Does anyone REALLY know what's wrong?? I guess there's something wrong with the UTMP file processing then. If screen is setuid root, it tries to remove its parent shell from utmp and write all its windows there. If screen is not setuid root, it probably can't write utmp and all utmp processing is skipped during execution.

I'm using it for a while, now as many others of you. What about putting similar code into the accept(3) call. That would enable to administer an access contoll list for any incoming tcp connection. Might be applied to recvfrom(3) for udp connections as well. With that approach it would be possible that all the servers, which are not started by inetd will have this ACL feature as well. I don't think that I'm the first with this idea. So what speaks against such an approach? --- Caspar Arquint From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 22 02:35:46 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id CAA18958 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 22 May 1995 02:35:46 -0700 Received: from kathryn.mikom.csir.co.za (some.schmuck.lame.delegated.to.RAIN.PSG.COM [146.64.28.84]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id CAA18945 for ; Mon, 22 May 1995 02:35:28 -0700 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by kathryn.mikom.csir.co.za (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id LAA00286 for ; Mon, 22 May 1995 11:41:10 +0200 Message-Id: <199505220941.LAA00286@kathryn.mikom.csir.co.za> X-Authentication-Warning: kathryn.mikom.csir.co.za: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol X-Mailer: exmh version 1.5.3 12/28/94 To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: INN Probs Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 22 May 1995 11:41:08 +0200 From: Etienne de Bruin Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I am trying to get INN-1.4 going on my system.

Screen works without the setuid bit, and with /tmp/screens mode 1777. I noticed that my login sessions in screen don't show up in a who or a finger. I seem to recall an option (either compile- or run-time) that controls this login behaviour, but I need to look at the source again... it's been a while since I've used screen. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 22 05:09:38 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id FAA22923 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 22 May 1995 05:09:38 -0700 Received: from Relay1.Austria.EU.net (relay1.Austria.EU.net [192.92.138.47]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id FAA22914 for ; Mon, 22 May 1995 05:09:34 -0700 From: Marino.Ladavac@aut.alcatel.at Received: from aut.alcatel.at (dnisun.aut.alcatel.at) by Relay1.Austria.EU.net with SMTP id AA22178 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for ); Mon, 22 May 1995 14:08:38 +0200 Received: from atuhc16 by aut.alcatel.at (4.1/SMI-4.1/AAA-1.29/main) id AA12312; Mon, 22 May 95 14:08:48 +0200 Message-Id: <9505221208.AA12312@aut.alcatel.at> Received: by atuhc16 (1.38.193.4/16.2) id AA03830; Mon, 22 May 1995 14:10:19 +0200 Subject: Re: Ingres Package for 2.x?

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk What? There is lots of new development being done on/for FreeBSD. For example, except for 386BSD (I have heard), FreeBSD is the only FREE BSD that has a merged VM/Buffer cache. FreeBSD has numerous networking improvements. New driver support is being added daily. Some commercial applications have started appearing. A new release is nearing the end of it's test cycle -- and will be out soon. Much new work is being done for 2.1 (a "stablilty" release), 2.2 ( more new development), and work is being planned for further in the future. It is *very* unlikely that FreeBSD will "die" soon :-). It is definitely someone who is uninformed that would espouse rumors of the demise of FreeBSD.

While moving saved FreeBSD security messages, I ran across an 11/94 message telling how to modify the 1.1.5.1 kernel to log rejected UDP and TCP attempts. I implemented it. It showed me where I was trying to use name service before the name server was working, and (here's where we get back 'round to e-mail) it revealed that I am rejecting TCP authentication requests (port 113) every time I send mail. I guess I used to think that authentication service was provided by inetd. Apparently not. What provides it? Do I already have the necessary daemon in 1.1.5.1 and just need to start it in /etc/rc.local? If I don't already have it, where is a good place to look for it?

