If you are not set-up for cvsup, I might be able to check out a kernel for you (this is not something that I normally do, but you seem to be fairly persitent :-), and I appreciate that.) I have fixed numerous problems in the last few days. There are one or two minor ones that I am about to commit. Hows about you grabbing the current sources as of noon today (approx 9 Hrs.)

Did you go through the usual PCI BIOS setup gyrations? Certainly did, tried disabling PCI auto "stealing" of IRQ's (espec. No. 10) and tried everything I could find in the BIOS config. instructions. It just didn't want to play ball - on boot the computer couldn't see the 3c509.

After getting errors installing cvsup I decided to do an upgrade from 2.2.2-R to 2.2.5-R using sysinstall. However, I ran it from /stand in multi-user mode as opposed to either using the boot floppy or (I assume this would work?) /stand/sysinstall in single user mode. Anyway, I started getting weird error messages from sendmail (forgot to shut it down) and decided to quit and restore from backups. Problem with that was the backup was no good. :( The last good one was a couple weeks old. This did not seem much of a problem, I'd backed up /etc manually in a couple places, and /usr was intact, so I restored from the old tar file the files in root, /dev /bin, /lkm. But I could *not* log on! Users seemed to still be there but with the wrong passwords. I restored master.passwd from /var/backups and still had trouble. One or two users could log on, but a couple others couldn't! IIRC the username length changes from 2.2.2-R to 2.2.5-R? Is this causing the passwords to mess up? I assume some binaries were replaced with 2.2.5 versions and I didn't restore them? Which ones? Any suggestions on how to proceed? I'm thinking I'll use sysinstall from the boot floppy after restoring the system's group and master.passwd files (again) and proceed from there. Help and/or advice would be greatfully appreciated!

Your vx0 interface is brought "up" properly and has the correct IP assigned to it (in rc.conf). If your ISP uses DHCP, you'll need to get the WIDE-DHCP or ISC DHCP clients. 2.

Welcome to unix. :) I don't mean to be glib, but that's just how things are sometimes. I believe this error means that there is no /dev/wcd0c file. Double check that and if it doesn't exist, as root do: cd /dev /bin/sh MAKEDEV wcd0c You might also want to 'chmod o+r wcd0c' if you'd prefer not to have to root yourself to run cd's, and your box is secure. All that being said, I'm not familiar with xcdplayer so that may not actually be your problem. If that doesn't do it for you, try http://www.freebsd.org/search.html and give -questions a look.

You can do it with `ppp' - I don't think `pppd' can do dynamic IP allocation.

If you're currently running 2.2.5 or earlier, the answer is "/src". That's about 250 MB. You need to completely rebuild the system. Check out http://www.lemis.com/staying-current or chapter 17 of "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition (http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm) for more details. If you have the 2.2.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, you have the repository on CD-ROM 3. You can use that as a start and upgrade from there, which makes a lot less to transfer. > I need to make the CDROM work and fast! Don't count on -CURRENT being your way to that.

Yep, I got this idea too, but grep -i vm86 /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/* didn´t give anything, not even in LINT, so I didn´t think this option was an option...

Got everything except the sources and it worked ok but it was using the old kernel. To build a new one I decide to get the new sources using postconfigure in sysinstall--just the sources--and after a short time lost all passwords again. I'm assuming the binaries that came with 'em hosed the system again??? I really don't understand what's going on. Anyway, I'm going to restore and upgrade again just to get the system stable and working for tomorrow. I'm really sick of this socalled "upgrade". I think the best bet is to backup and just do a completely clean install and then reconfigure. Or probably better to use cvsup, but as I mentioned I had problems with that.

I realize that there are situations where rm does override permissions, but it seems to me that if it can't override the permissions anyway, the two checks are superfluous. Is there some reason that rm wouldn't do the "absolute" check before it asks if I want to override the perms?

I tried configuring /,/var,/var/local,/tmp,swap,/usr,/usr/local, and /home on my 4 gig drive and the label editor put a X over the last slice. It couldnt newfs it, and when the install was done and I rebooted, that slice could not be used. I tried to nuke /usr/local as it was sd0s1h and the last slice I made and tried to make it use the remainder of the disk but the label editor said "Unable to create the partition. Too big?" I suppose one could create 2 dos-speak partitions but that would require me to reinstall and I was hoping there was a way around that. Thanks for any help. Please reply to my email address.

Go to /usr/X11/bin and run XF86Setup and go through the steps, it sure beats xf86config. Don't worry about the high resolution, start from a working screen and as you experiences grow you'll be able to manually modify the /etc/XF86Config file. Good luck.

You need to completely rebuild the system. I believe that approach will demote my system from 2.2-stable to 2.2.whatever-current. I checked the mailing list and some said their GoldStar worked with 2.2.x and some said otherwise. I had been using Matcd driver until I inherited a 85% new system from a friend (with another 6X Goldstar CDROM -- I had one before which never worked under 2.1.5). I am not sure if the drive is PNP or non-PNP. Anyways, I was just guessing -current provides newer drivers. Just curious about incorperating new drivers into existing code: how'd you guys do it without a patch code? I mean, I would assume many files are involved (in addition to atapi.c, atapi.h, wcd.c, etc.) I am connecting the drive to the master of WDC1 if that helps.

I'm unsuccessfully trying to install mysql from the latest ports. It stops with an error in libmysql.c. The same software compiles and works on 2.2.5-stable. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to upgrade the first machine to 2.2.x soon. Is it possible to run mysql with 2.1.x?

When I upgraded my hard drive a while back, I already partitioned my hard drive. There is a limitation with DOS, that it will only allow 2.1GB per partition. So I partitioned my C drive for 2.1GB, and a D drive for 500MB. (I bought a 2.6GB hard drive). Now I want to install FreeBSD on the D drive, but I cannot lose the data on the C drive. When I got to the partition question I was lost. I don't know what sectors go where, and what partition type they are. Is there a quick and easy way to discern how I would go about installing FreeBSD onto the 500MB D drive? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Don't worry about them unless you happen to run one of the contested applications, which you probably don't since the conflicts are between deprecated apps and modern apps (most of the time).

With the 2.1.6 everything went alright! Thanks! The system is confused about what disk is where. Make sure sd1 is the disk where the system boot files are located. If they aren't, twiddle the SCSI IDs as necessary to boot the system, then build a new kernel and wire down the SCSI IDs to devices. See LINT for instructions.

PCI cards should be self-configuring. if it's not picked up automatically chances are it's not supported or we need to teach an existing driver the Linksys card's vendor and device IDs.

Just pop in the CD and run `fbsdboot' off of the CD. You can also boot the CD directly if your BIOS supports it.

Although I don't claim to be a NIS expert, I'm under the impression that `slave' servers are defined by the client using ypset -S. Slaves can act like DNS secondaries and ypbind to the master server to grab data, though. I'm hoping you found the yp and ypserv man pages by now.

So unless you *have* to do this because you have a stupid hub, you really don't want to. Besides, FreeBSD doesn't support 100Mbit ISA cards, AFAIK.

Be sure to get a board that can cache more than 64MB of RAM, which is rare in P5 boards, ESPECIALLY Intel Chipsets! I have a FIC PA2007, which does just about everything you would want in a P5 board, except AGP. I purchased the 1MB board from Leapfrog Labs for less than $100 I think. Another choice if you don't need SDRAM would be a board based on the Intel HX, but good luck finding a non-dual board that supports this.

My name is Benn Sugden, I am from Bond University - Gold Coast, Australia. I am Vice president of the student association for informatioon technology. Now taht we have met here we go then. We have just set up a FreeBSD server that is actually owned by the ITSA. We are running 2.2.2 release. I have 2 questions to ask of you and I would be very please if you would give them some though. 1. Front page server extension for apache - we do I get them and how are they installed. 2. Would FreeBSD.org be interested in having a certain kind of industry relation with the IT students at Bond University. I believe that students can benefit from having some sort of an arrangement with your organisation and you can benefit from our graduates, student knowledge etc. Basically I believe an industry arrangement would be mutually beneficial. We currently work closely with services at Bond and support several admin tasks. Also we have industry relations with Apple and Microsoft (big deal I hear you say - well me too but it's a start I guess) Thank you for your time and I hope to hear you thoughts on this... Thanks again. ********************************************************************* Benn Sugden The probability of one VP ITSA being watched is directly email: bsugden@surf.bond.edu.au proportional to the Ph: 55 953 389 stupidity of one's actions... ********************************************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 9 01:47:13 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA07955 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 01:47:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from luke.cpl.net (luke.cpl.net [209.150.92.68]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA07906 for ; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 01:47:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from shawn@luke.cpl.net) Received: from localhost (shawn@localhost) by luke.cpl.net (8.8.8/8.6.12) with SMTP id BAA00589; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 01:46:05 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1998 01:46:05 -0800 (PST) From: Shawn Ramsey cc: Scott Myron , "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org" Subject: Re: land patches...

The version in -stable, however, does. Questions: Would anyone have any idea how to go about porting the -stable driver to -current? How would I start enabling diagnostics in the -current de driver in order to find out why it isn't working (and the -stable one is). Then again, as quite a few things have changed between -stable and -current in the surrounding environment (the -stable driver gives a bunch of errors), the problem may not be in the driver per se :-/ I'd really like to get this to work so I can ditch Windows :-) Thanks, -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ "Reliability means never _/ _/ _/ having to say you're sorry." _/ _/_/_/ -- D.

We have it running vanilla under 2.2.5 and linux emu without a problem. The problem we are having is compiling a MOD under the linux devel port and getting constant core dumps.

Doug, I am unable to find it on my -stable machine -- is this a -current feature? (apropos/man gladly talk about rc scripts, but no rc driver for riscom cards.

I may be being stupid here, but would appreciate a hint :) Robert N Watson Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cmu.edu/ SafePort Network Services http://www.safeport.com/ robert@fledge.watson.org http://www.watson.org/~robert/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 9 06:21:00 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA18355 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 06:21:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from stern.buffalostate.edu (hummel@stern.buffalostate.edu [136.183.7.43]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA18304 for ; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 06:20:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from hummel@stern.buffalostate.edu) Received: from localhost (hummel@localhost) by stern.buffalostate.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id JAA20303; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 09:21:17 -0500 Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1998 09:21:17 -0500 (EST) From: Dave Hummel To: nik@iii.co.uk cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: problems w/ installworld -stable In-Reply-To: <19980309140329.52221@iii.co.uk> 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 Mon, 9 Mar 1998 nik@iii.co.uk wrote: > On Mon, Mar 09, 1998 at 08:51:28AM -0500, Dave Hummel wrote: > > I guess the first thing is this: > > per the tutorial, for the first time ever I did: > > # cd /usr/obj > > # chflags -R noschg * > > # rm -rf * > > which caused everything to build in /usr/src. > > ? > > Which version of FreeBSD are you trying to build? > > That's how I normally start my builds, and /usr/obj is created as > necessary. > > I don't suppose you're doing something with the NOOBJDIR flag and/or > environment variable are you? > > N > -- > Work: nik@iii.co.uk | FreeBSD + Perl + Apache > Rest: nik@nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk | Remind me again why we need > Play: nik@freebsd.org | Microsoft? > Nope, I didn't mess with NOOBJDIR.

I wanted to see how it say my CD-Changer I just acquired. I know, I didn't make world, I just wanted to see what came up. I got something I didn't expect. wd0a is /, wd0s3e is /usr, swap and such are on sd0[...]. I got a 'changing root device to wd0s3' and then It told me that 'mounted filesystem doesn't match (needed or somesuch)' It dumps me to sh where / (wd0a) is mounted ro as root_device and I can mount the other filesystems rw to /mnt, /mnt2, etc. Returning to kernel.orig makes it all better. My concern is that if I make world I may end up in this same state. BTW, I'm 2.2.5, P150, 32MB, wd0 on wdc0, sd0 on ahc0, wcd0 on wdc1. Thoughts?

Well, I would bet that it means (surprise) that the DHCP address pool has been exhausted. You need to shorten the lease duration on your server so that addresses are recycled faster. Check permission on the DHCP-related items, to make sure it can write the database okay. In the meantime you are SOL unless you can explicitly expire addresses you know are unused.

It's possible that the server is down or no longer recognises my password, so guesses aren't much help. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 9 10:30:49 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA27470 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 10:30:49 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from dns.pinpt.com (dns.pinpt.com [205.179.195.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA27370; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 10:30:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from schluntz@clicknet.com) Received: from clicknet.com (gatemaster.pinpt.com [205.179.195.65]) by dns.pinpt.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA24888; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 10:22:20 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <350434A8.8C289C3E@clicknet.com> Date: Mon, 09 Mar 1998 10:27:52 -0800 From: "Sean J.

No errors reported. dhclient-script does not get run directly, it is called by dhclient. > 2) the dhclient.conf file does not exist. I copied the file from the > install directory and tried to manually change it, but I had no real success.. Aside from some rather obvious changes (domain search) the example should work in most cases. Make sure you have dhclient starting up at boot time and have dhclient-script and dhclient.conf in /etc Holler if you have more specific questions.

Hmmmm....don't recall seeing the ALT-F2 option doc'd anywhere in the install docs I read; or the fact that on a comm error [crc errors during ftp, in my case] a 3-finger-salute will allow restart of the ftp at point of failure. I like this, but wish it had been more obvious in the general html docs, manual, or FAQ. [or did I brain-lock, and look right past this info??]. I'd swear I read and searched the FreeBSD site every-which-way. :<( The above led me to fix my freeze-up problem.

Date: Mon, 09 Mar 1998 14:09:43 -0500 From: Brian McGovern Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm looking at pulling down the proper CVS repository for the 3.x development tree. I grabbed the cvs files from the last snap on ftp.freebsd.org, and its virtually the same as the one that came with the 2.2.5-RELEASE. I'm curious if this is the correct cvsup file, as I don't see any rtags for the 3.x development branch... The reason I'm looking for it is that I am in the process of merging some of my own code with a 'standard' release, so I can cut some custom releases for local use (ie - one with DHCP on the boot floppy, one with my own driver built-in, etc). If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 9 11:23:00 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA10675 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 11:23:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA10556 for ; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 11:22:32 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id LAA05146; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 11:22:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1998 11:22:21 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Hrvoje Husic cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Bug in the process-scheduler & niceness of 20?

Process priority in FreeBSD is two-dimensional: there are three main queues, realtime, normal, and idle. Realtime processes will never be preempted except by a process with higher priority, an idle processes will never run unless there are no processes ready to run in the realtime or normal queues. See idprio(8) for info. Niceness controls scheduling within in each queue.

Quite honestly, that's about the only time the machines I'm responsible for get updated. But it's also critical that those changes go in. I see no real reason that this change *needs* to be in -stable. Maybe release it as a set of patches that you can apply, but it should stay in -current (if it's there, I'd have to look at my home machine's freebsd installation to see what the fstab looks like).

Qualix and Digital have been the only two commercially available products that I have found to do this, but Qualix's and Digital's product supports only HP-UX & AIX, and Digital's version of UNIX as well. I have found some products that support Solaris on top of this, but nothing that will support FreeBSD. Do you know of any product that is available for synchronous mirroring for FreeBSD? A major plus would be the cost as well. Qualix's DataStar sells for around $20,000 per server pair. Thanks for any help you can give! Sincerely, A.J.

Of course it's something that's been there all along, but it's new to me. :) In /etc/rc.network there are hooks at the beginning of the file to run scripts of the format /etc/start_if.${ifn} where $ifn is an interface number defined in "network_interfaces" in /etc/rc.conf. So, I put the following script in /etc/start_if.ep0: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/dhclient ep0 This way I can use the "normal" network configuration options in /etc/rc.conf and not have to modify rc.network or rc.local for standard items. I do have a patch for the script that allows you to set your hostname from dhcp if you need to. Mail me privately if you need it.

But we're just starting to discuss the concept on the -hackers list. There's a chance that you'll see it in the not-too-distant future.

I've got an older mitsumi drive, so I'm trying to install freebsd from a dos partition. I used xcopy32 d: c:\freebsd /s to copy the entire cd to the HDD, and then ran the install.bat to boot. Then I fiddled with the kernel config until I had no conflicts, even though that meant I couldn't use my ps/2 mouse because of console commander or whatever that thing is under input (I disabled it and enabled my ps2 mouse, and the machine froze and just clicked for 3 hours!!!). Then I went through novice installation, discovering too late that a freebsd type 165 partition couldn't be very much more than 500MB's although I'd prefer a 100% freebsd box, and had to format, re-install DOS, and make the attempt again, using fips to restrict my freebsd parition to 498.4MB. When I setup my /usr, /var, and / partitions, everything was fine, and when I selected my installation media as a dos paritition everything was fine...but when I tried to install the packages, it couldn't find anything and complained about packages/INDEX, which I couldn't find anywhere on the CD. What's up? BTW, my cd is from UNIX Unleashed, Sysadmin's Edition from Sams Publishing...I planned to try freebsd and if I liked it, drop slackware and buy a real freebsd cd.

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 I have done this once before, but lost Atipa's original post. Through Doug White's magic, though, I can make a decent reply. A slave server is started up by configuring the rc.conf pretty much as one configures the master server. However, the maps on the slave must be manually transferred over the first time the slave is set up. I use a script something like this (soft returns where appropriate): #!/bin/sh for i in group.bygid netid.byname protocols.bynumber group.byname networks.byaddr rpc.byname hosts.byaddr networks.byname rpc.bynumber hosts.byname passwd.byname services.byname master.passwd.byname passwd.byuid ypservers master.passwd.byuid protocols.byname do echo $i /usr/libexec/ypxfr -d mydomain -h mymaster.dom.com -s mydomain $i done This is run on the slave. Of course, on the master, the ypservers file in /var/yp should know about the slave server. Generally, you need an NIS server on each network. Since NIS clients bind using broadcasts, they won't cross networks. Generally a slave server also has itself as a client. Credit for all of my words really goes to Bill Paul, who sent me an informative message when I was starting out with NIS. Now I return the favor to everyone else. :-) A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers font to be sent to beneficiaries and senders of UCE/SPAM. @ mcs.net Wishes are like dishes.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I seem to recall (probably in one of Doug White's messages) hearing that the "a" flag to dump (use end-of-media indication for tape changes) may not have been working properly for some version of FreeBSD. Having just written a long dump and gotten a write error on an almost-new tape, I think this may be happening to me, but I want to make sure that it is or isn't before doing a hardware inspection. I'm running 2.2.5-R on a Pentium 120, AHA-2940UW, and WangDAT 3400DX, with 90 m DAT tapes. When I write many partitions to the tape with "dump 0auf /dev/nrst0 /mymountpoint", I get a tape write error about 2 gigabytes into the tape. If the a flag is currently broken, then I may repartition new systems to not have partitions greater than 2 gigabytes, or maybe I should just start specifying the length for dump, too. Hmm. If this is fixed in STABLE, I'd love to test it out, if anyone knows the status (if it is a bug, and not just me). dw A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers font to be sent to beneficiaries and senders of UCE/SPAM. @ mcs.net Wishes are like dishes.

I have a DK440LX, 333MHz PII, Seagate 9 GB UW SCSI Cheetah (still waiting for the *$#@% CD ROM to show up), 128 MB RAM, No 9 I-128 series 2 video board (8 MB) Using the CAM boot image Andrzej Bialecki put in /incomming, I was able to install. Using said kernel, I can run, if I give it the -a option. When I attempt to build a kernel, I get a Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode. NB: I am using the -current as of 9 march, and the CAM snapshot that was just uploaded (but the earlier version generated the same results). In a fit of desperation, I tried a make world, on the off chance that perhaps something got hosed in the initial install.

Clearly, I have a kernel that works, although not optimally (requires manual intervention to boot), so it is possible to make a kernel that works on this system. Anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong? On the off chance that this is a bug in -current, what can I do to help resolve it? Any other suggestions?

When I try to open the folder I get a username/password challenge dialog box (my username and password are the same on both ends) and after manually entering the same information I am told I cannot access my folder from this station.

BTW...the ftp finally did complete after a number of stalls on crc errors. But, I'm wondering if I should take another run at it and try going [A]ll BSD again for partitioning. My gut tells me a dedicated machine should most likely be less troublesome if the OS has the whole box. The docs and Help screens seem to suggest this may not be the case with FreeBSD -- i.e., that it may not care. Recommendation????

Read the man page for ``cc'', and try: g++ -c file1.C g++ -c file2.C g++ -c file3.C g++ -o my-first-prog file1.o file2.o file3.o ./my-first-prog Without the ``-c'' option, you are telling g++ to compile *and link*. What you probably want to do is compile each source file separately. You do this using ``g++ -c ...''. This creates an *object* file for each source file. When you've got each source file compiled and have the corresponding object file, you then link the object files together and create the final executable program file. > What I have tried: > > 1.

I set up a caching only nameserver and all is well when the ppp connection is up. However, once an IP address is stored in cache and if the ppp connection is down, any service requests (ftp, pop3, etc.) to a cached IP address will timeout. It will go fine if the connection is already up. I did not see this without the caching only nameserver so my theory is that if a DNS lookup does not trigger a dial out then the service connection will timeout. I realize that this is hard to explain so I hope the above makes sense. Is there a way to have a cahing only nameserver and dial on demand without getting service connection timeouts?

Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 12:38:54 -0500 From: Brian McGovern Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG What I'm trying to do (aka - the Grand Scheme): - Take a snapshot of 2.2.5-STABLE. - Make some local changes (ie - add a couple of device drivers, make changes to the default kernel to use them (both on install and on the boot floppy), remove extra hatdware configs, play with rc.conf so it has some local values pre-coded, etc) - Do a make release, hopefully generating something that can be used to replace my 2.2.5 CD on my network server. What I have done so far (aka - Why I've had no sleep) - Pulled down the current CVS repository (via cvsup with /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile. - Fired off a test make release on another machine, to see what gotcha's I might run in to. I now know a lot more... What I plan to do (aka - Heres where I screw up) - I want to cvs co -r RELENG_2_2 (which doesn't seem to be working) to get the latest stable code from the CVS archive (for 2.2.5) - I want to then make my changes - I want to cvs commit everything, then rtag it with REL225_BJM - I want to go to /usr/src/release, and make release, specifying the REL225_BJM to RELEASETAG, plus other reasonable values Now, the question. Is this a reasonable thing to do? Or, am I doing something blatently stupid that I don't get because I'm not quite sure what I'm doing? Also, will this procedure work to get a 3.0 release if I just drop the release tag, and use the head of the CVS repository instead?

X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.54) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG dear sir: I'm a new comer of freebsd, before this, I workded with linux for a long time. Now I have a network problem about upload/download speed on my machine. It's a regular pc with IDE HD and 10Mb ISA NE2000 compatible card. The system is installed in the 'normal' configuration, becsuse I knew little about this OS. It worked fine, but just a little 'slow'. And here is what I found when ftp to/from a remote unix host: -- Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> mput *dbf ^^^^^^^^^upload files to remote host mput ph0026.dbf? y 200 PORT command successful. 150 Binary data connection for ph0026.dbf (203.70.70.14,40012). 226 Transfer complete. 11780736 bytes sent in 29.51 seconds (389.89 Kbytes/s) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^it's slow! ftp> mget *dbf ^^^^^^^^^download from remote host mget ph0026.dbf? y 200 PORT command successful. 150 Binary data connection for ph0026.dbf (203.70.70.14,40014) (11780736 bytes). 226 Binary Transfer complete. 11780736 bytes received in 12.71 seconds (905.24 Kbytes/s) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^it's fast! -- I can't figure out the real reason, so please feel free to give me any info. I DO have try the same test on my old linux box, and it's too bad that everything was fine. I also tried this on a high-end server equipped qith SCSI HD and 100Mb network card, but the result is almost the same. what causes the in/out speed differ? I DO have no idea. Thanks for your help!

Last night I received help from Tom Dean (thanks Tom). That was the problem preventing it from compiling. There were other logic errors, which I have since solved and the program is behaving the way I intended it to. I did read the man page for GCC, but it was not clear in their documentation that I needed to separately compile each file with the -c switch and then link them in a separate step. I have now discovered why every single port comes with a makefile. Make should be everybody's best friend because once you setup a simple makefile everything can be handled in a single short commandline statement. I also looked at info for GCC. The information appeared to be the same as the man page. Anyway, it's time to move on to my next assignment. Thanks again for the help. - -burton- - --------------- Burton Sampley bsampley@best.com or bsampley@haywire.csuhayward.edu PGP key available at http://www.best.com/~bsampley/pgp.html On Tue, 10 Mar 1998, Dave Bodenstab wrote: > Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 09:57:17 -0600 (CST) > From: Dave Bodenstab > To: bsampley@best.com > Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: GCC + object oriented prgm & FBSD > > > From: Burton Sampley > > > > I need some help trying to compile my first object-oriented program using > > multiple files in C++ on FreeBSD.

Hmm. This is a known bug. Some tapes (and maybe controllers) return a read/write error at EOT instead of just an indication. Hopefully dump can be reprogrammed to take advantage of this. I'm trying to look at the open GNATS PRs, but you might submit one if there isn't one in there already.

Hm, checks out. Realize that s3mod wants a GUS to plug into, not a AWE32. That driver doesn't handle the EMU chip; you need the new sound driver to even access it.

Could you tell me how ? If you installed the port, then it will actually run itself on next bootup -- it drops a .sh script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ to run itself.

I keep getting the "Passwd Change Acknowledgement" reply but no change is made to the passwd. Looking through the script with my v. limited Expect knowledge, I figure the problem must lie in : spawn /bin/su $var(name) -c /bin/yppasswd $var(name) which I've changed to : spawn /usr/bin/su $var(name) -c /usr/bin/passwd $var(name) But this still doesn't work.

I notice in the freebsd.org archives that many people advised against using web pages for passwd update. the comments in this script suggest it's relatively secure but if anyone has encountered problems or found a better solution (we don't allow telnet to the machines hence the webpage approach), i'm all ears too. #!/usr/local/bin/expect # This is a CGI script to process requests created by the accompanying # passwd.html form.

I'm not sure which is the default for gcc (most likely 8). this means that when a structure doesn't have a multiple of 8 bytes, it is padded. If you have a large number of these padded structures, your sizeof() will be a lot larger than the hand calculated sizeof() the individual elements. -john --------------------- John A.

There isn't the concept of a modemdriver in FreeBSD, where the application sends a command, eg "Dial this number", and a driver in the kernel figures out which string to send. Each application talks directly with the modem. Generally, as long as you are talking just data, all modems which connects to a serial port, or looks like one to the OS are supported. Sometimes you have to modify the AT-strings, but the defaults usually works. Only if you are talking more sofisticated things like faxing or voicemail, things could get a little complicated. But then again, fax classes 2 and 2.0, which are fairly standard is supported.

What are those extra bytes and, if > possible, how do I get rid of them? Each CPU has differing requirements for accessing various types of data from memory. Some CPU's, for instance, requre that a 32-bit quantity be aligned on a 4-byte boundry in memory. Sometimes, even tho it's not required, an execution time penalty occurs when data is not on the proper alignement boundry. For the Intel x86 CPU's, there is no *requirement* that data be aligned, but there *is* a performance penalty -- programs run slower. So, GCC (the C compiler) makes sure that data is aligned on the proper boundry to avoid this penalty. So, if you declare a structure such as: struct bad { char a; long b; char c; long d; }; the memory occupied by that structure will be: a - 1 byte, offset 0 - 3 bytes padding b - 4 bytes, offset 4 c - 1 byte, offset 8 - 3 bytes padding d - 4 bytes, offset 12 The sum of the sizes of the individual data items is 10, but sizeof(struct bad) will be 16. A general way to minimize the padding is to order the items from largest to smallest. So, if you declared: struct good { long b; long d; char a; char c; }; then sizeof(struct good) would be 12. The extra 2 bytes are padding at the end of the structure so that each element of an array would still be aligned properly: struct good array[10]; sizeof(struct good) = 12 sizeof(array[0]) = 12 sizeof(array) = 120 A good C textbook should discuss this topic.

I have read some texts that say UN*X open() is not ANSI-C and to use fopen() is possible. Unfortunately every text I look in avoids concurrence like the plague and I cannot dig up much info on flock() (other than the man page). If flock() cannot be used with fopen(), then what do you use to lock a file opened with fopen()? Is there some reason to use fopen() over open() or vice/versa? Is there even any locking mechanisms in ANSI-C? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have a Cyclades card and the dial-up machine works as far as giving you a shell login and that is it. I am using mgetty 1.0.0 to spawn the cyclades devices Since I am extremely new at this I would like some help, any help...I have gotten nfo off the net for some of the setup but most of it is for Linux and I really don't like to do a half-assed job. If someone would oblige me I would like an http site that is tailored for FreeBSD (I already read the FreeBSD Handbook I don't think that it really helped) or a list of steps on how to make this blasted thing work.

Most of the times it hangs during a file transfer from the server with samba. (However after rebooting I can safely transfer as much files as I want...)

The CD-ROM is the 2.2.5 November 1997 release. I have an scsi CD-ROM, with a PCI Adaptec 2940UW controller. When I look at the log file using the ALT-F2 option, I see many errors like this: /stand/cpio:invalid header:checksum error warning skipped ____ bytes of junk Invalid file or directory I have a Quantum 4.x Gig drive, with the first partition 435 MB as my FreeBSD partition, well below the 1G limit. Partition Magic seems to confirm that BSD has got the correct physical Geometry 553/255/63 Then things seem to work it boots BSD, probes the devices, It says: changing root to sd1a unable to mount root: panic and the machine reboots. After trying to reinstall I get an error: unable to mount /mnt/dev/sd1s3f /mnt/usr sd1s13f exists in /dev but not /mnt/dev. But sd1f exists in /mnt/dev. Is there a way to install the whole system from the holographic shell? Then when makedev runs, it has a error, missing files, etc. What is my problem???

