I'm not sure what exactly you want, but both BSD/OS and FreeBSD support anonymous FTP, and they both come with the wuftp daemon. > freeBSD should be compatible with BSDI so it doesn't matter if it is for > freeBSD. You don't make it clear whether you want to run it on FreeBSD or BSD/OS. The operating systems are *not* compatible, well, at least not completely. In particular, you'll run into problems with different shared libraries. In any case, there's no need, since both systems provide the facility. Loook on page 126 of the BSD/OS 2.1 handbook if you're using BSD/OS; if you're using FreeBSD, currently you're limited to the man pages. To set up anonymous ftp, you need to add a user 'ftp' and create a home directory for it. In these examples, I'll assume that it's /var/spool/ftp (a good name to choose), and I'll refer to it as ~ftp, which many shells understand. Your need copies of programs the users want to run in ~ftp/bin, and it should have a directory ~ftp/pub, writable only by user ftp, and incoming, writable by anybody, assuming you want to allow people to upload files. It may also include a directory ~ftp/hidden, which is not readable by anybody. This makes it possible to put files there which people can access only if they know the names. In addition, BSD/OS will give you directories ~ftp/shlib with a copy of the shared C library, and etc with a modified password file. These directories do not appear to be necessary under FreeBSD.

One easy way to upgrade is to download the ctm deltas, apply them to the source tree or let them generate a new source tree, shutdown to single user mode (kill -TERM 1), then "make world".

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 following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. If you have this book, please check this list. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). 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.

Quick checklist (which I just wrote last message...): 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE HOSED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (but you can skip XFree86 if you installed it from 2.1.0 -- there are no changes) and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. It's changed a bunch this time around and it's too much pain to hack in the new changes. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local. Note that httpd is no longer started from sysconfig. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

It's driving me nuts! I haven't seen anything like this myself. It appears that your video fonts are becoming corrupted though. You might check your video RAM if you can (My Mach64 has the capabiility I believe)or try another video card. There is a way to reload the fonts through vidcontrol(1), but I haven't used that option.

If it was a 'hello world' program then probably, but anything more complex than that I would say no. Why not just compile your C program on NetBSD?

It should work right away with 2.1.6. 2.1.0 didn't enable ATAPI support by default, you had to rebuild the kernel. Are you rebuilding and reinstalling a new 2.1.6 kernel after upgrading?

There are a couple of items you CAN tune which you may need to do on a busy server. 1. maxusers -- a general parameter for various kernel memory buffers. You might increase it a bit past 10. 2. NMBCLUSTERS (?) -- network buffer clusters. Can help solve unusual network problems. 3. Others -- MAXCHILD(?) and so forth can help on busy web servers. Hopefully someone can jump in here and help me out on these numbers, I haven't had to tune them on any of my machines but they don't see lots of traffic.

If you trust things you build yourself, then yes, you can trust a firewall. Look into using ipfw (it's in the handbook) and the TIS fwtk (it's in the ports). Note that a firewall is much more than the utilities used to implement it. You need to set up security policies and configure your firewall accordingly.

It does not matter what you install from. For 2.1.0 and 2.1.5 (don't know about 2.1.6) the GENERIC kernel that gets installed once the installation is complete is not configured to support ATAPI CDs. You have to rebuild a kernel with ATAPI CD support (that is: options ATAPI device wcd0 in it) before you can have your CD recognized.

It's driving me nuts! I've seen this (what I describe) on some versions of SCO. They weren't dots over the characters, they were sort of random spots and lines in particular characters. I'm pretty sure that it was a timing problem combined with an old display board (the board in question was an Orchid ProDesigner II, built about 1989, and running an ET3000 chip set). I just avoided running SCO with that board--other boards work fine. This is the first time I've heard about this happening under FreeBSD, and it's possible that I'm misinterpreting the symptoms.

(Perhaps the Core Team can get involved to make Kodak see the light :) They have produced a Linux version -- both a.out and ELF -- and thus I have to use it. But the problem is that the ELF version returns a "Wrong architecture" message, while the a.out version aborts with a "Bus error" or "Segmentation fault" with a core dump. This happens with the "pcd2jpeg" program, which is distributed in binary; the "pcd" program that is distributed in source code compiles and appears to run well. I have installed the Linux emulator and library according to the instructions and it loads ok, although I have no other software to test it with. I would appreciate any suggestions regarding this. Thank you very much.

Maybe your system already has two IDE interfaces, so try removing the CD-ROM interface card and install the CD drive as master in the second interface. I don't think FreeBSD supports a 3rd.

Actually, it is limited by NMBCLUSTERS = (512 + MAXUSERS * 16) in conf/param.c 2.2-ALPHA works better, which NMBCLUSTERS can be (512 + 18 * 16) On same motherboard, the limit can be changed when the CPU clock changes. For example, on Intel PT-2000 motherboard, if CPU clock is 100 MHz, the limit of the maxusers for NMBCLUSTERS could vary from 0, 3 - 15 (some Motherboard does not work at all). Changing CPU clock up to 120 MHz, the limit will stay at 15. (2.2-SNAPs) I thought that might be caused by page boundary, but it doesn't look like according to the behaves above. I will keep to track down the problem further. In the meantime, if any one has some idea what could cause this kind of problems, please let me know.

The problem is the following: When I reboot from BSD to win95 everything is fine. However, on exiting win95 the computer hangs when I press F2 (BSD). CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work. I don't have a reset button so the only thing left to do is toggling the power switch. After this the computer restarts and boots BSD as if nothing has happened. As I sometimes change from BSD to win95 and visa verse 2 or three times per evening this power cycling is a royal pain... So, is there a solution? Another bootmanager perhaps, some trick?? The computer is a Compaq "thank you for not having a reset-button" ProLinea 4/66. BSD is version 2.1.5-STABLE, bteasy is version 1.7, and win95 is win95. -- Geert-Jan van den Eijnden From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 18 15:03:23 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id PAA19249 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 18 Nov 1996 15:03:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from unix1.ism.com.br (root@unix1.ism.com.br [200.255.211.35]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id PAA19239 for ; Mon, 18 Nov 1996 15:03:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from clpc1.compuland.com.br (clpc1.compuland.com.br [200.255.96.22]) by unix1.ism.com.br (8.7.1/8.7.1) with SMTP id VAA09697 for ; Mon, 18 Nov 1996 21:02:32 -0200 Date: Mon, 18 Nov 1996 21:02:32 -0200 Message-Id: <199611182302.VAA09697@unix1.ism.com.br> X-Sender: compland@ism.com.br X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@freebsd.org From: compland@ism.com.br (Helio Coelho Jr. - CompuLand Informatica) Subject: Signals Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi: I'm getting signal 11 and signal 15 in a irc gateway I'm trying to run in a FreeBSD box.

I mailed something a little while back, concerning a drive not booting from a TekRam DC390F controller, but appearantly working correctly with a Future Domain TMC-850. The drive will still not boot with the TekRam controller, but it works perfectly fine with the Future Domain controller. I was able to low-level format the drive with the TekRam controller with the dos driver, repartition it with the FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA installation floppy, and proceeded to install FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA. If I install the kernel on a bootable floppy, and boot with the "-r" option (is there any way to make that default?), everything seems to work ok. Having only a partially working setup bothers me quite a bit, but since the drive is about four times faster with the TekRam controller, I've been putting up with the slower boot from floppy. I did some checking, and even though the manual doesn't explicitly say you need the boot drive to be SCSI ID 0, some other general SCSI documentation I have says that some SCSI controllers (usually the ASPI type, which the TekRam is) require the boot drive to be jumperd for drive ID 0. I also noted that all the examples in the manual have one drive with a SCSI ID of 0. I noticed the drive was ID 1, so I rejumpered it to ID 0. While I had the drive out, I thought on a whim to check on the SCSI terminators, and to my utter surprise, there were NO TERMINATORS!!! I did a little running around town, and picked up a set of terminators, and installed them. After the terminators were installed, neither controller would recognize the drive, and the ncr0 probe would mumble something about a fatal error (some command failed... don't have the error handy...), and it put up a resetting controller on the screen and did not continue. I pulled the terminators... they were somewhat warm, bordering on hot... a sign something isn't quite right :-). Everything worked again after I powered up, except no boot from the TekRam controller as agravatingly usual. This is a rather strange situation, as you will probably agree, so I called up seagate tech support (I have an st1480n drive) and explained my situation to the person at the other end, and I heard a pause. After explaining that I only have the drive and the controller on that bus, he went to check on which terminators that particular model requires. When he came back on the line, he said it took a non-standard terminator value (330 ohm, instead of the normal 110 ohm terminators). He then said that even though the setup should not be working, I probably wouldn't be hurting anything to run it that way. (my thoughts are that if it isn't supposed to be working, it hasn't been tested that way, and how can you be sure that nothing will be damaged... then I remember that I've run it about 9 months, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no resisters, and I feel a _wee_ bit better.) That explains why the terminators I came up with didn't work, and I found that nobody in town has the correct ones. It does not explain why the setup does indeed work. Anyone know where I can get 330 ohm terminating resisters? It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling to run drive without resisters. -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) | ALL unsolicited commercial email Support bacteria -- it's the | is unwelcome.

The 8250 has a single baudrate generator, and doesn't support an external clock in the configuration normally used in PCs. You either need a card with a UART that handles split speeds (eg.

