However, I need to write a complete IP packets-already have headers and options- to a specified network interface without minding about the interface topology. Someone in FreeBSD.org advised me to use the BPF. Therefore, I need to know where I can get the information about it. I can accept all source of information including text books.

I encounted problems when i had to enter a user(me) instead of going in as 'root'. After entering the infomation i get the message "The pw command exited with unexpected status 99" I clicked okay i and got sent back to the add user/add group dialog.

After all of that when i come to the "make last options" dialog and i click no it goes back to the main menu. It followed the same above process repeatedly and i have been at it for about 12+ hrs Any help will be welcomed at this moment speshy@juno.com From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 31 07:24:04 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id HAA06107 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 31 Aug 1997 07:24:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from monet.math.chalmers.se (root@monet.math.chalmers.se [129.16.167.74]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id HAA06085 for ; Sun, 31 Aug 1997 07:23:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from math.chalmers.se (t7o25p19.telia.com [195.198.161.139]) by monet.math.chalmers.se (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA21497; Sun, 31 Aug 1997 16:22:54 +0200 (MET DST) Message-Id: <199708311422.QAA21497@monet.math.chalmers.se> Date: Sun, 31 Aug 1997 16:22:26 +0200 (MET DST) From: maf@dtek.chalmers.se Subject: Re: Curly sendmail config problem To: reilly@zeta.org.au cc: questions@freebsd.org, nick@zeta.org.au In-Reply-To: <199708291332.XAA22919@gurney.reilly.home> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On 29 Aug , Andrew Reilly wrote: > I believe that the problem has only manifested itself with the > installation of tkrat because tkrat is the first MUA I have installed > that generates a "From:" header field, and I can't find a way to turn > that off.

Eitehr via SMTP or a program (like sendmail). Actually that is one kludgy workaround for your problem. Make a script which removes the From: headers and then passes it on to sendmail and use this script as sending program. > What is happening at the moment is that tkrat is filling out a From: > field with a fully qualified (but deliberately bogus) domain name I assume you know you can control which domain tkrat puts here via the masquerade_as option. > The "simplest" correct answer is to stop tkrat from generating a From: > header.

I've thought You could try to set masquerade_as to gurney. The the from header from tkrat should be andrew@gurney which might do the trick. Unfortunately I hev never needed the userdb feature of sendmail so I am afraid I can not help you much there. /MaF From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 31 07:30:27 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id HAA06268 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 31 Aug 1997 07:30:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tok.qiv.com ([204.214.141.211]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id HAA06263 for ; Sun, 31 Aug 1997 07:30:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by tok.qiv.com (8.8.6/8.8.5) with UUCP id JAA05909 for questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 31 Aug 1997 09:30:23 -0500 (CDT) Received: from localhost (jdn@localhost) by acp.qiv.com (8.8.6/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA00366 for ; Sun, 31 Aug 1997 09:30:18 -0500 (CDT) X-Authentication-Warning: acp.qiv.com: jdn owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 31 Aug 1997 09:30:18 -0500 (CDT) From: "Jay D.

You are entirely correct from a technical point of view and I should have been a little more careful with my wording. The first character in a string is denoted as 1 in the substr(), and when an array is created by split(), the first token is pointed to by the [1] index. This was a little counter-intuitive to me at first. However, arrays in their most general form in awk are associative and don't really have anything to do with numeric indexes.

Then I am missing something pretty fundamental. :-) 137.158.128.1 sends a packet to 137.158.128.10:23, which is redirected with source address 137.158.128.1 and dst address 137.158.128.7:23. 137.158.128.7 gets the packet and starts up a connection to 137.158.128.1, which is not expecting to see packets from 137.158.128.7, but 137.158.128.10, so it will ignore them. Surely that won't work (well, I can't get it to work :-) )? > Did you really leave out the ``-'' above (before redirect_address) ? > I would suggest that this is the problem :-) Ack - I did leave it out in my test!

I have the freebsd connection to the net (on ed0) working fine, but am having trouble configuring the 2 machines to do the rest of the job. Let me explain what I have so far: The FreeBSD machine is hooked up no problem, using the DNS, gateway, etc, from the ISP. A second lan connecting the 2 machines (using a crossover cable) is set up, with the freebsd assigned the IP 192.168.1.1. The ip for the connection to the net is 24.112.48.46. The Win95 machine is set up with the IP 192.168.2.1, the gateway set to the FreeBSD machine (192.168.2.1), and DNS to the one from my net provider. Can anyone tell me if this configuration is correct, and what needs to be done to tell the freebsd machine to send packets meant for the internet to the ed0 interface? I haven't found a decent document explaining all of this - please do let me know if I've missed it somewhere!

The install program gives you complete freedom of where to put your FreeBSD partitions, even to the extent of making the system unbootable.

Natd is really designed to sit between a private and a public network. The private network knows about public network addresses (and uses the machine that runs natd as a gateway). The public network (usually the internet) only knows about the gateway box. Natd is smart enough to then route packets that were *really* sent from some private machine back to that machine. The -redirect_address option allows incoming connections from the public network (the Internet) to get routed directly to a machine on the private net. However, only the destination address is changed. When the machine on the private network gets the connection, it sends stuff back to the real public-network machine, routing through the gateway. The gateway un-alters the packet so that the public machine sees it as a connection to the gateway box. Your setup is with three machines on the same network. Because (as you've pointed out) the receiving machine (137.158.128.7) knows how to get back to the sending machine, and does so without going through the gateway, the sending machine will just drop all of the reply packets as being garbage. The only way you'll get this setup to work is to put the source and destination machines on different networks with the natd machine on a gateway in between. I'll bet (at a guess) that this isn't going to suit :( A simpler solution is to disable port 23 on the 137.158.128.10 machine in inetd.conf, and write your own program that listens on port 23 and does smart things based on the source address (ie, spawns a child that opens a connection to 137.158.128.7 and does the select/read/ write bit between the two), or just spawns a telnetd.

Well, I suppose it's a matter of opinion whether that's an easy way to solve the problem. It requires a lot of keyboard input. Here's one which I would use. To compile, just: $ cc stripcr.c -o stripcr It's a filter: that is, you run it like this: $ stripcr outfile The reason for this isn't laziness: that way, you can pipe things into it.

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

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

Once you are no longer new to UNIX, you'll understand why. ;^) As Mr. Dean said, the compiler and assembler shipped with FreeBSD, along with most of the software development tools, are the GNU tools from the Free Software Foundation. For more information, see www.fsf.org or the gnu.* newsgroups. For examples of source code and Makefiles that work with FreeBSD and the GNU tools, type the following on your FreeBSD system: find /usr/src \( -name '*.c' -o -name '*.cc' -o -name '*.s' \) -print This should list several hundred files (at least) that work quite nicely with FreeBSD and the GNU compiler and assembler. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

You may also want to read "man vidcontrol". If you think the documentation is lacking, let us know exactly what its shortcomings are; for example, what information you want that isn't included.

If you are confused between /dev/cuaa? and /dev/tty?, which are both serial ports, then I don't think it matters much. Anyone know otherwise? On my machine, /dev/mouse is a symlink to /dev/cuaa1. You might want to see if you have a /dev/mouse symlinked to a port, and change its target if necessary.

You won't be able to install it over the cable modem, but you can download the files to a dos partition over the modem, and install that way. Instructions for that are with the distribution you want to download. The thing will run on your system if the ethernet card is supported, which it most likely is. You will need a dhcp client, there is one in ports, and one at www.isc.org.

Network them together with a samba server on the FBSD/Linux motherboard. One day, the windows emulators might be good enough to "just work". However, this will give you the day-to-day reliability of a U**X clone providing file and networking services TODAY, with the ability to run MS-OFFICE (which is the real draw/virus onto the Microsoft platform.) You can even dual-boot the 2nd motherboard running the Microsoft based OS, since one often boots the NT or Win95 system anyway. Then you can run U**X and X by default, until you get that ugly Powerpoint file. One problem with running WindowsNT and U**X side-by-side, is that it is easy to get used to being able to heavly load a U**X system -- and then trying to heavily load NT, and seeing the system hang/crash or whatever (OS Behaving Badly.) Or worse (more often), being used to mouse focus on U**X (which I prefer), then getting frustrated using NT's click-to-focus. That little utilty that allows tuning the window manager to change focus method and other things never fully worked on NT for me (the 95 version worked on 95 though.) I have been using the Laola package for .doc files to read, decode them, and store them away in a more sane format.

