I did an "ls" of the drivers that were current and there was no mention of the "lnc" devices anywhere. I also dumped to the command shell and couldn't find a "file" for it in /dev. I don't know where the actuall lnc driver itself is and without it, I can't progress. So, can you actually tell me where the driver file is. Possibly how to install it. I have the distribution, in shell archives, on another computer. I don't want to extract all the shell archives for this one file, It's a lot of data to extract to find one file.

Date: Sun, 09 Apr 1995 12:12:52 -0700 From: Paul Traina Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I need to build up a tiny cheap box with the largest IDE drive or drives that I can find (unless I can find a SCSI controller that is dirt cheap). The idea here is that this box doesn't need to be fast in the slightest, but I want as much disk capacity as I can throw on it. Unfortunately, I'm a wd moron, since I hate non-SCSI equipment. I know we don't support the enhanced functionality modes in EIDE, but I'm completely obtuse about the differences between IDE and EIDE. Does this mean that we do/do not support drives that have more than 1023 cylinders? If someone has a quick answer, I'd like to here from you, as I've got two days to get this damn thing built so we can install it in the remote location.

It's a 3Com 3C5x9 EISA card. The initial generic kernel didn't find it at all, which is no surprise because its IOADDR is not settable and it seems to have chosen 0x4000 rather than 0x300. So I built a new kernel with the new address in it and now the card is seen and can be configured (i.e. ifconfig no longer reports IOCTL errors). However, the default route I specify in /etc/defaultrouter never gets loaded (this line in netstart fails silently), nor can I set it by hand ("route add default xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa" fails with the error messages "writing to routing socket: file exists" and "add net default: gateway xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa: file exists") I should note that I didn't use the automated configuration procedures, but rather executed their contents, more or less, by hand. Thus there may be a simple configuration error.

While talking to the guy there, he said the router's port is assigned to the address 203.13.47.32, and he said that it is a 'shared' IP address which I will have to set on my side as well. This sounds a bit confusing to me as I haven't played around much with router, and let alone this concept of 'shared' IP address. So, I tried out (on a 1.1.5.1 box used ay my side's router) : 1) kermit to dial up his side and once connected back out to the shell 2) slattach -a -h -s 38400 /dev/tty00 3) ifconfig sl0 inet up 203.13.47.32 203.13.47.32 netmask 255.255.255.0 4) route add default 203.13.47.32 I proceed to do lots of ping (on the same box) but they never get back, then I talk to him again, and was told do leave the destination IP address out, so I tried : 1) ifconfig sl0 inet up 203.13.47.32 netmask 255.255.255.0 and ping again, but still don't get anything back. And I though I remembered the wrong thing so I rang him up again to verify I am using my router's serial port (/dev/tty00) IP as 203.13.47.32. a 'shared' address, and what I need to do is to specify it as my sl0 IP. I am really lost here, since he said it's not a point to point link, and it's not a SLIP link, so what am I supposed to do to get my box talking to his Annex if I am not running slattach or ppp ? Can anyone with Annex experience set up in this way please offer some help ? Thanks in advance.

The only editor you have at this time is "ed", I used ed to change /stand/netinst.sh (is that it? I'm on the wrong machine to check.) where there is no lnc0 device. I searched for "ed0" which is supposed to support NE2100 Lance (it did, in a prior incarnation). Not good enough with ed to change just the "ed0" (or was it "et0"?) I replaced the line with: "lnc0" "My NE2100"\ saved, quit ed, exit back to the install. And was able to get thru that part of the installation. I found it was too easy to accidently cause the installation program to decide it was time to quit and set things up to boot multiuser. One thing NOT to do is to use the wrong command to ftp to end a session. If you use "bye" to exit ftp, I think things are fine, but "quit" is treated as an error on reentry to the intall program. (This was using ftp to install from a host not on the list, one that would not accept anonymous ftp.)

Also, does this 'fixed speed' mode only have > meaning with dial-in or applies to modem used for dial-out ? I think you are referring to a configuration which applies to the speed of the DTE-DCE interface between the computer and the modem when used for dialup purposes. In this config, the two modems communicate with each other at whatever speed they agree upon, but the dialin-modem to computer interface stays at a fixed speed. The benefit of this configuration for a dialin system is that the remote user sees a login: prompt immediately regardless of the speed used by the modems. In the (IMHO) more typical matching-speed configuration, getty on the dialin system tries giving a prompt, then watches for junk characters/BREAKs/NULLs; if it sees something like that, it goes to the next speed (configured via nx= entries in /etc/gettytab) and gives another login prompt. Because of this sequence, a remote user needs to know that if they see "garbage" on the screen, they should press or send a BREAK until they see a good login: prompt. The dialing modem and computer may also communicate with each other at a fixed speed, but that would probably be to take advantage of compression (MNP or V.42bis) in the modem-to-modem protocols. > Finally, what is the AT commands to set up my modem for fixed speed > at 38400 or in general at speed X ?

It seems to depend greatly on your modem. Perhaps look for something in the documentation refering to "locking-speed", "fixed serial port speed", or "serial port speed select". I would assume that it would require that your DTE be set at speed X and you would issue your modem's "commit to NVRAM" command(s). > Thanks in advance.

I have a Maxtor 7850 AV disk. This is an IDE drive with 1654 cylinders, which does not do any kind of translation. When I'm installing 2.0R (using the "newer" floppy images) I can diddle the geometry in FDISK so that it's recorded as 1023 cylinders (the largest value my BIOS will accept), but when I tell it "Use entire disk for FreeBSD", it still sets it up for 1654 cylinders. Anyway, when I try to install like that, all the newfs's and such work fine, and the install proceeds without incident to the "remove the floppys now and reboot from the hard disk" point, but then the boot manager can not load FreeBSD. Which tells me that it's having a problem with the drive geometry. Is there any way I can get this working, getting FreeBSD to use the entire drive while the BIOS only knows about 1023 cylinders? Am I just completely hosed? Thanks for any advice..... --Pat.

Sounds like your ISP has hired some really IP-clueless people in tech support. My guess, based on what you have told me, is that you really need to do the following: - Figure out another address that his box responds to. I would suggest 203.13.47.3[13] as likely candidates. - Properly configure your SLIP interface: # ifconfig sl0 inet 203.13.47.32 other-address-figured-out-above It does not make sense to specify a netmask on a point-to-point interface, although the current code invents a bogus one anyway. This probably should get fixed one day. In your case, the bogus one that the system invents is the same as the bogus one that you specified, so you might as well leave it off. (The system's current behavior allows users to route packets to the other end without actually establishing a route saying that the other end is the right place to send them, so there is probably someone out there depending on the broken behavior.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

There are defaults hard coded in the drivers themselves for emergency fallback. Typically, modification away from these defaults is done by getty, and the settings chosen moderated by the contents of /etc/gettydefs.

