I have a problem running the Squid proxy on our new FreeBSD server. I know it's something simple.. When I log into the server Squid is running... if I run something heavy on the box such as compiling some software, Squid shuts down on it's own. It only seems to happen under high system loading. Squid is running SetUID Squid.bin and I think it has something to do with the amount of resource a specific user may use?? How can I check this and/or adjust this? I'd like Squid as a user to be able to use as much system resource as needed.

You can. No hub is required, just two ethernet cards and a BNC cable between them. Put one card in your LAN Server machine and one card in the FreeBSD machine. Clients who need to access the FreeBSD machine must use TCP/IP, and that assumes you will have TCP/IP running on the LAN Server machine to route traffic between the clients and FreeBSD. This will also work if you want to use the FreeBSD machine as in Internet Gateway. And with Samba, FreeBSD makes a good DOS/Windows file server too. But it uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP, not raw NetBEUI/NetBIOS. The only weakness in this approach is IBM's TCP/IP stack which will run on the LS40 machine. I'm not sure how well it will perform or how stable it is. My own experience with IBM TCP/IP on OS/2 indicates that it is weak and not completely stable. The other alternative is BSDI, a commercial product which is a close cousin of FreeBSD. I believe they have token ring driver support and it will only cost you about $1,000 which should be a small cost for a company running a LAN Server environment. BSDI directly attached to your token ring will give you the excellent performance of genuine BSD TCP/IP and not IBM's dubious code. And if you wanted to add FreeBSD servers, via ethernet you could attach the FreeBSD machines to the BSDI machine which would route TCP/IP traffic between the token ring and the ethernet.

I Have looked in the FAQ, and documentation on sendmail at sendmail.org I can see part of my answer but do not know how to get it all to mesh well. My problem is this. I need to configure sendmail to allow user "foo" to send mail frome exchange as EITHER foo@foo.com OR foo@foop.com. foo.com being local LAN mail and foop.com being internet mail. I need sendmail to LEAVE the FROM header either foo.com or foop.com depending on how each user sends his/her mail. Then I need sendmail to use the same /var/mail/foo box for both foo@foo.com AND foo@foop.com Sooo.. 1) I need to find documentation on one user having multiple @foo.com addresses. 2) I need documentation on keeping the FROM headers from each seperate @foo.com address. So that the replies go to the right domain. foop.com is a registered domain, while foo.com isnt. so internet mail needs to be able to be replied to and keep the From header: foop.com while lan mail with a from header of foo.com will reply to just the lan. 3) I hope this made sense. thanks for any pointers.

Nothing, if I recall correctly. Some systems (at least MIPS) use *cvt() (where * is a subset of the format characters) as part of the implementation of *printf(). For some reason, this implementation is bypassing the *printf() layer.

Well, I'd say it's right. How do you get that name? What does your system report when it boots? Check it with dmesg; it's probably best just to post the output. To find what you've put on the disk, use 'disklabel -r'.

It > would be nice not to disrupt mail in such circumstances. I've always been opposed to creating more slices on a disk than necessary. In a case like this, I would definitely create only two slices: / and /usr. Create a directory /usr/var and a symlink /var to point to it. > 2) Transfering users - simply copy the /etc/passwd file and shadow passwd ? No, /etc/master.passwd is the one you want.

(i fear that such a > useful feature seems to be unique to AIX) Sorry, there's no way to do this with ufs. It's not unique to aix (the Veritas File System can do it too), but ufs can't. If you allocate all the space to /usr as I suggest above, you won't have much trouble here. About the only advantage I can find in multiple slices is that you can ensure that the usage doesn't take over the whole disk. This doesn't look like your problem, but if it is, the BSD answer is quotas. > 4) Do experienced users actually not allocate all of the space to > filesystems on installation and then allocate on a needs basis, > over the months/years ?

You'll need to create two mailers, one for the Internet and one for your LAN (replacing the default esmtp mailer). You'll then have to add some bits to ruleset 0 so that your LAN mailer is used based on the target machine/domain name being local (probably by setting up a class using ``C{LOCAL}'' or ``F{LOCAL}''), and the internet mailer is used for all other domains. Once you've done this, you can add a ``S='' line to each mailer, pointing at a ruleset that rewrites the sender address so that it's from the correct domain. Don't try to do this stuff unless you know what you're doing ;^P I'd suggest getting O'Reillys 2nd edition Sendmail book if you want to figure it all out.

Since I am confident in the security of my home system, I would like the ability for my "drifter" account to mount and unmount my floppy at will. Unfortunately, I have not been able to figure it out. Yes, I am being lazy in not wanting to su root all the time, and when I am in X, I don't like switching between graphics mode and text mode VTs. mtools are useful for most floppy applications, but not my UFS ZIP drive or cdrom. So, without writing an expect script, is there a way to allow non-root users to mount a floppy drive? Here is what I have tried so far: 1) make sure /dev/fd0* (all forms of fd0, such as fd0a and fd0.1440) have permissions set to rw for user, group, and other. 2) /mnt's permissions are set to 777 (I suppose 666 would suffice as well) 3) I checked /sbin/mount: permissions allow user, group, and other read/execute status. I took that one step further and added suid and sgid bits to that and /sbin/mount_msdos, making sure I chown'd the files root.bin first. 4) And (oh yeah) I tried "man mount" and "man mount_msdos". Unfortunately, there appeared to be no helpful information on that particular topic. 5) I checked the file permissions on /etc/fstab, though I didn't think it would help. It didn't. 6) I even tried the suid route on /lkm/msdos_mod.o, as well, though I don't think that has anything to do with the actual mounting. In all cases, drifter's attempts to mount the device failed, though root can of course do so. drifter$ mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt msdos: /dev/fd0: Permission denied The reason I want to do this is to allow user "drifter" to mount and unmount a floppy (or ZIP) drive by point-and-click while in an X-session. Also, user "drifter" is a member of group wheel. I am using FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. -Drifter ---- drifter@stratos.nospam.net (remove nospam to send) "Ever notice that in every commercial about the Internet, advertising geniuses can't resist having a bunch of kids staring into a monitor, awe- struck, looking at a whale jumping out of the ocean?

The first virtual terminal gets flooded with the error code isa_dmastart:channel 5 busy. If I switch the kernel config to try a different dma X, then the error would be isa_dmastart:channel X busy. Any feedback would be appreciated.

The kernels are compiled for both driver cards at the moment. But even when compiled for only one card type the behaviour is the same.

Is this a GNU bad, or has FreeBSD > done something clever, or (horrors) am I missing the point entirely? Assuming that's really the program, you're missing the point. You're using the function as an array (strerror [0] instead of strerror (0)). I don't know why gcc didn't complain about that, but maybe it's legal (strerror [0] = *sterror). What I don't understand is how you can subscript a scalar function. The assembler output indicates that it's just using the address of the function: LC0: .ascii "read failed: %s\12\0" .align 2 .globl _main .type _main,@function _main: pushl %ebp movl %esp,%ebp call ___main pushl $_strerror ; 2nd parm: address of strerror pushl $LC0 ; 1st parm: format string call _printf Certainly if you change this to: printf ("read failed: %s\n", strerror (0)); things look a whole lot better. Alternatively, you could write printf ("read failed: %s\n", sys_errlist [0]); which is probably what was confusing you.

There seems to be an error in the boot disk - when using the ppp dialup the ppp program gives an error when starting saying that it cannot create /var/run/tun0.pid ignoring this error and dialing to my isp i connected only to find that it could not lookup your ftp server. Problems I like to solve so I downloaded the /bin directory from the distribution and installed it from msdos... BAD MOVE the install errored out on the 16th floppy because of checksum errors. I decided to use what it had installed and i ran the emergency holographic shell. After about 3 minuits of "ls-ing" i descovedrd that the directory /var/run/ dosent exist and thats why the ppp program could not create the tunnell pipe /var/run/tun0.pid using the programs installed from the bin distribution i mkdir-ed a directory called /var/run .... and IT WORKED!!!! Please fix this problem.. a lot of people are tring to install freebsd and if there not *nix gurus they will just give up.

As others have mentioned, you can usually use sprintf to accomplish the same thing. It is a pain, tho, to have to figure out the appropriate fix each time it arises -- there is more that one software package that assumes that the *cvt() family of functions exist. To solve this at one point in the past, I ported versions from Linux's 5.4.7 libc. I also have a man page, but I don't remember where I got that -- I probably found it via Altavista when I was trying to find *cvt. Anyway, here are the RCS files for cvt.c and gcvt.c, and the man page. Compile with -DTEST to get an interactive test driver.

X.fi X.SH DESCRIPTION X.ft B XThese interfaces are obsoleted by printf(3). X.br XThey are available from liblocal. X.ft R X.PP X.I Ecvt Xconverts the X.I value Xto a null-terminated string of X.I ndigit XASCII digits and returns a pointer thereto. XThe position of the decimal point relative to the Xbeginning of the string is stored indirectly through X.IR decpt "" X(negative means to the left of the returned digits). XIf the sign of the result is negative, the word pointed to by X.IR sign "" Xis non-zero, otherwise it is zero. The low-order digit is rounded. X.PP X.IR Fcvt " is identical to " "ecvt\fR, except that the correct digit" Xhas been rounded for Fortran F-format output of the number Xof digits specified by X.IR \(*_ndigits . X.PP X.I Gcvt Xconverts the X.I value Xto a null-terminated ASCII string in X.I buf Xand returns a pointer to X.I buf. XIt attempts to produce X.I ndigit Xsignificant digits in Fortran F format if possible, otherwise E format, Xready for printing. Trailing zeros may be suppressed.

I'm running a FreeBSD server (2.2.1-RELEASE) as my primary Web Server. Up until now I was the only one updating our Web pages, but from now on there will be several others users developing their pages. They already have their user accounts working, my problem is that I can't get mshell to work. I have written a main.men file with the next format: Main Menu 1 Exit this menu {Several Options} ***** 1 cmd=csh {The next commands} But when I execute mshell main I get a blank screen. When I select any menu option, it DOES execute and when the command ends it briefly displays the content of the menu (from the first line up until the *****). But right after that it's a blank screen again... Do you have any idea? Thanks for your time. Carlos G. Andrade Network Adminsitrator.

Both run FreeBSD 2.2.5. One is a desktop that is hard wired into the outside network via the ed0 interface. The other is a laptop that I currently use via user-mode ppp over a modem at home. My ISP (my employer) provides me with a dynamically assigned IP address every time I log on to the network via the phone. The laptop does not have a "real" IP address as of yet. When I bring my laptop to work, I'd like to communicate with the rest of the outside world via a serial connection. I think I can do this by using the desktop machine as a gateway that implements NAT between the ed0 interface and some serial interface. A simple diagram: ed0 serial outside world <===> desktop machine <======> laptop My questions are: 1) Am I right in thinking that this is possible 2) If the answer to 1 is yes, what software should I use to achieve the connection. a) should I use ppp on both the laptop and desktop or b) should I run natd on the desktop and use slip or ppp on the laptop, or c) is there some solution that is better (or actually works). Any pointers or comments would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, A. -- Allan E.

How can i do that without > problems? Well, if you have the ports tree (just the makefiles) installed, you can use those without worrying about whether 2.2.2 is on an ftp site or not. However I think that you can tell sysinstall that you're trying to install 2.2.6(Due out fairly soon anyways)-RELEASE. It'd probably be worth your while to upgrade anyways. You can use cvsup to keep track of the -current (3.0) or -stable (2.2.x) branches. El hombre mas brillante dijo una vez "Cuidado hay NT".

