Can anybody help me or do you need more info? I've never done this and see multi-booting as a PITA, but then I can afford to throw a system together. Something is not right. Hard drives can have 4 primary partitions and the DOS extended is considered a primary partition, which can have any number of logical drives.

Logical? Logical drives are used in the DOS-extended partition and I can't recall hearing to them referred as that anywhere else. Are you using the DOS extended partition? >I also read (and hope I understood it correctly) that FBSD will try to >take the first area on my HD. Would that then move Dos/Windoze? What I am The MBR? No nothing will move, but the boot loader (I assume you use the OS2 one) would be wiped if you didn't check "none" for boot manager on the FBSD install. Never did OS2. >trying to do is put FBSD in the same area that the E partition was so that >OS/2 will still boot. Apparently this can't be done?? Maybe I read so >much I got totally confused. If so, my apologies to all for this posting. What seems to be confusing here is your reference to drives. Are there indeed, 3 physical drives ie C: D: E: or are you refering to partitions/slices.

The way the man page reads it does the / and then spawns and does the rest of the partitions that will be mounted in parallel.

I have (with lot's of help from the nice people on this list). determined that the reason I cannot make this work is that I don not have DES encryption on my FreeBSD boxes. I thought I did, but checking the handbook has shown me the error of my ways. So here is my dilemma, how do I convert an existing system to DES? I have downloaded the sources in 2.2-RELEASE/des and I see an install.sh there. Do I run this? Do I have o then do a make world? If so could someone give me some advice on this? I have never run this before. Is there some simpler way to do this? What about existing passwords? When how should I change them? I can see getting into a situation where I have converted the binaries on the system and locked myself out, since passwd always wants to verify the old password. Should I *shudder* delete all old passwords first? I have checked the FAQ and the Handbook without success for docs on this.

As a rule I avoid slow and large drives and generally only have 2 or 3 partitions, but you are correct about the latency involved. Considering that usually you have / and then swap and the /usr on the drive. Guess we are looking for "intelligent parallel fsck" then. In your case this would be greatly desired. Have you tried tinkering with the "maxparallel" flag or looked at the source? FBSD does fsck considerably faster than BSDi and that makes me wonder if it is as thorough.

Instead, it is on the soundblaster 16 IDE port on my CL soundblaster card. windows 95 detects it ok with the drivers i got with my soundcard. however, freebsd wont detect it. ive tried adding a device wcd0 and enabling the secondary ide (eventhough it not on it). is there any way i can get it detected while it is on my Soundblaster 16's IDE port? if not, do you know why my bios wont detect anything on my secondary IDE. i put the cdrom as a slave on my primary and one of the hard drives as a master on the secondary but it wasnt detected. it seems anything on the secondary IDE controller is ignored, so its hardly surprising that FreeBSD can get anything on it either. Therefore, the only way i can see my CDROM to be detected is to have it on the soundblaster. any help or advice would be much appreciated. thanks, David. -- ____ ___ ___ / __\____ / /______ _______ ____ / / ------------------------------- / / /__ \/ ___/ \/ / / \/ \/ ~\ David Mateer, Technical Support / / / / /__/ / / / / / / / / / TEL: 01232 666850 / FAX: 664665 / / / / / / / ___/ / / / ___/ / / E-MAIL: dmateer@gateweb.co.uk \____/\____/\____/\____/\_______/\____/\____/ ------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 30 08:31:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id IAA00478 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 08:31:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA00473 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 08:31:53 -0800 (PST) Received: (from nadav@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.7.5/8.6.12) id TAA23160; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 19:29:54 +0300 (IDT) Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 19:29:54 +0300 (IDT) From: Nadav Eiron To: jadeite cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: your mail 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 Sun, 30 Mar 1997, jadeite wrote: > what is the rule of thumb for configuring the sizes of the SWAP, /, and > /var filesystems? > what types of programs use the SWAP a lot? > > For / and /var, the rule of thumb depends on what you do. For /, you can probably get along with a couple of tens on MB. I usually put 20-40MB for /. For /var, it depends. What goes in there is normally the mail spool, logs from all your daemons and, if you have a news server, the news spool. News can take multiple GBs for /var. For the rest, it depends mainly on how much mail/logs you expect to have. If you have a web/ftp sites with hundreds of thousands of hits aday and you log it all, it can also sum up to handreds of MBs for a couple of weeks. Other then that there's very little that goes in there, so a small personal workstation can get along with ~16MB.

As far as I can see I'm doing as the accept() and select() man pages say, and the same as the ftp client does. I'm writing an Internet server, with a blocking socket. In two places though, I need to do a non-blocking read from it as it is reading from other clients at the same time. In the first, it is checking for a new client, so I am selecting on read (to check whether I can call accept() without blocking.) The other is similar, but the sockets are already open - it's just a normal select on read. Without the select, it works OK, but blocks until a client connects - as expected. With it, the select never returns 1 so it never gets to being able to accept the client. These are the relevant bits of code: struct fd_set sel; struct fd_set ready; struct timeval timezero; timezero.tv_sec = 0; timezero.tv_usec = 0; serverFd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, DEFAULT_PROTOCOL); FD_ZERO(&sel); FD_SET(serverFd, &sel); bind (serverFd, serverSockAddrPtr, serverLen); listen (serverFd, 2); while (1) { if (select(1, &sel, (struct fd_set *) 0, (struct fd_set *) 0, &timezero) == 1) { fprintf(stderr,"select OK\n"); newFd = accept (serverFd, clientSockAddrPtr, &clientLen); fprintf(stderr,"accept OK\n"); for(y=0;y } } Thanks, Michael. -- Michael Searle - searle@longacre.demon.co.uk From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 30 09:57:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA03761 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 09:57:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA03756 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 09:57:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from Pkrw.tcn.net (Pkrw.tcn.net [199.166.4.58]) by who.cdrom.com (8.8.5/8.6.11) with ESMTP id JAA11222 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 09:57:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (krw@localhost) by Pkrw.tcn.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA05466 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 12:55:30 -0500 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: Pkrw.tcn.net: krw owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 12:55:06 -0500 (EST) From: "Kenneth R.

I heard from some other FreeBSD users that my computer may be incompatible, which I have found out was untrue and FreeBSD should work on my without problems. Before and ever since that I have heard that, FreeBSD v2.1.7 has not installed on the system. It does load to a point and receive various errors: * missing files or permission denied while loading from the cd-rom's * missing kernel routines or distributions from the cd (filename.tgz files) * debugging mode not permitted to run on this version. * can not create user profile (when the install.txt file tells you need to create a profile for yourself) * system lock ups when loading FreeBSD v2.1.7 which errors stating that kernel has errors or damaged operating system. and so on witht the errors. I have spent the last 1-2 weeks trying to load this operating system which seems not want to load on my system. I remember reading on the web page that there is a 30-day money back guarantee, hassle free.

I then used the 420 as slave and am using it for FreeBSD and Linux! I got FreeBSD going and d/led what I thot I would 'need', but ran out of room at 200megs :( I at least got everything going, but guess I will start all over and either squeeze more room from the Linux area or get a smaller portion of FreeBSD. Thanks everybody for your help. What I see so far looks fantastic! BTW, don't know about anybody else, but when setting up the IP's, I left the Gateway and the IP address (lower box--"for this session") blank. That was the only way I could get connected from my local server. Dynamic PPP did the rest I assume.

My resources are very limited as far as hardware, but this old piece of junk has a good internet connection through university. I do not intend to use this system to compile anything, and I can even edit offline. There will never be more than one user logged on at once. I'm think I'm pretty clear on how to build a bare bones From: "Lenzi, Sergio" FreeBSD on a floppy??? Once I did it Supose you have a floppy with a ufs filesystem on it.. disklabel -r -w /dev/rfd0 fd1440 newfs -t2 -u 18 /dev/rfd0 tunefs -m 0 /dev/rfd0 mount /dev/fd0 /mnt mkdir /mnt/sbin /mnt/dev /mnt/etc 1) install the sources (the /usr/src directory) 2) use the crunchgen command (man crunchgen) to build an executable with everything you need inside like: ifconfig, route, netstat, pppd, sh, cp, cat, find, cpio... Name it binaries and install it on a /bin in the floppy using gzip gzip < binaries > /mnt/bin/binaries. 3) make the /dev directory on the floppy (cd floppy, sh /dev/MAKEDEV all). 4) build a small kernel with gzip binaries, pppd slip. and install it on the floppy. 5) create links for the binaries (ln -s binary cp; ln -s binary sh....) 6) copy the /sbin/init to the /mnt/sbin 7) create a etc/rc in the floppy... This is the startup file the system will use. Once booted, the system will execute the /etc/rc file... There you can setup anything you want using the commands in the /bin Hope this will help....

Maybe I read so > much I got totally confused. If so, my apologies to all for this posting. I don't know what you mean by the'first area'. FreeBSD could care less where it is on the disk, but your BIOS will. Some BIOSs can't boot any OSs that are beyond 1024 cylinders. > IF above is true about not installing FreeBSD, does anybody know if Linux > (sorry) would work? You'll probably run into the same problems no matter what OS you want to put on. For your situation, I think a new disk would suit you very nicely. I had a very similar setup to yours and found it a real trick to wedge a decent-sized FreeBSD slice between my DOS and OS/2 slices and still have enough room left for both on a 1gb disk. I bought a cheap 500mb disk at a local swap meet and dedicated it. That worked really well, until I filled it. :) 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 Sun Mar 30 11:58:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA09204 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 11:58:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from SNYBUFAA.CS.SNYBUF.EDU (SYSTEM@snybufaa.buffalostate.edu [136.183.34.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA09199 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 11:58:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from BUFFALOSTATE.EDU by BUFFALOSTATE.EDU (PMDF V5.1-5 #18385) id <01IH4904AL769FN5ME@BUFFALOSTATE.EDU> for questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 15:04:02 EST Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 15:04:02 -0500 (EST) From: Dave Hummel Subject: oops/sorry & ftp/webserver 386 To: questions@freebsd.org Message-id: <01IH4904AM5G9FN5ME@BUFFALOSTATE.EDU> X-VMS-To: in%"questions@freebsd.org" MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk My apologies, One wrong keystroke and *poof* my last email was sent before I could stop it.

Well, hm... stand is a bit of an exception. It's a big crunched file. Since you have the source, you could go into /usr/src/release/sysinstall, build sysinstall yourself, and run that.

So where then is the mess? For some reason the X included with 2.2.1 (which I think is symlinked from ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/XFree86) has the utmp patches, which plays hell with non-current systems. Someone needs to rebuild X again on a 2.2 system and not on a -CURRENT system.

The D is new and the interface changed slightly, so much that the zp driver won't work with it. Install the PAO distribution from http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO. It supports the D, or so I am told.

The disklabel editor in Sysinstall has an 'a'uto option that will give you some conservative numbers that may work for small/medium workstations. Power users like me need more :) /: Your root FS. Contains the kernel and basic system binaries and /tmp. I run mine at 50mb, which seems to work fine for everyday work. /var: Contains logs, mail spool, printer spool, etc. Should be big enough to hold this w/o filling. I run mine at 50mb. SWAP: Depends on usage. Equal size with memory is a good start, or if you don't have much RAM, then scale to 2x or 3x. If you plan on running XWindows then double that. With 32mb of RAM, I have a 100mb swap partition and use a small chunk of it. On the old disk, I had 16mb of RAM and 32mb of swap running X. I could fill it if I started up some really big mbone tools. I was swapping if I started an xterm, and that slowed things down quite a bit. The current config fits everything in RAM with a little spillover, depending on what I"m doing at the moment. > what types of programs use the SWAP a lot? Xwindows and associated programs will gobble up ram pretty quickly and force you to swap. Netscape and Xemacs are really bad.

