I've been attempting to get disk mirroring working * following the directions below. I can make it to the point * where I create the 1-disk ccd, however, I have troubles * disklabeling it. When I attempt "disklabel -w -r ccd0 auto" * I get back "disklabel: open(): No such file or directory". * The man pages for disklabel mention that there may be * problems with this, but do not give any solutions. Does * anyone know how to make this work so I can label ccd0? * * BTW, I tried going ahead anyway and editiing the disklabel * using "disklabel -e ccd", but this created errors if I just * tried to label the e & f partitions. The man pages stated that * some drivers only would work with "a" paritions for unlabeled * disks and I tried that as well without success. Aw shucks. I haven't tried the "auto" myself, didn't know that doesn't work with ccd. Yes, it seems like you can't edit the ccd disklabel (with disklabel -e) without writing one first. (The output you get by just calling disklabel on ccd0 is a "fake" one and you can't edit that.) Just save the output of "disklabel ccd0" in a file, write *some* label (e.g., "disklabel -wr ccd0 fuji513", look at /etc/disktab for entries), and then use "disklabel -e ccd0" and save the result back. You can then modify it.

I'm trying to make sure that the problem isn't on my side, as I've never seen this problem with Ascends until recently on two -current systems. Basicly, the remote side appears to go deaf under *bursty* traffic loads and the link remains dead until I restart it by hanging up. By dead, I mean that even LCP echos are not being received back, and turning on tons of debugging shows data being fed to the internal modem. I can't debug past there. This could either mean send buffers are wedged/full on my side, or I've got flaky modem/serial 16550 emulation on the modem, or the problem really is with "the other guy." I'm using some relatively cruddy $99 TI modems which are relatively suspicious clones of the US Robotics Sportster 288/344 + PnP. The interesting thing is that it seems to happen most often when I would be seeing the window opening up on a second TCP flow, which makes me insanely suspicious of the 16550 emulation hardware or our driver. Any suggestions as to where to start digging to get into the guts of our driver? Anyone else see anything suspicious like this?

Ah. I thought I saw a commit message from Jordan about a week ago saying he'd updated this, but perhaps I got this wrong.

A few remaining small :) questions: 1. I understand what is required to boot from sd1 as opposed to sd0, but I am having trouble copying the root parition on sd0 to sd1. This is because I think cpio copies to files or directories, not partitions? Is it acceptable to do: mkdir /mnt/tmp mount -o async /dev/sd1a /mnt/tmp find -x . | cpio -pmV /mnt/tmp 2. Is there a way to see if the mirroring is working? I cannot check my hard drive lights because they are not visible. How can I see if the writes are indeed going to both disks? I will do a full test of booting with sd0 disabled, but I would like another quick method to check that mirroring is ok. Thanks again, hopefully this will be the last time I bother you, except to say "Thanks, it worked!".

I haven't tried the "auto" myself, didn't know that doesn't work with ccd. Yes, it seems like you can't edit the ccd disklabel (with disklabel -e) without writing one first. (The output you get by just calling disklabel on ccd0 is a "fake" one and you can't edit that.) Just save the output of "disklabel ccd0" in a file, write *some* label (e.g., "disklabel -wr ccd0 fuji513", look at /etc/disktab for entries), and then use "disklabel -e ccd0" and save the result back. You can then modify it.

In the debug virtual console I see: Hmmmm. I don't actually test the floppy install much anymore as it's simply too painful and I've usually got 1001 other things to test which require less pain, so I do those in preference. In previous times people would actually help me test this *before* release, but no such luck these days. :-( >From looking at your output, it seems as though perhaps a bug has crept in which requires the files to be under a dist directory (e.g. a:\dist\bin\bin.{inf,aa,ab,...}). Could you give that a shot and let me know if it has any effect? > what is going on?? a request for *.tgz give me a bad feeling, like it's not > even looking for bin.aa,bin.ab... Not to worry, it always looks for a "whole piece" file first, then goes on to look for an info files (bin.inf in this case) which identifies how many piece files to look for. I see the probe for bin.inf in your output, so it looks like it simply can't find any of the files. > and what's the *.mtree stuff for? If I copy it to a dos floppy it becomes > *.MTR of course. That's just for security - it's an mtree file for all files extracted by the bindist so that you can verify your system later against it and see if anything has changed (perhaps from a break-in attempt or filesystem corruption).

Sounds like either: 1. You have multiple systems and didn't install the Boot Manger. 2. The 'active' bit go reset on the partition. Use DOS FDISK to reset the 'active' partition to the FreeBSD slice.

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.

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.

Message-ID: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just recently installed 2.1.5R on my system. I have to say I am impressed with the installer, which is massively improved from 2.1.0R, which I installed and then zapped when 2.1.5R was announced one day later :) Anyway, my question/problem stems from the fact that I connect to the internet via a dialup PPP link (haven't tried yet under FreeBSD) and that I therefore do not have a hostname assigned to my machine. For now, I have placed an arbitrary name in the "hostname" field of /etc/sysconfig, but I get all sorts of daemons telling me on botup that the hostname (obviously) doesn't exist. I know I can turn off things like sendmail until I get a permanent link in the fall, but can someone warn me as to what types of problems running without a "real" hostname can cause (the comments in sysconfig and the installer both stress the importance of this value)? Also, is there any way to tell FreeBSD's network daemons *not* to perform a hostname lookup (i.e. just use the dynamic IP address instead)? Thanks a lot...

Interviews is much more than just a library, so just installing the library alone will certainly not get you the Interviews build environment. Their makefiles are kinda goofy, because they go to a lot of trouble trying to make a pseudo-namespace. I guess the Interviews programmers came from an environment with a great amount of control over namespaces, and in their comments, they grouse a lot over this not being available in C and C++, so they get what they want by some horrible include files, that put "iv" in front of all their exported functions, instead of just letting the programmer see the iv in the first place. This trick of theirs made porting interviews to new environments a major pain, because that's the feature that screws up the most. Anyhow, use the interviews port in /usr/ports/x11/iv, and install it from there. You CAN'T get away just with the library, and you MUST have a full x11 enviroment available (like the XFree86 stuff). To tell you the truth, if you're going to be doing any development at all using interviews, I'd go buy the O'Reilly Imake book and read it, because you're going to need to know a bit more about imakefiles. It won't be that bad, but you won't get away without a little study here. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 Sun Jul 21 19:24:49 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA09303 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 21 Jul 1996 19:24:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freenet.hamilton.on.ca (main.freenet.hamilton.on.ca [199.212.94.65]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA09296 for ; Sun, 21 Jul 1996 19:24:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from james.freenet.hamilton.on.ca (james.freenet.hamilton.on.ca [199.212.94.66]) by freenet.hamilton.on.ca (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA19009; Sun, 21 Jul 1996 22:24:29 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from ac199@localhost) by james.freenet.hamilton.on.ca (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA02338; Sun, 21 Jul 1996 22:26:09 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sun, 21 Jul 1996 22:26:09 -0400 (EDT) From: Tim Vanderhoek To: Ed Sweeney cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: rzsz.zip is not in distfiles In-Reply-To: <31F291BD.41C67EA6@gate.net> 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 Sun, 21 Jul 1996, Ed Sweeney wrote: > I'm trying to install the rz and sz ports but the "master site" has been > off line for a while and rzsz.zip is not in distfiles.

If I remember correctly, that is because the license for sz and rz does not allow them to be packaged and sold. Read the Makefile for the port, and then read the license information that should be distributed with rzsz (not the FreeBSD port, but the original package). You have to make rzsz from a port. The handbook has well-written instructions on how to go about this. It only involves a few more steps than adding the stuff from a package. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken?

You are right, just shut-off the things like SENDMAIL. To get PPP to recognize a dynamic IP address you just need to copy the /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.sample to /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup . While you are in there you can edit the sample files there to personalize your PPP session.

A little undocumented DOS magic: FDISK /MBR Be sure to use the FDISK that came with the DOS version that you have installed. It will just replace the MBR (Master Boot Record), won't even print a single character, but that's O.K. > Thanks, You're welcome... > Also, how do I get it to boot off a second (D) IDE drive,so I can have both > but on seperate drives? Don't know about 2.0.5 (anybody else does???) but in 2.1.0, you can select the drive to which FreeBSD will install. Note that you *must have* the boot manager installed on the first drive, so select both during install, and create a FBSD partiotion only on the second one.

When I had 2.0.5, I made my second IDE drive the only drive, did the install, and then set it back to slave and put it back in my box with my DOS disk as master. Then to boot FreeBSD, I used a floppy. Not the most elegant way to do it, but it works. An even better way is to get 2.1.5. 2.0.5 will probably continue to present problems well into the future.

This appears to be something of a fatal error now, which I'll look into, but if you set it to something you won't run afoul of this one. Yes, in fact I did leave the name server field blank. [I have a local installation, using ethernet, and am connected to the outside world using a CSLIP connection. This means that there are two IP numbers - one for the local ethernet interface, and one for the SLIP interface. All the local numbers are known explicitly, and listed in /etc/hosts. My name server lives on the other side of the SLIP link. As I understand, FreeBSD does not yet support installing over a SLIP link (and moreover, it would be too slow). Moreover, the installation procedure does not have the option of listing more than one IP number (and more than one hostname) for the machine.] > In the meantime I tried a different approach and wrote > 2.1.5-RELEASE to a SCSI tape and installed from there. > The installation process was more or less successful; > it complained `couldn't extract compat1x compat20 commerce xperimnt' > even while this release did contain subdirectories Hmmmm.

You should have said "yes" to the boot manager question. :-) Well, maybe. Would the FreeBSD boot manager have been able to boot FreeBSD from the fifth disk (sd1) even when BIOS only knows about disk 0 and 1?

Your FBSD boot is after that limit, so you cannot boot it. (Or any other Operating System.)

However, since the system has come back up, many log files like the web server logs and mail logs have the date/time stamp in GMT rather than local time. What makes it truly weird is that occasionally (once a day, for several hours) the log times are correct. For example, here's an edited excerpt from the web server log: cs1-3.protocom.com - - [22/Jul/1996:13:01:42 +0000] "GET ... cs1-3.protocom.com - - [22/Jul/1996:13:01:44 +0000] "GET ... 194.72.197.155 - - [22/Jul/1996:09:08:51 -0400] "GET ... 198.187.18.72 - - [22/Jul/1996:09:11:48 -0400] "GET ... 198.187.18.72 - - [22/Jul/1996:09:11:49 -0400] "GET ...

I've also written some C programs and the timezone information coming from functions like locatime() looks ok, i.e. a "seconds west of GMT" value of 14400. I'm stuck here. Any other things to try?

The EZ135 is a full function SCSI drive (and IDE for that version?). I use it now as at sd3. The gotcha that I had is that probing it does not come up with the right configuration.

I noted, downloaded and installed the WIDE dhcp server to play with, but I have a problem. Evidently the windows version of the dhcp server will send the client an IP when requested ( and router, subnet, dns server, domain name and other things ). The client then sends a notification to the WNIS server saying that I am here and this is my IP. The Microsloft WNIS server supports serving dns packets, and will serve the IP/hostname which was sent to it by the client. In looking at what FreeBSD has to offer, we have a dns server, named; and a WNIS server, nmbd, which comes with samba. Has anyone played with nmbd in relation to DNS and encountered this problem. I would like to put this all together and make it seamless, but currently it looks like I would have to update the DNS server any time it gave a different IP to a host. Since we are going to make the lease time unlimited, I would not have to make this update very often... but I would have to make it. ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?

I've atttempted to perform a floppy installation on two machines. The first, a 386 with two 114MB IDE disks. FreeBSD gives the warning that calculated sectors/cylinder disagress with disk label. Some quick math reveals that the disk label (255) is correct. Also, the second machine, a 486DLC with a WD 850MB IDE runs into the same problem. Again, not surprisingly, the disk label is correct and FreeBSD installation appears to be wrong. In both cases, the net result is an error message like "written -1 of 512 bytes" and the debug screen shows "unexpected end of file invalid gzip archive". How does FreeBSD compute this number, and is there anything that I can do to FORCE it into the right parameters? Please help.

Just put an entry in /etc/hosts, using one of the reserved IP addresses for your fictitious host name, eg 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.1 foobar Also, change your /etc/host.conf to read hosts bind so that it'll look in /etc/hosts first instead of doing a DNS query. > Also, is there any way to tell FreeBSD's network daemons *not* to perform a > hostname lookup (i.e. just use the dynamic IP address instead)? If you've set PPP up correctly (see the Handbook for details), your machine should magically set itself up on connection so it appears to have the correct IP address.

One of the 'features' of gmake is the ability to 'stop compiling' until the load average of the machine goes down to an acceptable level, so it needs permissions to read /dev/mem to determine the load average. I consider it's setgid-ness along with the 'load average' bit to be a mis-feature.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Our mail server, horst.bfd.com, has been running 2.1.0R for the last 9 months. I've kept the sendmail upgraded to the latest 8.7.X release, and was already running 8.7.5 (from either -stable or -current, not sure which). Last week, when 2.1.5R was rereleased, I installed it on horst, as I thought it might clean up some problems we were having with an AHA2842 and SCSI tape drives. Anyway, I just noticed that horst is masquerading as horst.bfd.com, not bfd.com. In fact, whenever anyone sends mail via horst, (smtp from MS Exchange or pine), all bfd.com addresses get rewritten as horst.bfd.com, including the from address. I haven't had the chance to test mail sent to a non *.bfd.com address, but mail to other machines that have their own MX record also gets rewritten when horst acts as a relay. Has anyone seen this? Unfortunately, when I saw that 2.1.5R had 8.7.5 already, I deleted the source that I used to install it from last time.

I haven't decided whether to install by FTP or CDROM yet. I'm currently using Windows 95 if that makes any difference. I used rawrite to copy boot.flp (ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/floppies/boot.flp) to a floppy and I used it to boot the computer. I got the normal three or four lines of header and usage info followed by the "boot:" prompt. After about two seconds, the screen filled with the line: ERROR: C:0 H:0 S:0 repeated; obviously in an infinite loop. I then brought the same boot disk to work and booted an old 486/33 here and everything worked just fine. Can I assume the disk is OK?

Wonder when > > will Ghostscript start supporting the 600 and 800 series printers... [...] An update on drivers for the HP DeskJet 600 and friends with Ghostscript: Unfortunately, the ljet4 driver has a rather annoying problem with alignment with the DeskJet 600. However, there is another driver which works: the lj4dith driver, part of the cdj (color deskjet) drivers. Unfortunately, it's a gray-scale driver -- still no color. There are two difficulties with this arrangement: 1. The alignment problem still exists, but it can be fixed. In the file "gdevcdj.c", look for a line which reads: #define LJET4_MARGINS 0.26, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 comment it out and replace it with #define LJET4_MARGINS 0.125, 0.50, 0.125, 0.007 2. Unfortunately, the cdj driver is NOT one of the default drivers installed with ghostscript, and it was hard for me to get it enabled. I rewrote part of the port to make it easier to recompile the port version to do it -- essentially, you need to edit the configure script in the scripts version. Here's the diff between the two versions (this is for the gs3.53 port): ---- begin diff here -- no you probably can't run patch on it ---- 10,11c10,15 < < ${WRKSRC}/unix-gcc.mak > ${WRKSRC}/unix-gcc.mak.bak && \ < mv ${WRKSRC}/unix-gcc.mak.bak ${WRKSRC}/unix-gcc.mak --- > -e "s;DEVICE_DEVS4=;DEVICE_DEVS4=lj4dith.dev ;" \ > < ${WRKSRC}/gcc-head.mak > ${WRKSRC}/gcc-head.mak.bak && \ > mv ${WRKSRC}/gcc-head.mak.bak ${WRKSRC}/gcc-head.mak > > cd ${WRKSRC} > ./tar_cat ----- end diff ---- This changed configure explicitly adds the lj4dith driver, and allows easier addition of more drivers (edit gcc-head.mak , run the script tar_cat from the ghostscript distribution). Now, the lj4dith driver should run with the deskjet 600. FOR YOU COLOR PEOPLE I have also heard that the paintjet driver works, but is deadly slow. However, if you need color, this may be enough to get you it (I don't know -- I don't have color carts for my DJ600, and I'm satisfied with good black and white printing, which the dj4dith provides).

