Most of them are fairly non-critical, but I'll feel a hell of a lot better if I can get some answers. First, my earlier problems with spontaneous reboots turned out to be hardware related; a swapped motherboard made the difference. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. First: my newest kernel will sometimes not allow me to type anything after the device probe. I suspect this may be due to the fact that I compiled in the pms0 support, and used ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR. Is this a known problem? I'm using a Gateway and a Microsoft ps/2 mouse, and I'm aware that these mice are apparently not the most standard of hardware. If it is the mouse, is there anything I can do to alleviate the situation, other than switching to a serial mouse? Second, here's a tip to budding FreeBSD experimenters: whatever you do, DON'T get rid of COMPAT_43 when compiling your new kernel. Strange and not-too-wonderful things will happen. Third, is there a written list of changes since 2.0-R? I'd like to know if it's worth it to try to upgrade to the more recent snapshot. Lastly, I get about 10,000 fewer Dhrystones/second on my FreeBSD system than on the same machine under NetBSD or BSDI. While I know this is a meaningless number, anyone have any guesses as to why this is? Thanks, -- ...................................................................... Peter G. Berger, Esq.

The most significant change recently was the merged VM/buffer cache. I don't recommend updating to the most recent snapshot. It has multiple bugs that will result in processes failing all over the place. The most serious of the problems was recently fixed by Bruce, but there are a pile more which have been fixed but not yet committed to CVS; I hope to commit the remaining fixes later today. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 22 09:51:44 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id JAA08355 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 22 Jan 1995 09:51:44 -0800 Received: from hudson.lm.com (hudson.lm.com [192.231.221.4]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id JAA08349 for ; Sun, 22 Jan 1995 09:51:42 -0800 Received: (from news@localhost) by hudson.lm.com (8.6.9/8.6.9) id MAA05576 for freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com; Sun, 22 Jan 1995 12:52:03 -0500 Path: hudson.lm.com!ivory.lm.com!not-for-mail From: peterb@telerama.lm.com (Peter Berger) Newsgroups: mail.freebsd-questions Subject: /dev/audio Date: 22 Jan 1995 12:51:54 -0500 Organization: Telerama Public Access Internet, Pittsburgh, PA USA Lines: 11 Message-ID: <3fu5vq$128@ivory.lm.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ivory.lm.com Apparently-To: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Shouldn't I just be able to cat .au, .wav, and .snd files to /dev/audio?

Haven't gotten a response and had this ) problem once before, so thought I'd best send it again. Thanks again for the help. I need just a little more if you're willing. Review of my machine environment: I'm putting FreeBSD on my 2nd disk. I have a primary DOS partition of 153MB on this disk and the rest (362MB) devoted to FreeBSD. My CD drive is not supported by FreeBSD, so I copy needed directory trees from the CD to the DOS partition under DOS and do the FreeBSD install from the DOS partition. All the installations have worked except X. > That's because DOS name mangling has changed the names on your disk! :-( > You'll have to make a tree of symlinks pointing into the DOS partition > using the original names, or soemthing. The XFree86 distribution was never > done with DOS 8.3 name mangling in mind (and oversight, and something I've > been meaning to talk to the XFree86 project about).

I was worried there was no solution to this problem. Now I'm anxious to get home to try installing X again, but I have a couple of questions first. Option 1 - "make a tree of symlinks pointing into the DOS partition" - So I would make a directory structure just like the original XFREE86_ directory on the CD? You say to use the "original names" - of the CD XFREE86_ directory? But they are already DOSified aren't they? Otherwise DOS couldn't read them right? Or there's the translation file (I forget its name) in the root directory on the CD. I believe it specifies that XFREE86_ (in DOS) translates to XFree86-3.1. Are the "original names" that I should use given in translate files? If so do I look thru the full XFREE86_ directory for translate files? - Where do I put this tree? Do I make an entry in "/" of "/XFree86-3.1" pointing to "/dos/XFREE86_"? - What is a "tree of symlinks"? I've used symbolic links a lot, but only on an individual basis. If I make a symlink of "/XFree86-3.1" pointing to "/dos/XFREE86_", it puts the link in "/" I think. But then, if I make a symlink of "/XFree86-3.1/foo" pointing to "/dos/XFREE86_/foo", where is the entry put? Isn't it put in "/dos/XFREE86_"? But, "/dos/XFREE86_" is over in the DOS partition. That doesn't work does it? Option 2 - "tar up the entire dist onto your DOS partition and then copy it back" - How do I tar under DOS? - Will a tar of the entire distribution fit in my 153MB DOS partition? - Can I just tar the XFREE86_ directory and put it in my DOS partition? Option 1 or Option 2 - How do I run the install without starting all over from scratch? The documentation says to run /sbin/sysinstall, but that does a complete reinstall doesn't it?

