Order NOW! *********************** *WHY IS THIS POSSIBLE?* *********************** There are many mail-order companies who want to expand with a company who needs home workers. Each member is an independent home worker. You serve a company that pays good commissions to help their business, but do not want to hire more people. If they hired more employees, they would have to supervise them, rent more office space, pay more taxes and insurance, all involving more paperwork. It is much easier for them to set it up so that independent home workers can earn money doing the work themselves. This program is designed to help people cash in with a company who needs more home workers. This program has been perfected so that is has become one of the most successful and profitable ones ever. We invite you to take part in our success. The money you earn is up to you. We do not require that you mail a certain number of pieces each week. You can take on whatever amount of business that fits your schedule, and you can quit whenever you want. There are no obligations. This work mainly consists of the securing of envelopes. ALL BUSINESS can be done by MAIL and we give you complete assistance at every step to insure your success. You can START THE SAME DAY you receive the instructions and begin RECEIVING YOUR MONEY WITHIN TWO WEEKS and every week from then on as long as you desire. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. Envelopes will already be stamped and addressed. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ GUARANTEE: We welcome you to this program and extend to you our unconditional guarantee that everything we have said about this program is true and that you will be delighted with the money you make.

I am going to run my own nameserver for a local network. Another reason is, that sendmail complains the dynamic IP-address I've got from my provider after a connect. Running the nameserver helps a lot, sendmail now gets a hostname for the IP address without redialing to the provider. In my host.conf file i have: hosts bind My resolv.conf looks like: nameserver my_ip_address nameserver my_providers_ip_address When booting, the system 'hangs' for a long time after the network devices have been configured. It not really hangs, it tries to resolv the addresses of the static routes. (route thor.wnet localhost etc.) I thought that it should use the hosts file instead, because named is not running at that early time. The only way to bring it to normal behavior is to comment out my own nameserver from resolv.conf. What is wrong ?

We are a local provider and we have run into some troubles (not the first time) with FreeBSD, which we could not resolve ourselves. We hope that someone will help us. 1) How can one connect FreeBSD system with Win95 system via Ethernet. The connection must allow Win95 user to do telnet, ftp, http and all other things to the FreeBSD machine. Of course, it would be nice to have some file shares on the FreeBSD machine which could be accessed from Win95 machine. But it is more of a NFS question. 2) How can we split trafic and send different portions of it into different interfaces? I will explain now. For example, we have a DIal-up machine. The users on that machine can work on line with the whole internet and also send e-mail. And we have to physical communication channel connected to the machine: 1) one 28800 2) and one 9600 We want all on-line/other work go through the 28800 channel and all smtp mail go through 9600 interface. At the moment we have no idea how to do it. Of course, there is a way with tweeking MX records, which will reqire installing one more machine. But that is not what we REALLY want. We want something more flexible) 3) This is one could seem a bit weird. In /var/log there is a file "mailstat" It has write permission set for the whole world. The same story with files in archived mailstat dir. We base out mail accounting system on those files and we do not want other people to change them. We need to know for sure that if we clear write permission for the whole world for those file nothing bad will happen. What daemon writes to those files ? And if it is impossible to change the attribute without something bad happen, what can we do to account for mail safely and reliably ? Thank you. Any comments would be appriciated.

Yes. You can use /stand/sysinstall's post installation menu to fdisk, label and newfs the DOS partition or enter the corresponding commands from the commandline.

Experiment with your entries in /etc/hosts - you may need to put a '.' at the end of the name, so for example, if I am x.y.z, on IP i.i.i.i, I'd need i.i.i.i x.y.z. x. i.i.i.i x.y.z x Having said that, you're better off always using IP numbers in rc.conf - never names. > Thanks, > Henning > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > Henning Wickhorst > Elmshorn, Germany E-Mail: h.wickhorst@elmshorn.netsurf.de > ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Brian , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

Obviously names will work once named is running but IP addresses will always work.

Your best bet is to monitor the line (set log +tcp/ip) and try to figure out the difference between packets that you do and don't want to trigger dialing. If there's no difference, I'm afraid you're sunk - can't have your cake & eat it. Personally, I don't give named a named.root. I just use forwarders x.x.x.x y.y.y.y options forward-only Where x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y are my ISPs cache nameservers. > Thanks, > Henning > > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > Henning Wickhorst > Elmshorn, Germany E-Mail: h.wickhorst@elmshorn.netsurf.de > ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Brian , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

At the moment Hmm. I'd use a Smarter Host entry in sendmail.cf and add a static route to that host going through the 9600 connection. Set the Smarter Host to your upstream's SMTP host. > 3) This is one could seem a bit weird.

