I don't think I need the OS/2-style real-mode INT-13 driver. The WD1007V is running under the OS/2 ST506 driver. OS/2 does know the real geometries, but it uses the fictitous geometries. Anyway, I think we may have miscommunicated somewhere. What I am complaining is that the disk driver did not use the BIOS geometries, which is used by DOS, Linux, and OS/2 sharing the disk system. I may be naive, but all it is needed is a BIOS call to get the fictitous drive geometries during the boot up process prior to switching to the protected mode. The WD1007V can then be treated just like a ST506/ST412 interface. All of the geometry translation and spare sector mapping are done by the controller firmware. I think the problem is that the disk device driver is too smart for its own good, since the WD1007V is a hybrid between the old MFM/RLL interface and the new IDE.

I tried a lot of other things and make the wd1 error about changing d partition size ... going away. I still have the same panic error about cannot mount the root partition, right after the message about npx0: INT 16 ... I still think it is an incompatible problem, but not knowing how to deal with it. The WD1007 is listed as supported in the FAQ.

I think that I`m not alone in this case. I think that a cdrom would be interesting perhaps by a kind of subscription for one year for exemple 6 cdrom prepaid to cover the cost. An dialup internet connexion is generally expensive when you add the price of the provide and the phone bill. the cdrom could also contain the archive of the news since the last cdrom.

Hmmm... I think this is an excellent idea... Jordan? What are the chances of Walnut Creek offering a FreeBSD-SNAP subscription? I'd happily pay for a monthly or semi-monthly CDROM.

Well, if there was an easy way to upgrade from snap to snap without overwriting any files that you have changed for a particular setup... Please correct me if there is an easier way than to log and save the changed files, or writing scripts that will install the new snap but check the dates on the files since the last snap and prompt for verification. I guess I want a kind of interactive sup, that can accept as input the date of the last snap (or any date), then update the files that haven't changed and prompt for those that have. This would be of help even for people with out the FreeBSD SNAP subscription.

A virtual consle is like a pty, but contains device state information for the console hardware as well.

A pty is just a pipe with cannonical processing on one end (the slave end) so that programs think they are using a tty. > I also understand that the number of xterms is limited by the number of > pty's. That's right. Xterms use pty's to make the programs running in them (like your shell) think they are talking to a physica device. Telnet, rlogin, screen, and other programs all use pty's to fool programs into talking to them. The 'p' in 'pty' stands for pseudo -- it's a pretend tty.

I have installed FreeBSD and NetBSD on several WD1007's. These controllers have some intrinsic problems with using a translated "perfect" geometry. The first problem is that the geometry is not available to BSD at all. You have to ask for geometries in real mode because you have to do an int 13 AH-8 to get them. That leads us to the second problem, which is that the BIOS chaining order for a controller is not going to necessarily be the same as the BSD (or Linux or whatever) controller recognition order. That means that given an INT 13 AH=8, an AL of 0x80, 0x81, 0x82, etc. will represent drives "C:", "D:", "E:", etc., but there's no way to map these drive numbers to the corresponding protected mode device. If this works for you, it's an accident, and if you change the device build order in the kernel or the chaining order of the controllers, you may just find the other protected mode OS's not working, or you can change the device order by building a new BSD kernel. The practical problem will still be there: the code can't be written to universally recognize these devices unless you make the boot time something unreasonable and regcognize the drives via a checksum/CRC of some early sectors on the drive that will be the same translated and untranslated. No, Linux doesn't do this either. You just got lucky. Linux doesn't give up as easily, and that just means you are in terrible danger of losing random sectors from Linux as you hit bas blocks running DOS. > The disk is perfect, since all of the bad spots have been remapped > to the spare sectors. This is a controller firmware feature, just > like the current IDE or SCSI drives. OK, this is a *drive* firmare feature for SCSI and IDE. The problem with this being controller firmware in the WD1007 is a two level problem. The first level is that the "perfection" of the drive only exists if you access the drive through the BIOS. This was the gist of my previous posting about VM86() based drivers. This ordinarily wouldn't be a bad thing if the replacement sectors were put all in one spot at the end of the drive. Now we come to our second problem. Linux and BSD and any other protected mode OS that doesn't use the BIOS uses sector addressing for the drive. That is, they use the first sector on the drive, the 535th sector on the drive, or whatever... the sector is a linear offset from the start of the drive. When a controller uses BIOS to pretend the drive is perfect, there's two ways to do it. The first is to pile all the replacement sectors at the end of the drive. The second is to take every nth sector from the start of the drive and "reserve" it as a "spare". Obviously, when you are not using BIOS based I/O, unless this is done in hardware, the BIOS geometry will include gaps that are hidden from the BIOS using OS. These gaps will be painfully visible in a protected mode OS not using the BIOS. Basically, what this means is that the sector umber you get by adding up the C/H/S values and multiplying them by the real or fictitious or whatever geometry that was used to write them will result in a sector offset that is at the wrong place in protected mode. In fact, the protected mode geometry will be off by however many "reserve"sectors were hidden between the start of the disk and the offset you arrive at. So sector 0 is o, sector 1 is 1, and sector 49 is actually sector 52, for instance. The further into the disk you go, the worse it is. This is what is called "non-linear" translation. This is what the WD1007 uses to get "perfect media". Generally, if you have your controller set this way, you can only use a whole disk for a protected mode OS -- or the protected mode OS must start at the front of the disk before there are any "spare" sectors so that the protected mode code can find the disk. No what happens if you use a protected mode OS this way, and you put a BIOS using OS on the same disk? Well, the first bad sector that you hit in the BIOS area of the disk is going to be remapped to one of the "spare sectors" on the disk. This could easily be some important binary on your protected mode OS's disk area, although it probably won't be because of it being statistically unlikely that it will get a hit. Of course, some day it will, and then you'll be screwed. My personally suggestion would be to turn off "perfect media" mode on the WD1007 after backing up the data you want to keep and then reinstalling the OS's on the drive. If if you stay using Linux, be aware that Linux itself is just "cheating" to find the start of it's partition, and you are going to be screwed anyway sooner or later because of this. > I do have a DOS partition on the first drive.

