You can enable the mouse at boot time by using "-c", but your kernel building problem is probably due to commenting out too many options/devices (or too few). If you can't send us the kernel config, make *minimal* adjustments to GENERIC and proceed with caution. Many of the options are interdependent (and most are documented in LINT) and you may have created an inconsistent config. > Oh one more thing - can you recommend a currently (and commonly) available video card that > works with XF86?

First, 2.1 is ancient history. You maybe able to get it to boot by using 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt, but I suspect this only works with 2.1.5 and later. Your best option would be to have the root partition which can be fairly small - 30MB is more than enough for most people) on the *first* hard disk.

Does this machine has a CMD640 EIDE controller by any chance (I think Win95 will tell you that, as will the probe messages printed when you boot FreeBSD's install floppy). If this is the case, put the disk you're installing to and the CD you're installing from on the *same* IDE channel and disable the secondary IDE channel when you install. Later on, built a new kernel with options "CMD640" in it.

System setup: two disks, both SCSI. SCSI ID 0 has Win95 and WinNT. SCSI ID 1 has FreeBSD. Boot selection is with bteasy, I think. (F1 DOS, F2 Disk 2 -- that sound right?) Today: my system misbehaved, and the scsi "verify media" test told me that block 0 on SCSI ID 0 was damaged, and had to be remapped. In doing so, I lost the ability to, well, boot. I've installed OSBS20B8 on it, so I can boot BSD, anyway. But my question is: can I fix this? Can I get that block 0 back to something reasonable, without having to reinstall Win95 and NT? (Well, if it comes to that point, I don't think I'd install Win95 again. It likes wiping out all disks too much, when doing an install. Plus it was just such a pain in the ass to deal with. Not that NT was a whole lot easier, but the only problem I had with that, really, was the ethernet card needing a newer device driver. As to why I run Windows -- multimedia stuff only works under Win95, and I use Quicken under NT.) So... can I recover from this? Thanks... Sean.

If you'd prefer a text-only method (good for scripts), there's: /usr/sbin/mixer which (at least) is available on R2.2.1. For playing .au's and other PCM-outputs, try: mixer vol 50 to adjust the global card volume mixer pcm 50 to be selective and just affect PCM.

The filters seems to work ok, and i'm beginning to wonder if this is a problem with the printer itself...i.e. the character set or something. I've had the same thing happen printing out ascii stuff also (long email files). If anyone has a clue about this i'd be interested. I've been thru about 2 reams of paper trying to figure this out and am just about ready to bail and buy a postscript printer.

We have been given 24 IP addresses from our up line ISP. I am now in the process of installing a full blown network for our entire organization (approximately 60 users). I have chosen MS NT 4.0 as my network operating system. In order to ensure security for my network server, I have made the decision to not run the TCP/IP protocol on the NT server. Further, I do not want to use the NT server as my webserver. I am very happy with the FreeBSD server. The problem that I have is that I do not have enough IP address to give out to the rest of my users for Internet access. I could bug my up line ISP for these address; however, I really do not want to allow my users Internet access. All I really want is to give them a way to send and receive Internet email. Is it possible to add additional IP address to the FreeBSD server that will allow my users to connect their workstations to this machine and go no further? I am not a Unix guru and have very little knowledge of hardcore networking issues. If you could give me some guidance I would be very appreciative. Thanks Kreg N.

However there's an alternative that I use, an awk script as follows: BEGIN { print("E&k3G(s0p12v0s0b3T&a06L") # courier 12 point } {print} END { print("E") } I call this (it's named qp.awk) from a shell script, qp, that looks like this: #!/bin/sh awk -f ~/bin/qp.awk $1 | lpr so I just type qp to print. qp.awk resets the printer, tells the printer to reinterpret unix line endings, selects a typeface, and sets a left margin. At the end, it resets the printer. The ^[ in the above are decimal 027's created, in vi, with Ctrl-v. You can also put these strings directly into the document. qp.awk above (and qp) and in ~/bin and are executable.

Since my C drive is primarily used I'll relate my experience, even if it wasn't a totally successfull one. I wanted to do just the same thing, but the installation floppy (and the GENERIC kernel later on) recognized the drives as wd0 for the first IDE, the Win95 one, and wd2 for the second one (I assume the slave on the first controller would be wd1 and the slave on the second would be wd3). I installed Boot Manager on both drives and I could switch between drives with no problems, except that I could never get the kernel to boot from wd2, even after compiling a custom kernel with the line: config kernel root on wd2 I had to type 1:wd(2,a)/kernel or some such thing everytime, or it would "panic" when it didn't find wd1 (which of course is not there). Changing the devices on the fstab file didn't work either....) Maybe you could plug your Win95 drive to the second IDE controller, install FreeBSD on a drive on the first controller and install Boot Manager on the FreeBSD drive.

It is my intention that the Windwos 95 clients on the LAN as well as the FreeBSD box use unregistered IP addresses for their LAN interfaces. I am using EROLS as an ISP. It seems like the logon process is failing in both interactive and automatic modes. What complicates this is the fact that there seems to be inconsistencies between the ppp man pages and the ppp tutorial on the FreeBSD web site. Has anyone done this with FreeBSD 2.1.5 and better yet using Erols as an ISp??

Did you try to swap the disk names `wd1' and `wd2' in your kernel configuration file, i. e. give the first disc on the second controller the name `wd1''? This should solve your problem.

Doing "show log" indicates that I have logged in successfully. I do alt-F1, recieve a warning that I will lose data on my hard drive if I continue, see a few install mesages, and finally the following message: Logging in to ftp@ftp.freebsd.org.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

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

Anyway, install goes ok, boots ok. Enabled the ide drive, which has 2.1.7 on it. Gets the boot prompt F1 -DOS, F2-2.1.7 and F5 2nd DISK. Press F5 and get "F?". I've seen this before, and done the fixes recommended by assuming this is a geometry problem. It doesn't seem to be. Used booteasy 2 beta (8?). No help. When F2 is pressed (ide drive 2.1.7) at the boot prompt I type in sd(0,a)/kernel and it boots wd(0,a)/kernel with no errors. That is it *seems* to take the arguement "sd(0,a)" but runs wd(0,a) and it ends up running 2.1.7, not 2.2.2-R. This isn't a show stopper, but I'm curious and I'd *really* like to boot the scsi disk with the ide disk in the system. Is there a reason I can't? os-bs (osbs20b8.exe) locks up when run on the dos partition on the ide disk.

If your problem is with just a single application, probably the writers did it on purpose. Core dumps can be a big security problem so it is not uncommon for applications to skip creating them if they crash. You'll have to check the application's documentation to see if there is a way to enable the core dumps or to get some form of contact to check out your problem.

Sigh oh well seems i'm going back to > the good old method of guessing and praying :) Just a thought. On many UNIX systems core dumps are placed in a file named "core" in the current working directory. On FreeBSD the program name is prepended along with a period, so if program "foo" dumps core, you should look for a file "foo.core". If you're not used to that then you probably won't see the core dump files.... -Dave From owner-freebsd-questions Sun May 25 22:03:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA28602 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 25 May 1997 22:03:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from iceberg.anchorage.net.

Anyway, I have the following in my printcap file; I run a Deskjet 694c, a Cannon Bubblejet 330, and an ancient Star NX1000. I am using a slightly modified lp-bjif file given to me by someone some time back. Sorry, cant find your name now if you recognise the code. It has been very useful though. Short, and to the point.

I suspect these work on the Cannon to, but havent tried it yet. The Deskjet understands PCL it seems, and if you look on HP.COM's page, you'll find the printer manual for Deskjet 500's.