I can't answer for the original poster, but when I started working at one of my jobs some time ago, a lot of the people there thought that 386BSD and FreeBSD were the same animal. I have a feeling that the person heard that 386BSD was no longer being supported, but it got changed to FreeBSD in the translation. -- Gil Kloepfer e-mail: gil@SSDL.COM WWW: http://www.ssdl.com/~gil/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon May 22 09:19:44 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id JAA27525 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 22 May 1995 09:19:44 -0700 Received: from mail.cs.tu-berlin.de (root@mail.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.17.13]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id JAA27518 for ; Mon, 22 May 1995 09:19:36 -0700 Received: from opal.cs.tu-berlin.de (root@opal.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.17.5]) by mail.cs.tu-berlin.de (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id MAA03185; Mon, 22 May 1995 12:27:29 +0200 From: Wolfram Schneider Received: from caramba.cs.tu-berlin.de (wosch@caramba.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.18.7]) by opal.cs.tu-berlin.de (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id MAA20536; Mon, 22 May 1995 12:13:53 +0200 Received: (wosch@localhost) by caramba.cs.tu-berlin.de (8.6.12/8.6.9) id MAA21087; Mon, 22 May 1995 12:13:47 +0200 Date: Mon, 22 May 1995 12:13:47 +0200 Message-Id: <199505221013.MAA21087@caramba.cs.tu-berlin.de> To: Robert Burns Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: MAXIMUM user name length?

Not that it hasn't been done (cs.weber.edu runs a prototype version of this code, compiled into all the daemons). I'd even say that the exclusion and logging mechanisms were much better, since loglevel is capable of logging much more complex events if it's build into the program -- for instance, telnetd, rlogind, and similar commands can all log full session information (commands typed and responses returned). The problem with putting this in the accept is that it's probably the wrong place. The first issue is that you would have to change the accept semantics, since the validation process assumes an up connection and must do a: o getpeername o identd lookup o authorization file lookup All of which are sufficiently time consuming that it is unlikely to result in pleased users. Typically, you want to do the work post accept so ad to increase concurrency. On top of all this, this has done nothing for udp packets, which using your logic would require modifications to recv/recvfrom or even read itself. At this point you are better off offering an alternate service path (a different set of API's) or going to a lower level mechanism, like IP filtering.

Before the flame war about a "mixed" environment starts let me just say that the Windows machines are a management decision... 'nuff said. Anyway, in an attempt to make my life somewhat easier I decided to do all the IP address and name management on the FreeBSD box I had set up as a name server and mail forwarder. So I started using the bootpd daemon for IP address allocation and used the Trumpet WinSock product on the Windows machines, specifying "bootp" as the IP address. All seemed to work just hunky-dory. And then I installed it on the rest of the machines. In every case (after I got the first inevitable machine differences ironed out) it seemed to work just fine. And then the troubles started. The first clue was when I sat down at a machine that had worked just perfectly not 30 minutes before, was off in the middle of a Windows application, and got a dialog saying "BOOTP Failed. WinSock will not load". Weird I thought, and just to check it out I exited Windows and re-entered so that the StartUp group would be re-executed. This time Trumpet worked just fine. I wrote it down to the odd cosmic ray and proceeded to forget about it... for about a day. Then I started getting problem reports from a number of users asking what the "BOOTP Failed" message was about, or wondering why they couldn't use the neat new network tools I had taught them about. After a fair amount of investigation I have found the following symtoms and/or clues: When BOOTP fails, one of the following actions usually works: 25% of the time exiting Windows and re-entering will fix it. 25% of the time exiting Windows and hitting RESET will fix it. 25% of the time repeating the about 3-4 times will fix it. 25% of the time the PC must be shut down, the FreeBSD box re-booted, and then the PC restarted. Note that the last action is a sure-fire fix and I have never known it not to work after that. Also the first time in the morning a machine is started it virtually always works. And if a machine has been idle for an hour or more it almost always works. Just if Windows is exited and then re-started within the span of 15-45 minutes is it somewhat vunerable. And there seems to be no predicting whether or not the problem will appear. It seems to disappear, for days at a time, only to return with a vengeance. For those of you that are wondering, from the FreeBSD side all appears to be normal. In EVERY case listed above the BSD box sees the Bootp request and replys normally (or at least that's what the debugging messages say). And yes, one of the Windows machines might fail and one right next to it will work perfectly... and as far as you can tell from the BSD side there's no difference! I've posted questions about this to alt.winsock, but apparently nobody on that usenet group uses the Bootp feature of Trumpet. My guess is that it's a bug in the Trumpet software, but I was just wondering if anyone out there might have encountered this or a similar problem and might be able to help me to resolve it.

