The FreeBSD ncr driver does not read the user-setup from NVRAM and it is not possible to tell it about the BUS width at boot time. So, the WIDE negotiation has every chance to occur with great success and, as a result, will break any further data transfer between the controller and the device. > > Is there a way to force the driver to use narrow mode?

You will get the desired effect by just masking the FE_WIDE bit in the 'features' bitmap which is the main result of the chip probe code. Look into ncr_attach(), the patch should be trivial and very short. > I did some more checking around and found out that Debian Linux also works > fine with the Seagate Hawk/Diamond Fireport 40 combination. But FreeBSD, The Linux driver reads the user-setup from the controller NVRAM and apply user desired controller and devices settings. It is also possible to send it boot parameters. The 2nd method is only usefull for controllers that donnot have NVRAM. At the time I have back-ported the Ultra1/2 SCSI support to the FreeBSD ncr driver, the NVRAM code was available in the Linux ncr53c8xx driver, but this code hasn't been candidate to the back-port, since SteFan was working on a different implementation for FreeBSD. > NetBSD, and OpenBSD all suffer from the same problem of being locked on > "wide bus" when I am using the narrow connector. Same problem as FreeBSD. Regards, Gerard.

After about two weeks of being harrassed by a programmer on one of my boxes, I started to dig into it myself. He's been trying to use gprof and the profiling stuff (built with gcc -pg), and its been giving him the error: cc -pg -g -O -Iinclude -Imodules -Lmodules grammar.o coldcc.o [..lots of objects..] shs.o crypt.o -lm -o coldcc ld: -lc_p: no match *** Error code 1 After a few incredibly frustrating hours I was about to throw my hands up in the air and send a 'help please' message off to the mailing list, when I vaguely remembered something about 'profiling' in the installation. A quick check showed that proflibs are a seperate aspect from the regular install, even though 'cc -pg' and 'gprof' and 'profil' and other commands are installed. This is a problem because NOWHERE does it say 'dont forget to install the profiled libraries--otherwise this will not work'. This is a serious frustration factor, quantified by the programming constantly telling me 'it works in linux just fine'. IMHO, one of two things needs to be done: 1) update the man page on anything regarding profiling to say in big letters that 'this will not work unless the profiling libraries are installed' 2) pull all profiling commands out of the base install and wrap them in with proflibs as a generic 'Code Profiling Libraries and Utilities' module, and change it so cc -pg will error out if they are not installed (rather than simply dying with an error of not being able to find libc_p). *GAAH* Ok, I feel better...suppose I should just send-pr this... ohwell, this way it'll also showup in the search so others will find the solution (instead of just the question). -Brandon Gillespie --cWoXeonUoKmBZSoM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: o9mguOydfmNN4fWeUHb66CnKy9cjBCIe iQA/AwUBNg30q0v5XoQiMgn6EQI7xwCgrTU9GXM3/5F4ImylemeUxorv9JoAni5R dTjBkhHMTUWMzpcPydM08SUW =4uWN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --cWoXeonUoKmBZSoM-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 27 03:40:31 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id DAA14434 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Sep 1998 03:40:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from dt053nb4.san.rr.com (dt053nb4.san.rr.com [204.210.34.180]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA14389 for ; Sun, 27 Sep 1998 03:40:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Studded@dal.net) Received: from dal.net (Studded@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by dt053nb4.san.rr.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA01541; Sun, 27 Sep 1998 03:39:54 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from Studded@dal.net) Message-ID: <360E15F9.3D3F4418@dal.net> Date: Sun, 27 Sep 1998 03:39:53 -0700 From: Studded Organization: Triborough Bridge & Tunnel Authority X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.7-STABLE-0920 i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "jordi.net" CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: download References: <3.0.5.32.19980927011620.007a9180@jordi.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG jordi.net wrote: > > hi > i have a 3 giga hard drive it´s divided in c: and D: and i´d like to > install freebsd to d: how do i do that??? Assuming that D: is either a primary partition, or the only logical drive on an extended partition (one of the two is almost certainly true), it's very simple. When doing the install just tell FreeBSD to destroy the existing partition and create a new FreeBSD style partition (we call them slices). There is a section in the handbook about this. You should read info on the web page about installation in detail.

Login as root umask 027 (see note on that below) Install again Note: I use umask 027 because at home, since I am the only user, I have made myself member of all the major groups (bin, operator, etc....). This way I only give rights to the owner and groups. If you have many users on that system them and you want them to have acces then 022 may be more appropiate. I also don't recommend you set that umask permanently if you have many users on that system. I know it is a drag to have to umask before you install every package, but if this system is used by many people it would be a security risk to allow an umask of 022 (there may be files with passwords in them). --------------------- francisco@natserv.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 27 08:24:13 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA08605 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Sep 1998 08:24:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from coventry.ac.uk (mercury.coventry.ac.uk [193.61.107.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA08595 for ; Sun, 27 Sep 1998 08:24:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from justin@mascarpone.coventry.ac.uk) Received: from mascarpone.coventry.ac.uk (mascarpone.coventry.ac.uk [194.66.38.77]) by coventry.ac.uk (8.8.7/8.6.11) with SMTP id QAA08941 for <@mercury.coventry.ac.uk:questions@freebsd.org>; Sun, 27 Sep 1998 16:23:55 +0100 (BST) Received: (from justin@localhost) by mascarpone.coventry.ac.uk (950413.SGI.8.6.12/950213.SGI.AUTOCF) id QAA01529; Sun, 27 Sep 1998 16:23:30 +0100 Message-Id: <199809271523.QAA01529@mascarpone.coventry.ac.uk> Date: Sun, 27 Sep 98 16:23 +0100 From: Justin Murdock Subject: Re: !

As a point of information, my AMD K6-2 300 128MB system was horribly unstable with a 2.2.7 CD install. (page fault on first boot, 4-5 unrepeated errors during compiling a new kernel, distribution and package addition failing) The custom kernel seemed to cure it, but I've not done any serious testing as I'm waiting for a new network card, the existing one appears to be unsupported.

If you are refering to the "complete FreeBSD" as the "manual" be warned the thing is HUGE. If you were to print it, I think it takes over 1000 pages. I usually read it online or take a small subset cut/paste and print. I think the best thing to do, which I will do soon, is to get the book off walnut creek. Also don't forget to check the FAQ and Handbook. I think they are on the CDrom, but they are for sure at www.freebsd.org (and mirrors). --------------------- francisco@natserv.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 27 09:36:31 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA14610 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Sep 1998 09:36:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from freebie.peace.com.my (freebie.neuronet.com.my [202.184.153.29]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id JAA14602 for ; Sun, 27 Sep 1998 09:36:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from panda@peace.com.my) Received: (qmail 9165 invoked from network); 27 Sep 1998 16:23:28 -0000 Received: from squid.neuronet.com.my (HELO bimbo.models.com.my) (202.184.153.5) by freebie.neuronet.com.my with SMTP; 27 Sep 1998 16:23:28 -0000 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19980928002346.00e374bc@mail.peace.com.my> X-Sender: panda@mail.peace.com.my X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 00:23:46 +0800 To: "Don Clark" , From: chas Subject: Re: I am New to Free BSD ...

Leland Heaotn Jr. You'll want to use a program like 'fips' to resize your Win98 partition. If you Win98 partition is FAT32 then fips may not work, in which case you'll want to check out 'Partition Magic'. Be advised, 'fips' is freeware, and 'Partition Magic' is payware (it's only about $30.00) though. Or... you could just fdisk the drive and start over.

I am running 2.2.6-RELEASE and I am getting ready to go to STABLE, however ld.so complains about not being able to find the shared lib libXaw.so.6.1. That is another matter, but if anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it. I have ISDN and am using an older Impact IQ TA clone-look-alike made by QuickAccess Gateway, if the info on the front panel is accurate. Apparently 3COM acquired them once upon a time ago. I can get PPP to dial, connect, and route with no problems. Everything works very well, but, the connection seems to hang. It never drops cleanly, meaning the B1 channel light never goes out and I still have the 'PPP' when I run pppctl, so ppp still thinks it is connected. Routing, however, just seems to stop until I send a 'kill -INT' signal to ppp which causes the connection to drop and redial and then everything is happy. If it matters, I am not doing NAT. I have an address block of 16 IP's, but I am allowing PPP to grab and assign the addresses in ppp.conf, even though they are the same every time on both the server's side and mine. The FreeBSD box is serving as a gateway for a Win95 machine I have on the network. Now here is where it get really strange, to me. I can FTP all day. In fact, I did just that and transfered about 300Megs of files without a problem. I can also be connected via secure shell for hours at a time, doing mail and news. The only time it has "hung" so far is while I am "surfing the web" on the Win95 box. It just stops and if I let it sit there for about two minutes, the connection will automatically restart everything will again work. I dug through the ppp.log file and I saw a line referring to too many ECHO LQR packets lost at the time the connection was dropped and redialed. I do have Link Quality Reporting enabled and accepted in ppp.conf. Humm... anyone have any thoughts? Thanks a lot, -Richard.

Doh, I wasn't thinking very clearly. The natd requirement makes the obvious unworkable. One interface has to take care of both incoming and outgoing packets. You might be able to convince lo0 or your interior interface to handle this but I'm not sure how.

Are you using an internal or external modem? You have to settle with the type of UART provided on an internal modem. The internal U.S. Robotics V.90 Sportster I use has a 16550A UART. The problem could be caused by paging to a PIO IDE drive. Paging has a very high priority and PIO IDE uses lots of CPU cycles. I have a 486 that suffers interrupt-level and tty-level buffer overflows because of this. What type of CPU, motherboard, and harddrive are you using? As long as you are using the modem for something like PPP, SLIP, or ZModem, this error is annoying but not critical. It's annoying because time must be spent resending data but not critical because the error is virtually always detected. 45 silo overflows isn't much to worry about.

i use cu to do this (a FBSD term program).
you can rz & sz files back an forth from
the server, and use all the shell programs.

the only prob i had with popper was that with 2.2.7
(as of a month or two ago) i couldn't find it as a package.
i used my old 2.2.5 version.

I'm not sure, but the executable is in /usr/local/libexec, and is:

-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin  bin  45056 Oct 17  1997 popper

it came with the disks (2.2.5) in the Complete FreeBSD by Leahey.
Is this out of date now?

Jane.

Does anyone out there know of any Automounter 
"how to's" on the net?  Or is anyone out there
willing to help me set this thing up off list?  I
have the O'Reilly NIS/NFS book, but it's really
not that clear, and there is absolutely zero mention 
of the Automounter in my copy of the FreeBSD 
Handbook (although I will look to see if someone 
has updates it since I got it).  I have a "regular"
usage and an "odd" usage for it.  There is a single 
high-speed file server holding the user directories
under /usr/home.  On half a dozen machines, I just
need it to mount as /usr/home/whatever on demand.
But on one machine, we have our file space organized
by projects, so that each project has a group directory:

/projectA/
     project_directory
     user_a
     user_b
     user_c

/projectA/
     project_directory
     user_d
     user_a                   <--- note that users can appear on more 
than 1
     user_x                          project.  

I want their home directory to appear in whatever project they are
logged into.  Also, is there anything like a group password in
FreeBSD (yes, I know it is a Bad Idea...).

Thank you all!
Jane.

I just pasted this into a file and it looks just like your quoted text
above; using lynx 2.8.1dev.29 (20 Sep 1998).  What do you see on your
console, and what version of lynx are you using?

I believe pppd has IPX support.  You'll need to recompile your kernel
with "options IPX" also.

Freebsd Query

Hi when I installed Freebsd installed with a NIC card
When I installed it 3 months ago the NIC card was detected during the 
installation process.

I was wondering how I can setup freebsd so I can use the win95 PC to log 
onto the FREEBSD using telnet.

Please tell me how it is done.

Help Me :(

Subject: Can DHCP really be this simple ?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

I've got DHCP running but would appreciate it if someone could
pass an experienced eye over this configuration before I unleash
my Freebie box on 50 unsuspecting users tomorrow !

The FreeBSD box sits between the LAN and firewall as follows :
                 
LAN (50 PCs) <----> fxp1
                    fxp0 <----> Firewall <----> Internet
                    

The following startup scripts are appended to the end of /etc/rc.local :
# Start NATd on the external interface :
/usr/local/sbin/natd -interface fxp0
# Allow all packets through :
/sbin/ipfw -f flush 
/sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via fxp0
/sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any
# Start the DHCP server on the internal interface :
/usr/local/sbin/dhcpd fxp1


My /etc/dhcpd.conf file is based on the sample provided :
# dhcpd.conf
server-identifier proxy.ourdomain.com;   # the name of the proxy
option domain-name "ourdomain.com";      # our company's domain
option domain-name-servers ns.ourdomain.com;  # our dns server

shared-network NEURONET {
  option subnet-mask 255.0.0.0;
  default-lease-time 600;
  max-lease-time 7200;
  subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 {
    range 10.0.0.50 10.0.0.254;
    option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
    option routers 10.0.0.1;
  }
}

Basically, I just want IPs between 10.0.0.50 and 10.0.0.254 to be
allocated dynamically to PCs connecting on the LAN. The above  seems
to work but it was trial and error so I'm not that confident about 
what I've done.

Also, if I then want to run a server with fixed IP (eg. 202.184.153.17) 
on one of the IPs on the LAN not assigned dynamically (eg. 10.0.0.17),
where is this translation entered ?  

chas

ps. Since DHCP requires the bpfilter option in the kernel, should 
anything else be done to beef up security on this machine ? 
(I'm disabling telnet, ftp, sendmail etc. Plus it sits behind a firewall)

	I'm cc'ing the -questions list, where this kind of query 
	properly belongs.  The people on -questions have prob'ly 
	seen this one myriad times before.  Also where you are 
	likely to get help much more quickly than through me.

	There is no such thing as a stupid question, as far as I'm
	concerned; the stupid thing is not to ask help if  you are 
	stumped.

	That said, the following questions come to mind:  
	  
	  Have you checked the device directory to see if fd0...
	  exist?   Type:

	    % cd /dev
	    % ls -l fd0*

	  to see.  The floppy devices should be there; and yes, of
	  course they are in the kernel.   Type

	    % dmesg | more

	  to check your system configuration.

	  Assuming the /dev/fd0 and others are missing, you can
	  make the with the MAKEDEV script.  You've got to be root
	  and specify MAKEDEV specifically since /dev isn't in 
	  root's exec $path.

	  So try :

	    # cd /dev 
	    # ./MAKEDEV fd0



	And let us know what happens...  

	enjoy!

	gary

You may wish to read man mtree and look in /etc/mtree

It may be possible for mtree to reset these things for you, according
to "spec".

