You should have found. This F? thing is a good indication that your disk geometry didn't match between what the BIOS is using, and what the FreeBSD installation has been using. You gotta reinstall, and use the proper values (if necessary, using the `G)' option in the partition editor).

To elaborate on Doug's response, here's some info from the Apache FAQ (http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html): 26. Why does Apache send a cookie on every response? Apache does not send automatically send a cookie on every response, unless you have re-compiled it with the mod_cookies module. This module was distributed with Apache prior to 1.2. This module may help track users, and uses cookies to do this. If you are not using the data generated by mod_cookies, do not compile it into Apache. Note that in 1.2 this module was renamed to the more correct name mod_usertrack, and cookies have to be specifically enabled with the CookieTracking directive. More information is available here: http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_usertrack.html In general, it's always a good idea to go to the Apache site when you have questions about Apache. It's a rather comprehensive site. Also, if you're getting deeper into Apache, you might consider monitoring newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix. To quote from the Apache web site once more: Support for Apache will be via the comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix newsgroup.

After spending a fair amount of time typing it in, I decided it might be of use to someone other than Toby, so I've taken the liberty of CC'ing `freebsd-questions'. Of course, it might also simply recapitulate stuff that's already there; if so, sorry. To borrow an old quote posted to USENET years ago by David Palmer (who was `palmer@tybalt.caltech.edu' back when I snarfed the quote): "Of course, someone who knows more about this will correct me if I'm wrong, and someone who knows less will correct me if I'm right." ] Toby Norris wrote: > You are absolutely right about > what I was doing.

I cut my eye teeth on Fortran, back in the early '80s, but I haven't used it since about 1985, and I'm afraid I've had little incentive to keep up with the Fortran camp. However, I've heard good things about g77. You may get lucky. Consider this: The typical compiler compiles code to assembler, then assembles it. This arguably makes the resulting compiled code better tuned to the operating environment for which it was compiled--but it also means you have to have a different version of the compiler for every platform. g77 merely compiles down to C, instead of assembler, and uses gcc to compile the C code to assembler. Gcc is *very* *good*. It has been around for more than a decade now, and it continues to improve. If g77 produces decent C code, gcc should be able to produce a decent, efficient executable from it. The only real issue should be the faithfulness of the Fortran translation (i.e., how compliant is it with the Fortran 77 standard? or the Fortran 95 one?) Translators are not necessarily inherently inferior. For years, C++ was nothing more than a front-end for C. The original C++ compiler from AT&T goes by the name "cfront", as a matter of fact. As recently as four years ago, I was using a cfront-based C++ compiler. It produced perfectly decent code; the only drawback was that it was difficult to debug with a symbolic debugger, since the debugger thought it was dealing with the back-end C code that the C++ compiler produced. Other than that, I had no problems at all with the code produced by the translator. For another example, look at the GNU Ada Translator (GNAT, not to be confused with GNATS, the bug tracking tool). GNAT is a full-featured Ada compiler that supports most of Ada 83 and Ada 95. It was developed at NYU (or was it CUNY? I don't remember), and handed over to the GNU folks. Ada is an extremely semantically rich (read, "f---ing enormous") language. The original authors apparently wanted to spend their time on the Ada part of the compiler, without worrying about writing a back-end assembler code-generator (and rewriting it, over and over, for every platform). So they wrote a C back-end code generator, relying on gcc to do what it does very well: generate good assembler for the native platform. From what I've read, GNAT is a pretty decent Ada "compiler." My advice is to try g77 with an open mind. You might be surprised. If it turns out to suck, you might be able to find some commercial Fortran compilers that'll work on FreeBSD (e.g., a SCO or Linux product that can be run under the appropriate emulation subsystem on FreeBSD). > I just bought "The Complete FreeBSD" book and its a big help. It > mentions an atapi cdrom driver that I can't find anywhere: no on my cd > and not at the ftp site. The ATAPI CD-ROM driver is part of the kernel. To enable it, you need to create a kernel configuration file for your system, then add the following lines to it: options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM The ATAPI_STATIC may not be necessary anymore; I've had that config file around for awhile. If you've never configured a custom kernel before, read (carefully!) the section entitled "Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel" in the FreeBSD Handbook (http://WWW.FreeBSD.ORG/handbook/handbook37.html#39). The Complete FreeBSD probably also has that info, though I don't own a copy, so I can't say for sure. I've had the ATAPI code enabled in my kernel(s) since I was running 2.1.6. It never worked with my CD-ROM (a NEC 8x ATAPI), until I installed FreeBSD 2.2.2. Since I've installed 2.2.2, I've *never* had a problem accessing my ATAPI CD-ROM. Not once. Never. (Did I mention that I've never had a problem?) A lot of work went into the ATAPI driver for 2.2.2. I don't know if the same massively-updated driver was shipped with 2.2.1 (Jordan? Soren?). I bypassed 2.2.1 and went directly from 2.1.7 to 2.2.2. You might try 2.2.2. > One thing that I still have to do that I > couldn't do that isn't mentioned in the book is configure my network. > I need to have tcpip for a local area network plus ppp setup through > my modem to my ISP. I do that now. I have two machines at home, networked via 10Base2; the ethernet cards use the `ed' network drivers (`man 4 ed'). When I dial up to my ISP, my gateway box does so over a 28.8 modem, using the kernel-based ppp software. (See http://WWW.FreeBSD.ORG/handbook/handbook183.html#428) Finally, I'm using private network addresses at home (i.e., network addresses that are reserved for private nets and are never seen on the Internet proper--see RFC 1918 for details); to simplify network access for the machine behind my gateway, I use the IP firewall kernel module (ipfw) and the `natd' network address translation daemon on the gateway; it transparently translates internal addresses to the legal Internet address assigned to my ppp link, allowing the machine behind my gateway to use the gateway as if it were a standard router. It all Just Works. This stuff is easy enough--provided you understand something about TCP/IP networking in the UNIX environment. If you don't, you'll need to bone up on that first. I can't possibly give you enough information over e-mail to substitute for that kind of knowledge. My advice: - Depending on your current level of TCP/IP knowledge, start with a primer on TCP/IP. There's one available here: http://pclt.cis.yale.edu/pclt/comm/tcpip.htm There's another one here: http://www.Sun.COM/sunworldonline/swol-11-1995/swol-11-sysadmin.html I'm sure there are others on the 'net. I got the first one from Yahoo, and the second one from the Unix Guru Universe (www.ugu.com). The second one is a bit Sun-specific, but it might still be helpful. - Then, start poking through the more technical networking tutorials at Unix Guru Universe. Examples of pointers I found at UGU (via `http://www.ugu.com/sui/ugu/show?I=help.articles.network&F=1111111111&G=Y') - Integrating Your Machine with the Network http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/usail/index/network.html - Network Administrator's Guide (NAG) http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/zdv/projekte/linux/books/nag/nag.html Linux-specific, but many of the concepts and approaches, translate to BSD easily enough. - Next, read the networking docs in the FreeBSD handbook and in the Complete FreeBSD book you bought. - Finally, you might consider picking up a decent UNIX network administration book. The handbook contains pointers to some good references. See http://WWW.FreeBSD.ORG/handbook/handbook304.html#642 for details. For example, you'll probably find these two helpful: - Hunt, Craig.

How does one get them? I apologize for the confusion, As previously announced, a CVS repository for "learn" is being maintained at freefall.FreeBSD.org. A continually updated copy of the repository is also available by anonymous FTP at andrsn.stanford.edu in the /pub/learncvs directory, where the entire contents of the learncvs directory can be obtained with the command "get learncvs.tar.gz". Also 'learn' is currently mirrored at cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org if you would like to like to receive the current sources only via CVsup. Simply make these changes to your sup-file. *default host=cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org *default release=cvs learn-all "learners@FreeBSD.org", a mailing list, is also available to fol- low and participate in the development of 'learn'. To subscribe to the list or get more info email learners-request@FreeBSD.org If you have any more questions submit them to learners@FreeBSD.org -- =| Regards, =| FreeBSD ==> http://www.FreeBSD.org =| Kevin G.

Send a message to learners@freebsd.org or kevin_eliuk@sunshine.net to obtain access to the repository using cvsup and to get put on the "learners" mailing list. The CVS repository for "learn" is mirrored on an anonymous ftp site at andrsn.stanford.edu in the /pub/learncvs directory; it's being updated twice daily. You can get the entire contents of this directory with the command "get learncvs.tar.gz". If you want sources only, you can get them with cvsup using *default host=cvsup.de.freebsd.org *default release=cvs learn-all in your supfile (Joerg Wunsch's mirror). "learn" is a program developed by Brian Kernighan and Mike Lesk at Bell Labs years ago to teach, through interaction with the system itself, unix to beginners. The original source code has been somewhat modified by Kevin Eliuk and Joerg Wunsch to run on FreeBSD, but needs further updating and additional lessons to make it suitable for inclusion in FreeBSD. So this is a development project--not yet ready to use.

I use a dial-up connection (ppp) with my ISP. So, I use popclient to download my mail. However, it seems like 'root' is getting mail from my ISP without even using popclient; it seems to come straight to my machine automatically straight from the POP server by itself. This is probably not what is happening; I think I got it when posting to some newsgroup. But I didn't use any pop client mail program to download it, which is strange. When using a dialup ISP, I didn't think it was possible to receive mail directly, since the ISP serves as a gateway (I think). Maybe there is a glitch with my service provider. Any suggestions? BTW I've created a login with my ISP's username (dmm125). I figure this way I can use pine to send outgoing email with the correct return address, since pine will let me fill in my domain, and my username is automatically correct. I was at a loss to find a better way to configure sendmail so that I can send email as 'root', and still have the return address 'dmm125@belllantic.net', but my 'true' domain stay as 'myname.my.domain'.

I have been unsuccessful hacking ppp to handle a dialback connection, but need my connection to be up automatically when the system resets (which only happens when I tell it to :). For more information, here's the "handshake" procedure: o I dial up my ISP with 'ppp' o Me/ISP handshake with PAP o ISP drops connection o ISP calls back o Networking starts (no further authentication) Currently, I have to wait till the system is up, then I use some form of ppp to do the initial authentication; when the remote calls back, it drops straight into 'ppp -direct', which works, but ... I want it to be more automatic, and start at the time /etc/start_if.tun0 is called. Any help, ideas, suggestions, or pointers to code to modify in src/usr/sbin/ppp?

Gasp ! That's what I call an initialization string ! [.....] The problem seems to be that the other side is accepting your 10.0.0.1 address (and rejecting the compression protocol) while also giving you 172.16.1.22. After the rejection of the compression protocol, ppp decides that the 10.0.0.1 bit was ok and sends another request for that - your ISP then drops the line. I'd suggest trying "set openmode passive" in your config file. This should stop ppp from making the first suggestion of 10.0.0.1. > Thanks in advance. > Manuel Garcia > -- > ----------------------------------------------------------- > megarcia@lix.intercom.es > ----------------------------------------------------------- > -- Brian , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

Take a look at your sendmail process: $ ps aux|grep sendmail root 129 0.0 0.3 540 188 ??

If a misconfiguration, what can I do about it? >From /var/log/messages: Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status 58 error 0 Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0 error 1 Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command$ Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0 error 1 Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command writing fsbn 3604752 of 3604752-3604767 (wd1s1 bn 3883264; cn 3852 tn 7 sn 7)wd1: status d0 error 1 Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0 error 1 Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command writing fsbn 3604752 of 3604752-3604767 (wd1s1 bn 3883264; cn 3852 tn 7 sn 7)wd1: status d0 error 1 From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 17 16:43:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA03891 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 17 Aug 1997 16:43:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from whqvax.picker.com (whqvax.picker.com [144.54.1.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id QAA03886 for ; Sun, 17 Aug 1997 16:43:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ct.picker.com by whqvax.picker.com with SMTP; Sun, 17 Aug 1997 19:42:28 -0400 (EDT) Received: from elmer.ct.picker.com ([144.54.57.34]) by ct.picker.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA07288; Sun, 17 Aug 97 19:42:16 EDT Received: by elmer.ct.picker.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id TAA21373; Sun, 17 Aug 1997 19:39:17 -0400 Message-Id: <19970817193916.34794@ct.picker.com> Date: Sun, 17 Aug 1997 19:39:16 -0400 From: Randall Hopper To: Robert Eckardt Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: How to mount from a Linux box ?

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

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

It's been a year or so, but it worked for me. No, I didn't, but I got it mounted anyway. (mount uses a privileged port when I start it as root.) The solution to the first problem of my original mail was to also send a kill -HUP to nfsd -- unlike FreeBSD, where a -HUP to mountd is sufficient.

The other problem, however, still remains: How to get rid of an NFS-mounted FS when the remote side goes down and/or the mounted directory is no longer available. Even `umount -f' does not work.

In particular, the format of .fvwm2rc is very different from .fvwmrc, and it will require Serious Editing, especially if you're not using Emacs. I've made the change, and I like it. In particular, you can get the window manager to give windows different properties (I assign different colours to the window frames from different systems, for example, and put the icons at different places on the screen).

Do you already have a directory home? If so, do (as root): # mkdir /drive2c/home # cd / # tar cf - home | (cd /drive2c; tar xvf -) Now make very sure that everything has come across, then: # rm -rf /home After that, even if you didn't have a home: # ln -s /drive2c/home / BTW, I find drive2c a bad choice of name for a file system. What happens if you move it somewhere else? In general, your file system names shouldn't reflect the hardware configuration.