If Enlightenment is given no switches, it uses the theme 'DEFAULT', which should be in /usr/local/lib/enlightenment/themes. As installed, this is a gzipped tarball, which should be extracted automatically, but the tar command line doesn't work with FreeBSD tar. (Tar assumes you want to use the tape drive if it isn't given a file name.) This can be fixed by using GNU tar, but it is probably better to keep the themes unarchived - it's faster to start up and it doesn't leave loads of stuff in /tmp. -- Michael Searle - csubl@csv.warwick.ac.uk From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 29 16:03:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA20846 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 29 Jun 1997 16:03:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bsd.fs.bauing.th-darmstadt.de (bsd.fs.bauing.th-darmstadt.de [130.83.63.241]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA20841 for ; Sun, 29 Jun 1997 16:03:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from panke.panke.de (anonymous214.ppp.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.17.214]) by bsd.fs.bauing.th-darmstadt.de (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA03307; Mon, 30 Jun 1997 01:02:55 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from wosch@localhost) by panke.panke.de (8.8.5/8.6.12) id XAA00198; Sun, 29 Jun 1997 23:17:29 +0200 (MET DST) To: Shawn Ramsey Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: su adduser References: From: Wolfram Schneider Date: 29 Jun 1997 23:17:27 +0200 In-Reply-To: Shawn Ramsey's message of Fri, 27 Jun 1997 12:36:43 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: Lines: 12 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Shawn Ramsey writes: > I need to do something like the following : > su root -c 'addcust $1' > Is it possible to do something like that, and call this command from a > file such as : > > ./command username-to-add See the pw(8) command. -- Wolfram Schneider http://www.apfel.de/~wosch/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 29 16:34:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA21789 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 29 Jun 1997 16:34:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sand.sentex.ca (sand.sentex.ca [206.222.77.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA21784 for ; Sun, 29 Jun 1997 16:34:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gravel (gravel.sentex.ca [205.211.165.210]) by sand.sentex.ca (8.8.5/8.8.3) with SMTP id TAA13879; Sun, 29 Jun 1997 19:39:36 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <3.0.2.32.19970629193516.00a95100@sentex.net> X-Sender: mdtancsa@sentex.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.2 (32) Date: Sun, 29 Jun 1997 19:35:16 -0400 To: dan , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Mike Tancsa Subject: Re: WU-FTPD Patches In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk At 04:56 PM 6/29/97 -0400, dan wrote: > >I tried a number of search engines but was unable to track down the >virtual ftp patches for wuftpd.

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

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

I had a similar problem. When everything was installed my ppp connection was great. But when I wanted to do an upgrade install, I had all sorts of problems ranging from getting garbage during my interaction with the modem to the connection dying at various stages during the transfer. What I did was keep a copy of the modem string that I used to connect (ATE1Q0), and give these two commands at the ppp prompt: disable lqr deny lqr This seemed to fix the problem because I had a successful upgrade install yesterday and am happily running 2.2-970618-RELENG. So what I would do in your shoes is make sure that you are using the same methodology that you use to connect to your ISP normally when you try to do the FTP install with regard to commands you send to the modem and such. -Reggie From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 29 22:45:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA05705 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 29 Jun 1997 22:45:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from obie.softweyr.ml.org ([199.104.124.49]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA05699 for ; Sun, 29 Jun 1997 22:45:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from wes@localhost) by obie.softweyr.ml.org (8.7.5/8.6.12) id XAA08449; Sun, 29 Jun 1997 23:50:21 -0600 (MDT) Date: Sun, 29 Jun 1997 23:50:21 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <199706300550.XAA08449@obie.softweyr.ml.org> From: Wes Peters To: Gianmarco Giovannelli CC: questions@freebsd.org, gea@scotty.masternet.it Subject: touch screens & FreeBSD In-Reply-To: <3.0.2.32.19970628155637.006c07c4@giovannelli.it> References: <3.0.2.32.19970628155637.006c07c4@giovannelli.it> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Gianmarco Giovannelli writes: > Is there someone that is using succesfully touch screens with freebsd.

