If you compile the source straight from sendmail.org, you have to move it. The filename before it's move is something like: sendmail-8.8.6/src/obj.FreeBSD.2.2.2.i586/sendmail (this is a relative path where sendmail-8.8.6 is the root directory for the unzipped/untarred sendmail distribution files). The actual path depends or your release and architecture. > >> Am I supposed to put the sendmail.cf file in my /etc directory? > > > >Yes. > > > What m4 made looks much different than the sendmail.cf file I am using now > here is the file.. is this correct? >From the sendmail-8.8.6/cf/README file: Configuration files are contained in the subdirectory "cf", with a suffix ".mc". They must be run through "m4" to produce a ".cf" file. You must pre-load "cf.m4": m4 ${CFDIR}/m4/cf.m4 config.mc > config.cf where ${CFDIR} is the root of the cf directory and config.mc is the name of your configuration file. In your case, ${CFDIR} is probably sendmail-8.8.6/cf. Let's say, for example, you unzipped/untarred sendmail.8.8.6.tgz in /home/bud. In that case, from whatever directory you have you config.mc, issue the command: m4 /home/bud/sendmail-8.8.6/cf/m4/cf.m4 config.mc > config.cf The config.cf file is the one you'll eventually move to /etc/sendmail.cf. HOWEVER, you'll really be wanting to read the file sendmail-8.8.6/cf/README *before* you run the above command, since you'll likely want to customize the config.mc for your individual needs before generating the new .cf file.

Try putting the second one in by itself and get it running properly. You probably need to run the setup utility, set the irq & port to unique settings, and disable plug&pray.

I wanted to share an experience I had to save others a lot of time and frustration. If you're wanting to use a disk that has, say 4096 cylindars in normal mode, and you want to dual boot, you'll probably run into trouble. In LBA mode, you can often get the cylindars to be 1023, but FreeBSD's fdisk will still detect the hard disk's native geometry. For this reason, if you're dual-booting and want things to actually work, you will need to set the drive geometry to what your BIOS is using (in LBA mode) in the FreeBSD fdisk. If you don't do this, things will get fairly confused and you won't be able to boot FreeBSD from the boot manager (but you probably will be able to boot using a boot floppy and specifying the location of the kernel) Also another pointer: when buying RAM, spend the extra money and get parity RAM. You may need to specify "True Parity". There are goofy parity RAM simms that have one extra chip that emulates parity (essentially always setting correct parity) for boards that require parity ram... don't buy these- they don't offer anything more than ordinary non-parity simms. I was having a severe problem with page faults at inopportune times (ie, in kernel mode) and signal 11s all over the place, which has now totally gone away since I replaced the non-parity ram (which obviously has a few bad bits somewhere) with parity ram.

Here's my setup: FreeBSD-2.2.2-RELEASE as primary on wdc0 Windows95 as primary on wdc1 (basically each on separate controller) The problem is that on bootup it gives me F1 for FreeBSD and F5 for "disk2". The F1 works perfectly, yet when I press F5 is also puts me into FreeBSD instead of dual-booting over to windows 95. Is there somewhere to change the settings for it? I've also got problems with XFree86 3.3, but I'm requesting help from them first. That reminds me...how do I get more virtual consoles? I have 3 at the moment and can't seem to figure out how to get more. I did notice in LINT that there might be something that applies. But if it takes a kernel rebuild, it'll have to wait till I can get the time. Thanks again.

You are running mgetty from /etc/ttys, aren't you? If not, you should make that change as soon as possible. Also, if you were to try again, I'm sure you could get getty set up for dial-in access. All you need to do, is uncomment a line in /etc/ttys, and set it for the correct gettytab entry. >the only problem that i had with mgetty is that it wont let me dial >out. >anyone know if you are supposed to be able to dial out when mgetty is >installed??(or did i just mess up some where??) It's been a long while since I've set up for a dial-in and dial-out on the same port, but I believe there's a way. I want to say that when you dial out, mgetty will see it, and exit. Then when it tries to respawn, it will just exit when it sees that the device is locked. Just remember that there are different devices. ttydX for incoming, and cuaaX for outgoing.

