Thanks. set ifilter X allow 192.168.100.0/24 0/0 tcp dst eq 23 set ifilter X+1 deny tcp dst eq 23 This is assuming that everyone is ``outside''. In most setups, the second line is only necessary as the internal network won't be going via ppp. Another good pitfall is if your `hostname's IP is the one you're using for ppp, and you don't have a loopback route for it, it'll force the traffic through ppp :-| To setup the loopback route, add ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet a.b.c.d netmask 0xffffffff" to /etc/rc.conf (a.b.c.d is your static IP number). > Joe Clarke > -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

Each of these lives in its own subdirectory (like bin, src, man, etc.). However, you will probably want more, like X-Windows, which comes under its own hierarchy. I think the best way to find out is to play with FreeBSD installations, especially setting up your own FTP or NFS server and installing from it. > release..

But now I have to set up firewall rules, to deny specifics services to some of these remote machines. I had successfully compiled a new kernel, with the firewall options, and applied the rules. That also works fine. The problem i'm facing is that when the machine boots up, the remote boxes connects into the pppN interfaces in a "first come, first served" basis. So, the first remote box that connects grabs the ppp0, the second ppp1 and so on. Clearly, that's a mess with ipfw rules like: ipfw add 1001 deny tcp from 10.0.123.0/24 to any 21 via ppp0 since I can't grant that the 10.0.123 net is always connected via ppp0. Is there any way to force pppd use a specific interface (pppN)? In other words, I wish that the cuaa2 line always uses the ppp0 interface, the cuaa3 uses the ppp1, in a way that the connect order doesn't matter. Is it possible?

I hope someone will help this time too:) I have FreeBSD 2.2.1 installed on a PC with the following config: Asus TXP4 motherboard 64MB SDRAM Pentium 233MMX AHA2490UW Quantum Atlas II SCSI HHD 3c509 3com Ethernet combo card S3 765 video card some SCSI cd-rom (a good one) It works ( or worked ?) just fine. But now i decided to add an IDE drive for some not so important data backup and data exchange (the IDE HDD is installed in a removable rack) So, since the HDD was totaly new one, i ran /stand/sysinstall Created a new slice, then went back to lable editor and created there a file system which is mounted in /backup, and there i encountered a problem! It could not mount an fs and said that partition was not ready. Then i tried to do the whole thing manually using newfs, disklable and mount.. same stuff, eveything works, but mount says that the partition is not ready ane cannot mount it. Since i needed that backup disk really badly, i decided to install a new FreeBSD system on another pc (i had to do it anyway), and before i installed it there, I put this HDD in it, so the install would create a new fs on it as well as all others. The machine i was going to install bsd on was the same config, except it didn't have scsi at all. It had ide hdd and ide cd-rom. When i started install, i got the same problem. First after parttion editor it said everything is ok, but when i pressed W in labeleditor i said it cannot access swap partition cuz the device wasn't configured and then it said that root fs cannot be created at all. Tty1 said that partition 'a' was not ready. I tried installing several times, changed geometry between what install detected and what it really is, tried not changing partitions and went to fs editor. Then it actually worked for some time (install root fs and swap), but said that it cannot mount /usr cuz device is not ready. I tried installing from a bootable CD-ROM, and from bootable flopy from cdrom, from scisi cdrom. All the same. I don't have a clue what is going on. Sometime ago I installed FreeBSD 2.1.5 without any problem at home on a fully IDE pc. All of that i tried to do with WD 31200 and Quantum Fireball HDDs. If someone has a smallest idea what is going on, please respond! There must be life out there! HELP!

Doesn't matter; you can use /stand/sysinstall to download the files via FTP. First, the files you want are in /pub/XFree86, not /pub/X11. Run /stand/sysinstall and follow this sequence: select custom install, select distributions, select custom set, select XFree86, now you have a choice to make. For the easiest possible way to do it, just select all here. If you're low on disk space, or know more what you want, go through the submenus and choose your choices; make sure you install both the server for your video card and the VGA16 one if you choose to get just part of it. Once you select all (if you go that way) go down to exit, the hit enter, hit enter again, go to media type, choose FTP, agree that network is already setup (have ppp running beforehand), then go to commit. This will take a LONG time, so you might want to run it overnight or something like that. > Sincerely yours, > Oleg Ogurok / olegogurok@hotmail.com / *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 21 09:56:12 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id JAA14949 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 09:56:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from zippy.dyn.ml.org (garbanzo@haiti-96.ppp.hooked.net [206.169.228.96]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id JAA14930 for ; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 09:56:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from garbanzo@hooked.net) Received: from localhost (garbanzo@localhost) by zippy.dyn.ml.org (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id JAA03306; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 09:56:56 -0800 (PST) X-Authentication-Warning: zippy.dyn.ml.org: garbanzo owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 21 Dec 1997 09:56:56 -0800 (PST) From: Alex X-Sender: garbanzo@zippy.dyn.ml.org To: Dean Hollister cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: Installing MS Frontpage Server Extensions 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 Sat, 20 Dec 1997, Dean Hollister wrote: > > Hiyall, > > We would like to install the Server Extensions for Frontpage.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all. I am attempting to back a portion of a webserver space for one of my clients. I plan to use tar and compress the file with gzip. I only have one question. I am a little unclear on how to preserve the symbolic links, as well as write the data that the sym links point to. For example. Suppose this client is in a directory called /home/twc-online Within this directory, they have a directory called www. Unfortunately, this www directory is nothing more than a symbolic link. When someone changes to the /home/twc-online/www directory, they are changed to the linked directory: /home/www/twc-online. I see that tar has an h option that supposedly writes the data of symbolic links instead of just writing the link itself. Is that the way something like this should be accomplished? Or is there a better suited tar option that will even work better? Thanks for any assistance.

There are tutorials for just about every basic system administration task. I believe the one you're looking for is in the handbook (althought it might be the FAQ).

Your question actually belongs on freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, which is where I've sent a copy for you. :) If your system is 2.2.2 and you upgrade to 2.2.5-Stable kernel sources, you may introduce conflicts between your kernel and userland programs. If you use ipfw, 2.2.2 systems are not compatible with 2.2.5 kernels at all for example. You would be much better off upgrading the whole system to 2.2.5-Stable. Also, if you don't upgrade often you can avoid having to set up cvsup by getting your sources at the snapshot server, releng22.freebsd.org. If you need help upgrading via make world, please take a look at http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/upgrade.html. I've rewritten the "Upgrading from source" page that's on www.freebsd.org to include more recent information. If you have console access, you could also use the floppy/sysinstall method of upgrading, like what you or someone did to install FreeBSD. Either way, good luck, :) Doug From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 21 10:45:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id KAA17964 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 10:45:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from prefetch.san.rr.com (ns1.san.rr.com [204.210.0.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA17958 for ; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 10:45:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Studded@dal.net) Received: from dal.net (dt051n19.san.rr.com [204.210.32.25]) by prefetch.san.rr.com (8.8.7/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA13319; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 10:44:46 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <349D639C.F648B4BB@dal.net> Date: Sun, 21 Dec 1997 10:44:44 -0800 From: Studded X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: For your consideration, re-written "Upgrading from source" page Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Howdy, I needed an up to date set of instructions that I could refer people to that explains in detail how to do a make world upgrade.

The page is at http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/upgrade.html. There is a mailto: tag for me at the very end of the page. Of course, if the project is interested in incorporating any of my stuff into what's there now, I would be happy to oblige, just let me know what I need to do (or just rip the page :). One word of warning, HTML is not my strong suit, so although I think it's pretty clean, please be merciful about any errors in that area.

