However, when it boots, i get one of two contiually recurring comments-- ix.cx.excesscoll or ix.cx.heartbeatix.cx.excesscoll I would guess that this message means something about either the cable being bad, or the card not being set up right. I have replaced the cable, and still get the messages. I also checked the configuration, and reset it (using softset, booted from a dos floppy), and they appear to be correct. Am I missing something here? The sysconfig file lists the card under network devices with the correct IP (192.216.222.213), and when FreeBSD boots the card is recognized. I once saw a message that said "ixintr without init" or something along those lines... if you can provide any information, or tell me that i am missing something, I would appreciate it greatly. ** Ryan | E-mail: ramses@lithium.cdrom.com ** ** Snedegar | Home Page: http://ccnet.ccnet.com/~ares ** From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 10 01:58:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA09918 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 01:58:31 -0800 (PST) Received: from nike.efn.org (gurney_j@garcia.efn.org [198.68.17.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA09909 for ; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 01:58:24 -0800 (PST) Received: (from gurney_j@localhost) by nike.efn.org (8.6.11/8.6.9) id BAA13367; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 01:59:48 -0800 Date: Sun, 10 Mar 1996 01:59:47 -0800 (PST) From: John-Mark Gurney Reply-To: John-Mark Gurney To: JULIAN Elischer cc: questions@freebsd.org, fbsd-atalk@enc.edu Subject: Re: netatalk /CAP users?

I have this crazy dream of building it all into some sort of crazy lowtech network based on UNIX if possible (no comments please - its just an experiment). The basic problem is that I'm not even getting past first base. I have downloaded BOOT.FLP, and used rawrite to make a boot disk. This disk has worked on every 386 machine I've tried with the exception of these motherboards. So what have I got? A variety of boards ranging from 386sx 16 to 386dx40 with 4M to 8M ram. All cards have an AMD bios (which I think could be the problem). These cards appear to assign ram between 640k and 1M to something called "adaptive" memory. I have tried changing all sorts CMOS parameters and played with various disk drive controllers and video cards with no success. What happens? PC happily reads boot floppy and decompresses the Kernel. When Kernel begins to boot, the system reboots and starts the whole process again. The -c option causes the computer to hang. Does anyone have a pointer to a possible solution? If these cards are unable to run FreeBSD is there a UNIX that will work? Etc..? I've searching the FAQ and question's database but can't seem to find an answer besides the possiblity that the cards just are not compatable, John John From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 10 07:12:10 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA02423 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 07:12:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from Sisyphos (Sisyphos.MI.Uni-Koeln.DE [134.95.212.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA02413 for ; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 07:12:06 -0800 (PST) Received: by Sisyphos id AA04563 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for questions@freebsd.org); Sun, 10 Mar 1996 16:11:35 +0100 Message-Id: <199603101511.AA04563@Sisyphos> From: se@zpr.uni-koeln.de (Stefan Esser) Date: Sun, 10 Mar 1996 16:11:35 +0100 In-Reply-To: "Rodney W.

You are among the least cooperative persons I ever met (on the net), when it comes to remote error diagnosis and debug sessions ...) There have been a few problems with tagged commands and buggy drive firmware, and they often could be solved by getting a firmware upgrade from the drive vendor. There are a few remaining incompatibilities with cheap CDROM drives (esp. the Chinon 525 and 535). Rod, you are the one who did wine about this before, since you ARE making money out of my work, by selling systems with the NCR, but were too busy to help diagnose the problem. There is one problem with multiple tagged START STOP UNIT commands being sent to certain IBM drives, and those start unit commands are bogus anyway, and while I could filter them out in the NCR driver, I'm waiting for a patch to the generic SCSI code to remove the situation. I have asked for the -DFAILSAFE for all install kernels just to be able to make the driver work, even though it does not use all performance features in the install process. Those will be available in all custom kernels, though ...

Hopefully someone of the list will be able to shed some light. For the requested device I entered ``cuaa1'' into the faxaddmodem script. According to the prrogram, my modem seems to be hung-up. Any ideas why this would be reported?? I've got a USR 28.8 V.34 Fax modem, strictly off the shelf...and so far it has worked pretty well. From my hacking my understanding is that /dev/cuaa? is the dial-out device and that /dev/ttyd? is the dial-in. Is this the case for the fax suite as well? Since adding the modem to the fax config the LED labeled ``ARQ/FAX'' has been flashing...but I've been able to connect via tip, cu, and ppp as before. (I'm working my way through the docs and haven't seen anything about the blinking LED....) If someone could send whatever config files are appropriate it would be a major help.

Chances are the problematic NE2000 card is set to an IRQ or IO port address that conflicts with something else in the machine. Find out what where the other hardware is at, then configure the card correctly. Had a similar problem with an Adaptec SCSI card - somehow the IRQ was set to the same one as the primary HD controller. Not good, since the machine wouldn't even boot enough to set the card to a different IRQ. // Roland Jay Roberts - Team OS/2 - // Internet: jay@map.com // FidoNet: Roland Roberts @ 1:321/305.5 From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 10 14:27:54 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA24367 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 14:27:54 -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 OAA24348 for ; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 14:27:48 -0800 (PST) Received: (from nate@localhost) by rocky.sri.MT.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id NAA09654; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 13:59:39 -0700 Date: Sun, 10 Mar 1996 13:59:39 -0700 From: Nate Williams Message-Id: <199603102059.NAA09654@rocky.sri.MT.net> To: Superuser Cc: Nate Williams , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: typeahead In-Reply-To: References: <199603101639.JAA09382@rocky.sri.MT.net> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > > One of my users pointed out that the programs we run on freebsd (pine, > > > tin, trn etc) dont behave as they do under sco in one basic respect. > > > > > > There seems to be in sco a typeahead buffner, and not on the freebsd. > > > > This is a bug in SCO's termio/termios implementation.

If you want type-ahead, modify trn to not use raw mode. Type-ahead was specifically designed out of trn for a purpose. If you like type-ahead, redesign these programs to not use raw mode.

If you want to stick to 2.21, have it redirect the messages to a folder, and read it with your favorite mail reader.

I think we should spend more of our time working to solve the problems in the system than disparaging FreeBSD's contributors. Perhaps the NCR driver has bugs. Well, so does the aic7xxx driver. Anyway you slice it, writing SCSI adapter firmware isn't easy. My only complaint about the NCR driver is that the format of the script is very difficult for an "outsider" to interpret which makes it hard for me to lend a hand in fixing bugs. Most of what I've learned in doing the aic7xxx driver is directly applicable to any SCSI controller, and many of the problems with one of the two drivers have been reproducible in the other during different times in their development cycles. One thing I'd like to know is if the two problems that were listed here (the Chinon sync problem, and the HP drive doing tagged queuing) are reproducible in the aic7xxx driver. >Regards, Stefan >-- > Stefan Esser, Zentrum fuer Paralleles Rechnen Tel: +49 221 4706021 > Universitaet zu Koeln, Weyertal 80, 50931 Koeln FAX: +49 221 4705160 > ============================================================================= >= > http://www.zpr.uni-koeln.de/~se -- Justin T.

This subject does not releate to freebsd too much, but I consider most people on this list are quite knowledgeable, actually this is one reason I switch from Linux to FreeBSD:-). So please execuse me if this mail does not make any sense to you. :-) The problem is releated to sd(session directory? for MBone). We want to implement an easy way for users to create a new session. They can fill-in a form on WEB, tell us the desired time and media(video/audio), then the underlying script will call sd up, at the appropriate time, and more importantly, with the appropriate parameters, like the starting/ending time, title, description, etc. So we are wondering is it possible to write this script in tcl/tk/expect? We really appreciate any info/help, as well as any book tips. We thank you so much for your attention and really sorry for making so much noise on the net:-) Best wishes to all of you! Oh, before I forget the machine we are using is a Pentium 90 powered by FreeBSD 2.0.5, a great OS. Just one more thing, personally I still think FreeBSD is slower than linux, on some aspects. But overall I consider FreeBSD better, much better if the machine is not standalone.

First, if I ping the alias domain from the host machine I get dup pings and secondly I can't traceroute to the domain from anywhere on the net.

Could anyone please give me some help with installing a new driver I downloaded from the freebsd site? I am running FreeBSD 2.1. The driver is if_fxp, written for the Intel Pro/100B card. I have been having a lot of trouble trying to install it, and I haven't found any helpful guide anywhere detailing which files to modify, or what exactly to modify in them. Maybe there is a tool for installing new drivers for FreeBSD 2.1? Here is what I have done so far, although starting over from the original versions is probably a better idea... I have included the file/directory name, as well as a brief description of what I did to it. Of course these were all backed up first. /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NEWKERNEL : device fxp0 /usr/src/sys/pci/ : I put both if_fxp.c and if_fxpreg.h in this directory /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/conf.c : I tried to add the driver to the system's jump tables, but it didn't work out too well. My new kernel won't compile -- it stops to give me a lot of error messages about how I installed the new driver. I would really appreciate any help, because I have not seen any progress over the last couple of days, and being a full time college student with a full time job doesn't leave you with much free time to begin with. ;) Thanks in advance, Dan Baritchi danb@airmail.net From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 10 20:31:35 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id UAA24496 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 20:31:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [192.216.222.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id UAA24491 for ; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 20:31:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.calweb.com (mail.calweb.com [165.90.138.20]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id UAA26601 for ; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 20:31:31 -0800 Received: from calweb.calweb.com (calweb.calweb.com [165.90.138.3]) by mail.calweb.com (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA10024; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 20:29:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from web1.calweb.com (rdugaue@web1.calweb.com [165.90.138.10]) by calweb.calweb.com (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id EAA15724; Mon, 11 Mar 1996 04:29:32 GMT Date: Sun, 10 Mar 1996 20:30:01 -0800 (PST) From: Robert Du Gaue To: Craig Shrimpton cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Question about Virtual domains (ifconfig alias) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > I can setup ifconfig aliases with: > > ifconfig de0 alias xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > > and they seem to work fine with two exceptions.

Doesn't act like that for us, we;re using Apache and doing pretty much the same thing. Have about 100 spoofed domains. We have an inhouse script to mass assign a block of spoofed domains, basically it executes the commands like this: /sbin/ifconfig de0 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx alias yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy (x = host, y = netmask) And then : /sbin/route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx localhost Works fine for us!