Ok, I am getting closer to understanding the fundamentals of natd (I think I am going to have to write something for the handbook if I ever get this working). :-) I have been thinking the other way around. I have a machine on the private/internal network wishing to access the public network. i.e: The connection is initiated the opposite to what you mention. > Your setup is with three machines on the same network. Because (as > you've pointed out) the receiving machine (137.158.128.7) knows how > to get back to the sending machine, and does so without going through > the gateway, the sending machine will just drop all of the reply > packets as being garbage. The real situation is a little more complex, but I was using that example as a simpler test. My ultimate aim is to setup a proxy configuration to, but I am learning with "simpler" stuff. I did configure the receiving machine's (137.158.128.7) arp/routing table to forward the packets back to the natd machine (and it was getting them).

My first requirement is to setup a proxy archie server (there will be others, so I want something generic). A machine with a single interface and outside the firewall will act as the proxy, re-addressing packets as if it is sending them out and fixing the return packets. i.e: Point your archie client at this machine and it will forward your request to the real server and send the results back. > A simpler solution is to disable port 23 on the 137.158.128.10 machine > in inetd.conf, and write your own program that listens on port 23 and > does smart things based on the source address (ie, spawns a child > that opens a connection to 137.158.128.7 and does the select/read/ > write bit between the two), or just spawns a telnetd. That is another option, although I am just confused as to why my test doesn't work. Perhaps I am just under the impression that natd can do more than it really can. I was using natd's 'alias address' assuming it would use that as the source address for outgoing packets, but it seems not. :-( Does someone have a working natd configuration that they don't mind sending me to modify as a baseline to start with?

And we dont know how to fix it. This is hard to answer without seeing the source of your CGIs, which you may or may not want to share. What does the error log (generally at logs/error_log) tell you? Often this gives you enough to start debugging if you haven't checked there already. If you find some particularly troublesome issues, why don't you try asking on comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi?

Here's what I see: --- root@vger:/usr/local/src/apache_1.2.4/cgi-pack$ make count gcc -c -g count.c count.c: In function `main': count.c:98: incompatible types in assignment *** Error code 1 Stop. --- Because I really have very little C programming experience under Unix (that's something I'm working on ;-), I wasn't sure what to make of it. The only modifications I've made to the original count.c are changing the #include to #include (I don't know if that was wise...but that seemed to be the file the mod_auth_dbm files in Apache's source directory were calling), and setting the COUNT_DIR to where I want the log files. This is probably pretty simple (I'm guessing!) but I'm not sure how to approach this. Alternatively, if anyone's happened across a good (+ simple) counter program that'll work under Apache 1.2.4, I'd appreciate an email.

The Greek means "shining one". Interestnigly enough another cognate word is "diamond", a shining thing.

I pulled down the source for the new sysinstall, built it, and told it to go to 22-releng.freebsd.org to do the upgrade. Well, it dutifully went and started grabbing stuff, but it never gave me a chance to tell it what snap to grab. Am I downloading the latest snap? If not, how would I specify that? It's a 2.2.1-R -> 2.2-Stable upgrade, and if it gets munged, the boss has to do it from the console, which is fine since he has to do some hardware mods tomorrow anyway. Also, do I gain anything from upgrading via make world as opposed to an upgrade with sysinstall? I have a pentium II system and I specify CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe and COPTFLAGS= -O2 -pipe in /etc/make.conf because my understanding is that will give me a little better performance overall. (The -O2, not the -pipe obviously. :) Also, does the HAVE_FPU flag in make.conf help anything other than the sun libm? I saw a message to that effect here a little while ago, but forgot to follow up. High performance is a priority on this system, so every little tweak helps.

I later found out it's better for me to go with FreeBSD-Current :) But, I was curious as to why(and people are asking on IRC, too) they took out /stand/sysconfig in Snap shot version 3. There also some other things about it that I find challenging, but unusual! One of them was the fact that you had only 4 ttys when you first installed, and had to make 8 from doing a "/dev/MAKEDEV vty4", all the way up to vty7 and add them to /etc/ttys. I also don't know how to get rid of the devices that show up in startup that say they aren't assigned to any port address(they give the specific addresses, which I like about FreeBSD). I think FreeBSD, however is the best OS that came out of them all. If you don't understand error messages then don't use Unix! :) Even though I am going to install the current version, I am curious as to what changed! Thanks and please reply to as much as these questions, as I also see these issues related on IRC(mostly concerning the FreeBSD2.2 and up). :) P.S. Btw, is FreeBSD Posix compliant?

To understand why, you need to understand what the Boot: prompt does. When, it appears, it gives you about 5 seconds to enter something. If you don't, it'll try to boot the file /kernel from its default partition, normally /dev/sd0a (SCSI) or /dev/wd0a (IDE). If you install a custom kernel, you have the choice of renaming the old one, say, /kernel.GENERIC, and installing the new kernel as /kernel. Or you can leave the generic kernel where it is, and install the new kernel as, say, /kernel.ALLMINE. In either case, if you want to boot the kernel not called /kernel, you just enter its name at the Boot: prompt. Obviously, it's better to name the kernel you use more often /kernel. Having said that, there are some problems involved with multiple kernels. Some of the programs in /sbin and /usr/sbin are sensitive to the version of the kernel. ps, in particular, will often not work with a kernel of a different version. On the other hand, you shouldn't see any problems with kernels built from the same version but with different config files.

However, it seems the silly thing won't boot the FreeBSD floppy! I'm using an Asus TX 97E main board, with bios support for booting from ls120/zip-drives. What happens when I boot the FreeBSD-disk, the familar boot options appear (wd(0,a)kernel, fd(0,a)kernel etc), but when I just press enter, the floppy disk starts working but can't find no kernel image. I know the disk is working on a different machine. The LS-120 is connected to my primary ide-interface as slave. I'm not sure what FreeBSD would call that in the boot-menu? And would it be possible to find the kernel image on the disk if it was referred to as an ide-device? What would it be called? wd(0,b)? Or wd(1,a)? As I upgraded from a laptop computer, I have no spare floppy drives lying about, so basically I'm stuck now with Windows. ,-) Thanks, Ronny Jordalen From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 1 19:17:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA07732 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 1 Sep 1997 19:17:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.mexcom.net (mail.mexcom.net [206.103.64.97]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA07717 for ; Mon, 1 Sep 1997 19:17:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sunix (eculp@sunix.mexcom.net [206.103.64.3]) by mail.mexcom.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id VAA14644; Mon, 1 Sep 1997 21:17:09 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <340B771D.7F7CDBA6@mexcom.net> Date: Mon, 01 Sep 1997 21:17:01 -0500 From: Edwin Culp Organization: Mexico Communicates, S.C.

It is implemented as a user-level NFS server, and works okay for occasional file access. You run "rumba //machine/share /mountpoint", and it mounts the remote share. There are commandline options for specifying who you log in as, and what owner/permissions to display on the Unix side. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 1 21:19:29 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id VAA12554 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 1 Sep 1997 21:19:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mixer.visi.com (root@mixer.visi.com [204.73.178.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id VAA12549 for ; Mon, 1 Sep 1997 21:19:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mark (195-14.dynamic.visi.com [206.11.195.14]) by mixer.visi.com (8.8.6/8.7.5) with ESMTP id XAA26045 for ; Mon, 1 Sep 1997 23:19:22 -0500 (CDT) Posted-Date: Mon, 1 Sep 1997 23:19:22 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <340B946B.E55B10DE@chcm.com> Date: Mon, 01 Sep 1997 23:22:03 -0500 From: Mark X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [en] (WinNT; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: question regarding multiboot w/ windows NT X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk In the faq, section 8.7, there is a description of the boot.ini file modified to include FreeBSD and Unix.

You will probably have to run this program from DOS. (You can use a floppy for this purpose.) If it is another brand of disk drive, check that manufacturer's website for corresponding software. Also, as you might guess, the end is probably near for that drive. Get a replacement whenever you can afford it. As for the power center, it is fine as long as the disk gets synced before the CPU is halted. Paul Missman >Greetings, > >I'm limping along with soft read errors on the /usr and /var file >systems.

You might try: 1. Bumping up kern.maxprocperuid via sysctl: sysctl -w kern.maxprocperuid From sysctl(3): KERN_MAXPROCPERUID The maximum number of concurrent processes the system will allow for a single effective uid. This limit only applies to processes with an effective uid of nonzero at the time of a fork request. Processes that have already been started are not affected if the limit is changed. 2. Bumping up CHILD_MAX in the kernel. From /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT: # # Under some circumstances it is convenient to increase the defaults # for the maximum number of processes per user and the maximum number # of open files files per user. E.g., (1) in a large news server, user # `news' may need more than 100 concurrent processes. (2) a user may # need lots of windows under X. In both cases, it may be inconvenient # to start all the processes from a parent whose soft rlimit on the # number of processes is large enough. The following options work by # changing the soft rlimits for init. # options CHILD_MAX=128 See `http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/perf-bsd44.html#detail' for some more good hints. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ If at first you don't succeed, give up, no use being a damn fool.