I just finished upgrading one of my 'bsd boxes from a dx2-50 ISA to a dx2-66 VLB motherboard.

'shutdown' results in a kernel panic: panic: b_to_q to a clist with no reserved cblocks 'reboot' 'fastboot' 'halt' etc. all lock the system just as it is about to reboot to system. I get the "Press any key to reboot" message, and then the keyboard locks and I hafta hit the reset switch. The board I used to use had the Symphony chipset, AMI bios and an Intel dx-50. This new one has a Bioteq chipset, AMI bios, and an AMD dx2-66. MoBo functions just fine under a DOS/Windows environment (ctrl-alt-del works). Cards: Soundblaster 16 Buslogic BT-545 16bit busmaster SCSI 'No-name' VLB IDE controller Trident 9400CXI VLB video 1MB This is the only panic I have experienced.

You need to supply *all* the messages generated between the time you typed 'shutdown' and the time when the panic message appeared. Write them down if you have to ("I don't remember the error messages exactly" won't cut it: detail is important). What I'm curious to know is exactly how far shutdown gets before the system pukes. Does it do it immediately? Does it shut down some processes first? Please be specific. For extra credit, provide a stack trace. :) I've been able to reliably reproduce this panic message on my system now that I've started looking into actually using /dev/console for something. Basically, I want to be able to put a getty on /dev/console (instead of /dev/ttyv0) so that I can boot either using the VGA display or a serial port as a console and have a getty pop up in the right place without having to modify /etc/ttys. (SunOS handles this correctly: /dev/console is always the console device no matter what physical I/O device you use.) This would be especially handy now that FreeBSD-current can be booted from a serial port without any special tinkering. The general consensus is that you aren't supposed to put a getty on /dev/console, but I disagree (and I certainly don't think it should result in a panic), so I've decided to hunt down and terminate this bug with extreme prejudice no matter how much of my real work I have to put aside to do it. :) The way I've been able to duplicate the problem is as follows: 1) Boot the system with a VGA console 2) Edit /etc/ttys and activate a getty on 'console' while turning off the getty on 'ttyv0.' 3) Log in on 'console' as root 4) Type the following: echo kaboom > /dev/ttyv0 Alternatively, if you boot with a serial port as your console, you can replace step 4 with: echo kaboom > /dev/ttyd0. Another way to do it is to fire up the X server. I've also seen the kernel panic in putc() because of the same problem (no reserved cblocks). Basically, if you write to the console device while /dev/console is also open, you get a panic. The immediate problem is that the tty struct that eventually makes it to ttywrite() doesn't have its clists set up correctly. cblocks are supposed to be reserved in ttyopen() (from what I can tell). After finally building a kernel with debugging symbols (6 Mbytes worth!) and 'options DODUMP,' I managed to analyze a crash dump and discovered that writing to /dev/ttyv0 actually causes the kernel to go from write(), to vn_write(), to ffsspec_write(), to spec_write(), to cn_write(), to scwrite(), to ttwrite() and then to b_to_q() and a panic. The strange thing is the call to cnwrite(): this should only happen if you actually write to /dev/console -- a write directly to /dev/ttyv0 should not end up there. Tracing back, I discovered that vn->v_un->vu_specinfo->si_rdev in spec_write() was 0x00000000 where it probably should have been 0x0c000000 (or something like that -- basically, 0x00000000 is major 0/minor 0 where it should have been major 12/minor 0 (for syscons) instead). My feeling is that there's a lookup function somewhere that's getting confused and returning the major/minor numbers for /dev/console when it should be returning the major/minor of the actual driver device. That, or it's failing entirely and just returning 0. The trouble is that there's a lot of code to cover: the problem could be in vn_write(), or it could be in vn_open() (you have to open the device before you can write to it, right?) or somewhere in between. Kernel printf()s themselves don't cause problems because there aren't any 'struct tty's involved. I'm not at all sure why normal writes to /dev/console work but writes to /dev/ttyv0 (or /dev/ttyd0 depending on the circumstances) with /dev/console open will bomb. Hmmm... now that I think of it, maybe /dev/ttyv0 isn't being opened at all... could it be /dev/console is actually being opened in place of /dev/ttyv0 by mistake? Maybe we're getting the major/minor number wrong right from the start and ttyopen()ing /dev/console for a second time instead of ttyopen()ing /dev/ttyv0, and then ttwrite()ing to ttyv0 when it hasn't really been properly open()ed yet. That would explain the bogus call to cnwrite and uninitialized clists. I'll have to look into this tomorrow. > 'reboot' 'fastboot' 'halt' etc. all lock the system just as > it is about to reboot to system.