By default, SoundBlaster card IDE interfaces are configured to act as a tertiary IDE port; the default kernel only probes for primary and secondary. Solution: reconfigure your card, or recompile your kernel. I recommend reconfiguring your card; /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/isa.h has entries for IO_WD1 and IO_WD2 only, so I suspect that the kernel source doesn't currently support tertiary or quaternary IDE ports. If any kernel-hackers are listening, IO_WD3 is at irq11, port 0x1e8. IO_WD4 is at irq10, port 0x168. The tertiary IDE port on an SB16 can be moved to irq12 and the quaternary irq11, but I wouldn't call it standard. -- garth@dogbert.systems.sa.gov.au | Garth Kidd +61-8-207-7740 (voice) | Professional Services Division +61-8-207-7860 (fax) | Southern Systems | Adelaide, AUSTRALIA From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 10 21:07:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id VAA27796 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 21:07:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from haywire.DIALix.COM (root@haywire.DIALix.COM [192.203.228.65]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA26991 for ; Sun, 10 Mar 1996 21:05:13 -0800 (PST) Received: (from news@localhost) by haywire.DIALix.COM (8.7.4/8.6.12) id NAA06680 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 11 Mar 1996 13:04:43 +0800 (WST) X-Authentication-Warning: haywire.DIALix.COM: news set sender to usenet-request@haywire.dialix.com using -f Received: from GATEWAY by haywire.DIALix.COM with netnews for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org (problems to: usenet@haywire.dialix.com) To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 11 Mar 1996 01:10:03 GMT From: mark@seeware.DIALix.oz.au (Mark Hannon) Message-ID: Organization: Private FreeBSD site Subject: 2.1.0-RELEASE : bus errors, panics, freezes Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Over the last couple of weeks I have sent a number of questions in but I am still having problems after a major hardware upgrade. The HW setup seems to run DOS games & Windows with no problems but has been acting up under FreeBSD. An attempt to install linux yesterday ended in a kernel panic using one set of install disks and funny harddisk errors on the other. My basic question is: Are all these problems symptoms of some HW problem I have or are they related to FreeBSD??

The problems I have observed: 1) Dump causes bus_errors when dumping to the third HDD.

DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] DUMP: Broken pipe DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. Bus error (core dumped) Exectuting the same command sequence and redirecting /dev/null or /home (located on the first HDD) does not give a bus error. 2) System freezes. I have experienced a number of complete system freezes whilst running X. The symptoms are that the system locks completly (although I can still switch VTs and the mouse works) not allowing me to exec any new programs. After a while I either get a reboot or I hit reset. There is not usually any disk activity at these moments. 3) Panic's on shutdown -> vm_page_free: freeing busy page At more or less regular intervals I am getting panic's upon shutting down the system. I have never had this problem before. putte:/var/crash> gdb -k kernel.2 vmcore.2 GDB is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies of it under certain conditions; type "show copying" to see the conditions.

Yes - but check the list archives for a good discussion of the details to pay attention to. Optional parts of the kernel and required parts of the development utilities (compiler, for example) are covered by the Gnu public licence and so when you distribute those you follow the terms of their copyright in addition to the terms of the Berkeley copyright on the mandatory parts of the kernel. Try searching the FreeBSD mailing lists using the keyword "commercial". I recall Terry Lambert had what I considered to be a good summary, a derivative of which ought to go into the handbook. -- *** March 8, 1996: Our ISP is having problems. *** *** "hda.com" connectivity is now intermittent to nonexistent *** Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

First, you must install the 'libc' patches, which add a couple of routines to libc (you have to edit the Makefile.inc in the 'libc/net' subdirectory to include the file 'nsap_addr.c' and the 'nsap_addr.o' in the dependancies). It's been running for two weeks now with those changes! I'm getting ready to upgrade the DNS on a coupla boxes I've got in Ft. Wayne running as DNS servers for our Motors group. I have to do a Source upgrade 'cuz the systems are running 2.0.5 and with the changes I've got to do, I figured it was time to upgrade the O/S. Also, as a last item, I blew the entire "BSD" directory tree from the 4.9.3 distribution down into my 'freebsd.dir' build directory. The system built just fine then. Hope this helps.

I would like to have FreeBSD hookup with a MediaVision ProSonic 16 Sound Card (with SCSI controller). Actually, I'm interested in the SCSI controller portion of this card, for a start. The SCSI controller chip has the following markings: Future Domain 94178V 356713 VY06607-2 9C50 I tried the seagate device driver which has support for some Future Domain SCSI controllers (TMC-950 series), but the card wasn't found on probing, so the SCSI chip must not belong to that series. Is anyone working on this card? If not, I will attempt to write a driver (I have some experience with A/D controllers cards from awhile back).

One is a Gatway 4dx2-66v with an EISA bus that was loaded from a download of the Release from ftp.cdrom.com. On this machine ksh seems to be working ok. The other machine is an AT&T Globalist 600 with a PCI bus, and 2.1R was loaded from the cdrom. This is the machine that is giving me problems. If I'm logged on with an account that uses /bin/ksh has the shell and I try to run a tar tzf XXXX, I get a message about: tar: can't exec gzip: not a directory tar: child returned status 4 If I'm using /bin/csh as the shell, it works. Another problem seems to be that the path is not passed to any childern, one symptom of this is when I run startx, it says X not in PATH, yet if i put echo $PATH in startx before the xinit it shows /usr/X11R6/bin in the path. Or If I try and run a make, it says it can't find cc or ld. Anyone have any ideas why it would work on one machine, but not the other? On both machine ksh is compiled as a static, and both systems are "release setup" i.e. no major hacking/redesign, the gateway kernel has been recompiled to handle the ethernet card and the Globalist to handle the busmouse. Thanks for any assistance.

I presently have Alladin ghostscript-3.51 installed on my FreeBSD-2.1.0 system and it is working great. The only problem is I want to install hylafax and it requires gnu ghostscript-2.6.2. I have no problem installing gnu ghostscript in addition to Alladin ghostscript, bu t I was hoping to make the installation minimal. I was hoping the gnu ghostscript executables and device-drivers necessary for hylafax would be all I would have to install. Can gnu ghostscript use Alladin ghostscript's font files? That would for instance save me a lot of disk space. If this is possible, where would I look to help me make this type of installation. Thanks, J.

BTW, it's not due to bad memory. It's due to this new Goldstar CD-ROM. I took their older version - Goldstar 540 and it worked fine. And I had similar problem with WinNT - it defines it as ATAPI 1.2 CD-ROM and dies, when trying to install from it ;(. > Btw, I have a Reveal GCD-R542B (interesting that they have the same > number) Another btw, it says 'ATAPI streaming tapes not supported yet' on > my system. Obviously, Goldstar engineers had invented something very new ;).

AFAIK there's nothing magical about gs-2.6.2. Or take out the dependency entirely.

Modulo problems with lp.4 not existing I've done cd /usr/src make -DNOPROFILE world and I've rebuilt my kernel with the new sources. It's all running hunky dory. However, I notice there have been some changes to files in /usr/src/etc, particularly sysconfig. Is there any easy way to merge these changes in, automatically, or is it a case of picking through each file by hand and working out what I do and do not need? Also, after subsequent sup's I assume all I'm going to do is cd /usr/src make -DNOPROFILE depend all install which is only going to recompile what's changed. It looks like 'world' will re-make everything from scratch, which is not what I want. Also, can anyone point me at some sup servers somewhat nearer the UK? The handbook says that there should be a README file in /usr/share/examples/sup with list of alternate servers, but it's not present on my system.

Ideally, I would like a nbread(handle, buf, count); which would start reading from the disk, and could then notify the completion of I/O via select(). I don't know if fcntl() is enough: you can specify O_NONBLOCK for the file, but then I have no idea if select() on that descriptor would return immediately or will wait for at least one/the desired amound of bytes to be available.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello there, I've been using linux for the past 2 years (currently Slackware 3.0) and generally am quite happy with it. However, I just got a new 4.3 GB hard-drive, and decided to try out FreeBSD. I tried to install the minimal installation, (bin) to see if it works. 1. On the fresh SCSI hard disk (Seagate Hawk4) with the default settings on my new SCSI card (Buslogic 956C) I first made a couple of Linux partitions. I then went through the novice installation procedure and it seemed to go OK. I did not install anything on the boot manager, expecting to see an option for a boot floppy later on. 2. After the installation, I checked the disk and there seemed to be overlap partition errors. Going back, I enabled the >1GB option on the SCSI card BIOS, remade the Linux partitions and tried again to install FreeBSD. This time I get correct disk geometry, but end up with a panic message "vm_alloc" and the system reboots. 3. Any advice/suggestions on above? BTW is there a way to boot by floppy after system installation, or do I have to choose the bootmanager option? And how to I pass parameters to the kernel to recognize my 128MB RAM (it seems to see only 64)?

This is meta-obscure. You're running into the soft user limits (I don't know what they're really called) which limit file opens. man limit for more information. Unfortunately, sh doesn't have built-ins to manipulate these limits. csh, on the other hand, does. The best solution is probably for someone to write limit commands that work under sh; however, barring that, the following should do: csh -c "unlimit; named -b /etc/namedb/named.boot" I also run into this. I've been fortunate in that I've been around the system the last few times it's rebooted, and have noticed these problems reasonably quickly.

Perhaps the I agree, and what I said above was in no way meant to be any form of attack on any person, it was a simple statement of my opinion that the NCR firmware is in desperate need of a rewrite. What basis do I have for saying this. Well, the NCR provided loadable firmware with SCSICAM does not have the problems that I am seeing from the FreeBSD firmware, thus it is possible to make the NCR work with a chinnon in sync mode, thus it is a FreeBSD firmware/driver bug. > NCR driver has bugs. Well, so does the aic7xxx driver. Anyway you > slice it, writing SCSI adapter firmware isn't easy. My only complaint > about the NCR driver is that the format of the script is very difficult > for an "outsider" to interpret which makes it hard for me to > lend a hand in fixing bugs. Agreed. It is also very hard for a person that has learned the NCR compiler to try and and use the current tool in FreeBSD due to the disparity between the two. > Most of what I've learned in doing the > aic7xxx driver is directly applicable to any SCSI controller, and > many of the problems with one of the two drivers have been reproducible > in the other during different times in their development cycles. > One thing I'd like to know is if the two problems that were listed > here (the Chinon sync problem, and the HP drive doing tagged queuing) > are reproducible in the aic7xxx driver. The chinnon drives work fine in sync mode with the aic7xxx driver, and have for a long long time. The HP C3725S is working fine with the aic7xxx driver as of 3 weeks ago, and on a March 9 build of -stable, are tags on or off by default in -stable for the aic7xxx driver as I am running GENERIC kernels and have not tweeked anything? -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 11 12:52:42 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA14949 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 11 Mar 1996 12:52:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from host.blvl.igs.net (gateway.blvl.igs.net [198.53.168.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA14931 for ; Mon, 11 Mar 1996 12:52:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from ppp16.blvl.igs.net (ppp16.blvl.igs.net [205.206.58.26]) by host.blvl.igs.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id PAA06884 for ; Mon, 11 Mar 1996 15:45:05 -0500 Message-Id: <199603112045.PAA06884@host.blvl.igs.net> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Kevin" To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Mon, 11 Mar 1996 15:50:49 -0500 Subject: obtaining a copy of FreeBSD Reply-to: kwebb@blvl.igs.net Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.10) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there, I am interested in obtaining a copy of FreeBSD, but I have had trouble finding the exact ftp directory.

