You can either use socks (it's in the ports) if the applications you're using on the machines on the LAN have socks support, or use proxy agents for the applications you need (there are many proxies for web access, and the fwtk, which is also in the ports, has proxies for things like ftp, telnet and X). Most of those proxies are most easily used when machines on the LAN are only clients, but there are even ways to configure it so that the machiens on the LAN can act as http/ftp/whatever servers. Another option is to use the NAT option of the IPfilter package (again, look in the ports). I've never used it myself, and I think only the latest Beta works with FreeBSD. It's advantage is that it should be completly transparent for the applications running on the LAN. As for performance, unless you have a T3 to the Internet, your bottleneck will probably be at the line, not the router/proxy. > > Thanks in advance. > > +-----------------------------------------------+ > | Victor Manuel Carranza Gonzalez | > | Unidad de Internet/Red Cientifico-Educativa | > | Depto. de Procesamiento Electronico de Datos | > | Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala -USAC- | > | | > |e-mail: victor@usac.edu.gt, | > |Telefono oficina: (502)4769723 (fax/voz) | > | (502)4767719 (voz) | > |Telefono casa : (502)4782916 (502)2891037 | > +-----------------------------------------------+ Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 15 01:21:36 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id BAA07309 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 15 Dec 1996 01:21:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from cu-seeme.educ.utas.edu.au (cu-seeme.educ.utas.edu.au [144.6.16.20]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id BAA07304 for ; Sun, 15 Dec 1996 01:21:33 -0800 (PST) Received: (from iaint@localhost) by cu-seeme.educ.utas.edu.au (8.6.12/8.6.12) id UAA12136; Sun, 15 Dec 1996 20:17:55 +1100 Date: Sun, 15 Dec 1996 20:17:55 +1100 (EST) From: Iain Templeton To: Victor Manuel Carranza Gonzalez cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: modem problem...

Has anyone noticed the following unexpected behaviour in the stdio library? When one reads the input using fgetc() and echoes the read character immediately using fputc() there is no problem. If one instead reads the input input using fgetc(stdin) and tries to output something using fprintf(stdout, ...) (or printf) there appears some weird extra garbage on the out (usually an 'a' in my case) just as if the printf machinery left some trash in the input for the fgetc (stdin) to find. If I fseek() the stdin even without trying any real movement within the stream as in fseek (stdin, 0, SEEK_CUR); before calling fgetc(stdin) the next time everything seems to be almost alright. But even then it only works correctly for one character at the time input, because fseek (stdin, ...) flushes the input stream after the one character that was just read and processed. You could try the following short piece of code to reproduce the problem. ------------------------------ clip clip ------------------------------ /* * stdio-echo-test */ #include #undef fputc int main (ac, av) int ac; char **av; { register char ch; for (ch = fgetc (stdin); ! feof (stdin); ch = fgetc (stdin)) { fprintf (stdout, "ch = %x %c\n", ch, ch); #ifdef SEEK_STDIN fseek (stdin, 0, SEEK_CUR); #endif } return (0); } ------------------------------ clip clip ------------------------------ When everything works as expected one would expect it produce something like this... input: XYZ output: ch = 58 X output: ch = 59 Y output: ch = 5a Z What I get without the additional call to fseek() is... input: XYZ output: ch = 58 X output: ch = 59 Y output: ch = 5a Z output: ch = a I have no idea whether this oddity is present already in the original BSD version of stdio library or has someone tried to fix or enhance something and broken the original on the way. I assume though that this is probably a problem in the original code because also Linux and DEC's OSF/1 both seem to behave exactly the same way. Anyhow one does not (And should not have to!!) expect the stdin change when calling one of the printf functions on the stdout stream, if the input stream does not change also when using the fputc() family of functions. The same weird behaviour seems to be present at least on FreeBSD versions from 2.1.0-RELEASE to 2.2-960501-SNAP. Does anyone have good ideas about why is this as it is, and what could be done about it if anything? Cheers, // jau ------ / Jukka A. Ukkonen, Telemedia / Finnish Telecom Ltd. /__ M.Sc.

I sometimes need to transfer data from a SUN running 4.1.3U1 with a HP C1533A drive (aka Surestore 6000). I can write a 90m tape on the SUN, but when I try to read it on the PC it will read some of it and then start resetting the SCSI bus and eventually the whole process will hang and have to be killed. It always happens at the same place on the tape. The same tape will produce the same results on another system with a HP35480 drive (aka Surestore 4000 I think) running 2.1.5-RELEASE. The tape can be read back correctly on the SUN. My suspicions are that there is a problem reading long files from the tape as the file that I was having problems with was netscape at 5MB. The tape was written using tar.

Proxies for most of the services you may require are included in the TIS fwtk (it is in the ports collection). However, you may want to use a caching http proxy (like squid, also in the ports) to improve performance. The most important thing of all is to know what you're doing and have a clear policy of what you *want* to do. A good firewall is much more than the right software.

I have installed 2.1.5 and all the basics are working (bash and users are set up). As part of the install I took the setup options after the main install to set up XF86Config. I may have made a mistake when I accepted the default to place XF86Config in /etc. I also copied it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 after things were done. At this point none of the programs in /usr/X11R6/bin work even though they have the executable permission is set. Do I need to compile things from xc/programs/Xserver with make Makefile, make Makefiles, and make depend? The Walnut Creek handbook, man pages, and X11R6 docs are not clear on if I need to compile things now. If I do need to compile are the above make commands the ones I need to run?

The good news is: they exist. Try sc or oleo for the spreadsheet, Postgres95 for the database, and any of a plethora of text formatters (first and formost groff and TeX) for the "word processor". The bad news is, they won't find instant staff acceptance, to put it mildly. IMO the spreadsheets are just plain weak, the database stuff is not oriented towards Windows-like display, and the word-processing stuff I use would give your staff the screaming heeby-jeebies. I've been told that Lyx isn't bad, however. The trouble with this kind of software is that hackers don't enjoy writing it, so there aren't many Windows-like applications out there. The ones that are available cost money. Word Perfect is available for SCO and, I think, Linux, and I've been told that it works well under FreeBSD. > So where can I find a thorough listing of such software or better > still, are there people out there who are familiar with my situation > and can point me to a suite (or good selection) of quality software > products. A priori you can expect that stuff which runs under BSD/OS will run under FreeBSD. Install the appropriate emulators, and you can run SCO or Linux stuff. And take a look at the directory /packages on the first CD-ROM for available free software.

They have some Archive DDS tape changers there. Briefly: Archive 4584 NPR, DDS-1 with compression, 4 tapes, 16 GB total, $449 Archive 4586 NP, DDS-2 with compression, 4 tapes, 32 GB total, $695 Both of these units were discontinued before the Conner/Seagate takeover, and were built in 1995, but they're unused. They take up a full-height 5 1/4" slot. A 12 tape cartridge is also available for $99. My questions: Has anybody used these devices? War stories? Does anybody know how to address these tapes? I'm would expect that they are addressed by LUNs, but that doesn't explain how the 12 tape cartridge works. The salesman offered me a 15 day return, but that doesn't help me much, since I need to take the thing back to Germany to test it. I suppose if somebody round here were interested, and could let me try it out in his machine, that could be an interesting solution for both of us.

Unfortunately, work got rather hectic and I had to take a break from working on it.

Though the rest of my page is unfinished, I wanted to make it available for people to use, as I see a lot of questions about setting up PPP with FreeBSD both in the newsgroups and in the mailing lists. If you are trying to set-up user-level PPP, check it out.

I'm not sure on how to do this type of I did this the other day. The trick is to get 2 primary dos partitions happening. (something microsofts fdisk wont do) I created 1 primary dos partition encompassing the whole disk, then cut it in half using fips. Next I installed the alternate bootmanager osbs135.exe. (avalible from /pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools/dist) Then it was just a matter of formatting the partitions using the Win95 format and the DOS 6 format commands. cheers From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 15 16:26:09 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id QAA21849 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 15 Dec 1996 16:26:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from po7.andrew.cmu.edu (PO7.ANDREW.CMU.EDU [128.2.10.107]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id QAA21841 for ; Sun, 15 Dec 1996 16:26:06 -0800 (PST) Received: (from postman@localhost) by po7.andrew.cmu.edu (8.8.2/8.8.2) id TAA07986 for freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org; Sun, 15 Dec 1996 19:25:55 -0500 Received: via switchmail; Sun, 15 Dec 1996 19:25:51 -0500 (EST) Received: from unix18.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Sun, 15 Dec 1996 18:18:54 -0500 (EST) Received: from unix18.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Sun, 15 Dec 1996 18:18:40 -0500 (EST) Received: from mms.4.60.Jun.27.1996.03.02.53.sun4.51.EzMail.2.0.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.unix18.andrew.cmu.edu.sun4m.54 via MS.5.6.unix18.andrew.cmu.edu.sun4_51; Sun, 15 Dec 1996 18:18:39 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <4mh8RDG00YUu08TCA0@andrew.cmu.edu> Date: Sun, 15 Dec 1996 18:18:39 -0500 (EST) From: Robert N Watson To: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org Subject: B/W Quickcam information?

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

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

I have a few of the Ethernet cards referenced in the subject. Now I know these are (supposed to be) supported, but I am having problems. At boot, the card is detected properly, but then it enables the Thinwire/BNC port! Ummmm...like this card doesn't have a BNC port. I tried various mutations of ifconfig (link0, -link0, link1, -link1, link2, -link2, -altphys, altphys) to no avail. The card is plugged into the hub, the hub works, and the cable works. The yellow "READ ME FIRST" document that came with the cards has this to say: "This EtherPower 10/100 network card requires the latest SMC network drivers because of its higher performance and added feature content. It will not operate with drivers provided with older EtherPower 10/100 network cards." Uh oh. I assume the de driver is designed for these "older" cards? I checked the CVS logs and did not see anything relevant to this. This is the DEC 21140 chipset. Anybody have any magic tips?

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, :-) I looked in the FAQ, and did a search on the WWW page, and didn't see any mention of this. I am wondering if anyone has had experiences with Iomega's Paralell Port Zip drives and FreeBSD. The basic question is will it work at all, and beyond that, how well does it work? I think that Santa will be bringing me one of these drives for Christmas, so I'd like to get some info ahead of time. *Grin* System: Dell Pentium 90 (model XPS 90) with 32 megs of memory, enhanced paralell port. I have a WD 1.6 gig EIDE HD, Mitsumi/Panasonic 563 CD-ROM, and the normal bells and whistles (SB16, modem, mouse). Any other details you need? The system will not be running fbsd off the Zip drive, my intention is to use it to back up files, and possibly transfer files for business purposes down the road. The backups will need to support ufs and MSDOS file systems (seperate disks of course :), and hopefully OS/2's HPFS file system (that question is in a seperate mail). For my intended purposes, and into the future, the media size with the Zip drive is fine (100M), but since I'm asking, are there any other devices I should look at? The price is impossible to beat on the Zip drives now, and since they are compatabile with my main platform (OS/2) and DOS, they are a good choice for me.

There could a two ways depending on what type of floppies you want to access??? If you want to get at ms-dos floppies then I recommend that you install the "mtools" port from emulation directory of the ports tree. I've found that this handles dos file systems much better (mounting msdos files systems can cause disk crashes I understand) and using commands very similar to dos commands. Only problem is that you cannot access the drive without using the mtools commands. The other way would be to mount them directly, although I don't think it's a good idea, perhaps using "sudo" to trigger the mount command. Mtools would probably be the more secure way and safer than mount_msdos. But if someone's floppy was in the drive someone else could access it unless you use a Unix file system. But security isn't my strong point I have to point out. I hope this helps, Joel...

The prospective customers seem to be more keen in BorderWare as the solution for the following reasons: 1) It is based on a secured OS phillosophy 2) It is "commercially" backed by the vendor 3) It has been tested 4) Availability of the source to the modified kernel is impossible compared to FreeBSD as FreeBSD is a very "open" software distribution with source codes freely available. 5) It does VPN, NAT and Secured Server Network (SSN, vs DMZ) So, I really like to get a frank opinion/experience/suggestions on how people rate FreeBSD 2.1 onwards against BorderWare etc in terms of security features. Personally, I have only read through BorderWare whitepaper and not the chance to actually put my hands on it, and I really appreciate any feedbacks. Thanks in advance.

