However, the easiest thing to do in such a case is leave the root partition on the first disk. If you'll install all of FreeBSD on the second disk, you'll probably need to rebuild the kernel and/or boot with something like: 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the boot: prompt.

I have a 2.1GB hard drive, master on primary IDE, whole thing is win95. I have a 1GB hard drive, slave on primary IDE, ~500mg FreeBSD and ~500mg Red Hat Linux. The cdrom is master on second IDE. Installed Booteasy on 2.1GB hard drive. When the machine boots, booteasy comes up with something like: F1 Dos F5 Other Disk F1 loads win95. F5 presents: F1 FreeBSD F2 Linux F5 Other Disk F1 loads FreeBSD, F2 starts LILO, and F5 returns to the previous menu I can't remember the exact order that I installed everything, although I do know that win95 was first.

I got several error messages like this when compiling my xview program: ... undefined symbol '_cfree' referenced from text segment ...

In my program, I could change cfree() function with another similar function, free(), which releases the memory allocated by calloc() function. But the last thing left is, the same error happened because the cfree() funtion is referenced from xview library (libXview.so.3.2). I couldn't work it off because the lack of the source code.

Current setup created with MSDOS' FDISK is: Primary : 600M Extended 620M Extended is currently divided up into Logical D: 150M Logical E: 150M Last 320Meg is undefined Which should leave approximately 320M free of my extended to create a =46reeBSD swap of about 20M and the rest for a FreeBSD filesystem.

For dos/win you would boot into dos and use the following FDISK /MBR do this on all of your drives (I think..) this will write a new clean master boot record to the HD. I think you have installed booteasy on a drive which already has it installed which has bitten me before.

However, I have run into a few problems with 2.1R and 2.1.5R with the new parts. The following are the configurations of the system: Asus P6NP5 motherboard (on-board IDE controller, I/O) Intel Pentium Pro 200 32MB EDO RAM (non-parity) 1.44M FDD Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI-2 controller Generic S3 Trio64 chipset PCI VGA card Micropolis 2217 and 4421 SCSI-2 HDD, Conner (540MB) IDE HDD SMC Elite16 combo Ethernet card 1) When I try to install 2.1.5R onto the new 4421 drive, I keep getting wrong geometry message, and at end of installation. Well, the installtion process itself is not quite a successful one as my August release CD-ROM for 2.1.5R has got a few dists with corrupted tgz files, including the base, ie the bin.?? ones. What I had to do was actually mount the live filesystem and manually copy those missing/corrupted files over to the filesystem afterwards. My questions are: 1) I bought the CD-ROM about more than 1 month ago, and this is the first time I used it, and I wonder if WC's warranty valids for that long ? 2) I bought the new 4421 disk just for FreeBSD, and as a result, I do not want to install a small FAT partition at the beginning of the disk and then later install FreeBSD on the rest of the disk. I wonder if anyone has the correct geometry information for this particular model, ie Micropolis 4421. 3) The other strange thing is that, when I have another Micropolis SCSI-2 drive (model 2217) chained to the SCSI bus, the boot-up messages reveals that, my 4421 is having the following geometry (4049/7/147 for C/H/S). I then use them as the geometry info in the partitioning manual during installation, but still get the same message saying incorrect geometry. Why ? 2) I used to have an SMC Elite16 combo card running well with an old ISA board. Now that I put the same card onto the new P6NP5, I keep getting messages saying "failed to clear shared memory 0xcc000, check configuration". The fact is that there is absolutely no other card on the board occupying that same mem address space. And I have verified that by pulling the card out, plug it into a DOS box, running SMC diagnose program, and make many changes to many different parameters, such as IRQ, RAM base addrss, base i/o. However, no matter what RAM base address I changes to, the next time I boot it up with FreeBSD, I got the above message complaining the new address. Can someone please kindly tell me what is going on, and if there is a solution to it. ANd finally, many thanks if you can kindly reply to the mail if you do have any clues to my problems. I do not have access to FreeBSD newsgroups with my current ISP now, 8-((. If someone know of any public NNTP server that carries FreeBSD groups, please kindly let me know too. Does freebsd.org have any intention of doing so ?

About 2 months ago, we suddenly started getting complaints about not being able to connect(win95:Could not negotiate compat. set of prots). Checking the logs, we were getting "timeout sending Config requests" from pppd. Further research revealed that the line speed was apparently changing. Instead of ! }!}!}!}... pppd was giving garbage as if the DTE speed was set wrong. This happened about half the time a machine called in. We figured at the time we had some modems frying on us(it's happened before). We checked all our settings on the modems, cycled the power, and the problem appeared to go away. Well, this lasted about 3 weeks. Then the problem came back. Owing to the relatively new cyclades driver(and some other problems apparently related to VM) we upgraded to 2.1.6(we were running both 2.1 and 2.1.5). The problem has not resolved. Can anybody point to a possible problem here? Modem settings: &D3s0=1 and locked at 57600. BSD settings: crtscts 57600(we also used to have -clocal and cs8 We're running two ISA 16 port Cyclades boards.

The problem is mostly from NON-Unix based boxes (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 31, DOS packet stack) trying to go to a BSD based system. In the interests of diagnosis we've tried tests in several ways. From Windows to BSD - Bad From Linux to BSD - Works From BSD to BSD - Works From Win95 to BSD - Bad From WinNT to BSD - Bad We've tried it with several different Systems, and networking techniques (Slip/Ethernet/Different Cards/PPP) and the results are consistant. Here's the problem. Whenever a machine tries to pull large packets from the BSD box (MTU > 1024) it dies. Those same clients can go to Linux, SunOS and any other OS other than BSD and work just fine. Generally the other operating systems will downsize the MTU to a working level. At the end of this message I will include tcpdumps of working and non-working connections. Also will include a sysctl dump of one of the systems in question. I've tried playing with the sysctl values that have to do with networking, but to no avail. All the systems which can not talk to the BSD systems can easily talk to any other OS without problem. The problem is on our Web servers we have BSD (freebsd) and although I love the OS, I can't have it not work with some clients. I'de like to stay with BSD but if I can not get it to work, I will need to switch to another OS. If anyone has had similar problems or knows of a bug fix, or even has an idea what the problem may be please email me. The results are verifyable. We have several BSD machines and its the same with all of them. The software packages that have been tried on the clients (that do not work are) PC/TCP, Trumpet, Win95 32 bit stack, Trump32, and Netmanage. All with the same results. tcpdump of a BAD session with a BSD system: 17:59:35.405378 sys2.2222 > sys1.http: S 103427840:103427840(0) win 2048 (ttl 255, id 415) 17:59:35.406051 sys1.http > sys2.2222: S 3781998081:3781998081(0) ack 103427841 win 17520 (DF) (ttl 250, id 24112) 17:59:35.406952 sys2.2222 > sys1.http: . ack 1 win 2048 (ttl 255, id 416) 17:59:35.420935 sys2.2222 > sys1.http: P 1:284(283) ack 1 win 2048 (DF) (ttl 255, id 417) 17:59:35.426181 sys1.http > sys2.2222: P 1:257(256) ack 284 win 17520 (DF) (ttl 250, id 24113) 17:59:35.429415 sys1.http > sys2.2222: . 257:1717(1460) ack 284 win 17520 (DF) (ttl 250, id 24114) 17:59:35.648940 sys2.2222 > sys1.http: . ack 257 win 1792 (ttl 255, id 418) 17:59:36.831627 sys1.http > sys2.2222: . 257:1717(1460) ack 284 win 17520 (DF) (ttl 250, id 24121) 17:59:39.830035 sys1.http > sys2.2222: . 257:1717(1460) ack 284 win 17520 (DF) (ttl 250, id 24122) TCPDUMP of a good session from the same client (sys2) with a Linux system (sys3): 18:00:47.323907 sys2.1111 > sys3.http: S 138686464:138686464(0) win 2048 (ttl 255, id 422) 18:00:47.324715 sys3.http > sys2.1111: S 1140847812:1140847812(0) ack 138686465 win 14335 (ttl 64, id 31299) 18:00:47.325478 sys2.1111 > sys3.http: . ack 1 win 2048 (ttl 255, id 423) 18:00:47.340212 sys2.1111 > sys3.http: P 1:301(300) ack 1 win 2048 (ttl 255, id 424) 18:00:47.341061 sys3.http > sys2.1111: . ack 301 win 14114 (ttl 64, id 31301) 18:00:47.564598 sys3.http > sys2.1111: P 1:320(319) ack 301 win 14335 (ttl 64, id 31307) 18:00:47.567620 sys3.http > sys2.1111: F 320:320(0) ack 301 win 14335 (ttl 64, id 31308) 18:00:47.568328 sys2.1111 > sys3.http: . ack 321 win 1729 (ttl 255, id 425) 18:00:47.571407 sys2.1111 > sys3.http: F 301:301(0) ack 321 win 1729 (ttl 255, id 426) 18:00:47.572211 sys3.http > sys2.1111: . ack 302 win 14334 (ttl 64, id 31309) SYSCTL from one of the BSD systems (sys1): kern.osrelease = 2.1.5-RELEASE kern.osrevision = 199306 kern.version = FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 23 17:09:58 EST 1996 kern.maxvnodes = 2257 kern.maxproc = 500 kern.maxfiles = 1000 kern.argmax = 65536 kern.securelevel = -1 kern.hostid = 0 kern.clockrate: hz = 100, tick = 10000, profhz = 1024, stathz = 128 kern.posix1version = 198808 kern.ngroups = 16 kern.job_control = 1 kern.saved_ids = 1 kern.boottime = Sun Nov 24 15:01:03 1996 kern.domainname = mpcs.com kern.update = 30 kern.osreldate = 199607 kern.bootfile = /kernel kern.maxfilesperproc = 1000 kern.maxprocperuid = 499 kern.dumpdev = disabled kern.somaxconn = 128 kern.maxsockbuf = 262144 kern.ps_strings = -272637968 kern.usrstack = -272637952 kern.sockbuf_waste_factor = 8 vm.loadavg: 0.00 0.00 0.00 net.inet.ip.forwarding = 0 net.inet.ip.redirect = 1 net.inet.ip.ttl = 250 net.inet.ip.rtexpire = 93 net.inet.ip.rtminexpire = 10 net.inet.ip.rtmaxcache = 128 net.inet.ip.sourceroute = 0 net.inet.icmp.maskrepl = 0 net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 = 0 net.inet.tcp.rfc1644 = 0 net.inet.tcp.mssdflt = 512 net.inet.tcp.rttdflt = 15 net.inet.tcp.keepidle = 14400 net.inet.tcp.keepintvl = 150 net.inet.tcp.sendspace = 16384 net.inet.tcp.recvspace = 16384 net.inet.udp.checksum = 1 net.inet.udp.maxdgram = 9216 net.inet.udp.recvspace = 41600 hw.machine = i386 hw.model = i486DX hw.ncpu = 1 hw.byteorder = 1234 hw.physmem = 32014336 hw.usermem = 26832896 hw.pagesize = 4096 hw.floatingpoint = 1 machdep.console_device = ?? machdep.adjkerntz = 18000 machdep.disable_rtc_set = 0 user.cs_path = /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin: user.bc_base_max = 99 user.bc_dim_max = 2048 user.bc_scale_max = 99 user.bc_string_max = 1000 user.coll_weights_max = 0 user.expr_nest_max = 32 user.line_max = 2048 user.re_dup_max = 255 user.posix2_version = 199212 user.posix2_c_bind = 0 user.posix2_c_dev = 0 user.posix2_char_term = 0 user.posix2_fort_dev = 0 user.posix2_fort_run = 0 user.posix2_localedef = 0 user.posix2_sw_dev = 0 user.posix2_upe = 0 user.stream_max = 20 user.tzname_max = 255 - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Rob Taylor - Owner MPC Systems VOICE: (407) 727-9022 - ----------------------------------------+ FAX: (407) 727-9022 Is all that we see or seem... | EMAIL: rtaylor@mpcs.com ...but a dream within a dream?