I think these lines from /etc/hosts are relevant too, since I guess that the hostname assignment in sysconfig reads something from hosts. As you can see, I'm set up for dynamic IP address assignment. When I installed 2.1.1 via ftp, I think it set my hostname in sysconfig as 207.0.141.1, which is one of the DNS's of my ISP. In any case, the first boot gave me messages about being unable to find host--seemed to be expecting a network connection. Maybe what really messed things up was changing my hostname to alwan (email address=alwan@rma.edu). > > > > 127.0.0.1 localhost > > 10.0.0.1 alwan alwan OK, I guess. > > ######################### Start Of Netconfig Section ####################### > > > > # Set to the name of your host - this is pretty important! > > hostname=alwan This should probably be a full name (ie alwan.isp.com) even if it doesn't really exist.

This is breaking everything. Fix to this: network_interfaces="lo0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" Reboot and it should work better. Hope this helps.

Considering that I have the 2..1.6 bin & sbin files still installed here, to complete the security upgrade, would you recommend I recompile all of the /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin & /usr/sbin files? The 2.1.7 source code for these did get installed. A 'make world' I suppose?

You might ask them, they may have an idea. Also try disabling tcp extensions in /etc/sysconfig. There may be an Ascend in the way.

Looks like your disk is corrupted. get & make the fixit image, boot the install floppy, select 'fixit', and cross over to the fixit floppy. mount / and /var, then look at /var/log/messages and see if you can find any specific errors. What kind of disks are in this machine? Do you do 'shutdown' before shutting off the machine?

I was not aiming at anyone, just a general message, and this time I was somewhat answered/discovered. I work for a local software company and know how hard it is to write various programs, much less than an Operating System. It may be a great operating system, although not working for me on the system that I use. I write small applications for Windows 95/NT, and it takes great deal of time and effort to get it working properly. I do assist the users who use any of my programs (although these are specifically written for their needs). The only thing that I am attempting to do, is learn, use and gain knowledge of the operating system. If I *CAN* install this Operating System (OS), I will use it since I am wanting to move to a higher level of an OS. Its not a very popular OS as Windows 95/NT and finding someone with average to good knowledge is rare (at least for me right now). If I can get some help to install the OS, I will install it and use it, although currently it seems my battle is coming to an end, along with my frustrations. >Why don't you just call the people you ordered the cd from and get an >RMA?

I just got those binaries from ftp.xfree86.org and reinstalled X on my 2.2.1 system and rebooted. No change... I still couldn't run xdm because ld couldn't find libXmu.so.6.0 even though it was where it should have been, with world read permissions etc.. On an impulse I decided to copy the library to /usr/lib. xdm no longer barfed on libXmu.so.6.0, but on another, so I copied the other libs from /usr/X11R6/lib to /usr/lib. Now everything works!!! I guess my question is why this would work if ldconfig -r reports that /usr/X11R6/lib is one of the search directories in the first place? cheers, Carey Nairn From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 30 15:32:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA20726 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 15:32:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from stepahead.net (stepahead.net [205.161.119.233]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA20710 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 15:31:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (irq@localhost) by stepahead.net (8.8.5/8.8.4) with SMTP id SAA13135; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:32:06 -0500 Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:32:04 -0500 (EST) From: interrupt request To: Mark Knipfer cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD v2.1.7 In-Reply-To: <333ef57d.11015556@mail.choice.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 Do it anyway =================================================== interrupt request The Collective www.collective.org "We make the things that make communications free" On Sun, 30 Mar 1997, Mark Knipfer wrote: > On Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:24:07 -0500 (EST), you wrote: > > It detected all of the devices, otherwise I would have uninstalled the system > boards (scsi).

If you can give me network access to this box and about 600 spare MB (oh, and a CVS repository somewhere, either local or NFS :) I'll be happy to kick off a 2.1.x update.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

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.

This is the sense I get from netatalk, which is what the kernel hook is for. Please correct me if I am wrong tho. I know that cap can use this port. Ah. thanks. It may also be that people have gone to netatalk.

My best guess is that you have a problem with one of: 1) bad memory or too-fast memory timing 2) bad cache chip 3) EIDE not liking mode 4 Try slowing down the memory a notch or two and see if this has any effect on the problem. Also try temporarily disabling the external cache to see if this has any effect. Try setting your EIDE to mode 3 or auto. There are thousands of people with machines nearly identical to yours who have had no problems at all. This really does sound like bad memory. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 30 18:20:22 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA06269 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:20:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.sns.com (jack.sns.com [199.35.183.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id SAA06256 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:20:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from speedy by mail.sns.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #5) id m0wBWWZ-000Q2nC; Sun, 30 Mar 97 18:08 PST Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970330175952.0084f480@mail.sns.com> X-Sender: ludwigp@mail.sns.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:08:36 -0800 To: "Eporue.aCid.AiS" , support@freebsd.org From: Ludwig Pummer Subject: Re: Mounting a dos drive.

Yes, you need to increase either the "maxusers" number in your kernel config file (which which also give you more processes and a few other tables will be larger), or optionally add: options "NMBCLUSTERS=" ...where is a number between 1000-4000 depending on how much network activity (specifically, number of TCP connections) you have. Try 2000. You can see how close you are by looking at "netstat -m". The "mbuf clusters in use" is the important thing - the first number is the current amount and the second number is the peak since the system was started. You want the peak to always be less than about 2/3rds of NMBCLUSTERS (the extra third is just a margin of safety - you don't want to run out :-)). -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 30 18:52:44 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA08284 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:52:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from tahiti.choice.net (tahiti.choice.net [207.87.80.13]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id SAA08225 for ; Sun, 30 Mar 1997 18:51:49 -0800 (PST) Received: from port11-4.cvg.choice.net (port11-4.cvg.choice.net [207.87.81.108]) by tahiti.choice.net (ChoiceNet 513-688-8600) with SMTP id CAA00536; Mon, 31 Mar 1997 02:53:44 GMT From: adam@choice.net (Mark Knipfer) To: dg@root.com Cc: interrupt request , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD v2.1.7 Date: Sun, 30 Mar 1997 21:44:14 -0500 Organization: .

The EDO memory is at 60ns where it should be. The EIDE is detecting that I am using an Mode 4 hard drive, the controller is on the hard drive making the system read it as a mode 4 hard drive. I know there are others using FreeBSD on system similiar to mine, and not sure why I am having the problems. You can rule out memory, unless FreeBSD is not compatible with EDO memory.

(a stripped down system to the bare minimum), and it installed but nothing works. I logged into the system and that is about all I can do, then shutdown the system. I selected the Average User installation and it installed, but not commands work. Is FreeBSD v2.1.7 compatible with an USR Courier x2 external modem? Here is how I installed FreeBSD: * Boot up on a MSDOS 6.22 diskette accessing the cd-rom. I switched to the c: (cdrom) drive since the hard drive has no partitions on it and used the makeflp.bat to create a bootable diskette. * I rebooted the system and boot up on the diskette. I then select: (can't remember the exact steps) - Novice installation - Q - to quit by the hardware configuration - selected A for all of the hard drive for freebsd - selected Auto for it setting up the hard drive - selected average user installation - installed the os, created the user profile (selecting no on other options: web/ftp server/clients, etc) - logged into the system and that's about all I can do.

No crashes unless I make a stupid mistake on a kernel change. I run very evil system tests regularly. The major problems that I can imagine on my system are some VFS races (hard to fix, don't happen often, but existant), the sound card requires very careful setup, MSDOS FS has problems with FIPS re-partitioning in certain cases (except in releases before 2.2, where MSDOS FS shouldn't be used unless FS size is 511M or less), running out of swap space is problematical. In no case is the system generally "unstable" though. BTW, my machine has run Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, SCO Open Server, MACH/Lites, WinNT, Win95 just fine :-). I have NOT successfully installed UNIXWARE or Solaris 2.5.1 on my machine (and have tried.) My machine has also recently had an P5-166 Triton TP4N Asus MB, with no problems that an end user would normally incur. I am not saying that FreeBSD is problem free, but if it doesn't install on a fairly standard 486, P5 or P6 machine, there is likely at least a subtile hardware or config problem on the system. 386 machines are less likely to work well only because there is significantly less testing on that architecture now, and there is also more difference in VM code for that processor than the others.

I'm not exactly the same configuration, but FWIW I've got the dynamically-linked version of RealMedia Server 4.0b1 running on FreeBSD 2.1.7 stable. I believe the 4.0b1 server *is* available specifically for FreeBSD 2.2, so you might consider going with that release instead. BTW, mine installed first try and runs like a demon, literally. I'm a MacHead with no UNIX experience at all, but I came back from the RealMedia conference with everyone's glowing praise about the Linux and FreeBSD versions ringing in my ears, plus I was having such headaches with the Mac OS and Windows NT versions, so I thought I'd bite the bullet. After getting FreeBSD up and running from zero within three hours, I'm wondering why I waited so long. Plus I get Lynx, the world's fastest web browser, to boot! ;) --David Jokinen, Technical Director, Stylus Inc.

I seemed to have fixed this problem (for some reason I had disabled the "lo0" device in /etc/sysconfig) with Doug White's help (his message is on my Freebsd machine). Now sendmail is working, but my machine boots (Amnesiac). I can set the hostname logged in as root (all my passwords still work); then I invoke "newaliases" to rebulid the database (I've forgotten exactly why I do this--it was explained somewhere). When I reboot, the machine is (Amnesiac) again. In addition, user ppp doesn't work correctly anymore. It dials up and connects, switches to packet mode, and capitalizes (ppp >> PPP). But nothing is being routed-the connection is idle. I can successfully ping my own machine (ping 127.0.0.1) but not my ISP. I haven't specified a timeout, so the connection just stays up but idle until I close it. In addition, any program that needs a network connection (netscape, xemacs) will hang if I try to start it (in X windows). I've experimented with all kinds of configuration in hosts, ppp.conf, ppp.linkup, and sysconfig; no change. I've rebuilt the kernel twice (tun and lo0 are definitely there) and remade the tun0 device several times. User ppp dials up, connects, and idles. The machine boots (Amnesiac) every time. I didn't find anything useful in the archives or handbook. Any ideas? These problems follow a recent installation (from scratch) of 2.2.1., although everything but sendmail was working before.

If you answered 'no' to at least one of the above questions, you need to reinstall the boot manager. Many will do, but the simplest one is BootEasy which you install from *DOS* (not win95 DOS mode) by running the bootinst.exe program that is found in the tools directory on the CD and the ftp site.

