This time is simply the time taken up by the probes for the non-existing devices on the second EIDE channel. The cure is simply to remove from your kernel config the drives you don't have (wd3 for example). I'm not sure that you may remove both wd2 and wd3, but you can try. There's also some parameter somewhere in the source files that allows you to adjust the timeout value for IDE devices. I'm not sure where it is or what it's called (you can look up LINT, but I don't think it's there), but a search of the hackers archive should turn up that info. > > Another problem, when the kernel gets to initializing my scsi zip drive, > this happens, > > sd0(aic0:5:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB > and, > sd0 could not mode sense (4).

This seems to be a FAQ (Frequently Asked Question). Unfortunately, it seems to seems to also be a NAQ (Never Answered Question).

I love FreeBSD :) ) CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX don't even affect this parameter; the systemwide maximum number of files 2 * (20 + 16 * maxusers), where maxusers is in your kernel config file. See /sys/compile/*/param.c for the details. You can change this particular parameter on the fly though. First see how many open files you already have; pstat -T will tell you how many how many files open and maximum you have in your system: 241/3240 files (in my case.) If you want to raise the limit at runtime, as root run "sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=8192" or whatever (you can put this in rc.local if you don't want to recompile the kernel). I was talking on IRC a few days ago with someone runing a web server, and he had maxfiles set at 16424 (i.e. maxusers=512) with no problems. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 3 10:28:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA03944 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Aug 1997 10:28:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from hoflink.com (root@hoflink.com [199.173.65.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA03937 for ; Sun, 3 Aug 1997 10:28:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mikeg ([199.173.65.110]) by hoflink.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id NAA22363 for ; Sun, 3 Aug 1997 13:32:25 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <33E4BF95.2E67209F@hoflink.com> Date: Sun, 03 Aug 1997 13:27:49 -0400 From: Michael Graziano Reply-To: mikeg@hoflink.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Unknown Route to Host error (FTP) X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Still having problems with the FTP and Email system, I've checked the network interface and it seems fine, also checked the connection to my ISP, that seems to work too.

It may have been fixed in 2.2.x but I don't see the version number in Nadav's reply... It indicates that fips has shrunk the partition size of a FAT filesystem past a cluster size boundary without reducing the corresponding cluster size. When mounting this partition data loss _will_ occur during files operations. Again, check the archives, there's been a lot of discussion on this.

What we didn't count on was the number of http requests this would generate. The site is hosted on a Pentium Pro 200 machine with 64 meg RAM running Apache 1.2.0 and FreeBSD 2.1.7. The chat script was a custom perl script that we contracted out to have written. We didn't anticipate the number of hits that this would generate. Within the first minute the server crashed. Now, we have been asked if we can fix the problem and have another chat that will work. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this?

In this situation the kernel can get confused as to where the root location is. You'll need to temporarily move your FreeBSD disk onto your primary IDE channel (port 0) so you can start it and build a new kernel. Then follow these instructions. If you get the message: panic: Cannot mount root At the end of the probe sequence you should either: 1. Have the line: config kernel root on wd2 in your kernel config, OR: 2. Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other parameters unchanged). Hope this helps.

At one point cu forks into two processes, one that watches input and the other that watches output.

Is it even possible without buying tons of expensive equipment? I have a solution for you, are you familiar with Internet Relay Chat (IRC)? I can help you set up an IRC server with a java client interface that runs on 90-plus% of the browsers out there. This takes the chat overhead completely away from httpd, and is very stable. The only thing httpd would have to do is provide the starting point, and download for the java client. In addition, your listeners who already have IRC software can bypass the httpd altogether if you choose. This is a "commercial" solution, but very reasonably priced. Mail me privately for more information. Doug The man who fears nothing, loves nothing.

Perhaps you should read the docs? Anyhow "pstat -T" will tell you the system wide number of open files, and the maximum possible number of open files. pstat is pretty standard command in Unix (it does the same thing under SunOS 4.1 for example). You need to increase maxusers in your kernel to increase the system wide maximum number of files. This too is pretty standard on many differnet Unix systems. MAX_OPEN sets the maximum number of files per user-id.

The chip on the board is marked as "33c296a". I doubt it. There is support for the WD 7000, which I believe is an ISA card.

I believe this is in the Handbook. 1. /dev/MAKEDEV vty8 (maybe 7, doesn't hurt to have extras) 2. Modify /etc/ttys and make gettys for ttyv4 & ttyv5 3. kill -1 1 to start the new gettys. You may have to rebuild your kernel to get extra consoles, but I'm sure the default is 16.

Ouch. :( When you're this big and have an online event, you have to be ready for everyone in the US to hit you at once.

The Perl script should be as minimal as possible. Each hit will spin off a copy of the script and that builds up fast. More memory will head off the inevitable, however. 2. It may be necessary to tune some of the kernel parameters to accomodate a high number of http hits. I suggest asking in hackers@freebsd.org, our kernel developer's list. They should be able to suggest some parameters to tune before your next trial.

One, there are two -stables, one for the 2.1 branch and anothe for 2.2. You probably fetched the 2.1-STABLE branch. why it hosed rc.conf is beyond me -- it _shouldn't_ touch anything unless you misconfigured it.

The "custom perl script" could cause a huge number of problems if it isn't written efficiently. You have nowhere near enough RAM. RAM is cheap. 128 or 256 megs would be a start. Be sure to increase MaxClients in your Apache setup to an appropriate level; what is appropriate depends on the machine, the amount of RAM, the CGI scripts running, etc. If you go above a MaxClients of 256, you need to increase HARD_SERVER_LIMIT in httpd.h and recompile. Increase MaxRequestsPerChild to at least a few hundred, and increase MaxSpareServers to 40 or 50 and MinSpareServers to at least 20. If you go above 64 meg of RAM, you need to compile your kernel with the right MAXMEM option to tell it how much you have, eg: options MAXMEM="(256*1024)" Some of the other parameters you may want could include: maxusers 256 options "CHILD_MAX=1024" options "OPEN_MAX=1024" options "NMBCLUSTERS=4096" When under heavy load, you have to look at what is happening to see where things are slowing down. It may be appropriate to look into moving the CGI script into something that can be done with mod_perl or mod_fastcgi to stop you from having to fork a new process for each script. Depending on how important this is to you, you may want to hire an outside consultant with appropriate expertise to examine what is happening on your system and adjust things properly.

As I recall I changed root's shell once (to tcsh) and got into a bit of trouble.....I would like to know if root's shell can indeed be set to anything. If it's set to something that's not available when the machine boots in single user mode, I think there's potential for difficulty.

I have Jaz drives on both machines, so that seemed like the perfect solution. Unfortunately, Linux's UFS support is lame (besides, it's read-only), and since I need long filenames (and FreeBSD does not support Win95, aka VFAT), that option is out as well. Browsing through my kernel config file (based on LINT), I notice there is an option for "EXT2FS"... Aha! This sounds like just the thing. So I compiled a kernel with it, formatted a Jaz cartridge and mke2fs'd it on my Linux box, and mounted it on my FreeBSD machine. So far so good... But I have a question: How "stable" is the e2fs support? Is it buggy, has it crashed, etc? Also, there is no "fsck" program for ext2, and the standard /sbin/fsck doesn't know about ext2fs... Is there one for FreeBSD I should grab and compile, or can I use the Linux "e2fsck" binary? (I have linux binary support enabled) Please respond by email ASAP. Thank you!

I love FreeBSD :) ) There are five limiting factors on the number of open files which a process can have: 1) There is a "soft" limit, which can be seen an raised with the csh "limit" command or the sh "ulimit" command. This is a soft quota. 2) There is a "hard soft" limit, which is set at login time and may be modified via the login.conf mechanism. This limit prevents you from raising the "soft" limit above a set maximum. 3) There is a "hard" limit, which is set at kernel compilation time, and limits the number of open files which may be placed in the per process open file table. 4) There is a "hard system" limit, which is set at kernel compilation time, and limits the number of files which may be placed in the system open file table and referred to by all process open file tables for all process simultaneously running on the system. 5) Available kernel memory for the file structures, vnodes, in core inodes, process open file table, and file buffers. It used to be that the only limits were 4 and 5. Unfortunately, a number of broken shells, like "bash", open all the files they can in order to get the last descriptor they can for use by the shell, so that shell scripts can be run without descriptor conflicts (the correct way for these shells to operate is to use a reference to a descriptor instead of a descriptor, and "dup2" the descriptor one higher each time a conflict arises; but these programs are written by students). AIX had similar problems, where "bash" (and other offenders) would open tens of thousands of files, until the per process open file table for the starting "bash" would consume all available kernel memory. Now there are quotas. #4 is about the only thing that can't be gotten rid of, once you get rid of "bash" and similar programs built-in "denial of service" attacks. It has to remain, so that it is possible to directly reference the system open file table from kmem to allow things like identd to operate (identd is needed for anal security configurations using firewall software that denies or allows on the basis of "user@host" rather than merely "host"). Identd doesn't work (or didn't work; it may have been repaired in a new release) on AIX because of this. For #5, you can always buy more RAM. To answer your question: you must increase all of these values, and if you are using select, #define FD_SETSIZE higher in your application before including .

It depends on who's dropping carrier. If you're getting a long idle time, you might try doing 'set timeout 0' before dropping into 'term' to disable the idle timeout.