All other logins work ok though under X. Also, if I start X as root and then type `finger', I don't see root listed under the pseudo-terminals anywhere. For ex., if I have two xterms open, finger should report that root is on ttyp0 and ttyp1 but I don't see them. If I start a new xterm via xterm -e login dmm125 &, I can log in OK and `finger' reports me as being logged in on ttyp2.

I usually use the Custom (#7 on -current), and proceed from there. Make sure however, that your disk partitions (#2) and slices (#3) are setup, and that it eventually formats the slices.

If you must, you can enable it by changing the keyword "insecure" to "secure" on the corresponding lines in /etc/ttys, but this is STRONGLY discouraged -- at least in my opinion -- because it will permit root logins from the outside network as well and thus very dangerous.

I have two hard disks, one primary master, one secondary master. I have set aside a partition on the secondary master for FreeBSD, the rest is for Win95. The problem is when I boot, (using booteasy to select OS's), FreeBSD panics with a 'cannot mount root' message. I can boot from a fixit floppy and mount root manually just fine (using mount /dev/wd2s1 /mnt). I have even compiled a new kernel with the line: config kernel root on wd2 in the config file. The strange thing is this, just before it panics, it prints 'changing root device to wd1a'. Why should it say wd1a when I am specifying wd2? Is this a bug in 2.2.2-RELEASE? I know that I am booting the correct kernel from the console messages. I hope somebody can shed some light here. I think FreeBSD is great, but the install process is far from logical, at least in 2.2.2. Help much appreciated, Jeff.

I'm receiving the list again! Ok, big important question here for anyone who can help! Recently, I set up sendmail and fetchmail on my FreeBSD box at home. I have little or no experience with the programs; aside from knowing what they do, I know nothing about how to operate them. In my /etc/hosts file, I have my domain set as magus.inconnect.com. This is purely to distinguish my home machine from inconnect.com and is a dynamic IP (i.e., I'm not registered to InterNIC or any other DNS). The big problem I'm having is with only certain domains (FreeBSD.org is one of them). Whenever I send e-mail to these domains, I always end up with a message from Mailer-Daemon saying that magus.inconnect.com must resolve. Obviously, this is currently impossible (but may become possible in the future). So, to compose e-mail to these domains, I have to rlogin to inconnect.com, invoke a mailx (or pine or whatever) process, compose the e-mail, and send it off. This is becoming quite an inconvenience. I would like to use my regular e-mail program(s) and have everything work fine for all domains. Could any of you help me make this so? I would appreciate any help that anyone could offer! And please don't tell me it can't be done! That would be heartbreaking! Since I am a poor starving college student, I can't afford the outrageous prices for an ISDN/dedicated connection yet.

When I make a new UFS ZIP disk, I mount it and I chown rhh and chgrp zip (I created that group) on the root dir of the ZIP UFS. That of course let's me (or anyone else I put in group zip) write to it as myself/themselves without being root. Now as to the mounting part, I haven't found a way to get mount as an ordinary user. I wish there was a way to give mount access per device to a group, but if it exists I don't know about it. In lieu of that, I use a hack: setuid mount{zip,cd,...}/umount{zip,cd,...} Perl scripts, so I don't have to mess with suing all the time. Examples attached. Now this works fine for UFS disks, and on 2.2.x, it works fine for DOS ZIP disks. But there's some bug on 3.0-current that prevents you from running mount_msdos setuid, so unfortunately we'll need to su for that until the bug is fixed.

For X, in .xinitrc: > xmodmap - << EOF remove Lock = Caps_Lock remove Control = Control_L keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Control_L EOF For syscons, copy /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.iso.kbd somewhere, make these mods: < 029 lctrl lctrl lctrl lctrl lctrl lctrl lctrl lctrl O > 029 clock clock clock clock clock clock clock clock O < 058 clock clock clock clock clock clock clock clock O > 058 lctrl lctrl lctrl lctrl lctrl lctrl lctrl lctrl O And then point keymap="..." to it in rc.conf. You mention dvorak. Just browsing here, I see that there are us.dvorak.kbd and us.dvorakx.kbd keymaps in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps, in addition to the standard us.iso.kbd. So to satisfy your users, what it sounds like you want is a default set of kbdcontrols/xmodmaps in the global profile (shell startup scripts for console or xinitrc for X), and user-overrides in their local profiles (shell startup scripts or .xinitrc for X).

Which one would I pick? Well, if you want to port pine, do: # cd /usr/ports/mail/pine # make install To answer your question, though: If you have the choice BSD, BSDI (I don't think anybody calls it BSDi) and NetBSD, you can probably assume that 'BSD' is less specific, and thus possibly older (4.2BSD or 4.3BSD, depending on the package). BSDI is usually closer to FreeBSD than NetBSD is, so I'd try that first. Of course, you can always run into minor problems in any of the three, and even for FreeBSD if it was developed for a different version.

You can stop sendmail from guessing your hostname by defining the "j" macro. In your /etc/sendmail.cf, add a line such as this one: Djmail.iconnect.com Of course, this is a lie but not too far from the truth. Also, it is probably more useful than some random IP number especially if your account names on inconnect.com and your FreeBSD machine are the same.

Obviously, This is technique that is being used by many sites (including freebsd.org :) to limit spam. A very large chunk of incoming spam is from unresolvable hosts, and very little (to none) of such hosts are sending valid mail. That's the why.

In-Reply-To: <19980126173246.37663@ct.picker.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hi, Use xkeycaps to make a new keyboard mapping for X. Save it as something like /usr/X11/lib/keymaps/dvorak. Then in the user's ~/.xinitrc, add xmodmap /usr/X11/lib/keymaps/dvorak Xkeycaps gives you a picture of the keyboard and lets you change the keymappings around. It is available in the ports. Xmodmap comes with X. For the console, just do kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.dvorak.kbd This works as long as the user is logged in on any one of the consoles, but changes the map for all of them. Substituting iso for dvorak switches it back, but I can't think of any good automatic way to know when to do that. --Neil On Mon, 26 Jan 1998, Randall Hopper wrote: > Jeffrey M.

Thanks for your = > time. startx is the command to start the "X server", whcih handles the graphical windowing environment. the ">&" redirects all output (both normal output and errors) to a file, called "startx.log" in this case. So whatever is going on (e.g., an error message), is being directed to this file and that is why you don't see anything. Best bet would be to type "more startx.log"! At some point you'll probably want to configure your X Server --use XF86Config to do this.

If you installed it at system install time with sysconfig, simply run `xf86config', answer the questions, then run `startx'. If you didn't, then, well, it gets messy. You have to grab the correct chunks (and there are several) and install them with `tar xzf file.tgz' from /usr/X11R6.

If you don't have a DOS partition, just put it on a DOS bootable disk and run it from that.

Before the system boots, when the boot: prompt appears, the default does seem to be wd(1,a), which works, well it finds /kernel anyway. If wd1 is in fact the second HD as you state, how come 'mount /dev/wd2s1 /mnt' works, but 'mount /dev/wd1s1 /mnt' fails? I have tried the generic kernel as well, which should automatically try to find the root partition on the boot device. This fails also with the same 'cannot mount root' message. Maybe I should move the secondary master to the primary slave, leaving the secondary IDE port just for my CDROM. I would post the output from dmesg if I could, but I need to make it boot properly to do that. ;-) Thanks for the reply, Jeff. >On Mon, Jan 26, 1998 at 10:23:29PM -0000, Bond, Jeffery wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.2 on a partition on my PC.

I use amd to mount CD-ROMs and floppies automatically. It took ages to get the config file right, but it works pretty well now. The amd manual is somewhat cryptic, to say the least. There is another paper on it somewhere in /usr/share/doc that is a little more helpful. If you are truly stuck I can send you my config files -- unfortunately they are on the wrong end of a dialup link just now.

As long as your modem port is detected at boot time and the modem understands the usual AT command set it will work. To get the absolute best performance you might need to play with the init string that ppp (or whatever) feeds to the modem. The .ini files for your Win95 drivers probably have a suitable string hidden in them somewhere, otherwise try your modem manual or one of the sites on the net that maintain databases of init strings.

Aside from normal "enhancements", according to microsoft's bug site, one version (Word6 or Word7(95)?) produces RTF that is so far out of spec that it cannot be read by other microsoft products. Supposedly later versions have fixed this, so any RTF produced by that one particular version of Word will be atypical. RTFtoHTML does a great job if HTML is what you want, but usually it's not. StarOffice and a .doc file might be the best way if it's the bad-RTF Word. We still don't have, and could use, any free RTF converter. -- Regards, -*Sue*- From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 27 05:55:56 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id FAA20851 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 27 Jan 1998 05:55:56 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from po4.wam.umd.edu (po4.wam.umd.edu [128.8.10.166]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id FAA20813 for ; Tue, 27 Jan 1998 05:55:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kee@wam.umd.edu) Received: from rac3.wam.umd.edu (kee@rac3.wam.umd.edu [128.8.10.143]) by po4.wam.umd.edu (8.8.8/8.8.7) with ESMTP id IAA14825 for ; Tue, 27 Jan 1998 08:55:40 -0500 (EST) Received: from localhost (kee@localhost) by rac3.wam.umd.edu (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id IAA06940 for ; Tue, 27 Jan 1998 08:55:38 -0500 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: rac3.wam.umd.edu: kee owned process doing -bs Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 08:55:38 -0500 (EST) From: Byoung-Kee Yi To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: [help] mcopy failed.

Since Java is available FreeBSD (the Sun JDK 1.1.5 is available at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/jdk115/jdk115/), I would believe any of the Java Mobile Agent Facilities should work on FreeBSD. In the case of Voyager, the UNIX version is simply a compressed tar file containing the Java archives and sample sources, which is just as easily uncompressed and unpacked as any other tar archive... In particular, I briefly used Voyager 1.0.1 on a previous JDK (1.1.2?) on my FreeBSD 2.2-stable machine last fall. I only tried compiling an example Voyager agent class without actually executing it or a Voyager server, but it should have worked had I tried executing it.

If you use 'adduser' it might complain a bit, but you can safely ignore the warning messages. Additionally if their login shell doesn't appear in /etc/shells they won't be able to login via FTP, but that's probably a bonus anyway. Oh, and bear in mind that most mailreaders etc. have 'shell' and 'pipe' options which will allow people to gain shell access and/or execute commands on your machine.

I've patched ftpd.c to do what your asking, the way it works is as follows.. o User logs in e.g. user = kronus o Ftpd checks to see if the user's name (in this case, kronus) is listed in /etc/ftpwww o If it does exist then ftpd will change directory to /usr/local/www/data/kronus o It it doesn't it continues as it would normally. I've attached the tarball to an e-mail sent to your address, if anyone on the list wants a copy just ask and i'll forward it to you.. To install it, login as root and enter the following commands (all on one line), replace filename.tar.gz with the name of file ... mkdir /tmp/ftp ; cp -f filename.tar.gz /tmp/ftp ; cd /tmp/ftp ; tar xvzf filename.tar.gz ; make ; make install then just type make ; make install All you have to do then is to create /etc/ftpwww and put the user's in who you want to be automatically chdir'd to /usr/local/www/data/{username} If you need anything else adding just give me a shout..

How have you installed it? If you did not use the "port", then this is probably the root of your problem. There are some things the port takes care of for you... Mostly, you want some kind of shell-script like this to start netscape. The port installs something likethis in /usr/local/bin/netscape: #!/bin/sh export XKEYSYMDB ; XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6//lib/X11/XKeysymDB export XNLSPATH ; XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6//lib/X11/nls export XAPPLRESDIR ; XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6//lib/X11/app-defaults export CLASSPATH ; CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/lib/netscape exec /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.bin $* #EOF Also, the port would have read this to you: Note: If Java applets fail to display. Type this as root: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir chmod 444 fonts.dir And then exit and restart your X server.