Even in the most recent version this still is one of the steps that you are instructed to take. -- Second go to the mail archives ( you must do this with dos at this point because, ... well ...) and you search the archives. For me, this did not help at the time I was doing my settup. -- Third you search through the the world wide web to see if any ISP's have instructions to scripting for PPP in FreeBSD. ATT was one of the results which again instructs you to configure your tun device in the sysconfig file. -- By this time the frustration level is so high that you feel like a real loser and that maybe you have made a mistake with tackling this in the first place. Your ISP, when you question them are worried that you may bring down their system. So forthly you ask FreeBSD-Questions. I'm glad that you weren't answering your mail that week, because I would have probably formatted my partition and told anyone else that using UNIX is only suitable for 3rd or 4th year academics. In closing, I know as someone who is self-employed that a question from someone ignorant about your profession can often seem like something they should already know or should they should find out on their own. But I realize that some compassion is required because a person that is not afraid to ask a question in order to learn should be encouraged. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ **For Windows viewing set to System Font** @ ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º ÛßßßßßÜ ÜßßßßßÜ ÛÞÜ ÞÞ Û ßßßßßß ÛßßßßßÜ ÞÝ ÛÞÜ ÞÞ ÞÞÝ ÜßßßßßßÜ º º ÛÞßßßßÜÞ ÛÞßßßÝÛ ÛÞÞÝ ÞÞ Ý ßßÛÞßß ÛÞßßßÝÛ ÛÛ ÛÞÞÝ ÞÞ ÞÞÝ ÛÞßßßßÝÛ º º ÛÞ ÛÞ ÛÞ ÝÛ ÛÞ Û ÞÞ ß ÛÞ ÛÞÜÜÜÝÛ ÞÝÞÝ ÛÞ Û ÞÞ ÞÞÝ ÛÞ º º ÛÞ ÛÞ ÛÞ ÝÛ ÛÞ ÞÝÞÞ ÛÞ ÛÞÜÜÜÜß ÛÜÜÛ ÛÞ ÞÝÞÞ ÞÞÝ ÛÞ º º ÛÞÜÜÜÜßÞ ÛÞÜÜÜÝÛ ÛÞ ÛÞÞ ÛÞ ÛÞ ÞÝÜÜÞÝ ÛÞ ÛÞÞ ÞÞÝ ÛÞÜÜÜÜÝÛ º º ÛÜÜÜÜÜß ßÜÜÜÜÜß ÛÞ ÞÛÞ ÛÞ ÛÞ Û Û ÛÞ ÛÞ ÞÞÝ ßÜÜÜÜÜÜß º ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÑÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ º ùùùù---------==========ðððððPowered By FreeBSD http://www.freebsd.org º º Kevin G.

I've been generally happier with netatalk, it's a few times faster than CAP. I don't like that it doesn't have two-way password encryption and I don't know if it does native volumes though, guess I should go digging a bit. I suggest trying them both and using what you like best.

I personally prefer to build the boot floppy and boot from it rather than using fbsdboot to cross over from DOS, but it doesn't matter either way.

The best place, unfortunately, is to put the CD in the slave position on the primary controller, or alone on the secondary controller. It's been suggested to me to move your disk to the secondary controller and make the following modification to your kernel config. This will cause the least amount of fuss and should get your cd working. controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0x80ff80ff vector wdintr # one line disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr disk wd1 at wdc1 drive 0 disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 1 kernel root on wd1 What this does is reassign the master disk on the secondary controller device wd1, which your slave disk is now. Of course, make & install the kernel, then do the move, then restart. You may have to start the system using a boot floppy to get it booted; type wd(2,a)/kernel to start it. Hopefully you won't get the 'can't mount root' message when the kernel figures out what's going on. Hope this helps.

It worked on 2.2.0, but not 2.2.1. Strange. Make sure you are saving the file before quitting; vipw should then say it's rebuilding the password database.

The missing files are probably ports you need to install. If you can send me the exact error messages, I can tell you the corresponding missing files.

Where would this be on freefall? Yes. This little gem is my tribute to the upgrade procedure. FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist for 2.2: 1) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (including the kernel source, src/ssys!) and any you wish to add. [you'll just build & run sysconfig from single user mode] **WARNING!** Do **NOT** upgrade XFree86 at this time. The binary distributed with 2.2 is built for 3.0-CURRENT, which has longer usernames. It will corrupt your utmp file, which will cause w, who, and associated utils to give odd output. If you have dire need to upgrade, you will want to rebuild xdm and xterm, and probably the whole package, before using it. 2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade. 3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files for this release. . Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using the one in /etc/upgrade as a template. . Copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new features in sysconfig are used. Merge in any local changes, if necessary. If you are getting unusual messages from ipx, you forgot to do this. . Migrate other files as necessary. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy. > > > PS: I'm keeping a raft of notes re how to upgrade by just rebuilding > > > the world... so if anybody is interested, drop a line. > > > > A future tutorial? :) > > > > Could very well be.

You may be hitting some instability problems with old versions of user mode PPP. Try using kernel mode PPP or upgrading your version of FreeBSD.

Make sure that pseudo-device ppp 3 is in your kernel config, rebuild, then do /dev/MAKEDEV ppp0 Diffs of kernel configs aren't useful; it's just as long to post the real thing.

Take a look at this note in sysconfig: # Alternatively, /etc/start_if.${network_interface} is run if it exists. # This script can be used as an alternative to the ifconfig_ lines.

(i tried rc.local, rc*, inetd.conf) It's probably run from a rc.d script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.

Then extract the pieces you want by running 'tar xzf file' from /usr/X11R6. Or, re-run sysinstall (/stand/sysinstall).

You probably need to reinstall your bootblocks; check out the disklabel(8) man page and the -B option.

FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist for 2.2: 1) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (including the kernel source, src/ssys!) and any you wish to add. **WARNING!** Do **NOT** upgrade XFree86 at this time. The binary distributed with 2.2 is built for 3.0-CURRENT, which has longer usernames. It will corrupt your utmp file, which will cause w, who, and associated utils to give odd output. If you have dire need to upgrade, you will want to rebuild xdm and xterm, and probably the whole package, before using it. 2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade. 3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files for this release. . Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using the one in /etc/upgrade as a template. . Copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new features in sysconfig are used. Merge in any local changes, if necessary. If you are getting unusual messages from ipx, you forgot to do this. . Migrate other files as necessary. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

Please reply via email! Pretty much the same way you got to -GAMMA. FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist for 2.2: 1) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (including the kernel source, src/ssys!) and any you wish to add. **WARNING!** Do **NOT** upgrade XFree86 at this time. The binary distributed with 2.2 is built for 3.0-CURRENT, which has longer usernames. It will corrupt your utmp file, which will cause w, who, and associated utils to give odd output. If you have dire need to upgrade, you will want to rebuild xdm and xterm, and probably the whole package, before using it. 2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade. 3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files for this release. . Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using the one in /etc/upgrade as a template. . Copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new features in sysconfig are used. Merge in any local changes, if necessary. If you are getting unusual messages from ipx, you forgot to do this. . Migrate other files as necessary. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

Setting up a printer is not always a long process. If your printer does not support PostScript directly, just install apsfilter from the ports collection (see /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html for instructions on compiling from the ports collection).

Unfortunately, I ftp'd the 2.2.1 release directly into my bsd partition, instead of to a dos partition--so I can't reinstall without hours of downloading. I do have the 2.1.7 binaries on a dos partition. I wanted 2.2.1 for compatability with the oss soundcard driver from 4front, but I can't get it to work anyway. Why reinstall? Well, noticed a couple of wierd things. My home directory (/usr/home/michael) may be corrupted somehow: when I "ls" it the contents display as one column on the left. Only in this directory: subdirectories of /michael display correctly. I tried backing up /michael, deleting the directory and copying back; the same problem EVENTUALLY appears. (Is this because I'm dumping too much stuff into /michael--xemacs, netscape, big caches from netscape?). Maybe I should have deleted /home too. When I ftp'd 2.2.1, the installation did give me a host name--it was an internet address--I think it was the nameserver of my ISP, or maybe the dynamic adddress they assign me. In any case, the problem seem to have started after I changed this default hostname in sysconfig. Unless someone has another suggestion, I'm going to reformat the bsd partition and reinstall some distribution--maybe download 2.2.1 again. What fun!

Keep in mind that I do not program Java, I just want to support my users on the system who want to use java on our web server. We're running 2.2-release. 1) I installed the kaffe port via ftp. Is this what user would use to, for example, run a server-side jave script as a .cgi script? 2) I tried to install the jdk, but it is not listed on the menus when using sysinstall. So I went directly to the /usr/ports tree. Typing make in the jdk seemed to download the tar file (it's there in the distfiles directory). But "make", "make all", "make install" all just result in a "Checksum OK for JDK-1_0_2-solaris2-sparc.tar.Z." message. a) Why is it doing this? b) Is this because I installed kaffe? c) How do I get it to install? Thanks for any insight.

The previous emails in this thread are on the ball, I believe. Recently I have also joined the OSF-mangaers list. (Digital Unix) which has an incredible system, described at : http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/mailing-lists/Alpha-OSF-Managers/info.html But the main thing about it is this : [quote] 4.This list is intended to be a quick-turnaround troubleshooting aid for those who administer and manage Alpha AXP systems runnning Digital UNIX (formerly OSF/1). Its primary purpose is to provide the Alpha manager with a quick source of information for time-critical system management problems. 5.Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner and are not to be sent to the entire list. The person who originally asked the question has the responsibility of summarizing the answers and sending the entire summary back to the list. When a summary is sent back to the list, it should contain the word "SUMMARY" as the first word of the "Subject" line. [quote] This system works ! 1. It reduces traffic, much of which will only be relevant to the original sender. 2. The summaries provide excellent "lessons" from which to learn. 3. Writing summaries means that you really have to find a solution and demonstrate that you have learned (oops, bit like school again) 4. Checking the archives search engine is a lot easier. Probably as a result of this, the turn around time on the OSF-managers list is the fastest that I have ever seen. I don't know if this would be appropiate for the FBSD list but I do fear that I will have to unsubscribe again shortly and will probably miss some useful information..... due to traffic.

Exit using ZZ to save it, and it'll rebuild the database automatically, and make a new /etc/passwd file too (vipw edits /etc/master.passwd) Then, edit your /etc/groups file to remove all the references to the user. Finally, delete the user's home directory. I'm not sure whether the last 2 steps are necessary, but they shouldn't take too long anyway.

I dont see this being possible when I look at ccdconfig. Also the way sysinstall configured my disk they only have one track. I dont think I want my interleave factor to be 4 million blocks.

You can type :set wrapmargin? to find out the default value. If you would like this to be set everytime you start up vi, you call make a .exrc file in your home directory and that will be your default configuration. If you would like shortcut keys, you can type "map shortcut_keys sequence_of_commands" eg. map nw :set wrapmargin=0 Hope this helps.

How I can delete the user permanently? Never edit /etc/passwd or /etc/master.passwd directly; use vipw(8), which properly locks the password file and rebuilds /etc/passwd, /etc/pwd.db, and /etc/spwd.db after you are finished editing. To automate the task of removing a user, I have written a utility [rmuser(8)] that is included in FreeBSD 2.2 and later; for prior FreeBSD systems, you can pick up essentially the same script at ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/removeuser2.tar.gz Guy Helmer, Computer Science Grad Student, Iowa State - ghelmer@cs.iastate.edu http://www.cs.iastate.edu/~ghelmer From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 31 19:08:48 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA03004 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 31 Mar 1997 19:08:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from ntl-server.videosecrets.com ([208.202.29.57]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA02999 for ; Mon, 31 Mar 1997 19:08:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from marcus.videosecrets.com ([208.202.29.69]) by ntl-server.videosecrets.com (Netscape Mail Server v2.01) with SMTP id AAA312 for ; Mon, 31 Mar 1997 22:10:05 -0500 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970331220835.00df54f8@mail.videosecrets.com> X-Sender: marcus@mail.videosecrets.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Mon, 31 Mar 1997 22:08:36 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: marcus@videosecrets.com (D.

