This is because a SNAP is a made like a RELEASE while -stable and -current are checked out trees. Do the following: get the 2.2-960501-SNAP/src contents onto your machine. Then you need to build some script that unpacks the sources. I'm doing it most of the time by doing an ls >file vi: %s/^s// and %s/\.*$// and then pipe that file through sort and uniq. ^strips the leading s and the trailing .aa suffixes. You then have a list of names which you can feed so something like (bourne shell): (assume your files are in /usr/tmp) cd / for i in `cat file` do cat /usr/tmp/s$i* | tar zxvf - done There were times when there was an extract.sh in that directory which did the above (sure more elegantly) and the code for this can surely be found in the install scripts in /usr/src/etc/... > > Annelise > > ::--Chris Christoph P.

I see this number a lot, and I assumed this was because the partition must be below 512MB in order to be bootable. However, my hdd is split into one msdos partition, 1.1GB, and 430MB FreeBSD one. The dos partition is first. The FreeBSD sure _seems_ bootable!

Plauger articles (Computer Language, 1988-9) in which he discusses protecting intellectual property. He writes: If you play fast and loose with the UNIX name in any of your ads, you will get a letter from AT&T.

A Declaser 3500 is on the network and I tried to establish TCP/IP printing to that printer. On advice of Garett Wollman I'm using ttcp (comp.unix.sources) /etc/printcap: # @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 # lp0|lp||rlp|lw|ps|postscript|PostScript|lp1|lw1|postscript1|PostScript1:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :mx#0:\ :if=/usr/local/bin/infilter:\ :of=/usr/local/bin/printe:\ :sd=/var/spool/printe: /usr/local/bin/printe: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/ttcp -D -t -p 10001 10.0.0.64 2>/var/log/lpd-errs Using the command cat /etc/passwd | /usr/local/bin/infilter | /usr/local/bin/printe works fine and the file gets printed to the network printer. But doing this under lpd control I get May 12 15:57:52 isdn-kukulies lpd[27554]: lp: output filter died (retcode=2 termsig=0) I can't find a core dump though. the spool files are in /var/spool/printe and lpq reports ready and printing.

It differs from common ``blast'' tests, which tend to measure the remote .I inetd as much as the network performance, and which usually do not allow measurements at the remote end of a UDP transmission. .PP For testing, the transmitter should be started with \f3\-t\f1 and \f3\-s\f1 after the receiver has been started with \f3\-r\f1 and \f3\-s\f1. Tests lasting at least tens of seconds should be used to obtain accurate measurements. Graphical presentations of throughput versus buffer size for buffers ranging from tens of bytes to several ``pages'' can illuminate bottlenecks. .PP .I Ttcp can also be used as a ``network pipe'' for moving directory hierarchies between systems when routing problems exist or when the use of other mechanisms is undesirable. For example, on the destination machine, use: .Ex ttcp \-r \-B | tar xvpf \- .Ee .PP and on the source machine: .Ex tar cf \- directory | ttcp \-t dest_machine .Ee .PP Additional intermediate machines can be included by: .Ex ttcp \-r | ttcp \-t next_machine .Ee .SH OPTIONS .TP 10 \-t Transmit mode. .TP 10 \-r Receive mode. .TP 10 \-u Use UDP instead of TCP. .TP 10 \-s If transmitting, source a data pattern to network; if receiving, sink (discard) the data. Without the \f3\-s\f1 option, the default is to transmit data from .I stdin or print the received data to .IR stdout . .TP 10 \-l \fIlength\fP Length of buffers in bytes (default 8192). For UDP, this value is the number of data bytes in each packet. The system limits the maximum UDP packet length. This limit can be changed with the \f3\-b\f1 option. .TP 10 \-b \fIsize\fP Set size of socket buffer. The default varies from system to system. This parameter affects the maximum UDP packet length. It may not be possible to set this parameter on some systems (for example, 4.2BSD). .TP 10 \-n \fInumbufs\fP Number of source buffers transmitted (default 2048). .TP 10 \-p \fIport\fP Port number to send to or listen on (default 2000). On some systems, this port may be allocated to another network daemon. .TP 10 \-D If transmitting using TCP, do not buffer data when sending (sets the TCP_NODELAY socket option). It may not be possible to set this parameter on some systems (for example, 4.2BSD). .TP 10 \-B When receiving data, output only full blocks, using the block size specified by \f3\-l\f1. This option is useful for programs, such as \f2tar\f1(1), that require complete blocks. .TP 10 \-A \fIalign\fP Align the start of buffers to this modulus (default 16384). .TP 10 \-O \fIoffset\fP Align the start of buffers to this offset (default 0). For example, ``\-A8192 \-O1'' causes buffers to start at the second byte of an 8192-byte page. .TP 10 \-f \fIformat\fP Specify, using one of the following characters, the format of the throughput rates as kilobits/sec ('k'), kilobytes/sec ('K'), megabits/sec ('m'), megabytes/sec ('M'), gigabits/sec ('g'), or gigabytes/sec ('G'). The default is 'K'. .TP 10 \-T ``Touch'' the data as they are read in order to measure cache effects. .TP 10 \-v Verbose: print more statistics. .TP 10 \-d Debug: set the SO_DEBUG socket option. .SH SEE ALSO ping(1M), traceroute(1M), netsnoop(1M) From owner-freebsd-questions Sun May 12 07:19:10 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA22300 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 12 May 1996 07:19:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wedge.its.utas.edu.au (wedge.its.utas.edu.au [131.217.10.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA22289 for ; Sun, 12 May 1996 07:19:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from cp_nairn@localhost) by wedge.its.utas.edu.au (8.7.1/8.6.6) id AAA24344; Mon, 13 May 1996 00:19:00 +1000 (EST) Date: Mon, 13 May 1996 00:18:59 +1000 (EST) From: Carey Nairn X-Sender: cp_nairn@wedge.its.utas.edu.au To: "freyes@i-2000.com" cc: FreeBSD questions mailing list Subject: Re: cant switch to another screen from X In-Reply-To: <199605120352.XAA18209@i-2000.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 11 May 1996, Francisco Reyes wrote: > When I am running X window and I try Alt-# (where # is a number > from 1 to 4) to switch to any other virtual screen the computer does > nothing.

Yes, of course UNIX (not Unix) has been a trademark of its owners for decades. I was referring to the fact that BSD may no longer be called UNIX, whereas older versions were. 4.3BSD was definitely UNIX, but 4.4BSD isn't. That change goes back to about the Net/2 times, I'd say. I'm copying this one to chat, since I can imagine that there could be significant followup.

Are there any particular reasons for this or have the > distributions just not been updated yet? Several reasons: - We looked at 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 when the both came out, and didn't want to move to them as they both had more bugs than the 2.6.3 that we are shipping now. 2.7.2 is probably a bit better than 2.6.3, but: - Munging the GCC source distribution into a bmake (Berkeley make, i.e. what FreeBSD uses) is quite, err, ``interesting''. - There have been a significant number of changes to GCC which mean that it would take some work to get the tree up to speed with 2.7.2, and (probably) even more work to find an eliminate the subbtle bugs that -Wall can't find as they are to do with having inline asm in the code (and possibly other interactions between GCC and our system) So the real problem is that no-one who has the required knowledge to properly import 2.7.2 (without taking -current out of the water for an extended period) has the time to do it as they all have a lot on their plate. You have also to remember that GNU expect you to upgrade your whole toolkit when you move to 2.7.2, and moving our as and ld (the latter having undergone a LOT of work to fix some annoying problems with it) would be no simple matter.

Kermit has startup files, on my system its .kermrc, and with that he can set "set file type binary" or "text".

The option causes metadata writes to return after they have been scheduled but before they have completed. This speeds things like POSIX time update semantics for access time on directories and files which are being statted, which can be agregated instead of waiting for them to be committed to disk. This, in itself, is not a bad thing, because I don't totally agree with how FFS interprets POSIX. It also speeds up things like directory entry modification and inode allocation, and block allocation in inodes, and file size update in inodes following block allocation... etc.. This is evil, because it means that a system failure of any kind will no longer be deterministically recoverable. You could get to a "working state" from the "crash state", but whether this is "the right state" is another question. So, in order: What is it: Disabling of the ordering guarantees that ensure that a file system can be correctly recovered following a failure (crash, kernel panic, power failure, or hardware failure). What does it do for you: It makes certain type of worst case file system accesses faster than if you were using sync writes to make your ordering guantees. The most notable cases are: o Installation -- where the trade is between starting over and it taking twice as long, or probably not having a failure during install and it taking ~20% less time. o Restore from backup -- same tradeoff. o Temporary FS's that you plan to recreate at boot time anyway. o News spools which are not used for locally created articles (since they would be lost in event of a crash). o The lmbench 1000 file create/delete test, which was designed to make Linux look good compared to BSD, taking advantage of sync vs. async speed, and incorrectly stating that this was representative of a typical compilation, with large numbers of small temporary files (typical compilation uses pipes, not temp files). It also lets you be lazy regarding the need to implement faster ordering mechanisms than sync writes. Programmers use async instead of implementing Delayed Ordered Writes (used by SVR4 UFS), or soft updates. Why use it: o You want to gain the advantages listed above o You don't care if you have to reinstall your machine in order to get a small performance improvement in certain atypical usage cases o You need one or both of the previous 2 reasons, but you are too lazy to implement a technically correct soloution to the problem, so you fly by the seat of your pants instead. In general, there are *well known* methods for implementing ordering guarantees that get near async speeds (soft updates, for instance, are withing 5% of memory speeds, which is, in some cases of buffer contention, even faster than vanilla async scheduling). Correspondingly, it's *NOT* anything to do with whether or not async I/O operations on files as container objects will work or not. It has *nothing* to do with sync(), fsync(), O_SYNC, O_WRITESYNC, or the functions aioread/aiowrite/aiowait/aiocancel. Think of it as being similar to enabling interrupts during IDE DMA's: sure, it's faster, but it puts you at great risk of error in some situations. By default, you shouldn't assume that Intel has fixed their RZ1000 chip. The same is true of async metadata updates (which is what the option really means): it should be there fore people who know they won't crash and burn if they turn it on. But it should be off by default because of the "anything that works is better than anything that doesn't" rule. PS: this was covered in great gory detail in unsenet news regarding advanced FS design. The real question is "ordered vs. unordered metadata updates and the effect on FS failure recovery". Sync writes just happens to be one of several methods (and the only one implemented in Linux and BSD, at least in public sources) to guarantee ordered metadata updates. It's expected that the "async" option will go away after the integration of soft updates, since it will be just as fast (or faster, for some cases) as async (unordered) updates, and won't leave your butt hanging out in the wind like async does. Hope this answers your questions... Regards, Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

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"**). 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. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. 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, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to 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. 4. Please 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. 5. Please 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. 6. If you 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. For example, 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 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it.

My basic situation (and problem, in a moment) is this: I have a FreeBSD machine connected to the internet via dip/CSLIP. I have a Windows 95 computer sitting right next to it connected via null modem serial cable. The dialup works fine, so I know the problem lies not with that. Anyway, what I want to do is get the Windows 95 machien connected in some form with TCP/IP so that it has its own address and the FreeBSD machine is its gateway to the internet. My ISP gave me an address to use and I began to attempt different methods of setting it up. My first problem was with the Win95 dialer - for it did not support connections thru a null modem - so I just got a few shareware programs. I've tried multiple configs, tried different dialers, tried pppd, ppp -direct, sliplogin, and even slirp -- all without success. What either happens is I get absolutely nothing at all, my machine can telnet but _only_ connect to the FreeBSD box (and pings, and such -- and no machines besides the FreeBSD one can connect in any form to it), or it somehow takes over the whole connection and the FreeBSD computer is invisible to the net with the Win95 machine using its IP, but the last isn't really important. I know there's gotta be a way... If anyone can help, please reply. I've been trying to remedy this for days.

Also what IP address does the Win95 machine need to be set to ? Well, I assume you don't have 'real' IP addresses for this network, so you should choose addresses which _cannot_ be on the Internet, just in case some of your packets escape. There are a few networks which are reserved for this purpose (see /etc/hosts). Choose one. I chose the '10.0.0.0' network, my FreeBSD machine is IP address 10.0.0.2 and my Win95 machine is 10.0.0.3. The sysconfig entry for the FreeBSD host is: ifconfig_ed0="inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xff000000" Static routing entries in sysconfig are _not_ required. Once you've done the basic Win95 TCP/IP setup, you should be able to ping and telnet. Then you can start on Samba... By the way - in the early stages, do not set up the 'Client for Microsoft Networks' binding in Win95. Add this in later, for now it only slows down booting and adds confusion. > > --- > Khetan Gajjar > Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ > UUNet-Internet Africa Operations > help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002 > I heartily recommend the book 'TCP/IP Network Administration' by Craig Hunt.

While getting tired of other "personal" OS's to dictte what i can and cannot do, i moved to FreeBSD :) Well i have a pretty simple set of questions. I am only using 1 computer. This computer has 2 network interfaces, lo0 and tun0. I use the tun0 to connect a ppp tunnel into the box. This ppp link is only up "part time" (when i need outside access). I read that instead of using routed..i should use gated. So now i am doing so. Not very learned in the Art of Unix admin i am having a little difficulty with the config of gated. it keeps pooping out on me with a core dump after i quit a ppp session (with ijppp) My configs are 10.1.1.1 my single system. 127.0.0.1 my localhost loopback. 141.1.1.1 my "default" dstination ppp link. My ppp server dynamically allocates my IP so i use 141.1.1.1 as a default, previous to th ijppp update. So how do i configure gated to run correctly without dumping core all the time. I connect to Merit (which is the new gated consortium) and they have no "online" gated conig stuff. Any gated gurus out there. your help would be much appreciated. Please reply to me address personally as i don't subscribe to the list. Any direction pointers would be appreciated.

