However, I'm now curious how to do it the "right" way. What flags should I set to put a terminal in such a mode so that characters aren't echo'ed, and characters typed are returned immediately? I've played with ECHO, CLOCAL, and ICANON to some success. What flags should I set for a modem for a "normal dialout"? ie - port doesn't echo (the device will echo the characters) - characters should be read() immediately (again, no waiting for CR) Any changes for inbound calls? Lastly, is there any way to directly look at some of the line signals (CD,DTR, etc)?

How do I confirm this and figure out what real memory each process requires and how much of a win I'm getting from shared objects and text segments?

It is an older board and does not appear to support Plug-n-Play. This is a fresh install from the CD-ROM; so I'm still using the default GENERIC kernel; and I'm fairly confident that no other boards are responding at 0x300. Initially, the probe was reporting: 1 3C5x9 board(s) on ISA found at 0x210 ep0 not found at 0x300 This address was probably the result of an earlier Win95 install. The admin logbook configuration chart shows that board as always having been at the default 0x300/irq10. When I used the 3Com config utility to reset the address and IRQ, the FreeBSD probe stopped recognising the board at all. I've searched the mail archives for -questions and -hardware; but was unable to find any reference to a probe problem with the older non-PnP 3c509. Any ideas, short of replacing the 3c509, would be appreciated. Thanks, -Pat My opinions are my own. For a small royalty, they can be yours as well...

I have OS/2 on the primary drive on the 1st hard disk controller. The second disk is on the second controller, and has a 50M DOS partition (for games) and 350M for FBSD. When I install from floppy all goes well. I select wd2 for the install, then I build a new kernel from the shell on F4. At boot time it claims it's booting from wd1a, yet at the drive detection time it finds the drive & calls it wd2. Then panics when it can't mount root. I have tried putting "root on wd1", and on wd2 in the new kernel. The /etc/fstab entries all point to slices on wd2. I'm using the default boot manager, I can't remember its name. It has the F1 F5 style options. Any ideas?

I am sending mail from a FreeBSD box that is intermittently connected to an ISP that dynamically assigns IP addresses. When my mail goes out, I would like sendmail to change the address in the "From:" header from "daveho@roo" (my local username and hostname) to "Hovemeyer_D@mediasoft.net" (the address of my POP3 account at the ISP). Right now I am using a "Reply-to:" header to at least insure that replies come back to the right place, but I would like to have the "real" headers be correct instead. I looked at the sendmail FAQ, which mentions the "user database" feature of sendmail to allow rewriting of From: headers. Is this feature enabled in FreeBSD's sendmail? (I am using 2.1.0R.) I tried the canned example in the FAQ, and it seems to have no effect. Assuming that I can use the user database, will it do what I want, maybe in conjunction with the "DMsome.domain" masquerading feature? Any insight appreciated.

FPU NexGens have been available for the past couple of months. Non-FPU NexGens perform sometimes a bit better, sometimes a bit worse, than comparable Pentium CPUs on non-FPU tasks. I don't have a NexGen with FPU so I don't know how well it works. FreeBSD 2.1R runs just fine on my NexGen PCI-90. The standard FreeBSD FPU emulator also works fine but it *is* slower than Christmas.

If it does I'd give it a shot. If not, try a new EtherDisk from ftp.3com.com. Some older setups didn't give you the option to disable it even though the 509s support it.

You are probably stuck on that method for life since most BIOSs can't boot off the second controller without help.

Did you try wd0c? mount_msdos /dev/wd0c /mnt This is not really recommended, however, especially if you have run FIPS on that drive; the MSDOSFS support is quite old, and is being revised.

The user database will probably do what you want, in conjunction with the masquerading feature. You should definitely get the ORA Sendmail book. It is 800 pages packed with info and makes a WONDERFUL reference for all thos cryptic Config codes. The latest release include a bunch of m4 macros for "easing" the configuration process, but the book is still required material. --Steve (http://pr.erau.edu/~swaits) From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 18 23:09:39 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA06857 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 18 Feb 1996 23:09:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from nervosa.com (root@nervosa.com [192.187.228.86]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA06852 for ; Sun, 18 Feb 1996 23:09:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from nervosa.com (coredump@onyx.nervosa.com [10.0.0.1]) by nervosa.com (8.7.3/nervosa.com.2) with SMTP id WAA02317; Sun, 18 Feb 1996 22:59:17 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 18 Feb 1996 22:59:17 -0800 (PST) From: invalid opcode To: Peter Stubbs cc: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu, questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: booting from primary wd on wdc1 In-Reply-To: <5ECF6CD2A38@aidan.staidan.qld.edu.au> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk > > It boots OK, it just won't mount root. > Yes, and what is the error message? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Layne coredump@nervosa.com.

FreeBSD uses shadow passwords which Crack (v4) doesn't handle very well. The scheme if you are using DES encryption (though don't know if US is friendly to you in that way) is to use the libcrypt option. It is a replacement for crypt. Other security tools include strobe..cops (good to run daily on a cron basis) Cops is Great in that it checks a bunch o' things not just password security... You can get these at Coast.cs.purdue.edu (which happens to be a clearing house for security shit. Like CERT warnings, announcements and a bunch of tools.)

How much memory do you have? I just upgraded to a PCI motherboard (and 5x86/133) and was waiting for my 30-72 pin memory adapter to come in. With only 4 meg on the board, I got the same error message you're getting. (That part at least.) When I installed my other 4M, it ran fine. I know FreeBSD claims to run under 4 meg, but I certainly couldn't get the installer kernel to do so. If you have 4M, we probably ought to report this to someone.

Any help would be appreciated. If Win95 uses the equivalent of DOS 6.xx's DEFRAG, it doesn't like to move a lot of files... I tried it and it left "locked" files all over my drive. I guess anything marked as "hidden" counts as a system file. If Win95's defragger left X's all over your drive map, this might be your problem.

I have OS/2 on the primary drive on the 1st hard disk controller. The second disk is on the second controller, and has a 50M DOS partition (for games) and 350M for FBSD. When I install from floppy all goes well. I select wd2 for the install, then I build a new kernel from the shell on F4. At boot time it claims it's booting from wd1a, yet at the drive detection time it finds the drive & calls it wd2. Then panics when it can't mount root. I have tried putting "root on wd1", and on wd2 in the new kernel. The /etc/fstab entries all point to slices on wd2. I'm using the default boot manager, I can't remember its name. It has the F1 F5 style options. Any ideas?

I am sending mail from a FreeBSD box that is intermittently connected to an ISP that dynamically assigns IP addresses. When my mail goes out, I would like sendmail to change the address in the "From:" header from "daveho@roo" (my local username and hostname) to "Hovemeyer_D@mediasoft.net" (the address of my POP3 account at the ISP). Right now I am using a "Reply-to:" header to at least insure that replies come back to the right place, but I would like to have the "real" headers be correct instead. I looked at the sendmail FAQ, which mentions the "user database" feature of sendmail to allow rewriting of From: headers. Is this feature enabled in FreeBSD's sendmail? (I am using 2.1.0R.) I tried the canned example in the FAQ, and it seems to have no effect. Assuming that I can use the user database, will it do what I want, maybe in conjunction with the "DMsome.domain" masquerading feature? Any insight appreciated.

I don't have a NexGen with FPU so I don't know how well it works. FreeBSD 2.1R runs just fine on my NexGen PCI-90. The standard FreeBSD FPU emulator also works fine but it *is* slower than Christmas.

This marks the first time that i have been able to install freebsd sans floppies! WORKED EXCELLENT!! YOW! So, obviously, i can hand start ppp and use the term part and dial up and go. Once i try to automate this, such that i have a configuration file with an entry called uw: and try to use "ppp uw" and "dial", i no longer have net access. weird. I get "dial OK!" and "login OK!" but never anything about "using Packet mode" or the "~" u get when u type PPP at the remote command line in "term" mode. The server i am logging into has dynamic addressing and the possiblity of using several ip's for both the server and my end. I used the techniques listed in the man page to specify a requested server and user ip, and when i type "show ipcp" i get the requested ip's. But none of my net apps ( telnet, etc ) run. Since i get a hostname lookup failure and i have the dns in my resolv.conf, i assume i have no net. so, if anybody out there in questions land has a config file they are using with a dynamic ip addressing scheme, i would like to see it. I suspect i am missing some command that starts packet mode from the config file, but i have not seen anything about that in the /ppp/*sample files tnx! ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life ------------------------------ From: Pedro A M Vazquez Date: Sun, 11 Feb 1996 16:07:35 +0000 () Subject: Re: IP Masquerading Terry Lambert said: > > > Actually, this isn't what he's talking about.

If FreeBSD can work with NDIS/ODI, > it should work with Packet Driver (PD) with ease. The ODI driver must be a server-ODI driver. Client-ODI drivers are real-mode drivers. Server-ODI drivers are drivers to allow the use of the card in NetWare itself. The ODI module specification is available from a provoder perspective on the Novell FTP site. Since the interface is "black box", it's possible to write an ODI consumer from the specification (I did this a while ago; it's part of the code that USL claimed when they bought Novell -- I know, I know, but that's what it felt like). It wouldn't be too hard to replicate. Utah State University (usu.edu) has a large NetWare/Novell FTP server with all sorts of tools, specifications, and object file formats. You's have to lok around on archie by host to find it; it should take all of five minutes using the www archie interface. The most recent Cygnus binutils support ODI object formats; Cygnus was paid by Novell to build an NLM develeopement environment, and the ODI drivers are loaded on the server as NLM's. This would probably be a 2-3 month effort, assuming you had two or more ethernet cards that had server-ODI drivers. Probably about 80 hours of work, total.

I believe the connector is identical to the Amiga 1000 monitor connectors, if that's any help. It probably won't be. The monitors are fixed frequency, so it is unlikely that you will be able to run them in a normal "text mode" without a special video card. You need to talk to the XFree86 list on this one.

If so how? The SCO version might under ibcs2 emulation. Under FreeBSD-current, the Linux version should work too. The people that make asWedit have said they would make a FreeBSD (NetBSD) version if they had a development platform in-house. You can contact Andrzej Stochniol (A.Stochniol@ic.ac.uk) if you know anyone willing to provide a system. I've built ASHE successfully under FreeBSD, and it works OK.

Being an ex-Amiga owner, I can testify it's not so, not nearly. The old Amiga connector was a 23 pin D connector. The one I'm hassling with has the outside dimensions of a 25 pin D connector, but enough of the pins inside have been removed to make way for 3 very small coax connectors. I have found a vendor of a (hopefully compatible) video card, a Photon card; they want $250 for a 2M card. Any references to either the wiring of the connector or a better price on the card are very welcome! I have a VGA cable with this, but the end that should hold the Sun connector (I've been told this is a 13W3) ends in wires, not the connector that hooks into the monster Sun monitor. BTW, I've had response from 5 people, and they've all been helpful in getting the info together. Thanks! > > It probably won't be.

Trying to connect to ISP I am trying to connect a small LAN to an ISP via 28.8 modem connection. I am having a problem with assigning addresses across the LAN. There is currently only one registered address available, that being to the ISP. My initial question is, what pseudo addresses can I assign to the machines on the LAN? My next question, how can I connect the pseudo addresses belonging to the LAN, to the class C address that is to my ISP? I currently have the server set for routing, and have made the device entries into the sysconfig file. In addition, I am currently connecting to my ISP via PPP, without much success.

I want to go from the stable kernel to the current one (I'm hoping for better Linux emulation). I thought that for kernel upgrades all I really needed was just /sbin, /lib, /include, and /usr/src/sys. I sup'ed all of those and tried to make them, but got a bunch of errors. Then I realized this only works when staying withing the same kernel type (or so I remember hearing). So, I sup'ed everything except for "games" and did a "make world" under /usr/src. This failed. I think install couldn't find some .texi file that is was suppossed to install so it quit the entire compile. So my question is, what did I mess up? Should I have done something else? If not, it there anyway to tell it to ignore these errors and keep on going? Do I need to update any of the bsd.mk files in /usr/share first?

For starters, your LAN is going to have to be set up to use the invalid IP addresses, in 10.x.x.x. Then, if I remember correctly, you are going to have to set up proxy support with ppp or something similar. (firewall?) Don't ask me how to set that up, I have a friend trying to get the same situation, I don't know if he ever got it up or not. > My next question, how can I connect the pseudo addresses belonging to the > LAN, to the class C address that is to my ISP?

Sounds like a routing problem; check netstat -rn and make sure a default route exists to the IP address assigned to you by the remote. Use "route add default " and delete out any other routes that may be clogging the works up.

The easiest way would be to prevent the kernel to perform a shutdown after pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL. However, it would be nice to have an option in /etc/sysconfig which is passed to the kernel via sysctl. The attached patch is against version 1.117.4.7 of syscons.c. So the line numbering might be different from yours. After applying the patch you have to add "options NOSCSHUTDOWN" to your kernel- config-file in /sys/i386/conf. Finally, recompile your kernel.

I then had the SGI force update the maps, so that it updated the (empty) maps on the bsd box. Keep no NIS source datafiles on the bsd box.