Is it just for packet altering, or can entire connections be redirected? For example, let's say I want some incomming connections to port 25 to be diverted to another "special" MTA running on another port (to deal with known spam sites "properly", for instance). Is it possible using divert and ipfw to do this? Or is divert pretty much only for dealing with raw IP packets that get injected back into the stream to end up at their intended destination? If divert sockets aren't capable of doing this, is there any other mechanism available to perform these kinds of tasks?

The device is called /etc/sysmouse if you are running moused.

If you were at post-install, then you can run /stand/sysinstall and select post-install or configure to get back to that menu.

Just install the packages cvsup and modula-3-lib. Instructions on how to create cvsupfiles should be provided.

There can be only *one* bootable FreeBSD slice on a disk. This is clearly reflected by the slice not being specified for the root partition (i.e. it is written as just wd0a and not wd0s4a). Perhaps some fancy software can hide the partition you don't need, but the best would be to get another disk for this. Note that it's just the root partition that matters, so you can take a second disk with just a little room left on it and put just the root partition on it.

Check the /usr/lib and /usr/include directories. If DES is installed on your system, the libdescrypt.a, libdescrypt_p.a, libdescrypt.so.2.0 libraries and des.h header file must be installed. You can also try : man des_crypt to see if the DES man pages are installed. Finally, you can try the bdes binary program. pbl From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 1 05:04:03 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA29865 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 1 Apr 1997 05:04:03 -0800 (PST) Received: from Campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE [137.226.116.240]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA29825 for ; Tue, 1 Apr 1997 05:03:58 -0800 (PST) Received: from gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de [137.226.31.2]) by Campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (RBI-Z-5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id PAA18900; Tue, 1 Apr 1997 15:04:05 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from kuku@localhost) by gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (8.8.5/8.6.9) id PAA01699; Tue, 1 Apr 1997 15:17:12 +0200 (MET DST) From: Christoph Kukulies Message-Id: <199704011317.PAA01699@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Subject: Re: How to tell if a system has DES installed In-Reply-To: <33410091.41C67EA6@dorotech.fr> from Patrice BLEUZE at "Apr 1, 97 12:33:21 pm" To: fritz!pbl@dorotech.fr (Patrice BLEUZE) Date: Tue, 1 Apr 1997 15:17:11 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: stanb@netcom.com, freebsd-questions@freebsd.com Reply-To: Christoph Kukulies X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL28 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Stan Brown wrote: > > > > I am wondering how to tell if a given FreeBSD has DES installed or > > not. > > > > Here is the situation.

Right. I understand that java applets for the browsers are served like any other file. I mean clients who want to *run* java programs *on* the server. For example, a cgi script written in java. You need a java compiler on the server for that, right?

I am sorry for the bad form since this is theoretically off topic but only hope that this will help the list in the long run. I think people have missed something. The responses are sent back to the questioner but then s/he must compile a summary and send it back to the list with the word {summary} in the subject. This is perfect for finding solutions and these summaries are sort of tutorials . (compact, concise, all in one rather than split over many emails.... and it is a good way to check if the questioner has understood things ok.) >> > > 5.Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner >>and are >> > > not to be sent to >> > > the entire list.

Yes, and you will still be able to see the answers, presented nicely in a compilation / summary of all the input from different people. (the summaries must be posted back to the list remember.) to quote again : 5.Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner and are not to be sent to the entire list. The person who originally asked the question has the responsibility of summarizing the answers and sending the entire summary back to the list. When a summary is sent back to the list, it should contain the word "SUMMARY" as the first word of the "Subject" line. >> > Ive also read the >> > answer to a question that I didnt have, only to find the answer to one I >> > did. True but there is sometimes so much traffic that i am sure that i am not the only one who deletes most of it unread. Whereas if there are summaries, you can read the answer - knowing that it is what works; rather than several possible answers. It also makes it easier to find stuff in the archive. >> I'll second this. You will seldom see me ask a question here, but you >> should see the pile of files from this list that I've saved on subjects >> of interest to me. I'm really learning a lot (though I still seem to >> know all too little). It serves as something of an ongoing tutorial. sure would be easier to just collect those nicely compiled summaries. And i too use those summaries as a form of tutorial. >> 5.Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner and are >> not to be sent to >> the entire list. The person who originally asked the question has > >The trouble with this is that many people need the same questions >answered. and could get the Summary very clearly from the archive. I don't feel extremely strong about this but merely sharing what I thought was a good feature of another list. >From my own experience , it works incredibly well and i have a book full of summaries on different topics... kind of like a "how do i.." archive. Compiling such information from the multiple posts, back and forth on a list would have been nigh on impossible for any one person.

Where can I get some firm information on this? (I mean the exact string to put after "tag=") I looked at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/sup, but this information is not there. I know this is pretty important, you can trash your whole src if it is not set properly! Actually I just found something. It is at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook239.html The page was last updated April 1st (today), and the reference to the 2.2 development line is: tag=RELENG_2_2 and to the release is: tag=RELENG_2_2_0_RELEASE So my question still remains: what do I use to get 2.2.1? I would assume it is tag=RELENG_2_2_1_RELEASE as Doug suggested above, but is it?

I need to configure a leased line Hayes modem. Until now I have: 1) Installed the built in modem and configured it in the Kernel. 2) Using `cu -l cuaa1' I successfully managed the modem and put it into leased line mode, then connected it to the remote. The link was established but only in the cu command. The remote is a ms-dos with a terminal program. I need help on how to make possible the remote to login.

What's the easiest way to do this? Promote your caching-only server to a primary server for your fictitious domain. If all your existing workstations point at the FreeBSD server, then this should be seamless to them. See http://www.isc.org/bog-4.9.4/bog.html or the book "DNS and Bind" from O'Reilly for setup instructions.

When the kernel boots up, I see the message that the kernel was able to recognize the device "psm0" (I infact put a printf in psmprobe() in psm.c to verify that the probe succeeded). However, if I tried cat'ing from /dev/psm0 or use that name in /etc/XF86Config and start the Xserver, it complains that the device /dev/psm0 is not configured. I made the device psm0 using the command "cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV psm0" and the major number is 21. I am lost here. I could add more printf's to psm.c to see why the open fails, but figured someone would already know the reason.

This happens pretty frequently. You'll need to tweak the address of the driver. See the FAQ and LINT for details. Also try upgrading FreeBSD. 2.0.5 is really old.

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 been experiencing problems installing HylaFAX 4.0pl1 on a FreeBSD 2.2.0-R system. The configure /bin/sh script generates makefiles based on information it gathers about the system on which it is run. The problem is that configure does not work properly on 2.2.0-R. Fer instance, there are two functions defined called CheckForLibrary() and CheckForIncludeFile() that attempt to compile small bits of code. These functions are called to determine whether or not the system supports SGI RGB images (among other things). configure generates a log file which clearly shows the compiles failing. Somehow, configure thinks it succeeds. I've done some sanity checking on 2.1.7-R. Everything is just peachy. I've searched the HylaFAX archives as well as the FreeBSD archives. It doesn't appear that this issue is being discussed. I've reproduced it on two different 2.2.0-R systems. I'm not a shell script guru but this one looks okay to me. Is /bin/sh behaving strangely? Or, perhaps make? I've included snippets of the configure shell script and corresponding logfile below. Ideas? Suggestions? btw: the tiff library required for HylaFAX has a similar configure shell script that behaves the same way. thanks, -scotto ---------->%snip>%---------- CheckForLibrary() { f=$1; shift libs="$@"; cat>t.c<t.c runMake t "t:; ${CCOMPILER} ${ENVOPTS} -E t.c" } if [ "$LIBIMAGE" = auto ]; then if CheckForLibrary iopen -limage && CheckForIncludeFile gl/image.h; then Note "Looks like there is support for SGI RGB images."

I traced it down a little (heavily relying on the Manpage :) it does nothing more that continually dividing the number (3135071790101768542287578439) by 256 and printing the reminders... # store letter 'q' in register a [q]sa # store command "ln0=aln256%Pln256/snlbx" in register b [ln0=aln256%Pln256/snlbx]sb # store number "3135071790101768542287578439" in register n 3135071790101768542287578439sn # load register b on stack and execute as command lbx # quit q While the command in "b" does: # load reg. a on stack, compare it with 0, if true execute reg. a (= quit) ln 0 =a # load reg. a on stack, do modulo 256 and Print this value ln 256 % P # load reg. a on stack, divide (integer) by 256 an store it in reg. n again ln 256 / sn # load reg. b on stack and execute as command (recursion) lbx So, so far for the difficult part, now why doesn't this work on FreeBSD ? it's the 'P' command of FreeBSD's dc on FreeBSD: echo '71Pq'|dc yields "71" on SunOS: echo '71Pq'|dc yields "G" from the SunOS manpage: P Interpret the top of the stack as an ASCII string, remove and print it. from the FreeBSD manpage: P Prints the value on the top of the stack, popping it off, and does not print a newline after. so they don't even claim to do the same.... The magic question is now, should this behavior be changed ?

You can't fit a decent system on a floppy. You can use the boot floppy and the auxiliary fixit floppy image to make a two-disk startup that will get you a few basics. Also check Handbook section 10.5.9.5 for making an emergency disk.

(Interestingly, it doesn't even have to start out as java -- theoretically, any language can be compiled with the JVM as a target. This has already been implemented for some languages.)

For slightly better control, pick up my nologin replacement program. It also disallows logins to the account, but will log a message each time a login attempt is made on a nologin account, so you can trace cracking attempts. See my web page, mentioned in the sig below, for more info. A man page for my nologin program is available as well. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Sounds like you don't have the cache of root servers properly configured.

When, because of telephone problems, Internet is not reachable, if I send mails over Internet using Eudora and qpopper, popper hangs. Probably it's sendmail that hangs waiting for the connection to the remote system. I would like to send all the mail to the popper box, without caring if Internet is up or down at the moment (the box should try later). Should I recompile qpopper adding some switches (send in background) to the sendmail exec or is there some other simpler way to do it?

Just noticed that vipw does this also. I dont supposed we could hide a system flag somewhere that say "DONT create a V7 passwd file unless I say so twice"? Off to source code land and crontab rm'ing.