Introduction: ------------------ Starting my first internet connection was my real start of learning new things that I could not find in books, libraries, school, university, or even on the streets. My story with Unix operating system started from the net, and to the net I must give back, credit, help, and this story. I was the first among my friends to start the ultimate step in having a connection with the net, not so long ago, me and one of my friends got a trial account in one of the commercial services in the US, and man was that great fun. We started then in 1993 to feel the thrill of being online, with places and people physically so far away from us, located at the other end of the world, and we began enjoying the feeling of installing a newly downloaded file, and how sometimes the experience is a pleasure, and how other times its pure pain. When you are downloading a 5 MB zip at 2400 kbps, you really get a pain in the neck, and may be in other places too, but most surprisingly, we often did that, and waited and waited ages for the file to come, praynig that the DAEMONS don't curse that file on its way to our pieceful corner of the world, and praying that the, not so remote, possibility of a power failure, or a system CRASH, would have a permanent finger print on our head-hair. But to be honest with you, the NEW ERA, then, of being online was un-beatably forcing us on daily basis, to hook up the phone line over 5 hours, with GIGA phone bills in the end, and being online became a real obsession. The kind of services available these days were kind of simple, I mean no fancy GUI interface, just plain old BBS style text menus, that you select from by entering a character or a digit on your keyboard. But you know just like Shamoon and Bumpa told Simba, "slimy yet satisfying" [from the masterpiece Lion King]. I mean then we were in the dark ages, AOL has not been started yet, or was just gearing up, but the Masters of these days were compuserve. These guys really knew what they were doing. Few months later they even were, I think, the first online service to provide internet gateway. GENIE on the other hand was more geared up, not for the average user, but if you were a specialist in some kind of administrative, business, or even medical fields, you would surely select them as your service provider. Later, Genie introduced E-mail gateway to the internet, thus opening the window a little more for its people to have a look, even remotely, over the BEAST. The most amazing thing is that all today's top ranking services on the net had their equivalents in these dark ages, MUDs for example, were there. You download a piece of software to you local machine, and then install it, run it, and Hoopla , you connect to the server, and TRY to play in a multiplayer atmosphere, with players, physically separated by hundreds or thousands of miles, (1 mile = 1.6 Km I think). The real problem then was the ugly bandwidth, if you were caught red-handed with a modem faster than 9600, you may have been assasinated by envious eyes, but not that only, these old fashioned now services, would NOT connect you with speeds higher than 9600, they even dedicated special dialup lines with different phone numbers than the rest of the 'VOLKS', and charged these FAT CATS at higher rates. Sometime later, some genius started a GUI front end for that BBS style menu system, and man it worked, with some glitches though, but it was great fun. The things we were downloading these days were mostly MICROSOFTies, like windows 3.1 utilities, VB 3.0 VBXes, which helped me alot in a Project under Visual Basic, called The Nutrition Assist that I was doing for commercial use. So the fun was more than ever with introduction of the GUI, later on all online services introduced thier own GUIs and everyone was happy. I am not an expert in the internet, and I can't tell you at that time what was the internet bussy doing, but it was there and every single service online, was introducing different kinds of internet gateways, some full access like compuserve, and later on the GIANT AOL which started as a GIANT baby or a BABY giant, some like GEnie started putting up survays on their network for their users to tell them is it TIME-MONEY worth it to get a full access service or they prefer to stick with the email gateway only. Apparently our Free trial account had expired before we know the results of this survay, but even though, I can tell you with confidence that it was a big YES to the full access. I-2. Something Went Right: ------------------------------ We were back in our cell, with no window on the modern world. Then we realized that something was wrong, but the fact was we were cut off. Each of me and my friend went to our business, I went to my Master Degree, not in computers, and he to his job. We were hooked then with Micorosoft, that was really taking us slowly, but surely, forwards. Windows 3.11 for Workgroups was just released, and we were introduced to few trivial now, concepts of networking, workgroups, postoffices, etc. The good thing is when Microsoft Office 6.0 was released, me and my friend were gathered again for the digging into the new suite, and we discoverd some very interesting tricks, and we did a nice job on office applications, and I learned Microsoft Word at the same time that I was writing my Master Degree essay, being one of the MILLION users that shifted from Word Perfect to Word when word 6.0 was released. Now the fun was back again, with great difference though. One day I was entering my friends' office and here he was customizing the colors of word in 256 color mode, selecting certain blue color instead of the ugly grey, and yes we were flying again in adventure. The integration of the MS apps was good, I grabbed some DDE code from here and there, understood what was all that about, and bingo, implement in my NOW GIANT project, Nutrition Assist. It was great, I mean programming it was great, I would never give that openion of a project I personally wrote myself. The project implemented DDE within its basic file operations, Connected to its native MS Access database, and many other features, and the customers really liked it. On my way of learning, I some times open some old books in my library that were never read before, although I bought some years ago, and may not have had the time or the brains to read. One of these OLD GOLDIES was a really old book, The Design Of Unix operating System. I was never before a Unix guy, but the story of buying that specific book deserves mentioning. One day I was travelling by train, and enjoyed one little nap, of these I dore in trains, and the moment I woke up and openend my eyes, there was a man passing by me, and there it was in his hand, I rapidly grabbed the name from an attractive looking white cover, with blue text, and I don't know why I felt that this book will play some role in my life. Then I decided to buy it, and I did. But it remained for years over that shelf, covered up with dust, as was my brain I think. To tell you the truth, the circumstances were against this kind of adventure. First of all I am a practical guy, how would I read, understand, and implement something I am supposed to learn by reading an operating system design book, with out practicing it on a unix machine, how would I get a unix on a pc, in these days. So what I really needed is a power machine with a power commercial unix, but frankly this is way too far from my financial bandwidth. In the following years, we have witnessed a MAJOR advancement in high tech. and we have watched some numbers fly like this; [modem speed] 2400 --> 9600 --> 14400 --> 28800 --> 33600 --> ?? [cpu power] XT --> 286 AT --> 386-33 --> 386-40 amd --> 486 --> 486x2 --> 486x4 --> P5-75 --> 90 --> 133 --> 166 --> 200 --> P6-200 --> ???? while our brains kept flying like this ; [ram] 4 --> 8 --> 16 --> 32 --> 64 --> 128 --> ??? and our attic grew wider like this; [hd] 10 --> 40 --> 100 --> 170 --> 250 --> 300 --> 500 --> 1 GB --> 2 GB --> 3 --> 4 --> ? That was the right thing that happened, old hardware was the real handicap. My friend started few months earlier, not so long ago by the way, with an XT, I followed few months later ,in early summer 1990 with an AT-286, no HD, 512 kb mem, CGA video card, and no mouse. PERIOD. How do you achive an ambition on systems like this, how would you run unix on this junk. But good old DOS ,3.3 then, helped us figuring out what was the iron-maden things called COMPUTERS. When I look back in the past few years, I know now that this stage was needed to let us know how to resttle an angry machine, or install a software way below its minimum hardware requirements, these years made us a little bit more robust, and helped to emphasize one concept,that is, things won't just always be favourable, in fact they may never be, yet we have to fight our way though the misty way to reach our final destination. A lesson in life that these manifactuerers taught us with out intention. When the things became ok in hardware, the greedy software just asked for more, and when windows 95 was released a hardware upgrade was inevitable. In fact MS did us a favour by obligating us to get rid of our old rusty 386 and 486 junk before its too late. By doing so we now have power machines at home standby to really do some beasty stuff when needed. A special thanks here would go to PC MAGAZINE for excellent reviews, and guidance. I-3. The Ultimate Connection: -------------------------------- All that time our previous experience with online services has always been in our minds and the thrill was deeply missed. 1996 was the GOLDEN YEAR, we simply did it finally, and had the ultimate connection with the internet. Few months earlier, we baught a satellite receiver system at home, and as a NEWS LOVER, I watched CNN and NBC all the time, and there it was, as expected to be, a milestone of modern civilization, TV programmes about the net, or TV audiance sharing in programmes from all over the world by E-mail LIVE, the temptations and the propaganda were really at thier highest, I just could not resist anymore. Being aware of the implications, economical and social I decided to put one thing in my consideration, I will get connected, if it was the last thing I do. When anyone gets an internet connection, usually nothing in his life would all of you say will change, but to me it created a MAJOR attraction and successfully distracted me away from anything else, and I mean anything, I am an internet addict. I feel that I can't live a day without emailing, usenetting, downloading, browsing (I hate the word surfing as it implies a superficial attitude in the way of seeing things, right, otherwise you would really be DIVING). II- Chapter Two: Please Help. ------------------------------------ II-1. Kissing Windows Goodbye: -------------------------------- When I first got my password ,(I wont tell it though, but it may help you crack it if I tell you its 8 characters), form my ISP I knew nothing about the net, in essence, I have heard alot, saw alot about it, but never experienced it. The IP, DNS, and other native internet terms were really new to me, remember I am an amateur, learning a little bit by a litle bit as needed, so it took me a couple of days to understand how that stuff really worked, windows 95 helped alot making it an easy job to connect with out brain storming, especially for the newbie that came alive again. As I told you before, I like learning on my own like many of you, and I usually buy a couple of books, to take me by hand from the crawling stage to the UP and RUNNING stage. I asked my ISP for a tip, and he was a real gentleman, he recommended what will be one of the most resourceful and nicely written books I have ever read. Internet Secrets by Jhon R. Levine & Carl Baroudi and many other authors, published by IDG Books, and INFOWORLD in 1994, here's some words from the back cover, and they are FOR REAL. NB: I am not advertizing the book here, I am not connected to these authors, or publishers. "Here's your key to becoming a power internet user, Internet Secrets is powered with expert tips from the hottest inet authors....." The book covers litterally every thing to get you started whatever your platfrom and whatever you operating system, tips for windows, mac, unix, and os2. Pointers to client software you will need to be a power user, and pointers to server software and documentation that you may need to start serving yourself for the net, and may one day become an ISP yourself. The book gradually transfers you from the NEWBIE state to the NEWBIE GURU state, with no pain, at least you nowk know where your steps are going, and whose neck is under your feet (most probably yours !!). The book says it is targeted for intermediate to advanced users, but if your IQ is ok you will find over 90 % of the book is easy to digest. After digging for some time in the 980 pages book, I can now see things much better, and interact with inet much more efficiently, grabbing every now and then some of the software pointed at in the book, be warned that some pointers may change, for example a file with the name ircd-104.zip may now have become ircd105.arj or something more or less close to the name pointed at, but mostly the file is on the server, may be in another directory or another compression format, don't worry, if you can't find it do a search on it, if it is still manufactured, and or supported by the author/vendor/programmer you will find it. I also found a lot of user/administrator information on unix in this masterpiece. One of the first things that I downloaded over the net was Netscape Navigator, it is a piece of fine art software that will make your life as a user a lot more fun and easy. All the time I was browsing over the net the 4-charaters word ending with x kept popping up from everywhere, soon enough I discovered that internet is backboned by 'unix' and so inside out. I got curious more than ever due to the following; (PRIORITY ORDERED) 1. Now I have better hardware (makes you confident of the ability to get what you want) 2. I heard rumers of pc-oriented unix (don't forget that unix was never a pc OS when invented) 3. I heared rumers of a Free unix (don't forget that commerical versions really cost) 4. I heared that it is on the NET (remember that I like downloads ?) 5. I needed a new adventure in hands. (Don't we all ?) 6. Windows 95 seemed a little challenge, and I got fed up with the [CLOSE] [IGNORE] trap which actually ignores your clicks on the [IGNORE] button, and Closes the system into a system crash when you click [CLOSE] button, or when you don't. (once you are there, you are OUT). finally the white-covered (train) book came to surface again. II-2. The Hunt: ----------------- One lucky evening while the hungry LION is searching for the DEAR, I entered the following in YAHOO search, "Free Unix", and I end up with a list of hits on the word Free, and hits on the word Unix, after a few clicks, I got the strangely written word, FreeBSD. As a Microsoftian I have never heard about the three magic letters BSD before in my life, yet, Free, was serious enough to encourage a mouse click in that direction. What actually went that evening is that I have just put my hands on a link that will change many things, and will make other things never to look like they were before. What really happened is that I found my MEAL, the long lost+found one. Starting at http://www.freebsd.org was easy enough to find my way to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org and I found myself downloading, and downloading forever, hundreds of small files about 250,000 KB each from different directories, and although the download was long, the Idea of me getting a unix on my machine was stunning, although no confirmation that this software will run or even install on my machine was available. As a completely new thing, I broke one of my habbits with software, which is, dig in and find everything a little bit at a time yourself, and by trial and error, then consult documentation only when you are really stuck, or if you want extra features later. Although many of you may consider it a bad habit, but I like doing things the hard-way most of the time, I find pleasure in understanding the stuff on my own without the documentation baby-sitting me, and most of the time this technique works for me. But I do not recommend it for anyone except the really adventurous, because what you may find by resttling with the software for few hours, days, weeks, you may find in the first few lines of documentation, then you'll know what a real GOOFY you were. Understanding that I am getting ready to learn Chinese for the first time, I decided to act as polite as the first grade pupil, yet they do not come so polite these days anymore. I started reading some documentation, some *.txt and *.html and here it was a confirmation that this OS will behave good on my machine, and I was relieved. II-3. The Dark Room: ---------------------- For an absolute newbie in UNIX, I was watching very well where my steps are going, and avoided skipping sections in docs, my habit, or being hassled by the desire to get up and running quickly, I took some time to understand how in the world am I supposed to install on a single hard disk, that already contained data, which were not expendible in any way, and I can't afford to loose Un-backed few years' work. [NO MONEY MAN.. NO MONEY, aka, NO HONEY.] The docs repeatedly insisted on BAKCUP EVERYTHING before procedding, but actually I was not ready for 2.1 GB backup then, since I had no CDROM then, or a BACKUP DRIVE. I just kept my eyes open, walking carefully enough to avoid unrecoverable disaster. A note here worths menioning, that I became so close to the point of disaster on several occasions, and this technique is potentially very harmful. The first real magic piece of software was a tiny utility called fips.exe which helped me to section my exsisting hard disk into 2 separate partitions without hurting the exsisting data, then I was ready for the installation. The installation was fairly a straight forewards one, with the exception of that part the asks for the hard disk geometry, which if given wrong will yield the installation un-usable, I did it wrong 3 times, and re-installed the entire system 3 times until I found out what was wrong, and gave it the right numbers, and BINGO, we were on the right direction. From reading the FAQs I found out that this particular problem was giving many people a hard time, and I am not alone, this really helped since I started to feel for a moment that I did not have the minimum IQ figure for running or even installing unix, and I should keep on bieng a Miscrosoftian. Once this UGLY problem was solved, the rest of setup is kind of interesting, because it reminded me with good old DOS programs the enter low resolution graphics mode, and give you a false GUI look and feel. This gave me some confidence that I am not entering another galaxy, in fact, we are still home. Once the installation was done, and I rebooted into the FreeBSD, I mean Unix partition, I felt like someone has closed my eyes, or like I have entered a DARK ROOM. Suddenly the Power user I used to be has vanished into thin air, and I found my self completely disoriented, and lost. I could not see Floppy Dirves, Printer, the other partition, even the files or directories, I did not know even how to reboot the system safely, in fact I was COMPLETELY BLIND. II-3. Dilating The IRIS: -------------------------- I decided to QUIT unix for some time and get serious help, I payed my ISP a visit, to pay the monthly fees, and gently asked for another tip. The man was an angel, and he liked my attitude of digging into something like this on my own, so he most generously gave me the only copy he's got of his own DEC-OSF1 system manual , that was really driving our network, with strong confirmations from my side the it will be a very short borrow, and I'll take very good care of it. I went home, and started eating the papers of that manual, and took a few notes, I now know how to ls to dir, and how to pwd to cd. Simple commands frequently short-hand style, but gives you what you want. Two days later, I gave the man his manual with all the required thanks, and apreciation. I started practicing the new commands, but now I know it needed more than this to really see things the way they were. I decided to grab some html education on the net, and here it was lying for the hungry, and I downloaded a lot of very helpfull docs over the net, and did some home work, suddenly my eyes were opened, and the IRIS has dilated. To Microsoftians, Unix is kind of strange, when you boot DOS-WINDOZ systems, you never worry about the basic system components being detected or not, because unless you do some rational stuff, the OS will most probably identify, you computer's components, and even things like CDROMS, printers, scanners, sound cards, are easily installed, as they come with disks labelled as DOS-DRIVERS, WINDOWS3.1 DRIVERS, WIN 95 DRIVERS, and WINDOWS NT DRIVERS. In Unix, especially these Net-Distributed Types, there's nothing labelled UNIX DRIVERS, and even your floppy drives will be in NON-OPERATIONAL mode when you boot a freshly installed system, this will definitely confuse previous Micrsoftians like me, and you may sometimes think that unix is stupid, because you can't even access a simple floppy, despite the system identified it at boot time and gave you a clear message that the harware was found and identified in a most verbose manner, a way you are not used to, giving the type, vendor name, irqs and everything about the hardware device, things you even never knew before although the same device was sitting for years in your room. It took me sometime to find out that UNIX mounts this kind of devices, using the mount command, and you have to read the manual page for mount to get the exact command correct, then you are supposed to know how to invoke the manual page using the man command. Now I figured out the spirit of unix, small pieces here and there to get a monster, just like a building formed of small bricks, the entire system is linked together. The amazing thing that I found later, is that you don't have to manually remount every single media device you have everytime you boot, but instead there is a file called fstab in the /etc directory that can do that job for you every boot. The implications of this simple finding were so great and un-believable. So unix is a completely automated system, and can do much much more than just automating the process of mounting media at boot time, infact an advanced user on unix can let the system run and administer itself for quite a long time with out baby-sitting, and with utmost efficiency. The second most amazing thing is that unix can mount entire drives as READ-ONLY or READ-WRITE as required, and it shows you the mounted partitions as ordinary directories, a thing WIN-DOS users find most strange. Another very serious implication of the /etc/fstab, was that I then knew that I could damage the system, or put in un-bootable, or un-usable state, not with a single line and not with a single word, but with only one very wrong character, in the very wrong position or the very wrong file will do the system, aka, make its REAL day, a final very bezzare implication of this was that the whole system is maintained and configured via plain TEXT files, and you can edit any and change any, even with the system running, without any complaints by the system, that this file is in use or being locked. Later on, I discovered that the Freely available Unix types come with the FULL source code for the entire system, and if you have the knowledge to do so, you can modify the system itself, or even make a new unix out of it, even the KERNEL, that actually boots the DEAD METAL into an intelligent operating system, is available as a bunch of files, that you will for sure one day edit and recompile the kernel to identify new hardware, or other hardware not enabled by default kernel. The great thing is that unix is a very robust system, and does not break easily, its just you may not have the enough knowledge or tools needed to recover from a real disaster, or even a small glitch, so if get stuck, ask an expert before doing a re-install especially if you have unsaved data that you will loses if you choose to re-install. I kept the unix system free of DATA for over six months, and all I had on the Unix partition was the unix programs that I've already saved in compressed format on the DOS partition, but this has changed after I had more knowledge of the system, and now being stable for over another six months, with all kinds of data safely sitting. This has further changed since I got my new CDROM, and backing up all data and compressed files on CDROMs with the help of a friend having a re-writable CD. II-4. Confused ? Have Some More: ---------------------------------- You will stay in a state of confusion for sometime when you make your BIG MOVE from WIN-DOS to Unix, and you will find many things completely new to you. /dev for example was one of the first things that attracted my attention as a unix newbie, the strange thing is that this particular directory contains a lot of files that are ZERO BYTE, ie empty in MS world and can safely be deleted. But, if you do that most probably you will live to regret it. These zero byte files are NOT files, and they are NOT directories too, they are DEVICE SPECIAL FILES, that the system uses to deal with I/O from and to all system devices, for example, tty, cuaa, are serial devices, and without these, no mouse, no modem, no dial in, no dial out, more side effects, and programs complaining, and system crashing, etc. The concept of manually removing a file that seems un-important should be abandond in unix world, which many of us previous Microsoftians heavily implemented in DOS world as many stupid, or intelligent, programs leave uncleaned swap and temp files, and since we try to be clean all the time, we are used to del *.*, FORGET THIS command if you ever want to live piecefully with your new neighbour. More confusion comes from the unix deals with partitions and harddisks. In a typical unix installation, the system creates BASIC FOUR partitions; / root partition /usr usr partition /var var partition swap swap partition / , /usr, and /var appear as ordinary directories, but if you really want to see some action issue the df command and see what is really going on at boot time, you will find many of the strange looking things in /dev mount as partitions, and the partitions looking like ordinary directories, and if you want more confusion issue the following command, and read, man ccd. ccd is the concatenated disk driver, that can make more than one partition or more than one disk to appear as a single partition, which also will look infact like any other directory on the system. What power these geniuses have provided in unix, and what a waste of time dealing with WIN-DOS for the past seven years. II-5. Piping, Echoing, Moring amd More Similarities: ------------------------------------------------------ >From time to time you will encounter a similarity in name and function between unix and WIN-DOS programs and concepts. The truth is that most of these things originated in the unix world far back in history before DOS even existed, and this helps the newcommer to feel less strange in the new world. Unix counterparts are by definition more robust, more secure, more efficient, faster, and more powerful than their dos siblings. In fact since the original unix developed in the late 1960s, it was made of small utilities that combined together produced a robust and powerful system, this should not be over-emphasized here, just take a look at any unix shell script and try to do some man page study, to understand the script, and you will get the picture.

Satisfaction or Your Money BACK: ---------------------------------------- One of the first things that strike you when you get into the unix world is the absolute diversity of the flavours that is called unix. Many vendors, both commercial and non-profit do nothing in life but produce these beasts. And you start wondering what is that behind all this, why not simply uniting in some conference or convetion and put a standard once and for all. But by saying this you have really done two things, and may be more. first, you forgot that even DOS came initially from different vendors, remember IBM-DOS (PC-DOS), DR-DOS, MS-DOS, and even Norton tried once to put his NDOS. Second, this will be exactly as if you say, GMC, HONDA, FERRARI, ROYCE, and BENZ, lets all make one car. But this by all means is impossible, since each vendor is making his own car or OS and making money from being different than the others in a way or another and the user or the consumer loves and gets hooked on one of these, and it is very difficult to make him shift. Its PURE MONEY that is driving different vendors to implement things in different ways, that is from his openion better than the rest, otherwise he will be stupid not to implement as the others did. Even a newbie like me finds it an annoying idea to shift from FreeBSD to Linux, and other peolple on the linux side see it as a bad idea to shift to FreeBSD. This is true even more within the commercial world, as an ISP is really hooked on his vendor to supply patches and upgrades, for more than one reason, trust, security, discounts, you name it. Another factor is many of the commercial vendors, especially SUN Microsystems, HP and Digital Equipements Corp., tailor their unix implementation to specific HARDAWARE that they produce, and simply won't run at ease on other platforms of hardware.

