I have a 16-bit Etherlink-II (aka. 3c503) and had to use the ``link2'' flag to get the card to use the AUI port rather than the BNC port.

NCSA HTTPD , WU FTPD , IRC , GOPHER , INN - so just grab sources , compile and enjoy. You'll need a 2-3 diffrent E_mail front-ends ( the favorites are pine and elm), 2-3 Usenet News front-ends ( tin , trn & nn ). A couple of user-friendly editors ( I use _only vi and emacs , so pls forgive me :(( - like pico , jed , jove and alike ( two modes in vi are so :)) confusing ). Probably you'll need also a kinda menu - which will meet users after login - instead of cryptic tcsh prompt :). Well , that's about it ... May be POP3 server for SLIP/PPP users ... As for general security - stay tuned to these masiling lists , so you'll be the first who hear about new security hole ( if any ) and will be able to take appr. actions. To me FreeBSD looks pretty secure .

If you just have the kernel sources installed, edit the Makefile (in /sys/compile//Makefile and remove the ``-nostdinc'' flag from the ``INCLUDES='' line. That should cure your problem.

Hubbard" Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The configuration of my PC is: IBM Alaris 486SLC2-66Mhz VLB motherboard Generic VLB I/O Controller card Spider Graphics VLB video with CL-5426 accelerator Western Digital 540MB master drive Western Digital 250MB slave drive NEC Model 210 2X CD-ROM drive with SCSI interface to Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum sound card. My setup is intended to have my slave drive devoted entirely to FreeBSD 2.0. The initial installation went very well, however, I seem to be getting a lot of different errors when I attempt to install the distributions from the CD-ROM onto the slave drive. The consistent errors I get are: 1. Checksum errors 2. "SCSI timeout--WAIT_FOR_REQ--pas.c:891" 3. Unexpected end of file errors in archive file I must have tried the installation process about a dozen times, and these errors never occur at the same part of the install sequence. The run LEDs on my CD-ROM also stays on even if I go back to the shell and umount it. The drive will only reset it upon reboot. Once I got an "Extract Complete" message after initiating the bindist installation, but then I went back to look at the system messages to be sure. I saw the following messages: cat: bindist.blc: no such file or dir . . cat: bindist.cd: no such file or dir gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: unexpected EOF on archive file ./extract.sh: 36: Syntax error: end of file expected (expected "fi") I have a feeling there were other error message preceeding these, but I did not get a chance to see them. After this, I checked my free disk space, and only 6.6MB of binaries were written to my slave drive. If I were to venture a guess, I would say that my CD-ROM or sound card configuration has an interface problem with FreeBSD. I also tried to install some of the smaller distributions, and at times, they installed without incident. Could not get XFREE86 to install because it expected bindist to be correctly installed before going on. The checksum error is the most frequent one, in which case, the CD-ROM drive will hang. At this point, I've tried everything I could think of, so any help would be appreciated. Leonard W.

I want to thank you all for your good help and attention. Once I got it banged through my head that I needed to init three (not one) serial devices, the other two being the initial state and locked state devices, and added these to my rc.serial, everthing went much better. (Also added the cua?? devices for good measure and in anticipation of the next step) At first I had some spurious chars coming through, but tweaking the init and the various config files cleared that up. The help with tip was also invaluable since I found it hard to believe that I could not init my modem from BSD. Many, many thanks. The last question I have on the subject is how to hang up cleanly. When I logout from the remote terminal (which is DOS based - Telix), I get high order garbage which has a tendancy to lock the DOS term. Any idea how I might hang up cleanly without generating garbage? I seem to recall from my Waffle days that there was a config item called "strictclose" or something like that which closed the serial port connection very strictly in compliance with certain rules (?) and got rid of the same problem. Thanks again, a thousand times. With your good help and pointers it has been a pleasure... the 4.4 SMM and Man pages just could not have ever gotten me there as fast. BTW, has anyone ever done anything on the order of "A Complete Idiot's Guide to (Free)BSD" for the truly remedial? The O'Reilly manuals, while certainly useful, assume a certain level of knowledge that I simply do not have, and they gloss details and subtleties that I just don't pick up on the first time through. shane ----- Shane G.

I just saw Shane Anderson's post regarding his success with modem dial in. I am having the same problem. Let me see, I followed the FreeBSD FAQ regarding how to set my modem for dial in, and had ttyd02 "/usr/libexec/getty std.2400" on in my /etc/ttys I saved the modems registers and flags as required by the FAQ Dial'ed in and sucessfully connected at 2400 baud from a friend's modem. But after that any attempt to dial in with my 14.4k, set to 2400 resulted in a screen full of garbage. Whether or not I enable or disable MNP5 (AT&F0, AT&F1), I still get garbage.

Yes, it should run just fine unless AMI has done something really stupid and made the board incompatible in some strange way. I have run FreeBSD on the ASUS PCI/E-P54NP4 and the PCI/I-P54NP4 dual pentium boards, both with 1 cpu and 2 cpu's plugged in, it just won't use the second CPU. You can also run with the APIC enabled as FreeBSD does not touch the APIC and leaves it in virtual wire or PIC mode: This is a Pentium 735\\90 or 815\\100 Stepping=1 Features=0x7bf FPU VME PSE MCE CX8 APIC Before you buy the board I would suggest checking to find out if it is Intel MPspec 1.1 compliant. If it is there is a good chance it will work with the SMP support that is planned for a future release of FreeBSD. If it is not compliant I suggest you get one of the ASUS boards, they both are compliant. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 2 22:18:51 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id WAA24686 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Apr 1995 22:18:51 -0700 Received: from mramirez.sy.yale.edu (mramirez.sy.yale.edu [130.132.57.207]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id WAA24668 for ; Sun, 2 Apr 1995 22:18:34 -0700 Received: (from mrami@localhost) by mramirez.sy.yale.edu (8.6.9/8.6.9) id BAA23581; Mon, 3 Apr 1995 01:17:58 -0400 Date: Mon, 3 Apr 1995 01:17:57 -0400 (EDT) From: Marc Ramirez Reply-To: mrami@minerva.cis.yale.edu To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Colorado Jumbo 250MB ft, and FreeBSD 2.0R Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I can't seem to get these two to work.

Instead, after idle for some moments, I start getting funny characters echoed back to me whenever I press on any key on the keyboard. Most noticeably is that return becomes ~M and all sorts of wrong characters get echoed back. However, if I kill the getty listening on the dial-in modem, it will return me a proper login prompt without dropping connection and I was able to login successfully. Any idea what is wrong ? Why the first getty job not giving me the correct response, but have to wait for me to kill it and respawn to talk correctly with the dial-out modem ? Does the first getty assume a wrong speed when it is started ? Thanks in advance.

The kernel won't do any terminal input/output in the SLIP line discipline (IMHO it wouldn't be a bad thing if one could still do terminal output, but there are probably issues I haven't considered). So, any I/O (such as your "echo" above) has to be done before /usr/sbin/sliplogin changes into the SLIP discipline :-( I've had to hack sliplogin to implement some local stuff... > Help?!

