Everything went just dandy. I then exported /usr/src and /usr/obj to my other machines so I could run installworld. The first one is running 3.2. Installworld dies trying to look for the listed files. It seems like I don't have some library installed on my fast machine (although they were originally done from the same CD). I simply touched the missing files and the complaints stopped, but I'd like to put the correct files in their place. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Now i thinking about buying something more modern which can print with better quality. I consider one of HP printers in around 130$. The problem is that they use HP language (is it called PCL?) and i do not know if i am going have problems with it under FreeBSD? Any ideas, comments, suggestions will be appriciated.

CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D+ Processor (unkown-class CPU) Origin Features AMD features (stuff not typed in) panic: CPU class not configured I reboot. When the bootloader comes up I press a key to get a command prompt. I type in kernel.old (just like the web site says). No dice. disk1s1a:> kernel.old kernel.old not found disk1s1a:> Is all I get now.

I've had also the opportunity to do a full restore this weekend-- after I lost a good chunk of my SCSI periphery to a faulty power cable that insidiously reversed the 5/12V leads--and I haven't been too happy with the speed either. Part of the blame goes to my old tape drive (250kB/s max), but even that didn't run continuously for part of the restore (probably /usr/src or /usr/ports), so a faster drive wouldn't have been any help there. > It's obvious from the slowly flickering drive activity and nic > card lights that the efficiency of this operation could be greatly > improved. Does anyone know what the problem is, and if there is > anything I can do about it? The problem is pretty obviously directory trees with lots of small files that require a disproportional amount of seeking by the hard disk. dump is a clever construct. It forks into five processes: one to watch the tty, one master, and three slaves that do the actual work in a round-robin fashion, so reading from disk and outputting the data run in parallel. restore is much more straightforward. It's just a single process that alternates between reading from tape and writing to disk. First, make sure that the disk writes aren't any slower than necessary. During the restore, mount the file system to be restored asynchronously or enable soft-updates. If that doesn't suffice, you might want to experiment with external buffering (buffer or team from the ports collection). I haven't tried this with restore yet, but it's a godsend for tar/cpio. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 24 8:54:15 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from cpd.landau.ac.ru (cpd.landau.ac.ru [193.233.9.7]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A3290150F5 for ; Sun, 24 Oct 1999 08:54:09 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from demon@cpd.landau.ac.ru) Received: (from demon@localhost) by cpd.landau.ac.ru (8.9.3/8.9.3) id TAA11713 for questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 24 Oct 1999 19:54:07 +0400 (MSD) Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 19:54:07 +0400 (MSD) From: Dmitry Sivachenko Message-Id: <199910241554.TAA11713@cpd.landau.ac.ru> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: fingerd exits with status 0x100 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello!

Upon release, I wanted to install the newer version 2.6.0 instead of the old one. After successful compiling and installing of the package, users may connect to the ftpd successfully and do anything, but upload files. When trying to upload files, an error occurs: 553: Could not determine pwdir: No such file or directory. I searched the archives, but had no luck of finding a solution. I re-installed 2.5.0 again, and all worked well. The ftp* configuration files are the same for both versions. I am wondering if this a FreeBSD problem or a wu-ftpd one? FreeBSD is 3.3-STABLE and the configuration files of wu-ftpd live in /usr/local/etc and are also linked in /etc. Please help, thanks in advance.

(-: -Dean ------------- All, I cvsuped -stable today and made world on my fast machine. Everything went just dandy. I then exported /usr/src and /usr/obj to my other machines so I could run installworld. The first one is running 3.2. Installworld dies trying to look for the listed files. It seems like I don't have some library installed on my fast machine (although they were originally done from the same CD).

You will not get an ifTable entry unless you're capable of doing some kind of encapsulation on it. Layer 1 lines wouldn't give you much anyway. Joe Clarke P.S.

I neglected to answer this the first time around since I didn't know the answer. But I do know this advice is not sound. The Sony CDU31A is NOT a SCSI CD-ROM. It is supported by the scd0 driver in FreeBSD. The CDU31A wires up to a proprietary interface (read as: some funky ISA card whose sole purpose is to support this CD-ROM). I have a couple of these in some old 486's. It was hard enough to get _one_ of those things to work. I didn't even know you could chain those things. If you are having problems, I might be able to provide the references I found that helped me get mine to work. -- Crist J.

I noticed an ugly interaction between vinum's stripe sizes and ufs. My first try used the default stripe size of 256k and newfs defaults. Watching iostat when I did the restore of my file system to the new volume, I could see all the io going to one disk during the first part of the restore (restore of the dir structure ?) then a 4 to 1 imbalance of io during the rest of the restore. A du on the resulting file system did all its io on one disk. I tried changing the newfs cylinders/group to 19 (from 16) but this had little effect. I then rebuilt my vinum plex with a stripe size of 257k (rather than 256k) and newfs -c 19 and this works MUCH better. I now see very even distribution of io during the restore, directory operations and general file access. Prime numbers == good. I've probably managed to get vinum into a fairly optimal state by tinkering, but are there any recommendations for stripe sizes or newfs parameters for vinum use on striped configurations? Greg, you should probably think about changing the default stripe size since the default gives very non-optimal results on 2 disks (and probably on any even number of striped disks). This was all on a very recent 4.0 -current but probably applies to vinum in 3.x as well. -- Kevin Street street@iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 24 12: 0:32 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from fastlane.net (fastlane.net [209.197.224.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B2D37150FA for ; Sun, 24 Oct 1999 12:00:25 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from leoric@fastlane.net) Received: from fastlane.net (ftworth.tx.tnt1.17.fastlane.net [209.197.193.17]) by fastlane.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA22045 for ; Sun, 24 Oct 1999 14:00:24 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <38135666.6F6D61E3@fastlane.net> Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 13:56:39 -0500 From: leoric X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: questions Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am running Freebsd Release 3.3.

The first computer to boot up works fine and is intialized as 100baseTX full-duplex. Whichever computer boots up second initializes its network card as 10Mbps half-duplex and the kernel keeps giving the error "vr0: watchdog timeout, but only if the other computer is running freebsd.

An HP printer will work fine. Take a look at apsfilter in the ports (/usr/ports/print/apsfilter) which will help you set up a printer so that it can print anything.

I had FreeBSD installed on one of them as standalone (i.e. only OS) for a while, booting 2.2.7 off of wd0s1 (or 1:wd(0,a)kernel) properly for a while. I then placed the HD in wd2 for a while (took me a while to figure out how to get it to dual boot properly but got it to work) but then again I had access to the 2.2.7 CD's at the time. Now all I have is a 2.2.8 boot and 2.2.8 fixit at hand to repair it. I replaced FreeBSD as a standalone on the system, in wd0. The boot floppy properly recognizes the HD during the boot sequence. The HD gives me the boot prompt when I boot without the floppy. Problems: 1- Booting off the HD gives me a bad disklabel error (probably normal since I relabeled it as booting off wd2 last time). 2- Booting with the floppy gives me all the necessary install options. However, I'd never used the fixit floppy before and there is little info on how to use it. I start the holographic shell (still can't figure out what commands are available to me at that point since nothing I've tried seems to work, like ls and mount). I then start up the fixit floppy. Kind of counter- intuitive (and F1 info doesn't really help here) since I initially expected that chosing 2 would bring me directly to the necessary prompt but you still need to start the shell first (keep getting the message I should enter a writable fixit floppy). However it does mount it to /mnt2 on the shell. Still can't see anything. No commands seem present on the floppy. Can't figure out what's on it. Questions: 1- Is there a quick and dirty way to get FreeBSD to recognize the wd0 HD as its boot drive and stop giving me a bad disklabel error? 2- What is available on both the emergency holographic shell and the fixit floppy, considering I've never used either in the past? I've already searched the handbook/web pages and the mailing list archives and found nothing that seemed related to this. Please reply all.

Then go to fdisk. Select the drive FreeBSD's / is on. Use 'S' to set that partition active. Then hit 'W'. FreeBSD will prompt you for a boot manager. If FreeBSD is the only OS on the machine, select standard. You should be set after that. FreeBSD should boot from wd0, and it should find /kernel and root just fine. The fixit floppy has undergone a bunch of changes since I first used it. You should be able to boot off the install floppy, then select the Fixit option. Then, select the Floppy option. It should mount the floppy, and give you some message about what's going on. You should have access to all the utils like ls, mount, umount, fsck, mv, cp, etc. It's just enough to get you going. In earlier releases of FreeBSD, I think the fixit floppy was bootable. I don't think this includes 2.2.8, though (but you could try).

For a long time I participate in one distributed computational project ( see http://www.mersenne.org for details). So I'am running a special program at low priority (nice=20), that utilizes all CPU power. After upgrading from 3.1-RELEASE to 3.3-STABLE I've noticed that average performance (averaging period is big enough to eliminate impact from other tasks ) of this programm is only 77% from measured performance on 3.1R and same hardware. I also notice some strange thing: top shows about 30% 'interrupt' at CPU states line. Maybe someone could help me to find out what happens? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Andrew.

I use IDE drives and I have to set the flags for my hardrives to 0xa0ffa0ff after each cvsup and build world or upgrade. The default GENERIC is changed and I re-create my kernel configuration file. This doesn't apply if you have scsi drives but high IDE usage can cause a significant increase in the interrupt rate if the 32-bit transfers, DMA, and sector read ahead isn't specified. I also see a factor of 4 faster transfer rate off of my IDE HD's after I boot with the flags set.

But it seems unlikely that my IDE drives cause this disaster -- I haven't any significant disk usage during large periods of time ( I mean constant disk usage). So it is difficult for me to belive in this stuff. But anyway, thanks for your help. Andrew.

The first screen which asks which installation you want to use pops up again, eg Novice,Expert etc.. At this stage since the only option to exit is to "Exit Install" I simply chose this option and reboot. However when i try to start freebsd, it seems to load the kernel but that's it. After that it just reboots again by itself. Could someone help me with this problem. Thanks for your assistance.

Ah, much better. If you don't put in carriage returns, my next mail on sendmail will talk about w=$ macros, ruleset 3, and a mailertable hashed database. ;) Anyway, I don't have my Complete FreeBSD handy, but you seem a bit confused about what 'aliasing' means. The 'DM' entry in sendmail.cf will make mail look like it is _from_ 'whereever.org' but has nothing to do with what mail is or is not identified as local (or what is allowed to relay for that matter). It only modifies that 'From:' line on the outgoing mail. It sure seems to me that if you have a sendmail.cw containing, zookware.com www.zookware.com mail.zookware.com And the line, DMzookware.com In sendmail.cf, that you will have sendmail working like you want. So what is your question? Is something still not working? > -----Original Message----- > From: Joe "Marcus" Clarke [SMTP:marcus@miami.edu] > Sent: Sunday, October 24, 1999 1:03 PM > To: Daniel F.

I was looking at buying O'Reilly's "Building Internet Firewalls" since it appears to be a highly recommended book by both users as well as /etc/rc.firewall :) I was wondering though - it was published Sept 1995... has anything changed that much to make it outdated at this point?

Recently, I bought a Sony VAIO to do work on and have tried to set it up as a dual-boot machine: Linux and FreeBSD. I've encountered some difficulties (and some remarkably easy parts, too, that I'd be happy to comment at length on in a different forum -- send me email if you're interested) and I wanted to ask the user base at large to see if anyone else has figured this stuff out. 1) Boot manager conflicts 2) Sound doesn't work (for either OS) 3) PCMCIA network card not recognized (FreeBSD only) Details: 1) I installed FreeBSD first (since the Red Hat installer's disk partition utility couldn't make a BSD partition) and split the drive in half - half for Linux and half for BSD. At the end of the relatively smooth installation (off the 3.2 CD-ROM) I turned around and installed Linux without installing LILO. Then I tried booting the computer. It'd boot to FreeBSD no problem, but not to Linux. Then I tried reinstalling Linux and installed LILO; this overwrote the FreeBSD boot manager and on top of that, it wouldn't recognize the BSD partition as being bootable. Grr. So now I've got this great laptop that I really want to be using BSD on but that I also need to be able to run Linux on (for work) and it seems I can't get the two to play nice with each other. Does anyone have experience with doing this sort of thing? 2) This is a new-ish VAIO (PCG-F250, to be precise) and I suspect that Sony has done something funky with the sound card so that it'll only work with the custom Windows 98 OS that the machine shipped with. Does anybody know of any patches for that? (F'rinstance -- between 6.0 and 6.1 Red Hat managed to fix the DHCP client so that it'd work with an NT DHCP server.) 3) I've got a D-Link DFE-650 PCMCIA ethernet card. Linux manages to detect it alright, but I didn't see it in the list of supported cards in the 3.2 installer. Subsequently, I haven't been back in to rebuild the FreeBSD kernel since I haven't been able to boot back to FreeBSD (see 1). Does anyone know if this card is supported by FreeBSD? Thanks for any help anyone may offer...

FreeBSD 3.[23] machine -> Win98 slow (9k per second). 2. Solaris machine -> Win98 fast (500+k per second). 3. FreeBSD 2.2.7 machine -> Win98 fast (500+k per second). Just incase I was doing something insane, I installed a brand new 3.3-RELEASE machine running the GENERIC kernel, installed samba from the ports and did a smbclient "put" - still very slow performance. This is very repeatable, I have tryed this on 3 different hardware platforms on different networks and different network cards, they all do exactly the same thing. Tweeking with the samba config file makes no difference, this must be something way beyond that. We are talking 9k a second, not much more then a modem out of 100M ethernet cards on switched networks! These machine can ftp at rates closer to 5 megabytes a second and above. smbclient \\\\win98box\\test -N -c "put 1mfile" Could some reading this that has samba installed on a FreeBSD 3.3 machine please try this just so that I know that I am not going insane?

The new machine seemed ok while packages weren't so heavy (when not many people are on the net), but it died (due to kernel panic) and rebooted itself every 15-20 mins. It seems to me that the problem is somehow in IP Filter's configuration. Also, when I try to refresh the route table by "ipnat -f nat_rule", I got the following error message: ioctl(SIOCADNAT): Invalid argument My configuration was totally fine with FreeBSD 2.2.6 so I wonder if this is because I am using the same configuration of IP Filter for new machine.

You don't RC. :-) From RFC 974: It is possible that the list of MXs in the response to the query will be empty. This is a special case. If the list is empty, mailers should treat it as if it contained one RR, an MX RR with a preference value of 0, and a host name of REMOTE. (I.e., REMOTE is its only MX). In addition, the mailer should do no further processing on the list, but should attempt to deliver the message to REMOTE. The idea here is that if a domain fails to advertise any information about a particular name we will give it the benefit of the doubt and attempt delivery. I *think* this means an MTA should just find an address for REMOTE, whether that be directly from an A record, or indirectly through REMOTE's CNAME. (I'm sure about the first bit, I'm just not sure how CNAMEs fit into all this.) -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 25 5:53:39 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from achilles.noc.ntua.gr (achilles.noc.ntua.gr [147.102.222.210]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 634F214E75 for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 05:53:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from taslan@softlab.ece.ntua.gr) Received: from theseas.softlab.ece.ntua.gr (theseas.softlab.ece.ntua.gr [147.102.1.1]) by achilles.noc.ntua.gr (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA13545 for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 15:53:28 +0300 (EET DST) Received: by softlab.ece.ntua.gr with SMTP id PAA14862 ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 15:53:28 +0300 (EET DST) Received: by ezzeddin.cs.ece.ntua.gr with Microsoft Mail id <01BF1F01.52C47BA0@ezzeddin.cs.ece.ntua.gr>; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 15:55:13 +0300 Message-ID: <01BF1F01.52C47BA0@ezzeddin.cs.ece.ntua.gr> From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=D4=DF=EC=EF=F2=5F=C1=F3=EB=E1=ED=DF=E4=E7=F2?= To: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Is there any link between freebsd and MS windows?

Make sure you've CVSup'd the latest samba port. On 9/24 patch-ah was added which makes a mod to lib/util_sock.c to resolve this problem on FreeBSD machines: Here's the log description of the patch. It seems to explain exactly your problem, but you didn't give enough info about your samba port installation to tell whether you got this patch or not. ----- start log msg for patch-ah ----- revision 1.1 date: 1999/09/24 04:29:42; author: cpiazza; state: Exp; Add a patch to fix a problem with very low write speeds with samba on freebsd. Following is description made by one of the Samba developers: "The problem is we switched to using recv() with the MSG_WAITALL flag instead of read(). This makes Samba faster on most systems. On FreeBSD it causes a massive slowdown and I don't know why. To fix it, change the definition of MSG_WAITALL to be zero in lib/util_sock.c and recompile 2.0.5a. I'm hoping someone from FreeBSD will get back to me with some explanation. Regards, Jeremy Allison, Samba Team." This problem where observed by almost all samba-2.0.5a users and typically it led to 10-20x decrease in write speed.

But be sure you know how to patch your software, too. Long answer: rc.firewall does basic packet filtering. Packet filtering has not changed since 1995. Likewise, BIF gives a good grounding in practical paranoia. These things are timeless. The effectiveness of packet filtering has decreased (IMHO, open to debate), but configuring it hasn't. Computer security has changed greatly since 1995. The changes are largely related to the tools we have and the personalities involved, not to the attitude you need to have. The question is, how far into computer security do you want to go? Don't say "all the way": if that's the case, and you are just getting into packet filtering, you have a *looong* way to go. I've been doing security fairly intensively for three years now, and I consider myself just barely above average. ==ml > Hey all...

The concepts are still valid, the principles remain the same. There seems to be a shift from the use of plugs/proxies to stateful packet filters and NAT but that's implementation details. It's the best book I've seen for hands-on understanding of firewalls. But it's not going to be a direct guide to how to config a certain package like IPFW, IPF, Cisco ACLs, TIS FWTK, etc. That's a good thing -- learn the concepts, the figure out what syntax you need for the package you've chosen. Learning the concepts first also helps you to evaluate which products (or combinations of products) you'd prefer to implement, like FWTK, NAT, IPF/IPFW, etc. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 25 7:27:29 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail2.quintiles.com (ns2.quintiles.com [205.139.234.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 5883B14BFD for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 07:27:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from RWinters@QKan.Quintiles.com) Received: (qmail 2497 invoked from network); 25 Oct 1999 14:27:09 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO qrtplc01.qrtp.quintiles.com) (10.1.54.11) by 10.1.131.20 with SMTP; 25 Oct 1999 14:27:09 -0000 Received: by qrtplc01.qrtp.quintiles.com(Lotus SMTP MTA v4.6.5 (863.2 5-20-1999)) id 85256815.004E7CA2 ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 10:17:17 -0400 X-Lotus-FromDomain: QUINTILES From: RWinters@QKan.Quintiles.com To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Message-ID: <85256815.004E7B88.00@qrtplc01.qrtp.quintiles.com> Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 09:25:23 -0500 Subject: Re: Problems installing 3.3 Release over DOS partition Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: multipart/mixed; Boundary="0__=uHhSE7arDv0F1P0DbscQ23cczXN1vTx08f30Yshl8PH1SwnKxJpU3Az4" Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG --0__=uHhSE7arDv0F1P0DbscQ23cczXN1vTx08f30Yshl8PH1SwnKxJpU3Az4 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline OK, I tried deleting the freebsd\bin directory and copying over (using binary) everything in the bin directory again.

Greg Lehay's book was useless- it was so far up in geek land it I am normally very polite but maybe you should try spelling his name correctly first! I read part of Greg's book this weekend. Certainly a beginner cannot expect to understand everything in the book but I think you should at least be able to get an overview on how things are done. >was amazing.

I'm no unix geek, i just migrated from linux because i also wanted the stability, but frankly, if you don't want to roll up your sleeves and get down-and-dirty with OS stuff, maybe you should consider Caldera or Mandrake Linux. I don't say that as a put-down or anything, it just seems that maybe a ready-to-use distro would suit your needs better. Linux offers a great deal of stability right now, and if you really don't see what freebsd has to offer maybe it's because you don't need it. Frankly, if i had had any serious problems whatsoever, i was going to run screaming back to mandrake 6.1. But i was lucky. I still have no zip support, no sound, and no good wordprocessor, but i'm also a CIS student and i like fooling around with this OS. If you DON'T like fooling around with an OS, go back to Linux. If it comes down to an installation procedure souring your taste on alternative-to-MS OS's, then the choice is clear to me: go with what works for you. I started on Linux THEN moved. That's usually the recommended route. -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 25 8:43:58 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from kirk.giovannelli.it (kirk.giovannelli.it [194.184.65.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1ACC714BCD for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 08:43:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gmarco@scotty.masternet.it) Received: from scotty.masternet.it ([194.243.20.91]) by kirk.giovannelli.it (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA00320 for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 17:43:35 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from gmarco@scotty.masternet.it) Message-ID: <381479D4.BDAF3B1D@scotty.masternet.it> Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 17:40:04 +0200 From: Gianmarco Giovannelli X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Samba and MS Post Office Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is there a tools/program/utility that can simulate the M$ Post Office so the Outlook Win 9x clients can share the email addresses stored and managed by the Samba Server?

