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.

Smile when you say that! Fry's is a good place to buy -- there are 5 of them down here in LA/Orange C as well. However, it is true that it is 'buyer know your stuff!'. They are very good about taking back incompatible stuff, no questions asked, if you include all the packaging etc. I would NOT recommend them for mail order, though. There are better places. I buy from Motherboard Express in the midwest, also Treasure Chest in the deep south has given me *exceptional* service. One thing that Fry's WILL do to you is sell you a stripped motherboard. For example, I have bought several Iwill/Quick Tech P55TV boards from both TC and Fry's, and the ones from Fry's did not come with the CPU fan or any of the other accessories -- and the price was higher. Another little devious trick Fry's will do is to sell you the so-called 'OEM' package of something... which basically means that after 3 days you are stuck with the manufacturer for support. Read the sales slip on that disk drive you mention, they do it a lot with the WD drives and Adaptec controllers as well. All this said, however, the beauty of Fry's is that the prices are screaming low -- enough to usually counter the high 8.75% sales tax -- and you can walk in and walk out immediately with top quality computer hardware in less than an hour. (that is, if you go there on a weekday morning. It's a total zoo any other time!) You just have to know what you're doing. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 1 09:08:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA06242 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 09:08:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from jason05.u.washington.edu (root@jason05.u.washington.edu [140.142.78.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA06237 for ; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 09:08:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from saul6.u.washington.edu (root@saul6.u.washington.edu [140.142.82.1]) by jason05.u.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW97.04/8.8.4+UW97.05) with ESMTP id JAA17870; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 09:08:36 -0700 Received: from s5-25-199.student.washington.edu (S5-25-199.student.washington.edu [128.95.25.199]) by saul6.u.washington.edu (8.8.4+UW97.04/8.8.4+UW97.04) with SMTP id JAA23496; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 09:08:35 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <3.0.2.32.19970701161103.007b6100@jcwells.deskmail.washington.edu> X-Sender: jcwells@jcwells.deskmail.washington.edu X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.2 (32) Date: Tue, 01 Jul 1997 16:11:03 +0000 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG, qjak9435@netcom.ca From: Jason Wells Subject: Re: FreeBSD installation failure In-Reply-To: <199707011338.IAA06386@beowulf.utmb.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >Does anyone know why have emails with this kind of "format" are >considered "cool"? > >Bud Dodson Maybe it has something to do with AOL?

The key to finding these # is to look at the semiconductor mfr's site for the CPU: Intel or Sun or Ross or Fujitsu as appropriate. Basically, a PPro is very close to a Sparc or HP8000 in INT testing, cache size aside, but floating point is still way behind. If your app is general UNIX stuff, stick with Intel for price and replaceability (and FreeBSD!), but if you must have bleeding edge CAD or visualisation, HP or Sun are still faster. Ask yourself if 2 seats of Dell Poweredge PC's with GLint hardware (still slightly slower) are better than 1 Sun or HP 700 that the same money would buy, and most of us will say yes! -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 1 10:07:19 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA08733 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 10:07:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from jmb@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA08719; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 10:07:14 -0700 (PDT) From: "Jonathan M.

I've running 2.2.1-RELEASE of FreeBSD. I need to start slattach with slip unit 1 (sl1). The slattach (or ifconfig) works strange. The command I use to run slattach (named start_sl1) is: /sbin/slattach -a -h -r "" -s 38400 -u /etc/ifconfig_if.sl1 -S 1 /dev/cuaa0 And the /etc/ifconfig_if.sl1 (modified from /usr/share/examples/slattach/unit-command.sh) looks like: ############################################################# #!/bin/sh old_unit=$1 new_unit=$2 if [ $old_unit != -1 ]; then ifconfig sl$old_unit delete down fi if [ $new_unit != -1 ]; then ifconfig sl$new_unit 194.93.177.2 195.114.158.252 fi ############################################################# When I just invoke `start_sl1' (and nothing more): `netstat -rn' says: 195.114.158.252 194.93.177.2 UH 0 116 sl1 `ifconfig -a' says: sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 sl1: flags=c011 mtu 552 inet 194.93.177.2 --> 195.114.158.252 netmask 0xffffff00 sl2: flags=c010 mtu 552 sl3: flags=c010 mtu 552 Everything seems ok, right? BUT.... When I use the following command: sh -c "start_sl1; ifconfig sl1", I receive: `netstat -rn' says: 195.114.158.252 194.93.177.2 UH 0 0 sl1 `ifconfig -a' says: sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 inet 194.93.177.2 --> 195.114.158.252 netmask 0xffffff00 sl1: flags=c010 mtu 552 sl2: flags=c010 mtu 552 sl3: flags=c010 mtu 552 `netstat -in' says: sl1* 552 277 0 0 0 0 sl1* 552 194.93.177 194.93.177.2 277 0 0 0 0 sl0* 552 933 0 131 0 0 sl2* 552 0 0 0 0 0 sl3* 552 0 0 0 0 0 I think the problem in `ifconfig' or `if_sl.c', because when I manually run ifconfig on sl1, information actually saved to sl0 (sometimes in sl2 and sl3). So, when I inkove just `ifconfig sl1' when the sl1 isn't yet in `slip discipline', the ifconfig (or slattach) uses wrong slip unit. The questions is: did you seen this and HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

I have two ISP, one of which running FreeBSD and assign static IP to all users. For connection I'm using ppp by Toshiharu OHNO. Playing wiht /etc/ppp/ppp.conf I'm found amazing (for me) feature. This is string from ppp.conf: add ifaddr a.b.c.d 0 So, remote server can use any IP and my IP should be a.b.c.d If instesd of a.b.c.d I substitute real IP of one of my ISP server I can declare myself as another machine. During such connection I have received a lot of mail which is not intended to be mine. I think skilful hacker can use this in another way. So, how ISP can avoid such unproper connections? pss // Sergey Pukach // pss@te.net.ua From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 1 13:00:22 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA17614 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 13:00:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tor-srs2.netcom.ca (tor-srs2.netcom.ca [207.93.1.164]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA17601 for ; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 13:00:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from default (DrkMan@ott-on4-09.netcom.ca [207.181.90.201]) by tor-srs2.netcom.ca (8.8.5/NETCOM) id PAA13237; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 15:59:43 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199707011959.PAA13237@tor-srs2.netcom.ca> From: "qjak9435" To: Subject: FreeBSD installation failure Date: Tue, 1 Jul 1997 15:54:02 -0700 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm writing you today because for about a week now I've been trying to install FreeBSD on my system. I am installing it from a recent cd-rom media edition 2.2.2 release. Ok, lets start off with the problem. When I boot from my cd-rom to enter the installation stage everything starts out fine. It boots up the kernel successfully and brings me to the next step which is the kernel configuration table. From there, I have 3 choices. I always choose the visual mode for kernel entry modifications. Next, I arrive at another screen that is my userconfig table and here's the problem. At the top of the screen it tells me that I have 23 device conflicts. Now, it seems, my only choice is to reconfigure every device to avoid conflicts. So, what I decided to do next is disable any drivers in the active range of the list that aren't present in my system. Then, alter the drivers parameters in the editor table. After, I pressed the q key to save the parameters and exit. Then, I was presented with a type of menu describing the type of installation I wanted. I chose the novice installation as recommended. Now, I have a dialog box telling me that the operating system was installed with errors and that I should go trough the debugging process of VTY1. I don't have a clue of what VTY1 debugging means. I also need to mention that at some point during the installation I encountered two panic incidents that forced my system to shutdown. The two panic strings that were caught: signal 10 and 11. Ok, my questions are as follows: 1) How do I use the VTY1 debugging mode? 2) Is there some way to avoid having to reconfigure every device on my system? 3) What do these panics represent? I hope I gave you all the details needed to help me resolve the problems. If you need more details or info please feel free to email. Thank you for your time and understanding.

