I think you've just discovered you need a firewall... As an immediate action, look into ipwf (if you're running 2.1.5 or up - it's much improved since 2.1.0). Use it to block out things you don't need. Then, especially if you have a network of machines to protect, build a firewall. It is pretty easy to do. I recommend reading: Firewalls and Internet Security by Cheswick and Bellovin (ISBN: 0-201-63357-4), published by Addison-Wesley. It is a bit old, but *very* well written, built upon real world experience, and has pointers to free firewall resources on the 'net. One of the great motos of this book (and many others on security) is: Don't let anyone from the outside even get at your sendmail. Sendmail is far too complex to be bug-free, and the Bad Guys will use those bugs. The TIS firewall toolikit (it's in the ports collection) has a wrapper for sendmail (made of two programs: smap and smapd). > > Please Help ! > > Thanks > Tim- > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > Timothy P.

If you don't have an IDE disk on your system there are two options: 1. Get one (it can be any old scrap metal that speaks IDE). 2. Use a SCSI CDROM (I assume that you're using SCSI for your hard disks if you don't have EIDE disks). > > I also had a try of mount, and a msg 'device not configured' returned. > > // Donny > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 20 08:41:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA26817 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 08:41:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id IAA26812 for ; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 08:41:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nadav@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.7.5/8.6.12) id RAA12895; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 17:40:52 +0200 (IST) Date: Sun, 20 Oct 1996 17:40:52 +0200 (IST) From: Nadav Eiron To: Donny Lee cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Rebuilding a new kernel.

Basicly, the answer is yes. Note, however, that you need to be sure of what you need and what not. Read through LINT (and Installing and Running FreeBSD if you have that). Some devices (for example ether, loop, npx) should *not* be removed. Removing things you don't need will make your kernel smaller. > > 2) What's good and bad if, for example, I comment out those > scsi devices except the one fits my scsi card? Good: The kernel will be smaller and it will not probe for devices you don't have (though you can get that effect by just disabling the probe on the devices). This means that you'll have more memory free for useful stuff, and the machine will boot faster (device probes are very time-consuming). Bad: Very little I guess. If you add cards, you'll have to make a new kernel, but I guess people aren't changing their SCSI controller that frequently.

Sorry, missed the orig. message. My first step would be to contact the postmaster(s) responsible for the source of the trouble, and if it continues after that message, look at setting up a firewall at some downstream router (possibly your gateway, if you have access to it) As an aside, does anyone know anything about a mail faker (seemingly a bulk mail faker) which leaves its signature as `Homicide' in the message ID field? Hosts under my control have been attacked at least twice with this, the mail going somwhere else (perhaps fortunately), but using one of the local servers as a first (supposedly untraceable) hop.

I've done it a few times with different bits of hardware, so I may be able to help, but I'm no guru... Thing 1: You have some sort of natty diamond stealth card, which I know nothing about. Go through the READMEs and the hardware manual to find out what the graphics chip in the card is (S3?) and if the precise card is supported by XFree or if the card can do 100% emulation of some other card which is supported. Thing 2: Get the right server. Probably XF86_S3, if the card isn't supported, you'll be stuck with XF86_VGA16. Thing 3: crank up xf86config Thing 4: If that isn't cooking, e-mail me with the X start-up output and a copy of your XF86Config, and I'll see if I can make anything of it. One of the machines I eventually failed to get going with any sort of worthwhile graphics had a Diamond card in it. They seem to change models about every 20 minutes. That card (some sort of PCI thing) was too new for XFree to have caught up with it, but too old for Diamond to produce NT drivers... :-( Regards, John -- Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens. finger jbrann@panix.com for pgp public key From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 20 09:38:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA29637 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 09:38:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from diablo.ppp.de (diablo.ppp.de [193.141.101.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA29630 for ; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 09:38:41 -0700 (PDT) From: Greg Lehey Received: from freebie.lemis.de by diablo.ppp.de with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #1) id m0vF0ta-000QoyC; Sun, 20 Oct 96 17:38 MET Received: (grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.de (8.8.2/8.6.12) id SAA13263; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 18:11:14 +0200 (MET DST) Organisation: LEMIS, Schellnhausen 2, 36325 Feldatal, Germany Phone: +49-6637-919123 Fax: +49-6637-919122 Message-Id: <199610201611.SAA13263@freebie.lemis.de> Subject: Re: Missing disk space In-Reply-To: <9610170927.AA18514@iworks.InterWorks.org> from "Daniel M.

Good question. I can think of several possibilities: 1. You used it up, and du is lying. 2. You have a broken file system, and for some reason you haven't performed an fsck on the file system since it happened. 3. (Most likely). You have data on the root file system in /usr or /opt/*. When you mount the corresponding file system, this data is no longer accessible, but it's still there, and it can been seen on NFS mounts. I'd suggest going into single user mode (only / mounted) and doing an fsck. Then check with du again. I suspect that you'll find different results. To go into single user mode, you should be able to say 'shutdown now', but that will almost invariably leave /usr mounted and not dismountable. It's easier to reboot and specify the -s option to the Boot: prompt.

Is there a built-in way for MS Mail to query a UNIX box with Microsoft Networks? I use the Samba server on my FreeBSD-2.1.5 UNIX firewall/gateway for everything else like file and print sharing, if that helps any. As an alternative, is there a freeware/public domain/shareware/cheap SMTP client for Windows 95?

Sorry, I don't know. The reason I'm replying to this message is to suggest that you avoid using mailers that mail in non-standard formats. I see this message was written with Microsoft Exchange (how did you get it to the real world?), and your first paragraph came out as a single line with 500 characters. This happens very frequently with Microsoft mailers, and like badly transmitted faxes, it makes the sender look stupid without him necessarily recognizing the fact. This may be a configuration problem, but as I said, it happens often enough. These problems don't seem to happen with UNIX mailers.

The file system code *was* buggy, and a write to an MS-DOS file system could cause file system corruption. I don't know if it's still the case--maybe somebody else can comment--but you should know the potential risks of writing to DOS file systems.

I think you've summed it up quite nicely: if the machine is designed to run with one SIMM, as 486s are, but Linux doesn't run, then it's probably a hardware problem. Under those circumstances, FreeBSD almost certainly would not run either.

I can't resolve a problem related to vt100 (I think) so I'd better spell it out. Yes I know there's hideous problems with different ideas of vt100 but any near approximation of success would be miraculous at this stage. What I want to do: Telnet (or dial even) in to my shell account and use apps there, like I used to do from DOS dial-in or win/os2 PPP-telnet. What I'm working with: The ISP runs Linux, I'm set up there as vt100 and that seems necessary for things like pine, lynx, irc, joe, tin, etc to work. My shell on the linux system is bash, and here it's tcsh, but I'm happy to use any shell. I'm not using xwindows at all but would consider beating my ancient monitor into submission to do so if and only if it's the only way to achieve a real solution. (Text mode is easier on the eyes.) UserPPP seems to be working fine straight out of the handbook/faq. The same apps (joe editor, lynx, tin, pine, ircII) work fine if I run my own copy here, which I don't want to do. What happens: Whether I use telnet or minicom, it's hopeless. Strange characters dancing all over the screen, bits of display moved to other areas of the screen, typed characters not displaying, deleted characters remaining, and cursor keys, control keys, etc have wildly unpredictable results. This is not at all surprising since my end says it's "cons25" (whatever that is!). But when I changed it to vt100 there was a difference but no improvement. And my local stuff like mc and lynx didn't work right any more. My local stuff does work find with cons25 however. How did I change to vt100? Aaah... I dunno. I read _every_word_ I could find, whether I understood it or not, and did what it said. About a dozen times, different ways. I also logged in as root and answered the question with "vt100" and didn't have success either. I could change some things at the linux end (after another 20 hrs of reading a different set of man pages) but I doubt that'd address the problem. My ISP would help, given a suitably framed request. Could someone please tell me what to do? I've had a fortnight of trying my own half-educated guesses. Now I'd like a recipe that works. [whine, pout] I probably need to understand a bit more about changing terminal emulations and so on too. I can point you to a dozen man pages which I have thoroughly read and claim to tell me different lies about the same things, different commands to achieve the same results but the outcomes worded differently. That must indicate both lack of understanding and need for a starting point, an overview of how this screen stuff is put into effect. RTFM was all I needed for solo DOS and VMS, but here I do the right thing again and freebsd laughs in my face. Maybe I expect more this time around :-) Regards, -*Sue*- Regards, -*Sue*- Internet: sue@welearn.com.au Fidonet: 3:712/404 Modem: +61-2-665-2917 Solids: Sue Blake, PO Box K73, Haymarket NSW 2000, Australia http://www.welearn.com.au/ Learning and teaching together http://www.welearn.com.au/srcc/ Strathfield College From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 20 09:46:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA00485 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 09:46:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ms1.hinet.net (donny@ms1.hinet.net [168.95.4.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA00473 for ; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 09:46:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from donny@localhost) by ms1.hinet.net (8.7.5/8.7.5) id AAA12709; Mon, 21 Oct 1996 00:43:19 +0800 (CST) Message-Id: <199610201643.AAA12709@ms1.hinet.net> From: donny@ms1.hinet.net (Donny Lee) To: Nadav Eiron Cc: Donny Lee , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Rebuilding a new kernel.

I'm running Apache 1.1.1 on two FreeBSD 2.1.5 Release mahines. One works Just Fine, the other will not run any CGI scripts. When I attempt to run a CGI script I get: /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/test-cgi: Can't open /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/test-cgi [Sun Oct 20 17:51:18 1996] access to /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/test-cgi failed for scully.barcode.co.il, reason: Premature end of script headers Working through mod_cgi.c with gdb I got to the following (possibly incorrect :->) conclusions: 1. The child process that should run the script gets spawned O.K. The exec that should execute the script works too (at least it doesn't return). 2. The fgets that the server does to get the output on the script's stdout returnd NULL. 3. Even if I put printf's in the code before the exec, giving output on stdout beforethe script gets exec'ed, the parent doesn't seem to read it. I'm sure it's something trivial (I have a similar configuration working) just don't know what it is. It looks as if the pipe between the parent and child is broken (but the pipe() call does not return any errors). Thanks for any advice anyone might have for me. Nadav P.S. Already tried reinstalling, copying the conf directory from the working machine, fiddling with security settings etc., to no avail.

Considering that I use `su' daily for remote maintaince, I believe the problem is to do with your configuration. Try using `su -m' instead, and insuring that `/sbin' and `/usr/sbin' are in your path.

I never experienced problems with the DOS-FS since 2.0 (even using from time to time a vnode'd swap space on a file in the DOS partition. :-) I think the problem indeed persists with FIPSed partitions (slices, to be correct). (The mail did not "sound" like FIPS.) Please, anyone correct me, but mounting a DOS-FS could -- under certain circumstances -- corrupt the BSD-FS !?!?