I found Greg's book to be extremely helpful. Actually, my FreeBSD install went a lot easier than installing NT, followed by installing the Service Pack of the week, followed by installing the last 4000 security patches discovered since last week. Am I an MS hater? No. I am an mcse and an mcsd. But I have moved my web site and firewall to Apache and FreeBSD after using MS proxy server for two years. My advice is to try the book again, and go with the flow. It is not Windows, so don't try to force fit the Windows paradigm onto Unix. You can also pitch my advice out the window, if you want. I managed to major in Chemistry also. *grin* Gene Harris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 25 8:45:42 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from pebkac.owp.csus.edu (pebkac.owp.csus.edu [130.86.232.245]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8F8BE150B4; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 08:45:37 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu) Received: from owp.csus.edu (mothra.ecs.csus.edu [130.86.76.220]) by pebkac.owp.csus.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA52345; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 08:44:13 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <38147AC9.B644ECEB@owp.csus.edu> Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 15:44:09 +0000 From: Joseph Scott Organization: Water Programs - CSU Sacramento X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.36 i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Tony Jago Cc: Julian Elischer , freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Very Poor Samba -> Win9x performance [more] References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Tony Jago wrote: > > Further to my problem with slow smbclient "put"'s. > > 1.

There was a patch added to the samba port ( after 3.3 I believe ) to address this very issue. I would try a fresh 3.3 install, cvsup the ports collection, install samba from the ports and try your test again. For info on the patch see : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/samba/patches/patch-ah I also believe this will be addressed in samba-2.0.6 I think. -- Joseph Scott joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu Office Of Water Programs - CSU Sacramento To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 25 8:47: 1 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from peloton.runet.edu (peloton.runet.edu [137.45.96.205]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D1322151AC for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 08:46:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from brett@peloton.runet.edu) Received: from localhost (brett@localhost) by peloton.runet.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA06843; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 11:46:31 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from brett@peloton.runet.edu) Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 11:46:31 -0400 (EDT) From: Brett Taylor To: CKimmerl@SARCOM.COM Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: "easy installation"!!!!! yeah right In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, On Mon, 25 Oct 1999 CKimmerl@SARCOM.COM wrote: [super long rant of no content deleted] > Throughout the entire installation I found myself wondering how > anybody figures this shit out.

I am extremely new (read: 1 week) to unix administration myself (tho I am a pretty knowledgeable Unix end user, and an advanced computer user/administrator) and had a pretty easy install. Installed everything over the internet. My biggest gripe about the install was the partitioning. I did not understand BSD' (or unix in general) drive mapping. I did not understand the /var, /usr, etc, etc. So I had a friend help me out. Once I had that correct its been pretty easy ever since. The web site is pretty outdated as I learned the hard way about my SCSI controller (but I can learn to live w/o a CDROM). I had BSD up and running in a day and had it acting as my proxy server 6 days later (I work 75 hours a week, so give me a break ;). I've still got a long way to go before this box is where I want it. I have thoroughly enjoyed setting FreeBSD up, and look forward to finishing my install. I did not use any books for my install. I relied solely on the man pages, FreeBSD's web site and the read-mes (also this mailing list and my FreeBSD guru of a friend). Didnt even touch the howto files. Tho, I suppose if I would have looked at the howto stuff I would not have needed help with the partitioning.

BSD/Linux takes a spirit for adventure. If you don't have this, go back to your windows software as you will not be happy with either one. Unix and unix-like operating systems will require you to actually learn how things work and why. You will be rewarded by added stability, speed, and most of all, the satisfaction that you are wiser for the experience. If you are the type of person who is interested in this arrangement, then feel free to post intelligent,non-belligerent questions to this list and you might be suprised at how friendly and helpful people can really be, especially when they have a genuine love for the operating system. If not, then thats fine too. However, I believe you owe the group, and Greg especially, a very sincere apology.

Someone stated that the Samba port had patches to fix the speed problem seen with FreeBSD (it's not just 3.3, it's 2.0.5a and any recent FreeBSD, AFAIK). What they failed to mention is that the Samba port was updated after 3.3-RELEASE, and it looks like said patches are part of the post-3.3R update. So try downloading the latest port, and installing from that. I'll be doing the same today.

It is so geared The above is clearly draw out of frustration (I know how frustrating computer stuff can be--I've been using FreeBSD for almost 5 years now and there are still things I don't know about it). As one other person said, perhaps you could try and look around the website more for some more information before continuing. The following URL is a bit out of date, but not too bad: http://www.freebsd.org/~rpratt/31/index.html The most frustrating thing for people (I've found) is getting slices and partitions on disks done correctly (and setting things up correctly for dual-booting into Ebola '98--which you didn't say you were doing). Once you get past this, the basic installation should be the "bin" package (and probably the kernel source) along with X windows. Try reading through the entire URL above as it's pretty good (we just need to update it with 3.3 stuff--which isn't much). -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds CEG, CCE, Next Generation Flows, HLA | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 25 9:15:53 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from s8-37-26.student.washington.edu (S8-37-26.student.washington.edu [128.208.37.26]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3885B150B4 for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 09:15:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jcwells@u.washington.edu) Received: from localhost (jcw@localhost) by s8-37-26.student.washington.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA69454; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 21:13:46 GMT (envelope-from jcwells@u.washington.edu) X-Authentication-Warning: s8-37-26.student.washington.edu: jcw owned process doing -bs Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 21:13:46 +0000 (GMT) From: "Jason C.

If you think Linux is any harder or easier. You are in for a suprise. I have been using unix for a while now. I find Linux less comprehensible than FreeBSD.

Now your getting personal and also shortsighted. Out of the thousands of copies of this book that are sold do you suppose that thousands of people are writing in the same complaint as you. They are not. Greg, Greg's book and his near infinite patience with newbies are one of the greatest assets that this community has. Oh yeah, he hacks on FreeBSD too. I take advantage of his good will every time I log on to check my mail. Be careful when you lambaste a pillar of the community. FWIW, UNIX is way up in geek land. You will have better luck acclimating yourself to geek land than acclimating geek land to yourself. Do you realize that by writing to this forum that you have access to the very people who program and document this software? It is a very valuable resource which you will come to value if you can persist through your inexperience. >Throughout the entire installation I found myself wondering how anybody >figures this shit out.

If you think it is supposed to be easy, then you have made a mistake before you even started. I thought it was easy, the first time I installed, but I certainly went into the process with my eyes open and with no preconceptions of what I was about to experience. It's certainly no more difficult to set up than linux, and the installer makes quite a bit more sense in some places. Again check the handbook and faq before attempting to repeat. > It is so geared > towards unix experienced geeks that a person unfamiliar with > Unix is totally > lost.

Everybody 'figures it out', in the same way the get through what they can by themselves, read the faq and handbook and look in the mailing list archieves for similar problems. This is unix you know, so you are expected somewhat resourceful :) Others do what you have done, flame the list with gibberish, before looking at the available help resources. If you stick with freebsd and 'figure it out', you will look back and be embarrassed by that message...

To be exact I dropped out of high school.I had absolutely no experience with any OS except Windows. I installed freeBSD this past weekend (ver 3.2) and had no problems. AT ALL! It does require some leg work to learn and understand. And I'll admit I still don't understand alot of it but I'm having a great time learning. And it sure as hell beats Windows I installed an Ethernet on my boxes with Win98 and they just would not work. So I read about networking in Mr. Lehey's book and a few others I picked up and my boxes now talk to each other. Surely if someone with a 10th grade education can do it, others willing to put the time and effort into it can to. Good luck with what ever OS you choose.

MS's Post Office system was designed for internal company mail back before they believed in the internet (or intranets). Back to the original question, What are you trying to do exactly? The MS-Outlook clients can manage the Post Office directory without any dedicated server software (like MS-Exchange). MS Exchange enhances the PostOffice stuff somehow but for just mailing stuff internally and seeing everybody's address it's not needed. Do you want some sort of system that will allow all your internet-email users to share an address book? That's an entirely different problem. I think Pegasus had a solution to that but I don't know whether they have a unix version.

It is so geared I installed for the first time last night also and had little trouble. Am I a geek? Perhaps some might see me that way. But thats not really an issue. I am a UNIX newbie. I've used it before a few times, but thats about it. But I did about a months reading in prep for this install. Unless you are already a computer geek, I dont think you can assume that you can start right up instantly.

Of course, what can you expect from a guy who speaks 3 >languages and went to school for chemistry, etc. He can't write beginner >books, that's for sure. Throughout the entire installation I found myself I dont hink its a beginner book. If you are a beginner then I dont even think FBSD is the right thing for you. You have to have a good grounding in computers and their technology if you ever expect to make it anywhere in FBSD and a positive go get it attitude to boot. This is not to say you cant learn it along the way, but the positive go get it attitude you have to have from the start. Hrmnn.. I followed the book line by line and everything worked close to what was supposed to happen. I did reread a lot of sections a few times, but over all I though it wasn't half bad. I could sugest a few places that need some expanding, but this is not the time or place. Had some trouble with the partitions/slices and getting thrown out of the install procedure (something about receiving a signal 11), but I just started over and it went well. >wondering how anybody figures this shit out. I'd appreciate any "PRACTICAL" >help as I do not want to give up on FreeBSD. > Read read read. Listen listen listen. read some more. This is not a spoon feeding OS, this is a hunter gathering type. You have to go out and learn what it all is about. Thats kind of the mystic that draws some to FBSD and UNIX in general. If you expect it all to be handed to you on a platter cooked and ready then I'm afraid you will be disapointed. If you cant find the answer after looking all over the place, then post here and see what happens. Give FBSD another shot. Be patient and follow greg's book as best you can. I did a basic install (no XFree cfiging and not net cfging) in a few hours. It went well. Next step is the x config. Have to read the chapter on it first so i'll wait till this weekend. >Sincerely, >-ChadK >chadk@freewwweb.com > > Purely my .02, -michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 25 10:13:14 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from tetron03.tetronsoftware.com (tetron03.tetronsoftware.com [208.236.46.108]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D525D14BCD for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 10:13:04 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from zeus@tetron03.tetronsoftware.com) Received: from tetron03.tetronsoftware.com (tetron03.tetronsoftware.com [208.236.46.108]) by tetron03.tetronsoftware.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA11885; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 12:14:48 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from zeus@tetron03.tetronsoftware.com) Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 12:14:48 -0500 (CDT) From: Gene Harris To: Shannon Wheeler Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 50 console lines In-Reply-To: <046701bf1f0a$0f3db6e0$0307070a@shannon-s> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I had to enable vesa emulation in my kernel in order to get the vesa modes to work.

Maybe this is due to something other than problems with the installations files? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance. First post follows: Please help a complete newbie.... I'm trying to install the 3.3 release over a DOS partition and I'm having some trouble. The trouble is that I'm getting a "Makedev returned non-zero status" error message and installation quits. When I did an alt-F2, I found quite a few "chown not found" error messages and "abort trap" error messages. I decided to do the whole installation again, but this time I watched the message log. During the copying bin into / process, I got a lot of error messages about "stand/cpio: bad header", "stand/cpio: bad checksum", and "stand/cpio: ignoring XXXXX bytes of junk". I thought this was probably due to a problem with one of the files in the /bin directory, so I copied (FTP) over everything in the /bin directory to my local hard drive again. The problem repeated itself. I've also tried remaking the floppies with fresh copies of kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, but that didn't work either.

I thought that might be causing the problem, so I tried deleting Linux and using the entire drive for FreeBSD, but that did not fix the problem.

The PC is our company's Intranet server (www/ftp/dns/qmai= l/mysql) so throughput is important. Network performance on this server has bee= n very unsatisfactory, to say the least. I've obtained a maximum of 100k/sec = (average of 50k/sec) while ftping files onto the server or downloading files fro= m the server. When I first installed FreeBSD, I had a 3Com 3C905B-TX NIC in = the computer. Soon after I finished the installation of FreeBSD, I noticed= the poor network performance. I figured I did not have the correct drivers inst= alled for the 3Com NIC and decided to create a custom kernel. I followed the ker= nel configuration howto found on the FreeBSD.org web page very carefully. = I commented out the lines corresponding to the network cards I never plan= ned on using in the future and left support for the 3Com 3C905B-TX and the Int= el EtherExpress Pro 10/100B NICs in the kernel. I booted to the new kerne= l and still experienced the slow network performance. I checked the ifconfig= output for the xl0 device to make sure it was using 100baseTX , w= hich it was. I was stumped since I originally had Red Hat 6.0 installed on the= exact same server and the throughput under Red Hat was exceptional. The only= thing that had changed was FreeBSD. The next thing I tried was switching out= the 3Com card for the Intel card (I had this card in another system so I know it= is a good card).

What sort of hub/switch are you using? 2. What client are you using to perform the ftp? (Win98, NT, Linux...) 3. Have you tried setting a direct connection (full duplex) between the client and freebsd server using a cross over cable? On occasion, I have seen the Intel driver incorrectly negotiate the wrong duplex mode with certain hubs (Yes, I said hubs, not switches.*grin*) . I was only able to track down the problem when creating a direct connection with a cross over cable. Often, the type of performance you are seeing also goes hand in hand with corrupted files after the transfer.

You can mount your dos partitions (so those directories are readable and writable) but you can't run binaries from those operating systems. vmware is not available for FreeBSD at this time; there are some utilities in ports that let you run some dos programs.

You should print out the text files on the first cdrom, and you should read those files, noting especially anything applying to your own hardware. This set is useful so you can, if necessary, reinstall or use the live file system or install ports from the cd's without a great deal of download time. You should find the FAQ and the handbook on www.freebsd.org and look at the information on installing. It really isn't easy; a great deal of it will be entirely unfamiliar if you have no unix experience. As someone told me, it is a different way of thinking about things, so trying to apply analogies from Windows9x or dos may lead you astray. There's a freebsd-newbies mailing list where you may find some empathy and also a "newbies" section on www.freebsd.org, where there are links helpful to new users. While it isn't easy, it should be fun. If you don't enjoy it and the process of figuring it out, it may be that it's just not the sort of thing you want to spend time with.

I wanted to add a level of redundancy to our mail server so I purchased the Raidstation3 kit from DPT which includes an external 3 bay drive enclosure and a PCI raid controller. I populated the controller with 64 megs of ram and popped in 3 Ultra2 10,000rpm Seagate Cheetah drives. I built the raid and mounted the two partitions as /var/mail and /var/spool/mail. I now get strange unresponsive timeouts from the machine at random times.. this is what iostat looks like when the machine is unresponsive, sometimes up to 10 seconds at a time. This was not happening before installing this RAID so it leads me to believe that the file system is the problem. tty da0 da1 da2 cpu tin tout KB/t tps MB/s KB/t tps MB/s KB/t tps MB/s us ni sy in id 0 76 0.00 0 0.00 0.00 0 0.00 64.00 1 0.06 5 0 1 15 79 What does the KB/t mean, it seems that it never gets past 64 and when it hits 64 the machine becomes unresponsive. Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Some of the sound cards have chips that are not yet supported. My VAIO Picturebook has sound and a modem that work. freebsd-mobile's archives might to a worthwhile search; there's a good deal on VAIOs there. Probably you deleted the sort of odd partition on the hard drive? That's the hibernation partition. Mine hibernates with Fn-, which works from the bios. Remember the drives in these things are ide. I shrunk my Win98 partition to install FreeBSD, and as I recall I didn't worry about a 1024 cylinder mark, so FreeBSD starts a couple of gigabytes into the drive. That at least works. My experience installing FreeBSD and RedHat dual-boot on an ide drive is that FreeBSD should be installed first (because RedHat will not respect a FreeBSD slice beyond the extended partition where it's installing, and will write over it) and then RedHat given more or less what's left, in the middle of two FreeBSD slices. You can reinstall the FreeBSD boot manager either from a dos bootable floppy with the files on it (or use osbsbeta from the /tools directory) and make sure lilo isn't installed in the mbr. None of these boot manager has any sophistication in comparison to System Commander, but SC needs a dos partition in which to keep its files. If you need to make the FreeBSD partition bootable (to install the boot manager from /stand/sysinstall, also possible) you can do this with dos fdisk. I wrote up some notes on getting pccards to work that are available at http://andrsn.stanford.edu/FreeBSD/pccards.html. I don't know how well 3.2 handles pccards, but at least this will give you a shot at it.

If you only want to run Samba without connecting to the internet, then one of the clients can create an MS Mail Post Office from the control panel, using a share from Samba. This post office can be used for internel mail only. The caveat is that whoever creates the post office owns it. They will need to create the user's mail boxes using the post office tool that ships with Windows. Also, this approach to email will not utilize any of the mail services or mail accounts on the freebsd box. If you are feeling adventurous, you can setup a sendmail daemon, a pop3 daemon and an LDAP server. This will allow you to send email internally and externally.

The recommendation at http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/faq.html is that you run cvsup(1) first with your current release as the tag to build a checkout file.

I spent a year with various versions of linux and then migrated to FreeBSD. Do I understand all of it? No! Do I understand the Complete FreeBSD, not all of it. Are the "advisors" too sophisticated? Yes. Guys who understand Chemistry aren't so bad, its the one's who like and understand differential equations that will get you every time. I found a copy of "Using Unix" at Walden Books for $5.99 and am using it chapter by chapter to teach my eleven year old son. It's surprising how much you yourself learn when you try to teach someone else. There is no easy way to learn. Keep trying.

I was wondering if anyone has run across any log analysis program(s) that calculates (or estimates) the number of unique visitors in a given period. I know that this calculation is totally subjective, but I am trying to get a rough idea, it doesn't have to be 100% accurate, just consistent over time. The other difficulty I will have in calculating this is also the fact that I don't use cookies. Webtrends does a decent job of calculating visitors per day, I just can't find anything that guesstimates uniques. I currently use both analog (unix and win95) and webtrends (win95 only and I won't put it on my unix server) and I have found something called openwebscope (for win95 at least) from leechsoftware.com that claims to do this however downloading and installing on two different computers results in nothing working in both situations. I sent an email to their support address 10 days ago and nada. Doubtful purchase now. Any solutions or ideas are certainly welcomed.

I have spent on you guys an have no got much out it. I need some help! I get the message "write failure on transfer every so often". But at the end I get the message "can't find kernal image to link on the root file system." You are going to have a hard time booting the hard drive I am afraid. Then when I try to start the system I get to the prompt "F1...BSD" "EFUALT F?" I Press F1 and get the message "cant find kernal" then the message "then I get the message Boot default: 0:wd(0,a)kernal" over and over and over and over etc. I tried to install the the system six times today and the day is over. I am ready to give up. It Gives me the "can't find kernal image to link on the root file system." You are going to have a hard time booting the hard drive I am afraid." at the end of a long install. Where can I find some documentaion on this problem and how to fix it? You dont have a search engine like novells tech assistance.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Where is my CVSROOT? I seem to need it for making release (of 4.0 on a 4.0 system, current as of Oct 24). I checked the archives of this list. My question did pop up a few times before in the same context.... but was not answered. Make release starts OK, but stops complaining there is no CVSROOT. There isn't on my system. I checked. My cvsup-file reads: *default tag=. *default host=cvsup2.nl.freebsd.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-crypto src-eBones src-secure src-all ports-all A page in the handbook says the CVSROOT is what is after prefix. I tried setting that. No go. I tried /usr/src. Same. Can I create this directory CVSROOT myself? And where? And what do I put into it? I do have a directory /usr/src/CVS with files Entries, Repository, Root and Tag. Make world works OK, if that means something in this regard. I am trying to make a release of current to install it on another box. I can of course download a snapshot, but like to save on online time, for which I pay per minute :-( Thanks!

So I went to /usr/ports/mail/smail, and did a make, make install. Everything seemed to work fine. Unfortunately, I quickly decided that I liked sendmail better. I went back into the smail ports directory, and did a make deinstall. Here is where my problems started. I'm running 3.3-Release #1. When sendmail runs on bootup, I get this error message. sendmail: main: bad stat() of smail binary /usr/local/sbin/sendmail Which confuses me, because the sendmail binary is in /usr/sbin/ not /usr/local/sbin. And the smail part of the error message makes me think I did something wrong in the process of deinstalling it. I made a symlink to point from /usr/local/sbin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail. It seemed to fix the error, but I didn't really want to do that, because, err, it seemed broken to me. Where did I go wrong?

But in a slightly different fassion. Linking files and directories can be messy and is effectivly "hacking" the problem. You should recompile a new version. try this; 1. Download the latest stable bind 8.2.X from http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/ 2. unzip the file with tar -xzvf bind-src* 3. in the ports directory there is a freebsd section. 4. in Makefile.set you can define all the compilation variables such as bin location. Descriptions are in the INSTALL file under the src directory. 5. I sent mine to check the /etc directory for the named.conf file, /usr/local/sbin for named bins. /usr/libexec for named-xfer. It works well. A also updated the man files by downloading the docs and running make install from the /doc/man directory Also check out the procmon utility on http://netclub.chinascape.cn.net/sa/htmfiles/0405/x0018.htm this is good for ensuring that DNS will always be working. As this flavour of unix does not use an inittab file.

It would seem that you have a misconfigured or broken card, does the card work under other operating systems? and if so, does it have the same IRQ/port settings as you have set under freebsd? you can view what freebsd thinks the card is on by looking at /var/run/dmesg.boot. As a side note, the machine totally hung? or can you ^C it while it's doing "hostname" if that's the case then you need to add your IP information to /etc/hosts. good luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 25 22:15:28 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from fw.wintelcom.net (ns1.wintelcom.net [209.1.153.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 71C6B152EA for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 22:15:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bright@wintelcom.net) Received: from localhost (bright@localhost) by fw.wintelcom.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA21707; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 22:37:40 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 22:37:40 -0700 (PDT) From: Alfred Perlstein To: Fweep Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: your mail In-Reply-To: <19991026050624.24668.qmail@nwcst323.netaddress.usa.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On 26 Oct 1999, Fweep wrote: > Hey all. > I'm not on the mailing list. > I suddenly became interested in installing UNIX on my computer, after hearing > all the great things about it, and I'm wondering how it handles integrated > boards, such as integrated sound cards, integrated video cards, etc. Does > FreeBSD support this? The short answer is your milage may vary, without telling us your configuration we can't really be of any assistance can we? However, I have machines with integrated ncr and 7880 controllers, integrated sound and intel ethernet cards that all work fine. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 25 22:16: 6 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from s8-37-26.student.washington.edu (S8-37-26.student.washington.edu [128.208.37.26]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2F47C152EA for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 22:16:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jcwells@u.washington.edu) Received: from localhost (jcw@localhost) by s8-37-26.student.washington.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA71230; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 10:14:06 GMT (envelope-from jcwells@u.washington.edu) X-Authentication-Warning: s8-37-26.student.washington.edu: jcw owned process doing -bs Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 10:14:06 +0000 (GMT) From: "Jason C.

