FreeBSD's f77 is a shell script (compiler driver) for f2c, a portable f77 compiler by S. (Stu) Feldman, AT&T. (Obtainable from research.att.com - may be now netlib.att.com://netlib/f2c) Stop, it is no longer a shell script, Jonas Olsen has written/modified the gnu f77 compiler driver (f77.c) to use f2c as the systems fortran compiler. I'm using it for several years now to port large fortran projects to different platforms and it is IMHO 'the standard' - I haven't seen any better f77 compiler yet with regard to language definition trueness and also what bugs is concerned. It has really been thrown at any kind of ugly fortran/fortranIV code through a period of a decade or so and I would say it is some kind of 99.99% bug free. The latter you cannot say for g77 (gnu fortran) which still needs some time for bugs to be shaken out. I cannot speak about code compactness here but I don't see any redundance in what f2c is doing, namely converting f77 to C and then compiling the result by GNU C or some other C compiler since the data structures are quite the same whether it be C structs or fortran commons. Maybe a 'true' fortran compiler can be a bit better at optimization. But remember, it will take some time until g77 reaches the quality of f2c and I wouldn't vote for making g77 the default f77 compiler for FreeBSD for the above reasons. > where /usr/bin/f77's sources are.

Date: Sun, 04 Feb 1996 04:03:53 -0800 From: Darryl Okahata Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Does anyone know which EISA SCSI controller is the "most stable" under FreeBSD 2.1R? I need to replace my 1542CF with some EISA controller, and I'd like to know what I should get. Normally, I'd just get an Adaptec 2742. However, the 2940 driver in 2.1R supposedly has problems, and the same ahc driver seems to be used for the 2742. I'm worried about the stability of the 2742/ahc driver in 2.1R. Does anyone have any experience with the Buslogic 747? Is it more stable than the 2742 under 2.1R? [ I wish I could get something based on an NCR 810 or somesuch, but I don't have any PCI slots.

If you don't want to get a 2742, get a 1742. If you can't find a 1742, get a bt747. The 2742 has 1/3rd the command overhead of the 1742 and does tagged queueing. The 2742 has 1/5th the command overhead of the bt747 and even though the bt747 may support tagged queueing, our driver does not. The 2742 is by far the best EISA controller we support, but if upgrading the 2.1-STABLE is not an option, then pick one of the other two controllers. The ahc driver in 2.1-STABLE is, as the name implies, much more stable. :) > Thanks, > -- Darryl Okahata > Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com > >DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not >constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the >little green men that have been following him all day. > -- Justin T.

It says in the manual of the disk manager that it will not work with Unix systems. So, I decided to test out FreeBSD with the 528MB limit and not use the rest of the space (about 300MB). When I use the fdisk program supplied in your boot disk I make the modifications I need to (I am dedicating the whole drive to FreeBSD) and I hit 'W' to write the partition info. Then it goes through a series of menus (the bootup menu, I selected MBR; and then it says the partition info has been written successfully, and I hit enter). It then says writing partition info to drive 'wd0'. It then locks on that. I have let it sit for over 7 hours like that and it still just sits there. So I then hit escape and that just gave a beep. Then I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and it said 'Are you sure you wish to cancel the installation?'. I then said no and it went back to writing the partition info to drive wd0. When I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del again I hit yes on cancelling the installation and it reboots (which I assume is normal). I can't get past this stage of it locking when writing the partition info to drive wd0 and at this point I have switched no disks. I have tried all three types of installation (Novice, Express, and Custom) and all of them lock. What can I do to fix this problem? If this question was directed to the wrong place please let me know where to send it (help@freebsd.org, support@freebsd.org, ???).

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Howdy, It seems that every time I want to get something from the port collection (ok not everytime - I have gotten 1 port to work) the 'make' or 'make install' bombs because of some file missing (usually in the X directories). My original installation was the Kern Developers package from the install menu. Every time it bombs I try to trace down the missing files and copy them from the 'live' disk (enmass from the missing subdirectory). But it just doesn't seem to help - the process bombs somewhere else. The ports I have been trying to get are: emacs - why do I need X to run this? apsfilter - ok X for ghostscript ,for fonts ,for ...... ghostscript - ? Xfree86 (maybe not the name but you know what I mean) I have copied over the entire X11 subdirectory and any files that the errors mention (too numereous to enumerate - so don't give me any hassle) This is getting tedious to say the least. Do I just need to wipe the whole thing clean (with 2 months of work) and reinstall the second option - Xfree + all source??? My HD is filling up with files I don't want and space is getting cramped. I would just like a nice stable system to do some basic text processing not an X environment. The only port I've been sucessful at is 'joe' - Everything else seems to need X. WHY?

I doubt that your diagnostic software tests for cache coherency during busmastering DMA. This is most likely your problem - a bug in the motherboard.

I have also been able to install packages by writing the packages from floppy to a preexisting file system and installing them from there. I am only now gaining experience as my own system admin, so the more menu driven stuff I have, the better. The problem is that the files for installing X-Windows are often more that what can fit on a standard 1.44MB floppy. So I would like to, if possible, gunzip and "detar" them in DOS, rearrange them to fit on a floppy, put them in a preexisting file system on my base distribution (putting them back into their original configurations) and installing them from there. What I need to know is can I reenter the installation process non-destructively to my preexisting base distribution and just install X and kernel sources from there? I guess comments from somebody with a good familiarity with the novice installation process would be appreciated. Also, could you tell me which files are the only ones necessary for kernel sources and where they should go? I need to reconfigure my kernel to support a PS/2 mouse and right now I have no sources. I would like to avoid installing all sources since they take up too much space. Thank You. Sincerely, J.

Let's guess, your modem doesn't have a 'real' 16550 on it, but instead one of those _STUPID_ UART emulations. In the sioproble() function, uncomment all the changes you made (that's not the solution). At each of the EXTRA DELAY comments, insert a line reading DELAY(5000); This may help your bogus modem to catch up. The real solution is to sell it to some Windows-using sucker and buy a real modem. > Eric Eiseman -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "wherever you go, there you are" - Buckaroo Banzai [[ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 4 19:35:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id TAA27129 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 4 Feb 1996 19:35:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au [129.127.96.120]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA27110 for ; Sun, 4 Feb 1996 19:35:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from msmith@localhost by genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (8.6.12/8.6.9) id NAA05953; Mon, 5 Feb 1996 13:23:02 +1030 From: Michael Smith Message-Id: <199602050253.NAA05953@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: Very odd keyboard problems.

I just got the sources to the 1.0 release Friday, but I don't forsee having any time to do anything in the next couple weeks due to some unforseen workload which occurred.

If I remember correctly, getting the PS/2 Mouse (psm0) working requires some kernel hacking, specifically removing the existence test from the appropriate source file. Check the questions archive and see if you can find the original message(s). I DO hope this is fixed for 2.2-current.

Main problem is that the BIOS can't address past 1024 cylinders (~528MB), unless you have an EIDE disk controller (Promise, CMD, etc), and guessing by the above you don't. Now, FreeBSD will be perfectly happy, since it doesn't use the BIOS to use the disk. Your DOS partition is going to have to be < 528MB for FreeBSD to boot. (is that right people?)

I've used both, and much prefer Elm. As an SA, I try to use all kinds of mailers to see what's best for my users (and to know a little of what there using). Since '87, I've always gone back to elm. I compiles quite easily on FreeBSD, you just need to ftp it first and put it in your /usr/ports/distfiles. Actually, I'd recommend getting 2.4 PL25 and just running configure. What I don't understand is why pine can be in the distfiles and elm can't.

Yes, we have seen and discuss the problem and agreed to disagree about the problem. Here a description what happens: It is all about out_of_band data (claimed not to exist in TCP/IP) or urgent data. The idea of OOB (I use the for short hand) are suppose to do queue hopping to send a signal to the other side to stop it doing something - most often sending data. The problem is that the current implementations only marks a single OOB character on the recieve side while typically more than one byte is send, which work fine when your data stream is a single TCP connection. However, the moment you go through a proxie you have more than one TCP connection (it happens in al sorts of connection relaying) whith the result that the OOB get stuck, or lost or incomplete because the relay can only get one charackter. Both the transmitting and recieving sides are behaving "wrong" - the quotes indicates that some believe it is right - when handling OOB or urgent data. The specs are however unclear and will most likely remain so:). The full behaviour can easily be detected when you run a simple telnet or ftp relay with tcpdump on both sides. When you pres CNTL-C a chunck, more than one byte (see note), is send while only one is relayed - that is with the trivial implementation. Telnet uses an escape character and a control character and this pair is often split with the result that the one side goes out of sync and wait forever. ftp does it in a more spectacular manner:). note: The TCP packet format contains a field Urgent pointer that points to the fitst octet following urgent data..."and allows the receiver to determine how much urgent data is coming". This can be interpret in two ways: urgent pointer = amount of urgent data or (1) urgent data <= amount of urgent data (2) Case one is the case I make, case to leaves the implementation of OOB or urgent data in TCP at the mercy of the applications:(.

First, my SyQuest drive. I have an EZ135 here at work (Solaris 2.5), and I take it home to put on my FreeBSD system. I used to have Solaris x86 and the drive worked, but had to have PC partitions on it, so sharing between Sparc and x86 was impossible. Now, I was installing a stand alone FreeBSD machine here at work and it was asking me if I wanted to by-pass partitions and just go straight to the disk. Is it possible to do that for second drives? FreeBSD sees the /SyQuest drive, but I can't get it to mount. Ultimately, I'd like to get another SyQuest for home and just transport the disks. Is this possible? Second, I found on the net, a program called plan. It's a datebook/ calendar manager program. It looks pretty nice. I'm almost ready to drop calendar manager (Solaris) in favor of it. I have immediate application for it at home on FreeBSD, unfortunately, it won't compile on FreeBSD (yet) because it requires Motif (on order). It compiled easily on Solaris, and looks good. It's also in binary on SunSite for Linux. I grabbed that copy and installed Linux compatibility in my kernel, but when I run it, the linux version thinks its 1/1/70. So, has anybody either 1) compiled plan on FreeBSD (with Motif) or 2) got the linux version to work right? Paul. -- Paul T.

IP Masquerading is a technique, currently in an unsupported alpha stage of Linux kernels, for establishing a private IP 'subrange' of addresses located on a Lan beyond the firewalling router (via 'ipfw' command). This makes possible to set up a network without an official or actually Internet-routed addressing scheme, thus relying on the sub-addressing capability of the so said IP masquerading functionality inside the router. The nodes being masqueraded have their own private IP network, possibly in the sense of RFC 1597, fully participating and communicating with the external connected Internet. The only restrictions is about the managed protocols: for now telnet and http only, ftp and more generally ICMP not yet or not possible. As far as I know, IP masquerading is something unique, and not available in any commercial Unix or not-Unix OS. Now, IP masquerading is true for Linux, and quite proven to work in my own trials, but my question is about freeBSD, wondering whether the same kind of support is or will be planned in the future. Also, ptroot@uswest.com wrote: >Try > ifconfig [adapter] alias [ip address] > Indeed I've not tried yet. However, being not sure about what IP alias really means, I think that IP masquerading is a a different thing than IP aliasing, the latter entailing some IP 'true' address to be centrally released anyway, though aliased. I will check out as soon as possible.

