I think you're confusing the "Lites" 4.4BSD-lite based Mach single-server (which runs on top of Mach) with FreeBSD.

On to other things, this is a mix-n-match system; ide & scsi. The sound blaster 16 conflicts with my 1542cf card. The 1542 uses 330-333h, so does the sb16. All of the kernels I've built hung on booting, or the sb16 was never probed. None of the 'ALLOW_CONFLICT' kernel options did anything. Thats why I tried the your Pnp patch. Currently, I have the 1542 set to another address, however the kernel is still looking for aha0 at 0x330. I don't really want to change the settings for the 1542, I'd rather change the sb16. Pnpinfo offers a variety of configurations; 'good', 'acceptable', and 'suboptimal'. pnpinfo gave me two 'good' configurations; IRQ 5 & ports 0x220, 0x330 & 0x388, basically in line with the settings listed in the sb16 manual. The other 'good' choice is IRQ 10 & ports 0x168, 0x36e, no DMA listed. Can I configure pnp.c to the other 'good' choice; IRQ 10 & ports 0x168, 0x36e, even though the printed sb16 manual never lists these values as possible options? Or will the sb16 break if I do this? Again, Thank you for creating the ISA_PnP patch.

These were obtained from ftp://isri.unlv.edu/pub/chimera/contrib. Unfortunately mailto does not quite work right. The problem seems to be that the generated mail message is malformed - the addressee and other fields are prefixed by a '+' character. Consequently, sendmail fails to deliver the message.

How do I change the name of my copy of FreeBSD and its domain? I presume mean the system name, which is in driven by /etc/sysconfig. This drives the system commands which actually set it.

Help! No, leave it free and let FreeBSD find the empty space. I _think_ you need the DOS data broken into two parts, because the 600M will require the first 1024+ cylinders, and FreeBSd (like most systems) must boot from within that area, being the root partition of the FreeBSD disk slice must start around Megabyte 470. If the DOS is akready split into a primary and extended partition, move the extended partition to the end of the disk with Partition Magic; make each partition less than 256M, and you'll recover much of the lost space in smaller cluster sizes (PM will recluster for you if you ask it). If you have one big primary partition, you're using 16K clusters which eat disk space anyway ... create an extended partition in the last 255M of the 400M, copy a reasonable amount of data to it, then shrink the primary partition to 255M. See the Partition Magic docs for further comments on why to use smaller partitions and the affect on cluster sizes. In any case, let FreeBSD create the new partition, works fine.

I heard FIPS can make the DOS side of the partition unstable, but this is something I remember from this list so it could be wrong. I would recommend PM.

I remember reading many good opinions on them around this list. The DEC FastEthernet chipset (DC21140) is used in many of the fast ethernet cards, but we have actual experience only with the original DEC cards. > > Speaking of RADIUS, the search for an Ascend port continues.

Take a look at reviews (try the BYTE and PC Magazine sites). For 100 mbps cards, ISA can't get you very far, and even 10mbps will be better on PCI.

I usually get 950-1100 kb/sec ftps using this card on our local network. The only catch is that you need to find out how to set the card to 10bT mode, the 215R driver doesn't seem to want to do it by itself.

I think I'm clear on the procedure described in Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD". However, what seems to be missing is how to make the second disk bootable using the userland tools. If there is only going to be a single FreeBSD partion on the disk, can I use disklabel(8) to write the bootblocks? It seems like I need to do something to the MBR too and neither the disklabel or fdisk man pages say anything about that. I guess an alternative is to use /stand/sysinstall. My /stand is pretty old, dating from around 2.0.5. Is it safe to use for this purpose, or should I rebuild sysintall from the 2.1.5 sources? Is anything else needed besides the sysinstall binary?

If I remember right, for each newsgroup tin builds an in memory index of the articles that are available. Since the number of newsgroups is now hovering around 13,000 it doesn't take tin very long to eat all the swap space. This assumes you are subscribing to a very large number of newsgroups, have a small swap space, and/or have a "small" amount of memory. I bumped into this problem several months ago. I have 16 meg of ram and 100 meg of swap space (I plan on upgrading to 32 meg of ram very soon) and still I was running out of swap. I trimmed the number of newsgroups I was subscribing to. At the time I was subscribing to ALL the newsgroups so paring it down to a couple of hundred solved the problem. Use the swapinfo command [man pstat(8)] to see how much swap you have and how much is being used. The death of a process should release the swap space being used by that process.

Run sysinstall, select and partition stuff on your second disk, select your packages, then go ahead and start extracting the packages. I did this (just yesterday) and the install proceeded to extract onto my *running* installation on the first disk. I was not thrilled, to say the least. sysinstall is also apparently unable to do the stuff about selecting a disk slick and partitioning it. It allows you to select a slice, then allows you to specify how to partition it, but when you say Write to actually have it write the information to the disk, it crashes. This is too bad, because the sysinstall procedure for selecting and partitioning is *so* much nicer than disklabel. -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu Home page: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/people/dubois Software: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 27 12:45:45 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA11885 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Oct 1996 12:45:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from ucthpx.uct.ac.za (ucthpx.uct.ac.za [137.158.128.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA11874 for ; Sun, 27 Oct 1996 12:45:42 -0800 (PST) Received: by ucthpx.uct.ac.za via rmail with stdio id for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 27 Oct 1996 22:21:35 +0200 (SAST) (Smail-3.2 1996-Jul-4 #5 built 1996-Jul-22) Received: from leftside.its.uct.ac.za (localhost.its.uct.ac.za [127.0.0.1]) by leftside.its.uct.ac.za (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA08772 for ; Sun, 27 Oct 1996 22:17:06 +0200 (SAT) Date: Sun, 27 Oct 1996 22:17:06 +0200 (SAT) From: Peter van Heusden To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Phoneblaster Soundblaster 16 support 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've got a PnP Creative Labs Phoneblaster, which includes, amongst other things, a Soundblaster 16 on the board.

I've run into this, doing this exact same kind of thing. There was an eyeblink of a message on my box saying that the system was unable to newfs the slice that I had said to be swap space on the new disk. I checked the slicing after the write and before the barf. The slicing took. I had to go in and disklabel/newfs the hard way, using the line commands. It took a couple of iterations thru sysinstall for me to get the numbers that disklabel and newfs needed. Once I had the specs for the partitions inside the slices, it was a relative breeze. The disk has been humming along since. Be sure to read the newfs manpage, as there are some insane defaults for some key geometry values. -- Randall Raemon delta1@netcom.com From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 27 14:24:32 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA20225 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 27 Oct 1996 14:24:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from Kitten.mcs.com (Kitten.mcs.com [192.160.127.90]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA20218 for ; Sun, 27 Oct 1996 14:24:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailbox.mcs.com (Mailbox.mcs.com [192.160.127.87]) by Kitten.mcs.com (8.8.0/8.8.Beta.3) with SMTP id QAA08122 for ; Sun, 27 Oct 1996 16:24:27 -0600 (CST) Received: by mailbox.mcs.com (/\==/\ Smail3.1.28.1 #28.15) id ; Sun, 27 Oct 96 16:24 CST Received: (from brianmcg@localhost) by Jupiter.Mcs.Net (8.8.Beta.6/8.8.Beta.3) id QAA10573 for questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 27 Oct 1996 16:24:26 -0600 (CST) From: Brian Message-Id: <199610272224.QAA10573@Jupiter.Mcs.Net> Subject: 50 line console To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 27 Oct 1996 16:24:25 -0600 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was surprised not to find this in the FAQ: How does one make a console screen with 50 or more lines?

I've packed up the card & speakers (still have 20+ days left on the refund). Possibly, another manufacturers brand of sound card will get along with the 1542, I'm open to suggestions on other brands. But, I need my scsi tape back-up to work, and the CD is really for accessing photo cd's, so the sound support can wait. This weekend was not without loss; I did learn about kernel patching. Thanks again.