I happen to know that it is because otherwise I wouldn't be able to boot my fs'es on sd0, and in fact it says: ======> begin dmesg output <============= Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: ahc0 rev 0 int a irq 10 on pci0:8 ahc0: aic7880 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahc0:0:0): "QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3200S 300X" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 3067MB (6281856 512 byte sectors) (ahc0:1:0): "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-5701TA 3136" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ahc0:1:0): CD-ROM cd present [257675 x 2048 byte records] (ahc0:5:0): "SyQuest EZ230S 6722" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd1(ahc0:5:0): Direct-Access 220MB (450560 512 byte sectors) ======> end dmesg output <============= There it is - /dev/sd1. Abandoning the thought of /stand/sysinstall I chose to use disklabel instead. I overwrote the first 512 sectors using dd, then did a "disklabel -Brw sd1 auto" (at which it complained about an "invalid primary partition table"; on a second try it remained quiet) and then did a "disklabel -e sd1". It reported the following: ======> begin disklabel output <=========== # /dev/rsd1c: type: unknown disk: label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 107 tracks/cylinder: 1 sectors/cylinder: 107 cylinders: 4210 sectors/unit: 450560 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 3 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 450560 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4210*) ======> end disklabel output <============= I tried to add an entry at the end for a FreeBSD slice "e", spanning the whole of "c" and looking like the following: =========================================== 3 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 450560 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4210*) e: 450560 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - 4210*) =========================================== Now disklabel complains about a "bad partition name in line 23" which happens to be the line with the new "e" partition. Three Questions: (1) What's Wrong with /stand/sysinstall? (2) What am I doing wrong with disklabel? (i.e. Do I have reason to feel silly?) (3) If /stand/sysinstall can't be fixed: is there any other way to quick'n'dirty initialize a disk for FreeBSD? Oh, and BTW: Can I use 4.4LFS filesystems, what is the difference/advantage over 4.2BSD and what consequences do I have to dread? ;) Hoping I specified my problem in enough detail...

I can not do anything on the web from my FreeBSD machine (486/75 w/2.2.1). I have iijppp to do an -auto dial. This has worked for several months now. I made no changes to the ppp.conf file nor any other that I am aware of. Starting at about 2 PM on Saturday, I could not ping or do anything on the web. PPP dials out (when it sees a TCP packet) and links and I get assigned an IP address. And then exactly one minute later, I get the follow error: (Iglou.com) HDLC errors -> FCS: 1 ADDR: 0 COMD: 0 PROTO: 0 If I dial in using my other ISP, I get: (Concentric.net) HDLC errors -> FCS: 0 ADDR: 0 COMD: 0 PROTO: 1 As I said, both worked before 2PM on Saturday. To be specific, if I ping anything (including my hisaddr), almost none of the packets come back. I do get an occasional one return (96% packet loss on average) with a time of about 900ms which is about 3.5 times as long as it usually takes! Using lynx, I get "looking for host..." and then nothing. Ditto with XFMail "Resolving name..." I can dial out and use the net when I boot with Win 95 with no problem. So I don't think the hardware is the problem. Any hints or helps? It's difficult to work like this! (I hate aol).

All access is via the ft program. man ft. Do yourself a favor and dump this floppy tape device. It won't work worth a damn on any unix. Any cheap, supported, (even PIO types) scsi controller plus an old QIC 150 drive (available for <$100 on the surplus market) will set up a system where you will actually do backups. If you stay with the floppy tape, things will be so painful you will fall far behind on your backups. The controller that comes with scsi zip drives comes to mind (if you don't mind mounting the QIC 150 internally). Better still is to get a reasonable scsi controller and slowly migrate to all scsi, dumping the IDE mess as well. > Sorry about this week's f..l..o..w of questions :) I will try to make this one > of my last, after upgrading to 2.2-stable anyway :) > -- M.

I suspect some permission problems but I can't resolve them mysels. Directory /cgi-bin/ has a 755 permission and so the counter.cgi file. 2. I have a pppd working on 4 com ports with 33.6 modems on them. The files /etc/ppp/options.ttydX has something like XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, and this ip addresses is different for all ttyd's. This works. My users can login to system at all modems simultaneously. But. In /var/log/messages I always see strings like pppd 2.2.0 started by ds, uid 1024 Connect pppd <--> ttydX Local IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX remote IP address YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY setsockopt (IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP RIP): Address already in use punt RTM_ADD without gateway No matching compression scheme, CCP disabled ... and so on.