Without this "feature", anyone can create their own config files or run ppp interactively and do what they want. I don't think you can create your own pppd config files, but you can pass what you want to connect/disconnect on the command line. > Chuck Bacon -- crtb@capecod.net > ABHOR SECRECY -- DEFEND PRIVACY -- Brian , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

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

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

The curious part of this is that NetBSD can boot just fine on this machine. I've been comparing the boot blocks which have diverged somewhat but I'm not a good enough asm coder to discern what some of the difference might imply. Before I give up and install netbsd on this machine, is there any way I can short circuit the boot block to do what I want (boot;)? The ESDI disk uses 2 slices, one for the kernel and / such that the bad144 cylinder is below 1023.

This usually indicates that your geometry is wrong or your BIOS can't reach the disk. You probably need to move your win95 disk onto the same controller as your FreeBSD disk for booteasy to work properly. > I've also got problems with XFree86 3.3, but I'm requesting help from them > first.

Set MAXCONSOLES to some number greater than the number of consoles you want to have total. I don't see this in GENERIC for 2.2-GAMMA so it may not be required anymore. 2. Create the number of virtual console devices. Run /dev/MAKEDEV vtyX where X = total number of virtual consoles you want + 1 or so. 3. Edit /etc/ttys and copy & enable the getty lines on the consoles you want logins on. Leave at least one unassigned so X can use it. 4. 'kill -1 1' and your consoles are ready for use.

You treat them as you would any other disk, just make sure you have a disk in there when you boot up so the geometry is probed properly. You should be able to mount your DOS-formatted zip using mount -t msdos /dev/sdXc /mnt, where X is the device number. FreeBSD 3.0 is still in the works. I wouldn't expect anything on that branch anytime soon. There is still lots of life in 2.x.

Parity RAM won't prevent errors from happening, it will just tell you when they do. The system will respond by rebooting, which really doesn't get you much. You probably just ended up with better (or faster) RAM than what you had before. High-end UNIX workstations are often equipped with ECC RAM, which can actually "fix" one-bit errors in memory accesses. This is yet another area in which garden-variety PCs don't stack up to workstations, either in performance or cost. ;^) Buy good quality RAM, parity or not, and be happy. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

The only way to stop the overflows is to slow down your baudrate. The 16450 can only handle speeds of 9600 baud or so without dropping packets. You can buy serial cards with 16550 UARTs on them, which I'd recommend if you're trying to do high speed comm on this port.

You can download the FreeBSD distrubtion onto your Linux system and make installation floppies if you have a LOT of patience; I used to do this when my only network connection was at work and I didn't have a network card for my computer. You can install FreeBSD directly over the internet, but I don't recommend doing this with a dial-up account; you're just too likely to loose the connection somewhere along the way. If you have a (FreeBSD supported) network card in your computer and can take it to school or work, a network installation works very nicely. I have a shared T1 at work, and do my network installations this way. You can also download the FreeBSD installation files onto an MS-DOS partition on your hard disk and access them from the FreeBSD installer later on. The fourth, and perhaps best, option is to buy an inexpensive IDE CD-ROM. My local distributor now has two brands of IDE "12x" CD-ROMS for under $60. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

StarOffice doesn't work properly in 16 bit mode, you have to demote yourself to 15 bit mode before the pixmaps appear. You do this by adding the keyword Weight 555 to your 16 bit depth subsection. Optionally, you can use 8 or 24 bit modes.

Thanks for the clarify. The only thing I can think if is that the version of tcpdump in FreeBSD varies from the output that tcptrace is expecting. You might check the tcptrace docs and see if it requires certain flags. Also, make sure file 'foo' actually has valid data, perhaps you forgot to compile in bpf and the error is going into the file and not to the console. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jul 13 21:33:26 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA27891 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 13 Jul 1997 21:33:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.186.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA27882 for ; Sun, 13 Jul 1997 21:33:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id VAA03943; Sun, 13 Jul 1997 21:33:19 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 21:33:19 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: E Lakin cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: upgrading 2.2.1->2.2.2 problem In-Reply-To: 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 Sun, 13 Jul 1997, E Lakin wrote: > While trying to upgrade my machine to 2.2.2, i ran into a problem early- > my machine won't boot from any of the 2.2.2 media!