   It could be a bug with freeing a route too many times. It might also be
casued by a memory error.

Oracle 7.3.2 server and SQL*Net listener appears to be running ok, so I
am trying to run sqlplus client from win95.  After sending username and
password, it says:

ERROR: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-07429: smsgsg: shmget() failed to get segment.
AT&T System V/386 Error: 2: No such file or directory

What file is this error talking about??
>From a FreeBSD session, I am able to use sqlplus.

My kernel configuration file says:

options         SYSVSHM
options         SYSVSEM
options         SYSVMSG
options         "IBCS2"

options         "SHMMAX=(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1)"
options         SHMMAXPGS=10240
options         SHMMIN=10

options         SHMSEG=180
options         SEMMNI=20
options         SEMMNS=60


my /compat/ibcs2/dev    looks like:

total 2

(FAQ entry about this shows filenames with a "@", I am not sure why, so
I have created two versions of each file).

The shm test program from Oracle, shows:

Number of segments gotten by shmget() = 13
Number of segments attached by shmat() = 13
Segments attach at higher addresses
Maximum size segments are not attached contiguously!
  Segment separation = 2097152 bytes
Default shared memory address = 0x9001000
Lowest shared memory address  = 0x9001000
Highest shared memory address = 0xefa01000
Total shared memory range     = -423624704
Total shared memory attached  = 27262976
Largest single segment size   =  2097152
Segment boundaries (SHMLBA)   =  4194304 (0x400000)

Any ideas?  My FreeBSD version is 3.0-981006-SNAP.

Thanks in advance!

That's "The Complete FreeBSD" (only obnoxious text format).  That's a
book which costs money, which is why there's no PostScript.

Well, no, the man pages are missing on the text version, so it's
"only" about 800 pages.  But it's difficult to read.  Buy the book :-)

Exactly the intention.

I think that's what he's talking about.

The online handbook is on the second CD-ROM in the directory
/usr/share/doc/handbook, both in ASCII and HTML forms.

Well, it wasn't the "LEMIS" hack.  I just hosted it.

What version of FreeBSD are you using?  A large number of these
problems were fixed in 2.2.7.  The hack just worked around them.  If
you have one of these boards, and you're running an older version
(possibly with the hack I supplied), you should really upgrade.

You'll be interested to know that we were, in fact, approached by the
manufacturer of this particular chip (Acer) asking for cooperation in
chip development.  Things are looking up.

it's not EASY to explain these problems!!!
it's driving me crazy and makes me look like
a fool.  lynx does not necessarily screw up
ON the bad html, LYNX WREAKS HAVOC DOWN FARTHER
in a document.  does this make sense now?

for example,
------------------------------------------------------------
<TITLE> BAD HTML </TITLE>

GOOD HTML (lynx displays logically)
GOOD HTML (lynx displays logically)
GOOD HTML (lynx displays logically)

BAD HTML  (lynx may display this seemingky ok too)

GOOD HTML (lynx displays logically)
GOOD HTML (lynx displays logically)
GOOD HTML (lynx displays logically)

GOOD HTML (lynx wreaks havoc here because of BAD HTML above)
------------------------------------------------------------
now, if you take the example below, which DOES seemingly
display OK, add run it thru a validator (w3c 4.0 strict
for example), you get:

Error at line X:
	[...] <IMG SRC="g.gif" ALT="[G1]"> text1
                                          ^ document type does not
                                            allow element <IMG> here

believe me - i'm not crazy.  i wish lynx WOULD
screw up on the bad HTML, but it doesn't.  it
screws up your document on GOOD HTML, farther
down in a document.  this is creating hell for
me as i try to get my good ole lynx 2.7 and
netscape 3.04 web pages working with lynx 2.8
and netscape 3.04.  i can't believe no one
else has mentioned this hassle.  probably
not many web authours pay much attention
to detail, and/or care about lynx/netscape
viewability, and/or mix graphics/text
in neat and close arrangements ...

i'm not yet necessarily sure that the problems i'm
having are the result of the bad HTML.  it could be
that lynx chokes on certain combinations of
elements and tags.  this will take alot of work
to figure out since lynx appears indescriminate
on exactly where the crummy output will appear.

Have you tried ktrace?  It could be that the message isn't what you
think it is.

Put the following line in /etc/inetd.conf :

telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/libexec/telnetd    telnetd

Then restart inetd. 

I'm assuming you really have networked the FreeBSD box.

Hey, I am wondering about this because i am
very cash poor. But, when say 2.2.8 or 3.0 comes
out and i want a CD how hard would it be to make
one myself (i do have a CD-R) under both FreeBSD
(i run 2.2.6) and Win98.  I would like to create 
something like Walnut Creek CD-Rom ships that
is bootable via El-Torrito(i think).  And i know they
have a list of files they put on the CD's on their site
so i don't have a problem knowing what files go 
where.  Any help, or if you could point me in 
the direction of something that could be useful 
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Samuel Greear

	www.cheapbytes.com I bought the 2.2.6 set with the book, then 
bought 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 on single CDROMs so I can quick load my machines. 
All of the CDROMs they sell are bootable through the El-Torrito standard.

Hi folks,
	Just wondering if somebody could help me out with a little problem
i'm having here.  This is on a 2.2.7-Stable machine.  Everytime that I run
a top it shows this for my cpu usage.

CPU states:  0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle

Also all the processes running claim to be using no cpu when it is
apparent that they are. Even when running high CPU usage processes such as
the rc5des client. I recompiled the top source in /usr/src/usr.bin but it
didn't help any.  Also i tried cvsuping, remaking the world, and then
compiling a new kernel, yet still it has the same problem.  Any help would
be much appreciated, please cc any replies to me as I am not on this list,
thank you.

Do you mean 2.2-STABLE or 2.2.7-RELEASE?  If the former, you should
say when you supped it.

We've seen something like that recently.  If you *are* running
-STABLE, try resupping.

Hi folks,
This is a bit off topic, but I figure its worth a shot.

I'm trying to create a cgi script that will poll my ISPs com servers
and then create a webpage based on if I'm logged in or not.

I have it working for the most part, and if I run the script from the
command line I get exactly what I'm looking for, but that isn't the case
when I execute it from the web browser.

I am assuming it has to  do with my if statements.  I've tried it with 2
if statments and an if else statement, but I get the same results.  Can
there be if/else statements in cgi's? 

Anyhow, the script can be executed at www.weirdo.net/scripts/online.sh
And instead of posting the whole script to the list I'll only send it to
the people that request it. So, if you'd like to help and want to see the
script let me know and I'll gladly send it.

TIA,
Chris

cahs, Are you sure that was a good idea?  Haveing a net connection or
not, you will have the telnet line in your inetd.conf.  

Fluffy, did you setup an IP for your network card?  If so then you are
set.  If not, find out the driver id for your card (as is vx0 or ep0)
then edit your /etc/inetd.conf like so

ifconfig_ed0="inet 10.0.0.11    netmask 255.255.255.0"

Then make the win9x machine default gateway your FreeBSD machine.
Then you will be able to telnet to your FreeBSD machine by IP
number.  If you want DNS, you can look at the FreeBSD handbook on 
seting up a mini-DNS server.

Greetings,
   I have multiple os's on a single 8.4GB hdd.  The problem that I have run 
into is that I am able to access the dos partition (wd0s1) and the 
FreeBSD partition (wd0s2) is accessable of course.  The problem is that
all my other partitions reside in an extended partition (wd0s3).  

   I want to be able to access my Win95 partition (wd0s3 first logical 
partition) and my 2 linux partitions (wd0s3 logical drive 3 and 5) and once
I get it installed the Solaris pratition as well. (will be wd0s3 logical 6)_

   Is there any way that I can access the data in this extended partition?
If so... how.  

System information:
OS: FreeBSD 3.0-BETA (updated via cvsup this morning 9/27)
HDD: IBM 8.4GB

Anything more just ask please.  Thanks in advance

Mark

Partially.  But do you have an example?

Yeah, because according to the spec (3.2 and 4.0):

   PRE has the same content model as paragraphs, excluding images and
   elements that produce changes in font size, e.g. IMG, BIG, SMALL,
   SUB, SUP and FONT.

As I said before, none of the web browsers are HTML validators.  They
will do their best to display what you ask, but if you give them
unusual input, there's no guarantee that you'll get usable output.

What we sometimes do at work is have two pages, one for lynx, and one
for graphical browsers. This is easy with the Roxen webserver, where
you can do things like "<if supports=tables>tables!</if> 
<else>no tables</else>", and depending on the user-agent, will return
either the <if> container or the <else> container. Take a look at
http://www.emsphone.com/Al to see this in action.  The set of links in
the center is rendered with tables or <pre> tags, depending on the
browser.

You might want to ask the lynx authors about this.  Give them a
reference to your html source, and ask them what the correct way to do
what you want is.

I am trying to do the same.  I don't have much info and have not been
able to test this (since I am without CDR), but here's what little
information I do have (anyone - feel free to let me know where I need
more, should be doing something else, etc.):


Make sure that you have the vn driver configured into your kernel.

Then, make a SNAP/RELEASE of what you want to make a CD with by CVSUP'ing 
a source tree with 'cvsup -g supfile'.  To keep all the sources in
/usr/home/2.2.8-SNA-cvs, the cvsup info in
/usr/home/2.2.8-SNAP-cvsinfo, your supfile should have:

  *default prefix=/usr/home/2.2.8-SNAP-cvs
  *default base=/usr/home/2.2.8-SNAP-cvsinfo
  *default release=cvs (if you want -STABLE, use tag=RELENG_2_2
                        afterwards)
   src-all
   src-eBones
   src-secure
   ports-all (I have a tag=. in mine, don't know if it's necessary)
   www
   doc-all


Then, do the following to build the release in /usr/home/2.2.8-SNAP:
  setenv CVSROOT /usr/home/2.2.8-SNAP-cvs
  cd /usr/src/release
  make release BUILDNAME=2.2.8-MY-SNAP CHROOTDIR=/usr/home/2.2.8-SNAP


Now you need to make an ISO image.  There is an example script in
/usr/share/examples/worm called makecdfs.sh.  To have the CD bootable,
start the script with a -b option.  For example, to make an ISO image
called 2.2.8-CD.image with the name FreeBSD-2.2.8 in /usr/home, with
everything stored in the directory structure /usr/home/2.2.8-SNAP, and a
copyright string of TestCD

   makecdfs -b FreeBSD-2.2.8 /usr/home/2.2.8-SNAP /usr/home/2.2.8-CD.image \
   "TestCD"

(note that the above is all on one line).


This ISO image can be used under FreeBSD using the burncd.sh script (in
the /usr/share/examples/worm directory), or under a greater portion of
Windows CDR utilties.  The burncd.sh script is tailored to the HP 4020i,
and other CDR's may supposedly require other setups (read the script and 
the man page on wormcontrol(1) to find out what to do for any other CDR).
Since HP bought back my 4020i's (I had three of them die on me in two
months), and since I sold my Yamaha CDR over a year ago, I can't test this
to see if it really works.  If you have any luck, *please* let me know.
I'd be very interested - and probably running to the wholesaler to buy
another Yamaha CDR  :)

Again, I have absolutely *no* idea whether this works or not, and how
much of this information is accurate. The information I do have is from
the FAQ (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ230.html) and some helpful users
here on the list.

Oh, and of course: I can't be responsible for damage to your system, blah,
blah, blah  :)  Good luck, and let me know how it goes. . .

1.  when i try to telnet to another host often times i am disconnected
because i have the wrong terminal type (cons25).  how do i change the
terminal type under freebsd?

2.  i have two computers.  one runs freebsd and the other windows.  i have
10 base-t eithernet cards in both and they are both connected to a hub.
the hub is connected to my local network via an upload link on the hub.  i
have been assigned only one ip address by the network administrator.  is
it possible to assign the freebsd machine that address and have it be a
gateway/router to my windows machine?  so that i will be able to access
the network and the internet on both machines?  how could i do this or
something simular?

please send any information or tips you may have.  thank you for your
time.

Hello.
	My name is Senee Patimasup, living in Thailand. I'm very new to FreeBSD
(i've just installed it for the first time yesterday). The installation was
easy and smooth (thanks for this). Anyway, i got a problem which i couldn't
solve it myself, so i will be very appreciated if you  kindly help me.

	I have 3 harddrives in my computer with 'System Commander' program to
switch between OSes. I installed FreeBSD into the primiry slave harddrive.
The installation was successful and i was successfully logged into FreeBSD
environment. The problem is that 'everytime i shutdown FreeBSD and restart,
my primary master partition will set into INACTIVE one and i cannot boot
the machine. To make the partition active again, I have to set it with
fdisk everytime which is quite tedious.

	Note that i've tried all installation choice to handle MBR... I've tested
'Booteasy', 'General', and 'None' but all bring the same result. (cannot
bootup after shutdown FreeBSD).

	Do you have any clue or suggestion for the problem?

Best Regards,

Senee Patimasup

For the basics, take a look at the chapters about printing in the
handbook. You should set up an input filter which uses `smbclient' to send
the print job to the W95 box; `smbclient' is supplied by the Samba
package. The man page describing `smbclient' will give you further aid.

hi, recently i got rid of an old HDD and replaced it with a Maxtor 4.3G
IDE one. After installing windows95 (<sigh>) without a hitch i went on
to trya and install FreeBSD.

After running into some problems intially with FreeBSD unable to find
the primary DOS partition i discovered i had to remove the software
translation (EZ-DRIVE supplied with the Maxtor) to be able to install of
the DOS partition. After doing this installation goes on normally.

It is when i leave installation and try and reboot FreeBSD i encounter
futher problems. BootEasy won't boot DOS (i didnt expect it to without
s/w translation), but FreeBSD won't boot either and just hangs. I
checked the FAQ and it metnions tweaking the BIOS HDD settings but as
both FreeBSD and BIOS return the following geometry:

8940 Cylinders 15 Heads 63 Sectors

I don't think this will be the problem. I tried installing OSBS but it
gives a Write Error (probably because of the s/w trnaslation) also to
make things even more difficult FDISK hangs when i try and use it.

If i try and boot FreeBSD with "wd(1,a)/kernel" at the boot: prompt i
get the err msg:

Error: D:0x81 C:0 H:0 S:0

Scrolling continuously.. I only have one IDE drive on my system with
FreeBSD being installed in the Second partition so i assume thats the
right boot prompt..

