I was just getting ready to CVSup the latest RELENG_2_2 so I could help in testing. So I looked at the send-pr command to submit the bug reports... but while installing the CVSup package, I had a problem.. I put in the modula-3-lib package, then the cvsup-13.5 package. But when I ran cvsup ld.so complained about not being able to find libz.so.2.0. So I ftp'ed to ftp.freebsd.org and grabbed the /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/lib/libz/* files and comiled them up with the default makefile. It only made a libz.a and libz_p.a. I put them in /usr/lib but obvioulsy there was no libz.so.2.0. So I set about learning how to do shared libraries -- I'm glad this problem came up cause it gives me an excuse to learn about the shared library stuff :-) Anyways, I'm still looking up the shared lib stuff (I'm new to Unix and I love hitting problems like this cause I like trying to figure everything out for myself), but now back to the send-pr(1) question: The man page mentions I need a submitter-id. So I typed: send-pr --request-id. Of course, then I realized that I was on my machine at home connected over a dial-up line and I didn't tell it my email address so I'm assuming there's no way for me to get my unique sid back -- correct?? Plus, the man page (if I read it correctly) says if I'm contacting the FreeBSD project, that I can just run send-pr "out of the box" and it will have a customer id already. Is that true, or should I still bother with the --request-id business?? I can so a send-pr from a machine that's got a permanent connection to the net - so is this the best thing to do? Sorry for the long message, but I want to get this right so I can be useful in helping with the testing.. TIA, -Mark Now, back to figuring out how to turn a .a and _p.a into a .so lib..... I was hoping ldconfig was all that was involved, but now I see that ldconfig is just for telling ld.so where it's .so libs are!

This is a very poorly written PR, sorry. The question `How-To-Repeat' was meant as `how could somebody else repeat this?'. Very obviously, several 10000 FreeBSD machines on the world cannot repeat your problem by simply turning on the machine, instead they boot up as intended. You're suffering from some installation problem, but didn't go into any further detail to describe it. I'm going to close this PR (since it's useless as it stands), and kindly ask you to direct your questions to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org. In particular, describe how you have installed the system, what's the geometry settings, what's the output at the boot prompt after entering a `?' etc. Once you know what's going wrong, and you are sure that it is actually a genuine bug in the installation procedure or operating system, we can re-open the PR if you submit sufficient details to actually find and fix such a bug. If you intend this, simply send mail to FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, with a subject line of ``i386/1948''. The GNATS system will record your mail in the audit- trail of the PR then. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 3 03:46:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id DAA16674 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 03:46:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from dumbo.hh.kew.com (dumbo.hh.kew.com [192.195.203.133]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA16666 for ; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 03:46:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from kendra.UUCP (uucp@localhost) by dumbo.hh.kew.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with UUCP id GAA07157; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 06:46:13 -0500 (EST) Received: by pandora.kew.com (UUPC/extended 1.12s); Sun, 03 Nov 1996 06:26:23 -0500 Message-ID: <327c815f.kendra@pandora.kew.com> Date: Sun, 03 Nov 1996 06:26:12 -0500 From: "Drew Derbyshire" Organization: Kendra Electronic Wonderworks (PO Box 80144, Stoneham MA 02180) To: "Robert Chalmers" Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: somethings not right here.

I had this problem, I just don't remember the fix I describe is for THAT or something else. :-) In any case, I use a local machine as a hidden DNS server; the primary published server at my ISP gets it from my hidden machine and then a second publiched machine gets it from the first. However, the second machine was wrong (not loading from the first), and all queries to it screwed up. So check not just your local DNS, but ALL of them. -ahd- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 3 07:04:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA28336 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 07:04:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from franklin.cris.com (franklin.cris.com [199.3.12.31]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA28325 for ; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 07:04:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from galileo.cris.com (galileo.cris.com [199.3.12.30]) by franklin.cris.com (8.7.5/(96/10/30 3.5)) id KAA05766; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 10:04:33 -0500 (EST) [1-800-745-2747 The Concentric Network] Received: from localhost by galileo.cris.com (4.1) id AA14787; Sun, 3 Nov 96 10:04:33 EST Date: Sun, 3 Nov 1996 10:04:32 -0500 (EST) From: SKYNET1 To: Questions@freebsd.org Subject: Ethernet on PCI Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I installed BSD in the hope that I could get my ethernet working because unix is supposed to be the OS for networking.. but it won't recognize my Ethernet!! in my kernel i get this message pci0:10: vendor=0x10ec, device=0x8029, class=network (ethernet) int a irq 11 [no driver assigned] Ok...so know how do I setup the ethernet card?

Every time I try to install FreeBSD it comes up with the error that it can't write to the disk or something like that. The debug screen says there's a checksum error when it opens the bin.aa file. I'm sure I downloaded it correctly from the FreeBSD.org ftp site, since I used three different FTP programs using binary transfer on all three. So far I haven't really seen anything that'll fix my problem. Could you tell me exactly how to fix this problem, if it can be fixed?

In order to function properly on FreeBSD, the mgr server needs to have access to /dev/io, /dev/mem and /dev/console. One option is to run it as root, but another I've considered is setting the group ownerships on these files to `mgr', adding group read/write permission to each one, and making the mgr server binary setgid to group `mgr'. This worked all right in an initial test, but I'm concerned about hidden dangers. Will the system be compromised or unable to run by fiddling with the group ownerships on these files? love, T.

From: Tim Pierce Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm a little puzzled by the output of vmstat. I have 8MB of core and 16MB swap, so by my reckoning I have 24000 pages of virtual memory at my disposal. (Right? Wrong?) Running vmstat on a mostly idle system on a recent day gave me avm counts ranging from 20,000 to 4,000, with the fre list staying relatively constant at 700-800. When the system is heavily loaded, the avm count has gotten as high as 30,000. What's the deal? Shouldn't avm+fre approximately equal the total amount of VM on the system? Neither the man page nor the Nemeth book has helped shed much light on this. I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks, T.

I have installed FreeBSD up and running. When I want to start the X-server with startx, I get the message: Can't find startx. Going into the subdirectory /usr/X11R6/bin and typing: ./startx the machine answeres: Can't find xinit. I have configured the Xserver with xf86config through /stand/sysinstall. I have set the path in /etc/profile through: # echo 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin' >>/etc/profile. But what's wondering me is that within /etc/profile there is nothing written exept some # marked out command- and explanation lines. I also checked out the symlink of /usr/X11R6/bin/X which pointed to the appropriate S3 Xserver. I also had xdm running. I can tell you, I really tried hard for at least two weaks. I have bought two books which couldn't resolve the problem. 1st question: What about not finding the startx file? 2nd question: Where and how to configure the shell (path etc.)? 3rd question: I need a really good book about freeBSD/and X configuration and system-maintenance. I thank you very much, also for answering my former question.

I'm running 2.1.5-STABLE here; originally made from the CD-ROM sources. I'm using CTM, subscribed to the -STABLE branch. Everything was running just fine until I decided to recompile the kernel to add ipfw. After compiling the new kernel, I found that the interpretation of ansi was seriously confused. Thinking I might have had a library out of sync or some other oddity caused by CTM, I did a complete 'make world'. The new kernel was still incorrect, the old kernel still ran fine. What I get is that a large number of programs suddenly no longer understand control keys. Pico, for instance, won't intrepret a control-X as a control - it simply displays "^X" on the screen. Same for arrow keys. Console switching with Alt+1..Alt+n still works, and command line editing also works correctly with the new kernel - but virtually no application that uses control keys does. This is all using cons25. I did a 'tset -s' with the kernel that doesn't work and the one that does and they're identical, so I've more or less ruled out termcap.db problems. Starting a session from a telnet connection results in a refusal from pico to run because the terminal "isn't a terminal device". Again, it works fine with the old kernel. I've also rebuilt the kernel with exactly the same configuration as the kernel that works... and it still behaves the same (e.g. doesn't work). The remaining noticable oddity is that when you log in from the console (any ptty), your login name is repeated prior to the password prompt: login: bozo bozo password: I'm out of ideas here, and I'm hoping somebody can point me in a new direction. Would I be better off changing over to the -CURRENT branch, and if so, how can I do that? (Wipe off all the changes back to the CD sources and apply all the CTM -CURRENT changes?) Is anybody aware of any source changes that would have mangled this? Should I be posing this problem to a different list?

Start again with the GENERIC file. If it works, carefully turn it into something more closely approximating your file, one line at a time, until it stops working. Done, you know now that the line you just removed should have stayed. :-) If GENERIC doesn't work then talk to us again because you've found a real problem.

