FreeBSD is similar to 4.4BSD especially in terms of doing userland types of things.

Yes , the default crypt() in FreeBSD 2* is MD5 based, because of certain restriction for DES source code's redistrib. outside US. So the encrypted passwords look different from those encrypted using DES > > If I upgrade FreeBSD with the DES stuff, will they then use the > same scheme? Yes , DES is pretty standard. I would recommend to everybody in US who's about to install FreeBSD to use _DES from the very beginning , especially if you have other Unices as well . It's quite possible that you'll have to move accounts or to run some auth. servers on FreeBSD. If you stick to DES you'll be able to exchange password files freely between different Unices/machines. Assuming that those use DES too, of course I have a Q: has any1 here modified passwd source code - I remember one I used to have on SCO . In that scheme admin was able impose some restrictions on new password , from that very good one was: users were not able to choose passwords themselves - the pronouncable passwords were generated for them by the program itself. So when the user saw the funniest/easiest_to _remember one, he/she just retyped it back to the program. Little paranoid , but worth to use - I'm pretty sure that on ISP's servers ~30 % users have the same password as their login name. And we have unused ( yet?) field in the master.passwd , which we probably can use ? Or keep the track in separate DB ...

Specifically, that 'X' is no in my path. I haven't got round to installing 2.0.5 so this is just a guess. If you aren't using the csh are you exporting the path that you set in your .profile? if you don't export the path in sh/ksh etc you may find that the exported default path doesn't contain /usr/X11R6/bin.

I run my genuine NE2100 at 0x360 IRQ 9, DRQ 3 and get similar messages stating that it just missed a packet because it didn't have a buffer for it. Recently I picked up an NE200 clone for another machine but haven't tried it. With 2.0R my console was flooded with these messages from the lnc0 driver. Ftp rates were 50k to 100k bytes/sec between dropped packets. One of the snaps practically cured the problem, and now with 2.0.5-ALPHA it only pops up ever 50k packets or so.

The question is, how do you turn it off automatically? Setting led states with "xset led" doesn't work (in only turns my Scroll_Lock on and off), and you can't use xmodmap to turn Num_Lock off as a modifier, because xmodmap wants the key to be released before it will do the change, so it goes into a loop. kbdcontrol doesn't seem to have anything relevant. Is there anything I can do to configure my machine on boot (or in xdm) so that Num_Lock will be turned _off_ by default? (Please respond to the below address, as the machine I'm sending this mail from is not receiving mail at the moment.)

NT is too slow, the networking is instable (Token Ring, Novell net) Login processes into the Novell server get not closed properly and all sorts of problems. My problem is that FreeBSD does not support Token Ring hardware. I can get around this by placing a third PC acting as a Novell router between the two networks (ethernet<-> TR). Though it still has to be proven that FreeBSD can access the Novell NFS server over TCP/IP and if perforemance will be sufficient over the router. Another problem is that the end users there are absolute UNIX neophytes and will hardly be willing to use vi and shell commands (unless we write some specialized scripts). So here my questions: Is there a EDT for FreeBSD (SEDT)? What else user friendly editors are there (which are not already in /usr/ports)? Is there - yes you read right - a NC ("Norton Commander") for unix? Is there something else than xfilemanager? Does xfilemanager run under FreeBSD-2.0? Thanks. --Chris Christoph P. U.

For the console you may have to fiddle with termcap a bit. For a vt220 it has no problems at all It came as a package some time ago, around 1.1 I think. Here is the +DESC file from the package: ------------- DECO is a visual screen shell for the UNIX operating system. It is analogous with famous "Norton Commander". DECO can be used with any UNIX terminal, attached to UNIX operating system. The terminal must have direct cursor addressing mode and 80-character screen width. DECO uses all possibilities of your terminal - keypad and functional keys, colors, line drawing character set. User's Guide is available in PostScript format. DECO is not freeware. It is available free of charge for free unixes only, i.e. for FreeBSD, NetBSD, 386bsd and Linux. If you need DECO for commercial Unix platforms, please send e-mail to . It will cost you money, however. Regards, Serge Vakulenko -------------- I don't remember it on any of the archive sites I've visited lately so you may have to use archie.