Has anyone been able to install FreeBSD on similar setups? Maxtors
aren't exactly uncommon so someone must have some idea. Also if i DO get
FreeBSD installed, how will i boot DOS? i think i'll just have to
reinstall EZ-DRIVE and boot FreeBSD from a floppy all the time (not too
bad..) Im trying to install 2.2.7R btw

Regards,
fae

Well, after some offlist conversations I have a red face.
tcpd from the package (8192 bytes) works OK if you have the
hosts.allow and hosts.deny in /usr/local/etc  ;-)
While this does not seem the "correct" place for these
files, that is where they are expected to be. The man page
says so as well :-(
I actually symlinked /etc/hosts.allow and .deny to 
/usr/local/etc/hosts.allow and .deny.

somethings like "error 544: mx point back to ns1.test.com. unknown
host "test.com".but,if I send to addr. user@hostname.domainname.
everything become fine. this is my /etc/namedb/db.test.com file,
( BIND ver 4.9.6 in freebsd 2.2.5)

@   IN SOA ns1.test.com. billy.ns1.test.com. (

why can't domainname server unknown host in addr "user@test.com"
and is "OK" when also use the dns server with hostname
"user@ns1.test.com" ?Please give me some advise. how to make
the "usr@domainname" work if I can only have one machines to take
this two jobs.
by the way, is not yet connect to internet, is it also a problem?

Hi,

Others have already answered most of your questions, so let me just add:

I think there might be a FreeBSD binary for the RealVideo server - check
their site.

Best place to get an idea of the humongous amount of apps available:

... and that's just the beginning.  :-)

Manually, I'm afraid.

- Check that /etc/group on the new box contains the same entries as on the
  old one.  Copy it from the old to the new if necessary.
- Run vipw on the old box, and copy all the lines pertaining to the 5 users
  to a separate file.  On the new box, run vipw and yank in these lines.
  That should create the users with the same UIDs and other parameters.
- tar up the users' home directories and transfer them across.
- Remember the mailboxes!
- You might want to do a find through the entire filesystem for files
  belonging to these users.  You can "feed" the result of this find to tar as
  well.
- ... and I probably forgot some things as well.

Hi

i would like to make my freebsd to be a router, using 2 nics(3c509), it
did recognise the 2 nic, but i don't know how to configure them, using
/stand/sysinstall i can only see ep0. can anyone tell me how to
configure the ip for the second nic?(i have already configured the ip
for the first nic)

is it the correct way to have 2 default gateways by editing
defaultrouter="10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2" in /etc/rc.conf?

regards,

fook sheng

Not being au fait with the intricacies of SMB, I can only offer a "shotgun
debugging" tip:

Add a line at the end of your ipfw ruleset to log everything that's not been
explicitly allowed or denied up to that point:
  $fwcmd add deny log ip from any to any

Then play with SMB under various circumstances, and see what packets are
denied (and logged to the console).

I'm afraid, though, that from what little I know, you are going to need some
fairly permissive rules.  :-(

Every person you ask will have a different opinion as to which drives are
good and which aren't.  :-)

FWIW, I've had quite a few problems with the larger capacity (4GB upwards) WD
drives over the past year or so.  Might just have been a run of bad luck.

Unfortunately, I'm only aware of commercial applications which do UNIX/NT
password synchronisation.  See, for example, http://www.syntunix.com/

Read the man page for du(1).

Example:  To get the sizes of all subdirectories of the current directory,
sorted with the biggest first:

No, but if you pay me I'll write you one.  ;-)

Seriously, though:  What sort of front-end are you looking at?  The sort of
thing you're describing works particularly well with a Web-based front-end.
I'd advise you to look at the PHP scripting language (http://www.php.net/).
PHP makes it quite easy to write a Web-frontended application which uses,
say, Postgres or MySQL as back-end.

	I don't think there is an official one.  However out of the 
options that I've looked at webmin seems the best so far.  Check out :
http://www.webmin.com/webmin/

for more info.  There was also another one called FreeEasy, but last time 
I emailed the authors it sounded like they were going to retire it and 
recommend webmin instead.

I've had it running a couple of times and only lightly tested it thus.  
It's not perfect for the things that I'd like to use it for, but out of 
all the options so far this one gets my vote.

It's all Perl, so you'll need to have that installed.  This causes some 
bloat on the memory side of things ( compared to something in all C ).  
But nothing too exciting.  Try it out, it may be what you looking for ( 
or it may not :-)  Also it's free.

/stand/sysinstall was never intended to be the complete system
administration utility.  The one you need for setting up Ethernet
boards is ifconfig.  Try this:

# ifconfig -a
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ep0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.109.197.160 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.109.197.255
        ether 00:a0:24:37:0c:bd 
ep1: flags=8800<SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8150<POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,PROMISC,MULTICAST> mtu 1518
        inet 192.109.197.137 --> 192.109.197.211 netmask 0xffffff00 
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 139.130.136.133 --> 139.130.136.129 netmask 0xffff0000 
ppp1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 

Here you see that ep1 has not been configured.  You can configure it
with, say, 

  # ifconfig ep1 <IP address>

See the man page for other parameters.  These are what you put in the
variables ifconfig_ep0 and ifconfig_ep1 in /etc/rc.conf.  For example,
I have the following (because I keep changing boards):

# Choose one
ifconfig_ep0="inet 192.109.197.137 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.109.197.137 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_ed2="inet 192.109.197.137 netmask 255.255.255.0"

> is it the correct way to have 2 default gateways by editing
> defaultrouter="10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2" in /etc/rc.conf?

No.  There is no correct way to have two default gateways.  In
addition, 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 are non-routable addresses.  If you
really do have two connections to the net, you're going to have to
think carefully about what traffic you want to go over what gateway.

Ok, this is my stab in the dark.  But this is what I would do:

1.  Keep your SOA as is
2.  Remove the MX entry for ns1.test.com, it is setup as IN NS
3.  Add a MX entry for sbirdy:
	MX 10 sbirdy

You should be fine then.

Comments anyone?

Hi!

A small questions regarding NIS:

Do I really need to put the master server in the file ypserver. From
reading the man pages, I believe that only yppush uses this file, and
uses it when pushing maps to slave servers. Since adding a slave, I get
this message every time I do a make in /var/yp:

Updating group.byname...
yppush: transfer of map group.byname to server master.partitur.se failed
yppush: status returned by ypxfr: Master's version not newer

'master.partitur.se' is the master server, and the master is itself a
client (i.e. the password file is in /var/yp and access is limited using
netgroups). 

This is FreeBSD 2.2.7. 

Probably I'm wrong ;-) There should be other users for this file; it's
also a NIS map. But then maybe the Makefile is not correct?

Thanks for your input!

Does your machine support Heads settings of 64 or 255? It really is the
BIOS that matters. Put that overlay *back* on and back-up windows.
Anything you do from here out will remove windows. Check to see if your
BIOS supports drives larger than 528 MB. IF not, you'll need the overlay
to run windows. Sadly, this is one of the few setup that is not freebsd
compliant. Unless you put the old HDD in with FreeBSD and BootEasy on
it, I don't think you are going to be able to run both. Sorry. I've
tried to get around these problems with a Packard Bell with a 1G primary
IDE and a 4.3G Maxtor secondary. PB's BIOS required the MaxDrive
overlay, and alas, couldn't run FreeBSD. But it installed so
beautifully... !

I couldn't pin-down 3Com to it, but is the 3C509 a bus-master card? It
seems to have the same requirements as a NE2100: I/O address, IRQ, and
no memory... Can anyone confirm this?

sorry Stefan, could you expand on why this would be a bad idea ?
isn't it standard FreeBSD to have the telnetd in /etc/inetd.conf ?
other than adding tcpd, why wouldn't you do it like this ?
a little confused.

Cheapbytes sells the CDROMS for less than Walnut Creek.  Does FreeBSD 
receive anything from Walnut Creek?

I'm looking for incentive to buy from WC instead of CB.

I have been looking into purchasing a copy of "Partician Magic" for the purpose 
of creating a Multi-boot system with FreeBSD 2.2.7 and winnt server 4.0.
I have heard that it is a very reliable software and will partician + support 
the dual booting of both FreeBSD and nt.

I am  looking for a product that will handle the ntfs without disturbing my 
FreeBSD slice.

If there are any of that have attempted this successfully, please share your 
successes and/or recommendations.


Thank you,

Hmm, yes my Acer BIOS can't support the large HDD so it does require the
overlay if i want to run windows as well.. Argh! We tease me with a
perfect install?!

If you are making a cgi script, you'll have to make the script produce
HTTP headers, notably

Content-Type: text/plain

or

Content-Type: text/html

depending on what your script produces.

Send a copy to me, please. You could probably get away with sending it
to the list if it's less than about 5k, I doubt anyone would mind
something of that size.

How come the searchable mailing list archives have no new messages ?

http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists

I was trying to see how feasible it is to unsubscribe from the lists
but still run -CURRENT.

So I want to be able to search and browse up to the minute (or
at least 1/2 day :) mailing list archives for freebsd-current and
cvs-all.

Is there a web page somewhere where I can do this ?

The browse functionality is most important.

Ideally I'd like to be able to connect to the list with an IMAP
mail client and browse folders of say 200 messages at a time.

Anyone willing to set up such a server ?

You'd have to be able to present the lists in a read-only manner so
we cant copy between folders etc.

I have a couple of questions as to the suitability of FreeBSD as an email
server in a NFS/NIS environment.

I wish to setup FreeBSD to handle email and a few other tasks.  We have
a mixed environment of Sun, AIX, HP-UX, SINIX, etc. and I would like to be
sure that if I:
	1) Put /var/mail on a (Sun?) server (also running NIS).
	2) Mount it to all the Unix W/S.
	3) Mount it on the FreeBSD machine.
	4) Run POP, IMAP and sendmail on the FreeBSD machine.
Will:
	a) NIS work correctly?
	b) Mailbox locking work correctly?

As I understand it, NIS does not quite work correctly between FreeBSD
and non-FreeBSD (especially with shadowed passwords?)

Also, FreeBSD does not support NFS file locking.  How can the mailbox
locking work correctly?  Do all Unix implementations use the same
mailbox locking methods?  I know some Unix systems expect /var/mail to
be publicly writable or group writable, others do not.  Must the
FreeBSD system have root access to /var/mail?  Must all the others?

How about quotas?  Some people accumulate huge amounts of email and
do not delete it.  Can I cap it with quotas on /var/mail?  Does FreeBSD
understand quotas over NFS?  What will sendmail do when the mailbox
exceeds quota?

Hi, be patient! I'm totally novice to these arguments; I'm using DOS and
Windows from 6 years and now I'm looking to see if there's something
better around. I've red your "Installing FreeBSD" on th URL
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html
and it's all clear but .... the first link "Obtaining FreeBSD" brings to
FTP sites and another click to ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD.
Another click brings me to a page intitled "Current directory is
/pub/FreeBSD" with a great amount of directories:for an ignorant like
I'm, it's impossible to understand what I need to download to have a
minimun installation which make me understand if this new OS can be for
me or not. I hope that also a novice can have an help to sail in this
mare magnum. I thank you in advance for your kind answer. (Pardon my bad
English: I'm Italian)

It shouldn't be an issue. The external dsl modem is actually a router with
ethernet on one side. It can be configured to bridge or route. 

If it bridges, you just need dhcp to get an address from a central host.

If it acts as a router (with newer software) you can either use DHCP or
I think it just does address translation and routes anything in the 10
network. At least, that's what I gleem from the people handling it here.

It's all acedemic to me, I'll 5 miles from the CO.

[	I posted to my original question to the mailing list 
last weekend. It was related to not being able to install
2.2.7 propery on my HP Vectra P133/32MB/2GB system. After
apparently successfully installing onto the HD and rebooting,
I was unable to boot the kernel. Some folks blamed the problem
on a glitch in some FreeBSD installs which require a cold boot
after install, while others thought that I was merely not 
booting from the correct device. The latter was closer, but
still not exactly the fix I needed. I hope that this explanation
helps anyone else out there who might be having the same installation
woes as I did. I was quite frustrating for a while. ]

	Well, after about 4-5 additional hours of fiddling,
I figured-out what was wrong with my installation. It turns-out
that FreeBSD (incorrectly sometimes) assumes that your CDROM
is wd1 and your primary HD is wd0. It seems to me that this
assumption should be noted somewhere in the manual! Basically,
if you reverse these two (as I had done), then all hell breaks 
loose. Firstly, FreeBSD's installer does not correctly determine 
the drive's geometry, therefore installing the whole mess in the 
wrong areas on the disk. This is noted as a potential problem
in the manual as the boot loader printing "F? FreeBSD" during
booting. If one continues here you will get the error of 
'Error: 0x08 h:0 c:0 s:0'. 

	After I realized that had happened, I swapped the ids 
of the devices and rebooted. This time it found the kernel,
but crapped-out because all of the mount points were assumed
to be on wd1 due to the installation. Not being able to find 
the section on creating devices, and being worried about not 
creating them correctly in the first place, I reinstalled. This 
time viola! It all worked. XFree86 even came up with my mouse 
on the first try. After playing a bit and customizing the
kernel and package installations, my machine is running very 
well.

   Yes, WC CDROM supports the FreeBSD project in many ways, both directly and
indirectly. Cheapbytes is too cheap to do that.

>I'm looking for incentive to buy from WC instead of CB.

   Perhaps the biggest incentive would be that Cheapbytes' single CDROM is far
inferior to the 4 CDROM set that you get from WC CDROM.

Subject: configured irq no in bitmap of probed irqs
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

I get:

 "sio2: configured irq 10 no in bitmap of probed irqs 0"

when I try to configure a 56K modem to avoid conflict with
a Soundblaster.

What does this mean??
Why does 'probe' try to be smart about what irq's I can use?
(I've mapped my devices, I know how to aviod confilcts!)

Also:
What does the 'number of eisa slots to probe' configuration do?
What are all these PnP BIOS settings?
Where can I find out about PnP - not how 'add on cards' are designed
but how to manage PnP with all these BIOS settings!  

I'm really starting to hate PnP.  It reminds me of Micro$oft: 
It always seems to come to: "Sorry, cant get there from here!"

Thanks

Frustrated

Hello All,

There were a lot of entries in the mail archive but none of them did this
justice, there was nothing definitive.

I am running FreeBSD 2.2.6 on a Pentium II 400, 128MB RAM with Adaptec
2940UW and a 9GB drive. The somaxconn=512 and the apache 1.3.2 is set to
MaxClients 490.

The thing has no errors to anywhere except on the console just before it
reboots with the Fatal error.

I have:

	1. Migrated everything to a new machine (P166, 64MB RAM). Still got the
reboots.
	2. Upgraded the OS, to 2.2.7-STABLE, still got the reboots and the Fatal
error.
	3. Changed the RAM. Still got 'em.