However, all traffics off his LAN to the net is via cisco box which does run RIP-1 as ripquery -1 cisco.ispdomain shows: 24 bytes from cisco.ispdomain (aa.bb.cc.dd) to gw.mydomain version 1: 0.0.0.0 metric 1 Now, I need to extend the 2.1R box to route more traffics from another network with different IP address and domain name connected to gw.mydomain (the 2.1R box), ie turns my 2.1R box (gw.mydomain) into a multihomed router with multi IP address and domain name. However, I do not want to get my ISP to add static routes to route traffic to the new network and I want to use gated to talk RIP-1 to do so, and wonder if someone can give me some advice on that ? The reason for choosing gated instead of letting my ISP to set things up for me is that I will be charged EXTRA $$ and I want to avoid that totally. In fact, I will also migrate to use gated and RIP-1 totally for the existing network (where mydomain lives). Please give me some advice please.

(about every half hour) I dont think the whole system is freezing, as I often still see td/rd activity on the modem indicating that an ftp or something is still going on over the ppp link. I only have one computer, so I cant try to telnet in to see if anything is happening. The only way I have discoved of escaping from this is to hit the "reset" button. This is a new problem - the system has been very well behaved for about five months now. I cant think of anything I have changed that could be causing something like this. Nothing obvious shows up in the logs (not that I really know where to look). The system is a 486DX2-66 noname with AMI BIOS, Soundblaster-16 + Creative 2XCDROM, 2 x IDE conner 420MB hard disks, 12MB Ram, 1MB Trident SVGA, mouse systems mouse. It is running stock 2.1R everything, and has Linux emulation compiled in. In which logs should I look, what should I look for, and is there some sort of extended logging I should turn on to try and sort this out ?

Which means that I need to get the package that contains the kernel sources. Am I right? or am I going in the wrong direction? I also need to redo the dos partition that I made with fips.exe because it's too small for the BSD package that I need. How do I delete a partition made with fips.exe?

The only items installed on this MB are the ethernet card and a rather generic VGA card. The machine has 8mb of memory installed (two 4mb simms in slots 1&2.) The ethernet card is set with its jumpers so that it uses IRQ 3 and RAM window at D000. There is a scsi drive in this system and one 3.5" 1.44mb floppy drive. I can partition and label the disk just fine. I can apparently configure the ethernet adaptor just fine. I get the messages on the virtual console: > DEBUG: Init routine called for network device ed0. > ed0: device timeout > add net deafult gateway: 206.14.224.1 > DEBUG: Network initialized succesfully. > ed0: device timeout > ... repeats ... Eventually it gives up not being able to mount the NFS partition. If I try to ping the machine I get no response. The ethernet card's activity lights do show that the card is seeing the general traffic on the network. Not being that familiar with this particular configuration of Intel hardware is there some interupt or something that is swallowing up the ethernet card's responses? The kernel definitely probes and recognizes the card, and apparently claims it was able to configure it correctly. If I do a "ifconfig ed0" on vty4 it comes back with the correct information. I am assuming that the data path to configure the card and query its state is different than the data path used when actually transferring data between the card and the system. I have done network nfs installs of freebsd before, but they were on 3c509's. I will continue poking at this machine and such. Any help would be appreciated. --Scanner (scanner@apricot.com) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 13 01:16:01 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA28822 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 13 May 1996 01:16:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from MediaCity.com (root@easy1.mediacity.com [205.216.172.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA28817 for ; Mon, 13 May 1996 01:15:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from brian@localhost) by MediaCity.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id BAA09317; Mon, 13 May 1996 01:14:20 -0700 From: Brian Litzinger Message-Id: <199605130814.BAA09317@MediaCity.com> Subject: Re: PCCARD package (where do I find?)

Being a PCI system, make sure that the IRQ you have assigned to the card is configured in the BIOS to be passed through to the ISA bus.

I'm almost positive what you are referring to is the color-ls package, which has been ported to FreeBSD already.

I've compiled mtools from source on my FreeBSD 2.1.0. It all worked fine until I wanted to write on disk, i keep getting the message /dev/fd0 timeout. The reason are not the rights of the device, i controlled that. The drive isn't the reason, cause when I mount the floppy , i can write on it. Does anybody of you know the reason for this behavior, a solution, or whether the binary backage has the same problem? I'd prefer a source solution, cause I want the mdir command show the free space even if the disk is empty.

You'd probably want to rebuild the kernel, anyway, to strip out stuff you don't need. Look for files with the pattern 'ssys.a[a-z]'.

Depending on how you installed, you may have the DOS C: partition auto-mounted. Eg. (in '/etc/fstab'): /dev/wd0s1 /dos msdos ro 0 0 If so, your DOS files will be accessible from FreeBSD (by way of '/dos', in this case.) Because of problems in the present FreeBSD msdosfs code, it is usually safer to access fixed disk DOS partitions read-only. To transfer files to DOS, you could change the 'ro' to 'rw' in '/etc/fstab'; or you could make use of floppies. To access floppies, you can use the msdosfs (eg.): mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt or use the 'mtools-2.0.7' package available in the ports collection. (Unless you enjoy unnecessary suffering, stay away from 'mtools-2.5.4', etc. This is rewritten code which isn't ready yet.) -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 13 07:35:33 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA24534 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 13 May 1996 07:35:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from rocky.sri.MT.net (rocky.sri.MT.net [204.182.243.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA24525 for ; Mon, 13 May 1996 07:35:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nate@localhost) by rocky.sri.MT.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id IAA10285; Mon, 13 May 1996 08:35:05 -0600 Date: Mon, 13 May 1996 08:35:05 -0600 From: Nate Williams Message-Id: <199605131435.IAA10285@rocky.sri.MT.net> To: brian@MediaCity.com Cc: TOTO@ifqsc.sc.usp.br (Carlos Antonio Ruggiero), freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: PCCARD package (where do I find?)

I have FreeBSD > at home and I would like to have colored prompts. Hm. For me, it looks like this is not one question, but two. 1) color prompt in bash: you have to send some special escape sequences in the prompt with which you can change colors on a terminal. On a vt100-compatible (with colors), it would be something that [27;34m the is an ESCAPE character (0x1b - I think), the [ is a [, and the two numbers are the foreground/background colours of the screen (or maybe the other direction). The m is an m. And yes, the ; is a ;. You have to look into a vtX programming guide to know what number is what colour. Or try to set the PS1 variable on the FreeBSD machine to the same, as in the Linux. (On Linux, echo "$PS1" and on FBSD: PS1="the-string-you-got-from-the-echo" ). 2) color prompts for different types of file: it looks, that you used the color-ls command (which is the default in Linux, as I know), this is a special type of the ls command, which is on ports/packages collection of fbsd, with some name like, color-ls. If it is not your problem, please try to tell to me: when did you get a prompt from your Linux/bash shell for filename? I think, the shell prompt is different from the ls list. (Waiter, I need a bottle of wine! Eg, a Gordon Bleu, or maybe a ham&eggs!) > I have searched in the Bash FAQ and did not find anything > regarding colored prompts. I tried the man pages also. And anything about prompts? > Is this a feature available to Linux only? Don't think so. > If this is a Linux feature would it be too difficult to introduce to > FreeBSD? No. I think somebody don't know the difference between prompt, and list. But! If I know it wrong, don't hesitate, but send me more info about your problem. At work there is a Linux machine with bash and color-ls, at home there is FreeBSD with original ls, so I could try to isolate your problem. -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.

No, the limit is due to severe brain damage in PC hardware, specifically IDE drives and the BIOS. You shouldn't have any such restriction with SCSI, and if your machine has a less restrictive BIOS, you won't have problems with IDE disks either.

When fdisk asks if you want to keep it compatible, just answer no. I would keep a botable DOS disk with a copy of FDISK handy though-- you may need to make a small DOS partition on your hard drive so FreeBSD will pick up the geometry correctly. > 2) How to get the FREEBSD OS (binary form) from your FTP sites quickly(if > possible, in a compressed format).

If these machines are to be equipped with CDROMs, the by the FreeBSD CD and install from that. It'll be much quicker than floppies or FTP from ftp.freebsd.org. If these machines are to be network-capable then install via FTP from ftp.freebsd.org. Ifd you want to build a floppy set, download floppies/boot.flp or atapi.flp (if they have ide cdrom's), the entire /bin directory, and any other distributions you want. Copy as many files as will fit to floppies, label, and insert when prompted. See INSTALL for more info.

It's a BIOS limitation. Some BIOSes can't read "EIDE" disks, which are larger than 512MB, cylinder 1024 actually.

The kernel does not know what port of the filesystem is being exported. Only mountd knows it. Once you have the nfs handle for the specific subdir you get chdir(".."). Of course your need some client code for that, but that is not to difficult. The only way to prevent this is that the kernel holds a table of exported directories. Sun has this and when you think of it, it also explains why exported subdirectories should be disjunct. -Guido From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 13 12:27:40 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA15010 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 13 May 1996 12:27:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freebsd.ki.net (root@freebsd.ki.net [205.150.102.51]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA15004 for ; Mon, 13 May 1996 12:27:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (scrappy@localhost) by freebsd.ki.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA20092; Mon, 13 May 1996 15:27:47 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: freebsd.ki.net: scrappy owned process doing -bs Date: Mon, 13 May 1996 15:27:46 -0400 (EDT) From: "Marc G.

For news articles, I've found the best to be 'newfs -i 2048', which allocates one inode for every 2k. Default, I believe, is 4 to 1? On the other hand, I've found that if you go with a seperate file system for the .overview records, go with something like 'newfs -i 8192', which gives you a bit more storage space on those file systems.

I wrote a script that aliased several thousand IPs to various interfaces. I didn't see any problem.

Keep in mind that, to use any application that uses such color under X11 windows (like the color-ls package) you have to be using a color-xterm. The stock xterm that comes with x11 won't perform it.

Three of these chips are variations on the Intel chip (IBM's chip, etc.), and they work with the current FreeBSD driver without changes (either FreeBSD got lucky or there was some serious hardware testing). Each ENPIC class needs its own driver. Most likely, you have an ENPIC that isn't supported, and you will need to get documentation and a from it write driver.

Basically it's a file that PPP looks at when it's established a connection at the link level (cables, dialling, modem handshakes etc) and is setting one up at the networking layer (IP mainly). One very important thing that needs to be done at this point is to set up a default route, otherwise you won't be able to 'see' past the other end of the PPP link. (The symptoms of this are that everything seems to have connected properly and you can ping the other end, but you get "no route to host" when you try to contact anyone else). The simplest one of the examples is the last one:- MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR This is all I have in my ppp.linkup file. It means that the default route for tun0 packets should be the machine at the other end of the PPP link. (ppp already knows who this is from the link level connection stage). The other two examples show how to make ppp do different things at this stage, depending on your IP address or the 'label' you used in the conf file. You needn't worry about them at the moment, I don't think. > Could someone share a sample file or give some info on how to > do my own? The basic MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR should be good enough to start with. > I have read the sections in the manual about ppp and the section > that mentions that file doesn't say much either.

I don't know "Partition Magic", but there is a utility called "Partition Resizer" which explicitly claims to do this. According to the documentation, it will even redo a 16-bit FAT as a 12-bit FAT, and vice versa. >From the fairly detailed documentation, the programmer appears to know his stuff.

That's not nice. :-( Is there some specific program you're running that causes the crash? Have you tried telnetting into the machine and checked systat -pigs, ps ax, top, etc. for a program that's hogging the CPU? Does the same problem occur in other OSs (DOS, for instance)?

What install method are you using? if you have networking, you can ftp to ftp.freebsd.org, cd /pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/src, binary, and mget ssys.* Then change to /usr/src, and run 'cat ssys.* | tar xzf -'.

Normally, you'd mount the dos filesystem with mount_msdos, but since you FIPS'd it, I wouldn't recommend that. I'd use floppies if the stuff you're transferring will fit on them. There are problems with the MSDOSFS that can cause corruption if FIPS has resized them (particularly, if the sector size changes).

I dont know - nothing obvious - it has happened once when I was not running X, which up until that point had been a suspect. I have been running pppd each time - but as I said, it still seems to be running.

While both FreeBSD and Linux do have different and distinct colorized "ls" packages, I believe they both hinge upon having color_xterm installed. The stock xterm is monochrome, as are vt100 terminals. At the console prompt you can probably also get color into your prompts by using syscons/pcvt specific escape codes or some such nonsense. FYI, here's an example of how to get "user@path" into both your prompt as well as your xterm title. Setting your colors should be analogous. Note: the '^[' and '^G' are control characters. To enter literals in vi prfix them with ^v or in emacs ^q. MyPrompt=": \h@\w ;" PS1="^[]0;${MyPrompt}^G${MyPrompt}" Caveat: If you are using an unreliable link or terminal emulator which occasionally drops characters, your screen can get into a funny state when the right characters are dropped. 'stty sane' should clear up the problem. cheers, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, System Administrator --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

You're thinking of Linux 8) This was discussed a while back, the consensus was : - the 150'th IP takes about 1/2-1ms longer to respond than the 1st. - It's possible to alias several full class-C addresses to an interface with no noticed harmful side effects. Note that IP's outside the netmask of the original interface address can be aliased on with non-all-ff netmasks. For example, let's take an interface : inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 We can add aliases 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 10.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.255 etc. If we run out of room and want more addresses, we can add a whole slab at once with 10.0.5.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 Because this doesn't overlap the original address/netmask, this is fine. And it also only counts as _one_ entry in the lookup process. > |__\|__| \__/ |__| Valentin Lisjak Fax: +386 (61) 1405-381 -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

Major ambition. This _can_ be done, but I have never done it... Look for the port of 'socks' on freefall:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming. 'socks' is what's known as a 'proxy' server. It sits, as a daemon, on the machine with the dialup and spoofs the internet that all the packets are from the dial-up machine, while keeping track of the real host making the connection. I'm assured it works fine, but I haven't tried it yet. Best of luck!

I'm still not able to connect to my other FreeBSD box via telnet, FTP, or anything else for that matter. The rest of the world, no problem... When I connect to a site other than my remote server and do a status command in telnet after connecting I see: LINEMODE Local line editing Local catching of signals Special characters are local values Local charactor echo Local flow control While I connect to my site without getting the login prompt and do a status command is get: LINEMODE No line editing No signal catch Special charactors are local values Local charactor echo No flow control I guess since the connection really isn't complete, certain things aren't passing through. Other than that, I have no idea why this is happening... I'm planning on passing this thread to the guys at questions@freebsd.ORG to see if they have any insight on this.