In IP masquerading, one machine connects to the world via some kind of connection. It then allows the other hosts on its own network to use it as a router without subnetting. I haven't really looked at it, but I'd guess that it just uses a set of higher outgoing ports on the "router" to connect to the remote computer, and then sends packets that arrive on those higher ports back to the original sender. There's something similar available for windows as well. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.

Actually, this isn't what he's talking about. The Linux implementation of IPFW includes some kernel mods that let a firewall translate (masquerade) "outgoing" requests, so that the packets have the firewall's IP address, and then retranslates the responses so that they get to the correct machine/port. The 1.2.X is limited to protocols that don't imbed the IP address in the handshaking, but the 1.3.X kernels reportedly work even for non-passive FTP. Basically, for WWW, Telnet, and passive FTP, this lets any application pass through the firewall without knowing the firewall is there, the firewalled workstations think of the firewall as just the default router. Our firewall allows the two internal networks unrestricted access to each other, and masqueraded connections to the rest of the internet (this is important, as the people that set up the network chose arbitrary network addresses for one of the internal nets before I got here, and neither net has "real" addresses. So basically, in order to break into our internal networks, which due to some dedicated hardware that doesn't allow for passwords, can't be secure, someone will need to find a way to take over the firewall, which will be dificult, since it only listens to a handfull of ports, none interactive (time and the like). Works quite well, except for FTP sites that don't allow passive transfers. In fact, that's how I get and send mail through the firewall to be on this list. Masqueraded connections to our external mail server using SMTP/POP3 (can't SMTP in for reasons that are obvious, if I've explained this properly). This "feature" is the only reason I'm using Linux on the firewall machine. Well, that and how easy it was to configure 4 NE2000's. Not even a kernel recompile.

There are some other configuration things you can do with a mouse, but they aren't usually necessary. -Matt ----- Matt White Production Director, WRCT Pittsburgh 88.3fm Email: mwhite+@cmu.edu http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/mwhite/www/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 5 10:40:25 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA16386 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Feb 1996 10:40:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from gvr.win.tue.nl (root@gvr.win.tue.nl [131.155.210.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA16381 for ; Mon, 5 Feb 1996 10:40:18 -0800 (PST) Received: by gvr.win.tue.nl (8.6.10/1.53) id TAA16651; Mon, 5 Feb 1996 19:40:09 +0100 From: guido@gvr.win.tue.nl (Guido van Rooij) Message-Id: <199602051840.TAA16651@gvr.win.tue.nl> Subject: gated hacker wanted!

I am trying to solve a problem. I have a machine with multiple interfaces. Underneath is the for my problme relevant part of gated.conf. ed3 is configured with adres 194.151.68.1, netmask 0xfffffe00. What I like is that gated sends out rip packets containing entries for both 194.151.68.0 and 194.151.69.0, both metric 1. In the setup below, it will only do that for 194.151.68.0. I know that this is normal because it wants to send out the routing entry on the gateway itself, and the netmaks gets lost. I would like to think that it should be possible to configure gated in such a way that you just enter these two routing entries in the static section. However, then nothing is send. How can this be done? -Guido # our interfaces should never be timed out interfaces { interface 192.168.1.2 passive ; interface ed3 passive ; } ; # configuration for rip protocols rip yes { # tell the world about our routes broadcast; # metric for non rip routes defaultmetric 1; # which routing info do we accept interface 192.168.1.2 ripout version 1; interface ed3 ripin ripout version 1; } ; static { default gateway 192.168.1.3 retain; 131.155 gateway 192.168.1.1 retain; # TUE 194.151.68 mask 255.255.254.0 gateway 194.151.68.1 retain; } ; # what should we export export proto rip interface 192.168.1.2 { proto direct { 194.151.68.0 mask 255.255.254.0 metric 1; #194.151.69.0 mask 255.255.255.0 refine metric 1; #194.151.69.0 metric 1; } ; proto static { #194.151.68.0 metric 2; #194.151.69.0 metric 2; } ; } ; From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 5 10:51:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA16840 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Feb 1996 10:51:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from chemserv.umd.edu (chemserv.umd.edu [129.2.64.40]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA16835 for ; Mon, 5 Feb 1996 10:51:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from espresso.eng.umd.edu (espresso.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.13]) by chemserv.umd.edu (8.7.3/8.7) with ESMTP id NAA04241 for ; Mon, 5 Feb 1996 13:51:32 -0500 (EST) Received: (chuckr@localhost) by espresso.eng.umd.edu (8.7.3/8.6.4) id NAA06992; Mon, 5 Feb 1996 13:51:02 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 5 Feb 1996 13:50:27 -0500 (EST) From: Chuck Robey X-Sender: chuckr@espresso.eng.umd.edu To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Underlining Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Does anyone know how to get underlining using groff/postscript?

This doesn't sound sane at all ! I've got one myself, and since it doesn't have to do thermal recals (because being of the embedded servo type), there really should be NO such noises! You could try the "handshake timeout" patch, which was necessary for some scanners and CD-R writers. It disables the SCSI phase timeout of 1.6 seconds, which was too short for those devices. It is in fact possible, that your drive has some hardware problems, and locks up for a few seconds trying to recover from them. The patch might help in that case, but this would make a hardware problem even more probable ... (BTW: The handshake timeout of 1.6 seconds had been in the NCR driver for quite a long time, and 2.1R had it as well as 2.0.5R ...)

It makes it bigger and it makes a GPL'ed component (the Linux shared libraries) part of the default -- and that's a bad thing. If you choose to install the Linux compatability from the CDROM (or via FTP), you effectively do what you are asking about anyway.

The reserve typically cause what is (effectively) a hash-to-disk in the block allocation algorithm to operate at optimal efficiency. The side effect that allows root to ignore this is an issue of administrative fiat, not an issue of "holding reserve for root". See Knuth, "Sorting and Searching" on hash efficiency.

Right, but that's at least partially because there haven't been any major distributions with ELF support (and partially because ELF support was so shaky) The Linux "core" is pretty adamant that ELF is the format of the future and a.out is dead (or at least they were a couple months ago before I trashed my Linux partitions and switched to FreeBSD :-) I'd guess that, barring major problems, ELF will be the default format when Slackware, etc. ship a 1.4.x-based distribution and that Netscape et al will convert to ELF a year or two after that... > IMO, increasing percentages will run as more Linux-native apps are also > distributed native for BSD.

It's called "proxy". It's not "masquerading" because you can't set up incoming FTP requests (for instance) to one of the proxied machines. The "correct BSD way" of implementing this would be to provide a packet forwarding daemon that used the tunneling device to do it's thing. Linux's "masquerading" is a _hack_ to get around getting your ISP to route you correctly because you are silly enough to buy ISP services from someone who charges for router entries. Or because you are too cheap to acquire a subnet registration. There is *no way* to implement this type of thing and remain in strict compliance with the RFC's. > Basically, for WWW, Telnet, and passive FTP, this lets any application > pass through the firewall without knowing the firewall is there, the > firewalled workstations think of the firewall as just the default router. Using a local interface and tunneling on the "clients" to a "socks" connection to the firewall would be yet another alternate implementation: one that in fact would be nearly-legal, at least as long as all connections are outgoing. This has the advantage of working for active protocols without packet twiddling, since you can have the client assign sockets *after* the socks assignment on the server for the port grab. You *should* implement the local subnet as an unrouted network (one of the reserved subnets for doing exactly this) if you write the tunnel-to-socks daemon for the client machines.

And, should I get one of these jewels, should I immediately, if not sooner, upgrade to 2.1-STABLE? Enquiring minds want to know! A second question for the group: a few mail-order houses are carrying the 2842 sans EZ-SCSI software, for about $40 discount. Other vendors tell me they shouldn't be doing this. My local hardware house often carries Adaptec kits w/o EZ-SCSI, but not in the 2842. Should I go ahead and buy from these guys who don't feel it necessary to sell me software I don't want or need? ;^) -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffett From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 5 22:03:16 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA00870 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 5 Feb 1996 22:03:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from crh.cl.msu.edu (crh.cl.msu.edu [35.8.1.24]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA00865 for ; Mon, 5 Feb 1996 22:03:14 -0800 (PST) Received: (from henrich@localhost) by crh.cl.msu.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id BAA08846 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 6 Feb 1996 01:03:12 -0500 From: Charles Henrich Message-Id: <199602060603.BAA08846@crh.cl.msu.edu> Subject: Static routes for multiple subnets?

All you need is to set a default (static) route pointing to your ISP's gateway. As to the timeout's, check the value of "timeout" in /etc/ppp.conf. If none exists, add one by entering a line "set timeout ", where is the number in SECONDS to keep the connection alive beforre killing it. 0 means forever.

If you want to play with the root filesystem, you will have to boot single-user. Then, run the command: tunefs -m /dev/rsd0a (or /dev/rwd0a, or whatever the special device is) Replace with the percentage of total disk space to save for root.

The failures occur only under high load, as seems to be the case for you, too.

I am a new FreeBSD user and installed it on my machine without a hitch the first time. While adding new hardware for my Windows 95 partition, I must have done something wrong because when rebooting off the FreeBSD partition I got some errors in the vm... modules and a memory fault error. After trying some more things, including changing the CMOS settings, I decided that the best strategy would be to delete the FreeBSD partition and reinstall the whole thing. Everything is going great during the reinstall until it tries to unpack some of the /bin files. I jump to the other screen (ALT-F2) to see what is going on. The computer is spitting out this error: wd0a: hard error reading fsbn 1036 of 1036-1039 (wd0 bn 1036; cn 0 tn 16 sn 28) wd0: status 61error It does this for the remaining bin.xx files that it tries to read from the CDROM. I do the natural thing and try to repeat the process paying closer attention to the errors. During the initial part of the install I briefly saw on the screen something about cpio trying to reinstall one of the rwd0xxx devices, but that there was a newer version or something like that. I'm not sure if this helps. Please advise me of how I should proceed. Do I need to change some BIOS settings? Do I need to return the HD?

Apache requires a unique IP for each virtual server that you have running. Someone brought up something about one of the commercial OSs/Servers being able to do this, but I don't recall which it was (AIX maybe? *shrug*) Nobody confirmed or denied it though Marc G.

You will need to update to -current. The JAVA choking is a result of the signal handling. It's fixed in -current, though I'm not sure about delivery-to-parent of SIGCHLD, since that wasn't working a week ago (the processes weren't reaped because of the Linux signal trampoline support for JAVA NetScape, specifically).

This is the only way to make each server look like it is on its own machine. NetScape used to translate names in the URL to their cannonical address unless there was a trailing slash. I don't know how you could force all pages and hotlists referring to you to keep the trailing slash, or if NetScape even does this any more (let alone other browsers). If you could, then you could compare the incoming reference as a string. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de Well, no other programs seem to have any problems, but I haven't made an exhaustive search. I'm not sure how an illegal instruction core dump could be caused by an install problem, but here goes: 30 megs swap. /tmp is fine. 2.0.5. Installed from cd-rom under dos (from dos filesystem). Happens editing any file whenever I do a "w" or "W", either by themselves to move the cursor or in an editing command like "cw". Happened under generic kernel as well as customized one. Multi-user mode. Fielsystems check fine. Hardware ok as far as I know (new WD 1280 drive, never had memory problems). I didn't bother debugging the core since I thought for sure this must be a known problem. If it isn't, I'll just have to investigate.