This usually means that FreeBSD didn't detect the disk's geometry right. Delete the FreeBSD slice, put a small DOS slice on the disk, then delete it in sysinstall when you allocate space for FreeBSD in the fdisk editor.

The way to fix it is to create a small DOS slice on the target disk, then delete it when you create the FreeBSD slice in the fdisk editor. fdisk should pick up the proper geometry from the DOS slice.

The msdosfs code is undergoing a total rewrite. Attached to it will be a vfatfs that will handle win95's VFAT. The fs code is being coded in such a way that adding fat32 isn't supposed to be a big problem. This is from an earlier msg today in -current I believe. Realize that fat32 isn't supposed to be out until fall, and I'd be that freeBSD's implementation will tail that by some time. We are targeting a fall release of the new fs code. I don't speak for the programmers on that project though, and as always promising dates is a bad thing in computing.

Plug tape drive into power & SCSI controller. Boot FreeBSD, make sure tape is detected in SCSI probe.

Getting dump working is a different matter entirely :) We had to tweak the blocksize and # blocks/tape before it would work right on a Colorado 2/4GB QIC.

Problem resolved, someone added a line IN CNAME horst to the relevant named config file so that our web server would answer to bfd.com in addition to www.bfd.com (and horst.bfd.com, obviously), which apparently confused sendmail. Since it isn't related to the FreeBSD upgrade, I'll take this to the sendmail newsgroup. BTW, anyone know the right way to do this? I understand the sentiment, but I refuse to do it if it means breaking email.

This is old info. Only really old and cheap modems don't have NVRAM nowadays. And if your modem doesn't, go buy one that does. The Supras do and are very fine modems IMHO.

I have recently converted from Linux to freebsd 2.1.5-release on my pentium system. The problem is that i cannot get the ethernet card I have to work. I believe it is a Gateway ethernet card and it works under Linux 1.2.13 as a ne2000 compatible, but in new linux kernels it locks on detection on every other boot. The problem in FreeBSD is that it the system locks up on detection on every boot. The card is currently on 0x300 irq11 and there is no conflicts with either the address or irq that I am aware of. I have tried defining GW_ETHER which i noticed while reading the if_ed.c file and that did not work either. I believe this problem is stemming from how many cards the ne1000/ne2000 driver is trying to detect, and this old card may not handle it well. I'm open for suggestions...

Make sure you are creating a default route so the system will use the dialup interface instead of the ethernet. This is best handled by typing "add 0 0 HISADDR" after connecting in ppp. Then check 'netstat -rn' and make sure the routing tables look okay. I disabled my ethernet card while I am here at home using ppp. When I get back to the University this fall I'll turn it back on again to use the local net.

And yes, you can upgrade from the local FS, it just takes a while. Just make sure the file organization mirrors ftp.freebsd.org. When it asks you for the dist directory, put in the top level of that organization. For instance, we d/l's 2.1.5-RELEASE onto our ftp site, so I pointed it to the directory /usr/anon/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE. It is interesting to note that this upgrade is _slower_ than network upgrades from a local machine. I'm guessing the heavy FS activity (read/extract/write) on the sync FS is hurting it. Just an oddity.

Noticed this problem still exists in the -current tree. Looks like the old mnttab.h just needs deleted and mount_ext2fs.c revised (below).

There are basically two opportunities. You can configure a custom kernel, and tell it config kernel root on sd1 But then, the bootstrap defaults to override this statement, ... The second version is to create a `generic' kernel (alas, the GENERIC kernel is not a `generic' one), and use the -a option to the boot loader, ... Both options are not very satisfactory to you. ... As far as I can see, they are not satisfactory for a more basic reason: 1) The install floppy does not seem to react to the -a or -r flags. 2) This `configure' activity you refer to sounds suspiciously like compiling a kernel. I don't know how to do this. [A feeble attempt using the fixit floppy and mount /dev/sd1a /mnt; mount /mnt/dev/sd1f /mnt/usr PATH=/mnt/bin:/mnt/sbin:/mnt/usr/bin:$PATH cd sys make fails on "make: no ld.so", and at first sight I couldn't find ld.so either. Every other program not on the floppy fails in the same way.] In other words, this sounds like a solution that requires an already functioning FreeBSD system. > Wat is the naming scheme for > disks and partitions and slices? sd0s2a partition `a' (presumably bootable) of second slice on third SCSI disk, slice has a BSD label You don't mean first SCSI disk? ... have a BSD label (i.e., can be a MS-Dog slice) I never understood why people cannot be sufficiently open-minded to spell the names of their opponents correctly. Maybe this is a GNUism? From: Bruce Evans 0:sd(2,a)/kernel would work to boot from BIOS hard drive 0 to FreeBSD SCSI drive 2. Unfortunately, `0:' means hard drive 0 - there is no way to boot from floppy drive 0 to another drive even when you have loaded the boot program from floppy drive 0. Perhaps the BIOS drive number should be the full number - 0 for floppy drive 0 and 0x80 for hard drive 0. So no luck today.

Yes, that is what I said. The install procedure wanted 4 things that it couldn't find, while 2 were in fact there, and I took the full 2.1.5-RELEASE from some mirror site. So, both the fact that it wanted absent things and the fact that it complained about present things seem to be flaws in the installation procedure. But if I am not mistaken the upshot of this experiment is that I can delete FreeBSD again from my fifth disk. Nobody has so far suggested an approach that might get it to boot. [I can compile Linux on non-Linux machines, like a SUN Sparc with SunOS or an SGI with IRIX. Does the FreeBSD kernel source allow cross compilation?

Glad to hear that! * A few remaining small :) questions: * * 1. I understand what is required to boot from sd1 as opposed to * sd0, but I am having trouble copying the root parition on sd0 to * sd1. This is because I think cpio copies to files or directories, not * partitions? Is it acceptable to do: * * mkdir /mnt/tmp * mount -o async /dev/sd1a /mnt/tmp * find -x . | cpio -pmV /mnt/tmp Yes, that should work. Assuming you were in / to begin with, of course. BTW, if you are running this from cron or something, you may not want the "V" flag (that prints out a dot for a file). This only copies new files over so old files won't be deleted. You can also use dd to copy the partition directly. Something like dd if=/dev/rsd0a of=/dev/rsd1a bs=512 should work (you may need to add a "seek=32 skip=32" if it says permission denied or something). This of course will solve the delete old files problem. * 2. Is there a way to see if the mirroring is working? I cannot check * my hard drive lights because they are not visible. How can I see if * the writes are indeed going to both disks? I will do a full test of * booting with sd0 disabled, but I would like another quick method * to check that mirroring is ok. Sorry, that lights comment was only halfway serious. You can use "systat -iostat" to see the disk activities without opening up the case. * Thanks again, hopefully this will be the last time I bother you, except * to say "Thanks, it worked!".

All domains that end in .org, .net, .edu, .gov, and .com MUST go through the InterNIC. Domains ending in .us, .au, .ca, .uk, etc. are handled by different organizations. It appears that the organization which you pointed out provides a way to register .uk domains which do not have to be processed by the InterNIC (damn good thing too, their registration process is S-L-O-W!!!) - Justin J.

AT&C1&D2 should be all you need, The rest are usual defaults in the Zoom. Of course write them with AT&W as Doug mentioned. Dosn't the modem have to answer the phone?? ie: ATS0=x, Where x is >0 & <256 the ring to answer on. Zero means don't answer. Defaults are usually Zero ... Thus ATS0=x should be added before writing. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...

(I think we call it > "Virtual Hosts") Virtual domains may imply mail handling for multiple domains such as here where I am robin@is.co.za and robin@isc.co.za etc. The mail handling isn't part of the operating system but the mail transfer agent (sendmail) that is shipped with FreeBSD can certainly handle mail for multiple domains. As Doug says, FreeBSD can do IP aliasing too. -- _ __ | Only my ideas here unless I say otherwise...

Every other program not on the floppy fails in the same way.] You can "chroot /mnt" from the fixit floppy. If there's no chroot binary, execute it as /mnt/usr/sbin/chroot.

The way you phrased your question, no intelligent answer can be given. Everything can do everything something else does if you put some effort into it.

Also the stability is real impressive. For more detailed information have a look onto http://www.freebsd.org. There are a handbook and also a FAQ file with a lot of information.

Try using `chroot /mnt' after the above mount. It sort of works here. The /usr on my test machine is nfs-mounted and this is too much trouble to set up on the install disk, and running /etc/rc didn't work (mount doesn't work properly in chrooted environments), but there should be no problems running non-system applications in the chrooted environment. Running make in /sys doesn't do much. You need to edit the kernel config and run config on it and cd to the kernel compile directory and run make and `make install' there. > sd0s2a partition `a' (presumably bootable) of second > slice on third SCSI disk, slice has a BSD label >You don't mean first SCSI disk?

Another approach: boot the fixit disk mount and mount the final root partition on /mnt as above; then edit /kernel using a binary editor to change the variable `rootdev' to the device number for the final root device using a binary editor; then boot with -r from a floppy. >[I can compile Linux on non-Linux machines, like a SUN Sparc >with SunOS or an SGI with IRIX.

Second? There are, IIRC, three freware Unix clones: FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD... The split is lamentable but unavoidable (personal problems among developers, no monetary incentive to work together, other reasons;) the camps are still cooperating rather tightly and tracking each other. The curious fact that free unices have BSD in their names stems from the original Berkeley licensing terms which made this possible (you can find a copy of the license in every BSD source file; I can mail it to you if you don't have one handy.) Linux is not free. It is covered by the rather infamous GPL license which you can find almost everywhere (I can mail you a copy if you don't have one handy.) So it seems that I have already given you the answer you wanted: the BSD's and Linux differ in the philosophy of their respective developers; BSD developers want to create a product freely usable by everyone, for any purpose without strings attached--Linux fols are governed by the GNU Manifesto (all similarities with another Manifesto dating from 1848 seem to be intentional.) /Marino > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------ > Shai Almog ESI Expert Solutions International (Israel) > http://www.esi.co.il:8080/~almog/ > > From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 23 05:26:39 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id FAA10356 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 05:26:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: from itsdsv1.enc.edu (itsdsv1.enc.edu [199.93.252.241]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id FAA10351 for ; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 05:26:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dingo.enc.edu (dingo.enc.edu [199.93.252.229]) by itsdsv1.enc.edu (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id IAA16138; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 08:25:20 -0400 Date: Tue, 23 Jul 1996 08:34:31 -0400 (EDT) From: Charles Owens Reply-To: Charles Owens To: "Eric J.

Once FreeBSD has booted, I can access all areas of my 1GB drive. I left the Promise BIOS operational since my motherboard's BIOS does not support drives of this size.

I decided to try installing FreeBSD on my Syquest drive (sd2), just to see. And so I ran /stand/sysinstall from my running system on sd0. I guess what happened was that it newfs'd the syquest then couldn't mount because / was already mounted. It began installing over what was already there. I lost config files in /etc (sysconfig, hosts, passwd master.passwd, etc), but was able to recover most everything. That will teach me to do backups more often. Anyway, I'm guessing if I want to install on the syquest, I should do it from the boot disk? Is that right. That way, sd0 won't get messed with. Am I right? Oh, after restoring and rebooting, I needed passwords to be able to get logged in thru xdm.

I will use a SQL database to maintain the users. However, each user will be able to add/delete/modify their own data area dynamically, and the length of data per user vary greatly from 10K to 20M, averaging some 200K per user. My original design was one big file as central store for these dynamical data. The design is basically done with my own elaborate storage management and garbage collection. I believe this way is much faster and storage efficient than a pure SQL database implementation. Now my concern is one big file may cause many lock out problems when accessed by many users simultaneously. Also one humongous file will certainly cause backup problems. I am thinking about giving each user a separate file, which will result to 100K files of 10K to 20M size instead of one big 20G-sized file. Can anybody tell me which way is better? I have the following considerations so far: 1. Can Linux/FreeBSD support 100K files? 2. Will 100K files cause a lot of disk fragmentation? 3. If the user id = "12345", a. In case of one big file, I have a SQL database table, given user ID, it returns the address of the data in the big file, and with one seek I can access to its data in the big file. b. In case many individual files, I will assign his data file to "f12345.dat". with 100K files in place, will accessing to a certain file "f12345.dat" cause too slow a directory search to find its address? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

We have been running freebsd 2.0.5 on this machine. basicly that worked fine except for one problem, when external cache was inabled the system would crash in anything from 5 minutes to an hour. When external cache was disabled the machine was rock solid and would run until we brought it down manually. After doing some initail checking on the problem, I learned that this is normaly due to bad memory, motherboard, etc.. I called my vendor and bought another motherboard do that I could swap out each part until I found the guilty party. The new motherboard ended up having the exact same problems as the first one did. At this point, 2.1.5R came out, and in reading the blurb on it I noticed that it had a number of memory fixes in it so I decided to try that and see if it would fix my problem. I downloaded boot.flp and used dd to create an update disk, just as I had done for version 2.0.5 which had worked fine with all the same equipment. When I ran the program the machine booted up, did the normal probing of the system, but as it went to run sysinstall the screen scrolled up clearing the screen and then the cursor sat at the bottom left of the screen and nothing happened from there. I thought the problem might be with the pci svga card so I removed it and put in an isa svga card. that had the exact same results. I then took the disk to an OLD 386 machine that is a workstation here and booted up there to see if it was just a bad disk. It worked like a champ, the menu came up with no problems. I then took the vga card out of the workstation and put it in the new box knowing that it was compatible with the program, I got the same result, scroll up and cursor at the bottom. I even tried an old ttl mono card, which still got the same result. At this point I do not think it is the display card that is causing the problem. I went into the bios setup and disabled everything in site to see if that would help, to no avail. Here is a discription of the equipment involved: Spacewalker HOT-501 pentium PCI Motherboard INTEL 100 MHZ CPU INTEL i430FX PCIset chipset dated 94 AWARD BIOS v4.50PG dated 95 AWARD plug and play bios ext. v1.0A dated 95 Buslogic BT-946C scsi adaptor bios version 4.92C Seagate ST51080N 1G HD Seagate ST15150N 4G HD CL543X PCI VGA NE2000 clone If anyone has a clue as to why I can't even get the menu up let alone install 2.1.5, please let me know. I don't even have a clue as to what to try next.

Thanks for your replies. Ok, I had both: NW: bind ... ... net=14239 FBSD: ed0="ipx 0x14239" At first, It didn't work! I tried setting them different. Still didn't work! I tried using all 8 digits because: NW: Showed (In monitor) 00014239 FBSD: Showed (netstat -rnf ipx) 14239H I changed them both to 36714239 to use all 8 digits. I have completly stripped my NW! and partially stripped FBSD, Removed ed1 = inet ... ...

