As the application has to read/write in a shared memory for its standard input/input it is impossible to use standard programs. I'm sure that FreeBSD network is more reliable than Interactive Unix one and I would like to replace this absurd mechanism by an incoming network connection to the X25 box through a socket and 32 outgoing connections to the clients. That's why I need about 35 open sockets for this process and about 16 normal files. each client would have at least one open socket and up to 20 open files Is it possible to do that with FreeBSD 2.0 For 256 users I would need 800 sockets 5000 open files 800 processes Thanks for your help ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Didier Derny didier@aida.remcomp.fr ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 26 03:58:53 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id DAA14110 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 26 Mar 1995 03:58:53 -0800 Received: from arl-img-4.compuserve.com (arl-img-4.compuserve.com [198.4.7.4]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id DAA14104 for ; Sun, 26 Mar 1995 03:58:51 -0800 Received: by arl-img-4.compuserve.com (8.6.10/5.941228sam) id GAA10557; Sun, 26 Mar 1995 06:58:11 -0500 Date: 26 Mar 95 06:57:18 EST From: Tom Stevelt <70312.2134@compuserve.com> To: sysop Subject: Newer IDE Mitsumi CD drives Message-ID: <950326115718_70312.2134_CHV47-1@CompuServe.COM> Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Does FreeBSD 4.4 recognize the newer 4x speed Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM?

I wasn't able to get it to work by just placing it in the right directory, I had to set the XKEYSYMDB environment variable. Make sure that you set that, and that you start netscape from a shell that has it defined. (ie: I cannot start netscape from my fvwm root window menu because it doesn't read my .cshrc (BTW, anyone know how to fix this? :-))) Jeff -- Jeff Hoffman -- jeffh@cybernetics.net ------------------------------------- "A man facing the light looks not into sorrow, but to to the future...always."

I am the person who originated this question, so let me follow it up. I originally need libXpm.so.3.4 to run some X-window-managers. Steve Passe ( credit where credit is due) pointed me towards the -current port for XPM, so I grabbed xpm-3.4e.tar.gz from FreeBSD-current/ports... Oddly enuough, after the following the make and make instructions (per README file), my libXpm.so file was installed as libXpm.so.4.5... I did a symlink from libXpm.so.3.4 to the newly instaed libXpm.so.4.5 and my new x-games, piewm, ctwm, olvwm, et al, ran ok -- or so I hope. [DEVELOPMENT RELATED QUESTION] BTW, I'm still looking for a way to tweak the MAXIMUM # of file descriptors per process (_SC_MAX_OPEN) from 64 to something like 256, at least. I am not a subcriber to the development groups, and I would like to get your feed back before I hit the Usenet. You gals/guys are great! I got out of a few tight spots thankx to you guys.

I tried both the NCSA & netscape versions, they are radically different in size, and neither fixes this problem: Environment: mosaic 2.5 compiled & run on 2.0-950322-SNAP run mosaic, select "open" dialogue button, type in some text, then try to delete a character. neither nor nor work for chars preceeding cursor. you can use arrow keys to backup and then delete the char under the cursor with or , has no effect. I suspect this has to do with that "feature" about the new mapping of these chars that was so widely discussed awhile ago... I am up to my armpits with other problems right now, will check it out later if no one else beats me to it.

(both, a relay site as well as client site). FreeBSD uses Taylor UUCP, its pretty cool. I supports standard UUCP configuration files, but its own configuration files are much easier to use and more readable. They are described in detail in the uucp info files. These info files were left out of the 2.0 release, but are part of the latest SNAP. Enclosed are my configuration files (/etc/uucp/*), which should give you an start. There is one strange thing about these files, they are setup for two modems on two serial ports, but both modems use the same phone line. This is accomplished by forcing them to use the same lock file. In addition to the /etc/uucp files, you need to set up a crontab entry to do the polling. Here is mine: # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (uucp-cron installed on Sat Dec 17 18:29:54 1994) # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.1.1.1 1994/08/27 13:43:04 jkh Exp $) # # UUCP crontab # # # Call all systems with waiting jobs once an hour at 19 minutes past # 19 * * * * /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico -r1 # # Set up to poll systems # 0 * * * * touch /var/spool/uucp/scruz/C./C.A0000 #0 * * * * touch /var/spool/uucp/gain/C./C.A0000 0 * * * * touch /var/spool/uucp/sco/C./C.A0000 # # Cycle log files. # #/usr/bin/savelog /usr/spool/uucp/Log begin 644 uucp.tar.gz M'XL(",CI=2\"`W5U8W`N=&%R`.U;6W/;N`[.LWX%QYGI)J>U+>IB)YW)0S9) M=SMM+F,[[9Y.7AB)CK6112\IU75__0%(W>PX2?=T['9WQ(=8$D&0!/`!(*1D M63#K[FRV$<_N^S[9(810SUOZS9M-B-]W?;?G]6VXIK;CNCO$W]E"RU3*)"$[ M4R;OPR?H`B'BG7]?RU#_`8LWN3=JVSU0ZZ/ZISVGU+]/77A`J=O?(7:C_XVW M73*:<#(6A$]>0K-,NR=IKVL^$_Y3&_C=).&+%X0_A?P7T=_U[?

