It is not free though, will cost you around $700 (I think). Their good PPC code is not native. Their native PPC code does not do memory protection. Both rely on the MacOS to "do their thing", and are thus drastically slower than they need to be. They are hosted OS's, not native OS's. Apple will not part with enough information about their hardware to allow a native port to take place. There will be a BSD for CHRP machines, assuming Apple doesn't pull a "standard, with extensions", making it impossible to write drivers without non-disclosure (the problem with the current PowerMac's). If that happens there will be a BSD for non-Apple CHRP machines (IBM, Motorolla, etc.). For the 68k Mac's with MMU, there is NetBSD. Apparently, the '040 MMU is lacking 4 instructions from the '030/6888x MMU that make it hard to port to. If you have an '020 + MMU or an '0303, it should run as long as you are pretty basic on your video hardware. See www.netbsd.org.

Then reboot, and (as root) cd to /dev and run "./MAKEDEV bpf" to create the devices. Then everything should work.

The machine in question is part of a firewall, and sendmail needs to rewrite addresses on the way out, and forward mail to other machines on the way in. The O'Reilly book isn't much help to me at the moment, since the rulesets are different. Perhaps someone has done this before and can offer wisdom. The symptoms? Hundreds of them. Lets see, well mail is returned before being forwarded into the interior network (user unknown). I don't want aliases for accounts on this machine, just dump the mail to someone more knowledgeable. Having that working would make me feel much better. Next, I'm having trouble rewriting the addresses on the way out. I'm thinking ruleset 31 here, perhaps: R$+@R+ $1@$w or something close. But the address either doesn't get rewritten, or gets changed into something silly (two domains for example). I've been at this for a while, so I can't remember what I did there. Can somebody offer some suggestions? Feel free to mail to this account, its in another domain :-) Jon Doran From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 26 18:27:55 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id SAA21168 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 26 Nov 1995 18:27:55 -0800 Received: from fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu (Fieber-John.campusview.indiana.edu [149.159.1.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id SAA21163 for ; Sun, 26 Nov 1995 18:27:50 -0800 Received: (from jfieber@localhost) by fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id VAA06813; Sun, 26 Nov 1995 21:27:21 -0500 Date: Sun, 26 Nov 1995 21:27:20 -0500 (EST) From: John Fieber X-Sender: jfieber@fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu To: Postmaster@fang.dragon.com cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FW: Returned mail In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, 24 Nov 1995 Postmaster@fang.dragon.com wrote: > Anyone know of any BBS software for FreeBSD?????

I'm using version 2.1 of the operating system. I followed the instructions given in section 11 of the handbook, read manpages on ppp, route, routed and ifconfig and still can't get the interface to operated. For starters my ISP doesn't use a login prompt for starting ppp. According to him all I should have to do is pass my username and password using pap and I should then be connected. Of course this doesn't work, by setting my authname and authkey. Also after about 3 minutes or so I get message stating "route[49]: deleting route to to interface tun0 (timed out)". As the system is coming up it shows the tun0 interface as 'tun0: flags=8051'. I was also reading thru an O'Reilly book, tcp/ip network admin, I thought not having a default gateway using the tun0 was my problem, but route will not allow me to create one. Ok.... is there anything obvious i'm doing wrong, and how can i stop route from timing out tun0. thanks.... -- =====================-----------=====================---------================ Joe Campbell jcampb@cixs.org ====================------------=====================---------================ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 26 21:39:10 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id VAA04464 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 26 Nov 1995 21:39:10 -0800 Received: from koala.scott.net (root@koala.scott.net [204.181.147.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id VAA04454 for ; Sun, 26 Nov 1995 21:38:58 -0800 Received: from dialup81.scott.net (dialup81.scott.net [205.241.3.81]) by koala.scott.net (8.6.10/8.6.9) with SMTP id XAA22169 for ; Sun, 26 Nov 1995 23:38:47 -0600 Message-Id: <199511270538.XAA22169@koala.scott.net> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Jason Gilbert" To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 26 Nov 1995 23:38:49 +0000 Subject: 2.1 Installation / Boot Manager Reply-to: jason@homewood.net X-Confirm-Reading-To: jason@homewood.net X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.22) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just finished installing 2.1 over the internet using PPP. Very interesting. I had just gotten a new 1Gig Western Digital harddrive and chose to partition the whole drive to Freebsd. I also have another drive which runs dos/win that is designated as the master drive. In the installation program I chose to install the Boot manager but never saw anything else about it. when I reboot the system without a disk in the floppy drive, the system goes through the normal BIOS etc. and then outputs two lines about c: and d: harddrives installed (not verbatim). After that, the light on the floppy drive comes on and nothing else happens. I can however boot using the boot.flp and then at the boot: prompt typing wd(1,a)/kernel. This seems to boot the system and things work. My long question turns out to be; Where is the boot manager? Also, can I run the installation program on boot.flp again without corrupting the files already on the drive? I greatly appreciate any help.

From your favorite FreeBSD FTP site, in the tools directory for 2.1, grab the 'bootinst' and 'boot.bin' files. Make a full backup of your DOS system (or at least have handy a tool for resurrecting your MBR if things go wrong). Under DOS, booted from your harddisk, run the 'bootinst' program, and let it install the boot.bin file on your first harddisk. This should work OK. > Also, can I run the installation program on boot.flp again without > corrupting the files already on the drive? That depends on what you do with it.

It's partitioned as follows: partition 0 (DOS) 450M partition 1 (BSD) 549M partition 2 (SWAP) 33M The BIOS calculations are as follows: cylinders=525 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 blks/cyl) Any ideas?

If you read this mail, man-pages /usr/share/man and /usr/X11R6 should be up to date, but /usr/local/man wants some time to collect it. For -current, it must be installed on a server with according sources, so I cannot do it. If somebody want, he can get my programs for creating indices of man-pages (it can handle ASCII, HTML and NROFF) and querying it. It creates quite compact indices (DB-format) (e.g. 2 MB for /usr/share/man) but wants a lot of memory for creating indices (> 30 MB) and is written in Perl 5. The index reader is fast and uses few memory.

I just wiped out my system and started over this past weekend. On a 814MB IDE hard drive I created a 200MB FAT (For windows95) partition, a 1MB OS/2 Boot Manager Partition, and a 200MB FAT (OS/2 Warp) partition. The remaining 413MB is free space on the 814MB IDE H.D. In addition I have two 85MB SCSI HDs unallocated. At this point I wanted to load freeBSD 2.0.5r back on my system; but use the OS/2 boot manager to start FreeBSD. This is what I tried: I created a primary 25MB partition on the first 85MB SCSI HD using OS/2s fdisk program. I added this partition to the OS/2 boot manager then rebooted with a FreeBSD boot disk. With FreeBSD I removed the partition OS/2 created and created a new FreeBSD partition of the same size. I created a 413MB partition of the remaining space on the IDE drive, and created 5 smaller partitions of the remaining space on the 2 SCSI drives. After I labled the dirves I had this setup: IDE: 200MB FAT 1MB BOOT MANAGER 200MB FAT 413MB <- /usr SCSI 1: 25MB <- / (OS/2 Boot Manager knows this one) 20MB <- /tmp 20MB <- /var 20MB <- swap SCSI 2: 40MB <- /users (Sorry worked on HPs too long) 65MB <- swap At this point I committed my choices to the CD ROM install program and the system began to install. There were know problems during the installation process. When I rebooted I received the OS/2 boot manager screen with the FreeBSD option I had setup. I selected FreeBSD and received the FreeBSD boot prompt. Pressed enter to take the defaults and it took off. I received all the normal systems polls; but when the polls were complete and the system tries to start mounting the filesystems I was presented the message 'Panic cannot mount root' and the system reboots. I did not provide all the Hardware specifics because I do not think this is a hardware issue. If anything, I missed a step or this is not a possible solution. If you need further info let me know. And if all else fails, I will blow away the OS/2 boot manager and use booteasy. #==================================================================# # Christopher S.

I do not quite understand, what you want to do (all my US-ASCII keyboards don't have an 'erase' key), but perhaps the following example of two example entries to /usr/share/misc/keycap.pcvt might illustrate the way to go: x1|BS1|map backspace key to (0x7f), SHIFT-BS and CTRL-BS to (0x08) :\ :K15=\177:S15=\010:C15=\010: x2|BS2|map backspace key to (0x08), SHIFT-BS and CTRL-BS to (0x7f) :\ :K15=\010:S15=\177:C15=\177: > but I can't find anywhere > a mapping between physical positions on a standard (IBM) style keyboard > and the codes that it issues.

