But there is a patch, ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/msdosfs-netbsd.diff.gz, that should add this feature. This patch merges NetBSD's msdosfs into FreeBSD-current. I don't have a FAT32 filesystem, so I didn't tested FAT32 support, but VFAT works. FAT32, apparently, works in NetBSD, so I believe it should work also in this patch.

I was very very excited to hear this news since I bounce around to a lot of sites in my day-to-day work. I took this info and the source to Greg's program and came up with this, which sets both the titlebar of the xterm window and the title of the icon (when it's minimized) in afterstep. I am assuming that it would work for other wm's too. I'm also using Bash 2.01.01 in case that matters to someone. PS1='[\u@ME \w]\n \#\$ '; export PS1 if [ $TERM = xterm ]; then export PS1="\[^[]1;My Desk^G^[]2;$USER@$HOSTNAME^G\][\u@ME \w]\n \#\$ " fi The first bit (^[]1;My Desk^G) sets the title of the icon. The next bit sets the titlebar of the window. I used $HOSTNAME because $HOST didn't work for me. To make the ^[ and ^G characters, you have to edit your .bash_profile in vi, and hold down ^V (Ctrl-V) first, then continue to hold down Ctrl and push [ or G. It may be possible to do it in pico, but I didn't spend any time trying to figure it out. :) Of course, in order to make it work for remote hosts, you have to duplicate the same process in the .bash_profile on those hosts, putting appropriate names for the icon and such in there. Once again, huge thanks to Shawn and Greg for helping me cross one of my oldest "Things I really want to get working someday" projects off my list.

I have just installed the 2.2.5 ver of freebsd and all is well except for Xwindows. When I enter XF86Setup and enter my monitor and card settings it CAN, yes can, start the X server in 800x600 resolution. But, when I run startx it goes to 800x600 x 1000 little black lines that go up and down all the time. I've tried almost every possible modeline that might fit my monitor (a handarex crystal) but I can't make the black lines go away. So I thought that if I tried to run X the way XF86Setup does when it tests the server it might work. Does anyone know how XF86Setup starts the X server after the message " attempting to start server?

My solution was to copy the XF86Config.eg example file and use it (it works on most my monitors & video cards). Try this: % cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.eg /etc/XF86Config then, try running startx. This may fix the problems you've been having.

It is not part of root's path in the default system. I usually add /usr/X11R6/bin to the PATH setting in /etc/profile and then edit ~root/.profile to append to the PATH variable rather than setting it. If you use csh in stead of a bourne shell family shell like sh and bash, you will need to edit different start up files.

This may fix the problems you've been having. That's rather a hit or miss approach. There's a lot to say about how to approach this problem, more than would fit here. The simple answer from my point of view is "Get the book 'The Complete FreeBSD', it's described there". A more useful answer might be to compare the frequencies on the mode line with what your monitor and board can do, and possibly to be a little more specific in describing the problem. I don't really understand how you can get 1000 black lines on a 600 line display.

If you're in Europe, maybe BISDN will work for you, or you can wait for the isdn4bsd project to bear fruit. In the meantime, I would suggest an external TA like the Motorola BitSURFR Pro EZ. It will allow you to use both B-channels with FBSD, since it looks just like any other modem to the system.

I am using the NIS/NFS Nutshell book and for both server and client setup it mentions ypinit as the means. I have used the make file and had errors. It appears that : 1) You need the ypserv programm running before you can use the make. 2) You need either a copy or link to the master.passwd file in the /var/yp directory. I under stand the whys/whats about NIS but the setup is confusing since the guide (Managing NIS/NFS) doesn't match up with FreeBSD. Any sugestions/URL's I can use to help with setting this up ? I need to get this running ASAP. And I appreciate any and all help/sugestions that I receieve. Thanks again, in advance.

Running off the 2.2.5 x 4 cd set. My sound card is a awe32 pnp sound blaster, under win95 it used irq5. I have been compiling and recompiling the kernel trying different things but to no avail. The first problem I ran into is my lpt0 port which is using irq 7. so to fix this, I would like to use irq 5. I realize to do this I must edit the sound_config.h file also because it is "hardcoded". However with my book I recieved I still am unclear as to what exactly I need to edit, could someone show exactly what needs to be changed in the sound_config.h file. The book also says that I need to add: options "SBC_IRQ=5". Is this needed even when I edit the sound_config.h if so where does it go above or below the -- controller snd0 -- statement. Finally, since it is plug and pray, did I say pray...I mean play, is there anything else I need to go over. When I sent my first message to the mailing list someone mentioned somehting about a pnp0 device??? Here is a copy of what I currently have in the kernel.

The question of how to configure your card depends greatly on what version of FreeBSD you are running. If you could provide more details, I'm sure someone can help you get it configured...

What errors are you getting [if any] when you try to play sounds? The above configuration should work, if you have a PnP BIOS, otherwise you will need to compile PnP support into your kernel. How to do that depends on what version of FBSD you're using.

It sometimes probes as a SoundBlaster 2.1 and sometimes it probes as a SoundBlaster Pro 3.2. The response to my question was that there are quirks in the way my card probes. This may be understandable as I have an inexpensive (no, not cheap :)) SoundBlaster spinoff by Diamond. The card works as a SoundBlaster Pro 3.2 and does not work as a SoundBlaster 2.1. As I was perusing the voxware source code I learned of the different versions of SoundBlaster that are supported. It occured to me that I might be able to hack my way out of trouble. (or into trouble) For the DOS driver there is a command line option for card type. My paritcular card is a type 4 (/T 4 under dos) if this means anything to you. How might I modify this code so that the "SoundBlaster Pro 3.2" is always the card that is found by the probe? Would this be dangerous? Is there an undocumented kernel compilation option that I might use so that I need not reprogram the source. This question is pretty specific. If there is someone here is subscribed to multimedia@ who thinks I should cross post this to multimedia let me know and I will send it over there.

The example you gave me would work under /bin/sh, /usr/local/bin/zsh, or /usr/local/bin/bash. If you want a good interactive shell, I'd recommend zsh - install it from the ports.

This must be a sysinstall bug. A stale .inf file must have made it in there for the XFree86 distribution. If you move C:\FREEBSD\XF86331\X331* to C:\FREEBSD\XF8632\X32* it should work okay.

Or else sysinstall is confused about your Linux partition and is trying to mount it as a FreeBSD partition.

Otherwise FreeBSD and BSDi share the same 4.4BSD-Lite code base. There are some differences, but generally most BSDi binaries and code will compile/run on FreeBSD with minor changes.

You could > have some bad SIMMs. I use netscrape 3.04 with no problems. netscape is the program which crashes most on my FreeBSD machines (i guess because i don't run any M$ stuff...). the last 'stable' version i used was perhaps 2.XX, then both 3.XX (netscape and netscape gold) and the communicator 4.XX often crash depending on the content. For some time, i was reliably crashing netscape gold whenever i tried to open the altavista page. With the communicator 4 (which i almost immediately removed) the phenomenon is particularly annoying due to the large memory footprint... cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 8 21:54:01 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA07510 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 8 Feb 1998 21:51:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA07449 for ; Sun, 8 Feb 1998 21:51:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id VAA25026; Sun, 8 Feb 1998 21:51:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Sun, 8 Feb 1998 21:51:02 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Werner Koch cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: GRUB and rootdev In-Reply-To: <19980205103435.60098@isil.d.shuttle.de> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Thu, 5 Feb 1998, Werner Koch wrote: > > you're doing it the wrong way -- you need to hack GRUB to recognize the > > FreeBSD FS.

The installer does not build kernels; it simply writes in the device configuration set in the boot-time confiuguration utility into the kernel itself so you don't have to do it again after the install, when it doesn't come up automatically. The kernel intuits which disk it's booting from by using some special magic, somehow translating bios disk number to real-life device number. It then tries to mount partition a on the device. Partition a must be a UFS partition. To answer the question, it uses the device it was loaded from. > By the way, what is the difference between the FreeBSD filesystem, mentioned > in the GRUB dox and the one which is used by FreeBSD (GRUB complains that > it does not know this file system on partion with type a5) I don't know; I'd have to look at GRUB (which may be stuck in the dark ages thinking that FreeBSD uses the same ID as other BSDs).

If it keeps sticking up on this block then you do have a bad block. The disk is probably out of bad blocks (disks automatically map these away) so you should consider investing in a new disk.

The second one usually comes from running `tunefs -o TIME', but the tunefs(8) man page states that if the fragmentation on a filesystem gets too big that it will switch automatically. You must run /var near full all the time so the fragmentation is bad. You might consider moving high traffic directories like /var/mail over to /usr and symlinking it across.

It's for GENERIC so that we can pick up the two common configurations of ISA ed-driven cards and for PCI cards. They share the same namespace and driver and each instance has to be built in to be recognized. You can rebuild the kernel to fix that, as was described earlier.

This is normal. As long as ~/.xsession stays running, your session is active. usually you set an xterm or your window manager as a `blocking program' that doesn't allow execution to continue until it exits. To logout, you exit the blocking program, and the script completes. When the script completes, the X server is killed and you are logged out. Then xdm restarts the X server and prompts for a new login. For instance, my .xsession looks like this: xsetroot -solid "#266294" xrdb -merge .Xresources xset +dpms exec ./.startk The first three lines execute normally. The fourth, the line starting with `exec', holds there until the script ./.startk completes, which looks like this (I run KDE): #!/bin/sh kfm& kpanel& kwm # this blocks until I exit the window manager > I am not sure of the config/setup of the "Xreset" file , could you > provide some information on the setting up of this file.

Linksys usually uses cheap/easily available components, so this should show up under the de device driver. Should. I've never worked with these; they could be using PCI NE2000s or a proprietary chipset.

It requires extensive hacking or some enabling in apache to support the CERN-style /cgi-bin/program.cgi/option/option/option CGI call. Try the newer apache-stable or apache-current ports to get 1.3, which I think is setup for this type of use.

Add `-bpp ' to your X command line -- this will allow X to use higher bit depths, thus more colors. It by default uses 8 which is only 256 colors.

See crypt(3); if you preface the salt with `$1$' you will get an MD5 encrypted value back rather than DES. If the DES package isn't installed you get MD5 whether you want it or not. Don't forget to build with `-lcrypt'.

We want our users to have a limit of 2 hours per day. Therefore, we need a program that will disconnect members of a group after 2 hours and leave them off until the next day. We tried idled, but it doesn't do the job .. the refuse period only works after they have exceed their session limit .. The program we require has to remember any time they have used earlier with in that day. Therefore, if the user has been on for 30 mins in the morning, they can only have 90 mins later in that day.

Just make sure that numlock isn't on when you enter X. You can turn it on fine in other consoles since the keyboard state is maintained differently on different vty's.

How can i boot > up BSD on a floppy or just boot up, so i can use the your beastly OS. `beastly'? Do you mean `beefy'? :-) You need to install a boot manager. Get `bootinst.exe' and `boot.bin' from the tools/ directory, run `lock' on the win95 box to release the MBR, then run bootinst to install the boot selector. On next bootup you'll be able to choose between Windows and FreeBSD.

It depends on what you intend on doing. Adding disks to the system at runtime can have potentially serious side effects if the new device pushes all the disks over by virtue of SCSI addresses.

You can install booteasy; just grab bootinst.exe and boot.bin from the tools/ directory on the ftp site, boot to DOS, then run bootinst. You may need to run `lock' under WIn95 to release the MBR so you can modify it.

Sorry for this second (and last) post. Hello everybody! I installed -current (1998-01-24 SNAP) on my laptop, with XFree86 v3.3.1 The laptop has a Cirrus Logic CL-GD7548 SVGA chip with 1 MB memory and an 800x600 DSTN LCD panel. When I start the X server, the screen appears (about) 70 pixel shifted to the right, with a black border on the left side, and a lot of (waving) horizontal stripes. Luckly, if I switch the output to the external monitor connector and than back to the LCD, it becames perfectly clear and stable, without the 70 pixels offset. BTW, if I press CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch back to the console while te screen is in the "weird" state, I get a weird console :) What I mean is that I get an almost all white console, with whiter characters here and there, but repeated 3 times in 3 big horizontal stripes. Of course, if I switch the output the console goes fine... Moreover, it works perfectly after a suspend (I'm using the SaveToDisk feature of the Phoenix Bios). I'm really stymied... Well, that's not a Big Problem(tm), you know, it works, you just have to remember to switch out then in again the VGA output, but... Is there any way to avoid this? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance. I include here the relevant parts of XF86Config and the X server output: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] Section "Device" Identifier "Echos SVGA" VendorName "Olivetti" BoardName "Echos PRO 133D SVGA" # VideoRam 1024 # Option "no_bitblt" # Option "noaccel" # Option "no_mmio" Option "nolinear" # Option "med_dram" # Option "fifo_conservative" # Clockchip "cirrus" # Use Option "no_bitblt" if you have graphics problems.

The LFS is meant for recovering lost files or borrowing for static storage. You can't save anything on it or make changes. You have to create a MFS /tmp to put temporary files to, and since you can't modify fstab on a CD to do that, you're probably sunk. > My LapTop use the floppy on the parallel port, > then if the answer is yes it is also possible to start > FreeBsd without using the Floppy. Parallel floppy? Barf! Does FreeBSD find it as a standard floppy in this case? I think there may be some magic at work to have this DTRT.

You need to do this in /etc/ppp/ip-up, if you are using PAP authentication, or intend to. A perl script ip-up can take the ppp tty, look up the user who is logged in, run some other program (ac(1)??) to see if they have been on too long today, and boot them off if so. A similar perl script can be run from cron to see if any users need to be disconnected. You'll probably need to use pppd from 2.2.5 or later.

Yep, I've had both these problems as well. 4.03 had fairly consistent SIGBUS errors and was uninstalled pretty rapidly, 4.04 is better, though it still goes belly up occasionally, and has the occasional random lockup as well. It seems to happen most frequently in the page editor. Again, I'm only running with 32Mb RAM, which is probably a bit small for the damn thing. I think Doug suggested bad SIMMs as a possible cause, but I also have emacs constantly running, which is fairly memory heavy, and which has never crashed. I've also done a few `make world's on the machine (the buildworld done in multi-user mode), which should weed out any flaky SIMMs I'd guess.

Will there be a chance for a RELEASE with SMP support this year? If -CURRENT goes to release, then yes. It depends if 2.2.x is still sufficient or if we're ready for 3.0, or if 3.0 is ready for us :) Certain times of -current are actually quite stable. It's a matter of picking a good day to grab current on.

If you don't care (very very bad), set mode 1777 and ownership ftp/nogroup or whomever you want to administer the directory. You can lock out deletins/moves/etc. by setting to moe 1766 and own it yourself but no own by ftp. /incoming directories are dangerous, make sure you know what you are getting into.

Callahan I wouldn't say this is limited to the Unix port. Netscape 4 for Win95 crashes quite regularly on the 3 machines in my house that run it, and on those it locks up the whole machine. But then I've also heard of people who have absolutely no problems with Netscape 4 for Win95. I don't have any problems with Netscape 4 for FreeBSD (2.2.5, running XFree 3.3.1). --Ludwig Pummer ------------------------------------------------------------------ ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org PGP Key & Geek Code available on web page To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 9 11:42:37 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA08822 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 9 Feb 1998 11:42:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cedb.dpcsys.com (cedb.dpcsys.com [206.16.184.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA08798 for ; Mon, 9 Feb 1998 11:42:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dan@dpcsys.com) Received: from localhost (dan@localhost) by cedb.dpcsys.com (8.8.5/8.8.2) with SMTP id TAA08877; Mon, 9 Feb 1998 19:42:30 GMT Date: Mon, 9 Feb 1998 11:42:30 -0800 (PST) From: Dan Busarow To: michael dorin cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: stop and start apache?

SMTP is present as sendmail. POP and IMAP servers are available. I use the U of Wash. IMAP4 software which includes a POP server. I'm sure there is a port available in the ports collection or use the package if you are more comfortable with pre-compiled software. The DNS reference, BIND, is developed on a BSD system, not FreeBSD but the differences aren't worth mentioning. > i had very little hassle configuring email system and dns server on nt but got lost in some dimension i guess when i saw the unix CLI. maybe you can give a few simple steps in configuring the dns in comparison to unix. and if possible sendmail itself. h ow do i start configuration to have smtp, pop3 and imap4 services active. To setup sendmail just set sendmail_enable to "YES" in /etc/rc.conf The default flags and sendmail.cf are suitable for typical (not ISP) installations. If you need more than the stock setup you'll need a copy of the bat book _sendmail_ from O'Reilly, don't let the size intimidate you, it's not that bad. Really. For DNS goto /etc/namedb and run make-localhost. That will give you a working zone file for the localhost. You can use it as a template for the reverse file for address space you are authoritative for. Next you can edit named.boot to fit your situation. It has examples for primary, secondary and cache only servers. For your forward zone file you're on your own. Take the SOA stuff from localhost.rev, then delete the line that starts with "1" and add your own records, domain.com. IN A 123.123.123.123 IN MX 10 mail.domain.com. mail IN A 123.123.123.124 IN MX 10 mail.domain.com. and so on. If you are handling more than a single domain _DNS and BIND_ from O'Reilly is required reading. It's not a bad idea for a single domain either. After installing the IMAP and POP servers you need to add/uncomment the entries for them in /etc/inetd.conf and kick inetd with a kill -HUP or reboot. For the UWash server the lines pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/ipop3d ipop3d imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/imapd imapd work. Have fun!