Question 1 ----------------- I have two IP subnets on my LAN. The FBSD host is presently a member of one of these subnets. I want it to be reachable by hosts in the other subnet. I did the following: # ifconfig ep0 ep0: flags=8863 mtu 1500 inet 194.9.12.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 194.9.12.255 ether 00:00:c0:a3:5c:2d # ifconfig ep0 alias 10.1.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.255 At this point, I could ping 10.1.0.4 from the host itself, but not from other hosts on the 10.1.0.0 subnet. Next, I checked the arp cache. There was an entry there for 10.1.0.4 but it wasn't marked as published. I removed this entry and added it as a published entry: # arp -d 10.1.0.4 # arp -s 10.1.0.4 00:00:c0:a3:5c:2d pub Still no change in the situation. Next, I tried to delete the alias and start over. I typed: # ifconfig ep0 alias 10.1.0.4 delete Now, the network interface was completely frozen! I couldn't contact the machine using either 194.9.12.4 or 10.1.0.4. I had to reboot the machine. What am I doing wrong? Question 2 ----------------- The 10.0.0.0 network on my LAN is subnetted on a Class B boundary. The host above is in the 10.1.0.0 subnet. There is a router on the LAN which provides access to the other subnets (10.2.0.0, 10.3.0.0, etc.). Because, when setting an alias address, I must specify the netmask as 255.255.255.255, how does the FBSD box know that packets destined for another subnet (e.g. 10.2.0.0) must be forwarded to the router?

Under FreeBSD (on my 2.1.5) the dc is the GNU dc 0.2 version. If I remember well, there is a newer 0.3 version, included in the GNU bc package. Maybe it works well (if it is, this is the reason, why some Linux systems generate the xyz..., the others the Get life string.) Are there anybody, with the newer GNU bc who can try it? And another one: it reminds me to one of the winners of IOCCC, korn.c: main() { printf( &unix[ "\021%six\012\0" ], (unix) [ "have" ] + "fun" - 0x60 ); } Well, this cannot even compile on AIX systems - their ad's: The world's best UNIX! Of course, we can compile and run it on FreeBSD, and on most of the UNIX machines, I've tried (most of them were mainly SysV).

When I boot up single and do an fsck, fsck indicates no problems with the file systems. Should I try to use badsect or bad144 to tell the device driver to never use a part of the hard drive? Is this an unrecoverable error that means I should just go buy a replacement hard drive for my computer? Is there some table that defines what is being used or not used in the file store that I can manually tweak in order to convince the kernel that a part of the disk is in use? Perhaps create a large dummy file that is a superset of the bad part of the disk and then just never touch or move that file? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

It depends a lot on what the package does. ONes that are somewhat system intrusive will require porting. The best way to find out is to pull it, configure it for BSDi, NetBSD, or OpenBSD, and start fixing compile errors.

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 hope you can help.. I think I may have toated my freebsd box. I was working with some directions I got from some people at support@freebsd.org to setup a readable dos dir from my dos partition. It seemed to be working, anwyays.. I was tring to copy some files I had in my FTP dir to my dos dir when I started to get invalid argument messages. I then went to the dos dir and saw a bunch of garbage where I had tried to copy the files to. I made the dir rw so I tried to remove the files and it said it couldn't remove the files that were all character garbage. I then tried to reboot and I couldn't, even has root.. I got 'operation not permitted'.. So then I did a soft reboot and next thing I know.. my freebsd won't boot.. It gets as far as letting me hit f5 to start to boot.. I get the preboot menu, I hit enter then I get the line dosdrive=81..etc.. you know the one.. and then it locks up.. nothing.. I am stuck on this.. I have no idea if my freebsd is gone or what.. if i can repair whatever it was I did to it.. I have messed around with a boot disk tring to get back.. no luck.. does anyone got a suggestion? I really don't want to loose the setup I had.. took awhile to get it to where I liked it and everything was working.. -Gavin From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 2 11:51:56 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA19631 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 2 Apr 1997 11:51:56 -0800 (PST) Received: from sentry3.fon.sprintcorp.com (firewall-user@cerberus3.fon.sprintcorp.com [204.215.0.60]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA19625 for ; Wed, 2 Apr 1997 11:51:54 -0800 (PST) Received: by sentry3.fon.sprintcorp.com; id NAA28628; Wed, 2 Apr 1997 13:51:14 -0600 (CST) Received: from gumpertzrh.fon.sprintcorp.com(144.223.110.232) by sentry3.fon.sprintcorp.com via smap (3.2) id xma028585; Wed, 2 Apr 97 13:50:46 -0600 Message-ID: <3342B8AC.3BC0@cps.com> Date: Wed, 02 Apr 1997 13:51:08 -0600 From: "Richard H.

The LAN has IP #s 10.x.x.x. The FreeBSD server runs sendmail, popper, squid, and named (DNS). The FreeBSD server does not forward packets. DNS is setup to be primary for 10.x.x.x and caching for everything else. There is currently no firewall or tcpwrappers etc running on server. Most services have been disabled and only a few people have login accounts. Many more have POP accounts with no login shell and no login directory. What's the best way to keep outside people from using the DNS server on the FreeBSD host? We only want to be able to get mail via pop and send mail via smtp from outside.

If you start gdb with -wcore, then you can write OK. The "w" window option isn't documented with the --help flag. But then again, the "w" make core writable option isn't either, although wcore does show up in the list. Perhaps it would be better to use "-wk" for "writable kernel" (that's sort of mnemonic) in place of "-w". Any opinions ? Guess this should really be documented somewhere.

You might want to read a bit about securing your system before running off down this path. I recommend Rik Farrow's book, as well as the Simpson and Garfinkle book, as a minimum. Securing your system is far less obvious than you think, and you might as well benefit from what others have learned. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

If I start routed while this problem is occuring the it suddenly works correctly and D/L's everything. If I kill routed and then start fetchmail again then it works. I'm using ppp -auto -alias demand to start ppp from my rc.local file. I used to start fetchmail with fetchmail -ad 3600 from my .profile (I know this is probably no the best place to start this, but it works for me and this is my home system). One person that responded to my previous posting stated that most likely I did not have a route to the 'outside world' but the above shows that fetchmail was able to login to the remote server and determine the number of un-read messages. Also, I am able to surf the net using both my FBSD box w/ Netscape and Lynx prior to starting routed (I removed it from the /etc/sysconfig file and now start and kill it manually to get fetchmail to work) and my Win95 box through an eithernet connection into the FBSD box. I setup both ppp and the connection to the Win95 box following the instructions from the 'Pendantic ppp primer' in the tutorials section at www.freebsd.org. Any ideas?

Create a printcap entry for the REAL printer, called "cap," and for the pseudo-printer, called "lp." The lp if script mangles the input with text2ps and pipes it to lpr -Pcap, which gets it to the actual printer. You were close! ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Uh oh. :( When you mounted the DOS partition, you didn't by chance get the message: Warning: root is not a multiple of clustersize in length or something like that. You should have stopped immediately and not touched either partition. Unfortunately, you got bit by the bug. :( There isn't much we can do for you. You can try fetching the fixit floppy and rebuilding the disklabel, but if it hit the kernel then the damage may be fairly extensive. > want to loose the setup I had.. took awhile to get it to where I liked it > and everything was working..

The code will only see the last definition and do just that - your earlier definitions are ignored. In RELEASE-2.2 which I'm using there is a specific solution for your problem: Define ifconfig_ep0="inet 202.184.153.13 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_ep0_alias0="inet 202.184.153.5 netmask 255.255.255.255" Note: you do NOT specify the "alias" in the ifconfig_XXX_alias lines!

If you want to see what the "official" folks are doing to create new TLD's have a look at http://www.iahc.org. In fact, you should consider signing the gTLD Memorandum of Understanding since service providers are being invited to sign. Every organization that signs the MoU will have a seat on the Policy Advisory Board that will influence the future management of global generic TLD's. Note that eDNS has some TLD's that conflict with the IAHC list of 7 new TLD's. There is also another rogue outfit called namespace that also has TLD's which conflict with both eDNS and IAHC. > I only ask this question here because I wondered if FreeBSD intends > to add their root servers to the standard cache file distributed > with FreeBSD.

I'm about to install FreeBSD for the first time. I have the 2.1.6 CDROM, but I'm planning on ftp'ing the 2.2.1 release, and installing it. Since I have a Matrox Millenium, I'd really like to install the XFree3.2A release. Is this the version that was built incorrectly, or was XFree3.2 that was built against the wrong version? Would I be better off installing 2.1.6 and waiting until the smoke clears for 2.2.1? Should I install XFree 3.2 from scratch from the ports collection (and compile it myself), even though the performance is supposed to be much better for my graphics card in 3.2A? Thanks.

I have a gateway machine with 3 ether cards, one ether for the internet server network, one for the office network and one for the routers. I've compiled ip firewalling, and enabled ip forwarding/gatewaying via sysctl. I have setup a default "pass all" rule, then have the following : ipfw add xx pass tcp from any portnum to any And then I do an ipfw -a list to grab the packet accounting info. Now, the info returned is only for packets passing THROUGH the box, (ie between interfaces), not internal-network (ie between two machines on the same network)? Also, does it only log the packet passing THOUGH the box, and not going in one interface and out the other? Please CC the reply to me as I'm currently stuck at work and my normal list email feed goes to my box which isn't online atm.

Yep, as far as I know (unless, of course, you took it off, with say, tar for a backup and restored it later.. but you said "never updated.")

See the man page for 'clri' - it will clear an inode... it's a small program that you could easily modify to do something else if you wanted. The basic idea is that you run 'clri' on the inode in question (setting it to 0) and then fsck the file system to put everything in order. fsck will discover your cleared inode (if it makes sense for it to be something else) and properly repair things as best as could be. - Dave Rivers - > > (This is a follow-on to my earlier question about what to do if a bad spot > develops on an IDE hard drive.) > > Thanks in advance, > > Greg Johnson > johnson@nrtc.northrop.com > From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 3 04:21:28 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id EAA18897 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 3 Apr 1997 04:21:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from netcom6.netcom.com (stanb@netcom6.netcom.com [192.100.81.114]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id EAA18888 for ; Thu, 3 Apr 1997 04:21:24 -0800 (PST) Received: (from stanb@localhost) by netcom6.netcom.com (8.6.13/Netcom) id HAA04577; Thu, 3 Apr 1997 07:21:22 -0500 From: stanb@netcom.com (Stan Brown) Message-Id: <199704031221.HAA04577@netcom6.netcom.com> Subject: Still having problems installing cvsup To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.com (Free BSD Questions list) Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 07:21:22 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am still having problems installing cvsup from the ackages sustem. I have obtained and installed using the -f option both modula-3-lib-3.6 and modula-3-3.6. The lib package still complains about old versions of the shared libs being present. Unfortunately I can't fins any evidence of an old package in /var/db/pkg, so I can't make pkg_delete remove them. I have used the -f option to pkag_add for both of these packages, but when I try to install the cvsup package without the -f optio, I still get the warning about olde versions of shared libs in /usr/local/lib/m3/FreeBSD2. I did run ldconfig after installing the 2 modula packages. At this point in time the system has warned me about this multiple times, so I am relucatnat to use the -f option on the cvsup package.

Yeah. ipfw accounting just counts the IP packets on *this* machine.

I don't understand this question. The rule will count whatever it is told to. For example, you may specify a specific interface to do accounting/filtering for with the "via" keyword, or only packets going in a specific direction with the in/out keywords. ipfw merely follows the rules you give it... > > Please CC the reply to me as I'm currently stuck at work and my normal > list email feed goes to my box which isn't online atm. > > Thankyou, > > Adrian Chadd > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 3 05:23:12 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA22026 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 3 Apr 1997 05:23:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from out1.ibm.net (out1.ibm.net [165.87.194.252]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id FAA22021 for ; Thu, 3 Apr 1997 05:23:07 -0800 (PST) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by out1.ibm.net (8.6.9/8.6.9) id NAA18226; Thu, 3 Apr 1997 13:20:19 GMT Received: from slip129-37-195-172.nc.us.ibm.net(129.37.195.172) by out1.ibm.net via smap (V1.3mjr) id smaYAYCzR; Thu Apr 3 13:00:00 1997 Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.0 [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: Date: Thu, 03 Apr 1997 07:56:28 -0500 (EST) From: Burley To: Nabil Hassan Mustafa Subject: RE: Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On 03-Apr-97 Nabil Hassan Mustafa wrote: >I have looked at the FAQ and the Handbook but could not find the answer : > >After i copy an edited file from DOS to UNIX, through a mounted slice, the >text file gets certain endline characters '^M'.