With that resolved, I still can't get it to work. I think the proxyarp is getting set up wrong, because both sides connect, but nobody can ping anyone else. LQR works fine. One time I configured the local address to be the same as the ip address of the ethernet card in the server, and then the dialup machine got good access to the server, but nothing beyond the server. And yes, I have ip forwarding turned on, and even running routed just to make sure. In fact, when I turned them on, I didn't even get that far. This is the output of netstat -rn.

The corresponding block device *would* be /dev/wd1c, but that's the whole disk, not a file system. What you want is typically something like 'mount /dev/wd1a', but from what you show below, that won't be enough. Did you get hold of the document and read it?

If you really want to use the whole disk for a file system, you still need to define an additional partition, say, 'a'. Change the line above to: > a: 237566 2 4.2BSD 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -761*) > c: 237568 0 unused 512 4096 0 # (Cyl. 0 -761*) In addition, you should remove the other partition definitions. They probably won't hurt if you leave them in, but it's untidy to have overlapping partitions (with the exception of c), and it's a potential time bomb. I'm being cautious with starting partition a at offset 2: that way, you can be sure that you don't overwrite the disk label and bootstrap sectors. It's possible that somebody will raise his hand and say "Hey, you don't need to do that, the system does it automagically", but I have never had absolute confirmation.

Lot's of methods to use. You could do it simple, with just solid colors or plaids using xsetroot. You could display xpm pictures with xpmroot. You could use the services of the xv program to display a wide range of graphic formats. You could duck into the port collection and find xearth, and show a real time image of the earth!

Sell it and get a better card. The P9x00 isn't likely to have the sort of support that the S3 family has for a long time, if ever. People reading this looking for a good card for X; _anything_ with an S3 part on it, even those cheezy "Trio 64" parts, is a good buy.

A default installation will have the required administrative user: root. Log in with a user name of `root' and no password. The first thing you should do is set a password for the `root' account by running the `passwd' command. Then, set up an account for yourself and any other users by running the `adduser' command. Just answer the prompts. Finally, log out. Then log back in with your personal account. From now on, if you need administrative privilege, just use your personal account, and then run the `su' command. This command will prompt you for a password---give it the password that you set for the root account. You'll be running a ``subshell'' with root privilege. Do whatever administration you need, then type `exit' to leave that shell and return to your personal account's shell.

Several include built-in support to directly place an image in your root window (that's Unix parlance for `wallpaper'). You could also use the `xv' program, which will handle a number of image formats: xv -root -quit Or try xpmroot for X pixmaps xpmroot Or xsetroot for bitmaps: xsetroot -bitmap Just put these lines in the appropriate setup file in your home directory (typically .xinitrc or .xsession). -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 14 07:20:21 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA12488 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 May 1996 07:20:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from uswgco2.uswc.uswest.com (uswgco2.uswest.com [206.196.133.74]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA12476 for ; Tue, 14 May 1996 07:20:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from smap@localhost) by uswgco2.uswc.uswest.com (8.7.1/8.7.1) id IAA08423; Tue, 14 May 1996 08:17:10 -0600 (MDT) Received: from egate.mnet.uswest.com(151.116.23.138) by uswgco2.uswc.uswest.com via smap (V1.3) id sma008405; Tue May 14 08:16:48 1996 Received: from easthub (easthub.mnet.uswest.com [151.117.26.86]) by egate.mnet.uswest.com (8.7.1/8.7.1) with SMTP id IAA11669; Tue, 14 May 1996 08:16:39 -0600 (MDT) Received: by easthub.mnet.uswest.com (M-Net Hub.951228) Received: from astro.acs.uswest.com by acs.uswest.com (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA07456; Tue, 14 May 1996 09:16:38 -0500 Received: by astro.acs.uswest.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id JAA05347; Tue, 14 May 1996 09:16:34 -0500 From: ptroot@uswest.com (Paul T.

So, I rebuilt my kernel (had to anyway) with the pcvt stuff and I have found a very frustrating (and very fishy) feature of the pcvt25 code. Several (random) keys (at random times) seem to produce the key codes for the "numlock" feature of the ThinkPad keyboard. Nate Williams has told me he has seen this pcvt25 behaviour as well. This is driving me crazy! This didn't happen with the scons25 code, so I don't think it has anything to do with a flakey keyboard. Am I now screwed (having to use scons25 even though I don't want to), or is there a work-around to this problem or a fix (maybe in some later code)?

When it's booted, it complains that the BIOS base (639k) doesn't match the RTC base (640k). On subsequent boots there's also a warning about incorrect CMOS checksum from the BIOS until the CMOS is updated. When FreeBSD is booted after just pressing F1 to resume and not fixing the CMOS checksum, it complains about RTC diag error 2 just before running init. The worst thing is that the machine has a software-controlled turbo mode and FreeBSD apparently switches it off, since it runs and benchmarks (dhrystone) like a 8mhz 286. The BIOS shows that the speed is 'normal', which means that it should be running at full speed. An interesting feature is that if I change the speed, caches or such, when I boot FreeBSD, reboot and go to setup again, things are back to defaults. If I boot with -c and reboot the machine while it's sitting around waiting for configuration, cmos stays in condition. Booting at any later phase, it breaks. wall_cmos_clock doesn't appear to be helpful. 2.1.0-RELEASE had the same problem and it was being rather unstable. -- 'Good-bye and hello, as always' From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 14 08:23:40 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id IAA17507 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 May 1996 08:23:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from alpha.jpunix.com (root@alpha.jpunix.com [199.3.234.18]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id IAA17501 for ; Tue, 14 May 1996 08:23:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from perry@localhost) by alpha.jpunix.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id KAA00409; Tue, 14 May 1996 10:22:04 -0500 (CDT) Date: Tue, 14 May 1996 10:21:50 -0500 (CDT) From: "John A.

No, not at all. Ctm is for folks that want to stay updated via mail, and sup is for users with direct net connectivity. Ctm is somewhat more limited in that you can only get updates for certain defined file collections, that are having ctm scripts run on them. Sup can be configured to build more selective collections (you can customize what file collections you want). With sup, you can wipe out portions of your archive, sup will see that, and rebuild it for you. Ctm won't do that, if you wipe some of it out, you have to start from scratch and rebuild it all. Sup compares what you have with what its trying to maintain, and rebuilds intelligently, but ctm is a one way street, with no feedback on what you need, just on changing what you have. Ctm is more conservative, and sends diffs, while sup sends whole files.

Actually, the stuff in -current is actually newer in all respects except for some missing drivers in /sys/i386/isa, and there have been some changes made to the user-land daemons. Some of the changes in the recent Nomad's patches are a step backwards, although most of them were backed out recently at my request. The stuff in -current is actually pretty darn current, although there is currently no support for the 3C589C card (yet). That is the one major driver I *need* to get working, but I just had 3 projects dumped on my at work which precludes me working on any of it. :( > Well, I figured them out. For the 'AD PC_CARD' the error was my > attempts to assign it to irq 3, which had been taken by the pcic > driver, so moving it to 11 fixed that one. One of the user-land changes not yet rolled in is the ability of the pccard daemon to assign any free IRQ to a card, so you don't have to hard-code the IRQ in the config file. However, the code is pretty crufty, so I'm having a time getting things working. (The kernel code was very well written though, so the user-land code was a suprise.)

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Date: Tue, 14 May 1996 11:34:30 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey No, not at all. Ctm is for folks that want to stay updated via mail, and sup is for users with direct net connectivity. I don't buy that. I have systems at varying bandwidth links and ctm is categorically superior for my own purposes on all systems. Ctm is somewhat more limited in that you can only get updates for certain defined file collections, that are having ctm scripts run on them. Sup can be configured to build more selective collections (you can customize what file collections you want). Yes, this I buy. To obsolete sup, it is necessary to make the grain size of ctm adaptable. With sup, you can wipe out portions of your archive, sup will see that, and rebuild it for you. Ctm won't do that, if you wipe some of it out, you have to start from scratch and rebuild it all. CVS client/server will do that, though. (As does ctm of cvs if you are willing to pay the cost of keeping a local repository.) Sup compares what you have with what its trying to maintain, and rebuilds intelligently, CVS client/server will do this too. but ctm is a one way street, with no feedback on what you need, just on changing what you have. Ctm is more conservative, and sends diffs, while sup sends whole files. As you can see, they are different, they serve different audiences. I understand now, thank you. My interest is that ctm seems to have potential to supplant sup. Now I see that this would require substantial enhancement to ctm. //alk From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 14 09:06:13 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id JAA20422 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 May 1996 09:06:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from horst.bfd.com (horst.bfd.com [204.160.242.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA20416 for ; Tue, 14 May 1996 09:06:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from harlie.bfd.com (bastion.bfd.com [204.160.242.2]) by horst.bfd.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA21141; Tue, 14 May 1996 09:11:59 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 14 May 1996 09:07:52 -0700 (PDT) From: "Eric J.

CTM can't restore my repository if I do any of the following: 1) Accidentally/purposefully delete some portions of CVS repository 2) Only have a desire for certain 'parts' of the respository w/out needing everything. 3) Modify portions of my repository The last one deserves some mention. Often, when I want to do some serious CVS munging on the tree, I will do it on my box at home with my remote CVS repository to test it out before doing the same operations on freefall. With sup, I'm guaranteed to get the 'exact' same state of the files that exist on freefall. CTM assumes the files you are mirroring will *never* be modified locally. There are some hacks that allow you to 'move' unmodified soures out of the way which will be used, but as a whole in assumes no modifications will occur. For most folks this is acceptable, but for me it's not. > Sup compares what you > have with what its trying to maintain, and rebuilds intelligently, > > CVS client/server will do this too. I've been using CVS client/server for as long as it's been released publically, and I hacked SUP to use compression, so I know a little bit about the problems. Neither of the solutions are the 'best', but *I* find that sup'ing the CVS repository is a *much* better solution for the way I do development. RCVS is simply too slow, and too often I'm either off the net or my link is so slow as to be unusable. For those systems (laptop) I actually sup whatever portion of the CVS repository I'm working with at the time onto the box, so I have local access to the source history, logs, and can immediately see what's been changed. This is *very* nice to have, and RCVS simply does work for me when I'm on the airplane. :) And, CTM won't work either since I often use CVS when on the airplane to keep track of my source. So, when I come back from my trip, I dump out my log files, re-sup my repository and magically I can create a patch files against the 'stock' sources and what I've changed, plus I have my kept logfiles so I can create a log message for my patch. CTM is *very* nice for most people, and I applaud PHK for writing. But, it isn't *yet* the end-all/be-all solution. I'm still pining for a version of CVS that incorporates automatic mirrored repositories, which would be the *best* solution for me. That way, I could work off-line, and then once I *needed* to commit CVS would automatically 'update' my local repository, guarantee that I'm OK to commit, and then go. The best of both worlds. :) Nate From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 14 10:49:09 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA27380 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 May 1996 10:49:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA27373 for ; Tue, 14 May 1996 10:49:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id KAA12633; Tue, 14 May 1996 10:42:45 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199605141742.KAA12633@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: Name Submission to NIC To: fqueries@jraynard.demon.co.uk (James Raynard) Date: Tue, 14 May 1996 10:42:45 -0700 (MST) Cc: root@caribnet.net, questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199605131740.RAA02378@jraynard.demon.co.uk> from "James Raynard" at May 13, 96 05:40:12 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > Are there any utilities in FreeBSD to submit domain names to the internic? > > If so let me know.. > > It's not really a thing that can be done at user-level - your best bet > is to go through your ISP. The Internic www page has an online form. An ISP will usually set themselves up ad administrators, charge you for forwarding you the form and then forwarding it to internic for you, etc. The main requirement for a domain is that you set up domain name servers for the thing that Internic can contact and verify to make sure it's real. The guidelines want a primary and a secondary, but I've seen them grant them with just a primary. A nameserver is generlly the only thing you need an ISP for, if any. I personally applied for a domain with myself as the authority simply to get a permanent mailing address (mailbox.com was taken) for myself and a few friends and family (yes, mci.com was also taken 8-)). Since delegation authority is seperate from address authority, you don't need a legal address for hosts in the domain, just the name servers, which can be (*will be*) in some else's domain. Note that since Dupont registered all their trademarks as domains (ie: good argument that the name space is seperate from the trademark name space, for all you California bill opponents who want to write Amicus Curie briefs), they have had to impose a fee to prevent "corporate raiding" of the name space. It'll cost you $50/year (for now). Decentralized naming authority was one of the good arguments for IPv8 because of all this fee crap.

The graphics card is an ATI Video Xpression ATI-264VT (PCI bus). Evidently this is not the same as the ATI Expression mentioned in the 'xf86config' menu, even though both are based on the Mach64 chipset. Does anyone have any experience of the Xpression, or could they recommend an ATI card which does work?

The closer analogy would be "Doesn't email obsolete Usenet?". But it still would not be apposite, for ctm deltas are delivered by ftp *or* by email, so that ctm subsumes both of the analogous roles. "Could not a form of email which offer both push and pull access modes obsolete Usenet?" I think it could, all other things being equal, were my mail categorized automatically and the availability of all selective modes of content selection insured.

The easiest way is to move the /var/mail directory onto another partition (which has room) and make a symlink from the /var directory to the new location. e.g. mkdir /usr/var mv /var/mail /usr/var/mail ln -s /usr/var/mail /var This *MUST* be done while the mail system is idle, otherwise you risk losing mail.

I've been doing heavy work on a team project about the same size as FreeBSD using RCVS for some time, and I'm *very* happy with it, at 28.8k. Is there something better? I would have expected sup'ing a large repository to run much more *slowly* than an RCVS update, since it passes whole files. Is this a hacked sup, passing compressed deltas? RCVS simply does work for me when I'm on the airplane. :) Why is that? And, CTM won't work either since I often use CVS when on the airplane to keep track of my source. So, when I come back from my trip, I dump out my log files, re-sup my repository and magically I can create a patch files against the 'stock' sources and what I've changed, plus I have my kept logfiles so I can create a log message for my patch. I don't see the problem with ctm in this circumstance. Please explain. For example, could you not update your repository using ctm instead of sup, when you return, and create your patch files in *precisely* the same manner? I'm still pining for a version of CVS that incorporates automatic mirrored repositories, which would be the *best* solution for me. I am confused. CTM does this, if you use cvs-cur. It maintains a mirror repository on your local system.