This depends primarily on the chipset used for these boards. You can find more at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.3R/notes.html. This is not the only source but it is the most stuff in one place. Basic VGA display shouldn't be a problem. For X windows and advanced video, you will have to go to www.xfree86.org. You might try a minimal binary install with kernel sources to test the waters.

I chose FreeBSD You were right, FreeBSD is more stable than Linux, but perhaps that you dont need the reliability of FreeBSD.

I'll try Linux, maybe it will be more easily I installed a redhat linux last week and I can see any real difference with the freeBSD installation program and the redhat one. except that FreeBSD one is more powerful in case of problem (I had to reinstall redhat twice due to a problem with lilo) > understood.

I installed FreeBSD3.2 on a PC with two SCSI hard disks. The disk with FreeBSD is numbered SCSI#02, and the other disk SCSI#0 is using WindowsNT. The bootup device of the SCSI manager has be changed to 02. When booting, the kernel is loaded, and then an error "Panic: cant mount root" appears. I have checked the FAQ, but the first solution listed there seems cannot work. There is no "Boot:" prompt during the bootup process. And I am also wondering how the command "l:wd(2,a)kernel" should be modified to apply to SCSI hard disks. Your prompt reply is appreciated.

What does this command tell you about the mounted filesystems: mount It looks like your /usr partition isn't mounted. Look at your /var/run/dmesg.boot boot probe messages and see if there's anything in there about a failure to detect one of your disks. Did you perhaps install a new disk recently? Maybe you need to make apprpriate changes in /etc/fstab ? Ciao, Sheldon.

Use the ATAPI_STATIC option as well. Make sure that your CDROM is not configured as a slave on a channel with no master. Make sure that the IDE channel is enabled in your BIOS. Go back to your previous kernel and verify that it still works with your current hardware configuration. If it does, what's changed in your kernel config. If it doesn't, what's changed in your hardware config. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.

That is why I buy these FreeBSD CDs from CDROM.COM. ___________________________________________________________________ To get your own FREE ZDNet onebox - FREE voicemail, email, and fax, all in one place - sign up today at http://www.zdnetonebox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 26 2:35:27 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mta4.snfc21.pbi.net (mta4.snfc21.pbi.net [206.13.28.142]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 06F4915390 for ; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 02:35:22 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from daikichi@cats.ucsc.edu) Received: from cats.ucsc.edu ([63.194.219.223]) by mta4.snfc21.pbi.net (Sun Internet Mail Server sims.3.5.1999.09.16.21.57.p8) with ESMTP id <0FK7006KVEMTF9@mta4.snfc21.pbi.net> for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 02:35:18 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 02:34:48 -0700 From: Brandon Rochon Subject: KINGMAX EN10T2T To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Message-id: <381575B8.A5226FBD@cats.ucsc.edu> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (Win95; I) Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-Accept-Language: ja Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm running FreeBSD 3.0 on my Compaq LTE Elite 4/75c. I'm looking for a pccard.conf entry for my Kingmax EN10T2T pcmcia ethernet card. I've tried various half-ass stabbings at it, but I'm rather lost. The best error I can get is a resource allocation failure for my Kingmax. I've been trying it with ed0. Originally, under the generic kernel, the card would be detected at ze and zp, but would fail to locate the card at 0x300 for both. I've since recompiled working off of the PCCARD kernel config, which I think has at least helped me detect my xjack modem. BTW, does anyone know of a config for my Compaq 28.8 pcmcia modem as well? I haven't even bothered with that one yet. I know I should install PAO, but I'm not sure how I can go about it without ethernet support. Any suggestions for installing PAO for 3.0 via other means?

If the patches are small (with the emphasis on small) you can post them to the stable or the hackers mailing list. If the patches are large, put them on a site and post the URL to the patches on a mailing list. In any case, make clear why you have posted the patches. Note that send-pr is the preferred way to send in patches that fix bugs. If the patches change some sort of behaviour, make sure to tell why it's a good thing to have the behaviour changed. The same applies to extensions.

If i'm in the wrong place, let me know and i'll re-post elsewhere. I just read something very interesting about Linux program execution, and i was wondering how FBSD compares in this respect. "The loading of a binary file into physical memory is not performed by the binary loader under Linux. Rather, the pages of the binary file are mapped into regions of virtual memory. Only when the program tries to access a given page will a page fault result in the loading of that page into physical memory." Does FBSD have a similar mechanism? If not, what advantages/disadvantages does FBSD have? The Linux method seems interesting and quite efficient. -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 26 6:27:26 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.facevalue.org (mail.facevalue.org [216.2.33.98]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3ADFA14CAF for ; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 06:27:22 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jasapp@facevalue.org) Received: from facevalue.org [206.252.170.219] by mail.facevalue.org with ESMTP (SMTPD32-5.05) id AC383EE0290; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 09:27:20 -0400 Message-ID: <3815AC22.F6288809@facevalue.org> Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 08:26:58 -0500 From: Jeff Sapp X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: sendmail/smail Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG >> sendmail: main: bad stat() of smail binary /usr/local/sbin/sendmail >> >> Which confuses me, because the sendmail binary is in /usr/sbin/ not >> /usr/local/sbin. > Are you _sure_ that /usr/sbin/sendmail is the sendmail binary and not a > symlink to something else?

Please check the permissions on your cgi-bin directory (or any other directory from which you intend to execute scripts.) I believe the correct access flags setting is 0755. For scripts, I think the correct settings are also 0755. I think you will find your index.cgi probably has access permissions of 744, which is insufficient for the nobody user. Note: You need to do this from within your shell, not via your apache.conf file.

Yes, FreeBSD does this in a similar way; a keyword often found for this is `demand paging' which was already introduced in 3BSD for the VAX architecture about 1980 (as far as I know).

It's probably having trouble creating a recovery file, which is useful if your system dies while you're messing around with a file. You should check the permissions of your /tmp and /var/tmp/vi.recover directories. The default is sticky world writable, owned by root:wheel. You can "make it so" with these commands: chown root:wheel /tmp /var/tmp/vi.recover chmod 01777 /tmp /var/tmp/vi.recover Ciao, Sheldon.

Some files may have permissions which allow a member of a group to write that file even if that group member is not the owner of the file. (I am ignoring special groups such as wheel.) Home might be the generic group that all users are a member of. The choice is entirely yours. On my box, my users are in group "users".

You can keep the user toor around with a non-standard shell like bash. This allows you to set root's shell as sh seperately from toor. In the event of trouble, bash may not always work, but sh should still work. I never use 'root' anymore. I always 'su toor' when I need to be superuser. This is because I like to use bash.

Greg's book is simply showing an example. You might want to add a group, such as "users" before you add your actual users. When I initially started working with FreeBSD, I made my first user a member of the wheel group. That way I could log in and 'su' to do system operations and then exit back to a normal user. You need to at least make one user a member of wheel so you don't need to log in as root in order to perform system maintenance.

This depends on your point of view. I do all, and I mean all, of my writing in LaTeX. I use the teTeX port (/usr/ports/print/teTeX). Recently included in the teTeX port is pdflatex, which will take your LaTeX text file and convert it to PDF for you. This has been a major boon to me for posting homework/exam solutions for the classes I teach as it's essentially impossible to write mathematical content well/easily in HTML. Pros for LaTeX: - it's a plain text file and can be easily read even before processing, and can be created on any old text editor - since it's plain text, mailing it to others is simple (no messy Word or other application attachments) - supports Postscript and Embedded Postscript images and overall Postscript output (for nice printing) - can output file to PCL language (for non-PS Hewlett-Packard printers) - I have an old HP LJ2p that works fine - since it's really a typesetting program you can define the layout to be EXACTLY what you want (how hard this is depends on what you want, but whatever layout you want is almost certainly possible) - you can use xdvi (comes w/ teTeX) to view the dvi files or ghostscript/ghostview/gv to view the Postscript output - even w/ gv I am almost 100% positive that it's smaller than WordPerfect or StarOffice or AbiWord - many packages/templates (for creating slides, HTML, foreign characters, special math characters, letters, PDF) are included Cons: - learning curve (you need to know the basics of what you're trying to do - if you know HTML/SGML it won't be a difficult transition) - finding a good book; no one I know who uses LaTeX likes the same book - I can think of 6 people off the top of my head and not one of us likes the same reference book Brett ***************************************************** Dr. Brett Taylor brett@peloton.runet.edu * Dept of Chem and Physics * Curie 39A (540) 831-6147 * Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics * Walker 234 (540) 831-5410 * ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 26 8:20:21 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from blackhelicopters.org (geburah.blackhelicopters.org [209.69.178.18]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5BDD81529F for ; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 08:20:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org) Received: (from mwlucas@localhost) by blackhelicopters.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) id LAA93657; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 11:19:59 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from mwlucas) From: Michael Lucas Message-Id: <199910261519.LAA93657@blackhelicopters.org> Subject: su -m vs. su toor?

I have a DELL 6350 that has an on-board Adaptec 7890 (LVD) controller. I've installed a secondary controller (2940U2W LVD) to connect the external PowerVault disk array. When I go to install, it selects drive 0 of the array to begin. This is not the desired behavior.

The modems are US Robotics 33.6 and are attached to a cyclades unit. The problem is that the modems constantly drop out of autoanswer. I want to create a crontab to call a shell script that will just send an AT command to the modems every 10 minutes to reset them. My problem is that I am not quite sure how to send a direct command to a modem in a shell script. I have researched this pretty carefully in the FreeBSD book and some other Unix texts that I have and I can't seem to find anything more than general ppp documentation so I hope I am not missing anything obvious here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Afaik, FreeBSD actually pre-pages in a small portion of the file, if you simply demand page the entire file right after startup you generate many page faults, handling pagefaults is fast is FreeBSD, however to avoid this a small portion will be preloaded.

Docs crew, can we get this FAQ'd, please? I'm writing this up nice and detailed this time for exactly this purpose. (If it's already FAQ'd, please pass me a URL and a pointy hat.) "I booted off my ATAPI CD-Rom, but the install program says no CD-Rom is found. Where did it go?" The usual cause of this problem is a misconfigured CD-Rom drive. Many PCs now ship with the CD-Rom as a secondary slave, with no secondary master. This is illegal according to the ATAPI specifications, but Windows lets you get away with it. Reconfigure your hardware so that the CD-Rom is on a controller with a master, either by adding a master device or making your CD-Rom the master. ==ml To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 26 11: 5:13 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from broccoli.graphics.cornell.edu (broccoli.graphics.cornell.edu [128.84.247.53]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D49C41523A for ; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 11:05:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mkc@Graphics.Cornell.EDU) Received: from graphics.cornell.edu by broccoli.graphics.cornell.edu with ESMTP (1.37.109.16/16.2) id AA129231103; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 14:05:03 -0400 Message-Id: <199910261805.AA129231103@broccoli.graphics.cornell.edu> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0zeta 7/24/97 To: Gene Harris Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, mkc@broccoli.graphics.cornell.edu Subject: Re: are files limited to 2 GB still?

I would be very glad if you could suggest something else. I attach the /etc/fstab and /var/run/dmesg.boot files, but I think they would not help you. I can add to my words, that it happened, when I was trying to install ftp server, maybe it would help you. And I'm able to login as "root", I can't login as any other user.

NFSv2 does have a 2 gig filesize limit, but FreeBSD can do NFSv3 mounts which handle large files. Make sure that your HP-UX box can do NFSv3, and make sure that you are doing an NFSv3 mount from FreeBSD ('amd' defaults to v2 I think). -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 26 12: 4:49 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from news.uni-kl.de (news.uni-kl.de [131.246.137.51]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id C4FA314D3A for ; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 12:04:32 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from sold@cheasy.de) Received: from kit.uni-kl.de ( mail.kit.uni-kl.de [131.246.168.130] ) by news.uni-kl.de id aa24214 ; 26 Oct 1999 20:30 MESZ Received: from KIT_PRIAMOS/SpoolDir by kit.uni-kl.de (Mercury 1.43); 26 Oct 99 20:28:14 +0200 Received: from SpoolDir by KIT_PRIAMOS (Mercury 1.43); 26 Oct 99 20:28:12 +0200 Received: from router.merowingia.uni-kl.de (131.246.134.2) by kit.uni-kl.de (Mercury 1.43) with ESMTP; 26 Oct 99 20:28:05 +0200 Received: from mero-13a.merowingia.uni-kl.de (mero-13a.merowingia.uni-kl.de [131.246.135.13]) by router.merowingia.uni-kl.de (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA87862; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 20:27:44 +0200 (CEST) Received: (from sold@localhost) by mero-13a.merowingia.uni-kl.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA02777; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 20:27:00 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from sold) From: Christoph Sold Message-ID: <14357.62067.211630.631604@mero-13a.merowingia.uni-kl.de> Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 20:26:59 +0200 (CEST) To: Sheldon Hearn Cc: FreeBSD-Questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: how do i test sound settings?

Additionally, verify the analog audio out out your CD-ROM drive is wired to the CD-in of your sound card.

Last time I tried using several in NE2000 mode under FreeBSD, every card got the same MAC address. Anyway, some of those cards are jumperless, such as the NodeRunner2000.

Also, in case you want to set up root so that it will have bash as login shell but fail over to csh in case /usr isn't mountable, put these two lines at the end of /root/.cshrc: set DESIREDSHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash if (-f $DESIREDSHELL) exec $DESIREDSHELL --login This way, if you *can* use bash, you will, and if you can't, then you're still okay.

Thanks. most likely you'll need to type "rehash" after installing anything to get your shell to see the files that have appeared in it's PATH. you can also use pkg_info -L to see where and what files where installed. good luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 26 13:51:57 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from fw.wintelcom.net (ns1.wintelcom.net [209.1.153.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CB11C14F67 for ; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 13:51:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bright@wintelcom.net) Received: from localhost (bright@localhost) by fw.wintelcom.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA12934; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 14:14:03 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 14:14:03 -0700 (PDT) From: Alfred Perlstein To: TrouBle Cc: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Subject: Re: Answer needed???

So you will find the programs usually in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin. Once they are installed, they aren't automatically registered, I suppose. You can run them by going to the directory in which they are, and do ./{file name}. Easier is to do a 'rehash' (which doesn't work in sh and bash, so switch to csh).

HP-UX 10.20 supposedly does NFS3, but it sure won't do it with FreeBSD 3.2-R. The only way I could get them to be nice to each other was to drop back to NFS2, so for now it looks like it's ftp for moving big files. Fortunately this doesn't happen often.

I've made the changes to supfile as well as created the directory and have enough space on the disk. It is coming in now. However, all the files that are in /usr/src already are coming in once more (with additional info I suppose, hence the added v to the filenames). How do the two sets of the source I have relate? Can/should I throw out all in /usr/src. If not, how is /usr/src now updated? And where do I make kernel etc? In /usr/src or in /home/ncvs? Any pointers? TIA!

However, "those cards" that the question was asked about are AE2's, not NodeRunner 2000's which are entirely different Artifsoft NIC's. All the AE2 and AE3 models are jumpered; I've never gotten anything but excellent service from them. The NE2000 clone mode is very clean, unlike a lot of clone NIC's. Also, there is really no need to send someone you are responding to a copy of your post in addition to what you send to the list unless it's been indicated that they are not subscribed and therefore need a separate copy.

Yes you can use root to give toor a password. Toor has the same power as root by virtue of being UID 0. Root uses the sh shell. Toor uses bash. Hence the name "Bourne Again Super User" for the "Bourne Again Shell" aka bash.

What's the deal with Netscape Navigator? From: "Ronald F. Guilmette" Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 16:00:21 -0700 Message-ID: <3743.940978821@segfault.monkeys.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Yesterday and today, I have been switching over my main personal desktop from Linux to FreeBSD 3.3. Mostly, it has gone smoothly, but I have run into a few snags. The biggest one so far is the fact that Netscape Navigator doesn't seem to want to run, apparently because of some annoying libg++ version problem or something. So can anyone tell me what the solution is? Here's are the error messages I get when I try to fire it up: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/libexec/ld.so: warning: /usr/lib/libg++.so.4: minor version -1 older than expected 0, using it anyway ld.so failed: bad magic number in "/usr/lib/libg++.so.4" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- How do I fix this? (I would go and look at the FAQ, but that would require having a working browser. So I'm kinda caught in a chicken & egg situation.) Other changeover related questions: ----------------------------------- What exactly is Xwrapper and where is its man page? (I'm using it in my new .xserverrc file, but I don't even know for sure what it does. I just know that it seems to work.) What extra magic do I have to do in order to get the -C option for xterm to actually work? (I've already set /dev/console to mode 0622 and I've already made it be owned by me, so those things aren't the problem.) Is there a version of Adobe Acrobat that will work under FreeBSD 3.x? Other changover related comments: --------------------------------- Whoever built the fvwm-1.24r package messed up and left out the XPM support. I hope that in future releases, this package will get properly built with the XPM support included. It makes a big difference. In my personal opinion, it would be Good if the default generic kernel had EXT2FS support built in.

AHHHHHH. Anyone able to recommend a good mental ward? Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have rc5des -quiet in my rc.conf.

Does rc.conf get polled daily or something? I also have natd loaded in there. Where can I put this stuff to get loaded and loaded only once? When I first got natd running I could start my IRC client on my Win98 box and the FBSD box would proxy the identd requests from the irc server to my client machine. Something has happened and it is no longer working. I cannot xdcc send either. I have tried using the -s command as deemed in the man pages but that does not help. My default natd command is natd -interface xl0 (where xl0 is my public interface 3com). I have retraced all my steps, the firewall commands are in the kernel, and all the proper commands appear to be in rc.conf. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Where can I put this stuff to get loaded and loaded only once? add the line to the end of /etc/rc.local or make a script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc5.sh that starts it. you're lucky, rc.conf is sourced by a LOT of config files, meaning it's read in multiple times at boot and periodically while the system is up by various scripts. just follow the above directions and you should be ok. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 26 16:24:54 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from monkeys.com (i180.value.net [206.14.136.180]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7D29214CEC for ; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 16:24:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rfg@segfault.monkeys.com) Received: from segfault.monkeys.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by monkeys.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA03912; Tue, 26 Oct 1999 16:25:30 -0700 (PDT) To: Kenneth Wayne Culver Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Switching from Linux...

Apparently, the Netscape Navigator 4.61 that is being distributed with FreeBSD 3.3 is in the older a.out format, and it expects to be able to use the a.out format libg++.so.4.0 file that's located in the /usr/lib/compat/aout/ directory. And it _will_ go ahead and use that *if* you don't happen to have a little something called LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined in your environment (as I formerly did). Once I unset that, Netscap Navigator did start up. Now however it is displaying another whole different sort of problem. Now, when it starts up, it tries (apparently) to read some obscure configuration file somwhere, and whatever file it is reading leaves a _very_ bad taste in its mouth.

One machine is running 10baseT full-duplex and the server machine is running 100BaseTX full-duplex to the 10/100 full-duplex auto-sensing switch. I'll upgrade that 10baseT card soon... However, when I access the "site" served by apache on the 10bT machine the speed of the file xfers are a little slower than a 56k modem. Samba is running on the server box as well, and speeds there are great, both ways. So, I'm pretty sure it's not the network. I disabled HostnameLookups in httpd.conf and named in rc.conf and am still not having any luck. Does anyone know what might be wrong? I will gladly send any output needed. Thanks!

I've never fully understood what the sticky bit is supposed to do? I pulled out the Red-covered SysAdmin book (by Evi Nemeth, etc), and they seem to at first say that the sticky bit is an ancient relic and is ignored by 'modern kernels'. They then go on to say that if it's set on a directory that it prevents you from deleting or renaming files unless you're the owner of the directory, file, or the su. Trying to understand that... does that mean that pretty much the permissions of the 'group' and 'other' have no bearing or point if the sticky bit is set? (ie: if set to -rwxrwxrwx with the sticky bit on, does that mean still only the owner can erase? not even a group member?) Just another nuance to try to understand :) Thanks in advance, John >> vi gave me the message: Permission denied: Modifications not >> recoveralble if session fails. > >It's probably having trouble creating a recovery file, which is useful >if your system dies while you're messing around with a file.

I was looking through /usr/ports, but could not find a suitable program for my unit. I was only able to find info for control of the BackUPS Pro and SmartUPS devices. There is a serial interface on the back that states that it can be used for power management, but I'm not sure what I need to do to use it to trigger a shutdown in the event of a sustained power outage.

In the file /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/cy.c I had to add the line "#define USE_COMLOCK" in order to make my new kernel (FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE) work. Otherwise, it wouldn't compile - saying that COM_LOCK and COM_UNLOCK were undefine. Is this normal? The board works fine, but it took me a while to figure out. Also, what is this "PollMode" mentioned in cy.c? Should it be enabled for the Ye?