Okay, there, I said it. In the economy of a small business, it is not always practical to have several servers providing services such as firewalling and mail hosting. So, for my business, I want to set up a FreeBSD box to act as the Internet access point and provide things like DNS, mail hosting, NTP, and firewalling. I really don't have the dollars to build a separate box for the firewall although I know that security purists will frown and make some comments that security isn't cheap anyway. I just want one box that provides the services to my small LAN. I want that box to be the mail host for my company and also provide a firewall/proxy service. Am I asking for too much? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jerry Kelley jerryk@iquest.net "Expectations are life's greatest dangers."

Oops, this looks like an error in the newsletter. freefall recently changed its name to hub.FreeBSD.org, and now there's a new freefall which isn't really intended for public access. As a result, the files are now on hub.freebsd.org. So change that URL to: ftp://hub.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS/jdk102.11-26.tar.gz And yes, the file's there. Last updated November 26, 1996.

Sounds like you should buy a Whistle Interjet :-) (www.whistle.com) Anyway, given sendmail past history I'd feel very uncomfortable with sendmail in any sort of security-related function. Why don't you look at qmail (www.qmail.org) instead? This was written with security in mind. I hope by "Internet access point" you don't mean for users to actually login to the firewall box?

The way mine works is with /dev/sysmouse as the port for X mouse and /dev/cuaa0 as the port for moused. Both are declared as mousesystems mice. You'll have to play around with the settings, but I think the important thing is not to use the same port for both X and moused if you have a mousesystems kind of mouse. I don't know about microsoft mice. Maybe there should be a faq put together about all these mouse issues, because I've seen these same questions a hundred times.

I have Windows 3.1 and Linux installed, and will soon add Windows95 and perhaps Windows NT. I would like also to add FreeBSD since I am not entirely happy with Linux. However I can't find documentation to answer the following questions: 1. Can FreeBSD easily coexist with the other Operating systems? Can I boot FreeBSD from DOS; can I boot FreeBSD from floppy and switch / to the hard disk? 2. Can FreeBSD read DOS FAT files, can FreeBSD read Linux ext2 systems 3. I can use fdisk from Linux to create partitions readable from DOS and Linux. Will FreeBSD recognize these partitions? Answers, or pointers to documentation that answers, the above questions would be greatly appreciated.

It has a small utility called smap. This thing speaks enough SMTP to make mailers think it is actually delivering mail, but all it does is save the data into a file in a predefined directory (and is only about 800 lines of code, so there's not much room for security holes). A special daemon (called smapd) reads those files and hands them over to sendmail. This has the effect of not having outside access to sendmail. Also, smap does not run as root (if I recall correctly). We use such a setup here, and it has been mostly reliable, though some outside mailers make smap crash on a sig 11. We run smap on the standard SMTP port, and sendmail on another port which is blocked (by ipfw) for outside access. Inside access to sendmail is redirected through plug-gw (another utility from the fwtk) to the right port. > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Jerry Kelley > jerryk@iquest.net > "Expectations are life's greatest dangers."

The problem I'm having is that whenever I go to create a FreeBSD partition with the command, to create a slice, I enter the amount required (250M), press enter and the partition dosen't appear so i can set it bootable. Likewise, it dosen't appear in the next step to create swap files etc in the newly created FreeBSD slice. Is this a harddrive problem? I've checked the geometry option and the hd is as it is in the bios... any suggestions? thanks.

You *did* install the fvwm port/package, right? Once that's done, make sure the fvwm binary is somewhere on your path -- it'll be called fvwm or fvwm2, can't remember which right now. Check that you have this right in .xinitrc. Fvwm should then start up with default settings, but if it still doesn't work, try copying /usr/X11R6/lib/x11/fvwm2/system.fvwmrc to ~/.fvwm2rc and see if that works. You should probably do that anyway, as you will most likely want to modify the rc file to your personal tastes. The manpage will tell you what all the options do.

Yes, you can get much of the same functionality with ipfw or ipfilter.

I doubt you'll find many people serious about security who will want to go for sendmail alone.

I'm not sure if this problem is related with FreeBSD or XFree, but I'd be glad if someone could help me. I've just installed FreeBSD 2.2.2 on a new machine.

The more strange thing is that if I run a telnet to my own system (127.0.0.1) and then execute the programs, they run fine. (after that, I tought it could be something related to the DISPLAY environment variable. I changed the DISPLAY to the same thing that appears after the telnet, but it didn't help) Any help or suggestions on where I may look for a solution is welcome. Thanks is advance, P.S.

That's why I'm going to build my own! ;-) Besides, I enjoy working on FreeBSD boxes so that's why I'm doing this myself. If I didn't, I'd be using Windoze with the Interjet. Why pay Whistle and my ISP for something that I can put together much cheaper? I spoke with the folks at Whistle some time back and they seem pretty aloof at this point. They're attitude is that they have enough people interested in their product that they don't really care too much about more customers. I was trying to find out how I could get them to work with my ISP and they essentially stated that they have enough ISP's at this point and weren't interested in any more. So, I'm on my own here. The Interjet is a neat idea but the marketing plan seems inadequate. Besides, I'm not so sure that their product is very stable yet. Given that, I'd rather have the flexibility of working 'under the hood' myself since I have the programming and system knowledge necessary. > > A fairly common way to do this is SMAP (from the TIS toolkit) plus > sendmail.

Putting *something* in place is better than not having anything at all--provided you're aware of the limitations of your solution. If you're going to run sendmail on a firewall box, though, you might consider wrapping it in the `smap' wrapper that comes with the firewall toolkit. See http://www.tis.com/ for pointers to the firewall toolkit; it's free.

My users want to be able to view their daily and monthly usage on the web (ie. how many megs they have downloaded that day). Is there a utility for creating these pages. We would like the data to be private for each user, therefore the user would have to enter their user name and password to access their stats on the web site. 2. I am tring to find a killer daemon that only activates when the system is x% full (ie. activated when 90% of lines are in use). 3. A major problem we are having, is if the current killer daemon (idled) is set to 2 hours, the users logoff before that period and the refuse time never takes effect. Any solutions? 4. Can anyone suggest a admin program, that allows us to easily keep track of users activities (ie. downloads, connections stats etc.) Thank you, Jason McKay.

I currently use a PM from livingston as a router of a Frac-T1 leased line. However, constrasting to local telco price constraints, UUNet/Worldcom has been offering a very price interesting option for bulk transfers through satellite uplinks. So that, I am inclined to order a burstable E1 connection from them. I would like to know what was the conclusion of this thread. I will be using a K6 233Mhz processor with 32/64 Mb (depends) Ram and 4 Gig hd with FreeBSD 2.2-Stable solelly for the purpose of routing/packet filtering, so what network cards do I have as an option to finish building it? I will be using a Frac-T1 in one of the connections and a satellite uplink E1 on the other card. The uplink will be delivering my packets at USA, yet my local connection delivers them at Brazil. I would like to have load balance, so I understand that I will need to study gated to use BGP. I might be willing to use two gateways, one for each connection as noted on the discussion. Neverthless, I will be using only one to comence. What considerations should I keep in mind? Any troublesome network cards? Should I be using iBGP or BGP? Any special issues? Please help me. I've been following this discussion during the last week but I did not find it much elucidative. I apologize if I am being too repetitive, or if I am not using the right terminology.

It seems that stock ftpd, when compiled with virtual support, must be encountering problmes with nameservice lookups. Perhaps it tries to do some kind of lookup on all the IPs aliased to that machine, or maybe the fact that we don't reverse-resolve the webservers is causing the problem. Omar -----Forwarded message from Omar Thameen ----- We're trying to use the stock ftpd on 2.2 machines running as webservers. 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. Any ideas, advice, or commiseration?

Win95 owns the disk on the first controller. I installed the Booteasy MBR on both disks, it seems to work fine, I point it at the second disk, it boots, it does everything perfectly correctly and happily until it wants to go multiuser and mount /, then, it can't mount root from "wd1" (why is "wd1" here, I thought we were using wd0 and wd2?) and then it dies. If I take the exact same disk, edit /etc/fstab (boot from floppy, mount using fixit), to point at wd0 instead of wd2, and disconnect the w95 disk at wd0 and reconnect the freebsd disk there, it works fine. Why can't it mount root on wd2, and what is pointing at "wd1" since /etc/fstab is set to mount filesystems on wd2? As I said, changing only /etc/fstab entries to wd0, everything works fine if the disk is the master disk on the primary controller.

In the setup/config page, I have "inbox-path={mail.srv.net:143}inbox". You would substitute your mail server address for "mail.srv.net". The mail server must support the imap2 service. If you have a fixed IP address and your machine is connected to the net 24 hours a day, then it might make sense to forward to your local machine, but then you would have to do a little work to get sendmail or qmail properly configured.

If the "server" is an ISP, it will already have a pop server running. (I don't think pine does this sort of thing by itself.) Then you run popclient from the home machine whenever you log on or every now and then from crontab.

The system startup will be interrupted as soon as the device probes have been completed, and you will be prompted for a shell. Always choose sh: some other shells, notably bash, get confused in single user mode. Only the root file system will be accessible, and it will be mounted read-only. The reason for this is that the file system may be damaged and require repair before you can write to it. For example, npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface (end of the probes (high intensity display)) Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: (hit RETURN) erase ^H, kill ^U, intr ^C # mount -u / (mount root read/write) # passwd (Change your password here) # ^D (enter control-D to continue startup) Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 18 16:52:23 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA25980 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 18 Aug 1997 16:52:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.boisfrancs.qc.ca (mail.boisfrancs.qc.ca [207.253.52.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA25975 for ; Mon, 18 Aug 1997 16:52:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from liloo.boisfrancs.qc.ca (ppp23.boisfrancs.qc.ca [207.253.52.44]) by mail.boisfrancs.qc.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id TAA15348 for ; Mon, 18 Aug 1997 19:57:02 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 18 Aug 1997 19:51:50 -0400 (EDT) From: Louis-Philippe Alain To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Pine 3.95 setup 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, 18 Aug 1997, Annelise Anderson wrote: > and popclient on the machine at home.

You should be able to read your tapes in any DDS-2 drives (they're the ones that write higher densities onto the 120 m drives), as long as they handle compression (I assume you were running with compression on your old HP). If you buy a DDS-1 (like the old HP), make sure it, too, handles compression. Sony, for example, has a number of drives out which don't compress. I just got a flyer from Jem Computers, Inc., (http://www.jemcomputers.com/pb.html#STORAGE) offering refurbished Archive 4586MP changers for $299. I have one (bought new), and I'm quite happy with it. Alternatively, for the same price they offer refurbished Seagate 4242MT (DDS-1 with compression). On their web page, they have a (new?) Conner 4350M, described as a 2GB DAT (i.e. no compression, so avoid it). On the whole, I'd recommend a DDS-2: they're newer technology, and tend to have a longer real MTBF. My 345880As died like flies, and though my HP C1533A (DDS-2) has now died, it looks like it was mechanical damage during transport.

The following will work on all "hayes-compatible" modems. ATZ /* Resets the modem */ AT&F /* A very basic modem initialization string */ ATDT /* Insert the phone number in the form: 1234567 */ ATH /* Hangs up the modem */ AT+++ /* Changes from packet to terminal mode */ Your best bet would probably be to type this in the ppp term session: ATZ AT&F ATDT At this point you should see the login prompt from your ISP.

However, since installing 2.2.2, my intel ether express 16 ethernet card does not work. I can not get the system to probe it. I have tried enabling all the networking devices, disabling all network devices - no mention of the ix0 card there though. I even tried looking in the LINT file (for configuring the kernel), but could find no mention of the card there. Can someone please tell me how to get this card wroking - I cannot believe that they would remove support for this card.

Set your modem to auto-answer with ATS0=1 then write it to the modem's NVRAM with AT&W. This way, every time the modem is powered up the auto-answer mode is set. If you are setting up dialup access, you may be interested in mgetty, which is much more intelligent about modems than the standard getty. Mgetty is in the ports tree.

I don't believe Mylex hardware is supported, unless it emulates something else. DPT makes RAID adapters and they do have a FreeBSD driver (not shipped w/ FreeBSD but easily installed). Whether such a disk system is bootable or not is a function of the controller. I would assume that it would support something like that since as you mention, a RAID array looks like a big disk to the rest of the system. You might also look at ccd if you don't need hot-swappability. It can be configured to do mirroring if you're using identical disks, and it can do striping as well. See ccd(4).

The critical thing is that FreeBSD needs a primary partition in which it will be installed, properly located (more info at http://www.freebsd.org--also see the tutorial there on multiple operating systems, probably http://www.freebsd.org/tutuorials/multios/ multios.html). Then with a boot manager, which you can install when you install FreeBSD, you can select which system to boot.

For installing packages, it's easier to boot into FreeBSD, mount up your CD or DOS slice, copy the package names over to the UNIX filesystem, reinstating the full filename, then run 'pkg_add package-num.tgz' to install them.

If a > misconfiguration, what can I do about it? It looks like something is wrong with your IDE controller or your second IDE disk. You might check that nothing is using IRQ 14 or 15. Also check your cabling; your IDE cable may be slightly pulled out, or you have a dead or dying disk. The lockup is a result of the system blocking on the disk read. Eventually all the requests die and the system can continue to respond. > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status 58 error 0 > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0 error > 1 > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give > command$ > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0 error > 1 > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give > command writing fsbn 3604752 of 3604752-3604767 (wd1s1 bn 3883264; cn > 3852 tn 7 sn 7)wd1: status d0 error 1 > Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: > Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0 error > 1 > Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give > command writing fsbn 3604752 of 3604752-3604767 (wd1s1 bn 3883264; cn > 3852 tn 7 sn 7)wd1: status d0 error 1 > Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 18 21:40:06 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA09152 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 18 Aug 1997 21:40:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts13-line12.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.161]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA09125 for ; Mon, 18 Aug 1997 21:40:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id VAA02564; Mon, 18 Aug 1997 21:39:56 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 18 Aug 1997 21:39:56 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Cyrus Gray cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Does FreeBSD support the 3com 3c905?