I'm a FreeBSD (and Unix) newbie, but excitedbie. I have the 2.0.5 Walnutcreek dist. and am trying to install on my new computer, but the kernel can't find my hard drive. Details: Cyrix 6x86 P150+ on an MTI board with Triton II chipset, 32M RAM Adaptec 2940W running Seagate 32550 2G hard drive Adaptec 1542 running Pioneer ... CD-ROM and Colorado 2G QIC tape drive. #9 771 video. 3Com Etherlink III PCI 10t/102 NIC I've seen in a couple of readmes that 2.0.5 supports both the Adaptec 2949 and the 3Com card, but my initial attempt failed - probing ahc1 and zp0 both returned 0x0. There appears to be no ahc0 in my kernel. The 1542 responded. So, I have two questions: Do I need 2.1 Are there any problems with using these two SCSI cards? Thank you very much for your time!

Because the remote repository is on the ground, and the information I need is with it, such as the log history, and the ability to 'diff' my current implementation against the 'reference' version. I like to see what changes I've made so I can 'checking' different reference versions of my code.

I've modified the CVS repository, so CTM will not update it. It can't patch a file unless the file matches the MD5 cksum, and it won't match since it's got local modifications. Here's an example: # sup -v CVS-tree ... Getting $CVSROOT/foo/a,v Getting $CVSROOT/foo/b,v Getting $CVSROOT/foo/c,v # su - nate nate % cd $HOME/work nate % cvs co foo cvs checkout: Updating foo U foo/a U foo/b U foo/c nate % cvs log [ Information which tells me where the project is 'at' ] nate % vi a [ History of compile/edit/test loops until a working version exists ] nate % cvs diff -bu | more [ Ahh, this works, but has lots of debugging garbage in it ] nate % vi b [ Removal of un-necessary code, testing, etc.. ] nate % cvs diff -bu | more [ Verification that this code works and a quick code review to make sure it does what I want. ] nate % cvs commit [ Commit log based on previous diff -bu ] nate % vi c [ Add new different feature and/or fix old bugs. Coding cycle deleted, which includes looking at related code/logs in other parts of the system, cvs diffs, etc.. ] nate % cvs commit [ New feature log ] ... OK, I'm happy with the code as it stands. However, the actual log of the code is for *my* use, and my employer doesn't even use version control, or he is more interested in the 'final' solution. nate % cvs log > LOGFILE nate % exit # sup -v CVS-tree [ Re-writes my locally modified files with the original files ] # su - nate nate % cd $HOME/work/foo nate % cvs update [ Make sure no new code got put into the tree, and sync. up the revision #'s, modify my code to reflect new code put in since last SUP if necessary ] nate % cvs diff -bu | more [ Final visual code review ] nate % cvs diff -c > commit.diff nate % scp commit.diff remotehost: nate % ssh remotehost Do whatever necessary to commit the code into the remote tree. In a nutshell that's how I do development for FreeBSD as well as for projects at work. > I'm still pining for a version of CVS that incorporates automatic > mirrored repositories, which would be the *best* solution for me. > > I am confused. CTM does this, if you use cvs-cur. It maintains a > mirror repository on your local system. I think you are confusing using CTM for the 'source' vs. using CTM for the actual 'repository'. I'm supping the entire CVS tree. Then, I actuall commit code and do work against that local tree for my own personal use which gets over-written when I re-sup the CVS repository. Also, the above CTM scheme (or sup scheme for that matter) isn't integrated into CVS like it could be. This could be done automatically so the local developer would only have to worry about being net-connected to do commits and the occasional updates *automatically*, where the current CTM/sup are separate.

Sup is a connection per site, whereas CTM can be distributed by FTP mirrors. CTM distribution is closer to usenet because it's closer to store-and-foward flood model distribution. The problem with store-and-forward is that it is an unreliable delivery mechanism; SUP is closer to demand mirroring, and so is really more useful. SUP snapshots tend to be more buildable (in my experience). Finally, using SUP seems to let me sync multiple trees easier than CTM (I run my own vendor branch recreation for some subprojects now). The real problem is that CVS sucks for people with commit privs... it would be better if there were a method to implement local delta-based checkins so you could maintain one branch tag and bunches of checkins. Oh well. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

During this process I left BootEasy alone and installed OS/2's boot manager; BootEasy added the OS/2 boot manager to its list of options and also added an F5 for the second hard drive. But I didn't put BootEasy on the second hard drive. Then I deleted the DOS/Win3.1 partition on the first hard drive, created two primary partitions there, and put that awful monster Win95 on the first one, with the second hard drive disconnected. Now BootEasy is apparently gone and I've reactivated OS/2's boot manager, which sees everything on the first drive and the DOS partition on the second drive, but not the FreeBSD 2.1S partition. So to boot the 2.1S I have to select the 2.0.5 installation on the first drive and type sd(1,a)/kernel. OS/2's fdisk shows the DOS partition on the second drive as bootable (which it's not, but that's okay) and lists the FreeBSD partition but won't let me give it a name or add it to the boot manager list. So somewhere the information on where it is got lost, and I don't know what to do to reestablish it.

I'm having an impossible time getting the routing set up correctly. Here's a simple diagram of my setup: 56k Frame Relay WAN Side ----------------[Router]----------------{FreeBSD}------------ LAN Side ed1 ed0 x.x.x.253 x.x.x.252 x.x.x.251 x.x.x.35 0x300 irq 11 0x280 irq5 The problem I'm having is that I can't ping the router from a login on the FreeBSD machine. I also can't ping ed1. I keep getting the message that the host is down. What I thought I had to do to get this to work was: ifconfig ed0 inet x.x.x.251 ifconfig ed1 inet x.x.x.252 x.x.x.253 route add x.x.x.251 localhost route add default x.x.x.253 Can anyone help me with this? Is it that my router MUST be on a different network? Is there any way to get it to work in this configuration? I also don't have GATEWAY compiled into my kernel nor Gateway set to YES in /etc/sysconfig. Are they absolutely necessary? I'm trying to use this machine as a bastion host firewall. Any help will really be appreciated. I had to have this working yesterday, of course. -----Kris -- -=(*)=- Kristyn Fayette -=(*)=- kristyn@gnu.ai.mit.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 14 15:38:54 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA17339 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 May 1996 15:38:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dyson.iquest.net (dyson.iquest.net [198.70.144.127]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id PAA17332 for ; Tue, 14 May 1996 15:38:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from root@localhost) by dyson.iquest.net (8.7.5/8.6.9) id RAA13183; Tue, 14 May 1996 17:37:09 -0500 (EST) From: "John S.

In -current, the PS/2 mouse driver is compiled in but disabled. The reason it's not enabled by default is that it tends to hang some machines during the probe, and since it's not necessary it's better to have it gone than have it mess the system up. However, since it's now trivial to enable the driver with the '-c' option at the boot prompt and Bruce added the 'disable' keyword I figured it was safe to add to the GENERIC kernel. The short answer is that it's now in the GENERIC kernel. :) Nate From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 14 15:56:14 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA18748 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 May 1996 15:56:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from riker.comcirc.com.au (riker.comcirc.com.au [203.17.165.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA18724; Tue, 14 May 1996 15:56:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from paul@localhost) by riker.comcirc.com.au (8.6.11/8.6.9) id IAA11768; Wed, 15 May 1996 08:54:25 +1000 Date: Wed, 15 May 1996 08:54:25 +1000 (EST) From: Paul Sondhu To: Terry Lambert cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Setting up user accounts but with no email access In-Reply-To: <199605141755.KAA12661@phaeton.artisoft.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 14 May 1996, Terry Lambert wrote: > > I am setting up a few user accounts on our WWW server so that users can > > FTP to the server to post up their web pages into their relevant > > web page directories. > > > > How can I disable email access for these users. ie.

How frequently are you willing to empty root's mailbox of bounce messages? That's the problem... Really, you want to have a user class identifier which is respected by sendmail and by POP and so on... bits that say "this user can recieve mail, that user can't" or "this user can login via pop".

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to figure out if the Tropez Plus card (from turtle beach) is supported by FreeBSD. It's advertised as Soundblaster/Soundblaster Pro compatible, as well as having an MPU-401 compatible MIDI interface. Unfortunately, since I don't know much about PC sound hardware, this doesn't translate well for me (I presume that FreeBSD will support the Soundblaster / Soundblaster Pro parts of this card, but does the Soundblaster AWE32 have higher-quality supported modes)? Specifically, in terms of quality, how do the supported sound systems for FreeBSD rate? e.g. Gravis ? <-- Highest Quality ... Soundblaster Adlib <-- Lowest Quality I think I'm expressing myself poorly, though. Ask for clarification as needed. Thanks. Bryan K.

Look at the 'scsi' manpage for an example that describes editing mode page 1 on a SCSI drive. This page should contain ARRE and ARWE; enabling these will request the drive perform automatic bad block forwarding on read and write respectively.

What is the error OS/2 Fdisk gives you? My FreeBSD partition added without a hitch, but it's on a second IDE disk. My guess is that you either didn't install the FreeBSD partition in other systems compatibility mode, the geometry is wrong, or the system can't see to boot onto sd1 (which may be if the SCSI doesn't have boot ROMs). Being somewhat ignorant of SCSI I'm not sure of the last one.

Date: Tue, 14 May 96 19:05:29 -0700 From: John Crosswhite Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have sent a similar message to the list before. But, I have a little more information. Relevant pieces of my config: FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE ASUS P55TP4XE Primary EIDE Channel (master): 1 1.2 Gig Samsung HD Primary EIDE Channel (slave) : 1 1.2 Gig Samsung HD Secondary EIDE Channel (master): 1 Toshiba EIDE CD-ROM Drive Secondary EIDE Channel (slave) : Nothing I am having problems getting the Secondary Channel to be recognized. All bios settings are default except for geometries. As anybody with an ATAPI CD-ROM drive knows, you cannot define settings for the CD-ROM in the bios. I believe the bios is just concerned with fixed disk stuff. I have made a new kernel with the ATAPI option, a line for wdc1 right out of LINT and a line for wcd0 right out of LINT. Are there any other options I need to define? When the machine boots this is what happens: -Everything is probed fine until we get to the point where wdc1 is suppose to be detected. -The following message appears: wdc1 not found at (0x170) -My IDE activity LED lights up on the front of my box and never goes out. -Trying to eject the CD-ROM tray manually is futile. Nothing happens. -When I reboot the machine, everything returns to normal. (Until the FreeBSD kernel tries to look at my CD-ROM drive again) This happens with the standard kernel source for wd.c and Werner's patch that was posted. Can anybody shed some light on how I can get FreeBSD to use my CD-ROM drive? ---- On a more positive note: FreeBSD is doing just about everything I would like it to do for me. I have every device on my box configured and working wonderfully under FreeBSD. (Except this drive) Good work everyone.

You'll have to recompile the kernel with the atapi options. Full instructions for recompiling are at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook.html (?) or in /usr/share/doc/handbook.

When you fdisk'd the FreeBSD partition, it should have asked you if the sectors should be aligned for future operating systems or something like that. At least in more recent installers, after 2.0.5. I haven't experimented with the OS/2 Boot Manager that much so I'm not aware of it's limits. I wonder if you should try reinstalling it.

I think that you are under-rating the utility of "store and forward". As we all know, the entire internet is based on store and forward of packets. The primitive delivery mechanism is unreliable. However, that does not prevent its effective use. The salvation of unreliable delivery is the ability to detect the non-delivery and initiate corrective action. With CTM, we have that ability. Out of sequence updates are not applied, but are held awaiting the earlier ones. This is much like the TCP window. The recovery mechanism is presently ftp. However, it could easily be implemented with an ftp by mail service. The advantage is that the end user does not ever REQUIRE a connection to the distribution site. It also has the major advantage of giving resource allocation control to the source of the information rather than to the destination. I also think that you need to recognize that the dropped update rate is not at all very high. > SUP snapshots tend to be more buildable (in my experience). This is a "locking" problem on the master source and is related to the lack of disipline on the part of committers who do not always (often?) make atomic updates. > Finally, using SUP seems to let me sync multiple trees easier than CTM. I don't understand this. There is only one tree. You should be using the composite tree (CVS). The method of delivery does not affect the usefulness. > The real problem is that CVS sucks for people with commit privs... it would be better if there were a method ... Again, this is a problem with the message and not with the messenger. The big advantage that I see to the sup scheme is that it provides a mechanism to restore a partially trashed tree without transferring or storing the entire source. However, in most cases that I have seen, the need to do this was created by the user's misuse of the distribution. IMHO, the distribution needs to be treated as "read only" I think it would greatly help if we would look at source distribution as a mini release (multiple times per day for some things) and have all of the necessary information distributed so that it is possible to use any of the four distribution channels (tarballs, live tree on CD, CTM, and SUP) to move from one point to another. In other words, have sup distribute a CTM release (complete with the .ctm_status file identifying it) rather than some other arbitrary snapshot. Similarly, we should assure that the information on the CD's matches an identifiable point in the CTM sequence. I recognize that this does not really address the problems of committing changes to a rapidly moving target Richard -- "No amount of theoretical understanding can replace the sight of a giant electronic computing system in operation. One must see what it really looks like, hear the sounds, and feel the atmosphere of the computing room. ... At the far end of the evenly lit room is a big metal box.

Everyone who helped get the SMC Ethernet card working thank you very much. If I had just read the GENERIC kernel I would have seen what IRQ it wanted to use. (This was compounded though by not having any DOS disks at all in the house, so I had to go hunt down a copy just so I could boot the machine, run EZSTART and then load BSD.. B-P ) But now for my next problem.. I have a machine which every now and then runs out of swap, I think. It is running FreeBSD-2.1 and all the disk space has been used so I can not repartition it without having to rebuild the machine which is something I very much do not want to do at this time. I do have space on another partition on a disk that is attached to this system and I would like to make a swap file on that partition and use that.. but what I see in the documentation leaves me to believe that you can only swap to devices, not regular files.