Date: Mon, 10 Apr 1995 10:32:15 PDT From: Brian Smith Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I saw this in an article about the capture of Mitnick done by Simson Garfinkle. Here is the relavant excerpt: The attacker who perpetrated the initial break-in of Shimomura's machine did so with a technique called IP spoofing. Using IP spoofing, an attacking computer can masquerade as another. It is also possible, using spoofing, for an attacking computer to com- mandeer an existing connection between two computers. Although IP spoofing sounds like a new technique, it has actually been recognized and openly discussed for years. There are special provisions in the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) standard used by the Internet that are designed to make IP spoofing difficult. The problem is that the IP stack distri- buted with Berkeley Unix (and now used by most of the computer industry) doesn't implement the TCP/IP correctly. I have read the IP, UDP, and TCP RFC's and cannot recall any chunks of functionality missing in BSD TCP/IP implementation relevant to IP spoofing. Mr. Garfinkle makes it sound as if BSD TCP/IP is severely flawed. He admits that he is the not a proponent of UNIX: Face it: Unix sucks. It's a research operating system that never should have escaped from the lab. Unix is a lot of fun for hack- ers (I enjoy it myself from time to time), but it shouldn't be inflicted on millions of innocent users. It shouldn't be the basis for mission-critical operations, and it shouldn't make up the backbone of the Internet or commercial Internet providers. You might think this point of view biased. I am, after all, the editor in chief of The UNIX-HATERS Handbook. But the fact is, most IP-spoofing attacks wouldn't work if Unix implemented the IP protocols properly. Unix is an insecure operating system. We can work to make it more secure, but many ongoing computer security problems result from fundamental flaws in Unix. I really can't agree with him on his conclusion about releasing UNIX :), but I am curious about this alleged TCP/IP security hole. Any ideas?

Ok, I re-clarify with him, it is not a `point-to-point' link between my end and his Annex, and he said I merely need to do something like : ifconfig sl0 inet up 203.13.47.32 netmask 255.255.255.0 But having done so on (sorry still an old) 1.1.5.1 box, doing ifconfig sl0 the next time gives me something looks like: sl0: flag=xxx inet 203.13.47.32 --> 0.0.0.0 netmask ff000000 This may be the thing that bites me since he re-clarify that it is not a `point-to-point' link, but rather much like other Ethernet interface and hence there is no need to specify destination IP in ifconfig, and also it shouldn't show "POINT-TO-POINT" (or something like that) above. The Annex end however is capable in talking TCP/IP regardless of what I use in my end, ie SLIP or PPP. Also, once the modem connection has been established, the only message on the screen is CONNECT XXXX, and I won't get any message or login prompt like on another Annex terminal server in my Uni, with which I get a login prompt, and to enable SLIP on that end, I will login as slip. Well, according to him, his setup has been to support TCP/IP automatically and nothing needs to be done manually, and nothing will be shown on my screen once the modems have connected. Since I am still on 1.1.5.1, I wonder does the ifconfig command behave the same on 2.X ? Oh BTW, I tried the ifconfig on another Linux box as well, which allows you to ifconfig a serial interface without specifying a dest. IP, and without setting it as a POINT-TO-POINT linke, from 'slattach -p slip', well it still didn't work, 8-(((( > > > 1) ifconfig sl0 inet up 203.13.47.32 netmask 255.255.255.0 > > That this did not return an error is a bug in the kernel and will be > fixed shortly. Huh ? This is exactly what he told me to do on my end!? On the other hand, he suggest me running a DOS box running pcroute on it and it SHOULD be much easier to set up and SHOULD work well, as he showed me he actually got quite a few of them in his place! But I thought what is the diiference between a host and a cheap pcroute box ? For some reason he keep mentioning this is the best way to go on my end, and perhaps his end setup depends on this sort of set up on my end, doesn't make sense! > My guess, based on what you have told me, is that you really need to > do the following: > > - Figure out another address that his box responds to.

Well, I guess someone is going to say make sure your modem or cable have been set up and plugged properly, which I double-checked they have been, and the V.34 modem has been init'ed to talk to Annex at 38400. > > -GAWollman Anyway, thanks for your help, I shall try again with pcroute alternative. Have anyone done things like this before ? A diagram below will help, perhaps: FreeBSD Annex router +-----+ +-----+ | |-- modem --- ............. --- modem ----| | +-----+ ^ ^ +-----+ | | /dev/tty0, sl0, 203.13.47.32 unspecified and I was told to do the following : 1. connect to the remote modem 2. ifconfig sl0 inet up 203.13.47.32 netmask 255.255.255.0 Yes, he said it over 10 times or so, this is *NOT* a point-to-point link, and I *MUST* leave the destination IP address out. However, I believe on 1.* FreeBSD, sl* are configured to be point-to-point interface even without specifying destination IP address (as seen from ifconfig sl0 command) ? 3. route add default 203.13.47.32 Many thanks in advance.

Read the FAQ, and following this I tried to configure my kernel. I edited LINT, removing all I didn't need, did a config(8) and then a make depend (as config told me to do so). That went ok (no errors). Then I tried make all, and after a while got a "page fault" error (12?) after which the machine rebooted automagically. Following the FAQ I then tried to config and make all "GENERIC", with the same result (didn't do a make depend as it's not mentioned in the FAQ). I found that cc had dumped core, but I really have no clue as to what to do to get it to compile. Be sure to rub it in, if it's something really stupid i've overseen . Anyway, any help, pointers or the likes will be much appreciated, as I'm trying to expand my horizon past my DOS and Mac experience, and am perfectly clueless. l8r, george. ============================================================= e-mail : kroonder@knoware.nl | I prefer the wicked to the phone : +31-ido-not-thinkso | foolish.

For large systems which expect to receive lots of mail and such, /var should be a separate FS. This is also a good thing considering all of the logfiles and other 'often updated' system files are stored in /var. (/var/log, /var/run, .....)

Dialup IP ports on an Annex have both local and remote IP addresses. 203.13.47.32 is the remote, you also need the local to ifconfig the sl0 device. He's sadly mistaken if he thinks it's not a point-to-point link. Ask him to do a 'show port=X' (where X is the port you are logging in on) using the admin function on the annex. Ask him what the values for slip_local_address and slip_remote_address are. If these aren't unique, and not 0.0.0.0, run, don't walk, to another provider. > > 3. route add default 203.13.47.32 > > > > Many thanks in advance. > > > Ok with follow up to my own message, I want to know can the above Annex > setup be considered a dial-up router ?