The only purpose of the machine is for transferring email from/to that site and the internet through us (their ISP). The userid's are created on that machine on their end. Some of their users are PC's and use pc client software (Eudora, exchange, MSoft, etc) via POP3/SMNT. Others are terminal users who telnet to the machine and use a unix client package (Pine, elm, mail, etc.). They're using iijPPP to dial us and all is working well, but not timed as I wish. PPP is being started via 'ppp -auto providername' in /etc/rc.local. Sendmail is the MTA. Here's the problem: We wanted their system to call us every 20 minutes or so to send any outgoing mail and receive any incoming mail (via sendmail, BTW). When it calls we want it to send and/or receive, then immediately hangup. That's not what's happening. Periodically the system will call us at strange intervals, and stay on the line for about 1 hour before hanging up. There's no apparent traffic after the transfer, but the line stays up. I believe sendmail was started with 20m option. Question: The only possible way I could think of doing this is to not start iijppp with the -auto option, and not start sendmail at all. Then create a crontab entry for a script that runs every 20 minutes which first brings up iijppp, then starts a single run of sendmail, then stops ppp. There's got to be a better way of doing this. Any ideas? BTW - they don't use the connection for any other traffic web browsing, telnet, etc. - just mail. Thanks in advance! Jay West The Software Exchange, Inc.

The disk is on the second IDE controller (first controller has another disk and a CD which work just fine). The disk is found at boot time. sysinstall partitioned and sliced it OK. It mounts OK. I can even use it some. However, whenever it gets heavily used (e.g. a tar | tar for copying from the old disk to new), I get the following message: Apr 3 08:11:03 fatman /kernel: wd2s1d: wdstart: timeout waiting for DRQ writing fsbn 65676 of 65664-65679 (wd2s1 bn 3369917; cn 209 tn 195 sn 47)wd2: status 50 error 4 Or other messages of a similar nature (error 4 is sometimes another error). Is this disk bad? One idea I had was maybe thermal, as the disk works fine when I boot, but gets unhappy later. Is it too big and the BIOS getting in the way (there were warnings about old BIOSs in the disk docs)? This seems unlikely as FreeBSD seems to be able to access the whole thing. Thanks.

When I'm writing to the DOS partition with mcopy it's really fast (I think nearly 1 MB/s). An mdir is also very fast. So what can I do ? Is it a SCSI-problem ? I have an Adaptec 2940AU and all of my disks act the same...:-( By the way, I'm only using the msdosfs when reading DOS files.

When I first installed these I carefully listed all the sites we MX for and built an mxhosts file to be used in conjunction with check_relay. I then spent the next couple of days watching syslog for "no relay" messages sent in error and found several sites I had forgotten about cause they run their own nameservers. Once the initial setup is done it's pretty easy to maintain though, and it really pays off. It's no fun being postmaster at a site some sleaze bag uses as a SPAM relay and our rule sets have caught several attempts since we installed them.

The solution is: Boot and type -s at the boot prompt. This will open single user mode and start sh without having you enter a password. Then use vipw to delete the root password. You will have to "mount /usr" because vipw is in /usr/sbin. This will be uncomfortable, since there will be no local keyboard layout (if you need one) nor any PATH etc. set. But once you're through it, reboot, enter root (it won't even ask for a password, I remember) and use passwd to set a new passwd That should do it c u Jo From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 3 09:46:19 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA05187 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 3 Apr 1997 09:46:19 -0800 (PST) Received: from delos.stuttgart.netsurf.de (delos.stuttgart.netsurf.de [194.163.56.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA05175 for ; Thu, 3 Apr 1997 09:46:16 -0800 (PST) Received: by delos.stuttgart.netsurf.de (Smail3.1.29.1/delos.LF.net) via LF.net GmbH Internet Services from shire with smtp for freefall.freebsd.org id m0wCqZD-0000TqC; Thu, 3 Apr 97 19:44 WET DST Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 19:49:46 +0200 (MET DST) From: Joachim Kuebart X-Sender: joki@shire Reply-To: Joachim Kuebart To: Pierre Van Leeuwen cc: questions@freebsd.org, pvl@nanoteq.com Subject: Re: extended dos partitions In-Reply-To: <199704031053.MAA12388@oskar.nanoteq.co.za> 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 Thu, 3 Apr 1997, Pierre Van Leeuwen wrote: > Hi > > I've been running 2.2.1R for a few days now, and I still can't get > it to mount my extended dos partition ( I saved all my home > dirs there when I wiped 2.1.7R) I can mount the primary > on wd0s1.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just downloaded FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE onto floppies and installed it. I also got the appropriate version of XFree86. Very often, both in and out of the windowing system, I am getting very strange errors. Here are the ones I can remember: Segmentation fault Bus error Very occaisionally, the system just halts, and I have to do a cold reset. I have tried changing the wait states and bus speed from the BIOS, but nothing has worked. I think the problem is related to the installation of XF86, because before I installed it, this didn't happen. For example, before, one of the programs I have would say "Error: wrong file or version" when I gave it a bad input file. Now, FreeBSD kills it, saying "Bus error (core dumped)". Is there any way to uninstall XF86 so I can try reinstalling it? Also, are there any known problems like this with either FreeBSD 2.2 or XFree86 2.2? I have a IBM Blue Lightning motherboard with a 486sx chip, 8mb of RAM, one 3.5 and one 5.25 floppy drive, a CD-ROM drive, and a 540MB hard drive. The hard drive is partitioned into two DOS partitions and a FreeBSD partition, dual-booting with FreeBSD's loader.

My favourite NetWare clients are using following ethernet frame types: ethernet_II, ethernet_802.2, ethernet_802.3 (novell terminology). Novell treats the three frame types as entirely different logical networks. Even on the same network interface. Three questions: 1) Does fbsd 2.2.1 know another frame than ethernet_II? 2) May i use something like: ifconfig ep0 inet 193.84.224.1, ifconfig ep0 ipx 0x101 (0x101 is novell extern net address on some NetWare server for ipx packet encapsulated in ethernet_II), ifconfig ep0 0x102 alias (ethernet_802.2), ifconfig ep0 0x103 alias (ethernet_802.3)? 3) Does IPXrouted correct route such case?

We currently run on FBSD: 1 Shell/user www (was NetBSD 1.0) 1 DNS/mail/dialup auth/syslog (these two are sharing mail spool over NFS) 1 utility/backup/freebies 1 DNS/mail for seperate, wacky project 2 virt www servers (3 are still Linux) 2 co-locate www servers (www.firstview.com 3.6G/day, www.villagevoice.com) These have been the most trouble-free machines we've worked with. Some of the recent security problems were a bit tough (lots of cvsup-ing), but nothing compared to the nasty Slackware Linux Bug-o-the-month. The only reboots *any* of these machines have seen were intentional, which is something I just can't say about Linux. Performance is much better, and the "out of box" configuration is a lot more sensible than Slackware. A few of these machines really get beat on hard, and they just ask for more. We have to keep one Linux web server for compatibility with some odd sourceless C cgi's, but the other two will be history soon. Our news server is running Linux, but it's being replaced with a machine to be named "fridge" which will have 3 SCSI busses and 15 drives, and of course be running FBSD. I must say, this has made my job much easier. Linux is just too unpredictable when you don't have the time to play the "kernel-of-the-week" game. One of the Linux boxes still does the routine of freezing with no log entries or other hints; which is extremely frustrating. FBSD just seems like it was meant to be in a production environment...

The ESC has always taken a bit of time to respond. This is because the ESC character is used to escape special keys like arrow keys. You have to wait for a timeout before your single ESC is recognized. There might be a termcap variable that controls the timeout. You can speed things along by typing another ESC.

My favourite NetWare clients are using following ethernet frame types: ethernet_II, ethernet_802.2, ethernet_802.3 (novell terminology). Novell treats the three frame types as entirely different logical networks. Even on the same network interface. Three questions: 1) Does fbsd 2.2.1 know another frame than ethernet_II? 2) May i use something like: ifconfig ep0 inet 193.84.224.1, ifconfig ep0 ipx 0x101 (0x101 is novell extern net address on some NetWare server for ipx packet encapsulated in ethernet_II), ifconfig ep0 0x102 alias (ethernet_802.2), ifconfig ep0 0x103 alias (ethernet_802.3)? 3) Does IPXrouted correct route such case? Eg., three frames on the same interface.

I'll echo that. And for your programming pleasure, I installed 2.2.1 the other day and discovered a few .. problems.. with sysinstall: 1. Selecing Samba->User after installing caused infinite Sig11's. Restarted with persistent Cntl-Alt-Del's, so no post-install got done. The resultant system had users with *'d passwords. Had to use -s and passwd root to get anywhere. I think I selected to install samba. 2.

I think the problem may lie in my config file, which is in the attachment. But it also may not be in the config file. I install FreeBSD 2.1.5, and then downloaded the FreeBSD-stable 'bin' source trees, and also the FreeBSD-stable kernel source tree. It could be that I need to download something else in order to get it to compile...? Why does the make command give me the error 1 when it fails to compile some PCI stuff. I commented out the PCI bus support, so it shouldn't give me that error... ?

You can fix this somewhat by twiddling the 'kernel' line in your kernel config line.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've got a somewhat strange problem. My FreeBSD after a while just stopped finding my second IDE controller (wdc1) and (obviously) the CDROM on it. No matter what options I'm including in kernel I'm getting the wdc1 not found ... message. It did see it before though. But what is stranger still is that both DOS-Win95 AND FreeBSD installation floppy's kernel have no such problem at all. Is it some obscure hardware problem or am I merely stupid and there's an option that I've overlooked? It's begun even before, with 2.1.0-RELEASE I used before. I'm running now 2.2-RELEASE on Pentium-100 with 32 Mb RAM and Triton chipset (if this matter at all). And yes I've included both wdc0 and wdc1 and wcd0 and "option ATAPI" for IDE CDROM in config. file. Sorry if an answer is obvious and I AM being stupid. Oh, BTW, I've got an OPTI-930 soundcard. Does FreeBSD support it? And if so how I should configure kernel? Thanks for any help. Vladimir.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings fellow BSDers, I've inherited a small mail server that has recently started spewing out errors about full file systems and temporary write errors that has me baffled. The machine is running this version of FreeBSD, on a 486 system with a small IDE disk: bonkers: /kernel: FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE #0: Wed Jul 5 20:22:26 PDT 1995 All seems well, ie, mail flows in and out, but the console keeps displaying this message: Mar 31 19:22:16 bonkers /kernel: uid 0 on /: file system full Trying to process the mail queue gives: bonkers: {78} sendmail -q mail.local: temporary file write error The only thing I can see is that the "procfs" file system is 100% full. Where the heck is this thing defined? Could this be the source of the problem? Any suggestions on how to fix this? bonkers: {79} df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 24815 16201 6628 71% / /dev/wd0s1e 206323 123258 66559 65% /usr procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc I don't see anything in the disklabel that would indicate that "procfs" is real filesystem and the docs talk about it's function as related to tracking processes but not how or where it's defined, and how to "enlarge" it. extracted from /var/log/messages: -------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 31 19:22:16 bonkers /kernel: uid 0 on /: file system full Mar 31 19:28:51 bonkers /kernel: uid 0 on /: file system full Mar 31 19:28:51 bonkers syslogd: /var/log/maillog: No space left on device Mar 31 19:28:51 bonkers /kernel: uid 0 on /: file system full I'm in the process of building a new, larger machine but given everything else I have to do, that won't happen anytime soon, so I'm hoping this is a 'fixable' problem. All space on this tiny disk is allocated, so another idea I has would be to backup both filesystems with cpio, carve up a new disk and restore the existing system into a larger home. Is there any equivalent to SCO's emergency boot & root floppies, or do I have to try to cook up my own? Any and all comments, tips, suggestions would be appreciated.