Unfortunately, there's no panic output. Here's what it says when booting from a floppy disk: ...various HW probes... changing root device to fd0c panic: double fault syncing disks... Then, the machine freezes.

You got this 'double fault' and then your system just hangs right? This is how I got around it. Download the 3.0_SNAP install disk and use it. Someone on this list told me there seems to be a problem with the 2.2.2 install floppies. I installed 3.0SNAP myself but you can change the installation in the setup stage by entering 2.2.2_RELEASE in the appropriate block. I hope your problem matches my answer. Other that that, listen to Doug White. I don't even know what panic is yet.

It seems that: Some AMD motherboards will not boot the 2.2.2 floppies, while yet other machines (I happeed to run across DEC Ventirus FXs) won't boot later 2.2-RELENG boot floppies. The cause for all this is still unknown. The best cure available at the moment is to use the older floppy to install the newer version (use the options section to change the name of the distribution). You may have to do a little fixing afterwards, but once you get the correct version installed you can run sysinstall and do most things.

When Host-B is source and Host-A is receiver, the Bandwidth rate value(out_bytes) retruned by the function is wrong. Even the case witout any receiver in Backbone(as Host-A), the function returns the whole bandwidth rate(in_bytes) which is taken by the source, HOST-B. I think the prune function is all right. Below is my configuration with multicast routers denoted by asterisks: ======++=====BackBOne <--in || -->out || HOST-A VIF Research Subnet HOST-B ------++---------- --------------------- || ---------- |sparc* | ethernet | freebsd 2.1 * | || |sparc | | 128.194.169.93 |-----------|169.53 166.4 |---++-------| 166.5 | | 3.8 | | 3.3 | || | | ------------------ --------------------- || ---------- Its' default gateway is freebsd How can I get correct bandwidth for the second case ? Is it possible or not to get it ? And where can I get some information for hacking the multicasting function in FreeBSD ? Any comment will be very appreciated. Thank you for your kind attention !

Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken here, but I believe that there is no such thing as "ECC RAM". ECC is a function of the motherboard, no? If your motherboard supports ECC _and_ you have parity RAM, you can use ECC.

I guess my point really was that replacing the RAM did the trick.

So after downloading the SETC.* files, I tried using /stand/sysinstall to add the package - but HOW do I do that? I tried using the Configure -> Distributions, but I can't see how you get it to add the package. A way to install the SETC.AA package, or just a login.conf file would be very appreciated.

ECC is a function of the motherboard, no? If > your motherboard supports ECC _and_ you have parity RAM, you can use ECC. No. What you need is ECC motherboard and ECC RAM. To be able to correct memeory errors you need more bits than what's available on a parity SIMM. Some ECC implementation (the one I have in mind is the AlphaServer 1000, don't know if Pentium MBs have this too) use standard RAM, but in greater quantity.

Granted, it segfaulted with annoying frequency, but it tried. My best guess, then, is that you may be right in that the output of FreeBSD's tcpdump might vary from what tcptrace wants. I may have to look into whether the output format has changed in the past few months.

Coincidently, that just happens to be the number of parity bits you'd have if you had byte parity SIMMs, so modern PC motherboards use the 8 parity bits to implement ECC and no special ECC SIMMs are required. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 14 05:47:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA19093 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 14 Jul 1997 05:47:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA19067 for ; Mon, 14 Jul 1997 05:47:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.8.5/8.6.12) id PAA24718; Mon, 14 Jul 1997 15:44:24 +0300 (IDT) X-Authentication-Warning: gatekeeper.barcode.co.il: smap set sender to using -f Received: from localhost.barcode.co.il(127.0.0.1) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il via smap (V1.3) id sma024716; Mon Jul 14 15:44:13 1997 Message-ID: <33CA1F23.1876@barcode.co.il> Date: Mon, 14 Jul 1997 15:44:19 +0300 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: dmaddox@scsn.net CC: Wes Peters - Softweyr LLC , Nick Johnson , questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: A few solutions References: <199707140404.WAA07219@xmission.xmission.com> <19970714072626.64852@scsn.net> <33CA1547.AD3@barcode.co.il> <19970714082521.61598@scsn.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Donald J.