If they are IBCS2 binaries and not Xenix binaries running in compatability mode, the answer is a qualified "yes". It's qualified by the devices and networking and other ancillary services above and beyond "just running" that the binary uses. This is true of the NetBSD IBCS2 and Linux IBCS2 compatability, as well; the code isn't the same, though, so the IBCS2 compatability differences don't necessarily overlap 100%. The best advice is "try it". > 2) Is there driver support for PCI/SCSI controller cards? Yes, for both NCR and Adaptec.

As far as I know, it has to do with the datagram sequence numbers used in TCP connections. BSD TCP/IP always starts the sequence number at 1 (thereby making it relatively easy to guess that within a few moments of a connection, the number will be 2, 3, 4, etc.) If I recall properly, the relevant RFCs specify that these numbers are supposed to be randomly chosen. Always picking "1" can probably be construed as being somewhat predictable and less that random (!). Now, I'm quoting all of this from memory, so any TCP/IP gurus out there are welcome to jump in and correct me! > Face it: Unix sucks. > > I really can't agree with him on his conclusion about releasing UNIX :), Well, Unix sucks, yes. TCP/IP also sucks. C sucks, and C++ is worse. VHS also sucks when compared to Beta! On the other hand, their ubiquitousness (!?) make them about the only valid choices for a wide range of applications that require interoperability and/or portability. Few people are proposing these days that you should get the machines in your office set up using the OSI suite. Heck, governments are even amending their GOSIP to allow for TCP/IP. The only thing you can really do for security is to try to make sure that you do not become dependent on connections to the outside world for your day-to-day operations (i.e. that your portion of the Internet can run in isolation). You should also try to be "security conscious" (set-up a firewall, monitor any possible attacks, etc.) Anyway, off of the soapbox for now, I've got to put out the garbage :-) -- Denis Fortin fortin@acm.org DMR Group Inc, (514) 877-3301 These opinions are my own From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 11 04:19:10 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id EAA18382 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 11 Apr 1995 04:19:10 -0700 Received: from sbstark.cs.sunysb.edu (sbstark.cs.sunysb.edu [130.245.1.47]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id EAA18376 for ; Tue, 11 Apr 1995 04:19:09 -0700 Received: (from root@localhost) by sbstark.cs.sunysb.edu (8.6.12/8.6.9) with UUCP id HAA22389; Tue, 11 Apr 1995 07:18:52 -0400 Received: (from gene@localhost) by starkhome.cs.sunysb.edu (8.6.11/8.6.9) id GAA06392; Tue, 11 Apr 1995 06:37:51 -0400 Date: Tue, 11 Apr 1995 06:37:51 -0400 From: Gene Stark Message-Id: <199504111037.GAA06392@starkhome.cs.sunysb.edu> To: "Randall S.

I don't consider myself a guru, but the situation is that tcp_iss is initialized to 1 ONLY at bootup time. After that, tcp_iss is incremented by 64000 twice a second and every time a TCP connection is opened. You can easily check this out by reading the code in /sys/netinet or by running `tcpdump -S' for a few minutes. (See also Wright-Stevens: TCP/IP Illustrated, vol 2.)

In-reply-to: Your message of Mon, 10 Apr 1995 10:32:15 -0700. <9504101732.AA16157@dot.protools.com> Date: Tue, 11 Apr 1995 10:21:15 -0400 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The problem with the BSD implementation of TCP is the method by which it chooses the initial sequence number for a TCP connection. RFC793 specifies that: When new connections are created, an initial sequence number (ISN) generator is employed which selects a new 32 bit ISN. The generator is bound to a (possibly fictitious) 32 bit clock whose low order bit is incremented roughly every 4 microseconds. What BSD does is increment the "clock" (the variable tcp_iss) at the correct rate (well, half the correct rate) but with a granularity of PR_SLOWHZ--twice a second. That is, it bumps tcp_iss by 64000 every time the slow timeout happens. The problem with the BSD method is that it makes it relatively easy to predict what the initial sequence number of a new connection to a particular host will be. The IP spoofing attack is greatly simplified by this weakness. If you can guess the initial sequence number used, it is possible to "half-way" open a TCP connection to a host without ever receiving any packets back from the host. (By "half-way" I mean that you can send data down the connection but not get anything back.) So the attacker can put the IP address of a trusted host in the source field, open such a connection (to say the rexec port) and send something down the connection to facilitate further attacks. andrew From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 11 07:36:32 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id HAA20793 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 11 Apr 1995 07:36:32 -0700 Received: from kalypso.iqm.unicamp.br (kalypso.iqm.unicamp.br [143.106.13.10]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id HAA20783 for ; Tue, 11 Apr 1995 07:35:50 -0700 Received: (from vazquez@localhost) by kalypso.iqm.unicamp.br (8.6.10/8.6.9) id LAA04463 for freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com; Tue, 11 Apr 1995 11:26:54 -0300 From: Pedro A M Vazquez Message-Id: <199504111426.LAA04463@kalypso.iqm.unicamp.br> Subject: slipr To: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com Date: Tue, 11 Apr 1995 11:26:52 -0300 (EST) Organization: Instituto de Quimica Unicamp X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 159 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello I lost the message pointing to the host where slipr can be ftp'ed from.

It's my first time using freebsd. Software, including X11R6, got installed and ran fine on my 486/50 machine. But somehow I couldn't get the network going. I am using 3COM509 NIC. The command ifconfig showed the interface card was up and running: % ifconfig ep0 ep0: flags=863 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 I could ping to myself, but couldn't ping to any other machines in the same LAN.

Thanks for your help! -Dean Shu lanconfig(1M) lanconfig(1M) NAME lanconfig - configure network interface parameters SYNOPSIS lanconfig interface [ether |-ether] [ieee |-ieee] DESCRIPTION lanconfig is used to configure the network interface protocol. It must be used at boot time to configure each interface present on a machine, and can also be used at a later time to redefine interface protocol configuration. interface is a string of the form name unit, such as lan0. lanconfig enables or disables protocols as defined by the following parameters: ieee Enable IEEE 802.3 protocol over the network interface. -ieee Disable IEEE 802.3 protocol over the network interface. ether Enable Ethernet protocol over the network interface. -ether Disable Ethernet protocol over the network interface. (none) If no optional parameters are supplied, lanconfig displays the current configuration for interface. Only users with appropriate privileges can modify the configuration of a network interface. If no protocol encapsulation method is enabled, the lan driver cannot send packets over that interface and any subsequent send() fails, returning the error [ENETUNREACH]. DIAGNOSTICS Messages indicating the specified interface does not exist, the requested parameter value is unknown, or the user is not privileged and tried to alter an interface's configuration.