I already have a fast uucp link with another provider. In other words I need to be able to use my LAN, resolving my internal names as usual, forwarding all my mail through my uucp link and sometime be able to surf the Internet resolving names outside my domain. The iijppp link is set up properly and filtering is done such as DNS packets don't make the daemon dial. What is difficult to me is how to configure named. The root.cache file points to three DNS hosts on the provider domain. If I start named without the -r option all my mail gets queued forever and some services become slow (very slow), but all works well when the ppp link with my ISP is up. If I start named with the -r option my LAN works well but I'm unable to resolve any host name outside my domain also if the ppp link is up. Then, how can I make my LAN and my Internet link live together?

I guess it pays to disable the plug-n-play feature with the 3COM 3c509 cards. I now have some more questions... I recompiled my kernel...well, ok, I tried to recompile my kernel...I'm using an IBM Personal Computer 350-P75 w/ 16MB RAM. Anyway, I thought that, since I will be working with several machines locally, I would try and use the PCVT console instead of the SCO console. So, I did, and the result was that I couldn't get anything to work much at all. So, I guess I'm wondering if the PCVT console works anything like the SCO console? Does it support the ALT-F? multi-terminals? My big problem right now is that I need to have my TERM set to vt??? in order to connect nicely with other machines. This does not work, however, as the console is set to cons25. Now, I know I can change this in the /etc/ttys files, but when I just do a TERM=vt220 from the command line, I get garbage and have troubles doing much of anything. In any case, if anybody could give me a couple pointers on this, or point me towards the right documentation area, I'd be grateful. Second, I got X-Windows up and running (*big sigh of relief*). However, I would like to a) save my settings when I end an Xsession and b) would like to be able to switch out of X-Windows to the command-line mode. Is this possible? I currently have my kernel compiled for Xserver and I have the xdm -nodaemon line in my /etc/ttys file for ttyv4. Also, do I have to customize the X environment manually, or is there a pop-up program for doing that? Also, what other features are handy? Again, even if someone could point me to soe good documentation (and I apologize for not reading the online docs, but I'm to that frustrated, burn-out point right now). Finally, I would like to use the sysinstall package in order to read the online help, etc. However, when I cd to the /stand directory and try to execute the sysinstall program, I end up with an error saying that there is a '(' missing somewhere. Any ideas on what this error is referring to? Thank you for your sufferance and help!

Yes, with a few makefile tweaks it works fine. I just put the two relevant makefiles on ftp://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/pub. Note: I have it setup to be linked with gnumalloc because without it, postgres sucked up all my swap (64MB) when generating an rtree index on a large (310,000 tuples) table. With gnumalloc it did just fine. I expect it would work fine with phkmalloc (which I'm using in my libc now) but I have not tried it.

The Micropolis 4110 you are using is a very fast & agressive driver of the SCSI bus, so you should check your SCSI termination and make sure that you are using active termination at both ends, and that your cables and connectors are all up to snuff. You should also make sure that you don't have too much termination on the bus (ie. the 4110 and the SCSI controller should be at the ends of the bus, and the CDROM should be between them with its termination OFF). Also make sure that you have SCSI parity enabled on all of the devices. > my guess it may be related to disk geometry, but i do not know what > disk geometry should be used. during novice installation, disk geometry > shown as: 1002 cyl/64hd/32sect. > When i checked micropolis web site, for hp workstation the disktab > shown 1052 MB 512 bytes/secto, 5400 rpm, ns=93, nt=9, nc=1226 > and for SUN workstation, ncyl=1998,nhead=9,nsect=114. > is the problem above due to disk geometry? No, the above problem would not be caused by incorrect disk geometry.

The only references to this problem that I could find on the > FreeBSD archives was your question asking the same thing. Classic.

Sorry. ] > Did you ever come up with a solution? Somehow or another, I did... Which is to say, it is now working. > If so, I'd appreciate it if you could share it with me. Well, let's see. I think you've then read my description of what was happening. Are you seeing the same thing? What I've done since then is install the "new" release of both the OS and the XFree86. So, now it's: FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0: Thu Nov 16 10:47:14 1995 XFree86 3.1.2, I believe In my X86Config, I've set: Section "Device" Identifier "Number 9 GXE64 Pro 2M" VendorName "Number 9" BoardName "GXE64 Pro" # Chipset "Vision964" VideoRam 2048 ClockChip "Ti3025" # DacSpeed 135 # Book value DacSpeed 220 # Cheat a little Option "Number_nine" Option "power_saver" EndSection Careful. Note that I am lying here about my DAC speeds. I've got a Viewsonic 21 monitor. I've "xset" the timeout to 600, and "prefer blanking" in my .xinitrc: xset s 600 & xset s blank & I've also set the kernel to start the "green" screensaver in /etc/sysconfig: # Set blank time (in seconds) or "off" to turn it off (or NO for default) blanktime="600" # Set to screen saver desired: blank, green, snake, star (or NO for none) saver="green" I'm pretty sure that it is the *kernel*'s screen saver that is really kicking in and being effective here when NOT using X. I believe this part has always been working for me. When X is running (most of the time), I'm really not sure how it is happening. I'd like to believe that it is the "power_saver" option. I *think* this was one of the things that was a known bug in XF86 3.1.1 that was supposed to have been fixed in 3.1.2. Now, for some reason, it works, and I don't think I've really changed all that much. One thing that I know is different "now" than when I tried it before, is that I first had the kernel "blank", and then later switched to "green". If you've changed yours too, you may be seeing the same thing I did. So, when I reinstalled 2.1.0 and 3.1.2, things got better, apparently.... If you've got both the OS and the X releases up to date, then I'm not really sure what the problem could be. Linger bad stuff? Old LKM module? Vague.

It looks like to me that they are trying to emulate an Ethernet card. Where can I locate any info about using NDIS/ODI with FreeBSD ? If FreeBSD can work with NDIS/ODI, it should work with Packet Driver (PD) with ease. As I mentioned before the so called ISDN modem use the AT command sets e.g. Motorola BitSurfer. It emulates a "COM" port. This is also a workable solution. Best regards.

Is there some workaround for this? > Maybe I could boot from the Dynamic Drive Overlay Partition and then it > would boot DOS? Your caution is well-placed. FreeBSD is almost certainly not compatible with this "Drive Overlay" product. Unfortunately, none of the FreeBSD developers has access to a machine using it, so compatability is not likely to be added in the near future. Installing FreeBSD will most likely result in an unbootable BSD partition (best case) or totally destroy your DOS partition(s) (worst case).

It's a DOS-based (but with some Windows components) TCP/IP package that does all the usual stuff. Attached is a page from FTP Software's website (http://www.ftp.com) describing various ways to contact them.

The user interface is outside of the base OS (other than the FreeBSD specific install mechanism) and the same selections will be available on both FreeBSD and BSD/OS 2.0. System administration will be similar. Purchasing the FreeBSD CDROM from WC and the O'Reilly books mentioned in the FreeBSD bibliography will be a good way to get started on either system. If you have a web browser point it at www.freebsd.org. You may find that FreeBSD works well, is well supported and is suitable for your application and stick with it. In any case the experience will be appropriate if you elect to use BSD/OS. > If you're planning on buying BSD/OS, why the _hell_ are you asking here? Please. He said he is considering buying BSD/OS and he is expressing curiousity about FreeBSD.

The user interface is outside of the base OS (other than the FreeBSD specific install mechanism) and the same selections will be available on both FreeBSD and BSD/OS 2.0. System administration will be similar. Purchasing the FreeBSD CDROM from WC and the O'Reilly books mentioned in the FreeBSD bibliography will be a good way to get started on either system.

The "CAPI"'s supplied for the ISDN boards are TSR's for MS-@#$ and are not usable under FreeBSD. Some intelligent ISDN boards have a more or less stripped down CAPI in firmware, but these implementations have not much in common with the CAPI specs and are provided to make the programming of the real CAPI easier. There is a CAPI 1.1 and 2.0 spec available for Unix, but it is STREAMS based and - because CAPI is a spec to interface a particular hardware to a programming interface - it must be written for every piece of hardware. So i doubt we ever get a CAPI interface for *BSD although it would be a very good thing to have. hellmuth - -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ? ------------------------------ From: Lague Date: Sat, 10 Feb 1996 10:37:00 -0500 Subject: Installation With Drive Overlay I have something called "Drive Overlay" installed on my HD.

The 'src' directory conatins all the source code and XF86312 the X-Windows stuff. The X distribution is very large, I think you'll need the following: X312SVGA.tgz, X312bin.tgz, X312ctrb.tgz, X312fnts.tgz, X312lib.tgz as a minimum. As before, include the man pages (X312man.tgz) if you have room. The SVGA server works fine with the C&T video card in your Toshiba. > > 2.

No, it picks out the stuff you need. Trouble is, I don't think you'll have the space. What disk have you got? Bearing in mind that you'll have the distributions in one partition and the system in another, the disk demands of a full install get very heavy. In my case the 770ish Mb disk is split about 50-50 for Win95 and FreeBSD. This douldn't allow me to copy the whole CD-ROM onto my FAT partition, and also didn't leave enough space for an 'everything' install of FreeBSD. > > 3.

Use the 'custom' option from the install menu and do the following: go into 'disklabel' and tell it where to mount the slices select the parts of the distribution I am adding (but not stuff I've already installed, don't select 'bin' again, for instance) commit. The only thing that gets re-done is the /dev directory. No harm in that.

Is there some workaround for this? > Maybe I could boot from the Dynamic Drive Overlay Partition and then it > would boot DOS? I believe this is a product like OnTrack DiskManager 6.x and 7.x which replaces the boot code with something like 64 sectors of boot loader for an INT 13 redirecting TSR and then makes the TSR do the geometry translation for you. OnTrack puts itself there with a fake partition entry that indicates that it's there and points to the real partition entry. Each disk access with the TSR loaded adds 64 to the absolute sector offest and accesses there instead. At the 64th sector, the normal DOS MBR is installed. The TSR loads it after it is loaded, and executes it. So the DOS MBR starts booting normally and *thinks* it's at the front of the disk. When BSD is installed, it knows to look for the OnTrack disk manager, but it doesn't necessarily know to look for the "Drive Overlay" code. So it is dangereous to install the BSD boot manager on this drive. What I recommend (even for OnTrack) is that you install normally, and then boot the DOS partition on the disk and install OS-BS from the DOS prompt -- this will make sure it is loaded AFTER the INT 13 TSR for geometry translation is loaded, so the MBR you replace will be the DOS MBR, not the "Disk Overlay" or "OnTrack" TSR-loading MBR. Don't install the OS-BS from the BSD install, since the OS-BS will be installed without the TSR loaded, and may not recognize it for what it is and install over the DOS MBR instead.

Depends. Is there a NetWare server ODI CAPI driver for the card? How about a 32 bit NDIS CAPI driver for the card? If the answer to either one is "yes", then you can use it under BSD, assuming you implement a kernel environment capable of accepting protected mode ODI drivers or protected mode NDIS drivers. This wouldn't be as hard as it sounds.

NetScape should write a PID in the lock file, and when a potential conflict arises (ie: the lockfile is already there), it needs to do: if( kill( lockpid, 0) && errno == ESRCH) { /* * Kill will return -1 and set errno to ESRCH if * the process does not exist.

I've been working on installing FreeBSD 2.1.0 all day today, and am now at a point where I have some questions which I'm not having any luck answering myself. 1) I'm trying to get TCP/IP networking established, but without any luck. I have a 3COM 3c509 card installed. I am trying to get the ep0 driver to load/work. In boot-up, it does recognize the card as being there, but it gives an error about eeprom not reacting correctly (?). There is not a bootROM on this card. 2) At boot-up, it appears that the kernel has my geometry as being 1600+, and only 16 heads, and 1.6 million sectors. The numbers do not necessarily appear in this order. My question is, is this right? When I installed the OS, the geometry was set correctly. I have 826 cylinders, 32 heads, 63 sectors. 3) Is there a way, when booting from the hard drive, to get into a system setup screen, or anything. As of late, I have been working on some HPs which have a program called SAM. Is there anything like this, or even just like the install menu that can be accessed during runtime, or do all changes have to be done manually? Thanks for your help!

Why don't you just move your FreeBSD disk onto the primary controller (wdc0)? That would solve a LOT of problems with this boot. I think you mentioned there is only one device on each of those controllers.

With RIP enabled on the portmaster, my routed should learn that the route to PPP line is via the portmaster it is connected to. It WAS doing this, until I added the IP aliases mentioned below. Meanwhile, these static routes are working fine. BUT, if a user with a static IP dials up, the problem may still exist. Should I try gated? I'm running routed with -q, RIP on my portmaster and Cisco.

The problem we have is that the computers we have not only work off a network, but also have some packages that can be used stand-alone as well. Do you know of a hard-disk utility that restricts (or even write-protects) the hard drive from being written to, thus leaving all the system files unaltered. The utility must be easy to disable (password maybe) so that if us technicians have to do any work, we do not have to climb a mountain ourselves to write to the hard drive. Any help would be most appreciated.

If you attempt a server I/O, you will get a LEASE_CHECK -- it will blow the lease instance for the clients. If you attempt an operation by a client with a blown lease on the server side, then the client op will be failed. Server leasing isn't really trustworthy, IMO, since a client can't cause a lease reservtion to fail a server op. Server ops always work. > >What kind of clients are you using? > > > Pentium 133's with 64-128 MB of RAM (if you're wondering about the size > of buffer caches).