Try this: > ifconfig vx0 inet a.b.c+1.2 netmask 0xffffffff alias > Doug White | University of Oregon That worked. (To get the "arp -s" accepted, anyway.) I know this has undoubtedly gone through in thread(s) here, but why can't I alias an interface using the netmask appropriate for that interface? My router is on the network as two different class C's. My host is on the network as a single 512-IP subnet. My notion was to define the host interface so that not only was it primarily the 512-IP interface as required, but also so that it was on the upper class C by itself. I could imagine that the routing would be a bit nonplussed with this, but I could also imagine that the routing would just say, "fine, if you want to do it that way." The reason for doing this is (1) that in order to aggregate the two class C subnets into one on the router, I have to get all my remote users to switch netmasks at once, and that's proved administratively difficult. I can tell the router its netmask is 0xfffffe00, but once I do, all dialups fail somewhere in LCP negotiations until the user(s) change their router configs as well. If I knew they were all paying attention, I could mass-mail them and say "change will occur at 0000GMT on [date]", but they aren't listening and they'll make me nuts with calls as to why isn't it working, etc. But (2), I need the extra class C's addresses to represent virtual domains (out to http/1.0 clients.), and it seems I'd tried to tell my host interface to be two class C's, a.b.c.N mask 0xffffff00 a.b.c+1.N mask 0xffffff00 but that wasn't happy either. I realize that the interface code is getting cleverer, but it didn't seem like I could stack two networks on the same interface. (I'm only using routed, if that matters.) So, when I want to declare the interface as ALSO a.b.c+1.2 with netmask 0xffffff00, that's exactly what I really mean (in the router's behalf) ... and that's illegal? Unfortunately for the router, it has only one ethernet interface. Pissers. thanks. -ecsd p.s. It might be worth mentioning that I've also seen the syndrome of not being able to "see" an aliased interface from the host it's aliased on, as others have reported: ifconfig xy0 1.2.3.4 ifconfig xy0 1.2.3.5 mask (whatever) and can't ping 1.2.3.5 from 1.2.3.4. I've just assumed it's because I'm not running 2.2.5.9999 ....

I am very new to FreeBSD and I in fact did not install the systems that we have running but this problem really is about sendmail. I am trying to set up our company e-mail using two FreeBSD systems separated by a router so as to implement a firewall for security. I (with my Internet provider) have been able to successfully receive Internet messages and transport them to the second server. Then we have been able to get the users to login over the network and remotely to collect the mail. My problem is in the reply. Obviously I want the mail to go from the second server back to the first and from there to the Internet. Instead the second server is trying to send the mail directly to the Internet. Is there a way to tell sendmail to send all the mail from the second server to the first? My Internet provider is telling me that there might be a file (client.cf) which is missing but I have been unable to get any information about this. Yours very frustratingly, Paul Molloy.

Copy it to your home directory as .fvwmrc and start experimenting. You'll also want to work with your .xinitrc file, which is (default) in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc. Again, you copy to your home as .xinitrc (note the '.'!). They both work together. Also note that fvwm2 requires some X extensions which have to be loaded first. I don't use fvwm95, so can't help you there. Don't load xdm until you understand .xinitrc and .fvwmrc, you'll regret it. fvwm has a lot of configurability. Don't be intimidated, the only part you need to tweak is the initialization sequence which is about in the middle. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo  To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 9 14:06:25 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA04072 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 9 Feb 1998 14:06:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from zed.ludd.luth.se (zed.ludd.luth.se [130.240.16.33]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA03942; Mon, 9 Feb 1998 14:06:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gozer@ludd.luth.se) Received: from sister.ludd.luth.se (gozer@sister.ludd.luth.se [130.240.16.77]) by zed.ludd.luth.se (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA07743; Mon, 9 Feb 1998 23:05:32 +0100 Date: Mon, 9 Feb 1998 23:05:31 +0100 (MET) From: Johan Larsson To: Dmitrij Tejblum cc: Trenton Schulz , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Fat32 In-Reply-To: <199802081301.QAA15324@tejblum.dnttm.rssi.ru> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG What happened to this?

Everything went great until I enabled psm0 from within the visual kernel editor (after removing all other mouse pointers). When the system rebooted, it displayed the boot screen, but only went three lines further. It did not get beyond loading the kernel -- not even to the point of displaying the FreeBSD name. Out of disgust, I removed the entire system and began the reinstallation process. This time, I enabled psm0 immediately (before the OS was installed), and the system still froze.

That's the sample file for a stupid host, and it is the one you want. Look for client.cf in the bat book (first couple of chapters) or just fix the DS entry in your sendmail.cf and restart sendmail. DSserver1 Use the FQDN of server1 :) client.cf isn't missing or required in anyway. It's just an example.

I have opted in the interim to dial in manually, so here are the facts my ppp.conf file looks like this default: set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 115200 set parity even so then I invoke the ppp command, now *term at atdt (isp #) at one point I got the login prompt for my isp, and was able to succsessfully connect (the ppp became PPP) I then typed in add 0 0 HISADDR, but what do I do at that point in order to start running programs like telnet and lynx? Well that's not the end of it, I have the past 3 or 4 times upon connecting been unable to type in the login: and password: my keyboard becomes totally impaired the point where my isp name shows up, some letters won't type in uppercase the enter key doesn't work, so I'm left wondering what it was that I did wrong. Mabey i should edit out the last line in the ppp.conf. Well the important thing is how do I start those programs once I am connected and also how do I test to see if I am really transmitting and recieving bits to/from my isp? thankyou in advance gibson@midmaine.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Feb 9 15:10:46 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA18624 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 9 Feb 1998 15:10:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from magneto.cybersmith.com ([208.226.110.135]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA18514 for ; Mon, 9 Feb 1998 15:10:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Shepard@cris.com) From: Shepard@cris.com Received: from 153.18.232.44 ([153.18.232.44]) by magneto.cybersmith.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id SAA18467 for ; Mon, 9 Feb 1998 18:07:32 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <34DF1DAF.42E3@cris.com> Date: Mon, 09 Feb 1998 15:16:16 +0000 X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (Macintosh; I; PPC) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: ALPHA?

If I remember your original post correctly the first ifconfig of the interface was for the 0xfffffe00 subnet (2 C's). Is that right? That already includes the aliased ifconfig z.b.c+1.2, so you need to use a host route for the alias. > My router is on the network as two different class C's. > My host is on the network as a single 512-IP subnet. > > My notion was to define the host interface so that not only was it > primarily the 512-IP interface as required, but also so that it > was on the upper class C by itself.

I can tell the router its netmask is 0xfffffe00, but once Much easier is to have the router's ethernet port use an address out of the first C (by convention, nothing more) and a netmask of 255.255.255.0, just like you only had the one C. Then add a route telling it what machine(s) to route the other C to, or 1/2 C or whatever. Let's say you have two machines on your LAN handling the second C, 126 addresses each. one is a.b.c.3, the other is a.b.c.4 On the router route add a.b.c+1.0/25 a.b.c.3 1 route add a.b.c+1.128/25 a.b.c.4 1 On the machines ifconfig inet vx0 a.b.c.3 netmask 0xffffff00 ifconfig inet vx0 a.b.c+1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 alias ifconfig inet vx0 a.b.c+1.2 netmask 0xffffffff alias ifconfig inet vx0 a.b.c+1.3 netmask 0xffffffff alias If you had a few hundred stupid (ie MS) boxes on your LAN supernetting might make sense, but when you have a few smart boxes let them deal with it. This way your users won't need to change their netmasks every time you get new address space. Turn off routed too.

Since the card says absolute nothing about it's contents (and HP just says "It works with NiceTry, so what?"), I'm happy the GENERIC-Kernel identifies it as Lance-based NE2100. However, I suspect a IRQ problem, too. Unfortunately, I can't find out what IRQ is used by the network part of the card... the SCSI-controller is PCI and gets assigned automagically, but the ethernet part? I don't understand the line in the kernel config-file completely, but it seems to me, that there is a fixed IRQ for the card. If this IRQ is different from the (automagically assigned?) IRQ for the hardware, this problems could result.

Aside from trimming your debug logging to something less chattier, you can also check out newsyslog(8), and its config file /etc/newsyslog.conf.

I have some slight experience of an old XENIX box, although more in terms of use rather than setup/administration. What I would ideally like to do is install freebsd onto a new partition on an existing MSDOS/Win95/FAT16 disk, and would appreciate any tips/annecdotes/important considerations before beginning. I've read a lot of docs and readme-type stuff at www.freebsd.org, and what I've seen so far looks encouraging. What I would really like to know is: - what would you consider a reasonable partition size for a mid-range freebsd installation ? (I have a 1.2GB IDE drive that is already pretty full but am considering purchasing a second unit that I would probably run exclusively as a single DOS partition, with the boot portions of DOS and freebsd in its entirity remaining on the existing disk). The machine is an AST P133 (Intel) with 24mb RAM, ATAPI CDROM, SiS video and ESS1788 soundblaster-compatible soundcard. - is the FIPS utility available on the ftp sites really any good at shrinking an active, primary DOS partition without reformatting or reinstalling ? Does Win95 cope with it and if so how well ? (I've heard it can screw entire filesystems at boot on a bad day). What are the chances of screwing the drive completely ? Is there a boot manager set up/provided by either fips or the freebsd install ? - is installing via ftp a practical possibility over a 28.8 analogue modem line, or am I going to be paying the phone bill off for the next 20 years ? - any good books or online resources you would recommend for someone in my position :-) Thanks for any help/advice you can give.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 09 Feb 1998 16:19:20 -0800 From: Rainer Enders Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have problems to get my servers working in 100TX mode. The DEC DE500-BA behaves different with different switching hubs. On the Cabletron SmartSwitch 6000 I can get it working with some funny procedure: - Boot it up with the port configured to 10 MBps fixed. So the network interface will come up. - Then switch the port to 100TX (force it). And then pull the cable off the port and put it back (1-2 times). - Then switch the port to autonegotiation or to 100TX (either will work from time to time and bring up the 100TX mode). - If this fails repeat the whole process until it works. With the BayStack 350 I don't have any luck with this procedure. I can't get it to work in 100TX mode neither forced nor autonegotiated. Now under Linux I can put options tulip options=3 in the conf.modules file which solves the problem. Is there anything similar I can do for FreeBSD? I'm running 2.2.5 now. Who is maintaining the drivers for FreeBSD for this NIC card? Thanks, Rainer.

For those who don't know, JNOS and TNOS are derivatives of the original KA9Q NET and NOS code which implemented its own IP world in a single DOS executable. While used for many other things, it became the basis for experimenting with IP over amateur radio. TNOS 2.22 (or was it 2.23?) (http://www.lantz.com) was the last version I submitted FreeBSD patches direct to the author. Mostly they were retained in TNOS 2.30 but its a couple of unresolved references away from a clean FreeBSD compile. I started back on TNOS 2.30 this weekend and got distracted discovering the inner workings of the FreeBSD ports system. Maybe we'll have a FreeBSD port of TNOS soon. Also got distracted working on the One Biggest Problem of connecting the TNOS IP world to the FreeBSD kernel's IP world. Linux systems use SL/IP thru a pty pair, slattach from the kernel side, and let TNOS attach to one (which one? slave or master? I forget) of the pty's. FreeBSD's pty's don't support all the ioctl's FreeBSD's slattach issues. So that doesn't work. Was playing with /dev/tun0. "hd /dev/tun0" and then using ifconfig on tun0, and pinging thru the interface was a kick. It worked! But there are 2 problems, TNOS knows SL/IP not tun, but worst of all FreeBSD refuses to allow any but root to read/write /dev/tun0. Permissions on the device don't matter, the kernel double checks and refuses to operate if the process connected to /dev/tun0 is not root. IMHO a program such as TNOS has no business running as root so a minimal setuid-root buffer process is needed. Maybe same process should fake SL/IP? But then how to connect it to TNOS? Thru pty's! And we're back to the original SL/IP problem. Probably would be best/easiest to write a new slattach. /dev/tun0 offers some real attractive prospects for IP over amateur radio. Simply reframe the output of /dev/tun0 into KISS format and dump it on the TNC. Same for TNC output, strip the KISS framing and dump it on /dev/tun0. Then start wondering how to adjust the IP timers thru the /dev/tun interface... more time spend reading ppp code. And not writting code. And that's what I did this weekend. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Only after it has discovered its IP address. See the man page for rarpd(8). Basically you associate the raw ethernet address with a hostname in /etc/ethers (see ethers(5)), and the hostname with an IP address in /etc/hosts. Was thinking on SGI Irix systems rarpd is started by inetd. But then again, I enable it with the chkconfig utility so rarpd is probably not in inetd. Must be a good reason for it not to be started by inetd. Its not in FreeBSD's /etc/inetd.conf. The man page doesn't say anything about putting it in inetd.conf either. Come to think of it, I can'd find an arp port, or rarp port. Maybe that's why inetd can't start rarpd? You may wish to only start rarpd once, long enough for the JetDirect to discover its IP address. Then telnet in to it and touch up the netmask and save the IP address in NVRAM (I forget how to do this, it might save automatically) so rarpd is no longer needed. If the IP address is saved automatically in NVRAM then you need to clear the NVRAM if you need to clear the old IP address. Think you hold the JetDirect button down while applying power. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

From time to time, -current is pretty "stable," although not -stable. So much has been added to -current and not back ported to -stable that by now, -stable seems more like -stale. I FTP with Midnight Commander and go to releng22.FreeBSD.org to pick up the latest SNAP of -current. Midnight Commander makes copying the whole directory tree a breeze. With a 128k ISDN line it only takes about 2 hours to download. Put the SNAP directory on a local FTP or NFS server, make the boot floppy, and you will be -current in a jiffy. If you get a SNAP of -current which happens to be especially "stable" for you, you can always use the "date" tag with CVSup to reproduce the same tree at a later time for installation of other machines. -- The day of the proprietary OS is over.

For some reason, my console mouse has stopped "pasting". It seems to be able to "copy" just fine; I can move and select text using the same arrow cursor I have always had. I am just not able to paste any text that I select. XFree86's "copy and paste" functionality has not changed. I have not changed either my hardware or my configuration settings. I suspect this problem started about 2 builds back. I would estimate about 3-4 weeks. That's a rough guess, however. I am currently running: FreeBSD FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE #0: Sun Feb 1 13:48:23 EST 1998 I invoke moused at boot with the following arguments /usr/sbin/moused -t microsoft -p /dev/mouse I then invoke vidcontrol with these arguments in a shell .rc /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -m on Though, this seems rather academic, as the mouse cursor actually "appears" and is able to select text, it just doesn't echo anything back when I click the second button. *shrug* -d To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 10 01:48:27 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA21092 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 01:48:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mbc.infosphere.or.jp (mbc.infosphere.or.jp [203.138.71.83]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA21086 for ; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 01:48:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from fbjr4@mbc.infosphere.or.jp) Received: from -c-----s (pl-osaka196.infosphere.or.jp [203.138.34.117]) by mbc.infosphere.or.jp (8.8.7/3.6Wbeta7) with SMTP id SAA02326 for ; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 18:48:19 +0900 (JST) Message-ID: <001401bd3609$3d053940$75228acb@-c-----s> From: "Yoshi3" To: Subject: =?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCJSQlcyU5JUghPCVrJEckLSRKJC8kRj8/N3UkSzokJEMkRiReGyhC?= =?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCJDkbKEI=?= Date: Tue, 10 Feb 1998 18:49:50 +0900 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0010_01BD3654.AB526B20" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.2106.4 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2106.4 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0010_01BD3654.AB526B20 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit $B!!D9!<$$J8>O$G$9$,!"0l$D5$D9$KFI$s$G$d$C$F$/$@$5$$!#(B $B)%Q%?!<%s$HF1$8!J4pK\!!#b#i#n(B,compat1 $B#x(B,compat20 ,compat21,dict,doc,man $B%=!<%9(B sys XFree86$B4pK\(B bin,cfg,lib,man,prog,set$B!!(B XFree86 $B%5!<%P(B VGA16,SVGA XFree86$B%U%)%s%H(B fnts,non$B!K$rA*$S$^$7$?!#$?$@$7%3%T!<$N(B $B:]!"(B compat1x,20,21$B$O%^%K%e%"%k$K$"$k$h$&$K%3%T!<$5$l$J$+$C$?$N$G!"(BDOS$B%W%m%s%W%H(B $B$r;H$C(B $B$F(BCD-ROM$B$HF1$8%G%#%l%/%H%j9=@.$K$7$F%3%T!<$7$^$7$?!#%$%s%9%H!<%k3+;O8e!"%^(B $B%K%e%"%k(B $B$K=>$$(B $B!!!!(Bskip kernel configuration... $B$rA*$S!";HMQ8@8l$NA*Br!"#P#C%+!<%I$N@_Dj$r7P$F!"=i?4>FreeBSD BOOT @0$B!_(B10000$B!((B639/39936 k of memory Usage$B!'(B[[[0:][wd](0,a)]/kernel][-abc$B#C(Bdghrsv$B!O(B Use 1$B!'(Bsd(0,a$B!K(Bkernel to boot sd0 if it is BIOS drive$B#1(B Use ?$B!'(Bfor file list or press Enter for defaults $B0J>e$N%a%C%;!<%8$,=P$F!"8e$O$3$l$N7+$jJV$7$GA4$/%m%0%$%s$G$-$^$;$s!#(B $B!!(B $B%a%C%;!<%8$r8+$k8B$j$G$O!"$I$&$b%+!<%M%k$rFI$_9~$s$G$J$$$h$&$J$N$G(B $B%$%s%9(B $B%H!<%k$K(B $B<:GT$7$?$h$&$J$N$G$9$,!J

I don't have any problems with Netscape 4 for FreeBSD > (2.2.5, running XFree 3.3.1). > --Ludwig Pummer I think that most Netscape 4.04 problems are related to the mail/news reader. Web browsing is fairly stable, but the mail reader has some flaws. I have not tested NS4 for W95, but I also use regularly NS4 for Macintosh and it runs pretty well; crashes and locks are rare. I must say that I use NS4 as mail reader because of its IMAP capabilities, mailbox management and filters, but I have to kill-9 the NS process almost every day on both FreeBSD and SPARC/Solaris boxes. In summary, the problems with Netscape 4.04 that I have seen running it on FreeBSD 2.2.5 also happen when running NS4 on Solaris/SPARC, with ONE exception: on FreeBSD 2.2.5/XFree86 3.3.1, and when I open a mailbox or a newsgroup, NS4 locks itself for several seconds after reading the message headers; then it awake and after that it behaves normally. This problem does not manifest itself on SPARC/Solaris. -- JM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose M.