It will look as if there never were any symlinks to begin with. I'd recommend keeping the symbolic links, since this is what you will want if you ever use these tarfiles to recreate the original configuration. Hence, you have a couple of options. You can either use multiple tarfiles, one for each subdirectory root, or you can include muyltiple subdirectory roots in a single tarfile. e.g. If I want to back up /usr/client and this directory contains a symlink /usr/client/www to /usr/www/client_root, you could try either of the following approaches: option 1: tar -C /usr -czf client.tgz client tar -C /usr/www -czf client_root.tgz client_root option 2: tar -C /usr -czf client.tgz client www/client_root I'd recommend the second approach, since the symlinks are completely preserved no matter where you extract the tarball. Of course your symlinks need to be relative for this to work best. i.e. you used "ln -s ../www/client_root www" instead of "ln -s /usr/www/client_root www" to make the link. Hope this helps.

Yes, edit the kernel configuration file (i.e.: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC for the GENERIC kernel) and find the line with device psm0 on it. Remove the word disable. On newer systems (maybe only recent -current systems) psm0 isn't disabled by default. On some systems, checking for a PS/2 mouse without one attached will cause problems.

If you already have FreeBSD, go ahead and give it a try, I doubt that they will run though. It's my understanding that Sun uses ELF binaries, and while Sparc binaries won't run at all, one could probably hack together a little Sun emulator using bits and pieces of the Linux emulator.

Well, you could achieve this using user-ppp (ppp). It has firewalling (well, packet filtering) built in, and allows you to also execute arbitrary commands with the INTERFACE argument - which gets replaced with the tunX interface name. > Best regards, > > Ricardo A G Almeida > AG SISTEMAS > http://www.ag.com.br -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

Guilmette" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I wonder if you can maybe suggest to me some people are on intimate terms with the TCP/IP code in FreeBSD. I need to get some help for a very important project. In a nutshell, I, together with a large number of other ardent anti-spammers am hatching a plan to put a real crimp in the style of the net's multitude of E-mail spammers. Part of the overall plan is to create a specialized version of the TCP/IP networking code... either in FreeBSD or else in Linux... which will, by intent, behave badly. Specifically, the idea is to create a special- purpose version of the networking code that will allow _all_ TCP traffic to port 25 to be slowed down by some arbitrary amount to be determined later. (The amount of slowdown will have to be calibrated so as to cause maximum damage to the spammers.) Basically, I just want the TCP packet ACKs to be slowed down as much as possible without making the remote end of the connection give up (yet), and I want this to happen _only_ for traffic coming in to port 25. Can you help me find someone who could create such a special purpose version of the FreeBSD TCP/IP code? I'll pay for the work if necessary, but ideally I am hoping to find someone who hates E-mail spam as much as I do and who might be willing to work on this small project for the sheer glory of it. (Imagine being an integral part of the team that wiped out E-mail spam forever on the net!) I have some hope that we can make a REALLY substantial dent in the junk E-mail problem on the net... if the whole plan of attack comes together, that is.

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 one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, 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 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: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? ========================================= Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: 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 even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. 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 or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, 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. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 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 (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: 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.

Yes, I've seen many reports that it runs WinWord, however to do that one probably needs a fair share of MS dll's as some of the emulated copies are fairly broken. I personally haven't tried either word or Excel, but it's reasonably fast, and probably worth a try. Chances are you'll need to recompile your kernel (with options USER_LDT in your config file).

I think it's one of the most useless books I've come across. It's full of arcania, and instead of telling you what to do, it presents everything as a series of problems. As if TeX wasn't enough of a problem by itself. 2. LaTeX users quide by L. Lamport. This book is better. But then, so are most books. As may be evident, I don't like TeX. It's not for want of trying; I used it exclusively for several years. Troff was like a breath of fresh air. Don't take this as a criticism of lyx; I haven't tried lyx, and if it hides the obscenities of TeX well, it could be quite useful.

I guess I should inform to DNS or something that I'm using aharitt.hanyon.co.kr. How can I do that? I'm still newbie for this stuff. Please help me. Thanks for your answer.

ICQ has been working solid for me since I upgraded to FreeBSD 2.2.5, XFree 3.3.1, kwhite's JDK 1.1, and ICQ 0.95 There's three things that need to be done to the JDK to get ICQ running, and one more to make it run better. First two items are on the kwhite page, though it sounds like you already took care of those (symlinks or patches to take care of /bin/ksh and a library issue). The other essential item is to delete the font.properties* files from the java lib directory. This is probably where you're having problems. Finally, I recommend installing Lesstif 0.82, since most of the ICQ bugs that you'll notice are actually Lesstif bugs, and this fixes most of them (and creates one other bug, but simply resizing the window fixes the problem). Oh, you'll need to go into the lib directory and remove the link to the patched Lesstif 0.79 that is included with the kwhite JDK, and replace it with a link to your new 0.82 library.

I'm hoping to use it for DHCP. I got a minimal DHCP databsae file together for testing and then tried to start up the daemon. It reads the database file ok as far as I can tell and then complains about the following and exits: Internet Software Consortium DHCPD $Name: BETA_5_16 $ Copyright 1995, 1996 The Internet Software Consortium. All rights reserved. # Can't find free bpf: Device not configured dhcpd: exiting. I have since discovered this is referring to something called the Berkeley Packet Filter. I must assume this is not enabled by default on FreeBSD systems and that I must add this device to the kernel? It also seems to indicate that I must use the Berkeley Packet Filter if I wish to use the ISC DHCP daemon. Is this correct? If so, do all DHCP daemons require this to be enabled. I understand there is a security risk to turning on the Berkeley Packet Filtering. If I include a pseudo-device line in our kernel config file and rebuild the kernel, will this be sufficient to enable BPF? There is an example of such a line in the LINT file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. Thanks for your time.

It's an almost WYSIWYG gui for TeX without having to know TeX. I believe the documentation states that Lyx makes the computer do the nasty work of formating and manipulating the final output of the printed document to allow the author to concentrate on writing. Unfortunately it is still under development, but I'm really looking forward to the day when it settles down and becomes a robust product. It doesn't seem to have the bloat that other text-processing gui's have. I really think you should try it. - burton - From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 21 20:16:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA24233 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 20:16:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from wildthing.tempe.gov (wildthing.tempe.gov [164.50.248.101]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA24228 for ; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 20:16:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from markem@primenet.com) Received: from primenet.com (xdsl-ip47-024.phx.primenet.com [207.218.25.24]) by wildthing.tempe.gov (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA17550 for ; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 21:16:21 -0700 (MST) Message-ID: <349DE98C.F656588D@primenet.com> Date: Sun, 21 Dec 1997 21:16:12 -0700 From: "M.Monninger" X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: JDK and FreeBSD 2.2.5?

I am running FreeBSD and Apache (the latest stable versions of each) on a Pentium 166 clone with 32 mb of RAM and a 6.5 gb hard drive. It has a 3Com EtherLink III ethernet card to connect it via my hub to a Cisco 1005 router which in turn hooks to an Adtran 56/64 CSU/DSU which connects it to the world via a 56k Frame-Relay connection. Every time I leave the machine alone for more than about an hour, it freezes up and does not respond to pings, keyboard input, or anything else. What can I do to prevent it from doing this? Also, the clock is set to something WAY off -- nowhere near local *or* Greenwich Mean Time. How do I reset the clock to the right time?

Use the entry in LINT, recompile the kernel, and then you will need to use the MAKEDEV script in /dev to make bpf0 - bpf3. IIRC, dhcpd uses two bpf sockets, so you should be fine with the default of 4. If you need more, increase the line in your kernel file and make the appropriate devices. To my knowledge, all dhcp systems use bpf's. It is pretty important that you do not allow untrusted users on your dhcp server for that reason. Good luck, Doug PS, if you need your clients to set their hostname, mail me and I'll send you my hack to the client script for that. It may find its way into the next beta, but it definitely works. :) From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 21 21:19:14 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id VAA28109 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 21:19:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from capr.caproffice.net (clarkead.packet.net [206.228.135.32]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id VAA28101 for ; Sun, 21 Dec 1997 21:19:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from marcus@clarkead.packet.net) Received: from localhost (marcus@localhost) by capr.caproffice.net (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id AAA02606 for ; Mon, 22 Dec 1997 00:19:02 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 22 Dec 1997 00:19:02 -0500 (EST) From: "Joe \"Marcus\" Clarke" X-Sender: marcus@capr.caproffice.net Reply-To: "Joe \"Marcus\" Clarke" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: user ppp startup delay 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 Lately, ppp takes an unusually long time starting up when the system boots.

Daly (ISBN 0-201-42777-X). This book is an _excellent_ reference. It covers pretty much everything that I ever do with LaTeX (which has been quite a bit in the past). I didn't initially learn from this book though, so I can't vouch for it's usefulness as a tutorial, but at a glance it looks pretty decent. "The LaTeX Companion", by Goossens, Mittelbach, and Samarin (ISBN 0-201-54199-8), is IMO overrated in most circles, but it does a good job of describing a lot of available packages, and for this reason alone is worth owning if you're going to use LaTeX a lot. I somewhat dislike Leslie Lamport's book. Perhaps the second edition is better, but I learned from this book, and spent countless hours of frustration figuring out things that just weren't covered, such as inserting PostScript figures! I seem to remember it not even telling how to invoke latex (a blatant omission IMO). There are other books out there than these, but the first two I mentioned are a great place to start. If you're getting into lower level layout, you may want a book on TeX, but I've gotten by with surprisingly little TeX without problems... In any case, I've had "Making TeX Work", by Norman Walsh (ISBN 1-56592-051-1) recommended to me, though I can't personally vouch for its quality.

There have been times while at work I have dialed into my bsd machine and make ppp dial out to my ISP. I then hangup and dialup shell account on my ISP, do a who and see what IP my bsd box is on then telnet into it. I can also ftp, http(though not enabled in inetd), finger and a whack of other stuff that I have enabled in my /etc/inetd.conf Check your inetd.conf and see what services are enabled. If your Fbsd machine is out of the box then I think that most services are enabled. So they will be able to get to your gateway machine via your dynamically assinged IP, but again it depends on what services you have enabled in inetd.conf, but anything beyond your Freebsd machine I think would be safe. (ie windows boxes) Though I have a sun box that I can telnet to in my basement from my bsd machine so that wouldnt be very safe in the event of someone telneting to my bsd box via a dynamically assinged IP. Also once into your FreeBSD machine while your ppp connnection is up they can telnet/ftp whatever *out* to the internet using your FreeBSD machine. Hope that helped. Though if I'm wrong someone will point out my errors I'm sure! :) Keith.

People, don't event think 'bout porting FreeBSD to another platform... ;-) As You can see on http://www.openbsd.org/ and http://www.netbsd.org/ there is many platforms for OpenBSD and NetBSD. So what? FreeBSD is more concentrated on one platform - and it's good and stable. The question is - 90% for that IBM has compiled they DB/2 binaries for sparc processor, not for x86. But if I can found DB/2 binaries for Solaris/x86 - what I need to emulate Solaris ? Where to look for information, where I should ask Q's ? Thanx! -- Solik.

I'm having a heck of a time finding a mother board that has parity. I found an ASUS Pentium Pro board, but nobody in the US stocks them,. or will order one for me. Having worked with hardware for a long time, I find it unthinkable that people would want to buy a system with no data protection. So the queston is: What kind of issues should I be looking for when running this on a K6 without parity? Or should I just run it on my DX100 and leave the power box for the workstations? I probably should be monitoring some newsgroups, but my time seems to be limited enough that I barely have time to deal with just the email.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am thinking of creating a boot disk with a kernel supporting "ppa". I use a parallel port Iomega ZIP for backing up and restoring with the tar. I don't need incremental backups. I followed the way explained in the handbook. But the kernel, with the very minimum configuration, is yet too large for the tar to be put on the disk in stead of "restore". So what I would like to do now is to create a boot disk with only a kernel on it like "boot.flp", (I mean a boot disk that presents you, after booting, a menu giving you the choice for switching to "fixit.flp"), but with the ppa support. - Can someone tell me how I can achive this ? - Does somebody have any suggestions for alternative ways of doing what I want to ? - Is it possibe to compile the ppa as module and use it with the existing "boot.flp" ? And if so, how ?

IBM's OS/2 is the only system I know of with a dual boot capability. You can, however; use the boot manager that comes with FreeBSD (booteasy) and during startup you can have your choice of which Operating system you wish to load. Go to www.freebsd.org and read the handbook for more info.

Avoid it like the plague ;-) I ran Solaris x86 from 2.3 up to 2.5Beta. It was ok. Had some weird stuff. But I dropped it an installed FreeBSD 2.1. It was about 2 times faster (especially X) on a 486DX2/50 with 32 meg. I've never looked back. (In fact at work, we're about to start using FreeBSD on Pentiums instead of Sparc 5s). Anyway, this question looks like the old 386i machine from Sun that ran SunOS 4.0.1, which, of course is BSD 4.2 based. That would be interesting, but I'm going to say that its doubtful that they'd run. Anyway, I can't imagine there is much left out there for that machine.

Keith says: Well, I didn't have a lot of choice. It was either ISC or some commercial crap and I have neither the money nor the support from managament when I need it to get a commercial one. Also, I'd heard that ones like the Microsoft one and others sometimes were not backward compatible in the sense that they had no support for bootp, which some devices still use. Typical of Microsoft. I read an article sometime around when Win95 first came out (it only has support for DHCP) about the various DHCP servers and was disturbed to discover how different they were and how they seemed not to be supporting the features that they ought to have. I don't know of any other public domain DHCP server, if it exists. But the ISC one seems to have paid attention to the RFCs regarding DHCP which is better than what one could say for the commercial ones. Perhaps the situation with those has changed but I don't know. Meanwhile ISC gives me a server which works in all the ways I need it to work and I can test it and scripts to build the DHCP conf file long before I need it to be critical. We're planning to convert desktops to WIn95 in the next 6 months or so and we have been using bootp up til now. But, I need DHCP for Win95 (thanks Bill Gates, praise be upon him :-) ). I don't want to be hardcoding IP addresses in our workstations. :-) > and compiled it without > errors on a FreeBSD 2.1.0 system we're running here. Hmmm.. I started with FreeBSD around 2.1.5, but from what you describe it sounds like you're on exactly the right track. Keith says: Actually, I thought it was 2.1.5 too but the motd file reports it as 2.1.0 but that may be wrong. > I have since discovered this is referring to something called the > Berkeley Packet Filter.