I still think it is an incompatible problem, > but not knowing how to deal with it. The WD1007 is listed as > supported in the FAQ. The controller *is* supported. The problem is in the use BIOS code to present "perfect media" in a way that can't be predicted by a protected mode OS. Even if the WD1007 algorithm was hard coded in BSD ED driver, it will not save people who have other controllers that have use non-linear reanslation, or people with WD1007's that have the mode turned off. I don't expect this to happen in the next release because of this.

Not possible until the configuration is totally data-driven. That means at least one more hump to get over where there will be a destructive install. In point of fact, there is so much love of history in the /etc directory that I expect this to streach out into 9 or ten humps.

Upon return, ES:DI points to the parameter table of the drive. This table contains the ficticous geometry of the drive which is used by DOS, OS/2, and Linux fdisk programs. For example, the drive I am having problems is a Maxtor XT4380E. Its real geometry is 1224 tracks by 15 heads by 36 sectors/track. The WD1007V reserved the last two tracks so there are only 1222 tracks available. Since I use spare sectors, the 36 sectors per tracks are indexed from 0-35. Sector 0 is invisible (ST506/412 standard I think) and used to remapped a bad sector on the particular track. If there are more than 1 bad sector, the whole track will be marked bad. So, in reality, my disk drive now has only 1222 tracks by 15 heads by 35 sectors/tracks. To bypass the INT 13 limitation of 1024 cylinders, the drive was mapped into 636 tracks by 16 heads by 63 sectors/track. Unfortunately, since the WD1007V predated the IDE, it responds to a READ_PARAMTER command by returning the true geometry, instead of the usable geometry of 1222 cyl. x 15 hd. x 35 s/cyl. I think this is what confuses the device driver. Also, all of this is done by the firmware, without the disk BIOS. The ficticous geometry is actually stored on a space within the last two tracks. Once it is set, the controller BIOS can be disabled. The drive will still behave correctly if the CMOS disk parameters are set the same as the "ficticous" parameters. I think the bios geometries can be obtained early during the boot up process before switching to the protected mode. These parameters once initialized do not need to be accessed in the real mode again. They should also be used rather than the real geometries so that the drives can be shared between DOS or any other OSes that can recognize the ficticous geometries. > > The disk is perfect, since all of the bad spots have been remapped > > to the spare sectors.

Any accesses within the preset ficticous geometries will be silently remapped to the real geometry by the drive controller, a lowly Intel 80188 CPU. To a protected mode OS, the controller is nothing more than a set of I/O registers. Anyway, thanks for the comments. I will be trying to load FreeBSD on a different system with a SCSI disk system. When I have chance to look at the source code and to compare it against Linux, I may understand what has gone wrong with the WD1007V. I am still waiting for the ESDI disk system to go south so I can upgrade to a modern system. Watching the free fall of disk drive price during the last year or so has also been fun.

That wasn't the slackware crew, it was TransAmeritech (who are NOT the Slackware crew - that's Patrick Volkerding, and he has nothing to do with TransAmeritech. I deleted this mail without answering it as I have absolutely no time to deal with Linux's port problems on top of the ones I already have with FreeBSD's ports, sorry! If the Linux folks take our packages, and they're always more than welcome to do so, then I expect them to SUPPORT their own.

The computer has a PS/2 type mouse. I cannot seem to get X Windows to recognize the mouse properly. The /dev/psm0 device exists, and I have modified the configuration file to reflect a PS/2 mouse, however the X Windows server will not start up. When I modify the configuration file to reflect a PS/2 mouse and use /dev/tty00 the X Windows server will start, however the mouse does not respond. When I cat /dev/tty00 it does not receive any input from the mouse. Attempting to cat /dev/psm0 and /dev/mouse results in a cannot open file message.

It turns out that commands with no data have never worked via "scsi" (yikes). That is fixed in -current, and I'm on to two new problems: 1. We need to be able to specify the timeout (the default is 2 seconds, which is not going to work well for formatting your disks) 2. We need to account for disks that can't be opened by the disk driver before formatting. The first problem is easy, the second might be.

I guess my next question is how can I reformat a problematic SCSI disk since I'm running SNAP-0412 and not current. The controller is a Buslogic 445 - and they don't provide a SCSI format utility. If it's necessary, I can format the disk on an Adaptec 1542 (which does have a formatter), but I'd rather not do that, since it'd involve disassembling two machines.

Try this. It should work if you can open the disk. If you can't you'll have to either upgrade to -current when I fix that problem (and I haven't yet) or you'll have to use your 1542. This will do a "Test Unit Ready". You have to change the "0 0 0 0 0 0" to "4 0 0 0 0 0" to get a format. Let me know how it works out. #include #include #include #include #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fid; scsireq_t *scsireq; if (argc != 2) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s device\n", argv[0]); exit(-1); } if ( (fid = scsi_open(argv[1], O_RDWR)) == -1) { perror(argv[1]); exit(errno); } scsireq = scsireq_build(scsireq_new(), 0, 0, 0, "0 0 0 0 0 0", /* Change to "4 0 0 0 0 0" for format */ 0); scsireq->timeout = 20 * 60 * 1000; /* 20 minutes in ms */ if (scsireq_enter(fid, scsireq) == -1) { scsi_debug(stderr, -1, scsireq); exit(errno); } exit(0); } -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

Some folks set up a very secure system, others bypass the security completely (although that seems insane to me).

It really depends on how many applications you're going to install, and how much of the source code you want to be able to browse through. I think 200 megs will get you either a good look at a lot of source, or a fair number of applications, or a limited mix of both.

OK, this unfortunately misses the point, which is that with BIOS chaining, it's impossible to reliably determine which DOS drive is which target on which controller. The closest you could come is to CRC known areas of the drive before going into protected mode, then CRC them again once you are in protected mode to find out which DOS parameters map to which drives. Since yours isn't a multiple controller situation, this rules that out, and it's not a boot misidentification problem where the BSD can't find it's own drive, but the BIOS *can* find and load it.