The machine I am installing on to has an NE2000 clone ethernet card which is identical to the one I have already running. I am using userconfig (boot -c) to set the correct IRQ, port etc. for the ethernet card and it is detected at startup OK. Once the network interface is configured on the new machine I can ping it from my FTP server machine. The problem is that the new machine can't find the distributions on the FTP server. I have tried the following options: - set the FTP user home directory in the passwd file to /cdrom (using vipw) and set the URL to connect to as ftp://172.16.1.1 (my private IP number) - set the FTP user home directory in the passwd file to /usr/ftp and use lndir to link /usr/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE to /cdrom/dists then set the URL to ftp://172.16.1.1/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE both of these options failed. If I use a command line FTP client to connect in either of these cases I am able to transfer the files but the installer can't find them. Any suggestions ?

The install script I'm using is on the floppy, and is "boot.flp" (downloaded and works fine). "Fips" utility also did its job as well. The problem comes when the install process warns that it cannot find any of the FreeBSD files downloaded (from ftp6 site referenced in your web pages) and stored in a DOS directory "c:\freebsd". The various documents on installation both downloaded and with the install software indicate that copying from a CDROM or other media to such a directory is sufficient. What has been downloaded is the contents of the 2.1.5 release bin, docs, and manpages directories of the ftp site. Some of the file names cannot be the same as under your directories. What is this installation program looking for and what should the file look like and be? I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have. I had some experience with UNIX about 10 years ago, but remember little.

I would appreciate some help, as the folks at Walnut Creek have told me they have no idea what is wrong here. I went thru the novice install, choosing defaults and automatic for all options. When the system tries to boot, it fails and the last two lines displayed are: changing root device to wd1a panic: cannot mount root First, let give some configuration background. My system is setup as follows: - Zeos Pentium 75MHz with 48MB RAM - Seagate 815MB hard drive set as a master on IDE controller 1. - Mitsumi FX-004 IDE CDROM drive set as a slave on IDE controller 1. - Western Digital 1549MD hard drive set as single on IDE controller 2. - Diamond Stealth 64 video card. - Microsoft serial mouse. The 815MB drive is dedicated to DOS and the 1549MB drive is dedicate to FreeBSD. I have verified that the drive geometry is correct for the 1549MB drive. The partition editor gives the following numbers: 3148/16/63 0 63 63 - 6 unused 0 63 3173121 3173183 wd2s1 3 freebsd 165 C> The label editor gives the following: wd2s1a / 32MB UFS Y wd2s1b 106MB SWAP wd2s1e /var 30MB UFS Y wd2s1f /usr 1380MB UFS y As the system boots and probes, I gathered some information (alot of it scrolls by too fast to catch). The 'pertinent' designations are as follows: wd0 - 815MB drive wdc1 - unknown (says something about ATAPI) wcd0 - CD drive wd2 - 1549MB drive I got FreeBSD to learn UNIX, so some of this whole process is not clear to me yet. It seems obvious that it should be booting to wd2a, but it attempts to boot from wd1a, whatever that is. In browsing thru the messages, I saw references to using boot commands like wd(1,a). That of course doesn't work. When I try wd(2,a), it throws up an error I can't read and streams line-after-line of something like 'cylinder 0 head 0 track 0'. I can't seem to find anything online or in the documentation that is similar to this. As a side note, I tried a little experiment that may provide some insight. I disconnected the CD and put the 1549MB drive as a slave on IDE controller 1. This still generated some errors, but at least it didn't panic and reboot. Please help...

What you could try is to move your FBSD disk to primary slave (temporarily), and rebuild the kernel to put wd1 on the second IDE controller. Install the kernel and move the disk and cd back where they were. Paul. -- Paul T.

In any case (whether it works or not), what you need for this to boot up automaticaly is rebuild the kernel, changing the config line as follows: config kernel root on wd2 If the above at the Boot: prompt (or some variations of it) won't get you anywhere, simply swap the disks for just one boot, rebuild the kernel, and connect the disks again at the normal position.

I got this little advisory (thankfully without an exploit) today, and it's got me all worried. It's a problem in the whole gethostbyname call that allows (supposedly) local and remote users to gain root access using a variety of programs that rely on the gethostbyname call. So I downloaded BIND-4.9.3-REL which fixes all of this; and then I read the README in the BSD directory, got thoroughly confused, and posted my root password to #hack on irc. (kidding). Now this does not appear to be a simple feat (hence my posting to -questions and -security; security people can look at it and laugh, and questions can tell me all about "diff-ing my source tree" and "manually updating includes (which you may or may not have to do)."

Secure Networks Inc. Security Advisory November 18, 1996 Vulnerability in Unchecked DNS Data. In research for our upcoming network auditing tool, we have uncovered a serious problem present in implementations of BIND which trust invalid data sent to them. This vulnerability specifically applies to hostname to address resolution and can result in local and remote users obtaining root privileges. It is recommended that security conscious users upgrade to the latest version of the BIND resolver immediately. Information on obtaining the latest official release is provided at the end of this message. Technical Details ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When a standard hostname lookup is performed on internet connected systems, the resulting address should be 4 bytes (Forgetting about IPv6 for now). Assuming that the address will always be 4 bytes, many privileged and unprivileged programs (including network daemons) trust the address length field which is returned from gethostbyname() in the hostent structure. By trusting the length field returned by DNS to be 4 bytes, it then copies the address into a 4 byte address variable. The vulnerability exists due to the fact that we can specify the size of IP address data within the DNS packet ourselves. By specifying a size larger than 4 bytes, an overflow occurs, as the program attempts to copy the data into the 4 byte structure it has allocated to store the address. One example of this vulnerability occurs in rcmd.c, the standard BSD library routine which is used by rsh and rlogin to remotely connect to systems. Note that the code itself is not faulty, however the resolver implementation is. Example code follows: hp = gethostbyname(*ahost); if (hp == NULL) { herror(*ahost); return (-1); } *ahost = hp->h_name; . . . bzero(&sin, sizeof sin); sin.sin_len = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in); sin.sin_family = hp->h_addrtype; sin.sin_port = rport; bcopy(hp->h_addr_list[0], &sin.sin_addr, hp->h_length); In this example, we copy hp->h_length ammount of data into the address variable of a sockaddr_in structure, which is 4 bytes. The hp->h_length variable is taken directly from the DNS reply packet. If we now look at how rcmd() declares it's variables, and after looking through rlogin with a debugger, we can determine that this is a dangerous situation. int rcmd(ahost, rport, locuser, remuser, cmd, fd2p) char **ahost; u_short rport; const char *locuser, *remuser, *cmd; int *fd2p; { struct hostent *hp; struct sockaddr_in sin, from; fd_set reads; On further testing, and implementation of exploitation code, we can verify that this is indeed possible via the rlogin service. In order to exploit the problem, we first start a program to send a fake DNS replies. [root@ariel] [Dec 31 1969 11:59:59pm] [~]% ./dnsfake oakmont.secnet.com(4732)->idoru.secnet.com(53) : lookup: random-domain.com (1:1) sent packet fake reply: 270 bytes idoru.secnet.com(53)->oakmont.secnet.com(4732) : reply: random-domain.com (1:1) We then cause rcmd() within rlogin to do a host lookup and response with our false data.

The possibility of exploiting local programs may seem insignificant, however if one considers an attacker somewhere on the internet intercepting DNS lookups, and inserting their own replies, it isn't. There is a real threat of passive attacks present here, whereby any user on a network running any of these programs can be a victim. Take for instance traceroute, or ping both of which fall prey to this problem. Aside from stock UN*X programs which ship with most vendor operating systems, there appears to be problems related to h_length in external software packages. Due to the flaw, FWTK (Firewall Toolkit) a freely available firewall kit appears vulnerable. The generic routine, conn_server(), which is utilizied by the proxy servers, appears to trust the data as well. Vulnerable Systems ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At this point we would assume that most vendor systems who have incorporated BIND directly into their operating system are vulnerable. Solaris is not vulnerable according to Casper Dik Fix Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The maintainers of BIND, and CERT were notified of this problem several months previous to this posting. We recommend upgrading to the latest release of BIND which solves this problem due to the incorporation of IPv6 address support. The latest official release of BIND is availible at: ftp.vix.com in the directory /pub/bind/release/4.9.5 We wish to acknowledge and thank Theo Deraadt, the maintainer of the OpenBSD operating system for his help in finding and analyzing this problem.

AFAIK, the only problem is that FreeBSD does not come with PCCARD support built into the GENERIC kernel. So, once installed on the laptop, you'd have to rebuild the kernel to get PCCARDs to work.

Hi all, today I tried to do a diskless boot with an ASUS SP3G (DX4) using the WC-CD 2.1 GENERIC-kernel (rather old, but OK ;-)). It hangs after probing most of the devices. After a reset the ASUS does´nt even perforn the mem-check, nor does it branch to the setup-menu, by hitting DEL. So, two.5 questions arise: 1) Why?????? 2) Is the flash-firmware of the ASUS corrupted (and how do I fix it)? Any ideas?