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.

The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. If you have this book, please check this list. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Last change: 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.

It offers an mss of 1460, but a window of only 2048? This would prevent any streaming (you want the maximum window be at least twice the mss). I think this is interacting badly with FreeBSD's Path MTU Discovery, but in any case, the above traces clearly indicate that the problem is either on the client side or somewhere in-between. If the clients are connecting via SLIP/PPP (which you suggest), then you may wish to verify proper hardware flow control operation on the serial lines. If this wasn't working then large packets would tend to be dropped just like you are seeing above. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 1 17:39:00 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA11915 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 1 Dec 1996 17:39:00 -0800 (PST) Received: from central.picker.com (central.picker.com [144.54.31.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA11910 for ; Sun, 1 Dec 1996 17:38:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from ct.picker.com by central.picker.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #3) id m0vUNJH-0004ruC; Sun, 1 Dec 96 20:36 EST Received: from elmer.ct.picker.com ([144.54.57.34]) by ct.picker.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA18775; Sun, 1 Dec 96 20:33:54 EST Received: by elmer.ct.picker.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id UAA14788; Sun, 1 Dec 1996 20:33:08 -0500 Message-Id: Date: Sun, 1 Dec 1996 20:33:08 -0500 From: rhh@ct.picker.com (Randall Hopper) To: darrylb@blinx.lizard.org (Darryl Bowler) Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Password and Telnet References: <199611281301.NAA20368@blinx.lizard.org> X-Mailer: Mutt 0.53 Mime-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <199611281301.NAA20368@blinx.lizard.org>; from Darryl Bowler on Nov 28, 1996 13:01:52 +0000 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Darryl Bowler: |This may sound like a dumb question to ask, but... | |At work I have lots of devices that I want to log into but only can via |telnet.

However, in many cases, the CD ROM is only recognized as the slave on the secondary controller. You may want to try that if you have problems with your current configuration. There are a couple of jumpers you need to set on your drives to change their master/slave roles but other than that it's pretty simple.

Glad you're still interested in helping with this. I haven't had time, recently, to do anything with the vfatfs; but I'll be taking a break from work in a few weeks, partly in order to get this out.

There's more than F1 and F2; if you just get a login prompt, it's another virtual terminal.

Yes, this is a common one.

At my office, this works, but at home, > although the initial resolution is fine, the two alternate ones don't work. This is probably not the way you should want to approach the problem. I would suggest that you keep the highest resolution possible, and change the font sizes or whatever. By lowering the resolution, you do just that: you get a bigger picture from the same image, but the resolution isn't as high, so you don't really gain anything. > Alternate one gives about 4 horizontal regions that scroll slowly > vertically.

This is one example of your monitor not syncing with your display card.

There's some stuff about display tuning in "The Complete FreeBSD", chapter 8, starting on page 112. The important thing is to know the capabilities of your monitor. The important thing is *not* the "resolution" or the "display frequency", which is how people sell monitors. It's the maximum horizontal frequency. If you don't know that, you could be in trouble: you can find a way to get it to work by gradually raising the horizontal frequency until the monitor no longer syncs, but the chances are that this will result in settings out of spec, and there's no way to know where you leave the specs. Take a look at the monitor database in /usr/X11/lib/X11/doc/Monitors--maybe you'll find your monitor or something like it. > I have looked at the FreeBSD handbook for quite a while, but I can't > yet understand anything there about starting up to dial my modem and > establish a PPP connection.

It seems to work very well. The full blown version is $1500 (a bit steep I think but it does save a LOT of time). The demo version is fully functional except for the number of users it supports. The 16 bit demo version is locked at no more than 300 users, the 32 bit demo is locked at 10. The first registration level ($1500) goes to 1000 users, higher levels are available. If you're small and want to grow into it, you can buy a support contract for the demo version for $500, which is credited to a later purchase of the registered one. The registered version includes the support contract. It has a few idiosyncracies. The billing plans are not as granular as it would seem at first. The statement detail is a bit confusing as well. On the other hand, their tech support is absolutely top notch and they have demonstrated a strong willingness to incorporate user suggestions for enhancements. On the whole, I wouldn't do business without it. J.

I have the next problem: 1) We have a local TCP/IP lan, with FBSD 2.1.5, and Linux, NT, W95, SCO, etc. In this local lan, we use DNS. For historical reason, we have two gateways: one UUCP gateway (we get and send our mail there), and a dial-up SLIP line to the Internet (used very rarely). I need to configure sendmail to route any messages (with such address as freebsd-question@freebsd.org) to the UUCP gateway, but the messages to x@foo.bar.com (or maybe x@bar.com) deliver locally, put it into the local mailboxes of the users on the FBSD machine. (These messages may be from the local net, maybe from the world.) 2) As I know, there is a way (but I don't know, how) to tell sendmail, that every outgoing mail has a header: user@mailhost.foo.bar.com. But how can I do it, and how can I do that header: Real.User.Name@mailhost.foo.bar.com (or Real_User_Name@...)? Can You help me?