My client is asking to go to Red Hat Linux instead, is there no solving
this???

Thank you,
Randy Katz

Can you still run FreeBSD off of the old HD? You wouldn't be able to
mount the Windows drive under FreeBSD, but it would give you *something*
to play with. It's not good to install on a overlaid disk. The overlay
changes the BIOS block requests on the fly, thus FreeBSD wouldn't work.
FreeBSD uses 32-bit addressing, or absolute access, not limited by the
BIOS. If FreeBSD was you're only OS, you could use the 4.3G without BIOS
support. That is, unless it has the same problems that Packard Bell did,
in which case it's better of building another machine. The PB actually
*stopped* detecting the drive. Appearantly, Maxtor knew just how to get
around this, but the Overlay only works for DOS/Windows. Sorry...

You mean besides the fact that you get four CDs with WC versus one CD
with CB. I'm no spokesman for WC (ask Jordan for that :)) but I like the
product. Shipping will probably be higher for NZ, but that includes the
installation CD (1), a live filesystem (in case you really botch up and
need the executables) (2), a CVS repository (on it's own disc) (3), and
some docs and extra utilities (4). Disc 4 also has the non-restricted
ports distfiles, as well as the /usr/ports dir. 

>From CB's description page: Note: Due to the size of FreeBSD 2.2.7,
various non-critical package files have been removed in order to produce
a single CD.

Take with a grain of salt.

Hi,

I have searched the mailing list archives but have not found a definitive
answer for this question.

I would like to do NAT with a freebsd box. The box is a spare 486 dx2/50
with 40 MB that I have laying around.
What I would like to know is: Between natd and ipfilter, which is faster,
has lower memory footprint , and uses the least amount of cpu?
This is important to me because I also plan on running a small webserver on
the same box and a small ( 1 host ) domain on the box.

Thanks,
C.P.

	Yup. The simple fact that you get all of the ports on
2 of those CDs is well-worth it. Having to download all of
the ports from the net is a pain in the you know what.  Having
them at your finger tips is a great boost for productivity.

If you are moving users to another machine, you will want to be very
careful that none of the five users' UIDs match those of any users already
existing on the new machine.  I'm sure that might be an obvious concern,
but I thought I'd mention it just to be sure..  :-)

You can probably get eGroups (ex Findmail) to take in more lists.

Hi guys... one of the auction sites has a steal on ibm pc server 325's
and we are needing to upgrade several web servers...
however, we need to make sure we can use freebsd with them...

They have an on board adaptec 7880, which is supported from what I have
read,
but I am unsure of the darn PCI 10/100 ethernet card which is onboard...

anyone using freebsd and a pc server 325?

HELP :)    Please reply asap if not sooner (grin).  The boss wants to save
some bucks and I'm the one thats got to provide the answers.....

Hello
I have just completed an installation of sendmail 8.9.1 because I have a
spammer
using my mail server. It now prevents relaying like it is suppose to but I
can only send email to and from the domain of the mail server , for example 
tha mail server is mail.abc.com I can only send emails to anyone at abc.com .
I have used m4 to generate a new sendmail.cf (just the generic-bsd-4-4.m4)
I have added domains to relay-domains in /etc/mail and restarted the mail
server but 
still cannot send emails. Any help on this matter would be appreciate
before this person crahes my mail server again

Thank you

Hi,
I have a couple of PCI network cards with the Realtek 8029 chip.
(a no-name and a Genuis)

Both these cards give 1000k / sec on all of my FreeBSD machines except
my new one.

My new PII400 (BX chipset) gives just 200k / second on our lab network.
Perfect test conditions - no other network traffic.
New PC has 128 Megs of RAM, tried both AGP and PCI video card and runs
SNAP1998-0804.

Any ideas what is going on?

bye

Because it is already there.  Adding another entry for telnet
will not make any diffrence to the person asking for help.

The only way I can see this zone file working is if your named.boot
has the primary line set like

    primary ns1.test.com db.test.com

If this is the case then change the primary line to

    primary test.com db.test.com

and add to your zone file

    ns1    IN A 202.82.3.197

You mean things like paying Jordan to work on FreeBSD (and Mike Smith
too?)  They really work for WC but their duties seem pretty FreeBSD
centric.  Plus ftp.freebsd.org, http.freebsd.org and probably some
of the development machines.  And the net connection, mailing lists ...

I started buying the CD's (from Walnut Creek) more out of guilt than 
need :)

Hello,  

	What I want, eventually, is to be able to have 8 serial ports
on two different computers and be able to communicate between all of
them at the same time.  That is what I was told to do, but I have no
idea where it is going.  I started out with only one computer that had
a Boca ioAT66 card in it.  After I compiled a new kernel that recognized
the
card and created the appropriate /dev/ttyd? and /dev/cuaa? devices, I
made a straight through cable that did in fact let me use all the ports
on that card to talk to an external modem.  So based on this, I am
pretty sure that the card is installed properly.  After that, I edited
the /etc/ttys file and added the line under serial devices "ttyd5
"/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on insecure".  After I edited the
file, I restarted /sbin/init and did a ps x to verify that the /ttyd5
port was ready for queries.  Then I made another straight through cable
and verified that that one worked as well and connected the ports cuaa4
and cuaa5 together through those straight through cables and a null
modem cable.  The way everything looks, I should be able to connect to
the cuaa4 port and get a login prompt, but that doesn't happen.  All
that does happen is that the computer tells me I'm connected.  Whan I
type anything, nothing happens.  I thought about the getty on both
computers, but I don't think thats it.  The getty is running only on
port ttyd5 and not on any of the other serial ports.  From what I
gather, the /etc/gettytab file should not have to be changed.  There is
a page in the online handbook that talks about troubleshooting the
connection and I am sure that I have everything correct except for the
parity.  In the /etc/gettytab file, the lines that read "std" default to
no parity.  However, I can't find if cu uses parity or not, if it does,
the man page doesn't tell you how to change it.  I have tried using
different cables with no difference in output.  I either use the same
null modem cable that I have used a thousand times before (known good
cable) or a known-good lap-link cable.  Thank you for any help you can
offer.  

Michael

After a recent build world to 2.2.7-STABLE,
got latest mail/popper port and attempted to compile
First had problems with libtcl75.so.1,1 and tcl.h, removed these files
and installed ports/lang/tcl81
then tried to make popper again, now have the following error
 Configuring for qpopper-2.53

Hackers have been attempting to exploit the holes in qpopper 2.3, so I
do need
to upgrade.

I'm a little confused about dumpon&savecore.  I've read the manpages
about these two, and I've looked at the /etc/rc and /etc/rc.conf
stuff relating to them.  I understand the concept of saving the dump
in the swap partition and copying it out on reboot, but the timing
has me puzzled.  e.g. the 'swapon -a' is at the beginning of /etc/rc,
whereas the 'savecore /var/crash' is towards the end of /etc/rc.  If
you enable swapping to the swap partition earlier, what keeps the dump
from being overwritten before savecore can run?  What am I missing?

Hi all!

i already posted this in the news but with no answer :(

I have a litle question , i hope you can help me out...:)

i have a T1 line for the internet via one cisco router,(as5200) and a
FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE box with 1 ethernet card.
The server its a dns machine, ftp machine, mail ,etc,etc,etc,
im trying to setup the server to act as a firewall to protect the inside

network 167.114.17.
and also the server itself., so i need a second nic.

The fisrt nic have the ip 167.114.28.234 with netmask 255.255.255.192
The seond nic will have the ip 167.114.17.101 with netmask
255.255.255.224


My cisco have to gateways, one its for the modem's access (isp) and the
gateway is 167.114.28.193,also
the first ip 167.114.28.234 use this gateway for its internet
connection.
The second gateway on the cisco its 167.114.17.97 for LAN connection.

in my rc.conf i have

ifconfig_vx0="inet 167.114.28.234  netmask 255.255.255.192"
defaultrouter="167.114.28.193"
gateway_enable="YES"
router_enable="YES"

i think i have to write another line on the rc.conf to especify the ip
167.114.17.101 to the second nic

but which routes do i  need in the server so the LAN  can see the
167.114.17.101 ethernet card
for firewall purposes?

according to the (German) READEME.49 it uses Linux kernel threads, i.e.
libpthread.so.0. Hard to say what effect this would have on its runability
under the linuxulator.

I'd say the odds are pretty long.

Sounds like the remote ppp is dying.  You could *try* disabling tcp 
extensions in /etc/rc.conf, but I suspect it won't help.

Another possibility (but don't hold your breath) is if you tried 
disabling vj compression (``disable vj'' & ``deny vj'').  This is 
even more of an outside chance than disabling tcp extensions.

I suspect you'll have to hastle your ISP into enabling logging for 
your connections 'till it happens again - they may then be able to 
tell you why their side evaporated :-/

No.

Ppp won't see the incoming packets and therefore won't be able to do 
anything with them :-I

Natd is the right way to go.  I would have thought it works - what does 
your setup look like ?  Are you using ``ipfw ... divert ...'' on both 
interfaces, diverting both to the same natd, and have you got the 
same IP number assigned to both interfaces ?

The problem here as I see it is not if natd will work, but if the 
machine will be able to handle things properly.  I would have thought 
the show-stopper would happen when the machine tried to create a 
temporary route to the target machine based on the interface that an 
incoming packet from that machine arrived on....

www.dejanews.com has newsified versions of the relevant freebsd
lists that are relatively "real time".

The lists on www.freebsd.org are only updated weekly because the
indexing software currently used is as festering pit of bugs and
one of the many broken features is incremental updating of
indexes.

A few people have mentioned that CB sells a single CD instead of the 4 
which WC sells.  What I've seen is that CB does sell a cut-down version 
but it also sells "FreeBSD 2.2.7 from Walnut Creek".  The graphics depicts
2.2.6, but it appears to be the genuine product.

HI
I havent installed FreeBSD just yet but i REALLY want to. I want freeBSD
for me + windows95 on my computer for my family. When ever I use
FIPS.EXE to free up space
for freeBSD i cant get back into to windows at all. It gives me this
message--
  "While initailizing Device VFBACKUP
   VFBACKUP could not load VFD.VXD"
  Do you have anyclue what this is? I tried to get help from the freeBSD
IRC lines
but I barely get any help or they weren't there or whatever so I turn to
you.
  I hope this gives you enough info to help solve whatever the problem
is.
  Thankyou
  Tony

I see this one has gone undiscussed for a few days. I know this guy on
the list who is really good at answering all kinds of questions about
FreeBSD.

His name is Doug White. You might try talking to him to see if he can
help. :)

I'm trying to install 2.2.7 on my new system.  The NIC is a 3COM
3C590B-TX Fast Etherlink XL 10/100 BTX PCI card.  I can't get the
install disk to see the NIC.

	I tried going into the kernel config menu and deactivating all the NICs
I wasn't using.  Then, I deactivated everything that I wasn't using. 
FreeBSD still can't see the card.

	The web site says 3COM 3C590x cards are supported.

	Any ideas?

(please forgive me is this is seen twice.  when I sent it originally,
I was not subscribed, and did so quickly, but I don't know if the
mailing list SW rejects mail from non-members.  anyway...)


I'm a little confused about dumpon&savecore.  I've read the manpages
about these two, and I've looked at the /etc/rc and /etc/rc.conf
stuff relating to them.  I understand the concept of saving the dump
in the swap partition and copying it out on reboot, but the timing
has me puzzled.  e.g. the 'swapon -a' is at the beginning of /etc/rc,
whereas the 'savecore /var/crash' is towards the end of /etc/rc.  If
you enable swapping to the swap partition earlier, what keeps the dump
from being overwritten before savecore can run?  What am I missing?

i'm just wondering where the appropriate place to look for commentary on the
-BETA stuff.

-current sounds awfully busy to me, and not necessarily relative to the
testing of -BETA.

i'm trying to make use of (ie. beta test) 3.0-19980925-BETA, and notice that
the /usr/libexec/elf/ld doesn't seem to like -lsomelib for some reason.

where should i look to see if other people are working on it, or if i should
do some hacking?

	I don't have a "real" answer as to why this is happening, but I do have
a suggestion. Have you tried using 'reboot' instead of 'shutdown'?  I'm
not sure that will solve your problem, but it's worth a shot.

Good luck,

	Gotta love those man pages. :) But seriously folks, /usr/local IS the
home for all of the "after market" software on a FreeBSD system, and
less universally, on most other BSD's as well. On Sys5 you'd look in
/opt/local (usually) for the same kind of stuff. 

> I actually symlinked /etc/hosts.allow and .deny to

	I usually do that too, depending on the level of clue the other people
using the system have. :)  Another thing I do is to symlink
/usr/local/etc/ to /etc/local/. This gives me a little less to type, and
lets me back up all that stuff at the same time without having to think
about it. :)

Keep reading those man pages, 

Doug

	I end up usually buying both products. As far as I can tell, the
Cheapbytes CDROMS are essentially the first of the Walnut Creek CDROMs.
They boot the same, they load and look the same. I've been buying the
Cheapbyte cdroms and loaning them out or giving them away to my Windows
using friends, works great for that... :) I don't want to lose the Walnut
Creek ones.

Set router_enable to
router_enable="NO"

The ifconfig's will set up the needed routes.

You will need to tell the Cisco that it can reach 167.114.17.96/27
via 167.114.28.234

ip route 167.114.17.96 255.255.255.240 167.114.28.234

Work is in progess to amend the Linuxulator as necessary to get this to
work properly.  Keep an eye out for details -- when we get this working,
it'll be a major feat for the Project.

in spite of my rather negative reply, I'm planning to give it a try as soon
as I can grab the 58 MB file at work (at ~ 1.5 kB/sec I'm _not_ going to
do this at home, way too expensive here in Germany). I'll report to the
list.

You may need to install BootEasy on the first disk manually.  Sysinstall
has a habit of putting it on the wrong disk.

Swap the FreeBSD and the storage disk.  Your BIOS can'tboot the FreeBSD
volume; it can only see the first two disks.

No RELEASE supports the 2940U2 (aka AIC-789X) series controllers, however
they are supported by the new CAM layer in the coming 3.0.  Patches are
available for 2.2-STABLE at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam.

The fact that no TokenRing cards are currently supported by FreeBSD is a

Your CDROM drive is not being cooperative.  Check the boot messages for
the IDE CD and make sure it's being found.

You download lots of files, and they're split tar archives.  See

Take the loss in hand and try something else.  Popper has *known* and

The 905B requires the xl driver in -STABLE and -CURRENT.  The xl driver
isn't available in any release (yet).