During all of this I found another problem thats why I completly stripped my NW, my previous (And hopefully again) autoexec.ncf file server name TCGUY-FS1 ipx internal net 6345403 # changed to _ii to play with FBSD-IPX on 07/08/96 @02:37 #load 386E-MCT slot 2 frame=ETHERNET_802.3 name=IPXNET load 386E-MCT slot 2 frame=ETHERNET_II name=IPXNET load 386E-MCT slot=2 frame=ETHERNET_II name=IPNET load STREAMS load CLIB load SNMP _ load TCPIP bind IPX to IPXNET net=14239 bind IP to IPNET addr=10.1.29.3 mask=FF.FF.FF.00 mount all load resolv DM tcguy.net TO 30 NS 10.1.29.4 load ftpd use sys:system/ftpd/ftpd.cfg load pserver TCGUY-PS1 #load monitor /p And it _seems_ the TWO ethernet_ii frame types on two different protocols can't be done. I don't use tcp/ip on the NW very often and it's probably been broke since I changed from ethernet_802.3 to _II about 2 or 3 weeks ago.. :( I do need it back! Is it possiable, Can two protocols share a frame type?? (I know, I need to ask that on a netware list/ng, I will, I'll figure out the tcp/ip on the NW later. Just thought I would throw it out here maybe someone here will know) My main concern now is to get IPXrouted working. Any other ideas??

The error message is "Written -1 of 512 bytes". The debug screen shows "unexpected eof invlaid gzip" or something. At first, I thought it was a corrupted file. I downloaded the files from TWO different sites. I've attempted at both release 2.1.0, and 2.1.5 I've used different floppies to install from. I've even tried installing it on two different machines. A 486DLC w/ WD850MB IDE and a 386DX w/ 2 114MB IDE disks. Each installation, on each computer crashes on bin.cl Also, both computers throw a warning that the computed sectors/cylinder does not match the disk label. On the 386DX this was a GROSS miscalculation, something like 4096 calculated compared to 255 as per the label. The drive geometry is 927 cylinders, 15 heads, and 17 sectors so 255 should be right, right? (Where is FreeBSD getting 4096?) I've also tried installing (on the 386DX) from a DOS partition. In this case each time, the system crashes on bin.ap with the same error. (When installed from floppy bin.ap works ok.) On the 386, I've dedicated all of both disks to FreeBSD, do not want another OS on the disks. So I let it try the 1/1/1 geometry and it still fails on the same file. Ugh...I must have the touch of death with FreeBSD. I can't get it to work on either of the two systems, right now. Please help (again)! Nate:SCHCATS!

I'll bet you can. I also have an ATAPI CD, and to install 2.0.5, I had to copy the files to a DOS partition in DOS, and then install from there. But now there is 2.1.5, and that boot floppy detected and identified my CD-ROM without any problems. (Now if only I had the 2.1.5 CD....) The 2.1.5 CD from Walnut Creek should be out soon. I would hold off for that. If you have the 2.1.0 CD, you may also be able to install from ATAPI, but chances are you'll need to move the CD to your primary IDE controller, with your first hard disk. (if it isn't already there.) Don't try to install from any CD with a different version of boot disk, unless you are sure you know what you are doing!

Linsux wouldn't even boot on my machine, but FreeBSD runs fine. By any chance, would your processor be an AMD? (mine is) I think the standard reply to your question will be: Use a new floppy, re-FTP the boot.flp file using BINARY transfer, DON'T run rawrite.exe from Win95 or DOS7 when you make the boot floppy, and if it hangs, wait a while longer. As for the possibility of your SCSI causing the problem, I'll let a hacker answer that.

I just got bitten by this one... Here's my fdisk configuration: The data for partition 0 is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 42336, size 159264 (77 Meg), flag 80 beg: cyl 21/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 99/ sector 63/ head 31 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 131,(Linux filesystem) start 201600, size 1225728 (598 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 100/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 707/ sector 63/ head 31 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 42273 (20 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 20/ sector 63/ head 31 I had just added partition 3; it used to be a dos partition on which I stored the files so I could install FreeBSD on the first partition. Now I wanted to change it into a swap parition for FreeBSD. Since fdisk reported it as `partition 3,' naturally I erm, assumed, that cooresponded to the `3rd slice,' or `/dev/wd0s3,' so I ran disklabel on that, set up the partition and all, etc. However: slice numbers start at ONE, not ZERO like the fdisk partition numbers would lead you to believe. So now I've overwritten the first twenty megs of my Linux filesystem because of a mixup between the two numbers. Is there any way that fdisk could be fixed so that it would report the partition numbers starting at one, not zero, so they would more easily correspond with the slice numbers in the device names in /dev? Also, is there a document out there somewhere or anyone planning to do one on how to do this sort of thing (i.e. adding disks or partitions to your FreeBSD system?) If not, I'd volunteer to do one, since I think it's badly needed.

It'll be much faster than looking up each file in one directory. Look at any decent http proxy-cache for examples of how such a hash scheme would work.

The problem I have encountered is that even if I chose PPP (com 2), it will still use /dev/cuaa0 (have to manually set device and all). Plus, (I don't know if this is only happened to my 28.8 Hayes Accura V.34+FAX) after selected PPP and manually set device to /dev/cuaa1, 'term' won't talk to the modem (can't type anything) that I have to turn off the modem and rerun the setup up to the point before the 'term' and then turn on the modem. Finally I have a suggestion that it would be nice that the installation boot disk has the option to select everything INCLUDING application packages all at once and then we could let it run overnite to download everything, so that the next day it is ready to go.

Oh yeah, the Western Digital is IDE and the Seagate is > SCSI...that probably ruins my chances right there, doesn't it? Well, the situation is obviously less than ideal. To be honest, I've never tried the striping driver on an IDE drive, but it *should* work. The ccd driver uses FreeBSD disk components (files) to do the striping. In other words, you don't stripe a disk, you stripe a slice on a disk. As for the desparate disk sizes, the default CCD behaviour is to stripe the components equally until the smallest disk is full and then continue using the remaining disks. In your case, this means that CCD would stripe the first GB and then write sequentially to the larger disk. If you specify the CCDF_UNIFORM flag, then CCD will report the disk full as soon as the smallest component is full. You can probably get around this by partitioning the SCSI disk and then specifying two 1GB SCSI partitions to be sliced. This means that twice as many disk operations will go to the 'cuda as to the IDE disk, but the Seagate is a fast disk, so this may be acceptable given the circumstances. I think the best suggestion may be to back your system up and then play with it and see what you can make it do. I'll be happy to help as I'm able. -Matt From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 23 17:14:30 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA26148 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 17:14:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from relay-2.mail.demon.net (disperse.demon.co.uk [158.152.1.77]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA26143 for ; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 17:14:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from post.demon.co.uk ([158.152.1.72]) by relay-2.mail.demon.net id aa05983; 24 Jul 96 1:14 +0100 Received: from jraynard.demon.co.uk ([158.152.42.77]) by relay-3.mail.demon.net id aa24960; 24 Jul 96 1:13 +0100 Received: (from fqueries@localhost) by jraynard.demon.co.uk (8.7.5/8.6.12) id UAA18710; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 20:14:35 GMT From: James Raynard Message-Id: <199607232014.UAA18710@jraynard.demon.co.uk> Subject: Re: Internet Server?

If not, then copy the relevant files onto a DOS partition, install off that and then (if desired) convert it to a FreeBSD data partition. Hmm. I've just noticed that you want to install 2.1.0. I'd try and go for 2.1.5 if possible, as the IDE CDROM support moved on a bit between the two.

Sounds like you've experienced something that everybody stumbles upon at first: '.' is left out of the root path to help protect against trojan horses and what not. The best way to execute a program in the current directory when logged in as root is './sysinstall'. Hope that helps! - Justin J.

You can also do a standard ftp install through the boot floppy (which IMHO would be a better way to go rather than waiting for the tree to build). Just back up /etc before starting. Besides that, the example supfile shouldn't be used stock; you should modify it for the distributions you want and for a close supsite (don't use sup.freebsd.org if you can help it, it's _very_ loaded!). > It looks like there is also an Upgrade item in /sysinstall but it > requires being booted from a floppy.

Root's Xsession is completing and logging out. This is either caused by a .xsession file that doesn't block or a fatal error in either root's .xsession or the global Xsession file. Check root's .xsession-errors for a hint on how to procede. Keep in mind that an xdm session terminates when the user's .xsession exits (or the global one terminates in the case of a user with no xsession). The .xsession file is a standard sh script and so is terminated by the same errors. Check root's .xsession-errors and see if there's something wrong there that needs to be corrected. If there's not, I'd look for a null .xsession for root, or a problem in the global one. -Matt From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 23 21:54:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA14613 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 21:54:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from frig.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp (frig.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp [131.113.32.7]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA14608; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 21:54:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from hosokawa@localhost) by frig.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp (8.6.12+2.4W/3.4Wbeta3) id NAA29597; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 13:54:11 +0900 Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 13:54:11 +0900 Message-Id: <199607240454.NAA29597@frig.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp> To: rickt@psa.pencom.com Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org, hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp Subject: Re: PCMCIA support in 2.1.5-RELEASE?

You haven't finished the repair: 1. Reboot to single user mode. 2. Run fsck TWICE. All lost stuff should reappear in lost+found after this is complete. 3. Copy stuff back and reboot.

I was wondering what the upper limit of >fbsd's memory capacity is, I'm thinking of moving a 64 meg ram >machine to 128 megs (simms are sooo cheap these days!). You'll need 1/2 GB of RAM and a few kernel patches to handle 1200 users. The kernel patches are needed because the kernel virtual address space needed to handle about 2000 TCP connections is quite large and requires that the kernel virtual start address be moved down in memory. Anyone who is (really) serious about setting up such a machine should send me email and I'll help set it up. Wimpy 300 user machines require no special kernel hacks. :-) I'm also using a special version of wu-ftpd on wcarchive that's been significantly hacked on by me. It runs as a daemon (reducing startup overhead), has a lower memory requirements, and has higher performance. I have no plans on contributing this code for general use (I don't want to be personally responsible for it's wide-spread use), but I have given it out to select people who are serious about running a large FTP server (see above). -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 23 22:17:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA15828 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 22:17:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts17-line7.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.224]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA15822 for ; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 22:17:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id WAA00349; Tue, 23 Jul 1996 22:17:17 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 23 Jul 1996 22:17:17 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: "David G.

Try shifting the drive between the IDE channels, and master/slave positions. It is possible it's not supported. Some IDE CDROMs refuse to work, and the Gateway2000 may be a repackaged one of these.

OK so far. First, you'll need to make space for FreeBSD by either reinstalling Win95 with a smaller slice size or use the FIPS utility to split the Win95 slice. In any case, you'll need unallocated space to put the FreeBSD slice into (it uses a completely different file system than Win95 does). FIPS is available from the ftp site or CDROM in tools. If you elect to reinstall, then install Win95 first. Win95 will kill the boot sector, and you will want to install the boot manager so you can boot between FreeBSD and Win95, so installing Win95 last will hose the boot manager. Then install FreeBSD in the remaining space.

Did you try the recommended solution for fixing this problem, which is to disable ALL sio ports? The ATI problem has been fixed in the 2.1.5-R kernel by not including sio2 and sio3 by default, but some cards still react to being probed. Other than that...??? A bad floppy image perhaps? have you tried using the arrow keys?

Change the jumper settings on the card so all ports have different IRQs. Then configure the kernel as appropriate.

Yes, I believe so. As far as the system is concerned, you have hware mem + swap memory at all times. Which is what you care about anyway :-) FreeBSD will suck up any unused hardware memory and use it as disk cache, so that number is quite irrelevant. > Also, I have a process running called adjkerntz.

This is probably a wrong path or something on your part; it dies & hangs up when the user is logged off because of a problem with the login shell scripts. Check .login and slip configs and try again.

I'm stuck at home right now with a z39 terminal. I'm having trouble logging into my FreeBSD box sitting in my office. I dial up to the terminal server, specify my machine. I get the login prompt, but then no matter what I type, nothing happens. I think what's happening is that login is setting the terminal to 8 bits but the z39 is only 7bit. Is there anyway I can allow a pty to be set to 7 bits? I know that I shouldn't have a getty specification for any of the pty's, so I was wondering if I could specify a specific pty for telnetd to launch (ugh, yet another entry in /etc/services 8), and then have an entry for that specific pty in /etc/gettytab.

Walnut Creek CD Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk That must be something very simple, but I don't seem to be able to figure it out :( I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 on a 486 machine with 16M RAM, 154x SCSI card and 1G drive (2.0 was running just fine on the same machine) and here is the problem: The installation goes very smoothly without any error messages, however when at the end I exit from the installation utility the machine cannot load from the HD at all. I looked into the partition table on the HD and was surprised to see that at the location pointed to by the 'Active Partition' record I could find nothing but 'F6'es. I think I tried everything I can think of, however the results were always the same. At the end I even decided to let the installation utility partition and label the HD but that did not change anything. Then I thought that it might be a problem with the machine so I moved the HD to another PC and tried again - same result. The only thing I did not try was changing the HD (Quantum Fireball) but unfortunately this is the only disk I can play with at this point. What am I missing? Please help! Thanks!

Or at least let's make a new list for that! Obvious flame baits and/or stupid questions are regularily posted to this list, and just about every time people feel like giving equally stupid and biased replies (sometimes not even technically accurate, sometimes badly outdated). I don't give a $%#@#% about which O/S is the best. I really feel that no simple answer can be given. It really depends too much on what people expect from their O/S, what their hardware/software compatibility, reliability, ease of install etc. requirements are, and of course nobody clearly states that when asking which is the best. Please, please, at least reply privately to such messages, or let's have a new list for those who can't resist making the whole world know that every sensible person ought to be convinced that their O/S is better than the other.

I have done some followup research, mostly reading old mailing list stuff. It seems from what I can gather that much of the libg++ package is not included in 2.1.0 because of compilation problems. If this is true then a) Is there any release that does include it all b) If not, is there any know way to get it working on a 2.1.0 system? Note that what I am looking for specifically are the classes in the gen/ subdirectory and the genclasss utility.

And system panic every 40 min - 2 hours. With 2.1.0 I haven't any problems (server reboot every 2-3 weeks). Hardware: P5-133, 128 Ram EDO 60ns, AHA-2940UW, 2x4 Gb SCSI-2 Seagate and 1 Gb Ide, SCSI tape Wangtek 9500DC. Last hours the server operated whith DRAM speed in BIOS setup 70 ns - no effect. At this moment I can' turn savecore ON, I have 3 swap 65 Mb partitions. Any suggestions ? May I upgrade 2.1.5 -> 2.1.0 back ? And small problem - my console was set unsecure and I can't loggin at single mode startup - login incorrect:( When system started in multuuser mode - no problems. On 2.1.0 I haven't this problem. Now I turn console to secure. And very small problem - I (and my mirror) can't connect to ftp.cdrom.com. I got login, enter ftp and after 300 sec got connection timeout. This problem about 10-12 hours. I try from crocus.gamma.ru and charibda.sovam.com.

Two questions stem from that, though: 1) is there any reason that just plain old joe user should avoid '.' in his path? (I don't see any, but just to make sure.) 2) if '.' appears as the very last entry in root's path is this still considered a security risk? I'm not so lazy that I'm not willing to type './command' as root--- just really curious about this type of stuff! I know these aren't actually FreeBSD specific questions, but I hope they will prove to be of interest to some other novice sysadmins out there as well! Thanks...

Because a nasty user could ask you to look into a "problem" he is having... you would conceivably cd into his $HOME (which is where the problem is) and maybe do something like "ls" to list the contents of the directory. Of course, the user may have created his own bogus "ls" that you will end up executing *instead* of /bin/ls (assuming the "." is in your path ahead of "/bin"). That bogus "ls" will now execute with *your* (e.g., *root's*) permissions and probably give the user root priviledge in the future...