But I found a way arouund that to... On the server, I have in my own user directory a set of files called dump.xxxx whatever. These I use to backup across the network to a machine that idles away, as a secondary, SSL server, and TapeDumper! It does play up occassionally, and actually takes two tapes now, but it does work. If I use 1 525Mb tape for each file system, its fine. Comment out one line at a time. #!/bin/sh #dumps var and user to one, 525Mb tape. /sbin/rdump 0ufB ruby:/dev/nrst0 525000 /var /sbin/rdump 0ufB ruby:/dev/nrst0 525000 /usr rsh ruby mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind echo "Tape dump complete" This one does a cpio type backup of a directory; A bit painful, but it does work; #!/bin/sh # use remote tape to backup local host (cd /usr/local/etc; find . -print | cpio -oc) | rsh ruby "dd of=/dev/rst0 bs=20b " echo "Done archiving nanguo:/usr/local to ruby:rst0" Now, for dumping the devices that the tape drive actually lives on, I had to experiment for AGES,so that the tape wouldn't "shoeshine", to get; #Dump /u file system to 150Mb tape dump 0ufBb - 150000 10 /u | team 1m 10 > /dev/nrst0 mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind echo "Dump Done" Of course, (he says of course!), you have to make sure that rhosts is set up on the other machine, for network dumping to work. And hosts.lpd to get printing working. Hope thats of help to some folks, and I would also like to say MANY THANKS to those patient souls who have helped me thus far. cheers, Bob ~ -- http://www.chalmers.com.au Books-New & Secondhand Support Whirled Peas.

You have to mount your FAT partition, and then configure a vn device on the Windows swapfile and use that as your wsap partition. See man vnconfig for details (I think it's also covered in the FAQ or handbook somewhere, under something like: "I ran out of swap, what should I do?" or the like). It is slower because all swapping will have to go through both the vn code and the msdosfs code, instead of going directly to the raw disk device, but it's workable.

I've made it on 2.1.5. 1) configure your kernel with ``pseudo-device vn'', and boot it 2) mount your dos partition (of course, read-write ;-) 3) vnconfig -cs labels /dev/vn0 /your/path/to/386spart.par 4) disklabel -r -w /dev/vn0 auto 5) swapon /dev/vn0c i) It's coming from my head (I made it on my home machine), so check for typos, etc. ii) the 2) is very dangerous as I know with pre-2.2 versions, if the DOS partition was bigger with 1M and splitted with fips (or is bigger now!) iii) the vnconfig's -s option isn't documented in my version, I found it in the sources - maybe it has changed. iv) the 4) point will give you warnings about incorrect pack label or something - as I know, doesn't matter v) As I know, you cannot ``swapoff', so you cannot umount your DOS disk vi) as I know, windows will be screaming, that its swap file is corrupt or something like this, so you have to recreate it in the next win-start-time.

Also, after you fix that, start X by using either xdm or startx, and not X.

That worked great. PAO is supposed to know which irq to use, but since it didn't have a specific conf for mine, it was using a generic one. I switched the irq from any (which means choose from any availible ones) to 5, which worked!!!

I have changed the network adapter three times and this morning a put in a new motherboard, and still no change. My hardware is as follows : 133Mhz Pentium Asus P/I -P55TVP4/133 IDE controller + 1.6G drive D-link De220 network adapter (in non PNP mode) The error started when I upgraded to 2.2-stable from 2.2.1-RELEASE. The make world also failed twice. The error is probably hardware related, because both NT and DOS give me network errors. But can it be the adapter? (All three?)

I haven't used pine with imap, much less run into problems with it so I can't offer any suggestions on why imap left the mailbox unreadable. Except for the usual differences in how access is controlled. I.e., some mailers like to use group "mail", some like to use the owner. What are the permissions on your /var/mail/you file before and after an imap session? Also, in my limited testing of Netscape mail using IMAP, I didn't see any huge (30 second) hit. Reverse DNS problem maybe? That's the most common cause of huge lags in network response. > >Deliver mail for shell users to the shell machine? > > Would be nice, but there's only one customer that uses only his > shell.

Then I'd have all the mail clients on the shell machine compiled to use POP or IMAP and skip the NFS mount. Both elm and pine can do it, users don't use /usr/bin/mail (at least none of ours do).

I had to replace a segment of coax that had been damaged when crushed by a desk. Other times, it was either a terminator or a T that had gone bad. If you are indeed using coax as your network media, make sure that one end is grounded (only one end). Second, make sure that each piece of wire is long enough (I would say at least 6 feet). Third, check to see if there's any T 's that are gone bad (doens't take much). Finally, make sure that your terminators are in good shape. Remember also, that you can only have 2 terminators on any one network. If you are using TP wiring, make sure that all the connections are good, and that you have at least cat3 wire for 10baseT, and cat5 for 100baseT. One bad connection can cause major problems on such a network. In both cases, a test kit is indespensible. -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 26 12:44:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA07286 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 26 May 1997 12:44:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from charmed.wilshire.net ([206.250.85.80]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA07265 for ; Mon, 26 May 1997 12:44:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dogshow (pool009.max1.montebello.ca.us.dynip.earthlink.net [206.85.113.9]) by charmed.wilshire.net (8.8.5/8.8.3) with SMTP id MAA01193 for ; Mon, 26 May 1997 12:44:09 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199705261944.MAA01193@charmed.wilshire.net> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Riley J.

There's a howto with the details available somewhere at http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw Basically, it's like this: create a logical dos partition create the windows swap file , but do not use it yet. reboot to freebsd use dd to copy the first portion of the windows swap drive (1 meg should be enough) gzip and store this file in /etc With linux, you simply issue the mkswap command on this partition, but with FreeBSD, you'll probably have to do something like: store a copy of the partition table -- dos.partition maybe? make a new partition table, redefining the windows swap drive as a FreeBSD slice store a copy of the new partition table and disklabel disklabel that slice to make it all swap Next, modify /etc/rc to write the freebsd partition table and disklabel on every boot then, format? the swap partition, and turn it on. When you shut down freebsd, you'll need to restore the drive for dos to use: turn swap off copy the dos partition table back to the drive copy the dos partition image file back to the slice There may be more involved, and there may be an easier way. I've no interest in trying it, since I seem to have plenty of swap at this time (though I could probably save about 100 megs if I did it) -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 26 14:04:36 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA10820 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 26 May 1997 14:04:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from netrail.net (nathan@netrail.net [205.215.6.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA10814 for ; Mon, 26 May 1997 14:04:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (nathan@localhost) by netrail.net (8.8.5/Netrail) with SMTP id RAA05071 for ; Mon, 26 May 1997 17:04:25 -0400 Date: Mon, 26 May 1997 17:04:24 -0400 (EDT) From: Nathan Stratton To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: NFSV3 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have having problems getting a directory mounted over NFS.

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.1 (using the Walnut Creek CDROM) on an IBM aptiva K45.

The last messages that appear on my screen are: npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface apm0 disabled, not probed After that it just hangs. (I've tried to disable all devices on the kernel configuration window but it didn't work. I've also removed the network adapter and the MWave board, but this didn't work either) The most strange thing is that I was able to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 on the same machine without any problems. (FreeBSD 2.1.5 is presently running on this machine. I'm trying to make an upgrade). Thanks in advance for your help. P.S.

Briefly we have a 12 station network running NetBEUI and TCP/IP, with a gateway to a Novell subnet (also routing TCP/IP). All our IP address space is properly subnetted and routed. I currently have NT 3.51/SP4 doing all the routing for us from a dedicated Internet connection. It is also a Web and FTP server, and is getting very heavily loaded. I am trying to set up FreeBSD/IPFW as a firewall to manage the ppp link and packet filtering. I believe I have set up and installed a Custom Kernel correctly, and edited my sysconfig accordingly. The box runs fine, and I have it sitting on an ethernet connection on a spare IP address to the Internet. With only one network card in it right now, however. I seem to be unable to do anything with ipfw, however. On boot, the error: /sbin/ipfw setsockopt failed issues, and subsequent attempts to do anything with ipfw (e.g. add rules or list the one default rule, etc.) result in errors like: ipfw getsockopt (IP_FW_GET) Invalid argument. I've read and re-read and... all the docs I can find without success. Any and all suggestions very much appreciated -- and please email me directly.