If the files themselves are OK and in the correct directories (I assume you copied them from the CD while in DOS), you may have run into a problem FreeBSD has in accessing some (a few) DOS partitions. This can cause an installation to fail. If this is the case, one route would be to install from floppies. (This is a bit tedious, but workable.) Other users have had success after resizing the DOS partition. (DOS filesystems with certain parameters cause the FreeBSD msdosfs code to become confused; and using slightly different values often works.) Of course, if you haven't already done so, it might be worth running a DOS 'fc' (file compare) just to verify the integrity of the installation files. Details of your DOS partition, BIOS, IDE controller, and hard drive might also assist in clarifying the situation. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Wed May 15 07:33:07 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA22379 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 15 May 1996 07:33:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from alfa.cdc.it (alfa.cdc.it [194.184.44.50]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA22368 for ; Wed, 15 May 1996 07:32:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from slip4.infomark.it (slip4.infomark.it [194.184.44.34]) by alfa.cdc.it (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id PAA08604 for ; Wed, 15 May 1996 15:30:59 GMT Date: Wed, 15 May 1996 15:30:59 GMT Message-Id: <199605151530.PAA08604@alfa.cdc.it> Organization: CDC SpA X-Sender: fabbro1@alfa.cdc.it X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@FreeBSD.org From: f.micucci@cdc.it (fabrizio micucci) Subject: why I have Command not found?

You cannot have the same subnet > on two different logical wires. I figured as much. How would you suggest doing the following. Background: I will have a 32 host IP subnet, where I am using about 23 IP addresses right now. I'd like to add a firewall box on one end of the link connected to router. So, I have 2 machines on one-subnet, and the rest of my network on the other subnet. ethernet ethernet [ Internet ] <--> Router <--------> Firewall <--------> My machines Since I only have 32 IP addresses available I don't want to waste any IP addresses if I can help it, especially considering I expect to use a few more addresses beyond the 23 I have now. Since I have two ethernet segments, I must have two different subnets, but I don't see any easy solution to the problem. It would be nice if I could use the ethernet segment as a point-point connection in this case (for latency & BW ethernet is the cheapest way to go). What would you suggest?

MSDOS filename limitations munge the name so it can't find it properly. Copy the package over to your FreeBSD partition, rename to 'lynx-2.4.2.tgz', and run 'pkg_add lynx-2.4.2.tgz'. That should add it in. Note there is an "freebsd-faq.ascii" that can be viewed with more in /usr/share/doc/FAQ.

Even assuming 3-4MB/s each (which they should be able to sustain), this amounts to about 2-300MB/s that one would like to pump in/out. Any idea on the architecture of the "CCP" (Concatenated Processors?) that would be necessary to provide such a throughput using our nice little slow x86 ?

The ethernet card is a LANCE, so the "le" driver will work, assuming you correctly identify the IRQ, base address, etc.. The SCSI controller is an older NCR chip. I thought a driver had been written, and the author had posted about it to -hackers, but I haven't been able to find the reference. Usually, I save that sort of thing.

This sounds like a whole bunch of security problems just waiting to happen. (At least double quote the "$@")! You might use procmail as your local delivery agent. In you /etc/passwd file define all of the non-mail users to have the same $HOME directory (i.e. "/export/home/.nomail/") In that directory create a file named ".procmailrc" (or a suitable ".forward"). The procmail recipe in that directory can bounce all mail with a custom nasty gram. Advantages of this approach: procmail is designed to work as a local delivery agent issues of file locking and a variety of security considerations are already built-in. (don't just your shell or PERL code for security -- particularly when called via sendmail) procmail can be run non-suid and non-sgid (this approach doesn't *require* that procmail be installed in sendmail.cf as Mlocal). Disadvantages: I'm not sure of the exact requirements on ownership and permissions that this would require for the "home" directory and the .procmailrc I haven't done this -- so I might find some problem during implementation that I haven't foreseen here.

The 3COM card needs a newer SNAP than that, I believe, since it's new hardware and they didn't use a compatible chipset. If you had a model number instead of "Etherlink III" (509 maybe?) someone (not me) could tell you if plain 2.1 would work, or if you really need the snap. There is no problem usingmultiple cards. The 1542 will need to have bounce buffers enabled. This should be automatic in 2.1 and above.

Sounds like your CMOS pretends it has knowledge of DST and that's what is being used for the software turbo mode. Garrett Wollman made it so you could touch a file in /etc and fix it so it would not mess with the CMOS (blowing the time information is probably what kills your checksum and blowing the DST information is probably what kills the turbo mode). FYI: it's a bad design that steals clock bits from the CMOS to use in software modes; your motherboard is violating the specs.

Gifford" Subject: What think ye of this? Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hola, Any of you FreeBSD-ers care to tell me where I might find some good prices on a system like I describe below? Any of you have any comments, suggestions, bewares, avoids, or recommends? My only real requirements are that the system be FAST and RELIABLE, and its hardware has got to be supported in FreeBSD-Stable. CPU: Pentium 166 OR PentiumPro 200 (Are any of the "fixed" PPro200 motherboards on the market yet? I'd REALLY like to go PPro200 if possible) Memory: 128MB RAM (What options are there here? What gives the best performance? EDO? What size cache? 512K, 256K, 1MB? Sync. Pipeline Burst?) Motherboard: As many PCI slots as possible, good, fast, reliable chipsets, good PCI bus throughput, needs to support LOTS o' RAM and have free slots so I can bump up to at LEAST 256MB. Case/Power: I want a spacious tower with FANS, FANS, FANS to keep down the heat. A reliable power supply with plenty 'o extra capacity will do. I/O: Two decent high-speed (115200) serial ports will do me fine. SCSI Controller: One Adaptec 2940UW (PCI) (Should I go Ultra, or just Wide?) Hard Drives: Two 4-Gig 7200 RPM high-performance SCSI Fast&Wide/Ultra HD's should get me by to start with (What's fast and RELIABLE? Quantum? Seagate Barracuda?) CD-ROM: Almost any good 6x SCSI CD-ROM that'll talk to me SCSI controller Video: I really don't care so long as it doesn't break anything, since I'll likely never use anything but text mode. Mouse: Not required Keyboard: Almost anything that isn't going to break and that has a decent feel Network: One PCI 100Mb/10Mb ethernet controller (Opinions on the 3Com, SMC, and other choices would be helpful!)

If you want to avoid static routes from hell, you need to select interface IP numbers that can be subjected to a netmask. if one netmask could still overlap the other (255.255.128.0 and 255.255.255.192), be sure to ifconfig the interface with the more restrictive interface (255.255.255.192) first. I would renumber ed0 to x.x.x.32 and use netmask of 255.255.255.192 (first 64 hosts). you will need to either add the IP information about the LAN (x.x.x.35) side into the router or proxy arp with a seperate machine on the network connecting the Router and FreeBSD machine. --mark.

It is in the generic kernel. It's just disabled by default because there is no safe way to check if you have one unless you already know you have one (so much for "ISA Plug-N-Play").

If you don't get the missing packets (because you can't request a "retransmit" from an FTP server -- "you don't have this file -- give me it anyway"), you are screwed. In TCP, the packets are available until they are acked. Missing CTM files aren't because: 1) They are not held until they are acked 2) Different sites have different aging policies for FTP mirrors > The advantage is that the end user does not ever REQUIRE a connection to the > distribution site.

Assuming the intermediates have as long or longer expire times. It's like a usenet FAQ posting... you post the FAQ, and hoe it doesn't expire on someones site such that they ask a stupid question which is answered in the FAQ (definition of "stupid question"). If it expires, then there is the potential that between the expiry date and the next posting date, there will be stupid questions. The problem with CTM is that the "FAQ" (the baseline from which subsequent "posts" are derived) is not "posted" frequently enough. > I also think that you need to recognize that the dropped update rate > is not at all very high. The problem is not the "dropped update rate", it's the "not received update rate".

Yes; nolo contendre. I have suggested a "protocol" (multiple reader/single writer/virtual writer tree snapshot) fix to this many times in the past. I am always shouted down. This of course is only intended to speak to the ability to employ CTM vs. SUP.

The difference is whether I have to allocate two trees worth of disk space, or if I can allocate a single tree for both checkout and mirroring, and allocate 600M or 1.2G for doing the job. > The big advantage that I see to the sup scheme is that it provides a mechanism > to restore a partially trashed tree without transferring or storing the entire > source.

IMHO, the distribution needs > to be treated as "read only" The problem here is that I then have to locally mirror the tree to do anything with it. I locally maintain an FS experimentation branch, a devfs experimentation branch, an SMP experimentation branch, a PPC porting branch, an ELF experimentation branch, and an LKM autoload branch. I also have an inactive DEC Alpha porting branch. You are suggesting that I duplicate ~3.4G of data simply to make your scheme work. If I buy another 4G disk, it's going to be at least 9G to let me test large drive boundry conditions, and it's going to be assembled using logical-to-physical device autorecognition, etc.. It will be for cutting edge stuff, not for making it so I can "take advantage" of CTM (or more correctly, so CTM can take advantage of me -- or my disks). I won't be able to trust it with my data anyway, if I'm using it for testing. Currently, I have only 2G of test disk available to me. > I think it would greatly help if we would look at source distribution as a > mini release (multiple times per day for some things) and have all of the > necessary information distributed so that it is possible to use any of the > four distribution channels (tarballs, live tree on CD, CTM, and SUP) to move > from one point to another.

This requires changes -- significant changes, which I'm not prepared to deal with because of GPL -- in the CVS software itself. It also requires a change in the CDROM distribution, which has been discussed at length and then *rejected*. There are better uses for the space than mail-order developement with surface mail turnaround on integration sets. > I recognize that this does not really address the problems of committing > changes to a rapidly moving target People who have enough disk to deal with CTM can afford it; I don't. Almost all of my fixed storage is tied up right now with various code branches or completely non-Intel code versions, and I don't have enough to spare to implement what you suggest. Yes, it would be convenient for the badly connected people if everone could treat their local archive updates as read-only for everything but the update program. Practically, however, this is not an option for most of us, especially if we are actively hacking code in one or more areas and CVS doesn't support organizing its database for branch-level synchronization so we can do our work on local vendor branches.

Paul, In my other message I suggested procmail as a way to bounce the mail for any of these users. I didn't notice that you were trying to accomplish ftp access. I would suggest that you use wu-ftp, create a group for these 'ftp-only' accounts, and use the wu-ftp "guestgroup" directive (in the ftpaccess file). 'man 5 ftpaccess' (after you've installed the wu-ftp port). The problem with allowing "normal" user account "non-shell" access to the machine is that a creative user (or a half-wit hacker *posing* as a valid user) can subvert ftp only access to their home directory into arbitrary shell commands ('put .forward' where .forward = "|/where/ever/some.command" is just one example of this). My suggestion allows you to run all of these accounts such that they are switched to a chroot'ed environment. You can then set the permissions for their "ftphome" directory to prevent access by other members of that group. This works something like: / : true root /export/home : system home directories /export/home/.nomail : true home for all ftp-only accounts /export/home/./.nomail/.ftp-only : chroot for ftp-only guestgroup /export/home/./.nomail/.ftp-only/foo : ftp-only user "foo"'s "ftphome" In the /etc/passwd file you can use the following syntactical "trick" to tell wu-ftp where to set the initial directory for a given user (member of a guestgroup): foo:*:1000:42:Foo's Account:/home/export/.nomail/./ftp-only/foo:/usr/bin/passwd ^^^^^^^^^ Note the '/./' embedded in the "home directory" field With some carefull arrangement of ownership and permissions is should be possible to get all of this to jive. Frankly I haven't had to set something like this up so I'm not sure of all the details. I give plenty of accounts which are ftp/POP only (no normal shell). However all of those people (employees) can simply ask for shell access on that system. Thus I don't have to be concerned about the security considerations of those accounts (their for internal access only -- behind a set of packet filters and all that). (Perhaps I should say that I have the same considerations for those accounts as I do for the shell accounts). Hope all of that helps. I figure I might have to actually set something like this up for real someday -- which is why I decided to field this question.

BSD was written for the Vax architecture, and unless my memory's totally busted, the Vax imposes a fixed 4096-byte physical page size. In fact, I think that even on processors where the page size is adjustable, almost every unix in existence uses 4K.

I recently added an Adaptec 1542 controller and a 1.3 gig Quantum drive and wanted to dedicate this to UNIX. The installer correctly identified the two disks. When I selected the scsi drive, freebsd FDISK cam up just fine, but it seemed unable to read the partition table, as no drive information was displayed. Also, it seemed unaware that the disk parameters were not displayed. When I executed a command, the system crashed. I tried a lot of different things eveb though this was time consuming do to having to select drivers every time because of my ATI video board. Finally, I used OS/2 and LINUX FDISKs to configure the disk and tryed again, but to no avail. I installed LINUX so that I would have something to use, and the installation went well and without incident. I would like to use BSD on my system (NextGen P-90 w/32 megs), but could well wait till the next release if I was fairly certain of being able to install. Thank you for your attention.

Why don't you run your CD and your Colorado off the 2940 and dump the 1542? The only problem is the UltraWide -- I seem to remember that it doesn't quite probe properly with the driver in 2.1 (and definitely not 2.0.5 -- it wasn't out then!) You might consider going up to -stable until the release comes out. Hopefully someone will clarify on the 2940UW issue. For your Ethernet card, unless that Elink3 is a PCMCIA, zp0 is the wrong driver. You want ep0 instead. Other than that you should be okay. Good luck!

It's a bugger tracking -current, but that has settled down lately. Now the problem is the GCC code for the cross environment (I was using the AIX compiler). The PPC hardware I'm using is the PPC Ultra 603 motherboard; this is the board sold by Arrow electronics and used in the Motorolla "PowerStac" systems. This is *NOT* the Apple board. Apple will not document their hardware sufficiently to write drivers for the native hardware without disassembling or otherwise using their ROMs. If you are asking because you own Apple hardware, forget it for at least 6 months. There is a lot of code coming together at once, specifically, the DEVFS code, and the logical-to-physical devices and DEVFS hierarchical device discovery code I've been talking about on -current on and off. This particular code is needed for device layout an recognition. I also still have a minor boot problem because the PPCBug documentation I ordered from Arrow Electronics for ~$250 was shipped UPS even though I paid extra for FedEx, and they never sent the fax they were supposed to following shipment. The upshot is that it will cost me another $250 dollars to have them ship it to our shipping department (where UPS delivers) instead of our front office (where FedEx delivers) without a signature (which FedEx will require instead of losing the damn thing) and I don't know if I'm willing to flush another $250 down the toilet right now. I'll decide when the boot code is the only thing left to bang on. Expect something ~ halfway through July, if we can work out the tree integration issues instantaneously 8-), or a little later otherwise.

