I just got a hold of the 2.2.2-RELEASE CD and went for an install on one of my disks. I noticed that on some of the screens, more than one of the options were checked. I don't remember this happening before (pre 2.2.x). It a makes it a little confusing as to just what options I did choose. Also, my rc.conf gets corrupted with repeated lines. Furthermore, choosing the networking option (ppp) and then filling in some of the fields such as the hostname of my computer, etc. was fine. But going back to it using sysinstall, the screen has a "Set this!" or something like it written all over the screen. The words were written all over the graphics area and not confined to just within the fields areas. There might be other anonmalies... So, was this only me or is there really something going on with sysinstall? Or is it something other than sysinstall? -- William T.

Some people at Oracle claim to support SQL*Net clients on FreeBSD. However, they can't tell me whether there are native binaries or the support is through some sort of SCO or Solaris emulation. Others at Oracle aren't sure if it's possible at all. I can only think of five solutions to my problem: 1. Oracle provides SQL*Net client binaries on FreeBSD 2. There is some configuration of Oracle SQL*Net binaries for another Unix platform and an emulator that will work. 3. Some third party has created SQL*Net client binaries for FreeBSD 4. Some third party has created a bridging solution that forwards SQL queries over a socket to a proxy on Solaris which then calls the Oracle server. 5. Oracle will provide SQL*Net client source and we can do the port ourselves. I thought you might be able to help me with solutions 2, 3, and 4. Do you know of anyone that has successfully implemented any of these? Is there a solution that I haven't thought of?

Have been running sendmail "stock" with the /etc/sendmail.cf for quite a while now with moderate success. Sendmail makes direct connections with remote sites and delivers the mail. Finally many sites are clamping down their sendmails to ward off spam. This bites me as my machine thinks its 10.1.0.1 and ID's as such. And with an unresolvable address like that many sites refuse mail from me. However at this moment I'm also tnt1-47.HiWAAY.net. If sendmail knew to use that net name then I think my problem will be solved. The other option is to forward all outgoing mail to my ISP at mail.hiwaay.net and let them handle delivery. Studying the bat book, http://www.sendmail.org, the docs in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail, FreeBSD FAQ and handbook, etc., my head is spinning. So I've started hacking on /etc/sendmail.cf just to see what kind of trouble I can get into (I'm the only user of this system, so I can only hurt myself, right?). This looked interesting in /etc/sendmail.cf: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS So I changed it to: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) #DS DSmail.hiwaay.net Elsewhere I did the same thing for: # who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M) DMmail.hiwaay.net And now it appears to do exactly what I wanted. Fly.hiwaay.net (a.k.a. mail.hiwaay.net) relays my outgoing mail. It appears to leave local mail alone. But the modem flashes on send, apparently a DNS lookup (which will fail for nexgen.hiwaay.net). So that's the background. The Real Question(s) are: 1) Is "Smart" relay host the Right Way to handle my problem? Have I done something that will bite me later? 2) How should I name my FreeBSD box which is not a full time system in the hiwaay.net domain? -- 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.

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.

The PC is an old EISA bus 486DX-33, only ISA cards installed Trident TVGA8900D, NE2000 clone, 2 serial, 1 modem, 420MB IDE HDD. FreeBSD runs just fine, have built a custom kernel, no problems. When X is started via startx, the standard X windows and xclock are displayed, mouse movement is just fine. Unfortunately no keyboard input is accepted and no errors are generated. The machine requires a reset and reboot. This problem occurs with a custom kernel and the GENERIC kernel and also with XFree86 3.1.2 and 3.2. It seems to have something to do with syscons since a similar problem occus if I configure a keymap in /etc/sysconfig. The PC boots with no errors but stops at the login prompt and no keyboard input is accepted. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Sendmail will use the hostname when connecting to another mailer, and your mail user agent (pine, elm, /usr/bin/mail, etc.) will use it too. > unresolvable address like that many sites refuse mail from me. However at Yep. My sendmail refuses messages from unresolvable hosts. On certain messages from certain hosts, I use the domaintable feature to rewrite incoming headers from an unresolvable hostname to a resolvable name in the same domain (i.e. if hostX doesn't have a DNS record for security reasons, but sometimes sends mail to a customer, I use the domaintable to rewrite hostx.subdomain.domain -> subdomain.domain In your case, your mail user agent should have a method for defining your email address as dkelley@hiwaay.net. Thus, even though you are sending from your own machine (which theoretically could be anything...don't use a real domain name without permission of course) you can pick up your mail off hiwaay.net's mailserver. Other strategies include: registering a domain and asking your ISP to host it asking your ISP if they'll define a hostname for you and give it an MX record pointing to their mailserver > this moment I'm also tnt1-47.HiWAAY.net.

Yes, but it's far easier to send mail directly via Sendmail as you've been doing, but defining your email address to be whatever it would be if you were using hiwaay.net's SMTP server (e.g. dkelley@hiwaay.net) > > So I've started hacking on /etc/sendmail.cf just to see what kind of > trouble I can get into (I'm the only user of this system, so I can only > hurt myself, right?).

It takes just a few seconds to add a hostname/MX record for you. If you wanted to be dkelley.hiwaay.net, they would just add dkelley IN MX 5 mail.hiwaay.net. to their DNS file for hiwaay.net and add dkelly.hiwaay.net to the /etc/sendmail.cw file. They might charge you for this service. You might also find out if they'll sell you a static IP. Then they could do this: dkelley IN A X.X.X.X IN MX 5 dkelley.hiwaay.net. IN MX 10 mail.hiwaay.net.

Bizarre. I really don't know; the U34F driver has some seriously worn corners; I don't know anyone that actually has documentation on the old card, let alone the newer ones. You could try putting a printf in uha_init in i386/isa/ultra14f.c in the function uha_init() thus : model = inb(ur->id); submodel = inb(ur->id + 1); printf("uha%d: model %d submodel %d\n", uha->unit, model, submodel); I suspect that the 34FB has a different set of identifiers... -- ]] 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.

Have I done > something that will bite me later? sound like the right way to do it from /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/README: [discussion about incoming mail delivery] If you want all outgoing mail to go to a central relay site, define SMART_HOST as well. Briefly: LOCAL_RELAY applies to unqualifed names (e.g., "eric"). MAIL_HUB applies to names qualified with the name of the local host (e.g., "eric@mastodon.CS.Berkeley.EDU"). SMART_HOST applies to names qualified with other hosts. However, beware that other relays (e.g., UUCP_RELAY, BITNET_RELAY, DECNET_RELAY, and FAX_RELAY) take precedence over SMART_HOST, so if you really want absolutely everything to go to a single central site you will need to unset all the other relays -- or better yet, find or build a minimal config file that does this. > > 2) How should I name my FreeBSD box which is not a full time system in the > hiwaay.net domain? hmm...good question. read /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/README there is a wealth of information in there. consider using "FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)" to hide your machine in the envelope (smtp conversation) as well as the headers jmb From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jul 20 18:45:16 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA14145 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 20 Jul 1997 18:45:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from psln1.psln.com (psln.com [206.99.118.101]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id SAA14139 for ; Sun, 20 Jul 1997 18:45:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from g6-200 by psln1.psln.com via SMTP (951211.SGI.8.6.12.PATCH1502/951211.SGI.AUTO) id SAA08587; Sun, 20 Jul 1997 18:40:29 -0700 Message-Id: <199707210140.SAA08587@psln1.psln.com> From: "Daniel \"the Bruce\" Keller" To: "FreeBSD Questions List" , Subject: Re: plug-n-play Date: Sun, 20 Jul 1997 19:13:16 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1008.3 X-MimeOle: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE Engine V4.71.1008.3 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Plug and Play modems will work in FreeBSD, if you disable the plug and play.

This is usually caused by programming errors, but it's interesting to see inetd spitting these out. You might check your inetd.conf and make sure it's properly formatted.

Did you make sure it's set to IRQ 5? That's not particularly standard. Make sure this is set in UserConfig for sio2. I don't know if the SupraExpresses are PnP sensitive or if they require a proprietary software package to operate. The old ones did and thus won't work with FreeBSD. Once you get it working, in ppp you'll probably need to do set device /dev/cuaa2 to get it connected properly.

So i can go further than that. Could we get the full panic output? There should be a large amount of data spewed along with the panic that we can use to trace the problem.

If the modem device is wrong, do 'set device ..' to change it. Note that /dev/cuaa0 = COM1 and /dev/cuaa1 = COM2. During the boot probe make sure that sio0 and sio1 are being detected properly, and make sure your modem is available on COM1 or COM2.

Your best chances are if you run the drive as the slave on your primary controller, behind your Connor drive. Stick these in your kernel config file: options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM The Goldstars are _very_ picky drives.

Most ATAPI CDs are supported in one way or another. Luckily enough, it's easy for you to check. Simply download the install floppy (it's a single floppy, see the instructions on the web page). Then try booting it while having a CD (any CD) in the drive. Look at the boot prompts. If you see one that talks of a device named wcd0 (it will probably tell you that it has a CD inside), then you got your CD detected. You may also, once the installation disk is up, go to options and try to set the media type to CDROM. If it works, your CD is supported. If it doesn't work the first time, there's still hope. Try connecting your CD as either the slave on the primary EIDE controller or the master on the secondary controller. Some CDs work only in one of those two ways.

The physical printer is on "lphost". # NB :you cannot perform any kind of local filtering directly.If you need local filters (e.g. LF -> CR-LF conversion for HP printers), # create a filter script that recursively calls lpd with another -P # argument after filtering.

When I do a fresh > install of 2.2.2, I get the tun0 log, and it fills normally. I'm guessing, but the log file will only be written to if it already exists. If it doesn't, then nothing happens. The fresh install of 2.2.2 probably created an empty log file, which then filled up. Your upgrade didn't.

Let's pick this apart a bit. user logs into a guest account on server A. They run this modified passwd program to change another user's password (their own password actually). How do servers B and C get updated? Here, you run into the same problem as using /usr/bin/passwd as a login shell.