My theory is that xscreensaver in 2.2.5 has a lot of spawning failures, and something is leaking heap memory.

Cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Someone I know has ordered an HP SureStore DAT8 external tape drive for backup purposes on a few FreeBSD 2.2.2 boxes he's setting up. Since I'll be the guy hooking it up I thought I'd ask a couple questions: First off, does FreeBSD support these drives? (that's kind of important) and if so: Looking at the HP datasheet (www.hp.com/tape/datasheets/dat8.html) we have: C1529H HP SureStore DAT8e - 8 GB* external DAT drive for PC C1552B HP SureStore DAT8eU - 8 GB* external DAT drive for UNIX He ordered the C1529H/DAT8e (PC version). I'm wondering how much of a diff there is between that and the C1552B/DAT8eU (Unix version). Last HP drive I used (can't remember which) it was simply a matter of setting the jumpers differently. Is there more of a difference with this model (i.e. there's no way we'll get the DAT8e to work) and therefore the guy should change his order? While we're on the topic I've also heard that DDS-2 dat tapes have a very *short* lifespan, i.e. write to them half a dozen times and you may as well throw them out. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks. -regards, markjr Please cc via email, as I only sub to the freebsd isp and security lists.

Unfortunately, no, but your problem is that you have too little bandwidth for what you're trying to do. If you're using only one B channel for data, you're only getting 64Kbps, which will flood very easily (it's only .5% of the bandwidth provided by standard Ethernet). Bonding the channels gets you 128Kbps, which is still 1% of Ethernet. I believe there is some rate-limiting software available commercially.

Checking my threads programming book, FreeBSD follows the UNIX International convention, but we don't have fork1(). :-) You might be able to get around this by using vfork(), as long as the *first* thing you do after the vfork() is exec() or execve() or whatever. If you modify memory in any way bad before the exec() bad things happen.

(ISBN 0-13-172389-8) is a good general reference for pthreads and Solaris threads. The book assumes a Solaris development environment and FreeBSD pthreads has it's own tweaks and not-yet-implementeds but is decent enough to get started. It addresses many threads programming issues such as synchronization and fork() strategies.

If it's complaining about logins, it sounds like the FreeBSD box can't login using user `ftp' which should be a synonym for `anonymous'.

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5 on a multihomed machine that is acting as a gateway and packet filter for our internal network. The machine is configured with two ethernet cards and two distinct IP addresses and seems to be working fine, except that after adding the second interface and IP addresses kerberos authentication no longer works properly. Here is the configuration: External Interface: vx0 (3c900) - IP Address: 206.168.149.240/24 - DNS Name: stalker.plinet.net Internal Interface: ed2 (generic NE2000) - IP Address: 207.174.1.254/24 - DNS Name: tvcn-gw.tvcn.net Kerberos Configuration: krb.conf PLINET.NET PLINET.NET stalker.plinet.net. admin server PLINET.NET tvcn-gw.tvcn.net. krb.realms stalker.plinet.net. PLINET.NET .plinet.net. PLINET.NET .tvcn.net. PLINET.NET As I understand it this should allow kerberos to work correctly, however, I get this error message whenever I log into the machine (at the console): krb_bind_local_addr: bind: Invalid argument krb_bind_local_addr: Can't bind local addresssu: kerberos: unable to su: Can't send request (send_to_kdc) And this message appears in the /var/log/kerberos.log 27-Jan-98 11:57:16 Initial ticket request Host: 207.174.1.254 User: "bshoe" "" I had this working correctly before I added the second ethernet card and IP address (when the machine was standalone) but now that I'm trying to configure it as a gateway/firewall ... it doesn't seem to be working properly at all. And before you ask, I have made sure that kerberos requests are getting passed through correctly in the firewall. Thanks in advance.

Have you taken a look at "picoBSD", a one floppy(!) FreeBSD which which apparently does not even need a hard disk for installation. ---------------- Andrzej Bialecki wrote about this in freebsd-isp list. Here are some snippets from his email ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/picoBSD/* [snip] What is PicoBSD? It's a one floppy version of FreeBSD configured mainly for networking applications. It can be used as a router or firewall, or kind of a fixit floppy (or all of them). [snip] I think most of you will enjoy the pbsd-s.tgz file bundled with the floppy. It contains all of the scripts (plus ash [a Shell]) needed to create your own version of PicoBSD. These are exactly the same scripts I used. End email snippets from Andrzej Bialecki ---------------------------- Sounds fascinating (at least to me).

What mail difference between isc-dhcp&wide-dhcp ? These comments relate to the client side, for server side I've only used ISC. I tried both recently on my laptop. I tried wide because that's the one suggested by PAO, and for the card in / card out stuff it works better than ISC. But wide doesn't seem to set the default gateway so I'm using ISC which does set the default gateway. The way in which wide works better is that its client dies when you pop out the ethernet card but ISC's client keeps running. This basically means that the ISC version is only good for one card insert. If you pop your card in and out for some reason it won't get config'd the second time around Since I don't pop the cards, ISC works fine for me.

I had just got sendmail working correctly that I could post to the freebsd list and have the right headers in my message. Some kind person had helped me out and showed me how to use CPREDIRECT in my sendmail.cf to make everything right. I have got my headers right in my mailings now and can post to every list I am on except the freebsd one. It still regects my mail starting that the domain is not valid. Unfortunately it is seeing the fake domain which I named my machine and not my ISP domain like everyone else is. If this person would help me again I would appreciate it. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to write down or save his email address before my crash. If anyone else could help I would appreciate it.

You have to put the install files on a Primary DOS partition running FAT16, probably drive C:. With Win95B you could be running FAT32 which FreeBSD doesn't support; you can check this by getting properties on the drive.

Is it straight forward ? The main problem is that you have to adjust the partitions to make room for FreeBSD and undoing that is very difficult without backups. FreeBSD goes onto it's own partition (drive letter in DOS-speake) so that means removing part of the existing one. Other than that, you just trash the FreeBSD partition, create a DOS partition, and format it...

You may need to recompile it to support "System V interface definition-style interprocess communication, in the form of shared memory, semaphores, and message queues, respectively." by adding these lines to your kernel configuration: # # These three options provide support for System V Interface # Definition-style interprocess communication, in the form of shared # memory, semaphores, and message queues, respectively. # options SYSVSHM options SYSVSEM options SYSVMSG That seemed to work for me. I don't know which are required and which are not. I just copied all three options from the LINT config. and recompiled, and KDE's help worked just fine for me. Aaron out.

Do I have to play with the routing tables? If you haven't touched the routing tables, then that is where you need to work. To check if you're at least connected to the NIC, start up a pig and watch the traffic light. (Shoot, the 3c900 doesn't have a net traffic light. ;-/ netstat -i becomes your friend here.)

I don't recognize these part numbers, but they appear to be different drives. They're all DDS-2 with compression, though. "8 GB" is marketing hype. In practice you'll get about 6.5 to 7 GB, depending on your files. > Is there more of a difference with this model (i.e. there's no way > we'll get the DAT8e to work) and therefore the guy should change his > order? I can't see any reason why the C1529H shouldn't work. I've checked out the web page (http://www.hp.com/tape/datasheets/dat8.html), and the only differences seem to be mechanical and electrical. About the only important difference is the MTBF, which is best for the internal version (which you don't mention). The C1529H is noted to work for SCO UNIX, UnixWare and HP-UX, so I can't see any problem with FreeBSD. > While we're on the topic I've also heard that DDS-2 dat tapes have a > very *short* lifespan, i.e. write to them half a dozen times and > you may as well throw them out. Can anyone shed some light on > this? I've been writing to the same DDS-2 tapes twice a week for about 18 months. Some of them are beginning to show higher error rates. BTW, note that DDS-1 tapes (60m and 90m) are *much* cheaper than DDS-2 (120m). You'll get about 3.5 GB on a 90m tape.

The telnet streams work best if a 5250 data stream is used but you can connect as a vt100 terminal but you loose functionality. http?

There have been comments on the rc5 list to the effect DES doesn't lend itself to the PPro and optimization. Also the Bovine effort has had much less time thinking about and improving their DES code than the RC5 code.

Take alook at the kbdcontrol(8) program. You can use it to dump the keymap and then load another. You will need to add a little code to reload the modified keyboard on every reboot. Maybe there is an option for this in rc.conf. You should take alook to see if it is already covered there. Basically you want to replace all occurences of 'boot' in the keymap with something like 'nop'. cheers, Adrian -- adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| If I were stranded on a desert island, and System Administrator --->>>| I could only have one OS for my computer, Neurosurgical Visualzation Lab -->>| it would be FreeBSD.

Well, I can't speak for sticking stuff on the web page, but if you have the ports collection installed on one FreeBSD machine, you can check the Makefile for the port you want. For instance, from /usr/ports/security/sudo/Makefile: MASTER_SITES= ftp://ftp.cs.colorado.edu/pub/sysadmin/sudo/ Many of them have several sites to try, also. You might well have to do some patching to get it to compile cleanly onder Solaris or Linux, though. Also, have you considered using archie? I've had a fair bit of sucess using xarchie in the past to find things I needed. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 27 23:29:55 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA10862 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 27 Jan 1998 23:29:55 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from dt051n19.san.rr.com (root@dt051n19.san.rr.com [204.210.32.25]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA10857 for ; Tue, 27 Jan 1998 23:29:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Studded@san.rr.com) Received: from san.rr.com (dougdougdougdoug@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by dt051n19.san.rr.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA12189; Tue, 27 Jan 1998 23:30:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Studded@san.rr.com) Message-ID: <34CEDE78.9BDB07EE@san.rr.com> Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 23:30:00 -0800 From: Studded Organization: DALnet IRC Network X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Leif Neland CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: doc-(less-than)-all References: <926_9801191602@swimsuit.swimsuit.roskildebc.dk> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Leif Neland wrote: > > I saw here some time ago, that "doc-all" is the tag to cvsup for docs.

Secondly: I would like to install an SMTP relay between our internal mailserver and the Internet on a firewall. I could probably use Sendmail to do this but is there another package (cut-down version of Sendmail perhaps?) which will relay mail to(/from?) our internal mailserver and still provide appropriate spoof filtering?

hello,

i have a copy of freebsd running on a test machine.
this machine handles it's own primary dns, email and
apache web server. everything is working fine, but the
popper daemon intermitently sends a message to the
screen:

"the date" popper[a number] (v2.4b2) Unable to get canoical named of client,
err = 0

also, the sendmail daemon hangs on startup, i must cancel during the
boot up phase and start named and sendmail daemons once the system
is up and running. i tried putting the domain name in the sendmail.cw file,
and have tried various other settings. no go.

once the system is up, everything runs fine.

any ideas?
 

It means that some hosts in you local network live without  DNS (or etc/hosts). 

thank you

I'm a couple of issues with ppp logs that I can't seem to get around. 1) It seems that I can't simply create a file called ppp.log in /var/log and have ppp use it. I've ensure the proper rights and the owner as root:wheel but no luck. The next time I bring up ppp the log remains empty. 2) My ultimate goal is to create up to 16 dial-out ppp connections. I'd like to have a separate log for each session. According to the System Manager's Manual I can do this by creating a link in /usr/sbin to ppp and calling pppX where X is a variable. Also, the appropriate entry in /etc/syslog.conf must be entered. I do this and reboot but again, when I bring up ppp the logs remain empty. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can dial into the desktop already, it's a matter of running ppp on a different serial port and using a null modem cable between the laptop and desktop.