Pleading for them to write in special support for old, outdated, or funkily designed hardware is not likely to get very far. By and large they don't view this as a very good use of their time. Most people come to realize that they have a good point when they think about it for awhile. We are not Linux and don't want to be. When we arrive at that conclusion, we just dump our old screwball hardware and get some good stuff. (Or give it to the wife to use on her wordprocessing Win95 box. Want my old QIC80 tape drive? You can have it if you pay the shipping cost.) If you can't generate interest, then you are on your own. Which is how most of the active developers got started in the first place, I believe.

To say nothing of the fact that I found those floppy based qic-80 tapes to be about as reliable as a floppy disk with a magnet sitting on it. After spending hours to back up moderate sized hard drives, it's pretty depressing when you discover that the tape that you did the backups on won't restore. Unfortunately most of those drives are too light to use as bookends.

I >would appreciate any input on this topic. My fBSD machine is all scsi. In my area I pay about very roughly about 20% or so more for scsi devices, except tape drives, scsi tape drives are quite a bit more than non-scsi devices for some reason. I don't have a tape drive on my machine though. Heres the breakdown: The machine is a 486/133 w/64M ram that I had laying around. Adaptec Vesa host adapter: $130 Quantum Fireball 2.1 Gig (on sale) 220 Seagate 1 gig 180 Teac 4X CDROM 100 E2000 ethernet adapter 20 All scsi, all working fine. The Seagate and the teac are over a year old, so the prices, especially the teac, are going to be less. So I put this box together for under 800 I guess. 2.2.1 installs like a champ on this setup. Oh yeah, add an old ATI Mach32 video adapter I had and Xwindows is a snap too. -Tim From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 30 09:33:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA02672 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 30 Jun 1997 09:33:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from beowulf.utmb.edu (beowulf.utmb.edu [129.109.59.83]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA02666 for ; Mon, 30 Jun 1997 09:33:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bdodson@localhost) by beowulf.utmb.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA04840; Mon, 30 Jun 1997 11:31:02 -0500 (CDT) Date: Mon, 30 Jun 1997 11:31:02 -0500 (CDT) From: "M.

There was a flurry of interest a couple of months ago about a new access program, (driver?), but I haven't heard of it supplanting the ft program, so I guess it is still experimental or a well kept secret. That is why I suggested that you start out with the IOMEGA, which I think is just a stripped down Adaptec 1520, at least NT sees it as such. No external connector, and it is PIO, so you don't get any scsi advantage except reliability. I think it is ~$40 if you buy it without the scsi zip (which, by the way, is really pretty competitive with a lowend tape drive. And you can use it just like a 95MB tape drive. If the cartridge prices are really cheap in your locality, it might pay to consider it instead of a tape drive.) >As I plan to make my next computer all SCSI, can I change > the subject and ask this: If I were to get computer A instead of computer > B below, what (approximately) would be the price difference? > > A B > SCSI 3.1GB HD EIDE 3.1GB HD I'm going to guess (may be wildly wrong) $300 > SCSI CD-ROM IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM I know that one. $100 (local Houston price, both at the same vendor). 12X ATAPI vs 8X SCSI, but effective thoughput speed should be about the same. > SCSI Tape Drive IDE/ATAPI Tape (do they exist?)

It won't have a BIOS at that price, but your motherboard may have one.

It worked my CD-ROM is recognized.) and I am trying to install it on a DEC 545 wide SCSI HD. I go through the pertition excercise and then the lable doohicky. I set up the partitions and give everything names. Then the program asks what I want to install. I give it what I want and it goes through it's hoops and finally I get to the configuration for XFree86. Now, I should mention that this is the farthest I have ever gotten so I was a bit excited. I was actually able to install some of the ports and packages. After everything is said and done and it tells me to reboot, the system boots into Win95. I attempt to look for the FreeBSD partition and I am not able to find it. I try using OS-BS boot manager and I am only able to see the Win95 partition.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all Although a bit off-topic, here you are my question: I'd like to be able to control (ie: executing programs on it) a DOS + win3.1 box (let's call it A) via another machine (running FreeBSD or DOS, let's call it B). The connection beetween A and B can be ethernet or a more complex one, ie: A - ethernet - gateway - telephone line - B (but I don't think this can be a problem since one can use tcp and netbios over tcp). In Unix terms, the DOS pc should allow a sort of rlogin or telnet. This is because it happens often that I have to troubleshoot box A, which is at the other end of the building or at the other end of the town.

