Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hey Folks, I was just helping a friend install FreeBSD (2.2-960321-SNAP if I remember right) on his PC. (Quantum XP34300-S 4.3GB, NCR 53c810). Two problems arose. First, we couldn't recognize the CDrom drive during the install. We worked around that problem by installing the HD in another machine and installing there. (The cd was recognized on boot up, and I saw that it probed successfully from the boot stuff.) The next problem...when I said I wanted to use the entire drive for FreeBSD, I was asked if I wanted to use a geometry that would allow me to have other OS's later. I said yes. We installed, everything looked fine, and..."No OS found" on boot up. I installed the boot floppy, and at the boot: prompt I typed sd(0,a)/kernel and it worked fine! I tried the standard MBR...I tried booteasy. Nothing would find /kernel and actually boot. Then, I made a rash decision and *didn't* set up the drive to do this geometry thing I just mentioned. Lots of warnings in the menus, then it went ahead and did it. This time, it worked fine! I've never had this problem before. Can anyone suggest what I was doing wrong? Thanks, Brian PS: After we got FreeBSD installed on the HD, it recognized the cdrom fine. I...just...don't...get it!

Did the partition editor show all your DOS partitions correctly with the correct size and type? In any case, try again, and when it fails, press Alt-F2. This will show you a debug screen.

Gigabyte is also in the same league as ASUS. We have dealt with both Tyan and Supermicro products, the philosophy they follow is different than the one Asus and Gigabyte follow. Gigabyte thinks that if a board is introduced too soon - and compatability problems are found - then its reputation will be at stake - and that is bad for future business. Asus also thinks this way, but not as much as Gigabyte. Both manufacturers thoroughly test thier products. The other two - think that the vantage point is being the first on the block to get the product introduced. There is a difference and it shows up in the product. =========================================================== Eb Farris http://www.surfusa.com/surf/mall.html efarris@surfusa.com Check out website for Motherboards / Systems =========================================================== BTW, the above is my opinion based on my experience :-) From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 2 05:58:54 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id FAA17726 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Jun 1996 05:58:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wood.helios.nd.edu (hyan@wood.helios.nd.edu [129.74.217.24]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id FAA17720 for ; Sun, 2 Jun 1996 05:58:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (hyan@localhost) by wood.helios.nd.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id HAA07464 for ; Sun, 2 Jun 1996 07:58:50 -0500 Date: Sun, 2 Jun 1996 07:58:50 -0500 (EST) From: "Hong Yan (Karen)" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: unsubscribe questions Hong Yan hyan@bach.helios.nd.edu In-Reply-To: <199604300906.LAA00454@allegro.lemis.de> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk unsubscribe questions Hong Yan hyan@bach.helios.nd.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 2 06:31:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA18687 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Jun 1996 06:31:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: from lenzi ([200.247.7.213]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id GAA18626 for ; Sun, 2 Jun 1996 06:29:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from lenzi@localhost) by lenzi (8.6.12/8.6.12) id KAA05556; Sun, 2 Jun 1996 10:24:10 -0300 Date: Sun, 2 Jun 1996 10:23:44 -0300 (EST) From: "Lenzi, Sergio" X-Sender: lenzi@lenzi To: Syntichakis Christopher cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Shared library ... ?!

OK, I'll do that. The manual for the controller states that all seven IDs are set as 80-87, but I guess bteasy won't allow that.

If you are looking for a relational database, at the lightweight end is mSQL and at the other end is Postgres. I've been using the latter and it works pretty well although it is not too speedy. It comes with an interactive command based interface, and programming interfaces for C, C++ and tcl. A perl interface is also available. There is also a commercial offering called cbase for which you can get a demo version. Look at http://www.freebsd.org/commercial.html for details on that one. Postgres can be found at http://s2k-ftp.CS.Berkeley.EDU:8000/postgres95/. Sorry, I don't have a pointer to mSQL at the moment.

Last week I reported my problems in patching the source tree with delta #111. The problem was essentially the symorder statement which was passed to a -c option, to be considered really invalid, according to the symorder man page. In absence of any clues how to fix, I've guessed just to replace the -c with a -m, to force going ahead even with missing symbols. This made at least the compile not to stop, despite leaving the system in a quite relatively unknown state. In fact, to day, I've patched 112 and 113 altogether, and I got the following: .... tsort: cycle in data tsort: bt_delete.so tsort: bt_seq.so setinvalidrune.so: Definition of symbol `_setinvalidrune' (multiply defined) rune.so: Definition of symbol '_setinvalidrune' (multiply defined) rune.so: Definition of symbol '_setrunelocale' (multiply defined) serunelocale.so; Definition of symbol '_setrunelocale' )multiply defined) *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. I'dont know if this problem could be related to my bad patching in delta 111 with subsequent deltas 112 and 113. Is anyone passed uninjured over deltas 111 trough 113? Best regards, Marco M.

You can fix this by editing root's .cshrc file to add /usr/X11R6/bin to the list of directories in the path entry. However, it's normally regarded as good practice not to run commands as root unless you really have to - any mistakes can be very expensive! 8-) Most people start X as themselves and then open a xterm, use the 'su' command to become root in that xterm and do everything else as themselves - the root xterm's always there if you need it. > type startx it works.

In fact, root should *never* have the current directory in the path, as it is a potential security hole. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland | http://freefall.freebsd.org/~jraynard/ james@jraynard.demon.co.uk | jraynard@freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jun 2 11:39:30 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA03127 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Jun 1996 11:39:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from blaze.trentu.ca (pysar@BLAZE.TRENTU.CA [192.75.12.200]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA03121 for ; Sun, 2 Jun 1996 11:39:28 -0700 (PDT) From: pysar@trentu.ca Received: by blaze.trentu.ca (5.65/DEC-Ultrix/4.4) id AA20904; Sun, 2 Jun 1996 14:39:13 -0400 Date: Sun, 2 Jun 1996 14:39:13 -0400 Message-Id: <9606021839.AA20904@blaze.trentu.ca> To: questions@freebsd.org X-Url: mailto:questions@freebsd.org X-Mailer: Lynx, Version 2-4-2 X-Personal_Name: Sacha Raposo Subject: Installation Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I will be getting a new computer in the next few days (a p100) and I want to install Free BSD on it.

After configuring the kernel (with all the correct IRQs and addresses) and going thru the novice installation process, the setup will do some initial copying from the boot image and then stop with a "Failed to create root distribution" message. This occurs when trying to install from a DOS drive or from floppy drive (after asking for the root floppy image). I have followed all "Preparing for installation from xxx" instructions. Unfortunately, I think I already know what the problem is. I am using an EIDE controller card and an EIDE Western Digital 1.6G hard drive and the hardware text files do not state compatabiltiy with these components. It does not mention Enhanced IDE drives at all. So I guess my real question is "Does FreeBSD support Enhanced IDE drives?" If not, then I will already know what I have to do :( If so, then how do I proceed from here? Any support will be greatly appreciated 'cause I am very excited about getting FreeBSD up and running.

Was it detected by the kernel when you booted ("dmesg | grep atapi")? Also regarding two masters, I read in an FAQ somewhere that by putting a hard disk on the same IDE controller with a slower drive like an IDE CD-ROM, the hard disk will have to talk at the slower rate if the interface doesn't support separate timings for master and slave devices. You may have checked into that, but if not you might want to. I chose to avoid the issue altogether and put my IDE CD-ROM on the second controller.

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"**). In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. Nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. 4. Please don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 5. Please specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 6. If you don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for this activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it.

If you don't have free space to do this, don't pass go, do not collect $200. Assuming you allocate disk space, you probably *don't* want to install the boot manager so your dad doesn't get annoyed each time he turns the machine on, since he probably wants it to jump straight into DOS. You can either build a boot floppy (a long process that was described today on the -questions list -- see the archives at www.freebsd.org), OR you can run the DOS program "fbsdboot.exe", which will, from a DOS prompt, reboot the machine from the second stage boot loader in the BSD parition. You will have to copy it to the DOS disk somewhere, and run it when you want to switch to FreeBSD.

My Configuration is this - I have a FreeBSD machine which uses PPP modem dialup to a xylogics annex terminal server which connects me to the internet. My FreeBSD machine is on an ethernet LAN with Windows 95 client machines. My FreeBSD machine is configured like this - I use ppp to dialup to the terminal server, log in, and then I configure the tun0 interface and default route as follows. ifconfig tun0 203.17.165.101 203.17.165.101 netmask 255.255.255.128 route add default 203.17.165.101 where 203.17.165.101 is the IP address assigned to me by the terminal server. I then configure my ethernet interface in the following way - ifconfig ed0 203.17.165.129 netmask 255.255.255.128 where 203.17.165.129 is the IP address I gave to the network card on the FreeBSD machine. As you can see I am subnetting the Class C address's that are assigned to us. I am doing this since I am trying to route between two differnet physical networks ( my ethernet and dialup line ) and as far as I know in order to do this they must be on different subnets. Am I right here???? At this stage, I can connect to the internet OK from my FreeBSD machine and I can connect to my FreeBSD machine from my Windows 95 clients, but I can't connect to the internet from the Windows 95 clients. The FreeBSD machine doesnt seem to be routing between my LAN and the internet ( I have the GATEWAY option enabled in the /etc/sysconfig file ). What I did next was see if I could ping our terminal server from my win95 client machines. I couldnt. I then connected into our terminal server and added a route to one of the win95 client machines to see what happened. ( route add 203.17.165.130 255.255.255.255 203.17.165.101 on the annex, where 203.17.165.130 is the IP number I assigned to the win95 client ). I could then ping the terminal server from the client machine and vice versa but I still could'nt go past the terminal server. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem.

If not, what are people doing to take care of the quota issue? I love FreeBSD too... To enable quotas add the following line to your kernel configuration file OPTIONS QUOTA Edit /etc/sysconfig and turn on the option you mencioned before. To enable quotas on a filesystem edit /etc/fstab and change the entry to default rw,userquota,groupquota 1 1 Then reboot your machine. To edit quotas for one user just run the command edquota . Other important commands are quotacheck, repquota, quotaon and quotaoff. The first updates the quota files (if quotas are working this command you should not need to run this command so often), the second shows the blocks the blocks used by the users and groups, the third turns quotas on and the last one turns quotas off. For more information see the man page of these commands. If you have any doubt send mail to the list or to me. I hope that this reply helps you...

My understanding: Even in the system that requires metric parameter in route command (e.g. SunOS), "metric" doesn't mean much. It just has a meaning whether it's zero or non-zero. The former creates a routing table for directly-connected host/network (without -G flag) while the latter creates one for not-directly-connected (with -G flag). It doesn't matter whether the metric is 1, 2, 3 or whatever greater than zero. This is probably the reason why recent system (including FreeBSD) doesn't require metric parameter in the route command. Since a routing table for a directly connected network is created when the interface is initiallized with ifconfig command, 'route add' comamnd creates an entry for not-directed-connected host/network in the routing table. Is this understanding correct? Is there any usage of the metric parameter in route add command? One possibility is the case it's compared with the metric exchanged by RIP, but I'm not sure... === Motonori Shindou Tokyo Electric Power Comany, Inc.

I have just got my hands on your FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM and tried to install it on my system. After some time, I finally got to the 'reboot now' stage. Upon rebooting, System Commander detected FreeBSD correctly (I later tried with the supplied Boot Manager, with the same behaivor so this is not the problem.) I had installed it on the first partition of my second hard drive. Both hard drives are IDE, and the BSD installation had called them 'wd0' and 'wd2'. I got to the boot: prompt, hit return and it loaded the kernel and detected my hardware. Then I got a Panic because changing root device to wd1a had failed. Well, of course, I don't have a wd1a. So I tried to use the boot prompt (which I still have been unable to find any documentation on) to boot from wd2a. I tried this, my best guess: wd(2,a)/kernel Unfortunately, all that caused is this error message to be repeated over and over again: Error: C:0 H:0 S:0 So, do you have any suggestions on how I can get this to boot my configuration?