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello good people, I have FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE and Windows 95 on my system. I have been experiencing some crashes in Win95 that CrashSheild of WinProbe caught with increasing frequency. I had been downloading some software from the net and thought maybe a virus had slipped down the line. On my old computer, I used InVircible v6.01C. It was released before Win95 so I when to the net to get an update at http://invircible.com/. The new version 6.12C was only available as a detector of viruses. I ran it, and it says that I have a B1 type virus (boot sector) and that my partition table had also been affected. Knowing what BootMgr does, I wondered if InVircible was just detecting BootMgr? McAfee Viruscan doesn't find anything, but on the InVircible web site they had a published paper written by a COMPAQ engineer that Anti-Virus software like Viruscan do a poor job of finding viruses they don't have data on. If someone else could verify that InVircible detects BootMgr as a virus, then a could rule out viruses as causes to my problem. I would appreciate the assistance of all who would take time out to help me.

This is a PnP card, I believe you said, so you may want to look at upgrading the sound driver. You'll have to run a decently current -CURRENT to do it though. Try asking about that on multimedia@freebsd.org, where our sound gurus hang out. I believe there is a driver for the SB's that is PnP aware. Sorry I missed that on the first pass.

If you're getting 'No Operating System' then you're one step away. In those cases, use a DOS boot floppy and reset one of the partitions on your first disk to 'active'. Then all should be well. In the other two cases, you need to be more specific as to what happens.

I believe, and someone please correct me, that this means that the talk daemon is not running on your machine.

You're OK, I think. I'd make sure you can ping and telnet to yourself while you're online, just to make sure talk is connecting properly.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk If someone could tell me if this is possible, and if so, where to start, I'd appreciate it. My problem is that my ISP has a customer for whom they queue email until the customer dials in and connects. The ISP uses dynamic IP assignment, and with a hack, changes the routing for X.COM to the IP# that they get assigned when they connect. At this point, all email destined for X.COM is routed directly to their machine's sendmail daemon. Unfortunately, when they disconnect, the routing of X.COM to the IP# is sometimes not reset. If I dial in and happen to get the IP# that X.COM had, then suddenly my FreeBSD system gets all the email that has been queued for X.COM! My system then tries to forward the mail, but since the address lookup for X.COM results in the IP# that I currently have, I get a sendmail error "mail loops back to myself". At this point, my system returns the mail to the sender. The load put on the system by this activity is excessive, not to mention the confusion that probably results to the senders. I would like to reject any mail destined for X.COM. I have seen solutions that block connections *from* certain domains, but I don't want to block my ISP of course. So, is it possible to block email *to* X.COM before the email gets dumped to my machine? (My ISP knows about the problem, but they haven't come up with a solution.) BTW, I'm running the latest sendmail 8.8.3 Thanks, Dave Bodenstab imdave@synet.net From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 2 12:15:53 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA10182 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Dec 1996 12:15:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from usa.nai.net (usa.nai.net [204.71.21.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA10175 for ; Mon, 2 Dec 1996 12:15:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from micro4.nai.net (micro4.nai.net [208.133.174.12]) by usa.nai.net (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id PAA06272 for ; Mon, 2 Dec 1996 15:15:30 -0500 Received: by micro4.nai.net with Microsoft Mail id <01BBE063.75F671D0@micro4.nai.net>; Mon, 2 Dec 1996 15:14:06 -0500 Message-ID: <01BBE063.75F671D0@micro4.nai.net> From: "Michael A.

See the file ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.6-RELEASE/INSTALL.TXT for installation instructions. You'll need to download floppies/boot.flp, tools/rawrite.exe, bin/, and any other distributions you'll want. Optionally, you can do an FTP install; then you'll just need rawrite and boot.flp.

You might check Control Panels -> System -> Performance and see what Win95 has to say. AFAIK I've never heard of any Win95 problems with BootEasy. If you're really worried then use the DOS command FDISK /MBR to remove BootEasy, then use a DOS 6.2 floppy and reinstall BootEasy (take tools/bootinst.exe and boot.bin off the CD onto the hard disk, then run it from there). Check your boot floppy before you use it in case there is something running around -- you wouln't want to immediately reinfect the system.

First, this is not BSDi or BSD/OS support, this is FreeBSD support. Second, all current versions of FreeBSD (2.1.6 and later) support the Adaptec 2940UW. 2.1-RELEASE did not contain support for the 2940UW. Hope this helps.

First of all, PCI devices are by definition "Plug and Play", in that they automatically determine their IRQ and port address. You can control the IRQ from the BIOS setup, but that is not the concern here. To get your PCI card working: 1. Either rebuild your kernel reconfiguring ed0 with the proper settings, or use the command line UserConfig to set it up. visual limits the ports too low. 2. I believe newer versions of FreeBSD (2.1..6?; 2.2)'s ed0 driver will properly pick up PCI NE2000 cards. I'm not sure offhand. Hope this helps.

Yes. You need to either A shrink your win95 partition with FIPS (at freebsd site) or with the commercial package Partition Magic (WONDERFUL!!!!) B fdisk and repartition your HD fron scratch. Freebsd cannot run off of a dos (FAT) partition so it needs its own. > if yes could ya tell me how to do this and in the freebsd install it asks > where i'm installing from (Cd, disks, etc.) which do i choose? i only have if you have an internet connection (ppp,lan) you can install from there by selection FTP install and installing over the internet. otherwise if you have a cdrom and freebsd likes it (some ATAPI (IDE) cdroms are hated.. :( ) you can buy FreeBSD on CDROM from Walnut Creek. I think it runs about 20-25 + shipping which is very reasonable compared to the $90 Win95. Plus the best support I have ever gotten was off the FreeBSD mailing lists. It is very nice and comes with a book on how to install and run freebsd. (I recommend this highly!!!!) > the boot disk that's on your page...please get back to me...thnx The best thing I can tell you to do is to download the manual and read it or read it online. www.freebsd.org.

If you have unpartitioned space on your hard disks, then you can simply install FreeBSD there. Just read the installation instruction on www.freebsd.org and follow the instructions. If you don't have free space you may want to look in the fips utility that comes with FreeBSD, or at the comercial software package ParitionMagic (http://www.powerquest.com). Both let you shrink a FAT partition to create unpartitioned space. If your disks are (E)IDE then there are some other points to consider: 1. Most machines would require the root partition to go below the 504MB mark on the disk. This is not a major problem because the root partition can be fairly small (~20MB will suffice for most installations). 2. If you have an ATAPI (IDE) CDROM you may have to move it around to get it to work. The configuration that works best *most* of the time is: Primary Controller: HDD as Master, CD as Slave Secondary Controller: Second HD If you have that configuration you may find it easier to install at least the root partition on the first HD. It can be installed on the second disk, but it will require something like 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the boot prompt and/or a kernel rebuild.

I have a router (Ascend 50) connedted by ISDN to the local ISP. Over this is piped the college traffic. The network works fine, and is rock solid. It operates on its own C class network. Now, I ran up FreeBSD on a small PC, just to fiddle about, and installed it as a different C class. One of our valid networks, so there is no problem there. It is connected to the network that carries the traffic for the rest of the net out through the router. ............existing network, works fine.... ........internet...[router]../\ \.........the temporary box, different C class. So, when I start up the baby freebsd, it returns the error message at the network startup, IP Address already in use by 00:xx.xx.xx.xx (ether card number). The number returned is that of the router !!!! It's telling me that the router is using the baby-pc's ip address, when of course it isn't. It's using its own, and an entirely different C class at that. Naturally it then doesn't want to do much. hmmm. I know there are all sorts of reasons why I can't actually do this, but why is the Ascend-50 telling me it is using the pc's IP? Does anyone have any ideas I can use. thanks Bob -- The China House.

Sending a KILL signal to pppd is NOT a good idea. This signal is not catchable and thus pppd exits abruptly. I hasn't got a chance to do any cleanup, and that might be the cause for your trouble (route flush should not be required if pppd exited cleanly nevertheless). I suggest replacing the "kill -9" by "kill -INT" or "kill -2". The pppd daemon will catch that signal and exit cleanly. _Alain_ -- Alain FAUCONNET Ingenieur systeme - System Manager AP-HP/SIM Public Health 91 bld de l'Hopital 75013 PARIS FRANCE Medical Computing Research Labs Mail: af@biomath.jussieu.fr Tel: (+33) (0)1-40-77-96-19 Fax: (+33) (0)1-45-86-80-68 I've RTFMed.

I think you have to patch mail.local so that it runs with the users' UID to let quotas be enforced. This might be around line 262 of mail.local.c I posted this same time ago but did not get any reply. Perhaps the fix was not this simple. Still I believe that it would be a desirable feature to avoid that a user's mailbox could exceed the quota.