You need more space for /tmp and /var, which is currently on your root filesystem. Probably the best thing to do would be to move /var to your /usr filesystem and create a symlink from /var to /usr/var.

Performance is much better, and I don't know what they did with 2.2.1 because the Byte Benchmark gave me this results (I will only print the average): Linux 2.0.18 (generic kernel from RedHat Linux 4.0)........ 10.5 FreeBSD 2.2.1 (generic kernel)............................. 12.9 FreeBSD 2.1.5 ('personalized' kernel)...................... 6.8 It's great... My FreeBSD box it's much faster than a Linux one! :-) About reboots in FreeBSD they are only intencional because this is the best OS of the world! But one I forced it to crash: 2 or 3 make worlds (I don't remember) and a make world in the X11R6 tree while cracking 1000 passwords at the same time! > We have to keep one Linux web server for compatibility with some odd > sourceless C cgi's, but the other two will be history soon.

Linux is! i.e. FreeBSD is Unix(r) One more thing: Some days ago I forced FreeBSD to use 78 MB of swap while I was using 3 console windows, 2 xterms and a ghostview and it responded blindly. :-) With Linux I would have to wait for the things that were being moved from and out of swap. I am considering upgrading from 16MB to 32MB of RAM... I thing that FreeBSD will get much faster because it will use plenty of cache and buffers.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello! (I apologize if there's a better forum for this question, but I've searched the handbook, FAQ, and mailing list archives without being able to find a satisfactory answer.) What is the status of rpc.lockd in 2.2-RELEASE? I've noticed that the daemon actually exists in /usr/sbin, but its invocation is commented out of /etc/rc with the following note: # Warning: rpc.lockd is broken. # Only uncomment this line if the consequences are fully understood. I'd uncomment the invocation, but unfortunately I don't fully understand the consequences as I can't find an explanation of what exactly is broken. Can someone help me, or at point me in the right direction, please? >From what I've gathered from the freebsd-questions archives, it looks like there was a "dummy" rpc.lockd in earlier version of FreeBSD that would accept lock requests, but not really do any locking. Is this still the case? The reason I'm asking: at my site we have a number of machines mounting /var/mail over NFS, in our case from an Indy acting as a mail hub. IRIX's rpc.lockd seems to do the job, as so far we haven't had any problems with corrupted mail spools -- although this may simply be good fortune at work. :-} I'd love to replace the Indy with a FreeBSD box, but I don't want to risk jeopardizing the mail spools. In the case that there's no working version of rpc.lockd available for FreeBSD, does anyone know if there are versions for {Net,Open}BSD that might be easily ported?

I choose FreeBSD after a search though several FAQS and such because it seemed to be what I needed. I purchased the FreeBSD CDs from Walnut Creek. I must say the FIPS program worked to perfection. I was able to divide my DOS disk into two partitions with no loss of data. Then, I started to load FreeBSD onto the new slice, but I immediately got a "No CDROM Detected" message. I read the docs (yes, I always try to read docs). In fact, I was following the install procedure directly from the manual that came with the disks. I tried several different flavors of install and nothing seemed to work. I still got the "No CD ROM" message. I stopped my install, logged onto the Net, and began reading all the FAQs I could find on the topic. I discovered, only now, a week later, that I cannot use my CD ROM with FreeBSD! I own a Mitsumi FX001D controlled by a Sound Blaster card rather than a separate controller. From what I read, it seems that FreeBSD cannot get through the Soundblaster to control the CD Drive. So, how do I get Free BSD loaded on my machine? I noted in the manual that I can dump files to a DOS partition, then load them from there, but I did not see much in the way of instruction on that project. That, however, would be a less than optimal solution because I would still have a computer with no CD ROM capability. Of course, I suppose I could always buy a new CD Drive, but that would be an expensive proposition just to load a "free" OS. I most certainly appreciate any help you can offer me (a rank newbie). Even if it's just a link to some FAQ or other file I can download and read through. Again, I'm not afraid to read a manual and follow directions there. Thanks. --George Two men looked from between prison bars. One saw dust, the other saw stars.

If you do NOT istall BootEasy on the hard disk then tehere will be no F1 DOS, F2 BSD display. If you already installed BootEasy, boot DOS and try "fdisk /mbr". This has been an undocumented feature for years, it rewrites the Master Boot Record, and the DOS bootstrapper will be reinstalled. The activate the DOS partition using fdisk, and DOS should boot normally. After that, to boot FreeBSD insert the fixit.flp and type what you presumed above...

I don't know (I have 2.1.5 now), but maybe there is a newer version of vi in 2.2. Type :ver, and see it. In 2.1.5, it's a very-very old 1.34 (from '94) version in it, maybe in 2.2, it's a newer. If I remember well, in newer nvi's (1.7x ?), there is a new handling of the timeout. In 1.34, it's only :set timeout/:set notimeout, but it may changed. Oopps! I've found, that :set keytime=X may interested in you.

Should this not work then I recommend downloading it over the internet. If you can connect this machine to the internet then download the boot floppy and install over the internet, this will take time (takes me about 6 hours over a dialup modem) and you'll need help probably connecting to your isp. And as an old VMS user (ok not that old :-) ) you'll find the experience very rewarding. Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au On Fri, 4 Apr 1997, George R.

I must say the FIPS program worked to perfection. I was able to divide my DOS disk into two partitions with no loss of data. Then, I started to load FreeBSD onto the new slice, but I immediately got a "No CDROM Detected" message. I read the docs (yes, I always try to read docs). In fact, I was following the install procedure directly from the manual that came with the disks. I tried several different flavors of install and nothing seemed to work.

I discovered, only now, a week later, that I cannot use my CD ROM with FreeBSD! I own a Mitsumi FX001D controlled by a Sound Blaster card rather than a separate controller.

If you exit out of X periodically, and most of the swap usage is freed -- that will show that the problem is insufficient swap. On a heavily loaded X based system, you can need 100MB or more!!!

You can either go with a "transparent" proxy solution like socks that requires a socks complient client (most popular clients have socks support). soccks is available in the ports/packages collection. Second way is to set up specific application proxies. This way you need a specific application for each protocol you need to pass through the firewall. The added benefit is mainly caching, and better control. For some of those, look at the fwtk (also in the ports). The third is indeed to do IP Masquerading. This is a bit tough, but can be set up with IPfilter. > Does gated help?

Please, try a little bit shorter lines! Thanks! > I stopped my install, logged onto the Net, and began reading all the FAQs I could find on the topic. I discovered, only now, a week later, that I cannot use my CD ROM with FreeBSD! I own a Mitsumi FX001D controlled by a Sound Blaster card rather than a separate controller. From what I read, it seems that FreeBSD cannot get through the Soundblaster to control the CD Drive. Hmm. I think, it's an old model, which is not ATAPI, but use it's own proprietary interface. If it is, you may use it. (And you can use it on a SB-card - I have a Sony proprietary CD-ROM drive, and use it on a SB16-card.) 1) Put the CD into the drive before boot. 2) after the boot prompt, type: -c -> you will be in the hardware selection menu. 3) delete everything, which is not on your machine 4) Look, and CORRECT the values for the mcd driver! I think, you need that. 5) etc. If it's an ATAPI CD, I don't know anything about it.

I installed Caldera's OpenDOS to replace an existing version of it. I knew it would ruin Windows NT's bootstrapper, but I thought that as earlier I can correct it by the 'repair Windows NT' in the WinNT install or simply saving the C: partition's bootsector and, after the install replacing the original bootsector to its original place. I chose the second way. After doing it, the NT couldn't boot, because of "incorrect boot device". Then I tried to boot both of the BSD's (Openstep and FreeBSD) but they couldn't boot, too, and it seems like, that FreeBSD has lost its disklabel infromation (I tried to fix it with the FreeBSD boot/fixit disks, but I didn't succeed, I even couldn't mount the DOS partition). I use a FreeBSD RELEASE-2.1.5. The harddisk is a QUANTUM BigFoot 2.5G HD, with three partitions, the first is a DOS/VFAT partition for OpenDOS/Windows NT, the second is for FreeBSD, there are / (root), /usr, /var (FreeBSD) partititions in it, the third is for OpenStep. I'd be very thankful if anyone could help me.

You could try this by typing "startx > startx.out" or "xinit > xinit.out" respectively. However, if you cant reboot using the three finger salute but only via the Reset button, it is likely that the file system won't get flushed and you never get those files. In this case, you will have to copy the screen contents by hand and send it to this list or (preferably) xfree86@xfree86.org so we (or they) know what exactly is going on. If you don't see any output, maybe X has already switched your screen to another console. Try the Alt-F1 etc. combinations to see if you can get back to the console you started X from... c u Jo ---------- > Von: Justin Wolf > An: Justin Wolf > Cc: 'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org' > Betreff: RE: X-Server hard crashes when started > Datum: Freitag, 4.

I think you're confused because it often called caching, when really it's just read/write buffering. Under FreeBSD it's handled by nfsiod and is usually automatically launched.

For example, if the line from top(1) looked like this: Mem: 35M Active, 2464K Inact, 13M Wired, 9900K Cache, 7276K Buf, 1024K Free I really would have 2464K+9900K+7276K+1024K == 20664K free, right?

I've written a perl script that adds users to our billing database and also to the password file using "adduser -batch..."--this seems to work fine so I imagine the same thing could be implemented via CGI without a problem.

Which http server are you running? Are you sure it runs as root and doesn't revert to a non-priviledged user? Are you sure you want an http server running as root? What we do is have the form create a file in /usr/local/newusers with all the required info and have a cron job running every 10 minutes that checks for files in this directory and creates the users from them. To keep from storing a cleartext password, crypt it yourself in the cgi and then sed /etc/master.passwd and run pwd_mkdb after adduser is done.

The NFS client machine is running 2.2-GAMMA and the server is running 2.2.1. Whenever, the client machine attempts to create/modify a large number of files on a partiition mounted from the server, it hangs. I've tried specifying -r=1024 and -w=1024 on the "mount" command line (as suggested in the FreeBSD handbook), but this makes no difference - I don't think that these network cards should need the above options anyway. Has anyone else experienced such a problem with the 2.2.1-Release. If not, I'll try upgrading the client machine to 2.2.1. If so, are there any fixes available?