They are 160MB DCAS (data cassette) drives, and I have been using them successfully for years with DOS and BSD/OS, so I have lots of data stored on cassettes which I need to get access to. When I try to access the tapes, I get an "illegal request" message, plus an "oops not queued" when I try to read or write. Apparently there is a mechanism for defining device-specific parameters for these drives, as "quirks", but there are none defined for these drives. Also, I haven't found any clear guide for how to set one of these quirks entries up. The drive is a scsi-1, 512 byte fixed block, data cassette drive. I have the technical manuals, so I think I could put together whatever information is needed. I also have an mt-2st/f50, which is the 600 MB big brother--I haven't yet tried this with fbsd, but I will need to get it running as well.

FreeBSD has 32 bit device numbers (8 bits major, as before, and 24 bits minor). The devices mentioned are those whose first 16 bits are non-0. We can't change the tar format, because then it wouldn't be compatible, so the only thing it can do is to skip them. It's not too serious a problem: you can remake all these devices with /dev/MAKEDEV.

I currently have two Ports Terminals (100 modems), 3 FreeBSD machines (mail server, web server, dns server) and a CISCO router. The default gateway for the Ports Terminal are the router (I can't build my firewall on the router because we don't own it and we don't have access to it). If I change the default gateway of my port terminal to a FreeBSD machine, what supplementary hardware will I need and what are the configurations I'll have to change to make packets the are coming from the Ports Terminals go to the router...)? And will it slow the FreeBSD machine? Should I buy another computer to do just that? And will it slow the connection of my users? Thanks a lot!

I enabled the console mouse in rc.conf and have a console mouse but if i run X with it enabled I get "mouse not found" upon server start. can I have both? I also installed Netscape-communicator4 on this laptop which took alot of juggling to find enough disk space to install it. When i run netscape on it it seems to run VERY slow and the disk drive led lights up on every mouse movement and if I click something it takes a long time for the drive to stop running, like it is swapping heavily. the program top shows cpu ~30% usage and the swap partition is 26M and 60% is used. CPU is 486 DX 50 with cirrus gc6420 chip. is this normal? now can i speed it up so netscape can be used, its unuseable now (too slow). kf7nn@airmail.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 10 21:34:58 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA18998 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 21:34:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from tera.com (tera.tera.com [207.108.223.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA18984 for ; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 21:34:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kline@tao.thought.org) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by tera.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with UUCP id VAA29591 for questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 21:34:10 -0800 (PST) Received: (from kline@localhost) by tao.thought.org (8.8.5/8.7.3) id VAA01502 for questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 21:33:57 -0800 (PST) From: Gary Kline Message-Id: <199803110533.VAA01502@tao.thought.org> Subject: dev:: sio0 not found at 0x3f8 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 21:33:57 -0800 (PST) Organization: <> thought.org: public access uNix in service... <> X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL32 (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 Okay, it seems like two steps forward and three backwards.

I have 20MB RAM. The same ST9230AG disk, 200MB. I have the Ethernet adapter and a SCSI adapter. What version of FreeBSD did you install? I have not installed X11, yet. I am not sure, but, I think netscape needs more memory. Look at the options, and set all the memory requirements to minimum. This may allow netscape to run in a few MB. I plan to install X11 later this week. I will let you know what I find. I am getting tired of vi, wanting to use emacs. Did you run XF86Setup? Did it find the ps/2 mouse? Do you have the ps/2 mouse enabled? It is in the -current GENERIC kernel.

Yes, but this is not a Linux feature. You need to install the TCP Wrappers. It is in the ports collection. You will need to modify inetd.conf to use it. See the man page for tcpd.

All else is such an enormous security hole that you don't even want to think about it. BTW, the file names in question are lower case.

(Well I did not put the > repository there..) Ah ha. You're trying to check out the entire thing, which includes the ports collection. This is what I do: - I keep a copy of all the FreeBSD repositorys in /usr/local/cvs-reps/FreeBSD/ This means that I have the directories 'doc', 'src' and 'ports' under there. - When I checkout the source I # cd /usr/src # setenv CVSROOT /usr/local/cvs-reps/FreeBSD # cvs checkout -d . -r RELENG_2_2 src This checks out the src directory from the repository, and roots the files in the current directory (the '-d .' parameter). If I didn't do this then CVS would create a 'src' directory in the current directory, giving me "/usr/src/src/". - After I've run CVSup I can then # cd /usr/src # cvs update -Pd and it does the right thing. Let me know if that helps. N -- Work: nik@iii.co.uk | FreeBSD + Perl + Apache Rest: nik@nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk | Remind me again why we need Play: nik@freebsd.org | Microsoft?

If you *really* want to be able to login directly as root, you'll need to specify `secure' flag for each pseudo-tty line you use. This flag is set by default for virtual terminals.

You can 'make extract' in the ports directory to get it back if you erased it. Their page on it is: http://www.vix.com/hylafax/faxgateway.html In /etc/sendmail.cf, I added the following to Ruleset 0: # forward FAX messages to HylaFAX software R$+<@$+.FAX> $#fax $@ $2 $: $1 user@host.FAX And then in MAILER DEFINITIONS: Mfax, P=/usr/local/lib/fax/mailfax, F=DFMhu, S=14, R=24, M=100000, T=X-Phone/X-FAX/X-Unix, A=mailfax $u $h $f Make sure you restart sendmail to ensure it reads these changes. It works well, once you get it set up. If there are only a few people you want to fax to, or a fixed group, you can just make aliases for them: jan: "|/usr/local/bin/faxmail -d -n jan@9351748" and then run "newaliases". Patrick One note: I installed HylaFAX in /usr instead of /var becuase I needed the disk space /usr had to handle all the faxes I was sending (my max so far is about 4,500 in one day.) Another note: If you use HylaFAX to spam fax, you will be hated and hopefully banished. Fax spam is costly, and downright evil. DO *not* do it. People don't like to answer questions about it for this very reason. All the faxes I send are legitimate faxes. Don't ruin a good product by trying to make a buck dishonestly. 'Nuff said.

I just did a reinstall of FreeBSD 2.2.5 on Friday. I haven't been able to get X to work. I have spent inordinate time in /etc/XF86Config and decided to start anew. The reinstall worked. I got X working Friday night, mouse and all, and tried Enlightenment on my own account, FVWM2 on my root account, and all seemed cool. Sunday night I got back to the computer, without having used it in the interim (left it running, of course), and now startx, xinit, XF86Setup, and going to XF86Setup via /stand/sysinstall [both using existing /etc/XF86Config and not] all cause my machine to crash. I get a gray monitor, and then can do nothing. control-alt-backspace does nothing, and I end up having to do control-alt-delete to restart. My question: does anyone know why X worked initially and then went screwy? This happened with no further input from me after it was working. If I had been mucking about at all I would figure I had done something, but I had not been. Thanks. Chris Booth ___________________________ Christopher J.

And 1 with an Exabyte stacker on a Solaris box. Both setups backup a mix of Solaris and FreeBSD. It organizes your backups efficiently, deciding what level is required. Insuring a level 0 in your dumpcycle which is less than or equal to the number tapes in your cycle. Restores are simple: amrestore -p conf host fs | restore -ibf - And it beats the *#%$ out of trying to support your own scripts (which I finally successfully abandoned). For best performance and density of tape, it's best to have a holding disk to store dumps to before it's written to tape. That way, you're not waiting for a (possibly) slow tape and you keep it streaming when you do. Also it allows for multiple dumps to occur at once (written to disk). It can run into the 2gig file size limitation as it can't setup a FIFO to dump to holding and pull off to tape at the same time. I'd say that's minor. If there it can't put something to disk it can be configured to go directly to tape. Give it a shot. It's a cool program. -- "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." --Albert Einstein To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 11 06:46:12 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA18272 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 06:46:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from kant.dsams.com (mail.dsams.com [208.200.179.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA18246 for ; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 06:46:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from KRichard@dsams.com) Received: by mail.dsams.com with Internet Mail Service (5.0.1460.8) id ; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 09:45:52 -0500 Message-ID: <2AA8880B268CD1118E4600609720EB180D36A3@mail.dsams.com> From: Kai Richardson To: "'questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: HELP!!

I'm not sure I'd trust NT to run fdimage properly. However, other things to check. 1) Make sure you downloaded the boot.flp in binary mode. If you did it using Netscape or other browser, don't trust it, use command line ftp. 2) Don't trust factory formatting of the floppy. Format it again on your box using DOS format or Windows. It *CAN NOT* have any bad sectors.

I can even run the Linux Quakeworld client under X on my FreeBSD 2.2.2 system. There seems to be little speed penalty too. Since most non-commercial Linux programs come with source code, you don't even need to emulate, you can just recompile. In general, any unix app supplied as source code should be able to compile and run on ANY unix OS, commercial or non-commercial. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for us :) ), Linux will not run FreeBSD binaries, however hard you try.

Wouldn't that be nice if it were true. Over the years there have been many tries to unify Unix. SysVR4 begate OSF/1 (out of fear that Sun would get too much power by the other big guys HP, IBM and DEC). Posix, Spec 1170, etc. All have failed. Porting between Unicies is a big thing, not as big as Windows to Mac to Unix or any direction. But still it's non-trivial. If your statment was true, then Netscape, Oracle, Sybase, and all other commercial developers would simultaniously release they're products on all platforms at once. -- Friends come and go, enemies accumulate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 11 08:43:50 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA05783 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 08:43:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from back1.hiper.net (back1.hiper.net [207.137.172.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA05771 for ; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 08:43:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from randyk@ccsales.com) Received: from ccsales.ccsales.com (ccsales.ccsales.com [207.137.172.4]) by back1.hiper.net (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id IAA04412 for ; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 08:44:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from randyk@ccsales.com) Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 08:45:34 -0800 (PST) From: Randy Katz To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Did 2.2.5 Stable change???

It was the Scheck_compat rules I put in the /etc/sendmail.cf file to block the spammer that was using my mail server as a relay to spam 1000's. The result was my server loads went to over 270/250/190/ on the 1/5/15 minute averages. As a result, the server was basically useless. So now I ask, does anyone have any sendmail rules that will block the sdpammer but allow the aliases to be expanded? I have the Scheck_* rules in the ruleset 98. Maybe that's not a good place for it. Below is my S98 ruleset. I can send the .cf file if someone could take a look at it and see where I may be making an error. Again, any help is definately appreciated as this spammer has been using my server for 4 days now and I can't afford to have the system brought down like this.

Hm, that's to bad. Unfortunately I know my coding abilities are probably not up to the task at this time (I posted the error I got to the emulation list) so I think I'm stuck.

We need to know the exact text of the errors in order to derive a pattern. Problems with the swap/vm system can be caused by bad sectors in the swap partition, or bad memory. > P.S.

The floppy boots fine on other computers without a kernel panic, so it's not due to a bad image. Using -c at the boot: prompt didn't work as suggested in the web documentation, it simply locked up without ever getting to the configuration menu, giving the same kernel panic. The 2.1.7.1 Release boots without a kernel panic. I wish I could give you more information so you could find the exact nature of the problem, as it's somewhat hardware specific, but also kernel specific. If a pause/scroll-lock feature could be built into the boot sequence or without the 15 second reboot, that would help. -Jeff jgerber@sitta.uwstout.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 11 10:39:44 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA00118 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 10:39:44 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA29481 for ; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 10:38:19 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id KAA15909; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 10:37:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 10:37:51 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Kirk Larsen cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: HELP w/Install In-Reply-To: <3505A85B.627C0CF5@slip.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Tue, 10 Mar 1998, Kirk Larsen wrote: > I am trying to install FreeBSD from the Walnut Creek CD-ROM. > The CD-ROM is the 2.2.5 November 1997 release. > I have an scsi CD-ROM, with a PCI Adaptec 2940UW controller. > > When I look at the log file using the ALT-F2 option, I see many > errors like this: > > /stand/cpio:invalid header:checksum error > warning skipped ____ bytes of junk > Invalid file or directory You shouldn't get this.

Then, the disk. Your MSW95 partition likely takes the whole disk. You'll want to shrink it down to make some space for FreeBSD. FIPS will do this. (www.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools). How much you need depends on what all you want to install. Then once you've freed up some space, downloaded the pieces of the distribution you want (BIN, MANPAGES, etc.), and put them someplace the sysinstall can get to them (see the docs) you're ready to go. FreeBSD comes with a boot manager called BootEasy that'll let you boot between your OSs. OS/BSbeta is a good choice too (also in the tools directory). More info at www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multios/multios.html and www.freebsd.org/docs.html Good luck!

No; flock() wants a file descriptor; see the man page. Use open(), flock() it, then fdopen() the descriptor if you want to use the f* functions. I don't think fdopen() eats the file descriptor though, so you should be able to flock() the descriptor all you want even after you fdopen() it. > Is there some reason to use fopen() over open() or vice/versa? Is there > even any locking mechanisms in ANSI-C? fopen() lets you use the f* functions that take FILE* as arguments (fprintf(), fscanf(), etc.) and lets you do file repositioning easily (rewind() & friends). Otherwise you have to use read()/write() directly, and they are kinda messy for complex file operations. They're kinda messy in general. :) I don't know about any standardized file locking operations; that sort of thing would fall under POSIX.

I have been trying off and on for the last 6 months trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.2 onto a Seagate 1 GB SCSI-2 HD using Adaptec's 2940 or 2940AU card. I have monitored the mailing lists over the years, I have read the FAQ's, the *only* way I can get FreeBSD to boot off of a 1GB disk is if I format using DOS, put a 1 MB DOS partion on it, do a shared disk installation, make FreeBSD the active parition and go with that. I don't what @$@#$ DOS on it. Here is a brief summary of my "experiences" ... 1. FreeBSD, Adaptec 1542 SCSI ISA, Seagate 1GB HD, dedicated installs AND WORKS FINE - alright! (I have 12 machines using the 1542, I wish to upgrade them to the 2940 PCI series controllers) 2. FreeBSD, Adaptec 2940U FAST SCSI-2 PCI, Seagate 1GB FAST SCSI-2 HD, dedicated FreeBSD partion installs but cannot boot due to geometry problems and the message 'Read error'. 3. FreeBSD, Adaptec 2940AU Ultra SCSI-3 PCI, Seagate 1GB SCSI-2 (w/card set for 10 MB max), dedicated -or- Seagate 1GB SCSI-3 Ultra (w/card set for 20 MB max), dedicated installs but cannot boot due to geometry problems and the message 'Read error'. 4. check this one out: FreeBSD, Adaptec 2940U FAST SCSI-2 PCI, Seagate 2GB FAST SCSI-2 HD, dedicated FreeBSD partion, installs AND WORKS FINE! ALRIGHT! The ONLY difference is that the disk is 2 GB instead of 1 GB. What the hell gives??? 5. Being that the 2940AU is suppose to be backwards compatable with SCSI-2 drives, why can I not boot FreeBSD installed via the 1542 with the 2940AU Ultra card ???? I have tried not setting geometries, setting geometries both according to the FAQ on whether disk translation greater than 1 GB on and off. I am using the "logical" drive, not the physical. The floppies utility 'pfdisk' beleches about the geometry. FreeBSD's 'fdisk', when booting via flopply, belches about the geomtry. FreeBSD's 'disklabel -r /dev/rds0' dislplays not what I set in the partion editor. When I did a "shared" disk installation with DOS and FreeBSD, I wrote down the output of 'fdisk' and 'pfdisk' so I could get the proper geometries. OK. They report the drive as 1010/64/32 (translation turned off). Try setting the geometry to this on the next install process in the partion editor, dedicate the whole drive to FreeBSD and bam! back to square one again. I would really, really, really, did I say really?, be appreciative if someone would take the time to answer this, or give their own experiences, or give pointer to who I could talk to so I can get this resolved, or any RTFM's! I hate so say this, but I am thinking of buying Linux to see if Linux has a problem with these cards. I know, there are people out there using Adaptec 2940, 2940AU's on their systems, but what makes it so dang hard with these 1 GB drives I don't know, ... I just don't know ... I guess I will probably have to stay with FreeBSD, 1542, and the 1 GB drives already installed. Doesn't matter whether the drives are brand spanking new or 2 years old. Same problem.

Could I get an Ascii-Art representation of your network? You'll need to nominate a machine to be your new ``router'' that all traffic will pass through. All you have to do is setup ipfw on that box.

We need the chip name and number of your multi-I/O controller as well as the output of boot -v; send it to grog@freebsd.org. You could also try installing -STABLE with PnP and see if that helps.

You can use cvsup to update the ports just like the other parts of FreeBSD. If you don't have cvsup installed yet, give the handbook a look and go through the simple installation procedure. The handbook also gives you details on how to update the ports collection specifically. http://www.freebsd.org/ if you don't have it installed locally.

Same problem. > I have sen similar problems. I am prety sure the problem is that the 1542 and the 2940 bios'es use different geometries. The solution is to be sure that you fdisk the disk, on the controller you will use the disk on, with the geometry that that controller will use. In line with my policy of "if at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" the following. Install the 2940 and connect the disk. using ^A go into the SCSI Utilities and format the drive. boot off the install floppy and install. I believe this should work. PS. I have both a 1542 and a 2940U in my 3.0 current system at home.

The internet is the best and easiest money making tool ever created. I just emailed 30 million people simultaneously, by hitting just a few keystrokes. I can show you how to contact millions and millions of people, any time you want, as much as you want, for free! And, I can show you how to make thousands of dollars doing it. With my experience, I will show you how to cash in on the biggest and hottest item in the world, the internet. I have been an entrepreneur all of my adult life, and over the last ten years I have realized that it is relatively easy to succeed financially. A popular phrase is "take a millionaire's money away and he/she will earn it all back within a short period of time". This tells you that success is knowledge, just simply knowing what to do, all you need is a good teacher. That is why I created the Success! Newsletter. America is still the land of opportunity. The only difference is that the opportunity is far more hidden then it was in the past. For example, we have been trained that 3% is a good, solid, rate of interest for our savings, or maybe 7% on a CD, or 15% on a mutual fund. We have been trained poorly. The Success! Newsletter will show you how to earn well over 100% annually, even on small investments, in what is called Asset Enhancement Programs. Banks, Fortune 500 companies, and even the US government have been taking part in these programs since WWII. In these programs, the interest is guaranteed, and the principle is insured. So why isn't everybody involved in these programs if they are so good? Just think what would happen to your bank if everybody was doing it. Like I said, some things, the big things, are hidden. The Success! Newsletter reveals big and hidden things. Investments are great, but you have to make the money first, right? This is what the Success! Newsletter focuses on. We have all been bombarded with business opportunities that promise "1000's the first month, with little or no work!" My friends, you know that it just doesn't work that way. The first rule of success is "Don't ever believe that you will get something for nothing". The second rule is persistence, and the third rule makes it all worth it- "if your an intelligent being (that includes you), and you apply the first two rules, you can and will succeed!!" Just like the hidden investment opportunities, I have found and succeeded in high profit businesses that will earn you the money you always dreamed of. These real and legitimate opportunities, including mass emailing are extensively covered in the Success! Newsletter. On a personal note, I am a golfer. But, I had no idea how to play until somebody taught me. Once I learned, I became better and better until I mastered the game. The financial world works the same way, you must be taught how to play. Think about it, you have never been taught how to be financially successful, there is no course in high school, in college, it is not taught anywhere! But, as we discussed, financial success is a result of being taught how. It is no surprise that most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. With the information in the Success! Newsletter you will learn how to break free from the 9 to 5 routine that has America bound, and live the life you have always dreamed of. The Success! Newsletter will teach you the fundamentals of success, and the mindset of millionaires. It will show you how to earn the money you have always dreamed of, and achieve the American dream of financial independence. And, it will show you powerful ways to invest, earn incredible interest while protecting your money! The Success! Newsletter will open your mind to the financial world, and the unbelievable opportunities it holds, while revealing the secrets that have made many Americans successful. Order today! The Success!

It is the same one I compiled before. Basicly I just went back to the place I had it and typed "makesendmail clean" then "makesendmail".

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi. I'm currently trying to set up a local area LAN which uses a single computer connected to a cable modem to do IP masquerading. I've read the natd man page and think that I have everything set up correctly. Yet, nothing on the local network is getting or receiving packets. My local network consists of the freeBSD machine, and 3 WinNT machines connected through the LAN. Here's one specific question...should the freeBSD machine be able to 'ping' the other machines on the local network? Right now, I'm not able to. Each local machine has a 10.x.x.x IP address, and their names are matched to their IPs in /etc/hosts. Any idea what could be wrong? Would someone who has gone through a set up like this before be willing to help me out? Thanks in advance. -Jeremy Lueck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 11 13:34:07 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA15082 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 13:34:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from dt050ndd.san.rr.com (root@dt050ndd.san.rr.com [204.210.31.221]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA14955 for ; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 13:33:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Studded@dal.net) Received: from dal.net (dougdougdougdoug@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by dt050ndd.san.rr.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA03866; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 13:33:22 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Studded@dal.net) Message-ID: <35070321.CECE085A@dal.net> Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 13:33:21 -0800 From: Studded Organization: Triborough Bridge & Tunnel Authority X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.6-BETA-0310 i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pstephan@cs.cmu.edu CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Problems mounting extended DOS partition References: <1386.889646894@N2.SP.CS.CMU.EDU> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG pstephan@cs.cmu.edu wrote: > > Hi, > > I know that it shouldn't be hard, but I am unable to mount > my extended DOS partition from FreeBSD.

Not just POLA, but the fact that the resolver and other libraries/headers/etc. in BIND 8.1.1 are not yet ready for prime time. Word is that 8.1.2 will have some or all of this stuff fixed, but the CW for BIND is still build 4.9.6 to get the headers and libs (which we do) and if you are running a publicly accessible nameserver build 8.1.1 to get the better binaries and named.conf options. There's no way that BIND 8.x should ever go into FreeBSD 2.anything, except as a port, which we already have. :) OTOH, once it's ready for prime time BIND 8 should definitely be part of -Current, hopefully before 3.0-Release. That will be good timing for the change.

Me too. :) But the performance of the named binary while running an actual nameserver is an entirely different issue from the resolver libraries, other libraries and headers that are built into every part of the system, whether you're running a nameserver or not. I realize it's a rather arcane thing if you're not familiar with how unix binaries are built, but trust me, it's apples and oranges.

The big difference is in the fact that the f* functions are buffered library functions, whereas the others are system calls. This improves performance if you're accessing a lot of unaligned data (the normal case). It also makes locking impossible, since you're keeping private copies of the data.

What's the difference between getting the rootpassword sniffed at login, and when su'ing? Other than the sniffer probably need to snif both your normal password, and the rootpassword, if he doesn't have one himself and are in group wheel.

Well, in fact I'd say "vive la différence". It has the great advantage of being able to cache up to 512 MB of memory, depending on the tag RAM. The TX maxes out at 64 MB. You should check the tag RAM, though (a small chip with the inscription xx129, xx256 or xx257). You need at least two of them to cache more than 64 MB. Also, the Aladdin 4+ is about 3% slower than the TX with 512 kB cache, and fractionally faster with 1 MB. > Does FreeBSD have any special driver code for this chipset ? No. Drivers are for peripherals. The "chipset" is logically part of the CPU. > Thank you very much, sorry for polluting the list with this kind > of questions... I wouldn't call it pollution.

Its SCSI id leads it to be recognized as sd3 by FreeBSD. I'm using two slices, the first for DOS, the second for FreeBSD. So the root partition is on /dev/sd3s2a. Unfortunately, I can't boot off that device. I've tried two different ways. The first is to set the boot manager to boot that partition, but for some reason the boot manager I've got installed on SCSI0 (OSBS) won't update the boot information any more (it gives me a "can't write to disk"). The second is to boot directly off the boot manager I installed on the new drive (or alternatively, to boot off the old FreeBSD2.1.0 boot block on SCSI1). But I can't figure out what path to give to the kernel. I tried: sd(3,a) sd(3,b) 3:sd(1,a) and a few other choices. dmesg output: sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 516MB (1057616 512 byte sectors) (ahc0:2:0): "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-5401TA 3605" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ahc0:2:0): CD-ROM can't get the size (ahc0:3:0): "QUANTUM LIGHTNING 730S 241E" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ahc0:3:0): Direct-Access 699MB (1431760 512 byte sectors) (ahc0:4:0): "iomega jaz 1GB G.60" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd2(ahc0:4:0): Direct-Access sd2(ahc0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB sd2 could not mode sense (4).

I can't edit the boot menu in any way right now, not even to delete an obsolete entry. Any help would be appreciated. - -- Steven "And so he says, I don't like the cut of your jib.

Thanks greatly for this patch, Yuri. Doubtless it can do with cleaning up, but it did the trick for me (running on an Iwill P55XB2 board).

I've been through the man pages, dogeared the Hal Stern book, and only spent two evenings getting my network to run again while trying to set up NIS. Between one server and one client, no less! I've configured the files in /etc, and sysconfig (2.2.1R) is set up to cause ypserv and ypbind to run. rpcinfo reports everything running. The client end shows the maps are accessible but the only user available on the client is root. I can ypmatch any of the other users and see the map record as well. So, I assume that the login is seeing the same thing. However... ypcat on the password map shows the server password map, and _not_ the client map appended as I expected. The root entry, for example shows the shell selection for the server side and not the client side. I assume that is because I'm reading the map on the server and not the client. Since I cannot log on to any users in the map I think the append never happens. What, exactly is the syntax of the "+" key usage in this implementation. I may have had other problems since sendmail went bannanas. Loopback errors were abundant but the mail went through. Ideas?

Why is the extended DOS partition slice 5? And > why does sysinstall tell me that the partition is known as wd0s3 > if I need to refer to it as /dev/wd0s5? To sysinstall, the whole slice is wd0s3 since the only thing the partition labeller is interested in is the "primary" partitions, since those are the only slices it can install into. The way DOS handles partitions, one of the 4 available primary partitions is converted to what's known as an extended partition, and the logical partitions are divided up within the extended partition. So, wd0s3 is the extended partition, and wd0s5 is the first logical partition within it. They are not the same thing.

I ended up moving to -CURRENT where there is this nifty feature that detects/predicts `the bounce buffer out of range' issue and disables the bounce buffers. ;-) I don't know whether this feature made its way into the upcoming 2.2.6-RELEASE, but I sure hope it did. (Jordan?) Your problem should disappear by manually disabling (commenting) the `options BOUNCE_BUFFERS' in your kernel configuration file and building/installing a new kernel. AFAIK you don't need to specify the `MAXMEM' option in 2.2.5-RELEASE and later systems; it's automagically detected. Enjoy the 512MB. -- Regards, Norman C.

You may have other things that you still have to configure, but I have a home LAN on which I run a PostgresSQL server on a machine behind my ppp-machine. I can successfully run psql from the shell account on my ISP's machine and connect to my PostgresSQL server.

The format of the source files is one entry per line. domains is all or part of the domain you wish to block, ips is the ip address of the site to reject. The blocks are system-wide.

You'll want to stick a computer between the hub and the router and configure it for all of your firewalling/filtering needs. Of course you can recycle an existing computer, just remember to allow packets in/out for whatever service(s) it may be hosting.

They may have changed sendmail so that an incompatiblity exists. The FreeBSD source-tree version should be hackable to accomodate TCPWrappers since it's basically the same source with necessary porting done.

Springing a new version of software that requires **major** changes to work in a point release isn't good release engineering. There is always the port.

Well, you have safeguards in place to keep people from sniffing, right? Disabled telnet, use ssh exclusively? In this case it creates two walls to get through -- the user's and then root's passwords. Hacking one password is hard enough, two can be downright impossible with limited time.

One or the other, but not both. You can't swap midway. If you can't net install, buy the CD and see if your system can boot it directly.

Other than the sniffer probably need to snif both your There are also issues beyond sniffing. If someone compromises your root password in any way, and is able to access via the internet without going through a user account first, it is that much easier. Also, suing creates a log entry of who sued when (obviously this could be easily removed from the logs unless you have some form of secure logging going on). It's basically a matter of every little bit helps. There are no good reasons to allow it and plenty of good reasons not to allow it. Sean -- "Believe me, the truth is we're not honest.

But the binaries won't install and the install program doesn't create the X11 directory mentioned in the 'env' path variable. I choose X-windows, I 'commit', the install program runs for about an hour copying over /bin files, etc. then it stops, asking me if I want to add some last minute packages. I say no, attempt to configure X-windows from the install program, and the install program says X-windows isn't installed.

I have a Dell XPS P90 machine, and I currently have a '586 Pentium Overdrive chip in it which normally clocks out to 150.34. However, here's some examples of incorrect values: CPU: Pentium (109.75-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (118.77-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (142.82-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (117.27-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (105.24-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (126.29-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (103.83-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (94.24-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (148.84-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (114.26-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (99.22-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (148.84-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (126.29-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (111.25-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (111.25-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (117.27-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (148.84-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (121.78-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (25.64-MHz 586-class CPU) CPU: Pentium (112.76-MHz 586-class CPU) Prior to installing the Overdrive chip, I had overclocked the bus to 33 Mhz. I never experienced any obvious problems with the overclocking either in FreeBSD or OS/2, except I also checked the logs, and prior to installing the overdrive chip the cpu was also being calibrated incorrectly. (I hope this is all making sense. :) I noticed after installing the overdrive chip that it wasn't being calibrated properly, so I reset the bus to factory speeds. I still get fairly frequent (and sometimes dramatic) incorrect values. Now, I've checked the archives, and there are several references to the *CALIBRATION* options in LINT, however I'm unclear exactly which options I should use to increase the chances of the CPU being detected accurately. Here is the first bit of a verbose probe in case it's of use: Calibrating clock(s) ... i586 clock: 150348976 Hz, i8254 clock: 1193249 Hz CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION not specified - using default frequency CLK_USE_I586_CALIBRATION not specified - using old calibration method CPU: Pentium (150.34-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x52c Stepping=12 Features=0x1bf I'm very open to suggestions here, and thanks for any help.