Whenever my system panics because of the 'no reserved cblocks' problem it always reboots cleanly. I have extremely generic hardware, however.

Do I have a piece of sh*t > MoBo? There may be a hardware problem involved, but I'm not sure how closely related it is to this panic. From what I've read, FreeBSD uses something of a brute force approach to reset the CPU (it actually causes the CPU to triple fault, which shuts it down). But that doesn't happen until *after* the panic: I can underatand your hardware objecting to the brute force CPU reset, but that doesn't account for the panic since that happens before cpu_reset() is called. If you're feeling really adventurous you can generate a crash dump and try to trace through it to see exactly what the kernel does that leads up to the panic. This is a little tricky, but it's the best way to isolate the problem. -Bill -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Møøse Illuminati: ignore it and be confused, or join it and be confusing! ~~~~~~~~ FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development #1: Fri Jan 20 14:28:17 EST 1995 ~~~~~~~~~ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 22 23:30:57 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id XAA23373 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 22 Jan 1995 23:30:57 -0800 Received: from amalfi.trl.OZ.AU (amalfi.trl.OZ.AU [137.147.99.99]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id XAA23363 for ; Sun, 22 Jan 1995 23:30:22 -0800 Received: from orca1.vic.design.telecom.com.au ([145.136.55.131]) by amalfi.trl.OZ.AU (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id SAA14848 for ; Mon, 23 Jan 1995 18:20:42 +1100 Received: from netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au by orca1.vic.design.telecom.com.au with SMTP (1.36.108.4/16.2) id AA29445; Mon, 23 Jan 1995 18:28:51 +1100 Received: from netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au (netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au [144.139.63.32]) by netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au (8.6.8/8.6.6) with SMTP id PAA12021 for ; Mon, 23 Jan 1995 15:47:13 +0800 Date: Mon, 23 Jan 1995 15:47:11 +0800 (WST) From: Terry Dwyer To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: socks.cstc.4.2beta, cern_httpd 3.0 and FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk In attempting to port these apps to 1.1.5.1 I've struck a brick wall with socks.

The This layering seems excessive. One of the benchmarks in Larry Mcvoy's benchmark suite tests "syscall" overhead by writing a byte to stdout. FreeBSD is about 4 times slower than Linux for this benchmark, perhaps because of all the layers. The benchmark doesn't really test syscalls or i/o, but it's good for testing cdev overheads. >vn->v_un->vu_specinfo->si_rdev in spec_write() was 0x00000000 where >it probably should have been 0x0c000000 (or something like that -- >basically, 0x00000000 is major 0/minor 0 where it should have been >major 12/minor 0 (for syscons) instead). 0/0 is correct for the console. It gets translated to 12/0 in cons.c. The current version of syscons, and all versions of sio, cannot tell if they are working with the 0/0 device, and this causes problems when the 12/0 device is closed while the 0/0 device is open or vice versa. I fixed this, but now the process group info for the 12/0 device doesn't go away when the 12/0 device is closed, and TIOCSTTY fails in login_tty().