I received 3 good suggestions: [] Karl Pielorz suggested that I use "chat" instead of "echo" to communicate with the modem. Since this will send commands to the modem only as the modem indicates readiness for them, I think I see in this suggestion why I had the trouble with "echo". [] Lists suggested using scripts to change the modem line's entry in /etc/ttys from "on" to "off", then force getty to restart with these values from the new file. This is an effective technique that has other applications, too. [] efinley@castlenet.com (Elliot Finley) suggested that I use mgetty. Wondering why, I followed up by reading the info files that accompany mgetty 1.0.0 and found that mgetty will refuse to answer the incoming call if a certain file name exists in a certain directory. It appears (to me) that mgetty never places the modem into auto answer mode, prefering to watch for ring signals directly I suppose, so refusing to answer is adequate. In this method I have only to create and destroy a dummy file to disable and enable dial-in service under mgetty. Very clean. My thanks to all three of you!

If I run netscape as a "typical" user, netscape complains that it's out of memory after I open about 10-15 windows and crashes hard (everything I've opened is gone). I assume this relates to the different resources specified for the root user (typically "unlimited") and other (is it "default" or "standard"???) users. What's the right way to proceed? To give my user a "class" of root in the chpass command? Or to alter the "default" or "standard" in login.conf? Or to set up a new class? Also, is login.conf re-read each time an xterm is opened? Is there any particular class that an xterm reads? Best regards -- Larry S.

Take alook at /etc/syslog.conf. This file tells the system what to do with various messages. In the case of important ones, they are not only logged but written to the console.

I would also like to see some sort of threading feature to make reading the mail archives easier. One thing you can do for now is read the mailing lists via www.dejanews.com. (Yes, some(?) of the mailing lists are dumped to the Usenet.) Just create a search filter with groups set to *freebsd*. There is a view thread option at the top of every article returned. If you haven't used Dejanews yet, I promise you will like it. Or if ya really want to, you can ftp the archives off of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/mailing-lists/archive/. But that would be kinda verbose. You'd get all sorts of crazy messages like this one.

The box exports a few filesystems to our local network, using NFSv3 (some of the machines on this net don't seem to make NFSv2 mounts). Here's a rough run-down of the problems I've had: - A remote client will hang sometimes. This is seem most often on Sparc/Solaris boxes. I assumed it was the problem mentioned in the section on NFS in the Handbook, and duly bought a faster ethernet card (a PCI NE2000 card), but the problem still persists. - remote Alpha/OSF3 machines have trouble communicating NFSv3 (only) with a FreeBSD server, resulting in missing directory entries. I submitted a PR for this one, since it's repeatable, but no-one seems to have taken it up. - I've seen problems with a FreeBSD client talking to a Solaris server (either NFSv3 or NFSv2). If I do a large lndir of a remote tree from the FreeBSD box, some of the symbolic links will be messed up. This is fairly repeatable. These are really starting to kill me.

Yes, all of 1725 + xxxviii pages of it :-) Picked up my copy at the Walnut Creek CDROM office. The good folks there patiently dug through the 2000+ back-orders to find my copy. So depending on when they were able to mail it, "your book may be in the mail!" (assuming you back-ordered it) Just a comment about the sheer physical size of the book. Is there a plan to split it into two? Will it cost more to produce? My personal preference is that each volume should be less than 1000 pages (makes them easier to handle when reading). das To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 10 09:36:46 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA07103 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 09:36:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ns1.osicom.net (osicom.net [207.236.103.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA07073 for ; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 09:36:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ken@osicom.net) Received: from webcity.osicom.net (webcity.osicom.net [207.236.103.6]) by ns1.osicom.net (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA10723 for ; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 12:38:51 -0500 (EST) From: "Ken Blundell" To: Subject: Virtuals Date: Tue, 10 Feb 1998 12:36:16 -0500 Message-ID: <01bd364a$637da3a0$0667eccf@webcity.osicom.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2 as our main internet server and would like to setup some virtual hosts.

I have the Internic registration completed and have added this to the /etc/rc.local file: ifconfig_ed2_alias0="inet 207.236.103.161 netmask 255.255.255.255" and I also added it to the /etc/hosts file: 207.236.103.161 tipoftheweb.com tipoftheweb I've also created a /etc/namedb/db.tipoftheweb file and changed the httpd.conf file ro reflect the Virtual directive. If I type in http://www.tipoftheweb.com (the virtual i'm trying to add) it resolves to http://www.osicom.net : thats our primary! ANY help would be appreciated, if you could point me to some sort of documentation or web page that outline the steps involved, I would be forever in your debt! :-) Sorry for being so forward but, the powers that be are breathing down my neck!

We have a fairly simple Java applet that works ok on other OS's and on FreeBSD Netscape *except* it crashes Netscape (both Navigator and Communicator) 100% of the time on FreeBSD if we run with Depth 24 in /etc/XF86Config. The coredump happens with the Linux binary as well. It is the only X11 app we know of that does this.

I don't judge a books value by it's cover. I look at the price per kilogram as well as its total mass. If the content is lacking you at least have the pleasure of a resounding thud or even a scream from a hapless user when the tome comes back to earth after you launch it. Getting to the point, I vote that it be maintained as one volume.

Greg Lehey's Running FreeBSD 2.1 says to use /cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp to create the boot disk. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find that file on the cdrom. We used dos fdisk (from a dos 7 boot floppy to create a dos partition on the 2.1G hardrive and then copy files into the dos partition. We then attempted to install from the dos partition. The install program installed ok but during the boot from the hard disk it stopped complaining about not being able to mount root system or something. We are lost at this point, not being unix experts. If the answer to the ATAPI IDE CDROM problem is the atapi.flp file, where do I get it? Can I download it from the internet somewhere? What about the mount problem?

The most likely one is the large number of SCSI data structures that are allocated on the kernel stack but may actually be transfered at interrupt time. The SCSI system has a hack in it to attempt to notice and bounce these data structures, but the test is no longer adequate now that the possition of the kernel stack has moved. The CAM SCSI layer does not have this problem, but I have yet to find the time to convert the 1542 driver to the new framework. -- Justin > On Sun, 8 Feb 1998, Doug White wrote: > >> On Fri, 6 Feb 1998, Jeff Wheat wrote: >> >> > Looks like once again NetBSD/OpenBSD have functional drivers: >> > >> > Feb 6 10:23:26 johnnybravo /kernel: aha0: DMA beyond end Of ISA: 0x262bd24 >> > Feb 6 10:23:26 johnnybravo /kernel: ch0: could not sense element address page To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 10 15:16:10 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA08572 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 15:16:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from lites.lvdi.net (lites.lvdi.net [208.129.21.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA08480 for ; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 15:15:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from shanmin@lvdi.net) Received: from johnny.lvdi.net (johnny.lvdi.net [208.129.21.14]) by lites.lvdi.net (8.8.7/8.7.3) with ESMTP id PAA24896 for ; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 15:06:09 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199802102306.PAA24896@lites.lvdi.net> From: "Shan-Min Chao" To: Subject: Setting up ethernet card Date: Tue, 10 Feb 1998 15:11:24 -0800 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1161 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello! I am an amateur at FreeBSD UNIX, and I need to know how to setup my 3COM Etherlink III Bus-Master PCI Ethernet Adapter. According to Win95, the IRQ for it is 11, and the I/O Range is: FF40-FF5F. When I type -c at the boot prompt, and go to the visual kernel configuration, it asks me for the memory addresses and port addresses of the devices I wish to configure. What do I put in there? How would I go about setting up ethernet card. Please be specific and tell me what to do from beginning to end. Thank you very much for your time - I appreciate it.

What can I do?. I had the same problem last month. My last resort was to remove the HP-NETRaid adapter from my NetServer LXe Pro, and connect the hot-swap cage to one of the ordinary (but supported) on-board Adaptec SCSI controllers, sacrifying RAID capability. The disks work fine as individual units. I am using FreeBSD 3.0 971006-SNAP.

Do you have a copy yet? I find it's rather floppy. On the one hand, it means it stays open when you put it on a desk. On the other hand, it means you have to find a bit of desk to put it on, which isn't easy round here :-) Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 10 16:15:59 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA16145 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 16:15:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from oncomdis.on.ca (pstewart@oncomdis.on.ca [204.101.15.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id QAA16130 for ; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 16:15:53 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from pstewart@oncomdis.on.ca) Received: from localhost (pstewart@localhost) by oncomdis.on.ca (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id TAA04403; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 19:07:24 -0500 Date: Tue, 10 Feb 1998 19:07:24 -0500 (EST) From: pstewart To: Greg Lehey cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Mixed Case Passwords In-Reply-To: <19980211084604.30033@freebie.lemis.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hmmmm...

I was able to get my SCSI-SCSI RAID system going by adding the proper multi LUN support to my kernel. Well, unknown to me until I got to work today, The RAID 5 partion using LUN2 is having major troubles as shown below. ( I was telneted in and failed to look at /var/log/messages) I am using an adaptec 2940UW card and I have tried every setting I though could be relevant. I called the manufacturer of the RAID controler, CMD, and they grumbled a bit about FreeBSD/UNIX and has yet to be able to offer any good suggestions. Could there be further settings needed for the Lun1 support? the LUN0 mirror segment works great. Anyone have any idea's where I could start ? Thanks Nicole trying not to break out the hammer....

I've been pained by limits ever since I started using freebsd. This has been my only consistent problem, but I'm a little bit embarassed by it b/c it is only a configuration issue, so I don't complain or ask too many questions about it, I just try to fix things and slowly I do. Recently I've gotten things to a state I've found acceptable. I have mostly a single user box and *really* don't need the damn thing telling me I can't use its plently of available resources. I 1. grabbed the latest login.conf from /usr/src/etc/login.conf (I keep my src tree cvsuped) 2. added myself to root 3. tweaked the settings for root a bit so that the "-cur" were high enough not to cause me pain. (1. was the brightest thing I"ve ever done... I guess my login.conf was out of sync b/c I was gettng really annoying behavior, like I could telnet in fine, but if I ssh in, or my cronjobs, would die w/cannot fork b/c they were not getting into my login class... so all my cronjobs I'd run as root =). Besides the fact that it told me the other day that the hard limit for coredumps was zero (??? where it got this from I'll never know... not login.conf, that's for sure), I've been happy ever since. You might also want to add some more pty's so you can have a gazillion xterms. IIRC, you add them to /etc/ttys and run MAKEDEV as appropriate. Please shoot me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any of this is covered adequately in any FAQ or documentation. Really, there should be an install option for login.conf that allows you to set up a machine without limits for when you're a single-user (mostly) box and would rather have the risk of going down on an out of control process (which never happened to me for several years and about 5 different flavors of unix) then daily frustration with these limits. I'm sure they're a lifesaver when they are appropriate, but they are not always appropriate. -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Feb 10 17:02:54 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA21986 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 17:02:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from frodo.epigram.com (gated.epigram.com [209.0.75.3] (may be forged)) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA21969 for ; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 17:02:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from brandon@epigram.com) Received: from glinka (GLINKA.epigram.com [10.100.100.218]) by frodo.epigram.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id RAA23695 for ; Tue, 10 Feb 1998 17:02:30 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199802110102.RAA23695@frodo.epigram.com> X-Sender: brandon@mail.epigram.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0 Demo Date: Tue, 10 Feb 1998 17:01:42 -0800 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: Brandon Huey Subject: DTP & Compaq RAID support?

We both have 16-bit, full-duplex sound cards that are properly configured.

I don't think you want those underscores if that is in rc.local 3. did you run that command (ifconfig ed2 ...) as well as put it in rc.local (or rebeoot?) 4. does it really say to netmask 255.255.255.255? (i'd guess 255.255.255.0, but maybe I don't know ?) 5. are you aware that you can do virtual hosting just with your apache config file with the VirtualHost directive? It works for modern browsers that support it, but not with some older browsers. 6. most importantly... what does host www.tipoftheweb.com tell you?

I tried everything, including the testing of all possible dma values for the sound card (every one of them gave the same error), and running the sound programs as the first thing upon logging on. The only other dma in use is the floppy (2). Frustrated, and brave, I found that the situation could be rectified if the code pertaining to the variable dma_inuse was axed out of isa.c.

I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE on a P6 but am having problems fully booting the machine. I checked the FAQ and handbook and couldn't find anything relevant and I'd appreciate any help on this. This machine has an IDE drive and a SCSI drive. I used a boot disk and a CDROM to put FreeBSD on the SCSI drive. I put a boot manager on both drives. When I boot the machine, I tell the boot manager to go to the SCSI drive. Then another boot manager pops up and I tell it to boot FreeBSD. (As an aside, is there a way to have only one boot manager?) Now I hit enter at the boot prompt, causing the system to load the kernel from 1:sd(1,a). The kernel starts running, probing devices, etc. Everything looks good until it tries to change the root device. The system then panics with "Can't change root device to sd1a" (or something of that nature). A readme file suggested turning off probes for devices at address 0x300. I tried that, and also tried disabling all probes for hardware I don't have. This didn't work. A friend suggested entering 0:sd(1,a) at the boot prompt which apparently did the trick when he had similar symptoms under a buggy BIOS. This didn't work either. At this point I figured that perhaps something went wrong during the installation. I put the boot disk back in took a look around in the emergency holographic shell. However, all the filesystems were mounted just fine and everything looked good. Any ideas? Is there more information I should provide?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi Sirs or Madams: I have recently ordered 4 CD's FreeBSD2 and installed FBSD2.2.5 on my machine. Everything seems O.K. I am a novice on Unix, so I haven't done much on FreeBSD yet. I can set up my own account so that I don't have to risk the new system by loging as root. I can play around with fvwm95 and a lot more. However I have a few questions: 1. I am interested in programming. So I tried C and Modula-3. * For C, I tried a simple program hello.c an compiled it by: cc -a hello.c I got a.out. However when I ran a.out, I got a.out : not found * The same thing with Modula-3. After using the command m3build ( on the simple hello.m3 program) The compilation had no problem and FreeBSD2 directory was built. When I got into FreeBSD2 directory, "hello" was there. However, when I ran hello I got the same message " hello : not found " I also have Linux Slackware 3.2 on another machine. I have no problems on running C and Modula-3 on Linux. Therefore, I don't know what is wrong on my new FreeBSD2 system, or there might be further steps I need to do to run C and Modula-3 programs. 2. I can run fvwm95, however there are many thing I cannot use yet: * xcdplayer: I get "device not configured" message * workman: cannot recognize the music disk even I put the cd into the drive before start up the machine (Linux has no such problem and it can even play the music cd after the system is up) * "find" does not work at all ( when I hightlight it with the mouse, nothing pops up at the arrow) * for some games "xlander", "xtetris", "xhextrix" I get the message :" not found " Those are problems I am having now. Would you please tell me how to fix them! I am looking forward to your response. Thank you. Chau.

I have tryed everything, I also installed the boot manager with bootinst on the IDE drive but it always gives me those ?? question marks and does not seem to read the BSD on the SCSI drive. I have also tried installing a 50M dos partition on the SCSI before thr BSD but I get the same problem. I have tried to install the MBS on the SCSI, I have tried with the booteasy on the scsi, I have tried no mbs on the scsi, still cannot get the boot manager to boot from that scsi drive.