Most of what all their wonderful (eyecch) Windows software does could be done with a Tcl/Tk program talking to the gp driver. Having the source for the driver would make modifying things very easy. NI have a PC PCI version of their TNT card now (no idea what if anything differentiates it from the Mac PCI version). If you could get details on the blob on the card (TNT docco already exists), it might be possible to do something more. Unfortunately, the TNT is a little braindamaged (bad FIFO implementation) and thus while it may be capable of 8M/sec on the GPIB, on ISA in a non-polled environment you wouldn't get much more than 1.5M/sec out of it (assuming 50K interrupts/sec as a reasonable upper limit). If the PCI blob does PCI busmastering, the card would become _much_ more useful from our point of view. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

In order to do so I downloaded the current versions of both the elm and metamail ports, so I am properly current with the port versions, the operating system is at 2.1.0 Release. I used the new version of elm to send myself a message with an embedded sound file (MS '.wav' type). When I try to 'read' this message, I get the following from elm: <... text of message body removed...> [Type: audio/x-wav, Encoding: base64, Size: 75513] [audio/x-wav is not supported, skipping...] I would normally expect the option of dumping the message to s file. If I manually create a file from the elm menu (using | cat > ) and then run 'metamail' directly on the file produced, it works correctly, invoking 'auplay' to interpret the sound file (as set up in '/usr/local/etc/mailcap'). It appears that the composition steps are working, but that elm is either not invoking metamail, or is invoking it wrongly. Any suggestions?

(which I'm just not even contemplating.. :|) My assumption is that once the right DES s/ware is installed to 2.1, I can simply take fBSD 1.1 master.passwd over to 2.1, run pwd_mkdb & login without trouble - is this correct? Finally, I have obtained a (supposed) "non-US" 2.1 des.aa from a site in Japan, but there were no diffs between its files & those of the "US" des.aa & though that sure did give me DES passwds, taking a fBSD 1.1 passwd entry over to that 2.1-STABLE host didn't allow me to login.. *sigh* Any and all help much appreciated & apologies for any inappropriate cross-mailing of this message, but I'm also interested in any comments other fBSD ISPs may have on the subject of migration to 2.1.. Many thanks & keep up the fine work, Rich. -- Richard Siggs admin@spirit.net.au Spirit Networks Pty Ltd http://www.spirit.net.au P.O. Box 486 +61 6 281 3552 Curtin. ACT.

To install from floppy, use msdos-formatted floppies and cram as many of the individual files on each floppy as possible, keeping distributions separated. (ie: all the bin.* files on one set, games.* on another.) Select the floppy install option from sysinstall and insert disks when prompted.

Maybe i miss something. Masquerading is useful in a mail-hub situation where all mail for a particular place is sent to one place. (To do mail any other way may be nuts) This way, all mail going out will be from some.domain, or whatever.

Stock 1.1 used something different. Uh.. Perhaps there's some confusion (on my part, most likely). I thought he was talking about the *dual* encryption feature whereby MD5 and DES keys would be recognised and proplerly decrypted even if they were mixed together in the same password file. That didn't come until post-2.1. Yes, it's perfectly possible to make the choice between one or the other and just run one - that's worked for awhile now.

"df" will report free space in either 512 byte or 1024 byte block sizes. I do know that root often gets the 512 block report and users get the 1024 block report. "df" uses the -k line switch to force use of the 1024 block size report. // ------------------------------------- | |\ _,,,---,,_ // Roland Jay Roberts - Team OS/2 - | ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ // Internet: jay@map.com | |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' // FidoNet: Roland Roberts @ 1:321/305.5 | '---''(_/--' `-'\_) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 19 23:43:06 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA27342 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 19 Feb 1996 23:43:06 -0800 (PST) Received: from zibbi.mikom.csir.co.za (zibbi.mikom.csir.co.za [146.64.24.58]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA27319 for ; Mon, 19 Feb 1996 23:41:44 -0800 (PST) Received: (from jhay@localhost) by zibbi.mikom.csir.co.za (8.6.12/8.6.9) id JAA23648; Tue, 20 Feb 1996 09:40:42 +0200 From: John Hay Message-Id: <199602200740.JAA23648@zibbi.mikom.csir.co.za> Subject: Re: Q: exportable DES library & "DES How To" for 2.1-STABLE To: jkh@time.cdrom.com (Jordan K.

Indeed - but it was mentioned earlier that 1.1 _didn't_ use DES (that's new on me, as I was assuming 1.1 did use a DES algorithm). In that case, though 1.1 didn't use MD5, but also (supposedly) didn't use DES, then I really am hosed here then. As far as I know, I'm using the default passwd file format/encryption that came with 1.1.5.1-RELEASE & I guess there's little alternative if DES wasn't in use with 1.1 to attempt the port of 1.1's algorithm to my 2.1 Servers (hihohiho - off to hackers I go.. - or do the unfathomable & get my clients to go through the rigors of passwd changes (ohmigod ;) .. or just stay on 1.1. Are there any other alternatives?? Thanks again, Rich.

In that case, thou gh > 1.1 didn't use MD5, but also (supposedly) didn't use DES, then I really am ho It didn't use DES if you didn't load the des distribution. Since you're in OZ, I guess I can assume that you didn't grab one of the foreign DES distributions? The default password "encryption" with 1.x was a simple scrambler and about as difficult to break as a Captain Midnight decoder ring, fresh from a box of cereal. That might actually work to your advantage, however. Nate - what was the algorithm you used? I don't have any 1.x sources around to check. It may well be that you can write a perl script to descramble the puppies and then re-DES or MD5 encrypt them.

After billing the users using the "last" or "ac" command, I decided to use an DBMS for that. I use ingres (university ingres version 8.9). 1) The /etc/profile inserts data in the ingres database using: ingres db <<% range of m is account append account (login="xxx",timein=$time,machine=uname,tty=$tty) % 2) when the user logs-out, a program (ingresgetty) is executed. 3) this program does: range of m is account replace m (timeout=$time) where m.machine=$machine and m.tty=$tty and m.timeout=0 4) This closes the entry in the ingres relation. and then, the program execvp ("/usr/libexec/getty",argv); for billing extracts, I use the query language of the ingres to retrieve information and printing extracts. The data-base is also source for consulting by the users of the isp using Netscape and a cgi-bin program that asks for username and password and give uses the ammount of time consummed during the month. Take a look at http://www.bsi.com.br/acc.html 5) Due my ISP is in Brazil, the answer for the query is in Portuguese, but you can have an idea. Please use Netscape or Mosaic. Hope this will help.

This is a little bit of a strange question.... Netscape 2.0 on an HP9000 supports Java. I would like to see what Java does. So, I thougt to myself, why not install Netscape on an HP9000 and then open Netscape onto my machine w/ X-Windows (my machine being the machine w/ FreeBSD 2.1). So, here's what I'm wondering: Is it possible for me to start Netscape from a diff. machine so that it opens the window on my machine? If so, what's the trick? I tried using rsh with an exec string after it to start an xterm, but that didn't work (probably because rlogin is disabled on the HP). But, assuming that I can use rsh (if necessary) to access the HP, is it possible, then, to run Netscape on the HP, but with the window being on my machine w/ FreeBSD?

Panic: vinvalbuf,biodone,vmopar Cc: ejon@tiac.net, wink@tiac.net, ejon@zipnet.net Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Sorry for the bogus message last time. Fellow FreeBSDers, I'm experiencing a pretty nasty panic on FreeBSD 2.1-stable, and I wanted to see if anybody else out there is having a similar problem. I have several times now had the kernel panic and report kernel: panic: vinvalbuf: flush failed. This immediately follows a message that reads: kernel: biodone: buffer already done. The sequence that leads up to this situation is always the same: a person will be using mail(1) the manipulate his mailfile. The kernel will issue the biodone message. Then any subsequent action by the user will put his process into an infinite wait, with the wchan set to "vmopar". The process could wait there indefinitely. However, when anyone tries to read that mail file, either with /usr/bin/mail or elm (or, presumably, whatever), the kernel panics. We're running 2.1-stable taken from the tree on Dec 6, 1995. Since there had been some improvements to the Adaptec driver and some work on the VM locking mechanism, we've built a kernel using sources sup'ped on Feb 13. If anyone is experiencing similar problems, (even just the biodone messages), please contact me at ejon@zipnet.net, and please cc the message to both wink@tiac.net and ejon@tiac.net. We're building a pretty big ISP and want to run it on FBSD, but stability is paramount to our success.

The machine in question is an "ALR Revolution Q-SMP" dual 90Mhz Pentium with an AHA2740 EISA host adapter. (Yes, I know that the second proc won't be supported.) Sysinstall reports "No disks found" when I select Partition from the sysinstall menu. (The system has five Conner CFP1060W 1.0GB disks). I don't have the exact kernel messages, but I can paraphrase them: ahc1: 274x Wide Channel, SCSI id=7 aic7770 >= Rev E 4 SCBS The SCSI disks are seen by the probe, but show up as 'type 0 fixed SCSI 7'. No, that is not a typo. :) Also, they are seen as 5376MB (11010051 512 byte sectors) 5376 cyl, with standard 32/64 Adaptec head/sector translation. Looks like the cylinder count is hosed. I also saw a message "BIOS Basemem (640K) != RTC Basemem (639K)". I'm not positive that's the exact error, but it's close. Dunno if that's a red herring or not. Unfortunately, I our lab inherited this machine without proper EISA config diskettes, so I haven't been able to poke around the configuration yet. Also, I'm not sure exactly what the ethernet adapter is. I'm pretty sure it's made by SMC, and it's an EISA card dual channel 10Mb/s (BNC). Any ideas on what it might be and whether or not it's supported? I haven't actually looked at the card, and have zero documentation. It used the smce driver under Solaris. -- Brant Katkansky (brantk@atlas.com) Systems Test Engineer, ADC From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 20 11:44:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA01209 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 20 Feb 1996 11:44:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from nervosa.com (root@nervosa.com [192.187.228.86]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA01204 for ; Tue, 20 Feb 1996 11:44:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from nervosa.com (coredump@onyx.nervosa.com [10.0.0.1]) by nervosa.com (8.7.3/nervosa.com.2) with SMTP id LAA03648; Tue, 20 Feb 1996 11:44:21 -0800 (PST) Date: Tue, 20 Feb 1996 11:44:20 -0800 (PST) From: invalid opcode To: flavio xavier martins cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD installation In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 20 Feb 1996, flavio xavier martins wrote: > \dists\bin, \dists\floppies, and \dists\xf86312 to the dos partition.

There is an alpha pccard package out that will handle many ethernet and modem cards. We are running it on a Dell Latitude laptop and is doing wonderfully. Poke around in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming for something on pccards. There are (very well done) complete instructions enclosed Someone else may be able to fill you in on the details.

Altos 586/786 Xenix (probably won't run on standard hardware) Microsoft Xenix 286 (not nearly as good as SCO) SCO Xenix 286 (requires activation keys galore) Coherent (if you can find it -- lower quality than the others). Minix (you might find an older copy of the Tannenbaum book with a disk) You will need to buy them used and/or from an overstock/outdated warehouse. SCO is the only one that supports networking of any kind; it's not enough to do standard X, since the select() function is missing from most old Xenix drivers... besides, X is too large for a 286.

I purchased and installed a new PCI motherboard on the weekend for my computer. The new motherboard (A Hippo15, Award BIOS, UMC chipset, AMD4/120 CPU) has intergrated serial, parallel & IDE controllers. At boot up I get the message that 16550A's are detected on both sio0 and sio1. So far so good. After X11 comes up I can use my mouse on sio0 with no problems. I can even fire up a PPP connection to my ISP using sio1 and transfer files without any apparent problems. The problem arises when I try to start a UUCP transfer to my news and mail host. According to the log files the connection is setup and a transfer is started but it is aborted after several minutes with an error to the effect 'Too many I protocol errors'. This happens whilst it is downloading the first news batch. I have uncommented out the modem line in /etc/rc.serial and checked that RTS/CTS handshacking is set on the serial port. I have also checked that the HW handshake is set on the modem (as well as fixed modem<->serial port speed). This machine has been happily running UUCP for several years now, the only difference being the upgrade of the serial ports.

Here is the Specs Motherboard - lightning series w/ built-in SCSI support using an Adaptic 7840 chip CPU - 100Mhz Pentium Memory - 8 megs Hard drive - Conner 1.2 gig SCSI-II CD-ROM - Pioneer 4x SCSI-II Video card - Diamond Stealth When I tried to run install from the cd-rom I would get to the point where it would create the root partition on the Harddrive, but then it would just hang. I believe it is having some difficultly with the SCSI adaptor. Is there anything I can do to get this going? I also tried doing the install from floppy, with no luck. One last thing as a test I acquired anothe HD this time an IDE drive and I did a floppy install and this worked. It just decides to give me errors again when I try to install more programs from Disk 1 in the SCSI CD-ROM. Any help here would be appriciated.