Message-Id: <199610280102.RAA01039@freefall.freebsd.org> To: FreeBSD-questions@freebsd.org Subject: How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions (new version) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. =================================================== Last update 17 October 1996. This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I'm having a lot of trouble installing FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE on my computer at home. ** Note: this message is bound to be long! This is because I'm trying to provide you with as much useful detail as possible. I'll try to keep idle chit-chat to a minimum, but I'm writing "off-the-cuff", so it may be a bit disjointed. My apologies... I handle tech-support for a small ISP here in Taiwan, and help maintain a couple of FreeBSD Pentiums, 3 Sun Ultras, and one Linux box at work; so I'm no stranger to Unix, but no expert either. Anyway, I need to write some custom programs for our system, so I thought I'd just install BSD215 at home to work on the code in my free time. My computer is a "pentium-type" IBM-6x86/133 with 64MB RAM and two Seagate HDDs (814MB and 2GB). I split the 814MB drive into a 340MB partition (wd0s1) for DOS/Win and 3 smaller partitions (80MB, 66MB, and 300+) for FreeBSD (root, swap and /usr). 1. No CD-ROM: Although Linux CDs are available here (in Taiwan) in all flavors and sizes, FreeBSD is simply not to be found, other than on a couple of mirror sites. No problem, I just took my Iomega ZIP drive to the office and downloaded bin, X, dict, and a few other dist's onto it and then copied all onto my DOS partition. I made one mistake in this process, for which I paid dearly in wasted time: I neglected to copy the "install.sh" file for the bin dist. I'm a bit embarrassed to say that it took several dozen trips through the install program to catch that one! However, in my own defense, I'll quote a few lines from the "install.txt" file which was in the 2.1.5-RELEASE directory of ftp.tw.freebsd.org: "After you've formatted the floppies for DOS or UFS, you'll need to copy the files onto them. The distribution files are split into chunks conveniently sized so that 5 of them will fit on a conventional 1.44MB floppy. Go through all your floppies, packing as many files as will fit on each one, until you've got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Each distribution should go into its own subdirectory on the floppy, e.g.: a:\bin\bin.aa, a:\bin\bin.ab, ..." Notice, it doesn't say anything in here about the "install.sh" file!! Now, I know that this is a lame excuse for not including the file in a DOS-HDD install directory, but the simple fact is that including it doesn't make any difference in the floppy install -- the above instructions are simply wrong! I followed the above instructions to the letter for floppy installation attempts, both with DOS disks (assiduously checking each formatted disk with Norton Disk Doctor) *and* with ufs-formatted disks, which I made with one of our existing BSD machines at the office. Several times. In every case, the installation crashes *immediately* upon going to the floppy, regardless of whether or not an "install.sh" file is present. (More on this in a moment.) The point here is that it seems to me that the installation process is geared toward a CD installation. I've never tried the CD install, but judging from several bits in the docs (eg: "For example, to do a minimal installation of FreeBSD from DOS using files copied from the CDROM, you might...") I get the idea that one is expected to have the CD, rather than downloading files from the Internet. Obviously, any install program distributed via the Internet ought to work for an Internet installation (sans CD). 2. Documentation of features: a. Virtual TTYs: After a *lot* of attempts, I finally discovered the virtual ttys in the install program. This was the source of a lot of the debugging info you'll find later in this message. This feature does not seem to be documented anywhere. I've just done a text-search for "virtual", "tty" and "vty" on install.txt, hardware.txt, and readme.txt, and came up blank. There are a couple of points in the install program where a message is diplayed saying something like "you might wish to look at the debugging info with scroll-lock on VTY1". But that is not explained either. I had to figure it out via trial and error. This is an important feature which needs to be explained in the docs! In a future release of the install program, you might even think about including a "write" feature to copy such info to a text file. It would save people like me the trouble of copying everything down by hand. (I reckon there might be some way to "snoop" the info via the shell prompt on ttyv3, but this is beyond my ken.) b. Editing: I've spent a fair amount of time at the www.freebsd.org site, looking for more info, but a lot of the text in the site relevant to installation seems to be copied verbatim from the install docs (or vice-versa). 3. Partitioning above 512MB: This may be just a superstitious hunch on my part, but I get the idea that FreeBSD (in the install mode, at least) may have some trouble mounting partitions that straddle the 512MB boundary. In particular, the swap partition seemed sensitive to this. However, the problems that gave rise to this "hunch" happened before I started taking notes on installation, so I can't provide any documentation. I just remember a few messages in VTY1 about "unable to mount wd0s3b" and such like. In any case, as I recall, the docs say only that the "boot" partition must *start* before 512MB, due to a limitation in the PC BIOS. 4. Floppies: The "install.txt" notes on floppy installation (quoted above) say only that the various "splits" of bin.tgz (ie: bin.aa, bin.ab...) have to be copied to a "bin" directory on the floppies. However, when I try a floppy install, it fails as soon as the prefatory steps (fsck, holographic shell, etc.) are done. Looking at the messages on ttyv1 (Alt+F2) shows that the program is looking for "/dist/bin/bin.tgz from fd1 on /dist" (or something like that, I didn't bother to write it down). It tries twice, looking for both bin.tgz and bin.inf, (total of 4 attempts) and fails on all. I don't see how I can possibly provide the install program with a single 15MB bin.tgz file on a dozen floppies. This is definitely a problem! 5. FTP Install: A few weeks ago, we had a disk crash on one of our FreeBSD servers at work (a power transformer in our neighborhood exploded, spiking the hell out of our system, right through the UPS, and crashing a HDD) and I spent a long weekend setting up a new server and restoring files from tape-backup. At that time, I found that the server names listed under the FTP items of the Media section are not entirely up to date. Specifically ftp.tw.freebsd.org (the fastest such site in my "neighborhood") has its files stored under a directory called "OS/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE". It required several tries with varying permutations of the "Release" field in "Options" and also of the site name itself to get the thing to work at all. Once it started, it worked great -- downloaded at several hundred Kbps/sec. But here again, the documentation could have been a bit more explicit. (As I recall, I eventually used the IP address as a URL in the "other" field: ftp://140.111.1.10/OS -- or something like that.) The point is, you might want to check with these people to make sure their configuration agrees with what's in your install program. Bear in mind that you're dealing with people who probably don't speak English very well. If need be, I speak Chinese fluently, and would be happy to help. 6. The FIXIT Floppy: I have been in and out of the FIXIT floppy at least a hundred times over the last couple of weeks. Here are a couple of things I noticed: a. Mounting MS-DOS Partitions: Although the install program itself seems quite capable of mounting and using msdos partitions, this capability is not native to the fixit floppy. Before I figured out about the "install.sh" thing, I suspected that the system might be having trouble installing from DOS, so I was going to just mount the msdos partition and copy the bin.?? files over to one of my ufs partitions to try an install with the "File System" option. Every time I tried, however, I got a message something like this: mount /dev/wd0s1 /mnt: /usr/sbin/mount_msdos: no such file or directory "No problem!" thought I, in my naive hubris, "I'll just log into the system and download the appropriate file from the office." Well, as you might imagine, this did not work exactly as I planned. Although I did eventually get this to work, the solution was not obvious; which brings up another point... b. File Structure: The file structure in "fixit" mode is not exactly "standard". I gather that this is necessary in order to make the thing works from the install program. But there is almost no documentation of the fixit mode. Perhaps an explanation of how this works could be included in an upcoming release? (For instance, why do many files show up with the same *huge* size? If I mount a file system in fixit, will it still be available when I "exit" back to the install GUI?) c. "Dirty" File-System: Often, I'd reach a dead-end in a "fixit" session and just "exit" back to install, and quit. Occasionally, however, the next time through I'd be unable to mount the fixit floppy, and would have to make a new one, then start all over again. Couldn't an "fsck -y" option be added to the fixit startup? 7. Can't Change Media-Type: I've noticed that if an install fails (eg: because the "bin dist" was not found) then I can't just go back to the "Media" section and change a few parameters. If I try this, the install program *immediately* says it can't find the bin dist, without even trying. Even to change just one parameter, I have to start the entire install over from a reboot. Of course, this means several minutes for each reboot (going into "-c" mode to select the right hardware devices), instead of a few seconds just to change a value somewhere. (I noticed this particularly often in the FTP install option.) That reminds me of one other thing... 8. Snide Messages: When the install program fails to find the "bin" dist, it exits with a message along the lines of, "You're going to have trouble booting the system without a working kernel!" (or something like that). This was humorous the first couple of times I saw it; but when it's 5:00 in the morning, on your 50th trip through the installation program, and you really *NEED* to get this thing working, it ceases to be funny anymore. Indeed, it is singularly likely to cause some hapless sod out there to chuck a perfectly good computer through a window! :-) 9. Partition Option & MBR: It has been my experience (again, not well documented) that no matter what option I choose in the "Partition" section of the install program, the first HDD (wd0 or sd0) will have its master boot record over-written. Even when I choose "Leave MBR untouched", it still happens. I don't wholly discount the possibility that I made a mistake somewhere; but I doubt I would have made the same mistake several times (on two different systems) unless there was a serious flaw, at least in the documentation. "Once bitten, twice shy," I was always *extremely*careful* in the partition option after the first time, but it still burned me a couple more times. I'm quite certain that it disobeyed my direct instruction to "leave the MBR untouched" at least twice. Not good! 10. Unpacking Order: On those occasions when I've tried installing the "X-User" distribution, I've noticed that the install program first unpacks X, dict, and doc *before* it starts looking for (and crashing upon) bin. This seems like a funny way to run a railroad! ;-) Thank god those occasions weren't on an FTP install at 28Kbps! It would have taken hours to get through all that unpacking, only to fail on the bin dist. ** My own specific problems: Okay, that's all that comes to mind about general problems with the installation program. I hope that the above information will prove useful in your continuing efforts to maintain a superior operating system. Although my loyalty has been sorely tested in the last couple of weeks, I still consider myself to be a "fan" of FreeBSD. This system has been working like a champ on two of our servers (at work) for the past year. I heartily applaud the efforts of the "core" team in putting out such a robust product. But I'm really getting tired of these problems at home. I hope you can help me get FreeBSD working on my computer!! Here's where I stand at the moment: 1. I copied the kernel from one of the office computers onto my wd0s2a partition, and after several fits and starts, it finally boots up... sort-of. 2. I put an "install.sh" file in my /dos/freebsd/bin directory, and the installation cruises right through the unpacking process right up to a file called "HB" somewhere in the depths of the "groff" structure. At this point, I find the following info in VTY1: gunzip: stdin: unexpected end of file /stand/cpio: premature end of file DEBUG: switching back to VTY1 awk: cmd. line: 2: for (i = 0; i < 32 i++) { awk: cmd. line: 2: ^syntax error awk: cmd. line: 2: for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { awk: cmd. line: 2: ^syntax error Switching back to the install program GUI (Alt+F1) I see that the program is stuck on the following information dialog: "Fixing Permissions". At this point, I have to reboot with a "cold" reset. I've found this situation a couple of times. Once, the system was just plain frozen. Another time, I was still able to enter commands in ttyv3 (Alt+F4) and do a controlled reboot that way. 2. I've tried various permutations on the bin.tgz/install.sh problem. I've used the DOS command "copy /b bin.?? bin.tgz" to concatenate the "split" files, and also used "cat bin.?? >> bin.tgz" under my "limping" BSD shell. Both the "install.sh" method and the "bin.tgz" method work up to a point. But both methods crash before finishing the unpacking of "bin". 3. I've also tried running the "tar" command from my existing command prompt. First, I chdir to the appropriate directory (either /dos/freebsd/bin or /FreeBSD/bin) and run either "cat bin.?? | tar --unlink -xpzf - -C /" or "tar --unlink -xpzf bin.tgz -C /". In every case, I get the same message as above ("unexpected EOF") except for one time when I got the following: pid 138 (tar), uid 0: exited on signal 10 fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x204 fault code = supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8: 0xf0186163 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 1 (init) interrupt mask = panic: page fault syncing disks... Seeing this, I suspected a problem in memory. I recently upgraded from 32MB to 64MB; and though I tested both new SIMMs thoroughly with QEFA, I pulled 'em anyway and tried again. After that, I had a couple more instances of the "tar" command stalling on "HB", as above. 4. As mentioned above, I've got a working kernel, which I copied from a machine at the office, and most of the "bin" dist already un-tarred onto my system. It almost works. When I boot this kernel, it goes multi-user and lets me log in as root, but it can't find a working "terminal type". It keeps prompting for the term type, and I've tried various permutations of "cons25", "vt100" and such, but the only thing that works is just to hit Ctrl+C, which dumps me into an "uncooked" console prompt. I copied most of the "termcap" directory from a system at the office, and made a symlink from /etc/termcap -> /usr/share/misc/termcap but this has no effect. *** I suspect that there's a problem in the actual binary files I downloaded from ftp.tw.freebsd.org, however, I'd like a second opinion from the "experts" on this. Alternatively, since I've got access to two working FreeBSD installations, could you provide me with a list of the binaries I need, and where they need to go? I could easily copy/download the needed files and install them. Would this be enough to get the system working at last? Finally, I'd like to thank you for trudging through this lengthy e-mail, and most of all for having created the FreeBSD system in the first place. As I've said, I'm a strong supporter of the project, and wish you all success. I hope that the level of detail in this message will be more useful to you than annoying. And I hope you can help me get past these difficulties.

I never bothered to post to questions (or stable) about it as I seldom shutdown my machines, but almost whenever I do, I can see this symptom. There are other weird things with shutdown on 2.1.5: For example, shutting down from an xterm (which used to work just fine) would hang up the machine instead of switching back to the console vty0 before halting. > > I have also seen a 'shutdown -h +0' go directly to rebooting. > > These problems did not appear until after upgrading from 2.1.

I have to fix this on a system, and cannot upgrade to 2.1.5R. I have looked at the diffs between 1.21.4.1 (2.1R) and 1.21.4.6 (I believe it is 2.1.5R). Looks like much of the difference comes from a renaming of variables; other than that, the code looks simpler.

There is no extra work required. It works as long as you can make the TCP/IP hosts known to the participating machines. Make to host known to your DNS server and enter the name in LMHOSTS or HOSTS (?). You then can connect e.g. to a Win95 share by specifying the \\host\share notation. You cannot browse though since this requires UPD broadcasts being routed (I'm told). > > I would like to be able to 'Explore' using W95 more than just > the local LAN. > > Regards, > Greg Laslett G_Laslett@motherwell.com.au > > --Chris Christoph P.

I installed the port and it runs fine but part of it's behavior I don't understand. When make was running configure, I selected SNMP2AUTH for the type of security desired. I have not, however, created or edited any of the security related files (party, view, etc.). When I queried the bsd box from netguard on a PC, I supplied a community of public and it returned the info. I supplied a community of private and it let me change several variables. I thought if I selected SNMP2AUTH it would reject requests unless things were setup in the config files. Why is it allowing 'public' and 'private' in the first place, and second if it has to be this way where can I change the community names 'public' and 'private'. Also the docs for the config files don't seem to exist (party.conf, view.conf, context.conf, and acl.conf). Does anyone know where I can get more neophyte oriented docs on these files configuration? Lastly, if anyone knows, does netguard support querying via SNMP2 or is it SNMP1 only? Thanks for any pointers! Jay L.

Ok, so it's a software and not a hardware problem. I too have seen lockups when shutting down from X. Could you send me a copy of your kernel config?

NetBIOS is an API designed for the PC. Implementations exist for various protocols, including TCP/IP, IPX, and NetBEUI. NBT (NetBIOS over TCP, RFC's 1001/1002) comes standard with Win95 and NT. > There is no extra work required. It works as long as you can make the > TCP/IP hosts known to the participating machines.

I think there are public WINS servers on the Internet as well, not sure how they do registration. One site is at winserve.com.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've just spent the weekend running around in circles trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 from the UK mirror at Imperial College (Sunsite N. Europe). I tried installing via FTP, NFS and from a DOS partition, with exactly the same result each time: "Write failure on transfer" at some point in most of the directories. As a last resort, I tried FTP-ing from FreeBSD.org itself - perfect installation first time, and twice the speed I was getting from Imperial down the road. SO..... I have to ask, has anyone successfully installed from the UK mirror recently? i.e. since August?? If I'm right, does anyone know who's responsible for that mirror site? AND, BTW How about a FAQ for this "Write failure on transfer" message? Looking back through the lists and groups, it seems to be a very common problem, especially since the message seems to cover a wide range of errors, e.g. bad geometry, corrupt data, memory cache problems et al. I think if there was more testimony on record on how people had solved the problem, installation could be made a lot easier.

Nope. I had this problem about 2 weeks ago, e-mailed a heads-up to questions@freebsd.org, and then e-mailed wizards@doc.ic.ac.uk about the problem. I had an e-mail from them the same day saying that they'd cleared out the files, re-mirrored them, and confirmed that they were correct against the published md5 checksums. As I say, this was about 2 weeks ago.

Is there such a pre-packaged version? Not really; the system is very expansive and componentalized. The best thing for a non-netted machine would be to buy the FreeBSD CDROM from Walnut Creek CDROM, http://www.cdrom.com/. Or use a netted machine and build a floppy set.