Use the entry in LINT, recompile the kernel, and then you will need to use the MAKEDEV script in /dev to make bpf0 - bpf3. IIRC, dhcpd uses two bpf sockets, so you should be fine with the default of 4. If you need more, increase the line in your kernel file and make the appropriate devices. To my knowledge, all dhcp systems use bpf's. It is pretty important that you do not allow untrusted users on your dhcp server for that reason. Keith says: Right. Thanks. Good luck, Doug PS, if you need your clients to set their hostname, mail me and I'll send you my hack to the client script for that. It may find its way into the next beta, but it definitely works. :) Keith says: Hmm. This is interesting. I was assuming (based on my experience with our bootp servers, which do assign the hostname) that DHCP would also do this (given that my thinking about DHCP is that it is a superset of bootp). But I had noticed that WIn95 wants you to enter the hostname before turning on DNS querying on it (and I was hoping for a way around this because it means you have to visit each desktop). Is this a way of getting clients such as WIn95 boxes to acquire their hostname from the DHCP server? What's the client script you're referring to?

Unfortately, between 2.2.1 and 2.2.5, this stopped working. It appears that ncurses doesn't recognize the F3 and F4 key any more, and returns an ESC instead (causing the application to quit). In all cases (2.2.1 and 2.2.5) I used an "xterm" terminal type. My guess is that something has changed in the termcap file. Can anyone confirm this, and tell me how to get ncurses seeing the right keystroke again?

Bring the system back up to multi-user and login as a user allowed to su to root. Then su to root using su -m, you should be able to issue a chsh root then.

Your English is actually very good. The SCSI drivers are actually already on your machine you just need to find the right one for your card, enable it in the kernel config file and rebuild your kernel. Is that a Diamond Fireport SCSI card? If it is, then it most likely uses the NCR/Symbios chipset so that is the one you would enable. For a complete list of all the drivers in FreeBSD you can look into a file called LINT. Rudy. ---Dominik Walczak wrote: > > Hi ! > > Everybody call me SOSNA or DNA.

Memory chips have become much more reliable, and parity errors are relatively rare, so people became unwilling to pay the extra for them. I must say that I don't feel comfortable without parity, but as you observe, it's almost impossible to get parity memory. > So the queston is: What kind of issues should I be looking for when > running this on a K6 without parity? For some reason, hardware failures typically show up as segmentation violations when compiling. From my observations, one of the reasons seems to be that the C compiler can spend more time maxing out the processor, which causes things to heat up. Particularly on a K6, I'd strongly recommend an original AMD cooler; otherwise you could find that the processor dies when executing CPU intensive code. > I probably should be monitoring some newsgroups, but my time seems > to be limited enough that I barely have time to deal with just the > email. Ditto. I don't think news is worth the trouble any more.

If so, do you get any error messages about the network when the system boots? You should also check the /var/log/messages file for network errors? Can you ping your network router address? If not, I'd say you have a network configuration problem. If you can get these answers, it will be easier to suggest what to check. I suppose if you could relay what "netstat -ni" and "netstat -nr" say, it could also be useful. Just because the outside world is not able to connect to your system, does not mean there is anything more than a misconfiguration problem. Furthermore, you should not need to reload the system, or otherwise risk loosing your local data. Hope this is reassuring. cheers, Adrian -- adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| If I were stranded on a desert island, and System Administrator --->>>| I could only have one OS for my computer, Neurosurgical Visualzation Lab -->>| it would be FreeBSD.

Expensive, but _well_ worth the price. Same publisher publishes Leslie Lamport's books on LaTeX. I've heard that "LaTeX for the Impatient" is good, though I haven't read it. The recommendation came from someone who used TeX in a commercial production environment, so it may be worth a look. I've seen nothing on Lyx. Although if you understand TeX and the LaTeX macros, it's fairly obvious what Lyx is doing (quite well, BTW). teTeX is a specific distribution of TeX that basically rearranges the directories TeX installs in and uses the kpathsea libs to find things. Any generic TeX docs will work for teTeX. It might be helpful to think of TeX as a _typesetting_ system rather than a text processing system. ;) -- Jay On Sun, 21 Dec 1997, John Kenagy wrote: > Now that I've about got a behemoth of a text processing system > loaded up.

I gotta jump in on this. So y'all understand the perspective -- I learned to set type with real lead and tty bell codes. (After that, an enima would be a breath of fresh air!) I use TeX directly and write my own macros because _I_ want the control. I don't like LaTeX. TeX is a _typesetting_ system, designed to compose type according to the best standards established in 450 years of tradition. If one is not interested in creating well crafted type, TeX is definately not the way to go. If one is, I haven't seen anything else (available for free) that will do it. Troff is very good considering its design goals, but suffers the same limitations as LaTeX. TeX is infinitely flexible and expandable. The cost of this power is the learning curve. (I guess it's a bit like Unix and C ;) Troff was intended for documentation -- not well crafted books. And, yes, Knuth's books are definitely _not_ a quick and easy guide. They do, however, teach you why some of the arcana is important and are, in fact, the best documentation on TeX, I've seen. -- Jay On Mon, 22 Dec 1997, Greg Lehey wrote: > On Sun, Dec 21, 1997 at 03:55:16AM +0000, Ruslan Shevchenko wrote: > > John Kenagy wrote: > > > >> Now that I've about got a behemoth of a text processing system > >> loaded up.

I see three chips on the board: the bios, a motorola chip, and one marked: TRANTOR T101 S9406AJ (c) NSC 1992 The only device I have attached is a NEC external CDROM. It works from dos, and it seemed to probe fine from FreeBSD. However as soon as I try to mount a cdrom, I get a kernel panic. It appears that the panic is due to the initialization code in the driver failing to undo something -- it leaves the driver in a partially configured state -- so the panic isn't the crucial problem. Before I go further, here are the kernel config lines and the boot probe messages: controller nca0 at isa? port 0x360 bio irq 10 vector ncaintr device cd0 at scbus0 target 1 device sd0 device st0 Nov 16 23:53:29 base586 /kernel: nca0 at 0x360-0x36f irq 10 on isa Nov 16 23:53:29 base586 /kernel: nca0: type NCR-53C400 Nov 16 23:53:29 base586 /kernel: (nca0:1:0): "NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:501 2.0" type 5 removable SCSI 2 Nov 16 23:53:29 base586 /kernel: cd0(nca0:1:0): CD-ROM cd present [36059 x 2048 byte records] With a ``mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt'', I get: Nov 17 00:03:23 base586 /kernel: nca0/1/0 (cd0) timed out and then a panic (page not present).

It causes nca_init() to exit -- I think -- prematurly which eventually results in the later panic. (BTW, I tried running the driver in its non-interrupt mode, but the results are the same.) I then went into the driver and hacked away... I increased timeouts, ignored error returns in nca_init() and nca_select() just to see if I could get any more info -- I figured that if it was just the initial probe that wasn't quite right, maybe things would settle down during normal operation. Well, it now looks like the driver just can't talk to this card successfully. Running the driver in interrupt mode, there are so many boot messages that dmesg can't save them all. Running the driver in poll mode, here are some log messages from my brutally hacked driver while trying the mount: Dec 21 22:04:22 base586 /kernel.nca: nca0 at 0x360-0x36f on isa Dec 21 22:04:22

on the cdrom drive, but it seems as tho the driver just can't talk to the board correctly.... So where can I go from here? Should I write a PR? Does anyone support this driver? Should I dump the card and try to find an inexpensive NCR/symbios? controller -- if so, what are they called now? Thanks.

OK; this is a step in the installation which isn't ever done right. I spent 2 horus banging my head against this the first (and the second) time I installed X. Type this: ldconfig -m /usr/X11R6/lib The problem is, X searches through the ldconfig path for libraries, and it wasn't updated to include the X11R6 directory. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 22 19:49:02 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA26477 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 22 Dec 1997 19:49:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from shell.futuresouth.com (shell.futuresouth.com [207.141.254.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA26469 for ; Mon, 22 Dec 1997 19:48:57 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from fullermd@futuresouth.com) Received: from shell.futuresouth.com (mail.futuresouth.com [207.141.254.21]) by shell.futuresouth.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id VAA12311; Mon, 22 Dec 1997 21:48:48 -0600 (CST) Date: Mon, 22 Dec 1997 21:48:48 -0600 (CST) From: "Matthew D.

The other thing is that de sysconfig file under /etc was not found and I try installing one with /stand/sysinstall through the post-install option and it doesn´t build the file sysconfig. 3. I already use de fsck to check the system and no results. 4. One thing a notes is that it declare in the last line of the boot prompt befor the login line that cann´t resolve de networkname. The main things that bothers me is the FREEBSD AMNESIAC MSG. I figure something can be done befor jumping to the conclusion of reformatting the hard drive. Please if youall have any suggestion on how the bring it back alive, I´ll appraise it. Thanks for the help and I´ll be waiting for answer as soon as possible. Armando Campble. PD.

McGovern" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I apologize for the cross post. However, although this is a -question per se, I think its going to need a -hacker's opinion. I've been trying now for several days (and twice as many blanks) to be able to copy an audio CD that I originally put together under windows. The closest I've managed to get was static on the CD. A search of the mail archives yielded little on the topic, except for a plea many months ago before I gave up once on this endeavor. I hope to solve it this time around. I have an HP 4020i that I've been using to burn strictly data CDs. So far, its been working fine. What I'd like to do now is put together some strictly audio, and some mixed-mode CDs. Unfortunately, the documentation gets sparse. What I tried to do was to use cd-write (1.4) to extract the data from the CD. Usually, it fails during the end of a data disk with a read error. It seems to be able to do audio tracks... but I'm not sure, as I've never rewritten one successfully. I've also tried cdrecord. For some reason, it doesn't like my drive. I haven't tried wasting blanks on making it work. The CD tracks I'd like to use come from two sources. The first is an audio CD that I made under win 3.1 with the software that came with the CD drive. I basically played several of my MIDI files, and captured them back to WAV, then used the software to move the WAV files in to a CD format, and burn them. I then used a second CD to store all the original MID files, using a ISO 9660 format, a la mkisofs. Now, given these seperate sources, can anyone tell me how to read them back on to the harddisk, and then to write them back on to a merged CD? Thanks. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 22 20:52:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA00864 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 22 Dec 1997 20:52:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from blues.jpj.net (root@blues.jpj.net [204.97.17.146]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA00859 for ; Mon, 22 Dec 1997 20:52:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from benh@jpj.net) Received: from [192.168.10.1] (blake.eloquence.net [198.246.0.212]) by blues.jpj.net (backatcha) with ESMTP id XAA25227; Mon, 22 Dec 1997 23:52:22 -0500 (EST) X-Sender: benh@blues.jpj.net Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <199712230350.TAA00998@kjsl.com> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 22 Dec 1997 22:54:16 -0600 To: Javier Henderson From: Ben Hockenhull Subject: Re: Shooting yourself in the foot Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >Matthew D.

Booteasy (like lilo in linux) manage switching between OS. If you install FreeBSD after NT/95, you don't have to do other things. But if you install NT/95 after installation of FreeBSD, NT/95 removes Booteasy, so you have to install it again.

Thanks a lot in advance. If you're doing with with ipfw, it's a matter of finding the appropriate port ranges and enabling forwarding on those, but I'm not sure with ppp. Check the mail archvies.

Solution: reduce the port baud rate.

You have to either put the multiple users into a group or combine the groups' members into a new group. Only one user or group is permitted to own a file. Optionally, if you're trying to exclude a group of people, put them into a group, then remove all permissions for the group but set the perms for world; I call this ``access by exclusion.''

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I setup YP/NIS on a 2.2.5 machine the other day. I am trying to use the login.conf file on a slave machine but it seems like the class field isn't being passed over NIS. Is this the case or have I done something wrong? The class works properly if the user logsin on the NIS master machine. The login.conf files are the same on both the master and the slave. I also ran cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf. Is this just not possible as the class field isn't supported by all the different unix OSs? Also, do quotas on FreeBSD file systems work over NFS to other FreeBSD systems? What is the difference between the option rw,userquota and rq,userquota? One more question... Does the latest version of sendmail, 8.8.8, support quotas? I remember an older version required somebody to hack the source.

You can increase the font size of the xterms themselves; hold down Control and hold down the right mouse button on the target xterm. See xterm(1) for the appropriate resources to tweak. If you want to tune the default desktop resolution, see /etc/XF86Config; the first one in the Modes list for the current bit depth is taken as the startup default.

I am getting errors like those that follow in my daily security check, as well as popping up on the screen. What is causing these to occur and how can I fix them. To me it seems like a hard disk error, are there any programs like Scandisk for Win 95 built into FreeBSD 2.2.1? And if so what commands must I execute to run them.

Yup. :-) Software eject lock is fun. I've had times, though, that my Plextor forgets that it's been told to lock the CD and lets me eject it anyway. He might have one of these.

Again like last time during the cron daily maint at 2am it rebooted on its own. at about 5 seconds past 2 am it showed in the logs media changed then at about 15 seconds after 2am a reboot occured. :( Oh well, just have to force myself to remember to umount the cd before I open and change cd's.

Presumably I can edit out lower modes in XF86Config, but that seems a little crude. 2. I have been trying to configure a sound device, and I seem to have it right, but there is no /dev/snd0 and "MAKEDEV snd0" produces nothing but a small pause. What am I missing ? What information can I supply ? 3. I like to use Netscape for mail and newsgroups, but the version that comes with FreeBSD (the latest according to Netscape) works only while "online". I need to pick a utility to get my newsgroups from an AT&T newserver. "slurp" doesn't seem to work (for me), any particular recommendatons ? 4. Never having uses Unix for WYSIWIG word processing before, what is the best approach ? Sorry about all this, really, but the wealth provided with FreeBSD is a bit overwhelming. Geoff....

If you have your sources updated to 2.2.5, then: cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall make (DON'T "MAKE INSTALL"!) Then, you can install _manually_ the sysintall executable in some directory such as /usr/sbin: install -c -s -o bin -g bin -m 555 sysinstall /usr/sbin You must not replace /stand/sysinstall for the newly generated sysinstall. The files in /stand are "special". --JM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose M.

Use DOS and some commercial CDR mastering software. :-( Sorry, but that's the same answer we came up with when we embarked upon this same road here at Walnut Creek CDROM. Some audio CDs have very short gaps in between songs and this information is destroyed (and a frisbee produced) with any of the UN*X based mastering solutions we tried. I wish I could remember the name of the DOS software we now use for this now but it totally slips my mind. DOS, not being multitasking, is actually an ideal platform for a does-it-all CDR software solution since there are no drivers to get in the way nor any competition for the CDR or disk. A friend from the Linux camp went through this same process and now swears by the DOS solution - he tried all the Linux solutions and they all sucked in the same ways that the *BSD solutions did. :-( Jordan From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 23 08:13:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id IAA16977 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 08:13:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from awfulhak.demon.co.uk (awfulhak.demon.co.uk [158.152.17.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id IAA16955 for ; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 08:13:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from brian@awfulhak.org) Received: from gate.lan.awfulhak.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by awfulhak.demon.co.uk (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id PAA11050; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 15:57:37 GMT (envelope-from brian@gate.lan.awfulhak.org) Message-Id: <199712231557.PAA11050@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0zeta 7/24/97 To: "Joe \"Marcus\" Clarke" cc: FreeBSD User Questions List Subject: Re: ppp mtu/mru In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 22 Dec 1997 12:17:57 EST."

