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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Its called something like ncpfs. Are there any plans to get something like this into FreeBSD? or is there any way to use this under FreeBSD?

Your default gateway (to the internet) will be 192.100.1.1 and your gateway to the 2 net will be 192.100.1.2. So: route add default 192.100.1.1 route add -net 192.100.2.0 192.100.1.2 Paul. -- Paul T.

Taking another tack at the question: could these crashes be the result of having two PCI SCSI controllers in a fairly old (Oct 1994) 486DX2-66 PCI GW2K? Perhaps the PCI SCSI controllers are hogging the PCI bus and not giving the PCI IDE disk controller enough bandwidth? The system is crashing only during expires. INN was built with ACT_STYLE READ.