No, it's probably recognized, just not set up properly. Move your disk onto your primary controller and 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). For the record, the IDE disk driver in FreeBSD isn't yet PIO optimized, although a project is available that will run Mode 4 disks in Mode 4. Let me know if you're interested and are good at making backups.

The following should fix you up. 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). > If I take the exact > same disk, edit /etc/fstab (boot from floppy, mount using fixit), > to point at wd0 instead of wd2, and disconnect the w95 disk > at wd0 and reconnect the freebsd disk there, it works fine. > Why can't it mount root on wd2, and what is pointing at "wd1" > since /etc/fstab is set to mount filesystems on wd2? As I said, > changing only /etc/fstab entries to wd0, everything works fine > if the disk is the master disk on the primary controller. This is because the boot blocks are good at counting but not good at looking at IDE controllers. It notices that you have two IDE disks and assumes you have then connected to the primary controller, thus making their designations wd0 and wd1. Of course, the kernel, which knows about IDE controllers, thinks otherwise and thus the 'can't mount root' message. The method above will fix this permanently. Hope this helps!

To the bootblocks, wd(2,a)/kernel is the first disk on the second controller. Unfortunately, the kernel's wd driver thinks otherwise and thus you can't start. Move your FreeBSD disk onto your primary controller and do the following, then you can move your disk back. I think I'm going to enlist the help of a friend committer and fix this once and for all. 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! BTW, the proper boot string is ``wd(1,a)/kernel''.

I am quite happy with this setup and keep my other FreeBSD box as hot stand-by if in case the mail router/Firewall crashes. I need to look at 'Whistle' though, let me know if you find that interesting. Prashant.

This introduction is for people new to both FreeBSD and Un*x--so it starts with basics. It assumes you're using version 2.0.5 or later of FreeBSD as distributed by Walnut Creek or FreeBSD.ORG, your system (for now) has a single user (you)--and you're probably pretty good with DOS/Windows or OS/2.

Next Steps 9. Your Working Environment 10. Other 11. Comments Welcome 1. Logging in and Getting Out Log in (when you see login:) as a user you created during installation or as root. (Your FreeBSD installation will already have an account for root; root can go anywhere and do anything, including deleting essential files, so be careful!) The symbols % and # in the following stand for the prompt (yours may be different), with % indicating an ordinary user and # indicating root. To log out (and get a new login: prompt) type # exit as often as necessary. Yes, press enter after commands, and remember that Unix is case-sensitive--exit, not EXIT. To shut down the machine type: # /sbin/shutdown -h now Or to reboot type # /sbin/shutdown -r now or # /sbin/reboot You can also reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Give it a little time to do its work. This is equivalent to /sbin/reboot in recent releases of FreeBSD, and is much, much better than hitting the reset button. You don't want to have to reinstall this thing, do you? 2. Adding A User with Root Privileges If you didn't create any users when you installed the system and are thus logged in as root, you should probably create a user now with # adduser The first time you use adduser, it might ask for some defaults to save. You might want to make the default shell csh instead of sh, if it suggests sh as the default. Otherwise just press enter to accept each default. These defaults are saved in /etc/adduser.conf, an editable file. Suppose you create a user jack with full name Jack Benimble. Give jack a password if security (even kids around who might pound on the keyboard) is an issue. When it asks you if you want to invite jack into other groups, type wheel Login group is ``jack''. Invite jack into other groups: wheel This will make it possible to log in as jack and use the su command to become root. Then you won't get scolded any more for logging in as root. You can quit adduser any time by typing Ctrl-C, and at the end you'll have a chance to approve your new user or simply type n for no. You might want to create a second new user (jill?) so that when you edit jack's login files, you'll have a hot spare in case something goes wrong. Once you've done this, use exit to get back to a login prompt and log in as jack. In general, it's a good idea to do as much work as possible as an ordinary user who doesn't have the power--and risk--of root. If you already created a user and you want the user to be able to su to root, you can log in as root and edit the file /etc/group, adding jack to the first line (the group wheel). But first you need to practice vi, the text editor--or use the simpler text editor, ee, installed on recent version of FreeBSD. To delete a user, use the rmuser command. 3. Looking Around Logged in as an ordinary user, look around and try out some commands that will access the sources of help and information within FreeBSD. Here are some commands and what they do: id Tells you who you are! pwd Shows you where you are--the current working directory. ls Lists the files in the current directory. ls -F Lists the files in the current directory with a * after executables, a / after directories, and an @ after symbolic links. ls -l Lists the files in long format--size, date, permissions. ls -a Lists hidden ``dot'' files with the others. If you're root, the``dot'' files show up without the -a switch. cd Changes directories. cd .. backs up one level; note the space after cd. cd /usr/local goes there. cd ~ goes to the home directory of the person logged in--e.g., /usr/home/jack. Try cd /cdrom, and then ls, to find out if your CDROM is mounted and working. view filename Lets you look at a file (named filename without changing it. Try view /etc/fstab. :q to quit. cat filename Displays filename on screen. If it's too long and you can see only the end of it, press ScrollLock and use the up-arrow to move backward; you can use ScrollLock with man pages too. Press ScrollLock again to quit scrolling. You might want to try cat on some of the dot files in your home directory--cat .cshrc, cat .login, cat .profile. You'll notice aliases in .cshrc for some of the ls commands (they're very convenient). You can create other aliases by editing .cshrc. You can make these aliases available to all users on the system by putting them in the system-wide csh configuration file, /etc/csh.cshrc. 4. Getting Help and Information Here are some useful sources of help. Text stands for something of your choice that you type in--usually a command or filename. apropos text Everything containing string text in the whatis database. man text The man page for text. The major source of documentation for Un*x systems. man ls will tell you all the ways to use the ls command. Press Enter to move through text, Ctrl-b to go back a page, Ctrl-f to go forward, q or Ctrl-c to quit. which text Tells you where in the user's path the command text is found. locate text All the paths where the string text is found. whatis text Tells you what the command text does and its man page. Typing whatis * will tell you about all the binaries in the current directory. whereis text Finds the file text, giving its full path. You might want to try using whatis on some common useful commands like cat, more, grep, mv, find, tar, chmod, chown, date, and script. more lets you read a page at a time as it does in DOS, e.g., ls -l | more or more filename. The * works as a wildcard--e.g., ls w* will show you files beginning with w. Are some of these not working very well? Both locate and whatis depend on a database that's rebuilt weekly. If your machine isn't going to be left on over the weekend (and running FreeBSD), you might want to run the commands for daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance now and then. Run them as root and give each one time to finish before you start the next one, for now. # /etc/daily output omitted # /etc/weekly output omitted # /etc/monthly output omitted If you get tired waiting, press Alt-F2 to get another virtual console, and log in again. After all, it's a multi-user, multi-tasking system. Nevertheless these commands will probably flash messages on your screen while they're running; you can type clear at the prompt to clear the screen. Once they've run, you might want to look at /var/mail/root and /var/log/messages. Basically running such commands is part of system administration--and as a single user of a Unix system, you're your own system administrator. Virtually everything you need to be root to do is system administration. Such responsibilities aren't covered very well even in those big fat books on Unix, which seem to devote a lot of space to pulling down menus in windows managers. You might want to get one of the two leading books on systems administration, either Evi Nemeth et.al.'s UNIX System Administration Handbook (Prentice-Hall, 1995, ISBN 0-13-15051-7)--the second edition with the red cover; or Æleen Frisch's Essential System Administration (O'Reilly & Associates, 1993, ISBN 0-937175-80-3). I used Nemeth. 5. Editing Text To configure your system, you need to edit text files. Most of them will be in the /etc directory; and you'll need to su to root to be able to change them. You can use the easy ee, but in the long run the text editor vi is worth learning. There's an excellent tutorial on vi in /usr/src/contrib/nvi/docs/tutorial if you have that installed; otherwise you can get it by ftp to ftp.cdrom.com in the directory FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/contrib/nvi/docs/tutorial. Before you edit a file, you should probably back it up. Suppose you want to edit /etc/rc.conf. You could just use cd /etc to get to the /etc directory and do: # cp rc.conf rc.conf.orig This would copy rc.conf to rc.conf.orig, and you could later copy rc.conf.orig to rc.conf to recover the original. But even better would be moving (renaming) and then copying back: # mv rc.conf rc.conf.orig # cp rc.conf.orig rc.conf because the mv command preserves the original date and owner of the file. You can now edit rc.conf. If you want the original back, you'd then mv rc.conf rc.conf.myedit (assuming you want to preserve your edited version) and then # mv rc.conf.orig rc.conf to put things back the way they were. To edit a file, type # vi filename Move through the text with the arrow keys. Esc (the escape key) puts vi in command mode. Here are some commands: x delete letter the cursor is on dd delete the entire line (even if it wraps on the screen) i insert text at the cursor a insert text after the cursor Once you type i or a, you can enter text. Esc puts you back in command mode where you can type :w to write your changes to disk and continue editing :wq to write and quit :q! to quit without saving changes /text to move the cursor to text; /Enter (the enter key) to find the next instance of text. G to go to the end of the file nG to go to line n in the file, where n is a number Ctrl-L to redraw the screen Ctrl-b and Ctrl-f go back and forward a screen, as they do with more and view. Practice with vi in your home directory by creating a new file with vi filename and adding and deleting text, saving the file, and calling it up again. vi delivers some surprises because it's really quite complex, and sometimes you'll inadvertently issue a command that will do something you don't expect. (Some people actually like vi--it's more powerful than DOS EDIT--find out about the :r command.) Use Esc one or more times to be sure you're in command mode and proceed from there when it gives you trouble, save often with :w, and use :q! to get out and start over (from your last :w) when you need to. Now you can cd to /etc, su to root, use vi to edit the file /etc/group, and add a user to wheel so the user has root privileges. Just add a comma and the user's login name to the end of the first line in the file, press Esc, and use :wq to write the file to disk and quit. Instantly effective. (You didn't put a space after the comma, did you?) 6. Printing Files from DOS At this point you probably don't have the printer working, so here's a way to create a file from a man page, move it to a floppy, and then print it from DOS. Suppose you want to read carefully about changing permissions on files (pretty important). You can use the command man chmod to read about it. The command % man chmod | col -b > chmod.txt will remove formatting codes and send the man page to the chmod.txt file instead of showing it on your screen. Now put a dos-formatted diskette in your floppy drive a, su to root, and type # /sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt to mount the floppy drive on /mnt. Now (you no longer need to be root, and you can type exit to get back to being user jack) you can go to the directory where you created chmod.txt and copy the file to the floppy with: % cp chmod.txt /mnt and use ls /mnt to get a directory listing of /mnt, which should show the file chmod.txt. You might especially want to make a file from /sbin/dmesg by typing % /sbin/dmesg > dmesg.txt and copying dmesg.txt to the floppy. /sbin/dmesg is the boot log record, and it's useful to understand it because it shows what FreeBSD found when it booted up. If you ask questions on freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG or on a USENET group--like ``FreeBSD isn't finding my tape drive, what do I do?''--people will want to know what dmesg has to say. You can now dismount the floppy drive (as root) to get the disk out with # /sbin/umount /mnt and reboot to go to DOS. Copy these files to a DOS directory, call them up with DOS EDIT, Windows Notepad or Wordpad, or a word processor, make a minor change so the file has to be saved, and print as you normally would from DOS or Windows. Hope it works! Manual pages come out best if printed with the dos print command. (Copying files from FreeBSD to a mounted dos partition is in some cases still a little risky.) Getting the printer printing from FreeBSD involves creating an appropriate entry in /etc/printcap and creating a matching spool directory in /var/spool/output. If your printer is on lpt0 (what dos calls LPT1), you may only need to go to /var/spool/output and (as root) create the directory lpd by typing: mkdir lpd, if it doesn't already exist. Then the printer should respond if it's turned on when the system is booted, and lp or lpr should send a file to the printer. Whether or not the file actually prints depends on configuring it, which is covered in the FreeBSD handbook. 7. Other Useful Commands df shows file space and mounted systems. ps aux shows processes running. ps ax is a narrower form. rm filename remove filename. rm -R dir removes a directory dir and all subdirectories--careful! ls -R lists files in the current directory and all subdirectories; I used a variant, ls -AFR > where.txt, to get a list of all the files in / and (separately) /usr before I found better ways to find files. passwd to change user's password (or root's password) man hier man page on the Unix file system Use find to locate filename in /usr or any of its subdirectories with % find /usr -name "filename" You can use * as a wildcard in "filename" (which should be in quotes). If you tell find to search in / instead of /usr it will look for the file(s) on all mounted file systems, including the CDROM and the dos partition. An excellent book that explains Unix commands and utilities is Abrahams & Larson, Unix for the Impatient (2nd ed., Addison-Wesley, 1996). There's also a lot of Unix information on the Internet. Try the Unix Reference Desk. 8. Next Steps You should now have the tools you need to get around and edit files, so you can get everything up and running. There is a great deal of information in the FreeBSD handbook (which is probably on your hard drive) and FreeBSD's web site. A wide variety of packages and ports are on the Walnut Creek CDROM as well as the web site. The handbook tells you more about how to use them (get the package if it exists, with pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/packagename, where packagename is the filename of the package). The cdrom has lists of the packages and ports with brief descriptions in cdrom/packages/index, cdrom/packages/index.txt, and cdrom/ports/index, with fuller descriptions in /cdrom/ports/*/*/pkg/DESCR, where the *s represent subdirectories of kinds of programs and program names respectively. If you find the handbook too sophisticated (what with lndir and all) on installing ports from the cdrom, here's what usually works: Find the port you want, say kermit. There will be a directory for it on the cdrom. Copy the subdirectory to /usr/local (a good place for software you add that should be available to all users) with: # cp -R /cdrom/ports/comm/kermit /usr/local This should result in a /usr/local/kermit subdirectory that has all the files that the kermit subdirectory on the CDROM has. Next, create the directory /usr/ports/distfiles if it doesn't already exist using mkdir. Now check check /cdrom/ports/distfiles for a file with a name that indicates it's the port you want. Copy that file to /usr/ports/distfiles; in recent versions you can skip this step, as FreeBSD will do it for you. In the case of kermit, there is no distfile. Then cd to the subdirectory of /usr/local/kermit that has the file Makefile. Type # make all install During this process the port will ftp to get any compressed files it needs that it didn't find on the cdrom or in /usr/ports/distfiles. If you don't have your network running yet and there was no file for the port in /cdrom/ports/distfiles, you will have to get the distfile using another machine and copy it to /usr/ports/distfiles from a floppy or your dos partition. Read Makefile (with cat or more or view) to find out where to go (the master distribution site) to get the file and what its name is. Its name will be truncated when downloaded to DOS, and after you get it into /usr/ports/distfiles you'll have to rename it (with the mv command) to its original name so it can be found. (Use binary file transfers!) Then go back to /usr/local/kermit, find the directory with Makefile, and type make all install. The other thing that happens when installing ports or packages is that some other program is needed. If the installation stops with a message can't find unzip or whatever, you might need to install the package or port for unzip before you continue. Once it's installed type rehash to make FreeBSD reread the files in the path so it knows what's there. (If you get a lot of path not found messages when you use whereis or which, you might want to make additions to the list of directories in the path statement in .cshrc in your home directory. The path statement in Unix does the same kind of work it does in DOS, except the current directory is not (by default) in the path for security reasons; if the command you want is in the directory you're in, you need to type ./ before the command to make it work; no space after the slash.) You might want to get the most recent version of Netscape from their ftp site. (Netscape requires the X Window System.) There's now a FreeBSD version, so look around carefully. Just use gunzip filename and tar xvf filename on it, move the binary to /usr/local/bin or some other place binaries are kept, rehash, and then put the following lines in .cshrc in each user's home directory or (easier) in /etc/csh.cshrc, the system-wide csh start-up file: setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls This assumes that the file XKeysymDB and the directory nls are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11; if they're not, find them and put them there. If you originally got Netscape as a port using the CDROM (or ftp), don't replace /usr/local/bin/netscape with the new netscape binary; this is just a shell script that sets up the environmental variables for you. Instead rename the new binary to netscape.bin and replace the old binary, which is /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.bin. 9. Your Working Environment Your shell is the most important part of your working environment. In DOS, the usual shell is command.com. The shell is what interprets the commands you type on the command line, and thus communicates with the rest of the operating system. You can also write shell scripts, which are like DOS batch files: a series of commands to be run without your intervention. Two shells come installed with FreeBSD: csh and sh. csh is good for command-line work, but scripts should be written with sh (or bash). You can find out what shell you have by typing echo $SHELL. The csh shell is okay, but tcsh does everything csh does and more. It It allows you to recall commands with the arrow keys and edit them. It has tab-key completion of filenames (csh uses the escape key), and it lets you switch to the directory you were last in with cd -. It's also much easier to alter your prompt with tcsh. It makes life a lot easier. Here are the three steps for installing a new shell: 1. Install the shell as a port or a package, just as you would any other port or package. Use rehash and which tcsh (assuming you're installing tcsh) to make sure it got installed. 2. As root, edit /etc/shells, adding a line in the file for the new shell, in this case /usr/local/bin/tcsh, and save the file. (Some ports may do this for you.) 3. Use the chsh command to change your shell to tcsh permanently, or type tcsh at the prompt to change your shell without logging in again. Note: It can be dangerous to change root's shell to something other than sh or csh on early versions of FreeBSD and many other versions of Unix; you may not have a working shell when the system puts you into single user mode. The solution is to use su -m to become root, which will give you the tcsh shell as root, because the shell is part of the environment. You can make this permanent by adding it to your .tcshrc file as an alias with alias su su -m When tcsh starts up, it will read the /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/csh.login files, as does csh. It will also read the .login file in your home directory and the .cshrc file as well, unless you provide a .tcshrc file. This you can do by simply copying .cshrc to .tcshrc. Now that you've installed tcsh, you can adjust your prompt. You can find the details in the manual page for tcsh, but here is a line to put in your .tcshrc that will tell you how many commands you have typed, what time it is, and what directory you are in. It also produces a > if you're an ordinary user and a # if you're root, but tsch will do that in any case: set prompt = "%h %t %~ %# " This should go in the same place as the existing set prompt line if there is one, or under if($?prompt) then if not. Comment out the old line; you can always switch back to it if you prefer it. Don't forget the spaces and quotes. You can get the .tcshrc reread by typing source .tcshrc. You can get a listing of other environmental variables that have been set by typing env at the prompt. The result will show you your default editor, pager, and terminal type, among possibly many others. A useful command if you log in from a remote location and can't run a program because the terminal isn't capable is setenv TERM vt100. 10. Other As root, you can dismount the CDROM with /sbin/umount /cdrom, take it out of the drive, insert another one, and mount it with /sbin/mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom assuming cd0a is the device name for your CDROM drive. The most recent versions of FreeBSD let you mount the cdrom with just /sbin/mount /cdrom. Using the live file system--the second of FreeBSD's CDROM disks--is useful if you've got limited space. What is on the live file system varies from release to release. You might try playing games from the cdrom. This involves using lndir, which gets installed with the X Window System, to tell the program(s) where to find the necessary files, because they're in the /cdrom file system instead of in /usr and its subdirectories, which is where they're expected to be. Read man lndir. 11. Comments Welcome If you use this guide I'd be interested in knowing where it was unclear and what was left out that you think should be included, and if it was helpful.