I'm quite certain that simply installing FreeBSD won't fry your monitor. _After_ FreeBSD is installed and working, you may want to set up the XFree86 window system. That _could_ fry your monitor if you tell it to use frequencies higher than your monitor can handle. Disclaimer: Don't hold me accountable for anything that happens to your system.

Umm, you don't want to run pcemu with IO privs, do you? _Implementing_ the insb/outsb family might seem easy, but _correctly_ implementing them is fairly hard. You also need to co-operate with the kernel to make sure the intended ports are not claimed by a kernel driver. This is basically impossible since there's no exhaustive list of which ports are claimed by the kernel available. An ethernet card might be easy, but think of things like a VGA with its scattered IO port address range, or even a plain IDE controller wich shares a port with the floppy controller. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 16 02:25:57 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id CAA16854 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 02:25:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from www.walshsimmons.co.uk (www.walshsimmons.co.uk [194.159.125.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id CAA16849 for ; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 02:25:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from mag.nation-net.com (mag.nation-net.com [194.159.125.14]) by www.walshsimmons.co.uk (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id KAA07159; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 10:28:22 GMT Message-ID: <32B52334.473E@nation-net.com> Date: Mon, 16 Dec 1996 10:23:48 +0000 From: Paul Walsh Organization: NATION-NET X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Mike and Mandy Neel CC: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Best of Both Worlds References: <32B512FC.65FA@kornet.soback.nm.kr> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Mike and Mandy Neel wrote: > > Is it possible, better yet, has anyone been able to run both MS-DOS and > FreeBSD from a multi-boot configuration (i.e. choose to boot in either > DOS or UNIX)?

Well for win95/unix you can use fips OR 2 real partitions. Use dos fdisk for the win95 or dos622 partition and then FreeBSD fdisk for the bsd partition. The default dual boot program for FreeBSD is booteasy. Be careful if you use fips and want to mount your dos partition. It can be iffy. Use 2 real partitions if you can. Regards Paul Walsh.

I have done that many times with hardware that was not supported by FreeBSD. I also have an "ioaccess" directive in the config file to enable access to selected ports. Apart from that, I realize that for the case in question it might be just pointless to have these instructions implemented since the driver for the board would not do the right thing anyways.

Any other ideas? What is the exact error message you are getting? (upon which command?) Did you run xf86config before that? Is there a file /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_ and does the latter exist?

I put DOS and UFS file systems on them and use 'em just like a removable hard drive (like most other ZIP owners I'm sure). Works great.

To make a long story short we ran into several problems. 1) We first tried the install from the Mitsumi CDROM; things went fine until we tried to link in the "ports" and the install program asked for the 2nd CD. We removed the 1st CDROM and put the 2nd one in. At this point the CD ceased to work (as I recall it appeared to be hung). Eventually we installed an Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI card with a SCSI CDROM and got past this point. My questions on this issue: a) is the Mitsumi/Atapi driver known to be this flaky? b) how high is it on the priority list to become updated? 2) There were 2 DOS partitions on the 3.2G drive (windoze 95 on 1st, 2nd empty). We installed freebsd on the 1.3G drive, but wanted to put /home on the 2nd partition on the 3.2G drive. During the install process, after creating the freebsd partition on the 3.2G drive, and trying to write the new partition info to the disk, sysinstall exited with a core dump (SIGINT 11). eventually my friend was able to configure a file system on the 2nd partition and then mount /home (glad i had him around). my questions: a) is this a known bug? b) is this file system/drive configuration "risky"? i need a stable system and don't want to be breaking new ground... thanks for your help, greg From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 16 06:52:51 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id GAA10129 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 06:52:51 -0800 (PST) Received: from maat.fastrans.net (maat.fastrans.net [206.114.221.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id GAA10119 for ; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 06:52:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from james.fastrans.com (uncle-al.fastrans.net [206.114.221.6]) by maat.fastrans.net (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id IAA19952 for ; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 08:52:35 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19961216085418.006997bc@mail.fastrans.net> X-Sender: james@mail.fastrans.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Mon, 16 Dec 1996 08:54:18 -0800 To: support@freebsd.org From: James Bass Subject: security risk?

files and some of the information that jimbo didnt want to loose... so they runed again the boot.flp that they already have rawrite in a disk.. the from the partitions utility in the novice window of the installation program they erased all of the dos partition and then settled 300 megabytes for a partition of freebsd... then they reiniciated formated the rest of the disk installed installed windows 95 filesystem only from a boot disk with the A:> sys c: command , and with A:>pkunzip -d freebsd.zip c: they restored the backup then they formated all the 20 diskettes whit the C:>format a: /u they was specialy carefull in that none of it had a bad cluster or something in this case they used another... all the diskettes was perfect and formated so they created the bin subdirectory in each one and copied in it the bin files. 5 bin in each one... exactly like the instalation.txt indicates evrything was going well and they was very (i mean very) ilusioneted, motivated, all this proccess took like five or 6 hours since the begging until then... then the bug came out... it was the worst thing that you could imagine. the most frustrating one. all the installation process was going well... the partition, the labeling / they read it all the menus so they worked well whit evrything in the media the chosee flopy disks set in the distribution the one marked as bin. and then it happen evrything was going well until the menu "please insert the flopy disk" they inserted the first diskette whit the A:\BIN\BIN.AA A:\BIN\BIN.AB A:\BIN\BIN.AC A:\BIN\BIN.AD A:\BIN\BIN.AE files in the drive and then hit the enter whit sweat int he face and the heart pumping. and a menu that says "Couldn't extract the following distributions this maybe becouse they were not available on the instalation media you have chosen" bin they were fully determined so they tried evrything from changing the directory of a:\bin to a:\dist & then to a:\dist\bin, a:\bin.aa, a:\freebsd\bin a:\freebsd i mean evrything then they tried installing from a msdos partition they created the C:\FREEBSD\BIN directory and then copied the bin files to it the same thing happen. the same awful menu. the worst was that the instalation program didnt find a kernel image to link so they have to boot from the flopies constantly after a few hours triying they give it up and tried whit the fixit flopie the floppie replied whit a # and they didn't know enougth unix to fixit.. after all they didn't have been root's never. so they give up heartbrokenly. that was 4 months ago... the last week jhony tried in his own computer the same thing... this time he had readit all of the install.txt and most of the freebsd online handbook in fact. so whit the fips utility he created another partion of 480 megabytes in the 1.6 Gb (IDE) of his pentium /133 24-ram computer and tried exactly the same thing. and exactly the same thing happened: he had downloaded the fips. the boot.flp, fixit.flp and bin.aa to bin.ee from ftp mirror #2 in a near computer that had internet conection, compressed put it back in home uncompresed and installed. the version was again the 2.1.5 & this time he had special careful in formating the diskkets from a ms-dos (6.22) based machine. (this time the boot.flp works well and the help files where available something that wasn't in the boot4.flp) and exactly the same thing happened... he tried again changing the ms-dos subdirectorys and installing from a ms-dos partition there where no diferrence. but this time johny 5 was fully determined. he find a old unix SVR5 reference manual put the fixit floppie inside and tried for over 12 continuos hours to learn enough unix to make the install proccess from the hostile # prompt. he tried mounting and umounting, making nfs to the hard disk, whit fsck, changing the path removing the floppie & trying of copy the kernel from the boot.. then mounting the ms-dos partition and coping the bin. files to a new bin directory in /dev/wd0s2 mounted as /mnt and then trying to uncompress it with restore & rrestore the with gunzip, whit zcat he look evrywhere for a command like the 'sys' of ms-dos so he dont have to boot from floppie some of this functioned... but none enougth to install the bin files or to link the kernel in the hard disk he become obsesionated whit it and since then he is still trying but now had become pale and thin. he didnt ate or drink nothing or almost nothing, if some one speaks to him he didn't answer or says something about 'the kernel' im worried about im and his live so i decided to write this letter to those fellows in freebsd.org that surely could help. what should johny do where was the mistake? in compressing the files at the beggining? should he downloaded it again and try it all? its a bug in the installation program? should the bin files go in another subdirectory? i mean it was in a:\bin should it be in a:\dist? or something its a bug in the instalation program? are somewhere a procedure to install the kernel and the all the system in the hard disk trougth the fixit # prompt ? and finally... to install freebsd, what should he done?

Configuring a new disk can be difficult. There are several good tutorials on how to do it in the archives, Doug White has written at least one. (Being an old SunOS user, this is less than a mystery to me, but that doesn't help the rest of the world.) Once you've gotten the disk configured and mounted, problems no longer abound. FreeBSD is one of the most stable systems I've ever used, and I used to crash and break UNIX systems for a living. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

There is, of course, the MS-DOS file system. You could take the source to that, and a book explaining the (gory) details of HPFS, and develop one for all of FreeBSD-land. Or you could try to pester a filesystem "expert" into doing it for you. I'm not one, by the way. Try terry@lambert.org. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

The cheapest and easiest way would be to buy another tape drive for the FreeBSD system. Seriously. Novell sells a TCP/IP interconnect system for NetWare servers; it may (or may not) support the UNIX/TCP/IP rmt (remote mag tape) protocol for tape drives attached to the NetWare server. If it does, you could use tar, cpio, or dump to backup the UNIX system to the tape drive on the server. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Try moving the 3com's baseports. 0x200 falls in the Plug & Play detection range (on the GUS at least) and the probe is probably tripping on it. Try 0x300 which works fine on 99% of the machines I set up.

SCSI IDs are set by a hardware jumper setting on the drive itself. See the drive's manual for instructions on changing the ID. The devices I've seen usually have three jumpers in sequence that are the binary representation of the ID. Having the ID be 6 won't hurt anything; the important thing is that it doesn't use the same ID as something else. There's also something about boot order, but since you won't be disturbing it you have nothing to worry about.

I'll sort of come to our defense here.... 1. Booteasy is very very very very very particular about disk geometry. The partition table's geometry *must* be right (from a DOS point of view) or else it gets stuck and loops. 2. If you have a really goofy setup then booteasy flops. OS-BS, System Commander, OS/2 Boot Manager, and other more robust boot managers are good options for such setups. > The boot device really should be remembered by the boot blocks, or settable > somehow. I was hoping it would be in 2.2 :( I need to reseach this, but I keep seeing things about something called "rawboot". I'm guessing this is some way of writing options into the boot blocks, but I'm not sure at all about it.

Those are the conflicting device(s). If they are unneeded, disable them, or else change their settings, or in the case of the mouse driver & syscons, ignore it. Assuming your CDROM is ATAPI/IDE interfaced, you shouldn't need to configure anything other than ensure that the controller (wdc) it's attached to is properly configured.

Actually, it's a 1024 character limit on the line I believe. Split your group or hack the system to support a longer group line length.

I have only just recenlty set up a small dial-in modem pool for PPP and I am having some wierd problems. If any one has a really good reference to point me to that will do. To simplify testing I have a test machine off the local network and plugged directly into one of the PPP server's dail-in serial ports. Let's call it the client. I log in with kermit and then fire up pppd on the server side. I exit kermit and fire up pppd on the client side. I then pretty quickliy start getting "Unknown protocol (0x4465) received" messages on the client side. The number in parenthesises changes randomly. The server side is also logging messages such as "demuxprotrej: Unrecognized Protocol-Reject for protocol 17509!". The ppp link usually is established, but I am unsure what is causing the "Unknown protocol" messages. Both pppd's are the same version (well one is on 2.1.0 and the other 2.2-ALPHA.) The problem only gets worse when I acutally dial-in, but this I suspect could be noisy lines. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is it bad hardware? Both machines have 16550 UARTS (a boca atio6 on the server). The server is a DX2/66 and the client is a P5/120.

After running fine for a couple of days, I was in X and things apparently started to deteriorate. I lost my shell in /usr/local/bin and various X11R6 executables were no longer executable. I found stuff like my bin directory and dozens more files (the ones I touched?) were all zero length files. I manually fsck'd. It looked like mainly directories were gone. I decided to reinstall. And, it happened again. This time, I was in X playing a music CD and bringing up Netscape. The cursor locked and the screen blanked and the machine rebooted. I had many bad files in the manual fsck of my /usr file system. I have a NEC p133 w/Aurora motherboard with 48M RAM that includes the S3 Trio64V+ and the Vibra 16 chips. I have a Toshiba XM-5401B SCSI CD-ROM drive and a Micropolis 4.2G AV SCSI drive and the Adaptec 2940 controller. Also, I have the 3com 3c590 pci ethernet card. What is killing my file system? How can I prevent this? I will try to figure this out, but I thought someone might have run into this and can tell me what to change. -keith -- Keith A.