Make sure you get the PCI version of the video card (I don't believe there's much support for the AGP version yet). I was wondering if the Plug-n-Play code is in 2-2-Stable yet, or if it's still separate. Does it work well with SoundBlaster PnP cards like the AWE 32 PnP, PnP 32 (non-AWE), AWE 64 PnP? Aaron out.

There is your problem -- the system doesn't number the disks properly if you have a device in the middle (like a CD). If you get the message: panic: Cannot mount root At the end of the probe sequence you should either: 1. Have the line: config kernel root on wd2 in your kernel config, OR: 2. Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other parameters unchanged).

As I said in a previous message, I installed -current (1998-01-24 SNAP) on my laptop, with XFree86 v3.3.1 The laptop has a Cirrus Logic CL-GD7548 SVGA chip with 1 MB memory and an 800x600 DSTN LCD panel. When I start the X server, the screen appears (about) 70 pixel shifted to the right, with a black border on the left side, and a lot of (waving) horizontal stripes. Luckly, if I switch the output to the external monitor connector and than back to the LCD, it becames perfectly clear and stable, without the 70 pixels offset. BTW, if I press CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch back to the console while te screen is in the "weird" state, I get a weird console :) What I mean is that I get an almost all white console, with whiter characters here and there, but repeated 3 times in 3 big horizontal stripes. Of course, if I switch the output the console goes fine... Moreover, it works perfectly after a suspend (I'm using the SaveToDisk feature of the Phoenix Bios). I'm really stymied... Well, that's not a Big Problem(tm), you know, it works, you just have to remember to switch out then in again the VGA output, but...

I don't, my clients can be ANYWHERE. I need to reject email based on their return or sending addresses, NOT the ip. I need to have a file with a list of "allowed" domain names. If abc.com is in the file, then mail to or from abc.com is allowed, REGARDLESS of whether the sending machine is abc.com I know this may sound a little testy, but I'm getting lots of email along the lines of "hey, dumbass, use the rules posted on xxxx" when those rulesets don't address my needs at all.

Tim FSCI From: "Steve \"Stevers!\" Coile" To: redhat-isp-list@digitalpla.net, linuxisp@jeffnet.org cc: tim@futuresouth.com, sendmail@sendmail.org Subject: antispam.m4 1.0 for Sendmail 8.8.5 and above I have released version 1.0 (up from 0.2.4) of antispam.m4, an M4 configuration file for use with Sendmail 8.8.5 or above (including 8.8.8 as distributed with RHL 5.0, as I understand) that provide some smart processing of incoming mail to determine how trustworthy the message is. The ultimate goal of the configuration file is to provide more restrictive relaying services that prevent bulk mailers (spammers) from relaying their junk through your mail server to users on some other system. At the same time, the configuration attempts to be intelligent about how it determines what is and is not legitimate relaying, and provides intuitive configuration files that allow you to identify specific domains, hosts, and even specific e-mail addresses that may and may not use your mail server. Another big plus is that the M4 file is heavily commented. If you want to learn how to code Sendmail rulesets, you might find this file a useful resource. The configuration is not in RPM format, but it's pretty easy to install. Complete, step-by-step instructions for installing the configuration are included on the Web page (below). The instructions assume the use of Red Hat Linux 4.2. I use RHL exclusively, and have no idea how Caldera OpenLinux and Debian (and the others) make Sendmail's M4 configuration capabilities available. Version 1.0 has some significant changes over 0.2.4. If you were using 0.2.4, please make sure you read the Web page carefully and note the differences. Specifically, note the new "client.allow" and "client.deny" files and how they change the operation of the filter. Information about the "antispam.m4" Sendmail configuration is available at the following location: http://www.patriot.net/users/scoile/isp-redhat/sendmail/antispam Comments welcome. -- Steve Coile P a t r i o t N e t Systems Engineering scoile@patriot.net Patriot Computer Group (703) 277-7737 From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 28 15:03:38 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA13610 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 28 Jan 1998 15:03:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from helmholtz.salk.edu (helmholtz.salk.edu [198.202.70.34]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA13535 for ; Wed, 28 Jan 1998 15:03:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bartol@salk.edu) Received: from dale.salk.edu (dale [198.202.70.112]) by helmholtz.salk.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA10625 for ; Wed, 28 Jan 1998 15:02:21 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 28 Jan 1998 15:02:20 -0800 (PST) From: Tom Bartol To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Trouble making ports Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hi, I've just recently upgraded my 3.0-current system from December-current to today's current.

No, it assumes you know what addresses you consider local to your system.

The rules do provide for testing recipient domains against a list of names. The rules do assume that you only allow users on your network to _originate_ mail and LocalIP handles that very well. If you want to allow a client who uses an, eg, AOL dialup to send mail using your mail server use the rules from http://hexadecimal.uoregon.edu/antirelay/ > I know this may sound a little testy, but I'm getting lots of email along > the lines of "hey, dumbass, use the rules posted on xxxx" when those > rulesets don't address my needs at all. You need to phrase your question better. I don't remember your saying that you wanted a client to be able to use your server from any account, anywhere. You may have, but I don't remember it.

It's normal: it's looking for other disks, and it's not going to let them get away if they're really there. There's a way to fix it. Remove the definitions for the non-existent disks and controllers from your config file, and build a new kernel.

During my internet journeys I found this. http://heplibw3.slac.stanford.edu/FIND/FREEHEP/SECTION/operating_systems/INDEX http://heplibw3.slac.stanford.edu/FIND/fhadding.html It seems that FreeBSD might be able to add the OS to this list. This might help that terrible plight we suffer that most people think "U N I X L"ike OS is an anagram for Linux and therefore only Linux=='UNIX Like'. I personally would like to see O'reilly change all Linux references in their texts to FreeBSD! Please let me know if this is at all useful.

In case this is just a msg composition typo, I'll go on to describe my setup. 3.3.1 X11R6 install doesn't deliver an nls (no past version has AFAIK), so I've been using the nls files that came out of the Netscape pre-4.x packages: > ls -l nls total 5 -r--r--r-- 1 rhh staff 3098 Oct 21 1996 C -r--r--r-- 1 rhh staff 4 Oct 21 1996 nls.dir I installed these off /opt/lib/X11/nls (just because I don't like to mix my mods with package dirs), and set the XNLSPATH env var in my /etc/csh.cshrc to point there. BTW, the dir has 755 perms. I notice there's also a symlink in my nls dir that is a full-path symlink to that same dir -- beats me (don't remember creating it).

Which message? People, I don't know what it is, but we keep getting messages like this one. "This message". "The machine prints out an error message and then quits". "I try this, but all I get is an error message". I just got a reply back to a question "what is the output of this command (an ls -l)". It read "there are lots of lines of the format -rw-r--r-- (stuff) (size) (date)" This messages exist for a purpose. If you want any help from us, please supply information.

This is the second motherboard about which people are reporting problems with the serial ports (the other is the IWill P55XB2). Both have TX chipsets. Possibly we're not too good with the timing on these boards. I'm forwarding this to -hackers, in case somebody there has an idea. You can help us: 1. Reboot and enter the config editor 2. Set the flags for the serial ports to 0x80 3. Send in the output of the dmesg program. This also goes for anybody else who has this problem.

What I see here is a file that was created only two hours ago, if your time zone is right (USA CST). Try this: next time it happens, reply 'y'. Then enter: # fsck /var I would expect it to no longer complain. The other thing to do is to check whether your shutdown works properly. It's possible that you have a process which isn't stopping on SIGTERM. Do you get a 'giving up' message before reboot? That could be the problem. Do you know your 'From:' address is screwed up?

However, my machine is connected to the internet via dialup, and its name is different from that of the isp's. It's name does not resolve to a real ip address. Consequently, the message can't be sent. Is there a way to get the message through? And, how I can I make sendmail masquerade as the real hostname? Is a sendmai.cm file valid? Thanks.

If you need help in working out which one it is, please ask. It is unlikely in the extreme that there is anything wrong with the timing, as the PCI-ISA bridge is configured by the BIOS and not changed by FreeBSD. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 28 22:03:59 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA05528 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 28 Jan 1998 22:03:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from www.followme.com ([207.139.238.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id WAA05519 for ; Wed, 28 Jan 1998 22:03:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jvalens@followme.com) X-ROUTED: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 01:04:02 -0500 X-TCP-IDENTITY: Jvalens Received: from followme.com [207.139.239.43] by www.followme.com with smtp id 01522a60 ; Thu, 29 Jan 1998 01:03:42 -0500 Message-ID: <34D01B91.8017569F@followme.com> Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 01:02:57 -0500 From: David X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (WinNT; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: UNIX Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" The question that I have is by lraening FreeBSD will I be able to more to a ture UNIX system ie: solaris?

Binary doesn't change anything. *Serveral* times I have moved a webpage site from one host to another. I used command line FTP, Not a Win95 program such as CUTEFTP or WS_FTP , Each time i've done a mget to pull all the files. As long as I change modes to ascii from binary I can go to the site ( in a browser) after the transfer and nothing has changed as far as the formating of theHTML document. But if I don't change to ASCII and stay in BINARY , Since I just transfered the JPG's and GIF's also, the HTML formating ie.. tabs, Returns, end of lines, any formating I've done will and was wiped out and I had to take the page back into an editor, and reset all the formating codes. Maybe I was doing something wrong but I'm tired of haveing to redo a page every time I don't change to ASCII when i transfer a TEXT file with page formating encoded such as an HTML document.

Well, if you've gone in with an editor, you'll know what's changed. What is it? Here's a thing to try: pull in the same web page in ascii and binary, and run diff against it: $ ftp remote-site ftp> bin ftp> get web-page.html web-page.bin ftp> ascii ftp> get web-page.html web-page.ascii ftp> ^D $ diff -wu web-page.bin web-page.ascii I'd be interested to see what the differences are. About the only thing I can guess is that the other end does something funny, but that's unusual.

I get the machine (a Digital Venturis P60 with 32MB Ram, 4x CDROM and a 3COM Network card) to boot using the FreeBSD Boot Floppy. I can get through the configuration stuff however, as soon as the install gets to adding the "default route" it just hangs and eventually times out. It appears to have found the network card alright (no error messages on V2). I have an NT 4.0 server running as my router which is currently allowing a Win95 box to go through the connection fine so I don't think that is the problem. For some reason it just doesn't appear to be seeing the network (Base2). Any suggestions for what I need to look at ? Any/all help would be hightly appreciated.

Direct access to registers is available; see the io(4) manpage. You can access parts of physical memory via /dev/mem; you are probably trying to access an ISA adapter, so you should be OK using mmap() to map portions of /dev/mem into your application's space. You don't use inb/outb to "gain access to memory". Depending on your other requirements, you may still need to write a device driver.

On it I have win95 on a primary partition of 500 megs, (2) 1,024 meg partitions for data and programs (both are formatted dos and used by win95), and a 500 meg unformatted partition ready for FreebSD 2.2.5. I boot from the floppy and I get to the partition manager. It says to create a slice by selecting an unused partition. I see a 50 k unused partition, the 500 meg dos primary, the 2 gigs of extended dos, and an 8 meg leftover unused partition, but I can't get to the 500 meg. I can't see it or select it, so I don't know how to claim it, create the slice, and move on wityh the install. I'm trying for a dual boot win95/freebsd 2.2.5 machine. Can anyone offer me any clues on how to find my partition and complete the installation properly for a dual boot? I've practically memorized the faqs on freebsd.org.