FreeBSD is unix, Linux is also unix, but FreeBSD is not Linux. It's a bit like comparing Netscape with Internet explorer. They're both browsers, but they're not the same thing. It's a matter of preference which one you use. FreeBSD has an advantage in that it can run most Linux programs via emulation. It does this very well in my experience, although I doubt it will run everything from the games CD. I know I shouldn't try to convert people to Linux on a FreeBSD list, but why don't you run Linux if you want to run all the Linux games?

AGP means "Advanced Graphics Port" (I think). It's supposed that AGP graphics adapters would benefit of a faster I/O than the PCI ones. FreeBSD itself runs in "text mode", compatible with both PCI and AGP cards. However, the X Window System (the XFree86 package bundled with FreeBSD) may have problems with AGP adapters. Note that XFree86 is _not_ part of FreeBSD; and it's also included in most Linux distributions, so that you have the same problem with AGP and Linux. Last week XFree86 3.3.2 was released. Now, some X servers support AGP cards. The Matrox Millenium II AGP, for example, is supported by XFree86 3.3.2. The last release of FreeBSD (2.2.5) comes with XFree86 3.3.1, but you can upgrade it easily to 3.3.2. And "real soon" will be released FreeBSD 2.2.6; I think that it will include XFree86 3.3.2. You can find information about AGP graphics adapters supported by XFree86 3.3.2 in http://www.xfree86.org. -- JM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose M.

I'm the beginner in FreeBSD usage, so I expirienced an problem. Now I'm using FreeBSD RELEASE-2.2.2. Sometime ago I dl'ed source of FreeBSD-stable version (/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/src/*). I dl'ed sources only because my free dialup IP connectivity is poor, and another dialup too expencive, so I cannot use an ftp-based installation or upgrading procedure. When I tried to 'make world' under 2.2.2 I got some error messages during compiling (such as bad fileld names in timeval-typed structures in fsck.c and newfs.c). What's wrong? I tried to find an answer, but cannod find (possible, I asked an wrong question) I'd made such thing when I upgraded 2.1.7 to 2.1.7.1 release, and that time got an successfull upgrade.

I have installed FreeBSD on many Toshiba units just fine. You might to pickup a FDD caddy, so that you can keep your CDROM installed in the laptop, and use the FDD externally. It's a real pain to shut down your unit to swap out the CDROM. Other than that I know of no other problems. Paul Griffith BTW: I was using FreeBSD Rel 2.2.2.

I'm not sure any single one is compelling. Protection from sniffing is not one of them. One is that it then requires the hacker to guess/steal two passwords. Another is that it provides a better trail to determine who made changes to the system if the fault was unintentional, or you have secure logs. A final one is that it encourges useing "least privilege", i.e. using the least amount of "force" required to get the job done. I'm sure I could come up with others but the bottom line is that it is good pratice for various reasons. Note: that if I can sniff packets from your network, and passwords are in the clear, I very likely have complete access to every host on that network.

For instance, is it normal to see a value of 200 under `pi', but 0 under `po'? What are page faults, anyway (something to do about a request for memory which is swapped out?)

All the PPP stuff on the FREE BSD box has been working for a few months now, and I have been using squid as a proxy for the other machines on the ethernet we have. However, I need software who's services are not supported by squid to work on the subnet machines. So I thought I would use IP Masquerading instead. I have used the -alias switch on the PPP program, and I have set the GATEWAY flag in rc.conf to YES. Ping, FTP, web, and telnet all seem to work fine. But I was wondering if you know of any reason why other software which uses the net might not work. The software I am trying to get to work is a thing called net2phone. It is supposed to allow the use of your PC as a telephone. Any Ideas ?

My question is this - the mechanical switcher is much, much cheaper than the auto switcher (4 ports @ (U.K.) £96 not 4 @ £595) but the manufacturer says that servers may have problems on the mechanical because only one machine at a time sees the mouse, kboard, etc. and so may return errors. Q. Would FreeBSD stable 2.2.5 care or would it not complain once I had the server up and "removed" the mouse, etc. ? I hope someone can answer this question because it will decide which one I go for.

I've used both, but not with FreeBSD. I've seen mechnical switchers blow motherboard keyboard interfaces, so I'm not hot on their use, but I'm not a doom-and-gloom type, because I've seen cases where they never caused problems either. If you do go with the mechanical switchbox, make sure all BIOS's are set up to allow booting if the keyboard is not detected. I don't know if FreeBSD will handle it if you plug in the keyboard after the fact, though.

Thnx /Ev/ You really really want to read the man page for crontab lots of times before you make changes. Type at the command line: man 5 crontab The short answer to your question is that on a BSD system, the systemwide root crontab is /etc/crontab.

Ok, it sounds like the sources you downloaded are not the most up to date. You want to point your ftp at releng22.freebsd.org, go to pub/FreeBSD and then go to the directory with the latest 2.2.6--BETA. I can guarantee you that these sources will compile. It might help you to have step by step instructions for this process. I have a web page that is a rewrite of the old "upgrade from source" tutorial, and it also has a link to the new page on it now. Check out http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/upgrade.html and let me know if that's helpful for you. You want to pay particular attention to the section that talks about using the -CLOBBER flag since you're upgrading from a much older release.

Cook a script in /etc/profile, which checks if the same loginname is present on another tty. Either kill this one or the other. If you are nice, ask the user which one. The second login could be a mistake, or the first one could hang, so the second login might be allowable...

I am facing some problems when trying to put netatalk to wirk on a 2.2.5-R. At boot time a message like "no support to protocol" apears. Nothing was actually described on the documentation, but, decompressing the package on a separate directory, and reading the files I would never find in another way, I realised the magic words "AppleTalk Kernel support". Question: Is this support enabled by default on the generic kernel ? How to activate it ? (Let me guess: Enable the option on the configuration file and recompile the lernel) I am facing a special sittuation here: This machine is at a show, w/ no phone/internet connection; I have no access to anything but what is in the 2.2.5 CD. If you ppl can provide info on how to get it working - as detailed as possible - I'd apreciate. PS.: I know it is not polite to rush people, but solutions within 24 hours would be great, since the show will be over and I'll have no other oportunity to have a Mac in the network to test the services.

Most cheap PCI cards are Digital-chip based; check the card. If it has a Digital 2114x chip on it, it'll work. For porting drivers, we need the source, and vendors don't normally provide source.

Even under X, it just run in tty-mode, not gui. The CVSUP gui, you mean? It may not be compiled in by default since it wants X libs either way, and cvsupit is supposed to be easy. you can always install cvsup from the package, it should have the gui installed.

Make sure your have "+set dedicated 1" on your command line. It should look something like this: quake2 +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg If you don't put the "+set dedicated 1" on the cmdline it will run at 100% CPU from my experience.

It's a problem that your system noticed that it's running a disk in compatibility mode? Just tweak /etc/fstab as needed and all will be happy.

Let me see if I can do an operating systems class in a reasonable sized email message ;-) Most modern operating systems (UNIX-oids and Wind-oids) handle memory in sections called `pages'. FreeBSD uses a page size of 4096 bytes; other systems use different sizes. By using pages, the system can avoid having to load an entire program (or `process') into physical memory at once; it has to load some at run-time, but after that unused pages can be `paged out', or removed from memory, to make room for other processes. As the program reaches areas of it's image that aren't in memory, the memory system `pages in' the needed pages from disk. Paged out pages can either be discarded entirely or be placed in a special area of the disk for later retrieval, called `swap'. This system is called `virutal memory'. The big thing to look at on VM systems is swap usage, viewable in `top' and `swapinfo' easier than in `systat -vmstat'. If your machine has constant disk activity and `top' shows lots of data going in/out of swap, you need more memory to counteract the need for swap. Swap will kill your performance since a disk is several factors slower than RAM. Look for this line in the top display: Swap: 100M Total, 37M Used, 63M Free, 37% Inuse, 144K In If you see lots of In/Out and a high use percentage, consider buying some SIMMs next time you're out shopping. In addition to helping swap usage, more RAM will allow the disk's buffer cache to increase, saving you from disk accesses by grabbing them from cache instead of directly from disk. In terms of disk bandwidth, if your system serves lots of random requests (like database or busy web pages) moving from IDE to SCSI may help you. This is more of a judgement call on your part. SCSI has the added benefit of reducing CPU usage by offloading I/O operations onto the controller's CPU. (IDE requires the main CPU to do all the copying itself, which really drags things out.)

In these types of setups, people use NFS mounted homes. Our CS department does this (but it's very strongly Sun).

Well lo and behold, it worked like a charm. :) I set that option in the kernel, recompiled, and rebooted lots of times in a row (which was my most reliable failure case previously). It consistently displayed the cpu speed as 150.34, which I've come to see as "normal" since I installed the overdrive chip. On 2 out of the 9 reboots it detected the speed as 150.35, which was fine with me. :) So, now for the big test, will it handle my overclocking the bus? Well I'm VERY pleased to report that it did. I reset the jumper to clock the bus at 33 Mhz instead of 30, and repeated the rebooting test. It consistenly detected the speed as 166.20, and once as 166.22. So I'm now a very happy camper. I'm running rc564 in the background so I'll have a rough benchmark on the perfomance. Which leads me to my final question, which is why this option not included by default if you pick the 586 cpu option in the kernel config? By the way, I was remiss in my previous post in not mentioning that the failure to detect the cpu speed properly was the cause of many of the dreaded calcru errors. There's lots of questions about calcru in the archives, but almost no answers. The worse the variance in the clock speed from what it should be, the more calcru errors I'd see during normal operations.

In the book by Stern (O'Reilly), the fields are sometimes filled with zero or, an asterisk, as in +:*::0:0:::: etc. for expanding group and user IDs. This is also used to replace some of the fields in the global map with local values. The asterisk is for password protection. Are these syntactic conventions for the Sun platform or general to FreeBSD also? Such an entry resulted in failures during login. User name went in ok, but the password was never prompted for.

The problem that I am seeing at the moment is with a new -current kernel, the root file system will fail to mount on boot. Running mount with no arguments shows that / has the device 'root_device' mounted on it and not '/dev/sd0a' as I would aspect. When I try to mount '/dev/sd0a' on / mount gives the error: "Specified device does not match mounted device.\n". I will try recompiling mount in a moment. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Not sure - I haven't looked at nntpcache :-) leafnode is a news server with a 3 line config file that fetches news based on requests made by clients and expires it based on threads not having been read/written for a configurable number of days. It runs from inetd and is *really* easy to set up. knews is just a nice X based reader. It does the best threading I've seen and has all the features you'd want.

Bummer! :( :( This is really not nearly enough detail. Do you have a directory /usr/X11R6/bin? If you do, you need it in your path. Otherwise tell me which install program you mean.

I hacked around a bit and made these changes: To scsi/scsiconf.h, I added three lines after the line containing "#define QIC_3080 0x29" #define TEAC_8 0x08 /* mt2st */ #define TEAC_88 0x88 /* mt2st */ #define TEAC_A8 0xA8 /* mt2st */ To scsi/scsiconf.c, I added these seven lines before the line containing "static st_modes mode_unktape =" static st_modes mode_teac = { {512, ST_Q_FORCE_FIXED_MODE, 0}, /* minor 0,1,2,3 */ {512, ST_Q_FORCE_FIXED_MODE, TEAC_8}, /* minor 4,5,6,7 */ {512, ST_Q_FORCE_FIXED_MODE, TEAC_88}, /* minor 8,9,10,11 */ {512, ST_Q_FORCE_FIXED_MODE, TEAC_A8} /* minor 12,13,14,15 */ }; and then later in scsi/scsiconf.c, these additional eight lines to the knowndevs array, at the end of the "#if NST > 0 ... #endif /* NST */" block { T_SEQUENTIAL, T_SEQUENTIAL, T_REMOV, "TEAC", "MT-2ST/N*", "*", "st", SC_ONE_LU, ST_Q_FORCE_FIXED_MODE|ST_Q_NO_1024|ST_Q_IGNORE_LOADS, mode_teac }, { T_SEQUENTIAL, T_SEQUENTIAL, T_REMOV, "TEAC", "MT-2ST/F*", "*", "st", SC_ONE_LU, ST_Q_FORCE_FIXED_MODE|ST_Q_NO_1024, mode_teac }, After light testing, these appear to work. I'm sending these changes to the list because I want to document them for the archives (so someone else can use them); however, it would be even better if whoever maintains the scsi code added them to the source tree. -Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 12 17:17:04 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA15558 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 17:17:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from smtp.northlink.com (root@prescott.northlink.com [209.75.160.32]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA15485 for ; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 17:16:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from warp9@smtp.northlink.com) Received: (from warp9@localhost) by smtp.northlink.com (8.8.6/8.7.3) id SAA00421; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 18:16:46 -0700 (MST) Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 18:16:44 -0700 (MST) From: "A.J.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi folks, This is a kind of generic issue but I hope someone will give me an idea. I'm going to have two FreeBSD boxes at our customer site as Internet servers. One will be ipfw + proxy + dns, and the other one will be mail + web + dns. I wonder if mail server exists inside of the firewall is better or outside. If it were inside, crackers would attack the intranet through sendmail. I don't know how but I'm saying a possibility. Also, the mail server will be http server. This means that they could get into the intranet using cgi program if the program were so stupid.

My .profile (and /usr/share/skel/dot.profile) in FreeBSD 2.2.2 has these two lines: # add /usr/games or /usr/X11R6/bin if you want PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$HOME/bin; export PATH It took an lot of painful searching to work out why my X wasn't working after the upgrade. The path in /usr/share/skel/dot.login does not appear to have had games and X consored in this way, but I find it a handy reference for the different syntax when stuck with csh. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 12 18:18:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA25375 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 18:18:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail2.texas.net (mail2.texas.net [207.207.0.140]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA25307 for ; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 18:17:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rsnow@texas.net) Received: from rex.lgc.com (mnet03-66.sat.texas.net [206.127.6.234]) by mail2.texas.net (8.8.8/2.4) with SMTP id UAA02452 for ; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 20:17:38 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <001501bd4e26$2fb5a880$03e48486@rex.lgc.com> From: "Rob Snow" To: Subject: stable kernel on 2.2.5 fails to boot Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 20:17:04 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.2106.4 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2106.4 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I sent in a message the other day about this problem.

It has all the hardware and software loaded / configured to use NATd, ipfw, and routing to provide Internet access from the internal 10.* network to the ISP. The MS Server and Client machines are also loaded / configured. My problem is that as I watch the NATd translations (-v), I see that the TCP traffic (port 1723, per MS Knowledge Base Article q166288) is translated properly, but the non TCP protocol traffic (protocol 47) is not, even though the source and destination addresses are displayed properly. My NATd command is: natd -l -v -i vx0 -redirect_address 10.1.1.30 204.xxx.xxx.91 I see the following typical messages (from memory, so this may be a little sytactically messed up): in [tcp] 204.xxx.xxx.96:1030 -> 204.xxx.xxx.91:1723 aliased to 204.xxx.xxx.96:1030 -> 10.1.1.1:1723 in [?] 204.xxx.xxx.96 -> 204.xxx.xxx.91 aliased to 204.xxx.xxx.96 -> 204.xxx.xxx.91 Anyway, the point is that the unidentified protocol (47) is not being translated by NATd. (I checked that packets with a Lan Sniffer and they are protocol 47). Finally, my question(s) is this: Is there some way to make NATd do the translation on this protocol, or does it only handle TCP and UDP traffic? If so, is there some other way to get the MS PPTP in through the firewall to an unregistered network, or has someone hacked the NATd code to support MS PPTP? Or, how is everyone else providing MS VPN through their firewall?

We went with a Cisco as an outer "firewall" (it can do much of what ipfw can do), a "throwaway" mail/web/dnis server in the DMZ, and a firewall to the real inner network. People get their mail by popping through the firewall. The worst that happens if someone breaks into our web server is that we have to restore the server from backups, we loose some mail, and they get to read the drivel that passes as intraoffice email in this place. We've had a few minor security incidences, but nothing major, the only time we lost the firewall was due to HD failure. No root breaches that we're aware of, mostly social-engineering things, and the people that know the root password are too sharp for that.

The big one: IF YOU ARE RUNNING -CURRENT, SUBSCRIBE TO THE FREEBSD-CURRENT MAILING LIST! This isn't the correct mailing list to discuss -current issues, and if you don't read -current mail, you'll be surprised like this again. I'm copying this to -questions, and not to -current, because there might be more like you out there. What has happened is relatively complicated: they've eliminated the "compatibility slice", so you will no longer be able to mount /dev/sd0a. Use /dev/sd0s1a instead (in /etc/fstab). Don't be put off by the fact that it will then claim to mount /dev/sd0s2a; that's a known bug.

You need to add options NETATALK into your kernel config file, and recompile your kernel. Before doing that, though, you will need to get the appletalk kernel patches from ftp.freebsd.org and apply them. 2.2.5-RELEASE's kernel has broken AppleTalk support as distributed. Since you have no net access where you are, I'll include the appropriate kernel patch in a seperate email that won't go to the list. Use if you want to (if you trust me). I promise it's the real thing, but I'll leave the decision up to you.

So let's show the answer there too. But hang on, I've got another question :-) I went and searched and couldn't find the item in the archives. That's what usually happens when someone says to look there, so I mustn't have the hang of this thing yet. I was searching for "ssh and file and transfer" and "ssh and ftp".

I WAS trying to do PPTP thru a FreeBSD-2.2.2 PPP connection to my ISP (with -alias turned on to do the address translation) and couldn't get it to work (it would timeout in the "Verifying username and password..." part, if I remember correctly). I ended up getting a subnet (read: "real" IP addresses) for the system(s) behind my FreeBSD box and turned off the aliasing and now it works.

Most DAT drives are more expensive than Travan drives, but if you're looking at a SCSI Travan 4 drive for about $200-300, and a DDS-2 DAT drive for about $500-600, the cost of the media can make the Travan drive more expensive. For example, most 90m DAT tapes are less than $6, and hold 2GB (up to 4 GB compressed), and 120m DAT tapes can be had for about $10 (4 GB, up to 8 GB compressed). The Travan 4 tape equivalent to a 120m DAT tape typically runs $30-40, so if you plan on having 10-15 tapes, the Travan drive quickly becomes the more expensive choice.

Well, I don't know that small errors are a big problem. However as I pointed out in my follow up post when the difference gets larger I get more and more calcru errors, such as /kernel: calcru: negative time: -84750 usec. When the difference is very high every single operation gives an error, it's like fireworks. :) Frankly my main concern was that I be able to overclock again, but I wasn't comfortable doing that till I knew for sure that I could get the thing to work properly at the regular speed.

You can get some good general help here. When you have a more concrete plan you might want to post it to freebsd-isp for review. At the same time (and please don't take this the wrong way) you should seriously consider hiring someone to help you with this. The cost of hiring a good consultant can be made up many times over the first time you have to go down there at 2am and spend hours recreating things from scratch. > I'm going to have two FreeBSD boxes at our customer site as Internet servers.

Your best bet would probably be to have an "outside" mail server that receives the mail and uses a smart relay host rule to pass it inside the firewall to the other machine that will pass out the actual mail. > If it were inside, crackers would attack the intranet through sendmail.

The ipfw that comes with freebsd should do everything you need for an operation like this. If you look at the /etc/rc.firewall script there are some good books recommended in there for you.

It runs from inetd and is *really* easy to set up. Except it is not quite compatible with netscape4.04 at least. First it leafnode barfs on an expanded command from netscape. Secondly, it seems netscape is looking at _every_ newsgroup for new messages, not only the ones subscribed, causing leafnode to try to fetch everything.

Well, let's see. Yesterday I cross-posted an answer when I moved it to another list and got ragged out by jordan. So, y'all work it out amongst yourselves. :) In all seriousness, I almost always do cross-post answers to show the people on the "wrong" list that it's been answered, but I didn't see the need to cross post an RTNM (Read the Nifty Manual :) answer. > But hang on, I've got another question :-) > > I went and searched and couldn't find the item in the archives. > That's what usually happens when someone says to look there, so I mustn't > have the hang of this thing yet. > > I was searching for "ssh and file and transfer" and "ssh and ftp". > Yes I did read all the messages that came up, as well as the searching tips, > but couldn't think of anything else to do. > > How would you have done this search? I almost always start with just two words, and I try to make them as general as possible. Then as I pick up hints from skimming the answers I make it more narrow. Also, globals are your friend. I probably would have done something like 'ssh and file*' since that would cover things like file[s,-transfer,etc.]. As it turns out, there was enough info in that run to narrow it down further. These things are all covered in the hints. One thing that isn't covered in the hints is something I've noticed since after the crash. I seem to remember a post regarding changes in the way the search engine works, which might account for it. My point is that I've found lately that typing in phrases without joining the words with conditionals works a lot better than it used to. In this case it didn't really help, however when I was working on my cpu calibration problem I typed in those 3 words, hit return and got the right answer in the first 2 or 3 posts. :) The more you use the search engine the more you get a "feel" for it. That's why I often encourage people to use it often. :) One thing I found helpful is to take a question that you know the answer to and try to find it in the archives. Get a feel for what queries produce results that are helpful to you. Of course it's not always going to have what you need, but the fact that the original poster sent his question to -isp was an indication to me that he hadn't done his homework. Defecation occurs.

You did something to try to get X to install on your system. Some install program? What's that? What was it that you did, exactly? How? What did you type? Where did you type it? What did you expect to be the result? 2. When you did whatever it was, what response did you get from your computer? Did it say "Installing X, Sir" or "Error" or spit out screens and screens of computer-speak, or not respond at all... what?? If there was a bit of to and fro, summarise them and give full details of where it seemed to go wrong. 3. Whatever you did, and whatever the computer did, it didn't end up putting X on your system (or at least we'll assume that for now). But you might have thought that it did? Hoped? So what was the very next thing you did after "installing" by the method outlined under 1 above. What did you type and what did the computer type back at you? And then what did you try? And what happened? At what point did you begin to suspect that something wasn't going right? Maybe what I'm asking you to tell isn't exactly the same as what the others need to see, but if you cough up this much info we'll stop going round in circles long enough to get a little bit closer to an answer. If you don't do this we might all get bored and tell you to RTFM, which would be rather tricky because I don't know which FM could answer a question like this one :-) So tell us all you can remember. Take it in stages if that's any easier. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 13 00:34:04 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA21851 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 00:34:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from colossus.dyn.ml.org (dburr@199-170-160-121.la.inreach.net [199.107.160.121]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA21786 for ; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 00:33:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dburr@colossus.dyn.ml.org) Received: (from dburr@localhost) by colossus.dyn.ml.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA10940 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 00:36:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dburr) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.2 [p0] on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 00:36:01 -0800 (PST) Organization: Computer Help From: Donald Burr To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: FreeBSD affected by "teardrop" attack?

Now, now that I have a few examples, the man page will begin to be useful. Your examples help me to understand it and give me a reason to study it more closely.

No idea (sorry), but in this particular case you could always do something like # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail # cp -p Makefile makefile # vi makefile edit ``install'' target into a no-op The idea is that make reads makefile instead of Makefile.

VERSION 2.2.5 One problem is that I use partition magic to partition my hard disk but the freebsd fdisk just tells me that, that section of the disk is of an unknown file system, therefore meaning that I cannot create a slice on the disk. Also on the sub section where you are asked create the file system I have some difficutly with that too. The defaults won't work for this. (a key). My second problem is that when I tried to install freebsd with nothing else on the entire disk, I managed to get through the entire installation and I was able to create the entire file system but when I got to the actual start of the installation of the files the whole thing hung. I think that there might be a problem with the cd-rom drive, but I've tried the live file system on the second cd before and that works fine. Will I have to modify the kernel for the cd-rom drive.

Sometime ago I discovered very strange problem. When using dial-on-demand (iijppp on tun0) I configured following string for IP address defenition: 'set ifaddr 0 195.5.151.0/24 255.255.255.0' (listed in manpages), 195.5.151.* is 'other side' address. Default routing turned to tun0 interface. When I tried to up connection (pinging outside or smth else) I got success connection and address asignment for tun0 (checked via ifconfig), but some applications such as ftp, fetch, mirror reports 'cannot bind address' (passive mode connections are ok). After analysing IP traffic comming from my side I found that _all_ traffic (except for other local workstations which traffic is gating via my PC) originates from IP addrress 255.255.255.255. When I changed 'my side' default addrress to fixed I asked to be assigned by ISP, prroblem disappeared, but I cannot be sure whether it was occasionaly or not. Can someone comment it? I'm using RELEASE-2.2.2 with packaged ppp, nothing changed after installation and kernel recompiling.

Well, the second part is understandable; you're not going to be able to create a filesystem if you don't have a partition to create it on. In the partition editor, just take the extra (empty) partition you created with Partition Magic, delete it, and create a new partition with the unallocated space left behind. That should sort of the filesystem problem, too. > My second problem is that when I tried to install freebsd with nothing > else on the entire disk, I managed to get through the entire > installation and I was able to create the entire file system but when I > got to the actual start of the installation of the files the whole thing > hung.

The system has two 3Com 3c509 cards. I have successfully rebuilt my kernal with IPFW and natd appears to be running. I can successfully telnet from a computer on the private network to one on the public network, but the reverse is not true. The public nic has two IP addesses (A.B.C.198 and A.B.C.199) and the private nic has only one (10.10.10.1). I am trying to get A.B.C.199 to be sent to 10.10.10.2, but it stops at the firewall. The firewall is set to "allow ip from any to any". (This is afterall just a test.) I know I am overlooking something fairly obvious. When I telnet from private to public, I see that natd is working properly and translating my addresss to A.B.C.199, but trying to telnet from the public side to A.B.C.199 only get me to the firewall. I started natd using: natd -a A.B.C.199 -redirect_address 10.10.10.2 A.B.C.199 Did I do this right? How do redirect more IPs? Eventually, the public nic will have several alias, and I would like A.B.C.198 -> 10.10.10.2 A.B.C.199 -> 10.10.10.3 A.B.C.200 -> 10.10.10.4 ... Am I backing up the wrong tree?

I am trying to the the From and Reply-To headers to be set right. I can't tell what pine/emacs are doing different from the normal mail. I enabled a genericstable to map the sender address. This works fine when I send mail using the mail command, however, pine seems to use some different mode of calling sendmail. God only know what emacs is doing. Also, when I tried sending this using mail, I found that hub.freebsd.org rejected i because of a fake (local) domain name. I thought this was working, but I guess that there is more than one From in the headers. Anyone out there have a clue for me???

Wow. Now I have all of my various machines in here going through the web proxy on my FreeBSD box instead of going out and trying to fetch the page themselves. Certainly speeds things up since a lot of the users access the same pages over and over again (the FreeBSD site is quite popular :) ). Now I'd like to try and do something more fancy, and perhaps someone out there can help me out. I would like to automatically keep the most current pages of various web sites online. For example, a lot of people access http://www.freebsd.org (FreeBSD) and http://www.linux.org (Linux). I'd like my proxy server to automatically go through these entire sites, and fetch all pages, and keep checking periodically to see if any pages here get updated. (Sort of like what a "web spider" type of indexing bot like AltaVista does) The catch, though, is that I don't want this automatic fetching to cross site boundaries. For example, let's say I'm indexing http://www.freebsd.org, and I get along to a page mentioning a new device driver doohickey by Acme Computer (http://www.acme.com/). I would like it to skip over www.acme.com --ie only index www.freebsd.org pages. Obviously, this is so that my index thing doesn't run wild and try and download the entire Web to my computer, which I don't want! [I do have a lot of disk space, but not THAT much! -- like Steven Wright said, "You can't have everything -- where would you put it?"] Is there anything available (either in ports, or a Perl script that someone hacked up, etc.) that will do this?

I have both a 1542 and a 2940U in my 3.0 current system at home. Brian, I tried low level formatting it again (been through sooo many combo's, thought I'd try from scratch again), re-installing FBSD from scratch, dedicating the whole drive to FBSD, no luck. I get that 'Read error' on boot again. :( Brian, is that 1Gb drive you use at home with the 1542/2940U ??? Would it be a Seagate drive ? I've tried a "shared" disk in the partion editor, using as much of the disk as I can for FBSD, making sure the partion is indeed active, and this time I get the message "No operating system" on boot. Geez. :( I've read the man pages on fdisk, disklabel, man I just cannot get these 1 GB drives to work with the 2940 series contollers. I've got 2 brand new ST31055N 1GB SCSC-3 hard drives as of 6 months ago, 1 brand new 2940AU SCSI-3 controller and 1 brand new 2940 SCSI-2 controller, all that I cannot use! I really fail to understand why I MUST, MUST have a dos partion installed on these drives in order to get the geometry correct and for FBSD to boot. I have no alternative but to stay with the 1542 ISA controller and these 1GB drives. Yuk. Are 1542's even made anymore ? If so how much longer till they are discontinued? All I can say is that since 1GB HD are pretty rare nowdays, I do have a 2940 w/2GB w/FBSD working, maybe when the old 1GB drive crashes, this icky problem with the 1GB drives will disapear also. BUT then the 2GB drives will be phased out and I'll have this same problem all over again with the new drives at the current time. Ugh! This HAS to be a contoller/HD combo issue! I don't get it. I quit on this topic. I'm using the 1542. Ugh. Thank you for your reply's and suggestions.

This has been talked about for at least the last week in the -stable. Perhaps it's time to make subscription to the list *mandatory* before someone is allowed to cvsup the -stable bits? We're just going to get FAQ'd to death in the future if we don't do something like this, I'm really worried about that. P.S. As has been covered in *great* detail this last week, and as is also available via the mailing list archives, edit /dev/wd0a to be the fully-slice-qualified name, like the other entries. e.g. /dev/wd0s1a.