I setup a shell script that gets invoked by different names. The script uses that name to take on a unique personality, ie, its own 'home' directory 'home page' etc. This allows you to keep separate hot-lists and histories, as well as launch multiple copies simultaniously. While that globe is spinning you can use another for surfing elsewhere... Note that you can use unique exports/args for each, in your case XKEYSYMDB. ############################################################################## # Here are things from my .fvwmrc, # change all instances of "HOME" as appropriate: # Provides a list of Mosaics Popup "Mosaic-Popup" Title "Mosaic" Exec "Red mosaic" exec /usr/HOME/Mmosaic/bin/rmosaic & Exec "Green mosaic" exec /usr/HOME/Mmosaic/bin/gmosaic & Exec "Blue mosaic" exec /usr/HOME/Mmosaic/bin/bmosaic & EndPopup ... # This menu will fire up some very common utilities Popup "Utilities" Title "Utilities" ...

I have the choice of using an old PC with a serial line, and write some code to the PC; or, I can get a terminal and hook it to the serial line of a FreeBSD system, and either putting the mouse on a separate line, or in ''parallel'' with the terminal (a bit of electronics doesn't scare me; however, speed might need to be reduced) . At this point, I would need some code which allows me to track the mouse, and report actions to the application program. I think such a thing might be of more general use than for my application, so I was wondering if something was already written for this purpose, or if there was any source available (e.g. the mouse driver code ?) to help in the work.

The motherboard is a 486DX280 with 16Meg of RAM. I am running the 950213 snap shot of 2.0 RELEASE. My problem is that I am trying to install a Conner CFA850 850MB hard drive. (Drive geometry: 1652/16/63). I have tried both the manual approach and using sysinstall. Sysinstall runs, allows me to FDISK, DISKLABEL do the various assigns etc, but when I select (P)roceed, it exits with no message at all. This happens when I use it with the system in multi-user mode. If I boot it off the floppy, it gets the drive geometry wrong (1023/16/63) and refuses to belive me when I correct it (it keeps going back to 1023/16/63) My attempts to install it manually by running fdisk/disklabel/newfs have met with even less success. Which ever method I use though, the results are the same. 1) The drive will happily mount and dismount, without complaints 2) On rebooting, fsck fails with a variety of errors, usually complaining about bad magic numbers or can't read sectors or the like. 3) before rebooting, it is stable for a while, but writing a few files of > 500K to the device provokes a panic complaining about some info being mangled. HELP! I am not sure what else to try, suggestions would be very welcome!

It did turn out to be caused by one of my drives. Unfortunately, it's one of the SCSI drives that I would prefer not to remove from the system. Q. Will I ever be able to use this drive? Q. If I install the system on another drive and rebuild the kernel, will I be able to use the drive? Q. If not, would getting one of the SNAPs (e.g. 2.0-950322-SNAP) fix the problem?

If the filesystem is reasonably quesient (sp?) then you won't have any problems at all ( with the possible exception of /tmp and /var files ). "More specifically: if files/directories get deleted after dump has made its dump table?" It will create a mildly inconsistent dump image but not an unusable dump image. ( Depends upon the directories and files you delete, of course. ) In any case, if you are restoring your 'root' filesystem from standalone mode ( and this is a topic I'd like to see discussed more - disaster recovery procedures for FreeBSD, the making of standalone diskettes and the like ) you'll be wantin' to fcsk it afterwards, to clear up any last bits of inconsistency and make the data structure ( if only for a few sweet minutes ) pristine, and untainted by the passage of data ... This is based upon administering thousands of BSD dumps over ten years of different sites, media, block sizes and densities ... have to note that there are some things about FreeBSd that are a little wierd ( like ft(1) ) that make behaviors a little hard to predict.

Part of the X installation should be to create a /usr/lib/X11 symlink to point to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. As far as the key translations are concerned, "internationalized" apps like NetScape will attempt to use the key translations relative to the /usr/lib/X11 directory as well. This is further complicated by a change in locale semantics from the X11R5 to X11R6, such that any apps compiled with R5 will require the R5 locale information be provided in the R6 directory.

Then follow the directions for setting your LOCALE environment variable correctly and adding X11R5 local information to an X11R6 installation (XFree86 3.x).