A problem I've seen is not locking the dialing modem at the terminal's speed; it appears when a high-speed connection is made, the modem's serial port speed seems indeterminate depending on the type of connection (in particular, I've seen this problem with a 28.8 modem to 14.4 modem and a 14.4 to 28.8). On the USR Sportsters I'm familiar with, "AT&B1" locks the modem's serial port at the data rate used to issue the command, and it has solved the problems I've seen here... > This is most frustrating.

The command string most likely depends on your brand of modems, but as I mentioned above "AT&B1" locks our USR Sportsters at the current data rate. "AT&B2&W" sets our Sportsters (on the dialup side) to use a locked speed for error-corrected connections (V.42 or MNP), and vary the port speed for other connections. We also have "AT&N0" set on our dialup Sportsters, which allows connections at any of the supported connection rates (300 bps to 14.4Kbps). I would hope that you could find the modem port's speed (by adjusting your terminal program's port speed, perhaps to 19.2Kb and 38.4Kb if 9600 doesn't work) and at least verify that the two modems are correctly communicating... > I guess the question becomes then: what high speed modem should I > purchase that WILL work, and where do I get it (if not an off-the > shelf modem)?

Is it possible that you are using a port speed higher than 2400 baud (such as 19.2Kbps) between your PC and 14.4k modem? If so, you may need to give your local modem a command to lock the port speed ("AT&B1" on the USR Sportster) before dialing the 2400-baud modem. > I am not aware of any lock states, initial states, or > /etc/rc.local changes. > > I've been trying to get this working for 2 weeks, and I know > I'm missing a few points. > > Thankx > TR Nguyen Hope this helps, Guy Guy Helmer, Dakota State University Computing Services - ghelmer@alpha.dsu.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 3 07:50:28 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id HAA10165 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Apr 1995 07:50:28 -0700 Received: from hda.com (hda.com [199.232.40.182]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id HAA10159 for ; Mon, 3 Apr 1995 07:50:22 -0700 Received: (dufault@localhost) by hda.com (8.6.9/8.3) id KAA00243; Mon, 3 Apr 1995 10:49:49 -0400 From: Peter Dufault Message-Id: <199504031449.KAA00243@hda.com> Subject: Re: Problems with adaptec1542B To: freiburg@chemie.uni-hamburg.de (Erwin Freiburg) Date: Mon, 3 Apr 1995 10:49:49 -0400 (EDT) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <9504031157.AA16509@pcaix1.chemie.uni-hamburg.de> from "Erwin Freiburg" at Apr 3, 95 01:57:57 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1340 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Erwin Freiburg writes: > > I wanted to install FreeBSD 2.0 on my Cx486DX40-PC with 32 Meg's of > RAM and an Adaptec 1542B - SCSI-Controller (BIOS-Version 3.2). > > FreeBSD boots correctly, but detects the SCSI-Adapter-Card as a > 1542C/CF: -current is supposed to correctly identify this as a "154xB-3.2", though I have no way to test this.

The installation utility is actually a set of macros that have been imple- -mented in the file /root/.profile, if I understand the FAQs I have read, correctly. The problem is that the file /root/.profile is overwritten with a "vanilla" /root/.profile upon reboot, and the "installation" version is gone forever. Installation FAQs recommend copying it to a backup location just before rebooting, just after installation has succeeded. However, it is also possible to work around this and do the installation of the appropriate subsystem(s), manually. (1) copy the set of files ( manpages.aa -> manpages.xx, for example ) and the associated cksums andshellscripts ( *.sh ) to /usr/tmp (2) grep for DESTDIR in the installation shellscripts and see that it is set to point to the correct destination ( /usr/share/man, in the case of the man pages ). (3) Run the installation shellscript ; "install.sh", if I recall right. You may prefer to unpack the fileset in /usr/tmp and tar it into place your- -self, if you understand how to use tar(1) to transfer file hierarchies ( I suspect there may a good example in the man page for tar(1) :-).

You can log information to a file, but not to the screen. See the sliplogin.c source if you want to make changes. [Hint to developpers] One useful fix I'd like to see added is the local and remote IP addresses printed out to the terminal's console before slip starts. One VERY imporant thing that I uncovered when using SLIP connections is this: - The slip driver will auto-negotiate TCP header compression ON, but not OFF, thus causing lots of headaches for the unsuspecting user who is not using header compression, especially AFTER someone else did use it on the same SLIP interface. (ie: name server lookups work, but telnet doesn't). The reason of course is that TCP packets don't make it through the link, but UDP packets do. Do yourself a favor and add the -LINK0 option to your slip.logout file. As in: ifconfig $1 -LINK0 down. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Webster Network Manager / Special Projects Dataradio Inc. 200-5500 Royalmount Ave. TEL: +1 514 737 0020 Town of Mount Royal, QC, CANADA H4P 1H7 FAX: +1 514 737 7883 http://www.dataradio.com Email: awebster@dataradio.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 3 09:07:51 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id JAA11582 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Apr 1995 09:07:51 -0700 Received: from kksys.skypoint.net (kksys.skypoint.net [199.86.32.5]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id JAA11576 for ; Mon, 3 Apr 1995 09:07:49 -0700 Received: from starfire.mn.org by kksys.skypoint.net with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #2) id m0rvobd-00053oC; Mon, 3 Apr 95 11:03 CDT Received: (from john@localhost) by starfire.mn.org (8.6.8/1.2.1) id LAA26186 for FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org; Mon, 3 Apr 1995 11:06:02 -0500 From: John Lind Message-Id: <199504031606.LAA26186@starfire.mn.org> Subject: PPP logins To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org (FreeBSD questions) Date: Mon, 3 Apr 1995 11:06:01 -0500 (CDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 407 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have read through the ppp.FAQ a number of times, and it simply doesn't seem to address the issue of having ppp logins (like SLIP logins) such that a port can be shared with PPP users and regular ASCII users.

First off, I'd like to note that there is a serious lack of instruction concerning floppy installs. There are no real directions for how files should be stored on floppies, or even that they should be DOS floppies. This is bad since there are a lot of people who aren't lucky enough to have SLIP connections to FTP over, or even ethernet to their homes or apartments. (I have personally found the FTP install a wonderful piece of work.) Now, to get right at the problem, my dad downloads all the necessary files (bin, secure, manpages, info, etc.) He is making sure that he uses binary downloads throughout the whole process. He puts each distribution on its own set of DOS floppies. He then creates the boot and cpio floppies. He can successfully boot and install the /stand utilities onto the machine, but when he goes to install the bin distribution he gets a checksum error. He's tried this a few times, downloading and copying files each time, and it's the same old problem. Does anyone have a clue as to what the problem is? Is there a specific way that he needs to put the files on the floppies? Does the CKSUMS need to be downloaded as binary or text? He'd like to get FreeBSD installed soon so he can do some project work he needs to do. If he can't get it installed, he might have to go back to SCO Unix, but I don't think he really wants to do that.