The UPS is connected to the computer by one of the special APC 'black' cables. After a bit of mucking about I was able to communicate with the UPS using tip, and was able to retreive state information. However, when I ran the ups program, it would complain that the port was locked by another process. It turns out that the serial port is opened by the following code... > upsfd = open (port, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NONBLOCK); > alarm (0); > > if (upsfd < 1) { > printf ("Unable to open (1) %s: %s\n", port, strerror(errno)); > exit (1); > } > > upsport = NULL; > > lockport (upsfd, port); "lockport" is as follows: > void lockport (int upsfd, char *port) > { > int res; > char *portname; > > /* keep gcc quiet */ > res = 0; > portname = NULL; > > #ifdef HAVE_UU_LOCK > if (upsport == NULL) { > for (i = strlen (port); i >= 0; i--) > if (port[i] == '/') { > portname = &port[i+1]; > break; > } > > /* save for later in case we need it at shutdown */ > upsport = strdup (portname); > } > > res = uu_lock(portname); > > if (res != 0) { > printf ("Can't lock %s: %s\n", port, uu_lockerr(res)); > exit (1); > } > #else /* no uu_lock */ > #ifdef HAVE_FLOCK > if (flock(upsfd, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB) != 0) { > printf ("%s is locked by another process\n", port); > exit (1); > } > #endif /* HAVE_FLOCK */ > #endif /* HAVE_UU_LOCK */ > } The call to flock(upsfd, LOCK_EX etc is failing and the process is reporting that it is locked by another process. I haven't been able to find out anything in the man pages for flock() and open() that helps me understand what's going on! Might there be some interaction between the flags used in the open() statement and the those in flock()? Can any of you sio and c gurus help me? Please?

I was looking for a PC emulator to run Win95/98 in X window and found bochs. The problem is that bochs site is extremely short and does not have any support. So, i am wondering if anybody got Win98 running under bochs (from ports-current) in FreeBSD 3.1? I cannot even boot from a bootable floopy made under win98 (but it is pretty much usual dos bootable disk, just io.sys, msdos.sys and command.com) It croacks with "prefetch: EIP > CS.limit". Any ideas? Also, are there any other emulators which do the same thing but do it better ?

FreeBSD isn't BSDI. Also, what exactly is util.pl ? Certainly, it's not part of the standard perl5 distribution. I'd go back to the person who gave you this vague advice and ask for more detail.

Is there some security issue of which I'm unaware? It's not about security, so don't let people scare you on that score. It's about what you want to happen, specifically how you want your environment to look after the promotion to super-user. You really do need to read the su(8) manpage to understand this. There are concepts in there that will only make complete sense after reading the sh(1) manpage, but that's probably not entirely necessary for your purposes. Later, Sheldon.

The existing ATAPI driver does not support this behavior. Feel free to submit patches. ;) Having said that, the new ATA driver in -current does support this.

I'm not sure exactly why these aren't working. Are you using the precompiled packages, or did you build them from the ports collection? You might try rebuilding them, now that you have the AWE driver installed. For MIDI playback, the awemidi port is your best bet, as it's specifically intended for the AWE. You'll want to get the awesfx port as well, to enable loading wave files to the card. Follow the links on my home page below under the section on setting up the AWE. -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 27 5:18:42 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from king.ukrnet.net (king.ukrnet.net [212.26.128.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9520A15087 for ; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 05:18:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gnut@fc.kiev.ua) Received: from fc.kiev.ua (uucp@localhost) by king.ukrnet.net (8.8.8-MVC-221297/8.8.8) with UUCP id PAA04633; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 15:15:44 +0300 Received: from blend.fc.kiev.ua (blend.fc.kiev.ua [192.168.5.17]) by indust.fc.kiev.ua (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id PAA34565; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 15:15:02 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from gnut@fc.kiev.ua) Received: from gnut.fc.kiev.ua (gnut.fc.kiev.ua [192.168.5.29]) by blend.fc.kiev.ua (8.9.3/8.9.2) with ESMTP id PAA42386; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 15:13:46 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from gnut@fc.kiev.ua) Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 15:16:30 +0300 From: "Oles' Hnatkevych" X-Mailer: The Bat!

As an aside, is there any good BSD resource where I could find more docs along the lines of the Linux HOWTO collection ? -- /* Wayne Pascoe - MoneyWorld */ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 27 5:50:53 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from malkav.snowmoon.com (machine-126-237.cdcsd.k12.ny.us [208.20.126.237]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id DF3A114CF6 for ; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 05:50:43 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jaime@malkav.snowmoon.com) Received: (qmail 82433 invoked from network); 27 Oct 1999 12:50:41 -0000 Received: from localhost (HELO localhost.snowmoon.com) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 27 Oct 1999 12:50:41 -0000 Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 08:50:41 -0400 (EDT) From: Jaime Kikpole To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Password changing (NetATalk, PAM, shadow passwords) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been trying to set up a NetATalk server which needs to allow users to change their passwords. Since they shouldn't have telnet access to the server, I was hoping to make this work over the NetATalk system itself. My research has uncovered two ways to do this, either of which would work on Linux (I think) but I can't figure out how to get it to work with my much prefered OS (FreeBSD). Specifically, NetATalk's afpd program will let you change your password via shadow passwords or PAM. Does PAM in FreeBSD (3.3 is what I have installed on the server now) support session or password calls? The port of NetATalk had a patch to the etc/afpd/Makefile which implied that it didn't. The shadow password support in afpd causes it to include shadow.h. A quick "locate shadow.h" doesn't turn up this file. Can anyone help me figure out if its in FreeBSD and where I could find it or include it from? Alternately, if anyone knows a better way (or *any* way) to allow the NetATalk package to change passwords for users, please let me know. It would mean a great deal to me, as I've already dumped 3 weeks into getting this hardware to work with FreeBSD and RAID in order to avoid switching to Linux (which I know a lot less about).

FWIW, my first UNIX installation (about 9 years ago) took a week. The release was Interactive UNIX/386 version 2.2, a port of System V.3.2. I only had the manufacturer's documentation to help me, and it was painful. I wasn't exactly an inexperienced newbie at the time, but somehow I wasn't surprised. Times have changed; CKimmerl was obviously out for instant gratification, and when he didn't get it, it was obviously our fault. But maybe it *is* our fault to a certain extent. Just like I blame Microsoft for building a crappy "operating system" which crashes all the time and drags a Pentium III/450 down to the performance levels FreeBSD gets out of a 486/66, we should look at the ease of installation we offer. Sure, it's much better than 10 years ago, but Microsoft is also better than it was 10 years ago. None of this alters the fact that if you want help with any problems, you need to give as much information about the problems as possible. In a commercial environment, the support people will coax you through it, at $50 an hour or more. In the free software environment, I was going to say you have the choice: supply the information or get ignored. But CKimmerl has shown a third way: flame and get attention. But not, as far as I can see, the answer to his still undescribed problems.

On server (known locally as "time"): ntp.conf : server ntp.cs.strath.ac.uk server 127.127.1.0 fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 driftfile /etc/ntp.drift and xntpd is started at boot time with arguments -p /var/run/xntpd.pid -c /etc/ntp.conf ntp.cs.strath.ac.uk is an external time server available publically; I wrote and asked if I could use it for authentification and they kindly agreed. If you have no external link, or don't wish to use such a beast, then the second line apparently acts as "use yourself" ie "I am definitive myself". Don't ask me why this works 'cos I found it on a web page to do with xntpd somewhere a long time ago! The rest of the file is smoke and mirrors (see previous). But it works. (FWIW before I ran xntpd up I ran "ntpdate ntp.cs.strath.ac.uk" as a one off time sync to bring it dead level immediately.) Clients : load xntpd with the same arguments as above. ntp.conf file looks like server time driftfile /etc/ntp.drift (Again, before starting up xntpd I did a one off "ntpdate time" to totally sync the clocks.)

Yes, I'm a newbie, and I just switched to FBSD after a year with various Linux distros. I would call myself a low intermediate user in Linux, and an advancing beginner in FBSD. But a few things come to mind that could make installs easier for newbies. First, for some reason, the only distro that EVER got my screen resolution/Xserver settings right was TurboLinux. No one else. The rest all gave me 640x320. So, I ended up editing every XF86Config by hand, or just copying a reliable backup over the one that was generated. I also like the way linux handles laptop issues, such as PCMCIA/APM. As i understand it, improvements are in the works. However, I also agree (now) with Wes Peters. We don't want to make a better Linux... But, I also understand the frustration of these new users. I'm still experiencing rough areas. And i haven't really even started getting productive with my FBSD workstation. I just surf the web and learn the OS for now, before I take a chance with too much data ;-) I little smoother install, maybe. I'm not looking for lots of autoconfig files, but maybe some shell scripts that can help out with some basic stuff. But so far, I'm learning on my own, little by little. -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 27 6:39:10 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from newt.wiznet.ca (newt.wiznet.ca [216.13.71.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B0383153EF for ; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 06:39:04 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from scopp@wiznet.ca) Received: from newt.wiznet.ca (newt.wiznet.ca [216.13.71.13] (may be forged)) by newt.wiznet.ca (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id JAA24710 for ; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 09:38:59 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from scopp@wiznet.ca) Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 09:38:59 -0400 (EDT) From: Shaun To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Question about NATD and proxy Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I have a question about natd and its transprent proxy feature.

After changing the symlinks to the correct fonts, the program started but crashed after a few key presses in the text window. The same thing at a second try. I dl'd the sources as well, but seeing all the warnings in the README and INSTALL that compiling would be far from easy and that this should be done only by people interested in contributing to maxwell, I decided to delete everything, since I installed just out of curiosity...

See chmod(1) for details about *modifying file modes. This says that a file can be renamed by a user with write permission. Then a few sentances later in the example it says something opposite????? Which is it? If a dir is set sticky can a user with write permissions to that directory rename a file? Doesn't make sence if they can...

My first Unix install would have been back in '86 on a Sun 160C with SunOS 3.5. You had to pre-partition the disk (/ and swap), dd the OS from tape into the swap area and boot from it. At the time I was a DOS "power user" and had taken 1 2 day class in unix (using cat, ls and vi, etc). And you know, I didn't think that it was too hard. I messed up and only used one disk. But figured out how to add the second disk as user space and move stuff around. > But maybe it *is* our fault to a certain extent.

I've got an old Dec PC with a 66Mhz with a funny SCSI setup. We had NT on it for a test network. When I updated the BIOS for Y2K, NT went south requiring a reinstall. NT install diskettes can't see the disk. What a bunch of . I'm about to ask my boss to buy me a brand new PC just so NT can "run". I also have an identical one that 3.2 and 3.3 went on effortlessly. -- _ <_) o ______ /|__ | __\___....---~ /| ~~\| | ____/_|_ _|> |~~/~~~---....__/ / |/~~~ | |_/ --===OOOOOO= | YeeeeeeHaaaaaaaa!

The problem was related to an incorrect IO setting. I booted DOS and ran two tools downloaded from 3COM, which gave conflicting results (none of which worked) Autolink.exe gave : IRQ 10 - I/O 0x300 <== SAME AS MINE 3c5x9cfg.exe : IRQ 10 - I/O 0x220 (with PnP setting) So I booted with boot -c and set the values to both. The boot process reported no device at 0x220. Fine. Using the 3c5x9cfg.exe tool, I disabled PnP and used the auto-config option. This set the values to :- IRQ : 10 - I/0 0x210 Success. A posting from a NetBSD archive provided a clue :- http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive/tech/9807/msg00009.html Allow me to paste an extract which I think will be useful. (Not sure how accurate, but it got me thinking.) One idea: Could it be that the IRQ is configured wrongly on A, but correctly on B? Scenario: from A: ping B - A sends out ARP, B responds (activity on both ports at the hub), but A misses the responses because of the wrong IRQ - After some seconds, ARP times out and A gives "Host is down" errors during the negative ARP caching timeout. from B: ping A - from above, B still knows A's MAC address (that was an ARP packet, and that gets entered into the ARP cache also for ARP requests) - So B sends out ICMPs right ahead (-> activity from B to A at the hub) - A misses the packets, again, so doesn't send anything back. If you wait a bit longer between the A->B test and the B->A test, B will lose the ARP cache entry, try to resolve A's MAC address (a few packets from B->A at the hub, no responses) and after the timeout also generate "Host is down" (and not send out packets any more till the negative ARP cache entry expires).

Yes. The time zone files are in /usr/share/zoneinfo. For each time zone, they have picked a single city, which is not always intuitive. In your case, it's New York. To set up the time zone, do: # cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

[clip] Of course, I had to change the symlinks to the correct fonts as well, but after that the program is up and I'm very pleased with it. I was looking for a very small WYSIWYG word processor and this hit the spot at 1.3M. I didn't compile it however, I downloaded the precompiled linux binary and ran linux emulation. They warn, as Karel mentioned, that compiling could be a nightmare. I also had to install ispell for the spell checking. The only problem I've had is when I save out to RTF the prog freezes.

To put it slightly more strongly: as far as I'm concerned ext2 is not a serious fs if you really care about handling power failures and other such fun things. In clusters as small as 64 machines I've measured a 5% probability that after a power failure one of the 64 ext2 file systems will have a trashed root file system. With freebsd, over a four-year span, running through lots of power outages, I didn't lose an FFS file system even *once* (except for the disk that burned up, but not even FFS can fix that one). ext2 needs a lot of help. Evidently it will be getting it soon, though. ron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 27 9:32: 2 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from picnic.mat.net (picnic.mat.net [206.246.122.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A582D15401; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 09:31:56 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from chuckr@picnic.mat.net) Received: from localhost (chuckr@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by picnic.mat.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA15358; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 12:30:52 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from chuckr@picnic.mat.net) Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 12:30:52 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey To: Ben Rosengart Cc: Chuck Youse , Ilia Chipitsine , questions@FreeBSD.ORG, hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: why FFS is THAT slower than EXT2 ?

Author: zeus@tetron03.tetronsoftware.com Date: 10/25/99 4:44 PM Adam, If I could ask a couple of questions first, about your performance issues: 1. What sort of hub/switch are you using? 2. What client are you using to perform the ftp? (Win98, NT, Linux...) 3. Have you tried setting a direct connection (full duplex) between the client and freebsd server using a cross over cable? On occasion, I have seen the Intel driver incorrectly negotiate the wrong duplex mode with certain hubs (Yes, I said hubs, not switches.*grin*) . I was only able to track down the problem when creating a direct connection with a cross over cable. Often, the type of performance you are seeing also goes hand in hand with corrupted files after the transfer.

Likewise, about 11 years back on AIX 1.1, via floppy install. Only a 3 foot stack of IBM manuals to consult, but I was bound and determined to get that silly thing up as a 300 port email server. Then 386BSD came around, and we thought we was up wid da big boyz. And the rest is history..... I guess new folks tend to get frustrated when things don't go as anticipated, and the great and magick Login: meets the eye. That's OK. *nix is a complex system and requires some dedication. There may not be a perfect solution, but, for the sake of developmental discussion, what about the possibility of a training-wheels apprentice snapshot version of FBSD, say that runs out of a windoz shell from an exe file, or a minimal default bin/manpages/doc version that installs over a set of several floppies assuming that only a printer and a tty monitor is present on an IDE drive (typical starting box). PicoBSD almost fills that bill, but I am thinking of a system a little more fleshed out, with docs for training. Minix can do that, from a 50M binary file that plops into a dos file system out of a zip file. Although that is probably not the best method of presenting the system, it might allow newbies to get their feet wet a little, and not have to worry so much. A no-brainer CD might be set up that could be booted from dos or directly, with temps on a tmp file or tree on dos (crude, but possible). That way, some hands-on training could be gotten before committing to the almighty newfs. IMHO, anyone starting at the beginning, ought to expect to have several crashes before the machine is actually up and running. It makes you think a little about what you are doing. Once you go through the procedure several times, it goes like clockwork. That is part of the normal learning curve of *nix, unless you are an apprentice to a master that walks you through the thing. IMHO, anyone seriously considering running *nix ought to have hardware dedicated to that purpose, and not confuse his windoz box, with *nix. Machines are cheap enough these days, at garage sales, fleamarkets, recycle shops, surplus houses, etc., that a newbie needs a separate training machine that he can afford to crash and play with. That is how you learn. It is great fun to grapple up a 5 buck ``it won't run windoz anymore'' 486 box with 16M ram and an ide drive of several hundred megs, and make it play fine training *nix, or test out the latest kernel or whatever. A little knowledge on such castoffs, can make for a fine web server for lowend use, or a fine singleuser workstation. It is also good training. Once you get the hang of it, then nuke the windoz and install on the biggie machine, and pass the training wheels box on to someone else. To all the newbies, hang in there..... that is part of the trial by fire of this thing *nix. You will be better off for it in the end. It may take a little time, ``the old fashioned way'' over the course of a few weeks or months, but, you can do it. If I was able to do it, and also 99.9% of the others here, so can you.....

I have lost cylinder groups in panics on systems with soft-updates. (I was using a very buggy kernel module, so things were *hosed*).

A simple easy-tryout version of FBSD would be nice. Frankly, just playing with Linux is a good start. I remember asking my friend about his installation experience, and he said 'yeah, it only took about 15 minutes.' After i was very frustrated from my attempts, he said, 'i forgot to tell you, that was after 7 tries!' So, there is definitely a learning curve. Too bad MS has made things so brainless, that no one has the patience to learn how to handle some true POWER and flexibility.

Editing /etc/group doesn't scare me, but I was poking around, and under "man adduser", there is a reference to 'addgroup', 'rmgroup', and 'group', which do not appear to be on my system. A search of the hypertext man pages shows the command "addgroup" disappearing between v.2.2.5 and 2.2.6, yet nothing seems to be mentioned in the release notes for those versions. I'm assuming there is now A Better Way of doing this? Also, if you want to set up a user, but make it so that it can't be logged into, which is more appropriate to use? /sbin/nologin or /nonexistent for the default shell?

It is not as nice as windows. Sorry, but hey, I'd rather you put your time into the OS then the install anyway. Worst part was trying to figure out which netcard driver to keep when my specific 3com was not listed and the xfree stuff. I dont know if I got the right net driver yet either. We'll see shortly. After that the XFree install section needs some work. It is hard to figure out if you need the server or some other combination. In the end I just installed everything figureing that I can remove it later if I have too. It was confusing if the version numbers are shown. At least to a windoze user because versions never really make sence to them. Perhaps an option to just install the minimum needed to get a multi-user login without the net support or xfree would be best. This would put all the docs on with an additional readme for istalling the other main parts to the system: most ports,net stuff and xfree. Then us newbies can play with a base system before going on to the next step: connection to the net or xfree cfg. As a newbie I think thats what I ended up with on my machine... hehehe and thats what I was going for. Next stop, XFree cfging!

I think the sarcasm should be held off until you understand the underlying system which you obviously do not. How much ram is in each box? If the working set fits entirely into RAM linux will perform faster than FreeBSD because FreeBSD uses a an aggressive write-behind mechanism whereas linux will wait until it's just about out of buffers before forcing data to disk. Work is in progress to make this an adaptive algorithm. You should note that for the most case when linux runs out of memory the 'scrambling' it does to recover kills performance terribly. You should also note that Linux is completely async, meaning your files just are not consistant. Finally, either a question belongs on questions, -or- hackers not both, please don't cross post. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 27 11:55:16 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mobil.surnet.ru (mobil.surnet.ru [195.54.2.7]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3CF7014CBF; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 11:55:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ilia@cgilh.chel.su) Received: (from uucgilh@localhost) by mobil.surnet.ru (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with UUCP id AAA08646; Thu, 28 Oct 1999 00:50:27 +0600 (ESS) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by cgilh.chel.su (8.8.7/8.8.7) with UUCP id AAA01129; Thu, 28 Oct 1999 00:01:53 +0600 Received: from localhost (ilia@localhost) by localhost.cgu.chel.su (8.9.3/8.9.2) with ESMTP id AAA01079; Thu, 28 Oct 1999 00:01:12 +0600 (ESS) (envelope-from ilia@cgilh.chel.su) X-Authentication-Warning: localhost.cgu.chel.su: ilia owned process doing -bs Date: Thu, 28 Oct 1999 00:01:10 +0600 (ESS) From: Ilia Chipitsine X-Sender: ilia@localhost.cgu.chel.su To: Soren Schmidt Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG, hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: why FFS is THAT slower than EXT2 ?

This is something we already know, and it's not the sort of test that you should ever headline as "why is FFS so much slower"? Creation of massive directory tree hierarchies under FFS is more expensive because of the way that FFS tries to keep directories spread out, in order to later have a better chance of putting files close to their parent directories. When you create a massive and mostly empty tree like the ports tree, you pay for this optimisation. The justification for this behaviour is that you only create the tree once, but you may use it for years afterwards. Thus, claiming that "FFS is slower" is both short-sighted and incorrect. If you're going to bother to publicise the results of your tests, you could try actually conducting some meaningful tests first. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 27 12:24:57 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from imo-d02.mx.aol.com (imo-d02.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5CDE514D9A for ; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 12:24:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ATeslik@aol.com) Received: from ATeslik@aol.com by imo-d02.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v23.6.) id nHBK0e2bex (4326) for ; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 15:24:41 -0400 (EDT) From: ATeslik@aol.com Message-ID: <0.42556ca7.2548ab79@aol.com> Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 15:24:41 EDT Subject: No sound with flash plugin To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 26 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello List, I hate writing.