Any suggestions on how to debug what FreeBSD is finding? 1. Check the line in your kernel config; make sure it does line up. 2. IRQ 5 must not be used by another device. Make sure it is free. 3. Some video adapters stomp on the upper comports. Try changing the base address. 4. Make sure you are using the kernel you just built. I've done this on many occaisions. :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 28 12:26:52 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA00151 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 28 Oct 1996 12:26:52 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA00139 for ; Mon, 28 Oct 1996 12:26:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id MAA01134; Mon, 28 Oct 1996 12:26:39 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 28 Oct 1996 12:26:39 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Andrzej Popielewicz cc: "'questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: cdrom In-Reply-To: <01BBC3F8.A4CC9FC0@ppp-cen51.poznan.tpnet.pl> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, 27 Oct 1996, Andrzej Popielewicz wrote: > I have problems in installing FreeBsd 2.1.5, because generic kernel on > boot.flp does not support IDE ATAPI Cdrom and seems to have problems > with EIDE Western Digital drive.

A web server went belly up last night because of this. Why can't the OS recover from this ?. The memory hungry processes die off eventually, but instead the machine locks up and needs to be rebooted. On a related note, a Linux using friend takes pleasure in telling me that FreeBSD is brian-dead w.r.t memory management because it can't diff a couple of 20Mb files on a machine with ample memory and swap (combined). Are there any kernel tweaks in the area that could be useful ? thanks. rob From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 28 12:41:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA01285 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 28 Oct 1996 12:41:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from toth.hq.ferg.com (pm2-28.wmbg.widomaker.com [206.161.154.61]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA01271 for ; Mon, 28 Oct 1996 12:41:24 -0800 (PST) Received: from toth.hq.ferg.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by toth.hq.ferg.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA27358; Mon, 28 Oct 1996 15:41:04 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 28 Oct 1996 15:41:04 -0500 (EST) From: Branson Matheson X-Sender: branson@toth.hq.ferg.com To: Charlie Root cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: your mail In-Reply-To: <199610281722.LAA02314@ts1.netville.passage.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 28 Oct 1996, Charlie Root wrote: This problem has been handled via IRC. the #freebsd channel on BSDNet.

Well, the owner is root, with group bin. But, since *everyone* has read and execute permissions ( on this file and on the dir) ownership didn't seem relavent. The point is that fbsd won't *run* the file (or doesn't appear to). This problem now affects every user except root and *one* user, whose group memberships don't seem to be unique.

I know linux is crap, but the simple fact is my 96Mb FreeBSD machine with 77Mb of swap, doing nothing but "diff" on two files falls over with "diff: memory exhausted", while a 48mb linux machine with ? swap can produce the 700k diff file. When I run diff, "top" shows no evidence that the swap is being used or that 'cache' memory being reclaimed. The process grows to 33Mb then reports "diff: memory exhausted".

Date: Mon, 28 Oct 96 14:37:49 PST Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk My understanding is that when a user process receives a signal, processor state prior to reception of the signal is stored in the address space of the user process. Hence, during the handling of the signal the user could sneak in there and change the stored processor state. Then, on return from the signal handler the kernel would `restore' the sneakily modified processor state. In particular, the user could change the EFLAG value that had been saved. The kernel (in trap.c, I think) explicitly checks for this, and permits certain modifications to EFLAG. Modifications that are not allowed generate a segmentation violation or some such thing. There is a macro named something like PSL_USERCHANGE that has wired into it the EFLAG bits that the user is permitted to change. Examples would be the Carry and Zero condition code bits. My question: Why is PSL_VM excluded from the set that the user can modify? (If PSL_VM is set in EFLAG, the processor starts executing in Virtual 8086 mode.) What would the dangers be to system integrity if a user process started executing in Virtual 8086 mode? While the processor is executing in Virtual 8086 mode, the paging hardware still is enabled. It would appear that a user process operating in Virtual 8086 mode could do no harm to the kernel data structures or otherwise compromise the security of the machine. It might be useful to permit processes to operate in Virtual 8086 mode, for purposes of creating an operating environment to support execution of old 8086 code.

I'm considering purchasing a HP deskjet or Epson Stylus Pro color inkjet. Before I purchase a new printer I was looking for a list of printers supported by FBSD. I'm fairly new to FBSD (2.1.5), so I'm attempting to make installation and use as simple as possible. Unfotunately, I do NOT have a bottomless pit for a checkbook (my budget is about $400.00 USD MAX!!!). Any suggetsions on which printer would work best for my situation? FYI: I'm a college student, so my primary use for my system is web surfing, development/learning C++ (and other languages) and printing reports when needed for school. My professores want my source code printed with actual 'runs' of my code (to verify it works). Any suggestions for printers or references to resources that can help me (besides a spelling class [ha, ha]) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

This means that if you want to access your serial port at base 0x3e8 and IRQ 5, no other device can be configured to use either port 0x3e8 nor IRQ 5. You cannot share IRQs with exceptions for multi-port adapters. Many sound cards use irq 5 by default; make sure yours isn't.

I think you meant 'no_dam' which is OK. However, we do need to know the whole text of the message to know exactly what went wrong.

It depends on what you're doing. In most cases, where you're using it for bulk storage, I don't think it does you much good to split it up. If anythying, you split the free space all over the place and end up with "fragmented" partitions, where x is free over here on this filesystem and y free over there and z over there when x+y+z = a significant chunk of the system. There are some instances where you do want to do this, I believe one of them is nfs serving different volumes, since nfs mounts must be on mountpoints.

Hmmm.... It'll work, but it'll be inefficient IMHO. There is a case to be made for splitting a "large" filesystem (ie a news spool) across multiple disks & controllers since there is a hardware advantage: Devices can be accessed near-simultaneously on SCSI systems. I'm sure others will have different opionions becasue they actually have years of real-world experience. :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 28 17:46:22 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA14093 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 28 Oct 1996 17:46:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from overlord.edp.net (overlord.edp.net [205.243.209.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA14084 for ; Mon, 28 Oct 1996 17:46:10 -0800 (PST) Received: by overlord.edp.net; id AA12011; Mon, 28 Oct 1996 19:49:30 -0600 Message-Id: <3275613F.6811@overlord.edp.net> Date: Mon, 28 Oct 1996 19:43:28 -0600 From: Justin Erickson Reply-To: justin@overlord.edp.net Organization: The Cyber Palace X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01b1Gold (Win95; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Netscape Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Do you know were I can find a copy of Netscape for Free BSD?

Make sure it is free. If another device is live on the system (for example 14, used by primary IDE disk controller), then the system will not enable the second using the IRQ. Actually, IRQ 14 would be a REALLY bad one to try to share, if the kernel assigns it to the serial I/O port first, you're gonna crash when the IDE disk is not accessible. In response to another message from a third party and not copied to the list, the device _is_ enabled, you only need to enable it if the config file includes "disable" -- the message listed above, BTW, would not be issued if the device was disabled. Any other ideas?

Also, if you were mounting your DOS partitions from FreeBSD, you might want to stop that. The msdosfs has some known problems (one of which torches the FreeBSD partitions, even if the msdosfs is mounted read-only - it seems to get get triggered if you use FIPS to shrink a partition and/or it is a 63 sectors/track disk).

Hmmm...I'm trying to setup samba (1.9.16p7 if I remember correctly) at home...the configuration goes like this: "gw" - a 386 PC that I'm using as a FreeBSD box to gateway to the outside world. I'm running Samba on here. "nt" - my other "real" PC in its NT 3.51 Workstation mood. I'm trying to get things to a point where this box can browse shares exported from "gw", but I can't get it to browse "gw". I also run WfWg 3.11 and FreeBSD 2.1.5 on there, but that's not really relevant to this question... I've fiddled with some of the smb.conf settings on "gw" to set its "os level" to 34 and some other settings that I interpreted as meaning "make the Samba server the 'master'", but I'm not really familiar with the lingo here, so I'm not sure (I can just forward my smb.conf file if anyone's interested). Running 'testparm' and 'smbclient' (if I remember correctly) correctly show the shares that I intend to be exporting. From "nt", I can ftp files off of "gw" and I can use netscape to WWW browse and POP mail read via "gw", to the connectivity and routing is there, I think. Any suggestions?

By default, a se- quence must be at least four characters in length before being displayed. The options are as follows: -a By default, strings only searches the text and data segments of object files. The -a option causes strings to search the entire object file. -f Each string is preceded by the name of the file in which it was found. -n Specifies the minimum number of characters in a sequence to be number, instead of four. -o Each string is preceded by its decimal offset in the file. Strings is useful for identifying random binaries, among other things. SEE ALSO hexdump(1) BUGS The algorithm for identifying strings is extremely primitive. In partic- ular, machine code instructions on certain architectures can resemble se- quences of ASCII bytes, which will fool the algorithm. COMPATABILITY Historic implementations of strings only search the initialized data por- tion of the object file. This was reasonable as strings were normally stored there. Given new compiler technology which installs strings in the text portion of the object file, the default behavior was changed. HISTORY The strings command appeared in 3.0BSD. 3rd Berkeley Distribution June 6, 1993 1 -- tIM...HOEk The opinions expressed above are mine, and if my employer shares them, that's his hard luck.

I'm trying to get a decent terminal setup, but no matter what I do, something goes wrong. Either SLRN won't recognize some keys, or the telnet goes haywire, or trying to set up a 50-line mode freaks out. Here's what I'd like to have: 50-line mode with standard, supported keys that I can telnet with to another server. Part2: I'm running X in 800x600x16 mode (that's what it claims), but the monitor is in 640x480, and I have to use the mouse to scroll the screen. Will this go away with fvwm, or is it a video driver thing (which will change with 3.2)? jason -- Jason Bennett, jbennett@cc.gatech.edu | Member, Team OS/2!

Then created /etc/ppp/options and added a new user, who has pppd as login shell. /etc/ppp/options has the contents: 194.8.30.241:194.8.30.240 netmask 255.255.255.0 modem crtscts passive The routing table on FreeBSD the system, when connection is established looks like localhost.auxili localhost.auxilium UH 0 0 lo0 194.8.30 link#2 UC 1 0 os2srv.auxilium. 0:20:af:43:0:65 UHLW 0 20 ed0 1060 angel.auxilium.l 0:c0:df:41:af:8 UHLW 3 23 lo0 irs.auxilium.lv. 194.8.30.241 UH 1 55 ppp0 194.8.30.255 link#2 UHLW 0 1 194.8.32 link#1 UC 1 0 angel.auxilium.l 0:c0:df:41:ad:d7 UHLW 1 2 lo0 194.8.32.255 link#1 UHLW 1 3 However it's not possible to access any machine on LAN from ppp client machine. Also ppp client (194.8.30.240) is accessible only from the FreeBSD machine. But routing table seems fine, also ip.forwarding is ON in the kernel. What's missed ? Another problem is that ppp to FreeBSD works fine only for the first connection after FreeBSD system reboot. Any next connection establishes fine, but neither ping nor do anything else works over the link any next time connection is up. Why ? Online handbook was studied carefully, but I did not like the idea to let PPP own the modem completely, as other logons should be accepted as well, so PPPD was set as login shell. Was this acceptable ? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

McGovern" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Sorry for the cross posting - however, although this qualifies as a question, I think the hackers list will be able to provide the best answer... I have been running the FreeBSD 2.2 snaps on my pentium 100 for several weeks now, getting ready to set up a PA enviornment between my 6 machines to he do some testing (see prior exchanges with Jordan) of FreeBSD. This weekend, I installed an AWE32 Soundblaster, and have been running it fine under DOS/Windows with my 3Com card (3C509-B). However, last night I ran FreeBSD for the first time since its install, and suddenly, the ep0 probe fails to find the card. It seems to be related to the "identification" phase of the 3Com driver. It displays(non-verbatim) "found 8 3C5X9 adapters at 0x200 0x200 0x200 0x200 0x200 0x200 0x200 0x200", and then fails to see the real ep0 at 0x300 (irq 10). I've trolled through the mail lists, and saw reference to getting the new AWE32 driver from a site in Japan, which I did via my DOS partition. However, I think I botched the install, as I still can't get aq clean kernel to compile. I figured while I had downtime while I was at work today, I would see if anyone knew that this was the right direction, or if I was wasting my time, and they could suggest something better.