This is a serious limitation in "lpd". So you have to make one "user" entry that have the filter and one entry for the network printing. The filter has to end in | /usr/bin/lpr -PRlp to pipe the output from filtering to the network entry in your printcap. You may have to use different queue directorys not to confuse lpd but I'm not sure about that. You have a PostScript printer so another option is that you don't print directly with "lpr" but uses GNU "enscript" instead. It has many nice options. I wrote my own filter (about 6 pages Perl) for a PostScript printer that handles this and ascii to PostScript conversion, tray selection and order, duplex printing, more than one page on the same paper (n-up) and some other features. Unfortunately the PostScript codes that is to be inserted is not the same for all printers but I will write some documentation for it and put it up for download somewhere. /kgb From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 21 02:48:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA03472 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 21 Jul 1997 02:48:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wormhole.starfleet.gov (root@ppp6166.la.inreach.net [199.107.160.166]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA03465 for ; Mon, 21 Jul 1997 02:48:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from voyager.starfleet.gov (voyager.starfleet.gov [192.160.60.3]) by wormhole.starfleet.gov (8.8.5/8.8.5-STARFLEET) with ESMTP id CAA10101 for ; Mon, 21 Jul 1997 02:49:00 -0700 Received: from localhost (dburr@localhost) by voyager.starfleet.gov (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id CAA02045 for ; Mon, 21 Jul 1997 02:48:50 -0700 (PDT) X-Authentication-Warning: voyager.starfleet.gov: dburr owned process doing -bs Date: Mon, 21 Jul 1997 02:48:49 -0700 (PDT) From: Donald Burr X-Sender: dburr@voyager.starfleet.gov To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: "make" the "world" a better place -- how?

You can check what packages you have installed by using pkg_info (see its man page). However, there's no way to check what distributions you have installed. Simply check whatever you want to *add* and sysinstall will add it for you. Checking something you already have should cause no damage (except, maybe, for the bin distribution) because you normally don't modify files that are part of the distribution. > > Thanks > > Marco Molteni > Computer Science student at the Universita' di Milano, Italy. > "The time has come", the Walrus said, "to talk of many things".

No, but it may be necessary to run "make includes" before (see recent threads, both in this list and in hackers).

It shouldn't, but to be on the safe side, back it up. BTW, if you make world with new sources that have changes in some files in /etc, you'll have to merge /usr/src/etc and /etc yourself. > > 4.

The compilation happens in (by default) /usr/obj, although you can change it. A big win if you have multiple disks is to put /usr/src on one disk and /usr/obj on another[1]. Not sure how much disk space you need. Probably as much again as the source code takes up, although that's only a rough estimate. > 2. Is "make world" the only command I need to run? (i.e. do I have to, > for example, run "make depend" before doing it, and/or "make install" > afterwards?) 'make world' will *generally* do everything you need to build and install a working system. There are occasions when you might need to make another target first. There's no hard and fast rule for when this might be. Typically, a heads-up will appear in the -current mailing list if this is the case. For example, recently it's been necessary to run 'make includes' before 'make world' when compiling -current. If you do 'make world' and it doesn't complete, check the mailing lists, check the mailing list archives, and if that doesn't solve the problem, post to -current (or -stable) or whatever, and describe the problem. > 3. Will "make world" overwrite my configuration files (I have a lot of > them, like /etc/sendmail.cf, /etc/amd.map, /etc/rc.local, etc.)? Need > I back them up before running it? 'make world' won't touch /etc. You need to 'upgrade /etc by hand'. Check out http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/upgrade/upgrade.html which is a detailed tutorial on how to do this. > 4.

Generally, (and to use sendmail as an example) # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail # make all # make install If you look at the top level Makefile in /usr/src you'll see it recursively calls other Makefiles with some standard targets.

Message-Id: <97072111552128000@mail1.pcom.de> The 2.2.2 FAQ does not explain how to set the console's alpha matrix to higher than 80x25 (e.g. 80x50). I've experimented a lot with term50 env variables, 8x8 screen fonts and with Soren Schmidt's vidcontrol program (which, BTW, blanks all screens until next reboot). Perhaps you could add this in the next release's FAQs. Some other FreeBSD related questions - perhaps you could forward them to the appropriate destination: 1.) reboot -p/ fastboot/ fasthalt do not work reliable. To restart after changes in my system configuration, I need a *soft* boot, but don't want to use the reset button, as the POST takes quite long. Sometimes, reboot -p initiates a soft boot, but often leaves me with a beeping system which can only be restarted with a hard reset. 2.) In the shells, there is no history function with cursor up/ down keys like DOSKEY, NT or OS/2's key variable for cmd.exe, or even with Linux shells. Like NextStep's csh, the FreeBSD shells lack cursor history key support. 3.) Logins and events on other consoles _destroy_ text screens on all consoles! I use to login as root, so all events are echoed on any console. When ee, man or mc (Midnight Commander) is running on other virtual consoles, the text output of these programs is hence destroyed. There is also a mysterious error message "unknown login_getclass 'root'" 4.) Installation: /stand/sysinstall did not create any /etc/sysconfig file. Consequence: rc.conf had to be modified manually to enable at least an appropriate keyboard layout. The boot screen recommends to "switch to /etc/rc.conf ASAP" to eliminate this warning - what means ASAP? 5.) File system support could be much better: I am very sorry to see that NextSteps BSD Fast File system cannot be mounted in FreeBSD. I only reserved 200MB for A5h FS type, whereas the A7h FS partiton is 575MB with an additonal A7h swap partition on the second physical hard disk. Neither FAT with LFN's, HPFS or NTFS file systems are supported, while this is true with Linux. FreeBSD currently only supports FAT with 8+3 filenames. On the other hand, switching among DOS|WIN (-> NTldr), NextStep, FreeBSD and OS/2 with OS/2's BootMgr is straightforward (requires a patched MBR).

Use program rawrite, and mainly, _READ_ all README.DOC, INSTALL.DOC etc. on your installation kit. Nobody can install fbsd without it.

In the top of the screen under the title "FreeBSD Label Editor" were the following headings: Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- only (nothing under them) and the command at the bottom. When I tried A -> You can only do this in a disk slice (at top of screen). When I tried C -> You can only do this in a master partition (see top of screen). When I tied M = Mount pt. -> Specify a mount point for the partition. I wasn't sure what was required so I didn't try guessing. I saw from Help that the following should have been set up: Name Purpose MinSize Option ---- ------- ------- ------ / Root filesystem 20MB No swap swap space 2 * Mem No /usr system usre files 80MB Yes I was anable to do so, so, as a result, the subsequent sceens of the installation were as follows: No root device found - you must label the partition as / in the label editor. No swap devices - you must create at least one swap partition. WARNING: No /usr filesystem found. This ... WARNING: No /var file system found ... Couldn't make filesystem properly. Aborting. I also used setup to copy files from the CD to my DOS partition, which it did in a directory called FREEBSD. However, I was not clear on how to make use of this. I got the impression that I need to concatenate some of these files after reading About. As you can see I am a novice with Unix, although I do have a little experience with this operating system. I hope I have given you enough information to allow you to help me to get the system installed. I have not compressed the Win95 nor created any partitions with DOS utilities. All I need to do for a start is to be able to run Unix and C for a course that I am doing. I hope eventually to be able to support your efforts - keep up the good work!

Well, sort of. man edquota says, that it has a -g group option. But I think, it's a limit of all of them, and not for everybody in the group. But what about the -p (prototype) option? Eg: group staff has the members: staff1, staff2, staff3, etc, so in the group file there is a line: $ grep '^staff:' /etc/group staff::1234:staff1,staff2,staff3,etc $ edquota staff1 $ edquota -p staff1 `grep '^staff:' /etc/group|cut -d: -f4|sed -e 's/staff1,//' -e 's/,/ /g'` $ But I think you cannot set a soft limit, which is bigger than a hard limit ;-) Maybe the opposite.

Although I haven't tried this, and there may be a question as to if you can cram all of the install stuff in 100MB, concievably it should be possible. You might try doing a DOS install from it, or if it's available, format a disk using UFS and duplicate the CD or FTP heirarchy on it and point to it in a UFS install. The Zip must be a SCSI version and you must have a supported SCSI controller. The parallel version is not supported in the system at current, although a third party driver is available. Just put the disk in before you start and it should be detected as a SCSI disk (sd0). A quick calculate shows that all of it won't fit. You can't put on the entire source at once and still fit bin, X, and the rest on the Zip. Of course, you can always manually extract the source after you're installed. 17345 bin 44272 XF8632 3265 catpages 1403 des 1323 dict 2108 doc 2686 games 1511 info 3912 manpages 38874 src == ~118MB Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 21 09:36:00 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA22314 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 21 Jul 1997 09:36:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts10-line11.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.109]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA22299 for ; Mon, 21 Jul 1997 09:35:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA01216; Mon, 21 Jul 1997 09:35:46 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 21 Jul 1997 09:35:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Gary Saunders cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Installation In-Reply-To: <33D36CC7.40D4@netconnect.com.au> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 22 Jul 1997, Gary Saunders wrote: > I am trying to install on a PC with a 1.04 GB hard drive. > I tried to install from a boot floppy made from the CD and directly from > the > CD with the same result: > In FDISK Partition Editor - I have the following (Disk Geometry > from > pfdisk): > Disk Name wd0 > DISK Geometry: 527 cycles/64 heads/63 sectors = 2124864 sectors > > Offset Size End Name Type Dest Subtype Flags > 0 63 62 - 6 unused 0 > 63 2124801 2124863 wd0s1 2 fat 6 = > 2124864 6048 2130911 - 6 unused 0 A > > In the next screen - FreeBSD Label Editor - is where I couldn't get > commands > to work or didn't know what to do. You didn't select a slice to install FreeBSD to. Since this disk is fully allocated you'll either have to destroy your FAT slice, shrink it with FIPS or Partition Magic, or use another disk. You must have a slice with Dest "freebsd" before the Label Editor will allow you to change anything.

Or what is maxusers max? :) 32 is the standard limit. It's quite a misnomer actually, maxusers is a factor in many kernel table sizes. Set it to whatever you feel comfortable with; if you have problems with running out of table spaces in the kernel, go bump it up some and recompile.

It depends on your application, I would guess. One thing that isn't mentioned on the MMX is that the level 1 cache has been increased from 16 to 32 kbytes, which is a gigantic win for most applications.

Then the system start to act cracy. Where is this? There isn't a system utility called 'mc' as far as I can find, at least in versions < 2.2.2. If it crashes and thus causes the system to crash, perhaps you shouldn't be using it? :) > What I can find in this situation is that the rc.conf-file starts to be > corrupted.