Redownload the boot.flp image, making sure you use BINARY mode. 2. Grab ``fdimage.exe'' from tools. rawrite won't work correctly under Win95. 3. Use a new, verified floppy and write the image. 4. Try booting it.

What I really want to know is, how to make it go away? One of your clients doesn't have a reverse nameserver entry. Take a look in /var/log/maillog and see if you can figure out who this was by IP, then talk with your hostmaster / DNS manager and make sure the IP address has a reverse entry.

If they're starting to show then your disk is probably due for replacement.

Basically, this method involves feeding the utility a stream of randomly-generated data, and trying to get it to crash - according to the authors, it may be a simple way to track down otherwise elusive buffer overrun or memory mismanagement bugs in the code. According to the results of the study, which was conducted several years ago now, Linux performed significantly better (ie less utilities of those tested spontaneously crashing. as opposed to exiting with a graceful error message) than all of the commercial Unices they tested. It would be interesting to see how FreeBSD fared in this regard, if only from the point of view of curiosity. What do people think?

Or, does he have to repartition the disk and create a FAT16 Primary DOS partition? Will FreeBSD be able to mount FAT32 filesystems? I know it handles FAT16s, but...

The kernel sys param for maximum login name length (MAXLOGNAME) is 12, even though the utmp/wtmp structure element for that (UT_NAMESIZE) is limited to 12. I don't have a problem with that... If you need to use long names, you have to realize that they will be truncated 8 characters. Perhaps not what one would want in an ideal world, but hey, we live with compromises every day. vipw, and the getpw functions, and su all get along fine with longer login names. My problem is this: login (from FreeBSD 2.1.0 through 2.2.2 -- the widest range I had conveniently available to me) explicitly truncates the the login name to UT_NAMESIZE before authenticating (*EVEN THOUGH* the size is taken into account where the utmp/wtmp structures are filled), making it impossible to directly log in as a user with a login longer than 8 characters (e.g. "hostmaster"). I changed our 2.2.2 system login program to truncate at MAXLOGNAME instead, and so far, all is well. If no-one knows of a reason not to do this, I'll try to submit a diff to someone...

I'm a potential FreeBSD user... but I've got a few questions before I dedicate a machine to it. Currently I've got a small home lan consisting of 5 machines in total. One NT server, three Win95 Machines and a 486/66 that I plan on using for FreeBSD as an IP routing machine. My connection to the internet is via my NT server with a cable modem that has been dynamically assigned an IP address from their side. However, my IP address rarely changes. I've had the same one for four months now. I am running an NT proxy server and have had good success at getting my machines to be able to use netscape to surf the web... however, my main goal is to be able to do direct IP addressing... IE be able to ping another host directly from one of my Win95 machines going through my NT server. If you hadn't guessed by now, my goal here is to be able to play Quake and other internet games that can't negotiate a proxy server from my other win95 machines.... Can FreeBSD help me in this situation? Would I be better off with Linux? I've heard of people being able to do this successfully with Linux in the past. Let me know!

I have created a loadable kernel module which will schedule IP-packets on user-defineable interfaces and priorities. But it doesn't work correctly now :-( What I want to do in the general ether_output() is basically this: prioritize packets check if there's more packets to read <-----------+ if yes | read the next packet and insert into queue | else | start output | | How can I check if there are packets to read in some/all interfaces and force the kernel to perform the read (and eventually write, which calls ether_output)?

So one does one's best to have the BSD boxen patronize the blowz pushovers in a language the blowz pushovers can understand. End of disclaimer. Now the question... I'm trying to get my Samba-enabled (crippled?) FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE box to "listen" for Winpopup messages sent to the local netbios workgroup. I've configured my inetd to launch smbd (wrapped by tcpd) to respond to tcp connections to port 139 (service netbios-ssn). This seems to work well and I'm able to receive WinPopup messages directed at my box. However, from what I can see, Winpopups sent to an entire workgroup are different. My experimentation with tcpdump indicates that these are broadcast using a UDP service referred to in /etc/services as netbios-dgm (port 138). Of course, this is where I had to start guessing as the Microsoft networking doumentation our NT administrator is detail-free (the price of being easy-to-read). I added this line to /etc/inetd.conf: netbios-dgm dgram udp wait nobody /usr/local/libexec/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/smbd Needless to say, this didn't work. However, when I tried to work out why, I realized I don't have a clue what I'm doing as I can't even work out where to start debugging. *duh* So what I really want is for someone to say something like: 1) There's no canned solution, you can't receive Winpopups sent to your Workgroup. 2) Have you tried doing foo / you've forgotten to do blah ? 3) Read the following docs. A nudge would be greatly appreciated.

Look in /usr/src/etc/mtree. If it isn't in that directory (assuming you placed your source tree under /usr/src), then you don't have the latest sources. Grab them. Hope this helps...

I'd like to delete the line that automatically mounts my bootable Windows 95 partition. At the time I created the file system, I thought I wanted to always have that partition mounted, but since the FreeBSD kernel support for Windows 95 file system is less than what I'd have it be. I've decided to use mtools to access that partition. To use mtools to access that section of the disk, I always have to umount it from the file system.

Here's what I did on a 2.2.2 machine: 1) Set the time in the BIOS. I'm using the local time there. 2) As root, run the command /usr/sbin/tzsetup. It'll ask you whether the BIOS time is local or GMT, etc. This creates the file /etc/localtime. 3) Make sure /etc/localtime is world-readable so that your users and non-root processes (like httpd's) can read it. Mine was created root readable only, probably because of the umask. 4) Reboot. Question: If I use GMT in the BIOS and set the local timezone info to EDT, do I never have to worry about daylight savings time?

I you can stomach the long-distance calls; I can offer some uucp feeds for free... But, you get what you pay for - since my feed is uucp (and, unfortunately, this is the "daily panic" box) the stability isn't all that great. I do have one sight that dials long-distance; but it's via a service line they are already have for other reasons, so it's not "really" a long-distance call.

As we _REALLY_ want to change over ASAP. if each user has their own ip address, you can use ipfw(8)'s accounting to keep track of how much data they download. man ipfw. something similar to "/sbin/ipfw add log any from any to " you will need one rule for each ip address. reset the counter when they logout. accounting will track when connect time and system usage (never used accounting myself). man sa and acct and lastcomm. jmb From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 19 10:57:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id KAA22855 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 10:57:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.sns.com (jack.sns.com [199.35.183.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id KAA22845 for ; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 10:57:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from speedy.pcscons.net by mail.sns.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #5) id m0x0sXE-0006xAC; Tue, 19 Aug 97 10:57 PDT Message-Id: <3.0.2.32.19970819105450.00820a60@mail.sns.com> X-Sender: ludwigp@mail.sns.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.2 (32) Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 10:54:50 -0700 To: Charles Mott , Hank Kuczynski From: Ludwig Pummer Subject: Re: IP routing?

So only one of your computers can be connected to the same quake server at the same time. Or you can set up a server on the FreeBSD machine... If a single client coming from your lan is fine, look for proxying client-side quake bots. There are some that cheat for you, and there are some which simply allow you to do what you want to do.

No. But you can use RSAREF for non-commercial purposes without paying for it. See http://www.apache.org/related_projects.html#apachessl > 4) Can I have a secure and non-secure version of the apache server > running on the same system? (I would like to see if things are > stable for a while) Yes. You may even want to leave them that way (we do). By runnning both versions you can track apache releases for the non-secure side while waiting for the ssl version to catch up. Unless your secure pages have lots of traffic you can configure the secure server to only run a few httpsd's. The secure server wants to run a non-secure version too (port 80), set its port to something like 8080 in httpd.conf.