My dialup ISP is to a Unix shell account, and dialing thru a FreeBSD system causes all sorts of strange display problems. Most notably, editing and fullscreen displays are next to impossible. (The Pine mailer editor "pico" would work, but vi wouldn't.) I found there are two solutions: recompile your kernel to use the pcvt console driver (which gives FreeBSD a vt100 look), or have your dialup speak cons25 thru updating your termcap/terminfo information. At the time, I elected to go the termcap/terminfo route. In retrospect, I'm not sure if this has a lower learning curve than pcvt. No matter, as here is what I did. My ISP is netcom.com, running SunOS. Dialup shell account. I uploaded the termcap entry from my BSD box to netcom. I ran that termcap entry thru "infocmp" (see man pages) to produce a SunOS recognizable terminfo entry. Then use "tic" to compile this terminfo entry. Modify your .profile/.cshrc to have the following: export TERMCAP=$HOME/termcap export TERMINFO=$HOME/tic export TERM=cons25 On your ISP, you should be able to do something reasonable now. You may have to download the man pages to your BSD box in order to be able to look at them (remember, ISP fullscreen apps are hosed). You can look at downloaded manpages with "nroff -man thisfile | less" on your BSD box. This is the termcap entry I'm using on netcom (SunOS): ------------------------------------------------------------------- cons25|ansis|ansi80x25:\ :am:bw:eo:ms:bs:pt:\ :co#80:li#25:kn#5:\ :AL=\E[%dL:DC=\E[%dP:DL=\E[%dM:DO=\E[%dB:IC=\E[%d@:\ :LE=\E[%dD:RI=\E[%dC:SF=\E[%dS:UP=\E[%dA:al=\E[L:\ :bt=\E[Z:cd=\E[J:ce=\E[K:ch=\E[%i%d`:cl=\E[H\E[J:\ :cm=\E[%i%d;%dH:cv=\E[%i%dd:dc=\E[P:dl=\E[M:ho=\E[H:\ :ic=\E[@:k1=\E[M:k2=\E[N:k3=\E[O:k4=\E[P:k5=\E[Q:\ :k6=\E[R:k7=\E[S:k8=\E[T:k9=\E[U:kb=\b:kd=\E[B:\ :kh=\E[H:kl=\E[D:kr=\E[C:ku=\E[A:nd=\E[C:se=\E[m:\ :so=\E[7m:sr=\E[T:up=\E[A:nl=\E[B:ko=bt,do,nd,up,ho: ------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the terminfo entry (again, SunOS): ------------------------------------------------------------------- cons25|ansis|ansi80x25, am, bw, eo, msgr, npc, cols#80, it#8, lines#25, bel=^G, blink=\E[5m, bold=\E[1m, cbt=\E[Z, clear=\E[H\E[J, cr=\r, cub=\E[%p1%dD, cub1=\b, cud=\E[%p1%dB, cud1=\E[B, cuf=\E[%p1%dC, cuf1=\E[C, cup=\E[%i%p1%d;%p2%dH, cuu=\E[%p1%dA, cuu1=\E[A, dch=\E[%p1%dP, dch1=\E[P, dim=\E[30;1m, dl=\E[%p1%dM, dl1=\E[M, ech=\E[%p1%dX, ed=\E[J, el=\E[K, el1=\E[1K, home=\E[H, hpa=\E[%i%p1%d`, ht=\t, ich=\E[%p1%d@, ich1=\E[@, il=\E[%p1%dL, il1=\E[L, ind=\E[S, indn=\E[%p1%dS, kb2=\E[E, kbs=\b, kcbt=\E[Z, kcub1=\E[D, kcud1=\E[B, kcuf1=\E[C, kcuu1=\E[A, kend=\E[F, kf1=\E[M, kf10=\E[V, kf11=\E[W, kf12=\E[X, kf2=\E[N, kf3=\E[O, kf4=\E[P, kf5=\E[Q, kf6=\E[R, kf7=\E[S, kf8=\E[T, kf9=\E[U, khome=\E[H, kich1=\E[L, knp=\E[G, kpp=\E[I, nel=\E[E, rev=\E[7m, ri=\E[T, rmso=\E[m, sgr0=\E[m, smso=\E[7m, vpa=\E[%i%p1%dd, ------------------------------------------------------------------- There is still something that doesn't work quite right when an application (e.g. lynx) tries to clear the screen.

Or, is there some other reason?? > 1) Should I comment out those devices or options I don't need in > MY_KERNEL config file? Here, you need to think a bit about what you're doing. The short answer is "YES". In general, having a smaller kernel is better because the extra memory that it *doesn't* consume can then be used to make your applications run slightly faster, etc. Since building kernels is probably not something you *want* to be doing often (since it wastes your time), look through the descriptions of all of the possible devices in the LINT file (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT). Do NOT alter the contents of this file. Start with a nice NEW file -- for example, "donny"! (don't mess up GENERIC, either!) Remove things that you are probably NEVER going to have -- like maybe a SCSI WORM drive, etc. And, remove other "choices" for things that you already have and aren't likely to change -- like the BusLogic SCSI controller if you've already got an Adaptec. Toss out things that just don't make sense -- like the PCI support if you are running an ISA machine. Then, think about things that you *don't* have but might want to add later (i.e. in the next millenium! :>) and consider adding them to your configuration so that when you *do* buy them, you can rush home from the store and plug it in without having to wait to rebuild a new kernel :> This might include a sound card, SCSI tape (!), etc. Many of the pseudo-devices are "required" (e.g. "loop") and others are significant or TRIVIAL enough that they *should* be included (for example, I include "speaker" even though I have a sound card). If you don't have any SCSI stuff, "scsi" can probably go away and if you aren't running FDDI, "de" can get tossed. It's kinda like a funny game -- on the one hand, you try to tear out everything that you don't need; but, on the other, you add in all the things you *might* need! > 2) What's good and bad if, for example, I comment out those > scsi devices except the one fits my scsi card? That makes good sense -- assuming you aren't using a really lousy (i.e. slow) SCSI host adapter and are planning on upgrading it shortly to one of those *other* devices! Note, also, that if you run FBSD on more than one machine, you *may* want to come up with a kernel that will run on *any* machine (within reason) just to save yourself the hassle of having to build separate kernels. Finally, consider what you will do when/if you have a key hardware failure. If, for example, your SCSI host adapter *dies* and you have a spare adapter -- but possibly a different model, etc. -- stashed away in the closet, you might want to build the kernel to support the new adapter and the *old* adapter! So, if the adapter *does* fail, you can throw in the old adapter and at least have a system that is functioning while you purchase a new adapter, etc. > 3) Will a smaller kernel speed up ay boot time? if so, how to > make a kernel small? Yes. The more stuff you take out of the kernel configuration file, the smaller the kernel will be. Note some things have a bigger effect on the size of the kernel than other things. Also, the size of the kernel (*text* image) is only one aspect of the amount of memory that it will consume. Tweeking other config file settings can alter the amount of memory consumed for buffers, etc. > BTW, thanks for you all.

That's what it is. You'd be wise to refer to it as an `operating system', though, and not a `program'. It is an operating system just as DOS, Windows 95, and OS/2 are operating systems (or, at least, they like to think they are --- in the case of DOS, for example, this is doubtful). You can have the FreeBSD operating system on your computer and when you want to use Win95 you can just reboot the computer to Win95. In fact, this is what I do. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken?

Another alternative is to run a program which emulates vt100 for you: screen. It is available as a package in the misc hierarchy as screen-3.7.1.tgz If you use alot, you will probably want to create a .screenrc which will remap the screen command key to something else. (I remap it to myself). So, you could alias telnet to ``screen telnet'' and things should work. -- James From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 20 12:49:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA10723 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 12:49:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fallout.campusview.indiana.edu (fallout.campusview.indiana.edu [149.159.1.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA10713 for ; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 12:49:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (jfieber@localhost) by fallout.campusview.indiana.edu (8.7.6/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA02502 for ; Sun, 20 Oct 1996 14:49:10 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 20 Oct 1996 14:49:09 -0500 (EST) From: John Fieber To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Recording with NAS Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been trying to record from a soundblaster 16 using NAS (on freebsd-current).

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

I'm running 2.1.5-STABLE and have been keeping up with the source changes using CTM. I've been running tc_wrappers for months and decided to rebuild the kernel to incorporate all the CTM changes and add ipfw. The only modification to my existing kernel configuration I did was to add option IPFIREWALL and IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE. After compiling, installing and rebooting, I started noticing some small and not-so-small problems. 1. the login from the console device now prints the user-ID following the prompt, such as: login: cosmo cosmo password: 2. Suddenly, cons25 doesn't understand control keys. In pine, for instance, arrow keys produce the equivalent ansi sequence printed to the screen and ^X (and others) are printed instead of being interpreted as control keys. Booting the old kernel works as it always has. Could I have screwed up the CTM updating process somehow, or missed compiling something that would do this?

Without this file, many warnings about "unknown keysyms" will be generated when the program starts up, and most keyboard equivalents won't work. This is a general problem with running Motif programs on systems not configured for Motif, and so will be necessary on most Sun systems. This file is included with all packages because some systems have an older version of this file, so you may still get some warnings. The XKeysymDB file normally goes in /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB or /usr/openwin/lib/XKeysymDB, but you can override that with $XKEYSYMDB.

It refers to the one you got from Netscape. If you won't have it where it is expected, the port make will ftp it from Netscape again for you. You can only get those files from Netscape mirror sites.

I installed the port and it runs fine but part of it's behaviour I don't understand. When make was running configure, I selected SNMP2AUTH for the type of security desired. I have not, however, created or edited any of the security related files (party, view, etc.). When I queried the bsd box from netguard on a PC, I supplied a community of public and it returned the info. I supplied a community of private and it let me change several variables. I thought if I selected SNMP2AUTH it would reject requests unless things were setup in the config files. Why is it allowing 'public' and 'private' in the first place, and second if it has to be this way where can I change the community names 'public' and 'private'. Also the docs for the config files don't seem to exist (party.conf, view.conf, context.conf, and acl.conf). Does anyone know where I can get more neophyte oriented docs on these files configuration? Lastly, if anyone knows, does netguard support querying via SNMP2 or is it SNMP1 only? Thanks for any pointers! Jay L.

I just swapped out the ethernet cards on the client. But have maintained the same IP addresses. However, the FreeBSD server and the clientsdo not talk to each other. No ping. The cards work because I have tested them with installation software. I have looked at the routing tables on both the server and the client. And they have the right route, i.e., the they route to the proper gateways. The client does not explicilty give a route to the server, but it is implined in the routing to the network over which the server and client talk. The server has an explict route to the client. I suspect that the ARP tables have not been updated. When I do arp [client] I get the response "mainserver.firstmaple.ca (172.20.0.3) at (incomplete). If this is the problem.

I have tried everything I know, to get it to find this file. I have put it in the directories mentioned above, and have also set the env variable $XKEYSYMDB using the command line: set XKEYSYMDB=(/usr/lib/X11), as well as XKEYSYMDB=(/usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB), most of which produce the same output in the "set" list. Everytime, I get the same result: "...unknown keysyms," and variations. There is also a message produced by Navigator, displayed before the "unknown keysyms" saying that "it appears that $XKEYSYMDB is not set", or something to that affect.