The problem comes from a shortcoming in the http protocol itself; the base site name is not forwarded to the host when the http query is made. This is because the CERN/UIUC folks way back a few years ago, when they invented http thought that noone would ever want to do that, I guess... Again, nothing you can do on the server end will help except for multiple IP addresses!!! (well, you can kluge it like a lot of providers do with http://provider.name/~site but it sounds like you don't want to do that; another way involves CNAMEs and a chooser page but that's a kluge too). Fixing this would require EVERY BROWSER IN THE WORLD to be fixed; there is room in the http protocol for that request (proxies use it) but the default is to not do it... A revision to the http protocol would have to be backward compatible for a few years, anyhow, so the fix would be long in coming. Multiple IP addrs aren't really a big problem if you're a provider. They would be if you pay for each one, or aren't on a routed subnet. I have a freebsd apache server with 19 aliases on it now; it still works just fine, though our request rate is still fairly low (about 100/hr total files on average over January; most requests were for two of the (sub)-sites. Samples -- www.ci.diamond-bar.ca.us, www.turkeyrack.com (really :-), www.macom-phi.com, and several others. These are on a P120 with 64mb of ram and "lots" of disk, primarily running inn and httpd; also serving as a primary or secondary name server for a bunch of domains.. Just on general principles, we are planning to split the web and news services; a P120 can easily keep up with a T1 doing all of this so we don't really need to split them up (but it takes *lots* of ram to keep the response times reasonable, especially if you want to run X on the console too). -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 6 12:29:27 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA08426 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Feb 1996 12:29:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from pluto.ee.cua.edu (pluto.ee.cua.edu [136.242.140.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA08420 for ; Tue, 6 Feb 1996 12:29:25 -0800 (PST) Received: (from cofie@localhost) by pluto.ee.cua.edu (8.6.12/8.6.9) id PAA17766 for questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 6 Feb 1996 15:08:10 -0500 Date: Tue, 6 Feb 1996 15:08:10 -0500 From: Emmanuel Cofie Message-Id: <199602062008.PAA17766@pluto.ee.cua.edu> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: mosaic Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have been trying to compile mosaic on freebsd without much success Has nayone succeeded in doing that?

You must observe the "due credit" clause of the UCB license when you advertise specific features. See the source files that implement the features you are interested in advertising. You can't advertise that derivation implies endoresement. For GPL'ed components, you must not include them, or you must observe the GPL license restrictions -- though *only* for those components. There are kernel modules that are GPL. They must not be linked into the distributed kernel. Specifically, there is a German ISDN driver. No GPL components are required to build a working system. Basically this boils down to: 1) Rip out, replace, or include source for, GPL'ed components. For instance, you should use BSD PAX instead of GNU TAR if you plan on distributing completely without source, since tar is used for installation and package management. 2) If you advertise specific features, you must give credit to the authors of those features. For instance, if you advertise a unified VM and buffer cache, you have to creadit the people in /sys/vm/*.[ch] in the fine print without implying that they endorse your product (John Dyson & company). 3) You have to include the credit clauses for everyone in the sources for the components you use. This should take one or two pages of fine print (like the trademark acknowledgement page) in your distributed docuemntation. Anyone else: feel free to correct me if you interpret the distribution terms differently.

The PC hardware is as follows: AMD 486DX2 80 MHz processor, Western Digital 325 MB IDE hard drive on a VLB controller, Conner 1.08 GB Fast SCSI-II hard drive on an Adaptec 1542CP controller, 3.5 and 5.25 floppies run on the Adaptec controller, Zoltrix 14.4 modem connected to the VLB I/O card with 16550 UART chips, a serial mouse, a 1MB VRAM ISA video card running a 15" SVGA monitor, and a Colorado 250 MB tape backup run off the Adaptec Controller. I want to leave my IDE hard drive as the boot drive for now, but will eventually migrate my DOS software to the SCSI drive, remove the IDE drive, and I may even remove DOS from this machine altogether. So I partitioned the SCSI drive with a 384 MB DOS partition and made it active. I disabled the Adaptec controller's BIOS and control the SCSI drive with drivers provided by Adaptec. I downloaded the 'boot.flp' image and installed it onto a 3.5" floppy with rawrite.exe. I rebooted the machine and proceeded with the Novice installation. I chose to install release 2.1 on the SCSI drive, set the media as FTP (primary site), left the ftp login as 'ftp' and 'anonymous', created a FreeBSD partition on the 644MB of space left on the drive, and let the Disk Label Editor use the default 'A' selection. I connected to my host provider (UC Berkeley's shared high speed terminal service) and switched back to tty1. The sysinstall program responded with "Cannot resolve hostname 'ftp.freebsd.org'! Are you sure that your name server, gateway and network interface are configured?" I tried several options on settings before giving up on the attempt for that night. The first problem I discovered was that my C drive would not boot. I installed a system disk and found that the primary DOS partition had been made inactive (probably from requesting the "booteasy" boot manager.) I used fdisk to make it active again and it boots fine now. Why do I get the message "Cannot resolve hostname 'ftp.freebsd.org'!" ? I found that manual connection to your ftp site prefers the login parameters of 'anonymous' and my email 'ocasey@ttauri.UGAstro.Berkeley.EDU' (case sensitive) so I reset the Options Editor to reflect this. I have set the network configuration parameters of hostname, Domain name, Gateway, Name server, and IP address to ocasey.hip.berkeley.edu and the IP numbers given to me by the campus sysadmin. When this did not work, I tried replacing hostname with 'ftp.freebsd.org'. This did not work either. How much manual negotiation should be performed when establishing the connection before returning to tty1? I have tried several options including connecting to the campus terminal server, connecting and negotiating the ppp account (userid and pword), and ignoring ppp but connecting to my Astronomy account and starting an ftp connection. I always get the same error message that 'ftp.freebsd.org' cannot be resolved. When the sysintall program terminates, I can see a screen of DEBUG comments. They read 'Generating /etc/fstab file', 'Init routine called for network device cuaa1', and 'Shutdown called for network device cuaa1'. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.

The Replies: >From Mark Diekhans -------------------------------------- I can do this, but my laptop is not here right now. However, let me suggest getting a laplink parallel cable because its easier to configure and its a LOT faster. It should only cost you about $9.00. There is a driver that sends TCP/IP over bi-directional parallel ports. If you are getting messages something like: Jan 17 23:50:20 osprey /kernel: lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa Jan 17 23:50:20 osprey /kernel: lpt0: Interrupt-driven port Jan 17 23:50:20 osprey /kernel: lp0: TCP/IP capable interface you should be set kernel wise. You need to create entries in /etc/host assiging each machine a fake IP address. I have given them 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2. You can also configure named if you want, but start with /etc/hosts. See documentation in that file. For each machine, you need to have /etc/sysconfig contain the information to configure the interface. On my 10.0.0.1 machine, it has: network_interfaces="lo0 lp0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_lp0="inet 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2" in the network interfaces area. The addresses are reversed on the other machine. Reboot both machines and ping. >From /sys/i386/isa/lpt.c ------------------------ * Connect the two computers using a Laplink parallel cable to use this * feature: * * +----------------------------------------+ * |A-name A-End B-End Descr.

All using the same server/machine, then you do: 1) get a seperate IP address for each domain (seperate from the machine's current IP address). 2) edit /etc/sysconfig, remove the 'ifconfig_xxx' line for your ethernet defice. i.e. if you use 'ed0' then it may look like: +------- network_interfaces="ed0 lo0" ifconfig_ed0="inet 199.104.90.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" +------- Change it to: +------- network_interfaces="ed0 lo0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" +------- Then create /etc/start_if.xxx, where 'xxx' is your device (i.e. start_if.ed0 in the example above). Doing this basically lets you handle setting it up by hand. 'start_if.xxx' should setup the network, and can be something like: +------- #!/bin/sh # Initial configuration ifconfig ed1 inet netmask 255.255.255.0 # Aliases ifconfig ed1 alias netmask 255.255.255.255 [other aliases] +------- From there config apache, edit conf/httpd.conf and add something like: +------- ServerAdmin webmaster@aliasname DocumentRoot root for domain ServerName aliasname +------- All of the above are sketchy.

Actually, the 'problem' has nothing to do with http whatsoever. The 'problem' is that when you get an opened TCP connection the ONLY information you have is the IP address, you get the name by calling the named and doing a reverse lookup. Since all IP addresses can only have one authoritative name (additional names are aliases/cnames), you will not know if the other end pointed to your machine with 'www.foo.com' or 'www.bar.com'. HOWEVER, your machine can handle more than one IP address, which is how it figures out that you are pointing to another 'site'. Admittedly you could add to the HTTP protocol so the client tells the server what the client thinks the server's name is, but this would be horridly redundant, in general its best to distribute the load and put different domains on different machines, a 486DX unix box can be hacked together for virtually nothing. > another way involves CNAMEs and a chooser page but that's a kluge too). uhh, yeah, right. > I have a freebsd apache server with 19 aliases on it now; it still > works just fine, though our request rate is still fairly low (about 100/hr > total files on average over January; most requests were for two of the > (sub)-sites.

You should probably talk to your network admin before going any farther and get information. If you don't know your IP you aren't going anywhere with tcpip. You need IP, Netmask, gateway/router, computer name, etc. When you go set it up, you'll use ifconfig to configure your ethernet card. do ``man ifconfig'' or look at the ifconfig_xxx line in /etc/sysconfig (xxx=your ethernet card device name) for examples.

Wrong two ways 1. Apache doesn't do reverse lookups for this purpose. Neither does innd; reverse lookups are very expensive. Look at the apache startup code; wonder, for example, why it cores when a virtual domain is not in the *forward* nameserver yet (the sig 11 is a pure mistake, but it does show how they handle virtual hosts)... (and in the innd case, why you have to reload hosts.nntp whenever you change it...) Both of these do *only* forward lookups. 2. http could present the request as GET //site.domain/file but instead it presents it as GET /file Note that http clients all do this already for proxys; it isn't much of an extension to have them do it for all requests. >Since all IP addresses can only have > one authoritative name (additional names are aliases/cnames), you will > not know if the other end pointed to your machine with 'www.foo.com' or > 'www.bar.com'.

That is not the *real* problem. http could very easily have been formulated to handle this problem but the originators of http never thought it would explode into what it has :-) If the original problem statement had included shared servers it would probably have had the requested hostname included by default. It wouldn't really be that redundant (see next)... I know all the TCP stuff, and that cnames don't show. Remember that all TCP packets have at least 40 bytes of junk at the start, not counting the link-layer overhead. a domain name wouldn't be *that* much more. (and VJ compression doesn't help widely-spaced requests very much.) Just for interest, http/html was invented by a bunch of high-energy physicists (at CERN and UIUC) to pass papers around the net in a nicer way than email. (*really*) Since papers all reference each other (where's the original research come from, anyhow :-) the hypertext aspects were thrown in to make this easier.