I've configured NIS in my 2.1R FreeBSD. It'll be the NIS server for a small network of 5 Linux machines. I've made the maps, started the daemons on the server and on the clients and everythink is ok. The clients can get the maps correctly, but there is a big problem: the password encription algorithms for Linux and FreeBSB are completely different. Linux uses the standard crypt based on the DES while FreeBSD uses crypt based on the MD5. Because of that, Linux can't verify the passwords in the NIS passwd map and thus nobody can log in. Does anybody knows any solution/workaround for this problem ? (I don't want to install FreeBSD on the client machines because they have only 4Mbytes of memory and a small hardisk. In this conditions, Linux runs better. Also, I'd like to run FreeBSD on the server because it has a better NFS implementation and is more stable than Linux) Thanks in advance. -- Rodrigo de La Rocque Ormonde Confederacao Nacional do Transporte e-mail: ormonde@cnt.org.br From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 3 06:46:09 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA16016 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 06:46:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu (halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu [18.26.0.159]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id GAA16008 for ; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 06:46:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65/1.1.8.2/19Aug95-0530PM) id AA28071; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 09:44:45 -0400 Date: Mon, 3 Jun 1996 09:44:45 -0400 From: Garrett Wollman Message-Id: <9606031344.AA28071@halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu> To: "Christoph P.

I understand that options Yes, without commercial software (and I can't think of any off hand to do dialup) it's probably not possible to host a dialup service with 95/NT. FreeBSD is a free unix (like Linux) for the Intel X86 processor line. There are three major versions. The release (currently 2.1), current (2.2 in progress), and stable (2.1 plus bug fixes/tested enhancements). My biased view of what's better about FreeBSD is 1. Generally more stable then Linux. 2. The team working on FreeBSD seem to be very organized, having core members that work closely together. The linux people seem not to communicate as much. (I've been away from Linux for a long time so this may have changed. 3. It seems (to me) if you have a re-peatable problem it can usually be solved or fixed fairly quickly. 4. Linux is commercialized, but has no commercial support of the core kernel ;(. > need to get this together, what is FreeBSD? i know it is an OS, and i know > Intersurf runs it, but will it support a dual OS setup? anyway thanks for > the help. If you mean being able to have FreeBSD and NT/95 on the same machine this is definitely possible. If you do this you probably want both partitions within the first 1024 cylinders of the drive (some bioses need this to work properly others don't). Then you can make other partitons after that for /usr or a data drive for NT/95. \ John Booth, Senior Programmer \ \ CIS/Infinet Op \ \john@ulantris.infinop.com, john@compsci.com \ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 3 07:12:02 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA17134 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 07:12:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from solar.os.com (root@solar.os.com [199.232.136.65]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA17124 for ; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 07:11:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from jupiter (jupiter.os.com [199.232.136.66]) by solar.os.com (8.7/8.7.0) with SMTP id KAA19969 for ; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 10:19:59 -0400 Message-Id: <199606031419.KAA19969@solar.os.com> X-Sender: craigs@solar X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 03 Jun 1996 10:09:01 -0400 To: questions@freebsd.org From: craigs@os.com (Craig Shrimpton) Subject: Sup make world failures Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Folks, This weekend I had a make world fail on supped src-stable.

For three weeks I have tried every permutation of installing Free BSD on a 386 and 486 pc so that it installs on a SCSI drive purchased especially for the install. The problem is that I have an IDE drive as drive C and the SCSI as drive D. DOS sees everything fine and I have no hardware conflicts. What were the problems? 1) BSD's Fdisk cannot see the correct geometry for the SCSI drive. Even though I plug in the right numbers for the drive, BSD adds the size of the IDE drive to the SCSI drive and then destroys the partition table of both drives. Even when I dedicate the entire SCSI drive to FreeBSD, The install destroys the IDE partition and Boot sectors. 2) The installer destroys the partition table of the IDE drive even if the install is aborted. I assume that that last little syncing drives 1...2... is what does it before the install quits. 3) Even though the install seems to go without errors, the bootmgr uses virus technology (sic) to install itself in track 0 sector 1. This cannot be removed by using fdisk /mbr as it also seems that the track is write protected. Even diskedit cannot zero out the sector. This has cause several screaming fits around here as the only low level format I have is in the bios of my old 386 board so I then have to reinstall it to retrieve the drive. SOMEONE WHOULD WARN USERS OF THIS. THE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS AS FOLLOWS: low level format the drive install DOS from the original setup. The usual procedures (format & fdisk etc) do not work I suspect because they use BIOS routines while the original DOS install writes directly to the disk 4 Even if I put a small BSD partition on the IDE drive for root and swap, the BSD fdisk still screws up the SCSI partitions (thinks the drive is much larger than reality) and then destroys the IDE drive. 5 The FIPS program has a serious bug in it as it creates a second primary dos partition which confuses the hell out of DOS Short of dedicating a complete machine to BSD, is there any way to install BSD on a SCSI drive D when an IDE drive is already installed. How can one deinstall the stupid Bootmgr??? The last response to this question was some words about patching INT13 but had no real mechanism or software to do this. Sorry if this sounds like I am venting here but something is seriously wrong with the docs or I just don't understand this OS.

What purpose would it serve? Well for starters, you could use a route with metric > 1 to set a backup route, in case a lower-metric route (configured using RIP or OSPF) went away. In most networks, this wouldn't be real useful because all of the routes would be advertised using a routing protocol anyways. However I've used it in situations where for administrative reasons I didn't have advertised routes through all of the links I was connected to. (If this was a bit vague on details, I'm trying to spare you the boring details of an experimental network setup we had here at Berkeley up until recently.) But for most situations (e.g. single-homed host, or multi-homed host running a routing protocol for all attached links) you're right, this doesn't serve a purpose. As a historical point, older BSD versions used to use the metric to distinguish between routes to directly-attached networks and routes through gateways. I always wondered why it couldn't figure this out from the list of interfaces in kernel. Cheers, Bruce.

FreeBSD network code is substanially better than linux ISP -> lots of users (processes) FreeBSD context switch time is flat. Linux has an exponentially rising curve. the lines met at ~20 processes. with X and only one user i have 52 processes running at the moment. this is based upon the paper presented at usenix '96 "http://plastique.stanford.edu/~laik/benchmarks/index.html" i have heard linux users complain about this paper being flawed. never have i heard what the flaws are. hmmm... jmb ps. yes, i am biased. -- Jonathan M.

Odd. I probably suggested this once before but did you try putting a small DOS partition on your SCSI disk, then deleting that partition from sysinstall and install FreeBSD over it? FreeBSD can't read the geometry information sometimes and putting the DOS partition on there gets it going in the right direction. > Even when I dedicate the entire SCSI drive to FreeBSD, The install > destroys the IDE partition and Boot sectors. It sounds like the disks are getting crossed. If they were on the same IDE controller I'd say you'd jumpered them both master. But that's not the case here. Did you try removing the IDE disk from the system? > 2) The installer destroys the partition table of the IDE drive even if > the install is aborted. I assume that that last little syncing drives > 1...2... is what does it before the install quits. Still sounds like your disks are crossed. Are the disks plugged into the correct cables & controller? Are the two controllers using separate resources? What controllers are you using?

Are you running Windows95? If so you need to boot to MSDOS mode to delete the MBR. Win95 write-protects it.

DOS does what it's supposed to and will map the primary disks first.

Yes. It should be just like installing to a second IDE, other than you have an option for "sd0" instead of "wd1" in the fdisk setup and disklabel. I would thouoghly(sp?) check your SCSI disk first. Put a DOS partition on it and give it a good workout. You have some sort of hardware problem between your disks.

Where would the primary HD > that is currently plugged in there go at that point? Yes, plug it into the primary (1st) IDE controller. Make it master/slave; make the hard disk master and the cd slave. Each IDE channel can support up to 2 drives. When you go from one disk to two, you need to change the jumper settings on the drive to reflect its new status. Check your hard disk guide for how to reset the jumpers.

I would say 200-300MB, depending. A 540MB second disk is great in these situations.

I bet you didn't make it. Try making a small root partition at the beginning of the disk, install Win95 behind it, and put the rest of the FreeBSD slice at the end.

You'll probably have to disable DOS's (or whoever's) memory manager in order to run the `fbsdboot.exe' program. This is not a problem. Just press Shift-F5 while DOS is booting (be quick with the keys, though). If you're using Win95, run `fbsdboot', and Win95 will tell you that `fbsdboot' must be run in DOS-mode.

Almost all of the files in my /stand directory have changed size to 802816 (the rest are at 456940) with a creation date of Nov 18 1995. Now knowing darn well that the system 2.1.0R was clean installed after that date :) and that I haven't done anything *that* weird (other than installing INN) does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong? It's a real problem when one blows a 30 meg / partition and can't get it back under 100% :-). This happened after making a tar+gzip backup of / to a jaz drive. Copying the files to other partitions, moving the files, and replacing the files with clean copies changes nothing; they stick at the same size. Other odd note that may apply here. Whenever I shut the system down (shutdown now) and then sync, upon reboot it complains that the clean flag was not set on either the / or /usr partition and fsck fixes it. If I don't do the sync, it has all kinds of kittens about things not being set right on the / partition although it appears to fix them and only has the clean flag fix problem on /usr. Interestingly enough the only thing retained in dmesg for either partition is WARNING: / was not properly dismounted Finally, I'm also running a jaz drive and it also has the same 'clean flag not set' problem.

It's not free (in fact it's a bit spendy) but you do get a system that's relatively easy to set up. In particular most the the account maintenance issues you'd face with your Unix boxes and most of the issues in configuring multi-port serial hardware (or terminal servers) are also handled by the BBS. This suggestion depends largely on your account management scenario. You could easily have one or two of the systems running TSX and the other(s) running FreeBSD. TSX-BBS can handle upto 255 concurrent serial connections (on standard PC hardware with intelligent serial subsystems). It support telnet, ftp, smtp netnews gateways as well as BBS things like Fido and QWK.

Should be done, unless you used the "-c" boot option to disable ttyd1/cuaa1. Take a look at the output of dmesg, make sure you have sio1 set up. Are you using the generic kernel, or did you configure and build your own? That error message "device not configured" doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it means the kernel hasn't been set up in software to handle it. Remember that sio1 is the driver, but it allows for the devices /dev/ttyd1 and /dev/cuaa1. You might also try deleting those devices and rebuilding them with the script /dev/MAKEDEV, which is handy in building devices. It's possible your major/minor device numbers (which identify to the kernel which drivers you mean) could be scragged. > > Thanx, > > Chris Odom > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 3 18:29:43 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id SAA02228 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 18:29:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mojo.calyx.com (mojo.calyx.net [204.137.148.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id SAA02223 for ; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 18:29:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from amir@localhost) by mojo.calyx.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id BAA21400; Tue, 4 Jun 1996 01:29:05 GMT Date: Tue, 4 Jun 1996 01:29:04 +0000 (GMT) From: Amir Rosenblatt To: Chris Odom cc: "'questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: Device not configured.

This sounds silly but double-check that you have 2 serial ports (sio0 and sio1) compiled into your kernel. I accidentally clipped one out of mine and this exact problem drove me nuts until I realized it. -Amir From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jun 3 18:45:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id SAA03466 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 18:45:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail1.infinet.com (mail1.infinet.com [206.103.240.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id SAA03461 for ; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 18:45:38 -0700 (PDT) From: jcrawfor@infinet.com Received: from jcrawfor.infinet.com (nwk-p008.infinet.com [206.103.246.8]) by mail1.infinet.com (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA14281 for ; Mon, 3 Jun 1996 21:40:19 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199606040140.VAA14281@mail1.infinet.com> Comments: Authenticated sender is To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Mon, 3 Jun 1996 21:39:44 +0000 Subject: CD-Rom Drive Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a Philips cm206 CD-Rom drive and a cm260 card.

Ghostscript only uses X if it has been set up with the X11 driver. The ghostscript that comes with the base FreeBSD doesn't require it (If you set up ghostscript with the X11 driver, and either set that driver up as default, or specify it with flags, it will show it's output on a X11 window. It's unfriendly, which is the reason why ghostview and gv exist). Ghostscript can be set up to do what you want, I think there's a ps2ascii script that does it, but beware! It doesn't know about carriage returns too well, so each sentence is one line long (and you get some real long lines because of that...)

