Remove all of the usernames listed against their default group (the default group is listed in the password file). Also, 40 is a really bad number to use as the GID for your 'users' group. Pick something much higher (1000 or more), as the low group numbers are often used for other things. > Gestur A.

No, I don't believe that there is anything wrong with the X server or with FreeBSD. I run a number of S3 cards both PCI and VLB on systems using both the ed and de network drivers with no problems whatsoever. One of these systems (my workstation) is thrashed heavily on a regular basis; it serves a network of half a dozen Windows/diskless FreeBSD machines and routes the link into our office. I usually have two or three Xemacs' and a copy of netscape open on it and have occasionally run it out of swap (100M). This is a 100MHz P5 on a Soyo Triton board using a #9 V771 (S3 968) and a Compex Enet32 PCI (DE21040). Next to it on the bench is a DX4/100 with a noname Trio-64 card and another Enet32-PCI that runs -current 'make world's mixed with IDL (Heavy X-based graphics). The machine I'm writing this on is a stock 2.1-RELEASE DX2/66 with a VLB Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM. It's currently NFS-serving a 'make world' on another host, as well as running Netscape and a handful of other X stuff. None of these machines have ever given any X or network related trouble, nor have those of a considerable number of other people with similar configurations. I would be _very_ suspicious of your hardware or configuration. I certainly wouldn't go suggesting that it's a software thing; that's common PC wisdom for the Windows world, but not here. > -- Pete -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

Be sure that you actually need a full operating system; a few other things to consider would be RTEMS (portable realtime executive, see ftp.cygnus.com for a lot of embedded stuff), VxWorks (Wind River, they have some _very_ nice tools, but very expensive), PSOS+ (used by a number of military projects around here) and perhaps surprisingly OS/2. > Thanks for any information you can provide.

It works slipping in to my office, which is set up with a 14.4 modem, using kermit, and I can access various local bbs's at 26k and 28k to another lab. The boca product code is MV.34IM . The dmesg looks like "sio2 at 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 5 on isa sio2: type 16550A". I do believe that the board uses emulation since the large chips on the board are labeled "rockwell" and the Boca WWW site indicates that they use emulation on a similar 14.4 modem. No info on this one in the web page that I could find. Boca seems to feel that the cost savings justify not using the 16550. I wish they had the courage to label their packages with this info so dummies like me wouldn't get suckered in like this. Thanks again.

Well, OI is pretty nice, builds on FreeBSD in two easy steps, and is otherwise completely unavailable. So, I use tcl/tk. I embed a tcl interpreter in the app and provide tcl commands for all the functions my app provides. Then I write the entire user interface as a tcl/tk script. Widget clients call my app-specific commands. Advantages: it's easy to change the interface without recompilation; tk's widgets are more attractive than Motif; I can make customized installations of the app for various clients. Disadvantages: startup time is slower---you've got to wait for the script to be parsed. To avoid this, you can structure your scripts to be loaded-on-demand, but that's another disadvantage since it adds complexity to your s/w deployment. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA I had a friend who was a clown.

The drive is recognized with the bootup message ft0: Colorado tape. When I try to use it I get the message "device not configured." E.g., /usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rst0 rewind produces this message, and I get the same message if I substitute rft0 or ft0 for rst0. I found the man page on ft unclear, and not very promising. I am not sure if I could use dump with ft or not. So I'm considering a new tape backup--maybe with a capacity of 500 megabytes (or a little more) up to 1 gb. Something that works with dump. Ideally, something that also works with the backup program that comes with PC Tools for DOS, or has some other good software associated with it that will do the same thing.

Or, more > to the point, what's the purpose of multicast and loopback? Loopback allows your machine to send packets to itself using a "fake" IP address of the form 127.x.x.x. On BSD TCP/IP implementations, these packets are intercepted by the kernel and don't pass through any network devices, so you can run networking programs without even being connected to another machine! As they do however go through all the TCP/IP code, this makes loopback very useful for testing. Traditionally, you could either send packets to a single machine ("unicasting") or send them to every machine on your network ("broadcasting"), which is inefficient if you only want to send them to a limited number of machines. Multicasting allows you to restrict the number of machines you send packets to - as an added bonus, they don't even have be on your network. To achieve this, a special set of IP addresses is used, in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 (known as "Class D addresses"). It's often used for audio and video transmissions - you may have heard of the MBONE (multicast backbone) in this connection. The reason why I have these entries commented out is that there is no point in having static multicast and loopback routes on a stand-alone machine, so I don't bother. My policy is to ignore routing completely - I have PPP configured so that it sets up a default route to the other machine when it connects. This means that all packets which are not for my machine get sent to the other machine, which takes care of getting them to the right destination (and of getting the replies back to me, of course!). Note that these sysconfig entries only set up static routes - they don't make any difference as to whether or not use you can actually use the loopback and multicast interfaces. I have also seen suggestions that they don't work anyway, which is another reason for commenting them out 8-) (Disclaimer - I've over-simplified in the above, for example implicitly assuming that a "machine" only has a single IP address and that networks aren't sub-netted, but I did say I'm not a guru 8-) > I've been working on getting Taylor uucp working so that when > I am _not_ working via PPP that mail will get across via uucp. > Can I set it up so that mail will be received/sent across when > I am connected by PPP *and* by uucp? Or is this too much to > expect? I know practically nothing about UUCP, but I don't see why not. In fact, I've seen references to people running UUCP on top of a TCP/IP session (which is presumably running on top of a PPP/SLIP connection!), so it must be possible. *How* is another question, though.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Got my Walnut Creek Cd-Rom this week and although the sailing was not exactly smooth I'm pleased to say that after about 10 hours of work it's up and running and networked with my sun w/s. This is pretty amazing for free S/W. Here are the rough spots I encountered. First of all my cdrom is on a soundblaster which had it's port address set to 0x340 which defaulted to mcd1 instead of mcd0. So my first reaction to the install procedure which was "WOW - this is a SYSTEM!" (After struggling with the InfoMagic linux maze) was quickly nipped when the install informed me that I didn't have a CD-ROM on my system. The next problem was that I wanted to install on a second hard-drive without messing up a running dos/win3.1 system already installed on the first drive. After sorting the cdrom port address out and going through the first install I chose not to install a boot manager and assumed that the boot track would not be disturbed. I received a rude shock when my machine would no longer boot anything -- in fact it displayed a frightening message in double height letters to the effect that my CMOS was destroyed or something. I had to re-install dos to fix this (I didn't know about the fdisk /mbr undocumented boot track restorer at this point) but assumed I had done something wrong in the install. Once this was fixed I was hit with the dreaded 1024>1023 message since my default dos partition took up the whole first 512megs. O.K. I re-allocated the disk and tried again, this time going through the Novice installation and selecting minimal packages, blissfully believing that I would be able to run /stand/sysinstall and pick up anything I needed later. Well - It trashed my MBR again and again I re-installed DOS. O.K., I thought, so far so good now let's try the /stand/sysinstall - guess what - It would not recognize the cdrom at all (why?). "mount /cdrom" didn't help. I figured that maybe I could go back to the boot floppy and complete the installation from that -- but no dice -- it informed me that there was no room on some filesystem -- I guess it doesn't like to be run on top of an already built filesystem. So after picking out the packages I needed manually I tried reading the html docs. Surprise there too. It seems that the docs are under construction. So I'm left with the following headscratchers: 1) What the heck is the second cd-rom (live filesystem) supposed to be used for. (Couldn't find anything on that at all, neither in the little guide or in the docs.) 2) How do I mount a DOS disk if this is possible? The mount_msdos man page informs that it doesn't work with post dos 3.3 filesystems and in any case it didn't like any of the /dev files I tried. The FAQ only refers to DOS extended partitions, what about a DOS-only disk. 3) How can I get the boot floppy to automatically boot my wd1(1,a)/kernel without having to type it in every time? (I'm still not brave enough, nor do I see how to install the boot manager without re-doing the entire install.) 4) I hesitate to mention this but I haven't had any luck getting X11 running yet. I have an ATI SVGAWONDER-XL card and a mumble bus mouse which doesn't get recognized although the probe finds it even though it appears at a non standard place. Worse luck is that I don't have any docs on the SAMTRON monitor I've got and not a clue to the vert refresh rates -- Oh, well. X comes up in B/W with the pointer frozen in the lower right of the the screen. Maybe a pointer to the XF86 docs would be in order? ================================= As a footnote to the above, I must add that I am really quite pleased with the flexibility of the boot disk device re-assignment capabilities since the reason I gave up on linux in the first place was that it would not recognize my ethernet card (NE2000) by autoprobing and I was told that I would have to re-build the kernel and hard code the card address to get it to work.

Firstly thank you for your assistance. My freind configured a PCI bus using dedicated utility and now while system boots I get message: vx0 <3Com 3c590 EtherLink III PCI> rev 0 int a irq 5 on pci0:7 aui/bnc/utp [*UTP*] address ... It seems OK and even issuing ifconfig command system reports that the interface vx0 is configured properly, but no network connection at all and even when I issue any command regarding network operation the system hangs until I terminate that process. The network cable is attached to the BNC connector however the adapter driver reports that a network media is the UTP. We supposed that something's wrong with adapter.

There is also "asc", a driver for Mustek handheld scanners (Mustek is the manufacturer, the scanner is sold under several different brand names). The driver was written (and works very well) with B&W scanners. I kind of works with color scanners as well, except that I don't know exact details on the data format produced by the color scanning head. I sent a fax to Mustek requesting for info, but did not get any reply. Perhaps somebody on this list has a better chance to get info from them due to geographical vicinity ? They have a www page http://www.mustek.com One note on scanners in general: be careful, when you buy them, to the _real_ (optical) resolution. Many product report very high resolutions which are actually generated by interpolation. As an example, the above handheld scanners both claim 400 dpi. But the BW model really has that resolution, while I believe the optical res. of the color model is only 200 or 133 dpi unit. It makes a big difference when you are scanning linearts.