This is because NFS writes are synchronus; this converts into an apparent request/response before the client is permitted to send the next packet. The current Sun and SVR4 NFS servers are configured by default to use async writes, and are apparently faster because of this, at a trade-off in reliability (crash your server, and your client believes he has written data that actually did not get to disk). You can make the writes async (I forget how -- anyone? I need code in front of me to answer this one, I don't have the NFS code memorized), but clients using O_WRITESYNC are going to be screwed by thinking they are doing something that they are not... just like clients of Sun/Sequent/SCO are being screwed by default. With async writes, the packet propogation and data write latency are counted once over a run of n packets. With a request/response protocol architecture, the latency is counted once per packet. This is the reason protocols like SMB (LanMan) and NCP (Novell) really suck out. Novell helps a little in the case of sequential I/O with "packet burst", which cranks the average up; for instance, NetWare for UNIX gets better numbers than Native NetWare when using packet burst, but worse without because of the stack latency in UnixWare (I got the cache prefetch for sequential reads down, and the actual system I/O on cached data is on the order of 200uS if the file is mmapped). The same issues are also present when attempting to use a box as a router between high speed networks (currently, the UofU uses dedicated RS/6000's as T3->T1 fan-out-units, solving the problem by throwing compute power at it). It would actually be of benefit to BSD (or any OS, for that matter) to try to get this benchmark improved to ensure a reduced latency in internal operations and for things like Samba which are, and will remain, defined as request/response.

You can modify these to do whatever you wish. I have xdm and shells look for $HOME/.environment and source it if it exists. It works pretty well for me since I can then put other garbage in ~/.profile that doesn't make sense for xdm.

The card is working fine for DOS/Win so I think the problem is with respect to emulation of the cards above. Is there anyone using this card with FreeBSD?

It must be nice to have the luxury of owning that opinion! :-) I think jfieber's idea has a lot going for it. It avoids the problem with the "semi-public" ( meaning public binaries for specific OS's, but no source ) WWW browsers such as mosaic and netscape being unusable with term unless one had the source and the required widgets, which, oddly enough, most modem-net users dont have... me, i still use chimera, it is getting better all the time!

Having a bunch of fun but among the little annoyances was the discovery that FreeBSD limits usernames to 8 characters. The machines that I am converting are in some cases using 9 and 10 character usernames. I've hunted down all the modules that I think I need to change. Some of the symbols are like "UT_NAMESIZE" ect. Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me about what I might break if I proceed to stretch this field out two more bytes? :-) As part of the "less limits" nature of the BSD4.4 I am surprised that this one is still there.

The seek offset has nothing to do with the real offset, although since the addition of the disklabel values is done in an unsigned long instead of an off_t ("long long" or "quad_t"), I believe you *will* see a 4G limit without further kernel work. Are you sure you meant "partition"? Eventually, someone will need to be lent a 9G disk to get the off_t changes propagated where they need to be...

This patch set does not include Brian Ellis' most recent patch to add the 4.4 lstat() compatability to 1.1.5, so unless you grab that from the news groups yourself, you won't be able to use links of type "file:" (for instance, to make a local home page, or to make your 'bookmarks' your home page). This includes all of the cut/paste and X11R5/X11R6 compatability crap for locale/nls. This does *not* include the Japanese locale stuff I recently discussed, since I don't know its distribution status.

How? > I didn't keep a copy (Jordan: that's why I haven't gotten back to you yet...). The main sticking point is the definition of these variables: setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB And the creation of the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls directory, since all of the locale stuff has changed with X11R6. Ignore the extract if you have XFree86 2.x instead of 3.x. Here is a tar'd, gzip'ped, uuencode'd version. It is relatively pathed, so you should be in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory when you extract it.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have a problem trying to telnet to a FreeBSD host running version 2.0R. The problem is that the host seems to forget the address of the machine trying to connect to it. I can connect to the BSD machine the first time after its been booted but then if I drop the connection and wait a reasonable time, say 20 minutes or so, I can't reconnect unless I refresh the arp tables using arp -a on the BSD host i wish to connect to. The setup of the machine is pretty well out of the box, all I have changed is kernel configuration to recognise my ethernet card and yesterday I also recompiled the kernel to include bpfilter. If I run tcpdump while I am trying to connect it shows the requests on the BSD host but it doesn't make the connection.

You have a large disk here, but are using a very aggressive translation scheme (4MB cylinders would be my guess). FreeBSD just plain doesn't deal with this properly, and if you flipped over to the second screen (ALT-F2) you'd probably see newfs complaining bitterly about how it wants the fragment/block sizes to be considerably larger.