If you have an /etc/hosts file with these names in it, and the system is configured to use /etc/hosts before DNS (on my 2.1.0 system, this is in /etc/hosts.conf), then there shouldn't be any problem. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."

I've got the Design of the 4.3 BSD UNIX system book. Is the 4.4 book more useful for FreeBSD? Any pointers or suggestions? I checked the tutorial referenced on the documentation page, but it was mostly empty.

The drive was found and identified properly during boot, and was even selectable during the partition step, but showed no partition information. This drive works just fine with 2.1-RELEASE currently (mounting the drive as /dev/sd0a). This behavior is (obviously?) the same whether I choose a custom installation or an upgrade. This drive has been in the system for quite some time, and I believe that I had to work around this same problem when I upgraded to 2.1-Release (fdisk and disklabel output included below). Basically, I would like to know if there is a way to fix this problem so that the upgrade process will work properly (hopefully without needing to erase the data that is currently on the drive). I believe that this may be a problem with the fdisk partitioning of this drive, but am not for sure. Is this the expected behavior of the partition/label options? Any help is appreciated. Here is the output of "fdisk sd0" from 2.1-R: ******* Working on device /dev/rsd0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=2075 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=2075 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: The data for partition 1 is: The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 0, size 4251648 (2076 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 1023/ sector 32/ head 63 ------ And this is the disklabel: # /dev/rsd0c: type: SCSI disk: fuji291 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 32 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 2048 cylinders: 2076 sectors/unit: 4251648 rpm: 7200 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 4119551 131072 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 64 - 2075*) b: 131072 0 swap # (Cyl. 0 - 63) c: 4251648 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 2075) -- Anthony Fleisher System Administrator InfoStructure Ashland, Oregon Voice: (541)488-1962 Fax: (541)488-7599 From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 1 14:11:26 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA21190 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 14:11:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nscfw.iafrica.com (ZlZm8l8VX/oW5zCc0StaPwIQM2WJ0o8H@nscfw.iafrica.com [196.31.1.121]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA21184 for ; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 14:11:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bradh by nscfw.iafrica.com with smtp (Exim 1.60 #2) id 0wjAC9-0006WP-00; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 23:10:41 +0200 Date: Tue, 1 Jul 1997 23:10:41 +0200 (SAT) From: Brad Hendrickse To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Saving the configuration of 'ipfw' 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 there, as you can tell from the subject, I'm wanting to know if it's possible to save the configuration of 'ipfw'.

If you still have conflicts after visual config, you likely have real conflicts or irq number, port address, etc. Make sure that you don't have these.

Fix: If you have the source distribution installed, simply cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc otherwise, mount the 2nd CDROM and copy it from the live filesystem (cp /cdrom/usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc) instead. o sysconfig scrambles rc.conf if run again. Fix: Get updated /usr/src from RELENG_2_2 branch and build /usr/src/release/sysinstall, copying the new binary to /stand. If you do not have enough space for src then you could also use the boot/fixit floppy combo from a later 2.2-YYMMDD-RELENG release to simply mount your root partition (using the Fixit option) and copy /stand/sysinstall from the floppy to /stand on your root fs. It will end your problems.

Thus, a first step is really to find out about your hardware-- from Microsoft's msd, from the hardware manuals, or whatever. For example, I have a SCSI controller card at a "330" location.

Thus, any book describing BSD UNIX is directly applicable to FreeBSD. FreeBSD also has a more controlled upgrade path, and more effort is spent (thank you, guys!) on closing security holes that affect commercial users like myself who actually stake our businesses on it. Another plus of FreeBSD is that it (in 2.2.x and up), is also very good at emulating Linux and BSDi, soi you can compile and run a wide variety of different programs. On the Linux plus-side is the tremendous popular charismatic following that it has. People always root for the single guy in the garage to beat out all comers. There are more books written specifically for Linux users than there are for FreeBSD (and probably ALL Other *NIX's combined!). There are also several commercially-supported distributions of Linux out there (Caldera and Red Hat, to name 2). I am totally satisfied with the robustness and the support that I have gotten from FreeBSD and the FreeBSD community. I have examined Linux as well, and although I think it functions almost as well, almost just doesn't cut it when you have to depend on it. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 1 16:15:06 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA29322 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 16:15:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ozemail.com.au (server3.syd.mail.ozemail.net [203.108.7.41]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA29305 for ; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 16:14:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from oznet07.ozemail.com.au (oznet07.ozemail.com.au [203.2.192.122]) by ozemail.com.au (8.8.4/8.6.12) with ESMTP id JAA07142; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 09:14:53 +1000 (EST) Received: from mycroft (slmel11p54.ozemail.com.au [203.108.200.70]) by oznet07.ozemail.com.au (8.8.4/8.6.12) with ESMTP id JAA15718; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 09:14:51 +1000 (EST) Message-Id: <199707012314.JAA15718@oznet07.ozemail.com.au> From: "Geoff Marshall" To: "Howard Lew" Cc: Subject: Re: Caviar is tasting like fish eggs.......