We want to use the machine as a network server and a system to boot our Xterminals but cannot completely install all of the necessary Unix elements. We bought this PC for this specific purpose and had it configured with a Soundblaster and CD recomended by FreeBSD: Mitsushita ("SoundBlaster") CDROM interface card The Soundblaster/CD is recognized by the DOS partition but we cannot get the FreeBSD install program or the FreeBSD Unix system to recognize that a CD is present. We initially worked around this problem by loading up a system that would allow us to build a new kernel as suggested in the FreeBSD Handbook (on internet). To do this we had to copy needed directories to our (very small) DOS partition and run the install. Our theory was that once we got Unix functional we could build a new kernel with that configured the CDROM and load the rest of the stuff (eg. network programs, developer programs, etc.). I have tried repeatidly (without success) to build a kernel or complete an install that recognizes the CDROM and loads ALL the FreeBSD software available so we will have a complete Unix system for networking. The people at Walnut Creek (FreeBSD developers) have lent NO HELP at all even though I have called them countless times. My answer from them is they do not know anything to help me but will have someone call me back and this never happens. How can I get this machine completely and successfully loaded?

The install instruction indicate I can use a utility called FIPS to take part of the dos partition and create a FreeBSD partition. Questions: Can the FreeBSD partition be resized later without haveing to reinstall FreeBSD or losing any applications or files? Can Free BSD be removed and the partition be given back to dos later if I move FreeBSD to another hard drive?(I need to purchase a drive, but I worul like to test FreeBSD on what I currently have before investing in another hard drive). Can FreeBSD be moved to another drive later without reinstalling or ? i.e. without alot of work? There are two options for installing it, per the instructions, to install as a USER or DEVELOPER. Can it be later installed as a developer without losing any files or work? I read in the newgroup about a product called 'booteasy'. This sound like I can have an option on startup to either start a DOS session or start FreeBSD, is this correct? Is booteasy included with FreeBSD? I would like this option since everything I have right now is DOS based, especially the games and educational software I currently own. How can I get a complete set of the FAQ's, Handbook, Install and Relnotes? The response in the email I received from info@FreeBSD.org seem to indicate that by sending email to info@FreeBSD.org with the command help or list in the body, the above documentation would be sent to me. It didn't seem to work. Maybe I not including the correct format for the command help or list as indicated. Thanks for your help.

The man page is correct. mount_msdos is pretty old and doesn't correctly support dos partitions made after 3.3. you can open them read only OK, but don't try to open them in write mode or you'll corrupt it. Also, mount_msdos only supports primary partitions. > 3) How can I get the boot floppy to automatically boot my wd1(1,a)/kernel > without having to type it in every time? (I'm still not brave enough, nor > do I see how to install the boot manager without re-doing the entire install.) You have to rebuild the boot disk. You don't want to do that. The boot manager, in my experience, won't work on a second disk. SO, I would recommend pulling the `os-bs' utility from the tools/dos directory off the CD and installing that. OS-BS is a fancy boot manager that will support the second disk OK. > 4) I hesitate to mention this but I haven't had any luck getting X11 > running yet.

I can't believe that. :-) The new visual utility in the install kernel is fantastic. They've done an excellent job in the boot-time configuration department. Hope this helps.

This is a FreeBSD list, not a 386BSD list. I don't think there is a 386BSD list at all. The way that a boot from a CDROM works is that it must be a device recognized as bootable by the BIOS. Since you are using an interface attached to a sound card, you don't have a BIOS that recognizes the device as a boot contoller. So even if you had a boot program that ran from DOS, you still could not boot from this device without a BIOS-level INT 13 redirector that knew how to talk to the controller. If you are a hardware hacker, you could add support for the device to your INT 13 BIOS and burn yourself some new BIOS ROM's. Basically, you are SOL because of your hardware. "Boot-from-CDROM" is a fluff option in any case. I believe you can make a boot install floppy from the CDROM and boot that instead to get the OS loaded... at least FreeBSD and NetBSD work that way.

The main benefit of OS/2 is that it could run Windows programs, while FreeBSD (currently) can not. There is the WINE project, which has highly inflated interface coverage statistics (it quits counting after the first failure, so the percentage is always (n-1)/n * 100). There is also an announcement that Willows sources will become available soone (Jordan was kind enough to CC: me on a post to the multimedia list). This is an ABI environment (see the web page, but not the announcement, at www.willows.com). This is a full on Windows emulation environment. According to the web page, BSD support is not planned. They also (in their technical overview) claim usage of the TSS. Thius means BSDI in fact will probably not run multiple copies on the same platform without some more work (not that they plan a BSD port of any kind at present). Perhaps they are attempting to leverage the net for their developement? In any case, FreeBSD could not run this without TSS support for task switching on the order of the "RunDOS" environment in BSDI, and probably closer to the VM86() code necessary for all sorts of interesting DOS-like things (which no BSD can currently handle). So it would be a hard port in any case. BSD (and FreeBSD) support running DOS-only programs using PCEMU, which had the advantage of working on non-Intel processors, unlike the Linux DOSEMU. The disadvantage is that being somewhat apart from the hardware because of this means that using it as a basis for a WABI would be a hard thing. So if you have to run Windows programs, you should probably go with another OS. My personal recommendation (not my preference!) would be Windows NT. OS/2 is pretty much dead on the vine at IBM, and Windows95 is constantly being threatened with a short life cycle as MS attempts to convince people to move to NT. There is some speculation that Windows95 is just a mechanism for migrating vendors over to the Win32 API for the benefit of NT in any case.

I can't believe it would have... Perhaps the cisco has sub-interfaces running so the 206 net does exist. Then it could proxy arp to itself to get the route to go where it was supposed to. The only way to legitimately do it is to use sub-interfaces on the cisco. I don't suppose FreeBSD does that (ie 2 or more ip addresses on the same ethernet port). Paul. -- Paul T.

Yes. You would remove the BSD partition with FIPS and resize the partition. This will *only* work on a partition you shrank in the first place; if you create the DOS partition small, it is likely its cluster size will be too small to allow you to increasy its size sufficiently later. > Can FreeBSD be moved to another drive later without reinstalling or ? i.e. > without alot of work? Depends on what you mean by "a lot of work". It can be done in a short time if you know exactly what you are doing before you attempt it; if you *will* know this by the time you do the move, then it won't be a problem; otherwise, you will probably have to get someone to walk you through (not me, though). > There are two options for installing it, per the instructions, to install as > a USER or DEVELOPER.

One problem with the typical "USER" install is that "/" tends to be created rather small.

I use it for several reasons: 1) I don't have room on my HD to keep the entire source tree, so I just use symlinks to the live filesystem CD-ROM. rm -rf /usr/src mkdir /usr/src lndir /cdrom/usr/src /usr/src 2) In case something gets messed up, I have a backup on the CD-ROM. e.g. if I munge around with /etc/rc* and "Oops! I forgot to make a backup"... just retrieve the original from the cd-rom. 3) I'm sure there are many other uses which I can't think of at the moment. > 2) How do I mount a DOS disk if this is possible?

The FAQ only refers > to DOS extended partitions, what about a DOS-only disk. Actually, it does work with post-3.3 DOS systems (even Windows 95). I recommend that you run chkdsk or scandisk whenever you boot back into DOS, after MAKING CHANGES IN FREEBSD (i.e. deleting/copying/renaming/etc. files on the dos partition). This command mounts partition #1 on SCSI disk 0 to the directory /dos: mount -t msdos -o ro /dev/sd0s1 /dos (-o rw if you want it read-write) (for part. #2 on IDE disk 0, use /dev/wd0s2, etc.) > 3) How can I get the boot floppy to automatically boot my wd1(1,a)/kernel > without having to type it in every time?

Use "booteasy" (it comes on Cd-ROM #1, in the \tools (or \utils, I forget which) directory.

Check the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/modeDB.txt, for "generic" card and monitor definitions that should work for you. The SuperProbe command will tell you (if it knows about it) what kind of video card you have. The mono X server should definitely work for you (if it doesn't, that's a real surprise) and I honestly thing you'll get the 256-color SVGA to work too. IF your chip is supported, you might even have a HighColor or TrueColor driver. As to the mouse problem, Use the lines: Options "Pointer" Protocol "Busmouse" Device "/dev/mse0" in /etc/XF86Config. More than likely, your bus mouse is Logitech compatible, to some extent, and if your kernel does indeed recognize it, this is a good sign. Good luck and happy hacking, and feel free to contact me and/or the list if you have any further questions or problems.

I haven't been able to get this thing to print anything but demo pages and I've never seen any response (flashing LEDs, etc) that indicates it is even receiving data over the parallel port. I've rebooted while the printer is connected to the port, used lptcontrol to switch to polled mode (instead of interrupt). Still nothing seems to help. Can anyone suggest a simple test to see if the parallel port is even working? In the meantime I'll try to load windows to see if that can talk nicely to the printer. Also, HP's documentation claims that the LJ-5MP will automatically work with either PCL or PostScript. Does anyone know if that means the printer is ready to receive postscript at any time, or does it just mean that the drivers they supply for windows and macintosh put the printer into the right mode (through some undocumented PCL command) before printing? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -csw From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 8 16:54:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA23921 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 8 Jan 1996 16:54:51 -0800 (PST) Received: from rocky.sri.MT.net (rocky.sri.MT.net [204.182.243.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA23912 for ; Mon, 8 Jan 1996 16:54:47 -0800 (PST) Received: (from nate@localhost) by rocky.sri.MT.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id RAA12113; Mon, 8 Jan 1996 17:55:51 -0700 Date: Mon, 8 Jan 1996 17:55:51 -0700 From: Nate Williams Message-Id: <199601090055.RAA12113@rocky.sri.MT.net> To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Hm...vat not working :( In-Reply-To: References: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE, sb 16.

You're missing the point; the 'new' machine won't be able to find an interface to emit the packets on in the first place, which is why they're getting 'no route to host'. If they want to do this, they should be using an interface route. In the above case, you'd use route add default -interface 206.27.32.1 but this loses in that your arp table ends up full of every host that you talk to. > The only way to legitimately do it is to use sub-interfaces on the cisco.