But a more generic answer is that it probably isn't the role of freebsd-questions to help with the details of specific software packages; rather, there are other resources, e.g., there's a mailing list for majordomo; there's some list/newgroup for X-Windows somewhere; there's a newsgroup for pine, for sendmail, for unix in general, for awk, for C, for web servers and web authoring, a mailing list for mutt, and so forth. Perhaps it is an appropriate to ask on freebsd-questions which ports or packages might serve a particular purpose (which was the point of the original questions here, actually) or whether there's some problem with them in their interaction with the operating system.... Meanwhile if pine can really easily do Reply To:, this message should have a Reply To: xanadu@andrsn.stanford.edu.

Your .profile doesn't get read when you run a shell through rsh because the shell isn't started as a login shell. You need to set the PATH in the non-login rc file...

I tell you what. There must be an easier method than all this poxing about with a couple of dozen config files, with examples for everything except what we need. It's worse than UUCP! Well, I've read the manual. I've even had ppp working. But each time I come back to it, I get involved in stuffing around with a slightly different setup. This time, the site I'm dialing into is a PAP site. This means that the connection simply sits there waiting for the PAP authentication, so manual dialing wont work. I dial in and get CONNECTED 38400 and thats it. Ok, a question on the ppp.secret file. > /etc/ppp/ppp.secret > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > # Sysname Secret Key Peer's IP address > 10.0.0.1 Who's machine name? mine, or their's.

Well Kevin. I tried everything, and although I can get it to dial the site, thats as far as I get. I guess its that ppp.secret file. I see the ppp.conf.sample file has a papsite entry that uses authname authword type of thing? Is this in addition to ppp.secret, or in place of? The other thing. I had pppd working fine. But how does this use PAP? No one, including the manual knows! or at least aren't telling anyone anyway. Anyway, thanks for your clear description to the other chap, it certainly helped. > > _______________________________________ > |\ /| > | \ kevin_eliuk@sunshine.net / | > | \ Kevin G.

If I know well, termio.h is an old SysV-ism. Old BSD machines used to have sgtty.h (BSD) or something, and most of the modern Unices use termios.h (POSIX). So you have to find an old SVR2 machine somewhere. Well, if I remember well, Coherent had termio, too.

(I'm using bash) 1) As somebody else said it, the correct form is: make world > /proxy/world3 2>&1 because redirection occures (most of the times) from left to right. So, in your version: stdout goes to tty stderr goes to tty redirection 2>&1 stderr goes to the same place as stdout, which is (of course) tty redirection > file stdout goes to file With the correct version: redirection > file stdout goes to file redirection 2>&1 stderr goes to the same place, as stdout, which is (now) file This type of redirection is working on all of the Bourne-shell-like shells (sh/ksh/pdksh/bash/zsh) 2) RTMF! from bash manual: --- Note that the order of redirections is significant. For example, the command ls > dirlist 2>&1 directs both standard output and standard error to the file dirlist, while the command ls 2>&1 > dirlist directs only the standard output to file dirlist, because the standard error was duplicated as standard output before the standard output was redirected to dirlist. .... Redirecting Standard Output and Standard Error Bash allows both the standard output (file descriptor 1) and the standard error output (file descriptor 2) to be redirected to the file whose name is the expansion of word with this construct. There are two formats for redirecting standard output and standard error: &>word and >&word Of the two forms, the first is preferred. This is seman- tically equivalent to >word 2>&1 This type of redirection is working only in bash (and not in any other sh-like shells - as I know -, but it works with csh, and other csh-like versions - tcsh, itcsh (I think, I've newer used itcsh)). 3) If you like, you can use your method, but with some minor corrections: ( make world 2>&1 >> /proxy/world3 ) > /proxy/world3 or { make world 2>&1 >> /proxy/world3 ; } > /proxy/world3 Of course, without the parentheses, it doesn't work (well, it shouldn't), and you have to use append ( >> ) inside. Well, why? It's your exercise.

I've been told today already. I've just spent a couple of hours (again) looking all the way through the freebsd.org site, FAQ, Handbook, and various online references. I've translated the man pages line by line, looking for clues on how pppd works, along with PAP. Precious little there is! Anything I have found I have printed out. About 1 sheet of paper it amounts to. :-) Here is what I'm looking for. I wish to be able to automatically dial, and redial if line hangs up, the server on another site, that requires PAP authentication. I have a working 'options' file, and a working 'chat' script file.

The other server is NT. Doesn't anyone use pppd at all? There are a zillion examples of ppp, but NONE of pppd. and I gave up on ppp as well. That sodding ppp.secrets file again.

The name is coming from the ENV environment variable, settable in /etc/profile or ~/.profile - but they weren't read. Catch22.

Well, I think it's not termcap specific. I tried it with xmodmap, and with: xmodmap -e 'keycode 36 = Linefeed Return' I've got, that return will be ^J (instead of ^M), and ^-return will be ^J, too. You can get ^M with Shift-return. I didn't find in the manual, how can we change the Ctrl-foo modifier, but I think it's there. Try to grab the Xkeycaps program, and try to generate with ctrl-return the needed ctrl-j (without remapping return, too). If you know, send it to me, too! Gabor PS: or use xmodmap -e 'keycode 36 = Return Linefeed' so return will ^M, ctrl-return will ^M, too, but shift-return will ^J -- #!/bin/ksh Z='21N16I25C25E30, 40M30E33E25T15U!' ;IFS=' ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ';set $Z;for i { [[ $i = ? ]]&&print $i&&break;[[ $i = ??? ]]&&j=$i&&i=${i%?};typeset -i40 i=8#$i;print -n ${i#???};[[ "$j" = ??? ]]&&print -n "${j#??} "&&j=;typeset +i i;};IFS=' 0123456789 ';set $Z;X=;for i { [[ $i = , ]]&&i=2;[[ $i = ?? ]]||typeset -l i;X="$X $i";typeset +l i;};print "$X" From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 27 05:06:26 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA10198 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 27 May 1997 05:06:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.EUnet.hu (www.eunet.hu [193.225.28.100]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA10188 for ; Tue, 27 May 1997 05:06:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mail.EUnet.hu, id OAA18646; Tue, 27 May 1997 14:06:04 +0200 Received: (from zgabor@localhost) by CoDe.hu (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA00626; Tue, 27 May 1997 12:19:33 +0200 (MET DST) From: Zahemszky Gabor Message-Id: <199705271019.MAA00626@CoDe.hu> Subject: Re: print filter To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org (FreeBSD questions) Date: Tue, 27 May 1997 12:19:32 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: un_x@anchorage.net In-Reply-To: from Steve Howe at "May 22, 97 05:52:05 pm" X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL11 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > this is an "auto" bsd/dos lp filter i whipped up ... > can anyone tell me why it prints a blank line at the > beginning of each document (not page, document ...)? Well, I tried it but I don't know. Maybe your laziness about "-s, or some bug in sh, I don't know. Instead of if [ .. ] , try eliminating the test, and the backtick. if echo "$line1" | grep -q '^M' ; then ... (Well, in 2.1.5, the -q option of grep isn't documented in the synopsis of the grep manual, only in the long description). Of course, this version is cheaper with two forks/one exec (with one/zero, if [ is a builtin command in sh), and some builtin redirection because of the `. So I don't know, if it works, but if not, you tuned your machine's performance, at least. ;-) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > #!/bin/sh > # > # simple lp text filter (BSD/DOS) > > read line1 > > if [ `echo $line1|grep ^M` ]; then > echo $line1 && cat && echo ^L && exit 0 > else { echo $line1 && cat; } | sed s/$/^M/ && echo ^L && exit 0 > fi > exit 2 Gabor -- #!/bin/ksh Z='21N16I25C25E30, 40M30E33E25T15U!' ;IFS=' ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ';set $Z;for i { [[ $i = ? ]]&&print $i&&break;[[ $i = ??? ]]&&j=$i&&i=${i%?};typeset -i40 i=8#$i;print -n ${i#???};[[ "$j" = ??? ]]&&print -n "${j#??} "&&j=;typeset +i i;};IFS=' 0123456789 ';set $Z;X=;for i { [[ $i = , ]]&&i=2;[[ $i = ?? ]]||typeset -l i;X="$X $i";typeset +l i;};print "$X" From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 27 05:06:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA10214 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 27 May 1997 05:06:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.EUnet.hu (www.eunet.hu [193.225.28.100]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA10189 for ; Tue, 27 May 1997 05:06:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mail.EUnet.hu, id OAA18643; Tue, 27 May 1997 14:06:04 +0200 Received: (from zgabor@localhost) by CoDe.hu (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA00525; Tue, 27 May 1997 11:54:09 +0200 (MET DST) From: Zahemszky Gabor Message-Id: <199705270954.LAA00525@CoDe.hu> Subject: Re: NFSV3 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org (FreeBSD questions) Date: Tue, 27 May 1997 11:54:09 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: nathan@netrail.net In-Reply-To: from Nathan Stratton at "May 26, 97 05:04:24 pm" X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL11 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > I have having problems getting a directory mounted over NFS.