Putting that there doesn't seem to have an effect. Then you will need to hack the clock setting code.

I believe the license is not incompatible with GPL. Since FreeBSD is, that's why *we* can't distribute binary kernels.

NAT is dicsussed in rfc1631. i aint saying that NAT is elegant, just saying that i may well be a solution to your particular situation. ip-filt-3.0.4 does a fairly nice job of ip filtering. it can run as an lkm. however you run it, you must patch the kernel sources in order to use it, espcescilly if you want NAT. darren reed calims it will work with FreeBSD 2.0 and 2.1.0 (sic). i image that you have to forget about current. but you wouldnt be running current on that kind of box anyway right? right!. jmb -- Jonathan M.

But, I have a little more information. Relevant pieces of my config: FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE ASUS P55TP4XE Primary EIDE Channel (master): 1 1.2 Gig Samsung HD Primary EIDE Channel (slave) : 1 1.2 Gig Samsung HD Secondary EIDE Channel (master): 1 Toshiba EIDE CD-ROM Drive Secondary EIDE Channel (slave) : Nothing I am having problems getting the Secondary Channel to be recognized. All bios settings are default except for geometries. As anybody with an ATAPI CD-ROM drive knows, you cannot define settings for the CD-ROM in the bios. I believe the bios is just concerned with fixed disk stuff. I have made a new kernel with the ATAPI option, a line for wdc1 right out of LINT and a line for wcd0 right out of LINT. Are there any other options I need to define? When the machine boots this is what happens: -Everything is probed fine until we get to the point where wdc1 is suppose to be detected. -The following message appears: wdc1 not found at (0x170) -My IDE activity LED lights up on the front of my box and never goes out. -Trying to eject the CD-ROM tray manually is futile. Nothing happens. -When I reboot the machine, everything returns to normal. (Until the FreeBSD kernel tries to look at my CD-ROM drive again) This happens with the standard kernel source for wd.c and Werner's patch that was posted. Can anybody shed some light on how I can get FreeBSD to use my CD-ROM drive? ---- On a more positive note: FreeBSD is doing just about everything I would like it to do for me. I have every device on my box configured and working wonderfully under FreeBSD. (Except this drive) Good work everyone.

And I presume you can't use a private network inside the firewall? You can. Just give one "real" (internic issued) IP address to the firewall (one interface on the firewall/proxy host) and give an RFC 1597 address (ip aliased or to a different interface) to the same machine. Now configure your SOCKS or FWTK to proxy between them. Also I've heard rumors that Darren Reed's IPFIL package includes NAT support (it performs network address translation and essentially makes one valid IP address look like a very busy host -- essentially it translates between IP addresses and IP ports -- it's kind of confusing to describe -- particularly since I haven't used it yet, read the code or even read the TCP/IP bible).

The VAX page size was 512 bytes. Keep in mind that the first VAXen were built ~1980. Some of them were shipped with as little as 512KB of physical memory. 4.4BSD, and thus FreeBSD, uses a stripped down version of the Mach virtual memory system. By 1985-1986 when Mach development was ramping up, most VAXen, including the development machines at CMU, had 8MB or more. Because Mach's VM system hid most of the machine dependent details of address translation in pmap.c, it was easy to pretend that the VAX had a larger page size. So the machine-independent parts of the VM system thought that the VAX had a 4K byte page. Roughly speaking, pmap_enter et al. diddled 8 VAX pte entries at a time to create the illusion of a 4K byte page. Alan P.S. Theoretically, you could do the same thing on the x86. John (Dyson), have you ever thought of trying this just for grins?

Our firewall isn't a firewall like the world things about it, but mainly a 'Filter' which lets out all the good packets but doesn't let in any of the 'bad' packets. *grin* We're a pretty small outfit with nothing to hide, (and a *really* slow network connection) but I don't have the time nor desire to restore broken systems and/or format disks if we get broken into.

The VM and vfs_bio system (after my changes) will have problems with bigger than 16K pages. I am sure that they could be worked around. The limitation has to do with the bit-mask that I use for valid and dirtyness being in 512 byte increments. We have 32bits/word, so that means that 16K is kind of the max (if you ignore long-longs.) Long-longs would bring it up to 32K. I would guess that 64K might be cool also, but require a few changes.

It will explain the jumpers that are independent of Sun/HP/DEC/etc settings. There are 8 DIP switches, with switches 1-3 being compression and MRS settings, and switches 4-8 being used to specify drive connectivity and functionality according to host or customer requirements (Sun/HP/DEC/etc).

Add DDS tapes will be treated the same, whether they are MRS compliant or not. Off - MRS is active. Non-MRS tapes are treated as if they are write-protected.

That is the incremental I/O size to/from a block device. Of course, some devices might be 1K -- but then that is a multiple of DEV_BSIZE. Remember, MSDOSFS has 512 Byte block sizes that we have to deal with. EXT2FS has 1K block sizes. Not all filesystems are as *nice* as FFS with a nice even multiple of a page size for a block size.

But first, you need to go to /usr/X11R6/bin to type this command, and you need to change directory for other commands, too.

Ummm, no. As others have explained, that VAX uses a 512-byte physical page size. As the Old Daemon Book explained in great detail, this was so small as to be useless, hence the introduction of ``klusters'' to make the page size be something more manageable. > In fact, I think that even on processors where the page size is adjustable, > almost every unix in existence uses 4K. Ummm, no again. On most of the processors I'm familiar with, the page size is 8K. 4K is considered small by today's standards. My boss is constantly bugging me to get someone in FreeBSD to try using the page size extensions on those processors that support them. > Which "BSD books" are you referring to? Presumably the Old and New Daemon Books.

I seem to have everything set up properly to allow them to run; but the log info they send via syslog are lost. I assume this is because syslog is trying to connect via the unix domain socket, which doesn't exist in the chrooted environment. Is there any way to force it to use the inet domain socket instead? Failing that, do any of you know of any other way for me to handle this? I have considered spawning another syslog daemon in the chrooted environment, and directing it to forward everything to loghost; but I'd rather avoid that if possible - I expect to have several distinct chroot environments and really don't want a syslog process for each one...

It clearly has nothing to do with the particular device card, since the card in question is a PCI smc 100mbit card on a p-90 computer and we are talking about reacting in time to an NFS ACK which is not exactly a big packet. I'm not sure that my answer is IT, but it works and scarier, might make sense, not sure. To refresh the collective consciousness, I would do a # mount -o -P solarisbox:/somewhere /here and the mount would succeed, but then a # cd /here would hang. tcpdump showed that freebsd was getting the NFS ack from the solaris box back ok, but was for some reason rejecting it with a icmp port unreachable error. SO, I tried: # mount -o -cP solarisbox: etc ... The man page for mount_nfs says that -c means: "for UDP mount points, do not do a connect(2), This must be used for servers that do not reply to requests from the standard port number".

Not that I know of. You should be able to pretty much follow the directions in the FreeBSD handbook.

In theory, cows could fly if you gave them wings. Practise is different, however. Since HP-UX has never run on the Intel platform (to my knowledge) it would be very difficult to run them on a PC running FreeBSD (you'd need a very accurate processor emulation too, which is hard work for simple processors, and a nightmare for most modern processors).

First, I beg forgiveness for any inadvertent inaccuracy; I expect Mike Smith to correct me on all counts and to use the opportunity to make more rude comments about my clothing :). The canonical answer to your question is: "Don't ask here. That's a flame-bait question. Try asking in comp.os.linux.advocacy. Don your asbestos underwear first." True, there's nothing quite like your question (or any other "which of these two OS is superior?") to cause a flame-war. A slightly less jaded answer: FreeBSD is an on-going development of released BSD code. It's a genuine BSD with a long lineage. There's a high degree of code stability, lots of people know how the OS is put together thanks to experience with the N other BSDs out there, porting is easy because it's a standard BSD, and so on. FreeBSD is nice and familiar. The FreeBSD team are well organised; subscribe to cvs-sys and watch their updates flow in. Various parts of the OS are allocated to various people, who must check in any changes. Anyone can submit a change, but it won't go in until it has been thoroughly checked by someone who really understands the code it affects. There is one FreeBSD distribution. Everything ported to FreeBSD will work with it. Installing new software is usually as easy as downloading a pre-done package and installing it, or by downloading a few K of a port, typing "make", and watching your system download the rest of the distribution from elsewhere, making necessary changes and compiling it. Linux was put together by a talented individual, from scratch. That code which is not original has been borrowed from a wide variety of sources. In many ways, it's a mongrel. The code doesn't seem as stable as that of BSD. Porting isn't as easy as anyone would like -- Linux isn't a BSD, and isn't SysV, supports API elements from both, and has wierd behaviour in places. Linux is new and quirky. I have no idea whether the Linux team are organised or not. Linus seems to have sole control over the kernel, but the rest of the OS seems to be left to whomever happens to be around. I may be wrong, here. There are many "distributions". Red Hat has a kind of package support which makes installing new software easy, but it only works with their packages, and their packages only work on their distribution. Packages for one distribution may not work for another distribution. In-built Linux detection in various bits of software are often tailored for one distribution (Slackware) and may not work with another. > 2) How complete is FreeBSD's ability to emulate Linux (which would let > me have the best of both worlds possibly)? Someone else will have to field this one, but I've seen mutterings amongst the people doing the ELF support that they've more or less nailed down the capability to run the latest Linux-compiled binaries. I imagine FreeBSD can already run old-style "a.out" Linux binaries, but I'm not sure. If you're getting source code for things, this is irrelevant. Just compile for FreeBSD. > 3) In the news groups someone talked about preferring FreeBSD over > Linux because the former is an actual OS while the latter is just > a kernel... could you explain this difference to me? "FreeBSD" encompasses the whole OS -- kernel, drivers, devices, filesystems, basic utilities, filesystem layout, and so on. If you're familiar with a FreeBSD system, you're unlikely to be get any nasty surprises using another one. Indeed, if you're familiar with any other stock BSD or even some variants (like SunOS), you're unlikely to get any nasty surprises. "Linux" encompasses the Linux kernel. Just the kernel. More or less everything else is up to the distribution, of which there are a few. If you're familiar with a Slackware distribution, a Red Hat distribution may well pack some surprises. Or vice versa. > 4) Linux has ELF files (or something along those lines), yet from what > I've read it seems FreeBSD does not. What is the significance of this? ELF is a new binary distribution format, soon to be handled in some way by FreeBSD. That aside, I'm not sure what it is, save that ELF binaries simply won't run on old Linux systems. In summary; if you want something new, exiting, and trendy, you can't go past Linux. There are plenty of nifty books with one of the distributions on a CD-ROM inside the cover and hints on how to do things on the pages inside. You'll find lots of other Linux fanatics to play with. Just ignore those people claiming that you're running the Amiga of Unix variants. After all, Linux is technically superior, right? If you want something old but up-to-date, familiar, and stable, you can't go past FreeBSD. There aren't lots of nifty beginner books, but there are lots of serious, heavy books that talk a lot about how BSD is put together, administrated and such. BSD is older than many of the people that install Linux. It's not trendy; it's an old, familiar and well respected part of the Unix landscape. You can leave the excitement to the Linux fans -- you prefer reliability and stability to the bleeding edge, right? I run a Linux system, a BSDI system (commercial BSD) and a FreeBSD system. I'm about to add an OSF/1 system to the menagerie. I do sysadmin stuff on SunOS, Solaris, NCR Unix (SysV) and AIX (mangled SysV). FreeBSD is -- for me -- the most comfortable and easy to maintain of the lot. Your mileage may differ. There are lots of happy Linux people out there, too. -- garth@dogbert.systems.sa.gov.au | Garth Kidd +61-8-207-7740 (voice) | Professional Services Division +61-8-207-7860 (fax) | Southern Systems | Adelaide, AUSTRALIA Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 16 17:17:47 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id RAA19216 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 16 May 1996 17:17:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from eac.iafrica.com (h196-7-192-145.iafrica.com [196.7.192.145]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA19204 for ; Thu, 16 May 1996 17:17:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from rnordier@localhost) by eac.iafrica.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id CAA00914; Fri, 17 May 1996 02:16:30 +0200 From: Robert Nordier Message-Id: <199605170016.CAA00914@eac.iafrica.com> Subject: Re: using rcs with `what' To: kline@tera.com (Gary Kline) Date: Fri, 17 May 1996 02:16:29 +0200 (SAT) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199605162348.QAA25649@athena.tera.com> from "Gary Kline" at May 16, 96 04:48:17 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Gary Kline wrote: > > I believe that ``-r'' is used already.

How can I fix it? I believe this is a routing problem. Check your FreeBSD box's routing tables (with netstat -r) and make sure that they are pointing to everything ok. Also disable routed in /etc/sysconfig if you don't need it.

This will depend on the quality of your cable, the speed of your machine, and the load it is under etc. However you SHOULD be able to go upto at least 19200 and maybe even 38400 with a 16450. With a 16550 and a half decent cable you should be able to go all the way up to 115200, or at least 57600.

I'm slightly confused by the word 'optimise'. Do you mean that nothing at all is happening? In which case 'sysctl -w ip.forwarding=1' (as root, at the command line) should get things moving. You can automate this by editing a line in /etc/sysconfig to say # If you want this host to be a gateway, set to YES. gateway=YES and re-booting.