I moved this to a better place, Amancio's list at rah.star-gate.com. Too many FreeBSD-er's complained they were bored to death by multimedia discussions, and you're going to get better answers here. If you reply to this, PLEASE trim -questions off the cc list! The server is nearly undocumented in the nas stuff. I went looking thru the stuff once I'd built it, there's a vanilla man page (auserver) about _any_ server, and auvoxware is there (but no man page!). Any time I try to run this, it just gives me: ROOT:/root:1002 >auvoxware -aa & [1] 4126 ROOT:/root:1003 > Fatal server error: could not create audio connection block info [1] Exit 1 auvoxware -aa ROOT:/root:1003 > So while the clients probably work, the server won't.

OS-BS is a fancy boot manager > that will support the second disk OK. Agreed that OS-BS (use the beta one -- it's ok) is much prettier and nicer interface than booteasy. However, booteasy will definately boot FreeBSD from the second disk. I've heard of some cases where it would and OS-BS wouldn't. To install booteasy if you didn't do it from the install, simply use the booteasy package (bootinst.exe) from the cdrom in the tools directory from MS-DOS. -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu) From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 8 20:09:02 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id UAA05831 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 8 Jan 1996 20:09:02 -0800 (PST) Received: from chemserv.umd.edu (chemserv.umd.edu [129.2.64.40]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA05820 for ; Mon, 8 Jan 1996 20:08:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from cappuccino.eng.umd.edu (cappuccino.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.14]) by chemserv.umd.edu (8.7.3/8.7) with ESMTP id XAA20170; Mon, 8 Jan 1996 23:07:26 -0500 (EST) Received: (chuckr@localhost) by cappuccino.eng.umd.edu (8.7.3/8.6.4) id XAA08340; Mon, 8 Jan 1996 23:07:25 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 8 Jan 1996 23:07:25 -0500 (EST) From: Chuck Robey X-Sender: chuckr@cappuccino.eng.umd.edu To: jlrobins@zappa.cs.uncc.edu cc: Gary Kline , dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu, questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Hm...vat not working :( In-Reply-To: <9601090238.AA11040@zappa.cs.uncc.edu> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 8 Jan 1996 jlrobins@zappa.cs.uncc.edu wrote: > [Q about how to fix NAS clients not connecting to server] > > I assume you've started the daemon "au". > > I've had to explicitly set the AUDIOSERVER env variable as described > by the "nas" man page: setenv AUDIOSERVER tcp/localhost:8000.

It may well also be midi stuff; the news one came from alt.sources so probably isn't indexed anywhere. It's a newsrc driven version of slurp, written in perl. Slurp uses message-id lookups at the server end, which taxes the server due to the high volume of dbz lookups. I got one copy directly from alt.sources and the other came from some ftp site (but I don't know which.) They differ subtly and I haven't actually tried either since I'm transitioning over to a 'normal' newsfeed and can leave slurp going for a while more. -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 8 22:40:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA15916 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 8 Jan 1996 22:40:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from tulpi.interconnect.com.au (tulpi.interconnect.com.au [192.189.54.18]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA15829 for ; Mon, 8 Jan 1996 22:36:19 -0800 (PST) Received: (from ahill@localhost) by tulpi.interconnect.com.au id RAA23482 (8.6.11/IDA-1.6); Tue, 9 Jan 1996 17:35:23 +1100 Date: Tue, 9 Jan 1996 17:35:22 +1100 (EST) From: Anthony Hill To: donald zebe cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: security In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 8 Jan 1996, donald zebe wrote: > www security is a real concern for those who use credit cards to purchase > goods and services.

General/Mail PGP exists for sending/receiving secure mail and documents, it is in the ports collection, and is avalible for all major operating systems. Web Browsers Netscape supports secure sockets, and will talk securely to any web server that also supports it. Netscape is avalible in the packages collection and is avalible on all major platforms. (Read the netscape security notices - a bug was revealed in all older versions which leaves them vunerable - new unvunerable versions and patches have been released.) Web Servers The Netscape Commerce server supports secure sockets, and will run on several UNIX platforms including FreeBSD (and Windows NT I think). A version of the Apache web server exists that supports secure sockets, (this is not the version that is in the ports collection), but the source compiles under FreeBSD 2.1 without modification. Remote Login/telnet ssh or slogin (secure shell or secure login) is avalible for most UNIX platforms and windows, and the source compiles on FeeBSD 2.1 without modification. All of these are avalible for free (except the Netscape commerce server), and all can use strong encryption anywhere in the world (except the Netscape commerce server). The encyption they all use is based on the trendy RSA style public/private key prime number thinggy. That enough for you ?

Unfortunately, you have two strikes against you. One, Khoris is *huge*, so either you gotta find some disk space or you can't install it. :( Second, the license used by Khoral Research states that only KRI can supply binaries distributions, so it's illegal to distribute binaries distributions. :( The bottom line is you need to find about 200M of disk and compile it up for yourself, but it's pretty easy if you follow the instructions.

The machine is a 100MHZ Pentium. After the "npx0 on motherboard - npx0: INT 16 interface", the machine soft hangs there indefinitely. I tried two different configurations (I/O 300/IRQ 11 and I/O 240/IRQ 5) and both yielded the same results. If I disable the probe on ep0, the machine boots fine (without network access, of course). The only other cards in this machine is a 7870 SCSI controller and a ATI Mach 32 (both PCI). Oh yeah, and one parallel port (IRQ 7) and one serial port (IRQ 4 - 03f8h).

It just has the TP connector. yeah, i have one where i work. where i worked previously, we had a dozen systems using this board (3c509-TP). are you using the 3com diskette to make the changes to the card. or the jumpers. i always used the soft configuration jumper setting on the card, then used the 3com diskette to set the irq and ioaddr. can you provide boot messages? once you have the driver working, you will need to add '-link2' to the ifconfig line.

You can achieve this by the Depth keyword in the Screen->Display section of /etc/XF86Config. If you make it the only entry you force the server to choose this setting - provided the on board memory amount and hardware (DAC) support it.

Any advice would be appreciated. You will have to temporarily disconnect the IDE, boot the SCSI disk (which will then be sd0), and then configure a kernel with sd1 assigned to your SCSI drive bus and target ID in the kernel config file (in /sys/i386/conf/): disk sd1 at scbus0 target 0 Then you have to change all references to sd0 in /etc/fstab into sd1. Once you installed the kernel, you can reenable the IDE drive and FreeBSD will do the right thing.

Be careful, though. There are some special restrictions on the use of `-bpp 16' and Cirrus Logic chips. The following is an excerpt from the "README.cirrus" file. That file is usually located in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc, assuming you installed the X11 docs; if you didn't, and you have a Walnut Creek CD-ROM, they're on the live file system (i.e., the second CD). ---------- Begin Excerpt 5. Linear addressing and 16bpp/32bpp modes Currently the unaccelerated 16-bit and 32-bit pixel support in the SVGA server requires linear addressing. This restriction will hopefully be removed in a future version. Option "linear" can be specified in a depth-specific screen section to enable linear addressing; a MemBase setting (in the device section) is probably also required. There are a number of different card configurations. If you have a 542x/543x on the ISA bus, and you have 16Mb or more of system memory, linear addressing is impossible. 16bpp is out, sorry. If you have less than 14Mb of memory, you may be able to map the framebuffer at 14Mb, using `MemBase 0x00e00000'. That's five zeros after the `e'. Unfortunately many ISA cards don't support linear addressing. If you have a 5424/26/28/29 on VESA local bus, the situation is more complicated. There are two different types of cards w.r.t. linear addressing: o Cards that can only map in the lower 16Mb, like cards on the ISA bus. This is the case with most cards. The same restrictions apply (i.e. you must have less than 16Mb of memory). o Cards that connect address line A26 and always map at 64Mb + 14Mb or 64Mb. In this case specify `MemBase 0x04e00000' or `MemBase 0x04000000'. This assumes you have a VLB motherboard implementation that implements A26. Alternatively the card may map to 0x2000000, and recent cards like the 5429 usually map to 0x03e00000 (62Mb). You will probably have to rely on trial and error. If you have less than 16Mb memory, the `wrong' membase setting will result in no graph- ics being displayed, but you can probably exit with ctrl-alt- backspace. If you have >= 16Mb memory, the first type of card (and even the second type with a stupid VLB motherboard) will result in a crash (probably a spontaneous hard reboot). ---------- End Excerpt There's quite a bit more information than that.

The signal return is in BSD format, and the program you are running is actually checking the signal return and other data that are in a machine specific format. This has been fixed in the newest Linux emulation code with regard to Linux style signal processing. If you update to -current, the problem will go away. If you know the code, you could just update the emulator portion instead of updating your whole OS.

Mike Mayberry (mikem@cs.weber.edu) has an academic machine setup so that idle accounts are automatically tarred up and compressed after a period of inactivity. If the user logs on after this has happened, the account is automatically reexploded. The only less-than-perfect attribute of this is that the user is logged out after the reexplode and must log back in. Not a terrific hardship, I think. Mike also has automatic account generation from student information for students who are to have an account for a course. I believe it sets up per course environments for the student creating the account this way (it uses a key list so that students can't just randomly hack themselves accounts).