I could not for the life of me, get ANY bsd to install properly. (2.0R and 3/22 snashot) It seems that the 32 value is automagically reverted back to 16 heads. I found the spot in the source code where it happens and it's in the latest part too, so it's still there. Anyways, what I ended up doing was loading up Linux from the latest slackware disks. Which leads me to an observation, bsd and slackware may be free, but the money is going to the blank disk manufacturers ;) Anyways, I really would like o use freebsd instead of linux, but linux works for me and bsd doesn't, so it looks like i use linux for now :( I use suns at work and it would be nice to have the same type of sys admin at home too, but alas, poor Glenn, had to buy the upscale computer, didn't ya!

Regards. -Serge. ---------- From: owner-freebsd-questions To: questions Cc: shu Subject: cannot connect to LAN Date: Tuesday, April 11, 1995 10:44AM Hi, I bought the most recent freebsd on CDROM from Walnut Creek a couple of weeks ago. It's my first time using freebsd. Software, including X11R6, got installed and ran fine on my 486/50 machine. But somehow I couldn't get the network going. I am using 3COM509 NIC. The command ifconfig showed the interface card was up and running: % ifconfig ep0 ep0: flags=863 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 I could ping to myself, but couldn't ping to any other machines in the same LAN. It always got the error send to: host is down Other machines couldn't ping to freebsd machine either. I wonder if I have missed anything in the network setup? On HP-UX, we do need to run another command "lanconfig" after the command ifconfig. I couldn't find a similar command for that function in freebsd. Is that required in freebsd? Thanks for your help! -Dean Shu lanconfig(1M) lanconfig(1M) NAME lanconfig - configure network interface parameters SYNOPSIS lanconfig interface [ether |-ether] [ieee |-ieee] DESCRIPTION lanconfig is used to configure the network interface protocol. It must be used at boot time to configure each interface present on a machine, and can also be used at a later time to redefine interface protocol configuration. interface is a string of the form name unit, such as lan0. lanconfig enables or disables protocols as defined by the following parameters: ieee Enable IEEE 802.3 protocol over the network interface. -ieee Disable IEEE 802.3 protocol over the network interface. ether Enable Ethernet protocol over the network interface. -ether Disable Ethernet protocol over the network interface. (none) If no optional parameters are supplied, lanconfig displays the current configuration for interface. Only users with appropriate privileges can modify the configuration of a network interface. If no protocol encapsulation method is enabled, the lan driver cannot send packets over that interface and any subsequent send() fails, returning the error [ENETUNREACH]. DIAGNOSTICS Messages indicating the specified interface does not exist, the requested parameter value is unknown, or the user is not privileged and tried to alter an interface's configuration.

The end result is that I have something like a meg or two of statically linked programs which could happily be smaller if libc.* was in /lib (which would take up only 800k or so).

The best place to start (assuming you have a post 2.0 system) is the INN system in the ports collection. (ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/ports/news/inn/). I am running this at home without problem. There is plenty of docs on how to set up innd inside the tarball. Advanced stuff isn't covered in as much detail as I'd like sometimes tho. >We already have INN running on the larger HP 9000/807 box getting news from >the outside world.

You don't need DNS for newsfeeds. USENET news was designed origionally for point-to-point UUCP feeds! All you really need are entries in /etc/hosts for your feed sites. Also, you could see if you can make the HP box provide you with a nntpxmit feed (again see in the source code for the manuals/instructions), which would have to be reciprocal for outgoing news to propogate to the world. Drop me a line if you have any more questions.

The installation boots off floppy and detects the drives MAXTOR 1654 CYL 16 HEADS 63 SECTORS WD 1010 CYL 9 HEADS ? SECTORS (sorry I'm doing this from memory) Towards the end it says its resizing "d" from 1665216 to 1667232 I'm not sure but I think this has something to do with the # of sectors on the maxtor the first # gives 1652 cylinders and the second 1654 IF YOU divide out the # of heads and sectors. anyway it goes forwards and does everything off the boot floppy, but when I try to reboot from the hard disk ( either disk I've tried installing on both) it gives me the boot prompt about specifing where the kernel is and what switches to use, but when I try to boot it locks up. The rotating bar comes up but never starts rotating. I think it is looking for the kernel and cannot find it. Anyway any help would be appreciated. It was my understanding that FreeBSD would work with EIDE but didn't support any of the new features. I therfore figured it would work with my smaller disk which shouldn't need cylinder translation. I do however have LBA translation turned on on my EIDE card's BIOS. BTW Will FreeBSD R2.1 support EIDE?

I have searched the FAQ's for "MSDOS" and read everything that I found, but I couldn't see any information on how to do this. FreeBSD fdisk recognizes and interprets the fdisk table correctly, but no partitions other than D are configured (due to the lack of a FreeBSD disklabel, presumably). I thought that something in FreeBSD "faked" a disk label for a drive with only MS-DOS file structures on it, but I am certainly not observing that behavior here. I am about to try to install a FreeBSD disklabel on the disk, since it was freshly-formatted and has nothing to loose. Also, while I have you on the line, how does one issue a low-level format to SCSI devices? That won't help for this particular application, of course, since they need a full MS-DOS filesystem out there, but for other purposes it would be nice to know...

The manual does state that the -netmask qualifer should follow the destination parameter, so the correct operation is consistent with the documentation, though I missed that subtlety earlier. Thanks to those of you who have so kindly replied. I will post to hacers with more detailed information about the seemingly anamolous behavior of route and netstat.

I have been running these since the identd thing. Smap is a tiny smtp protocol engine that runs as uid "nobody" in a chrooted environment. You can't do very much with it :-) Smapd comes along later, verifies the message headers for politeness, and then passes the message to sendmail.

What can I do? Alas, the only solution to this is to backup the disk and re-newfs it. The problem is that the newfs command allocates one i-node per 2K of disk blocks. This is normally quite nice. However, news is a pathelogical case in that most files are very small (well under 2K in size). As such you need to tell newfs to allocate i-nodes based upon a size less than 2K. To do this you use (I think) the "-i" option on newfs. Something like: newfs -i 1024 /dev/rsd?? This will cause the initialization of the filesystem to be done allocating one inode per 1K of disk space. Essentially it will double the number of inodes that you have available (and hence double the number of files that you can have). After that, restore and enjoy. - Jeff From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 12 07:16:09 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id HAA14059 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 12 Apr 1995 07:16:09 -0700 Received: from trout.sri.MT.net (trout.sri.MT.net [204.182.243.12]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id HAA14048 for ; Wed, 12 Apr 1995 07:16:00 -0700 Received: (from nate@localhost) by trout.sri.MT.net (8.6.11/8.6.10) id IAA13474; Wed, 12 Apr 1995 08:19:55 -0600 Date: Wed, 12 Apr 1995 08:19:55 -0600 Message-Id: <199504121419.IAA13474@trout.sri.MT.net> To: Andres Vega Garcia Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: GUS MAX audio card In-Reply-To: <199504121017.MAA01547@pax.inria.fr> References: <199504121017.MAA01547@pax.inria.fr> Reply-To: nate@sneezy.sri.com (Nate Williams) From: nate@sneezy.sri.com (Nate Williams) Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Andres Vega Garcia writes: > Hello, I have seen in some posts that this card is supported, but the > FAQ does not mention anything. > > Does it should work on a 486DX-33 with ISA bus?