Here is what the Fax stated: This message originated in Tucson. If you receive a mail message with a subject of "GOOD TIMES", do the following: 1 - DO NOT READ THE MESSAGE ************************************** 2 - Write down the name/Email address of the person who sent you the message and contact TC/Assist as soon as possible. 3 - DELETE THE MESSAGE IMMEDIATELY !!!!!!! ******************************************************** The virus originated from America Online and is propagated through the Internet. The FCC recently released a warning concerning a matter of major importance to any regular user of the Internet. Apparently, a new computer virus has been engineered by a user of America Online that is unparalleled in its destructive capability. Other more well known viruses such as Stoned, Airwolf, and Michaelangelo pale in comparison to the prospects of the newest creation by a warped mentality. What makes this virus so terrifying, said the FCC, is the fact that no program needs to be exchanged for a new computer to be infected. It can be spread through the existing Email systems of the Internet. Once a computer is infected, one of several things can happen. If the computer contains a hard drive, it will most likely be destroyed. If the program is not stopped, the computer's processor will be placed in an Nth-complexity infinite binary loop, which can severely damage the processor if left running that way for to long. Unfortunately, most novice computer users will not realize what is happening until it is to late! Luckily, there is one sure means of detecting what is now known as the "GOOD TIMES" virus. It always travels to new computers the same way - in a text Email message with the subject line reading simply "GOOD TIMES". Avoiding infection is easy once the file has been received by - NOT READING IT! The act of loading the file into the mail server's ASCII buffer causes the "GOOD TIMES" mainline program to initialize and execute. The program is highly intelligent - it will send copies of itself to everyone whose Email address is contained in a received-mail file, if it can find one. It will then proceed to trash the computer it is running on. The bottom line here is - if you receive a file with the subject line "GOOD TIMES", delete it.

This program must rely on certain characteristics of PC-mailer programs, but I can't see any way it could create a virus on a Uni box.

How about booting from a floppy, and then doing a restore of your partition table and disklabel from there. After newfs'ing your FS's, you should be able to restore from your tape backup. (Not all of the steps need to be run, but it should be possible to run them all) I built something like this when I did my 1.1.5 -> 2.0 upgrade. I think the current fixit floppy contains most of what is needed for this, although it would be nice for the installation program to ask you if you want to create a fixit floppy at install time. If it were wanted, the install program would then prompt you for a new floppy, format it, newfs and disklabel it to make it bootable, and then dump a bunch of crunched/gzipped binaries onto it along with a copy of your partition, disklabel, and kernel. SCO does something similar to this at install time, and it's been a life-saver a couple of times. BTW - I'm not suggesting that anyone but me would do this, but if something like this were done I *think* it would be incredibly helpful if someone else felt like doing it. It should be fairly trivial to do, but it would require *MORE* disk space and/or another floppy completely that would need to be 'setup' once the install was complete. From a CD this would be a very easy thing to do. Is this interesting to anyone?

I would guess that message comes from your BIOS, and not from FreeBSD - but I could be mistaken. I would think that if FreeBSD detected an error of this sort, it'd force a panic. > Do you know of a real(!) good hardware (memory) testing utility, maybe under > dos? The only decent memory testers I've seen are dedicated SIMM testers - they are not cheap, and even so they don't detect all problems. Check your "CMOS setup" against the manufacturer's recommended settings. You might also try swapping out some of RAM to try and isolate the problem.

It would be great if I could make this the default behaviour also (it's not an X resource is it?). If I have to modify the source tree that is also acceptable. Thanks for any help.

'bread' is 'block read', IE, 'go read a block of data from a physical device'. Based upon the bizzare numbers, I have to wonder if you have a very large disk-sized filesystem. The filesystem itself has been enhanced quite a bit over the decades since the Berkeley Fast File System was first introduced and is capable of, what, gigabyte sizes, with terabyte ranges just around the corner ( doubling the number of bits allocated to the inode, perhaps modification to incorporate Sun's vnode concept as well, although I'm not privy to these details ) but I'm not sure if dump(8) and restore(8) have received similar attention. << climbing up on soapbox >> Speaking as as a professional systems administrator, I'd like to point out that while there is a great deal of satisfaction in having a file- -system that spans an entire disk, there are some hidden 'gotchas'. Consider backups, to start. Such a filesystem runs the risk of occupying multiple tapes. The more tapes in the backup, the longer it takes to back up ... and the longer it takes to restore. In a production environment, where a network and multiple tape devices may be available, it is not un- -reasonable to suggest splitting the disk into several filesystems which could be restored in parallel - reducing downtime dramatically. Damage to the disk is another factor to consider. Let's pretend another large earthquake has occurred, and your hard drive got bumped and now has a few bad blocks. Those few bad blocks may be enough to render the entire filesystem inaccessible ... even though the rest of the disk is perfectly readable and writeable. If multiple filesystems were used instead the hit would be a smaller one, and, barring the destruction of a critical file- -system, once again, downtime is minimized. One last useful tip. Sizing partitions. Try for modular sizing, so that you can shuffle filesystems about when these things happen. Try splitting the disk into four equal filesystems, for instance. ( Obviously this doesn't apply to the drive containing the /root, swap, /usr filesystems. ) This is a win in a lot of ways ... it's easy for you to maintain, allows you to give separate development projects separate partitions so that they don't have to fight with each other for disk space, and spreads your eggs across several baskets. << climbing off soapbox >> A good way to see if it is dump(8), or the filesystem, is to try dd(1) : % /usr/bin/su - Password: # dd if=/dev/rsd1h of=/dev/null ( If you want it to go faster use a bs=NNNb arguement to dd(1) based on the geometry of the disk, IE, something that evaluates to an entire track or something that evaluates to an entire cylinder. If none of this makes sense you probably don't want to try it until you've asked a few more questions. ) < kernel messages omitted > I suspect this is a symptom of the problem and not the actual cause.