I realized that we have lots of complete tools for sysadmin work but none of the nifty quickie tools that we each use each day included with the installation. Some examples of these tools are: zap / dkill - kills by process name instead of pid gps - lists by process name And others... Also things like a .cshrc that puts your $cwd in your title bar or command line depending on your TERM. Things like a particularly neat setup for .fvwmrc or scripts for handling xauth neatly. So what I am looking for is all the neat things that you might have available and use on a daily basis that you would be willing to send in for inclusion in a sysadmin.tools.pkg. What I am looking for is the tool, and a short concise and to the point readme explaining what it is, where it goes, and who sent it. I will try to put all the tools that I get together into a package that can be installed on the system. Manpages for some of the more elaborate stuff would be nice.

It depends on the programs you are going to execute on your windows machines. I have a "user" that executes only telnet 3270 for a cics application running on MVS (ibm mainfraimes with tcp). the FreeBSD machine is a 386/dx40 with 200Mb of disk and 8Mb of memory, an ne2000 card and a slip connection to the master site at 38kbps. The machine uses a proxy server (cached) to service http & ftp and a socks5 to server the telnets. This machine has 40 windows in the ethernet side... and performs very well compared to a solution using sna/tcp. The hole "thing" was setted up in 1 week. Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.

Take the class name and append '.class' to it to form a filename. Object -> Object.class 2. Take the package of the class, replace the dots with slashes, and prepends that directory to the filename in step 1. Object is in the java.lang package so the class java.lang.Object, gets transformed into the path java/lang/Object.class. If the class doesn't have a package, then it uses the current directory, '.'. 3. For every element in your CLASSPATH, look for the path formed in step 2. % setenv CLASSPATH .:/usr/local/java/classes.zip:/usr/lib/classes This CLASSPATH has 3 elements: 2 directories, . and /usr/lib/classes, and one zip file /usr/local/java/classes.zip. Zip files are collections of files with the full pathname of the files preserved. Given this CLASSPATH, first the Java interpreter looks in . for java/lang/Object.class, then it looks in the zipfile /usr/local/java/classes.zip for java/lang/Object.class, and finally, it looks in /usr/lib/classes for java/lang/Object.class.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was recently trying to setup a FreeBSD 2.1.5 machine as an NIS client to a Solaris 2.5 (NIS+) server. I ended up with the problem that I could "ypcat passwd" a certain entry and "import" it via vipw and it worked fine, but if I just left it in the yp map, then the login would fail. I eventually got it to work by making a 1 line change to getpwent() in the C library. Despite the small change, I have the nagging feeling that I only needed to do it because I misconfigured something or hacked away some intentional security feature. I would be grateful if some knowledgeable person could either: 1) Tell me what I did wrong OR 2) Confirm that this is a bug and submit it as a PR. The essential problem is that _pw_breakout_yp() wasn't filling in the pw_passwd, pw_uid, and pw_gid fields to the struct passwd entry because in __hashpw(), the data returned from the _pw_db->get filled in the pw_fields field in such a way (e.g. I think it was an 0xF) that it failed the tests against _PWF_PASSWD, _PWF_UID, and _PFW_GID).

I need advice on how to configure SCSI hardware to run Win95 & FreeBSD 2.1.0. System is a P5-150, with an adaptec 2940 scsi controller. Hard disks are Seagate (SCSI-2) 1GB at SCSI ID 0, with Win95. Seagate (SCSI-2) 2.1GB at SCSI ID 1, DOS/Win95. Seagate (SCSI-2) 2.1GB at SCSI ID 2, FreeBSD. Connor (SCSI-1) 100MB at SCSI 3, DOS (OLD). CDROM is Hitachi 4x primary on first IDE channel, then on slave on first IDE channel. (Not seen by BIOS.) Questions: Running view, and then inst_ide from the FreeBSD 2.1.0 disk, doesn't find my IDE CDROM drive. The kernel probe sequence does find it, but the install program doesn't. Is the Hitachi 4x supported? If so, where should it be on the IDE bus? (IDE-1, IDE-2, Primary, Slave?) (I have no IDE hard disk, only CDROM.) The adaptec 2940 only allows one choice for sector translation. In order to use the 2.1GB SCSI disk at ID 1 with DOS / WIN95, I need to turn sector translation on. I read something about being able to put a real geometry in instead of a translated geometry, during FreeBSD's fdisk, etc. What will work? How do I determine the real geometry, without installing DOS, and then reading the geometry off. The 2940, allows drives to be not seen by the BIOS. Does FreeBSD care about the BIOS? The probe finds drives whether they are seen by BIOS or not. I've thought about putting the FreeBSD drives in ahead of the WIN95 drives. I use the front face SCSI select jumpers, so it wouldn't be hard to do. For a DOS disk to be visable to Win95, it has to come after the boot disk. FreeBSD probably doesn't care. Does booting FreeBSD from a drive with a SCSI ID larger than zero, require a kernel rebuild? I seem to remember an entry in the last kernel I rebuilt, spelling out the boot drive's ID. Please feel free to send advice directly to robert.clark@pii.com.

I don't know if BootEasy or the FreeBSD boot blocks are smart enough to bridge for the third disk.

I run pppd from init, and every so often, pppd can't seem to negotiate a connection. It looks like it loses track of the port speed, because it _starts_ to negotiate, but eventually dies with a timeout sending LCP requests message. This problem only appeared recently; however, before this the machines in question would sporadically(about once every 1-7 days) reboot with no panic messages or anything. Every so often the machine will panic and die trying to reboot. It gives a message about being either in tty or net. Anybody have any ideas? Despite it's status as not-for-production, it appears there has been major work done on the cy driver in -current. Would this perhaps help my reboot problem?

The primary problem comes when you FIPS a partition and cause the cluster size to change. FreeBSD assumes a perfect world while FIPS cheats -- it SHOULD rewrite all those sectors back down to the smaller clustersize but that takes a while (I had a program that actually did it right!) esp. on big disks.

If the permissions aren't set right then they'll do it anyway by copying the file they want to their home directory then ftp'ing it. You should fix this properly by channging the permissions on everyone's directories. To what, I don't know; 711? I think this is what our University servers use so Web ~/public_html works properly but you can't read what's in someone's directory. > Another thing, Is possible to have a shell with a limited set of command to > use as default shell for remote users.

What does it mean ? It means that more data came in the serial port than could be processed, so data was lost. Under X this is probably your mouse, which is *really* odd since the mouse runs at 1200bps, slow enough for even a 386/16sx with a 16450 to read it w/o dropping characters. (?)

Well, actually the ATAPI interface will tell the CD to play and you can pipe the audio out the sound card, or hook up a pair of speakers out the front headphone jack, if you drive has one.

Apache picks this up and returns the error. The problem seems to be that it is a script (not a binary). If I use a binary (i.e. a compiled C program) for the script it runs fine, but FreeBSD seems to have trouble with inrterpreted scripts. Even if I run a C program that exec's a shell (or perl) script, the script simply won't start. It seems as if when the interpreter (sh/perl, etc.) gets started it can't find the script it's supposed to run. This really puzzles me. It looks as if Apache does something to break execve/execle, at least as far as interpreted scripts go. > > > Already tried reinstalling, copying the conf directory from the working > > machine, fiddling with security settings etc., to no avail. > > Did you check permissions on the script and other files? Yes. Also, using a compiled program works. See above. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Good question. I've been holding back, since I don't use MS-DOS or its file systems, but my understanding was that FIPS leaves some pointers in the file system pointing outside the partition. I'd guess that the FAT is a good candidate here, since you can't shrink it easily. This doesn't seem to worry the native MS-DOS file systems (or I just haven't heard of it happening), but apparently it can cause FreeBSD's msdosfs to write outside in the area which belonged to the file system before it was truncated with FIPS. In the kind of situation we're looking at, where FIPS was used to make space for a FreeBSD file system, this will now be a FreeBSD file system. That's plausible, but I haven't personally seen any evidence that it has happened. If somebody else has, please speak up.

There is a commercial DOS software package called PartitionMagic (see http://www.powerquest.com) that costs about $50 and can edit partitions without reformatting (it can shrink/expand DOS and HPFS partition and move around many other types of partitions, though not FreeBSD yet - maybe someone shoul talk to them as they support linux and SCO partiotions). I never had a problem with it, and it is highly recommended if you find yourself repartitioning disks often (once a year is often enough for me). It sure beats backing up, formatting and restoring! > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 22 03:21:29 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id DAA20449 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 22 Oct 1996 03:21:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: from www.mauigateway.com (www.mauigateway.com [205.166.249.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA20443 for ; Tue, 22 Oct 1996 03:21:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bluelight.mauigateway.com (bluelight.mauigateway.com [205.166.249.11]) by www.mauigateway.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id AAA03839 for ; Tue, 22 Oct 1996 00:32:10 -1000 (HST) Message-ID: <326C1390.5036@mauigateway.com> Date: Tue, 22 Oct 1996 00:21:36 +0000 From: George Fontaine Reply-To: sysop@mauigateway.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Support for Buslogic PCI Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a Micron P166 with a Buslogic PCI-SCSI controller card.

That same CGI test script worked just fine when I tried it from within a form. One thing that did screw me up for a while with some other scripts was a mis-type in "Content-type text/plain". I forgot the "-" in Content-type. Is the script executable? What happens when you say "perl test-cgi" (it is a perl script, right?) from the command line.

In the kind of This doesn't explain to me, why mounting a DOS-FS would corrupt the BSD-FS when I do *not* write to the DOS part. Just reading, using find or simply mounting (and I remember vaguely that the mount itself could destroy it) should not cause problems !??? (some data structures overwritten in the kernel ?) As far as I see it from several mails that I have received on my question, i) using plain DOS with fdisk to create the DOS partition and leaving space for another OS is (perfectly) safe. ii) Using Win95 or WinNT progs for partitioning *may* cause problems with the partition table and/or the DOS-FS (even w/o FreeBSD). iii) Using FIPS -- as was noticed on these lists several times -- will almost certainly cause problems. These `problems' may end up in the worst case in crashing the BSD-FS (which I don't understand). Since my system falls in category i) I saw never problems with it. I'm afraid that the only `testing' will be `failed installations' of cat. ii) and iii). There may, however, something else have went wrong. Finally, esp. when installing a new OS, I like to quote Larry: "Save often, save early !" > situation we're looking at, where FIPS was used to make space for a > FreeBSD file system, this will now be a FreeBSD file system.

It's a shell script, and it wil run if you just say test-cgi (it has #!/bin/sh at its beginning). The same would happen with perl though. As I said before, it doesn't happen with compiled programs, but if I write a C program that exec's a script - it will happen when I try to exec from the program the script (the execle call doesn't fail though. at least it doesn't return). > > Dan Eischen > deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 22 06:03:48 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA27375 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 22 Oct 1996 06:03:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from horton.iaces.com ([204.147.87.98]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA27368 for ; Tue, 22 Oct 1996 06:03:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from proot@localhost) by horton.iaces.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA01896; Tue, 22 Oct 1996 08:03:38 -0500 (CDT) From: "Paul T.