I'm wondering how FBSD would work in this scenario. I've never tried to do this with FBSD and don't have too much time for experimentation in this case. Has anyone done this??? Here's the scenario..... 2 Sister companies formerly connected via frame relay, now sharing adjacent office space. Company A has 1 NT server, and one SCO (yecch!!) box. Company B has 1 NT server. Both companies access the SCO host. Company A has 2 class B addresses -> 132.140.x.x and 132.148.x.x and company B has addresses ->132.141.x.x and will have 132.147.x.x. after the move is complete. (this is a totally closed network) Routing used to be handled with the WAN hardware (Motorola Vanguard 300 etc) but I'm wondering if a FBSD box would be up to the job in this case. I need to route 132.140... to 132.141..., 132.141...to 132.140... 132.147... to 132.148... and 132.148... to 132.147... The network backbones are 10B2 coax with hubs on the ends (nothing fancy). Is FreeBSD up to the task? Can one machine handle it ( 4 interfaces ) or would 2 be necessary? How much horsepower would it take ( 386, 486, P-x ) or would one be better of with specialized switching hardware? Opinions?? Thanks --- Randall D.

Or, the corollary for me, would be to install FreeBSD to that partition freeing space on another device for NT?? If the latter, can I trust cpio (on my FreeBSD 2.1.5) to replicate my current BSD slice in that extended DOS partition? I can make space that way as well. The reason I may need to mov e FreeBSD is that my BIOS is old (the >1023 problem), and NT Wkstn refuses to perm it any space beyond that barrier to be used by ANYTHING! In fact, it won't install if it sees anything out there (I know, I've tried). Interesting that it sees it , but won't permit it to exist out there because the BIOS doesn't allow it to exis t. Neither Linux or FreeBSD are that paranoid, as long as the root doesn't begin beyond that limit. In this case, uSoft costs me over 300MB's of disk space..... Damn!

This vulnerability may allow local users to gain root privileges. Exploit details involving this vulnerability have been widely distributed. AUSCERT recommends that sites takes the steps outlined in Section 3 as soon as possible. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Description A vulnerability exists in all versions of sendmail from 8.7.x to 8.8.2 that allows local users to gain root privileges. A user can invoke sendmail in "daemon" mode by naming it to be "smtpd". Due to a coding error, this bypasses the usual check that only root can start the daemon. As of 8.7, sendmail will restart itself when it gets a SIGHUP signal. By manipulating the environment in which sendmail is run it is possible to force sendmail into executing an arbitrary program with root privileges. AUSCERT has been informed that sendmail versions prior to 8.8.x are no longer supported. Sites using older versions of sendmail will need to upgrade to the current version of sendmail. .... I guess this means that FreeBSD version prior to 2.1.6 are vulnerable. My question is what version of sendmail is shipped with 2.1.6 (and 2.2).

Here's > the scenario..... The scenario you describe should be quite amenable to FreeBSD as a router. We run several FreeBSD systems here doing local routing. I like the SMC PCI combo boards that have two ether ports on one card. FreeBSD just stays up 24x7, no annoying crashes like NT. A big win with FreeBSD is you can use tcpdump to sniff problems on the LAN, fire up a real live DNS server whenever you want, use that idle CD-ROM drive in the FreeBSD box as a Samba share and put e.g., the MS TechNet CD in to try to chase down those NT crash bugs, turn on ipfw and log funny packets, etc. The list goes on and on. Like 20 x the functionality of a proprietary router. At Siemens, we used a lowly 486SX-50 or so with FreeBSD to route between segments. It was more than up to the task, with about 30 hosts locally going through the FreeBSD router to the WAN. Do it!

It has been tested with 175 and 220MHz cards with 2 and 4MB WRAM. NOTE: This driver is pretty new, and not everything works like you expect it to. It shouldn't crash your machine, but you may have video artifacts or missing lines. Please report any and all problems to XFree86@Xfree86.org using the appropriate bug report sheet. There will be updated drivers in the coming XFree86 beta releases. ... The basic answer is use XFree86-3.2 or I believe the AcceleratedX server from Xinside supports Matrox cards as well.

No, there is no damage to the system. What you are describing is a 'warm boot', where you hit CONTROL-ALT-DELETE, as opposed to a 'cold boot' where you use the panel reset button or physically switch off the machine, then back on. Many BIOSes skip the memory test during warm boots as it assumes it has tested the memory already and doesn't require another test. It is mainly to speed the reboot process by skipping some of the power-on tests.

Compaq's already have a strike against them for the PCI bus incompatibility, so I'm not surprised by your problems.

If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it. It's unusual that it's not detected. What comes up during the wd/ide controller probes? (Use scroll-lock and the arrow keys to scroll back from the main menu) It sounds like something is wrong with your other WD or is configured incorrectly.

If you can't get at booteasy, then grab bootinst.exe and boot.bin from the /tools directory from ftp.freebsd.org or from the CDROM and run it on your first disk. YOu'll need to boot from DOS 6.x if you're using Win95 to so you can write to the bootblocks. That should fix that problem. If booteasy loops forever still, then the geometry on your FreeBSD disk is wrong. Try reinstalling, but this time put a small DOS partition on the disk, then delete it and put FreeBSD over it in the install fdisk editor.

Well, I can answer this for FreeBSD, as this is FreeBSD support, not BSDi support. Your best bet would be to install samba on the FreeBSD machine and use Windows Networking on the Windows boxes to print to it. The lpr mechanism is not well developed on Windows platforms. > Also, does BSDI ver. 2.1 support Intel's EtherExpress 100B PCI LAN card? FreeBSD will in 2.2; I'm not sure about 2.1.6.

Hmm, my PCI card was not detected. Could you show me what you put in the kernel config file to use your PCI Ne2000? Maybe it is because I have a noname clone. For Linux I needed either to boot with an ether=0,0xff40,eth0 parameter or apply some special patch that someone made to have more PCI NE2000 clones to be properly detected. Is there a way I can force detection under FreeBSD?

I wanted to configure PPP on my FreeBSD 2.1.5 and did the following: - I took out the handbook (400 pages!) - I configured my Philips 28k8 internal modem as it should be (chapter 11) - I went to chapter 12, configuring user PPP, using tun. - I added the file /etc/resolv.conf, which looks much like: nameserver 194.178.56.21 which is my ISP DNS server. - Then I went to host.conf, which had the lines: bind hosts so it looks for the bindings first, then in hosts... - I didn't change my hosts file, only the 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain was in there, the rest was only commented. I thought, well, if it gets it from the bindings, who cares?? So I didnt put anything in it. - Then I moved the original ppp directory to ppp.orig (like it says in the handbook) and followed the steps in the handbook. Now you have to know that my ISP gives me a dynamically assigned IP addie, so I changed the line in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: set ifaddr 0 0 What should I put in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup??? I kept it like the example file which was the original ppp.linkup Maybe I should change something to that?? It looks like this: iij-demand: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR thats it! - Now I go to the really scarey stuff: /etc/sysconfig Since my ISP is Worldaccess, with domain name worldaccess.nl, I put hostname=worldaccess.nl in my sysconfig. (I have a strange feeling this is completely wrong: domainname == hostname??) Then I put: network_interfaces="lo0 tun0" in.... which should be okay, I have /dev/tun0 and I configured my kernel for tun. then I went: ifconfig_tun0="inet worldaccess.nl 194.178.56.21 netmask 0xffffff00" the netmask is OK: 255.255.255.0 but about the DNS IP addie I am not sure.... in the book it says: y.y.y.y is the IP addie of your ISP's gateway Is that the same as the DNS server?? the I put the routedflags=-s .... (shouldn't that be routedflags="-s" ?) and last I did was sendmail_flags="-bd" So I rebooted (well, my computer, not myself :-)) and I saw the following: ... lo0: flags = 8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ifconfig: worldaccess.nl: bad value tun0: flags = 8010 mtu 1500 What is the ifconfig: bad value thing?? ( I think it is because domainname != hostname ??) I dont see my 194.178.56.21 here... The following data was provided to me from my ISP: IP-addressing: dynamic DNS server: 194.178.56.21 SMTP server: smtp.worldaccess.nl POP server: pop3.worldaccess.nl Name server: 194.178.56.21 (hey isnt this the same as DNS server?) Newsserver: news.worldaccess.nl Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Domain: worldaccess.nl now the inlogprocedure is something like: login: mfrissen password: ... 1 Start SLIP 2 ASCII access 4 Start PPP 9 Exit ... normally I choose 4 (well, my (yuck) windows95 script does) ... I cant use SLIP, that is only for business access (with your own IP addie) I think you know enough now (I hope)... Please, help me with this.... I've been working on this for 3 weeks now, and I don't have any Internet access at home until I configure FreeBSD right. (I am dialling out at work, with win95 to worldaccess) Oh, just one other tiny thing: If I start some X applications (like erm, xeyes or whatever), ld.so complains about: libXsomething.a.so.6.0 (or something) minor version 0 is older that the 1 expected... the application runs, but it's pretty annoying... What do I have to do to get rid of that? (ldconfig /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib etc... didnt help) Sorry for the long (maybe boring) and technical message, but I really wanted to provide all the necessary info....

I did this and it worked. It left me with one problem -- the file that visudo edits is completely different from /usr/local/etc/sudoers. And modifications to the former do not affect the latter.

My real intention was to see if there was *REALLY* something diffrent to look about. My conclusion is that in some fields FBSD is better (networking, stability) and in some other Linux has the lead( available drivers, memory managment). My question is why have two OS rather than one REALLY good one? Why dont programmers,hackers,develepors of both teams unite to write the ultimite OS? Why the two teams mock at each other? Dont they see the danger in front of them? Windows NT has only one goal: to kill UNIX and every flavour of it!

A: No. Q: Which version of FreeBSD does this work on? A: I run the current version of FreeBSD, so that's the only version which I've verified. Q: It doesn't work on my machine. What do I do? A: You are out of luck. This is a completely unsupported distribution.