I have an hp4020i (on 2.1.5-R w/ J.Wunsch's patches).

No. The list is quite complete. (May be you forgot `find' and `cat' to test-read. :-) Except when you want to burn audio CD-Rs. I think there exists a program to convert .wav files to the CD image and then burn it with the correct block size. But neither do I remember the name of the script (cdd ?) nor have I used it.

Have you tried swapping the cards' positions? This often clears up PnP problems, it may do the trick here.

I'm still here. Again, it's not FreeBSD's fault, it's Apache's fault. It's their bug :) I think you've done this already, but contact the port's maintainer (in the port Makefile) and let them know. At least they could patch it up and send a note or fix to the Apache team. If you know how, fix it yourself and forward the patch file up. Or check out the libmalloc code and comment out the printf(). Same procedure with tin. > and write direct I guess :-) That works better.

Looking at the messages below, are you POSITIVE? There should be a terminator just after the hard disk, powered externally and not from the SCSI bus. The NCRs are actively terminated(?) and shouldn't require anything further on that end. Also be sure your cable is secure and that it's not damaged in some way. Lastly, make sure the hard disk is well cooled. If it's a 7200RPM drive, they get *HOT* and you need direct cooling or it or it'll fail. > sd0(ncr0:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10mb/s) offset 8 > > ncr0: restart (ncr dead ?) > /kernel ncr0: restart (ncr dead ?) > > /kernel: script cmd = 88030000 > > ncr0:0 error (81:0) (8-a2-0) (0/13) @ (ffd1002c:00000000) > reg: ca 00 40 13 47 00 00 1f 71 08 00 a2 80 00 0a 02. > > ncr0: restart (fatal error). > sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @ f1243400. > sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @ f1243a00. > sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @ f1243c00. > > vnode_pager_input: I/O read error > vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware) error, PID 599 failure > Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 16 14:42:45 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id OAA10115 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 14:42:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts12-line3.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.135]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id OAA10076; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 14:42:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.2/8.6.12) with SMTP id OAA00553; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 14:42:18 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 16 Dec 1996 14:42:18 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Mun Fai WONG cc: questions@freebsd.org, security@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD vs BorderWare In-Reply-To: <32b5c1243534002@molhub.mol.net.my> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The security list could probably comment on this better than I.

So? What's so bad about that? Thousands of people around the world can look at the guts of FreeBSD? What's so insecure about that? if there's a problem, someone will notice it and submit a fix. With commerical applications, there may be a problem, but you won't be able to find where and how to fix it because you won't know the actual root of the problem. If there's a problem with FreeBSD, you can find it, fix it, submit the patch, and see the patch reviewed, committed, and a fix or workaround available in a short amount of time. Commercial software, you're waiting for the next release, which could be months away. > 5) It does VPN, NAT and Secured Server Network (SSN, vs DMZ) Add on tools can implement NAT, but the others I'm not so sure about since I'm not a serious security guru. > So, I really like to get a frank opinion/experience/suggestions on how > people rate FreeBSD 2.1 onwards against BorderWare etc in terms of security > features. The security list (and even -isp) can give you reactions. Hope this note helps. You have the common misconception that commercial implentations are inherently 'better' than publicly available ones -- a misconception that you need to dispel.

Our machine is directly connected to the net, which eases things greatly. The box I'm writing on now is on via user PPP. The trick to iijppp (as it's known) is the config file, /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. You have to set the serial port and line speed properly. Then you can do 'term' to drop to a terminal and type your commands in directly to login. Once that's working, you can start writing the login scripts, which are tricky. > At anyrate I am playing with it. I have spent a couple hundred on books > that don't answer my question.

To fix it: 1. Go into /etc/sysconfig and disable routed (set 'router=NO'). 2. After getting connected with ppp, type add 0 0 HISADDR This adds a default route to the other side. Make sure that ping, telnet, ftp, lynx/www, etc. work before trying to contact the machine from the other side. See the output of 'netstat -rn', the routing table, for clues. > I know it can be done via an IP because I am using a Windows for > Workgroups version server with no problem.

The OpenBSD folks, mostly Theo DeRaadt, have been pursuing security issues, such as buffer overflows in servers and such, with great ferocity recently. The changes they are making are certainly valuable as far as they go, but have very little effect on an operation that is already run in a secure manner. Let me elaborate: Most of the security holes that have been bantied about on the *bsd news groups this year have been exploits that happen only after your security has already been compromised. I.e., the recent user who reported in freebsd-security that someone was using his shell access server to run a packet filter and grab passwords. Who cares if he's grabbing passwords, he's *already gotten root access in order to do this!* If you run a reliable commercial ISP, you need to have your network backbone protected from outside intruders. "Outside" includes everyone on the planet that doesn't work for you -- your customers, the rest of the internet, etc. You need to do this via routers and firewalls that protect your critical systems from attack. You need to design a network that presents the least opportunity for hacking at all points. If you need to have a machine that is a boot server for diskless workstations, make one, but keep it separate from the mail server, the news server, the public login server, etc. This way, you can configure each machine to carry *only* the essential services and limit your exposure: o Your diskless boot server must have bpf enabled to run rarpd, so turn off telnet/rlogin/ssh access; only allow logins on the console. This makes it very difficult to hack your way into it and run a sniffer, spoof IP addresses, etc. o Your network itself needs to be protected. You should not accept packets from outside your network with "interior" IP address, or vice-versa. o Use separate mail servers to process inbound and outbound email. For instance, users on your shell account machines should not be allowed to send mail from arbitrary domains; your mailer should always force their correct address into the mail. Incoming mail should arrive onto a machine with no public login access, and be checked thoroughly before being forwarded. Mail that looks suspicious should be bounced to the originator, postmaster, and postmaster at the originators domain. I personall think too many of the people wanting to secure their systems are just looking for somebody on the FreeBSD team to tell them "It's OK, security is in there." This is never true; if your system is attached to the net, it's vulnerable. Take the time to learn how to secure it rather than relying on a placebo. If you won't do this, just accept that you are going to get hacked sooner or later. ;^) > 2. Reliability.

It may be related to my el-cheapo Zoom modem; when I upgrade to 56K I'll do it the smart way and use a real, live 16550 serial port with an external modem. Other than that, I've had no real problems with 2.1.x at any point. I don't do any kernel hacking anymore, but I still use the machine daily for light-duty software development, including emacs, gcc native, and gcc cross-compilers for VxWorks on m68k and x86 systems. > 3.

Connecting any UNIX and NetWare is a black art. NetWare sucks. I've used the NetWare TCP/IP products to share files and printers between NetWare servers and UNIX workstations, but the configuration is a nightmare. Once you've navigated your way through their labrynth of screens 47,386 times and have the product up and running, it seems to be as reliable as any NetWare server (not very). I've seen some here have problems between FreeBSD and Win95, usually solved by turning off TCP/IP extensions on FreeBSD.

Take note as well that the Controller has an ID as well.. typically 7 from what I understand. Also, a handy thing to keep in mind for the future if you use ID 6 and then add another drive later (with a lower ID) is to wire down the drives in the kernel.... See the section in LINT (typically in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf) that begins with # Beginning with FreeBSD 2.0.5 you can wire down your SCSI devices so # that a given bus, target, and LUN always come on line as the same I did that today on a system... Very handy! For complete details, check the FAQ... The reccomended way seems to be going through /stand/sysinstall and choosing custom/Express... But again, check the FAQ for instructions. ---Mike From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 16 23:50:42 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id XAA06977 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 23:50:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from onyx.interactive.net (root@onyx.interactive.net [208.192.224.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id XAA06972 for ; Mon, 16 Dec 1996 23:50:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from [208.192.234.129] (host004.nyc.interactive.net [208.192.234.104]) by onyx.interactive.net (8.8.3/8.8.2) with SMTP id CAA14563 for ; Tue, 17 Dec 1996 02:50:28 -0500 (EST) Date: Tue, 17 Dec 1996 02:50:28 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@freebsd.org From: cbooth@onyx.interactive.net (Christopher J.

The old hard drive is Master on IDE drive 1; the cdrom is slave on the 1st IDE drive. The new hard drive is jumpered as "single" on the 2nd IDE drive. I can now install from the CD-ROM, and in fact have. I am using LILO to boot to Linux and DOS on hard drive 1, and it it is succesful. What I can not do is boot to FreeBSD. Using LILO as my boot manager, I key in "bsd" at boot time, and the FreeBSD boot process begins. Then after a few minutes I receive this message: panic: cannot mount root and then it automatically reboots. Root is the first partition after the MBR. How can I take the next step and get FreeBSD to completely boot? Thank you, all. Chris Booth _____________________________________________________________________ Christopher J.

I get through the configuration no problem and can even fire up the ftp/PPP connection with my ISP. Then the install floppy loads files onto the driva and goes to find the ftp site. That's where it hangs. I've done it in the middle of the night and tried all 7 (8?) of the WC servers. Traffic wasn't the problem. Has anyone else had similar problems? Any ideas? Should I forget about 2.1.6 and just install 2.1.5 instead?

What you need to do is: 1. Give 1:wd(2,a) at the Boot: prompt. This will let you boot FreeBSD. 2. In the kernel config file, modify the config line to read config kernel root on wd2 3. Rebuild and install the kernel.

Reply-To: tjb@fnbc.com References: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Has anyone there built gcc 2.7.2.1 (or any gcc > 2.6.3) on FreeBSD 2.x? I can build it and use it, but get occasional compiler warnings because it uses its own stddef.h in preference to /usr/include/stddef.h, which results in warnings about empty definitions in sys/types.h. The problem appears to be that the GNU stddef.h includes but then redefines defines _BSD_SIZE_T_ and _BSD_SSIZE_T_ to empty strings, rather than "int" and "unsigned int", or undefining them completely. I can bodge a fix by inserting #if defined(__FreeBSD__) #undef _BSD_SIZE_T_ #undef _BSD_SSIZE_T_ #endif in the GNU stddef.h but don't know enough about FreeBSD to know what the implications are of having included but undefined _BSD_SIZE_T_... Anyone else been through this? I guess we should make the GNU maintainers of gcc aware of the problem, because their code tries to cater for FreeBSD.

Hiding the host name in the From: header requires adding a rewrite rule in the ruleset whose number is specified in the S= argument of the smtp mailer definition (usually). There are just too many different situations to give you a rule that will work for your case. Here, we use sendmail.cf automatically generated by a site-wide script. I hand-modified ours quite a bit though so I have some understanding of how it works... I would advise to get hold of the latest sendmail source distribution (version 8.8.4 as of 10 minutes ago, might have changed ;-) and take a close look at the "cf" subdirectory. Through the use of a couple parameters file, you can generate sendmail.cf files with the features and configuration you want. Carefully read the README file, particularily everything revolving around the "masquerade" feature. Quoting the README: ``The domain file can also be used to define a domain name, if needed (using "DD") and set certain site-wide features. If all hosts at your site masquerade behind one email name, you could also use MASQUERADE_AS here.'' > Also, when sendmail is run with the "-f" option, I get a message in > /var/log/messages: >Dec 16 23:39:48 wooster sendmail[357]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(eblood): >queuename: Cannot create "qfXAA00357" in "/var/spool/mqueue" >(euid=1000): Permission denied >A quick fix was to allow everyone >write permission in the mqueue directory. What is the real fix? (sorry for the reformating... my editor macros went nuts) The man page says ``-f can only be used by ``trusted'' users (normally root, daemon, and network) or if the person you are trying to become is the same as the person you are.'' This basically means that for a plain user, -f turns off sendmail's setuid "power" and then it can't write to the spool anymore. I wonder why emacs would need that. RMAIL doesn't seem to as far as I can tell from our Emacs setup here.