I will have such as need to try to do the following: Get 2 x 9.6K analog leased line (that can delivers up to 36.6Kbps of data with the right modems) and bond them together to form a bigger pipe. So, looks like what I need is a device that sits at my side and a remote site that does bonding (inverse mux ??) on 2 separate analog leased line. I wonder if running FreeBSD with the multilink (and sync) PPP software on both sides is all I ever need to get it working ?? Please share any of your ideas/thoughts/experiences/tips/etc with me as this may be a cost effective way for me to do Internet connection instead of paying heaps for a digital leased line starting at 64Kbps and yet costs much more than the aggregated bandwith of 2x36.6K.

The bootmngr installs to drive 2, remnants remnants of booteasy remain on drive 1, (cool), I think, for now I can actually use drive 2, but, alas, the boot procedure for drive 2 brings me to the dreaded "can't mount root" panic msg.

[RC] ---------- From: owner-freebsd-questions To: questions Cc: M.C Wong; M.F Wong; mfwong Subject: Question on FreeBSD multilink PPP support Date: Wednesday, October 23, 1996 12:25AM Hi, SOme time agao, someone posted an announcement of beta multilink PPP for FreeBSD which I remembered is for sync PPP (correct me if I'm wrong). I will have such as need to try to do the following: Get 2 x 9.6K analog leased line (that can delivers up to 36.6Kbps of data with the right modems) and bond them together to form a bigger pipe. So, looks like what I need is a device that sits at my side and a remote site that does bonding (inverse mux ??) on 2 separate analog leased line. I wonder if running FreeBSD with the multilink (and sync) PPP software on both sides is all I ever need to get it working ?? Please share any of your ideas/thoughts/experiences/tips/etc with me as this may be a cost effective way for me to do Internet connection instead of paying heaps for a digital leased line starting at 64Kbps and yet costs much more than the aggregated bandwith of 2x36.6K.

First, the hardware: 60MHz Intel Pentium (WITHOUT the floating point bug) AMI Excalibur (EISA/PCI) Motherboard 32MB core memory (4 8MB SIMMS) Adaptec 2742T Twin channel Fast SCSI 2 adapter on EISA bus Seagate ST3655N 520MB Fast SCSI 2 disk (as sd0) on 1st SCSI channel Seagate ST32550N 2047MB Fast SCSI 2 disk (as sd1) on 2nd SCSI channel ATI Graphics Ultra Pro Mach32 video card on PCI bus Toshiba XM-3701TA external 6X CDROM drive (cd0) on 1st SCSI channel Floppy drives (3.5" and 5.25" as fd0 and fd1 respectively) MS bus mouse and adapter board OS/2 Warp is installed in the first ~470MB of sd0 (HPFS filesystem) with the rest as FreeBSD swap space (sd0s3b). The first slice of sd1 is ~1024MB and is where FreeBSD lives. The balance of sd1 is not in use at this time. Right now I use the OS/2 boot manager to choose between OSes at boot time (I am aware that FreeBSD also provides a boot manager and I have no particular reason for not using it). The problems I have are: 1) I have a DEC VT220 terminal that I would like to use on sio0. It is connected with a null modem cable. I changed the ttyd0 line in /etc/ttys to read: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure then did a "kill -1 1". Getty is running after this (according to "ps -ax"), but nothing appears on the terminal except the cursor. sio0 is recognized at boot time ("sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa") and I am able to dial out through it if I connect a modem. A) Is there anything else I need to configure in FreeBSD to make it see this terminal? Such as setting flags on the "device" line in the kernel config file to indicate a soft carrier? B) What values need to be specified in the "Set Up" menus on the VT220 terminal itself? For instance, number of data and stop bits, VT200 mode (7 or 8 bit controls), XOFF (at 64 or 128), etc. 2) I have a modem connected on sio1 and am having limited success with dialing out through it. As root, I can dial out and connect fine, but... A) How do I configure tip so that regular users can use it to dial out. Right now, when I invoke tip as a regular user, I get the messages: lock open: No such file or directory all ports busy B) How do I perform zmodem file transfers when dialed out through tip? I have source for sz and rz but I am not familiar enough to know how to make them cooperate with tip. Thanks for your time. I appreciate any help you can give me.

Easiest way - 1) use JetAdmin (or whatever they're calling it now) to assign an IP address to the jet direct interface. 2) telnet to that IP address, and follow the help screens to turn off the banner. 3) add a line in /etc/hosts for the printer 4) add the following lines to /etc/printcap lp|hp4sales1|Sales HP4 Plus 1:\ :lp=/dev/null:rm=hp4sales1.bfd.com:rp=text:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp4sales1:mx#0: where the rm= field is set to your printer's hostname (from step 3).

I am outraged! How can you do something like this, especially when he didn't even buy your distribution! I'm the one that asked him over for some help installing this program, and we couldn't even get it to work properly! It's been one week now, I've had little success in making a full-installation upon my SCSI Seagate Barracuda 2LP ST32550W. PFDISK tells me that the magic number is wrong on the drive, and FIPS tells me that the address setting is 80h rather than the default setting of 81h! This keeps me awake at night! I really, really think that I'm the one that deserves a FREE FreeBSD T-shirt, not my friend. Besides, he can buy a 1,000 of them, he's going to work for Sprint as a Network Operator. So, reply with my T-shirt and technical support. Eric Lesniewski 131 Jefferson Rd.

All you have to do is set up a printer with a printcap entry for a remote printer. The other requirement is that the novell side must be set up to accept print jobs from a remote network.

It can do landscape/portrait, 2-up, etc. Hmmm, Brandon saw the "lprps" package mentioned in the Handbook? I too went looking for it a couple of weeks ago. Finally found it with Alta Vista. Was disappointed (only a little) with the text to PS conversion in lprps but happy with the other things like page reordering and an exact example of /etc/printcap. So I used the structure outlined in lprps but put a2ps in as the actual ascii-to-postscript converter. Then my users complained, "it doesn't look like the output we get from the other printer" (an original HP LaserJet, one font, Courier 12). Arrrgh. Found I could teach a2ps to do 80 column 66 line pages, and still leave a margin for punching 3-ring binder holes. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@tomcat1.tbe.com (wk), dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Can't say I know. I use a package called 'apsfilter' that is an output filter that converts many file formats to ps, then pipes it through ghostscript to your printer's format.

How about the path -- does it point to the script and the interpreter in question? Does your script start with #!/usr/bin/perl instead of #!perl ?

Use gdb: gdb program.core If it uses shared libs and/or it wasn't compiled with -g then some of the names won't appear. There is a way to fix the shared libs bit posted not to long ago. Note that sig6's default action is to terminate & dump core if the program doesn't otherwise handle it.

Make your test a fair one ... with 15k of data, that's only 10 packets assuming 1500 byte packet sizes. If you saw that when you were transferring (say) a megabyte or two, then I'd agree be more inclined to look closely at the code, esp. if you are on a modem. But with very small transfers, there is no way to get accurate transfer rate calculation, especially when packets are getting fragmented and re-assembled, possibly out of sequence.

This is a known bug in sysinstall. Sometimes the active partition bit gets reset by sysinstall for odd reasons. Use DOS FDISK and reset the active partition to a partition and it should all work.

Without actually consulting Eric, I'm going to suggest that you misinterpreted his message. I read it as follows... 1. A message alerting us to a bug that we may not have noticed otherwise. 2. A message regarding some merchandise which should have been addressed to Walnut Creek? 3. A message describing a technical problem he was having. 4. A short blurb saying he would be very grateful for any help anyone here could offer. I tend to think a "good" response would be to mention that questions@freebsd.org is not directly responsible for FreeBSD merchandise, an answer to his technical query, and a suggestion that he use `send-pr' to file the bugreport so that it can be fixed (if it still exists in newer versions). Incidentally, if you believe that spelling mistakes are silly, I must disagree. They reflect on the whole operating system, and the amount of care put into it. It's understandable when big things can't be done right, but when small things aren't, it can reflect shoddy workmanship. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken?

No. In fact if my memory isn't failing, the original "ZMAGIC" format of 386BSD (which we still support) maps the executable starting at virtual address 0 (although to skip over the image header, the file offset is 4096). -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 22 22:38:01 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA15138 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 22 Oct 1996 22:38:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dyson.iquest.net ([198.70.144.127]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA15133 for ; Tue, 22 Oct 1996 22:37:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from root@localhost) by dyson.iquest.net (8.8.2/8.6.9) id AAA00161; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 00:37:01 -0500 (EST) From: "John S.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk A printing question. I've stumbled into three or four Apple Localtalk PC Cards made by Apple in early 1988 (at $2/each I couldn't resist!). I've also stumbled into an Apple Laserwriter II NTX (alas not at $2) which after a few parts from The Printer Works (a highly recommended vendor for laser printer parts, BTW) now seems to generate pages just fine. What I'd like (don't sneer!) to do is find a pleasant way to have FreeBSD (2.1 or higher) speak to the localtalk card sufficiently well to drive the NTX near the 'normal' localtalk speeds instead of 9600 baud (or 56kb if one does some silly things to talk to the printer). Am I just dreaming? Is it worth the potential trouble? Should I junk the entire thing and get an HP 5M instead (using what for money!)? Thoughts, experiences & wisdom would be appreciated. As would the switch settings on the Apple cards... Thanks!

Most null modem cables only have three wires inside. FreeBSD wants more (specifically, it wants the CD line). Look at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook137.html#330 for specifics (especially the section on cables). If you make (or get) a full null-modem cable, you should set the VT220 to hardware flow control (not XON/XOFF). If you want to use the (probably partial) cable you have, you may use cuaa instead of ttyd and XON/XOFF, but beware: some programs don't like this (pine for one will need special setup, and pico will not work at all).

The reason is that many bugs are caught that way. If you dereference a NULL pointer you'll find yourself in the first page of memory. Not mapping that would mean that you'll get a signal for that.

I've set up FreeBSD-2.1.0 for a company (I never set up an other OS for any company). I was gave permission, to trash their linux and install FreeBSD-2.1.0 instead. The installation went fine but now i am running into a problem with their network-configuration. Their ISP (a real linux-fetishist) says "FreeBSD is TOO BRAINDAMAGED to handle this problem". I do not think so. The network-configuration is pictured below. Also more details are written below. Now my problem (maybe I AM braindamaged): 1. How to ifconfig the ether-device of the FreeBSD-box ? 2. How to set up the routing of the FreeBSD-box ? so that the FreeBSD-box acts as a mail- and WWW-proxy gateway for the company's private network. +---------------+ | FreeBSD-2.1.0 | |+-------------+| || NE 2000 || || 192.168.3.1 || || 1.2.3.253 || ++------o------++ | | ++-------o-------++ || NE 2000 || || 192.168.3.103 || || 1.2.3.36 || |+---------------+| | | | +-------+ | Router | ISDN o------------o ISP 1.2.3.x | +-------+ | | |+---------------+| || 100 MBit || || 192.168.3.104 || ++-------o-------++ | | ++-------o-----++ || 100 MBit || || 192.168.3.2 || |+-------------+| | | | 192.168.3.x | The linux that i have trashed had no problems with this configuration BUT i do not know how to ifconfig the network device of the FreeBSD- machine and how to setup the correct routing. The FreeBSD-machine should be known with a registered IP in the internet. I've replaced the real registered IP with 1.2.3.253. All the other machines (except the router) in the company should run only on the private network 192.168.3.0. The FreeBSD-machine should be the email and WWW-proxy gateway for the private company network. The problem so far: - When i ifconfig the network-card of the FreeBSD-machine with "ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xffffffff", the 1.2.3.36-IP is not reachable and therefor unknown to the routing. - I can not use a netmask of 0xffffff00 for the ether-device of the FreeBSD-box. - When i ifconfig the ether-device of the FreeBSD-box with "ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.3.1 netmask 0xffffff00" and "ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xffffffff alias" the outgoing packets never come back, since the FreeBSD-box sends its packets with src of 192.168.3.1 What i would need is a ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xffffffff ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.3.1 netmask 0xffffffff alias route add -net 1.2.3 ed0 but ether-devices as destination in the route-statement are not allowed. Under the linux this was possible (the ISP says). Now this situation is braindamaged itself, but this does not count as argument to the boss of this company. The boss had a running system with this network-configuration and he stands on the point that this has to be possible or the OS (FreeBSD) is not the right OS so far. Please please help me with this network-setup, so i can prove, that FreeBSD IS the right OS for all networking. BTW: this mail is closely related to my other mail about FreeBSD-support for HP-10/100-VG or Compex 100VG network-cards. Many thanks for all your help in advance.

