I have the following question: I have one machine configugred with ppp -auto -nat, so that it establishes a connection to the Internet whenever one of my other machines wants to send packets to the Internet. The other machines are, of course, set up so that their default route points to the ppp-machine. So far, so good. Now, on the other machines I have sendmail running (sendmail -bd), which also works fine BUT whenever I turn on one of these machines, sendmail wants to look something up using the nameserver, and so the boot-process hangs until the ppp-machine has established a connection to the Internet. This bothers me a little. I wonder if there's a way to prevent sendmail from doing that, because I don't see a need for a ppp-connection being established every time I start one of my computers, only for allowing sendmail to do this one nslookup operation (I don't even know WHAT sendmail looks up...) So... does anybody have an idea what I can do so that sendmail starts normally but does *not* establish / need a connection to the Internet? While this behavior is not really a problem for me, I'm just curious if I can do something against it...

I'm trying to upgrade my system from 3.4-stable to 4.x-stable, and am having problems getting a 4.x kernel operating. The handbook tells me to; If you have just upgraded to a newer version of 4.X or higher (ie from 3.X to 4-STABLE, or even from 4-STABLE to a later version of 4-STABLE), make sure you have built the world, and then run the following commands: # cd /usr/src # make buildkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL # make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL Unfortunately I get this error message; make: don't know how to make buildkernel. Stop Can anyone tell me why? I've followed the handbook, ofcourse, and that lead me to downloaded the sources via cvsup, using the following cvsup file; --BEGIN contents /etc/cvsupfile *default host=cvsup.nl.FreeBSD.org *default basftpmaile=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=FreeBSD-STABLE *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all *default tag=. ports-all doc-all --END contents /etc/cvsupfile this resulted in the following file: -rwxr----- 1 root wheel 211094016 Feb 18 2000 /usr/src.tar I then proceeded with /usr/src # rm -Rf * /usr # tar xf src.tar which created me a new /usr/src tree. /usr/src # make world; fastboot went OK aswell. The output of make world was saved (as advised in handbook), and is available at request due to largeness (5M+ text :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 3:35:29 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from f1node03.rhrz.uni-bonn.de (node03.rhrz.uni-bonn.de [131.220.18.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 20C1537B400 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 03:35:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from moritz.alleswirdgelber (ascend-tk-p243.dialin.uni-bonn.de [131.220.244.243]) by f1node03.rhrz.uni-bonn.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA29186; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 12:33:00 +0100 Received: from localhost (uzs106@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by moritz.alleswirdgelber (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id CAA74213; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 02:23:20 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from uzs106@ibm.rhrz.uni-bonn.de) Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2000 02:23:20 +0100 (CET) From: Heiko Recktenwald X-Sender: uzs106@moritz.alleswirdgelber To: Joe Oliveiro Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Netscape "hangs" during startup..

Unfortunately, I tried to access the security manager in the tasks menu, and it completely froze XFree86 3.3.6. Not really froze it, but I was unable to switch windows as the pointer remained over the netscape menu item. I was forced to do a CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to kill X and then restarting the X-server. Perhaps just a warning to anyone trying this tip should be careful to save all the data in other X-apps before attempting this tip. YMMV. ;-) As for me, I'll just leave netscape 6 as it is... ;-) Regards, Wee Guan.

You may note that the problem Kevin addresses here is a userland and kernel being out of synch. What do you suppose might happen if you did your install=world= and booted on the =old= kernel? Sure, you're only rebooting to build a new kernel, but until you fix things, your userland and kernel would be out of synch! And that could be disastrous, depending on =how= out of synch. The method Kevin describes avoids this problem (you can find some clues on how in src/Makefile.inc1, which is interesting reading in general). Consider, for starters, that the "latest system files" =are= on your computer after a buildworld, but only the world-builders (you and make) know where they are. Unless you have a really unusual path. In sum, either: understand how "make world" (a lovely bit of engineering) really works, or follow the instructions to the letter. (Maybe we could abbreviate that as "RTFs/U" -- "Read the 'Friendly' src/UPDATING"!) -- And that goes for a lot more than "make world"...

Try switching to ttyv1 with Alt F2 as the error messages shouldn't show = up there. I've no idea what would be causing the "microuptime" problem = though. If you want to send the dmesg output to the list, then you won't need the= lpr part of your line above, just 'dmesg > /root/dmesg.txt' (of course :-)) HTH John.

I recently found myself in "too many groups", as LIBC complains; I found that somehow that if I present in more than in 16 groups ( what is exactly that value of NGROUPS_MAX in sys/syslimits.h), I run into problems. Well, first thing that popped out was to recompile LIBC, and maybe I'll do that (later), but I'm just curious - how come that 16 is a limit? Didn't anyone before run into this "implementation flaw"? Or, maybe, there exists some better solution? -- Sincerely, Dmitry --- www.karasik.eu.org --- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 7: 5:15 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 3 07:05:12 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from motgate2.mot.com (motgate2.mot.com [136.182.1.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 82E6337B400 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 07:05:12 -0800 (PST) Received: [from pobox2.mot.com (pobox2.mot.com [136.182.15.8]) by motgate2.mot.com (motgate2 2.1) with ESMTP id IAA27748 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 08:02:08 -0700 (MST)] Received: [from il02dns1.comm.mot.com (il02dns1.comm.mot.com [145.1.3.2]) by pobox2.mot.com (MOT-pobox2 2.0) with ESMTP id IAA04709 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 08:02:07 -0700 (MST)] Received: from comm.mot.com ([145.9.194.152]) by il02dns1.comm.mot.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA03127 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 09:02:10 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <200012031502.JAA03127@il02dns1.comm.mot.com> From: eli@il02dns1.comm.mot.com To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE:info requested Date: 03 Dec 2000 18:00:15 +0200 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html Sender: eli@yahool.com Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Untitled http://www.yahoo.com/info.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 7:43:33 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 3 07:43:31 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from ocdi.sb101.org (p28-max5.adl.ihug.com.au [203.173.185.156]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EAA9237B400 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 07:43:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (data@localhost) by ocdi.sb101.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id CAA49945 for ; Mon, 4 Dec 2000 02:12:20 +1030 (CST) (envelope-from ocdi@ocdi.org) Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 02:12:04 +1030 (CST) From: Trevor Nichols X-Sender: data@ocdi.sb101.org To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: ppp network traffic died?