My advice: do not use /stand/sysinstall when you can avoid it. Frankly, I do not know a maintenance task that could not be accomplished without using sysinstall. Perhaps you can give me an example? Addind/deleting packages, setting time zone, adding parts of the source tree - all that is easily done without sysinstall. -- Victor Sudakov http://www.tomsk.su/r/persons/vas.htm From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 3 14:37:46 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA19586 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Aug 1997 14:37:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts8-line11.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.75]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA19579 for ; Sun, 3 Aug 1997 14:37:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA05060; Sun, 3 Aug 1997 14:36:51 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 3 Aug 1997 14:36:50 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Raul Zighelboim cc: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: List active ?

FreeBSD doesn't support the raw device size ioctl, so the ext2fsck needs to be slightly modified. Sorry that I haven't gotten to it, and it hasn't been an extremely high priority... But, for transient copying of file structures, etc it works fine. I have even run Linux binaries from a mounted Linux root filesystem -- but again I would'nt use it in a critical production ISP situation or the like. I'll leave a copy of the e2fs tools (essentially the same as the Linux ones on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/e2.cpio.gz ) They are incomplete, and might not work (I have no EXT2FS partitions to play with right now.) It'll take a few hours before it will appear.

There is a problem with the clusterlength guessing code in the msdosfs code if you used FIPS on the filesystem. If you didn't, you should be OK. Just umount it if you get the warning: root is not a multiple of clustersize in length message.

No. It was sent as user 'kat' from mailhost.1stfamily.com. The @freebsd.org was stuck on by hub when it came through it's sendmail without a domain. This was used as a avoidance tactic.

You need a persistant program, rather than reading and writing files for every request. This can be achieved either by using FCGI for the chat script (I did a 200 line chat room in FCGI/Perl that was decent once), or by setting up a server process that the CGI processes talk to. There's a third option, but it produces a chat room that feels different than the other two. What kind of chat room are you looking for?

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

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.

Well, I'm sorry to report that I added a new disk the other day, using my own book of course, and I had the devil's own job getting it done. The problem is that the values reported by the various utilities are frequently all different. In an update to my book (posted every Monday on this list), I said 'use the value returned by fdisk'. I'm beginning to think that this isn't always the case. I'm still actively working on this topic. In any case, I have now taken a look at Doug White's tutorial (http://resnet.uoregon.edu/dwhite/makedisk.html), which explains how to use sysinstall to do the job. Have you seen this tutorial? If so, what problems did you have with it? If not, it could be that you would have had more success with this method. Does anybody else have any comments on the relative usability of the two methods?

But while you're at it, why not use tcsh? It's like csh but has some added enhancements, like arrow-key recall of commands and the ability to edit those commands (correct a typo). It is also easier to set up your prompt with tcsh, and to get it to change when you su to root. This would be a three-step process: 1) Install the shell (as a port or a package). This you do as root. The handbook contains a detailed description of installing the bash shell. 2) Edit /etc/shells as root to make the new shell an allowed one. The new shell will have been installed in /usr/local/bin. You have to get the path and the spelling right. 3) Change the user's shell. The tcsh shell will read the configuration file for the csh shell (.cshrc in the user's home directory) unless you create a .tcshrc file, which you can do by copy .cshrc. It will also read .login (as does csh) and the system-wide initialization files in /etc for csh, where you put anything you want to apply to all users. If this isn't clear let me know; I'm about to add something like the above to the guide for new users at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/newuser/newuser.html, so your comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for the great answer Terry, Cliff and ahem... Jordan :-) In any case, the sysctl settings worked great, messed with login.conf some as well, and the #define FD_SETSIZE works great.... except with... mit-pthreads. mit-pthreads is puking everytime I try to set the FD_SETSIZE (yes, before ), and even when I go into the pthreads source and try to change that version of FD_SETSIZE, it's still puking at a value of 1024. At 256 it works fine. Any ideas?

When two shareable objects which contain a global variable with the same name are loaded, in freebsd the global variable is shared by the objects and in (sunos, solaris, linux) the variable is private for each separate object. for example, if the two following objects int global=0; try0() { int local=0; global++; local++; printf("try0 global=%d local=%d\n",global,local); } --------------------------------------------------- int global=0; try1() { int local=0; global++; local++; printf("try1 global=%d local=%d\n",global,local); } are loaded with dlopen and dlsym and called as: try0();try1(); their output is FreeBSD try0 global=0 local=0 try1 global=1 local=0 sunos,solaris,linux try0 global=0 local=0 try1 global=0 local=0 As I said before, in bsd the global variable is shared while in other OSs it is not. Can someone tell me why? Is there a way to get bsd to conform to the other OSs (because of inter-operability concerns)? Thanks in advance, Livio Ricciulli.

First, you need to be sure your configuration files for Apache are properly done and that the cgi-bin directory is enabled for access and execution. See http://www.apache.org for instructions. Second, you need to be sure the permissions are set to 775 on the cgi-bin directory and the perl scripts. These are server-related questions, rather than FreeBSD-related, and so I suggest that you join the HTML Writers' Guild (which is free), and subscribe to their 'servers' list. There are many readers (including myself) who will be glad to coach you. Check out http://www.hwg.org. If I had my browser set up for it, I might even try it in Russian, though your English is certainly better than my Russian! Also, my reading of these lists indicates that there are a number of Russians and Ukrainians using FreeBSD and Apache to create webservers.

Any ideas? Are you setting it before including *any* headers? There was once a misbegotten idea that headers should include all the other headers they require. This could get in before you think it is in... Also, check out the stdio stuff in the pthreads library; there was a stdio limitation that had this problem (I know, you are using sockets, so they are raw fd's, instead of FILE pointers...). Finally, the way libpthreads does call conversion is to make the fd non-blocking and trade a blocking operation on a blocking fd for a blocking operation on a non-blocking fd, plus a thread context switch. This is one of the three common ways to implement threads. Because of this, there is a table of open fd's maintained internally by the threads library. I *thought* that it was dynamically sized, but I haven't had need to look for it, since I haven't done anything that needed that many simultaneous connections in a threads environment (I generally use shared process context environments for these things to allow me to beeter compete for CPU quanta against other processes on the system).

Any ideas? You would have to clarify what you mean by "puking". Does pthreads not compile? Does it compile and not work? Does it compile and work but your program doesn't work? Note that anything using the name resolver in 2.2 will have trouble with fds above what FD_SETSIZE is set to when libc is compiled. This is fixed in 3.0, but the fix hasn't been brought into 2.2.

But before that I'd also like to use this box for X. It has an ATI mach64 1Mb card, on a ASUS P55SP4 90Mhz, 512Kb cache. I've been able to run X a few times, but after installing several ports the X-system starts but blanks my screen and "locks" my keyboard. The only way in is through the network, but I'm not able to restore access to screen and/or keyboard. What kan I do to get out of this miserable state. (I've already tries installing X again. Als tried running the SVGA code. Guess I could try the less capable ones.) If nothing I'll reinstall the system, but then I'll probably run into the same situation again.

I am trying to connect my home system running FreeBSD to our office's ppp server. Our office's server is from Sonic and does not have a 'text' interface layer. I cannot figure our how to connect without going through the 'chat' layer. It seems that pppd always expects some form of text username/password string to be sent from the remote host. Any insights on how to get around this limitation would be greatly appreciated. Also, if this question has been answered somewhere else, a pointer to the documentation would suffice.

It is written using MS VC++ (yuck). On the FreeBSD side, where my web server is, a small library interfaces with the glue program and allows a C CGI program to get the appropriate database results. I couldn't really find any ODBC software under FreeBSD with source code which I could modify, so I cobbled together this solution instead. To keep things on the Windows side simple, I used an InetD clone from a company called InterAccess/PragmaSys so I could write the ODBC glue using stdio. Otherwise it was just VC++ 2.0 and ODBC SDK 3.0. Basically it ends up being that the NT side has a telnet-able SQL query handler. If you find any better solutions that don't involve programming on NT, please share 'em with the list. I would like a pure FreeBSD solution as well. -- A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers font to be sent to beneficiaries and senders of UCE/SPAM. @ mcs.net Wishes are like dishes.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello there, Sorry to bug you with a question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere, so here goes: I am trying to create a "named" memory map, with the name being "69", as in the function call below: pMem1 = mmap( NULL, 100000, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANON | MAP_SHARED, 69, 0 ); However, this does not work (returns -1, with errno 22 (invalid argument)). If I use the invalid fd of -1, then it does work, but then it is not named and I cannot get at this memory map from another process. The man page for mmap() suggests that I should be able to do this: MAP_ANON Map anonymous memory not associated with any specific file. The file descriptor used for creating MAP_ANON regions is used only for naming, and may be specified as -1 if no name is associated with the region. I am using FreeBSD 2.1.6. Is there a bug with this particular feature, or am I missing something? If you cannot help me with this particular problem, perhaps you can give me a suggestion as to how to solve the problem that I am trying to use this mmap for. I need to share memory between processes and the data in the memory is confidential, thus the shared memory functions (shmget(), etc.) are not appropriate, since anyone can use ipcs -m to get the shared memory id and write a tiny program to go get the contents of the shared memory. Any suggestions as to how I can get a moderately secure block of shared memory? Many thanks for your time, Robin. --------------------- Robin Walsh rtwalsh@ix.netcom.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 4 17:51:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA09253 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 4 Aug 1997 17:51:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dyson.iquest.net (dyson.iquest.net [198.70.144.127]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA09244 for ; Mon, 4 Aug 1997 17:51:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from root@localhost) by dyson.iquest.net (8.8.6/8.8.5) id TAA01021; Mon, 4 Aug 1997 19:50:23 -0500 (EST) From: "John S.

I bet your IDE CDROM is claiming to be a bootable disk so it gobbles up the second of the two BIOS numbers. You'll need to swap your Windows disk and your CDROM. Whether FreeBSD will continue to detect your cdrom is another matter.

