This is not a problem, since the BIOS usually has initialized the device, it's only telling that FreeBSD doesn't provide any handling of its own for it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 1 06:44:04 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id GAA22684 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 1 Jan 1996 06:44:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from omega.physik.fu-berlin.de (omega.physik.fu-berlin.de [130.133.3.51]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA22664 for ; Mon, 1 Jan 1996 06:44:00 -0800 (PST) Received: from mordillo (oberon.physik.fu-berlin.de [130.133.3.126]) by omega.physik.fu-berlin.de (8.7.1/8.7.1) with ESMTP id PAA20337; Mon, 1 Jan 1996 15:43:51 +0100 (MET) Received: (from graichen@localhost) by mordillo (8.6.12/8.6.12) id PAA00517; Mon, 1 Jan 1996 15:18:43 +0100 From: Thomas Graichen Message-Id: <199601011418.PAA00517@mordillo> Subject: Re: gcc and libg version in 2.1?

The more paranoid among us will be even more cautious: you don't want people gaining a comprehensive listing of users on your system as easily as downloading the pwd.db file. I do something similar but with a twist: 3. Copy the new pwd.db and group files into ~ftp/etc, and make them both mode 0440. Change owner to "root.daemon". 4. Copy /bin/ls into ~ftp/bin. Change owner to "root.daemon", and change the mode to 2111... Now nobody can access your pwd.db or group files, but ls can, because it is a member of the appropriate group... I know this may seem overly paranoid to people, but you never know what tricks someone might use to gain access to your system, and the lower your profile, the safer you may be... ...

Install support for 4mb comes and goes :-) I used a larger pc at work to build a custom kernel for my 4mb machine at home. If you prune the stuff you don't need there is enough room for about 2.7mb of useable memory on a 4mb machine.

Could this be that your modem is not dealing with a 1200 baud signal from your serial port? Try changing the 'set speed' line in your ppp.conf.

Specifically: The message occurs when trying to add the route corresponding to a new interface address. One of the steps in adding the route is to use the interface address table to figure out which interface the route should be marked for use with. The message indicates that this calculation came up with a different answer than the interface that is supposed to be represented in the first place, so something is inconsistent in your configuration. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

I was running into the above problem last week with ppp. I found the source of the error message and changed my /etc/hosts table; and my /etc/sysconfig file as well.

Thanks for the advice. I put in the changes, though they haven't done anything for the "SIOCAIFADDR" or "wrong ifa" problems, worse luck. Do you -- or does anyone -- happen to know the exact setup to use with iij-ppp where addresses on both side are dynamically assigned? (This must be quite common, I would have thought.) Everything always works OK for the first session. But unfortunately neither 'route delete' nor 'route flush' set everything back to the same state as before a connection was made. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 1 15:48:43 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA16828 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 1 Jan 1996 15:48:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from zork.tiac.net (zork.tiac.net [199.0.65.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA16822 for ; Mon, 1 Jan 1996 15:48:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from momcat.swaa.com (tarbet.tiac.net [199.3.140.106]) by zork.tiac.net (8.6.9/8.6.6.Beta9) with SMTP id SAA21092; Mon, 1 Jan 1996 18:50:06 -0500 Message-ID: Priority: Normal To: fbsd MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Margaret Tarbet Subject: 2.1 install problem Date: Mon, 01 Jan 96 18:52:23 EST Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; X-MAPIextension=".TXT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi... Got my copy of the 2.1 cd and tried to install it on my dev machine. Didn't work. The (novice) install appeared to go successfully, but my dos boot block was clobbered without obviously being replaced by the bsd boot. After i fixed the boot block so that dos would run again, i tried the install again, same result. In both cases, because i want to use System Commander to manage the boot selection, i chose to have a simple boot block installed rather than the bsd boot manager. That shouldn't be significant, but y'never know. My system has an AIR 486/66 EISA/VLB mamaboard with 32Mb of 60ns, 256K cache, and an Adaptec 2742 SCSI card with 2x 1Gb Micropolises (devs 0 and 1), 2x 1GB Fujitsus (devs 2 and 3), an old 200Mb Connor (dev 4), a Archive Viper 250Mb tape drive (dev 5) (what makes that a "known rogue" btw?), and hanging off the back of the bus, a NEC 3x cdrom (dev 6). Device 0 has DOS 6.2.2 and Unixware 2.0, managed by System Commander. Device 1 continues with an extended DOS part and a Unixware part. Device 2 has an extended DOS part in the front half, and the back half is where i attempted to install fbsd. Device 3 is dedicated to DOS, and device 4 to Unixware. Far's i can tell, source to the installer isn't included so i'm pretty much on the beach with this. Any ideas? This next bit is an offer of help rather than the foregoing request for same, so it might just confuse things here, in which case i hope someone will say so i can send it on to a better address: I'd like to help with the project, if there's any perceived need for my field of expertise which is product usability/human factors/ergonomics/whatever. Unlike most folk in this field, i'm also a techie, tho as you might suppose i prefer working up at the human end of the food chain rather than at the kernal-and-device-driver level. I was moved to volunteer by the problems i still had with the install even tho it has clearly had a large amount of good energy and thought go into it. Two quick examples: selecting an exclusive option (e.g., which device to install to) requires two steps (arrow-keying to the right line, pressing space). But it is quite easy (as i myself discovered!) to make the move and then hit return...which doesn't alter the existing selection even tho it "feels" as tho it should. Which brings up the second example: there's no clean way to recover from such a mistake. It is possible to recover by patiently defaulting through the rest of the choices and then re-starting from scratch, but it would be quite nice not to have to do that. Let me know if it feels like my sort of expertise might be welcome. regards, =margaret From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 1 16:09:48 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA17268 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 1 Jan 1996 16:09:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from hda.com (hda.com [199.232.40.182]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA17263 for ; Mon, 1 Jan 1996 16:09:43 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dufault@localhost) by hda.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id TAA28569; Mon, 1 Jan 1996 19:24:07 -0500 From: Peter Dufault Message-Id: <199601020024.TAA28569@hda.com> Subject: Re: CD interface To: dglo@SSEC.WISC.EDU (Dave Glowacki) Date: Mon, 1 Jan 1996 19:24:07 -0500 (EST) Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199601012217.QAA19302@tick.SSEC.WISC.EDU> from "Dave Glowacki" at Jan 1, 96 04:17:01 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > > I'm trying to bring up xmcd on FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE.