This is a SysCommander-ism.  I believe there is an option in the ALT-F10
config menu to disable this behavior.

Find any network program (preferably small), grab it's source, and read
away.

I suggest finding a good book on UNIX networking; there are several, make
sure you pick one up that explains the Berkeley UNIX / BSD-style sockets,
not SYSV streams.

3c905 != 3c905B.  They are very different revisions of the same card.  
The xl driver is available for 2.2-STABLE and -CURRENT.

Token ring is not supported in any way at current.

The sound driver guru recommends against Creative products until they send
us specifications. See if you can find a cheap Crystal- or Yamaha-based
card; all of them work very well and are readily detected by the pcm
driver.

Make sure that the dumping host can rsh into oscar successfully, and/or if
dump is failing on oscar.

	Assuming you're talking about pico, the man page answers that question.
Type 'man pico' at a shell prompt.

``controller scbus0'' is required if you have SCSI devices compiled in.
I'd HIGHLY recommend leaving the SCSI disk devices (cd0, od0, st0)
uncommented in case you run across these devices and want to attach them
to your system without rebuilding the kernel first.

In the future, post the compile errors when having trouble with failing
kernel builds.

The problem has been fixed.  I noticed a few other postings with people having 
+
problems relating to rshd so I got the revised source, recompiled and now 
everything is chipper.

	Look in the comments at the very top of the config file. For future
reference, majordomo questions should go to
majordomo-users@GreatCircle.COM, AFTER you've read all of the
documentation. 

Good luck,

	I suspect that you are really looking at two seperate errors. First,
make sure that you have set up your sendmail to receive mail from all
the hostnames that you want it to. You should have entries that look
like this in your sendmail.cf file, or the appropriate hostnames in your
sendmail.cw file if you use that instead:

Cwtest.com
Cwns1.test.com

etc.

	BTW, DON'T use test.com, it's a real domain. Once you get your box
connected to the internet having entries like this lying about can be a
problem. I don't have the RFC with the "safe" test names handy, but I
think that example.com should be safe. 

	The second problem is that you don't have an A record for your test.com
domain. This is a problem sometimes.

	Don't use 0 as the priority for an MX record, it hoses some MTA's. Use
1 instead. 

Add the following:

			IN A 127.0.0.1
ns1			IN A 127.0.0.1

	That should fix you up, unless something else is broken.

Good luck,

Doug

Hmm...

Isn't there a known problem booting from 48M?

This information is covered in the FAQ or the Handbook, I'm not sure which
one.  Anyhow, this is the basic course of action:

	1.  Fdisk the drive, create as many partitions as you want.
	I assume that you want 2, one for Windows one for FreeBSD.

	2.  Install Windows.

	3.  Install FreeBSD.  Somewhere in the installation, FreeBSD
	will install it's bootloader (booteasy).  

It's just that simple.  Read the FAQ/Handbook first though, I havn't done
this for a long time, so my information may not be complete.  

Good luck!

I am having trouble with ssh-1.2 as built from the ports tree.  ssh
seems to truncate files in a certain size range whenever you use it to
transfer data using a pipe or a redirect. Here is a way to repeat it
on my machine (both machines are running 2.2.6), with a comparison to
the same command using rsh: 

---
localhost$ rsh remote_host dd count=61 if=/dev/zero | wc -c
61+0 records in
61+0 records out
31232 bytes transferred in 2.557135 secs (12214 bytes/sec)
   31232
localhost$ ssh remote_host dd count=61 if=/dev/zero | wc -c
   30720
localhost$ 
---

Note how the statistics report that is normally written by dd to
stderr is missing too. If you drop the count by one, you will get a
good write, but the statistics report is still missing.  Drop it by
one more to 59, and everything works fine.

Any thoughts?

Please cc me in reply, as I am not currently subscribed to the list.

Thanks.

They floating point performance is substandard. 
They run *hot*, very,very *hot*.
They, in my personal experience, have a high failure rate.

Most importantly, for an extra 10-15 dollars, you can have a genuine
Intel, or an AMD.

Personally, you couldn't *pay* me to run a Cyrix processor in any of my
machines.

I guess it's not a problem (hasn't caused any noticable trouble so far),
but I'm curious as to what it means }:-|

Anybody know what this is?  This is with ppp from an all-ELF -current

Trying the `From Dos' partitition method of install. I'm dropping the
ball at the point where you are expected to select which partition
holds the dos directory with the install files.

Being familiar with Linux mainly, I don't recoganize the naming
conventions:

 I have 2 HDD .  One, all win95 with 3 partions C D E,
Number two is all most all linux with /dev/hdb/ 1-8  /dev/hdb3/ now
set to `a5' file system and labeled BSD/386.  (done confusedly with
the install fdisk editor) 

After using the handy `setup.exe' to make a boot floppy.  Then having
repeated problems with preping the source files.  (corrrupted, wrong
size etc) I may now have clean files (only installing the `bin'(basic)
directory)  But when the install gets to the point where you select a
dos address...

Theres the rub. I'm being shown three possibilities.  Two columns, one
colored yellow the other black, same entry in both columns.
wd0s1    wd0s1
wd0s2    wd0s2
wd1s1    wd1s1
 I 've tried all three at one time or another.  None have worked.  How
can one translate between Dos C, D, E and the system used by FreeBSD
or does it even see Dos partitions at all?

Do the above represent C D E or is wd1 a different disk?

I'd like to flesh out this install by finishing up with an FTP update
later on.  But, attempting an ftp install to begin with.  I wasn't
able to get a connection started.  Once the information (IP address
Domain name etc) was supplied.  I was shown a screen that told me
adamantly not to press `enter'until I'd made a connection, and
directed me to Alt-F3 to do so.  Going to Alt F3 I found no way to
continue. ... IE give a phone number username, password etc.  The only
command suggested to use is `term' which got me a `ready' prompt.  But
seemingly no way to do anything.  Return to the previous screen or
pressing F1 have not shown a way to connect.

What are the steps to making a connection?  Where do you put a phone
number etc?  What is the application that does the connection?  I
recognized nothing similar to minicom, telnet, or other ppp type
connecting devices.
Seems a different world altogether.

	Depends on what you have access to. If you've got access to the aliases
file, do it like this:

If your using a newer version of SendMail (don't know when it started
supporting this), just put all the mail addresses in a .forward file in the
home directory for the account that needs the forwarding.

Is there any way to configure the "Booteasy" FreeBSD boot manager so it
could perhaps pause and/or wait indefinetely instead of booting the last
booted OS? What about changing the default OS so that, for example, FreeBSD
is always booted by default instead of Win98, no matter what booted last..?

If there are no ways to configure the boot manager, will other boot
managers work with FreeBSD? What about the OS/2 Boot Manager?

Thanks, Anders.

I have FreeBSD 2.2.7 running on a Pentium computer with a
QIC-80 tape drive daisy chained on the floppy controller. The
tape drive was in a Conner box when I bought it about two
years ago. It has worked fine under DOS, Win95 and WinNT.
FreeBSD recognizes it as device ft0. When I execute this
command line:

    mt -f /dev/ft0 rewind

The tape drive light comes on and the tape drive whirs for a
few moments and it appears that the tape is rewinding, but
I then get the error message:

    mt: /dev/ft0 rewind:  Device not configured

Can someone tell me what's going on here?

Hi,

  Is there any way that I can share an int between a parent process and
some child processes? I'm writing a program which must do about this:
the children (created by a fork of course) increase a shared integer
variable when they're busy, and when they're not busy anymore, decrease
the shared integer with 1. The parent makes some non-educated guesses
about this; when all children are busy, the parent forks some more to
create some leeway.. I think I can do this with a shared variable (if
this kind of thing exists anyway).. If there's no such thing as a
'shared variable', could it be done in another way (like stdin and
stdout or something?)

thanx for the repy if you should decide to....

Sorry, but this one is not supported. No device driver.  I tried real hard
and then got a new Intel card.  The Intel cards work real well.  It is the
'B' that gets you and many others

Hi, I'm having a little trouble getting my ppp to work. I'm pretty sure my
modem is responding but not quite sure how to enable ppp and get it working.
I recently switch to FreeBSD, before I was running Linux, Slackware and I
had a chat script to get on the net. Would this be of any help? Well I'm
wondering if you can help me and send some step-by-step procedures, thanks
very much.

Hi Jordi,

I had trouble with the fdimage prog.  Try using rawrite.exe from dos instead.

Good Luck

Need more detail. Are you sure you're grabbing the same version bin.ai
as all the other bin.a[a-z]s are in? Know what I mean? Stable, release,
current, current beta - which version?

If you're using csh or friends, .cshrc or .tcshrc etc. If sh or friends,
.profile. I think bash uses .bashrc and on and on...

I am taking a course in C and have zip for previous programming
experience.  I need some recommendations on the better books that are
available for learning C. I learn well by reading and would prefer books
that are well written with clear explanations of the material.  I am told
that the prof is not that great of a teacher, so be prepared to dig the
stuff out on your own.  And I thought that those kind only taught the
undergrad classes. ;-)

BTW, the official text for the class is The New C Primer.  Any opinions?

Also what tools (ports) will I have to have installed on my FreeBSD
system to run and compile some of my work?  The prof wants me to work in
Winblows, and I explained about the bad case of hives that I get every
time I boot that S--- up.

Any and all advice is very much appreciated.

Regards,
Frank

You don't say but I'm assuming you have one disk you are trying to install
both os's on. If I were you, I would reinstall w95 first and leave adequate
room on the disk for Fbsd to install its partition. I seem to remember there
is a problem using fips with w95. BTW I have this setup and it works just
fine. I use the free bootinst.exe boot manager.

Good luck,

i was trying to install freebsd on a 
old 486 to test and it had 3 
scsi hdd's, i kept getting
error c:1456 > 1023   error msg.

i thought it was a bios limitation.
but i was able to install it on the IDE 
disk and thought there gotta be something 
going on here.

doing a fdisk /mbr with the 3 drives 
plugged in didnt help but
doing it with the new seagate 1 gig
did.

i am able to have my first 2 small drives
as / and /var and /swap and my 1 gig
as /usr  now !!

I guess Seagate puts a non-detectable
MBR on their drives because i wasn't
even able to install dos onto that
drive until i did the fdisk /mbr
on it.

I kept getting "no bootable partitions"
but fdisk reported it just fine.

So what drive does fdisk /mbr clean
if there are more than one drive
installed in the machine?

I thought ALL but i was wrong. (I think)

There's the shmat(2) and friends. You could also do this using pipes
or sockets from parent to children.

Only if you tell it to (recommended :-)

You'll need a free disk partition to install FreeBSD on.  This could
be a problem.  Check out the FreeBSD handbook for details
(http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/handbook.html).

I don't know what he's doing either, but I consider this the worst
possible solution.  Who knows what he's going to lose by reinstalling
Microsoft?  Yes, I know Microsoft themselves frequently recommend this
procedure, but that's an admission of defeat, not a description of a
desirable solution.

Yes, I think there was something.

The real answer to Anthony is:  "Tell us more about your system and
what you have done to it so far".  I can't answer this question
myself, since I don't do Microsoft, but I'm sure others will if they
are given the background they need.

Hi,
My company intends to become its own internet provider and I realise that
we have a lot of learning to do! I have had a look at MS NT4 Server with MS
Backoffice, but it costs a bomb and basically crippled an otherwise OK
Pentium 120MHz machine (Boy, did it slow down!!).

I have been getting the FreeBSD newsletters for a while and have to admit
that they go straight over my head on the whole, but some info sticks, so
there's hope for me yet :)

It looks like FreeBSD is fast and efficient. My questions...

1. Is the learning curve horrendous for someone who is only versed in DOS
and Windows?

2. Will there be any compatibility problems integrating a FreeBSD machine
into a Win'95 peer-to-peer network?

3. Does FreeBSD have a firewall built-in or is that available as a
similarly-priced add-on?

4. We want to offer on-line transaction facilities eventually. Is FreeBSD
up to the task, especially in regard to security issues?

5. I would prefer to purchase the CD-ROM version of FreeBSD, is a printed
manual also available?

I apologise in advance if I have asked some questions that might be
answered by browsing your website, but spare time is a scarce commodity for
me just now and I have not had enough of it to browse in a productive manner.

Kind regards,
Joe Raine.

I don't know if I can get you 'where you want to go today, MS (Tm) but I'll
take a shot. 48 megs is not a problem. I have one box running 48 megs.

When you say you get to kernel (sp) setup, must you config to get a boot?
What happens if you just let the boot floppy run without any changing the
config? Do you get to the install menus? Pay close attention to the probe
messages while the boot floppy is running, does everything look like it is
seen? You are not overclocking or anything weird are you?

I have never installed or booted from a cdrom so I cannot comment much in
that area. Give it another shot and I bet you'll get there, maybe not not
today, but eventually :)

Luck,

No.  I don't know it.  Have you taken a look?  It might be the answer
to your first question, and it's obviously a cheap alternative.

It's been a few years since I learnt C, and I can't remember the pain
too much except for wondering why it was so much more primitive than
Algol, so my recollections aren't necessarily typical.  But I did like
K&R.  Maybe you will too.

You can get by very nicely with the tools supplied with the base
system, and many (most?) of the FreeBSD developers do.  I personally
prefer the Emacs editor to vi, but that's a whole different holy war.
Apart from that, I also just use the standard tools.

ISTR that aliases must have a netmask of 255.255.255.255, but that may
be only if you have them in the same network, which is not the case
here.  In any case, you probably need to set a route to the
128.10.25.* subnet.

Where do you get this network address from?  It looks as if it's in
the CS department of Purdue University.

Yeah, I have the feeling that tar may not have created the
appropriate /dev files. A FEELING. If these were on slices
3 or 4 I would say, "I KNOW".

Boot back up single user, mount -u -w / ; cd /dev and do
sh MAKEDEV all 
and then

sh MAKEDEV sd0s2a

Do one for each N and M in sdNsMa that you have use for.
(MAKEDEV sd0s1a takes care of [r]sd0s1[a-h] )

If the preceding doesn't work, then I'm all out of ideas.

> c) other suggestions appreciated.

For fun, on a working 2.2.6 system:

	cd /dev
	tar cpf /dev/null . >/dev/null 2>/tmp/err.log

	cat /tmp/err.log

sample output:

tar: rsd0s3: minor number too large; not dumped
tar: rsd0s3c: minor number too large; not dumped
tar: sd0s3: minor number too large; not dumped
tar: rsd0s4: minor number too large; not dumped
tar: rsd0s4c: minor number too large; not dumped
tar: sd0s4: minor number too large; not dumped
(many more, and not just scsi drive stuff).