It is a farse. Actually, you could make a MIME reader do this, but the image to do it would end up being rather specific to a reader type. I wrote a test case once to see if I could do it (same thing for a UNIX virus). No, you can't have the sources. 8-). I haven't looked at the AOL stuff closely enough yet (I *do* want to see if I can decipher their line protocol and write my own client and maybe a server that can take advantage of the client software available in most magazines these days...). I suspect that with the animations and crap that AOL has, you *might* be able to do it. If you did it this way, it's highly unlikely that the code it would execute would be anything other than p-code of some kind, so the claims about what it supposedly does to "cook the machine" are most likely false. Such a thing would really be a worm, not a virus. There was a worm like this for real several years ago that affected the IBM PROFS mail system. It worked because the environment was the same on all the target hosts. As such, it's *extremely* unlikely to hit UNIX users, even if AOL is runing straight MIME and you as a UNIX (or UNIX clone) user are also running MIME.

Basically, the free space you see is still in the DOS partition, and so it is unusable. If you can't (or don't want to) repartition and lose the DOS contents of the drive, you should download (is it on the CDROM?) the DOS program "fips" to free up the unused portion of the disk for use by FreeBSD. The "fips" program can repartition a live disk without breaking it. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

My problem is that I am starting an Internet Provider site, and need to bundle many hardrives on a computer for my users home drives. i would have to have many NFS volumes for this (Currently running on a SS20).

Hey, if your MIME reader does Postscript, people can probably do some pretty nasty stuff to you. If I remember my Postscript well, these interpreters have some "file manipulation commands" which allow you to open files for writing for instance.

If I run newfs on it, that also works, fsck does too. I am then able to mount the drive. However, if I then umount the drive and reboot, the fsck fails with "BAD MAGIC NUMBER", and the drive is effectively trashed. The fault does not lie with the drive since I was able to install FreeBSD with no problem onto the drive with the drive in a machine by itself. Please, I would appreciate a few suggestions...

So, you are in the same case as I: I installed 2.0 RELEASE and it worked fine. However, from SNAPSHOT 950210 onwards, the following happens: I enter the boot/install disk, the system begins booting, reading the disk and so on. Everything seems to be going OK, except for a "minor" detail: I cannot see anything in the screen. Only the cursor goes from blinking to steady a few seconds after boot. I don't know the reason yet, but I managed to solve that: just install the boot blocks from 2.0 RELEASE on the install disk and you will see things again. I've done that this morning, as I wanted to test 950322-SNAP, and it worked! To do that, you must have a 2.0 system running already, of course :-). NOTE: the cursor still goes from blinking to steady, just when the kernel has been loaded and the memory test begins, and the screen seems to be in a graphic mode instead of a text mode (because text display is slower than usual). But at least, you see the display :-) Anyone has a better solution than this one?

You escape out of kermit terminal mode and tell it to quit. -The kernel detects that there are 0 processes with open file descriptors to the modem device, so it toggles a modem control line, signalling the modem to hang up. You then start up ppp, but by that time the damage has been done -- the phone has been hung up. A quick fix would be to suspend the kermit process once you get out of terminal mode (ala control-z), then start up pppd, then kill the suspended kermit -- keeping the device reference count above 1 at all times.

Bruce needs to handle this one. The SCSI sense code is probably coming back with an (invalid) size of 0; this was recently discussed on the list, but I didn't pay much attention to it -- I'm not sure if the latest SNAP will fix this or if you will need 2.1 when it comes out or what. You could probably manually do it, but the recent tool changes have made me unsure as to exactly what you would have to do to get it to work.

I have the same problem here. I was going to post the same message. I tried even changing all of the permissions rwx (which is dangerous I think), and still no luck... I installed the new snap release by doing the following. Can someone please tell me if it was the correct thing to do? 1) Ftped the bindist to /usr/temp 2) Ftped the fixit floppy to a msdos directory 3) Used rawrite in DOS to make the Fixit floppy 4) Booted up FreeBSD, rename /kernel to /kernel-oldsnap 5) Copied the kernel from the fixit floppy to / 6) Copied the /etc/master.passwd and /etc/passwd files to another directory 7) cd /stand and used ./bininst to install the bindist from /usr/temp 8) Copy the old master.passwd and passwd back to /etc. 9) reboot 10) redo all the network stuff again. (I also get some sort of can't bind error... Is that normal when the PPP link is not up yet?) I have also recompiled the kernel for more PPP and SLIP devices, but the problems are still there. One other observation about the new snap release: I noticed that the boot messages say that I have two hard drives (which are both are IDE) that can handle multi-block transfers... Uhmmm... I think only one of them can do it. The other one (the Maxtor 7120AT - 130MB) can not as far as I can tell, and so I have seen a few interrupt timeout errors on it. Thanks in advance for any help...

Check your SCSI bus termination. Since you're using both internal and external devices, you should make sure that the last external and last internal devices are terminated. There should be no termination in place on the controller.