I started to write a driver for a cheap and shitty (I can't think of another word) video capture card for a dedicated nv FreeBSD machine (if you knew how the card worked, you would know why it has to be dedicated to the capture application). I have written RGB "grabber" into nv compiled on Sun OS, so once I have the capture driver written with 24 bit RGB values, the rest is done. someone even asked if I could/would add a grabber for a card that has a Linux driver, I syill have you name/address and I haven't forgot you, I was just sidelined with a more pressing mbone request. that more pressing multicast problem (from the people that pay me) is vat. I am still trying to figure out what has been done and what needs to be done. yep, maybe FreeBSD "discussion" will be coming to your desktop RSN :). --mark From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 25 14:57:06 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id OAA05975 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 25 Jan 1995 14:57:06 -0800 Received: from moon.pr.erau.edu (moon.pr.erau.edu [192.101.135.8]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id OAA05967 for ; Wed, 25 Jan 1995 14:57:04 -0800 Received: by moon.pr.erau.edu (Smail3.1.29.1 #15) id m0rXGbs-000482C; Wed, 25 Jan 95 15:54 MST Date: Wed, 25 Jan 1995 15:54:44 -0700 (MST) From: Stephen Waits To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: TIA?

We actually boot off a much smaller (2GB) drive with a translated geometry of 2MB/cyl. This works fine. The other drives can be hand-newfs'd without any trouble since you're up and running at that point and can run newfs easily. At boot time, there isn't even a shell to facilitate this (no room!). I don't remember what kind of CDROM you have - can you refresh my memory?

I'm currently working on porting Khoros to FreeBSD 2.0, and have a couple of questions about how to compile our libraries so that both the *.a and the *.so file are created correctly. I have currently written the imake rules such that each *.c in a library is compiled twice. Once with the -fpic option, and once without. Then I use the *.o's with the -fpic option to compile the *.so library and the other *.o's to make a *.a library. This works perfectly, but it is annoying and time consuming to compile each *.c twice. So, my question is whether or not it is feasible to generate both a *.so and a *.a from one set of .o's. I tried generating a *.a from the .o's compiled with the -fpic option, and got an error while linking a program, so I know that doesn't work. Is there some option I'm missing? Am I stuck compiling this stuff twice? For reference, we are able to generate both shared and static libraries under OSF/1, SunOS, and Solaris. Any help appreciated.

Upon further investigation, it became appearent that the problem was in the fact that imake does some post processing on the Makefile by opening the file w+. This allows it to read the Makefile while writing out the modified information to the same file. (Seems kind of dangerous to me, but then I didn't write imake :^) Anyway, the problem is that it closes the file where it stopped reading instead of where it stopped writing, so garbage appears at the end. This is fixed by inserting an explicit ftruncate call right before closing the file. Since this ftruncate is not necessary on the other architectures we support, I was wondering if this is a bug in freebsd's fclose, or whether or not it is an undefined action that we've just been lucky with before this.. :^) Steve -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Jorgensen | Khoral Research Inc. steve@khoros.unm.edu | 6001 Indian School, Suite 200 (505) 837-6500 | Albuquerque, NM 87110 ------------------------+------------------------------------ This Space for Rent. | URL: http://www.khoros.unm.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 25 22:17:54 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id WAA17400 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 25 Jan 1995 22:17:54 -0800 Received: from pegasus.cc.ucf.edu (root@Pegasus.cc.ucf.edu [132.170.243.2]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id WAA17394 for ; Wed, 25 Jan 1995 22:17:53 -0800 Received: by pegasus.cc.ucf.edu (Smail3.1.28.1 #12) id m0rXNWq-00010jC; Thu, 26 Jan 95 01:18 EST Date: Thu, 26 Jan 1995 01:18:00 -0500 (EST) From: "Smith, Bryan Jon" X-Sender: ind00237@pegasus To: questions@FreeBSD.org cc: ind00237@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu Subject: Interested end-user, differences between Linux & FreeBSD Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello.

Many older sources expect that the offset is a long. But FreeBSD has now, like the other 4.4BSD derived Systems a long long instead ( 64 bits vs. 32 bits ). So the lseek and ftruncate should use an "off_t" type, also the intermediate variables where a return from lseek is stored need to be "off_t".

Yes and no. This is a relatively trivial task, but there is some disagreement on how it would be done. Would you want to dlopen() non-PIC object files? I'd like to hide the code in the kernel, then use it for modules. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

X-Mailer: Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi: I have version 1.1.5.1 running on a Gateway 2000 P5/60, and need to set up a tape backup. I have never done this before, and have one main question (so far :) 1) What are the pros/cons of IDE vs. SCSI? Can I use IDE? The SCSI tape backups all seem to be +/- $800. Can I get a cheaper alternative by doing IDE? 2) What are the issues about using SCSI/IDE, in relation to other peripherals? I have an IDE hard drive, for example... Thanks!!