Some years ago, when the keyboards where quite a bit more expensive than today, one could get sort of a technical reference manual with all the machines (i have a good graphical representation from an HP Vectra tech ref manual and from a Kyocera tech ref manual and several more) that were sold. A not so good representation can be found in: The Programmers PC Source Book, by Tom Hogan, Microsoft Press (mine is 2nd ed. 1991) on page 7-18 and 7-19. > Such a mapping table seems to be a glaring omission for a utility that is > intended to support mapping.

Okay okay... my bad. I did a reboot and now everything works fine. Tkined seems to work fine, even. Any tkined users out there? I've had trouble with this shared library stuff before. What is the proper thing to do when installing something that creates a new shared lib? I thought running ldconfig on the directory was supposed to make everything ship-shape. I always end up rebooting, which seems a bit drastic.

I am on the 204.95.57.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 - see ifconfig ed0 below. my ppp server is 204.95.57.17 - output of netstat -r and ifconfig ed0 can be seen below. when client 204.95.57.117 (.117 in this text) dials up and establishes a connection everything is fine - until the connection hangs up. let's say the client didn't close his telnet session to 204.95.57.17. well, ppp0 interface (which .117 used) went down... but check this out... when I do netstat -r -n, I *STILL* see route to .117 via ed0!!!!!!! obviously, my ed0 is 204.95.56.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 - therefore a host 204.95.57.117 will be routed via ed0. what I need is a way to setup gated to KNOW that when the interface doesn't reply from ethernet, that it should remove it's entry from the routing tables. ed0 is obviously a replicating interface (address replication right?) and it probably inserts the route in the kernel tables. the question is - how do I fix this? I want gated to report "destination unreachable" for all hosts on 204.95.57.0 that it can not reach. (and not let the kernel automaticlally replicate the route) please respond directly to malenovi@cview.com thank you Nik netstat -r/ifconfig ed0 output: Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 127 127.0.0.1 URc 0 0 lo0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 4 lo0 204.95.57 link#1 UC 0 0 204.95.57.17 0:0:b4:68:77:52 UHLW 3 32594 lo0 204.95.57.97 204.95.57.97 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.98 204.95.57.98 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.99 204.95.57.99 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.100 204.95.57.100 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.101 204.95.57.101 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.102 204.95.57.102 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.103 204.95.57.103 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.104 204.95.57.104 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.105 204.95.57.105 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.106 204.95.57.106 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.107 204.95.57.107 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.108 204.95.57.108 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.109 204.95.57.109 UH 0 0 lo0 204.95.57.116 link#1 UHLW 2 2 204.95.57.255 link#1 UHLW 1 1803 224 link#1 UCS 0 0 224.0.0.9 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 ed0: flags=8863 mtu 1500 inet 204.95.57.17 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 204.95.57.255 From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 27 14:11:50 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id OAA03571 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 27 Nov 1995 14:11:50 -0800 Received: from alpha.dsu.edu (ghelmer@alpha.dsu.edu [138.247.32.12]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id OAA03565 for ; Mon, 27 Nov 1995 14:11:44 -0800 Received: (from ghelmer@localhost) by alpha.dsu.edu (8.7.1/8.7.1) id QAA10374; Mon, 27 Nov 1995 16:11:39 -0600 (CST) Date: Mon, 27 Nov 1995 16:11:38 -0600 (CST) From: Guy Helmer To: Raul Zighelboim cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Secure ftp under FreeBSD...

Yes, getgrent(3) and friends use a fixed-size buffer (1024 bytes, I believe) to read and parse the lines in /etc/group. This problem was recently discussed on the alpha-osf-managers list; one hack to overcome this limitation was to split the group members over multiple lines but using the same GID, like: group:678:*:lots,of,members group1:678:*:more,members Unfortunately, it's not a general solution (due to the different group names for each line), but it may work for you... > Raul Zighelboim e-mail: mango@communique.net > Communique Inc.

In other words, assuming proper installation already done, what is better over a leased line (so excluding automatic dial-up, ease of configuration and so on...)

I've set up a FreeBSD 2.05R machine acting as a dial-up gateway to the Internet for my LAN. I'm using ppp (ijppp 0.94) in auto mode to connect to my ISP, and I've noticed a strange behaviour: when I send out packets at full line speed (V34 modem on a 38400bps 16550) for more than just a few seconds, ppp hangs. I haven't got any problem receiving at full band. The easiest way to produce this locking is to try to 'ftp put' a 300-500KB file on my ISP's server, or to send them a large mail attachment. Given the fast response from the remote end, the modem has its TX led always lit, and TR led blinking, as it periodically pauses the PC from sending data: then, suddenly the modem hangs up, and ppp never tries to restore the connection (as it would on transient line drop.) Even if I try to trigger a dial event from another console, nothing happens. Only way out, 'kill -TERM' ppp process and restart it. Do you think this may depend on bad configuration of the SIO chip? It's correctly probed as 16550 at boot: is there something special to do to enable the FIFO queue? I have LQR disable & LQR deny in my ppp.conf: do you think this can be a problem? I attach some data to help you diagnose my problem. Thanks for any help Angelo.

Seems to me that it's a bug in 'more' for it to continue past EOF without a pause in the presence of ti/te entries that cause the screen to be cleared. I don't know how it would be able to tell that the ti/te entries clear the screen. Maybe 'more' should just have an option that causes it to always pause at EOF (like 'less'). This is cute...I'd gotten into the habit [on other platforms] of using 'more' when I DIDN'T want the ti/te stuff and 'less' when I DID want the ti/te - on FreeBSD they both use ti/te. Thanx!

A while ago, I purchased SWiM Motif 2.0 for FreeBSD from the ACC bookstore and, like you, all I received was a "cheesy" user manual for it. Sometime after that, I ordered SWiM Motif 2.0 for a FreeBSD machine at work. This time ACC screwed up and sent me the Linux version with CD-ROM (hmm, since I already had a copy of SWiM Motif 2.0 for FreeBSD, do I use that at work and keep the Linux version too?) The Linux version does not come with any documents other than the "cheesy" user manual. What you really want to get are the other OSF/Motif documents: OSF/Motif Style Guide OSF/Motif Programmer's Guide OSF/Motif Programmer's Reference OSF/Motif Widget Writer's Guide I recommend the Douglas Young book, the OSF/Motif Edition of "The X Window System Programming and Applications with XT", publisher Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-123803-5. He also has a similar book "Object-oriented Programming with C++ and OSF/Motif, which I just ordered. I order my books from ReadMe.Doc, which offers a standard %20 discount on all their books - even books they have to order.

Our question is......Is there a limit to the number of characters in a single line in the etc/group file?? We made another group ID # and it worked. However, we were wondering if there was a way to get all of these accounts in a single group? Also, for general knowledge, is there a command to count the number of characters in a line of standard input (Through piping, etc.) Finally, I was wondering if you could direct me in creating functions for sh scripts.

It has indeed been very useful. Now, here's my situation. I can boot my system again just fine from BSD or DOS. I have to use DOS' FDISK to switch active partitions, but it works. Now, I want to install a boot manager so that I can boot either one without FDISK. When I tried BOOTEASY, it did the right thing with the DOS drive, but did the wrong thing with the BSD disk (gave me a menu - even after I told it to boot FreeBSD, it just gave me another menu...8-). Are there other boot managers that do the right thing with two disks each with their own OS on them, or is there simply a good switch to send booteasy that wasn't evident from the info it came with?

You aren't missing any library. To get round US export restrictions, we ship crypt() in a separate library to make it easier to ship multiple versions.

You have two options: 1) Change the drive location do it is at 250, where the driver expects to find it. 2) Boot "kernel -c" at the boot prompt and change the configuration of the kernel for the dureation of the boot. After the install, boot "kerenl -c" from the hard drive, and change the configuration again. Modify the kernel configuration file to reflect the 240 location, rebuild the kernel, and install the new kernel. Rebbot normally. The drive should now be recognized.

I'm not sure. You will need to look at the doc for your machine. Anyway, I believe it is a standard controller in a package with an ethernet controller, so it's a matter of picking the right driver and telling it where the I/O, base, and DMA for the controller live.