I have been installing from the CD-ROM, trying a "Novice" installation. The system HW looks like this: - Pentium CPU - DTC PCI SCSI controller - SCSI CD-ROM - Disk at addr. 0: 1.2 GB used only for Win95 and WinNT - Disk at addr. 1: 400 MB on which to install FreeBSD First attempt: while booted from DOS, install to disk at address 1. This resulted in a non-booting disk at address 0, on which I had to re-install the DOS boot sectors. Second attempt: Disconnect disk at address 0, boot from DOS floppy and install at CD-ROM. This installed correctly. However, when I re-connect the DOS disk at address 0 and try to boot from the FreeBSD boot floppy created as part of the installation process, the system continually reboots as soon as it reads from the FreeBSD boot floppy. These questions occur to me: Can I create a boot floppy that will go directly to the FreeBSD disk at address 1, or will give me a prompt to type in the path to the disk at address 1? (would solve problem #2 above) Can FBSDBOOT.EXE be used to specify a boot path to a second disk, or must it only be used to boot from another partition on the same disk? Thank you in advance for any pointers. - John Fenwick From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 9 10:35:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id KAA27106 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 9 Jan 1996 10:35:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from fang.cs.sunyit.edu (fang.cs.sunyit.edu [192.52.220.66]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA27099 for ; Tue, 9 Jan 1996 10:35:13 -0800 (PST) Received: (from urcf@localhost) by fang.cs.sunyit.edu (8.6.9/8.6.9) id NAA19452 for questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 9 Jan 1996 13:35:08 -0500 Date: Tue, 9 Jan 1996 13:35:08 -0500 From: "Rodney C.

I am running FreeBSD 2.1.0 with only 1 swap partition. I was considering turning kernel dumps on, but I have a question. In /etc/rc, swapon -a is run before dumpon and savecore. Wouldn't this corrupt the kernel's core dump that is on that swap partition? It seems to me that it enables the device for swaps before saving the dump to a file. I may be completely misunderstanding this, so correct me if I am wrong. 2. How can I read a CD-ROM's label? When mounted under DOS, all drives (including CD-ROM's) have labels to identify the disk. For instance, the FreeBSD-2.1.0 alpha CD's label is "FREEBSD210A". How can I get this info under FreeBSD? 3. I recently installed a Nakamichi 7 disk CD-ROM changer. What is the current status concerning reports of panics while using this drive. Are there any patches I should be aware of? -- _ /| \'o.O' urcf@fang.cs.sunyit.edu (Rodney C.

I assume you are referring to the inability to do mounts on a subdirectory of an exported FS? The point is to prevent bypass of directory level permissions on path components from the exported mountable file system root to the subdirectory you are interested in. This change first appeared (I believe) in SunOS 4.1.3. There are specific options to defeat this behaviour (see the man pages for details). Mostly, this has to do with the root id from the remote system being mapped as -2 and the -2 ID not being the owner or a memebr of the correct group to traverse the intermediate components. If you allow mapping of a remote root as local ID 0, this should also "fix" the "problem". That is, you must either implicitly or explicity compromise security for what you want to do to work, since what you want to do is a violation of security protocols. > p.s. What kernel do I need to be able to run the Linux emulation stuff? The one that came with your 2.1 installation. If you want to run the Netscape Linux JAVA stuff, you will need a -current kernel (and therefore an entire -current system because of proc.h and other changes) to enable Linux signal handling. Mostly because Netscape does a nasty-no-no and references signal structure contents. > p.p.s. Why does FreeBSD consume far more swap space than Linux? It doesn't. You might mean "why does my swap seem full?". If that is what you really meant, it's because putting stuff in swap rather than discarding it makes it faster to recover than if the pager had to go through the file system to pull in clean (unmodified) blocks from an executable. The actual amount of dirty pages that you can have in core at once is not reduced; the clean pages are displaced as necessary. (note: the above is from memory; there was some talk of modifying the reporting system so as to hide the clean pages as "not present").

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello everybody! Here's my question I'd appreciate your help with: How do I change the disk label on FreeBSD disk? Say I'we got a large partition /serv which I want to be split into two smaller ones. I've tried using sysinstall utility which doesn't seem to actually change the partition. If disklabel shuold be used in this situation - how do I calculate the "cyl" information for the label? All other entries - sizes and offsets seem to be pretty obvious to calculate, but what about these cylinders?

You haven't given enough info for anyone to make a guess, but its a definite fact that disabling the npx0 (numeric coprocessor, or linkage to the numeric coprocessor emulation) code is a fatal mistake.

Obvious at the time. Amancio and several of his compadres do most of the multimedia work (not all) and were getting some unkind heat from folks who were bored by multimedia stuff. Amancio reacted by setting up his own list, which was active (hours before) a similar FreeBSD list was activated. Amancio keeps his machine full or ftpable multimedia code, and if he wants to run it, no one involved with it disagrees. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

Sorry, it wont help. The main problem appears to be that the linux libc that we use implements syslog() by calling the linux kernel syslog syscall, which does *nothing* like what syslog() is supposed to do. User mode processes have no business calling it at all, because on linux it gives an EPERM if not being run as the superuser. On linux, the syslog system call is for reading the console messages buffer (like our 'dmesg' command). -Peter > Terry Lambert > terry@lambert.org >--- >Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present >or previous employers.

The so called server option seems to reduce the number of interrupts in a particular time window so that a DOS/NOVELL server can have some cycles for other things. I think it just drops packets man! The client options allows the card to run flat out. It makes a *big* performance difference on sustained ftp.

Ack, you don't wrap. Sure can. I'm doing it here. :) Just install FreeBSD as normal (selecting your remaining slice and disk space), reboot to OS/2, go into OS/2 FDISK and tell it to add the FreeBSD parition to the boot manager. It'll show up as type `A5' which is OK. Then restart and enjoy :) Works fabulously here, except I have fbsd on a second disk.

Thanks in advance It's to warn you to watch out what you're running. It's pretty easy to fool someone into running a destructive script this way (ie, if you type ``pine'' just after you login, someone could put a ``pine'' script in your home dir that does ``rm *'' instead). If you have binaries/scripts you run a lot make a directory called ``bin'' off your home directory and put them in there; ~/bin is in the path by default.

Thanks in advance Typing ./ before the command is the correct solution. Adding . to roots path is a definate big security risk. An anonymous FTP user could easily trick you into executing a script that would give him full root access to you machine by nameing the script something like "ls" and copying somewhere he does have write permission. (typically /tmp). Next time you do an "ls" in /tmp, you system gets a new root user. The ./ ensures you are executing the command you expected to. Roots path should never contain a directory other non-su'ed users ever have write permissions to. Try to avoid using root as much as possible anyway. (This stuff should be in the FAQ/handbook - newbies getting hacked because they lack basic info like this will eventually get FreeBSD a bad name as far as security goes.)

But now that the 2.1 OS is installed, I can't seem to mount the CD-ROM, even though it worked fine during the installation process.

The PAS factory default is irq 7; Soundblaster part of card uses irq 5. These are also the irq's used by my two parallel ports, so I used "conflicts" and the options to allow conflicts etc. in the kernel. I did this quite carefully, reading all the documents as I went along and even changing the defaults in one of the *.h files before compiling. The new kernel booted just fine. I downloaded some *.au files and tried cat test.au > /dev/pcaudio and got "device not configured." Tried /dev/speaker with the same result. With cat test.au > dev/nca0, it sent the file to the printer. I disabled lpt0 and lpt1 with userconfig, i.e., booting kernel -c. I tried some of the other devices associated with sound (pas0, nca4, sb0); the test.au file overwrote the devices. I tried MAKEDEV but it didn't work; I couldn't find information about the major and minor numbers for the devices I wanted to recreate in any documentation, so couldn't create them by hand with mknod. So I recompiled the kernel, hoping the devices would be created in this process. Instead, the old devices (and the overwritten ones) are still there, but there is a whole slew of new devices associated with sound. Not wanting to overwrite the device files again without a backup, I created /dev/bak and tried copying (while in X) all the device files in /dev to /dev/bak. I got some messages on wd* devices "device not configured" (the hard drives are SCSI) and eventually things stopped without exiting. Some new devices may have been created in this process. The only entry in /dev/bak was var. This I deleted and tried copying just one file, /dev/zero, to /dev/bak. This filled up the file system to 109%. I finally found the offending file and deleted it. I tried to copy just the new device /dev/audio0 (to which /dev/audio is now symbolically linked) to /dev/bak, but got a message cp: /dev/audio0: Interrupted system call. Unquestionably I would have preferred to have this system backed up long ago, but I am stilled puzzled about how to run the Colorado tape drive with ft. The system is 2.10 from the cdrom. No doubt some time I will find this very funny, as you may well now. Meanwhile I'm puzzled about not being able to make a copy of a device file and getting them overwritten. Any explanations of what I did wrong and what's going on would be appreciated.

I had the same (or very similar problem) with our DX4/100. The computer hang completely after 'Reboot'-word (even cursor stopped blinking!). This was found both under OS/2 Warp and FreeBSD 2.0.5. And I always had to apply 'Cold Reset' (alas, not very good for remote reboot :-) SOLUTION: ^^^^^^^^ was found in MotherBoard Man (where different jumpers were described). MB thought that it works with DX not DX4. After the change the Computer reboots fine. Hope this helps. Regards, Maksim. --- Maksim N.

DemoPages == SelfTest?! Standalone printer should do this. Without communications with your computer. The printer seems to be OK. :-) Cable (Centronix Interface, yes?): - Broken one (bad contacts, etc.). Try to find another. - Slightly WRONG one. Latest HP's goods assume FULL-duplex communica- tion with LPT port. Many printers we worked with before were HALF-duplex. The result is old LPT-cables are 18-wires ones but full-duplex protocol needs 25-wires cable (as I understand). I do not remember all these crazy names for IEE... standards. Try to find 25-wires Centronix cable. (BTW, I spent several days for my HP Deskjet 660c (which is full-duplex) to make it work. I went for 25w. LPT port: - maybe it does not understand <-> at the same time? How to check this I do not know :-( But very old LPT-ports definitely can not perform full-duplex communication. Great DOS gurus could help?! MANUAL: - I think there are huge number of options (too clever Printer!).