The partition is 4GB, a quarter(ish), of a 16.4GB disk, so it should be contained in the first 2096/4 cylinders which is well below the 1024 cylinder limit. What am I doing wrong?

No resolution yet, but you guys are definitely quick on the replies and have solid answers to research. Now I understand why so many FBSD'ers swear by it: it's the responsiveness of these lists! It's a very big encouragement to someone new to the OS, and you have my deep gratitude for your assistance. OK, my suspicions agree with yours...and it ain't just FBSD. FYI, I've never gotten the SB Live! to work in Windows on this mobo, Win98 or WinME, though no resources appear to conflict; it works perfectly in Linux (multiple distros). Until WinME, had an odd problem with the NDIS driver: could not boot Win whenever any NIC was installed. I've never really been able to isolate the problems: CPU, mobo, bad RAM??? But since everything worked in Linux, I figured it was differences between the OS's. But I've always wondered if it had something to do with the mobo, something that Linux was more tolerant of than Win. Installing FBSD seems to have brought those issues to the fore. I tried John's suggestion, going to ttyv1 (and ttyv2, 3, & 4), but as soon as I put a command in, the "microuptime()" lines started bursting forth as before. I think now I'll reinstall without the APM option. I recall where the APM code for Linux used to be buggy, and it took developers awhile to make it work across many mobo platforms. It really does appear, in reading Rocky's and James' replies, that it may have something to do with earlier Athlon CPU's or certain Athlon motherboards (or just bad system clocks?). Again, thank you guys for all the solid help. I'll post back once I've reinstalled.

I had it running fine for 4 days after RAM upgrade and all of a sudden it stopped responding. After reboot, which fixed the problem, I noticed /kernel: fxp0: device timeout in the syslog file repeated until the reboot. This has never happened before with this box. I had it virtually freeze 2 times while swapping (swap can't handle the load), so I added 512MB of RAM and now this.. Any ideas what can be wrong besides bad cable/NIC? Is there a way I can do something to see if it stops responding again without having to wait for it to do it on its own? remotely that is. Can attacks (flood, etc...) of some sort cause things like this to happen? or is this purely hardware issue? I read almost all the posts I could find regarding the same issue in the archives, but couldn't find what I was looking for. My plan is to have the ethernet cable changed and then the NIC. Now, what I'm afraid of is what if that doesn't fix the problem. Then again, maybe it will never happen again, but since it did once, I'm close to sure it will. Any help and or suggestions would be appreacited. Thank you!

I would not say Spanish is corrupted per se, but it's true that most people abuse it largely. As such, I don't see a problem in technical English words, they are mostly confined to the realm they belong to. "Hamburguesa" and "carro" are proper Spanish words also; I'm not quite sure where "hamburguesa" comes from exactly (though we do use it to name hamburgers and hamburgers only), but the traditional Spanish "carro" is something different than English "car" and is probably much older (only in American Spanish it has taken that other meaning). Again, things like "abend(-)ear" or "bootear" are not Spanish and I'm not prone to think that Spanish is rotting because some people use them; I rather worry because of the lenguage the media display, and people using it because they think it's the real Spanish.

The program to do this (which I hope to find or write in PERL) needs to permit regular modem access by programs such as ppp, Minicom, mgetty, etc., without interfering with them or itself losing the ability to collect caller ID. For example, if ppp or mgetty is running, my program should see caller ID info as it comes in and still pass it on to whatever else is running; if nothing else is running, my program should get the caller ID info but allow programs to come along and use the port. The program would need to run at all times and occasionally verify the modem's correct operation, which would involve the occasional (transparent to other programs) transmission of an AT#CID=1 command to the modem and the verification that the expected "OK" came back. My problem: I'm not sure if what I want is possible without modifying a device driver. If I use something like Minicom, cu, screen, etc., to watch the port, other programs don't work correctly when they try to use it. I have not tried a tty snooper, but I assume these could not transmit the AT#CID=1 now and then and might also end up collecting great quantities of info when, say, the modem is being used by ppp. I'm not above modifying a device driver (I know C), but I'd like to know if there's an easier way. If I do need to modify a driver, I should like to know which one, and I hope there would then be an easy way to keep up with STABLE without manually repatching the changed file(s)... but yes, I'm known for dreaming. :-) Please send any answers directly to me (dgl@visi.com, from which this message originates), as I have fallen hopelessly behind on this list since moving to Virginia and, for a while, losing regular Internet access.

What you gurus suggest me ? i'm no way a guru, but i wrote once or twice this kind of apps .. you would like to start with RFC 1945 - HTTP/1.0 It's only 50 pages or so, and it's enough for what i see that you need. I don't see any reason to go with HTTP/1.1 - it's far more too work to do. after that, write some html "generator". for this, i think you could find some ready-written cgi libs, but i can't recommend you something specific, since i wrote my own wrappers. search in ports tree, i'm sure you will find something there. you may need to know something about sockets. i'll recommend "unix network programming", w. richard stevens, prentice hall, 1990 :), chapter 6 - berkley sockets. also you may find another good docs on the net. but if you don't know nothing about sockets, and don't want to learn, there is no problem :) you can write a small "web server" without this - just use the system's inetd. for example, see how samba's swat works (IIRC). this will allow you to start an arbitrary program when somebody connects to a specific port. the port's input/ouput will be redirected to the program's stdio, so you don't have to trouble with sockets :) stefan > > Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation. > > best regards, > Gustavo Rios. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 14: 0:11 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 3 13:59:56 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp04.primenet.com (smtp04.primenet.com [206.165.6.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C864B37B400; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 13:59:55 -0800 (PST) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by smtp04.primenet.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA21205; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 14:55:54 -0700 (MST) Received: from usr05.primenet.com(206.165.6.205) via SMTP by smtp04.primenet.com, id smtpdAAAtFaGvP; Sun Dec 3 14:55:50 2000 Received: (from tlambert@localhost) by usr05.primenet.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA02961; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 14:59:42 -0700 (MST) From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <200012032159.OAA02961@usr05.primenet.com> Subject: Re: installing freebsd from windows nt without using boot disks To: mwm@mired.org (Mike Meyer) Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2000 21:59:42 +0000 (GMT) Cc: professional3d@home.com (xavian anderson macpherson), mwm@mired.org (Mike Meyer), questions@FreeBSD.ORG, advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG, tagdot57@aol.com, mongor@mail.com, onybear@aol.com In-Reply-To: <14888.13097.187777.80105@guru.mired.org> from "Mike Meyer" at Dec 01, 2000 05:24:25 PM X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.5 PL2] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: tlambert@usr05.primenet.com Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG xavian anderson macpherson types: > i paid for the right to whine! i still have a $60 box of software that is > nothing more than a doorstop. ironically, the only way that i may be able to > use the software on the freebsd cd's, is to buy a MICROSOFT PRODUCT aka > INTERIX.