Actually, the man page for tip is out of date. There is a generic Ha yes dialer already built in. Just use ``at=hayes'' in your /etc /remote file. The answer is almost right. 'tip' (as configured) doesn't understand this as far as I can tell. If you try this tip displays an error message complaining that it doesn't know about 'hayes'. The solution is to edit the file /usr/src/usr.bin/tip/tip/tipconf.h. Obviously you need the source distribution to do this. Edit the line "#define HAYES 0" to "#define HAYES 1". Then "make" and "make install". Everything works nicely after that. I hope this information proves useful to someone else.

Good question, want to write one? >2) Is there an example of kernel config file for this > purpose ? (minimal) That depends on what kind of firewall you want to set up. The simplest thing would to be to have the the FreeBSD box act as a bastion host with two IP interfaces (e.g. two ethernets or one ethernet and a PPP link to the ISP), disable ip forwarding (sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=0) and install proxies for everything you want to pass through the firewall. For this you simply make a minimal configuration for the machine and install your proxies of choice. I recommend a look at TIS' firewall toolkit (ftp://ftp.tis.com/pub/firewalls/toolkit). It comes with excellent documentation, including general thoughts about firewall concepts. There is a general firewall FAQ too. Browse http://www.tis.com and you'll find pointers in all directions. >3) Are there any specific problems causing FreeBSD firewall ? I haven't run into any yet. I've successfully set up a firewall consisting of a screened subnet that's visible from the outside and a hidden internal network using FreeBSD. In fact, we'll be using FreeBSD exclusively for firewalls and general servers (http, ftp, etc.) for our 1500 people company soon.

As far as I am aware, xhost performs its intended function, however it's intended function leaves certain windows of vulnerability, as you point out above.

I assume this is because 204.57.120.200 get changed to a valid address on connection and Netscape started with .200 and wants it to be that from then on. ??? (for instance I did this message on oasis with PINE and pinged my ISP to open the connection before mailing it so PINE wouldn't hang saying it was sending mail then puke with couldn't send mail or some suck^Hh) 3) I REALLY dont like using his domain internally!

O'Lear" Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk It looks like you are having a nameserver problem (or NIS). My guess is your nameserver(s) are on the other end of the SLIP connection. When you are connected via SLIP the nameserver responds to your queries (although slightly slow because of the SLIP speed). When you disconnect from the SLIP line, there is no way to reach your nameserver(s) and the host lookup calls take a long time to timeout. Try commenting out the "bind" and "nis" lines from your /etc/host.conf file and try netstat -r or -i. You should get a response with no delay. If this is much faster, make sure that you have the local nameserver (not through the SLIP line) listed first in /etc/resolv.conf file (and uncomment the "bind" and/or "nis" lines again if you need them). Also make sure that all external nameservers actually are up and running (use host, nslookup or dig) when you have your SLIP line up. If you have only a few (less than 20) hosts on your local network (through the ethernet card), try putting all local hosts in the /etc/hosts file and make sure the line "hosts" appears before "bind" and "nis" in your /etc/host.conf (do this especially if you have no nameserver on your local network). That way when you have no SLIP line up, you can get to all your local hosts lightning fast, and only use the nameserver (through the SLIP line) when you need to access something outside of your local network. If you are using NIS (and the problem is with NIS), I cannot help you, although I believe NIS is very slow normally but not 40+ seconds slow.

Date: Wed, 05 Jul 1995 17:00:40 -0700 From: Mike Tisdell Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have FreeBSD 2.0.5 and am using the ppp (iijp) provided with FreeBSD. I am having the following problem using gated with the ppp(x) interfaces. gated will not do output RIP packets on these interfaces. gated will output any RIP flash updates, but will not put out the periodic updates. RIP functions fine on an ethernet and a frame relay interface, but not on the ppp(x) interfaces. both tcpdump and gated packet trace confirm that gated is not providing the standard RIP updates. Also in the gated trace file I can see that gated has a problem finding the ppp(x) interface because of a netmask mismatch. If I ifconfig the netmask to 0xffffffff then gated finds the interface o.k. but is unable to install a kernel route for that interface. Has anyone seen this? Does anyone have an clues on how to fix this? I am not currently on this list so please respond to me directly.