I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 on a Pentium 100 (32Mb) with a Buslogic 946C SCSI controller and a 1.2Gb Seagate Hawk boot disk. I have had some difficulty partitioning the disk, but I have used the Fdisk utility supplied on the CDROM and it seems to be correct now. I do the whole install using the Novice method, and it all goes well until about 50% through writing the / partition when the kernel (booted from the CDROM floppy image) crashes with a page fault. I have trawled the web pages and the newsgroup archives and only found one similar instance - without an answer. This suggests that I may be doing something so obviously wrong that no-one thinks it is worth answering, or it may be a rare occurance. Regardless, I have tried all the variations that I can at present (I only have the CDROM option as my target machine is not installed on the net at present) including making a small DOS partition on the disk and limiting the freebsd partition to under 1Gb, but to no avail, the install continues to fail. Do you have any ideas what I am doing wrong, or what I may have configured incorrectly to cause these problems?

I'll have to write them down, then type them in at work. I don't think the screens driver works during boot, so the things that scroll off the top are lost. Until I can get them, here's the general idea finds real memory finds sio0,sio1 finds lpt0 finds fd0, fd1 finds wdc0 irq 14 finds wd0 (geometry is correct) finds wdc1 irq 15 finds wd2 (geometry is correct) finds aha0 finds cd0 finds npx0 panic cannot mount / reboot in 15 sec, .... The messages are similar if I put it on the first controler, only the second drive is wd1, not wd2. In either case at boot time it comes up with wd(1,a)/kernel, boots, but can't mount root when on wdc1. The motherboard is an ASUS PCI 486, and the CPU is an AMD DX4-100 It should be possible to boot from the second controler on the newer motherboards, and it can't be too unusual.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. The scrambler routine was stolen from a Minix posting from the mid 80's which was written because the default Minix password encrypter which could be reversed. Now, the scrambler routine might be reversable, but I don't know of any script to do that. When we first installed it it was pretty easy to 'reverse' the default encryption since the default was plain-text passwords, but moving from the scrambler to MD5 or DES might be difficult.

Questions are: 1.) In the config files for the host machine, do I need to make the second and third IP addresses available to config files in FreeBSD or does Apache just handle that? If the former, how do I do this? 2.) Can you give me a sense of the Virtual Host syntax to use in the httpd.conf file? 3.) What exactly does the .htaccess file do (in srm.conf)?

I believe it is having some difficultly with the SCSI adaptor. Is there anything I can do to get this going? I also tried doing the install from floppy, with no luck. One last thing as a test I acquired anothe HD this time an IDE drive and I did a floppy install and this worked. It just decides to give me errors again when I try to install more programs from Disk 1 in the SCSI CD-ROM. Any help here would be appriciated.

I am assuming this is possible with just a 'make world' ? [I have already subscribed to the CTM stable mailing list (ctm-src-2_1)] I'm somewhat confused after reading the various handbook sections. Section 16.2.3 (Starting off with CTM for the first time) states: Before you can start using CTM deltas, you will need to get a special ``base'' delta that provides the starting point for all deltas produced subsequently to it. You can recognize a base delta by the ``A'' appended to the number (src-cur.0341A.gz for instance .... Can someone spare a minute to outline the process to me .... - I'm expecting that I will need to first download the entire 2.1-stable tree ?? - I'm unclear where the CTM stable deltas are located - can someone let me know the URL. (couldn't see anything on freefall:/pub/CTM). - It appears I apply the last base delta, followed by all the following non-base deltas. Won't (most of) these base and non-base deltas I am downloading already be in the 2.1-stable tree that I downloaded ? Or am I missing something ?

I purchased and installed a new PCI motherboard on the weekend for my computer. The new motherboard (A Hippo15, Award BIOS, UMC chipset, AMD4/120 CPU) has intergrated serial, parallel & IDE controllers. At boot up I get the message that 16550A's are detected on both sio0 and sio1. So far so good. After X11 comes up I can use my mouse on sio0 with no problems. I can even fire up a PPP connection to my ISP using sio1 and transfer files without any apparent problems. The problem arises when I try to start a UUCP transfer to my news and mail host. According to the log files the connection is setup and a transfer is started but it is aborted after several minutes with an error to the effect 'Too many I protocol errors'. This happens whilst it is downloading the first news batch. I have uncommented out the modem line in /etc/rc.serial and checked that RTS/CTS handshacking is set on the serial port. I have also checked that the HW handshake is set on the modem (as well as fixed modem<->serial port speed). This machine has been happily running UUCP for several years now, the only difference being the upgrade of the serial ports. Appreciate any ideas, Regards, Mark PS Please CC: any replies to this e-mail address. My usual list subscription lies behind the UUCP connection so I won't see your reply - I'm at work now so this should work...

I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 on a Pentium 100 (32Mb) with a Buslogic 946C SCSI controller and a 1.2Gb Seagate Hawk boot disk. I have had some difficulty partitioning the disk, but I have used the Fdisk utility supplied on the CDROM and it seems to be correct now. I do the whole install using the Novice method, and it all goes well until about 50% through writing the / partition when the kernel (booted from the CDROM floppy image) crashes with a page fault. I have trawled the web pages and the newsgroup archives and only found one similar instance - without an answer. This suggests that I may be doing something so obviously wrong that no-one thinks it is worth answering, or it may be a rare occurance. Regardless, I have tried all the variations that I can at present (I only have the CDROM option as my target machine is not installed on the net at present) including making a small DOS partition on the disk and limiting the freebsd partition to under 1Gb, but to no avail, the install continues to fail. Do you have any ideas what I am doing wrong, or what I may have configured incorrectly to cause these problems?

You need instead to adopt if_vx.c and if_vxreg.h to work under the FreeBSD 2.1.0 release. I don't know what has changed from 2.1 to current. Some major changes are a reorganisation of the include-files. So you may need to play with that. And in the last weeks some changes for the bpf. If you can't find out the changes, maybe someone with cvs access can pull out an older release of the driver that can be more easily integrated. The first version of it entered the tree at 10/31/95.

The biggest gotcha involve one of 2 things. 1) Using the 3com supplied program, make sure your interrupts are set up correctly. Also, make sure the card is configured for shared memory operation AND the shared memory area is in line with your device probe information (and irq number too, of course.) 2) If you are using the card on a isa->pci bridge, make sure that you have the interrupt and shared memory marked 'as being used' by the isa card (so the PCI stuff won't use/stomp on your interrupts). THis should be in your BIOS somewhere. I've used these cards with FreeBSD for 2 years without a single problem.

I'll have to write them down, then type them in at work. I don't think the screens driver works during boot, so the things that scroll off the top are lost. Until I can get them, here's the general idea finds real memory finds sio0,sio1 finds lpt0 finds fd0, fd1 finds wdc0 irq 14 finds wd0 (geometry is correct) finds wdc1 irq 15 finds wd2 (geometry is correct) finds aha0 finds cd0 finds npx0 panic cannot mount / reboot in 15 sec, .... The messages are similar if I put it on the first controler, only the second drive is wd1, not wd2. In either case at boot time it comes up with wd(1,a)/kernel, boots, but can't mount root when on wdc1. The motherboard is an ASUS PCI 486, and the CPU is an AMD DX4-100 It should be possible to boot from the second controler on the newer motherboards, and it can't be too unusual. The application I'm looking at is a lecturer at a local uni who wants to install FBSD on some spare space on his third drive, then use the diskless boot from that box for a classroom of 486's TIA Peter Peter Stubbs, St Aidan's AGS. ph +61-07-3379-9911, fax +61-07-3379-9432 From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 20 17:22:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id RAA22198 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 20 Feb 1996 17:22:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from baygull.rtd.com (baygull.rtd.com [198.102.68.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA22186 for ; Tue, 20 Feb 1996 17:22:44 -0800 (PST) Received: (from news@localhost) by baygull.rtd.com (8.6.9/8.6.9.1) id SAA08416; Tue, 20 Feb 1996 18:22:31 -0700 To: questions@freebsd.org Path: freefall.freebsd.org!owner-freebsd-questions From: tim@fifth-avenue.com (tim kelley) Newsgroups: rtd.freebsd.questions Subject: Apache and Virt.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. The scrambler routine was stolen from a Minix posting from the mid 80's which was written because the default Minix password encrypter which could be reversed. Now, the scrambler routine might be reversable, but I don't know of any script to do that. When we first installed it it was pretty easy to 'reverse' the default encryption since the default was plain-text passwords, but moving from the scrambler to MD5 or DES might be difficult.

I did the installation about 15 or 20 times, from minimum to ALL, and it starts out fine (except for messages saying "my name does not seem to exist) and so forth and so on. X under windows is the one that crashes the most. For example while running a screensaver, the machine woiuld freeze and not respond to any commands; as a consequence of that the only way to get my machine back is by turning it off and on again... Well, that makes things worse, the fsck does not find all the files and/or directories that should be there, it fixes some but does not fix others. I did the -c booting process to eliminate conflicts, fine, it eliminates the conflicts but then it does not recongnize my CDROM Mitsumi (I did not delete it) What is wrong??? I did set the disk's geometry mannually because the system would show a different geometry configuration... I am a "newbie" with unix, but people that had advised me over the net (IRC #BSD) and guided me through the process of installation step-by-step suggested that the machine is broken, but I replaced the motherboard and the same thing happens. Please send me some e-mail information on how to solvet this problem. I would love to have a TRUE 32 bit OS working for godsake. Thank you for your time and consideration, and hope you can help me make it work.

The biggest gotcha involve one of 2 things. 1) Using the 3com supplied program, make sure your interrupts are set up correctly. Also, make sure the card is configured for shared memory operation AND the shared memory area is in line with your device probe information (and irq number too, of course.) 2) If you are using the card on a isa->pci bridge, make sure that you have the interrupt and shared memory marked 'as being used' by the isa card (so the PCI stuff won't use/stomp on your interrupts). THis should be in your BIOS somewhere. I've used these cards with FreeBSD for 2 years without a single problem. Good solid card, although showing its age recently. -- /-----------------------------------------------------------\ | Troy Curtiss, HW/SW Engineer | Email: troyc@merix.com | | Merix Corporation, F8-208 | Phone: (503) 359-9300 x54500 | | Forest Grove, OR 97116 | Fax : (503) 359-1624 | \-----------------------------------------------------------/ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 20 20:17:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id UAA02966 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 20 Feb 1996 20:17:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from baygull.rtd.com (baygull.rtd.com [198.102.68.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id UAA02952 for ; Tue, 20 Feb 1996 20:17:20 -0800 (PST) Received: (from news@localhost) by baygull.rtd.com (8.6.9/8.6.9.1) id VAA14173; Tue, 20 Feb 1996 21:17:07 -0700 To: questions@freebsd.org Path: freefall.freebsd.org!owner-freebsd-questions From: freebsd@kick.knooppunt.be (MailingListUser FreeBSD) Newsgroups: rtd.freebsd.questions Subject: Too Many Files open feeding INN Date: Wed, 21 Feb 1996 04:05:45 +0000 () Lines: 12 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: seagull.rtd.com Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi Friends, We use INN as our news-program.

You need instead to adopt if_vx.c and if_vxreg.h to work under the FreeBSD 2.1.0 release. I don't know what has changed from 2.1 to current. Some major changes are a reorganisation of the include-files. So you may need to play with that. And in the last weeks some changes for the bpf. If you can't find out the changes, maybe someone with cvs access can pull out an older release of the driver that can be more easily integrated. The first version of it entered the tree at 10/31/95.

I did the installation about 15 or 20 times, from minimum to ALL, and it starts out fine (except for messages saying "my name does not seem to exist) and so forth and so on. X under windows is the one that crashes the most. For example while running a screensaver, the machine woiuld freeze and not respond to any commands; as a consequence of that the only way to get my machine back is by turning it off and on again... Well, that makes things worse, the fsck does not find all the files and/or directories that should be there, it fixes some but does not fix others. I did the -c booting process to eliminate conflicts, fine, it eliminates the conflicts but then it does not recongnize my CDROM Mitsumi (I did not delete it) What is wrong??? I did set the disk's geometry mannually because the system would show a different geometry configuration... I am a "newbie" with unix, but people that had advised me over the net (IRC #BSD) and guided me through the process of installation step-by-step suggested that the machine is broken, but I replaced the motherboard and the same thing happens. Please send me some e-mail information on how to solvet this problem. I would love to have a TRUE 32 bit OS working for godsake. Thank you for your time and consideration, and hope you can help me make it work.

Currently hooked up I have two WD 1 gig drives, a 540mb maxtor, and a 1.622 gig maxtor, and on the SCSI partition, a direct access 340 meg SCSI drive. I also have a (currently unused) ATAPI cdrom. The first 1 gig scsi drive is being sent back to Gateway 2000 because of excessive bad sector problems, and I have moved almost all relevant partitions to the other drives (df/mount map included as an appendix). Now I'm about ready to switch, only my root partition and boot stuff is on wd0a, the drive I want to remove. How do I go about making a hard disk bootable from an existing config? I think sysinstall might be finagled into doing it, but I'm hesitant because I'd rather it didn't just install over my existing setup. wd2 is the 1.622 drive, and the drive I'd like to boot up off of in a day or two -- I've included the results of an fdisk, and a disklabel read in the second appendix. I anticipate one possible problem -- I did not allow space for boot code in front of the first partition (possibly?), and I read a note somewhere in an email about partitioning new drives that that might be needed. I assume that, once this is sorted out (if needed) I just use disklabel and move over my kernel and root partition trees to the prepared new root partition (/new/root). Any advice and suggestions as to how to implement this would be welcome! I would rather not overwrite my existing usr tree and so on by doing a full sysinstall, as things are tailored a lot to my needs ( I run a web server, CAP server, samba server, &tc..) so alternatives to that, or a tested and known routine for doing a reinstall and making sure my config and binaries are retained would be great. Thanks in advance for your much needed help! I'd apprecaite it if responses were emailed to me and posted to the questions newsgroup/emaillist. Thanks.