I've noticed problems with rc.conf generation as well, and you're the second one today to mention repeating lines. In the meantime, if you get sidetracked you might try rebooting and starting over to clear up sysinstall's state if it gets turned around. Oh, Jordan...

Turns out the multi I/O chip kicks out a spare IRQ 7 whenever the serial port is closed. I had a quickcam installed at the time using that irq, so everytime the port closed it took a picture in space and scrambled the kernel stack, causing a panic. Disabling the qcam driver stopped the problem. > Any thoughts on this problem?

The dump was done with the command: rdump 0unBbf 2000000 32 peppe@rs5:/dev/rmt0.1 /u1 under FreeBSD 2.2-BETA using a remote tape installed on a RISC/6000 running 3.2.5.1. Now I'm trying to restore (by name) the tape content with the command "restore xvf" and the restore command ask me to "Specify next volume #: " where the dump was all on a single tape file (actually the tape contain other four before and one after filesystems I restored correctly with the same command). I even extracted the dump from the tape on a file with the dd command and I obtain always the same result. The restore command acts like the dump was contained in more than one volume, where I'm almost sure was done o a single 2.3Gb tape. Where is the problem? What I did or I'm doing wrong?

I generally have a good idea of what I want to do, but no clear idea of how to get there. A sampling of the questions/problems I've had so far: How can I login as root from a remote location? How do I partition and format a 2nd hard disk? Is there an easy way to create a new account? Can FreeBSD support my old Thomas-Conrad 5045 Ethernet adapter? How do I get Apache running, since sysinstall can't find it? If anyone knows of a good way to start learning this stuff, I'd like to hear it.

If I use the following version of /etc/csh.login with a "setenv LANG" statement uncommented, the script is executed when I login but it never gets to the "echo 300" line. If I comment the line, everything is fine, but I can't use the proper locale. If I uncomment the "setenv LC_CTYPE" line, about the same thing happens, but the script execution stops with about 15 characters of garbage written to the terminal. Any ideas I could try? I run a Pentium 200 MHz with 64M RAM, 3 ISA ports and 4 PCI ports. I was previously running FreeBSD 2.1.0 and I customized the csh.login of 2.2.2 by integrating most statements of the version I ran under 2.1.0. I installed 2.2.2 over a newly formatted partition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- echo START csh.login # System-wide .login file for csh(1). # Uncomment this to give you the default 4.2 behavior, where disk # information is shown in K-Blocks setenv BLOCKSIZE K # Uncomment this two lines to activate Russian locale # setenv LANG ru_RU.KOI8-R # setenv MM_CHARSET KOI8-R # Uncomment this two lines to activate Italian locale # setenv LANG it_IT.ISO_8859-1 # setenv MM_CHARSET ISO-8859-1 # For full locales list check /usr/share/locale/* # For the fr_CA locale: #setenv LANG fr_CA.ISO_8859-1 # this is the line that causes the behavior setenv MM_CHARSET ISO-8859-1 echo 100 # Read system messages # msgs -f # Allow terminal messages # mesg y # Version du 97-07-20 par Pierre Sarrazin. # To make vi 8-bit clean (96-05-13): #setenv LC_CTYPE lt_LN.ISO_8859-1 # cette ligne fait freaker le systeme --PS 970720 # Controle de flot CTS/RTS pour le momem (95-12-04) if (`tty` == /dev/ttyd1) stty crtscts # Pour eviter les coredump: limit coredumpsize 0 echo 200 set path=(/usr/local/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/games) mesg y # pour permettre les talk et les write echo 300 setenv XWINHOME /usr/X11R6 setenv XFILESEARCHPATH /usr/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%S:/usr/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%S:/usr/lib/X11/%T/%N%S echo 400 setenv MANPATH /usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:$XWINHOME/man #setenv PAGEINITLYNX /usr/local/txt/public_html/index.html setenv MAIL /var/mail/$USER echo FIN csh.login --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Pierre Sarrazin [Montreal] From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 21 16:52:00 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA20814 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 21 Jul 1997 16:52:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cedb.dpcsys.com (cedb.DPCSYS.com [209.25.4.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA20807 for ; Mon, 21 Jul 1997 16:51:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dan@localhost) by cedb.dpcsys.com (8.8.5/8.8.2) with SMTP id XAA10076; Mon, 21 Jul 1997 23:51:52 GMT Date: Mon, 21 Jul 1997 16:51:52 -0700 (PDT) From: Dan Busarow To: Vincent Rodriguez cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD and Windows In-Reply-To: <33D3DF77.A458B798@thevine.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 21 Jul 1997, Vincent Rodriguez wrote: > Does anyone know if there is a command that can be used to start a > Windows session through UN*X??

In /etc/rc.firewall, after the allow all from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 rule add a rule '/sbin/ipfw add deny all from 0.0.0.255:0.0.0.255' Note that the above only blocks the broadcast address of class C networks - you should adjust if you use subnet sizes other than /24. > Also, while on the topic of ipfw, does anyone know how much processor > overhead ipfw adds to the system ?

A 686-120/P150+ with 500 rules and passing 200 pps amounting to more than 512kbps runs at about 4.5% CPU in 'system'.

I'd guess that F9 tries to do something funny to get "info". Normally that probably wouldn't be bad, but I'm guessing in this case, the tool was running as root and had free reign to do bad things (tm). The rule here should be, before you try some neat new utility ported over from Dos->Linux->FBSD try it thoroughly as a regular user first. It's really not a good idea to run big unfamiliar programs as root...

Use netstat and a script to get the numbers, mrtg just wants numbers to graph.. Also you could install the firewalling, I belive that will give you the info you want.

Noticed this behavior on 2.2.1-Rel CD too. I've done three installs over a lan here and the sysinstall on both floppy and hard disk does this "two things checked" when I only did one - although the install seems to be fine. Other little wiggles... 1. On one install, I boo boo the lan config part and sysinstall anounces a successful install after about one second. It just thought I was sucessful. I know better and do it right the second time. 2. I have never been able to get a package off of the CD, even when I do it as part of the install process. The error says something like "unable to fetch...", even though it reads the index, lists all the possibles and successfully gets the OS and X windows parts installed!? 3. In the "options" part of the sysinstall process, I *must* set the name to "none" not FREEBSD 2.2.1 (I think) and the FTP location to the IP of the machine with the CDROM - no directory name. (see below) I'm running an ethernet lan w/NE2000 clones in three machines. A *10yr* old 386sx 16MB and a 200MB MaxStor (very liesurely X and emacs), WinNT 32MB and 500MB - CDROM, 486 133 server w/3.5Gig (2 spindles). The latter runs Apache, htDig and Isearch. All run NFS (well the NT sort of...). Please ask me specific questions, it's the only way I can help sort out sysinstall. I'm not a programmer or even particularly comp lit. For all of you trying your first install, I built this lan, with *very* little experience, but by: 1. Reading ALL the READMEs DOCs etc. *before* installing. 2. Planning. 3. Backing up. 4. Doing it, with patience - don't rush it. It does work.:-) [sermon over] Anyway, it keeps me out of the ... , nevermind.;-) John On Mon, 21 Jul 1997, Doug White wrote: > On Sun, 20 Jul 1997, William Wong wrote: > > > I just got a hold of the 2.2.2-RELEASE CD and went for an install on one of my > > disks.

No. FreeBSD has many, many applications available for it which you can install without little or no programming skill. It makes a great workstation or network server. For a list of applications you can load for free via FTP or CD-ROM, see: http://FreeBSD.org/applications.html > I understand that C language it is used to develop this OS. Do I > have to learn C?. I did long time ago and do not remember much of it. No. If you need to do some custom programming, C is one choice, but there are numerous others, ranging from C++ and Java, to tcl, perl, python, expect, etc. For a more complete listing of computer languages that come with FreeBSD, see: http://FreeBSD.org/where.htm#apps If you mostly need UNIX applications, you will probably find what you need already available for FreeBSD. The URLs above will show you much of what is available; the rest of the FreeBSD.org web site will fill you in completely. Welcome! -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Thanks in > advance. > > Steve Wilson > swwilso1@uiuc.edu There seems to be a problem with later versions of the 2.2-RELENG branch on specific hardware configurations. There's still not an explenation to why it happens, nor a complete list of configurations that cause it. The workaround would be to use either an older 2.2 install disk (like the one from 2.2.1) or a newer 3.0-current install disk to install 2.2.2. Once you install it you should be OK (you can then even run /stand/sysinstall on your 2.2.2 system). When installing with a floppy from another version, be sure to modify the version in the Options screen to the one you're actually installing.

The same transfere rate is when I try to transfer a file from int_router to mail_hub or even from ext_router to mail_hub!

Hardware: Supermicro P6DNF motherboard with 1 200MH PPro and 128MB RAM, Diamond video card (PCI), Adaptec 2940UW, and the above mentioned ethernet card. Software: FreeBSD 2.2.2, from the Walnut Creek CD. It worked once, generating messages about "Unknown PHY 7" -- I found in the archives that Intel had revised the card, but that the message should be harmless. I also found that -current had a newer version of the driver that included a definition for PHY 7, so I started downloading ctm files to upgrade the machine (counting on the upgraded driver having been merged into 2.2). We had to shut the machine down before the download finished; this morning, it locked up tighter than a drum when doing the ifconfig fxp0 -- the keyboard LEDs wouldn't even toggle. We rebooted single user && commented out fxp0 in /etc/rc.conf, which allowed the machine to boot, but it hung again when we entered the ifconfig, except in this case the cursor also disappeared. Did we just get a bad Ethernet card?

Your ISP will shoot you. You should not masquerade as another host > without permission. Why is this so evil? If I run a stand-alone machine connected only via dynamic PPP, I want things like Sender: to look like a valid hostname, which it won't unless I do some masquerading. I know this isn't The Right Thing To Do but this is a (IMO) reasonable response to the plethora of broken software (both autoresponders and clients) out there. If my ISP didn't charge so much for a static IP address or to host a domain name, I'd go with one of those (far superior) solutions. -Jay From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 22 11:39:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA17951 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 22 Jul 1997 11:39:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fyeung5.netific.com (netific.vip.best.com [205.149.182.145]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA17943 for ; Tue, 22 Jul 1997 11:39:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fyeung8.netific.com (fyeung8 [204.238.125.8]) by fyeung5.netific.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) with SMTP id LAA00348; Tue, 22 Jul 1997 11:48:32 -0700 Received: by fyeung8.netific.com (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA20218; Tue, 22 Jul 1997 11:46:34 -0700 Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 11:46:34 -0700 From: fyeung@fyeung8.netific.com (Francis Yeung) Message-Id: <9707221846.AA20218@fyeung8.netific.com> To: wwong@wiley.csusb.edu, dwelch@cthulu.com Subject: Re: sysinstall buggy?