I know that the boot manager doesn't work if DOS is not on the MASTER disk. When I try to boot dos with a floppy it writes into the bsd boot block resulting in a crash. Which is the easiest way to switch DOS to the master disk and bsd to the slave disk without loosing any data, and get the boot manager working on the dos disk. Will BSD automatically find itself on wd1 if I switch the cables, rejumps the harddisks and change the info in the bios. Can I boot bsd from wd1 with the bsd boot disks, and if so, what do I type at the 'Boot:'-prompt.

I'm getting tired of compiling all big > user programs (xv, tin, etc...) with gnumalloc. I doubt very highly that the malloc in 2.0.5 or 2.1 will *not* be the one in the tree now. However, I spent a little bit of time cleaning up Doug Lea's version and will integrate it into my local test tree after the 2.0.5 release and run with it in a production environment at that time as a replacement for the stock malloc. Hopefully I'll be able to wring out any problems that might still be in programs that depend on the current BSD malloc implementation. (Another one was fixed last week) by doing this, and also get some performance improvements at the same time. 2.1 is supposed to be a very stable release, and changing the system malloc routine is something that could cause too many potential problems.

I think the lack of response is not in any way representative of a lack of interest in your driver as much as lack of time. *All* of the FreeBSD folks are extremely busy right now, and because of the 2.0.5 release we are in short-term code-freeze which should lift as soon as the release is cut. In the meantime, be a bit patient with the members of the team as they are overworked and underpaid. ;-) After the 2.0.5 release would be a good time to bring up a pointer to your driver.

Or perhaps it leaks MBUF clusters on 2.0R too, but I can't tell cuz netstat -m on 2.0R doesn't report MBUF clusters. What happens on my -current system is that the MBUF Clusters field fills up (reports 256/256 clusters in use, 512K in use by network). However, vmstat -m, doesn't reflect this. And the mbuf pool seems in a reasonable state. I.E. other drivers relying on just mbufs work fine. However, the ed driver stops working because in -current it fails if it can't get a cluster, while in 2.0R it falls back to using individual mbufs. Looking at the mbuf allocation code, I don't immediately see where the accounting for mbuf clusters is done. Also, I get the message 'mb_map full' on the console each time the mbuf cluster field fills up. Lastly I can beat the device driver to death for days under 2.0R and the mbuf pool remains stable.

Speaking for myself: if I don't own the hardware and can't test the driver I'm reluctant to adopt it and commit it, because then I'd have a responsibility toward those customers who came along and began using it, and I couldn't properly support them. The fact that you contributed it yet no one committed it doesn't mean it isn't wanted. It only means no one committed it. We're a pretty loosely coupled outfit without many assigned responsibilities. Maybe you have the time to learn the commit process yourself so that you can add the driver and maintain it. I'm sure that would be appreciated. But it will have to wait until after the code freeze lifts. In the meantime maybe the FAQ can be updated to point to your archive file.

[Brian Litzinger responds] It seems everyone has been reading internet net email for too long. I did not mean to imply any ill will or anger towards FreeBSD. I was merely communicating my experience honestly to those who were interested. Inevitably if I email someone 'here is the driver', I get the response 'why not submit it to freebsd?' which I then respond to. Answering the question up front saves on net traffic and my time.