HP LaserJet 4M recognizes plain and PS files (by means of very Clever Mind :-). I.e. under DOS you simply copy myps.ps prn and get the result (printed text or picture but not PS-file hardcopy). I have no ideas about PCL command for mode switching and how your printer will be recognized by Windows. If I remember right a month ago there was discussion on how to make HP LJ+PS work under FreeBSD (printcap, filters, CRLF-problem for HP, etc.) Try to seek in mail-archive at FreeBSD.ORG. > Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The pcaudio device relies on the pca0 device in your config file, and is a very cpu-expensive method of getting the pc speaker to make a creditable attempt at producing music. Creditable when you consider the thing that's driving it is a timer, because when compared to the output of your PAS card, it sounds horrible. You want to try catting to /dev/audio for a test, not dev/pcaudio. If you have the PAS card, there's no reason to have that pca0 device. > > I disabled lpt0 and lpt1 with userconfig, i.e., booting kernel -c. > I tried some of the other devices associated with sound (pas0, nca4, > sb0); the test.au file overwrote the devices.

It's not a god idea to go around``copying'' device files since they are not normal files, and thus don't react nicely to commands like `cp'.

If I remember correctly, you have to have it on one of them, since the install program doesn't care for sequence of disks -- it just knows how many there are. This was the way with 2.0.5, I don't know if it's still valid for 2.1.

Jack Vogel has patches that will apply cleanly, if you can figure where to put them and add a file that was omited from the original patch set and sent under seperate cover. I'm sure Jack knows exactly who does and does not have his patches. 8-) 8-). To use Jack's patches, you must back out the source tree to the code from 28 Oct 1994. There are specific changes to locore.s that will prevent his patches from working, apparently for stack frame support in the kernel debugger (among other things). There are also a couple of coding areas and an assumption of a low memory reserve which was pulled out of newer code (it assumes because ther is an implied overlap in two locations in Jack's locore.s and mpcore.s). So you must have an account on FreeFall, or contact Jack directly to get the patches, and you must have CVS tree access to get the 28 Oct 94 checkout to work. CVS tree access isn't really a problem any more, it's publically pullable. The resulting patches give you a low grained (kernel entrancy is semaphored) parallelism which uses a processor anonymity model for scheduling. Such a model is good because it allows processors as schedulable resources, but is bad because of locality of reference issues regarding the L1 cache for each processor. For instance, you can't use this model and (easily) bind a process to a specific processor. You can make minor changes to the scheduler, like using a per processor preference queue and saving tasks that were running on the processor to the local queue, but you sacrifice the ability to migrate processes except in the idle case. I have a series of patches against one month old -current, which use the standard (new) kernel initialization mechanism. They don't work if you enable any of the kernel debugging or tracing, mostly because of the cruddy job I did of integrating locore.s. 8-). I have sent the patches to several people so far, but I am doing some abominable stuff with the page tables when I actually run using them. Peter Wemm was looking at integrating cannonically correct locore.s code that took into account the debugging and other issues, and when he's done, I'll reupdate the patches (they are mostly some additional files and a couple of small patches beyond the locore.s modifications, su the update shouldn't be bad).

Speaking of which, we are having a problem with a address on our majordomo runned mailing lists, like for some reason a digest goes out on 1/9/96 at 00:06 -800 PST so it bounces back to the list but it looks like it was the original digest headers since the From: and To: line didn't change. The problem is that even after removing the person(s) with the bouncing problem, it seems their system is resending the same bounce over and over to the lists, is there a way to completely filter out any messages to majordomo from that machine?

Here's my situation: I have: a Packard Bell 90mhz Pentium w/ PCI buses a 528M IDE hard drive a Matsushita Double Speed Drive a Cirrus Logic SVGA card w 1mb vram 8Mb ram a 14.4kbps Zoom Fax/modem and a bunch of other stuff that is probably not important I'm trying to do an Internet installation, but there are problems with the hard drive. I initially tried to install with a 170 mb partition divided up as follows: 80mb for /usr 16mb for swap 74mb for / and this configuration worked, but I discovered that I was just a few Meg short for the installation that I wanted. So, I went back to dos and stole a little space and repartitioned the hard drive again with a freeware partition program ("Partition Resizer" by John Lagonikas). Then, when I tried to install again, this time with 174Mb, I divided up the file systems as follows: 106Mb for / 60Mb for /usr 8Mb for swap However, when I try to write this partition configuration to disk, I get the following messages: *WARNING! Unable to swap to /dev/wd0s2b: Device not configured. *This may cause the installation to fail atsome point if you *don't have a lot of memory. Then, it tries to make a root file system in /dev/rwd0a, with this error message: *Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/rwd0a! *Command returned status 1 I tried to reboot with the "-c" option, and remove all unnecessary drivers, but I still got those error messages. Of course, I may have screwed that up, too. I would really appreciate any help.

The 'domain' entry should contain your local domain name. This is thought.org, but you're posting from tera.com. If you're posting from a different machine, it doesn't matter, if not you should change it. 2. The nameservers you're using are actually in England (try doing 'traceroute 158.152.1.193' and 'nslookup 158.152.1.193' if you don't believe me). As you seem to be in Washington State, I'm not surprised you're getting poor throughput to them 8-) I'd recommend you ask whoever you're connecting to what nameserver they recommend using. With any luck, they should say "use our nameserver, it's IP address is x.x.x.x". If they don't understand what you're talking about, find someone who does! Also, to get a better background on what's going on, do 'man 5 resolver' (unfortunately, this gets off to a rather confusing start by assuming that "a normally configured system" runs a nameserver).

I've got an HP LaserJet 5MP at home and it works great with a2ps (available as a package/port). I only send postscript stuff to it, but it worked right out of the box with a very simple printcap. I believe it autodetects Postcript or PCL by default. Check out the extensive section on printing in the FreeBSD handbook. Sean Kelly did a great job! If you have problems with your printcap, you can email me offline and I'll send you mine.

Verify in your machines CMOS configuration that your parallel port(s) are enabled and at the correct IO ports and IRQs. Also verify that you don't have a sound card or ethernet card trying to use IRQ 5 (or 7). Verify that your FreeBSD kernel has lpt support compiled in. You should be able to dump files to the device file (as root) to verify printer connectivity "cat /etc/rc.local >/dev/lpt0" If you boot to DOS, you should be able to print straight ASCII via "copy config.sys lpt1" If you can't get the DOS printing to work, you'll be hard pressed to get the FreeBSD working. > Also, HP's documentation claims that the LJ-5MP will automatically > work with either PCL or PostScript.

The printer can take postscript, PCL, or HPGL at any time (actually at the beginning of a job) It figures out which is which by looking at the first few bytes of the input stream. For example: The following ASCII text if sent to the printer will draw a box in the lower left hand corner of the page (note, the actual file sent to the printer must not have the initial leading spaces that I introduced for readability): %!PS 100 100 moveto 200 100 lineto 200 200 lineto 100 200 lineto 100 100 lineto stroke showpage The "%!" at the start tells the printer to go into PostScript mode for the remainder of the print job. A vanilla ASCII file will "leave" the printer in PCL mode which by default uses 80 columns by 66 lines courier font printout. > > Thanks in advance for any suggestions. > > -csw > > FreeBSD does not have a bi-directional parallel port driver :-( But I think you still need a bidirectional cable to keep the printer happy. I have not contacted HP to get a manual on how to program (configure) the printer programmatically, so I've been booting to DOS if I need to change the default resolution, memory status, page tray selection preference, etc. settings. If you get that information, please let me (and the rest of the BSD community) know about it. If you have not already done so, carefully read the Printing section of the FreeBSD handbook (http://www.freebsd.org) it is a truly useful document. And I'm not just saying that because I'm friends with the author.

It installed flawlessly and fixed many problems/bugs I had under 2.0.5! The only problem is, I can't get X to run. I use the configxf86 ( or whatever it is ) to creat the XF86Config file, then edit it for my monitor and VGA card using the values I had in my old config file, from 2.0.5. When I type 'startx' it starts going, the screen flips into a graphics mode then the system hangs and reboots. I piped the output from startx to a log fil and found that it was dying with a sig 10 ( bus error ). I find it curious that this had popped up now... Any ideas/suggestions?

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I do a lot of computer work, that involves having to backup and restore data for clients (i.e. storing a backup of their files off-site at my office, or backing up stuff temporarily before an software install, in case it screws up). So, to that end, I've been looking at portable tape drives. Because I want to get a "least common denominator" drive that can work in any system without any additional hardware, and for ease of installation, removal, and transporting it, I have chosen a parallel port drive. This is because I *KNOW* that my clients will have a parallel port, whereas I DON'T know if they'll have a SCSI card, and I don't want to lug my (very expensive) SCSI card around with me. The particular drive I'm looking at is the Iomega Ditto Universal Travan. This is because it can read and write the standard formats, including QIC-80 (i.e. DC2120), which a lot of my clients (and a lot of my friends) have. And it's small, lightweight, and the software is good. Oh yeah, and most importantly, it's the cheapest -- around $150 or so, whereas the Colorado and Conner portable units are still around $300 -- whoa! What I'm trying to ask is: Are these drives compatible with FreeBSD? My first thought was "no", because I remember (in my Linux days) that they were saying that the parallel port drives use some proprietary protocol that the vendors aren't about to release to the public. But I dunno if that has changed or not, and besides, that was Linux. Maybe FreeBSD has a working driver? Failing that, is there a way I can backup and restore to/from a FILE in UNIX -- preferably using dump, but other systems are OK)? That way, I can do my FreeBSD backups to a file on DOS partition, then run DOS and use the backup software to back it up onto tape. What's the command line to use? Your answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is whre the PCI bus used to be probed... Yes, the PCI and EISA probes were moved ahead of the ISA probes so that PCI/EISA devices that have an ISA compatibility mode would be found by the "safer" PCI/EISA probes first. It seems that we have some kind of dependancy on the old probe order that is not immediately obvious. The 3Com cards seem to exacerbate this issue. Does anyone have any ideas on this one? I don't have a PCI system to test on at the moment, but the only thing that the ep driver does that looks funny is its manipulation of port 0x100. I haven't looked at the 590 driver yet. > >Richard Puga >puga@maui.com -- Justin T.