We had a similar problem with a news server here, also with an Adaptec UW controller. It would definitely crash under 2.2.2, and I believe under one of the more recent updates as well. We were able to get the system running by going back to 2.1.7. One item that was perhaps somewhat non-standard is that the system has a K6 CPU, not an Intel CPU. I was not the person handling the installation, and my knowledge of the fine details is minimal at this moment, but I will ask the person who did this for more details, and post a followup message later in the day. -- Michael Bryan michael@blueneptune.com From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 19 11:19:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA24654 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 11:19:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bryce.net (bryce@yoyo.bryce.net [207.55.172.42]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA24647 for ; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 11:19:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (bryce@localhost) by bryce.net (8.8.7/8.8.6) with SMTP id NAA07371 for ; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 13:19:44 -0500 (CDT) Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 13:19:43 -0500 (CDT) From: Bryce Edwards To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: NIS...

Tracking logins and login time is easy. If they login directly using multiport boards, last login_id gives you a nice report suitable for awk or perling. If you are using terminal servers and radius there are scripts available to parse the radius log files. See http://www.aros.net/util/ and http://www.livingston.com/Tech/Links/index.shtml I'm sure tacacs has similar stuff if you use that. For tracking transfer volume you'll have to ask another Aussie, we don't have to worry about that here :) We do track usage for colo machines using tcpdump and perl scripts but I don't think that would scale well to dialup numbers. If you don't get any responses on the volume issue, repost to isp@freebsd.org. Lots of .au folks on that list.

I now have the mouse on /dev/cuaa1, and in X-Windows on /dev/sysmouse. I called Logitech, and they assured my that my mouse supports only the standard microsoft protocol, and nothing else, and that it is a 1200 baud, X-on/off device. The system is at a point now where I can bring up X-Windows successfully. However the mouse acts in an entirely spastic manner. It always returns to the upper left of the screen immediately, and isn't acting in any reasonable fashion, but it is acting (up). ;o) Do I have to set the baud rate in other than the /etc/rc.conf and /etc/XF86Config files? Anyone else had this problem? (BTW, the mouse runs fine under Win95.) I running FreeBSD 2.2.2 from the Walnut Creek CD. Any feedback on this would certainly be appreciated. I'm getting very tired of changing configuration and rebooting. Paul Missman P.S. For reference, if any of you need tech support at Logitech, their number is 702-269-3457.

Lame server is a server that is referred to by NS records but does not contain information for the zone the NS records claimed and in order for the client to figure out the server MUST NOT be dead. So it's a configuration error at the referring server.

The computer had functioned correctly under linux, but under FreeBSD the network access is unbearably slow. The netword interface ed1 appears correctly on bootup, and looks fine after an ifconfig, although it has the SIMPLEX flag set (is that ok?). During bootp, it virtually hangs when asked to invoke routed, and all subsequent net operations are painfully slow! I have recompiled the kernel to only use the devices in the computer and to optimise the settings, but it works no better than when under GENERIC! in this regard, so the problem lies elsewhere I presume? If you have any ideas, they'd be gratefully received!

 Dear Sir,

    I just start to use FreeBSD by last three month and I don't know to much about it (unix also). I bought FreeBSD 2.21 from Waltnut Creek CDROM and tried it for us to be an internet web server. Now, two month ago I can't get it up (for web server). In my pland, I have:

            1. Web Server (FreeBSD) and using Netscape FastTrack Server to be a web server engine.

            2. I have 1 of telphone line connected with my local ISP with dynamic IP address!.

            3. I just applied with dyndns (www.dyndns) for get the dynamic DNS service for anybody can reach my homepage by name.

    My problems is:

           1. I can't setup FreeBSD for using PPP connection because I don't know exactly about the step (When I use manual page it not clear) and I need it to connect to my ISP automaticaly every time that it reboot or just start or lose connection!!!. Please help me to config it by give me an instruction and Sample. (again I have dynamic IP address when I connected to internet.)

            2. I got software from dyndns its call  "NamedControl" for register my new IP address with their server every time that the it was changed. Where I must to put it in FreeBSD config? because It suposed to run after it got IP of PPP interface.

    Please help me to solve my problem. Thank you very much in advance and Hopefully you can help.

Best Regards,

Kiattikamol Sucondhamarn

There were numerous log messages indicating a SCSI bus timeout. Then the system would hang. This is apparently consistent with earlier reports of the problems with the Adaptec controllers. The problem was seen on 2.2.2-RELEASE, and on an early August engineering release. (I don't have the exact date available.) Backing off to FreeBSD 2.1.7 solved the problem --- the system has been up for over a week now, whereas before it was crashing after very little uptime. We no longer have the detailed log information, and obviously won't be able to get it with the system running 2.1.7. [Yeah, I know, we should have saved the logged info.

What do you want from crypt()? I say this because it is located in two different locations, depending upon what you are looking for... Otherwise, grab the lib source and look for libcrypt--that should get most of what you want (unless what you want is DES). -Brandon Gillespie From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 19 16:15:39 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA12491 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 16:15:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: from whqvax.picker.com (whqvax.picker.com [144.54.1.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id QAA12484 for ; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 16:15:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ct.picker.com by whqvax.picker.com with SMTP; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 19:15:03 -0400 (EDT) Received: from elmer.ct.picker.com ([144.54.57.34]) by ct.picker.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA16765; Tue, 19 Aug 97 19:15:01 EDT Received: by elmer.ct.picker.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id TAA07644; Tue, 19 Aug 1997 19:12:12 -0400 Message-Id: <19970819191211.29132@ct.picker.com> Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 19:12:11 -0400 From: Randall Hopper To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Question about "sysinstall" Errors Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.81 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to do something I think should be very simple -- run sysinstall on an installed system to allocate a sizable free slice of disk to FreeBSD. This will be "wd1s2", with the intent of having: wd1s2b: 128Meg - SWAP wd1s2e: the rest - UFS @ /share3 FDISKING in sysinstall worked flawlessly: Custom-Partition-wd1-Create---Write-Yes Then, I got the new slice layed out in the disklabel editor: Label-Create-128M-SWAP-Create--FS-/share3 So far, looks good. I try to "Write" and I get: "Unable to add /dev/wd1s2b as a swap device: Device not configured" ktracing sysinstall, I see it's trying to: swapon( "/dev/wd1s2b" ) I'm wonderering why--I can do that later. Going on, it then immediately forks off: newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/rwd1s2e It appears there was no "disklabel" before this, so newfs fails. I guess sysinstall doesn't check the newfs command for failure since it then goes on and tries to mount the partition: mount( ..., "/share3", ..., "/dev/wd1s2e" ) which returns Invalid argument yielding the: "Error mounting /dev/wd1s2e on /share3 : Invalid argument" dialog. If I try the "newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/rwd1s2e" by hand in the shell, I get: "newfs: /dev/rwd1s2e: `e' partition is unavailable" The /dev/rwd1s2e does exist, and "disklabel wd1s2" in the shell confirms the slice was never disklabeled (all blocks are in "c"). Am I doing something wrong here? I'd welcome any tips, suggestions, and even "Enlightening Flames". Before I resort to disklabeling via cmd-line, I'd like to make sure that sysinstall isn't an option -- it's definitely the kinder, gentler, safer way to go for users if it works.

Is there any assistance or ideas for me? By the way Kevin, I solved my little WIN95 partition problem. Also solved my slow scandisk and defrag problems with WIN95. When FIPS can't get past windows cheating, that FDISK delete partition command seems to be the only answer for it. Anyway, I'm back with only 200 megs for WIN95 now and 300 for FREEBSD. I hope to get a work around for the PCMCIA problem. Everything else isn't tested but, I think it will work. The CD rom drive, floppy, disk, monitor, keyboard. Haven't been able to test the track ball I have connected to com1 yet.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Scenario: 16 NC controlled drills that download their programs at 9600 bps from a Xylogics Annex 3. (Network Terminal Server) When the drill operator puts the drill into terminal emulator mode and hits enter, the NTS responds by "rlogin" as user "dyna4" into a system identified as "drillhost". Question1: Can a PC running FreeBSD (with a 16port serial card) be configured to behave in a similar manner? (Perhaps by modifying /etc/ttys?) Question2: The Xylogics manual mentions a program "rtelnet" that runs on various UNIX variants, and creates pseudodevices in /dev that look like local serial ports, but actually use the Xylogics ports, across the network. Is this sort of thing possible on FreeBSD? Can I make a pseudodevice that uses a "telnet" connection to connect to a resource connected to a different UNIX system's serial port? Why? Because I have at least one binary program that only runs on one UNIX version, and I would like to not put a worstation in, just to serve up drill files. Thanks in advance for any info.

The PCI NE2000 uses ed2 and up. You do not need to config the kernel for these. Everything is automatic (in 2.2, and 3.0 also I would guess).

All is set but i am just a little timid. I am running DOS 6.22 and Win 3.1x on an American Megatrends 1.6G Quantum Fireball. Partitioned into 3 partitions @ 360M each or so. My DOS and Windoze arte both on C:\ Along with most of my Net Candy .E is pretty full with Apps and stuff but I have an extra 250M or so on D:\ I have made my boot disks and Downloaded into D:\FreeBSD\bin all the bin files from the FTP release 2.2.2 and the Manpages D:\FreeBSD\manpages\ all and I have all of the tools @ D:\FreeBSD\tools Including setup.exe :Ha! So I would like to boot from D:\ and make FreeBSD live there on D:\FreeBSD! I have Optimized all So should I run setup from this dir or should I boot Run fips first then load these files onto the slice or just what is the best way to proceed at this point? I am using DOSNIX PC_DCL and MSH which give me a really powerful UNIX like environment but of course I am thirsty for the real thing. I am using Diamond Telecommander and am using The 80486 Deep Green Motherboard with Cyrix 5 X 86 @ 100MHz: Its a 32bit highperformance system board. Floppy is 1.44M and I can do a lot from bios like wondering, too, should I enable or disable LBA and well I have a whole bunch of questions but I'll save them for after first boot...Also I was wondering if I need to disable my 386 enhanced and just what to do about Memory Management but that will come after boot too...And I am reading the gotchas daily thanks to all you great people at freebsd and UGU...Thanks to Ms Anderson especially and her cohorts... Hope this p[osts and that it is a clear enough rendering of whats troubling me before boot...any help in this matter would be greatly aprreciated. Ill be moving to LA on the 31st of August so It would be nice to move into my new home with FreeBSD up on board and kicking...so please help if you can...thanks a million and I really Love this list!

I have been assured by several peers that it is one of the best boards in the industry. I found the discussion about this board in the FreeBSD archives, but have not seen any announcements about whether or not drivers would be available soon. Having done most of my college university work on a free Unix operating system (Linux), I would prefer to stay with such an operating system. (i.e., I really don't want to go with NT). I have found several reasons why FreeBSD is a better choice than Linux for a stable and upgradable server operating system. Unfortunately, I am under a timeline. If support for my Xem DigiBoard won't be available in the next four weeks, I may have to go back to Linux (which Digi has a supported driver for). You mentioned to pmartin@vt.edu that if he was faced with going with another operating system because of this choice to let you know. I am faced with exactly that. Having written a few device drivers in the past I can appreciate how much is involved. If anyone can develop a driver for this board, I would be deeply grateful.

We are having some discussions with DigiBoard going on right now. Drivers for the FEP boards require signing a non disclosure agreement to receive the programming information. They have permitted a Linux driver developed using the non-disclosure agreement to be made available under the GPL and so there is every reason to expect they will permit a FreeBSD driver under the less restrictive Berkeley licence to be made available. However, the wheels turn slowly. In the meantime Andrew Chernov is working on a "Riscom" driver for another intelligent serial board. If you would like details of that board let us know. If you choose another Unix because of the availability of DigiBoard product please let us know so that we can turn up the heat.

I was wondering which file controls what is mounted at boot time. I'd like to delete the line that automatically mounts my bootable Windows 95 partition. At the time I created the file system, I thought I wanted to always have that partition mounted, but since the FreeBSD kernel support for Windows 95 file system is less than what I'd have it be. I've decided to use mtools to access that partition. To use mtools to access that section of the disk, I always have to umount it from the file system. I know I can re-install FreeBSD to correct this miscalculation, but I thought someone out there knew a less drastic measure. I will be greatly appreciative if someone can help toward an intelligent solution. Thank you for time and effort. James F.

The K6 has been reported by some to have problems with make worlds, but I don't ever recall anyone ever saying that it had problems with the Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card. As for why the K6 does not work well doing make worlds, I don't know. It may be an early revision, i.e. 9711xxx, a motherboard compatibility issue, amount of memory (>32MB), chipset, etc. Then again, everyone I have seen here mentioning problems were using Asus MBs with the HX chipset. I guess it is a favorite among most FreeBSDers... In short, there are no hard conclusions. There was originally a rumor that the first batch was recalled (9711xxx may be an early batch but some may have slipped through). It's on that Unoffical AMD Web Site (I posted the URL a while ago.) I think it would be wise to ask him about his bootup Adaptec SCSI configuration to see if there is something there that might cause this problem. Unless you have personal experience that shows that the cpu will not work with this card, I don't think we should jump in and say the culprit is the cpu. Anyway, I use a K6-200 with 64MB EDO Memory with an Adaptec 2940UW and 2 Quantum Fireball SCSI-2 drives and never had any problems with FreeBSD 2.1.7.1R. So it isn't a cpu compatbility issue with the 2940UW here. I have never ran make worlds so I don't know if my cpu works doing that. However, just because there are reported problems with make world doesn't mean the cpu doesn't work at all with FreeBSD because that simply isn't true. In short, the AMD K6-200 runs FreeBSD fine *for almost everything*. The sticky point is whether it can/can not do make worlds successfully. If you never need to do make worlds, then you don't have any problems.