McGovern" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I want to thank everyone who has recommended the async cards from Cyclades for high density Async communications. I've purchased two 32 port ISA cards to do some testing, and am pleased with what I'm seeing over other vendors. However, when running 16 ports at 57600, I start getting buffer overruns in the neighborhood of about 1% of the total datasize (ie - I drop about 1K every 10 seconds - totalling about 1% of the total file being transfered) while FTP'ing files across all 16 ports at the same time. Running TOP, the "interrupt" CPU time can approach as high as 24% on a 586/133. The overruns seem to sync. up with the drive writes from the FTP sessions. Now, my thoughts are to switch to PCI cards with less density - 2 16 port PCI cards), or possibly 4 8 port cards (PCI) to alleviate the problem. However, I don't want to drive the cost up by requiring mode interface cards if its not going to help the real problem - which may just be that I shouldn't be hitting the hard disk while streaming these cards. At the same time, I'm thinking if these cards are doing DMA to offload their data, the PCI Bus will help immensely. However, I worry that if I then double my port capacity to 32 per PC, I don't want to take what I've gained and lose a lot more. Anyhow, I'd like to hear some serious insight from people who have worked this type of density hardware before. In the long run, since this is a project for Cisco systems using FreeBSD, cost will be less of an issue than the fact it works as promised. To summarize: I'm looking to maximize async density on a PC to test a new upcoming Cisco Dial-router product. All ports must be able to stream at at least 57600 in order to drive 28.8, 33.6, and 56K modems. There may be eventual need to drive the ports at 115.2K, but we can scale down the port density at that time. I need to know what people think we can load in to a PC without killing it, and how they'd break the hardware down. Thanks. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 17 05:43:57 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id FAA24049 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Dec 1996 05:43:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from spoon.beta.com ([199.165.180.33]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id FAA24044 for ; Tue, 17 Dec 1996 05:43:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from spoon.beta.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by spoon.beta.com (8.8.2/8.6.9) with ESMTP id IAA24070 for ; Tue, 17 Dec 1996 08:43:52 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199612171343.IAA24070@spoon.beta.com> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Cyclom-8Zo Date: Tue, 17 Dec 1996 08:43:51 -0500 From: "Brian J.

If the cards are configured to map the memory >1MB, then the shared memory speed may be as much as 3 times that of the ISA equivilent. Cyclades has been shipping the PCI cards to map the shared memory in the 640K-1MB region, so if you do get the PCI card, make sure you change the setting via the "cytest.exe" program that Cyclades has on their FTP site. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 17 07:08:32 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id HAA28145 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Dec 1996 07:08:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from root.com (implode.root.com [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id HAA28137 for ; Tue, 17 Dec 1996 07:08:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by root.com (8.7.6/8.6.5) with SMTP id HAA07941; Tue, 17 Dec 1996 07:08:12 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199612171508.HAA07941@root.com> X-Authentication-Warning: implode.root.com: Host localhost [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: "Brian J.

I just bought a used SCSI tape drive. I could only afford the least costly: Archive/Conner/Seagate 2150S HH-Internal-SCSI Tape 150/300Mg, 1 New 6150 Tape Included. According to the stickers it's the Archive. I have only two weeks to decide if the drive is OK and the clock began yesterday... Naturally the first thing that I found is that the vendor from whom I bought my system only included enough connectors on my SCSI cable for the devices that I ordered so I had to scurry around to find a cable. Now I find that my system doesn't seem to be finding the tape drive when it boots. I couldn't find anything in the handbook or the faq about adding a tape drive. Any suggestions about where to look and what to look for will be much appreciated. The system is basically all SCSI. Disk and CDROM are working. I can't see the jumpers for the disk-drive but according to the 2940 scsi utilities, it is SCSI ID 0. The CDROM drive is jumpered for SCSI ID 1. The tape drive came jumpered for SCSI ID 4 and I left it that way. The 2940 scsi utilities (I guess it's actually the Adaptec scsi utilities) see only the disk drive, the CDROM drive, and the host adapter (SCSI ID 7). The tape drive is not at the end of the cable and it has an empty termination resistor socket above the SCSI connector. Trying tar to see if it's really there anyway: PC% tar tvf /dev/rst0 tar: can't open /dev/rst0 : Device not configured PC% Checking /dev: PC% ls /dev/*st* /dev/erst0 /dev/nrst0 /dev/rst0 /dev/rst0.ctl /dev/st0ctl.3 /dev/erst0.0 /dev/nrst0.0 /dev/rst0.0 /dev/sndstat /dev/stderr /dev/erst0.1 /dev/nrst0.1 /dev/rst0.1 /dev/st0ctl.0 /dev/stdin /dev/erst0.2 /dev/nrst0.2 /dev/rst0.2 /dev/st0ctl.1 /dev/stdout /dev/erst0.3 /dev/nrst0.3 /dev/rst0.3 /dev/st0ctl.2 PC% Of course some of those are unrelated files that happen to have "st" in the filename. All of the files listed in the st man-page FILES section seem to be there. Checking my kernel configuration file (eliminating obviously unrelated "st"s as in "Filesystem": ^^ PC% grep st KERNEL.CRS options "SCSI_DELAY=15" #Be pessimistic about Joe SCSI device device st0 PC% Just to be sure, I'll look at that section and list what I find that looks relevant. >From KERNEL.CRS: controller ahc0 [...] controller scbus0 [...] device sd0 device st0 device cd0 #Only need one of these, the code dynamically grows Do I need to be more specific in the kernel configuration file than above? As mentioned, disk and CDROM are working. [I'll append dmesg output at the end of this message. I apologize for all of the "not found" messages in dmesg. I made only those changes to my kernel configuration file that were needed earlier and haven't had time to go back and clean it up by eliminating stuff that I don't have. The "st0" line is as it came in the GENERIC kernel configuration file.] I suppose that I could re-install FreeBSD (2.1.5) to see if that finds the tape drive but I really hate to do that if I can avoid it.

To backup your entire system onto a single DAT tape (if it'll fit), try: tar -cvf /dev/rst0 / This tells tar to (c)reate an archive, be (v)erbose about it, i.e. print the filenames as they're added to the archive, on (f)ile /dev/rst0. Try reading the man pages on tar, pax, and dump. They're pretty obtuse, but might give you some help. I also recommend that you RUN to the nearest bookstore and get get a copy of _Essential System Administration_ from O'Reilly and Associates; it will help greatly in your quest to become *SUPER-USER*. > There is a manpage for st (SCSI tape controller) but the command > isn't present on either of my two freebsd systems that I can find.

There is a FAQ, but I dont have a url, maybe someone else does. You can try looking in *.sendmail newsgroups, as it is posted there occasionaly, or go to Dejanews(www.dejanews.com) and search for sendmail faq. Actually, I think that is the way I found it.

All other things being equal, multiple drives are certainly faster than a single drive. With two drives, you can make two accesses (almost?) simultaneously, whereas with one drive you have to wait for the read head to finish accessing the first file before it can move to read the second file. The more drives the better, provided you can split up your directory structure appropriately. You could even use ccd so that the filesystem is automatically and transparently split evenly between the disks, but that kinda puts all your eggs in one basket.

I have this nice new 2gig drive which is right now on my second channel and locks up my freebsd system any time i try to access it... My feeble attempts at trying to serialize requests in the kernel only resulted in the processes freezing that try to access the second disk, a slight improvement, i guess :-) but, does anyone have a solution to this??? I'd rather not get another ide controller just for this drive... -- Jason Garman http://www.nesc.k12.ar.us/~garman/ Student, Eleanor Roosevelt High School garman@phs.k12.ar.us From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 17 20:56:46 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id UAA15925 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Dec 1996 20:56:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from inside.cruzio.com (cruzio.com [165.227.254.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id UAA15920 for ; Tue, 17 Dec 1996 20:56:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from pine51.cruzio.com by inside.cruzio.com id aa08355; 17 Dec 96 20:49 PST Message-ID: <32B77927.6D0A@cruzio.com> Date: Tue, 17 Dec 1996 20:55:03 -0800 From: "Daniel A.

After entering the network config with a network interface of ppp0, I try to use the term command to dial my service provider in order to connect to the ftp server. But, nothing happens when I try to use the d (for dialing) modem command. I'm don't think this is the right procedure. Finally, when I press continue to connect and begin the installation process, I get a "cannot relove hostname 'ftp.freebsd.org'" error, which is due to failing to connect. I set the telephone variable with my ISP's dial up telephone number and tried the term command with ~p and ~. I chose the "FTP Passive" installation media and the "Primary Site" FreeBSD distribution site. This is my following Network Configuration: Host: cruzio.com Domain: com Gateway: Name Server: 165.227.10.1 IP Address: Netmask: 255.255.255.0 If you could tell me the exact steps I'd have to take from the installation menu on dialing or connecting to my ISP so I can install FreeBSD on my computer, I'd be very greatful. I did read the entire QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR FREEBSD 2.1.6 and also looked for online pointers, but did not find any useful details. I've created the appropriate partitions, but am hampered by this limitaion. Thanks for your help, Daniel -- ---------------------------------------------- (*) Daniel A.

It's where the kernel is looking for the rot filesystem. Try one of the following: 1. At the Boot: prompt, give: 1:sd(0,a) (if the SCSI drive you boot from is called sd0). You may also have to use the -r flag. 2. In your kernel config file, make sure that the config line reads: config kernel root on sd0 (again, assuming sd0 is the SCSI drive with FreeBSD on it). I hope one of these will work for you...

It means there's a bug in the installation program... :-) However, it's not that bad. The installation program is not too good at installing packages, but you can always install them yourself (once you get the system up) by using pkg_add. > > I ^C my way out of it and tried to get back into the original installation > program through rebooting and then tried to enter things like the root > password..

(wd2s3 I believe) That's a different problem. What you need to do is give the line: 1:wd(2,a) At the Boot: prompt. Once you get a functional system you may get rid of this by rebuilding the kernel with the config line reading: config kernel root on wd2.

As there seem to be quite a lot of people who have installation/update problems from either tape or dos partitions how about adding the following to both the ftp servers and the CD. 1) A Dos (shudder) batch file to check the subdirectory structure on a dos partition from which FreeBSD will be installed. Not difficult, just a large collection of 'if exist ...'. 2) A *nix script to ftp the distribution to a tape in the right order and form. This should be written very generally so that it could be run on non-FreeBSD machines. I personally do buy the CD and use it without problems at work, however upgrading machines at other locations without either/both an Internet connection and/or CD drive and (maybe) with a shortage of memory usually means a juggling act. Granted this task is straight forward but it is (often) done late at night when human frailty caused lots of mistakes which can be very time consuming. I suspect that an inexperienced (first time) installer can get into serious trouble under these circumstances we may even be loosing users/converts at this stage, not everyone will send an Email to say 'help I got into trouble', many people walk away muttering 'it does not work'. Some small assistance as outined above may well pay rewards well in excess of the effort needed to create the scripts. Unfortunatly to perform optimally the scripts would have to be adjusted for each release and would therefore have to be prepared by the kind, generous, hardworking people at the heart of things. As I said, just a thought, please do'nt shoot if you dissagree.

However, about a month later, once we are ready, they said that they cannot 'cuz anything going through their network would be representitive of NASA? Is this possible? I though that they woulod assign us a subnet, and map it through directly to use. That way, say, our web server, would have a URL like http://www.homestudy.edu, not http://www.homestudy.nasa.gov like they apparently are thinking.

The CD is a quad speed Creative Labs: Dec 18 17:22:01 gatekeeper /kernel: wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): , removable, iordy Clues anybody?

While domain names can be assigned to any IP addresses, any IP addresses on their net are still know to be registered to NASA. Anyone looking at an IP address can find out who it is registered to, and that's what really matters. Getting your own IP addresses wouldn't do you much good either because you'd have to arrange for the correct routing through NASA. In addition, NASA may have firewalls, etc. and they probably wouldn't like an external net connected inside those firewalls. Bottom line: It is perfectly understandable for me that they refuse to make such a connection. I may have done the same if I were in their position.

I was thinking about this last night and remembered something: you must run the 3com cards in non-PnP mode. Use 3c5x9cfg and disable Plug & Play compatibility. Also make sure the hardwired settings are reasonable and plug those values into FreeBSD. That should do it then.

Your best solution, unfortunately, is to buy a IDE controller and connect your stuff to that and disable the onboard.

Normally, it's transparent and included in the wdc controller. Unless someone wanted to hack up a specific driver for it I doubt we'll see anything come of it. Just a hunch, but check the IRQs and make sure the Ethernet card isn't using IRQ 15 or 14.

(pssst... not trying to start a war here) Simply because in userland, your filtering/forwarding rules can be much more complex. In kernel mode, all of the "options" for filtering or forwarding packets has to be available to the kernel code; in userland, the code can go "look up" things as it needs. If your needs for filter rules are pretty simple, a user-mode daemon is overkill. > I'm trying to discern which of the available options makes the most sense > for me... at this instant ipfilter seems the best bet --- feature rich and > good performance (I'm assuming... by virtue of it's kernel > implementation... any testimonials?).