Setup: * It allows users to connect via Eudora (using the "popper" server) and send and recieve mail. * It connects to the ISP by "dial on demand" user level PPP, with a script "ondemand" in ppp.conf , invoked in rc.local with the command line "ppp -auto ondemand" The "glitch" I'm seeing is that any time a user tries to connect, (or I try to telnet) to the server in question, it dials out if the connection is down. I.E. it seems to dial the ISP not only when there's outbound traffic, but also any time there's traffic on the local link (the ethernet card) Any suggestions regarding what I might have configured wrong? If anyone wants to help, I would send the detailed configuration files to them, rather than clog up the mailing list with the files. :-) Mike <><=======================================><> Michael Doyle Home: 280 3042 Network Administrator Work: 661 0588 Co-Operation North relyod@indigo.ie From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 29 05:24:37 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id FAA07048 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 29 Jan 1998 05:24:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from federation.addy.com (federation.addy.com [207.239.68.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id FAA07043 for ; Thu, 29 Jan 1998 05:24:31 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from fbsdlist@federation.addy.com) Received: from localhost (fbsdlist@localhost) by federation.addy.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id IAA25286 for ; Thu, 29 Jan 1998 08:24:30 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 08:24:30 -0500 (EST) From: Cliff Addy To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Upgrading motherboard, won't boot Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" I'm trying to upgrade the motherboard in one of our servers running 2.2.2 from a SuperMicro+Cyrix166 to a SuperMicro+PPro200.

So far, it appears to have mostly worked (and sure beats the way I used to do it!). But I'm having some problems with the disklabel portion. My disklabel section is as follows: ...... # A 96MB root partition, followed by a 0.5G swap partition, followed by # a 1G /var, and a /usr using all the remaining space on the disk # sd0s1-1=ufs 196608 / sd0s1-2=swap 1048576 none sd0s1-3=ufs 2097152 /var sd0s1-4=ufs 0 /usr # Let's do it! diskLabelEditor ...... The machine complains: WARNING: You have more than one root device set?! And proceeds to complain about the lack of swap, /var and /usr partitions. But the installation proceeds without further ado, and everything is installed as it should be. The disklabel ends up as I specified, and everything is put in the proper place. The only real problem becomes apparent when, after the machine is rebooted, the fstab looks like this: ...... # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/sd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0a /usr ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0a /var ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0a none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 ...... This isn't really the problem it might be, as I have a post-install script I run out of pkg_add which has to massage the fstab anyway. So for now I'm working around this by having that script generate the entire fstab on the fly. Also, is there any way to specify per-interface media options non-interactively? Eg, I would like to tack on "media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" to my fxp0 interface; right now that's the only thing I have to do manually. Thanks in advance for the help!

Support for RAID[0] in software (Linux's MD driver). I looked through the mailing list archives about the BT950 not being supported because BusLogic would not release the driver info, they have now (At least it's in Linux) - is any development planned? I'd love to code it myself if not, but I have never touched FreeBSD before and would probobly make a hash of it! Whatever happens, i'll be trying FreeBSD out on some non-raid Adaptec boxes for fun - I love the installation procedure, it's nice!

We have an abstraction problem that has never been fixed, that the interface between ps and the kernel is too low level. One of us should probably finish one of the interfaces between the kernel and userland.

I would like to use FreeBSD instead of Linux for our production Un*x systems mainly because I think it may be more stable. However I have found that it seems to be "missing" some things I find usefull: Support for the BT950 Scsi card from Buslogic (The FlashPoint). Support for s/w RAID0 (ala Linux md). I have scoured the FAQ's etc and found refs in list archives to the BT950 driver saying thet Buslogic wont release driver specs - they seem to have done so now, at least Linux supports it so its documented in the code - any chance of FreeBSD!? The RAID0 seems to be covered with the concatenated disk driver (ccd 4) but does this work well? Anybody tried it for say a news box?? The Linux md code works really well, even under load with lots of disks (I have 10 4Gb disks and it;s pretty good).

Yes I created the entries in the /etc/syslog.conf file complete with TABs. I create the log files in /var/log via 'touch' and ensure that the permissions/priv is the same as the original ppp.log. In /usr/sbin I created 2 links, ppp0 & ppp1 via 'ln -s ppp /usr/sbin/ppp{#}. After doing this, I reboot the box and initiate a ppp connection. I watch ppp come up; dial; negotiate PPP and then I hang it up. The ppp{#}.log is empty. I'm not running newsyslogd so I'm assuming that has nothing to do with this. Please tell me if I'm wrong. At this point I started to play a bit changing the priv on /usr/sbin/ppp (yes I was grasping at straws). While I still have no problems dialing the ppp session I've noticed that at reboot syslogd reports the error - syslogd: unknown priority name "". Ok I give! I know I must be doing something very rookie-like....any help is appreciated.

I only have a few questions that I'm sure will seem completely easy to those who have had this awhile... 1) How does one go about changing the amount of colors available on screen (I'm using a Stealth 24 VLB card with 1 meg, capable of 800x600 in 16-bit) and have the S3 server installed... Mosaic runs just fine in 256 color or whatever it's running. :) 2) Looking at the Walnut Creek catalog, I see FreeBSD with a good looking bitmap, with color dock icons down below, etc... How do I add bitmaps as "wallpaper" like you do on Micro$oft products? 3) What version of Netscape currently runs with FreeBSD? Is the Netscape Communicator 4.x for Linux 2.x? Guess that's really it... I'm just trying to spice up Xwindows a bit to get it out of the drab bluish green tones and gray background. I guess it's already running in 256 color or 16-bit color, but I'd still like to know what that dock program is so I can install it, as well as the program to add a bitmap image, and of course Netscape so I can have integrated Mail/News/Web browsing... Thanks in advance for any help.

MySQL comes with the stuff to do perl access, but we've never used it yet. We use PHP (php.iquest.net and www.php.net) to do dynamic web pages on the fly based on queries to the database, it it has worked extremely well and reliably. As for ODBC access from an NT or Win95 box, that works well too. The ODBC drivers have sure made it easy to the database. As for mySQL performance, we've had no nproblems. I haven't run it against Postgress, so I don't know how it compares. MySQL is certainly superior to mSQL, at least the older mSQL version we were running before MySQL. Aaron out.

Is it possible to compile linux source code into a linux binary so that it will run under the linux emulator under FreeBSD? I presume I've have to rip the include's etc. off of an existing linux box and transfer them over to the BSD box but is there an easy way to do this? (i.e making gcc look at the linux includes instead of the native includes).

Is your 3com a combo card (i.e does it have UTP, BNC & AUI on the back of it?) If so, most of the time BSD will default to the UTP port and you have to use a DOS utility provided by 3com (http://www.3com.com/) to set the port manually to default to BNC.

The big question I ask my self when things go awry is, "What did I change?" and, "What are my error messages?" That is the starting point. I find it less than likely that a large quantity of your apps got broke. I would look for something that could have a _global_ effect. Did you change your kernel config file? Recompliling with a broken config will result in a broken kernel. It won't matter how many times you recompile that broken kernel; it will stay broke. I venture a guess that you removed a mandatory keyword from your kernel config file. This is 100% guess though. I have done this and the result was all kinds of bizzare behavior. This message is vague as your description of your troubles is vague. Error messages are necessary to get better responses. What makes you think your libs or apps got "clobbered?"

Be very careful about messing with monitor settings.

How do I add bitmaps as > "wallpaper" like you do on Micro$oft products? This is a much larger question than you might think at first. In FreeBSD the user interface is distinct from the operating system. This mean that you may choose any one of 50 or so available "interfaces". How you change the bitmaps and background depends entirely on the interface you choose. The interface is called a window manager. I used to use a window manager named 'fvwm'. I now use the interface 'kwm' as part of the 'kde' desktop environment. This anser probably raises more questions than it answers. :) About the bitmap. You need the xpm library on your machine. In xpm there is a program called 'sxpm' for viewing color pixmaps. I forget the name of the program that set the root window using color pixmaps. About setting the background color. See 'man xsetroot'. 'xsetroot' can also tile some pretty ordinary looking bitmaps in your background. In X parlance the background may also be referred to as the root window. Though technically the background is only _part_ of the root window. > 3) What version of Netscape currently runs with FreeBSD? Is the Netscape > Communicator 4.x for Linux 2.x? There is a Communicator 4.x for FreeBSD in the ports collection.

This works fine for several of the pieces of software I'm trying to use. One program (GRASS 4.2) however, cannot find the libcurses.so.1 run-time library.

At work I have a direct connection so I've never had to mess w/ a modem under FreeBSD - now I do! I followed (I thought) the handbook and tried to use both tip and cu to dial in. Here's the hardware first: P166 running 2.2-stable Motorola Bitsurfer 14.4 modem Dmesg shows that my serial ports (sio0 and sio1) are found. I have a /dev/cuaa0 w/ the correct permissions (as compared to those given in the handbook) and tip and cu are both of the right permissions for me to execute. I've also edited /etc/remote and given general configurations, following those of the handbook, for 57600 bps (this is the highest rate the modem can handle w/ compression). Here's the output when I run the various commands I've tried: tip -57600 9946972 (where I have a tip57600 desc. in /etc/remote) -> uu_lock: creat error: Permission denied all ports busy cu 9946972 -s 57600 (again w/ an appropriate entry in /etc/remote) -> cu: no matching ports cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 57600 -> Connected. (and I can then enter commands although I haven't been able to figure out how to make it dial out yet) So .... am I doing something wrong or is something misconfigured? I haven't tried ppp (I think I could do this from my present machine at work - school won't provide ppp from them directly). ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 29 12:27:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA13007 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 29 Jan 1998 12:27:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cyclone.degnet.baynet.de ([194.95.214.129]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA12998 for ; Thu, 29 Jan 1998 12:27:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from malte@webmore.com) Received: from niente (unverified [194.95.214.188]) by cyclone.degnet.baynet.de (EMWAC SMTPRS 0.83) with SMTP id ; Thu, 29 Jan 1998 21:23:14 +0100 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19980129211639.02f636f8@cyclone.degnet.baynet.de> X-Sender: moos@cyclone.degnet.baynet.de X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 21:16:40 -0100 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Malte Lance Subject: Re: system unstable, how to make it stable again ?

That is the starting point. changed /usr/X11/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers to include -bpp 16 rebooted hacked a mpeg1-player looked at a broken mpeg-file the hacked mpeg-player freezed changed back to 8 bpp rebooted since then i have occasionally freezes every several hours of the MACHINE !!! It just sits there and does nothing. Really. No activity. Absolute dead. Not even a network response from the NIC. When it freezes i have to switch the machine off and on again. At reboot the fsck cures the file-systems and everything is fine again. Then after some hours it freezes again. I recompiled the kernel without cahnging anything in the config-file, but it did not help. >I venture a guess that you removed a mandatory keyword from your kernel >config file.

FreeBSD's cu(1) is Taylor's uucp and uses configuration files found in /etc/uucp.