What is the significance of the 'delete ALL' line referred to? I've got a dozen or so STATIC routes pointing between a pair of local ethernets (They're static because they're in different networks and don't EVEN ask about the routing protocols on the local side ;-). I have NO default route when ppp is down. Gateway-ing is on in the kernel so I can route between locally-connected nets. As a result, I've not used the 'delete ALL' directive in ppp.linkup, but I do use the add 0 0 HISADDR. This works quite well as long as I start ppp from the command line. But dial-on-demand doesn't work as seamlessly as it should. If I add the 'delete ALL' line, would this nuke the local static routes I've so carefully crafted? I suspect it would. In short, what I'm asking is: How can one get iij-ppp to - dial on demand - link up serially between "unknown-in-advance" IP's - Add an appropriate gateway to the ISP - Preserve existing routing table information on the local side (It's the last bullet that has me stumped.) ...sjs...

Dennis; I agree with your sentiment, but here's something to think about. The problem is that these two things are diametricly opposed. It's very tough to have stability as well as a huge number of drivers. One has to sacrifice one over the other, or be willing to wait for one to catch up with the other. Like communism - it's a great idea on paper.... J.

Different distributions try to gather up all the different parts of Linux which have been developed at independent rates. This each distribution has a different mishmash of utilities. This kind of development philosophy is go for the individuals to pursue there own developpment goals. FreeBSD has a more organized development philosophy, and this does not mean that development in new technologies is stagnant. But it does ensure that there is only one release of a version of software and that the components work togeather. Furhtermore the utilites are packaged in an organized manner.

I wouldn't say that a failure to distribute their knowledge is something that characterizes either the Linux or FreeBSD communities.

Sendmail did the job of delivering and receiving mail just fine. This until a NT box showed up. The user of the NT box needs to receive and send mail from the NT machine using the bundled in Pop3 client. I need a minimal but stable POP3 server to run on the freeBSD machine. I have seen references to popper, qpopper in the archives ipop3d in the man page and poppassd-4.0 and qpop-2.2 in the ports listing. Is any of these know to work better than the others? Or is there some other port/package known to work well? Thanks in advance. --rohit.

If you have an AMI BIOS, you could try turning power off, and holding down the DEL key while powering up again. That used to reset all options on some BIOSes. Some other motherboards have a jumper you can set to completely erase CMOS RAM, which you could try as well.

Is there any similar product which can be used too, with more or less success ? How naturally it comes , in sense how do I integrate "native" applications I have with NTRIGUE ones ? I'm not quite familiar with NTRIGUE ... so does it ask for the root window, and therefore should be run off separate X11 screen ( say Alt - F3 :) or it happily runs in separate window at common desktop ? I dont want to change my FreeBSD installation for any other OS neither I want to have 2 monitors on the table and alas, still there're certain applications which I need and it happens they run only on Windows ( damn !), so I'm thinking NTRIGUE now .

It is an extremely difficult thing to get many personalities involved in ANY kind of development, much less Un*x. That the FreeBSD team handle it as well as they do is a tremendous credit to them. Apart from the other comments about the development approach, Linux is SystemV-ish, FreeBSD BSD-ish. These two approaches are not entirely compatible, ask anyone using Sun's products (we do, both kinds). Additionally, there is no such thing as the "ultimate OS" in my opinion. We use a lot of Novell and NT at my work, and the Internet flame war of those two (and their followers) is also somewhat reprehensible. If anything, take solace in the fact that progress continues to be made on many fronts. Idealism is a wonderful thing, but some pragmatism must figure in as well. best regards, larry From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 20 07:44:44 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA12136 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 20 Nov 1996 07:44:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from brake.bf.rtu.lv (andris@brake.bf.rtu.lv [159.148.116.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA11699 for ; Wed, 20 Nov 1996 07:40:00 -0800 (PST) Received: (from andris@localhost) by brake.bf.rtu.lv (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA04324; Wed, 20 Nov 1996 17:33:58 +0200 (EET) Date: Wed, 20 Nov 1996 17:33:58 +0200 (EET) From: "A.K."

I'll try to play with it a little and see if I can get the dial-on-demand ironed out. This has been one of the lowest priorities in the world for me, since the only things I do with that (9.6 - ugh) serial line on that platform is ntpdate once in a while and cvsup maybe a couple of times a month. The box in question on my end is a be-all, catch-all system for a dozen or so folks in my immediate workgroup; Samba, DNS, Web development, Telnet access, tcpdump, code development and sandbox. (Basically, it's a data-center-in-a-box(tm).) I can't bounce it as much as I'd like to get the dial-on-demand ironed out, but I'll do so as time permits. Who knows, I may even resort to running `gated` or something just to sort out the routing problems. The handbook section and FAQ are very dicey regarding iij-ppp; the source remains my most valuable reference. While the published documents are nice from a casual users' perspective, (and, in fact, do a nice job of getting newbies up and connected) they seem to come up somewhere short of 'definitive' for more sophisticated roles such as the application I have: running dynamic dial-out in a static-routed, high-availability, multi-interface role. (Then I complicate it by using RFC-1597 addresses on the local net side.) Anyway - nice to hear the ideas of someone with about the same level of expertise as I have on iij-ppp. ...sjs... ---------- From: Christoph Kukulies To: SimsS@Infi.Net Subject: Re: iijppp - cannot ping host after connect Date: Wednesday, November 20, 1996 10:17 AM > Christoph Kukulies has written.... > > > > When I try and ping 205.205.70.175 (my host) nothing happens.

I had been using a partition of my IDE drive before. I just recently bought a SCSI drive that I'd like to put FreeBSD on. I can get through the install fine and everything, but when I try to boot with booteasy it just keeps giving me the boot options and never boots into BSD. However, I can still boot into Win 95. I tried using the OS boot select program from the /pub/FreeBSD/tools directory, but that only gives me an error message saying that there is no OS on my SCSI disk. I can boot into Win 95 with that boot loader as well. Any ideas? My IDE drive (Win 95) is my primary and my SCSI drive (FreeBSD) is recognized at boot time as DOS drive D: (or so my Adaptec would like to think). Any ideas will be greatly appreciated...thanks! - Justin J.

(Please remember -- free-UNIX users aren't corporations! Furthermore I would happily buy the Corel Perfect Suite for $180 CAN, and if the price were $70 Canadian, I will paint my chest with the Corel Wordperfect logo and flash it to everyone I meet. But more seriously, since we are on the subject of porting the Corel Perfect suite, I should tell you of a TOTALLY new marketing strategy which Corel should take with regard to its office suite. I was going to save it for my cover-letter on my resume, but what the heck, here it is: Microsoft's Office Suite is entrenched in the market and it is very unlikely that anyone will dislodge it, though one may gain a profitable market segment. Secondly, Microsoft with its monopolistic practices will always have an advantage in developing such application software because it is the designer of the operating system on which the applications will run. Short of a marketing blunder Microsoft will rule the Suite market for Win95, WinNT, and Win3.1. Then what is the weakness in Microsoft's marketing strategy which can be exploited? -- The weakness of their OS -- namely WinNT. The weakness of NT is that it is not entrenched in the the server/workstation marketplace. It is steadily gaining acceptance, but it is not entrenched. If another equally or more powerful and significantly cheaper (even free operating system) were available, it could gain acceptance readily (though probably with considerable marketing effort, at first, to enlighten buyers.) If this new operating system were to be significantly competive with WindowsNT, then the market would be wide open for all vendors of Suite applications willing to develop applications for this new operating system. (An if one vendor were to have a lead in the development cycle, it might gain a significant market share. ;-) ) There is such an operating system and it is FreeBSD UNIX (or Linux though the latter's unstructured development strategy makes it less stable). It has full internet capabilites. On an intel 386 machine it (FreeBSD) can serve as a workstation and as a server. Also it can function as a router. It comes with and runs X-windows applications. Thousands of pieces of software run on it and hundreds of these applications are included in the initial purchase. It comes with NFS and NIS and comes with a LAN Manager server software (Samba). Furthermore it can turn your old 386s and 486s into an intranet server. A server running FreeBSD can act as a LAN Manager server, a http server, a database server and as an application work station (and as JAVA SERVER AND CLIENT with some work) at the same time. With the existence of this software there is really no need for anyone to Pay $800 US to get and NT sever when he can get this equally, if not more, powerful operating system, for $24.95 on one CD-ROM or for free off the internet. There are difficulties with FreeBSD from an ease-of-use point of view and from the point of view of someone looking for compatibility with the latest whiz-bang gadgets, but these deficiencies can be overcome by the following marketing and software development strategy. If Corel is serious about dislodging Microsoft from its near monopolistic dominance in the Suite's market, it might consider doing the following: 1. Develop its commercial office suite software for FreeBSD or Linux (or both) and market it for a reasonable price. 2. Commit software engineers to participate in developing FREE software to make FreeBSD (or Linux) a more manageable and useable for UNIX novices. This would include the development of a better (and free) X-Windows manager, the development of an easier installation and configuration process for both UNIX server components and widely used application servers (--actually the UNIX installation is quite easy as it is, but it probably can be improved--) , and the development of drivers for the latest and greatest devices. 3. Commit marketing personnel and technical staff to sell the virtues of the newly packaged FreeBSD OS and Corel-WP office suite bundle and provide technical support. This incredible operating system should and can be included FREE as part of the WP software, or office suite software. Corel might even adapt FreeBSD and market it as a central JAVA server for its new upcoming JAVA office suite. This would be the first complete workstation/server, internet/intranet ready operating system and office suite bundle solution, as far as I know. (Corel might even be able to get a foot hold into the database system market.) Now, I must make some comments on item 2. First, Corel may be reluctant to participate in developing freely distributable software but this is not new. Sun's development of Java, Microsofts development of Explorer, and Apple's participation in the development of Linux for PowerMac demonstrate the advantage of developing free software. It allows profit-making corporations to get foot holds into new potential markets. Corel's participation in the development of free components for FreeBSD will help make FreeBSD more widely useable and in turn will provide Corel with a new market for its Office Suite for FreeBSD. Secondly, a better windows manger incorporated with a graphical system manger will make FreeBSD as user friendly as WindowsNT for those with command-line phobia. Hard core command-line UNIX addicts can still use their UNIX shells. Thirdly, putting considerable resource into the development and testing of drivers will make FreeBSD useable to a wide segment of the intel market for the present and for the future and thus create wide market for office suite applications. This is a viable strategy, if Corel is willing to put some resources behind it. By this strategy Corel can exploint the chink in Microsofts armour. (And, heck, if you need someone to hire to help you get this done, e-mail me.) Edward Ing.