Guess who got all the hate mail from his kali, quake, and porn lists ;) I sent him several warnings asking that he change his masquerade to something else and/or not send mail as root@, but after three weeks I cancelled his account because of the bad reputation on the net we were starting to get from his "visceral" mailings.

What I'm wondering, however, is what's really supposed to be in /stand/sysinstall and what ought to be done to it after an upgrade: jkh@time-> more ERRATA.TXT Last minute errata: ------------------- o login as root produces "login_getclass: unknown class 'root'" on system console. Fix: If you have the source distribution installed, simply cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc otherwise, get it from the FreeBSD FTP site using this URL: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/login.conf instead. Simply cd to /etc and then run fetch(1) with the provided URL. 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. --------------------end of text of ERRATA.TXT------------------ [Note in above (errata in ERRATA) "sysconfig" should by "sysinstall"] I've got 2.2.2-STABLE (as of June 30 or so) done with a make world, but of course the new sysinstall did not get installed in /stand, and it seems not to have gotten built either, so I built it, moved the old sysinstall to another directory, and copied the new one to /stand/sysinstall, discovering that all the files there were dated November 18, 1995, and are apparently from the first install done in this partition (2.1). They also have sizes of 456940 and 802816. These files did not disappear when the old sysinstall got moved. There are 60+ files in /stand (including a couple of directories). When the files are compared with their counterparts in /usr/bin or wherever they differ by one character only. A fresh install of 2.2.2-R from cdrom on the same machine (in a different partition) has only 20-some files (all reporting a size of 1060864, except for directories and sysintall itself) in the /stand directory; I copied the newly built sysinstall there. The file size is 1060864 except for the directories. If sysinstall is simply a gigantic binary and the files aren't really there, why didn't the files in 2.2.2-S change when the sysinstall binary was changed? What really ought to be in that directory anyway? I suppose I could delete the entire contents on the 2.2.2-S partition and copy the 2.2.2-R contents into it.....

Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To: bind-bugs@isc.org Subject: Fixes for bind-8.1.1-T1A on FreeBSD-2.1.7.1 (and earlier) From: sthaug@nethelp.no Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 15:38:53 +0200 bind-8.1.1-T1A doesn't compile "out of the box" on FreeBSD-2.1.7.1 and earlier. This is partly my fault - when I did the original FreeBSD port, I didn't have any 2.1.7.1 system to test on (only 2.2 and newer). I still don't have a 2.1.7.1 system, but I've compiled 8.1.1-T1A on a 2.2 system, but in a 2.1.7.1 *changerooted* environment (ie. 2.1.7.1 include files, compilers etc). There's only one real problem: The following line from port/settings tickles a bug in the 2.1.7.1 sh: eval "env=`echo \\${\$var-'$val'}`" and you get the error message: port/settings: 1: Syntax error: Bad substitution The enclosed diff fixes this for FreeBSD 2.1.7.1. The resulting named runs fine on FreeBSD 2.2. I've also verified that the same .settings file (as the original) is produced on these platforms: SunOS 4.1.3/gcc Solaris 2.5.1/gcc Digital Unix 3.2G/cc HP-UX 10.20/cc when doing an "out of the box" compile (make clean; make depend; make). Note that I've only verified that .settings is equal - I haven't tried running 8.1.1-T1A named on all these platforms. One other change suggested for FreeBSD-2.1.7.1 and earlier: AF_INET6 is undefined in 2.1.7.1 and earlier, and defined to be 28 in 2.2 and newer (/usr/include/sys/socket.h). port/freebsd/include/port_after.h currently defines AF_INET6 as 24 (if undefined). I'd suggest changing this to 28, to be compatible with newer versions of FreeBSD.

The system as a whole survives, but many programs dump core. Anyone know what's happening? Cache inconsistency seems like a likely culprit. I disabled the L1 cache from the setup, and got the same result (but much slower 8-). I hope to try the SMP FreeBSD. Perhaps I should jump to some variant of Fbsd 3 and see if the problem disappears.

A modicum of security is provided by having different read and write community strings. You could also use access lists/filters to control packet source/destination. Of course, neither of these is foolproof.

Did you install StarOffice as user (AFTER installation of this port)? Check if you have ~/.sd.sh and ~/.sd.csh and if so just include an appropriate one (for bash it seems to be .sd.sh) in your ~/.bashrc (or perhaps in ~/.profile). If not - simply run /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/setup AS USER (this should copy all nessessary files and create StarOffice directory in your home directory and so on). Hope this helps.

I saved it to a floppy disk and now want to copy it to FreeBSD to install it. I booted up FreeBSD and tried this: cp /dev/fd0 /home/myname The copy command places a file called fd0 in my home dirrectory. I tried to rename the file fd0 to the name of the file it was supposed to copy. I tried to unzip it and nothing happened. I'm not sure what it coppied. My question is how do I copy just a single file off my floppy disk to my home dirrectory in FreeBSD or maybee can this be done? I tried specifying the file name with the copy command but I just got the error message "file or directory does not exist" Can I even get a dirrectory listing from my floppy drive? I tried: ls /dev/fd0 but nothing happened. Your help would be greatly appriciated.

You probably copied the device special file. If you want to access the files on a disk, you need to mount it first. For a MS-DOS formatted disk, do the following as root: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt The files will appear at /mnt as the root of the disk. When you're done, do umount /mnt before ejecting the disk.

Now if only the ISC will see fit to include it. :) Fred wrote to me indicating that he got it to work, so more power to him. In any case, I agree that upgrading to FreeBSD 2.2.x is still a better option. :) The only thing that confuses me is whether or not I should install the 8.1.1 libs in the real locations, or leave them in the "safe" directories that the installation routine puts them in. It runs fine following all the defaults, so I haven't messed with the other yet. I plan to set up a test system to fool with asap, but it's not a priority. Anyone have experience with this?

Yup. Another one bytes the dust (pun intended). UR is still worth the (Free) subscription, but only to get the monthly diatribes of Stan Kelly-Bootle, and the occasional bit of UNIX knowlege. It seems that most of the rag is filled with yet another mindless review of some $100,000+ server system for IS types and articles on how to make UNIX and NT cohabitate (which is against the LAW here in UTAH. ;^) > I guess there's still Dr. Dobb's Journal, though even that is much > less than it used to be.

Most of the rest of them aren't worth the kerosene it would take to burn them. I still find the articles in SunWorld Online useful, especially the series on "career management", see http://www.sun.com/sunworldonline/ It's about the best technical webzine I've found. For instance, I just learned that Sun is popping a new line of PCI-bus SPARCstations later this year.

The real problem is the damned Clintons, er, liberals think they can raise our children "better" than we can, and want to control this (and all other) aspects of our lives. I'm truly sick and tired of this "It takes a village to raise a child" crap - it takes a Mommie and Daddy who care about, and CARE FOR the child. If the child is downloading pornography or talking to strangers on the net, the child needs to get his or her shell set to 'nologin', amongst other corrective behavior.

In addition to the UNIX SA book by Nemeth, Seebass, et al. recommended by Doug White, you'll want a copy of TCP/IP Network Administration from O'Reilly and Associates. It has enough about DNS to get you up and running, but you've already ordered DNS and Bind. Any of the O'Reilly "blue" series will be helpful, but buy them as you need them. Others in the series include Sendmail (bat book) and NFS/NIS. I'm a big fan of the O'Reilly series. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

This might be a fixed vs. variable blocksize problem; this used to bite me going between SunOS and HP-UX. I know the blocksize is configurable on Solaris by editing a control file for the SCSI tape driver, I just don't remember which file.

The reported error message is /path/scriptname: I/O error. The problem was also initially experienced when trying to run the scripts manually although after rebuilding the kernel and including the devfs facilities the situation improved. The situation appears to be as follows:- 1) if the required amd mount has already been made no problems are experienced under any circumstances. 2) if the required amd mount does not already exist manually running the script will succeed 95% or more of the time, cron however will fail 100% of the time. This is a change in behaviour since 2.2.1 (same scripts, same amd maps etc) and is driving me mad. If anyone knows of any timing changes that were made to 2.2.2 that are relevant to this problem or any other possible solution I would be very grateful.

Try setting the CD as the slave of the same controller as the one you have the hard disk on. Sometimes this works better. Also make sure that the jumpers on the CD are set appropriately (i.e. master in its current configuration and slave if you move it) and have a CD in the drive when you boot the install floppy.

I must be from the old school. Shell set to nologin hell. What about a hand applied to the rear end. It isn't a Liberal versus conservative thing. It's an "I'm too busy with my pretentious lifestyle to parent" thing. There's actually something to this "It takes a village" stuff. When I was a kid if any neighbors caught me doing anything that I shouldn't do they would have called my folks and my folks would've nailed me. Now they just turn the other way or whine to the child welfare authorities. My mother was a teacher for 30 years in both nice, wealthy suburbs and Bedford Stuyvesant and Brownsville New York (pretty tough inner city areas). When she called the parents of a kid in NY -- both parents, who couldn't afford to miss work showed up. In the suburbs, the mother of one kid asked to have the parent teacher conference moved from Wednesday, because "It's my tennis day."

Other people use FreeBSD just fine for their newsserver, and I did too, but I would get these random fs-related crashes. John Dyson looked at them, and said "yep, looks like some vnode locking problems", and patched up 3.0 (as far as I can tell). However, the patches never made it into 2.2.2.

Log into X and in an xterm, run: xrdb -query | grep customization verify that it prints: *customization: -color If not, you need to update your ~/.xinitrc. For now, "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" and check again. 2) Verify you have the appropriate XTerm-color app-default file installed at: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color. This file should exist and contain lines of the form: *VT100*color0: black *VT100*color1: red3 *VT100*color2: green3 *VT100*color3: yellow3 ... 3) Verify that your environment will let XTerm find this file. For testing use (assuming csh/tcsh syntax): unsetenv XAPPLRESDIR unsetenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH setenv XFILESEARCHPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%T/%N%S 4) You should now almost surely have color capability. Fire up and xterm and try a few tests. If all else fails, use ktrace to see what's going on: su ktrace /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm ^C kdump | search down to "app-defaults" and verify it's finding XTerm-color. 5) Also verify that you're really running the XFree 3.3 xterm.