But I found Robert> nothing...(or missed). Could I ask you for some suggestions for Robert> this problem. 1. Use IP-level filtering to block incoming telnet connections except for those hosts you want to permit. You'll need to use the IPFW kernel facility, in conjunction with the ipfw(8) command, to accomplish this feat. See `http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook67.html#75' for details. 2. Block incoming telnet connections via the TCP wrappers package, which you use in conjunction with the `inetd' daemon. You can download a TCP wrappers port from `http://www.freebsd.org/ports/security.html'. Be sure to read the docs. 3. Replace `inetd' with `xinetd', which has per-host filtering built in. (It more or less combines the capabilities of `inetd' with the capabilities of the TCP wrappers.') Again, see http://www.freebsd.org/ports/security.html'. #2 and #3 are mutually exclusive. You can use #1 in conjunction with either #2 or #3 if you want. Note that packet filtering is the most minimal kind of firewall (aside from no firewall at all). Should you care to delve deeper into this stuff, consult one or both of the following books. (Full details on each book are available at the referenced web site.) Chapman, D. Brent and Elizabeth D.

Snip the cons25 entry from /usr/share/misc/termcap and use it on the remote host, if possible. Sometimes you can set the $TERMCAP environment variable to your own custom file to achieve this, but other times you need to ask the system administrator to install it for you, and/or merge it into their termcap or terminfo database. Failing that, you could try setting your remote TERM variable to "scoansi" or "bsdos". Results may vary, but scoansi if present usually works, even if reverse video sometimes doesn't. At least the keys will usually be right. If you're not using syscons, then there are various working pcvt emulations out there in termcap/terminfo land; some of them work well, others don't. 2) With screensize, there's a couple of things you need to do. Getting 50 lines out of FreeBSD is easy enough; load an 8x8 font in /etc/rc via /etc/sysconfig (see the comments there) and use vidcontrol to change the text mode. Or do both with vidcontrol. Assuming you've gotten that to work, then there's a secondary problem unless you're running a very recent version of -current. The "window size" is not correctly maintained across logins for virtual terminals, so when you rlogin/telnet elsewhere, rows and columns is also set to 0 on the remote system. You can correct that there using "stty rows 50 columns 80", or do that locally first before using rlogin/telnet. Of course, you need to be in 50 line text mode first. :) > Part2: I'm running X in 800x600x16 mode (that's what it claims), > but the monitor is in 640x480, and I have to use the mouse to > scroll the screen. Will this go away with fvwm, or is it a video > driver thing (which will change with 3.2)? Can you recycle through video modes using Ctrl-Alt-Grey+ ? I suspect you've installed all of the video modes, but left 640x480 as the first default mode. xf86config allows you to change the order, and if you select whatever you wish to use first, it'll come up in that mode by default. Panning is also an xfree86 setup option. In your /etc/XF86Config, there'll be a ``Section "Screen"'' (probably several). Look for the one you're using, and note what the statement "Virtual" within it states. This provides the *virtual* size of the X display - if it is larger than the resolution, then you have panning. You can disable it by adjusting the Virtual size to the same size as the resolution if you don't like it. Actually, it is a little disconcerting at first, but it isn't hard to get used to - the extra desktop real-estate comes in very handy at low resolutions.

First of all ... i have faild to get it running in it's all functionality. Now, more IMPORTANT, i want to thank all the persons that replied to my mail. Thanks for their time and effort, help and suggestions go to: - Daniel O'Callaghan - Gary Palmer - Joe Greco - Mathias Pantzare - Michael Smith - Narvi - Olivier Robert - Pedro Giffuni - Richard Wackerbarth - Thinker Li Thank you all. Now why did i fail to manage the bogus network: I could not figure out how to configure the ed0_a device appropriately for the given situation. I've tried it the following ways: 1. FreeBSD: ifconfig ed0_a inet 1.2.3.253 The ISPA-router was configured to push all packets for 1.2.3.253 in direction ed0_b with ed0_b == 1.2.3.36 The problem: The FreeBSD-box did not find the other boxes in the 1.2.3.-net because for packets to 1.2.3.x it was broadcasting on the ed0_a-ethernet-device and there was not response (i think this is what happend but i could be wrong). The solutions would have been: packet from |___ ed0_a |____ ed0_b |____ isdn |____ 1.2.3.x-box FreeBSD-box | | | | to 1.2.3.x | 2. FreeBSD: ifconfig ed0_a inet 192.168.3.1 ifconfig ed0_b inet 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xffffffff alias ISPA-router: ed0_b was configured to 192.168.3.103 and further to push all packets for 1.2.3.253 to the FreeBSD-box via ed0_b. The problem: Packets, adressed to internet had an IP-src-adr. of 192.168.3.1 and and did not return to the FreeBSD-box. I do not know what a solution could look like. 3. FreeBSD: ifconfig ed0_a inet 192.168.3.1 ifconfig ed0_b inet 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xffffffff alias ISPA-router: ed0_b was configured to 192.168.3.103 and ed0_b was configured to 1.2.3.36 and further to push all packets for 1.2.3.253 to the FreeBSD-box via ed0_b. The problem: Packets, adressed to internet had an IP-src-adr. of 192.168.3.1 and and did not return to the FreeBSD-box. I do not know what a solution could look like. Now the boss of the company decided to crash FreeBSD and to reinstall Linux, because linux could handle this bogus network as a gateway :( I am a little bit disappointed that i've failed to solve this problem and that linux will now be installed instead of FreeBSD, but ... ... SHIT happens sometimes. Hope there will be a new customer next days, that wants a gateway and does not have such a bogus network-topology. Darius Moos.

Well, in the morning, when I turned my machine back on yesterday, there was a flame on the circuit board of the 4th hard drive so that wasn't the problem so I just took the drive out and booted FreeBSD Unix then when I got home, it was still working and then the computer froze... So when I reboot to Win95, it doesn't let me boot the drive and kept reading Drive A: so I booted from floppies and used fdisk, it showed the drive with no partitions at all and having 100% of the physical space on the drive free. Norton Disk Doctor didn't find any partitions at all and I used Norton Disk Edit and then selected Advanced Recovery Mode and selected the physical drive Hard Disk 1 and then hit Virtual and it can see the entire directory structure of the DOS Partition so is there any way I can recover the data to another hard drive using Disk Edit or any other utility? Thanks in advance.

Diagnostics show the host adapter and HD to be fine. I am actually able to complete the installation without any snags. The entire drive is being used for FreeBSD and I've tried new installations with and without the Boot Manager. The problem I get on boot is "No Operating System Found". The partition is set to active and bootable. I took the SCSI HD out of the system and put IDE in. Get through the entire install with no errors. The BIOS is not set to protect the boot track. On boot I get "Read Error". If I put the bootdisk in and type sd(0,a)kernel at the boot: the system boots up fine off the IDE drive. If I do the same thing off the SCSI Drive (with IDE disabled in BIOS) I get a continously scrolling column up the left side of the screen showing the device numbers but not boot up. Please Help.

I would like to encapsulate my IP packets in IP+UDP packets. I was told that FreeBSD has a general support for IP tunneling. I think I found some code for IP tunneling (net/if_tun.c) but I do not know how to use it, and I did not find detailed documentation about IP tunneling. So my questions are : - is there a general support for IP tunneling in FreeBSD ? - How does it work exactly ? where can I find documentation ? thank you for your help.

Adaptec seems to have disavowed the 1510, as I can no info on their ftp site either. Anyone who really understands this stuff, is working on more recent hardware (ex. AHA 2940, and NCR PCI), which the way that it should be. BTW, how well does the 1742 driver work? This is a bit of an old card, but as I recall, it had pretty decent performance.

Is there a phone # I can call to ask someone to guide me through what is going on? The main problem I am having is I'm new to this FreeBSD and the documentation has many things in it that are not true. Most of the stuff in the book about ATAPI is just not on the CD. Is there a document with the real instuctions on how to get the kernel to recognize an ATAPI CDROM?

In /etc/ftpaccess use: guestgroup normal1gid guestgroup normal2gid Make sure the `admin' dude's group is not one of those two. When the other two connect they will be chroot(ed) to their own home directory. You'll have to add a /bin directory to each of their home directories with a copy of, or a hard link to, a statically linked version of ls.

I used a sup file I retreived from cvs.freebsd.org (I believe) that gets the src and ports. Unfortunately, after 175 megs of stuff, /usr filled up. A few questions: I trust CVS updates the main files, but it also seems to keep a complete backup. Which ones do I use? Is there an (X?) program that will show disk usage so I can clean some things out? Once I get the source (which I'm not sure is current or stable), is make world the best way to apply updates? jason src-base release=cvs host=sup.FreeBSD.org hostbase=/home base=/usr prefix=/home/ncvs

If your cdrom isn't detected, try moving it to the slave position on the primary controller. I'm guessing this is a laptop so that may not be easy or possible.

Once you get installed (and if boot.flp won't find it then a recompiled kernel won't either), look in the LINT kernel configuration file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and search for the ATAPI option section. There are a couple of lines to add to your kernel config.

Odd. Sounds like the boot blocks may have gotten screwed up. You might try reinstalling. Does your SCSI controller have a BIOS on it? I assume the 1542s do....

Or do I still need to get some kind of emulator. This is OK BUT BUT BUT FreeBSD's kernel must reside below the 1024th cylinder of the hard drive. This translates to: if your DOS partition is more than about 450mb then you will really need to watch your root partition size. The cap is somewhere around 500mb depending on your disk. This is a BIOS limitation.

For some reason the system can't identify where 157.182.105.123 is in a routing sense and thus can't get ARP information for that address. Try adding an explicit route for it.

In some cases it can confuse the boot blocks and cause them to confuse the kernel like it has in your case. Have you tried booting those disks explicitly with a boot disk and typing wd(0,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt? That will work 99% of the time. Then you can rebuild your kernel and point it in the proper direction with the 'kernel' directive in your kernel config. > , I figure I must have torched non-DOS partition/disk > slice information, although after FreeBSD decides my wd0 disk geometry > has changed to utterly bogus numbers and it forgets wd1's disk slices as > well, I'm starting to wonder.

I don't think the / partition is going anywhere, it's just that the kernel is getting confused as to where you're booting from. A gentle hint using the boot: prompt should allow you to boot.

AFAIK no problems. It's going to ignore the translator anyway. The only thing I would say is don't try to run without it, and DON'T INSTALL THE BOOT MANAGER!

Other nutty thing: you must make bin\ directories on the floppies then cram as many of the files you can into that directory, in sequential order. I think you can fit 5, maybe 6.

All you have to do is cat them together and pipe them through tar. For instance, the kernel sources are in ${FREEBSD-ROOT}/src/ssys.* on your favorite FTP site or /dists/src/ssys.* on the CDROM.

I haven't seen any failures to flush on any of my machines, but I have seen "lockups" (esp. with 3.1.2S) when shutting down from X. The system really hasn't locked up, the console has gotten locked out but it really is shutting down. > > I have also seen a 'shutdown -h +0' go directly to rebooting. That doesn't directly reboot; it halts the system giving no guard time, but doesn't actually force a reboot -- it says "press any key to reboot". It's equivalent to 'shutdown -h now' You may have meant 'shutdown -r now' which _does_ restart. > > Bad hardware or a bug? > > I guess it's a bug of some sortrs, as I see the same behaviour on two machines > (though I only shut them down for kernel rebuilds and the such, which is not > very often). It depends. It may be that your SCSI controller is trying to quit to quickly or the system is telling the SCSI controller to flush out too late/early.

This install may have been better done if installed from a DOS partition instead of floppies. The procedure for floppy installs from 2.1.5-RELEASE was not very good, but the DOS instructions are great.

Perhaps. You might try fresh files from ftp.freebsd.org and see if that helps. Also compare the file sizes of the bin.* components -- they should all be alike except the last one.

Sounds like your terminal type is not being guessed correctly. Try running 'tset' and report your terminal type as 'cons25'. If that doesn't work then you may need to reinstall your termcap database.

You are on 2.1.0 as well, try upgrading to 2.1.5. You really need to use a bigger partition; 64mb will get the binaries in and nothing else, ie your own files or other programs. Are you sure you want to do that? Questions like these should be addressed to questions@freebsd.org.

What command line(s) are you using? pppd should automatically configure the starting interface; you should be able to run ifconfig ppp0 alias xx.yy.zz.qq netmask 255.255.255.255 and they should be added with no less fanfare.

It depends on where you are in relation to the antennas. A friend of mine has found that the Ricochet modem overclocks the serial port, so watch out if you have a laptop with a 16450 UART -- you'll have to run at 19200 instead of the max 38400. > Hmmm, do you just use a three digit number to reach U of Oregon > like the number**ppp or is the number longer than that and is the > performance different if you just used the ricochet internet service > instead of the university gateway? Yup. I haven't used Ricochet's service so I can't compare them. All I know is that the University is free and Metricom's is not :) > I am using mines on my desktop and > even one foot away, it was making my screen's information shaking and my > speakers kept getting the static... We have found that some monitors and other hardware are not well shielded, and the radio transmissions do interfere with them. There is a Mac with an older display that has this problem. The best thing to do is move the radio. You can buy a 10 ft cord from Metricom so you can place the modem further away from the problem hardware.

