0 DCR (Disable Correction): 0 Read Retry Count: 16 Correction Span: 41 Head Offset Count: 0 Data Strobe Offset Count: 0 Write Retry Count: 16 Recovery Time Limit: 0 The values for AWRE and ARRE should both be 1. If they aren't, as in this case, where AWRE is 0, change the data with the editor, save it, and exit. The camcontrol program will write the data back to the disk and enable the option. Page 3 The Complete FreeBSD Page 331 ________ The description of the config refers to the SCSI drive sd0. This is the old name; in FreeBSD version 3, SCSI drives are called da, so this reference should be da0. Thanks to Francisco Reyes for pointing out this problem. Page 362 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel: # cd ../../compile/FREEBIE # make depend # make The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created: apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files needed for the build. Thanks to Mark Ovens for drawing this to my attention, and to Francisco Reyes and Bill Fumerola for pointing out that it still wasn't fixed in the third edition. Page 409 ________ The information on setting the default routers specified the wrong end of the PPP links in some places. It should always be the ``far'' end of the link. Replace the second example on page 409, and the text following it, with this text: defaultrouter="139.130.136.129" # Set to default gateway (or NO). static_routes="" # Set to static route list (or leave empty). gateway_enable="YES" # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway. This is the normal way to set the default route on a point-to-point interface. In fact, for PPP you don't need to specify the default address: the PPP packages will set it for you when the link comes up. This makes it possible to Page 4 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition set default routes when you're forced to use dynamic IP addresses, where you don't know the address at this point. We'll see how PPP does this on page 446. In the first example on page 410, the sixth example on page 412 and the second example on page 413, replace the defaultrouter definition with: defaultrouter="139.130.237.65" # Set to default gateway (or NO). Thanks to Andreas Longwitz for pointing out this error. Getting errata for older editions of the book _____________________________________________ There have been a total of five different versions of ``The Complete FreeBSD''. The most accurate way to distinguish them is by the format date, which you'll find at the bottom of page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents) in all versions of the book. 1. The first was titled ``Installing and running FreeBSD'', and was formatted on 24 February 1996. No errata list exists for this book. 2. For the first edition (19 July 1996), get ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/er- rata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/errata-1. I am no longer updating this errata list. 3. The list for the second edition (16 December 1997) 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 second edition 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 Page 5 Getting errata for older editions of the book 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. 4. The revised second edition was formatted on 11 February 1999. As the name suggests, it's not a complete new edition: in fact, only three chapters are different: o The chapter ``Setting up X11'' has been brought up to date. o Appendix D (``Contents of the Ports Collection'') has been replaced by two appendixes, ``Errata and Addenda'' (the errata list up to date at the time) and ``FreeBSD 3.0'', which describes the differences between FreeBSD 2.x and FreeBSD 3.x. There is no separate errata list for this book. Refer to the second edition errata list. 5. The current, third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. This is the correct list for this edition.

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 breaking 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, -newbies or -hackers? =================================================== Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people who are new to FreeBSD and may be having trouble getting used to the environment. 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, first check whether this isn't a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ). There's a list of these questions at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.html, and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at /usr/share/doc/FAQ/FAQ.html. Check there, and if you don't find an answer, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about installing 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 almost 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. You should also enter a problem report with the send-pr utility. 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. If the question is of particularly technical nature, such as implementation details or suggestions for improvements, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If you're new to FreeBSD, and the message is about your own relationship to FreeBSD, send the message to FreeBSD-newbies. 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 out 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 don't get an answer immediately, or if you don't even see your own message appear on the list immediately, don't resend the message. Wait at least 24 hours. The FreeBSD mailer offloads messages to a number of subordinate mailers around the world, and sometimes it can take several hours for the mail to get through. And once it gets through, the one person who might know the answer will probably just have gone to bed in his part of the world. 8. 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 follow up to a question ================================= Often you will want to send in additional information to a question you have already sent. The best way to do this is to reply to your original message. This has three advantages: 1. You include the original message text, so people will know what you're talking about. Don't forget to trim unnecessary text out, though. 2. The text in the subject line stays the same (you did remember to put one in, didn't you?). Many mailers will sort messages by subject. This helps group messages together. 3. The message reference numbers in the header will refer to the previous message. Some mailers, such as mutt, can thread messages, showing the exact relationships between the messages. VI: 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 you understand the question? Very frequently, the person who asks the question is confused or doesn't express himself very well. Even with the best understanding of the system, it's easy to send a reply which doesn't answer the question. This doesn't help: you'll leave the person who submitted the question more frustrated or confused than ever. If nobody else answers, and you're not too sure either, you can always ask for more information. 5. 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?". 6. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the sender and to FreeBSD-questions. Many people on the FreeBSD-questions are "lurkers": they learn by reading messages sent and replied to by others. If you take a message which is of general interest off the list, you're depriving these people of their information. Be careful with group replies; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. If this is the case, be sure to trim the Cc: lines appropriately. 7. Include relevant text from the original message. Trim it to the minimum, but don't overdo it. It should still be possible for somebody who didn't read the original message to understand what you're talking about. 8. 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. 9. Put your response in the correct place (after the text to which it replies). It's very difficult to read a thread of responses where each reply comes before the text to which it replies. 10. 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. 11. 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.