The *second* time I went into the NT side, whereupon my computer loudly complained that it couldn't find ntldr. So then the third time I went into DOS whereupon my ever-eager Norton utilities had informed me that all hell had broken loose inside my MBR, and would I like it to fix it for me. I said sure, so it restored it, brought back ntldr from the dead, and in the process totally blew away any evidence that FreeBSD had ever attemped to install.

Any ideas, or explanations on how I am using this command wrong/havn't read the man pages carefully enough would be appreciated. Please reply via email.

I thought you could mount then unmount, then remount with another disk to access different zip disks, like with all other removable media, but if I do when I try this I get: #mount -t msdos /dev/wd1s1 /zip #ls /zip archive1 contents.txt #umount /zip #mount -t msdos /dev/wd1s1 /zip /dev/wd1s1: IO error (this isn't exactly the message, but it is similar) I thought I could do this before, but am not sure, will this work for anybody else? It does basically the same thing from DOS, but works correctly in Win95.

The `machine' identifies the architecture under which the kernel is designed to run under. Since FreeBSD is designed to run under the Intel i386 architecture (386 and compatible processors) it will report 'i386.' This is also used to define machine-dependent code in the kernel to compile, ie there is a /usr/src/sys/i386 heirarchy. In the future DEC Alpha port there will be a machine type `alpha' in addition to `i386.' The Pentium chips don't require a different board architecture, they still use the standard i386 components such as the ISA bus, memory access and so forth. So calling it i586 on Pentium-class machines is really a misnomer. If the Pentium chip was something completely new and different it would earn that designation. You could probably rename i386 to i586 if it bothered you, but you'd have to check all the source files to make sure there are no direct references to /sys/i386. The CPU line enables CPU-specific instructions in the kernel where appropriate and enables the kernel to detect Pentium-class processors properly. Hope this helps.

Is is stable now? 2.2.2 was always along the 2.2-STABLE track. The -STABLE designation means that the line has been well tested in production though various versions and changes that are to be made should be well tested in -CURRENT. The -STABLE branch itself is continually in development; current snapshots can be retrieved from releng22.freebsd.org. There will be a 2.2.5-RELEASE that will be based on this branch. Hope this helps; the web pages do a better job of explaining the various branches.

I know that none of the system standard utilites that I run do this. You might try changing the owner and group to something else, which should keep the offending program from changing the permissions, unless it's running suid root, which would help limit your search.

However, in typical Micro$oft fashion, Win95 would destroy your partitions if you had these partition types and did "Restart in MS DOS mode" under certain conditions (the patch for this is called the 'disk-type specific update' or something like that). However, running Win95's FDISK with the undocumented /X switch (typical M$) made it use the old, standard DOS partition types. I don't even think there's any practical difference between the new partition types and the old ones. --Ludwig Pummer ------------------------------------------------------------------ ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org PGP Key & Geek Code available on web page ^-- Updated 07/01/97 From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 1 22:47:02 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id WAA16646 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 1 Sep 1997 22:47:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (cisco-ts15-line15.uoregon.edu [128.223.150.198]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id WAA16640 for ; Mon, 1 Sep 1997 22:46:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id WAA03179; Mon, 1 Sep 1997 22:46:43 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 1 Sep 1997 22:46:42 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: andrew@ugh.net.au cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: EOF on /var/run/_secure from /etc/security In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 2 Sep 1997, Admin wrote: > I was wondering what would cause this (see below).

I don't think any of the HP Ethernet cards are supported currently. I believe, and I probably have my HP part numbers wrong, that this is the HP AnyLAN card, which is some pretty odd iron. I don't think anything but MS software actually supports the thing. The system should work OK. You can try it by booting the boot floppy; you'll know in a hurry if it doesn't like it.

I suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to teach mount how to check for write-protectedness (I assume there is an ioctl() to do it, or implementing a standard ioctl() on all devices to check it shouldn't be that hard, this coming from a non-kernel hacker). You might consider asking hackers@freebsd.org about it. They may be able to add any suggestions.

Swap problems would manifest itself in other forms, such as other log entries, and kernel bugs that result in this are pretty rare in -RELEASEs. The fault address of 0x68 is somewhat suspect.

Well, /dev/ttyXX are physical devices. You'll notice that there are different types of tty devices, particulary ttyd* for dial-in devices and ttyv* for virtual terminals. You'd be more interested in the difference between pty* and ttyp*, which is well explained in the pty(4) man page. For design and implementation, I don't think there's much online documentation except what's in the man pages and in /usr/share/doc/. If you're interested in these topics, the book ``The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System'' (aka the daemon book) is required reading. I forgot where, but FreeBSD users can obtain this book cheaply through an online bookstore, check the -questions archives.

Apparently the Zip is getting into an inconsistent state. Is this using a new disk or trying to re-mount the old disk? I didn't know that IDE ZIPs worked; what does the probe message look like? It may be that the kernel doesn't recognize it as removable device and thinks it's a normal hard disk instead.

I have a ASUS motherboard that generates them when the serial port is closed; I just ignore them, and the kernel will too eventually. So, to answer the question, it's normal on some systems, and apparently yours is one of them. It caused me grief with a QuickCam attached, which would cause the system to panic when I closed my X session.

Hm, sysinstall doesn't like you. You can do all this manually after you get started. Go ahead and set the timezone, then exit post-install and the installer. Reboot. Once you get FreeBSD started, login as `root' with no password. Run the program `adduser' to create an account for yourself. When you're done, run `passwd' to set a password for root (aka the system admin). When done, `exit' then log in as yourself.

The bpf(4) man page would be a good place to start. Questions about the interface should be routed to hackers@freebsd.org. tcpdump acutally uses a library to access the bpf, and was recommended on -hackers recently that you use that instead of trying to grok the device directly since the bpf interface is a little bit twisted. You'll have to ask them again though.

I can't see any reason to believe that this is related to swap. All we can see is a pretty non-specific error (hint: this corresponds to another vendor's General Protection Fault. Sorry, we can't always come up with more accurate information). > The fault address of 0x68 is somewhat suspect.

There's no reason to believe that this is Perl's fault. Perl runs in user space, and by definition things in user space shouldn't be able to crash the system. How often has this happened? It could be a sporadic hardware failure. If it happens more often, check if it's always perl. If you have the kernel debugger running, try to get a trace. Otherwise, try to get a dump and send us a backtrace. See chapter 20 of the online handbook (currently http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook264.html#593) for what to do.

V.35 is an electrical spec, and thus FreeBSD doesn't need to do more than support the board you use. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't support X.21. Even the X.25 support died for lack of love.

FreeBSD is both easier and harder to start with than Linux. The visual configuration editor forces you to be disciplined and understand what all the hardware interrupts should be. Having transitioned from Linux, I discovered all of the performance sapping interrupt conflicts that were in the system using Linux autoprobing. The visual configuration editor is really exceptional and is much better than having to pass parameters with the lilo.conf file. The boot manager is another transition issue. Then there are all the minor differences in directory layout and rc files. It is actually not bad to switch systems for less experienced unix users like myself, because then it is more clear what is universal about unix and what is regional.

Does it mean "run the > command [and exit]" ? It doesn't seem to be documented under "man > su". Is it documented elsewhere? Yes, it is just like the '-c' option for sh. Instead of starting an interactive shell, the argument is passed to the shell for execution. I just double checked the su manpage and found this. Aparently all non-su args are simply passed to the su'd shell, so you need to look at the sh man page for an explination of the '-c' flag. Unfortunately, there is no mention of the '-c' flag on the sh man page. > If the optional args are provided on the command line, they are passed to > the login shell of the target login.

The screen goes white when you try to change to text mode. Network support doesn't work. Our network uses DHCP and that is not supported, so those who created the template just left network support out. I don't know how to get DHCP going, or even tell what implementation is used here. AARRRGGGHH! What are the chances that I can upgrade to freeBSD without too many problems? All I really want is a unix laptop system that works with our DHCP implementation and 800x600 graphics. I looked through all of the netscape site and I did not see anthing on freebsd Netscape. Is there really any good reason to abandon Linux for FreeBSD?