It is; you shouldn't be installing any bootblock at all, as it will override your current (I presume "System Commander") bootblock, which is not what you want. > Micropolises (devs 0 and 1), 2x 1GB Fujitsus (devs 2 and Micropoli? 8) > 3), an old 200Mb Connor (dev 4), a Archive Viper 250Mb tape > drive (dev 5) (what makes that a "known rogue" btw?), and It deviates from the SCSI spec, requiring special handling. > Device 0 has DOS 6.2.2 and Unixware 2.0, managed by System > Commander.

Unless you have a hoopy BIOS here, you're SOL; booting from anything other than the first two disks is more or less impossible under the PC-AT BIOS model. If you shrink the DOS partition on the first disk by about 50M you can put a BSD root filesystem there and then mount from the third. > Far's i can tell, source to the installer isn't included so > i'm pretty much on the beach with this.

If you're running 2.1, just edit /etc/sysconfig and change the gateway line from NO to YES. For earlier versions, there's a sysctl command - 'man sysctl' will give the details.

Unless you're really desperate for it, it might be better to wait until things have settled down a bit and the first snapshot comes out. I've thought a bit about getting involved with -current, but it looks like a lot of work even getting started, not to mention the risk of running alpha (or even pre-alpha) code on a machine that I need for other things, and I don't really have the time (or the backups!) for it. Also I'm stuck with a 14.4k modem, on the wrong side of the Atlantic. One day, perhaps. On the other hand, if you do have the time and the inclination, you seem to know what you're letting yourself in for, so why not go for it!

There's a known (now) bug in the 2.1 sysinstall that may trash the bootblock on the first disk when installing to the second. You will want to get a copy of the bootinst.exe and boot.bin files off the CD and use bootinst to write boot.bin (the BootEasy bootmanager) to the first disk. You can replace booteasy at a later date with a 'standard' MBR after this works. > Would anyone know what "no rom basic" means and how I can fix this? It means that the BIOS has searched for a bootable disk and not found one. About fifteen years ago, the original PCs had BASIC in ROM (IBM and close compactibles only) and if they had no boot disk, would start the (braindead) ROM BASIC. Less close compatibles would search for the BASIC ROM and emit the above error message (in 40x25 text mode) if they couldn't find it. The existence of the message in this day and age is either a joke on the part of the BIOS authors, or an attempt at "maximum" compatability. > Annelise -- ]] 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 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

I'd guess that you're going to have a very hard time with this combination, depending on what your BIOS does with the second IDE disk.