Yes, autonegotiation is flakey as all hell, and bad cabling will just make it worse. I suggest: 1. Forcing the speed on *both*sides*. Use the card configuration utility to fix it in the NIC. 2. Use really good quality CAT 5 cabling and try to keep it away from big motors and such. > Who is maintaining the drivers for FreeBSD for this NIC card? It's maintained by a third party, the name escapes me. It's the same driver as is in NetBSD.

Can you get more details from the provider? What type of device is it? An internal card or standalone box?

PCI is self-configuring; you don't need to specify anything, the system will find it and attach it to the vx driver automatically.

There are no *exact* dates until the final -RELEASE is cut. Watching -hackers will give you ideas of when stuff is coming up because they'll announce the official -BETA cutoff date, etc. I saw the 2.2.6-BETA warning a while ago, which is why I'm mentioning 2.2.6. Of course, they could find stuff horribly broken and throw 2.2.6 back for more work..

More disks and controllers and move frequently-used FSs to different disks on different controllers. 3. Faster processor (to a point) or faster bus speed. This `big maildrop' had better not be nastygrams.

I'll have to try it again..:) Yes, I've just checked. FreeBSD has no problems with all-lower-case passwords, but the passwd program won't let you do it. If you *really* want to do it this way, you'll have to hack /usr/src/usr.bin/passwd/local_passwd.c. It's pretty trivial.

I am using a FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE #0 box as a router and server for my local network, and have been assigned a /26 subnet (210.8.131.128/26) by my employer. I have assigned a few numbers to various hosts on the network and everything seems to be routing fine. However I need to bind a few more addresses to the FreeBSD box (for virtual web servers) and dont seem to be able to get them to work. eg :- bash# ifconfig ed1 ed1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 210.8.131.129 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 210.8.131.191 ether 00:00:01:30:53:91 bash# ..ok 210.8.131.129 is the primary address of the router/server and works fine. So now I try to add another address to the ethernet card :- bash# ifconfig ed1 inet 210.8.131.132 netmask 0xffffffc0 alias ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists bash# ifconfig ed1 ed1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 210.8.131.129 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 210.8.131.191 inet 210.8.131.132 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 210.8.131.191 ether 00:00:01:30:53:91 bash# ..so aside from the "ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists" message (anyone know what it means?), that seemed to work fine. However, I cant ping the new address. :- bash# ping 210.8.131.132 PING 210.8.131.132 (210.8.131.132): 56 data bytes ^C --- 210.8.131.132 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss bash# Now when working with full class C's, this is all I've had to do, so now I'm on unfamilar ground, but think maybe its a problem with routed ? route shows this :- bash# route get 210.8.131.132 route to: 210.8.131.132 destination: 210.8.131.132 interface: ed1 flags: recvpipe sendpipe ssthresh rtt,msec rttvar hopcount mtu expire 16384 16384 0 0 0 0 1500 -116 bash# ..and netstat shows :- bash# netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 203.63.80.135 UGSc 37 28832 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 125 lo0 202.21.8.125 127.0.0.1 UH 0 25134 lo0 203.63.80.135 202.21.8.125 UH 35 0 tun0 210.8.131.128/26 link#1 UCc 4 0 210.8.131.129 0:0:1:30:53:91 UHLW 2 70034 lo0 You have mail in /var/mail/ahill bash# ..so can someone please tell me what I am missing ?

I did upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.2.5 somewhere in the process--but I thougth I had used my scripted dialin rules after that point. Regardless, if I try to use my automatically scripted rules it does not work--but if I manually do what the scripting is doing, it does. This is quite a frustration. When I dial with the rules it does: ppp on pinky> dial sun Dial attempt 1 of 1 Phone: ...... dial OK! login OK! ppp on pinky> Packet mode. ppp on pinky> And that is it. The modem stays connected, but it never finishes the linkup to capitalize the 'PPP' and have everything working. If I manually do it, after it prints 'Packet mode' it sits there for a second and then comes back with the ppp capitalized (as it does when everything is linked up). My configuration is quite simple: ----- ppp.conf default: set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 115200 set log Phase Chat Connect Carrier hdlc LCP IPCP CCP tun deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" sun: set phone xxxxxxx set timeout 900 set login "TIMEOUT 10 gin:-BREAK-gin: xxxx word: xxxx INIT ppp_crypt" set ifaddr xxx.xx.xxx.60 xxx.xx.xxx.2 255.255.255.0 ----- ppp.linkup: xxx.xx.xxx.60: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR MYADDR: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR ----- Now, I have a dedicated IP address (that being .60), and .2 is the box which is the dialin server. *THIS USED TO WORK* For nigh a year I've been using this setup without problem. Only recently I upgraded and was diddling around trying to get the masquerading working for the local network and now it does not work anymore. And remember--it does work if I do it by hand.

I believe it is trying to add another static route for your /26 network, but sees that an entry already exists. Changing the netmask on the alias should get rid of the warning message. Aaron out.

PLEASE HELP! Looks like a bad case of missing indentation... do you mean MYADDR: delete all add default hisaddr Ppp considers a section as terminated when it finds a non-comment line that begins in column 0 (or EOF).

Have you got a `add myaddr 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1' in your ppp.linkup by any chance ? `delete all' only deletes routes for the interface that ppp owns - tun0 in this case. If you add routes manually to another interface, you've gotta delete them manually :-) The latest versions of ppp can handle your scenario a bit better. If you just leave out the static routes altogether, ppp will detect packets targeted for the interface address and just turn them around. Check out the `set loopback' command in the man page.

'.bashrc' won't be read for a login shell. BUT... You said you named it '.profile'?? '.profile' should be read by bash. Curious. >From the man When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/pro- file, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior. And also When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc. So .bashrc works great in an xterm but not in a login shell. I hope this helps.

The SCSI part is certainly PCI... it gets configured automagically and works fine with the ncr0 driver. The problem is the ethernet part: there is no configuration utility, and the kernel config seems to assume, that a lnc0-card is ISA...

The thing that I found with FreeBSD is that the install process is not always that logical, and sometimes it might seem that you will never get something to work properly. I have had such problems, and there has ALWAYS been a way to get everything to work. A simple email to this list and you usually get a flood of very helpful responses. It's much much better than any support that you might pay for with commercial software. Here are some points to consider 1) FIPS has always worked fine for me, except that I could only get it to shrink a partition, and not grow it again. 2) The BOOTEASY bootloader works great. It will not correctly identify Win95 FAT32 partitions correctly, but will boot them nevertheless. (It justs displays ?? instead of the partition type). 3) If you want to mount a Win95 partition under FreeBSD, make sure it's a primary dos partition with a FAT16 filesystem. FAT32 or extended DOS partitions won't work (at least for me). 4) FreeBSD's way of partitioning is weird (or maybe just different). i.e. You only need ONE partition set aside for the whole of FreeBSD. FreeBSD then 'labels' this single partition and internally splits it into a swap partition, root partition, /usr partition, and whatever else you want. This is totally different from Linux, which just uses regular partitions. 5) Try and install the FreeBSD partition on the first hard disk you have, i. e. the primary master device. It'll make booting simpler. I had trouble when I installed FreeBSD on my secondary master with win95 on the primary master. Because the primary slave was not present, FreeBSD got confused about the drive numbers, and a kernel hack was necessary to fix it. (At least there was a fix). 6) Definately buy the CDROM from Walnut Creek, it only costs 30 quid. I looked everywhere for a UK supplier but there isn't one. I ordered via their secure web site, and it arrived on my doormat within two weeks. I'm sure you'll get a flood of responses from other list members telling you different things, which are going to be just as valid. The points I've mentioned just come from my personal experience.

The problem is because BIOS cannot access the SCSI disk. With your exisiting hardware you have two choices. The first is to simply use the BIOS setup to disable the IDE drive before you attempt to boot FBSD. The second is to create a small partition on the IDE drive and install '/' as the mountpoint. It may be possible to also do something with a floppy disk, but I have never tried this. My final solution was to totally dedicate the machine to FBSD and put Microsoft on a separate machine.

We need it to go as smoothly as possible, so I'd like to tap the wisdom of those who may have done this before. - I think we have to change the default gateway of all our systems to the firewall box, is that correct? Currently, they use the router. - We have 4 class C networks in our internal systems. Let's assume we assign 100.100.100.100 to the "inside" nic on the firewall box and 100.100.100.101 to the "outside" nic, while the router's ip is 100.100.100.1. Does this routing on the firewall box look right? - set static network routes to the internal class C networks route add -net 100.100.100.0 -interface 100.100.100.100 route add -net 100.100.101.0 -interface 100.100.100.100 route add -net 100.100.102.0 -interface 100.100.100.100 route add -net 100.100.103.0 -interface 100.100.100.100 - set a static route to the router's ip address route add 100.100.100.1 100.100.100.101 or does this need to be route add 100.100.100.1 -interface 100.100.100.101 - set the default gateway to the router's ip in rc.conf defaultrouter="100.100.100.1" - In order to connect the outside nic of the firewall directly to the router, don't we need a "special" cable, the cat-5 equivalent of a null-modem cable?

I don't know why renaming to .profile didn't work. It should. Did you perhaps change your X settings such that xterms are login shells by default? In any event, a lot of people always want the non-login stuff to be avail, so you might try adding the following to the ned of your .bash_profile: [ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc WHen debugging a problem like this, I often find it usefuil to observe exactly when a particular config file is being read. Try adding a line like the following to each of your dot-files: echo $0:.bash_profile:$- Replace .bash_profile with the proper file name. $- is the set of shell options in effect, e.g. interactive, etc. 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 Visualization Lab ->>| it would be FreeBSD.

They use Pairgain EtherPhone boxes. It has an RJ-45 ethernet conection that you connect your ethernet card to. It functions like a hub. There is no special config on the FBSD side. My ISP uses dhcp for IP address assignment so it's necessary to run a dhcp client but that is no problem. I also have the firewall enabled and use it with natd as a gateway between the dsl line and the other systems (NT and Win95) on my home lan. It works great. The FBSD box is an old 486/33 system I put together from spare bits and seems to be perfectly adequate for the task. I use an el-cheapo generic NE2000 compatible ethernet card. The only problem you may have (as I did) is that the install techs don't know anything except Mac/NT/Win95. You may have to boot one of those for them. The guy who did the install for me had his own laptop (W95) that he tested the link with. It took me about a half hour after he left to get it running on the FBSD box. There are several interface boxes for dsl. US West is changing from the PairGain to something else, I hear. As far as I know, almost all of them use a standard ethernet connection to the computer. I doubt that there would be any problems using dsl and FBSD. My line is only 192K but is sure a lot faster than the 28.8 dial-up that it replaced. So far I'm very happy with the whole set-up. Feel free to email with other questions.

You've got the option in you pop3 client set to leave messages on the server, so when it tries to check mail popper loads the entire mail file in (which starts getting slow at aobut 1200 messages) - to blank the file just rm it (/var/mail/{username}).

Could you please explain the main differences between them, and why people who tested both systems chose FreeBSD rather than Linux? I think it would be interesting to include this discussion in the FAQ, provided these differences are not just a matter of individual taste or activism. Thanks in advance.

Well, As someone who'd been a user of, (as opposed to an administrator of) various flavours of UNIX, I purchased and installed the Walnut Creek release 2.2.5 of Free BSD It cost $35, and I got the server up and configured to do what I needed over about 5 working days (it is now domain-email and web proxy server for my LAN - talking to ISP via dial-up modem) If I needed to configure another PC to do the same in a similar circumstance I could probably re-do everything in an afternoon. For comparison, software to do the same for WinNT would probably cost in excess of $2000 and could be installed and configured in a couple of hours. :-) You pay your $$ and take a chance :-) I'm happy with FreeBSD, especially given the response that I had to the more arcane questions when I asked them on this list. ;-) <><=====================================================><> Michael Doyle phone: +353-1-661-0588 Network Administrator http://indigo.ie/~coopnth/ Co-Operation North E-mail: relyod@co-operation-north.ie (0ffice) relyod@indigo.ie (Personal) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 11 08:20:34 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA28492 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 08:20:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from wired.ctech.ac.za (wired.ctech.ac.za [155.238.4.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA28303 for ; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 08:19:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za) Received: from wired.ctech.ac.za (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by wired.ctech.ac.za (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id QAA21501 for ; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 16:44:32 +0200 (SAT) (envelope-from jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za) Message-ID: <34E1B950.167EB0E7@wired.ctech.ac.za> Date: Wed, 11 Feb 1998 16:44:32 +0200 From: Jacques Hugo X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: printing problems Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi there ...

Backup your important stuff and take the plunge. Try it yourself. That's the only way to figure out if it will work for you. Look into NetBSD and OpenBSD if you have the time. (Check out www.netbsd.org, and www.openbsd.org). I gather FreeBSD works better than Linux for many, but it didn't for me. That DOESN'T make it a bad OS. It just makes it a bad OS for me. I tried asking the same question about a week and a half ago. Then, after three years with Slackware Linux, I switched. Today I'm leaving it to try NetBSD and maybe in a week or two, OpenBSD. I may try one more clean install of FreeBSD before I go... this time using their CURRENT (maybe unstable) version. However, I think within a month, I'm going to be back to Linux. (Linux was working fine for me, but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about regarding the alternatives. The only reason I see for sticking it out with a BSD-based system, at this point, is to diversify my resume a bit further.) A general impression that I'm not qualified to evaluate one way or the other, is that FreeBSD's code is tighter and the security capabilities of all the BSD's are better. This may make FreeBSD a pretty good server box, but for me, it lacks several things that I need. After asking about several problems on FreeBSD-questions, I got feedback that indicated it couldn't do what Linux could: - Properly connect to a DECserver multiplexor. - Boot Windows 95 from my second hard disk. (This appears to vary. Others do not have this problem, but others don't seem to have my setup.) - Proper full VT-terminal emulation outside of X-Windows, while still maintaining the ability to use the syscons graphics. - Connect to a Linux server. I've fought with these problems for over a week now, and maybe if I fought for a month I'd solve them. But I didn't have to fight to get them working right away with Linux. I did get responses like "Maybe in Windows 98... ummm NT 5.0, err... I mean, FreeBSD 3.0," "Change your hardware," and "We don't consider that worth doing at this time," which are some of Micro$oft's favorite lines. In my day-to-day usage, I couldn't find anything that FreeBSD did, that Linux could not. (And I saw several people on this mailing list asking about Linux emulation. There appeared to be a lot of interest in programs that only run under Linux. On the Linux lists, I don't see nearly as many requests for FreeBSD emulation or programs that only run under FreeBSD.)

Well, we've all done this, so don't worry about it. :) When I get to the end of my rope on a problem, I often will go do something else for a while, come back and type up a query to the appropriate list, then save it (without sending it). I find that a fresh brain and the action of formulating the query often kicks the neurons loose, and I end up solving it myself.

This is an AMD PCINet card, which is an oddball. The PCI lnc driver should pick it up automatically. Do you have a line like device lnc1 in your kernel? Note the absence of the on isa?.. part.

Read the man page and example cvsup files? :) It's well documented that there are no tags for the ports or docs collections. Specifying the RELENG_2_2 (i.e., -Stable) tag guarantees that your ports and docs will disappear. I use the following in my "all" cvsup file. I am sure there are easier ways to do this, but this works. :) I added these lines to the example -Stable cvsup file: # From the example file src-all # What I added to get it all in the same sweep doc-all tag=. ports-all tag=.

The problem is with the bootmanager, which needs to be installed from windows 95 in the IDE disk after the BSD is installed in the SCSI disk. Everything seems to be fine now ... BUT: by default the kernwl is loaded from sd(1,a)kernel and then at the very end of the process I get a: "cannot mount root from sd1" and the machine rebbots. If I specify at the boot prompt: 1:sd(0,1)kernel then I manage to mount / and I am good to go. Is there any way to make this painful typing of 1:sd(0,1)kernel automatic, so that It will look there by default ? Also, what kernel is it loading at sd1 ?? I do not have an sd1 ... !! Question 2: I am using a packard bell PC with a PS/2 mouse, and I am having trouble when trying to start X. It seems not to like my mouse and complains about the device 'psm0' which is in /dev !! The manual says that the device needs to be reconfigured ... Well what does it mean ? I have also tried to use the sysinstall and selected PS/2 mouse, with no luck at all :) Thanks for your help :) On Thu, 12 Feb 1998, Richard Lyon wrote: #See comments below: # #-----Original Message----- #From: Andrea Di Fabio #To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG #Date: Wednesday, 11 February 1998 13:50 #Subject: IDE + SCSI # # #>I am trying to install 2.2.5 on a 1G SCSI drive. #>I use a aha1542cf and it seems to be working fine. #> #>My primary drive is a 2.3G IDE drive with Win95. #>After installing BSD on the SCSI drive I am not able to #boot it. #> # #This is a similar setup to what I use.

You would be better off adding the ram and letting the OS handle disk caching for you. Once you have the ram in, use the *stat's (systat, vmstat, iostat) to get a picture of where your bottlenecks are. In fact, it would be a good idea to start getting a good picture of your current conditions so you'll know for sure where to spend your money. > >2.