It crashed the other day (I don't know how, somebody else did it and can't tell me anything about what messages they saw) and now whenever it comes up, login will die with a sig 11 and sometimes cron will as well while I am trying to log in. I can boot single user no problem but I don't really know what to do at that point. I did try a different kernel on the off chance it got hosed but that didn't change anything.

Personally, I only see it when the C/H/S value in the partition table, when multiplied by an incorrect geometry, doesn't give the correct absolute sector for the partition start. This used to happen when the BIOS geometry translation was incorrect. Now it happens when the BIOS geometry is forced to the Adaptec "standard" translation on older hardware, on non-linear BIOS_based trnslation (like WD1007 sector sparing), and so on. I'm not quire sure about the code with regard to a "boot-from-floppy, install onto an OnTrack 6.x using EIDE disk"; I don't own any IDE disks because I like my machines to work without hassles. But from the logic, I suspect that an installation of a boot manager at install time from a floppy install might toast things nicely as well.

(Yeah, you know the one). BUT, if you are running X, this narrows down the choices. IF you only want 640x480 monochrome, then any off-the-shelf VGA/SVGA card will do. But, if you want something more flashy (i.e. 256 or more colours, larger screen sizes than 640x480, etc.) that even further narrows down your choices. Your best bet is to consult the files that come with XFree86 or talk to the XFree86 mailing list (sorry, don't know it off-hand) or consult the XFree86 FAQ.

I thought this as well, but I didn't say it. 8-). A statically linked ls would be a good deal, and as long as all users were on the same drive, you could hard link it between their home directories. Kinda bogus if they can unlink it and replace it with a hard link to, for instance, /bin/sh. Actually, there is a mechanism for per process root search override based on the fdp in the proc struct. It's a little screwed up right now because the value is only initialized on a chroot and then conditionally used, when actually it should be initialized for everyone at fork time and unilaterally used (removing the rootvp reference in vfs_lookup.c). You *could* fix the problem using that mechanism in combination with removing the ftpd's ability to execute arbitrary commands. Then look up binaries (all one of them) relative to the system root by way of opening the system root and using fchdir() after the fork to put the search path back for the subshell.

I just removed the ti/te caps from my 'xterm' termcap file entry. (note that the /etc/termcap from the FreeBSD distribution doesn't have ti/te entries so most users won't see this unless they specify their own termcap file - as I do to get things like cons25 on other platforms). I'm considering generating a patch for the 'more' sources to address the problem, but I'm generally swamped at work and there's an easy workaround, so it might take a little time...

Either use the PCVT console driver instead of syscons (then, your console acts like a real VT220 terminal, which all systems support), OR, if you like and want to keep syscons (like me), run SCREEN (it's in the ports collection, in utilities, I think). SCREEN, besides doing other cool stuff like multiple windows and other goodies, emulates a VT100 (or vt220? not sure) terminal.

RFC 1597 also states that routers are not supposed to forward packets coming from (or going to) these addresses.

I deleted the /dev's for bpfilter, bpf0-11, and recreated them, and still no improvement. It simply skips attaching them to ed0 (and any other device). I did a strings of my /kernel, and the bpfilter code is definitely in there, as I get several bpfilter related messages. When CAP tries to use bpf0, it gets a device not configured error. Yes, I did copy in the new kernel source :). Any help would be greatly appreciated :). Oh, and great job on 2.1.0 -- I'm very happy with it -- my only suggestion would be to make it easier to change the selected distribution in an upgrade -- I accidently chose the wrong one and found I had to reboot to change it (or just plain missed the palce to change it -- I would include that in options, personally, if you want to include ftp there?:) Thanks again for a great product..

Is there any way I can find out what the various bpf's are attached to post-boot, or get them listed in lsdev or such? Also, I noted that lsdev does not show the presence of device psm, nor does wcd seem to be listed ammong the probes on boot.. Thanks..

I purchased FreeBSD thinking I [0]had a Sound blaster CD rom drive only to try to install it and found out I [0]had a Panasonic IDE CDROM drive that I know your literature says I cannot [0]use. I have been trying for 2 days to load from floppies but to no avail. Sorry, but both of your messages arrived within minutes of each other (28-Nov-95 22:17). (I was on vacation anyway.) Please use the "fast" address listed below for your replies. [0]Tonight I went out and purchased a Creative 2X CDROM drive ($69.95) and [0]connected it to my sound blaster card. It works fine. I ran the FreeBSD [0]Install program on the CDROM and this is what is says when the kernel boot is [0]looking for the cdrom.. [0]matcdo - Matsushita (Panasonic) CD Rom Driver by FDIV Version 1(16) 4-Apr-95 [0]matcdo at 0X250-0x253 in isa [0]matcd0: [' ] matcd1: [' ] matcd2: [' [0] ] matcd3: [' ] Please send me the Model number of the drive. That should be something like CR-562-xx or CR-563-xx or something like that. It is on a label on the top of the drive. Also send me the model number of the SoundBlaster card you have. That number is usually written in white ink in the ten-o-clock position of the card if you are looking at the side of the board with the parts on it and the edge connector is facing down. It should be something like CT-xxxx. For example, CT-1740. [0]Since I know that the card is at 240 and says the cdrom is at 250 when i boot [0]into DOS I assume the kernel is seeing the CDROM. If you "know" your SoundBlaster is at 0x240, then are you talking about the audio part of the board and probably NOT the CD-ROM part of the board. If the audio part is at 0x240, then the CD-ROM part of the board uses I/O ports 0x10 higher, which would be 0x250. The audio and CD-ROM sections are completely separate. This is documented, but I know you may not be able to reach the matcd man page at this time. Also, make sure you don't have the CD-ROM cable plugged-in upside down. The blank version strings make me suspect that is the case and you probably don't really have four drives. Simple test - once you have the I/O port set correctly, reboot the computer (SOFT REBOOT from keyboard) and when the drive is probed (after you messages about mcd0 and mcd1), the drive door should shut. If it doesn't, the hardware RESET signal didn't reach the drive and you may have cabling problems. Oh, it *is* a real Creative Labs Sound card isn't it, and not a clone? If it is a "clone", you need to get FreeBSD 2.1.0. [1]Julian Elischer also wrote: [1]I wish we had some way of registering WHO knows about which driver...

The installation was simple and painless, once I found a full UK mirror! Last week I configured and rebuilt the kernel to get it to see my ATAPI CDROM and soundcard. Last night I did a MAKEDEV to create some the snd0 devices and found that it removed my hard disk partitions! When I installed 2.1, it created the following partitions: /dev/wd0a / /dev/wd0s2e /var /dev/wd0s2f /usr it was the wd0s2? devices that "MAKEDEV all" removed. When I rebooted it rightly complained that it could not mount /var and /usr, this was the point at which I noticed the different device naming for the partitions 8-) I remounted the partitions as /dev/wd0e and /dev/wd0f and everything is hunky dory again. So my question/remark is this, why did the installation floppy create the partitions with the "slice" numbers in them, ie. "s2" (s1 being my MS-DROSS/Messy-Windows slice) for /var and /usr and not for / ? No answer required, I was just curious!

Maybe everyone thought that someone had already answered it? Well, here it is again: Greetings everyone! I know, this is another one of those can't seem to get the drive going to even install FreeBSD problems. Well, here goes... I'm trying to get the DPT ESDI caching controller (PM3011) w/4 Megs working with 2 Fujitsu 670 Meg Full Height (fast ESDI) drives. Well, at least that is what the person who owns this ancient beast told me, that is, the fast ESDI part. After low level formatting the drives with the supplied utilities from DPT and booting up from the FreeBSD boot disk, the drives are seen as with an "unknown size, using BIOS defaults". No matter how many cylinders I specify in the BIOS, FreeBSD's boot disk only sees 1025 cylinders. I guess the machine just has an old BIOS. Anyway, I decided to go with 1025 cylinders just to see if the drive can be partitioned and newfs'd. I keep getting errors with "command return status of 36". I'm using 1025/15/53 for C/H/S since 1652/15/53 isn't being seen. Are these the correct values for these Fujitsu drives? Are there any special settings I need to set for the DPT controller? I don't know if BIOS translation and sector sparing can be disabled on this controller. I am using the whole drive for FreeBSD. Actually, both of them. Comments, anyone? -- William T.