The nightly run of "fsck" was a mistake. Please comment it out in your /etc/daily script. That has been removed in later versions of FreeBSD (which I strongly recommend that you upgrade to - 2.0 was very buggy). Running fsck on an active filesystem will always generate various errors and thus tells you nothing. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 3 17:02:03 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA18045 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 17:02:03 -0800 (PST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA18037 for FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 17:02:01 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 3 Nov 1996 17:02:01 -0800 (PST) From: Greg Lehey Message-Id: <199611040102.RAA18037@freefall.freebsd.org> To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions (new version) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. =================================================== Last update 17 October 1996. This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

I started over with GENERIC and recreated my custom kernel config file... with one minor exception: my previous version, I'd been paring down things I didn't think I needed and optimizing. One of the options I took out was COMPAT_43. The new version from scratch includes it and it all works. I was under the impression that COMPAT_43 was only required for *some* older programs... apparently that was what was breaking quite a few of them, however. I suppose it could also be some of the things added to GENERIC since the 2.1.5 release, but at this point, COMPAT_43 seems to be the culprit. -Dave From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 3 19:01:29 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA01569 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 19:01:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from time.cdrom.com (time.cdrom.com [204.216.27.226]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA01549; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 19:01:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from time.cdrom.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by time.cdrom.com (8.7.6/8.6.9) with ESMTP id TAA09147; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 19:01:18 -0800 (PST) To: Dave Babler cc: questions@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Kernel tty problem In-reply-to: Your message of "Sun, 03 Nov 1996 18:44:12 PST."

I have a question for you. I have been fooling around with Linux for more than a year now and I am kind of disappointed. I have tried time and time again to log onto the internet in Linux and have failed at every attempt. I am not a rocket scientist nor am I a programmer but I am not stupid either. However I do like the Unix environment better than any other. For the most part the Linux documentation is poorly written. My question for you is - How is Free BSD opposed to Linux when it comes to being able to log onto the net? I can't believe that with all the programmers that work on Linux that Bill Gates has a more simple configuration for getting on to the internet. Thank you for any information you can send.

I have setup a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box which has a modem for dialin access. The modem is a Vfast Class 28.8 The com ports only have 8250 uarts. I am using stty to set crtscts on the com ports.

I'm in the process of trying to install FreeBSD on my 4meg 386dx40. The 'handbook' (or faq - I can't quite remember) mentions that 'the first floppy you will need after the boot floppy is the "floppies/root.flp" floppy' (this is quoted from memory). I have searched through all the directories (including the floppies directory) on the FreeBSD site(s), btu I cannot find the file root.flp. I'm not sure if this is my problem, but my installation keeps failing and getting this file might be a start. Secondly, I'm not sure how to partition my FreeBSD partition. I have managed to confine DOS, leaving 63MB for FreeBSD (using fips.exe and then deleting the resultant empty primary dos partition). I've then managed to create the FreeBSD partition using the boot disk installation program. However when it comes to dividing that 63MB partition into a 'swap' partition, a '/' (root?) partition, a '/var' partition, and a '/usr' partition (if needed?) I don't know what's the best ratio. Memory could also be a problem, so I disabled the system ROM shadowing, but I couldn't 'remap some of the "lost" memory out of the 640 to 1MB region' as the FAQ suggested. If anyone has any words of explanation or advice on this I'd appreciate it. PLEASE NOTE: I'm not actually subscribed to this list (as I don't often get to check my mail), so... PLEASE SEND ANY REPLYS TO: haig@cleo.murdoch.edu.au ... as I will not read any replys sent to the list. Thanks in advance for anything (anything at all!), Callum.

First thing to check out. Make sure that you're launching sshd as "sshd -i" from inetd.conf. Of course that's if you're using ssh from inetd. My guess is that you are since you said that you were getting a "port already in use error." Also, something to keep in mind, for some reason ssh or maybe ssh's interaction with tcpd causes ssh to expect to be in /usr/libexec. Since the default port installation places sshd in /usr/local/sbin, you will need to make a link for sshd to /usr/libexec. --Jerry 8) Jerry Alexandratos % - % "Nothing inhabits my (8 8) alexandr@louie.udel.edu % - % thoughts, and oblivion (8 8) darkstar@strauss.udel.edu % - % drives my desires."

As far as I am concerned, user space PPP daemon on FreeBSD is, in its ease of use, comparable to the one on Win95. You would be well advised to read the manpage on ppp. Unlike Win95, you practically *have* to write a login script, but it's just as easy as with Windows. I had no problems so far, and the daemon dials in automatically as soon as you connect, etc. Feel free to mail me back if you should have any problems. /Marino > > Thank you for any information you can send. > > Leslie > lesliel@concentric.net > From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 4 01:36:23 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id BAA18352 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 01:36:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from shaman.lycaeum.org (SHAMAN.LYCAEUM.ORG [206.54.74.27]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id BAA18339 for ; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 01:36:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (edmond@localhost) by shaman.lycaeum.org (Partyon/dude!) with SMTP id CAA03802 for ; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 02:36:13 -0700 (MST) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 02:36:12 -0700 (MST) From: "Andrew N.

Robert's on the right track. Streaming tapes, especially helical-scan versions, aren't very good about positioning on a tape mark, and *sometimes* you won't find the next file first time: you'll be positioned somewhere in the tape mark, which on Exabytes are quite large. Someone once told me that they're the equivalent of a megabyte or two. I do regular backups to DDS and Exabyte drives every night, and then read in the files again with this script fragment: for i in $filesystems; do echo +++ Backup of file $file, file system $i >$backuplist/$tapeid.$file try=1 while [ `wc -l $backuplist/$tapeid.$file | awk '{print $1}'` -lt 2 -a $try -lt 4 ]; do try=`expr $try + 1` /opt/bin/tar tvflb $TAPE 128 >>$backuplist/$tapeid.$file done /opt/bin/gzip $backuplist/$tapeid.$file& file=`expr $file + 1` done Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 4 04:51:30 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id EAA11350 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 04:51:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from chain.iafrica.com (chain-work.iafrica.com [196.31.1.66]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id EAA11319 for ; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 04:51:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (khetan@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by chain.iafrica.com (8.8.2/8.6.12) with SMTP id OAA07198; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 14:50:12 +0200 (SAT) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 14:50:12 +0200 (SAT) From: Khetan Gajjar To: James FitzGibbon cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: XQuake In-Reply-To: Message-ID: X-URL: http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ X-Alternate-Address: khetan@uunet.co.za X-Alternate-Address2: kg@iafrica.com X-Alternate-Address3: gjjkhe01@sonnenberg.uct.ac.za X-Alternate-Address4: khetan@chain.iafrica.com X-Comment: Telkom sucks huge!

I have just installed a Panasonic CR-506B 8x SCSI-2 CDROM drive and am having a couple of annoying problems when playing audio CDs. The first problem occurs when using the WorkMan-1.3 port to play CDs. With this software I am unable to eject the CD using the eject button on the front of the drive. Ejecting disks via the WorkMan eject button works OK. Deciding that it was a software problem, I decided to try the xmcd package. The symptoms with this were worse than with WorkMan. With xmcd I couldn't even use the software eject. Xmcd did however provide me with an error message... CD audio: SCSI command fault on /dev/rcd0c: Opcode=0x1b Status=0x3 My system is a P100 running 2.1.5-RELEASE. Any suggestions ?

You get more security if you keep your .96-127 addresses on the perimeter segment (where router and firewall communicate) and assign RFC 1918 IP addresses to your internal LAN nodes. With this approach, there is no direct IP route from the Internet to your internal LAN. Turn off IP forwarding in the firewall and proxy everything between the Internet and your LAN. If you don't want that, then you can further subnet your address block. The sanest way is to split it in half, keeping one half for the router-firewall link segment and the other half for the LAN. You can salvage more addresses by giving, say, addresses .96-99 to the link segment, but you'll need to add an extra routing rule to your LAN hosts. > On a related question, just to make sure I understand this correctly; does > the CERN proxy server reside on the firewall, instead of using fwtk's > http-gw? Yes, all proxy services reside on the firewall(s) in this sort of scheme. About HTTP proxying - squid outperforms CERN by quite a bit. Squid is just a proxy server. If you want to serve your own pages, Apache is more up-to-date than CERN's server. If your pages are for internal use only, I'd run the server somewhere else than on the proxy host.

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). 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.

Sshd is normally not run from inetd because it needs to generate the server key before it can respond to the client, and this may take tens of seconds. Clients would have to wait too long if the key was regenerated every time. However, with small key sizes (e.g. 512) using sshd from inetd may be fea- sible. If you configure it with '--with-libwrap' it will do all the tcpd stuff for you (including looking at the hosts.[allow|deny] files), then you can run it from rc.local and it won't have to regenerate the key every time. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.

FWIW, I ported postgres95-1.08 this weekend... aside from the usual minor configuration path changes, it compiled and worked without a hitch. As for your question, you need a later version of flex; I'm using flex-2.5.4 (don't use 2.5.3 as it has a bug). The flex (lex) that comes with FreeBSD 2.0.5 (and possibly later releases) is too old and does not contain the yy_flush_buffer() routine.

Even the "Running FreeBSD" book says to leave it in or "things may behave strangely"... sure did.