Is there a magic switch for tar that avoids this? Quien sabe?

Strange.  Sometimes things work OK for me, sometimes they don't:

I'd guess that it's a timing problem.  Maybe the secure channel goes
away before the final data (including the dd summary) gets across.
I'd recommend a bug report.

Above, you said that both boards were detected.  This looks very much
like the second one hasn't been detected.

Definitely.  That can never work.

You need to tell the system about the I/O configuration.  The GENERIC
kernel only supports one 3C509, so you'll have to add a line like this
to your kernel config file:

device ep1 at isa? port 0x310 net irq 11 vector epintr

Then rebuild and install the kernel, and try again.

I have bulk of data(there are many many directories.) to backup,
but I  only want to backup the modified part.

1.    How can I do that ?
2.    Is there any tools availble ?
3.    Can the command "tar" work for this purpose?
4.     Is there any method to do increment backup?

Please help me.  thanks in advance.

I use it without problems on one of my two systems at home.  Since that
system has a 6.4GB Western Digital, I had to use the latest fdisk from
the most recent service pack for Warp4, so it could correctly handle
that large of a drive.  After installing the service pack, I created
the three utility diskettes from system setup...

OS/2's boot manager is also bundled with Partition Magic.  I do not
know if an update is available to handle drives larger than, what,
6.1GB (I think that's the threshhold).
Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.

Difficult to say.  It depends on you, and it depends on what you
consider horrendous.  Others have done it, and I personally think that
I can understand the stuff better than Microsoft.  Take heart, anyway:
it's not insurmountable.

Doubtless.  Depending on what you want to do, they could be easy or
not-so-easy to solve.  Again, it's been done many times.

Yes.  There are a couple on the distribution CDs.  They're technically
add-ons.

There's "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition
(http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm).  It's expensive to ship
from the USA (1600 pages); I can send you a copy if you want.

FreeBSD will run quite nicely on a 120MHz system.

The short answer is YES.  But you don't have to learn everything to get
started.  And the payoff is well worth the effort.  The basic problem,
and I'm really not trying to insult you, is that you haven't learned
anything about real computer operating systems yet.  DOS and Winblows
are just barely better than CPM.  They are attempting to grow up to be
real operating systems, but they'll never make it.

You'll have to use Samba in the ports collection to use it as an SMB
server/client.  But you can also connect via TCP/IP.  I use FreeBSD at
home as my Internet gateway.  My Winblows machines connect thru it to
the Internet, as does OS/2, and other FreeBSD boxes.

Yes. The firewall costs the same as FreeBSD.  It's freaking free, dude.

FreeBSD can be more secure than any Winblows platform to date.

I recommend you get the book, "The Complete FreeBSD" from Walnut Creek
CDROM.  See http://www.cdrom.com/ or get there via
http://www.freebsd.org/

And my recommended reading list for all new system admins...
You need to read about the hierarchical UNIX filesystems and "mount
points".  These concepts should be covered in UNIX introductory books,
such as "Understanding UNIX" "A Conceptual Guide" published by Que (my
copy is dated 1983).  If you are *really* new to UNIX and computers in
general, i.e., your introduction to computers was by
IBM/Microsoft/Intel, then you should read an introductory book aimed at
users, such as the one mentioned.

Another book aimed at users that I found really good are written by a
guy named Sobell.  I think his first name is Mark.  I'll look these
books up on http://www.amazon.com/ and put the info at the bottom of
the page...

If you are going to be the system administrator for a FreeBSD system,
then you also need a book describing system admin.  There are a
plethora of system admin books on the market, but for FreeBSD, the one
most applicable, IMHO, is "Unix System Administration Handbook" by Evi
Nemeth, Garth Snyder, and Scott Seebass and published by Prentice Hall.
 My first edition was published in 1989, but they printed a second
edition in 1995.

In addition to the following books, check the following documents for

1. i sincerely apologize in complete humility for my problems
   with lynx.  after thorough testing, i found my problems
   to be my own - due to the use of <FONT COLOR="">'s without
   closing </FONT> tags.  i didn't suspect that changing the
   color of a FONT would've caused irregular spacing.
   the implications are fair, and semi-obvious.

2. i think FreeBSD & Lynx programmers are the best.

3. i finally would like to stress to new users that
   you are messing with the best in the world.  and you
   better be sure of what you are messing with before
   you are forced to retract in disgrace like me :(

an example is below.  remove the <FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">,
and the problem is fixed.  it could've also been done
by adding a </FONT> to match.  be sure to begin and
end outside of a PRE block, or begin and end inside
a PRE block.  never begin in a PRE block and end
outside a PRE block, or vice versa.

Simple things first, wd1 is a different physical disk than wd0. Wd0 is the
master drive and wd1 is the slave.

C,D,E et al are utterly meaningless to FreeBSD. C,D, and E only have
meaning in windows land. One thing I do not get from your description
though. You said you have three DOS partitions on the first drive? It
doesn't look like you do or I would see wd0s1, wd0s2, and wd0s3.

Did you mean to say that you have two partitions (C, D) on the first drive
plus one partition on the E drive?

wd0 is the first IDE drive. <== Your windows stuff.
wd1 is the second IDE drive. <== Your Linux stuff.

The FreeBSD naming breaks down like this.

wd-X-sX-(abc...)

wd  	<== The type of drive. In this case IDE. (sd for scsi)
wd0 	<== The number of drive. The first IDE drive.
wd0s1 	<== The DOS "(s)lice" number. The first DOS partition on the first
	IDE drive.
wd0s1a  <== The FreeBSD partition designator. This is the "a" (commonly
	holds the / file system) partition on the first DOS slice on the
	first IDE drive.

Example: 
wd1s2c 	<== The "c" FreeBSD partition on the second DOS slice on the
	second IDE drive.

Assuming that you want to wipe out windows :P and keep Linux and FreeBSD
you will be installing FreeBSD into wd0s1 or wd0s2.

This is PPP land. I am no modem guru. What you will do is enter "term" and
then enter commands like "atdt foo-isp#" and login. Please consult and
authoritative source here.

Please note that there are no form fields to fill out here, i.e. no place
to put a number. The application that will connect you is "term" which is
your PPP connecting device.

I did my C class on Mac. Everytime I would ask a teaching assistant for
help they would fetch my code over to a time share box and compile under
unix.

"Why did you do that?" I asked.

"Unix won't crash if your program is broke," they replied.

(This, by the way, was part of my continuing ascent to gurudom.)

You will spend less time rebooting your computer if you build under
FreeBSD. This is my limited experience. YMMV.

Tell us what you are typing to try to get fdimage working. What error
messages are you getting? We need more info.

Be sure to follow http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html closely.
These instructions are very good.

And don't even click on these links. You don't need to if you follow the
above instructions.

You do not need to understand the "impossible". The installation disc (1.4
MB) is the only thing you need to manually download. FreeBSD will take
care of all of the tricky stuff.

RPM is pretty linux specific. You may have better luck asking a linux
forum how to set it up.

Just off the top of my head, I would say that /var/local doesn't even
exist on your FreeBSD system. This is just a guess.

Yes.  But we've all been there.  I was.  I still consider myself a newbie.

Not that I know of.  I use my FreeBSD box as a firewall/gateway for my 
home subnet.  No comms issue whatsoever.

Built-in.  Comes free.  It's called ipfw.  I use it and recommend it.  
There's also something called ipf, but I know little about it.

I see no reason why not.  But I have no experience in this area.  Perhaps 
the security mailing list is better suited to this question.

Yes.  Buy it.  I wish I did before I installed.  It's called The Complete 
FreeBSD and has lots of good stuff in it.  Unfortunately, it's written by 
an ocker.  :P

No worries.  My website might have some handy hints on getting started.  
It also shows you what not to do (e.g. The CDROM story; kids, don't try 
this at home).

If I upgrade to bind 8, will my machine recognise domain names starting
with a digit as per rfc1123?  How about underscores as per informational
rfc1035?

Anthony, try booting into a DOS prompt (F8 while booting), and run FIPS from
there.  Of course, before running something as potentially destructive as
FIPS, backup all data first.

The slowdown is the least of your worries.  :-)  In your current situation,
you probably can't even imagine the frustration of a Unix admin, used to
almost unlimited power and flexibility, faced with the "can't get there from
here" Microsoft design philosophy.

Best advice I can give:  Set up a FreeBSD box and play, play, play...

> and Windows?

Yes, the learning curve _can_ be steep.  But the steeper the curve upwards,
the easier the slide down the other side.  It might take you several times as
long to become familiar with a UNIX interface as with NT, but once you have
done so, you'll never want to exchange the flexibility and power for
anything.  In my daily job, I'm sometimes expected to perform up to 27 minor
miracles a day (it's in my contract somewhere).  The very way NT was put
together, the very philosopy behind it, would turn some of these minor tasks
into week-long programming projects.

Shouldn't, depending on what you need to do.  Samba does a very good job of
integrating with NetBEUI networks.  There _can_ be problems if you want to
(say) share password databases across systems.

It's a misconception that a firewall is a single "thing" in a black box.
FreeBSD comes with powerful IP filtering and diverting capabilities.  That
can be a part of a firewall setup.  There are many packet-level and
application-level proxy servers available for FreeBSD.  That can be a part of
a firewall.  Furthermore, there are several free firewall "toolkits", as well
as commercial products along the same lines for FreeBSD.

If you're new to the idea of firewalls, I can sincerely recommend the book
"Building Internet Firewalls" by Chapman and Zwicky, published by O'Reilly &
Associates.  (http://www.ora.com/)

You can configure Apache with SSL support for secure transactions, or you can
purchase the (excellent) commercial Stronghold secure server.  Various other
alternatives also exist.

Greg's book.  :-)  And almost anything published by the above-mentioned
O'Reilly firm that seems relevant.

Still, if you decide that this might be the course for you to take, I would
suggest giving the site (or a mirror close to you) a thorough once-over.

Hey all --

I have a freebsd box and a sparc running solaris sitting here waiting for me
to create a network.  I've been having my problems, however.  I have a 5 port
hub which has an uplink port.  I have a cable modem connection, which I
currently have set up with just my freebsd box using dhcp.  

1)  would it be possible to hook the cable modem into the uplink port, have
the freebsd box and sparc in two other ports, and have the freebsd box use
natd and act as a gateway?  Or am I going to need a second ethernet card on
the gateway box? 

2)  If that is possible, can anyone point me in the right direction?  I've
yet to find information concerning uplink ports on hubs in combination with
internal networks...

Thanks all,

Read the man page for dump(8).

Most of what you say can also be accomplished by clever usage of tar, if you
don't want to go into the complexities of dump.

For instance, to do an incremental backup, write a little script which does a
complete backup, and then touches a file (say, /usr/local/etc/lastbackup).

Then, to do an incremental backup, you can do:

find / \( -path '/tmp' -prune \) -o \
       \( -path '/proc' -prune \) -o \
       \( -name '*.core' -prune \) -o \
       \( -name 'a.out' -prune \) -o \
       \( ! -type d -newer /usr/local/etc/lastbackup -print |) \
| tar cvTf - /dev/nrst0 >/var/log/backup.incremental.log 2>&1

... or similar.

After writing what I did about this question ("it depends"), it
occurred to me that I should have elaborated.

I find configuring Microsoft systems complicated because you only see
a little bit at a time; it's like standing outside the place where
things are happening and looking in through a window.  You can often
configure UNIX systems this way too, but the real way is to get inside
and look around.  Instead of playing with pieces of a jigsaw puzzle,
you have a list of things to do.  The best example is the main
configuration file for FreeBSD systems, /etc/rc.conf, which contains a
list of parameters to set for system startup.  Want to check your
system config?  That's the place to go.  Did you forget something?
Then it'll be in /etc/rc.conf, but wrong.  By contrast, the visual
approach requires you to have some written documentation (a book, for
example) to tell you all the places you need to check.

So I suppose the real question is: can you read, can you handle a
checklist?  Then you'll find UNIX easier than Microsoft, *once* you've
got used to the change.

This is no cheaper than from Walnut Creek CDROM, who use the proceeds
of the sale in part to fund FreeBSD development.  If you're not going
to have any disadvantage from buying direct from Walnut Creek, please
do so.  In Joe's case, of course, there are two significant
disadvantages: first, shipping is surface mail (3 months), and
secondly it costs anyway.  But the same would apply to Amazon or any
other US-based bookshop.

And also the website below.  There's some instructions there on how to

I have a problem with teTeX-0.4 and FreeBSD 2.2.7. I have installed the
package but xdvi nor dvips works properly. MakeTeXPK creates fonts
in /tmp but xdvi or dvips complains with the following output:

"xdvi"
kpathsea: Running MakeTeXPK cmcsc10 540 600 0+540/600 ljfour

I've just installed FreeBSD 2.2.7 on my Inspiron laptop with NeoMagic video
adapter, and I'm having a little trouble getting it properly configured. Can
anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks,

I don't know what an uplink port is.  That stated:

No.  It won't work.  [But I stand to be corrrected].  I suggest you get a 
second network card for your freebsdbox.

Got a chance to buy this system. What ya think, how well would FreeBSD
perform on this as compared to a Single P200 chip with the rest of the
hardware the same ?  I would run -current elf with SMP.

   Mid-tower case, 7 bay
     Dual socket 8 motherboard, Ultra-wide onboard SCSI, onboard 10/100
NIC
     2 Pentium Pro 150 cpu's
     32 meg RAM
     Fujitsu 1 Gig Fast WIDE scsi HD
     keyboard, floppy, video
     NT 4.0 server

They want $495.00, sound like a decent deal?

Dump is not so complex. Once it is setup (one time process), plus the
restore command in interactive mode is fairly simple to use.

Compared to that find statement dump is easy. :-)

Phj,

Dump will allow you to do a backup on a volume level. For example you will
be able to backup "/". Dump has 9 levels of increment. 0 means everything,
1 means changed since last 0 level backup. Each level backs up files
changed since the previous level backup.

Tar works at a file level. This gives you the advantage of been able to
exclude unnecessary files at the expense of having to use find to produce
the list for you.

I recommend you get familiar with both.
For instance I use dump for my full backup and incrememtals ever couple of
days. I use tar for daily backups of essential configuration files which
are both critical and small (i.e. configuration files for ppp, /etc/hosts,
....). This daily tar fits in a floppy and I have 5 floppies I rotate.

I have asked this question at leat 4 times to this list.
Have NEVER got a single answer. :-(
I have also asked where the souce is so I could do the changes myself. No
replies either.