Maybe the ECC RAM you two are speaking of > allows for more sophisticated error correction? Probably. Saying they correct 1 bit is not a complete specification of the strength of the code they use. You need to know one bit out of how many. Standard parity RAM uses one extra bit per byte, and can detect one bad bit per byte. By aggregating these extra bits from more than one byte you may be able to, say, correct one bit in 32bits or such (sorry, didn't make the calculations, I took coding theory back when I was doing my M.Sc. and I don't remember that much :-( ), but depending on the kind of errors you have, this may be better *or* worse than just parity. If you have 32bits with 4 bad bits, each in a different byte, standard parity will detect it, but this type of ECC won't. There is no such thing as a free lunch, at least not in coding.

I understand that my question is not FreeBSD specific, it is rather generic. However, there are so many unix gurus here ;-) So, if I want to replace newlines in a file with spaces, it would be natural to run such a sed script: sed "s/\n/ /g" However it does not work and it should not work, as the man page states, that the newline characters are not allowed in replacement strings. So, what should I do? And a related question: is there any good source of information on sed? Probably with examples? The thing seems to be very powerful and I wish to learn it, but the man page is too spartan.

I am using FreeBSD 2.2.2 w/ iijppp or "user PPP" and currently my ISP has two dialup rotaries. One rotary is analog and uses a login script. I managed to put together a login script and it works great and has worked for several weeks now flawlessly. I run ppp with the following switches: ppp -alias -auto phoenix Here, phoenix is the name of my ISP's entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf I also have the appropriate entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup which makes iijppp route for the 3 computers in my internal home network. However, my ISP now has available a "digital" 33.6k+ line which operates using Cisco AS5200's and the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP). This dialup line does not provide in any way a login "menu" and requires no script at all. In fact, if you dialin with a plain modem program such as Minicom you see absolutely nothing when you connect -- no "login:" and no "password:" Using Windows 95 and Windows NT's DUN/RAS I can connect to it perfectly every time and it authenticates as it is supposed to. I cannot, however get iijppp to work AT ALL with it. I've tried manually, I've tried everything. Here is my current entry for the PAP dialup in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf dialup: set line /dev/cuaa0 set speed 57600 set phone 2812287908 set timeout 1200 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 set redial 5 5 disable lqr deny lqr enable pap disable chap set authname MyUsername set authkey MyPassword set openmode active Any suggestions? Besides dialing into this ISP I also work there, so if I can get a good working entry it will be published on our web site for other users to take note of. Any help is appreciated. NOTE: I have already read all man pages and sample files related to this and tried everything in them -- otherwise I wouldn't be writing this. Also, allegedly there was a tutorial posted in February or January, however, I haven't been able to find it. If you have something that addresses this, please direct me as to where to find it, and/or forward it to me. Thank you. Michael C.

You would have to enable the following in your kernel: options IPDIVERT options IPFIREWALL and then get a NATd (network address translation daemon) package. Also don't forget to add support for both interfaces in your kernel (if you have say ed0 now, you will have to add ed1 also). Take a look at ipfw and natd man pages and /etc/rc.firewalls for examples. -- Yan P.S. - natd can be found at either www.awfulhak.org/natd or at ftp://kn6-045.ktvlpr.inet.fi/pub/natd On Mon, 14 Jul 1997, Jesse wrote: > > Heya, > > I'm probably gonna be getting a cable modem in a couple months when the > service will begin being offered in my area.