Look at http://www.caves.org/ among others... If you check with nslookup it is a pointer directly to an iquest server's primary address, not an alias. popmail is an even worse problem; it was *never* meant for what most isp's use it for these days. Talk about mixing domains... [btw - The actual pages are http://www.caves.org/~nss] > > One comment: keep the aliases to a minimum when virtual hosting, too many > can really slow down networking. That's why it is a P120 :-) At least one isp I've heard from in passing on another freebsd list has about 400 aliases and still nicely keeps up with a T1 (no, I don't remember who; I think he's in germany). -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 6 14:43:43 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA19761 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 6 Feb 1996 14:43:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from psiint.com (vv.psiint.com [204.189.53.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA19756 for ; Tue, 6 Feb 1996 14:43:39 -0800 (PST) Received: by psiint.com (8.6.12/4.03) id OAA54912; Tue, 6 Feb 1996 14:43:23 -0800 Date: Tue, 6 Feb 1996 14:43:22 -0800 (PST) From: Dave Walton To: ian_stewart@nyro.com cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Can FreeBSD be used in a commercial way?

If you follow the steps outlined in the Copyright, you can indeed sell it. You could even package up a binary distribution (removing all of the parts which don't allow binary-only distributions) and call is PCOS and be perfectly within your rights.

No, it's just that most people don't even bother to respond to messages like yours anymore, messages of the ilk "I can't install this because you guys are too stupid to make an installation program that just does what I want it to. Never mind that you're giving this away, YOU OWE ME AN INSTALLATION PROGRAM THAT WORKS THE WAY I WANT IT TO."

So don't install any X apps, and stop whining about it! This is the crux of the issue I have with your mail message: the 'average' FreeBSD user, whom the sysinstall program was created for, *does* want to run X. The packages for Emacs and other applications you whined about were built for this 'average' user. If you want something different, something custom, you're free to do that, but NOBODY IN FREEBSD-LAND *OWES* YOU AN INSTALLTION CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR NEEDS, SO STOP DEMANDING ONE! If you want an emacs that doesn't depend on X, take the time to read the INSTALL instructions that come with emacs, figure out that you have to configure --with-x=no, and build it. Install it. Be happy. But don't criticize someone else for building the 'package' version --with-x just because that's not what you want. > X is nice - but you really don't > need it.

Perhaps *YOU* don't need it, but I do. The reason I ftp'd 386bsd in the first place was to develop X applications; this is pretty tough to do without X. You are given the choice, if you would simply take the time to read the installation instructions, rather than running the default installation, which assumes you will be running X and behaves accordingly. > Or, perhaps if the installation program installed the shared libraies > instead of making you install (and I know that this is going to be > flamed) a pretty, 3-D shell then perhaps we would be less iritated.

Or, perhaps if you'd do it yourself, after reading the instructions, rather than *demanding* someone else *donate to you* the time to fix the installation program to do it how *you* want it, rather than the average user! > By the way - I have looked at the CD.

Funny, I have a perfectly workable FreeBSD installation running on a 386sx/16, with 5 Meg RAM and a 100 Meg disk.

Sorry, but wrong. You *can* sell it. What you can't sell is some of the Copyright Walnut Creek CDROM code on the CDROM for doing installation. The ability to sell it is *intentional* in the use of the UCB copyright. We would be perfectly happy (I think I speak for most of us) if all the System V vendors in the world started selling FreeBSD instead. I think it's the collective opinion that if this happened, there would still be significant benefit to the vendors rolling their changes back to the main line source tree (for anything but packaging). This is true because it's likely that a vendor who repackaged the product with hardware or their own software would want to take advanatage of changes put into the main tree, as well as leveraging the net and lists for support. Consider: if you as a vendor made a fix to, say, the SIO driver, and you didn't donate the fix back, there would be a rapidly diverging source base from where you got your code cut. With each rev in the main source line of the affected files, your ability to integrate is lessened. In general, 500 volunteers can cause more changes than a small group of paid employees. 8-). Unless you want to freeze at a particular rev or deal with geometrically increasing update conflicts, you donate back. It's good business sense. But the decision is not forced: you can in fact sell everything but the GPL'ed pieces (and you can exclude them or give them away).

There are essentially two licenses that you need to work with. The majority of FreeBSD is licensed under the BSD-style license, which essentially says that you must acknowledge the original authors of the work in your printed documentation, and that neither your use of the work nor your acknowledgement of the authors can be used as promotional material. The second, and more problematic, license is the GPL. This effectively requires that you provide the source code to certain parts of the system. (Most notably the C compiler, assembler and linker, as well as a number of other tools. These are kept in a seperate part of the source tree, so you can look in /usr/src/gnu/ and see what's involved.) A good lawyer would be able to tell you more, but essentially apart from the provision of source code to parts of the system, and acknowledging the origins of the rest of it, there aren't any other licensing requirements. > Ian H.

Huesch) Subject: help Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, have installed 2.1 from DOS partition (XCOPYd relevant stuff there across my network) but some glitches remain, specifically these: 1.) I can't seem to get rid of earlier configuration stuff written to disk during initial install when I opted for network config but just hit RET at the various fields (intending to fill them in later). As a result, during boot I'm told 'myname.mydomain' etc are "Bad fields" or something of this sort. I reinstalled several times but the install will NOT erase the initial files even though newfs is set to yes. In sheer frustration, I deleted the 2.1 partition from DOS FDISK, set up an extended DOS partition, formatted it (hoping to erase all traces of earlier 2.1 install) but debug still tells me all the relevant slices are not being created because 'newer or same age version exists'... After the latest round of this exercise (having done a badblock scan for good measure) the system hangs at the /mnt/dev/rwd0s2e stage after starting a line saying 'super-block backups for fsck -b # at: 32,' 2.) During a previous stage when I attempted to add packages via the /stand/sysinstall mechanism, the system let me pick editors etc to my heart's delight, but then claimed it could'nt fetch any of my selections from the selected media (yes, I had specified DOS partition as the installation media, sometimes even in the options screen as well!). Since this affected my ability to peruse the Handbook, too (the needed package was not found/loaded), perhaps it would be a good idea to include that part somewhere else in the installation so that it gets loaded with all the other essential stuff? (There was another item in this same category, but I can't remember offhand what that was.) I would greatly appreciate some suggestions on how best to proceed from here... (I am loath to buy a second CD drive -- for the machine in question -- but perhaps that is the best way out of the impasse?)

Nope - this is your problem - you need to configure the things you mention. It sounds like you have not entered a correct IP number for your providers DNS machine.

I hate to ask - but has someone now *removed* the optionality of this in the -current kernel ? so that next version, leaving it out of the config file will result in it defaulting to default values and being compiled in ?

One way is to set the "timeout" value really low, like 10 or 5 (disconnects after 10 or 5 seconds (respectively) of inactivity). This is fine for when you just want to read mail and disconnect, but may get in your way if you're trying to do some "real" work, such as ftp or other internet stuff. There is another way, whcih I use and like... but you may not... I wrote a couple of shell scripts to toy with PPP, tell it to turn off and turn on and etc. I create logins in /etc/passwd with no password, called "ppp-off" and "ppp-on", so when I want to deactivate ppp, all I have to do is switch to an empty VC and type "ppp-off". They can also be run directly from a shell prompt (you must be root). Attached is a copy of my scripts. Here are some notes concerning them, since my system is probably different than yours and some tailoring will be required. 1) I run a name server. When I have PPP turned on, I want the name server to be able to answer queries for any host on the Internet, which requires a valid root nameserver cache file with all of the main Internet name servers on it. When PPP is OFF, I still want the name server to be able to answer queries for my own "fake" domain, since I have several machines around the house that depend on a name server being available, and I don't want them to act funny when PPP is off. So when PPP is off, I install a small "fake" root server cache file, that refers all queries back to my own name server. Sorta kludgy, but it works. 2) If you don't run named, or want to handle it differently, you WILL need to edit the /usr/local/sbin/ppp-{off,on} scripts and change the named handling stuff. It's pretty clearly set apart from the rest of the scripts, and shouldn't be that hard to manage. 3) My auto-dialing ppp site is called "netcomd". Change it to the name of your auto-dialing ppp site in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. 4) My remote PPP server's IP address is 163.179.78.2. It needs a "default" route set to it. My ppp-on script takes care of this. You will have to change this to the default route you need to use. 5) You can use these shell scripts from a (root) shell prompt, or via commands such as sudo, etc. Or you can add "fake" logins to the /etc/passwd file so that you can control PPP from any VC with a login prompt. Use vipw and add the following: ppp::0:0::0:0:PPP Control login:/:/usr/local/sbin/pppsh ppp-off::0:0::0:0:Turn PPP off:/:/usr/local/sbin/ppp-off ppp-on::0:0::0:0:Turn PPP on:/:/usr/local/sbin/ppp-on I know, I know, this is in bad form, and is bad for security, etc. Since I am a single-user machine at home, security really doesn't matter to me. If you are on a network, you might not want to take this approach, or you may want to set passwords on the ppp-* logins. 6) The "ppp" login and /usr/local/sbin/pppsh command is a easy way to control or query a running ppp daemon. All it does is runs telnet to localhost port 3000, but "pppsh" is admittedly easier to type than "telnet localhost 3000" Enjoy...

They could do this, despite the GPL, because all they had to do was include the Linux kernel source (they could, of course, keep the source to their innovations private).

Read the docs that come with the apache server concerning virtual hosts. The method used to figure out the incoming destination ip address only works for tcp and unfortunately won't work for udp so things like named, xntpd, and kerberos all use worse kluges to work in the presence of multiple interfaces of any kind (ip aliases or real multiple interfaces.).

Currently I am using FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE pleasantly. I have some questions about kernel source codes. The followings are my stupid questions. 1) Is it possible for me to insert a new system call without resulting any trouble? That is, I want to know whether it is possible to insert a line in /usr/src/sys/sys/syscall.h in my pleasure. #define SYS_my_new_system_call 8 /* * Here I selected 8 by the reason that /usr/src/sys/sys/syscall.h has a * comment that ... 8 is old creat... */ I was always curious about the number, like 8 above, of a system call. I think the only occurance of the number of a system call was through the syscall(2). Is there anybody to explain me the significant role of the number?(in the case of exit, 1; in the case of fork, 2; in the case of read, 3....) 2) If above is possible, what files should I re-edit? I want to know how many times the each system call has been called from the time the system start to operate. I want to program something like this. main() { printf("The open(2) system call has been called %d times.\n", my_new_system_call()); } My new system call, my_new_system_call(2) maybe be something like this. [FreeBSD] [FreeBSD] cat /usr/src/sys/kern/a_file.h /* * this file should be #include'd a lot of times, if I want to know * the occurence of all the system calls. Maybe structure is more appropriate. */ int open_count; /* int exit_count; int fork_count; int read_count; int write_count; ... something like that.. */ [FreeBSD] [FreeBSD] cat /usr/src/sys/kern/b_file.c #include int my_new_system_call(p, dummy, retval) struct proc *p; int dummy; int *retval; { *retval = open_count; return (0); } [FreeBSD] [FreeBSD] cat /usr/src/kern/vfs_syscalls.c ....... int open(p, uap, retval) struct proc *p; register struct open_args *uap; int *retval; { register struct filedesc *fdp = p->p_fd; register struct file *fp; register struct vnode *vp; int flags, cmode; struct file *nfp; int type, indx, error; struct flock lf; struct nameidata nd; extern struct fileops vnops; open_count++; /* !!!!!!!!!! */ error = falloc(p, &nfp, &indx); if (error) return (error); fp = nfp; ........................... } Is the above revision correct?