What's > up? You need a .bash_profile as well for a login shell. To quote the man page: When bash is invoked as a login shell, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behav- ior. When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc. My .bash_profile contains simply: if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.bashrc; fi Thinking about it, it would seem logical just to link them together.

I take it that your FreeBSD machine is not on the internet? If so, you'll need to download the port tarball from the FreeBSD ftp site, and Netscape's tarball from their site. Then put it in the correct directory (look at the section about ports in the handbook) and make the port.

KJ. FWIW, I work in an environment with FreeBSD and Linux interacting many ways all the time. FreeBSD (x 2 boxes) here are 2.2-current, the box I talk to (connected via PPP) is Linux with a 2.0.24 kernel, and next to that box runs a dedicated news machine which runs FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA, with NFS, ftp, telnet, ssh, rsh, rlogin and nntp used *often* between them. There are no problems at all doing any of this, nor have there ever been. Whatever the problem is, it is very doubtful that it is related to which operating system one system or the other machine runs, but almost definitely in how they are configured. Places to start looking are obviously on the Linux box, perhaps /etc/inetd.conf, to see which services are enabled or not as the case may be, and/or whether specific services may be being denied by tcpwrappers.

It's not that confusing, if you'd just take 10 minutes to understand it. And btw, FreeBSD gives you the same thing. If you look in your sysconfig, it references /usr/local/etc/rc.d and /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d, where you can put startup files. The files must end in .sh. I use them for everything now, instead of /etc/rc.local. It gives you much more flexability to stop and start packages. Oh, I'm not defending linux. I've never used it and don't know much about it.

I take it libc.so.3.0 will have threads? (Do I hear POSIX here..)

The map file, in /etc/amd.map, looks like this: /defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost};rhost:=${key} * opts:=rw,grpid valis type:=auto;\ fs:=${map};\ pref:=${key}/ valis/cdrom type:=program;\ fs:=/mnt/cdrom;\ mount:="/sbin/mount mount /mnt/cdrom";\ unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /mnt/cdrom" The first two lines are as shipped with 2.1.5R, the rest of it I added. The mountpoint for valis (the name of the machine) is just to keep all the mounts for that machine in one place, in case I have have more than one box here. The CD is locally mounted on /mnt/cdrom, with a corresponding entry in /etc/fstab: /dev/wcd0c /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 Amd then mounts this as /a/valis/cdrom, and a have a symbolic link from /cdrom to there. Thus a 'cd /cdrom' now causes the CD to be mounted :) I'm running amd at boot time, with the following line in /etc/sysconfig: amdflags="-a /a -c 1800 -k i386 -d dcs.qmw.ac.uk -l syslog /a /etc/amd.map" All this was arrived at through several hours of trial and error, plus lots of cursing at the amd documentation. I still don't really inderstand what it's all doing, but it does appear to work.

We are converting from IPX and NETBluey to TCP/IP. So far we have an NT server running TCP/IP with one connected NT client (works fine). However, we have no router, nor a DNS (we are not yet connected to the net). My FreeBSD box is P/75 32MB RAM, with 3C509 NIC at 340/IRQ 10. On boot FreeBSD finds the NIC no problem, and does not pause on the add gateway or sendmail startups, "ifconfig -a" shows the following: lp0: flags=8810(POINTTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ep0: flags=863 mtu 1500 inet 164.144.6.80 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 164.144.6.255 ether 00:a0:24:25:e4:59 lo0: flags=8009 mtu 552 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 tun0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 while "netstat -n" gives nothing. Another netmask I have tried is 255.255.254.0, since we'll be using two class-C nets. I can send or post sysconfig, etc. on request. We have a Compass Network Analyzer which I have not been able to make see my FreeBSD machine. When attempting ping, the Compass unit says "Specified IP host does not response to ARP requests." I'm bummed. Someone said something about the NT server using DEC-encompassed (Frame_II) IP packets as opposed to Frame_802.2. Is this a potential problem? Since we have no DNS or router set up (we're still using IPX/NETBEUI for everthing else) is this the problem? Don't remember this kind of problems setting up FreeBSD before on a Novell net.

Here are the changes I made... there's more here than you need to fix your problem, but it's been a while and I don't remember all the particulars. I'm still running 2.0.5, but I don't think that makes any real difference wrt the problem. Your problem is caused by the -D_POSIX_SOURCE in the Makefile, so if you don't want to blindly apply these patches, you can start by just removing that. Beware; watch out for the mailer possiblly mangling the tabs in the following patch. I also use a modified autoconf to generate the configure script, so you might need a few more tweeks here and there. Now, whether or not this just skirts an actual problem with the headers... I don't know. This is just a brute force way to get it to compile. Good luck.

I have a 3 Com ethernet card which is ep0, this card has several virtual hosts ip's one it. Everything is working well with that, as the default route is the ethernet card and the gateway is localhost. However, when I log in via PPP from home, it makes tun0 the default gateway. What I would like gated to do, is keep ep0/localhost the default gateway no matter what. I am unsure if this is because of the lack of a configuration file for gated, or because of the way my ppp.linkup file is set up. My ppp.linkup file looks like this, which appears it may be the culprit: MYADDR: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR I have tried setting it like this, and it still overwrites my default route. add 207.51.167.252 0 HISADDR Basically, I want to keep the tun0 device from becoming the default route. I don't know enough about adding/deleting routes to play around with these numbers and make it work. A little background info: to enter ppp, I am just having it run ppp -direct and making sure I give the ifaddr line on the client. In the end, I would like to have ip's 207.51.167.252 and 207.51.167.253 go threw tun0 to my computer here at home, and then anything else (besides localhost) go through ep0. This I did have working well with routed under 2.1.5, but with Gated, it just likes to overwrite my default route. Any suggestions?

I think I've missed some major stages. OS FBSD 2.1.5 I have a server on my network that I believe is configured as a master nis passwd server. But I need a way of checking really. However I do not seem to be able to get my nis client machine to work. I have added +:::::::: to /etc/passwd (vipw) and +::: to /etc/group I don;t believe I have to make anything under /var/yp, but if I do try it says that it cannot find /etc/defaultdomain/master.passwd.byname - HUH? executing ypbind with 'any' options just returns the prompt with no errors of reports ? and ypset cat yp_bind as ypbind doesn't seem to have stayed up. What I could really do with is a check list ofr the configuration. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you VERY much.

Thanks a bunch! > (oh, i use Walnu Creek CD) I don't think you can boot FreeBSD off the second IDE drive. I tried installing on a second drive, too, but I couldn't ever get it to boot correctly. I take it you want to use the second drive because your entire first drive is a single NT partition. I had a situation like that, and used Partition Magic to shrink the partition (running it from a DOS boot floppy), which gave me space to put a FreeBSD partition on the first drive. It's not necessary to write the MBR during the FreeBSD install; when you restart, System Commander will notice a new system in the partition. I don't remember that I had to do anything special to get it to present that partition as a boot choice. -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu Home page: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/people/dubois Software: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 21 17:11:18 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA02366 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 21 Nov 1996 17:11:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from calvin.pitzer.edu (Calvin.Pitzer.Edu [134.173.112.22]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id RAA02356 for ; Thu, 21 Nov 1996 17:11:15 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (brosenga@localhost) by calvin.pitzer.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id RAA00979 for ; Thu, 21 Nov 1996 17:13:06 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 21 Nov 1996 17:13:06 -0800 (PST) From: Snob Art Genre To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: tcsh apparently failing to run .cshrc Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Some of my users are having problems with their .cshrc failing to run when they log in.

Secondly, I like the way FreeBSD has organized the software packages and the package installation/uninstallation tools, and organized the auxillary software into a ports collection with a set of "make" skeletons (which even ftp to get the required sources.) The organzation of your distribution is reaching an equally well thought-out state. The FreeBSD distribution process, and its development/research structure can serve as a good model for Linux development to improve your distribution. My concerned for Linux (Slackeware linux was actually the first free UNIX which I started with) is that the many variants are leading it to the way of the BSD-SystemV-AIX-HP-UX-you-name-it schism. I really appreciate what Debian is trying to do for the free-UNIX world and hope that it will not be too stubborn, but use the FreeBSD distribution and development structure as a model and integrate it into the advantageous aspects of Debians existing package managment system. I will probably be installing a Debian system sometime, but I am waiting for a neat realease.