W. Ballantine" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have an install problem that is driving me nuts (really only a short drive). I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my home machine and everything works fine until I add packages and at that time I get the file system full error message. The system is set up with: / 40meg /var 50meg swap 125meg /local 100meg /home 100meg /usr/X11R6 200meg /usr 400meg. What I did was load the X11-developers distribution and when asked about loading the ports distribution replied Yes. I then setup a user, passwords and screensaver. I then rebooted the system and configured mykernel ( the system has a P/S mouse ), ran make and install and then rebooted again. The system then came up with my kernel, so I could configure X11 and then I tried to do the package adds. I selected a smallish subset of the packages and started install. It got through about 95% through the install and then started to get the file system is full errors. When I looked at the FS's it was /usr that was full. So I started again, but this time I did load the ports distribution. Again, everything loaded fine until the package adds, and again the file system is full errors. But this time when I checked, it was the / FS that was full. I have setup ppp during the initial load (never used it or changed anything) and also loaded apache (again loaded during setup only). Anyone have any ideas what the heck is going on here. Do I just need to increase the FS's (or add another for /etc?) or is it something more subtle?

I'd suggest you upgrade to 2.2.1 unless you have an adaptec 2940 card. 2.2.2 has updated adaptec drivers, however there are a few changes in the conf/sysconfig files and such that (from the letters here) aren't quite fleshed out yet.

A few days ago I had a chance to test a SB/AWE-64 card, which naturally didn't come out well at all. It appears to be a plain PnP card which simply keeps dead silent until it has had it's dose of PnP initialization/probing. Because a growing number of all kinds of devices are adopting PnP as their standard feature which they cannot do without, it seems there is a growing need for PnP support also in FreeBSD. Is there any ongoing work within the FreeBSD community to support PnP? If so, when could we expect to see some early experimental version's source code floating around?

You can simply download the boot floppy and see if it picks up your device. 3.0 is still a long way from completion, and even when it is released it will probably be less stable than 2.2.2. > Is it possible to do masquerading over an ethernet device?

Section 8 is for system administration, section 1 is for user comamnds, etc. You use the section number to differentiate between two commands with the same name--for example, try man chmod man 1 chmod man 2 chmod The first two give you the same page but the third gives you a completely different page.

Any help would be appreciated. I am working on an sh script to be run by cron every 5 minutes to check and see if a certain process is running, and if it's not to start it up. I have a script that works just fine for this task, however on those occasions that the process is not running and it needs to start it, I get some unusual leftovers from cron that I would like to eliminate, or at least verify to be non-harmful. In the following script, adjkerntz is the guinea pig process (since I don't want to kill the one I'm actually testing for :), however the behaviour is the same. System is 2.2.1-Release. Here is the script: #!/bin/sh /bin/ps -ax | /usr/bin/grep [a]djkerntz if [ $? = 1 ] ; then /sbin/adjkerntz -i fi Here is the cron job: */2 * * * * root /home/root/test.sh And here is the result when it has to start the process: 6591 ?? I 0:00.01 CRON (cron) 6592 ?? Z 0:00.00 (sh) 6598 ?? Is 0:00.01 /sbin/adjkerntz -i A kill for 6591 in this example also eliminates the zombie (sh) process, and the ghost CRON thinger doesn't seem to have any adverse affect on the system, however I don't want to take chances since the whole point of this is to have it run safely unattended. I'm open to other ways to do the test for the process (that don't involve the .pid file), however I don't think that that part of the script is the problem, since I can do the test all day long and it won't cause that ghost CRON whether the test fails or succeeds. It's only when cron actually starts the process that I get that. The script works from the command line without problems as well. Finally, if anyone has a clever ways to stop cron from mailing me every 5 minutes to tell me it did nothing I'd love to hear them. Also, my apologies if I'm missing something painfully obvious here, I've read everything I could find and talked to several people who have a lot of experience with sh scripts, and they were just as mystified as I am.

I have a little-used notebook running FreeBSD, and I'd like to make more use of it. First, though, I'd like to take advantage of an opportunity to upgrade the hard drive in it from the current .5 GB to a .8 GB, but I need to do it rather quickly so as to free up the .5 for use elsewhere (otherwise the .8 gets used there). This may be easy for some of you, but it's not immediately obvious to me how to go about it. I've poked around in the Handbook and in Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD" but didn't stumble across anything that really covered my situation. Here's what I've got to work with: A LapLink cable A Dell Latitude LX I built from leftover parts running FreeBSD, containing the .5 GB drive Another Latitude LX I built from leftover parts running Windoze An empty 810 MB hard drive This here desktop machine running FreeBSD, connected to the net, with an attached SCSI CD-ROM drive (I have the Walnut Creek CD- ROM), a SCSI 525 tape drive, and nonworking floppy drives FreeBSD 2.1.5 on both FreeBSD machines What complicates this is that the notebooks have no SCSI capability, and only one each floppy and hard drives. My assumption is that I ought to be able to put the blank .8 drive in the Windoze notebook, boot from a floppy containing a minimal FreeBSD, connect the two notebooks with the LapLink cable (using either the serial or the parallel ports), and suck all the contents of the .5 drive over to the .8. I have no idea how to do this, though I could do it easily on my old Atari (but then that was SCSI). I have successfully formatted a UFS floppy on the FreeBSD notebook, but can't find boot.flp on the hard drive to try sticking it on the formatted floppy. I assume that I could use the LapLink cable between the FreeBSD notebook and my desktop machine to suck the needed file(s) off of the CD-ROM, but have never done that before. If someone could tell me what bare minimum set of files to copy to the UFS floppy to boot and transfer the files, perhaps I won't need to involve the CD-ROM drive. This is further complicated by my need to do this by Friday morning or give up and let the .8 drive go on to other uses that the .5 could serve equally well. Surely, this can't be difficult, and must be something that others have faced when upgrading as well. Or does everyone else just reinstall from scratch every time (something I've never done)? Assume that I have no idea what I'm doing and you won't be wrong.

I am almost there! PPP dials out, logs in, and the lower-case ppp turns into upper-case PPP. What next? I have tried keying in "shell" at the prompt--is this correct? (I am doing this from the shell, I haven't gotten X working again yet.) I got a terminal, as I expected, but when I tried lynx, ftp, and ping, only ping worked. Oh, by the way, the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf script didn't dial out until I commented out the line "net:". The modem clicked to attention, but it then didn't know what to do. Hmm.

Building a bootable FreeBSD floppy is a very nontrivial task, and it's not required here. What I suggest you do is: First install FreeBSD on the new drive. The easiest would be to set up your desktop machine to FTP or NFS (I prefer the latter personaly) serve the CD-ROM, connect the machines over the parallel port and set up PLIP (Parallel Link IP, the lp0 interface - see the handbook for details). Then, simply boot the install floppy on the laptop where the new drive is and install to it as usual. Once you're done you can boot FreeBSD off the new disk and repeat the trick with the other laptop and transfer whatever you like out of it (again, either with FTP or NFS), or better still (if you can) have both disks on the same machine (temporarily) and copy over whatever you need.

I got the port, then ran make fetch. The file emacs-19.14.tar.gz was retrieved. Before installing it I decided to get documentain from www.xemacs.org, When I got to the site I noticed that emacs-19.15.tar.gz was the latest version of xemacs. Patches are available to move 19.14 to 19.15 at the site. How should I install xemacs?, should I install 19.14 then get the patches? I am fairly new to unix systems so any help would be appriciated.