I would like to help to test the installation problems. I have seen that, sometimes, the installation process does not work as it should, v. gr., In the Walnut Creek CD of FreeBSD v. 2.2.2 the apache web server provided with the disc is not the same that the one that is set in the installation program. The installation program still configures the directory "/usr/local/www/cgi_bin" as the the one that receives the "cgi" programs, BUT it should be "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin" The installation program still configures the apache web server in the directory "/usr/local/www/server/conf" and it should be "/usr/local/etc/apache". The file "/etc/login.conf" is missing, and the system complains everytime somebody tries to login. Root should create this file containing, at least: ------------------------- root: default: ------------------------- What do I have to do to be a "tester" ?

I am sure one of the core members of the FreeBSD project will respond to this but here is my two cents worth. Download FreeBSD. Use FreeBSD. Send your problem reports via send-pr. Voila... You are now a tester. IMHO, FreeBSD is a community effort. The core members rely on users to provide input and report problems. This list that you have posted to is comprised entirely of users who volunteer their time to write answers. I am a volunteer as well. All you need to do to test FreeBSD is go to it. If I recall, there is a TO-DO list that is available in case you are feeling really ambitous.

My Plextor CD is multisession compatible. Over the last few months I had three Kodak brand PCD disks burned at a local service bureau, where they burn the disks on site. Each disk was created seperately using a new blank disk each time; none of the images were appended to any previous disks. The first two disks fine, all images are accessible. With the third disk, I had 60 images scanned onto it, but when I tried to view it, I only could see the first two images. I brought the disk back to the service bureau, and all 60 images were there, 'it had to be my system' they said. It seems that they scanned in the first two images, then for what ever reason, closed the session. The other 58 images that were added in the following sessions are not visible. They copied the "multisession" disk, which created a new "single session" disk, and all is well. I saw that there was some discussion on this subject on -hackers about one year ago. My question; Whats the current status on reading these multisession disks on FreeBSD 2.2.n-R?

Best Regards.

Message-ID: X-X-Sender: jroberts@mail.ashland.edu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, everyone. I've had about 50% success with my dial-out situation. I've taken the best suggestions from *Pedantic*, various FAQs, the Handbook, and feedback from people on this list. I've been using ppp -auto foo route add default 10.0.1.2 to connect to foo. Sometimes it works without a hitch, and sometimes (like the last couple of days), after connecting, the connection is dropped after about 10 seconds. However, I can still connect from Warp, so I know it's not the remote host. What about this "10.0.1.2"? Could specifying *this* as the default route (my provider dynamically assigns my IP address after connecting) be part of the problem. Is there one that's fail-safe? I just took this, I think, from the Handbook. I was under the impression that the assigned IP address would overwrite the one I specified, or something along those lines. When I do PPP manually, I get "dial OK" and then "switching to packet mode". Then, the connection dies. I'm dialing out of 2.2.1 on a USR Sportster (gasp!) 14400. My machine is not connected to any network. When it works, it works great, BTW. I evidentally just need to find a way to consistently get an acceptable default route. Thanks for any suggestions/advice you can give me! =) I appreciate it.

Building the China Trade First, the block of unassigned (private) C-class addresses is 192.168.x.x. Next, what you're looking for is generally called IP aliasing or NAT (Network Address Translation). If you're using a dial-up connection on your FreeBSD machine, read the ppp tutorial at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp.html If not (i.e. you have a fixed connection adn a router, and you use FreeBSD as an internal router or as a firewall), take a look at the IP aliasing tutorial, as well as the docs for natd.

Make sure that ~/.xsession (if it exists) is executeable. Also take a look at .xsession-errors (or .xdm-errors if it doesn't even get around to starting xsession for some reason).

I'm certain this *must* be a FAQ somewhere! Your login has failed for some reason, probably something started by xdm or your X session file. Login on one of the text consoles and look at the file .xdm-errors in your root directory, this is a log of the attempted xdm session. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

The route command is definitely bogus, and isn't in any of the documentation I know of any more. Go to http://www.awfulhak.org/ppp.html. There's a pointer to the -current ppp.conf and ppp.linkup from there. Try the "pmdemand" example, it should work fine. If you're still experiencing problems, Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/ppp-2.2-970629.tar.gz and post/mail me the log file after a "set log +lcp".