I cannot get this file without errors. I fetched it three times over the last days, the last time it came without restarts (ftp reget) in one piece. All three versions of the file had the correct length (and yes, I switched to binary mode). Each of the file versions failed the following test: gzip -cd src-cur.3000xEmpty.gz >/dev/null with gzip - Invalid compressed data, crc error. ctm -v src-cur.3000xEmpty.gz fails with "corrupt patch". I uncompressed the first and the third version of the file each and looked into them: Both had indeed problems starting with the file marker "CTMFM contrib/gcc/README.FRESCO". Inside this file the text becomes garbled. Because both of the files (the first was fetched over the last weekend from ftp.freebsd.org, the third version was fetched about Wed Aug 20, 01:00:00 MET DST, also from ftp.freebsd.org) have the same problem I suspect the file on the server is defect. Could you please look into it ? Thank you Helmut PS: I only read the hackers mailing list, please reply to my mailing address. -- Helmut F.

I'd also like to see such an utility, but I couldn't get this to work. I think the main problem is the IPX support of FreeBSD. It seems to be different from the one of Linux so they can't work together. But if there's any other solution please tell me !

(goes for Wine as well) It's the "header files" option in the X installation menu in sysinstall (don't remember the name of the .tgz file).

I'm sorry, but this is just complete and utter horse exhaust and you should be slapped on the wrist for giving out such flagrantly bogus advice to our impressionable youth here, some of whom may be naive enough to attribute some credibility to the sentiments expressed above. The load imposed on the CPU by "make world" is not particularly noteworthy, nor are any special secret x86 instructions executed during the process which the average user is otherwise protected from. It is also a virtual certainty that the failures we experienced with make world on the K6 could be reproduced under other types of perfectly typical load on a serious web or FTP site - it might not happen as quickly or be as obvious to the admins when it did (hardly a feature), but it's a serious risk nonetheless. Your advice is tantamount to telling someone that just because a car is unable to make left turns, it is hardly a serious issue for people like yourself who just happen to be able to get everywhere they need to go by making right turns only. That's all very nice for you, but back here in the real world where most of the commercial folk live, a piece of equipment which fails one of its significant acceptance tests is still considered to be a broken piece of equipment, period. A make world failure in testing is considered all the more disturbing (by those who understand what's going on, anyway) because it tests "general" system stability rather than focusing conveniently on some specific driver or system feature which one might conceivably be able to do without. A failure in this area is indicative of a more general problem, one which could strike at any time given varying load or memory usage, and as such it greatly erodes the confidence one is able to place in that system (to put it mildly). In any case, it also does not appear that you've tested your system to any significant degree, chosing instead to run a single and somewhat obsolete version of the OS on it (where are your 2.2.x tests, for example?) and in situations which do not appear to exert much strain on the system at all. If you understand anything at all about testing, you'll know that it involves placing the maximum projected strain on something things before pronouncing it fit for duty, not the minimum strain. Such a testing methodology would only be a recipe for building bridges which fall down during actual use and of interest purely to fools and masochists.

I try to make a better story now :-) > > I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2 on a PPro 200 MHz PC. I have created a > > loadable kernel module which will schedule IP-packets on user-defineable > > interfaces and priorities. So I have a router which is able to prioritize outgoing packets based on {address, port, protocol}-decision. To achieve this I have two different tables in memory: addresstable: { address, port, protocol, priority } interfacetable: list of interfaces which are scheduled So the user is able to type e.g. schconfig attach fxp0 fxp1 fxp2 fxp3 schconfig add 192.168.100.200 icmp high schconfig add \* \* \* low (schconfig is a user-space control program like ifconfig to modify the scheduler at run-time) This means that icmp packets (e.g. ping) to 192.168.100.200 have the high priority whereas all other packets are low priority traffic. These actions take effect on fxp[0-3] interfaces. I have modified ether_output() to put the packet in to the correct position inside the if_snd queue. The position is calculated from { address, port, protocol, priority }-information. In order to do the prioritity queueing one must always read packets from interfaces before writing them out. So inside ether_output() I want to force the kernel to execute ether_input(). My version work great (checking the priority and the position in the queue for every packet) expect that it is always writing someting out from ether_output. As a "minor" side effect packets are not prioritized :-('So I need to check if there is more packets to read from any of the attached interfaces. Of course I have a "timeout" mechanism to prevent the system from not writing anything out... Any ideas how to check for new incoming packets on all interfaces in the system? /Martti From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 20 02:38:17 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA11433 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 20 Aug 1997 02:38:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from adelphi.physics.adelaide.edu.au (adelphi.physics.adelaide.edu.au [129.127.36.247]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id CAA11425 for ; Wed, 20 Aug 1997 02:38:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bragg by adelphi.physics.adelaide.edu.au (5.65/AndrewR-930902) id AA05334; Wed, 20 Aug 1997 19:08:08 +0930 From: Kristian Kennaway Received: by bragg; (5.65/1.1.8.2/05Aug95-0227PM) id AA20186; Wed, 20 Aug 1997 19:08:07 +0930 Message-Id: <9708200938.AA20186@bragg> Subject: MpegTV Linux plugin To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org (FreeBSD Questions) Date: Wed, 20 Aug 1997 19:08:07 +0930 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] 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 I'm trying to get the MpegTV plugin (http://www.mpegtv.com, as recently announced) to work with the NS 4.02b7 Linux release under FreeBSD 2.2.2.

I have lots of problems getting a PC client started as a diskless client. The server is an FBSD 2.2.2 system. I use the neboot software from the distribution (/sys/i386/boot/netboot). The server is exactly set up like the description made in the handbook for FBSD 2.2.2, page 229. Now I detached both a client and an experimental server from the net and put them together into a private network, reconfigured the server to match all the IPs etc. and tried booting again - with the same error: after a while the slash was rotating on the client when the neboot software has already started up (the client received the config-file and prints the contents of /tftpboot/freebsd.IP!) it stops and tells me "Unable to get SWAP NFS/MOUNT ports". What happened? Well, when I installed the system, I choosed DES and kerberos to be installed on the server, but I never used kerberos. When I checked up what these packages installed, I saw that the nfs-daemon was replaced by another one. Is that maybe the subject of the faults? I have no idea what's going wrong. Maybe the RPC services are faulty ore something other is misconfigured. If anybody has any idea, tips or hints, please contact me!

Jordan, If it pleases you, I'll take back that last line above because I can't guarantee (based on what you said) that there won't be other problems. But regardless of that point I was saying there is no problem using the Adaptec 2940UW with the K6-200 as far as I can tell on 2.1.7.1R on "my" system. I have not heard anyone else saying there are other problems. Granted, I don't have 300 users on it like an ISP might, but given that I have several simultaneous users running X on it, there are no problems that I have seen with it and the drives do rattle quite a bit. I think the original question (if I recall correctly) was about whether the Adaptec 2940UW works with 2.2.2R or a RELENG one? I think he said that it worked in 2.1.7 before, but not on the later release. Then someone else said it was likely his cpu and suggested him try another cpu first. Why would it work in 2.1.7 before then? > The load imposed on the CPU by "make world" is not particularly > noteworthy, nor are any special secret x86 instructions executed > during the process which the average user is otherwise protected from. > It is also a virtual certainty that the failures we experienced with > make world on the K6 could be reproduced under other types of > perfectly typical load on a serious web or FTP site - it might not > happen as quickly or be as obvious to the admins when it did (hardly a > feature), but it's a serious risk nonetheless.

Yes, I agree -- that is a possibility. But until we are certain about the problem should we say that just because he has a K6, he has problems running FreeBSD with a SCSI card? I am sure there are others using a K6 and a 2940UW without problems too. Maybe this guy has a newer rev K6 and has SCSI trouble? Do we not help him because he is a K6 owner and just use the cpu as the scapegoat for any kind of problems with FreeBSD? I don't think it is fair for him to be treated that way. I know there are some FreeBSD users with K6s that feel bad about their chip, but for now there isn't much that can be done except to wait for the puzzle to unravel given some time. I would hate to see FreeBSD become just a genuine Intel only OS and not support any user who doesn't own an Intel chip. > > In any case, it also does not appear that you've tested your system to > any significant degree, chosing instead to run a single and somewhat > obsolete version of the OS on it (where are your 2.2.x tests, for > example?) and in situations which do not appear to exert much strain > on the system at all.

This box running 2.1.7.1R is on a production machine for X11R6 that I really can't have go down. It's the only FreeBSD machine with the 2940UW, but is running 2.1.7.1R. I do have a 2.2.2 RELENG and a 3.0 SNAP testing with a new Cyrix 6x86MX chip at the moment. I have another 2.2.2 RELENG machine running on a Pentium 133. So yes, I do try to keep up with newer releases, but I really don't like taking down a perfectly good important system and upgrading to find out that the patchwork upgrade breaks certain things where a complete reinstall would not.

Check ether_input() function. Here you can directly read ethernet packets from all the interfaces attached. But here you need to check for wheather the packet is IP, ARP (from ether_header) stc. etc. and you may also incorporate routing mechanism, as you need to schedule incoming packet to the right interface queue. I think, the trick is, hijacking the packet off the ether interface before it reaches IP level. Let me know if this is what you were looking for. Good luck !! Prashant.

There are several mentioned in the XF86Setup program.

Pretty close. The -ddial feature is not supported in the version of ppp on your system, but if you read the archives from January and February of this year, I wrote several messages on how to setup demand dialing with the -auto option on 2.1.x. A version of the -current user-mode PPP which will compile and run on 2.1.5 is available, see http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/ for more info. This will probably be your best bet if you cannot upgrade your 2.1.5 machine; upgrading to 2.2.2 or -stable would be even better. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

But what I glean from the above is an example of a misconeption I fight against at work every day. Software and computers are too complex systems to "nicely" behave according to control theory. Its an art, more like economic predictions, less like carpentry. One can not prove that software (or a computer) works. One can only demonstrate a fault. Failure to demonstrate a fault is not proof that one doesn't exist. I (dkelly@HiWAAY.net) asked: > Have you been following the thread on AMD K6 problems? With the problems > *everyone* else is having with the K6 and "make world" it would be hard > not to attribute your problems to the K6 unless you can reproduce the > same problems with another model CPU. On re-read I still don't read into the above that non-Intel CPU's are not supported. As if I'm anybody who could/would deny that support. For heavens sake, I'm running a NexGen! An Adaptec 2940UW is a very popular card, if there was a survey you'd probably find it the #1 or #2 card used in FreeBSD systems. What I was trying to say is the exact same problem others have in "make world" might be manifesting in the system when communicating with the 2940. I run 2940A's in this NexGen PCI-90 and an AMD 5x86/133-P75, and a 2940AU in a P-133, all with 2.2.2. An Adaptec 2940UW is a very popular card, if there was a survey you'd probably find it the #1 or #2 card used in FreeBSD systems. Problems with the 2940 family pop up every now and then, it might be happening to you. Have been doing a lot of shopping for an upgrade lately. Would like to buy the latest incarnation of my NexGen, the AMD K6, but I can't justify it due to reliability. It'll cost AMD (5) sales next week. And another 25 this year. As for Adaptec, its time for me to try a Symbios 875 based card. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

It's not FreeBSD that's different, you need to enable CGI in your Apache config files. In the latest 1.2b10 distribution, these are in /usr/local/etc/apache. They're actually pretty well documented in the files [ horselaugh, sorry! ], so edit those files to enable Options ExecCGI in the CGI directory, enable the ScriptAlias for /cgi-bin/ to be /usr/local/www/cgi-bin or wherever your data is (mine's /var/httpd/cgi-bin because I made a big /var partition on a separate disk) and enable the line that allows execution of .cgi scripts. Finally, kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid` to restart all the httpd processes. Actually, I believe the later versions killing the first PID will kill and restart all of them. The HWG is an excellent webmaster's resource for any level of expertise, and Apache.org has, of course the TFM to R. ;) Have fun, it's actually simple.

You can assign it an IP address (it can be a bogus 10. address) and it will "encapsulate" the 10. packets in the normal IP packets from your host. This is called an "Encap Gateway".

Bear in mind, though, that this is an unclean thing to do. Theoretically you could run into trouble with other utilities as well. I'm currently remaking my world because of such problems. To remake a program like ps, assuming you've done a 'make world' some time in the past, do: # cd /usr/src/bin/ps # make all install Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 20 23:46:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA03414 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 20 Aug 1997 23:46:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from radford.i-plus.net (root@Radford.i-Plus.net [206.99.237.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA03404 for ; Wed, 20 Aug 1997 23:46:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from totally.nutty.net (insane@totally.nutty.net [206.99.237.44]) by radford.i-plus.net (8.8.6/8.8.5) with SMTP id CAA07503; Thu, 21 Aug 1997 02:44:35 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199708210644.CAA07503@radford.i-plus.net> Reply-To: "Troy Settle" From: "Troy Settle" To: "Ron Echeverri" , Subject: Re: unusual but maybe harmless message on bootup?

Have you installed FreeBSD onto an EIDE disk that's connected as the master to the secondary controller? If so, give 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt. If it's installed on a SCSI disk in a system that also has an EIDE disk, give 1:sd(0,a)/kernel at the boot prompt.