My NATd command is: natd -l -v -i vx0 -redirect_address 10.1.1.30 204.xxx.xxx.91 I see the following typical messages (from memory, so this may be a little sytactically messed up): in [tcp] 204.xxx.xxx.96:1030 -> 204.xxx.xxx.91:1723 aliased to 204.xxx.xxx.96:1030 -> 10.1.1.1:1723 in [?] 204.xxx.xxx.96 -> 204.xxx.xxx.91 aliased to 204.xxx.xxx.96 -> 204.xxx.xxx.91 Anyway, the point is that the unidentified protocol (47) is not being translated by NATd. (I checked that packets with a Lan Sniffer and they are protocol 47). Finally, my question(s) is this: Is there some way to make NATd do the translation on this protocol, or does it only handle TCP and UDP traffic? If so, is there some other way to get the MS PPTP in through the firewall to an unregistered network, or has someone hacked the NATd code to support MS PPTP? Or, how is everyone else providing MS VPN through their firewall?

With respect to the person who answered you previously, there is an easier way to avoid your problem. Instead of changing the makefile in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail you want to change the one in /usr/src/usr.sbin. Change to that directory, then cp Makefile makefile. You don't need to .cvsupignore this file since cvsup ignores files it doesn't know about by default. Then, use your favorite editor to modify makefile. You want to remove the reference to the sendmail directory. There is only one in this makefile, but if you use this method for other things there might be more than one. Now when you do a make world, the whole sendmail directory will be ignored so nothing in it will be built. I have a little script that checks the $Id of the makefiles I've modified so that if any of them get updated after a make world I can merge the changes in by hand. Here's how your entry would look, plus some stuff at the end you might find helpful if you make the world often. === Cut here === #!/bin/sh # mwprep # Help get ready for a make world by checking files I've # customized, back up /etc and add the date to newvers.sh # Last update 13 March 1998 Studded@dal.net PATH=/bin:/usr/bin; export PATH checkfiles () { IDFILE1=`grep "[$]Id:" $1` IDFILE2=`grep "[$]Id:" $2` if [ "$IDFILE1" = "$IDFILE2" ]; then return 0 else return 1 fi } difffiles () { echo '' diff -u $1 $2 | more echo '' read -p '*** Ok to proceed?

The whole compile and install went fine, but the /stand directory is still straight from my 2.2.5 CD. I suspect that lots of work has been done on sysinstall and such in the time since 2.2.5 was released. How do I get /stand updated with this fine new code? Here's something that may amuse... This quote is from the March '98 Microsoft Technet CD <----------> The most functional and sophisticated browser specifically designed to be used with the Web is called Mosaic. Besides presenting hypertext, with its links and other interface niceties like drop-down menus and scroll bars, Mosaic provides the means to view audio and video in your documents. Other browsers may have superior specific functionality; however, the best all-around browser as far as tool availability and ease of use is by far Mosaic. Mosaic can be downloaded for free off of the Internet and there are UNIX, Macintosh, and Microsoft Windows versions <----------> So they think that Mosaic is better than IE4?

Use a hacked up version of webcopy that doesn't write to disk. You can make webcopy use your proxy host, and it won't walk outside the hostname or path that you start it on. That'll preload the pages on your proxy very nicely. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.

Please accept my apology if this was sent to you in error! Dear Friend, The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it. My name is Christopher Erickson. Two years ago, the corporation I worked at for the past twelve years down-sized and my position was eliminated. After unproductive job interviews, I decided to open my own business, Over the past year, I incurred many unforseen financial problems. I owed my family, friends and creditors over $35,000. The economy was taking a toll on my business and I just couldn't seem to make ends meet. I had to refinance and borrow against my home to support my family and stuggling business. I truly believe it was wrong for me to be in debt like this. AT THE MOMENT something significant happened in my life and I am writing to share my experience in hopes that this will change your life FOREVER...FINANCIALLY!!! In mid December, I received this program via email. Six months prior to receiving this program I had been sending away for information on various business opportunities. All of the programs I received, in my opinion, were not cost effective. They were either too difficult for me to comprehend or the initial investment was too much for me to risk to see if they worked or not. One claimed I'd make a million dollars in one year...it didn't tell me I'd have to write a book to make it. But like i was saying, in December of "92" I received this program. I didn't send for it, or ask for it, they just got my name off a mailing list. THANKS GOODNESS FOR THAT!!! After reading it several times, to make sure I was reading it correctly, I couldn't believe my eyes. Here was a MONEY-MAKING PHENOMENON. I could invest as much as I wanted to start, without putting me in further debt. After I got a pencil and paper and figured it out, I would at least get my money back. After determining that the program is LEGAL and NOT A CHAIN LETTER, I decided "WHY NOT". Initially I sent out 10,000 emails. It only cost me about $15.00 for my time on-line. The great thing about email is that I didn't need any money for printing to send out the program, only the cost to fulfill my orders. I am telling you like it is, i hope it doesn't turn you off, but i promised myself that I would not "rip-off" anyone, no matter how much money it cost me! In less than one week, I was starting to receive orders for REPORT #1. By January 13th, I had received 26 orders for REPORT #1. When you read the GUARANTEE in the program, you will see that "YOU MUST RECEIVE 15 TO 20 ORDERS FOR REPORT #1 WITHIN 2 WEEKS. IF YOU DON'T, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO!" My first step in making $50,000 in 20 to 90 days was done. By January 30th, I had received 196 orders for REPORT #2. If you go back to the GUARANTEE, "YOU MUST RECEIVE 100 OR MORE ORDERS FOR REPORT #2 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF NOT SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO. ONCE YOU HAVE 100 ORDERS, THE REST IS EASY. RELAX, YOU WILL MAKE YOUR $50,000 GOAL." Well, I had 196 orders for REPORT #2, 96 more than I needed. So I sat back and relaxed. By March 19th, of my emailing of 10,000, I received $58,000 with more coming in every day. I paid off ALL my debts and bought a much needed new car. Please take time to read the attached program. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER! Remember, it won't work if you don't try it. This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rules of not trying to place your name in a different place. It doesn't work, you'll lose out on a lot of money! REPORT #2 explains this. Always follow the guarantee, 15 to 20 orders of REPORT #1 and 100 or more orders for REPORT #2 and you will make $50,000 or more in 20 to 90 days. I AM LIVING PROOF THAT IT WORKS!!! If you choose not to participate in this program, I'm sorry, It really is a great oppotunity with little cost or risk to you. if you choose to participate, follow the program and you will be on your way to financial security. If you are a fellow business owner and you are in financial trouble like I was, or you want to start your own business, consider this a sign. I DID! Sincerely, Christopher Erickson P.S. Do you have any idea what 11,700 $5 bills ($58,000) look like piled up on a kitchen table? IT'S AWESOME! "THREW IT AWAY" "I had received this program before. I threw it away, but later wondered if i shouldn't have given it a try. of course, I had no idea who to contact to get a copy, so I had to wait until I was emailed another copy of the program. Eleven months passed, then it came. I DIDN'T throw this one away. I made $41,000 on the first try." Dawn W., Evensville, IN "NO FREE LUNCH" "My late fater always told me, 'remember, Alan there is no free lunch in life. You get out of life what you put into it.' Though trial and error and a somewhat slow frustrating start, I finally figured it out. The program works very well, I just had to find the right target group of people to email to. So far this year, I have made over $63,000 using the program. I know my dad would have been very proud of me" Alan B., Philadelphia, PA A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM By the time you have read the enclosed information and looked over the enclosed programs and reports, you should have concluded that such a program, and one that is legal, could not have been created by an amateur. Let me tell you a little about myself. I had a profitable business for ten years. Then in 1979 my business began falling off. I was doing the same things that were previously successful for me, but it wasn't working. Finally, I figured it out. It wasn't me, it was the economy. Inflation and recession had replaced the stable economy that had been with us since 1945. I don't have to tell you what happened to the unemployment rate...because many of you know from first hand experience. There were more failures and bankruptcies than ever before. The middle class was vanishing. Those who knew what they were doing invested wisely and moved up. Those who did not, including those who never had anything to save or invest, were moving down into the ranks of the poor. As the saying goes, "THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER." The traditional methods of making money will never allow you to "move up" or "get rich", inflation will see to that. You have just received information that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life, with "NO RISK" and "JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT." You can make more money in the next few months than you have ever imagined. I should also point out that I will not see a penny of your money, nor anyone else who has provided a testimonial for this program. I have already made over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS! I have retired from the program after sending out over 16,000 programs. Now I have several offices which market this and several other programs here in the U.S. and overseas. By the spring, we wish to market the "Internet" by a partnership with AMERICA ONLINE. Follow this program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do not change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to email a copy of this exciting program to everyone you can think of. One of the people you send this to may send out 50,000... and your name will be on every one of them! Remember though, the more you send out, the more potential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent, IT IS UP TO YOU NOW! "THINK ABOUT IT" Before you delete this program from your mailbox, as I almost did, take a little to read it and REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. Get a pencil and figure out what could happen when YOU participate. Figure out the worst possible response and no matter how you calculate it, you will still make alot of money! Definitely get back what you invested. Any doubts you have will vanish when your first orders come in. IT WORKS! Paul Johnson, Raleigh, NC HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PROGRAM WILL MAKE YOU $$$$$$ Let's say you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we'll assume you and all those involved send out 2,000 programs each. Let's also assume that the mailing receives a .5% response. Using a good list the response could be much better. Also many people will send out hundreds of thousands of programs instead of 2,000. But continuing with this example, you send out only 2,000 programs. With a 5% response, that is only 10 orders for REPORT #1. Those 10 people respond by sending out 2,000 programs each for a total of total of 20,000. Out of those .5%, 100 people respond and order REPORT #2. Those 100 mail out 2,000 programs each for a total of 200,000. The .5% response to that is 1,000 orders for REPORT #3. Those 1,000 send out 2,000 programs each for a 2,000,000 total. The .5% response to that is 10,000 orders for REPORT #4. That's 10,000 five dollar bills for you CASH!!!! Your total income in this example is $50.00 + $500.00 + $5,000.00 + $50,000.00 for a total of $55,550.00!!!! REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING 1,990 OUT OF 2,000 PEOPLE YOU MAIL TO WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...AND TRASH THIS PROGRAM! DARE TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYONE OR HALF SENT OUT 100,000 PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF ONLY 2,000. Believe me, many people will do that and more! By the way, your cost to participate in this is practically nothing. You obviously already have an internet connection and email is FREE!!! REPORT #3 will show you the best methods for bulk emailing and purchasing email lists. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE, LEGAL, MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY, It does not require you to come in contact with people, do any hard work, and best of all, you never have to leave your house except to get the mail. If you believe that someday you'll get that big break that you've been waiting for, THIS IS IT! Simply follow the instuctions, and your dream will come true. This multi-level email order marketing program works perfectly...100% EVERY TIME. Email is the sales tool of the future. Take advantage of this non-commercialized method of advertising NOW!! The longer you wait, the more people will be doing business using email. Get your piece of this action!! MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) has finally gained respectability. It is being taught in the Harvard business school, and both Stanford research and the Wall street journal have stated that between 50% and 65% of all goods and services will be sold thoughout Multi-Level methods by the mid 1990's. This is a Multi-Billion Dollar industry and of the 500,000 millionares in the U.S., 20% (100,000) made their fortune in the last several years in MLM. Moreover statistics show 45 people become millionares everyday through Multi-Level Marketing. INSTRUCTIONS We at Erris Mail Order Marketing Business, have a method of raising capital that REALLY WORKS 100% EVERY TIME. I am really sure that you could use $50,000 to $125,000 in the next 20 to 90 days. Before you say "Bull", please read the program carefully. This is not a chain letter, but a perfectly legal money making opportunity. Basically, this is what we do: As with all multi-level business, we build our business by recruiting new partners and selling our products. Every state in the U.S.A. allows you to recruit new multi- level business partners, and we offer a product for EVERY dollar sent. YOUR ORDERS COME AND ARE FILLED THROUGH THE MAIL, so you are not involved in personal selling. You do it privately in your own home, store or office. This is the GREATEST Multi-Level Mail Order Marketing anywhere. Step (1) Order all 4 REPORTS listed by NAME AND NUMBER. Do this by ordering the REPORT from each of the four names listed on the next page. For each REPORT, send $5 CASH and a SELF- ADDRESSED, STAMPED envelope (BUSINESS SIZE #10) to the person listed for the SPECIFIC REPORT. International orders should also include $1 extra postage. Be sure to include your internet address incase of any problems.It is essential that you specify the NAME and NUMBER of the report requested to the person you are ordering from. You will need ALL FOUR REPORTS because you will be REPRINTING and RESELLING them. DO NOT alter the names or sequence other than what the instructions say. IMPORTANT: Always provide same-day service on all orders. Step (2) Replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with yours, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. Drop the name and address under REPORT #2 to REPORT #3, moving the one that was there to REPORT #4. The name and address that was under REPORT #4 is dropped from the list and this party is in no doubt on the way to the bank. When doing this, make certain you type the names and addresses ACCURATELY! DO NOT MIX UP MOVING PRODUCT/REPORT POSITIONS!!! Step (3) Having made the required changes in the NAME list, save it as a text (.txt) file in it's own directory to be used with whatever email program you like. Again, REPORT #3 will tell you the best methods of bulk emailing and acquiring email lists. You will also receive the address to a website to assist you. Any and all programs needed will be available free of charge. Including bulk mailers and email collectors. Step (4) Email a copy of the entire program (all of this is very important) to everyone whose addresses you can get your hands on. Start with friends and relatives since you can encourage them to take advantage of this fabulous money-making opportunity. That's what I did. And they love me now, more than ever. Then email to anyone and everyone whose address you collect with the programs available to you at the above mentioned site. Use your imagination! REQUIRED REPORTS ***Order each REPORT by NUMBER and NAME*** ALWAYS SEND A SELF ADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE, INTERNET ADDRESS AND $5 CASH FOR EACH ORDER REQUESTING THE SPECIFIC REPORT NAME AND NUMBER __________________________________________________ REPORT #1 "HOW TO MAKE $250,000 THROUGH MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: D.M.1 2133 Jane St. #5 Box#154 Downsview, Ontario Canada M3M-1A2 __________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: R.P.

Box 146 Gaithersburg, Maryland 20884-0146 __________________________________________________ CONCLUSION I am enjoying my fortune that I made by sending out this program. You too, will be making money in 20 to 90 days, if you follow the SIMPLE STEPS outlined in this mailing. To be financially independent is to be FREE. Free to make financial decisions as never before. Go into business, get into investments, retire or take a vacation. No longer will a lack of money hold you back. However very few people reach financial independence, because when opportunity knocks, they choose to ignore it. It is much easier to say "NO" than "YES", and this is the question that you must answer. Will YOU ignore this amazing opportunity or will you take advantage of it? If you do nothing, you have indeed missed something and nothing will change. Please re-read this material, this is a special opportunity. My method is simple. I sell thousands of people a product for $5 that costs me pennies to produce and mail. I should also point out that this program is legal and everyone who participates WILL make money. This is not a chain letter or pyramid scam. At times you have probably received chain letters, asking you to send money, on faith, but getting NOTHING in return, No product what so-ever! Not only are chain letters illegal, but the risk of someone breaking the chain makes them quite unattractive. You are offering a legitimate product to your people. After they purchase the product from you, they reproduce more and resell them. It's simple free enterprise. As you learned from the enclosed material, the PRODUCT is a series of 4 FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS REPORTS. The information contained in these REPORTS will not only help you in making your participation in this program more rewarding, but it will be usefull to you in any other business decisions you make in the years ahead. You are also buying the rights to reprint all of the REPORTS, which will be ordered from you by those to whom you mail this program. The concise one and two page REPORTS you will be buying can easily be reproduced at a local copt center for a cost of about 3 cents a copy. Best wishes with the program and Good Luck! "IT WAS TRULY AMAZING" "Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to participate in this program. But conservative as I am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that there was no way that I could not get enough orders to at least get my money back. BOY was I ever surprised when I found my medium sized post office box crammed with orders! I will make more money this year than any ten years of my life before." Mary Riceland, Lansing, MI TIPS FOR SUCCESS Send for you four 4 REPORTS immediately so you will have them when the orders start coming in. When you receive $5 order, you MUST send out the product/service to comply with U.S. Postal and Lottery laws. Title 18 Sections 1302 and 1341 specifically state that: "A PRODUCT OR SERVICE MUST BE EXCHANGED FOR MONEY RECEIVED." IMPORTANT: WHEN SENDING A SELF ADDRESSED, STAMPED EVELOPE, IF MAILING TO A DIFFERENT COUNTRY, PURCHASE AN I.R.C (INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE COUPON). DO NOT SEND POSTAGE FROM YOUR COUNTRY OR THE PERSON FROM THE OTHER COUNTRY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THAT POSTAGE. WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE REPORTS TO ARRIVE: 1. Name your new company. You can use your own name if you desire. 2. Get a post office box (preffered) 3. Edit the names and addresses on the program. You must remember, your name and address go next to REPORT #1 and all the others all move down one, with the fourth one being bumped OFF the list. 4. Obtain as many email addresses as possible to send until you receive the information on mailing list companies in REPORT #3. 5. Decide on the number of programs you intend to send out. The more you send, and the quicker you send them, the more money you will make. 6. After mailing the programs, get ready to fill orders. 7. Copy the 4 REPORTS so you are able to send them out as soon as you receive an order. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ORDERS YOU RECEIVE! 8. Make certain the letter and reports are neat and legible. YOUR GUARANTEE The check point which GUARANTEES your success is simply this: You must receive 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1. This is a must!!! If you don't within 2 weeks, email out more programs until you do. Then a couple of weeks later you should receive at least 100 orders for REPORT #2, if you don't, send out more programs until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for REPORT #2, (take a deep breath) you can sit back and relax, because YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE AT LEAST $50,000. Mathematically it is a proven guarantee. One of those who have participated in the program and reached the above GUARANTEES-ALL have reached their $50,000 goal. Also, remember, everytime your name is moved down the list you are infront of a different REPORT, so you can keep track of your program by knowing what people are ordering from you, IT'S THAT EASY, REALLY IT IS!!! REMEMBER: "HE WHO DARES NOTHING, NEED NOT HOPE FOR ANYTHING." "INVEST A LITTLE TIME, ENERGY AND MONEY NOW OR SEARCH FOR IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE."

In case anybody else is tempted, I get the feeling that Cory hasn't understood the ground rules. This is the only case we've heard of where it didn't work after people found out about the change. Cory wasn't subscribed to the obligatory list for this kind of announcement. He didn't know how to recover from the problem. And he asked about it on the wrong list.

Possibly it's a demo version of BSD/OS, in which case there's a chance that they are doing something in contravention of the license. If you can get shell access to the machine, 'uname -a' will tell you. You could also check with BSDI, I suppose.

The result is that most leading edge com- puter books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. The sec- ond edition has only just been published, but already a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. 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 docu- ment: 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 under- lining. 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 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 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.

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. 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 dis- tribution 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 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. You'll have to reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # passwd root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup Note that you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the system doesn't have the concept of user IDs. 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 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 as- sumes it can access the data from a mounted file system, and it gets quite un- happy 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 de- vice name or the directory name. For example, to unmount the CD-ROM we 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 di- rectory 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 197, first line The text of the first full sentence reads: 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 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 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.

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 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 directory sbin, not bin). Check both locations if you run into trouble. Thanks to Sue Blake for this information.

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 break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean 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 or -hackers? ========================================= Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. 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, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling 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 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. 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. 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 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 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 answer a question =========================== Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the second edition (16 December 1997), please check the parallel posting or get the file at ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have.

Of all the time I've been on -current, that was the greatest volume, one that provoked Jordan to threaten to take people off the list unless they shut up. It's not normally like that, and I reiterate (more quietly this time): If you are running -current, subscribe to the FreeBSD-current mailing list! > The other 9 looked to be technical, but had not related to the problems > with system.

[it didn't work it seems] I ran into a interesting twist with regard to this change. I caught the warning email and had successfully made the changes on most of my machines. I did the same thing on my laptop and rebooted to an unable to mount root message. Funny, I had successfully done the conversion on other machines. My laptop has a wd type controller and did _not_ have a /dev/wd0s2a entry in /dev. A quick ( cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV wd0s2a ) solved the problem.

I would think no -- the specified values would *override* those in the map, and I don't think you want to download a map that has a bunch of accounts as root:wheel with logins disabled. :) Note that FreeBSD's implementation of NIS was developed independently of Sun's, following their specifications.

Yes, and hopefully will write documentation afterward :) My laptop has an unsupported PCCARD controller and I don't have another crashbox or I'd experiment with this more seriously.

See /sys/i386/conf/LINT. Also make sure that this *really* is your problem; monitor netstat -m and make sure that the second number of the mbuf clusters line doesn't get near 2/3 of the total system mbufs (I think the default is 255).

On my PCS phone, you email the phonenumber@mobile.att.net. AT&T doesn't use GSM and the paging is a separate service but I bet other companies use a similar style service. Am I totall off track?

Try making the disk in compatibility mode; see FAQ question #8.9 for details. I had the same problem when I test-formatted a 1GB disk for the diskformat tutorial. My workstation is an ASUS T2P4-based board with the Award BIOS. I should have studied that problem further at that point :-/ I even put a warning in the diskformat tutorial, which I later removed by popular demand. I will probably reverse that and join the FAQ in printing the Award/dedicated disk warning.

FreeBSD doesn't have explicit support for I20; unless it emulates ISA it'll be an unsupported architecture.

I got bitten by the two different "dedicated" disk types issue though; that hurt. The fix is still being tested in -current, but I haven't heard any complaints about it, so I was planning to bring it over tonight. I think it was my turn to be bitten by a "this is simple and innocouous and will reduce world ugliness" change. 8( -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ 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 Fri Mar 13 19:50:13 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA28297 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 19:50:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA28157 for ; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 19:49:53 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id TAA19579; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 19:49:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 19:49:39 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Widjaja Sugiri cc: Widjaja Sugiri , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: your mail In-Reply-To: <002201bd4eee$e786dc40$50089eca@WSUGIRI-MOBL> 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 Sat, 14 Mar 1998, Widjaja Sugiri wrote: > Which one ? what models ?

In BSD/OS version 3.X, there is a procedure you can run to "register" an ID code in the kernel. This makes this message shut up. A lot of owners of BSD/OS sort of resented the inclusion of this procedure, which was apparently done for marketing reasons, and so they don't do it, and you get the message as a result. It doesn't affect operation of the system at all. I own 2 BSD/OS systems, and have never run the procedure myself--in fact, the annoying message and what it says about the goals and priorities of BSDI were two of the forces which pushed me toward FreeBSD. (But I have to admit, BSD/OS is still a damn good O/S. But, as I become more familiar with it, so is FreeBSD.) -Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 13 20:21:33 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA05140 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 20:21:33 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from public.cta.cq.cn (public.cq.sc.cn [202.98.32.111] (may be forged)) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA05121 for ; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 20:21:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from hmin@public.cta.cq.cn) Received: from hmin.public.sc.cq.cn ([202.98.33.43]) by public.cta.cq.cn (Netscape Mail Server v2.02) with SMTP id AAA7444 for ; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 12:20:41 +0800 Message-ID: <36EA9038.4177@public.cta.cq.cn> Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 00:20:08 +0800 From: hmin@public.cta.cq.cn (hmin) Reply-To: hmin@public.cta.cq.cn Organization: KH2 Co.

The problem is that my network line is not good enough(change another line and everything ok), and 3c509's error correction is not good enough(change a NE2000 card and everything ok). And my resolv.conf set "bind" first, the FreeBSD will try to touch network if I use a name (even "localhost", I don't think it's a good idea for freebsd) instead of IP. Anyway, thank you very much. By the way, I got a "land" patch for FreeBSD from BUGTRAQ@NETSCAPE.ORG which was send by security-officer@FreeBSD.ORG. It seems a little late, I got this more than two months before.

It works so in Denmark too, so it is probably the general way to do it, even if it might not be implemented yet everywhere. However, here the phoneoperators also can sell you a dos/win-program, where you enter the message, and then hit "send". The program then calls directly to a modempool, and delivers the message, and get a statusreply immediately, just as when you send a sms from the phone. A service for dialing in and select one of 5 standard messages by the keypad of the phone might also be interesting. If you want to use sms for getting alarms, it is a catch-22, if you can't send a message telling the router is dead because the router is dead... Then a modem could be used to bypass the network and dial directly to one of the above services. I have made a program in Clipper (compiled dBase) because I have a nice communication library. I'll include some of it here.

I want to change connection of my FreeBSD box from dialup to leased line, and now I have a question, because I am novice in FreeBSD world. Is it possible to use leased and dialup lines simultaneously? I want to use leased line as a permanent connection and dialup line as a reserve connection to my ISP. All I want is if the leased line goes down then my FreeBSD box automatically switches to dialup line. Is this possible? If yes, then what is better to use kernel ppp or user ppp, and how I must configure my box to realize this? Currently I use FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE. Thank You for Your time!

We only expect you to do your utmost to not overload the mailing list veterans if keeping the veterans around is something you're interested in doing (and you should be). In too many other projects you've seen the same phenomenon repeated over and over: 1. Mailing list A is a great place to talk to developers and get questions answered. 2. User population swells significantly and percentage of "how do I...?" questions goes up proportionately in mailing list A. 3. Developers, overloaded with work and deluged by email, unsubscribe from list A. 4. New users wind up asking questions of one other instead and misinformation or outright speculation begins to replace the informed answer. This has already happened irretrievably in many of Linux's formerly effective support media (like IRC's #linux channel and quite a few of their newsgroups) and the writing is on the wall for any OS group with a growing user population. The only known counter to this scenario is to somehow (and no, I don't know how we'd do it) get the new users trained early to be good with the search engines, the sources and what web based documentation there is in answering any questions which can be answered that way. Despite what one might think after observing the poor state of our docs (and you'll not hear anyone yelling louder about that than I), my long history of observing "newbies in the wild" has revealed that the great majority of problems comes from a simple _unwillingness to read the docs_. Newbies *don't want* to read the docs. Reading docs is boring! They'd much much rather go to someone in IRC or email and say "tell me what to do, dammit, I don't want to read no stinking docs!" and that's what eventually kills those media - they don't scale at high loads. Unfortunately, those media are currently about all we've got and so we're still faced with the short-term problem of too few people to answer questions, too little documentation and a whole boatload of newbies going "HELP!" in the mailing lists. Any suggestions as to how we might encourage the formation of more self-help movements in our user base would be welcomed before this problem starts becoming significantly more acute.

If I ping darkstar.tomqnx.com which is a real computer, no dial is forced. If I ping "news", which is not defined, a dial is forced to ask the forwarders for the address of news.com (eliminate this with the search command). Then the problem: It asks the forwarders for the address of "news." which is the nasty thing. It is this last recursion that I would like to eliminate. Is this possible?

I just got bitten by this about 4 hours ago -- or rather, 30 minutes ago. My main server machines reboot at a nasty time on a Saturday morning (nasty EST, that is :). I upgraded all of them to a recent (Mar 9) -STABLE kernel and mount. The main server machine did not come up. Reason? Because the slice arrangement was like this, left over from the days before >1024 cylinder boot: /dev/wd0s1a on / /dev/wd0s2e on /usr /dev/wd0s2f on /homea /dev/wd2s1a on /homeb /dev/sd0a on /homec /dev/sd1s1e on /home /dev/wd0s2h on /usr/var/mail That is, there are two slices on wd0, the boot device. The a partition (wd0a) completely fills wd0s1. The other three partitions on wd0 are in wd0s2. So the unfortunate news is that /dev/wd0s1a DID NOT EXIST. The 2.0.5 install floppy that originally built the machine never created the slice entries in /dev, and therefore the remount from root_device to /dev/wd0s1a failed. Talk about sucky. The root_device is read-only by definition, and now one is at a single-user shell but cannot write to the device to create a device node, and cannot remount to make it writable. :) While this is definitely fixable, it is fairly sucky. :) So really the text in the FAQ needs also to do this: Step 2: Verify that all the compatibility slice entries in your /etc/fstab also have standard /dev slice entries. If necessary, create them using MAKEDEV *before* rebooting or modifying fstab (do not caught with your pants down if there is power loss). And maybe references to how to use MAKEDEV. All of our -stable test machines came up fine after the change, so I went ahead and rolled it onto our main servers. Big mistake. :) Would really have sucked if I wasn't local -- which I am not 3 months of the year. Sorry to whine, but it was a generally unpleasent experience. I should have checked more carefully, but to be honest, I probably never thought to create the slice /dev entries later because they were never used. I have upgraded the machine from 2.0.5 up through 2.2.2 before switching to -STABLE and never had a problem. :) Robert N Watson Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cmu.edu/ SafePort Network Services http://www.safeport.com/ robert@fledge.watson.org http://www.watson.org/~robert/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 14 06:53:26 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA14375 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 06:53:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from admin.inetport.com (inetport.com [206.64.12.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA14369 for ; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 06:53:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from nindo@admin.inetport.com) Received: from localhost (nindo@localhost) by admin.inetport.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id IAA15651 for ; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 08:53:21 -0600 (CST) Date: Sat, 14 Mar 1998 08:53:21 -0600 (CST) From: Ken Ninh To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: telnet and login as root Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello - I am unable telnet and login as root.

What do I need to do to save a conf file (in root). Also, I run eggdrop bots, so I'm more familiar with pico than ee or vi. Where can I find pico in my files ie, /bin or /etc? Lastly during the installation, it graphically asks if you want to configure the Network or PPP, when configuring it there, what do I put under host? Do I make up a name?