Since then, I've noticed a rather bad problem, Occasionally, FreeBSD will begin acting as if my Control key is constantly pressed. That is, a `j' will generate an '^J'. This would occasionally happen before the upgrade but I was always able to fix the problem by pressing all of my Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys. This no longer works. Further, with the upgrade, the frequency has increased to the point where my system is only marginally useable. Timing is important, but I can cause it to happen repeatedly. Logging in on vty0, quickly typing '*X*' and then switching to vty4 will usually do it. Before upgrading, I don't believe this would have consistently caused the problem (although I did have a repeatable way of generating it then, too). The only thing nonstandard on my keymap is the right control key being mapped to 'cr'. This is the same keymap I had before I upgraded. I have P100, with an Award PCI/ISA Bios, 2A59CG0A. In the case they mean anything, "dram precharge wait state" = 0, and "dram wait state" = 1. As already mentioned, freshly-installed FreeBSD-2.2.2. The kernel is GENERIC, but I've disabled everything I don't use. Nothing interesting showed up with a verbose boot. I sort'a need to see this solved...

Depends on what you're going to use it for. First, note that partitions in the FreeBSD sense are different from what DOS calls partitions (DOS partitions are referred to as slices). All of the partitions go into a single slice. Basically, you can use the (A)uto option of the disklabel editor to get some decent defaults. The rules of thumb being: The / parition should have almost nothing in it. If you intend to have many kernels or lkm's you'll need a bit more. However, generally some 30MB will be more than enough. The /var partition is for log files and mail and news spools (mainly). If you're setting up a large server (especially mail/news, but also www, as the www logs will probably go in there) it should be fairly large. Otherwise, it can be pretty small. Swap space is largly dependent on how busy the machine will be. Major swap space consumers are Emacs, X11, Netscape and gcc. If you use many of these concurrently you'll need a *lot* of swap space. The rest of the system goes under /usr. This includes users' files, most of the software and docs you'll install, etc. Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 2 01:36:16 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA22118 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 01:36:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA22113 for ; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 01:36:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.8.5/8.6.12) id LAA12438; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 11:35:54 +0300 (IDT) X-Authentication-Warning: gatekeeper.barcode.co.il: smap set sender to using -f Received: from localhost.barcode.co.il(127.0.0.1) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il via smap (V1.3) id sma012436; Wed Jul 2 11:35:36 1997 Message-ID: <33BA12B5.179E@barcode.co.il> Date: Wed, 02 Jul 1997 11:35:01 +0300 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: kenc@jcis.com CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Protected Mode References: <33B985C7.FAF48D5D@jcis.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ken C. wrote: > > Hi, > > Is FreeBSD using a protected mode only? > > kenc@jcis.com Yes (except for the initial bootstrap) Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 2 01:36:22 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA22137 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 01:36:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA22119 for ; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 01:36:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.8.5/8.6.12) id LAA12431; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 11:35:24 +0300 (IDT) X-Authentication-Warning: gatekeeper.barcode.co.il: smap set sender to using -f Received: from localhost.barcode.co.il(127.0.0.1) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il via smap (V1.3) id sma012429; Wed Jul 2 11:35:12 1997 Message-ID: <33BA129B.1826@barcode.co.il> Date: Wed, 02 Jul 1997 11:34:35 +0300 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: greg baxter CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: firewalls...

Whether this machine will actually be a gateway depends on what type of firewall you want. For a packet filtering firewall (one whose main weapon is ipfw and friends), you'll need it set to YES. For routing, running a routing daemon on a firewall is generally considered bad practice. You don't run something on a firewall unless you have to, so in a simple configuration like yours, I'd use static routing.

They are, and it didn't. It may be that the hostname is tied to the ethernet port which is actually connected to nothing, Mostly for if I bring my laptop home. It's not a big deal. At first, I thought it was because hostname was a CNAME of the actual name. But changing it didn't make any difference.

Currently, I'm slowly changing all of our linux boxes over to FreeBSD 2.2.2-STABLE.

I have an NEC 8x SCSI II CDROM with a Seagate Barracuda 32171W 2Gig HD. My motherboard is a Supermicro STE with the Triton II chipset and I have 64 Megs 60ns megs of Parity RAM. I set the motherboard BIOS settings to "failsafe" mode. I inserted the 2.2.2-RELEASE BSD CDROM into the CDROM and my Adaptec 2940UW controller recognizes it to be a bootable CD. The SCSI ID of the barracuda is 0 and the CDROM is 4. The Adaptec BIOS settings are at the defaults. The system boots off of the CDROM and then prompts me for kernel settings. I also have an SMC 8013 ethernet card. At the kernel settings screen, I only specified the hardware installed on my computer. Also, I verified the IRQ and DMA settings and I am sure that there are no conflicts. When it comes up to the installation screen after successfully detecting the CDROM and the hardware, I went to the custom section. At the partition subsection, I selected to reserve the entire HD with no OS compatibility for BSD. The installation type selected is kernel src only with base programs. The installation goes through fine without any errors. I reboot and take the CDROM out of the drive. The "boot: " prompt comes up and I let it time out to the default kernel. Then the "text: 0x2938" whatever comes up with a spinning cursor and after after 2 seconds the HD light stays on the computer crashes with the spinning cursor stopped. In about 1 out of 15 tries, I might get a successfull boot so it seems that at least the installation went through ok. I think it may have to do with the HD geometry but I could be wrong.

System layout Motherboard: TYAN TITAN III Bios settings: LPT: IRQ 5 (Connected to Espon Stylus Color) Serial Port1: Com 1 IRQ 4 (Connected to MS serial mouse) Serial Port2: Com 2 IRQ 3 (Connected to Epson line printer) SCSI Controller: Adaptec 2940 UW SCSI Devices: Seagate Barcoda 2.1 GB HD Exabyte 4200 4MM tape drive Video Card : PCI : STB Nitro 3D Modem Internel : Sporter X2 : Setting Com4 IRQ 2 Sound Card : AWE32 Not currently pluged in because I do not know the settings CDROM : Creative IDE CDROM : connected to primary ide Floppy Drive : Generic 1.44 mb floppy Question 1: In dmesg I see that lpt0 is at 0x278 IRQ 7 but my bois is set to IRQ 5, should I change the IRQ setting in my kernel config to IRQ 5 or change my bois. Also dmesg reports that vga0 is on IRQ 7 ( problems here?). Question 2: Does the pci devices automatically get assigned IRQ and addresses that have not been used yet? I.E. will the bios first look at all of my devices that use IRQ and reserve those IRQ's and then assign the remaining to the pci devices? Question 3: What are the reserved IRQ's. It looks like the floppy is assigned "6" and the IDE controller's get "14 & 15" and the system console is assigned "1". Also I thought I read somewhere that IRQ 2 =9? ( My modem is assigned IRQ "2") Question 4: For my Creative Labs AWE32 sound which is plug & play how can I find out the settings? Thanks in advance. -Ralph Rye From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 2 09:03:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA11849 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 09:03:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from erinet.com (mail1.erinet.com [207.0.229.18]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA11843 for ; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 09:03:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from jamie.erinet.com (dlp90.troy.eri.net [207.0.225.120]) by erinet.com (8.8.5/8.8.1) with ESMTP id MAA20836 for ; Wed, 2 Jul 1997 12:09:00 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <33BA7BDB.2F7D4222@erinet.com> Date: Wed, 02 Jul 1997 12:03:39 -0400 From: Jamie Clark Reply-To: jamie@erinet.com Organization: Computer Rescue X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [en] (Win95; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: printer page size...