After working with what seems to be hundreds of different modems, I just happen to recently hook up a USR Sportster 28.8 (33.6) to a Cyclades 16Y and it didn't work! It's my first experience with the USR Sportster. After about 8 hours of analysis I'm still at loss as to why it doesn't work correctly. The manifeststation of the problem is that for most applications it works fine, but under mgetty 0.22, mgetty can't talk to it. It seems to be a DTR/hardware handshaking problem. At the time the Sportster is having problems, I can pull the serial cable off, and plug it into any number of other modems and it works fine. About a month ago a number of people reported troubles that sounded similar to what I have just experienced. Were you using USR Sportster modems? I've also found that if you set the Sportster to ignore DTR, and rely on mgetty's use of '+++' to hangup the line things work ok. -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com speakfree.mpress.com [use -t (GSM)] How to program in c++: // From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 11 01:26:09 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA12967 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 01:26:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailserv.uni-tuebingen.de (mailserv.uni-tuebingen.de [134.2.250.102]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA12941 for ; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 01:25:46 -0800 (PST) From: Michael.Class@zdv.uni-tuebingen.de Received: from ambixpc2.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de by mailserv.uni-tuebingen.de with SMTP (PP); Thu, 11 Jan 1996 10:25:18 +0100 Received: from ambixpc2.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de (ambixpc2.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de [134.2.1.33]) by ambixpc2.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id KAA29263 for ; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 10:25:17 +0100 Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 10:25:17 +0100 (MET) Reply-To: Michael.Class@zdv.uni-tuebingen.de Subject: PCI-System Problems To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, recently I switched some components in my home-pc.

You might want to examine /sys/i386/isa/tw.c; that's a device driver that uses the parallel port to talk to an X-10 TW523 power controller. It'd be nicer if it were a loadable kernel module, which is probably what you want your driver to be.

In order to run a remote xterm, the host you're logged into has to have a netowrk connection to your machine, or you have to run a program that makes it think it has a network connection. running ppp is one way to get a network connection. A way of making a system think it has a network connection is to use slirp. Running a serial communications program like seyon or kermit alone is not sufficient, because there is no network connection. > > thanks > > fallot@ecc.nyseg.com > > ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

I have to set them up to run, and when they die (which unfortunately they do :( ) I have to go re-start them.

Do you mean you can't talk to the modem? Or do you mean that you can talk to the modem, but the modem can't talk to a different modem over the phone lines? The second is (potentially) a well-known firmware bug with some revs of the US Robotics modems -- the lock up when being talked to by Rockwell chipset modems.

I can't give you a good explanation of the differences between the two, but I can tell you that just yesterday I downloaded the BSDI version of Netscape Navigator and ran it on FreeBSD 2.1R with little difficulty. All I had to do to get it to work was set the XNLSPATH and XKEYSYMDB variables. It came with two files ('C' and 'nls.dir') that it needed, but were not included with X11R6. Oddly enough, the X11R6 nls directory had an empty subdirectory 'C' instead of a file 'C'. Anyone know anything about what that's all about?

I have hit a roadblock in my attempts to install FreeBSD on my nice shiny new Pentium system. If anyone has any ideas/comments/solutions to share, I would be extremely grateful. My system is a P133, Adaptec 2940, Conner 1.06GB, 16 MB unit with a CDROM which is not supported by FreeBSD (should not be a problem). I have Windows 95 installed in the first partition and I am attempting to install FreeBSD into the second partition (~517MB). The instalation process goes exactly as documented until it fails. The boot floppy works correctly. The disk is recognized with the proper geometry. The second parttion get intialized properly as a freebsd partition and the boot manager is installed correctly as well. I am able to slice the new parition and all the slices are newfs'd properly when that moment arrives. I am able to select the subsets I want to install (including bin of course). Since my CDROM is unsupported, I have copied all of the distribution sets into my DOS parition under c:\freebsd and I have copied the floppies directory as well. Everything is as it should be until the program tries to load the first subset from the DOS partition. At this point there is no further disk access and a message box pops up sayng that it wwas unable to copy the root files from the selected distribuion. That's it. there is no more information available. I would really like to get this up. I am wondering if ther might be some issue with a partitioned Windows 95 disk and it's dos parition??

Everything is fine when I log in from a 14.4kb modem but if I call from a 2400 bauds modem, it works fine but I get garbage after a long ls -l listing or a ps -axu listing. What is wrong, the connection is ok my modem attached to my 2.1 machine switches to 2400 bauds correctly and the connection is ok, it's only the garbage that lets programs like vi or pine behave unusable. Any clues?

No, Seyon is a terminal program. If you want to run X applications you will need IP over your serial connection (either SLIP or PPP). I use iijppp to do this sort of thing.

I was logged on remotely and on the remote machine (using the modem) had typed +++ to the communications program to allow me to look at the modem's configuration. After I typed ATO, I could not receive anything from the FreeBSD machine. I hung up and called back, only to have it ring and ring without answering. When I got home, the following lights on the Courier V.34 modem were SOLID: HS AA cd oh RD SD TR MR rs CS syn arg/fax The ones in caps were solid. Yes, RD and SD too. (Which is very unusual for the Courier. Its lights are not solid unless there really is data constantly going in and out.) The RS light is the RTS line; and the CS light is the CTS line. The AA light should not have been on. I don't know why it was, unless some data got garbled that was sent to it. (mgetty does not use the modem's auto-answer; instead, it monitors for a "RING" signal from the modem) Some details on the lock...I was able to use the Alt-F? keys to switch between VTY's (all were empty and at login prompt except the one at Alt-F1 which was at login prompt but showed the messages shown above). The system did not respond to my keyboard commands. There was no cursor. Incidentally, pressing Print Screen switched VTYs also. Ctrl-Alt-Del did not reboot. Incidentally, FreeBSD has always worked perfectly with communications prior to this. It also doesn't appear to be the modem's problem. After FreeBSD rebooted (the RD and SD lights went off immediately when I pressed the Reset switch), it properly initialized the modem and the modem is now working fine without me ever having to touch it or send any manual commands to it.

Some things have, of course, slipped my mind. I login from lots of places -- home, school, work, etc. and would rather have an online reference of the kind that there is with C. > 2 - read the header files in /usr/include/g++ > > (Unless I'm missing some man pages that someone has miraculously found) Well, header files can maybe explain syntax, but they rarely do a good job of explaining how to use the function or whatever..

It sounds like you have the hardware flow control not working correctly. Make sure your modem has the rts and cts lines wired up, and that yuo have the modem optioned for hardware flow control. You see, when you log in at 2400, the modem at the host is still talking to the host at the full rate, and expects to be able to tell the host to "wait up" when the host starts to overrun the modem's buffer. If you don't do that, you will see garbage on even moderately long listings. > > Any clues? > > > Thanks > > Samy > > ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

Thank you very much btw for a great release. I may have missed some obvious places to look for answers as I was doing the install, but here are things I got confused about. I have no idea where to find the doc on the fixit floppy. I thought I looked in the handbook, faq and used man and locate? I think the -c option should be the default on the boot floppy the first time it is booted. I could have fixed many of the problems I had during installation if I had understood what I could do with the -c option: I redid the installation when the first kernel hung as it tried to switch to sd0a. My scsi card was set to a nonstandard irq.... I have had continuing problem with setting the media type as CDROM in sysinstall. Sometimes it would work. Sometimes it would not find the cdrom. I would mount it and then unmount it and finally it would work, I did not find a pattern. I haven't done anything with sysinstall.debug Overall it was a much easier and more understandable installation than any other OS I've used. thanks \t -------- Terry Braun tab@talking.talking.com Talking Networks, Inc. 510-525-6696 From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 11 16:28:27 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA07899 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 16:28:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from parody.tecc.co.uk (parody.tecc.co.uk [193.128.6.83]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA07888 for ; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 16:28:20 -0800 (PST) Received: (from fqueries@localhost) by parody.tecc.co.uk (8.6.12/8.6.12) id AAA01515; Fri, 12 Jan 1996 00:26:21 GMT Date: Fri, 12 Jan 1996 00:26:21 GMT From: James Raynard Message-Id: <199601120026.AAA01515@parody.tecc.co.uk> To: michles@haven.ios.com CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-reply-to: (message from Emil Mikhles on Sun, 7 Jan 1996 21:09:36 -0500 (EST)) Subject: Re: Problems with top.

It does this by opening /dev/mem, which is only readable by user root and group kmem:- bash# ls -l /dev/mem crw-r----- 1 root kmem 2, 0 Nov 18 21:06 /dev/mem There are several ways around this:- 1) Make top setuid root, so it has root user privileges regardless of who is running it.

My configuration: wd0 is Windows 95 only. wd1 is FreeBSD only. During the installation of FreeBSD 2.1R to wd1, I carefully chose none for the mbr or multi-boot code, but FreeBSD 2.1R still does something to wd0 which makes the Win95 hard drive unbootable. How to recover wd0.... Need to rewrite the mbr using Ontrack DM after booting from a DOS floppy. After that, need to reboot from a DOS disk one more time to set the DOS/WIN95 partition active on wd0 with fdisk. After that, everything is back to normal. 3 Questions: 1) Is there any chance that a future version of FreeBSD will truly not touch wd0? 2) And can fbsdboot.exe be made as an option to boot a kernel from wd1 instead of wd0? Or am I just missing the syntax somewhere? 3) Will FreeBSD 2.1R soon notice my Teac 4X Model 55A cdrom drive?

That's what the source is for :-) In /usr/src/libexec/atrun/atrun.c: if (fscanf(stream, "#! /bin/sh\n# mail %8s %d", mailbuf, &send_mail) == 2) { mailname = mailbuf; pentry = getpwnam(mailname); if (pentry == NULL || pentry->pw_uid != uid) { syslog(LOG_ERR,"Userid %lu mismatch name %s - aborting job %s", (unsigned long) uid, mailname, filename); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } } Thus, the problem is that the mailto uid does not match the uid running the at job.