This is somewhat comparable to backing up our Novell network with the same unit (DOS: Arcada BackupExec). The surprise came yesterday when one of the designers needed to retrieve some files off one of the dump (level 0) tapes. The dumps are stacked on the tape, so we use rsh dumphost mt fsf 4 (TAPE envar set to /dev/nrst0/) on the Sparc to get to the right "volume". Pretty quick, no big deal. We then tried the interactive mode on the Sparc: restore -ivf dumphost:/dev/nrst0 and the bloody thing ran for two hours without comment; a separate dump listing (restore tvf /dev/nrst0 > extdisk2.dmp.log) ran almost 6MB on 'gnome', and took less than a minute to generate. So we tried restore -xvf dumphost:/dev/nrst0 which is a jawbreaker of a path (see below). After about 45 minutes it extracted all the directory branches, but no files, then said You have not read any volumes. Enter next volume#: To which I answered "1", as it all made it onto 1 tape. Prior to answering this question I verified that there were in fact no files in the directory structure. After about an hour it extracted 1 file. It ran all night; about 14 hours later it had extracted 1437 out of 1444 files, determined by grep 14059.fld extdisk2.dmp.log | grep -c leaf on 'gnome' (and messages on 'ishm2' compared to the above command without -c and a quick screen count). To my greater surprise, the files I thought still hadn't restored to 'ishm2' *were there* when I brought up a shell. The base directory was verified missing before any of the restore activity took place, so the files had to have come from the restore session (or alien lifeforms are involved 8). Clearly I'm an idiot; what am I doing wrong with the restore that it should take many times longer to read a tape than it does to write it? waiting for enlightenent, larry ps. you have to admit, most of my questions aren't run-of-the-mill... pps. the directory name: ./cdxdata/unws/BACKZ1UPZ5TOZ4DEL.cab/14059.fld From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 24 07:17:01 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA21290 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 07:17:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.EUnet.hu (mail.eunet.hu [193.225.28.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA21283 for ; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 07:16:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mail.EUnet.hu, id QAA04807; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 16:16:36 +0200 Received: by CoDe.CoDe.hu (QAA01253); Wed, 24 Jul 1996 16:01:48 GMT From: Gabor Zahemszky Message-Id: <199607241601.QAA01253@CoDe.CoDe.hu> Subject: Re: Compressed kernels To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 16:01:48 +0000 (GMT) Cc: mcgovern@spoon.beta.com In-Reply-To: <199607240018.UAA28333@spoon.beta.com> from "Brian J.

"umount /mnt2" fails with "Device busy" because the umount binary itself is read from the floppy. The system chroot (/usr/sbin/chroot) cannot be used because it requires /usr/libexec/ld.so, which is found only after the chroot. The floppy chroot cannot be used either, because after the "chroot" the floppy cannot be unmounted anymore.

Sounds reasonable. I imagine, though, that the optimizations will be different than for some other chips! (The DLC is known to execute complex instructions faster than the newer RISC-like Intel chips, which like simple load, store, and register-to-register operations.) Will the compiler handle this automatically?

I'm sure someone else will mention the security problems involved, but... You'll find, if you're new to UNIX, that it's just not like DOS in that 99% of the time when you are running a command it is not in the current directory. In DOS, one might do something like cd \spread\lotus lotus But in UNIX the executable programs are typically all kept in their own directory with nothing but executables (ex. /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin -- the bin in each of these probably stands for "binaries"). If lotus were a UNIX program, you would probably find lotus.exe in /usr/local/bin and the rest of the files used by lotus elsewhere. It's just not necessary to have `.' in your path most of the time. To prove that this can be a security concern, let me relate something that happened to someone using DOS. They were given a zip file and asked to have a look at it (for a good and sensable reason). They moved the zip into a directory and pkunzipped it. Inside of the zip were more zip files. The person then unzipped these files. Suddenly he was infected with a virus. What happened is that inside the first zipfile was a false copy of pkunzip which deactivated all the virus checkers, then called the real pkunzip, and then ran a virus that was contained inside one of the secondary zips. Had DOS not run the pkunzip that was in the current directory, the real pkunzip would have been run, the virus checkers not disabled, and the virus caught. As it was, he lost several months of work due to the virusses. (which brings us to rule #2: backup, but that's another story :). -- -- tIM...HOEk Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? NEVER!

The only risk I can think of with "." at the end of the path is where a particularly devious attacker creates trojan horse "typos" and tries to catch you out. For example "lss" for ls(1) or some such. Or I suppose one could snoop through the administrator's "regular" account dot files to find his favorite aliases and shell functions, make trojan horse executables of the same name, then deliberately create a situation that would tempt the admin to use them. If like many people he (wisely) did not use aliases or shell functions as root, you might be able to catch him using one of them them out of habit. Neither of those seems very effective though, and they would be really easy to spot. Is there a sneakier scheme I'm not thinking of? In any case, I usually keep "." out of root's path and out of the system-wide defaults. But if a particular user wants to put "." at the end of the path, I really don't think it's a problem. In fact one could argue that it's better to put "." at the end of the default path for users, so that they don't add it themselves and put it at the beginning out of ignorance. -- Dave McNab From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 24 10:08:53 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA01227 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 10:08:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA01222 for ; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 10:08:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from garion.hq.ferg.com (pm1-12.wmbg.widomaker.com [204.17.220.112]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id KAA03562 for ; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 10:08:48 -0700 Received: from localhost.hq.ferg.com (localhost.hq.ferg.com [127.0.0.1]) by garion.hq.ferg.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id KAA29896; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 10:15:38 -0400 Message-Id: <199607241415.KAA29896@garion.hq.ferg.com> X-Authentication-Warning: garion.hq.ferg.com: Host localhost.hq.ferg.com didn't use HELO protocol From: Branson Matheson To: Red Barchetta cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-reply-to: Your message of "Wed, 24 Jul 1996 08:54:01 EDT." <199607241254.IAA08136@pegasus.rutgers.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 10:15:38 -0400 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk -------- Red Barchetta uttered with conviction: > > 1) is there any reason that just plain old jo e user should avoid > '.' in his path?

Generally, and I will probably get blasted for this, I generally setup new users .cshrc with '.' as the last thing in the path: /ump/hq/home/branson/bin/FreeBSD2.1.0-RELEASE /ump/hq/home/branson/bin/scripts /usr/bin /bin /usr/local/bin /letc/bin /usr/games /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/X11R6/bin /etc /usr/etc . > > 2) if '.' appears as the very last entry in root's path is this > still considered a security risk?

You may or may not notice... once the deed is done and he/she erases the file that did it, you will never know for sure. Also think how many times you cd into /tmp to look at a file.... and execute ls as soon as you get in there ;-) It is generally a good rule of thumb to NOT have '.' in roots path and only system directories in roots path ( /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin ). > > I know these aren't actually FreeBSD specific questions, but I hope > they will prove to be of interest to some other novice sys admins > out there as well! You might look at _Unix_System_Security_ by David Curry.. on pp35 and 36 there is a nice discourse on how and why to protect root.

User A says that he cannot read a file in his home area... you cd to his home area and type 'ls'. you note that the permissions on the file were 111 and send him mail saying he needs to change his permissions. You then go about your business thinking every thing is ok... but what really happened is that the user had created an executable in his home directory called 'ls' and since '.' was in your path before /bin, you executed the local one. And the local one copyied /bin/sh to ~A/.tmp and made it setuid, and then erased the offending copy in the local directory and then executed the _real_ ls with the flags you specified. Now the user has root access. Suprise.

I have read the installation guide on 'ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/INSTALL.TXT' and other documentation in the same directory along with the FAQ. I did not find any thing for the true beginners. What is really the FIRST STEP?. Do we need to download the entire '2.1.0-RELEASE' directory? If so, what do we do next? The installation guide talked about a boot floppy but did not mention how to make one. In section 2.3 ('Before installing from a DOS partition') the author again mentioned CD ROM. Do we have to have the CD? In section 2.5.2 (Preparing for FTP installation) the installation guide is missing the every important step i.e How to trigger the installation procedure? Could you please help me out here? Any documentation on the Web? Thanks in advance.

Should I just unsubscribe for the duration, Depends on how long you'll be gone, what provisions you have to receive mail while away (i.e. can you just let it accumulate in your mailbox?), whether you want to *read* what has transpired while you were away, etc. You could let it accumulate in your mailbox. You could unsubscribe before leaving (please use the right address and don't post your unsubscribe directly to the *list*! :>). You could set up a .forward to pass the stuff along to you (if you'll be at a different email address). You could set up a .forward to archive the mail to a specific file (if your mailbox is on a small partition or has other rules governing it's size, etc.) > or is there some magical vacation mode?

The box has one IDE disk containing win95, and one scsi disk for FreeBSD. Installation proceeded OK (I take it AHA-1510A is supported even though I dont see it listed on the CDROM cover?), but it will not boot from the SCSI disk. I have installed Booteasy but it never lists the 2nd (scsi!) disk on bootup. I have tried booting from the floppy, and then entering sd(0,a)/kernel but it complains about the disk label. I think the problem is that tha AHA-1510A does not support booting from its devices. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case, I guess I can do something ilke: 1. Use fips to shrink the win95 partition ( does fips work OK with win95?) 2. Stick the FreeBSD root partition on the IDE disk after win95. This should work, right?

While watching `top' run, I have not been able to catch the system using any swap space at all. In fact, I have seen the Memory Free field go down to as low as 114K, with no swap usage. (top reports: "Swap: 262M Total, 262M Free", and swapinfo, pstat -s, etc., report the same thing.) What makes me worry more about this is that at those times, my httpd server, apache 1.1.1, is unable to spawn child processes for cgi scripts, and writes errors to its log file, as well as giving server error messages to my users. No errors are written to /var/log/messages, however. This memory problem then quick corrects itself, because apache stops running scripts, and the memory free climbs back up to several meg. I am not convinced that the apache problem with spawning child processes is related to the behavior I'm seeing with swap, but it does seem likely. Has anyone seen similar problems with swap?

Now that I spent four more hours to get to this point, let me detail the problems. Maybe they can be corrected in some way. Or perhaps they have been corrected already? Andries > Problem: I have a FreeBSD system on my fifth disk, but my BIOS knows only about disks 0 and 1. How do I boot FreeBSD? Remark: I do not think the FreeBSD Boot Managers do this, since they use the BIOS. But I have not looked at them since I already use OS/2 Boot Manager and LILO. Solution: Boot Linux, move partitions a little bit on disk 0 or 1, so that there is enough room for one tiny additional partition, and create it with type a5. 2MB should suffice - mine ended up being about 4MB. Make sure that this partition is primary: the FreeBSD boot code doesn't understand extended partitions. Boot the Install floppy, go to Custom Install, select the menu item that starts the Disklabel Editor, and make a filesystem on this small partition. It called the partition wd0s4e (0 for the disk number, 4 for the primary partition number). [I have been told that bootable partitions should be called e.g., wd0s4a with final a, but have not been able to convince the installation procedure to do so, and have not yet discovered docs or source for the Disklabel Editor.] Boot FreeBSD, using a boot floppy, and go to /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot. Of course the user-compiled kernel knows already what the root device should be, but the boot loader overrides this. Insert a line loadflags |= RS_DFLTROOT; before the call to getbootdev() in boot.c to make sure the compiled-in root device is used. In sys.c:find() the boot code divides by 0, causing a loop of reboots, and one way of preventing that is to replace the lines /* This little trick is for OnTrack DiskManager disks */ boff = dl->d_partitions[part].p_offset - dl->d_partitions[2].p_offset + sector; in disk.c by boff = sector; Then "make; make install; disklabel -B /dev/wd0s4" "mkdir /kern; mount /dev/wd0s4 /kern; cp kernel /kern" and you are set: both OS/2 BM and LILO are willing to boot this FreeBSD system, and no boot floppies are required anymore. Discussion: The above patches work entirely satisfactorily, but the real problem is that this Disklabel Editor did not write anything in partition[0], while the disk.c code assumes that there would be something. Moreover, the variable `part' is never set. (That is a bad bug, but is not seen when the partition that is booted is the `a' partition.) The bootstrap code could be much more robust.

I believe that's correct. The only FreeBSD-specific book (that's decently current) in existence is "Installing and Running FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey. This is usually because 1) FreeBSD follows 4.4BSD pretty closely and 2) the Handbook, FAQ, and this list usually cover the area in between. > One other book that has been frequently recommended to me is "UNIX System > Administration Handbook" by Evi Nemeth, et.al. 2nd edition. (NOT 1st). Quite so. Very good book. 'TCP/IP Network Administration' is also good for budding net admins. There is a booklist on www.freebsd.org under Documents with isbn's.

If you use the 2.1.5-RELEASE boot4.flp floppy it should work OK.

The upgrade procedure I used was to backup /etc, download the boot floppy, boot with it, select the 'upgrade' option, mount all the filesystems with no newfs, select a local machine for an ftp install, modify/recopy /etc files as needed. You can try the sup-stable / make world approach but that is much more painful than just upgrading to the -RELEASE, unless you're familiar with that system. If you are on a 2.2-SNAP or -current I wouldn't do this though.

Reading through **ALL** the supplied documentation, I eventually found the small print from Jordan, warning people of incompatibility problems and panic's if trying to mount 2.0 partitions. This tied in with people advising me that the partitions looked ok, however, the 'd' partition was gone in 2.1, and I could probably get away with hand-editing the disktab info, and write it back. In the end I decided to settle for safety. Last weekend I removed all other hard drives except the SCSI drive, turned off LBA, cleaned out an IDE drive completely, made two partitions (one MSDOS, one BSD), re- installed my 5.25" floppy drive (my 3.5" boot floppy image on the FreeBSD 2.0 CDROM was corrupted), created 5.25" boot floppies, installed a minimum FreeeBSD 2.0 from the two floppies, booted it, manually mounted the DOS partition, and then the SCSI partitions. That done, I tar'ed the relevant directories without compression (no compression available without installing yet more software) to the DOS partition. Then I re-built the machine back up again, copied the data over to several other partitions, verified it in many ways, and only then did I drop the SCSI partitions. I've now got a fully working FreeBSD 2.1 system. The installation of that was the smaller job in the end. FreeBSD is still not happy about booting from a SCSI disk, but I've just created the root partition on an IDE disk, and manage that way. The tcp also seems very slow on interactive work with lots of little packets, as if it is ignoring the setsockopt(,,TCP_NODELAY) call I make. However, the system is tight, compact, sturdy, and very responsive in every other way. A tape drive is now on my 'must have' list. I wonder why...? Lars G.

Anyone know of a good imapge manipulation software for FreeBSD 2.1? I fetched gimp. It compiles brilliantly but I guess it is still in a BETA phase so it crashed far to often to be usefull. I am particularly interested in functions such as reading in a bunch of files, resizing them and saving them - all in batch. So the program would have to allow non-interactive use.

(Note: I do not intend to start a Linux - FreeBSD discussion with the above!!)

Ghostscript is available as a package on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.1/printing/ghostscript-3.51.tgz Have a look at the printcap(5) man page paying special attention to the "of" option when describing the printer.

I'd take a close look at "convert" from the ImageMagick pagkage, from your favourite ftp server or ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-3.6.1.tar.gz (the version # might have changed). I compiled it on 2.1-stable nearly OOTB. You'll have to fetch the latest JPEG library too, from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg or any other source (should be called something like jpegv5b.tar.gz). If you have any problem building those, mail me. _Alain_ -- Alain FAUCONNET Ingenieur systeme - System Manager AP-HP/SIM Public Health 91 bld de l'Hopital 75013 PARIS FRANCE Medical Computing Research Labs Mail: af@biomath.jussieu.fr Tel: (+33) 1-40-77-96-19 Fax: (+33) 1-45-86-80-68 I've RTFMed.