I have a spare disk that I disklabeled and created file systems on with newfs, and then mounted up on a mount point.

I created a valid etc/fstab under the root mount point for 2.2.2, but I am unable to use MAKEDEV to create the devices I need. The 2.2.2 /dev directory comes pre-built with sd0 sd1 sd2 sd3, but I need sd5. Attempts to make the device under the 2.2.2 mount point return the following error from the scsictl variable in MAKEDEV. ./MAKEDEV: arithmetic expression: syntax error: "1 << 29" Is this a compatability problem running 2.2.2 MAKEDEV under 2.1?

This is what I wish I could do, but there is simply no physical way to accomplish it. These notebooks are designed for ONE hard drive. I can plug an additional floppy in on the parallel port, and MS-DOG will recognize it if not FreeBSD, but not another hard drive without a SCSI PCMCIA card that I do not possess.

But, it's a tool that's freely availiable for you to use in the persuit of becoming an ISP. You will probably also need to consider many other things, such as your upstream provider. What kind of bandwidth you want to have (can be very expensive). What kind of modems/terminal servers you want (can also be very expensive). With FreeBSD installed on a decent x86 machine, you have a solid foundation upon which to build an ISP. I know, I've done it. But there's many other factors involved.

I'm not exactly a named(8) expert, but I suspect you'll need three configuration files, named something like named.boot, named.cache, and named.local. Typically there in /etc or a subdirectory of it.

Anyway, once you've got these guys set up, start named(8). As I recall, it reads /etc/named.boot for configuration info. I'll take care of the rest. Sometime when your machine is idle, run tcpdump(1) on your network interface and run nslookup(8) and resolve something twice. The first time, it should generate some network traffic. The second time it shouldn't. Here's what I got. > www.american.edu Server: macbeth.d2si.com Address: 206.8.31.2 Name: www.american.edu Address: 147.9.1.10 > www.american.edu Server: macbeth.d2si.com Address: 206.8.31.2 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.american.edu Address: 147.9.1.10 The only traffic I saw relateing to these two queries was: 17:04:42.191713 macbeth.d2si.com.domain > rukh.dorsai.org.domain: 32020 (34) 17:04:42.789936 rukh.dorsai.org.domain > macbeth.d2si.com.domain: 32020* 1/4/4 (232) both of which occured before the second query.

The ppp.secret file just allows you to password protect the ppp daemon while it's running.

To make PAP work, use "enable pap" and "disable chap" in your configuration. ("accept" is only for other systems dialing into yours.) If the initial conversation between the two systems never starts after the modems connect, add the "set openmode active" to tell ppp on your side that it needs to start the conversation. By default, ppp waits for the other end to start the "LCP" conversation. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Is there a software package for this? Sure -- the standard BIND that comes with your 2.2.1 system will do this just fine. The O'Reilly book "DNS and BIND" has an excellent section on setting up a ccache-only name server. Basically, you want to configure bind to *not* be primary or secondary for any domains. It understands how to find the root-level name servers, and will cache everything it finds. The good news is that the FreeBSD 2.2 distribution comes with named basically setup to be a cache-only server. You need to do the following as root: cd /etc/namedb sh make-localhost edit /etc/sysconfig (or /etc/rc.conf, if 2.2.2) change namedflags to those suggested by the comment as in "-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" That should do it. Remember your gateway to the internet must allow your new nameserver UDP and TCP access on port 42 or it will not work. > This machine has FreeBSD 2.2.1 installed on it; it's just a > Pentium 90 with 32 megs ram, but I think it could do better than > it's been doing....I found bulk_mailer and installed it but haven't > yet figured out how to set it up. You'll want to monitor the size of the cache vs. available memory. If you're only handling 200 addresses, this won't be a problem at all, but name servers have a tendency to grow their caches unbounded and eventually consume all RAM and swap. Rebooting once a month or so might be an acceptable alternative if it eats the system too badly. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Message-ID: X-X-Sender: jroberts@mail.ashland.edu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings (and Salutations, of course)! As someone a bit new to UNIX (and also, someone who is physically *newer* than UNIX), I am constantly confronted with appeals for freedom of access to source code, "openness" of computing, and some rather emotional tirades against the proprietary nature of some *other* systems (e.g, those of M$ and IBM). Some of these don't seem very well thought out, and raise a number of philophical problems for capitalism and platform-specific qualtiy measures, while others (those of some older/more-experienced practitioners, perhaps) seem to hint at something more subtle and sophisticated. Unfortunately, I have not yet stumbled upon an all-embracing Tao of UNIX (in general, or any flavor); rather, I just catch comments and hints of UNIXism in technical writing and newsgroup discussions. FreeBSD does not strike me as the sort of system imposed upon one (compare this with something like SCO, whose mailing lists team with responses including the fragment, "On our mission critical OpenServer system at work we had this workaround, but at home I solved it with *Linux* another way ..."). The responses I have seen on this list suggest that almost everyone here *is here* because he/she *wants* to be. So presumably, someone here could probably enlighten me, or at least direct me to some (detailed and complete) commentary on this topic. (Something beyond the technical benefits of being able to examine the source for security holes.) Where is this sort of thing discussed, especially by backers of *free* UNIces like ours? And what is FreeBSD's place in the scheme of things? Linux users argue that FreeBSD is not open enough, FreeBSD team members counter with the *OS vs. Kernel+Ports* argument. And what is the future for FreeBSD and something like POSIX, for instance? Looking forward to some thoughtful advice/suggestions from some pretty interesting people. Thanks, Jeff PS -- right now there's a good debate going on in the http://www.infoworld.com/ Porting Unix software to NT Are you planning on doing so? Nicholas Petreley wants to know why or why not. forum, which has branched into a sub-issue, UNIX security vs. Nice Try scurity, both of which could probably benefit from the input of the members of this list. ______________________________________________________________________ jroberts@ashland.edu >>>> Jeff Roberts <<<< strider@acm.org Public Key = http://www.ashland.edu/~jroberts/txt/pubkey.asc ______________________________________________________________________ From owner-freebsd-questions Wed May 28 21:51:51 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA24215 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 28 May 1997 21:51:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ridge.spiritone.com (ridge.spiritone.com [205.139.108.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA24210 for ; Wed, 28 May 1997 21:51:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from joes.users.spiritone.com (joes.users.spiritone.com [205.139.111.224]) by ridge.spiritone.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA14327 for ; Wed, 28 May 1997 21:47:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from joes@localhost) by joes.users.spiritone.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA01311 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Wed, 28 May 1997 21:36:00 -0700 (PDT) From: Joseph Stein Message-Id: <199705290436.VAA01311@joes.users.spiritone.com> Subject: Using fetchmail-3.9.5 (current port) yields log message incomplete...???

Here it goes (I may be mistaken, as I'm not the one who've written the code, but still...): The 1: at front hints to the boot code that the disk you're about to boot is known by the BIOS as the second disk (BIOS code 0x81). Otherwise, FreeBSD cannot guess what drive to ask the BIOS to boot from, and its best shot is to use the number you have on the device name, so when you give it sd0 it assumes it's your first disk (#0), but in your case, that's wd0. This is simply because the boot code has no sure way of knowing the mapping between FreeBSD device names and BIOS disk numbers. > > I have what I need (abscent a power failure while i'm gone) to boot > the 2.2.2 scsi disk and mount the 2.1.7 IDE disk. > > Thanks, > > Riley > > > at the boot prompt.

The suprise factor for an experienced Unix/vi user is trivial compared to someone coming from Windows because he or she heard that FreeBSD was really cool, and they dislike Windows. If you don't know enough to put setenv EDITOR /usr/bin/vi or export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi in your .cshrc or .profile, then your not experienced, and maybe should use ee. Sicking vi on a newbie is a cruel joke that isn't needed anymore. Paul. -- There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.