(aha - the "bug time" theory strikes again.) Just to let you know what I've discovered so far. I called adaptec to get their input. First, you should disable the "disconnection" negotiation done by the adaptec controller. Apparently, some SCSI devices don't like that. Second, you should disable any "synch" (short for synchronous) negotiation done by the controller. Third, you should drop the transfer rates down lower, particularly for older hardware. Lastly, of course, be sure you have proper SCSI cables and termination at the ends of the SCSI bus. - Dave Rivers - > > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > > --------------446B9B3D2781E494167EB0E7 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > There is message log in the file "problem.txt" > This happens once a day  > It leads to some filesystem errors >  > This is my environment: > FreeBSD 2.1.5 > IWill P55TU motherboard with Adaptec 7880 onboard SCSI controller > > --------------446B9B3D2781E494167EB0E7 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="problem.txt" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Content-Disposition: inline; filename="problem.txt" > > Nov 1 02:43:47 fareast /kernel: ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset #2. 2 SCBs a > borted > Nov 1 02:43:47 fareast /kernel: asserted ATN -

I have had success in munging the source code to gs to tell it to believe the printer has certain margins (look at the source code files--I think there's one called *djet.c or something like that), but one possible fundamental problem is that the margins on most deskjets are not symmetrical. If I remember correctly, the margins on my deskjet 600 are: .0167" top (this is the weird one--I don't remember exactly, but it's the smallest of the margins) .125" left/right (1/8th of an inch, or is it .25" ?) .5" bottom (by far the largest) This means, for example, that printing postscript with a .25" bottom margin will get your last line or so lopped off. There are more "sinister" problems that this could mean. I suggest getting the ghostscript port (not package) and fiddling with that--the most recent version comes with nice alignment pages that can help you figure out what the printable area of your printer is, and if it's aligned. Also check out the ghostscript pages on the web if you can: http://ghostscript.cs.wisc.edu/ , if i remember right. >Thx in advance... >Don :) -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 4 11:06:11 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA14530 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 11:06:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from toth.hq.ferg.com (pm1-05.wmbg.widomaker.com [206.161.154.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA14523 for ; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 11:06:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from toth.hq.ferg.com (LOCALHOST [127.0.0.1]) by toth.hq.ferg.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA21913; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 14:05:27 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 14:05:24 -0500 (EST) From: Branson Matheson X-Sender: branson@toth.hq.ferg.com To: Kurt Schafer cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Converting an NIS client into a slave server In-Reply-To: <199611021939.OAA26922@dude.cyberbeach.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 2 Nov 1996, Kurt Schafer wrote: > > Man, NIS is not the best documented service in the world when it comes to > firing up slave servers.

If the machine that you are making into a slave is to bind to the same files, you have to have nis_client flags. If you are not binding to those files ( a rather weird configuration ) you should not have them.. My suggestion is to bind. Use somthing like: nis_clientflags="-s -ypsetme" nis_serverflags="-dns" -s is secure.. only bind to servers running as root. -ypsetme is a good idea if only that it will allow you to rebind your server by hand. the "me" part says that only root on the localhost can do that. It will still bind automagically The -dns will check dns on the server before searching the host table that is propegated. > > A make from the master results in the following error. > > "yppush: could not read ypservers map: 3 can't bind to server which serves this > domain" This is because you are not bound to anyone :-) which is why I say it is a good idea to run as a nis_client too.. you _can_ do it with out that but it is a pain in the patookus. > Can anybody shed some light ?

That won't be enough. You need more like 100MB for a reasonable installation. Try using the 'A'uto key in the disklabel editor to spit out some calculated defaults. If it's not enough the editor will comment that it can't calculate for something that small. > Memory could also be a problem, so I disabled the system ROM shadowing, > but I couldn't 'remap some of the "lost" memory out of the 640 to 1MB > region' as the FAQ suggested.

Do you know if this would let me run the Digital AltaVista > firewall software for BSD/OS on a FreeBSD machine? Perhaps. I'm not familiar with the software in question, but FreeBSD 2.1.5 and later have BSDi BSD/OS 2.x support.

Possibly. Have you checked the Handbook? There is a section on setting up dialup servers.

As far as I know, if you mean 1542CP, not 5142CP (never heard of that one) - FreeBSD should work just fine for you. Have you tried it? You should have no problems.

He's punted out of our workplace in Salt Lake City and moved his family to southern Florida, but will continue working for us via the internet. We develop embedded software for M68K systems running VxWorks, and have ported our GNU-based development environment from HP-UX to FreeBSD previously to use on laptop computers. Anyhow, he originally bought a Mach64 VGA with his new computer, but we (of course) had difficulty configuring it with the 2.1.5-R CD-ROM. He asked if he should consider getting another card, and I suggested anything with an S3 chip; I've always found XFree86 and FreeBSD easy to configure on my S3/805 board. Imagine my surprise when he returned with a Matrox card with a ViRGE+ chip on it! ($153 for 2Mb/PCI, at Software & More in SLC). I quickly surfed to www.freebsd.org, and then to www.xfree86.org. We grabbed the 3.2 installation kit for FreeBSD 2.1.5, dumped it on his system, ran XF86Setup, and he was up and running in 10 minutes (less FTP time). His system now handily beats our HP 9000/712 model 100s on graphics speed, and is close on compiling speed. (This is only a 100-mhz Pentium). We have CVS setup so he can access the source store here from his home in FL, or anywhere else for that matter. Great going, FreeBSD and XFree86! I'm leaving for another company in two weeks, currently doing VxWorks development on Windows NT. It shouldn't take long to convert them, once they discover they don't have to buy new hardware and the software is FREE. Wes Peters P.S. I don't follow any of the XF86 mail lists.

I am looking to install a second server to "mirror" the first in order to have redundancy. I can figure out how to write a script for a second server to examine the first for integrity, and copy the contents of the pertinent directory structure once a day, but I was wondering how to tell the second server to start servicing requests when it realized the first was down. In both cases I would need to be paged in the event of a failure. I suppose I am looking at a software / hardware solution. If anyone has information on this topic, or knows where I can go to become more educated on this subject, please advise.

Not comfortable with auto dial-out, especially when this machine is also connected to the local amateur radio network. :-) While its easy enough to prevent auto dial-out with my external modem simply by turning it off, I still use pppd, and connect up manually with kermit.

One is a Cyrix 'p150+' and the other is an Intel 150mhz pentium. The only difference is the Cyrix floating math is NOT comparable to a pentium. I have a program mclock (get it at: ftp://cold.org/brandon/mclock.c.gz, compile with gcc -O). It basically does a few math functions several thousand times, clocking each cycle. It returns the following results: Cyrix 6x86 p150+ (120mhz): Float Multiply: 1.2383 seconds. Float Divide: 1.8352 seconds. Fixed Multiply: 0.2938 seconds. Fixed Divide: 0.4039 seconds.

Quick checklist (which I just wrote last message...): 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE HOSED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (but you can skip XFree86 if you installed it from 2.1.0 -- there are no changes) and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. It's changed a bunch this time around and it's too much pain to hack in the new changes. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local. Note that httpd is no longer started from sysconfig. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

Norton can do this no problem. 2. find the bootinst.exe and boot.bin files in /tools on the cdrom or on the ftp site at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools or something like that. 3.

Ugh. I don't think anything's on the horizon for full IPX capability. Netcon's stuff is about as close as we'll get unless someone sits down and writes all that code.

It's not a bug, but a feature. Look into your kernel configuration file, specificaly at the line for sio2. You'll see it has the word "disable" in it. Just remove it and make a new kernel. In 2.1.0 the probe for sio2 and sio3 was on be default, which caused some problems with some video cards. For this reason, in 2.1.5R the GENERIC kernel does not probe sio2 and sio3 by default. However, it is easy to change that by just removing that "disable" keyword from the configuration file. > > Please send answers directly to me, I'm not on the list. > > Thanks in advance. > > -- > Rodrigo de La Rocque Ormonde > e-mail: ormonde@cnt.org.br > PGP Public key: finger ormonde@cnt.org.br Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 4 23:51:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA13773 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 23:51:32 -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 XAA13759 for ; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 23:51:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id XAA05876; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 23:52:35 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 1996 23:52:35 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Christoph Kukulies cc: freebsd-questions@freefall.freebsd.org Subject: Re: misc ppp issues (debug level) In-Reply-To: <199611041926.UAA29459@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> 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 Mon, 4 Nov 1996, Christoph Kukulies wrote: > I'm trying to debug a ppp connection with a provider and I'm clueless > at setting a verbose debug level with ppp under 2.2-current. > > What is the secret to this sparsely documented feature? set debug n sets the log level.

The instant that fsck exits you do something to the filesystem and it gets dirty again. Nothing to worry about. The free block problem IS a problem and I hope you OKd it to fix it.

Pentium 120. I've combed the Makefile.global carefully. Well, I rekon there is a glitch somewhere. Perhaps it is the flex-2.5.3 after all, but where? I checked the gmake log line by line, thousands of it. No warnings or errors anywhere. Everything compiled perfectly - apparently. I then did the gmake install, checked the log. perfect. I then tried a "postmaster -d >& pm.log &" startup, and of course it bombed. as it should. I then did the 'initdb", which worked fine, I then did the "postmaster ...." bit again, and bang! it blows up. The short three startup logs are here, so if anyone has a similar experience, I'd sure like to know how you fixed it. Is it the flex version ? I might have to go to the flex-2.5.2 version, one release earlier maybe? or is it something else. A bad system call indicates something wrong in the actual function calls? anyway, here's the little logs of startup; postmaster does not find the database.