Apparently sometime ago I ran /dev/MAKEDEV all which seem to remove sM[a-h] from all xdNsM[a-h] (where N is the device number and M is the slice number) entries. Actually it didn't removed them, I just know that after running this script with the 'all' argument, I had to change all entries in my /etc/fstab from /dev/sd0s2a --> /dev/sd0a, etc to be able to boot the next time. When I attempted to use the new 2.2.6-Beta kernel which eliminated the "compatibility slice" the new kernel wouldn't boot. When I tried changing /etc/fstab to mount root on /dev/sd0s2a (because DOS/95 are on sd0s1 for games) it could not because that slice was no longer valid. The solution was remake each individual slice I need using /dev/MAKEDEV and referencing my current /etc/fstab for the correct slices. My system then booted correctly under the new kernel. - --------------- Burton Sampley bsampley@best.com or bsampley@haywire.csuhayward.edu PGP key available at http://www.best.com/~bsampley/pgp.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNQqvNXt2O8KJtMdBAQHHTAP/QFUxOYXLszQg9929I65AHNfHFDYHDeLd Eca0OLy9jzyW92HPwIBrBKUkooJyhg/A4QEzdAP3N54RL9CQgkdUsHinyA7uEmeb jy9xCsVSU4GM512U60W3Sb9gKbtLdwwuu9NdEhogAGHiU35NkyRbx0x7OQ9++JBx Vayno1crHH0= =RH0q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 14 09:05:40 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA03329 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 09:05:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from uniqsite.uniqsite.com.

I'd suggest a how-to section in the WWW pages with pointers to "good?" docs that are already out there. I have to admit sometimes I go to Linux' SunSite for answers. I believe a lot of guys are doing the same.

I think one thing that would help would be a better search engine. Sometimes the one that exists can be a real beast, especially when looking for a question you've seen answered. I don't mean to slight whomever is responsible for putting it together... I recently found www.nexial.nl/search.html. This is apparently a site where Nexial shows off the capabilities of their search engine software by making several popular mailing lists (firewalls, BSDI, Ascend-users, etc.) available available through their search engine. It works very very well. Perhaps a few people from core could ask them if they would be interested in archiving at least -questions for the FreeBSD community. If they said yes, it would be an excellent resource for everyone involved in the FreeBSD project. We could point people to the search engine for the "duh" questions with more confidence that they'd find the answer. What do you all think? I'll contact them if you all wish, but I think mail from someone that represents the FBSD project might be more seriously considered... Charles > newbies going "HELP!" in the mailing lists.

In an earlier version of -stable there was the login.conf problem and also at some time the need to add something to /etc/group. Obviously it doesn't work to respond to questions in freebsd-questions (people don't read it until they run into trouble) or the newsgroup. And not everyone subscribes to -stable.

(worded? ;-)) The LAN is running now for almost two days. I disabled NIS doing DNS lookups. I also found that I had left a localhost alias in /etc/hosts (stupid). When I get brave I'll try the DNS again, but this time I'll set up the full DNS catastrophy. Anyway thanks for the feedback.

Obviously you need to login as root to do that :-) And you'd need to login as root to make the changes necessary to login as root on a network tty.

This turned out to be woefully incorrect. More verbose logging of mgetty's activities revealed that the real culprit was mgetty's attempted use of vtime. That mgetty didn't have a problem with vtime in operating on the standard cuaa ports, and too-terse logging, conspired to lead to an erroneous conclusion about broken DTR control. Rebuilding mgetty with BROKEN_VTIME (and reassigning the August comtrol driver's idea of major device #s to the one assigned in -current (i.e., 81), but this reassigment might not have been necessary under 2.2.5R...) fixed the problem.

Now, enter /stand/sysinstall, choose "Configuration", then "XFree86", and finally "XF86Setup". Then the X configuration starts, you need the most essantial specifications of your system (graphics card, mouse, monitor, and so on). After this, you can type "startx" to get to the X-Window-System.

I went there and tried to make sendmail with the TCPwrapper additions listed in the makefile. Unfortuatly it still crashes at map.c. Without the tcp stuff it is fine. I have installed the latest tcpd. I have even tried transplanting the map.c files from other systems. I also rdisted the stuff to a 2.2.5 server and it built flawlessly. Any other suggestions?

Download TNOS from ftp.ucsd.edu or ftp.lantz.com. You should download source and Linux binaries. The Linux version might run under Linux emulation but its not too hard to compile a native FreeBSD version.

I recently posted a pretty lengthy unatribe (not quite a diatribe :) on this very topic, copies available on request. The short version is that we have too many points of entry to the docs right now, and too many of the questions that pop up all the time on the lists don't get addressed in the static docs (like the web page). I've been giving some thought to this since my last post and what I'd really like to see is the faq and handbook merged into one well written handbook, and a "How do I?" page written that takes the most common queries and pulls out the relevant sections of the handbook for the user. As new questions pop up on the lists, new sections should be added to How do I. The FAQ we have now isn't really a FAQ anymore (not that that's a bad thing). And before anyone comes up with the smart-ass response, I would be glad to work on that project. However, documentation is one of the things I do for a living so I know the magnitude of the project and I couldn't justify doing it myself if I weren't being paid for it. Not to sound mercenary about it, but I have to eat too. :) I am happy to continue working around the edges where I have time, and I would also be glad to *help* with a reorganizing project. > Despite > what one might think after observing the poor state of our docs (and > you'll not hear anyone yelling louder about that than I), my long > history of observing "newbies in the wild" has revealed that the great > majority of problems comes from a simple _unwillingness to read the > docs_.

Agreed on all counts. That's why the majority of questions I answer start with, "Here's how you can find that for yourself next time." Maybe a counterpart to Greg's "How to get the most out of -questions" post with some advice on how to *answer* questions might be in order? Anyway, if people are serious about addressing this problem, point me to the right forum and we can start making plans. Like I said, I'd be happy to help.

You want to install Windows first since it has the nasty annoying habit of blanking out the boot sector. . During FreeBSD install elect to install booteasy. At startup you'll be prompted for which system to boot. . If you want to be able to mount your Windows disks in FreeBSD, *don't* use Fat32. . To run XFree86, install it during the installation procedure, go into setup, then type `startx' at the command prompt. Please see http://www.freebsd.org/ for more answers. Search the mail archives, read the FAQ & Handbook, peruse. All of this should be in the mail archives at least.

Is this correct? It's important information, and you should supply it in advance. Also, if you're runnning -CURRENT, this is the wrong forum.

That'd be John Fieber, and I believe he's made any number of public requests for help in his quest for a better search engine. The current one is based on wais and generally hated (if for no other reason than the fact that it likes to dump core a lot of the time) but it's all we could find for free. > I recently found www.nexial.nl/search.html.

It works very very well. That still doesn't solve our problem of needing something to run on www.freebsd.org, however. This Nexial thing may work very very well, but is it also very very available under reasonable terms? :-) I guess I'll ask them and try to find out.

That which we called ERRATA.TXT by any other name would be read as little. We had this errata about login.conf in the root directory of the 2.2.2 CD-ROM, but that didn't stop people asking all the time. I think that basically, we're lumbered with a certain amount of "I can't be bothered to RTFM, I'll ask somebody to do the work for me" questions. Apart from pointing these things out again and again, there's not much you can do.

Well, like most projects of this nature, the most important contribution will actually be made by the guy who comes forward and LEADS this kind of effort. Whether he does much of the actual writing or not, if he can present the "master plan", get other people organized around it, and be a good enough motivator of people to keep everyone focused on it until the task is actually completed then he'll have pulled it off and statues will be erected in his honor. OK, so I'm lying about that last part, but the rest is nonethless true.

At least, I think this has the best chance of reducing the repetitive questions. For the cdrom sets, the brochure that goes in the package should have a little note that says something about getting information that became available after the cd's were made. This can be a standard location, e.g., the location of the errata.txt file on the web site or WC CDROM for a particular release. For sources obtained with cvsup, a README file that ends up in the one directory that has to be visited (/usr/src) that either provides information or directs the reader to information is all that's needed.

I saw a few that did, though most didn't indicate they had. I'll always be cautious about believing an errata.txt after that experience, but I will read them. Either people are somehow induced to read it, or we wear the outcome. Simple.

It has a booklet which I read that tells me how to install. I study it for a week, look on the CD and find much the same stuff, read it to make sure it's the same. Make notes on paper. Then I follow all instructions to the letter, to the best of my ability. Where have I gone wrong? What should I have done different, and where am I told about that? I know I'm not a good person but wish somebody would help me to see how to become good before I sin, not afterwards. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 14 17:42:47 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA16876 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 17:42:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from imo19.mx.aol.com (imo19.mx.aol.com [198.81.17.41]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA16859 for ; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 17:42:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from HonMrBob@aol.com) Received: from HonMrBob@aol.com by imo19.mx.aol.com (IMOv13.ems) id HYWOa14703 for ; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 20:42:02 -0500 (EST) From: Hon MrBob Message-ID: <6779e057.350b31ed@aol.com> Date: Sat, 14 Mar 1998 20:42:02 EST To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: Help me!

It will likely be of help to anyone working on documentation, though more as a long term outcome rather than an initial goal. No doubt a resource list of documentation useful to those at that level will evolve naturally through their own recommendations, which is an interesting way to find out what's actually working for them. Its purpose, though, is for newbies themselves. Questions will still be asked here! but some aspects of dealing with problems can be discussed among equals on the newbies list. Let's see how it pans out. We all know what those above need, but we haven't yet heard a great deal directly from those with small enthusiastic voices, and more importantly to me, they haven't either. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 14 18:16:56 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA20205 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 18:16:56 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from allegro.lemis.com (allegro.lemis.com [192.109.197.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA20193 for ; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 18:16:41 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by allegro.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA05775; Sun, 15 Mar 1998 12:46:29 +1030 (CST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) id MAA20372; Sun, 15 Mar 1998 12:46:28 +1030 (CST) (envelope-from grog) Message-ID: <19980315124628.62045@freebie.lemis.com> Date: Sun, 15 Mar 1998 12:46:28 +1030 From: Greg Lehey To: Hon MrBob , questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Help me!

I mean, I would assume many files are > involved (in addition to atapi.c, atapi.h, wcd.c, etc.) In fact, an individual driver normally has only two or three files. Typically, you put it in the source tree in a directory appropriate for the kind of hardware (pci/, i386/isa, etc), and add entries in i386/conf/files saying what drivers it's needed for. Take a look at the places and you might get the idea; unfortunately, I can't give you a good pointer at the moment. There might be something in the handbook. If all that doesn't help, contact Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org), who is handling CD problems. He might have some suggestions.

There were situations. The situation in question eluded my testing, and whilst I had a fix for it relatively quickly, I wanted to soak it in -current for a day or two at least. The fix has now been committed; there are no legitimate disk configurations that I am currently aware of where the slice information passed in from the bootstrap is not now correctly handled. > That is, there are two slices on wd0, the boot device.

I am referring to > problems with SOA and zone information, delegation, etc.? Thanks. The very first step for you is to buy "DNS and BIND, Second edition" from O'Reilly and Associates. The author is listed as Paul Albitz & Cricket Liu, ISBN 1-56592-236-0. This is THE book on DNS, and you need help. :) The short answer to your question is no, you won't have any problems if you set this up now since no references exist to your new dns servers in the "system." That is, no one will know to look at your nameservers, so they won't. :) In fact, it would be a very good idea if you bought the book and started working on it now so that you will be ready when the time comes. You will want two nameservers at your site, and at least one off site machine, preferably two, one at your new ISP and at least one on a whole different physical network. This type of information is covered in the book. Make sure that you tell your new ISP that you want to do your own DNS so that they can make the proper arrangements for your in-addr.arpa domain now. It's possible that the company you're contracting with doesn't have your new block delegated to them, so the paperwork/idiocy can take a long time depending on who you're dealing with. From a security/reliability standpoint make sure to use a recent 2.2.6-Beta snapshot (or wait for 2.2.6-Release) and then use the port to install BIND 8.1.1. If your machines are going to be serving DNS to the world the improved performance and security of the 8.1.1 binaries is a good thing, along with the greatly improved flexibility of the new named.conf syntax. Unfortunately BIND 8.1.1 is not covered in the book, however there is excellent html documentation for it. Also, there is a port of a tool called dnswalk which you should become very familiar with. Providing proper DNS service is not easy, and it's something that a lot of people get wrong. However once you get into the swing of things it becomes second nature.

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 wonder if someone could offer me a little advice please? I have FreeBSD 2.2.5 on CD-ROM, ready to install on a recently-built system. Just before installing I thought it a good idea to double-check the hardware compatability, and it would appear that I might have a problem. My system has been built including a Hewlett-Packard T3000 floppy-controller based tape drive. This uses TR3 (QIC3095, I think) tapes. The FreeBSD hardware compatability pages only mention QIC40/80 tape drives. Am I going to be out of luck support-wise, or is there support for this type of drive, either within FreeBSD or via add-ons? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It does come with FreeBSD. If you have a /usr/X11R6 directory, you installed X. If not, you must use the ports or sysinstall to install it if you want it. You must be careful configuring it, especially in relation to your monitor, as it may damage the monitor if misconfigured. You should probably get the Complete FreeBSD or check www.freebsd.org for info, because configuring X can be a problem if you are new to Unix. -Spike Gronim spork@cncn.com "Hacker, n: One who hacks real good" --Computer Contradictionary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 15 09:30:15 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA05955 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 15 Mar 1998 09:30:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.atlantic.edu (mail.atlantic.edu [192.133.105.7]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id JAA05943 for ; Sun, 15 Mar 1998 09:30:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from hedges@atlantic.edu) Received: (qmail 10377 invoked from network); 15 Mar 1998 17:29:11 -0000 Received: from hedges.atlantic.edu (HELO ?192.133.105.31?)

You may need to give FBSD the correct boot information at the ``boot:'' prompt. Something like: ``0:sd(1,a)/kernel'' if your second drive is SCSI. `wd' if it is IDE or whatever. This sort of thing is doable given the flexibility of FBSD. But it takes some experimentation. gary -- Gary D.

I belive there is an internal version, althogh I do not know what the advantage of tat will be. As long as it appears to the system as an sio class device. I am using an external one with 230,400 baud rate rather well for several years. Never had one fail, or mulfunction in any way.

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been trying to follow, via cvsup, the freebsd-stable branch. I just rebuilt the kernel on my machine and I've run into a problem that I'm not sure what to do about. I'm using the same config file that I used with the 2.2.5-release source and that kernel works just fine. When I build the kernel and boot I get the following: the kernel is labeled: 2.2.6-beta #0 Once all of the devices have been found and checked this new kernel attempts to change the device that root is on: changing root device to: wd0s2a it then mounts swap and then begins the fsck. at this point it give the following error /dev/wd0a on /: specified device does not match mounted device. Now, I understand that it is trying to mount a different device then what I have specified in the config file: config kernel root on wd0 What I am not at all sure about is why this is. Have the config options changed with the the stable branch? Am I missing something from the config file for the kernel? My disks look like this: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 180495 43910 122146 26% / /dev/wd1s1e 1205727 944425 164844 85% /usr /dev/wd0s1e 149279 4360 132977 3% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc the actual slices on my first disk are wd0s1a / wd0s1b swap wd0s1e /var ?

The PnP manpage doesn't need examples -- it's Plug&Pray, remember?

But Mr. Johnson said he had built a kernel. He didn't say that he rebuilt /sbin/mount. Perhaps that's the problem.

There has been a great deal of discussion on this list in the last few days about this of-by-one error.

The Matrox Millenium II is _the_ preeminant 2d video card these days. The support for it in XFree86 is beta but does work pretty well; the XSuSE stuff brought into 3.3.2 may help things.

FreeBSD has some support for POSIX threads, but you have to rebuild libc to generate threaded libraries. See `man pthreads' for info.

Got any other hints? I'm having the same problem as Jason, using a 386 which used to run FreeBSD (same version, 2.2.2) but has since had its SCSI controller and FreeBSD disk and second I/O card removed, leaving the DOS IDE. No other hardware has been changed, and I've tried disabling everything nonessential in UserConfig (eventually all of Network and Communications) in case there was unseen problems. No change. The same installation diskette has been used successfully on another machine. It seems to find the hardware happily and finishes each time with /stand/sysinstall running as init and then clears the screen but leaves it blank instead of displaying the menu. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 15 15:11:46 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA26415 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 15 Mar 1998 15:11:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from healy.dpac.tas.gov.au (healy.dpac.tas.gov.au [147.109.154.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA26385 for ; Sun, 15 Mar 1998 15:11:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from C.Nairn@dpac.tas.gov.au) Received: from pc0123 (pc0123.dpac.tas.gov.au [147.109.150.123]) by healy.dpac.tas.gov.au (8.8.7/DPACV8) with SMTP id KAA24867; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 10:08:50 +1100 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19980316101110.00a3b6d0@mailroom.dpac.tas.gov.au> X-Sender: cpn@mailroom.dpac.tas.gov.au X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Mon, 16 Mar 1998 10:11:10 +1100 To: Steve Greene , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Carey Nairn Subject: Re: Make command fails, because of /dev/sbvxi0?

In the first edition, the information was correct, but since then the sources were moved, and they're now in /src (on the first CD-ROM). Thank you for drawing this problem to my attention.

What kind of UART's does your serial hardware use? My boca 6 port uses 16550A's, which I believe are only good upto 115Kbaud. I want to avoid getting an aditional serial board with 16650's.

There was a long discussion on this part several times. Lst time I triggered it under the heading of silo overflow, or some such. My undestanding at the end was that the FreeBSD way of handling this device (or the device ``genetics'') are such that at high baud rates, there will be an occsional character drop. If you locate an ISDN TA that does NOT use a serial UART, but it's own interface, and for the US market, please let me know. In the meantime I am looking at SDLC/HDLC and frame relays. ---------- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG Voice: 503.799.2313 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 15 15:58:24 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA05618 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 15 Mar 1998 15:58:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from const.

What is it about how I am using xdm that makes these error messages appear? *** Output from an xterm launched in an xdm session. const> man xterm [ Pager output ommited ] [ Press q to quit the pager ] zcat: stdout: Broken pipe const> cat mbox | more [ Pager output ommited ] [ Press q to quit the pager ] cat: stdout: Broken pipe *** Output from a terminal emulator via telnet (or xterm launched via rexec.) const> man xterm [ Pager output ommited ] [ Press q to quit the pager ] const> cat mbox | more [ Pager output ommited ] [ Press q to quit the pager ] I understand the mechanics of pipes and the meaning of the error messages. The error output appears to be legitimate. So why does the same output not appear in the telnet session? I suspect that it has to do with the order that the processes in the pipe are shutdown. Thanks for any clues.

The standard book on FreeBSD is "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition (http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm). Others that I like are "UNIX for the impatient", by Paul Abrahams and Bruce Larson (Addison Wesley) and "UNIX Power Tools" by Peek, O'Reilly and Loukides (O'Reilly).

Most likely, I searched for the wrong string. I have several systems that I want to support from a pair of local source trees. I want to keep several machines at the -stable level. My systems are connected: ---ppp------ SMP ----------+------ -stable | +------ -stable | ... | +------ -stable The SMP machine is faster and has lots of disk space. The -stable machines have limited disk space. I plan to have two trees of source code: /usr/src/... for the SMP machine and /usr/FreeBSD-stable/src/... for the other machines And, two trees of obj's: /usr/obj/... for the SMP machine and /usr/FreeBSD-stable/obj/... for the other machines I plan to cvsup -current (bi-weekly?) and -stable (monthly?) into the respective trees. In the supfile, for base and prefix, instead of using '/usr', I will use '/usr/FreeBSD-stable' for -stable. Will this work? Are there any other changes necessary to the cvsup process? Are all the paths in the cvsup process relative? Are all the paths in the Makefiles relative? On one of the -stable machines, I will do a 'mount -w SMP:/usr/FreeBSD-stable/src/ /usr/src' and 'mount -w SMP:/usr/FreeBSD-stable/obj /usr/obj'. On the SMP machine, I will clean the /usr/FreeBSD-stable/src tree. I want to do it here because it is much faster, and should work. On one of the -stable machines, I will do a 'make world'. After this, 'make installworld' should work on each of the other -stable machines. Will I may have to have 2 ports trees? Are there other things that I have to split? Has anyone tried this? I have tried parts of this with ports. I exported ports and mounted it on one of the -stable machines. After doing a 'make clean' on the SMP machine, I did a 'make' and 'make install' on one of the -stable machines and it worked. I tried this with the -current tree. I was able to make a new kernel on for one of the -stable machines and install it. Then, I did a 'make clean' in the SMP /usr/src and did a make world on one of the -stable machines. The make failed late in the game. However, enough of it worked that I was able to boot -current on one of the -stable machines. But, some things like nfs were screwed and I reverted to 2.2.5. Are there any gotcha's in this? I hate to burn all the network time if someone sees an obvious gotcha. tomdean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 15 19:51:08 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA02920 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 15 Mar 1998 19:51:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from uniqsite.uniqsite.com.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi. I wish to use the su device, which is configured into my kernel via the 'pseudo-device' line. MAKEDEV doesn't handle creating entries for this. I can't find any documentation anywhere as to the correct value for the minor device number. The man page states: The su driver provides support for a process to address arbitrary locations on the scsi bus. Minor numbers are mapped 1:1 to bus:target:lun. The lowest three bits being LUN and the next three bits being TARGET. Re- maining bits are the bus number. So, this leads me to think that the following should work (for bus 0, target 2, lun 0): mknod /dev/su0-2-0 c 18 16 But any attempt to get a response via scsi(8) returns the "Device not configured" message (the same command works fine if I link the su0-2-0 file to the rdevN.ctl file and run the command again). Any suggestions/comments?

I was able to use pnpinfo to determine that my supraexpress was at Card Select Number 2, and Logical Device 0. 'man pnp' implies that I can use 'ppp CSN LDN' command in the UserConfig portion of the kernel boot. However, when I went there, the command didn't work. An 'ls' didn't reveal any pnp related devices. Didn't see any info in FAQ, Handbook, manpages, or Mailing list archives. My question: how do I configure my pnp modem to work with ppp, so I can eventually telnet from the commandline?

Yes, FreeBSD supports the onboard 7880. In fact, for the "ahc" driver the 7880 is indistinguishable from the Adaptec 2940UW card. -- JM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose M.

Right now, I believe the only way to do this is to build a release of FreeBSD (you must first have done a 'make world'). Part of the process of building the release will create a new .../stand/ directory for you, and you could then copy the contents of that directory into /stand/. A cursory glance at /usr/src/release/Makefile shows # How to roll a release: # # make release CHROOTDIR=/some/dir BUILDNAME=somename [ RELEASETAG=tag ] # # Where "/some/dir" is the pathname of a directory on a some # filesystem with at least 600MB of free space, "somename" is what # you want the release to call itself and, optionally, which CVS "tag" # name should be used when checking out the sources to build the release # (default is HEAD). # # Please note: the vn driver must also be compiled into your kernel, # otherwise the target 'release.8' and possibly others will fail.

Wilma (Web Interface to List Mail Archives) Discovered this on Friday. Is basically a Perl interface to a Glimpse search of MHonArc converted mailing lists. Both Glimpse and MHonArc are in the ports collection. The only gotcha is that it has no provision for running a search across multiple mailing lists simultaneously. For that you need to write some code. Oh, and the HTML for the search interface is embedded in the code, rather than being in a template somewhere. I'm going to try and decouple the interface from the code over the next couple of weeks anyway, although right now the DocBook DTD migration for the Handbook (and freebsd-maintainers tasks) take most of my available FreeBSD time at the moment.

How do I run it? Someone will give you a better answer, but typing 'startx' is a start. Use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace for an emergency exit from X if you need it. You probably need to find out how to set up a window manager too before X becomes very useful. I'm too new to help there myself, sorry. > If I need to edit any configuration files could you suggest an easier to > use editor than vi. If your immediate need is to be able to edit files without making it your life's work, use ee until you want something more. It is not very sophisticated, but it is easy to use right now without study. If you happen to use pine for mail you'll have an easy editor called pico which will be familiar if you've used pine a lot. That's about it for simple editors. Later you'll want to select an editor with more features and spend time learning to expoit those features. Most people who don't like vi seem to use emacs or xemacs. They all require a fair bit of time investment to get used to, and after that you're hooked and wish everyone else was too :-) I use joe (from the ports collection) which also has a DOS(/Win) version that is exactly the same to use. It can be used very simply, or with all its bells and whistles when you learn its advanced tricks. Not many other people seem to use joe, but I find it does more than I need. Other editors exist in this category, so try out some from the ports collection when you're ready. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 16 03:10:12 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA13884 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 03:10:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from tyree.iii.co.uk (tyree.iii.co.uk [195.89.149.230]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA13868; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 03:10:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from nik@iii.co.uk) From: nik@iii.co.uk Received: from carrig.strand.iii.co.uk (carrig.strand.iii.co.uk [192.168.7.25]) by tyree.iii.co.uk (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA25155; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 11:10:00 GMT Received: (from nik@localhost) by carrig.strand.iii.co.uk (8.8.7/8.8.7) id LAA01653; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 11:09:26 GMT Message-ID: <19980316110925.13571@iii.co.uk> Date: Mon, 16 Mar 1998 11:09:25 +0000 To: Studded Cc: "Jordan K.

Precis: A couple of people (myself included) have suggested pretty much the same thing on the mailing list. No one's yet but together an outline of how the Handbook should be structured (and as John Fieber's said) the Handbook has grown quite organically. Probably the best thing to do would be for you to go through the existing content in the Handbook (at a fairly high level) and see if the ordering of the chapters can be improved, or whether or not you think some of the information should be pulled out and made into its own section (or subsumed into another, or whatever). Then get back to the list with the ToC and we can thrash it out. I've got some of my own ideas for a restructuring, but I haven't had the time to commit them to the screen yet. If you're prepared to wait a couple of days (or want to keep pestering me by e-mail until I do it :-) ) I can send them off to get the ball rolling.

Unfortunately, I have neither a better suggestion (if I did, I'd have dived on this one myself) nor agreement that MHonArc is better than what we have at the moment (even though that's essentially nothing) given the speed at which it falls over when confronted by any set of archives as large as ours.

When I said ftp.cdrom.com-class machine, I really meant it. The memory requirements of MHonArc when indexing truly large mailing lists runs far beyond what's on freefall. You need at least 512MB of memory and several GB of swap space just to do freebsd-hackers and if you tried a really large list like -questions, you'd probably need several GB of memory and a dedicated 4GB swap drive. > Hell, if the worst comes to the worst (and it might) I can FTP down the > mailing list archives to work, put them on a ZIP, take them home, build > the HTML files, bring 'em back in and FTP them back up.

Actually, this is what you are asking it to do. With the search command you're asking it to look for hosts in the tomqnx.com domain and if you can't find it there, search in the com domain. Since you aren't authoritative for the com domain, it has to talk to some that does.

I have a PII system that I had to install with a normal DOS partition setup to get to boot FreeBSD (I guess this is a known problem). Anyway I've been running -current systems on it and it sometimes dies under heavy loads while doing NFS. Last week this happened when I was using the system from home and the system did not come up again. When I got to work I found that the system had done the fscks on its file systems but couldn't re-mount /dev/rsd0a read-write! Putting /dev/sd0s1a in the fstab fixed this. The system now recovers gracefully from NFS-induced crashes. :-) -Fred Gilham gilham@csl.sri.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 16 06:45:57 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA25281 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 06:45:57 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from polaris.we.lc.ehu.es (polaris.we.lc.ehu.es [158.227.6.43]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id GAA25148 for ; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 06:45:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jose@we.lc.ehu.es) Received: from we.lc.ehu.es by polaris.we.lc.ehu.es (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id PAA25239; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 15:44:51 +0100 Message-ID: <350D3AAA.C24994F8@we.lc.ehu.es> Date: Mon, 16 Mar 1998 15:43:54 +0100 From: "Jose M.

However, the executable created uses dynamic libraries, and it's very different from the strange program that has 19 hard links in /stand.

When I use Emacs under Linux on the same machine, I can use the without problems. How would I go about changing things so that Emacs recognizes my key.

I, however, keep running into a problem since I am using a cyclades card it appears that I need to use some flavor of getty that re-inits my modems after a user hangs-up...I have tried several proposed ways of execing pppd from the ttys file with little or no results. My problem lies in the requirments that I need to fulfill. This PPP dialup must accomplish these tasks: It must work with WIN95 dial-up networking, It must run on a Cyclades card. What I have tried: I have tried calling pppd from ttys I have tried using AUTO_PPP that is supposed to be built into mgetty. I have tried calling pppd from a .login I have tried calling pppd from rc.local These are the problems: pppd will not respond to win95 or the modem isn't reinited after someone calls in. I seriously need some help on that, I would like to use mgetty simply because if I need to use a shell I would like a non-ppp connection ANYONE WITH EXPERIENCE IN THE ISP side of setting up PPP under freebsd I would really appreciate your help. wildcard -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQCNAzQ+Te4AAAEEAMOfXAPvy7YTmgOG+RtdddihcXnlSjuO8AqkaIoGM9rLvkRj XF0GY4zWlSFDR5QQU8agfyQ8YARl9ICxg8g64cm8Ejyhi87014mYcLx6j/Z4kgBp oyTCJLELjOb1mdmloMsNoiXoU7iYG8/Wnz9Hf9uCC0FE0S3A57JEJYo0aRu1AAUR tBh3aWxkY2FyZEBiZWxlbi5rMTIubm0udXM= =4A/3 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 16 08:10:28 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA10544 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 08:10:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cvrc.mgh.harvard.edu (cvrc-taco.mgh.harvard.edu [132.183.120.19]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA10514 for ; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 08:10:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from delgado@cvrc-taco.mgh.harvard.edu) Received: from [132.183.120.31] by cvrc.mgh.harvard.edu with ESMTP (Eudora Internet Mail Server 1.2); Mon, 16 Mar 1998 11:11:09 -0500 Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 16 Mar 1998 11:11:07 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Jonathan Delgado Subject: poppassd Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was wondering if anyone has modified poppassd (allows Eudora users to change their pop password) to work with popauth instead of using passwd.