The OS/2 boot manager works, but has a problem of it's own. It uses a
whole partition for itself. On a PC you can only have 4 partitions per
physical HD.

***

For what I have seen, IBM has only Intel chip based networking ( Etherexpress
Pro 100/+/B ) or AMD PCNet based onboard ( lnc ). The better way is to boot
the machine with corresponding floppy, I suggest using one from the latest
BETA. I have several IBM PC-servers lying around, but I'm sad I never got a
chance to try them under FreeBSD, they run LoseNT, blaah.

If the SCSI and Ethernet chips are supported, this seems a very fine
system (I personnally would be overjoyed by the erasure of Win$ NT by
FreeBSD).
Then you'll have to check about the support of the motherboard chipset as
far as SMP is concerned.

PS : regarding performance, all depends on what it will have to do (for a
single user, I don't see what the gain will be - Is Xfree threaded ?)

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.7 release, and trying to add multithreading to
an existing program.

I have a problem with the send/sendto call:  send() sometimes returns an
incomplete count.

The file descriptor is not set as non blocking by my program (of course,
I guess that the underlying threads implementation sets O_NONBLOCK, but
this should be transparent).

The program does not actually create threads right now, it's just linked
with libc_r. When linking with the normal libc, everything works fine.
It also works fine under SOLARIS and LINUX (both with and without the
threads library). The non threaded version of the program has
transferred several terabytes of data to/from FreeBSD servers, so I
guess it's more or less working.

 Also, I checked uthread_sendto.c and uthread_write.c, and they do work
different. write() loops until the byte count is complete, sendto() does
not. 

So my question is: 

 Is it normal that send() could return an incomplete count on a blocking
descriptor ?

The manual page is not clear on the subject. The kernel comments are not
exactly clear either. It seems to me that the normal sosend() will loop
until something bad happens or everything is sent.

Of course my workaround is to use write() except for OOB, but this
doesn't look clean.

In the handbook is a section about backups :

That should get you started.

Also, does /var/local/lib/rpm exist?  Or is there a symlink to
/usr/local/lib/rpm?  Worked for me.  You might also look into the rpm
source and change the rpm dirs if it suits you.

Snicker. I set up an ISP with a pair of P120-class boxes. It's
currently serving about 1000 users with dial-in authentication
(RADIUS), web, mail, DNS. They've been running almost two years now
with no problems, and little intervention.

Depends on how much time you have to put into it and how interested
you are in learning. If you don't have enough time to learn it
yourself, you should find someone who does, or at least have rapid
access to a UNIX/net geek. The biggest obstacle is the MS small-world
(small office LAN) mindset: the net's a big place but it's nice that
IP plays well on the LAN and WAN.

Check Samba, free from the ports collection, if you're intersted in
file/printer sharing. There's a Samba book now which you might find
helpful.

Same thing: check ipfilter and ipfw.

Like cash transactions? Or real-time high-volume stuff? For the former
at least you might check the port of Apache+SSLeay.  Security and
robustness are two major factors in my use of FreeBSD.

Just make sure you set aside enough time when you're setting this up
and learning. The lists are good resources.

Woke up this morning to find one of my FreeBSD boxes offline.
Rebooting produced the following :

/dev/rwd0s1a: clean, 32630 free
Can't open /dev/rsd0s1e: device not configured
/dev/rsd0s1e: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM
/dev/rsd0s1e: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
/dev/rwd0s1f: clean, 3086375 free
/dev/rwd0s1e: clean, 19596 free
Automatic file system check failed... help!

fsck also failed with the following error :
Can't open /dev/rsd0s1e. Device not configured.

I've rebuilt the parity on the external RAID array - it reported
zero errors !  The RAID system's patrol service also reported
zero errors. So, the 3 HD's that comprise the array seem to be fine
...  yet I feel the problem lies in the RAID and not the FreeBSD
box.  

Anyway, just wondering if anyone recognises these symptoms or has
any other ideas ? I guess it could be the RAID controller (which 
will be a bummer since StreamLogic is now out of business, last I
heard).

real time kernal for linux ported to FBSD? Any one working on it??
if not would it be worth while to organise a discussion ???

FBSD Is so clean!

My FreeBSD machine is acting a little bit strange:

Did I run into some resource limit? If so, what do I need to change in the
kernel? 

Or is it some other problem? If you need more information to answer this
question, please ask. I would be glad to provide you with more details.

I found a *non* accellerated server from a Linux guy a while back and
compiled it into the link kit for FreeBSD. I posted the info and
config I used here about three weeks ago. Might want to SEARCH the
www.freebsd.org archives.

Xig.com sells a nice accellerated server for around $200 I think.

If you can get them to remove NT4.0Server and refund the $500 list
price that it supposedly costs, then it would be a *great* deal. :-)

I just bought some pieces which might be faster/cheaper:

$115	K6/2-300
$ 85	FIC 503+ mobo (with 1M L2 cache, can do 100Mhz bus with the K6/2-300)

Other bits I priced:

$85	64MB PC-100 10ns RAM DIMM (can operate at 100Mhz)
$20	box, power supply
$ 5	keyboard
$15	floppy
$115	Matrox Millenium II AGP 8MB (high end performance and price)

Disk is cheap but unfortunately SCSI seems to be about twice the price
of IDE/UDMA. 

I would guess the K6/2-300 would be significantly faster than a
PPro-150 because of the high speed L2 cache path, and because
multi-CPU scaling is not linear, faster than 2xPPro150.

By my math, I'd say even as cheap as this appears, it's not as great a
deal as buying the latest components. At least I hope so for my own
sake! :-)

Computer HW is such a bad investment, but they're so cheap I can't
help myself!

Haven't tried FreeBSD on the 325 yet, but we have a raft of them here
running Solaris-2.5.1 and 2.6. I'd think if it could run solaris it
could run FreeBSD. Sorry, just anecdotal.

New to programming, you need a general computer book that talks about
computer architectures, you need a book that talks about data structures,
and then you need a beginners book for C.  If you're going to go past that
you'll eventually want books on object oriented programming.  But if you're
just talking about a great reference for C, I recommend "C: A Reference
Manual", Samuel P. Harbison and Guy L. Steele.  I think it's in its forth
edition.  (Do I have those its-it's backwards?)

Jason;

RPM keeps a library of all the rpms installed, dependencies,
etc...  As you noticed, the /var/local/lib/rpm/packages.rpm
is not there.  RPM has --rebuilddb and --initdb options to
rebuild and construct a rpm database.  I recommend trying a
--initdb if you did not already have a database going (which
will be overwritten if you did).  In the future if you see any
corruption, you might try a --rebuilddb (rpm --rebuilddb).  The
--dbpath allows you to specify the path of the rpm database.
So, you can do a "rpm --initdb --dbpath /var/local/lib/rpm".
You might have to check to see if /var/local/lib/rpm is indeed
created by the FreeBSD package install.

We are certified RedHat engineers if you need anything, just let
me know.

Good Luck,
Scott

   You've run out of process slots. Assuming that this wasn't caused by a
run-away forking process, then you probably just need to increase the
"maxusers" parameter in your kernel config file (and rebuild the kernel).

I understand the C,D,E is windows speak, but am asking if the listed 
partitions are the same ones.

That was my take too.  So the offered dos partitions are  confusing
since there are none on wd1

No.

The linux bootup screens give this picture of the bios setup:
(pared down for brevity)

o Pri. Master  Disk : LBA ,Mode 4, 3166MB Parallel Port(s)  : 378
o Pri. Slave   Disk : LBA ,Mode 4, 3166MB EDO DRAM at Row(s): 0
o Sec. Master  Disk : CDROM,Mode 3        SDRAM at Row(s)   : None
o Sec. Slave   Disk : None                L2 Cache Type     :

Looking at the respective drives with linux fdisk gives this picture.

o Disk /dev/hda: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 767 cylinders
o Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes
o 
o    Device Boot   Begin    Start   End   Blocks   Id  System
o /dev/hda1   *        1        1   257  1036192+   6  DOS 16-bit >=32M
o /dev/hda2          259      259   767  2052288    5  Extended
o /dev/hda5          259      259   517  1044256+   6  DOS 16-bit >=32M
o /dev/hda6          518      518   767  1007968+   6  DOS 16-bit >=32M

I've lost track through various adjustments etc of how the numbering
arrived at what it is.  But the dos disk above Is one HDD divided into
3 partitions. One primary (1) the last two (5,6 logical) enclosed in
an extended partition(2)..


o Disk /dev/hdb: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 767 cylinders
o Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes
o 
o    Device Boot   Begin    Start   End   Blocks   Id  System
o /dev/hdb1            1        1   563  2269984+   5  Extended
o /dev/hdb2   *      564      564   664   407232   a5  BSD/386
o /dev/hdb5            1        1     9    36225   82  Linux swap
o /dev/hdb6           10       10   467  1846624+  83  Linux native
o /dev/hdb7          468      468   476    36256+  82  Linux swap
o /dev/hdb8          477      477   563   350752+  83  Linux native

This one also has an extended partition that I adjusted on advice
form a poster on BSD-current, so that it stops just before the BSD
partition (slice) begins  There is also still a section from 563 to
767 that is uncharted.(previously an ext2 file system)

So here we have and extended partiton (1) surrounding linux partitions
(5-8) and beyond that a BSD `slice' (2 primary)

Apparently the install routine is seeing the extended partions as dos
but not seeing what is inside them.

****8< snipped details of BSD naming (thank you)

> Assuming that you want to wipe out windows :P and keep Linux and FreeBSD

What I had hoped to do is ignore the dos partition (other than as a
holding ground for the BSD install files) and install BSD on the
second disk (Primary slave) where I've put its `slice' as above.

 Choosing any of the offered `dos' partitions to install from ends
 with this message:

o Error mounting /dev/wd0s1 [wd0s2/wd1s1 ed] on /dist: Operation not
o permitted.

I understand the above to be trying to mount a dos partition so as to
be able to access the files waiting there, to be installed.  Is that a
right assumption?

Or is something completely different going on here?

Thanks for the details -- Still confused though.
PS- during install, at the point where you are expected ot setup the
actual BSD partitions within its `slice'. F1 will get you a good
explanation of BSD numbering etc of partitions. 

What/where is that text taken from?  Surely it must be available
besides on the boot floppy.

Well, before you slit your wrists, could you answer a question (which
might make you rethink slitting your wrists)??

Did any of the HTML validators catch the problem??

And furthermore, this is simply another example of technology that
doesn't fail in a logical manner, making it nigh impossible to track
down.  It's not your fault.

Many examples of this exist in this business.  Consider the stupid
error messages programmed into DOS, i.e., "Command or file name not
found"!!  That pathetic piece of shit doesn't even know if it can't
find the program or a frickin' argument' target??  And it doesn't tell
you what the hell it was looking for, or where??

Okay, here it goes....I am very, very new to the Unix environment.  I am
asking probably a 'greenhorn' question in terms of web/internet
configuration in the FreeBSD OS.

I have two options.....might I ask which one is easier?

1.  Assign two or more URL addresses to the same IP number (as aliases,
etc.)
For example, to have one.twu.edu also be two.twu.edu.

2. Or, to redirect a server to another URL.  How might this be done?

I appreciate any feedback on this.  I want to ensure I do this
correctly.

Thank you,

Hello,

As long as Windows, is installed first FreeBSD will install a bootmanager.
Keep in mind you will need enough space for FreeBSD and Windows needs to be
installed first for this to work.

Yes.

Yes.  I started to write No but while checking the docs for the option
to revert to traditional behaviour I found that the current defaults
allow this.  If you should run into problems with these take a look
at the options {} section of named.conf and in particular check-names.
The defaults are
    check-names master fail;                                  
    check-names slave warn;  
    check-names response ignore;

meaning you can't use these names in your own zone files but will be
able to resolve them on broken networks.  Seems like a good balance.

I'm looking at ording "The Complete FreeBSD" and have found that 
is comes with or without the 4 CD's.  Are these CD's worthwhile 
having?  I have a high bandwith connection to the net so 
downloading the os from www.freebsd.org isn't painful, is there 
anything on the cd's that can not be downloaded from various sites?

I'll tell you why spam is being sent. 

Spam is being sent because the Department of Natural Resources refuses to
issue hunting licenses for them because the DNR operates under the
mistaken notion that spammers are a protected species.

The mail guru works hard to ban spammers as they show up. This is like
trying to rid your space ship of tribbles. The FreeBSD lists are every bit
as subject to the net as any one persons mailbox.

Out of the 150 or so FreeBSD emails I get each day, one or two of them are
spam (less than one percent). I can always recognize them by the header. I
just delete them.

If this is too much for you to bare, perhaps your stated plan of action is
best.

That's not (yet) clear; it's more of an issue of you using a "real" name
& address, and having the IRIX server configured to permit mail to be
relayed from that IP address.  As such, this is more of an
administrative & DNS issue than a sendmail one (as far as what needs to
change).

	No, none, zilch zero. They all run great! I've seen three or four

http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/bsd/amdref.html

No promises, but I'll do what I can.

Ok; this seems reasonably straightforward.  You don't describe any
problems doing this, so does that mean you've got this part worked out?

How might one determine "whatever project they are logged into"?

Do you want this "whatever project" to always be singular, or can it be
plural?  How is this enforced (or do you care)?

Would it be acceptable to use the very same structure on this (last)
machine that you have in all the others, and populate the "project
directories" with symlinks (pointing to the "real" home directories)?

>Also, is there anything like a group password in
>FreeBSD (yes, I know it is a Bad Idea...).

Yes, but it's not clear how you might make use of it, since BSD systems
use the union of the group access list for a given process for
determining (e.g.) whether or not the process is permitted to open a
given file in a given mode.

	It's like a drug. (Saying the man who has three Pentium class 
computers as home workstations.) 
	The only problem I see with the PPro, is replacement parts... I'd 
have to agree though, buy new parts, you'll probally be a lot better off.

	Well, I consider not to bad with the amount of 'real' traffic 
that comes across it. There are probally at least 100 people here who are 
working on cleaning it up. But with the number of e-mail stripping 
programs out there... it's kinda hard, though it has been a LOT worse.

	No problem. Being a newbie, I wasn't sure what the situation
was and wanted to check. If there are any measures which readers of the 
list can take to stomp out the SPAM, please let us know!

Hi,

I have recently attempted an upgrade from FreeBSD 2.2.6 to
FreeBSD 2.2.7 on my Canon Innova Book 490CDT.  For the 2.2.6-REL,
I was successful in patching my system with the PAO-2.2.6
sources.  After installing the changes, I was pleased to 
note that my Cirrus-Logic PC-Card PD6729/6730 interface was
successfully detected by the kernel, and all my PC-Cards worked 
great.