Nothing; shoot the programmer for documenting but not release-testing a command. Recent releases of the scsi(8) command were broken for zero length commands. You need to get an up to date scsi(8), which needs the up to date scsi library. In case you're not running -current, I've dropped a statically linked scsi(8) off in freefall. in ~ftp/incoming/scsi.

What, and break with tradition?!? It seems to me that it's only GNU tar that's missing man pages - I'm pretty sure that the other Unixes I use have man pages for tar. Seems to me that at least DYNIX, DYNIX/ptx, SunOS and Solaris all have them. Of course, they don't use GNU tar, but barring any copyright complications it might be a good place to start.

Does the system say "The operating system has halted" when it halts, and does it say "Rebooting..." when it is rebooting? If it doesn't make it this far, then the filesystems won't be properly dismounted, and thus the error. It can take as much as 30 seconds or more for the system to reach this point, so could the problem be that you haven't waited long enough? -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Tue May 23 20:21:46 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id UAA27236 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 May 1995 20:21:46 -0700 Received: from ref.tfs.com (ref.tfs.com [140.145.254.251]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id UAA27230 for ; Tue, 23 May 1995 20:21:43 -0700 Received: (from julian@localhost) by ref.tfs.com (8.6.8/8.6.6) id UAA21010; Tue, 23 May 1995 20:20:27 -0700 From: Julian Elischer Message-Id: <199505240320.UAA21010@ref.tfs.com> Subject: Re: tar --help To: obrien@antares.aero.org (Mike O'Brien) Date: Tue, 23 May 1995 20:20:27 -0700 (PDT) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <199505240027.RAA22894@freefall.cdrom.com> from "Mike O'Brien" at May 23, 95 05:26:34 pm Content-Type: text Content-Length: 339 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm SURE we've had tar man-pages written before.. > > I want to thank all those who pointed out the existence of the > 'tar --help' option.

David, Yes, it does. syncs the disks too. So I don't think that that is the problem. Generrally when the disks sync it gives a message such as syncing disks . . . 5 5 1 done.

This probably isn't much help, but I've had 20-30 PCs using Trumpet's bootp feature with a Sparc 5 running SunOS 4.1.3 for over a year without any trouble. I seem to remember trying to get the same thing working with a FreeBSD 1.1.5 machine way back when and having problems. But I didn't spend any time trying to figure it out. Btw, in my trumpwsk.ini file, I have "ip=0.0.0.0" instead of "ip=bootp". I don't know if that makes a difference.

I think you have to change and reinstall the bootblocks of your FreeBSD partition. Take a lock in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/boot.c There you have to change the line part = unit = 0; into part = 0; unit = 1; recompile (make; make install) and install them via (if wd0 is your FreeBSD disk) disklabel wd0 > dl.wd0 diaklabel -Rr wd0 dl.wd0 /usr/mdec/wdboot /usr/mdec/bootwd After changing the disks FreeBSD should boot automatic from your second drive.

I think the login is doing a getpwent() call which is using NIS, but there is a segmentation fault somewhere in that call which causes a core dump. I get core files for login, su, & ls when any of these programs need to reference the NIS maps. At first I thought I was because I had not installed 4/12 SNAP correctly and still had a mixed bag of R2.0 and SNAP code on the systems. Well I reinstalled everything, taking no shortcuts, and still have the same problems. I figure most of the experts are busy with getting 2.0.5 out the door. Someone must have this stuff working so my guess is I'm doing something silly when setting it up. I plan on getting the 2.0.5 release and setting aside enough disk space so I can debug this one myself. I gotta pry that extra 400M disk off my wife's MS-DOS machine ;).