In Win95, it's blistering fast. In BSD, it's dog slow. Disable TCP extensions. It is well known thet the PPP compression relies on the lack of a values range delta to determine compressability. With RFC 1323 enabled, the BSD code causes part of the header area which is compared to be modified (specifically, a generation number, if my memory is correct).

There was never more than a partial port (which used the Alpha NetBSD code and added support for the AXP/33, etc., PCI bus machines), and some portions of the console and VM code were ported when the loaner machines had to be returned. I have a tape (somewhere -- we moved offices), which I didn't keep good track of because I had my 2G disk with the Alpha image on it. I reformatted the disk Saturday because I needed more room on the PPC port -- sorry: you should have spoken up sooner. If you are interested in actually *doing* the port, I could spend the large amount of time it would take me to find the extent (I think it was the 3rd or 4th one) on my large collection of tapes. 8-(. You should get tapes from CGD of the NetBSD project, and Jeffry Hsu, along with my stuff, if you plan to seriously pursue this as a port (unless you want to hack it out yourself).

Thanks If I understand you right you want to want to use your linux system to mount the CD and install via ftp from that CD to the other machine? Do you have an anonymous ftp account on the linux machine? If that's the case you can mount the CD into ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE and the install script will find the distribution there. If you want to install via ftp as an arbitrary user there is an option to specify that username/password in the configuartion/install menu once you have booted the install disk. > > Tim Stoddard > --Chris Christoph P.

Specifically, a fault on a copyin of a user page that isn't present (unlikely) or a fault on a copyout to a user page that isn't present (very likely, especially on a loaded system) when using a swapfile on a file of the file system from which the uiomove() in vfs_subr.c is being called. John has recently done a lot of work in this area; even though I disagree with some of the VM architectural choices because of their ramifications for file system (specifically VFS-to-VOP layer) complexity, John does damn good work. I think that -current as of a couple of days ago fixed this problem 100%. Now if only I could convince him to change cache indexing so that I can murder the vclean() and make the VOP_LOCK() code advisory and thus shared between all file systems... 8-).

Presuming you have two SCSI disks, boot the installation floppy and at the Boot: prompt type sd(1,a)/kernel. Installing the boot manager is a much better idea, IMHO.

Hello to all - I succeeded in getting netatalk to run on FreeBSD, but it took quite a bit of patching. It did not really test the performance, but it did not seem to run very fast. I run CAP on an old Sparc 1 with old ESDI drives, and my FreeBSD/Netatalk/100 Mhz 486/16MB RAM/Fast SCSI does not seem to run much faster. I was actually impressed with Linux running CAP, but a bit disappointed with the performance of netatalk after I had been hearing about how wonderful the design of netatalk as compared to CAP. Overall, I really like FreeBSD, but I wish the was more support for things like the ep device driver (multicast support?) and Netatalk. I will be bringing up another FreeBSD (133Mhz Pentium) over the next month, and you bet that I will again try to install Netatalk and do some more direct comparison between Netatalk and CAP. - Leo -------------------------------------- Date: 03/10/96 2:24 AM To: Leo Cazares From: John-Mark Gurney On Sat, 9 Mar 1996, JULIAN Elischer wrote: > Does anyone know if netatalk can be made to run with FreeBSD yet? i've heard it runs... but not sure how well.. as I don't run it... > is anyone working on it? > how does it compare with CAP? > > any comments at all on either?

When the lines in types.h referring to lseek are commented out, the program compiles, as it does if "int" in these lines is changed to "long" (the binaries created in these two cases are identical). Perhaps there's something else that needs to be done to the makefile or the platform.h file before this will compile correctly? Any help would certainly be appreciated!

This is a 1 GB IDE drive. Apparently i was successful with installing it as i am able to set up accounts, log in create files and save them, etc. But during installation i noticed that the disk geometry freebsd is using is different from that of my disk.I would like to know how i can set up freebsd to recognize the same disk geometry as my pc's disk. Also i would like to set up ppp/kermit dialup access. What should i do for this? Is there any doc that tells how to set this up? For kermit i followed the config doc and when i try to dial i get a modem initialization failure. I have problems installating the sources as i get an "unexpected eof " message with whichever part of the sources i try to install. I am sorry if some of these questions have already been answered,. I have already searched the freebsd newsgroup archives before posting my question here. Any help will be appreciated.

The current version of the handbook lists about ten modls; if you're going to be installing 2.1R via a network you'll want something based on the DEC DC2104x chipset; the SMC Etherpower PCI cards are a good buy; Accton have cards based on this chipset as do a number of other vendors.

At the moment, I'm basically stuck. I'd like to do a cyclic dump (level 0 every month, level 1 every week, and the hanoi pattern during the week), but dump seems to only like to dump one file system at a time. I can't be around to change tapes for each of my file systems, so this really won't work. The other option seems to use amanda. That of course has the nice restore features, and will allow multiple filesystems to go onto a tape, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to cycle as I described above without using an obscene number of tapes.

There is a performance penalty for doing this tho. If performance is critical on your server, creating or enlarging a ``proper'' raw swap parition would be preferable. If you want to enlarge it, it is probably possible to just alter the size of the swap parition and correspondingly shrink the size of the parition following it on the drive ... the following partition will need to be re-newfs'd though.

Just a couple of more questions. 1.) The two calls - TIOCSTI and TIOCCONS. I can get TIOCSTI to work when I'm root. Is it possible to make it work for a non-root user who has the port open? With TIOCCONS, I've yet been able to make it work, even as root. What conditions must be met for a program to be able to redirect console output? 2.) When opening a tty device for outbound communications (ie - local host is initiating the communication), I call open with O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK. For inbound, I open it with just O_RDWR. I then call a TIOCEXCL ioctl to "lock" the port so that no one else can open it. I then call TIOCNXCL before the close() to free it. Is this the correct method, or is there a "more correct" method for locking the device.

The code for the bootrom for selected cards (ed0 driver, basically) is alredy available on FreeBSD. Probably it would be nice if the if_xxx drivers were a bit easier to integrate with the "netboot" code. > What net boot servers can be got for FreeBSD ?

The only concern might be with the absence of keyboard and video board. Perhaps it is just a matter of disabling probes to these devices.

West" Subject: route problems Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Something mysterious (to me) on our FreeBSD 2.0.5 ISP server regarding routes... When a user dials into our system via iijppp, the ppplogin script creates a route for them. When they hang up, the route goes away. This makes sense. However, on occasion when the user is NOT dialed in, the route suddenly reappears in the route table. If I delete it, it comes back in a minute or two. Then when the user dials in, no packets route to them. The only way I have found to free this up is to quickly delete the route when they connect but before they log in. Then when they hang up the route disappears for good (as it should). I'm not sure where to look for this one. There is another unix machine connected to this system via ethernet. Is it possible that it learned the route and is somehow propagating it back to the gateway? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

It's "just" a design problem. If one tries to avoid blocking operations then it would be a shame to be forced to used them. [with current disks, a read issued right after an lseek might get a delay in the 10..100ms range; something that you want to avoid if you have something else to do. Forking a process to absorb the delay might help but is expensive] Someone suggested doing async IO and handling SIGIO (I suppose this refers to doing i=O_NONBLOCK; fcntl(handle, F_SETFL, &i) But I have a doubt: if, afterwards, you do lseek(handle, ...) result=read(handle, buf, size); The lseek might be non blocking -- no problem with that.

Well, I don't think a routing problem would effect the speed; if there were a route problem, the packets just wouldn't get through in one direction or the other or both. For a PPP link, it's not something like "they get through, only slowly" like you would get with an ethernet card with a bogus IRQ setting (only for some cards). > And how do I disable the tcp extensions ? See above. > What advantage/disadvantage are there to them ? The advantage is they enable transactioning. You'd need to read the new Steven's book for a full explanation, but basically, it cuts packet overhead in about half. The problem with PPP is that a seperate internal count structure should be used so that PPP compression can be used. Any changes to the header (including the count structure that is *always* updated by T/TCP), and the compression isn't done on that particular packet. There was a discussion of this on the -hackers list a while back, asking about relative compression statistics when compared to Linux. The Linux numbers were several orders of magnitude better (ie: compression was used more frequently) than BSD because of the compression defeat cause by the header "changes" by T/TCP.

No. It seems entirely related to a reduction in the number of actual clusters for a given cluster size going unnoticed by the FS. Which is to say, it writes out more clusters than it has when updating the on disk image.

The most annoying thing is that there is no error notification. The problem comes about if you are installing over NFS, and you neglect to create the XF86312 directory in your install image. (I neglected to do it because the 2.0.5 install worked differently as I remember). If you choose a distribution which includes XFree (I chose x-user first, then later just custom->Xfree), the installation does the requests for the pieces via NFS (which I saw on the ALT-F2 screen), but when the requests fail, no indication is printed anywhere, such as on the main install screen. Now, I know that error indications do work, because I had the compat1x and compat20 directories missing also, and they were flagged by such error messages for me. I did a search on this mailing list on the web server, and as far as I can tell, this problem has not been reported yet.

All of the ones that I am aware of, like ttcp (the test program) tend to neglect latency. The NFS tests, like NFSBench, have the same drawbacks. To get latency measures, you need to install a request/response server of some kind (like Samba) and run something like "LANPerf" or Ziff-Davis' "WinBench" series against it over the wire. What is ultimately useful depends on what you are testing for (as opposed to what you think you are testing for).

I think he wants the equivalent of "aioread/aiowrite/aiowait/aiocancel"; this would let him interleave operations without waiting for the previous operation to be satisfied. Many database engines operate this way, and it was the primary implementation mechanism for the SunOS 4.x LWP facility. To implement this requires a minimal level of kernel reeentrancy, since a single process might post multiple requests. The read and write should have off_t arguments for where they are to take place instead of relying on the current position and/or seek pointer. I have a hard time believing (cv: previous posting in this thread) that "seek" takes any time at all -- a seek operation simply sets the offest into the struct file [the association of the offset with the vp at this level is probably incorrect; it's what causes the system open file table to consume multiple slots for multiple open instance to the same file: a mistake in design, in my book]. The "best" implementation would be as an alternate call gate to allow *all* system calls to be issues asynchronously (with a flag for iowait conditions set to 0 for calls that always operate on in core objects, like getuid/getpid/getgid/etc.). The implementation of "aio" calls is a second-best implemenation, but should be sufficient for Harvest (or even a single-process implementation of "team" or "ddd").

How do I do it? Well, that depends on what "SoundBlaster compatible" means. If it's a newer SB, the CD is (most likely) ATAPI/IDE and you need to follow the ATAPI install instructions.

I think you missed it by one. You need to change to directory /usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERNEL and run make depend and make in there.

Transactioning is an optimization for things like WWW, finger, and FTP data connections. It could help PPP for these things, but PPP compression can't interoperate without seperating out the compression flag from the timer.

It will make BSD do the same things Linux does with regard to the decision on a packet-by-packet basis whether or not to do the compression. In theory, the BSD system should outperform the Linux because of other factors in the networking code. But I'm not about to write you a guarantee on that. 8-).