The problem was it would recognize and identify the Adaptec 1542 controller and SCSI drives -- but wouldn't read/write the busmastering controller. IT worked fine with the IDE C: drive (dos/os2). I dropped a 486/DX2 66 in and it all works. With internal and external cache off -- it worked SLOWLY... and not from the OS/2 boot mgr... Be careful. I'm going to reattempt the 586 insert and play with the cache jumpers -- since it's probably the Cyrix write-back cache.

FreeBSD comes with a boot manager (actually two) and you may also use the NT boot manager to boot FreeBSD (though it's a bit more complicated than using those that come with FreeBSD, and also requires NT, so if you want just Win95 and FreeBSD, using FreeBSD's boot manager is easier). There is documentation of those things in the web site. For FreeBSD/Win95 (and DOS and OS/2) combination look at: http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multios/multios.html For using the NT boot loader, look at the FAQ, specificaly: http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ76.html#76 > > thanks for your anticipated response > > > --------------------autosignature---------------------- > Mike Antici > Systems Administrator > Scholastic Sport Registry > mike@scholasticsports.com > (203) 797-9811 > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Nov 5 10:01:47 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA13561 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 5 Nov 1996 10:01:47 -0800 (PST) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA13554 for ; Tue, 5 Nov 1996 10:01:38 -0800 (PST) Received: (from nadav@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.7.5/8.6.12) id TAA29509; Tue, 5 Nov 1996 19:59:49 +0200 (IST) Date: Tue, 5 Nov 1996 19:59:49 +0200 (IST) From: Nadav Eiron To: Bob Reed cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Missintg file on CD "floppies/atapi.flp" In-Reply-To: <199611051707.JAA21690@hspice.internal.metasw.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 5 Nov 1996, Bob Reed wrote: > > I just purchased "The Complete FreeBSD" book with CD rom > distribution. > > Page 38 of the book says I need to use "floppies/atapi.flp" > to book up on my EIDE system.

The book was written in 2.1.0R times, and the CD you have is (presumably) 2.1.5R. With FreeBSD 2.1.5R you don't need a special boot floppy to recognize the EIDE CDROM, just use the standard boot floppy. Note that the best chance of getting your CDROM to work is to set it up as the slave of your hard disk on the primary IDE controller of your motherboard.

I have just received the the FreeBSD 2.1.5 distribution from Walnut Creek CDROM, but I have major problems installing it.

I _have_ created a bootdisk, and I have looked into the UserEdit, trying to put the Creative-driver port to -1 (0xffffff?)

I remember reading somewhere that there should not be any shadow BIOS enabled for anything, as FBSD (and other Unii) do their own memory mapping. Case in point is that I have an SVGA card that hangs my machine because it has some extra memory requirements (rebuilding the kernel for iosize helped, but didn't solve it.) > The CDROM drive stops and starts every 10 seconds or so when FreeBSD is > trying to access it.

The 1542x board has some smarts to it. I'd try turning it "off" by disabling any boot capability on the board. Here are the on-board settings I use: under the "SCSI Deive Configuration" menu take the defaults on the board. under the "Advanced Configuration Options" menu Reset on Power On - enabled PnP SCAM - disabled PnP IRQ 9 - disabled Host adapter BIOS - enabled (disble to block boot capability) Extended BIOS translation - disbaled Removeable disks - boot time only Dynamic scan - enabled BIOS two drives - disabled BIOS Int 13 - enabled BIOS bootable CDROM - disabled Immediate Seek - enabled Display CTL-A - enabled The DIP switch setting are default values except for the PnP disable on sw1. If you're not using the 1542 as your floppy controller, then set sw5 to "off" to disable the floppy port. Just to be on the paranoid side, I'd disable the excess device drivers at boot time (I'm presuming you're running GENERIC kernel). At the boot: prompt, type in "wd(0,a)/kernel -c" to get the userconfig prompt.

The machine originally had one 80 meg hard drive (Quantum ProDrive). I have installed a second hard drive ( 120 meg Maxtor) and have reformatted the original hard drive back to dos. The machine boots to dos without any problems and both hard drives are usable. I am now attempting to re-install (from floppies) FreeBSD 2.1. However, the presence of the second hard drive seems to causing grief during the installation. The installation finds the original disk controller (wdc0, irq 14) and 80 meg hard drive (wd0) however it does not appear to find the second hard drive. Eventually, the install hangs with a blank screen following the message "/stand/sysinstall running as init". At this point, a power off/on is required to restart the computer. I would greatly appreciate any information that you could provide in regard to how I might be able to resolve this problem.

Unfortunately it is not perfect and misses often. Try moving the disk to the slave position on the primary controller, and ensure you have the FreeBSD CDROM in the drive when you boot up. > CPU: 486/33 (yuck!) Not really.

I read on the web about the Linux-IPX howto. Apparently, Linux has virtually full IPX support (client, routing, server and printer sharing) with an external package known as ipxtools. I don't know how well it works though. Consequently, I also did look into Samba. That package will serve my purpose just as well as having full IPX support under FreeBSD. It's basically a toss up between how I want to implement the connectivity via IPX or Samba. I only looked at it briefly but it seems that Samba can be compiled as an NLM for a Netware server as well.

I think I need xntpdflags="-c /etc/ntp.conf -f /etc/ntp.drift" In /etc/ntp.conf only one line is needed (this could probably be moved to a commandline switch but ntp.conf has become a habit): server xxx /etc/ntp.drift is dynamically created by xntpd after some period of runtime. Runtime messages (startup and calibration) end up in /var/log/messages. Try the ntpq-program for status, I use ntpq with commands peer, associations and readvar to see what's going on. The xxx above is the interesting part, that's your time-feed. There is a web-server somewhere which lists all public NTP-servers in the world, but I don't recall the URL and I only have it at work. Search the web for NTP and you'll probably find it, mail me otherwise and I will look it up. Oh, also, don't forget setting your TZ to a correct value and preferrably as early in the startup-sequence as possible. I have my TZ-setting at the top of /etc/rc and it seems to work fine.

I had the same problem, but I believe the blame lies with the manufacturer of the motherboard and not Cyrix. In my case, the motherboard was even listed as one of the "golden" certified mobo's for the 5x86... Basically, it didn't like the combination of a high bus/CPU speed, a DMA busmaster (1542CF), and a write back cache. Lowering the bus speed from 40 MHz to 33 MHz (and thus the CPU from 120 MHz to 100 MHz) was one way to get around it. Disabling the cache (ugh! might as well use a 486-33...) was another.

Wasn't there an issue with some MB's putting a hole right at 16M for video or something and that caused FreeBSD to ignore everything up higher? And I think it was Compaq's that had the problem... Seem to recall the solution was either to turn off all caching of BIOS EPROM and video in the BIOS setup, or David Greenman had a kernel workaround that statically allocated the "hole" to nothing and forced everything to run around it.

I've been essentially off the internet for about 5 years after moving here from San Diego and didn't subscribe to an ISP until recently. It's basically like stepping out of a time capsule. A lot has changed online since I was off the internet back in '91. I stated Novell compatability since it is what I am familiar with and the fact that commercial MS-DOS/Windows applications work in a Novell network environment without much of a hassle. The only other alternative without doing some research to my knowledge is PCNFS but I don't know if a freeware version is available at this time. Doubtful since I haven't seen anything on usenet regarding a freeware PCNFS.

You have to chmod the fd0 device or set yourself into the operatorgroup. You can alternatively change the group ownership of the device. =D8ystein ------------------------------------------------------ =D8ystein S=F8reide Institute of Zoology, University of Bergen Allegt 36, 5007 Bergen Norway Phone # +47 55 58 20 13 (study office) From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Nov 5 23:57:30 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA27688 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 5 Nov 1996 23:57:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from bagout.bell-atl.com (bagout.Bell-Atl.Com [192.204.96.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA27681 for ; Tue, 5 Nov 1996 23:57:27 -0800 (PST) Received: by bagate.BELL-ATL.COM (O) id ; Wed, 6 Nov 96 02:56 EST Received: by bagate.BELL-ATL.COM (I1) id ; Fri, 1 Nov 96 08:24 EST Received: from is050701.bell-atl.com by is000684.bell-atl.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA19069; Fri, 1 Nov 96 08:23:57 EST Date: Fri, 1 Nov 1996 08:26:34 -0500 (EST) From: Vlad Markov Reply-To: Vlad Markov Subject: Internal US Robotics Internal Courier I ISDN Modem To: questions@freebsd.org Cc: vmarkov@server4 Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk My company is supplying me with an Internal Courier I internal ISDN modem.

I assume your CDROM is an EIDE device. If so, connect it as the slave to the motherboards controller (on teh same bus as your hard disk) and not to teh SoundBlaster.

I'm not 100% sure I fully understand what's going on: If my reading of the man pages and /etc/rc is correct, then I have two options if I want to keep accurate time on my machines, and have access to a time server somewhere (which I do). 1. I can run timed(8) at startup, which will slowly synchronise my clock to the master time server. 2. I can run a combination of tickadj(8) to set the optimum value for tickadj in the kernel, then I can run ntpdate(8) to set the initial date and time to a correct value, and finally I run xntpd(8) to keep the clock in sync with the master server.

Technically yes, but the extra port on SMC EP2 costs more than low-cost hub ports on average. But they are good for building 10 Mbps routers with 8 ports each. I guess at 100 Mbps would get tight on PCI bus, though, but backbone port would be nice to have at 100 Mbps. > > NOTE: Your motherboard must support assigning int B addresses.