As long as the same devices are present, there should be no problem. That is to say is that if you had IDE drives in one machine and SCSI in the new machine you need to be sure that the SCSI controller is in the new kernel. Otherwise it should cross over OK.

Couple of potential gotchas: 1. At one point, some ThinkPads were having trouble with the system console such that the keyboard wouldn't work. I don't know if this afflicts the boot floppy or not. When you rebuild the kernel you can add an option to enable special handling of the ThinkPad keyboard. I don't have specifics on this, sorry, you'd have to try it and see if it's a problem. 2. FreeBSD's installer expects the CDROM to be in the machine at boot time. If this is a floppy-or-CDROM situation you won't be able to load from CDROM since you must start up from a floppy. The next best would be a network install from a local machine or from ftp.freebsd.org.

FreeBSD requires totally unallocated space. It creates its own slice and it's filesystem is not compatible with FAT. Thus, you'll have to shrink your extended partition so that the final 320mb of undefined space in the extended partition is totally unallocated. > Current setup created with MSDOS' FDISK is: > Primary : 600M > Extended 620M > Extended is currently divided up into > Logical D: 150M > Logical E: 150M > Last 320Meg is undefined 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 Tue Dec 3 12:12:08 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA08658 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Dec 1996 12:12:08 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA08652 for ; Tue, 3 Dec 1996 12:12:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.3/8.6.12) with SMTP id MAA04322; Tue, 3 Dec 1996 12:14:20 -0800 (PST) Date: Tue, 3 Dec 1996 12:14:19 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Oystein Soreide cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: gcc upgrading 2.6.3 to 2.7.2 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 Tue, 3 Dec 1996, Oystein Soreide wrote: > I have v 2.1.5 of FreeBSD and wonder if it is safe to upgrade from > gcc 2.6.3 to gcc 2.7.2 as the system compiler.Because I don't want to > make an unsecure kernal compilation. :-\ FreeBSD has made extensive modifications to gcc and thus cannot be 'drop-in' upgraded. You must upgrade the entire system, which isn't very difficult. I don't know if 2.1.6-RELEASE has it, but 2.2-ALPHA certainly does.

All other commands give a beep and a message. You must run the fdisk editor before the disklabel editor. Make sure you enter the fdisk editor and add freebsd partition space on that disk before disklabeling. Use the 'novice' installation option to help you.

Other disks are probably extended partitions which FreeBSD doesn't recognize. 2. Put the bin/ distribution in c:\freebsd\bin. Don't forget the .inf file, install.sh, and checksum.md5. Put the manpages in \freebsd\manpages, along with it's inf file and so on. Do this for all the distributions you wish to install (you don't need all of them). > PS.

I've been noticing over the past few months that the receive speed on my dedicated 28.8 PPP line has been less than stellar. For example, when ftping a pre-compressed file from my ISP (1 hop), I get a maximum of 2.14 kb/sec throughput, with an average of about 1.94 kb/sec. I've talked to my ISP about it several times but they're sure it's not happening at their end. All that they've been able to determine is that I'm registering lots of incoming packet errors at the terminal server (which I can verify -- see below), that my connection speed seems to retrain down to ~24.4 alot, and that no other subscribers have mentioned low transfer speeds as being a problem. Here is the edited output of a 'netstat -i' command issued 3 times at 10 second intervals while the system was under heavy network load (for a 28.8 connection). Notice that at each snapshot, the number of incomming packet errors has increased.

My question: How do I find the cause of this and fix it? Is it even a fair assumption that this is the root of my problems? I've tried watching packet dumps, switching modems, futzing with modem settings, etc. The interesting thing is that I get *great* throughput on the transmit channel. It's only the receive channel that sucks. Another interesting item is that I had to set tcp_extensions=NO in /etc/sysconfig or I'd get long pauses in the data stream. The fact that I'm retraining down in speed tells me that it may be line noise, but I don't know how to be sure. The fact that I have to set tcp_extensions=NO tells me that it's my ISP's equipment that's causing the problem, but I have no way of proving that either -- shy of switching ISP's (which get's expensive with dedicated connections). Are there any PPP and/or serial line guru's out there that may have an idea how to track down and solve this problem? Any help is appreciated.

It's using its own, and an entirely different C class at that. Well, if it is *only* on the "entirely different C class", then it cannot possibly talk to your FreeBSD machine, and your FreeBSD machine could not talk to it. What is most likely happening is that your Ascend 50 has an "alias" on *your* class C network assigned to it's ethernet interface and you just *happened* to pick the same address. Pick a different IP address in the same class C network and try again.

I had that problem some time > back. The noisy line could account for the retrain but probably not for the input errors. Nearly all modern modems do error correction, which means that data arrive slower to your machine if the line is noisy, but they are supposed to arrive undamaged. I would carefully check input flow control i.e. can your computer throttle data coming from the modem ? (check modem settings for CTS/RTS flow control, check tty setting and PPP options for hardware flow control too). Now if the server of your ISP spits out data at 38.4k to a modem that can't accept it at that rate due to poor phone line quality, then I hope that their DTE-modem output flow control does work either... Other customers having better phone line quality might not need it as much as you do. _Alain_ -- Alain FAUCONNET Ingenieur systeme - System Manager AP-HP/SIM Public Health 91 bld de l'Hopital 75013 PARIS FRANCE Medical Computing Research Labs Mail: af@biomath.jussieu.fr Tel: (+33) (0)1-40-77-96-19 Fax: (+33) (0)1-45-86-80-68 I've RTFMed.

I've got CTS/RTS flow control turned on on both the modem, and the ppp settings (and I've got XON/XOFF specifically turned off). I do have error correction enabled on the modem also. One interesting factoid I forgot to mention is that while tcpdump-ing an ftp transfer to my machine from my ISP (again, 1 hop), I noticed that the receive window buffer was pegged at 16KB on the socket. So, data wasn't even coming in fast enough for IP to squelch it. Still, like you mention, while this may account for low receive throughput, it doesn't explain how bad packets are getting through. Nor does it explain why the send throughput is so much better and error-free (you'd think line noise would be an equal opportunity packet zapper).

I have gotten around the read problem by encasing the in a while loop and just continue if errno is EAGAIN but this seems to waste a look of time looping. The syslog() problem I got around by creating a stub function that simply returns. Neither of these solutions are wonderful. Is there something that I should be aware of here? I would like to read() to block the calling thread and not the process. The program waits in the main thread in accept(). With a new connection, pthread_create() is called which does some processsing of socket I/O (no disk I/O). Then the file descriptor returned form acceptt() is closed and pthread_exit() is called. Fairly simple structure. I am overlooking something here? Is our libc_r not as thread safe as it would like to be?

Is this a goofy idea or what? Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I noticed that someone else brought up the question of linking motif applications without having to buy motif... Unfortunately, lesstif is not yet near enough to completion. I am not really interested as a developer in using motif -- I just want to link various public software packages to create static binaries -- so it's not worth the money (at least for now) to buy the libraries. But I, too, would like to link using the motif libraries. Let me float this idea... Wouldn't it be neat if there were some way to do a static link of the objects referencing a copy of the motif libraries without actually having the motif libraries? Of course, if I could reference the libraries over the Internet, I could just steal them -- and that would be bad. However, since static binaries seem to be OK to distribute, then the problem becomes how to do the link without having the libraries directly accessible. If I were to put the objects and libraries I need (including my local version of libc, etc.) in a directory that is mountable via NFS, and put together a file (named "OBJECTS", say) listing the objects and libraries needed for the link such as: OBJECTS: obj1.o obj2.o ... -L. -lmylib1 ... -lXm ... (for C++ use "OBJECTS++") then someone having the motif libraries could issue the commands: mount -t nfs myhostname:mypath /mnt/mr_nice_guy cd /mnt/mr_nice_guy /bin/test -f crt0.o || /bin/cp /usr/lib/crt0.o . /bin/test -f libgcc.a || /bin/cp /usr/lib/libgcc.a . /usr/bin/ld -e start -dc -dp -Bstatic crt0.o -L `/bin/cat OBJECTS` \ libgcc.a -lc libgcc.a >MR_NICE_GUY.log 2>&1 cd / umount /mnt/mr_nice_guy (add -lg++ if "OBJECTS++" were found instead of "OBJECTS") and POOF! I'd have my static binary! Even better would be the ability to fill in a form on a WEB page with my machine's hostname and the path for the NFS-mountable directory and just click `submit'. I think this is secure... I can't think of a way for me to embed a command that would be executed (and thus either stealing the libraries or doing something nasty.) The "ld" program needs to be run instead of using "cc" so that I couldn't embed a -B./ option and provide a counterfeit "ld" command... [I used "cc -v" to see how the linker was being run in order to come up with the above "ld" command] I don't know if this would violate the licensing terms of the motif libraries, but it seems that it would prevent outright theft. I'm also assuming that the lesstif versions of the motif header files are compatible enough to allow me to do the actual compiles to create the object files -- doing the link is nice enough, I wouldn't expect someone to turn their machine into a public development machine. Cool idea, right? ;-) Am I nuts, or could this work? Could this be used to let folks build static motif binaries for FreeBSD packages? Dave Bodenstab imdave@synet.net PS. I, of course, don't have the motif libraries or the machine with the net access to host such a service :-( I would be one of the first to use such a service, though...