I hate it when people who don't understand science and engineering make demands on scientists or engineers, based solely on their misperception of how the universe works. The bottom line is that no aggregate structure can be more solid than the foundations upon which it is based. That means that the best you can possibly do with a program that runs on an operating system is to make it as stable as the operationg system itself -- but no more so. So if your Windows system crashes after 43 days of continuous uptime because a 32 bit nanosecond counter has rolled over, no matter what a programmer does, they can not make their own software stay uf for more than 43 days. The "anticrash" program you reference is largely a joke on unsuspecting consumers, the same way "RAM doubler" and similar programs were a joke at the consumer's expense. Windows does not perform correct resource tracking on a large number of resources, and following an application crash, is therefore not able to recover those resources from the crashed program. Eventually, after several crashes of the program, your system will not be able to recover sufficient resources to allow it to continue to operate. If it were possible to make Windows stable to several sigmas while maintaining backward compatability, Microsoft would have done it. For all of their mistakes, and their use of new/raw graduates to work on things like APIs and other "unsexy" work, which their truly excellent programms feel is "beneath them" leading to more instabilities than necessary, Microsoft _does_ have world-class engineers working on things like stability. But realize this: the market has spoken, just as you have here, and stated that maintaining compatability with the Windows system is more important to them (just as it is more important to you to be able to run Windows programs), than stability. So they made the trade-off in favor of compatability. You have made a decision: you can no more have both Windows compatability and BSD stability simultaneously, than you can have a liter of vodka a day and keep your liver. Windows compatability _equals_ reduced stability. For more details on this, please look up the term "Mean Time Before Failure" or "MTBF", and how additive failure rates are calculated. There are kludge soloutions available. You could run FreeBSD as the primary OS, and run VMWare under FreeBSD, and host your Windows OS as a hosted OS under FreeBSD. This would keep your host OS stable, but would not increase the Windows stability; in addition, it would also mean that application interoperability between the wo environments would be reduced. In other words, you can trade integration for stability which excludes Windows itself. Beware that this approach adds the MTBF for VMWare to that of FreeBSD and Windows, for the Windows system, and the MTBF of VMWare and FreeBSD for FreeBSD. Here are a couple of other corrections to some of your other misconceptions: > THE ONLY THING THAT PREVENTED MICROSOFT FROM HAVING ABSOLUTE DOMINANCE > BEFORE, WAS IT'S LACK OF A VIABLE UNIX IMPLEMENTATION. Microsoft has had a UNIX implementation since 1982. > when MICROSOFT does with linux what freebsd did, and allows > linux to run in windows NT/2000, linux and unix will fall > under the single auspices of MICROSOFT. Linux does not "run under" FreeBSD. FreeBSD provide ABI compatability, so that _programs written for Linux_, and _not Linux itself_, can run under FreeBSD. Microsoft _already_ has this same capability: it recently acquired a company that provided Linux ABI compatability under Windows. Realize that this is limited, due to the need to integrate most desktop applications via the X protocol, but that server applications will run. As above, however, this does _not_ render the platform any more stable than if these were native Windows applications. > ONCE MICROSOFT HAS NEGATED THE ARGUEMENT OF WINDOWS VS UNIX (BY > PORTING UNIX TO WINDOWS) THERE WILL NOLONGER BE ANY ATTENTION > PAID TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN WINDOWS. NT achieved technical compliance with POSIX in 1994. Technical compliance is not the same as stability. As long as smart people are hired to make technical decisions on behalf of organizations, most technical decisions will result in a meritocracy. Technical people are not swayed by marketing, they are swayed by the results of testing and evaluations which they perform themselves. > IT WAS A HEROIC ATTEMPT AT THE PRESIDENCY, BUT MICROSOFT CONTROLS > THE ELECTION! IT'S OVER!! Luckily, Microsoft does not have the option of going to court and insisting that we count a limited subset of the whole, with rules changes on each iteration, until they get the result they want. The only court that matters is the court of the checkbook, and so long as people keep ginving money to their competitors, they will not have achieved a victory. > THE QUESTION WAS, WHEN WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO INSTALL FREEBSD > FROM WINDOWS NT WITHOUT HAVING TO USE BOOT DISKS TO DO SO. There is a _huge_ difference between "installing from" and "installing on". It's possible to solve the "installing from" problem with code. However, realize that you will not be able to utilize FreeBSD without a reboot, should the code to do the job become available to you. In general, it is unlikely that the "installing from" problem will be resolved, even though it is possible to do the work; several barriers stand in the way: o It's complex; doing complex things in a Windows programming environment, which is where the work would have to take place, is not fun, it is tedious. Because of this, if it is to occur at all, it will have to be funded. o The resulting code can not be called FreeBSD, unless the code is part of the FreeBSD project, due to constraints that have been asserted on the use of the FreeBSD trademark. Because of this, there is no method of getting ROI (Return On Investment) for anyone other than the FreeBSD project itself, short of creating another BSD distribution entirely. The FreeBSD project has not (yet) committed the funds for the work. o The value of doing the work is limited, since you would need to use a program similar to "Partition Magic" to do the repartitioning needed to reserve space for the new installation. Such products require either licensing, or parallel developement, neither of which is free. Again, the ROI equation means that such developement would have to be funded by the FreeBSD project itself. o It's really questionable whether having to reboot is an acceptable cost for getting the ability to install both systems simultaneously, if only one can run at a time, since the intent appears to be to "have the best of both worlds"; as previously discussed, this is not technically possible. At this point it is traditional to say "patches are welcomed". [ ... Interix ... ] > The claims are greatly exaggerated. The limitations are as noted previously.