Does the Plato have PCI slots? If so, you need to go into the CMOS setup and tell the motherboard that the irq you are assigning to the 3com card is used by an ISA card. Otherwise the motherboard is likely to assign IRQ 10 to the 2940 controller. I've encountered this with the Intel Premiere motherboards...likely to happen on any PCI motherboards.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have been tinkering with IPFW as of late noticing that occassionally someone out there tries to ping -f a system or two over here. What I would ideally like to do is deny all icmp packets from the world as a general rule, but allow them from particular networks or hosts. For example ipfw addf deny icmp from 255.255.255.255/32 to 198.69.44.1 ipfw addf log icmp from 128.220.59.78/24 to 198.69.44.1 are both accepted commands and such. ipfw even reports the first as being a deny from 255.255.255.255:255.255.255.255 yet it does not work. When I specify particular class B addresses [/24] there is no problem, and everything works great. I do not want to change the world-policy to deny because that would also deny tcp and udp connects which I would prefer not to do. Any ideas on how to go about this? Thanks, -Jerry.

If you're using some kind of dialup service then usually you only can receive POP mail (correct me if I'm wrong). In this case, get yourself a pop mail package and install it.

I also have two ide drives, the second drive has my BSD slice, the first drive is just dos...can freebsd access partitions that aren't in a "freebsd slice?" marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom (http://www.lpf.org) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Arthur C.

This occurrs during "heavy" activity such as package installation. The CDROM is a Mitsumi single speed drive with a 16 bit controller card. Is there a bug fix that I should be aware of? I also have an ancient Wantek tape drive in this system. If I configure the kernel so that it knows the hardware parameters for the controller, when the system boots up, very strange things happen. One example is that at the login prompt, the block cursor is nailed in the leftmost column on the screen, but characters echoed to the screen appear in the expected place (after the prompt). It's all down hill from there. Both of these devices worked correctly in FreeBSD 1.1. Any ideas?

I will say however, that having OpenGL in any form, however slow, would be nice....It seems that if there was anything that really needed to be native, it would be graphics stuff.

Especially when compared with Linux - the subject of more than a few wasted evenings. I needed to be able to work sometimes at home and had been through the wringer with Linux, trying to get it to recognise things at new port addresses or new IRQs or even just to get one of the many distributions to install without a hitch. The FreeBSD install was very nearly of the quality I'd expect from a commercial product! Also, when it came to configuring my mouse at an odd address, the kernel configuration file was the picture of ease, as well as allowing much more tolerance of variation in port/irq/drq for the various cards than the rather constrained Linux. I have a question about the MAKEDEV script, where it creates /dev/mouse as a symbolic link to the actual mouse device (mse* or pse*), the link that is being created, in my case, is /dev/mouse -> /dev/mouse I've not had a chance to investigate further, but if it is something, I'd really appreciate a point in the right direction.

I'v done a "MAKEDEV /dev/tty00" and don't have the device. How do you make the device for a serial 2 button mouse? 2a. Is the Diamond SpeedSTAR24 supported?

What kind of ethernet card do you have? Does it have the MULTICAST flag set in ifconfig? There are a few bugs in /sys/netinet/igmp.c which have been fixed in -current; if you want to be a multicast client you should be able to just get igmp.c from -current and rebuild your kernel.

Multicast is added by default. MROUTING is used if you plan to run the multicast router on your machine. what ethernet card do you have? The 3Com 3C509 did not support multicast at that release, but a patch has been ported recently.

We have so many snapshots running here, I have several times pulled on a new kernel onto an older binary distribution machine and saw the multicast error. The last release I dared to run VAT on (and special kernel source patches are required) is the 2.0-950210, because the 2.0-950322 release did some sound configuration changes. The change may be only cosmetic, but I have so far been cautious to upgrade those machines. --mark.

Secondly, I am still using 1.1.5.1 for SLIPing into an ISP, and I am experiencing some weird behaviour, which I don't think is `coincident' after so many re-occurence. What happen is that, everytime when I ping it from the HP workstation (HP-UX A.09.05 9000/715) at work, it is observed that it causes the SLIP line to drop. As this happens so many times as long as I start pinging 1.1.5.1 from the same workstation, I am starting to believe it is not an coincidental line reset or connection drop. Does anyone have any similar experience ?