You'll need to install BootEasy manually. On the CDROM or the FTP site is 'bootinst.exe' and 'boot.bin.' You'll want to boot a DOS disk from your first hard drive and run bootinst. That should get it there for you.

I don't know, perhaps its in case someone figures out how to make a vt320, which has an insane number of function keys, a console? 16's also a binary round number where 12 isn't.

Is there a way. Sure. You need to figure out which distfile(s) the port is looking for, copy them into /usr/ports/distfiles, then fire off the port. You can find out what it wants by running the port and watching it fail, or look at the port Makefile.

In your httpd.conf file you should have a line that says Servername www.yourdomain.com As far as I know, it doesn't matter where in the file you place this line, but mine is at the bottom and it seems to work fine.

Hmm, the configuration file looks good to me, at least I cannot see any bug in it. Which release of FreeBSD are you running? Did you try to connect the CD as slave on the primary IDE-controller? If connected to the primary controller it should be supported and recognized by the GENERIC kernel. Whats the brand of your CD drive?

Well, I'd give it a try anyway. And you can select 16/32 bit per drive *not* per controller, so it might be possible to run the HD in 32-bit even if you connect the CD to the slave slot of the primary controller. > There is one more question: > Does FreeBSD support a CDROM that is connected to SB16's controller?

Have a look at my PR kern/2325. The problem is, that the quota file can be seen as an array of quota entries indexed by the user id. The user id's you have run across might come from a PC-NFS client writing to the filesystem without somebody logged in (at least this is the case here). In this case, the PC-NFS client writes to the BSD filesystem as user -2 which is the large number you can see here. You can imagine, that quotacheck running from root (0) to this high user id, will run endlessly. As a solution, I have patched quotacheck.c and ufs_quota.c so, that all uids higher than 65535 get mapped to nobody. This is sure ugly, and all professional hackers here will cry now, but it works here about 2 months. *** ufs_quota.c.ORI Tue Aug 5 13:33:47 1997 --- ufs_quota.c Tue Jul 22 14:26:01 1997 *************** *** 720,725 **** --- 720,727 ---- struct uio auio; int error; + if( id > 65535 ) + id = 65534; dqvp = ump->um_quotas[type]; if (dqvp == NULLVP || (ump->um_qflags[type] & QTF_CLOSING)) { *dqp = NODQUOT; *** quotacheck.c.ORI Tue Aug 5 13:33:47 1997 --- quotacheck.c Tue Jul 22 14:59:49 1997 *************** *** 501,506 **** --- 501,508 ---- struct fileusage *fup, **fhp; int len; + if( id > 65535 ) + id = 65534; if ((fup = lookup(id, type)) != NULL) return (fup); if (name) Good luck -Andre From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 5 05:05:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA09135 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 05:05:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pili.adn.edu.ph (pili.adn.edu.ph [165.220.57.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id EAA08883 for ; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 04:57:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (art@localhost) by pili.adn.edu.ph (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id SAA03640; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 18:53:11 +0800 (PHT) Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 18:53:11 +0800 (PHT) From: Arthur Alacar To: Doug White cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: disk problem In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > On Mon, 4 Aug 1997, Arthur Alacar wrote: > > > > > > > any idea about this disk problem? > > > > wd1: interrupt timeout: > > wd1: status 50 error 0 > > Do you have IDE spindown enabled? what's this spindown? > > It's harmless unless you get these frequently, with other more serious > errors. i often got such message.. |art| From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 5 05:27:19 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA09861 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 05:27:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from whyy.org (whyy.org [207.245.67.105]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA09856 for ; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 05:27:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tvmaster1.whyy.org (tvmaster1.whyy.org [207.245.66.48]) by whyy.org (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id IAA12249 for ; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 08:27:10 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 08:27:10 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199708051227.IAA12249@whyy.org> X-Sender: jehrenkrantz@whyy.org X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: "..je" Subject: pop server Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi All, If I haven't mislead myself.

There are two things that I've seen go wrong with this, and haven't reported because I thought they were my fault; so tell me if you see them: 1) Init then starts up a second init, which, FreeBSD won't let you kill. 2) Some things, like removal of a pppd on cuaa3, won't take affect if you comment them out or even delete the line.

Do an upgrade from a release (or a snapshot). This involves running installation as if it's a new one, just choosing the "upgrade" option from the main menu. It's pretty painless, and you can use any supported installation method (CD, ftp, NFS, DOS, etc...) to do it. 2. Upgrade your source tree and rebuilding the system. See the sections in the handbook about "Staying stable/current with FreeBSD" and the tutorial on upgrade from source (also on the web site) for details. The advantage is that you can upgrade to *anything* you want, i.e., you can upgrade to a version that was never released in any other form. The main disadvantage - you have to have a full source tree set up, and it's a bit more complicated. > > stephen morrissey > morrissb@wilkes1.wilkes.edu > > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 5 09:48:41 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA22531 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 09:48:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from elektra.virgil.net ([206.249.11.252]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA22515 for ; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 09:48:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from delphina@localhost) by elektra.virgil.net (8.8.3/8.8.3) id MAA01243; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 12:49:58 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 12:49:58 -0400 (EDT) From: The Dolphiness To: support@cdrom.cpm, support@freebsd.org Subject: printers Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk hi!

The machine is a Pentium Pro 200 with 256M of memory, an Adaptec 29xx SCSI host adapter (2949???) and a 2GB hard drive. I have 512M of swap configured. The application eats a lot of file descriptors, but less than the 2048 we have it configured for. It also uses a large amount of SYSV Shared Memory and SYSV semaphores.

I have been supplied with a username and password for the proxy and have a question which I cannot seem to find a hint for. How would one begin to setup FreeBSD to use that peticular proxy? How would you specify the username/password. Can you use a DNS server on the other side of the firewall? (No-one thought far in advance enough to position a DNS server within out intranet. On a different note, any clue as to why games such as Diablo, which uses UDP packets wouldn't be able to cross PPP's masquerading scheme even though no filtering is active?

What is meant is that some models don't work, or only work in specific configurations. Specificaly, no CDs work when connected to the EIDE controller on a sound card, and some only work when configured as the master on the secondary controller or the slave on the primary controller. You may want to try and boot the install floppy (see the installation docs for instructions on how to make one) and attempt to set the CD as your media type (make sure you have a CD in the drive when you boot). If this works, your CD is recognized and all is well.

On other systems, this option has no effect. You capitalized it wrong :-) also look at the ld option, -Bstatic as opposed to -Bdynamic. It depends on whether you're passing the option to cc or ld, it seems, as they have different syntax.

I mostly like it, but I'm having a weird problem occassionally. Sometimes, when I start it up, it starts up, but no window is displayed. Looking at the systat -vmstat output, the Trp column has **** in it, or a very large number (e.g. in the 10's of thousands). This is with a Matrox Millenium, 24bpp, with Xaccel 3.1 and BackingStore /SaveUnders not set to Yes in my /etc/Xaccel.ini. I've sent this one off to Xi so I figure they'll have to comment on it, but if anyone has any tips, I'd love to hear them. What seems to trigger this is not having enough real memory free when starting -- I just doubled my swap space, so I know I have plenty of swap, but I only have 32 megs of RAM and I'm running 24bpp. I suspect that for some reason, netscape can't initialize sufficient buffers which it wants to be in real RAM for some reason or another. If I run a RAM-gobbling program (or two) immediately before starting netscape, that seems to help, or if I've gotten netscape to run for a sufficiently long time... Anyone else seeing anything strange like this? The other thing I suspect is login.conf -- I upped my settings once, but I'm wondering if I need to up them again for netscape. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 5 13:31:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA03336 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 13:31:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from foo.primenet.com (ip196.sjc.primenet.com [206.165.96.196]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA03330 for ; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 13:31:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bkogawa@localhost) by foo.primenet.com (8.8.6/8.6.12) id NAA03797; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 13:35:02 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 13:35:02 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199708052035.NAA03797@foo.primenet.com> To: kleon@bellsouth.net Subject: Re: Netscape 3.01 resolution??

I have a Hitachi laptop with an AMD PCNet PCI Ethernet card that I just bought and can't get to talk to the ethernet. Looking at the the working machine's kernel config file I noted the following line: device de0 and in the /etc/rc.conf file the following: network_interfaces="de0 lo0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_de0="inet 205.215.27.49" Being a simple-minded guy, I search the FreeBSD questions and found that the PCNet ethernet card used the lnc driver. Thus I substituted lnc for de in both files: device lnc0 and network_interfaces="lnc0 lo0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_lnc0="inet 205.215.27.51" When I rebuild the kernel and boot the machine, I get: Aug 3 20:28:49 toad /kernel: lnc1 rev 22 int a irq 9 on pci0:18 Two things strike me as odd: First, it says lnc1 instead of lnc0. Second, it doesn't mention its Ethernet address at all. The ifconfig fails because it can't find lnc0. So I try to manually ifconfig lnc1: # ifconfig lnc1 inet 215.205.27.51 ifconfig: interface lnc1 does not exist In hopes of getting more data, I boot the machine -c and remove the lnc driver. I get the following: Aug 3 20:28:49 toad /kernel: pci0:18: AMD, device=0x2000, class=network(ethernet) int a irq 9 [no driver assigned] Any help you can give would be appreciated.

When doing the BMAP, there is a possibility of deadlock. I have avoided making it easy to use swap files because the current support in the kernel is so poor, and it needs some special work to really function correctly. Swapping on files should only be done in emergency conditions (IMO), or when other atypical system loads are run. I suggest "don't do that." :-).