The default's 1500, not 1524. If you enable LCP logging, you should see that your ISP is requesting 1524. You can try set mtu 1500 to force your ISP to use 1500, but your ISP may (wrongly) re-request 1524 - causing a REQ-NAK loop and an ultimate connection failure. > Joe Clarke > -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

I am using the Thinkpad as a server for a Dec Network Computer. I have a similar setup using Gateway 486/66DX2 as server and it works flawlessly. However, my Thinkpad has network connectivity problems serving files to the NC. The NC uses TFTP to download boot image, then uses NFS to access root and usr filesystems on Thinkpad. TFTP seems to be OK, but NFS part flakes out. I get the following errors: /kernal: nfsd send error 55 (repeated many times) Also, pinging other UNIX boxes on my network gets this error: ping: sendto: No buffer space available Also, netstat -s shows many UDP datagrams dropped due to no socket. Looks like I need to do some TCP configuring, but I am very rookie with FreeBSD configurations. Any body have any suggestions (other than the obvious about the Thinkpad) on where/how to tune tcp settings? Also, is there any difference between 2.2.5 and 2.2.1 (my Gateway version) in networking, specifically NFS support?

I was wondering if there are any plans to incorporate full Apple File System Support in FreeBSD... I have a wonderful network running here with a UNIX File Server with NETATALK & Samba, supporting a large network of NT, Apple, and UNIX workstations and servers, but i have a slight frustration: Our graphic design workshop ships JAZZ, ZIP and Syquest drives back and forth to an external Print House, as well as to our clients. This is all fine and dandy except that i only have one drive of each, and they all hang off the FreeBSD box. If we get PC files, no problem... i wrote a script that allows our Mac-addicted Designers to mount the drive, and then access it though their Mac's 'Chooser' (gotta love netatalk!!). However, if we receive or have to send a drive in Apple's file system, i have to halt the server, yank the cables, bring the server up again, carry the drives over to my mac, do my business, then carry the drives back to the server, bring it down, hook it up again, bring the server up... It's inconvienient, ya know? If FreeBSD does not have any plans, then are there any other non-commercial i386 UNIX's that do? I can just install one of those on an alternative machine and NFS mount back to the main server if i have to. :) Regards, Mit Another other suggestions welcome, but no, mactools/hfstools are not what i want as i want to actually _mount_ the drive, and with r/w access if possible.

How the gear software works is that you sample each song into a file on the HD then build a disk from that. There is no CD to CD-R duplication. However, like I said, I haven't got the Yamaha working yet. Also, I had to give up my 100BT/FastWide SBUS card (that I had my fast/wide barracuda on) for testing. So I'd take the bet, if I had a stable system. But, I don't. If you want, when I'm stable again, I'll try for you if you want the disk.

The interactive performance is fine (in that a human can't see much difference between the performance via NFS vs. a local disk), but when it comes to transfering files, the NFS server performs extremely poorly. On local disks, I am able to get transfer rates in the megabytes per second; from the NFS server, I am seeing a ceiling of about 40 _kilobytes_ per second! It is so poor that I am actually able to see the difference connected over ISDN, where an FTP from the server would net 15 kBps, but I only get 9 FTP'ing from the mounted disk on one of the clients. I have tried using tcp, nqnfs and the readahead options, all of which do absolutely nothing performance wise. Is there something else I can try that might work out better? Is there an alternative to NFS? What about samba?

I have a soundblaster awe 32 card. Is there a way i could make the card work through the kernal. My second question Is a little more technical. I have run red hat and slackware before but have never run freebsd. They are simular and i have gotton the feel for it already but i have been recently asked to set up a small networking scheme. This projects involves setting up 5 freebsd machines (5 new pentium 200mhz machines with 64-128 mb ram). A mailserver, www server, Dns server, NFS and a telnet machine for general use for about 30 people. I was going to setup seperate machines running differnt daemons but i would like to try to run nfs. I understand nfs but i wanted to know two things. First of all would it be sensible to install all main files (ie usr files and all user directories) on the nfs machine with multiple disk drives or one big one (12gig/23 gig scsi)then just use small disk drives (1gig) for the other machines and mount all files accross like for the mail and our intranet/internet web server. Or is it better to have medium size disk drives (4 to 8 gig) on each machine and then mount each machine through the nfs machine. Or am i thinking completely wrong and i need to go back and read an nfs book. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

I was wondering if there was either an updated driver for that nic card, or if there was a way to increase buffering with NFs so that the machine will not hang when i use the 100bt connection. -- Thanks Sean Shilton From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 23 12:06:15 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA03619 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 12:06:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from pop.uniserve.com (pop.uniserve.com [204.244.156.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id MAA03612 for ; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 12:06:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from tom@uniserve.com) Received: from shell.uniserve.com [204.244.186.218] by pop.uniserve.com with smtp (Exim 1.73 #1) id 0xkaad-0000LR-00; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 12:06:07 -0800 Date: Tue, 23 Dec 1997 12:06:05 -0800 (PST) From: Tom To: Evan Champion cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Improving NFS Performance 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, 23 Dec 1997, Evan Champion wrote: > On Tue, 23 Dec 1997, Evan Champion wrote: > > > On local disks, I am able to get transfer rates in the megabytes per > > second; from the NFS server, I am seeing a ceiling of about 40 _kilobytes_ > > per second!

That is actually minimal traffic, Jim. You will spend far more on your 'net hookup than on your FreeBSD server. You will have more than adequate results from a 486 with 16 or 32MB. Remember that your Internet connection, even at T-1 speeds, is only 1.54MBits / sec., and even the slow 'net cards like ISA bus NE2000s are 10Mbit cards. Your worst problem is going to be buying a new computer that slow anymore. :) Actually, since there're lots of cheap Pentium motherboards out there, it doesn't pay to invest in anything less. Now even 72-pin SIMMs are being threatened. My favorite Iwill Pentium+SCSI motherboard is only available with SDRAM in the DIMM format... and SDRAM is NOT standard. There are many others though. You will do fine with an IDE-based system. Stick with the Intel chipsets, like TX. Stay away from the new LX and AGP stuff. Tyan, Asus and Supermicro boards have all reported good results, just check the chipset. You can load the console-based system with no X, and it will be quite happy in minimal memory, though you will discover that price pressure is such that small memory older systems cost as much as P100s with 32MB.

Your ISP ( many of them will have convulsions, just mentioning it) ,aka, REFUSE to do it. B. Pay Peanuts to either; http://www.dynip.com <-- I use this or http://www.monolith.com ( not sure about the URL) 2. Do some Tricks in DNS databses, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolve.conf to reload a set of values while OFFLINE, and another set of values (that include you dynamically allocated name) this can be done through ip-up, ip-down in the /etc/ppp Should you choose to do the Dynamic tricks, I'll be ready to help.

It made absolutely no difference whether or not I used tcp mounts. I was using identical options, with the exception that for NFS version 2 I specified 'nfsv2'. I tried using the small blocksize (rsize/wsize=1024), and it didn't help nfsv3 at all. So how is it that if both are running UDP with identical options, that nfsv2 is about 100 times faster than nfsv3 on my net? :-) Evan From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 23 12:19:21 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA04558 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 12:19:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from capricorn.loopback.com (loopback.com [205.243.146.33]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA04548 for ; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 12:19:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from elazich@capricorn.loopback.com) Received: from localhost (elazich@localhost) by capricorn.loopback.com (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA19044 for ; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 12:48:26 -0600 (CST) Date: Tue, 23 Dec 1997 12:48:26 -0600 (CST) From: Eli Lazich To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: DOOM 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 DOOM and LINUX emu installed.

However, when I try to mount the CD-ROM as a normal user mount replies: cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Operation not permitted Something similar happens when attempting to mount the floppy drive.

Reboot into Single user mode at the FreeBSD boot prompt enter -s 2. cd /dev 3. ls -l | more ( check out what's there) 4. if you find a file named MAKEDEV then you are NOT out of luck. 5. ee MAKEDEV 6. read the names of the devices 'CAREFULLY' , write some on paper. 7. type 'ESC' to exit from the editor (DO NOT SAVE the FILE) exit without saving from the ee editor. 8. to create a device issue the command (exactly); ./MAKEDEV dev0 dev1 .... etc where dev0 and dev1 are VALID device names 'from the MAKEDEV itself' 9. after ALL devices are created, reboot. (Multiuser mode-just hit enter) 10. test whatever you were testing before the mishap. 11 if in trouble ASK US AGAIN, DO NOT do anything RATIONAL.

I have burned 10s of them, all on FreeBSD :-) You just need the right program.

(boilerplate 3c905 response follows) The 3c905 is just a low-quality card. Check out http://www.3com.com/0files/products/dsheets/400243a.html, and look at the "Transmit/Receive Buffer Memory" section. It has an 8k buffer, partitioned by default at 4k xmit, 4k recv. At 100Mbps, the card will never be able to receive a full 8k NFS packet without dropping a fragment. NFS retries by resending the entire 8k packet, and that's where your deadlocks are coming from. At 10Mbps, the card is able to process an entire 8K packet, so your deadlock disappears. You can try mounting the NFS volumes with -r1024,-w1024,-I512, which will force 1K NFS packets. Interestingly enough, the ISA version (the non-XL version) has a 64k buffer, but the PCI version has the 8k buffer.. You might want to try another network card, if you can. The DEC 21140-based cards are supposed to be good, and the Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B is also a good card. I can sustain 5MB/s reads over NFS from a P6/200 server to a P133 client with EE/100B cards in both machines. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 23 13:39:50 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id NAA11331 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 13:39:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from send1b.yahoomail.com (send1b.yahoomail.com [205.180.60.23]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id NAA11326 for ; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 13:39:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from osiris2002@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <19971223213927.2956.rocketmail@send1b.yahoomail.com> Received: from [194.79.98.68] by send1b; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 13:39:27 PST Date: Tue, 23 Dec 1997 13:39:27 -0800 (PST) From: Charlie Roots Subject: Re: Shooting yourself in the foot To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there; Trying Unorthodox things with FreeBSD, without knowing how to rverse them is a dangerous profession.

This isn't fair. From my understanding the Pcemu stuff, and Wine are NOT done by the FreeBSD guys (not to take anything away from their rather superb work). So, give credit where credit is due: No one, and I mean NO one has got the inspiration or the deterination like the FreeBSD, Wine or Pcemu guys. Cool. > 3. Linux is NO-WHERE near FreeBSD. I agree with this in a technical sense, and as some of you might realize, I have only recently begun using FreeBSD (and I still use Linux). FreeBSD _does_ have many system-level advantages to Linux. That said, does FreeBSD run Linux's DosEmu? So what do you do if you want to run Duke Nukem, or Terminal Velocity. Pcemu wont run em.. if you run FreeBSD, you boot to DOS. If you're in Linux, you boot DosEmu. Now, this really has nothing to do with FreeBSD, as much as it does with FreeBSD _support_ .. for the average guy who wants to learn Unix or is just tired of Microsoft products, then I recommend Linux. Why? Because there is more support for it. This average guy isnt a power user, he isnt gonna want to mess around with Linux emulation any more than he has to.. I can tell you, if I called Wolfram Research and said "I'm having trouble with my Linux copy of Mathematica" I wont get as good support as if I was using it for Windows or Solaris or something. This is just a fact of life. Now call them as say "I cant get Mathematica for Linux to run under Linux emulation in FreeBSD" .. if they just hang up consider yourself lucky. This is just a cold, harsh reality. I dont particularly like it myself. I am an eclectic type guy. Right now, for instance, I'm using a Macintosh for some graphics work, with a telnet session to my Linux and FreeBSD boxes, along with a few X apps from the Linux system. I'd _prefer_ to see Apple do well and get lots of good stuff out there for the Mac.. and I'd prefer to see FreeBSD and Linux forge ahead and become dominant forces in the Unix market. Unfortunately, however, this probably wont happen. Apple is gonna die, I think.. and chances are FreeBSD and Linux wont be dominant.. this is life.. I dont remember the Big Guy telling me it would be fair. > All Linux people, Flame me, but this Will NOT change the > TRUTH. (if interested in comparisons, there are some URLs). Instead of all the rabble rousing, I'd suggest getting Emacs out and directing some energy into _code_ good, portable code that'll strengthen the *BSD's, and, heaven forbid, Linux too. The Cypherpunk's have a saying "Cypherpunk's write code." At first, I just read over this little gem, but time and again it has proven to be one of the wisest things that has grown out of the net.. > ALL hats off for the FreeBSD TEAM. Agreed! And, while I'm at it, here's a shout out to the Wine guys, Apple developers, the cypherpunks, and yeah.. the Linux guys too.

I am setting up a firewall for our (as yet undelivered) internet line and my predecessors decided to make our interior network 126.0.0.0/24. I plan on changing this but for testing purposes of natd & ipfw I have left these alone. It appears that libalias is not doing what is says it should. I have natd started with -redirect_address 126.0.0.90 38.156.234.7 which according to the man pages for libalias & natd should allow outgoing requests from 126.0.0.90to appear as 38.156.234.7 and incoming requests for 38.156.234.7 to go to 126.0.0.90. Here is my network setup: 126.0.0.90 Internal machine 38.156.234.5 2.2.5-RELEASE with natd and ipfw running ed1 connected to 126.0.0.0/24 ed0 connected to 38.156.234.0/24 38.156.234.3 2.2.5-RELEASE I run natd like so on 38.156.234.5: natd -v -redirect_address 126.0.0.90 38.156.234.7 -n ed0 And I ping 38.156.234.3 from 126.0.0.90. Ping gets packets from 38.156.234.3 but when I look at the output from natd I see: Out [ICMP] 126.0.0.90 -> 38.156.234.3 aliased to 38.156.234.5 -> 38.156.234.3 In [ICMP] 38.156.234.3 -> 38.156.234.5 aliased to 38.156.234.3 -> 126.0.0.90 Now according to the manpages, the output above should have .5 replaced with .7 Any ideas?

Recommended depends a lot on what you'' be doing with the machine. Witing code or running WWW server etc etc and how to setup to have multi-boot between Windows 95 > and freeBSD OS. There is an entire section in the handbook dedicated to installing and running multiple OSes. In a nutshell it goes something like this: defragment your DOS/Win95 drive. Partition it using FIPS or Partition Magic or whatever. Install FreeBSD into the new, unformated partition. Install a boot manager to prompt which OS to boot into (like booteasy).

To uninstall FreeBSD use the disk partitioning software to remove the partition. Then run a DOS utility call FDISK /MBR to remove booteasy. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Adding in 140ms for the modem delay and double it, so you can see the results of your actions....1.34 seconds. But that doesn't really account for the delays I see, either -- once you've started a packet, you're committed to that packet, even if the kernel has accepted but a single byte of it. Thus, one can expect to see two second delays on occasion...in fact, it's more than "on occasion" if one's line is busy. Obviously, there's nothing one can do about the packet commitment thing, other than decreasing one's MTU (which I have done). Modem delays can be decreased by turning off compression and error correction (I've done the former but not the latter - my modems wouldn't sync when I tried that and I didn't have the time to play). But that still leaves well over a second of latency for interactive use.