This means, in particular, that I will not break up a network with a particular netmask over two wires. I mention this because it appears that your implementation may be doing this: the "192.168.3.1/192.168.3.103" addresses are clearly required to be on the same wire as the "192.168.3.104/192.168.3.x" addresses. If your router REALLY supports this, fine, you can proceed, but I am suggesting that it is bad network engineering. > The linux that i have trashed had no problems with this configuration > BUT i do not know how to ifconfig the network device of the FreeBSD- > machine and how to setup the correct routing.

Try this ifconfig instead: ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xffffff00 (or whatever the real netmask of the Internet-visible subnet is). The 0xffffffff format is used when you are creating additional aliases on a wire for which an address and netmask have already been set up. This seems a little strange but makes sense if you think about it. > - I can not use a netmask of 0xffffff00 for the ether-device of the > FreeBSD-box. Well, you need to use SOME netmask!

If so that is bullshit. Ethernet is not (necessarily) a point to point protocol. If you have more than one other host on the wire (and how can you know), to which one do you route it? In this PARTICULAR case, one could guess that Linux is braindead enough that it does not understand that an IP alias with a netmask implies that route, and that it needs to be TOLD this... so much for the superiority of Linux. If you have to add any routes at all, it is largely dependent on what your router is doing on your behalf. If your router is actually doing all the work (which is how I read this), you may have to do nothing else at all. > Now this situation is braindamaged itself, but this does not count as > argument to the boss of this company.

Please write back if this does not clear up your problems or give you the right clues to do so. I will do my best to help you with this. I have set up much more complex networking scenarios on occasion and this should not be particularly difficult. You need to get the network interfaces set up right, and then you need to figure out if you need to add any "exceptional" routes. I will note that this is NOT the way I would choose to implement this network, however. ...

In any case FreeBSD, similar as it is, doesn't work this way either. Below is a Cshell script I use for backing up the host which servers as our 'dumphost' for our CAD/CAM network. Target device is a Sony SDT-5000 4mm DAT drive. Due to this mailer (Pegasus on Novell), some lines are wrapped. As with all things Un*x, there are many ways to do the same thing. This one adapts to whatever FreeBSD box it finds itself on. Works for Sun as well. #!/bin/csh # # dumpall: script to dump filesystems (FreeBSD) # awk script prints appropriate column from filesystem table as arg to 'dump' # -- only problem is that filesystems are dumped in order they're mounted # (may not be all bad) # # in SunOS 4.x case (BSD as well), filesystem table doesn't call out raw # device files, so second awk required to separate path components on '/' # so output can be reformatted to look like raw device names # mt -f /dev/st0ctl.0 blocksize 1024 set files = `awk '/^\/dev\/sd/ && $3 !~ /swap/ { printf( "%s\n", $1 ); }' /etc/fstab | awk 'BEGIN { FS="/" } /dev/ { printf( "/dev/r%s ", $3 ); }'` set tparms='0udsbf 61000 10240 126 /dev/nrst0' foreach fs ( $files ) dump $tparms $fs # echo dump $tparms $fs end # clean up and dismount mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewoffl | > I am currently backup up the /home tree with | > | > dump 0usfd 42500 /dev/rst0 5000 /dev/sd0s1e | | What should help you (if I understand ou correctly) is use the /dev/nrst0 | device. The difference is that it will not rewind when it finishes. This | will let you put another dump on the same tape right after the first one. Most definitely. This script (and use of /dev/nrst0 in general) will create what's sometimes called a stacked format. You get to subsequent dumps with either 'mt fsf' if doing multiple restores off the same tape, or the 's' parameter of restore (see the man pages for more info). hth, larry From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 23 07:03:59 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA17954 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 07:03:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fallout.campusview.indiana.edu (fallout.campusview.indiana.edu [149.159.1.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA17949 for ; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 07:03:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (jfieber@localhost) by fallout.campusview.indiana.edu (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA13180 for ; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 09:03:53 -0500 (EST) X-Received: from cayman.ucs.indiana.edu (cayman.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.10.63]) by fallout.campusview.indiana.edu (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA12918 for ; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 06:09:13 -0500 (EST) X-Received: from ophelia.ucs.indiana.edu (root@ophelia.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.10.44]) by cayman.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with ESMTP id GAA04986 for ; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 06:09:12 -0500 (EST) X-Received: from roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (roatan.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.10.65]) by ophelia.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7/8.7/regexp($Revision: 1.3 $) with ESMTP id GAA19921 for ; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 06:09:11 -0500 (EST) X-Received: from halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu (halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu [18.26.0.159]) by roatan.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.12IUPO) with SMTP id GAA14068 for ; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 06:09:11 -0500 (EST) X-Received: from freefall.FreeBSD.ORG by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65v3.2/1.1.8.2/19Aug95-0530PM) id AA25982; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 07:09:07 -0400 X-Received: from acme.sb.west.net (root@acme.sb.west.net [205.254.224.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id EAA12635 for ; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 04:09:03 -0700 (PDT) X-Received: from headache ([153.34.75.35]) by acme.sb.west.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id EAA09090 for ; Wed, 23 Oct 1996 04:05:17 -0700 Message-Id: <31332CE2.7FDB@west.net> Date: Tue, 27 Feb 1996 08:10:10 -0800 From: Mark Wheeler Reply-To: bigtime@west.net Organization: WorldWide Services X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: www@freebsd.org Subject: user ppp on freebsd Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ReSent-Date: Wed, 23 Oct 1996 09:03:48 -0500 (EST) ReSent-From: John Fieber ReSent-To: questions@freebsd.org ReSent-Message-ID: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been having some problems getting the user ppp program working.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to install 2.1.5 on an HP Netserver LC, which has an Adaptec 274X SCSI controller. (I need 2.1.5 because I want to use an Intel Etherexpress Pro100 network card.) The netserver's controller is on the EISA bus. In 2.1.0, ahc1 and ahc0 are probed on the EISA bus, and so my scsi controller is found. They aren't probed there in 2.1.5, so my scsi controller isn't found and I've been made a sad human. I know the problem isn't a conflict because I disabled everything but the essentials and it still didn't find it. My theory is, as I said above, they need to be probed for on the EISA bus. (These controllers aren't listed in the "mass storage" list when I boot with -c.) I searched the archives and found one other reference to exactly this problem, but no solution appeared -- I emailed the person with the problem and he had given up. I'd appreciate any help solving this; we'd like to use this machine for our courses next semester.

We had some of these old cards in IBM XTs at my high school. They use DOS drivers and aren't supported under FreeBSD. You're not done for yet -- many network hardware manufacturers (Asante and Dayna for two) have special ethernet-to-appletalk converters for printers. I don't know how much they cost but that should allow you to talk to the printer. Additionally, those adapters have print buffers which can queue print jobs in the device while they're being passed on to the printer at the breakneck speed of 57600. (Isn't LocalTalk great? :-) ) > Thoughts, experiences & wisdom would be appreciated. As would the > switch settings on the Apple cards... Those cards are totally twisted. There was a reason you got them for $2. :-) Did you get the software too?

For obvious security reasons, anonymous ftp chroot's to the ftp directory. This means it's / becomes what normally is ~ftp. A symbolic link to /cdrom would thus become a link to a cdrom directory under the ftp directory, which is not what you meant. What Doug suggested to do is *mount* the cdrom under the directory ~ftp/whatever. instead of under /cdrom. This would make it visible even after the chroot. > > Thanks to all the wrote! > John > > At 06:36 PM 10/23/96 -0700, you wrote: > >On Wed, 23 Oct 1996, John Scharles wrote: > > [snip] > John Scharles Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 24 01:12:04 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id BAA25595 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 01:12:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de [139.30.40.28]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id BAA25556 for ; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 01:11:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA25801; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 10:10:45 +0200 (MET DST) Message-Id: <199610240810.KAA25801@odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de> X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.7 5/3/96 To: GARY LEWANDOWSKI cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: How to get 2.1.5 to probe for ahc1 on the EISA bus?

I've running 2.1.5 on a EISA mb with two 1742, and they are probed with the default kernel. In 2.1.0 you have to specify every controller on the EISA bus in the kernel separatrly where in 2.1.5 the controller has to be configured only once.

Maybe the people in this list will make some suggestions on my ideas. First of all i want to say "Thank you very much" to: - Daniel O'Callaghan - Joe Greco - Narvi - Richard Wackerbarth for their replies. Now what i want to do today as follows. Please make some suggestions, corrections or commitments on this. Again the picture is appended below. 1. The router is a KA9Q-ISPA-router, not capable of bridging. 2. The machines on the private company network (192.168.3.x) need a gateway (the FreeBSD-box) and this gateway should be the WWW-server, WWW-proxy and SMTP-server. I was told, the gateway (the FreeBSD-box) has to have a IP in the private company network (192.168.3.x), because they are all Windows machines and Windows needs this (i don't know if Windows does it really need). 3. ifconfigs for the FreeBSD-box: ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xffffff00 ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.3.1 netmask 0xfffffc00 alias 4. I'll config the NE2000-device of the router to 1.2.3.36 with netmask 0xffffff00 5. I'll change the 100MBit-device of the router to 192.168.3.104 with netmask 0xfffffc00 Please make some suggestions on this configuration. - Will this configuration work ? - Will the packets of the FreeBSD-box addressed to the internet, be routed through the ISDN-line ? - Will the packets from the private company network find their way to the gateway (the FreeBSD-box) ? Remember, i have not the option of changing the physical configuration of this network, since it is a 100 MBit network based on HP-10/100-VG and Compex-100VG4 network-cards and FreeBSD-2.1.x does not support them. Many thanks in advance for all suggestions and helpful hints. When i'll get this bogus network running, i'm sure, the boss will be impressed and another friend of FreeBSD is born and maybe the ISP starts thinking about Operating-systems as well defined and behaved systems and stops thinking about OS's as hacking-systems.