I would really like to read the socks manual! Converting PostScript to ASCII is three factors of magnitude (tm) harder than the halting problem! And it's NP-complete, too! :-) Seriously, in general it can't be done. After all, if you've got PostScript code that draws out each letter through a thousand or so moveto/lineto/arcto sequences, on paper it may look fine, but there's little hope of extracting just the text out of that. Knowing what produced the PostScript code can be a big help, though. Some programs exist that recognize the PostScript produced by various document packages and wade its way through the font changes and kerns, revealing plain old text. And yes, Ghostscript is your friend. :-) Seriously, your best bet is to install Ghostscript. Right, I hear you ... you don't wanna install X windows ... after all, Marcus J Ranum of DEC said: If the designers of X Windows built cars, there would be no fewer than five steering whells hidden about the cockpit, none of which followed the same principles---but you'd be able to shift gears with your car stereo. Useful feature, that. So, you'll be happy to note that Ghostscript doesn't need X windows! Just avoid the copy that's in the ports collection (which I'm assuming is configured for X by default) and build and install it yourself. In fact, I've made sure that ``The Professor'' knows that it worked out-of-the-box on FreeBSD ... that was back in version 3.33, and I'm sure it's still true today in version 3.53. So, grab these files: ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost/aladdin/ghostscript-3.53.tar.gz ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost/aladdin/ghostscript-3.53jpeg.tar.gz And in the makefile, explictly leave OUT the X windows stuff! The README and make.doc files will certainly provide you with more hints. Once you've got it built and installed, you'll have a new script to play with: /usr/local/bin/ps2ascii, which uses gs to extract text out of PS files.

On the other hand, there exists a (supposedly) much improved ps2ascii converter out there, by the name of pstotext, which came out of DEC's Virtual Paper project. I can speak from experience that the previous ps to plain text utilities were spectacularly bad, and as the postscript FAQ explains, it's hard to get it right. It's at: http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/virtualpaper/pstotext.html Although I haven't tried pstotext out, I find the following quote from a message a positive sign: We've tested pstotext on millions of lines of PostScript, including files generated by several versions of drivers from each of Windows, Macintosh, and dvips (TeX). It deals successfully with a wide variety of encoding vectors, and it re-assembles words that have been broken up for pair-kerning (it doesn't re-assemble words that have been hyphenated, though). It also works (though a little less reliably) on Acrobat PDF files. You'll need Aladdin postscript 3.33 / 3.51 or later to run it, apparently. The reason I mention this here (besides trying to be helpful :) ) is that I stumbled across this in a search for a better ps2ascii converter (as I mentioned, the ones I had seen before were spectacularly poor at it). Since it's not mentioned in any of the PS faqs I know of, and not easily findable from search engines (even altavista, which is surprising since it's digital), I thought I'd mention it and let other people know about it, if only to find out it's still insufficient for the job. :) bryan > > Knowing what produced the PostScript code can be a big help, though. > Some programs exist that recognize the PostScript produced by various > document packages and wade its way through the font changes and kerns, > revealing plain old text. > > And yes, Ghostscript is your friend. :-) > > Seriously, your best bet is to install Ghostscript.

A couple of questions comes to mind: 1. I'm assuming that Xinside Motif (2.0) works with the XFree86 server, but has anybody tested it? 2. Would there be any gains in speed etc., using the X server from Xinside? My gut feeling is to stay with XFree and support free software, but .. :-) 3. Which version of XFree86 will be bundeled with FreeBSD 2.1.5 ? I hope for some feedback on this as we are going to install Motif on several ( ~10 ) Pentiums with FreeBSD.

Or, unplug the IDE drive before installing. 3) Even though the install seems to go without errors, the bootmgr uses virus technology (sic) to install itself in track 0 sector 1. SOMEONE WHOULD WARN USERS OF THIS. It is well-known, but not adequately advertised. It caused me lots of problems. I was using the NT loader on my IDE drive, and found that running the first phase of the Win95 install would restore the boot info to the IDE drive. I did that several times, until I became familiar with the procedure. THE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS AS FOLLOWS: low level format the drive install DOS from the original setup. The usual procedures (format & fdisk etc) do not work I suspect because they use BIOS routines while the original DOS install writes directly to the disk A Win95 CD is cheaper:-) Short of dedicating a complete machine to BSD, is there any way to install BSD on a SCSI drive D when an IDE drive is already installed. Again, I suggest unplugging the IDE drive until the system is stable. Sorry if this sounds like I am venting here but something is seriously wrong with the docs or I just don't understand this OS. Oh you are absolutely right, the 2.1 install docs should have big red letters around every page saying "you will probably destroy your other OSen unless you remove their disks and send them to bed until the dirty deed is done." Thing is, unless you *absolutely* need MS-Office or some such, you'll probably find the precautions wasted, since you will just end up wiping all other OSen from your system within a month or two. I get ill just thinking about booting WinNT. Never again.

I've got the ASUS PCI-V264CT one (same thing, I'd guess). Neither the distributed Mach64 X server, nor the distributed SVGA X server will work with it for me. At the moment, I'm using the VGA16 X server, which works fine but is rather slow and pokey (and, of course, VGA). If you have a look at http://www.xfree86.org and find the FAQ, you will see that you need a BETA X server for all 'CT' Mach 64s. I did just try that BETA X server, but it didn't work -- however, I didn't have time to look into it much farther, so I could well have done something wrongly. > > Eugene Minkevitch.

Sorry, I forgot to tell that the machine was running fine with a 3C509 ethernet card so I'm using the same routing configuration.

At a guess, you didn't set a nameserver address in your /etc/resolv.conf file. If it were me, I would put several nameservers in that file, because if you only put one, and that one stops for any reason, you're out of luck.

Your POP (Pegasus/Eudora) users are less of a problem since the sessions are typically quite short and most of the memory overhead is at the client workstation. If some of the clients will be using other Unix hosts they can use 'popclient' to fetch their mail from the gateway and append it to their local spool file (or to append it to a special mail folder). Your real concern is the users who are telnetting in, using a shell account to launch elm or pine, or running mh commands. In particular you have to worry about users that telnet in and take up one session all day long, every day. My guess is that you should figure on about a half meg per *active* concurrent shell user (giving you roughly enough for 60 users in 32Mb of RAM). You can have quite a bit of swap space because many of the sessions are likely to be inactive most of the time. With your 150Mb of swap you should be able to handle all 200 users logged in to elm. If more than about 30 of them were active (most e-mail users I've seen start a session and leave it backgrounded, minimized, whatever -- all day) then it will probably seem *slooooowwwwww*. Having more RAM won't hurt. Distributing the load over two system will hurt even less ;). This is especially true if the machines can be located on your LAN in such a way as to minimize traffic. Unless your site is using intelligent swithing hubs (assuming that you're on ethernet) you're probably segmented (probably along some departmental boundary). Putting one department's mail server on it's segment and another's on "their" segment will minimize the load on your routers. Of course you can also put multiple ethernet interfaces in your FreeBSD boxes and have them stradling the segments. Finally, by having two or more identically configured mailhosts you can easily implement a disaster plan. Plan ahead and keep the account tables (passwd files) synchronised (either by hand or using NIS+). Using the aliases files (which would mostly be complements of one another) you can ensure that the mail gets forwarded to the "right" box.

Most older BIOSes have a limit of 1024 cylinders, 16 heads and 63 sectors, which is enough to address 504 MB. It looks as if increasingly BIOSes are coming on the market which have raised these limits. This seems to be the case with your BIOS, which explains why you can boot at all. I'd guess it gives you 64 "heads".

I have severe reliability problems with HP DDS (so-called DAT) drives. I've been through 5 HP35480As, and so far one 1533A.

I I think your "path" variable is incorrect. Type 'set' and you should see something like this (assuming you're in the C shell):- ... path (/home/johnny/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin) ... Yours may look slightly different, but it should certainly have /bin and /usr/bin at the minimum. Root's path should also have /sbin and /usr/sbin. To change it, edit .cshrc in your home directory, logout and log back in again. > Also, in Linux I opened files with the vi editor. Does > FreeBSD have this? I get a "vi: not found" as well. Yep, vi has been part of BSD since about 1980 and anyone who tried to take it out of FreeBSD would be lynched. 8-) -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland | http://freefall.freebsd.org/~jraynard/ james@jraynard.demon.co.uk | jraynard@freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 4 10:49:01 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA00563 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 4 Jun 1996 10:49:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from diablo.ppp.de (diablo.ppp.de [193.141.101.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA00557 for ; Tue, 4 Jun 1996 10:48:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from allegro.lemis.de by diablo.ppp.de with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #1) id m0uR0Dp-000QZHC; Tue, 4 Jun 96 19:48 MET DST From: grog@lemis.de (Greg Lehey) Organisation: LEMIS, Schellnhausen 2, 36325 Feldatal, Germany Phone: +49-6637-919123 Fax: +49-6637-919122 Received: (grog@localhost) by allegro.lemis.de (8.6.9/8.6.9) id TAA13797; Tue, 4 Jun 1996 19:38:33 +0200 Message-Id: <199606041738.TAA13797@allegro.lemis.de> Subject: Re: FreeBSD question To: fqueries@jraynard.demon.co.uk (James Raynard) Date: Tue, 4 Jun 1996 19:38:33 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org (FreeBSD Questions) In-Reply-To: <199606021446.OAA11429@jraynard.demon.co.uk> from "James Raynard" at Jun 2, 96 02:46:55 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk James Raynard writes: >> I log in as root, I cannot run X-windows via the startx command.

Someone reported earlier that `shutdown now' results in unclean filesystems. Other than the obvious reboot, what is the difference between `shutdown' and `shutdown -r'?

The problem lies in the name of the command: ``shutdown'' means (to newbie sysadmins around here, at least) the same thing as reboot instead of ``go to single user mode.'' It's a training issue. An admin has to realize that dirty filesystems that are mounted when s/he turns of the machine will still be dirty---even in single user mode. Now, a plain shutdown (no -r) could sync, but there's still no guarantee that the admin won't dirty the filesystem through some maintenance operation in single user mode and cut the power without thinking. Maybe what you're looking for is an unmount of all mounted filesystems when entering single user mode, much like booting up into single user mode. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 4 13:07:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA09827 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 4 Jun 1996 13:07:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from rocky.sri.MT.net (rocky.sri.MT.net [204.182.243.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA09821 for ; Tue, 4 Jun 1996 13:07:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nate@localhost) by rocky.sri.MT.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id OAA19691; Tue, 4 Jun 1996 14:06:53 -0600 Date: Tue, 4 Jun 1996 14:06:53 -0600 From: Nate Williams Message-Id: <199606042006.OAA19691@rocky.sri.MT.net> To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: shutdown vs shutdown -r In-Reply-To: References: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Someone reported earlier that `shutdown now' results in unclean > filesystems. Shutdown now brings the system into single-user mode, which has been the case on all BSD systems as far back as I can remember. The system is still running (well, init and the single-user shell anyway), and all the FS are still mounted, so they are technically 'unclean'. If you want to shutdown the system you either need to 'reboot' or 'halt' it. ('shutdown -r or -h respectively).

The main difference is that "shutdown" without any options just shuts down to single user. You must then do one of three things: 1) type "halt", at which point the system will dismount all filesystems and halt. 2) type "reboot", at which point the system will dismount all filesystems and reboot. 3) type ctrl-D. at which point the single user shell will be terminated and the system will come up to multi-user again. >If it doesn't sync, shoudln't this be fixed? or at least have this >behavior relegated to a switch? Maybe have -r be the default action? "shutdown" without options is only used to go to single-user.

Even to a second disk. Doug, I was surprised to find that the function keys are mapped to all partitions, even inactive ones, which means that to boot from the second disk, you have to hit F5. At that point, it tells you the new default is F1 again, but gives the partition name from the 2nd disk, and you hit return.

That's not a stupid question at all. That answer....on the other hand.... As far as I know the transfer type is purely a client side configuration matter. In other words -- I doubt that you can (via ftp). (I wouldn't mind being proven wrong on this. However I'm sure that ftp.cdrom.com and the maintainers of simtel, cica, garbo, and other popular ftp sites would have done this long, long, long ago -- if they could).

I think when my new device toggled CTS (pin 5) kermit finally quit. It doesn't seem right that a process could block on ttywait and be immune to kill -9.

You may be interested in the 'popclient' program, which will pull your POP mail off of your ISP and put it into a mail folder of your choice. Note that you don't want popclient to put it in your inbox or it won't make it. Or you could use Pine and IMAP if your ISP supports it. See Pine Help for more info on that.

What? That doesn't work? You mean a simple "popclient hiwaay.net" won't move my mail from hiwaay.net to my FreeBSD box's mail system? I admit it doesn't work under Irix 5.2, but has worked just dandy every time I tried it under FreeBSD. I can even pop3 it from FreeBSD to this Mac with Eudora.

Sorry I don't have a better description of the abort messages; they go to the console but never get logged anywhere because the SCSI controller is hung! Two questions. 1) How can I read this tape? I haven't had problems reading 4mm tar tapes written on a few other platforms. 2) Can something be done to prevent the SCSI controller from hanging in this case?? Thanks...