(I don't have any SCSI devices, tape drives, etc.) I also wanted to modify some of the drivers to autodetect better. Here are some of the problems I encountered: Mouse board: I have a Logitech mouse port board, it is currently at IRQ 2, which I tried to have the system configure it at, and it said no, and moved it automatically to IRQ 9. Is there something its conflicting with at IRQ 2? Are there still any bugs in the LNC driver, which is the only network driver I compiled in? It is a "*" in the FAQ and says it has known problems, what are they if they still exist? (My card is a Lance chip working on DMA not common memory.) During compiling I got a couple of errors: Firstly, it couldn't find the "stdio.h" file for the genasym, or something like that file, and then later it couldn't find the "stddef.h" file. I put them both into the /usr/src/sys/.. directories where the header files are located...this cured the file not found problem. Is there anything wrong with that? I got an error during linking after I had compiled for half an hour or more. (I'm working on putting this on a 486-33 "server" machine. The machine will run Socks and do mail for a network of 3 other machines. It will be dual-homed to the internal network and the Internet.) Anyway, the file "autoconf.o" wanted the function "_setconf" and couldn't find it. The autoconf.c file is located in i386/i386/ and in there is also a file called swapgeneric.c; that file was the "setconf" function in it. Should I compile that file and include it in the link. If I should compile that file and include it in, should I compile it as, "normal" or "driver"? (I believe those were the options.) I installed the new kernel, the GENERIC version, onto the machine last night. All this was from the latest SNAP of the code. Now the machine doesn't boot at all. It seems that it isn't happy with the IDE drives now. Since I'm not infront of the machines, I can't give you great specifics, (yes I realize how annoying that is and I'm sorry, I can get them later though,) but the machine has a 270 Meg hard drive and a 540 Meg hard drive. One of which is a Western Digital and the other is a Maxtor. (I believe that is correct.) When the kernel starts to boot it says a whole bunch of stuff like the drive is busy and it times out and gets all sorts of errors. It never stops running the drives and never actually gets anywhere, except a lot of error messages. Is this a know problem? If not, I will copy all the messages from the screen and send them in. Anyway, can anybody make a newer kernel version boot, is there an option I can set somewhere? Lastly, this one should be simple, I want to get the machine to run as a slip or ppp connection "server" to my school to be the Internet side. My school has a dial in Modem pool that runs, (I think,) off of Cisco routers with some custimizations. Anyway, I want to write a script to connect the system to the school. Last night, I couldn't figure out which piece of software I would want to use. I tried startslip, slattach, and tip. I never got any of these working, (even in combinations,) to connect. Where should I look on how to configure the slip/ppp connection? Oh, one more thing, is there anyway to make the console of FreeBSD any better than the "SCO" thing it is? Linux was tab for filename completion, and up arrow for command histories. It also has color built in. Who do I configure FreeBSD to get some of these things back into the console?

Most probably you'll need to hack a kernel code - it determines the memsize via BIOS call , which reports wrong number on certain brands ( Gateway and Micron are two examples). Should be somewhere in sys/kernel/machdep.c ... or alike. Search for the string 'Testing memory' - the code which determines the memory is some 50 lines above. Instead of making the BIOS call just assign some resonable value to extmem or basemem - I don't remember exactly ;) That will be safe , since the kernel verifies the memory and won't use the memory above the first invalid/nonexistent page > > -- > SY RK From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 12 16:13:15 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id QAA29831 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 12 Apr 1995 16:13:15 -0700 Received: from cs.weber.edu (cs.weber.edu [137.190.16.16]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id QAA29825 for ; Wed, 12 Apr 1995 16:13:13 -0700 Received: by cs.weber.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1.1) id AA19420; Wed, 12 Apr 95 16:26:44 MDT From: terry@cs.weber.edu (Terry Lambert) Message-Id: <9504122226.AA19420@cs.weber.edu> Subject: Re: Kernel compiling; bugs; help To: yzalkow@birch.ee.vt.edu (Yuval Zalkow) Date: Wed, 12 Apr 95 16:26:44 MDT Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <9504121943.AA20935@fox.ee.vt.edu> from "Yuval Zalkow" at Apr 12, 95 03:43:07 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4dev PL52] Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Oh, one more thing, is there anyway to make the console of FreeBSD any > better than the "SCO" thing it is?

This is a function of the shell, not of the console software. The console software only displays what it is told to display and allows you to control certain things like attributes on characters and region erases and scrolling using escape sequences. Run zsh or tcsh or bash as your shell, and make sure it is started correcty (has the right things in the init file). Note that you should not change the root shell from the sbin shell, since it is statically linked on purpose so root can log in and fix problems with the shared library system if they occur. The other shells are dynamically linked to save space on disk and in core.

Automatically dial when you want to make a network connection and go away (to save you money) if you aren't using the connection simultaneously. It can also amaze your friends and neighbors, if you also use Netscape or have an mbone feed, or if your neighbors are impressed by a news feed or by blinky lights on data commmunications equipment. If they are impressed by blinky lights and that's the reason you want PPP, I can make you a deal and save you some money by giving you plans for a "blinky light box" for a modest fee and a stencil that says that "this is an ultra-top secret piece of data communications equipment". > 7) Is it possible to use my local inet utils (IRC for example) to > work OverTheModem(tm) and use the SunOS 4.1.1 at the other end's > inet line? Oh, yeah, PPP can do this too, but your modem lights will only blink when you are ActuallyDoingSomething(tm), and that won't be nearly as impressive as a real "blinky light box". Remember that most of the people who would be impressed got their idea of what a computer is from watching "Star Trek", so without a real "blinky light box", you will have to buy a sound board to play audio clips like Majel Barrett saying "Working..." and other computer phrases. Eventually, they will catch on, so you will have to hire Majel Barrett (now Majel Barrett Rodenberry) to say pithy computer things like "Abort, Retry, Ignore" to keep the wool pulled over their eyes. This is a losing battle (I've been there), and a "blinky light box" really is the most cost effective thing in the long run. Really. > 8) What if Luke never met Obi-Wan on the planet Hoth?