You'll also find osbsbeta.exe. These are self-extracting archives of the stuff you want. Obviously, you need to be in DOS or Windows to run these. There has been talk that Win95 will complain when you try to install these, so you might need a DOS boot disk. I use osbsbeta, and like it much better than booteasy.

I assume you're using -current. I've seen this in my test environment recently. I can't fathom what's going on here. The only thing that's changed recently here is that ppp now uses proper random numbers (I have several "entrophy" IRQs set up) to generate the magic number. It doesn't fail always - sometimes things are ok (~30% of the time). This is over a direct serial link from a -current box to a RELENG_2_2 box.

So, no one can know ahead of time what IP address I am (or even if I happen to be connected at any given time.) Also, on 5/21 (from my ppp.log) I was only connected 11:23 am to 12:11 pm -- about 50 minutes. My machine is not registered with anything but the generic name that my ISP uses for the dialup accounts: For instance, right now: $ netstat -r Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default XTS13.SYNET.NET UGc 12 0 tun0 base486 base486 UH 15 100683 lo0 XTS13.SYNET.NET DIAL3.SYNET.NET UH 13 0 tun0 224 base486 US 0 0 lo0 So, I'm ``DIAL3.SYNET.NET'' at the moment, but on 5/21 I was most likely some other ``DIALnn.SYNET.NET''. My question is: is this a fluke? How could someone attempt an anonymous ftp to my machine under these circumstances? Should I be concerned? Thanks.

As a system admin, my audience is users, many newbies, and therefore I might choose to make ee or pico their default editor. As a system developer putting out something like freebsd, the audience is administrators who have to set the thing up, and for umpteen gajillian ages, we've been using vi and our fingers do their own thing at this point. At least mine do, so it was a little annoying, when I thought my 1 hour install took all day because network settings didnt take, and the editor ditch cause I assumed vi was vi and my fingers did their own thing at their own pace.

My dump command is as follows: dump 0uafb host:/dev/nrst0 64 / I am dumping between 2 low-use BSD boxes, both running 2.2.1-RELEASE code. The machines are connected by a 100baseT full duplex ethernet switch. A dump of my 15Meg root filesystem takes 1 hour!!! (a far cry from the 30-45 seconds it takes for a local dump) Is there a solution to this problem other than some commercial backup package? Any help would be appreciated.

However, I have an identical machine that's still running 2.1.5 and it rdump's at ~450KB/s. I moved the 2.1.5 dump binary over to the 2.2.2 machine and it runs at ~450KB/s there, too. I tried doing diffs of the two versions of dump, but there were a lot of changes & I haven't had a chance to look at them. You can probably solve your problem in the short term by just installing the 2.1.5 dump.

The Good News: It works solidly and reliably with no changes required to the kernel. The Bad News: It ain't that fast. I can easily get about 400KB/s doing local dumps to a DAT drive, with the HyperQIC the best I can do is about half of that. It's also a bit disconcerting going back to QIC-like tape behavior with it's restarts and retensioning, etc..

Is it correct to say that no cleaning of /tmp is done by default? 2. Is there a "reasonably secure" method of activating such cleaning? For point 2., what is the original security problem?

Yeah. Your routed is trying to talk to other routers. The reason you didn't see that in 2.1.5 is (as far as I recall) 2.1.5 had, by default, a static route for the 224.0.0 network (multicasts).

Change the number of ptys in your kernel config and rebuild your kernel. 2. Make device nodes for more ptys (I don't remember how many there are by default, but surely no more than 64) with MAKEDEV. 3. Enable them in /etc/ttys (again, I think there are more than 16 in there by default, but surely not much more).

If you don't think you need routed, don't run it. It's a major source of trouble many times. By static routes I mean define a static multicast route (not through routed).

You've removed the PCI bus declaration from your kernel config file but have left in drivers for PCI devices (namely, de0, vx0 and fxp0). The system is complaining that you're trying to configure PCI devices without a PCI bus. Remove all PCI devices from the kernel config and you should be fine. There are many other things you can remove (EISA support to name one), if you want a smaller kernel still.

(hopefully I've not missed it) Perhaps the right time to include > something about upgrading the OS :-) #include The upgrade is pretty reliable, with the slight exception of /etc. What you should probably do is backup /etc (better yet, the whole machine), do the upgrade, and then merge the changes with the new files in /etc. If you'll install compat_21 (and every other distribution thing you've installed in 2.1.7) you'll have a workable system quite fast. Note that some people (including myself) had a problem with ld.so when installing 2.2.1 (the symptoms are that xdm does not find some of its shared libraries). The solution is to build it from source (it's in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/ld). That's the only problem I had when upgrading 2.1.7 to 2.2.1. One more thing: 2.2.2 should be much more reliable. If possible, upgrade to it (or to a STABLE snapshot). This release addresses many of the bugs 2.2.1 had such as the ahc driver problem. > > Also I've seen many reports of problems from those who have upgraded to > 2.2.1.

Well, why? It's your exercise. > > hmmm. in sh, ">" inside works as well ... ??? Really? If it is, I think, it's a bug in shell, because first, we make the redirection in the parent shell, after in the sub shell. But in the subshell, with ">", we reopen it with truncation, but with ">>", with append only. Well, I've tried it with 2.1.5's sh, with pdksh 5.2.12 and with bash 1.14.5, and worked as I wrote. I think, in your example, you hadn't got an error message. Try this one: $ echo lo > file $ ( cat nosuchfile lo 2>&1 > f ) > f ; cat f lo $ ( cat nosuchfile lo 2>&1 > f ) > f ; cat f cat: nosuchfile: No such file or directory lo $ Well, I think maybe it's some undocumented behaviour of not a bug/not a feature of the buffering of shell.???

I tried using pwd_mkdb by hand, which gives no error messages, but still does not do the encryption part. I tried using the adduser perl script, which does encrypt. But that uses the perl crypt() (which is compiled in statically/isn't a system fnct?). I've checked the /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb binary and the /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0, which both are unchanged (datewise) since the installation. /usr/lib/libcrypt* are linked to /usr/lib/libscrypt*, where the libcrypt* are from the installation, and the links somewhat newer. The system is a 2.2.1-RELEASE installed (fresh) from ftp. It's been working wonderfully since Mar 25. Custom kernel, but no obvious changes the last weeks to account for the problem. Any brilliant ideas? Thank you in advance...

I am now trying to rebuild the kernell using my new config file called "KIPPER". Following the instructions in 'the book', I have... cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC KIPPER vi KIPPER # Made several changes. File appended below. config KIPPER # All goes ok cd /usr/src/sys/compile/KIPPER make and this is where things go wrong. After quite a lot of compiling, I reach a compilatition step which fails, reporting cc -Wall -o aic7xxx_asm ../../dev/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_asm.c /usr/lib/crt0.o: Undefined symbol `__startup_setlocale' referenced from text segment *** Error code 1 Stop. I have no idea how, why, where or what exactly is going wrong. Can anyone help me? Although I have a fairly broad unix background, I donm't know any more about FreeBSD that I have read from 'the book' (Greg Lehey's "Installing and Running FreeBSD") and much of the online documentation. I hope that any relevant machine specs follow from the appended file. If not, please let me know. In case this is the mailing list (freebsd-questions@freebsd.org), I was subscribed for some time, but had to unsubscribe due to volume, so please email any replies to A.J.Caines@tracertech.com sincerely, -Andrew- _____________________________________________________________________ -Andrew J.