("atapiflp.bat" also missing). I have just been to the mirror site for Walnut Creek - ie the University of Science and Technology of Hong Kong, but could not find the missing files I needed.

No. There is no WYSIWIG tool for web design. All the so called "W..." tool are not really "W...". Why? SGML/HTML were never designed to be WYSIWIG. They were designed for speed. But, if you need something to start with... Try xhtml. Check the other news group: comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix I think the topic were not dropped yet.

This charge covers any updates required during the first two (2) years. The Billing Contact listed in Section 6 will be invoiced within ten (10) days of Domain name registration. For detailed information on billing, see: ftp://rs.internic.net/billing/billing-procedures.txt http://rs.internic.net/guardian/ The party requesting registration of this name certifies that, to her/his knowledge, the use of this name does not violate trademark or other statutes. Registering a Domain name does not confer any legal rights to that name and any disputes between parties over the rights to use a particular name are to be settled between the contending parties using normal legal methods. See RFC 1591 available at: ftp://rs.internic.net/policy/rfc1591.txt By applying for the Domain name and through the use or continued use of the Domain name, the applicant agrees to be bound by the terms of NSI's then current Domain name policy (the 'Policy Statement') which is available at: ftp://rs.internic.net/policy/internic/internic-domain-4.txt (If this application is made through an agent, such as an Internet Service Provider, that agent accepts the responsibility to notify the applicant of the conditions on the registration of the Domain name and to provide the applicant a copy of the current version of the Policy Statement, if so requested by the applicant.) The applicant acknowledges and agrees that NSI may change the terms and conditions of the Policy Statement from time to time as provided in the Policy Statement. The applicant agrees that if the use of the Domain name is challenged by any third party, or if any dispute arises under this Registration Agreement, as amended, the applicant will abide by the procedures specified in the Policy Statement. This Registration Agreement shall be governed in all respects by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of law rules. This Registration Agreement is the complete and exclusive agreement of the applicant and NSI ('parties') regarding Domain names. It supersedes, and its terms govern, all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications between the parties. This Registration Agreement may only be amended as provided in the Policy Statement.

If you have unofficial IP addresses on your LAN you should filter out everything (which is best done by turning off routing). If you want socks, you can use it. Another option might be to use application level proxies (such as those in the fwtk), or th NAT feturte of the IPfilter package. ipfw *will not* enable you to have Internet access from machines with unofficial addresses. You must have some type of proxy/NAT for that.

In 2.1.5 ATAPI support is built into the standard boot floppy. If your ATAPI CDROM is not recognized you may want to try and set it up as the slave on the primary controller. Sometimes it helps.

Re-installed Netscape 3.0 and Java _still_ doesn't work !? long: (FreeBSD 2.1.5/Pentium/16M/Xfree86 3.2) I noticed that Java didn't work anymore after having installed NS3.01. I thought this was probably just a coincidence or something and tried to install 3.01 on another FreeBSD machine : Java didn't work as well. Oh well, just re-install 3.0 (3.01 wasn't so hot anyway) I thought. But : on _both_ machines Java won't work anymore. I deleted all the files that ever came with Netscape and re-installed everything but nothing seems to work. I think the java_30 file gets unpacked when I try to view an applet, Netscape is loading something big from the drive but the Applet canvas remains blank. Unfortunately no error messages.

You have to be very careful what you type. $ a=10 $ a=`expr $a + 10` $ echo $a 20 First, notice the difference between ' and `. Then you have to put spaces around operands and operators of expr. In csh you would type % @ a = 10 % echo $a 10 % @ a = $a + 10 % echo $a 20 % @ a += 10 % echo $a 30 > Further more, I want to know a general way to do some calculation using > variables under unix shell. What do you mean ? What type of calculation ? Large integers ? Floating point ? For simple integer arithmetic you can use expr, [t]csh (which has integer arithmetic build in).

I can install FreeBSD into my DOS partition(as is possble for Linux(by Slackware) - or - d. What needs to be done period? I would really appreciate any answers/suggestions that you are able to give me. Thanks very much!

The following works: ping localhost telnet localhost This DOES NOT work: ping vas.tomsk.su telnet vas.tomsk.su I think this is where the problem is. There is no route and no interface for 10.0.0.1 But I have no idea how I could tune the appropriate interface. I have tun and sl devices compiled into the kernel but I have only dynamic IP address so I cannot have something like ifconfig_tun0 in my /etc/sysconfig. Or can I?

A file ending in '.a' is a static library ('a' for 'archive'). The difference is that static libraries are used at link-edit time to build static executables and shared libraries are used at run-time by dynamically linked executables (man ld). To end run this problem, why not install the 'pixmap' port or package, which includes both (and you will need both, if you want to build any programs).

NFS mounts would probably violate the license agreement. The Motif license I have is a system license, and not a user license. Allowing net access via logins is allowed, but exporting via NFS would violate the license. Last I heard, this is how FreeBSD Motif packages are done. thud.cdrom.com has Motif, and the port maintainers can login to thud and make packages statically linked with the Motif libs.

I had the Adaptec 1542B ISA card left over, so I decided to use it to run my slow SCSI1 tape drives (an Archive Viper 150 and an Exabyte 8200). I jumpered the 1542B to Interrupt 14 so as not to conflict with the 2940. I don't know if this was necessary or not, but I did it anyway... I didn't change anything else on the 1542B, including the DMA jumpers, which I think are set to DMA 2 by default. (?) Anyway, now every time I try to access the tape drives, I get: aha0: DMA beyond end of ISA: 0x19cc0a0 st1: bad request, must be between 0 and 0 tar: read error on /dev/rst1: Input/Output error I think perhaps I need to jumper the DMA to a different number, so I'm going to try that now. But has anyone seen this before in a multi-SCSI controller system? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks! dmesg output follows...

The billing plans are rather inflexible, it is ungodly slow on Win95 (I think they recently came out with a "beta" version), they release "bug-fixes" every week or so, and tech support amounted to (and I'm not kidding) "Open up About... Help; click on each section and print it if you would like a hard copy for your billing personnel to read..." These people are scam artists. The worst part being that it is a simple MSAccess runtime, but they "lock" the SQL stuff so that you can't fix their mistakes. We had a heavy-duty SQL guru who knew what was wrong with it, but couldn't get in to hack it into submission. Again, if you've ever used Access and thought it slow, you will see worse performance from this lame product.

The simplest solution may be to buy a cheap ethernet card and give that a permanent address, say 192.168.1.1. Give this interface a name in your /etc/hosts file and make this the system name. UNIX is showing its age in this area; the mapping between the system name and multiple, perhaps temporary IP addresses is not well thought out.

Your 1542 is trying to honor a DMA request at a memory address the ISA bus cannot reach: aha0: DMA beyond end of ISA: 0x19cc0a0 The ISA bus cannot address memory above 16M. You need to configure a new kernel with the BOUNCE_BUFFERS option, this will allow the 1542 driver to use a temporary buffer in ISA address space and then "bounce" the requests to the user program. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

You should be able to locate at ftp.freebsd.org or you can use the linux version at sunsite.unc.edu.

What happens when you run make from the appropriate directory in ports? Have you tried mounting the first CD-ROM and using pkg_add?

I've been mucking with the -auto feature of iij-ppp for days and can't get it to work reliably. I've come to the point where interactive mode works flawlessly every time, but can't get the blasted thing to reliably demand dial. I've looked at the ppp.conf.samples, .filter.samples, .linkup.samples until I'm blue in the face. I've even had it sorta-work a couple of times -- the *FIRST* time a demand-dial situation occurs -- but it won't work reliably on subsequent demand-dials. Also, it seems to *NEVER* work if I: # telnet localhost 3000 PPP ON localhost> quit all # and subsequently restart ppp -auto [system] from the command line. The biggest problem (I think) is that the addresses on both ends (ISP and local) are dynamic - I can't figure out how to set up the ifaddr stuff to accommodate this scenario. All of the references - source, manpages, handbook and FAQ - seem to assume that I'll know, in advance, what the remote side address will be. Does anyone have a working ppp.conf and / or ppp.linkup file that works in -auto mode with both ends of the line having dynamic addresses? Help! (and thanks for your help!) ...sjs...