The general rule I guess would be 'probably'. The ISA card is limited in it's throughput, but the throughput of the ISA bus is a lot more than a 10Mb network card could hope to send / receive per second... The ISA bus (i beleive) has a higher latency, which would go down on PCI. PCI is usually bus-mastering, or uses a larger 'memory' map than an ISA equivalent (so long as you don't get a 32 bit PCI NE-2000 clone ;-) And if the system is using a PCI network card - it could well find it has more free time for other devices (even if there only other ISA cards)... Bottom line: If it was me, and I could afford it easily, I would - I wouldn't expect it to make the machine a 'monster' though. As a good example, I have a 486DX4-100 here, and a Pentium-Pro 200. The 486 has an NE-2100 ISA card in it, the Pentium-Pro has a DEC 21040 card in it. I get 820k/sec when pushing files from the 486 to the PPro. If I swap the card in the 486 for a PCI one (admitadly 486's probably don't handle PCI too well) it goes up to 910k/sec, not much on an improvement. When I swapped the card for a DLink DE-220 (an NE-2000 clone) it went down to 460k/sec. No doubt someone else will venture a better more concise answer...

The original question is ambiguous. My impression, due to the mention of squid, was that he wants to prevent web access to some sites by using a proxy. Since he's posting from a k12 site, he may want to prevent the kiddies from getting porn from the net, and so on.

OK, that's a valid possibility. On the other hand, you can do that locally as well. ASCII conversion does too many other things that you wouldn't necessarily expect, and it must be the cause of one of the biggest newbie questions: "I downloaded the boot floppy, but (choose 1) - I can't boot my machine with it - The file's too big.

This sounds like hardware to me. I can't see how the modifications you made could cause this to happen You could try building a kernel with the kernel debugger, and see if you can get it into the debugger when it freezes, but I'd guess that there's some hardware problem behind it. What's the hardware configuration?

It's trying to tell you that it can't resolve the address 207.206.44.5. I can't either. This almost certainly means that your reverse lookup isn't working. It's nothing to do with resolv.conf.

I'm having great difficulty with using wu-ftp as presented in it's accompanying documentation. The problem is that the upload directive in the ftpaccess file can allow or disallow (sub)directory creation if the "dirs" or "nodirs" commands are pressent, but when it's allowed, the directories that are created are not of the form as is listed in the rest of the upload directive. I know that the daemon is processing the directive, because files that are uploaded are set correctly. It's just the directories that are misbehaving. I tried setting the umask (-u) option on the command line in inetd.conf, and can get it to create the directories with the proper permissions, but the id's are not set correctly. Please help. -John From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 29 15:20:54 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA15818 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 29 Jan 1998 15:20:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from al.engin.umich.edu (root@al.engin.umich.edu [141.212.106.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA15808 for ; Thu, 29 Jan 1998 15:20:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dang@engin.umich.edu) Received: from localhost (dang@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by al.engin.umich.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id SAA07718 for ; Thu, 29 Jan 1998 18:20:42 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 18:20:41 -0500 (EST) From: Daniel Frances Gryniewicz To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Adaptec 7895 SCSI Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" I have a Pentium II computer with an Adaptec 7895 SCSI controller that doesn't seem to be recognized by the current install disk.

I also _do_not_ use the SVGA driver: I use the S3V server. It is more stable than the SVGA server for S3 Virge use.

I was doing SunOS admin when I discovered FreeBSD several years ago...actually I think it was called 386BSD back then, or was it BSD386? Anyway I loaded it on my spiffy new 386DX40 system and was astounded how much it was like the Sparcs (1's, I think) I admin'ed at work. I learned a LOT about Unix by dinking with my 'BSD box at home. A lot changed with Solaris to make it much less BSD'ish. It's a lot more bloated with CDE and the various admintools that I don't think add that much value. But then, I still think vi is the best sysadmin tool...

The ultra-cheap CS4231 -based cards work better, but you'll need a newer sound driver. What are you planning on doing for video?

SCSI controller suggestions? The SCSI controller should be fine -- the onboard is NCR based which FreeBSD has supported for a long time.

Well, both really. gzip'ing was taken out a while back to cut back on machine load; there was some comment to that effect in the message you get logging into ftp.freebsd.org; that tar'ing still works but gzip'ing has been disabled due to load considerations.

The sendmail waits until it can do a host name lookup, which causes the dialout. Once the dialout finishes, it can do the DNS lookup, then it's happy.

The floppy boots up, I get through UserConfig, and all the devices are displayed correctly (except of course COM3 and COM4). Then the system displays the line /stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0 , clears the screen, and hangs! (I can then view the device output by hitting Scroll Lock and PageUp, but other than that, nothing happens even if I wait 10 minutes.) Hardware details: CPU is AMD 386DX / 33, 8 meg RAM, AMI BIOS dated 1990 Trident VGA card QuickPath Systems Portfolio XP controller for IDE/floppies/serial/parallel, settings: COM1 port=3F8 IRQ4 (Microsoft Mouse) COM2 port=2F8 IRQ3 COM3 port=3E8 IRQ3 COM4 port=2E8 IRQ3 LPT1 port=378 IRQ7 LPT2 port=278 (IRQ disabled) 2 floppies (1.44 and 1.2) 2 IDE hard drives (105 and 340 meg), mapped correctly Trantor SCSI controller, port=350h, IRQ5, addr=DA000 (which I set up in UserConfig as nca0, setting the above numbers manually) ShinaKen CD-ROM (SCSI address 1) No network card. The BIOS is set to boot from C:,A: (It can't boot from the SCSI controller because that was added after I had the system, and has its own BIOS.) UserConfig reports no hardware conflicts, and indeed there are none, since this was (until recently) a working DOS 5.0 / Windows 3.1 system. However, I wiped the hard drive for copyright reasons, when I moved DOS and Windows to a new machine. Any and all hints would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Try `mount -u /' instead of your mount command line (you're trying to mount the same device twice). What's the output of just `mount' after the error message?

You need to get that 500 megs totally unallocated so it shows up as `unused'. You can 't install FreeBSD inside of any other partition type, it requires one of it's own.

(from ip address->name)? We have had a similar setup here - and we did manage to get it working, but your local machine has to have all the DNS records for the local machines (sometimes, a quick way of doing this is to setup your local machine as a secondary DNS for your domain & ip-address - and have it pull the records from your ISP, and not expire them very often) - this of course depends on your ISP allowing zone transfers ;-) Regards, Karl Pielorz Don Croyle wrote: > > I'm working on a second FreeBSD box to my home network (currently this > machine and a Win95 game box) and I've run into a problem.

I ran into a similar problem. In my case I am only running a caching nameserver on my end of the ppp link. To get things up fine, I deleted my namerserver entries from rc.conf and made sure I had a good list of the root servers. However, I did also see the unwanted PPP traffic. You might consider adding a static route from and to your box that does not use the loopback interface. i.e. one that uses the PPP interface. I had to do this because I noticed that if I pinged my ppp IP the ICMP packet went down the PPP link and then back. The static route short circuits this loop. My machine is called lorax. Here is what I added to rc.conf: static_routes="lorax" # Set to static route list (or leave empty). route_lorax="128.143.244.37 127.0.0.1" Honestly, it seems that pppd ought to set this route by default.

My box is a P2 with a Barracuda HD (ST34371W) controlled by an Adaptec Ultra Wide SCSI (AHA-2940). I started creating a single FreeBSD partition. After the FreeBSD, i got a "Read Error" message when booting from the HD. After inumerous trials to get the OS booting fro the HD, i tried to create a small dos partition and the rest of the disk with a FreeBSD partition plus Booteasy, and it worked! But this is not what I want, I want to use ALL the disk for FreeBSD and no BootEasy. I already tried to tweak the HD geometry in Fdisk, but fdisk tells me that it can't accept a phisical geometry (whick i took from the HD booklet). It needs the SCSI translated geometry. Can anyone help?

No special syntax required: 1) Install the linux_lib port. 2) Install the linux_devel port. 3) When you want to produce a Linux binary, just change your $PATH so that /compat/linux/usr/bin comes before /usr/bin, so the Linux gcc, etc. is used instead of the FBSD tools. The result of 'make' will then be Linux-ELF binaries.

I am using the 3Com Etherlink III Combo ethernet cards. I configured the cards with the 3Com utility as described in the mailing list archive. I have my pentium tower set up as a gateway and a 486 tower as a host (Using 10.0.1.x for IP addresses). The following files were set up: - /etc/hosts - /etc/host.conf - /etc/rc.conf - /etc/resolv.conf Here's the problem. I am running tcpdump on the pentium system to view traffic on the interface (unfortunately I can't run tcpdump from the 486 until I can recompile a new kernel). I can attempt to ping the pentium from the 486 and no traffic shows up on tcpdump. Pinging from the pentium to the 486 does show the ICMP echo requests but the 486 doesn't answer. I then can attempt to ftp or telnet from the 486 to the pentium and I *do* see a few exchanges on the interface via tcpdump. I can get as far as a login prompt and password but then it just hangs and eventually times out. Telnet and ftp from the pentium to the 486 both get the connected message but then hang before the login prompt. Sometimes I don't even see the connected message. The /etc files are set up correctly above because a co-worker took the 486 tower home last night, hooked it up to his network and it worked correctly the first time. The routing tables are correct when I do a "netstat -rn" on both machines and "ifconfig -a" shows that the interface is up. I don't understand why ping requests from the 486 don't show up at all. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks!

It's part of the squid package, it's used by squid so that it doesn't have to block itself when deleting files, it just passes the filenames to unlinkd which can then take as long as it wants deleting them.

This is a basic security check that some systems do - e.g. if I claim to be from 192.168.100.23, and 192.168.100.23 resolves to 'happyhost@hunter.com', but 'happyhost@hunter.com' when nslook'd up turns out to be '120.39.29.1' - then I'm probably not who I claim to be... The pause is while all the DNS activity is going on... Some systems will kick you out if you fail this check, others will just log it as a 'warning'. Check your IP address is reverse-resolvable, and that your hostname can be put through a DNS lookup on both systems...

What about telneting to the daytime port: telnet host daytime if ping takes a while, then there is something fishy going on. Same goes for daytime. If it's just telnet, then it is possible that inetd is taking a while to spawn a process, and the initial connection packets are getting lost and retried. If it's only for inetd services, then you don't have much of a problem. You can find stronger telnet servers if you need lots of telnets, for example, a shell machine for an ISP. If it's not restricted to telnet, then you'll need to tell us more about your network. -John From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 30 07:41:22 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id HAA18195 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 07:41:22 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from alpha.xerox.com (firewall-user@alpha.Xerox.COM [13.1.64.93]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id HAA18152 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 07:41:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com) Received: from gemini.sdsp.mc.xerox.com ([13.231.132.20]) by alpha.xerox.com with SMTP id <52245(2)>; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 07:41:13 PST Received: from gnu.sdsp.mc.xerox.com (gnu [13.231.133.90]) by gemini.sdsp.mc.xerox.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id KAA29353; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 10:40:07 -0500 (EST) Received: from gnu (localhost) by gnu.sdsp.mc.xerox.com (4.1/client-1.3) id AA06924; Fri, 30 Jan 98 10:40:06 EST Message-Id: <9801301540.AA06924@gnu.sdsp.mc.xerox.com> To: Pawel Matuszyk Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Olicom Token Ring Support for FreeBSD In-Reply-To: Your message of "Fri, 30 Jan 1998 05:51:07 PST."

The Olicom Linux Token-Ring driver supporting OC-3118 (ISA), OC-3136 (PCI) and OC-3137 (PCI/II), was released earlier today. Patches against the stock kernel source for Linux 2.0.33 and Linux 2.1.78 are available on the Olicom ftp server at ftp://ftp.olicom.dk/pub/releases/Unix-Driver/Linux/ Precompiled driver modules are not available, as this it not technically possible. You will therefore need to recompile the Linux kernel yourself, to use the Olicom driver. However, precompiled Linux 2.0.33 kernel images are available for RedHat 4.2, RedHat 5.0 and other systems. If you are installing a new RedHat 4.2 or 5.0 system, customized installa- tion disks are available from the Olicom ftp server, which have the driver included. Thanks You for your interest in Olicom products.