On the Installation Media screen, select `File System', then specify the top level directory for the installation files. That heirarchy should be organized like the CD or FTP site.

How do I run it? You probably want to edit /etc/ttys file, and turn xdm on. There are other ways to start up X -- startx being one of the more common. By the way, it is a windowing system called X, not X.Windows.

You'll have to hack the sources in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot to ignore these commands, then install the newly built bootblocks using disklabel -B -b . You're trying to secure the system a bit from the console, I bet. This is moot; I can override it with a boot floppy.

I'd have to experiment with this, but I think natd requires IPFW to get the divert sockets.

No, certainly not psm :-) My guess is that it uses a propietary driver. The old RealTeks used an NE2000 interface, but I don't know if that still works with Fast Ethernet or not.

Do you not want it to reinit your modem? Then change the modem type in /etc/ttys (or your getty's setup file if you're using mgetty). Try subscribing to the `freebsd-isp' mailing list.

My guess would have to do with how your pager queues up the output from the zcat. Are you using the same pager in both environments? The error is harmless, though -- you're reading previously formatted manpages, and they're just catted out from the .gz archives in /usr/share/man/catX/Y.gz.

This makes it a little diffuicult for me to be sure what it is you have done. I find when I have tried many different combinations that I start losing track of what I have done. I would suggest you eliminate as many variables as possible by doing as follows: Install the 2940 and a single scsi drive into a system. lowlevel format the drive. boot from the boot floppy. Partition the disk with a single FreeBSD Partition (do not use "dangerously dedicated" partitioning). label the disk, using the defaults (thus keeping the root partition within the first 1024 cyclinders). Install FreeBSD. If you do exactally this and it does not work let me know.

(intuitive, ehh?) /usr/X11R6/bin needs to be in your path. (check .profile for your path) My favorite editor (my favorite, I happen to like it) is emacs and xemacs.

Hi, I have decided to go with an external TA now using a ByteRunner 16650 I.O board. I looked into the Bitsurfer Pro, and it only claims to do 128KBaud on the I/O port, where as the Courier I claims it can deal with 230.4KBaud. I understand why you might want to pump that much data through the I/O port to a modem with compression, but I find this a bit puzzling for ISDN. When running over ISDN, you can get PPP (VJ & BSD) compression, but that doesn't affect the amount of data going to the TA, right? It is compressed/decompressed in the OS. Is there a reason why I should care that these two devices claim to have different I/O port speeds?

It presented me with login: and password: and a console log. I typed my name/ password, and the screen blanked and then came back to the same login screen. When I typed an incorrect login, it said incorrect login, so it is recognizing me. I found the server output (included) in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors. I don't really understand how to configure xdm, and if anybody has any pointers it would be appreciated. When I couldn't log in via XDM, I cut it out of the ttys file. I kill -HUPed 1, and it was still running. So, I killed it and it's accompanying console reading proccess. I was at the console (ttyv0) at the time. It hung my terminal at the least and the system at worst, as it would just beep when I hit a key. I rebooted the computer, it fscked root (after warning about improper reboot) and then halted on the fscking of /usr. I dropped to singleuser by hitting ^C, and manually fscked /, /usr and /var. I hit ^D, and the system proceeded to boot.

The root partion is only 32MB so I should be OK. 2. The drive geometry being changed from 4019/5/103 to 128/255/63 in the partition editor is not what the FAQ suggests. Since "Extended BIOS Translation for DOS drives > 1GByte is ENABLED", according to the FAQ, the drive geometry to use is: 1010 (MB)/ 7.844238 = 128.76 -> 128 cyl 63 heads 255 sectors or in common notation: 128/63/255; not 128/255/63 as reported Does this really matter ? I say no from what I have read about this and what I have read in a Solaris section on disk geometry. 128*63*255 = 128*255*63 = 2056320 sectors 3. Since the whole disk is dedicated to FBSD, from what I read in the man pages, FBSD puts in a "phony" fdisk table in sector 0 for the BIOS. Is that why 'disklabel -r sd0' reports the geometry as: cylinders=165 heads=215 sectors/track=58 (12470 blks/cyl) ?? This geometry computes as 165*215*58 = 20575500 sectors, which is more than the 2056320 reported in the default geometry used. Does this matter ? Why did this not get set to 128/255/63 as the partion editor recommended for the geometry ? I left the geometry alone and used the recommended geometry in the partion editor. 4. On the disklabel output, what do the asteriks mean in the Cyl. columns ? I am guessing the the partion doesn't fall on an even boundry ? Does this matter ? I say no since I have 3 other FBSD machines with asteriks displayed on their disklabel outputs. WOW! Can someone shed some light on this ? What/How should I try next? This is the same procedure used to install FBSD via 1542's, except that I don' used the Auto defaults in the disklabel editor, but manually spec them.

You may run into problems if you use netscape to download it. I have heard that netscape has problems downloading in binary mode, in which case you may have to use an ftp client to download it, making sure you tell it to download in binary mode.

At a guess, I would say that you downloaded it as an ASCII file, rather than as a binary file. Too really go out on a limb, I suspect you downloaded it via your web browser. Unix uses '\n' as end of line, Windows uses '\r\n' for some reason (welcome to the department of redundency department). I suspect, that on download, your helpful downloading software, converted your "TEXT" file's line ends... thus growing it a smidge.

The last is above the maximum 50 for your monitor, so it gets removed, and you get lines like: > (--) SVGA: Mode "640x480" needs hsync freq of 53.01 kHz. Deleted. Now, your card sez: > Section "Device" > Clocks 25.18 Which means that it only supports a "dot clock" rate of 25.18. Since the first 3 modelines require minimum dot clocks of 31.5, 31.5, and 36 respectively, none of them are valid, and get thrown out. Then, the system falls back to a builtin 320x200, which is probably within your device/monitor capabilities. If your video card really does support high res mode, then you will need to get a correct `Clocks' line for your card. If not, then you might want to look at the `Doublescan' section of the modelines. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 16 20:36:51 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA16135 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 20:36:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from localhost.zilker.net (jump-x2-1023.jumpnet.com [207.8.67.23]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA16118 for ; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 20:36:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from marquard@zilker.net) Received: (from marquard@localhost) by localhost.zilker.net (8.8.8/8.8.3) id WAA07470; Mon, 16 Mar 1998 22:35:48 -0600 (CST) To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Emacs in FreeBSD Environment References: <1141744A9866D111B6C90000F8BCBC240CA586@bcarua63.ca.nortel.com> From: Dave Marquardt Date: 16 Mar 1998 22:35:17 -0600 In-Reply-To: "David Lee"'s message of "Mon, 16 Mar 1998 08:43:16 -0600" Message-ID: <857m5ulyt6.fsf@localhost.zilker.net> Lines: 19 X-Mailer: Quassia Gnus v0.22/XEmacs 19.16 - "Lille" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG "David Lee" writes: > I am running FreeBSD 2.2.5 on a Pentium 75 with 16 Mb of RAM.

I noticed that if you select the X keyboard extension (or something like that) when configuring XFree86, the ALT key doesn't work as a Meta key. If you don't select the X keyboard stuff, ALT becomes Meta. Sorry to be so vague, but it's a clue.

GNU less. > The error is harmless, though -- you're reading previously formatted > manpages, and they're just catted out from the .gz archives in > /usr/share/man/catX/Y.gz. The error is harmless and I now think I understand the reason for it. I found a clue in the bash(1) FAQ; 23) Why does bash sometimes say `Broken pipe'? If a sequence of commands appears in a pipeline, and one of the reading commands finishes before the writer has finished, the writer receives a SIGPIPE signal. Many other shells special-case SIGPIPE as an exit status in the pipeline and do not report it. For example, in: ps -aux | head `head' can finish before `ps' writes all of its output, and ps will try to write on a pipe without a reader. In that case, bash will print `Broken pipe' to stderr when ps is killed by a SIGPIPE. This sounds like my observations. For some reason, my shell (pdksh) behaves differently when exec'ed by telnetd(1) as opposed to xterm(1). I don't know why this difference exists, but it seems plausible. Pdksh may be altering its behavior based on the environment it finds itself in. Is there a program that displays the state of signals for a given process?

As somebody else pointed out (and as you can see on page xxxiv), I assume the Bourne shell (not bash) in the book. This may not be the wisest choice in view of the fact that out of the box the system comes with the C shell for root. With the C shell, you would write # foreach i (*) ? ln -s $i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i ? end I'll put this in the errata.

Thanks Chris .. I tryed the ch device - no joy - but it did lead me to the fix which was rather stupid on my part (uncommenting st and rebuild). Sorry, I grew up SVR4 and work on Solaris all day (mind pollution ?) so I didn't check his kernel or think to boot generic which would have caught it I guess. I am having probs with dump though - ex: dump 0fu /dev/rst0 /dev/rsd0s1f I get prompted for the next volume (always). I am using "dump 0fua" as a workaround but is there anyway to get it to properly recognize the density (0x24) and blocksize in freeBSD so I can span several tapes ?

All VGAs can support a 28 MHz dot clock as well. Almost any modern board will offer a range of other frequencies, though it can be a challenge to find them out. The original poster didn't say what kind of board he had, so there's no way of being sure, but one possibility would be to comment out the Modes line and see if the server can guess what clocks are available. It's certainly easy enough to try, and it could solve the problem.

I suppose I should try that too--I have exactly the same hardware, and I get exactly the same messages. But it doesn't stop me using the hardware, it just means that I can't select the cartridge automatically. I can't see anything in the messages above that suggest that the system doesn't recognize it.

It means, that when I shut down FreeBSD while having a mounted ext2 partition, instead of saying "syncing disk ... done", FreeBSD writes "4 4 4 4 4 4 " or " 7 7 7 7 7 7" on the screen than gaves up and reboots.

This is not a solution for me, because I have the following configuration +----+ | H1 |-----+ +----+ | +----+ +---+ +---+ | H2 |---| R |---| G |--... +----+ +---+ +---+ +----+ | | H3 |-----+ +----+ G is SunOS 5.5.1 and it is possible to set the ethernet card to either 10 or 100 Mbit/s. So no problem here :-) H[1-3] and R are all FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE with Digital Fast Ethernet cards. I want to set those cards first to 10 Mbit/s and test my packet schedulers (priority, WFQ, RED, RIO) when H1, H2 and H3 are all sending via R at the same time. The destination machines are behind G. Then I want to go up to 100 Mbit/s and see if FreeBSD can handle 300 Mbit/s incoming traffic, schedule it and send out max 100 Mbit/s. It is however easier to work with 10 Mbit/s as the total amount of incoming traffic is 30 Mbit/s. And since H[1-3] are also FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE I'm stuck with this strange "ifconfig media" thing :-( /Martti To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 17 03:09:53 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA17419 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Mar 1998 03:09:53 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from serv.unibest.ru (serv.unibest.ru [194.87.33.9]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id DAA17410 for ; Tue, 17 Mar 1998 03:09:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from osa@unibest.ru) Received: (qmail 14226 invoked from network); 17 Mar 1998 11:09:44 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO hole.etrust.ru) (200.1.6.2) by serv.unibest.ru with SMTP; 17 Mar 1998 11:09:44 -0000 Date: Tue, 17 Mar 1998 14:11:30 +0300 (MSK) From: Ozz!!!

Greg, I think mine is a bit different in that it does not get recognized as an "st" (SCSI tape) device. I've rebuilt the kernel and now it attaches to the st driver - I could not get the "ch" to do anything worthwhile. The uk0 seen above is worthless to me - I guess you could write a driver to control it but I haven't the gray matter or time for that kind of thing. BTW on the Archive you can get it to move to the next tape in the magazine using mt: mt -f /dev/rst0 offline It will not eject the magazine at the end however. I use this in scripts at work to eject on Exabytes too (Sol 2.5.1) - so far I've found most of the mt commands to work (fsf,bsf,rewind,blocksize, density,rewoffl, and status) for the Archive on FreeBSD. --brett-- > >>> bt0 waiting for scsi devices to settle > >>> (bt0:0:0): "IBM DCAS-34330W S61A" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 > >>> sd0(bt0:0:0): Direct-Access 4134MB (8467200 512 byte sectors) > >>> (bt0:6:0): "ARCHIVE Python 28849-XXX 4.CM" type 1 removable SCSI 2 > >>> uk0(bt0:6:0): Unknown > >>> (bt0:6:1): "ARCHIVE Python 28849-XXX 4.CM" type 8 removable SCSI 2 > >>> uk1(bt0:6:1): Unknown To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 17 03:46:29 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA21466 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Mar 1998 03:46:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cc.ac.kharkov.ua (greg@cc.ac.kharkov.ua [194.44.235.241]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA21335 for ; Tue, 17 Mar 1998 03:45:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from greg@cc.ac.kharkov.ua) Received: from localhost (greg@localhost) by cc.ac.kharkov.ua (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id NAA01205; Tue, 17 Mar 1998 13:29:38 +0200 Date: Tue, 17 Mar 1998 13:29:38 +0200 (EET) From: Gregory Edigarov To: cureman@pia.infos.ru cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Terminal type!

DO NOT PASS "GO". DO NOT COLLECT $200. THIS DISK IS IN IMMINENT DANGER OF FAILING! THIS IS A ***RED ALERT***. CAPTAIN KIRK, REPORT TO THE BRIDGE! (Sorry for the overdramatization, but I really want to drive the point home. I reall mean it -- your drive will shortly become toast.) Why do I know this? Because the exact same thing happened to me, with the exact same drive (DiamondMax 3.2 GB). I started getting these errors, I thought it was something that I had configured wrong, or FreeBSD does not support UDMA, etc. Boy was I wrong -- a couple days after they started appearing, the drive made all sorts of nasty noises and basically went poof! Unfortunately, by the time I realized I was teetering on the edge of a cliff, I had already teetered over the edge. I lost a lot of data, that I had to spend weeks going through piles of backup disks, asking friends who I have given files to, etc. to try and piece back together. If you still have a manufacturer's warranty on the drive, my advice to you is USE IT. Be sure they send you , as a replacement, the *very latest* hardware and firmware revision of the drive. If you still are within your store warranty for the drive (i.e. you can still take it back for exchange, refund, or store credit), DO SO. I advise you to get a different drive, perhaps even do what I did (below). Right now a lot of mfgr's (even Maxtor) are having really good rebate deals on the higher sized (3+ GB) drives, take advantage of them while they last! I ended up replaced this with a DiamondMax 4.3 GB drive: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0x80ff on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): , 32-bit, multi-block-16 wd0: 4120MB (8438850 sectors), 8930 cyls, 15 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S These drives seem to use a different mechanism than the 3.2 GB that failed me. (the drive mechanism sounds different, the circuit board looked different, etc.) So far (been about a month, of constant 24hr per day usage) it has performed flawlessly. I'm quite satisfied with it. The extra 1.something GB is nice too. :) The price difference was insignificant (in fact, believe it or not, the 4.3 may have even been turned out cheaper, factoring in the rebate.) - --- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.

This means that the binary you are running was built with a system that has the version 3.1 version of libc (the standard C library), whereas your system has version 3.0.

I don't think you should have a problem getting info from them, but it is probably correct that it is a properitary chip (probably with an almost complete clone of the interface of a popular chipset, so making drivers work should be easy).

ATAPI support is much better in 2.2.x release (2.2.6 will be out w/in the month, I'd guess). Anyway, you're problem is probably that the GENERIC kernel doesn't include the ATAPI cdrom line. Build you're own kernel. Also check to make sure the device exists. /dev/wcd0a and /dev/wcd0c -- "I didn't accept it.

Unlike the 8019/8029 (which are NE2000 clones), the 8129/8139 appear to be their own design and not compatible with anything else. However, datasheets that look complete enough to write a driver are available on their website (www.realtek.com.tw), and there also exists a Linux driver to crib from (see http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/100mbs.html ) [Sorry if you see two copies of this - I think I killed the one with an incorrect URL, but it may have escaped] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 17 08:12:06 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA12029 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Mar 1998 08:12:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from uniqsite.uniqsite.com.

Yes it does: the "uk" device means "unknown". :-) As brett pointed out, it didn't even recognize the tape part (bt0:6:0) as an "st" scsi tape, let alone the "ch" changer. Build your kernel with support for these, then use the "chio" command to shuffle tapes. Man, I sure wish I picked up a few more of these little guys when I found them for <$200 each!

I'm not a backup expert or that cluefull about dump. But don't you need to tell it the tape capacity? FreeBSD has a flag in dump which allows you to specify the capacity in more humane terms than having to calculate it from density, length, tracks, etc. Hummm... I couldda sworn that it allowed you to specify the number of blocks and the blocksize or the absolute capacity (e.g. 4GB) or something but I don't see this on my 2.2.6-BETA system. I do this the following which looks new to me: -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). Sorry, that's all I can offer. BTW: Amanda rocks for doing multi-system backups over the net to the Archive juke. Get it in the ports hierarchy.

If you want a user on one machine (which I'll call "client") to be able to ssh (or scp) into another box ("server") without supplying a password, take these steps: Make sure that ~/.ssh/identity.pub exists on client. It is normally there, as long as you have used ssh before. Append the contents of that file to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on server. If that file doesn't exist, create it with the contents of client's identity.pub. You can now ssh from client to server without supplying a password. -- Matthew Hunt * Think locally, act globally. http://mph124.rh.psu.edu/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.

Now that I installed 2.2.5, even when I use boot manager to tell to boot 2.2.2, 2.2.5 gets boot up, or with boot option of 0:wd(2,a)kernel, it goes in an infinite loop of rebooting the system. It's kind of strange, since even when I press F2 for wd0s2, the boot prompt is different than it was before. It's now as if I pressed F4 for wd0s4. When installing 2.2.5, I made sure that new fs would be mounted in wd0s4 and that upgrade option was not used. Related to this, even if I boot 2.2.5 on wd0s4, can I mount /usr fs located in wd0s2c under some name(ie /usr1) only to get the files from there? It would be soooo nice.

What i did to boot without typing (sd0,d)kernel everytime from the boot: prompt was to change src/sys/boot/biosboot/boot.c and made 'd' the default bootable partition... i don't think this has something to do with my problem since it boots fine (kernel.old still works) and the new kernel boots all the way until it tries to mount / Now.. when I enter the shell and type mount it shows me this: root_device on / (local,read-only) Well.. then i recompiled src/sbin/mount and installed it.. but the problem didn't fixed Any ideas???? Mmmm. maybe i have to rewrite the boot code on the disk?????

If you bundle 2B-channels, you can get 128K, so the standard speed of 115200bps is not enough. So the port at least need to run 230400bps. Also, everything is not ppp, even in isdn-land. Somebody also uses isdn for modem-replacements, running X75, or V110H/L. Here the TA does the compression, so eg. ZyXel's can do 460Kbps, usefull if you transmit plain compressable data.

They assign authority over tester.com to somebody (you?). Then only YOU can assign the names below tester.com. Naturally, I can send out mail as president@whitehouse.gov, if I want, but I can not get mail back to me, because I don't have authority to alter the whitehouse.gov-domain.

Nothing is wrong with the FreeBSD slice or the geometry, it's just that your BIOS doesn't seem to like our boot sector.

I think so, but I usually don't worry about these types of things except when booteasy is involved, since it has a lame-brained view of the geometry world.

Make sure the nameservers are set up properly and are pointing to valid name servers.

The -alias feature completely masks out the internal network that host is on, so only the ppp gateway is visible. You can do this with ipfw/natd.

This will be an excellent opportunity for those of you (like myself) whose C coding skills aren't adequate to contribute code, but would like to help. Due to the impending timetable for the release of 2.2.6 we are prioritizing things a little differently than we might otherwise. The first priority is to rewrite what we're referring to as the "FOO.TXT" documents. These are the documents that are in the root directory of each snapshot on the ftp site. Check out ftp://releng22.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.6-980315-BETA/ for the examples. We'd like to reorganize them around the following model: README.TXT - Short, general introduction, table of contents similar to the following, including some of what's in ABOUT.TXT now. Add a more prominent pointer to the www page and resources available there. INSTALL.TXT - Overhaul this a bit, add answer to the -questions FAQ, "what do I download?," move all info on upgrading to, UPGRADE.TXT - Information specific to upgrading. Pull the info from from various of the files already there, and improve/streamline/add to it. (I think someone is already working on this?) HARDWARE.TXT - This is actually in pretty good shape. ABOUT.TXT - Consider losing this, the info that's there should basically be in other places. IMPORTNT.TXT - Start with changes from 2.2.5->2.2.6 like the disk slice code, plus tidbits like /etc/sysconfig -> /etc/rc.conf, etc. RELNOTES.TXT - Ideally, someone knowledgeable should diff 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 and make a list. (Yes, I'm serious.) Barring that, we need as much good, detailed information about the changes as possible, preferably with the big shiny things up front, then broken down into "Different from 2.2.5, Different from 2.2.2, Different from 2.1," etc. I plan to tackle README.TXT, the other bits are up for grabs. Barring announcements to the contrary, the deadline for a good working draft of your work will be March 23rd, with the rock solid deadline for all work being 11:59pm PST March 27th. The other short term project we have is for people to read through the FAQ and Handbook and point out problems or inconsistencies. It would be nice if someone could provide a more clear text along with this, but details about the glaring errors are good too. The sooner you can get these things in the better. In the long term we plan to completely overhaul the documentation available on the www site and create one unified "Handbook" (hopefully with a new name). This is a very complex undertaking and plans for it are still being discussed. This work will certainly not be completed before 2.2.6 is ready. So how do you make a contribution? First step is to subscribe to the freebsd-doc list. All discussion regarding these projects will be held there, and all follow-ups to this mail should be sent there. Next, if you're interested in tackling any of the FOO.TXT docs (or if you have other ideas on how they should be structured) please speak up on -doc. Finally, if you want to be one of the handbook/faq readers, just get to it. :) Send the info to (you guessed it) freebsd-doc@freebsd.org.

Do all the binaries (passwd, etc.) need to be recompiled, or is it just a library, or something else? When I originally installed, I just said 'yes' to all the encryption stuff, not thinking much about it. Kerberos caused the (I know, harmless) "Not in correct ACL" message when I used 'su'. I got the bright idea to try to play with kerberos some. I got it basically working by reading the instructions in the Handbook. But now whenever I try to use 'passwd' for example, it tries to change the Kerberos password (which it is unable to do) and I can't figure out how to change the Unix password at all. Here is what happens: ophelia ~ 178% passwd realm SHARDING.UOREGON.EDU Old password for sharding: New Password for sharding: Verifying password - New Password for sharding: kpasswd: Could not connect to server attempting to change password. Password NOT changed. At this point, I'm not really interested in why Kerberos is misbehaving. I'd just like to get rid of it and have it off of my system completely. I've spent a lot of time looking through FAQs, etc. and I really haven't found decent information. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the Kerberos documentation (not FreeBSDs, just in general) is some of the worst I've seen. . Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I have three WEB servers and a PPP server (all with FreeBSD 2.1.5), and I would like to have only one authentication service for all the boxes. As far as I'm seeing in my first 2.2.5 installation, kerberos doesn't manage at all all the supplemental information (uid, gid, home, etc) that are essential to define an user. So I imagine that I should anyway create new users with adduser on any system where they should work, adding them later to the kerberos database and using kerberos only to assure them fast logins on the various systems. Is that right? Other three questions. 1) Is there any kerberos mechanism in the last versions of apache? 2) Is the usage of Kerberos completely transparent or the programs must be modified in order to use it? The LOGIN options of the pppd server is going to check the kerberos database or it simply checks against the passwd file? 3) Given the fact that I have a small amount of POP users already working, how to populate the kerberos database starting from the existing passwd file (and passing from MD5 to DES)?

Check http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/minotaur/ . Carnegie-Mellon has a Kerberos plugin for Netscape & MSIE. Not sure about Apache, but it can be done by a handy C programmer. You need to know the inner secrets of how to get the tickets from the plug-in... I guess it won't be easy. :( > > 2) Is the usage of Kerberos completely transparent or the programs must be > modified in order to use it?

Don't know if this has been done to the pppd. Besides, you probably can't use kerberos to authenticate ppp users since it requires a UDP connection (you should be able to use the Kerberos database, however. However, I'm no expert at the subject. Used Kerberos as a user a couple of years ago. > 3) Given the fact that I have a small amount of POP users already working, > how to populate the kerberos database starting from the existing passwd > file (and passing from MD5 to DES)? > If all you have are ppp users using pop, there's no real need for Kerberos; the passwords don't travel the net? At least not more than your ethernet segment. I'd save myself the trouble.

How can I list the tags in my supposed CVS repository in order to test it? Ran cvsup on it again tonight, it touched a few files, appended some, etc. The normal kind of thing I'm used to seeing when I cvsup /usr/src directly. Actually, I'm not used to seeing it "touch" files. Have searched the FAQ and handbook and not found much helpful on running cvs. Is there something I need to do to initialize my cvs repository first? Am I expected to have a .cvsrc file or something? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Actually, I'm not used to seeing it "touch" files. Hmm, I tried this myself with the repository I have and I get the exact same errors. I know the RELENG_2_2 stuff is in there because the main reason I have the repository on that system to begin with is so I have a local site I can use the cvsweb stuff, and the RELENG_2_2 branch definitely is showing up in there.

I think in X (at least in XFree86 3.3.2) if you're using the: XkbKeymap "xfree86(us)" in your XF86Config, then the keyboard is set up with Meta on the Windows keys (but I don't have no steenking Windows keys...). I put the following in ~/.Xmodmap: clear mod4 keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Alt_L keysym Alt_R = Meta_R Alt_R and made sure that there was a xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap in my ~/.xsession (or called somewhere in the startup of X) and things worked correctly again. -- Kevin Street street@iName.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 17 21:51:15 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA10731 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Mar 1998 21:51:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from precipice.shockwave.com (ppp-206-170-7-36.rdcy01.pacbell.net [206.170.7.36]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA10717 for ; Tue, 17 Mar 1998 21:51:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from pst@Shockwave.COM) Received: from precipice.shockwave.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by precipice.shockwave.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA00272 for ; Tue, 17 Mar 1998 21:51:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from pst@precipice.shockwave.com) Message-Id: <199803180551.VAA00272@precipice.shockwave.com> To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: devfs /dev with -current?

So which is beter Number of file descriptors compiled in kernel: dynamically allocated or 2048 ? Thanks Best Regards Abdulla Hello, I am the person who will be installing your second FreeBSD Server. I will install the software and eMail you once the basic FreeBSD installation is completed. Since FreeBSD is free, and many people use it wanting to customize it to their own taste, I always leave the software installation CD in the CDRom drive so that you can easily modify the OS as you choose. As you are aware, we are unable to provide support for FreeBSD (though we can support the commercial BSDi & Windows NT). As with all the free software, security is a grave problem. I urge you to stay informed through your local FreeBSD Support Club or mailing list for all secuirty upgrades and install them as soon as they become available. The installation of FreeBSD on your server will be version 2.2.5 from Walnut Creek. Once the installation is complete, you should install any patches for your software that where released this year (prior to the Walnu Creek release of FreeBSD 2.2.5). Though I know this is basic security procedures, I always make note to express this (many people honestly do believe servers update themselfs).

Thank you for a quick answer. First of all, the device /dev/wcd0c exists, but NOT /dev/wcd0a. curious... When I try to mount, it showed the following message; pc-freebsd# mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom mount_cd9660: /dev/wcd0c : Device not configured Then, I looked in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC, to find the 2 following lines were commented. #option ATAPI #device wcd0 OK, I made them uncommented and rebuilt the kernel. (2 hour job ... :(... Hueee) Wow. I got the message that says wdc0: unit 0 (wd0) : wd0: 534 MB (1094688 sectors), 1086 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): , removable, accel, dma, iordis wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked, lock protected wdc1 not found at 0x170 Then as root, I typed mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom It WORKED !!!!! Yesterday, I repeated the same thing, but at that time, I think I changed too many things in the GENERIC file, and once it's rebuilt, it wouldn't reboot at all. This time, with only the uncommenting the 2 lines gave me back the CDROM. Thanks everyone and hope it helps Jamie as well. -----Original Message----- From: Paul T.

I tried to log in via kermit to the dialup site, logged in as the ppp user/password and after 3 or 4 seconds I get logged out/hung up. I didn't see any ppp protocol characters. It seems that the peer side is sending something (in the case of Win95 and FreeBSD (iippp) peers the connection works) It's only the linux peers that don't work. Maybe the ppp-aware getty/ppplogin is just waiting for the peer side to send something and in the linux case (which is using pppd as well on the peer side the peer expects the server to be active on connection). > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- --Chris Christoph P.

Instead of (primary) clicking on the links to download them, click on them with your secondary mouse button (normally, the primary is the left button, the secondary is the right button, but you might have changed them).

I can do dired from this alpha to any of the other servers in the office (DEC, SUN) with no problem but to the FreeBSD box I get this error. I do not get this problem running the other way round. Emacs on the FreeBSD box with the DEC filesystems NFS mounted. I also don't get a problem on our NT boxes using SAMBA - the Alpha is the main SAMBA machine as well. I assume that I have misconfigured something somewhere but I'm not sure if it is on the Alpha or the FreeBSD box. Both machines are in each others hosts.equiv file and I can see nothing different in their respective setups. I've posted this to both the FreeBSD list and the osf managers list and I hope someone can help as this is annoying me.