You would be better off with 7- 2 gig drives with news groups spread across them based on post volume and size. This way i/o is spread out. With scsi, a device can go off the bus for a bit as it dishes around, leaving the controller able to ask another device for something in the mean time. ------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Hovey -- shovey@buffnet.net root@buffnet.net From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 7 08:22:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id IAA10193 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 7 Feb 1996 08:22:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from cy.com (root@jake.atlwin.com [155.229.56.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id IAA10188 for ; Wed, 7 Feb 1996 08:22:21 -0800 (PST) Received: from jake.atlwin.com ([155.229.56.58]) by cy.com (8.6.12/8.6.4) with SMTP id MAA04162; Wed, 7 Feb 1996 12:18:00 -0500 Message-Id: <199602071718.MAA04162@cy.com> X-Sender: tkelley@cy.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 07 Feb 1996 11:18:31 -0500 To: NIMALIN@aol.com, questions@freebsd.org From: "Tim M.

If you check out the FAQ distributed for INN, there is a section on this, but it esssentially boils down to spreading news over multiple spindles. Ie. Over here, with a small feed someing in (40meg/day), my setup is such that df shows: /news /news/spool /news/overview The idea, I believe, is that when a user connects for news, they first have to hit /news to get the active information, then they hit /news/overview, to get the overview/subject records, and then they hit /news/spool to get the actual article. So if you, let's say, 30 users hitting news at once, it isn't 30 requests queued up for one drive, but they *all* hit simultaneously, and they *all* go for same newsgroups and same articles. Recommendation would be to grab yourself a 1gig drive to move the admin stuff to 'active, history, etc' and get a 2 gig drive to move your overview files over to, and leave news on the 9gig. Again, check out the posting (I believe it just came through here, so it just came out again) in news.software.nntp (I believe) dealing with FAQs and a much better explanation on what I've said above :) Marc G.

The first/main problem occurred when I was trying to install the XFree86 Version 3.1.2 and answering the corresponding questions regarding the Video and Graphical cards. I have a 17" monitor (CTX 1785GMe, 1280x1024 dp) and for the graphics I do have a Diamond Stealth-64 Video VRAM (4 MB) accelerator. I guess I got a wrong set-up for the video/graphics. The message following the invocation of "startx" is as follows: "XFree86 Version 3.1.2 / X window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6001) Operating System: FreeBSD 2.0.5 Configured drivers: S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0) mmio_928, s3_generic Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0) (using VT number 4) Fatal server error: No config file found! Note, the X server no longer looks for XF86Config in $HOME X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)" I should bring to your observation that the "XF86Connfig" is located at: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config Regarding the graphics, I know "Diamond Stealth-64 Video VRAM" is using S3_968 Chipset, Ti3026 RAMDAC, and Ti3026 Clockchip. The monitor has the following specifications: "Model: 1785GMe Horizontal: 30-85KHz Vertical: 50-110Hz PC Compatibility: 648x480 VGA 60 to 75Hz refresh 800x600 56 to 75Hz refresh 1024x768 60 to 75Hz non-interlaced 1280x1024 75Hz non-interlaced 1600x1200 60Hz non-interlaced Display Colors: Analog unlimited Video Bandwidth: 135MHz Dot Pitch: 0.26mm" It will be greatly appreciated if you give me a detailed direction for the successful intallation of the FreeBSD_2.1 and XFree86. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration. Yours, Kazem Akbari.

Clearly, you'd need a program that could do a raw DHCP request using an unconfigured network card. I don't know that there has been that much work towards making FreeBSD a "desktop OS". I think you have to have assigned addresses. Such a thing would certianly be worthwhile. Maybe the WIDE project has something that will do this?

The system call "number" is an index into the sysent[] array. The correct way to deal with this is to modify /sys/kern/syscalls.master and config yourself a new kernel. That file is post-processed by the config process to build init_sysent.c, syscalls.c and syscall.h. It is incorrect to modify syscall.h, since it is a machine-generated file. Probably what you want to do instead is to use an LKM to add a vendor private system call. You can then query the /dev/lkm via ioctl to find your system call slot number, and then use the syscall(2) system call with that number and the normal call arguments to make the call to your new call from your vendor-suppied application. Actual modifications to the default system call list in syscalls.master are jealously guarded: they have to be. What you are suggesting is a permananet ABI change for what is, effectively, your personal call that perhaps no one else will ever use. [ ... simple call count statistics ... ] If this is for a profiling facility rather than for a ongoing hysterisis/AI mechanism for auto-tuning system resources, then you probably want to simply enable kernel profiling. Given a sufficiently large bucket size, it will cover all your system calls, as well as give you useful statistics, like "average time in call" and so on.

Which shouldn't be too hard, really: all you have to do is create a little machinery in the kernel to allow you to send designated packets out an interface you choose while IP has not yet been configured for that interface.

To accomplish this with the BSD code, you would need to: 1) Abstract the BSD dependencies from the file system interface (I have submitted some patches to do this). Such an abstraction makes the BSD code more closely resemble the Heideman Thesis description: integration of the UCLA FIcus code into the 4.4BSD code was, at beast, a hack-job. 2) Abstract the mount process from the BSD hierachy model (I have submitted some patches to do this). Such an abstration is very useful for implementation of transient resources for mobile computing even in a BSD environment: Syquest, ZIP, and other removable media which may "arrive", floppies and CDROM, PCMCIA FlashRAM and disks, docking stations, and intermittent network links (IR/WaveLAN/Etc.), and so on. 3) Port the Heidemann framework and BSD kernel environemnt support to the target OS (a team of three of us has ported the Heidemann framework, after the BSD architectural patches to Windows 95 -- OS/2 would be less difficult since this has been done, but also less lucrative; we consider the port of the framework to be proprietary, but are considering exposing the interface to allow you to provide your own VPE's [Heidemann file systems] for Windows 95). You could probably do the port to OS/2 in 2-3 man months (assuming you have my patches and noting that the OS/2 documentation is both more complete and more correct than the Windows 95 documentation). 4) Compile and load modules. In Windows94, this is accomplished by building the modules as VPE's and using the PELDR interface to load them into a framework consisting of the modified Heidemann code and a BSD kernel emulation environment (mostly VMM.VXD consumer code providing a BSD VM consumer interface for the file system "bottom end"). With appropriate changes to path disoloution code (also part of the patches I have submitted: changes are made to each FS regarding cn_pnbuf), this would immediately buy you FFS, LFS, CD9660, VFATFS, NFS clint, SMBFS client (when it is released), NetWare client (when it is released), BSD EXT2FS, UNION, LOOPBACK, and read-only NTFS support for your OS/2 box.

The CDROM drive is the second device on a regular on-board IDE controller. We have no problem running the floppy and actually seeing the cd mount as the second device on wd0. Once the install from the CD is done and we boot from the hard drive --which is the first device on wd0 -- the cd is not found. After lots of investigation, we looked at the GENERIC source file (usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC) and saw that the ATAPI option is commented out. Is there a way for us to compile the kernel with an uncommented-out ATAPI line in GENERIC or is there a way to do it using the install utility from the floppy? We appreciate your support! THANKS!

Which answers your other question - GENERIC is a precompiled kernel, the binary is in the root directory, and the config file is where you found LINT - try building a new kernel using GENERIC as a base.

At nearly the same time, David Brockus queried: % Does a DNS Server come with the FreeBSD 2.0.5R? If not, % does anyone know where to find one for FreeBSD? Thanks. Yes, gents, FreeBSD comes with a DNS server, based on BIND (the Berkeley Internet Naming Daemon). Just to keep things confusing, the executable for this is called 'named'. ;^) Named is relatively straightforward to configure. Your best bet is to run out and buy a copy of "TCP/IP Network Administration," Craig Hunt, O'Reilly & Associates 1992, ISBN 0-937175-82-X. If you are going to run *any* TCP/IP network, even two nodes like mine, ;^) you *need* this book. O'Reilly can be found on the Web at http://www.ora.com, or look at the Bookpool, http:://www.bookpool.com. If you want to delve more deeply into DNS, you're a sick and twisted individual. Get help immediately, in the form of "DNS and Bind", Paul Albitz and Cricket Liu, O'Reilly and Associates 1992, ISBN 1-56592-010-4. Oddly enough, both of these books just happened to be laying under my left elbow when I encountered your messages. ;^) If you just want a sample configuration, mailto: wes@intele.net and I will send you my entire /etc/namedb directory.

How do I port this in? >Also, where is a good reference on the net for INN setup and configuration? > Thank You This is not really an answer, but a question about whether this is a reasonable way to do ports from the cdrom: Find the directory of the port you want. Suppose it's kermit. Then cp -R /cdrom/ports/comm/kermit /usr/local This should create a subdirectory of /usr/local called kermit with all the subdirectories of the kermit directory on the cd rom. Then go to /usr/local/kermit and find the subdirectory with Makefile in it. Type make. This should result in an ftp to get the basic tar file from somewhere, so the network has to be up and running. Then type make install in the same directory. This should put the binaries where they belong and possibly the man pages also. After this it would seem to me it ought to be possible to delete the whole /usr/local/kermit (or whatever) directory; but there might be useful readme files and the like in there. It also might be worthwhile to read any information files before doing make. And if the port needs some other program or whatever that isn't there, it will say so; then you have to get whatever it needs and try make again. Is that more or less right?

You can hook up a TA (aka. ISDN modem) such as the ZyXel 1486DI (?) or one from Motorola. Since these hook to the serial port you can handle them just like an external modem. Jordan Hubbard is using a setup like this with great success. A TA is the most flexible solution since the German cards are designed for EuroISDN (the European ISDN standard) and there's no guarantee that they'll work correctly outside of Europe. --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) Gary.Jennejohn@munich.netsurf.de (play) gj@freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 8 03:45:27 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id DAA17474 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Feb 1996 03:45:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.calweb.com (root@mail.calweb.com [165.90.138.20]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA17468 for ; Thu, 8 Feb 1996 03:45:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from Pyeager (cyeager.calweb.com [165.90.138.193]) by mail.calweb.com (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id DAA15428 for ; Thu, 8 Feb 1996 03:45:39 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <3119E1E8.167EB0E7@calweb.com> Date: Thu, 08 Feb 1996 03:43:36 -0800 From: Chris Yeager Organization: Pyeager X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0b6a (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Disk Partitions Help!