( My modem > is assigned IRQ "2") 2 and 9 are indeed the same. The PC has two cascaded interrupt controllers and IRQ2 is used to cascade them. This might be the reason your vga0 shows up on 7 (mine shows up on 9). 12 is generaly used by the PS/2 style mice, so if you have a serial mouse, it will probably be free. > > Question 4: > For my Creative Labs AWE32 sound which is plug & play how can I > find out the settings?

The vx driver no longer says to set it manually rather than use the auto-select. I guess this is good... However, it says I'm using the mii interface. That's cute, as this card doesn't have a mii interface (on the outside at least). It's got the normal 8-pin modular connector on it.

The built-in serial ports are not working under FreeBSD, although they work under Windows 95. When the system boots and displays the system configuration, it displays the port of all three serial ports correctly, but when FreeBSD boots, it does not recognize sio0 or sio1 (built-in) but only sio2 (an ISA card). I thought the problem might be because FreeBSD does not recognize by name the 430TX chipset. Does bsd have to activate these built-in ports or is this completely a BIOS problem?

I've tried with 3 different NICs, 2 PCI (Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B, SMC EtherPower 10/100) and 1 ISA (Intel EtherExpress PRO/10+). All three are properly probed, seem to make ifconfig & route happy, and generally show no signs of trouble until the installation attempts to resolve `current.freebsd.org' (or anything else). With the 2 PCI cards, the driver complains about a "transmission timeout". With the ISA PRO/10+, the driver doesn't complain, but nothing happens (no DEBUG output) and the install times out. Here's the setup: Hardware: Micron Pentium with 3 PCI slots SMC EtherPower 10/100 in PCI Slot 3 (de0, DEC 21140) OR Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B in PCI Slot 3 (fxp0) OR Intel EtherExpress PRO/10+ in ISA Slot 1 (ex0) Adaptec 2940AU in PCI Slot 2 Diamond Stealth 64 in PCI Slot 1 (the shared PCI/ISA slot) Sundry ISA stuff (Bus Mouse card mse0, SB16) So far, I did the following: 1) Transferred the boot image from the snap to floppy. 2) Boot up, no problem. 3) In the "Options" menu, choose FTP->3.0 SNAP Server->de0/fxp0/ex0 4) Type in the appropriate network configuration information. This is all correct, this machine used to run FreeBSD 2.1.0 a while ago (but not with the same NIC card. I was using an EtherExpress 16, which is not supported by the boot floppy). >From looking at the debug messages, ifconfig succeeds, routes are added fine, etc. but the de0 & fxp0 drivers subsequently complain. Here's the DEBUG output: DEBUG: Init routine called for network device de0. DEBUG: Notify: ifconfig de0 inet x.y.z.42 netmask 0xffffff00 DEBUG: Executing command `ifconfig de0 inet x.y.z.42 netmask 0xffffff00' DEBUG: Command `ifconfig de0 inet x.y.z.42 netmask 0xffffff00' returns status of 0 DEBUG: Notify: Adding default route to x.y.z.1.

All three cards appear to see traffic (from the activity LEDs) at all times. I know the network jack, cabling, etc. are fine (have another machine to swap & test with). The specified gateway, nameserver et al. are okay, the IP address for the machine is reserved, and I have not the foggiest on where to look next. Have others run into this sort of thing? Is installing via FTP deprecated? Am I overlooking something insanely obvious? Should I Cc this to freebsd-hackers or freebsd-current since it's a 3.0-SNAP thing? And in case those questions weren't enough, can humble mortals like me roll a boot floppy with the EtherExpress 16 driver on it (ix)? I know *that* works.

The above indicates an interrupt conflict of some kind - for whatever reason, the system isn't seeing the interrupts from the card(s).

Chances are pretty good it is a NMEA-0183 port, which uses RS-422 signalling levels. You should be able to plug it into a PC serial port, unless you have really bad hardware. You'll have to contact the manufacturer for information on the protocol they use. There is *some* standardization in this area, but I wouldn't count on your software working with it. Most manufacturers are pretty good about releasing protocol specs, though I've never heard of TrueTime.

This is on a stock FreeBSD 2.2.2 system. The GCC version is 2.7.2.1. I usually compile with "-O2 -m486" The machine is a clone 486DX2/66 I slapped together out of spare parts. Anyway, here is the problem: When compiling large programs, the compile sometimes stops with an error. usually the error is something like "parse error before '}'" but I remember one time when it was something else (can't remember what the error was at that time, though). The weird thing is, there IS no error (when I read the file, it looks like perfectly good C syntax to me), and, if I run 'make' and recompile that file WITHOUT CHANGING IT, it works fine! Other than this, the machine is working perfectly. I often have it up and doing stuff for hours, sometimes days at a time, and there haven't been any other errors to speak of. So is this a gcc bug? Is anyone else having this type of trouble? Is there a patch for it? Please let me know, pref. by email.

It should be :0.0 If that checks out, you probably have a xauthority problem. Im guessing that you ran xdm, logged in as a user and then used su to become root. The problem is that the .Xauthority file in /root isn't updated when you su. The fix is to run xauth -f /root/.Xauthority merge /home/user_I_su'ed_from/.Xauthority See man xauth. I inserted the above line in my /root/.login after a line which checks whether I su'ed. I can then run the graphical version of CVSup :) One last thing, make sure that there isn't a line saying xhosts + in any of your startup dotfiles. Type xhosts - to see if your problem goes away.

This string is indeed part of the Merit AAA Server which someone (I'm sorry, but his name escapes me) put into the ports collection. This string represents a parsing error in the "users" file used to configure user profiles for the Merit AAA Server. Robert may have made a typo or some other syntactical error -- I would need to see his users file. The logging of this message is accompanied by a line number of the problem line in the users file.

I've used the Ultrastar...it's plenty fast for anything but a news server. We've had more problems with the Adaptec 2940 controller code in FreeBSD (scsi bus resets/timeouts) than anything else.