But waiting a few minutes and then cycling the power would find the root partition with its clean flag off.

At apparently random times, the SCSI subsystem would just appear to enter an unstable state, resulting in the following sort of messages flooding to the logs: Oct 29 11:00:38 asterix /kernel: ncr0: have to clear fifos. Oct 29 11:00:38 asterix /kernel: ncr0: restart (fatal error). Oct 29 11:00:38 asterix /kernel: sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @f0e7d000.

Once or twice syslogd even core dumped. Yesterday I tried to do a df on my swap partition (/dev/sd0s1b) - don't ask my why - and the system crashed immediately; blank screen followed by the BIOS. I tried it again a few times. Sometimes it would have no effect, sometimes I'd get failures like those above before a crash, and sometimes an immediate crash. Note that I ran df as a normal user, not root! :( Any ideas would be appreciated.

You can get great book(s) on X from O'Reilly. It's a series that covers everything about X (I didn't check recedntly but I'd estimate there are about 10 books in the series - some of them in two versions: standard X or X+Motif). The "For Dummies" volume is volume 3: X Windows System User's Guide (look at http://www.ora.com/catalog/v3/). These are considered by many (including my humble self) to be *the* definitive guides on X (though I mainly use the volumes on programming: 1,2,4,5 and 6A-C).

They see about 9.6Kbs throughput with MASSIVE packet delays - on the order of seconds. They're OK if you use a POP/IMAP service or want to use them for viewing Web stuff (although the 9.6Kbs throughput is not impressive...), but for interactive stuff they're worse than going through a satellite link. :-( One of my friends was using his laptop in his living room to connect to his main system in his study. Apparently he was connecting through the DC hub, which routes him to Texas, then through SF to NASA's hub there, then back to DC and to his house.

Yes, plus being able to share a printer with one on a Novell network. Printer can be on either side, TCP/IP or IPX/SPX. I know Linux already has IPX support available. I don't know how extensive it is. I haven't looked into the documentaton for ipxtools. I'm trying to make a decision between FreeBSD and Linux.

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 have FreeBSD version 2.1.0 and am having a bit of trouble with telnet in the line-at-a-time mode. It seems to work fine when you send lines shorter than about 132 charecters, but longer lines get broken and counted as a new line after about the 132 charecter mark. So when you type: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. [CR] It is sent as... The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy do[CR] g. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. [CR] Using a MUD client like saywhat, TinyFuge, or TinyTalk won't change this problem at all. The server that used to run the ISP (uranus.novagate.com) had BSDi version 2.1.0 and suffered exactly the same problem. It wasn't until they upgraded to a new server (sulaco.novagate.com), and to a new version of BSDi, that the problem went away. The problem can be really inconvient because if I want to use the .tell command to tell someone something in private, I have to limit what I have to say to about one line. MUDs that can work with the charecter mode can ignore the broken lines. The MUDs that are strictly line-mode can't.

As far as I know, this affects all FBSD. A temp fix is to chmod -s it, but I wonder if anyone has a patch for this. The exploit itself has been around for a while, but it seems to be resurfacing (as they always do) and coming into vogue... From what I gather it's some sort of race/overflow thing that makes lpr make you a nice little root owned SUID shell. I also have a few other little things I've found; is there any sort of security related list/archive for FBSD? CERT is so ridiculously behind on these things it's not even funny.

Same exact termcap.db, in fact I have to purposely squirrel away a copy of my termcap because it gets clobbered when I rebuild /usr/bin or wherever it lives (it has a required custom terminal in it). tset is always set to 'cons25' for either kernel - and the initial echo oddity is, of course, before any explicit tset operation. I'll try poking around with termcap today, but I was inadvertently using the rebuilt termcap when this problem first cropped up. -Dave From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 30 08:57:04 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA03817 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 30 Oct 1996 08:57:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from dyslexic.phoenix.net (root@dyslexic.phoenix.net [199.3.233.7]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id IAA03792 for ; Wed, 30 Oct 1996 08:56:58 -0800 (PST) Received: (from gemohler@localhost) by dyslexic.phoenix.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) id KAA10121; Wed, 30 Oct 1996 10:56:56 -0600 (CST) Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 10:56:56 -0600 (CST) From: Geoff Mohler X-Sender: gemohler@dyslexic.phoenix.net To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: HP Vectra Booting Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Im working with an HP Vectra VL, Series4 5/166. It has 16Mb of ram, and a 1.2G hard drive. It came with W95 and worked fine..of course. I have tried to install FBSD about 5 times now..and although the install goes great, the machine refuses to boot FBSD. The machine responds "Read Error" when it jumps from the floppy to the HD to boot. I have set the CMOS to both standard and extended translation for each installation and get the same results. I also tried to reformat and install DOS6, and it seems to install perfect, but even DOS gets the same results.."Read Error". I can install BSD and boot a floppy, and do a boot: wd(0,a)kernel, and that works perfectly as well. All hardware and the HD itself check out perfectly in diagnostics. Now..even though it will not boot DOS6 by itself, and will not boot FBSD by itself, it WILL boot boot-manager...and let me go to either DOS6 or FBSD. Any ideas why this will not boot FBSD by itself? It seems to me that since I formatted FBSD the first time..the machine it not prepared to accept a foreign boot sector. "Quark & Odo in '96. Law, order, and a tidy profit."

The ix driver only supports the EtherExpress16 card from Intel. Work is being done to write this driver, so support should be forthcoming. For now, you probably will not be able to get the card to work. Check the hardware list at the FreeBSD web site to see if you have other NICs available to you that are on the list and supported.

You will most likely want some of the other distributions as well (e.g. manpages, some of the src, etc.). Once you have a distribution downloaded, copy files (usually five at a time will fit on one 1.44mb floppy) to a diskette or diskettes. The first floppy of any distribution (the one containing the .aa file) needs to also have the .inf file for that distribution on it. When the installation process asks you to insert the next floppy, after the boot floppy, put in the first diskette of the bin distribution. This diskette should have bin.aa, bin.ab, bin.ac, bin.ad, bin.ae, and bin.inf on it. When the install is done with that diskette, it will ask you to insert the next diskette for the bin distribution, and indicate to you that the bin.af file should be on that diskette. You would, of course, put as many distribution files on the diskette as possible. The trick with the 2.1.5R version (or later if the process has not changed) is that the first .aa and .inf file of the next distribution you want to install needs to be on the last diskette of the current distribution being installed. What does this mean? Let's say that in addition to the bin distribution, you also wanted the subin distribution. What you would do is put at least the last bin file on a diskette (bin.cc?), along with subin.aa and subin.inf; you could put more of the subin files onto the diskette if they fit. By doing this, the install process knows that it is done with the bin distribution, and then checks for other .inf files on the same diskette. The only other nuance is that there is an order that the install process expects to find the distributions, and if you don't follow the order, it doesn't matter what .inf is on the diskette. If it isn't the right one, then the install process moves on and complains that it couldn't find other selected distributions. So, the order is as follows: bin, doc, games, manpages, proflibs, dict, info, sbase, sgnu, setc, sinclude, slib, slibexec, slkm, srelease, sbin, ssbin, sshare, ssys, subin, susbin, smailcf, des, krb. Hope this helps you get through the floppy install process.

It was the bin.info. When I downloaded, it came last, in the last disk. Surprisingly, the book program does not give out any hint that it is bin.info that is needed, as it does for all bin.a* bin.b* files. Nor does the readme/release docs say anthing about that. So I inserted the last disk first, and then it went smooth. Appreciate your help.

Your build is failing in a prior compile step, and the vers.c code isn't being compiled as a result. As I remember, there is a routine in wu-ftp that has the same name as a routine in the FBSD libraries and includes. The prototypes are a near match, but I didn't check to see if they were the same. I simply renamed the wu-ftp routine, as the code was called in only about 3 places. It compiled clean after that.

It's more like praise. I've been using FreeBSD a little over a year now. Since then, I've become a subscriber to Walnut Creek's FreeBSD-current and FreeBSD-RELEASE. I absolutely love it. I've used it on machines from a Cyrix 486-DLC to a Dell P100 with no problems. Over this past summer, someone tried to persuade me, in vain, to get into Linux. I just can't see why someone would NOT want to use FreeBSD. It's networking support is amazing, the VM support is some of the best I've seen (even better that IRIX to a degree), and the kernel is as solid as it comes. I just want to say great job, and I hope you continue to put out releases because I will continue to use FreeBSD. -marcus -- , , /( )` \ \___ / | Joe "Marcus" Clarke /- _ `-/ ' Cu SeeMIDI Developer (/\/ \ \ /\ University of Miami / / | ` \ marcus@ocala.cs.miami.edu O O ) / | http://ocala.cs.miami.edu/~jmcla `-^--'`< ' (_.) _ ) / `.___/` / `-----' / <----. __ / __ \ <----|====O)))==) \) /==== <----' `--' `.__,' \ | | \ / /\ ______( (_ / \______/ ,' ,-----' | `--{__________) FreeBSD --Turning PCs into workstations http://www.freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 30 18:12:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id SAA17843 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 30 Oct 1996 18:12:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from athenet.net (root@minerva.athenet.net [205.242.245.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id SAA17838 for ; Wed, 30 Oct 1996 18:12:15 -0800 (PST) Received: from rakort.fv.net (pm-at-0-16.athenet.net [204.120.6.56]) by athenet.net (8.7.5/8.7.5) with SMTP id UAA07278; Wed, 30 Oct 1996 20:12:06 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <327809BF.5623@athenet.net> Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 20:06:55 -0600 From: Brian Bayorgeon Reply-To: riff_one@athenet.net Organization: The Net Crew X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Jeffrey Auerbach CC: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Socks5, FreeBSD, and Win95 References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Jeffrey Auerbach wrote: > > Hello, > > Has anyone been able to get socks5 working on their FreeBSD machine to > accept connections from their windows95 machine?

Well, whats your excuse FOR NOT FIXING THE ATAPI STUFF YOURSELF? Its not as if anyone's feelings are going to be hurt because you are not using FreeBSD. And heck, keep in mind FreeBSD is essentially a volunteer effort. Volunteers don't work on projects because somebody like you WANTS it, they do it because THEY want it. If you want each and every little PC gadget and quirk suppored on your PC then you've got to run Microsoft's products. Or Linux, as there is very little PC-ish stuff that Linux doesn't lovingly adopt, no matter how poorly its documented or implemented (hint: ATAPI). However, *I* tried FreeBSD with a Sony ATAPI CDROM, it seemed to work fine, so I bought the drive: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (atapi): , removable, accel, dma, iordy wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: no disc inside, unlocked Haven't hardly used it since. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@tomcat1.tbe.com (wk), dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

It seems to be something related to precedence of the default rules and the SRCS variable. May be a bug, may just be a difference. Do a 'cd src; gmake vers.o; cd ..' and try the build again. If you don't have gmake installed, a 'cd src; sh newvers.sh; cd ..' should do the same thing. Once you get past this, I don't think there are any more problems to deal with.

I can boot with the 2.2-SNAP floppy and it works, probing the disks on the device. Booting from 2.1.5-R probes the PCI device and quickly mentions 'Adaptech' something or other but there are no drive probes. At first I didnt realize it was finding it on the PCI bus, as it was just the one line probe, and wasnt formatted like a standard probe message. -Brandon GIllespie From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 30 21:49:27 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA29757 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 30 Oct 1996 21:49:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.webspan.net (mail.webspan.net [206.154.70.7]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA29747 for ; Wed, 30 Oct 1996 21:49:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from orion.webspan.net (orion.webspan.net [206.154.70.5]) by mail.webspan.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA08904; Thu, 31 Oct 1996 00:48:17 -0500 (EST) Received: from orion.webspan.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by orion.webspan.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA29683; Thu, 31 Oct 1996 00:48:17 -0500 (EST) To: robh@imdb.com cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: "Gary Palmer" Subject: Re: server death when swap space is all gone.

I often run my workstation out of memory (too conservative on swap allocation) and NEVER have a lockup problem. Same with the news box, which sometimes runs out of memory for some strange reason.

Check there aren't some sort of weird permission promblems on both the directories and contents of /usr/lib and the file /usr/libexec/ld.so, or that those dirs aren't NFS mounted with `-root=nobody' or something on the server.