There's a lot of stuff there. (bin, include, lib, libdata, libexec). I was able to go into fixit mode using the 2d "live" CDrom, delete the offending under-usr, then make usr over again empty, then reboot. Thank you, Dan! I wonder how all that stuff got there? This was a very fresh install. About the only thing I have tried to do with this computer (and not succeeded) is to tar-copy everything over from my other computer, (running 2.2.1, having mounted this 2.2.2 / directory as an NFS drive on the 2.2.1 mountpoint /newcomputer with root-writing privileges. It is as if the NFS mounting ignored the new computer's mounting on the /usr mount point, and "under-wrote" it. I tried to untar to /usr from the 2.2.1 computer to the new 2.2.2 computer. I gave a command like (cd /; tar cf - .) | (cd /newcomputer; tar xf -) & The tar command began to fail, (I think now because it was using the wrong usr directory). If I try this again, and it happens again, you will hear from me again, because this doesn't sound right to me. Wayne M.

Hence, each server has a number of IPs aliased. The problem is, on these 2.2 machines, ftpd takes a long time to return a login prompt, preventing some users from connecting because their software has too short of a timeout. I get the "Connected to domain.com" message immediately, but the login prompt takes a good 20-30 seconds more. It's not a nameservice issue, because if I install the wu-ftpd port (which I'm trying to move away from since ftpd seems to be developing nicely), it returns the login prompt right away. One thing I have found is that on machines that have only one IP, the login prompt returns quickly. It's these webservers with a number of IP aliases that seems to be the problem.

Yes. All PC boards must have different IO addresses. This is a basic hardware requirement, and doesn't affect just ethernet boards. Look at the hardware configuration information supplied with your board, and change one of them to another address. I would suggest 0x320, unless something else in the dmesg output has taken this address. In addition, find an unused interrupt request (irq). A good choice might be 9. Next, you will need to build a new kernel: the GENERIC kernel only supports one 3C509. To do this, you will have to have installed the kernel sources. Find the following line in /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC: device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr Add the line: device ep1 at isa? port 0x320 net irq 9 vector epintr If you find you can't use I/O address 320 or IRQ 9, modify the line to indicate the configuration you have chosen. Next, build and install a new kernel, and reboot. The new kernel should find the second board OK. If you need more information about building kernels, see http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook37.html#39 or Chapter 11 of "The Complete FreeBSD".

This looks vaguely like the problems I have been seeing. Interestingly, I'm also using Xi and a Matrox Millenium, though my configuration uses two monitors, and because of a bug in the Xi server (displays large fonts incorrectly on the Millenium), I open my Netscape window on an ATI Mach 64 display. Feel free to forward this message to Xi. In my case, Netscape frequently loops, either before starting up or after finishing. It doesn't seem to be doing any system calls. I haven't reported this, because Netscape complains about down-rev libraries when it starts up. I wanted to get the correct libraries first and start again. I'm not in a hurry. > The other thing I suspect is login.conf -- I upped my settings once, > but I'm wondering if I need to up them again for netscape. I wouldn't have thought so.

Well, the danger exists that some might get left over, but I don't think they'll fill up the disks unless you are *very* tight on space. Most of the new files have the same names as the old ones. > If yes, what files can I delete to save room? This is a non-trivial task. The best thing you can do is use 'ls -l' to list information on all the files before installation, then do the same after installation, identify the files which haven't changed, and decide whether they're needed or not. Definitely not an easy thing to do. Most people, myself included, live with the ballast of old files hanging around.

I'm using a Intel EtherExpress 10 PnP on an ISA card. I'm running into some problems networking it with another computer. (an old amiga 3000) Here is what is puzzling me. Under Windows 95, both computer can talk to each other. They are pingable and everything. However, when I switch to FreeBSD, both machines cannot see each other. If I use tcpdump on FreeBSD, I can see that packets are leaving, but it sees no packets from the other computer. Nor does the Amiga see the FreeBSD machine. Whats going on here? Bug in the ex0 driver? We know the two boards can talk to each other, but only under win95. Does anybody have an idea what this could be? How can I do a broadcast? sri From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 5 18:45:01 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA18981 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 18:45:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.airmail.net (mail.airmail.net [206.66.12.40]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id SAA18950 for ; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 18:44:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from roycet.iadfw.net from [206.66.15.48] by mail.airmail.net (/\##/\ Smail3.1.30.16 #30.181) with smtp for id ; Tue, 5 Aug 97 20:44:48 -0500 (CDT) Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 20:48:01 -0500 (CDT) From: Royce Tidwell X-Sender: roycet@roycet.iadfw.net To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: ppp-routing tables Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hey guys hopefully just a quick question here... After a clean boot, everything works just fine, I dial in and my default routes are added normally. When I disconnect (or get disconnected), and then try to dial in again, the original default route is not deleted, and another entry for tun0 is added. Now, I can manually manipulate the routing table and get it to work, but it's getting tiresome. My ppp.linkup: MYADDR: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR (both MYADDR and HISADDR are dynamically allocated) Btw, I also get an odd message from routed when I boot up concerning my NIC, it's something like routed[52]: ed1 no route to host(224.0.0.1), I think. I'm not sure if the two are related. Please let me know if there is anything I can provide that'll help.

There's a slight chance that you're running out of a resource called "PV entries". We changed the preallocation formula between the 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 releases. Try adding this: options "PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=400" ...to your kernel config file and see if this helps. The larger number of PV entries coupled with your large amount of physical memory might result in other problems, however (like the system panicing at boot time due to running out of kernel VM space). -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 5 20:41:39 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA25675 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 20:41:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: from max.roskildebc.dk (max.roskildebc.dk [194.182.101.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id UAA25664 for ; Tue, 5 Aug 1997 20:41:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: by max.roskildebc.dk (5.61/9.8) with UUCP id AA06280; Wed, 6 Aug 97 05:41:09 +0200 Received: by swimsuit.roskildebc.dk (0.99.970109) id AA06384; 06 Aug 97 03:16:03 +0100 From: leifn@roskildebc.dk (Leif Neland) Date: 06 Aug 97 03:13:34 +0100 Subject: Oracle sqlnet-clients for FreeBSD Message-Id: Organization: Swimsuit Safari To: Freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Does the above subject exist?

We subsequently have decided to set up our own Internet Service Company (ISP). I have been looking around at things on the net, and have realised that I need some pretty powerful software. My friend told me of your company. Can your program allow me to set up an ISP, or do I need additional software? If it is possible to set up an ISP using your software as server software, then what am I expected to give you in return?! Surely you don't expect nothing! I was going to download your program, but I got VERY confused. I read the FAQ's, but they confused me even more! Providing that you software can help me send e-mails, and set up the like of an ISP, what things o I have to download. I went to the Australian FTP site, but yet again...I was confused.

Take a look at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG. The FreeBSD project (not a company) is dedicated to supplying a free version of UNIX. Yes, it's free. You can, of course, buy CD-ROMs, and I'd recommend it, but they're sold just for the cost of the materials. > I was going to download your program, but I got VERY confused.

I look forward to hearing from you! The ISP market is going to get really nasty in the next year or two. There's no place for people who don't know the business Really Well. >From your message, it's evident that you come from a Microsoft background, which, combined with a lack of knowledge of Internet software, is a significant handicap. It's my considered opinion that a lot of the old hands are going to go broke, and I expect most of those who just jump on the bandwagon will do so as well. Even now, I know no small ISP who gets a good night's sleep. Before you take the step, make very sure that you know you can survive, or at least come out ahead. Consider also that even now anybody who wants to can become a Telstra customer (on the Real Internet, not the Bigpond Home or whatever they call it) and pay $0.19 per megabyte in (nothing on data out). How are you going to beat that? I'm not saying this to be nasty; I've seen enough people suffer because they underestimated the work and the profit margins. If you want to talk about it, give me a call on the phone, and I can tell you more. Having said that, I suppose I should say something about FreeBSD as the basis of an ISP setup. It's arguably the best you can get (in particular, I'll accept arguments that BSD/OS is better, but there's not much in it). If you do take the plunge, by all means use FreeBSD. And there are plenty of people here and in FreeBSD-ISP who are more than pleased to help somebody who first tries to help himself.

One weel-known(?) exception to Greg's comments: Many of the files under /usr/src changed location between 2.1 and 2.2. If you indeed installed the sources, you'll be left with both the old and new versions. The easiest cure is to save your kernel config file somewhere safe and then delete the whole /usr/src tree prior to upgrading.

The main problem was the 2GB disk kept crashing and/or thrashing. Well, it's now official. The disk was defective -- extremely deviously defective. But as it is with deviousness, it eventually catches up with you! Here was the empirical problem: bad sectors kept cropping up AT RANDOM. The interesting part about it was that bad sectors would slowly MIGRATE (now you're bad, now you're not). It was obvious after running the DOS scandisk program twice within about two weeks. The bad cluster (DOS calls them clusters) graphical patterns were COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!!!! My relatively uninformed guess is that there was a piece of smut riding on the platter(s) and it/they stayed stuck for a while and then moved. Of course, I could be completely wrong and it might be something as mundane as a flakey controller chip (they ride on the disk pack in the Tecra) or as esoteric as an intermittently wobbly head. Regardless, since I've replaced the 2G disk, FreeBSD and Linux NOW WORK! Only thing left for me to figure out is how to use/get pcmcia scsi support! Then I'll be in tape-backup hog heaven! The amount of software on that Walnut Creek cdrom is outrageous. And that ports facility where it will scour the net for software is pretty amazing. So, sorry I can no longer regale you with stories about my cooling down disks with fan and icepack. I've now joined the unix PC crowd (formerly of the Solaris/Unix SUN crowd). It's pitiful, but now I have a PC which runs MUCH faster than my old SparcII and is vastly cheaper than the Ultra.