First I just upgraped to FreeBSD 2.1.5 and I noticed that the X server isn't configured for Open windows which I love. Do you think there's something better? And when I run olvwm and try the menu via the right mouse button Openwindows quits. How do I fix this. If there is a phone number I can dial to talk to someone personally that would be great. By the way when I used to run Linux Openwindows was already configured and all I had to do was run 'openwin' to make everything work. FreeBSD seems to be lacking it. Also when that program is run aa program called XView seemed to pop up on the screen before Openwindows was run. What's XView. Just to let you know I will and have installed everythin via FTP not CDROM. What Windows Manager do other people use for a Web server. Also I'd like to know what ALL is needed to become my own web server. (ie. Phone line etc) and how to get this stuff. If you have pricing that would be perfect. Thanks for any help. And I hope you can help me become a Web server. -- Andrew T.

I get this error fairly offten from commands typed at the keyboard to cron scripts failing with 'can't fork' errors. The machine is running 2.1.0-RELEASE and inn1.4u4. (64MB of RAM, 128MB swap, system uses about 10% of swap accoring to 'top') Inn seems to work fine as rc.news is run by bash and it has a bunch if limit statements at the start but why does the system fall-over when trying to run simple cron jobs or even things from the keyboard like ps -gax | grep innxmit The kernel is compiled with maxusers set to 64. This ought to give it more processes that you can shake a stick at, or is there soemthing subtler going on like the process counter counting all processes for that particular user, even processes belonging to a different tty group? (eg. inn uses more that 40 processes as uid 'news' then I come allong & login as news to do some admin work and the default being 40 per user, it counts all the existing processes... ???

I started off by having the seagate HD as a slave to the IBM on the first controller and the cd-rom as slave on the second. I booted up with the ATAPI floppy boot disk. The subsequent probing got almost everything right. It saw the second IDE channel at io_address 0x170 at irg 15 but it did not see the cd.rom. The installation procceeded but I was not able to access the cd-rom. I then switched configuration by placing the seagate HD as master on the second eide controller and the cd-rom as the slave. I booted from the Atapi floppy and this time the probing saw the seagate HD on the second controller and the cd-rom, reporting correctly that it was an Acer CD-767E. I managed to install FreeBSD (I used the novice installation in all cases and I chose the developer w/ kernel souces option). Having completed the installation I rebooted only to find that the FreeBSD boot sequence would go through all the probing (not seeing the cd-rom as expected) and then give me a panic string which was 'unable to mount route'. It would then sync the disks and start an automatic reboot (the message 'Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on console to abort' was given). I did try pressing a key but the sistem just rebooted. I then tried install various levels of FreeBSD (user, developer user w/ X free...etc) but with the same results. I then tried, with the same HD configuration, installing the SW from a dos partion, but that didn't improve my results. Finally I switched to my original configuration (Seagate as slave to the IBM HD on the first eide controller and cd-rom as slave on the second) and installed from a dos partion (on th IBM HD). This was successful to the extent that I was able to install the selection : kernel developer w/ X windows. I finally had a version that I could use and configure at will. Infact that is exaclty what I did. I re-complied the kernel in order to include the cd-rom and the ps/2 style mouse. Rebooting the sistem introduced me the usual probing of the sistem. The second eide controller is seen but not the cd-rom which remains a slave on that controller. I have also tried eliminating in the kernel file used for compiling the serch for the third and fourth HD on the second eide controller, but that did not change anything. I've also noticed that there is no evidence in the probing part of the boot-up of the ps/2 mouse. I also tried invoking 'startx' for X windows but I get the following message 'command not found'. I tried '/usr/X11R6/bin/startx', but I get xinit not found. It obviously seems to be a path problem but I haven't been able to find a file in which to include the directory. I tried the file /etc/rc but that didn't give me any results. Can you give me some help on these matters. Further more how can I configure a keyboard map file so that I can use my keyboard (ID141 it iso) and the the US mapping ?

Try: options "CHILD_MAX=256" #max processes per user (soft limit) in your kernel configuration file.

Use the atapi.flp image for your boot disk. Reinstall, This time while in the Disk editor sections don't (W)rite anything!! I'll repeate, Don't (W)rite anything!

I'm gonna build me a kernel, and one of the devices I have to deal with is a 7-tray CD ROM changer attached to the SCSI host adaptor (a 1742A). I have the bus controller device defined (ahb0? Can't remember now), and I was planning a set of hard-wired SCSI device addresses for the SCSI system disks and this changer. I noticed that under 2.1 I could also specify multi-LUN devices at one address, so I thought I'd take advantage of the features of this changer. The changer has a LUN for each disk tray. If you issue a SCSI command to a specific LUN at the device address, then the changer automatically loads for reading the correct disk in the tray associated with the LUN. Depending on the SCSI command issued, it also may spin up the disk to give a "ready" status. So, first question: should I specify 7 devices (cd0-6) at one address in the kernel def file, then kernel build and MAKEDEV the appropriate device entries? I have the feeling that this will cause (at boot time) the kernel to probe the individual LUNs, resulting in the drive going through each tray one at a time (with a total delay of some 30 secs as each one of the 7 disks spin up). This ain't such a big deal, but here's the next Q: Should I be setting SCSI_DELAY to be greater than the total spinup time, the individual disk spinup time, or use my head and suck-it-and-see (*many* kernel rebuilds unless there's a kernel variable patch method I don't know about yet)? I am assuming here that SCSI_DELAY is a compile option rather than a variable assignment. Let's assume I now have 7 valid devices (/dev/cd0-6) and the system has come up OK without arguing. I now add automount statements to /etc/fstab for all 7 devices (as -ro, CD9660) to ensure I can access them quickly as needed. Next Q: Can I now just issue a forced "mount all" without problems? The scenario I imagine is that the kernel will then go through the devices one at a time (as the mounts are performed), and assuming they mount successfully as CD9660's, will be happy. I should observe the changer again goes through each tray as each disk is mounted. This would mean that each disk is "ghost" mounted (the logical device is mounted on the FS mount point even if the physical disk is not currently loaded in the read position) and each time a device is accessed (for a read, say), the changer will load the appropriate disk in response to a SCSI command for that LUN. (Note, I can see a problem here if I tried to do something as obviously dumb as trying to copy something between two -ro /dev/cdx devices, but no-one's gonna be that dumb, right? ;^) Last Q: since a disk takes 2-3 seconds to be loaded into read position and then be spun up (in response to a read, say), will there be a timeout as a result of the kernel thinking the disk isn't ready? If so, what do I have to twiddle to allow for this the first time a disk is loaded? If anyone has opinions (everyone has opinions ;) or advice/experience at this sorta stuff, I'd be glad to hear it!

After some unexpected problems during configuration of the 3Com 3C589C PCMCIA card, I finally got it working on an Olivetti Echos P133S notebook. I experienced two problems: 1. When I configured the PCMCIA card under dos with the 3Com config. utility (without dos card-services loaded), I ended up with the following: I/O Base address: 300h, irq: 10, CIS Memory Base Address: dc00h, Transreceiver Type: BNC. I saved this configuration and ran the diagnostics, which gave PASSED on every test. I have the following line in the kernel config file: "device zp0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xdc000 vector zpintr" After kernel rebuild and boot, the system still would not recognize the card, "zp0 not found at 0x300". When I then rebooted and entered dos and 3Com config utility, I found that the CIS memory address had changed to de00h. I proceeded then to save the config anew, then it was back to dc00h (As far as I know, you can't set the memory address yourself). I booted FreeBSD---to no avail. Back in 3Com Conf. utility I just saved the configuration with addr. de00h, tested and rebooted to FreeBSD, under the theory that I would build a new kernel with addr. de00h. Suprise, suprise, FreeBSD recogniced the card at 0xdc000 :-() I tested some more and it seems that you have to say de00h when you mean dc00h! It seems that each time you enter the config. utility you flip the address. 2. Another problem seems to be that FreeBSD does not recognice BNC connected cards, it defaults to twisted pair. By adding "-link0" at the and of the ifconfig statement in /etc/sysconfig everything works OK. I'm not sure that this parameter is related to selecting transreceiver type, but it fixed my problem :-) The man pages are a little obscure on this... I may load the src, and have a look there later on though... Comments anyone?

When I enter `mount_mfs /dev/sd0b /mnt`, the command just exits. No coredump, no error message, no change in filesystems. I noticed that the mountpoint isn't even checked, for example `mount_mfs /dev/sd0b /nonexistend` results in the same behaiviour. Maybe I overlooked something?

A couple of lines later, b_size is set to dl->d_partitions[part].p_size. This should be 0 because you used the `e' partition and didn't override the default value of 0 for `part'. A partition of size 0 shouldn't be bootable; however there is no check for this; in fact b_size is only used in the rarely-used BAD144 case. >Discussion: > The above patches work entirely satisfactorily, > but the real problem is that this Disklabel Editor > did not write anything in partition[0], while the > disk.c code assumes that there would be something. It has to write something there since all of the partition entries have to be written together. It probably writes 0. > Moreover, the variable `part' is never set. No, it is statically initialized to 0. This matches the default partition name `a'. > The bootstrap code could be much more robust. Yes.

This persists whether the mode is interactive or not. My statement about "all but 7" was based on the flimsiest of conclusions: that restore would pick the files off the tape "as it went along". Using find -type f -print | awk 'END {print NR}' yielded considerably less than the 1444 files desired; "%&*#$%&(!", and other unpleasantries... SunOS (at least up to 4.1.3) supports an 'a' option for dump/restore to write a binary t.o.c. to somehow aid the selection process, but it appears to be supported only for local tape use. Whether this would have made any difference will have to wait... Apparently restore is designed to bring back only a handful of files or the whole thing efficiently; anything else wastes a massive amount of time.

Minor differences in the VM system (but the VM description is also very close, and necessary reading for those who might want to hack on it.) There are also minor differences in other parts of the system (but not many.) I saw pieces of it before it was published, and was impressed them, but seeing the whole thing ended up impressing me more. (Maybe I was impressed because I simply like working on FreeBSD -- but I could have been disappointed -- and wasn't.) If anything, it errs on the side of detail (which I prefer.) I was not disappointed when I got my copy and use the 4.4 book as a reference. One note, 4.4 (and FreeBSD) has drifted significantly from 4.3. The 4.3 book is still "nice", but I prefer the 4.4 one. If you want a really good start of a picture of the system, get the 4.4 book, and the TCP books by Stevens (esp. Vol 1(the protocols), and Vol 2(annotated source code).) I wish I had the writing skills of the author(s) of that book!!! Other opinions might vary, but am pretty happy with it.

There is even a nice web page at "http://www.ssimicro.com/~jeremyc/ppp.html" that walks through it. (Jeremy, thanks for putting this page together.) [RC] ---------- From: owner-freebsd-questions To: questions Subject: user PPP server problem Date: Wednesday, July 24, 1996 5:04PM I'm trying to get my office PC, running freeBSD V2.1, to act a ppp server so that I can dial into from a Win95 PC and have access to the Internet. I followed the setup process as described in the handbook and that got me to the point where using dial-up networking on the Win95 I can ping and telnet to the freeBSD machine. Also the freeBSD machine is able to ping the Win95 PC and access the Internet when I'm dialed in. The problem is that the Win95 PC can not access any host beyond the freeBSD machine. It can't ping the default route for the freeBSD PC or access any sites on the internet. To me it seems that the freeBSD machine is just not set up to route incoming traffic on to it's default route properly.I've read through the questions database on the freeBSD web site and while it seems their have been many others with this problem I couldn't find the fix for my setup. Here is a bit of detail on my setup freeBSD PC Ethernet hookup to Internet (3c509) IP address = 204.233.15.150 hostname = g26.mtmc.edu default route = 204.233.15.1 name server = 204.233.15.1 running user ppp with [-dedicated] switch modem on com2 sysconfig setting gateway=yes Win95 PC Using Dial-Up networking with TCP/IP as the selected protocol IP address = 204.233.15.152 default route = 204.233.15.150 name server = 204.233.15.1 Once again, I can get the Win95 machine to hook up with ppp just fine. I can then telnet to the freeBSD server. I can not ping any other machines on our network or access the Internet. Any help is greatly apreciated.

When I configured the PCMCIA card under dos with the 3Com config ... Let me guess, you're running FreeBSD 2.1, right? FreeBSD 2.1R did not support the 3C589C cards since they weren't released. FreeBSD 2.1.5R however, contains a patch for the newer cards and also works with all of the older cards. That it worked at all is good luck on your part. > 2.

This is probably the problem with using the 3C589C card with the older driver. If you don't want to upgrade to 2.1.5, you should be able to take the if_zp.c driver from it and use it directly in your 2.1R system.

Add a line like options CHILD_MAX=128 to your kernel config file and recompile (see the Handbook if you need more details on this). It's probably worth bumping up OPEN_MAX and maxusers as well.

Is "make world" documented? Among the benefits I hope to derive from upgrding, it's really important to me that sysinstall be updated -- the version on the 2.1 CD aparently has a bug in it that has prevented me from adding a second SCSI drive to the system, I'm told that the 2.1.5 upgrade will remedy this problem. Anyway, I've not seen "make world" or other upgrade (compilation) steps laid out anywhere. /usr/local/bin is'nt messed with by "make world" is it? what about /home and config files in /etc? (I unsderstand already from http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/freebsd-faq83.html#83 that make world will make a nice new shiney set of system binaries, what about the rest of the system? will it be left alone or....?) If "make world" or "make install" (equivalents?" are documented somewhere, please send me the URL. Thanks!

The 2.1-S was created using SUP and make world, so I've got all this source code around. I'm wondering whether SUP would get all the 2.1.5 source files or only the ones that have been changed. I ran sup -sfv to find out what it would do and it would receive 1577 files, create 223 new ones, update 433 (mostly, I think) directories, and delete 258 files, primarily but not exclusively games. The results adding the -k or -u switches, which seem to be two ways of saying "newer files only," were identical. By contrast the existing /usr/src directory seems to have over 10,000 files. "Upgrading" (I've already got the floppy files for 2.1.5) would seem quicker and easier, but I've never done an upgrade (versus a full install). Is it correct that these two methods would result in an identical operating system, just without the most recent source code in the case of the upgrade?

My /etc/ppp/options file (and the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, for user ppp as a server) both have the line proxyarp in them. Then in /etc/rc.local I've got: # put your local stuff here /usr/sbin/arp -s 36.33.0.75 00:20:af:be:eb:e0 pub and I have routed -q running. This is on the machine running as the server (my office machine). The IP address in the above is not the IP address of the office machine, but the IP address that I use for my home machine, i.e., the client, but the ethernet card number is the number of the card in the server. I think if you do this the IP address on the client machine and the IP address of the server have to be on the same network segment (if that is the proper term), i.e., in this case both the home and office machines are on 36.33. If you had another client machine with an IP address you could have a second arp -s statement. (My understanding is that the arp -s statement causes the ethernet card to grab incoming packets addressed to, in this case, 36.33.0.75, and route them in accordance with the routing tables, but that may be incorrect.) The alternative and perhaps more standard approach is to assign another IP address to the ppp interface on the server machine.

As far as I know we don't have such hardware for FreeBSD nor a driver for it . This does not mean that we can't support it or support it until we know the hardware device. The model that I am seeing here is one in which a hardware codec has the capability of NTSC or PAL output in addition to vga or digital output.