HERE'S THE PROBLEM.  I upgraded the OS to the 2.2.7-REL
and followed all the instructions in the PAO-980913 release
for 2.2.7.  All non-trivial kernel patches were successful,
and the kernel recompile was successful.  However, the
KERNEL does not detect the PD6729/6730 interface, and
hence I can't get any of my PC-Cards to work.

I have included the kernel output for both PAO-2.2.6 and
PAO-2.2.7 as well as the kernel configuration files
in each case.  If I can provide any more information,
please feel free to contact me.  

Note: A wide terminal can be helpful in browsing this message.

Thanks for your attention,

JM

Well, a given person's experiences & background are likely to play a
significant role in making the determination.

For me, for example, the first alternative would be easier, because for
the second, I'd need to go look something up.  :-)  (Also, in fairness,
I expect that the second would mean that it would be necessary to run a
Web server on each machine, while the first alternative means there's
really only a single machine; it merely happens to have a couple of
names.)

Assuming that your IP address <-> hostanme mappings are being handled
via DNS (which is my preference), there's no problem assigning multiple
hostnames to the same machine (with a single IP address).

You could either have a separate "A" record for each hostname, or have
one "A" record and a "CNAME" record.

You can also assign multiple IP addresses to a single interface (on a
single machine), and thus have the machine respond to any of several IP
addresses (and corresponding hostnames).

Please note, though, that you may want to pay attention to what hostname
& IP address the machine uses for responses....

Do the step-by-step procedures in the man page not work ?  What about

According to the M$ specs, there are only three valid CBCP codes, 
REQ, RESPONSE & ACK (1, 2 & 3).  If ppp gets something outside of 
this range, it moans with the above message and drops it on the floor.

Is the other side a M$ OS ?  (guffaw, guffaw!).   It may be worth 
taking it up with the remote admin....

I would have thought that ipfilter should be faster, implying less 
use of the cpu.  WRT the memory footprint, I have no idea - they're 
*probably* roughly the same.

However, natd does things that I'd be hugely surprised if ipfilter 
does.  Specifically, natd supports ``r''commands, non-passive FTP, 
CuSeeMe, NetBIOS & IRQ transparently.  It's also easy (and unlikely 
to be affected by OS upgrades) to add your own special protocol 
support (src/lib/libalias/alias_*.c).

Shouldn't be a problem with either (you probably wouldn't notice the 
speed difference).

how can I see if a name is registered? IS there a database of all the

I have absolutely no control of the IRIX server configuration. I merely
have an account there.

ah. So what should I do?

Yeah, I am getting hit by it too.  Sounds like time to do some
root mail to the offending machine(s).  I have gotten a dozen
or so dishes of spam over the past few weeks.  If it reaches
a real critical mass, something should be done.

I have always wondered.....

   How many emailed uuencoded fs dumps of returned spam would it
   take to fill an offending machine's var fs to slow it down?

   If everyone replied with a biggie dump of returned spam I am
   sure they would get the message?

   Let's see, a script to dish up a fs full of returned spam,
   uuencoded for clarity in transmission, split into 1 meg
   chunks for mailing, mailed in triplicate to assure message
   reception..... times several hundred irate folks....

   That might do it.....

   nah, too easy.....

Yes, I run an AMD K6-2/300 here under latest BETA and it works great.
I'm using A-Trend EagleMax mb if that matters.

There is not just one file. There are many.

If you want to install FreeBSD you should go to

I also have a high bandwidth connection. I gave my 2.2.2 CDs to a friend.
I really don't care if I ever see them again.

There is really nothing on the CDs that is not on the net. 

For the paranoid, CDs do lend and added measure of security. The sources
on them can't be modified.

Also, if something really bad happens (e.g. the network explodes) you can
still install new software.

Even though there is a small amount of spam I would rather
quickly delete that than to not be part of this list.
This list is the best !!!!!

Oops, somehow I managed to eliminate all useful	information from

from the cd, or should I copy it from my home machine or is there
another option?

If it helps, my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf looks like this:

default:
 set redial 5 10
 set device /dev/cuaa2
 set speed 115200
 set server /var/run/ppp "" 0117

That should at least help you see what does what, although the
ppp.conf.sample should be able to help you there.

Which bit isn't working at your end? Make sure you enable logging with
something like this in syslog.conf

!ppp
*.*			/var/log/ppp

which will make finding problems easier (probably). All this assumes
you're using ppp and not pppd. Also, I assume you have a tun driver in
your kernel?

Buy a proper keyboard first, which has
 - an apostrophe key
 - a shift key
 - a full stop key
 - a comma key (may not be needed, but they're quite useful I find)

I see you managed to find the brackets.

Then, explain why losing win98 would be a bad thing.

Serious answer at last, I had win95 on here :-( when I installed
FreeBSD, and it worked fine. Since Micro$crew are such tossers, I
suspect win98 is identical to win95 but with a new name and a few more
bugs thrown in, so it may work from there too. (You'll have to drop down
to DOS first though.)

Also, I'm not quite sure what you mean by having a partition split into
2 partitions? Do you have two partitions within an extended partition?
I'm not sure whether FreeBSD can be installed within an extended
partition or not, so you may have to do better than that.

No. At least, it wasn't for me. YMMV, of course. It may be steep at
first, I've heard some people say it's vertical, but after using it
for a few months you should pick things up fairly quickly. I've been
using FreeBSD for about 5 months, so I'd still consider myself a newbie
compared with others here, and I still learn new things all the time.
But I don't find much of it difficult, and that's the important bit.

Probably, considering win95 isn't even compatible with itself.

Dear Sir/Madam,

PROBLEM:
I am using a hosted server FreeBSD 2.1.7.1. As it is a hosted 
service, I do not have rights in /etc/sysconfig. However, the latter 
a need to reconfigure in order to activate a IBCS emulator 
(ibcs2="YES") because I want to run a database called CDS/ISIS. 
However, as I said before the system administrator does not give me 
any rights there.

QUESTION:
I am not a FreeBSD expert at all but is it possible to alternatively 
install the IBCS emulator in for example /usr/home/mydomain/ibcs 
and activate it with a setting my .login file?

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

Thanks in advance,

A useful tool for this purpose is the "nslookup" program.  Some folks
prefer to use "dig".

In either case, the issue is what the process running on the IRIX box
believes; I expect that "nslookup" is a little more likely to be
available on that box than "dig" is (but I could well be wrong about
that).

>I have absolutely no control of the IRIX server configuration. I merely

Sounds as if the administration of that machine doesn't want you doing
what you've been doing.  Assuming you want to work *with* these folks,
I'd suggest that you contact them & try to cooperate.

If you don't do that, and they find out that you're circumventing their
operations, I expect you'll find yourself disconnected permanently.

>ah. So what should I do?

>thanks for the reply!

Talk to the IRIX admin(s).  You might find out if they like cookies (and
if so, bring some for them).

Just answering my own initial post - FreeBSD was innocent,
the RAID controller seems to have died. Zero communication
between that and the FreeBSD box. 

Moral of the story : backup, even if it's on redundant RAID 5.

If you can, check out /usr/ports/devel/xwpe, it's a very Borland like
editor for C/C++.  Most likely, it will fit in nicely with the editors you

I am in the process of sneaking a freebsd box in the back door of our
HP-UX-only shop. We need a dial-in and dial-out server for my support
group, and can't afford an HP box this quarter, so I've been given a
green light on setting up our favorite OS for the purpose.

I have been given a P200 PC by the IS dept, with a Digiboard PC/4e. I've
got the driver enabled, and the kernel is loading it. The difficulty is
getting the serial ports configured. I can only find two semi-relevant
examples, with no explanation at all, of setting up the serial ports for
the multi-port card, anywhere on your site (or the entire web)

the details--
Dell XPS M200S, a pretty generic Pentium 200 Pc with intergated sound,
joustick, USB, a single com port at COM1 on MB, Powergraph 64 video,
single lpt on MB at irq 7, PS/2 mouse port on irq12, an ISA digiboard
PC/4e, and a 3COM 3C595 PCI ether card.
The digiboard river is in the config file as
device     dgb0 at isa ? port 0x300 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz ? tty
it is detected during boot as
dgb0: PC/Xe 64/8k (windowed)
dgb0 at 0x300-0x303 maddr 0xd0000 misize 8192 on isa
dgb0: 4 ports

the on-board serial is in the config file as
sio0     at isa ? port "IO_COM1" flags 0x10 tty irq4 vector siointr
it is detected at boot-up as
sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq4 flags 0x10 on isa
sio0: type 16550A

But, no matter how I set sio1-4, they are not detected at boot-up. What
parameters/flags should I set to enable their detection? What am I
missing?

Just thought I'd mention that the set-up I described previously
for a FreeBSD proxy/router does not circumvent firewall licences.
Posting this to the list so that someone else doesn't make the
same mistake :

ie. we have -

LAN (50 PCs) <----> fxp1
                    fxp0 <----> Firewall <----> Internet

The idea being that the one FreeBSD box could route traffic
for the 50 PCs on the LAN. Having set this up (config below),
we've now been told that our firewall (Checkpoint Firewall-1) 
still sees the 50 PCs as 50 machines, each requiring a licence...
since it sees the different MAC addresses.

So, looks like this was a waste of time - might as well turn
the FreeBSD proxy/router into a webserver or something - and 
connect the LAN directly to the firewall.

If you guys have the CDROM's from Walnut Creek, there's an alternative
boot-manager on it call osbs-beta in the the tools subdir (?), that
does exactly what you want. You can configure the name and delay time
as well. I definitely recommend it over BootEasy.

 First off I'd like to thank James A. Mutter, Tom Jackson, Grey Lehey
and Johann Visagie for replying, really appreciate it.
 Second I'd like to apologize for my lack of info in my first Email.
Here is everything...I hope
I have already windows95 on my hard drive, I want to put FreeBSD on
there to the same drive (if I had it my way I'd have only FreeBSD) First
I defraged my hardrive, then when I used Fips.exe (in DOS) to free space
I could not get back into windows after  making a separate partition,
but I can still use DOS.  The last time i use fips, it told me
afterwards that it couldn't locate COMMAND, system halted. Another time
it told me, couldn't find himem.sys. It always says the following when
im trying to get into windows-
"While initializing device VFBACKUP
VFBACKUP could not load VFD.VXD"
--Some how I think it would be easier to install another hard drive and
dedicate it totally to FreeBSD

I hope this was enough info. Thank you all again
AnthonyS.

By the way, what set up is best for 100megs (as in minimum, custom .ect)

This is probably an easy question:

I want to be able to run xman, xload, etc. All the source code is located in
the /usr/X11R6/contrib/programs directory.
What do I need to do to make these programs run/exist?
Thanks,

Usually the subject is how to read these from FreeBSD.  I'm searching
for a way of doing the opposite, that is producing a .DOC file usable
by MS-Word.

I don't have Word but am wondering if it suffices to produce RTF
output from FreeBSD and simply name it with the .DOC extension?

Thanks,

Greetings!

I'm getting the following message upon boot up in the multi-homed machine...

  arp: 00:a0:c9:2c:aa:5c is using my IP address 10.10.138.224!

I'm trying to set up a machine with two network interfaces -- I got them
both to be recoginzed, and I configured my /etc/rc.conf as follows:

  network_interfaces="fxp1 fxp0 lo0"      # List of network interfaces 
  ifconfig_fxp1="inet 10.10.138.224  netmask 255.255.255.192"
  ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.10.138.225  netmask 255.255.255.192"
  ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"   # default loopback device configuration.

My ifconfig statements return:

  fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.10.138.225 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 10.10.138.255
        ether 00:a0:c9:2c:aa:5c

        supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 
          100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 

and...

  fxp1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.10.138.224 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 10.10.138.255

        supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 
          10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP

Here's what I get with a "netstat -rn"

Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif Expire
default            10.10.138.193      UGSc        4        0      fxp0
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0        0       lo0
10.10.138.192/26   link#2             UC          0        0
10.10.138.224      0:a0:c9:d1:e3:cc   UHLW        0       22       lo0    


Am I missing something?  Why is the IP address 10.10.138.224 getting
snagged by the fxp0? How do I block that?

Uh, with your Cap'n Woodchuck decoder ring? [ sorry, couldn't resist...]

There's just too many things it could be. Mail me the first few
dozen lines, and I'll give you a diagnosis.

Maybe trying "file name-of-the-file" will tell you enough.

I have used linux slackware in the past and I really enjoyed the colored
directories when it would boot up.  I noticed when I booted a different
shell it was back to black and white but the command "bash -login" would
start up bash with color enabled.  Do you know how to set this color shell
on FreeBSD?

Has anyone actually used the /dev/ch device and chio utility?
With what hardware?

I was just looking at the Plextor MegaPlex 200-disk CD changer, 
and I'd hate to think I might be wandering into completely 
uncharted territory...

Thanks,

Don't rename it.  Word can read RTF files.  You will find, however,
that even though Microsoft invented RTF, many of their products do not
handle it correctly.  You might want to find out about Applixware and
StarOffice, too.

As someone alluded to, but should have explicitly stated:
Intel will soon discontinue production of the PentiumPro.  I'd
negotiate a lower price based on that.  And if they won't go lower, I'd
just find either a >300 MHz AMD-K6-2, or a multi-processor moboard
using the PII.  And if you do get the PPro, I'd keep an eye open for
spares... Otherwise, a CPU failure would render the moboard useless...

See http://www.daemonnews.org/news.html#freebsd_news for further proof
that NT is NOT appropriate for ISP use.
Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.

In my experience, it is caused by something
wrong with the cable, connector, hub not
turned on etc.

Try
   network_interfaces="fxp1 fxp0 lo0"      # List of network interfaces 
   ifconfig_fxp1="inet 10.10.138.224  netmask 255.255.255.192"

Note the use of _alias and the netmask on fxp0

Well, those are domain names, not URLs.  A URL also includes at least
a service (telnet, http, ftp).

To set domain names, you need to frob your DNS configuration.  I'm
guessing that you're not running your own DNS, so you'll have to find
who is.  For example, for your mail domain, you would say

   $ whois twu.edu

   Registrant:
   Texas Woman's University (TWU-DOM)
      P.O. Box 425798
      Denton, TX 76204

I'm not really sure what you mean by this question.  Can you expand?

But it's not exactly the FreeBSD way of doing things.

Even with a very high speed link, it still takes time to get the data,
and you still need somewhere to store it.  I find the CDs very
convenient.  And yes, AFAIK there are some things on the CDs which
aren't on the ftp sites.