Something similar happens to me, too. I've got the following hanging off an Adaptec 1542c: (aha0:3:0): "ARCHIVE Python 25947-XXX 2.49" type 1 removable SCSI 2 The drive is DDS only; no DDS-2. I get timeout messages, and a bit later, the kernel panics. If I reset the drive and 'c'ontinue from the console debugger, I can sometimes recover. I also have another Archive Python (both are Compaq OEM) with a slightly higher model number which does read Sun tapes. They are both old; at least 2 years, and have been used daily. I think the Archive hangs when it reads a compressed tape that it can't handle, since I can create tapes on the new drive that hang the old one. I'm not sure if my problem is the same as yours; just adding another datapoint. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jun 4 22:24:14 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA02849 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 4 Jun 1996 22:24:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.164]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA02821 for ; Tue, 4 Jun 1996 22:24:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id WAA09970; Tue, 4 Jun 1996 22:24:18 -0700 Date: Tue, 4 Jun 1996 22:24:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Iwan Leonardus cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: stable In-Reply-To: <31B4F301.41C67EA6@rad.net.id> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 5 Jun 1996, Iwan Leonardus wrote: > I 've been heard about this -stable version, I think the -stable code is more > suitable for all 'Live' system, while the other can be accepted as other system, > especially development, and personal system.

I believe FreeBSD is better as the support network is unparalleled. Through the various mailing lists we have access to the developers of the OS, not just a bank of customer service reps. Other than that, BSDi and FreeBSD are from the same code base (4.4BSD) so applications are very portable. Most don't even need recompiling. I also like the project itself -- how many large software systems do you know that are developed and supported over the Internet? Hope this helps. Not well written but a start.

Well, the 2.2 version was broke, except if you had the sendmail comandline set just right. I know it ate my mail on a couple of occaisions. The 3.0 series is OK; it uses a different method.

Examine your PATH. (echo $PATH). I guess you are logged in as superuser (root). The path to the current directory is intentionally left out of the root user's path (for security reasons). If you add a user to the system e.g. via the 'adduser' command (introduced in 2.1.0-RELEASE) the profile files (.cshrc/.login resp. .profile) are copied into the user's home directory and contain the correct path statements. > > Thank You ~:') > > -- > jf > > --Chris Christoph P.

Sure, you can get top-grade technical support from both the FreeBSD team and FreeBSD enthusiasts in freebsd-questions, but they aren't obligated by any commercial contracts for technical support. If you need specific on-demand live technical support, BSD/OS is for you. On the other hand, if you're a do-it-yourself competent guru, then you'll probably not need to burden yourself (or employer) with the value-added expense of commercial support; hopefully they'll give you the difference in price as a salary bonus for you. :) As to the stability of FreeBSD, ftp.cdrom.com should be a testament to FreeBSD stability.

One of them would be connected to a hub with a RJ45 cable. Since the rest of the LAN (win 3.11) will be connected with SMC (though I don't know really which type to choose), I think another SMC would be OK. (am I right - and are the drivers stable for all the types?) The problem is the second card. Since this server will be serving as a router, it _must_ be connected to a transceiver - AUI/Fiber Optic. Is there any card with the AUI interface supported by FreeBSD (I think of no particular release - it's only supposed to be stable) and perhaps at a reasonable price ;-) And the last question: It would be probably better to use PCI cards, but not necessarily both cards should be PCI ones. And the question: which one works well? Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Actually, I think it's simpler than that. You are using 2.1 or -stable.

(am I right - and are the drivers stable for all the types?) SMC, as in SMC manufactured cards? They're generally OK. An SMC is supported under the de0, I think it's the EtherPower?

All you need is a card with the appropriate interface.

PCI cards would give you better performance, and in your case where it looks like you're running a agteway, that would be useful. They also auto-configure their IRQ and port address since they're PCI.

I need some advice I am currently running 2.0.5 installed vie floppies from the Walnut Creek CD. Hardware is a 486DX2-66, 500MB Maxtor IDE, 16MB RAM, Intel EtherExpress and an internet connection. The initial installation was a "look-see" ... I liked what I saw. The original installation was via floppy images because I had no CD-ROM on the target machine. I've since been adding bits and pieces with the ports collection and now have the 2.1 CD. I have been unable to make a spare CD-ROM drive and controller work. The controller, a Future Domain 840 is recognized by the sea0 driver, but the drive (an NEC CDR-36) is not. The driver returns "arbitration timeout" when probing for devices. So unless somebody can help me fix that one, I still can't directly access the CD. I keep finding that the ports files are behind the available distfiles, and often the specified source isn't even available any more. I also would like to update the whole release to -stable or -current but at a loss to determine a rational way to do that without losing what work I've done. With only 500MB to work with (less... I need to reset as much as I can for users) I'm not sure it's feasable to maintain the whole source tree. I have no desire for any X-windows applications - the system is intended for use by ANSI-only users. As mentioned, I have a live internet connection. What is my best path for upgrading?

This system is to be used with both Windows NT and FreeBSD. So when the system arived it already had Windows NT installed and NT had configured the card for port 110 and interupt 11. I have since tried to reconfigure the card for a number of different port addresses and interupt lines, but nothing seems to work. Here is a list of its current configuration as obtained from Windows NT. Note that the 3Com card has gone thru various addresses. NT tells me I only have interrupts 10 and 11 available.

If you are on your console, the easiest DISPLAY is :0 Or you can set it to machine:0 where machine is your machine name (name of ethernet port) or localhost (127.0.0.1). For sh/ksh/bash: export DISPLAY DISPLAY=:0 for csh/tcsh: setenv DISPLAY :0 But, Doug is right, it should be set when you do a startx or from xdm. -- Paul T.

Which version of FreeBSD, and which version of the 3Com card? The 3Com card has 3 different versions, the 3C589, 589B, and 589C. FreeBSD 2.1R supports the 589 & 589B, but not the 589C (it wasn't released). The 589C card required a trivial patch which is in -stable and -current, but obviously isn't in 2.1R. Also, are you using the if_zp driver, or the PC-CARD stuff?

Especially for root! If *you* _really_ want to trust whatever executable just happens to be laying around your current working directory you can at . (specifically :.) to the end of your path. Keep in mind that anyone on your system might leave a file named something like "cd~" or "ls-a" or "dir" or anything else that you *might* type (as a typo) and let you trip over it sometime when you are visiting their directory (or /tmp, or any writable directory).

What on > > earth made you decide to write that? My previous experience with IP aliasing (very limited) was on a Linux box and on a Solaris 2.4. Both of these also provide the list of aliased interfaces as part of the 'ifconfig -a' output. Someone else on the list provide me with the right answer: netstat -i (list interfaces) Next question: Is there a way to collect separate statistics on each aliased address? I'd like to monitor the activity on the old address so I can drop that interface later. The whole reason we're doing the aliasing is to phase out some addresses that are routed through our old T1's and phase them in on the router that's fed by our new DS3. They are from different ISP's and we can't carry the adddresses with us (CIDR aggregation limitations). We aren't running BGP4 and have no intention of doing so (we don't care about dynamic load balancing between our 'homes'). I'll also be experimenting on some "fail over" scripts that allow hosts in my "round robin rings" rings to dynamically pick up for one another if one fails temporarily.

If you used a Windoze client or LAN Workplace for DOS, or "Wild Joe Cool's new FTP" you might not get similar results. As I said -- it's controlled by the client (as far as I know). You're welcome to find an RFC to prove me wrong. The only practical effect of that would be to show that a bunch of ftp clients aren't compliant with that. I run a high volume ftp site (~300 - 500 concurrent ftp sessions all day, every day). I exchange mail with some admins at other high volume sites, and I read alot of netnews (particularly in the comp.os, comp.unix, and related hierarchies). One of the most common problems has always been and continues to be "this file was corrupted" (forgot to force 'bin' mode). The original question amounted to: Is there any way to force bin mode for all ftp clients? The gist of my response was: If you find one -- let us all know!

I've finally gotten back to that project and done some quick tests. Verdict: There is no need for me to rebuild BIND to support "round robin DNS" (I was disappointed that no one responded on the list -- and that I couldn't find any info on this in the man pages, on line list archives or online manuals. O'Reilly's "cricket" book doesn't cover "round robin" at all -- as far as I know) I have to assume from the lack of response that my original message was too confusing (likely) or that no one on the list understood the problem (less likely) or that no one on the list knows what I mean by "round robin DNS" (no way!). Basically round robin DNS allows one to do a crude load balancing across multiple mirrored servers. Basically you configure the authoritative DNS servers for a zone with multiple A records like so: ftp IN A 192.168.100.10 ftp IN A 192.168.100.11 ftp IN A 172.24.100.100 (I'm just using arbitrary addresses from RFC 1918 for these examples). Now the first DNS request to resolve ftp.foobar.org returns the ...10 address, the next one returns the ...11 address and the next one returns the last address. Then the cycle continues. This tends to balance the across the machines. In practice this is fine for something like ftp (which can represent a very high load on the server before you run out of bandwidth or CPU) but would probably be disasterous for something like a mail listener (MX records do this more cleanly anyway) or any situation where users will be updating information on the server -- and there are no shared filesystems between them. In other words this works for a group of hosts running a *limited* set of public services. You can also create a series of unique names for each host in the group (which I call a "round robin ring" or just a ring for short). I do this with A records like so: ftphost1 IN A 192.168.100.10 ftphost2 IN A 192.168.100.11 ftphost3 IN A 172.24.100.100 (which probably is bad form and may violate some RFC -- but works for me here). I then use rdist (soon to be done *over* ssh) to do updates to the servers (using their unique names). And a mirror script to pull files from the ~ftp/incoming directories to a group of central, internal repositories. I'll be experimenting with some scripts to do "fail over." This would set up each machine in the group to "watch" (poll?) the other servers (or set up an extra machine to watch all the members of the ring), and add an alias to any host in the ring that fails. (Later, when the host comes back up -- it binds an address unique to it, and communicates with the host that took over for it -- to do an automated hand off back). I obviously haven't worked out the details of this "fail over" stuff yet -- but we machines have been pretty stable recent -- so, hopefully, it won't be a priority. If anyone has comments, criticisms, or suggestions regarding any of this, please feel free to drop me a line. I'm really just making this stuff up as I go along. I'd especially be interested in any RFC's, white papers, or references to simple, non-proprietary load balancing and fail over tools and techniques (for ftp, www, mail, and related services).

I'm running FreeBSD 2.1-stable on a 486 DX4/120 with 32mb RAM and running XFRee1186 3.1.2. I have successfully had Netscape Navigator Atlas (i.e. version 3) beta 4 working for quite a while now. I then decided to install Netscape Atlas beta 4 gold and did so by simply replacing the file in the distfiles directory and renaming the md5 checksum file. It installed fine, and the netscape component seems to be working fine as well. The problem comes in when I try to use the Gold part i.e. the html editor. As soon as I click on options, editor preferences, netscape core dumps and becomes a zombie process. Is anyone experiencing this problem ?