If developed properly, it shouldn't be needed. The distributions haven't changed since 2.0.5 and aren't likely to in the near future, so just do wildcard/xcopy copies and you should plug near everything. I have some neat ideas for this, but it'd require 4dos/ndos....

A subnet is a portion of a specific net, and it relates to the IP addresses, not URLs, specifically not to WWW URLs, which may not be part of the net to which they appear to belong. For example, nasa.gov has a class B network with the address 128.183.0.0. If they give you a slice of this network, say 128.183.197.0, this will be identifiable as a part of the nasa.gov network. On the other hand, if you get yourselves a class C net via Internic, and get NASA to route it for you, this will no longer be identifiable with NASA. This is probably the route you should pursue.

Now we would like to install it on a PC running SCO UNIX (System V/386 Release 3.2). However, this PC does not have a CD-ROM driver. What I'm wondering is that is it possible for us to install it from network? This PC is connected to our intranet and is able to talk to our SunSparc machine (running Solaris 2.x.) The installation file on the CD says something about NFS instalation. But I had difficulty to follow it. Could you tell me a little more about how and where to this CDROM and what to do in SCO UNIX? BTW, could I simply copy entire (or partial) content of that CDROM onto SCO UNIX and install it from there? Your help is highly appreciated!

Ahhh, the perils of maintaining a FAQ :-) My only holdup on a virtual domain at this time is discussion as to shell access and I had the brilliant idea :) I'd just install FreeBSD and do it myself, to heck with all of the ISPs out there each with a different set of rules. I *do* realize I need ot use 35-60MB of my boot disk (my SCSI hard disk) and I saw my Adaptec card on your list of accepted hardware, will assume a Micropolis 3243AV SCSI 4.29GB drive will also be supported. What I want to do however, is run FreeBSD off a Jaz cartridge/disk (1GB removable storage from iOmega) I don't see *any* support for removable storage except CD-ROM, which isn't really "removable storage" ;-] I bought my Jaz for cross-platform compatibilty (I'm on a Pentium and want to work with Mac's and Unix boxes) so I am suspecting FreeBSD will handle it just like it would any SCSI hard disk, but if it *won't* then I can't consider running my own Unix box to be a viable solution to my domain/ISP-rules problem and will have to hold off on going with FreeBSD due to budget concerns. I'd *really* appreciate an honest answer and timely one ;) I've been searching around for answers on this for nearly two weeks, and to me, after 12 years online, hours is too long, not weeks!

The double 'kerberos' comes from the label that is printed when the system tries to start it, and the first part of the error message 'kerberos: not found'.

Yeah, it's a file. Try putting it in /etc, or try naming the file 'host.conf' instead. It's been so long since I futzed with teh Linux stuff I don't remember how to work it.

FreeBSD is oriented more towards stability and security than Linux is. FreeBSD is also less tolerant of flaky hardware than Linux is. There are many such differences. FreeBSD currently has a (weak) DOS emulator in (surprise) Linux's DOS emulator, dosemu. Hopefully, BSDi's DOS emulator 'rundos' will be making an appearance, which will be head and shoulders above dosemu. Yes, FreeBSD has a Linux emulator, a pretty good one at that. It runs a.out binaries only, unless you upgrade to FreeBSD-CURRENT and apply some patches to get the elf recognition working. It's good enough to run Doom, WordPerfect and other such programs. Not device drivers though. Hope this helps.

The floppy drives on this machine are a little on the flakey side, but by disabling both the internal and external cache on the machine I can get them to read the floppy without giving errors (leaving either of the cache's on results in a crc error while uncompressing the kernel). Unfortunately, it gets all the way through the boot process, and the installation menu comes up, and the machine locks up completely. I've tried the boot floppy on another machine, and it starts up fine so I don't think it's the floppy itself. I'm also fairly sure that the floppy is reading things correctly when the cache's are turned off. The machine is a 486dx2 66, 20 megs of ram, 2 240 meg ide disk drives, 3c503 ethernet card (io 300, irq 5, rom 0xc8000), and an et4000 video card. Anyone have any ideas? Suggestions?

One of the READMEs associated with XFree86 gave me very good instructions; as I have forgotten where I got it, I am attaching it here for you. You might want to pull down XFree86 version 3.2 to replace the 3.12 that comes on the CD. I had to, as 3.2 was the first version that supported my video card. > Thanks, > Sudheer > -- > > *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* > * SUDHEER TUMULURU * Research

Many thought it would work. I got the dataflex SCO version installed it and it tended to core dump. The company I worked for became impatient and went out and bought a whole SCO system. Well, guess what? the same software core dumped in the same places on the SCO system. But it was too late. Things proceeded on the SCO system. Some months later, as the company was commited to the accounting system, a new feature of the dataflex software was PANICing/crashing (just unexpectedly rebooted) the system during the run of an important feature. I eventually determined the problem was indeed an SCO operating system bug, which of course, there is nothing we could do about it. So, I suggested we again try running under FreeBSD via SCO emulation. Since at their time there was no other solution. Well, we had some initial config problems, but now it is up and running great. The OS bug in SCO does not manifest itself in the FreeBSD SCO emulation, and the staff are all wondering around the company declaring how much faster the accouting system is under FreeBSD (regularly people report 5 to 10 times faster). (same hardware) So kudo's to the FreeBSD developers. -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 18 15:30:30 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id PAA08556 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 18 Dec 1996 15:30:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailhost.pi.net (mailhost.pi.net [145.220.3.9]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id PAA08551 for ; Wed, 18 Dec 1996 15:30:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from kinchenna (asd93.pi.net [145.220.192.93]) by mailhost.pi.net (8.8.3/8.7.1) with SMTP id AAA05765 for ; Thu, 19 Dec 1996 00:29:35 +0100 (MET) Posted-Date: Thu, 19 Dec 1996 00:29:35 +0100 (MET) Date: Thu, 19 Dec 96 00:19:53 Romance Standard Time From: Guido Kollerie Subject: Buslogic driver and SCSI id's > 7 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.com X-Mailer: Chameleon ATX 6.0, Standards Based IntraNet Solutions, NetManage Inc.

As this is a wide adapater it supports SCSI id's from 0 to 15. This is a list with the SCSI id's in use: 2: Pioneer DR-U10X SCSI-2 CDROM drive 7: BT-958 15: Fast-Wide SCSI-2 2,1 GB Fujitsu M2952QUA harddrive When I try to boot, it recognizes the adapter as a BT-946 adapter. The CDROM (id 2) is recognized but by harddrive (id 15) isn't. Nevertheless the menu appears and I select Novice installation. A message appears telling me a fdisk like program will be used to select a slice/partition. I press continue upon which I get a message saying no disks were found! Is it because my adapter is recognized as a BT-946, which isn't a wide adapter and as a result doesn't support SCSI id's higher the 7, that my harddrive isn't recognized. Or is it something else. There's always the possibilities of assigning the harddrive a different SCSI id, but I prefer a software solution. Can anybody help? Thanks, Guido Kollerie.

This is it in a nutshell: 1) Reboot 2) At the Boot: prompt enter -s 3) This puts you in single-user mode. Press enter to start sh 4) fsck -y /dev/rdw0a 5) mount -u / 6) mount /usr 7) mount /var (else you'll get error message from vi) 8) vipw (uses vi commands) 9) change root's shell to sh 10) :wq 11) exit Now you're back where you started, and can change your shell to whatever you want. Before you logout, check it by logging in as root in another virtual window. BTW, thanks Greg!

The tcsh package is installed as /usr/local/bin/tcsh, _not_ /bin/tcsh. I use bash, and copied /usr/local/bin/bash to /bin/bash so that I can access it even on those rare occasions when /usr isn't mounted.

We don't have ACL's in FreeBSD, so I'm finding it a bit tricky. Below is an example of what I need to do. If you have any insights, alternate approaches, please let me know! My goal is to set up a flexible way of organizing permissions such that collections of users can share files with security where needed. An integral part of the picture is http access, so the user (or group) 'www' also needs read access (unless I run Apache as root, which I don't think I want to do). [Web access permissions (via .htaccess or access.conf) are a separate issue -- let's just limit the discussion to file system access issues]. First let's define what I mean by a "group hierarchy". Basicly, it's a collection of groups associated with a single entity, such as a department, each with a different privilege level. An example: Group Hierarchy 'Engineering' Group Name Membership eng anyone associated with department eng1 full time staff eng2 managers eng3 administrators In implementing this, member users would belong to all groups within the hierarchy down to the level appropriate for them (so a manager would belong to groups eng, eng1, and eng2). What would this look like in practice? Owner Group Mode /dept/eng root eng drwxrwx--- | +- man_only eng2_member eng2 drwxrwx--- | | | (files) | +- man_readable_c eng2_member eng1 drwxr-x--- | +- man_readable eng2_member eng2 drwxrwxr-x | (files) Here managers (members of eng, eng1 and eng2 groups) can have full access to everything. Staff (belonging to eng and eng1) have RW access to /dept/eng, but just read to /dept/eng/man_readable_c/man_readable. .../man_readable_c is a "control directory," a technique that seems obvious to me now but was new to me when I read of it in "Techniques for Simulating Multiple Group Ownership," by Doug Morris, from the October issue of SysAdmin magazine. This seems reasonably workable, but there's no provision to allow the user or group 'www' to have read access. Adding this access into the above scheme seems possible, but a bit goofy. I've achieved it below simply by making 'www' the owner of all "choke point" directories: Owner Group Mode /dept/eng_c www eng dr-xrwx--- | +- man_only www eng2 dr-xrwx--- | | | (files) | +- man_readable_c www eng1 dr-xr-x--- | +- man_readable eng2_member eng2 drwxrwxr-x | (files) This does work, but has two obvious flaws: 1. Security - the user "www" should _not_ have to own the directories 2. Ease of use - a normal user could not achieve the above configuration with normal file system commands. Certainly, though, a few setuid utilities could be written to make this possible... What other approaches exist? Comments? Critiques? In his article, Doug Morris also speaks of a technique of using hard links of directories to achieve a similar effect. This technique could be used in tandem with the above to add more flexibility, but we all know the GREAT EVIL that hard linked directories are. :-) (Morris's article forces me to ask, though, if hard linked directories are actually okay for other OS's, perhaps non-BSD ones?)

Today at work the boss was at home, sick, so when the opportunity presented itself, the mice played. So today we installed FreeBSD on a poor unsuspecting user who has been having no end of trouble with a DOS based X server. Installed FreeBSD 2.1.6R and XF8632 on a Gateway 486DX33 w/ 8M. Xdm presents a login dialog (as expected) but also includes a console window at the bottom. We'd really like to get rid of that console window. How? But even better than getting rid of the console window on xdm's login, we'd much rather have an X chooser displayed where the user could select the system she wishes to login, Just The Way She Always Did It Before. "man xdm" says: For X terminals that do not offer a menu of hosts to get display management from, xdm can collect willing hosts and run the chooser program to offer the user a menu. For X displays attached to a host, this step is typically not used, as the local host does the display management. How can I be "non-typical" and display the chooser on the local host? (Presumably one of the choices will be the local host.)

Or is it best to do it manually? For reference the paths are all fine, I'm running bash, but it doesn't work for a sh session either. startx, xinit, and the XF86_Mach64 are all there. Heck the Xf86Config looks fine even. But none of the X programs work even so. xf86config doesn't even run! And no error messages other than the programs aren't valid commands. This one really has me confused. Thanks for all your help and sorry it has taken a bit for me to get back to this. I have been installing more things on the NT server at work afterhours.

What's the "If I want" part? It enables the OPL FM chip driver, which isn't really used by anything but you can add it if you really feel like it. You didn't have it defined before, and thought I'd throw it in while I was spewing the sound config lines.

I can't say anything about compression, sorry. Rest should work OK though.