The bind error comes up because syslogd is run in /etc/rc before the network is started. you could move it to after /etc/nestart is run but this has risks too.

Probably a ``feature'' in the deskjet, not the printcap. The deskjet (I know - I have a 500 also :-) ) is DOS orientated, and needs as a line-feed char, FreeBSD just sends . This means the carriage never returns to the left hand side, and any text gradually walks off the right hand side of the page. The solution is to install `apsfilter', which is a shell script (not part of the system yet), which corrects the output from the lpd to match the deskjet's broken worldiew. My /etc/printcap reads: # @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 lp|djet500|local line printer:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:sf:\ :if=/usr/local/bin/apsfilter:df=/usr/local/bin/apsfilter: If you want the filter, drop me a line.

But I'm now at another employer. Here we have lots of DOS/Windows machines and I'm setting up the first two UNIX machines (FreeBSD 2.0 SNAP 2-2). These machines have to provide Internet access both for ourselfs and for customers (dialup SLIP). I have to make lots of web-pages using information out of a database. I do this with a database under Microsoft Access on the LAN. I generate the pages (appr. 2000) overnight and transfer them to the UNIX machines. What I really want is to get the WWW get the data online (via CGI-scripts). To get this to work I have to get a database-engine that runs under FreeBSD or Windows. But I must be able to update and retrieve data from the FreeBSD machines AND the Windows-machines. So I'm really looking for a database-engine on one of the two platforms with SQL clients on both platforms. Any suggestions???

Well, I've used MS Access (I was a database programmer for a while), but always using native DB's, never used the SQL option EVER. However, if you load the SQL access kit that comes with Access (ODBC?), it should allow you to access the database on a FreeBSD box (assuming they can agree on the SQL syntax :-( ) The problem than is that you have to re-write your DB in Postgres. After using Access for a long time I realise that will not be a nice task :-( Has anyone ever used Samba (or similar) to access the Microsoft SQL server system running on a PC from FreeBSD? That (in theory) should be possible also... although it might take a bit of work re-writing or adding bits onto Samba.

I have been following the readme for XFree86-3.1 and have had several difficulties. The 1st real problem is that modifying the login and profile files as suggested does not result in the path variable being set up correctly. A kluge has temporarily addressed this. Secondly running xdm manually gave me a bunch of errors of the type "failed to connect to socket at port 177", etc. I eventually concluded that this is what one might expect if the XServer had not been configured (as it had not). Thirdly, and this is where I am stuck, is that I cannot get my mouse device type of COM port set up. I am using COM3 I think ther is a reasom for this), but only have tty00 & tty01 defined. I tried creating (MAKEDEV) tty02, but have had no luck configuring this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Mitchell.

This will work; I've done it with the CERN daemon before, though it requires FreeBSD or something like it to work properly because of the multiple address issue. The NCSA daemon supports this without changes; there was a recent (~1 month ago) article in the comp.infosystems.www.providers group. Sorry, I didn't save it. It had to do with playing bind tricks, not modifying the daemon. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

As Garrett Wollman wrote, you can run multiple httpd's bound to specific interface addresses. There's a good explanation of the procedure and pointers to patches for NCSA and CERN servers at http://www.thesphere.com/~dlp/TwoServers/ Both methods mentioned by the above page (adding a second IP address to an interface with the ifconfig "alias" option, and setting additional addresses on spare SLIP or PP interfaces) should work on FreeBSD, but I haven't tried yet. I'm glad your query prompted me to find the URL, since I may soon have the opportuntity to implement multiple servers under FreeBSD. > Thanks, > > Paul Hope this helps, Guy Guy Helmer, Dakota State University Computing Services - ghelmer@alpha.dsu.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 30 10:41:02 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id KAA05420 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 30 Mar 1995 10:41:02 -0800 Received: from fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov (fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov [137.75.131.171]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id KAA05412 for ; Thu, 30 Mar 1995 10:40:56 -0800 Received: by fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov (5.57/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA12550; Thu, 30 Mar 95 18:40:30 GMT Received: by junco.fsl.noaa.gov (1.38.193.4/SMI-4.1 (1.38.193.4)) id AA26982; Thu, 30 Mar 1995 11:40:24 -0700 Date: Thu, 30 Mar 1995 11:40:24 -0700 From: kelly@fsl.noaa.gov (Sean Kelly) Message-Id: <9503301840.AA26982@junco.fsl.noaa.gov> To: 0006619934@mcimail.com Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <11950330145811/0006619934PK3EM@MCIMAIL.COM> (message from Mitchell Ackerman on Thu, 30 Mar 95 09:58 EST) Subject: Re: X Installation Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >>>>> "Mitchell" == Mitchell Ackerman <0006619934@mcimail.com> writes: Mitchell> It would not be an exageration to say that I am having a Mitchell> very difficult time getting X Windows Installed.

Probably, but xdm is itself quite a headache to configure. I've attached to the bottom of this file the contents of my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm directory. It's got xdm files configured in such a way that it works on my FreeBSD host. You also just need to add this line to /etc/ttys: ttyv4 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure And then do `kill -1 1' to get init to reread the config files.