My question is: What's the > difference between Sun's SunOS and Solaris. I can't find out any > difference by myself. There are 2 answers to that: 1) Solaris = SunOS + Openwindows + Desktop tools (Calendar Manager etc). So SunOS 4.1.3 plus Openwindows 2 is Solaris 1.1.1 And SunOS 5.5 plus Openwin 3.5 is Solaris 2.5 2) SunOS is the common name for the previous operating system. Ie. SunOS 4.1.3, which is based on BSD 4.2 with some 4.3 extensions. Solaris on the other hand, is SVR4 based, starting at Solaris 2.0 up to Solaris 2.5.1. Conventional wisdom is 2.0 to 2.2 is unstable and vertually unusable, 2.3 is fair, 2.4 is much faster and 2.5 is pretty stable and fast. Why are there 2 answers? Marketing. When Sun switched to SVR4 and came out with Solaris, they wanted to say that Solaris had more apps written to it than any other commersial Unix. To be able to say that, they retro- actively re-named SunOS 4.1.3 to Solaris 1.1.1 Generally, I have found in the user community, when a person says SunOS, they mean 4.1.x (or rarely now 3.5). It they say Solaris, they mean 2.x Paul. -- Paul T.

Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > My question is: What's the difference between Sun's SunOS > and Solaris. SunOS refers to the old BSD version of their OS. Solaris is the new (in the last 2 or 3 years) System V based version of their OS. Solaris is what Sun wants everybody to use. They tried to drop support of the old SunOS versions, but so many customers complained that they decided they would continue supporting SunOS and continue producing new versions of SunOS to support new Sun hardware. But other than hardware support and bug fixes, no new features are being added to SunOS. Note however that if you do a "uname -a" on a Solaris system it's still called SunOS. The name "Solaris" refers to the whole package where as the SunOS name (and versions) refer to the kernel. The SunOS 5.3 kernel is part of Solaris 2.3 (or at least I think that's how the numbers work). The "Solaris" name actually started being used before the switch to the System V based kernel. Solaris 1.X systems (which include the SunOS 4.X kernel) were BSD based. But common usage quickly led people to use the "Solaris" name to refer to versions of the OS that were based on the System V kernel and the SunOS name to refer to the older BSD systems. As far as the differences between BSD and Systems V, that's simple. System V sucks and BSD doesn't. :) Curt Welch curt@kcwc.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 6 07:35:35 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA25890 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 6 Nov 1996 07:35:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from night.primate.wisc.edu (night.primate.wisc.edu [144.92.43.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA25885 for ; Wed, 6 Nov 1996 07:35:32 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dubois@localhost) by night.primate.wisc.edu (8.8.2/8.8.2) id JAA10008; Wed, 6 Nov 1996 09:35:08 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199611061535.JAA10008@night.primate.wisc.edu> Date: Wed, 6 Nov 1996 09:35:08 -0600 From: dubois@primate.wisc.edu (Paul DuBois) To: igor@ibank.ru (Igor Vinokurov) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: compile sendmail from /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail In-Reply-To: <199611061244.PAA02502@escape.cs.ibank.ru>; from Igor Vinokurov on Nov 6, 1996 15:44:19 +0300 References: <199611061244.PAA02502@escape.cs.ibank.ru> X-Mailer: Mutt 0.47 Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Igor Vinokurov writes: > Anybody can explain me why sendmail does not compile from source > distribution (/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail) properly? > > I run make in this directory and have got some fatal errors then... :( Errors such as? > P.S: In other words, I would like to upgrade sendmail at my 2.1.5R box. > I was compiling sendmail myself before this day, but now I would like > try to do it in the standard way.

In one case, I have a class that I use many times, e.g. MyClass class1,class2,class3,class4,class5; This class is basically just data, but does have a fairly elaborate constructor to massage the data, and allocate memory for other operations.

I recently re-formatted my HDs and installed WinNT 4.0 and am trying to install 2.1.5R in place of my old 2.1 installation. I'm running into a problem with the checksums during the install. The files it has the problem with are bin.ad and one of the manpages files. I've tried the follwing installation methods: FTP using the setup program from the mirror at SunSite Northern Europe; Installing from a DOS partition after getting the files from SunSite (making sure that the transfer was binary, of course); Same again, but getting the files from ftp.cdrom.com; Same again, using Samba to get the files from SunSite. Every time, the same error on the same file. I've checked bin.ad, and its the right size and I definitely didn't transfer it in ASCII mode, so I don't think it's the transfer that's the problem. I'm installing the root partition on the last 40Mb of my 504Mb primary HD, with the rest on a partition on my second HD. Both drives are IDE. I'm starting with clean partitions each time I attempt an install. The only other errors I can see during the install are a couple of messages telling me that the last ~2000 sectors of my drives are unallocated - is this connected? I used DOS FDISK to carve up the drives in the first place. A secondary question - I still have my existing OS-BS boot manager in place and would like to use that to select between FreeBSD and the NT boot manager. Is this a sensible way of doing it or should I really add FreeBSD to the NT boot manager options? Finally, is there likely to be (read-only, even) support for mounting NTFS file systems in the near-ish future? I read something about someone having knocked something together, but I don't have any details. I've looked in the docs and the archive for help with the install problem, but I can only find references to the files being transferred in ASCII, so this is my last resort, although I'm probably missing something stupid..

You should have at least 100mb (per Doug I believe) allocated for FreeBSD. If your current hard drive doesn't have that much available to be partitioned off, then getting a second drive becomes a necessity. One thing I am not sure of, is whether FreeBSD requires a partition off of the main HD for booting purposes. When I used UnixWare, it required at least an 80mb partition on the boot HD. If FreeBSD does, you may still have some work to do on your current HD even if you buy a second one.

I had jumpered the second drive to slave mode. The release of FreeBSD that I was attempting to install was 2.1.0. I have since downloaded 2.1.5 and which seems to recognize both hard drives without any problem. However, I am now encountering a different problem. I am able to do the initial configuration (including labeling and partitioning both hard drives), however I am having trouble getting beyond this point. When I do a Commit, some initial FreeBSD does some set up and comes up with a message "Starting Emergency Holographic Shell" and then asks for the next floppy. I insert the /bin/bin.aa-ae floppy and then get another Emergency Holographic Shell message followed by the message "Couldn't extract the following distributions. This may be because they were not available on the installation media you've chose: bin doc manpages dict". Any suggestions as to how to get around this?

I see this under FreeBSD with 2 Wangteks (500MB, QIC) and a Tandberg (500MB, QIC). However, under ISC 2.2 (which didn't really support these types, but just a generic one) and DOS it works correctly. (ISC also had a generic re-tension command, which I see missing in FreeBSD) Therefore I suspect something being incomplete with the SCSI commands send to the tape, perhaps some argument. Til now I didn't dare to access the tape directly with SCSI commands. May be I should try ... -- however, locking the SCSI-bus is no fun, especially when the system does not recover all files, clearing non-empty inodes instead of reconnecting them in lost+found ...

With a 16550A UART you are able to use speeds of up to 115200, but the 16450 only supports 19200, so remember to check the boot-messages as it starts. if your modem requires a setup string (mine doesn't) you might want to write it down off of your dos prog.

I believe that it had something to do with the fact that the file should be called mountdtab instead of mountdbtab (something messed up with the install).

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there! I'm having a lot of trouble with my ppp dialup router. It is really driving me crazy!! Last time I wrote about this, someone told me about upgrading to FreeBSD 2.1.5, 'cause 2.1.0 has bugs in the ppp daemon. Ok, I have done it. the "Address already exists" message is gone, but now I have OTHER problems :( When I connect to the FreeBSD machine using Windows95 dialup networking, everything works (apparently) fine, I can do a telnet session and spend an hour working with no problem... but when I start Netscape or something that puts a more heavy traffic on the line, pppd begins to send messages to the console, as follows: ppp0: bad fcs /kernel: bad fcs and the connection freezes. The modem does not hang, the FreeBSD box keeps working normally, but no traffic occurs between the modems anymore. My checklist is as follows: 1. Modem cables: Ok 2. Modem setup: USRobotics Sportster 28.8, initialized at 38400bps using cu (getty uses 38400bps too). 3. pppd options file: modem passive domain xxxx.xxx.xx crtscts kdebug 1 debug -mru -pc mru 1500 proxyarp netmask 255.255.255.192 4. Kernel compiled with GATEWAY and ARP_PROXYALL options. 5. The serial port UART is a 16550A. 6. The modems are using error correction. What could be happening here? Give me some hints, PLEASE!! this situation is ruining my project of a unix dialup router, and I don't want my department to spend lots of money on an access server, terminal server or something like that instead.