I have more details today to help understand the situation better. Basically, I created cd's on my Mac that some operating systems can't read properly. No errors occurred during the write, but the large number of files on each cd may be a factor in the file system handling of these cd's. Any help would be appreciated. The details: This cd was written on a MAC Quadra 700, driving a Pinnacle Microsystems RCD-5040. The software was Pinnacle's own CD Burner 2.1. Our old cd-writer, a Phillips CDD 521 driven by Microtest's QuickTOPix software is dead at the moment. It has hardware problems we're trying to diagnose (the main thought being it's 6 years old). We specifically adhere to ISO 9660 standards to allow the greatest number of users to access our cd's. We hold all filenames to 8.3. There is no option in the software to turn on/off RR. We created other cd's with this software, and they have none of these problems. The only significant difference between the these and the other data sets is the fact that there are 1300+ files on the other cd and 23000+ and 32000+ files on these 2 cd's respectively. Neither has more than 3 levels of subdirectories. We read and checked the cd's on several platforms here in our group. These are the results: DOS: The 'hidden' files do not show up in a general directory listing, but can be accessed if you specifically go to them. They can also be accessed with a specific "open file" from the html accompanying the cd. NeXT: The NeXT native cd-rom reading software can see all the files normally. If you use the NeXT unix-type os it acts like the PC above. ALPHA/OSF/1 V3.2: The 'hidden' files don't show up in a general directory listing, cannot be accessed with the html, and a specific 'cd' to the directory is not allowed. The files _are not there_. Sun Sparc IPX/Solaris: There are no hidden files and the files can be accessed either directly or with the html. MAC/MACOS V7.5.3: The folders containing the hidden files are not accessable either directly or with the html. I also tried FTP'ing onto the mac from elsewhere and didn't see the files. SGI: Seems to have random difficulties reading the cd's. Netscape allows access to the files, but with an odd quirk: the html lists the file links as capital letter files, but the SG filesystem lists the files as lower case, thus you get "file not found" errors, but if you do something like "open file" and use lower case you get the files to show up ok. The other thing is that if you aren't in the /cdrom directory and you do "ls /cdrom/CMA1/*" is says "not enough swap space" and hangs the machine for several minutes. --- If one does a unix 'cmp' with an original harddisk copy of the cd versus the cd itself, one gets an error message like: cmp: cannot open /cdrom/TGS/2421/RB2421_L.Z for each of the 'hidden' files. --- I read the manual that came with CD Burner 2.1 and it has several key notes I think may affect our cd burning, but the problem is that burning the cd's as I did produced NO ERRORS. Here is a sample from the Docs: If you want to create discs at double speed, you should follow these guidelines: 1) Use a computer with a 68040 or a PowerPC processor. [I have a 68040 in my Quadra 700] 2) Use a fast hard drive. [not sure what this means, but I have a dedicated 3GB ADS external harddisk partitioned into two 1.5GB partitions] 3) Defragment your source drive. [I did this with Silverlining 5.6.3] 4) Avoid file-by-file transfers containing a lot of very small files. [I couldn't 'avoid' this because I tried multiple times to use their 'create file image' but it didn't seem to want to work. However, like I said, I ran their 'predict' option and got no errors, then ran their file-by-file options and also got no errors. I also used this option with our 1300+ file cd I burned earlier] 5) Choose to predict the operation the first few times that you attempt it, to make sure that your system is fast enough. [did this, got no errors] If you run into a problem with a buffer underrun, try the following: 1) Set the software for single speed recording mode. [since I never got any write errors, I never tried this. I may do this as a test] 2) Use FILE IMAGE or DISK IMAGE recording mode to transfer your data. [provided it works, it seemed to hang my machine or else I just wasn't doing it properly. Mea culpa, but the docs don't specifically tell you how to do this, and frankly, I get a little complacent when something works with no errors yet seemingly doesn't write the files properly] I finally got through to their 'help line' and discovered it wasn't very helpful. The TS person thought that it was something physically wrong with the blank disks, or that there is an imcompatability with 4x compatable blanks and only 2x compatable writers. Well, I've been using these 4x compatable blanks with a *1x* writer for 2 years now and never experienced these errors before. The bottom line seems to be this: The writer DID write all the files to the CD, but some systems either completely can't see them, or just don't display them, but allow you to access them if you specifically go into the 'hidden directory'. The writer experienced no errors during the burn, though I did do a few 'no-nos' according to their docs (like not creating a 'file image, and not running at single speed to write, which I thought was the PURPOSE of getting a double speed writer...). The files it drops off are always the last few in a subdirectory, and the number is proportional to the number of subdirectories within the directories, but it doesn't span the 2 disks. The 23000 file cd 'lost' one sub-dir in a 183 sub-dir directory, and 'lost' 6 dirs from a 375 sub-dir directory, but the 32000+ cd 'lost' only 5 sub-dirs from a 382 sub-dir directory, and also lost 5 from a 393 sub-dir directory. So, it's _approximate_ that you lose an linear number of sub-dirs depending on their total number within the topmost dir. The numbers of files 'lost' doesn't seem to me relavant because there are always many more files in the 32000 file cd within each subdirectory.

Walnut Creek tech support has suggested I dedicate the entire hard drive to FreeBSD, but I was wondering if anyone could come up with an alternative solution before I take this drastic step. I am using a 486/66 PC, 16MB RAM, 1.2GB IDE hard disk. I had previously installed Windows 95 in a 500MB partition, leaving the rest free for other OSes - but when I read the installation book I learned that the FreeBSD root filesystem must be within the first 504MB... how annoying! So, what I did was to boot FreeBSD from floppy and run the 'fixit' disk, create an identically-sized 500MB partition at the end of the disk with fdisk, use 'dd' to copy all the Win95 data from the beginning to the end of the disk, then delete the initial partition. This is fine: Windows 95 still boots happily. ---------------------------------------------------------- | Old Win95 | | ---------------------------------------------------------- v v ---------------------------------------------------------- | | New Win95 | ---------------------------------------------------------- Now I had 700MB free at the start of the disk, so I installed FreeBSD, giving it 300MB of space (leaving me 400MB to play with later, e.g. for Linux). The installation went fine. ---------------------------------------------------------- | FreeBSD | | New Win95 | ---------------------------------------------------------- However, when I restart, press F1 for the boot manager to select the BSD partition, and hit Enter at the boot: prompt, the system just hangs. Here is what I get: >> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: 637/15616 k of memory Use hd(1,a)/kernel to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed Usage: [[wd(0,a)]/kernel][-abcCdhrsv] Use ? for file list or press Enter for defaults Boot: {here I hit Enter} | That's it - "|" and no more. If I hit '?' then Enter at the Boot: prompt, the same happens. If I hit F4 at the boot manager prompt, Windows 95 boots up fine. Here is the partition table, as shown by booting FreeBSD from floppy and using the fixit disk, and running 'fdisk': # fdisk ******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=621 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=621 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 612801 (299 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 151/ sector 63/ head 63 The data for partition 1 is: The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32 MB)) start 1479807, size 1024065 (500 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 367/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 620/ sector 63/ head 63 # The disk drive is a Western Digital WDAC31200, for which the BIOS setup is normally 2484 cylinders/16 heads/63 sectors per track. fdisk reports 621/64/63 instead, which I suspect is an EIDE artifact. Besides, Win95 boots happily, so I presume the partition table is OK. The FreeBSD slice is partitioned into 20MB root, 32MB swap, 40MB /var, and the the remaining 207MB /usr. If you can shed any light it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance, Brian.

Then browse around and give ed0 the correct I/O address and other particulars. This will only last thru the installation.

There are known problems with this controller, but I don't think an easy fix is possible as it involves disabling the cards BIOS.

My Configuration is this - I have a FreeBSD machine which uses PPP modem dialup to a xylogics annex terminal server which connects me to the internet. My FreeBSD machine is on an ethernet LAN with Windows 95 client machines. My FreeBSD machine is configured like this - I use ppp to dialup to the terminal server, log in, and then I configure the tun0 interface and default route as follows. ifconfig tun0 203.17.165.101 203.17.165.101 netmask 255.255.255.128 route add default 203.17.165.101 where 203.17.165.101 is the IP address assigned to me by the terminal server. I then configure my ethernet interface in the following way - ifconfig ed0 203.17.165.129 netmask 255.255.255.128 where 203.17.165.129 is the IP address I gave to the network card on the FreeBSD machine. As you can see I am subnetting the Class C address's that are assigned to us. I am doing this since I am trying to route between two differnet physical networks ( my ethernet and dialup line ) and as far as I know in order to do this they must be on different subnets. Am I right here???? At this stage, I can connect to the internet OK from my FreeBSD machine and I can connect to my FreeBSD machine from my Windows 95 clients, but I can't connect to the internet from the Windows 95 clients. The FreeBSD machine doesnt seem to be routing between my LAN and the internet ( I have the GATEWAY option enabled in the /etc/sysconfig file ). What I did next was see if I could ping our terminal server from my win95 client machines. I couldnt. I then connected into our terminal server and added a route to one of the win95 client machines to see what happened. ( route add 203.17.165.130 255.255.255.255 203.17.165.101 on the annex, where 203.17.165.130 is the IP number I assigned to the win95 client ). I could then ping the terminal server from the client machine and vice versa but I still could'nt go past the terminal server. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem.

Well, you need enough to get the whole source tree and rebuild. That is a requirement.

FreeBSD arp Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk HI !!! Recently we encountered a routing problem implementing a subnet connected via SLIP. One of the difficulties was we can't change the routing table of our router (W) connecting us to the INTERNET. One of our host (T) acted as a gateway. The expected dilemma here was the subnet's workstations could never access the INTERNET. From the subnet's workstations, they can send packets but they never come back because there is no route in our router (W) towards the subnet's workstations. After quite sometime we figured that routing in the IP level would not be feasible since we can't change the routing table of our router (W). Instead, we used arp available in our host (T) gateway, running Linux, to the subnet. We added an entry, arp -s netmask 255.255.255.240 pub That solved our problem. This is Linux arp. I tried out FreeBSD's arp and discovered that there is no 'netmask x.x.x.x' argument. I was wondering if our host (T) gateway was running FreeBSD instead of Linux. How would FreeBSD have solved our routing problem? -- jf From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jun 6 02:21:12 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id CAA12988 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Jun 1996 02:21:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: from typhoon.dial.pipex.net (typhoon.dial.pipex.net [158.43.128.46]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id CAA12983; Thu, 6 Jun 1996 02:20:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from aan01.dial.pipex.com by typhoon.dial.pipex.net (8.7.4/) id KAA01711; Thu, 6 Jun 1996 10:20:23 +0100 (BST) Message-Id: <199606060920.KAA01711@typhoon.dial.pipex.net> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Brian Candler" To: "Gary Palmer" , "Nate Williams" Date: Thu, 6 Jun 1996 10:02:55 +0000 Subject: Re: FreeBSD boot problem CC: questions@freebsd.org Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.30) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk [From: "Gary Palmer" ] > Wild guess; You have a Promise 2300 EIDE controller?

It first warns that "Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1". I then get it to recalculate the geometries for both partitions, but it stores the wrong values for the Win95 partition, even when I enter the right ones manually: beg: cyl 444 (should be 1468) end: cyl 435 (should be 2483) It appears that the values are being truncated to 10 bits. Once I made this change, Win95 no longer booted. So I changed it back, on the grounds that one working OS is better than none :-) Thanks both for your help! Brian.

If I use an Adaptec ISA card (not sure what type, it's quite old though) then it works a treat, if I plug in the PCI card then I get varying degrees of success (or failure). Most of the time, during an install it will hang in the newfs stage. The same hardware combination & memory in an ASUS P120 board works fine. Anyone have any other problems with ASUS 486 mainboards? Are they just crap or what? I've tried 2 486 mainboards, both with similar retults, but pluging in an ISA SCSI card or using the P120 board is fine.

I'm using Apache 1.0.5 (straight from ftp.apache.org) with MD5 encryption and it works fine. You should not need DES at all. What does your htpwd file look like? You should have entries like: foobar:$1$Dh$nlJJz4Oh7YyDBgBL1n8Z80 I'd also check your HTTP log files (particularly the error log), it may not be looking in the right place for the password file (possible configuration error in access.conf).

Just feed it the > right DTD and everything works perfectly. Yes, for those care about html, emacs + psgml is definately the way to go. Rumor has it that XEmacs 19.14 will ship with psgml as standard equipment. Being a true SGML editor, you can easily leverage SGML features that are missing from HTML, in particular the use of entities to save typing and for managing boilerplate text, like headers and footers. I write stuff taking full advantage of SGML, then pass it through sgmlnorm (part of James Clark's sp packages, look for it in the ports collection soon) to expand the entity references and normalize shorttags (eg: Whatever made you think Netscape cared about obeying standards? Nothing in particular. I'm not so sure how much longer they will be around though.

I am using FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP. Recently experimented on ip firewaling and accounting. I tried to add the rule below, ipfw 9 add count all from 165.220.57.241:255.255.255.240 to any 80 out My intention was to monitor http accesses from subnet 165.220.57.240. Based from what I read in the ipfw man pages, this rule would match all packets from subnet 165.220.57.240, or hosts and workstations in this subnet. Out of curiosity, I verified this and tried to add the following rules, ipfw 8 add count all from 165.220.57.241 to any 80 out ipfw 7 add count all from 165.220.57.242 to any 80 out I reset the IP accounting with 'ipfw zero'. And, I issued a series of 'ipfw -a list'. I noticed that the number of packets that matched rule 9 is also the same number of packets that matched rule 8. And the number of packets that matched rule 7 is different with the number of packets that matched rule8. This means that rule 9 just matches packets from a specific IP being 165.220.57.241 and *not* IPs 165.220.57.241 to 254. Is there a bug in ipfw or is it just with the rules I tried ?

If your only reason for upgrading is to get the latest and greatest ports, all you have to do is pull down the ports-current tree (ie just the "skeletons" for the ports). All of them, apart from one or two very kernel-dependent things like top, should work on -release. The only thing to watch for is that the shared library version numbers have been bumped in -current, so you may see messages from programs saying they can't find libc.so.3.0. Just do (as root) # cd /usr/lib # ln -s libc.so.2.2 libc.so.3.0 to fix this. If on the other hand you really do want to upgrade the whole OS, I'd recommend getting hold of the latest SNAP. 1.