We have a slightly similar problem; we've never seen the in-use lockup you describe, but the SCSI adapter cannot find the drives after a reset, halt, or reboot, only after power is cycled. This did not happen with earlier revisions of the Adaptec firmware. Is it possible that a power cycle would get your system back up, without wiggling any wires? This is also under 2.2.1-RELEASE, off the WC CDROM.

It locks on to the satellite(s) just fine (after I FINALLY found a good location for the antenna!) but it's network response Sucks! I've put it's AUI i/f on a Cisco Catalyst switched-hub (it's own dedicated connection) wich is directly attached to our FDDI campus ring. 10 pings of 100bytes result in response times of 39ms to 256ms with AT LEAST 2 packets dropped! I attach a FBSD PC to the same port (using the SAME Twisted-Pair-to-AUI tranceiver AND the same CAT-5 Cable) and get sub-2ms response times for 1000 packets of 100bytes with NO dropped packets!! I have three "stratum-5" ntp servers which sync to three machines in our corporate FireWall office which work just fine. The NTS-100 is currently driving 3 other NTP servers (it's a 'stratum-1' server, so the three machines I have sync'ing to it are at 'stratum-2') which CONSTANTLY loose syncronization with it! For $4300 I'm NOT impressed!!!! I'm using a combination of FreeBSD and Sun Sparc systems as my NTP servers for BOTH set-ups! Running 'xntp3-5.90' on ALL systems. Wes Peters wrote: > Andrew K.

I never had a problem with my Adaptec 2940 since I started using Freebsd since 2.1.5, but I heard about the problems. However I have a simlar problem where I have a system that I cant upgrade via floppies, having no physical access to it. The way I manage to get around this is that I download the new source/ binaries for the version I want to upgrade to, backup /etc via tar and run the install script (all done in mulituser) (all done in mulituser) (all done in mulituser) (all done in mulituser) (all done in mulituser) (all done in mulituser) (all done in mulituser) (all done in mulituser) (all done in mulituser). This then just untars the new version binaries and source, I then compile new kernel add back old /etc, reboot and volia new system. I've been this successfully from 2.1.5 -> 2.1.6 -> 2.1.7 -> 2.2.2 Regards Darryl > > John-David Childs (JC612) @denver.net/Internet-Coach > System Administrator Enterprise Internet Solutions > & Network Engineer 901 E 17th Ave, Denver 80218 > "I used up all my sick days... so I'm calling in dead!" > > > -- ******************************************************************************* http://www.lizard.org/ Web Cache: www.lizard.org 3128 Tel:+44 (0)966 197371 Free Web Space - webmaster@lizard.org Just remember...Captain Pugwash..."One eyed Jack shot seamen Stains all over the deck!" ******************************************************************************* From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jul 3 06:57:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA10917 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 3 Jul 1997 06:57:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from krondor.cpn.org.au (slip3.tas.gov.au [147.109.237.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA10910 for ; Thu, 3 Jul 1997 06:57:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from krondor.cpn.org.au (krondor.cpn.org.au [172.16.1.1]) by krondor.cpn.org.au (8.8.3/8.8.3) with SMTP id XAA24485; Thu, 3 Jul 1997 23:56:28 GMT Date: Thu, 3 Jul 1997 23:56:28 +0000 () From: Carey Nairn X-Sender: cpn@krondor.cpn.org.au To: Simon N Atkin cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Signal 8 anyone ???

I read the Handbook entry and could not glean the information from what was there to answer my question. Here's what I would like to do, and it seems that CVSup is the way to go. I currently have all of the sources for FreeBSD-2.2.1, and I would like to update the source tree to FreeBSD-2.2.2. I have never used CVSup before so I am concerned with the following dialog from the FreeBSD Handbook: > Where should cvsup maintain its status files? > > The cvsup client maintains certain status files in what is called > the "base" directory. These files help CVSup to work more > efficiently, by keeping track of which updates you have already > received.

The cvsup client will refuse to run if the base directory > does not exist. I don't want to have to download all of the sources (for the first time) just for CVSup to create the status files in the /usr/local/etc/cvsup directory. Is there a way that I can manually tell CVSup that I already have the CDROM sources for the 2.2.1-RELEASE, and I only want those files that have changed in the 2.2.2-RELEASE (or any other release for that matter)? Of course once this is done the first time, CVSup takes over automatically with respect to the status files. Thank you for any suggestions in advance, JM From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jul 3 08:08:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id IAA14290 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 3 Jul 1997 08:08:30 -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 IAA14283 for ; Thu, 3 Jul 1997 08:08:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from proot@localhost) by horton.iaces.com (8.8.5/8.8.4) id KAA09652 for questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 3 Jul 1997 10:08:16 -0500 (CDT) From: "Paul T.

SCO didn't want to stay within it's slice and made my /var slice unusable (and SCO seems to be randomly hanging, oh well...). My / (on the same HD) and /usr (on the slave HD, BTW, the swap slice is also on the second HD) where OK. I was able to fsck both FS's (but it puked on /var). I tar'ed my entire /etc dir to the /usr FS. I have just completed a 'low level' format of my primary drive. Here's the $64K question. Can I install just / and /var, if so how? I was using 3.0-current with sources that are able to complete 'make world' without puking (CVSUP'ed a few days ago). I have the 3.0-current CD set dated 5/28. If I can't install just the / and /var FS's what's the best way to do the install without destroying /usr on the 2nd HD (I have about 3 day's worth of D/L'ed applications on that slice that I would prefer to not lose - I D/L'ed them about 2 days before the 3.0-current CDs magically arrived via subscription)? Oh, BTW, I don't have backup.

I had to give up my second serial port to make all the IRQs work properly. The sound card was innocent. Thanks! Two things about the install: 1) The bootstrap loader says the wrong thing for -cv? It says 'v' is for config and 'c' is for verbose output. 2) Why does the install program clear the second vty when it comes up?

Like any other UNIX-style OS, the OS itself is not graphical, but it comes with an implementation of the X-Windows system, which is a graphical windowing system. It is very different in design and philosophy from Win95/NT, and, like most other UN*X OSs has a pretty steep learning curve. If you are going to use it, be prepared to read a lot, learn a lot, and inavadibly, make a lot of mistakes (initially). > > le tme know asap. > please. > Thanks > > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jul 3 23:13:00 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA10733 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 3 Jul 1997 23:13:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ns.mbttc.ptt.ru (root@[195.34.11.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA10728 for ; Thu, 3 Jul 1997 23:12:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from admin.mbttc.ptt.ru (admin.mbttc.ptt.ru [195.34.11.13]) by ns.mbttc.ptt.ru (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id KAA23705 for ; Fri, 4 Jul 1997 10:19:51 +0400 Message-ID: <33BC9464.3606@mail.mbttc.ptt.ru> Date: Fri, 04 Jul 1997 10:12:52 +0400 From: Web master of MBTTC Reply-To: webmaster@ns.mbttc.ptt.ru Organization: MBTTC X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: About Java.