And now, my minor problem -- my system won't do a soft reboot. It shuts down the system, syncs the disks, gives the rebooting message, then hangs. I have to hit the reset or power down to reboot. My system: P90 ASUS P54TP4 (Triton) 16Mb Adaptec1542CF SCSI 3C509 Combo ATI Mach64 2VRAM (Running a distibution from the middle of December '94) (BTW - no other problems with this system at all - seems very robust so far). Also, I'd like to check my read/write perfomance on my SCSI Quantum drive. Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

First off, I want to get FreeBSD setup to run with a PPP connection, and basicly be my little on ramp to Inet. My box is: Processor: 486/66 (AST machine) BIOS - IBM (ver. AST Advantage! Pro 1.01) Memory: 4 Megs (please, no laughing :)), 30 Megs SWAP SVGA monitor serial mouse Western Digital 250 Meg HD & Conner 850 Meg HD (seen as 813M by FreeBSD) (44 meg of the 250 and all of the 850 are for FreeBSD, both IDE) CDROM (single speed), with an 8 bit sound blaster sound card. Recently Ive tried: 1) Moved from Linux to FreeBSD, hoping to change for the better :) 2) Went to install FreeBSD, It wouldn't read my CDROM. So, I copied what I thought would be needed from the CD to the DOS partition. I only had room for the Bindist, Man pages, srcdist, some of the source code, and X (which wouldn't install), I copied these from the CD to my Dos HD with the same directory tree. Then I installed them on the FreeBSD side, and was able to boot Freebsd. I copied pine over from the dos partition, and attempted to compile a friendlier editor than vi. It crashed, and failed to compile. 3) I next decided to concentrate on getting my PPP up and running so I could ftp the whole current FreeBSD distribution, But.. the method in which I was familar with 'cu'ing to another system isn't the same as in freebsd. I tried just testing the pppd by trying to lanch it.. without being connected. I got the error: PPP not supported by this system. After investigating.. and asking around.. I was told that I had to recompile my kernel (a first for me). I was totally over my head, looking at the GENERIC file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, so I purchased some BSD Manauls. They were informative.. but not as PC orentated as I'd liked. After several attempts at compiling a kernel, I got one to compile. I took GENERIC, add the QUOTA option and the PPP peusdo-device, and it compiled. I rebotteded with the new kernel, and I still am unable to start the PPP deamon, or figure out how to access my modem. Simply put: 1) How do I access my PPP deamon? 2) How do I access my Modem, to call my provider? 3) How do I get the current release from the ftp site, and is there some procise instructions as to HOW-TO install it? Some other questions: 4) How do I enable disk quota? 5) How do I enablee system accounting? 6) Is there a driver for my cdrom ( a complete installation might go a long way) 7) How do I get other editors installed? (pico, emacs, etc..) I REALLY appreciate any and all suggestions, 1-3 are the most important to me at the moment. I appologize, for the spammy longwinded letter, and please forgive the typos Its really late. humbly thankful, Tom Riley P.S. I have the majority of the O'Reilly and Associates books on UNIX.. so if anyone can refer me to insteresting relevant sections from those books, I'll re-read those sections. So far there isn't much on setting up a BSD system. that I can find :) Again, Thanks for your time, and help! :) ****************************************************************** * ranger@worldbit.com ranger@simon.sfsu.edu * * Tom Riley Janitor of BayMOO * * ------------------------ * * He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. * * -Unknown * ****************************************************************** From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 26 01:58:13 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id BAA20565 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 26 May 1995 01:58:13 -0700 Received: from genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au [129.127.96.120]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id BAA20559 for ; Fri, 26 May 1995 01:58:11 -0700 Received: from msmith@localhost by genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (8.6.9/8.6.9) id SAA20733; Fri, 26 May 1995 18:40:44 +0930 From: Michael Smith Message-Id: <199505260910.SAA20733@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: National Instruments TNT4882C driver To: dufault@hda.com (Peter Dufault) Date: Fri, 26 May 1995 18:40:43 +0930 (CST) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <199505251459.KAA02765@hda.com> from "Peter Dufault" at May 25, 95 10:59:35 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1350 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Peter Dufault stands accused of saying: > I don't know if this is the what you want, but Fred Cawthorne's > (fcawth@delphi.umd.edu) gpib driver in /sys/i386/isa/gpib.c says: > > > * GPIB driver for FreeBSD. > > * Version 0.1 (No interrupts, no DMA) > > * Supports National Instruments AT-GPIB and AT-GPIB/TNT boards. > > * (AT-GPIB not tested, but it should work) > > which at least says "TNT" in it.