Yes, it's possible. According to Linux installation instructions, you first have to create the partition under OS/2, format it (FAT is fine), and add it to Bootmanager's menu. Then, when installing FreeBSD, delete that partition and replace it with fbsd's. Your best bet would be to create a 30 Meg partition for the BSD root filesystem and tag that as your freeBSD partition for OS/2's bootmanager. On my system, I've got DOS and OS/2 on the first HDD, and FreeBSD on the second, with the OS/2 Boot Manager booting all three. I created a 20M root partition on the second drive (a primary partition) and added it to Bootmanager's menu. I then ran the FreeBSD install and had it create another partition using the rest of the disk for the /usr filesystem. I then deleted the primary partition I'd created under OS/2 and had FreeBSD create a 20M partition in its place. // ------------------------------------- | |\ _,,,---,,_ // Roland Jay Roberts - Team OS/2 - | ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ // Internet: jay@map.com | |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' // FidoNet: Roland Roberts @ 1:321/305.5 | '---''(_/--' `-'\_) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 11 23:45:48 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA04720 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 23:45:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from wormhole (root@wormhole.map.com [204.71.19.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA04713 for ; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 23:45:45 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: Date: Fri, 12 Jan 96 01:56:52 EST From: jay@map.com (Roland Jay Roberts) Reply-To: jay@map.com (Roland Jay Roberts) To: ANDRSN@HOOVER.STANFORD.EDU Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailer: Roland Roberts's PMMail v1.1 Subject: Re: Device Problems Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 09 Jan 1996 22:13:47 -0800 (PST) you wrote: >I compiled a new kernel with ProAudio Spectrum 16 and soundblaster >stuff in it.

I've just bought the FreeBSD CD and a second EIDE hard drive for my PC. I've installed the drive (off the same controller as the primary) and it's recognised by fdisk. I booted bsd from a floppy and did an install to the new (slave) drive - wd1 (I believe). I booted from floppy again and at the boot prompt told it to use wd1 (had to specify /kernel.GENERIC as it couldn't find /kernel). Wow did I see some errors. Some Debug ones (came up and went too fast) and superblock something or another. I get a prompt but can't do anything. I suspect that the problem may be that bsd thinks the root partition is on wd0. How can I tell it it isn't or re-install so as it uses wd1 (that's if this is the problem). I suppose I could disconnect wd0 and use wd1 as the only drive (would I have to repartition it to make it bootable for this to work? It's not bootable at the moment) then reconfigure the kernel to set the root partition to use wd1, then paste it all back together again. I really don't know what's required. Please help. Where can I get the doco on building a new kernel (in Mickey Mouse language)? Is all this doco on the CD? I can't read the faqs into windows notepad. Looks like there are no line feeds in the text. Will I always be faced with having to boot from floppy if bsd is on the second disk? Am I stupid or is this hard? Many thanks for you time. Regards, Mike.

Bustek 742a rev E SCSI adapter Western Digital "Paradise" VGA card 3COM 3C503 ethernet card The bt device driver does not recognize the Bustek card, however the Adaptec driver recognizes the SCSI card as an aha card. (The 742 EISA card has an Adaptec 1540 "compatibility" mode which I believe is what the driver is seeing) The SCSI adapter card is set to port 330, IRQ12, DMA 5. The aha driver doesen't obtain the correct disk geometry from the SCSI adapter card. If I boot a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 installation disk (the Bustek/UltraStor kernel) it recognizes the Bustek/Buslogic card properly and obtains the correct disk geometry, etc. The version of FreeBSD I'm using is right off the 2.1 CD that Walnut Creek is shipping. I called Bustek and I'm having some updated firmware sent out, perhaps this will correct the problem. Unfortunately, I don't have any current 2.1 source unpacked anywhere, nor a machine to compile it on, so I am unable to generate a corrected 2.1 kernel, even if I knew what the problem was. I am not adverse to FTP'ing the entire package from Walnut creek, assuming one of the newer releases would correct the problem, as I mainly spent the money on the CD to financially support the FreeeBSD development effort. (although as the machine has a CD and I was planning on using it it sure would be nice to do the install from that.) I went into the device config and attempted to play around with the parameters for the bt driver, but this didn't make any difference. I get the sense that the bt driver is being rewritten mainly for the PCI version of BusLogic's cards. If you already know about this bug and have a fix for me please send it, or perhaps if one of the newer kernels would work with the CD to install it, please let me know. Otherwise, if I can't get 2.1.xx up on this machine I'll just go back to 1.1.5.1 Thanks, tedm%toybox@agora.rdrop.com From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 12 01:13:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA09559 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 12 Jan 1996 01:13:31 -0800 (PST) Received: from btp1da.phy.uni-bayreuth.de (btp1da.phy.uni-bayreuth.de [132.180.20.32]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA09553 for ; Fri, 12 Jan 1996 01:13:20 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by btp1da.phy.uni-bayreuth.de (8.6.12/8.6.12) id KAA11908; Fri, 12 Jan 1996 10:10:16 +0100 Message-Id: <199601120910.KAA11908@btp1da.phy.uni-bayreuth.de> Subject: Re: difficulties compiling kernel To: nejenen@deepcove.com (Neil C.

Are you using 'card-services' under DOS to configure it, or are you using the 3COM configuration utility (w/out card-services loaded) to save the settings on the card? You must do the latter until the PCCARD support is better integrated. I've used the 3C589[BC] cards under FreeBSD w/out problems on 4 different laptops, so it *should* work. Also, did you note that IOMEM. Under DOS it's not mentioned, but in the 3COM utility you can see it by looking at the 'card stats' or something like that. If you need more help, send me private email.

Stop In any case, you are missing the Makefile which tells it how to install netscape, so you would want to copy it back off the cdrom in /ports/net/netscape. However, netscape is an exception since the port is out of date. Instead, go get the netscape archive yourself from netscape home (grab the i386-unknown-bsd version), extract it somewhere, and copy netscape to /usr/X11R6/bin. Then su to root and do this: cd /usr ln -s X11R6 X11 This makes a symlink from X11R6 to X11. Then run netscape. If it complains about missing keys, look in the readme and copy the nls/ directory to the indicated location. I think that covers it. Theproblem is the port is built for beta2 but b2 isn't around anymore -- it's up to beta5. > Also would like to find help in setting this machine up to be a Web server > (multi home style) with Apache. Any ideas, the documentation is unclear to me. Make the apache port (it's on the cd in /ports/networking??/apache, copy to /usr/ports and do make all install in apache's dir). Then check the web sites www.apache.org for more info. The basic config info is NCSA's, look on hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu. I'm being quite general here, if you want more / detailed info drop me a line.

I downloaded the boot.flp, root.flp, rawrite.exe and all of those bin.?? files for FreeBSD 2.1.0. Then I created the boot disk image and root image onto 3.5" disks. In my excitement I deleted my entire DOS partition, losing all of my bin.?? files in the process. Anyways, I created a partition for BSD and couldn't get it installed. But when I tried to delete the partition and create a DOS one again, FDisk reports that my IDE drive is only 12MB!! I can run the BSD disk and create a BSD partition for the full 516MB, but not a DOS one. If there is a BSD partition, and then I load DOS Fdisk and delete the non-DOS partition (which is reported at 516MB) I still get only a maximum drive space of 12MB. What can I do??? Chris.

I should say here, however, that in the boot sequence after the two lines for wd0 and two lines for wd1, there is a line for wc1, but the second line for wc1 doesn't appear.

The nitty-gritty on what is happening: Because you are booting the FreeBSD boot disk, you aren't loading the OnTrack code. The OnTrack code operates by redirecting INT 13 after loading an INT 13 to LBA and geometry traslantion TSR. When you tell BSD to install its boot manager, it goes to the boot device (wd0) and rewrites the boot code, assuming that the valid partition table entry there (which is the Ontrack relocation entry for the DOS partition table) is the one it wants to write. Basically, because you installed onto the second disk, BSD became confused. In reality, you could call this a BSD bug, because BS should see the OnTrack partition ID on the wd0 disk and realize that the MBR it is supposed to write to enable the boot selector is actually 64 sectors further in on the disk. The workaround is to use the DOS version of the OS-BS install from a DOS prompt after booting DOS from wd0 (if you are booting Windows95, you will need to pick the "reboot to DOS prompt" option from the "Shutdown" on the Windows95 "Start" menu or the install will be prevented, since they guard their boot track as a virus safeguard). This means you should *NOT* install the boot selector when you install BSD on the second drive, since the boot selector must always be written to the boot drive's boot sector (and that's not where BSD thinks it is in the current release of the install tools).

We had some complaints last year from ISPs that were having problems with the speed of password database updates over the 10,000 mark. These bugs were rapidly squashed, so I suspect that there are quite a number of people running systems of that sort of size. It's my impression that you'll hit the limit of the hardware you're running on before you hit any limits in FreeBSD.

Only problems I had was that the Matshushita CD-ROM driver would not compile (something about NMAT??). So I commented it out of my kernel configuration. The only other thing that happened was that the services file got truncated to 5 entries. What a surprise when telnet and Popper were not working! Fortunately, I DID MAKE A BACKUP OF ETC. So I just copied the old services file to the etc directory. I hope this was okay? I assume the upgrade option on the CD-ROM copied all the new src files to my hard drive, or should I have selected a Full Installation from the NEWBIE Menu? I have tested Xinsides X-Server and a few other programs and have had no problems or core dumps or anything of that nature. I guess the install also updated my mt program, but I cannot get the 'retension' command to work. I get an unknown command error. Is there an update to this, as I have seen E-mail about this command posted? Should I upgrade all my ports to the 2.1 versions or is it okay to use the 2.05 ports I originally installed? Any suggestions, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

On my machine n3lxx, my FreeBSD installation is the first partition on the disk, and I mount the dos partition with: mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s1 /dos On my other (older) machine, dos is in the third of 4 partitions, so to do the same mount, I issue: mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s3 /dos When I want to refer to one of the BSD partitions, say what you name sd0a above, and on n3lxx its on the 2nd slot of the partition, I refer to /dev/sd0s2a. This means first (zeroth) disk, second partition slot (this number isn't 0 based, to better confuse you), and the 'a' BSD partition. Just to make things real clear, the machine's partition table holds only 4 partitions, so if you go looking in /dev, you'll only see entries for sd0s1, sd0s2, sd0s3, and sd0s4. Probably only your FreeBSD partition will have the BSD devices like sd0s2a. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!