What kind of printer do you have? "man -t " will write postscript to stdout. If you have a postscript printer then simply pipe it into lpr. If you don't have a postscript printer you might seriously consider inserting ghostscript in your lpr filters. These days having a postscript printer is about as handy as an FPU, you can live without, but its a pain.

I'm forwarding this on over to the multimedia list since it's more likely to be noticed by a person that can help you there. Maybe someone has used Sujal Patel's ISA PnP tools to help config their SB16-compatible card. In any case, the sound driver is in the process of being updated by Amancio, Luigi, and the gang, and there's been mention of adding PnP support to this revised driver, so you may want to subscribe to the multimedia list, help out by trying the latest drivers, and express an interest in the plug and pray support. BTW, the latest cut of the driver's are on Amancio's FTP site: ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/guspnp12.tar.gz Ignore the filename -- its confusing. It's intended for a wider audience than just GUS owners. In case it helps, I have a SB32 non-PnP and am using the same driver configuration you are, with the exception that my sb0 is on IRQ 5, not 7, and I don't have the "conflicts" specified. I'd try that if you can. If no luck there, your problems are likely PnP-related.

I'd try an upgrade so version 4.x or 5.x. I'm on 4.03, and the output looks good to me. The fonts are named differently on this version too -- they're .pfb's, not .gsf's (no clue). So maybe there's something in that. I've got 5.0 downloaded, but not installed yet. As soon as I need to print the PostScript generated by AcroRead again, I'll be trying it out -- it's supposed to support the compressed embedded fonts in the PostScript output that throws older GhostScripts for a loop.

I have an ATI Rage II card with 4 meg of video memory, and my mouse is a ps2 style. I have ps2 set up in the xf86config program as the mouse type and a device of /dev/psm0. I also set up the kernel with xserver, uconsole, and removed the "disable" from the mouse line. Any Ideas what the above means, and how to make it work? Please let me know if I haven't supplied enough information, I am new to FreeBSD, and XFree86. Jim...

Does PostgreSQL benefit from having multiple processors? It's not safe to assume it does, IMHO. It also may not even work properly. > Please give me some advise...

I personally think you might re-examine whether you really need multiple CPU's. Going to NT isn't likely to help - my understanding is that it's so slow and inefficient to start with that plugging in 2-4 processors is required just to get even with a good single processor unix box. Mind you now, this advice is worth every penney you paid for it, and if you're lucky a few more:) If you want to stick with the PC architecture, solaris X86 and oracle is probably your most powerful combination. --- David Miller ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's *amazing* what one can accomplish when one doesn't know what one can't do!

(If I can't find a suitable free OS, I will probably be another > victim of Bill Gates; so, please HELP :-) Greetings, I've read all the warnings about -current being potentially unstable, and it sometimes *is* during various stages of it's growth. However I use it on 3 SMP machines, 2 of which stay very busy. All of them are for the most part *FAR* more stable and reliable ( and efficient ) than any of my NT 4.0 machines ( Service packs and hotfixes installed ) doing similar types of tasks. I run the mySQL database on 2 of those machines and PostgreSQL on one of them. I can't say enough good stuff about the O/S. One thing I'm careful about is backups of stable source trees prior to attempting upgrades. When I do plan upgrades I generally watch the mailing lists and plan sups during times when bug/problem reports are few. I've *never* experienced an unexplained crash with it, tho' I'm probably one of the lucky ones as there are those that have. I don't know if this influences your decision at all, and I was apprehensive at first too, but if you've ever had to fight with an NT machine, I'm sure you'll find -current to be a welcome reprieve. I know I did. All in all -current is still under development and the general recommendation seems to be to *not* use it in mission-critical applications.

((Yeah, it is old. But it goes just fine...)) The advent of a new S3VIRGE graphics card is provoking me to upgrade my X server, which in turn has led me to want to upgrade to 2.2.2. The installation documents for 2.2.2 talk about "upgrading from an earlier release". The recommend 2.0.5 users to "do a fresh installation". Now, I'd like to know what this "slice" stuff is all about, but OK, I'll believe I should do a fresh install... But what does that mean? What will it do? If I were trying to "upgrade", it is clear that it would be working with my existing file system, changing or creating directories and/or files within it as required. The installation documentation talks about starting from a new chunk of empty disk, creating partitions and so forth. What I want to know is what will happen if I try to do a "fresh installation" into a partition that already contains a FreeBSD file system? Will it work with that file system, or blow it away and start again? I obviously need to preserve some files (e.g. the system/kernel configuration files). But where can I put them that will be out from under foot? Just another directory? On the other UNIX partition within the same DOS partition? Into a DOS file system? ((Before you ask: I do have a backup of the system, taken a couple of weeks ago, but more or less current. And I'll happily put recent changes onto floppies. But my machine is a stand alone one: a bulk restore will be a medium-scale pain, as I'll have to shift the machine to work, get it onto the ethernet, track down a exabyte drive blah blah... In other words, I really want to do the upgrade using the machine alone, if that is possible. I've probably got enough disk space to move everything out of the way, but I'd feel a lot happier if there was an explicit statement of where "out of the way" was!)) TO be on the save side, I'll probably copy everything into a DOS partition on a different disk from the one where I'm going to put FreeBSD: surely *that* ought to be out of the way! But I'll be doing it wondering whether in fact all I needed to do was... well, something simpler. Whoever wrote the INSTALL.TXT file presumably thought the answer was too obvious to bother mentioning. But I`m a (sophisticated/informed) UNIX *user* who knows as little about the innards of the system as I can get away with, and it isn't obvious to me! And maybe, when I start into the install procedure, everything will become clear. But life would be better if the INSTALL document had a sentence or two telling me what would happen if I followed its advice! ((BTW: I realise this is a small point, and I don't want to seem like I'm carping. Overall, I've found FreeBSD a very solid operating system, and it has in my opinion put WIndows '95 to shame in terms of reliabilty and level of frustration induced---for instance, I've never once noticed a device "become uninstalled" under FreeBSD... Keep up the good work. )) Robert.

Since installing 2.2.2, my home machine freezes (all I/O stops) whenever it is sending data to the printer over the parallel port. This did not happen with 2.2.1, or any previous release. There have been no changes to the hardware. It looks like something is blocking too many interrupts while waiting for the printer. As soon as the data drains, everything is OK again. Pulling out the paper tray while printing a large document is a sure way to hang the machine indefinitely. Any hints on where to look for clues on what is going on sould be greatly appreciated, especially anything simpler than "systematically replace every piece of hardware" or "install 3.0-CURRENT and see what happens". At work we only have network printers, and I don't feel like strapping the LJ4MP to my bike to drag it there for testing with other PCs. - Compiling lpt.c withe debugging actually makes it "work," i.e. it doesn't hang while printing any more. - This happens both in interrupt-driven and polled mode. - It hangs with "cat file > /dev/lpt0" as well as using "lpr" - There are no diffs in lpt.c between 2.2.2 and 2.2.1 - Bangin the keyboard and frantically moving the (serial) mouse while running X once produced a zillion "sio overflows" (134 per log message, to be precise :-). I have not been able to repeat this, though. - There are no other log indications of anything being wrong. - dmesg output below (from GENERIC kernel) /Mikko Mikko Työläjärvi_____________________________________________mikko@dynas.se DynaSoft FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE #0: Sat Jun 21 16:50:23 CEST 1997 mikko@atlas.dynas.se:/usr/src/sys/compile/ATLAS CPU: Pentium (133.64-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x52c Stepping=12 Features=0x1bf real memory = 67108864 (65536K bytes) avail memory = 63733760 (62240K bytes) Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0 rev 2 on pci0:0 chip1 rev 1 on pci0:7:0 chip2 rev 0 on pci0:7:1 ncr0 rev 17 int a irq 10 on pci0:18 ncr0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ncr0:0:0): "HP C3323-300 4084" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ncr0:0:0): Direct-Access sd0(ncr0:0:0): 10.0 MB/s (100 ns, offset 8) 1003MB (2056008 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:3:0): "NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:222 3.0i" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ncr0:3:0): CD-ROM cd0(ncr0:3:0): asynchronous. can't get the size vga0 rev 6 int a irq 11 on pci0:19 Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A sio2: disabled, not probed. sio3: disabled, not probed. lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface lpt1 not found at 0xffffffff mse0 not found at 0x23c psm0: disabled, not probed. pca0 on motherboard pca0: PC speaker audio driver fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: NEC 72065B fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 1033MB (2116800 sectors), 2100 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): wd2: 406MB (832608 sectors), 826 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wt0 not found at 0x300 npx0 flags 0x1 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jul 24 01:11:23 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA16725 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 24 Jul 1997 01:11:23 -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 BAA16716 for ; Thu, 24 Jul 1997 01:11:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.8.5/8.6.12) id LAA13730; Thu, 24 Jul 1997 11:11:37 +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 sma013727; Thu Jul 24 11:11:07 1997 Message-ID: <33D70DB1.32BF@barcode.co.il> Date: Thu, 24 Jul 1997 11:09:21 +0300 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: rgsuarez@concentric.net CC: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: freebsd installation References: <33D6B29F.96@concentric.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Richie Suarez wrote: > > Hi, before I install freebsd there is a couple of things that I want > to make sure of.

If it is SCSI or ATAPI (IDE) and connected to the "main" controllers (i.e. not a sound card) it is probably supported. To check, boot the install floppy with the CD in the drive, and then truy to set the media type to CDROM (under options in the main menu). If it lets you do that, your CD was recognized. This check will not (at least it should not) touch your disk.