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 Suppose I construct a /home partition on a host in the following way: mkdir /home mount /dev/wd0c /home mount /dev/sd0f /homea mount /dev/sd1f /homeb mount /dev/sd2f /homec mount_null /homea/robert /home/robert mount_null /homea/simon /home/simon mount_null /homeb/lucy /home/lucy mount_null /homeb/cvs /home/cvs mount_null /homec/george /home/george mount_null /homec/sam /home/sam So I have a nice consistent /home set up on this machine -- all users home directories appear as /home/whatever, but they are on different partitions to deal with real-world hardware. I would like to be able to export this arrangement to other machines -- is there a way to do this using: 1. Unmodified nfsd/mountd under FreeBSD, on the server, such that a client just mounts server:/home and gets access to all the directories. 2. A way to do this using trivially or mildly modified nfsd/mountd under FreeBSD on the server, such that the client sees server:/home and gets access to all the directories. Or do I have to mount /home, /homea, /homeb, /homec on each client, and construct the nullfs hierarchy on each? Also, with regard to file system quotas -- does a nullfs mount use the quota system from the source of the mount? e.g., will user robert be restricted by the quota arrangement on /homea, where his home directory is found, or because it counts as a different mountpoint, will he be quota-free?

I'm trying to get my PCMCIA modem working. When I start up, FreeBSD didn't recognize si1 (which is where my modem is). Fine. I went into the GENERIC kernel, and uncommented out the laptop section, which has device lines like pcic0, etc., then recompiled the kernel. Now it starts up, and the pcic driver (or whatever it is) recognizes a card in slot 1 at IRQ3 ... Perfect! (but it still doesn't find any si1 at IRQ3, maybe that's ok?) What next? In other words, how do I tell FreeBSD that the card is a modem, and then configure the modem for dialup PPP? I realize that's two or three questions in one, but I've done a little research in the handbook, but you know how it is ... Joel Gwynn PS. Thanks to andrew@ugh.net.au and dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu who answered my question about the broken /sys link. Of course, the real answer was to first install the /sys source, which I hadn't done --duh.

Don't know about "Coaxial Cable Modem" ... is this a brand name or just the generic term? I have a wireless cable modem from Hybrid (the ISP is WarpDrive), and it uses DHCP, but the modem is apparently preconfigured with the addresses, so my IP address is already known. You might have the same situation (where the DHCP is only used to be more end user friendly, and not necessarily to change your IP address frequently). If that is the case, just run "winipcfg" under Win95 to figure out your own IP address, your DNS IP address, and your gateway IP address. Using this info, you can configure your FreeBSD precisely the same way (even during initial download).

We use squid (ready to install in the packages) and it works quite good.... very simple installation and configuration... Btw ... A questions for the experts... Is possible that the proxy slow down the connection if a lot of users use it ? I'll try to explain better : If everyone use the ethernet band of the proxy (instead of using the "modem band" in the case of no proxy) for downloading and surfing is possible that all the system slow down ? I hope it is clearer , but I am not so sure :-) Regards...

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 glanced at the thread about checking to see if a floppy is write protected. Unfortuantely, I did not check it closely enough to know for sure which list it came from. However, since I didn't remember seeing the inevitable "don't ask -hackers" response, I assumed it was to -questions, so that is where my reply is going... I have three scripts for each of my floppy drives which take care of mounting, unmounting, and checking the floppy. They work for me and my limited uses of them. Your mileage, as they say, my vary. Here they are, for your personal pleasure and enjoyment. You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll hurl... ;) Remember, we're talking about msdos compatible floppies here. Also, I have a /floppy directory which I use as the base for the floppy drives. I also have /floppy/A and /floppy/B for, you guessed it, the A and B floppy drives. This has long ago since become nothing more than a nomenclature for this system since FreeBSD is the only os on it. But since I have a large "A" on the 3.5" and "B" on the 5.25" drives, it still has some meaning to me. In each of the two directories, I have a file called "nothing.is.mounted" (touch /floppy/A/nothing.is.mounted) which can only be seen if no floppy drive has been mounted. So to set up for these scripts, do the following (logged in with root permissions): * mkdir /floppy * mkdir /floppy/A * mkdir /floppy/B * touch /floppy/A/nothing.is.mounted * touch /floppy/B/nothing.is.mounted * chmod -R 777 /floppy * chown -R root.wheel /floppy Just for giggles and grins, I also have a /scripts directory into which I place all sorts of fun things like these. But that's a different story... This script checks to see if a floppy looks like it has been mounted. It assumes you know what you want, so if it sees something that looks like it has been mounted it will unmount it first. Finally, it mounts the floppy using mount_msdos. There are some who don't like using the mount_xxx commands, and their arguments are good. If you don't like that plan, pitch these scripts. #!/bin/csh -f # # Mount the A floppy drive. # echo "Mounting the A floppy (3.50)..." if ! ( -e /floppy/A/nothing.is.mounted ) then echo " -- already mounted, removing old version" umount /floppy/A endif mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy/A && goto GotIt echo " -- error mounting floppy" exit GotIt: echo " -- floppy mounted" This will just unmount the floppy. #!/bin/csh -f # # Unmount the A floppy drive. # echo "Unmounting the A floppy..." if ( -e /floppy/A/nothing.is.mounted ) then echo " -- nothing mounted" exit endif umount /floppy/A This one assumes a floppy has been mounted but does not assume what the path to it is. Actually, I use this on more than just my FreeBSD server, so it had to have something just a little different. It checks the df -k command for the /dev/fd0 line, grabs the path from it, and tries to create a dummy file there. If the file can be created, guess what -- the floppy is writeable. SO..... That's what I try to do. Write a file then check for it. IF it's there, remove it and tell me the floppy is writeable. #!/bin/csh -f # # This will check to see if the floppy is write-protected. # -- this assumes the A drive is /dev/fd0 # echo "Checking to see if floppy is writable" # # Grab the pathname from the df command # set fdir = `df -k|grep /dev/fd0|awk '{print $6}'` # # See if we got something. # if ( "$fdir" == "" ) then echo " -- df could not find the floppy drive" exit endif # # Try to write something there. # touch $fdir/goober.goo >>& /dev/null # # See if it is there. # if ! ( -e $fdir/goober.goo ) then echo " -- floppy write protected" exit endif # # If we are here, the floppy is writeable # rm -f $fdir/goober.goo echo " -- floppy is writeable" # # done # I have a set of scripts called mountA, umountA, and checkA (the ones which are enclosed). I also have mountB, umountB, and checkB. That rounds out my msdos floppy set. I also used some stuff from Greg Lehey's book to make a mounta and mountb -- notice the case of A/B. If anyone cares, I can toss those into a message as well.

Since it started with the FreeBSD upgrade, I think it's a FreeBSD problem, not a squid problem. At the squid-users list, they suggested to compile a new kernel with options "MAXDSIZ=(256*1024*1024)" options "DFLDSIZ=(256*1024*1024)" but I've never used these. Instead, I use sysctl and ulimit to get this in the squid startup script. Also, since this seems to be a problem with resource management, maybe this is related: Also after the FreeBSD upgrade, I'm receiving these messages: Sep 2 12:20:00 gaia /kernel: calcru: negative time: -2133 usec Sep 2 12:29:03 gaia /kernel: calcru: negative time: -909 usec Sep 2 12:30:00 gaia /kernel: calcru: negative time: -1207 usec Sep 2 12:40:00 gaia /kernel: calcru: negative time: -2156 usec Sep 2 12:46:20 gaia /kernel: calcru: negative time: -584 usec Sep 2 12:46:25 gaia /kernel: calcru: negative time: -343 usec Sep 2 12:46:26 gaia /kernel: calcru: negative time: -171 usec Sep 2 12:50:26 gaia /kernel: calcru: negative time: -2087 usec Sep 2 13:30:00 gaia /kernel: calcru: negative time: -2096 usec Sep 2 14:01:46 gaia /kernel: calcru: negative time: -353 usec Does someone know what's happening ?

I think more on modems. Seems to be a mystery to people growing out of single user systems. I'm willing to contribute if it's any help. From the questions I see, something more on the nature of disks -- cylinders/sectors, etc. Although I have to admit, I don't know where to go with this since I think what is already written is clear. For me -- I'd like to see some appendices on parts of FreeBSD that are either incomplete (LFS, lockd, etc) or have gone beyond what is common in commercial OSs (NFSv3, etc) and a road map into the future through 3.0. Also, an appendix on performance tuning would be nice, but I think this may go beyond the scope of your book. Writing a book like this about a dynamic system for an audience that covers the gamut from newcomers to the grizzled old timers is difficult. You've done a good job.

And, aparently AMD has fixed the bug(s) in the latest stepping of the chip. The site above has all the links to discussions, tests, etc. There may have been discussion in the freebsd-hardware groups also. I have been running FreeBSD 2.2.2 with a K6 for over a month, and no problems. But, read the site to get some idea of which chips might be safe and which one's are not. It seems that there may be some hazy area where it isn't easy to tell by date code which chips are good for FreeBSD/Linux and which are not.