I have FreeBSD installed on my machine, and need to add a RAID to it. Apparently, the problem is that the device id's are being assigned incorrectly upon booting, because the machine boots just fine with nothing plugged into the secondary SCSI controller (aha2940 I believe... it sees the drives okay in any event, so I doubt that's the problem). When I plug in the RAID, the BIOS sees the drives just fine, FreeBSD recognizes the drives correctly, but I get a "panic: cannot mount root" at the very end, which leads me to believe that it's assigning the devices incorrectly, and thinks that the first SCSI drive in the RAID is the root filesystem. I assume I'll have to hard-code in the devices, so everything gets assigned in a consistent manner, but I'm not sure, and am not clear on how to do this anyway (and don't want to waste my time playing around with it if this isn't going to solve the problem). With the RAID plugged in, sysinstall sees *only* the first four drives in the RAID (on the _secondary_ controller card), but unplugged it sees the three internal drives (primary card). Any ideas, or details on what additional information I should provide to somebody assisting me with this? This is a dual pentium-pro 200mhz with 200M ram (waiting for 3.0 to enable SMP support), with a 4-Gig internal boot, 2 9-Gig internal (ccd works fine for them) drives, and 5 2-Gig drives (in a RAID cabinet) hooked into the secondary controller card (everything SCSI). This machine will be used as a secondary machine for our web site, probably spitting out around 100,000 pages per day (if it keeps pace with it's twin) -- which is why we're using FreeBSD rather than NT.

After running FBSD 2.1.x on our two HP Netserver LC for more than a year, I tried to upgrade them to 2.2.x. Initially, I had some problems with these machines, but got them to work with hints from this lists. In the FBSD Handbook, it is shown how to use the "eisa 12" command to get the onboard SCSI controller to work. The 2.1.6.1 kernel running for a year now was patched in the approbiate include file and was working flawlessly. To install 2.2-stable on our spare machine, I booted it with a 2.2.1-RELEASE CD in the drive. It came up, I booted with "boot: -c", selected the CLI editor, entered "eisa 12" and "quit" and it merrily started to boot the kernel. It recognized the controller ahc0: ahc0: on Eisa Slot 11 ... found the disks and other devices and continued to boot. However, after a few more lines it said: npx0: on Motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface apm0: disabled, not probed ahc0: Brkadrint, Illegal Host Access at seqaddr = 0x0 and hung. I tried to boot with a 2.2.2-RELEASE bootfloppy and got the same result... Any ideas how to get this machine up and running?

The second Ethernet card doesn't work properly. The Ethernet cards are 3C590s. I've rebuilt the kernel to allow vx1, and set gateway=yes in /etc/sysconfig, as per the mailing list archives. Both cards have IP addresses set in sysconfig, and routerflog is set to -s, per the man page. Upon boot, the machine recognizes both cards, i.e.: pedicular 9% ifconfig -a vx0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 209.69.72.162 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.69.72.255 ether 00:a0:24:ca:12:c8 vx1: flags=8802 mtu 1500 ether 00:20:af:f5:c4:0e lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 pedicular 10% Oddly, if I do "ifconfig vx1 up", the card comes up. I can manually assign it an IP address, but I get errors like: Aug 21 05:42:41 pedicular routed[67]: punt RTM_ADD without gateway Aug 21 05:42:41 pedicular routed[67]: write(rt_sock) RTM_ADD 209.69.36.128/29 -- > 209.69.36.129: File exists Obviously, I'm don't quite know what I'm doing.

Roland, how did you get these files onto D? Did you get them by ftp, so you don't have a cdrom? Anyway I hope others will answer your message; I'm not a hardware expert. I just wanted to say that it sounds like you're doing "install from dos," but here's the point: the slice onto which you install FreeBSD has to be a different one from the partition (the dos term) in which you put the files that you have like D:\Freebsd\bin. So you need a partition that's free (no data you want to keep--a primary partition) into which you install FreeBSD from D:\FreeBSD. If the Quantum is IDE, it's probably got to be below 540 megs (at least the first section of the slice). Not sure about LBA here....I think it's irrelevant if the drive is SCSI.

I'm assuming that's not want you want - you just want to disallow the 'expn' command for sendmail, correct? In that case, add the following line to your .mc file: define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `authwarnings,noexpn') Then rebuild and re-install your sendmail.cf file. This will disable the sendmail 'EXPN' command.

If so, what is the recommended amount of space? Personally, I'd forget it. I installed an earlier (read smaller) version of FreeBSD on a system with a 40MB system drive and an 80MB /usr drive. It was really ugly. We used it for a comms server. There wasn't really any space for user accounts. Even at this we were constantly running out of swap. I would recommend 200MB with 32MB swap as the absolute minimum. If you want X, make that 500MB and 40MB swap for a single user, more swap for more users. Note that when you get above some minimum configuration, things improve dramatically. It just takes are certain amount of resources for the OS and a few apps, after that it's gravy.

You can use the PAO boot floppy to boot and install FreeBSD. Put the PAO distribution on your laptop and follow the instructions to build it (you will need the kernel sources). After this you should have FreeBSD to go. This worked for me. I believe I have install FreeBSD this way using a network card (3com 3C589) and a scsi cdrom (Adaptec 1460 slim scsi).

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, recently I've switched my mail machine to FreeBSD, hoping that it would make a nice stable server. I've been encountering a few problems. The machine in question runs some mailing lists. First, I started to get error messages like this when the mailing lists were queueing: kiki /kernel: file: table is full kiki sendmail[6096]: EAA06091: SYSERR(UID0): Can't create transcript file xfEAA06091: Too many open files in system I eventually figured out that what was happening was that sendmail was attempting exceed the maximum number of files that are allowed open per process, which is a value that can be set with the sysctl utility. The solution was to set the value to a much higher number, which I did. Now I am getting some error messages like this: kiki sendmail[589]: BAA00581: SYSERR(daemon): ... openmailer(local): cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable The other thing is that when I attempt to open a large mailbox with Pine, it crashes and dumps core--something that never happens on any of my other Unix machines. eg: Aug 21 04:41:19 kiki /kernel: pid 1955 (pine), uid 1002: exited on signal6 (core dumped) What I'm wondering is if maybe there are some other upper limit values for kernel, etc., that may be set too low by default. Could that be the cause of these problems also? If so, what are these values, and what can I use to determine/adjust these values? If not, does anyone have any idea what could be causing these problems? The machine is: P120, 32-megs RAM, Adaptec 7880 SCSI/1-gig Quantum with Kernel Developer install of 2.2.2R with all of the defaults, and then I recompiled the kernel as outlined in the Handbook. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your timely response! --Jim 415/488-1145 JimBenster@aol.com P.S.: all components have been purchased, including the newest full release of FreeBSD (from Walnut Creek CDROM).

You may look around hackers, but I don't believe anyone is even working on support for it. You'll probably need different hardware to make FreeBSD work (or write a device driver :-) ).

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 am using 2.2.2-RELEASE. I have a keymap which maps: ` to ESC caps lock to LCTRL shift-ESC to ~ The original ESC key is still ESC. When I type RSHIFT, ESC, release ESC, release RSHIFT, ~ is produced. When I type RSHIFT, ESC, release RSHIFT, release ESC, ~ is produced. When I type RSHIFT, `, release `, release RSHIFT, ~ is produced. When I type RSHIFT, `, release RSHIFT, release `, ~ ESC is produced. All but the last of these four behaviors (when two characters are generated instead of just one) seem correct. Is there a way I can get my "new" escape/tilde key to work like the "real" escape key? I tried looking at /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/kbdtables.h, which appears to hold the default mappings, and couldn't find any clues. Or perhaps this anomaly is just the way the keyboard hardware works? (The behavior has been thus on multiple machines on which I've installed FreeBSD.) This doesn't seem to have anything to do with keyboard repeat rates. Also, whether it's LSHIFT or RSHIFT, the behavior is the same. Maybe I'm too nitpicky, but proper keyboard layout -- and consistent functionality thereof -- is an essential part of my working environment. I guess remote logons from a NeXT would be the next-best thing for me. :-) dw -- 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.

(Or more, > can it mount only one of those sessions?) Yes, I have written multisession CD's as was able to mount them "properly" - meaning that I could access all the multi sessions e.g. .. having written multi sessions dir1 dir2 and dir3 on a mount I would see with ls -al d....... dir1 d....... dir2 d....... dir3 Someone did once bring me a CD that was written on another machine (non FreeBSD) and when I did a standard mount_cd9660 /dev/worm0 /mnt, that I could not see all the sessions, but only the last one ... I then did a "mount_cd9660 -s 0 /dev/worm0 /mnt" and then could see all the sessions. This was done on a 3.0-SNAP system, as I think the -s option to mount is not supported in 2.1.X or 2.2.X Reinier From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 22 03:21:22 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id DAA00163 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 22 Aug 1997 03:21:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from f3.fastcom.cz ([195.47.7.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id DAA00154 for ; Fri, 22 Aug 1997 03:21:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from onyx (195.47.7.136) by f3.fastcom.cz (EMWAC SMTPRS 0.81) with SMTP id ; Fri, 22 Aug 1997 12:17:39 +0200 Message-ID: <33FD6ABA.D83A8538@fastcom.cz> Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 12:32:27 +0200 From: Marek Tyban X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.0 [en] (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: PPP and leased line X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi!

Changing the settings with ifconfig causes the chip to be reset, clearing the condition.

The second solution sounds best, replacing the cards. In the meantime can you let me know what sort of "garbage" I might be looking for on the network? or how to find it?

To exercise your soundcard, run any FreeBSD-ready audio app. For a start, check out the packages in: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.2.2/audio Also, most Linux audio apps will work too if you have Linux emulation built into your kernel, and there are other apps out on the net Randall From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 22 06:42:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA09110 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 22 Aug 1997 06:42:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from emma.eng.uct.ac.za (emma.eng.uct.ac.za [137.158.128.160]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA09061 for ; Fri, 22 Aug 1997 06:41:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from shaun@localhost) by emma.eng.uct.ac.za (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA20560; Fri, 22 Aug 1997 15:41:40 +0200 (SAT) Message-ID: <19970822154140.44305@emma.eng.uct.ac.za> Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 15:41:40 +0200 From: Shaun Courtney To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: CD-ROM writer HP 6020 and FreeBSD 2.2.2-Release Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.79 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi All I would like to know if anyone has had success with the HP 6020 wormdisk, running under 2.2.2-R?

Mounting CDs doesn't have anything to do with the sound driver configuration in your kernel. It shouldn't have anything to do with your AWE32 soundcard either unless you happen to have CD-ROM hanging off the IDE port on your soundcard, assuming it has one. Try: mkdir /cdrom cd /dev sh MAKEDEV wcd0c mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom Use cd0c instead if you have a SCSI CD-ROM. If this gives you device not configured, you likely need to add the relevent driver support to your kernel Randall From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 22 06:55:12 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA09855 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 22 Aug 1997 06:55:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: from teligent.se (iservern.teligent.se [194.17.198.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA09836 for ; Fri, 22 Aug 1997 06:54:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from datorn.teligent.se (datorn.teligent.se [192.168.2.31]) by teligent.se (8.7/8.6.12) with SMTP id PAA26736 for ; Fri, 22 Aug 1997 15:52:12 +0200 Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 15:45:41 +0200 (CEST) From: Jakob Alvermark To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Warning: Select failed; error code 22 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from QUOTED-PRINTABLE to 8bit by hub.freebsd.org id GAA09851 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello!

I can't really help you much here; I can't find the Eratta at the moment, but I seem to recall that the 82557 receiver locks up when the preamble and/or sync bits are messed up. This can happen, for instance, when people plug/unplug cables from a hub that has poor or no protection from line transients, or it can also happen with damaged cables. I've also heard of problems when certain hubs or switches are power cycled. >[I'll still try and get the cards replaced as I've just checked and they >don't have any revision 2 type markings on them =(] You'll need to look at the device probe.

I've experienced the same exact thing but under Solaris 2.5 and CDE on an RDI Sparcbook. The windows seem to lock (as if NUM lock were on in Xfree) and the mouse buttons don't work correctly. Sometimes everything will return to normal and I'll get a few tens of messages saying the same thing: Warning: Select failed; error code 22 I narrowed down the problem to a faulty real-time clock on the Sparcbook. Sometimes it stops ticking (I can see this from Open Boot Prom) and that's when everything gets weird (which is what you'd expect!).

I've been doing some digging on this, and I've turned up what I think is a more useful variation. As above, create a directory to hold your application defaults. I called mine ~/.app-defaults. Then, instead of using XAPPLRESDIR, use the XUSERFILESEARCHPATH variable. For example, setenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH ~/.app-defaults/%N%C The primary benefit is that it gives you more control over which files are used. The key is the "%N%C" string. This is expanded to refer to the Name of the application and the value (if any) of it's "*customization" resource. Consider the humble xterm. If you wanted every single xterm you run to come up with white text on a black background, you could accomplish this by creating a file called "XTerm" in the .app-defaults directory, and adding the following two lines to it: *VT100*foreground: white *VT100*background: black So far, no difference from Randall's suggestion. The flexibility from this approach lies in the fact that a simple command line parameter allows you to choose which one of the files from .app-defaults will be used. Imagine that you've customised your xterms as above. But now you decide that you want some of your xterms to be yellow text on a black background. And you'll run your mail client in these xterms. As before, create a file in .app-defaults. However, this time, call it "XTermMail", and in it put the two lines *VT100*foreground: yellow *VT100*background: black Now, start an xterm like so xterm -xrm "*customization: Mail" and the xterm will read its configuration from XTermMail, instead of XTerm. The %N%C on the end of $XUSERFILESEARCHPATH causes xterm to look in the file specified by the concatenation of its "Name" (XTerm) and the value of the customization resource (Mail). To answer Stephane's original question, he(?) could create multiple resource files for Netscape; .app-defaults/NetscapeSmall Contains settings that take effect with -xrm "*customization: Small" .app-defaults/NetscapeBig Contains settings that take effect with -xrm "*customization: Big" and so on. Hope that's useful.