Make sure that you know where your bottlenecks are first. Depending on your cash situation, configuring a second machine as a hot backup might serve your needs better. Depending on your definition of "heavy load," there are some recommendations for our heavily loaded IRC servers that I wrote up at http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/dal-upgrade.html. That info and the mail archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html should give you plenty of places to look for more ideas.

Not sure about the 4th, but as a general rule I agree that linux/windows integration is quite a bit better. I credit this, really, to the fact that most freebsd folks are die-hard unix fans and don't even have win95/nt, and so they don't bother with things like vfat support. (just a personal theory) So if these are your needs, then by all means linux is a better option. > I've fought with these problems for over a week now, and maybe if I fought > for a month I'd solve them.

But you don't see me running linux. Bottom line is that freebsd is trouble-free for me. I love that. I can tell you *loads* of stories of problems I've had with linux w/slackware, redhat, and debian. But I'll just tell one b/c it was the last straw and why I run fbsd: Someone wrote a nifty scheduler patch for linux that was based on the QNX scheduler. Groovy, I thought, so I snarfed it, recompiled my kernel, saved my old kernel(*), ran lilo, and rebooted. So the (*) means that I didn't really save my old kernel. Debian puts the kernel images in /kernel/vmlinux- (or whatever). Then, IIRC, there is a link in / to the current kernel image. I accidentally renamed the *last* kernel I made w/o the version number, so when I made this new one I thought that the one with the current version number was the old-old one, and blew it away. I also blew away the one without a version number. My fault--yes, I suppose. But w/freebsd I've got kernel.GENERIC in /, as well as my last kernel (kernel.old) and my most recent kernel. If my new kernel doesn't boot, then I can just type at the boot prompt to boot kernel.old. If some reason that doesn't work, there's always kernel.GENERIC. I never have to think twice before building a new kernel since I know that I'll have *no trouble* going back to the old one. Right, so, it wouldn't boot. Aha--you say, but what about that handy dandy debian boot disk recovery thing? Well, I had one, but it was pretty old and wouldn't let me choose which disk to set as my root (just a bug; it happens). I didn't keep a newer one b/c we have half a dozen unix boxes here and I can always go to debian.org and snarf the current boot floppy. So I snarfed a new one and GUESS WHAT? It had a newer kernel and didn't recognize my ethernet card. It also didn't recognize the 4 ethernet cards I ripped out of some of our other computers in frustration. Here's the crime: the *NEW* bootdisks for the "stable" release of debian had (1) no new version numbers (2) they did not retain the old ones on the ftp site. I was hosed--there was nothing I could do to preserve linux on my box short of buying a new ethernet card or ordering the CDROM and building an older kernel or something. So 30 minutes later I had fbsd installed and haven't regretted it for one second (about 9 months now; though I'd run freebsd for about 6 months before). FBSD people call it "PLA" --principle of least astonishment. I think they're on the right track. ymmv. -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 11 12:06:39 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA08576 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 12:06:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from vs1.virtualisys.com ([207.137.172.173]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA08417 for ; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 12:06:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from randyk@ccsales.com) Received: from ntrkcasa (pool41.hiper.net [207.137.172.41]) by vs1.virtualisys.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA07779 for ; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 12:05:49 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19980211120549.033a6230@ccsales.com> X-Sender: randyk@ccsales.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Wed, 11 Feb 1998 12:05:49 -0800 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: "Randy A.

You need to wire down your SCSI devices. Did I explain this to you already, or was that someone else? in any case the relevant lines are in /sys/i386/conf/LINT. For the mouse device: Did you enable psm0 in the boot-time configuration or your kernel config?

Keeping in mind that I am not part of and don't speak for the FreeBSD team, I think you misunderstand the meanings of "Release" and "Stable" as they apply here. When a "-Release" version of FreeBSD is stamped onto a CD, that code is frozen in time, and anything that is called (for example) 2.2.5-Release will always be the same. In the time period before and after that point in the development of the code that the -Release is taken from, there are changes (almost always improvements :) being made all the time. The 2.2* branch of FreeBSD is called -Stable because the changes that are committed to it should be (you guessed it) stable. That is, they should have been thoroughly tested before they are committed, and anyone downloading -Stable on a given day should have a high degree of certainty that it will work. Are you seeing the distinction? A -Release version will always be the same thing, forever. A 2.2.5-Stable version that you download today will be the same on your machine, but the 2.2.5-Stable version I download tomorrow will very likely contain some small differences. When enough differences/improvements have accumulated, it's time for a new -Release version, and the FreeBSD project is working on that now. That's why there are no -Stable CD's. By the time it's time for a new one of those, we call it -Release. :) Hope this helps, Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 5,328 clients and still growing. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 11 13:16:36 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA22465 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 13:16:36 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mental (dyna192.dialup.dti.net [206.252.158.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA22445 for ; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 13:16:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from spork@dti.net) Received: from localhost (spork@localhost) by mental (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id QAA04942 for ; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 16:15:15 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from spork@dti.net) X-Authentication-Warning: mental: spork owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 11 Feb 1998 16:15:15 -0500 (EST) From: Spike Gronim X-Sender: spork@mental Reply-To: spork To: fbsdqs Subject: HP 722C Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello.

Thank you for the advice about my 3C590 PCI ethernet card! Now, for additional help... :) What do I have to do to configure my ethernet card so that other (Win95)computers on the LAN can ping it? All I have done so far is recognize that my ethernet card is under the vx0 device name. How do I make sure the computer detected the card? Now, for the next step, I think you have to mess around with the rc.conf file, right? If I remebered correctly, you have to do something with the ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" line under the file. What do I have to change it to? I am basically setting up my FreeBSD machine to be able to ping back and forth with my other peer computers. I am in no way connected to the internet and doing anything fancy for now. Is there any other files I have to configure my ethernet with? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you very much for being there!

I did order the new book that you recommended from Walnut. It covers version 2.2.5 which is my version. Someone wrote to me and said that I should be able to install from the CDROM running DOS. I have DOS 7 on a boot floppy with the drivers for the CDROM. There is no operating system on the hard drive but I have created DOS partitions and copied files from the CDROM to the DOS partition successfully. Can I just go to the install program on the CDROM using the DOS 7 boot disk and run that program to install?

How many nics are you putting in the FreeBSD box. It is starting to sound like 1. I have had conversations with two others about this so of layout, and you are really better off getting it right to start with. For starters, I bet you don't have 1000 machines on your local ethernet cable. 3 of those class Cs are for virtual webservers? Then you should put the addresses as aliases on lo0 of the web machine, and add a route to the network via that machine as a gateway. > - set the default gateway to the router's ip in rc.conf > defaultrouter="100.100.100.1" > > - In order to connect the outside nic of the firewall directly to the > router, don't we need a "special" cable, the cat-5 equivalent of a > null-modem cable? So you do have 2 nics. Are you intending on using an entire class C for the link between the FreeBSD box and the router? Please draw an ascii diagram of your intended network layout, with machines and services. List the current IP addresses on the network, and use the real numbers, not 100.100.100.x, please. Then I'll be able to give you a more comprehensive answer.

I have been installing FreeBSD 2.2.5 = on a Intel=20 pc and I have problems

The network = adapter is the=20 Etherlink II 3C503 (8 bit) from 3Com. I already
use it with Windows95 and it works fine. =
The problem probably is the memory board adress e.g. = D8000.=20 Now I use

How I can I disable the address in FreeBSD or MUST I = use a=20 free address
e.g D8000.
 
Thanks in advance.

If this is the only thing FreeBSD needs to be C2 compliant, maybe someone could come up with some kind of fix where your username and password can optionally be put in the boot block so you need it to give any startup options on bootup. Then use the bios to stop flopy bootups. Would that satisfy the requirements? -mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 11 14:12:27 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA01371 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 14:12:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.ruhrgebiet.individual.net (in-ruhr.ruhr.de [141.39.224.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA01342; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 14:12:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bs@devnull.ruhr.de) Received: (from admin@localhost) by mail.ruhrgebiet.individual.net (8.8.5-r-beta/8.8.5) with UUCP id WAA24004; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 22:52:58 +0100 (MET) Received: from rm.devnull.ruhr.de [192.168.22.75] by devnull.ruhr.de with smtp (Exim 1.73 #1) id 0y2jq1-0000IP-00; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 22:37:01 +0100 Received: from bs by rm.devnull.ruhr.de with local (Exim 1.73 #1) id 0y2juS-0000AS-00; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 22:41:36 +0100 To: Cliff Addy Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG, isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD firewall questions References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Benedikt Stockebrand Date: 11 Feb 1998 22:41:35 +0100 In-Reply-To: Cliff Addy's message of "Wed, 11 Feb 1998 08:48:40 -0500 (EST)" Message-ID: <87en19vmy8.fsf@devnull.ruhr.de> Lines: 88 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.5/XEmacs 20.3 - "Vatican City" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Cliff Addy writes: > - I think we have to change the default gateway of all our systems to the > firewall box, is that correct?

Does this routing on the firewall box look right? Not really. A router is usually connected to two (or more) networks. What you're doing right now is connect it twice to the same network 100.100.100.* at least from the IP address point of view, which is not exactly your intention. You'll need several networks: Network 1: Between your ISP/NSP and your router. Network 2: Between your router and your packet filter. Network 3-n: Your internal network(s). Possibly you have a perimeter/DMZ network with application proxies and/or outbound servers like FTP or WWW servers. The important thing is that you use Network 3-n addresses within Network 2. No good. You may consider spending a whole class C network for that, use a NAT/RFC1918 network address (192.168.*.*) or subnet one of your networks 3-n and use one of the subnets for the net between router and packet filter. The first solution is the "clean" one, but may require another registered class C, so it's not exactly perfect. The second solution should work fine if your router lets you use those NAT addresses. The third is a bit tricky; I wouldn't consider it unless the other two solutions didn't work. If you try, make sure you get the network and broadcast addresses right. And of course there's always the solution I missed... > - set static network routes to the internal class C networks > route add -net 100.100.100.0 -interface 100.100.100.100 > route add -net 100.100.101.0 -interface 100.100.100.100 > route add -net 100.100.102.0 -interface 100.100.100.100 > route add -net 100.100.103.0 -interface 100.100.100.100 You can probably simplify things if you use a specific netmask. This may speed things up a bit. Try something like # route add -net 100.100.100.0 -netmask 255.255.251.0 \ -interface 100.100.100.100 (not tested and I'm a bit out of practice with the syntax, so YMMV). > - set a static route to the router's ip address > route add 100.100.100.1 100.100.100.101 > > or does this need to be > route add 100.100.100.1 -interface 100.100.100.101 This is where things get messy because you're overriding the network route(s) above with a host route. The most ugly part about it is that internal machines can't reach the router itself anymore --- they can send things through it, but they can't even ping it to see if it's up. They'll always complain about a "host is down" or similar. Sorry I can't really tell about the proper routing syntax --- it's been about three or four years that I've last done anything serious about this on FreeBSD (and then we used dynamic routing). > - In order to connect the outside nic of the firewall directly to the > router, don't we need a "special" cable, the cat-5 equivalent of a > null-modem cable? You can use a proper hub instead. It is also possible to build a null-hub cable, but I don't remember which wires to cross. Sorry, maybe some hardware fraggle knows? Ben -- Ben(edikt)?

There seems to be a problem in this area. In all probability it's not the TX chipset. Do this: 1. Reboot the machine. When booting, enter the configuration editor and change the flags for sio0 and sio1 to 0x80 (they're normally 0x0). Report the probe messages (you can get them again with dmesg).

Sort of. -RELEASE happens at a particular point in time, required for pressing a CD-ROM. -STABLE is an ongoing thing. There are two possibilities: 1. -RELEASE is a newer version than -STABLE. A while back we had 2.2.-RELEASE and 2.1.7-STABLE. 2. -RELEASE and -STABLE are the same version. This means that at the time -RELEASE is released, it's the same thing as -STABLE. Then -STABLE continues evolving, while -RELEASE stays the way it is.

I have Tektronix Phaser IIIPXi (postscript) colour printer, which was connected to Appletalk, but now I want to put on ethernet. FreeBSD (2.2.5) + netatalk + parrallel port is a cheap way to do it. Spooling with netatalk and FreeBSD works fine... Printing ascii encoded postscript files also works fine. Printing postscript files containing binary data and the printer hangs forever. Further investigation finds that I can cat ascii postscript files (i.e. cat test.ps > /dev/lpt0) ok, but not postscript files containing binary encoded image data.

I can mount normal data cdroms. I've been able to mount audio cd's before. I can play audio cd's with Win95. I tried to mount audio CD's I know I've mounted before. I tried to mount the audio cd using : sh-2.00# mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom That's when I get this error: sh-2.00# cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Input/output error Using the same command to mount a data cdrom: sh-2.00# mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom sh-2.00# cd /cdrom sh-2.00# ls [dir listing] So mounting a normal cdrom is not a problem. I've tried mount_cd9660 with the same results. Does anybody know a solution to this? Is the cdrom player corrupted?

I was wondering if it was possible to do something such that I can broadcast another name so my machine would respond to the default name and my customized name. something like this: default: ss-d0015.resnet.ucsc.edu what I like: beta.resnet.ucsc.edu thanks micahel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 11 16:57:15 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA26358 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 16:57:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from top.worldcontrol.com (surf52.cruzers.com [205.215.232.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id QAA26295 for ; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 16:56:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from brian@worldcontrol.com) From: brian@worldcontrol.com Received: (qmail 484 invoked by uid 100); 12 Feb 1998 00:57:54 -0000 Message-ID: <19980211165750.46853@top.worldcontrol.com> Date: Wed, 11 Feb 1998 16:57:50 -0800 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: parallel port autoswitch no go Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.90.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I bought a LinkSys parallel autoswitch so I could share a printer between my wife's Microsoft Windows 95 machine and my FreeBSD laptop.

I've never seen that. INIT comes from the MOTD on the remote host, it actually says INITIALIZE PPP NOW. the ppp_crypt is an alias to /usr/local/bin/ppplogin crypt (where 'crypt' is the interface its logging into--all that stuff works fine, and has worked fine for years--and continues to work fine for other people :) -Brandon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 11 17:46:23 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA04959 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 17:46:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from tshansen.reshall.ucsd.edu (tshansen.reshall.ucsd.edu [128.54.173.26]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA04851 for ; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 17:46:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from taco@tshansen.reshall.ucsd.edu) Received: from localhost (taco@localhost) by tshansen.reshall.ucsd.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id RAA02411; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 17:46:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from taco@tshansen.reshall.ucsd.edu) Date: Wed, 11 Feb 1998 17:46:12 -0800 (PST) From: "Todd 'Taco' Hansen" Reply-To: taco@mad.scientist.com To: michael cc: freebsd questions Subject: Re: dorm room ethernet In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG no. if you had your own domain name, or found someone who was giving them out, you could assign a name from their domain, but you don't have any power to globally change/modify another organizations domain names.

The primary dialup server is an NT machine and it just went to hell, but I have been working on a FreeBSD based dialup server in my spare time to use in emergencies like these, I just didn't expect to see one so soon... I am trying to use kernel PPP (pppd) as explained in the handbook, (with kermit), but everytime I run the startup script, I get this error: +++ATH0 OK ATS0=1 OK pppd 2.3.1 started by root, uid 0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cuaa1 Serial line is looped back Connection terminated, connected for 1 minutes I don't know why I keep getting `Serial line is looped back', but as soon as that message appears I get the next line (connection terminated)... I you need to see my configuration file (/etc/ppp/options, etc...) please, let me know.... I have also tried User PPP with mgetty, but I can't seem to get clients online, they only get a shell, but are unable to get a PPP connection... Any assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated!

I have a Sony 1902 that I run on X as well as a Hitachi 19 inch monitor. I'm not sure, but I believe the 1955 is also fixed-scan at 1024x768. I use plain vanilla SVGA cards and, so I can't help you with the Gemini card, however. I am able to get the correct scan rates, sync polarities, etc from my Diamond Speedstar and Cyrrus cards, so I never bought a special card. I have cables that go from the VGA connector to BNC inputs on the monitors. I'd be glad to send you the Monitor config section from my XF86Config if it would help you. It might even work! You can probably get the horizontal and vertical scan rates on the web if you try. I believe I found several sites that listed Sony monitor specs. It's been too long, so I don't remember what they were, but they were found using AltaVista. regards, Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Feb 11 18:23:13 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA11844 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 18:23:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from allegro.lemis.com (allegro.lemis.com [192.109.197.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA11815 for ; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 18:22:55 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by allegro.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA18499; Thu, 12 Feb 1998 12:52:35 +1030 (CST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.8/8.8.7) id MAA00758; Thu, 12 Feb 1998 12:52:29 +1030 (CST) (envelope-from grog) Message-ID: <19980212125229.04233@freebie.lemis.com> Date: Thu, 12 Feb 1998 12:52:29 +1030 From: Greg Lehey To: Shawn Ramsey Cc: Doug White , FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: Mixed Case Passwords References: <19980212123441.23599@freebie.lemis.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.89i In-Reply-To: ; from Shawn Ramsey on Wed, Feb 11, 1998 at 06:14:55PM -0800 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Wed, 11 February 1998 at 18:14:55 -0800, Shawn Ramsey wrote: >>> You can't just type the password again to force it?