Mime-Version: 1.0 (Generated by Ean X.400 to MIME gateway) Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been experimenting a little bit with the chflags command, and I was wondering if there exists any recommendation about which files should have the system append-only and system immutable flags on? After a quick thinking, it seems that probably the following directories and all the files inside should be immutable, as they are not supposed to change in the operating system's lifetime: /sbin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /usr/X11R6/bin, /usr/X11R6/lib The files in the following directories should be immutable, but the directory should not, as new files can be added. The directory may be append-only: /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib Several configuration files that are not supposed to change should be immutable, such as: /etc/rc, /etc/services, /etc/protocols... And it would be interesting that some log files were append-only, such as: /var/log/messages, /var/log/wtmp... However, with the latter files, there's the problem that you cannot rename them, compress them, or delete them so that you cannot rotate the logs while multiuser. Of course, for all this to work, the system security level should be 1 or 2. Does anybody use flags, and can give some advise about their use? PD: by the way, if a normal user tries to set a system flag in one of his files, he doesn't succeed, but he gets no error either. Is that supposed to be ok? I think that "operation not permitted" should be returned.

For this hardware, I am only interested in getting it to receive vat audio. When I'm ready to make a noise, I'll get hardware that does full duplex (dma on both directions). I have read the sound blaster patch from ftp.ee.lbl.gov. It appears that patch is for a very early version of 386BSD that doesn't have the /dev/audio driver. It looks like the /dev/audio driver is already in the 950322-SNAP kernel. What do I need to make that work with the SB driver? I have configured 'pseudo-device vat_audio', but that doesn't compile. I am assuming it is because the SB driver doesn't have the right stuff. -bob From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 26 08:21:51 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id IAA28130 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 26 May 1995 08:21:51 -0700 Received: from gomail.sjcpl.lib.in.us (gomail.sjcpl.lib.in.us [192.217.111.3]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA28124 for ; Fri, 26 May 1995 08:21:49 -0700 Received: from [192.217.111.3] by gomail.sjcpl.lib.in.us with SMTP (MailShare 1.0fc5); Fri, 26 May 1995 10:22:48 -0500 Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 26 May 1995 10:22:48 -0500 To: FreeBSD-Questions@freefall.cdrom.com From: j.ross@gomail.sjcpl.lib.in.us (jack ross) Subject: can't run packages due to id.so...

The Soundblaster 16 is a supported device. You need to add to your kernel the followig lines: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 6 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x300 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 Look at /sys/i386/conf/LINT for comments. Also match the above values with the values your card is set. The lines above are not the default :-). I have changed some of the defaults my Soundblaster 16 MultiCD was set to avoid problems with my Adaptec SCSI and my ISDN card's.

It helped out a great deal, and saved me from pulling my hair out in frustration :) Anyway, My present problem is: I still can't start my pppd. I've added the pppd patch that corrects the problem with the 2.0 release of of FreeBSD, and compiled my kernel with the pseudo-device ppp 2. When that still didn't work, I tried straight compiling the pppd code. both proved futile. Is there somthing else I'm over looking? The message I get is: Sorry - PPP is not supported by this system (or words to that effect). Also, out of Idle curiousity, how do you access addistion virtual termials? I uped the number in the kernel configuration file to 8, but I still only have access to 3.