Of the BSD variety. You (Nadav) know that but I just wanted to make it clear to the uninformed reader. Personally I don't think the learning curve is that steep either. With Unix I can read _The Unix Programming Environment_ by K & P * and basically be done with it.

I've got a FreeBSD box connected via a analogue leased line to my ISP. I'm using userland ppp, with the following ppp.conf file : default: set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 38400 disable lqr deny lqr leasedline: set timeout 0 set ifaddr 196.7.74.174 196.7.0.145 delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR set openmode active (196.7.74.174 is my IP address, 196.7.0.145 is the static IP address assigned to the Portmaster). I try to launch this with ppp -auto leasedline, but that often fails. So, What I do is run it on a spare terminal, enter my password and type dial leasedline. Hey presto, that works. Question 1 : why does it not work with -auto ? PS. No username/password is necessary - the Portmaster just starts speaking PPP immediately. The next thing is that sometimes the line goes down. In a case like that, the modems will re-negotiate. Is there anything I can do to user-ppp which will cause it to re-initialise the PPP connection ? Question 2 : how do I get user-PPP to re-start itself when PPP dies ? The following thing is that often the add 0 0 HISADDR line does nothing. I have to delete ALL, and re-enter add 0 0 HISADDR, and then it works. Sometimes, this happens quite often. Question 3 : who does the routing fail, and more importantly, how do I get the routing to work when noone is there to type it in ? Question 4 : how do I add the equivalent command of route 196.7.74.174 -interface lo0 using user-ppp ?

I have the problem with ALL versions of FreeBSD. I'm pretty sure it's a BIOS issue. I was able to get around it by creating a small DOS partition (5Meg) on the drive and using booteasy. For me it was convienient as I could keep my EISA config utilities on the hard disk. There may be other ( and better ) solutions but I've not been able to find one. I too tried many different things with disk geometries etc. but the small DOS partition ALWAYS worked. Hope this helps!

Now most of our machines run FreeBSD. It is an operating system very much like unix. It can be graphical with X, but running X uses resources and open security issues you dont need to deal with if you are providing people with dial in shells or PPP or something.

If you have the ports directory you'll first need to upgrade the port from ftp.freebsd.org. You can do this by just using cvsup or just manually get the port info from ftp.freebsd.org. Replace the CD port with the current one in /usr/ports/x11/afterstep then make install. Since you already have the source code, put it in its untar-gzip'ed form in /usr/ports/distfiles and you won't have to go get it again during the make process. It should then compile itself w/ the correct FreeBSD patches. The other option is to just get the package. Go to ftp.freebsd.org and cd pub/FreeBSD/packages/x11, get afterstep.tar.gz and then just pkg_add the package. ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ ********************************************************* From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jul 4 12:38:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA05533 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 4 Jul 1997 12:38:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from squirrel.tgsoft.com (squirrel.tgsoft.com [207.167.64.183]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA05528 for ; Fri, 4 Jul 1997 12:38:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: (qmail 4710 invoked by uid 128); 4 Jul 1997 19:38:41 -0000 Date: 4 Jul 1997 19:38:41 -0000 Message-ID: <19970704193841.4709.qmail@squirrel.tgsoft.com> From: mark thompson To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: 3com Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Anybody tried the 3COM Etherlink XL 10/100 PCMCIA card? -mark From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jul 4 12:50:13 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA05899 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 4 Jul 1997 12:50:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.FreeBSD.ORG [204.216.27.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA05894 for ; Fri, 4 Jul 1997 12:50:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from grizzly.fas.com (chs0262.awod.com [208.140.97.22]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.6/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA02403 for ; Fri, 4 Jul 1997 12:50:02 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199707041950.MAA02403@freefall.freebsd.org> Received: by grizzly.fas.com ($Revision: 1.37.109.23 $/16.2) id AA299035799; Fri, 4 Jul 1997 15:49:59 -0400 Subject: Any kow select() bugs in 2.2-STABLE ?

I looked around on the BSD2.2 snapshot CD that I have, and discovered that libz stuff is in the 'devel' section. However, when I tried to search for libz stuff at freebsd.org, I cannot manage to locate any packages listed as such. Has the name for the package containing libz changed? I cannot even find it in the BSD2.2 area. It shows up quite plainly on the CDrom as packages: Libz_1.0 Libz_1.000 I needed to go to Xfree3.3 in order to install a new graphics card. thanks in advance, Lawrence Shing From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jul 4 16:22:51 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA11841 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 4 Jul 1997 16:22:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail3.voicenet.com (mail3.voicenet.com [207.103.0.45]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA11832 for ; Fri, 4 Jul 1997 16:22:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from user.at.mydomain (scranton120.voicenet.com [207.103.120.39]) by mail3.voicenet.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id TAA19241 for ; Fri, 4 Jul 1997 19:27:47 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <3.0.2.32.19970704192236.006aeca8@popmail.voicenet.com> X-Sender: jseward@popmail.voicenet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.2 (32) Date: Fri, 04 Jul 1997 19:22:36 -0400 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: "Joe S."

It has for other libs. I found the source for libz 1.0.4 in the FreeBSD 2.2.2 source tree. The Makefile does not create the libz.so, only libz.a and libz.pa! I was unable to find the real libz.so.2.0, if it ever existed. Looks like libz is being dropped from newer versions of FreeBSD for some reason!

Basically, the problem is that I can do an "automatic dial", like the "simplesite" example, but demand dialing as with "pmdemand" does not work. The symptom is that the negotiations seem to complete successfully, all the way to the "OsLinkup" stage according to the log file, but the ppp daemon then hangs forever, apparently in a 'select'. No packets seem to be passed. The modem connection stays up with no traffic. However connecting to the same ISP using "automatic dialing" (i.e. semi-manual mode, where I type in the "add 0 0 HISADDR" afterward by hand) does work just fine, and the log looks basically the same. Here is the banner from the system: FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE (CAERN) #0: Mon Jun 30 19:40:37 PDT 1997 Here are two configurations I've tried: pmdemand: set debug 0 1 2 3 set phone nnnnnnn set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:-\\r-ogin: UWish word: GoodLuck" set timeout 1200 disable lqr deny lqr set ifaddr 207.199.11.70 192.215.247.250 add 0 255.255.255.0 192.215.247.250 # set openmode active The second was similar to the first, but in an attempt to make the negotiation a little looser, I nailed things down less severely. It was identical to the first, but the "ifaddr" line was: set ifaddr 207.199.11.0/0 192.215.247.250/24 Same symptoms.