Now the real problem. There are 3 SCSI disks in the PC, FreeBSD is dreamed to be installed on the 3rd HDD on H: extended partition. The reason extended partitition is planed for FreeBSD install, is that if primary partition is created, then OS/2 and NT installations on other disks will have big mess with drive letters. I can remap disks under NT, but it's not possible with OS/2. And existing OS/2 boot manager may boot from both primary and extended partitions. When OS/2 fdisk is run, it shows the following picture for the 3rd SCSI disk: Partition Information Name Status Access FS Type MBytes ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ None : Primary FreeSpace 7 Merlin Bootable F: Logical HPFS 1019 None G: Logical HPFS 517 None H: Logical Unformatted 502 When FreeBSD fdisk is run through Novice installation, it shows for the same disk ( /dev/sd2) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Disk geometry: 261 cyls/255 heads/ 63 sectors = 4192965 sectors 0 16065 16064 - 6 unused 0 16065 4176900 4192964 sd2s1 4 extended 5 4192965 1339 4194303 - 6 unused 0 So for me it seems like FreeBSD fdisk sees all the extended partitions as one big partition. The approach when free space is left on the disk, and then the partition is created with FreeBSD fdisk does not work for me, as in this case primary partition is created. But FreeBSD boots fine in the case. What do I miss ? What may be done ? Is it possible to create extended partition with FreeBSD fdisk ? Another thing. There is SCSI Iomega ZIP disk. It's visiable under both OS/2 fdisk and NT's Disk Administrator, but FreeBSD installation does not show it. Is there a way to install FreeBSD on SCSI ZIP disk ? Please reply to the e-mail address. Thanks in advance.

If you reboot the machine into single-user mode (-s at the boot prompt), you'll have root access. The passwd file can then be edited.

Again, the IDE bus was disabled in cmos while installing. After the upgrade I reenabled the ide bus. Now the boot prompt F1/F2/F5 (dos/fbsd/2nddisk) works--I press F5, get the second disk, choose F2 (sd(0,a)--2.2.2-R), it goes through the paces, and then get a "Panic--cannot mount root on sd(0,a)" (may not be the exact message...) Anyway, if I specify 1:sd(0,a)/kernel, it boots. Strange.

But at that time sysinstall does not know anything about your harddisk and your configuration, and it would compromise security of the installed system, if everybody with boot.flp can become root. But there is another way out: Boot from harddisk in single user mode (enter -s at the boot: prompt). This will let you use the sh as root without having to know the root password. (unless you marked the `console' entry `insecure' in ttys(5)) Then mount all filesystems (mount -a) and enter passwd(8) . After changing your password, exit the shell (^D) and you will be put into multiuser mode.

When you installed 2.2.2 (is that what this is) the first time, did you do it from boot floppy or from the regular system? If so, how did you get /stand/sysinstall to do 2.2.2 instead of 2.1.6? To me it's looking like the install did work right. I'm not using 2.2.2 yet, waiting for the CD.

I would like to see one of those, because I'm a linux user now and want to know more about freebsd and maybe use it as a, maybe more stable, internet server. E.G.

During the configuration, I chose the Intel EtherExpress 16/16TP driver (ex0) and modified the driver parameters to use IRQ 5. All other driver parameters were left at the default values. This is an inherited PC, and I do not have the documentation that came with the card. The reason I changed to IRQ 5 is because the device manager running under Windows 95 reports the card as using IRQ 5, I/O addresses 0x300-0x30F with no conflicts. An Intel utility, called softset, reports the same parameters and tests the card as being functional. However, during boot, I get the message that ex0 was not found at 0x300, and if I try to use the configuration utility /stand/sysinstall to postconfigure a new network interface, ex0 does not appear in the list of interfaces. Is there anything else I can do to determine why the card is not being found?

I got the same error trying to compile a kernel on 2.2.1. My mistake turned out to have been installing the new source code over the old source code. When I zapped the /usr/src/sys directory (actually I zapped everything under /usr/src) and reinstalled it (I just copied it from the live file system cd), everything worked. Getting rid of /usr/src/sys destroys your kernel config file so it's a good idea to save it to a safe place first. I also created some links with lndir to the source code on the cd for directories other than /usr/src/sys, so it could find anything else it might happen to need. So at least in my case it was not a timezone problem....

I've been happily simply writing over old stuff in /usr/src/sys and didn't realize it was important to zap it before getting the new stuff--so the kernel has now compiled (and I can do pppd home-office).

System crashes - how can I find out why? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Sorry for being extremely un-specific but I just don't know what's happening and I understand practically nothing of debugging. Recently I had to re-install my FreeBSD-2.2-RELEASE and now weird things happen. System hangs, then crashes silently and sends my PC to reboot without any visible reason. It always happens when I'm trying to ftp anyplace and receive at least some signal (even ls output), it happens when I run "make test" for tcl-7.6 or even out of the blue when I'm merely using xedit. But (so far) only under X. How can I find out what's the reason for this and (preferably) make the system stable again? Any help, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As for differences, they are practically identical. They can execute BSD binaries, although they each have their own proprietary binaries. FreeBSD is considered to be the fastest of the BSD's. BSDi is known for its robustness, although advanced features take a while to appear. BSDi is also the only commercial distribution of BSD. NetBSD is known for being able to run on just about anything, namely Mac. Nathan Schuler UNIX Netwoking Solutions / Systems Administrator Sana Systems Inc.

The reason I disabled the ide drive in the first place (subject of a previous, similar help message to no avail! :( ) is that one of the first times I tried this I left the ide drive (with 2.1.7 on it) active. I used the boot floppy and disk labeled the second, scsi drive for 2.2.2. The result of that was that the system on the ide drive got trashed. It would still boot, but *lots* of errors.

Thanks, and hope for nothing but SCSI in all > of our futures... You're right about a pc wanting to boot from the first ide, although I recently saw a bios that had a scsi boot option. But I don't think that's the problem here--it's more the way fbsd looks at the disks. Maybe. I'd really like someone who understands this to explain. But it is a temporary situation I can work around. At this point it's mostly curiosity. Cheers, Riley > > Brad Bates > ---------- > > From: Riley J.

My ISP upgraded to a new software level on their Bay network servers (rev unknown). Since this upgrade I can no longer be assigned (or specify) my static IP address. A Customer Service drone can log in as me using windows and get my static IP address however. Customers using linux and windows seem to be working just fine.. (doesn't linux use the same pppd package?) I *can* take a dynamically assigned IP address and networking works fine otherwise. If I try to strictly specify my IP address, LCP just argues back and forth about it until the remote side hangs up on me. One of the techs at the ISP said the Bay router seemed to not like something in the initial PPP negotiation. Sorry I don't have more useful information (like actual errors from the Bay or even the rev they upgraded to). I don't have administrative access to my provider's equipment.

To debug connection problems, I use: set debug phase chat lcp This will show you phase changes and all of the LCP negotiations, which may help diagnose why your line is going down. BTW, if your modem is faster than 14,400 bps you should increase your speed to 57600 or 115200. 38400 is close enough to both 28800 and 33600 to limit the transfer speed. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

External utilities such as pstat and ps attempt to use the /sys header files to get certain constants and among these are ones that are affected by the above kernel options...except that use programs won't see the options and will use the default (wrong) values. Try removing the 'NKPDE' and 'VM_KMEM_SIZE' options above and instead apply the attached patches.

You're on the right track below, but missed the configuration slightly. What we need to do is enter a default route through the IP addresses you've just configured above, even though they're not "up" yet. Also, you don't need to delete ALL routes, you probably haven't got any routes except LAN interfaces installed yet. Immediately following the "set ifaddr" line insert: add 0 0 10.10.11.11 This will add a default router through the address at the "other" end of the link. Any packets directed off your local area network will be sent to the tunX device, forcing ppp to dial the link. HISADDR is not really effective in the ppp.conf file; you don't really have a HISADDR yet. > # set ifaddr 206.173.96.3/24 HISADDR > delete ALL > add 0 0 HISADDR > # add 206.173.96.3\24 0 HISADDR -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

"set debug lcp" should help with this; you'll be able to follow the LCP "conversation" between your machine and the Bay router. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Can someone please help! This sounds like CHAP, but you can't be certain without seeing the actual packets themselves. There are a couple of things you can try, however. Using user ppp, if you accept both chap and pap, and turn on LCP debugging, you'll probably be able to trace their server starting the authentication conversation with your ppp. I.e, if they are using PAP, you'll see something like: 01-29 23:26:36 [203] Phase: Authenticate 01-29 23:26:36 [203] his = c023, mine = c023 01-29 23:26:36 [203] PAP: username (password) in the log file. If you're using CHAP, the protocol type (c023) will be different, and I assume you'll get a few log lines starting with CHAP:, and telling you about the challenge and response packets. I believe your best bet would be to find another ISP that is not so unfriendly toward UNIX. This company obviously has their collective heads planted in Bill'$ lap and doesn't really want your money all that badly. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Heya, I was wondering if it was necessary to have three file systems (/, /usr, /var), which seems to be the default. It seems like it'd be much more convenient to have them all in one filesystem, and not have to worry about logfiles/mail/tmp killing the /var section, or any similar occurances. Since the three filesystems are the default, I assume there are some good reasons to keep it that way. What are some of these reasons? And if I wanted, is it possible to use 1, and if so, how? On another note, are there any known incompatibilities between the Triton III motherboard (Intel i430VX PCIset Chipset) and FreeBSD? I didn't seen an entry for the Triton III in the FreeBSD handbook.