I'm certain quota's were broken in 2.0R, and 2.0R also doesn't have the sysconfig file (it appeared between 2.0 and 2.0.5). There are countless other bug/misfeatures in 2.0 which have been stamped on since then (since 2.0 came out over a year and a half ago...)

You are using a Promise EIDE2300 controller? Either replace the controller or disable the cards on-board BIOS. The on-board BIOS does something funny which our boot loader can't handle, which results in the freeze. Sorry I can't offer any other solutions, but no-one who knows about BIOS hacking has either seen this problem or has the timeto go digging :-( I've seen this happen myself, so I know that it's something specific to the 2300... (it went away when the card was replaced with a generic ``dumb'' (E)IDE card). Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.

Does FreeBSD support this. I have a Pentium 100 motherboard with a built in Enhanced IDE controller which I also believe is PCI. I'm at work at present and don't have the docs with me. I also have a 1.6G IDE hard Drive that I was going to dedicate to this system. When I load the boot floppy, neither the hard drive nor controller are recognized. Am I stuck with going out and buying a bunch of SCSI hardware or are there options available booting with the "-c" option to account for the EIDE controller? A prompt reply would be greatly appreciated. If I'm stuck buying the hardware then I'd like to do it tonight if possible. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

You can rely on *sucky* clients doing this. The *good* clients will do this for you, even DOS-to-DOS or VMS-to-VMS because they note that the system type is the same, and the default transfer mode is supposed to be such that a text file will be, by default, locally usable. The translation is done at the server because there isn't a file attribute "source system type" that is set on transfers -- so only the server can convert the file into an architecture-neutral wire format. A DOS client *could* decide, based on the extention, wheter the file should be transferred as text or binary, and switch on a file by file basis: after all, this is how Windows devices on icons and invocation methods in the absence of .inf files for the icon being clicked-on/dragged/etc.. Netscape is one example of a "smart client" for DOS boxes. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

I have also used the startslip, and it does the same thing. I have tried a diffrent video card, and tried removing the network card. Have also tried the other serial port. None of these seem to have worked. Any other ideas ? On a side note, I would try PPP and see if that works, but cant get it to work, just times out waiting for lcp info.. Even thought I know the portmaster is sending it. Thanks!!

What's gone wrong here? The message in the box comes from tset(1), which asks the terminal "what type are you?" and it responds "cons25". If you want a vt220, then type 'vt220' to the prompt. Are you logging in as root? Root is the only one that asks me this question. Don't run as root; make yourself an account and use 'su' to get superuser access. For the backspace problem, enter stty erase That should beat it into shape. Using cons25 will ensure the keyboard is mapped properly for the delete key. On my box the delete and backspace keys do the same thing. For ref: ^? = delete = keystroke Ctrl-Backspace ^H = backspace = keystroke Backspace > I installed the X-user distribution, but when when I type startx at the > prompt I get the following: > > startx: Command not found. > > And when I type xf86config, I get > > xf86config: Command not found. > > I've checked and these programs are on my system.

Now that you mention it... this is a small thorn in my side I use Linux as the OS on my desktop (Caldera specifically) and mistery is another Linux box (used just for e-mail and "playing"). All of my FreeBSD boxes (ftp servers and, now, my main mail gateway and primary DNS server) are back in a server room. For now I'm telnetting or rlogin' into them. Soon I'll be ssh'ing into them. What's the easiest, least painful, way to get these FreeBSD boxes to recognize my Linux console (termcap and terminfo) with full support for my function keys, full ncurses color support and the whole nine-yards? I tried cutting the linux termcap entry and pasting it into the FreeBSD /etc/termcap. I've resorted to just typing: setenv TERM cons25; reset; stty erase ^? every time. > Are you logging in as root? Root is the only one that asks me this > question. Don't run as root; make yourself an account and use 'su' to > get superuser access. Here's another pet peeve: Why does the system complain when I use 'su -' (to make sure that my PATH and other settings are established -- since they are a bit different from my user account settings)? > For the backspace problem, enter > > stty erase > That should beat it into shape.

Why would you want to get the function keys? You have programs that use those in text mode? I don't know of any UNIX programs that use them. (Probably Emacs) Cons25 supports ANSI color; it should maintain it over a telnet connection. I assume you want this to run colorls. I'm not really sure though. I use an xterm for the most part. I just tried telnetting to my other FreeBSD box, telnetted back to my box and ran colorls -G and got color. > I tried cutting the linux termcap entry and pasting it into > the FreeBSD /etc/termcap. I've resorted to just typing: > setenv TERM cons25; reset; stty erase ^? every time. Put it in .login or .cshrc/.profile. The reset will probe the terminal anyway, so why have the setenv TERM..?

I don't know what you mean. su - looks like it's equivalent to su -l. Unless you want to do full root logins all the time, try su -m; the login then inherits your environment, including the terminal. > Luckily I don't run X on these systems -- they're just servers! Hey, if you ran X on your Linux box and xdm on all the servers, you could authorize your session on all of them and have windows from each one open at once. Your machine too loaded? Run xdoom from a quiet server instead! :-) If your servers were workstations, I'd feel sorry for the poor sucker at the console.

I examined faxaddmodem a bit and found that the response I got from my modem (0,2) was OK, the script also found it was a class 2 modem, then it continued checking other modem features which all seemed to be OK but still I had these nagging backgrounded message. Might there be still a shell (sh) problem? I havn't yet examined it deeper what exactly happens in this script but I'd be curious if anyone else running current and hylafax is seeing this problem. > > > Now I thought the idea is to add a line > > ttyd1 "/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty" dialup on > > in my /etc/ttys and so I did. > > > > What's weird now is that I can't use /dev/cuaa1 for dialout anymore. > > Kermit: Device busy. cu: /dev/cuaa1: Line in use > > > > Solution ? > > I think hylafax resets the permissions on that device to r/w root only. > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > > --Chris Christoph P.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was wondering if there were any FAQs and ascii textfiles that cover using Japanese characters in FreeBSD that are written in English? I'm mostly looking for information regarding how to input and print Japanese characters (hiragana, katakana, and kanji) on a FreeBSD system. Unfortunately, it seems that all the information that explicitly explains the process on UNIX machines (I've not come across any that actually focuses on FreeBSD machines yet) are all written in Japanese. My command of the Japanese language is very elementary and am looking for stuff written in English; it's a plus, if it's actually written for FreeBSD installation! :) TIA!

It is a homebuilt conglomeration of a 486dx-33 isa m/b with 4 megs, a tseng labs et4000 video card and a 120meg hd with about 35 megs of data on a dos partition. the boot.flp runs what appears to be a successful probe of the system (although I think it gets the HD geometry wrong) the crashes after the line Rootfs is 100 KByte compiled in MFS by saying Fatal trap 12 = page fault while in Kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x0 fault code = Supervisor read, page not present Instruction pointer =0x8:0xf01820 code segment =base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 Processor EFlags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0 current process = 1 (swapper) interrupt Mask =net tty bio Pamc : page fault syncing disks... done I have tried changing virtually all of the bios settings that could possibly apply (I can send a list) and eliminated all of the installable probes in the boot -c option.

There's a new version of the ISDN code (should be committed to -current fairly soon) which only supports the Teles S0/16, Creatix S0 and Teles S0/16.3 cards. Teles/Creatix are also German manufacturers. The latter 3 are all passive, "dumb" cards. AFAIK, none of these cards has ever been used outside of Europe. In fact, I don't know if they're even available outside of Europe. Jordan has been trying for months without success to get a card from Teles in the US. A possibility would be to get an active card which looks like an internal modem but shouldn't have the speed restrictions of an external device. These are generally much more expensive than a passive card. --- Gary Jennejohn Home - Gary.Jennejohn@munich.netsurf.de Work - gjennejohn@frt.dec.com From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 7 03:53:20 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id DAA06061 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 03:53:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from adam.framatome.fr (root@adam.framatome.fr [192.44.46.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA06046; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 03:53:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from ubc@localhost) by adam.framatome.fr (8.6.11/1.3) id MAA09018; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 12:51:48 +0200 Date: Fri, 7 Jun 1996 12:51:47 +0200 (MET DST) From: Claude Buisson To: Guy Helmer cc: questions@freebsd.org, pst@freebsd.org, dhcp-dist@wide.ad.jp Subject: Re: WIDE dhcp server In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Thu, 6 Jun 1996, Guy Helmer wrote: > On Thu, 6 Jun 1996, Claude Buisson wrote: > > > Hi, > > I am trying to use the WIDE dhcp server (dhcp1.3beta with the "port" files > > downloaded from ftp.freebsd.org), under FreeBSD-2.1R. > > A look at the packets with a sniffer shows that the response packets on > > Ethernet have an protocol field equal to 0008 instead of 0800, and are > > consequently interpreted as IEEE802.3/2 packets instead of "classical" > > DIX Ethernet packets. > > What have I missed ? > > I've heard it said that the "port" is broken.

Now my server and a Win95 PC talk to each other.

I tried last night to install 2.1 from the CD-ROM. The CD is attached to a PINE EIDE controller on the secondary side as a slave device. I have two Western Digital disks on the Primary side. It wouldn't go directly from DOS and I suspect too many TSRs etc so I tried the atapi.flp approach. During the boot from the floppy I get the wdc0 finds which finds both the disks and is quite happy but although it finds wdc1 it does not report anything on this device. wdc1 at 0x170-??? irq 15 on isa ^^^ - I forget the number here but it seemed OK. So when I get as far as selecting the device to install from sysinstall says it can't find the CD. I've looked at freebsd.org and a search threw up a couple of ideas 1. Try the CD as slave on the primary side. 2. Try inst_ide.bat Is there anything else I should try? before returning the CD as unusable and paying out more money. I'm sorry but SCSI is not an option due to cost. QUESTION 2 Later today I should be taking delivery of a 1.2 Gb Western Digital IDE drive which I intend to devote entirely to FreeBSD. Currently I have : wd0: WD 200 Mb drive shared between DOS & FreeBSD 1.1.5.1R wd1: WD 250 Mb drive main FreeBSD 1.1.5.1R disk has / & /usr & swap. I want to reorganise the disks such that the 200Mb drive is wholly DOS/Windoze, the new 1.2 Gb disk is the main FreeBSD 2.1 disk / & /usr & swap, and the 250 Mb disk is FreeBSD working files etc. Does the 1.2 Gb disk have to be on the primary IDE controller for Boot Manager to see it? Can FreeBSD see any disks on the secondary IDE controller? Other suggestions, ideas welcomed. FINALLY A big thank you to the FreeBSD team for the hard work they put into 2.1. The sysinstall program is 200%+ better than the hassle involved in 1.1.5.1. Keep up the good work.

The only difference was that now I used a different dialup connection. With another machine that has the CERN WWW server installed, sometimes I have users reporting me that their passwords are not recognized during a session, but never experienced it myself (in fact I was not trusting these reports very much). I have only one thing in common with them: I get to the Internet through a proxy (the CERN httpd proxy in my case). I found that using this proxy I sometimes have problems when sending information to a Web server via the POST method, and at W3C Web site I read that some earlier versions of the W3C reference library caused such problems; supposedly, the version of the library that my proxy has is free from this, but I do experience it, and perhaps it loosely relates to the password problem. Well, I simply have no better hypothesis. If someone else observes a similar behaviour with a proxy, I would appreciate hearing about it, otherwise the problem should be considered as solved.

I've sent a question about an non-mountable CD. Now with a little DOS program, I've found that this CD is in High Sierra format. Does this format available under FBSD 2.1R? (The problem: I've FBSD2.1R with a Sony CDU-33A CD-driver on a Vibra-16. I can use it - I've installed with it. I've got a CD, and looked it under Windows, but would like to play the avi/wavc files under FB. So I mounted it. Everything looked fine. cd /cdrom: : not a directory. And yes, it wasn't a directory, it was a 2048 byte length file - the root dir of the CD. Umount /cdrom: error. umount /dec/scd0c - OK.) So the question is: what's the problem with this CD? On the CD from Walnut Creek, there is a sentence about FB can handle CD's with ISO9660 and RockRidge format. But as I know, High Sierra was the predessedor of ISO. Wasn't? -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.

I'm working on an addition to the FreeBSD handbook to explain how to do this. You really need to pay extreme attention to detail, or you'll end up with messages like you got.