I don't do DOS, but from your description I'd say: % find / -name filename -print See the manpage for find for more details but in summary the above starts at / an looks for a file named "filename" and prints what if finds. The -print is optional in SGI's (starting with Irix 6.3) and FreeBSD's find but not in other Unix find's. One furthing thing, if you quote "file*" you can use wildcards to match the filename. You've got to quote the expression else it will expand in your current directory, and thats probably not what you really want. Another fun way to use find: % find / -name "file*" -exec ls -l "{}" \; I won't explain that one. For more examples of find, see /etc/daily and /etc/weekly. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Yes. 1) FreeBSD makes an excellent platform to run an ISP from. It comes standard with all of the internet servers on the CD-ROM. You have several web servers to choose from, including Apache, which dominates the WWW; a recent survey found 42% of all web sites served by Apache. You can also run Roxen, (www.roxen.com), and the BSD/OS version of Netscape Commerce Server if you are into sending Netscape money for something you can do better elsewhere. The FTP server that comes with FreeBSD is good, but if you want to run a high-traffic ftp site, install wu-ftpd from the 'packages.' 2) FreeBSD is a UNIX-like operating system. It is based on the 4.4BSD operating system developed at the University of California at Berkeley, and has more history than most computer companies. ;^) 3) See number 2. You can't be called "UNIX" unless you pay somebody a "The Open Group", formerly known as OSF (for "Oppose Sun Forever") to test your operating system and formally brand it "UNIX." On the other hand, what most people consider UNIX is the BSD roots of FreeBSD. 4) Is it graphical? No UNIX OS is really graphical, UNIX developers still understand the difference between a window and a system call. FreeBSD does come with a graphical user interface system called XFree86, a port of X11R6 for x86 UNIX-like systems. If you're familiar with X on UNIX workstations, you'll be right at home here. 5) You're new to UNIX, of course you'll be lost. On the other hand, there are lots of people here and elsewhere who want to help you. First take a look at a bunch of books from O'Reilly and Associates (see www.ora.com). You'll need, at a minimum: Essential UNIX Administration, TCP/IP Network Administration, and Administering DNS and BIND. Basically, buy everything they have with a blue spine. You don't necessarily need to read each one cover to cover, but you'll end up needing each one before you're really comfortable. While you're on your book-buying spree, you'll probably want a copy of "Unix System Administration" by Nemeth, Synder, and Seebass, published by Prentice Hall. It's the best book on BSD system admin around. Please note that if you have an experienced UNIX admin around that you can ask questions, you can probably skip several of these. You should probably get the Nemeth et al book and the TCP/IP Network Administration book as a starting point, and add others as you need. You're probably asking yourself "Self, what am I going to get in return for all this hard work?" Good question. You'll get a rock-solid internet server. Actually, you'll probably get a bunch of them. All successful ISPs eventually grow to need multiples of mail servers, news servers, web servers, login servers, etc. Plus workstations for tech support, billing, account administration, and network administration. Plus, you'll need off-line servers where you can test updates and new versions of software before crashing customers with them. Isn't it nice to know that as you add each of these machines, you don't have to put another $1000 in Bill the Goats personal account? You just slip the FreeBSD CD-ROM into the drive, or even install it from an FTP server there at your site! Welcome to FreeBSD, you're going to have fun. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I doubt I'll ever feel the need to look at the GCC code for example. Sure, it won't hurt a thing (other than your ability to 'make world'). If you're adventurous, you could save your custom kernel config files, delete all of /usr/src, and re-install the kernel sources. Restore your custom config files and you'll be back to a normal system, minus all of the unneeded source. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Without any idea what sort of problems you're actually having, it's hard to know what one can do for you. There certainly isn't any "code out there" in the fashion that you mean, but there's plenty of help available if you're willing to give us some more detail, and if we can identify anything that needs to be fixed, such code might well be forthcoming. > Tim Pushor Orion Technologies Inc. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.

It has the same reliability, but most EDO SIMMs are only available in non- parity versions. Non-parity is just as reliable as parity RAM, but with parity your system will crash if it detects a parity error, which many people believe is superior to continuing to run with the bad bit(s). -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jul 5 01:10:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA27253 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 5 Jul 1997 01:10:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fleming.jimpick.com (root@fleming.jimpick.com [204.209.211.27]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA27211 for ; Sat, 5 Jul 1997 01:09:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from jimpick.com (jim@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by fleming.jimpick.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA02109; Sat, 5 Jul 1997 01:09:04 -0700 Message-Id: <199707050809.BAA02109@fleming.jimpick.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0gamma 1/27/96 Cc: "Sergei S.

Some postings suggested adding lines to .emacs and/or loading/modifying the right keyboard map with syscons - something about needing an 8th bit to get the syscons to recognize alt as meta. I basically need to know what to modify, and where. There are many possibilities; one is to modify the syscons.c, another is loading a different key map (I use the default configuration - US). Another posting suggested using kbdcontrol to change this. How is the key mapped by default in syscons? Also, what is the best way to fix it so that alt is mapped to meta in emacs? Actually, I was thinking that the "lowest level" solution was best, i.e., changing the syscons or kbdcontrol behavior instead of just simply remapping the keys under emacs. Presumably, I would think that a good solution would be to make the behave the same way as pcvt allows.

I am hoping you might be able to help me out. I have a p133 with 48 megs of ram, and a 3com 3c509 ether card with an adaptec aha152x scsi card as storage device. Doing the visual configuration of the kernel, I disable everything but the scsi card, the ether card and the floppy drive. In addition, I leave on the mouse and the other device (syscon?) in that subsection. All the irqs seem to configured correctly as the subsequent loading of the kernel shows all devices as they should be. The startup sees the scsi card, waits for the device to settle, finds the Hard Drive, finds the ether card, then I get a few lines that say this: changing root device to fd0c panic: double fault syncing disks It will hang like this forever. I have no idea what is wrong or how to get past this hurdle. Can you help please?