Start telnet without a hostname, so it goes into command mode, then type `display'. You'll see ^O is used for `flushoutput'. You can change this to something else using the `set flushoutput' command.

You see, I got a piece of code called 'strings.c'. This code came along with FreeBSD. I do not know what version is this, looks like "5.10 (Berkeley) 5/23/91". Anyway, when I am trying to compile this code under AIX 4.1.2 I am getting error specifically in two areas. 1. "struct EXEC" is not defined -- seems to me some of the header file which is mentioned in the code may not contain the same thing in AIX's header file. 2. I am also getting errors on "N_BADMAG" and "N_TXTOFF". My compiler is failing to use this part from the header file mentioned in the program. Incidentally, I found all the header file in AIX OS except "sys/types.h" Now can anybody help me out to resolve this incompatibility / portability problem between BSD and AIX. If necessary I can also send the program if that help. My phone # is 404.250.1575. Any kind of early help or even clue to the help will be appriciated.

This is a volunteer project. I'm afraid that all the complaints in the world won't change the fact that unless someone (a) has the time to work on it, (b) wants to work on it, and (c) has the hardware relevant to what he wants to work on, nothing will get done. The ATAPI standard is a mess, and that is one thing that has disuaded people. And a lot of developers have higher-end systems that have SCSI, and hence wouldn't touch IDE with an electrified barge pole. I believe someone has volunteered to work on the driver, but as with everything, no promises I'm afraid. I'm sorry to hear your complaint, and wish that something could be done, but we just don't have the resources (financial or human) to throw at this and make the entire system better.

Check that you don't have `setenv PAGER less' in one of your shell setup files. man certainly doesn't use `less' by default on any FreeBSD release I'm familiar with Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.

I have tried them all and they did NOT work !!! To simplify the situation, i've tried to get the network running, that is pictured below (at the end of this mail). Now look at all the configurations i've tried: The ISPA-Router was always configured to send packets with dst-ip 1.2.3.253 through ed1. The FreeBSD-box had always 1.2.3.36 as the default-router. 1. FreeBSD: ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 The problem: When sending a packet to www.freebsd.org it returns back as it should do (no problem), BUT when sending a packet to the 1.2.3.x-net (ie. 1.2.3.10 or 1.2.3.11 or 1.2.3.252 or...) nothing happens. The packet don't even get on the Telco-wire. The packet don't get to the ISDN-card. The reason: (i do not really know but i'm assuming this to be the reason) FreeBSD broadcasts for the dst-ip on the ethernet-segment FreeBSD is part of through ed0. Since there are only two IPs and two ethernet-adr.es on the wire, the broadcast for the dst-ip (ie. 1.2.3.10 or 1.2.3.11 or 1.2.3.252 or...) gives no result. So the packet does not get on its way to the 1.2.3.x-net. The solution would be: A configuration-command for FreeBSD to send all packets through ed0. 2. FreeBSD: ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xffffffff The problem: The router (1.2.3.36) was not found when the default-route is set in /etc/netstart. The reason: Network unreachable error The solution would be: A configuration-command for FreeBSD to send all packets through ed0. 3. FreeBSD: ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 broadcast 1.2.3.0 The problem: The router (1.2.3.36) was not found when the default-route is set in /etc/netstart. The reason: There were no broadcast-packets at all and therefor the Router was not found and entered as LINK# in the routing-table. The solution: I do not know what a solution could look like in this situation. 4. FreeBSD: ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 broadcast 1.2.3.36 The problem: The Router (1.2.3.36) was found but again all other hosts on the 1.2.3.x-net were not found The reason: FreeBSD was broadcasting for this hosts on the ethernet but there was not answer, because this hosts are only reachable through the ISDN-connection and not directly through the ethernet-wire. The solution would be: A configuration-command for FreeBSD to send all packets through ed0. I have tried this four cases also with the additional parameter "-arp" but that did not help either and the effects were the same. Then i've tried to make 1.2.3.253 an alias on ed0. The Router was configured to send all packets with dst-ip 192.168.4.1 through ed1. 5. FreeBSD: ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.4.1 ifconfig ed0 inet 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xffffff00 alias The problem: When sending a packet to www.freebsd.org it returns back as it should do (no problem), BUT when sending a packet to the 1.2.3.x-net (ie. 1.2.3.10 or 1.2.3.11 or 1.2.3.252 or...) nothing happens. The packet don't even get on the Telco-wire. The packet don't get to the ISDN-card. The reason: (i do not really know but i'm assuming this to be the reason) FreeBSD broadcasts for the dst-ip on the ethernet-segment FreeBSD is part of through ed0. Since there are only two IPs and two ethernet-adr.es on the wire, the broadcast for the dst-ip (ie. 1.2.3.10 or 1.2.3.11 or 1.2.3.252 or...) gives no result. So the packet does not get on its way to the 1.2.3.x-net. The solution would be: A configuration-command for FreeBSD to send all packets through ed0. The same is true for case 2,3,4 with the additional ifconfig-alias command and the symptoms are the same as described in this cases. Further i have tried an netmask of 0xffffffff for the alias command (i know this is not intended for that situation but i've tried anyway) It did not work either. So summarizing all my experiences i've collected with this configuration i have to come to the conclusion, that the specified network is NOT possible with FreeBSD. But what's really disappointing is the fact, that Linux-1.(something) can handle this network :( , maybe because it is breaking some standards. So my final question is: To whom in the developers-group should i send this report ? Is this report of any use ? Darius Moos.

Why on earth do you have .253 and .36 on the same wire, which is a separate wire from the rest of that network. No wonder it does not work. You should really get two IP addresses close together - .35 and .36 and use netmask 0xfffffffc. If you *have* to use .253 and .36, and you can't get a more sensible pair from your ISP, my preferred option would be to change ISP. Failing that, ifconfig ed0 1.2.3.253 netmask 0xfffffffc arp -s 1.2.3.254 0:0:0:0:0:0 (substitute ethernet address of router) route add default 1.2.3.254 But I'm still baffled as to how your router knows that .253 is on one link and the rest of 1.2.3.x is on another link.

Indeed, I use an accounting system for ISP build around Postgres95 databases, and now are experimenting building applications (materials, financial) using FreeBSD/php/postgres95. The dbms is secure, and very fast, the interface to the dbms using php as a apache module is very handy. I like it.

Still, you could have mentioned: In Germany and other parts of Europe, the Teles S0 and compatible boards are supported. They *should* work in the US, though nobody's done it yet. They currently only run single channel connections (you can have two different connections to different destinations). The theoretical maximum throughput is 8 kB/s (64,000 bps), which is somewhat less than the theoretical maximum of the 115.2 kbps lines (11.52 kB/s). See the handbook for further information. There's a mail list (in English) which you can join by sending mail to isdn-request@muc.ditec.de.

Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >I have tried them all and they did NOT work !!! AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE. LOOK AT THE ROUTER! You, for some unknown reason, expect the FreeBSD box to fix a problem in the routing tables at the router. You have already admitted that you can go from 1.2.3.253 to the outside world. Now configure the router so that it can take care of the 1.2.3 network. A packet arriving from ANY address should be router toward the proper destination. The FreeBSD box thinks that ALL 1.2.3 addresses are on its ethernet. The ROUTER must make that true. The best solution is to have adajacent IP addresses for the FreeBSD box and the Router and then use a netmask of 0xfffffffc. As an alternative IN THE ROUTER, have it arp for the 1.2.3 addresses that you wish to have visable to the FreeBSD box. I'm sorry, but I am getting very tired of your attitude that it is the fault of the FreeBSD box. Fix the f*cking router and quit blaming the FreeBSD box.

I went out and bought a SCSI cd just to install 2.0.5. It worked. Then 2.1.0 came out and I bought it and tried it on my other machine with a ATAPI/IDE CD and it worked fine. Then 2.1.5 and it worked fine with both the SCSI and ATAPI/IDE. I have not noticed any difference in installation or daily use (of course I'm on stand alone machines) of either CD and have no problems (bugs or user). Agreed that the IDE CD is the most popular because of the price and the fact it come standard on most DOG/WINDOZE machines and I personally think that they have done a splendid job of hacking together the driver to accomodate us poor souls that don't have the resourses to buy or acess workstations. Give it a try, worst case senerio is you reinstall DOG/WINDOZE or the other OS (which I'm sending the message from) and you go your merry way. By the way - from the purist point of view, Linux is a nightmare - however my machines (stand alone) don't agree.

It's a little worrying that this could be triggered by malicious users who try to grab all the swap space in an attempt to take down the machine. rob From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 31 06:10:08 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA07170 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 31 Oct 1996 06:10:08 -0800 (PST) Received: from hauki.clinet.fi (root@hauki.clinet.fi [194.100.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA06987 for ; Thu, 31 Oct 1996 06:08:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from [194.100.45.1] (mac.metis.clinet.fi [194.100.45.1]) by hauki.clinet.fi (8.7.6/8.6.4) with SMTP id QAA27530 for ; Thu, 31 Oct 1996 16:08:38 +0200 (EET) X-Sender: pera@pop.hut.fi.

I had the same problem. It seems that there are two versions of the card, the original 3c590, and the 3c590b, which is what everyone is selling these days. There was a change made in the board which seems to break the vx driver under FreeBSD. I didn't have any of the original 3c590 boards available, so I grabbed a 3c595, which I did have, and it works like a champ.

There isn't enough information here to really say for sure. But here goes. For many cases of DBMS access, I like to write Perl code that will perform whatever functions you're looking for. Very often in my case, it's a good idea to put a web-based front end on everything, so that users can have a nice point-and-click type of view of their data, generate custom reports, etc. There's a lot of good stuff in Perl that will make development of such things pretty painless.

End users often make the argument that because something works with DOS/Win3.1/Win95, why doesn't it work with this? For one thing, the aforementioned commercial offerings don't stress a system as much, or test how well the hardware cooperates. Some hardware manufacturers get by with doing less in the name of supporting *just* those offerings, particularly to get it on the market. After all, how many times has an HP or Sony or whoever come up with something new, only to have a score of competitors offer it 3 or 6 months later at a fraction of the price? For another, anything added to FreeBSD passes through a lot of hands for the most part before being blessed. This hopefully keeps most of the bad surprises to a minimum. And the people involved are doing this as a volunteer effort. I wish I had that kind of dedication. The bottom line is: it tends to take longer for some of these things to shake out in FreeBSD than in some other OS's (and pretenders). A lot depends on how much manufacturers will make available to the core team. Some just won't divulge anything, thinking they're somehow giving up some kind of advantage. Some don't document it correctly. It's too bad, but that's life. Myself, I use SCSI, but I can deal with the attendant configuration issues since it mirrors much of what I do at work. But I can sympathize with users who "just want it to work". On the other hand, I can't see applying that philosophy to Un*x in general: there's a lot that goes on that you can't just throw in a batch file, to make a gross analogy. I will say this: we took a comparison program for our CAD group that ran under DOS, and when we hit the conventional memory wall, I made a couple of changes (library compatibility), put it on FreeBSD, and it ran *3 times faster on the same hardware* And that was a Pentium 75. That, folks, is power.

My guesses: 8) 8*8k = 64k; conversion is for sync framing 10) 1 start + 8bits + 1 stop = 10bits; conversion is for async framing A more interesting question might be 64k + 64k = 128k. 128k != 115.2k. Here the answer is that the max PC port rate is 115.2k (unless you get a decent [non-Intel] UART serial board or buy a card from Dennis). So the conversion from sync to async is internal to the device, and is limited by the bit rate of the device-to-computer interface. This is the general problem with externally interfaced serial devices. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

It needs pwd.db to properly set the user id in anon ftp. I have tried the following: pwd_mkdb -d /home/craigs /home/craigs/passwd to make a password db out of a small password file. It tells me the file has a corrupt entry or is not in a proper format. Is that the correct syntax for pwd_mkdb or does that need to run under root? If that doesn't work anyone know where I can get a FreeBSD "ls" that uses plain text?

We have already re-compiled the kernel to the following specifications, and obvioucly we are looking to increasing them further. I'd like to know where we are going to hit a wall, and wether those walls are scalable and if so how. I'm sure some of you have done this already. CHILD_MAX=128 OPEN_MAX=360 maxusers 64 We are currently running 250 Virtual Servers under this configuration, I would assume we can go to ~360 readily. btw this is a P166/64Mb machine.