A recent adjustment, however, is causing me some inconvenience. In this SNAP, the behavior of the backspace key changed from ctrl H (0x08) to DEL (0x7f), even though /root/.login still has stty crt erase ^H in it. In fact, I find it a loss of utility to have two keys on the keyboard (BACKSPACE and DELETE) produce the same ASCII code when neither produces ^H. Also, I have set up all my logins on various machines to use ^H for backspace. I have read the man pages for vidcontrol and kbdcontrol and looked in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps, but haven't found anything useful. I have also looked in /etc/sysconfig to see if there might be a clue there. My greatest preference would be to change the behavior back to the earlier way of simply producing ASCII BS on Backspace. My next thought is to dig into syscons.h and syscons.h -- suggestions?

And here's my question: We have an T1 link to Internet through firewall: INTERNET===Host1(HP9000)===FW===Host2(HP9000)===Host3(FreeBSD) | Host4(FreeBSD) Hosts 1 and 2 run HPUX 9.04 and have everything set up. I do not have DNS on the Host3 because generally I only can access Host2 and Host3. I use hosts table for that purpose. Now I need to run IRC from Host3. Obviously, this s not possible because I Host3 can't resolve names. Is there any way to use DNS service from Host2 for this. How to set it up? Thanks.

Unfortunately the installation failed. I wonder if anybody is able to help me on that ? Here's what's going on : System is a 486DX2-66 Intel, Asus SP3G Mainboard, 8MB RAM 256K Cache, using the onboard NCR SCSI Controller with CONNER 1060S (1GB,SCSI) HD and Toshiba 3601B (4.5 x Speed, SCSI CDROM Drive), 1/4" Floppy Grpahics Board is Spea Mercury, Standard Keyboard (No mouse connected to system). Software is from BSDisc (November 94) from InfoMagic I made two install disks (rawrite). 1st disk contained a boot_144.flp image, second floppy contained a sysinstall (also flp-file). On the CD there are two directories called NEWER and OLDER. The directories both contained boot_flp and sysinstall. I tried all four possible combinations of boot.flp and sysinstall on the two floppies. With the newer boot.flp the installation stopped (system reboot) a different points (usually after creating the filesystems, in copying in kernel). With the older boot.flp the installation succeeded, and the first boot after that succeeded, and i was asked to insert the second floppy. After that (while copying the sysinstall tool) the system rebooted. I tried both versions of the sysinstall tool, without success. The system did not always boot the kernel and came up to the sysinstall stuff. Sometimes (about 3/4 of all tries) it did not boot the kernel correct. That's where i am now. I wonder if somebody can help me on that. Thanks a lot.

You must run bootd on your sparc machine, it must be on the same logical subnet as the BSD box, and the BSD box must: (1) Boot DOS and run "netboot.com", which is built in the BSD kernel sources as "netboot.nohdr". OR (2) Have an ethernet card with a bootp knowledgable ROM installed (this is also in the BSD kernel sources, though you'd have to look for it). The ROM image that you can build will need to be built card specific and will need to be burnt into ROM and the ROM installed in the card. EPROM or PROM or whatever is just fine, so long as the card understands it. In addition, it is likely that you must either relax the security restrictions on the exported directories on the sparc, or you must export multiple directories. You would have to do this for SunOS or Solaris diskless clients as well, the reason being the that the mount requests are performed by the root user, and the root user has ID -2 for the iteration of directories for subdirectory mounts, so unless you export for root access (or on SunOS disable the debug patch in the /etc/rc file), the subdirectory mounts will not be possible for the diskless machine unless they are explicit exports.

I think this is the main problem; we don't know what the contents of that disk are relative to the snapshots and releases. The general suggestion is to download boot disks from either the release or current via anonymous FTP (binary mode, of course) so that we can answer questions from a position of knowledge. I'm pretty sure that the install probram from CDROM is going to be different, since the install program on the WC CDROM (which I haven't used, but which at least some of us have used and others of us have written) is, I think, copyright Walnut Creek, and wouldn't be on your disk. Have you tried contacting InfoMagic regarding their install procedure? If they want list support, then it would probably be to their advantage to seed the contributors with CDROMs (like Walnut Creek does) so that they will be familiar with the install. Unfortunately, this will only be marginally effective, since the list members will either already have a WC version, OR they will be doing their install relative to a running install as a full-build-to-upgrade type install (I think this is the majority of people here). > With the older boot.flp the installation succeeded, and the first boot > after that succeeded, and i was asked to insert the second floppy. > After that (while copying the sysinstall tool) the system rebooted. > I tried both versions of the sysinstall tool, without success. > The system did not always boot the kernel and came up to the > sysinstall stuff.

If the install hasn't been altered from the Release disk images, I'd suggest that the first thing you do is try newer install images to see if it will correct your problems. If InfoMagic has added significant value to the install, then it probably won't be recognizable to us and we won't be able to help you -- you'll have to contact them. Feel free to forward this to InfoMagic; I'll admit that a lot of us have some "brand loyalty" to Walnut Creek because of it providing the host site for archives and source tree control, but there's' not an active campaign to crush all competition (as far as I know). I would encourage them to distribute CDROMs to those people on the questions list who install from CDROM to help cover their bases. Questions can only be answered from a basis of knowledge or from a basis of the universal problem solving procedure (try this, try that); from past experience with similar questions about BSDisc, I can tell you that very few of us are knowledgable about that particular distribution.

Then I applied ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.1.1/patches/XFree86-3.1.1.diff.gz to the untarred source tree (only 5 files came up as unpatchable: B4light.ad, Imakefile, XScrnSaver.c, b4light.c, b4light.man). I did not untar contrib (disk space limitations), so I figure that's where those files belong. After modifying site.def and xf86site.def to my requirements, "make World >& World.log" fails very early: making Makefiles in ../Xext... mv Makefile Makefile.bak making Makefiles in ../XExExt... cd: can't cd to XExExt mv Makefile Makefile.bak ../../config/imake/imake: not found and on until make dies. A diff -r between /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config and the source config directory still shows a lot of differences, which spells trouble. Is there another patch file I should be using, or another source tree altogether? Should I just retrieve ftp.xfree86.org:/pub/XFree86/3.1.1/untarred and build from there?