I don't see why. Sure, you should be able to run popper or pop3d on your FreeBSD box with no problems, other than logistics like getting the mail stored on your FreeBSD box (popper can't do proxied mail, it must be stored in the local mail spool).

No problems. Were you installing OVER 2.2-SNAP? What version were you installing? . Installing 2.1.x over 2.2 is not a good idea. .

The native telnet clients that ship with Win95 (or any other MS system) have been riddled with bugs for years, and show no sign of being fixed. There are better freeware and shareware telnet clients for Win32 - i.e. they exhibit better VT100 compliance than MS and don't lose track the output character queue pointers, don't get quite as mixed up when you change color or font, etc. I used to use EWAN, don't know if it's still available... Saying this, you will get best results telnetting from Win95 into a FreeBSD vt100 session if you do these two simple things: 1. grow you window to the largest possible size (you have to do this every time you open a telnet) 2. set terminal/preferences/buffer size to 24, not 25.

If you can not get one, have a look at 2.1.6. It sort of works with this release, however I had problems with it. On initial boot, it had no problems recognizing the controller and attached drives. However, after a "shutdown -r now" the card would not load the BIOS into the drives and FreeBSD would not boot :-( It might just have been my Fujitsu 4Gig however. Adaptec was fairly helpful. I called their 1-800#, went through the problems with the tech guy and they said they would exchange the card for me with a 2940UW which doest suffer from this problem. However, I could not wait for it to come, so I sent back the 2940U to my distributor and got a vanilla 2940A. ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike@sentex.net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Waterloo, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatre (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) * From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 4 17:35:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.3/8.7.3) id RAA28973 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Dec 1996 17:35:51 -0800 (PST) Received: from iworks.InterWorks.org (deischen@iworks.interworks.org [128.255.18.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA28968 for ; Wed, 4 Dec 1996 17:35:49 -0800 (PST) Received: by iworks.InterWorks.org (1.37.109.8/16.2) id AA21561; Wed, 4 Dec 1996 19:37:24 -0600 Message-Id: <9612050137.AA21561@iworks.InterWorks.org> Date: Wed, 4 Dec 1996 19:37:24 -0600 From: "Daniel M.

The following entry in `/etc/ppp/ppp.conf.iij' is probably pretty close to what you need: # # Here, we assume that IIJ server has 192.244.177.2 as their address. # This assumption may not be correct, but we'll fix it later. # Also, take a look at ppp.linkup. # # % ppp -auto iij-demand # # Use dummy ping to generate a call to IIJ. # # % ping 192.244.177.2 # iij-demand: set debug lcp set phone 0355118852 set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: MyUserName word: MyPassword PPP" set ifaddr 0 192.244.177.2/20 add 0 0 192.244.177.2 First, delete the `add' line. The file `/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.sample' contains (better) `add' logic, anyway, so just rename that file to `/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup'. You're not sure of either address, so you can indicate that by a '/0' after each address: set ifaddr 160.124.92.116/0 192.244.177.2/0 It shouldn't matter what addresses you use in `set ifaddr'. You should even be able to use the actual line above, because it says (in effect) "I really don't care whether you use these addresses or not". I found that using 0 (as in the example) for the local address didn't work well, and use a static address assigned to me for connecting to another ISP (the same `ifaddr' works for both). The local address won't be acceptable to this ISP, of course, but the '/0' gives the go-ahead to change it. This setup requires a dummy ping (as mentioned in the comments) to kick start it, but only on the first occasion following a reboot. Thereafter it will dial out automatically as required. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 4 18:51:38 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.3/8.7.3) id SAA03158 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Dec 1996 18:51:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from smtp-gw01.ny.us.ibm.net (smtp-gw01.ny.us.ibm.net [165.87.194.252]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id SAA03153 for ; Wed, 4 Dec 1996 18:51:36 -0800 (PST) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by smtp-gw01.ny.us.ibm.net (8.6.9/8.6.9) id CAA80070; Thu, 5 Dec 1996 02:51:30 GMT Message-Id: <199612050251.CAA80070@smtp-gw01.ny.us.ibm.net> Received: from slip166-72-229-141.va.us.ibm.net(166.72.229.141) by smtp-gw01.ny.us.ibm.net via smap (V1.3mjr) id smaxHQDe7; Thu Dec 5 02:51:16 1996 Reply-To: From: "Steve Sims" To: "Robert Nordier" Cc: Subject: Re: HELP: IIJ-PPP demand-dial with dynamic IP on both ends Date: Wed, 4 Dec 1996 21:50:22 -0500 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, that seems to be the kick I needed.

This is a shared library, and needs to go where the system looks for shared libraries. Look at `/etc/rc' (search for `ldconfig'). You may need to do a `/sbin/ldconfig -m' to have the system recognize the library. See the ldconfig(8) man page for details.

Good thinking. The `add' in `ppp.conf' *is* actually needed initially (until the `ppp.linkup' statements are executed when the first connection is established).

Certainly, but you would have to register mypcserver.com with the InterNIC first. If you're not up for the $100 investment that entails, take a look at http://www.ml.org -- you can register mypcserver.ml.org with them for free. That is how I got my domain name. It's not a top-level, but it works. > anyways any help you can give me is very much appreciated. > You're welcome.

FreeBSD is available by FTP at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD, or on CDROM from Walnut Creek CDROM - http://www.cdrom.com or send mail to info@cdrom.com. Also see FreeBSD's web site at http://www.freebsd.org/. > ALSO if your machine is a server is there a way to give it a domain name. > like with your software instead of accessing my machine at You need to contact your ISP about obtaining a name for your machine. In your case, you probably want your own name, so you'll have to deal with the InterNIC and pay your money to get a name. Your ISP could help you there. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Well, you have a special situation in that you have a PCI NE2000 card. They are normally ISA cards.

Be careful!! the 2.2 popclient will eat your mail if you run it with the default options. I believe it has been surpassed by 'fetchmail' which is in the ports tree.

Has the index format changed from > 1014 in ALPHA? No, Xfree upgraded. You should install XFree by pulling down the distfiles in 2.2-ALPHA/XF8632 and extracting them in /usr/X11R6. Of course, pull only the distributions you want. Use sysinstall as a guide since it gives the short names of the distributions. Optionally, use sysinstall, MOUNT the filesystems (don't NEWFS them!), use a custom install, and just install XFree.

Why would you want to install 2.0.5 using 2.1.5 sysinstall? If anything, you'd want to get a 2.1.5 or later CDROM and install that.

Help! Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 from CDROM. I get through the setup and it tries to create the slices on my hard drives. The swap file on my second drive will get created, but when FreeBSD attempts to set up on the 1st drive it bombs with "Unable to make device node for /dev/rwd0a in /dev!" My machine is a P100, 32MB RAM, 2 1.2GB hard drives on the 1st IDE, a 4X CDROM on the 2nd, and a floppy tape drive (Colorado 700). A bit more detail on my steps: If I use the boot disk I can't get the darn thing to recognise my IDE CD-ROM. If I use the install batch from DOS it will see the CD, but when it tries to put in the slices I tell it to it will only put in the stuff on the 2nd hard drive. I have been trying to set it up to use a 100MB slice for a swap file on the 2nd hard drive. On the 1st hard drive I'm trying for the /, /var, and /usr slices on a 250MB section I cleared out toward the front of the drive. It bombs if I set it to be bootable (the s option when setting up the slices) or not. I have boot manager for OS/2 (ver. 3) in the 1st 1MB of the hard drive that starts up my different operating systems. When the FreeBSD bombs it messes up the boot manager just like win95 does. Deleting the boot manager partition and putting it back clears up the problem just as it does for win95. Since I have the OS/2 boot manager I tell FreeBSD to not install its own manager or master boot record. Any ideas? Where did I screw this thing up! Thanks for any help.

We had a most wonderful discussion about this recently. Yes, the Ricochet modems work wondefully with FreeBSD, either iijppp or pppd. I'm probably violating an NDA, but apparently Metricom is developing a application note to go along with the modems on how to set it up with FreeBSD. Basically, you set up the Ricochet just like any other modem, other than it runs at 38400 bps maximum. The biggest trick is getting the chat script to work properly with the gateway. I go through the UofO and it has a very simple login sequence, but logging in through Metricom's main Internet service will be different. I can provide my user ppp configuration block on request.