In the past (though not recently) this machine successfully ran netbsd (and with only 4 meg of ram too) so I'd like to think that the hardware isn't damaged. -john From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 6 17:25:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA14482 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 6 Nov 1996 17:25:31 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.cdsnet.net (mail.cdsnet.net [204.118.244.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA14477 for ; Wed, 6 Nov 1996 17:25:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.cdsnet.net (mail.cdsnet.net [204.118.244.5]) by mail.cdsnet.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id RAA29261; Wed, 6 Nov 1996 17:25:26 -0800 Date: Wed, 6 Nov 1996 17:25:25 -0800 (PST) From: Jaye Mathisen To: Vlad Markov cc: questions@freebsd.org, vmarkov@server4 Subject: Re: Internal US Robotics Internal Courier I ISDN Modem 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 Fri, 1 Nov 1996, Vlad Markov wrote: > Date: Fri, 1 Nov 1996 08:26:34 -0500 (EST) > From: Vlad Markov > To: questions@freebsd.org > Cc: vmarkov@server4 > Subject: Internal US Robotics Internal Courier I ISDN Modem > > I see questions about ISDN throughput on this list.

As I recall, the I-modem won't bond, it only supports 1 64k connection. (At least on the one I had until I switched to the Sportster ISDN modem, which will bond).

I own a computer with 486 DX / 33MHz processor, 1.3 GB Hard Drive that has only DOS and CD-ROM driver installed. I am trying to install FREEBSD 4.4 on my computer and I am having all kinds of problems; 1. The installation program does not recognize my CD-ROM drive ( Creative Labs/ Sound Blaster) on the last step of the installation that asks for the source of installation. The CD-ROM works fine from the moment I initialize the “install” command until the last step of the installation routine. 2. As a result I have had to option for installation from “ a DOS partition”. I have created a new directory under DOS, C:\FREEBSD and I have copied all the files under the D:\mists\bin from the CD to the new directory on C:\. ( minimum required for installation) Then I followed all the steps described in the installation routine. At the end of the routine I have two error messages: - the system can not find some other bin.... files - which I have corrected by going back and copy from the CD into the hard drive; I think I have corrected since the file name not found is changing after a copy the previous ones; it does not seem to be a problem and eventually they all will be copied. - the second message is that the installation routine could not find the Kernel image file. I have ignored the message and I finished installation; at the end the last message is that I will not be able to boot from the hard drive. 3. Booting from the system from the hard drive brings up the boot initialization routine over and over and the boot will not go any further. Booting from a boot diskette is even worst; the boot routine goes into a hard drive check that never ends. ( it checks cylinders and heads ... that gets stuck on cylinder 46). I can use all the help I can get......

Nope, not that I know of.

Support for the 3c900 (PCI Etherlink XL) was just added to -current recently. You'd have to upgrade to -current to get this new functionality, at least until the next SNAP comes out. You can get cards pretty cheap through many mail-order outlets such as CDW. I realize shipping may be a bunch there but if you need the support, then you're kinda stuck. Consider consolidating orders with other people to save on shipping costs.

If it is NE2000 compatible, you may be able to trick the ed driver into accessing it, like we did with the lnc driver some time ago. 1. Boot -v; get the info for this device. 2.

I would verry much apriciate some help on the topic So you want to load-balance between the ISDN and the presumably PPP line? AFAIK the supplied software does not support this.

This seems more complex than it really is. I just set up /etc/ntp.conf to point it in the right direction, run xntpd in sysconfig and it keeps the system on track. xntpd already uses the tickadj system for small time updates and explicit sets for dates that are too far off.

I'm configuring this machine as an NFS server with 4 nfsd's running... My client machine is a 486DX50 w/16MB and a WD8013EPC ISA ethernet. I'm configuring this machine as the NFS client with 4 nfsiod's running... Both are running 2.1.5R. After copying a few files from server to client, the transfer freezes, and the server (laptop) starts displaying this error message, approx. once every 30 seconds: server /kernel: nfsd send error 55 Of course, this is the dreaded mbuf problem, confirmed by trying a ping: server# ping client PING client (198.102.156.3): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote client 64 chars, ret=-1 ... I rebuilt the server's kernel with more mbuf's, thinking this might solve it: options "NMBCLUSTERS=2048" but get the same problem... and the client must be rebooted each time. The server can be restored to "sanity" by killing all nfsd's and down-ing, then up-ing the interface (zp0). But to play it safe, both client and server were rebooted - same problem. server# netstat -m 155 mbufs in use: 115 mbufs allocated to data 34 mbufs allocated to packet headers 4 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks 2 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 34/34 mbuf clusters in use 87 Kbytes allocated to network (100% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines It doesn't look like many clusters are allocated at all...

The problem is not with DNS (though that might be a problem with reverse translation). The main problem is routing. When your router to the Internet sees an address that belongs to 132.147.x.x it will send it to the internal network, and not the internet. If all you need is web access and the like, I think there is a solution, but it is not an elegant one, nether is it easy to implement. What you'll need is *two* proxies. Look at the following scheme: +---------------------+--------------+ 132.147.x.x | | +-+-+ | | Proxy1 +-+-+ | | "Legal" IP Addresses +-+-+ | | Proxy2 +-+-+ | The Internet With this configuration, you should configure Proxy1's routing tables to look for the 132.147.x.x addresses on the internal networks, and Proxy2's routing tables to look for those addresses on the Internet. This would let Proxy2 communicate with hosts in the "real" 132.147.x.x net on the internet, while Proxy1 will recognize your net. You may have a bit of trouble configuring your proxy software, but I think a bit of patching on something like the TIS fwtk will do the trick. For web access it might even be easier than you'd think. Still, this solution is far from elegant and you really should consider assigning new addresses to your nodes or giving up on the 132.147.x.x networks (who owns it anyhow?). I should also say that I've never tried such a setup, but I think that it could be made to work. > With the given IP scheme is there a method by which I can still access > the nodes on Internet whose IP's netid is same as ours ?

(curiosity) As I understand, it saves the calibration it has learned, and starts with the same calibration the next time xntpd starts. Should save some work getting back into sync. I leave xntpd running when I drop my PPP connection because it continues to apply its corrections to the clock but knows not to alter the drift values. This way my clock is within 500ms when I reconnect the next day. Otherwise its about 8 seconds/day off. Have to kill the old xntpd when my IP address changes as its not smart enough to follow dynamic IP addresses. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@tomcat1.tbe.com (wk), dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

FCS means Frame Check (Control?)Sequence. Basically a CRC of the frame to check that is has not been corrupted. With error correcting modems, such occurences are nearly always due to characters being lost (due to flow control not working) or added (due to either side emitting unwanted XON/XOFF characters which get inserted in the data flow). Your check list seems reasonable. I would add: 1) check that the modems are configured for RTS/CTS flow control and *ONLY* that. Some modems (e.g. USR Courier) allow for *BOTH* RTS/CTS and XON/XOFF i.e. they will both lower CTS *and* send XOFF to stop data from the host if configured to do so. Also check the tty configuration on either side for exclusively hardware flow control. 2) configure pppd for an asyncmap which allows for extra XON/XOFF to show up (asyncmap 000a0000). 3) lower the MTU/MRU to 296 (it gives better interactive response while the link is heavily loaded by some file xfer nevertheless, at the price of a somewhat lower kb/s ftp rate). There was an issue on some versions of Linux about the IDE disk driver holding interrupts masked for too long, causing such problems, but I have never heard of nothing similar for FreeBSD. Probably not relevant.

I believe you need to run current or one of the snap kernels to get Linux ELF support. For the difinitive answer, you might want to try the archives (I'm not sure when Linux ELF support was added). Also, all I have in my kernel is 'option COMPAT_LINUX' and everything I've tried so far works fine (I am running 2.2-960801-SNAP). I believe you either put the 'option COMPAT_LINUX' in you kernel config file and run stuff without the LKM, or you take out the option and run stuff with the LKM. If you have the right option in your kernel config file, you will not need the LKM. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm. Svcs.

In particular kinput2, canna2, kterm japanized tcl/tk, and mule. I know these are not the newest versions, I am willing to get those if it would help. One obvious problem I am having is getting a kanji key defined using xmodmap. kterm seems to work with canna, it outputs a Janpanese error message, but I am unable to do input. Unfortunately, I can't read, or write Japanese. So why am I doing this? Well, my customer's product is being internationalized, and we need a Japanese test environment. Once this is up and running we have people who will be able to use it.

I used the upgrade proceedure on the CDrom, using a DOS partition as a buffer for the files. (My CDrom still isn't working with FreeBSD). After the installation I could not get Xwindows to come up. It usually complains that it can't find a socket (SocketUNIXConnect). I have been plowing through the book and man pages and haven't found anything that corrects the problem. I suspect it is setup on my end. Now for the strangeness. After I initiate a slip connection through a serial card to a modem Xwindows stops complaining and comes up. I would appreciate any help, pointers or direction you might be able to offer. Respectfully, RJ Howard. ******************************************** * Name: Robert J.

They're harmless. gcc 2.7.2 is much more touchy than 2.6.3 about some stuff. Those warnings are slowly being cleaned up.