Yes, but can normally be fixed, by removing from the kernel config file the lines for disks you don't have. These are simply timeouts looking for additional devices on the EIDE controllers. You can also make these timeouts shorter. Search the hackers list archive for a (pretty recent) discussion on how to tune EIDE timeouts.

The main reason for the separation is that each of these file systems have a different use, and a different pattern of accesses. Namely, the root partition "/" is required to boot the machine. If it is too much messed up you'll have to boot from a floppy to fix it, and even then it might not work. For this reason, it is usually set up to contain just the minimal bits that are required to boot up a system and to mount the other paritions, as well as some tools for fixing the other paritions if they're broken. This way, the root filesystem almost *never* gets written to, and so has a very slim chance of being inconsistent if the system suddenly crash. For this reason it is also important to put /tmp on something other than the root filesystem (either by using a seprate filesystem for it, or symlinking it to another file system). /var, on the other hand, is meant for things that are written to a lot, and seldomly read (like log files). /usr is intended for the general stuff. You can partition the disk in whatever way you see fit. Also remember that for most purposes you can use symlinks across filesystems to move specific directories to a different file system. > > On another note, are there any known incompatibilities between the Triton > III motherboard (Intel i430VX PCIset Chipset) and FreeBSD?

Just wanted to follow up on this problem. I yanked my kids HP deskjet 855 Cse printer and brought it up to the library and it fired right up, and prints with almost all of the twenty or so filters i've created trying to make the Star printer work ;). There fore i've concluded it must be a Star problem. Now i have the new deskjet printer and the kids have the Star LS-5 :). It still bugs me though not to be able to figure out what was the problem. I presume it must be a character set setting on the Star. cheers, and thanks to all of you who work on freebsd! dave From owner-freebsd-questions Sat May 31 10:08:12 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA29521 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 31 May 1997 10:08:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: from arl-img-4.compuserve.com (arl-img-4.compuserve.com [149.174.217.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id KAA29516 for ; Sat, 31 May 1997 10:08:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: by arl-img-4.compuserve.com (8.6.10/5.950515) id NAA13396; Sat, 31 May 1997 13:07:39 -0400 Date: Sat, 31 May 1997 13:07:16 -0400 From: Stuart Landreth Subject: help me!

I am interested in getting a copy of the FreeBSD operating system. I have looked around your website and ftp site but I am not too sure what exactly I need to download. I have already downloaded the boot image and created a floppy but I am unable to connect to the internet with the install program. I was considering ordering a CD-ROM but I can only afford it if the cost is less than £15. Otherwise, I'd like to know what files I need for: the basic OS, x-windows, and a few games, sound and art programs. If I cannot obtain a suitable CD-ROM, I'd like to download the files I need from an FTP site.

I would be very grateful if you or somebody else could post here his/her .procmailrc file tweaked for the freebsd mailing lists. It is always difficult to start. Now I use the elm filter that looks less scary. And another question. When you use procmail, does the .forward file really have to be so complicated as described in the manual?

I can't really tell if something isn't happy in this log.

I'm not sure why Linux ended up with so many problems in their a.out format, and won't speculate to avoid starting a flame war. ;^) ELF does not grant any larger address space than a.out, the address space is pretty much dictated by the adressing model of the MMU. As far as I know, both Linux and FreeBSD use the i386 32-bit flat memory model, which yeilds a virtual address space of 2^32 bytes. FreeBSD does support Linux ELF binaries if you load the Linux emulator. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

My suggestion if you want to install FTP and you are shooting for 2.2.x-RELEASE is do the floppy installation as described in INSTALL.TXT so as you have a backup and if things failyou can start again from scratch. All you need for that is the files from /bin which at 2.2.1 added up to 15 1.44MB "You Formatted" floppies (its covered in the docs) From there you can set up `ppp' and download the rest of your install from /stand/sysinstall easily.

In the above example the code will read somewhat like if [ -f file1 file2 file3 ]; then ... which does work when only ONE file is matched and MIGHT work this way without being noticed of that error. But referring to the 'test' synopsis this is of course a mistake. One solution for the above problem would be for file in /usr/tmp/src-2.2*; do if [ -f $file ]; then mv $file $destdir; fi done which will even cope with non matchinng files (i.e. empty lists). This might look somewhat more of a circumstance compared to Doze, but it would be even worse when wildcards wouldn't work :) From owner-freebsd-questions Sat May 31 14:20:14 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA13945 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 31 May 1997 14:20:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from iron.Te.NeT.UA (root@iron.Te.NeT.UA [195.138.80.34]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA13863 for ; Sat, 31 May 1997 14:19:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gloom.te.net.ua (d132.TeNeT.Odessa.UA [195.138.80.132]) by iron.Te.NeT.UA (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id AAA02762; Sun, 1 Jun 1997 00:19:15 +0300 Received: (from pss@localhost) by gloom.te.net.ua (8.8.5/8.8.5) id AAA00721; Sun, 1 Jun 1997 00:16:45 +0300 (EEST) Date: Sun, 1 Jun 1997 00:16:45 +0300 (EEST) From: Sergey Pukach Message-Id: <199705312116.AAA00721@gloom.te.net.ua> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Taylor UUCP over TCP problem Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I just bought FreeBsd 2.2.1 from Walnut Creek Cdrom. I installed it and even recomplied the kernel with no problems. However if I try to compile a simple hello.c program with gcc, the result is a.out. If I type a.out it says command not found. If I say file a.out it says it is a: BSD/i386 compact demand paged dynamically linked executable not stripped. If I do file gcc it says the same but without the not stripped part, so I recompiled gcc -s hello.c, got a.out and still doesnt work. If I go startx and tkdesk, from tkdesk I click on the (red) a.out and it works, giving "hello, world". But if I try a bigger program then it wont work. How come BSD doesnot recognize a.out as an executable? I tried compiling with -Q but no difference If I compile with gcc -Z it say I have no /etc/magic file. Booo.. I cannot compile any programs directly. Apparently the Makefiles work since it install fine, but I dont know how to use a makefile. I looked in the Makefiles and tried to copy the compiling options but still doesnt work. I look at the man page for a.out but did not give practical help. HELP! how do I run a program after I do gcc and get a.out? typing a.out does not work! Any response will be greatly appreciated ...

We have intentionally decided not to make it standard yet. The scales haven't tipped in the ELF direction yet, but may someday. There are a few problems with a.out, but those aren't normally apparent... ELF just isn't the solution to every binary format problem. ELF vs. a.out isn't generally a reason to choose an OS.

Sounds like your network configuration isn't set up properly.

The other trick is to be careful about naming your program "test". The shell often uses that as a builtin command name :-). That one still gets me once in a while :-).

Why doesn't it > connect at my modem speed? Well, you need to make sure your provider has 33.6 modems, and that you are dialing into them. Also, you need pretty clean phone lines to make 33.6... When I worked at Global Village, one of the QA guys said they could only get 31.2 from one modem to another within the lab through a phone line sim box.... This really is a question for your provider, then modem manufacturer, in that order, though.

Also, noisy phone lines will cause you to connected at a lower speed than your modem is truly capable of. ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * IRC: Data * Email: data@dal.net * * WWW: http://voyager.abac.com/data * IRC Admin, voyager.dal.net * * --== Try DALnet!