Trying to do this--talk to my office computer from home, when it was running dos/win3.1--was a major factor in my decision to try FreeBSD. There are a number of software packages generally designed to be run on both the host and the remote--PCAnywhere, LapLink, Close-UP, and ProComm Plus ("be a host pc") are four of them. Generally, the 3.1 box you want to reach (the remote) has to be running the software, usually from Windows. Since 3.1 is such a poor multi-tasker, it often gets hung up; and even a program with a feature to "always reboot on disconnect" (PCAnywhere has this) will not always work. You need to be able to do a hard reboot (power interrupt) remotely (I never established this capability; it was fairly expensive when I looked into it). It is a nightmare.

My machine is not complicated, and all the devices work under the generic kernel that comes with fbsd 2.2.1. I rebuilt the kernel and when I try to boot up with it I get this error: mgetty fatal: aa1 mod: cannot open line /dev/cuaa1 mgetty fatal: aa1 open device /dev/cuaa1 failed mgetty fatal: aa1 cannot get terminal line exiting This will repeat until I reboot. The booting proccess will stop with another message about "something happening too quickly" and sleeps for 30 seconds. I pretty sure that is the order that the error messages come in. My box has a 28.8 modem that works fine using term in user ppp mode, though I want to put kernel ppp to work. Here is a copy of my kernel configuration file. I appreciate any input.

(Attached is my configuration file.) What I know to be wrong concerns the CD-ROM. The GENERIC kernel works fine. With my kernel, I get the following error whenever I try to mount the CD-ROM: cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Device not configured I know the correct file has been made in /dev. I've tried comparing to LINT , GENERIC, and my old file that came from 2.1.5. Please put this tired dog to rest; point out where I when wrong in my file. All replies will be greatly appreciated.

The host adapters are listed in the ISA and PCI # device configuration sections below. # # Beginning with FreeBSD 2.0.5 you can wire down your SCSI devices so # that a given bus, target, and LUN always come on line as the same # device unit. In earlier versions the unit numbers were assigned # in the order that the devices were probed on the SCSI bus. This # means that if you removed a disk drive, you may have had to rewrite # your /etc/fstab file, and also that you had to be careful when adding # a new disk as it may have been probed earlier and moved your device # configuration around. # This old behavior is maintained as the default behavior. The unit # assignment begins with the first non-wired down unit for a device # type. For example, if you wire a disk as "sd3" then the first # non-wired disk will be assigned sd4. # The syntax for wiring down devices is: # controller scbus0 at ahc0 # Single bus device # controller scbus1 at ahc1 bus 0 # Single bus device # controller scbus3 at ahc2 bus 0 # Twin bus device # controller scbus2 at ahc2 bus 1 # Twin bus device # disk sd0 at scbus0 target 0 unit 0 # disk sd1 at scbus3 target 1 # disk sd2 at scbus2 target 3 # tape st1 at scbus1 target 6 # device cd0 at scbus? # "units" (SCSI logical unit number) that are not specified are # treated as if specified as LUN 0. # All SCSI devices allocate as many units as are required. # The "unknown" device (uk? in pre-2.0.5) is now part of the base SCSI # configuration and doesn't have to be explicitly configured. #controller scbus0 #base SCSI code #device ch0 #SCSI media changers #device sd0 #SCSI disks #device st0 #SCSI tapes #device cd0 #SCSI CD-ROMs # XXX # The `od' driver is unsupported in 2.1-stable.

Fry's Electronics, its a California Bay Area phenomenon I think. They will send you a catalog though, let me get a number and I will post it. They have a rep for bad customer service, they hire kids and welfare types that have ZERO% knowledge of the products they are trying to sell, but they generally have the most at the lowest under one roof. I go elswhere for motherboards though, I've had bad luck with the mb's they seem to want to carry. Got my quantum fireball there though and that seemed to me to be a good price. -Tim From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 1 08:28:32 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id IAA04095 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 08:28:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from horton.iaces.com (root@horton.iaces.com [204.147.87.98]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA04088 for ; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 08:28:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from proot@localhost) by horton.iaces.com (8.8.5/8.8.4) id KAA02685; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 10:28:18 -0500 (CDT) From: "Paul T.

Other than the couple of things below, it looks ok. Maybe your source tree is corrupt or missing some things. Personally, I delete the things that I'm not using, it makes it easier to read the config.