As long as this is done in hardware rather than in BIOS, this type of remapping will be invisible. I believe that at least some of the bad sectoring is handled by BIOS. I make this claim because the translated geometry you indicate is 636/16/63. This implies that the 0-35 number you gave for the 1222/15/35 should really have been 0-63. This implies that the spare sectors are all over the drive, except for the first cylinder and each LCF 35x64 cylinder subsequent to the first that happens to have the 0's matching up. As I've said before, I've installed several WD1007's with both the FreeBSD and NetBSD distributions, and I've used this congruency to pick DOS and BSD regions such that the first sector of the second region happens to fall on one of these blocks (the second being BSD). This works for this particular non-linear translation model because the BSD's I installed had BAD144 handling and the WD1007's particular non-linear sector/track replacement algorithm doesn't cause cylinder skips for cylinders marked bad. > Unfortunately, since the WD1007V predated the IDE, it responds to > a READ_PARAMTER command by returning the true geometry, instead > of the usable geometry of 1222 cyl. x 15 hd. x 35 s/cyl. I think > this is what confuses the device driver. OK, this is pretty much irrelevent. Bruce Evans is the guy to answer this more definitively, but I believe that the geometry is only relevent during the BIOS phase of the boot process: that is, where the geometry is catually seen as the fictitious geometry anyway. There is one place where the protected mode OS needs the geometry. When the boot occurs, the BIOS reads the MBR off the first available boot device. Then it jumps to the MBR. The MBR contains a table called the DOS partition table; this contains the C/H/S offsets, and for some releases of DOS, the absolute sector offsets as well. The MBR goes to the location given by the active partition and it reads the OS specific boot track from the start of the OS specific partition. In DOS, this is typically msdos.sys; in BSD, it is the BIOS boot code that was written out when the disklabel command was run. The BSD BIOS boot code uses BIOS calls to locate the root partition by reading the disklabel. Once there, it uses BIOS calls to read the requested file off the root partition, since it has a very basic understanding of the UFS file system. By default, it will read the file "/kernel" by scanning inode 2 (the "/" directory, by definition) for the "kernel" file. Actually, I don't think it understands any subdirectories or anything -- I think it can only read a file in "/". This is the point where it (effectivly) is now in protected mode, and jumps to the kernel to begin executing. All disk I/O past this point is done using the disk driver in the kernel. And here is where the possible failure modes start to stack up. 1) If the disk was using non-linear translation, it's possible that part of the disklabel, the root inode in the 'a' slice, one of the directory blocks before the file "kernel" in the root directorythe inode for the kernel file, or one of the blocks in the kernel file itself happened to be on a "spare" block where the BIOS couldn't read it. This is because they are written by the protected mode OS and not by BIOS. 2) If the geometry is non-linear, the absolute sectoring will be different. It used to be that the protected mode OS used the fictitious geometry exactly once, to translate the C/H/S values from the disklabel to find the 'a' slice for the kernel to mount root. Now it's passed in by the boot as an absolute sector offset, but if the translation is non-linear (as it is with a WD1007 in "perfect" mode), then what will happen is the newly booted kernel will not be able to locate the BSD partitions, and therefore will not be able to locate the disklabel, and therefore will not be able to locate the 'a' slice and therefore will not be able to mount root. > Also, all of this is done by the firmware, without the disk BIOS. > The ficticous geometry is actually stored on a space within the > last two tracks. Once it is set, the controller BIOS can be > disabled. The drive will still behave correctly if the CMOS > disk parameters are set the same as the "ficticous" parameters. The BSD disk driver uses a reset command to the drive; this is likely to kill the translated geometry for the drive. This has two possible effects: 1) No effect. The geometry is only useful for turning a C/H/S value into an absolute sector offset in the BIOS to conform to the INT 21 BIOS interface which stupidly used C/H/S values instead of absolute sector offsets from the initial IBM design. Once the protected mode OS is running, then there is never a need to refer back to the geometry ever again unless you do something like mount a DOS partition (in which case, this would probably fail for non-linear translation because the FAT entries would not really point to where they ought to). A worst case scenario is that you can't mount your DOS partitions. 2) Catastrophic effect. This would happen if the translated geometry adjustments were actually made in firmware, but based on the geometry from the BIOS. A controller reset would change this -- the result being the 35/63 discrepancy discussed earlier not only "happening" to take place, but being forced on the user. The problem in determining if this is happening is that I don't know if the cylinder sparing that the WD1007 does is always based on the real geometry or not (one scholl of thought says it should be to avoid this problem and the other school of thought says that this would mean a bad sector is a bad sector, but a bad cylinder would take a hunk out of 1-2 cylinders when it went (depending on whether or not it was spanning a fictional boundry). > I think the bios geometries can be obtained early during the > boot up process before switching to the protected mode.

But as I said before, they are only ever used at boot time, since protected mode OS's don't use BIOS calls to do disk I/O, they don't use C/H/S values -- and with absolute sector offsets, the geometry is irrelevant. > As I explained before, the feature is provided by the firmware, > not the controller BIOS.

If you want to continue to work on loading the ESDI, let me know, and I'll give whatever assistance I can.

I suppose I will tie each port to a specific IP address, but am having trouble with the actual implementation. I was trying something like this slip-start script contains /usr/sbin/sliplogin `tty | tail -b 6` and has permissions 2555 and is in the SLIP group sliplogin has permissions 4550 and is in the slip group And no person is in the slip group. So ideally, everyone would have to run slip-start, it gives them the slip group, they can then run sliplogin which set's their UID to root so that they can sliplogin with their TTY as their login name. However, this all falls apart because [for some reason] the user isn't able to run sliplogin. Root can run it just find, and if a user is in the slip group, they can run it fine, but the setgroup ID thing doesn't seem to be doing much for it. Any ideas on a workaround? Thanks, -Jerry.

I've gone through the Diskless.FAQ and the netboot.doc several times to look for obvious problems and haven't come up with anything yet. bootpd and tftpd seem to be working properly. I'm invoking netboot.com from DOS on the client, and the boot process proceeds to the point where the /tftpboot/cfg.x.x.x.x file is read. The contents of that file are echoed on the screen and the boot sequence fails shortly after that claiming that permission was denied for the NFS mount of the swap partition. I've tried several several permutions for the filesystem in /etc/exports (exxport to the client, export to everyone, export the entire filesystem, export mount points only, etc) -- no luck. Any suggestions on what else I can try would be greatly appreciated. As a side experiment, I also decided to see what would happen if I didn't specify a swapfs value in the tftpboot config file. Sure enough, I got past the above problem and the kernel successfully loaded and the boot process began. Everything went well until it tried to change the root file system to the NFS-mounted root partition. The ip address of the NFS ROOT was displayed as 0.0.0.0 and not the address that had been specified via the rootfs command. Seems like something is out of whack with the bootstrap code. Do I need to specify some extra options in the kernel configuration for s diskless client? Everything is stock 2.0-release code. Both machines are 486-based machines with VL slots and 16 MB of memory. The "server" has been running for several months now, so I feel pretty confident that this isn't an inherent hardware incompatibility. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rajeev P.S.