Hubbard" Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello Paul, Rather than make confusing annotations, I'll simply re-write some of the text and let you deduce the changes (and decide whether or not you want them). Fair enough? --- ^{FreeBSD} is a derivative of ^{4.4 BSD Lite} for the ^{Intel} (^{i386/i486/Pentium}) architecture built from the ^{4.4 BSD Lite} release from the ^{Computer Systems Research Group} (^{CSRG}) at the ^{University of California, Berkeley}. It is supported by an international team of volunteers. Documentation is available in the 4.4BSD Document Set (Reference \citeref{bsd 44}). \query{We need a full biblio citation with exact title and publication date for that (O'Reilly, ISBN 1-56592-082-1), and also a description suitable for our Resources chapter.} Information and complete distributions are available over the Internet from "ftp.FreeBSD.org", with information also available from "info@FreeBSD.org" (general questions to "questions@FreeBSD.org"). It is also available on CD-ROM sold by, among others, Walnut Creek CD-ROM (send mail to "info@cdrom.com").

I think I've found the culprit, but I'm not sure of the fix. My example for this is the math.3 man page, it's got a tbl table near the start of it. tbl handles it fine, but man runs it through col, and col seems to eat all the nice spacing that tbl has constructed for it. I don't really use col, so I have copied it to col.orig and linked cat over it. Is there a better fix? Just to make sure my question stack is empty, does anyone remember the fix to get tk/tcl working right? I have d/l'ed the new tk/tcl (4.0xxx), but it dies in the math library.

X-Mailer: MUSIC/SP V3.1.1 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello folks. I have a few questions regarding the availability of software for FreeBSD 2.0. First is about drivers. I got a cdu33a Sony CDROM, which has the for it under Linux. Is it possible to use the CDROM drive under BSD. Second, I got the Jan 1995(4?) FreeBSD 2.0 CDROM from Walnut Creek The base system installs fine after copying them to my DOS partition. But the packages on the CDROM do not seems to work well... At least ome of them are not functional... And the amount of software on it can't compare to Linux ones... which the most recent I got is from InfoMagic which has 3 CD roms filling with a lot more software than the FreeBSD 2.0 one. As a Economics major... I can't say I am experienc- ed in compiling software, that is why I reinstalled Linux =( which I don't really like as it gave me a shakely appearance ( Look at how ast their kernel is coming out!) And also BSD gave me more resemblance SunOS than Linux does... Therefore I make a suggestion to CDROM vendors and the FreeBSD team to expand in the amount and easeness of software se... Don't tell me to ftp... I am very bad at finding programs on fferent nets(read ftp sites.) and also collecting them on a set of CDROM seems a good idea to me(with a 14.4Kmodem link.. ftping is a pain) I am here also to post a question as to if there exists some FreeBSD CDROMs that are comparable to the Linux ones in amount of softwaare on it if I am nto aware of their existance? Sorry, this is not a flame post... just a wanna-be BSD user expressing his concerns... Sincerely hopes the sucess in FreeBSD(and other free OS of course) Samuel C. F.

I backed up my D: drive (the one with DOS in the first partition) and dedicated the whole drive to FreeBSD. I had no problem at all. The whole installation went pretty smoothly. This leads me to suspect the drive translation scheme i.e. DOS's 255,63,243 versus more Unix like 2621,21,71. Does that fit with your thoughts? The CDRom was no problem. The only problems I had were: (1) my SMC 8013 which for various reasons is at Interrupt 2, I/O 0x260 and Memory CC00. FreeBSD only seems to allow it at 0x280 or 0x300. Is this modifiable in a kernel rebuild? (2) The Boot record didn't get written. should this be written to my primary drive (i.e. the Maxtor 213S sd0, the one that contains the active DOS partition)? At this point the only way I can boot FreeBSD is to load the Boot floppy and type sd(1,a)/kernel. If I do this what wil be the procedure to boot DOS? Finally, since my D: drive had all of my company's accounting info on it I would like to restore it at some stage. Any suggestions? Thanks again for your help. Dave On Wed, 25 Jan 1995, Jordan K.