Maybe it's a problem with cpio refusing to copy an older/newer/whatever file, Jordan? The /etc/services in question is that one from sysinstall, it's supposed to be overwritten with the right one during installation of the bindist. (The only hint i've got from somebody else is that his machine might have had an entirely corrupted system date. I think cpio is looking at the file date?) > I guess the install also updated my mt program, but I cannot get the > 'retension' command to work. I get an unknown command error. Is there an > update to this, as I have seen E-mail about this command posted? retension? This is in FreeBSD-current, not 2.1.

Copy your kernel config to a safe place 2. rm -r /usr/src/sys 3. Reinstall the kernel sources I've found this is a pretty good solution for problematic compiles, when the config file is OK.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello all! We've been debating here as to how we want to do IP addressing in the future. Right now, we have two student dorms online, with the rest coming online in fall. That will total out to be ~2000 or so people (+/- 1000 :) ). Right now we just staticly address each person an IP address when we install the software on the system. However, the rest of the University is on bootp right now which seems to be working ok. What I'd like to know is the pros-and-cons between the various ip assignment systems. I don't want to know which one is _better_ or any other possible points of contention. We need to know who is online and how to reach them. This way if we discover that someone is abusing the network we can get a hold of them. Please take this and similar security measures into account. We have a FreeBSD box available for whatever, if you want to know. These are the things I see so far (+ = good, - = bad): Static IP + Instantly on-line [this is important since we currently install the network software off the net, that might change] + Always works, even if server goes down - They can change their IP address easily ``static'' bootp (we get enet addr, we add to bootptab): + Track by enet address, which our hubs also run by (we can query the hubs as to who is connected to what port) + They change enet address, they don't work - Server goes down, everyone else can't connect ``dynamic'' bootp (they plug in, they get an address): + Instantly on-line - They change enet address, they still work (some network cards let you change the ethernet address) I'm asking since I'm not so familiar with bootp or bootpd under FreeBSD. Anything you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

I am testing with is a laptop running Novell's tcp/ip software. I do a: net link lpt1: \\\ and all I get back is invalid removte device. For printer name I am using lp, which is in the printcap. This same command seems to work on our HP server. The messages file does indicate I get logged in, and if I leave off the username and password I get an authorization error. Any Idea on how to make this work, or any log files that can be checked for error messages? Does Novell do something non-standard with the PCNFS printing? Oh, and what about exporting the directory that PCNFS uses for file transfer. I exported the file system with -alldirs, but this seems like a security hole.

What you are asking for is a kernel emulation environment. It *is* possible... UnixWare has one for certian NetWare drivers. I rememebr before I left Novell, Kurt Mahon had some NLM's running in a UnixWare kernel. Might be OK for OracleWare, but would probably be a bit redundant for the NFS NLM or TCP/IP, etc. 8-). For network drivers, I'd suggest Novell server ODI binaries. I can point you at mpst of the necessary documentation (an ftp site at Utah State University (usu.edu) if you become serious about actually writing something. If you get Novell's driver develeopement kit, that will help as well, though it will only document the interfaces that an ODI driver may want, that's a lot. I'd suggest NDIS, too, though that's a bit harder. If we had kernel paging, I'd suggest Windows95 and WindowsNT VXD's. After all that, *then* I'd say go for SCO. Since SCO bought (is buying?) USL from Novell, I expect all their drivers to change from SVR3 + SCO proprietary crap to SVR4 + SCO proprietary crap in the near future, so it might be a waste for a while.

The FreeBSD ep* driver doesn't auto-detect which interface you are using. The card came with a DOS configuration utility that will let you set the card to use one of those three interfaces, or auto. Make sure it's specifically set to the interface you are using.

First, the install script that SWiM used must have been for an older version of FreeBSD, because it referenced directories that did not exist with my vanilla 2.1.0-RELEASE. Anyway, that is not really the problem. The REAL problem is that I get this error when trying to untar one of the seven supplied floppies (1.44): fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 216 of 216-235 (ST0 40 ST1 4 ST2 0 cyl 6 hd 0 sec1) tar: read error on /dev/rfd0: Input/output error I'm assuming the floppy is corrupted. Has anyone else had any problems with SWiM Motif? What is a recommendation for a good Motif for FreeBSD? Is Motif worth it? And if the above error is not due to a bad disk, but some other fault, please tell me before I write to the distributor asking for another diskette. Thanks!

This might be classed as an OS-BS bug, or an install bug (from you not putting OnTrack on both disks. Putting it on both disks would probably fix the boot sector damage on wd0 coincidently. > Hmmm... maybe if just before installing the boot selector, the > installation program could check if Ontrack DM is there.

What I think I would like to do is make a small modification to the kernel to compare incoming and outgoing traffic against a fixed IP# ; if it matches, increase a kernel-level buffer variable to record the total size. I think this can be done in ip_output and ip_input (Don't care about icmp and others ; really only care about TCP.), but I'm not completely sure where to look. If you could give me some hints about where the packet destined for the remote system would be seen within the kernel, how to find its source / destination addresses, and total size of the packet, this would be extremely useful to me.

Thanks Brian, I need it for two upcoming CS classes. I just checked, and a particularly annoying bug dealing with disabling and re-enabling displays has been fixed.

Are you sure you've copied them with the proper subdir info, as is listed in INSTALL.TXT, e.g.: 2.3 Before installing from a DOS partition: To prepare for installation from an MS-DOS partition you should simply copy the files from the distribution into a directory called "FREEBSD". For example, to do a minimal installation of FreeBSD from DOS using files copied from the CDROM, you might do something like this: C> MD C:\FREEBSD C> XCOPY /S E:\DISTS\BIN C:\FREEBSD\BIN C> XCOPY /S E:\FLOPPIES C:\FREEBSD\FLOPPIES Asssuming that `C:' was where you had free space and `E:' was where your CD was mounted. Note that you need the FLOPPIES directory because the `root.flp' image is automatically looked for there when you're doing a DOS installation. For as many `DISTS' as you wish to install from DOS (and you have free space for), install each one in a directory under `C:\FREEBSD' - the BIN dist is only the minimal requirement. Assuming that the answer to this is a "yes", we can go on to further debugging.

This was discussed in the mailing lists a few weeks ago. To solve the problem, delete /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/matcd/matcd.h, do a make depend and a make, and the kernel will be fine.

I've been using SWiM Motif 2.0 for FreeBSD for a few months and haven't run across any problems other than the installation script not being correct. It does sound like you've got a bad floppy. I'd offer to send you the missing (corrupted) floppy, but I don't think that would be legal.

The connection is made successfully but there are delays in displaying what I'm typing , as if there is a buffer that gets emptied every 5 or 6 seconds. I'm using a 14.4 modem and I tried to change the mtu/mru to 296 without any amelioration.. When I use netdcape it seems to be faster, but it becomes unusable in terminal mode (in an xterm). What should I look for? Thanks. PS: I'm using crtscts and passive in myy options file.

What should my partition be labeled as? Well, you should have a disklabel that looks something like this (this is running from memory so help me ...) wd0 (wd0 info here....) --- wd0a xxMB UFS Y / wd0b xxMB SWAP wd0e xxMB UFS Y /usr ^^^^ These are the mountpoints you need to set. Use the M command (???) to set the mountpoint on wd0a to '/', wd0e to '/usr' and so on. If you're confused, try hitting 'a' to put in the ``defaults''. That should clarify things. Or try 'H'. Hope this helps, it's been a while since I've been in install :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@gladstone.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 13 23:18:05 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA17986 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 13 Jan 1996 23:18:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailgate.ericsson.se (mailgate.ericsson.se [130.100.2.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA17967 for ; Sat, 13 Jan 1996 23:18:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from egg.lmc.ericsson.se (egg.lmc.ericsson.se [142.133.32.1]) by mailgate.ericsson.se (8.6.11/1.0) with SMTP id IAA22958; Sun, 14 Jan 1996 08:17:51 +0100 Received: from chicago.lmc.ericsson.com (chicago.lmc.ericsson.se) by egg.lmc.ericsson.se (4.1/LME-2.2) id AA10851; Sun, 14 Jan 96 02:17:49 EST Received: by chicago.lmc.ericsson.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id CAA14650; Sun, 14 Jan 1996 02:16:54 -0500 Date: Sun, 14 Jan 1996 02:16:54 -0500 (EST) From: Samy Touati X-Sender: lmcsato@chicago To: "Daniel M.

In any case they're supposed to come out with a CD version of SWim for FBSD 2.1 very soon. Samy On Sun, 14 Jan 1996, Daniel M.

Huesch) Subject: Installation from DOS partition Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, just a quick one: I've been trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 on a 486 VLB machine this weekend, copying the distributions across the W4WG network from a PC with a SCSI CD drive but no HD space to a PC with no CD drive but heaps of HD space. I FIPSed the 1.2GB target HD, then deleted the extra Primary DOS partion. I made the boot.flp and root.flp images as suggested and booted the target machine with the -c option. I adjusted all device CONFs (except for the MS serial mouse which the system wanted to describe as a bus mouse and said "Signature not found -FF") and saved the changes. The boot process continued briefly until it aborted with "TRAP 12 - Page fault while in kernel mode", "Supervisor Read, Page not Present", various pointers etc, "Current process (1) Swapper", and finally, "Panic: Page Fault". What gives? (I have only 4MB in the target machine, but will add another 4MB when stores open!) Rgds Luis M.

When I create too much traffic across the modem link packets stop arriving even though the modem doesn't hang up. If I hang up the modem and recconnect I can't use the same ip number for either want or will that I used last time. When I reconnect, it either hangs up immediatly after negotiation, or connects fine but doesn't send any packets. If i reconnect with different ip numbers for want and will, everything works as it did before. note: I am dialing in to the bsd box which is running FreeBSD 2.1 and ijPPP. Thanks for any help, Charlie