This flag doesn't do what you apparently think it does. This fag does not result in implied semaphoring between processes that might use the memory segment. Instead, what it does is notify the kernel that the memory may contain semaphores, and that special handling of accesses to the memory might need to be handled by the kernel. Since there is no kernel preemption possible, an atomic test-and-set or other two stage user space semaphore implementation does not need special protection by the kernel to prevent simultaneous access. Thus it's a noop. I expect that the SMP version will have to take this into account (as a matter of fact, I can see no way that this would not be automatically implied on an SMP system, although a kernel preemptive system might need some type of hint, so maybe it's only applicable to uniprocesser kernel multithreading when you think about it). What you need to do is use real semaphores, assert them prior to queue traversal, and deassert them once traversal is complete. This applies to queue insertion and deletion, and basically any operation that will result in pointer contents in shared memory being updated. These are pretty basic architecture requirements with regard to shared memory.

If I assign 50MB or 100MB to "/" and tried it again, the system crashed with error messages: bad block 65535 mode= 0104525 inum 11521 fs= /mntn /mnt: bad block Panic: ffs-valloc: dup alloc The drive is a Maxtor XT-4380S and I use (318 cyl 64 hd 32 sect). What should I do to get this going? The system saw the HD, the CD, and the floppy drive. 2) AND 386 PC with WD IDE disk controller and a Future Domain Corp TMC-850MER SCSI controller for the CD-ROM drive. The system can load the initial software onto the hard disk but it did not see the CD-ROM (can't mount /dev/cd0). So, I cannot do much with the system. What can I do to fix this? Please help!

The mapping is linearly from 1-35 sectors/track to 1-63 sectors/track. Sector 0 is always invisible. The controller firmware ignores the spare sectors during the translation. The 63 sectors/track mapping was very popular few years back and used by ESDI and RLL controllers to overcome the 1024 cylinder limit of INT 13, since these drives tended to have 1224 or more cylinders. > > If you want to continue to work on loading the ESDI, let me know, and > I'll give whatever assistance I can. > Thanks for the assistance. I found out that the BSD partition (slice) does not have to be within 1024 cylinder for boot up, just the root partition. So I change my geometry to 1222 cyl. x 15 hd. x 35 spt, and it seems to work. Still not sure why the 63 spt geometry is causing problems. I have used the same drive using the 63 spt translation with DOS, OS/2, Linux, and an ancient System V Rel. 3.0 (ESIX variant) a long time ago.

Paris) Subject: Problems with zp0 driver in 041295 SNAP? Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi. Since I knew about FreeBSD around one month ago I challenged myself to put it to run in my company's LAN using Ethernet. Since then, I have been facing all kinds of new challenges. I have a Notebook computer (a NEC Versa V/50, with 20 MBytes of RAM and enough hard disk space for the basic stuff). Because of this the first thing I did was to change my Xircom PCMCIA Ethernet card for one of the supported cards (a 3Com Etherlink III 3C589 card.) At the very beginning I did not know that Xircom's cards are not supported because Xircom does not give technical information about them (stupid, isn't it?) so I struggled a little with it. Then, when I realized that and got my 3Com card, I said to my self: "Now you are in bussiness Eloy, at last you'll be able to surf the Net using your FreeBSD box." Guess what: I was wrong!!! I have been fighting with the zp0 driver for about 4 days and finally I decided to give up until somebody say something about this. What's the problem? Well, the zp0 driver sees the card but then when it reads the card information to make sure it has what it is supposed to have (after the driver has written the I/O base address and the IRQ), there is nothing there. I compiled the if_zp.c file with the symbol ZP_DEBUG defined but I could not tell what is going on since I do not have any technical infomation about the card nor the PCMCIA controller. But this is not all: the weird part is that after each time I reboot my computer with FreBSD the Card Information Structure (CIS) of my card gets corrupted. After this corruption I can not get into the 3Com's configuration program (for DOS) for this card (3C589CFG.EXE) because the program aborts with the message "Corrupted CIS. Please replace card with a good one and try again." Thanks God I found in 3Com's BBS a program to clean the CIS because if not I would not even be able to use Ethernet under DOS (that I am doing pretty fine.) I tryed everething. I compiled the whole kernel changing the I/O base address and the IRQ and nothing. I configured the card under DOS and then Ctrl-Alt-Del and nothing. Something very weird is going on here. I do not know if it is the combination of my NEC Versa with the zp0 driver or what. I would like to know. If somebody is interested, I can mail to the list(s) the debug information the zp0 driver is sending to the screen. Also, if somebody gives to me technical information about the 3Com card and the PCMCIA controller I could try to find by myself what is going on. Any help or pointers will be appreciated as well as your experience with this card under FreeBSD. See ya. Eloy.- -- Eloy A.