Cc: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I am running FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE on a 386/25 with 8MB RAM. I currently have a 540MB IDE harddrive split between DOS/WINDOWS and FreeBSD. I have an Adaptec 152x SCSI-2 controller with an external SCSI-2 7 disk CDROM changer. This all works fine. I just ordered a 730MB harddrive and a Conner 1.35 GB 1/4" Anaconda tape backup, both SCSI-2. I would like to put FreeBSD on the SCSI harddrive and let DOS have IDE. Now that I think I've covered the pertinent system specs, I have a couple questions: 1. What kind of problems would I be facing regarding using this SCSI controller/driver to run an all SCSI FreeBSD system? If I will need to buy a bus-mastering SCSI controller, I can, but I would rather not right at this moment. Is there an update to this driver that would allow me to utilize it's DMA features? 2. I remember seeing messages in one of the mailing lists recently regarding a similiar tape backup unit, but could not find them in the FreeBSD archives. (Yes, I did look. There are a whole lot of questions with the word "tape" in them. More specific searches didn't come up with anything, so I made a last ditch effort that did not pay off.) What kind of trouble am I going to get into with this drive? Does it work with FreeBSD? I think someone was talking about using different cartridges other than the DC9135 that are supposed to be used in it. What other cartridges will work? I kind of ordered these blind in the attempt to make my system more usable, because I got a pretty good deal on both. I was beginning to feel a little cramped regarding drive space and Colorado Jumbo 250 floppy tape drives suck. If anyone could answer any or all of the above questions, I would appreciate it.

Currently hooked up I have two WD 1 gig drives, a 540mb maxtor, and a 1.622 gig maxtor, and on the SCSI partition, a direct access 340 meg SCSI drive. I also have a (currently unused) ATAPI cdrom. The first 1 gig scsi drive is being sent back to Gateway 2000 because of excessive bad sector problems, and I have moved almost all relevant partitions to the other drives (df/mount map included as an appendix). Now I'm about ready to switch, only my root partition and boot stuff is on wd0a, the drive I want to remove. How do I go about making a hard disk bootable from an existing config? I think sysinstall might be finagled into doing it, but I'm hesitant because I'd rather it didn't just install over my existing setup. wd2 is the 1.622 drive, and the drive I'd like to boot up off of in a day or two -- I've included the results of an fdisk, and a disklabel read in the second appendix. I anticipate one possible problem -- I did not allow space for boot code in front of the first partition (possibly?), and I read a note somewhere in an email about partitioning new drives that that might be needed. I assume that, once this is sorted out (if needed) I just use disklabel and move over my kernel and root partition trees to the prepared new root partition (/new/root). Any advice and suggestions as to how to implement this would be welcome! I would rather not overwrite my existing usr tree and so on by doing a full sysinstall, as things are tailored a lot to my needs ( I run a web server, CAP server, samba server, &tc..) so alternatives to that, or a tested and known routine for doing a reinstall and making sure my config and binaries are retained would be great. Thanks in advance for your much needed help! I'd apprecaite it if responses were emailed to me and posted to the questions newsgroup/emaillist. Thanks.

I currently have a 540MB IDE harddrive split between DOS/WINDOWS and FreeBSD. I have an Adaptec 152x SCSI-2 controller with an external SCSI-2 7 disk CDROM changer. This all works fine. I just ordered a 730MB harddrive and a Conner 1.35 GB 1/4" Anaconda tape backup, both SCSI-2. I would like to put FreeBSD on the SCSI harddrive and let DOS have IDE. Now that I think I've covered the pertinent system specs, I have a couple questions: 1. What kind of problems would I be facing regarding using this SCSI controller/driver to run an all SCSI FreeBSD system? If I will need to buy a bus-mastering SCSI controller, I can, but I would rather not right at this moment. Is there an update to this driver that would allow me to utilize it's DMA features? 2. I remember seeing messages in one of the mailing lists recently regarding a similiar tape backup unit, but could not find them in the FreeBSD archives. (Yes, I did look. There are a whole lot of questions with the word "tape" in them. More specific searches didn't come up with anything, so I made a last ditch effort that did not pay off.) What kind of trouble am I going to get into with this drive? Does it work with FreeBSD? I think someone was talking about using different cartridges other than the DC9135 that are supposed to be used in it. What other cartridges will work? I kind of ordered these blind in the attempt to make my system more usable, because I got a pretty good deal on both. I was beginning to feel a little cramped regarding drive space and Colorado Jumbo 250 floppy tape drives suck. If anyone could answer any or all of the above questions, I would appreciate it.

There's too few interest, nobody of the ``classic'' hackers seems to have the hardware and/or time to do it. Of course, you are welcome to imporove it. :) You've got at least two of the missing things, hardware and interest. It looks that the guy who wrote the driver started to think about DMA, but didn't finish it ever. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 21 00:56:00 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id AAA19007 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 21 Feb 1996 00:56:00 -0800 (PST) Received: from spider.fivenet.ch (spider.fivenet.ch [194.148.20.20]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA19000 for < questions@FreeBSD.org>; Wed, 21 Feb 1996 00:55:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.fivenet.ch (194.148.20.141) by spider.fivenet.ch with SMTP (Apple Internet Mail Server 1.0); Wed, 21 Feb 1996 09:57:42 +0100 Date: Wed, 21 Feb 96 09:46:23 EST From: mnobile@fivenet.ch (Matteo Nobile) Reply-To: mnobile@fivenet.ch (Matteo Nobile) To: questions@FreeBSD.org X-Mailer: Matteo Nobile's PMMail v1.1 Subject: Installing and DES Message-ID: <1387225834-3046637@spider.fivenet.ch> Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, I've received the CD-ROM of the FreeBSD 2.1 and tryied immediately to install it. If I booted from the CD-ROM (SCSI Sony), the installation will not find my bustech controller (it's at IO 130 insead of default 330) so I've created a floppy (makeflp) and restarted with the "-c" option. I've indicated the IO region of the controller, cleared a 200MB Primary FAT partition and told installation it could go over installing from the CD. Everything started fine but after a few second the installation told my it cannot copy some files to the drive and asked if I want to retry. I answered yes, the installation retryed and stopped again saying something about DES crypto system not exportable (I live in Switzerland), that I should download something from a local FTP. Then the installation continued installing other part of the system (I've selected x-user), and again told me it had problem copying, ... After a few problem (all the same copying/DES problem) the installation told my I would had problem rebooting, in fact the sytem would not load. Actually I've played a little with fdisk of OS/2 and dos and restored my Bootmanager and OS/2... What do I have to do ? Is there a problem with the geometry of the drive ? what should I download and from where ? I did not find any answer in the readme files (view).

If I booted from the CD-ROM (SCSI Sony), the installation will not find my bustech controller (it's at IO 130 insead of default 330) so I've created a floppy (makeflp) and restarted with the "-c" option. I've indicated the IO region of the controller, cleared a 200MB Primary FAT partition and told installation it could go over installing from the CD. Everything started fine but after a few second the installation told my it cannot copy some files to the drive and asked if I want to retry. I answered yes, the installation retryed and stopped again saying something about DES crypto system not exportable (I live in Switzerland), that I should download something from a local FTP. Then the installation continued installing other part of the system (I've selected x-user), and again told me it had problem copying, ... After a few problem (all the same copying/DES problem) the installation told my I would had problem rebooting, in fact the sytem would not load. Actually I've played a little with fdisk of OS/2 and dos and restored my Bootmanager and OS/2... What do I have to do ? Is there a problem with the geometry of the drive ? what should I download and from where ? I did not find any answer in the readme files (view).

There's too few interest, nobody of the ``classic'' hackers seems to have the hardware and/or time to do it. Of course, you are welcome to imporove it. :) You've got at least two of the missing things, hardware and interest.

The Windows95 swap file is scattered to hell and gone all over the disk. To defrag the partition so that you can successfully cut it smaller, you *must* disable swapping, do the defrag, do the FIPS resizing, and *only* then reenable swapping. When you disable swapping in Win95, you actually end up killing the swap file. The file is locked in exclusive mode using IFSMgr_LockFile and uses the R0_SWAPPER_CALL flag in the PIOrequest field ir_options. Windows95 swap file operation is documented in Section 8.3.4 of the Installable File System (IFS) Specification, which a level II developer gets on the DDK CDROM under ddk\docs\win95ifs.doc. When the defragger asserts a volume lock, the FS_CloseFile() entry point for the installable file system is called with the ir_options bit for FILE_CLOSE_FOR_LEVEL3_LOCK. The close returns a pointer to the list of file record locks for each file in the ir_pos field so the locks can be reset when the LEVEL3_LOCK is released ("3" should be "4" here; the header files are right, the doc is wrong). Active swap files don't have their locked blocks relocated. Locks from VMM.VXD go through a different interface.

I don't think identd stuff is logged at all. Plus it's trivial to make identd lie, if you have root on any box anywhere.

The motherboard is an ASUS PCI 486, and the CPU is an AMD > DX4-100 The root is assumed to be on the first controller in the file: /sys/i386/i386/userconfig.c. Perhaps your BIOS is (incorrectly) leaving 0x80 instead of 0x81 in the unit number. Have you tried booting -c and changing the boot device at the config prompt so that it will modify the kernel image for subsequent attempts? This is different than booting the floppy and specifying the device as other than the floppy at the boot prompt. If the floppy kernel and the one on the disk do not match, you will be screwed. > It should be possible to boot from the second controler on the newer > motherboards, and it can't be too unusual. Booting requires that the BIOS drive number be correctly passed. The motherboard BIOS is only going to know about 0x00 (A:), 0x01 (B:), 0x80 (C:), and 0x81 (D:). You can not boot from a drive other than that. Since the problem is that you can't mount root, I suspect you have one of those bogus BIOS that doesn't correctly set the unit number in the d register.

I had no problems setting the system up with the cdroms as the kernel -c found the dirve and setup the software from it. Now that I have the system running on the HD.the system boots it finds each platter and tells me the size and verifys that there is a cd in the holder. where my problem comes in is trying to get a platter to load as so I can read the cds and load software. Even when the system boots it stops the search on the 6th platter and it stays loaded but when I go to cdrom and try to read it I can not see any info. I have not ben able to find much info on multi disk changers. I hope you can help me solve this delema. I have all the docs on the changers incase you may need any more specs on the drives.

During the probing for devices on the PCI Bus, it printed out the following: PCI0:4:AMD, Device=0x2020, class=storage (scsi) [Do Driver Assigned] Does this mean that I am not able to install FreeBSD with my current hardware, or is my controller similar to one on the list and I just have to correctly assigne it. One previous suggestion was to purchase a new PCI SCSI controller. I was able to copy some files from the CD onto part of my IDE hard drive to load FreeBSD from a dos partion, but I am hoping to be able to use both my SCSI hard drive and CD rom. Any help, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- Will ;) _____________________________________________________________________ William E.

My Internet connection is a leased line with 2 Zyxels, and this has funtioned flawless under 2.0.5. But under 2.1.0 there occurs a problem once the leased line has gone down and comes up again: - slattach informes about the missing carrier - and in due time the status the routing entry for the link is adjusted - then the lines comes up, but slattach only tells the system that the carrier has returned. The IP routing entry is not updated. NOTE: This is a fixed connection, so I have a permanent SLIP without login at the portmaster at the other side. It just always speaks SLIP to me. - If I kill the current slattach, and start a fresh one, then the routing entry IS updated. Now what can the problems be, and how do I detect them?

Try turning off TCP extensions by entering these two commands (as root): sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0 sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0 then see if the telnet's any snappier.

Perhaps some of it is intentional, and the rest is just plain weird. Could someone in the know please explain? cylinders=8388608 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 blks/cyl) Is this the fastest arrangement for modern disks? Apart from fooling the BIOS and for other operating systems, is there any sensible reason for using different translations than this one? The default FreeBSD slice was generated as follows: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 1, size 8388608 (4096 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 1/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 Why does the partition slice end on a cylinder previous to where it begins? (One of the examples in the manpage wraps much worse than this) Why does it end on a non-existent sector? (perhaps this one was operator error) Am I correct in understanding that FreeBSD only looks at 'start' and 'size', and the rest of the values are only used by BIOS and other operating sytems? This is not clear from the manpage. (okay, I have the source...)