You better do a complete upgrade. There's no need to reinstall, you can simply upgrade, and it's pretty painless. The two main options being: 1. Choose the upgrade option on the installation disk of the version you want to upgrade to. 2. Use CVSup and upgrade your sources (requires full source tree, but lets you fetch any version you like). See the tutorials on the web site for details. If you'll upgrade just the kernel you'll probably end up with the same type of problems you have with Linux when you do that - you'll have utilities that won't work, libraries that won't match, etc. > > Another member of the League for Programming Freedom (LPF) www.lpf.org > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Brian Bartholomew - bb@wv.com - www.wv.com - Working Version, Cambridge, MA Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jul 24 01:15:46 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA16894 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 24 Jul 1997 01:15:46 -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 BAA16887 for ; Thu, 24 Jul 1997 01:15:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.8.5/8.6.12) id LAA13752; Thu, 24 Jul 1997 11:16:37 +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 sma013747; Thu Jul 24 11:16:03 1997 Message-ID: <33D70ED9.1EFA@barcode.co.il> Date: Thu, 24 Jul 1997 11:14:17 +0300 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Hans van Reenen CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: some questions before installation FreeBSD 2.2.2 References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hans van Reenen wrote: > > Hello, > > I am not sure, are the following components be able to run FreeBsd ? > > - Video: Diamond Stealth64 Video 2001 chipset S3 765 FreeBSD can use almost any graphics card.

How many > PCs are there? It is impossible to change to Ethernet_II? 1) Yes, it is 'impossible'. I have known, that to boot diskless station, novell need 802.2 or 802.3. I recomended to use bootp/dhcp, I am not sure, if it is possible. 2) I use IPX router. Before 2.2-9707xx-RELENG IPX router (== driver (!) + ipx stack in kernel + IPXrouted) can run only on net, which used only II. Another frames lead to hang/crash. _Now_ ipx stack runs as well as ip stack, e.g. on net can be all four types of frames. I would like write "IPX router runs without _any_ problem from 21/07/97", but I must wait a moment yet. 3) I am not sure, if fbsd does not support other frames. Why - see my list from netstat -r below. Pavel, I suggest, if you are novell administrator, try IPXrouter for other frames! I can't. You will need install 2.2-970713-RELENG. But I use IPXrouter on 2.2.1-RELEASE; I only replaced binaries for /kernel and /usr/sbin/IPXrouted. 4) Small explanation: usually are on one interface three novell nets. For example, on interface ep3 are novell nets 110, 111, 112 with frames 802.2, II, 802.3. (I don't understand the end of routing table; 1 may be snap frame). Because frames 802.2, 802.3 _are used_, I think, that ipx stack can know also 'other' frames.

When Windoze or OS/2 is up and I ping from other UNIX Servers I get a MAC of 00:02:35:1f:b3:fd. Where am I going wrong? pccardc dumpcis recognizes the adapter as being able to use IRQ 10, but when I try it it makes no change and the other opsys recognize the adapter on IRQ 15. I guess the base address that is wrong ? I've tried 0xd0000 and 0xd4000 as well. Anyone have clues ? thanks, domenic -- `""""""' Domenico P. "drzook" Miele, P. Eng., M. Eng.

But you have to have good knowledge of structure. See here(7). I don't use /var as fbsd-partition and I have links on /tmp, /var/crash, /var/mail, /var/tmp, /usr/obj, /usr/src, /usr/X11R6/src, (/usr/local) etc. I also have links on all files in /etc, which I changed. You must install (with sysinstall) at least set bin. See also /etc/daily, weekly, monthly. 4.4 BSD structure is very clever and clear, on diference from 4.2 or 4.3.

I was under the impression that the scanner was reporting itself as a processor (and this is what the docs for the driver said it would do) but it was really reporting itself as a type 6 (scanner... imagine that :) I thought that processor target and unknown target had some different functionality...

Possibly I've missed it somehow? ----- I notice that ports-current has just upgraded to Apache 1.3a1. Here's what the Apache home page has to say about this release: "Apache 1.3a1 is a public alpha of the forthcoming Apache 1.3, an update which includes several new enhancements, including the ability to run under Microsoft Windows NT and 95. This is an alpha release, and is for experimental purposes; use at your own risk. It is available in source format only, so a compiler is neccessary to use it (Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 for Windows). " "If you are not familiar with software development, and wish to use a stable, working, web server, we strongly reccomend you download Apache 1.2.1 instead. Please report any bugs you find.

This is a beta release, and not even the most recent beta release prior to the official 1.2.0 release. The current stable release of Apache is 1.2.1, which I can't find anywhere in the ports collection (nor can I find 1.2.0). Here's what the Apache home page has to say about the 1.2 branch: "Apache 1.2.1 is now available. This is a maintenance release, with numerous bug fixes from 1.2.0. The 1.2 series has been well tested and is a stable platform. If you are running any beta of 1.2, or any older version of the Apache HTTP server, you should upgrade to this release for both stability and security reasons." ------ Unless I've missed something, it seems to me we're giving users the choice of the obsolete 1.2b10, from which Apache developers recommend an upgrade for "stability and security reasons", and the alpha Apache 1.3a1. But, no choice for the stable and recommended 1.2.1, or its predecessor 1.2.0. I would think this is a mistake?

Any ideas? You might check your login.conf and make sure you have the appropriate users have enough processes available. You might try sending mail to yourself and watch 'top' and make sure you don't have any runaway processes either.

Since you're crossing branches (2.1->2.2), that makes this more difficult. If you just upgrade your kernel, ps/top/pstat/related kernel-specific utilities will all cease functioning. You could grab the source for these and rebuild them. Plus, you'll need to get the linux LKM source for 2.2 and rebuild the LKM.

Yes, you can use the password expiry feature to do this. See passwd(5). Set the expiration to 1 second. This value isn't propagated after they change the password. You can modify adduser to automatically stick this in pretty easily, as long as you can do Perl.

The most common response was to make sure disk spindown (an important feature for power-poor laptops) was diabled or at least curtailed. Well, I've now officially tried everything I could think of: 0) Used advanced power control to build the kernel (in the linux distribution) with no luck. Also, tried to boot using the PAO boot floppy supplied on one of the freebsd page links with no luck 1) Carefully mapped out bad blocks (sectors)... using the DOS program scandisk and bad144 (from linux I think). There are 8 clusters of them where some evil force danced on my 2.06G disk during manufacture (probably) 2) Tried to format the disk for bsd using the bad block check: it hangs EVERY time with the hateful messages wd0: interrupt timeout: wd0: status 50 error 0 wd0: interrupt timeout: wd0: status 50 error 1 for hours without seeming progress 3) Did not check for bad blocks: Successful Installation! and then later (as you'd probably expect since it does not know where the disk-pits are) the kernel panics and system dies. 4) I even tried to partition around where the disk seemed to be failing, also to no avail. 5) Someone suggested that the disk might be overheating. Pretty reasonable since the Toshiba decides to shut down if it gets too hot. So (you can laugh it you'd like) I got an ice pack (gel pack actually) and placed it under the disk (portion of the casing), elevated the casing and then brought my standup fan nearby and let'er rip. Papers were curling and flying around occasionally, the disk stayed cool to the touch (not cold), AND BSD STILL HUNG ON BAD BLOCKS. It also still died later with kernel panics when I did not check for bad blocks. So, after quite a few sleepless nights, I've given up for now. The Toshiba folks wanted to take my machine away on retreat to discuss the problem with it. I declined the offer since when I asked whether any had experience with BSD of linux, fsck and the like, blank phone stares ensued. Meanwhile, Linux is happily purring away. On installation, it encounters the bad disk spots, hiccups and carries on. Of course, after an unclean shut down linux becomes an ax murderer depositing various file parts in lost+found. Needless to say the already installed Windows95 seemed to work flawlessly and I COULD use that. Of course, I could also set my tongue on fire.

In this case we should just do away with the "port" altogether ;) But, unless I'm mistaken, there is one complication. If you already have an earlier version of apache installed from the ports collection, the FreeBSD port "patches" apache to use directories and other configuration options that are different from the stock apache distribution. Now, if you want to upgrade to the current version of apache as you suggest, but using the stock apache distribution, you have to either change your existing directory structure and accept a different configuration mix, or go in and hand patch the file Configuration to match what you had before. Granted, this is not the end of the world, but it sure makes having used the "ports" collection a lot less convenient.

Our model follows what FreeBSD does and those experiences show clear disadvantages when activly developing on anything else than HEAD, that means that the non-HEAD brnaches should get mostly merged-in diffs from the HEAD branch, but not too much new material. > Also, we are just starting to face the situation where development will be > done at remote sites and I would like to know what the CMUCL crowd has > done to reincorporate these remote changes.

Of course, that requires that the outside groups a) are willing and capable of using CVS, too and b) that you trust them enough to let them modify your main CVS tree. If not, importing things from outside works good ("cvs import"). > It will also be additional ammunition to have shown a happy customer to > convince the Doubting Thomas' about the transition to CVS and the uses of > branching and tagging. Tagging, sure, but branching in CVS does not give what one might expect. You get close branches of one tree and you can exchansges fixes between those, but one of them is clearly the one for new development. The other's are not as capable. But remember that I don't run into these problems myself, I just avoid them based on the experiences the FreeBSD folks made. You might want to ask those about it (on freebsd-questions@freebsd.org or such) if you want to be certain. But then, what are the alternatives?

In the attached message, the poster mentions that if you block at the router, you will stop outside attacks, but if you have a public access machine on your lan, there's no stopping someone from launching something like ping -s 4000 x.x.x.255 from a local machine. Is anyone considering either a) making FBSD not respond to broadcast ICMP or b) making a patched version of ping to put on public-access machines that can't send to broadcast addresses? The latter seems more "correct" and would help protect your local site as protecting remote sites that are unaware of the fix... Any thoughts?

How can I set it up so it doesn't expect the script? Thanks for all the great help, I would be lost without you guys!

I'm going to assume that you look at the web page for the PAO package (http://Makefile.ORG/FreeBSD/PAO/). As I recall some of the people who are doing the development of PAO use Toshibas. In fact, Tatsumi Hosokawa displays his Toshiba Libretto 30 on the PAO web page. Perhaps if you contacted some of these people directly, they might be able to help you. You might have to communicate in Japanese --- many of the developers live in Japan. Also check out the LAPTOP survey on the website to see if anyone has reported success with a Toshiba Tecra 510CDT (or something close). Those individuals may be able to help you as well. I hope this helps you.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've got a hopefully simple question about library files (/usr/lib) when one completes a "make world" upgrade... Basically, I want to know if there are "old" library files in /usr/lib which I can get rid of after a make world. (for instance, can I get rid of /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 after upgrading from 2.1.7.1 -> 2.2.2)? I believe that the standard utils (/usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin, gnu) are linked with newly created libraries (e.g. libc.so.3.0). Do previously installed ports which aren't recompiled use old libraries, or are they smart enough to use the libraries in /usr/lib/compat?