When your packets want to been route to lan 1.2.3.x, your packets will be boradcasted between your BSD and 1.2.3.36 . But, it will not be routed to lan 1.2.3.x throughing 1.2.3.36. The netmask of 1.2.3.253 is 0xffffff00. It is meaning that lan between BSD and 1.2.3.36 is 1.2.3.x, and packets that want to be routed to 1.2.3.x will be broadcasted here. The packets will be routed successful, if you can change IP alias of BSD to 1.2.3.37 with netmask 0xfffffffe.

How old is your Jet Direct card, and what printer is it in? The default filter adds a formfeed to the end of the document, but lpd doesn't use the filters when you are printing to a remote printer. I can only think of one way around this, two ways to implement it; one a kludge, the other something I haven't done yet. kludge: set up another printcap entry that uses a shell script for a filter, and the filter feeds its stdin and a formfeed to another invocation of lpr. Last time I tried something like this, I could only print one file at a time. better solution: Install LPRng (mentioned in the handbook, sorry, I have no other references), which can be set up to use filters on a remote printer. I plan on using it for an auto-postscript filter on the above mentioned printer.

Just grab the ssys.* distribution from the /dists/src directory on the CDROM or from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/src/ssys.*. cd /usr and run `tar xzf ssys.*`. (double check the path with tar tzf ssys.*; the sources should end up in /usr/src/sys.)

I'm attempting to install a second SCSI hard drive to my system (a Dell P133, 32megs). The new drive is a Quantum L912. All I want is a single slice that consumes the entire drive. I've been wrestling with this problem for awhile now. I've stepped through the procedure as laid-out in the FreeBSD FAQ (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ37.html#37), and when I go to install the new filesystem on the drive (newfs /dev/rsd1s1) it craps out on me, complaining about "newfs: /dev/rsd1s1: `1' partition is unavailable". Mind you, I've tried everything I know to get something on partition one, short of blood sacrifice. And I'm a bit bummed that I haven't been able to find a fixed version of "sysinstall" on the FreeBSD Web site (but maybe I'm stupid?) Anyway, any pointers you could send my way would be swell.

Well, I used the default printcap, which contains the following entry: lp|local line printer:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\ lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: > Have you tried replacing the lpd binary? Yes, I replaced it with the one that comes in the #2 CD, labeled "Live File System" (in the Walnut Creek set), but nothing changed. I suspected a problem with the enhanced parallel port setting, so I changed it to normal mode, but nothing. What else could I try?

I've had similar problems with Quantums on wcarchive. With AWRE and ARRE enabled, even if the drive is clearly able to read the block sometimes, it will never do a reallocate. Very annoying. My only solution thus far has been to RMA the drives with Quantum.

Thanks. Yes, most BSDi binaries will cross over to FreeBSD ok. Devices won't however. You'd have to try the application(s) in question and see.

If you then go to /etc/syslog.conf, you'll need to add an entry to that file to tell syslog where to put things logged to the local7 facility. As for the format of the syslog file, that's an issue for a good UNIX book or the man page; the former being better if you want to know *why* certain things are logged at certain priority levels... I like the ORA Armidillo book for such things... Also, here's an example of how our Ascend boxes and annexes log to the loghost: local7.info /var/log/annexlog local6.info /var/log/annexlog local5.debug /var/log/ascendlog format is: logfacility.level destination Hope this helps a bit, Charles On Wed, 23 Oct 1996, Timothy P.

If the MEDIUM ERROR was a `hard read error', one that can not be corrected by the block's ECC, the disk is doing the *right thing* by not automatically remapping it. If a block with a hard read error was automatically remapped, the _next_ time this block is read, you *won't* get a read error but any data in this new block is garbage -- so now you have _silent_ data corruption. Automatic remapping only makes sense on a write to a known bad block or on a *soft read error* -- in the latter case the original data _was_ recovered thanks to the ECC and on the chance this block is going bad, the original data is moved to a good block (and the old block number is mapped to the new block). Another (remote) possibility is that the disk has run out of spares.

I've been running AcceleratedX Common Desktop Environment for FreeBSD under FreeBSD-current for the last week or so. Supposedly it has been verified under FreeBSD, but I have had some problems with it and I'd post them (I did send them to Xinside in a separate mailing). o The install procedure does not allow installation to locations other than /usr/dt. Trying to make a link from /usr/dt to another location will not work, because the install scripts will overwrite the link. I started modifying the scrips, but found it was much easier to mount an unsed partition over /usr/dt and copy everything after the install and relink /usr/dt. This worked fine. I used a custom install and used a little over 50MB in /usr/dt. o The calendar application (dtcm) dumps core. I wonder if this could somehow be related to running -current? o The Screen lock and saver do not work (although the package xlockmore works just fine). I may have something misconfigured on my end because the CDE error log file shows: "Unable to lock display due to security restrictions." I've been all through the provided documentation without any findings. o The mail utility doesn't work. It wants some execution group (unnamed) to be set. I've tried making it suid root, guid wheel, and a few others, but I don't know what it wants to be. The mail utility does detect the presence of mail correctly (the little flag goes up in the icon window) so it is able read /var/mail/. o This is a nit, but I was unable to figure out how to get the accelerated X server (which comes with CDE along with Motif) to have a faster key repeat rate. This was easily done under the XFree86 XF86Config file. It is annoyingly slow, as it is also under Sun Solaris (can't figure it out there either). Other than the above problems, everything else seems to be working just fine. It looks very professional and just like CDE on Solaris 2.5 - even the pretty login window.

Add the 'mx#0' capability to the printcap definition for the printer. What's different in the 6p over the 5P? (we have a 5p we bought only a month ago!)

In response to the shiny automatic way to add disks, I saw an announcement some time ago for a perl script which automates this somewhat. I wish I had the reference, you might check the -current and possibly -announce archives for that one.

You should boot with the -c option and configure the ep0 device to use the IRQ and port settings of the card, as configured in 3c5x9cfg.

He's running a USR 28.8 Sportster, and my modem is a Practical Peripherals PM288MT II V.34. The link between us will run fine for awhile, which is 5 mins or 50 mins. Then suddenly there is no modem activity. Pings to my ISP fail, and the TX light blinks on the modem without any RX response. The only thing I have to do is turn the modem off and back on, and then ppp redials the line, and I'm back up again. If I sub in an old 9600 IBM 7855, the problem gets better, but isn't cured. I'm using /dev/cuaa1 at 38400 baud, and my ppp.conf is pretty much standard, except for the "set dial" line, which I have worked over and it looks like this: ATE0Q1&F1%C0\\Q3&R0%E2&W. Basically everything I can do to not run compression, make the modem detect line quality problems, and adjust for them, run RTS/CTS hardware handshaking. Nothing I do on this line seems to help. When the modem "freezes", the MR, TR, HS, OH, and CD lights are on. So that means the connection is still going, I suppose. My system is a 386SX33 with 16meg, 2.1.5R, and tun0 support instead of ppp in the kernel. I have a 16550A in COM2 for this link. I've never posted to this group or mailing list before, and I'm not sure what will happen, if mail will come my way, or if I have to subscribe to it. Any advice appreciated.

You want to use pppd, the ppp daemon. Check out the Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org -> documentation -> handbook) for full details on setting up a PPP server. I have some docs making their way through the wringer that may be useful. It assigns the same address to the dialin port but may be useful in your case. Those are at http://resnet.uoregon.edu/ppp/ppp.html. It's in the process of submission at the moment but should be making an appearance in a Handbook near you soon.

Reallocation was on on the drives too... The idea is grab the data on a marginal block before it goes bad permanently. You can try a number of different things on a soft read error: a) remap on the very first read error, b) keep track of the number of soft read errors and remap after some magic number, c) rewrite the data and see if the soft read error goes away, d) a combination of b) and c), or e) do nothing. Each option has its pros and cons. But it has been years since I last looked at this stuff and Quantum may be using something totally different.

How old is your Jet Direct card, and what printer is > it in? I'm having this problem on a JetDirect-enabled HP LJet 4MPlus with firmware rev A.03.06. I haven't tried the text printer (I tried lp) and will tomorrow (the printer is at the office). To note, on this one telnetting into the printer just gives me telnet options, no printer options. I'm hesitant to save changes since this isn't my printer and I don't want to mess anyone else up. > better solution: Install LPRng (mentioned in the handbook, sorry, I have > no other references), which can be set up to use filters on a remote > printer.

I have LPRng on this machine and it's not very nice. :( For one, once you use it, you can't go back to lpr; it changes the permissions on the spool directories and lpr can't get to them. Secondly, apsfilter doesn't work with it since it uses a nonseekable pipe, while lpr does. Time to checkout lpd and hack. It IS nice that with it I can print to the LJ without a printcap entry. I need to see if I need to make a quicky init-the-printer filter to disable the stairstepping effect. Would you happen to know the pcl code to do that? [ My eventual hope is to build a port or instruction sheet for LPRng. At least it compiles cleanly out of the box. ] Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 24 20:07:18 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA15713 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 20:07:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA15706 for ; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 20:07:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA15085; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 20:06:34 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 20:06:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: "Vineet Arora (SEG1)" cc: "'freebsd'" Subject: Re: Problem in Installation of 2.2-961014-SNAP In-Reply-To: <32700732@internet.niit.co.in> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Thu, 24 Oct 1996, Vineet Arora (SEG1) wrote: > I am facing some problems in installation of above.

Your problem is perhaps that your chat script is wrong. If for some reason the chat script hangs then pppd will eventually fail (iijppp will do the same thing).

Why on earth would you want to put it in the foreground? cron is meant to run behind everything; you won't necessarily be logged in when the cron task starts. Check your script; make sure some program isn't throwing a fit.

After using a DOS-partition to install, I can't find any wcd (ATAPI) driver in the boot config at all. Can you help? Please, take your time, but understand that I need a more specific response. Thanks so much. --------------6C1A17F31B01-- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 24 21:53:14 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA21306 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 21:53:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA21294 for ; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 21:53:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by who.cdrom.com (8.7.5/8.6.11) with ESMTP id UAA14915 for ; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 20:29:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA15142; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 20:26:07 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 20:26:06 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Jan Toomsalu cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: sound !?

The wcd does not appear in the configuration screen if you boot with -c, if I remember correctly, but it should work. Make sure that the CD is in the drive when you boot, and look for messages with atapi or wcd in them right after your hard disks are recognized. You may want to try to move your CD into the slave position of the primary EIDE controller. FreeBSD seems to prefer having it there.

This is something that happens no matter how you run the script. The SHELL variable is used to decide on what shell will be used to execute the command you give in the crontab entry, but even csh, when given a script without a magic line, will use sh to run it.