Then I had to compile & install the dhcp client package. That got me on the air. Once I got it all working I tackled the natd and firewall set-up so I could get the other boxes on my LAN up & running. The handbook at freebsd.org had all the info I needed. I'm runnng a pretty basic natd & firewall setup. The dsl stuff is not really any different than any other ethernet network setup. The system I'm on is a point-to-point link to my ISP. You have to select an ISP that offers dsl connectivity. I have a 192k fulltime connection. The ISP is the gateway to the rest of the world. The cost is $40/mo for the link and my ISP charges $25/mo. The $40 is on top of normal residential phone charges. There was a $200 installation fee. It's only a tad more expensive than adding a second phone line and upgrading to a new 56k modem. The US West web site (www.uswest.com) has quite a bit of info on it, both marketing BS and some technical info. They call it "MegaBit Services" (if only it really was a megabit). They are rolling it out to about 40 cities in the western US. There are some restrictions on distance from the central office and some other considerations about your physical phone line so it isn't available to everyone yet. I'm only a couple blocks from our CO so I lucked out. Anyway, I hope that answers some questions. It's not directly related to FreeBSD but I think xDSL is going to be pretty popular and so I suspect there will be more queries about it here as it rolls out. Disclaimer: I have no connection to US West (oops...no pun intended) except as a customer.

It does wonders when one gives it is own account. By running TNOS as root, you are inviting trouble. I don't *ever* want a program with the need to open/read/store large files or large numbers of files as root. If it wasn't for the fact that I run netscape out of my own home directory I would worry about it. Do you know what happens to / when netscape seg faults and blows a 10MB file to your rootfs? Space -> Zero. The only handy part about that is that you can place any (downloading) file anywhere. As for TNOS... It should be away from the machine. I like to run TNOS and the OS as two seperate systems, linked by slip. I haven't had any fiddling with system files on the system. It runs in its own happy world. -- Kris Kirby ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.

Depends. You could download the latest boot floppy and booting from that. One of the menu options is 'Upgrade' to upgrade the version of FreeBSD on your system. Alternatively, if this is something you're planning on doing regularly, if you're staying up with -current or -stable for example, then you should read the handbook section "Staying 'x' with FreeBSD" (where 'x' is either 'stable' or 'current') which will explain how to download the source code you need to your computer. Then read http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html which explains what to do with those sources once you've got them. > How can I best evaluate the benefits of upgrading? Depends why you're upgrading. If you want to improve performance then you should work out how to quantify your current performance, and where possible bottlenecks are. Once you've done this, a post to appropriate mailing list (which is almost certainly -questions) outlining the performance you're seeing and the version of FreeBSD you're using would be good. Then ask if anyone knows if the changes and improvements in the latest version will affect the performance you're seeing. Keep in mind that you don't need to upgrade if the system is already keeping up with the load you're putting on it. I know of a couple of sites which run FreeBSD 2.0 for various things. The admins keep up with the latest security advisories and make sure that the holes are fixed, but apart from that they don't need to move to a new release of the OS.

Our campus allows the students to fill out a form for DNS aliases. That is the only way you could get your beta.resnet.scds.edu name. There is an alternative. Check up dynip.com or ml.org. They offer dns services. Basically you put a command in your init script so as soon as your machine gets an ip it posts it their dns. You could then use something like beta.ml.org. Assuming that is not taken. Of course when you log in somewhere your machine will show up as ss-d0015.

Many of the SOHO laser printers I have considered so far exclusively work in conjunction with a special DOS, Windows or MacOS driver that preprocesses the page for them. This is of course no option for me as the printer is also to run under FreeBSD 2.2.5 using the usual GhostScript filter method. One of the few SOHO printers that does not seem to have this constraint (and that I still can afford to buy) is the HP LaserJet 6L. Therefore I am interested in experiences users have made with this printer under FreeBSD, especially when it comes to using GhostScript with it. But I am also interested to learn about other SOHO 600dpi laser printers that can be used under FreeBSD 2.2.5. -- Sascha Blank | "I prefer to work behind the scenes.

During the last months I spent a lot of time in comparing FreeBSD (2.2.2-RELEASE) to Linux (2.0.30) on the same machine (P90) embedded in a heterogenous environment (DECalpha systems running Digital UNIX, SPARC systems running Solaris etc.). Major technical differences I found by a couple of performance measurements and code studies are: 1. The Linux scheduler which is very different from other UNIX schedulers (and thus the FreeBSD scheduler) behaves very poor when the system is heavily loaded (no fair scheduling!). 2. The Linux NFS implementation doesn't compare to the FreeBSD implementation. It's neither Version 3 as in FreeBSD nor does it support write-behind by the nfsiod daemons. So for NFS clients which need write access Linux is a bad choice (only about 1/3 of the FreeBSD performance). 3. Since the Linux 2nd Extended File Systems by default also buffers inode and comparable data it's faster in operations like unpacking tar files. With some risk one can mount a FreeBSD Fast File System with an async option but then the dirty buffers containing critical data will be flushed only in 30 second intervals. Linux runs a special bdflush daemon with a 5 second interval for critical data which is more reliable. On the other hand I found the sequential writes and (much more important) reads of larger files are about 30%..50% faster with FreeBSD and the FFS. Last, non-technical point: For people like me who are accustomed to UNIX for years FreeBSD is very pleasing since it is in fact *UNIX* although it doesn't wear the trademark. Linux is Linux and no UNIX - it's a reimplementation with a lot of more or less perceptible small differences.

Symptom is no incomming mail. :-) Current config: I have sendmail running, and it sends out-going mail just fine, and sendmail.cf has a record telling it to deal with mail for the domain the ppp.linkup script also has a line: "!bg /bin/etrn.pl snmp.connect.ie co-operation-north.ie" ^^^^ My ISP's Mail host ^^^^ my domain name However, no mail seems to be arriving, and when I send mail using an a/c outside the domain (this a/c) the mail doesn't bounce, but it never arrives. Doing an NSLOOKUP with type set to MX gives my ISP's mailhost as the MX host for my email domain. (Correct, I hope) [to be pedantic, it reports "ook.connect.ie" is the MX host, smtp.connect.ie is an alias] How do I (1) check if the mail is ever getting as far as the ISP's mail host ?

I had exactly the same Dilemma for our News services. I used Linux exclisivlyfor everything but then news got *REALLY* busy and it was taking too long to track fixes/ups/downs of the Linux kernel. I knew FreeBSD was rock solid but the solid versions were far less advanced in some aspects than the Linux kernels that were currently avaliable. I went the FreeBSD way for news and am still working on getting up it (Busy you know :) hence the question I sent earlier about the CCD drivers. My conslusion: Linux is great for workstations, I use it for all my workstations and LOVE it, I know the kernel well and it has good utils and nice bits :) FreeBSD is great for servers that are mission critical, heavily loaded and need to be up all the time, saying that I run Linux on our name, database, www, mail etc servers and they never give me any problems, all work perfectly. But for News, the big one that we have running on 5 machines each with 2 100bT cards in and lots of RAID things Linux just did not keep up well - I have HIGH hopes for FreeBSD! BSD I have seen is also a LOT easier to track, Linux is busy! -- Leigh Porter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 12 08:18:34 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA17111 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 12 Feb 1998 08:18:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from claven.ds.adp.com ([206.242.82.200]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id IAA17066 for ; Thu, 12 Feb 1998 08:18:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from lahrg@atlanta.ds.adp.com) Received: from steve.hoffman.ds.adp.com by claven.ds.adp.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id KAA06471; Thu, 12 Feb 1998 10:14:30 -0600 Received: from atlanta.ds.adp.com by steve.hoffman.ds.adp.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id KAA20338; Thu, 12 Feb 1998 10:06:29 -0600 Received: from lahrg (lahrg.atlanta.ds.adp.com [139.126.84.123]) by atlanta.ds.adp.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id LAA06423 for ; Thu, 12 Feb 1998 11:21:45 -0500 From: "Gary Lahr" To: Subject: Installation problem Date: Thu, 12 Feb 1998 11:16:44 -0500 Message-ID: <01bd37d1$9c4c98c0$7b547e8b@lahrg.atlanta.ds.adp.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Motherboard: Unknown CPU: CyrixDX4 100 Memory: 16 MB Video: Built into mother board.

He wishes to go about things abit differently when it comes to users restrictions. We don't want any session limits or daily limits, but this is what we do require: Each group of the FreeBSD system has different login periods, for example, group A can only login between 6am and midnight ... if they pass that period, the system will disconnect them. If anyone knows of some utility which can enforce this, we would be very greatful. Thank you, Jason McKay.

You may use ICQ (and its user-to-user interaction) using natd program. Configure your ICQ client so it is "Behind the firewall" and assign each client a separate portrange (minimum 11 contiguous ports required). Then use natd to directly map this portrange to a proper client (see redirect_port command of natd for details on how it works). Once Patrick Gardella wrote: > I've got the opposite problem.

I can't tell you exactly what's wrong without more info, but assuming that you have a box with 6 real or virtual interfaces, most ircd's bind to all of them by default. Without some kind of hack to avoid this problem, you're probably stuck with it. We were working on such a hack for our ircd, if you can't solve the problem in another way write me privately and I'll bug our coders for you. :) If I've mischaracterized your problem, please provide more details.

I believe I set it up just like our 2.2.2 servers, but it won't load ipfw rules from rc.firewall like the older machines do. I know the kernel config is fine because I can manually load rules using ipfw from the command line after it boots and all works well then. In rc.conf, I've got firewall="client" and rc.firewall currently has only /sbin/ipfw -f flush /sbin/ipfw add 65001 pass all from any to any however, after booting, "ipfw show" gives 65535 35 3005 deny ip from any to any and after loading the two rules by hand, shows 65001 5260 821572 allow ip from any to any 65535 35 3005 deny ip from any to any Is there some new thing in 2.2.5 regarding firewalls?

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Organization: The Sprawl MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, At the moment, the machine I subscribed from is down. Please CC responses to this address. I am wiping my hard disk and trying again... This time, I think I may risk 3.0-CURRENT, though I have enough time keeping up with THIS mailing list; dunno if I wanna suffer with a -current mailing list too! I have 80 MB RAM, and a 1.2 GB hard disk. During the install, the auto- matic partitioning/slicing suggests a 169 MB swap. Is this reasonable? The machine is primarily a single user machine, but I do serve a handful of web pages and a few FTP files. (I also like to serve up NFS and SAMBA style connections, but to a very small audience.) I also hope to set the machine up as a single-user ISP providing me with a PPP server that I can dial into from home. There's a second disk in the machine with Lose95, since that's what the rest of my office uses, and it's good for Myst and Riven. ;-) I want X Windows and maybe a game or two, but I'm not game-crazy. Fortran 77, C/C++, Perl, Java, Tcl/Tk and database support (Postgres? mSQL? I dunno: I'm new to this stuff) would be nice too. Maybe Forth. During the install, I'll probably go nuts and install too much. I don't WANT TeX or emacs, but so much seems to depend on these two. Many of the other programs/ports/ packages always look interesting, but I don't have enough info to evaluate them.

Initially I installed 3.0-971225-SNAP onto a clean drive. All went well. Then I got sidetracked and didn't have time to play with it for a while aside from rebuilding the kernel and getting X up and running. So I decided to get the latest SNAP (at the time: 3.0-980206-SNAP) the brute force method -- by reinstalling all the packages over the old install. After rebooting ld.so complains that it can't find a bunch of libs. running just about anything which requires a *.so.* doesn't work. running ldconfig doesn't fix things cuz the missing files are just not there. Question is: Where are they? Is there a package I can install to make things good again? Do I have to build these libs? If so, can someone point me as to where the sources usually sit?

I am new to this OS, and to UN*X, but must say that I am impressed with what I have seen. I run FreeBSD 2.2.5 from CD-ROM. I have noticed during the boot that FreeBSD finds a "TCP/IP compatible device", and identifies it as being on COM port 1. This is correct, but now I do not know how to get the system to recognize my modem. It is a Hayes Accura 14.4B modem. I've tried the PPP command and started TERM mode, and I can dial out, but I can't connect to my ISP, which, incidently, is MSN. They do not require a DNS server or anything. But with the PPP program I can't login. Are there any easy ways to set it up, like a dailing program with a login script? Also, I can't build any ports, like Netscape. I've installed the ports collection, but when I try to make the port, the system attempts to FTP it from the net (which I can't access). Is there any way to tell the system to access the CD-ROM when I try and build my ports? Finally, is there any way I can access files one my MS DOS partition? I've downloaded StarOffice for Linux (under Win '95) as well as the Linux emulator, but I can't get the files off of my FreeBSD partition. Thanks for all of your help. As long as Microsoft is still around, I will gladly promote FreeBSD everywhwere the is a computer (watch for the web page, coming soon).

You should have two MX records for your domain, one listing your machine and the other listing your ISP. Your machine should have a lower preference number (typically 10) and the ISP should have a higher preference number (typically 20). This means that all incoming mail will try your server first becauase it has the lower preference. If it is unreachable, it will be delivered to the ISP. The ISP will then keep trying to send it to the lower preference MX (that's you!)

Take a look at your disk labels with disklabel -r sd1 disklabel -r sd2 It should end with something like: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 1173930 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 358) e: 1173930 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 358) I'd guess that your fstype for partition e is "unused". That will cause this error message. Compare ccd(4): Note that the `raw' partitions of the disks should not be combined. The kernel will only allow component partitions of type FS_BSDFFS (type ``4.2BSD'' as shown as disklabel(8)).

My idea for this web page would be a free promotional page for all webmasters. The main utility that will be provided to visitors is a Search Engine registration that allows them to type there web page information into one form and then submit it to many engines. There will be other promotional and web page building sections but these will not be the main attraction. By now you may be wondering were this envolves you, well as you probably know getting server space can be very expensive and maintaining a page can also be quite costly. I am trying to get several sponsors to each pay a little to help pay for this page. Each sponsor would get space on the page for an advertisement. I expect this page to attract many visitors because other pages of the same nature that provide Search Engine registration for a price get thousands of visitors a day and they have to pay. Any money beyond the price of the server space and the domain name registration would be used to promote the page which would attract even more visitors to it. If you are at all interested in sponsoring us please reply and we would greatly appreciate and reward any offers.

The general opionion was that I should use a full class C netmask for the aliases that I add to the ethernet device. This confuses me for two main reasons :- 1. It seems wrong. The address is part of a subnet, why have a mask if it does not reflect the network the address is from ? 2. It doesnt work ! The address is still unreachable from anywhere. (including the local machine) I do have a work-around which is to add a specific route pointing at the loopback address:- /sbin/route add -host 210.8.131.132 -gateway 127.0.0.1 This works fine, but feels like a "hack" - is this a traditional way of doing this sort of thing ?

You will have to figure it out for yourself. (or read a good source) That being said, tcsh can be installed from the ports collection. If you have the directory '/usr/ports/shells/tcsh' just do the following. $ cd /usr/ports/shells/tcsh $ make $ make install If you don't have that directory then do this in order to get the directory. $ ftp ftp.freebsd.org ftp> cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports/current/shells ftp> get tsch.tar The server will then tar up the source for you to download.

It's a reasonable BBS, but I haven't tried to keep up with F6FBB's changes, so the user interface reflects W0RLI's of yore, plus some changes I made to add a few features.

FreeBSD can't see it. I press Ctrl-A at system boot to see what resources the controller is using: IRQ 11, port 0xEC00. Depending on BIOS twiddling, sometimes it uses IRQ 10. I had no trouble setting up a Supermicro P6DLS with onboard scsi. It was probed and detected with no changes to the defaults. This system is a P6DLF with the PCI scsi controller mentioned above. I tried UserConfig CLI, then into the visual, and just about covered the bases with that. Any good references on adding device support for and of course properly probing/recognizing arbitrary/new/unknown-to-bsd devices? This system also has two Fore Systems NICs with their own i960s to analyze internet traffic on Oc3 links. If I could ever get this controller going I could proceed with those headaches.

FreeBSD can run BSDI binaries, but BSDI can't run FreeBSD binaries. Wonder why...Not! Couldn't be to force folks to buy their product in order to develop for it? ;) I'm not belittling BSDI. I quite like some of the things they've done, and in fact started out with their old BSD/OS 1.1 stuff before I heard of FreeBSD. It was rock solid (almost as solid as FreeBSD? ;) and I had an old Pentium 90 running a whole slew e-mail, FTP, & web accounts on it for 1.5+ years and the P90 never cracked a sweat. I'd see uptimes in excess of 6 months -- would have been longer were it not for forced reboots when I moved things around. This does make me wonder one thing: Is there any way to cross-compile for BDS/OS on FreeBSD, or is this just plain impossible? Has anyone tried? Aaron out.