Remember me? I posted a few days ago with a strange problem i've been having with gcc. Still don't remember? Let me refresh your memory... ----- From: Donald Burr Subject: weird gcc bug? I've been having some weird problems with GCC lately. This is on a stock FreeBSD 2.2.2 system. The GCC version is 2.7.2.1. I usually compile with "-O2 -m486" The machine is a clone 486DX2/66 I slapped together out of spare parts. Anyway, here is the problem: When compiling large programs, the compile sometimes stops with an error. usually the error is something like "parse error before '}'" but I remember one time when it was something else (can't remember what the error was at that time, though). The weird thing is, there IS no error (when I read the file, it looks like perfectly good C syntax to me), and, if I run 'make' and recompile that file WITHOUT CHANGING IT, it works fine! Other than this, the machine is working perfectly. I often have it up and doing stuff for hours, sometimes days at a time, and there haven't been any other errors to speak of. So is this a gcc bug? Is anyone else having this type of trouble? Is there a patch for it? Please let me know, pref. by email. Thanks ----- Anyway, yes I am still having that problem. And now I've just started having another one. Last night I was in the middle of some rather cpu-intensive stuff (manipulating graphic images), when the system just up and rebooted. It rebooted in a "dirty" manner because the system had to fsck the disks. So this looks like a crash of sorts to me. Now I'm beginning to suspect that gcc is not the problem, and that my hardware is. But what part(s) of my hardware could be at fault? Hmm... let me do some thinking: * Overclocking. My friend (whom I bought this machine from) said he ran the cpu (a 486DX2/66) as an 80. I think the board is still set up that way too. Could this be causing this spurious behavior? The funny thing is that when my friend still owned it, he ran Linux and never showed any oddities. (then again, maybe FreeBSD is more "demanding" on the motherboard/CPU resources than Linux is :) ) * Bad memory. The memory is brand new and of a reputable brand, yet it still could concievably be defective. How can I test if this is true? * PCI. This is a PCI system (yes, a 486 PCI system -- they exist). I know absolutely nothing about PCI. I only have one PCI card in there (a cheap clone video board based on a Cirrus Logic chip). But the board has IDE controller built-in (but I don't know if this IDE controller is built into the PCI bus or is an ISA device?). * BIOS settings. Being a PCI machine, this machine has WAY too many BIOS settings. And I don't know the meaning of a lot of them! (and the manual don't help...) I have things set up using the "BIOS defaults" -- but maybe the BIOS's idea of defaults is screwy? It's an Award modular BIOS, is there any documentation somewhere that tells what all of these settings mean? Or, in general, which type(s) of settings should I be checking? So. Can anyne tell me which of these is probably (likely to be) the cause of my problems? How likely, etc.? And most of all, what steps should I go about in further isolating or fixing the problem? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.

But the people in the mailacc >group can't access the programs in the above directory. > >How is this possible, do I use chmod?? if so what command parameters. You need to use two commands. Chmod to set the permission. Chown to set the ownership. Use chown the set the group ownership of /usr/local/bin to "users". Then use chmod to set the "group" permissions for /usr/local/bin to group readable and executable. You must also set the "other" permission so that all other users (including mailacc) are excluded from this directory. If you fail to exclude the "other" users then you are defeating your purpose. Administrative note: You should change all the permissions and ownerships of the files within the directory as well. Use the -R operator to do this quickly. This will make the directory accessible to people in group "users" so that they may read and execute. You may choose to give them power to write as well. I dare say that you will choose against this to keep folks from messing with the binaries that your other users need. Since no one of the "other" users can gain permission, the group mailacc will not have this access. See man chmod and man chown for the specific syntax.

Does adding multiple 100 Mbs cards help? Or are we already CPU limited with one card when driving for max packet rate. What happens for throughput, do additional cards help? - generally max packet rate occurs with the smallest packet size (UDP 8 bytes) + ethernet size I would also like to know about ftp performance. What buffer sizes does FreeBSD allocate for each command connection? What size for each data connection? I would guess that it uses a window size according to a client, but I can see this becoming a real problem if the ftpd has to allocate and free buffers in a high performance environment. I'm particularly interested in number of concurrent downloads vs. number of concurrent user sessions. While the server supports 2000 users quite well (ftp.cdrom.com) how does it do when 100-200 simultaneous downloads are taking place? Has anyone noted behavior for various connect speeds?

Do % man man to find out how it works (space key take you to the next page). To find information for a command do % man command If you don't know the name of the command you look for you can do % man -k your_search_string This will list commands that contain this string in the short description. Unfortunately you may still fail to find the right command. When I'm desperate I sometimes "grep" for it in the man directorys (may look silly to you Unix gurus but give me a better suggestion for how to do it ;-) % zgrep mypattern /usr/share/man/man?/* | less % zgrep mypattern /usr/local/man/man?/* | less % zgrep mypattern /usr/X11R6/man/man?/* | less And of cause there may be cases where there are no direct equivalent of a DOS command in Unix and you have to combine several Unix commands to do the same thing. These can be combined and named with the "alias" command to form new commands. Another way to find information about some of the commands is the "info" system. Do % info Use arrow keys and 'return' to select, 'u' for up, 'n' for next... And, if this isn't enough, I use searches on the Web. Finally, If all other things fail, I look in the source code ;-) dkelly@hiwaay.net wrote: > Another fun way to use find: > > % find / -name "file*" -exec ls -l "{}" \; > > I won't explain that one.

David, you started it ;-) To search lots of files in and below the current directory for a specific string I have seen others use % find . -name "*.c" -exec grep mypattern {} \; -print But a *much* more efficient way to do it is % find . -name "*.c" -print | xargs grep mypattern I won't explain this one ;-) /kgb From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jul 5 15:47:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA23449 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 5 Jul 1997 15:47:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from implode.root.com (implode.root.com [198.145.90.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA23444 for ; Sat, 5 Jul 1997 15:47:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from implode.root.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by implode.root.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA04788; Sat, 5 Jul 1997 15:49:24 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199707052249.PAA04788@implode.root.com> To: dburr@POBoxes.com cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: what is wrong with my machine??!

My Biostar 8500TUC has the HX chipset, but according to the manual, *supports* just 128MB of RAM, and can only *cache* 64MB of RAM. (Obviously the motherboard must itself be constucted to take advantage of the chipset.) Is there any point in putting more than 64MB on the motherboard? Will more than 64MB of data just swap out to virtual memory, even if I have more than 64MB of RAM?

Having /tmp on the root filesystem is a Bad Thing(tm) anyhow (even if space is not a consideration). However, /tmp and /var/tmp are better kept separate. The better solution would be one of the following: 1. Use MFS for /tmp (assuming you have no swap space problems). 2. Make /tmp a link into the /usr filesystem. You may also want to clean up your root filesystem by: 1. Removing old kernels (i.e. kernel.old and kernel.prev if you've ever upgraded your system). 2. Making sure ~root/ doesn't have any left-overs in it (for example, if you've ever fired up Netscape as root you're likely to have about 5MB of Netscape cache on your root filesystem...). 3. Removing core dumps that may end up in the root directory by many daemonds/utilities (if they ever core-dump). As for the sources, you can remove anything you want. You just won't be able to make world then... Nadav