It should work now, as long as the user doing the su'ing is a member of group wheel. If you meant to allow root login via telnet, you must tag all of the network pty's as "secure" in /etc/ttys. This is a security risk, so it is not done by default. If you meant to allow root login via rlogin/rsh/rcp/etc., the vouchafe authentication for root is different than it is for other users. You must make the telnet change, *plus* you must add appropriate entries to "root"'s .rhosts file (by default, "root"'s home directory is "/root", not "/". This can confuse things for you if you try this approach). I am unsure whether root rlogin demands a root password in all cases or not (as an addition security measure). If so, this will require that you modify ruserok() in libc and relink the daemons to make it happy. Actually, I hope it does not demand, but remember something about it doing it. I hope it does not, since there are several commercial remote backup facilities that will fail in this environment. It should be noted that almost any vouchsafe authentication (r-commands) can be compromised unless you firewall your local net, specifically port 53 for machines other than your gateway.

You can increase the MTU to 552 by adding: options "SLMTU=552" ...to your kernel config file. Increasing the MTU higher than this is too difficult to explain in a limited amount of time. MTU's higher than 552 won't normally buy you anything because the negotiated MSS for non-local networks is limited to 512 bytes. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 27 13:03:06 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id NAA27431 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 27 Jan 1995 13:03:06 -0800 Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.1]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA27422 for ; Fri, 27 Jan 1995 13:02:51 -0800 Received: from corbin.Root.COM (corbin.Root.COM [198.145.90.18]) by Root.COM (8.6.8/8.6.5) with ESMTP id MAA04019; Fri, 27 Jan 1995 12:36:17 -0800 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by corbin.Root.COM (8.6.9/8.6.5) with SMTP id MAA00898; Fri, 27 Jan 1995 12:36:16 -0800 Message-Id: <199501272036.MAA00898@corbin.Root.COM> X-Authentication-Warning: corbin.Root.COM: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol To: tucker@mdso.vf.ge.com cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Linksys Ether16 NE2000 card problems In-reply-to: Your message of "Fri, 27 Jan 95 10:37:35 EST." <9501271537.AA09172@sde832.mdso.vf.ge.com> From: David Greenman Reply-To: davidg@Root.COM Date: Fri, 27 Jan 1995 12:36:14 -0800 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >Hello, I'm having trouble getting the above mentioned NE2000 compat. card >to work in a new FreeBSD 2.0 system.

Unfortunately there have been many changes to the driver, some of which will make it not backward source compatible with 2.0. The simple remedy would be to upgrade to the _next_ snapshot (the current snapshot is very broken). I'm expecting this to be available in less than a week. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 27 13:24:18 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id NAA27993 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 27 Jan 1995 13:24:18 -0800 Received: from lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (lupine.nsi.nasa.gov [198.116.2.100]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA27987 for ; Fri, 27 Jan 1995 13:24:14 -0800 Received: (from mnewell@localhost) by lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (8.6.9/8.6.9) id QAA08724; Fri, 27 Jan 1995 16:22:46 -0500 Date: Fri, 27 Jan 1995 16:22:42 -0500 (EST) From: "Michael C.

I changed /usr/src/sys/net/if_sl.c to set SLMTU to 552; however I believe you can do it more easily by settting it in your kernel config file as options SLMTU=552 552 works well for me; your milage, of course, may vary...

I tried to kill tip and slattach to no avail. The man pages really don't say. I've simply been pulling the phone plug on the modem (internal 14.4 Hayes Accura on Com2(tty01)); 2)where can I get a nice copy of xv; 3) is there a better communications protocol out there that I can use.

We have around 3000 uucp feeds of mail and some subset of newsgroups hanging off of a P90/FreeBSD box. I used a single feed out of INN that is taken to a special exploder I developed. This exploder creates the individual batches which are then delivered into the uucp accounts with that Frenchy sendbatches package. This single feed out of INN is necessary because of some problems with managing the large number of file descriptors that would have been required. INN has at least one and probably two file descriptor leak bugs. I have a patch for one of them that does make a big difference in the robustness of INN with a lot of feeds. I had originally tried to use Solaris X86 to do that and had some level of success. INN under Solaris was able to use MMAP and I miss that with the FreeBSD. Unfortunately the Solaris TCP/IP implementation had some flaws that caused hangs and core dumps ect. It was even more frustrating for me because I couldn't really lift up the hood and find out what the problem was. We experimented with Linux and FreeBSD, finally settling on FreeBSD. I'm now very happy (with sources !). FreeBSD handles the heavy load quite well and its nothing short of amazing. Salutations to the FreeBSD team. Even without MMAP the INN resource utilization does not appear hampered and the batching of the individual feeds goes faster than the Solaris box. I have only one more SYSV era machine to convert to the new era.