I know you can tell it to do that if you have a boot manager installed, but what I need to know is do I HAVE to have ANY part of FreeBSD on the "C:" drive? (master IDE drive in a 2 drive system). In other words (in case ya don't get it yet due to my lack of UNIX terminology knowledge ): I run Windows 95 (I know, I know) from a 1.6 gig Seagate which is configured as the Master IDE drive. I just have some files in storage on a Maxtor 540meg drive which is configured as the Slave IDE drive which I intend to blowout. I do NOT want ANY part of FreeBSD on my Seagate. It can have free reign, however, on my Maxtor. Is this possible? If so, can you point me to any good resources that cover this scenario on the net.

I agree. I've had more than enough exchanges answering questions on iijppp configuration. I hereby volunteer to coordinate a (re)write of a FAQ for setting up user PPP (i.e. iijppp) under FreeBSD. If no one has any objections, that is. (Hey, if Nick Clayton , who contributed the handbook entry, wants the job, he can have it. Just speak up). Personally I've found the handbook too brief and in some places misleading or wrong when applied to user level ppp. (I can't speak for kernel ppp). So, I ask all interested iijppp users to email me: - Any special things you had to do to get iijppp running properly for you - Any problems you've had getting either direct or -auto dialing to work - Any questions you have/had about setting up user ppp - Anything else that might be appropriate I'm looking for submissions not only from experience ppp-ers, but also those of you just starting to set up ppp I think the FAQ should provide info for two separate classes of uses: one, where ppp is the only tcpip interface used, and the other when ppp is used in conjunction with lan interfaces. My feeling is that there a different/additional issues that crop up when using ppp concurrently with e.g. an ethernet to e.g provide 'net access for a lan without official IP addresses. [My point here is that the FAQ should have a separate section for these issues, not that it shouldn't cover them] Any suggestions (like, it's already done, see http://xxx.xxx.xxx) are more than welcome. -jay From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 5 08:04:57 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id IAA16418 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 5 Dec 1996 08:04:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from gandalf.asiapac.net (mail.tm.net.my [202.188.0.130]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id IAA16411 for ; Thu, 5 Dec 1996 08:04:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from gandalf (gandalf [202.188.0.130]) by gandalf.asiapac.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id AAA18556 for ; Fri, 6 Dec 1996 00:05:22 +0800 Date: Fri, 6 Dec 1996 00:05:22 +0800 (MST) From: Swee-Chuan Khoo X-Sender: sckhoo@gandalf To: questions@freefall.freebsd.org Subject: program to read from ttya Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk hi, Sorry about a little off topics.

This is typical of a down link. You send off packets to the name server, and for some reason they don't get sent. After 50 packets accumulate, the driver refuses to accept any more, and that's the message you get. > The output from mailq (when stuck is ): > Mail Queue (3 requests) > --Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------ > UAA12735 51 Tue Dec 3 20:09 pabraham > (host map: lookup (canes.gsw.peachnet.edu): deferred) > Elizabeth Abraham > TAA12414 351751 Tue Dec 3 19:24 pabraham > (host map: lookup (epsilon.cs.mankato.msus.edu): deferred) > "David J.

But you're not short of buffer space (the netstat says you're only using 24%), so there's no worry there. The real problem is that your ethernet link appears to be going down. There were problems with the vx driver in 2.1.5, and at a rough guess I'd say that's what's biting you. I don't know if 2.1.6 is any better, but you could try it, or if you're prepared to try the 2.2 snapshot, that might help. 2.2 will be coming out in a month or two, so if you can hold through until then, that might be a better alternative.

Or, is it necessary to change the SCSI ID of the boot drive and/or wire the target in the kernel config and modify/etc/fstab and verify that the appropriate slices for sd1 are in /dev? I've got one of those systems with an IDE drive and a SCSI drive. The IDE drive was added after FreeBSD was installed on the SCSI drive (if that matters). As documented, BIOS maps the the IDE to 0x80 and the SCSI to 0x81, but the second-level boot loader passes sd(1,a) (the "1" comes from the BIOS number) into the kernel instead of the correct SCSI device/partition. The system panics and reboots because it can't mount root. You can boot it with user interaction (i.e. by typing in the magical "1:sd(0,a)/kernel" at the "boot: " prompt), but I'd prefer not to have to do that. I'm running 2.2-ALPHA if that matters.

However, do you think it will work even if the ethernet card is not physically connected with another one? And how can I make sure that this address is not visible to the outside world when I use ppp? And another question, connected with the previous one. Perhaps I will set up a small local area network with several FreeBSD boxes. They will be given fake addresses like 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 etc. One of the boxes (say 10.0.0.1) can use ppp via a telephone line, with a dynamic IP address. Is it possible to configure the LAN so that when 10.0.0.1 is online, all the boxes on the network will be able to work in the Internet? If yes, how do I do it? > > UNIX is showing its age in this area; the mapping between the > system name and multiple, perhaps temporary IP addresses is not > well thought out. > There are a lot of people now who do not even seem to have a hostname, but use PPP and have an address like user@host.com.

Not really, at least now. The situation you're detailing is fairly common. The best way to fix it is to teach your kernel it's proper place. Modify the kernel line in your kernel config to point to sd0, rebuild, and reinstall. That should hopefully fix it up. Having both IDE and SCSI does confuse the boot loader, but there's not much we can do about it at present.

In that case, your tape is not supported. Only QIC 40 and 80 drivers are currently supported under the ft driver. There is a new one in development, but no guarantees.

Unfortunately, trying to split an installation across disks with sysinstall isn't currently possible, AFAIK. Install to the second disk, but put a small swapfile there for starters. Once the system is up, then you can manually create a second swap partition on the first disk. If anything, putting a small swap on the same disk as FreeBSD gives you a little backup in case your first disk self-destructs. Remember that the disk space must be completely unallocated. FreeBSD makes it's own partition and cannot be placed on top of DOS partitions. > It bombs if I set it to be bootable (the s option when setting up the > slices) or not.

You'll have to explain what you mean by "bombs", I'm guessing you're getting the ubiquitous "Missing Operating System" error. In this case, boot with a boot floppy and reset the active / startable partition to the Boot Manager slice. While you're there, you can add FreeBSD to the Boot Manager. Don't elect to install the boot manager. This is a known problem. I had a dos/os2/freebsd machine for quite a while and the boot manager has served me well. Hope this helps. Let me know if I've missed anything.

Don't use sysinstall, use the pkg_add command instead. Mount your DOS partition with mount -t msdos /dev/wd0 /mnt (or something like that) cd /mnt/freebsd/packages cp apache-1.1 ~/apache-1.1.tgz --> DOS will munge the filenames and pkg_add requires the original name.

And now it is time again to present THE LAME QUESTION :) I have configured my soundcard(s), got rplayd running and everything is running fine. Apart from the fact that I cannot *pursue* my box to play 16 bit samples. Why? Playing 8bit,8kHz .au files with rplay or (well..) `cat sample.au > /dev/audio` sounds perfect (As far as 8bit can be perfect) but trying 16 bit samples I get /&%$§"!. Trying to force rplayd to use 16bit I discovered that the sound device is never set to 16 bit. (I recompiled my kernel with some "enhancement": it now reports when the sound device is set to either 8 or 16 bit). Why? I must be missing something obvious and would appreciate any opinion (even a bang on the head). If it helps I would post my configuration. Thanks in advance, Sven -- I will not trust you, I, Nor longer stay in your company. Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray: My legs are longer though, to run away.

Naturally, a couple of problems have been found with 8.8.3 and 8.8.4 was released a couple of days ago. It too compiles well, at least on 2.1.5. I have a question about using m4 to build configuration files, though. If I change into the cf/cf directory in the sendmail distribution, create a file pit-viper.mc, and then run: % make -f Makefile.dist pit-viper.cf I get this output from make (this is from memory, but it's close): rm -f pit-viper.cf m4 ../m4/cf.m4 pit-viper.mc > pit-viper.cf Followed by an error message from m4 to the effect that it couldn't find ../m4/cf.m4. But if I run the exact same commands manually, it works. This only happens to me under FreeBSD (not under Solaris, SunOS, HPUX, or MkLinux). Anybody know what's going on here?

After I setup my client to access the POP3 server and attempt to retrieve mail, I get the following error: ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libc.so.3.0" I assume that it's because I don't have the crypt library installed.

You can try adding the ft tape driver anyway, which should ID the drive and perhaps head off the fdc device from going bananas when it sees it.