This won't work as ppp daemonizes itself and init will then try to respawn ppp. The result is loads of ppp processes - all failing to run, and an unstable system that probably runs out of file descriptors among other things.

This sounds as if ppp was using up all the file descriptors. Was there only a single ppp running or was there loads of them (all spawned by init in /etc/ttys) ?

Your modem will lock its DTR at whatever speed was last used. The only way to reset it is to send an `AT' to the modem.

First install the ports collection, then cd to /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp2 and do 'make' and 'make install.' You will need to do some configuration on the dhclient script and conf file, but there are man pages for them. If your hostname changes in addition to your IP address, I have a patch for the dhclient script that will do that for you. >Also, even > though I hardcoded my IP address and put in the address of the > nameserver I cannot reference any sites by name, only address. > ping works great if I specify the address of a site but I get > 'host unknown' if I specify by name.

The best, or one you would like? :-) I'd say "forget WYSIWYG", but that's probably not what you want to hear. Otherwise, check out StarOffice or Lyx, both in the Ports Collection. Greg ------------------------------------------------------------ Creating new device nodes ------------------------- Just because the system supports a device doesn't mean that it automatically has a name. The name is an entry in the /dev directory, and needs to be added manually. If you boot a different kernel, you may have a mismatch between your /dev directory and your kernel--either you have names for devices which aren't included in the kernel, or you don't have names for devices which are included in the kernel. In addition, some devices don't have device nodes, for example Ethernet interfaces: they are treated differently by the ifconfig program. As a result, you may have to create device nodes in order to access the devices. For example, the system supports any combination of SCSI devices on a controller, up to seven of them, but by default only one tape and four disks are configured. If you add a second tape drive or a fifth SCSI disk, you will need to add device nodes to be able to talk to them. You can do this the hard way or the easy way. The hard way uses the mknod command (see the man page on page 908). The easy way uses the script /dev/MAKEDEV. For example, by default FreeBSD only supplies definitions for four SCSI disks. If you add a fifth SCSI disk, enter: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV sd4 create the device # ./MAKEDEV sd4s0a create the slice entries too MAKEDEV assumes that you are in the /dev directory, as indicated in this example. The names that MAKEDEV chooses aren't the most intuitive. You may have difficulty deciding how to tell it to build the devices you want. Here's an overview: Table 11-4.

You only need to rebuild the kernel if the device isn't mentioned in the configuration file at all. You can enable disabled devices with UserConfig. Enter '-c' to the boot prompt, enter 'v' when you get to the configuration editor, and then select the disabled devices. I've forgotten what you do to enable them, but the help will tell you--could be a TAB.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Look through the documentation for the boot loader, and see if you can find something that allows you to give new commands to init on boot up. If so, specify something like /bin/sh, which should give you a root shell at startup (before normal login takes place) then you can just use passwd, and then reboot.

And, come to think of it.. you could boot with a FreeBSD boot disk, manually mount your root partition on say, /mnt and then use an editor to delete the password entry.

You can use perl::DBD::net (requiare some hacking) 3. You can use CORBA ORB. (it is as 1, but cleaner) 4. If you need to provide info from database to WWW, then fastcgi-cgi bridge is for you. (details on http://www.fastcgi.com) I was used this tehnology, for me work quite well. 5. If you need to run you ORACLE apps on FreeBSD --- now I work under RPC-Oracle bridge. It consists from server on the mashine with native ORACLE client and client library on FreeBSD, which provide standart OCI interface. It mean, that if you have existing applications, writeln for ORACLE on C or C++ or oraperl, than you can recompile it under FreeBSD without any changes (one limitation --- I support only deferred mode) But I can not say, when it would be finished, becouse now I have many other work and development (in background mode) temporary stopped. Now cdemo2 work fine ;) If I will return to this stuff after holidays, than, I think near .02.98 full interface would be released. Yet one tip: Middleware solutions have better performace, in general, becouse native ORACLE clients are very big, and start slow. If you will run native ORACLE client as persistent service, and will start light client on request, it would be faster, then starting ORACLE client on each request. > Jeffrey Auerbach > Director of Technical Operations > StarMedia Network > (212)548-9618 > http://www.starmedia.com From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 23 17:55:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA00345 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 17:55:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from odyssey.apana.org.au (odyssey.apana.org.au [203.11.114.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA00339 for ; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 17:55:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dean@odyssey.apana.org.au) Received: from localhost (dean@localhost) by odyssey.apana.org.au (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id JAA09688; Wed, 24 Dec 1997 09:35:49 +0800 (WST) Date: Wed, 24 Dec 1997 09:35:49 +0800 (WST) From: Dean Hollister To: grcuerrier cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Lost root password In-Reply-To: <199712240043.TAA02258@host.cnwl.igs.net> 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, 23 Dec 1997, grcuerrier wrote: > One of my techs entered a new root password, which he has forgotten.

Its not the SCSI bus that's different. Its the PB MB and/or BIOS. Not all VL bus slots are bus master capable. Maybe it wasn't until the 3rd PC that you happened on a bus master VL bus slot. And then again there is the issue of the VL bus clock rate. Some MB's ran the VL bus at full CPU clock, a 486DX50 (not a DX/2) will probably run the VL bus at 50 MHz. Adaptec's plain 2842 would run at 50 MHz, the 2842A would not. Can multiple 1542's exist in a system at one time? Once Upon A Time I tried a 1542CF and NE2100 at the same time. The NE2100 didn't tolerate any other bus masters. Sold all my NE2100's for cheap. Am wondering if Leif had multiple bus masters on his failure systems and that caused the failures? I have a cheapo VL/PCI 486MB with AMD 5X86/133-P75. Not sure why I can't boot my 2842 non-A. It scans and detects the SCSI devices but attempting to boot ends up with a message that claims the A: disk isn't readable. Never made it to BootEasy. There wasn't a floppy in the A: drive. Putting a floppy in the A: drive doesn't work if A: is not the first device in the BIOS boot order. Moving the SCSI cable back to the 2940 in the same system and everything works (see dmesg snippet below). Is there a BIOS issue with the Adaptec 2842? I have one of the early ones, one the prior owner said was run at 50 MHz VL bus speed. Am pretty sure I'm not trying to run it over 33 MHz. Prior owner said, "I never could boot the 2842 either." Ain't PC's just dandy? If FreeBSD discovers the card during probe, has it passed the the bus master test? I can't hook anything to the 2842 until I get new/more cables or snag an external HD or tape from another system: FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE #0: Thu Dec 18 15:50:41 CST 1997 root@Grumpy.tbe.com:/usr3/src/sys/compile/GRUMPY CPU: AMD Am5x86 Write-Back (486-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x4f4 Stepping=4 Features=0x1 real memory = 33554432 (32768K bytes) avail memory = 30494720 (29780K bytes) ahc0: at 0x1c00-0x1cff irq 15 on eisa0 slot 1 ahc0: aic7770 <= Rev C, Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 4 SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle ... ahc1 rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:13 ahc1: aic7870 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ahc1 waiting for scsi devices to settle ahc1: target 0 Tagged Queuing Device (ahc1:0:0): "IBM DCAS-34330 S61A" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc1:0:0): Direct-Access 4134MB (8467200 512 byte sectors) (ahc1:3:0): "ARCHIVE ANCDA 2750 28077 -003" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ahc1:3:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x15, 512-byte blocks, write-enabl ed Other thing to note is the 2842 probes before the 2940, both in BIOS boot time and FreeBSD kernel probe time.

A user in the wheel group, with the root password, can become root and do almost anything. Users who have not proven themselves to be 150% reliable should not have root access.

So my question is, what flags for npx0 will optimize it for the Pentium or is it already OK by default. on my K6 i use 0x7, and that was easily found by searching the mailing lists. what about an intel pentium? thanks for your time & please cc your message via e-mail, jay jayrich@sysc.com From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 23 20:01:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA07486 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 20:01:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from awfulhak.demon.co.uk (awfulhak.demon.co.uk [158.152.17.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA07479 for ; Tue, 23 Dec 1997 20:00:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from brian@awfulhak.org) Received: from gate.lan.awfulhak.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by awfulhak.demon.co.uk (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id BAA18064; Wed, 24 Dec 1997 01:48:45 GMT (envelope-from brian@gate.lan.awfulhak.org) Message-Id: <199712240148.BAA18064@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0zeta 7/24/97 To: Chris Aubuchon cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: natd/libalias question In-reply-to: Your message of "Tue, 23 Dec 1997 15:12:58 CST." <9712231512.aa08867@commlet.commlet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 24 Dec 1997 01:48:45 +0000 From: Brian Somers Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Greetings, > > Do the packet aliasing functions in libalias only work with private > IP addresses? 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16.

What you have to do in netscape is on the floppy image download page (on the FreeBSD server) is to hold down the [COMMAND] [OPTION] keys while clicking the link to the floppy image (the blue text link). Then a dialog will ask for a location to save on your hard drive. I think the reason the file downloads to the browser, and not to a file is the filename is boot.flp and the .flp is not a recognized file type (like .sit, .txt, .exe etc...). Someone correct me if I'm wrong :-) You can fix this by using setting a new mime type in your Netscape preferences to always save to disk for files with the .flp file extention/prefix. As for AOL's browser, I haven't used it lately so I can't help you with that. Ben BTW; You should not be able to use OpenTransport & MacTCP at the same time. It's one or the other, although they both exist, one should always remain invisible while the other is active - or that may be a problem... Also, try the latest version of OT, which (*I think*) is 1.2.1 availible from www.info.apple.com which may fix the problem.

I don't know how long it's been since BSD had a 2 GB partition size (if ever), but I've been running a 4 GB partition for several years now. The original document ``A Fast File System for UNIX'', in 1984, mentions that it could support individual files of up to 4 GB, but it's possible that there were other restrictions. For a long time, System V had a 2 GB limit on s5fs (the old System V file system derived from the Seventh Edition), but I don't think anybody uses that file system any more. Some System 5 implementations of ufs are also limited to 2 GB, for no good reason.

To get around a lost password at this stage will require you to boot off of a floppy. Here is what I have had to do in the past when my root password was lost: 1) Boot from freebsd boot floppy 2) execute emergency shell 3) mount /dev/sd0a (or /dev/wd0a if using ide drives) /mnt 4) cd /mnt/etc 5) mv master.passwd master.passwd.save 6) mv passwd passwd.save 7) cp /etc/passwd passwd 8) cp /etc/master.passwd master.passwd 9) cd / 10) umount /mnt 11) reboot This allowed me to boot off the harddrive and get a root shell. At this point, I moved passwd.save and master.passwd.save to passwd and master.passwd, issue passwd -l root and re-enter a new passwd.

I have a local network at home with 4 computers on it. These are a FreeBSD box that has a ppp auto dialup link to my IPS, 2 HP workstaions, and a Linux box. The default gateway for all the machines on my network is the FreeBSD box which is using packet alliasing. One of the HP's is the NIS server, and the other is the DNS server. I have a second phne line coming inot one of the HP's. This line is set up tu answer with fax tones, but if no connection is established it presents modem tones that lead to a login prompt. I have a laptop runing FreebSD that I want to be able to make a PPP connection to this network. I have set up ij-ppp on the HP. So far I can get an automatiic login and ppp makes it's connescion. I have even managed to ping, and telnet between the Hp and the lpatop nav vice versa. Now here is the problem, I can not ping other machines on the networ, or machines out to the net via the gateway. I suspect this is a problem with how I am seting up the routing tables on the HP, but I am not certain. Could some kind soul give me some words of wisdom here. Also does the Hp need 2 hostnames now that it has 2 IP addresses? Thanks. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 770-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95.

I would guess this is becuase when ppp dials out during a cron job for mail, when there is no more mail I use kill -INT in the script to drop the connection, but all the routes remain in place.

No, I run ppp from the command line manually. I think that getty's message may have been caused by me banging away on the keyboard in frustration just before all the vtty's logged out. > This sounds as if ppp was using up all the file descriptors.

Ive been back at 0820 of ppp for the last week so have not retrured to 1215.

The ISC version is currently in active development, and suggestions/patches/etc. are being solicited. The beta is quite good, and according to the traffic on the mailing lists is being used in production environments. Your best success will be in downloading the FreeBSD ports collection and using the isc-dhcp2 entry in /usr/ports/net. If you have freebsd machines that need the dhclient script to change their hostname, I have a patch for the script to do that, feel free to mail me about it.

I'm rather surprised. I've had less pleasant results in getting support for obscure configurations with WR. Ah well, I retract the above, then. On the other hand, to be fair to WR, I've gotten lots of great support too, so I suppose its just how people are feeling on a given day..

I'm on both lists, but I'm trying to break my cross-posting habit. :) Also, what I'm doing here might be more complicated than it needs to be, but please bear with me since this is my first real scsi disk, and I'm fairly excited. :) I am getting an IBM DCAS 34330 UW for Christmas (based on recommendations here, thanks). I currently run DOS, OS/2 and FreeBSD -Stable on a 1.6 gig WD Caviar IDE. I will be adding the 34330 to my adaptec 2940 UW which up to this point has been badly underutilized running my zip disk. My current configuration is roughly, 180 M for DOS, 700 M for FreeBSD, and the rest for OS/2. What I would like to do is split the 34330 2 ways, with 1/4 of it dedicated to OS/2, and 3/4 of it for FreeBSD. The IDE drive will then be partly DOS, partly OS/2, and I'd like to leave one partition on it for FreeBSD, either for /usr/obj or /usr/src, and maybe a little more FreeBSD space. To complicate matters slightly, at some point in the upcoming year I want to build myself a new system, and the scsi card and scsi disks will be going into it, and the current IDE HD will be dedicated to freebsd with the intention of making my current machine a server. Now, my quetions are as follows. 1. Does my plan sound reasonable? I've been following things on the lists here for a while now, and I think I've planned for the best possible use of the two disks, but this isn't really my area. 2. Which filesystem should go on the "slow" IDE disk, /usr/obj or /usr/src? And will the make world benefits of having those two filesystems on different disks be worth it when one of them is IDE? If it makes any difference, the IDE drive is alone on its bus, with a CD-ROM on the other bus. 3. Is it at all desirable/necessary to split slices on a hard disk on physical platter boundaries? And if so, how do I determine where the divisions should be? The DCAS spec says it has 4 platters, which is one reason for me wanting to split the disk 1/4 and 3/4 above. It so happens that this also fits my needs. Disk labelling in FreeBSD is still pretty greek to me, so if you can help with this I need details. :) 4. Rather than blow away the last few months of work in the freebsd installation I have, I was thinking of installing freebsd all new on the scsi disk, then moving parts from the old installation to the new one. I have OS/2's Boot Manager on the IDE disk, and that's going to stay as is. I'm thinking the easiest way to get FreeBSD on the scsi disk is to install the scsi disk, slice it under the old freebsd install, remove the ide disk, and install FreeBSD on the scsi disk as if it's the only disk in the system. Then I can re-install the IDE disk and whack Boot Manager into shape. Does this sound reasonable? 5. If I'm understanding things correctly, FreeBSD's UFS is using a 4k inode size. Has anyone done any studies on whether this is optimal or not? I know from my OS/2 experience that the formula for optimal inode size is related to average file size, adjusted for anomalies in the distribution curve. For instance, every 512 byte directory entry wastes 3.5k of its inode on a 4k inode system. OS/2 has used 512 byte "inodes" in its HPFS system for years, and I'm wondering if the cost to UFS of managing the higher number of inodes would be worth the disk space savings. The wastage with 4k inodes averages out (in an ideal world) to 2k per file. This is much less significant on a 3+ gig slice, but for example I couldn't put the ports collection on my 96 M zip disk till I newfs'ed it with a smaller inode size. Any comments/suggestions welcome. :) 6. When I install FreeBSD on the scsi disk, any suggestions on sizes of the partitions? Obviously I won't have to worry too much about space, but I'd prefer not to waste any if possible. I want to install the linuxulator, and just about everything else. :) Anything else I should be thinking of? I would really like to get this right the first time, so I am very open to suggestions. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Since you can't rm it (from your other msg), you may have to use ls -i to find the file inode and clri to manually remove it, then run fsck to kick it out to /lost+found. That is a tricky and potentially dangerous procedure however.