When you boot up, does FreeBSD detect three different serial ports? You can find this out by typing dmesg | grep ^sio You should see entries for sio0, sio1, and sio2. If there's no sio2, then COM3 won't be usable. What you need to do is tell FreeBSD what the IRQ and port address of your sio2 port is. If it is showing up, then the problem might be in the serial communication between the mouse and XFree86. What kind of mouse is it? Anyway, here are the xdm files. This is a uuencoded, gzip'd tar file. To extract, save this message to a file. Then type cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm tar xzvf file This will overwrite your existing config files, so you might want to back them up. ---- begin 644 xdm.tar.gz M'XL("`7Z>B\``WAD;2YT87(`[5M[<]NX$<^_XJ?`Q;F+[9H22;ULI;V9Q'E.

The ethernet card seems to be correctly configured ie its port and irq are unique. Does anybody recognise these symptoms? I can't use any later snap beacause they boot blind for some reason and then freeze the system.

My box is *well* setup with 1.8GB hard-drive and I recently was given a 4MM 2GB dat drive for backups. ;-) Craig is having problems with it on his box, and I thought it might be related to the graphics card but you think it's a mouse driver problem. The funny thing is that the mouse moves correctly and such. Can you send him (craig@dynalab.cs.montana.edu) your experiences and what you did? I'd appreciate, and you can CC me with it so I can see his response and such. Thanks!

I had the same problem, i.e. I could not setup my mouse because there wasn't any documentation for it. If your mouse attached to a serial port, sio? (where ? is 0-0) then it's device file is /dev/tty0? (again where ? is 0-3). I also setup a link from /dev/mouse to /dev/tty00 just for readability. Secondly since you have an inport mouse also, try MAKEDEV mse0 to make a new device driver for inport mouse. Lastly take a look at the MAKEDEV script, it does contain some info about the correct syntax to setup inport mice.

How do I change the floppy boot disk to mount /dev/sd0a as root device? (The boot manager doesn't work with my HD) b. I can boot manually by typing 'sd(0,a)/kernel' at the boot manager prompt, but if I copy /kernel to /kernel.another and type 'sd(0,a)/kernel.another' at bootup, it gives the error "Invalid format!". c. Similar to (b), every time I compile a new kernel, and "make install", when I type 'sd(0,a)/kernel' at bootup, it says "Invalid format!". (The kernel compiles okay and appears to install okay). Any assistance would be *greatly* appreciated. I am very keen to migrate to FreeBSD as I feel it is much more secure and stable than Linux.

I've recently recompiled the 386BSD's kernel with Xerox NS support. I set an NS address for ethernet interface by "ifconfig ep0 ns 34H:" command (my subnet's number is 34H). Then I succesfully connected two processes on one system via sockets over IDP, but when I tried to send a packet from such a process on 386BSD to a process on a PC waiting for it over Novell IPX it didn't work - the listenning process couldn't see anything.

Lotus Approach determines if a file is encrypted by looking at its extension and contents; if this persists after you rename the file, insert some text at the top of the file using a text editor; something like "Stupid software, this is a plain file" should be enough to throw it off (it's probably the word "code" that's doing you in). A CDROM with more recent information is available from the US Postal services; I believe it is reasonably priced, and that the data is stored in CSV (comma seperated value) format, ideal for import into a database. You should be aware that a full zip+4 database takes in excess of 60 9 track tapes (on the order of 2G of disk space uncompressed) as delivered by the USPS as of 5 years ago.

I've compiled gateway support into the kernel with `options GATEWAY', and i'm running `routed -g'. Here's the setup: I have a couple of freebsd machines at home linked with ethernet. One of the machines (machine A) also connects to an ISP via slip. Machine A is to be a gateway between my local ethernet and the internet. machine a: ip# to slip is 204.131.81.86. ip# to ethernet is 204.131.231.1. I have this machine's default route pointing to the ISP's slip address. Packets between this machine and the internet are routed properly. machine b: ethernet's ip is 204.131.231.10. The default route is machine a's ethernet ip#. I can talk fine between this machine and machine a. Both machines are running FreeBSD 2.0-R. Machine A is a pentium-90 with a 3c509, machine B is a DECpc 486/50 with a DEC DE202 ethernet card. Via tcpdump, when I try to ping from machine B to the internet, I can see packets coming into machine A via the ethernet, but I see no packets coming out of machine A's slip interface to the internet. I don't know what to do next... I was assuming that by simply enabling gateway support in kernel and running routed -g would forward packets between the two interfaces in machine A. Obviously I'm mistaken. I'd really appreciate any help, -Ade Barkah From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 31 13:15:16 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id NAA05110 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 31 Mar 1995 13:15:16 -0800 Received: from disperse.demon.co.uk (disperse.demon.co.uk [158.152.1.77]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id NAA05025; Fri, 31 Mar 1995 13:13:35 -0800 Received: from palmer.demon.co.uk by disperse.demon.co.uk id aa24396; 31 Mar 95 22:00 GMT-60:00 Received: from localhost (gary@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by palmer.demon.co.uk (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id VAA01023 ; Fri, 31 Mar 1995 21:58:46 +0100 X-Authentication-Warning: palmer.demon.co.uk: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol To: Julian Elischer cc: L.S.Grigoriev@rus0301.wins.icl.co.uk, freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: your mail In-reply-to: Your message of "Fri, 31 Mar 1995 12:39:28 -0800."