My thanks to Paul Root, Nadav Eiron, and Andrew for their suggestions. Although it gave an error, the tip of using 1:wd(2,a) at the boot prompt did get the system booted. I proceeded to follow another suggestion and rebuilt the kernel, changing the line to 'config kernel root on wd2'. However, the system still panics and says it can't mount the root. Again, 1:wd(2,a) is the only way I can get a successful boot. Any ideas or suggestions?

The users are logging in with /etc/passwd, that is, they're telnetting in directly to my machine. Yes, I'm sure of the location and permissions on the .cshrc's; they were added with the adduser Perl script. I installed tcsh with pkg_add via sysinstall. I am running version 2.1.5 of FreeBSD off the CD-ROM, with only minor adjustments to the kernel. On the only account on which I was able to see this directly, there was an additional problem. I su'd to that account and found that I was unable to read or write its files! I logged in as root on another vty and tried it again, and root could read and write the files with no problem. As root, I copied the .cshrc file for this account to a .tcshrc, and it ran on login as expected. I removed the .tcshrc and .cshrc still didn't work. Sorry about the verbosity.

I have used command prompt windows under Win95 successfuly, but there were many reports of this (and even DOS mode) not working for other people.

To do that, you must first install SSLeay (I have 0.6.4 on a 2.1.5-R machine with Apache 1.1.1). SSLeay, I think, is the component that gives you legal problems in the U.S., certainly for commercial use.

I'd have to guess, since you don't describe what happens instead. I'd guess that you have geometry problems. That's a point I didn't discuss in too much detail in the book. Disable the automatic translation feature that newer host adaptors offer. If you're sharing the disk with DOS, make sure your root file system is fully in the first 504 MB. If neither of these apply, give some more details and I'll see what I can come up with.

Could it be that your hytelnet is reading the termcap definitions from a different place? termcap used to be in /etc/termcap, and later it got moved to /usr/share/misc/termcap.

Currently I've been trying to use cut and dd but I can's figure out how to set what I cut to a variable. Can anyone please help me?

There doesn't exist _good_ driver in 2.1.5r, 2.1.6r for 3c590/595, but there is _good_ and even working driver in -current tree/2.2-ALPHA tree. As for SMC, we _use_ SMC DEC 2104x based cards on 2.1.0r, 2.1.5r, 2.2-ALPHA for a year already, i.e. - they work. Plugged on various kinds of motherboads.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The following is my theoretical network. H's are hosts, N's are networks. x.x.n.n are the interface IPs. Ha is the highest node. N1 is like the backbone. So the internetwork is asymmetrical, and not quite like the picture. |---Ha --------| x.x.3.1 | | x.x.1.4 | | N3---------- -----------N1 | | | | x.x.3.5 | | x.x.1.5 Hc Hd x.x.4.1 | | x.x.2.1 | | N4------------ ------------N2 | | | | x.x.4.5 | x.x.2.5 | He Hb Assume that these hosts are only a fraction of the hosts on each network so no fix networking table is used for routing because it would be too complicated. Defautroute (0.0.0.0) for He is x.x.4.1, for Hc is x.x.3.1, for Hb is x.x.2.1 for Hd is x.x.1.4. If Ha is given a default route, we will get a ping-pong effect. E.g. If default route of Ha is x.x.3.5 (Hc) and if He sends packet to Hb this effect shows up. He routes to Hc on defaultroute, Hc routes to Ha on defaultroute. Ha routes back to Hc on its default route and thus the hosts play ping-pong. A packet from He will never find Hb. Nor can Ha have default to Hd, otherwise the same effect occurs on the other side. Thus, Ha cannot have a defaultroute. But if that is the case, Hb and He can never send packets to each other in anycase. My question is: how is it possible for Hb and He to route packages to each other? Obviously theoretically they can because it happens on the Internet. Thus, how can this theoretically be accomplished. The answer I think must have to do with dynamic routing tables in Ha. Or is it done with distributed routing tables (like DNS)? Is this why Ha is a router rather than a mere gateway? How would this work? I would appreciate a concise answer. Edward Ing.

(excuse me for my english) 1- how can I give a name to my host like: toto.tata.fr and not: myname.my.domaine ? 2- I wanted to enable the linux emulator and make the kernel reconize my sound card, so I make a new kernel. The linux emulator works, but for the sound card, I can read in the startup sb0: sbmid : not found in H330 ( or something like that) why sbmid don't works ? After that I do: /dev/MAKEDEV all to enable the sound devices. but the next time a reboot I had this message when it starts: swapon /dev/wd1s1b No such file or directory . . /dev/wd1s1e : No such file or directory Can't stat /dev/wd1s1e Automatyic file system check failed....help! (I note that I install FreeBSD on my second Hard drive wd1, and I mount / on wd1a, swap on wd1b and /usr on wd1e) I have just a sh shell and the root_device, no swap and no /usr. So I wrote to Mr roberto who tells me to reboot like single users with (-s) in the boot command, to mount read_write / with "mount -u /" and toi make the needed devices in /dev with "sh MAKEDEV wd1s1" and to reboot with "sync;sync;sync;reboot" I do that, but the problem was the same when the host reboot. the needed devices wd1s1b and wd1s1e dosen't be created !!! so I try to do something: I replace in the file /etc/fstab wd1s1b by wd1b and wd1s1e by wd1e (wd1b and wd1e exists in /dev) and I reboot, this time it works. But i don't think it's a good and a stable way. A day after I heve another idea: Go to /dev and do "sh MAKEDEV wd1s1e" after this command, I found wd1s1a wd1s1b wd1s1c wd1s1d wd1s1f .... in the /dev directory, so I edit /etc/fstab and i change it like it was before and I reboot, It works. But there are anormal things: -copying files from hard drive to a floppy became very slow. - in the /dev directory, with the command "ls -al" there are some files like that: crw------- 1 root wheel 15, 536870912 Nov 20 22:17 rcd0.ctl crw------- 1 root wheel 17, 536870912 Nov 20 22:17 rch0.ctl crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 65538 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0 crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 536870912 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0.ctl crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 131074 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 196610 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0s2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 262146 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0s3 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 327682 Nov 20 22:17 rsd0s4 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 65546 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1 crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 536870920 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1.ctl crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 131082 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 196618 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1s2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 262154 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1s3 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 327690 Nov 20 22:17 rsd1s4 crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 65554 Nov 20 22:17 rsd2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 65538 Nov 20 22:17 rwd0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131074 Nov 20 22:17 rwd0s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 196610 Nov 20 22:17 rwd0s2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 262146 Nov 20 22:17 rwd0s3 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 327682 Nov 20 22:17 rwd0s4 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 65546 Nov 21 23:52 rwd1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131082 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131080 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1a crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131081 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1b crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131082 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1c crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131083 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1d crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131084 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1e crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131085 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1f crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131086 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1g crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 131087 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s1h crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 196618 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 262154 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s3 crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 327690 Nov 21 23:53 rwd1s4 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 65538 Nov 20 22:17 sd0 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 131074 Nov 20 22:17 sd0s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 196610 Nov 20 22:17 sd0s2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 262146 Nov 20 22:17 sd0s3 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 327682 Nov 20 22:17 sd0s4 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 65546 Nov 20 22:17 sd1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 131082 Nov 20 22:17 sd1s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 196618 Nov 20 22:17 sd1s2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 262154 Nov 20 22:17 sd1s3 brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 327690 Nov 20 22:17 sd1s4 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 65538 Nov 20 22:17 wd0 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131074 Nov 20 22:17 wd0s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 196610 Nov 20 22:17 wd0s2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 262146 Nov 20 22:17 wd0s3 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 327682 Nov 20 22:17 wd0s4 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 65546 Nov 21 23:52 wd1 ...... brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 131082 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131080 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1a brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131081 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1b brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131082 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1c brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131083 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1d brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131084 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1e brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131085 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1f brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131086 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1g brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131087 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s1h brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 196618 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 262154 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s3 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 327690 Nov 21 23:53 wd1s4 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 65554 Nov 20 22:17 wd2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 16 Nov 20 22:17 wd2a brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 17 Nov 20 22:17 wd2b brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 18 Nov 20 22:17 wd2c brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 19 Nov 20 22:17 wd2d can I remove all these files and recreate them with "sh MAKEDEV all" ?

I'd be interested to know why you think Linux memory management is better than FreeBSD's. > My question is why have two OS rather than one REALLY good one? Nobody's answered this question, so I'll hop in with an opinion. It may not be yours. And that's the reason: different people have different opinions about what makes up not just a good operating system, but just about every minor detail in the implementation of a good operating system. Now that it good bases for free operating systems exist, every man and his dog are bringing out their own versions. > Why dont programmers,hackers,develepors of both teams unite to write the > ultimite OS? > Why the two teams mock at each other? Dont they see the danger in front of > them? Hmmm. A lot of *BSD people look down at Linux, and their opinion isn't always justified. But, as somebody else said, I don't think they mock each other that much. Maybe more happens on the other side; I'm sure that Linux has more religious following than FreeBSD does. I think it would be nice if people would get together, though, and appreciate that Linux and *BSD are pretty close in the overall spectrum of operating systems. But I don't think anybody really wants to merge them: everybody has their own idea of what's right. > Windows NT has only one goal: to kill UNIX and every flavour of it! That's incorrect. Microsoft has only one goal: total world control. Killing UNIX is just a rather unimportant step on the way. BTW: if anybody wants to follow up, please do it to freebsd-chat. -questions isn't really the correct forum.