I have set up the first machine as the server, and it starts ypserv when rebooted and creates all of the neccessary maps. I then set up the other machine as a client, and I think I have it running properly, because it starts ypbind, creates a file in /var/yp/bindings named after the proper domainname, and it complains that it can't reach the nis server when that machine is rebooted, BUT: in order to test nis, I added a new user to master.passwd on the server, rebooted both machines, and then tried to log in as that user on the client machine, and wasn't able to log in. So basically I don't know if I have it working in general, but only the passwd file isn't set up right, or if I have either the client or server or both set up improperly. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this, or at least about how to test it another way to see what works and what doesn't? Also, I would like to set up the server to also be a client, but the first time I did this, the machine wasn't able to boot because it was looking for the server at startup, but there was no server running yet. Does anyone know how to fix this too?

Both happen for interactive mode > as well as batch mode. Anyway I can use it correctly? How did you `execute' it? It looks like you entered something like sh adduser on the command line. This won't work, since adduser is *not* a shell script but a perl script. At least this is what ``file /usr/sbin/adduser'' says. So just enter adduser on the command line and the perl interpreter will be called automatically by the kernel. Make sure you *have* perl installed on your system. The interpreter lives in /usr/bin/perl. To find out enter `which perl'. If this does not help, feel free to ask again.

Because I hope to check the Bandwidth taken by the IP multicastingrouter(FreeBSD box), I tried to use iotcl(Channel_descriptor, SIOCGETVIFCNT, struct *sioc_vif_req). I heard this function retruns the input and output Bandwidth. There are two cases for testing. 1. When Host-A is source and Host-B is receiver, the Bandwidth rate value returned by the function is correct. 2. When Host-B is source and Host-A is receiver, the Bandwidth rate value(out_bytes) retruned by the function is wrong. Even the case witout any receiver in Backbone(as Host-A), the function returns the whole bandwidth rate(in_bytes) which is taken by the source, HOST-B. I think the prune function is all right. Below is my configuration with multicast routers denoted by asterisks: ======++=====BackBOne <--in || -->out || HOST-A VIF Research Subnet HOST-B ------++---------- --------------------- || ---------- |sparc* | ethernet | freebsd 2.1 * | || |sparc | | 128.194.169.93 |-----------|169.53 166.4 |---++-------| 166.5 | | 3.8 | | 3.3 | || | | ------------------ --------------------- || ---------- Its' default gateway is freebsd How can I get correct bandwidth for the second case ? Is it possible or not to get it ? And where can I get some information for hacking the multicasting function in FreeBSD ? Any comment will be very appreciated. Thank you for your kind attention !

Below are my /etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/options.ttyd1 files: /etc/ppp/options: crtscts passive modem proxyarp +pap /etc/ppp/options.ttyd1: domain ecn.purdue.edu 128.46.139.212:128.46.139.213 GATEWAY=YES option in /etc/rc.conf enabled ====== CLIENT #1 - Windows NT Workstation 4.0 I can setup NT and dial into my FreeBSD box and connect to the net via PPP with no problems at all. Routing and everything seems to be okay as I can FTP, telnet, etc. CLIENT #2 - FreeBSD 2.2.2 This is where I run into a problem. I'm using iijppp to connect to my FreeBSD machine running pppd. I dial and connect, and the prompt changes from ppp to PPP, so it looks as if I have connected with PPP. Now, if I'm running "routed" on the server (NOT THE CLIENT), I see a message like "punt: RTM_ADD_GATEWAY unable to add" or something. Figuring there may be a problem, I disabled routed (I've tried gated too) on the server. Neither routed or gated are running on the client. If I have a route like: 128.46.139.213 127.0.0.1 BLAH BLAH BLAH I can ping 128.46.129.213 which makes sense. Without it, I can't ping it which also makes sense. The default route is setup to be 128.46.139.212. In addition, there is a route from 128.46.139.213 to 128.46.139.212. Everything makes since to me as far as that goes. The problem is that I cannot connect to anything outside of my machine. I try pinging 128.46.139.212 and no response. In addition, I try pinging a server such as 128.46.139.7 (a server where I work which I know is up) and also get no response. Below are my ppp.conf and ppp.linkup files. I really have no idea what's going on and have spent quite a few hours on this one.

What about a comparison between the two? What are differences? Advantages and disadvantages of each? I may not like Win95 but I see the advantage to some (simplistic interface, broad application base).