A port/package is *very* useful, even if the software is trivial to compile. By registering the software with the pkg_* system its very easy to keep track of what is installed. But most importantly pkg_delete can undo the installation. And lets not forget the value of the information contained in the port directory itself, such as the master site for downloading the software, and a brief description of the software. I search /usr/ports for stuff before web surfing. I'd like to see a port for netatalk but have been either too busy or too lazy to do it myself. Occasionally I get the opportunity to install another FreeBSD system for myself or someone else. One of the first things I start with is "ls /var/db/pkg" on my own system. Then I march thru that list and install same on the new one. Admit that I almost always decide to delete some of the packages and add others, but its a start. What I would like to see in pkg_* is some kind of version control. If one installs (for example) fetchmail-4.0.0 and already has fetchmail-3.9.8 installed, I'd like to see 3.9.8 deleted. As things stand, the new 4.0.0 overwrites files from 3.9.8 that have the same name. But 3.9.8 still exists in /var/db/pkg. Only solution I know of is to pkg_delete both (ignore the errors) and reinstall the new. -- 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.

System has its own 1G HD on a LUN which looks like a tape drive to the hosting Sun. The CDROM writer appears on a different LUN on the same SCSI ID. And they have special software for mastering the disk from the given data, and actually writing the CDROM. I can understand how isolating the CDROM and a private 1G disk on another SCSI bus (as Young Minds did) can ensure the writer gets its data when needed. But I'm told this system cost $30k. Just the Young Minds stuff, not including the Sun. Translating data from tape to CDROM has proven popular and we need more systems to handle the task. Have gotten permission to give a trial run to a CDROM writing station hosted on FreeBSD. I've got all the PC parts. And I can temporarily steal the writer off a Young Minds system.

Just a guess, but 'ftp.apple.com' is simply used in a cluster lookup to multiple IP addresses, and is not actually an a-name for any specific IP, where ftp.cgi.com IS.

I just installed 2.2.2-REL on an new machine and am trying to get to 2.2-stable using cvsup. This worked reasonably well using the files in /usr/share/examples/cvsup. I wasn't quite so successfull getting the ports-tree. As stated in the example files and in the FBSD-handbok in www.freebsd.org, there is obviously only the "."-tag for the ports-tree. I used it and got a new ports tree. However, when using the Apache-port, I noticed that this port is installing an alpha-release of Apache 1.3. While even alpha versions of Apache may be very stable, I would be much more happy to use a proven release version like 1.2.x in a production environment. Obviously, I got the ports tree from -current. How do I get the 2.2-stable ports tree?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Just received two SMC cards to find out that the trusty 21140 chipset they used on their 100 mbit/sec models is replaced by a SMC 83C170 chipset. Included on the box is a nice and friendly label warning that these cards are INCOMPATIBLE with previous generations of the 100 mbit series. They are right, I tested one in a FreeBSD 2.2.2 machine and while it is recognized as a network device on the PCI bus FreeBSD won't install a driver. Should I be looking for the older model with a 21140 chipset or is there work in progress to support this new model? If so where can I find these drivers to test them?

It will only be read at a restart of sendmail. So you may have to kill -HUP sendmail to make the change to sendmail.cw effective. sendmail configurations that are kept in external databases, like aliases, virtusertable, mailertable etc. are made effective by using the proper makemap command, resp. newaliases. These changes do not require a subsequent restart of sendmail.

Correct me If I think wrong. IP can use Ethernet_II or Ethernet_SNAP, but FreeBSD uses only Ethernet_II. IPX runs on four frame types: Ethernet_II, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_SNAP. The _default_ frame type for NetWare v3.x is Ethernet_802.3, the _default_ frame for NetWare v4.x is Ethernet_802.2. Only top management from IEEE and Novell knows, why IPX runs on four frames. I have headake (?) from their decision, which is normall for normall folks.

IMHO one of the best port/package systems out there is the RPM system from RedHat (http://www.redhat.com/) I just installed RedHat Linux on a friend's machine and have fallen in love with the RPM system. It handles the version upgrade (and even downgrade!) problem nicely, it NEVER overwrites those configuration files you spent hours and hours tweaking on, and it's also freely available (GPL, I think). Hey, it's even in the FreeBSD ports/packages collection! It would be really nice if FreeBSD could switch to RPM as the default port/package handler. I'm no legal expert, but I think it can be used without any monetary recompensation necessary... Oh well, just my 2.0% of $1USD...

Can anyone help me out here? If > so please e-mail! Thanks! By coincidence I just went thru something like this in the past couple of days. I wanted to filter out all the packets from ad.doubleclick.net, so I needed to figure out what packets to filter and how to specify the filtering rules. I got the latest ppp source from http://(www.freebsd.org/~brian,ppp-970713.src.tar.gz and dove in. I know next to nothing about tcp and ppp protocols, but I figured out enough for me to do what I wanted. Here are the notes I made for myself for the set log command, the syntax for the set filter commands, and (for what it's worth) the filter commands I'm now using to successfully filter out ad.doubleclick.net. BTW, there's a bug in the set filter code. The first chunk fixes what appears to be a typo, and the second chunk eats a ``proto'' argument following a single address; the fix is: --- filter.c 1997/06/28 01:34:03 0.970713 +++ filter.c 1997/07/25 06:41:59 0.970713.1.2 @@ -308,7 +308,7 @@ argc--; argv++; - if (ofp->action == A_DENY) { + if (fp->action == A_DENY) { if (STREQ(*argv, "host")) { fp->action |= A_UHOST; argc--; argv++; @@ -331,6 +331,8 @@ if (proto) { argc--; argv++; } + } else { + argc--; argv++; } } else { LogPrintf(LogWARN, "Parse: Address/protocol expected.\n"); Anyway, I think you just need to ``set log +TCP/IP'' to get a trace of the packets. Hope this helps. (If you find something here that's incorrect, or if there's a better way to do this, I'd appreciate a pointer.)

Description: a new PentiumPro, which, of course, comes with an IDE disk. Not wanting to demean ;) FreeBSD by installing it on the IDE disk, I installed FBSD on an external 4 GB SCSI (not "dangerously dedicated", just the standard slice install). NT 4.0 workstation is living on the whole IDE disk (I need to boot BT sometimes to use Excel and Word). I went to the FAQ to see how to setup the NT bootmanager to handle the dual boot, where I see that the recipe only works if both are on the same disk. Aha, says I, I just need a customized boot block. So I went to the biosboot directory where I compiled a bootblock with BOOT_HD_BIAS=1, substituted boot1 (obtained after the make) for the boot block normally acquired via dd in the recipe, and still got a "no bootable partition" error, with no FBSD boot. Does anyone know how to handle this type of (likely quite common) situation? Booting off a floppy is getting old fast.

In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I would like to automatically change a file's owner and group along with it permission bits. When a user creates a file within a certain directory tree, I have a need to chown that file to another owner and group. Moreover, I need to alter it's permissions. I need someway of executing something like this scenario: 1. New files created in the html document directory tree will become owned by a user named "webadmin" (one or more people could access this account) 2. The file's group would be set to the same as it's parent directory. 3. The file mode would be set to 775. User's will primarily be using ftp clients to upload the documents, logged in through there own accounts. (user: whatever, group: user). Ideally, I would like it happen as soon as the file is created (closed), as opposed to running some script at a scheduled period. Is there a way of easily capturing a "file close event" and then kicking off a script? How are things like this normally accomplished? Thanks in advance.

I think this was tested a while back: Patch makes Netscape v3.01 more stable (Net search won't crash out) Patch does nothing to help Netscape v4b5 that I can tell. Patch does nothing to help Netscape v4b6 that I can tell. Because this v4b5 is expiring August 1, 1997 & v4b6 for bsd won't work I think all those b5 users will have to downgrade to either v3.01 for bsd which is pretty much rock solid with the npx patch or go for Linux emulation and v4b6 for Linux.

It's a long time since I looked at this, but far as I remember they use an NCR 53c7xx chipset for which no FreeBSD driver exists.

Not only do we take rather complete advantage of the published features of the Pentium, we also take advantage of many of the additional features of the PPro. Secondly, note that if you ever upgrade to SMP, SMP on PPro's is much better than on a typical Dual P5 system. Lately, I have become very spoiled running on P6 and Dual-P6 systems, leaving my P5 system for being my local router (when I put it back together.) :-). Not to play benchmark-wars or anything like that, but I can do a kernel build in about 90-100secs on an SMP P6... Sure beats the olden days on a 386/25!!!

By having the directory's group be a shared group. i.e. the people who would have acccess to the webadmin account instead are members of group webadmin. The owner remains the original owner. Set the owner's umask to 002 Files will then be created 664 and directories 775 with group set to the shared group and the owner set to the owner.

Turn off echoing, set hardware flow control, set the modem to reset on DTR drop and set the modem to auto answer. Read your modem manual because modems vary. This is from a Zoom modem: STORED PROFILE 0: B1 E0 L1 M0 N1 Q1 T V1 W1 X4 Y0 &C1 &D3 &G0 &J0 &K3 &Q5 &R1 &S1 &T5 &X0 S00:001 S02:043 S06:002 S07:050 S08:002 S09:006 S10:014 S11:095 S12:050 S18:000 S36:007 S37:000 S40:168 S41:195 S46:138 S95:000 Make sure you have the correct devices. /dev/ttyc? (I believe -- I don't have a cyclades card.) If they're not there, run MAKEDEV. Somebody help me here -- why wouldnt ttyd? work on the cyclades? Then set up /etc/ttys: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" vt100 on insecure ..etc.. Add a line like this for all the ports for which you have a modem. Then either reboot the system or type in: kill -HUP 1 so that init rereads the configuration. Then, create a user login: username:*:1001:1001:User's Dialup PPP,,,:/usr/tmp:/usr/local/sbin/ppp-login /usr/local/sbin/ppp-login is a script that looks like: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/mesg n stty -tostop exec /usr/sbin/pppd proxyarp 10.1.1.1:10.1.1.129 # (localaddr:remoteaddr) This part I've never done, but it would be my first cut: In addition to the /etc/ppp/options file, I would add an /etc/ppp/options.ttyd? file for each dial-in port that contained only local and remote IP addresses and take the addresses out of the ppp-login script. Each line will need its own IP address. With the exception of the last part, I use this for dial-in and out, ppp in and out as well as uucp in and out. Anyone who has used this, I would be interested in knowing how you handled multiple ports for dial-in and ppp. -- Jay From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jul 25 18:22:49 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA06612 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 25 Jul 1997 18:22:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tld2.tld.net (root@tld2.tld.net [207.112.132.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id SAA06606 for ; Fri, 25 Jul 1997 18:22:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mycomputer.tld.net (pppsj29.tld.net [207.227.82.29]) by tld2.tld.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA09595 for ; Fri, 25 Jul 1997 20:05:28 -0500 Message-Id: <199707260105.UAA09595@tld2.tld.net> From: "Bambang Eka Dharma" To: Subject: I need your help.........