Didn't try it with more that 2 Ethercards though - but it should work too I think. You can assign IP addresses to different ifaces in /etc/sysconfig - it's pretty straightforward. You also have to determine which routing proto to use - unless you'll rely completely on static routing, which is pretty sufficient for small/not comples installs. You have two choices here - either go with routed or with gated. Gated is most powerful one ( runs RIP/OSPF/BGP - all open IP routing protos ) but the config is not obvious. If mucho depricated RIP is sufficient - run RIP via routed. Personally I'd like to hear if some1 here runs FreeBSD box as the router with say 3 or more ifaces ? How fast/reliable is it ? In my opinion PCI P-120/133 with 4 say SMC Etherpowers in PCI slots should beat the crap out of lower end CISCOs ... say 2*** series - both in price and perfomance ... dunno about reliability though :) Rashid.

Lately I've been having all types of problems with my file-system. It's been getting corrupted and I've been losing files like mad. This morning was the last straw! Half of /etc is missing. I reboot my machine and it calls itself `Amnesiac' because it can't find any of it's rc files. I can't even fsck because most of /sbin is gone too (or is it /usr/sbin...). It's too late. I'm just going to back up all my configuration files that haven't disappeared yet, and start from scratch. So, my question is what can I do during fdisk, label, etc... to make sure that I don't have these types of problems again. I'm using a Gateway 2000 p5-75. It's got a built-in PCI IDE harddisk controller. The hard drive is a WD Caviar AC21000 drive. It's a 1G drive with the following parameters: Cyl-2100 Heads-16 Sectors-63 LZ-0 Write Precomp-None So, where should I begin. Is there any file-system that I should specifically be using or are there any newfs options that I need to give when I use the disklabel program?

(I suppose I could build it today. :) If you don't have both of the above, you can't install FreeBSD on an IBM laptop.

What I'm curious about is how people are chosing to do backups these days. I'm an old BSD fossil, so I've been using dump, which has its good sides and bad sides. Dump is patently stupid about determining things like the size of your dump media and the optimal blocksize to keep your tapes streaming because it was originally designed for 9 track drives. I see that gnu tar has some new "backup-like" features including multi-volume sets and incremental sets. Is anyone basing their backups on that? Does anyone have any other tools worth mentioning?

Maybe just because it gave the screen restoration behavior (that I find generally annoying) under some termcap entries. 3) FreeBSD more acquires features from less (after all less is more :-)). At the moment, 'less' (v290?) has an option to ALWAYS pause at EOF. If using a termcap entry with ti/te caps that cause screen restoration, that behavior is required. The FreeBSD 'more' has an option to pause at EOF, but only if more than one screenful has been presented. I think one or more of these should happen: 1) the 'more' -e option should be modified to ALWAYS pause at EOF (as less 290 does). 2) 'more' should always ignore the ti/te caps. 3) 'more' should have an option to cause it to ignore the ti/te caps. 4) We should ignore the problem and tell people to remove the ti/te caps from their "custom" termcap if they have this problem. I think that, if I ever get time to do so, I'll probably do a send-pr with a patch to accomplish #1 above included.

The boot manager loads the boot code from the second disk when you tell it to go to the secon disk. So you have a second boot manager. When you select FreeBSD on that, it should boot. Maybe you don't have an MBR/boot manager on the second disk at all? Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

That's because there is a single install disk for all types of installs, including NFS. You just weren't expecting it, with yout Linux background (Linux has more preconfigured kernels to pick and choose from). 1) Download the installation boot floppy 2) Boot it 3) Pick "NFS" as the "distribution media" 4) Install > obviously i looked at the bin directory, and noticed several dozen files > with useless names. why do you do this? what's wrong with bin usr.bin > usr.local.bin and such like netbsd? or what's wrong with having it > upfront which disk-sets are needed (a n ,etc like for slackware)? is > this a marketing scam to get people to buy your CDROM's? Yeah. That's it. Hundereds of us are getting kickbacks. 8-). Note that WC is the Linux Slackware CDROM supplier as well... Download the one floppy and boot it and you'll be happy.

This is the same error I got on a "seek to sector past end of track" on a wD1007 ESDI controller with sector sparing turned on. The problem is that the physical geometry reported by the controller "get drive geometry" includes the "spared" sectors. Generally, you will have to turn off sector sparing and geometry translation for the drive for it to work. This is true for most older drives that use BIOS-based sector sparing and/or geometry translation mechanisms. The number of cylinders you will need to tell it is 1023. This is to make the fdisk happy. You can later fix this in the disklabel (they are unfortunately "integrated" in the new install). Typically, this means making a seperate /usr, and expanding its size and newfs'ing by hand using the shell on the alternate console later. Or you can modify the disklabel after writing it in the install tools. To know the actual number of cylinders, you'll need to boot with the -v flag or run pfdisk.exe from DOS (available from the same place you got your FreeBSD boot disk). If you get a bad sector in the MBR or partition table, you will be screwed. If you get a bad sector in the second stage boot or the disklabel, you're screwed again. If you get a bad sector in slice 'a', the sector will be replaced, but if your FreeBSD area goes past cylinder 1023, the spare sector will be out of range of BIOS, and you won't be able to boot. These problems are a consequence of the sector sparing being done at the slice rather than the FreeBSD area level, and the bad sector spares being located at the end of the disk instead of at the end of slice 'a'. Hopefully this will be corrected some day. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

Depending on the hardware, there will be a memory "hole" between 640k and 1M of 384k. If your hardware has this "hole", then you can, on some hardware, "back fill" the hole by taking memory from the top of memory and remapping its location into the hole. You should not do this for BSD or for Win95. You should not do this for DOS, either, if you are running an extended memory mamanger of any kind. This is typically required only by very old DOS programs that use expanded memory but can't use extended memory.

If so, you only need one or the other. Secondly, both packages by default assume you have XFree86 installed or they won't work.

However, I'd like to bring online a drive that has recently been connected to a system that is already up and running. I quickly gave up on disklabel because it seemed too complicated given the ease with which the rest of FreeBSD is operated. I tried running /stand/sysinstall and using the W)rite options of partition and label, however, I keep getting the error Nov 29 15:28:50 foo /kernel: sd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic And various other error messages from the install program. I assume this can't be all that complicated, so would some kind soul point me in the right direction.

This is one of the problems with using CVS for the source code control. It messes up all of ID's of source code we import. There is a solution to it that was attempted early on, but it didn't get completed and was backed out before it was finished. We're running a newer version that Christos released, but it doesn't contain some of the newer stuff from Christos simply because I tried using it a while ago and it didn't work with our magic files, and I didn't spend the time to update them to the new format. > I was also looking at man -- seems we're running John Eaton's 1.1...

I'm thinking (don't tell me, I know that's dangerous) about automating my PPP connection and don't care to have the modem interupt any call already using the line. I *think* most modems can go off hook and then stop upon failure to detect a dial tone but I'd like to avoid that "click" on any call in process. On another topic, the generic PC box I just put together to host FreeBSD has an indention in the front for the Mom & Pop PC store to put their logo.

If all the users have the same Group ID # in /etc/passwd then there is no need to have each user in /etc/group under the specified group, unless you are saying the users are in more than 1 group.

Can you please note the state of the ports when their probes fail? In particular, DCD and rx status info are vital. Also, enable verbose probing (flags & 0x80) on all the ports, and let us know which tests fail. > I've looked at the sioprobe function in the sio.c module and there > appears to be lots of instances where the programmer added > EXTRA_DELAY? Has anyone else seen this problem? The EXTRA DELAY comments appear to be mostly pertinent to emulated serial ports on cheapo internal modems, but NOBODY HAS GOTTEN BACK TO ME ON THIS ONE 8( **GRR** > Appart from forcing the machine to reboot if all the sio ports are > not detected, is there a clean way to make sioprobe find all the > ports after a crash? At the moment, the problem _seems_ to be due to UARTs that are already initialised either receiving or still sending data, or possibly having DCD state change interrupts pending. It's probably worth adding code to the probe to try to hang modems up, and so forth, but it's not easy to guarantee a successful probe if the device is receiving data. It may simply be easier to add another flag bit that says "assume the port is there, regardless of the probe results" Comments, Bruce? > Andrew Webster Network Manager / Special Projects -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