It is now my turn (Again!). For Father's Day this year, I got (to order for myself) the FreeBSD CDROM. I decided on the 2.1.0-RELEASE for reasons I cannot remember. I read the manual and did all the homework I could before installing the operating system, but alas I am still having problems. I called Walnut Creek CDROM technical support and they recomended I post the problems to USENET and send them the same info. So here I go. The plan: I have two EIDE Hard disks; one Maxtor 1.6GB, one Maxtor 540MB. I want to use the first (larger) to remain dedicated to DOS and Windows. The second (smaller) hard disk will be dedicated to FreeBSD. I want a XWindow system, one that I can try writing BSD drivers and try some X programming. The problem: After reading the book that came with the CDs (twice), I was not surprised when I could not load FreeBSD directly from my ATAPI 4X Creative CDROM drive. (I also tried the _atapi.flp_ created with the VIEW program.) I figured the best way would be to copy the files and directories needed to my large DOS disk and install from there. Even after the copying, I still had plenty of space on the DOS hard disk. I then booted with the _boot.flp_ (also created with VIEW). Things went fine until soon after the screen that asks if you are CERTAIN you want to load the system. I then got an error message that said: Failed to load the ROOT distribution. Please correct this problem and try again. After trying the same NOVICE installation method several times with the same results (I did try reloading the source files and change some of the directory structure on the DOS disk first) I tried the CUSTOM installation. I ran into problems with the EXTRACT directive. Almost all the transfers gave an error message that had: Write failure on transfer... >From the way things looked, all the sources were being read correctly, there seemed to be problems writing to the second disk. Finally I tried putting a small DOS partition at the beginning of the disk, as was recomended. I still got the same results. My system: Motherboard: Intel P54C/PCI (Plato), Neptune chip set, AMI BIOS; Current BIOS installed: 1.00.06.1AX CPU: Intel Pentium 90MHz Memory: 24MB 60ns w/ parity Video: Number Nine GXE64 Pro, 2MB VRAM Monitor: Nokia Multigraph 447X 1st OS: Novell DOS 7 & MS Windows 3.1 Floppy: 1.44MB (A:), 1.2MB (B:); using motherboard controller 1st HD: Maxtor 71626 AP; 1.6GB EIDE Jumpered as master device; using motherboard controller attached to PCI bus. 2nd HD: Maxtor 7546 AT; 540MB EIDE Jumpered as slave device; using motherboard controller attached to PCI bus. CDROM: Creative 4X IDE (model CRE-JTB?), Jumpered as slave device; using motherboard controller attached to ISA bus. Since I think disk geometry is the issue here, I list the following: BIOS has the following settings (hard disks are auto detected): Cyln Head Sect Size Drive C: 3158 16 63 1554 MB Drive D: 1060 16 63 522 MB IDE Translation Mode: LBA However, FDISK gives the following parameters: Partitions on 1st hard disk (1551.3 Mb, 788 cylinders): No Drive Start End MB Status Type 1 C: 0 787 1551.3 A PRI DOS Partitions on 2nd hard disk (520.7 Mb, 529 cylinders): (No partitions defined yet.) I know this has been a long post, I wanted to try to give all the hardware information I could and an accurate discription of my problem. I might have gone overboard, but I think it is better than a skimpy report. I am also going to give the full list of what FreeBSD comes up with when probing my system. If anyone has any ideas I am certainly willing try them. Thanks for your time. Brendt T. Bennett PS. My internet service provider is going through a change.

I'm currently trying to get my SMC Elite 16 card working with FreeBSD v2.1. It is configured for soft-config on the card, and the kernel settings for ed0 and ed1 are default. The card is picked up at boot-time on ed0 (0x280, IRQ-5, 0x0, 0xd8000 ) - and there is only conflict with ed1 which is disabled. However, when setup using ifconfig (ifconfig ed0 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up), the device driver simply spits a lot of timeout errors to my console, and the machine cannot be pinged from anywhere on the network. However, it is picking up ARP requests, as other machines have the card in their arp-cache. This is pretty odd... and I have tried removing all other cards with no positive result If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.. (And yes... I have tried another card). Thanks a lot...

It turns out that installing FreeBSD is far more difficult and involved than I had anticipated. I have a few questions I hope you can help me with. (I cannot make contact with supprt@cdrom.com.) 1. On page 26 of the Running FreeBSD manual it says I need to jumper my CD-ROM as a slave device. My CD is the only device on my secondary IDE (ATAPI) interface and when I jumper it as a slave device the CD-ROM drivers will not accept a slave without a master. In the process my CD-ROM drivers defaulted back to real device drivers and I had to reload Windows 95 to get the CD-ROM as well as my IDE Windows 95 drivers back. Is it necessary to jumper the CD as a slave device and if so, how can I do that without also having a master? 2. The other issue I did not realize when I ordered FreeBSD is the need to load it in a partition within the first 500 MB of disk space (or 1024 cylinders). Is this always the case with EIDE drives? I am using a Western Digital AC31200 1.2MB HD. 3. If I cannot get this to work, is there a satisfaction guaranteed as there is with Linux Slackware? It seems to me Linux might be an easier route to go, at least as far as installation goes. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

About a year and a half ago, I encountered Linux and BSDI's product. As about 75% of my work has been under Sys V and it's varients, I loaded Linux on my home systems and have been rather pleased. At the same time, I had a customer, an Internet provider, who was running BSDI. As their machines became loaded, they developed execution time problems and had trouble with process that would not die (both zombies and something stranger). I replaced their machine with a Linux one and execution speed soared as did throughput, etc. I, perhaps mistaken;y, judged '386 BDS's by that incident. A collegue of mine has commented that I ought to look at Free-BSD now. I would like to state that I am a Free *nix advocate, but am not a frothing at the mouth Linux fan. It has its virtues and it has its faults. What I am asking is for a reasonally objective comparison of Linux and Free-BSD, and some reasons why I should support Free-BSD. You need not try to woo me away from Linux, I intend to keep at least one machine running it. However, I am considering running a BDS derived system on one of my machines and checking it out if it looks like it is worth the time.

If you have a CDROM drive that FreeBSD can ultimately support, but cannot install from, then you may be able to use the pkg_manage command to install packages after you are done with the base install. Or you may be able to copy the packages you would like from the CD to your DOS filesystem, and then use pkg_manage. *** Disclaimer: Its after 4pm here, and my memory isn't ECC, so take my advice with a pinch of salt. *** [RC] ---------- From: owner-freebsd-questions To: support Subject: Software not loading Date: Thursday, July 11, 1996 6:48PM Hello- I have just installed free bsd on my pc.

I'm currently trying to get my SMC Elite 16 card working with FreeBSD v2.1. It is configured for soft-config on the card, and the kernel settings for ed0 and ed1 are default. The card is picked up at boot-time on ed0 (0x280, IRQ-5, 0x0, 0xd8000 ) - and there is only conflict with ed1 which is disabled. However, when setup using ifconfig (ifconfig ed0 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up), the device driver simply spits a lot of timeout errors to my console, and the machine cannot be pinged from anywhere on the network. However, it is picking up ARP requests, as other machines have the card in their arp-cache. This is pretty odd... and I have tried removing all other cards with no positive result If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.. (And yes... I have tried another card). Thanks a lot...

You kind of lost me here... The network card in my FreeBSD box has the IP address of 192.168.0.1 (set using ifconfig_ed0 in syconfig). The Win 95 box has an IP address of 192.168.0.2.

My hardware WOULD NOT make a filesystem under FreeBSD -- but ran fine under Linux and Coherent and MSDOS. I ran Linux for about a year or two--but found keeping in sync was difficult since the distribution I started with (SLS) kind of dropped out at 99.10 or so and Slackware was packaged differently. After Linux worked so well -- I upgraded hardware and went back and found that Linux worked well under light load -- but FreeBSD seemed to be more solid structurally and run better under heavy loads and swapping. FreeBSD's networking and NFS was a lot better than earlier Linux. I run both here (mostly FreeBSD though) and I've found that they both have advantages. Linux felt snappier under light loads. FreeBSD is industrial strength Unix with great support from people who KNOW Unix. Linux is closer to SysV (my preference) but FreeBSD is a good Solid Berkeley varient. Linux supports more wierd and flaky hardware. BSD is much more of a SYSTEM package, where Linux is a Kernel surrounded by add on utilities (from different people) which are packaged differently by different vendors. FreeBSD matches up against the BSD admin methods and books on admin. Linux sometimes floats between SysV and BSD on a per-utility basis. Hope this helps.

I hope you can help me, please. I setup a 486 with FreeBSD and two ethernet cards as a gateway in order to have acces from my internal network to the internet. My layout is as follows. internet ---> Router ----> Workstation ----> PC with FreeBSD ---> PC's and PC's int. I can ping from one internal PC to both of the ethernet cards in the PC with FreeBSD, I can ping from one internal PC to the workstation and I can ping from one internal PC to another internal PC. I cannot ping from one internal PC to one external PC or to the router or to any other machine outside in the internet. I am using the GATEWAY=YES option in /etc/sysconfig. Is this a problem with static routes that I have to add or something like this? Suppose my external network is something like 206.48.70.0 and my internal network is 192.10.200.0. What would the correct routes have to be in order to be this correct? Thank you in advance.

Just want to make sure it is not an option. :) > > Bradley Dunn > Harbor Communications > One World, One Network... Nope, not yet. It would be easy to get the 3985W supported for one of the 3 7870 controllers (channels), but each controller shares the same array of SCBs. This differs from the 3940 where there are 2 7870s, but they each have their own array of SCBs. So the 3940 is two totally independent controllers, where the 3985 is three controllers but care must be taken to allocate SCBs from a shared SCB array between each controller. The driver author has this on one of his TODO lists. If you're looking for RAID support, that's another question. AFAIK, Adaptec hasn't publicly release/published the documents for the onboard RAID controller (7810) on the 3985. Until someone prys the documents out of Adaptec for this controller, RAID will have to wait.

Haven't done anything like that myself. However, I have used Win95 to dial Stanford, which assigns dynamic IP addresses...Win95 does this quite easily, and without any script or the scripting tool if you're willing to type in your username and password every time.

And it should work with the dynamically assigned IP address if it can work at all. You might want to look at the routing tables on the FreeBSD machine (netstat -rn) and at arp -a to make sure you got what you wanted. With user ppp I have always had to dial by hand and put in the default route by hand (after I found out what the dynamic IP address was). You might want to look at Win95's routing tables also. But it seems to me you're talking about dialing an ISP from one machine (running FreeBSD) and expecting another machine (running Win95) connected to it via ethernet to be able to use the connection to the ISP to browse, telnet, ping, etc. the outside world.

It is not a problem for some BIOSes. It is possible (but not tres likely) that you have a BIOS that will allow you to boot a partition that starts beyond the 1024 cylinder mark. -- Outnumbered?

Thanks for the suggestion. I've discovered more information that leads me to believe that this is in fact due to shell limits: - if I run apache as root (and tell it to make its child processes run under user root instead of user nobody), everything is peachy. No more complaints about spawning children, etc. Clearly, root is not subject to the same limits as user nobody. This leads me to the next question, which is: - how do I make user nobody not be resource-constrained by shell limits? There is no login shell specified for user nobody. (Maybe this topic should be renamed, "Stupid Limits Question.")

The problem is that when I type 'ppp' to start the thing, it prints out is usual bit about not finding ppp.secret and the like, then the last two messages are: can't find ifindex. open_tun: no such file or directory This happen whether or not I have a ppp.conf file in /etc/ppp and whether or not I have tun0 configured as a network device in /etc/sysconfig. I had ppp up and working at least to the point where I got the "PPP on hostname>" prompt under 2.1.0R, but I blew that slice away and installed 2.1.5R fresh since I hadn't tweaked with 2.1.0R much. I'm sure this is something silly. Can someone here give me a few pointers? Thanks.

Not wanting to start a war, but they are far and few between.. I have never seen one. I have not seen everything. Less then a year (~9mths) ago I researched this for a simular conversation in another world.. A BBS community I am involved in. I talked to AMI, Phenoix, and Award they all told me it's a PC System BIOS limitation. And that thier PC System BIOS basecode dosn't support booting from >1024 cyclinders! Although they also stated that what MB manufactures do to thier basecode is unknown to them. Thats what I was told from the horses mouths, So thats what I go by. Yes, I realize that technoligy is growing rapidly and this may now be out of date. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...

I ran into the same problem. So after searching the mail archives I found a letter mentioning that this could be fixed by setting a larger buffer under route.c. In line 360 of the 2.1.5 code, the line read: struct ifreq reqbuf[32]; so I increased it to read 320: struct ifreq reqbuf[320]; after recompiling this fixed my problem and 16 modems are running on my system and ppp works fine. I'm not sure this relates to solving your problem but try it out.

I am definitely going to try installing FreeBSD. I have a few technical questions though. 0) When Linux runs out of virtual memory, it crashes. What is FreeBSD's behavior under these conditions? 1) What is the standard maximum on the number of open files (system wide and per user) on FreeBSD? How severe is the penalty for increasing these? 2) Linux can use any available free memory for file buffers, so that under light loads some files may end up being accessed entirely from memory. Does FreeBSD do this, or does it do a fixed pool of buffers. Thanks in Advance, pjm -----------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Paul J.

Well, since I'm the one who started this thread you'll be happy to know that with everyone's help I've managed for the most part to get dial-up ppp running on my FreeBSD machine so that my Win95 machine can access the Internet via dial-up networking(using it right now :)!! The only problem left is that once I disconnect, I am unable to get the a ppp connection again untill I reboot the FreeBSD machine and restart ppp. Then it works ok for one more connection... and so on. Any idea on what the fix for this is? I also would be more than happy to help with putting together documentation for dial=up ppp, of course all I know is how to guess what combination of settings will work :) Thanks for everyone's help.

( I've issue '-c' at boot prompt, then 'list' command. ) Definitely i have good version of boot.flp because i take 5 copies from different sites. Also i checked 2.2-960612-SNAP. There also no AHA2742. May be i have very buggy HP computer ( but it runs 2.1.5 with AHA1542 just fine ). Thinking so i try to check 2.1.5 on my robust old computer. It runs 2.1R very good and there is original Adaptek 2742 in EISA slot. Absolutely same sympthoms - no ahc device in list. Booting 2.1R boot.flp on 'new' HP LC with AIC7770 gives full success. Aic7770 detected and works. Below are summary : ---------------------------------------- Adapter 2.1R 2.1.5R 2.2 SNAP ---------------------------------------- aic7770 ok no no aha2742 ok no no aha1542 ok no no ---------------------------------------- Main QUESTION : Do you forget to delete AHA2742 from HARDWARE.TXT ? :-) Or it is only my problem ? Thank you.

I'm not too familiar with IDE CDROMs, but I'd try having it as the master on the second controller, or if that doesn't work, as the slave on the first controller.

I > have an Atapi CD-Rom, so I am installing from my Dos partition. This is a problem with MSDOS's stupid restrictions on file names. The install program is looking for names like kringemaker-1.6.alpha.tar.gz which DOS has completely garbled. You can fix this by truncating them yourself into a more sensible format before installing; the trick is to have an eight-letter name followed by '.tgz', eg something like kringema.tgz for the above program.

I was told that a newer release may support the IDE CD-rom setup, > is this true. thanks. 2.0.5 is a little old - we're now up to 2.1.5, which has considerably better support for IDE CDROMs (although still not quite 100%). This was probably where you saw the atapi.flp file - this is a boot image that should have a sporting chance of recognising your CDROM. Note, though that you'll probably have to install 2.1.5 to be able to actually access the drive under FreeBSD, which may or may not be important to you. Also, the kernel that gets installed doesn't support IDE CDROMs, so you'll need to re-configure it (this isn't as difficult as it sounds).