It should work regardless. Just make sure you call your ISP once every 4 days and run this command: sendmail -q That will clear the mail queue out. You'll probably get warnings every four hours that your mail couldn't be sent, but you can ignore those. I did this all over the summer and had no problems sending mail. I receive mail on another host and used Pine & IMAP to read it.

You can FTP it for free, or you can purchase the two-cd set from Walnut Creek, http://www.cdrom.com. I think it's $40, $50 with Greg Lehey's excellent book.

How can i install X? If you installed from ftp3, then X is not on it. Re-run sysinstall, select custom, MOUNT your filesystems instead of NEWFSing them, and select the X components you want. Install from ftp.freebsd.org. When you're done, run xf86config to set it all up. The mirrors appear to be missing the X distribution for some reason.

I just installed 2.1.6-RELEASE on a system, and ran into a bit of a problem which I've had in 2.1.5 as well: The installation program gets really unforgiving if it ever runs into a problem. Even problems which the user can correct and retry. The installation program appears to just throw up its hands and say "that failed last time, I won't try it again." The most recent case: * I recently had to install from floppies (yeah, I know, but this machine had no network card or working serial ports (yet)). I prepared the floppies as directed in the installation guide, only to have FreeBSD reject them, saying that my media contains none of my selected distributions. Looking through the debugging output (ALT-F2), I noticed that the program was looking for "bin.inf", not just "bin.??" like it used to. I re-made the floppy, with "bin.inf" on it, and put it back in the machine, and told the system to re-commit and go. It just immediately said that my media was incorrect (never even tried to read it). No menu options I tried (and I tried about everything) would convince it to go back and look to see if I put correct media in. My only recourse was to start over, go through all the disk labelling (well, mounting anyway) menus, etc, etc, and then let it find the first floppy. Now, everything was great and it loaded "bin" like it was supposed to. At the end of the last "bin" floppy, 2.1.5 always just prompted for the first floppy of the next distribution. Apparently 2.1.6 just looked at that floppy, didn't see any other distributions on *that* floppy, announced that the other distributions were missing, and proceeded to do the post-install configurations. No option to put in more media. Looks like something needs to be fixed, or the documentation changed to tell you how to *really* set up the floppies so that the new install program will recognize them.

I am not using locked flow control or port speed on the serial devices as mgetty must be able to change both depending on the mode it's running in. I belive flow control is finally working properly, as netstat -i shows no errors in the ppp link.

When you boot up, use the -s flag. (You have to do this kind of quickly when you see the Boot: prompt as you start the system up).

The problem is that nobody actually sets the audio driver into 16bit mode when playing audio. I added some stupid code to the driver that reports the audio setting via syslog. And this reads "Set to 8 bit". Even when I try my second card (a GUS which hasn`t the weird settings for dma/irq [SB16]) the same result: 8bit output. I have two final questions before I kill this thread due to its *big* importance. These questions may enlighten me or not - I will stop wasting your time [and mine] :) What do you use to play/record ? (which program and how configured, tell me everything :) Should a "cat iama16bitsample.au > /dev/audio" give you 16 bit output? (A BIG candidate for the lame-question-of-the-year, sorry!) BTW: playing MIDI files works for both SB16 and GUS [which loads its 16 bit samples and plays them as MIDI instruments -- correctly]. never mind, Sven From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 6 17:09:43 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id RAA22185 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Dec 1996 17:09:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from mpeks.tomsk.su (mpeks.tomsk.su [193.124.185.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id RAA22080 for ; Fri, 6 Dec 1996 17:07:53 -0800 (PST) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by mpeks.tomsk.su (8.6.11/8.6.9) with UUCP id IAA04209; Sat, 7 Dec 1996 08:05:35 +0700 Received: (from victor@localhost) by vas.tomsk.su (8.6.12/8.6.12) id VAA00490; Fri, 6 Dec 1996 21:18:14 +0700 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, swlange@worldsite.net References: <199612030633.WAA14445@freefall.freebsd.org> Message-ID: Organization: Tomsk Region Education Department From: "Victor A.

The problem is that nobody actually sets the audio driver into 16bit mode when playing audio. I added some stupid code to the driver that reports the audio setting via syslog. And this reads "Set to 8 bit". Even when I try my second card (a GUS which hasn`t the weird settings for dma/irq [SB16]) the same result: 8bit output. I have two final questions before I kill this thread due to its *big* importance. These questions may enlighten me or not - I will stop wasting your time [and mine] :) What do you use to play/record ? (which program and how configured, tell me everything :) Should a "cat iama16bitsample.au > /dev/audio" give you 16 bit output? (A BIG candidate for the lame-question-of-the-year, sorry!) BTW: playing MIDI files works for both SB16 and GUS [which loads its 16 bit samples and plays them as MIDI instruments -- correctly]. never mind, Sven From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 6 17:39:09 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id RAA23476 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Dec 1996 17:39:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from alyssa.ai.net ([208.194.40.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id RAA23465 for ; Fri, 6 Dec 1996 17:39:06 -0800 (PST) Received: (from nc@localhost) by alyssa.ai.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id UAA15951; Fri, 6 Dec 1996 20:11:07 -0500 Date: Fri, 6 Dec 1996 20:11:05 -0500 (EST) From: Network Coordinator To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Marking Bad Blocks Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We are seeing errors like this on one of our lab systems: sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:396e24 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error field re placeable unit: ea sks:80,d , retries:4 sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:396e24 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error field re placeable unit: ea sks:80,d , retries:3 sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:396e24 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error field re placeable unit: ea sks:80,d , retries:2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:396e24 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error field re placeable unit: ea sks:80,d , retries:1 Any friendly utilities to examine the drive(s) and mark the blocks as unusable?

If you haven't done a tape operation that rewinds the tape between the "tar -cvf" and the "tar -tvf", then the tape will be positioned after the end of your tape archive. You can either use the /dev/rst0 device to automatically rewind the tape after the operation, or you can rewind the tape with the command "mt -f /dev/rst0 rewind". Note that even a "mt -f /dev/rst0 status" should rewind the tape.

Either make more space for holding or set that file system to holding-disk in your disklist config file.

As a real rough guess ... have you fixed up the "chat script" line in um... that file that has your ISP's details in it (is it ppp.config? I'm on a different machine right now, sorry) That's the one part that the doccos cannot tell you. You have to carefully record your ISP's prompts and the required responses (username, password, etc) and model your own line using the examples and a few hunches. Apart from that, I slavishly followed the faq and handbook instructions and managed to get it working without once knowing what I was doing :-) If your script is OK for your ISP's login, tell us how far you get when you try to connect, and what it says when you fail, and we can work back from there.

I got the boot disk going. I got through the h'ware configuration and Novice install just fine. In fact, it goes perfectly until I get to specifying the IP addresses and Gateways and my machine's IP address. I am going to be dialing into my ISP and they will dynamically assign me an address. I have my ISP's server address. What should I put in the 'host' , 'domain' and 'gateway' fields on the Host Configuration page. I'm not aware of any gateways. Does my ISP qualify as a gateway? I think the connection will just go from freeBSD.org -> slip.net -> the machine in front of me. Do I need to enter ftp.freeBSD.org (or it's IP address) in any boxes? I select it as the ftp site in the step before the host configuration page. And once I'm dropped into the PPP shell. I type 'term' and then I can't pass my modem any AT commands. I can't even get back to the packet passing menu. The modem is a USR sportster 14.4. It is connected at DOS com2/ Linux /dev/cua1 and works fine under Linux. I tried going through the other com port selection, but that didn't work either. I know the cable is good. What might be the problem? Is there a document explaining that PPP/term shell you use to dial up an ISP and connect? Any help you could offer would be appreciated more than you know.

If you're using A great idea has just occured to me :-) In Windows NT there is a software emulator of an ethernet card. You can assign an address to it and work as if you had a real ethernet card.

At boot time I have the message "Writing to routing socket: file exists". Somehow I feel it would be more correct to have a special entry in /etc/hosts at least for the system name. I only wish I could associate it with some sort of fake interface (e.g. software emulation of an ethernet card) like it is possible in Windows NT. I would be just happy if there were something like this in FreeBSD. However, I have already borrowed an NE1000 card (old as hills) and will be experimenting with it tomorrow. I shall try to associate it with my hostname. Thank you very much for your help. Hope to hear from you again. --- Victor A.

I have a freebsd 2.1.5 box running samba. I am trying to set up windows 95 to connect to the samba server but with no luck. I think that the server is running becuse I can use the samclient from any computer. I have a dial up account that I am using with the windows 95 that is not connecting to the smb server. I also look at samb web pages and the man but did not found any information on how to set up windows95 to work with samba. I will appreciate any help, Thank you Lior Elazary elazary@netlimited.net.