This is the bug discussed in the Netscape port (I know - it was doing this to me too). From the port : Note: If netscape hangs on startup eating all CPU time, find user_pref("browser.startup.license_accepted", ...); line in your ~/.netscape/preferences.js and move it to the end of the file or remove it, if previous not helps.

I have a friend who uses and recommends FreeBSD, but other people say Linux is best. I studied www.freebsd.org a few times, for an hour or so total. I found no comparisons of Linux vs FreeBSD. Can you tell me where I can find such comparisons? Can someone knowledgable post such to your site? I don't mean to sound picky, but, I am uninterested in the empty assertions and name-calling, that comprise so much of what is on the Net. Useful comparisons must be clear, And quantitative, comparing features, And performance. Lastly, in my 1 month on the Net, I've learned that most email goes unanswered. Could you at least let me know if you got this? Thanx, very much. Good luck.

I have a friend who would like to use FreeBSD, but his computer uses FAT32 and he gets the message "Error: Unknown Filesystem: OBh". I remember reading somewhere that FreeBSD won't work at all on a Harddrive that has FAT32 partitions. Is there any way to convert a FAT32 file system to a normal FAT file system? If not, and the only option is it reformat and partition, will the standard format program still make FAT systems, not just FAT32? thanks, Daniel Keller From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 6 15:06:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA23251 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 15:06:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from user1.inficad.com (accent@user1.inficad.com [207.19.74.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA23246 for ; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 15:06:42 -0700 (PDT) From: accent@user1.inficad.com Received: from localhost (accent@localhost) by user1.inficad.com (8.8.6/8.8.5) with SMTP id PAA12333 for ; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 15:09:12 -0700 (MST) Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 15:09:12 -0700 (MST) To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Error message Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have an ide atapi compliant cd-rom.

Here is the background: I tried setting up ppp to autoconnect to our server. I start ppp with: ppp -auto src Where 'src' is an entry in my ppp.conf file (ppp src without -auto works). Now, this is where I maybe missing something. From reading the documentation, my understanding is that -auto will automatically connect the ppp link whenever there is outgoing traffic. I cannot get it to work .... *but* if I first start ppp manually, then quit (disconnecting the connection), then restart ppp with -auto, everything works fine (it remains inactive while there isn't any connection, and then automatically dials/connects to the server when there is outgoing traffic). Do anyone have any idea why I have to first start ppp manually and then restart ppp -auto? Is there a setting/configuration problem that I'm missing (I'm running the 2.2.2 release of FreeBSD from Walnut Creek). Any help is greatly appreciated.

For a less-biased review, search the 'servers' list archive at http://www.hwg.org. For the Linux side, start at http://www.wgs.com. I don't know of any 'quantitative' comparisons (i.e. tcp-ip throughput, process performance, etc.) anywhere. Part of the problem is that there is no one Linux.

FreeBSD. A "TCP/IP program" is a nonsense. It's part of any real operating system. What you will need to do is to choose between user PPP and kernel PPP. At the moment, the odds are in favour of user PPP. Look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook173.html for more details.

I know you replied and said "problem resolved". However, that doesn't answer this question. The answer is that there is some problem sending packets down the line, and that the maximum allowable number of messages has been queued for transmission.

Is there a setting/configuration problem that I'm missing (I'm > running the 2.2.2 release of FreeBSD from Walnut Creek). In order for ppp -auto to detect outgoing packets, it first has to receive them. For this to happen, there must be a route which points to the ppp interface. This means that you need to know at least the IP address which will be assigned to the interface (in other words, this won't work with a dynamically allocated address). When you start the system, you need to issue at least the following commands: ifconfig tun0 my-ip-address his-ip-address route add default his-ip-address Normally, you'd do this in sysconfig: network_interfaces=".... tun0" # include tun0 in the list of # network interfaces ifconfig_tun0="my-ip-address his-ip-address" # see above static_routes="route_tun0" # add route_tun0 to anything else you # might have here route_tun0="default his-ip-address" # see above Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 6 17:26:22 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA00487 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 17:26:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from xmission.xmission.com (softweyr@xmission.xmission.com [198.60.22.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA00477 for ; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 17:26:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from softweyr@localhost) by xmission.xmission.com (8.8.5/8.7.5) id SAA26973; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 18:22:27 -0600 (MDT) From: Wes Peters - Softweyr LLC Message-Id: <199708070022.SAA26973@xmission.xmission.com> Subject: Re: Linux vs FreeBSD.

This has been beaten to death many times in the past. Go back to the FreeBSD web site and look for the mail archives. Search for Linux in there, and you will find VOLUMES.

Perhaps your 1 month on "the Net" isn't a large enough sampling for you to make these assumptions. Perhaps your statements will convince readers of this and other mail lists to dismiss you as yet another smart-ass newbie who isn't worth bothering with. I suggest that in the future you send out your requests, hope for the best in response, and TRY NOT TO INSULT THE PEOPLE YOU ARE ASKING FOR HELP! Now, for my quick comparison of FreeBSD and Linux: Linux is a cool UNIX-like OS written by a guy who liked minix, a smaller cool UNIX-like OS written for a text book. Linus wrote Linux because he didn't like the limitations of minix. FreeBSD is based on 4.4 BSD, which is the latest in the line of research operating systems from UC Berkeley, the parent of most commercial UNIX systems in the world in one way or another. --- Linux is an OS kernel; various organizations group the kernel with various collections of user tools like shells, text editors, etc. and call this a "release." Thus, we have quite a number of different Linux "systems", none of which are really a "system." It's like buying a car kit and building your own car. Linux dude: I've got the 2.01.43 kernel using ELF with the FooWare 1.27.12 distribution and libc 4.17.28. Why doesn't XYZedit work? Car dude: I've got an 88 Mustang with a 67 Chevy 327, a Carter 450AFB carb, and a Borg-Warner 4 speed tranny and a Spicer 9" diffy. Why can't I bolt any of them together? FreeBSD is released by a "core team" in finite releases: the OS kernel, all of the utilities, the system configuration, major applications, all are released at the same time. They all come from the same team and the cohesiveness is much higher. --- Linux supports more different PC hardware, and there is a *lot* of different PC hardware out there. FreeBSD has more limited hardware support, but not much more limited. Most devices for which a Linux device driver is available in SOURCE CODE get adopted into FreeBSD fairly quickly; for somebody who knows FreeBSD drivers, building a FreeBSD driver from a Linux driver is a straightforward task. The same is true of drivers from NetBSD and OpenBSD. Linux is a cool operating system; if it fits your needs better, you are lucky that it exists. For those of us who use FreeBSD, we feel it is "better" in a number of ways, many of which are intangible. FreeBSD generally has the fastest, most reliable, and most stable TCP/IP network support of ANY version of UNIX, including the large commercial systems. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

The real answer should be: packages have no business declaring functions they don't supply. The system should do that. The reason that they do it anyway is because so many systems don't supply the definitions. The correct way to handle this problem portably is to insert the following at line 110 of HTTP.c: #ifndef __FreeBSD__ extern char *sys_errlist[]; #endif This will give you a source file which will still compile correctly on systems with broken header files.

Well, you don't say exactly what you think the problem is, but I suspect you mean that the sum of Used and Avail is 66 MB less than the total. This isn't just on /usr, by the way. This is a feature, not a bug. The last 8% of the file system is available for use only by root. 100% capacity and the "Avail" column correspond to the maximum available for allocation by any user. If you overfill your file system, you'll see the Capacity field go up to 109%. See tunefs(8), parameter -m (minfree) for more details.

At least the manual for version 3.0 says so (I haven't tried this feature, but the more standard features have worked well for me). I find the statement that "FreeBSD won't work at all on a Harddrive that has FAT32 partitions" rather odd. I don't think FreeBSD cares about the nature of the other partitions, provided it has a primary partition in which it can be installed. It can't, however (as far as I know) read either an OS/2 HPFS or a FAT32; thus these would be unavailable (unlike a Windows95 FAT) while FreeBSD is running. Partition Magic comes with a program that will "unintall-move" programs installed under Windows95, which can be very useful when you're changing or planning to change the size of partitions. (I'm just a satisfied customer.)

I did press a key but it rebooted anyway. PLEASE help!!! Is it a bad SIMM??? MB Cache? Should I disable the cache? This machine is my gateway. My ISDN is connected to it, as are all 5 of my dialup lines. This reboot thing is crippling my business! Thank you in advance for your help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Donal SysAdmin of The Brewers' Witch BBS +1 713 272 7350 The Largest Pagan-oriented BBS on the Internet! http://www.brewich.com Modkin of soc.religion.paganism http://www.brewich.com/org/srp RingMaster of The WebCircle http://www.brewich.com/webcircle WebMaster of The Council of the Magickal Arts http://www.brewich.com/org/cma BW Internet Services, Houston's Pagan-owned&operated ISP http://www.bwis.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 6 22:37:42 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA18854 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 22:37:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pili.adn.edu.ph (pili.adn.edu.ph [165.220.57.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA18645 for ; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 22:31:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (art@localhost) by pili.adn.edu.ph (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id NAA08346 for ; Thu, 7 Aug 1997 13:37:43 +0800 (PHT) Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 13:37:43 +0800 (PHT) From: Arthur Alacar cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: gcl In-Reply-To: <199708070424.VAA00646@primenet.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk where can i find gcl for freebsd? |aRT| From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 6 22:39:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA18966 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 22:39:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from scottw.earthlink.net ([207.141.26.50]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA18960 for ; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 22:39:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bfe.cgibuilder.com (bfe.cgibuilder.com [207.141.26.53]) by scottw.earthlink.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id TAA10727; Wed, 6 Aug 1997 19:42:56 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <2.2.32.19970807053537.00d63224@mercury.earthlink.net> X-Sender: scottw@mercury.earthlink.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 06 Aug 1997 22:35:37 -0700 To: Tim Tsai From: Scott Wimer Subject: Re: netstat statistics Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk look at the sysctl stuff.