To shortrn what could be a real long story, this letter is coming to you via an ether net connection then through our ppp link to our service provider in stead of through a direct modem connection.

My problem is with a simple dial up. I have followed the faq, as well as 4.4 SMM. I have also taken advice given to another here to init the modem with stty -f /dev/ttyd0 ... ttyd0 (AKA COM1) is set up in the gettytab as (either) an std.57600 (or) std.115200, as determined by the appropriate entry in /etc/ttys I am definitely getting a connection but the terminal gets garbage upon pressing [ENTER]. The term is Telix, so I doubt the problem lies there. The term is running a USR 14.4 and the host is on a Microcomm DeskporteFAST 28.8. Seems that I am very close but perhaps could use some tuning at the host side. Anyone have specific init strings that work for them? BTW, just _how_ do you send an init string to the modem without booting DOS and redirecting a command line to COM1 (echo ATZ > COM1) This technique does not seem to work here (echo atz>/dev/ttyd0) heh, it was worth a try...

The snapshots serve several purposes. They test new kernel/user land code for weaknesses, and they also test the installation system. As such, they are full releases in their own right (apart from the version numbering). You don't install a snap over 2.0-RELEASE, you install the snap. And the obly way (that I know of) to stay with -current is to compile the source code I'm afraid. Delta's aren't produced for SNAP releases... Also, if you are willing to hold on a month or two more, I'd go for 2.1 actually. It'll be a lot nicer to set up, and should have some outstanding nits fixed.

I think their discount structure starts at 20 per cent off, and goes up with the volume. They have a 3 1/2 floppy catalog that's free, and their number is 1-800-678-1473, or 717-264-0843. Someone asked me last time, I checked, they do international orders if you pay with U.S. funds, and they have always taken my plastic. They've sold me a lot of O'Reilly books, so I know they sell them. I think they (like most places) specialize in DOS/Mac books, but they've had what I wanted, so maybe I've been lucky. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 31 20:33:32 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id UAA29084 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 31 Mar 1995 20:33:32 -0800 Received: from fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov (fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov [137.75.131.171]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id UAA29066 for ; Fri, 31 Mar 1995 20:33:30 -0800 Received: by fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov (5.57/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA19661; Sat, 1 Apr 95 04:33:14 GMT Received: by junco.fsl.noaa.gov (1.38.193.4/SMI-4.1 (1.38.193.4)) id AA02683; Fri, 31 Mar 1995 21:33:16 -0700 Date: Fri, 31 Mar 1995 21:33:16 -0700 From: kelly@fsl.noaa.gov (Sean Kelly) Message-Id: <9504010433.AA02683@junco.fsl.noaa.gov> To: georgeks@quiknet.com Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <9503311746.aa00651@quiknet1.quiknet.com> (georgeks@quiknet.com) Subject: Re: Info on Docs Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >>>>> "George" == George K Scott writes: George> I'm looking for the O'Rieley Docs on FreeBSD. where is George> the quickest way for my to get them??? Go to your local bookstore that stocks titles from O'Reilly & Associates and ask for the 4.4BSD Software Distribution book set. There are five, available as a set with a CD-ROM, or separately: the System Manager's Manual, the User Supplementary Documents, the Programmer Reference Manual, the Programmer Supplementary Documents, and the System Manager's Manual. Which ones you need are up to you, however you might consider omitting the various Reference Manuals since the material is also available conveniently with the man command. Many like having the material collected together in Clifford Stohl's favorite format (book) along with the permuted indexes, though. The only one I purchased: the System Manager's Manual. -- Sean Kelly NOAA/ERL Forecast Systems Laboratory From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Mar 31 21:29:50 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id VAA00745 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 31 Mar 1995 21:29:50 -0800 Received: from pmartin.async.vt.edu (pmartin.async.vt.edu [128.173.17.126]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id VAA00739 for ; Fri, 31 Mar 1995 21:29:47 -0800 From: pmartin@vt.edu Received: by pmartin.async.vt.edu (IBM OS/2 SENDMAIL VERSION 1.3.2)/1.0) id AA0027; Sat, 01 Apr 95 00:29:20 -0500 Message-Id: <9504010529.AA0027@pmartin.async.vt.edu> Date: Sat, 1 Apr 95 00:24:43 EST To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Digiboard support Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am currently evaluating several different unixes for use as a modem pool server using a Digiboard multiport serial IO card.