We've been using a DOS-based 286 with KA9Q in the past, but want to switch over. The FreeBSD system is a 25MHz 386, and seems to work fine, but FTP performance is very slow - about 3Kb per second. FTPing to either side of the router gets me 80Kb and 30Kb rates, respectively. The system has a blistering 5M of memory and is using a pair of DLink NE2000-type 16-bit boards (DE-220). I built the kernel with the following: device ed0 at isa? port 0x320 net irq 11 vector edintr device ed1 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector edintr Can anyone think of why the performance is poor? At one point I ran it with a floppy-disk based version of FreeBSD-1.4 using a DLink and a SMC Elite 16 board and I think the performance was better (but don't quote me on that!). And running KA9Q on this system shows good performance. Thanks!

This is currently being discussed in the BSDI lists and the solution that struck me as sensible is to be able to specify that a cron job is executed at UST rather than local time. That'll guarantee it always gets run. There's also a problem when DST goes the other way in that the jobs get run twice. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member.

Yes. The VT300 series has multiple pages of memory and the idea of "switch session" (it has a key for it). It assumes intelligence on the part of the other end to implement the protocol, however. Generally, all DECServer terminal servers do the implementation for it. You should use a line analyzer to dump the traffic; I don't remember the undocumented escape sequences they used to do the job. You should note that the protocol on switching sessions this way is largely similar to transparent printing; that is, there are some assumptions about interruption of escape sequences. Typically, this will mean that you will either need to ensure your I/O is done by the host machine in such a way that writes of escape sequences are atomic (VMS guarantees this, for instance), *OR* you will need to maintain a finite state automaton that knows what state the terminal is in and only allows session switching at state 0 (no escape sequence in progress). Maintaining a finite state automaton for the terminal for transparent printing is actually one of the technology pieces that makes to Digiboard driver available only under non-disclosure. They were one of the first companies to do this. > Along the same lines; Is there a way to force a log-out of a terminal > that has been inactive for x amount. of time? Not really along the same lines at all. 8-). Look in the comp.sources.unix archives; there are bazillions of these programs. Several of them are named "watchdog". You could do the same thing relatively easily, depending on what you mean by "idle" by simply statting the tty to determine last access time (ie: look at how "who" and "finger" count idle time).

He said it was simple to compile on his Linux box, and his system ran noticeably faster. It would be really cool if FreeBSD had this compiler since it contains the ability to do -pentium optimizations. Intel released a hacked verison of gcc a while back (i2.4.0) that contained much of the Proton compiler optimizations. Proton is the Intel reference compiler. They were noticing around 25% speedup at that time. Unfortunately, they broke a few things in that version, and the changes were not (to my knowledge) folded into the general gcc release. Someone else must be maintaining a parallel source tree. Anyway, I'm just scouting around for info since I saw the post. I asked the poster where he got the compiler. -Clint From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 3 11:21:07 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id LAA14638 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Apr 1995 11:21:07 -0700 Received: from cybernetics.net (root@server0.cybernetics.net [198.80.48.52]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id LAA14632; Mon, 3 Apr 1995 11:21:05 -0700 Received: from ws0.cybernetics.net (ws0.corp.cybernetx.net) by cybernetics.net (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA01039; Mon, 3 Apr 95 14:20:45 EDT Received: by ws0.cybernetics.net (8.6.9/Sea-0.0c) id OAA20416; Mon, 3 Apr 1995 14:15:55 -0400 Date: Mon, 3 Apr 1995 14:15:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Michael Quigley X-Sender: michael@ws0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-misc@FreeBSD.org Subject: Xylogics Annex Software Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I heard through the rumor mill that someone got the Annex erpcd software working under FreeBSD.

It has one IDE drive and one SCSI drive. I cannot use the IDE drive for FreeBSD as it is not my machine. I have two symptoms which I assume are related: (1) Disklabel (via sysinstall) loses the mount points when I Reread. (2) When BootEasy transfers me to the second disk, the kernel is not found on sd(0,a). If I enter sd(1,a) the kernel is found & starts booting but then cannot mount root. I have tried faking the geometry but that did not help. I have made sure my root partition is < 1024 cylinders. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My wife and I call them "Lower Botswana Boards (tm)" since no one seems to know where or by whom the boards were manufactured. I think I paid $35.00 each for them.

Perhaps this is obvious, but if you provided complete information on the panic, there's just a chance that we might be able to fix that problem in the future.

If the mouse is actually connected to what would be your "com2" port under DOS, then the correct device is "/dev/tty01". Using the "mse" driver in your kernel at 'port "IO_COM2" tty irq3' is guaranteed to fail if you actually have a com2. Part of the "mse" device configuration disables interrupt conflict detection, and you will have two device drivers trying to attach to IRQ 3 and use the I/O address range "IO_COM2" (and only one of the drivers can actually work the com driver, and it can't share interrupts). If you can, put your kernel back. Then if you truly have a bus mouse, look at the LINT k3ernel configuration for the line to add to your configuration. Otherwise, if you have a PS/2 mouse, it will plug into the mouse port on your machine (actually, the second channel on the keyboard controller) and you should add the PS/2 driver. After that, make sure the device the mouse is attached to probes as existing when you reboot, then the remaining problem is setting up your X config correctly. Post to questions again if you get that far and it still doesn't work, or post to questions@xfree.org.

Presumably, for 1) I need gated and IPFORWARD ? for 2) I need an extremely secure system, and I remembered people are talking about ipfirewall, deslogin etc, can some of them be mixed together to achieve a secure system ? for 3), I have no idea how I can turn a FreeBSD box into a terminal server at all.

IPFORWARD, yes. Gated, probably not unless you are running more than one subnet. Just set all (internal) machines default route to the FreeBSD gateway and it should work. > for 2) I need an extremely secure system, and I remembered people > are talking about ipfirewall, deslogin etc, can some of them be > mixed together to achieve a secure system ? For PPP you have two options... there are two firewalling systems available. If you use /usr/bin/ppp with the tun driver, there is built-in firewalling to the ppp program, and it also allows you to set what triggers the dial-out if you set it to auto-dial. There is also the `ipfw' utility which uses kernel level firewalls. My suggestion would be to read the example given in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.filter.sample, as it sets up a firewall which allows little or no access to the actual gateway machine apart from the internal network. However, it allows packets to be routed across the PPP link in either direction. > for 3), I have no idea how I can turn a FreeBSD box into a terminal > server at all. What sort of terminals? Dial in or hard wired? For hard wired terminals it's relatively easy, you just set up /etc/ttys with the relevant info. Dial-in is a bit more difficult, and what you want depends on whether you want simple login access or to provide slip/ppp access. Hope this helps some.