You guys blame ANNEX too often for freebsd shortcomings. I have a mix of machines, some SCO, some linux some freebsd. Ive found tcp/ip problems between trumpet clients and freebsd boxes (the trumpet user MUST use van jacobson compression), between freebsd boxes on my own ring, and to ftp.cdrom.com, and between the other boxes and the freebsds, that I dont have between anything and the sco's, the linux's and my annexes. This is with or without the extensions bit turned off in sysconfig, or sysctl'd in 2.0.5 etc. I mentioned these problems before in the usenet areas - hear how its annex's fault, or ni general everybody elses fault, and that bsd's and thus freebsd's tcp/ip is the standard other are measured by. Which is great - but that doesnt do ya much if you are trying to accomplish a goal and you need a trouble free connection between boxes. Im not out to start a fight - I think FreeBSD has many wonderful features and I use it for a few things even though the tcp/ip has troubles. But if I have an application that requires solid, clean, machine to machine tcp/ip connections over which a lot of data must be pushed, i use SCO or linux. -------------------------------------------------- Stephen Hovey shovey@buffnet.net root@buffnet.net From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 22 05:05:39 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id FAA16583 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 05:05:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from iceonline.com (root@ns.iceonline.com [204.191.208.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id FAA16578 for ; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 05:05:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from edmbbs.iceonline.com by iceonline.com with uucp (Smail3.1.29.1 #1) id m0tpaam-001ZIUC; Thu, 22 Feb 96 04:57 PST Received: by edmbbs.iceonline.com (UUPM-1.51) id D4512qa Thu, Feb 22, 1996 05:03:11 EST From: sreid@edmbbs.iceonline.com Message-Id: <9602220503.D4512qa@edmbbs.iceonline.com> X-Mailer: UUPlus Mail 1.51 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: rlogin hangs Organization: EDMBBS Marketing Date: Thu, 22 Feb 96 05:03:10 EST Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have a problem, where rlogin works most of the time, but sometimes hangs... I think I saw this in the freebsd-isp mailing list a while ago, but that seemed to be under more stressful conditions... I'm currently using two P-100s running FreeBSD 2.1-Release, connected via ethernet. We will be getting an internet connection in a couple of weeks. Currently, I am the *only* person who uses these systems... I access one machine (Kirk) over a dial-up terminal, and connect to the other machine (Spock) with rlogin. Once in a while, rlogin just stops working. I'm sure I saw this discussed a while ago... If someone has a solution, let me know. If the problem hasn't been figured out, I may be able to help- A single-user network would be good for testing. I have nothing against using telnet, except for the security hole that was discovered last year. Telnetd would trust the environment variables sent when connecting, so it could be directed to use a hacked libc and give it root privileges...

Also, if you're a novice to emacs (I love emacs), you might also try uemacs, also in ports or packages. It has many of the features of emacs, but it is much smaller, and therefore comes up faster.

We changed in June '95 from Linux to FreeBSD (it is a relieve) and use bash instead of csh... I read somewhere that one can limit the open files per process in the INN-FAQ using csh. Of course the solution you propose is a lot more intelligent. The scripts accompagnying the INN 1.4 binaries (ported to FreeBSD), were written for bash, it took us some time to master the problem. Does someone have these scripts for csh? We are still running FreeBSD 2.0.5, and I didn't find sysparams.h, but I will go througt the compilation-docs again and I'm sure we will be able to fix the problem the way you propose. Thanks a lot for your good advice, and keep the good things going.

Rather than re-stating the obvious, I was hoping that someone with knowledge of a commercial port to FreeBSD would chime in and say, "Didn't you hear? There are talks underway between Walnut Creek and so-and-so...". I'm not about to give up BSD and move to Linux. Nevertheless, it irks me to see multiple commercial ports of the same product to Linux, while few (if any) are underway for FreeBSD.

You are using two legitimate IP addresses for the one interface on the machine using "ifconfig ... alias"? You are name-serving the IP addresses as the different machine names so that when apache does a library call on the socket to lookup the host name it gets the right name?

The dial and login chat scripts work and I do get connected to my provider. I get the proper routes and can ping my gateway and other machines on the inet. Sometime after I get connected my ping stops working saying that the network is unreachable and that its out of buffers. What is running out of buffers and how can I allocate more buffers?

Pony up. > The basic symptom is a stall - as though the sockets werent any good anymore without an error message. If my trumpet users do not have van jacobson compression turned on for instance, they can connect to my freebsd news server, but cannot successfully pull over the entire active headers - it stops after a couple records. (freebsd's virtual memory and disk buffering and the fact that linux crashed too much under the load is why i use freebsd anyways and make everybody turn on van jacobson) If I ftp to ftp.cdrom.com using a freebsd on my ethernet ring to theirs, I can connect ok, and things seem ok, unless I cd and ls too many times. I can maybe do 10 or 15 commands, and then it stalls. I can issue ls and it returns back like there are no files there or something. But I can cd and ls till Im blue with one of my sco's connected to that same ftp server. If I have a web site installed on a freebsd wherein the pages contains a lot of large graphics, they will come over half way and stall. Moving to sco or linux and it stops stalling. You dont ever get an error message in any of this - just a stall, as though the requested action completed, even though it didnt. This occurs with 2.0R 2.05R and 2.1R with or without the extended stuff turned off (where its possible to turn it off that is). I dont know enough of the underlying protocol(s) to know why it would do this. I theorize that some form of timeout or retry count somewhere is too tight or isnt getting reset or something. So whether or not Ive got an annex in the middle, a digiboard port server or Im on the same ethernet ring it does this - different machines (some are 486 and some are pentium). I do note that I have far less problem on slower machines with less ram in them. Especially the one 486/25 - it suffered the least problem of the lot - which is why I thought perhaps it was a timeout thing - like something counting loop iterations instead of using a clock.

If everyone here made a point of (via private e-mail, not in the list) telling people they will only get responses if they ask politely, this would only happen ONCE per unhappy user. Or perhaps we should just have my mother moderate this list. ;^) I usually just skip over these lately, but since both Joerg and Jordan got involved in this one, I thought I'd chime in to support them. There are many people here who are *very* helpful; I've received quite a bit myself, and given out some as well. Please help train these people to be civil and polite.

Lines: 66 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Dear Experts! Recently I faced with very curious situation and really need your help. Well, (main components of) the computer: - CPU: Pentium-S, 100 - MB: ASUS P/I - P55TP4XEG (PCI, ISA & MediaBus, P5 up to 150 Mhz, On Board PCI Bus Master IDE, Super :-) Multi-I/O; - Video: ASUS PCI - AV264CT (ATI Mach64 based + SoundBlaster), - NO other PCI or ISA cards. THE PROBLEM: - I was able to install FreeBSD 2.1R to that computer only with ALL SIO[0-3] DISABLED! The installation passed OK with this but the computer is *really standalone* :) No mouse, no modem :( - The computer boots normally only if sio-probings are switched off. I mean under "normally" that I get visible "login:". - If I enable any of sio? (it does not matter what is ? - 0, 1, 2 or 3; their BIOS allows to get what you whant) at very early stage of probings (I suspect at "sio") screen blanks. But what happens further does depend on sio-number. For some of them booting process continues (with blank screen) and finishes OK. I.e. I can login (blindly) and reboot (what else with blank screen?!). Works. For other values the machine hangs :( and I have to use Reset. THE QUESTION: - What is a reason for such behavior? And how to make this computer to work with both serials and video in a standard way. I installed FreeBSD to many boxes previously without any difficulties. MAYBE USEFUL INFO (from their VideoAudio-Doc): - Video Memory Address A000 - BFFF - Video BIOS Address C000 - C7FF - Video Port Address 102, 1CE, 1CF, 2E8, 2EC, 2ED, 2EE, 2EF, 3B4, 3D4, 3B5, 3D5, 3B8, 3D8, 3B9, 3D9, 3BA, 3DA, 3BB, 3DB, 3C0, 3C1, 3C2, 3C3, 3C4, 3C5, 3C6, 3C7, 3C8, 3C9, 3CA, 3CC, 3CE, 3CF, 3DC, all aliases (in what sense? M.S.), 46E8 - Video interrupt PCI system auto-configurable (I do not understand). - I/O Address occupied bye the Audio Card 200h - 207h Game Port 220h - 233h Audio Interface 330h - 331h MPU-401 UART MIDI Interface 388h - 38Bh FM Music Synthezier - IRQ Line Settings Audio 5 Mitsumi 11 I can see (from above) evident possible address conflict between video and "com4". But nothing obvious that could explain the described behavior of the system. Thank you in advance, best regards, Maksim. P.S. If possible send your ideas to mns@lpi.ac.ru please.

The Flashpoint won't be a good choice for any system running a free OS for quite some time to come, since BusLogic is not giving away the necessary information to write device drivers. Seems they are following the bad precedent set by Adaptec :( Try to complain to the dealer that sold you that system, or call BusLogic for a replacement by a BT948C which is supported by free operating systems (according to some article I read the 946C driver will work with very minor modifications, if you do not want to take advantage of Fast-20, which the 948 supports over the 946). It has been announced on some Linux newsgroup, that BusLogic will charge you $45 for that upgrade, if you claim to be running Linux :) Quoting from a message to "Comp.os.linux.announce" by "Leonard N. Zubkoff" : % BusLogic is not prepared at this time to release the information necessary % for third parties to write drivers for the FlashPoint. The only existing % FlashPoint drivers have been written directly by BusLogic Engineering, and % there is no FlashPoint documentation sufficiently detailed to allow outside % developers to write a driver without substantial assistance. While there % are people at BusLogic who would rather not release the details of the % FlashPoint architecture at all, that debate has not yet been settled either % way. In any event, even if documentation were available today it would % take quite a while for a usable driver to be written, especially since I'm % not convinced that the effort required would be worthwhile. % BusLogic asked me to send this announcement since a large percentage of the % questions regarding support for the FlashPoint have either been sent to me % directly via email, or have appeared in the Linux newsgroups in which I % participate.

The recommendation is to create a small DOS partition on the disk, then just delete it in the fdisk editor during install.

I think it could be having problems, the disk is a Seagate Hawk ST 31230N, the real geometry is 3992/5/103 we have tried 1010/64/32 (DOS likes this) and 998/40/51 with no success. Curiously, when the installer newfs's the partitions it gets the last parameter (sectors/cyl?) wrong and moreoever it makes the parameter for the last and largest partition /usr different to that for / and /var. But the crash is always the same, a page fault, which suggests somehow that the swap partition is not working too well, although does it ever swap when using 32Mb - or can the default kernel see 32Mb? I have also tried disabling the caches in the BIOS, but the results were similar in that the install failed, but it seemed to hang rather than generate a page fault that panics the kernel. I am unsure what to try next, DOS works fine, should I try FreeBSD 2.0.5? I have Linux available - is the installation process similar. I desire to get FreeBSD going in the end, but I would like to be able to narrow the problem down a little more.

I've got memory that works great under DOS programs that fails miserably under any multi-tasking OS. A PC memory test company even asked for my advice on how to improve their software when it was proven that the memory was bogus but passed all of their diagnostics. The *only* sure fire way to check memory is with a really expensive machine, or to try swapping your memory with 'known good' memory and seeing if the problems persist. Unfortunately, both of the above options are beyond what the average user can do. :( > But the crash is always the same, a page fault, which suggests somehow > that the swap partition is not working too well, although does it ever > swap when using 32Mb - or can the default kernel see 32Mb? > > I have also tried disabling the caches in the BIOS, but the results > were similar in that the install failed, but it seemed to hang rather > than generate a page fault that panics the kernel. Are you sure it's hanging and not just taking an *incredibly* long period of time to do it's business?

I have recently installed FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE on a SCSI HD. The intentional setup of this computer is for a WWW server... Therefore, when I installed the FreeBSD via FTP. (A Few Hours) :) I noticed that after the setup of the HD through Novice, It refuses to boot. The prompt "Default: F?" keeps appearing with "F1 . . . BSD" above it after hitting F1 several times. I was told that the geometry of the HD was the problem, so I specified the HD to be ENTIRELY for FreeBSD... No partitioning. And reinstalled it over the FTP AGAIN. Now this same problem appears. But the Defaults for the Novice may have interfered with this type of setup... I noticed that the Boot manager is not necessary for this type of operation. I only need FreeBSD on the server as the ONLY operating system... I am told that the boot manager can be removed and then it should boot normally... I really do not wish to re-install this system again... :( I look forward for your reply as urgently as possible. 73's...de...VE7JWK...John.

I'm using an SMC Elite 16 card on the BSD box and have NE2000's on the PC's attached to the network. The BSD box is the one that establishes and maintains the PPP link to the 'net. I want to do this for only a few days to see what is happening overnight on the network. I am the only user using the machines and want to see if someone on the outside is attempting to bang on some doors and see what ports may be vulnerable.

As a registered Trumpet user (yecch, to hear myself admitting the fact 8) I can happily observe that this isn't necessarily a Trumpet feature. Using both SLIP and PPP, with and without VJ compression, I can successfully smurf mail, news, DNS records and large web pages. (Small 386 under WfW 3.11). I _did_ experience severe problems with Trumpet and 16550-clone UARTs. Have you spoken to TSI about this?

Again, this isn't a generally-observed symptom.

Definitely a hardware problem. I'm coming in on this late, so a quick list of CPU, motherboard, chipset, disk controller would be helpful.

First is, when I reboot my machine, FreeBSD always fails to supply the password prompt the first time someone tries to log in after reboot. AFter that first time, no problems until I reboot again. What would be causing this? Second, in the rc.local file, how would I start XDM up only as a daemon, so that it will accept connections from other terminals, but not start up my Xserver on the console? I looked in the manual pages, and didnt see anything. Finally, again with XDM / X Windows - I was wondering if anyone else out there who is using X Inside's Accelerated X Server is having trouble when killing xdm. Perhaps I am just doing this wrong. To kill xdm, I always switch to a virtual terminal with ctrl-alt-function key, then type kill pid for xdm and kill pid for the X server. Without fail, this will cause the console to lock, and I have to telnet into the machine and reboot. Am I doing something wrong?