I'm new at this mail routing stuff. I run a BBS with dailup UUCP mail (userid@domain.org) currently. Recently I have got a Class C address and 56k leased line. I plan to put both the BBS and my Web server/DNS (FreeBSD) onto the net via my router as gateway and forget about UUCP! I have to assign the nodename for the BBS to bbs.domain.org and the nodename for the Web server to www.domain.org. How do I configure sendmail.cf and/or DNS MX record so that my users on the BBS will _NOT_ require to change their email from userid@domain.org to userid@bbs.domain.org? Or in other words, all I need here is to correctly route incoming mails for userid@domain.org to the BBS while mails for userid@www.domain.org to the Web Server? Both the BBS and the Web Server runs SMTP. Thanks in advance.

Usually people want to display the usernames in order to provide an easy to see correlation between a file and which archive maintainer installed it... My technique at least minimizes the chances of somebody finding out complete lists of semi-useful information about users (i.e. what users there are), and also protects more subtle very-useful information about things like assigned UID's (think: "someone pulling tricks with NFS"). First rule of security, the less they know, the safer you are. ...

The documentation does not indicate that EACCESS is a valid return value for ioctl. My hackaround was this: at line 263 of /sys/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c, add an #ifndef.... #ifndef XMCDKLUDGE if (cmd != SCIOCIDENTIFY && !(flags & FWRITE)) return EACCES; #endif /* XMCDKLUDGE */ and, obviously include options XMCDKLUDGE in your kernel config file. The "correct" way to fix this is not to hack the kernel but to recompile xmcd so that it doesn't mount the cd read-only; but I don't have motif sources so that's not an option. Note that the xmcd package -WILL NOT WORK ON 2.1 SYSTEMS- as distributed, because of this. Why is scsi_ioctl.c returning EACCESS in this case? Is there a rationale for it?

That shouldn't be significant, but y'never know. OK, then, you DON'T want to even *touch* the MBR, so make that selection. Then configure syscommander with your new bsd partition. You might try booting using the install floppy and giving the path to the new disk, ie boot: sd0(0,a)/kernel or whatever is appropriate.

Unfortunately, it appears that 'ppp.linkup' isn't functioning...I have a bunch of annoying routes and try to delete them wiht it and nothing happens. I end up su'ing to root, running a script to delete them, then adding a default route for the connection. For example, this is what I get just after connecting: gdi# netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 0 lo0 128.223.150.166 128.223.150.182 UH 6 0 tun0 So I enter 'route add default 128.223.150.166' and all is well. > Everything always works OK for the first session.

The mouse is a bus mouse that plugs into an ATI Mach 32 Graphics Ultra Pro card. Start-up messages include mse0 at 0x23c irq 5 on isa. I've tried various mouse protocols in XF86Config (MouseMan, Busmouse, Microsoft). /dev/mouse is linked to mse0. I'm not sure this mouse is really using irq 5; IRQ 5 is used, I think, by the sound-blaster emulation part of the ProAudio Spectrum card. I tried booting with kernel -c and putting mse0 on irq 4. Then I get a message that mse0 is not probed because of a conflict with sio0. A serial mouse, protocol Microsoft, device /dev/ttyd0, on sio0, works, but I'd rather just have one rodent on the desk. 2) The computer hangs up if I try to get a listing of configured devices with lsdev and at some other odd times. 3) The computer does not reboot with /sbin/shutdown -r now. It syncs disks and hangs, requiring a hard reboot. 4) When I try to mount the floppy drives (/sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt) I get a message that the device is not configured. Start-up messages indicate that the floppy disk controller is found (fdc0 at 0x3f0-0xdf7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa) but no other messages; all the floppy devices are listed in /dev. The controller is a GSI 11 configured as the primary floppy disk controller. One solved problem--slip seems rather difficult to configure for negotiating IP addresses dynamically, but dip (Dial Internet Provider?) works quite easily. A new port in 2.1, I think. Very nice.

I have a IDE cdrom, which if I understand the installation notes correctly, is not supported by freebsd. I also have a conner tape back up connected to my floppy drive. Can I install from the tape back up (given of course that I copy all the files from the cdrom to the tapes, which I've done)? I copied the minimum directory to my partition which I hope to install freebsd on. At one point I tried to install from the hard drive, but was unsuccessful. I had created a boot disk and was attempting to use the installation utility off the boot disk. I suspect that I hadn't correctly assigned the intended partition, or that the extended logical drive was unmountable. This is all new to me and I am stumbling around in the dark, nes pa! Anyway, when I was asked by the utility to input the path for the previous minimum install, it wasn't recognized. Currently I have Win95 and OS2warp on my system with a 'os2warp' created boot manager which allows me to choose at start up which os I desire. If this isn't all messy enough, let me add a note regarding my confussion about the potential problems surrounding my computers hardware address's. As I mentioned earlier, I've been using the boot disk utility. When I boot from it, the disk looks at my system and displays a list of what it finds and what it can not. Question: Without the address's resolved prior to installation will an attempted installation of freebsd screw up the currently installed operating systems. Is the worst that could happen is that I would have to re-install anew Win95 and os2? Does the installation of FreeBsd change the internal addressing system? Does my question reveal my ignorance of computer hardware? Last question: Have you heard of the software utility called "System Commander 2.1" by V Communications?