The Adaptec 1520 does not have a boot ROM. I have a number of these cards: this is the same SCSI interface that ships with HP scanners, and is a truly cheap card. You can not boot from this thing. Boot from floppies, and use the "-v -c" kernel options to bring up the visual configurator, and set the iRQ and base address to the same settings as show up in the controller configuration under Windows. You will then be able to use the boot floppies to boot, and the CDROm to install from. Of course, you may not have read this far in the message, which would be your loss. > freebsd is the alien, not MS. You have a strange sense of history. Did it ever occur to you that MS incompatability with other systems is in fact gratuitous and intended as an anticompetitive practice? > when freebsd generates the code that allows NT to write to UFS Artisoft did this for Windows 95 in 1996; I was on the project. A port to Windows NT would be rather trivial, as the IFSMgr interfaces are comparable. The Windows 95 code rights are currently held by people I could put you in contact with, as they took rights in the code as part of their severance, when Artisoft's Tucson division was going under. > and UFS to write to NTFS COMPRESSED, This is a matter of code and of someone dedicating the effort to write it. I would go so far to say that, other than VOP_ABORT, it is nothing more than "grunt work". The major amount of the effort would be dealing with the log and the compression. If you are willing to provide the equipment and software I would need, and willing to put up a surety bond that I will be paid $170,000 for completing the work in no less than 3 months and no more than 6 months, I'd be willing to do the work. If you are willing to change that to $510,000, I will do it as a work-for-hire, which would mean that you would keep the rights to sell, license, or otherwise dispose of the code, since you, not I, would be the copyright holder. Realize that other limits may apply, since I would start with the read-only NTFS code that is in FreeBSD today (prices go up for a wholly independent work). My risk is that, if I do not complete the work, I do not get paid. I'm open to negotiation on timeframe and amount, of course, and would provide for a time-limited exclusivity for somewhere in the middle of the two amounts.

Well, I tried installing without checking the APM package, but the same thing happened; do I need to modify the source code itself to disable the APM option? I have another dual-boot box with a Celeron 466 aboard, so once I pull off the Linux distro, I'll try installing FBSD to that one and see what happens. Thanks again, guys, for all your feedback.

Make sure that you do not have: apm_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf. Either remove this line (apm_enable defaults to NO - see /etc/defaults/rc.conf) or set it to NO. If you do this & reboot, the microuptime stuff should stop (at least it did for me). --asp@partan.com (Andrew Partan) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 14:49:48 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 3 14:49:46 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from tomts8-srv.bellnexxia.net (tomts8.bellnexxia.net [209.226.175.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 05CC237B400 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 14:49:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from dusty.galima.2y.net ([64.229.84.85]) by tomts8-srv.bellnexxia.net (InterMail vM.4.01.03.00 201-229-121) with ESMTP id <20001203224945.GZUC27329.tomts8-srv.bellnexxia.net@dusty.galima.2y.net> for ; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 17:49:45 -0500 Received: (from cactoos@localhost) by dusty.galima.2y.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) id RAA20638 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 17:51:00 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from cactoos) Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2000 17:51:00 -0500 From: Alexander Anderson To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Resolver issues Message-ID: <20001203175100.A20490@dusty.galima.2y.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Sender: cactoos@dusty.galima.2y.net Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been having this problem for a while now, but had no luck solving it.

No. You miss the point of the new kernel build procedure in 4.0. By building the kernel with the "make buildkernel" in /usr/src as opposed to the old /usr/sbin/config in /sys/i386/conf, you ARE using the new (but not yet installed) files. This allows the new kernel to be built and booted up so that the installworld can be done under the new kernel. That is another reason to reboot to single user mode prior to doing the installworld as opposed to simple dropping into single-user mode. I think this is probably poorly understood and a good explanation (which I may have time to write some day, but not today) would clarify when you need to use buildkernel and installkernel and when you can use the faster "/sr/sbin/config CONFIG" method. Short rule of thum..If you are rebuilding because you have updated the system sources, use buildkernel and installkernel. If you are making configuration changes and rebuilding from the current sources with a different configuration, use /usr/sbin/config. R.

I have an HP LaserJet 4L attached to lpt0 on the FreeBSD machine, shared via Samba for my local Windows users to use as their printer. I've found that a header page (a single blank page) prints after each print job sent from one of the Windows machines. This didn't happen on my FreeBSD 3.3 machine; I'm using the same smb.conf file. The :sh: directive is set in /etc/printcap; I've not been able to find any helpful docs in the man pages or at samba.org; I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction... Thanks! P.S. I don't know whether a separator page prints after native print jobs; lpr file.txt results in the staircase effect, and the handy script in the printing section of the handbook simply caused the printer to print several blank pages; I haven't had time to troubleshoot... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 17:26:55 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 3 17:26:53 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from edu001hb001.edumail.vic.gov.au (edu001hb001.edumail.vic.gov.au [203.12.63.76]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9AF0E37B400 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 17:26:52 -0800 (PST) Received: from admin1 (ADMIN-1 [10.77.53.16]) by edu001hb001.edumail.vic.gov.au with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2650.21) id V4J9ZPZA; Mon, 4 Dec 2000 12:21:09 +1100 Message-ID: <00e001c05d98$c4cf8380$10354d0a@admin1> From: "Allan Dib" To: Subject: tape drive commands Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 12:20:24 +1000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hiya all, What commands are ther available for tape drives (especially backups) on a FreeBSD 4.1.1 system.