In fact we are going the same direction in our department. We will be using two FreeBSD boxes for our firewall. However, we are still having problem with the x-gw of TIS fwtk-1.3.

I did this and it about scared me how fast the netstat -r and -i returned... it was almost instantious, display just as fast as my terminal could... so the heart of the problem was not having a reverse name server file...

As a result, we want to run a local FreeBSD mirror, as many of them (and us) will be wanting the source. We already have a mirror setup via "mirror", but that program is not very efficient. We would rather use sup. I looked in the sup FAQ, but couldn't find a distribution that mirrored _all_ of FreeBSD. Is there a way to mirror all of ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD via sup?

The problem is that the Irix machine is trying to talk to the statd/lockd pair on the FreeBSD box in order to accquire an NFS lock. Unfortunately, the specs to statd/lockd are a well kept secret by Sun, so no free or or publicly ducumented version exists. Until someone has the time and patience to reverse engineer them, I fear that FreeBSD will continue to lack NFS lock support. Perhaps Irix has an option to disable locking on an NFS partition? -- Justin T.

I just thought I'd check here because of the large installed FreeBSD base, most of whom are probably using sendmail. So, on to the questions: 1. Does anyone have an available configuration which bounces messages to unknown user at that site immediately, rather than after the hop count has exceeded? I.e., I'd rather know immediately if someone has sent something to xyzzy@my.domain rather than having sendmail try and deliver it 17 times... 2. How do I use firstname.lastname type mailnames? The comp.mail.sendmail FAQ explains how to do it for firstname_lastname, but this isn't an option for me at the moment (unfortunately). I've RTFM'd, and trawled through the sendmail.cf file, but I can't see anything that looks remotely like it might aid me in what I want to do. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I found a Tripp-Lite model 450LAN at a surplus sale. Judging by the model name, I gather it's supposed to support LAN servers up to 450 VA. It was new, I think, but I got it for a great price for the time, $200. Today, you can find similar VA ratings for far less. I used it to support three AT&T 3B1s for a couple years, and it never failed. I've had it for about four years. Many times per month I can hear it bragging -- beep, beep -- about how it saved my hide :-) It's cheap; it takes a couple milliseconds (?) to switch from straight through to its own inverter, but modern PC power supplies will ride out quite a bit of outage, up to a quarter second easily. Also, it doesn't put out true sine wave, but a kind of square wave, which PCs generally like well enough. I've ridden through outages up to several minutes with my PC, modem, monitor and printer all smiling at me. Generally, I think UPSes tend to be rated for twenty minutes at their power rating. This means a 450 VA unit should support 300 watts for perhaps thirty minutes. To save money, I might be tempted to buy a unit with only a minute's worth of capacity, since outages in this area seem to last only a few secondS, but I don't know if anyone makes such a thing! Anyway, for the price nowadays, I'd suggest getting about 50% to 100% overcapacity, so you can hang other useless stuff on it like a TV. For brand name, I like this Tripp well enough; I'd go for a well-known name like Tripp, Best, APC and the like. > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- > Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data > chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. > 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | > Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx > (301) 220-2114 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- One man's experience; take it for just that :~) Chuck Bacon -- crtb@helix.nih.gov From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jul 7 08:15:48 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id IAA15674 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Jul 1995 08:15:48 -0700 Received: from lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (lupine.nsi.nasa.gov [198.116.2.100]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA15668 for ; Fri, 7 Jul 1995 08:15:47 -0700 Received: (from mnewell@localhost) by lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (8.6.12/8.6.12) id LAA28368; Fri, 7 Jul 1995 11:13:32 -0400 Date: Fri, 7 Jul 1995 11:13:32 -0400 (EDT) From: "Michael C.