I think the last explanation for this is one of the following: 1. Your system clock isn't consistent. 2. Your system is blocking interrupts for excessive periods of time. It's harmless, if annoying.

The bootloader can get confused in this instance. Basically: 1. Use DOS FDISK and delete the Primary DOS partition on slice 4. 2. Use sysinstall to create a FreeBSD slice on slice 4. Partition as desired. 3.

See dump(8) for full details. /dev/nrst0 specifies to not rewind the tape after dumping, this way you can dump filesystems end-to-end. See st(4) for details on the various open modes for the SCSI tape device.

An INT will tell ppp to terminate the current connection if any (you should really use `pppctl ... close' - it's more `polite' to the peer). When in -auto, -ddial or -dedicated mode, this will not result in ppp exiting - therefore your routes will remain (unless ppp.linkdown says otherwise). > > Are you trying to run ppp from /etc/ttys without the -direct switch ? > > This won't work as ppp daemonizes itself and init will then try to > > respawn ppp. The result is loads of ppp processes - all failing to > > run, and an unstable system that probably runs out of file descriptors > > among other things. > > No, I run ppp from the command line manually.

In background mode, ppp establishes a connection and then slips into the background, the parent returning 0 for success. This is the best thing to use for overnight scripts. You can tell if you got the connection (and can continue), and when ppp is `closed', it exits.

Check your routing, the packets are getting stalled out trying to figure out where to go. You should have a default route pointing at your router or gateway. That should take care of it.

Did you try `ifconfig de0 down' then `ifconfig de0 up'? Make sure your network is clean, ie you don't have hubs rebooting all over the place or wire running next to large motors or the like.

If you want to go to that level of work. When I bought my 2gig SCSI, I formatted it as one giant partition, left the main OS on the IDE and moved filesystems that are going to grow, particularly /usr/local, on over and symlinked them across.

Probably, or else they wouldn't have picked it. :) I suspect there are papers out there in obscurity where people have measured performance on various inode sizes and numbers.

I think we need a lot more information for this. It sounds to me like you have an automatic file system check failing when you boot. Could you describe what happens, please? For reference, the device files are just names which point to tables in the kernel. It is possible to lose them, but the results wouldn't quite be what you describe.

The device is called a display board. You'll need one display board per monitor. Before you go out buying another one, check exactly what you're going to do. If you buy the Xi Graphics server (currently $375 for multi-head), you'll have to check what boards they support; there aren't many, and they're not even the same as the previous version. I can't upgrade my old version because the new one doesn't support the boards I'm using with the old version.

This is probably because they don't work as well as they do on the stock P5. On real Pentiums keep the flags at 0.

This question came up on -hackers in the last day or so in connection with wine. The replies indicate that it's some kind of Microsoft header file, and that it shouldn't be used under UNIX: there should be some kind of #ifdef. You might like to check if that fits in with what your package wants.

I'm trying to use the man page for natd from 2.2.5, maybe against a misconception of what I might be able to do with NAT. My notion of what NAT does is this (roughly), in a context of having say, an Ascend Pipeline connecting an office to the Internet via ISDN. The Pipeline's NAT feature allows all the machines in the office to use a phony network, e.g. 192.168.2.0/24, while the Pipeline itself connects to the ISP at a single fixed address, e.g. 207.105.23.156/32. This means the Pipeline has to "proxy", in a sense, for all the machines on the 192.168.2 net, translating the traffic as coming 'from' 207.105.23.156. I don't know if the Pipeline really does that. On the face of it, the Pipeline has a big job keeping track of what packets it expects to receive back from the outside world in response to packets sent in behalf of the phony-net clients. I probably don't understand that a TCP connect is made from an (anonymous?) port on the client machine, to e.g. port 80 on a server for http, for example. Maybe this is not as hard as it seems. Now I'm trying to do a variant of the normal "grail" use of NAT. I have a gateway box at 207.105.6.18 with two interfaces, ed2 and ed3. ed2 is the "live" connection, defined as 207.105.6.18. ed3 is defined as 192.168.254.2/24, and I have a test client box connected to that, the client's interface ed1 is defined as 192.168.254.22/24. The gateway box is supposed to "NAT proxy" for the client-side network so that client-side machines can use normal Internet services like mail, http, ftp. I'm not even considering telnet, but if I did it would be outgoing only, of course. The man page appears to address the use of one machine in itself. I don't see how to get traffic from the client THROUGH the gateway to the outside. Traffic to/from the gateway itself doesn't need to be modified, but it's not clear how to get the 192.168.254.22 traffic to be "remarked" as coming from 207.105.6.18 as needed so that it will be routed properly, and then returned back through NAT. It could be a simple config thing, or a set of port mappings per client-side machine in a long natd config file ... as long as it works. Anyone can shed light on this? Books, examples, configuration files?

According to Micro Firmware (www.firmware.com/pb4ts/over2gb.htm), the problem is that Phoenix BIOS as of 4.03 doesn't use enough bits in CMOS RAM to properly hold the disk parameters for IDE drives over 2GB, even though the drive itself does properly autodetect. This problem applies to Phoenix BIOSes prior to 4.03.6.08 released 6/28/96. As I stated previously, once Linux is running, everything's OK. I have filesystems mounted on it and use it in every way as a standard drive. So I know the drive is really OK. What I've done is to buy a 1G drive that my BIOS does operate correctly with, and use that. Sure enough, FreeBSD finds out about it OK. So, as far as I'm concerned, this problem is resolved. > Linux must have a super-agressive IDE controller probe to find > something > even the BIOS can't. Linux's philosophy is to totally ignore the BIOS as soon as possible - i.e. as soon as code which is loaded by the BIOS - and hence can rely on it to at least get to the drive from which it loaded that code - has got all of itself in. (Editorial) In my opinion, this is a better policy, because it shields the OS from problems associated with the vagaries of old BIOSes in systems which are being upgraded on a piece by piece basis. Given the hacker propensities which motivate someone like me to install FreeBSD on his own system, this seems to be the preferable approach, and I think FreeBSD would improve its competitiveness and interoperability by doing likewise. An additional reason for trying for BIOS independence is that its easier to fix problems if the offending code is part of a software distribution that can be modified, rather than BIOS PROM code - which is much more difficult to fix. The counter arguments, of course, are that: As systems with old BIOSes get older, they get fewer; so this is a self correcting problem. In the meantime, staff resources are limited, and there are other things to do. However, I would point out that using the BIOS restricts addressability to - at best - 24 bits of block addresses using Extended CHS addressing. Using LBA mode, you can get 32 bits of block addresses. And if anything is certain, it is that the number of blocks on EIDE drives will eventually expand beyond what 24 bits can address. (end Editorial) Again, thanks for your responsiveness, and - again - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I used /stand/sysinstall to delete slice 4 and created the slice again as a freebsd partition. I then used the disklabel editor to create a new partition in the slice. When I tried to write the disklable sysinstall died with a segmentation fault. However I was able to newfs /dev/rsd0s4c. It probably is using the default disklabel, as I specified sd0s4e in the sysinstall disklabel. In retrospect I probably could have used fdisk to change the type of the slice to FBSD and the just do a newfs. In my case the FBSD slice that contains the root filesystem is before the new fs in slice 3. If this was not the case, would I be able to boot from the second slice of type 165? The boot prompt only allows a drive and a partition, not a slice. Thanks again ...

My concern is (1) Whether, upon some future upgrade, this new code will break existing systems which use the 'c' slice; and (2) Is your new code likely to cause headaches during new installs (especially for those of us who use the 'c' slice to allocate an entire disk)? What does your new slice code affect? Why do you refer to the 'c' slice as special? Any heads up you can give will be greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Norman C.

The correct name fo rthat 'partition' would be the same name, with just the s1 (or maybe without that if you don't even have slices..) Theoretically you should be able to make a filesystem on, /dev/sd0 [whole disk is one filesystem] /dev/sd0s1 [whole of first slice is one filesystem] /dev/sd0s1a [a sub-partition of the first slice is a filesystem] /dev/sd0a [a sub-partition of a dangerously dedicated disk is a filesystem] The first two may not work right now but the same effect can be achieved by defining the 'a' partition to be the whole area. using the 'c' partition relies on something that 'while currently true' is not necessarily logically correct. If you were a unix newby.. and you wanted to makw a filesystem on the whole disk which would be the device you would expect to use? sd0 sd0s1c sd0s1a the answer is: "If you wanted to do the whole disk, why bother partitionning it at all?" sd0 "If you were going to partition it then why use 'c'? what's so magic about 'c'?" The usual correct answer is to use 'a' and keep 'c' hanging around for compatibilty. If you actually use 'c' now, it's no real work to define an 'a' that covers the same area. So the long answer to your question is: 'c' was defined to be special back when disklabels were first introduced because once htey subdeviced a disk, they had no other way of specifying the whole disk. This is not true in FreeBSD so it is relying on the continuance of this 'compatibilty feature' to expect 'c' to always do what you expect. If we ever 'recover' teh 'c' partition in teh same way that we recoveredd the 'd' partition (which used to be special too) then 'c' will become just another partition. In my new code, 'c' is not needed and since I don't allow overlapping partitions to be shown in /dev, 'c' is not shown by default. I have just realised that 'c' is not overlapping for you, so it probably will show up on your system... hmmm let's just say that using 'c' as a partition instead of defining a new one has always been 'ok' but not done by people who want to avoid trouble in the future.

(i.e. the paranoid). [snip] I will consider myself forewarned. I guess the habit of using the 'c' partition (from my Sun3/Sun4 days) needs to be broken. I hope that the use of 'c' partitions on existing systems won't end up biting me -- time will tell. If this does end up biting me, I will take your advice and "convert" to using the 'a' partition.

Evan there is a definite difference between a crashed mail server (in which case the mail will wait quietly somewhere for delivery) and a server that spams the list with 3 dozen annoying messages. remember also that it may have been a 15 minute stuffup on your part but the slow and tortuous delivery of mail to some parts of the world mean that people were getting these messages over a period of hours. it's possible that jmb was a bit quick, but that's the luck of the draw and really it's a judgement call by him.

I think the problem here is that you're trying to do this manually, where it is much more difficult to work these things out. I think you need to look in to some list management software that can do it for you. When I used to run a 60K user mailing list (well, it was 30K at the time, and grew to 60K when the user moved), I used to do what you did. But even that was a lot of effort, so I moved to qmail+ezmlm, which does bounce management automagically. It will do things like see if you are bouncing for more than a certain number of days, then send a probe message to say that you'll be nuked if the probe isn't delivered, then a few days after you are unsubscribed you'll be sent another message saying that you were unsubscribed. It will also tell you which messages you missed etc. I don't mean to suggest that you move to qmail+ezmlm (though I run qmail myself and love it), but rather to indicate that there is a better way of doing things... As for subscribing people to a bounces list... Well, I don't particularly like that, because on top of subscribing to my mailing lists again, I also need to unsubscribe from the bounces list. I'd much rather just get a note a day or two after being unsubscribed. Anyway, I don't think this has much to do with freebsd-questions any more.

You're taking the last line of the netstat output, but you can't rely on the netstat output to be in any particular order. I didn't answer this question the first time round because I didn't understand it. If you're just looking for the IP address of a specific interface, such as your end of your PPP link, you could do something like # ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet | awk '{print $2}' > file Use 'tun0' instead of 'ppp0' if you're using user PPP.

By default, most machines do not perform packet forwarding, since RFC 1122 prohibits packet forwarding by default. You'll have to find out how to turn it on on the HP. This could be as simple as setting a parameter. For example, in FreeBSD you just enter: # sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 It's more likely, though, that you're going to have to build a new kernel on the HP with the option IPFORWARDING. I don't know HP, so you'll have to find out some other way. > Could some kind soul give me some words of wisdom here. Also does the > Hp need 2 hostnames now that it has 2 IP addresses? Well, you don't need two IP addresses for the two interfaces. You can use the same address for both. But if you want to leave it that way, no, you don't need another name, and it's not a good idea.

You need the CD-ROM drive to be installed with a CD-ROM in it at the finish of the boot phase. You might be able to do something by going into UserConfig, though, and swapping the drives while you're there. > And is it dangerous to switch them around? You mean, for the components? You should check your laptop manual there. I'd guess that it's possible, but I don't take responsibility, so check first. Another alternative might be booting directly from CD-ROM, if your laptop supports it.

As I understand the Network Time Protocol (NTP), that's not necessary. Other than network proximity to the host (i.e., is it easily reached from your box?), you shouldn't need to worry where the server is located. `http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/database/FAQ/faq2Earn.htm#arang' appears to confirm that understanding: As others have pointed out, un*x systems and ntp all work in UTC (Zulu or GMT) time. The entire xntp package only uses timezone to display times in the logfile or to display to the user. ntpdate -d lists the ref, orig, and xmit times in this process's timezone by using the localtime() call, and then once more at the end when it prints the syslog'ish line.