What is a reasonable value for a server system >under heavy load and what for a client, maybe a diskless one? This sets a value for the maximum number of sendfile buffers, which are essentially headers for pages that have been queued for transmit, along with a chunk of kernel virtual memory to map them. If your applications use sendfile() heavily, then this will also have the side-effect of making those [file] pages inelligble to be paged out. It is intended for tuning systems that use sendfile() heavily. I would guess that your applications don't use sendfile(), however, and thus tuning the above will have no effect except to wastefully allocate a lot of kernel virtual memory for something that isn't used. Unless you know what you are doing, you should not set this option in your kernel config file. Since you are setting it (and to the value that is in the LINT kernel config file), this brings up the obvious question of what other LINT options you have turned on.

I am trying to get some linux programs to work under my installation of FreeBSD but I am having some troubles. I have already tried getting linux apps to work and have even followed advice from others with no success. To summarise, I have already tried the following: * When Installing FreeBSD I said "Yes" to the question "Would you like to have linux compatibility". This then installed some compatibility libraries which I assume are all the librararies that are needed. * After installation I checked the /usr/compat/linux/ shadow directories and saw that there wer lots of directories that were ther. I looked in /usr/compat/linux/lib and saw that there were lots of linux libraries there. * Next I edited the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file and added LINUX_ENABLE="YES". I thought that this was a bit strange that it said no to start with because I had asked for linux compatibility during install. * I rebooted and did "kldstat". I expected to see the linux module but I did not. I am running a recent version of FreeBSD (dated About June this year and purchased as FreeBSD Toolkit v5). I am thinking that maybe the linux compatibility module is now statically linked to the kernel. Is this correct? I wasnt sure so I tried typing "linux" as the handbook advised but it said that this module was unknown. * Anyway, after assuming that the linux compatibility is statically linked, I then tried to install a few linux apps to see what would happen. I got StarOffice3.1 to install and I got Wingz (spreadsheet) to install. When I tried to execute these programs they both gave me the results "/lib/libname not found" (I cant remember the exact name of the library but it did exist in the linux shadow library directory). I realised that the program was still looking for where linux keeps its modules. I therefore created a /lib directory and copied the linux modules from the /usr/compat/linux/lib directory and then tried to run the app. I got "segmentation fault core dumped". * I then consulted the manual again and it said that I should put the binaries (Wingz and swriter etc) into the /usr/compat/linux/lib directory and run them from there. This did not work - it just said "/lib/libname not found". Is ther anything else I can try to get this to work? Have I made a mistake in setting up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It explains a *lot* of the basics of configuring/running FreeBSD. Or, if your BSD machine is running somewhat, and you have lynx or something like that installed, look in /usr/share/doc/handbook. There's an html version of it there. You can also go to ftp.freebsd.org (or mirror site) and get it in .PDF format, among others. --HTH -- --Andy Rowland Grand River Network andy@tigertown.k12.mo.us rowland@lyn.net > From: Matthew Peacock > Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 12:26:31 +1000 > To: "Freebsd (E-mail)" > Subject: Help with documentation > > Hello, > > I am new to FreeBSD and I recently purchased a FreeBSD toolkit that includes > a CD with the entire web pages and CVS repository on it.

[previously running Win95] Basically I have 2 cards - A 3Com 589D ethernet and an old USR 28.8 Sportster. Both work independently, i.e., I can insert the 3Com card, do network activity, then remove it and insert in the sportster and connect via cu, but when I try to have both in at the same time, I run into problems. A log of events is shown at the bottom of this mail. I've tried all sorts of configurations, swapping ports, ordering, checking the 'irq' line in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf, which is really confusing me. After enough inserting, reinstering, killing and restarting pccard with different configurations, I once managed to get them both working, but to test, I rebooted and was back to the square one again. I used FreeBSD since 2.2.5, but this is my first experience with running PCMCIA devices and using it on laptops in general - can anyone throw any pointers as to what's going on?

What commands are there to format > tapes / retension etc...\ % man mt Can't help much more as you don't really give us much to go on. Such as what kind of tape is it? Tape drive? Interface? Are you sure FreeBSD recognizes the device? If so, what device name did you try with tar? And what about tar was less than 100% successful? Was it 95%? Or 0%? And what are you trying to backup? User files? Or the whole enchilada? DDS (DAT), 8mm, and others, do not need or have a "format" required before their use. In addition to tar there are two other utilities commonly used for backup, dump and pax. If you want the best possible backup of your system then I recommend using dump from single user mode. In single user mode you'd do something like this: # mt -t /dev/nsa0 rewind # dump 0af /dev/nsa0 / # mount -ro /var # dump 0af /dev/nsa0 /var # mount -ro /usr # dump 0af /dev/nsa0 /usr ... Having a backup/dump of the entire system is nice to have. However a backup of /etc, /var, and /home, results in most all of the important stuff which is not on the CDROM. These filesystems (or directories) archive with tar very easily. A snapshot on a running system is usually perfectly satisfactory. But first you have to figure out what your other problem is. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Make a small DOS (Fat16) partition at the beginning of the drive, and use Boot Manager to boot to your required system from there. As you are already on the limit of 4 partitions, to adopt this fix you would have to delete one of the existing ones - perhaps you could manage without P3? That 4-partition (ONE of which can be extended) limitation is a PAIN. It is the reason I use 2 8M drives rather than 1 16M drive. -- Regards, Brian ******************************************************** Dr Brian Astill Visiting Research Fellow Flinders University Institute of International Education ******************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 21: 6: 8 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 3 21:06:07 2000 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mailhost01.reflexnet.net (mailhost01.reflexnet.net [64.6.192.82]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 074FD37B400 for <questions@freebsd.org>; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 21:06:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from 149.211.6.64.reflexcom.com ([64.6.211.149]) by mailhost01.reflexnet.net with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.5.1877.197.19); Sun, 3 Dec 2000 21:03:38 -0800 Received: (from cjc@localhost) by 149.211.6.64.reflexcom.com (8.11.0/8.11.0) id eB4559044023; Sun, 3 Dec 2000 21:05:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from cjc) Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2000 21:05:09 -0800 From: "Crist J .