Some of the directories were protected with an htpasswd file, where passwords had been encrypted with FreeBSD's MD5 crypt routines. It goes without saying that they didn't work when they got transferred to the Linux box. So, is there an available script to convert from MD5 to DES, or can someone give me hints on writing one? Or, am I just going to have to re-input all of these passwords manually? Any help would be much appreciated. Sorry if my cryptographic ignorance is showing...

Really depends on what you want the connection to do. Using ethernet? serial port? modem? To login to my FreeBSD systems from my Macintoshs I use NCSA Telenet and MacTCP. Nothing special is needed on the FreeBSD end. ^Telnet^ (I really ought to get better at Mail/mailx thru telnet if I continue to spell like this) Add FreePPP to the above for modem/serial line use. You'll have to do a bit of configuring on the FreeBSD side for ppp or pppd (your choice). If you want your FreeBSD system to be an equal peer on the Mac network (the above was making the Mac conform to TCP/IP) then you need FreeBSD 2.2 or newer with NETATALK compiled into the kernel. And the external components for netatalk (start at http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/) to make a fileserver, printserver, and timeserver, out of your FreeBSD system. Netatalk requires ethernet. Eudora Lite (http://www.eudora.com/) is an excellent free Mac email client. Add popper from FreeBSD's ports collection to make a server out of your FreeBSD system. -- 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.

Thanks for the hint David. Incidently, the npx0 flags is a kludge. We don't yet have a way of toggling generic kernel flags in userconfig, so instead Bruce is using the unused flags on npx0 (which is a required device). This behavior will go away at some point... -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 4 17:31:33 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA14679 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 4 Apr 1997 17:31:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from kevin.sunshine.net ([204.191.205.83]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA14673 for ; Fri, 4 Apr 1997 17:31:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (root@localhost) by kevin.sunshine.net (8.8.5/8.8.3) with SMTP id RAA00220 for ; Fri, 4 Apr 1997 17:24:14 -0800 (PST) Date: Fri, 4 Apr 1997 17:24:11 -0800 (PST) From: Kevin Eliuk Reply-To: Kevin Eliuk To: FreeBSD-questions Subject: Grabbing files.

I use LILO or the IBM OS Loader to boot from the SCSI drive. At this point, I get the FreeBSD boot prompt. If I press enter, it boots the kernel, and then it fails to mount the / partition, because it thinks it is on sd3a, where in fact it is on sd1a To get it to work, I have to enter: 3:sd(1,a) at the boot prompt. The question is: why does it get confused about the ID of the disk it booted from (it think it booted from sd(3,a) ), and how can I modify something so that it will do the right thing without me having to enter '3:sd(1,a)' at the boot prompt every time I want to boot ? PS: I have the same problem with NetBSD... PS2: the machine has an ASUS P55T2P4 motherboard with an NCR SCSI conroler (and SCSI BIOS).

You can use vipw and blank the password field, or/then use passwd as passwd user to change a specific user's password.

How restrictive do you want to be? Unfortunately it's very difficult to separate junkmail from real mail, so you either have to do some IP filtering or wholesale disable sendmail. You might check the sendmail documentation at http://www.sendmail.org/ for hints.

You could try using pcvt. I've never had to do that. It's possible you card isn't exactly supported. You might try asking xfree86@xfree86.org and see what the state of the driver is. Or check the documentation.

Is it possible to use one of these drives? Well, I can't guarantee it'll work, but there is a new improved floppy tape driver. The original only supported QIC-40 & QIC-80. You can try the 'lft' driver, available at ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/incoming/lft.tgz. NO GUARANTEES THIS WILL WORK WITH YOUR TAPE! They are highly propietary.

This was an SVGA monitor and VGA16 driver. However, after looking at the logs, I realized that what was happening is that the init code thought that all the modes were invalid and "deleted" them (see repaste of log below). Then tried to switch to the lowest resolution (which was not non-existent). Thinking that perhaps the accelerated setup might have more luck, I tried this (XF32_P9000). This works fine. (I also entered the exat parameters for my NEC 3D monitor.) So, I don't know exactly which part of the server was killing the OS, but by making it use a more complex setup, it seems to work much better. Maybe someone else could try starting the XServer on an accelerated system (or even a P9000) with the same LCD (lowest common denominator) settings and see what happens. Now I've got other problems... look in the other threads from me to see. :) -Justin (repaste of log (note, this is from a startx init, not the xdm-errors file)) XFree86 Version 3.2 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6100) Release Date: Oct 26 1996 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.

I have an AHA2940 with a Seagate SCSI drive and a Seagate IDE drive. When I enable the IDE drive in the BIOS, (after BS-OS to boot off the SCSI) the kernel panics because it can't mount / on sd1. Fair enough recompile the kernel to mount root on sd1 and it fails again. Vexing. I even tryed changing the fstab to reflect sd1. Failed again. I have heard that it is possible to force the IDE to slave using the cable select option, is this the only solution? If so could a kind soul point me to the instructions for wiring a cable select bus cable? Basically i would like to boot the SCSI as my primary and the use a boot manager to get at the IDE for Windoze.

If you don't have the GENERIC file anymore, tell me and I'll send it to you. Then if the new kernel can find wdc1, do an option-by-option upgrade of the GENERIC kernel config file to your current setup and check after every single option if the problem arises. I know this is annoying, but it's definitely a strategic way to find the problem (logic is the foudation of function :-).

I have been making backups by mounting the whole machine over NFS (actually using amd) to an HP 735 with a HP DAT tape drive.

In IDE & SCSI systems, the bootblocks get confused with both in place and can't quite determine where it is from the BIOS. So it guesses, and usually gets it wrong. There isn't much we can do for you. You can try to rebuild the bootblocks to default to sd1a, but I don't know how to do that. The code is in /usr/mdec.

This is very useful when |more'ing output of a program that takes long to run and has a line-by-line-output, because you can see the output before the program is finished. But it also creates the problem that more doesnt know the length of the file it's getting piped and thus can't show a percentage. When you press p (the key to display percentage info) more says "Don't know length of file" - which can't be helped. With less, you can scroll to the end of the file, then set the prompt style to medium and you will have percentage info. Thus, sometimes less can be more :-) (It's old, I know, but I like it) c u Jo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD Top breeders recommend it Joachim Kuebart ---------- > Von: put your name here > An: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Betreff: getting stdin in more > Datum: Freitag, 4.

I'm running 3.0-current w/ smail (not running in daemon mode) and fetchmail. This machine is configured as a gateway for 1 Lose95 client. I have ppp on-demand setup and working. Thanks to the help I received from other users, fetchmail now works correctly w/o routed so ppp on-demand now works on-demand instead of keeping up a permanent connection :). Here's my current problem/?: My ISP will forward all email in the form of @bsampley.vip.best.com to my email account. I would like to setup a userid on my system as a 'mailbox' for the Lose95 client in the form of @bsampley.best.com. How do I get smail/fetchmail to sort/deliver incoming email to the correct userid? One thing that might complicate this is I also have an email account at CSUH which fetchmail convenient retrieves. Presently all email received by fetchmail is delivered to burton@bsampley.vip.best regardless of who the email is addressed to. I tried adding -mda "/usr/libexec/mail.local %s" in my .fetchmailrc file but that didn't work. I tried copying my .fetchmailrc file into the root directory and running fetchmail as root, but it has the same effect (when fetchmail is started in an xterm window w/su to root).

And all the BIOSes I know of can only boot primary partitions (that's those there's at most four of..) from the Primary IDE's master disk. Too bad :-( But, if you install a minimal partition with a BSD boot-strapper on it you might be able to boot the kernel from your second disk. However, this is not guaranteed to work (this mailing list has been full of those questions during the past few days) Some people seem to be running FreeBSD on their secondary SCSI drives, maybe they could give you more info (I assume, however, you are talking IDE ?) To install FreeBSD you need the disk images in order to boot FreeBSD for the first time. Then, if you have an internet connection (like over a LAN card) you can install directly from a ftp site and the install program will do everything for you. Thus, boot.flp and fixit.flp (just in case... ;-) are the only files you have to download yourself. Hope that helps. c u Jo On 05-Apr-97 V-Vega wrote: >Hi....I currently run Windows 95 as my sole OS.

As far as I know, and from what I've been told, you can install on a second hard drive. I plan to be doing it myself pretty soon. You need to download the boot.flp image, and use rawrite or fdimage.exe (found in the tools subdir) to put the image on a floppy, boot from the floppy, and follow the instructions from there. Theoretically, you can install the files from a DOS partition, in which case I think the files have to be in \freebsd. For instance, bin.?? are in \freebsd\bin, manpages.?? in \freebsd\manpages, ... Theoretically, that should work, but I've never been able to get it to work. The other option is to copy all the dist. files necessary onto floppies, about 6 to a floppy, and put them in the appropriate subdirs (a:\bin\bin.aa, a:\manpages\manpages.aa, ...) Say you were putting on the bin and manpages dist. On the first floppy, in the \bin dir, put bin.inf and bin.aa-ae or af, depending on how many fit (should be through af). On the last disk containing bin files, also make a \manpages dir, which contains at the very least manpages.inf, and as many of the manpages.?? files as possible. Then ,go on to more disks to get the rest of the manpages.?? files. If you were installing more dists, then you follow the same procedure, making the the last disk of one set contains the .inf file for the next set. I think I used about 25 disks for bin, doc, info, games, and manpages. Hope it helps!! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good. FreeBSD is our friend.

Only "important" machines, and certian "public" machines get listed (about 300 systems last time I looked). They *do* have a database of IP addresses (just the numbers) assigned, to who, room number, telephone, and what kind of system is attached. All (that I know of) company machines that are allowed to pass thru the routers onto the internet are listed in the DNS. Few of the internal machines behind the firewall are listed. Everybody has real IP addresses. Reading the DNS & Bind nutshell book failed to provide an example of what I'm wanting to do. Their examples presumed one had permission to establish a secondary server. And hints updates may flow both directions. If my DNS database got sucked back into the primary there would be a lot of screaming. I don't know enough about it (yet) to know if my concerns are valid or not. Don't particularly care for the company DNS to log errors of any attempts either. Once I have my underground DNS running I'd like to build a web interface to let anybody register any unclaimed name to any IP address automatically. Don't think I'd let it automatically cancel a "registered" entry. Initially will use email requests, http later. Once its running I don't intend to be shy about its presence. Not going to make friends this way with The Powers That Be, but this sillyness has gone on for too many years. First step probably should be to establish a "caching only" server, then modify upon that? Any advise?

By rights, I should have 88M total swap with these two partitions, but top was reporting it as 133M total. Presumably as a consequence, my processes kept on dying with signal 10 and 11 (I'm assuming this is what hapened when they tried to enter the phantom swap-space). I've removed the first swapon entry from fstab and it seems to be working fine so far. My questions are these: a) How did this happen? b) What can I do to fix it?

The system default is in something like /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit or .../X11/config, and should be 2 filese; system.xinitrc and system.twmrc, or something like that; it'll vary. just change the entry at the end of system.xinitrc (you'll need to be root and change the permissions to change the file) from something like 'exec twm' to 'exec fvwm' or whatever path fvwm might be in. you'll probably need a .fvwmrc file in your home dir which has your fvwm init settings, but the window manager is run aht the end of .xinitrc.