However, if I specify both IP addresses to be 0.0.0.0, the iijppp does not dial out. Any reason ? Thank you for your help. Alfred.

The ATAPI CDROM driver in 2.1.0-RELEASE is alpha. If you Mitsumi is running off the IDE controller it would be using the ATAPI driver. If it has it's own controller board, it *is* supported with a stable driver. There is a atapi.flp in the floppies directory which contains a kernel with the alpha atapi driver.

If you're interested in portability then the POSIX spec says that O_NONBLOCK behavior on a regular file is unspecified.

In the dists directories, it depends on what you want. Generally, the bin directory is essential.

Is there anyway to emulate this? Well, I don't know if the word 'emulate' is the correct description of the feature, but I go into some detail about this in my forthcoming book "Running FreeBSD" (to be available from Walnut Creek CDROM Real Soon Now). If you're using bash, try putting this in your .bashrc file: PS1="=== \u@\h (`tty`) \w \# -> " PS2="\u@\h \w \! ++ " This will create a prompt of the form === grog@freefall (/dev/ttype) /a/grog 4 -> The === is just to make it easier to find the prompts on a high resolution X display. If you're not using bash, why not try it? But other shells have similar capabilities.

Is there anyway to emulate this? You don't mention what shell you're using .. sh, csh, ksh, or maybe bash. If you're using csh (like me) then you need to add two lines to your .cshrc file. The first sets your initial login prompt: set prompt="`hostname -s`:`pwd`:\! >" And the second modifies the 'cd' command to change your prompt when you change directories: alias cd 'cd \!*;set prompt="`hostname -s`:`pwd`:\! >"' This gives you a prompt like: n3lxx:/usr/chuckr:52 > (my machine is named n3lxx). I need my machine name in there because I have two machines, and I'm always doing remote rlogins. This serves to remind me what machine I'm working on.

Well, there are plenty of people out here more than willing to help, but we need to know what problems you have experienced. In particular, the contents of the error messages are almost always of interest. Could you please tell us what they are? > I couldn't install NFS server packages and PCNFS packages. It's not quite clear from this statement whether you realize that PC-NFS is not on the disk. It's a product of Sun (mumble), and it costs real money. FreeBSD will, of course, interface with PC-NFS. If you're having trouble accessing the FreeBSD machine from the PC-NFS machine(s), you should check whether you're starting mountd with the -n option (look at the comments in /etc/sysconfig and /etc/rc for more details).

You get the SIGIO when there is data pending, not when the read has completed (man fcntl, look for O_ASYNC). All it is is a "data pending" notification -- it is a hack around non-I/O based messaging mechanisms so that they may be used (and then you hit select on a SIGIO) to let you multiplex, for instance, System V message queues. Unfortunately, it's not always possible to distinguish signal events from their causes: that is, if I have multiple completions in the time it takes me to handle a signal, I'm screwed, even if SIGIO passed, for instance, the address of the buffer that completed to the handler. Signals are persistent conditions. Signals are *not* events. There is no "wait" equivalent call family for SGIO, like there is for SIGCLD. It would be best if you dealt with the kernel reentrancy issues and implemented aioread/aiowrite/aiowait/aiocancel. This was a lot easier under 1.1.5.1 (where I fully implemented a SunOS LWP clone library at one time) because the lock recursion on read/write reeentrancy wasn't overly complex, like it is in -current, with the unified VM and the vnode/inode dissociation code (which I still think is broken). To handle this, you would need to: 1) Move VM to using device/extent instead of vnode/extent for the buffer cache. This would allow o Reuse of a vnode without discarding the buffer cache entry or needing an ihash entry as a second chance cache. o Allow you to get around the IN_RECURSE and lock complexity in the VOP_LOCK/VOP_UNLOCK code, which currently affects both the vnode and the underlying FS. This would limit device size from 8TB down to 1TB. File size limitations would not change. 2) With the VM change in place, you would need to change the VOP_LOCK code. Specifically, you would need to define counting semaphores for routines, probably called vn_lock and vn_unlock. These routines would acquire the vnode lock (allowing recursion for the same PID in all cases) and then call the underlying FS's VOP_LOCK/VOP_UNLOCK respectively. If the VOP_LOCK call failed, the vn_lock would be released and failed. This allows for an FS specific "veto", and is there solely to support FS layering for union, translucent, loopback, and overlay FS's (an overlay FS would be, for example, a umsdos-on-dos, vfat-on-dos, or quota-on-any type FS). The lock code changes would allow a process to have multiple outstanding read/write requests, as long as global structure modifications were semaphored. This is the first step in kernel reeentrancy, allowing kernel multithreading, or kernel preemption (necessary for POSIX RT processing); it is also the first step (with conversion of the semaphore to a mutex or, better, a hierarchical lock with a mutex "top") toward supporting multiple processor reentrancy for the VFS kernel subsystem. 3) With the lock code changed, a single multiplexed system call should be designated as "aio". Yes, it's possible to do 4 call slots, but why? This system call would use stub wrappers to pass down alternate argument list selectors, and would provide an aioread/aiowrite/ aiowait/aiocancel mechanism. An aioread or aiowrite need to be handled in the ordinary read or write path, and when a blocking operation is issued, need to pass a completion routine and an argument address. The completion routine is the same for all processes; the argument address is the address of a context structure, which points to the proc structure for the process that issues the request, as well as context information for the actual copy out (buffer length, buffer address for copyout, etc.). When an I/O completes, it needs to be unlinked from the "pending" list and linked to the "completed" list. These are two new pointers hung off the proc structure. The aiowait/aiocancel operation operate on the context identifiers on the lists, with obvious results. A more generic mechanism would be to convert the aio multiplex call into a call gate instead. This would allow the user to issue *any* system call as an async operation. A flag would be added to the sysent structure to flag calls that were allowed to return to user space pending completion; by default, the flag would be 0, but set to 1 for read and write for the first rev of the code. Any operation that could require paging to be satisfied should, in fact, be capable of being issued asynchronously. A "middle ground" implementation would make the multiplex system call something like "aiosyscall" -- that is, the same as "syscall", the multiplex entry point for call by syscall.h manifest constant of all existing system calls. This would not be a horrific amount of work, but it would require dragging several of the kernel people into the process (well, not really, but you'd need their approval to commit the changes).

It believes the card is in self-test mode, which is generally set by marginally decreasing inductance across a junction: ,. -----(||)--- `' ^gap By scribbling across the gap with a pencil. You can either: 1) Turn *off* "PlugNPlay" 2) Update your driver to one that understands "PlugNPlay" cards (basically, update your OS to -current if the PNP code has been integrated).

I'm tending towards FreeBSD at this time but have a few questions I'm hoping you might be able to answer. 1) First off, why would you suggest FreeBSD over Linux, or vice-versa? Does one have strengths over the other in any particular thing? 2) How complete is FreeBSD's ability to emulate Linux (which would let me have the best of both worlds possibly)? 3) In the news groups someone talked about preferring FreeBSD over Linux because the former is an actual OS while the latter is just a kernel... could you explain this difference to me?

I've been looking around, trying to find out what the deal is with this "configuration floppy". What it's good for, how it's made, how it's used. No luck. I couldn't find anything in the FAQ, the handbook, or Lehey's new book. Anybody out there have any info on this? Jordan? Terry? Nate? Anyone?

I also recompiled a custom kernel for the devices in my system. It mostly works, but I have two major problems: No networking, and no (usable) mouse. My network card is a 3Com 3C579, which is listed in the hardware compatibilty list for FreeBSD. However, I was unable to find an entry for the 3C579 in the LINT configuration file. So, hoping that the 3C509 driver was also the one for the 3C579, I put that in my kernel configuration file, except that since it is an EISA card, I did not specify the port address. Upon booting, I get the following messages: 1 3C5x9 board(s) on EISA found at 0x2000 ep0: 3c5x9 at 0x0 in test mode. Erase pencil mark! ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. epprobe: ignoring model ffff ep0 not found So, it finds the card, sort of, but then doesn't "like" it. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (and/or what that 'Erase pencil mark!' message means? ) My other big problem occurs when I try to run X. No, not a problem with the display, but a problem with my mouse! I have a built-in (PS/2 style) mouse port on my motherboard, so I compiled the "psm" device into my kernel. (and do not have the mse device) I see the following message on bootup: psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard So, it seems to be found by the kernel okay. The problem is, when I try to *use* the mouse after starting X, the behavior of the mouse is very erratic, to put it mildly. Almost any motion of the mouse, in any direction, puts the cursor to the top of the screen, and tends to put it to the extreme left. If, by random chance, I can get it to any other part of the screen, any tiny motion *WHATSOEVER* of the mouse zooms it back up to the top of the screen. Obviously, there's a communication problem with the mouse. If I had to guess, I would guess that it is acting like a serial bit-rate mismatch between what the mouse is sending and the hardware on the motherboard (presuming that a PS/2 mouse still sends serial characters). But I didn't find any documentation about how, if it's possible, to set the communication bit-rate for the mouse. So, does anyone have a clue about what may be the problem with my PS/2 mouse?

I was able to free the modem by sending a reinitialization string, i.e. cat - > /dev/cuaa0 ATZ eof This did the trick in freeing my modem. What I would like to know is how I can configure hylafax to do this cleanly whenever I send a faxquit command to kill the faxserver. I have a fax class 1 / hayes data / rockwell voice modem. Hopefully somebody has solved this problem. I have no doubt that the problem is actually my fault in an improper hylafax configuration on my modem. But I would appreciate the help. Thank you, J.

I have it configured on /dev/ttyd0. My modem is on COM1 (sio0). However, even after I have run faxquit to terminate faxq, I cannot use kermit configured on /dev/cuaa0 to call out unless I reboot. For those familiar with hylafax, can you help me solve this problem? When I used faxaddmodem to add the modem at ttyd0, I was warned that my system does not have the program fuser on it. Is this the problem? If it is, are you aware of any ports of fuser to FreeBSD that I can get my hands on? Thanks, J.

You should have add 0 255.255.255.0 HISADDR And in your destination address you must have something, ie you could have: set ifaddr 0 196.123.5.5/24 or whatever, with only the first 24 bits significant. You can only have ifaddr 0 0 for manual dial. In order to dial on demand there has to be some kind of destination address in order to specify a route to the ppp interface. It's quite logical, really. The ppp program only will dial out if packets get to it and they won't get to it if there is no route. I don't know about the inner workings of iijppp, but I know that by specifying that only the first 24 bits of the destination address are significant it is a sort of compromise, but it works. What you say to it is: the destination address can be from 196.123.5.1 thru to 196.123.5.255 This is good enough for setting up the route and when iijppp actually connects it slots the actual address in there and off you go. How to find out what the first xxx.xxx.xxx should be of the IP address should be? Invoke ppp manually with a ifaddr 0 0, ands then type: show ipcp which will show you your IP address and the destination IP address, then use these addresses in your auto dial configuration with a /24 on the end. This means that so long as you are always on the same subnet you will be OK. Soneone else: Has anyone ever tried a /16 in the ifaddr line? Maybe some else can explain this better, and perhaps more technically? > 2. ppp.linkup > > 0: > 0 255.255.255.255 HISADDR Here I have: MYADDR: delete all add 0 255.255.255.0 But I do not think it is necessary for -ddial, as the line in ppp.conf add 0 255.255.255.0 HISADDR Has already set up a default address. > But I start the ppp -auto uunet, I got the following message > > User Process PPP.