Wrong port, perhaps? Check the man page for ep: The default port to use is the BNC.

Or is it done with distributed routing > tables (like DNS)? Yes, it's done by configuring the routing tables in Ha correctly. For a small network that doesn't change, you can configure them by hand. Normally however, it's done with one of the various routing daemons which use the routing protocols to talk to the other hosts. > Is this why Ha is a router rather than a mere gateway? No. Any system that links two IP networks is a router. Ha, Hc, and Hd are all acting as routers in your example. And they can all be thought of as gateways. It's just that the simple default route approach won't work once the routes get too complex. Ha is the only host in your example that has reached this point. > How would this work? I would appreciate a concise answer. To make your example network work, all hosts would need to known the correct route to all networks. The two leaf node hosts, He and Hb, could just use default routes to Hc and Hd respectfully. Hc and Hd could also just have a default route to Ha. Ha, as you pointed out, can't get by with only a default route. It's connected to N1 and N3, so it "knows" the correct route for hosts on those two networks. But it needs to know the correct route for N4 an N2. For hosts on N4, it needs to known to use host Hc as the gateway, and for hosts on N2, it should use Hd. This can be done with with route add commads something like this: route add x.x.2.0 Hd route add x.x.4.0 Hc If your x.x is really a class B net, then you might have to do something like this (I'm not really sure how it all works these days...) route add -net x.x.2.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 Hd If you run routing deamons, they need to run on Ha, Hc, and Hd. The ones on Hc and Hd tell the one on Ha about the N4 and N2 networks. I think the simple routed deamon that comes with FreeBSD should be able to do this for you, but it has been awhile since I had to deal with this so I'm not sure of the details.

One thing to check is to see if you have a statically-compiled tar and gzip.

Or you need a lot of static routing. Each node needs to know where to send packets. If you have two wires out of a box, you need to explain to the box which packets you want going out each wire. It is okay to have default going out one way, and static routes the other. In your sample network: He points default to x.x.4.1. Hc knows to reach He (x.x.4.5) implicitly, because it is on a directly connected network. This is, nevertheless, routing, and you MUST think of it as such. Ha knows how to reach Hc (x.x.3.5) by the same "implicit" rule, but does not know how to reach Hc (x.x.4.1) or He (x.x.4.5). Ha needs to be told "route -net x.x.4.0 -netmask 0xffffff00 x.x.3.5", which instructs Ha to forward all packets for x.x.4.* to x.x.3.5. This is static routing. Hd knows how to reach Ha (x.x.1.4) but not Ha (x.x.3.1) or Hc (x.x.3.5) or anything further down that chain. Now if Ha is your "main" router, you can solve this by telling Hd that the default route is "x.x.1.4", because Ha already knows how to reach all the way to He. Static routing is generally acceptable up to a certain point. I maintain two tiered routing (I have a "main" router and other routers, the main router maintains a full list of static routes, the others only know their local routes) but it is mildly annoying after a while. The disadvantage to this is that in many cases your packets will traverse the "main" router even if there is a slightly more efficient path between two routers on your backbone "without" going through that main router. You can avoid this by more completely calculating your routes; I consider this to be a pain in the ***. It is a pain in the *** anyways because you have to maintain the "main" router in addition to your other routers. Dynamic routing (via a routing protocol) is nicer because you (hopefully!) do not have to maintain the same routing information in multiple places (you have no designated "main" router that has an authoritative list of routes). I am in the midst of deploying OSPF for this purpose. OSPF will automatically maintain knowledge of the state of each internal link in my network, and knows about external links from my network to other places. With this knowledge, OSPF works to calculate the most efficient route from one point to the next. This also allows for redundancy in your internal networking structure, so that there is more than one path from point to point. Static routing generally is very poor at that. I suggest the routing protocol will be easier, long term. See "Routing in the Internet", a good reference book on the topic. > The following is my theoretical network.

If the router didn't change it's interface address in that subnet then you don't have to change anything.

Make sure you've disabled the ze0 driver. It will clash and mess up zp0. Hit 'scroll lock' and arrow up to see the boot messages. 2. Run 3c589cfg against the card and hard-wire it's settings to something sane, like irq 10 port 300. If that doesn't work, you'll have to use the 2.1.5 PAO boot floppy.

Therefore, the timing of the various DTMF signals is NOT scriptable in the sense that you can wait for certain responses from the modem to initiate the next sequence of numbers.

So you end up with a really bare boot floppy that may not work for everyone because they had to remove the Seagate SCSI card driver and your FreeBSD disk is hanging off one of those. Second, the PAO floppies are built post-RELEASE by someone outside the FreeBSD developer's team, so when the CD goes to press the new boot floppy hasn't been rolled yet. Putting the last RELEASE's PAO floppy on the current RELEASE CDROM doesn't make sense when you have to do a net install anyway. :( I suppose the developer team could pull Hosokawa in, it's a question if he's willing to do that. Third, the machines that don't work with the default GENERIC kernel are few and far between. I've seen three machines just recently with problems detecting the 3c589s (one personally) but that is a rash. Normally I don't get much questions about it on -questions. I agree that it would be nice to have that support on the CDROM as an alternate boot floppy image. But it's a question if FreeBSD wants to incorporate (and support) that software.

I don't know about the length, but most modern modems use an "=" sign in the dialing string to signify "wait for a dial tone", and a "," to signify "pause", so you could use 800xxxxxxx=0xxxxxxxxxx,,,xxxxxxxxxxxxx to do what you wanted.

Perhaps the modem will not accept a string as long as the one you need. I had this problem with a modem in a portable, dialing from either OS/2 (a REXX script) or Windows 3.1 (trumpet). I had to divide the number into two or three pieces and assign them variable names, then tell it to dial each of the pieces. This did work, but of course the scripts are in different languages from the one you need to use.

There are more people out there documenting Linux, but quite honestly, I hadn't seen a problem in this area. I recently considered printing some books with the FreeBSD online documentation (mainly the man pages, but also the handbook) and discovered it was impractical: it would have come to about 7,000 pages. If Linux has more than that (quantity, not quality) then that's a problem. > okay, okay since you twisted my arm i will ask one more question :) > can FreeBSD run BSDI binaries? and if so how well.

Some of them are. Actually most of them. You should at least read the handbook (better read the on-line version at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook since it's usually more up-to date and complete than the version which comes on CD). If you're an Unix novice, you WILL want to buy a good book of Unix basics (see the bibliography section in the handbook) else you won't survive. I have no idea as to whether this list need idiots or not (I am *not* implying that you are one). What I know is that we need people reading documentation before asking. Now back to your questions: > I managed to create a file called "first file" (yes, with a > space), and cannot delete it as FreeBSD is treating as two files which > don't exist. Type: rm "first file" at the shell's prompt (*with* the quotes) > Nextly, I created a user on the system (which is me), mainly > because it seemed at the time (during install), that it was the thing to > do. How do I log on as admin instead of user? ( did I mention I am an > idiot?) The admin user is called "root" on every Unix I know. So you have to log in as root for installation and administration tasks, at least until the system is reasonably set up. After that, it's generally recommended to use the "su" command whenever you need it from your regular user account (go read what "man su" says). If you followed the default installation steps, the "root" account has no password, so you don't need to type one. Of course you *do* need to set a reasonable password at once (do that with the "passwd" command). > Thirdly, I wish to install the man pages. My disk space situation > is looking pretty grim.

Type: pkg_info -a -I to get a list of installed packages and consider removing what you don't need. Think twice before removing anything. You could render your system unusable.

Alas the PAO floppy doesn't really work. My Megahertz ethernet card is recognized, I can ifconfig it. But when I try to access the network (ping or whatever) nothing appears on the net. The laptop thinks it is sending to the ethernet correctly, but when I look from another computer with tcpdump I see no activity at all. I'm really dissapointed. On my main computer I had to install Linux because of ISDN support. Now I thought that at least on my new laptop I could run FreeBSD, but as it stands now Linux does support my pcmcia ethernet card but FreeBSD does not. I was hoping I could finally have a nice FreeBSD computer again. I really hope I can make PAO work on my laptop. I might want to try to build a kernel from PAO together with -current on my main computer, then try this kernel on my laptop.

Right problem, though I couldn't find man or apropos anything for ep. (I'm still running 2.1.0 that could be why.) In man ifconfig, links are stated to be to enable or disable special link processing for SLIP etc. Quite vague = I'm lost. I also don't have a /etc/hostname.ep? file. I got the card to work by using the 3c5x9cfg.exe DOS program and changing the interface type (?from memory) from automatic to TP (R45). In /etc/sysconfig removed all the link stuff from ifconfig_ep0. Thanks for all the answers. Now on to my hangover ehhh.. Glen "Ah yes - THIS is the beauty of the net. Good OS and good people."