Same with the news box, which sometimes runs out of memory > for some strange reason. I also experienced mysterious lockups. Running 2.1.5 on 16MB with 80 MB Swap, I was almost always short of memory (after a few days uptime). When some jobs required more memory (Netscape, Reduce, ghostscript) it caused several times one of the first processes to be killed -- which was usually Xserver, xdm, ... (I think so.) Thus, sometimes I would find the video card messed up (having to reboot blindly), sometimes I would find myself in text mode (but everything else was also killed :-( :-( ). On other occasions the machine was simply irresponsive, only hitting reset or power cycling would help. (the X-screen was simply frozen) I think something else must have been killed. However, maybe something else caused a panic and I was dropped to the debugger, which was "hidden" under the graphics screen ??? (How do people handle panics under X with debugger compiled in ?) Now I'm using 100MB swap and add sometimes a 40MB file on a DOS partition as swap. No problems since then, as I keep an eye on swap now. Hope, this description gives an idea. Any suggestions ?

I didn't read the original mail as "My ATAPI-CDROM isn't recognized when I booted 2.x.y." but more like "I read the READMEs and they looked the same, so nothing seems to have changed". Since, even on the 2.1.5 install disk some screens refer to 2.1.0, I think one can easily mislead by a casual look at the READMEs.

Also, a FFT program runs with huge image on both machines without problem and had same result. Problem: Machine periodically panic with: supervsor writing page fault. The period is about 10 minutes. Since trap reports that page fault, but the memory simms are good, so I disabled both internal and external caches, the crashing still happenes about every 10 minutes. Does FreeBSD kernel do some memory writing every 10 minutes at some where? The interesting thing "why it panics about every 10 minutes?" If this is defect of memory, cache, or MMU, it should crash when ever the memory is addressed. Is this a defected motherboard, or is there some time tricky for this problem? Attached is the core dump, which is not very meaningful for me. Please send any information or suggestion for this problem. If FreeBSD does not work with this motherboard, I will exchange this motherboard with AUSU one A.S.A.P before the 30 days. If this is a defected motherboard, I will ask the vendor to change a new one.

I set logging for some actions of the user but I am not able to find where it logs :-) 2) How must I do to create an user that can do uploads in directory owned by root , and group(ped) by wheel ? i.e. I'd like to ftp new pages in the /usr/local/data/www for our web server (http://www2.masternet.it, come to visit... :-) but normal user can't do that obviusly, even if they are in group 0 too... 3) My guest group is the group of every user in my server 2000-->normal user. Now to make them restricted in the /home I made the changes in etc/passwd to every user home dirs from /home/username to /home/./username so the user has as root for ftp the /home partitions and not the / itself. Ftp needs to works properly a /bin/ls , so I create an home/bin with ls inside. If I tried to leave every homedir (in /etc/passwd) unchanged the server restricts yes the user in their /home/username (/ --> /home/username) but I must create a bin directory for every user (with the ls inside) in his /home/username. Now (finally) the question is : Is possible to have the second solution without the need to create for every user the /home/username/bin directory ? Thanks for you attention (and sorry for my bad english. I am not sure everythings may be understood...:-) thanks very much to everybody...

We're running OK now with one NIS master and a couple of clients. Machine A is the server, and B and C are the clients. What would I need to do to convert B into a secondary slave server ? I'm not quite sure as to the format of the ypservers file on the master machine, and the flags necessary to bring up the slave in slave mode. I tried creating a ypservers file with A and B on seperate lines, redid the NIS maps. (took a quick look at ypservers with 'yp_mkdb -u ypservers' to see that information had changed, rebooted the machines and discovered that the client could not NIS from the master. I think maybe machine B jumped in and grabbed machine C's ypbind request but didn't have the maps from which to serve. I could use a little nudge in the right direction, I think I'm on the right track. -Kurt From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 31 16:00:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id QAA17933 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 31 Oct 1996 16:00:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from root.com (implode.root.com [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA17915 for ; Thu, 31 Oct 1996 16:00:32 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by root.com (8.7.6/8.6.5) with SMTP id PAA19306; Thu, 31 Oct 1996 15:59:30 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199610312359.PAA19306@root.com> X-Authentication-Warning: implode.root.com: Host localhost [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: cmcurtin@research.megasoft.com cc: Javier A Garcia Mantecon , "'questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: Intel EtherExpress Pro + In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 31 Oct 1996 09:17:41 EST." <199610311417.JAA23770@goffette.research.megasoft.com> From: David Greenman Reply-To: dg@root.com Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 15:59:30 -0800 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >>>>>> "Javier" == Javier A Garcia Mantecon writes: > >Javier> Is there any special configuration for an Intel EthrExpress >Javier> Pro.

A Teles bought in Europe has a S0 interface. This doesn't mean they won't work. This means that you need an NT.

To the best of my knowledge, NTs are available in the US too. Not every device has an integrated NT: it's not economical if you have multiple devices. And of course, if you intend to install more than one Teles board on a single line, you only need one NT, so you don't necessarily need one NT for eevery Teles board. > but i doubt this setup will work because of timing differences in > the US. By "this setup", do you mean using a German NT? In any case, what timing differences do you mean?

Yes, that's correct. People seem to have problems understanding this one, so I'll go into a little more detail: Synchronous transmission is block oriented. Various techniques are used to recognize the beginning and end of the block, and all the data in a block are sent without any delay between the bits. When transmitting 8 bit bytes (octets), there's a ratio of 8 bits per octet, so 64 kbps becomes 8 kB/s. Asynchronous transmission is character oriented. Each character starts with a start bit, then come the data bits, then one or more stop bits. Nowadays there is only one stop bit, but that expands each byte to 10 bits. The advantage is that you don't need any specific timing between characters (thus the term asynchronous), so it's quite well suited to things like keyboard input. In sync transmission, each input character would have to be made into a block. The disadvantage is the significantly lower data rate. > A more interesting question might be 64k + 64k = 128k. 128k != 115.2k. Yes, this is where we came in. Currently, the driver can't do that. Somewhere in the back of my head I have a recollection that TCP can do it, though: you just set up two routes, and it should be able to pass packets down the route with the shorter output queue. Can anybody expand on this? Of course, 128k != 128k as well if one is sync and the other is async. 128k sync is 160k async.

I've got the EtherExpress Pro 10/100 board on a 10mb network. (The other isn't on an active LAN.) I haven't had *any* problems with it all. I'm doing NFS across the link, pretty big file transfers, etc., and haven't noticed any performance problems, and the machine is rock-solid.

Doesn't > this have to be taken into account? Yes, HDLC inserts a 0 bit after every 5 consecutive 1 bits in order to distinguish from a flag, which contains 6 '1' bits in a row. Theoretically we should take this into account, just as we should take the protocol overhead (headers, etc) into account. But that makes it very much more complicated, and in particular bit stuffing doesn't make much difference. The headers can, of course: looking at a simple 'ping', which by default sends 56 bytes of data and 8 bytes of information. The ICMP overhead adds 20 bytes, so if you're using raw IP over ISDN, you'll send 84 bytes, so the throughput of the line, viewed as payload data, drops from 48.7 kb/s. If you use PPP over ISDN, as the Americans love to do, you'll add another 8 bytes of overhead, making a packet of 92 bytes and dropping your effective throughput to 44.5 kb/s. Bundle two channels and connect via async at 115.2 kb/s, and your effective throughput is 64.11 kb/s--only fractionally more than the "raw" throughput of a single B channel. This is only one example, of course, with relatively short packets. Take 1500 byte packets and things don't look nearly as bad. You'll be using TCP with this size packet, which adds 40 bytes of headers, so the maximum data you can transfer is 1460 bytes. With transparent IP, you'll get 62.3 kb/s. Using PPP, it's hardly any worse at 62.0 kb/s. On the other hand, take keystrokes (1 character), and send them via TCP, and you give your 64 kb/s line an effective throughput of 195 bytes per second. Use PPP, and your overhead goes to 48 bytes, and your effective througput drops to 163 bytes per second. By comparison, the penalty due to bit stuffing is independent of the length of the packet: assuming a random distribution of data, you'll get 5 consecutive 1 bits once in 32 times, so it will add 1 bit every 192 bits, or about 0.52 overhead.

That is the correct syntax, but the password file has to be in the master.passwd style, not the passwd style (there are three extra fields - class, change and expire). The only fields that ls actually needs are name and uid, the rest can (should) be blank or garbage. The passwd(5) man page should have the format for the master.passwd file (10 colon separated fields). Also, you shouldn't need to be root (probably a good idea not to be, then you can't accidently wipe the actual password files). -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.

West (jlwest@tseinc.com) We are running FP extensions on our internal FreeBSD Apache server in order to accommodate the vi-challenged. FreeBSD 2.1.5-R or later is needed to run the MS setup and cgi binaries. It puts a few lines of gunk in the srm.conf file. Setup is a little nicer if you have X11 clients usable on your HTTP server and Win32 X11 server software running on the Microsquish boxes. I changed uid/gid of the http server daemon from nobody/nogroup to www/www and did chown -R www:www on anything the server needed. Seems to work - I never touch it, having enough keyboard machismo to deal with scary old vi.

Does Uncle Bill have an OS? An NT is a Network Terminator. Strictly speaking, at least according to my documentation, what I'm talking about is an NT2. It's basically the closest thing that ISDN has to a modem, but most people wouldn't see it that way: it's the interface between the T reference point, which connects between your premises and the central office, and the S reference point, which is what you connect your ISDN devices to. There's also an NT1 in the central office which interfaces between the T reference point and the U reference point, but since just about nobody ever sees them, the term NT has become popular to refer to an NT2. In Germany, people tend to call them NTBAs (Network Terminator f=FCr Basis-Anschlu=DF--how's that for a logical name?), since that's what's written on them. For all I know there's been a change of terminology since my reference books (which are based on the Blue Book) were printed. The term "reference point" needs some explaining. Typically, it's a cable (the T reference point is basically the incoming phone wire) or a bus (the S reference point is what the Germans sometimes call S0, when it's a BRI) to which you can connect multiple devices. The big difference between the T reference point and the S reference point is electrical rather than logical, so the NT2 mainly needs to provide relatively simple electrical conversions.

You should really create a new group for the web site, chown all the files in there to that group, and put that person in it rather than giving them root permissions (which is what you'd have to do to allow them to write to those directories). We do something similar with our anonymous ftp site. The maintainers are in the ftpadmin group and thus have full access, but everyone else can't touch it. > 3) My guest group is the group of every user in my server 2000-->normal > user.

Now (finally) the question is : Is > possible to have the second solution without the need to create for every > user the /home/username/bin directory ? I don't know on that one. There may be some special trick but you have to remember that the system forgets about everything above /home/username, so that becomes the effective /. Thus, they can't get to the /bin directory for ls. So I think you're stuck to providing everyone with their own ls.

Jim, You should be able to route the ip address you want to eliminate to localhost, thus excluding all traffic to and from the site. Something like: $ route add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 127.0.0.1 I'm not sure on the syntax, I'm in win95 now, but you get the idea.

AFAIK the 2940 probe works great in 2.1.5-R. The only machine under my auspices with a 2940 is running an older SNAP tho, but is working ok.

Change that, remove your 157 -> 127.0.0.1 route, and all should work properly.

You could run ipfw and deny packets to that machine on port 20. Or configure your router to do the same. A couple of the many possible options...

You'll want to fetch the beta server from ftp.xfree86.org. The modelines are the tricky part. Look in the mobile list archives for some hints.

This is quite common, especially on two-disk installations. Use DOS fdisk (from a bootable floppy) and reset the active partition to a partition on the first disk. Then it should work OK.

This is a very basic Unix question that everyone needs to know. But, trying to understand it by reading the man pages isn't so easy. Doug answered: > -rw-r--r-- 1 dwhite 1000 1893 Aug 28 20:05 upgrade-instructions > ^ > This is a regular file, with no symlinks or hard links. Doug knows what he's taking about, but his answer is a bit confusing. What he should have said is more like: It's a regular file with 1 hard link, but no extra hard links. The number is the number of hard links (i.e. names) the file has. On Unix, all the information about a file is stored in its inode -- expect it's name. File names are stored in the directories (which are like files themselves), along with the inode number of the file. This structure allows a single file (inode) to have multiple names (or in Unix terms - hard links). Files have 1 hard link when they are created. Other links can be created using the ln(1) command. A file with multiple hard links is really just one file with multiple names. None of the names are more valid or important than the others. For example, you can change the mode of the file using chmod(1) with any of it's names, and a file won't be removed until all it's hard links are removed. Before BSD, there was no rename() system call in Unix. Files were renamed by first creating a new hard link to the file and then removing the old link. The system call to remove a file isn't called delete() or remove(), it's called unlink(). There is no way to remove a file, all you can do is unlink it. It goes away only after the last hard link has been removed -- which is why the link count is stored in the inode -- and is shown with the -l option of ls. Symbolic links (a.k.a. symlinks/soft links) were added many years later by the BSD guys. Symlinks are the "correct" way to create a file name alias. Hard links, though simple and elegant, have far too many hidden side effects and limitations. Symlinks, unlike hard links, aren't just another name for the same file. A symlink is a special type of file which points to another file by name (not by inode number). Symbolic links are created using ln(1) with the -s option.