Hi, I have just received the FreeBSD CDROM by mail delivery, and tring to install it. The problem is, that I have an old i486 CPU on 486 VLB motherboard and a 2.1GB hard drive. Whenever I try to install the FreeBSD (I do it with novice install as I am not an expert, yet), it seems that everything is going quite OK and at the end the system reboots itself. After reboot the system is halted and this is the message I get: Boot: dosdev=80, biosdrive=0, unit=0, maj=0 Error:C:1027 > 1023 (BIOS limit) My guess was that it is caused because the motherboard doesn't recognise this size of hard drives. So, I've re-partitioned the drive to several 480MB slices, but still it doesn't help. Does any of you have any idea was is the cause and the cure to this problem ?

First of all, I had a conflict between my PS2 mouse driver and my SysCons Console driver in kernel, and I very stupidly chose do disable the console driver. Now it turns out that they probably could have both worked together, but oh well. NEway, either the comp. is freezing or it is not outputing to the screen after it starts to load the kernel.

I figured if I could load the fixit floppy and mount the HD, I could copy the kernel from the boot floppy to the HD, and not have to re-install, but for some reason I can't mount the HD. If I understand this correctly, however, the HD controller is //dev/wdc0, the HD is //dev/wd0, and the FreeBSD partition is //dev/wd0s2, with wd0s2a, wd0s2b, wd0s2c, and wd0s2d being sub-partitions of the /usr, /var, swap, and root file systems. Unfortunately, all that is in the Fixit Floppy's //dev/ directory is wd0s2, which is says is unmountable it says. Now I'm really stuck, and I need help.

As I mentioned earlier, I believe the following are advantages to FreeBSD. Of course this is skewed, what do I gain advocating Linux when I love FreeBSD so much? :-) Any case, here's my short list: 1. One tightly integrated distribution. Linux has >10, with their own tool and library sets. It's a support headache! You say "I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.2" and I know exactly what you're talking about since I can walk over to my source tree and checkout the code compiled for 2.2.2 and see what you're seeing. 2. Excellent TCP/IP Networking. BSD is the reference implementation for TCP/IP networking. It works and works *well*, reference ftp.cdrom.com. I tried to configure a Linux RedHat box for networking and it was a pain; it didn't bother to add a net route to facilitate any future routes. Yuck! 3. One-stop program shopping. The ports and packages trees put over 1,000 programs one command away. They've already been ported and wired for FreeBSD, all I have to do is download the port and build them. 4. Multicast IP. I can watch NASA programming, international technology and science conferences, and chat with others with audio _and_ video, transmit _and_ receive. I don't think any implementation of Linux supports multicast, in a stable, modern form. 5. High performance virtual memory system. The VM system in BSD is the result of years of research and developent. It is implemented in an intelligent fashion with usability in mind -- the computer can be working hard on jobs while still retaining interactive response. The system is equipped to handle the large load of today's large file and network servers with ease. I'll give Linux the programmer following, which ends up with better support in terms in drivers for all sorts of kooky devices. Of couse, which kernel version do I need to get such-and-such driver working? :-) FreeBSDers call it the 'kernel-of-the-week club.' Luckily, FreeBSD doesn't change that fast. That's my take. I suggest searching the mail archives of the questions list at http://www.freebsd.org under Search for other people's past responses. I have some good ones archived up if you want to see them. Hope this helps.

Many older PC BIOSs can't boot anything that exceeds 1024 cylinders, approxmiately 500mb. The entire root partition must land within this 500mb limit. After that, things can be anywhere. There are a few ways to rememdy this: 1. Move your FreeBSD slice forward in the drive. If you have DOS on this disk, make an extended partition at the end of the disk and put your data there, since you won't need to be booting that. Make a small primary partition to hold the OS. Put your FreeBSD slice in the middle and you should be okay. 2. If you can figure out how to do it, you can make two FreeBSD slices, one below the limit which holds root and the rest which holds the rest of the system data. This requires some manual tweaking and I'm not sure how to do it using sysinstall. > So, I've re-partitioned the drive to several 480MB slices, but still it > doesn't help. If I could see a map of your drive, I could get a better idea of how far you're off.