You should include the dmesg output. Verify that ARRE and AWRE are set to 1 in the mode page editor (scsi -m; see scsi 8). Your drive should then reallocate sectors when they fail EXCEPT if it can't read the bad data (it will remap if it reads after some retries). If it can't read the data you have little choice other than to read/ignore error/write that sector and lose data or ask me to send you a small program that will let you issue an explicit reallocate sector command to the drive. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

It also has an ethernet card which connects it to our internal network (unrelated to our internet service). I can't find this info so I was hoping someone here could enlighten me! Here goes..... 1) I thought I had seen discussion in the mail list archives on doing 'arp' commands when using iijPPP on dial in lines. Is it really necessary or am I halucinating :))? Aren't arp entries added automatically via the ifconfig for the tunx devices anyway? 2) The link to my provider is started on boot. I'm using 'ppp -auto providername' and then 'ping -c 1 ip.address' in /etc/netstart. The ping times out before the connection is made, but it forces the startup (timeout is 0 in ppp.config). This seems a bit kludgey; is there a more elegant or standard way of starting a "dedicated" dialup link at boot time? 3) In /etc/sysconfig, I ifconfig lo0, ed0, and tun0. Everything works fine, but why don't I have to add lines for tun1 through tunx? They seem to be ifconfig'ed automagically by iijPPP when an incoming ppp session starts. If that's the case, why do I even have to ifconfig tun0? 4) In /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, each label has the appropriate 'ifaddr' entry. In /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup my providers entry has 'add 0 0 HISADDR' The other labels are present but have no entries at all. Why? This is working fine but I'm curious... None of these questions are urgent as everything has been working great for several months. But I am kind of curious about the things listed above. Any input from the guru's here would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance. Jay L.

This sounds like the modem and/or line is not setup right. 1) Is the DTE speed on the modem locked? 2) Is the modem setup for hardware handshaking? 3) Is the incoming line setup for 57600 baud and hardware handshaking (see /etc/rc.serial), as well as modem control lines. Make sure that all of the above are set (and saved in the NVRAM on the modem) and try it again. I wrote up some modifications to the handbook in this area, but I haven't recieved any feedback from the reviewers yet (hint, hint).

The speed is the speed at which the uart is set. It has always confused me why an internal modem, using a UART emulation, would not be emulating an RS232 external clock, so that baud was irrelevant. Whatever the reason, unless you tell the the mode to lock the DCE baud rate regardless of the line baud rate, your connect message is going to reflect the baud rate set by the modem. The even parity "problem" is because 7E1 is the default in the file /etc/gettytab -- it, like the default bad rate used by the computer, is set by the getty program after it opens the port. In theory, if your modem is set up correctly (follow DTR, assert DCD only on remote carrier), then the "CONNECT 2400" message will be sent, but will be ignored, since it will be sent before DCD is raised. By default, using getty, you want to disable modem result codes anyway. If you don't use a locked port rate, then you should setup /etc/ttys to cause the getty on the port to use a rotor list. The incoming caller will then send BREAK, each time causing the baud rate to rotor to another setting in the list. So the rotor list should contain allowable modem baud rates. > Once the modem picks up I get the login: prompt. When I type in the username > I get the Password prompt, but then the program hangs! Hitting return, > escape etc has no effect. If I check ps on the system I see that the login > program is still running. Are you using 7E1? A "return" without correct parity is not "return", it's some other character. Try control-J (LF -- it has the opposite parity). > I read in the gettytab that there are different flags for the initial login > communication and the subsequent phases of the connection.. I tried using > stty to change the flags but it didn't seem to work... No, it wouldn't. You have to modify gettytab. Your settings via "stty" will reset to the template defaults when the stty closes the device after making the settings chages. The stty and template settings are irrelvant anyway, since the port settings are changes once the modem raises DCD, as the getty program puts the settings in the gettytab into effect.

Um, you're not making a lot of sense here. If you want to pass a struct through a socket, you just up and write it to the socket. If what you mean is that you want to add more code to the UDP socket functions to do something else, then have a look at how all the other ioctls are implemented.

What I was wondering is if there is some way to automatically list multiple phone numbers to try. With UUCP there is...you can list multiple lines in the HDB Systems file or use 'alternate' in the Taylor 'sys' file. And I want to do the same sort of thing with my PPP script. There's 3 or 4 different phone numbers I want to try...the 'man ppp' said not to put blanks in the number on the 'set phone' command, so I assume I can't just list a bunch of phone numbers there. It'd be nice if I could list multiple configs slirp1: set phone NUMBER1 slirp2: set phone NUMBER2 slirp3: set phone NUMBER3 then do 'ppp -auto slirp1 slirp2 slirp3' or just have a line like this: slirp: set phone NUMBER1 NUMBER2 NUMBER3 and do 'ppp -auto slirp'. Right now, I just do this: slirp: set phone NUMBER1 set dial ..... ATDT\\T CONNECT-ATDTNUMBER2-CONNECT-ATDTNUMBER3-CONNECT but that's kinda tedious.

It does answer your question though. Frequently Asked Question (Hardware Compatibility or Misc.) How do I get FreeBSD to recognize my ATAPI CDROM after installation? Read the directions under building a custom kernel. You will need to modify the configuration file and build a custom kernel with these changes. In the configuration, search for the lines: #options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus #device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM Change them so they read: options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM If the CDROM is on the primary IDE channel, the above configuration should work.

What do you mean, "pass a new struct"? If you mean like passing fd's around on UNIX domain sockets, you are probably out of luck. If you mean adding to the interface, you will have to modify the code for the device driver. For socket I/O, this would be /sys/kern/sys_socket.c in the soo_ioctl() function. Atr you sure this is what you need to do? This would be an interface change, so it probably would not be very popular...

Sure. But Frame Relay 128K cost me $275 a month ;-( Looks like you need another hat. 8-). Is this because of charges at the ISP/NSP or charges by the Telco? If the Telco, I can't recommend anything other than going to the public hearings and making yourself heard. If the ISP/NSP, I can suggest you compete with him. In my area, there is little difference: ~$80/month for frame relay from your location to a designated cloud, and ~$220/month for Internet Direct (or $300/month for US West, plus you need your own router with US West while I.D. provides a really dumb one for you -- how can you enter a market at $80/month higher than your competition and expect to not get your shorts eaten?). So you are winning by $25 to $105 a month over me. ISDN is a little cheaper, but goes up drastically for Telco charges for anything useful (ie: more than 8 days of connect a month -- means no Web services, etc.). Plus ISDN is only available in some locations. The ISP costs are nearly the same, even though the equipment costs for FR are near nothing, comparatively (an ISP needs an ISDN connect in per ISDN user -- ISDN is switched virtual circuit, just like a phone call). For reasonable connectivity (ie: online all the time, but not necessarily pounding out the packets all the time), ISDN is simply unusable. It's all a plot to make us buy our phone services from our Cable TV companies (I will buy my phone and net services from the same company when I can, and it will be whichever charges me less.

The IDE disk had the HDD controller die. I unfortunately did not have the means to have it backed up. I have a spare SCSI disk, and can use this as the new boot disk. My question is basically, what do I need to do in order to only install the / filesystem, as I already have /usr installed on the other disk?

Since you've edited the resolv.conf, have you been able to lookup names using nslookup? A simple test, from the command line, would be $ nslookup -type=any gatekeeper.dec.com If this returns the correct results, (i.e. 204.123.2.2) you're on your way. If applications like telnet and ftp still don't grok outside addresses, you're probably not configured to use name services. Edit /etc/host.conf to contain: hosts bind This tells the name resolver library consult /etc/hosts first, and if the hostname isn't found there, try DNS. This way, you can enter the names and addresses of local machines and machines you contact frequently in your /etc/hosts and save the lookup time. This should get you working, as long as your tcp/ip routing is correct. -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffett From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 8 21:06:19 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id VAA29053 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Feb 1996 21:06:19 -0800 (PST) Received: from moonpie.w8hd.org (moonpie.w8hd.org [198.252.159.14]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA29048 for ; Thu, 8 Feb 1996 21:06:14 -0800 (PST) Received: (from kimc@localhost) by moonpie.w8hd.org (8.6.12/8.6.12) id AAA08628; Fri, 9 Feb 1996 00:05:37 -0500 Date: Fri, 9 Feb 1996 00:05:37 -0500 (EST) From: Kim Culhan To: mikebo@tellabs.com cc: questions@FreeBSD.org, Mike Borowiec Subject: Re: PCI video recommendations?

I think he was just looking for a somewhat more elegant way to starting the interface, as opposed to editing /etc/netstart, which is now supposed to be sacrosanct. Try the following: In /etc/sysconfig, add your "tun0" device to the network_interfaces list: network_interfaces="ed0 lo0 tun0" ... ifconfig_tun0="" Now create a script called /etc/start_if.tun0 containing, i.e.: #! /bin/sh # # Script to start ppp daemon in autodialer mode. # Wes Peters, 22 Jan 1996. # echo "Starting PPP link to InteleNET on tun0:" > /dev/console ppp -auto intelenet This will automagically bring up your interface, without hacking netstart. > 3) In /etc/sysconfig, I ifconfig lo0, ed0, and tun0. % iijPPP auto-configures tun0, so there isn't a need to do that.

Currently the FreeBSD msdosfs has a few problems. One of these affects only certain system configurations: typically those with large DOS partitions which may have been split using a utility such as FIPS. If your system is susceptible, even mounting a DOS partition read-only may result in instability and the corruption of other partitions. The message you mention indicates that the msdosfs is likely to have problems on your system. The FreeBSD msdosfs implementation is currently under revision. Until this is complete, you'd be well advised to avoid mounting DOS partitions. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 8 23:19:07 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA04430 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Feb 1996 23:19:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from dreamlabs.dreaming.org (dreamlabs.dreaming.org [198.96.119.129]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA04425 for ; Thu, 8 Feb 1996 23:19:04 -0800 (PST) Received: (from mitayai@localhost) by dreamlabs.dreaming.org (8.6.12/8.6.12) id CAA07105; Fri, 9 Feb 1996 02:20:08 -0500 Date: Fri, 9 Feb 1996 02:19:59 -0500 (EST) From: Will Mitayai Keeso Rowe To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: TinyMUSH Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk hallo... was wondering if, by any chance, anyone had had any success porting TinyMUSH (2.2.1, or 2.1.10p6 ?) to FreeBSD-2.1.0? -Mit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Will Mitayai Keeso Rowe at DreamLabs Community Information Network Toronto/Peterborough/Oshawa, Ontario, Canada Web: http://www.dreaming.org/~mitayai IRC: Mitayai Email: mitayai@dreaming.org From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 8 23:47:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA05681 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 8 Feb 1996 23:47:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from deceased.hb.north.de (deceased.hb.north.de [194.94.232.249]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA05669 for ; Thu, 8 Feb 1996 23:47:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from jelal.hb.north.de by deceased.hb.north.de with uucp (Smail3.1.29.1) id m0tknXa-000ZDcC; Fri, 9 Feb 96 08:46 MET Received: by jelal.hb.north.de (SMail-ST 0.95gcc/2.5+) id AA00260; Fri, 9 Feb 1996 08:42:50 +0100 (CET) Received: (from nox@localhost) by saturn (8.6.11/8.6.9) id WAA10280; Thu, 8 Feb 1996 22:00:22 +0100 Date: Thu, 8 Feb 1996 22:00:22 +0100 From: Juergen Lock Message-Id: <199602082100.WAA10280@saturn> To: brians@mandor.dev.com Subject: Re: Willows In-Reply-To: <199602011702.JAA24365@mandor.dev.com> Organization: none Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk In article <199602011702.JAA24365@mandor.dev.com> you write: >The User-LDT even in current is broken in a couple of ways.