WHile you're at it, start a few more: 'attraction &', 'hopalong &', 'qix &'. This will give you an idea of what real multitasking can do for you! In X, programs can write to the 'root window', which is the equivalent of the background in m$. When you want to change to another, just kill the process ('ps -ax' to see the process ID, then 'kill -HUP xxx') and start another. Attraction is just one of the xscreensaver programs. It defaults to a window of its own unless you specify the -root option. > 3) What version of Netscape currently runs with FreeBSD?

I have learned a lot, but I need some help from this group. I need to run news a lot quicker on our system. I have a couple of fullfeeds and my system seems to refuse a high number of articles. I've been reading the mailing list and some people recommend I change the priority of innd. We have taken the advice on stripping the drives, but I still don't get the performance I'm looking for. Could someone please tell me what the process would be to change the priority of a process? I've been reading about renice, tried it, but still doesn't give me the result I'm looking for. Any other tips to make my news servers that we receive the fullfeeds faster would be greatly appreciated.

It is likely that this error results from a XCreatePixmap-call, which is a Xlib-function. It takes 5 parameters: Display, Drawable, int width, int height, int depth. Since the value of the failed request is 0x8 is would suspect that it is related to the depth-value in the XCreatePixmap-call. Then first of all i would check if you are running a monochrome-X-server on your FBSD-machine. If yes, this is most likely your problem. The easiest way to solve this problem is to use a X-Server that supports a depth of >1. It may be not trivial to patch your app. Best case would be to just change the depth in the XCreatePixmap-call. But as you already imagine, there could be many other Xlib-calls relying on a depth of 8. Good Luck. Malte Lance malte@webmore.com > This is a problem with the application on your Solaris box.

The best way to speed up a news server running INN is to delete it and install something else - I don't like INN that much though. If you feed only, try running Diablo for a massive perofrmance increase otherwise there are some commercial packages avaliable that are also a lot faster than INN. There may of course be something else up that may be improved, I am surprised that striping the drives did not help - unless your striping multiple partitions on the same drive :) Obviously throwing more memory/cpu at it (What do you currently have?) would help - but it's nice to get more speed for less cycles! -- Leigh Porter From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 30 10:23:58 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA20710 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 10:23:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from dax.belen.k12.nm.us (stargate.belen.k12.nm.us [206.206.121.42]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA20420 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 10:22:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from wildcard@dax.belen.k12.nm.us) Received: from localhost (wildcard@localhost) by dax.belen.k12.nm.us (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id LAA19590 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 11:27:47 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from wildcard@dax.belen.k12.nm.us) Date: Fri, 30 Jan 1998 11:27:47 -0700 (MST) From: aLpHa To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Procmail.

The idea being, that, you could mount a "vfat" partition (that Linux supports, but FreeBSD does not) and thus get Win95 long filenames. Or a "smbfs" filesystem (again, which Linux supports, but FreeBSD does not) and access a Samba filesystem directly from the filesystem. I think it was called vMount, or something like that, but I am not sure. Anyway, I can't, for the life of me, remember what it's called, or where to get it.

It's uploading of directories that doesn't. I'm using the -u option to globally set the user/group permissions on directories, but would a) like to set specific permission patterns for specific users, and b) like to rewrite the ownership of directories the same way that I can the files.

Make sure you're using the -a option to wu-ftpd so that it picks up ftpaccess; it doesn't by default. :-/ 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 Fri Jan 30 13:00:25 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA18460 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 13:00:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from vdp01.vailsystems.com (root@vdp01.vailsystems.com [207.152.98.18]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA18446 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 13:00:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from hal@vailsys.com) Received: from crocodile.vale.com (crocodile.vale.com [192.168.128.47]) by vdp01.vailsystems.com (8.8.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id PAA14429 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 15:01:40 -0600 (CST) Received: from jaguar.vail.vailsys.com (jaguar.vale.com [192.168.129.46]) by crocodile.vale.com (8.8.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id PAA05548 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 15:00:09 -0600 (CST) Date: Fri, 30 Jan 1998 15:00:08 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199801302100.PAA05548@crocodile.vale.com> From: Hal Snyder To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD too fast?

Turns out someone was transferring a large file between two high end FreeBSD systems, and this saturated the 10-BaseT segment they share with several other hosts. Switching hub and/or fast ether are in the cards, but I wonder, is there a way - sysctl? bandwidth limits? - to keep this from happening in the mean time?

Can you see any connection between peripheral activity and the hangups? How are you running the ISDN board? Do you get any error messages from the SCSI system? I seem to recall that there were problems with the 2940 driver in 2.1.5, and that's an area where you're less likely to have problems with Microsoft, since they don't use the SCSI bus to its full potential. > At least my question could be reduced to: Is it possible to get a > running system without anything else, like bootstrapping a > compiler ?

Be patient, this is a long one. May help lot of others. I have a APC SmartUPS 1000 (rack mount). I need to use the serial port connection to monitor power failure to shutdown all systems. APC has a software named apc_ssd (ssd standing for Simple Signalling Daemon) which actually does the work to certain extend. It's a C++ code. They give it free, but licensed only to use internally. Basically, I am planning to look into the APC ssd code and modify it. I do not know any commands which could be given the UPS. If u have the command set could u please send it to me? Actually I never connected to the UPS and checked it out. I am planning to try your code too. Here is my need: I have two UPS, both APC SmartUPS 1000. I have an external network and an internal one. One is used on external and another internal. When the power goes down I want the UPS monitor to wait for some seconds and then notify a list of users by Paging and notify other machines to shutdown and notify the UPS to shutdown after some seconds (say 60) and shutdown itself. After the specified seconds the UPS shutsdown itself and comes up when the power restores and feeding power to all machines connected. Also I am planning a temperature monitor, which also does similar thing except that the machines should never be powered up again until manual intervention. My external network is vulnerable. The bastion host could be directly hooked up to the UPS and it can tell others to shutdown. Or I talk only to one UPS and hook the serial ports of my internal bastion host to external bastion host. Which is better for security reasons? What paging software should I use. I looked at qpage, it needs a SNPP server. Where can I get one? Can kermit do the job? How should I request other machines to shutdown? Is broadcast on local network ok for security reasons? Hooking up Serial ports as a chain - doesn't look feasible. Any other idea? If I fix the APC ssd, I shall make it available to all, if APC agrees or shall give to APC so that everyone can from there. Thanks in prior for ur help. --Gopu Calin Andrian wrote: > > Hi ! > > I searched all over the place for a monitoring package for APC backups and > did not find any.

Some people prefer a separate /var file system, but I don't recommend that either. Instead create a directory /usr/var and make /var a symlink to that directory.

It needs the SCSI translated geometry. You could have deleted the MSDOS slice during the fdisk editor in sysinstall -- at that point sysinstall's groked the correct geometry.

I dont' think my old P90 (which you had to manually >assign IRQs to the PCI slots) had any problems either. Hmmm...this sounds relevant to a problem I'm having with a PCI card. It's a 3Com 3c900. It works just fine under FreeBSD using the vx driver but when I boot Windoze NT the card won't work. I've tried 3 different drivers for it, all from 3Com. NT seems to find it but it just doesn't talk out on the wire. The NT diagnostics all run OK but the DOS diagnostics tell me they can't find the card and that there are no bus master slots. There is no way to set bus mastering in my bios (AMI). Very wierd. The other NIC I have in the machine is a cheapo NE2000 clone, also PCI. It works fine under FBSD and NT. An HP PCI card I tried also worked fine under NT but of course isn't supported under FBSD. I know...the obvious soultion is to forget NT and stick with FBSD but I really can't do that. I think I'm gonna go to Fry's this weekend and get another El-Cheapo NE2000. Anyone need a slightly used 3c900? I really don't understand much about this bus-mastering stuff. Anyone have any pointers to some info? Anyway, I'll also vouch for PCI being a lot faster than ISA. Loading an xterm (about a 4 MB burst of data) takes about half as long using the PCI than with an ISA card.

Upgrade that 10Mbit link or demote those people to Windoze boxes? :-) Yes, fast Pentiums running FreeBSD can saturate 10 megabit links. www.etinc.com has some bandwidth limiting software, I believe.

Just ignore it if I have.. :) Basically I have the Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.2.5 collection on CD-ROM (the 4 Disc set). Going through the NOVICE installation, I chose NOT to install the port collection (I thought it would eat up all the room on the 600 meg partition that FreeBSD has). After asking about Netscape and AfterStep, I see I really needed to install that port collection. How do I go about installing the port collection without having to re-install everything?

A quick search of the Freebsd website and mail archives didn't turn up anything on this. Should I use this file or GENERIC as a template? The 98 file states it's for "Generic machine with WD/AHx/NCR/BTx family *disks*". It looks like it means *controllers*? A pointer to docs or suggestion about which file to use would be appreciated. Pentium class. I'm running Seagate ST34572Ws on a 2940UW. I'm basically just setting up/configuring it as a mail server right now prior to putting it in production. I'd like to use ccd for mirroring. After it goes live using a different processor/board combo I'll build another kernel for it.

To insert a literal character in emacs, first type ^Q (Control Q). The C++ compiler should ignore the FormFeeds, so you don't need to worry about wrapping them in comments. In fact, they may need to appear at the beginning of the line, or on a line by themselves.

No, Ctrl-F is an SO character, and Ctrl-P is normally bound to previous-line. -Pat From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 30 18:32:58 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA25103 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 18:32:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from allegro.lemis.com (allegro.lemis.com [192.109.197.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA25090 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 18:32:31 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by allegro.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA28216; Sat, 31 Jan 1998 13:01:59 +1030 (CST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) id NAA03265; Sat, 31 Jan 1998 13:01:58 +1030 (CST) (envelope-from grog) Message-ID: <19980131130158.17449@lemis.com> Date: Sat, 31 Jan 1998 13:01:58 +1030 From: Greg Lehey To: patl@phoenix.volant.org Cc: Doug White , Burton Sampley , questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: [X]emacs and apsfilter References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e In-Reply-To: ; from patl@phoenix.volant.org on Fri, Jan 30, 1998 at 06:26:37PM -0800 Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" On Fri, Jan 30, 1998 at 06:26:37PM -0800, patl@phoenix.volant.org wrote: > >>> Does anybody know what code or key sequence is needed to get either >>> Xemacs or Emacs to force end of page? >>> >>> Here's the situation: >>> >>> I need to turn in a hardcopy version of my C++ code for my class.

That's what I meant to say. But I was trying to do too many things at once and must have copied the ^F from the second message.

To install them all (about 40 MB), make sure your CD-ROM is mounted (in this example on /cdrom), and do this: # cd /usr # tar xzvf /cdrom/ports/ports.tgz If you only want to extract a single package, say inn, which is in the category news, enter: # cd /usr # tar xzvf /cdrom/ports/ports.tgz ports/news/inn Installing ports from the ports CD-ROM Alternatively, you can install the files from the ports CD-ROM, currently labelled ``Docs and Extra Utilities''. This is not much of an advantage for installation, but you may find it convenient to browse through the source trees in the directory ports on the CD-ROM. Let's assume you have found a directory /ports/graphics/hpscan on the CD-ROM, and it is your current working directory. You can move the data across with the following: # cd /cdrom/ports/graphics # mkdir -p /usr/ports/graphics # tar cf - . | (cd /usr/ports/graphics; tar xvf -) > And how much does that port collection take up on the hard drive when it's > all installed? Just the ports (i.e. the instructions to build the ports) takes about 40 MB. I don't think anybody has ever built them all, but I'd guess in the range of 3 to 4 GB. You don't really want to do this.