The tape driver will not skip past these marks, which signify that nothing more is present on the tape. On the other hand, it's obvious that there are exceptions to this rule. I'm copying -hackers on this one; possibly somebody will consider it a good idea to have an exceptional way of skipping past the tape marks.

I believe the problem is in the string library someplace. Ive noted that since 2.1.5, programs that make use of functions like strncmp, strcat, etc will sig 11 when they didnt used to. Instead of returning a null or a zero they cause a dump. Especially in instances such as searching for a substring if the string you are searching in has nothing in it (just 1 char '\0').

If the modems won't connect, try putting a few commas after the dialup string. That way, it gets past the initial tone. This trick has worked for quite a few modems. Oh, we've seen problems with almost every brand of WinModem available. Also, V.42bis in the current 3.7 release of the PM-3 code is broken. On modems that are having a hard time staying online turn off V.42bis and/or error correction.

My setup: 1. I have user PPP setup on my servers to handle incoming calls. 2. I want to authenticate users via the password file (enable passwauth) and PAP - it seems the cleanest way - no plain text ppp.secret, etc. 3. My users dial in and log on using their normal accounts and password. Once they get a prompt, ppp can be started with a script: #!/bin/sh # # PPP Server DIAL-UP (/usr/sbin/ppplogin) # # -> find out which line is trying to connect and use different # labels for each line # tt=`tty` # # if [ $tt = "/dev/ttyd1" ]; then exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct ttyd1 elif [ $tt = "/dev/ttyd2" ]; then exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct ttyd2 fi # exit 4. Client scripts can handle the authentication procedure above quite easily, and users don't get confused about when to enter which password, etc. - entering their name and password once is enough (the Win95 client will save this information, for example) My problem: 1. Users get a connection established without problems, but: 2. When a connection is closed the shell stays open (somehow the shell does not seem to exit properly when the ppp process dies). In any case, the tty is tyed up, and the modem will not answer the line anymore - or even worse, will allow a user to get a ppp connection without any authentication! 3. I would prefer not to have to create duplicate accounts for every one of my users who wishes to connect via ppp (and set the shell of their ppp accounts to be the script above - this setup never hangs...) and neither would I like to use the ppp.secret method. Is there any possible solution to my problem? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.

That would be an incredibly stupid thing to do, and nobody's going to do that. However, there have been problems with the PM3 recently, with some people saying it's a problem in the new ComOS 3.7 (affecting both the old and the new modem cards), and others saying it's a problem with the new K56Flex modem cards and their software in the PM3. It appeared to be mostly a problem with the "cheaper" modems (and hence usually lower quality), and several brands of USR. Last I knew, it was not resolved, although I am nearly a week behind in reading the portmaster-users mailing list. [If you have a PM3 and are seeing problems, I strongly recommend subscribing to the portmaster-users mailing list. Go for the digest version, though, unless you have a good way to automatically separate the incoming mail, as it is an -extremely- active list.

The script then executes ppp without forking to /bin/sh is gone, but the original shell is not. Hmm. If you could get your users to exec your script you'd probably be okay, either by explaining it to them or by using a shell alias or you could get the script to kill their shell for you (you'll need to use a pretty stiff signal) after ppp exits.

DATA: I downloaded the four following packages from Kaffe pages: A) kaffe-0.9.1.tgz B) kaffe-0.9.1-package-biss-net.com.tgz C) kaffe-0.9.1-package-javasoft.com.tgz D) kaffe-0.9.1-package-epfl.ch.tgz Then I also dowloaded the ports package, I untar it in the untared other four files directory (/usr/local/share/kaffe-0.9.1/). I installed it as if it were a Linux OS... with four commands: make distclean ../configure make make install and worked!!!!! But just the terminal output. I run a kind of Hello World program. The AWT interface doesn´t work. I tried to run a graphics "HelloWorld" applet and it says it can´t find the AWT library (but... what about biss-net and/or epfl?). Well, I´ve tried a lot of CLASSPATHs: 1)CLASSPATH=/usr/local/share/kaffe:/usr/local/share/kaffe/biss:. 2)CLASSPATH=/usr/local/share/kaffe/classes.zip:/usr/local/share/kaffe-0.9.1/ packages/biss-net.com/APIawt/classes/biss.zip:. 3)CLASSPATH=/usr/local/share/kaffe-0.9.1/packages/javasoft.com/APIcore/class es:. 4)CLASSPATH=/usr/local/share/kaffe-0.9.1/packages/javasoft.com/APIcore/class es/classes.zip:/usr/local/share/kaffe-0.9.1/packages/biss-net.com/APIawt/cla sses/biss.zip:/usr/local/share/kaffe-0.9.1/packages/epfl.ch/APIawt/classes/s awt.zip:/usr/local/share/kaffe-0.9.1/packages/tjwassoc.co.uk/APIzip/lib/java .util.zip:. The first one is really the last one. I did it after unziping the zip files, but no way. All have worked with the simple "Helloworld" I think. Here are the other variables: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/share/kaffe/lib KAFFEHOME=/usr/local/share/kaffe I´ll also tell you my software with problems. Here you have the AppletCode and HTML code: File "ButtonApplet.java": //ButtonApplet.java import java.applet.*; import java.awt.*; public class ButtonApplet extends Applet { public void init() { Button testButton = new Button("Button"); add (testButton); } } File "Button.html": Esqueleto de ButtonApplet I compiled the applet with FreeBSD Kaffe javac compiler and I saw the button through the HTML via Windows 95 Microsoft Explorer!!!

During the last three days I've been reading all there is and tweaking my NIS configuration, but it doesn't seem to work. I have one server and one client, both running version 2.2.1. I have configured the server to run : ypserv (no flags) rpc.yppasswdd -t /var/yp/master.passwd -a -v -s -f ypbind (I've tried all flags) I have made a copy of master.passwd and passwd in /var/yp to keep the maps separate from the original files. The client is running ypbind (I've tried all flags too). I've also added the corresponding "+:*::::" to both /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group in the client. (in the master too) The problem is I can't login from the client. I made a test running ypserv -d (debugging mode) on the master and when i try to login from the client, the server says to receive the query and respond. But login won't let me in. The same happens when I try to login in the server with a user that is not in the /etc/master.passwd but is indeed in the map. I've seen some questions similar to this one in the archives, but no answers. I would really appreciate some help. I'm getting desperate!!

I then am able to go through the installation process without problem installing the "User" distribution, finish configuration, reboot and I then get the following: F1 - dos F5 - disk 2 F? I try to select disk 2 but, I the another prompt as follows: F1 - BSD F5 - disk 1 F? This continues on toggling back and forth. I hope this is enough information for you to provide some feedback.

I had to take it down from 150 MHz (2x75MHz) to 133 MHz (2x66MHz). My gut feeling was that there was a problem with memory access at 2x75 MHz... but I didn't bother to research this problem further. Now, the system runs like a charm (but a bit slower). It's been up for about 20 days (including running a few "make world" to test stability...). Regards, Alex.

You proably need to reload the boot floppy image. You probably transferred it with ASCII conversion, which changes every 0x0a byte to the two-byte sequence 0x0d0a. Check the size of the image. It should be 1474560 bytes. If it's more, that's your problem.

As far as I can tell, you can set an expiry date, such as January 1, 1998, but you can't say that the user's password expires every 90 days. I think the latter is what the original poster wanted.

I suspect it is probably "axp", and contend we should probably mimic the DEC system if it's not too big a change at this point. For those who remember when DEC ruled the world of minicomputers, AXP has a nice "callback." Rumor has it, when DEC applied for a trademark on "Alpha" and was told they couldn't trademark it, the "AXP" moniker was brought up by some of the old-timers on the hardware side. Why "AXP?" It stands for (according to the scuttlebutt) "Almost eXactly Prism." I'll leave it up to Bill Pechter to explain what Prism was. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

This is tough. If you've installed GNU make, it comes with a fairly complete manual with some small examples. Try 'info make' from the command line, or go into info mode in Emacs and search for make. The "standard" make that comes with FreeBSD is described in /usr/share/doc/psd/12.make/paper.ascii.gz; you can read it with the zmore command. Or, you could gunzip it and print it if you wish. Another resource is the book "Managing Projects with Make" from O'Reilly and Associates. This is a good book that explains not only how to create makefiles to build programs, but how to build makefiles that completely maintain a project, including documentation, archiving, etc. For more information see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/make2/noframes.html > Also, where can I find about the different Internet utilities that > show me statistics about my connection and stuff that shows me what > is happening with the connection(what's downloading, what's being > sent, like a bird's eye of what's going on with my modem, etc.).