I am a new user to FreeBSD. I set it up on a 486 box recently for one of our customers who wanted a permanent connection to our network via a permanent analog line. The setup works very well, but I have 2 small problems: 1. Although the modems we use can work at speeds of 28.8 K, I can't get the FreeBSD ppp to work at more than 9600 bps. If I try to set the speed to anything higher, and use the 'terminal' mode of ppp all I get is garbage from the terminal server instead of its login prompt. Is there any setting I need for higher speeds, or maybe compression? The terminal server can support upto 115200, so that's what we'd like to use for maximum throughput. The I/O card has a 16550A UART chip, so it can handle 115200 bps. I normally start up ppp on the box as follows: ppp -ddial -alias direct-client There is no dialling required on this line, as it is a permanent connection; it's somewhat like having a null-modem cable between the FreeBSD box and our terminal server, which is a Livingston portmaster 2E. Any help would be highly appreciated. 2. I read the man page for ppp to learn how to use port aliasing. Specifically, I wanted to redirect connection coming to the FreeBSD box on port 25 to be redirected to an NT server on the same network, since the NT box is the mail server. However, the following command failed: alias port tcp 192.168.0.2:25 208.208.120.201:25 ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NT box FreeBSD box Currently, I'm running a mail server on the FreeBSD box which simply collects incoming mail and the forwards it to the NT box. This isn't the best scheme, as it is slower and wastes time and resources. What am I doing wrong here? -- Anand A priest was walking along the cliffs at Dover when he came upon two locals pulling another man ashore on the end of a rope.

I set it up to dial into my ISP (the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook are first-class BTW, I followed them from start to finish, rebooted and dialled in first time - well done whoever wrote them ), and it all works OK apart from one small problem, which is annoying more than anything else. When a connection is made I get the prompt "ppp on marder-1" (lower case 'ppp'), eventually this changes to "PPP on marder-1" (upper case 'PPP') which, if I understand it correctly means that I am now logged into the network. However I still get "host has no DNS entry" when I try to access a Web page and "no route to server" if I ping the ISP's nameserver. But, if I type "add HISADDR 0 0" at the ppp prompt everything works OK. The entry in my ppp.conf is as per the example in the handbook (except for the phone no. etc.) which includes the 'add...' string. It would appear that it is necessary to wait before sending this string, but I can't work out how to do this in the ppp.conf entry. Any ideas? My second problem is that I need to dial into the network at work. The modem I dial into (USR Courier v.34) has the password set on it but I never get to see the password prompt. In Windoze NT4 I simply cloned the phonebook entry for my ISP, changed the phone no. and added the option to pop-up a terminal window after dialling. The modems' password prompt appears in this window, enter the password, dismiss the terminal window and NT logs me into the network. How do I get to enter the modem password using FreeBSD's user PPP?

OK, this check is what I was missing in this picture. I wonder how this verification process works, though. If I have a person's public key, how can this person (using his private key) prove to me that it indeed is his?

I boot from a floppy, and after setting up a 1 GB SCSI drive with a FreeBSD bootable partition, I proceed to install from CD. I have a SCSI CDROM drive being accessed through an Adaptec 2540 SCSI controller. The installation begins ok and several of the bin.* files are read from the bin directory on the installation CD. It get about 20% into the installation and halts with an error saying: Failing to find bin/bin.ap on this media. Reinitializing media... After rebooting to Windows 95, I examined the installation CD to see if the bin.ap file was on the CD in the appropriate directory and it is. I tried the installation twice to no avail. I can't understand why it is able to find the initial bin files and not bin.ap, which is located in the same place, unless I have a bad CD. Do you have any suggestions?

Consult http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ from /usr/ports/graphics/tiff; This software provides support for the Tag Image File Format (TIFF), a widely used format for storing image data. Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing simple manipulations of TIFF images on UNIX systems, and documentation on the library and tools. A small assortment of TIFF-related software for UNIX that has been contributed by others is also included. The library is capable of dealing with images that are written to follow the 5.0 or 6.0 TIFF spec. There is also considerable support for some of the more esoteric portions of the 6.0 TIFF spec. SGI has also added html-documentation in addition to man-pages.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG FYI Intro: A while back I reported problems with Windoze95/FreeBSD on a P-II machine (266MHz) and a 3Com ethernet controller. The problem appeared to originate in a conflict between FreeBSD and W95 on how the 3Com 900XL Combo ethernet card should be configured regarding media type (utp/aui/bnc). Re. previous mails on freebsd.questions. By "downgrading" W95 to an older version (primo 1997), the system runs as well as expected. Background: Initially the machine came with W95 preconfigured from our distributor. I went ahead and partitioned the disk, and installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 and the OSBS boot manager. After the initial trial run of W95, and before FreeBSD installation I configured the 3Com card with 3Com's configuration utility, setting media type to BNC and proceeded to test the card, all OK. FreeBSD ran OK, but W95 performed as on a 386 with not enough memory, taking minutes to boot. Staring Word, Excel etc. also resulted in long delays. I also tried another 3Com card (Etherlink II/16, ISA) to no avail. I put a network analyzer on that particular network, but there were no network activity during the hang-situations with W95. After fiddling around with with both the HW and SW configurations in W95 and FreeBSD, I decided that I should try to install another version of W95, under the theory that the problem originated either in Asustek BIOS or Windows 95 patches (or rather lack of). I did not find any newer, so I installed an older (non OEM) version of W95, and presto, everything was OK. Conclusion: * No HW conflicts detected. * No network activity while hanging in W95. * FreeBSD performed incredibly well during the whole ordeal. * Our distributor had the machine for testing, reinstalled another OEM version of W95 (new), worked OK initially, but same problem after a FreeBSD run! * Asustek MB BIOS settings review OK. * 3Com 900XL may result in dismal NFS performance, but it works. * Windows 95 reinstalled off the original CD, same problem. - Seems to be related to newer versions of Windows 95.

And english is not my native language... Completely reboot your system. The Adaptec SCSI controller will give you a chance to enter its configuration menu and/or its SCSI disk utilities by pressing Ctrl-A. The utilities allow you to scan your disk and to remap the bad sector(s) to good ones. One nice feature of SCSI disks is that they are able to hide bad sectors. UNIX systems are not strong in working with uncomfortable disks ... K.

The only reason I kept Linux on my system as long as I did (about two weeks) is because Emacs worked flawlessly in text mode right away. It isn't so easy in FreeBSD, but I think this is what you're looking for: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1004671+1015107+/usr/local/www/db/text/1997/freebsd-questions/19970629.freebsd-questions It's an old posting (circa Jul 97) complete with a keymap. A good rule of thumb when it comes to posting to "questions" is to always check the archives first. You would be absolutely amazed at what you can find. Anyway, extract the keymap from the rest of the message, store it somewhere sane (like /usr/share/syscons/keymaps), name it something sane (like emacs-safe.us.kbd), and do: # kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/emacs-safe.us.kbd Then play around with Emacs, see if you like it. If you do, then edit your /etc/rc.conf and change the line: keymap="NO" # keymap in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/* (or NO). to: keymap="emacs-safe.us.kbd" # keymap with support for ALT-bound META Note: This keymap will also set your backspace key to send delete instead of '^H'. If you want an explanation as to why all of this is necessary, you can read this posting, also from the archives: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=152538+156990+/usr/local/www/db/text/1997/freebsd-questions/19970706.freebsd-questions Hope this helps! A note to the FreeBSD team: It seems that this question, or slight variations thereof, has been asked frequently enough to deserve a place in the FAQ. I would be willing to write such an entry if that would speed its inclusion. Also, would there be any benefit gained or lost by including the keymap referenced above (or a variation) in the next release? Cheers! -Jeff Transformers - They're more than meets the eye!

At least ssh won't be sending the root password in cleartext over the net, but you may still prefer that administrators have to "su" to become root. If you want to disable root logins, then add: PermitRootLogin no to /usr/local/etc/sshd_config, and restart sshd. There may already be a "PermitRootLogin yes" line, in which case you should just change the "yes" to "no". -- Matthew Hunt * Think locally, act globally. http://mph124.rh.psu.edu/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.

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 Doug will probably answwer this.... Finally got around to installing a 4.3 gb drive the other day. Installed win95, (have to for some issues). I made partitions in fdisk as follows: c: as 1 gig d: as 1 gig the rest I left so have bout 2.1 gb left for fbsd. Installed 95 on c got it working. I booted a 2.1.7 install disk and used the last 2.1 gb for bsd, auto partitioned and want to do a local ftp install from a 486 that Ive been using for over a year as a dedicated bsd machine. I mounted the install cd under: /var/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7-RELEASE then supplied the pertenent info for setting up IP, gateway, netmask etc. in the new install. It then asks where you want to ftp install from, I choose select my own site URL it brings me to the screen: ftp://192.168.0.2/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7-RELEASE 192.168.0.2 being the ip of the 486. But it gives me the error of not being able to find the dir specifed. I also used the machine name but the 486 just dials out to resolve the host name, which of course doenst exist so it error out there too. I have setup in options the anonymous user instead of ftp user with an email password. In windows I can ftp and telnet to the 486, and I'm using the 486 as a gateway so I know the machines are talking to each other as I can use netscrape to get out via the 486. Any other issues I can look at here? can I use an IP addr at the ftp:// dialog box? Have I go the CD mounted corectly? Though one thing that did get done was the bootmgr got installed even though bsd isnt. thanks for any info as now with all this hdisk realestate I can try things like cvsup and other little goodies.

This isn't a BSD specific question, as I have seen it happen on other systems. but perhaps someone knows the answer. When using xterm and emacs (versions don't seem to matter), shortly after using the mouse in emacs, it becomes broken in currently running xterms: when I click the mouse in an xterm, I get garbage. Two characters (the value seems mouse position dependant), '#', and the same two characters. The only way to fix is to quit and restart the xterm. So, what is causing this? And how do I make it stop happening? Is there a better way to fix that restarting the xterm? Thanks, +C -- Thinking of purchasing RAM from the Chip Merchant?

You need to build a kernel that matches the rest of the world you just built. Go into /sys/i386/conf, create a configuration file for your system, run config, cd to the compile directory (../../compile//), do a make depend, a make all, and a make install. Go to /root, cp /kernel /kernel.good If your did it right, when you reboot, you will be using a new kernel based on the same source tree as ps, et al. If not, well, at the boot prompt, tell it to boot off of /kernel.good, and fix your config file. +C -- Thinking of purchasing RAM from the Chip Merchant?

I do not have access to newsgroups or IRC as such, and the information I am interested in is not listed in the FAQ to the best of my knowledge. I have a dynamic drive overlay on my primary (and only) hard drive. I was wondering if installing FreeBSD will kill the overlay when it goes to install. This is obviouslly of some concern to me, because without the overlay in place to "trick" the system into recognizing my 1 GB HD, the HD is inaccessable. I am running a 486 dx2 66 with 8 megs of ram, the HD is a Maxtor 1.2 gig, and currently have Win95 installed one 1 partition. Thank you for any help you can offer.

The way ssh is set up is that you generate your private key, then the information in the private key is used to generate your public key. The ssh program knows how to fit the pieces together when you try to make a connection. If you want a lot more detail than this try installing pgp from the ports and read the essays that are included there. The system in ssh is very similar.

Sorry if this is a silly question (I'm not entirely sure what 'type' means in this context) but I'm wondering if this answer applies to my configuration where I have both FreeBSD and Linux installed on my second HD. FreeBSD sees the disc as: Name Ptype Desc Subtype wd3s1 2 fat 6 <-DOS d: wd3s2 3 freebsd 165 <-FreeBSD wd3s3 4 extended 5 <-Linux and Linux sees wd3s3 as a succession of partitions named hdd5 to hdd9. FreeBSD boots and works perfectly but I've been unable to boot Linux since installing it. The FreeBSD boot manager doesn't seem to be able to see the Linux partition, OS-BS doesn't seem to be able to boot from a second disc and the Linux LILO boot manager failed to install (don't know why yet). Any suggestions will be very welcome (including "it's not possible" to save me wasting more time :-). Perhaps I should buy a third disc?

It worked great until last week. A power failure left many bad blocks on my hard disk (Seagate ST36450, IDE), both in my swap partition and my home partition. I looked through the handbook and FAQ and man pages, bad144 and badsect are the only thing I could find. I tried to use bad144 to correct it, but it complained about too many bad blocks in a slice. It seems that bad144 can only handle 126 bad sectors per slice and I got too many. I couldn't use badsect because (1) my swap partition is corrupted; (2) I don't know how to generate a list of all bad sectors. I also tried to reformat my partition using /stand/sysinstall. It seems that it also relies on bad144, and newfs simply doesn't do surface check at all. So this try failed again. Does anybody know any solution to mark these bad blocks so that they will not be used again? Is there anything like Norton Disk Doctor or Sun's format in FreeBSD? Thank you very much. - Haobo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 18 13:58:24 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA02857 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 18 Mar 1998 13:58:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from rtp-cse-188.cisco.com (rtp-cse-188.cisco.com [171.68.110.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA02837; Wed, 18 Mar 1998 13:58:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from chelliot@cisco.com) Received: from localhost (chelliot@localhost) by rtp-cse-188.cisco.com (8.8.5/CA/950118) with SMTP id QAA18263; Wed, 18 Mar 1998 16:57:41 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 18 Mar 1998 16:57:40 -0500 (EST) From: Chris Elliott To: Chris Shaker cc: bsd-users@cisco.com, linux-users@cisco.com, chein@cisco.com, "Jordan K.

Ugh, I'd rather not as I want to do a full install of fbsd and it seems as though my atapi 2x speed cdrom is not probed under fbsd so I cant use it. But as I think about it, a bin install get it working then I can ftp manually over to the 486 and get the rest of it. hmm, that might be an option after all. Thanks!

Suppose you pick some plaintext, encrypt it with my public key and send it to me. If I can then tell you what the plaintext is, then I must be the holder of the corresponding secret key.

i installed freeBSD and i am having major trouble getting the network to function. i have the BSD machine and an NT machine on a 10BaseT Ethernet. the BSD machine has an Intel EtherExpress 16, which took a while to get configured, but now seems to work properly. according to the freeBSD handbook, and the output from ifconfig and netstat, everything should be working.

i believe the problem is NOT hardware, because if i reboot the BSD machine into Win95 (uh! blasphemy!) both machines see each other just fine.

here is--roughly--what i have tried so far:

ping from BSD
-------------
o no response
o kick off tcpdump in background, try again
  - now I see arp frames (who-has/tell)
o add NT arp entry on BSD, try again
  - now see ip frames (icmp echo request)
  - hub activity: Tx & Rx light BOTH ports
  - however no response comes back
  - NT shows no frames incoming

ping from NT
------------
o timed out
o start utility which shows frame type and count, but that's all
  (unfortunately i could not find an NT port of tcpdump), try again
  - now I see arp frames (i assume who-has/tell)
o add BSD arp entry on NT, try again
  - now see ip frames (i assume echo request)
  - hub activity: Tx light for BSD, Rx for NT (why only 2? and if so,
    i would expect them to be the other way around...)
  - no response comes back
  - BSD shows no frames incoming
 

does anybody have any ideas? i am kinda stuck...it's a bit difficult to install software without the network running :(
TIA

If you want to run -current, you should really subscribe to FreeBSD-current. There is no excuse not to. In this particular case, if you had been subscribed to -current, you would have learnt that the March 15 snap is probably the worst version of FreeBSD-current you could have got in the last two or three years. It destroys file systems in a matter of minutes. Don't use it.

owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Our company is preparing to release two new products which will be available for the FreeBSD operating system platform. I would like to know the guidelines for using a small FreeBSD logo graphic on our web pages advertising those products as well as on the product packaging and/or documentation. The purpose of these images would be to identify that each product is compatible with the FreeBSD operating system, and there would be one such image of approximately equal size for each platform supported by a multi-platform product.

I was reading the section in the documentation about using a FreeBSD machine as a gateway. Would this mean that I could use a phony set of IP's, like the numbers that are unused, then run a firewall/proxy server on the BSD gateway, and have the BSD box be the actual IP? If this is the case, would I be able to run say a quake server on the BSD machine and other processes while using the other computers?

I read in the hardware compatibility list that the Arnet Smartport 8 port card is supported, but how do you install it, where are the drivers? The only drivers available are for sco unix and svr4 unix (digi intl's ftpsite). Also, it has become obvious that I am going to have to recompile the kernel, but since this is my first experience with freebsd I am not sure if the current kernel settings are reflected in the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file, because I just happened to browse the file and noticed the network interface card information did not match my current configuration parameters.

If you don't have any other tape drives then the default tape device for most commands will be correct. At least it is for tar and mt. "mt stat" all by itself should work, using /dev/nrst0. Tar uses /dev/rst0, as does dump. At least that's what their man pages say. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Date: Wed, 18 Mar 1998 20:41:57 -0500 From: Brian McGovern Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been having some problems within making releases from the RELENG_2_2 tree. Using both the cvs-supfile, and stable-supfile from /usr/share/examples/cvsup, I've tried downloading the source code and doing a make release on it. It always dies in the kerberosIV directory, usually on libroken. After looking, the only file in the directory is a Makefile, and it refers to files that aren't in the tree. If I then take the next logical step and comment out building libroken, it eventually dies on some of the other kerberos utilities. After several hours of commenting and makeing rerelease, it keeps dying. Has something happened to the CVS archive thats causing this? (as I'm not tracking current). I'm on the -current and -stable mailing lists as of last week, and haven't seen anything on this issue. -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Mar 18 17:52:34 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA14949 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Wed, 18 Mar 1998 17:52:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from allegro.lemis.com (allegro.lemis.com [192.109.197.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA14936 for ; Wed, 18 Mar 1998 17:52:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by allegro.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA11554; Thu, 19 Mar 1998 12:22:06 +1030 (CST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) id MAA24353; Thu, 19 Mar 1998 12:22:05 +1030 (CST) (envelope-from grog) Message-ID: <19980319122205.36789@freebie.lemis.com> Date: Thu, 19 Mar 1998 12:22:05 +1030 From: Greg Lehey To: lavalamp , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Hate to ask ...

In fact, it looks pretty much like my machine. If you don't already have the K6, consider buying the /266. They're a newer stepping and run much cooler. If you do get (or have) the /233, make sure you have a sufficiently large cooler. > Any glaring errors in that? Will any sound card work?

I'd ask around for a local provider in Singapore. If you are truly umbituous, you can manage things directly through the InterNIC at http://rs.internic.net/ In any event, registration for a top-level domain, like .com, costs $100 for the first two years. If you want to save time and money, you should confer with your Internet Service provider to see about getting a name under .sg domain, which is likely cheaper and easier. -dan On Thu, Mar 19, 1998 at 10:53:53AM +0800, Alexis wrote: > Hi > > My name is Alexis.

Actually, I'm not used to seeing it "touch" files. `cvs log src' Was /usr/src checked out from your CVS tree, by chance? If it wasn't, CVS may be having trouble figuring out what you're talking about. Check this by looking /usr/src for a CVS/ directory. > Am I expected to have a .cvsrc file or something? Not required, but you might want to have one that specifies diff to use unidiffs (-u) as per common usage.

What is the `freebsd boot manager'? booteasy? no clue about the rest. Most systems probably won't recognize a DOS extended partition as actually bootable though, it goes against the usual DOS universe. My suggestion would be to migrate it to a native Linux partition and try that.

I know that FreeBSD works with CERT. These are also vendor bulletins, not official cross-platform advisories, and they are somewhat in reaction to existing bulletins (the LAND attack particularly).

I am a current user of FreeBSD and of Linux. I have always wanted to see a site that has all the information for unix and in one place. Anyways I would like the permission on having a local copy of the FAQ on my site www.unixonline.com. The only changes to the FAQ would be of background colors and text color bascially keeping the same look of my site. I will not take ANY credit for the work that has been done, I know of the work it takes to write all that information since I am presently writing a tutorial on FreeBSD myself. With that said I hope that you grant me permission to keep a local copy. Steven Clark webmaster@unixonline.com P.S. The tutorial I am presently writing will have a big section on unix basics and I am going to submit it to the committee of the handbook,since it really needs some information on unix basics.

I was completely unable to install 2.2.2 on my laptop because it had too many bad sectors. 2.2.5 however installed perfectly for some reason. (I think bad block handling has improved between the two releases) Just be sure to, when configuring the disk (the FIRST screen) hit "b" (or something like that) on your FreeBSD slice to check for bad blocks. - --- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.

So I put another NE2000 compatible card (D-Link DE220E-CT) to the machine and I give the IRQ-5 to that card and the device is ed1.

As a comparative "newbie" muself, and one who has yet to build world (I'm still using the 2.2.5 CD Release) I whole heartedly concur Let's see a realy "good, stable" 2.2.6 release, and if there are special concerns, document them well so that the upgrade is as painless as possible with possible pitfalls well marked.

I have spoken to Compuserve Technical Support again ... and there response is just the same namely "We only support PPP through our own software ...". I am firmly of the opinion that the PPP run by Compuserve is sufficiently non-standard that further efforts to connect are not worth the effort. I have notified Compuserve of my intention to terminate the agreement and seek an ISP who is capable of meeting my requirements. I am adding this to "Freebsd-questions" to serve as a warning to others who may be using Compuserve. Malcolm G. Boff Sylmex Ltd.

I have two net-cards type "ed". For building kernel I write in config file this strings: "device ed0 at isa? port 300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr" "device ed1 at isa? port 320 net irq 11 iomem 0x????? vector edintr" Wich value I must write for parameter "iomem" for the secund card? 2. I take the secund language "Russian". I write corresponding value for the parameters "keymap", "font8x16" etc. in /etc/rc.conf file. And the system works fine, I can switch my keyboard between English and Russian by Capslock. But if I run mouse (Microsoft or PS/2), the some russian letters, for exampl corresponding english "g" and "h" are missing. Instead of russian letters I see some strange symbols. What can I do for restoring the russian letters? Thank you in advance. ===================================== Igor Lazarev, System Administrator.

This guy is right, the PS/2 mouse is not enabled in GENERIC. 1st, you need to make sure psm0 is in the /dev directory. if not do a MAKEDEV psm0 next, you need to reboot and at the boot prompt ('boot:') type '-c' when you gettin to the prompt type 'enable psm0' then 'exit' It took me a while to figure that out. > > PS/2 mice are disabled by default in the GENERIC 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 Hi, All: [P133, three-button mouse on cuaa1/sio1/COM2 set to Mouse Systems (yes), Diamond Stealth64 Video 2001 w/ 1 MB of memory (yes, 1MB the card is over 2 years old, this is how it came). It all works in Linux, so the hardware is OK.] My problem: About a week and a half ago I did a reinstall of FreeBSD 2.2.5 on a Friday night. It went fine, and I got X up and running, mouse working, etc. VERY cool; very happy. I left the machine running and returned to it Sunday night/Monday morning--didn't touch the machine in the meantime--and X crashed when I tried to startx. Now, startx _had_ worked on Friday. Somehow X got hosed with no input on my part. Strange? Since that time I have been unable to get X to behave again. I have reinstalled both /etc/rc.conf and /etc/XF68Config, the latter numerous times. I can get X up with the mouse in /etc/XF86Config set as /dev/sysmouse, but there is no mouse movement at all. Trying to start X with the mouse as anything but /dev/sysmouse causes X to crash and I have to do a control-alt-delete. With /dev/sysmouse X comes up looking dandy, just no mouse input at all. The cursor appears in the center of the desktop, looking very pretty, but will not move at all. I can only get to configure /etc/XF86Config via xf86config or xf86config in /stand/sysinstall; XF86Setup or XF86Setup via /stand/sysinstall crashes or just returns me to the command line. I know from the past that if I can't get XF86Setup to work and get the mouse working within it, then X and the mouse will not work. All this seems to indicate that there is a problem with another configuration file beside /etc/XF86Config. Where should I look for this file? The advice I have found in the archives, and that I have received in the past all discusses only /etc/rc.conf and /etc/XF86Config. In /etc/rc.conf I have moused turned off, but as I said above, X crashes with the mouse set to anything I can think of but /dev/sysmouse (i.e., /dev/cuaa1, /dev/mouse, /dev/sio1). I apologise for a long email on an old topic, but it really is quite frustrating. X in FreeBSD is a little problematic, or so it has been for me; I got it running in 2.2.2, but after several reinstalls--suddenly one time it just worked, and I couldn't think of anything different I had done that time. I would like to go on to something else. Problems with getting X and mouse to work got old a long time ago. Thanks, people. Chris Booth ___________________________ Christopher J.

After hearing rumors about FreeBSD for sometime, I finally came across your website. It looks like you folks really have a great product! I am looking forward to messing around with it! I do have some questions about FreeBSD however: 1) If I have a machine running Win95, can FreeBSD use the existing FAT filesystem or will I have to repartition the hard disk? 2)Is there a Java Development kit 1.1 or better for FreeBSD? If not how about the Java VM? 3)Will GNUStep and the NeXT desktop clone run on FreeBSD?

I have turned on "ypserv" and "ypbind" on FreeBSD but get errors whenever I try to send mail from the Solaris box to the FreeBSD box[cannot bind etc]. In addition I get other RPC errors etc too numerous to itemize, My question is exactly what options and daemons do I need to turn on in /etc/rc.conf to enable my FreeBSD server as a NIS server. I have tried various combinations with no success. Whenever I turn ypbind on, my PPP autodial quits working for no reason.

Two ways to do it: one is to set up procmail as the default local delivery agent. the other is to include "| /procmail " in your .forward file. I've never done the second method, but it should work.

It will not work. The lp print services will not work in 2.6. When 2.6 was made lp was out and sunsoft print client/server. Also 2.6 does not come with drivers for printers. You will need to get the printing package from sunsoft. so your box can be a print server.

The commands "uptime" and "top" on FreeBSD both obtain three values from the array "_averunnable" in the kernel, and then each divided by FSCALE(a system constant.) right away as their "load average". One of my questions is how those three values in the "_averunnable" be generated by FreeBSD kernel. In other words, what factors does FreeBSD kernel depend on to decide the term "load average"? I know the value of FSCALE on FreeBSD is 2048, because I printed the constant in a test program. And on SunOS, FSCALE is 256. What is "256 scale array" or "2048 scale array"? What does they mean?! And why do we have to have the value in "_averunnable" divided by FSCALE ?! p.s.: I know that "_averunnable" is a kernel variable, and we can get the "load average" in the file "/dev/kmem" with this variable. p.s.: Please reply to "hjchen@pine.iecs.fcu.edu.tw".

On the network at work, we would like the ability to match ethernet addresses (e.g., 00:a0:24:12:34:56) to IP addresses. The output for `arp -a' is confusing. It shows more IP addresses than there are hosts in our DNS namedb tables, but not a full listing of all the machines on the network. What other than explicit action, updates the arp tables? Some time ago, `arp -a' showed me many more entries, perhaps all the machines on the network. Is there a way to cause the translation tables to be more complete? If I build a script to send pings (one per) to each possible IP address on the net, the arp table is built. Is this a good idea? The man pages say the arp stuff works with 10Mbit ethernet, though it seems to work with 100Mbit as well. I guess the man pages are outdated?

Did I dream that or just misunderstand? :-) I No, that's quite correct, though you might have some of the details a wee bit muddled... ;-) What you're looking for is an X _server_ that runs under win32. X-based applications (xterm, netscape, whatever...) are the clients. An X client relies on an X server to display its output in a neat little window, and it really doesn't care all that much whether the X server is sitting on the same host, or on a machine on another continent. That's the nature of the X beast. There's a free X server for win32 out there called MI/X. I'm not sure where to find it, but it's out there on the Web somewhere. There are several commercial offerings as well, e.g. Exceed (http://www.hummingbird.com/). -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 19 12:25:14 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA01104 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 19 Mar 1998 12:25:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from citytel1.citytel.net (root@citytel1.citytel.net [204.244.99.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA01089 for ; Thu, 19 Mar 1998 12:25:05 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kwoody@citytel.net) Received: from mybsd.net (citytelprct121.citytel.net [204.244.99.152]) by citytel1.citytel.net (8.8.8/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA12317 for ; Thu, 19 Mar 1998 12:25:03 -0800 (PST) Received: from mybsd.net (mybsd.net [192.168.0.2]) by mybsd.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA00535 for ; Thu, 19 Mar 1998 09:47:13 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 19 Mar 1998 09:47:12 -0800 (PST) From: Keith Woodworth To: freebsd-questions Subject: apache/httpd 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 a quick quesiton about apache/httpd...I have one machine that works fine...type lynx localhost and I get my index file no prob, or I can use the machine name and its setup to recognize the ~ for home dir's.

i installed freeBSD and i am having major trouble getting the network to function. i have the BSD machine and an NT machine on a 10BaseT Ethernet. the BSD machine has an Intel EtherExpress 16, which took a while to get configured, but now seems to work properly. according to the freeBSD handbook, and the output from ifconfig and netstat, everything should be working.

i believe the problem is NOT hardware, because if i reboot the BSD machine into Win95 (uh! blasphemy!) both machines see each other just fine.

here is--roughly--what i have tried so far:

ping from BSD
-------------
o no response
o kick off tcpdump in background, try again
  - now I see arp frames (who-has/tell)
o add NT arp entry on BSD, try again
  - now see ip frames (icmp echo request)
  - hub activity: Tx & Rx light BOTH ports
  - however no response comes back
  - NT shows no frames incoming

ping from NT
------------
o timed out
o start utility which shows frame type and count, but that's all
  (unfortunately i could not find an NT port of tcpdump), try again
  - now I see arp frames (i assume who-has/tell)
o add BSD arp entry on NT, try again
  - now see ip frames (i assume echo request)
  - hub activity: Tx light for BSD, Rx for NT (why only 2? and if so,
    i would expect them to be the other way around...)
  - no response comes back
  - BSD shows no frames incoming
 

does anybody have any ideas? i am kinda stuck...it's a bit difficult to install software without the network running :(
TIA

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying here. The arp tables should hold every MAC address that the host has talked to (fairly recently) on the local network, with no routers in between. If they haven't talked, there's no MAC address stored. > If I build a script to send pings (one per) to each possible IP > address on the net, the arp table is built. Is this a good idea? Might be better to ping the broadcast address once. Unless is breaks your network with the load, I can't imagine it's necessarily a *bad* idea. Doesn't mean it's *good*, but... > The man pages say the arp stuff works with 10Mbit ethernet, though it > seems to work with 100Mbit as well. I guess the man pages are > outdated?