Yes, wierd - common sense (and the archive) would tell me to check my file transfer yet again, even though I'm certain its OK, but I suspect that I have another problem, espescially considering that the FTP install falls over (and that *must* be doing the FTP properly, right? ;-). My first attempt at this installation was using the setup FTP install, putting on most of the binary distribution, all of which loaded fine except the bin and the manpages. If we rule out FTP problems, that leaves two possibilities: The binary dist on ftp.cdrom.com is corrupt (highly unlikely) or There is something dodgy about my setup. Apart from re-partitioning my drives and plugging in a wee bit more RAM, I've not changed my setup since I had 2.1.0 installed. HD corruption? Other hardware fault? I had a few glitches when I originally installed 2.1.0 (including, I think, checksum errors), but they were all down to problems trying to install the root partition on my second HD and went away when I found the right configuration. Could it be anything to do with active/bootable partitions? Am I clutching at straws? Only glitch I had previously had with 2.1.5R was getting boot.flp to work - it wouldn't boot. Dodgy floppy I think, but after a few attempts it worked. Is it worth doing a new boot.flp on a fresh floppy just in case? Still clutching at straws? Incidentally, given the number of failed installs I have, it's a real pain that the boot floppy doesn't save my configuration options :-( Dave -- David Goddard Management Information Services, Imperial College, London SW7 2AZ, UK Telephone: +44 (0)171 594 7282, Fax: +44 (0)171 594 7277 Lead me not into temptation.

Here we have two machines with the same configuration. Pentium 100, 32 Mb RAM, HD 2.0 gb SCSI and an EXABYTE - 4mm Cartridge tape drive Running FreeBSD 2.1. That's the problem i have. I can write to the tape, but i can't read anything from the tape. When i try to restore a backup, using tar for example my system crashes. The computer tries to access de tape, and nothing happens, waits about two minutes and then the system CRASHES. Here follows the error msg the system sends to me: ahc0:target 3,lun 0 (st0) timet out st0(ahc0:3:0):BUS DEVICE RESET message Queued. st0(ahc0:3:0):TARGET Busy ahc0:A:3:no active SCB for reconnecting target - issuing ABORT. SAVED_TCL == 0x30 ahc0:target1,lun0(sd0) timed out By the way, I tested the restore on both machines, using CPIO and TAR. But everytime i try to access something from the tape to the HD, the system crashes. Any help or information will be useful. I need to soon this problem as soon as possible. Please, I'll be very glad if someone help me. Thanx a lot.

There is a program in the Ports collection called rsynth that does decent, but relatively slow, text to speech. As for interfacing it to the console driver to make a usable screen reader, that would be more difficult. I'm not familiar enough with systems programming to know how that would best be done, and the blind people I know are not computer users so I don't know much about what constitutes as useful screen reader. However, there are people around here intimately familiar with systems programming and with a good description of how a screen reader should work (from the user's point of view) they could probably give a quick estimate of how difficult it would be. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 8 07:00:25 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA07610 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 07:00:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from cruz.isle.net (root@cruz.isle.net [204.140.227.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA07605 for ; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 07:00:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from john (router1port03.isle.net [204.140.227.226]) by cruz.isle.net (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id HAA01680 for ; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 07:57:19 -0800 Message-Id: <2.2.32.19961108145719.0092c430@isle.net> X-Sender: johns@isle.net (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 08 Nov 1996 06:57:19 -0800 To: questions@freebsd.org From: John Scharles Subject: Taylor UUCP chat Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to automate a logon session using cu and everything seems to work fine until I try to use chat to send a 'cr' to initiate the login.

Other things generate hangups as well. The application usually exits fine with those. On a different note, for others who read this message, why do SIGTERM and SIGKILL work nicely, but a SIGQUIT, which sounds nice and all, dump core most of the time? -jd From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 8 07:41:39 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA15068 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 07:41:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from post-ofc04.srv.cis.pitt.edu (root@post-ofc04.srv.cis.pitt.edu [136.142.185.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA15063 for ; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 07:41:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from unset.rmt.net.pitt.edu (ehdup-c1-9.rmt.net.pitt.edu [136.142.20.139]) by post-ofc04.srv.cis.pitt.edu with SMTP (8.8.2/cispo-2.0.1.7) ID ; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 10:33:11 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <32835425.167EB0E7@pitt.edu> Date: Fri, 08 Nov 1996 10:39:17 -0500 From: John Duncan Organization: Gaussian Diffusion X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Suggestion for iijppp's demand dial. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk IIJPPP is neato, I thought, except it ended up being not worth using because of its clumsy interface and the fact that it would only demand-dial if you had a preset default route. I don't have one. Perhaps there could be an additional lkm-style network driver that would use about 2k at the most called 'iijdd0' which would be the demand-dial line that programs could use, and when something came through iijdd0, it would route it to whatever ended up being the default route through which iijppp would normally send the data after dialing. I think that would be much easier to set up, in the long run, so we wouldn't have to play around with those annoying network numbers. My problem here is that at Pitt, we have machines named ehdup-#.ts.net and each of those routers has 16 hardwired lines, ehdup-#-x.rmt.net and those hardwired lines all have unique addresses, registered with the nameserver. Chances of getting the same router twice are like 1 in 30. So what I was thinking was that localhost could be connected to imaginary as the default route, and when a packet came down the imaginary route, 10.17.32.1 or whatever you please, it would wait until iijppp dialed and connected tun0, and then it would route the packet through the point on tun0 once that route was established. Furthermore, we would be able to run Kerberos, timed, and other network-based things over tun0 without requiring a dedicated line. Hmm... the possibilities are endless. -jd From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 8 07:53:35 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA16111 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 07:53:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from brimstone.gage.com (brimstone.gage.com [205.217.2.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA16090 for ; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 07:53:25 -0800 (PST) Received: (from mail@localhost) by brimstone.gage.com (8.8.2/8.7.3) id JAA18812; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 09:52:53 -0600 (CST) Received: from octopus.gage.com(158.60.57.50) by brimstone.gage.com via smap (V2.0beta) id xma018810; Fri, 8 Nov 96 09:52:39 -0600 Received: from squid.gage.com (squid [158.60.57.101]) by octopus.gage.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA14288; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 09:46:49 -0600 (CST) Received: from schemer by squid.gage.com (NX5.67e/NX3.0S) id AA05682; Fri, 8 Nov 96 09:54:06 -0600 Message-Id: <9611081554.AA05682@squid.gage.com> Received: by schemer.gage.com (NX5.67g/NX3.0X) id AA02130; Fri, 8 Nov 96 09:54:15 -0600 Content-Type: text/plain Mime-Version: 1.0 (NeXT Mail 4.0 v146.2) In-Reply-To: <3282BE3E.5C68@transbay.net> X-Nextstep-Mailer: Mail 3.3 (Enhance 1.3) Received: by NeXT.Mailer (1.146.2) From: Ben Black Date: Fri, 8 Nov 96 09:54:12 -0600 To: ecsd@transbay.net Subject: Re: Routing tables Cc: Josh Mehlman , questions@freebsd.org References: <32811FA0.41C67EA6@oystersoft.com> <9611071527.AA02396@squid.gage.com> <3282BE3E.5C68@transbay.net> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >it's not a question of flow size, it's a question of the availability >or not of the faster link. what? b3n From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 8 09:40:20 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA24995 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 09:40:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from admin.cyberenet.net (root@admin.cyberenet.net [204.213.252.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA24986 for ; Fri, 8 Nov 1996 09:40:13 -0800 (PST) Received: from twwells.com by admin.cyberenet.net with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #7) id m0vLuuZ-000O4zC; Fri, 8 Nov 96 12:40 EST Received: by twwells.com (Smail3.1.29.1 #8) id m0vLut7-0001DRC; Fri, 8 Nov 96 12:38 EST Message-Id: From: bill@twwells.com (T.

Such complexities belong in userland. You build a program that's like "screen", except that its purpose isn't (necessarily) to manage multiple screens but is rather to manage a single screen, while providing audible feedback, and give the user the ability to manipulate the screen as necessary.....

Such complexities belong in userland.