However, the crypt() library function in FreeBSD 2.2.5 doesn't appear to be compatible with older versions when given a 2 byte salt. In fact the code in /usr/src/lib/libcrypt/crypt.c doesn't indicate that making this case special. Is this a bug or am I in some way interpreting things wrongly ? Also is there any way in FreeBSD 2.2.5 to make crypt compatible with old versions (short of modifying the code). - Mohit Aron aron@cs.rice.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 12 22:55:14 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA04721 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Thu, 12 Feb 1998 22:55:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from wired.ctech.ac.za (wired.ctech.ac.za [155.238.4.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id WAA04688 for ; Thu, 12 Feb 1998 22:55:05 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za) Received: from wired.ctech.ac.za (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by wired.ctech.ac.za (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id IAA28295 for ; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 08:56:13 +0200 (SAT) (envelope-from jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za) Message-ID: <34E3EE8D.41C67EA6@wired.ctech.ac.za> Date: Fri, 13 Feb 1998 08:56:13 +0200 From: Jacques Hugo X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: .DOC files and Staroffice 4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi there ...

I have set up FreeBSD 2.2.5 as a web server for a lan, with DNS, and proxy services for a high school. I have an engineering background and, before embarking on the project, used to speak a bit of unix some ten years ago. The second time is more like a few days, in my experience. Yes it will take time. If you expect it to be time consuming, and expect lots of frustrations the battle is half over. A very steep learning curve - more like rock climbing than walking up a hill. But the view at the top is worth it. FreeBSD is not, however, for the non- technical user IMHO. Cheers Eddie.

I am trying to connect to the internet using PPP under 2.2.1. For some reason, nothing happened after Login OK! I read the faq and tried to negotiate first, but that still did not help, so I dropped into term mode and tried it. I can establish a connection, get an IP, add 0 0 HISADDR, and it "looks" like I am connected, but when I shell out to a subshell or even another virtual term, nothing works. Network wise, ping, telnet, ftp. It is not just a NS mess up. I have my NS's set in resolv.conf just fine. You can not pint IPs either. Hm, that is about it.

Well, ports isn't going to be that useful for you without network connection: most of the stuff you want and can compile is going to be in package format already on the CDROM... you'll want to just run pkg_install /cdrom/whatever.tgz. Netscape is not on the CDROM,, so you need to ftp it, or get it from win95 partition, or something. then, put it in /usr/ports/distfiles and try make install in the netscape port. > Finally, is there any way I can access files one my MS DOS partition? > I've downloaded StarOffice for Linux (under Win '95) as well as the Linux > emulator, but I can't get the files off of my FreeBSD partition. Yes, look at the man page for mount. and mount_msdos. However (a) there is no vfat support (b) it's pretty buggy and might even crash your system! I could list about 100 reasons to choose freebsd over linux, but this isn't one of them--if acccess to your win95 filesystem is a big priority for daily operations (not just before you get networking under unix going), then you might want to consider linux instead. -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 13 00:22:42 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA19796 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 00:22:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from wired.ctech.ac.za (wired.ctech.ac.za [155.238.4.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA19682 for ; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 00:22:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za) Received: from wired.ctech.ac.za (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by wired.ctech.ac.za (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id KAA28817; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 10:22:47 +0200 (SAT) (envelope-from jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za) Message-ID: <34E402D7.41C67EA6@wired.ctech.ac.za> Date: Fri, 13 Feb 1998 10:22:47 +0200 From: Jacques Hugo X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: robinh@htsa.hva.nl CC: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Where can I get StarOffice 4.x?

I tried to do it using ftp but had trouble getting an ftp connection. So then I tried ftping from Windows and downloaded freeBSDcurrent to a directory called c:\freebsd as per the installation instructions (I don't have the CD to copy it from). When I try to do the install, it seems to mount the DOS partition (I've created the BSD partition OK) but it claims it can't find the bin files (or any other stuff I try to install besides a basic install). I then tried copying the contents of c:\freebsd\src\bin to c:\freebsd\bin, but that didn't help. I assume the problem is that I just don't have the right files in the right place but I'm not sure. Can you help?

I've searched the mailing list archives and while I've discovered many people have had similar problems, none of the solutions listed there have worked for me. if anyone has any idea where I should go from where I am I would be exceptionally grateful. THE HARDWARE ----------------------------------------- Cyrix 6x86 PR200 Maxtor 84320D3 4.3 gig IDE drive Takaya ATAPI IDE CD-ROM Award Modular BIOS version 4.51PR WHAT I"M TRYING TO DO ----------------------------------------- I boot using a floppy and try to install from CD-ROM. I get to the sysinstall screens with no problem. This machine is intended to be a standalone server running only FreeBSD, so in the Partition Editor, I select "Use Entire Disk". I have also tried leaving a DOS partition in, as that was what worked for some other people. in the Disk Label editor, I have tried setting this up the way I want to: / 50M swap 128M /usr 600M /var 300M /tmp 50M /home 2992M I've also tried going with the Auto Defaults setting. I then either custom configure my install, or usr the Developer package, including DES and ports. THE PROBLEM ----------------------------------------- Regardless of anything I do, the install hangs without any error messages on screen 2 with everyone's favorite cryptic error message: Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes) It does this at complete random everytime. CLUES ----------------------------------------- The only thing I get that even vaguely resembles an error message is Warning: 3006 sectors in last cylinder unallocated I have no idea how to interpret this, or what to do about it. At one point I thought I had found the problem. in my low level formatter, (which I've used several times to put the drive in factory condition) I had it format the drive with LBA mode off instead of on. Unfortunately, this didn't solve the problem. In the BIOS, the drive is configured: cyl head sector size 8930 15 63 4320 this set itself up automatically, and is consistent with the drive's documentation. FreeBSD takes that geometry and calculates 8438850 total sectors. however, when choose to use the entire disk, FreeBSD changes the equation: cyl head sector 525 255 63 and calculates 8434125 total sectors. I've run it both ways and it has hung both times. Is there something I'm overlooking? Can any of you take these clues and solve the mystery? any ideas are greatly appreciated. thank you in advance for your time. - J.

Instead popclient you may use fetchmail - it is newer and with more options. But this way all mail will be sended to only one user. In order to redistribute it to original recipients you may use procmail for that user (or install procmail as a local mailer for sendmail) and from procmailrc file redirect all mail via sendmail with "-t" flag: Extract from man for sendmail: -t Read message for recipients. To:, Cc:, and Bcc: lines will be scanned for recipient addresses. The Bcc: line will be deleted before transmission. Any addresses in the argument list will be suppressed, that is, they will not receive copies even if listed in the message header. But better way, of cause, to ask your ISP to don't use one POP account for your domain but make queueing instead so that you may get mail via ETRN, for example. See this list's archives and FAQ (http://www.sendmail.org) for more info.

I had changed /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/southamerica and added the following rules to Brazil: Rule Brazil 1997 only - Oct 6 0:00 1:00 D Rule Brazil 1998 only - Mar 1 0:00 0:00 S Then, I've copied /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo as /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo.old, and run "zic /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/southamerica". After that, I've compared Sao_Paulo.old and the new Sao_Paulo. They are equal. So, I've removed the added lines in /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/southamerica, run zic again - and Sao_Paulo.old is still equal to Sao_Paulo. IMHO, the Sao_Paulo files must be different - what am I doing wrong? rag -------------------------------------------------------- Ricardo A G Almeida | ricardag@ag.com.br AG Sistemas | http://www.ag.com.br Rio de Janeiro, Brasil | -------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 13 06:38:08 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA02362 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 06:38:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from nsco.network.com (nsco.network.com [129.191.1.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id GAA02305 for ; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 06:37:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jeh@anubis.network.com) Received: from anubis.network.com by nsco.network.com (4.1/1.34) id AA10993; Fri, 13 Feb 98 08:35:51 CST Received: from osiris.network.com by anubis.network.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA27173; Fri, 13 Feb 98 08:35:51 CST Received: by osiris.network.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id IAA00583; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 08:35:50 -0600 From: jeh@anubis.network.com (Jeff Henning) Message-Id: <199802131435.IAA00583@osiris.network.com> Subject: Re: tcpdump setting!

The problem is that utilities like fetchmail will do what you want, but also have some adverse effects, particularly with messages sent to more than one user at your domain. The problem is that if a message is sent to, say 3 users at your domain, each user will get three copies of the messages, since the other end's smtp server sends a copy to each of the recipients, and your local sendmail wants to do the same thing. Whai I did is create a linked list of message ids with an entry for each incoming message. Every new message's id is checked against the list, and if a duplicate is found it is dumped, otherwise it is sent on to sendmail. My changes are done to a pretty old version of fetchmail, and has a small memory leak, but is very effective. If you (or others express interest in the code, I may be motivated to clean it up and make it work on later versions of fetchmail. (on version 4.1.0 now) I have been using this in a setup very simial to yours (with about 70 users) for almost 8 months now, and it is very effective. If you are interested in the code changes, let me know, and I'll help you out. Also, if you need any assistance with configuration, I'd be glad to help. (I fought with it for quite a while) I did offer the changes to Eric Raymond (author of Fetchmail, but haven't had the time or creativity to justifiy my changes inclusion in the fetchmail distribution.)

I recently bought a new motherboard and Cyrix 6x86 PR200MX. The first motherboard userd the Opti chipset and would not work at all and while I do not remember the exact failure mode it sounds like you may be seeing the same thing. I took the mother board back and got one that used the Via chipset and that works great.

Won't work all that well though since the envelope to has already been stripped. Mailing lists and bcc's won't have a usable To: address. You'll need to add procmail as your local delivery agent and use a big system wide procmailrc file to guess where mail should really go. If you only have a couple users and they don't subscribe to a lot of lists it might be workable. Better would be to have your ISP queue your mail for UUCP delivery or make you primary MX for your domain and queue for SMTP delivery. In the latter case you would issue an ETRN command to the ISP's mail server periodically to dequeue.

It does a PS->PCL conversion I assume and your 6L can certainly talk PCL. If you can afford something other than the L, you can buy PostScript modules for it and have it do the PostScript processing for you. The P series is a bit more expensive but is faster and can take PS SIMMs. We have a 5P at work and it does just about any paper you can throw at it at a decent speed and looks good too.

I am not sure, but if you have win95 with a fat32 fs, fips > won't be able to help you. It sure doesn't. Several months ago, I first installed FBSD 2.2.2 on a Win95 computer. I couldn't get fips to work because it didn't recognize Windows 95's fat32 format. I wound up using a program called "pfdisk," which if I remember right was also on wcarchive.cdrom.com (could be wrong). This worked okay, though you have to specifically specify where on the disk you want to split it, and you have to be careful, of course, not to overwrite what's already on the disk. Also, you better run DEFRAG (or whatever the Windows program is called) first before splitting the disk... Otherwise, you might overwrite portions of you disk you didn't expect... -drifter > > On Thu, 12 Feb 1998 stephen_davies@postmaster.co.uk wrote: > > I am due to buy a PII233 with a 6G disk. > > > > This will come pre-installed with Windows 95.

Actually, you want to create a new line like so: ifconfig_vx0="inet your.ip.address netmask your.netmask" Replace your.ip.address and your.netmask with the appropriate values. Also modify /etc/resolv.conf and add a line `nameserver your.nameserver.ip'.

Speaking for UO Resnet, you can simply ask for a static IP address. Explain to them that you have a UNIX box and it requires an IP. You'll get a name in the bargain.

As long as someone is primary for the subdomain, it's not required that you run DNS. If you intend on managing names for the subdomain too, you might look into it. Also, running local named will allow you to run it in caching mode, which can save time on multiple DNS lookups. > 2 - what are the nescessary configuration for the smtp to send mail to > the main server to be sent out to the outside world. The default config is pretty smart, as long as you don't have any tricky firewalls. I'd suggest adding in the changes in /etc/mail/ to keep spammers from using your server as a relay point. > 3 - i got imap-uw and would like to install it how do i compile it and > configure it. how do you add and modify user setting in this software. imap uses the standard user mailboxes. > 4 - can i do any of this via X Windows. i am having some problems, how > do i install X Windows and execute it. X will give you a terminal to set it up on :) The best way to install X is at install time, and you can probably reinstall it if you run /stand/sysinstall.

It's just good to know that LINT wasn't lying. ;-) So, what happens if you tell it that you have more memory than you actually have?

There's MkLinux which is endorsed by Apple (http://www.mklinux.apple.com), then there's LinuxPPC (http://www.linuxppc.org). Both of which pale in comparison to FreeBSD. I am currently using MkLinux DR2.1r6 on a PPC Mac 8500/150, and it's slow and VERY buggy. There is a great deal of beauty in FreeBSD's unified distribution, and small install hunks that Linux seems to lack. On the BSD side for PPC, OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org) is developping a developer release for PPC.

In 2.2.5 the format of the rc.conf file changed in several places. The following are the firewall related options in 2.2.5-Stable: firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="client" firewall_quiet="NO" All of these options are case sensitive, so be careful to match the type of firewall with the corresponding text in rc.firewall. I think that you will probably have more problems than just this one if you copied your rc.conf file directly to the new system. You might want to download the src files for /etc from the ftp site and diff them with what you have to be on the safe side. -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 5,328 clients and still growing. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 13 13:52:13 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA17159 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 13:52:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from thor.inlink.com (thor.inlink.com [206.196.96.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA17154 for ; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 13:52:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rayseals@midwestis.com) Received: from sparc.midwestis.com (sparc.midwestis.com [206.196.126.220]) by thor.inlink.com (8.8.8/V8) with ESMTP id PAA18321 for ; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 15:51:59 -0600 Received: from trs.midwestis.com ([209.135.156.237] (may be forged)) by sparc.midwestis.com (8.8.6/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA14388 for ; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 15:52:01 -0600 (CST) Received: by localhost with Microsoft MAPI; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 15:54:12 -0600 Message-ID: <01BD3897.A0D3E3A0.rayseals@midwestis.com> From: Ray Seals To: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Need suggestions Date: Fri, 13 Feb 1998 15:53:50 -0600 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet E-mail/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm running a BSD server that uses PPP to connect to the internet.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean 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 com- puter books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. The sec- ond edition has only just been published, but already a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. This list is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printing out, at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the book to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this docu- ment: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and under- lining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text 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 at General changes o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find process information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake for this information Location of the sample files The 2.2.5 CD-ROM came out before the book, and it contains the files on the third (repository) CD-ROM as a single gzipped tar file /xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz.

These files are an early version of what is described in the book. I'll put up some updated versions on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/ in the near future. Thanks to Frank McCormick for drawing this to my attention. Page 45: Preparing floppies for installation Replace the paragraph below the list of file names (in the middle of the page) with: The floppy set should contain the file bin.inf and the ones whose names start with bin. followed by two letters. These other files are all 240640 bytes long, except for the final one which is usually shorter. Use the MS-DOS COPY program to copy as many files as will fit onto each disk (5 or 6) until you've got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Copy each dis- tribution into subdirectory corresponding to the base name--for example, copy the bin distribution to the files A:\BIN\BIN.INF, A:\BIN\BIN.AA and so on. Page 80 and 81 In a couple of examples, the FreeBSD partition is shown as type 164. It should be 165. Thanks to an unknown contributer for this correction (sorry, I lost your name). Page 140 Just before the paragraph The super user add the following paragraph: If you do manage to lose the root password, all may not be lost. You'll have to reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter: # mount -u / mount root file system read/write # passwd root change the password for root Enter new password: Enter password again: # ^D enter ctrl-D to continue with startup Note that you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the system doesn't have the concept of user IDs. Page 160 Replace the text at the fourth bullet with the augmented text: The second-level boot locates the kernel, by default the file /kernel on the root file system, and loads it into memory. It prints the Boot: prompt at this point so that you can influence this choice--see the man page on page 579 for more details of what you can enter at this prompt. Page 197, first line The text of the first full sentence reads: The first name, up the the symbol, is the label. In fact, it should read: The first name, up to the | symbol, is the label. Page 208, middle of page The example shows the file name /dev/rst0 when using the Bourne shell, and /dev/nrst0 when using C shell and friends. This is inconsistent; use /dev/nrst0 with any shell if you want a non-rewinding tape, or /dev/rst0 if you want a rewinding tape. Thanks to Norman C Rice for pointing out this one. Page 283, ``Creating the source tree'' Add a third point to what you need to know: 3. Possibly, the date of the last update that you want to be included in the checkout. If you specify this date, cvs ignores any more recent updates. This option is often useful when somebody discovers a recently introduced bug in -CURRENT: you check out the modules as they were before the bug was introduced. You specify the date with the -D option, for example -D "10 December 1997". Page 285, after the second example. Add the text: If you need to check out an older version, for example if there are problems with the most recent version of -CURRENT, you could enter: # cvs co -D "10 December 1997" src/sys This command checks out the kernel sources as of 10 December 1997. Page 397 In the section ``Nicknames'', the example should read: www IN CNAME freebie ftp IN CNAME presto In other words, there should be a space between CNAME and the system name. Page 364, middle of page Change the text from: The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though they may be in lower case. to The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each end of the link. They must be written as shown, though newer versions of ppp allow you to write them in lower case. Thanks to Mark S. Reichman for this correction. Page 466, before the ps example Add another bullet: o Finally, you may find it convenient to let some other system handle all your mail delivery for you: you just send anything you can't deliver locally to this other host, which sendmail calls a smart host. This is particularly convenient if you send your mail with UUCP. To tell sendmail to use a smart host (in our case, mail.example.net), find the following line in sendmail.cf: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS Change it to: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmail.example.net Page 478, ``Running Apache'' The text describes the location of the server as /usr/local/www/server/httpd. This appears to depend on where you get the port from. Some people report the file being at the more likely location /usr/local/sbin/httpd (though note the directory sbin, not bin).