In addition, as you show, this works with dynamic addresses, though you're going to lose any outstanding connections any time the address changes. This works, of course, because the addresses of the end points of the PPP link don't really mean anything; the important thing is to be able to route. > Here's my ppp.linkup: > > ------------------------------------ > MYADDR: > delete ALL > add 0 0 HISADDR Have you tried running without this?

Not if the file is full up to the point indicated by the 'size' parameter. In this case, you have a file with holes in it--something is allocated at the end, and possibly somewhere else, but there are areas in the address space which aren't allocated.

Correct. Of course, it could consist of a number of disparate parts (like start at the beginning, go for a while, skip for a while, go for a while, skip for a while, go for a while). About the only thing you can be sure of is that the last block is allocated.

(oh, I also set up pccard.conf in /etc with the suggested line from pccard.conf.sample... with the interrupt corrected to match that in the kernel config file). tata, Chris *********************************************************************** * Christopher Rose * * Associate Professor of * * Electrical and Computer Engineering * * Rutgers University / WINLAB * * 732-445-5250 * * crose@ece.rutgers.edu * * http://winwww.rutgers.edu/pub/about/people/staff/crose/crose.html * *********************************************************************** From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 7 01:03:25 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA26271 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Aug 1997 01:03:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nico.telstra.net (nico.telstra.net [139.130.204.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id BAA26263 for ; Thu, 7 Aug 1997 01:03:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (gregl1.lnk.telstra.net [139.130.136.133]) by nico.telstra.net (8.6.10/8.6.10) with ESMTP id SAA25820; Thu, 7 Aug 1997 18:02:47 +1000 From: Greg Lehey Received: (grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.6.12) id RAA23932; Thu, 7 Aug 1997 17:32:45 +0930 (CST) Message-Id: <199708070802.RAA23932@freebie.lemis.com> Subject: Re: Question: ppp -auto In-Reply-To: <19970807003815.59799@n2.net> from Frank MacLachlan at "Aug 7, 97 00:38:15 am" To: fpm@n2.net (Frank MacLachlan) Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 17:32:44 +0930 (CST) Cc: grog@lemis.com, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, fpm@n2.net Organisation: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8250 Fax: +61-8-8388-8250 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL32 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Frank MacLachlan writes: > On Thu, Aug 07, 1997 at 03:42:08PM +0930, Greg Lehey wrote: >> Frank MacLachlan writes: >>> snip] >> >>> Here's my ppp.linkup: >>> >>> ------------------------------------ >>> MYADDR: >>> delete ALL >>> add 0 0 HISADDR >> >> Have you tried running without this?

Are you aware that the ports are not actually the real programs, but "makefile bootstraps" which do all of the configuration and patching for you (to the point of even downloading the source code), and that as a result, they are generally very, very small (as in under 10K in length)? So, if you are downloading the PGP port, you're really just downloading a few files, which if uncompressed somewhere, can be "make"d to download, patch, compile, and install pgp on your system. If you like, you can even download the "real" files + the port and use them together. >Thanks for any help you can give me. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 7 03:45:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id DAA02194 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Aug 1997 03:45:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from foo.primenet.com (ip220.sjc.primenet.com [206.165.96.220]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id DAA02189 for ; Thu, 7 Aug 1997 03:45:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bkogawa@localhost) by foo.primenet.com (8.8.6/8.6.12) id DAA21175; Thu, 7 Aug 1997 03:50:46 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 03:50:46 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199708071050.DAA21175@foo.primenet.com> To: sohel@southwind.net Subject: Re: communicator startup warning!!!

I must say that I'm with FreeBSD because I appreciate the quality of it. That's not to say that Linux is poor quality it's just that there's more structure and stability to FreeBSD. I am very familiar with the type of approach that the FreeBSD team uses as I work for AT&T and we require controls when developing any product. You just a get a better feeling that FreeBSD is solid when you use it. This can be proven by the fact that (as mentioned) many significant internet sites such as Yahoo and Walnut Creek rely on FreeBSD as their OS. I've done a lot of software development at the OS and application level for AT&T and can say that I'm very impressed by the entire FreeBSD package. I believe that one can't go wrong with it. If you're serious about learning the nuts and bolts of UNIX and a real OS, then FreeBSD is your choice. You see a lot about Linux because the publishing world is in love with it right now and everyone's grandmother is writing a book about it.

This is how I eventually got it working: - Install Linux emulation. - Check that simple executables for Linux work (e.g. bash, grep) - Install the Linux X11 libraries into /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib - Put /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH - Check that X executables for Linux work (e.g. xterm, xv) - Install Applixware. This might take some hacking, you might have to install the rpm files yourself (!) instead of letting the supplied script do it for you. I already had it installed on my Linux partition so I just made a symlink from /usr/lib/applix to /linux/usr/lib/applix. - Having installed Applixware in , make the directory /compat/linux//axdata/axshlib - Make symlinks to the files in /axdata/axshlib from /compat/linux//axdata/axshlib - Put /compat/linux//axdata/axshlib in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE Regards, -- Niall Smart Customer Engineering, IONA Technologies.

But when I exit & login again, the default is still /bin/sh, presumably because at the time I was unaware of pwd_mkdb. As a workaround, I put either /bin/csh -l or, taking an earlier suggestion, downloading tcsh, with /usr/local/bin/tcsh -l as the last line in each user's .profile file -- clearly not the right way. When I use either chsh or vipw, they both initially show the default shell of users aling or mmc to be /bin/sh, despite contents of master.passwd & passwd as below. Clearly, this state information is stored somewhere else, and accounts for why my earlier edits failed. After editing to either /bin/csh or /usr/local/bin/tcsh, both chsh & vipw show errors in pwd_mkdb such as follows: "/etc/pw.000237" 14 lines, 303 characters chsh: WARNING: shell '/bin/tcsh' does not exist chsh: rebuilding the database... pwd_mkdb: corrupted entry pwd_mkdb: at line #13 pwd_mkdb: /etc/pw.000237: Inappropriate file type or format chsh: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged where root@/root> cat /etc/master.passwd root:(snipped):0:0::0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/csh toor:(snipped):0:0::0:0:Bourne-again Superuser:/root: daemon:*:1:1::0:0:Owner of many system processes:/root:/nonexistent operator:(snipped):2:20::0:0:System &:/usr/guest/operator:/bin/csh bin:*:3:7::0:0:Binaries Commands and Source,,,:/:/nonexistent games:*:7:13::0:0:Games pseudo-user:/usr/games:/nonexistent news:*:8:8::0:0:News Subsystem:/:/nonexistent man:*:9:9::0:0:Mister Man Pages:/usr/share/man:/nonexistent uucp:*:66:66::0:0:UUCP pseudo-user:/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/libexec/uucp/uucico xten:*:67:67::0:0:X-10 daemon:/usr/local/xten:/nonexistent nobody:*:65534:65534::0:0:Unprivileged user:/nonexistent:/nonexistent aling:(snipped):1001:1001::0:0:User &:/home/aling:/usr/local/bin/tcsh mmc:(snipped):1002:1001::0:0:M Ling:/home/mmc:/usr/local/bin/tcsh www:(snipped):1003:1002::0:0:WWW server etc:/home/www:/usr/local/bin/tcsh and similarly for passwd. I'm confused because I'm sure I didnt have '/bin/tcsh' by the time I left the editor, saving the changes. Need I return /etc/passwd & /etc/master.passwd to their initial state before using chsh/vipw? I guess I could extract the initial state of any other pertinent files in /etc from the bin.* part of the distribution, but was hoping someone here might recognize how to help me avoid that.

I was frustrated at not being able to mount sd0s1, because it was FAT32. I ran partition magic against sd0s1, and went from FAT32 back to FAT16. The bad news is, that partition magic is not totally magic. It resorted to using a boot shim, that took up a partiton of its own. BAD program, thou shalt not insert boot shims. The result: Wipe W95R2 & NTWS4 off the drive, and re-install.

At least the manual for version 3.0 says so (I haven't tried this feature, but the more standard features have worked well for me). I find the statement that "FreeBSD won't work at all on a Harddrive that has FAT32 partitions" rather odd. I don't think FreeBSD cares about the nature of the other partitions, provided it has a primary partition in which it can be installed. It can't, however (as far as I know) read either an OS/2 HPFS or a FAT32; thus these would be unavailable (unlike a Windows95 FAT) while FreeBSD is running. Partition Magic comes with a program that will "unintall-move" programs installed under Windows95, which can be very useful when you're changing or planning to change the size of partitions. (I'm just a satisfied customer.)

As noted in other posts, you should check the mailing list archives. One more thing that I think FreeBSD has over Linux is the ports archive.

I assume you're trying to configure the mcd0 device, which is for the proprietary Mitsumi interface which was common several years ago. All you need to do is enable the wdc1 device and cross your fingers. I suggest trying to set up your CDROM as a slave to the hard disk. FreeBSD appears to detect things best this way.

The LKM doesn't probe the drives as effectively as they do in the kernel, and even that probe isn't very good. The driver doesn't use that much space anyway. If you're concerned about space rebuild your kernel and eliminate all the devices you don't use.