I believe ext2fs has gotten quite a bit more reliable in the last year though. Also it is no longer as simple as it was originally. It turns out there's a reason for UFS/FFS's complexity. The linux crowd has similar problems with their 'simpler' swap and VM subsystems. But before people start smirking keep in mind that linux is quite a bit farther ahead of us in the SMP department. When Kirk gets his softupdates/filesystem-checkmarking code working we are going to be a step up from anything linux could hope to accomplish in the filesystem arena because we will then be able to reliably dump, checkmark, AND sanity-check the filesystem on a live (and busy) system. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 27 12:40:25 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from malkav.snowmoon.com (machine-126-237.cdcsd.k12.ny.us [208.20.126.237]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 30B6914D9A for ; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 12:40:22 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jaime@malkav.snowmoon.com) Received: (qmail 83271 invoked from network); 27 Oct 1999 19:40:20 -0000 Received: from localhost (HELO localhost.snowmoon.com) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 27 Oct 1999 19:40:20 -0000 Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 15:40:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Jaime Kikpole To: "Jonathan E.

Its not as spiffy looking as IMP, but is has more features and runs on far more web browsers. (IMP requires JavaScript and frames.) This can play a factor with some people. At my job we have a lot of older computers running Netscape 3.0.4 because they can't handle anything higher. But IMP (as of 2.0.0) can crash them with the JavaScript on its login screen. So we found TWIG and have liked it, over all. Also, I just recently found a mention of OpenDesk (www.opendesk.com?) on Slashdot.org. I didn't have a chance to try it out, but it looked really nice.

Is this a good approach? I'm using a SoundBlaster 16. You probably already did this, but just in case.... Did you "cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV snd0" or something similar?

I've measured ext2fs vs. FFS+softupdates many times (both with optimal hdparam settings and flags), and I've found the opposite (both with UDMA and with fast-SCSI2 disks). Benchmark programs (bonnie, iozone) show FFS is faster in almost all areas. Also creating directories with 1000s of emtpy files and deleting these is faster. The only exception might be untarring large tarballs. Linux makes more aggressive use of the filesystem buffer; it even swaps out quite active processes to be able to cache large amounts. The drawback is that the system as a whole tends to become quite sluggish, while BSD has a better balance between keeping active processes and filesystem-cache. -- Peter Mutsaers | Abcoude (Utrecht), | Trust me, I know peter@mutsaers.com | the Netherlands | what I'm doing.

Hi Sheldon,
just to remind you I'm using FBSD 2.2.6, the = revision=20 of
/usr/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk I have is: 1.41.2.6 (compiled on = 97/7/31),=20 the
versions of all the other makefiles in this directory is listed = in=20 the
attached file. But I'm not sure if you can view it.
So is this the reason I can't make my own sendmail.cf, cos my mk = too=20 old?
Thanks,
Ghulam

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We're looking for a FreeBSD equivalent to the Linux chvt(1) command, i.e., something that can changes the virtual terminal from a shell. Our new 3.3R/PAO Toshiba uses the Trident Cyber9525DVD video chip. APM suspend/resume works well when the current virtual terminal is *not* displaying the running X server. However, the system (or just keyboard?) hangs (can't say for certain, since the display doesn't come back) after power is restored. Until we can find the "correct" configuration (kernel, XF86Config) to make this work reliably, a simple shell script that sync(8)s filesystems, "chvt" to ttyv0 if the X server is running, then suspends the system with "apm(8)". The apmd(8) would restore the virtual terminal following the resume event (if the X server is running).

I'm not sure I've ever really understood this position. In cases where data integrity is vital to retain, there is no excuse for not using machines with multiple power supplies, each fed from independent, clean power sources, with multiple fans, running a stable, tested OS release. Of course, double-point failures _do_ occur. But really, not very often. Paranoia with FS writes can seem extreme considering that the network which attaches that machine to the outside world is probably not engineered to the same degree of fault protection. Just my $0.02. I'm not saying that FFS should throw caution to the wind (especially not in the default configuration) but to argue that async writes are only ever used by stupid people is a little unfair :) Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 27 14: 4: 7 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from nisser.com (c1870039.telekabel.chello.nl [212.187.0.39]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1348A14DFC for ; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 14:04:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from roelof@nisser.com) Received: from nisser.com (roelof [10.0.0.2]) by nisser.com (8.9.3/8.9.2) with ESMTP id XAA54365 for ; Wed, 27 Oct 1999 23:08:12 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from roelof@nisser.com) Message-ID: <381768CD.AA6C03EF@nisser.com> Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 23:04:13 +0200 From: Roelof Osinga Organization: eboa - engineering buro Office Automation X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Starting the Samba Service References: <85256816.001EB07E.00@mail.whtz.com> <3815456A.54313A86@lvdi.net> <000601bf1f6b$8dc4a620$0607b084@fernunihagen.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Fritz Heinrichmeyer wrote: > > Install samba from the ports collection or from a precompiled package. > Then you will find /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh.example.

One might expect it possible that a device doing programmed I/O might be able to beat out a DMA scheme (for raw throughput) but usually at a cost of being unfair to other processes. A Linux box often "feels" rather jerky to me. Sometimes the numbers it _appears_ to handle might seem very impressive (as do yours) but the story comes out once you put a little processing and I/O load on the system.

This results in cheaper hardware, but it makes for a lousy solution, because: (1) it moves some of the processing load from the modem to your machine's CPU (2) it makes it hard to use the specific modem in OSes that do not know what the hell a .VXD file is all about.

When you get the CDROMs print the various README's that are related to the installation, and can be found in the disks. After that, give it a shot, by trying to set up basic things in FreeBSD, such as a basic-binaries-only installation. If that seems to finish ok, either add more packages from the CDROMs, or start reading in the FreeBSD-Handbook and FAQ about the ports collection and use that for your installations instead. Last, but certainly not least, you can subscribe to this list and/or any other mailing lists that seem to be of some interest to you. You can find information about the mailing lists of FreeBSD at the pages too. Since you are a beginner in FreeBSD, this list (freebsd-questions) and the freebsd-newbies one are the ones where you will find a valuable resource of information. Subscribed to these lists are some of the very people who develop FreeBSD, so sending questions here usually means that you're actually asking the developers themselves.

A simple "echo" command would be enough, although you would not be able to see the OK responces of your modem.

The only difference that I see Xwrapper having from my XF86_SVGA server executable is that the former is setuid-root.

Interesting question. I don't know if Adobe gives a FreeBSD-version on their site. Have you tried searching over there?

It makes a big difference. Just by looking at my /usr/ports/ tree (updated on October 5, AFAIR) I noticed that x11-wm/fvwm/Makefile includes: LIB_DEPENDS= Xpm.4:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/xpm It seems that the Xpm library is needed to build fvwm to my ports tree. Try updating your ports and see if anything changes for the better. > In my personal opinion, it would be Good if the default generic kernel had > EXT2FS support built in. Not really. Since installing FreeBSD on a "clean" machine would leave you with EXT2FS support in a machine that knows nothing about Linux. Since building a custom kernel is one of the first things that really ought to be done on a newly installed machine, you can include EXT2FS support there, and leave GENERIC without EXT2FS-support. On the other hand, being able to mount Linux partitions where one has downloaded the initial FreeBSD installation stuff seems cute. It would probably have helped me in my transition from Linux to FreeBSD, about a couple o' months ago. -- Giorgos Keramidas, "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."

There is, I believe, a native a.out version of the plugin for FreeBSD now in the ports tree. Might want to give that a try w/ a native Netscape.

I've never used it myself, but I think that you might want to look into ccd and/or vinum. Also, if you can afford hardware based RAID systems, they're really great. I was testing one out earlier today, in fact. Just to be certain that it worked correctly, I removed drive 3 (of 4 drives) while the system was booted and I was logged on. The machine didn't even crash. It just kept running, though it did make a noise to indicate that a drive went bad. Really cheap mirroring-only RAID system tend to cost about $1200-$1400 for a two disk system. If you don't want to buy one, look at ccd or vinum. One of those might provide real-time mirroring.

It's a 12/24 GB tape, so I'm thinking I put "dump -0u -B 12582912 -b 64 /dev/nrsa0 /" but that won't write to 24 GB which the tape drive is capable of with compression. Is there any way to enable that? 5) Finally, last night i was trying out flexbackup (the perl front end for dump/cpio/etc) and the tape drive froze (something about "This tape doesn't have an index at /usr/bin/flexbackup line 2385".) and sat there for over an hour not doing anything. So I killed the process and tried to kill the "mt -f /dev/nrsa0 erase" but it wouldn't, and any attempts to read/write/mount etc came back with a device busy. I eventually just restarted the box, but is there any way to stop this? Thanks for all your help.

The graphical interface is actually controlled by the X Windowing System (a.k.a. X11) and not FreeBSD. FreeBSD only controls the text console. Check for help on www.xfree86.org about your card. You can configure it in /stand/sysinstall by going to "Configure" and then using one of the X Window configuration programs (like xf86config). If all else fails, use the basic "SVGA" configuration.

We are using NIS and AMD. The previous sys admin incorporated an ${ARCH} variable into the sysconfig file that became a system or global variable. The statement is: ARCH=`uname -s`/`uname -r`/`uname -m` export ARCH The ${ARCH} variable is used by AMD but when I type: echo $ARCH on the command prompt I get: ARCH: Undefined variable. My questions are, what are the different environments in FreeBSD, what runs in them and how does one gain access to them? How does one define a global variable? Also, I put the ARCH statement in the rc.conf file and referenced it through AMD by: bin type:=nfs;rhost:=g;rfs:=/usr/people/share/${ARCH}/${key} this is the same statement used in the 2.1.0 system but the system does not expand what is between `and`. The 3.2 system only sees: uname -s/uname -r/uname -m Does anyone have any insight, understands this or understands me?

The basic problem is that the directory layout policy that FFS uses is very non-optimal in this case.

Occasionally, when using Netscape (it's only happened twice, both times while using Netscape ... not a definite causal relationship, but its a contender) the system will just start thrashing like mad, and X will be very unresponsive to keyboard input. After a few minutes of thrashing, I manage to hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and kill X, but the system is still too unresponsive to allow shell commands to execute. Eventually, the disk stops thrashing, and the system only responds to console input and pings. I have to hit the switch. After I exit X, I see these messages: sc0: switch_scr(): sending relsig again sc0: switch_scr(): force reset WAIT_REL, act as if VT_FALSE was seen This is just probably a result of me hitting Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get a console and X being too slow to respond. I stupidly made my swap partition only 36MB and later added 160M on /dev/vn0c. Swap on vnodes is supported, right? Any hints in resolving this problem, or hints on how to properly diagnose it before I have to reboot, would be appreciated. I have a Windows 98 box which has a greater uptime, and it makes me sad :-( Thanks, Steve ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

FreeBSD has a new "Power Pack" or some thing. It comes with a book, the OS, and a bunch of third party software for the price of Windows.

Murrell Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a problem with a change of IP address. My freebsd machine required a change of IP address to a different class C network. I changed the entry in rc.local for the router and host. I rebooted and everything seemed OK. However I use samba and samba keeps thinking I have the previous IP. I determined this using smbclient. I then used nslookup and discovered the DNS has my hostname registered with the old IP. I will address this problem tomorrow. I have 2 questions: 1. Am I doing this change of IP correctly? 2. I assume Samba uses DNS for determining IP address. Is it possible to circumvent this to tell samba what IP address to use in communication with clients?

Anyway before I got the help, I made tried playing around with the existing virtual usertable. however I made a mistake with one of the users entry. However when I try and change the file now using the makemap command "makemap dbm /etc/virtusertable < vtable" I get the message " file changed after change after open" and basically the virtusertable isn't updated. Secondly how to do I change the number of SCSI drives that get regonised? I''m running 3.2 Release on a system that has 8 SCSI drives 1 x 9.1GB U/W, 1 x 4.3GB Ultra on one controller, 4 x 300Mb and 1 x 500Mb on the second).

FWIW, I'm using a FreeBSD system right now for email (pine and TWIG), ssh, web browsing, file management, MP3 playing, AppleTalk file serving, web serving, and maybe a few other things that I've forgotten. I've got another system (a mere 486sx!) that's active as a server for a handful of friends and has ssh, telnet, ftp, web serving, email (via pine and the webmail system TWIG), an IRC client, and a BBS (via apache, mod_perl, and WWWThreads). To my knowledge, the Zip drive won't work in FreeBSD unless its SCSI (or, maybe, IDE).

That is exactly how I came to FreeBSD about a month or so ago. X11 managed to bring my kernel to it's knees. Linux paniced and managed to fsck everything on the disk to the never-never land when it came back up. With FreeBSD now... I have had a few power-failures bring the machine down, if that counts for a "crash", and nothing happened to my files.

I get a "Makedev returned non-zero status" and the installer complains about having some errors and drops me back to the main menu. The error messages on the second terminal screen are "chown not found" and "abort trap". During the step when bin is extracted, I get several messages on the second terminal something like this (maybe not verbatim): stand/cpio: No such file or directory stand/cpio: Invalid header:Bad checksum stand/cpio: Ignoring XXXXX bytes of junk So it looks to my inexperienced eye that some of the files in the bin directory on the DOS partition are corrupt. Here are some things I've tried to fix the problem (to no avail): 1. Delete the C:\freebsd\bin DOS directory and FTP over everything in /bin again. I've done this two or three times now (once was deleting the entire C:\freebsd directory and copying everything over again). 2. Make absolutely sure that the files were FTP'd in binary mode. I even tried FTPing with different clients. I'm pretty sure everything was binary mode. 3. Try using the entire disk for FBSD. I did have RedHat 6 on part of the disk at first, but I went ahead and deleted it out to use the entire disk for FBSD. 4. Try changing some BIOS settings like shadowing. 5. Try installing only the minimal system. 6. Try installing /bin as a package after the botched up installation. Nothing has worked for me. Like I said, I originally thought that the problem was due to corrupt bin.xx files, but after copying everything over again and again, I'm not so sure about it. Here's my system setup: AMD K6-2 400, Primary IDE master is 13 GB (FAT32 - has Win98 and the C:\freebsd directory), Primary IDE slave is 1 GB (this is where I'm trying to install FBSD), Secondary IDE master is 450 MB (FAT16 - used for Win/DOS file backups), Secondary IDE slave is CD-ROM drive. Could the problem be due to trying to use a FAT32 partition or trying to copy from the master to the slave drive? I wouldn't think so, since some of the files are extracted just fine. Basically, I'm completely stumped and it's starting to drive me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.

First check the webpages over a http://www.gnome.org about installation, and the order you need to compile the sources in. I would strongly suggest you try to use the ports to build this, as it builds all of the dependencies for you. You can either fetch the files manually and put them in /usr/ports/distfiles, or use a http/ftp proxy to have the ports fetch the required files for you (man fetch for info on how to do this). You probably need an upgraded ports collection to get the latest and greatest from gnome.

The newer versions of Cyrus, ie : 1.6.x + require the SASL lib. The version of Cyrus in the ports is 1.5.x and doesn't require the SASL lib. I'd asked a couple of times about updating the port to 1.6.x, realizing that it would probably be a real pain, but 1.6.x has features that would be beneficial ( like mail filtering, with another add on program ). So far someone said they were going to look at it, but nothing ever came of that.

A whole bunch of patches etc. got committed around then to bring the ports collection GNOME up to "October GNOME (1.0.53)", which is certainly the most stable version to date. The handbook provides all the necessary information about maintaining an up to date ports tree via cvsup and other methods. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.

I've no idea, I'm afraid, since my main port upgrading machine is a weekly-tracked 3.3-STABLE, and the other testbox runs various flavors of -CURRENT. As mentioned at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/, the up-to-date ports tree is only officially supported on -STABLE and -CURRENT, so in the event of a failure, you're likely to see a standard "upgrade to the latest -STABLE" response. However, a 3.2-{RELEASE,STABLE} to 3.3-STABLE upgrade should be relatively painless. "make world" should run without any problems, and the excellent mergemaster program (in the ports tree) will help out with any changes in /etc Good luck :) -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.

A CVSup update shouldn't take more than 10 minutes or so over 28.8 (last i remeber). Of you mean resuming a checkout, CVSup seems to pick up where it left off mighty quick.

How often would you recommend > > doing the make installworld? > > Why would you _only_ buildworld? There are a number of reasons. One good one is to put buildworld in a cron job so that it runs at a time that you're not trying to use the machine. You really don't want any system pieces to be installed without watching over them, so you leave the installworld to be done by hand. You also get the advantage that you never try to install a system that won't compile. Another reason is that you can do the buildworld in multi-user mode and still be able to drop to single-user mode for the install. Not everyone worries about this, but for those who do, it's very convenient. If you have bandwidth and unused CPU to burn, you can afford to do this a lot more often than is worth rebooting your system for the upgrade. That point aside, Brett Taylor's advice about how often to install the upgrades is right on the money; it's subjective. If you have a specific feature or bug fix you want to get, you may be able to recompile and reinstall just that one part of the system, but that requires a bit of knowledge of the dependencies within the system. A lot of us watch the commits to see whether something significant has been changed, and make a technical judgement on when enough has changed to be worth changing the system (and risking problems, and necessarily rebooting). Those who aren't particularly technical may not have any good reason to upgrade even as often as every release. Be well.

My daily cvsup of src-all and ports takes about 6 minutes. If I run it again, immediately, so it doesn't actually update anything, it takes 5. This is over a 33.6 modem, usually connectinga t a bit less. Updating the CVS repository from a -RELEASE cd's copy tends to take less than an hour.

It is much easier to recover from a broken kernel than a broken world. New kernels work with old worlds, but the reverse isn't always true. At some point, this order will be required, since there are a bunch of changes in -CURRENT that require it, so now is a good time to start gettng used to it. When you try and config the kernel, you might get an error saying that you haven't got a new enough config. If you do see this, do the following: # cp /usr/sbin/config /usr/sbin/config.old # cd /usr/src/user.sbin/config # make cleandir # make && make install and try again. Doing things this way isn't any harder, and is much safer. It might take a bit longer since you should do a reboot after make installworld, but I think a machine that doesn't break is worth it.

In FreeBSD, there is always /usr/ports that can help you install a very large collection of programs with a simple "make install" command. If, however, you have some Linux program that is not included in the ports, and you want to run it, the Linux emulation can be of some help; (well, the word "emulation" is not quite right here, but it gives you the general idea). -- Giorgos Keramidas, "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."

You'd need to contact FreeBSD for drivers for the components since we don't support that operating system. My other suggestion would be to consider Microsoft's Small Business Server; it is an easy to use operating system with comprehensive training.

The easiest thing to do is probably to move all of /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 onto your new drive. Then create symlinks in /usr to point to them. # cd /usr # mv local /usr2 # ln -s /usr2/local local and the same for /usr/X11R6. The mv will run for a while. You might consider taking a backup before you do this. You probably don't want to be running X or a shell that you've installed in /usr/local/bin while you're moving them (ie. go to single user first). -- Kevin Street street@iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 28 17: 8:14 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from athserv.otenet.gr (athserv.otenet.gr [195.170.0.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CE09714C40 for ; Thu, 28 Oct 1999 17:08:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr) Received: from hades.hell.gr (patr530-a100.otenet.gr [195.167.115.100]) by athserv.otenet.gr (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id DAA14193 for ; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 03:08:11 +0300 (EET DST) Received: (qmail 13436 invoked by uid 1001); 29 Oct 1999 00:10:22 -0000 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Migrations Lately References: From: Giorgos Keramidas Date: 29 Oct 1999 03:10:22 +0300 In-Reply-To: Kenneth Wayne Culver's message of "Thu, 28 Oct 1999 08:16:59 -0400 (EDT)" Message-ID: <86yacnni1d.fsf@localhost.hell.gr> Lines: 16 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.6.45/XEmacs 21.1 - "20 Minutes to Nikko" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Kenneth Wayne Culver writes: > It seems that the best OS around is finally getting noticed more and > more now that it's common knowledge that yahoo and hotmail use it. :-) Ahem, now this is really nice as flame-bait.

What I'm looking for is an OS that can be used like Win 98.2, but is more stable and less likely to crash, or freeze. I would also like to be able to use it as a Web server if I want to where I could serve up my own Web site. Also, I have the 2 floppies to install FreeBSD, and have tried to download it, but I have a somewhat unreliable connection and was wondering how I would download FBSD from the ftp site. Thanks again.

It's generally not available on FTP sites because it takes up too much space. Are you absolutely certain the software in question won't work on 2.2.8 (have you tried it)?

The number of FDs is related to the maximun number of users of your system which squid runs on. The simple way to increase FDs is to increase the number of maximun users in the kernel configuration file and then rebuild kernel.

This is happening with ftp, apache, samba, etc. The downstream is to the box is ~560KB/s, which is great. I tried netstat -ni and there were no collisions. I tried forcing the card to 10baseT half-duplex in rc.conf and with ifconfig, but that didn't help. I have tried every setting option with ifconfig and I am not running ipfw. Does anyone know why the upstream from this card might be so slow? I'm pretty sure its in the software somewhere as the switcher is 10/100 auto. No irq conflicts from dmesg either... grrrr.

I know that this isn't much of a solution, but even when I tweeked Squid 2.x to use as little memory as possible, it kept a lot of RAM in use for some reason. I eventually gave up and went to Squid 1.1, which didn't do this. If you're curious about the details of its behavior, email me.