I have been having problems adding an Archive Python 25501-xxx DAT tape drive to the 950322-SNAP release of FreeBSD. I am using the Adaptec 2842A controller. The system locks up when booting with the tape drive connected. ahc1: reading board settings ahc1: 284x Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, aic7770 >= Rev E, 16 SCBs ahc1: Downloading Sequencer Program...Done ahc1 at 0x1000-0x10ff irq 11 on eisa slot 1 ahc1: Probing channel A ahc1 waiting for scsi devices to settle ahc1: target 0 synchronous at 10.0MB/s, offset = 0x19 (ahc1:0:0): "HP C2490A-300 4140" is a type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc1:0:0): Direct-Access 2033MB (4165272 512 byte sectors) ahc1: target 6 synchronous at 10.0MB/s, offset = 0x42 The system hangs at this point with the disk controller access light on. I rebuilt the kernel with the NEW_SCSICONF option and also added a table entry for the Archive drive using the parameters of the Wangdat DAT drive. I then tried the SCSI_2_DEF option. Neither of these options made any difference. I then tried the SCSIDEBUG option to determine where the boot was failing. The boot was successful and I was able to write a tar tape and read it successfully (with a lot of debug messages). Apparently, the problem is related to timing to the Archive tape drive. The last thing which I have tried was the new aic sequencer code and driver. The system still locks up at the same place during boot (no debug). Does anyone have any suggestions for resolving this problem.

Obviously, this s > not possible because I Host3 can't resolve names. Are you saying Host3 doesn't have a default nameserver or it isn't in your DNS? Your DNS is probably located on Host1 (my guess, being outside the firewall where the rest of the world can see it), so point your /etc/resolv.conf on Host3 to Host1. There is no requirement that Host3 be resolvable by anyone else to get on IRC. My machine shows up as 140.109.40.248 on IRC because I haven't gotten around to adding our FreeBSD boxes to our DNS. You might even get away with not having a default nameserver on Host3 if you put your IRC server into /etc/hosts, but things like /dcc will stop working. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 14 02:13:53 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id CAA12156 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Apr 1995 02:13:53 -0700 Received: from irz301.inf.tu-dresden.de (irz301.inf.tu-dresden.de [141.76.1.11]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id CAA11927 ; Fri, 14 Apr 1995 02:09:24 -0700 Received: from sax.sax.de by irz301.inf.tu-dresden.de with SMTP (5.67b+/DEC-Ultrix/4.3) id AA02418; Fri, 14 Apr 1995 11:08:44 +0200 Received: by sax.sax.de (8.6.12/8.6.12-s1) with UUCP id LAA23738; Fri, 14 Apr 1995 11:08:33 +0200 Received: (from j@localhost) by uriah.heep.sax.de (8.6.11/8.6.9) id KAA17475; Fri, 14 Apr 1995 10:53:51 +0200 From: J Wunsch Message-Id: <199504140853.KAA17475@uriah.heep.sax.de> Subject: Re: Proceses that won't die - follow up To: nc@ain.charm.net (Network Coordinator) Date: Fri, 14 Apr 1995 10:53:50 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: from "Network Coordinator" at Apr 13, 95 08:16:59 pm Reply-To: joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de (Joerg Wunsch) X-Phone: +49-351-2012 669 X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Length: 401 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk As Network Coordinator wrote: > > > For some reason at the same time the system decides to not kill any > processes (except shells) the system won't allow an ls -l of the / > directory.

It's happened to utils like 'ls', 'groff', 'troff', 'umount', 'mount_nfs', and most recently 'csh'! Taking an original from another machine and comparing, there's usually something like two bytes different. Copying over the executable with a fresh one fixes the problem, but I can never be sure what util will be the next one to go. Not sure if this is related, but I've also been in the office a few times when I've been looking at the console and the system starts syncing disks and rebooting! No error messages or anything, but when this happens it almost *never* comes up on its own. (Pretty tough when using the system as an ISP!) It'll go into single user mode and give me the shell prompt. However, the shell prompt at this point usually doesn't work. A few times I was able to get into a shell by specifying bash as the shell rather then the default (I suspect this is from csh going bad). Once getting a shell I end up reinstalling fresh binaries as the system seems to core dump and go nuts on several different programs after one of these reboots. Installing the bins fixes the problem and i'm at least able to get up and going. So my question is.... Any ideas what is going?????? I have made one change in the kernel which was mentioned here before when someone asked about trying to speed up NFS writes. I've commented out the 'SYNC" param and have recompiled. Is this known to possibly cause problems? I can live with 150-200kbs writes for stability!

The bogus mount was most likely wuarchive.wustl.edu because at about 5 pm the last couple of days their system has been too busy to deal with NFS packets correctly. The phone company dropped carrier on the line that was using slattach and I checked up on the system a few hours later and EVERYTHING that was not dying was gone. Either it was when wuarchive started accepting packets again or the slip line dying. When I tried to umount wuarchive before that, it said device is busy. -> Is there anyway to hard core, override something like that? If I was running NFSiod I suppose I could have killed it, but I wasn't at the time. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the insight, its really appreciated -- I can't even call the inconveniences (few) that I have had with FreeBSD even real problems, after it was installed its been nothing but the fastest, safest and most stable multi-tasking OS I have used (on any platform).

I have a WangDAT 3400dx and I see the same problem. Roughly 80% of boots hang on the sense mode of the tape.

Is this normal, needing to fsck several times? Anyhow, I noticed something a little peculiar when rebooting the machines. In /etc/netstart, the ifconfigs for my Ethernet card and for the loopback interface come up nice a quickly, but then the machine hangs for well over two minutes at the "route add 244.0.0.0" line. It eventually comes up on its own. This is happening on both machines now. What is the purpose of this "multicast interface" with the 224.0.0.0 address and the 240.0.0.0 netmask?

Obviously, this s > not possible because I Host3 can't resolve names. Are you saying Host3 doesn't have a default nameserver or it isn't in your DNS? Your DNS is probably located on Host1 (my guess, being outside the firewall where the rest of the world can see it), so point your /etc/resolv.conf on Host3 to Host1. There is no requirement that Host3 be resolvable by anyone else to get on IRC. My machine shows up as 140.109.40.248 on IRC because I haven't gotten around to adding our FreeBSD boxes to our DNS. You might even get away with not having a default nameserver on Host3 if you put your IRC server into /etc/hosts, but things like /dcc will stop working. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org Firstly, thanks a lot to all who responded.

It does not work anyway. I can't directly access, let's say irc2.mit.edu, even if I have the entry for it in my host table. I believe I should have some port open (6667?) on Host2 or some kind of "IRC proxy", or something else (?) to allow for communication. Any ideas? Thanks.

The system doesn't reboot - just freezes silently. I run XFree 3.1.1 and I think that there is some relation between the X11 and what happens ... Don't know why , though ;( And it freezes really good - nothing works , incl. net - so I can't telnet from remote ... The PC is Gateway 2000/P90/PCI/SCSI Bustec 946C/128Mb RAM.