Naturally, I'm concerned about the security implications, and was quite happy when I found that ypserv contains support for tcp_wrappers (tcpd). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to actually get it to work. :( The man page has this to say about tcpd support: | Security | ypserv has support for Wietse Venema's tcpwrapper package built in, | though it is not compiled in by default since the tcpwrapper package is | not distributed with FreeBSD. However, if you have libwrap.a and tcpd.h, | you can easily recompile ypserv with them, thereby enabling its 'se- | curenets' features: you can configure ypserv to only handle resquests | from machines listed in the tcpwrapper configuration files, which would | help limit vulnerability to the first limitation listed above. I was running tcpd 6.3, which doesn't have the required tcpd.h, so I upgraded to tcpd 7.0 - this went without a hitch. I linked tcpd.h to the ypserv source directory and modified the makefile as follows: |CFLAGS+=-Wall -DTCP_WRAPPER=1 -DTCPW_FACILITY=LOG_AUTH |CFLAGS+=-DINSTDIR='"/usr/sbin"' -L/usr/local/lib -lwrap Running make results in the following: root (100) % make cc -O2 -Wall -DTCP_WRAPPER=1 -DTCPW_FACILITY=LOG_AUTH -DINSTDIR='"/usr/sbin"' -L/usr/local/lib -lwrap -c dnslookup.c cc: -lwrap: linker input file unused since linking not done cc -O2 -Wall -DTCP_WRAPPER=1 -DTCPW_FACILITY=LOG_AUTH -DINSTDIR='"/usr/sbin"' -L/usr/local/lib -lwrap -c yp_svc.c cc: -lwrap: linker input file unused since linking not done cc -O2 -Wall -DTCP_WRAPPER=1 -DTCPW_FACILITY=LOG_AUTH -DINSTDIR='"/usr/sbin"' -L/usr/local/lib -lwrap -c yp_xdr.c cc: -lwrap: linker input file unused since linking not done cc -O2 -Wall -DTCP_WRAPPER=1 -DTCPW_FACILITY=LOG_AUTH -DINSTDIR='"/usr/sbin"' -L/usr/local/lib -lwrap -c server.c cc: -lwrap: linker input file unused since linking not done cc -O2 -Wall -DTCP_WRAPPER=1 -DTCPW_FACILITY=LOG_AUTH -DINSTDIR='"/usr/sbin"' -L/usr/local/lib -lwrap -o ypserv dnslookup.o yp_svc.o yp_xdr.o server.o server.o: Undefined symbol `_hosts_ctl' referenced from text segment *** Error code 1 The most obvious question I have is why am I getting the 'Undefined symbol' error - the hosts_ctl function seems to exist in libwrap.a.

Can anybody tell me what the current state of the development for ISDN drivers is? I've heard that Dr. Neuhaus cards are already supported by the latest SNAP release. Since Dr. Neuhaus cards are kinda expensive I am more looking into Teles cards. Aren't they more common, too? Will there be any support for Teles or other widely known ISDN cards?

And my SCSI drive is split in half with the first half also being a MS-DOS partition. The last half of the SCSI hard drive is going to be devoted to FreeBSD. Why? My FreeBSD environment is goning to be my UNIX learning environment for right now because I am still only a student in college. The MS-DOS partition is on cylinders 0 to 511 when the enhanced disk Geometery was turned off out of 1024. When I tried it with the enhanced disk geometery software supplied with the SCSI controller, MS-DOS was on cylinders 0 to 65 out of 130 cylinders. FreeBSD was then installed on the second half of the drive. The boot_flp and cpio_flp parts of the installation went okay. The problem starts after it asks the system to reboot. The boot manager on the first drive(IDE) deos respond with the option menu: F1 dos F5 disk2 default F? The system then responds with a message saying that there is no operating system. I then reboot to the floppy disk, but at the boot: prompt I havetried putting other things such at the following to direct it toward the FreeBSD partition: sd(0,a)/kernel sd0(0,a)/kernel But it still can't locate the root directory. Going back over the procedure a few times, I checked the debug screen while the system process the info after you assigned the partitions and proceeded on with the installation. the debug screen would display: WARNING: Calculations don't match ... Does this have anything to do with the problem.

I guess the system you log into is shared machine like a gateway machine, right ? And you want to connect the peer and gateway by PPP(iij-ppp) NOT a your terminal(?) and gateway. This means your peer's password in ppp.conf is out of your control..either plain text nor crypted one ;-) Anyway current iij-ppp doesn't has a such a functionality that passing a user and passwd by prompting you when connecting to a peer interractivly. But if you have a two connection to gateway, one is using for invoking a ppp as Interacctive mode. o Invoke a ppp with your configuration i.e. ppp specgw o Rewriting a login scritps with your password on ppp prompt i.e. set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: ppp word: ppp" o dial on ppp prompt.

Clearly this is a sufficiently common problem that 3COM has had to build a fix for it; it's kind of silly that that program is not built into the configuration program if it's that common. Since 3COM is aware of the problem, I'm betting that some clue to the cause could be had by contacting 3COM. If their BBS is cheaply accessable to you, you might try posting a question about what is causing the corruption, and then let the author of the driver for FreeBSD know what to do about. At the very least, the information about how they fix the CIS would be useful, since breaking it must be doing something similar.

Sounds to me like you don't have a mail queue defined on your Novell server, or Mercury doesn't have the name of the queue defined properly. Check SYSCON to see if you have a mail queue defined, and if you do then try typing "ADDQ queue-name" from a DOS prompt. If you don't then create one and then do the ADDQ. Of course you'll need to be logged on as Supervisor to do these.

No. It uses freewais which is buggy as hell. It never worked quite right under 1.1.5.1 and I never even got it compiled under 2.0, mainly because of a lack of time.

What is the general sequence of my actions when installing the port? Any info/hints/pointers to the appropriate documents will be greatly appreciated. Also, maybe someone can recommend any other/better mailer instead of elm (I believe, it's not too easy to install pine?). I'm running FreeBSD 950412-SNAP without XFree on this machine.

I'm surprised that the machines work at all... union mounts are not the most reliable of filesystem options under FreeBSD 2.x. AFAIR we haven't got the latest round of fixes to unionfs yet, and it's pretty unstable. This may be your problem.

The "vat" program (v3.4) runs but I get no sound and no indication of any on the meters. The "showaudio" program (from MetaMail) seems to play the first buffer OK, but I don't hear anything after that, although "printk" statements show the writes are issued. When "vat" runs, I see constant calls to DMAbuf_input_ready, which seems strange to me. I thought this should be called to read the mic. I don't see any calls to sound_write_sw or to the routines in vat_audio.c. I assume the audio packets are available, since machine I am trying to get "vat" working on is one end of a tunnel forwarding onto a net where other machines can pick up the audio. I assume I have some configuration problem, but the current sources fail linking because DMAbuf_start_input is declared "static" in dmabuf.c, which concerns me. I got the same behavior in 2.0-950412-SNAP. I am under the impression that the SB16 was not supported in 2.0, but would gladly try that if someone says it might work. The board, of course, is working fine under Windows 95 on the same system. Stephen A.