The user's /etc/master.passwd entry has nothing in the login class field, so the default class should be in effect. However, on this system, upon login, $MAIL is always set to /var/mail/userid. Yet $FOO is set to bar, so something strange is going on. I have ruled out the possibility of post-login scripts like .cshrc interfering. There is nothing in ~/.* referring to /var/mail. There is nothing in /etc/* referring to /var/mail. I also ruled out the shell; the user's login shell is /bin/tcsh, nothing too unusual. I tried with /bin/sh and got the same results. So how is $MAIL becoming /var/mail/userid? It's especially puzzling becasue I can't duplicate the problem on a fresh installation of FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE with vanilla sendmail. The exact same login.conf entry is processed just fine, and $MAIL is the absolute path to the user's Mailbox file in their home directory, just as I intended. 'strings /usr/bin/login | fgrep mail' reveals that /var/mail is compiled into login(1), but big deal.. the 4.2-RELEASE system has the exact same binary (I checked). Any ideas?

I managed to be able to play music on such an old machine with starting mpg123 with the -2 option and lots of buffering. But on the other hand, I had to start X with it also.

I was wondering what it would take to setup a cluster array of servers to process CPU intensive tasks? I run game servers and wonder if it would be viable or even feasable to get some high power Dual Processor boxes and set them up in a cluster configuration. I run some pretty hefty game servers and they are processor intensive. We can push Dual 933s and Dual 800s to max. In addition, we use a LOT of bandwidth. Any help or push in the right direction would be appreciated.

No, that's what the "buildkernel" target is for. It uses the binaries built (but not installed) by buildworld to build the kernel. This is why you need to use buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld when upgrading the sources, but can use config/make depend/make/make install when rebuilding a kernel from installed sources. <mike > > FreeBSD - The BEST upgrade you can do to NT! > > On Sat, 2 Dec 2000, Kevin Oberman wrote: > > > > Date: Sat, 02 Dec 2000 09:40:38 +0800 > > > From: Spades <spades@galaxynet.org> > > > Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > > > > > I installed a 30G hard drive and cvsup'd to 4.2-Stable > > > When i do top , i get this below > > > > > > $ top > > > top: nlist failed > > > > As other have reported, userland and the kernel are out of sync.

I don't see a reasonable way to do this if you are thinking about using the builtin "history" mechanism of the shells. At least not without hacking the source code of each shell. The history mechanisms are there for exploitation by the user, not the administrator, and therefore are easy for the user to monitor and to change. One possibility is to use the builtin accounting functionality. See accton(8), sa(8), lastcomm(1), and acct(5) for more information. This would be a reasonable solution for usage statitics and very basic security monitoring (on unsophisticated users). None of these options is practical for comprehensive security auditing. I can't tell from your brief mail what your intentions are. -- Crist J.

I'm having a problem trying to create a vinum configuration and I'm hoping you can help. Please read on. I have a 4.2-RELEASE system with, amoung other things, a Compaq SMART-2 RAID adapter in it. Due to the collection of old hard drives I had sitting around the system has the following drives available in fbsd... /dev/idad0 = 4GB Drive /dev/idad1 = 4GB Drive /dev/idad2 = 6.1GB Drive /dev/idad3 = 2GB Drive As those device names indicate these are not physical drives but logical drives looked after by the Compaq SMART-2 controller. I won't bore you with the physical details of each of those logical drives but if you think it's relevant I'll be happy to supply the information. The fbsd system is installed on idad0 which leaves the other drives free. So I'd prefer to have 1 x 12GB drive then a collection of 1 x 4GB, 1 x 6GB and 1 x 2GB drives. Enter vinum. I am hoping to be able to make a logical drive across those drives to provide the one drive setup. Redundancy is not important to me (it's provided at hardware level) so a concat setup is good. Now the problem. I have previously used vinum before (on a 3.4-RELEASE system) and going through the file /var/tmp/vinum_history tells me this is what I did to create a vinum drive previously... 5 Mar 2000 17:13:11.885224 stripe -v /dev/da0s1e /dev/da1s1e 5 Mar 2000 17:19:10.085026 ? 5 Mar 2000 17:19:11.869790 help 5 Mar 2000 17:19:24.079413 saveconfig 5 Mar 2000 17:19:27.479321 start 5 Mar 2000 17:19:28.719768 *** Created devices *** 5 Mar 2000 17:19:56.568246 quit ... and after doing that the configuration ran without a hitch for 7 months. Now when I try the similiar command it fails. Following are the details of the failure. I have the following partitions setup (by using disklabel -e)... # disklabel /dev/idad1s1 <snip> 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 8380288 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1026*) e: 8380288 0 vinum # (Cyl. 0 - 1026*) # disklabel /dev/idad2s1 <snip> 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 12656128 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1550*) e: 12656128 0 vinum # (Cyl. 0 - 1550*) # disklabel /dev/idad3s1 <snip> 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 4096544 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 505*) e: 4096544 0 vinum # (Cyl. 0 - 505*) # vinum vinum -> printconfig # Vinum configuration of hostx.domain.com, saved at Mon Dec 4 19:44:52 2000 vinum -> concat -v /dev/idad1s1e /dev/idad2s1e /dev/idad2s1e volume vinum0 plex name vinum0.p0 org concat drive vinumdrive0 device /dev/idad1s1e Can't create drive vinumdrive0, device /dev/idad1s1e: Invalid argument (22) vinum -> quit # tail /var/log/messages <snip> Dec 4 19:45:40 hostx /kernel: vinum: vinum0.p0 is up Dec 4 19:45:40 hostx /kernel: vinum: vinum0 is up I have done a bit of searching through the usual mailing list archives and newsgroups to find that this error usually means that the partitions in question have not been labelled as type vinum. Surely this isn't the case here. So next I am wondering does vinum have a problem with the fact that the drives in question are not physical drives by logical drives themselves? Given the fact that vinum can make RAID-10 configurations (a logical drive built on a logical drive) surely this isn't the case as well...? Please, any ideas? I'm stumped.

Or, maybe, there > exists some better solution? Yup, I ran into it the first time I wanted to use a BSD that supported multiple group memberships in a commercial environment. We wanted ~100s of groups per user. Contemplating the effect that changing NGROUPS_MAX to that would have on kernel memory usage made me go look for a better solution (and I found one). It exists for the same reason hard limits exist in so many other places - because Unix was written when machines were much smaller and slower (I was once at a site that ran into a bug with Unix if you put more than 256K or so in a machine), and it was faster and more space efficient just to set up a hard limit than to implement a linked list for this case. It's still there because nobody who has the time, inclination and talent to fix it has ever been hit by the limit in such a way as to make fixing it a reasonable solution. Which begs the question - why do you need so many groups? There may be a better solution to the problem that's causing that than kernel groups. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.