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Since I heard that recent snapshots have support for "Sound Blaster" CD-ROM drives, I thought I'd upgrade. But I still have a few questions, namely: What have you done to /etc recently? Or, briefly, will everything work okay if I just keep my old /etc files? The most important thing there is my SLIP setup, which I can't remember how to duplicate... Can I just grab new kernel sources, compile, and be off and running? This is very significant if it means I can actually get my CD-ROM drive to work. And perhaps even my SBPro. (sound.doc?) Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work!

There is a swap leak in 1.1.5 and 2.0R that was fixed a few months ago. The solution is complex and will require that you upgrade to either -current or 2.1 when it becomes available in order to get the fix. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 14 18:12:25 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id SAA20680 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Apr 1995 18:12:25 -0700 Received: from crow.csrv.uidaho.edu (root@crow.csrv.uidaho.edu [129.101.119.223]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id SAA20674 for ; Fri, 14 Apr 1995 18:12:24 -0700 Received: from pain.csrv.uidaho.edu (pain.csrv.uidaho.edu [129.101.114.109]) by crow.csrv.uidaho.edu (8.6.9/8.6.9) with ESMTP id SAA09862 for ; Fri, 14 Apr 1995 18:12:21 -0700 Message-Id: <199504150112.SAA09862@crow.csrv.uidaho.edu> To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: [2.0R] news server memleak?

It seems that while some seperate interface cards for the Sony CDU-31 and CDU-33 support IRQ operation, most sound cards that include a Sony interface don't. I'd like to take a crack at adding this kind of support to the driver; it really makes a difference in a multitasking environment not to have to poll the device. I've found that this make a big difference under OS/2, and probably would under FreeBSD as well. Would there be any interest in this? Also, any suggestions as to how I get started? I have never written a unix device driver, but I have a fair amount of experience programming real-time systems under VxWorks (which is not all that different) so at least that's a start. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions as to where to look for examples, books, or how to go about getting started I'd love to hear them.

( both a compilation of the "current" sources that was ftp'd around April 2nd, and the 2.0-950412-SNAP ) I am using an Adaptec 2842 VL SCSI adapter, with a Micropolis 1.05 GB SCSI HD (sd0), a TEXEL CD-ROM Drive (cd0), and a SyQuest 270 MB removable cartridge drive (sd1) attached. I had run the 2.0-920210-SNAP from the for approx. 3 weeks, at which point, about the first week in April, I compiled from the "current" sources. Everthing ran fine until the first of this week when I added the SyQuest drive to the SCSI bus. I was able to fdisk, disklabel, and create a new filesystem on the drive, and things worked great under _light_ use. However, when I attempted to copy the contents of /usr/src ( 110 Mb, as we all know ) to the SyQuest mounted on /mnt, I got about half way through the copy when I began getting a kernel message that sd0 ( the 1.05 Micropolis disk ) had timed out. I got the message about 8 times, and then the system appeared to hang. After doing a hard reset, I found the root filesystem (sd0a) was damaged beyond repair ( by me, anyway ), and I was forced to attempt to reinstall everything I then proceded to download ( Using Windows NT ) the bin distribution of the latest ( 950412 ) snapshot, onto the SyQuest drive. After getting the boot, and cpio floppies installed, I attempted to install the bindist from the DOS Partition on the SyQuest drive. Again, about halfway into the process, I began getting the timeout messages ( now for both drives ), and I was forced to reboot the machine. This is where I gave up. I have looked into the obvious problems, i.e. problems with either of the disks, improper termination of the SCSI bus, excessive SCSI bus length, etc. But I'm not sure what is causing the problem. I do know that everything works fine under Windows NT, with native support for the 2842. ( although I'm not sure that this is a fair comparison ) Any advise, help, or suggestions would be appreciated.

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was wondering about tape compatibilities between DAT tapes for different versions of Unix. I am currently running a SCSI Wangtek DAT tape drive under Freebsd 2.0, and tapes I create can be read by all other DAT drives I've tried it on. However, when I try to make a tape to bring home, the only thing that seems to be able to create tapes that I can read is a 486 running BSDOS. Tapes created on our Sun DAT or the DEC Alpha DAT can be read. All I get is a Tape error.. Do these DAT's create some specialized propriety format that we just don't support, or am I not configuring something correctly on my system? Any help appreciated.

I can reproduce the problem at will by doing something like: find /disk1 -print > /dev/null & [run about 6 of the above commands in the background] find /disk2 -print > /dev/null & [run a couple of the above commands in the background] After about 30 seconds or so you will start to see timeouts. It looks like the data corruption you saw was due to the fact that after a while the I/O that is timing out will be completed with garbage. E.g. the finds start printing stuff like /usr/src/sys/AAD,kjhet2@#$098 not found Only there are lots of really strange characters in the filename. I suspect that this might be related to writes on the disk, since I've also seen this happen if I do something like: cd /disk1 touch a b c d e cd /disk2 [start doing some I/O on disk2] after a bit you might see timeouts If I do a sync before doing the cd /disk2, then there isn't a problem. I suspect that the finds die out when sync runs to flush the i-nodes back to disk to update the directory access times. > I have looked into the obvious problems, i.e. problems with either of > the disks, improper termination of the SCSI bus, excessive SCSI bus > length, etc. But I'm not sure what is causing the problem.

I am trying to run a UUCP site that is connected to the Internet via an account with a service provider. That's the easy part and is fully configured... mail to anywhere other than my domain is succesfully transferred. However, I wish my domain to feed client sites, and just cannot seem to get it done. It is not a matter of connectivity so much, since my client uucp sites can dial in and drop off mail, (and can pick up mail if it exists.) With certain configurations, using "mail uuclient!shane" works, but I'd really like to use shane@uuclient.mydomain.com As far as I can tell, it all comes down to rulesets and sendmail. Can anyone who is currently running a site as described above attach their .mc file for perusal? shane ----- Shane G.

I messed up, I think, the drive info when doing an fdisk in FreeBSD and it wouldn't boot to DOS from the hard drive (but the boot manager let me boot into FreeBSD). However I can boot to DOS using a floppy disk. Next, I tried to do a fdisk /mbr (in dos) to let me be able to boot to DOS. Now when the computer boots up it says invalid disk or no system files (paraphrased) and asks me to insert a disk I can boot from and press any key to continue. I still can boot from a floppy into DOS however. The DOS system files are still on the DOS disk (I checked). My two questions are: 1) How do I get the computer to boot up into DOS again without a disk? 2) How do I get the boot manager installed once again so I can boot into FreeBSD? Please help as this is real annoying! Thanks, Mark Bynum bynum@cs.fsu.edu