I have a IDE cdrom, which if I understand the installation notes correctly, is not supported by freebsd. I also have a conner tape back up connected to my floppy drive. Can I install from the tape back up (given of course that I copy all the files from the cdrom to the tapes, which I've done)? I copied the minimum directory to my partition which I hope to install freebsd on. At one point I tried to install from the hard drive, but was unsuccessful. I had created a boot disk and was attempting to use the installation utility off the boot disk. I suspect that I hadn't correctly assigned the intended partition, or that the extended logical drive was unmountable. This is all new to me and I am stumbling around in the dark, nes pa! Anyway, when I was asked by the utility to input the path for the previous minimum install, it wasn't recognized. Currently I have Win95 and OS2warp on my system with a 'os2warp' created boot manager which allows me to choose at start up which os I desire. If this isn't all messy enough, let me add a note regarding my confussion about the potential problems surrounding my computers hardware address's. As I mentioned earlier, I've been using the boot disk utility. When I boot from it, the disk looks at my system and displays a list of what it finds and what it can not. Question: Without the address's resolved prior to installation will an attempted installation of freebsd screw up the currently installed operating systems. Is the worst that could happen is that I would have to re-install anew Win95 and os2? Does the installation of FreeBsd change the internal addressing system? Does my question reveal my ignorance of computer hardware? Last question: Have you heard of the software utility called "System Commander 2.1" by V Communications? Supposedly it assist's the user in setting up multiple operating systems on one hard drive. Any feed back will be appreciated, unless you laugh hysterically at my query.

Does my question reveal my ignorance of computer hardware? It really depends. I have a similar configuration, using Boot Manager between a OS/2, DOS, and FreeBSD partitions. Because I have an extended partition, however, my slice table is at the max of 4, so I could not add another operating system. I think you're OK, just as long as you don't have two DOS primary partitions. Using BM you can install fbsd on a second disk, and have BM recognize it.

I use this exact utilitiy. Works GREAT with FreeBSD, MS-DOS 5.1 and Novell DOS 7. Much nicer interface than booteasy.

My main questions are : 1) The kernel config has a line like : pseudo-device pty 16 #Pseudo ttys - can go as high as 64 what if I want to use 256? I decided to experiment and I made 160 pty devices (using /dev/MAKEDEV pty{0,1,2,3,4}) and added the appropriate entries to /etc/ttys. I restarted init and tried to use the new ptys (I have an expect script that kicks off a bunch of outgoing telnet sessions) - it failed after 14. So I made a new kernel with 'pseudo-device pty 160', and 'config' made a pty.h file that contained : #define NPTY 1606 I went ahead and made the new kernel, and installed it - it runs and I am now able to use all of my pty entries. So far, so good. But I am concerned about the weird pty.h file and I'm wondering about the comment in the kernel config file - what is the 64 limit? BTW, this same comment is made in the FreeBSD Handbook section on the pseudo-device 'pty'. What am I doing wrong here? 2) The MAKEDEV script has the following comment : # This still leaves [tuTU]. Do I just have to add the t,u,T,U pieces to the script to use these ptys or is the support for these 'extra' pty devices in the code ? I hope these questions aren't too stupid, but can anyone help me see the light?

We're always happy to improve... OK, Here is how the Linux boot loader works (I did not write so I am giving you only a functional description, you can check out the details at www.linux.org under Howto section under LILO. Linux uses a boot loader called LILO. LILO may use the MBR. It uses a file callled /etc/lilo.conf. In this file you specify which image to boot from where and it also uses a map of the disk drives. You run lilo, it installs the boot loader then you are ready to go. In FREEBSD , as far as I know there is no easy way to install a boot loader from FreeBSD itself, or at least I could not find it. Moreover the Booteasy program is not exactly configurable and it can not boot from a SCSI disk when IDE is present. Now I found this program called os-bs on the Walnut Creek CDROM and that was able to boot from a SCSI disk provided that the SCSI disk is visble from DOS at the initial installation. The only bummer with this set up was the fact that the bootstrap code kept on referring to the scsi drive as sd(2,a) which was clearly wrong. It should have been hd(2,a) the third hard drive or sd(0,a). IN either case to go around this I hard wired th