This sounds a lot like the connections are waiting for the 2MSL timer. This can happen if you trip over your own un-timedout connections by connecting to wcarchive, doing a bunch of quick ls's, disconnecting, and then reconnecting and doing the same thing. It will take 60 seconds for the old connections to timeout...there is nothing that can be done about this and still be compliant with the TCP/IP RFCs. There's a good discussion of this problem in the W. Richard Stevens book "TCP/IP Illustrated, volume 1". >If I have a web site installed on a freebsd wherein the pages contains a >lot of large graphics, they will come over half way and stall. Moving to >sco or linux and it stops stalling. Can't explain this...I'd like to see some hard information/analysis to back this up. I know of several FreeBSD WWW servers that are among the busiest on the Net and haven't heard of/seen this problem. In fact, "www.yahoo.com" is using FreeBSD and they swear by it (as opposed to "at" it :-)). In your case you might be running out of mbuf clusters. This is a very common mis- configuration problem that people make when using FreeBSD in WWW servers. It's easy to fix - just set the parameter correctly in the kernel config file. Try: options "NMBCLUSTERS=4096". On the other hand, it might a simple matter of some packets getting dropped. It would be worth your time to look at the TCP statistics via 'netstat -s' and interface statistics via 'netstat -i'. This may show some errors or packet lossage that might be caused by a slow network card, buggy driver in FreeBSD, or defective ethernet cabling. It would also help if you could provide more information about the hardware (especially the ethernet card) that you are using - we already know about most of the driver bugs and might be able to make some suggestions. >I dont know enough of the underlying protocol(s) to know why it would do >this. I theorize that some form of timeout or retry count somewhere is >too tight or isnt getting reset or something. I think you are seeing a variety of different problems all with different causes. Some of which are inherent in the TCP/IP protocol and some of which are caused by misconfigured hardware and software. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 22 20:45:05 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id UAA09866 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 20:45:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id UAA09860 for ; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 20:45:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id UAA00310; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 20:44:37 -0800 Message-Id: <199602230444.UAA00310@Root.COM> X-Authentication-Warning: implode.Root.COM: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol To: Rick Wissinger cc: "'questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 22 Feb 1996 21:28:40 CST." <01BB016C.BFB1D8E0@twoline> From: David Greenman Reply-To: davidg@Root.COM Date: Thu, 22 Feb 1996 20:44:37 -0800 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk >I have an Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI ethernet adapter.

All non-used devices have been "deleted" with the -c boot option program. The wierd problem I have encountered is as follows, and I certainly appreciate any advice you can give me - Upon booting, after the devices have been probed, and after the initial fsck, the system hangs 3 different times, but eventually boots sucessfully and with no error messages or time out msgs. I am concerned with a problem appearing on the net at a later date tho, and wanted to know if you have encountered this. The first hang is right after this console msg EP0: flags=863 mtu 1500 inet 206.29.15.68 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 206.29.15.127 ether 00:0a:24:2b:6b:f3 This hangs for about 3 minutesd Then the next 2 msgs Lo0:flags=8009 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.01 netmask 0xff000000 add net default: gateway 206.29.15.65 AT this point the sys hangs for about 5-7 minutes after which the sys gives another msg add net 244.0.0.0 gateway namesrv (the machine name itself) another long hang and then add net 244.0.0.0 gateway localhost - Any ideas? Or does this even indicate a prob? The system is functional as a nameserver after boot up, so it appears to work as far as I can tell.

I believe that inetd sets the "SO_REUSEADDR" socket option for sockets it manages, so this must be happening on the rlogin client side instead of the server... Can you tell me: Does the problem occur 1) from freebsd to anything, 2) from anything to freebsd, or 3) from freebsd to freebsd ? The problem sounds like (1) and is probably because some sockets that were used previously by someone else are now in a "TIME_WAIT" 2MSL state and this is 60 seconds long. What to do about it, well, that's another thing. The local port is supposed to be dynamically assigned to the next available port number since the local port for rlogin isn't important...HOWEVER, rlogin insists on having the local port be allocated out of the limited number of reserved ports (it asks for port numbers between 512 and 1023), while telnet has no such requirement (it asks for ports >=1024). The problem may very well be related to this and, if so, may also explain why telnet appears to work okay in the same environment. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 22 22:09:12 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA13976 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 22:09:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from tombstone.sunrem.com (tombstone.sunrem.com [199.104.90.54]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA13967 for ; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 22:09:09 -0800 (PST) Received: (from brandon@localhost) by tombstone.sunrem.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id XAA00755; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 23:08:26 -0700 Date: Thu, 22 Feb 1996 23:08:26 -0700 (MST) From: Brandon Gillespie To: freebsd@freebsd.org Subject: newsgroups/mailing lists Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Arrg, I appologize if this is the incorrect list in followup to the thread which seemed dead; I have forgotten which list the newgroup 'split' thread was one. I just wanted to mention that the major proponent for splitting a group is volume. Right now the FreeBSD group really does not have the volume which will lend significance to a split proposal. However, the mailing lists do :) What I'd like to see is a majority of the lists being dropped to news, with perhaps a mail->news link. Not only would this give volume and meaning to having a split throughout the FreeBSD usenet heirarchy, but it would also mean that those not wishing to have the sheer volume of mail in their mailboxes, but who also do not want to miss something, would be able to just subscribe to the newsgroup, which one is usually able to handle/manage in a more leisurely fasion. Just a thought. I have seen setups before where the group is accessible through a mailing list, and it has worked out quite well... -Brandon Gillespie- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 22 23:36:19 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA17303 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 23:36:19 -0800 (PST) Received: from wsantee.oz.net (wsantee.oz.net [204.118.240.207]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA17298 for ; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 23:36:15 -0800 (PST) Received: (from wsantee@localhost) by wsantee.oz.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id XAA00579; Thu, 22 Feb 1996 23:35:47 -0800 Message-Id: <199602230735.XAA00579@wsantee.oz.net> Subject: Re: cc in FreeBSD To: wollman@lcs.mit.edu (Garrett A.

Since our name was mentioned here ... The WinTurbo RAMDAC has a problem with 32bpp resolutions. Basically it looks like the maximum pixel-clock you can get is roughly 100MHz. That means it flickes somewhat. Xaccel uses a 24bpp mode (3 byte pixels), which needs less bandwidth for display. In this mode a maximum of 135MHz is possible. > If you like XFree86 then an S3 968 PCI with 4MB of VRAM is not a bad > choice either from #9 or Diamond.

If I were you I would perfer a 968 board over a mach64 board, if you want to do 32bpp. Have to be careful here not to say anything bad about any of our customers. - Thomas From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 23 04:37:25 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id EAA06736 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 23 Feb 1996 04:37:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from sasami.jurai.net (root@sasami.jurai.net [205.218.122.51]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id EAA06731 for ; Fri, 23 Feb 1996 04:37:23 -0800 (PST) Received: (from winter@localhost) by sasami.jurai.net (8.7.4/8.7.3) id GAA12596; Fri, 23 Feb 1996 06:37:55 -0600 (CST) Date: Fri, 23 Feb 1996 06:37:54 -0600 (CST) From: "Matthew N.

Yes indeed, but thats what I get for not sleeping. Since you seem to be of the mind that "if it doesn't work, go with something else", I suggest that you tell your customers to get a commercial TCP/IP stack. After all, its only shareware, and can't possiably be as good as "real" software. :) Now, since we seem to place some importance this free software thing, lets look at what we have so far. You. Your FreeBSD machines are causing/the cause of some problems on your network. - You said you use: SCO, Linux, and FreeBSD. - You use Annex terminal servers. - A significant number of your users are using Trumpet Winsock. Me. My FreeBSD machines are a source of great delight and niftiness on my network. - I have all FreeBSD machines (Ok, a bastard child Linux box too) - I'm using Livingston PM2e terminal servers. - Far too many of my users are using Trumpet Winsock. You observed a connectivity problem on dialup and network hosts alike. The dialup host problem may have been the same as the network host problem. You observed that smaller machines were aflicted the least, and speculated that the problem might be resource related. Now then... I'm not able to match your SCO boxes, but other than terminal servers we're doing the same thing. It might be the terminal server or it might be the (l)users (sneaky little buggers) or a combination of both. Someone suggested turning off the TCP extensions, which would be my first guess as well. Next, you should check for serial problems on the Trumpet side, and make sure your using the newest version of Trumpet. If you're using 2.0 (that may be the newest) then there is a problem with using an MTU of 1500 (check the Livingston-Portmaster mailing lists for more info on this on. Archives are on Livingstons www page). If that doesn't give you anything, try tcpdumping the dialup and see whats going on. If you can't see anything obvious, email me a disk log of a session. This leads you to the network host problem. Tcpdump would be a good starting point. Find out if the problems are reproducable, and if so under what conditions. > No - Its not in a ring - i just call it 'the ring' out of habit. Im not > that stupid. :) You chopped my smiley. I know, it was in jest, I don't think your stupid (forgive my knee jerk wit in responce to SCO advocacy). The people I was talking about (the ones what wired a 10Base2 as a ring) were from an IBM shop. I heard the network admin spent all day trying to figure out that one. :) Have a good one. | Matthew N.

Actually, it turns out that I had slightly mis-remembered; the `-s' switch doesn't serve any useful purpose here. So, a one-character shorter form would be: perl -pi.bak -e 's,//(.*)$,/*$1 */,' *.c And, of course, don't forget that this will cause syntax errors if ever a string or a C-style comment contains a literal `//' in it. These should be easy to find, however. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

(It does under Sun's SC3.0 CC ...) I believe I read in a a Stroustrup book (Design and Implementation of C++) that this was considered a potential problem but was not addressed in the syntax due to the fact that such a case was rare and confusing anyways.

I've done exactly this at a friend's house (I dial in but am normally up all the time), with the dual sys file entry; since 'alternate' will accept another port type all works fine; it doesn't even wait much to time out when the ppp link is down. If you do a uucp login through a terminal server make sure the ISP has configured the term server (and modems) to NOT use xon/xoff; one of mine had forgotten to do that (he remembered the modems but not the server) and uucp broke rather badly... If the server is a livingston, either have him add a user-id for the uucp session with a login type of TCP-Clear and a destination port of 540 on the right machine (I don't know how to do this on a Cisco, and if the server is another fbsd system then config'ing this is harder), or do a more complicated double dial-out at your place (if you use iijppp in demand-dial mode this is actually pretty easy; I tend to use pppd for the lower cpu overhead, and it won't work as easily.). -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 23 11:09:48 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA00611 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 23 Feb 1996 11:09:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.164]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA00606 for ; Fri, 23 Feb 1996 11:09:46 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id LAA05188; Fri, 23 Feb 1996 11:06:55 -0800 Date: Fri, 23 Feb 1996 11:06:55 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Not use Toshiba ethernet card.

A number of people here were working on a modified version of 4.3 which ran on VAXstations. This system became widely popular around the Lab, and became known as the ``allspice system'', because the software distributions were all synchronized to our group's server, named allspice. This reinforced the selection of spices as machine names, and as a result a number of groups (including ours) are still using spices. In our group, I think only pepper (the last machine of ours which is actually still running the allspice system), ginger (which has allspice as a CNAME), and tabasco remain. A few years ago, the group switched to moons, and we have a whole bunch of these, now. When I came here, I took a dislike to the moons, and started using swords from Diane Duane novels. (When at UVM, I used horses from Robin McKinley stories.) Of course, my machine follows none of these. (It used to be adrastea, a moon, but now it's halloran-eldar. A booby prize for anyone who can determine the origin...) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Someone had the bright idea of buying a box of 64 Crayola Crayons, and wrote out all of the names of the crayons and picked names from there. The servers were named Binney and Smith, the makers of Crayola Crayons. This allows cute stunts such as creating X colors that are similar to the crayon colors. One of the lab workers actually spent a night doing this and configured XDM on each machine to have the appropriate background color. Unfortunately, they take the machine's color into account when placing them (in fact, placement was relative to length of name, what a computer-person thing to have done) so it wasn't as eye-pleasing as it could have been.

In other words, they want to play X-Tank (such are the privileges of rank). Therefore, I am looking for a unix variant that I can install and run on one of the myriad PC's here. FreeBSD has come highly reccommended to me and looks very impressive from the information I have received about it, but there are a few questions about it that I haven't found answers to in the FAQ or other documents I have. 1. I want to install it on a Pentium with an Enhanced IDE controller, three Conner 1.2GB EIDE drives, and an IDE CD-ROM drive. Will your operating system be able to use all three hard drives and the CD-ROM? Additionally, will you OS support hard drive partitions above 500 MB? 2. I have been told I can only install a new OS on one of the division machines if it can exist simultaneously with the copy of Windows95 currently on the machine (I HATE Windows95). This way other people in the division will still be able to use the machine and it won't be 'wasted' on the Unix OS. Is there a tool similiar to the OS/2 boot manager for your operating system that will allow both both operating systems to exist on the same machine? If so, will the Windows partitions still be visible to the FreeBSD OS when running FreeBSD and vice versa? The different operating systems do not have to be on the same partition. 3. I know your OS supports TCP/IP. Does it also support Novell Netware and/or the Windows for Workgroups protocol? Thank you for your time in answering what are probably stupid questions. I look forward to receiving your reply.