Well, the shell your ISP uses *should* be the one you ask him to use. As I said before, I prefer bash, but what you have there is obviously zsh. > I tried editing this file with: set prompt="`hostname -s`:`pwd`:\! >" > > as well as > > alias cd 'cd \!*;set prompt="`hostname -s`:`pwd`:\! >"'. > > But this didn't work. No, I don't suppose it would. Both of these commands belong to the csh family of shells (based on the C shell, csh, including also tcsh and possibly others). zsh, bash, ksh and sh belong to the Bourne shell family and have other syntax. I don't think many FreeBSD people use zsh. Your best bet is the man page. I've browsed in it (do 'man zshparam' for this particular subject), and got: PROMPT The primary prompt string, printed before a command is read; the default is "%m%# ". If the escape sequence takes an optional integer, it should appear between the '%' and the next character of the sequence. The following escape sequences are recognized: %% A `%'. %) A `)'. %d %/ Present working directory ($PWD). %~ $PWD. If it has a named directory as its prefix, that part is replaced by a ~ followed by the name of the directory. If it starts with $HOME, that part is replaced by a ~. %c %. %C Trailing component of $PWD. An integer may follow the '%' to get more than one component. Unless %C is used, tilde expansion is performed first. %h %! Current history event number %M The full machine hostname. %m The hostname up to the first '.'. An integer may follow the '%' to specify how many components of the hostname are desired. %S (%s) Start (stop) standout mode. %U (%u) Start (stop) underline mode. %B (%b) Start (stop) boldface mode. %t %@ Current time of day, in 12-hour, am/pm format. %T Current time of day, in 24-hour format. %* Current time of day in 24-hour format, with seconds. %n $USERNAME. %w The date in day-dd format. %W The date in mm/dd/yy format. %D The date in yy-mm-dd format. %D{string} string is formatted using the strftime function. See strftime(3) for more details, if your system has it. %l The line (tty) the user is logged in on. %? The return code of the last command executed just before the prompt. %_ The status of the parser, i.e. the shell constructs (like `if' and `for') that have been started on the command line. If given an integer number that many strings will be printed. %E Clears to end of line. %# A '#' if the shell is running as root, a '%' if not. Equivalent to %(#.#.%%). %v The value of the first element of the $psvar array parameter. Following the '%' with an integer gives that element of the array. %{...%} Include a string as a literal escape sequence. The string within the braces should not change the cursor position. %(x.true-text.false-text) Specifies a ternary expression. The character following the x is arbitrary; the same character is used to separate the text for the "true" result from that for the "false" result. This separator may not appear in the true-text, except as part of a % sequence. A `)' may appear in the false-text as `%)'. True-text and false-text may both contain arbitrarily- nested escape sequences, including further ternary expressions. The left parenthesis may be preceded or followed by a positive integer n, which defaults to zero. The test character x may be any of the following: c . ~ True if the current path, with prefix replacement, has at least n elements. / C True if the current absolute path has at least n elements. t True if the time in minutes is equal to n. T True if the time in hours is equal to n. d True if the day of the month is equal to n. D True if the month is equal to n (January = 0). w True if the day of the week is equal to n (Sunday = 0). ? True if the exit status of the last command was n. # True if the effective uid of the current process is n. g True if the effective gid of the current process is n. L True if the SHLVL parameter is at least n. S True if the SECONDS parameter is at least n. v True if the array psvar has at least n elements. _ True if at least n shell constructs were started. %string> %[xstring] Specifies truncation behaviour. The third form is equivalent to `%xstringx', i.e. x may be `<' or `>'. The numeric argument, which in the third form may appear immediately after the `[', specifies the maximum permitted length of the various strings that can be displayed in the prompt. If this integer is zero, or missing, truncation is disabled. Truncation is initially disabled. The forms with `<' truncate at the left of the string, and the forms with `>' truncate at the right of the string. For example, if the current directory is `/home/pike', the prompt `%8<..<%/' will expand to `..e/pike'. The string will be displayed in place of the truncated portion of any string. In this string, the terminating character (`<', `>' or `]'), or in fact any character, may be quoted by a preceding `\'. % sequences are not treated specially. If the string is longer than the specified truncation length, it will appear in full, completely replacing the truncated string. This is quite close to the bash example I gave yesterday. In bash, I have PS1="=== \u@\h (`tty`) \w \# -> " In zsh, this becomes PS1="=== %n@%m (`tty`) %~ %! -> " What, you don't see a PS1 in the man page? Neither do I, but zsh accepts it anyway :-) > Anyway, I really appreciate everyone's time. > > Thanks -- Yvonne.

Still haven't had a successful boot yet. My current setup has 8M ram and I've turned off everything that looks like cache, etc... I'm really looking forward to ripping all the jumpers off the motherboard and putting them back in all sorts of interesting configurations. That should make my weekend (or maybe I just get a life). My question is ... Is there any versions of boot.flp that are more system tolerant? Does anyone have a customise boot that is less system sensitive? Should I try the latest snapshots? Would it drive me crazy? Maybe my P.C would work better as a doorstop than a unix box.

We're running Netscape Commerce Server on mm.iit.uni-miskolc.hu. It's a Pentium/60 with 32M RAM and 128M swap but the webserver seems to need at least a power plant. Apache 1.0.3 seems not to show so large memory consumption and I haven't realized any speed differences yet. --rutz From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 14 05:43:44 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id FAA05672 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 05:43:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id FAA05667 for ; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 05:43:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from border.com (mail.border.com [199.71.190.98]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id FAA01315 for ; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 05:43:42 -0800 Received: by janus.border.com id <18435-1>; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 08:42:12 -0500 Date: Thu, 14 Mar 1996 08:41:56 -0500 From: Jerry Kendall To: Dave Walton Cc: questions@freebsd.com Subject: Re: Mass install of FreeBSD?

I think that _The_Unix_Programming_Environment_ by Kernighan (the K in awk) and Pike (another Unix guru/legend) is a great book for a programmer to get used the the Unix environment in general. (Prentice Hall, 1984) It doesn't spend a lot of time on any particular "official" programming language (although there are some C examples), but it does cover just about everything else someone programming in the Unix enviroment should know including shell programming. I also find it very readable (considering the topic.) Chapters include: UNIX for Beginners, the File System, Using the Shell, Filters (includes grep, sed, and awk), Shell Programming, Programming with Standard I/O, UNIX System Calls, Program Development, and Document Preparation (includes troff and man). *--------- * Bill Campbell email: campbb@d-e.pvt.k12.nj.us * Dwight-Englewood School phone: 201-569-9500 ext 3206 * 315 E.

(not sure of > the difference between the two and the implications of such) I believe (but im no authority) that the people doing the kernal in freebsd also do all the associated programs like ls, pwd, rmdir, etc etc etc - whereas with linux just the kernal itself is linux, and all of the other commands are written by a cast of thousands, or by the maker of a 'package' like slakware or redhat.

You dont get your shoes fixed while you are sleeping... er no thats in fairy tale land... Actually I dunno what difference it makes.. I run a linux, 3 sco's and 3 bsd's from 2.0 thru 2.1. The bsd's are the least problematic or crashy, and the most robust - the sco's are the most crashy but the more complete with things like lockd, but less complete as with their YP stuff (Im looking to retiring the sco's in favor of freebsd). The linux had the hardware drivers I needed back when i needed them this that one box's existance. I used linux way back for a news server and it crashed way to frequently under the load. i now use freebsd and almost never (knock on wood) suffer a crash even though the version I use hs known problems in the driver for the disk controller I use.

It is not the same thing as the online handbook, although I have stolen shamelessly from the latter. It is less broad in coverage than the handbook, though more books will follow to cover the other aspects. In particular, we decided to leave networking out of the book.

Its not a good argument to go either way. Actually, there's a good "referential integrity" argument to be made in terms of binary utilities matching kernels. Other than that, most vendors now subscribe to the FSS ("File System Standard") for utility location, /etc directory layout, etc.. They do not, however, have a common packaging system, so each Linux distribution varies widely in "feel" in some aspects. > > 4) Linux has ELF files (or something along those lines), yet from what > > I've read it seems FreeBSD does not. What is the significance of this? The -current code has ELF support, including ABI support for Linux ELF sufficient to run QUAKE. There are certain issues with LGPL (not GPL) and dynamic linking that are resolved by ELF shared libraries. Segment identification in ELF also permits some elegant technical soloutions to some problems in the kernel (no one has really applied it there, and they don't differ significantly from the same soloutions provided by COFF). Use of ELF segments in the initial ANSI C standard could have saved us prototypes (by including attribution of arguments and return values in with the symbol information and use of smart linker technology) if it had been done correctly. Smart linkers would have also had the side effects of getting rid of the "near" and "far" distinctions on Intel compilers, and automatic support for ELF objects as ANDF objects (the holy grail of binary distribution technology for UNIX and UNIX-clone systems). Oh well. Water under the Microsoft C compiler writer's seats on the X3J11 committee.

Please email to me. thanks! You are probably trying to start in too high a resolution. 1M is probably insufficient for use of video memory for the screen resolution that you have requested, given that X reserves a small amount of video RAM for a transfer staging area (pixmaps, fonts, etc.). Most likely, when you subtract out this staging area, there is too little memory left over for 16 bpp. Try 800x600, or 640x480. Make sure your virtual screen size isn't larger than your real screen size (default is 1024x768). More questions should probably be directed to the XFree86 people; this isn't really a FreeBSD-specific problem, so there isn't a FreeBSD-specific answer.

West" Subject: Help!! Severe PPP problems! Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We are a small start-up ISP. We started with a 28.8k connection to our upstream provider and about 7 users. We ran that way for a few months and all went very well. Then we switched our upstream connection to 64k ISDN and all h*** broke lose. Here's what happens: After a fresh boot everything runs great for from 30 minutes to 2 hours roughly. Then I notice via systat -pigs and ps -aux that the ppp daemon running the connection to our provider starts using 124% of the cpu. The process shows as 'ppp -auto providername'. It is using 500k virtual memory and 440k real memory. It is runnable (flags are Rs). When I try a ping to our provider I get either no response (the ping just hangs) or sometimes I get 'no buffers available'. A tcpdump -i tun0 -q shows no traffic in or out. A netstat -i shows no errors in or out. A netstat -s shows no checksum problems. Sometimes systat will say segmentation fault. The ppp link via ISDN to our provider is running at 155200k baud on a 16550 UART. We're running 2.0.5 on a 486dx4/100 with 16mb of RAM. When I first noticed a ping generated the message 'no buffer space available' I set NMBCLUSTERS to 1500 and then later set it to 2048. I have spent two days trying to trouble shoot the problem and customers are getting upset (there's a euphamism ): ). Any help would be very very very much appreciated. We may try to upgrade with a fresh install to 2.1 if that would help. Does anyone have any ideas? Please?