Either your disk is on the other IDE controller (thus probing as wd2) or the installation failed. You might try typing the following at the Boot: prompt: 1:wd(2,a)/kernel This should direct FreeBSD in the right direction. You'll have to type this every time to get started unless you do the following: If you get the message: panic: Cannot mount root At the end of the probe sequence you should either: 1. Have the line: config kernel root on wd2 in your kernel config, OR: 2. Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other parameters unchanged). Hope this helps.

Since you broke master.passwd, you need to fix it and run pwd_mkdb against it to compile it in. And in the future use vipw.

It's much slower since it has to fuddle with the filesystem vs. having an entire slice to format as it likes.

The package from 2.1.7 installed pretty as you please. I didn't have any problems until the wu-ftpd-2.4.2b13 package from 2.2.2. Another thing... the other thread about wu-ftp has me confused. Am I understanding correctly that some people are needing to put tar and gzip in ~ftp/bin ?? It seems to me that wu-ftp should tar and gzip without either of these in ftp/bin. The only things that need to be modified to use tar & gzip are ftpaccess and ftpconversions. Am I missing something?

No. There are two possibilities to handle the routing via multiple interfaces, whether they be PPP or some other IP interface. 1. One interface goes to the Internet, and the other interfaces are relatively local. This is the usual case. You specify the networks that are behind the "local" interfaces, and put the default route on the Internet gateway. 2. You have two Internet interfaces (for example, to two ISPs). In this case, you should run some routing protocol, preferably OSPF. Look at the gated port for more information.

This is a bit off-target for Linux, but I think it's an important observation: most free software was written in a BSD background, and it ports more easily to BSD. Often the System V ports have been done after the event, and though they've been made to work for the immediate environment, they're more fragile. Things are changing. A lot of free software is now being written initially for Linux. I haven't seen this have a negative effect on portability to *BSD, but it is of course having a positive effect on ease of portability to Linux, which I used to place somewhere between System V and BSD.

I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.1 I've just set up user-ppp to dial my ISP. The machine is connected to a private tcp/ip network and it serves as a gateway for outer internet access. I'm using IP masquerading by adding the -alias option when I run ppp. It works great. But now I need to use an ADSL line (similar to ISDN) to connect me directly to my ISP. This is done by connecting a digital modem to a second network interface card. The thing is I do not know how to keep using IP masquerading (packet aliasing) for the other hosts in my internal network. Thanks in advance for your help.

The domain keyword shouldn't be necessary, but there isn't anything wrong with specifying backup name servers "just in case." First off though, 'man resolv.conf' will tell you that you are only allowed 3 nameserver keywords. Secondly, if you are going to specify the local machine as a resolver, you should use 127.0.0.1 as the address, and make sure you have a primary/master db file for the 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa domain (this is usually localhost.rev). There is a script in /etc/namedb called make-localhost that'll do this for you. :) If you don't do this, a lot of software (nslookup for example) will try to resolve the PTR record for the name server you have. By referring to a dns that you are primary for, you save this ugly step. >Where is this file? You shouldn't have it on any system which runs a >name server. If this is really *on* samara.co.zw, remove or rename >it, and try again. If it still doesn't work, let's see your >/etc/named.boot file. Removing it will solve the problem too, since FreeBSD by default looks at localhost for the resolver. But if you want to specify backup name servers, follow the steps outlined above.

You were right: I did need to rebuild the database.

I managed to solve the second problem with a simple touch /var/run/sendmail.pid (could it really be that simple?)

If your setup includes an internal network with "unregistered" IP addresses (in the 192.168 range), then IPFW alone will not work. You'll have to either use only proxies for your internet applications, or use natd with the IPFW divert feature.

The "cause" can be one of several things (I fixed all of them to get it working 100%). 1.) Make sure your Linux emulation is turned on and installed. It won't run without it. 2.) Check your premissions on the Star Office files. I found part of the tree was set mode 700, so if you were root, it would run. If you were a "normal user", it wouldn't. I just "chmod -R 755 ." on the directory, and it worked fine afterwards. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 8 06:55:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA17843 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Aug 1997 06:55:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.swip.net (mn4.swip.net [192.71.180.65]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA17795 for ; Fri, 8 Aug 1997 06:54:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mail.swip.net (8.8.6/3.01) id NAA12633; Fri, 8 Aug 1997 13:54:52 GMT Received: from anderspc.hoj.se by hoj.se (5.65/1.0) id AA00756; Fri, 8 Aug 97 15:13:06 -0100 (MET) Message-Id: <9708081613.AA00756@hoj.se> From: "=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Anders_H=E5=E5l?=" To: , Subject: Problem with uncomressing kernel during floppy boot Date: Fri, 8 Aug 1997 16:06:52 +0200 X-Msmail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We are currently in the process to upgrade our old Intel 386DX Sequent box with Dynix/ptx (Sequents own UNIX). The machine is (what I understand) a standard PC that Sequent OEMed from Intel. The ROM Bios is from Phoinx and called "ROM BIOS Plus version 1.10 16.H0" Our problem occur when trying to boot the machine from the FreeBSD floppy (2.2.1). The symptom is that the machine reboot when uncompressing the kernel. The strange thing I have seen is that the machine have 512 Kbyte Base Memory (showed during boot memory test). Extended memory is 19M and on a separate board attached to the mother board. To access BIOS setup a separate floppy is used at boot up. According to the information in the bios the base memory is set to 511 Kbyte and extended BIOS is at 511K. During the FreeBSD boot process (from the floppy) the FreeBSD report: Boot @ 0x10000: 511/19456k of memory And then booting from fd is reported and then it just reports after the uncompressing has been working for about 15 sec. When booting Dynix/ptx the boot process report that the memory is adjusted from 511K to 512K. Anyone have any ideas or seen this before? Must the base memory be 640k? -Anders Haal E-mail: andersh@hoj.se Tele: +46-8-611 85 60 Fax: +46-8-678 27 80 Mobile: +46-70-5753 5 46 From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 8 08:00:01 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id IAA22864 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Aug 1997 08:00:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from europe.std.com (europe.std.com [199.172.62.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id HAA22834 for ; Fri, 8 Aug 1997 07:59:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from world.std.com by europe.std.com (8.7.6/BZS-8-1.0) id KAA20868; Fri, 8 Aug 1997 10:59:54 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mercury40 (ppp0a026.std.com) by world.std.com (5.65c/Spike-2.0) id AA10314; Fri, 8 Aug 1997 10:59:52 -0400 Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19970808105944.009214a0@world.std.com> X-Sender: joelman@world.std.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Fri, 08 Aug 1997 10:59:44 +0100 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Joel Gwynn Subject: packages/ports Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Where can I find a detailed description of the various programs in the packages and ports directories?

I have always made all my boot disks from the dos prompt in windows NT using rawrite2. The real issues are whether there are any bad tracks on the floppy, if the image has been downloaded correctly, has the floppy been formatted to the correct capacity. Always format the disk before starting. Use scandisk to check for errors. Only use the disk if scandisk reports no errors. Wait until the LED on the drive is off before removing the floppy from the drive. I have installed FBSD from floppies a number of times. All floppies were formatted using NT. At work I have also created boot floppies under 95 and never had a problem using rawrite2. 2) if you still have no luck run a scandisk with surface check on your diskettes 3) if you still have no luck redownload rawrite.exe and boot.flp and try again 4) sounds like a hardware failure with your computer, try it on someone elses :) Do you have Linux installed? You can use the dd command to write the image if you do: # dd if=/some/path/boot.flp of=/dev/fd0 -- Niall Smart Customer Engineering, IONA Technologies.

I had two identical WD AC310000 1.2G drives, and last weekend began getting these errors on one of them. Of course, there are many things that can probably go wrong, and there's no way of telling if Mr. Alacar's problem is the same as mine, but based on my recent experience, these messages are cause to begin more careful monitoring the system for possible problems. In my case, these messages always followed an unusual, audible "click" -- perhaps the drive reset itself? Depending on what I/O was in progress, the messages got more severe, and quite often resulted in panics and reboots. Messages included (an very short excerpt from /var/log/messages): Aug 4 08:48:10 base486 /kernel: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): Aug 4 08:48:10 base486 /kernel: wd0: 1033MB (2116800 sectors), 2100 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S Aug 4 15:37:01 base486 /kernel: wd0: interrupt timeout: Aug 4 15:37:01 base486 /kernel: wd0: status 58 error 0 Aug 5 17:05:01 base486 /kernel: wd0a: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command writing fsbn 16 of 16-19 (wd0 bn 16; cn 0 tn 0 sn 16)wd0: status 80 error 1 Aug 6 17:54:25 base486 /kernel: wd0a: hard error writing fsbn 144 of 144-159 (wd0 bn 144; cn 0 tn 2 sn 18)wd0: status 51 error 4 Aug 6 17:54:25 base486 /kernel: wd0s3e: hard error reading fsbn 341216 of 341216-341231 (wd0s3 bn 515296; cn 511 tn 3 sn 19)wd0: status 59 error 4 Aug 6 20:52:59 base486 /kernel: wd0a: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command reading fsbn 54352 of 54352-54367 (wd0 bn 54352; cn 53 tn 14 sn 46)wd0: status 80 error 4 I went to Western Digital's web site (http://www.wdc.com) and down loaded their diagnostic program. Typically, it ran perfectly foam DOS and continued to report no problems with the drive. It seemed to just be doing a surface scan, and had no random seek test, and I strongly suspect that it was not enabling interrupts, but simply polling the drive. Finally I got lucky I guess, and one of these "clicks" occurred which was detected as an error. WD is now sending me a new drive under their 3 year warranty. (Unfortunately, I couldn't wait a week and had to go out and buy a new one now -- the good news is that IDE drives are really cheap these days.) Conclusion and suggestions: 1. Make sure you have a current backup 2. Be prepared that the drive may be going bad 3. Monitor your logs and watch for any other symptoms, or an increasing frequency of errors 4. Go to the manufacturers web site and see if they have anything that can help diagnose a problem Good luck.