I use OSBS and have done so since I first installed FreeBSD-1.1. The version I use now is OSBS-2.0.beta8 (which has been around for ages and has never given me any problems). This version supports booting from multiple drives and has a nice installer and interface for configuring it. The file you need is osbsBETA.exe which you can find at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/dos-tools this is a self-extracting archive with all the files you need to get going.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Going back to the ifconfig aliasing, where would be the 'proper' place to add an alias? In 2.1 sysconfig I set the line for my ed1 device to be: ifconfig_ed1="inet 199.104.90.62 alias 199.104.90.55 netmask 255.255.255.0" My initial reaction was to do: ifconfig_ed1="inet 199.104.90.62 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_ed1="alias 199.104.90.55 netmask 255.255.255.0" However I quickly regained conciousness and realized this would not work (as it would basically blast the initial definition). At first I thought the first option worked. Both aliases were functioning completely normal. I could open and use connections to the machine without problems, on both addresses. However after a few minutes of idle time I returned only to find that the alias address stopped functioning, and any attempts to connect to it simply hung at the point of 'trying to connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'. Looking over /etc/netstart there doesn't seem to be any intrinsic way of adding aliases, although I could be mistaken and simply have looked over the obvious as i'm rather hurried at the moment. Unfortunately I do not know enough about how ifconfig functions to know if aliases SHOULD work on the same line as an inet definition. Since i may be adding more aliases in the future, that option is actually not preferred anyway... Thanks for listening :) Off all of the considerations, i'm thinking of hacking netstart to also accept an ifconfig_[device]_alias="ip ip ip ..." option, if no other course is discovered... -Brandon Gillespie- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 29 20:20:02 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id UAA20689 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 29 Nov 1995 20:20:02 -0800 Received: from mail0.iij.ad.jp (root@mail0.iij.ad.jp [192.244.176.61]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id UAA20681 for ; Wed, 29 Nov 1995 20:19:46 -0800 Received: from uucp0.iij.ad.jp (uucp0.iij.ad.jp [192.244.176.51]) by mail0.iij.ad.jp (8.6.12+2.4W/3.3W9-MAIL) with ESMTP id NAA15503 for ; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 13:19:30 +0900 Received: (from uucp@localhost) by uucp0.iij.ad.jp (8.6.12+2.4W/3.3W9-UUCP) with UUCP id NAA27632 for questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 13:19:30 +0900 Received: from xxx.fct.kgc.co.jp by yyy.kgc.co.jp (8.6.11/3.4W:95111414) id NAA24447; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 13:07:22 +0900 Received: from localhost by xxx.fct.kgc.co.jp (8.6.12+2.4W/3.3W8:95062916) id NAA00628; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 13:04:24 +0900 Message-Id: <199511300404.NAA00628@xxx.fct.kgc.co.jp> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Where did `diskspace.FAQ' go?

Set the global EXINIT or put in the user's .exrc: map ^Z q ^ | real "control-z" Use of ^Z in insert mode will insert ^Z. Use of ^Z in command mode will give the error "q isn't a vi command." Obviously, vi should respect the tty modes, so the real fix is to send the bug in to Keith.

Well, if your CSU/DSU is a Verilink ConnecT 2000, you just plug it onto your standard serial port. Which is my subtle way of saying perhaps you should supply us with a little more info on what you are trying to do. You mention FRAD above so we know you are doing Frame Relay. Assuming your are talking T1 or FT1 rates and you do want to do Frame Relay, I'd suggest the ETPCUX.25 from Emerging Technologies. It plugs into your ISA bus, and connects to your CSU/DSU, and supports FreeBSD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com speakfree.mpress.com [use -t (GSM)] videomsg.mpress.com [mpeg 1 system stream, or h.261 AV stream] From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 30 11:03:46 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id LAA11934 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 11:03:46 -0800 Received: from louie.udel.edu (mmdf@louie.udel.edu [128.175.7.39]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id LAA11923 for ; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 11:03:41 -0800 Received: from snow-white.ee.udel.edu by louie.udel.edu id aa00588; 30 Nov 95 13:45 EST Received: from stimpy.eecis.udel.edu by snow-white.ee.udel.edu id aa15083; 30 Nov 95 13:44 EST Received: from snow-white.ee.udel.edu by stimpy.eecis.udel.edu id aa17838; 30 Nov 95 18:44 GMT To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Testing Organization: Mos Eisley Candy Store MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-ID: <17833.817757034.1@louie.udel.edu> Date: Thu, 30 Nov 1995 13:43:54 -0500 From: Jerry Alexandratos Message-ID: <9511301844.aa17838@stimpy.eecis.udel.edu> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk This is just a test.

The only thing I found was that I had to have the drive attached to a controller that already had a hard disk attached. I get the unknown phase message on bootup as well but this doesn't seem to make too much difference. Occasionally I have trouble mounting the drive or playing audio CDs on it but ejecting the CD and closing it again seems to fix this most of the time. I guess it isn't the most stable driver in the world but it was put in the RELEASE as ALPHA quality, so I can live with minor hiccups.

The command to get a modem to answer is ATS0=2 (where 2 is the number of rings to wait before picking up.) You should set your port speed to at least 38400 to use a 28.8kbs modem..edit the ttyd1 line in your /etc/ttys file to read :- ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" vt100 on secure You get out of tip with ~. If your modem still does not answer it is prolly becuase it is confilicting with your existing serial board - ensure it IS on com2, and that nothing else is. Also check that it has an IRQ all to its self. (usually IRQ3 for com2) If you initilize the modem with AT&D0 instead of AT&D2 the modem should answer wheather there is a conflict or not - it will however not hang up by itself when the remote user closes the session at your end. (so this is best used for trouble shooting only). If you want to do dial back - it is best to get a modem with the capability built in (much easier, and prolly more secure too !)

That's the problem with using pre-packaged software. You need to set it up so it's useful to most of the folks, which means it's not useful to a minority of the folks.

Well, with your data point, and the fact that I was able to reproduce the problem on a separate 133MHz system, I've got a pretty good idea about what's wrong. I set my clock to 120MHz and everything was fine. I ran a memory test under DOS at 133MHz and it failed. Looks like the external cache on the Endeavor doesn't work at 133MHz.

Unfortunately, you can't try this as, you haven't got the OS installed yet. 8-( I believe there is someway to set the sio probe code into verbose mode, so it will at least tell you which test is failing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com speakfree.mpress.com [use -t (GSM)] videomsg.mpress.com [mpeg 1 system stream, or h.261 AV stream] From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 30 19:10:53 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id TAA19387 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 19:10:53 -0800 Received: from emout05.mail.aol.com (emout05.mail.aol.com [198.81.10.37]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id TAA19371 for ; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 19:10:48 -0800 From: Joby@aol.com Received: by emout05.mail.aol.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id WAA13610 for questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 22:10:14 -0500 Date: Thu, 30 Nov 1995 22:10:14 -0500 Message-ID: <951130221006_61970658@emout05.mail.aol.com> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: How to get a network cards device number (major num)?

OK, get the floppies (obvious) bin (obvious) and manpages (obvious) directories. How hard is that? That'll let you do a binaries-and-manpages install. If you want source, get the src (obvious) directory. Likewise info for GNU infopages, proflibs for profiled libraries, XF312 for X, packages for precompiles packages (big), ports for the ports tree (huge), commercial for commercial demos, and so on. > > Stephen Farrell The Ben May Institute Any help? -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

However, there seem to be quite a few operating systems for which Java is available, including Solaris, HP-UX (at least soon), the Mac (before too long), and Windows 95 and Windows NT. And Microsoft is trying to develop Visual Basic as a competitor to Java (called Blackbird, supposedly will be ready January 96). Support for Java applets (Hot Java) is also available in the latest beta releases of Netscape for several platforms--not sure if FreeBSD is covered in any of these. Meanwhile supposedly a Linux prerelease port of the Java Developers Kit is available on ftp://substance.blackdown.org/pub/Java/linux-- there's also a pointer to this location at http://www-lf.eb.com/~tdarugar/java.html, which explains the installation process, necessary libraries, etc. An "elm" distribution is necessary. At this point I'm talking about things I don't understand, so please forgive me. It just seems Java is a focus of competition and new developments and that it's therefore important that it be available for FreeBSD, lest people turn to other platforms and/or operating systems.

Yes, 2.0.5 can run the Netscape Commerce server. Check out https://www-secure.cdrom.com/ :-) Okay, that's a 2.1 box now, but there aren't THAT many differences between 2.0.5 and 2.1. The only problem with the server is that if the machine is rebooted the server needs manual intervention to be restarted, as it requires a password to unlock the key or something.