You have to edit /etc/group and add you login name to the "wheel" group. Example: wheel:*:0:root,newsadm,d_burr ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It doesn't matter what your GID is set in /etc/passwd, you just have to be listed in the 'wheel' group in order to be able to su.

Terry, this might be true in the US but not in Germany (or perhaps Europe). An ISDN line costs here slightly more than 2 analog phone lines (will be the same in this summer) and you are charged exactly the same rates as on an analog telephone line. For an anlog line you are charged ~30.00 DM and for an ISDN line ~65.00 DM (will go down to ~50.00 DM); a so called "unit" costs 0.12 DM and gives you 1.5 Minutes time on peak hours and 4 Minutes between 2 and 5 in the morning for local calls. And yes, i'm online all the time (outbound ip packets just connect, inbound packets will place a [not charged] "ring" to my side and i'll call back to my provider). Leased lines are so expensive, that there is no need to call for a quote. For reasonable one-person/small-group municipal area connectivity in Germany, ISDN is a very good choice. In case you want to be charged a flat rate, there is a service called D64S available (giving you just a 64kbit channel but open all the time), which costs between 2 endpoints in the municipal area 400.00 ... 800.00 DM (depending <15km and >15km distance) a month. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?

Log in with your own user account (*). Then use the `su' command to become root. You should never actually log in as root ... it's harder to track security breaches that way. With the `su' command, you at least have a record (sometimes) of who became root and when.

If you use `insecure,' then root cannot log in (you can still su in either case). After editing /etc/ttys, type kill -1 1 to force init to reread the file and see the updates. Footnotes: (*) What, you didn't make an account for yourself? You just use root all the time? What are you, some kind of DOS user?!? :-) Okay, do this: at the `boot:' prompt, type -s to boot into single user mode. You'll be prompted for the root password. Type it. Then choose a shell (type return for sh, the default). Then edit /etc/ttys as above and enable root logins. Then exit the shell, which will let your system boot into multiuser mode.

For Frame Relay (or raw ATM), the sheer volume of accounting information required makes "usage charges" impossible. Paying for pipe diameter is good.

They are sooooo very helpful... Sometimes I feel like I'm up a bitstream without a paddle....Of all the stuff I've done so far this is the toughest. I am enclosing a copy of the followinf files in the hope that your tained eye will spot the error(s): /etc/named.boot /etc/named.root /etc resolv.conf plus the two files we created -- /etc/namedb/fifth-avenue.com /etc/namedb/fifth-avenue.com.rev Also including herein -- /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf And finally, the line in inetd that runs named In answer to your suggestion using nslookup -- the TCP route is fine , i.e., we can ping out anywhere, but nslookuo returns with an error 0 (no error) message. Here's my particular QUESTION OF THE DAY Since we are using Netcom as primary and secondary DNS, where in the above files to we put THEIR IP address and where do we put OUR LOCAL addresses? I think we are confused by reading O'Reilly who assumes we are acting as our own DNS. I mean I just don't understand how we can be a DNS -- wouldn't we have to keep all the IP address for the net on our machine? Or do we still go out and connect to a nameserver somewhere? But that's the QUESTION FOR THE MORROW We WILL be acting as our own DNS at some point...but for now, if you can look at the files and help us place the right info in the right places... I just think that our local host IP address needs to be in there somewhere and I've tried all the permutations I can think of.

But I do like to use an internal card (because I hate those bulky AC adaptors). However, Motorola also makes an ISA card which is the internal card version of the Bitsurfer. Have anyone had any experience with this card ? If this card uses the similiar AT commands like the external one, we should be able to modify the modem interface sequences to make it look like a serial port/analog modem . US Robotics also makes an ISDN ISA card (a little more pricy $389), it claims that it supports packet driver. Does anyone ever written a FreeBSD device driver emulating a Packet Driver ? Or any ISA ISDN cards that support CAPI which is used by the current ISDN driver. The German ISDN cards all support CAPI which is developed in Germany.

This doesn't cause any problems and behaves the way I want it to. However, when I use Linux Netscrape, it doesn't delete backwards, only the character the cursor is under. It looks as though Linux's version has ^H hardcoded as the backspace/erase character. I know I could use xmodmap to swith the keys around. However, this isn't a good solution because while it solve the problems for Netscape, it changes around the rest of my setup.

The riders on this particular change remove "common carrier" protection for transport providers from content providers they service. The functional equivalent is the telephone company being laible for illegal acts by its users. It's questionable whether or not one would really want to enter such an arena. As to slitting each other's throats to sell the pipes, the money will be in the content: that has not changed. It's why it costs me $80/mo for my connection and $220/mo to have my packets routed.

Possible. Not necessary. Some areas in the US have fixed-rate ISDN. We recently got this in Seattle, if my source is correct. Every so often I find myself almost thinking government meddling with the "free market" isn't always a bad thing. ;) (I think it got rammed down their throats.) Of course I think at this point in time ISDN is too little too late. The bandwidth is kinda pathetic by today's standards. Oh well, that's what comes from things taking 10 years to get to market and the constant failure of people to do things 10x as big/fast/whatever as you think you'll need. Is ISDN gonna make the next upgrade in bandwidth easier than this one? I think an increase of less than an order of magnitude over the bandwidth available via POTS is pretty pathetic. 128kbits/sec? Feh. With the cost of 28.8 modems and regular phone service, it's practically in "why bother" territory. Is there something I am missing about ISDN? It would seem the cable companies should be jumping all over the opportunity to provide real bandwidth... they could cream phone companies here, no? But yeah, by all means don't go for metered ISDN, you'll just encourage them. Paying for usage is bloody prehistoric. -- Craig Johnston caj@tower.stc.housing.washington.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 9 12:42:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA09404 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 9 Feb 1996 12:42:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from texas.corp.rhalf.com ([204.75.64.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA09384 for ; Fri, 9 Feb 1996 12:42:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from JBUTLER.NET.RHALF.COM ([204.75.125.69]) by texas.corp.rhalf.com with SMTP; Fri, 9 Feb 1996 12:42:16 -0600 (CST) Date: Fri, 9 Feb 1996 12:37:15 From: "John Butler / Network Ops."

With > the cost of 28.8 modems and regular phone service, it's practically in > "why bother" territory. Is there something I am missing about ISDN? With modems, there's a potential "big" problem with packet latency. Currently, the X-window protocol contains a lot of handshaking; an X-window client (the program displaying the window) does a lot of handshaking with the X-window server (where the window is displayed). In order to do error correction and data compression, the transmitting modem gathers data into fixed-sized "packets" before sending the data to the receiving modem. However, to handle "interactive" sessions where a user is typing on a keyboard, a partial packet is sent if data is not received by a certain short timeout period. As the X-window protocol can send packets smaller than the modem's packet size, the timeout must occur before the data is sent to the receiving modem. Multiply this timeout (50-80ms???) by many packets, and the "short timeout" can become a substantial amount of time. For example, if I ping a system connected via SLIP (28.8K modem connected at 21.6K), the ping times are on the order of 160ms. If I ping a system connected via ISDN, the ping times are on the order of 40ms. [ Of course, sending 64 byte ping packets via a 28.8K modem does take longer than a 64-128K ISDN connection, and all this does assume that the packet size is smaller than the modem's buffer size. ] If you multiply the 60ms difference ((160ms-40ms) divided by 2 packets/ping) by, say, 100 packets, you've got a six-second difference. I'd say that's significant. -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

Win95 desktop drive icons come from the TSD portion of VFAT.VXD recognizing a physical device when it "arrives" and exporting a logical device. VFAT.VXD only exports logical devices ("volumes") for DOS Primary partitions and DOS Secondary partitions on DOS Extended partitions in the Primary partition table. Your floppys and CDROM are seperately exported by the driver as removable media. Now, what you did: You installed BSD to the second drive, and told it to install a boot manager. This actually does not work too well. You need to shutdown Win95 to the DOS prompt after downloading the DOS install for the OS-BS program. By shutting down to DOS instead of booting from a DOS (or BSD) floppy, you guarantee a boot to a DOS prompt off the hard drive. You need this because you might have an MBR geometry translator for your IDE drive -- like OnTrack DiskManager 6.x or 7.x, etc.. With a boot to a DOS prompt of the hard drive in effect, you can use the DOS-based install for the boot manager and it will go to The Correct Place On The Boot Disk. This will either be replacing the real MBR (if you don't have OnTrack or a similar MBR-based INT 13 redirector TSR), or by replacing the logical MBR (if you do have OnTrack, etc.). Now when you reboot of the boot device, it will give you the option of booting DOS (Windows95), or booting from the second drive (FreeBSD). If you choose the second drive, and there is a boot manager installed, then you will be given a choice of FreeBSD or the "second drive". So with a boot manager on the second drive, your life is more complicated, but you will be able to boot FreeBSD.. For "use whole drive for FreeBSD" on the second drive, the boot manager for the first drive will immediately boot FreeBSD -- assuming the partition has been marked active.

You will need to modify the OSF key translators in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB I don't know what you will do to make the function as expected, since if you have the key sending instead, you are pretty much screwed on that one. Only other option is to "muck up" the rest of your setup and convert the key to send what its keycap legend says it sends: ASCII BackSpace.

Yes -- I used to do something similar at my last place of business. I ran a kernel ppp connection to the "real world", and ran the CERN httpd in proxy server mode to forward ftp, http, gopher, etc. All the private LAN boxes only wanted to run Netscape, so it did the trick.

And if I copy the entire CD-Rom to my hard disk, will it only install the options for the X-Developer distribution, or will the install program expand ALL of the files it finds on the hard disk I am installing from (like a FULL installation) ? 3. Are PCMCIA modems supported, or only serial ones? 4. How do I install additional pieces later without re-installing the whole system?

If you're not running netscape, and just didn't shut it cleanly, you can just do a rm ~/.netscape/.lock or ~/.netscape/lock whichever it is, i don't remember..

I have played with this card just a little bit. Unfortunately, it is Plug-n-Play and I haven't gotten it working with FreeBSD... are there PnP drivers somewhere? The external Bitsurfer Pro is very nice. It does async->sync PPP conversion which is handy & lets you avoid the v.120 overhead. -archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.

That problem happened to me as well, those wouldn't happen to be AMD CPU's would they? Mine is a 486DX4-120 and I didn't only get segfaults, I got drive errors.