I took the opportunity to do some experimentation. Previously, I had a primary & extended dos partition on the first 900 cylinders. FreeBSD used the remaining space -- I made the root slice reside entirely under cylinder 1024. All worked fine. Now, I noticed that my BIOS supported LBA, so I figured I might be able to boot from a partition beyond cylinder 1024. Here's what happened... can anyone explain it? On the totally clean disk I ran dos' fdisk. It reported total space of about 4G, and let me create partitions up to 2G. This I expected. I initially just created the partitions as they had been on the previous disk. I then ran FreeBSD's install [2.0.5... I know, I know... ;-( ] It of course worked as before. Next I decided to try putting FreeBSD in the first (large) partition, with dos at the end of the disk. I thought that with LBA support, I might get away with this. When I went back to dos' fdisk, it now reported only 504M total space !!! What's going on? Something happened during the FreeBSD install that has now confused dos. I know that the boot block for dos (not the master boot block) contains some bios disk parameters that dos picks up. But what could FreeBSD have done that changed this? The bios still is set to ``user'' disk type with geometry of 7752/16/63, this is what FreeBSD reports, but dos now thinks the disk has only 1024 cylinders !! What gives?

For the ports, more the DESCR file in the particular port, for example: peloton: {4} more /usr/ports/games/oneko/pkg/DESCR oneko displays a cat chasing the mouse. It is based on "xneko", which displayed a cat in a cage (i.e., a rectangular window). She is now free to run all over the screen. For already installed packages you need to do a similar thing, but more the +DESC file in the pkg, for example: peloton: {5} more /var/db/pkg/dontspace-1.2/+DESC Dontspace is a solitaire game for X11. It's modeled after the game ``Free Space'' distributed with Microsoft Windows NT. Dontspace emphasizes a clean user interface and point-based scoring.

Here's what I want to do. Partition 1 & 2 are dos primary (100M) & dos extended (350M). Partition 3 is FreeBSD (2340M). I don't want *huge* file systems, so I sliced the FreeBSD partition into root (25M), /tmp (50M), /usr (300M) and /extra1 (2G). That makes slices a,e,f,g. (Shoot... I must have been braindead... I didn't try to see if I could have slice h,i, ...) I've still got 4G - (100M + 350M +2340M) = 1.3G remaining. I don't like having *huge* file systems because the fsck's take longer, if I lose the file system, there's more to backup, etc. I want to just create a file system in the 4th partition, rather than having /extra1 be the entire 3.3G. BUT... dos won't let me create another partition because there's already a primary and extended, and FreeBSD paniced when I created a second BSD partition during the install. How, using what fdisk, and marking it with what SYSID, can I create the 4th partition using the remainder of the disk? If I can do this, then I know I can just have FreeBSD use /dev/wd0s4.

We have a single physical network that hosts systems using three different class-C networks, lets say .1, .2, and .3. If I have a Windows NT machine with a .1 address, it can't seem to see any of the FreeBSD machines on the .2 and .3 networks. If I change the machine's address to .2, now it can see .2, but not .1 or .3! Even if I set the NT machine to have an ip address from each class C (.1.127, .2.127, and .3.127), it can only see the first network in the list. I've also tried giving the FreeBSD machines an address within the the same logical block, for example aliasing .1.101 onto the machine that actually lives in .3. No luck. Essentially, what I want to do is use an NT machine to access files on multiple FreeBSD boxes spanning multiple class C networks on one physical network. I normally avoid NT, but the software only runs on it.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Some recent postings have suggested that root's shell can be anything--i.e., not limited to csh or sh. As I remember I once tried to change root's shell to tcsh and got into a lot of trouble--enough so that I'm reluctant to experiment. I thought if root's shell, to run, required access to /usr, this could be a problem if only / were mounted. With su -m, of course, root gets the shell of the user as part of the environment, so a change should not really be necessary. Clarification would be appreciated.

There are likely individuals with stronger opinions them mine that we should probably not. In the worst case, the doscmd team has produced a version that runs under 2.2.X, and you might want to apply the patches yourself. I believe that 2.2.X is pretty much feature-frozen.

You need a new motherboard due to the MMX using a different voltage(dual plane is what I think its called) FreeBSD will work fine on MMX chips, but I doubt MMX will do much for it.

The person who is aliased to owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org can I ask you a huge favour, send the approve unsubscribe freebsd-questions freebsd-questions@marneweck.wcape.school.za as I'm getting desperate to lower the amount of mail I receive from this mailing list, as I am currently getting two copies of the freebsd- questions mail. Sorry for the previous post, but I'm getting desperate with a R587 phone bill on my modem line for the UUCP connects (sending/recieving e-mail via a UUCP queue).

All these OSes support DPT SCSI HBAs. I'd really like to run FreeBSD. :-) I've read that there is now an available driver supporting DPT's SCSI HBAs. Q1. Any idea(s) as to when this driver will make it into the CD & how it will possibly be identifiable? Q2 & 3. How can I install FreeBSD (current?) onto a machine with a DPT HBA? I suppose I'd need a boot-floppy with the driver in its kernel, so how'd I get that? Once up, I can, of course, get the driver & gen a new kernel, etc... Many thanks, Kenneth W.

Unix uses a 32bit integer to represent time, based off the number of seconds since 'epoch' which is defined as January 1st 1969 (I think). With this in mind, there is really no 'year 2000' bug that exists in the CORE operating system. However, people who have written bad sub programs may have the problem you describe, especially if they use 'localtime()' which will return the current year MINUS 1900. Many people did as you say, and just concatenate the given year onto '19' which is not what they should do. Instead they should do year+1900, which will give them the correct year. For instance, localtime() will return '114' for the year 2014, and 114+1900 => 2014. With this in mind, there will be a problem around the year 2030 or some such (Its been a while since I figured it out). However, at that time all that has to be done is to increase the size of the time storage integer to something larger, so it doesn't overflow. I am not sure how FreeBSD handles syncing with the BIOS clock, I am fairly sure it will handle it correctly. Somebody else can update you on the y2k effort with FreeBSD. Basically, a while back I recall a flurry of activity to hunt out problems like I mentioned above (simply concatenating 19, instead of adding 1900). Overall, I for one am not concerned about it. -Brandon Gillespie From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 9 10:03:43 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA02242 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 9 Aug 1997 10:03:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sand.sentex.ca (sand.sentex.ca [206.222.77.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA02234 for ; Sat, 9 Aug 1997 10:03:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gravel (gravel.sentex.ca [205.211.165.210]) by sand.sentex.ca (8.8.6/8.8.3) with SMTP id NAA05011 for ; Sat, 9 Aug 1997 13:09:53 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <3.0.2.32.19970809130127.00b09d80@sentex.net> X-Sender: mdtancsa@sentex.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.2 (32) Date: Sat, 09 Aug 1997 13:01:27 -0400 To: questions@freebsd.org From: Mike Tancsa Subject: changing a partition to swap, is this OK ?

Is such an > arrangment possible without a great deal of teeth-gnashing? I've got 2 IDE and 2 SCSI drives. What you can do depends a lot on your bios, both on your motherboard and on your host adapter... In my case, the motherboard bios will always boot from the master IDE drive, although the boot manager installed by FreeBSD allows booting from the slave. The bios has an option to support SCSI, but I've never even tried it. If I disable the master IDE drive (mark it as ``not installed'') then when the motherboard bios passes control to the BusLogic host adapter bios, *that* bios comes back to the motherboard with the boot drive -- I'm not real clear on exactly how this is done, in practice it means that if I disable the master IDE disk, the system will attempt to boot off the SCSI drive (probably SCSI ID 0) -- it becomes ``C:'' to dos. I suspect that if you tell the bios that the IDE drive is ``not installed'', then FreeBSD will still be able to access it. You need to experiment with your bios settings and see what happens. Can't hurt anything as long as you remember what settings you originally had so you can put everything back as it was. In the worst case, just create a small BSD partition on the IDE drive -- you only need perhaps 15-20M for your root slice. Create the other file systems -- /usr, /var, /tmp, /home, etc. -- on your SCSI drive(s).

Please email me or this mailing list. Have you tried using the 'stcolor' device? See /usr/local/share/ghostscript/5.*/doc/devices.txt and search for 'Stylus' for usage instructions. I would think the 500 would be backwards compatible to the Stylus COLOR, which I know works with this driver. I'm looking at gs 4.02 though, the driver may have been updated.

Please say yes. Thanks! Not in the base distribution, but a PnP driver is available from Sujal Patel. I don't have the address, but if you ask multimedia@freebsd.org they can probably help you. They've been working on PnP issues and have been using Sujal's code as a base. You should be able to hard-wire the device IRQ and port address.

I don't know if ipdivert made it into 2.2.1 or not. YOu may need to move up to 2.2-STABLE (past 2.2.2).

I generally use the 'custom' path, but I've installed FreeBSD 20 times so I know what I'm after. :) With custom you can pick exactly which pieces you want, including the source. Or you can do it manually afterwards by fetching the src/ssys.* files off the CD or FTP site and running 'tar xzf ssys.*' from /usr/src.

You will need to change the mother board because of a slight different voltage for MMX chips. However, as for the MMX chip, FreeBSD won't even notice the difference. MMX is a set of chip burned instructions supposedly good for Multimedia. Nothing for FreeBSD to worry about. Except for a different cache, no increase on speed. Regards, Mario Ferreira.