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. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the second edition (16 December 1997), please check the parallel posting or get the file at ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2. 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.

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.

The trouble is that most PCs can only boot from the first two disks (this is a BIOS limitation, not a FreeBSD limitation). This would translate to the Microsoft partition C: or D:. I'd suggest that you move the contents of your Microsoft partion D: to E:, and install FreeBSD on D:. Hopefully they're close enough to the same size not to be a problem.

You might consider http://www.mklinux.apple.com/ But I think I'd wait a little bit for http://www.rhapsodyos.com/ Supposedly it'll be released to the public in April. Or maybe that's the next developer release? Rhapsody is supposed to have real BSD guts and Mach kernel. http://www.macosrumors.com/ is another fun place to watch. Daily. I'm wondering how the "journalists" of the world are going to discount Rhapsody when it ships. Those who look to eagerly proclaim how NT is displacing Unix. When Rhapsody ships there may be more "Unix" users within a year running PowerMacs from Apple than Solaris, Irix, Linux, and FreeBSD combinded. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Although it isn't linux, it is BSD. I have it running on a 386sx-16 with 4megs of ram and 100 megs of diskspace, with a couple of utilities and about 30 megs of web page. You probably won't be able to fit to much extra stuff on there though (emacs, xwindows), but you can get most of the good stuff. But whatever, it is always worth a shot because it is fun.

I'd recommend rxvt instead, which does handle it. Look in the > ports/packages for it. No, the standard xterm does do colour. You need to set the TERM environment to xterm-color. There's also a resource which governs the use of colour. It should be enabled by default, but if you have trouble, check that you have this line in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm: *VT100*colorMode: on > rxvt is also half the memory size of xterm, so it's good even if you > don't need color.

X-Mailer: sbsgroup.com Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I found your website and noticed that you are employing the use of Meta tag keywords in order to associate your website with particular words or prases. We have been using keywords on our own accounting software website for several years now. Despite expensive programmers (and continued use of keyword meta tags), we still were not getting much traffic. Eventually, I personally took an active role in promoting our own internet presence and have learned and developed many tools and skills that have enabled us to finally turn a profit. First of all, I learned that when using one of the top search engines, our website never turned up within the first several pages unless you searched on our exact company name. Which of course meant that I was the only person finding our website on the search engines. My focus became maximizing our search engine exposure. Now my webpage comes up with as many as 5 out of the top 10 results when searching on most of our primary keywords. Our website traffic has increased dramatically with new customer leads every day. You can learn how we achieved this at http://www.webdigger.com and how we continually monitor our website's position on each of the top search engines. I've even included the results of our own search engine effectiveness to demonstrate the uncontrollable ups and downs we've seen. I hope this helps. Let me know if it doesn't and maybe I can offer some additional suggestions. Peter Roebuck Strategic Business Solutions Group, Inc.

I have two hard drives. The first contains Windows95, and has 2 partitions. The second one, the one in which i wish to install FreeBSD, is blank with no extra partitions. C: and E: are on the first hard drive and D: is the second hard drive. I am confused on what to do for installing the boot managers. Even after i hit F1 for the help i am still confused. I THINK i need to put my boot manager on both hard drives, but FreeBSD is only going to be on the second hard drive. If you could please mail me a step by step instruction on installing the boot manager so i can boot either windows95 off the first hard drive or FreeBSD off the second hard drive.

There is also mouse support on the console but this is not very important. For XFree86 (the default X server for freebsd), ps/2 mouse must be installed as "PS/2"--NOT logitech.

Message-Id: <01194494015897@comclin.net> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello Horse Lover... I have a story to tell... in fact I am writing a book titled; "Pets, Making Us Laugh". With all of the pets that I have had over the years, there have been many funny (some hysterical) happenings around the house. As I tell these stories to friends and family, I'm often told that I should write them down. Well, with all of this encouragement I've been prompted to write my book, and I've decided to share the space with other animal lovers around the world. If this letter reminds you of one of your own stories; and if you would like to share it with others; send me an email with your story. If we select it for inclusion in the book we'll be happy to give you full credit for telling us your story. As an added bonus, I will personally send you an autographed copy of the book, FREE of charge. Be sure to include your name as you would like it to appear in the book, your E-mail address, and don't forget your pet's name. We will also post some of these stories on a soon to be unveiled website; if you would like the address for our website, drop us an email... we'll be opening soon. Thanks for your time... I've got to go rescue my printer cable from Maggie. Sincerely, Charles P.S. I have had an overwhelming response to my pet book from a number of horse people; therefore I have decided to compile another book of stories... just for horses. Also if you have any ideas for a title.... I am open to suggestions. mailto:PetLetters@aol.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 14 18:01:02 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA02962 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 14 Feb 1998 18:01:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from jumpgate.cpn.org.au (slip5.tas.gov.au [147.109.237.15]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA02941 for ; Sat, 14 Feb 1998 18:00:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from cpn@dpac.tas.gov.au) Received: from jumpgate.cpn.org.au (jumpgate.cpn.org.au [172.16.1.1]) by jumpgate.cpn.org.au (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id MAA02491; Sun, 15 Feb 1998 12:58:53 +1100 (EST) (envelope-from cpn@dpac.tas.gov.au) Date: Sun, 15 Feb 1998 12:58:52 +1100 (EST) From: Carey Nairn X-Sender: cpn@jumpgate.cpn.org.au To: Phusion cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Telnetd hanging In-Reply-To: <3.0.2.32.19980214181923.006a6ddc@thuntek.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG What shell are you using? some shells (such as tcsh) have an auto-logout feature.

At this time, there's one big kernel lock, a few small kernel locks, and no kernel threading, so SMP is not a big win for a system that does a lot of system calls or for an application that is multithreaded. Having said that, I'm running SMP, and I have no major complaints about performance. FreeBSD-current has had some stability problems since around Christmas, so if you want to install it, you should be reading the FreeBSD-current mailing list. Also, you shouldn't be sending HTML messages to this list.

To be fair, this is the proverbial double-edged sword. The purpose of the Linux distribution is to integrate things nicely. And to be fair, Debian in particular has things very well integrated and has a package system quite superior to FreeBSD. OTOH, FreeBSD has a good edge on Slackware in most everything :-) Furthermore, FreeBSD uses components from various sources -- Perl from Larry Wall, gcc from the FSF, libc from BSD, etc. One mistake people often make is comparing "Linux" to something else. This is rarely what people mean to do; a more accurate comparison would be Debian vs. FreeBSD or RedHat vs. FreeBSD. The ONLY time when a "Linux vs FreeBSD" comparison is valid is when discussing the kernel itself, and even then it is not always valid. Please, let's focus on the facts, shall we? As somebody that has extensive experience with Debian GNU/Linux and a good deal of experience with FreeBSD, here are my general thoughts: FreeBSD's advantages: * Good laptop support. Works on a wider variety of laptops than Linux. * A tighter defafult configuration, security-wise. * Console screen savers better than standard "black screen" * Nice /etc/rc.conf system. Debian cannot practically use such a thing because of the large number of packages that can configure themselves for use. * Good for anyone using a BSD-ish system like BSDi * Kernel releases are always stable * Kernel source under CVS * make world capability * More stable (meaning changes less frequently, and somewhat better reliability) networking code * Live filesystem CD available * Managed by small development team. * A steady commercial backer. * Helpful user community. Debian advantages: * Many packages come with configuration tools * Many more bundled packages. The ENTIRE system is in package form, not just the add-ons. The package manager is Debian's largest benefit and something that really is unmatched by anything else. The package system yields the following benefits: + Easy upgrades, usually under 15 mins and not requiring any reboot + Easy configuration of a set of machines identically + Documentation is in a well-defined standard location + A source package format superior to FreEBSD's, though notably lacking make world. * Faster networking code * Support for more hardware. However, some of the very new drivers are sometimes in beta stage. * More documentation. * Better cooperation with non-BSD OSs. * Tighter integration. Many of the packages I have found contain bugs. For instance, dependencies on non-existant packages, files placed in incorrect locations, looking in the wrong place for files, etc. * Public bug-tracking system for all packages. * Standardized and logical filesystem layout * Helpful and polite user community. You wouldn't believe how many FreeBSD users criticize me for using both FreeBSD and Linux. I have been flamed by FreeBSD'ers because I use Linux as well... I have never been flamed by a Linux user for using FreeBSD as well. * Console mouse support that doesn't conflict with X. So... to sum it all up. Neither is better. It depends on your needs. If you have dozens of machines to admin, and are short on admin resources, then Debian is your obvious choice. If you want something that is rock-solid and developed like a commercial OS, FreeBSD is the choice. If you want a progressive system, often the first with new features, Debian is better. If you want top-notch multitasking performance under stress, FreeBSD is better. It all depends. Either system will perform quite well in just about any circumstance. Often, the difference between the two is minor. IMHO, the only exception to this is Debian's package management system, which is far superior to FreeBSD's. However, there's nothing keeping FreeBSD from using that system too...

Well, you could consider using FreeBSD to run an Internet site. A lot of people do, including Yahoo!

Anything that touches a lot of inodes. This includes rm -f's, compiles, etc. However, I wouldn't really give Linux an edge here since it is just an issue of semantics -- what is the default. Just because it isn't enabled in FreeBSD by default doesn't mean that FreeBSD should be faulted for it. > With some risk one can mount a FreeBSD Fast File System with an async > option but then the dirty buffers containing critical data will be flushed > only in 30 second intervals.

You could set FreeBSD's default of 30 seconds down to 5 seconds or set Linux's default of 5 seconds up to 30. On my laptop, when testing either OS, I set it to an hour. I also set the noatime option in both systems. This let the hard drive spin down a lot more. And since a laptop has a battery, and both kernels are quite solid, I have no stability problems by doing that. > On the other hand I found the sequential writes and (much more important) > reads of larger files are about 30%..50% faster with FreeBSD and the FFS.

I prefer the approach of Debian to that of FreeBSD. However, as I said in a different message, you cannot in cases like this compare Linux directly to FreeBSD. For instance, Unifix Linux is certified POSIX compliant, etc. John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 14 21:09:29 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA26905 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 14 Feb 1998 21:09:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ns2.cetlink.net (root@ns2.cetlink.net [209.54.54.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA26883 for ; Sat, 14 Feb 1998 21:09:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jak@cetlink.net) Received: from exit1.i485.net (ts1-cltnc-24.cetlink.net [209.54.58.24]) by ns2.cetlink.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id AAA12279; Sun, 15 Feb 1998 00:09:02 -0500 (EST) From: jak@cetlink.net (John Kelly) To: John Goerzen Cc: John Kenagy , Vincent Defert , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD vs Linux Date: Sun, 15 Feb 1998 06:09:33 GMT Message-ID: <34e6864b.6806251@mail.cetlink.net> References: In-Reply-To: X-Mailer: Forte Agent 1.01/16.397 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by hub.freebsd.org id VAA26889 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Sat, 14 Feb 1998 22:21:46 -0600 (CST), John Goerzen wrote: > * Many more bundled packages.

While I can't speak for BSDI 3.0 since we dumped it at 2.whatever.it.was, the main difference I saw was that many of the FreeBSD commands had many more options than their BSDI counterparts. Every BSDI binary that we attempted to run on FreeBSD ran, though we did have to copy some of the shared libraries. Our password files were originally from BSDI so we had to compile FreeBSD to handle the 16 character usernames. When we tried to alias an IP from a different Class C then the primary address, on several different Ethernet cards in several different BSDI machines, every one of them would loose all their routes and go incommunicado within 5 to 15 minutes. We've since had a FreeBSD box happily live on two Class Cs with one NIC for 233 days. It probably would have been over 250 by now but I had to add some hardware in that box. > Where do Linux and Red Hat Linux figure in the equation. I had a Slackware box set up for about a month to 'borrow' some driver code. Coming from a BSD background, it's "different". Not one frown was seen in the NOC the day I put a FreeBSD boot disk into that box. :) > We are an ISP and are primarily looking for something to test websites and > scripts.

This ties in with just about every report I've heard about Linux, though I have no personal experience in the area. I also find it hard to believe that Linux should be able to beat Solaris 2 in this area.

Here are the results I got on trying to make Oracle 7.3.2 for SCO run on FreeBSD: 1) I first tried with Oracle's Workgroup Server (which includes the 7.3.2 RDBMS, SQL*PLUS, SQL*NET ver 2.0 and the WebServer among other things), no luck, the installation program expected an SCO like enviroment (ie. it expected to find SCO's administrative commands to create users and groups and the like) 2) Then I installed 7.3.2 (not the Workgroup server Edition) on an SCO OpenServer 5.04 machine with all the tools I needed, I did a shutdown on the RDBMS and made a backup of it on tape, then took the tape to my FreeBSD 2.2.5 system and tried to startup the RDBMS. (this particular FreeBSD Instalation had already configured the IBCS2 emulator and the SYSV stuff Oracle uses: Shared Memory and Semaphores). Unfortunately the RDBMS refused to startup, claiming it could not allocate shared memory. Oracle includes a program called 'tstshm' which is used to test the shared memory capabilities of a given machine, I tried it on my FreeBSD box and discovered that the program returns a negative number for the amount of shared memory reserved (that *might* explain why the RDBMS wouldn't start!). I tried to tweak with the shared memory settings on the Kernel config file (which unfortunantely seem to be undocumented!) with no luck. 3) Finally, I tried to use the client applications (such as SQL*PLUS, the SQL interpreter) and everytime I started them up they complained about not being able to find the file /dev/socksys, this seems (to me at least!) to point to the fact that SCO's TCP libraries (the original code was designed by Latchman Associates I think..) implement socket calls through a pseudo-device called socksys. In any case the client tools would not connect to the RDBMS working on a remote machine (despite the fact that the SQL*NET TCP config file was properly set up). So my attempts to get Oracle running on FreeBSD have not been very succesful, if anybody got an idea on where I screwed up I would appreciate a line...

My only Linux experience is with MkLinux which is RedHat based. It comes with a lot more packages pre-installed (i.e. lesstif, xpm, less, tcsh, libtiff, etc.), but there are often problems with dependency and lib errors. I like the way FreeBSD has one source for updates and source code. I know the Linux flavors have their own home, but there's always the time you have to go to a sunsite mirror and get the new libc or something like that. FreeBSD is one-stop shopping. The only advantage I can see to Linux (RedHat Linux to be fair) is that it's UN*X for the Windows 95 user. Everything is in one big package, and a lot of the workings are hidden from the user.

A few months late, but no big deal... To avoid buying a second modem, and until I am network-savvy enough, I want to set up a parallel cable link between the two boxes. I don't care if it is slow for the time being. 50k/sec is plenty fast to allow rlogin and sharing of my ppp link to the Real world. dmesg finds the following on both platforms: lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa What's next? What lines do I put into the configuration files in /etc? And then, what kind of cable do I plug between lpt0 and lpt0? Since my new 6x86 platform is not part of the larger net, can I assign my local IP designation? (Like 127.0.0.02) I would be much obliged for any detailed help here, so thanks in advance! gary kline -- Gary D.

What if they have one already? We need to understand that most of the world still uses Microsoft. They buy their hardware based on whether they can use it with Microsoft. Often the hardware is supplied. 9 times out of 10, if somebody wants to buy a winmodem and finds that it doesn't work with FreeBSD, they'll ditch FreeBSD, not the winmodem. Having said that, of course I agree with you. Winmodems are junk. But that's not the issue, and I maintain that it *is* possible to get them to work with FreeBSD. Recall that for a long time we took a similar stance on ATAPI CD-ROMs. Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 14 23:49:44 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA16589 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 14 Feb 1998 23:49:44 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ns1.imagecomp.com (ns1.imagecomp.com [206.13.125.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id XAA16584 for ; Sat, 14 Feb 1998 23:49:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from hrothgar@hrothgar.com) Received: from hrothgar.com (unverified [208.14.174.55]) by ns1.imagecomp.com (EMWAC SMTPRS 0.83) with SMTP id ; Sat, 14 Feb 1998 23:47:59 -0800 Message-ID: <34E69E6E.5DA474A9@hrothgar.com> Date: Sat, 14 Feb 1998 23:51:11 -0800 From: hrothgar Reply-To: hrothgar@hrothgar.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Hardware Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a friend who is a Unix programmer who is going to set up a machine I am purchasing with FreeBSD that claims that there are configuration problems with MMX machines.

There are a *lot* more problems with a dual Pentium Pro than a single Pentium MMX. That's because of the multiprocessor, not because of the MMX. As far as I know, there are no FreeBSD-specific problems with any Intel processor.