We are working on a number of prerequisites for Java support (e.g. a good p-threads package) we'll let the Linux guys rush around cleaning up Java (apparently the version released by sun is a REAL MESS) and when they've done that, we'll grab it and do the small amount of porting needed toget it here.. it's a better use of our time.. having said that, we have several people watching Java very seriously.. > > Annelise > > From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 30 22:33:44 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id WAA18733 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 22:33:44 -0800 Received: from twirl.io.org (root@twirl.io.org [198.133.36.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id WAA18725 for ; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 22:33:42 -0800 Received: from flinch (flinch.io.org [198.133.36.153]) by twirl.io.org (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id BAA09408; Fri, 1 Dec 1995 01:28:36 -0500 Date: Fri, 1 Dec 1995 01:28:25 -0500 (EST) From: Brian Tao X-Sender: taob@flinch To: "Garrett A.

Solution: Modify the attach routine in sio.c (/usr/src/sys/i386/isa) there is a piece of code that makes 4 tests, recompile the code by doing a "printf" of the counter, and see where it stops, and ignore the situation.

I'm planning on putting together my next FreeBSD system, and want it to be as hassle free as possible. I will be running 2.0.5 initially, with an upgrade to 2.1 (or any updated versions) around about Christmas time: Motherboard: ASUS P55TP4XE (I don't anticipate any problems, many of you on this list have recommended it) Cache: 256K Pipeline I've seen some comments about pipeline problems with 2.1 recently. Is this a generic problem, or just restricted to certain motherboards?

I have just downloaded FreeBSD, 2.1.0-RELEASE from the mirror-site. I had 2.0.5-RELEASE installed before. Then I recompiled the kernel from new source code exactly with the same configuration file (which is enclosed at the end of this letter) and replaced all the binaries with new ones from the 2.1.0-RELEASE distribution. And then I came to the following situation. The computer is connected to the service-provider with 4W leased line. On this line we use SLIP protocol. As the line quality is not so good, modems often came to "CARRIER LOST" situation and then automatically reconnect. With FreeBSD 2.0.5 slattach used to distuinguish that carrier has disappeared and recover SLIP connection after modems became connected. In 2.1.0 slattach determines whenever carrier disappear and appear, but never recovers the SLIP connection. I am starting slattach in /etc/rc.local as slattach -h -s 38400 /dev/cuaa2 I would be very obliged if you could help me with this problem. Thank you greatly for your attention to this matter. Yours faithfully, Jacob Greenstein. P.S.

Question, I grabbed the 60 day trial commerce server for BSDi, everything worked fine except for the fact that I could not generate a key (boggle?). The program would run (makekey, I think was the name), I would randomly type until it was 'filled up' with key sequences, at which point it would print saying 'Press Enter to continue', and I would, but nothing. The process was essentially hung as it was taking up 0% CPU etc. I let it run for several hours, for naught. Any ideas? Doesn't matter too much now though, since Apache has SSL and should soon have https (crosses fingers). -Brandon Gillespie- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 1 08:23:13 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id IAA06907 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 1 Dec 1995 08:23:13 -0800 Received: from halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu (halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu [18.26.0.159]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id IAA06898 for ; Fri, 1 Dec 1995 08:23:08 -0800 Received: by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65/1.1.8.2/19Aug95-0530PM) id AA13050; Fri, 1 Dec 1995 11:20:28 -0500 Date: Fri, 1 Dec 1995 11:20:28 -0500 From: "Garrett A.

It's difficult to say; it depends a lot on whether any useful statistics are getting saved in the cache. If you see a significant amount of Transaction TCP traffic, increasing rtmaxcache or rtminexpire might help. Be aware that every entry costs on the order of 256 bytes of memory, which is why we make an effort to dynamically limit them in the first place. You can tell whether you are getting useful statistics by looking at the output of `netstat -p tcp' and searching for the following: 181 connections closed (including 19 drops) 27 connections updated cached RTT on close 27 connections updated cached RTT variance on close 5 connections updated cached ssthresh on close You can examine the statistics by using the `route get' command; for example: ------------------------------------ root@khavrinen(17)# route get freefall.freebsd.org route to: freefall.FreeBSD.ORG destination: freefall.FreeBSD.ORG gateway: radole interface: ed0 flags: recvpipe sendpipe ssthresh rtt,msec rttvar hopcount mtu expire 16384 16384 1656 438 500 0 1500 3538 ------------------------------------ The ssthresh value is the switchover point between linear and exponential TCP window expansion; rtt is the estimated round-trip time; and rttvar is the ``variance'' of the rtt measurement. (I put `variance' in quotes because the value is not computed as a true statistical variance, but rather as an average deviation.) A correct ssthresh value can substantially increase the performance of short connections; rtt and rttvar come into play when determining how long to wait for an acknowledgement before timing out and retransmitting the packet. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Ahh, that's the major difference between BSD distributions and Linux distributions. FreeBSD is distributed as a 'complete' system, while Linux is distributed as a system which is put together piece by piece. The packages allow us to add (non-essential) pieces to the base system, but the base system is seen as a whole, and not as parts. The down-side to this is that the user of the system doesn't know what packages are used in the base system. > In freebsd, I just have bin.* > In src, I have all types of collections...(share,sys,subin,sgnu,sgames,setc) > Wouldn't a list of what is where be useful (I suppose I could make it...but > still it should be provided...) See above. All of the pieces are 'necessary' for a complete BSD system, so it isn't considered necessary to know where each piece came from. In the same manner as all of the commercial vendors you buy the system as a whole, and not as Linux+gcc_2.6.3+diffutil_2.4+cvs_1.3A.... You get 'FreeBSD 2.1' or 'SCO ODT3.0'.

Cat the images together into a single gzip image and untar them. Under DOS, you can: COPY BINDIST.* ALL.GZ And either use GNU tar to read the file, or gunzip to unzip it, and one of the windows tar programs. Beware of the relative root. Or if you have some disk and a network card, boot the single install floppy and install it, login as root, and cd /usr/src. 8-).

There is the Net/2 and 4.4-Lite/Lite2 X.25 code via the ISO protocols. You will need a sync serial card. I've done X.25 several times in the past using the PC Appletalk cards. They are basically Zilog USARTS, like on Sun machines (the NetBSD SPARC port serial driver is agood start for them), which means they do sync and async, etc. They are much better parts than the Intel UARTS, actually. There is no "canned" soloution, unless Dennis's sync serial cards support them. I believe there are X.29 PAD services in the BSD code, so that should save a bit of work.

A port of the Sun JAVA code is being made by a group of programmers in the NetBSD camp. NetBSD has most of the multithreading issues taken care of that FreeBSD has yet to address. Since the code will be entirely user space, it will run under NetBSD binary compatability. > Meanwhile supposedly a Linux prerelease port of the Java Developers > Kit is available on ftp://substance.blackdown.org/pub/Java/linux-- > there's also a pointer to this location at > http://www-lf.eb.com/~tdarugar/java.html, which explains the installation > process, necessary libraries, etc. An "elm" distribution is necessary.

Probably because there is a line that says: device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr That implies you are allowed to delete the line. It's shouldn't be configurable at all.

Well, with your data point, and the fact that I was able to reproduce the problem on a separate 133MHz system, I've got a pretty good idea about what's wrong. I set my clock to 120MHz and everything was fine. I ran a memory test under DOS at 133MHz and it failed. Looks like the external cache on the Endeavor doesn't work at 133MHz. The documentation that came with the MB is pretty poor and I can't see any obvious jumpers, switches, or BIOS options that might make it work. If anyone has any ideas at this point, let me know.

Any word on who is doing it? Anything possible to help out those individuals? In other news, the department of computer science at UNCC is embracing FreeBSD in its networks, hopefully to influence the whole college of engineering (and who knows from there?) into the benefits of this wonderful OS, and the usefulness of a heterogenous network. UNCC's College of Engineering has about 145 Sparc stations running Slowaris 2.3 with a large investment in AFS fileserving. Any student in the COE can use these machines. What CSCI is trying to do is to build a network of all sorts of different OS's that provide the same front end and filespace. We can do this better and cheaper with FreeBSD than with Solaris on sparcs. Anyway, we're going to have a lab of FreeBSD / WNT boxes up next semester using NFS, but to deploy this campus wide we need to see AFS space, in that that's where all the student's home filespace is. In the mean time, we're developing a cross-platform environment. We have it so that if you sit down at a PC or a Sun or a SGI, you get the same envirnoment (thanks, fvwm!), the same applications through some simple scripting and expect, and the same filespace (NFS and amd). If you're interested in this stuff, check out http://www.cs.uncc.edu/~jlrobins/network.html BTW -- anyone know about a NFS -> AFS gateway? I've heard rumors about this sort of thing, but I'd like to see some sort of pointers to it.