A book you might find helpful is "TCP/IP Network Administration, 2 ed" from O'Reilly and Associates.

I'll appreciate any responses to my questions. :) I hope these were helpful ones. Sometimes the most important part of learning UNIX is to build a really good library; I still refer to "TCP/IP Network Administration" occasionally and I've been doing this for over 8 years now. ;^) > P.S.

No WWW client that runs on FreeBSD supports ActiveX. ActiveX is a marketing term for "more Microsoft crap." There is a simple character web browser called Lynx available, but it does not support any graphics at all. I believe it does support HTML forms after a fashion. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I have read in the Livingston website that they have tested the Zoom K56Flex and include it as a compatible modem. I have also recieved many recommendations to consider the Supra as my upgrade. I also understand that PM-3 will not fully support USR x2 until sometime in 1998. This may make me put off upgrading until I am sure what I am upgrading to is full digital. I understand from the Hayes website that their modem is anologue, and the real choice seems to be digital. I did try &K0 or in my case \Q0 in a effort, to no avail. For the time being adding the few(3) commas to my dial string adds the fix for me to get a compatible hookup. I have also passed your suggestions on to one of the few capable support staff at My ISP so as he to can benefit from your experience.

I had the PC connecting to my ISP just fine for quite some time and they have since switched to PAP as their sole auth. protocal. PPP will connect up and the send/rec lights will flash back and forth 4-5 times (after the carrier connect phase) and then the connection goes dead. When I check the logs files and the only "error" is a "Phase: Dead" error. I've tried cranking the modem speed down to 19200 and I've disabled compression. This has made no difference. I've also been trying to turn up the logging to glean more detail, but I can't seem to find any documention for the log levels of iijppp. Does anyone out there have any ideas on the "Phase: Dead" problem or increasing the log levels of iijppp?

No, libc.so is the standard C library, which is supplied with the system.

How can I restore the 'old' environment? I don't see that you've changed anything yet. Try installing 2.2.2, and you shouldn't have *these* problems any more.

Yes, actually the stupid thing skips whenever I eject a floppy while the CD is spinning. On the other hand, we've a bunch of FX-810S and every one of them works fine with FreeBSD with no hassles.

Cool. I guess the corporate decision on the 'axp' moniker didn't make it all the way to the Digital UNIX group.

I agree, "what additional support is needed?" Hooked a USR 56k up for a day or two. No problems. No changes from my Supra 33.6. Went back to the Supra as my phone line wouldn't do 56k. Use your favorite tty comm program (mine is kermit) and connect to the modem after you've dropped your ppp connection. Try "at%q1" and "at%q2" for some interesting reading. At the very least you'll see the max and min speeds used for each of TX and RX. Sorry, I'm dialed in right now so I can't get to them. And didn't have a copy laying around in an xterm scrollback. Works for my SupraSonic. But the bestest feature of the SupraSonic is the two line LCD display that says "V34 T240. R28.8" right now. Would prossibly stay with my old Supra and LCD even if 56k worked hear simply for the LCD. -- 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.

I give it a simple "kill" and it apparently tells the other end to quit. But then never drops DTR on my end. Modem retrains a dead line and eventually gives up. Am betting its the Ascend modems on the far end that are not ACK'ing my PPP disconnect and letting my end cleanly close. But here are the results of at%q[12] I was looking for.

My daughter spends way too much time on IRC so I now have a way to shut off only IRC at will. She still needs to run netscape etc. etc. to do her homework. Here are some things I found out in trying to make this work. I could not get modload to load the ipfw module. It complained about _xxxinit was not defined or some such thing. I browsed LINT and figured out how to just compile it in. After a reboot I was all set. I had to play with the rules a bit to get that working. Here's what I ended up with in my /etc/ipfw file that works: flush add 00100 allow all from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 add 00200 deny log tcp from any to any 6667-7000 add 00300 deny log tcp from any 6667-7000 to any add 65534 allow all from any to any It complained when I had all listed for the protocol. The 200 rule works just fine. I'm not sure I need the 300 rule.

questions Subject: Re: 2.2.1-R src? In-Reply-To: <19970904090723.08374@lemis.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have looked there many times (in fact I just checked again). There is 2.1.7 and 2.2.2-R but NO 2.2.1-R and hasn't been for some weeks now. Did that branch get deleted or moved? I would like to compile my kernel, but, with no Ssys.a*, I can't. For some odd reason ( I have done it twice), when installing from dos (and the 2.2.1-R CD), the src isn't copied. This is using the view.exe/setup.exe on the CD. Since then, I have searched for the src on ftp.freebsd.org site, but haven't found them/it. I have "searched" the maillists on questions and announcements and have found nothing about that branch moving or being deleted. Maybe I will have to reinstall 2.2.1-R again from my CD/HD?? Thanks for your help. ps- will get the email fixed!

I'll crosspost to comp.sys.dec to see if there's any answer. Well, the story is Prism was a multiprocessor Risc system built at DEC's research facility that was killed by DEC. (Terry Shannon of Shannon Knows DEC fame may have more info in comp.sys.dec. He always does 8-) I spent most of my time in the PDP11 and Vax worlds... and research that didn't come up with a commercial product didn't get into the Field Service rumor mill. I seem to remember that there were rumors that this project had a glass (fiber) backplane and was a screaming multiprocessor system. I remember that about at this time Cutler bailed to Microsoft. Perhaps this one his project. There's Prism docs at the DEC Research home page...

The profile file is the one supplied when new user accounts are added to the system using the cdrom command. Thanks in advance! Daniel C.

I have tried using the -c arguement at boot, entering the above information in, but this did not work. In the kernal file I took out the keyword 'disable' for sio2 and during boot it is still not found. My modem is a Plug-and-Play CPI ViVa CommCenter 33.6 voice/speakerphone/fax modem. sio0 and sio1 are found, but they are just the serial ports on the back of the computer. How can I get FreeBSD to recognize my modem? Does Plug-and-Play confuse FreeBSD? Is this modem not supported? It has a 16550an uart (Windows 95 says this under diagnostics --> more info).

Just out of curiosity, how is the user doing this? The 'nobody' files should then only be in the webdocs directory anyway, where they would not be of much use I would have thought. I don't use nobody anywhere on the system myself. I have a user www, with password, and start httpd as root, it then switches to www, as per the instructions in the httpd (Apache) docs.

I have an interesting problem with ping. I don't know if it is a bug or not. The man page says that the -Q switch will shut it up when it comes to error messages. I am writing a package to tell me if the host is up or down. the script calls: ping -c1 -Q lib226-1.acadiau.ca at this time it is dead. so it tries: ping -c10 -Q lib226-1.acadiau.ca if nothing comes back, we assume lib226-1 is dead.. right? Here's what I keep getting back. ping: sendto: Host is down ping: wrote lib226-1.acadiau.ca 64 chars, ret=-1 According to the man page, it shouldn't give me any errors. Even funnier, it seems to behave correctly if I just start off pinging it once. As soon as I try pinging a second time in a row, it spits out these error messages...

I am limping this drive along until my replacement disk comes. The new disk is of the same type and configuration. The drive in question has an evil operating system on the first partition and FreeBSD on the second. Here is my plan: dd if=/dev/wd0 of=/dev/wd1 bs=128k bad144 -s /dev/wd1s2 Then reboot, cvsup, and make world on the new drive to replace anything that was lost. The problems I forsee: 1) dd may not copy over the partition information (not a big deal, as I can always partition the new drive exactly like the old one) 2) bad144... does anyone know if it will replace the old bad sector table? dd will most likely copy over the bad sector table, which will be invalid for the new disk. If anyone can shed some light on these issues, please drop me a note. Nick -- "A child can go only so far in life without potty training.

Trying to install freeBSD 2.2.2 I have received the installation disk from Walnut Creek and am wanting to install. The OS is having problems finding my cdrom drive however. I am not exactly sure where the problem lies, whether its in the kernel set up with IRQ's and things like that. So I tried creating a dos partition, extendid partition, and then it found the dos partiton when I chose the dos in the installation media but about half way it said that it couldn't mount the drive. Those are the only two ways that I know to install it. Thank you for you time and cooperation.

If the keyboard is not present at some stage during the system running, our BSD would not restart, it would just sit there and wait. The reply we got from Doug White was "This happens on some systems, and there isn't much you can do for it. Blame it on cheap hardware. There is a kernel option called `BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET' that you could compile with and that would try a more direct method of rebooting the system. See LINT for usage."