Browsing through some of the driver sources and reading some of the comments and disclaimers, I stronly suspect that the drivers for the various supported IO devices vary quite a bit in quality, both in terms of robustness and the extent to which they exploit the potential performance of the hardware. I've also seen a lot of reports going by on the mailing lists about problems with motherboards and other components. There seems to be some documentation in the FAQ on supported hardware and a short list of systems "known to work", but the one I saw was pitifully small considering the number of FreeBSD users out there. I am therefore conducting a little survey to try to fill out the list somewhat, particularly for the benefit of people who are buying hardware specifically to run FreeBSD as an open-architecture alternative to proprietary workstation-class machines. I will collect the responses and send them to interested parties, as well as to the FAQ maintainer. I am interested in hearing from users who are currently running FreeBSD on high-peformance Pentium or fast 486 PCI/SCSI-based systems. I have the following specific questions about your setup: 1) What make and model of motherboard are you using? If it is a no-name generic, what chip set does it use? 2) If you are running a PCI/SCSI-based system, what make and model of host adapter are you using? Also, make and model of disk drives, tape drives, CD-ROM, etc. 3) How robust does FreeBSD appear to be on your configuration? Have you had device-driver related problems on your system, and how frequent or troublesome have they been? 4) Have you have had the opportunity to compare peformance or reliability of your present hardware configuration with another one? If so, what were the results? 5) What make/model of graphics adapter do you use? Is it accelerated? If you use X, how "snappy" does it feel? If you've used a workstation class machine, how does X performance on your FreeBSD machine stack up?

Screen which is in port/utils/screen is: Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (typically interactive shells). Each virtual terminal provides the functions of a DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g. insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste mechanism that allows moving text regions between windows.

Canada > David, I cannot speak for the FreeBSD design team, but from my personal experience, the kernel only supports 850/950 based cards. Apparently, the chip on this card is quite similar to the seagate ST-01 chip, and as such the same driver works for both. I have done some work (not FreeBSD related) with the ST01, and I can tell you that it is a memory mapped only device. Make sure that you have included the sea0 driver in your kernel, and that the memory window, and IRQ settings match your card's settings. Boot with the -c option so that you can adjust these as necessary. The driver only knows about certain ROM versions of the future domain card. If you look in sea.c you will see the strings that it tries to match. If your card has a different ROM version, you might want to try hacking the sea.c driver so that it knows about it.

The mouse is connected to the com port of the serial card. I also have another serial card installed. Both cards are 16450 (not that it matters). I followed the directions in the README.FreeBSD that came with XFree86-3.1.1 for creating the mouse device file. I tried "sh MAKEDEV tty00" and "sh MAKEDEV tty01" but could not figure out what device file it should have created for the mouse. I have also tried "cat < /dev/tty??" for all possible devices to check for mouse activity. The serial ports sio0 and sio1 are probed successfully at boot time, and lpt0 is found also. But there is no entry for /dev/sio0 or /dev/sio1. Should there be? Or do sio0 and sio1 relate to tty00 and tty01, both of which are not in /dev either. I would like to know the major/minor numbers of these devices so I can make them manually if I have to. I remember reading earlier someone had a similar problem with not knowing what the major and minor numbers should be for varous devices. I'd appreciate any help or pointers to other FAQs.

I'm am trying to bind a socket to a specific port (> 1024) with address INADDR_ANY using the TCP protocol in the Inet domain with the REUSEADDR and REUSEPORT options enabled and I get the EADDRINUSE error. I looked at what I believe to be the netinet source code for "bind" processing (in_pcb.c) and it is unclear why in in_pcbbind near: return (error); t = in_pcblookup(head, zeroin_addr, 0, sin->sin_addr, lport, wild); if (t && (reuseport & t->inp_socket->so_options) == 0) return (EADDRINUSE); there is this check against the option settings of the in_pcblookup results. It would seem that, if reuseport is ever true (and in my case it is (I think)), then any "sin" address will always be declared in use even if it has never been in use. I have verified this. With REUSEADDR and REUSEPORT not enabled, the bind works. With them enabled, it does not. I've tried just using REUSEADDR, and while I can get the bind to work, any subsequent attempt at "reusing" the port results in the same error. Whatdayathink? Do I have it all wrong? It there some clever work around or patch that I can use to move on? Thanx in advance. --- keith@cmc.eng.comsat.com --- /~~~~~\ /~~~~\ /~\ /~\ |~~~~\ /~~\ |~~~~~~~| Keith G.