In as much I'm not a programmer, can anyone tell me what may be wrong when I get "gzip: broken pipe" messages during the extract processes of making the thoteditor port? Compile seems to complete but there seems to be no binary, or I can't find it. Make install seems to complete with no errors either. I do know what a pipe is, but I would assume breaking one that early and getting a whole lot of "doesn't exist" messages during pkg_delete would lead to the compile and install process choking rather dramatically. It doesn't and I need a plumber. Let me know where to look and what to post so as to be more informative.

When attempting this, I receive a message that the file I'm downloading is larger than the destination can handle (in this case I downloaded directly to the floppy in drive A:). I then downloaded the file to my hard disk and checked the size of the file. It shows as being 1.40mb but the floppy, when formatted fresh, can only hold 1.38mb. Is there something simple I'm missing? I have: * Pentium 120 processor * 16 megs ram * 1.2 gig hd (partitioned with Win95 occupying 850mb, the remaining 190mb I want to devote to FreeBSD) If any additional info may be necessary, please let me know.

Hi all.

Not certain this is the correct newgroup to post = this to but=20 here goes.

At a high school where we work we have a Mac 6150 file = server=20 running
Apple server software v 5.0, and At Ease for networks. This=20 software
runs a combination of TCP and AppleTalk. There are 32 macs = on a=20 single
ethernet network with 3 hubs daisy chained, and my pet project = - a=20  
FreeBSD Apache / Squid server on a generic PC.

The generic = PC has a=20 NE2000 clone card.

There are no apple talk zones and all the IP = addresses=20 are on one class 
C network.
 
When the network is busy and a few kids start browsing, the = AppleTalk=20 part
of the Mac file server quietly stops.  

Running a ping from the Mac Server (post - AppleTalk stop) = shows no=20 other apple
talk devices EXCEPT ITSELF. It does, however, ping the = other=20 TCP/IP devices -
that is, the IP addresses of the other = Macs.
 
What is more, I can then start a netscape browser on the Mac server = and=20 look
at pages served by the FBSD box. 

Running an appletalk ping on a client mac shows all other macs, = apart=20 from
the file server.

I did have netatalk on the FreeBSD box, = but have=20 commented out the start-up
script (in /usr/local/etc/rc.d ) and thus = netatalk=20 no longer runs - so I
presume that can't be the problem.

I = have also=20 reduced the mtu size on the FBSD box down to 500 = using

In=20 summary, the AppleTalk part of the Mac Fileserver, but NOT the IP=20 part,
quietly stops working when a) the network is busy with apple = talk=20 packets,
and b) the Mac Fileserver sees IP traffic as well. Both (a) = and (b)=20 must

I have checked the bug pages at = Apple and=20 can't seem to find=20 anything.

Next, try upgrading to OS 8.1. The new networking software fixes a few DOS attacks as well as the ping of death. It also adds a bunch of new ethernet fixes. Also, if you're really serious about things, look into EtherPeek from AGGroup. It's an amazing packet sniffer for both Mac and Windows. It might be able to shed some more light on the problem. As a temporary solution, try running tcpdump on the BSD machine, and looking for AppleTalk packets with the 6150's ethernet address. By the way, ASIP 5.0 and MacOS 8.x are not compatible. You'll have to get ASIP 5.0.3. Another testing alternative would be to diable ASIP, and use personal file sharing on the WS.

When the server boots I have about 109MB free memory. As time goes by the free memory slowly disappears at the rate of about 40MB a day. Most of the missing memory is listed under active in top but the sum of memory used by the process isn't anywhere near that much. And it gets worse... If I don't reboot every two days and the free memory gets below 15MB the systems seems to go into a sort of 'dormant' state. It stops processing requests from the web and telnet becomes very slow even though the load average is below 0.2. Luckily I am still able to reboot when it is in this state. I've been very careful about rebooting regularly so this 'dormant' state has only occurred twice, but it seems to be directly related to the loss of memory. The server was installed from the same FreeBSD CD that I installed on my home system, but I haven't had any memory problems at home. Dose anybody know what is going on?

"Free memory" is memory that is completely unused and contains no useful data. As the system runs and files are accessed, the file data is cached and is no longer "free". It will then show up in the statistics of 'active', 'inactive', and 'cached'. I suspect your problem is caused by running out of networking buffers (mbuf clusters). If you haven't specifically tuned this on your system, then this is likely. You can increase the number of buffers by either increasing the value of "maxusers" in the kernel config file, or by adding: options "NMBCLUSTERS=" ...where is something like 4000. I would suggest that you do both of these - set maxusers to at least 64, and NMBCLUSTERS to 4000. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 31 02:30:46 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA23925 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 31 Jan 1998 02:30:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from user.xtdl.com (user.xtdl.com [206.25.228.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id CAA23920 for ; Sat, 31 Jan 1998 02:30:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from sderdau@derdau.xtdl.com) Received: from user.xtdl.com (user.xtdl.com [206.25.228.20]) by user.xtdl.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) with SMTP id FAA07595 for ; Sat, 31 Jan 1998 05:32:24 -0500 Date: Sat, 31 Jan 1998 05:32:24 -0500 (EST) From: "Stephen A.

When writing a compiler for an absolute new system, you dont have another compiler to get it compiled. So you need to write a minimal compiler to compile your new compiler, that in another turn could compile itself.

I'm working on a CGI in C that has to be fast enough to run at *least* 40 times a second on a p-200 so it has to be coded for speed above all else. The program is basically a database the deals with client data. Originally the design was centered around two data file, a fixed width record, binary hash file and a fixed width record, unsorted binary file. The hash file was to contain client data that would be searched for by the query-string. The client records in the hash file would contain pointers to one or more secondary records in the unsorted data file. This was the fastest system I could think of but then when I brought file locking into the equation in created a bottleneck (only one instance of the CGI can access the file at a time). I'm aware that I can lock specific ranges of bytes in a file but my experience is limited so I can't let this get too complicated or it'll never get done. I happened to stumble on a train to though that led me to the idea of using a separate file for reach record instead of two files containing all the records. That would further speed things up (but not much) by eliminating the hash search if the query-string is the file name of the main client record and the client record contains the file names of the secondary records. The files would still have to be locked when in use but other instances could operate on other records at the same time. There will never be more then a few hundred records/files at a time in the entire database. I think this would run faster than the other system and would be easier to write. What I want to know is, do the experienced programmers in this group agree with me or am I making a big mistake? Are there any hidden performance penalties involved in the model? Anyway, about open files. I wrote a test that attempts to open the same file 1000 times. When run under root the program gets to about 800 before I get a kernel error which is more than I will ever need. But when I run the same program under a regular user it gets to 60 before the open fails. I spent about an hour in /etc/login.conf trying to get it to go higher (at least 100) but I can't. How do I set it higher? Also, dose the openfiles=n line in /etc/login.conf refer to the max number of files a single instance of a program can have open or is it the max number of files all the processes running under a particular user can have open? Thanks for any help, opinions or recommendations. -- Geoffrey Robinson grobin@accessv.com Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

I, too, have BackUPS all over the place. My suggestion would be to decouple the monitoring daemon from the driver process, so we can insert stuff in the middle to do what GHP is asking for, if you haven't already done so. That would be a really healthy contribution to the Ports collection. As to your needs, Gopakumar, HylaFAX has the ability to send out page requests for certain types of pagers.

I thought my SCSI adapter would change the sector size to 512 bytes when low-level formatting the drive, but it does not. I tried a different SCSI adapter to low-level format, and now the drive reports 2068 byte sectors. Ouch! Maybe the firmware on the drive won't support 512 byte sectors, I don't know. At this point I'm not even sure I can get it restored to 2048 byte sectors. With the right disktab entry, will FreeBSD be able to use the large sectors? And how does FreeBSD which disktab entry should be used for the drive? John ------- John The day of the proprietary OS is over. Long live free software.

The system is a Intel Pentium 200, 32 MB RAM, 2.5 GB disk, 4X CD-ROM, 3.5 floppy, and an SMC 8216C network card. The system installed correctly and is up and running. I used /stand/sysinstall to download Pine and other ports collections. I cannot find the APACHE web server or the TIN newsreader using the /stand/sysinstall in FreeBSD version 2.2.5. On the www.freebsd.org website, it lists the above programs or ports collections as available to download via the net using /stand/sysintall. As a novice FreeBSD user, I am confused as to why some of the ports collections download and others are not listed at all in the /stand/sysinstall program, but are listed on the web site.

I made partition on my Pentium PC and were ready to install FreeBSD from DOS partition. I used setup.exe to do setup. But when I went to "Prepare DOS Partition Install" menu and chose all the options including XFree86, an error message appreared, "X32BIN.TGZ: Not found" and stopped doing copying files from CDROM to DOS partition. But if I didn't inlcude XFree86, there was no error message and installation was successful. The problem is obviously in the installation of XFree86. I need you help in solving this problem. Thanks in advance.

I've compared GENERIC and GENERIC98 and they're different enough to make me wonder what to use in which circumstances??? I see that my first impression that GENERIC98 is for wd/scis drives was in error. Is GENERIC98 for newer machines? It wouldn't seem so from the list of CPUs. Thanks for you time, Riley ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- I'm building a kernel for the first time on 2.2.5-R and ran across the GENERIC98 kernel config file. A quick search of the Freebsd website and mail archives didn't turn up anything on this. Should I use this file or GENERIC as a template? The 98 file states it's for "Generic machine with WD/AHx/NCR/BTx family *disks*". It looks like it means *controllers*? A pointer to docs or suggestion about which file to use would be appreciated. Pentium class. I'm running Seagate ST34572Ws on a 2940UW. I'm basically just setting up/configuring it as a mail server right now prior to putting it in production. I'd like to use ccd for mirroring. After it goes live using a different processor/board combo I'll build another kernel for it.

If it's an Intel PC - and not a Japanese PC98 type machine - use GENERIC as the base for the kernel config... However someone will probably know differently... Riley J.

Would you have a minute to help me out? I now have ppp-980113 installed with libalias.so.2.5 removed. Unfortunately, my server seems to be dropping the connection more frequently than it has in the past; ppp also exits when the connection is dropped and displays the following message on the screen: ppp[306]: tun0: DoLoop: select(): Bad file descriptor When in terminal mode, the modem won't echo back my commands (at, etc), either, although the lights are flashing and the modem will dial out. If I'm lucky, sometimes the characters will echo, and from then on I won't have any problems with my connection until the next cold boot. I am completely stumped, so any ideas on what might fix this would be greatly appreciated. A big thanks in advance for your help.

I've been told that FreeBSD has some definite performance advantages over Linux. I've read the FAQ - it says that FreeBSD doesn't run on DEC Alpha yet. BUT the reason I'm asking again is that I was talking to someone who claims that his ISP set him up with a DEC Alpha running FreeBSD. Is this guy B.S.ing me or does FreeBSD now run on Alpha? Thank You for your time.

FreeBSD does not run on Alpha hardware. End of story. OpenBSD and NetBSD do run on Alpha hardware. See www.netbsd.org and www.openbsd.org. I quickly looked over the the supported features list of both of these sites, and my first impression is that you'll be happier with RH Linux. Linux/Alpha support _seems_ more robust, from the quick look that I've done. Linux looks more robust, however since these are web servers, you may not even need some of the robustness that Linux/Alpha offers and the performance increase that *BSD will give might be worth it. I'd look into it, nonetheless. Michael J.