When you first start ping, and the destination is on the local network, your box sends an ARP request to find out the destination's hardware address. If the destination is down, no responses are going to come back, so ping doesn't print anything. After a certain amount of failed ARP queries, your machine will add an entry to the routing table saying that the host is unreachable, in order to keep from sending out further ARP queries. Ping will display this "host unreachable" error; it is not the result of receiving an ICMP error packet. The "host unreachable" route is short-lived, and looks like this: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 128.118.126.2 link#1 UHRLW 0 10 ed0 14 ICMP error messages include things like "TTL exceeded" and other "unrechable" messages delevered by a router (i.e. the destination is not on the local network). Here's an example: mph124:~$ ping 147.160.223.15 PING 147.160.223.15 (147.160.223.15): 56 data bytes 36 bytes from 205.219.15.229: Time to live exceeded Vr HL TOS Len ID Flg off TTL Pro cks Src Dst 4 5 00 5400 d1dd 0 0000 01 01 7652 128.118.126.83 147.160.223.15 Adding "-Q" would suppress displaying that ICMP error, received from the router at 205.219.15.229.

It's a very slick tool, but to make a long story short, I was looking at stealing the ping they wrote that incorporates a very short ping time. Perfect for checking local hosts or sweeping through a range of IPs to see who's up without that annoying timeout. If you'rehandy with C, I recommend looking at the source, it seems like it could be easily lifted out of the package....

I believe (although it's been a while since I last looked) that xterm needs that line in the kernel config file. If that is the case, simply add the line and build yourself a new kernel.

Perfect for > checking local hosts or sweeping through a range of IPs to see who's up Also, fping in /usr/ports/net/fping may be appropriate. A tool to quickly ping N number of hosts to determine their reachability without flooding the network. fping is different from ping in that you can specify any number of hosts on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of hosts to ping. Instead of trying one host until it timeouts or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next host in a round-robin fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and removed from the list of hosts to check. If a host does not respond within a certain time limit and/or retry limit it will be considered unreachable. Unlike ping, fping is meant to be used in scripts and its output is easy to parse. -- Matthew Hunt * Think locally, act globally. finger hunt@mph124.rh.psu.edu for PGP public key.

It should be a case of "cd /usr/src; make world". The "make world" system does complicated things (often more than once) to make sure that tools get built with the right libraries and include files. After you've built the world you'll probably discover that files in /etc are out of date. The simplest way to update them is to follow the tutorial at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/upgrade/upgrade.html I *believe* (but can't confirm) that the name of some binaries have changed between -stable and -current. "make world" won't remove these old binaries. If you've got diskspace to burn, you could build the entire world in another root, something like mkdir /mnt/new_root cd /usr/src make DESTDIR=/mnt/new_root world which will install everything under /mnt/new_root. You can then go through the directories under here, removing everything from the corresponding directory under /, and copying it over from /mnt/new_root. Be careful not to touch anything under /usr/local when you do this though.

To give you a brief history: We set up PPP logins with getty with no difficulty, the getty seems to be working with no hitches. We (in this order) followed the documentation (freebds.org/handbook/handbook179.html) on setting up the pap-dialup, then loaded the mgetty program. When we login, the login config file never fire the ppp-pap-dialup instead firing the standard login program. When we monitor the process stack, we notice a login o is executed during the attempt and hangs. Then it finally times out and hangs out the modem. Any help you could give us would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Carol E.

However, when I try to boot off the disk, I get a warning like: /dev/rwd0s1f: /dev/rwd0s1f: BAD SUPER BLOCK: VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK DISAGREE WITH FIRST ALTERNATE Then the oh-so-familiar "run fsck, press enter for sh". I run fsck, and get a floating point exception. fsck exits on signal 8, with the same warning as above. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I then created a new boot floppy but just as before the re-partitioning the unused space the install program finds is not enough to install FreeBSD. It keeps on finding that 196192 out of the 196608 sectors are dedicated to FAT and does not seem to find the unused 500MB.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello Questions@freebsd.org, I’ve been running into problems with the new release FreeBSD 2.2.2 of late. The problems vary, but each are equally annoying. The first and most important problem has to do with the inability of FreeBSD to recognize my serial port, sio1. I find this extremely odd and frustrating because prior to upgrading to Version 2.2.2 I had Version 2.1.5 install and running without incident. When I execute the “dmesg” command the information returns the message: “sio1: 0x2f8 not found.” Next I performed a shutdown of my system and rebooted using the “boot -c” command when appropriate. I was hoping to detect some type of conflict, but none existed. Finally I tried to echo to the device with the following command: “echo atdt(my number) > /dev/cuaa1”, to which I received this message in reply to my action: “/dev/cuaa1: Device Not Configured.” Do you have any ideas what could be going wrong. Please note that everything works perfectly in Win95. No problems in recognizing the modem at all. (Fyi I’m not confused on what modem number I’m accessing either.) The second problem that I have experience has to do with the distribution disk of Version 2.2.2 for FreeBSD. I was hoping to correct a problem to what looks to be a majorily hosed “rc.conf” file. This configuration file is one half megabyte in size. A little large wouldn’t you say. When I tried to more the file I recognized that is was very messed up in it’s format. I call Walnut Creek CD-ROM for assistance. The told me that I could correct this problem by following the instructions available on the Installation Distribution disk for Version 2.2.2 FreeBSD. The file they directed me to was “ERRATTA.TXT”. In this file it did not direct me to any “rc” file at all, but to a “login.conf” that didn’t exists anyway. Supposedly this “login.conf” file was to reside in the “/cdrom/usr/src/etc” directory: NOPE, I don’t think so. Can you tell me if either there is a release corrective distribution I missed or if I read the information in “ERRATTA.TXT” incorrectly. Finally, I’ve been trying to find out if there is anyway via FreeBSD for floppies to support anything other than the 8.3 convention for file names. I really need the “/dev/fd0” to support long file names. Long time ago I remember that one could select various file system formats for their floppy drives. Is there anything that you can think of to help me. Awaiting your answer.

The problems vary, but each are equally annoying. The first and most important problem has to do with the inability of FreeBSD to recognize my serial port, sio1. I find this extremely odd and frustrating because prior to upgrading to Version 2.2.2 I had Version 2.1.5 install and running without incident. When I execute the “dmesg” command the information returns the message: “sio1: 0x2f8 not found.” Next I performed a shutdown of my system and rebooted using the “boot -c” command when appropriate. I was hoping to detect some type of conflict, but none existed. Finally I tried to echo to the device with the following command: “echo atdt(my number) > /dev/cuaa1”, to which I received this message in reply to my action: “/dev/cuaa1: Device Not Configured.” Do you have any ideas what could be going wrong. Please note that everything works perfectly in Win95. No problems in recognizing the modem at all. (Fyi I’m not confused on what modem number I’m accessing either.) The second problem that I have experience has to do with the distribution disk of Version 2.2.2 for FreeBSD. I was hoping to correct a problem to what looks to be a majorily hosed “rc.conf” file. This configuration file is one half megabyte in size. A little large wouldn’t you say. When I tried to more the file I recognized that is was very messed up in it’s format. I call Walnut Creek CD-ROM for assistance. The told me that I could correct this problem by following the instructions available on the Installation Distribution disk for Version 2.2.2 FreeBSD. The file they directed me to was “ERRATTA.TXT”. In this file it did not direct me to any “rc” file at all, but to a “login.conf” that didn’t exists anyway. Supposedly this “login.conf” file was to reside in the “/cdrom/usr/src/etc” directory: NOPE, I don’t think so. Can you tell me if either there is a release corrective distribution I missed or if I read the information in “ERRATTA.TXT” incorrectly. Finally, I’ve been trying to find out if there is anyway via FreeBSD for floppies to support anything other than the 8.3 convention for file names. I really need the “/dev/fd0” to support long file names. Long time ago I remember that one could select various file system formats for their floppy drives. Is there anything that you can think of to help me. Awaiting your answer.

Ok...;-) > 1.What are the differences between FreeBSD and Linux? Does FreeBSD have as > many users as Linux? The differences depend on who you ask. Primarily, FreeBSD has one core distribution and release structure, not 20 like Linux. Linux has more users, but to the many FreeBSD supporters, that is a minor point. Search the `questions' mail archives at http://www.freebsd.org for past repsonses to this question. > 2.What are the differences between FreeBSD and those commercial UNIX? That depends on what you compare it to. If you compare it to BSDi's BSD/OS, the differences are very minor since they are based on the 4.4BSD code base. One of FreeBSD's biggest advantages is the excellent support which originates in this mailing list (questions@freebsd.org). you would be hard pressed to find such a resource in Linux or a commercial OS. > 3.Is FreeBSD compatible with System V? Not particularly. > 4.Can I find EVERY kind of application for FreeBSD? Define `every.' Many applications have been pre-ported to FreeBSD, see http://www.freebsd.org/ and look under `Applications.' > 5.How many disk space is recommended for running a FULL version FreeBSD and > many application? I suggest 100mb for a minumum usuable installation; the full version (including source for FreeBSD and XFree86) can be better than 500. Most people don't need the full source, so removing source that number drops to something more like 200 or so, assuming you install the X Window System.