Despite it's officially being positioned as a desktop workstation product, and not being particularly well suited for a high performance multitasking operating system like Linux, the FlashPoint LT has been touted by computer system vendors as the latest thing, and has been sold even on many of their high end systems, to the exclusion of the older MultiMaster products. This has caused grief for many people who inadvertently purchased a system expecting that all BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters were supported by Linux, only to discover that the FlashPoint was not supported and would not be for quite some time, if ever. After this problem was identified, BusLogic contacted its major OEM customers to make sure the BT-946C/956C MultiMaster cards would still be made available, and that Linux users who mistakenly ordered systems with the FlashPoint would be able to upgrade to the BT-946C. While this helped many purchasers of new systems, it was only a partial solution to the overall problem of FlashPoint support for Linux users. It did nothing to assist the people who initially purchased a FlashPoint for a supported operating system and then later decided to run Linux, or those who had ended up with a FlashPoint LT, believing it was supported, and were unable to return it. In the middle of December, I asked to meet with BusLogic's senior management to discuss the issues related to Linux and free software support for the FlashPoint. Rumors of varying accuracy had been circulating publicly about BusLogic's attitude toward the Linux community, and I felt it was best that these issues be addressed directly. I sent an email message after 11pm one evening, and the meeting took place the next afternoon. Unfortunately, corporate wheels sometimes grind slowly, especially when a company is being acquired, and so it's taken until now before the details were completely determined and a public statement could be made. BusLogic is not prepared at this time to release the information necessary for third parties to write drivers for the FlashPoint. The only existing FlashPoint drivers have been written directly by BusLogic Engineering, and there is no FlashPoint documentation sufficiently detailed to allow outside developers to write a driver without substantial assistance. While there are people at BusLogic who would rather not release the details of the FlashPoint architecture at all, that debate has not yet been settled either way. In any event, even if documentation were available today it would take quite a while for a usable driver to be written, especially since I'm not convinced that the effort required would be worthwhile. However, BusLogic does remain committed to providing a high performance SCSI solution for the Linux community, and does not want to see anyone left unable to run Linux because they have a Flashpoint LT. Therefore, BusLogic has put in place a direct upgrade program to allow any Linux user worldwide to trade in their FlashPoint LT for the new BT-948 MultiMaster PCI Ultra SCSI Host Adapter. The BT-948 is the Ultra SCSI successor to the BT-946C and has all the best features of both the BT-946C and FlashPoint LT, including smart termination and a flash PROM for easy firmware updates, and is of course compatible with the present Linux driver. The price for this upgrade has been set at US $45 plus shipping and handling, and the upgrade program will be administered through BusLogic Technical Support, which can be reached by electronic mail at techsup@buslogic.com, by Voice at +1 408 654-0760, or by FAX at +1 408 492-1542. As of 14 June 1996, the original BusLogic FlashPoint LT to BT-948 upgrade program has now been extended to encompass the FlashPoint LW Wide Ultra SCSI Host Adapter. Any Linux user worldwide may trade in their FlashPoint LW (BT-950) for a BT-958 MultiMaster PCI Ultra SCSI Host Adapter. The price for this upgrade has been set at US $65 plus shipping and handling. I was a beta test site for the BT-948/958, and versions 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 of my BusLogic driver already included latent support for the BT-948/958. Additional cosmetic support for the Ultra SCSI MultiMaster cards was added subsequent releases. As a result of this cooperative testing process, several firmware bugs were found and corrected. My heavily loaded Linux test system provided an ideal environment for testing error recovery processes that are much more rarely exercised in production systems, but are crucial to overall system stability. It was especially convenient being able to work directly with their firmware engineer in demonstrating the problems under control of the firmware debugging environment; things sure have come a long way since the last time I worked on firmware for an embedded system. I am presently working on some performance testing and expect to have some data to report in the not too distant future. BusLogic asked me to send this announcement since a large percentage of the questions regarding support for the FlashPoint have either been sent to me directly via email, or have appeared in the Linux newsgroups in which I participate. To summarize, BusLogic is offering Linux users an upgrade from the unsupported FlashPoint LT (BT-930) to the supported BT-948 for US $45 plus shipping and handling, or from the unsupported FlashPoint LW (BT-950) to the supported BT-958 for $65 plus shipping and handling. Contact BusLogic Technical Support at techsup@buslogic.com or +1 408 654-0760 to take advantage of their offer. Leonard N.

Any ideas ? Assuming you have the newest linux_lib package installed (with libc.so.5.3.12 and libm.5.0.6 or later), no. :) That's basically the only thing that could affect quake. Unless -current has changed how linux-elf binaries are run. Has elfbrand made it into the code base yet? Will a linux executable get this far unbranded? If you have a linux machine around, try copying the core file over to it and running gdb on it.

If you are talking X windows, then see man xmodmap for an example for switching the caps lock and ctrl keys. I never use the caps lock and spend too much time trying to deal with different keyboards so I have my system set up so caps lock and the two contrl keys all act like control. This way it works no matter which key I hit. I ended up making the keypad / key (under the Caps lock light) act like the caps lock key.

I wonder if you can help with the following technical question. I am trying to set up 'pppd' to act as a server for a dial-up PC using Windows 95. I haven't got as far as using PAP or CHAP authentication as yet because the connection process is still unreliable. When first run, all seems to be ok. The address of the server side becomes 194.80.51.42, and the address of the remote pc side becomes 194.80.51.45 as expected. A snap-shot of the connection dialog is below. I guess that the unknown protocol refers to the Windows-95 side of things, although it doesn't seem to cause any problem. pppd 2.1.2 started by root, uid 0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyd2 input: Unknown protocol (80fd) received! local IP address 194.80.51.42 remote IP address 194.80.51.45 Connection terminated. When the connection is terminated, and a new connection is initiated the following dialog is seen; pppd 2.1.2 started by root, uid 0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyd2 input: Unknown protocol (80fd) received! local IP address 194.80.51.42 remote IP address 194.80.51.45 ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): Address already exists Connection terminated. The connection terminated occurs when I disconnect the line or tell the Windows-95 system to drop the line. The connection seems to make but neither the server nor the client can communicate. There is no activity seen on the modem either. The only cure I have found is to reboot the server. The following file is the /etc/ppp/options file; crtscts netmask 255.255.255.0 194.80.51.42:194.80.51.45 domain humber.ac.uk passive silent modem proxyarp I run the pppd daemon as a 'getty' using; ttyd2 "/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyd2 19200 -detach" dialup on secure from the /etc/ttys file. I have noted that the arp entry for 194.80.51.45 remains present after the first invocation, and that a second entry appears on the second invoication. Any advice or help on this matter would be most appreciated.

I've got quite a interesting problem, and I don't know where to start. My machine all of a sudden stops responding to commands. The console is still there, and I can switch to various terminals, but anything I type in there shows up, but there is no response from the system. I tried ctrl-alt-del, and the machine did nothing. Nothing has changed on the system, except that it has been moved to another network, and I've re-built my machine since the split of the cvs tree to 2.2 and 3.0 Where do I start in trying to diagnose where the problem lies ? I could always pull RELENG_2_1_0, but want to know if there is some diagnostic procedure. TIA, KHG.

I had a similar problem when using 2.1.0, but upgrading to 2.1.5 fixed the "address already exist" problem. I suggest you enable pppd debugging (include "kdebug 1" and "debug" in separate lines of the options file), in order to see the reason for the connection to terminate. Try to manually dial-in (via Windows95 HyperTerminal), and see if you can get a login prompt. Try using pppd as a login shell instead of a getty, too. I think the getty method is for PAP authenticacion only. One more thing: try using a different username. Maybe root is not allowed to log-in from pseudo-terminals. +-----------------------------------------------+ | Victor Manuel Carranza Gonzalez | | Unidad de Internet/Red Cientifico-Educativa | | Depto. de Procesamiento Electronico de Datos | | Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala -USAC- | | | |e-mail: victor@usac.edu.gt, | |Telefono oficina: (502)4769723 (fax/voz) | | (502)4767719 (voz) | |Telefono casa : (502)4782916 (502)2891037 | +-----------------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Nov 9 08:24:12 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA06768 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 9 Nov 1996 08:24:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from horton.iaces.com ([204.147.87.98]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id IAA06762 for ; Sat, 9 Nov 1996 08:24:09 -0800 (PST) Received: (from proot@localhost) by horton.iaces.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA12525; Sat, 9 Nov 1996 10:24:04 -0600 (CST) From: "Paul T.

The first method (mountd then nfsd) is used if you brought up the machine without anything in exports or nfs_server is set to NO in /etc/sysconfig, and you wanted to add nfs serving to a running machine. The second is if /etc/exports was populated at boot time, and nfs_server was set to YES, and then you wanted to add or subtract filesystems to nfs service. Hope that helps, Paul.

Things that already were running which were not swapped out would still work. My name server still would function, and I was logged in via PPP, and that was still working as I could go out to the world anywhere but to the box I was dialed into.

My machine had all the source rebuilt on it. It was running 2.2-current prior to the tree split, and is now running (although I hate to use that phrase :-) 3.0-current. It also moved locations and ethernet (although I doubt it's those two). I suspect the source rebuild. >Anyone else thing this same thing is happening to them? I am unsure if >all 4 of us are having the same trouble, but it appears to be that way. As an aside, I discovered some things which I added/changed in my kernel which made the machine MUCH more stable (in fact, it's been up for 2 hours, the previous record being 3 minutes. I added options DDB_UNATTENDED <-- sounded useful options KTRACE <-- sounded useful options DIAGNOSTIC <-- what I think is making it work to my kernel, and literally removed everything that wasn't critical, like the drive controller, the drives and the ethernet interface. I also reduced the max windows, etc, etc. It definitely looks like a kernel problem (in my case). I tried it with a generic kernel (a 2.1 generic kernel, in fact), and it appeared stable. It is also quite stable (with a unmodified -current and/or generic kernel) in single user mode - but who wants to be in single user mode ? >FreeBSD 2.1.5-Stable FreeBSD chain.iafrica.com 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #0: Sun Nov 10 00:15:36 SAT 1996 root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/KHETAN-DEBUG i386 >P5-133 >32 Megs ram >Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter >sd0 - Segate ST32430N 2 Gig SCSI drive >sd1 - MICROP 4421-07 2 Gig SCSI drive >sd2 - HP Tape Backup Drive Output from my dmesg : Copyright (c) 1992-1996 FreeBSD Inc.

I would agree, except that I'm running -current, where things like this are supposed to happen. It hasn'thappened before though, and besides for myself, none of you are tracking -current (afaik). It's just frustrating when your make world is finished (succesfully), you reboot and the PC is basically totally unuseable - and it's not a matter of core dumping or libraries being mangled - it's a matter of COMPLETE lack of ability to do anything.