You can't. FreeBSD needs only supports primary partitions for its file systems.

That's true. FreeBSD needs it's own real partition of PTYPE 'freebsd'. You could reshuffle your disk around by using something like partition magic to recover the 'empty' space in your extended partition and then make the extended partition smaller, leaving space at the end of the disk for a freebsd partition.

It worked with NCR. Second: after booting to freebsd with a floppy (entering "sd(1,a)/kernel" to the prompt), my system hangs about half a minute after starting to run /etc/rc. The hangup comes quite randomly, sometimes it can't even get X running, sometimes I'm just barely able to log in from xdm. After hanging up, the HDD led just burns brightly and nothing but cold reset works. Windows NT and Windows 95 both work after the controller change.

I suspect you are just having trouble reaching the .6 address(es ?) from the second ethernet. Turn on forwarding on the machine with two interfaces. In /etc/{sysconfig|rc.conf} set gateway=YES If you really need to propogate routing information about the addresses on ed1 just run routed -s (or simply routed, -s is the default mode when there is more than one interface).

"collapsed" means that the tree there has been hidden. If you put the selection bar on one of the collapsed entries and hit then it'll expand out to show all the related devices. It's like the Windows File manager, if you double-click on a folder name in the tree list it'll expand to show all the subfolders. Hope this helps.

Pretty please? I've got to get this machine working. You need to disable PnP and use the card's setup program or jumpers to fix the IRQ and port, then tell FreeBSD the settings you gave the card and it should work OK.

Does anyone has some ideas ? These act like a Lance (lnc) Ethernet card. 2.2.2 should pick it up, a fix was put in several months ago to make these probe up.

The PCI finds the chip, reports correct IRQ, but then you try to NFS mount or FTP, it times out. The same with the lnc driver as ISA, after I entered the port and IRQ. Chip is found, but times out.

Hm, these should work OK with no special changes needed. I believe I've seen some mail that suggests the adapted 15xx code isn't as bugfree as it could be. Plus, check your termination and such.

Booting off a floppy is getting old fast. Unfortunately, this type of situation usually doesn't work since the BIOS doesn't reassign the disk numbers properly, so consequently you can't boot off of the SCSI unless you disable the IDE.

Also, someone was talking about putting together a port, so hopefully this will save them some time. The only changes I have had to make for either version of BIND are in regards to the man pages, so this is actually pretty simple. However I am not a programmer, so it's possible that there are changes that do have to be made. I doubt this is the case however, since all of the binaries and libs build and work as advertised. I only have 2.2.1 systems to work with, so there may be a few details different if you're using something else. Particularly, there are some changes that have to be made to get 8.1.1 installed in the 2.1.x branch of FreeBSD that were recently detailed on both the FreeBSD and bind-users lists, so I won't belabour that. My advice to anyone using 2.1.x is to upgrade to 2.2.x, and install BIND 8.1.1, although I realize that's not possible for some people. In fact, I myself installed BIND 4.9.6 on a FreeBSD 2.2.1 system for a couple reasons, so you do what works for you. :) My hope is that someone from the FreeBSD team will put together all the changes that have to be made, and send them to the bind folks so that we'll have a true port. At minimum, I would like to request that the ISC include the following comments in the top level Makefile for 4.9.6: # FreeBSD 2.2.1 - These changes install the man pages in FreeBSD # format. You will also want to go into /usr/share/man/man<1,3,5,7,8> # and gzip -f the new man pages to replace the old ones. For instance, in # /usr/share/man/man1 you would execute gzip -f *.1 # These defaults should work with other FreeBSD distributions, but have # only been tested on FreeBSD 2.2.1. #CATEXT = $$$$N #MANROFF = cat #MANDIR = man It would also be nice if there were a way to change the group and owner of the pages as below for consistency, but having them owned by root doesn't seem to hurt anything. Installing 4.9.6: 1. cd to /usr/src/contrib/bind 2. rm -r * 3. ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/4.9.6/bind-4.9.6-REL.tar.gz The 4.9.6 release is all in one package. 4. tar -zxvf *.gz 5. Change the values for CATEXT, MANROFF and MANDIR as indicated above in the top level Makefile. 6. make clean 7. make 8. make install 9. Go to /usr/share/man and gzip the new man pages in man1, man3, man5, man7 and man8 as indicated above. 10. Reboot, and you're done. :) For the 8.1.1 distribution, the following changes are needed to doc/man/Makefile. It would be nice if there were some kind of system-specific comments in this file, since finding the right combination based on the comments in there took a lot of trial and error. :) The same gzip process is needed as above, so the ISC people could duplicate those comments if they really wanted to. MANDIR = man CATEXT = $$N MAN_OWNER = -o bin MAN_GROUP = -g bin MANROFF = cat Installing 8.1.1: 1. cd to /usr/src/contrib/bind 2. rm -r * 3. ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.1.1 This distribution is in 3 files. You want bind-doc.tar.gz and bind-src.tar.gz for sure. The contrib stuff was still almost all for 4.9.6 when I installed 8.1, and I haven't had a chance to look at the contrib stuff for 8.1.1 yet, so I will leave this as an exercise for the reader. :) 4. tar -zxvf *.gz 5. First go into the src directory. All I had to do there was make, then make install and I was in business. 6. Now go into bind/doc/man, and make the changes to the Makefile there as indicated above. 7. make clean 8. make 9. make install 10. Go to /usr/share/man and gzip the new man pages as indicated above. 11. If this is the first time installing 8.1x, use named-bootconf.pl in /usr/src/contrib/bind/src/bin/named to convert your /etc/named.boot file to named.conf. 12. Reboot, and you're done. :) If you're installing 8.1.1 on a system that has never had a named running on it, you will want to go to /etc/namedb and run the make-localhost script before you run the named.boot conversion script that comes with BIND. That should set up your localhost domain for you, which is basically the only thing you need to run a resolver-only setup. Any FreeBSD-specific questions should probably be directed to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org. Other comments and suggestions are welcome of course. :) Good luck, Doug The man who fears nothing, loves nothing.

Since choosing a specific focused goal and learning it is often the best way to attack a large and complex system (imho), you may want to consider learning emacs.

If your Win95 and BSD machines are the same machine, try moungint your Win95 partition from FBSD (*don't* do this if you're running a newer release of FBSD, and *don't* stress the mount!). If they're different, perhaps a couple cheapo network cards are in order (it might be a bit more work setting-up FBSD to use a little network like this than Win95, though). > I need to get out of the rut.

If your FreeBSD installation is two years old, you definately want to consider upgrading. Many interesting things have happened in the last two years which make FreeBSD use as a desktop system more attractive. If you chose the "upgrade" option, it will trash your /usr partition, but leave the root partition alone (mostly). I'm not sure what XWindows was complaining about. X is available as a ports "package", but it might be easier to use sysinstall to install X. You can do a "custom" install on an already-installed system without losing anything (provided you click all the right choices :). > What I'd like help with to begin with is to in getting my machine > connected to the Internet and learning what I can do with it once I'm > there -- on my Windows machine I use ftp, telnet, Netscape and MS > Internet Explorer, and e-mail. Reports say Netscape4 doesn't work well, but there is a port for Netscape3 that runs beautifully. Email is a slightly religious topic. ftp and telnet are already on your system, but you might consider installing one of the ncftp ports. Lynx you may want. Connecting to the Internet isn't too hard. There is a lengthy handbook section which can be simplified to "add a line like nameserver 204.101.251.1 to /etc/resolv.conf and type 'ppp' and type 'term' and login to your ISP". From there you can setup ppp to automatically login to your ISP, and then setup dial-on-demand. > So, I need some direction and someone to give me a shove.

Looking > forward to hearing from someone whenever you have the time. Unfortunately, I have yet to see something which completely replaces MSOffice (although some things are constantly coming closer). However, I like to think that FreeBSD is so much about replacing Microsoft as improving on it. And, last thing. :) _Read_ the handbook!

IF your ISP is using NT.4 then you are out of luck UNLESS you can talk them into disabling the Microsoft encoded PAP requirement. MS does it's own thing, which nothing else in the world will talk to. I ran up a zillion dollars in phone calls trying to get around this, had endless help from good folk on the net. nada. nothing. zippo. Until I talked the other end into turning OFF the microsoft PAP CHAP requirement, I could not get a connection. I also found out. If they have just set up the DEFAULT connection type, then CHAP is the default protocol... in short. Save yourself YEARS of frustration. If it's an NT you are connecting to, and they wont turn off PAP/CHAP, go elsewhere. cheers, Bob > ________________________________________________________________________ > > stephane# ppp papsite > User Process PPP.

It is logging to xferlog. In ftp/bin I have ls, tar, gzip, and compress, all owned root:ftp with 111 permissions. The directories in ftp are 555. In pub I have a directory called junk with some junk files in it, but when I log in to the server and type get junk.tar.gz or get junk.tar.Z it says "No such file or directory." ftpaccess and ftpconversions are in /usr/local/etc; I have not modified them. There's a statement somewhere that gnu tar is required....is the FreeBSD tar gnu tar? What else might I have to do? I don't have a password file in ftp/etc because I'm just setting this up for anonymous ftp, not for specific users.

See man xinit. Also man startx for which files X reads when it starts up. For netscape I use an alias for /usr/bin/netscape -geometry 800x600+0+0 which seems to do what I want, although I'm not sure it's right.

It might be better the other way around. I had a similar problem with -STABLE boot disks ( at least up to 970708). The cure was to boot 2.2.1 boot disk and point it to the STABLE SNAP I wanted to install... There are also reports of 3.0-CURRENT boot disks giving better results. > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo Nadav