I'm experiencing some problems connecting to a xyplex via SLIP. I'm able to connect to it to start slip from the xyplex side and to start it from my side. Everything is fine and when I do a telnet or a ping I see the modem sending data, and receiveing small amount of bytes but nothing happens and all my pakets are lost. I did: >> Connect to xyplex >> ifconfig sl0 inet myaddr xyplex_addr mtu 296 netmask 255.255.255.255 >> route add default xyplex_addr >> Start slip on xyplex side >> slattach -s 38400 -h cuaa1 telnet ping don't get to any host. No errors are reported except a timeout on telnet. slstat shows that packets are sent but only bytes (in column) are received and no errors or collisions occur. netstat shows a referenced interface and shows some numbers in the use column. I tried different combinations of mtu, slip cslip different netmask but it's always the same result. I also disabled the T/TCP feature from my system. Anyone has a clue of what is happening? Thanks.

The 16550 fifo trigger level is set very agressively (to 14) to maximise efficiency. Dynamic adjustment of the trigger level (to 8, then 4, then 2, then 1) after silo overflows is #ifdef'ed off. A level of 8 would probably work for all 386/16 and faster systems with only 4 ports, provided they don't have bus-hogging DMA controller. You currently have to edit the sources to change the level.

Are the routing tables setup to send packets to SERVER1 in order to get to your machine? This can be done a couple of ways. 1) You can create a permanent ARP entry in SERVER1 for your host, which causes all network traffic to your box to be addressed to SERVER1, which already knows how to get to you. This way works if you will always connect to SERVER1 and your SLIP address is in the same subnet as the machines you are connecting to. 2) Create an route entry in SERVER1 to let all of the machines on that network know that to get to your SLIP box you must route all of the traffic to SERVER1. This is the most 'dynamic' approach, but it requires that all machines on the network be running routed or other routing software. > SERVER1 Ethernet interface = server1.domain1 > SERVER1 slip interface = server_slip.slipdomain > myworkstation = ws1.domain1 (at work) > freebsd at home slip = myslip.slipdomain. (1.1.5.1 with IPFORWARD and GATEWAY > options compiled in ) These aren't necessary if your slip machine doesn't have a network of machines it is connected to which need to use your SLIP connection as their connection to the world. > Any ideas ?

The only machine (as from the route table of SERVER1 and a couple of other workstations on domain1) that knows how to get to me is SERVER1 itself. But, there is no route entry from its slip interface to my FreeBSD interface present after slip is up and running, nor is there any arp entry. Also, it shares the same default gateway as for any other boxes on the same domain. I was under the impression that, when slip process is enabled on SERVER1, a route from SERVER1 slip interface to my FreeBSD slip will be added automatically (as with ifconfig etc), but surprisingly that is not the case. > > This can be done a couple of ways. > 1) You can create a permanent ARP entry in SERVER1 for your host, which > causes all network traffic to your box to be addressed to SERVER1, > which already knows how to get to you. > This way works if you will always connect to SERVER1 and your SLIP > address is in the same subnet as the machines you are connecting to. Yes, the reason of my original posting is that I do not have the right to add arp or route to SERVER1 since the slip is not for permanent use, but every user gets assigned 1 of 2 slip address. SERVER1 is a HP server running ppl and for each users, his/her assigned slip address is in ppl.user file. I guess I should make the question much clearer that, is there any way of getting SERVER1 to route traffics into my box without having to get the admin people to do so ? > > 2) Create an route entry in SERVER1 to let all of the machines on that > network know that to get to your SLIP box you must route all of the > traffic to SERVER1.

Obviously, the CD-ROM from Walnut Creek CD-ROM is the most practical method for obtaining this release. It is my understanding, however, that FreeBSD version 2.1 will be available in June. What is unclear to me is if it will be generally available on CD-ROM that soon. I am undecided about purchasing the current version, installing and configuring it, and then trying to upgrade it next month, or just waiting for the next release. Would you be so kind as to advise if version 2.1 will be available as an upgrade to version 2.0, or if I will have to purchase the full OS as new. Also, I would like an updated (projected) release date for version 2.1, if available. I have your catalog, and have scanned the FAQ's, but found little concerning the next release, although it's a sure bet to be out before Windows 95 (or 96,...97,...). Your assistance is, as always, most appreciated.

For networks that don't change much but are overloaded it also keeps down traffic.

For example, a remote user starting Trumpet newsreader via a PPP connection gets the connection refused - an undefined gethostbyaddr error gets logged to the syslog. Eudora can't connect either - it just hangs while attempting to log in. Telnet closes the connection almost immediately, before a login prompt is seen. I have temporarily worked around this problem by including everything on my network in my yp hosts.* map. I believe that the problem may be with my DNS database, but I'm not sure. I can query with nslookup and all appears normal - both forward and reverse lookups give the expected results. I'm not sure when this started. I have made some recent changes to my configuration: added NIS, upgraded to tcpd 7.0 (with -DPARANOID), and made a few routine changes to my DNS database (added a couple of hosts). I'm stumped at this point - anyone have any ideas where I should continue looking? I don't think that this is a BIND/NIS interaction - I've tested this with NIS not running and get the same results.

You need to set up a simple filter program, designated via the :if=/some/path/shellscript option of printcap which sends an escape sequence to the deskjet, changing the way it thinks about CR's and LF's. The one I cobbled together convinces the deskjet to look like a simple ascii printer. #!/bin/sh echo "^[&k2G" cat exit Look at the docs that come with the lpr daemon source and also the lpr man pages. The exit line above is vital. Also look at the deskjet's printer escapes - you should find that the ESC & k 2 G sequence convinces the deskjet to change its interpretation of LF's and CR's. If you really want great things from the deskjet, you might want to install ghostscript. Some earlier posts to this list covered this.

You either need to add a permanent ARP entry on the SLIP server system (then your SLIP client needs an IP address out of your Ethernet IP subnetwork number), or you need a route to your SLIP client broadcast somehow (be it a static route advertised by a friendly router, or a route advertised from your SLIP server via gated). "routed" is a "dumb" routing daemon and doesn't watch for changes in interfaces (ie, when your SLIP server's SLIP network interface is configured and active). So, even if routed is running on your systems, it probably won't notice when your SLIP link comes up. > > Nate Hope this helps. Perhaps you could look over the SLIP server tutorial (available under "http://www.freebsd.org/How/") and see if it sheds any light on the problems; even though the SLIP server doesn't appear to be FreeBSD, the routing issues are the same.