It looks like you're trying to run the Linux version of Sendmail, and is looking for a Linux libc and finding a FreeBSD libc that was copied to /usr/lib. Try removing /usr/lib/libc.so.5.4.23 and make sure that /usr/compat/linux/lib/libc.so.5.4.23 is installed from the linux-lib-2.4 port. Also try rebuilding Sendmail on your FreeBSD machine.

Perhaps. You'll have some better luck if you bother the Big Brother mailing list at bb@taex001.tamu.edu. I know that many people have been trying to write programs/scripts/etc. to run natively on NT.

You'd be better to disklabel & newfs the new disk, then use `tar cf - * | tar xf -' or dump/restore to copy the files. Tar will preserve the permissions. Check the tar man page though before beginning. dd'ing the filesystem is asking for trouble; it seems like a horrible hack and bound to fail because of simple errors or filesystem/disk inconsistencies. > 1) dd may not copy over the partition information (not a big deal, as I > can always partition the new drive exactly like the old one) > 2) bad144... does anyone know if it will replace the old bad sector table? > dd will most likely copy over the bad sector table, which will be invalid > for the new disk.

It's produced by the University of California, Berkeley's Computer Systems Research Group, which is now defunct. FreeBSD is a port of the 4.4BSD code to the i386 platform, in essence. It's not runnable except on a VAX, maybe, but is interesting for observation. Walnut Creek can probably direct you to a source release of 4.4BSD, if you really want it. > P.S.

Using /dev/io would be good for testing but not for the actual driver. you'll want to put it in the kernel for that. I'd suggest looking in the FreeBSD Handbok at http://www.freebsd.org, looking at the source for other devices drivers in the kernel, and pestering hackers@freebsd.org for more information.

If so, how? Carefully. Considering how much you have installed, it'll take some creativity to find a place for FreeBSD. The main problem is if your BIOS adheres to the 500MB boot limitation. That limit states that any OSs's bootable sections must reside below the 1024th cylinder on your boot disk(s). If you can get around that, you'll probably have to use FIPS or Partition Magic to split out some unpartitioned space to put the FreeBSD slice into.

There is a worm0 device in newer versions of FreeBSD that should work with your Plasmon. Using the CD read half of WORMs is equally tricky, I guess.

It's possible to copy a kernel and necessary files to a DOS disk and use a special program to start the kernel, but that's not easy. If you have a CDROM, you can buy the FreeBSD CD and install from it w/o needing the floppy.

I have used FIPS to split up my existing DOS Primary Partition. This gives me a 2 DOS Primary Partitions (2nd one being a clone of the first one). I then deleted the 2nd DOS Primary Partition (as said in the doc). If you look at this again with FIPS it says that there is freespace not covered by any partition. In any case the installation procedure does not allow you to use this freespace, neither does it allow you to use the 2nd DOS Primary Partition. Basically, my question is the following. When I am in the situation that I have 2 DOS Primary Partitions as above, what more steps do I have to perform to use this second partition and install FreeBSD on it ? Thanks for all help. Joris.

I just got the FreeBSD 2.2.1 from Walnut Creek and am intending to install on my old laptop computer that's too slow and limited to run Win95 on but is just fine and dandy for a Unix OS. Says something about Windows doesn't it ;-) ... Anyway I am using the boot-pao.flp that's on the CDROM. During the boot process it does see the PCMCIA controller (but the messages disappear too quickly to know exactly what it says other than it recognizes the existance of the controller). Prior to the main install menu coming up it asks a couple PCMCIA questions and finds both cards that are in the machine right at the time (Megahertz 28.8 modem and a BASICS SCSI card). I go through the novice procedure, answer all the questions and tell it to start the install. Choose "CDROM" from that menu and it says there is no CDROM. It does not recognize a "DOS PARTITION" either. This SCSI card worked fine when Win95 was installed on this computer. Ideas? The computer is a Sager 800 series (DX2/50 with 8 Megs). The PCMCIA controller identifies as "Vadem VG-468" under Linux. (I got interested in using FreeBSD because the Linux PCMCIA utilities are being a hassle to configure and use, and underdocumented as well). The CDROM drive says "CyberDrive Multimedia CDROM" on the box. It's a 12X SCSI cdrom. This CDROM and SCSI controller worked fine under Win95 on this system. Any ideas? If I got an ethernet card would that work to use an NFS install?

Like other versions of UNIX, FreeBSD does not support Microsoft's DLL format. Instead, it uses a concept called shared libraries. You can find information about how to make them in ld(1).

Try this: # find / -xdev -size +2000 | xargs ls -l This will find all files larger than 1 MB (2000 blocks of 512 byte) on the root file system. The only ones that should be there should be /kernel and /kernel.GENERIC (and possibly other kernels that you have put there). If that doesn't find anything untoward, do: # find / -xdev -type d This lists all the directories in /. You should get something like: / /dev /dev/fd /usr /stand /stand/help /stand/etc /etc /etc/gnats /etc/kerberosIV /etc/mtree /etc/namedb /etc/ppp /etc/uucp /proc /cdrom /dist /bin /lkm /mnt /root /sbin /tmp /tmp/.X11-unix /src /home If there are other directories there, check them out. In particular, of course, /var shouldn't be there.

All of those files are really the same file, they just have 19 names.

First, you say you installed FreeBSD 2.2.2. I did that yesterday, and I've done this list: # ls -l /stand total 19915 -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 -sh -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 bad144 -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 boot_crunch -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 cpio drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 Sep 5 18:30 etc -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 find -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 fsck -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 ft -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 gunzip -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 gzip drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 Sep 5 18:30 help -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 ifconfig -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 mount_nfs -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 newfs -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 ppp -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 pwd -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 route -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 sh -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 slattach -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 454 May 28 07:52 symbols -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 sysinstall -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1060864 May 28 07:48 zcat Note in particular the second column: most of the files (19 of them) have the number 19 there. This is the link count, and it indicates that all 19 names point to the same file. If you have somehow missed out here (I don't know how), you might find you have 19 copies, which would explain the problem. If that's the case, you could run this script: cd stand rm -f bad144 boot_crunch cpio find fsck ft gunzip gzip ifconfig mount_nfs \ newfs ppp pwd route sh slattach sysinstall zcat for i in bad144 boot_crunch cpio find fsck ft gunzip gzip ifconfig mount_nfs \ newfs ppp pwd route sh slattach sysinstall zcat; do ln ./-sh $i done The other thing that puzzles me is that you say the files have a size of 1069056 bytes. I get 1060864. At first, I thought that you had transferred by FTP in ASCII mode, but that still doesn't add up, and anyway, you wouldn't have been able to install.

If you would like, I can post a *really* nice set of rule sets, which will allow you to specify a (group of) host which can relay through your system in the format of Class A,B,C or individually. All the rulesets that where listed in the sendmail pages required you to individually list each host! (a pain in the ***). Another really nice ruleset is the DNS lookup one in which the RCPT address must resolve ;) Seeya stavros@esc.net.au From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 6 23:47:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA01073 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 6 Sep 1997 23:47:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nico.telstra.net (nico.telstra.net [139.130.204.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id XAA01068 for ; Sat, 6 Sep 1997 23:47:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (gregl1.lnk.telstra.net [139.130.136.133]) by nico.telstra.net (8.6.10/8.6.10) with ESMTP id QAA14349; Sun, 7 Sep 1997 16:47:06 +1000 Received: (grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.6.12) id QAA09857; Sun, 7 Sep 1997 16:17:04 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <19970907161704.41638@lemis.com> Date: Sun, 7 Sep 1997 16:17:04 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: Stavros Patiniotis Cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: FS info References: <199709070626.PAA27203@bang.esc.net.au> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.81e In-Reply-To: <199709070626.PAA27203@bang.esc.net.au>; from Stavros Patiniotis on Sun, Sep 07, 1997 at 03:56:33PM +0930 Organisation: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8250 Fax: +61-8-8388-8250 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Fight-Spam-Now: http://www.cauce.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, Sep 07, 1997 at 03:56:33PM +0930, Stavros Patiniotis wrote: > I was after some information in regards to file systems, in particular, I > was wondering if bsdi's v2.1 fs and freebsd's fs were identical.

A correct deduction. Unfortunately, FreeBSD doesn't support it. This is all the sadder because both file systems share the same partition number (165).