VanLoon michaelv@HeadCandy.com > EISA/PCI is fine, unless your floppy contoller is on an EISA card. We recently migrated an old EISA 486/66 to a newer Pentium motherboard. Because of availability problems (and this was an emergency) we obtained an ASUS Neptune-based EISA/PCI board rather than their new Triton-2 board. Unfortunately, the floppy contoller was part of the EISA SCSI card and despite carefully pre-building an EISA boot disk with the necessary config files from both the new motherboard and the old peripherals. The machine refused to recognize the floppy on the EISA card. Putting in an ISA floppy controller to run the config solved the problem. The system administrator and her assistant took 20+ hours to do the upgrade (there was also a hard disk replacement involved with a backup and restore). Moral of the story: EISA/PCI is fine as long as the floppy controller is on the motherboard. Does anybody know the cost of the new ASUS PCI/EISA board? ====================================== When philosophy conflicts with reality, choose reality.

Umm. You must have had a weird card. The Adaptec 1742 (for example) has onboard floppy, is an EISA card, and works under FreeBSD. As I understand it, the floppy has to appear at a certain location in the BIOS space for it to be seen, and I have yet to hear of a on-board BIOS specifically for floppy controllers! Of course, the fact it's sat on an EISA bus may make a difference, I'm not sure... So it's not a generic ``you can't use a floppy drive controlled from an EISA card'', it must have been something specific to the card you were using.

I've noticed on my own systems, if I add/remove/change a setuid program, ls seems to decide to adjust the format of a bunch of lines because fewer/more columns are needed for the file size field, resulting in a large changes report from diff :-( Because xargs is used, ls is probably executed several times and as a result the format of only a section of the setuid file list changes. For my own use on systems that don't have BSD's -T option to ls, I've been working on a Perl replacement for /etc/security that includes its own ls-style functionality (with a static format for output).

The problem is that if you take a brand new EISA motherboard out of the box, plug a 1742 or BT747 or any other EISA card with the floppy controller on it you can not boot from the floppy since the EISA card containing the controller has not been configured into the EISA conf structures, and thus by default the board will be disabled until you configure it. Catch 22, can't boot from the floppy controller on an EISA card to configure it. This is a very annoying problem with EISA cards that happen to also be your floppy controller card. It also rares it's ugly head even once you get it configured if the EISA config in NVRAM gets lost or corrupt, or if you move cards, etc, etc... -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 7 12:54:40 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA16102 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 12:54:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from MindBender.HeadCandy.com (root@[199.238.225.168]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA16082; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 12:54:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost.HeadCandy.com (michaelv@localhost.HeadCandy.com [127.0.0.1]) by MindBender.HeadCandy.com (8.7.5/8.6.9) with SMTP id MAA12779; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 12:50:21 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199606071950.MAA12779@MindBender.HeadCandy.com> X-Authentication-Warning: MindBender.HeadCandy.com: Host michaelv@localhost.HeadCandy.com [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: "Rodney W.

Ah, not true! :-) At least in the case of the BusLogic cards... There is a jumper at the top of the card that will enable the card's floppy controller even if it isn't "configured" yet. Normally, you'd leave this jumper off and just configure the thing in the EISA config utility. But if you're in the situation you just described, you can short that jumper and the floppy controller will work, regardless. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.

Statically linked: o program code and data in image o library code and data in image o pages loaded from image on reference (program image is swap store) Dynamically linked: o program code and data in image o library data in image o library code in shared library image o shared library image mmap'ed into process address space on startup by modified crt0.o o library code is PIC (Position Independent Code) to allow mapping anywhere for any process. PIC is slower than statically linked code for Intel processors (artifact of DOS legacy, not a problem for most non-Intel chips) o program pages loaded from image on reference (program image is swap store) o library pages loaded from library image(s) on reference (library image is swap store) o library pages likely to be in core because of references by other processes causing high locality of reference. Note1: Because library data is linked into the program image instead of being pulled from the library (this could be fixed by going to seperate COFF or ELF segment ID's for library data mapping), shared library technology does *NOT* qualify under the LGPL relink clause. Vendors should be careful to distribute their linkable object modules to comply with the relink clause, even on Linux. Note2: Shared library calls are indirected through a call table instead of being fixed up on fault reference (like Dll's in windows) in order to allow the call table to remain shared text instead of duplicating pages per process. This is somewhat less efficient, in that an additional 6 cycle jump instruction is required on each reference following fixup. Note3: call table references are resolved at call time instead of being pre-bound at load time. This make initial function reference slower, and is a trade-off for appearance-of-speed on image startup. This was a conscious trade-off.

The problem seemed to come from the fact that this was an EISA to EISA upgrade (rather than a new installation) and the motherboard was not defaulting the floppy. I don't know enough about EISA to know where the configuration is stored (motherboard, card, or both) but I do know that the new motherboard would not recognize the floppy controller properly initially. They stuck in a generic ISA floppy controller to get things going. I think an EISA/PCI motherboard is fine, but because of that configuration floppy it is not hassle-free. Of course, it could have been some BIOS setting that was the real problem or it could have been "operator error". I suspect that if you were installing the cards "cold" in a new installation there would have been no problem. Also, I think the newer ASUS EISA/PCI has the floppy on the motherboard which should eliminate the problem. Then again, let's say you have a floppy controller on the motherboard and a floppy controller on your EISA SCSI controller. How do you run the EISA config to turn off the floppy on the SCSI controller? I left the system administrator a detailed upgrade procedure that I thought was foolproof, but of course I was the fool for thinking that! ====================================== When philosophy conflicts with reality, choose reality.

High Sierra is supported via the hsfs option (which isn't in the man page, and may not be communicated to the kernel), according to the cd9660 source code. Since CDROM's are invariant (ie: they are ROM's 8-)), this should be auto-stected (indeed, it is auto-detected, according to the code in the cd9660_mount() in the FS source code for CDROM FS's). You should look at the source for details (unfortunately, IMO, the code needs a rewrite and Jordan is the only one with enough CDROM's to be able to adequately test ;-)). I *believe* that tweaking around to *unforce* the Rockridge stuff will enable auto-detect on mount. It's been a while since I was in the code.

To bring you up to date, 1) I have now installed the BSD by turning off my IDE drive. As long as I boot from a floppy, it seems to work fine. So far no corruption of the IDE drive's partition table. (touch wood) I have received mail from others who have had the same problem as well as one that didn't. 2) I used the A option for partitioning the SCSI drive and therefore am no longer worrying about the geometry. The disklabel still sees the drive as about 300mb too large so I am manually reducing the size of the /USR so that the system won't try and write to the non-existent space. 3) do you have any problems with the /dev/lpt0 driver?

I'm afraid I deleted the previous message already due to email overload and an aggressive mail-deletion policy. :-) Jordan Ok I have to admit defeat. For three weeks I have tried every permutation of installing Free BSD on a 386 and 486 pc so that it installs on a SCSI drive purchased especially for the install. The problem is that I have an IDE drive as drive C and the SCSI as drive D. DOS sees everything fine and I have no hardware conflicts. What were the problems? 1) BSD's Fdisk cannot see the correct geometry for the SCSI drive. Even though I plug in the right numbers for the drive, BSD adds the size of the IDE drive to the SCSI drive and then destroys the partition table of both drives. Even when I dedicate the entire SCSI drive to FreeBSD, The install destroys the IDE partition and Boot sectors. 2) The installer destroys the partition table of the IDE drive even if the install is aborted. I assume that that last little syncing drives 1...2... is what does it before the install quits. 3) Even though the install seems to go without errors, the bootmgr uses virus technology (sic) to install itself in track 0 sector 1. This cannot be removed by using fdisk /mbr as it also seems that the track is write protected. Even diskedit cannot zero out the sector. This has cause several screaming fits around here as the only low level format I have is in the bios of my old 386 board so I then have to reinstall it to retrieve the drive. SOMEONE WHOULD WARN USERS OF THIS. THE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS AS FOLLOWS: low level format the drive install DOS from the original setup. The usual procedures do not work I suspect because they use BIOS routines while the original DOS install writes directly to the disk 4 Even if I put a small BSD partition on the IDE drive for root and swap, the BSD fdisk still screws up the SCSI partitions (thinks the drive is much larger than reality) and then destroys the IDE drive. 5 The FIPS program has a serious bug in it as it creates a second primary dos partition which confuses the hell out of DOS Short of dedicating a complete machine to BSD, is there any way to install BSD on a SCSI drive D when an IDE drive is already installed. How can one deinstall the stupid Bootmgr??? The last response to this question was some words about patching INT13 but had no real mechanism or software to do this. -------------------------- The following is from Tony Kimball and I beleive he cc'd the questions list. From: Dave Blizzard Date: Mon, 3 Jun 1996 11:43:36 -0400 Subject: FreeBSD.NOT Ok I have to admit defeat. Don't give up so easily. The rewards are quite substantial. Even when I dedicate the entire SCSI drive to FreeBSD, The install destroys the IDE partition and Boot sectors. This is a known problem with the 2.1 Boot. Switch to the 2.2-current disks. Or, unplug the IDE drive before installing. 3) Even though the install seems to go without errors, the bootmgr uses virus technology (sic) to install itself in track 0 sector 1. SOMEONE WHOULD WARN USERS OF THIS. It is well-known, but not adequately advertised. It caused me lots of problems. I was using the NT loader on my IDE drive, and found that running the first phase of the Win95 install would restore the boot info to the IDE drive. I did that several times, until I became familiar with the procedure. THE RECOVERY PROCEDURE IS AS FOLLOWS: low level format the drive install DOS from the original setup. The usual procedures (format & fdisk etc) do not work I suspect because they use BIOS routines while the original DOS install writes directly to the disk A Win95 CD is cheaper:-) Short of dedicating a complete machine to BSD, is there any way to install BSD on a SCSI drive D when an IDE drive is already installed. Again, I suggest unplugging the IDE drive until the system is stable. Sorry if this sounds like I am venting here but something is seriously wrong with the docs or I just don't understand this OS. Oh you are absolutely right, the 2.1 install docs should have big red letters around every page saying "you will probably destroy your other OSen unless you remove their disks and send them to bed until the dirty deed is done." Thing is, unless you *absolutely* need MS-Office or some such, you'll probably find the precautions wasted, since you will just end up wiping all other OSen from your system within a month or two.

Even the ELF shared libraries in Linux link the shared library data into the image. In order to get around this, you would need to be able to multiplex the data address space based on symbols. You could do this with ELF, if your execution loader and process page mapping cooperated. I believe that library data pages are not directly relocatable because the static code is not compiled to produce table-based references that can be relocated for library variable references (the data space is divided into stack and heap, and premapping the data into the heap would be ineffective without Microsoft style __declspec(dllimport) compiler directives). > > o shared library image mmap'ed into process address > > space on startup by modified crt0.o > > No. /usr/libexec/ld.so loader image mmap'ed into process address > space on startup by crt0.o. Shared library images are mmaped by > ld.so. You're right. I skipped this. The ld.so in a proper ELF system is mapped by the image loader, not by the crt0.o, and I wanted it to be generically applicable (this premap is the reason for the 0x08048000 SVR4 EABI ELF image load address -- to leave room for the kernel to map the ld.so in on the processes behalf). > > o library code is PIC (Position Independent Code) to > > allow mapping anywhere for any process.

I was talking about the cycle overhead of relative vs. absolute jumps; I wasn't aware of any register overhead issues... unless you are referring to jump-table based integration? That's an implementation issue (but as I pointed out in the prvious posting, jump tables are often used as read-only to avoid copy-on-write as a result of the fixups, so you're technically correct: Intel chips need more registers).

What does this mean and what do I do about it? I get it repeatedly using the Chimera web browser, and the xdtm s > hell. This means that the program tried to access memory that is not available to it and the kernel killed it. (Unlike certain other operating systems, Unix will not allow programs to misbehave in this way). It can be due to an error in the program - but this is unlikely if it's a program that's widely used. A more likely cause is a hardware problem such as a bad SIMM, or perhaps a faulty motherboard. The other possibility is an error in the operating system - but this is *extremely* unlikely unless you're running -current (the development version). The first thing I would do is get hold of a couple of spare SIMMs and try swapping them around. Also check you have the right speed SIMMs for the CPU, the bus speed is correctly set, etc. (it has been known for vendors to take short-cuts in these areas). Another thing you can try is a less aggressive cache setting in the BIOS - but write the current settings down on a piece of paper first!

At most there is 5 users reading news via NNRPD (not logged into the machine), and only 1 user (myself) logged in tailing the syslog (not running any heavy processes). The Problem: Every day or so the machine runs out of VM and kills INND, thus taking down the whole news server.