I was told on Monday afternoon that the CMU SNMP V1 and V2.1 that I have on ftp://joy.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu/pub/plains/... does not compile for -current because the entries inp_next and inp_prev have been removed from the inpcb structure in /sys/netinet/in_pcb.h. In fixing this problem, I realized that when I ported V1 for FreeBSD 2.0-Release, I broke the ARP code for both V1, V2.1. Fixing that and testing some more, I found an error in the networking 4.3 compatibility structure "ortenty", namely the kernel variable _rthashsize is not being set. So I HACKED that be to of size 1. I have not put the changes out on the ftp site yet because, I am waiting for conformation that my changes work for FreeBSD-current. I expect this to happen in a couple days. In the future, the whole CMU SNMP should be re-worked to use 4.4 networking code (instead of 4.3 compatibility code) and needs to include more of the sysctl() routines instead of calls to kmem. --mark.

But I was not success because I do not have a cdrom reader that can be recognized by BSD. So, I copied part of the BSD source code to my hard disk, and install from it. Then, I am able to install the basic system, the help mannual. Recently, my hard disk crashed. I think it is the Boot Manager program that cause the problem. Before my computer crashed, I was using NORTON utility. The NORTON told me that a samll program was trying to write something to my boot sector, then it asked me whether I want to solve the problem. Then I press yes and the system reboot. My computer crashed. When I first installed the BSD, I installed the boot manager so I could choose to boot from dos or BSD. Seem like the boot manager write something to my boot sector of my hard disks and destroy my dos partition table. When my partition table was destroyed, it gave a the message "invalid partition table" when I rebbot my machine. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO DELETE THE BOOT MANAGER OR HOW TO SOLVE IT? Even though I have re-installed all my application, I still get the message that a program is still trying to write something to my boot sector. I afraid that it will crash my hard disks again. I bought my FreeBSD 2.0 in Jan 1995, can I return and exchange it with linux slackware because I don't have the hardware to install BSD. I can pay for the shipping and handling. If I can exchange my FreeBSD with linux slackware, what should I do? Thank you very much.

It's at the standard place - ioaddr 220, irq 7, drq 1. I have "controller snd0" and "device sb0" configured. My machine's parallel port also uses irq 7, but I have it disabled in the configuration. When I try to push an 8-bit u-law file out /dev/audio, I hear the first little bit (like .25 to .5 second) of the sound file, and then it hangs. Hitting ^C stops it. Trying it again results in another hang, at exactly the same place in the sound file. I'm running -current, if that matters. What do I have to do to make this work?

My CD Rom is IDE, rather than SCSI, so I had to transfer the files from CD to a DOS partition on the disk, and then install from there. Now, I'm trying to add more applications (XFree86-3.1, etc). I read in one of the docs that was on the disk that I type /sbin/pkg_add to add more packages. When I do this I get the fdisk/disklabel screen, but when I hit P to proceed, it just goes back to my shell. I am doing this as su. Also, I am looking for some good BSD system administration books. I have had university unix accounts for a few years now, but I haven't had any experience on the administrative end. I managed to get FreeBSD on my DX2, alongside DOS and OS/2, but I can't seem to figure anything out with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It's what several other people use to backup freeBSD networks and what Walnut Creek will be using RSN to backup their system. I'm not sure what you mean by selective. Selective occasionally, or all the time? In the amanda config file you specify which machines and drives you dump. >Where is the list of compatible hardware? Specifically tape drives? For netowrk backups you need large tape drives, which normally means a SCSI device. Exabyte (8mm) drives are meant to be good.

The full results are at http://140.109.40.248/~taob/fbsd-apache.html for those interested. I tried a few more tests since then, and a couple of questions have popped up. One is the "mb_map_full" problem. I *know* I've seen this question before, but I didn't save it, and now I need to know how to increase the number of buffers (if in fact that is the problem). I get this message when trying to max out the number of simultaneous HTTP requests. The script I run contains the following line repeated 100 times: lynx -source -dump http://140.109.40.248/Bench/test.html > /dev/null & Yes, it is horribly inefficient to use Lynx in this capacity, but that's besides the point. ;-) If I run this script from a Sparc20 on the local Ethernet net, the load on my server will jump, but eventually all the requests are served (test.html is a fairly small file, only a few K in length). However, if I try this from a machine in Toronto (20 hops away, through several gateways, slowest link being the 256kbps trans-Pacific link), not a minute passes before I receive "mb_map full" kernel messages.

Release a new one twice a year or so. That would I over-estimated, the latest round of indexing only takes around 170 meg. (A df instead of a df -k, oops!). If the ports/packages collection were moved to a separate disk, the mail archive could fit on the main disk. I'm also investigating some software that generates compressed indexes and preliminary results show the total database size to be about half the uncompressed size. > be a blessing for FAQ maintainers.

Yes and last night I updated the indexed archive to be current, except for the bugs list which causes waisindex to dump core. However, there appears to be a gap of a month or two at the end of 1994.

I was musing to myself about setting up some FreeBSD X terminals in our library with multi-tray CD-ROM drives and have some sort of search engine written. Of course, users would also be able to use Netscape and telnet to access other databases around the world. The big disadvantage is that DOS/Windows machines already have a giant head start in terms of front-ends for accessing proprietary database CD-ROM's. :( > Yes and last night I updated the indexed archive to be current, Great, thanks very much! I've found the answer to one of the questions I posted (as I suspected). I'd love to have all these messages tucked away on a CD-ROM or two for reference. -- 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 May 5 07:46:15 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id HAA29155 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 5 May 1995 07:46:15 -0700 Received: from gemsgw.med.ge.com (gemsgw.med.ge.com [192.88.230.10]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id HAA29148 for ; Fri, 5 May 1995 07:46:13 -0700 Received: from gemed.med.ge.com by gemsgw.med.ge.com (4.1/GEMS-1.1) id AA08489; Fri, 5 May 95 09:46:38 CDT Received: from sol.sol.med.ge.com (sol-gw) by gemed.med.ge.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA24589; Fri, 5 May 95 09:46:59 CDT Received: from sunshine.med.ge.com by sol.sol.med.ge.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA24446; Fri, 5 May 95 09:46:22 CDT From: laufen@sol.med.ge.com (Derek Laufenberg x7-4534) Received: by sunshine.med.ge.com (4.1/client-1.3) id AA17989; Fri, 5 May 95 09:46:20 CDT Date: Fri, 5 May 95 09:46:20 CDT Message-Id: <9505051446.AA17989@sunshine.med.ge.com> To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: YP/NIS question.