I have a Western Digital 5.1 GB (EIDE) and an OLD DEC RZ25 406MB SCSI attached to a BT-948 BusLogic Adapter. I've tried installing FreeBSD 2.2.2 on the SCSI drive. The installation seems to proceed with no problems. The problems occur when I actuallly try to boot FreeBSD. I am also using System Commander 3.01. System Commander detects the new OS, but one of two things happens. One, System Commander tells me the partition is possibly corrupt. Two, System Commander attempts to boot FreeBSD and I then get a "READ ERROR". Just for kicks, I tried installing RedHat Linux 4.2 on the SCSI drive and everything worked just great. No problems at all. I've installed FreeBSD before, but never in a EIDE & SCSI system. Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks!

OK. startx works fine, it runs on ttyv3. When I run xdm, though, I get a login screen, and when I login, xdm shuts down the X server, then restarts it, giving me another login screen. I posted this question to usenet, and got back the answer that there might be something wrong with my .xsession script, ie that >>... if your .xsession ends with something like >>---8<--- >>fvwm & # start fvwm window manager >>--->8--- >>you'll never get a useable session; the script will indeed launch >>fvwm >>(in the background) and then terminate, and xdm will take over again, >>kill all the clients and bring up the login screen. If you delete >>that '&' >>things will work. but I don't have an .xsession in my home directory, so I assume xdm will use /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession. Is this so? and if so, I haven't modified this script, and there are no &'s in it.

That is why I have this question: Is > there any documentation for the header files because the man pages do not > say anything about these files and the files themselves are only poor > commented. I don't really understand what documentation you want on header files; header files simply declare typenames, data structures, and function prototypes for the various library functions and system calls. In general, header files that are needed to perform a function will be found in the "SYNOPSIS" section of the man page for the function. > And, in addition to that, I would like to know with the help of which header > file I can erase the screen, display boxes or coloured text (my Zortech > Compiler for DOS used disp.h). You can't do that with any header file. You can, however, do screen formatting using the "curses" library. Try the command "man 3 erase". I'd recommend a good book or two on UNIX programming to start with. A good start would be "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" by W. Richard Stevens, known around here as APUE. It has good examples and will introduce you to many of the functions of UNIX. You should also know about the command "apropos", also known as "man -k". Typing "apropos topic" or "man -k topic" will search the "NAME" section of the man pages for the topic you're looking for. I found references to the ncurses library under topics "clear", "erase", and "box." The man pages may seem a little terse at the beginning, and don't provide much in the way of examples, but they are *quite* complete. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Yes, but if the message is correct and is generated by select(), then wouldn't the error code give us a clue: An error return from select() indicates: [EBADF] One of the descriptor sets specified an invalid descriptor. [EINTR] A signal was delivered before the time limit expired and before any of the selected events occurred. [EINVAL] The specified time limit is invalid. One of its components is negative or too large. [EINVAL] nfds was invalid. Either the time is invalid or the number of file descriptors is invalid. Could the new login.conf (openfiles?) have anything to do with this?

You may be able to improve netatalk with some tuning of the system (e.g. mounting the disk async or noatime) There are however bugs to do with routes.

The new server takes up a lot of memory (RES: 11M according to top). This causes it to be killed whenever I get low on VM. This is all well and good, except that XFree doesn't give up control of the console when it dies. My machine is effectively locked, since I don't have another machine I can use to contact it. Is there any way to "protect" a particular process from being killed when the system runs out of memory? That is, could I tell the system to sacrifice Netscape or something? Alternatively, is there a way that I could arrange to get control of the console after XFree is killed?

It was a clean re-install (I reformatted the disk). It is on an Intel 386 (25 or 33 MHz, I can't remember) with 8mb of RAM and a 500mb IDE hard drive. I have been using 2.1.0-R with no problems for over a year. Before I go on to the problems, I will say a few good things about 2.2.2. Using an antiquated 386, efficiency improvements in the operating system tend to be a little more apparent than for a late model pentium. The first thing I noticed is that FTP transfers of ~300 kilobyte files were almost maxing out the ethernet bandwidth at 900 to 1060 kbytes/sec, whereas I was used to seeing 180 to 300 kbytes/sec with 2.1.0-R. Wow! Samba performance also seems disctinctly more crisp and lower latency, although I can't quantify it. The bad news is that I have had several lockups or crashes in a variety of circumstances. There is no common thread really except to say that the machine is doing something when it crashes rather being in an idle state. I will give two examples. (1) A "host -l" to certain domains over pppd seemed to very reliably crash the system. This problem does not happen with user ppp, although the "host -l" process itself might die. (2) Creating a tar archive directly a floppy disk, "tar -cvf /dev/fd0 ..." also seemed to crash the system. I don't like crashing the system, so I have learned to avoid activities which do so, and now things seem to be working well. I don't expect any help with specific problems I mentioned, but what I am wondering is if the main FreeBSD systems programmers are all doing their work on reasonably up-to-date and fast machines, is it possible that they are missing some timing problems that might be picked up on older, slower computers?

I'm not sure it uses that, it may be looking for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc instead (this is on XFree86 3.2 tho). It's a good idea to make your own ~/.xsession anyway so you can make local customizations. Usually the last session will be run with 'exec', so in my .xsession I have: xsetroot -solid "#266294" xrdb -merge .Xresources exec fvwm the 'exec fvwm' makes fvwm the blocking process. To log out, I just quit fvwm from it's popup menu. (I'm running an ancient version of fvwm that starts up my xterms for me.) Note that if there are any problems, a ~/.xsession-errors will be created with the stdout/stderr output.

This would have updated you properly. Now your binaries and kernel are out of sync. You need to build and install a 2.2.2 kernel. The sources are available as src/ssys.* in the distribution. Just cd to /usr/src/ and run 'cat /path/to/ssys.* | tar xzf -' to extract the binaries, then rebuild a kernel as usual. If you need to know how to build a kernel, see the FreeBSD handbook.

There were several bugs in 2.2.2 that have been resolved in the 2.2-STABLE branch and will be available in the coming 2.2.5-RELEASE. In the meantime you can upgrade to -STABLE using the usual fetch-source-and-make-world or by contacting releng22.freebsd.org, which keeps built copies available for download daily. That may fix your random crashes. For your ppp problems, see http://www.freebsd.org/~brian. A new version of user PPP is available there that might clear up your problems. Crashes-under-load on PPP is a well known bug, but people have been reporting good results with the updated ppp. [note: for best results, your tar should be made to the raw floppy device /dev/rfd0 instead of the block device /dev/fd0.] Hope this helps!

This is an issue with your CDROM controller, which is probably a secondary IDE controller on your sound card. Unfortunately, the likelihood of detecting CDROMs that are attached to sound cards is very low. I would suggest moving your CDROM to the slave position on your primary IDE channel (to which your hard disk is connected to). Make sure you switch the jumpers on your hard disk so it will continue to work with your CD attached. Then try booting FreeBSD and see if the wdc probe finds it.

Thanks alot For the network settings, your IP and interface are configured in /etc/{rc.conf | sysconfig}, dependin gon your version of FreeBSD, and your DNS info is in /etc/resolv.conf. While you're off your network, I would disable the ifconfig for your network card and remove the default route, if you configured one. This will keep some of the erroneous routes from getting in there and messing things up.

Is that all you changed? > Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it? First, check the permissions for getty and login. They should be something like: # ls -l /usr/bin/login /usr/libexec/getty -r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin 24576 Aug 21 20:53 /usr/bin/login -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 24576 Aug 23 13:48 /usr/libexec/getty Note that login is suid root, and getty isn't suid (which makes it run as root, which should be OK). If these permissions aren't set correctly, change them and try again. If it still doesn't work, run ktrace on the getty: # ps aux|grep getty root 2009 3.1 1.0 252 620 p6 S+ 9:16AM 0:00.03 grep getty root 187 0.0 0.0 180 0 v1 Is+ 2:02PM 0:00.03 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyd0 # ktrace -i -p 187 The option -i says "trace children of this process". Otherwise, you won't get the trace of login, if it gets started. The "-p 187" says "trace process 187" (second column of the ps listing). ktrace will create a file called ktrace.out. When the process dies, look at it with the program kdump. In order to do this, you will need to configure bpf in your kernel. Make sure the config file for your running kernel has something like the following line in it: pseudo-device bpfilter 16 # Berkeley packet filter The number (16 in this example) should be at least 1.

I consider it highly unlikely that the VM system could be trained to do that, since it doesn't really understand the concept of a process too well. It doesn't pick on X, it just picks on a specific segment. > Alternatively, is there a way that I could arrange to get control of the > console after XFree is killed? We were argu^H^H^H^Htalking about that in -hackers a while back. There is some hope, but first the VM86 functions need to be implemented. For the moment, though, I think your problem has a simpler solution: add more virtual memory (aka swap space). This won't make the machine blindingly fast, but it should stop your server getting killed all the time. If you're low on swap space (something I may have contributed to in "The Complete FreeBSD"), consider setting it to at least 100 MB. To monitor swap usage, use the pstat program. For example, I have two swap partitions: # pstat -s Device 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/wd0s1b 51200 18944 32192 37% Interleaved /dev/sd0b 66036 18924 47048 29% Interleaved Total 117108 37868 79240 32% Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 23 17:18:33 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA23550 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 23 Aug 1997 17:18:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.sns.com (jack.sns.com [199.35.183.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id RAA23544 for ; Sat, 23 Aug 1997 17:18:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from speedy.pcscons.net by mail.sns.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #5) id m0x2QNb-0006yAC; Sat, 23 Aug 97 17:18 PDT Message-Id: <3.0.2.32.19970823171449.00832eb0@mail.sns.com> X-Sender: ludwigp@mail.sns.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.2 (32) Date: Sat, 23 Aug 1997 17:14:49 -0700 To: Annelise Anderson , Keith Leonard From: Ludwig Pummer Subject: Re: break-in???

I believe ppp will drop the appropriate lockfiles when it starts, so it should be able to run at the same time. Obviously, DON'T do this when someone is on by the modem -- apparently ppp will _disconnect_ them to start the dial! I'd recommend not running ppp in -auto mode if you'll be expecting callers or else they are going to be in for some fun surprises.

If so, what is the recommended amount of space? 100mb is the minumum for anything decent.

Swap is usually 2xRAM, go to 4xRAM if you're running X. This is relative to the amount of RAM you have; if you have 40MB or greater, you can afford a smaller swap partition.

What release are you working with? Could you post some of the error messages you're getting? Note that you *should*not* attempt to reinstall over a failed install -- it will only screw things up further. Blow it up with DOS FDISK and start over. I bet you're working with 2.2.2-- there are some serious bugs in 2.2.2 that can cause corruption in /etc/rc.conf. In this case, stay away from sysinstall once the system is actually copied over, ie don't do any post-install configuration. In this case, quit when it's finished copying, boot up the system, edit /etc/rc.conf and customize as you need. It's well commented so you should be able to get everything going. If you don't feel comfortable doing that or you can't even get _that_ far, contact releng22.freebsd.org and try installing that version (2.2-STABLE). It should fix the bugs you're seeing.

Unfortunately, FreeBSD requires it's own slice, so one of your DOS disks has gotta go and you need to resize the extended partition it lives in to make room. I think you may have misunderstood FreeBSD's requirements for installation; see http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html or INSTALL.TXT in the top level release directory on ftp.freebsd.org.

Your response seems very logical. I had neglected to mention my hard drive is a SCSI and my CD-Rom is not. My CD is connected to the IDE controller on the motherboard. After some research I realized I did not sepicy the "-device /dev/wcd0c" on the command line. After this I just created an alias to "xcd" all is well.

No, you probably used FIPS at some point in the past which shrank the disk but didn't adjust the cluster size. Partition Magic will fix this for you, but it costs money (a good buy I'm told). > If so, guess I have the extra CD from my 2.2.1-R CD for nothing? If you can get the CDROM to work under FreeBSD, then you can mount it and grab files off of it.

It looks like there is some kind of conflict preventing your internal modem from being detected. The only thing I can think of is disabling the other two com ports and seeing if it detects the si0 (com port 1) then. I unfortunately have no experience with internal modems. Does anyone know how to help Bob? Apparently when he boots the freebsd install disk it fails to detect the com ports (sio0 not found at 0x3f8) and he is subsequently unable to use the modem to dial up and install FreeBSD. thanks in advance Andrew Perry On Sat, 23 Aug 1997, bob olbrich wrote: > Date: Sat, 23 Aug 1997 20:17:12 -0500 > From: bob olbrich > Reply-To: 11923@gtc.gulftel.com, village@gtc.gulftel.com, > green@gtc.gulftel.com, drive@gtc.gulftel.com, > magnolia@gtc.gulftel.com, springs@gtc.gulftel.com, al@gtc.gulftel.com > To: perrya@python.shoal.net.au > Subject: com ports and setup utility > > Andrew, > > Yes, there is a way to change the addresses for the com ports. > But, as I said com1 is definitely the internal modem (3F8).The addresses > that show up > for the only other two ports (A & B) look like com2 and com3 (2F8 and > 3E8) > > >