The problem is in the probe. Because the ISA bus does not have per slot device identification mechanisms like EISA (which doesn't have a set per slot memory size), MAC (which does), and PCI, an ISA device must be "probed". A probe can be destructive (it pokes the devices to see if it says "ouch") or non-destructive (it looks for a ROM or a memory range checksum, or some other characteristic that the device does not share with any other device). The problem with non-destructive probes is that they rely on the device being in a known state so that the checksum will match, etc., and the device will be found. The AST/4 and Digi PC/4/8 cards device driver relies on the device being in a known state. So do a number of the ethernet drivers. That state is the state that the card is in after POST (Power On Self Test). In the event of a crash, the system will typically be frozen. So that's not a recoverable case without a human to hit a reset switch anyway. Or the power went off then on, and it acts as if a human caused a cold start. In the event of a panic, you have a problem. The card driver "attach" routine, once the card is probed and found to exist, must change the state information that the probe depends on to actually use the card. This could be considered a problem with the card POST leaving the card in a less than useful state. This is typically not a real problem, however. When the system is rebooted under software control, it's done by one of several methods. Only EISA nad PCI systems support full system reset controls. It's an error that on EISA and PCI systems, FreeBSD doesn't use these techniques to reboot the system. Another method of doing a reboot is to cause the keyboard controller to strobe the reset line. This may or may not work, since some keyboard BIOS rely on the Gate A20 setting and default page mapping to allow the keyboard reset technique to work. When it does work, the reset strobe can be implemented a couple of different ways (described below). If the keyboard reset fails, then an attempt is made to cause the processor to triple fault. A triple fault will cause a soft reset strobe to occur. A triple fault is the type of "crash" that will cause the machine to reboot if it isn't caught by a panic. In general, there aren't any known bugs that will result in spurious triple faults. Now the reset strobe can cause one of two actions: (1) a soft reset (2) a hard reset If a hard reset occurs, the bus will be reset and the cards will rerun their post code and you won't have a problem. If a soft reset occurs, though, the post code will not be run unless the soft reset forces a bus reset. This is what leaves the card in an indeterminate state and causes the probe to fail when the system is reloaded. You might notice that internal serial ports with FIFO's enabled are not reset correctly even on a hard reset. This is the result of a stupid BIOS that doesn't know about the hardware in the machine and doesn't reset the FIFO's to "disabled". In any case, if the probe executes after an attach without an intervening hard reset it can fail. So it fails because of one of: 1) Bad POST code: doesn't really return decive to the power on state after hard reset (BIOS BUG or Card design BUG). 2) Bad keyboard BIOS (or bad FreeBSD implementation of reset) causes keyoard based reset to fail (BIOS or FreeBSD BUG). 3) Soft reset from keyboard reset instead of hard reset causes POST to be skipped (Motherboard design BUG). So there are several obvious ways to fix the problem, but none of them can happen overnight. The most obvious of these is discard all ISA based hardware or buy only ASUS or other high quality motherboards.

Then after vnconfiging it, mounting it up, and writing files to it, when you are happy with it, you *dd* the image onto the writer. As far as I know, that writer is not considered a writable device by the WORM driver yet. When it is, you can follow the above process to "burn" CDROMs. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

You need to increase the number of mbuf clusters. You didn't specify which version of FreeBSD you're using, and the default numbers of clusters is different with each version...but nonetheless, you can increase the number by adding: options "NMBCLUSTERS=" ...to your kernel config file, where is a value of 512 or larger (I suggest trying 1024). Don't use a value much larger than 2048 without adding more memory (2048 will require 4MB of RAM just for the buffers). -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 1 18:09:39 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id SAA12389 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 1 Dec 1995 18:09:39 -0800 Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id SAA12384 for ; Fri, 1 Dec 1995 18:09:27 -0800 Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id TAA03219; Fri, 1 Dec 1995 19:06:24 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199512020206.TAA03219@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: Help!!!!

Well do you have an audio board in your machine? has it been configured into the kernel? if not (A) you can still do audio (at Lo-Fi) by compiling in the pcaudio device (pca) and CATting the file to /dev/pcaudio recognisable sound but bretty poor quality though (from that tiny speeker that goes 'Beep' sometimes..) > > Thanks for any tips. > > -- > Gary D.

I believe it's in the ports distribution as popclient-2.21. Not sure though. (if you DO use this, save the mail as a folder; if you try to make it mail it back to you (the default), that support is broke and it will eat the mail. :( Otherwise works great.) Pine's remote folder support uses "imap" which may not be supported on all systems. imap also doesn't work very well on very busy systems. I don't use elm so I can't comment on that. Hope this helps.

Apparently some patches for >async mounts adversely affected non-async mounts. "Apparently" is a pretty ambiguous word. Does this mean you heard somebody ask if it was the async changes? Have you considered the possibility that it was one of the other changes that went in at about the same time that was breaking the people that were seeing the problem? For instance, I've never had the problem on ISA machines, and I've not heard anybody with problems on a PCI machine.. Just by coincidence, the people that described their hardware were running EISA and 284X controllers. Guess what? There was a major EISA rewrite about the same time as John committed his benign Async changes.... Please check before implying blame for unrelated problems on somebody's changes that you appear to not agree with in principle... Unfortunately I dont know what the problem on that particular machine might be. He didn't supply enough info.. For example, it might have been useful to know what version of the OS he's running. If it's not the latest -current, then that immediately rules out Async. It vaguely reminds me of the msdosfs problems, but he didn't say what he was using... I normally would have assumed that he'd have mentioned msdosfs if he was using it, but since he didn't even mention what OS.. who's to know? -Peter > Terry Lambert > terry@lambert.org >--- >Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present >or previous employers.

Neither the eisaconf code nor the aic7xxx code munge buffers on a personal level, so I don't know how they could cause this type of problem.

Does anyone know whatever happened to those synchronization primitives that are mentioned in 4.4BSD Architecture Manual (see PSD:5-11)? After writing initial versions of POSIX.4 shm_open() and shm_unlink() I thought about implementing POSIX.4 counting semaphores using mmap()'ed shared memory and msleep(), mwakeup(), mset(), and mclear(), but when I checked none of these synchronization routines were present in source files. Or maybe I just did not look for them in the correct place. At least they were not in the source trees of FreeBSD-2.0.5 or 4.4BSD-Lite, which I have on CD at home. I did not check FreeBSD-2.1.0 yet. Does anybody have a better idea where to look? At the bottom of the manual page that I mentioned above there is a note "All currently unimplemented, no entry points exist." Is this still true or has someone already tried adding them? Supposedly it would not be terribly difficult to add these binary semaphores though. At the first glance it looked to me that only msleep() and mwakeup() would really need to be supported by the kernel unless one wants also something like mtimedsleep() to be a single system call instead of two calls, the first one to set a timer and then msleep(). Mset() and mclear() could (when efficiency is concerned they presumably even should) be plain wrappers to bus-interlocked machine instructions in the style of test-and-clear.

I didn't mean to point the finger at your code either.. I was trying to point out that there were a lot of other things happening about the same time as John's "extreme async" changes. Actually, I think I was the one with the Buslogic VLB card. I remember mentioning it in the discussion. I've not had getblk hangs. We have other machines with 1542CF and CP controllers that are panicing and/or doing a silent reboot (clearing the dmesg buffer and no crash dump). One of them was caught with an "invalid page directory", the other one was something corrupt in the pmap system when the machine was idle and cron forked, I was on the phone to the person and it went right in front of him. All of these are boring old 486 boxes.. Hmm.. This thread is getting way off topic.. The original problem in this thread was that the user's machine was trashing it's root and /usr filesystem. Unfortunately, he didn't supply any version or configuration information. At the risk of doing what I flamed Terry for, I'll mention that it vaguely reminds me of some interaction with msdosfs.. I hope this will jog somebody's memory to see if the symptoms match... > I haven't seen a getblk hang on my machine for more than a week now. > Perhaps the problem has been inadvertantly fixed???