The drive and controller work fine, as they now boot OS/2 with no problems (I'm not keeping OS/2 on the drive). FreeBSD boots fine from the floppy made from the CD-ROM under DOS -- it seems to detect all of the devices installed on the machine -- but it doesn't seem to be able to see the drive. During installation there are no drives listed. The docs say that FreeBSD is compatible with Future Domain 8xx controllers -- although I noticed that the older FAQ states only the 950.

I'll post it here where it belongs. Many people seem to be using 'expect' or something similar to cause their systems to reconnect to the net upon abnormal termination of their dialup PPP (or maybe SLIP) connection. However, most Internet providers do dynamic address assignment of PPP connections, so when you reconnect, you never have any idea what IP address you're going to get. Now, I'm sure most of you have had the experience of having the call drop right in the middle of a hot'n'heavy FTP session, or MUD or IRC conversation, or whatever, and frantically reconnected immediately, and gotten the same IP address, and saved the TCP session(s) in progress. I know I have. That's not my question. I'm talking about when you're at work, or offsite, or away, or just plain gone, and your computer redials automatically. Once it's reconnected, how in the world do you figure out what it's new IP address (or even name) is, so you can talk to it again from wherever you are?

If you *really* want to make sure nothing happens, modify init to ignore the signal and no matter what it will get ignored. If you want to make it clean AND configurable, make init read a file to determine if it's supposed to ignore the signal.

If you can't do a sync, chances are you can't signal pid 1. Besides, init does the same thing as you are attempting to do by killing processes and syncing the disks anyway.

Ah, my next two questions already answered. ;-) I ran an 11-hour test with NCSA httpd 1.4 last night with 4 local Ethernet clients and 60 remote clients. No problems with NMBCLUSTERS set to 1024. Doing a 'netstat -n | grep ^tcp' showed between 450 and 520 open connections, almost all in TIME_WAIT and nearly 16K in the send queue (not surprisingly, all to sites across the Pacific). I haven't done the analysis yet, but it looks like NCSA's preforking helps out a whole lot here. I'm guessing about 600,000 accesses per day with a load average of less than 1.00. :) 'systat -mbuf' shows this: /0 /1 /2 /3 /4 /5 /6 /7 /8 /9 /10 Load Average | /0 /5 /10 /15 /20 /25 /30 /35 /40 /45 /50 /55 /60 pcbs XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 94 socknames XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX data XXXXXX headers XXXXX Ummm... what should I be looking for, if I think I'm running out of mbufs? Add up all the X's and see if they exceed NMBCLUSTERS? How about checking a kernel's NMBCLUSTERS setting?

Doing a >'netstat -n | grep ^tcp' showed between 450 and 520 open connections, 1024 probably isn't enough, then. I'd recommend increasing it to 1500. Note that this will consume 6MB of memory. > Ummm... what should I be looking for, if I think I'm running out >of mbufs? Add up all the X's and see if they exceed NMBCLUSTERS? How "netstat -m" and make sure that the "mbuf clusters in use" remains well below NMBCLUSTERS. For instance: 17/44 mbuf clusters in use ...indicates that the kernel has allocated 44 mbuf clusters (escentially the peak usage since the system has been up) and that it is currently using 17 of them. The '44' will increase up to a maximum of NMBCLUSTERS. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 5 21:48:38 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id VAA22664 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 5 May 1995 21:48:38 -0700 Received: from grep.cs.fsu.edu (grep.cs.fsu.edu [128.186.121.152]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id VAA22658 ; Fri, 5 May 1995 21:48:36 -0700 Received: by grep.cs.fsu.edu (8.6.9/56) id AAA13262; Sat, 6 May 1995 00:48:34 -0400 Date: Sat, 6 May 1995 00:48:34 -0400 From: Gang-Ryung Uh Message-Id: <199505060448.AAA13262@grep.cs.fsu.edu> To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: FreeBSD-current Cc: hackers@FreeBSD.org Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, all!!

Did you know that all devices have default addresses? Try looking at /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC for a list of what's been compiled into the GENERIC kernel. You can always change this by using the -c option when booting, but a better method (so I feel) is to gen yourself up a custom kernel, with the address at c8000, instead of the default d8000. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 Sat May 6 11:36:14 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id LAA16826 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 6 May 1995 11:36:14 -0700 Received: from winky (winky.reno.nv.us [140.174.194.250]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA16816 for ; Sat, 6 May 1995 11:36:11 -0700 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by winky (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id LAA00136 for ; Sat, 6 May 1995 11:29:13 -0700 Message-Id: <199505061829.LAA00136@winky> X-Authentication-Warning: winky.reno.nv.us: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: mgetty and ppd Date: Sat, 06 May 1995 11:29:11 -0700 From: Eric Blood Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to setup mgetty. The problem is pppd (I look forward to giving ijj ppp a try) can't dial out because it says the device is in use. There are no locks in /var/spool/lock, but both /dev/ttyd1 and /dev/cuaa1 are owned by uucp. Mgetty is configured in /etc/ttys to be on /dev/ttyd1 and ppd has been using /dev/cuaa1 for the past couple of months. Is this the correct orientation (ie is mgetty supposed to be using /dev/ttyd1 and ppd /dev/cuaa1 or the other way around)? BTW, I'm using a Jan or Feb SNAP.

You might want to check heartbeat status on the card; a lot of DEC equipment likes it, while most other equipment on the face of the Earth hates it horribly.

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I am very new to FREEBSD, I just installed the bin series. I read all the docs on X11R6 but for some reason none of the executable relating to X work. I first installed bin series from floppies and then installed X from my DOS partition. It installed fine withous any error msg's. What's going on here? I thought the generic kernel is supposed to support X. Also, is there any way I can install the other series (e.g. dict, proflibs etc., and maybe X11 too, again :( from withing FREEBSD? Or do I need to use the actual installation program? Thanks.