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 third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. You'll find this information on page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents). See the end of this document for instructions on how to find the errata for an older version. You can get the current document in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ps. See page 302 of the third edition 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-3.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-3.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-3.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 Page ii _______ The instructions on page ii (opposite the title page) tell you to look at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2 for the errata list. That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _________________ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration ____________________________________________ After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 ________ The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 ________ The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the following data: AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enbld): 0 ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enbld): 1 TB (Transfer Block): 0 RC (Read Continuous): 0 EER (Enable Early Recovery): 0 PER (Post Error): 0 DTE (Disable Transfer on Error): 0 DCR (Disable Correction): 0 Read Retry Count: 16 Correction Span: 41 Head Offset Count: 0 Data Strobe Offset Count: 0 Write Retry Count: 16 Recovery Time Limit: 0 The values for AWRE and ARRE should both be 1. If they aren't, as in this case, where AWRE is 0, change the data with the editor, save it, and exit. The camcontrol program will write the data back to the disk and enable the option. Page 3 The Complete FreeBSD Page 331 ________ The description of the config refers to the SCSI drive sd0. This is the old name; in FreeBSD version 3, SCSI drives are called da, so this reference should be da0. Thanks to Francisco Reyes for pointing out this problem. Page 362 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel: # cd ../../compile/FREEBIE # make depend # make The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created: apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files needed for the build. Thanks to Mark Ovens for drawing this to my attention, and to Francisco Reyes and Bill Fumerola for pointing out that it still wasn't fixed in the third edition. Page 409 ________ The information on setting the default routers specified the wrong end of the PPP links in some places. It should always be the ``far'' end of the link. Replace the second example on page 409, and the text following it, with this text: defaultrouter="139.130.136.129" # Set to default gateway (or NO). static_routes="" # Set to static route list (or leave empty). gateway_enable="YES" # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway. This is the normal way to set the default route on a point-to-point interface. In fact, for PPP you don't need to specify the default address: the PPP packages will set it for you when the link comes up. This makes it possible to Page 4 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition set default routes when you're forced to use dynamic IP addresses, where you don't know the address at this point. We'll see how PPP does this on page 446. In the first example on page 410, the sixth example on page 412 and the second example on page 413, replace the defaultrouter definition with: defaultrouter="139.130.237.65" # Set to default gateway (or NO). Thanks to Andreas Longwitz for pointing out this error. Getting errata for older editions of the book _____________________________________________ There have been a total of five different versions of ``The Complete FreeBSD''. The most accurate way to distinguish them is by the format date, which you'll find at the bottom of page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents) in all versions of the book. 1. The first was titled ``Installing and running FreeBSD'', and was formatted on 24 February 1996. No errata list exists for this book. 2. For the first edition (19 July 1996), get ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/er- rata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/errata-1. I am no longer updating this errata list. 3. The list for the second edition (16 December 1997) 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 second edition 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 Page 5 Getting errata for older editions of the book 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. 4. The revised second edition was formatted on 11 February 1999. As the name suggests, it's not a complete new edition: in fact, only three chapters are different: o The chapter ``Setting up X11'' has been brought up to date. o Appendix D (``Contents of the Ports Collection'') has been replaced by two appendixes, ``Errata and Addenda'' (the errata list up to date at the time) and ``FreeBSD 3.0'', which describes the differences between FreeBSD 2.x and FreeBSD 3.x. There is no separate errata list for this book. Refer to the second edition errata list. 5. The current, third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. This is the correct list for this edition.

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 Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 72, 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 273, ``Building the kernel'' _________________________________ Replace the example with: Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel: # cd ../../compile/FREEBIE # make depend # make The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created: apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files needed for the build. Thanks to Mark Ovens for drawing this to my attention. 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 17 Install ports when installing the system 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 3.2 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: # 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 Page 18 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 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 19 Install ports when installing the system 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. 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 Page 20 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition 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 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 Page 21 Install ports when installing the system 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 TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up the response time of such applications by over 95%.