Thanks in advance, JO It'll be in dists/games under wherever the 2.1.0 RELEASE lives. Download all the files there (games.a? and install.sh), then run the install.sh script as root in the /usr directory. By the way, the numbers it generates are random enough for playing games, but probably not good enough for serious stuff like scientific work, so you'll probably need something a bit more rigorous if that's the case. (This is a common failing among random number generators, BTW). If you're just using it for fun, it'll be OK, though. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland jraynard@dial.pipex.com james@jraynard.demon.co.uk From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 16 20:25:02 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id UAA04587 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 16 May 1996 20:25:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from caracas.terraport.net (root@caracas.terraport.net [205.189.144.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA04563 for ; Thu, 16 May 1996 20:24:55 -0700 (PDT) From: bondhutt@terraport.net Received: from mars103.terraport.net (mars103.terraport.net [205.189.145.103]) by caracas.terraport.net (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA04601 for ; Thu, 16 May 1996 23:24:43 -0400 Date: Thu, 16 May 1996 23:24:43 -0400 Message-Id: <199605170324.XAA04601@caracas.terraport.net> X-Sender: bondhutt@mail.terraport.net (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.3 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Dual Pentuim Support Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello there, I have tried to look through the web site information to see if Freebsd supports dual pentium boards.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have an opportunity to showcase Freebsd at work. In other words I am suggesting a project to be done with FreeBSD and have got positive signs. One of the concerns though have been security. While I am learning user related topics at home I am going to need a crash course in Unix administration since at work I will have to manage users. The questions: When Freebsd boots I have noticed that it starts certain daemons. I don't recall which ones, but at least the ftp daemon is loaded. I need to dissable ftp, find out other daemons that are loaded and perhaps stop them from loading too. I want to start with a news server ONLY to begin with until I get better acquainted with the other daemons. I would also appreciate suggestions with Unix administration books. I am going to check the handbook for the suggestions there, but what I need is a book that could be easily found in a bookstore. Some of the books suggested in the handbook are not readily available. Last time I stopped by my favorite computer bookstore the only thing I could find related to BSD was a book with the "design" of freebsd. What other Unix, preferably commercial, is close enough to FreeBSD so I could get the admin details from it. Perhaps an O'reilly(?) book (do they mail order?) may do the trick.

Then tell the kernel where it live (boot with -c, use "visual"). Alternately, the most recent -current *might* find it, since it has some PnP support.

I believe Kaleb Keithley rebuilt X with one of them and it didn't work. This implies to me it's a compiler bug, as there are quite a few known optimizer bugs in gcc 2.7.2 for the x86, and at least one generic optimizer bug that was posted on gnu.gcc.bug. > Using a newer compiler with more aggressive optimizing can speed up > the entire system quite a bit I hope; it is a shame not to use that > possibility. Which would you rather have, 'known good' code that is slower or 'probably bogus' and faster code. Since there are known bugs, given a system the size of FreeBSD the possibility of the bug being tickled *somewhere* is high. And, given that the speedups for stock gcc aren't stupendous (unlike pgcc which can be quite high, but the code generation is suspect in many cases) it's not worth it. But, according to Warner Losh, gcc 2.7.3 is due out Real Soon Now, so you folks with lots of free time on your hands can build everything you can get your hands on it and see if anything breaks. :) Nate From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 16 21:40:13 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id VAA10302 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 16 May 1996 21:40:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from palmer.demon.co.uk (palmer.demon.co.uk [158.152.50.150]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA10295 for ; Thu, 16 May 1996 21:40:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from palmer.demon.co.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by palmer.demon.co.uk (sendmail/PALMER-1) with ESMTP id FAA10262; Fri, 17 May 1996 05:39:26 +0100 (BST) To: bondhutt@terraport.net cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: "Gary Palmer" Subject: Re: Dual Pentuim Support In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 16 May 1996 23:24:43 EDT." <199605170324.XAA04601@caracas.terraport.net> Date: Fri, 17 May 1996 05:39:23 +0100 Message-ID: <10260.832307963@palmer.demon.co.uk> Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk bondhutt@terraport.net wrote in message ID <199605170324.XAA04601@caracas.terraport.net>: > Hello there, I have tried to look through the web site information to see > if Freebsd supports dual pentium boards.

There is work (the SMP project) which will allow it to work on both processors, which is making quite a lot of progress and should be made more publically available (in the master source tree I mean) quite shortly judging on comments I've seen. It will never make it into the 2.1 branch (i.e. -stable), it will be something that will be in 2.2-RELEASE though (what is -current at the minute).

By the way, in the ports directory I got all the files (README, INDEX, ...) and directories (games, cad, x11, ...), and all the files in this directory (ports) have zero value when I try "du -s" and also all the files in the "distfiles" directory (".gz" files) have zero values (the same is true for /cdrom).

Ok, several things : - the FTP server is not loaded at system startup. - you don't necessarily need to disable anything to improve security. The default configuration of a FreeBSD machine is pretty tight. You can improve it considerably by editing /etc/sysconfig and changing the 'sendmail_flags=' value to "NO". Note that this will make it impossible for the system to receive mail. The next thing to look at is the /etc/inetd.conf file. This controls the 'inetd' program, which in turn manages most of the network-related daemons. Read the documentation, and start disabling things. A good set to start with would be shell, login, uucpd, finger, bootps, tftp, comsat, ntalk, echo, discard(both of them), chargen, daytime, time, klogin, eklogin, kshell, pcnfsd. ie. almost everything. Leave 'ftp' and 'telnet' in so that you can login and shift files around from other machines. Then go get the INN FAQ, and ask the isp@freebsd.org mailing list if someone will mentor you as you get it set up. > I would also appreciate suggestions with Unix administration books. > I am going to check the handbook for the suggestions there, but what > I need is a book that could be easily found in a bookstore.

O'Reilly do indeed do mail order, as well as taking orders on the web. There are plenty of other bookstores on the web as well, many are much cheaper. Failing that, the handbook lists most of the books' ISBN numbers, which means that any halfway-good bookstore can get them anyway. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

However, when I tried to boot it after the install process, the kernel stopped and said that it can't mount the root partition (wd1a). Naturally, it couldn't because the root partition is "wd2a"... In my machine there are 2 IDE controllers, with one HD attached to each. Yes, it has to be this way, unfortunatly. I tried booting using "hd(1,a)/kernel" to load from the second controller, but that didn't work. What in fact happened was that it translated to "wd(0,a)/kernel", which booted the kernel of the first Hard Drive on the first controller. Wrong, as now it thinks the root partition is "wd0a". Then, I tried "wd(1,a)/kernel", which again, loaded the kernel, but it couldn't find it's root fs (now, it looked on wd1a again). It would appear that there is no way to mount a root fs from a HD on the second controller. Please, somebody tell me that I am wrong! BTW: I tried booting using "/kernel -a", but the flag was ignored. When I looked at the sources, this is because the GENERIC kernel is compiled with root on "wd0", instead of generic. I would very much like to play with my newly installed system! I would be most obliged if someone could help me out of my predicament. -Dom P.S.

I don't claim to be a SCSI expert either, especially on new hardware. Are you sure the 2940 has a 68 pin and not a SCSI-2 50 pin? If it's a 50 pin, then a Iomega Zip should work with a simple cable, that wouldn't be too expensive. If it's 2940W then that's a SCSI-3 device, which I think UltraWide is another name for.

Of course you can only use two of these connectors at any one time... The 2940W is the same as above but with only the 50pin connector internally. Does anyone know if it is possible to get convertors to connect 50pin drives to 68pin cables internally ?

I'm wondering if anybody else has seen similar. FYI, the machine is a P133 with 64 MB, scads of swap, about 28 GB of disk on two controllers (Adaptec 2940), SMC 100baseT card, vanilla Trident VGA card. The disks are Quantum 34300's plus one Compaq M1606S (well that's what it calls itself!) My first reaction was that there may be a problem with the VM code, but now I'm starting to think that we might be seeing a memory error up in the pages that the kernel keeps locked down for its own use. Opinions?

The soundblaster series is next for pure compatibility. I don't have a GUS (yet) so I don't know if FreeBSD can use the midi functionality on it or not. Well, as far as I understand, FreeBSD is targeted at supporting the digital audio in/out mainly, over the music portions. Some MIDI support is available through the sbmidi device, but I don't know what components that uses.

A device that does 10 MHz transfers in non-Ultra mode, can do up to 20 MHz transfers if it supports Ultra mode. Wide means that a device supports 16-bit transfers. Actually the SCSI spec allows 32-bit transfers, but AFAIK there aren't any 32-bit capable SCSI cards or devices. So, an 8-bit device doing 10MHz transfers will give you 10 MB/sec, and an 8-bit device doing 20MHz transfers in Ultra mode, will give you 20 MB/sec. For the same scenario with a wide device, you get 10 MHz = 20 MB/sec, and 20 MHz = 40 MB/sec. The 2940 has one internal 50 pin and one external 50 pin connector. The 2940W has one internal 50 pin, one internal 68 pin, and one external 68 pin connector. This is regardless of Ultra or non-Ultra. Though I haven't done it myself, it is possible to connect an 8-bit device to a 68-pin internal cable. You have to be carefull of termination issues. Adaptec suggests that you get 50-pin/58-pin adapters from them, but I do know that you can get them from other vendors. Try Cables America or Cables To Go in the Computer Shopper. I have an external 68-pin SCSI cable from Cables America that hasn't given me any problems. Make sure you get some sort of return policy because bad cabling is too common.

Well, sccsid '@(#)' convention can be useful if you simply want to embed any comment-style information in a file. For example, I remember one coding standards stylesheet used to require : # @(#) # Author: , [...] for shell scripts. Admittedly, you can 'grep' for that, but with 'what' you don't have to worry about file type. One point is: any particular version control system is a development tool and is likely to be unavailable at an end-user site. But it is easy enough to say on the phone, "Run 'what' and tell me what version of the 'foo' library the program's using." It's not a big thing, either way, but 'what' probably has its niche. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 17 14:27:40 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA21228 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 17 May 1996 14:27:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA21221 for ; Fri, 17 May 1996 14:27:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id OAA20745; Fri, 17 May 1996 14:23:28 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199605172123.OAA20745@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: ip masquerading To: dwhite@riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (Doug White) Date: Fri, 17 May 1996 14:23:27 -0700 (MST) Cc: clintm@ICSI.Net, FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: <199605171833.LAA06526@riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu> from "Doug White" at May 17, 96 11:33:47 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > Is ip masquerading available for FreeBSD?

Which is to say, everyone who understands the problem. The correct fix for this is to use "socks". The new version of socks des not require you to recompile shared version of programs. A cannonical soloution for binary apps like netscape (ther than running something like the "harvest" cache on your gateway machine, which also works) would be to implement a socks forwarding client as a tunnel device driver.

This installed without any hitch on my FreeBSD 2.1R server. I used Mosaic on a remote machine to set the proxy server up. This was installed on a 486DX25 "server" with no packet forwarding and 80 MB IDE HD and 80MB SCSI HD (Seagate ST296, really old). The "server" has no X installed. The netscape 1.12 proxy server can be downloaded from http://www.netscape.com You need to register first and then use the user id and password to download. This gives you 60 days to test it out. (And look for a free alternative.) The proxy server costs $995 I think. I then tried to use this proxy from Mosaic 2.6 on FreeBSD with no sucess even though the README for Mosaic says that it has proxy support. I guess it is just some configuration/setup issue. Perhaps finding a netscape that runs under FreeBSD 2.1R can solve this problem. Then I installed Netscape Atlas preview on a WinFWG machine with microsoft tcp/ip stack. In the Options menu I selected Network Preferences and manual Proxy Configuration to type in the host name and port number for my proxy server. After this netscape works fine. I don't need any name server on the internal network either.

Whether it is 2GPages or 4GPages depends on my code signed/unsigned bogosity factor :-), or using the "right variable sizes." There is probably a limitation in vfs_bio (or other filesystem code) of 512Bytes for a block and we can have 32 bits of them. That would cause me to guess that at that layer we can probably do 1Tb (512*2GBlocks). Again, there might be a problem with using the "right size" of variables. There are other limitation that I have heard of, but those are the basic limitations of the above subsystems. It is possible to overcome them, and I would think that the vfs_bio limitation is worse.

Just 'au' will start the server, auinfo -audio tcp/localhost:8000 will check if it's running, then you should be able to run any of the programs mentioned on the nas manpage in a similar way.

Hmm. There's a 'syslog 514/udp' entry in /etc/services - I don't know if that's any use. Actually, looking at the syslogd man page, it says it can receive messages over such a socket - but points out a possible security problem (although this could probably be avoided). -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland jraynard@dial.pipex.com james@jraynard.demon.co.uk From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 17 16:53:22 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA01915 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 17 May 1996 16:53:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from base486 (DIAL41.SYNET.NET [168.113.1.45]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA01902 for ; Fri, 17 May 1996 16:53:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from imdave@localhost) by base486 (8.6.11/8.6.9) id SAA14043 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org; Fri, 17 May 1996 18:53:05 -0500 Date: Fri, 17 May 1996 18:53:05 -0500 From: Dave Bodenstab Message-Id: <199605172353.SAA14043@base486> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Is this te right place to discuss this? Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I saw an add on the net for a product that sounded interesting. It was targeted for windows users, but the hardware device is what was intriguing. So I contacted the firm and asked if the programming specifications were available. Well, after some thought, they offered to release the specs under a NDA. When I mentioned that I would want to release any software that I write to use the device to the free Unix community in source form, they included what I believe is an attempt to accommodate this scenario. However, the terms of the NDA seem contradictory. Since the FreeBSD development community is concerned with the availability of free software, and I would develop the software using FreeBSD, is this a question that is proper for this forum? If so, I'll post the terms of the NDA for discussion. If not, where might be an appropriate place? Thanks!

Perhaps the best solution is to ship a single program who's job is to look for identification strings in programs. Maybe this functionality might be included in ident or what or in a third new program. Backwards compatibility could be maintained by using links to the old program names. The other advantage of this is that there would only be a single program to maintain, rather than having to fuss about what, ident, fred's new version program for his new source code control system, ...

My guess at this point would be that you built a symlink tree from /usr/ports to the tree on the CDROM (as instructed in the manual, if I remember), but you (at the current moment) don't have the CDROM mounted, and hence the data is unavailable. If this is the case, just type (as root) `mount /cdrom' and then try again. It should fix (I think) your problem... (all the symlink tree does is create a set of pointers back onto the CDROM, it don't actually copy or contain any data from the CDROM. When the data is needed, the symlink refers the program needing the data to the CDROM to find it). > I am very sorry for the misunderstanding.