Sorry, it's not (just) some kind of Microsoft header file; it's a new ANSI header file that provides support routines and definitions for wide characters. In addition to being provided by the MS Visual C++ development environment, it's available on Solaris 2.5. The functions/macros it provides are also available on other commercial Unices--such as Digital's version of OSF/1, HP/UX 10, and AIX 4.2--even though they don't provide the header file. (You include either or to get them, depending on the OS flavor.) I find I miss the functionality on FreeBSD, in fact, when I try to port certain software (namely stuff I'm doing at work) onto my boxes at home. P.J. Plauger's DinkumWare site (`http://www.dinkumware.com/') has this to say on the subject: `http://www.dinkumware.com/htm_cl/wctype.html#': Include the standard header to declare several functions that are useful for classifying and mapping codes from the target wide-character set. Every function that has a parameter of type wint_t can accept the value of the macro WEOF or any valid wide-character code (of type wchar_t). Thus, the argument can be the value returned by any of the functions: btowc, fgetwc, fputwc, getwc, getwchar, putwc, putwchar, towctrans, towlower, towupper, or ungetwc. You must not call these functions with other wide-character argument values. The wide-character classification functions are strongly related to the (byte) character classification functions. Each function isXXX has a corresponding wide-character classification function iswXXX. Thus, is analogous to : It provides macros such as islower(), iswupper(), towlower(), towupper(), iswpunct(), etc. Complete info is available at the above URL. (The topic index page is helpful; it's located here: `http://www.dinkumware.com/htm_cl/_index.html'.) According to `http://www.dinkumware.com/htm_cl/lib_over.html#Amendment', "The headers , , and are added with Amendment 1, an addition to the C Standard published in 1995." See `http://www.dinkumware.com/refc.html' for a "complete HTML description of the Standard C Library, corresponding to ISO/IEC 9899 (1990) as amended in 1995." ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Real Programs don't use shared text.

I can't say for pppd, but with ppp, a simple ! /usr/local/bin/setIP MYADDR will do the job. Be careful, stdin, stdout and stderr are *not* available to `setIP', and you *must* have '#! /bin/sh' or similar at the top of `setIP'. The script may, for example be: #! /bin/sh echo $1 >/tmp/myfile You may alternatively want to use `!bg /usr/local/bin/setIP MYADDR' so that ppp doesn't wait for the command to complete. > Greg -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

However, there are some questions I have about it. I am looking to start either a Quake or Quake2 server. I am pretty 'dumb' when it comes to operating systems other than WIndows95, NT, etc. Early in 1998 I am able to buy a P200 or 233/32MgRam/1.2GbHDD as the server. I an also going to get a permanent connecting to my ISP via a 64K ISDN line (hopefully). Now for the questions. Can the FreeBSD program be an operating system on a stand alone/server or does it need other software components? If so, is it possible to run either Quake or Quake2 on it? Is the program a GUI or command line? And would the FreeBSD program be sufficient for my purposes or would I be better of running a UNIX system. Any help would be much appreciated, Many thanks, Leigh.

Chuck, With only two static IP addresses, and three machines, you're better off just using RFC 1918 addresses on your internal LAN, and employing network address translation (sometimes called "IP Masquerading") to permit the inside machines to talk "directly" to the Internet. RFC 1918 address ranges are specifically reserved for use on private (internal) LANs. Then, you can have `picnic' do network address translation to translate the internal addresses to legal Internet addresses when you connect out. Here's a modified version of your drawing, with some sample IP numbers. For this drawing, I've arbitrarily chosen to use the 192.168.1.x private network number for your internal LAN. ISP | | | 206.246.122.117 ------------ | FreeBSD | | (picnic) | ------------ | 192.168.1.117 | ============================== | 192.168.1.1 | 192.168.1.2 ----------- ---------- | FreeBSD | | NetBSD | ----------- ---------- Picnic's PPP interface gets the static IP address. Its ethernet address is an arbitrarily-chosen address from the private (hidden) network, as are the ethernet addresses for the other boxes. The three machines can talk to one another directly, and picnic can talk to the outside world directly. The two internal machines use picnic as a router; they believe they can talk directly to the outside world. However, it's not legal to route their packets directly to the Internet, because of the use of private LANs. So, when an inside packet destined for the Internet gets to picnic, it silently translates the packet's (illegal) source address to 206.246.122.117 before sending it on its way; when the response packet comes back in from the Internet, picnic translates it back. There are two ways to accomplish this feat, depending on which PPP you use. 1. If you use user PPP, there's a "-alias" switch that automatically does it all for you. Lots of people have great success with this approach; it has the advantage of being the simpler to set up than the kernel mode PPP solution. For details, see: a) The Pedantic PPP Primer, at `http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp.html'--specifically, the section on IP Aliasing, which is currently at URL `http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp21.html#24'. (NOTE: When the Primer talks about reserved IP addresses, it refers to RFC 1597. RFC 1918 is the updated version of RFC 1597.) b) The man page for user ppp, ppp(8) c) Brian Somers' web page, `http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/'. 2. If you use kernel PPP, you need to run the network address translation daemon (natd), and you'll need to use the kernel packet filtering (firewall) features to redirect specific packets to natd. This is the method I use, and it's worked perfectly for me for many months now. It's a bit more difficult to set up, in that you have to compile the IP Firewall code into your kernel; set up an appropriate set of filtering rules, including rules that'll redirect the appropriate packets to natd; and arrange to run natd when your PPP link comes up. I use this method over user PPP because I've historically used kernel-mode PPP (due to problems I had with the user PPP code when I first set PPP up 1.5 years ago); since it works, I've little incentive to switch to user PPP. Plus, I wanted to use kernel packet filtering (ipfw) for other reasons, so this approach makes sense for me. If you elect to go this route, you'll want to read through: a) The "Firewalls" section in the Handbook, currently at `http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook72.html#74' b) The ipfw(8) man page c) The natd(8) man page Regards, Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Success is what happens when something goes right. -- Arnold Glasow From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 27 07:20:39 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id HAA01147 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 07:20:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mailnfs0.tiac.net (mailnfs0.tiac.net [199.0.65.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id HAA01137 for ; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 07:20:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from scott@WireReady.com) Received: from scotttam ([206.105.157.218]) by mailnfs0.tiac.net (8.8.0/8.8) with SMTP id KAA16921 for ; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 10:20:32 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19971227092220.006872a4@pop.tiac.net> X-Sender: popscot2@pop.tiac.net (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 09:22:20 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Scott Tamosunas Subject: Installation question and Partition Magic Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I recently did an install and everything worked fine except when I went to run Partition Magic 3.0, it gave me error #110, which basically says that the file tables don't match up to what is on the disk. The way I configured my computer is the following: Computer = Pentium 233 MMX C drive = 1.2 Gb the first 800 Mb were a dual booting Win95/NT partition the next 398Mb were used for FreeBsd the last 2Mb were going to be used with Partition Magic's Boot Manager D drive - 1Gb used all as an extended partition for Windows I never got the boot manager installed becasue of the above problem. After this happened, I perused the web site and found a few articles that made mention that the root partition needs to be withing the first 1024 cylindars on an IDE drive. Now, I know this was a limitation with older BIOS that could not recoginze past that without a drive overlay. But my question is, is this still true for FreeBSD even with a newer BIOS? If so, is that what the problem with Partition Magic was? Thank you very much!!

Yes, that's all you need. There may be some BIOS dependencies, however: the BIOS needs to be able to read the disk. Older BIOSes had a 508 MB limit, which was circumvented in the Microsoft software after booting. > Does it matter if I've made it into an extended logical drive? It > is E: right now, and empty. Yes, it does. Unfortunately, an extended drive isn't a partition. If you mean you have one extended drive in the partition, then yes, you can delete the drive (you'll have to do that anyway), and replace it with a FreeBSD partition. > 2) I have an Asus motherboard with an AGP bus graphics card (ATI > Xpert@work).

I suppose it answers the question about older BIOSes, though. FreeBSD doesn't have its own graphics system. It uses the XFree86 server (comes with the distribution) or the Xi graphics server (comes after you pay $125). Your best bet would be to check out the corresponding web sites (http://www.XFree86.org/ or http://www.xig.com/) I'd guess that it not currently supported, and it won't take long before it isn't.

So I get set to install freebsd onto the new drive, with the plan of migrating my freebsd system from the IDE drive (controlled by OS/2's Boot Manager) to the scsi drive. What I want is this: IDE: Boot Manager or OS-BS (According to the adaptec book, if I have an IDE drive on the system, it will always be the boot drive.) C: DOS FreeBSD partition for /usr/obj (or /usr/src, whichever is better) OS/2 free space SCSI: FreeBSD System OS/2 System So I install FreeBSD just fine, tell it to put an MBR on the scsi disk (although I'm pretty sure I tried it both with and without), installation completes without erros. My problem is that both Boot Manager and OS-BS beta tell me that I can't boot the FreeBSD system I've got on the SCSI disk. I've twiddled all the settings on the adapter, so it SHOULD be bootable. Boot Manager tells me: "Selected partition is not formatted, hit any key." OS-BS tells me "No operating system." I've tried OS/2 fdisk, FreeBSD "fdisk" from sysinstall, even DOS fdisk (yuck :). I've searched the archives, and although there are numerous posts of questions similar to mine, there are not any real answers. The one thing in the archives that works is booting the freebsd system on the IDE disk, and telling it to run the kernel on the scsi disk. This works (in the sense that the freebsd installation on the scsi drive comes up) so I know that the installation is complete on the scsi side. In case it matters, I have the 4 gig scsi disk sliced two ways, with 3240M on the freebsd side and the rest free space where OS/2 is going eventually. One of the installations that I did I even deleted the ide controllers in the visual kernel configurator so that it would think it was the only disk in the system. Still no luck. I think I read somewhere in the archives that there is no way to make two completely seperate freebsd installations work on the same system, so if this problem will magically disappear when I delete the "old" freebsd slice, I can live with it till then. Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions on ways to fix this. Since this is such a FAQ, if someone wants to tackle a software solution, I'd be happy to test patches to -Stable.

Many terminal server manufactureres support multi-link protocol (not to be confused with ISDN bonding which is a different thing.) You will however need to ask your ISP is he supports multilink ppp. and it also makes a differnce if your multiple phome lines don't come into the same device.

It's my understanding that most ISPs don't support multi-line ppp, and the easiest way to get it to work would be to persuade an ISP using FreeBSD to install mpd. Julian indicates other possibilities in another message.

The boot manager for FBSD? Use /stand/sysinstall to install it. Works for one or two drives. Will not give drive 2 as an option if there are three drives in the system. Works fine for me if I pull an HD. I have three. Install it on both wd0 and sd0. > The one thing in the archives that works is booting the freebsd system > on the IDE disk, and telling it to run the kernel on the scsi disk.

Hint! Hint! Or some way of telling that little FBSD Boot: screen. I hope you get the idea. -- Kris Kirby ------------------------------------------- A Person is smart.

Not to be impolite but it sounds like maybe you don't have a clear idea of the magnitude of what you're discussing here. Writing an OS is a difficult thing. Mostly it's done by teams of programmers, either volunteer (like the FreeBSD, or OpenBSD, or NetBSD, or Jolt, of any of a horde of other names) or by companies like Microsoft, Next, or Apple. You'd have to be a combination of a really, really hot programmer and extreme masochist with a guaranteed income flow for a year or so to do it yourself. Saying you could learn programming and write an OS is really a statement that's so wildly unlikely, well, it's somewhat humorous. I'm being a little bit cruel here to show you that (while I'd encourage you to learn more, it's a great idea) it's not really reasonable to do what you're suggesting. Why don't you enumerate what you want in an OS, and lets see if maybe our free Unix OS, FreeBSD, can perhaps suffice in some way? If it doesn't hit in directly, seeing as the source code to all of FreeBSD is publicly available, you can probably either hire someone to make the modifications you desire, or maybe even learn enough to do that yourself. Hard, but a much more reasonable goal. Or if perhaps FreeBSD is unsuitable, we'll tell you so, and probably at least point you in the right direction. > > > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 27 21:19:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id VAA18355 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 21:19:05 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from transbay.net (mail.transbay.net [207.105.6.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id VAA18345 for ; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 21:19:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ecsd@transbay.net) Received: from synergy.transbay.net (synergy.transbay.net [207.105.6.2]) by transbay.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id VAA03176; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 21:19:10 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <34A5E14E.41C67EA6@transbay.net> Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 21:19:10 -0800 From: "Eric C.

I have a 'gateway' box: {office machines} ==> ed3 (192.168.254.2) ed2 (207.105.6.18) ==> Internet I had run natd against ed3, and you're saying I should be running natd against ed2 instead. That this should work implies the gateway will detect packets coming from 192.168.254.X and send them out as having come from 207.105.6.18, and then remap them properly out ed3 to the originator. The other concern is that traffic to/from the gateway itself not be disturbed. Evidently to eliminate this concern I should use the "unregistered_only" option? I wonder if natd will be able to handle the 'arbitrarily-sized' subnet on 192.168.254.X properly, from looking at the "redirect_address" examples in the man page. I guess less is more, I need say nothing at all about the phony-subnet users, as you say. Trials will tell. Thanks for the tips.

Some motherboards which have Award BIOS have a BIOS setting which determines whether to boot from IDE or SCSI. Fortunately my motherboard (Asus P/I P55T2P4) supports this option. I have been able to 'chose' which version of FBSD to boot from for several months now as I migrate to a completely SCSI system. I have been able for several months to boot 2 different versions of FBSD from either my SCSI drives or from my IDE drives. I'll finally 'pull the plug' on the IDE drives when I finally have everything settled exactly how I want it. Check the BIOS on your motherboard for this option. If you only change this setting you can then boot from the SCSI drive and then manually mount the IDE drive(s) to migrate your data. Hope this helps. - burton - From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 27 23:29:30 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA25085 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 23:29:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from misery.sdf.com (misery.sdf.com [204.244.210.193]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id XAA25073 for ; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 23:29:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from tom@sdf.com) Received: from tom by misery.sdf.com with smtp (Exim 1.73 #1) id 0xmCyM-0000EA-00; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 23:17:18 -0800 Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 23:17:16 -0800 (PST) From: Tom To: Greg Lehey cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: several networking questions ...

Julian indicates other possibilities in > another message. Think twice about signing up with any ISPs that uses FreeBSD for the actual dialin access. Dialin is quite specialized. Using anything but dedicated and specialized network access servers is just not scalable. Also, FreeBSD doesn't have support for the high-density digital delivery methods like PRI and CT1, as it requires specialized hardware. > Greg Tom From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 27 23:33:25 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA25378 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 23:33:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from send1b.yahoomail.com (send1b.yahoomail.com [205.180.60.23]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id XAA25368 for ; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 23:33:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rgireyev@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <19971228073307.3201.rocketmail@send1b.yahoomail.com> Received: from [199.174.180.72] by send1b; Sat, 27 Dec 1997 23:33:07 PST Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 23:33:07 -0800 (PST) From: Rudy Gireyev Subject: Re: Installation question and Partition Magic To: Scott Tamosunas , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Why were you running Partition Magic after you have successfully installed FreeBSD?

(they probably wil need to) Cisco and Ascend network access servers (not just for terminals) support multilink on both modem and ISDN. Livingston only supports multilink on ISDN (for the moment, as the PM3 is supposed to support multilink modem shortly). On dialin access, Livingston PM3's can appear as a single device, and will successfully link channels over multiple units. Configuration is easy. Cisco can also link over multiple units, but if you have more than two in the group, it best if you use a "helper" router (another Cisco doing route load balancing). I'm not sure how Ascend is handling this problem, as we got rid of our one and only MAX long ago.

One question you'll want to ask fairly soon is whether such an animal already exists. Good Luck!