Congratulations on producing a wonderful product. I used to run Interactive 386ix, and I find FreeBSD a much better product. Plus the source code too! So much for the kudos, now on to the problem I am having. The kudos are genuine though! I have included an output from my boot up below for reference. I have also numbered the lines. It seems I have a problem booting up. Also about 50% of the time, the boot procedure fails, with the error message: NCR RESET: COMMAND FAILED . . . If I reset the machine, (hard reset) It sometimes works, and sometimes not, again about 50% of the time. I have a 100MHz Pentium, and am running a SCSI only system, no IDE drives aside from the floppy. My question is, do I have a problem with my SCSI adapter, or is this a software issue? I want to be as smart as I can before I go back to my vendor. Also I want to avoid all the hardware and software people standing in a circle and pointing to the right.:-) Specific areas that I do not understand are as follows: (refer to the below listing for line numbers) In line 27 from the boot procedure, what does it mean "not supported"? In line 28, what is the meaning of "not bound"? In line 30, how can I map the interrupt? In line 46, what is the meaning of this, it happens on every boot? As verified by the listing, I am running v2.0, from the Walnut Creek CDROM. I have obtained 2.0.5 from Walnut Creek, however the install procedure locks up. I am sure it is related to this issue, since if I remove the SCSI adapter, the install procedure does not lock up. Of course having no SCSI adapter means having no SCSI disks, and the install procedure is somewhat silly then. :-) Below is some output from the ncrcontrol command, it may be of some use to you. I know almost nothing about device drivers, so the output is mostly meaningless to me.

Subject: HELP with booting FreeBSD and BootEasy Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm having two problems that may or may not be related. 1) I can't get BootEasy (the Boot Manager that FreeBSD offers to install) to work. I've tried making the FreeBSD partition, the DOS partition (from both FreeBSD and DOS FDISK) and *both* partitions "bootable", and I get the same response: Hitting F1 to F5 changes the prompt from Fn (where n is the "bootable" partition) to F?, and the prompt scrolls. Nothing boots, no other keys have any effect. 2) When I boot from the boot floppy, and attempt to boot from sd0s2 by typing "hd(1,a)/kernel" at the boot floppy prompt, I get into a loop where I get the output "error: C:0 H:0 S:0" I've installed a 200M DOS partition on sd0s1, and have the rest of the disk partitioned for FreeBSD. When I run the install program on the boot floppy, I can re-mount the disks via the disklabel menu (the fsck seems to be happy with the data on the HD) but I can't get into the HD filesystem, because I can't boot the kernel. System particulars: Compaq Deskpro 386/25 1.08G Fujitsu 2694SQA connected via Adaptec 1522A controller partitioned 200M DOS on sd0s1, 809M FreeBSD on sd0s2 100Mb Conner IDE disk connected to Compaq Multifunction IDE controller partitioned 100% FreeBSD (used entire disk) (I've tried this with the IDE disk controller enabled, disabled, and physically removed from the system) Trident TVGA 1Mb Video Card, Sony CPD1302 Monitor What am I doing wrong here?

But Im having trouble with one of mine. Its a 2.1R, 486/25 running apache 1.0.0 I think... I also run sco emulation because I moved the web from cern on a sco to apache on a freebsd in 10 seconds or less (or at least that felt like the goal at the time) In any event, it crashes and reboots around once a day. I know Im not giving a lot of details. Its because Im never at the monitor when it does it. Has anyone encountered any known problems with sco emulation? or with this version of apache? I do know that just before it flips out, if Im telnetted in, it will sometimes hang.. and once just before hand when I issues a 'man somthing' command it gave all sort of troff: groff: errors...

I very stupidly let it; it changes the permissions read/write uucp only, where normally group dialer has r/w access on it. Seyon would always give me a "busy" error until I changed it back.

It is a terrific piece of work every bit of the way. My question: I have set up my pc for a multiple boot between an IDE drive with DOS on it and a SCSI with FreeBSD on it, using the Easy Boot software that came with FreeBSD. Unfortunately the usage note about how to choose a boot drive flashes on the screen so briefly that I have not been able to read it. I have not been able to print it either. I would appreciate it very much if you would send me a note explaining the usage for selecting the IDE drive. General how-does-it-work question: Also I am confused about how it can select the IDE drive at all. I have to tell the CMOS setup that there is no IDE hard disk in order for the machine to boot (other than from floppy) with both IDE and SCSI drives installed. So how does the BIOS know there is an IDE drive to boot from? Does the multiple boot program tell it about the IDE drive? A possible bug: In the online manual it says that in "sort +n filename" (where n is a number) the key sorted on will be n positions offset from the first letter in each line in filename. This does not seem to work for n greater than zero. Thank you for your assistance, and thank you for FreeBSD.

Most likely, you'll need to specify it directly. for example, to boot wd1, the second IDE disk, type: wd(1,a)/kernel SCSI would be sd(1,a)/kernel.

As with any language, your programming style can have a significant effect on the speed of your code, but unless you're engaging in lots of numeric operations, Tcl is pretty quick. > another relatively easy to learn alternative for programming in X without > a speed hit? Is it feasible to program for X using straight C? I take it > as a given that C is the way to go for text based programs. True? Not necessarily. One of the pleasant things about Unix is the staggering plethora of languages available; if C doesn't spin your propellor, you've only eliminated one of literally dozens of possibilities. Another important thing about Tcl/Tk in relation to the first question; from the start it was designed as a 'glue language' for large programs. You write your low-level code in C and provide hooks to the Tcl interpreter, and then write the top-level program flow control in Tcl. This gives you the best of both worlds; you can use C for its performance and complex data structure support, and Tcl for its easy hackability and simple GUI interface. I'd really recommend a trip to http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl/, this is the "official" tcl homepage, but it also contains links to a number of other resources, including a large collection of discussions comparing Tcl and a number of other languages. It makes for very interesting reading. > Frank Seltzer -- ]] 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 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

For the benefit of anyone who might have the same problem: If you have a PS/2 type mouse, and your mouse moves very erratically and moves mostly to the top of the screen, it's because you have the wrong protocol set in your XF86Config file. Change the protocol to PS/2, *even if your mouse is made by Microsoft*, and it should work fine. (I had taken the advice of the X config program too seriously when it suggested that most 2-button mice use the Microsoft protocol - and since it *is* made by Microsoft, it seemed like a reasonable choice at the time [of a first installation]...)

I was routinely upgrading to 2.2-SNAP, when I did something catastrophically stupid. This hasn't been my week. I was having trouble getting my machine to boot after I installed 2.2-SNAP. I use an "incompatible" partition table on my scsi boot disk, and I had written out a standard MBR during the SNAP install. It didn't want to boot. Let's not get into that. I'll worry about that later. Here's my mistake: I went into the sysinstall fdisk program and I re-wrote the partition table. I used the (W)rite option in fdisk. Ugh. I clobbered my existing disklabel when I did that. Up to that point my partition table and disklabel had been fine, it just wouldn't boot. Now I've blow away my original disk label. Of course, being the foolhardy guy that I am, I don't remember precisely the size of the partitions I had on the disk. It was something like: sd0s1a 32Mb / sd0s1b 32Mb swap sd0s1e 512Mb /home sd0s1f the rest /usr I don't care about / or /usr (or swap, naturally). All I need to do is grope around on the disk, find the beginning of /home, and create a disklabel entry for it. If I can get /home off that disk, I'll be fine and I can redo the rest from scratch. Nothing valuable lived anywhere but on /home. So, anyone have a way I can grope the disk and find the beginning of my /home partition? Once I find that, how do I construct the corresponding disklabel entry? Isn't there a "magic" number for superblocks? Any quick-n-dirty way to scan the raw blocks looking for that magic number? Would that do it? A six-pack of your favorite malted beverage to someone who can help me get /home back. :) Thanks in advance, Mud -- Paco Hope Technical Support Staff email: paco@cs.virginia.edu Department of Computer Science WWW: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~bah6f/ University of Virginia From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 14 20:10:01 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id UAA26911 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 20:10:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from arnie.systems.sa.gov.au (arnie.systems.sa.gov.au [143.216.242.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA26868 for ; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 20:09:15 -0800 (PST) Received: from state.systems.sa.gov.au by arnie.systems.sa.gov.au (PMDF V4.3-7 #13538) id <01I2DDCXIC1C000OFS@arnie.systems.sa.gov.au>; Fri, 15 Mar 1996 14:38:53 +1030 Received: from dogbert.systems.sa.gov.au (dogbert.systems.sa.gov.au) by state.systems.sa.gov.au (PMDF V5.0-4 #13538) id <01I2DDBTYISW001XNH@state.systems.sa.gov.au>; Fri, 15 Mar 1996 14:37:23 +1030 Received: from jolt.systems.sa.gov.au (jolt.systems.sa.gov.au [143.216.237.8]) by dogbert.systems.sa.gov.au (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id OAA01635; Fri, 15 Mar 1996 14:38:41 +1030 Date: Thu, 14 Mar 1996 14:35:56 +0930 From: Garth Kidd Subject: Re: FreeBSD vs Linux In-reply-to: Rogers Pessin <"FreeBSD vs Linux"@state.systems.sa.gov.au> (Mar 13, 13:29) To: Rogers Pessin Cc: questions@freebsd.org Message-id: <960315143910.ZM2871@jolt.systems.sa.gov.au> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Z-Mail 4.0 (4.0.0 Aug 21 1995) Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT References: <31473E39.1DF4@digital-storm.com> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > 1) First off, why would you suggest FreeBSD over Linux, or vice-versa? > Does one have strengths over the other in any particular thing? First, I beg forgiveness for any inadvertent inaccuracy; I expect Mike Smith to correct me on all counts and to use the opportunity to make more rude comments about my clothing :). The canonical answer to your question is: "Don't ask here. That's a flame-bait question. Try asking in comp.os.linux.advocacy. Don your asbestos underwear first." True, there's nothing quite like your question (or any other "which of these two OS is superior?") to cause a flame-war. A slightly less jaded answer: FreeBSD is an on-going development of released BSD code. It's a genuine BSD with a long lineage. There's a high degree of code stability, lots of people know how the OS is put together thanks to experience with the N other BSDs out there, porting is easy because it's a standard BSD, and so on. FreeBSD is nice and familiar. The FreeBSD team are well organised; subscribe to cvs-sys and watch their updates flow in. Various parts of the OS are allocated to various people, who must check in any changes. Anyone can submit a change, but it won't go in until it has been thoroughly checked by someone who really understands the code it affects. There is one FreeBSD distribution. Everything ported to FreeBSD will work with it. Installing new software is usually as easy as downloading a pre-done package and installing it, or by downloading a few K of a port, typing "make", and watching your system download the rest of the distribution from elsewhere, making necessary changes and compiling it. Linux was put together by a talented individual, from scratch. That code which is not original has been borrowed from a wide variety of sources. In many ways, it's a mongrel. The code doesn't seem as stable as that of BSD. Porting isn't as easy as anyone would like -- Linux isn't a BSD, and isn't SysV, supports API elements from both, and has wierd behaviour in places. Linux is new and quirky. I have no idea whether the Linux team are organised or not. Linus seems to have sole control over the kernel, but the rest of the OS seems to be left to whomever happens to be around. I may be wrong, here. There are many "distributions". Red Hat has a kind of package support which makes installing new software easy, but it only works with their packages, and their packages only work on their distribution. Packages for one distribution may not work for another distribution. In-built Linux detection in various bits of software are often tailored for one distribution (Slackware) and may not work with another. > 2) How complete is FreeBSD's ability to emulate Linux (which would let > me have the best of both worlds possibly)? Someone else will have to field this one, but I've seen mutterings amongst the people doing the ELF support that they've more or less nailed down the capability to run the latest Linux-compiled binaries. I imagine FreeBSD can already run old-style "a.out" Linux binaries, but I'm not sure. If you're getting source code for things, this is irrelevant. Just compile for FreeBSD. > 3) In the news groups someone talked about preferring FreeBSD over > Linux because the former is an actual OS while the latter is just > a kernel... could you explain this difference to me? "FreeBSD" encompasses the whole OS -- kernel, drivers, devices, filesystems, basic utilities, filesystem layout, and so on. If you're familiar with a FreeBSD system, you're unlikely to be get any nasty surprises using another one. Indeed, if you're familiar with any other stock BSD or even some variants (like SunOS), you're unlikely to get any nasty surprises. "Linux" encompasses the Linux kernel. Just the kernel. More or less everything else is up to the distribution, of which there are a few. If you're familiar with a Slackware distribution, a Red Hat distribution may well pack some surprises. Or vice versa. > 4) Linux has ELF files (or something along those lines), yet from what > I've read it seems FreeBSD does not. What is the significance of this? ELF is a new binary distribution format, soon to be handled in some way by FreeBSD. That aside, I'm not sure what it is, save that ELF binaries simply won't run on old Linux systems. In summary; if you want something new, exiting, and trendy, you can't go past Linux. There are plenty of nifty books with one of the distributions on a CD-ROM inside the cover and hints on how to do things on the pages inside. You'll find lots of other Linux fanatics to play with. Just ignore those people claiming that you're running the Amiga of Unix variants. After all, Linux is technically superior, right? If you want something old but up-to-date, familiar, and stable, you can't go past FreeBSD. There aren't lots of nifty beginner books, but there are lots of serious, heavy books that talk a lot about how BSD is put together, administrated and such. BSD is older than many of the people that install Linux. It's not trendy; it's an old, familiar and well respected part of the Unix landscape. You can leave the excitement to the Linux fans -- you prefer reliability and stability to the bleeding edge, right? I run a Linux system, a BSDI system (commercial BSD) and a FreeBSD system. I'm about to add an OSF/1 system to the menagerie. I do sysadmin stuff on SunOS, Solaris, NCR Unix (SysV) and AIX (mangled SysV). FreeBSD is -- for me -- the most comfortable and easy to maintain of the lot. Your mileage may differ. There are lots of happy Linux people out there, too. -- garth@dogbert.systems.sa.gov.au | Garth Kidd +61-8-207-7740 (voice) | Professional Services Division +61-8-207-7860 (fax) | Southern Systems | Adelaide, AUSTRALIA From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 14 20:55:50 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id UAA29339 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 20:55:50 -0800 (PST) Received: from bessel.nando.net (bessel.nando.net [152.52.2.130]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA29331 for ; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 20:55:17 -0800 (PST) Received: (from praj@localhost) by bessel.nando.net (8.7.1/8.7.1) id XAA28878 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 14 Mar 1996 23:54:40 -0500 (EST) From: praj Message-Id: <199603150454.XAA28878@bessel.nando.net> Subject: Win 95 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 14 Mar 1996 23:54:40 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have already installed freebsd on one partition of my harddisk.

FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE/16MB/500MB-IDE/HP PC Lan+ card HP9000/712 running HPUX9.0 offering a 1 GB disk read/write over NFS. The problem: when doing a sequence of NFS writes to the disk sometimes reads of other files from the same NFS mounted disk get corrupted data. The scenario is a follows: a) I'm writing a file say "file-a" to the NFS mounted disk b) while this is going on I read "file-b" from the same disk I occasionally see (a) NULLS and (b) data for "file-a" in "file-b". I've verified that the data that is actually written to remote disk for "file-b" is correct. Flushing the FS cache by reading/writing lots of data sometimes causes the correct data for "file-b" to be read off the NFS mounted disk. Small files are never corrupted. Stopping NFS writes to the remote disk causes the problem to go away. I did see a posting in the questions-archives about a similar-sounding corruption using NFS reads and writes (look for the subject "File Corruption Problem"). The rest of the system has been working fine till now; so I suspect its something to do with NFS. Is there anything I can do to work around this?

So far, so good - it's deeply enjoyable being able to understand Unix at such atomic levels. Currently am learning about "trap.c", and have started with hard/softclock() calls, following along in the 4.3 UNIX book. The books I own do not mention the concept of 'vnodes', and it is clear this is an important topic in the newer Kernels. Can anyone refer me to a book which does, or can explain them to me? From what I've gathered, it appears 'vnode' is an abstraction to an inode, mounted file system, socket, pipe, etc, which is currently 'active'. Secondly, the BSD kernel's C coding standard is a little different than what I'm used to - are there any documents detailing the standards used in the kernel, such as Indian hill, k&r, etc? Finally, are there other documents/books on the bsd kernel besides the book I've purchased. There's a pretty steep up-front learning curve and the more reference material I have, the better. Thank you for your assistance. R.

When I went through the directories - I couldn't figure out how I would download the files and later on transfer it to floppy disks. I was thinking the files would be organized like DISK1, DISK2, DISK3 and so on. From what I have read so far in the installation guide - it only mentions downloading the boot image and the rest of the files will be downloaded as needed during the installation. My internet access is via the office but I plan to setup FreeBSD on my PC at home. Pls advise. 2) I am using netscape 2.0 for downloading. Is there a 'batch method' of downloading so I don't have to specify every file to be downloaded. I have minimal experience setting up things in a unix environment - that is why I am installing one at home so I could spend more time with unix.

I'd be happy to send you my configuration files if you want them. The problem I have is trying to get the kernel ppp to recognize and disconnect when its no longer getting any traffic from upstream.

Yes. Install Win95 first, since Win95 likes to replace the master boot record (which will be the boot manager that lets you pick which OS to run, after you install BSD) so it can change the message "Booting MS-DOS" to "Booting Windows" (ie: a stupid cosmetic change). If you install BSD onto a second drive, *don't* install the boot manager from the BSD disk. Instead, use the OSBS.EXE from the CDROM to install from a "reboot to DOS prompt" in Win95. > 2) How much hard drive space do I need to run the system?

You can't "designate a port" like this. Typically, you specify one of the uucp programs for the shell for UUCP dialin accounts. There isn't accounting control to prevent people from logging in on particular port ranges... specifically, you're screwed if it's a terminal server or something like that, where the line-to-port assignment varies in the connection from the server to the host machine. Other than that, there's secrecy: don't give out the UUCP phone number. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

When you install Windows95, it will overwrite the boot selector to get a cosmetic change on the booting message for what it assumes is the DOS MBR. You will need to reinstall the boot selector. It can't hurt to get a copy of "pfdisk.exe" from the CDROM or from the FTP site, and list and save all the information in case it trashes the partition table as well. You will need osbs.exe from one of the same places to reinstall the boot selector. To reinstall, you must boot Windows95, and select "Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode". This will defeat the Win95 boot sector "virus protection" that will prevent you from reinstalling osbs otherwise.

You're probably going to have to control-alt-del it, boot to single user mode, mount /usr and /, and edit the password file with vipw to remove root's passwd, reboot, and change root's password. I also suggest looking into comp.security.unix and getting some tips from their FAQ. O'Reilly has a new edition of one of their security books coming out that may be of use.

I use both rawrite to write the boot image and from view menu to make the boot disk, however, when I reboot the machine, it just go ahead to C: drive. It act like the boot is blank or not exits. I try other disk, ie. dos boot disk and it works. Anyway, I can start the install with install.bet on the CDROM which come to my next question. 2) After install(no error message) I reboot the machine, and it hand up after BIOS. It look like it destoey the MBR or FAT. I tre use FDISK/MBR to replace the MBR but it still not working. I still can boot the maching using boot disk, how can solve this problems. BTW, I select 'don't touch MBR' option during setup.

Both work well (although I think Apache works better with lots of virtual web hosts). NCSA is what we're running, because changing over isn't wholly transparent (although it's almost that simple). This is with NCSA 1.5a and Apache 1.0.3, btw. (the most recent versions, AFAIK). Bryan K. Ogawa Questions or Problems with NetVoyage? help@netvoyage.net Check out the NetVoyage HelpWeb at..

There is none except the hand of the system admin occasionally running the MAKEDEV script or the rm command. The core team is working on something called `devfs' which (I'm lead to believe) enables device drivers to make their own entries in /dev dynamically. This is the SMART way to go and I'm surprised other Unixes haven't implemented similar technology. Brian> In particular simple examples like sio0 to cuaa0 ... Well, the name of /dev/cuaa0 doesn't matter, the device number (28) does matter. I/O operations on /dev/cuaa0 are mapped by the kernel through something called the device switch into function calls in the device driver (the sio driver in the case of 28). When you build a kernel, each device driver gets an entry in the switch with a preassigned number. After booting the kernel, you run MAKEDEV or mknod to build the software interface for those devices: /dev/. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 15 14:19:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA05859 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 15 Mar 1996 14:19:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA05853 for ; Fri, 15 Mar 1996 14:19:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from InfoWest.COM (infowest.com [204.17.177.10]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id OAA28389 for ; Fri, 15 Mar 1996 14:19:25 -0800 Received: from einstein (Einstein.infowest.com [204.17.177.95]) by InfoWest.COM (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id PAA11320 for ; Fri, 15 Mar 1996 15:24:50 -0701 Message-Id: <2.2.32.19960315221713.006bd254@infowest.com> X-Sender: agifford@infowest.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 15 Mar 1996 15:17:13 -0700 To: questions@freebsd.org From: "Aaron D.

My suggestion is to upgrade to -stable and run pppd in a shell loop if you are running a dedicated service. However, the ppp program in -stable should be better, and may solve your problems *IF* you want to stick with it.