( I've issue '-c' at boot prompt, then 'list' command. ) I tripped over that too for our AHA2842. oddly enough, it still boots and recognizes the SCSI card, so the code for the AIC7X70 is in there somewhere. I think that's because 2.1.5R has a real EISA probe, so it doesn't need to be configured anymore. All of this is good to know, but doesn't tell you why it isn't working for you.

I have a copy of Running FreeBSD, and I have searched the online information. The closest I have come is using sysinstall to do a custom install, but only partition and slice the disks, however, everytime I do this, it want's to install packages as it thinks its a fresh installation.

Of course, I made sure that there were no hardware conflicts. You can send your answer or suggestions to a90d903@ibm.com, which corresponds to "Luis Felipe López Pellicena" (my customer name).

I have successfully installed FreeBSD. However, the documentation provided on the CD-ROM has not given me enough information to do much further. In trying install the on-line documentation and read it, I encountered a few problems. I cannot resolve them myself because the problems relate to accessing the documents required to resolve the problems. (A chicken-and-egg problem.) Can you provide me the information to solve the following difficulties? First, I wanted to reconfigure a few things. Most importantly I wanted to reconfigure the HTTP documentation facility in order to be able to read the documentation so that I could fix my own problems. The first difficulty was that there is no documentation in the files on the CD-ROM which indicate how I can access the Configuration Menu from the installed BSD. The second difficulty arose when I booted from the Installation/boot disk and attempted run the HTTP Docs Menu from the installation/boot Configuration Menu. The Configuration Menu did not allow me to do this. The error message read, "This opton may not be used until after the system is installed," which is entirely inappropriate because the system is installed. Please provide me information on how to call up the Configuration Menu form the installed BSD so that I can make a "post installation" configuration. Secondly, failing in this attempt to access the vital HMTL documents, I attempted to install Netscape as per your instructions in the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM in order to be able to access the HMTL docs on my BSD Docs CD. The instructions say explicitly to do the following, #cd /usr/ports/net/netscape #make all install Netscape could not be installed as instructed. The error message read as follows "netscape-v112-export.i386-unknown-bsd.tar.Z does not seem to exist on the system Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.netscape.com [... etc.] Note that the PORTS filesystem is installed under /usr. I also attempted to install netscape as follows, #cd /usr/ports/net/netscape/files #make all install and this seemed to be more productive, except that I got this error "/usr: create/symlink failed, no inodes free Jan 20 18:20:08 freebsd /kernel: uid 0 on /usr: out of inodes," when Makefile tried to create directories. And because of this, I, inevitably got the following message when Makefile attempted to do an install, "install: netscape: No such file or directory *** Error code 1." Please instruct me how to get past these difficulties since it I cannot get past them myself because I cannot access the documentation required because of these difficulties.

It indicates that you are seeing a lot of connection activity. Perhaps you need to configure more mbuf space (by increasing NMBCLUSTERS in 2.1, or maxusers in -current). As you have provided almost no information by which your problem could be diagnosed, it is quite difficult to say definitively what the answer is. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

I have a 486 SLC2 IBM motherboard with 16MB of RAM and an IDE hard drive and CDROM drive. I have tried each of the installation methods described in the handbook, except for the network install, and each has failed. For both the DOS install and DOS IDE procedures I was able to get through the initial setup process of selecting the hardware and file systems but the install failed, when I selected CDROM as source, with an error message saying that I have to "assign disk labels before proceeding". As I did not expect the install to work properly because of the IDE CDROM I next created the boot floppy for installing to an IDE CDROM. This procedure did not get as far as either of the other two. When the system tried to boot from the floppy it failed with the following error message repeating until the system was rebooted: error: C:61 H:0 S:14 If you have any suggestions as to why these installs failed I would like to hear from you. In the meantime I will be installing an old Sony 2X CDROM and trying the installation again.

I've got a Toshiba laptop with a Backpack external CD-ROM hooked to the printer port. I've already been told in no uncertaion terms by many people that it (the CD-ROM) isn't supported by Linux. But, here's the question...can I use rawrite or something to copy the parts of either Linux or (preferrably) FreeBSD to a DOS partition and install it from there? Or, could I be so lucky that maybe FreeBSD does support my CD-ROM drive? Oh, yeah, if it matters, my laptop has Win95 on it which I have to keep. Will the two coexist? Thanks!

The problem is I don't know which disk or how to assign the labels. I cannot find a screen or utility or menu selection which lets me do this. Could you please tell me what I need to do here? I am waiting for the installation manual to arrive via snail mail but I would like to make some progress meanwhile. The other problem is that the installation procedures cannot find the CDROM drive. I watch the boot process for BSD and I can see where the CD is detected but after going through the menu selections under 'novice' the install process reports that no cdrom has been installed. I have tried a Hitachi 4X IDE, a Sony CDU33A on its own proprietary card and the Sony using the CD interface on a Zoltrix sound card. I have even used the '-c' boot option to explicitly tell BSD where the CD is located. It still reports that a CD cannot be found after it reports the device during boot and selecting the novice installation. I have tried each of the installation methods on the CD and have run out of options. Please help! Thank you, Trevor Johnson oceans@nfld.com From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jul 26 09:13:04 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA04814 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 09:13:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mother.cdrom.com (mother.cdrom.com [204.216.28.172]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA04806 for ; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 09:13:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (support@localhost) by mother.cdrom.com (8.7.5/8.6.9) with SMTP id JAA16440 for ; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 09:13:00 -0700 (PDT) Delivery-Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 02:08:43 -0700 X-Received: from wc.cdrom.com (wc.cdrom.com [204.216.28.155]) by mother.cdrom.com (8.7.5/8.6.9) with SMTP id CAA00995 for ; Thu, 25 Jul 1996 02:08:42 -0700 (PDT) X-Received: from localhost.cdrom.com (localhost.cdrom.com [127.0.0.1]) by wc.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA15392 for ; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 20:47:22 -0700 X-Resent-Message-Id: <199607250347.UAA15392@wc.cdrom.com> X-Authentication-Warning: wc.cdrom.com: Host localhost.cdrom.com didn't use HELO protocol X-Received: from wcarchive.cdrom.com (wcarchive.cdrom.com [165.113.58.253]) by wc.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id UAA15295 ; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 20:37:45 -0700 X-Received: from smartsun.smartnet.net (root@smartsun.smartnet.net [208.128.64.1]) by wcarchive.cdrom.com (8.7.5/8.6.9) with SMTP id UAA16488 for ; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 20:38:08 -0700 (PDT) X-Received: from brianloe (pm1-16.kc.mo.smartnet.net [208.128.64.116]) by smartsun.smartnet.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id WAA20246 for ; Wed, 24 Jul 1996 22:38:11 -0500 Posted-Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 22:38:11 -0500 Message-Id: <2.2.32.19960725033725.006741cc@smartnet.net> X-Sender: nigol@smartnet.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 22:37:25 -0500 To: www@wcarchive.cdrom.com From: Brian Subject: FreeBSD X-Resent-To: support@cdrom.com X-Resent-Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 20:47:22 -0700 X-Resent-From: Order Information ReSent-Date: Fri, 26 Jul 1996 09:12:52 -0700 (PDT) ReSent-From: Jamil Weatherbee ReSent-To: questions@freebsd.org ReSent-Message-ID: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I was just hoping to solicit a few opinions...

(And yes... I have tried >another card). Timeouts are caused when the system doesn't receive the transmit complete interrupt after the packet has been transmitted. This can be caused by the interrupt that is set on the card not matching the kernel configuration or can be caused by another card conflicting with the same interrupt. You may wish to check the soft config and make sure that it is set for irq 5. You may also wish to try a different interrupt (like irq10). If your machine is a PCI machine, you may wish to check the BIOS to make sure that irq5 (or whatever irq you decide to use) is properly allocated to the ISA bus. There are no known bugs in the 'ed' driver and SMC Elite 16 cards are known to work fine (have been specifically tested in the release). -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jul 26 09:15:19 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA05052 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 09:15:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de [139.30.40.28]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA05026 for ; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 09:15:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from lkoeller@localhost) by odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de (8.6.12/8.6.9) id SAA02512; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 18:14:01 +0200 Date: Fri, 26 Jul 1996 18:14:01 +0200 From: Lars Koeller Message-Id: <199607261614.SAA02512@odie.physik2.uni-rostock.de> X-Face: nLQGe[[K51[{{[C\,BiQm[7]u1m{N>_\%nLBo4t@)CoZ}hK[W7DwX&V=}Wf#Qb,j:Jpj[(12r=b~:dYmh]fDf\, ]_frt6eM' dated: Fri, 26 Jul 1996 11:54:47 -0400 (EDT) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > Hi! > > > > Where can I get information about the latest CERT advisories patched > > in a REALESE (e.g. 2.1.5 fixes all security problems up to SA-96:17, or > > something else)? > > > > www.cert.org :) > > Even if something is not fixed - I mean most recent problem(s), > there's always an advice available on how to make your system > secure in the meantime Yes, I know, but e.g. where can I get the info if the suidperl or the rdist problem is fixed in 2.1.5?

It's fixed. The CERT advisory states that all FreeBSD versions 'prior' to a certain date are vulnerable. That date precedes 2.1.5, so it's no vulnerable.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am having some trouble setting up NIS on a FreeBSD 2.1.0 system. I cannot find any documentation on how to setup up NIS. I looked in the FAQ and the handbook. This is what I have done: 1. I set nis_clientflags to the following in my /etc/sysconfig file: nis_clientflags="-s" 2. Using vipw, I added the following to the bottom of the master.passwd file: +::::::::: 3. I rebooted the machine and verified that the ypbind process was running. Everything seems to work, except nobody can log into the machine. It doesn't recognize their account in the NIS database. Using ypcat, I can display the NIS password file (ypcat passwd) and all of the other maps. I can even switch to someone's account using su, if I'm logged in as root. Also, finger recognizes everyone in our NIS database. It just doesn't work when someone tries to login. The login process doesn't seem to consult the NIS password file. Is there something else I need to do to get this to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't figure out just what it is that I have to download to get a very minimal system going? There are masses of files all over the place. All kinds of documentation too, but nothing tells me what it is that I have to ftp. I have already ftped your boot.flp. By booting on it, it gets me to the place where I have to install something, but I have nothing to install. The reason I have nothing to install is because I have no idea what to download to install. It seems to me that the best way to go is to download ?something? from one of your directories into a DOS directory that I've set up. Then to use the boot.flp to install from there. If there are specific files in specific directories that I have to download what are they?

I'd recommend you add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path variable (either .cshrc or .profile depending on the shell you are using). I assume you are doing it from the root account and you have correctly excluded . (dot - current dir) from your path. Try ./xdm. Alos check for the presence of X and the corresponding link to the appropriate server.

Processes currently running continued to run, and the machine responded to pings, but it would not create new processes for telnet, http, cron jobs, etc. (I eventually had to resort to the cron reboot...) It turned out to be a bug in 2.1 Release. I upgraded to 2.1.5 (took about 40 minutes), and have been up with no problems for a week. (I still see the 'rtq_reallyold' messages - they seem to happen in response to a particular type of load on the machine that often triggered the bug) Re update(if this is the same bug): make sure to back-up everything, particularly /etc. Though it is saved off to a tmp directory, I did lose some config files (sysconfig and a couple of others) along the way, and had to go to my backups.

FD_ZERO(&fdvar); FD_SET(Socket, &fdvar); select(nfds, &fdvar, ... if(FD_ISSET(Socket, &fdvar)) display_it_in_human_readable_form. :) It does as expected, Except if I have IPXrouted running then it fails at bind with: Address already in use.

I ran 'mt' to check the drive status and got this. cyber1# mt status Present Mode: Density = 0x45 Blocksize = 512 bytes ---------available modes--------- Mode 0: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable Mode 1: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable Mode 2: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable Mode 3: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable I got the following system error message st0(ahc0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc: 24,0 Invalid field in CDB st0: Cannot set selected mode What is CDB? I have obviously missed something, but I am not sure what. I am new to installing/using tape drives on unix systems, so I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. Is there a device setup file where I specify the density and blocksize for each mode? I have found some technical info about TR-4 media QIC-3095 Number of Tracks: 73 Bit density: 67,733 (docs didn't say if per inch or not) Encoding method: RLL1,7 Length: 270 ft. My problem is what do I do with this information? In the man page for 'mt' that specific bit density is not supported, do I just pick the closest match? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty confused by all this! There should'nt be any other machines sending arp requests (there's no other machines on this ethernet segment -- it just goes to the router) -- this problem only started with my system rebuilt. Is there something weird in the new (2.1.5 stable) named binary? It was suggested to me that I: >... find the broken machine that's broadcasting ARP requests for the >loopback address, and turn it off. I'm not clear on how to track that down -- again, this is the only machine on this ehternet segment. Thanks for any help you can offer!

You can run Linux with a BSD feeling too, since there is not 1 distribution. For example, most distributions come with a SYSV init and all these horrible /etc/rc?.d directories. But the standard linux-utils package has a BSD like init and a simple /etc/rc and /etc/rc.local sample file. The same goes for most other things.

True, and as I said, often you can choose between both and follow your taste (the problem is of course that every Linux system can be quite different from another one).

Secondly, you would have to listed with the Internic as either the primary or secondary nameserver for your domain in order for others to use your nameserver to resolve IP's. Chances are, your ISP hasn't setup the reverse lookup for your IP's.

Here are a few advantages of FreeBSD over WinNT:- o Very complete operating system available free of charge. o Source code available free of charge. o Many more applications available free of charge in source form. o Probably easier to find experienced staff/consultants. o Lots of helpful enthusiasts to answer your questions :-) o The reference implementation of TCP/IP (the one that's been holding the Internet together for the last 15 years). o Bugs and security problems are readily admitted to and quickly fixed (wherever possible). o Can be administered remotely, so if it crashes at 3am you can dial in and fix it without leaving your bedroom! (apparently WNT can only be administered if you're sitting in front of it). o You can install it on as many machines and have as many users as you like, at no charge. o Extremely liberal licensing terms that allow you to do practically anything with the source, without attaching onerous conditions. o Very extensive range of development tools comes with the system free of charge. And, in the interests of fairness, a few disadvantages:- o No formal technical support. o Many businessmen/managers are prejudiced against free software. o Doesn't run DOS/Windows apps (not completely true, but near enough). o Very little in the way of 3rd-party commercial applications. o If something you want is missing, and none of the developers have the time and/or inclination to provide it, the only options are to do it yourself or forget about it. o The documentation is not yet complete. o Support for IDE CDROMs is not yet complete. o Not so many pretty icons to click on...

At the very minimum, you'll need all the files from the bin directory. I would also recommend getting all the files from the manpages and info directories, and the ssys.* files from src.

The 1st ide has /, /var, and swap on it while the SCSI has /usr . What I'm concerned about are those "vm_fault" and "Invalid field in CDB" errors that seem to keep large processes from running. This happends even if I boot with the GENERIC kernel. When I booted with this newest kernel, it didn't succeed the first time. It got into a loop of trying to start all the sttys, failing, waiting 30 seconds and then trying again. After about 5 minutes of this I hit reset and when I booted again with the GENERIC kernel the fsck failed and running it manually, I lost several file from my /usr partition. (Perhaps each one of the sttys got a sig 11 and died so init kept trying to restart them?) Having to hit reset, and not knowing how to run fsck well enough I guess is what lost the files. I have trouble believing that it was a coincedence that I just happened to get some new hardware failure the exact moment I tried running a new kernel. It seems that they are related somehow. I've used this same hardware for running Linux, compiling large programs there like emacs and new kernels and most recently installing FreeBSD 2.1.0 running large compiles like fvwm, xemacs, and now, a new kernel. I checked the archives of the FreeBSD mailing lists and there were a few references, but nothing conclusive. Do I just need to get 2.1.5? Reformat my disks? Help!