I just went on a buying binge and picked up some new hardware for my P90 FreeBSD box. I now have a Plextor 4.5X CD and a NCR8150S PCI-SCSI controller to go along with it (FINALLY found someone with it), plus a new ATI mach64 Graphics Pro Turbo. Excitedly, I plugged everything in, turned it on, reconfig'd the kernel, copied, and rebooted and...no workie. When the NCR is in the machine, it insists on messing up the mach64. The kernel comes up OK, but after the vga0 gets probed, I get nothing. If I hit alt-F2, I get a continuous beep, which sticks until I have to reset-button the machine. If I wait for the boot sequence to come all the way up (by the disk activity), I can jump between consoles, but the consoles aren't updated when I type on them. I have to jump back and forth to see what I'm typing. :( And if I try to shutdown, the beeping commences and requires a reset button. I've tried hacking sio.c and removing the com4 probe, and removing everything except those two cards, but it still does it. I'll post a boot -v output in a moment, but I will note that the full DOS driver can't find the NCR either. The mini driver works OK though. The thing that worries me most is that the NCR reports back "irq 255 invalid". In the broken DOS driver mentioned above, it reports back IRQ 95. Versions: System has a Phoenix BIOS 12/15/94 NCR v3.0 BIOS (I have the 4.0 upgrade but it breaks the OS/2 Warp driver, which I do need :( ) FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE X is also unhappy with the mach64, but I have pulled and installed the Mach64 Xserver v3.1.2B and is working perfectly.

Here's my particular The key file here is resolv.conf. Simply add the following lines to it: domain netcom.com nameserver 199.182.120.203 nameserver 199.182.120.202 The "domain netcom.com" automatically appends the string "netcom.com" to all name server requests that don't have their own domain; so for example, all you have to do is type "popclient smtp.ix" instead of "popclient smtp.ix.netcom.com"). And the two "nameserver" lines set up the addresses for Netcom's primary and secondary nameservers. This will then properly lookup the Netcom DNS servers when doing name queries.

When you run a query to another machines on the outside world, your nameserver contacts one of the "root" nameservers (set up by the network authorities) who have data on the rest of the net. > QUESTION FOR THE MORROW > > We WILL be acting as our own DNS at some point...but for now, if you can > look at the files and help us place the right info in the right > places... I just think that our local host IP address needs to be in > there somewhere and I've tried all the permutations I can think of. Here are my example DNS files. These should help you set up a proper nameserver. In order to customize them to fit your site, you will need to know the following: * my domain name (yes, it is currently "fake") is: starfleet.gov * my IP address (Class C) is 192.160.60.xxx. This address is NOT fake, but is actually assigned to me by the NIC. So don't flame. * Note that some of the files (mainly, "hosts.rev", "named.local", and "named.boot") contain reversed IP addresses, for various reasons. In these, the IP address is listed BACKWARDS (so, for example, "60.160.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA" and [for the loopback] "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA"). * I have two hosts, ncc-1701-d and ds9. ncc-1701-d, being the server, is also available under the names "mail", "news", "ftp", "www", etc. * The "named.ca" file contains the a listing of all currently-active ROOT name servers. These are the name servers that are run by the official network authority, and contain data for domain names other than your own. Your name server will use this list when answering a query for a name that it doesn't know about. The command to run named is as follows: named -b /etc/namedb/named.boot It should be run out of /etc/rc.local, and NOT inetd or any other mechanism. It is a free-standing daemon. And, as always, full documentation is available in the named(8) man page, as well as in around /usr/share/doc/... Also, the UNIX SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION HANDBOOK (2nd edition) contains an *EXCELLENT* section on name server setup (it is by far the BEST UNIX admin reference book I've seen, I highly recommend it!)

The user interface is outside of the base OS (other than the FreeBSD specific install mechanism) and the same selections will be available on both FreeBSD and BSD/OS 2.0. System administration will be similar. Purchasing the FreeBSD CDROM from WC and the O'Reilly books mentioned in the FreeBSD bibliography will be a good way to get started on either system. If you have a web browser point it at www.freebsd.org. You may find that FreeBSD works well, is well supported and is suitable for your application and stick with it. In any case the experience will be appropriate if you elect to use BSD/OS. > If you're planning on buying BSD/OS, why the _hell_ are you asking here? Please.

The "CAPI"'s supplied for the ISDN boards are TSR's for MS-@#$ and are not usable under FreeBSD. Some intelligent ISDN boards have a more or less stripped down CAPI in firmware, but these implementations have not much in common with the CAPI specs and are provided to make the programming of the real CAPI easier. There is a CAPI 1.1 and 2.0 spec available for Unix, but it is STREAMS based and - because CAPI is a spec to interface a particular hardware to a programming interface - it must be written for every piece of hardware. So i doubt we ever get a CAPI interface for *BSD although it would be a very good thing to have. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?

The 'src' directory conatins all the source code and XF86312 the X-Windows stuff. The X distribution is very large, I think you'll need the following: X312SVGA.tgz, X312bin.tgz, X312ctrb.tgz, X312fnts.tgz, X312lib.tgz as a minimum. As before, include the man pages (X312man.tgz) if you have room. The SVGA server works fine with the C&T video card in your Toshiba. > > 2.

No, it picks out the stuff you need. Trouble is, I don't think you'll have the space. What disk have you got? Bearing in mind that you'll have the distributions in one partition and the system in another, the disk demands of a full install get very heavy. In my case the 770ish Mb disk is split about 50-50 for Win95 and FreeBSD. This douldn't allow me to copy the whole CD-ROM onto my FAT partition, and also didn't leave enough space for an 'everything' install of FreeBSD. > > 3.

Use the 'custom' option from the install menu and do the following: go into 'disklabel' and tell it where to mount the slices select the parts of the distribution I am adding (but not stuff I've already installed, don't select 'bin' again, for instance) commit. The only thing that gets re-done is the /dev directory. No harm in that.

Is there some workaround for this? > Maybe I could boot from the Dynamic Drive Overlay Partition and then it > would boot DOS? I believe this is a product like OnTrack DiskManager 6.x and 7.x which replaces the boot code with something like 64 sectors of boot loader for an INT 13 redirecting TSR and then makes the TSR do the geometry translation for you. OnTrack puts itself there with a fake partition entry that indicates that it's there and points to the real partition entry. Each disk access with the TSR loaded adds 64 to the absolute sector offest and accesses there instead. At the 64th sector, the normal DOS MBR is installed. The TSR loads it after it is loaded, and executes it. So the DOS MBR starts booting normally and *thinks* it's at the front of the disk. When BSD is installed, it knows to look for the OnTrack disk manager, but it doesn't necessarily know to look for the "Drive Overlay" code. So it is dangereous to install the BSD boot manager on this drive. What I recommend (even for OnTrack) is that you install normally, and then boot the DOS partition on the disk and install OS-BS from the DOS prompt -- this will make sure it is loaded AFTER the INT 13 TSR for geometry translation is loaded, so the MBR you replace will be the DOS MBR, not the "Disk Overlay" or "OnTrack" TSR-loading MBR. Don't install the OS-BS from the BSD install, since the OS-BS will be installed without the TSR loaded, and may not recognize it for what it is and install over the DOS MBR instead.

Depends. Is there a NetWare server ODI CAPI driver for the card? How about a 32 bit NDIS CAPI driver for the card? If the answer to either one is "yes", then you can use it under BSD, assuming you implement a kernel environment capable of accepting protected mode ODI drivers or protected mode NDIS drivers. This wouldn't be as hard as it sounds. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

NetScape should write a PID in the lock file, and when a potential conflict arises (ie: the lockfile is already there), it needs to do: if( kill( lockpid, 0) && errno == ESRCH) { /* * Kill will return -1 and set errno to ESRCH if * the process does not exist.

I've been working on installing FreeBSD 2.1.0 all day today, and am now at a point where I have some questions which I'm not having any luck answering myself. 1) I'm trying to get TCP/IP networking established, but without any luck. I have a 3COM 3c509 card installed. I am trying to get the ep0 driver to load/work. In boot-up, it does recognize the card as being there, but it gives an error about eeprom not reacting correctly (?). There is not a bootROM on this card. 2) At boot-up, it appears that the kernel has my geometry as being 1600+, and only 16 heads, and 1.6 million sectors. The numbers do not necessarily appear in this order. My question is, is this right? When I installed the OS, the geometry was set correctly. I have 826 cylinders, 32 heads, 63 sectors. 3) Is there a way, when booting from the hard drive, to get into a system setup screen, or anything. As of late, I have been working on some HPs which have a program called SAM. Is there anything like this, or even just like the install menu that can be accessed during runtime, or do all changes have to be done manually? Thanks for your help!

Sorry. ] > Did you ever come up with a solution? Somehow or another, I did... Which is to say, it is now working. > If so, I'd appreciate it if you could share it with me. Well, let's see. I think you've then read my description of what was happening. Are you seeing the same thing? What I've done since then is install the "new" release of both the OS and the XFree86. So, now it's: FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0: Thu Nov 16 10:47:14 1995 XFree86 3.1.2, I believe In my X86Config, I've set: Section "Device" Identifier "Number 9 GXE64 Pro 2M" VendorName "Number 9" BoardName "GXE64 Pro" # Chipset "Vision964" VideoRam 2048 ClockChip "Ti3025" # DacSpeed 135 # Book value DacSpeed 220 # Cheat a little Option "Number_nine" Option "power_saver" EndSection Careful. Note that I am lying here about my DAC speeds. I've got a Viewsonic 21 monitor. I've "xset" the timeout to 600, and "prefer blanking" in my .xinitrc: xset s 600 & xset s blank & I've also set the kernel to start the "green" screensaver in /etc/sysconfig: # Set blank time (in seconds) or "off" to turn it off (or NO for default) blanktime="600" # Set to screen saver desired: blank, green, snake, star (or NO for none) saver="green" I'm pretty sure that it is the *kernel*'s screen saver that is really kicking in and being effective here when NOT using X. I believe this part has always been working for me. When X is running (most of the time), I'm really not sure how it is happening. I'd like to believe that it is the "power_saver" option. I *think* this was one of the things that was a known bug in XF86 3.1.1 that was supposed to have been fixed in 3.1.2. Now, for some reason, it works, and I don't think I've really changed all that much. One thing that I know is different "now" than when I tried it before, is that I first had the kernel "blank", and then later switched to "green". If you've changed yours too, you may be seeing the same thing I did. So, when I reinstalled 2.1.0 and 3.1.2, things got better, apparently.... If you've got both the OS and the X releases up to date, then I'm not really sure what the problem could be. Linger bad stuff? Old LKM module? Vague.

It looks like to me that they are trying to emulate an Ethernet card. Where can I locate any info about using NDIS/ODI with FreeBSD ? If FreeBSD can work with NDIS/ODI, it should work with Packet Driver (PD) with ease. As I mentioned before the so called ISDN modem use the AT command sets e.g. Motorola BitSurfer. It emulates a "COM" port. This is also a workable solution. Best regards.

FreeBSD is almost certainly not compatible with this "Drive Overlay" product. Unfortunately, none of the FreeBSD developers has access to a machine using it, so compatability is not likely to be added in the near future. Installing FreeBSD will most likely result in an unbootable BSD partition (best case) or totally destroy your DOS partition(s) (worst case).