Yes, I meant 2.5.4, though I probably erred in recommending this, as it is very much a beta release. (The maintainer suggests somewhere that those interested in actually _using_ the package should wait for 3.0.) I've been playing around with it, but I was mostly interested in getting bits of it to fail, rather than getting the whole of it working. (For comparison with the msdosfs design.) I see from archie that there is a 2.5.4a (11 Feb) out at a few sites, if anyone does want to work on a port. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 15 14:54:57 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA08964 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 15 Mar 1996 14:54:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA08956 for ; Fri, 15 Mar 1996 14:54:53 -0800 (PST) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id PAA14258; Fri, 15 Mar 1996 15:50:26 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199603152250.PAA14258@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: basic questions To: brian@filoli.com (Brian Queen) Date: Fri, 15 Mar 1996 15:50:26 -0700 (MST) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: from "Brian Queen" at Mar 15, 96 11:31:11 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > What is the link - or where is it specified - between the > devices probed at boot, and the devices in /dev?

The X server runs on one console per reference -- the first free vty, as a matter of fact. You will have to run multiple X servers to have multiple consoles with xdm presenting a login box.

On a machine with a 1217mb hard drive I did the following: -made the C drive 421mb where I'll run WIN95 -made the D drive 398 or so where I'll run FreeBSd -made the E drive the rest Is it possible to load FreeBSD on the D drive and then load WIN95 on C? Which should I load first. My first inclination is to load FreeBSD first on D, typing the View command from the D drive. The boot manager then gets installed, but I'm curious if, at that point, like OS/2, it will boot me into BSd and not allow me to install WIN95. Is this true? Any suggestions appreciated. Basically, I'm just wondering which OS to load first so I can avoid having to reformat and re-partition.

It's also got a 3Com 3C509 network card. I'm running into a very odd situation where the network is VERY slow to and from our FreeBSD machine. Telnets to the machine appear to be running at about 300 baud and ftp's run about the same speed. We've removed all conflicting device drivers from the kernel and when we boot with a -c, no conflicts show whatsoever. One thing that is odd is that an ifconfig for ep0 shows the following: ep0: flags=8e3 mtu 1500 inet 204.250.54.151 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 204.250.54.255 ether 00:a0:24:3e:03:e0 We don't understand the "SIMPLEX" value that is showing up nor do we know how to change it.

Also, backups (two of them) are kept in /var/backup, and they are diff'd against the master files every night, so concievably you could reverse diff from the mail message if it got to that point.

I'd get the 3c5x9cfg utility out, and double check. I think the default kernel is set for ep0 at 10, but your card may be configured for 15 or something like that. THe card will still function, but slowly. Check that. THen build a kernel that matches the card config, or configure the card to match the kernel, and go crazy. If that doesn't work, come back.

An optional "-p" (for public) switch may be specified as well. The script no longer has a configuration section, and I added a "usage" report with examples if the script believes that the arguments are not correct (too many, not enough, or invalid switch(es) specified). Just do a "./remaster.pl" to see the usage information, which should explain how to generate master.passwd files or passwd files.

I am trying to install thru > ethernet, using an ne2000 base2 card. Any tips? This is the tower system with the WD1007 EDSI drives, if you are running a standard piece of hardware. The WD1007 has sector sparing and geometry translation, both of which need to be turned off (Jumper W8 and W14). You will then need to low level format the drive using the format utility from ftp.wdc.com (Western Digital's FTP site). Once this is done, installation should work normally. The problem is the sector sparing, and that fact that FreeBSD assumes some form of translation on all large drive (and then assumes the geometry used in the translation). I have installed several of these boxes in the past without real problems after resetting the controller. (note: check the -hackers list archives regarding the WD1007 on www.freebsd.org; there is a much more detailed discussion of the WD1007 jumper setting, etc.).

Hmmm, what happens if you can't get back into the system until 2 days later and they somehow changed the root password?

I'm missing something in my NIS setup, and can't seem to figure out where/what it is :( Basically, on the client machine, I've started up ypbind -s. As root, I can type in, on that machine 'chsh ', and it will bring up the appropriate entry from the server machine to be modified. If I try to login to the client machine, though, it won't accept that password. I'm assuming that since it is doing "part" of it right, that there is something I'm missing to get login to accept the userid/passwds, but can't find it :( And, of course...man pages are a little limited on its information for this, and I don't have the NFS/NIS O'Reilly book yet :( Any recommendations?

I can't seem to resolve the ftp site.

I read the man page ( and BIND manual ) about named and found that there is a way to do that thru using the "xfrnets" directive in named.boot file. But unfortunately, there is no example to show how it works. I tried a few times but still could not get the DNS server behave the way I want. For example, when using nslookup and set the default server to the DNS server and issue a command like ls -t xxx.com, a list of all hosts managed by the server will be displayed. Basically the ls command is a zone transfer query from nslookup. My question is how to disable this function and still allow my provider to have their secondary DNS servers to perform a zone transfer. I tried to include the following lines in the named.boot but the named server still does not responded in the way I was expected. xfrnets xxx.com or xfrnets 999.999.999.0 or xfrnets 999.999.999 or xfrnets yyy.xxx.com Thanks.

None of these things happened before install on the other FreeBSD box we= have and never have had trouble making perl5 or any other ports. Also. When I installed FreeBSD and copied over the master.passwd, passwd and literally all of the /etc from the other FreeBSD box running the same version of FreeBSD (2.1-Release) The passwds for all my users were invalid. After inspecting the difference in passwd encryption lengths (after making a new passwd for root) between old root passwd and new one, I see that the new encryption length is a fair bit shorter than the older one ie.: david:$1$o9RFct4t$HvBx61GAcOgE49yG47zaf0: is an old passwd for david david:rozFbG6mcoYZA: and this one is a new one.

I couldn't find anything in the INSTALL.TXT or the HARDWARE.TXT about that error... Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

The reason he had to jumper off the sector sparing and translation is because: o The BSD translation assumptions are Adaptec assumptions and are *wrong* for the WD1007. So translation has to be off for them to work. o The sector sparing does not cause the drive geometry reported to the controller on "query physical geometry" via the WD controller API to subtract out the sector, so the driver *incorrectly* attempts to access one more cylinder than is legally addressable. If this goes into the FAQ, the *detailed* information on WD1007 jumper settings and their meanings should be pulled from the -hackers list archives (subject containes "WD1007" or "ESDI") and put there too. Someone should contact Western Digital about their format utility to ask if it is OK to mirror it on the FreeBSD FTP site and to put it on the CDROM. There should be a WD1007.DOC/WD1007.README (normal/RR long name) on the CDROM so that this isn't still a problem. Ultimately, the driver should be fixed to sense the WD1007 and handle the jumper settings correctly (for one thing, by not assuming what the translated geometry is without making the BIOS call to really find out).

West" Subject: Help!! Severe PPP problems! Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm sending this again because I don't think it went out... We are a small start-up ISP. We started with a 28.8k connection to our upstream provider and about 7 users. We ran that way for a few months and all went very well. Then we switched our upstream connection to 64k ISDN and all h*** broke lose. Here's what happens: After a fresh boot everything runs great for from 30 minutes to 2 hours roughly. Then I notice via systat -pigs and ps -aux that the ppp daemon running the connection to our provider starts using 124% of the cpu. The process shows as 'ppp -auto providername'. It is using 500k virtual memory and 440k real memory. It is runnable (flags are Rs). When I try a ping to our provider I get either no response (the ping just hangs) or sometimes I get 'no buffers available'. A tcpdump -i tun0 -q shows no traffic in or out. A netstat -i shows no errors in or out. A netstat -s shows no checksum problems. Sometimes systat will say segmentation fault. The ppp link via ISDN to our provider is running at 155200k baud on a 16550 UART. We're running 2.0.5 on a 486dx4/100 with 16mb of RAM. When I first noticed a ping generated the message 'no buffer space available' I set NMBCLUSTERS to 1500 and then later set it to 2048. I have spent two days trying to trouble shoot the problem and customers are getting upset (there's a euphamism ): ). Any help would be very very very much appreciated. We may try to upgrade with a fresh install to 2.1 if that would help. Does anyone have any ideas? Please?

Several machines are missing route/arp entries for machines that are clearly on the backbone. I'm running the lastest supped version of 2.1, routed. If I try to manually add the arp entry it tells me the host isn't on the local network. It's frustrating because if I add my own route it doesn't do any good, because my Internet router does know about the machine and so whenever any destined for that IP gets the the router the router rebroadcasts the route and the BSD learns a route that has no gateway!

I'm willing to put a fair amount of money into it (this is the first new computer I've bought in about 5 years), and I'm looking for some recommendations. I am planning on running X and probably 2.1-stable (although I would prefer to do a CD install instead of a net-install of FreeBSD). I'd appreciate any comments you would like to make on the component choices I'm proposing. Since I'm asking many questions, feel free to skip over as many as you want. You are welcome to direct a copy of comments to me as well as to the list; I'm subscribed to the list, but on another account (so I'll see them later rather than sooner). Here's the system I have so far: System: Motherboard/BIOS/RAM: Intel P-133 - Right now this seems to be the best price/performance balance for me. Triton Motherboard w/ 256K (512K?) Pipeline Burst Cache - Is 512K worth extra money (e.g. is there a significant performance increase)? - Are there any incompatibilities with 512K of cache? 32 Megs EDO RAM - the Triton chipset boards don't support parity, correct? Does that mean they support the EDO RAM features (e.g. the error correction features?) I know it was discussed before, but I wasn't entirely clear on the answer. - If the answer to the above is no, what other advantages (if any) would EDO RAM have? Video: Diamond Stealth 64 w/ 2 megs VRAM - The video chipset FAQ (see sources, below) lists this as an S3 964 chipset (or the 968 for the Video version of the board). I'm planning on starting out with XFree86. Is a Number 9 cheaper or faster? 17" Monitor (probably a Mag, but maybe a Shamrock or other cheap) - Anyone have any comments on these monitors? According to InfoWorld, some of the Mags are pretty good. (see below for InfoWorld reference.) Storage Adaptec 2940UW (PCI) - I've seen Jordan's hardware recommendations list, which says that unless you're doing news or NFS, Wide SCSI is not worth it. Is this still true? - The drivers for the 2940UWs are in -current (-stable?), right? Does that mean that I must install these versions to run, or can I install 2.1.0-RELEASE initially and upgrade to take full advantage of the board later? If the answer is that I must install a more recent version, is there a CD I can buy that would let me install? - Does anyone know what the differences are between the 2940W and 2940UW? 2.1 GB Fast Wide SCSI 4X SCSI CD-ROM - I didn't see a real advantage to a faster drive, since I'll probably be using it primarily to install software, not run multimedia titles (or so I think--I suspect most of the time I'll be in FreeBSD). References I found useful 1. The PC Hardware FAQs were helpful, especially the video ones. (all one line) 2. The November 20, 1995 issue of InfoWorld tested 17" monitors. Search for a complete report (search for "17 inch monitors"). 3. Jordan Hubbard's hardware recommendations are on the FreeBSD home pages. Part of the Hardware Guide.