You should try loading it by hand, though. Try running "/sbin/kldload linux", then check the console error messages. If Linux is already already loaded, it will say "module linux already present" or words to that effect. If it's wasn't loaded, and the module exists, that will load it for you. If you can't get it loaded, you won't be able to get them to run. Care to provide the exact text of the message you got from running "linux"?

Um - if you have the linux module loaded, it will check /compat/linux/lib before it checks /lib.

According to ATI rech support, this card is VESA-compliant - but FreeBSD doesn't recognise it as such. I searched the mailing list archives, and found > /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/vesa.c, line 680: > if ((vmode.v_modeattr & (V_MODEOPTINFO | V_MODENONVGA)) > != (V_MODEOPTINFO)) > continue; > > The v_modeattr returned by ATI VESA bios has V_MODENONVGA bit set, > so all the vesa modes are ommited... so I hacked this code to ignore the V_MODENONVGA flag. This was only partially successful: I now get some VESA stuff being printed upon boot, but still can't use any of the VESA modes. I also found someone who has the an ATI Rage Mobility in a Dell Inspiron laptop, who claims to have no problem with the VESA modes. Has anyone else got such a chipset, and if so, have they had any luck with using VESA modes with syscons?

First let me set your mind at ease, I have a very good understanding of computer hardware, software, and configuration from all the way through MSDOS 3.23 through Win 2000 Pro and have classroom experience recently with Unix System Administrator Course (Free BSD). Hopefully you should not have to start with did you turn the computer on question..... Anyway, The following is a list of my hardware, current O/S and synopsis of what I have done and what the result was: Hardware: ASUS P2B-F AGP Mainboard & Award Bios Intel Pentium II, 350mhz Celeron 128MB 168 pin DIMM Memory module 18Gbyte Hardrive space (3 Physical Drives) Matrox Millenium G200 8MB SGRAM AGP TEAC CD-524E IDE CDROM Drive Matsushita CW-7582 IDE CDR Drive IOMEGA Zip 250 Stdrd 3.5" Floppy Drive Current O/S: Win 2000 Professional V 5.00.2195 Synopsis of events undertaken: Action: Modified BIOS to allow CDROM Boot Result: Would not boot from CDROM gave the following error: "CDROM Boot Failure" Actions Taken: Read all txt files in the FreeBSD CDROM Root, Floppies, tools directories, and and followed instructions on setting up boot floppies as follows: Step 1. Modified BIOS to allow CDROM Boot: Received the following symptom: "CDROM Boot Failure" Step 2. Formatted floppies from in Win 2000 Pro utilizing the makeflp.exe located in FreeBSD CDROM Root, and it asked for 1 disk for the kern.flp and one for mfsroot.flp and the process completed with no problems. Step 3. Transferred image files from in Win 2000 Pro by running the FDimage.exe file to transfer image files of the kern and mfsroot .flp files to each of their respective disks. There were no errors displayed. Step 4. Re-Modified BIOS to boot primarily from A : Drive. Step 5. Put Floppy with Kern.flp into floppy drive and rebooted computer. Received the following symptoms: Disk Error 0x10 (lba=0xd8) Invalid Format >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0:a)/kernel boot: No /kernel >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0:a)/kernel boot: NOTE: Cursor left flashing immediately following second "boot:" and no further action from computer. Step 6. Started at Step 1 again and retried each step, resulting in identical results. I am assuming that by the errors given that my computer will not support booting from CDROM, and the boot process could not find the kernel on the floppy disk, but I did not receive any errors when transferring the image file. Can you provide me some assistance? I am sure there is something that I have overlooked, or did incorrectly and greatly appreciate what ever assistance you can provide. Thanks in advance and look forward to your response.

I am shortly going to be in the luxurious position of being able to afford a new computer :) My budget is fairly limited, but so are my needs. I want to ask BSD experts about tradeoffs in cost (I am familiar with these for Linux, I want to see if the same kinds of things hold true for BSD). - My disk space requirements are modest, and I have lots of space on other computers i can get at through NFS. Would it be better therefore to invest in SCSI hardware at the cost of lower processing power ? - Advice on a good reasonable price motherboard would be appreciated. - I require good graphics capabilities, again what tradeoff price wise should I make here against processor/memory costs. - Will I discernibly benefit from 256 MB ram as opposed to 128 ? The machine will be in use all the time, but traffic volumes will be low. One of the problems with only getting this information from hardware compatibility lists is of course the question "do all these things work together ?". Any tips and hints will be gratefully appreciated. Oh since I live in Holland dollar prices don't mean that much, everything electronic is much dearer here than in the states. I imagine comparitive prices are much the same though. thanks Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 4 2:39:26 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 4 02:39:24 2000 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from gekko.i-clue.de (server.ms-agentur.de [62.153.134.194]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AC44437B400 for <questions@FreeBSD.ORG>; Mon, 4 Dec 2000 02:39:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from i-clue.de (automatix.i-clue.de [192.168.0.112]) by gekko.i-clue.de (8.9.3/8.9.3/SuSE Linux 8.9.3-0.1) with ESMTP id MAA18690; Mon, 4 Dec 2000 12:44:28 +0100 Message-ID: <3A2B7491.8040502@i-clue.de> Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 11:40:17 +0100 From: Christoph Sold <so@server.i-clue.de> User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001130 X-Accept-Language: de, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "Alex O.Belkin" <belka@co.ru> Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Hello!!!

Alex, I have redirected your question to FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.org. It is the place to ask common questions about FreeBSD. To start any application automatically at boot time, write a short shell script named <appName.sh>, make it executable and owned by root, and drop it into /usr/loca/etc/rc.d/.