However, BSD/OS allows you to modify the max password length for userclasses, up to 128 characters I think? Similarly, the password behavior here is a function of the crypt() used -- with Kerberos, you get whatever the Kerberos behavior is -- it certainly has more significant characters, however. I would personally like to see change in behavior here, perhaps as a login.conf option similar to BSD/OS. I don't see one in the -stable login.conf man page, however.

Actually, I believe it does actually reflect significant characters. On a BSD/OS 3.1 machine, we have the max password length turned way up, and shorter passwords (but above 16 char, say) just don't cut it. These really are significant characters :). >From BSD/OS login.conf(0): widepasswords bool false Use the new wide password format when using the passwd(1) utility. The wide password format al- lows up to 128 signifi- cant characters in the password. Sounds fun to me. Definitely not good in a mixed-OS passwd environment, but good for plain BSD machines. :) > > behavior here is a function of the crypt() used -- with Kerberos, you get > > whatever the Kerberos behavior is -- it certainly has more significant > > characters, however.

Thanks for any > input. Also,do I have to run Kerberos to make all of this happen? You did not mention the domain name. It is set to the same for both server and client(s), yes.:-) You are sure that the /etc/hosts, password files, and /etc/group (at a minimum) are properly set up on your server, and that they are edited correctly on the client hosts with the "+" tags. Some of those files are appended to and some are over looked in favor of the map. Your /etc/hosts map from the server will replace the client host file, for example. Check the man pages for yp, ypwhich, ypcat and rpcinfo. These will help you get some diagnostic info. You may also wish to refer to Hal Stern "Managing NFS and NIS" pub by O'Reilly. Apologies if this is elemental, but NIS seems to be _very_ fussy about proper configuration. When right it works.

In /usr/ports/sysutils is a port of LPRng. You might try "make fetch" then taking the downloaded source over to the Solaris 2.6 system, build and install it there (assuming you have a C compiler on the Solaris system). Might be able to find pre-built Solaris 2.6 binaries of LPRng somewhere on the net. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

I don't understand this stuff, but I did a braindead-newbie installation of 2.2.2 and I use long passwords because I never heard there was a limit of 8. The long passwords are very real on my system. My 43 character password doesn't work if I leave characters off the end. My 89 character password doesn't work if I omit or change the last character. Clearly we are seeing some differences here. If there is a password length limit it should be documented somewhere handy, especially if installation decisions affect it. I'm keen to see agreement and then a plain English summary. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 19 18:37:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA00895 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 19 Mar 1998 18:37:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from firewall.scitec.com.au (firewall-user@fgate.scitec.com.au [203.17.180.68]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA00862; Thu, 19 Mar 1998 18:36:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from john.saunders@scitec.com.au) Received: by firewall.scitec.com.au; id MAA12288; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 12:36:35 +1000 (EST) Received: from mailhub.scitec.com.au(203.17.180.131) by fgate.scitec.com.au via smap (3.2) id xma012265; Fri, 20 Mar 98 12:36:10 +1000 Received: from hydra.scitec.com.au (hydra.scitec.com.au [203.17.182.101]) by mailhub.scitec.com.au (8.6.12/8.6.9) with ESMTP id MAA08958; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 12:36:07 +1000 Received: from scitec.com.au (saruman.scitec.com.au) by hydra.scitec.com.au with ESMTP (1.40.112.8/16.2) id AA199321366; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 13:36:06 +1100 Message-Id: <3511D616.F99D6219@scitec.com.au> Date: Fri, 20 Mar 1998 13:36:06 +1100 From: John Saunders Organization: SCITEC LIMITED X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (WinNT; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Password Characters Not Required???

Hmm, I suspect you didn't install the DES security stuff (the bit that warns you about not installing if you are not a US resident). DES is a compatible algorithm that only takes 8 significant characters from the password. If you use DES you can copy /etc/passwd entries from one Unix OS to another and expect them to work. The default is to use MD5 which only allows the encrypted passwords to work with FreeBSD (or maybe a small number of others). I strongly suspect (but don't know for sure) that the MD5 code uses all the letters you supply or a very large number of them.

I am having pretty good luck installing freebsd over the net through the ftp process, but there is one question though that I hope someone will be able to answer. I had my mail partition overfill (well, almost -- 99%) and I am thinking about adding another drive (or drives) in to put in the same partition. (/mail). So the question is: do I have to enter the /stand/sysinstall to do this or do I have to use the commands of the freebsd manually. If I do it, will the current information on the /mail partition be retained or do I need to back it up? I guess it's not really a partition, but a volume that I am talking about (at least novell would call it a volume) but this is my first unix box so far. TIA. Val.

In UNIX, it's best to call them file systems. We also use the term partition, but differently from Microsoft, so it's confusing. To summarize: you can use either sysinstall or the old-style utilities to add a new file system. sysinstall is much easier, but both methods offer you ample opportunities for shooting yourself in the foot. Make a backup first, and tread carefully.

The process of formatting a man page can be time consuming, so to save time (at the expense of disk space) formatted copies of them are kept in the /usr/(local/)share/man/cat* directories. These copies are formatted for the screen only, not for any other device. However, the first time you look at a manual page a formatted copy probably won't exist. In this case, when you type "man command" you'll see the message Formatting page, please wait... and the page will appear after a short while. A formatted copy of the page will be put in the appropriate /usr/(local/)share/man/cat* directory. So the next time you look at the man page the formatted version will come up immediately. Try it. Pick a command you've never run, perhaps 'ypwhich' or something similarly esoteric, and look at it's man page twice. The second time it will come up much faster than the first. In your example above, 'man' has checked to see if a pre-formatted copy exists. It does, so 'man' displays it straight away. > assuming that the command 'man -t man' is executed then > the following command is executed > zcat /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz | tbl | troff > the compressed file is in *roff format Yep. In this case you need to work on the original *roff format file, so that's used instead. > This operation by default will use the troff device 'devps' ie postscript > this does not seem to be the case however so I tried executing the command > manually as :- > > zcat /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz | tbl | troff -Tascii > > and expected an ascii printable but that didn't give me what I expected. No. [I'm on shakier ground here, someone feel free to correct me]. Use troff when you want output formatted for a printing device, use nroff when you want output formatted for the screen (both of these commands are emulated by groff anyway). So your command line above should be zcat /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz | tbl | nroff However, that will just give you the text without any of of the formatting. In order to get the formatting, you need to tell nroff to use the right macro package for the file type you're displaying. The command switch to do this is "-mmacro_package", (i.e., "-m" and then the name of the macro package with no space). For reasons that will shortly be apparent, the macro package that defines how manual pages are processed is called 'an'. This then allows you to write zcat /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz | tbl | nroff -man and have things work as you expect. One more thing. Some folks have enough diskspace to burn that they can afford to keep preformatted copies of all the manual pages around, so there's never any wait for 'man' to format them. If you want to do this, investigate the 'catman' program and its commented out entry in /etc/weekly. Hope that's helpful.

As far as I know - no.

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying here. The arp tables should hold every MAC address that the host has talked to (fairly recently) on the local network, with no routers in between. If they haven't talked, there's no MAC address stored. > If I build a script to send pings (one per) to each possible IP > address on the net, the arp table is built. Is this a good idea? Might be better to ping the broadcast address once. Unless is breaks your network with the load, I can't imagine it's necessarily a *bad* idea. Doesn't mean it's *good*, but... > The man pages say the arp stuff works with 10Mbit ethernet, though it > seems to work with 100Mbit as well. I guess the man pages are > outdated? Never thought of it that way.

Well, if the interfaces are setup to see 123.456.7.255 as the broadcast address, they won't say a darn thing back if they get 123.456.6.255. I'm not sure how that would work, with the subnet divided over multiple local networks; with parts of it on different sides of a router, I'm not sure how the broadcast address will get routed. However, you won't get arp entries for systems on the other side of the router; you'd have to have a system on each (physical) network to catalog the MAC addresses. > The ping manpage talks about pinging a multicast address. Is this the same > thing? No, that's an experimental technology, having to do with referencing a given set of hosts with a single address. It might, theoretically, solve your problem, but implementing it would be a lot of trouble. But I'm not too knowledgeable about multicasting; I'll let someone else handle that one. It MIGHT be a solution, but probably a whole lot more work that it's worth. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 20 07:16:19 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA08168 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 07:16:19 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gratia.it.hq.nasa.gov (gratia.it.hq.nasa.gov [131.182.119.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id HAA08147; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 07:16:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from cshenton@gratia.it.hq.nasa.gov) Received: from wirehead.it.hq.nasa.gov (WireHead.it.hq.nasa.gov [131.182.119.88]) by gratia.it.hq.nasa.gov (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA29017; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 10:09:19 -0500 (EST) Received: (from cshenton@localhost) by wirehead.it.hq.nasa.gov (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA18809; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 10:16:05 -0500 (EST) To: "J.R.S.

I like Livingston PortMasters. If all you want is POTS analog lines, the PM2e-30 does 30 lines. You should also be able to find them used and maybe discounted now that the PM4 has been released (what a monster!). If you plan on ISDN or 56K, look into the PM3. I support two ISPs with PM2s: they seem very stable, reliable, and cost effective. One of the ISPs is a complete FreeBSD shop :-) I don't like Ascends. I've found the firmware and their RADIUS to be buggy, with patches released at least weekly. They're expensive. Word on the net is they can't really handle all their lines at full speed. I've worked with them here at HQ. You should probably get hip to RADIUS for authentication. Livingston is the defacto, Ascend has their version, there are commercial versions now too, including ones wich will run on (shudder) NT.

The problem is that FreeBSD pays strict attention to the ordering, so when I need -lx -ly -lz, where libx.a needs liby.a, and liby.a needs libz.a, I must specify these in order AND AFTER ALL OBJECTS. In sys.mk, there are two rules (one posix and one non-posix) .c: ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} -o ${.TARGET} ${.IMPSRC} The problem is that for the compile to work, I have to get the libs *after* the IMPSRC, i.e. if I put the libs in the LDFLAGS it becomes cc -lx -ly -lz -o w w.c and fails. Altering sys.mk allowed everything to work, but under Linux, the above cc line works. I need a Makefile that works under both Linux and FreeBSD, and don't know how to do this without respecifying the rules in my Makefiles, unless there is something different about how gcc runs under both OSes. How can I tell FreeBSD to link in the libraries last?

Depends on what you want to do. PM2 talks to normal analog modems so you'll need those. PM3 and Ascend Max have internal digital modems. Both can do authentication against an internal database, but are usually configured to query a networked RADIUS server. So you'll need a box, or you can run RADIUS on an existing box. If you want to run an ISP, you'll need DNS, web, ftp srvers, etc. Lots of possibilities depending on what you're after. I really like the O'Reilly book "Getting Connected to the Internet at 56K and Up". It covers lots of topics for the budding ISP.

Ruth, I am not familiar with scanners, but color printers work fine. You can use ghostscript to convert from postscript to the local printer language. Also see apsfilter to make it easier to use. The handbook has info on printing, but apsfilter and ghostscript will take care of most of it. I personnally use a Epson Color Stylus 600, and have used an HP Deskjet 870Cxi.

Btw. switches are almost same, because mkhybrid is a mkisofs derived program. Switches as I do: mkhybrid -a -d -D -J -l -N -r -T -P "info about publisher" -V "volume id" -o .... Cut off the -J switch and go. The -J switch is for Joliet extensions, I think latest mkisofs supports Joliet too. If you want to see correct volume id under window95 or smth. similar, please restrict this under 11 symbols. There are several other restrictions too, as I remember.. I don't know anything about making bootable CD except this is possible :) Good luck Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 20 10:50:19 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA25672 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 10:50:19 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from chardonnay.vineyard (port43.wi.net [204.95.193.43]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA25666 for ; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 10:50:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from laufen@hub.freebsd.org) Received: from localhost (derek@localhost) by chardonnay.vineyard (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id MAA01327 for ; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 12:53:08 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from laufen@localhost) Date: Fri, 20 Mar 1998 12:53:07 -0600 (CST) From: derek laufenberg X-Sender: derek@chardonnay.vineyard To: freebsd questions Subject: starting a server at boot Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a basic unix question, but I dont know the normal way this is done. After bootup I want to start a series of network daemons. I'd like to start them from rc.local, but I don't want this stuff running as root. What is the standard BSD (if there is one) way to do this sort of thing? I thought about using inetd, but this software was not designed for that kind of use. It may work - I'm trying it now.

Two questions from the new user of FreeBSD (I've installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 RELEASE): 1) There are two partitions (in MS notation) on my HDD. The first is for Win95 (its type is FAT16) and the second is for FreeBSD. I want to read and write files from the first partition using FreeBSD. Ok, I've read man pages and add the following line in /etc/fstab: /dev/wd0s1 /dos_hdd msdos rw 0 2 When system starts it dispays the warning from mountmsdosfs(): "root directory isn't a multiple of the clustersize in length". Manual displays that writing on MS-DOS filesystem can produce the corruption of the data and that it is "shortcoming in the code which needs to be addressed". The question is: what should I do to imrove this situation? 2) If I try to mount the FDD (for example) when there is no floppy disk in the drive, FreeBSD displays error messages ("Error reading..., Input/Output error..."). The question is: how can I mount my "empty" FDD? (I want to automount my FDD when system starts, using fstab.) Thanks. Good-bye. WBR, Vitaly.

When you ask questions like this it helps a lot if you tell us what version of bind you're using. However I'm guessing that you've created a zone record that doesn't have any NS (nameserver) records. Let's say the name of the nameserver is ns.foo.nett. You should put an NS record in the zone right below the SOA like this: @ IN NS ns.foo.nett.

It may work - I'm trying it now. The 'Right Way' (from man su): EXAMPLES su man -c catman Runs the command catman as user man.

First thing you should do is take out that fstab entry and umount that parition. This error used to mean that you were in danger of hosing not just your dos partition but also your freebsd partition. I am guessing that you used fips to shrink your dos partition. In any case, the solution is to back up all your data, use dos fdisk to wipe out both partitions and repartition your drive, then reinstall everything. Yes, I know this is bad news, but if you want to access your dos partition regularly from freebsd this is the safest way. > 2) If I try to mount the FDD (for example) when there is no floppy disk > in the drive, FreeBSD displays error messages ("Error reading..., > Input/Output error..."). > The question is: how can I mount my "empty" FDD?

How would you compare FREEBSD to LInux? I have a Syquest parallel 270MB removable hard drive. Will that work with BSD? I have a SCSI HP T4000 Travan tape drive. Will that work? I have a SCSI Syquest 1.5Gig. removable hard drive on the same line. Will that work? I have an SCSI HP IIcx color scanner on the same line. Will that work? I'm pretty sure that a joystick would work. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have a Star NX2450 24pin Rainbow printer. Does FreeBSD support that? How about and Epson Stylus Color Bubble Jet printer? I understand that FreeBSD is great for networking, but I wonder if it would support the NIC card that I am using. The brand was listed, but not that model number. The card runs on the PCI bus.It was not listed in your writeup. I do know that it will support the one NE2000 16 bit card that I have. What I am concerned about it that I would be losing the capability of using most of my local resources, because BSD doesn't support it. I was also wondering about dual booting. Does FreeBSD support that, or must it solely be the only operating system on the hard drive? Does BSD boot up from the hard-drive, or is it from a floppy? Linux supports running Windows 3.x 16 bit software via a program designed for that purpose. Does FreeBSD have the same capability?

About all you need there is your domain (worldnet.att.net, I'm guessing) and your ISP's nameserver IP (which they can tell you); you probably already have it somewhere in a packet of information from them.

Mainly, it's confusing documentation :-) Historically, troff doesn't produce final output, so GNU troff doesn't either. For that, use groff instead of troff. In addition, you need to specify a macro package for just about any *roff source. In the case of man pages, it's either the 'an' package (traditional man pages) or the 'doc' package (GNU and similar). There's a third package, 'andoc', which decides which package to load, so you can format any man page with zcat | groff -mandoc -t -p The -t and -p options run tbl and pic respectively. This will give you PostScript output. If you want ASCII output, you could write this instead: zcat | nroff -mandoc -t -p Of course, in this case it's easier to write: man Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 20 15:31:42 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA29826 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 15:31:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from allegro.lemis.com (allegro.lemis.com [192.109.197.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA29739 for ; Fri, 20 Mar 1998 15:31:05 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by allegro.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA15841; Sat, 21 Mar 1998 10:00:52 +1030 (CST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) id KAA10386; Sat, 21 Mar 1998 10:00:51 +1030 (CST) (envelope-from grog) Message-ID: <19980321100051.57663@freebie.lemis.com> Date: Sat, 21 Mar 1998 10:00:51 +1030 From: Greg Lehey To: "Dogbert's Nephew" , questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: S3 but no action References: <19980317180536.15799@freebie.lemis.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.89i In-Reply-To: ; from Dogbert's Nephew on Fri, Mar 20, 1998 at 09:05:40AM -0500 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Fri, 20 March 1998 at 9:05:40 -0500, Dogbert's Nephew wrote: > > Spike said: >> >> Try using the S3 server, I think you have an S3 card. >> > I DO have an S3 card so now I use the S3 server. > Only prolem is there is nothing but a mouse pointer and a background when > I run 'XF86_S3'.

You need a window manager. It's a long and involved business; you could start by reading the man page for, say, fvwm2, which is in the Ports Collection.

No. You need to be more specific. "Error code 1" means "something went wrong". We need to see where it started to go wrong (typically, this is where the ***s start).

Marquee is a Internet Exploder-specific option. The counter must be installed on the server as a CGI script; I'd suggest using wwwcount instead othe MS internal.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996.

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

The result is that most leading edge com- puter books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. The sec- ond edition has only just been published, but already a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. 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 docu- ment: 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 under- lining. 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 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 ____________________________ 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 -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. 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-fea- tured 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 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 documenta- tion 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 char- acter-mode terminal. 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 bet- ter choice if you want to process it further. Once you have decided your format, use make to create the document. For exam- ple, 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 print- er 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 dis- tribution 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 96 _______ After the example at the top of the page, enter: If you're using csh or tcsh, enter: # cd /cdrom/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # foreach i (*) ? ln -s $i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i ? end Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my atten- tion. Page 128 ________ Replace the complete text below the example with the following: These values are defaults, and many are either incorrect for FreeBSD (for exam- ple 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 simultaneously with- in 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 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 # passwd root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup Note that you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the system doesn't have the concept of user IDs. Page 152 ________ After figure 10-8, add the following text: It would be tedious for every user to put settings in their private initializa- tion 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 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 indi- vidual files. In addition, login classes (page 141) offer another method of setting environ- ment 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. 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 (the Bourne shell sh has no command line editing at all). 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: 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 The shell for root must be on the root file system, otherwise you will not have a shell 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. To solve this problem, perform the following steps: 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 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 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 as- sumes it can access the data from a mounted file system, and it gets quite un- happy 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 de- vice name or the directory name. For example, to unmount the CD-ROM we 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 di- rectory 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 197, first line ____________________ The text of the first full sentence reads: 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 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/sys.* | tar xzvf - Thanks to Raymond Noel for finding this one. 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 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 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 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 directory sbin, not bin). Check both locations if you run into trouble. Thanks to Sue Blake for this information. Page 493 ________ Replace the last sentence on the page with: Select the socket options TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up the response time of such applications by over 95%.

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 break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean 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 or -hackers? ========================================= Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. 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, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling 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 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. 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. 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 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 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 answer a question =========================== Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

You can roll your own SSL patches with Apache for free but you wont be able to use it for commercial ends. You can purchase Stronghold (which is also Apache + SSL) for a reasonable sum of money without any commercial restrictions. However, Stronghold may or may not be kosher with some credit card issuers; the availabilty of source is often confused with breakable encryption :-).

I still have to get my printer to work, and get sound support. The sound support is what I am going to ask about here. I am not sure what the sound card is [the manual says Sound Blaster compatible]. The computer is a Texas Instruments 610CDT Extensa. This is what was recommended to me by a fellow TI notebook owner [but it has not worked for me]. This is taking from my kernel config: ... controller snd0 options SBC_IRQ=5 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr device pca0 at isa? port IO_TIMER1 tty ... My dmesg shows this: ... pca0: on motherboard pca0: PC speaker audio driver ... sb0 not found at 0x220 ... So I gather the pca0 line is fine. But obviously the sb0 line is not.

You are "ru@ucb.crimea.ua" but when *you* send the message you want it to say you are really "Oracle-L@ucb.crimea.ua"? I don't know how you do it in ELM but in MH (actually using exmh2) I simply put an appropriate From: line in ~/Mail/{distcomps,replcomps} in order to take care of the problem of a dailup network connection and dynamic IP address. Exmh places this From: line in the composition window, so its easy to change on a per-message basis. I added "N4HHE" to this message just for kicks. Is that the kind of thing you were thinking about? Another way, probably frought with problems would be to create yet another alias but this time one that forwards to ORACLE-L@DBINFO.COM. If you forward thru bulk_mailer (see ports/mail/bulk_mailer) it has options to rewrite Reply-To and other headers. That might do what you want. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

To add injury to insult, this can burn out your monitor if you leave it like that. I hate to say "go and buy a book", but you really should get "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition (http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm), which describes what to do to solve this and many other problems (including Internet setup). In the meantime, I can just hope that somebody with more time than I have can help, and suggest that you check the resolutions and board/monitor parameters again. It's tricky.

All nice and good. However, when you include the same three lines in Xsetup0, all three programs continue to run even after the user logs in. And since root owns them, a user can't simply kill them in Xsession.

My first plan was to download the required files to my Pentium, then make them available on via ftp, from which I could install (since the 486 I want to install on doesn't have a modem). I got everything from /FreeBSD-stable/src and ran the boot floppy, pointing at the IP address of the other Pentium. It kept saying "Unknown Network Error". So, I made a 200MB partition on the 486, and copied the files via zipdisk across to C:\FREEBSD. No luck there either, it kept telling me I was missing the bin docs manpages dict distributions. So I got annoyed and decided to download the floppies, but couldn't find them. I also noticed that as soon as I started copying things onto the DOS partition, it was truncating the files to 8.3 filename format, which seemed a bit horrible. So... main questions are: What am I meant to download? /FreeBSD-stable/src? What directory doe I put it in if I'm creating a local ftp site for myself? What about the 8.3 filenames? Where are the floppies for download?

I've been reading up on FreeBSD and PAO, but have a few questions. It seems that the stock FreeBSD 2.2.5 non-PAO kernel has PCMCIA and APM support built in. If true, what does PAO get me? Better power management? A wider range of PCMCIA support? Also, I want to get a 3Com 3C575-TX Fast Etherlink XL 10/100 PCMCIA adapter. My chosen laptop supports CardBus and I already have a PCMCIA modem, so the 10/100 capability is a plus. Is this card at all supported? Even if it is only supported to the point of 10Mbit connectivity right now, that'd work. Thanks. Ben -- Ben Hockenhull benh@jpj.net "Revenge is a dish best served with pinto beans and muffins."

Well, I started off by putting the following lines in my .Xmodmap keycode 117 = Menu keycode 115 = Meta_L keycode 116 = Meta_R I then had to modify one of the X startup files to make sure my .Xmodmap was being sourced. you can use xev to make sure that the KeySyms are begin generated. Then, for fvwm-like window managers, you can configure events to happen when you use these keys like this: Key Meta_L A A Menu "StartMenu" Nop Key Meta_R A A Menu "Utilities" Nop Key Menu A A WindowList Or, you could use the keys in emacs or other applications, though I never got around to playing with remapping that stuff. man xmodmap and man xev should get you started, though.

Its an error in the addgroup shell script. The first line, which specifies the shell to use, says #!/usr/bin/tclsh. There is no such shell. Edit the file and make it say instead #!/usr/local/bin/tclsh8.0 This fix seems to work on my system, it may work on yours.

I noticed that win95 does not have any default settings.. it just obtains everything automatically. I also noticed that it is using dhcp. So I installed dhclient (isc-dhcp2 :port) I am having a hell of a time with it..

In going through my kernel config and commenting out and adding a few things in I missed commenting out a reference to cd0 so when it was acutally making the kernel it stopped with an error code 1.

Vitaly, what release of FreeBSD you're running? If I'm correct (which is not necessarilly so) this message tells you that you've got large DOS partition (with clusters >16k). I used to see it under 2.1 and 2.2.2, but here's from man mount_msdos under -current: "FreeBSD 2.1 and earlier versions could not handle cluster sizes larger than 16K. Just mounting an MS-DOS file system could cause corruption to any mounted file system. Cluster sizes larger than 16K are unavoidable for file system sizes larger than 1G, and also occur when filesystems larger than 1G are shrunk to smaller than 1G using FIPS." And under -current mount_msdos doesn't seem to even have this message anymore (in code, I mean). So if your release is new enough, you probably have nothing to worry about.

Yes, it's an incorrect configuration file. You've forgotten to include some SCSI config line-I'd gues either the 'controller scbus0' or the definition for your particular SCSI controller. Please don't send replies messages like this just to me--I can't guarantee to follow up on them. You're better off copying -questions, like I've done now.

Ppp no longer creates a diagnostic port by default - you've gotta ``set server ...''. Something like set server 3000 MyPasswd or even set server /var/tmp/ppp-ctl MyPasswd 0117 might be appropriate. The second version is more secure as you can only use a unix-domain socket from the local machine.

A large percentage > of my (X-)spam comes from there. Actually, that's probably not true, what is true is that a lot of your spam claims to come from there, but in fact never touched their system. If you use procmail, it's pretty easy to discard anything with a hotmail.com address that didn't really come from hotmail. In fact, out of about 650 spam (yes, I save all my spam for later analysis), not one came from hotmail.com. Oh, there are some halfway clever forgeries, but it's pretty obvious the forgers never actually sent themselves a piece of email from hotmail to see what the headers look like. The same goes for juno.com, usa.net, and msn.com, though not to the same degree, as I actually do have spam that really came from them. Even most of the AOL spam I've got never went through AOL.

I had some problems getting my cable modem to work, but (to echo a thread on freebsd-newbies), about a week's worth of those were because my Ethernet cable had come disconnected. d-: It looks like, even though you have an effectively static IP address for any short period of time, the cable modem won't work right unless a DHCP request is made and answered. I'd planned to do a network install, but couldn't, because of this. I found that wide-dhcpc, from the ports distribution, is very reliable. The documentation is erratic, but if you add your Ethernet interface (ep0 or whatever) to /etc/rc.conf, and then just run `dhcpc ep0` (or whatever interface is appropriate), it'll work. Once you've got it working, add the dhcpc command to your /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. (Installing the wide-dhcp package will put a sample for dhcpd in that directory; I copied and edited that to run dhcpc instead.) - -crism - -- A Microsoft-free household. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: For my public key, finger crism@crism.ne.mediaone.net. iQB1AwUBNRRvnXSaAdkmYoAJAQEAjwL9EyjVpeMnE6OzmEL2xih4BcpWu8J80vqT b9KfVJBgALKPqd+6UNqcNiMhN4ewLF0qmiRfFs6lGBxCLJWqKT5WKG07JSWTj0hI k0hrSfrSFXOtdNSw0h0R5JBHHYGLOPn3 =matw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 21 18:22:06 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA16562 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 21 Mar 1998 18:22:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mx02.together.net (mx02.together.net [204.97.120.62]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA16535 for ; Sat, 21 Mar 1998 18:22:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from start@together.net) Received: from sequoia.together.net (sequoia.together.net [204.97.120.25]) by mx02.together.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA16820 for ; Sat, 21 Mar 1998 21:21:59 -0500 Received: from together.net (dial-56-MAX-BTVT-04.ramp.together.net [208.5.164.56]) by sequoia.together.net (8.8.6/8.8.6) with ESMTP id VAA08766 for ; Sat, 21 Mar 1998 21:21:54 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <35147554.F9908812@together.net> Date: Sat, 21 Mar 1998 21:20:04 -0500 From: Fred Wiseman X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: help download Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG ok I want to try out your OS and i don't know what files I need to download pleaz help To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 21 18:31:37 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA18686 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 21 Mar 1998 18:31:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ren.globecomm.net (ren.globecomm.net [207.51.48.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA18440 for ; Sat, 21 Mar 1998 18:30:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from knightmare@cyberdude.com) Received: from cyberdude.com (manning.HIP.Berkeley.EDU [136.152.33.239]) by ren.globecomm.net (8.8.8/8.8.0) with ESMTP id VAA19086 for ; Sat, 21 Mar 1998 21:30:21 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <35140724.7DC44E96@cyberdude.com> Date: Sat, 21 Mar 1998 18:29:56 +0000 From: Knightmare X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.0-971225-SNAP i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Boot-up e-mail prob in 3.0-CURRENT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Whenever I boot into FreeBSD, I get an e-mail message to me, from me (NV stuff...): -------------------------------------------------- >From daemon Sat Mar 21 18:11:55 1998 Date: Sat, 21 Mar 1998 18:11:55 GMT X-vi-recover-file: /root/.steprc X-vi-recover-path: /var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.000317 Reply-To: root From: root (Nvi recovery program) To: root Subject: Nvi saved the file .steprc Precedence: bulk On Wed Mar 18 01:41:34 1998, the user root was editing a file named /root/.steprc on the machine manning.HIP.Berkeley.EDU, when it was saved for recovery.

Dear, FreeBSD team.

I have purchased FreeBSD 2.2.5 from Walnut Creek,

I have installed to my computer, (PII/300 64 MB, Matrox Mellenium 2 = MB, HD=20 4.2 GB) and successful.

I want to run X Window and I already configure the XFREE,=20 /stand/sysinstall.

After that I run startx—Cannot find server, server available = XF86_SVGA,=20 and so on.

Can you tell me what should I do about this problem?

Thanks a lot….