Linux Programming by Matthew & Stones (Wrox Press) is also high on my list. The latter book has "Linux" as it's title, but it's general enough for FBSD. If these are too technical, then perhaps something like Unix Unleashed might be the way to go. Good luck!

Does anyone know of > a way to get ruptime to display info on those hosts? rwho/ruptime use a broadcast or multicast protocol with a TTL of 1 so it will only work on the local subnet. See the man page for rwhod(8). I would strongly recommend you use Big Brother (BB) since it has more monitoring capabilities and will work over LAN and WAN connections. It will monitor disk, memory, processes, connectivity, etc and then page you via several mechanisms. It will do a much better job for you versus rwho/ruptime. If you want lights...lots of lights, then the BB Web Status page is really cool.

This is the first time I will have done this so it needs to be kinda simple. There are many windoze products that allow you to feed video to the net, but I would rather stay far away from that. I want to use FreeBSD for all the reasons you all read this list -- it's runs like silk. Requirements: 1. Serve audio and video from machine to the net. 50-200 simultaneous viewers 2. We have a nice camera or can buy a new one. Good quality in low light Will icecast work for the audio? Thanks for any help or advice you may have. This is a really great project and I would love to say the whole thing runs on FreeBSD when people/press ask ;).

Maybe later when I get a web server up. I believe cable modem technology is up to 36Mbps, but your cableco or ISP (@home, roadrunner, etc) probably has a bandwidth cap on it. I haven't built a gateway for a cable modem before, but I would expect that a P100, and a pair of quality PCI NICs (I personally recommend 3c905B-TX's) would be enough performance. Did you get a cable modem kit with an ethernet card? If so, what brand and model?

About the last 7 hours I tried to install this excellent operating system. I previously installed a 3.0 distribution on an different computer and now I had to start all over... The computer is a Pentium 133 with 16 Mb - 2 Hard Disks (1.2 Gb and 850 Mb) No problem at all, i guess. So I tried to dual boot it, together with Windows 98. Since it was preinstalled, I kept Windows 98 on my C-drive and wanted to install FreeBSD on the D-drive. I booted with the 2 bootdisks (kernel and mfsroot) Strangely in the book they told something about 'Uncompressing kernel...' I never saw that, but nevertheless, the system booted. First I tried to skip kernel configuration and continue installation but a second time I started kernel configuration and deleted all conflicting devices such as ethernet cards, which I don't have. Then I began a Novice installation, created some space on my D-drive. For the labels I generated something manually: root ... about 40 Mb swap... about 150 Mb usr ... all the rest of the 850 Mb They recommended in the book to place the /var file system in the /usr file system. That's what I did. I selected an X-user Distribution... no Des and no Ports Collection, (that's for later on). Then I started with Installing from a FreeBSD CD-Rom. All went fine... until I got an error message. When I switched to the /dev/ttyv1 I got some more information: WD1S1A: hard error reading fsbn 34988 of 34912-35039 (wd1s1 bn 34988; cn 17 tn 11 sn 23) (status 59error 40 ) vm_fault: pager read error, pid (cp) cp: /kernel: bad address So, then the installation stopped and I had to reboot... Surprisingly, I've selected to install the bootmanager that was on the disk. Windows 98 started to boot... I didn't even had a chance to select any OS. What went wrong, and what can I do about it?

There is a utility for this in the tools directory on your CD, in directory tools: bootinst.exe. Run it from DOS. You will then probably see when you reboot: F1 DOS F5 Drive 1 Hit F5 and you get the boot manager on the second drive, which should have the FreeBSD entry.

As the installation was not completed, I would suggest: do it once more. It only takes 20 minutes or so. I am sure there is a clever reader of this list that will know how to repair it, but that will, I think, be more difficult and not as quick. By the way, I had to cut out a lot of the message-thread, as your reply was added to the top. Some people moreover get upset by this. The 'rule' is to answer after the message you reply to. It makes things easier to follow and you will have more chance to receive a reply to your question.

I currently use a 3Com 3C509 ISA card and would like to install another one. From looking at the kernel source it looks like I would have to recomplie for another card. The question is how do specify in the source the 2 cards so that they are detected properly. (I do have a dos system to reconfigure the card as necessary)And once the kernel is setup how do I configure my system ?? The first card uses dhcpc the second card will be my LAN. The first card is setup already and works well.