Your SCSI controller must see this as a disk and thus must be able to map it as a normal drive. Needless to say, you won't be able to eject the disc unless you want really bad things to happen. 2. Setting the geometry for the Jaz is tricky since it doesn't implement mode sense. I think you just take it as FreeBSD thinks it is, but check the questions and hardware list archives on http://www.freebsd.org/ to see if someone's tackled this already. > I bought my Jaz for cross-platform compatibilty (I'm on a Pentium > and want to work with Mac's and Unix boxes) so I am suspecting > FreeBSD will handle it just like it would any SCSI hard disk, but > if it *won't* then I can't consider running my own Unix box to > be a viable solution to my domain/ISP-rules problem and will > have to hold off on going with FreeBSD due to budget concerns. > I'd *really* appreciate an honest answer and timely one ;) I've > been searching around for answers on this for nearly two weeks, > and to me, after 12 years online, hours is too long, not weeks! > I know, I'm spoiled.

Ouch, where did you dredge that thing up? :-) I would call Walnut Creek really soon and order 2.1.6-RELEASE. 2.0.5 didn't support CDROMs and is over a year old. > What I'm wondering is that is it possible for us to install it from > network?

Just set up an anonymous FTP on your Sparc set up similiar to ftp.freebsd.org, slap a cheap NE2000 or similar ethernet card in the machine, select a custom ftp site, and you should be good. > BTW, could I simply copy entire (or partial) content of that CDROM onto > SCO UNIX and install it from there? Copy over whatever you like. Or even, mount the cd under /pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE and set the FTP Error mode to 'retry' and it should work. I would really, really suggest getting 2.1.6-R first.

Basically attach the terminal to another machine? I tried to do this once and failed. One way I've seen to do it is from the command line with a command like: startx -query x.session.on.some.machine.com This starts X connected to that machine.

To get back to a different virtual console after starting Xwindows you need to use ctrl+alt+F1/F2/F3. This should get you to the familiar login prompt (don't be too hasty with that, if you hit that while xdm is still starting up it sometimes locks your keyboard). 2. It's kind of a flame maker, but running xdm through /etc/ttys kinda makes xdm immortal, because init will restart it whenever it is killed. If you want to be able to kill xdm (and the X server for that mater, as xdm will restart X if it gets killed) you should start xdm from rc.local. For details, look at the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ88.html#88 This way, you can simply kill -9 xdm's pid and be done with it if it really gets up on your nerves.

I have a 815 with two 4x SCSI CDs working off of it and not a problem. Of course, these are complete cards, not just the chip. NCR themselves make some 'sample' boards, and I believe TEKRAM and ASUS have units. My card, the 815, has an on-board Flash BIOS that probes the disks on startup and if I had hard disks attached, would make those available for booting. The 810, 815 and I assume the 825 should work with 2.1.6 and 2.2. Support was just committed for the 875 (AMD & Tekram wide units) in -current. I purchased mine from Insight Electronics; information is available from Symbios's web page at the standard: www.symbios.com. Mine was about $120 including shipping. Drivers for many platforms & manuals are included. Updated drivers available via ftp.symbios.com for your other platforms. Hope this helps.

I always thought tagged command queueing was a nifty extension, not part of the spec. I don't think my NCR is using it; if I use the fancy driver for DOS, I can crash out my CDROM by copying /kernel.IDE from the CD to the DOS partition :( If I use the lightweight direct-access driver it works OK. It's working fine on 2.2-ALPHA here so I shouldn't worry I guess...? Glad you got it worked out though. Strange...

I can just re-run ppp, type 'dial' and it works, even when I have to manually type the default route. Don't ifconfig tun0 before running ppp, it'll take care of that itself. If it's still bugging you, try doing 'ifconfig tun0 down' before starting ppp up again. > p.s. Is there any way to boot FreeBSD from DOS? > I know LILO works for Linux...

Why would that be relevant? The upper serial ports stomp on ATI and some S3 implementations. It doesn't take lightly to FreeBSD's probe of those ports.

Make sure bin.inf is on the first disk. Also make sure that the remaining .inf files make it either on the first disk OR on the last disk of the previous distribution.

As an unprofesional guess I'll say a 2MB compressed boot ROM and 8MB RAM (4MB memory 4MB MFS) would work for many applications. The right thing to do is to prototype with a boot floppy and see what the real footprint is. Something that will have a lot of applicability is a small system that boots off a network with network updateable FLASH and optional full boot FLASH. I realize this isn't what you have in mind, but I think we should stake out the VAX-11/750 configuration (4MB RAM, 128 MB NV storage, good network support) and aggressively ride the constant-performance curve. What will that cost in two years?. Those final two are my working thoughts about minimal systems: network boot FLASH and "VAX-11/750" (I think of it as .750 FreeBSD). Writing device drivers for A2D cards etc needn't be a pain if you have the docs and we modularize the existing ones a bit more. For the type of system you have in mind I doubt there is much of a driver. -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

You can boot to single user mode (`-s' at `boot:' prompt) and use /bin/sh (the default) when prompted for a shell. Then you have to re-mount / with `mount -u /' to be able to write to /. Use either vipw to change your shell back to /bin/sh, /bin/csh, ... or (only if it's in the root-FS) `ln -s /usr/local/bin/tcsh /bin/tcsh'.

Hmmm, I mean what happens if say we had eth0 with the ip of 206.13.17.50 which points to 206.13.17.49 on the PPP link and ne0 setup as just 206.171.98.29 in /etc/sysconfig with the default router at 206.13.17.50, would packets that has a ip of 206.171.98.1-254 be going through ne0 automatically or do we need to add a route line?

In the code it appears that you can attach 32 SCSI CDs without changes. In the MAKEDEV script (on my system anyway) it is limiting you to 7 CDS, and so you'll have to make the device entry points by hand. I assume you want them in parallel and so that a changer isn't an option. -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

I have seen brian's history... My history is quite the same... A Small banking company 1 central and 4 "sites" are all running SCO with a cobol application based on mfcobol. They had the same problems reported by brian: slow, lots of backups, system crashes, loss of data, bad network support... I was asked to "restore" the data files after a system crash, and have the oportunity to install a FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a small pentium 100 (taiwan) as a backup machine with 2GB ide. Once the network operations moved to FreeBSD with nameserver, nis server, ppp, slip, web server and ftpd, I was asked if the applications would run on the FreeBSD. I compile the kernel with SCO support, installed the sco compatible shared libs from a Linux compat source, and the system starts to run. Now there is only ONE SCO remaining, the 4 agencies are moving to FreeBSD all linked together with ppp. Samba is working as a lan manager server making integration with the office pack on windows, without the use of pc-tcp or other software. Now I am buying applixware as a office pack if it works, will replace the windows machines that will run FreeBSD or Linux 2.0. Now the banking company is asking for Compaq prosignia 300 as server for running FreeBSD. Drawbacks: The SCO people does not talk to me any more. Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.

I have FreeBSD, Ultrix, HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, AIX and NeXTstep boxes with their mail spools NFS mounted for a HP-UX server. Corruption has occured only a couple times in 5 years, and the culprit most probably was the pop daemon. NFS locking is not supported on some of the above machines (FreeBSD among them). On other machines (AIX and NeXTstep) it seems hopelessly broken. > > I want to support shell users but I would rather not have mail be on > the same machine. Ideally I would have a dedicated mail machine and NFS > mount the mail directory on the shell machine. Could this work? Yes. My rule is to use *only* mail user agents and mail delivery agents that use and understand the most basic locking mechanism: dot file locking i.e. creation of a /var/spool/mail/joe.lock file when /var/spool/mail/joe is being accessed. Most mail user agents support that, including elm if compiled with the proper options. My mail host is a HP-UX box whose mail delivery agent is procmail. Procmail does support dot file locking. I had to modify Qualcomm's POP daemon to plug in dot file locking (just doing it for qpopper v2.2 right now). Hint: given a mail user agent program, either check the sources or try: strings [-a] binaryfile | grep \\.lock To check if it understands dot file locking. If you get "%s.lock" somewhere, chances are good that it does. _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) (0)1-40-77-96-19 Fax: (+33) (0)1-45-86-80-68 I've RTFMed.

I'm trying to make the fwtk-v1.3 port and running into trouble. 1) When make tries to fetch the distfile it chokes. I went to the tis website and found there new policy of registration. I then downloaded the files into /usr/ports/distfiles ok. That problem is solved. 2) When make compares the checksums, it fails on the documentation tarball. The doc tarball does expand and untar without errors, so I removed the line in MD5 so that it skips the check on the doc file. I assume even if the docs are corrupted that wouldn't be a big deal for the software. In fact the docs are not corrupted, so the checksum must be out of date. This is problem has thus been worked around. 3) Here's the show-stopper. When I run make now it starts compiling and then stops with the following message: cc -O -I... -I/usr/X11R6/include -c child.c In file included from child.c:14: ulib.h:20: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop. I assume this is because it's trying to compile code for X11, which we do not have on the system at all. However, I see no way in the Makefiles to tell it I don't want or need anything related to X11. 4) The documentation appears to be in postscript format. To my knowledge we don't have postscript capability. Anyone know where the docs are in plain text? Any help on points 3 and 4 would be MOST appreciated. We're trying to get the fwtk up today if at all possible. Please respond to my email address (jlwest@tseinc.com) directly as I am not on this list at present. Thanks in advance! J.

Anyway, my question is, again as the case for security capability posted in another email, if I were to propose/recommend FreeBSD as a serious router for a company LAN, WAN and/or Internet purpose, I am mostly concerned with the following issues: - IPX support - the traffic load on an Intel DX4-100 CPU that will handle 3-4 Ethernet segments, basically I do not know where to get some benchmark figures to rate the packet per second throughput for a FreeBSD box configured to do just routing, ie serves no other purpose and hence running minimal number of processes. I realize that the number of LAN it routes among is not a good indication of the actual workload, but I just have to modelor compare it with a known brand such as Cisco or the like. Again, no implication of preference bias towards Cisco, but just the opposite and that is the reason I ask these dump questions. Has anyone fine-tune or customize a FreeBSD box to do just this sort of heavy-duty routing in a LAN and WAN environment and are willing to share some advise ? - how many ed interfaces can FreeBSD be configured to support ? From the LINT kernel config file and other it seems only ed0 and ed1, how about anything beyond 1 ? Thank you very mucho!

I've seen two other responses, both helpful about stopping xdm, but not how to get you using xdm. To summarize: o Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you to the "F1" console. You can login as root there and fix things. o Run xdm from /etc/rc.local rather than /etc/ttys. Now, on to how to *use* xdm: When xdm starts a session for a user, it looks in the user's home directory for an executable .xsession file, which will setup the X client programs to run. If it doesn't find one, it uses it's default, which starts an xterm, twm, and a few other bits. The default is stored somewhere in the xdm configuration directory: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm Go find the default xsession file (sorry, I don't remember its name). Look at it. Look at your current X startup file, whatever that might be, and merge in your settings for window manager, etc. chmod +x your shiny new .xsession file. Logout and log back in. Presto chango, it works! If it doesn't work; i.e. if you get thrown right back out to Xdm, login as root and look at the .xsession-errors file in the user's home directory. Fix the problem it's whining about, remove the file (so you won't get confused the next time it pukes) and login again. Suggestion: leave the 'root' login alone. It may be ugly, but it works. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Sure. As a good starting point, see http://www.pso.com/realtime.html I recommend looking at u/COS and RTEMS in particular.

Writing device drivers for UNIX is certainly no more painful than writing device drivers for any other OS. You at least have a kernel debugger in FreeBSD and *rarely* ;^) have to resort to logic analyzers, o-scopes, etc. Don't let the DOS-heads in the world frighten you about working inside UNIX; at least you have the source to the system, and to other drivers. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I guess this question can be generalized to other OS > as well. I have gone through this, and after much work, reading books and browsing on the network was unable to make Win95 work decently in a diskless configuration without using IPX. What we managed to do was a "minimal" image which would contain the files needed for Win95 to boot and see the network (and a zillion of other probably useless files that we were unable to dispose). This image is a ~15MB ZIP archive. We boot FreeBSD, run a special /etc/rc which uses fdisk&mtools to cleanup the HD, make a bootable MSDOS partition, copy this archive to the disk, then reboots this time from the disk; the ZIP archive is exploded, and a third reboot makes your machine work. You could probably save the second reboot if there were a working vfatfs (or a version of mtools supporting recursive copy). Totally unsatisfactory. As for the generalization to other OSs: if your OS requires loading a thousand files before your network of choice (IP in our case) is in a usable state, you're out of luck. With MSDOS some netboot equivalents that I know of download an image of a floppy which contains all the files you need.