If and only if all of the following are true: * You're an intermediate- to expert-level user. (DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THE FOLLOWING IF YOU'RE A NOVICE USER!) * You have a SCSI disk (IDE drives may work in the following, but I don't know). * You want to dedicate the *ENTIRE* disk to FreeBSD. This is *IMPORTANT*, as the following assumes that you really do want to dedicate the entire disk to FreeBSD (yes, *all* of it). If you want to use even a teensy, tiny part of the disk for something else like MSDOS or Windows, you CANNOT use the following instructions. Period. * You have no data on the disk that you want to keep. * You don't mind losing ALL DATA that is currently on the disk. * You don't mind destroying any and all MSDOS or Windows 3.1/95/NT or any other information that is on the disk. * You don't plan on using or sharing the disk with other operating systems (e.g., MSDOS or Windows). * You want to partition the *ENTIRE* FreeBSD slice into a single FreeBSD filesystem. (If this isn't true, you have to change the "newfs" command below.) Then, the easiest way to add a dedicated disk is the following: * First, determine the base disk name of the disk you want to add/dedicate (e.g., "sd1"). * Assuming that "sd1" really is correct, do the following (assuming Bourne shell /bin/sh syntax): # This won't work if you're using /bin/csh: d=sd1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r$d count=2 disklabel /dev/r$d | disklabel -B -R -r $d /dev/stdin # We only want one partition, so using slice 'c' should be fine: newfs /dev/r${d}c (Thanks to Bruce Evans for the procedure.) You can then mount the drive via a command like: mount /dev/${d}c /mnt Expert users can partition the FreeBSD slice into multiple filesystems using a slightly different procedure: # This won't work if you're using /bin/csh: d=sd1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r$d count=2 TMP=/tmp/label$$ disklabel /dev/r$d > $TMP # Edit disklabel to add partitions: vi $TMP disklabel -B -R -r $d $TMP # newfs partitions appropriately To comment on the earlier message: you don't need entries in /etc/disktab to add new disks (this file is probably obsolete). All you might need to know is the disk geometry used at boot time (unnecessary in certain cases, like dedicated disks), and, maybe, the size of the disk in blocks (this is automatically determined for SCSI disks, and probably also for IDE ones). > In response to the shiny automatic way to add disks, I saw an announcement > some time ago for a perl script which automates this somewhat. I wish I > had the reference, you might check the -current and possibly -announce > archives for that one. I uploaded such a perl script to freefall, but it turns out that it works only with 2.2-snap-960801, and maybe versions up to 2.2-current (it depends on an undocumented ioctl() -- DIOCGCSLICEINFO). I hope to fix this, and upload a new version in the next week or so. For those of you who missed the earlier announcement, this perl script provides an easy way to create a Bourne shell script that initializes a disk using fdisk, disklabel, and newfs. A Bourne shell script is created because it's very useful for (1) disaster recovery (you don't need perl on a fixit disk), and (2) a production environment where you want to create lots of identical systems (just run the script to initialize disks). It's also aimed at intermediate- to expert-level users, as it doesn't mount the new filesystems or edit /etc/fstab (which are trivial for these users). -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

It's best to look it up in the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html... it will help you a bit more than i could, but if after reading it you still have questions, contact me and/or questions@freebsd.org > > Is that the process for setting up local DNS?! if you specify a domain, > do you not need it dome from Internic?! > Oh, my. Ok, i'll try to explain myself, but i encourage you to use my words only as a guideline. There are, i believe, entried in the handbook, and many good books, such as the O'Reilly book 'DNS and Bind' (http://www.ora.com/). And, to top it off, i suck at explaining things, but i have to try and explain this all to my father later, so here's a dry run. If anyone else sees any inconsistencies in my explanation, flame me on low and correct me, please. I'm assuming your machine is connected via dialup, although you can apply a lot of this on a LAN too.. As for your IP, depends on whether your provider gives you a static (fixed) IP or a dynamic (variable) one. If it is static, in all likelihood they have associated a name with it already from their domain. On a machine with a working namesever, try 'nslookup x.x.x.x' where the x.x.x.x is your IP, or ask me and i'll try to help. If it is dynamic, don't worry about it, and make up a name. It doesn't matter, since if you have dynamic people shouldn't be sending mail to your computer or accessing it via ftp/telnet/whatever. I usually tell people to take their provider's domain (in my case, dreaming.org) and prepend their username (thus 'mitayai.dreaming.org' for the hostname). This is merely for my own aesthetical quirk and to make local stuff easy for me... i can, internally, associate my machine when i'm testing something on it, by a name, such as my test webserver http://mitayai.dreaming.org. And it helps my partner understand better rather when i call up and ask how the 'machine in the basement' is doing and he has to reply 'which of the four?' :) Note, however, that if you send mail from your computer, and you want a reply, it's best to set the domain it comes from to the domain of your email address. For example, i have a computer that gets assigned a dynamic IP that i call, for all intents and purposes, liquid.dreaming.org. 'chemically' is NOT a valid DNS entry at my provider. And no one access that machine from the outside, so the name doesn't matter to anyone but me. So, sending mail from liquid and having the mail header come out as 'mitayai@chemically.dreaming.org' would be a good way to make sure i NEVER get replies to my mail. :). Instead, I use 'pine' to send my mail from it, and use the 'hostname=' in my .pinerc set to 'dreaming.org'.. therefore, all my mail appears to have come from 'mitayai@dreaming.org' which is a valid user at a valid DNS host, and when people reply, it gets sent to a place actually set up to get mail. Anything beyond that means playing with MX records and your sendmail.cf file, which are longer stories than even this ramble, although i'll try and help you if you want. The books are better, though. Ok, the fun part: For Host Name Resoloution, that is, you type in 'telnet dreaming.org', your machine has to find the number associated with dreaming.org (the IP) in order to know how to contact it and where. Your machine looks at /etc/host.conf first (mine follows): ###### # $Id: host.conf,v 1.2 1993/11/07 01:02:57 wollman Exp $ bind hosts ###### 'bind' means to check a name server first, and then failing that, 'hosts' makes it check to see if it is hard-coded in your /etc/hosts file. Some people reverse this order to make things faster, especially for when you are not connected to the Internet full-time, or have a slow connection. Next, your machine looks at /etc/resolv.conf if it exists. ##### domain dreaming.org nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 207.107.8.200 nameserver 142.77.1.1 ##### the 'domain' line allows me to shorten local names withing my domain... if i did 'telnet dreamlabs' it would first try dreamlabs.dreaming.org and then plain 'dreamlabs'. The 'nameserver' lines are nameservers queried in order. 127.0.0.1 is, of course, my local machine, which runs a cacheing nameserver. The rest are the nameserver closest to my dialup point (my provider) and other good, solid nameservers for backup in the case of a timeout from it or other problems. (142.77.1.1 = ns.uunet.ca) 'named', the nameserver daemon, is invoked at bootup by my line in /etc/sysconfig (running FreeBSD-2.1.5, but you shouldn't have problems... if you are runnning some old FreeBSD version like 2.0 it may be in /etc/netstart, or if not running FreeBSD you could always pop it in /etc/rc manually as noted below: ##### #####/etc/sysconfig namedflags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" ##### which caused the command named -b /etc/namedb/named.boot to be made at startup. If you don't have /etc/sysconfig, you could always use the option of entering that named -b... line in /etc/rc or /etc/rc.local. But put it in /etc/sysconfig; a lot of people have put time into making things easy for us and let's respect that. :) in /etc/namedb/ i have two files: named.boot and named.root. You can copy them from here or get updates, if any, from the sites mentioned in the comments. named.root *may* be present as root.cache on your system, which is fine. The name is only important in that /etc/namedb/named.boot is the file we have told namedb to read using the -b option, and in that file it looks for the root name server list in the name we specified. The names are based on standards and a drive towards consistency, so i stick to them as best i can exept for when years of habit take over. ;;;;; ;;;;; named.root ; This file holds the information on root name servers needed to ; initialize cache of Internet domain name servers ; (e.g. reference this file in the "cache .

It remember this match for quite some time depending on your uptime, memory, etc, so next time it doesn't have to go through all this stuff. (Thus a 'cacheing' nameserver) If it fails, your machine goes to the next nameserver and repeats the process. If all listed nameservers fail, it goes to that second line in /etc/host.conf and tries the /etc/hosts file. (Now do you see why some people reverse the process and put 'hosts' first and hardcode familiar, oft-used IPs? All of this lookup takes time which sucks on a low-speed connection). If that fails, it returns 'host not found' and your telnet fails. Well, i hope this helps. Sorry it took so many worrds. But remember, the 'man' pages are yuor friends!

There doesn't seem to be any straightforward explanation of how to print to non-postscript printers. One solution sometimes suggested is installing apsfilter. I think it requires ghostscript, so first you have to install that. apsfilter is not easy to install. I did this and now can print to my laserjet, but only the kind of printing I get from the dos print command. So unless I just want a print-out of a file for information (rather than a letter or a spreadsheet file or whatever) I use dos/windows programs for printed output. Not very satisfactory, is it? Maybe someone on questions can be more helpful. There's a great deal of information in the FreeBSD handbook on this (should be on your hard drive somewhere) but really nothing that actually tells you how to do it.

Is it as slow :-) Hmm, actually, really, how's performance, I quite liked CDE but the Sparc 5 at work was really sluggish but it might just have been that Solaris couldn't cope with CDE rather than CDE itself. CDE seemed to have a large memory footprint and I've noticed that Solaris isn't very happy unless it's got lots of headroom memory wise. -- Paul Richards. Originative Solutions Ltd.

If you want to print PostScript on a non-PostScript printer you will need some PostScript-to-your_printer converter. One of the more popular is GhostScript, being free and all. You can set your printcap so that it uses the output filter which is a shell script that calls GhostScript with the correct environment and options and spits bitmaps out.

However, all of our other servers are running FreeBSD, and we would LOVE it if PROGRESS would release a version for FreeBSD. There _is_ a BSDI version, call and see if you can get a FreeBSD-native version.

Funny you should ask, I'm working on a how-to web site for setting up web servers, but I haven't made it as far as the virtual stuff. Really simple, though. First, you need to set up an aliased IP address. if you're connected to ethernet, you can simply add a line to /etc/rc.local that looks like this: ifconfig ed0 alias 204.160.242.11 netmask 255.255.255.255 Then, you need to add something like this to the srm.conf file (wherever it is located) ServerAdmin webmaster@bfd.com ServerName test.bfd.com DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/htdocs/test ErrorLog logs/test.bfd.com-error_log TransferLog logs/test.bfd.com-access_log Alias /index.html /usr/local/www/htdocs/test/root.shtml where all the locations and such match up, and test.bfd.com is replaced with the name that corresponds to the IP address.

Two possibilities: 1. The remote modem somehow doesn't like yours. Bad line conditions may cause this. 2. ijjppp has been known to fail in high-load cases. It happened to me many times, but the modem would just hangup and ppp would show the link was down. Redialing fixed it. My guess would be that you're inflicted by #2. Is your modem set to translate drop in DTR -> hangup? ppp depends on this functionality to hang the modem up properly. That may be hindering the automatic dial.

I'd like to have 'Chuck' sitting quietly under the login dialog so people knew what was under the X-covers. 2) Assuming I can do 1) above, anyone have a pointer to a kewl graphic to use? (I use `xearth` on *my* sessions, so individual sessions don't matter, but on the console I'd like to see some graphic that represents "Powered by FreeBSD". 3) What's the seminal 'X for Dummies" book at which I should be looking?