Never loose sight of the fact that if someone gets root in the chrooted environment, they have root on the whole machine. The chrooted environment does not lessen the implications of getting root, it only makes it harder to do so. If you have more than one user that needs this access and you want a seperate tree for each, remember that as long as you keep them on the same partition you can hard link the common files so you only need one copy of them on disk. Be careful with permissions in the chrooted environment to be sure the user can't write to what they aren't supposed to. One method if implementing the chrooted environment, if you have a seperate IP address for each client, is to use tcpd. for example, in your hosts.allow: telnetd@192.168.0.1 : \ .example.com : \ rfc931 : severity auth.info : \ twist = /usr/sbin/chroot /directory/to/chroot/to /usr/libexec/telnetd This says to use this entry only for telnetd on an interface with an IP address of 192.168.0.1. In some cases this works well, in others you need to actually do more work. Whatever you do, don't make a world executable setuid chroot binary available since that has the potential to allow a security compromise. As to what files you need, you quickly figure that out by what doesn't work. Some of the things include the passwd file (/etc/[s]pwd.db is the most important on FreeBSD), groups file (if you want numeric groups to be converted to names), shared libraries (if you don't make all binaries static), some of /dev but not too much. Exactly how much you need depends on your particular circumstances. Overall, this can be an effective method of implementing a virtual environment and increasing security. We are using it for both ftp and shell access and it works quite well.

FreeBSD is distributed under the terms of the Berkeley-style license. If you're interested in any particular part of the license, feel free to send us some mail. The license is not very restrictive.

Try moving the drive to the slave position on the primary controller. If that doesn't work, try some of the other available positions. I assume you're installing 2.1.5-RELEASE; if for some (twisted) reason you're installing 2.1.0 you'll need to use the atapi.flp image. This is included in the default boot.flp on 2.1.5.

Is the printer a HP with a JetDirect card? If so those have a lpd server built into the card -- all you have to do is plug in the proper printcap entry to forward prints to that machine. That's for the UNIX side at least. You will probably need to use the JetAdmin control panel (for windows PCs) to configure the Novell settings. The JetDirect cards are *very* flexible. Otherwise, I don't know. If it's a strictly Novell printer (ie, a regular printer hanging off a Novell print server) I don't know if we can interface to that or not.

You may be running into MD5 difficulties, I'm not sure on those. I seem to remember something about that from long ago. Check the mail archives on http://www.freebsd.org.

The Live Filesystem CD contains many system binaries and all the distributions extracted. Concievably you could link (using the 'lndir' utility) the entire /usr/src/sys tree to the CD, thus you could compile your kernel from the CDROM. It's rather handy for grabbing files that got squashed or corrupted. Just mount it like any other CDROM: mount /cdrom or mount -t cdrom /dev/your_cd_device /cdrom Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 1 17:06:09 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA19252 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 1 Nov 1996 17:06:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id RAA19238 for ; Fri, 1 Nov 1996 17:06:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id RAA05009; Fri, 1 Nov 1996 17:07:32 -0800 (PST) Date: Fri, 1 Nov 1996 17:07:32 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: "S(pork)" cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: lpr hole In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 30 Oct 1996, S(pork) wrote: > I recently found an exploit for lpr that will allow root access by anyone > with an account on the system.

This came up on PLP list. Apparently that is a long-known bug. If you use a replacement lpr (for example LPRng which I have here) it is more careful to not run as root and that can limit the damage.

I THINK this is how to do it. I've never done it myself, just seen it done several times: 1. Add an DNS MX record for the domain you want to use to the machine it should end up on. 2. Modify /etc/sendmail.cf's Cw line to add the new name. There are other ways, and they are probably better than my suggestion.

Actually, what is probably happening is that the rcp / rlogin is failing since you can't login as root directly from a network terminal. They aren't "secure" in ttys.

I have 32 IP addresses subnetted from a class C. I presently have the following setup: [ Internet ] <-------------------> Router <-------------------------> real & virtual servers ISDN xxx.xxx.xxx.97 ethernet xxx.xxx.xxx.98-126 I would like to add a firewall using TIS's fwtk (for telnet and ftp) and perhaps the CERN HTTP proxy server (or Apache 1.2 proxy when it is released). The network will then look like: ISDN ethernet ethernet [ Internet ] <-------> Router <--------> Firewall <--------> My machines Where I get confused is at the Firewall. My understanding is that the two network interfaces must be on separate subnets. How can I address the two interfaces on the firewall and still retain the maximum number of IP address for the rest of my machines? (I saw some mail in the archives about using private addresses between the router and firewall, but apparently this does not work with the proxy servers on the firewall). On a related question, just to make sure I understand this correctly; does the CERN proxy server reside on the firewall, instead of using fwtk's http-gw? Many thanks in advance.

You can copy and use it on many computers if you want, without any further restrictions. As a user you are very much home free, just use it within the bounds of the policy of the organization that you work for. FreeBSD is more free than Linux, so if you have a precedent of using Linux at work, FreeBSD is legally applicable in even more situations. The only encumberances that you might have, can be covered by having one CD per machine that you copy the code to. There are certain portions of the CD that are under the GPL. To be the most conservative, you have met practically every restriction of the GPL if you have a copy of the CD (source code) for every machine. The non-GPLed portions of the system (e.g. basic kernel) can be reproduced and placed into production, even into a proprietary product without redistribution restrictions. So, at a big company, like IBM, who have deep pockets, and are paranoid (appropriately so), if you have one copy of the CD per machine, and treat the copy of code like you would a piece of Microsoft software -- then you are very very safe. It is being overly conservative, but at only $20-$40 per copy, it is VERY VERY cheap insurance. (I am not trying to sell CDs, but simply trying to say that you can treat the software just like commercial software, and be totally safe.) You can then continue with your companies regular policies, and not have to special-case anything... However, if you can enlighten your legal dept, and mgmt, you will find that the license terms such as what FreeBSD has are very very liberal. Specifically, you don't really have to buy a copy of FreeBSD for every machine that is running it.

There is also a freebsd-security-notifications list that is a moderated low volume announcements list, but it doesn't get as much traffic as it should. As usual, to subscribe send mail to majordomo@freebsd.org with 'subscribe listname'. There is a fix for the lpr exploit, and other exploits in lpr. It has been added to the -current branch (latest development stuff; don't use unless you know what you are doing) and -stable (few changes from 2.1.5; important fixes like this make it into -stable). If you are concerned about things like this, and have room for a full source tree, it is probably worth keeping up to date with -stable with either CTM, sup or CVSup. I am including the lpr patch (against 2.1.5) below (it doesn't just fix the problem the script exploits, but also several others), but be warned that there are other holes that are just as bad, most of them fixed in -stable.

The NCR costs between 1/3 and 2/3 that of the 2940 with most of the perf. The 2940 is probably marginally better, but both of 'em are really good. (I am using an NCR and very happy with it.)

As root, edit the file /usr/share/tmac/troffrc, and somewhere near the top of that file put the command ".pl 10.5i" (I usually go a little smaller) that tells troff (and its friends) that a page is *not* 11 inches long, but only 10.5" instead. This ought to fix things up for you. -- keith.

What exact are the proposed IPX capabilities of FreeBSD? Or what phases will they be incorporated into the distribution? I'd like to see full capability down to file and printer sharing, but I know that most likely won't be incorporated all at once. I know that FreeBSD is bit more on the conservative side with respect to development (judging from reading the newsgroups) and doesn't take the "bite off more than we can chew" approach to development and incorporating features.

The languages have access to the postgres95 database and are very fast and reliable. Indeed, I am offering a Bank automation based in this tecnology. using COMPAQ servers running FreeBSD.

I You can probably hack this, but it won't be really easy to do. I did it once under 1.2.13, but I don't know how you'd do it to 2.0.x - a lot of the include files have changed. As I recall, it took 2 or 3 changes to various header files to make it work properly, and then a lot of recompilation. > have talked to alot of people about this and they say linux won't do it, I > was wondering if FreeBSD would ? I know ftp.cdrom.com has 1200 but not > sure if ftp is the same kinda connection as what im dealing with. I will Yes. We have our max connections on our IRC box set to 1200 + 100 local customers, and we hit 1220 for about an hour during the day. It handles it perfectly. (Our IRC admins say it's the best box they've ever dealt with for handling IRC). The only thing you'll really have to do is increase MAXUSERS in your kernel config file, and give the machine as many NMBCLUSTERS as you think you'll need. 8,192 seems to work well for us (it gobbles some memory, but ..) >From the kernel config file: machine "i386" cpu "I586_CPU" ident WIBBLE maxusers 64 options "NMBCLUSTERS=10240" # More network mbuf clusters One other thing we do on our IRC box that you might want to consider - we compile in IP firewalling and block off most of the IRC server to the world. With a machine that spends its eye in the public so much, it saves us a lot of potential headaches. IP firewalling under FreeBSD is relatively quick to configure.. use if if you switch over to FreeBSD. > probably get freebsd and try it out on another server before taking down > our irc server.

Best move we ever made. :) The biggest difference between the two seems to be about US$1000. I work for a small BSDI based ISP. I've got FreeBSD on one of my workstations. After seeing the two of them side by side for the past several months the decision has been made that our future unix boxes will be FreeBSD, and when upgrade time comes for the BSDI boxes they will be converted to FreeBSD. BSDI has, IMO, a better adduser/rmuser script, 16 character user names {PLEASE, let's not start beating on that horse carcass again.} and, .... hmmm that's all I can think of. FreeBSD supports more hardware, support for SMP is available, the ports and packages collections make adding apps a no brainer, better support, responsive developers, SKIP support, dozens of other things I can think of right now, and more fun overall. I compiled ncurses-1.9.9e on both FreeBSD and BSDI. The included test program fireworks displays in color on FreeBSD, the sysadmin is pouting 'cause it's monochrome on his BSDI box. :) Jack p.s. I almost forgot, BSDI's web site is really boring compared to ours. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Finger jacko@onyx.xtalwind.net or jack@xtalwind.net http://www.xtalwind.net/~jacko/pubpgp.html #include for my PGP key.

I need some help here I think. Something is not right, and I can't pin it down. I'll try and explain it. Firstly, let me say that "most" people have no problems connecting to my site. I know it's slow, but not that bad. I get on avereage between 1.5Kbps and 2.5Kbps throughput across my link. Either side of the link. The DNS is configured correctly, and passed all sanity checks. I have some some 20 years in the computer industry, and like to think I know what I am doing. This one has me foxed. Maybe it isn't even my site! BUT.... here's the tricky thing. You know how yahoo.com will do a sanity check on your server when you have filled in the "add url" page, and you click on "submit" ? ( if you don't, no point in reading further I guess ) If your site passes this check, the url is added to their db. If something goes wrong, it tells you as best it can, and fails to add your url to the db. well, I fill in the page and click on submit. If I leave the address in the submit page as www.chalmers.com.au, which is the FreeBSD server I have just recently got running, _yahoo wont complete_. The FreeBSD server is called ruby.chalmers.com.au, and www is a CNAME pointing to that server in the DNS. yahoo.com returns a "timeout" error. Even if I change the url to read ruby.chalmers.com.au, same thing. ok, next step. I change the address in the "submit url" page to show nanguo.chalmers.com.au, which is the original server I used for www, a SCO, note I call it "nanguo.chalmers.com.au", not www.chalmers.com.au, I click on the submit url button, and instantly it is accepted! Now, I've had lots of people suggest things to me. Most of which I'm told often anyway. But no one seems to be able to tell me why yahoo can't pass a sanity check to the FreeBSD server, and can to the SCO. Further to this, I have not had this problem with ANY other search engine? And I have only had one other complaint from a person telling me my site would only 'time out' when they connected. In that case, _they_ did not have their DNS configured correctly. So... has anyone experienced this sort of thing before? with yahoo? with anything? or anyone? Is there a guru out there who understands the mysteries of life, the universe and everything.... ta for any help, tanks bob -- The China House Sheng Huo Jiu Shi Dou Zheng robert@chalmers.com.au for Whirled Peas http://www.chalmers.com.au Location: Whitsunday Web Works. 21'7" S, 149'14" E.