Of course, Software.Com does not support FreeBSD, but they do have a BSDI version. (We don't know why FreeBSD has such lousy third-party software support. It's by far the best Unix, commerical and free.) Seeing as FreeBSD has BSDI compatibility built into 2.1.5, we thought we'd give it a shot. When running the install program, we get a "Bus error - core dumped". We thought you might be interested in seeing if this BSDI program could be made to work under FreeBSD. We'll do anything to get it off of our NT box! The Post.Office software can be found at www.software.com. Thank you very much.

My question is, is there any way to change the print quality? I win95 the printer setup lets you chose Best, Normal, EconoFast(50% less ink), and InkSaver (75% less ink). Thes lower settings are great if you don't want to use up a whole in cartridge in a month. Is there any way I can access them in FreeBSD. Using the PCL command I have changed The quality from Finale to draft. but I would like to get it lower still. Another question I have is how can I print double sided? A think I can set a a filter to do It but I don't know how. The way it works in Win95 is it prints all the odd pages then you tune them over and it prints the even pages.

I believe they're adding IMAP. What's nice about this software is it supports multiple domains, so you can have "info@company1.com" and "info@company2.com" all on the same computer. It also allows customers to control their mailboxes through a web browser. You can't read mail, thank God, but you can configure auto responders that stuff like that. Thanks for the advice.

Could someone send me their (working?) kernel config file for these cards for FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA, so I can make sure its just not something stupid that I'm doing... Also, if there is any special procedure thats recommended for setting these cards up (ie - using CYTEST or the like), please fill me in on that. The FreeBSD handbook seems minimal on the subject. The manpage is great for the ISA, but makes no reference to the PCI version, and the Cyclades documentation says "see the FreeBSD documentation".

What's the "If I want" part? opl0 will get you a sequencer device. It's used by playmidi so that you can do some 'semblance of synth music with your card (e.g. MIDIs). If you really want to do MIDIs on 2.1.6 though, you can get much better results with Timidity (which digitizes the MIDIs using GUS patches and plays them out the PCM side of your card). Summary: if you don't care about synth, you probably don't care about opl0 -- doesn't hurt to include it though.

It is no more difficult than any other area of hacking: X-Window or kernel intrinsics or whatever. You buy a few good books and start at it. My first tty driver took a couple months to complete and polish. Second one took only 10 days. Dennis Ritchie's STREAMS was another learning curve, but in the end is a big win. The last driver was for my DeskJet I wrote to learn C++ and it was limping along in a few days. I agree that you shouldn't listen to any DOS-dweebs; the ones who consider DOS to be the best thing that God ever invented. Bottom line is that if hacking Unix requires more thought it is because Unix is strikingly more powerful. gary kline From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 19 15:20:03 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id PAA19415 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 19 Dec 1996 15:20:03 -0800 (PST) Received: from okeefe.bestweb.net (okeefe.bestweb.net [208.197.0.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id PAA19352 for ; Thu, 19 Dec 1996 15:19:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from [208.197.0.24] (picasso.bestweb.net [208.197.0.24]) by okeefe.bestweb.net (8.8.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id SAA22277; Thu, 19 Dec 1996 18:19:16 -0500 (EST) X-Sender: jordyn@pop.bestweb.net Message-Id: In-Reply-To: References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 19 Dec 1996 18:16:17 -0500 To: Patrick Linstruth From: "Jordyn A.

Virtual domains are very easy in sendmail now that 8.8 is in common use (and compiles quite nicely on FreeBSD), and the procmail man page shows how to set up a few autoresponders. Post.Office generally has good reviews for NT--haven't heard many comments from the BSDi/FreeBSD front, but it's quite expensive so you might want to think about sendmail before giving up and going with Post.Office.

The last time I contacted you was in an attempt to solve an installation problem with FreeBSD and that of the COMPAQ 575-LX system. Now I am in a new workgroup trying to introduce FreeBSD here as well. My trouble is I'm receiving the following error message when trying to install from the FreeBSD CDROM version 2.1.5: "EMM386: unrecoverable privileged operation error #00 - press Enter to reboot." I'm wondering if I tried to load FreeBSD via the use of the "makeflp" program if I'd have better luck. I'm assuming that if I attempt the installation using bootable floppies in order to circumvent the EMM memory problems that I ran into when I tried to use the "install.bat" program from the CDROM the system may let me install the operating system. The question I need answered is how should I go about doing this using the NEC 4000 "Versa" notebook unit? The problem that I have with the notebook is that it allows you to use either the floppy drive or the CDROM drive, but not both. Here is why. The floppy drive and the CDROM both utilize the same slot of the NEC 4000; therefore, when you are using the CDROM the floppy drive is not inserted and vise versa. In addition, I wanted to know if I used a FreeBSD version such as 2.0.5, which I already have on floppies, to load the basic FreeBSD system will I be able to then access the CDROM drive and then upgrade to version 2.1.5 and load the X-Windows portion of FreeBSD? Do you have any ideas how I can perform this process successfully? Have you heard of anyone successfully load FreeBSD onto a NEC notebook computer? If so how did you get around the limitations I am experiencing? I would like to know if you know of any FreeBSD "X" tool installation routine available on the 2.1.5 version CDROM of FreeBSD? What do you think? Have you ever tried installing FreeBSD this way? What are your thoughts on this? Thank for your help!

Is this in a PPro machine? The folks at U of Utah are having a similar problem. Accessing the shared memory on ports on the second set of 16 ports sometimes generates a PCI parity error. The problem doesn't happen for them (or for me) on P5 systems, although there was one report from someone of this happening about once a day under heavy use on a P5 system. It appears to be some sort of hardware/timing problem related to the Cyclades PCI interface. If you haven't already, you might try using cytest.exe to change the card to be mapped in high memory rather than 640K-1M and see if this makes any difference. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 19 19:45:14 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id TAA03525 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 19 Dec 1996 19:45:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from nanguo.chalmers.com.au (nanguo.chalmers.com.au [203.1.96.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id TAA03517 for ; Thu, 19 Dec 1996 19:45:10 -0800 (PST) Received: (from robert@localhost) by nanguo.chalmers.com.au (8.7.6/8.7.3) id NAA01692 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 20 Dec 1996 13:45:45 +1000 (EST) From: Robert Chalmers Message-Id: <199612200345.NAA01692@nanguo.chalmers.com.au> Subject: cpio truncating inode numbers?

Sure. In your ppp.linkup file, I bet you have a line like: add 0 0 HISADDR to add the other end of the PPP link as the default route. If you already have a default route, the route add operation reports EEXIST, to tell you that route already existed. The errno print routine interprets this as 'File exists' because the error messages predate sockets. (!!) If you don't want to see this message, add delete 0 immediately before the add line. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Their maybe several out there but considering what a unholy mess the average legacy program is I doubt they are any good. Keep in mind COBOL is almost as old as FROTRAN (1957 - 1958) and each manufacture had their own spin on COBOL, adding little "features" and miss implemting other languages components. Write a __GOOD__ translator and the world will beat a path to your door.

If `most of' 75% of 85% of all existing code is 15 to 20 years old, then at most 62.5% of all exisiting code has been written in the last 15 to 20 years. Many many more people started writing code since DOS/Windows/Mac started becoming generally available and even the original IBM PC was introduced in 1980. 62.5% seems much too low. Heck, if you just add up the number of lines of code in all the microsoft products..... :-) BTW, I recall hearing similiar statistics 15+ years back! This seems more like an urban legend. Does anyone have a reference to any specific survey regarding number of lines of code written in different languages and their growth rates?

I remember in the past (way back in the 1.1.5.1 - 2.0 days) there was some trouble with partitions larger than 2 gigs. Is this still the case? If so, I'm thinking maybe I can use the ccd driver to serially concatenate 5 partitions on the disk together for use as one large news spool. Which of these options is likely to cause the least amount of headache for me? Thanks for any info - and please respond directly to me, if possible, since I am not subscribed to the lists (I get too much mail already...). Unrelated note: I recently had all sorts of trouble trying to get the BSDI version of Netscape 3.0 running on my 2.1.6.1 box. Turns out I had commented out the 'options "COMPAT_43"' line in my kernel conf file, and for some reason, BSDI (and Linux) compatibility won't work without it. Perhaps there should be mention of this in LINT. Thanks! -------------------------------------------------------------------- \||/_ Alok K.

However, it won't reboot this time. The IRQ of I/O base address of the card are manufacturer configured to IRQ 5 and at 240h, respectively. I got the following message when rebooting: . . . wd0: 814MB (1667232 sectors), 1654 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1 not found at 0x170 bt0 not found at 0x330 uha0 not found at 0x330 ahc1 not found ahb0 not found aha0 not found at 0x330 aic0 not found at 0x340 nca0 not found at 0x1f88 nca1 not found at 0x350 sea0 not found wt0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 mcd0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 mcd1: timeout getting status mcd1 not found at 0x340 and then the machine hung there. I tried to change the board's IRQ and I/O address to different values and it still didn't work. So, is there any utility in Freebsd that I can use to find the current IRQs in use?

However, it won't reboot this time. The IRQ of I/O base address of the card are manufacturer configured to IRQ 5 and at 240h, respectively. I got the following message when rebooting: . . . wd0: 814MB (1667232 sectors), 1654 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1 not found at 0x170 bt0 not found at 0x330 uha0 not found at 0x330 ahc1 not found ahb0 not found aha0 not found at 0x330 aic0 not found at 0x340 nca0 not found at 0x1f88 nca1 not found at 0x350 sea0 not found wt0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 mcd0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed1 at 0x300 mcd1: timeout getting status mcd1 not found at 0x340 and then the machine hung there. I tried to change the board's IRQ and I/O address to different values and it still didn't work. So, is there any utility in Freebsd that I can use to find the current IRQs in use? I remember that in SCO UNIX there is such one (/etc/conf/cf.d/vectorsinuse). How could I configure IRQ and I/O base address? Appreciate your help! PS. Special thanks go to Paul T.

The magazines Datamation and Information Week have published articles on this fact which is where I got the fact. There are a number points one needs to keep in mind. * Mainframe applications tend to be huge. There is an application that runs on IBM mainframes called JEZ3. This program spools jobs. I have been told by a ex-boss who worked on JEZ3 that it is 2.5 million lines of PL/1. My guess is that the entire source code distribution of FreeBSD is under 2.5 million lines. * Microsoft is in the business of producing desktop applications. They have yet to produce a general purpose accounting package or an inventory management system. * The production of COBOL code did not grind to a stand still after the introduction of the IBM-PC. In addition to maintenance and enhancements to legacy systems, new code is still being written. Scan through the jobs listing in your Sunday paper. Look for "DB2", "CICS", "COBOL". * Old applications do get retired. The life span of a mainframe system is a lot longer then people in the PC world are used to. On average, the life span is 15 to 20 years. * Microsoft has, in part, grow wealthy selling only a handful of programs; DOS, Windows, Visual C++, Word, etc. Their Modius Operandi is to write a program and sell many copies. In the mainframe world, each company either has an entire system written in-house or an in-house major enhancement of a purchased system. Sears, Montgomery Wards, International Harvester, R. R. Donnelly, Allstate, all company s that I have contracted at in Chicago, have an in-house written accounting package complete with several dozen of programmers that spend their days baby sitting this package. These packages are approximately 50 to 75 modules each of which is 8,000 to 10,00 lines of COBOL code. This does not include the inventory management system, warehousing, lose prevention systems they have also custom written. * IBM-PC did not really take off in the office until after the introduction of Windows 3.0 in 1990 or 1991. Before that, the PC was considered a Hobbist machine or a toy. The Mac has yet to make significant inroads in the business world except in publishing. As far as business is concerned, the Mac is a cult machine. It seems incredible, but mainframe systems written in COBOL account for 75% to 85% of all the code written since the mid 1950's. This fact is as true today as it was 15 years ago when I also first heard it. Read a few copies of Datamation and Information Week. IBM is still the largest software company in the world, at least several times larger than Microsoft.

Sendmail doesn't think that it is supposed to be accepting mail for bawel.net, but when it tries to send it to the "right" place, it discovers that the only logical place to send the mail is back to the computer that is already handling the mail (in other words, sendmail looks up the MX records for the domain and discovers it is about to pass the message on to itself!). This confuses sendmail. Let sendmail know that it is supposed to be accepting mail for bawel.net.

Look for the network_interfaces section, and either add or modify the line to read: network_interfaces="lo0 ed1" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_ed1="inet 179.208.33.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" Replace with your proper netmask. If you don't have a localhost entry, you can omit it and remove the lo0 from the network_interfaces line.