No. Use S3-based cards like the #9 Motion 771 or Diamond Stealth64 VRAM. The XFree S3 server kicks serious butt. I've had great results with one of the #9 cards at 1280x1024x16 on a cheap Sony 17sf. Mind you, the PCI S3 DRAM cards are awfully quick as well; unless performance is a critical issue I'd strongly encourage you to consider evaluating them as well. > Seppo -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

Well, we are running smail 3.1 there and not sendmail.

I know that for sure; that is part of why I'm not using sendmail except for a few (mostly Sun) sites. The sendmail.cf that works is a modification of Sun's 'leaf' configuration to use uucp for the default transport instead of ether, and to do domain addressing instead of uucp '!' addressing. I'll see if I have a copy on this machine and if so will send it here: The changes from Sun's are the 'major relay mailer' ether->uucp, and the rule numbers in the uux command line. I'll add #PAC comments in the changed places...

This isn't the problem. The problem is either (a) that the modem is sharing the same interrupt as COM2, which is illegal under FreeBSD, or (b) the modem diesn't have a real UART on it, and responds too slowly. To the original poster; boot with the '-c' flag and say 'flags sio3 0x80' and then 'quit'.

Well, my story: I have a DX/2 50Mhz Dell system on which I had been happily running 1.1.5.1R for a while. I recently bought a 1.2GB drive (WD Caviar 31200) to replace a 170MB drive, on which I put a partition for Windows 95. In order to get my machine to recognize the big drive, I had to buy an EIDE card and disable the CMOS drive settings. The card I bought is a GSI Model 18 EIDE card, suggested by Dell, who is making a bundle off people like me with old computers. Ok, here's the interesting part (relatively speaking). I ran the install floppy with no problem. The installation sees the drives as wd2 and wd3, as I expected. The installation itself was easy, and I commend everyone who worked on this, as it made my 1.1.5.1R install look like general relativity theory. Booteasy works great with Win 95 and boots the BSD partition no problem. I hit return to boot off "wd(0,a)", hesitantly, and the kernal boots! Great, I'm all set, right? No, after the hardware scan, it goes to find the filesystem (I think), and I get a kernal panic with a message to the effect of (and I paraphrase, sorry): "cannot mount root filesystem" My read on this is that the GENERIC config file has (my guess here): boot on wd0 swap on wd0 with the possibility of "wd0" replaced by "wd0 and sd0", which doesn't matter to me. So, my question: What do I do about this, to make the thing boot the whole way? And, should I replace the "boot on wd0" portion of my new config file with "boot on wd2"? Please note: If I tried to load the kernel from wd(2,a)/kernel, it gives me an error. The default loads it fine; it's just that it dumps when it trys to find the filesystem. Also note, the installation floppy mounts the filesystem with no trouble, and shelling out (from the term program) shows everything to be where I would expect. Also, I managed to shell out with the installation floppy and checked the /dev/fstab file. It appears that "/" is to be mounted on "/dev/wd2a", whereas "/usr" is to be mounted on "/dev/wd2s2f". I figure that it's the way it is for a reason. But, I must ask, is "wd2a" equivalent to "wd2s2a" here? At any rate, this must be secondary, since the boot doesn't seem to get to /etc/rc. I'm really confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Essentially, the system will have been up for a day or two, and the users (other than root) will have difficulty in the /usr (or other) partition. The prime symption is an error using ls in which the user is informed that permission was denied while reading .. from /usr. Initially my response was: somehow a chmod og-rx / occured, and so the user simply can't read the root, which would make sense. This wasn't the case. Then I thought perhaps the .. directory pointer in /usr had suffered the same fate, except it was also fine. Root could see the directory entry for .. fine, but normal users could not. the pwd would return a getwd error, and so on. This is not an ideal arrangement :). I shutdown this morning to single user mode, and performed: umount -a mount -a and returned to multi-user mode, and the problem still wasn't fixed. I rebooted and went into single user mode, removed the /usr mountpoint directory, and then recreated it, and went up multi-user, and it was fixed. Any advice as to what might be causing this would be much appreciated. fsck failed to show any errors on boot, so I'm really not sure where to turn next. If possible I'd like to prevent this from recurring..

Because of the lack of demand dialing capability, I'd like now to switch to the user ppp (aka iijppp). In the first place, I've tried to do a manual connection, by means of the term program. And soon, the half of the problem: when the number is dialed, the login is performed successfully, the ISP prompts me to "active the PPP software", but the PPP prompt does not switch automatically from lower case to upper case letters, until I give the ~p sequence, which is not that automatic detection is described in the man pages. Worse still, attempting to perform the automatic procedure, my PPP software just hungs. I suspect that my ISP doesn't send properly the LCP config request, just waiting me to do so (with the ~p command). In a different environment, when connecting to a PPP dialin server (Solaris 2.4 based) set up in my own workshop, no problem at, either manually or automatically. The connection promptly establishes. Notably this time the dial in server unsolicitedly sends its LCP packets sequence. Is there an option into the PPP software, that I am evidently missing connecting to the peer of my provider?

You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying.

Netcom is our pri and sec name server I believe they routed all incomming calls to www.fifth-avenue.com and www.nysource to aristotle in their routing setup. I have set up 2 aliased IPs --206.215.163.50 and .51 with correct netmask values...I can ping them I call my ServerName www.fifth-avenue.com I set up one Virt.Host = www.fifth-avenue.com with DocumentRoot = /fifthavenue and the other as www.nysource.com, ServerName www.nysource.com Document Root /citysource Here's what's happening-- whatever VirtualHost is listed LAST in the httpd.conf file THAT'S the Documentoot that is acting for both. In other words, if www.nysource.com is the last VirtualHost in httpd.conf and Dodument Root is /citysouerce BOTH Hosts serve from that directory. Other way around, and bingo -- /fifthavenue is the docroot for both. First it was funny, then a puzzle, now, after i gotta say 16 hours of apache, it's a real drag. I reloaded apache twice, I've tried all sorts of configs, but what seems to be happening is one of two things...either the 2 domain names are so tied by Netcom that they can't be separated so that in effect www.nysource.com and www.fifth-avenue.com are like one domain and apaache just takes the last DocumentRoot because it can't see the difference between them OR it has something to do with using my primary and secondary domain names incoorectly. Anyway, if anything hits you, please let me know...We're setting up a training center primarily for kids (cheap -its not a money making thing) and I've got more problems right now than the Republican party. We couldn't figure out DNS in the short time we have to get *something* up and running, but that is on my list and we'll be moving nameserver action away from Netcom> There are still a couple of things I don't get about our doing DNS.

I've got a 3HW53-4E, which is a "3-button", serial mouse. It isn't a TRUE 3-button mouse, because the middle button is the same as pressing the left and right buttons simultaneously. I'm not sure what the difference is between -2E and -4E, but here's how mine works, with a modification that turns it into a TRUE 3-button mouse. (thanks to some inside info from Honeywell tech support). The first step is minor surgery on the mouse. If you look at the belly of the mouse, with the cord up, you will see three tabs holding the cover on the mouse. One at the upper left, one at the upper right, and one at the bottom center. Pry the sides of the cover outward near the left and right tabs to release them, and the cover pulls off easily. Now, look at the circuit board. On mine, there is a label at the upper left corner that reads "HW-71106 [2] CPS". Hopefully, your -2E uses the same circuit board. If so, you will see a 5/8 inch vertical wire at the bottom center of the board that has the label "J3" to the left of its lower end. If you cut wire "J3" and move the ends so they don't touch, that turns the Honeywell mouse into a Mouse Systems compatible 3-button mouse. (You probably want to do this in a way that allows repairing the wire with a drop of solder if you ever want to reverse the surgery.) No, I'm not responsible for any damage you may cause to your mouse. All I can say is "Mine works great!" Once that surgery is done, you can just tell xf86config that you have a Mouse Systems 3-button mouse, and it'll be happy. If you also are running Windows 95, you may notice that Mouse Systems doesn't show up on their list of mice. I found the Mouse Systems driver on the Win95 CD in the \drivers\mouse\mousesys directory. Just tell Win95 that you have a disk and point it to that directory, and it'll install the driver. If you wish to use the mouse under DOS, check what version of hmouse.com you have. When they told me how to make this modification, Honeywell sent me the latest version, 8.20b, that has a command-line option /mo to tell it that your mouse is Mouse Systems compatible. If you have an earlier version of hmouse.com, you may or may not have that option. If not, I'll be glad to send you a copy of 8.20b. Good luck!

What is so interesting about that > type of mouse that it prevents you from buying a 15.00 bucks OEM mouse > speaking todays mouse protocols? What's interesting about it is the "New, patented X-Y axially-inclined optical encoder technology" and "The unique patented design of the Honeywell Mouse allows it to work on any surface at any angle - no special pad needed!" If you dig through that marketing hype, you get this: It's a high-resolution mechanical mouse that doesn't use a ball. That means that it doesn't need a special pad like an optical mouse, but it never ever ever needs cleaning like a ball mouse. Quite simply, it's the best mouse mechanism I've ever run across. > If that mouse works under Windows there might be a chance that it > understands the protocol option "MicroSoft". But from the name > 'Honeywell' I guess it is a pre-PC times model. Nope. I got mine in '92. As for protocols, it speaks "Honeywell". But, as I explained to the person asking this question, it's possible to tweak the mouse to make it speak "Mouse Systems". > If you particularly like the ergonomics of that mouse you might > also try to exchange the innards by means of some hardware hackery. Like I said above, it's the innards, not the ergonomics, that make the mouse so special. This particular model was discontinued a few years ago when Keytronic bought the Honeywell Keyboard Division, but last fall Keytronic released a new mouse that uses the Honeywell technology. If you call them at (800)262-6006, they can tell you the model number and where to find it.

PCMCIA support doesn't exist in 2.1. There are support for some PCMCIA cards (notably the 3C589), but generic support isn't there yet. In -current there is better support, and I'm working on integrating some stuff from the BSD Nomad group in Japan into both -current and -stable. However, the APM code is a bit of a hairy situation right now. I'm not expert in it and I have no documentation, although I'm trying to work with the a couple folks to sort the APM situation out, as well as the PC-CARD support. > I'd rather not have to do any programming, but if that's the shortest > path to completion, I want to hear that too. We could use some more 'programmers' right now to help figure out what's needed with both PC-CARD and APM support.

I would HIGHLY recommend trying the alpha PCCard drivers. We installed them on a similarly equipped machine (with similiar PCMCIA cards) and it is working great. Should be on ftp.freebsd.org. Complete instructions included. APM doesn't work well with an OS like FreeBSD, anyway. UNIXs like to use the disk a lot.

I got some kind of warning when i first mounted it. Ok, I'll assume this is a 1.6G DOS partition. It would be very helpful to know what the warning was, although I would suspect it'd be "root direcory is not a multiple of the cluster size". 1.6G is a really silly size for a DOS partition, incidentally 8) > Oh yeah it was formated with lba cmos value for 1.6 gig and it had 3 > meg's of bad partition's.

That's bad sectors, not partitions 8) DOS partitions over 540 are fine, with the caveat that the current MSDOSFS code is a little fragile when it comes to oddly laid out partitions. > My second question is if i can't get the whole 1.6 > gig partition how do i go about blocking out the 3 meg's so i can > have like a 540 meg dos and whatever's left for FreeBSD. If you want to put FreeBSD on the disk in a fashion that will deal with the bad sectors, you'll have to do it in two partitions. Put a DOS partition at the beginning of the disk, leave some space after it before the 500M mark. Then install FreeBSD. In the slice editor during the installation, make two FreeBSD slices. The first should fit under the 500M mark, the second can be as big as you like. Perform the bad sector scan on both of them. In the label editor, put at least the root filesystem in the first slice. This puts the root filesystem and the bad144 sector replacement information for it in reach of the BIOS used during booting. > P.S almost forgot to mention that this is under FreeBSD 2.2 as of a > few day's ago.With a Western digital 1.6 gig IDE drive.

OK you have a good point here. Well I'll boot now with fstab containing sd0a instead of sd0c and it won't boot.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm running freebsd 2.1.0 and using user ppp and it connects fine to my isp and I get ip numbers and can ping the world. However, when I start to transfer a file through ftp, or try something in chimera, my whole network layer hangs. I'm running an external motorola bitsurfer pro at 115200 buad and the bitsurfer configuration works fine. I've set NMBCLUSTERS=4096, but this doesn't seem to have helped. Mostly otherwise I'm running the GENERIC kernel. As soon as I can get the kernel configuration file to work I'll post it, but in the mean time can someone, multiple someones, post their kernel configuration files showing how they are able to connect to bitsurfers/modems using user ppp that works?

It works very good except a few problems. One of which is bothering me. After I do the 'mount -t cd9660 /dev/mcd0 /cdrom' and it works, I can not swich the CDs unless I unmount it. I do not like unmounting and remounting every time I want to swich the CD. Why can I not swich the CD while mounted? How can I make it so I don't need to unmount it? Can you help?