It could be either or both. The modem should "follow remote carrier". This means that it should not assert DCD to the computer unless carrier is present on the line. On modern Hayes modems, this is AT&C1. The modem should "reset as if powered of and turned on on an on-to-off transition of DTR from the computer". On modern Hayes modems, this is AT&D2. Neither one of these are the default for most modems (which are set up for unidirectional dialing by DOS weenies, so everything is forced high so that it will "just work" for most unidirectional uses). Hopefully, this provides enough information that you will be able to isolate where your problem is occuring and rectify it. I need to appologize in advance for the length, but the login/getty/tty state transitions don't seem to be documented fully anywhere, and because you are not using the system supplied "getty" program, you will have to diagnose where in the state table the "mgetty" you are using instead is failing. ------------ The modem cable should not have any pins crossed in it to force signals high. Make sure you have a "straight through" cable. You should be using a calling unit device instead of a tty device. This should be part of a MAKEDEV in the /dev directory, done as root. The practical effect of the /dev/cua0/cua1 device will be the setting of the terminal modes HUPCL and -CLOCAL; you should log in through the modem and type "stty -a" to make sure these settings are present. In incorrectly configured program (ie: mgetty) could result in the flags being set incorrectly after login. The use of "mgetty" is a problem. The "mgetty" program differs from the "getty" program in that it opens the port and hangs on a read waiting for the modem to announce a baud rate so that it can set line speed. The ability to open without DCD present is a real problem, in that it defeats the purpose of a calling unit device and thereby thwarts the normal modem login sequence. A normal UNIX login sequence operates as follows: STATE TRANSITIONS IN THE MODEM/COMPUTER STATE MACHINE DURING LOGIN: [ The modem is set up to track DCD ] [ The modem is set up to react to DTR ] [ The computer is set up to use modem control on the port ] 1) The modem comes on; the computer is not in multiuser mode, so DTR is not asserted. The mode will not answer the phone until DTR is asserted. 2) The computer goes to multiuser mode. A "getty" is started on the port. 3) The "getty" performs an open. Because the modem has not asserted DCD because it does not have a connection the "getty" hangs in the open. 4) The act of entering the open but not completing it means that the port is "partially open". The port asserts DTR to the modem. 5) Because DTR is asserted, the modem can now answer the phone if it rings. 6) Input prior to the open completing is not queued. 7) Someone calls. 8) The modem says "RING" to the computer. It also raises The RI (Ring Indicate) signal line if that is connected. 9) The RI line is ignored by the driver; more on this later. 10) Because DCD is not yet asserted by the modem, the "RING" strings are simply not queued as input. 11) The modem answers the phone. Its first act is to report its "CONNECT " message to the computer. 12) Like other input prior to DCD being present, this data is ignored. 13) As the final act in establishing the connection, the modem asserts DCD. 14) When DCD is asserted, the driver allows the open to complete. 15) The next statement in the "getty" causes the system banner (usually the contents of the file "/etc/issue") to be printed, followed by " login:". 16) If the user does not see this, they send "break" signals; the "getty" changes the baud rate and reissues the prompt for each break signal received. The baud rates for a particular line, as well as the default line settings for each are stored in the /etc/gettytab file. 17) The user types their name followed by . 18) The "getty" program exec's the "/bin/login" program, passing the user's name. 19) The "/bin/login" program prompts for a "password:" and then uses the library routine getpass() to read the password without echo. 20) A password entered is encrypted with the salt for the password file entry for the user name passed to login; the encryption is performed iteratively, the net effect being a hash. The encrypted password is compared to the entry from the password file. 21) If the name was not in the password file, or the password did not match, then an error is printed. The "/bin/login" program reissues a "login:" prompt for the name (this is why subsequent logins don't have the same banner as the initial login attempt). A sufficient number of failures will cause the "/bin/login" program to exit in most security conscious implementations. The result of this is the same as a successfully logged in user who has logged out (see below). Typically, a security conscious login program will delay between failed attempts as well to slow down potential crackers. 22) On a successful match of name + password, "/bin/login" will exec the shell line from the users password entry. Again, modern secure systems will ensure that the program to be run is in the file "/etc/shells". A NULL entry is taken to mean "/bin/sh", although a more flexible implementation would get its default from the first entry in "/etc/shells". 23) The user interacts with the computer until they decide to log out. The log out can take two forms: a disconnect by the user, and an explicti command to the system to exit the top level shell by the user. --- 24a) The user disconnects the connection from their end. 25a) The modem deasserts DCD (because it is set up correctly). 26a) The tty settings include -CLOCAL. Because of this, the top level shell (the "process group leader") is sent a SIGHUP causing it to exit. 27a) In a correct implementation, a signal delivered to the process group leader is delivered to the process group; there are some who would argue this on the basis of POSIX; they should read the forthcoming book "UNIX Internals: The New Frontier" (Prentice Hall). 28a) When the final process has exited, since the tty settings include HUPCL, the DTR is dropped; the period of drop should be in excess of 250ms in a correct impelementation, and the device should block all requests until the time period has expired. 29a) The modem resets as if powered off then on when the on-to-off DTR transition occurs (because it is set up correctly). 30a) The "init" process is the parent of the top level shell; it gets the SIGCHLD, and reaps the process. It restarts a "getty" on the port (but the open is blocked until the DTR toggle has had sufficient time to cause the modem to begin to reset). 31a) The cycle starts over. --- 24b) The user explicitly logs out. 25b) The last process closes the port. 26b) The tty settings include HUPCL. Because of this, the DTR is dropped; the period of the drop should be in excess of 250ms in a correct impelementation, and the device should block all requests until the time period has expired. 27b) The modem resets as if powered off then on when the on-to-off DTR transition occurs (because it is set up correctly). This act dumps the connection between the modem and the users modem, and the connection is lost ("NO CARRIER"). 28b) The "init" process is the parent of the top level shell; it gets the SIGCHLD, and reaps the process. It restarts a "getty" on the port (but the open is blocked until the DTR toggle has had sufficient time to cause the modem to begin to reset). 29b) The cycle starts over. ------------------------------------------------------------------ A COMMON PROBLEM AND ITS CHARACTERISTIC SYMPTOMS: Note that an incorrect configuration involving DCD will typically cause the very obvious symptom of you calling the machine, getting a connection, and the machine hangs up on you. This is because the modem state transition table is confused. If it gets input from the computer AFTER it has carrier but BEFORE it has DCD, it thinks it is dialing out and that you are attempting to cancel the call (I have disassembled Hayes and US Robotics ROMS to diagnose this in the first place). This is exactly the situation if the computer has an input present before DCD is raised and echos the "RING" or "CONNECT" messages back to the modem. ------------------------------------------------------------------ WHAT WILL CAUSE FAILURE: If the mgetty incorrectly sets CLOCAL or -HUPCL in its effort to open the port without DCD being present, this will prevent normal operation. If the modem is set up incorrectly, this will prevent normal operation. If the cable between the modem and the computer is not a straight cable, it could interfere in the ability of the modem and the computer to correctly communicate DCD and DTR state information. If the mgetty/getty is started on a tty device instead of a cua device, the default port settings will not include -CLOCAL and HUPCL, and the connection will not behave as expected. If the signal settings in the /etc/gettytab file explicitly unset HUPCL or explicitly set CLOCAL, the connection will behave eratically. If the signal processing is not per BSD/SYSV instead of POSIX handling with regard to the delivery of SIGHUP to the process group instead of just the group leader (has to do with order of operation on delivery vs. signal propagation to children), the connection will be left open when following the "b" path, or processes will be left running and still associated with the tty (and a getty will not act correctly) following the "a" path. EDITORIAL OPINION: The "mgetty" program is bad. It should not succeed in the open without DCD present; this prevents the port for being used for dialout without killing the "mgetty". The correct way to open the port without DCD present is to use the O_NDELAY flag; this has the side effect of setting no delay on reads, when you probably do not want this, with no way to unset them. The correct procedure is to: open with O_NDELAY, open a second time without O_NDELAY (the second open will not block because there is already an open on the port), and close the first open. This is called "the partial open hack", but in reality it is not a hack (unless you consider the overloading of O_NDELAY in the first place a hack). The "mgetty" program should be rewritten to use an open flag that causes the open to hang until a "ring indicate" signal is seen instead od waiting for DCD. The driver should be rewritten to accomodate this. Then the "mgetty" should do it's reads normally; an alarm should be set so that if DCD (a "CONNECT" message) does not occur within a set period of time, the mgetty closes the port and reissues the open. This will guard against false alarms that are caused by a number of rings less than the guard rings that the modem is set to wait for before answering. Note that this flag *must* be seperate from the O_NDELAY flag, and the partial open hack could *not* be used to properly implement this approach. The locking of port parameters in "/etc/rc.serial" is bad; the serial driver should use bit fields in the device minor number to flag values that can not be set in "/etc/gettydefs"; all other values should be set in "/etc/gettydefs". This last will not preclude using the device, but it makes it messy.

The problem with firing all the jobs in the time period is sequence dependencies. You can argue that timing should not be used for most sequences ; thats is, dependent operations should all be fired by the same shell script. The problem with this ideal is that the sequence could be defined such that a backup will fire when the machine is assumed to be relatively idle. People who live in DST areas and fire backups at 2AM exactly should get their heads examined anyway.

Using the disk that came with the network card, or opening the box and looking at the jumper sttings on the card, determine the actual IRQ, I/O address, and memory range (if any) for the card. Then boot your system by typing /kernel -c at the boot prompt and modify the board settings. The main problem here is that the proble can return true for partially correct settings. In reality, an NE2000 driver should INB to read the other settings once the I/O port range is known (INB of IOBASE + 2 give IRQ, etc.). beBecause the driver doesn't do this, you will have to determine the card settings in their entirety.

I have not figured it out). We tried hard to get a IDSN and video capture into a Dell XPS 90 to run some DOS conferencing software and the Dell would not take the cards even with only the motherboard and video card in the machine (again could this be a port/IRQ/DMA conflict).