Just a couple of weeks ago I completed a FreeBSD 2.1.5 install on a Texas Instruments TM 4000 WinDX2 50MHz notebook. It has a 810MB AIDE disk and 8MB RAM. It works like charm now, but I had some problems during the install phase that I thought I would share, and some questions arise. 1'st the install phase. I made the boot disk on my Dual Pentium (IX) off the 2.1.5 WC CD. The TI booted OK. I proceeded to configure the disk (all disk space allocated to FreeBSD). In the meantime I had connected the TI to my network, with an interlink cable, to the PPro200 (DUNE). The plan was to access IX over the network, which had the SCSI CD-ROM at the time. I have used this procedure with several other brands of notebooks earlier, with success. I went through the process of configuring the parallel port device (lp0) on the TI with DUNE's IP address and got an instant error message: "Cannot configure device lp0", even if the boot process had reported the parallel port as "TCP/IP capable interface". I tried several times, even doing an "ifconfig lp0 " had no effect. I then proceeded to make the bin floppy distribution on MS-DOS formatted diskettes. After the dismal process of producing the diskettes, I began the installation anew. The TI notebook booted OK, but when I inserted the first floppy, the machine just hung on the floppy disk seek indefinitely. When I released the BIN floppy, I got a prompt reply that the install program had detected that the floppy had been removed. I got NO other error messages on the debug screen, or on the console. I repeated this a couple of times, and checking that all the files was on the floppies and that the catalog structure was right. It was. I must admit that I nearly gave up at the time, but I figured I just test a DOS partition install, which I had not used before. I set the disk up with 50MB and DOS 6.22 and the rest to FreeBSD, loaded the BIN floppies to "C:\FREEBSD\BIN". Proceeded to boot on the same FreeBSD boot floppy, specified a DOS partition install in the MEDIA menu, and presto, I had an operative FreeBSD on the TI notebook! And wonders of wonders, when I tested the "laplink" connection to DUNE, it also worked, so I proceeded to fetch the rest of the distribution with a standard NFS install over lp0. To conclude, the infamous floppy disk on the TI works as a charm now :->>> So, to the questions: 1. Is there something I have missed in the 2.1.5 install procedure related to "laplink" installs over lp ports? (I forgot to mention that all the other "laplink" installs I have done was with FreeBSD 2.0.5 and 2.0) 2. Is there any known problems with floppy disks "going to sleep on you" during the install phase? Comments on this, anyone? Best regards, Stein M.

The problem is, ifconfig doesn't know anything about the interfaces: it just sets flag bits (that's why they have such noncomittal names as link0 and link1). As a result, it can't tell you what each individual interface does, though I suppose it should point you to the individual interface man pages. I suppose we should do something about that.... > I also don't have a /etc/hostname.ep? file. You don't need one.

How do I log on as admin instead of user? It was a good thing to do, to create a user account for yourself. You can do a lot of damage logged in as root. The "administration" account is named "root". Read /etc/passwd for information on accounts your system has, but don't edit it with anything other than vipw. You really need the online man pages as no book from the library is going to do a perfect job of describing any specific Un*x.

Following one of the suggestions given, I rebuild the kernel to address the problem of booting from wd2 (second drive, second controller). The pertinent lines in kernel file are as follows: config kernel root on wd1 options ATAPI controller wdc0 ... disk wd0... device wcd0... controller wdc1... disk wd1... This accurately reflects my hardware setup (hard drive and CD on IDE controller 0/hard drive on IDE controller 1). In fact, as the system boots and probes, it speeds thru the hardware. Previously, there were considerable pauses occurring as the drives were being probed. Now however, the following appears after probing: swapon: /dev/wd2s1b: Device not configured Automatic reboot in progress... Can't open /dev/rwd2a: Device not configured /dev/rwd2a: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM. /dev/rwd2a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. Automatic file system check failed... help! Let me echo that request: Help!!! I kinda understand what's happening here; wd2 has now become wd1 (due to a problem in the way BIOS numbers drive, or so I gather) and for some reason the system is looking for its goodies on wd2, right? Question is: how do I get the system to start looking at wd1 instead?! Let me perhaps complicate the problem by stating that the shell is the only thing that seems to work; I can't get into a text editor. I could use a DETAILED description (please remember, I know DOS and Windows forward and backwards; but UNIX is completely new to me) of how to go about correcting this problem. Many thanks in advance, especially to the many who have already help me so far. I realize this is all volunteer support and I would have given up long ago without the help...

In the passwd file I changed my root startup shell from /bin/sh to /bin/bash. Cept the problem is that bash is in /usr/local/bin/bash ... So now I can't login as root because it can't find bash..and of course since I can't login as root, then I can't fix my error. So I thought I would use the fixit floppy..I mean..that's what its for right? How hard could it be? So I get the fixit floppy up...mount the hard drive on /mnt and dive into /mnt/etc..cept there is no editor..not even vi that I can fix the passwd file with. So I'm thinking that as long as I have the hard drive mounted, then I can run the binary off the hard disk..so I cd to /mnt/usr/bin..but there is no bin directory. Maybe /usr is mounted on a different partition. /dev/wd0a is mounted on /mnt /dev/wd0b doesn't exist /dev/wd0c will not mount .etc.. I finally give up... So I can't get to vi..hrmm what to do next..create a new root user maybe.. echo "" >> passwd echo "> master.passwd Seemed to work fine..guess I will reboot the server now and login as mojo now. When I reboot the machine...the kernel gives me lines of ridiculous errors chmod after chmod.. And then it tells me that it can't start a system daemon called "cronblah" And FINALLY it comes up claiming that its no longer www.dancooks.com ..now its just (Amnesiac). Now if someone could please tell me how APPENDING a line to the passwd and master.passwd files could TOTALLY screw up my machine..I would be grateful. If someone could tell me how to fix this TOTALLY screwed up machine I would be even more greatful. I admit most of this garbage is probably due to my lack of experience with FreeBSD...I have used slackware for a long time and never had these kinds of difficulties..but I wanted to use FreeBSD for its great network stability. I really want to get this FreeBSD up, running, & stable as a permanent web server for my company..I think its a great OS made by great people. But its just so volatile, that if it breaks..I have a really hard time fixing it.

In loading emacs, it installs with no error messages but will not run, failing to locate libXmu.so.6.0. Where is this? Where is emacs (emacs-19.31) supposed to be? What libraries need to be where? This typifies the problems I had in loading the software originally. It would help generally if there was an outline of what should be where, and what adjunct files should be downloaded with something like emacs-19.31. I really do appreciate your help. If I could just find my old unix books... Thanks Again!

I get all the way to the "Commit" dialog box, which executes to bring up a message box indicating that installation is progressing.

I'm using the method described in the Greg Lehey book, The Complete FreeBSD, c.1996, with two CDROMS having version 2.1.5, dated August 1996, Walnut Creek CDROM, "Install from a FreeBSD CDROM". I chose the "novice" sysinstall; "booteasy" boot manager in the MBR; 32M swap; 410M for /usr; 30M for /var; and 32M for / mount points. I selected the X-User distribution. All of this carefully following the instructions in the book. My system is a Pentium 133 with 16M RAM, 1.2M and 540M Maxtor IDE Hard Drives. I have Windows95 loaded on the 1.2M Hard drive and it is partitioned into 800M and 400M partitions. The 540M Hard drive is to be dedicated in a single partition to FreeBSD. The CDROM is an ATAPI type Quad speed and there is a 1.44M 3.5-inch floppy disk drive. >> Can I get new disks and a new book? Thanks. > >For that you would want to talk to Walnut Creek. This is a volunteer >tech-support mailing list. Okay, Walnut Creek. Is something wrong with my CDROMs? This should be a "simple" installation, right? Thanks for anyone's prompt response. I've already devoted the entire day, Saturday, November 23, 1996, to this yet incompleted effort. I still want to use FreeBSD!

The problem is that my CDR is a SONY CDU-920S (unsupported by FreeBSD 2.2) and a lot of files that I'd like to put on the cdrom as long filename. I have to make the cdrom under w95 with the software that come with CDR (easy cd pro for win95). I did in this way : 1) I created a big tar of all the files I need under FreeBSD 2.2 . (so I can store long filenames) 2) I copied this tar in a msdos drive. 3) I booted in win95 and I uncompressed the tar archive. (the long file name are see by w95 but the dos name is now 8.3 with ~ inside.) 4) I did the cdrom using the the joliet file name (win95 names and dos names) unicode. FreeBSD see the name with the dos name, so the cdrom is ok if I use w95, but when I mount it under FreeBSD I only see the name 8 + 3. 5) Easycd Pro can make the cdrom with the Romeo coding (W95 only file names). Is perhaps this name coding better for FreeBSD ? Is possible to create an image of the cdrom under FreeBSD and then burn it in w95 with easycd pro ? Or if it is not possible is there a way to do this cdrom ?

The excite serch engine will work with some hacking on the install scripts. Most notably, the version of perl shipped with it segfaults. Be warned, the install will attempt to overwrite your existing version of perl with the version it likes(despite what the docs say about not overwriting any system files).

I'm assuming that you have the HD you're trying to install FreeBSD on and the CD-ROM on different IDE interfaces (check your bootup messages to make sure; wcd0 should be on a different wdc device than the wd device that you're trying to install freebsd on) I'm guessing that, based on that info above, you're having the same problem I have: your IDE controller is buggy and doesn't like simultaneous accesses to both of its interfaces. A similar problem is described in a problem report in the gnats database but was never acted on. Does anyone know how to work around this btw? For me, I have a 2 gig drive that's on my second interface and every time i try to really access it my system hard freezes much like what happens above. It's not a hd problem; when the cd and hd are on the same ide interface it works fine. I have a CMD-640B on-board PCI ide controller. What do you have? Anyway, that's my assumptions about your problem.

That never worked for me either... Back to your original question again, try to install FreeBSD on a hd that's on the same interface as your cdrom and see if that works. If so your controller is broken just like mine :-/ -- Jason Garman http://www.nesc.k12.ar.us/~garman/ Student, Eleanor Roosevelt High School garman@phs.k12.ar.us