I'm setting up a simple network in my basement with a sparc2 and a 486dx50. I want to connect this to the internet via ppp. The serial port on the sparc is very slow, and rather than spring 300$ for sbus card to get a fast serial port, I spent 30$ and got fast serial port for the pc. I then loaded my first unix OS (freebsd), then got X going and configed the serial ports such that the modem and the mouse work fine. My internet provider will help me set up ppp. I have ethernet going without a hitch using smc card on the pc. Since I will basically just be routing from the PC to the sparc it ought to not be that difficult to set up. Is there a FAQ about setting up what I need. I didn't see much in the current freebsd faq except a refenece to gateway, and the older freebsd faq makes a reference to freefall.cdrom but I can't locate anything there that looks like it might be of help. I will have assistance in doing this but am also doing it as an educational experience (so I will contract some of it and learn as I go). I am still working on setting up nfs on the bsd pc such that I can use the cdrom on the sparc and haven't been successful yet. I had a sony cdrom on the pc for the install but it was rejected, so I was able to ftp to the sun( in configed the network first thing automatically) and ftp the install files from the Sun cdrom. That was nice! Once again, many thanks. If I can load this OS and config X, anyone can do it. Dave PS: if anyone has other options or possibilites for setting this up I'd be open to suggestions. I'm going to be using 28.8 modem (usr courier to 28.8 usr courier).

The option is still there since we use the same installation script for both network and CD distributions. This will probably be handled more gracefully on the 2.1 CD.

I have just gotten release 2.0 up and running on my machine. The hurdle I'm attempting to jump now is getting XFree86 up and running. The install notes leave a _lot_ to be desired. I'm requesting just a basic reference document that explains the steps to getting XFree86 installed then configured for a new FreeBSD user. Ideally I'd like to see high-level steps as follows: 1. Installing XFree86 2. Configuring the server for your hardware 3. Installing windows managers (i.e., OpenLook, Motif, etc...) 4. Configuring users for X 5. Maintenance, application installation, etc... By the way, is there a Motif manager for XFree86 and FreeBSD? I've found the OpenLook manager already. If it helps to explain where I'm coming from, I've been a user and administrator for a small network of Sparc stations running Solaris 2.3. That's the paradigm I'm used to. ------- Jerry Kelley jerryk@indy.net "Life is simply a quest to be somewhere else."

The BIOS remaps the drive settings to 523cyls, 32hds, and 63sec. When FreeBSD boots, it prints an error message along the lines that "can't handle 32hds, changing to controller default of 16." If I use FreeBSD's fdisk to change the drive geometry back to the BIOS remapping, it will also print that message again. If FreeBSD attempts to use the original (nonmapped) drive geometry, then it does not peacfully coexist with the system, and FreeBSD won't boot, or if I coerce it, it wont read the drive partition after booting. Any ideas on how I may procede? I am also having problems getting FreeBSD's fdisk to deal with my 2nd IDE drive, a 1GB WDC drive. Thanks, D.

You should find under ports/utils/screen/patches the necessary patches for FreeBSD. You can also get the whole ports/utils/screen tree and then simply do a "make" and it will produce a hopefully working binary for you :-).

It asked for a group and I gave it the name of a new group. If I log in under that account ('jerry'), I can't 'su'. It says that I don't belong to a group than can 'su'. I edited /etc/passwd and changed the group for 'jerry' to wheel (which is 0). This didn't change a thing. How can I get modify my account so I can 'su'? I am currently having to login as root to do any real work on the system. 2) How can I add or remove users and groups? I tried the 'adduser' command but there isn't an executable under that name (at least not in the path). Is it safe to just edit /etc/passwd and /etc/group? 3) Is there a good Korn shell out there for FreeBSD? Thanks in advance. ------- Jerry Kelley jerryk@indy.net "Life is simply a quest to be somewhere else."