I have also seen this, but i had no idea what the hell was happening. I had a really big application that i was trying to get to work ( called dstool, it was a dymanical systems simulator ). It had never been built on any thing other then a sun or an rs6k running aix and XView ( at least that was what i thought the author told me, this was last year, i could be wrong ). After some noodling ( and help from jonas and his fantasticlly clean xview port ), i got it to compile. All except one tiny little teensy file that basically had two structures in it that had strings in them. The object made up fine, but i would then get an "ar failed" on it. I never posted to the list because the application was so limited in audience and the port was so experinmental in nature that i just figured it was not something worth mentioning, particularly since i had *never* seen it *before* or *since*.

SATAN isn't a defense system, it's an attack system. All you Not in my optimistic point of view! It was designed to "find" your security holes so that you can "plug" them.

You don't need to re-write the code to use SATAN for attack - it's how it works. Most traditional publically available scanners (cops, etc) have been internal scanners, i.e. run on the machine you want to check. SATAN is a tool which I can run on my box here in the UK (well, if I had more memory perhaps) and use it to scan ncbc.edu's security. It does this by going through similar steps that a hacker would, except one hell of a lot faster. It may have been designed to find holes in a system, but sensible system setups (e.g. having a very rich text root password, careful control of NFS exports, etc) will do far more for system security than SATAN ever could.

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ok this question is for all of you POP Gurus... I'm setting (trying atleast) to set up a POP using the popper that was sent with the CD ROM from Walnut creek. I have the inetd.conf reflecting where it is for both POP2 and POP3. When I log into in via a lan connection with the Eudora mailer I get the following message displayed on the UNIX moniter: ...popper[100]: Client address "?.?.?.8" not listed for its host name "mydomain_name.com" The last "mydomain_name.com" directly relfects the first entry in the /etc/hosts file that follows the ?.?.?.1 IP address which also is the address that Eudora is trying to connect to. ?.?.?.8 is the clients IP address. I'm assuming that there is something that I need to set up for the popper, since I have not configured anything except the inetd.conf file and the location of the file after unzipping it. Since there is not much in the way of real ducumentation and a quick scan of the man page tells me nothing about configurung the popper, I'm going to plead my case here.

The only problem is that DELL has a brained dead way of dealing with the CMOS for extended memory. They limit the amount of memory advertised in CMOS at 16MB (their interp of an old IBM spec). Memory beyond 16MB is advertised in the EISA CMOS. I spoke with several people at DELL about this and they claim they are right. When told everyone else seems to do it differently, the response was "They're all wrong". I just kludged the kernel so it could see all of my memory. Not ideal, but it works. BTW, I just bought a second SCSI disk for one of the machines. DELL uses non standard brackets. Thus, I had to buy a special DELL bracket for about $15.

D3 is reset, D2 is just drop carrier, disconnect, and go into command mode. Compare with your modem manual to make sure (I was reading a Multitech 224e manual, and that's why I got it wrong). The getty will only spawn login ahead if you are on a /dev/tty00 instead of /dev/cua00 (I think that's the one). Make sure you are using a modem control port so the getty open hangs until DCD is present. Make sure your cable doesn't have pind 8+20 tied together.

FreeBSD does not boot! Date: 5 Apr 1995 11:58:02 +1000 Organization: Telecom Australia Lines: 48 Distribution: world Message-ID: <3lstfa$e1t@kiwi.cssc-syd.tansu.com.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: kiwi.cssc-syd.tansu.com.au My problem: I bought the Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.0 yesterday, with the intention of replacing Linux with FreeBSD. I created a boot and a cpio floppy, as per the notes, and attempted to boot via the boot floppy. The boot floppy takes me through to the memory test message, which says something like "Testing memory (8M).." at which point the boot stops, and the system re-boots. It becomes an endless loop. I have and 486DX-40, 8 Meg RAM, with a Fujitsu 500M HD and an IBM 245M HD, , a 1.2 Floppy and a 1.44 Floppy, a Sound Blaster compatible plus a Mitsumi CDROM, and a Cirrus video card. From my understanding, none of this is unusual, and FreeBSD should be able to cope. Could it be: 1. A memory problem during the memory test? I consider this unlikely since I have never had memory problems. If it was the memory, I would have expected a memory error message, not a silent re-boot. 2. A hardware configuration problem? Like I said, I believe my hardware is fairly conventional, and both Linux and DOS work OK. Besides, the sound card, the cdrom, the HD's - none of these devices are accessed with the bootup floppy, right? 3. A BIOS problem? I have AMI BIOS. Perhaps a setting needs to be changed? Is the boot failing on the memory test, or on whatever it is the boot floppy does _after_ the memory test? Finally, is it possible for me to see the source of the boot floppy, perhaps add a few debug messages to the kernel, and build a new boot image? Could someone point me to doco on how I can do this? Thanks for your assistance - I really wanted to try FreeBSD. I hope my CD won't need to become a frisbee. I hope that I'm not stuck with Linux like it or not. -- Raoul Golan, Consultant for Object Oriented P/L, at ="Those who have put out Intelligent Networks Development, Telecom Australia = the eyes of the people Also student at Macquarie Univ.

One more observation: You can link against a *.a-Files that has a member of more than 15 chars and call functions defined in such members, but you cannot use it with ar to add new members and you cannot ranlib it. So, ld seems to be able to use files that ranlib and ar refuse. Therefore I guess the problem is somewhere in /usr/src/usr.bin/ar/archive.[ch] which is used by both ar(1) and ranlib(1) to read *.a files.

It compiles out of the box. It does not in the gcc 2.6.3 days. My 0322snap complains non integer array subscripts in .c file under ext brunch. There are a lot ST(0.) over there.

Ahh, this bug has been fixed since 2.0R. With 2.0R, you must use the 'truncate' option since ar/ranlib don't contain support for long archive.

(I re-wrote this message so that it was a bit easier to understand) I'm setting to set up a POP using the popper that was sent with the CD ROM from Walnut creek. I have the inetd.conf reflecting where it is for both POP2 and POP3. When I log into in via a lan connection with the Eudora mailer I get the following message displayed on the UNIX moniter and in the trace file: ...popper[100]: Client address "?.?.?.8" not listed for its host name "mydomain_name.com" The last "mydomain_name.com" directly relfects the entry in the /etc/hosts file: ?.?.?.1 mydomain_name.com loghost Eudora is trying to connect to to the popper using that address from a client on the lan with the address ?.?.?.8 I'm assuming that there is something that I need to set up for the popper or in the sendmail.cf, since I have not configured anything except the inetd.conf file and the location of the file after unzipping it. I've not modifed the sendmail.cf in any way. Since there is not much in the way of real ducumentation for the popper and a quick scan of the man page tells me nothing about configuring of it, I'm going to plead my case here.