You can also increase kern.maxfiles and kern.maxfilesperproc at runtime using sysctl. Increasing NMBCLUSTERS might be a good idea too, but thats not possible through sysctl. netstat -m shows you stats on NMBCLUSTER usage. > Jaime -Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 29 3:34:14 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from zeus.dnt.md (zeus.dnt.md [195.138.124.37]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8C90F1553E for ; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 03:34:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from sl@zeus.dnt.md) Received: from localhost (sl@localhost) by zeus.dnt.md (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA78488; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 13:33:51 +0300 (EEST) Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 13:33:51 +0300 (EEST) From: slava revutchi To: "Ronald F.

The `booteasy' boot manager that comes with FreeBSD is typically written to the MBR (master boot record) of your hard disk during installation. Probably Norton Antivirus has eliminated the boot manager. Boot from floppy/cd into the install program again, choose post-install configuration, fdisk disk slice editor, don't change anything, type `w' for write, select then boot manager installation, type `q' for quit and leave the whole thing. You will be able to boot the hard installation again, but you may want the protect the MBR of your hard disk against modification before by an appropriate bios setting (often but not always supported). After that, Norton Antivirus won't be able to eliminate booteasy again, and no virus will be able to copy itself into the MBR.

They (my employers) have a need for an ftp server to allow files to be transferred between client sites and the office. At present, large files are transferred either via ZIP drive or mail. Neither method is optimal. So an ftp server is called for. We want to allow FTP from anywhere as we can't determine in advance the source of an incoming file. But we want to prevent anyone from reading the contents of a file on the server unless they are an employee. Off hand, that sounds like anon-ftp for incoming traffic and supplying an account for those that need to get files from the ftp server. Encrypting the data on the wire is another matter and I may have to discuss that requirement with the rest of the company. Perhaps encrypting the data before it is transferred is a suitable option. I don't know what hardware I'll get. But I'll be going with 3.3-stable and the default ftp server for now. Anticipated traffic is unknown at this time. My guess is < 1GB per day. I'll be disabling everything to and from this box except ssh and ftp.

Squid will use the disk subsystem aggressively, even slightest misconfiguration or bad connection-termination somewhere causes usually lots of I/O errors and machine hang.

If going to single user is not an option, or you simply don't like the extra reboot, you can use `cp' instead of moving the files. # cd /usr # cp -pR local /usr2 || echo 'failed.' # cp -pR X11R6 /usr2 || echo 'failed.' and then after checking that everything has been copied correctly, and no 'failed.' messages were printed, you can `rm -fr' both /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 and substitute them with links to proper places in /usr2. Since this is on two separate disks, copying and deleting afterwards is probably just a tiny bit safer. -- Giorgos Keramidas, "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."

Q. How do I get my winmodem to work in Linux or BSD? A. You dont, winmodems only work in windows at this stage. Q. Should I buy an Internal or external modem ? A. See below Advantages of an External Modem 1. Transportable with minimum fuss 2. Plugs straight into Serial port 3. No messy IRQ's to assign or work out 4. Contains everything within its case to do intended job 5. Can see LED indicators to confirm data flow 6. Can be used as a troubleshooting tool if a second PC/modem is used 7. PC need not be shutdown/dismantled to replace faulty unit 8. Will not slow processor down (compared to winmodem) 9. Keeps one extra slot free for devices that cant be used externally (more important today as more devices common) 10. Is easier to hear actions such as dial tone etc 11. Much easier to troubleshoot for all 12. Easier identification of modem type and brand 13. No need to do a restart if hardware is not responding 14. In event of power surge, may take the brunt of damage Disadvantages 1. Costs a little more initially. 2. Reduces number of useable serial ports 3.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I may be missing something obvious, but here goes: I'm trying to find out a way to count up the amount of RAM in use in the system at a given time by given processes. Specifically, I'm trying to tune a dedicated web server/MySQL box so I can have as many apache proceses as is "comfortably" possible. The meaning of comfortable is to be determined. I looked at ps, but the only attribute I could find is pmem, which gives only a percentage. And those numbers were like 0.1, or .0. or 0.2, which isn't accurate enough. I also looked at top, but it only gives a pageful at a time, even if I do top -b. I tried a cheat like stty rows=200; top -b but no dice, and that doesn't seem very elegant to me. There have to be techniques and/or utilities in the ports collection, but I haven't come across anything. Cheers, Adam.

Under FreeBSD, /usr/local/etc/rc.d is a directory containing scripts that are run at boot time. Typically these are installed by some of the packeages from the ports collection. /etc/rc.conf is a placeholder for certain variables that help the system decide what services to run, what IP addresses bind to what NIC, what its hostname is, etc. It's a bit like a .h file. /etc/rc.local is sourced at the end of /etc/rc, and contains stuff local to your particular set up. It's for things you want your system to do that aren't covered by /etc/rc. Also, /etc/rc.local is preserved between system updates. Adam.

When the OS was probing the system, TEAC was not listed on the list of devices so I simply deleted the conflicting devices and pick Sony cd-rom. However, when I tried to mount the cd-rom, the OS says "incorrect super block". Next of all, I can't start the X window. When I run startx, it says "execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/X (errno 2).

I don't see any problem running FreeBSD on this machine, you'll need to somehow find out the chipset, I/O ports and IRQ for the network card if you want it to work. You'll also need to find out the schipset of the graphics card if you want to have a chance of getting X up and running (the graphics system). I also wonder what exact cdrom you have... scsi? IDE? proprietary? Several notes: a new sure to be supported ethernet card will probably be under 20$. same deal with the video card, but if you can open the box up of find out what exact card you have in there you can use it. find out what cdrom drive you have... Also, you can always download the floppy install disks and see how well you can get it to recognize your hardware. see : www.freebsd.org -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 29 6:54:42 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from fw.wintelcom.net (ns1.wintelcom.net [209.1.153.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B220114F04 for ; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 06:54:40 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bright@wintelcom.net) Received: from localhost (bright@localhost) by fw.wintelcom.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA16807; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 07:17:24 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 07:17:24 -0700 (PDT) From: Alfred Perlstein To: big-sky@altavista.net Cc: Freebsd-Questions Subject: Re: File Differences In-Reply-To: <000601bf2210$0da80700$0201010a@cmr.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Fri, 29 Oct 1999, Mark Einreinhof wrote: > Could someone enlighten me as to the difference between rc.d, rc.conf, and > rc.local.

Thanks again. > Ronald If you have a remote install and a poor line, I might suggest that you do a CD install, if possible, or, if you have a dos box handy that can download, do a floppy install. It will take around 25 floppies, for a bin/manpages/doc install, but it is doable, and it works fine for remote installs. After that, you can ftp to fill out the machine. Email me privately for details, since most of it is in the install guide, if memory serves me correctly today. If you have a poor line, webserving will not be fun.

I am new to this. Assuming your problem is a huge mailbox, pine is not a suitable solution because it tends to go overboard on resource consumption.

If so, don't tell the system about it at all ;-) Those choosable CD brands are for old proprietary CD-ROM drives (that usually plugged into sound cards and I don't think any of them were more than double speed so if you have double speed or better then it's probably IDE (or SCSI)). Unfortunately some of those did use a 40pin cable (same as IDE) so there has been a few mistakes made there :-( (not by me of course - I've had to fix other people's mistakes though).

I've only seen them with things like Word Star, early versions of Word Perfect, and Sprint. Control information should be visible and intelligible. TeX codes are visible but not intelligible. SGML codes are visible and, once you've learnt 5 layers of abstractions, intelligible. Personally I prefer [gt]roff, which falls somewhere in between.

Last week, Applixware was released for FreeBSD. I've tried it, and it doesn't seem as painful as WP or StarOffice, though I think that all GUI word processors are painful. But if you're looking for that sort of thing, you might like Applix. Sorry, I don't have a URL (I'm in a plane at the moment), but I don't expect you'd have difficulty finding it.

Another possibility is that the drive needs cleaning and is performing too many retries. You can check this by doing: dd if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/null bs=10b That should be fast (about 700 kB/s with compression, I believe). If things are still going slowly, you should check the drive. Clean it first; if that doesn't work, get it serviced before you start losing data.

I believe that DPT has some interim driver available, but I haven't seen a lot of enthusiasm for it. Check out their web site. There's no way you can use a Linux driver on FreeBSD (well, you can take the sources and adapt them, but that's a lot of work).

Any other steps? It's safe, and that's all you need to do. But. The real purpose of a debug kernel is to have information needed for debugging a system if you have a crash. A lot of people say "but FreeBSD never crashes", and they're almost right. When it does, however, it's almost impossible to find out why if you don't have a debug kernel. On the face of it, the best idea is to have a larger root file system which can take a debug kernel. A typical debug kernel weighs in at round about 10MB, compared to about 2.2 MB for a non-debug kernel. Expect both values to grow; I'd guess that a 50 MB root file system will do for the foreseeable future. If you leave the kernel in the root file system as a debug kernel, you don't have to worry about wiping away your sys/compile/MYKERNEL directory, which would save about 30 MB per kernel. Don't worry about the size of the kernel; the bootstrap loads only the parts which are needed, not including the symbols. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

I found that changing the "network_interfaces" variable in rc.conf from "fxp0 auto" to "fxp0 lo0" left me without functional networking, but changing it to "lo0 fxp0" got things working. My system uses DHCP to configure fxp0, so I figured it might be important to get lo0 first. Seems to have worked. g.

If you have a good smart switch you may be able to reset the mouse and bring it back into sync. For instance my Black Box switch lets me reset the mouse with "Ctl Ctl M W" which usually fixes the sync problems. I believe that serial mice will often resync if you unplug them and then plug them back in. That won't work with PS/2 mice though (at least I don't think it will, the last real PS/2s I used would require a power cycle after pulling the mouse). If your switch can't handle it then you'll probably have to get a new one. -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 29 10:33: 9 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from serenity.mcc.ac.uk (serenity.mcc.ac.uk [130.88.200.93]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5830F152DC for ; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 10:33:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jcm@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org) Received: from dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org ([130.88.200.97]) by serenity.mcc.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 1.92 #3) for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org id 11hFtg-000OJe-00; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 18:33:04 +0100 Received: from localhost (jcm@localhost) by dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id SAA09356 for ; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 18:33:04 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from jcm@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org) Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 18:33:04 +0100 (BST) From: J McKitrick To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: what is the 'lite' in 4.4 BSD Lite?

Current Syrus (last week) was 1.6. The 1.6 series requires Cyrus SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer). This seems to me from my limitted experience with it (mostly frustrating) to be a re-invention of the PAM architecture: a generalized middleware for configurable authentication. I was attempting to establish Cyrus imap because it uses a directory-mailbox architecture with message-per-file rather than mbox. I've had too many mbox corruptions recently. I had no particular success installing the Cyrus IMAP/SASL couple. The documentation I'm afraid is attrocious from an implementation/administration standpoint. Another wonderful looking in-house application that is publicshed without translating the experience needed to operate it into useful doc for newcomers to the app. As a final plea if anyone has found admin level instruction (as opposed to programmer's) on how to use the server/setup accounts/maintain the environment I would very much appreciate a note of direction.

A simple easy-tryout version of FBSD would be nice. Frankly, --cut-- I've said it a hundred times, Microsoft and Windows have turned the usually intelligent end-user into a brainless double-clicking fool. Sure, MS may have made computers easy to use but it's been my experience that when something looks too good to be true, it usually is. Afterall, if you have to maintain and support as many Winsux boxes as I do, you'll get bitter as well. Man I sure miss my old Tandy Color Computer 3... in those days, computer users were considered to be little men who hid in dark rooms with the glow of a CRT illuminating their face, for the most part, this wasn't too far from the truth. The point of this rambling is, with UNIX/FreeBSD there is a big learning curve if you're from the era of double-clicks, however, I found that after the initial learning curve (ie: how to move around, etc) I found it was the same comfortable place such as the old days of MS/PC-DOS ... There is a curve involved, and UNIX is not there for instant-gratification. And yes, when people tell you to RTFM it's for a good reason and generally your own good. So if you want the easy road, stick with Winsux and I garauntee you'll be no smarter then you were 5 minutes ago. If you want to get those juices flowing in yer melon, then rough it out with UNIX and learn something useful. Don't bother having some sort of infantile temper-tantrum just because you don't know how to read. FreeBSD != Winsux ....

The documentation sucks, very badly. It would be nice to see a couple of HOWTO's and such. The biggest reason why I avoided Cyrus- in the past was partly due to the complexity, and uncertainty generated by trying to make sense of it. I agree the SASL and 1.6 stuff is quirky. It probably needs a bit of time before it will become sane enough for production use. Everyone I've exchanged mail with has advised me to stick with the latest 1.5.x revision. Further, prior to posting to the info-cyrus list, I read through the documentation on their web page... only to get flamed (slightly), and realizing the info is sorely outdated. *shrug* Maybe it's time for another group to take over Cyrus :) *chortle* It does have lots of potential. _F At 12:00 PM 10/29/99 -0700, Erik Stainsby wrote: >Cyrus IMAP has moved on from the 1.5.19 that is in the ports collection. >Current Syrus (last week) was 1.6.

Also note that under FreeBSD, the routing table and the arp table are the same, so a "netstat -rn" will show arp entries as well as standard IP routing entries. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 29 12:39:28 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from serenity.mcc.ac.uk (serenity.mcc.ac.uk [130.88.200.93]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D48DC14D41 for ; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 12:39:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jcm@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org) Received: from dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org ([130.88.200.97]) by serenity.mcc.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 1.92 #3) id 11hHrw-0000cj-00; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 20:39:24 +0100 Received: from localhost (jcm@localhost) by dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id UAA10914; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 20:39:23 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from jcm@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org) Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 20:39:23 +0100 (BST) From: J McKitrick To: Alfred Perlstein Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: what is the 'lite' in 4.4 BSD Lite?

Why have a different root account? Bash has features which make it nicer to use. Push the up arrow on your keyboard at the command prompt to see just one of them. Push the tab key to see another. You want to use bash. You do not want to make it root's default.

Now for the gory details. Bash is built with the use of shared libraries. The libraries are in /usr/lib. Suppose /usr has a problem. You cannot mount /usr. You cannot use bash. If root tries to use bash but bash will not work, then root cannot login. Poof, you are locked out. sh does not shared libs. FWIW, bash can be built with static linking, but don't worry about that just yet.

If fstab shows these partitions mounted as da0s1a, da0s1b, etc then what=20 would be a proper config file for vinum? I did not find that vinum manual= =20 all that easy to read through. I know it has to look something like drive c device /dev/da0h drive d device /dev/da1h volume stripe plex org striped 512k sd length 4096m drive a sd length 4096m drive b sd length 4096m drive c sd length 4096m drive d or something like that...

Generally, agreed. But, that still does not really negate the case for having a training wheels release, to help folks along. It could be tailored as a no-brainer where it steps you through installation, and setup, and general mundane tasks like adding users, shutdown, setting up mail, practicing a telnet/ftp session, etc. It is hard to train a newbie if they can't even get a basic working machine up for whatever reason. It would make a good case for having a basic system up in a ``dos/windoz/whatever'' emulator, for safety's sake. One could use the dos pdp-11 emulator running V7, or one could use minix, or one could use whatever. But, it might make more sense to run a ``mini-FreeBSD'' that way, and be good PR for the crew. That is probably thinking out too loud, but it is a reasonable possibility and approach.

And that is one reason I often suggest running a spare box (without those other systems aboard), so a newbie can crash it to his liking and learning. It won't really break, nor run across the table, but, it is good learning that way, if it can be crashed at will and brought up from the pits, again. That's a bit of ``the olde fashioned way'', but good training. RTFM does not always help, but it is good to keep the FM's handy as you are walking through the installs/crashes/whatever. More good reference for learning. Just because I may have been running computers of various sorts for over 20 years absolutely does not mean that even I don't have to keep one hand on the FM's, still, for reference. There is a lot there, and it is not all in one place. FreeBSD IS one of the easiest and smooth- est of the lot to run with, though. All newbies should be aware of those FM's, although I still am of the opinion that some sort of training wheels system, in conjunction with those FM's would be good for all newbies. Perhaps a FreeBSD version of the on-line unix training classes from here and there would be good juju. That would definitely make FreeBSD more visible, and possibly more attractive for newbies. IMHO there ought to be a way do do that online from FreeBSD.org, so newbies could test-drive from a windoz browser.

There is no easy road, and the learning curve seems to be around 6 months to reach any productive efficiency. But, if they hang in there, they CAN do it. Good Luck!

The thing that's probably confusing you is that FreeBSD subdivides the partitions in the partition table, rather in the same way that Microsoft puts multiple "logical" partitions in a "physical" partition. We call the "physical" partitions "slices", and the "logical" partitions just plain partitions. /dev/da0s1e is partition e of slice 1 of the first da (SCSI) drive. > The reason for all this is because I am trying to install vinum, I > have two 9 gig scsi drives and I would like have them mirror each > other.

That looks fine, except that you also need to define drives a and b :-) If you only have two drives, and they're both the same size, you can say vinum stripe /dev/da0h /dev/da1h See the (illegible) man page for further details. You issue this as a command, you don't put it into your config file. Before you do any of this, you first need to label your drives. Use fdisk and disklabel to do this. Make sure you make your Vinum partitions of type "vinum", or you won't be able to configure them. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

That is the ammount of memory in 1024 bytes that the process is using at the time that the ps was run. This number can be helpfull in figuring out how many of something you can run simultaniously. Note that things like webservers may have widely varying ammounts of memory use depending on the mix of transactions at the particular time. Vmstat(8) is also a good utility for viewing overall memory usage.

As such you would use our OS installed on a computer that would become your webserver. Every webpage on the net comes from a webserver. Now about posting "to the internet". Computers such as webservers make up the internet. If you had such a webserver in an office at your school, you would have a piece of the internet right in your office. FreeBSD can fill this role. You speak of a "scnc" server. Is this a school owned webserver? If so, then you really don't need FreeBSD. You just need to put the files on the scnc server. Ask your scnc administrator for details on how to do this. If the scnc is a webserver then you have the "internet" right there in your school. Put the webpage on the scnc in the right place and your webpage is "posted to the internet". Do you have an scnc administrator? Is there anyone who can tell you what "services" the scnc server offers? Your question is a pretty big question if you intend to build your own webserver. If you want to build a webserver of your own, FreeBSD can help. Be prepared for a steep learning curve if you can't bring in professional help.

One slip of the finger and mergemaster has removed a file you do not want to loose... It is not as difficult and tedious as it looks. You can loose all the files in /etc that are form the date and time you installed last time. Only the rest should be compared for your own additions/changes.