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

To: questions@FreeBSD.org cc: Glenn McMillen Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi: I'm trying to load up Free BSD 3-22 snapshot on my new PC. It's a Digital Starion 300i (75Mhz Pentium, 850 Mb IDE drive by Maxtor, and lots of other stuff) Anyways, here'smy story: First, I backed up just about everything I could. Then I took off the windows swap. I then partitioned the drive using fips 1.4 (since fips 1.1 that's now available at cdrom.com doesn't work for eide drives, I needed to get the latest and greatest version.) Ok, I sliced up my drive to 350MB for BSD, the rest for DOS. Seems OK. DOS still comes up and it says it has less space available to it. Then I tried doing FreeBSD install. No luck because I didn't run fdisk on the other partition. It still looked like DOS. So I reran FreeBSD Install package. Set up 20MB as /, 32MB as swap and the rest as /usr. Then I went to install. It started doing its thing when the following error appeared: wd0a: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command writing fsbn 1008 of 1008-1023 (wd0 bn 928368; cn 460; tn 16; sn 0) wd0: status0 eror1 It never went away so I rebooted and tried again. Well, it "seemed" to have worked. I went throught the complete install with the cpio disk and was told to reboot from the hard drive. So I did so. The boot question came up and I chose FreeBSD form the menu (instead of DOS). OK, it starts to come up. I go through all the hardware chacks that happen when you reboot. Then I get: wd0 MAXTOR 7850 AV wd0 end bad 32 from partition table (count value 16 restored) So this leads me to my bios and my ide controller. CMD-PCI0640x I got these programs with my computer by cmd technologies. One of them is called CMDIDE.EXE. In this program, I can mes with some of the values of the ide controller I think. Here's what I have: PIO Mode: Auto set to 33Mhz Secondary Channel: disabled Translation Method: LBA (vs Cyl head Sector) Host Timing: Regular Data Width: Wide 32 Bit (vs 16 Bit) Here's what my Phoenix Bios 4.04 said about my drive: 1654 cyl 16 heads 63 sectors per track 1654 landing zone 8 sector multi sector LBA mode enabled 32 bit io disabled transfer past PIO 3 read ahead mode enabled OK, I think I need to disbale the LBA mode control, but where and what effect will that have? Now do I change the bios setting or the settings in the cmd program? If I do change the LBA to CHS mode, will dos just stop reading once it gets to 528 MB or will the drive, thus leaving a bunch for BSD? Or will DOS try to use the entire physical disk for the 528MB thus overwriting anything on the BSD slice? Lastly, if I change the drive configuration to LBA mode off, then will I lose everthing I had on there with DOS? I don't really want that since I like the way it's set up and I really don't want to reload from floppies everything I backed up. Yuck. So it seems like I'm 90% there, but I'm not sure about what Ineed to do next and where I neeed to do it from, the BIOS or the CMD program CFGIDE.EXE? Also, will reconfiguring to CHS mode instead of LBA mode ruin what I already have on the DOS partition?

Neither my microcomm 28.8 nor my viva 14.4 (19200) will work. They both answer the phone fine and establish a connection, but high-order garbage is still the order of the day. This is most frustrating. I have been in telecommunications in the DOS world for over ten years and I feel like a total moron. It just can't be THAT hard. I have gotten it to connect via an old 2400 bps viva at 2400. THAT was straightforward. However, I don't see using that modem on this machine. As for the hs modems, I am not sure HOW to lock them at 38400 or 19200. Anyone have an it string that will do this? The HS light does not light, and every time a connection is made, the modem apparently reverts to 9600bps, notwithstanding all configs and a stty -f /dev/ttyd0 38400 command. Furthermore, setting my term to 9600 does not make the garbage "go away." Though I thought it might be the result codes screwing me up, setting the X[n] register to 0 does not help. Any and all specific setup, init info and help here would be appreciated. I guess the question becomes then: what high speed modem should I purchase that WILL work, and where do I get it (if not an off-the shelf modem)? If time is money, I have already spent the money for the new modem... easily five time over. I might as well be done with it. shane ----- Shane G.

I put in the one-line kernel fix for PPP and fired off the daemon, pointed at a 14.4 modem which is connected to an Annex box. It's an ARQ connection so presumably it's just about error-free. The serial port on my box has a 16550 in it. There aren't any SIO flags in the kernel config file so presumably the FIFO's working. Nevertheless, 'pppstats' shows a relatively high number of errors, apparently on the order of 5% of packets. The question is, should I be worried about this? It looks worrisome to me. Add to this the fact that X applications sometimes seem to get bogus fonts loaded, looking like messes with horizontal lines in them. Restarting the X server is necessary to get rid of these fonts; typically the restarted X server will have the offending fonts loaded correctly by the same applications that misloaded them the last time, but other fonts which were fine before will now be bogus. Anybody seen this? Anybody have a clue?

We have purchased the intire set of manuals from O'Reilly and Associales and found them to be no help in these areas. Sincerly bewildered J. H. Aduddle PS I have been in data processing for 32 years and with UNIX since 1967 @ Case Western University, but I have a sign in my office that reads " show me an expert and I will show you a liar". This is one of those times that I need to call on my pears to assist me, and I have no problems admitting that I need help. Thanks again. James H. Aduddle