That system is: Pentium-90; 16 Mb RAM; 256K cache CAF Tech motherboard / SiS chipset / Award 4.50G BIOS PCI IDE - boot disk NCR 8150S PCI SCSI - Toshiba 3501 CDROM, Exabyte EXB-8200 8mm drive ATI Mach64 (2Mb)/17" display Sound Blaster AWE32 floppy/2S/1P/game card one 3.5" floppy drive; no 5.25" floppy drive I've tried using both RAWRITE & RAWRITE3 from the tools/dos-tools directory to put a gunzip'd boot.flp.gz onto a 3.5" diskette, then boot from that. My first attempt (with RAWRITE) ended up having my boot process completely ignore the inserted diskette. My 2nd & 3rd attempts using RAWRITE3 ended up just sitting there spinning the diskette drive for a while with no output to my screen before I came back and tried CTRL-ALT-DEL with no results and the RESET button. I then pulled the boot floppy out. The reboot sequence got to the point where I think it normally scans the system & spits out the Award BIOS banner and just hung. I power cycled and got the same hang. I then turned the system off for a while and turned it back on - it came up fine. After all that, I repeated the same business with a the 950210-SNAP boot.flp and got the same results. Possible explanations? 1) Do I really need a 1.2Mb 5.25" drive in order to use that boot.flp image? If so, what are the chances of getting a 1.4M 3.5" drive boot.flp image? It seems many systems are shipped without 5.25" drives these days. 2) Is there something about my machine configuration that is confusing the boot code? So, does anyone have any idea 1) what I'm doing wrong? 2) how I can do it right? 3) what the heck is happening here? 4) has anyone successfully booted the SNAPs using the supplied boot.flp on a 1.4M 3.5" drive? help?

SATAN looks a lot better on a color display. - Run the "reconfig" script. It will patch some scripts with the pathnames of your PERL 5 executable, and of your WWW browser. If SATAN does not find the WWW browser that you want to use, edit the config/paths.pl file and change the line "$MOSAIC = [...]" to be whatever browser you prefer (make sure to preserve the quotations marks and punctuation of the line.) - Run the "make" command. It will build a few auxiliary programs. - Run the "satan" script. When run without arguments, it will start up a WWW browser. The command-line interface is described in the satan.8 manual page ("nroff -man" format). - Choose the `data management' link, and load the `foo.org' data base. It may take several tens of seconds to read all data from file. you will need a machine with lots of CPU (sparc5, indy, or better) and memory (32 MB or better). - Use your browser's PRINT button to print reports. Most documentation is accessible via your WWW browser. Enjoy. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Kaye | Northeastern Il.

As for what flaws satan showed on my: Only, had to upgrade sendmail on my system and that was it. (Although, I have FreeBSD-current's sources I have not done a make world ). The more secure sendmail is available in FreeBSD-current the one on FreeBSD-2.0 has a well known security hole. However, I did have problems with running satan on my system. My system, star-gate.com, is connected to the Net via ppp to best.com . When satan starts it tries to open a connection to my system : star-gate.com:1175 or something like that and it hangs... As a quick work around , I named my system localhost and after satan had started , I selected target system. At this point I switch over to my registered name star-gate.com and everything seems to work afterwards. Now the good news is that linux is not capable of running satan at least thats what the release note on satan said and there was a "make freebsd " in the distribution :) Cheers, Amancio From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 6 02:47:29 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id CAA21454 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 02:47:29 -0700 Received: from mail.euronet.nl (mail.euronet.nl [193.67.112.150]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id CAA21448 for ; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 02:47:25 -0700 Received: from p78.euronet.nl (p78.euronet.nl [193.67.112.238]) by mail.euronet.nl (8.6.4.1/A/UX 3.1) with SMTP id LAA11213 for ; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 11:47:12 +0200 Date: Thu, 6 Apr 1995 11:47:12 +0200 Message-Id: <199504060947.LAA11213@mail.euronet.nl> X-Sender: jg@mail.euronet.nl Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@FreeBSD.org From: jg@euronet.nl (Jan_Guldemond) Subject: 950322-SNAP problems X-Mailer: Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have some problems (again). Perhaps I've asked some questions in this list that might look stupid to you, but I'm just starting with a UNIX system.

But when booting the system (with the new kernel) I get some messages I do not quite understand: after the normal messages about detected hardware etc.: /dev/rsd0g: clean, 290049 free (65 frags, 36248 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) system logger syslogd: bind: Can't assign requested address ed1: flags=8863 mtu 1500 inet 193.78.175.65 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 193.78.175.127 ether 08:00:00:19:67:32 add net 193.78.175.128: gateway 193.78.175.66 starting network daemons: portmap routed namedApr 6 11:37:11 named[51]: starting. named LOCAL-950323.062429 Thu Mar 23 06:24:29 1995 proot@time.cdrom.com:/usr/src/usr.sbin/named Apr 6 11:37:11 named[52]: Ready to answer queries. sendmailApr 6 11:37:11 named[52]: sysquery: sendto([192.36.148.17].53): No route to host httpd pppd inetd. ** Begin system maintainance tasks ** I have some questions about this boot: * what does syslogd mean by cannot assign requested address?? Is this serious? * Why does named give all these messages. When named runs on the other machine (950202-SNAP) I get no messages at all... * Why does named want to contact 192.36.148.17. This host is in the init-cache file for named, but why contact it? It's correct that there is no route because the connection to Internet isn't there (yet). When I look at ps agx I can see that syslogd is NOT running. So this is probably why the messages from named are dumped on the screen, not? I think that syslogd didn't start because of the cannot assign address-message.. But what does this message mean and how can I prevent it?? HELP. I have to get the server running ASAP because our Internet-provider has the leased line ready to the Internet and I have to test it!!! Bye! and thanks for the answers (again). I know I have asked a lot of questions but perhaps in a while I can get of your back and answer some questions in the mailinglists myself.....

The machine has to run ppp for this line. Here's what I've done: made the /etc/ppp/options file: crtscts defaultroute lock passive I've set up the modem for a two-wire leased line and async operation. But when the system boots pppd is started and I can see the DTR-light on the modem. The modem goes off hook and sends the handshake. But then I see the TXD-light flash and the modem goes on hook imediately. After appr. 15 secs it goes off hook again and handshakes but then again: TXD and on-hook. After three times the modem tries again and goes on handshaking. But now no more TXD lights, and so it doesn't go on-hook again. Great, not? no NOT! I get the message from pppd: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests. My question is: how can I configure pppd for leased-line operation. I've read all the docs but don't seem to get it. I don't want any timeouts with the requests: just keep trying!! It's a leased line it will connect eventually (i hope :-) If anyone knows how to configure pppd for leased-line or have any experience with this please let me know!! Bye!