I did this for a while. (until I discovered the one true way:)) IIRC, when you exit zsh you will still be in sh/csh. At any rate, I quit doing this for some pain it was causing me. Toor is there for exactly there reasons we have discussed so far. It is not any less safe, nor any more difficult to use toor for it's intended purpose than it is to do some sort of scripting with root's shell. There is more than one way to do it, to be sure. Redhat's method is yet another way. They have bash with static linking as root's default shell and don't fuss with any of this. Mr. McKitrick has heard the whole deal on the topic.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.org, and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? =================================================== Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people who are new to FreeBSD and may be having trouble getting used to the environment. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, first check whether this isn't a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ). There's a list of these questions at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.html, and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at /usr/share/doc/FAQ/FAQ.html. Check there, and if you don't find an answer, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about installing FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're almost sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. You should also enter a problem report with the send-pr utility. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question is of particularly technical nature, such as implementation details or suggestions for improvements, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If you're new to FreeBSD, and the message is about your own relationship to FreeBSD, send the message to FreeBSD-newbies. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: How to submit a question ============================= When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. ``FreeBSD problem'' or ``Help'' aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. For further information on this subject, check out http://www.lemis.com/email.html. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: If you get error messages, don't say ``I get error messages'', say (for example) ``I get the error message 'No route to host'''. If your system panics, don't say ``My system panicked'', say (for example) ``my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'''. If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 7. If you don't get an answer immediately, or if you don't even see your own message appear on the list immediately, don't resend the message. Wait at least 24 hours. The FreeBSD mailer offloads messages to a number of subordinate mailers around the world, and sometimes it can take several hours for the mail to get through. And once it gets through, the one person who might know the answer will probably just have gone to bed in his part of the world. 8. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: How to follow up to a question ================================= Often you will want to send in additional information to a question you have already sent. The best way to do this is to reply to your original message. This has three advantages: 1. You include the original message text, so people will know what you're talking about. Don't forget to trim unnecessary text out, though. 2. The text in the subject line stays the same (you did remember to put one in, didn't you?). Many mailers will sort messages by subject. This helps group messages together. 3. The message reference numbers in the header will refer to the previous message. Some mailers, such as mutt, can thread messages, showing the exact relationships between the messages. VI: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure you understand the question? Very frequently, the person who asks the question is confused or doesn't express himself very well. Even with the best understanding of the system, it's easy to send a reply which doesn't answer the question. This doesn't help: you'll leave the person who submitted the question more frustrated or confused than ever. If nobody else answers, and you're not too sure either, you can always ask for more information. 5. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 6. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the sender and to FreeBSD-questions. Many people on the FreeBSD-questions are "lurkers": they learn by reading messages sent and replied to by others. If you take a message which is of general interest off the list, you're depriving these people of their information. Be careful with group replies; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. If this is the case, be sure to trim the Cc: lines appropriately. 7. Include relevant text from the original message. Trim it to the minimum, but don't overdo it. It should still be possible for somebody who didn't read the original message to understand what you're talking about. 8. Use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending ``> '' to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ``> '' and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. 9. Put your response in the correct place (after the text to which it replies). It's very difficult to read a thread of responses where each reply comes before the text to which it replies. 10. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as ``Re: ''. If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. 11. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), please fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as ``HELP!!??''), change the subject line to (say) ``Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)''. That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. You'll find this information on page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents). See the end of this document for instructions on how to find the errata for an older version. You can get the current document in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ps. See page 302 of the third edition to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-3.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at Page ii _______ The instructions on page ii (opposite the title page) tell you to look at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2 for the errata list. That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _________________ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration ____________________________________________ After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 ________ The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable="YES" # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 ________ The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the following data: AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enbld): 0 ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enbld): 1 TB (Transfer Block): 0 RC (Read Continuous): 0 EER (Enable Early Recovery): 0 PER (Post Error): 0 DTE (Disable Transfer on Error): 0 DCR (Disable Correction): 0 Read Retry Count: 16 Correction Span: 41 Head Offset Count: 0 Data Strobe Offset Count: 0 Write Retry Count: 16 Recovery Time Limit: 0 The values for AWRE and ARRE should both be 1. If they aren't, as in this case, where AWRE is 0, change the data with the editor, save it, and exit. The camcontrol program will write the data back to the disk and enable the option. Page 3 The Complete FreeBSD Page 331 ________ The description of the config refers to the SCSI drive sd0. This is the old name; in FreeBSD version 3, SCSI drives are called da, so this reference should be da0. Thanks to Francisco Reyes for pointing out this problem. Page 362 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel: # cd ../../compile/FREEBIE # make depend # make The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created: apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files needed for the build. Thanks to Mark Ovens for drawing this to my attention, and to Francisco Reyes and Bill Fumerola for pointing out that it still wasn't fixed in the third edition. Page 409 ________ The information on setting the default routers specified the wrong end of the PPP links in some places. It should always be the ``far'' end of the link. Replace the second example on page 409, and the text following it, with this text: defaultrouter="139.130.136.129" # Set to default gateway (or NO). static_routes="" # Set to static route list (or leave empty). gateway_enable="YES" # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway. This is the normal way to set the default route on a point-to-point interface. In fact, for PPP you don't need to specify the default address: the PPP packages will set it for you when the link comes up. This makes it possible to Page 4 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition set default routes when you're forced to use dynamic IP addresses, where you don't know the address at this point. We'll see how PPP does this on page 446. In the first example on page 410, the sixth example on page 412 and the second example on page 413, replace the defaultrouter definition with: defaultrouter="139.130.237.65" # Set to default gateway (or NO). Thanks to Andreas Longwitz for pointing out this error. Getting errata for older editions of the book _____________________________________________ There have been a total of five different versions of ``The Complete FreeBSD''. The most accurate way to distinguish them is by the format date, which you'll find at the bottom of page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents) in all versions of the book. 1. The first was titled ``Installing and running FreeBSD'', and was formatted on 24 February 1996. No errata list exists for this book. 2. For the first edition (19 July 1996), get ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/er- rata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/errata-1. I am no longer updating this errata list. 3. The list for the second edition (16 December 1997) is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the second edition to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only Page 5 Getting errata for older editions of the book take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html. 4. The revised second edition was formatted on 11 February 1999. As the name suggests, it's not a complete new edition: in fact, only three chapters are different: o The chapter ``Setting up X11'' has been brought up to date. o Appendix D (``Contents of the Ports Collection'') has been replaced by two appendixes, ``Errata and Addenda'' (the errata list up to date at the time) and ``FreeBSD 3.0'', which describes the differences between FreeBSD 2.x and FreeBSD 3.x. There is no separate errata list for this book. Refer to the second edition errata list. 5. The current, third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. This is the correct list for this edition.

In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. This list is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the book to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at General changes _______________ o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find process information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake for this information Location of the sample files ____________________________ On the 2.2.5 CD-ROM only, the location of the sample files does not match the specifications in the book (/book on the first CD-ROM). The 2.2.5 CD-ROM came out before the book, and it contains the files on the third (repository) CD-ROM as a single gzipped tar file /xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz. It contains the following files: drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/ drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 13:01 1997 cfbsd/mutt/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 352 Oct 15 15:21 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.mail_aliases -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 9394 Oct 15 15:22 1997 cfbsd/mutt/.muttrc drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 18281 Oct 16 16:52 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.fvwm2rc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 1392 Oct 17 12:54 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-desktop -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 296 Oct 17 12:35 1997 cfbsd/scripts/.xinitrc -rwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 622 Oct 17 13:51 1997 cfbsd/scripts/install-rcfiles -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1133 Oct 17 13:00 1997 cfbsd/scripts/Uutry -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 1028 Oct 17 14:02 1997 cfbsd/scripts/README drwxr-xr-x jkh/jkh 0 Oct 18 19:32 1997 cfbsd/docs/ -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 199111 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.txt Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 189333 Oct 16 14:28 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.txt -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 188108 Oct 16 14:29 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 226439 Oct 16 14:27 1997 cfbsd/docs/packages-by-category.ps -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 788 Oct 16 15:01 1997 cfbsd/README -rw-r--r-- jkh/jkh 248 Oct 17 11:52 1997 cfbsd/errata To extract one of these files, say cfbsd/docs/packages.txt, and assuming you have the CD-ROM mounted as /cdrom, enter: # cd /usr/share/doc # tar xvzf /cdrom/xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz cfbsd/docs/packages.txt See page 209 for more information on using tar. These files are an early version of what is described in the book. I'll put up some updated versions on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/ in the near future. Thanks to Frank McCormick for drawing this to my attention. Chapter 8: Setting up X11 _________________________ For FreeBSD 2.2.7, this chapter has changed sufficiently to make it impractical to distribute errata. You can download the PostScript version from ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/xsetup.ps, or the ASCII version from ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/xsetup.txt. No HTML version is available. Page xxxiv __________ Before the discussion of the shell prompts in the middle of the page, add: In this book, I recommend the use of the Bourne shell or one of its descendents (sh, bash, pdksh, ksh or zsh). With the exception of sh, they are all in the Ports Collection. I personally use the bash shell. This is a personal preference, and a recommendation, but it's not the standard shell. The standard BSD shell is the C shell (csh), which has a fuller- featured descendent tcsh. In particular, the standard installation sets the root user up with a csh. See page 152 (in this errata) for details of how to change the shell. Page 3 General changes Page 11: Reading the handbook _____________________________ The CD-ROM now includes Netscape. Replace the last paragraph on the page and the example on the following page with: If you're running X, you can use a browser like netscape to read the handbook. If you don't have X running yet, use lynx. Both of these programs are included on the CD-ROM. To install them, enter: # pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/netscape-communicator-4.5.tgz or # pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/lynx-2.8.1.1.tgz The numbers after the name (4.5 and 2.8.1.1) may change after this book has been printed. Use ls to list the names if you can't find these particular versions. Note that lynx is not a complete substitute for netscape: since it is text- only, it is not capable of displaying the large majority of web pages correctly. It will suffice for reading most of the handbook, however. Thanks to Stuart Henderson and for drawing this to my attention. Page 12: Printing the handbook ______________________________ The instructions for formatting the handbook are obsolete. Replace the section starting Alternatively, you can print out the handbook with the following text: Alternatively, you can print out the handbook. You need to have the documentation sources (/usr/doc) installed on your system. You can find them on the second CD-ROM in the directory of the same name. To install them, first mount your CD-ROM (see page 175). Then enter: $ cd /cdrom/usr/doc/handbook $ mkdir -p /usr/doc/handbook you may need to be root for this operation $ cp -pr * /usr/doc/handbook You have a choice of formats for the output: o ascii will give you plain 7-bit ASCII output, suitable for reading on a character-mode terminal. Page 4 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition o html will give you HTML output, suitable for browsing with a web browser. o latex will give you LATEX format, suitable for further processing with TEX and LATEX. o ps will give you PostScript output, probably the best choice for printing. o roff will give you output in troff source. You can process this output with nroff or troff, but it's currently not very polished. LATEX output is a better choice if you want to process it further. Once you have decided your format, use make to create the document. For example, if you decide on PostScript format, you would enter: $ make FORMATS=ps This creates a file handbook.ps which you can then print to a PostScript printer or with the aid of ghostscript (see page 222). Thanks to Bob Beer for drawing this to my attention. Page 45: Preparing floppies for installation _____________________________________________ Replace the paragraph below the list of file names (in the middle of the page) with: The floppy set should contain the file bin.inf and the ones whose names start with bin. followed by two letters. These other files are all 240640 bytes long, except for the final one which is usually shorter. Use the MS-DOS COPY program to copy as many files as will fit onto each disk (5 or 6) until you've got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Copy each distribution into subdirectory corresponding to the base name--for example, copy the bin distribution to the files A:\BIN\BIN.INF, A:\BIN\BIN.AA and so on. Page 80 and 81 ______________ In a couple of examples, the FreeBSD partition is shown as type 164. It should be 165. Thanks to an unknown contributer for this correction (sorry, I lost your name). Page 5 General changes Page 88: setting up for dumping _______________________________ The example mentions a variable savecore in /etc/rc.conf. This variable is no longer used--it's enough to set the variable dumpdev. Page 92 _______ At the end of the section How to install a package add the text: Alternatively, you can install packages from the /stand/sysinstall Final Configuration Menu. We saw this menu on page in figure 4-14 on page 71. When you start sysinstall from the command line, you get to this menu by selecting Index, and then selecting Configure. Page 93 _______ Before the heading Install ports from the first CD-ROM add: Install ports when installing the system ________________________________________ The file ports/ports.tgz on the first CD-ROM is a tar archive containing all the ports. You can install it with the base system if you select the Custom distribution and include the ports collection. If you didn't install them at the time, use the following method to install them all (about 40 MB). Make sure your CD-ROM is mounted (in this example on /cdrom), and enter: Page 96 _______ Replace the example at the top of the page with: Instead, do: # cd /cd4/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # for i in *; do > ln -s /cd4/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i > done Page 6 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition If you're using csh or tcsh, enter: # cd /cd4/ports/distfiles # mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles make sure you have a distfiles directory # foreach i (*) ? ln -s /cd4/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/distfiles/$i ? end Thanks to Christopher Raven and Francois Jacques for drawing this to my attention. Page 104 ________ The examples at the bottom of the page and the top of the next page specify the wrong directory (/usr). It should be /usr/X11R6. Replace the examples with: For a full install, choose /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz. If you are using sh, enter: # cd /usr/X11R6 # for i in /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz; do # tar xzf $i # done If you are using csh, enter: % cd /usr/X11R6 % foreach i (/cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331*.tgz) % tar xzf $i % end For a minimal installation, first choose a server archive corresponding to your VGA board. If table 8-2 on page 103 doesn't give you enough information, check the server man pages, starting on page 1545, which list the VGA chip sets supported by each server. For example, if you have an ET4000 based board you will use the XF86_SVGA server. In this case you would enter: # cd /usr/X11R6 # tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331SVGA.tgz substitute your server name here # for i in bin fnts lib xicf; do # tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331$i.tgz # done Page 7 Install ports when installing the system If you are using csh, enter: % cd /usr/X11R6 % tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/X331SVGA.tgz substitute your server name here % foreach i (bin fnts lib xicf) % tar xzf /cdrom/dists/XF86331/$i % end Thanks to Manuel Enrique Garcia Cuesta for pointing out this one. Page 128 ________ Replace the complete text below the example with the following: These values are defaults, and many are either incorrect for FreeBSD (for example the device name /dev/com1) or do not apply at all (for example Xqueue). If you are configuring manually, select one Protocol and one Device entry from the following selection. If you must use a two-button mouse, uncomment the keyword Emulate3Buttons--in this mode, pressing both mouse buttons simultane- ously within Emulate3Timeout milliseconds causes the server to report a middle button press. Section "Pointer" Protocol "Microsoft" for Microsoft protocol mice Protocol "MouseMan" for Logitech mice Protocol "PS/2" for a PS/2 mouse Protocol "Busmouse" for a bus mouse Device "/dev/ttyd0" for a mouse on the first serial port Device "/dev/ttyd1" for a mouse on the second serial port Device "/dev/ttyd2" for a mouse on the third serial port Device "/dev/ttyd3" for a mouse on the fourth serial port Device "/dev/psm0" for a PS/2 mouse Device "/dev/mse0" for a bus mouse Emulate3Buttons only for a two-button mouse EndSection You'll notice that the protocol name does not always match the manufacturer's Page 8 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition name. In particular, the Logitech protocol only applies to older Logitech mice. The newer ones use either the MouseMan or Microsoft protocols. Nearly all modern serial mice run one of these two protocols, and most run both. If you are using a bus mouse or a PS/2 mouse, make sure that the device driver is included in the kernel. The GENERIC kernel contains drivers for both mice, but the PS/2 driver is disabled. Use UserConfig (see page 50) to enable it. Page 140 ________ Just before the paragraph The super user add the following paragraph: If you do manage to lose the root password, all may not be lost. Reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # mount /usr mount /usr file system (if separate) # passwd root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup If you have a separate /usr file system (the normal case), you need to mount it as well, since the passwd program is in the directory /usr/bin. Note that you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the system doesn't have the concept of user IDs. Page 148 ________ Replace the text at the top of the page with: Modern shells supply command line editing which resembles the editors vi or Emacs. In bash, sh, ksh, and zsh you can make the choice by entering Page 152 ________ After figure 10-8, add the following text: It would be tedious for every user to put settings in their private initialization files, so the shells also read a system-wide default file. For the Bourne shell family, it is /etc/profile, while the C shell family has three Page 9 Install ports when installing the system files: /etc/csh.login to be executed on login, /etc/csh.cshrc to be executed when a new shell is started after you log in, and /etc/csh.logout to be executed when you stop a shell. The start files are executed before the corresponding individual files. In addition, login classes (page 141) offer another method of setting environment variables at a global level. Changing your shell ___________________ The FreeBSD installation gives root a C shell, csh. This is the traditional Berkeley shell, but it has a number of disadvantages: command line editing is very primitive, and the script language is significantly different from that of the Bourne shell, which is the de facto standard for shell scripts: if you stay with the C shell, you may still need to understand the Bourne shell. The latest version of the Bourne shell sh also includes some command line editing. See page 148 for details of how to enable it. You can get better command line editing with tcsh, in the Ports Collection. You can get both better command line editing and Bourne shell syntax with bash, also in the Ports Collection. If you have root access, you can use vipw to change your shell, but there's a more general way: use chsh (Change Shell). Simply run the program. It starts your favourite editor (as defined by the EDITOR environment variable). Here's an example before: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /bin/csh Full Name: Jack Velte Location: Office Phone: Home Phone: You can change anything after the colons. For example, you might change this to: #Changing user database information for velte. Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash Full Name: Jack Velte Location: On the road Office Phone: +1-408-555-1999 Home Phone: Page 10 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition chsh checks and updates the password files when you save the modifications and exit the editor. The next time you log in, you get the new shell. chsh tries to ensure you don't make any mistakes--for example, it won't let you enter the name of a shell which isn't mentioned in the file /etc/shells--but it's a very good idea to check the shell before logging out. You can try this with su, which you normally use to become super user: bumble# su velte Password: su-2.00$ note the new prompt There are a couple of problems in using tcsh or bash as a root shell: o The shell for root must be on the root file system, otherwise it will not work in single user mode. Unfortunately, most ports of shells put the shell in the directory /usr/local/bin, which is almost never on the root file system. o Most shells are dynamically linked: they rely on library routines in files such as /usr/lib/libc.a. These files are not available in single user mode, so the shells won't work. You can solve this problem by creating statically linked versions of the shell, but this requires programming experience beyond the scope of this book. If you can get hold of a statically linked version, perform the following steps to install it: o Copy the shell to /bin, for example: # cp /usr/local/bin/bash /bin o Add the name of the shell to /etc/shells, in this example the line in bold print: # List of acceptable shells for chpass(1). # Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using # one of these shells. /bin/sh /bin/csh /bin/bash You can then change the shell for root as described above. Page 11 Install ports when installing the system Thanks to Lars Koller for drawing this to my attention. Page 160 ________ Replace the text at the fourth bullet with the augmented text: The second-level boot locates the kernel, by default the file /kernel on the root file system, and loads it into memory. It prints the Boot: prompt at this point so that you can influence this choice--see the man page on page 579 for more details of what you can enter at this prompt. Page 169 ________ Replace the last paragraph on the page with: The standard solution for these problems is to relocate the /tmp file system to a different directory, say /usr/tmp, and create a symbolic link from /usr/tmp to /tmp--see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 72, for more details. Thanks to Charlie Sorsby for drawing this to my attention. Page 176 ________ Add the following paragraph Unmounting file systems When you mount a file system, the system assumes it is going to stay there, and in the interests of efficiency it delays writing data back to the file system. This is the same effect we discussed on page 158. As a result, if you want to stop using a file system, you need to tell the system about it. You do this with the umount command. Note the spelling--there's no n in the command name. You need to do this even with read-only media such as CD-ROMs: the system assumes it can access the data from a mounted file system, and it gets quite unhappy if it can't. Where possible, it locks removable media so that you can't remove them from the device until you unmount them. Using umount is straightforward: just tell it what to unmount, either the device name or the directory name. For example, to unmount the CD-ROM we Page 12 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition mounted in the example above, you could enter one of these commands: # umount /dev/cd1a # umount /cd1 Before unmounting a file system, umount checks that nobody is using it. If somebody is using it, it will refuse to unmount it with a message like umount: /cd1: Device busy. This message often occurs because you have changed your directory to a directory on the file system you want to remove. For example (which also shows the usefulness of having directory names in the prompt): === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 16 -> umount /cd1 umount: /cd1: Device busy === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 17 -> cd === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 18 -> umount /cd1 === root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 19 -> Thanks to Ken Deboy for pointing out this omission. Page 180 ________ The example in the middle of the page should read: For example, to generate a second set of 32 pseudo-terminals, enter: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV pty1 You can generate up to 256 pseudo-terminals. They are named ttyp0 through ttypv, ttyq0 through ttyqv, ttyr0 through ttyrv, ttys0 through ttysv, ttyP0 through ttyPv, ttyQ0 through ttyQv, ttyR0 through ttyRv and ttyS0 through ttySv. To create each set of 32 terminals, use the number of the set: the first set is pty0, and the eighth set is pty7. Note that some processes, such as xterm, only look at ttyp0 through ttysv. Thanks to Karl Wagner for pointing out this error. Page 197, first line ____________________ The text of the first full sentence reads: Page 13 Install ports when installing the system The first name, up the the symbol, is the label. In fact, it should read: The first name, up to the | symbol, is the label. Page 208, middle of page ________________________ The example shows the file name /dev/rst0 when using the Bourne shell, and /dev/nrst0 when using C shell and friends. This is inconsistent; use /dev/nrst0 with any shell if you want a non-rewinding tape, or /dev/rst0 if you want a rewinding tape. Thanks to Norman C Rice for pointing out this one. Page 219 ________ Before the section Testing the spooler add the following section: As we saw above, the line printer daemon lpd is responsible for printing spooled jobs. By default it isn't started at boot time. If you're root, you can start it by name: # lpd Normally, however, you will want it to be started automatically when the system starts up. You do this by setting the variable lpd_enable in /etc/rc.conf: lpd_enable="YES" # Run the line printer daemon See page for more details of /etc/rc.conf. Another line in /etc/rc.conf refers to the line printer daemon: lpd_flags="" # Flags to lpd (if enabled). You don't normally need to change this line. See the man page for lpd for details of the flags. Thanks to Tommy G. James for bringing this to my attention. Page 14 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Page 231 ________ Replace the first line of the example with: xhost presto bumble gw The original version allowed anybody on the Internet to access your system. Thanks to Jerry Dunham for drawing this one to my attention. Page 237 ________ In the section Installing the sample desktop, replace the first paragraph with: You'll find all the files described in this chapter on the first CD-ROM (Installation CD-ROM) in the directory /book. Remember that you must mount the CD-ROM before you can access the files--see page 175 for further details. The individual scripts are in the directory /book/scripts, but you'll probably find it easier to install them with the script install-desktop: Thanks to Chris Kaiser for drawing this to my attention. Page 242 ________ The instructions for extracting the source files from CD-ROM in the middle of page 242 are incorrect. You'll find the kernel sources on the first CD-ROM in the directory /src. Replace the example with: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/src/ssys.[a-d]* | tar xzvf - Thanks to Raymond Noel , Suttipan Limanond and Satwant for finding this one in several small slices. Page 15 Install ports when installing the system Page 257 ________ Replace the paragraph Berkeley Packet Filter with: pseudo-device bpfilter ______________________ The Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf) allows you to capture packets crossing a network interface to disk or to examine them with the tcpdump program. Note that this capability represents a significant compromise of network security. The number after bpfilter is the number of concurrent processes that can use the facility. Not all network interfaces support bpf. In order to use the Berkeley Packet Filter, you must also create the device nodes /dev/bpf0 to /dev/bpf3 (if you're using the default number 4). Current- ly, MAKEDEV doesn't help much--you need to create each device separately: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV bpf0 # ./MAKEDEV bpf1 # ./MAKEDEV bpf2 # ./MAKEDEV bpf3 Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my attention. Page 264 ________ In the list of disk driver flags, add: o Bit 12 (0x1000) enables LBA (logical block addressing mode). If this bit is not set, the driver accesses the disk in CHS (cylinder/head/sector) mode. o In CHS mode, if bits 11 to 8 are not equal to 0, they specify the number of heads to assume (between 1 and 15). The driver recalculates the number of cylinders to make up the total size of the disk. Page 16 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Page 273, ``Building the kernel'' _________________________________ Replace the example with: Next, change to the build directory and build the kernel: # cd ../../compile/FREEBIE # make depend # make The make depend is needed even if the directory has just been created: apart from creating dependency information, it also creates some files needed for the build. Thanks to Mark Ovens for drawing this to my attention. Page 283, ``Creating the source tree'' ______________________________________ Add a third point to what you need to know: 3. Possibly, the date of the last update that you want to be included in the checkout. If you specify this date, cvs ignores any more recent updates. This option is often useful when somebody discovers a recently introduced bug in -CURRENT: you check out the modules as they were before the bug was introduced. You specify the date with the -D option, for example -D "10 December 1997". Page 285, after the second example. ___________________________________ Add the text: If you need to check out an older version, for example if there are problems with the most recent version of -CURRENT, you could enter: # cvs co -D "10 December 1997" src/sys This command checks out the kernel sources as of 10 December 1997. Page 17 Install ports when installing the system Page 294 ________ Add the following section: Problems executing Linux binaries _________________________________ One of the problems with the ELF format used by more recent Linux binaries is that they usually contain no information to identify them as Linux binaries. They might equally well be BSD/OS or UnixWare binaries. That's not really a problem at this point, since the only ELF format that FreeBSD 3.2 understands is Linux, but FreeBSD-CURRENT recognizes a native FreeBSD ELF format as well, and of course that's the default. If you want to run a Linux ELF binary on such a system, you must brand the executable using the program brandelf. For example, to brand the StarOffice program swriter3, you would enter: # brandelf -t linux /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/linux-x86/bin/swriter3 Thanks to Dan Busarow for bringing this to my attention. Page 364, middle of page ________________________ Change the text from: The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though they may be in lower case. to The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though newer versions of ppp allow you to write them in lower case. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for this correction. Page 368 ________ Replace the paragraph after the second example with: In FreeBSD version 3.0 and later, specify the options PPP_BSDCOMP and Page 18 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition PPP_DEFLATE to enable two kinds of compression. You'll also need to specify the corresponding option in Kernel PPP's configuration file. These options are not available in FreeBSD version 2. Thanks to Brian Somers for this information. Page 397 ________ In the section ``Nicknames'', the example should read: www IN CNAME freebie ftp IN CNAME presto In other words, there should be a space between CNAME and the system name. Page 422 ________ Replace the text above the example with: tcpdump is a program which monitors a network interface and displays selected information which passes through it. It uses the Berkeley Packet Filter (bpf), an optional component of the kernel. It is not included in the GENERIC kernel: see page 257 for information on how to configure it. If you don't configure the Berkeley Packet Filter, you will get a message like tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: device not configured If you forget to create the devices for bpf, you will get a message like: tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: No such file or directory Since tcpdump poses a potential security problem, you must be root in order to run it. The simplest way to run it is without any parameters. This will cause tcpdump to monitor and display all traffic on the first active network interface, normally Ethernet: Thanks to Christopher Raven for drawing this to my attention. Page 19 Install ports when installing the system Page 423 ________ The description at the top of the page incorrectly uses the term IP address instead of Ethernet address. In addition, a page number reference is incorrect. Replace the paragraph with: o Line 1 shows an ARP request: system presto is looking for the Ethernet address of wait. It would appear that wait is currently not responding, since there is no reply. o Line 2 is not an IP message at all. tcpdump shows the Ethernet addresses and the beginning of the packet. We don't consider this kind of request in this book. o Line 3 is a broadcast ntp message. We looked at ntp on page 160. o Line 4 is another attempt by presto to find the IP address of wait. o Line 5 is a broadcast message from bumble on the rwho port, giving information about its current load averages and how long it has been up. See the man page for rwho on page 1167 for more information. o Line 6 is from a TCP connection between port 6000 on freebie and port 1089 on presto. It is sending 384 bytes (with the sequence numbers 536925467 to 536925851; see page 305), and is acknowledging that the last byte it received from presto had the sequence number 325114346. The window size is 17280. o Line 7 is another ARP request. presto is looking for the Ethernet address of freebie. How can that happen? We've just seen that they have a TCP connection. In fact, ARP information expires after 20 minutes. It's quite possible that all connections between presto and freebie have been dormant for this period, so presto needs to find freebie's IP address again. o Line 8 is the ARP reply from freebie to presto giving its Ethernet address. o Line 9 shows a reply from presto on the connection to freebie that we saw on line 6. It acknowledges the data up to sequence number 536925851, but doesn't send any itself. o Line 10 shows another 448 bytes of data from freebie to presto, and acknowledging the same sequence number from presto as in line 6. Thanks to Sergei S. Laskavy for drawing this to my Page 20 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition attention. Page 450: anonymous ftp _______________________ Replace the paragraph starting with Create a user ftp: Create a user ftp, with the anonymous ftp directory as the home directory and the shell /dev/null. Using /dev/null as the shell makes it impossible to log in as user ftp, but does not interfere with the use of anonymous ftp. ftp can be a member of group bin, or you can create a new group ftp by adding the group to /etc/group. See page 138 for more details of adding users, and the man page on page 805 for adding groups. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for drawing this to my attention. Page 466, before the ps example _______________________________ Add another bullet: o Finally, you may find it convenient to let some other system handle all your mail delivery for you: you just send anything you can't deliver locally to this other host, which sendmail calls a smart host. This is particularly convenient if you send your mail with UUCP. To tell sendmail to use a smart host (in our case, mail.example.net), find the following line in sendmail.cf: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS Change it to: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmail.example.net Page 478, ``Running Apache'' ____________________________ The text describes the location of the server as /usr/local/www/server/httpd. This appears to depend on where you get the port from. Some people report the file being at the more likely location /usr/local/sbin/httpd (though note the Page 21 Install ports when installing the system directory sbin, not bin). Check both locations if you run into trouble. Thanks to Sue Blake for this information. Page 492 ________ Replace references to nmdb with nmbd. Page 493 ________ Replace the last paragraph on the page with: socket options is hardly mentioned in the documentation, but it's very important: many Microsoft implementations of TCP/IP are inefficient and establish a new TCP more often than necessary. Select the socket options TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up the response time of such applications by over 95%.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.org, and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? =================================================== Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people who are new to FreeBSD and may be having trouble getting used to the environment. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, first check whether this isn't a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ). There's a list of these questions at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.html, and also on your own system (once you've installed it) at /usr/share/doc/FAQ/FAQ.html. Check there, and if you don't find an answer, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about installing FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're almost sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. You should also enter a problem report with the send-pr utility. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question is of particularly technical nature, such as implementation details or suggestions for improvements, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If you're new to FreeBSD, and the message is about your own relationship to FreeBSD, send the message to FreeBSD-newbies. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: How to submit a question ============================= When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. ``FreeBSD problem'' or ``Help'' aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. For further information on this subject, check out http://www.lemis.com/email.html. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: If you get error messages, don't say ``I get error messages'', say (for example) ``I get the error message 'No route to host'''. If your system panics, don't say ``My system panicked'', say (for example) ``my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'''. If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 7. If you don't get an answer immediately, or if you don't even see your own message appear on the list immediately, don't resend the message. Wait at least 24 hours. The FreeBSD mailer offloads messages to a number of subordinate mailers around the world, and sometimes it can take several hours for the mail to get through. And once it gets through, the one person who might know the answer will probably just have gone to bed in his part of the world. 8. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: How to follow up to a question ================================= Often you will want to send in additional information to a question you have already sent. The best way to do this is to reply to your original message. This has three advantages: 1. You include the original message text, so people will know what you're talking about. Don't forget to trim unnecessary text out, though. 2. The text in the subject line stays the same (you did remember to put one in, didn't you?). Many mailers will sort messages by subject. This helps group messages together. 3. The message reference numbers in the header will refer to the previous message. Some mailers, such as mutt, can thread messages, showing the exact relationships between the messages. VI: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure you understand the question? Very frequently, the person who asks the question is confused or doesn't express himself very well. Even with the best understanding of the system, it's easy to send a reply which doesn't answer the question. This doesn't help: you'll leave the person who submitted the question more frustrated or confused than ever. If nobody else answers, and you're not too sure either, you can always ask for more information. 5. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 6. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the sender and to FreeBSD-questions. Many people on the FreeBSD-questions are "lurkers": they learn by reading messages sent and replied to by others. If you take a message which is of general interest off the list, you're depriving these people of their information. Be careful with group replies; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. If this is the case, be sure to trim the Cc: lines appropriately. 7. Include relevant text from the original message. Trim it to the minimum, but don't overdo it. It should still be possible for somebody who didn't read the original message to understand what you're talking about. 8. Use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending ``> '' to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ``> '' and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. 9. Put your response in the correct place (after the text to which it replies). It's very difficult to read a thread of responses where each reply comes before the text to which it replies. 10. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as ``Re: ''. If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. 11. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), please fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as ``HELP!!??''), change the subject line to (say) ``Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)''. That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