It basically means that, if you have it in your /etc/fstab file, when the system boots, it will make a RAMdisk (in DOS terms) out of your 8Meg of RAM, thereby giving you less memory to play use. On systems with a large amount of "real" RAM, it is generally used for /tmp, speeding up some programs by not requiring temporary files to have to be written to a "real" hard drive > Also, in the config file, there are references to 'tun' & 'ijppp'. > Two of the lines were hashed out in the distribution package.

You may also want the 'IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE' option to your kernel if you want to use the log or ldeny options in your firewall.

If you want to upgrade it the regular way, select the "Upgrade" option in sysinstall. BACKUP /ETC FIRST TO FLOPPY when performing this procedure, if you end up having to do multiple installs and accidentally overwrite the backup of etc in /usr/tmp/etc (like I did)...well, have fun reconfiging. :) (The install program will copy /etc to a directory of your choice, default /usr/tmp/etc.) > I also had problems with booteasy from the second hard disk (but the > bios size is different from the real size -- the second disk is a 1.2gig, and > the bios says about 400 Mbytes...[I have a compaq which has a sick, strange > bios]). I also haven't tried any of the On-disk managers... Booteasy has to be rebuilt for it to boot from disk 2. I have fbsd on a second IDE and remember reading in some help file in sysinstall that you have to physically reprogram booteasy to use wd1. > In the first 300 Megabytes, I'm running win95 and NT with no problems, then > I have a BSD disk slice of about 400 Mbyte, and linux in upper disk area > (so dos fdisk is a bit screwed up...) The new sysinstall fixes this problem. It now asks if you want to make the fbsd slice compatible with other OS's. But you have to remake your partitions and I don't think you want to do that. :) > I have a small partition on the first hard disk (about 80 Mbytes) which > boot easy works with...my base system is on here, then my fstab has: Interesting solution. I run OS/2 Warp on my first disk (a WD 1080mb), it comes with a nice Boot Manager that lets me boot fbsd off the second disk. I just added it to the manager and it works great :) > (I really don't understand the device syntax -- why is /usr on /dev/wd0s4e > and the other disk has wd1a/wd1e in my slice? -- I got this working well > from trial and error.

Well, you're stuck with it unless you can figure out how to reprogram the boot program and then reload it into the bootblocks. good luck...

At least, as soon > as I have an analysis -- I usually have a solution... First, I said "apparently" intentionally. It is not my claim that the patches broke anything. It is the result of some 20-30 messages following the date the patches were committed complaining about erratic behaviour. Check the -hackers and -current list archives. I *know* the patches didn't affect the non-async case directly, having looked at them. If the circumstantial relationship were not so widely supported, or if I could say I haven't personally had the problems myself (and fixed them by reverting the code to the pre-"fix" code), I would have said nothing. My problem with this whole thing is that the "async 'fixes'" appear to be related to the problem (who knows? It might be tickling a dormant compiler bug, etc.), and are really not rationally justified except as a method of putting some bogus Linux benchmarks to rest. They were (and remain) reactive to what I believe to be a non-problem, at best, and they are circumstantially related to a large number of problems that didn't exist prior to their commit date, at worst. I'm not drawing peoples conclusions for them, it's all there in the list archives for anyone to see.

Backing the code back to before the changes went in fixes the problem. Yes, I realize this is circumstantial. That's why I said "apparently". It is intentionally ambiguous. > Please check before implying blame for unrelated problems on > somebody's changes that you appear to not agree with in principle... I was merely noting an apparent causal relationship that has been noted on -current and -hackers by others before I even updated the code on my machine and saw the problem. Backing the code back to before the changes made at and around the time of the async changes fixes the problem. Take that for what it is worth (a lot if you happen to have a system with the problem and only care that it go away, and don't care about the real cause).

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just finished building the new kernel. All is well, however there are a few questions I have. First, I left out the MFS options, and kept the default pseudo-device tun. I'm not too sure just how ijppp relates to my situation & my dial-up ppp account, but that can wait. In the kernel config file, I enabled PCVT, XSERVER & vt0. 'make depend' issued an error when I first had both 'sc0' & 'vt0' enabled in the config file, so I hashed out the 'sc0' line. Make depend, make, & make install worked and I rebooted. It took a few minutes to figure out how to access the virtual consoles, in 2.0.5 I used ALT F1 - F6 for the six vc's. Now I know to use ALT F12 to move from vc to vc. Also, ALT F11 displays some kind of system status information bar. I do however now have a Blinking Cursor. I had gotten used to the solid cursor and now miss it. Any hints on how to change it back? I tried changing the /etc/sysconfig file; changing the 'cursor' line from "normal" to NO, but upon rebooting, I still have the blinking cursor. The message I got upon rebooting after the cursor change follows: [vidcontrol: cursorMust be on a virtual console: Inappropriate ioctl for device] In the original reInstallation of 2.1.0, I chose the screen saver option. I have a NEC MultiSync XV15 monitor, and a S3 805 video card, both of which support the 'green thing'. Upon booting the new kernel I got this message: screensaver: /lkm/green_saver_mod.o: Undefined symbol `_scrn_blanked' referenced from text segment /lkm/green_saver_mod.o: Undefined symbol `_crtc_addr' referenced from text segment /lkm/green_saver_mod.o: Undefined symbol `_crtc_addr' referenced from text segment /lkm/green_saver_mod.o: Undefined symbol `_scrn_blanked' referenced from text segment modload: /usr/bin/ld: return code 1 I have since changed the /etc/sysconfig file, the 'saver="green" ' line to 'saver=NO', and the above message no longer is displayed. Also, the backspace, and delete key no longer work, all I get now is ^? and ^[[ respectively. This is also the case in vi. Luckily, CTRL h Does work as a command line eraser. This new setup is new to me. Any advice on how to use the what I guess is PCVT will be appreciated. My main questions are, how do I get the cursor back to its Non-Blinking state, and how do I fix the backspace & delete keys. I remember seeing a few letters last week on PCVT. I still have to review them. Any help on the above will be appreciated.

I was noting the association that others had made after the problem was first noted. It was not a value judgment. If it were, I would have baldly made the statement and left it up to others to disprove, which would have been difficult, since I rarely make such judgements without evidence to back them in case someone does attempt to disprove it. It makes it impossible for them to refute it sole on the basis of its source. In American English the word "apparently" does not imply a causal relationship, it implies a circumstantial one (at least according to Noah Webster). If the people with the problem back their code to before the changes (which is as handy a mechanism of "tagging" the tree before and after the problem was introduced, whatever the problem is, as is available right now without a firmer grasp of what the problem is), then the problem will simply go away. The only pressure intended (if it can even be called that) is to cause the persons complaining to realize that the problem has been noted and offer them a workaround. If anything, this would *prevent* pressure on developers by causing the complaintants to be less insistent of an immediate fix.

Actually, pine (at least, 3.91) does support reading remote mail using pop3. Add this in your .pinerc incoming-folders=INBOX_netcom {popd.ix.netcom.com/pop3} ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | | (1) (2) (1) = set this to be the name that you want this "mailbox" to appear as (2) = set this to the hostname/IP address of your pop3 server It'll ask you for your username and password, when you read mail. Your UNIX login name on your FreeBSD box must be the same as the account you have on the POP server. It seems to me, though, that the POP3 may not be working right (?) -- I get a lot of erorr messages when ever I try to use it, but maybe it's due to Netcom's stupid POP server(?) Can anyone else test this out and let me (and the list! and maybe even the Pine developers!) know about it?

I followed some threads earlier this year about Pine's pop implement before I ported popclient. I don't remember what the errors were but I believe it'll fail in use. ______________________________________________________________________ Rob Snow Powered by FreeBSD rsnow@txdirect.net http://www.freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 2 23:08:41 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id XAA27585 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 2 Dec 1995 23:08:41 -0800 Received: from picspc01.pics.com (picspc01.pics.com [192.135.189.20]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id XAA27579 for ; Sat, 2 Dec 1995 23:08:30 -0800 Received: (from tpr@localhost) by picspc01.pics.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id CAA00845 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 02:08:19 -0500 From: Terry Rossi Message-Id: <199512030708.CAA00845@picspc01.pics.com> Subject: Solution: Large IDE & 2.1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 3 Dec 1995 02:08:17 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1235 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk This probably applies to all 2.0+ versions of FreeBSD, but I am many others have been having problems with IDE disks over the magic 1024 cylinder mark.