This is something that I cannot comment on. If you feel that Walnut Creek didn't provide an adequate support service, then you should correspond directly with them. Jordan Hubbard (jkh@cdrom.com) is both a Walnut Creek employee and also the president of the FreeBSD project, and wants to see all sides kept happy. If you feel it necessary, I'm sure Jordan would be happy to bring this matter up with Walnut Creek, as it is in their own interests to keep their customers happy.

Hmmm... guess I don't understand the problem. :-) Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, ``masquerading'' means using remapped TCP and UDP port numbers to facilitate internal hosts connecting to external servers, even though you only have one machine really talking to the Internet. You give all of the outgoing packets the same IP address but remap their source ports so when traffic comes back you know who it is really destined for, do the reverse mapping, etc.. Now, as far as the rest of the Internet is concerned, it just looks like your one IP address happens to be generating a lot of traffic, no? At least under the (not always valid) assumption that you don't run out of ports in your remapping range. What standards in particular are you referring to? Of course, some protocols (which embed address information in the packets, like FTP) will not work through this kind of hackery without even more hackery, but at least it provides a capability to certain folks who didn't have it before. Seems like it would be one's own business whether they did masquerading or not. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

Writing a socks client that hooks to a tunnel driver on the machine that needs the masquerading is a better solution, and it doesn't require kernel hacks to get there (or source hacks for statically linked binaries, like normal socks does). And it does it without violating the world. I guess you would need to write a tunnel client daemon (instead of putting in about twice as much work to write IP masquerading, as well as dragging the poor kernel into the mess). Seems like that would provide the same capability for less effort with fewer drabacks -- but would require an OS (like FreeBSD) with tunnel drivers to make it work.

Which is to say, you turn on IP forwarding by default (which is illegal) and rewrite the packet source headers on the way in and out (which is also illegal). If anyone knows how these actions are in violation of a requirement, I'd surely appreciate a pointer to the pertinent rfc. They are part of the implementation of the IP stack on the host, which in this case is the *system* incorporating the masquerading server and client. Internet requirements documents do not specify implementation, merely interface. > Now, as far as the rest of the Internet is concerned, it just looks > like your one IP address happens to be generating a lot of traffic, no? Prove it. Run traceroute through a masquerading host. Clearly the implemenation would terminate the route at the masquerading host, yes? You would not trace through, but to, the Internet interface of the multi-host system. > At least under the (not always valid) assumption that you don't run > out of ports in your remapping range. What standards in particular are > you referring to? 1) Gateway 2) Routing Garrett explained this all before. I haven't been able to find anything in the archives. If you have it cached anywhere or can suggest a more apposite keyword, I would appreciate it. Frankly, I just don't believe it. You may write an implementation of masquerading which is deficient, and causes your host to violate requirements, in which case you are a turd and I sniff at you, or you may write an implementation which is not deficient, in which case the masquerade client is (for rfc purposes) a *part*of* your masquerade server, and the *system* fulfills host requirements -- and that is all that is necessary, for it is the *system* (incorporating an internetwork as a component) which is connected to the Internet. Writing a socks client that hooks to a tunnel driver on the machine that needs the masquerading is a better solution, and it doesn't require kernel hacks to get there (or source hacks for statically linked binaries, like normal socks does). And it does it without violating the world. Ah, but it requires running FreeBSD on my toaster, my Amiga, my lawnmower, in short everything I have that does IP traffic. Sorry, but my toaster is not going to fulfill host requirements. In order to conform to rfcs, I need something to provide masquerade for my toaster, otherwise I will never be able to turn of the stupid thing when I'm in Bangkok, and the flaming pop-tarts will burn down my house.

I have 24 megs of Ram and I'm dual booting Windows 95 and FreeBSD using System Commander. I shrunk my original 800 MB DOS partion in half using fips.exe from the Linux distribution to make space for the FreeBSD partition. I then installed via NFS. The kernel loads from hard disk, probes all the i/o devices, and then hangs. The system will not respond to key strokes including <^c>, , <^d>, . Do you have any suggestions as to how I might proceed in debugging this problem ? Darren Croke. ps. FYI, I had to turn off Dell's power management in order to get the system to boot the FreeBSD kernel at all.

Well, feel free to write "masquerading" instead of a socks tunnel; it should take you about twice as long. No skin off my nose. You might be real pissed when you try to get it integrated into the kernel sources, though... I don't think Garrett has gone insane yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Sandip From owner-freebsd-questions Sat May 18 00:28:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id AAA04331 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 18 May 1996 00:28:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Arizona.EDU (Penny.Telcom.Arizona.EDU [128.196.128.217]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA04136; Sat, 18 May 1996 00:27:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sun1paztcn.wr.usgs.gov by Arizona.EDU (PMDF V5.0-5 #2381) id <01I4TYBJD2WGCDTVLX@Arizona.EDU>; Sat, 18 May 1996 00:27:50 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost by sun1paztcn.wr.usgs.gov (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA16905; Sat, 18 May 1996 00:26:45 -0700 (MST) Date: Sat, 18 May 1996 00:26:45 -0700 From: Doug Wellington Subject: Re: sendmail read errors/timeouts etc. In-reply-to: "Your message of Fri, 17 May 1996 18:41:20 MST."

Well, I'm gonna start with a couple dumb questions... What version of sendmail are you running? I think the most recent is 8.7.5... When you switched, did you keep a copy of your old sendmail.cf?

I've already written masquerading (I call it "address translation") as part of a revised user-land PPP daemon, and it works great... even handles FTP control stream hackery. Of course, this has nothing to do with PPP. It's only because PPP, using /dev/tun0 on one side and a serial link on the other, can act as such a filter. I strongly agree it would be nice (and morally correct) to keep this type of hackery out of the kernel. There's a larger question here then, which is that we need a more general mechanism for user-land "filtering" (in the most general sense) of packets as they cross an interface. BPF and /dev/tun? are both great, but you can't implement a filter with them. Firewalling, encryption, and accounting are examples too. Poul-Henning suggested some ideas about this a while back, but I haven't heard if he plans on developing them. A simple idea would be to have "detour" devices where you could open /dev/filteri0 and /dev/filtero0, attach them to some interface, and have all packets (optionally before or after (de)fragmentation) passing through that interface routed up one and down the other. Better yet, with devfs, they could even have names like /dev/if_ed1 and /dev/of_ed1 and no binding operation would be necessary. Then the picture would look roughly like this: --> /dev/if_ed1 --> / \ network <--> interface ed1 <--> <--> kernel routing \ / <-- /dev/of_ed1 <-- When either file is not open, packets pass normally without the detour, and with normal kernel speed. When one is open, you get to play your games with them but pay a penalty in speed. In the same way that user land PPP has become more popular and widely developed than kernel land PPP, even though it is supposedly slower, I think something like this would also be a net gain both for fostering useful developments and fighting kernel bloat. I guess you could also do this just using the existing tunnel devices with some kind of "redirect" ioctl(). Terry, what do you think of this idea? How would you design a general purpose user land filtering mechanism? -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

You're not alone...I'm trying to figure this out too. I've been looking through RFC 1122 (Host Requirements - Communications Layers) and RFC 1812 (Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers). I think these are probably the right places to find info related to this topic, but so far I haven't found it. All I've been able to confirm so far is that turning on IP forwarding by default *is* illegal, by section 3.1 of RFC 1122. It's not clear to me that IP masquerading violates this requirement. > > At least under the (not always valid) assumption that you don't run > > out of ports in your remapping range.

A search for "masquerading and garrett" across all the FreeBSD archives uncovered one previous discussion on this topic, but no reference to an RFC. Ditto for "masquerading and rfc". I can understand people's opposition to IP masquerading. Indeed, I share a lot of these opinions...I suppose above everything else, this idea just plain feels wrong! I'd really like to have something concrete to go on though, but citing "All the routing RFCs" and "Garrett explained this all before" isn't necessarily helpful. Maybe I'm just plain stupid or something, but if Terry or Garrett could point to the right RFC, internet-draft, FYI, or whatever, I'd be real happy. In peace, Bruce.

I am told that its the total ram a process takes up and RSS is how much memory is in the core, but my ps aux output shows about half the processes with a larger RSS than VSZ. here is a sample: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND nirva 5272 0.0 0.0 556 436 p6 TW 9:16AM 0:00.21 vim main.c nirva 5471 0.0 1.5 344 448 p4 I+ 11:08AM 0:00.04 man ps nirva 5472 0.0 0.6 492 180 p4 I+ 11:08AM 0:00.01 sh -c /usr/bin nirva 5474 0.0 1.5 216 444 p4 I+ 11:08AM 0:00.18 more -s I have also been told that VSZ is the total swap space availible. that doesnt make sense either since when i do a clean boot, ps aux shows a lot of VSZ, but pstat -s shows no swap in use. here is a sample: Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/sd0s1b 65536 0 65472 0% Interleaved (thats from the same time as the above ps aux) I've also been told that VSZ is how much a process allocates and RSS is how much its actully using. i assume this has to do with demand paging so you dont actually use the ram until really use it, but im not sure. someone please explain this RSS/VSZ thing to me, im trying to find a ram problem that ive been having since i went from -release to -stable, i run out of ram on machines that i didnt with -RELEASE but now am with -STABLE. processes seem to go into deep sleep before the system dies, and all those sleeping processes take up tons of ram. I have 64 megs ram and 64 megs swap in this machine, 48 megs ram and 64 megs swap in another, and 32 megs ram and 64 megs swap in another, all went from -RELEASE to -STABLE, all experiecned the problem. my reason for the switch was that if i used setsockopt() with the IP_HDRINCL option under certain circumstances, i got a kernel panic with -RELEASE, this was fixed from panicing in -STABLE, now it just returns an error when in use sendto() after using IP_HDRINCL. *sigh* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Danny Dulai Feet.

And as I've said before, Sorry, I don't have the source to Win95, so I can't do that. I agree that masquerading isn't a fix-all, or even the prefered method of handling this, but until Socks5 is to the point that it can "socksify" programs that I don't have source for, without interferring with regular operations, and do this under OS/2, Windows 3.X, NT, and Win95, then my choice is to run linux on our firewall and use masquerading, or to spend a few weeks of time that I haven't got figuring out how to proxy a bunch of non-standard services for apps that I haven't got source for.

The following approaches may not be 100% identical but some of the objectives are similiar: o Socks - Socks 5 and earlier need sockified clients. - one step process o Fwtk - owned by TIS and needed 2 steps processes o Applications Proxies e.g. Delegate, CERN etc. - good solutions but hard to find one to cover all applications, except Delegate which is very buggy. o tcprelay/udprelay - reasonable soluton. - Almost 1 step e.g. ftp tcprelay 8021 where tcprelay is a gateway machine. o NAT - 1 IP address if this is the objective. None of those mentioned above (except NAT) need kernal modification . One thing that I have not tried is IPIP which can do similiar things.

Not that this really suprised me, but it effectively makes any rsh command useless that tries to take data from stdin. The bug is that Winlose never sends a FIN flag, but immediately sends a package with an RST in it. This causes the remote command to be aborted (as opposed to see a closed connection, and process it as an EOF condition).

You seem to be implying that masquerading is ``detectable'' in some way by external machines, that is, that somehow it's going to screw up (or make angry) other routers on the Internet. This completely escapes me. In other words, if you're saying it violates some protocol, then that violation should be visible on the wire between the masquerading host and the rest of the Internet. Can you describe what that violation is? Remember, we're talking about a situation where the hosts behind the masquerading host are on a ``leaf'' network, without any other route to the Internet. Obviously, it would be totally screwey otherwise. So as far as the Internet, the IETF, the protocol police, and everybody else is concerned, there's only a single host at this site and it's obeying all the rules! If you disagree, then the burden of proof is on you to quote the relevant RFC's. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

Huh?!? Splain it to me. If I have a FreeBSD box that has a socks client daemon on it an options gateway is turned on, then incoming packets from the ethernet interfaces are considered in one of two lights: 1) Destined for the local net 2) Destined for other than the local net If there is a local net route, such that local packets are sent to the local ethernet, and non-local packets are forwarded to the tunnel device (the default route), which then "socks'ifies" them onto another local net, then the socks client and daemon can run on the same box. Which then forwards non-locally generated packets for the real net to the default interface for the non-local subnets (it does this because you are running gated). So IP packets from you local net 'A' get socksified to local net 'B' and local net 'B' traffic fro the real net comes from the socks host and is routed via the PPP interface. So you source route. I don't see what's so hard to understand. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

Just do a tarball of /etc, /var and /usr and then reinstall from scratch but /var doesn't really need a 4 gig partition since most of the space should be on the /usr partition... you might want to symlink /var/mail to somewhere in the /usr partition and move all the incoming mail there first.

I can't ftp or rlogin to those machines, either. Ping/ traceroute show no weirdness that I can determine. If I telnet to ports on those machines which are running custom written servers that I've (or others) have written including a MUD and a chat server, it seems approx. 800 bytes or so of data is sent and then the connection freezes.

I did not want the possibility of a connection being initiated from the internet. I used reserved "unrouteable" IPs (192.168.*.*) on the ethernet, and my gateway/router/masquerader/firewall was my PC connected to the net via PPP. I was not aware that masquerading was unique/specific to Linux. Does the router-in-a-box from BSDi use socks? They advertise needing only one IP address to connect an ethernet to the internet. BTW, the Linux masquerading home page is http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ Clint From owner-freebsd-questions Sat May 18 21:20:56 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id VAA19673 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 18 May 1996 21:20:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bambi.pomona.edu (bambi.pomona.edu [134.173.64.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA19666 for ; Sat, 18 May 1996 21:20:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from POMONA.EDU by POMONA.EDU (PMDF V5.0-7 #12356) id <01I4V5V7L28W8WW40C@POMONA.EDU> for questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 18 May 1996 21:19:50 -0800 (PST) Date: Sat, 18 May 1996 21:19:50 -0800 (PST) From: JOHN Subject: tip, /etc/remote, /etc/modems To: questions@freebsd.org Message-id: <01I4V5V7L60I8WW40C@POMONA.EDU> X-VMS-To: IN%"questions@freebsd.org" MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to successfully use my modem to dial out with tip.

What is the address of their tech supp group? I didn't know they had one. To answer your question it would be helpful to know which version of FreeBSD and XFree86 you are running.