But I figure, what the heck...I'll add my 2 cents to the pot and maybe someone can cash in on a car or boat or something. It basically comes down to one decision. Do you want to do it or not? If you like the ease of use of Windows, and don't want to spend the time and effort to learn a new OS, then stick with what you know. Personally, I do most of my day to day stuff on a Winbox. Why? Because it IS easier, in my opinion. Do I prefer Windows? No, I hate the thing and everything it stands for. But the fact of the matter is that I use it for what it's intended. But, if you want to broaden your horizons then buck it up and do it. Don't expect everything be easy...could you learn Russian or Chinese in a day, let alone a few hours? Excuse the Tom Hanks impression, but UNIX is not supposed to be easy. If it was easy then everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it good. ( or maybe that's just me being a control-freak again ). Is RTFM a prerequisite for new UNIX users? If they want to get anything out of me it is, and I'm generally a nice guy. I think most people feel the same way. If you've been monkey-trained to point and click, and you are looking for a starting place, then master what you know: learn dos inside and out, network functions, telnet, FTP, hosts, lmhosts, establish a general knowledge of networking, write some batch files, mess around with autoexec.bat and config.sys, learn a programming language ( VB does not count ). It will make the transition a lot easier. Then pickup a shell account and read a book on dos->unix command translations. There are probably more similarities than you imagine. Will a try-out version of FBSD work...who knows? If it helps build better users, then I'm all for it. If it creates a overpopulated group of quiters who whine and moan, then I think I could do w/o. IMHO, I think it may provide people who think they are interested a chance to make a better decision without us all having to listen to them and ourselves discussing what we've all heard a million times ( as I know this is not new information, so hold the hot stuff ). Last but not least, let's make a quick comparison. Let's say you just bought a brand new stick-shift Corvette. Then decided that you didn't want to deal with having to learn how to drive a car with a manual transmission. Would you complain to the manufacturers, that they made the car too difficult to drive? Or would you opt to drive another car, that's more suited to your driving preferences? Just a thought. FreeBSD Bob wrote: > > > I agree.

I'm having a small problem in that my box is 'not capable' of reverse DNS. I'm running v3.3. The university gave me the IP's of a couple of DNS servers which we have access to. If I log into those boxes and do an nslookup, it works both ways - name-->ip and ip-->name. Not so on my home box. I have both those DNS machines listed in /etc/rc.resolv, and even threw in an additional DNS I know is nearby (according to the dox that file maxes at 3 lines, correct?) The question - is there something that needs to be configured some place to enable reverse DNS? Odds are I need to provide additional information off my system - just let me know what it is :) Thanks in advance!!!! --John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 29 18:13:18 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from post.mail.nl.demon.net (post-10.mail.nl.demon.net [194.159.73.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3451214C88 for ; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 18:12:59 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from marc@oldserver.demon.nl) Received: from [212.238.105.241] (helo=propro) by post.mail.nl.demon.net with esmtp (Exim 2.02 #1) id 11hN4c-0001Ld-00; Sat, 30 Oct 1999 01:12:55 +0000 Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 03:12:33 +0200 (CEST) From: Marc Schneiders To: J McKitrick Cc: RCC , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: HELP !!!

Poof, you are locked out. Not so! This might be a problem in other Unixes, but in FreeBSD, you can always boot into single user mode, where sh is the default shell. In fact, without /usr (and such things as getty, named, and inetd), you will have little choice but to run in single user mode. (I'm not sure, but I believe that the system may automatically boot to single user mode if /usr fails fsck.) To manually fsck a damaged /usr, you would likewise have to enter single user mode. -- Graeme Tait - Echidna To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 29 21: 0:19 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from fw.wintelcom.net (ns1.wintelcom.net [209.1.153.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F1DEF14D4E for ; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 21:00:11 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bright@wintelcom.net) Received: from localhost (bright@localhost) by fw.wintelcom.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA08160; Fri, 29 Oct 1999 21:22:57 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 21:22:57 -0700 (PDT) From: Alfred Perlstein To: bunny Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: INFORMATION ON FREE BSD In-Reply-To: <005501bf2286$7a6a1d80$a00582cb@intel> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Sat, 30 Oct 1999, bunny wrote: > Sir, > My questions are as follows: > > Q1: How to check if the user is reading his/her mail? probably just by running 'ps' and grep'ing for 'pine' or whatever mail programs you have on your system. > Q2: My /var is showing 74% .

In a nutshell, overly friendly installation GUI's and configurators have a major flaw; they allow a user to activate a service without having the necessary understanding of how it fully works. I do understand the need for positive press, however 9/10 of the suggestions for these handholding installers evolve from the inability to install a web server, ftp, or mail server by reading what really is some very thorough documentation. The average Win user can't handle something as simple as a single mouseclick to disable Wingates, to enable the same group to install what amounts to a powerful network server platform is just foolishness. A user that in the end will be a competent *nix operator will need nothing but thorough documentation as a guide. I maintain that the countless hours of coding/troubleshooting for install interfaces could much better be applied to proofreading the documentation that exists and revising it to the n-th degree. A user with a real need for the operating system will then have all the proper tools at their disposal, and those that don't want to bother well hell they'll hire the rest of us eh? Nothing ever stops at the install, hide the details and troubleshooting turns into hmm seven MCSE's staying up all night I suppose ;-). ---signal-degradation---noise-increase-starts-here I just put FreeBSD on my system last week after over three years of nothing but the penguin here. I found the installation nothing but intuitive, almost too much so as I hurried and shot myself in the foot more than once already ;-). I got The Complete FreeBSD in the mail a few days later, a few hours of reading and there are now very few details of the basic needs that I haven't covered. I am LOVING the fact that there is far more for me to do manually to get my install personally adjusted, I was sorely out of practice and from running distros that so slickly package and cover things such as env variables etc. I was purely lazy. This installation is well earned and I will have a far better understanding of what is going on as a result. I am looking for my first junior level admin position, and if I hadn't run into FreeBSD first I would have fallen on my face in short order. As for ease of use, well my wife cannot tell the diff between running wmaker in this or the other OS, I have the drive to do the configuration, she's purely a desktop end user. Why should there be a release packaged so slickly that my wife could install it? All that would result would be all the questions about maintainence and customization as a direct result of infamiliariazation with the core of the OS. If a release ever evolves that is that dumbed down I can only hope it is a crippled non-server capable version strictly meant as a net appliance.

Rather than fiddle with RIP on every NT machine (the NT machines will advertise routes even though they have ip forwarding disabled!), their default routes are set to their own IP address and will take advantage of the proxy arp on the cisco routers. This is preferable in some ways over RIP since the exit point for traffic is weighted depending on ASN for each router and the NT machines will use the more appropriate router depending on the traffic. Correct me if I'm wrong (perhaps an ARP cache expiry issue might interfere), but it would bypass an inaccessible router much quicker that RIP's convergence time. I would like to set this up on the FreeBSD boxes as well, rather than using RIP to default to one router and having to take the extra hop across the router when the exit traffic is destined out the non-default gateway. I've tried to set it's default route to its own IP address like the NT boxes, but this doesn't seem to work. Is there another method of doing this?

A non-root user by default cannot mount a device. Search through the mailing list archives (http://www.FreeBSD.org/search/) and I'm sure you'll find some solutions to that question. The 2 that come to mind right now (w/o looking) are either configuring 'sudo', or setting up AMD (auto-mount). -Chris > -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Oct 30 7:14: 9 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ns.clientlogic.com (ns.clientlogic.com [207.51.66.75]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4F21614DC4 for ; Sat, 30 Oct 1999 07:14:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ChrisMic@clientlogic.com) Received: by site0s1 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) id ; Sat, 30 Oct 1999 10:14:08 -0400 Message-ID: <6C37EE640B78D2118D2F00A0C90FCB4401105D2E@site2s1> From: Christopher Michaels To: 'David Kurtzberg' Cc: "FreeBSD Questions (E-mail)" Subject: RE: changing ports install hard drive Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 10:17:21 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The previous 2 answers are all good, if you want to move all of /usr/local/ to the new drive.

This could have been about something else though, I just vaguely remember it was something CVS related. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Oct 30 13:28:53 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from scientia.demon.co.uk (scientia.demon.co.uk [212.228.14.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 38A3014D6D for ; Sat, 30 Oct 1999 13:27:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ben@scientia.demon.co.uk) Received: from strontium.scientia.demon.co.uk ([192.168.0.4] ident=exim) by scientia.demon.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 3.032 #1) id 11hak5-0007By-00; Sat, 30 Oct 1999 16:48:33 +0100 Received: (from ben) by strontium.scientia.demon.co.uk (Exim 3.032 #1) id 11hak4-0003G4-00; Sat, 30 Oct 1999 16:48:32 +0100 Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 16:48:32 +0100 From: Ben Smithurst To: Scott Worthington Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Location of vinum /var/tmp/vinum_history Message-ID: <19991030164832.A12516@strontium.scientia.demon.co.uk> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.6i In-Reply-To: Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Scott Worthington wrote: > Okay, I see that you can set the environment > variable VINUM_HISTORY to point to the > correct location of the file. > > How do you set an environment variable at boot > time?

The exports(5) page is subtle, to say the least. OK, as for the first line, /usr/X11R6 -alldirs 192.168.0.1 This is why it is failing. When speaking of types of mount specifications, the manpage says, "The second is to specify the pathname of the root of the filesys- tem followed by the -alldirs flag; this form allows the host(s) to mount at any point within the filesystem..." Notice that you can only use the _root_ of a filesystem with the -alldirs switch, subtle. If you have a typical installation, /usr is the root of the filesystem where /usr/X11R6 lies. You can either, /usr -alldirs 192.168.0.1 And export everything in /usr, or /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11R6/lib [ etc. ..] 192.168.0.1 And list all of the subdirs in /usr/X11R6 explicitly (and on one line!). As for the second line, /var/tmp -rw 192.168.0.1 There simply is no '-rw' option. Mounts are read-write by default. You must specify '-ro' to make them read-only. Hope that helps. -- Crist J.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings, I am about to be using ADSL as my primary connection from home to my production environment and want to be able to setup a VPN of sorts between the home box and the working static network. ADSL as provided by the telco is DHCP only. What I'd like to be able to do is establish the lease duration sa given by the telco when I connect, and ship this as a TTL with the IP assigned to my nameserver, register that in the name tables, restart the nameservice and voila! I'm a member of my named space. Am I insane? Is there any clearly foreseeable flaw? Any pointers?

Assuming you were using FreeBSD before, probably this would be enough: - copy the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd files from old system to new - run pwd_mkdb - tar up the home directories, mail spools, crontabs, and (if you want) temporary files on the old system - untar them on the new system If you do the last step before the first, the untarred files will probably end up owned by root.wheel. __ Trevor Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Oct 30 21:14:33 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from iohost.com (io001.iohost.com [209.189.124.99]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 22BDA14DFE for ; Sat, 30 Oct 1999 21:14:26 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from randyk@ccsales.com) Received: from rknt2 (w146.z206111055.lax-ca.dsl.cnc.net [206.111.55.146]) by iohost.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id VAA16596 for ; Sat, 30 Oct 1999 21:25:11 -0700 Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19991030211541.0418bb50@ccsales.com> X-Sender: randyk@ccsales.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 21:15:41 -0700 To: questions@freebsd.org From: "Randy A.

I cannot guarantee the correct operation of the psm driver if you use a console switch. There have been quite a number of console switch products and some of them are so dumb that they cut power when you switch between computers, others claim that they are clever enough to "emulate" MS IntelliMouse when they, in fact, always bogusly answer that your mouse is IntelliMouse, but does nothing to make it look like the one when passing mouse data to the host computer. [...] >But there doesn't appear to have been any resolution to the problem, or at >least none posted publicly... If you have a good old 2-button or 3-button Logitech Mouseman without a wheel, you may have better chance of using it with the console switch, provided that your console switch does not try to be half-smart. Because the Mouseman does not require wacky initialization or strange data format, there is a possibility that the console switch won't wreack a havoc. IntelliMouse uses a special initialization sequence and proprietary data format. Apparently the psm driver got confused about it when you switched between two computers using this particular console switch. You can use the flags 0x20 for the psm driver. This flag will direct the psm driver not to use any special initialization sequence and treat any PS/2 mouse as the standard 2- or 3-button mouse. Mouseman should behave like an ordinary 3-button mouse. IntelliMouse will look like a 2-button mouse; its wheel won't work and cannot be used as the middle button, though. device psm0 at isa? tty irq 12 flags 0x20 With this flag, the any mouse should work... >I've used FreeBSD/X with a switch before, but with older kernels, and have >never seen this... It depends on the console switch... This one must have been rather a harmless one.

But when I boot next time all parameters are lost. Can I give these parameters to some file in loader.conf or kernel.conf? and if Yes how is th format.

If you can help me I'd be glad Yours Thomas Hofmann To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