When/if you start using Linux you'll discover that keeping everything working is such a pain because the pieces all come from different places and each version of each component has trouble fitting together with other components in various ways. With the FreeBSD development group producing a single release, it allows us to produce a system where all of the pieces fit together without various compatibility problems. Further, FreeBSD's extensive collection of pre-ported software makes setting up and using the system vastly easier than its competition. FreeBSD has generally been targeted toward larger server systems while Linux has been more targeted toward the workstation user. Either system can be used for either purpose, of course, but FreeBSD's stength is clearly in networking and file server applications. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 14 22:59:11 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA07706 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 14 Jul 1997 22:59:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from atlantis.nconnect.net (root@atlantis.nconnect.net [207.227.50.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA07701 for ; Mon, 14 Jul 1997 22:59:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from arabian (dial173.nconnect.net [207.227.50.173]) by atlantis.nconnect.net (8.8.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA06567; Tue, 15 Jul 1997 00:47:09 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <33CB116C.4639AB24@nconnect.net> Date: Tue, 15 Jul 1997 00:58:04 -0500 From: Randy DuCharme X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [en] (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Sam Carter CC: Doug White , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD vs. Linux X-Priority: 3 (Normal) References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Sam Carter wrote: > > On Mon, 14 Jul 1997, Doug White wrote: > > > On Mon, 14 Jul 1997, Sam Carter wrote: > > > > > I have an x86 box running Win95 and I want to dual boot into a Unix > > > flavor.

Personally, I find FreeBSD *far* more stable and reliable than most of the Linux installations I've messed with. It's also 'BSD' from a system administration standpoint, unlike Linux, which seems like a strange blend of SysV and BSD. ( to me anyway ) It would seem that there is more software available for Linux than FreeBSD yet most of the 'Linux' programs I've run, ran fine under FreeBSD's Linux emulation. Some feel that Linux may be more suited to the desktop and FreeBSD, more suited to server-duty, yet I use FreeBSD almost exclusively for both. Linux is also available to run on different hardware platforms where FreeBSD currently runs ONLY on the Intel platform. This question has been asked hundreds of times.

Did you add '+' entries in the client's passwd file (by using vipw, of course)? If not, see the man page for passwd for more details on the format.

I got the sources over there, but I'm having problems with the build. I already re-installed the includes, install, and make. The problem is that a "make world" will abort with a coredump from cc1 before it completes. Right now, I'm getting them in lib-tools. I suspect a memory parity problem, but I don't think the customer is going to install parity memory on the box. Since a "make world" just won't complete without problems, is there any other way I can go? If I just "make all" until everything is done, and then "make install" is there a decent chance I'll be OK? How about (virtual) "make all install clean all install"? I suspect I'll also need to rebuild a kernel before I reboot, too. I won't bitch about the current "make" system because I don't have anything better to suggest right now.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have OpenBSD installed on one of my pc's and I downloaded your ports.tar.gz file. I like the work you have put into the project.... it is very commendable. I do have a problem though... I am using OpenBSD as I said..... for a lot of reasons that may seem silly.... but... 1) I am trying to compile an eggdrop bot for use on an undernet channel 2) The shell account runs OpenBSD so I thought I'd obtain a copy of OpenBSD (so I would be running the same o/s locally) 3) The purpose is to compile the binary in OpenBSD format and upload the finished version to my shell account. So thats why it's OpenBSD... anyway... down to the question. When I installed ports.tar.gz and tried to compile tcl7.6 using your ports mechanism, I cant get any further than unpacking the tar file... then I get a message which says: '/root/ports/lang/tcl76/work/tcl7.6: not found' (everything inside the quotes ( ' ) is the EXACT message) The problem is that the directory referred to IS IN the place specified by the error message.... (unless I am misinterpreting the colon (:) before 'not found') I used the port mechanism to successfully setup bash for my system, so I assumed it would with with tcl as well. btw... I disabled bash because I thought it may have been a 'shell specific error' I was receiving.... but there is no difference no matter if bash is my shell ... or the defauld OpenBSD shell which is 'sh'. The only other option that would come to mind is if FreeBSD use