I was trying to print to an EPSON Stylus Color printer (using escape sequences and special characters), but the default settings are for a TEXT ONLY printer... so, I think that, when the text filter receives non-text data, it panics, instead of just stop printing and send a decent message to the error log.

You're always better off with native binaries, but BSDi binaries are the next in line. BSDi and FreeBSD are very similiar on many levels, mainly because they are from the same code base, BSD4.4-Lite.

He has registered a domain name and has a block of eight IP addresses assigned to him from a local ISP provider. He wants to connect his FreeBSD system to the provider full time via PPP, experiment w/ the web pages on the system, and do some testing w/ people accessing his over the internet. He doesn't care about the rotten perfor- mance he'll probably get during the testing phase. At some point, the system would be co-hosted. I'm stumped because the virtual web hosting seems to require alias IP addresses. I've seen this work with ethernet cards, but when I try to create alias IP addresses for the tunnel PPP device w/ ifconfig, I get 'ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required'. I tried including the IP address of the far end of the PPP link, but got 'ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists' for my efforts. Is there any reasonable way to do this? I've looked through my FreeBSD mailing list archives, but haven't found anything helpful. Any help will be appreciated.

Linux supports a filesystem type known as "umsdos" which is UFS-like on top of plain ole FAT. NOt recommended, and not real safe or stable, but it does work. In fact, I have such a 'Linux' (Slackware) on this very same machine that also runs Debian and FreeBSD. I use that umsdos Linux as an emergency kind of thing, in case I might encounter some disaster, I've found it helpful, and certainly better than booting DOS or some unix-like thing from floppy.

Don't know how to do it on FreeBSD, but it is possible on Linux using ipfw and the option known as IP masquerading. Basically, your masquerade'r acts as the gateway, and has the real, valid Internet address. It then presents its address for any of the clients on your local network that you wish it to masquerade for. Ie, their packets appear as tho' to the net, that they came from the single machine with the valid address. This permits you to "hide" an entire network behind that one machine, that masquerades for the others.

However, I am having problems going from a 2.1.5R system to a 2.1.0R system. I can use the remote tar going from the 2.1.0R box to the 2.1.5R box. Unfortunately, the tape drive is on the 2.1.0R box. I have a Solaris 2.4 box that can use the tape on the 2.1.0R box. Solaris doesn't seem to be as picky as 2.1.5R. I suspect the 2.1.5R is trying to use kerberos authentication with the 2.1.0R box and fails. I thought it should give me a message, but it just hangs. When I do an rsh to the 2.1.0R box from the 2.1.5R box it hangs the same as the rmt tar does. But when I do a rsh -K (no kerberos option) it works. Can anyone shed some more light on this? Will this happen with other types of Unix? Is there a workaround? just curious, -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088 From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 25 23:07:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA01323 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 25 Oct 1996 23:07:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from seagull.rtd.com (root@seagull.rtd.com [198.102.68.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA01309 for ; Fri, 25 Oct 1996 23:07:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dgy@localhost) by seagull.rtd.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA19975; Fri, 25 Oct 1996 23:07:42 -0700 (MST) From: Don Yuniskis Message-Id: <199610260607.XAA19975@seagull.rtd.com> Subject: Re: ftp problems To: blaqmyst@earthlink.net Date: Fri, 25 Oct 1996 23:07:42 -0700 (MST) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <32718B12.1AB0@earthlink.net> from "bLaQmYsT" at Oct 25, 96 10:52:50 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > My problem is as follows.

One way around this is to turn on the "hash marks" reporting in ftp.

Just to help me with my theory (that it has something to do with inode allocation) - did you use the default parameters when you newfs'd the file system, or did you change them? On my news server (which sees a similar panic about daily), I changed the blocksize (-b) and number of bytes per inode (-i) to make more space available for lots of small files.

I notice that there is a package called bsddip-1.05 which is an IP dialup program and I have installed it. However I cannot run it as I cannot locate what/where the executable for this program is.

Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ok - I know this has been discussed/hinted at in the past. But, I'm hoping to get a real solid answer. I have one machine, which is, at times, connected to two networks. 1) My work network (a private network itself), and 2) my ISP. This machine is my primary gateway to the rest of "the world". [news/mail hub, etc...] Connected to this machine, via a small ethernet - are the remainder of the machines in my host - Win95 boxes, a couple other FreeBSD boxes, All of the machines in the house are on the 10.0.0.x private network. I'd like to have unfettered internet access to the world at-large.

Paul, I am using the same distribution here. It includes a user mode PPP which does handle the dialing and configuration stuff. I had some trouble getting to work initially, but as a matter of fact, I do happen to be using it right this minute. There is also support for ppp which can be compiled into the kernel, but I find the user mode ppp more than acceptable, and the performance is quite good. Just type 'ppp' to start the program. You'll need to edit the ppp.conf file for your machine and ISP, but it works well.

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk *** Please copy to me directly, since my subscription to the list is still being processed. Sorry *** This is starting to get annoying. Personally, I'm a generic multi-platform jockey, 15 years MVS, 10 years PCs and UNIX (SunOS, AIX, and Solaris), a little OS and admin experience along the way. Decent, not great, admin, mostly I'm a TCP/IP C++ applications hacker. I did my first FreeBSD 2.1.5 installation on a Gateway 386DX/25 with 8M, ISA bus only, 80M and 1600M WD IDE hard drives. Small drive (wd0) is ~ 30M dos fat, ~ 32M root file system, 16M swap, a little left over for a possible additional primary disk partition (disk slice) for later addition of a non-FreeBsd boot manager. Large disk (wd1) has large /var, /usr, and /u (home) partitions, plus another 40M swap. (Yea, I know I'll thrash like a grain combine first if I need it). System also has AHA-1542CF, NEC CDR-74, and SMC Elite Ultra, and usual assortment of parallel/serial ports. First time I installed FreeBSD, the system ran for about a week, then I booted to DOS, rewrote the MBR on wd0 to lose the FreeBSD boot manager (I don't need it, I just set the active partition and run w/o a keyboard or monitor, use the serial console to serial port on OS/2 server). However, as I reboot to FreeBSD * B L A M M O * kernel panics because it can't mount root. , I figure I must have torched non-DOS partition/disk slice information, although after FreeBSD decides my wd0 disk geometry has changed to utterly bogus numbers and it forgets wd1's disk slices as well, I'm starting to wonder. To recover it, I end up using WD's wdclear to nuke the entire wd0 disk including cylinder 0 to hex 00, and then I lay down new DOS and freeBSD partition. (This is when I discover wd1 has forgotton its disk slices, and I nuke its cylinder 0 as well.) I reinstall, regen kernel from scratch (faster than figuring out how restore from the ZIP drive dump I took of root, especially since the drive is disconnected), system works great through 4 days. However, I have serial port COM3 hiding from me, since I must have IRQ wrong, so I botto back to DOS via floppy. I don't screw with fdisk, I do access the C: partition and copy a few programs on it, but nothing special with partition table.) I determine the proper IRQ with DOS kermit, then reboot from hard drive into FreeBSD again, same kernel I'd booted previously ... ... and * B L A M M O * kernel panics because it can't mount root. I'm willing to dedicate all of wd0 to FreeBSD, but if I lose root again, I'm _not_ going to be happy. Where the hell is root going? (I can look on the disk with Norton or whatever, if you can tell where to check.) Have I got space aliens loose or what? DOS virus is unlikely, since the DOS install was from fresh write protected MS (tm) disks. -- Internet: ahd@kew.com Voice: 617-279-9810 Expect the unexpected-- HE does.

The best way to handle this is to obtain a real IP network number from your ISP so that you can set up a real gateway. [ If you search the mail archives on www.freebsd.org you should find a message from one of the protocol experts explaining why IP masquerading cannot possibly be done and still maintain full standards compliance. ] But there is also another factor you should consider. If your ISP won't assign you a network and route to you because you have an individual user account; then connecting an entire network via that account could probably be construed as theft of services.

Not necessarily, the idea is to put W95 and FBSD on different partitions on the same HD or on different HDs entirely and use a boot manager program to choose which OS you want to run......for a given operation. If you mount FBSD and W95 on entirely different machines, each machine will be fulfilling a different mission. Typically the W95 machine is a warm and fuzzy GUI for productivity/entertainment applications like word processing, DTP, and all the other wonderful "off the shelf" stuff. FBSD on the other hand, is an excellent platform to handle network connectivity to the Internet, general file storage (eg. SAMBA on the FBSD system to allow the W95 box to smoothly access drive space on the FBSD box). FBSD is outstanding for setting up basic WWW capability with Apache as the HTTP server, WUFTP as a ftp server, mail, etc. Having these functions separate from your W95 system is EXTREMELY advantageous...particularly since you DO NOT NEED A POWERFUL CPU TO RUN FBSD!!!! A 486/33 with 8 MB Ram and a 300 MB HD is a great little starter platform to poke around with ... you will be amazed what you can do with it :) Good luck AND DON"T BE DISCOURAGED!!!!

During boot it says its a 'PR166+ @ 133Mhz'. The board also has an onboard PCI IDE controller. I'm trying to get 2.2-961014-SNAP running on it. When I try to install from floppy is tends to PANIC at various points. I instead simply tried to boot a hard drive which had been installed from another system. I boots ok, but during the 'cleaning' of the filesystems before mount it invariably gets a message about a missing wdc0 interrupt and then another similar message which includes '(do_dam)' and hangs. This message comes up at various points, sometimes it gets past the mounting and occurs as various daemons are being brought up. I also disabled the onboard PCI IDE and used a plug in ISA IDE and got the same error. I tried a different hard drive too. I've turned of just about everything fancy sounding in the CMOS and tried defaults too. It this CPU and 2.2-961014-SNAP supposed to work?

Just another question; 'pnpinfo' reports the Serial Number as 0022241a . The configuration samples show the Serial Number in hexadecimal; with a "0x" prefix. Is the pnpinfo serial number in hexadecimal, without the '0x' prefix? And if yes, can I just `pre-append` the '0x' to the pnpinfo serial number when I place it in pnp.c? Thanks.

None of the above. :) Just start the install from the floppy and when you get to the partition editor highlight that 400 meg space and choose `C' to create a partition there. Then `Q' to continue on your way and all the heavy lifting will be done for you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Finger jacko@onyx.xtalwind.net or jack@xtalwind.net http://www.xtalwind.net/~jacko/pubpgp.html #include for my PGP key.

It was a Money_B virus, it appears my original MS boot diskette had it. (Which is funny because the system and the diskettes are from work -- my home machines are kept cleaner than that ... but this explains why a Toshiba portable at work had problems a few years ago.) I'll reinstall tomorrow after I zero the disks (the second disk still has problems caused by the virus), but at least the system will hang around for a while this time. Thanks kindly for the kick in the head to re-examine this. -ahd- -- Internet: ahd@kew.com Voice: 617-279-9810 "What's a snuggly hug? Can I get a demo?"

You should always mention which version of FreeBSD the problem pertains to. The failure you're seeing is caused by more than 16 processes trying to exec simultaneously and running out of a kernel resource because of it. This failure case was eliminated in FreeBSD 2.1.5 (by adding code to block the process until the resource becomes available), so I would guess that you're using FreeBSD 2.1.0 or earlier. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