3.4. Creating the List of other LAN Hosts(/etc/hosts)

The final step in configuring the LAN side of the FreeBSD system is to create a list of the names and TCP/IP addresses of the various systems that are connected to the Local Area Network. This list is stored in the '/etc/hosts' file.

The default version of this file has only a single host name listing in it: the name and address of the loopback device ('lo0'). By networking convention, this device is always named "localhost" and always has an IP address of 127.0.0.1. (See the interface configuration example in Section 3.2.)

To edit the /etc/hosts file enter the following command: 

 # ee /etc/hosts

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the file (paying attention to the comments along the way; there's some good information there!) and enter (assuming our sample network) the following IP addresses and host names: 

192.168.1.1    curly  curly.my.domain  # FreeBSD System
192.168.1.2    larry  larry.my.domain  # Windows '95 System
192.168.1.3    moe    moe.my.domain    # Windows for Workgroups
System
192.168.1.4    shemp  shemp.my.domain  # Windows NT System

(No changes are needed to the line for the '127.0.0.1 localhost' entry.)

Once you've entered these lines, press the 'Esc' key to invoke the control menu. Select "leave editor" and be sure to select "save changes" when prompted.

Telnet into the system from a Windows95/98 system, invoke editor "ee" that comes with FreeBSD, then terminate the telnet session without escaping or exitting ee and logout. Found out that the ee process would not be terminted, instead the CPU consumption for ee increase exponentially from few percent to 99.9% causing the CPU to get overheat of extreme load. The telnet session could be terminated either intentionally or not. If not intentionnally, it might be that a sudden electricity black out occur, or that the user unintentionally terminated the session, just like what a user of my FreeBSD powered system did.If it is intentioned, I suppose this bug could pose a threat to the system in that it can be used as a DOS, overheating the CPU and bring the system down. Hope ya can confirm this condition.

I haven't done it on FreeBSD but we used to send email to the database servers with commands like "ftp mfg < script" where the script had the login user name, password, and files that were to be transfered. Eventually, we started using tftp, which worked most of the time. You sometimes have to setup ftp as being passive.

The various software distributions are in sub directories under here (I.E.: bin, XF86333, doc, ...) The boot floppies are under the floppies directory and the utilities to create the floppies are under the tools directory. If you want the easiest install, purchase the CDROM and do a CDROM install. Proceeds help the FreeBSD organization. It is also the fastest installation. The next easiest install is to do an FTP install over the Internet. All you need are the 2 boot floppies (/pub/FreeBSD/3.2-RELEASE/floppies/kern.flp and /pub/FreeBSD/3.2-RELEASE/floppies/mfsroot.flp) Follow the instructions on how to get started from www.freebsd.org. If you have a slow dialup connection, just do a minimal installation. This will get you started and you can always download additional distribution packages after the install. I have also done minimal installs using the boot floppies and a copy of everything in the 3.2-RELEASE/bin directory located on a spare MS-DOS partition. I think you could even to place the bin files on a floppy. Is that what you wanted? johnl Ant Clifford wrote: > > hi > exactly which driectories do i need to download in order to install > freebsd?

X-Mailer: VM 6.73 under Emacs 20.3.1 Cc: Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hey all, Just a quickie question before I hack something together for myself ... is there a pre-existing "quick-n-dirty" (or heck, even clean) way that people check to see when ports are out of date (w.r.t. to their /usr/ports tree) after they CVSup the ports collection? For instance, last night I updated my ports tree and went to sleep while it ran. This morning I looked through the logs to see what had changed, etc. I noticed a new version of "gcombust" which I'm playing with to burn CDs was available. I just happened to notice this though. Is there something somebody has hacked up to look at the ports they currently have installed on their machine and cross reference that to the versions available in /usr/ports/*/Makefile to give a quick 'report' on things that could be upgraded? I didn't see any target like such in /usr/ports/Makefile and the man pages on pkg_info, etc. didn't give hints that anything like this exists currently.

I am systematically picking something that bothers me and fixing it, trying to get a system in perfect working order (an unattainable goal I'm sure, but I can try :)). Lately I have been noticing this particular error pop up on my console: thundarr /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 127.0.0.1rt Obviously this is some sort of ethernet thing. I have two Intel Pro/100B cards, one to the dorm network and the other to my win98 machine. I am using natd to allow both machines to access the Internet. Other services I am running include sshd, Samba, httpd (apache) and for the moment SWAT. Sendmail loads up to mail stuff to root all the time as well. The above error does not seem to always restrict itself to network applications. For the most part, I get them when i try to reload nmbd after making some changes to my smbd.conf file (i reload both smbd and nmbd). However, I tried to play 'same-gnome' to kill some time earlier and was also seeing that error. To make sure it was not a coincidence I killed and reloaded the game a couple of times, and other gnome games (gnome-stones i think) and received the same error. The irritation factor here is that whatever programs seem to generate this error will not completely load until there is some sort of error timeout. Basically I would just like to understand what is going on here and what I can do to fix it. I can provide a copy of hosts or whatever if that would be more helpful, just mail me off the list.