You can use the 'irq' command to set the IRQ, and 'port' likewise for the I/O base. 2.1.0 and later have a nice 'visual userconfig' that makes this easy. > So, is there any utility in Freebsd that I can use to find the > current IRQs in use?

Those should be on the same line, and the ahc isn't an ISA device. It should look just like this if you have two adapters: > controller ahc1 What card are you trying to use? The ahc driver is for VLB & PCI devices (274x, 284x, 294x, 394x (U/W) & the AIC7870/AIC7880 chips). You probably want the aha for the 154x ISA adapters.

You must be using the 'fbsdboot' program to get this error.

That's hard :( The best way to handle these monsters is to do a net install. The 3c589 PCMCIA ethernet card is supported in the zp driver so you shouldn't have too much trouble getting it to work. > In addition, I wanted to know if I used a FreeBSD version such as 2.0.5, > which I already have on floppies, to load the basic FreeBSD system will > I be able to then access the CDROM drive and then upgrade to version > 2.1.5 and load the X-Windows portion of FreeBSD?

I doubt that FreeBSD will since it requires too much software to fit on one floppy. The dialog library is pretty close as is.

Many new device drivers. . Fixes for security problems (including Sendmail fix) . Faster with some new VM stuff .

This means that you should create an account for yourself and use that. This is to keep you from breaking things by doing things as root (who can delete the whole hard drive without thinking). 1. Login as root. 2. Run 'adduser' and make yourself an account. Make sure you invite yourself into the 'wheel', 'operator', and 'dialer' groups. 3. Run 'passwd' and give root a password. 4. Logout; login as yourself. 5. Anytime you need superuser access, run the 'su' command and give root's password at the Password: prompt.

Apparently kill -HUP didn't force sendmail daemon to re-read sendmail.cf. So, I had to kill -9 and restarted sendmail with /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd . Now, emails to user@mydomain works! Just a little note. Beside adding the MX record: my.domain IN MX 0 hostname.my.domain "DNS and BIND" also suggests to add: my.domain IN A xx.xx.xx.xx (where xx=IP address of the host) I don't know what the use for the additional A record other than it lets me telnet to my freeBSD box without specifying the hostname.

Ouch! Your news spool is not going to be nice. A big disk is *not* how to make an efficient spool. You want to split it up over disks so you can get multiple reads. See the INN FAQ for complete instructions on how to deal with such a setup. > I remember in the past (way back in the 1.1.5.1 - 2.0 days) there was some > trouble with partitions larger than 2 gigs.

And you probably won't want to stripe your disks together, again concurrent access being the question. CCD has made possible the creation of 4 terrabyte filesystems :) so you aren't even close to breaking anything.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk User ppp not hanging up modem. This seams to be a real annoying problem that a number of people have in current and 2.2alpha. I have read some posts on usenet about it. In relase 2.10 and 2.1.5 user ppp would hang up my modem on either a timeout or when I did a close command. Now it does neither. My hardware is an external SupraFaxModem 14.4k V.32bis connected on com2 with a DB25 cable. The modem will hangup fine in Windoze 95 but not in current or 2.2alpha. Since my modem is externel I can just turn it off to close a connect. I can't imagine what people do with internel modems. My system is top of the line, no crappy motherboard here. I just spent nearly 3 hours debuging user ppp. I can't find anything wrong with it. In ppp/modem.c HangupModem is called with the right argument value (flag) and as far as I can tell it is executing the code in the if then else blocks. However, it does appear the code has been changed (since the author) to make -dedicated ppp, which doesn't seam to work when you turn it on. There are comments in the function /* XXX */. I have sean that in the kernel code. Must be a call sign. To close the modem connection HangupModem calls close() (of course) and a number of termios routines. Man I hate termios. I haven't look in my Advanced Programming in the .... (Stevens book), the bible yet to figure out what they do. Have the libraries been touched? The termios stuff could be bugged. I need to add here that some peoples modems may be hanging up like they should. According to the logs and my debugging, user ppp is closing the ppp connection it just isn't hanging up the modem. If you have an Isp (I don't, but I used to) that is nice enough to hangup it's modem then yours will hangup too. I feel that this is something critical. Users with internel modems will not be able to terminate a connection without unpluging the modem cable from the back of their computers. dicen From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 20 22:40:35 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id WAA28519 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Dec 1996 22:40:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts12-line10.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.142]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id WAA28514 for ; Fri, 20 Dec 1996 22:40:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.2/8.6.12) with SMTP id WAA03978; Fri, 20 Dec 1996 22:40:24 -0800 (PST) Date: Fri, 20 Dec 1996 22:40:23 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Patrick Linstruth cc: Doug White , support@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Post.Office Email Software In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Thu, 19 Dec 1996, Patrick Linstruth wrote: > Post.Office does SMTP and POP3.

This isn't a problem for FreeBSD. The system comes configured for SMTP. Install 'popper' to get POP3. I believe there is a combination IMAP/POP3 daemon but the name escapes me. No nice web configurator, but no Web security headaches. An autoresponder is a .forward away. You can also do virutal domains by modifying the Cw entry in /etc/sysconfig and adding the necessary MX entries. > Thanks for the advice.

You'd have to build a filter that figures out what a 'page' is, prints the 'odd' ones and so forth. This doesn't work too well in the BSD printing system since it assumes that once you've submitted the job you can't do any interactive commands.

Does the kernel detect it? Are the settings correct? Use scroll-lock and scroll back or the 'dmesg' command. If it's wrong, either modify & rebuild your kernel or put -c on the boot: prompt and use UserConfig to fix it.

I guess this is because the shell expects an already opened tty etc. I guess what I really need is a hacked getty that instead of launching login will setuid to me and exec a shell.

References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Okay I have an update on the modem. My modem is a SupraFaxModem 14.4k V.32bis externel sold for Macs. I got it not because I used to have a mac but because I needed that type of cable it came with. This modem is set by default not to do anything on a DTR transition. To hang it up you do the correct thing which is escape with "+++" and then execute ATH. User ppp only seams to cut the DTR. So I have now set the modem to be a PC type which will go into command state with a DTR transition. This introduces other problems. Since cutting DTR now doesn't reset the state of the modem, it just hangs it up, doing a redial right after will not work. You have to wait a couple seconds. I can issue special commands to the modem to fix this but these commands are not standard. Actually my modem practicaly has an OS in it, it is so complex. This really needs to be put in the FAQ. I would rather have an escape done "+++" and the an ATH to hang up the modem but atleast it works now. Is this code in the termios library? I haven't look in my books yet. I am posting this to questions, current and stable becuase it applies to all of them. You can configure majordomo not to send duplicate emails for different mail lists. It isn't that hard.

Umm, what's wrong with 'waiting' a couple of seconds? If the line goes down you should wait for the other end to clean up in any case, simply because you never know what caused the line to go down, and waiting 5-20 seconds might clear it up and allow you connect up the next time w/out having to retry. > I can issue special commands to the modem to fix this but these > commands are not standard.

This code isn't in any 'unix-like' system program that I'm aware of. The standard practice on unix machines 'since time began' has been to reset when DTR goes low. Most of this *is* already documented in the FreeBSD handbook.

You can read the docs for your modem and find the command to set up your modem too, instead of flooding the lists. It isn't that hard. Since I'm in a good mood and I have a Supra V32bis doc at hand, I'm even going to give the right commands to you: AT&D2 -- makes modem go offline and to command mode when DTR drops AT&D3 -- makes modem go through a soft reset (equivalent to an ATZ) when DTR drops.

I'm using one (with xntp). It's a cheap DCF radio clock interfaced (self-soldered) with the (otherwise unused) gameport. A kernel driver collects the received bits and a user level program filters the noise and sets the system clock. (Currently running on FreeBSD 2.1.5.) However, nowadays there are easier solutions, not requiring any soldering. One is an interface for the parallel port from Conrad Electronic, D-92240 Hirschau, Germany for ca. 50.- DM (incl WinDOS SW :-). I think also modules for the serial ports are available -- don't know about the protocol. Maybe s/o else on this list has experience with this sort of modules.

The problem of setting up ppp, modems, and in fact, FreeBSD itself is that it depends upon the user reading all information that may be required, and not just moving the little arrow thingy over the "install" button and pressing the left button on the footpad.

He needs to be flamed as well. I have setup majordomo before. You CAN tell it not to send you duplicates. I am NOT seeking help. I fixed the problem without any help. I am trying to work TOGETHOR to fix the problem. I know what the modem commands are (dah). A number of people on usenet have had this problem. Now if you want them to use FreeBSD it would be "nice" if you would put it in the FAQ. Or, you can just have those "lamers" use Linux instead like everyone else.

There is still a *very* small chance that the last three characters in a packet could be in fact three escape characters. Small as it is, I still contend that depending on the escape character/hangup behavior is prone to errors and failure.

We have simple rules about how to use our mailing list resources. These rules were adopted for very good reasons, primarily among them the fact that the people who must actually read and answer these emails are now receiving upwards of 800 emails a day. Even with the aggressive use of procmail, the volunteer support system is very fragile and would quickly break if everyone decided to stop obeying the basic rules of email etiquette at once. 2. People DO break those rules and, if we have time, we send them a note asking that they *please* not do so again in the future. In 99.99% of the cases, we get sheepish replies back about not having read the mailing list charters (under http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources:mail.html) or hitting the wrong button in netscape, and they don't do it again. 3. In this case, you responded to that request by defending your usage of multiple lists, giving every indication that you intended to continue doing so in the future. 4. In response to this, you left us with no alternative but to restate the message in stronger terms, having clearly not understood the extent to which we hold our basic rules of usage to be important. There is no general trend of "disdain" or "pomposity" at work here, this is simply a situation which has been aggrevated beyond any justification by your unwillingness to comply with our simplest and most reasonable policies. If there is any errant behavior to be flagged here, it is yours.

I'm running on a AHA-1542C, FreeBSD 2.1.5, and sd0 is a Quantum XP32150. Until November, I was running the Quantum externally with IDE drives (master & slave), with the primary IDE drive as the boot-up device. I was running FreeBSD 1.1 during this time. I also have internally on the SCSI bus a CD/ROM drive and a QIC-525 drive. During the later part of November, I removed the IDE drives (the system is now IDE free :-) and relocated the Quantum disk into an internal drive bay with it as the boot device, and loaded up with 2.1.5. Since that time I've received several incidents like the following; Dec 15 22:33:46 midnight /kernel: sd0(aha0:0:0): timed out Dec 15 22:33:47 midnight last message repeated 2 times Dec 15 22:33:47 midnight /kernel: sd0(aha0:0:0): ABORTED COMMAND asc:4e,0 Overlapped commands attempted Dec 15 22:33:47 midnight /kernel: , retries:1 They are very infrequent, but not desired at all. There have been suggestions about proper termination. In anticipation of doing this change-over, the new internal SCSI cable was installed some weeks ago and no problems emerged. termination+power is provided by the 8Plex cd/rom drive. The Quantum has it's termination jumper removed, but is also supplying termination power to the bus. However, it has been easy to note that looking at the archive that many instances of this similar thing deals with the 'aha' device. One post (I believe it was dated August 1996) said that it was the result of a driver problem and that it was fixed in "-current" (which ever tree that was at the time and what it has become today I do not know). So, can anybody state that this is a driver problem and if there is a resolution, which version has the fix, or is this a question of cable or termination?

Nate's right, this _is_ standard. What he missed was that Hayes modems (Hayes originated the protocol that's now a defacto standard) used to get around the +++ transparency issue by requiring a 2 second dead time (either before or after the +++ code, I forget which). Hayes patented that delay, I think, which is why modems don't use it anymore. > > > > Most of this *is* already documented in the FreeBSD handbook. > > > > Nate > Nope. Nope. Nope.

Sheesh, get off the tap water. I meant seconds. And I believe Michael is correct that 0.5 seconds is the standard setting - I've always raised it as a matter of course.

I am trying to install the software into a Intel Pentium via the cdrom. I have a HITACHI series cd-rom. Using the boot.flp the kernel identifies the cd-rom, however when I try to install from the cd-rom the setup says there is no cd-rom available. I read the paragraph on IDE CD-ROM drives (page 29) and it says I had to change the cd-rom to a slave drive, which I did. The text also calls for making a boot floppy from /cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp Am I missing something? The book contained release 2.1.5. Any help is appreciated. I have full internet access.