I've gathered this > from the docs on make and man pages. OK. The "ports" collection (/cdrom/ports) and the "packages" are related. Each "package" was built from the sources in the corresponding "port". Some "ports" don't have "packages" -- because they need to be customized for a particular site, or perhaps the licensing says "you can't distibute this in form XYZ...". Likewise, some of the sources for a "port" may not be on the CD or may only be available from a particular ftp site (again, usually because of licensing restrictions). And, some packages may not be built from their corresponding port (e.g., packages that need particular libraries like Motif...) A makefile is a set of instructions telling make(1) just what it needs to do in order to build a particular piece of software (e.g., compile this, then this, then glue them together, then shove the result over here, etc.). The "distfile"s are the bits and pieces (sources usually bundled up as gzipped tar balls) which are needed for a particular port. *Most* of the ports have the required distfiles in /cdrom/distfile (but some are not... for the above reasons) > I have figured out how to extract binarys, and installed X using the > cat|tar combo. > > Does anyone know of a website or other documentation that really spells > out the process of compiling something like elm on a FreeBSD system? Move into the appropriate directory (e.g., cd /usr/ports/mail/elm). Then, invoke make(1) (e.g., make). :> Make will look through the Makefile in that directory and decide how to build the port. This will typically involve locating the "sources" for the port in the "distfiles" -- if they aren't available, it will tell you and then automatically attempt to ftp to the appropriate ftp site and *get* them for you. (N.B. to do *only* this step in the process, you could invoke "make fetch"). It also looks at the checksums of the files to make sure they look good. Then, it will extract the files from the "distfile"(s) that it located. Typically, this is gunzip | tar (i.e. tar xz) but it could be any number of mechanisms depending on the format of the distfile and the instructions in the Makefile (e.g., zip, cpio, compress, etc.). These files are extracted into a subdirectory of the directory you are in -- typically "work" (e.g., /usr/ports/mail/elm/work) or "work/src". (N.B. to do the fetch and extract, you can invoke "make extract". If you've already done the fetch, make will realize this and will skip ahead to the extract step). Next, the port is "patched" to work with FreeBSD. This is where most of the work of those "porters" shows up -- they look at the original sources and figure what must be tweeked to make everything work with FreeBSD. The patches, if any, are in the "patch" subdirectory for your port (e.g., /usr/ports/mail/elm/patches) as a series of one or more diff(1) files. (N.B. Invoking "make patch" will bring you to this level after verifying that all of the other prerequisite steps -- fetch, extract -- have been completed). Then, the port is configured for FreeBSD and, possibly, your site. This typically involves querying your system to determine where particular include files are located, etc. For something like elm, it may need to determine the name of your host. Some of these configuration programs are interactive and require you to answer questions regarding your system or the options you might want to set up. (N.B. The "make configure" step will bring you to this point) Now, all of the sources are in a state whereby they can be compiled, etc. This occurs when you do a "make build" -- which is the default when you say just "make". This verifies that all of the preceding steps have been satisfied -- if not, it automatically does them all for you in sequence. Then, it "builds" the port -- compiling, assembling, and whatever else might be required to produce the final code for you. When this is done, you typically have all the programs you wanted for that port available somewhere under the work (or work/src, etc.) subdirectory. A last step, "make install" takes the programs, man pages, other files and puts them in their proper homes in your system (typically under /usr/local) so that they can be used normally. It might also tweek some other system files for you to automate as much of the setup as possible (e.g., registering a new shell in /etc/shells) So, if you're really confident, you can just start off by typing "make install" -- and skipping all of these other steps -- and watch make(1) go through each step, in turn, until it has built and installed the port for you! When you're done, "make clean" will remove all intermediate traces of this process. Typically, this involves erasing the work subdirectory and all it's contents -- since they've already been *installed* in their appropriate homes! Of course, there are lots of other little nits in this procedure, but, that's the 25 cent tour... (Note some of the Makefiles are broke in the ports collection. Often "make configure" ends up doing a "make build", too.) --don From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jul 26 21:44:14 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA08618 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 21:44:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freenet.hamilton.on.ca (main.freenet.hamilton.on.ca [199.212.94.65]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA08613 for ; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 21:44:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from james.freenet.hamilton.on.ca (james.freenet.hamilton.on.ca [199.212.94.66]) by freenet.hamilton.on.ca (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA05944; Sat, 27 Jul 1996 00:44:03 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from ac199@localhost) by james.freenet.hamilton.on.ca (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA13285; Sat, 27 Jul 1996 00:45:42 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sat, 27 Jul 1996 00:45:41 -0400 (EDT) From: Tim Vanderhoek To: Christian cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: C GURUS: How to link three object files together ?

I'm not at all familiar with Solaris, but looking at the Makefile, I suspect you're lucky it was a fairly simple one since it looks like Solaris does a number of things differently.

The latter two devices are of concern, The Matrox Millennium won't be supported by XFree86. You'll have to either purchase a commercial X Server (from XInside, for example.

You're not really purchasing FreeBSD from Walnut Creek. Rather, you are purchasing a CD-ROM that has FreeBSD on it. FreeBSD is free (hence the name).

If you have not yet installed the O/S, 'cos it doesn't see your IDE CD-ROM, then: (a) Make sure your disk is in standard CHS addressing (done from your CMOS setup. (b) Boot from DOS, fdisk a C: DOS partition of, say, 60MB. Format it. Config your DOS CD drivers in you config.sys and autoexec.bat. Reboot from this DOS partition. (c) Now, mkdir c:\freebsd mkdir c:\freebsd\dist mkdir c:\freebsd\floppies Copy the directories of these names from the CD onto the hard disk. For example, xcopy d:\dist\*.* c:\freebsd /s /e xcopy d:\floppies\*.* c:\freebsd\floppies (d) Make a boot floppy, using the makeflp.bat file on the CD. (e) Boot from this floppy. (f) You'll get into a menu/forms driven installation program. Follow the defaults from there, except, when it asks where you're installing from, choose "Install from a DOS partition". (g) Answer all the other questions and you're home and dry. Goto (i). (h) If it fails to boot from the floppy, then reset the machine. When you get the "Boot: " prompt, enter "kernel -c". When you get the "config> " prompt, enter "visual" and disable all drivers for hardware you don't have. Save and quit, and the boot should suceed. Goto (f). (i) Reboot from the FreeBSD disk partition and have fun. If you have already installed the O/S, but it doesn't recognise the CD drive when you boot FreeBSD, then: (a) cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf (b) cp GENERIC YOURHOST (c) vi YOURHOST In "vi", find the following lines and make them look like what you see below. That is, put hash marks where I've got them and remove them from places I don't have them: #disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 #disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus device wcd0 Save and quit back to the shell. (d) config YOURHOST (e) cd ../../compile/YOURHOST (f) make depend; make (g) mv /kernel /kernel.old (h) mv kernel / (i) reboot Mike --- From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jul 27 07:02:48 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA09481 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 27 Jul 1996 07:02:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Fieber-John.campusview.indiana.edu (Fieber-John.campusview.indiana.edu [149.159.1.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA09472 for ; Sat, 27 Jul 1996 07:02:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (jfieber@localhost) by Fieber-John.campusview.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA13449 for ; Sat, 27 Jul 1996 09:02:43 -0500 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: Fieber-John.campusview.indiana.edu: jfieber owned process doing -bs X-Received: from ophelia.ucs.indiana.edu (root@ophelia.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.204]) by Fieber-John.campusview.indiana.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA08800 for ; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 16:23:45 -0500 (EST) X-Received: from cayman.ucs.indiana.edu (cayman.ucs.indiana.edu [129.79.5.63]) by ophelia.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7/8.7/regexp($Revision: 1.3 $) with ESMTP id QAA06936 for ; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 16:23:44 -0500 (EST) X-Received: from halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu (halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu [18.26.0.159]) by cayman.ucs.indiana.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3/1.10IUPO) with SMTP id QAA13173 for ; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 16:23:43 -0500 (EST) X-Received: from freefall.FreeBSD.ORG by halloran-eldar.lcs.mit.edu; (5.65/1.1.8.2/19Aug95-0530PM) id AA07082; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 17:23:39 -0400 X-Received: from newsgw.mentorg.com (newsgw.mentorg.com [137.202.128.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA27868 for ; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 14:23:35 -0700 (PDT) X-Received: from wv.wv.mentorg.com by newsgw.mentorg.com (8.6.8.1/CF5.22R) id OAA23699; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 14:23:33 -0700 X-Received: from em-wv03.wv.mentorg.com by wv.wv.mentorg.com (8.6.8.1/CF5.22R) id OAA13961; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 14:23:32 -0700 X-Received: from willil by em-wv03.wv.mentorg.com (8.6.8.1/CF5.23H) id OAA13540; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 14:24:04 -0700 X-Received: from localhost by willil (1.38.193.4/CF5.23L) id AA29865; Fri, 26 Jul 1996 14:23:31 -0700 Message-Id: <31F93751.4F7C@mentorg.com> Date: Fri, 26 Jul 1996 14:23:29 -0700 From: Willi Lohmann Organization: Mentor Graphics X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02 (X11; I; HP-UX A.09.05 9000/720) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: www@freebsd.org Subject: regex test suite?

It does seem a bit of a strange coincidence. You probably had a marginal component that happened to lose it at that moment. It's also possible that this may be the first time the bad address has been used, although there certainly seem to have been plenty of opportunities for it to be accessed. The best thing to do now is probably to try swapping around SIMMs, if you have any spare ones around.

I am trying to use a partition occupied by win95 which contains the required files to install onto in another partition. There seams to be problems doing this and I get a lot of : write failure on transfer (wrote -1 bytes of 10240 bytes) Unable to transfer the bin distribution from wd0s1 I copied the files onto the win95 partition from the CD as the cd seams to be unsupported(could this be a problem). In vt2 there are errors like gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated /stand/cpio: premature end of file I know there are probably lots of questions so I appolagise if it is more of the same old thing but I have not been able to find any indication as to what might be causing the problems.

It depends on what you mean by "unnecessary garbage". :-) If you're likely to be compiling the source tree again, you will have to do a "make world" completely from scratch if you delete everything now. If you leave all the binaries there, you can get away with doing "make all install" and it will only compile the things that have changed. If on the other hand you're not planning on re-compiling it, then by all means do a "make clean" and free up some space!

I even went downtown here in Toronto, Canada to where my servers are and tried to get your programs to work on a server we have ready for BSD. I am (downtown) connected to the Internet via Ethernet, but because our system is Windows NT, we had the sever I now intend to use for BSD removed from the domain. That probably is why I could not get your program to connect to the net, at least via Ethernet. Maybe you know a way in which I can get this to work from both home (via ppp connection) and from our servers downtown. Our company is called CyberTouch Communicatations Inc, we are Full Internet Service Providers located as stated up above in Toronto, Canada. It is my understanding that FreeBSD is made for use by Internet Service Providers. I have had many people who wanted to join our service but wouldn't because I couldn't provide them with a shell account. I am the general manager and unfortunately, lack the intense knowledge one should know to run a business like this. I hope to have FreeBSD up (I ordered the CDROMS from Walnut Creek anyway) and running and hope to be able to implement this as our full operating system. If someone who reads this can help me out, I will be most oblidged to him/her. It must sound dumb, but I can't figure out what I am missing to get your program to ask for a telephone number in order to dial out, instead when I hit the "f3" key and type "term" and then "dial" the message I get is "login o.k" and the rest, as if I was connected to our servers downtown. Meanwhile the modem hasn't dialed anywhere and I can't continue. Hope to get a reply,, thanks for reading this and if I can get it going and working well, I would not object to being mirror for you as we are connected by ethernet to a T-3 upstairs Again, thanks for your help and understanding from a non-computer educated person.

The motherboard is an ASUS P/I-P6NP5 PCI. The problem is, once I boot into FreeBSD, I can't see the cursor on the screen. Also when I type, the text does not appear until I switch to another virtual console and then back again! Other "weird" things happening: - I can't seem to "reboot" or "shutdown" the machine.. the KILL signal is sent, but the disks aren't synced (SCSI disk) - when I booted up before, the internal speaker would emit a high pitched tone.. I disconnected it to solve this problem - when I try to mount an MSDOS floppy, the computer just hangs This sounds pretty weird to me, and the folks on #freebsd on IRC couldn't help me out. I would try to use the vt0 device rather than the sc0 device but it is not supplied in the "generic" kernel, and it is very hard to edit the kernel config files in vi without a cursor! Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated..

How hard is it to install FreeBsd on a system that > also runs Win95 (I need it for my GUI loving parents) *really*? Also, Well, I have both Win95 and FreeBSD on my machine here. I use FBSDBOOT.EXE to boot FreeBSD instead of using FreeBSD's boot-selector, booteasy (for political reasons). FBSDBOOT runs finely from Win95 (better from Win95 than from Dos 6). Win95 will prompt you for the special way to run FBSDBOOT (DOS mode, etc). I have a special user in Win95, `fbsd', which has FBSDBOOT.EXE in it's startup folder. I used Fips to split my Win95 partition. FreeBSD's dosfs code can't read the Win95 partition without destroying the FreeBSD partition, but Win95 is able to read the Win95 partition perfectly. With the eventual realease of vfatfs, FreeBSD should be able to read the Win95 partition properly. If you have a CD-ROM as Drive D, you'll find that it gets shoved to Drive E. Win95 itself should adapt to this, but you'll find that almost everything else (including some Win95 applets) might not. You'll probably need to do some reconfiguring, including editing the various startup files such as \autoexec.* and \config.* (Note, that means stuff like autoexec.dos, autoexec.bat, etc). When you use rawrite to copy boot.flp onto a floppy, make sure you shutdown Win95 to DOS mode. Do the same when you use Fips. This is VERY IMPORTANT. I find that FreeBSD often doesn't recognize my parallel port. It will usually recognize it if I boot straight to FreeBSD without getting to the Win95 login prompt. This, of course, means power-cycling to boot FreeBSD twice (once after logging into Win95 as `fbsd', and then so that fbsdboot gets run before the Win95 login prompt). The other option is to go into my bios setup after Win95 reboots the computer (to run fbsdboot in DOS mode) and exit the bios setup (doing nothing) which also causes lpt0 to be properly recognized. I think the problem is (choose any two of the following three) hardware/Win95/FreeBSD. > how similar and how different is it from commercial BSDI UNIX? And will More similar than different. > it peform quickly (meaning no delays for text printing on screen) on a > P133 166Mb ram. I have had no troubles with Win95's or Dos's speed. I just cat'd /etc/termcap and it finished in about 1/4 of a second on my P100 w/ 16MB ram. /etc/termcap is a 3983 line file. This is, of course, probably the most meaningless indication of speed I've seen in a while. (whatch closely, and you'll see syscons cheets by updating the screen in bunches of lines instead of one line at a time). Anyways, I'm sure if you started enough copies of emacs (or whatever) at a time you'd manage to slow down screen scrolling to a crawl. OTOH, starting that many copies of emacs would probably crash some (nameless) operating systems... :) Seriously? You shouldn't have any troubles with speed. On the average, the multiple backgrounds I run in X usually take up about 10-15% CPU, and even with that drain the speed compares well. If I were to lose all that snazzy animation, I imagine it would do even better! :) I'd compare the amount of time taken to do a `make world' on FreeBSD to the amount of time taken to do a `make world' in Win95, but unfortunately, that's not possible... ;) -- Outnumbered?