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 Hi, I've looked for information in the Handbook, but can't seem to find what I need to know in order to complete the configuration of a freebsd firewall. I've installed 2 ethernet cards in my computer, and by someone's suggestion I recompiled my kernel and got freebsd to recognize it. I also added IP_FIREWALL and IP_DIVERT while I was compiling the kernel for this project. I've tried adding rules using ipf and ipfw, and I've played with natd for about a week now, but still haven't figured out how to set it up. The boxes on the private network can ping both ed0 and ed1 in the freebsd box, but they cannot contact anything on the outside network. Some additional details: the private network is on the 10.0.0.x subnet, and I'm running a 3.2-RELEASE kernel according to uname. I've edited rc.conf; these lines refer to my firewall configuration: firewall_enable="YES" # Set to YES to enable firewall functionality firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall" # Which script to run to set up the firewall firewall_type="open" # Firewall type (see /etc/rc.firewall) firewall_quiet="NO" # Set to YES to suppress rule display All I want for now is a forwarding firewall; I'll worry about tightening security later. What am I forgetting to set up, and how do I go about it? Thanks for the help! DanL Disclaimer: Not only do I speak for myself; I am myself.

Yes, I've noticed that bug for quite a while.

It wouldn't overheat the CPU. The only problem it causes for me is that my load average goes up and my long-running niced daemons suffer a bit. --Ludwig Pummer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 11 18: 8: 5 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from inet.chip-web.com (c1003518-a.plstn1.sfba.home.com [24.1.82.47]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 969EB14E4B for ; Sat, 11 Sep 1999 18:08:03 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ludwigp@bigfoot.com) Received: (qmail 14393 invoked from network); 12 Sep 1999 01:08:03 -0000 Received: from speedy.chip-web.com (HELO bigfoot.com) (172.16.1.1) by inet.chip-web.com with SMTP; 12 Sep 1999 01:08:03 -0000 Message-ID: <37DAFCBC.AE339197@bigfoot.com> Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 18:07:08 -0700 From: Ludwig Pummer X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "Michael W.

Just grab the file apache-1.3.6.tar.gz from /usr/ports/distfiles, copy it to a location of your preference (such as /usr/local/src) and unpack it there. If you're going to be building modules into it, you want to keep it there and use it instead of the ports collection - personally, I find it more practical to do manual installs for Apache. If it's been deleted, you can always get a new copy from ftp://ftp.apache.org/dist/ (1.3.9 is out, by the way). -ac To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 11 22:32:54 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from granite.sentex.net (granite.sentex.ca [199.212.134.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CB3CF14D69 for ; Sat, 11 Sep 1999 22:32:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mike@sentex.net) Received: from ospf-mdt.sentex.net (ospf-mdt.sentex.net [205.211.164.81]) by granite.sentex.net (8.8.8/8.6.9) with SMTP id BAA10339; Sun, 12 Sep 1999 01:32:39 -0400 (EDT) From: mike@sentex.net (Mike Tancsa) To: yossy@netvigator.com (Yoshiharu Iguchi) Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Adding Apache modules Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 05:46:10 GMT Message-ID: <37db3d37.548920385@mail.sentex.net> References: In-Reply-To: X-Mailer: Forte Agent .99e/32.227 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 12 Sep 1999 00:29:44 -0400, in sentex.lists.freebsd.questions you wrote: >a sources of apache packages.

Hi, You need to install the ports tree, or part of it, or at the very least, just the port portion of apache on your machine. The whole tree does not take up much space, and you will get a lot of milage out of it once installed. Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org and look under the ported-applications link. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."

Obviously, this has to do with the way your loopback interface (127.0.0.1) is configured which is why you get the error when you are using X apps as well.

I'm just figuring. I have an SB64AWE running on a 3.2-STABLE box without problems...what's more it sounds cool... so let me see... I suspect you are missing a line which should read: device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr It is not easy to figure out that you need both lines (sb0 and sbxvi0) but this is the case here ...once you get used to it you will not forget it any more. Also there should be a "device opl0 at isa? port 0x338" because the card has this feature. > > > What might be wrong ? > I'm using an original Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16 Plug & Play. > > Hopefully, > Marco I hope this helps.