The machine is running on a ISA motherboard, with an the amount of swap that you have allocated is most likely insufficient. you should have enough memory to run all your processes without swapping. if that is not possible, then at least allocate more swap. the old rule of thumb says 100MB swap for ~50MB ram. use ps or top to see how large the set of processes becomes and size the machine to match. only 1 drive for news? moving history to another drive (or better another controller) would probably help you. jmb -- Jonathan M.

I rebuilt my kernel to include the de device for the smc, removed one of the ne2000's and replaced the sysconfig entries to point use the de0 instead. On boot, the system goes through all it's steps until it hits routed, at which time the scsi light on the controller lights solid and I have to reset. If I do not init the smc, the machien boots and runs fine. I suspect some conflict with the aha controller but I am not sure where to look. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks in advance. -Jeff FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE #0: Fri Jun 7 18:28:10 EDT 1996 root@tad:/usr/src/sys/compile/TAD CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x494 real memory = 33554432 (32768K bytes) avail memory = 30560256 (29844K bytes) Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0 rev 49 on pci0:5 de0 rev 17 int a irq 9 on pci0:13 de0: DC21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 1.1 Ethernet address 00:00:c0:98:95:c6 de0: enabling 10baseT UTP port vga0 rev 0 on pci0:15 Probing for devices on the ISA bus: scprobe: keyboard RESET failed (result = 0xfa) sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <4 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> ed0 at 0x280-0x29f irq 12 on isa ed0: address 00:c0:f0:06:c5:c6, type NE2000 (16 bit) ed1 at 0x340-0x35f irq 10 on isa ed1: address 00:00:b4:64:27:04, type NE2000 (16 bit) lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa (aha0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST31200N 8648" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(aha0:0:0): Direct-Access 1006MB (2061108 512 byte sectors) sd0(aha0:0:0): with 2700 cyls, 9 heads, and an average 84 sectors/track (aha0:1:0): "SEAGATE ST12550N 0014" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 2040MB (4178874 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 2708 cyls, 19 heads, and an average 81 sectors/track (aha0:5:0): "NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:501 2.2" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(aha0:5:0): CD-ROM cd present.[325252 x 2048 byte records] fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: NEC 72065B fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in matcdc0 not found at 0x320 npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa sb0: sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 7 on isa sbxvo0: sbmidi0 at 0x300 on isa opl0 at 0x388 on isa opl0: From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 7 17:02:13 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA06241 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 17:02:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from www.durham.net (www.durham.net [207.81.58.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA06236; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 17:02:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from deanf@localhost) by www.durham.net (8.6.11/8.6.9) id UAA09344; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 20:03:49 -0400 Date: Fri, 7 Jun 1996 20:03:48 -0400 (EDT) From: Dean Forester To: "Jonathan M.

This has cause several screaming fits That doesn't make much sense as I wipe out FreeBSD's boot manger with `fdisk /mbr' all the time.

Erm. All I can really say is that you must have one of those hardware combinations that frightens small children and FreeBSD.. :-) For the record, I *never* recommend mixing IDE and SCSI in the same box. There's just too much weirdness involving which one "wins" at being able to stick its drives in as 0x80 and 0x81. I've come across this situation twice in my charity consulting work and each time performed an "IDEdectomy" to remove the IDE drives, after which everything worked just great. That shall continue to be my recommendation until people stop building PC configurations with a built-in gun aimed at their feet.

IDE drives vs SCSI drive have been discussed at length here and this may start the screaming again. IDE uses much more cpu to do the same amount of i/o as compared to scsi. losts more interrupts == losts more context switches for less data each context switch. this does not improve performance. > What is the easiest way to add a new swap partition to this machine?

ISA cards work without configuration in an EISA system, so long as there are no conflicts. This is because configuration files are not available for most ISA cards. (Some manufacturers created "generic ISA device" configuration files, but system integrators tended not to use them. The systems still worked.) > If, as Rod suggested, the floppy controller is on an already-configured > EISA card, and you move it to a different slot or different motherboard, > you are quite likely to be hosed. Actually, this is generally NOT true. Even though it's an EISA card, the floppy controller is usually just an ISA interface that's "coming along for the ride" on the same physical board. It is usually enabled by a jumper. Sometimes, the EISA configuration can DISABLE it, but on most cards, the jumper is the only way of turning it on or off. If you don't realize this, you can wind up with two conflicting floppy controllers on the same IRQ, DMA channel, and I/O ports. This can cause trouble. --Brett From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 7 18:02:25 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id SAA12175 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 18:02:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from www.durham.net (www.durham.net [207.81.58.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id SAA12159; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 18:02:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from deanf@localhost) by www.durham.net (8.6.11/8.6.9) id VAA10651; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 21:03:59 -0400 Date: Fri, 7 Jun 1996 21:03:59 -0400 (EDT) From: Dean Forester To: "Jonathan M.

I am finding that the alt groups are accounting for about 70% of the feed, therefore I will have to leave the alt groups on the 4Gb SCSI, but I could put the other groups on the new drive.. I do plan on upgrading ALL of the drives on the system to SCSI in the next month or so, but I have to make do with what I already have until then. :-< Thanks, Dean Forester From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 7 18:22:06 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id SAA13962 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 18:22:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.164]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id SAA13957 for ; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 18:22:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id SAA12383; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 18:21:28 -0700 Date: Fri, 7 Jun 1996 18:21:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Rod Aust cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: your mail In-Reply-To: <199606072024.NAA18388@freefall.freebsd.org> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, 7 Jun 1996, Rod Aust wrote: > Could you please recomend any books for the first-time UNIX administrator?

That script runs during the install only. After it finishes installing you can modify the modem config file in /var/spool/fax/etc/config.* as necessary. Some sample configs are in /var/spool/fax/config.

Then you need to modify /etc/sendmail.cf. Change the Cw line to contain all of your machine's names. For instance, my machine's A name is riley-net170-164, but is CNAMEd to gdi.

This bug appears to be fixed in -current with a patch Terry Lambert submitted, but since I'm not FS guru I won't vouch that I *completely* understand the fix. That's the reason it's in -current and not -stable, but if it's any consolation all of my boxes are running with this patch on them. :) Nate From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jun 7 21:32:01 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA05114 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 21:32:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.164]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA05101 for ; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 21:31:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dwhite@localhost) by riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id VAA00502; Fri, 7 Jun 1996 21:32:01 -0700 Date: Fri, 7 Jun 1996 21:32:00 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Ian McArdle cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Problem In-Reply-To: <31B82746.43E9@m130.aone.net.au> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, 7 Jun 1996, Ian McArdle wrote: > Hi, I bought the CDROM version of Freebsd 2.1.

For example, if you copied the tcsh package onto your DOS partition as TCSH.TGZ or something, you will need to copy it to the FreeBSD filesystem to tcsh-6.03.tgz or whatever the original name was. Then you may use the 'pkg_add' command to install the application. pkg_add tcsh-6.03.tgz Does that make sense? What type of CD do you have? We may be able to coax it into working if it's IDE/ATAPI.

My experience is that you need the CD-ROM as master. on the secondary controller I have a Mitsumi and my freebsd just finds it if I have it as master. I don't know why.

If it has resources on it that respond to I/O cycles that are not controlled by the EISA configuration parameters, the card is in violation of the EISA spec. Those cards that use a jumper _only_ to control the ISA floppy interface on them are not true EISA cards, but mixed ISA/EISA cards.

Remeber, part of the idea of EISA was to eliminate jumper settings and go to a soft configure, but everyone seems to have cheated on this one :-(. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 8 01:34:08 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id BAA09903 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 8 Jun 1996 01:34:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from palmer.demon.co.uk (palmer.demon.co.uk [158.152.50.150]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id BAA09882 for ; Sat, 8 Jun 1996 01:33:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from palmer.demon.co.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by palmer.demon.co.uk (sendmail/PALMER-1) with ESMTP id JAA04423; Sat, 8 Jun 1996 09:24:12 +0100 (BST) To: Dean Forester cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: "Gary Palmer" Subject: Re: INN 1.4 unoff4 running on FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE In-reply-to: Your message of "Fri, 07 Jun 1996 18:10:44 EDT."

You get a ``swap_pager: out of swap space'' message on the console? If not, what is happening is that innd is running into the per-user VM usage limits, and you need to increase the limits in the shell before innd is started. If you ARE getting ``swap_pager: out of swap space'', then you really need to add more RAM, but a temporary solution is to add more swap space (which means that expire will take forever as the machine WILL thrash). I believe it's documented in the handbook how to do this (I can't remember offhand). Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.

My tests of turning the BIOS back on was a VERY short lived experiment, one boot and my partition table got whacked. However, I believe that the BIOS only sets 32bit and block mode enable which can be adjusted in MB BIOS on some systems (at least mine). After that it works great, I've got a drive on the primary channel and a CD-ROM on the secondary (ISA) channel. -- Rob Snow From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 8 03:33:39 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id DAA15302 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 8 Jun 1996 03:33:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: from matinf.pcz.czest.pl (pwezgowi@matinf.pcz.czest.pl [193.59.120.68]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id DAA15177 for ; Sat, 8 Jun 1996 03:33:14 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199606081033.DAA15177@freefall.freebsd.org> Received: by matinf.pcz.czest.pl (1.38.193.5/16.2) id AA07205; Sat, 8 Jun 1996 12:32:59 +0200 From: Pawel Wezgowiec Subject: PCI + Ethernet To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Sat, 8 Jun 96 12:32:58 METDST Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Operating System: HP-UX A.09.04 B Organization: Technical University of Czestochowa, Poland Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85.2.1] Hi, Does anybody use with success any of these cards?

Yes. 1. Please specify a subject in your messages, or nobody will read them. 2. The way I got this message, it consisted mainly of empty lines. It was about 3 times as long as it needed to be. If this is in your control, please omit the empty lines in the future. If it isn't, consider using a different mailer. 3. Get the disk install document from ftp://freefall.FreeBSD.org/incoming/disks.ps.gz and read it. It will tell you how to get more storage in a file system on a floppy. It will also tell you why you don't want to do it.

If so. .. do format, label, install fs to flooppy? Can this be done? I understand your concern :-) but I believe it is not possible (to copy your kernel to a boot floppy) since the boot floppy contains a special compressed kernel and a special compression/link mechanism to include all necessary binaries in one multiply linked file. You can do if you learn how to build a release (this requires some skill and a lot of disk space and time). I would save that kernel to a tar floppy and have a set of boot.flp, fixit.flp and root.flp around so you can bootstrap yourself in case of desaster. > > Thanks in advance > > Bob Abel > > babel@cais.com > --Chris Christoph P.

The problem is that the spec wasn't well thought-out -- in quite a number of ways. There was no way to "bootstrap;" that is, a machine whose floppy controller was not configured to work could not run the configuration program. The configuration programs were also horrors: big, slow, and ugly. And a full set of configuration files couldn't fit on a disk. The bad engineering that went into that software is largely responsible for the failure of EISA. --Brett From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jun 8 13:26:15 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA13805 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 8 Jun 1996 13:26:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from unix1.ism.com.br (root@unix1.ism.com.br [200.255.211.35]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA13754 for ; Sat, 8 Jun 1996 13:25:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from clpc1.compuland.com.br ([200.255.96.22]) by unix1.ism.com.br (8.7.1/8.7.1) with SMTP id RAA22985 for ; Sat, 8 Jun 1996 17:25:30 -0300 Date: Sat, 8 Jun 1996 17:25:30 -0300 Message-Id: <199606082025.RAA22985@unix1.ism.com.br> X-Sender: compland@ism.com.br X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@freebsd.org From: compland@ism.com.br (Helio Coelho Jr. - CompuLand Informatica) Subject: Blocking access to Popper from outside Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi: Is there a way to block people checking their mail in POPPER from outside the local network ?

I don't know why. I haven't had a look at the code. I know why: because IDE sucks. It's a hackish, nightmarish abomination. As can be illustrated by the problems being discussed here. I have heard of this same behavior (some drive needs to be master or won't work) under many different OSs -- it's probably not a FreeBSD-specific problem. Sorry, I know that's not very helpful, but it's Yet Another Reason to buy SCSI, if there is any way you can. If you're stuck with IDE, I'm not telling you to throw it away unless you can afford to replace it all.

They are in the ports collection, I would recomend compiling it with the extended cheching option, this allowing you to have a hosts.allow file that you can define what can and cant do what on what port...

I would disagree here as to the software being largely responsible for the failure of EISA, cost was the number one reason for failure, hardware cost that is.