I am having a problem with the MAIL environment variable. This is on a FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE system that was upgraded from 4.1-STABLE. We have installed and are running qmail on this system, in place of sendmail. Mail is stored in a Mailbox file in each user's home directory, rather than /var/mail. Therefore, I want to have the MAIL environment variable for all users point to this file rather than /var/mail/userid. I have edited the default class in /etc/login.conf so that the setenv line reads: :setenv=MAIL=~/Mailbox,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES,FOO=bar:\ And I have run cap_mkdb to regenerate the database. The user's /etc/master.passwd entry has nothing in the login class field, so the default class should be in effect. However, on this system, upon login, $MAIL is always set to /var/mail/userid. Yet $FOO is set to bar, so something strange is going on. I have ruled out the possibility of post-login scripts like .cshrc interfering. There is nothing in ~/.* referring to /var/mail. There is nothing in /etc/* referring to /var/mail. I also ruled out the shell; the user's login shell is /bin/tcsh, nothing too unusual. I tried with /bin/sh and got the same results. So how is $MAIL becoming /var/mail/userid? It's especially puzzling becasue I can't duplicate the problem on a fresh installation of FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE with vanilla sendmail. The exact same login.conf entry is processed just fine, and $MAIL is the absolute path to the user's Mailbox file in their home directory, just as I intended. 'strings /usr/bin/login | fgrep mail' reveals that /var/mail is compiled into login(1), but big deal.. the 4.2-RELEASE system has the exact same binary (I checked). Any ideas?

(Please bear with me, I tend to be a bad writer, usually it's pretty hard to follow what I'm trying to say ..) FYI, I have GUS MAX (CS4231) non-pnp. So. My problem is the pcm0 channel dead problem, but with the following difference to other cases: What I understood, many others have upgraded from 3.x to 4-STABLE, and have had problems with CS423x newpcm. I upgraded from 4.0-stable from mid-april, to 4.2-RELEASE, and newpcm stopped working. What has been changed between 4.0 and 4.2? I tried several things, and finally even used the same kernel configuration file in 4.2 than in 4.0, and all that I get with newpcm, is a perfectly detected card, (same messages as in 4.0) but when I try to play mpg123, the first time I get 1 message "pcm0 int" etc. (see the subject) if i try to play another song with mpg123, I get "cannot open /dev/dsp". After I got too pissed off, (48 hours straight, including 3 make worlds, i upgraded from sources, and at least 15 custom kernels.. god I love it :) I deciced to give a classic a try: VOXWARE SAVED THE DAY !!! (Woohoo) Indeed, Voxware works. I changed absolutely nothing, i use the same drq's, same irq and the only difference is that voxware works and newpcm doesn't. The bad thing is that voxware tends to "lose sync" randomly when playing mp3's: sound quality drops dramatically and sounds like there would be static. Stopping the playing and starting fxtv and stopping fxtv resolves the problem. FWIW, my pc configuration (i dont have dmesg output at work, sorry): GUS MAX 512k isa Hauppauge WinTV PCI + remote Abit HotRod Pro ATA100 controller (at pci) samsung 30g ata100 disk seagate 6 g ata66 disk intel chipset atapi cd-rom on motherboard's ata33 controller matrox millennium I pci and of course a network card, realtek 8029. Does anyone have any other solution than downgrade newpcm sources back to 4.0? ------ Jukkis --------------------------------------------------- Get free personalized email at http://www.iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 4 4:52:30 2000 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 4 04:52:28 2000 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.rz.uni-ulm.de (sirius-giga.rz.uni-ulm.de [134.60.241.36]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7E33637B401 for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Mon, 4 Dec 2000 04:52:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from lilith (lilith.wohnheim.uni-ulm.de [134.60.106.64]) by mail.rz.uni-ulm.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id NAA27841; Mon, 4 Dec 2000 13:52:18 +0100 (MET) Message-ID: <000d01c05df1$0df90920$4011a8c0@wohnheim.uniulm.de> From: "Siegbert Baude" <Siegbert.Baude@gmx.de> To: "Dan R.

I can╢t check exactly anymore, as I have nowadays only SCSI-CDROM in it. The clue was that the BIOS will magically turn the bootable CD into a "floppy" so the boot order had to be "CDROM,A,C" (can╢t remember exactly if it was maybe "A,CDROM,C"). For the problem with the boot floppies: I always avoided the DOS-tools, as I had problems with them. Look for the next UNIX-machine and use dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/<whatever_your_floppy_is_there> That worked 100%. If not try different floppies, the ones sold nowadays are crappy in a high percentage.

The symptoms were as follows: the stack still answered pings, though no network services were available, the console driver allowed switching virtual consoles, but after typing "root" at "login:" prompt no "Password:" prompt appeared, no disk activity was observable. The logs showed nothing, except that the last syslog entry and the last squid log entry were separated by several seconds. It would seem that different procceses stopped or were killed at roughly the same time. No kernel messages were on the console. The machine is a 3.4-RELEASE + tcp-iss patch running named, postfix, squid. Ipfilter is installed. The time is kept by ntpdate which accidentally or not adjusted the time several seconds before the lockup. The box locked up solid at midnight and was no better nine hours later when it was reset. Ctrl-Alt-Del did not reboot it. Does anybody have any ideas as to what may have caused it ? I would very much like to avoid the repetition of the problem as many people are heavily dependant on this box.

Our current configuration is that > every user possesses a group with same name. You're right - 21 isn't many. But that number will change every time you add a user, and your solution to the problem doesn't scale well. I think that's the real reason this hasn't been changed - solutions that depend on the user being a member of one or more groups don't scale well, so they tend to be avoided. If the goal is really to keep other users from reading each others accounts, while letting you read them, I'd suggest that that's pretty much what root access was meant for. If that bothers you, you can set up sudo to let you su to a specific user id without going through a root shell. If you feel like doing some coding, a set of shell commands that hook into the acl interface could be used, and would probably be something that the community as a whole would appreciate. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.

Does FreeBSD's asr driver support Adaptec Raid controllers: 2100S, 3200S and 3400S? 2. Which brand is better, Mylex or Adaptec? I've heard that Mylex's AcceleRaid 352 is extremely good. 3. Anyone has Intel Baytown motherboard with on-board SCSI controller? Anyone knows what type of card that is? Thanks in advance for your help.