There are two main causes of SIGBUS. The first is a i386 general protection fault and the second is a page protection fault (such as writing to a read only part of memory). In the Wine case, I suspect the former. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 6 07:10:21 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id HAA27589 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 07:10:21 -0700 Received: from copper.cmp.com (copper.cmp.com [198.80.26.247]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id HAA27581 for ; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 07:10:16 -0700 Received: from mailgate.cmp.com ([198.80.26.5]) by copper.cmp.com with SMTP (1.37.109.14/16.2) id AA122647419; Thu, 6 Apr 1995 10:10:19 -0400 Received: by mailgate.cmp.com with Microsoft Mail id <2F842043@mailgate.cmp.com>; Thu, 06 Apr 95 10:09:23 PDT From: Plyaskin Sergey To: "'.freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: 950322 Installation questions Date: Thu, 06 Apr 95 10:04:00 PDT Message-Id: <2F842043@mailgate.cmp.com> Encoding: 29 TEXT X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail V3.0 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've just installed 950322-SNAP on the 486DX33 PC with 16MB or RAM. I used the standard installation procedure to install the kernel from floppies and the bin distribution via FTP from local machine running FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE. I have noticed a couple of strange things. 1. Although I answered all questions about IP address, host name, domain, default gateway and the name server, /etc/sysconfig file appeared unmodified after installation. The system was unable to determine the host name. It found the IP address and netmask though, since they are specified in /etc/hostname.ed0 file (correct me if I'm wrong). After all, I just sat and edited /etc/sysconfig manually. 2. If I do not create the separate partition for /var using disklabel, it is not being created, and several processes including sendmail, complain about that. I created the partition, and manually created /var/spool/mqueue. I have not tested sendmail yet so I'm not sure if this works. 3. After all these modifications, system still complains about being unable to bind to some name in the beginning of the netstart process. I have no clue what the hell this about. I have not seen all these problems when using 950202-SNAP. Can someone enlighten me somehow about this. What's wrong? Otherwise I'm really happy with FreeBSD. Great job, guys. Thanks.

I thought zircom was one of those companies that you have tor pry programming information from their cold, dead fingers? I think there is a packet driver, but I don't know if sources are available or not. If there is a Linux driver, you could port it, but unless you got the licensing changed or unless it was loadable as a module and under LGPL instead of GPL (loading kernel modules satisfies the link requirements), it would be something you'd have to maintain and distribute seperately.

I just upgraded my 486/50DX2 by adding another 16 MB of RAM to it for a total of 20 MB. I also upgraded the tag and cache ram (to 16K and 256K respectively). All of the memory tests are OK with the toy memory check programs, but when I run FreeBSD2.0 (the ultimate memory checker), I get unrepeatable, bizarre errors like programs failing to compile that have always compiled in the past, tcsh dumping core for no reason, X just freezing up, etc. Odd thing is, if I take out 4MB to decrease the total system DRAM down to 16MB, everything seems fine. Now, I seem to remember someone far more knowledgable than me (Terry? Jordan? Garrett?) talking about some older ISA boards (like mine) that had cache coherency problems or something like that when more than 16 MB was added. Am I right in this one? Is there a way to test for this problem, short of having unrepeatable errors all the time? I'd kinda like to know so I can return the memory or just learn to live with only (!) 16MB of RAM.

A kernel question for you.... I just posted to a couple of BSD newsgroups and one Linux group about the IPFW code in the kernel. Mainly, before I bug you with a litany of questios I am curious if there is documentation somewhere.... If so, where ? And how complete is it ? I am not a kernel hack, so the source helps but not completely. Secondly, if there is no doc on this particular subject, could you fill me in on a couple of things... 1) Where does IPFW log data ? How is it configured ? 2) How does one configure firewalling in the kernel (to accept or reject packets from a particular location, etc). 3) Would TCP wrappers, i.e., Venema's package, complement the aforementioned features ? If you can point me to some docs, and that would be easier than explaining, please feel free. On the other hand, if there are no docs. I would be interested in putting some together, since I think there is a need.... Also, please DO NOT reply to the address in the header.

The server side is FreeBSD2.0, and the client is Snap950210. It seems that sending something (like hitting CR in a telnet session) causes it to stop waiting. It also seems like only things that send a large amount of data in a stream trigger the problem. I can run x clients with very little delays, for example. I haven't tried ftp'ing a file to /dev/null either. There may be something lost somewhere when the disk is writing. I have tried going at 14.4K, turning off compression, etc... and it does the same thing. And I escape the ^S / ^Q and the telnet escape character too.

After that it just keeps rebooting itself." I ran into this when I was installing the OS on a SCSI disk #1, where I had a Western Digital controller and a WD #0 already installed, running MS-DOS. Not sure where the conflict came from but in retrospect I think it was the /etc/fstab, which probably had entries for "sd0" instead of "sd1". ( This problem is discussed in the FAQs somewhere proximate to references to the necessity of having to use the boot string hd(1,a)/kernel, under certain circumstances. Note that this may not be the same problem you're having. ) Summary : don't know if you have more than one disk in your system or on the controller in question ( people often leave out these seemingly irrelevant details, understandably, so I'm extrapolating, a little, here ). But, if you can get the system into single-user with a boot diskette, try using fsck on 'a' partitions ( wd0a, wd1a ), mounting them on a /mnt directory, and taking a look at what's been installed in your /etc/fstab ( /mnt/etc/fstab ). It's possible that judiciously editing this might be sufficient to fix your installation and make it usable. ( And, is 'ed' on the fixit diskette ? I think not. dump(8) and tar(1) would also be useful ... ) Almost certainly, the message you are seeing is caused by the kernel trying to mount a device that does not exist on your bus ( FreeBSD installation is lacking robustness where installing in anything but a vanilla system is con- -cerned ; this is fairly common in the industry, however, and not unique to FreeBSD in any way, shape or form. ) -- richard Truth : the most deadly weapon known to civilization.

I usually don't make it a separate partition, but I suppose you could, by creating a new partition for it and mounting it. As the directory's name suggests, it's either a subdirectory of / (root) or its mounted onto /. Most likely, this means you selected the smallest root size, and your root filled up because too much stuff was being put into /tmp. I'm not sure for pkg_add, but in general the assignment of the temporary storage directory defaults to /tmp but may be changed by setting the shell variable TMPDIR. If I need more than I've allocated, I always have a /usr/tmp, my /usr is a separate partition from the / partition (and much larger) so I set TMPDIR to point to /usr/tmp.

If I can aid in the encouragement of one of your ambitious developers to finish a PCI 2940W SCSI controller patch with a monetary contribution, please let me know. If such a driver is already finished by the time you read this could you please inform the 2940W users where this driver can be found. I've only seen one alpha version of a 2940 driver on a Calgary site that was not quite functional yet (at least not on my setup). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Who else besides you should I enform? :) Anyway, you should try the 950322-SNAP on ftp.cdrom.com (/pub/FreeBSD/950322-SNAP/floppies/boot.flp) and see if it works for you. The current driver has seen many revisions since that floppy was generated. I plan on releasing an interrum floppy sometime later tonight with an updated kernel. It should be availible in the 950322-SNAP/floppies/newer directory when I'm done. The FreeBSD driver uses an enhanced version of the sequencer code that was developed by John Aycock in the Linux camp. My changes are filtering into the Linux kernel too, but an official release of their new driver is not due for a week or so. If your chosen operating system turns out to be FreeBSD (and I hope it does :), I'm the person you should contact if you experience any troubles getting your Adaptec card to work. > >I've only seen one alpha version of a 2940 driver on a Calgary site that was >not quite >functional yet (at least not on my setup).

It's an inherent TIN problem and has nothing to do with FreeBSD.