I have a Tripp-Lite 500P 500 VA and a Tripp-Lite 450LAN (it's proclaimed to be "Internet Ready" on the box; this means it's got a telephone line spike suppressor built in... :-) Both seem to work quite well. I use the 500P to power my main server *INCLUDING* the monitor and modem; I've pulled the plug on it a couple of times for as long as 15 minutes without the system noticing. I paid right at $200 for the 500P and $180 for the 450 at CompUSA; you should be able to do much better from Computer Slogger mail order. The thing that's missing from these guys is there's no test output that tells the system they are connected to the state of the power; hence there's no way for your system to gracefully shutdown once the unit reaches their limits. In my case I have the same problem you do - short outages mainly caused by thunder storms; I was looking for a surge suppressor (those outlet strips are pretty useless) as well as a backup unit. I had about 4 outages in one week so I decided to buy the backup units; since then (of course) no new outages occur. I bought the 450 to do field testing of some radio equipment; I charge it up, then turn it off and drive off to where I want to test. I then plug in the radio equipment and turn it on; works great. Once I've finished those tests I'm going to install it on a Sun Sparc 10 server that we have in our office (that's why I didn't just buy a car power inverter - I wanted the UPS for the Sun eventually).

Usually UPS'es come standard with DB-9 like socket , on which there are 2 or 3 pins ( TTL) which change the voltage on them during power failures - so it's pretty easy to analize the output from them via some simple program ( say using the pin which goes to 1 when there is problem as DCD, so you'll be able to open the port only when the power disapears) and take appropriate actions w/o wroting actual device driver :) Even dumb( back-up ) UPS often have this connectors.

Neither of the two Tripp-Lite units that I own have such a connector. I've been sorely tempted to open the box and add bufferred lines off the front panel LEDs, but that would be a personal hack and would most likely void any warranties... In my case I wasn't too concerned about this feature because (a) the outages here tend to be very short and (b) if the systems do go down gracelessly it's not a really big deal to me. However, if you DO require this feature then you need to make sure it's present on the unit you buy... For me it was better to buy a unit with higher capacity at the same price and sacrifice the status output.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi guys! More boot problems (they're different) 1) Can't boot an OS that's not on the First Drive. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous 4-22 SNAP setup: 486 DX4-100, 12 MB RAM, 540 MB (wd0), 130 MB (wd1) 540 MB - master (freebsd & dos), 130 MB - slave (freebsd swap & dos) With the old SNAP, I could boot FreeBSD (4-22 SNAP) and DOS from the 540MB. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current 2.0.5-6/22 SNAP setup: 486 DX4-100, 12 MB RAM, 1.2Gig (wd0), 540 MB (wd1), 130 MB (wd2) 1.2Gig - master (all freebsd with swap), 540 MB - slave (all DOS) 130 MB - master on second ide port (all DOS) With 2.0.5-950622-SNAP, I can boot up FreeBSD from the 1.2Gig, but booteasy bootmanager can not boot up DOS from the 540 MB. It always stops with the Non-System Disk Error. If I wanted to boot up the old 4-22 SNAP release from the 540 MB, that works. But I can't boot up DOS. So I have tried doing these things (all of these are separate things I have tried doing): a) Remove the 1.2 Gig, set the 540 MB back as Master, and see if I can boot DOS and FreeBSD. They both can boot up with no problems. I guess that means the 540 MB should be bootable. b) Use Fdisk to delete all the partitions on the 540 MB. Use fdisk /mbr to clear the mbr from the 540 MB (this is done with the 540 MB as master with no 1.2 Gig plugged in). Then use fdisk to create the large DOS only partition). No special drivers used (no Ontrack DM). LBA is on from the CMOS. Formatted the 540 MB and installed DOS on the 540 MB) It boots okay. Plug the 1.2 Gig back in, set the jumpers on the 540MB for slave again. Using the bootmanager to choose the second disk (DOS) gives me the identical 2.0.5-950622SNAP boot from the 1.2 Gig. c) If I manually install booteasy1.4 on both drives. Again, it boots up FreeBSD 2.0.5-SNAP fine, but says Non-System Disk Error if I choose Disk 2 and DOS. d) Ok, I have also tried osbs20b8, and it also says non-system disk error. -------------------------- Now I'm stumped. Is booteasy broken when it comes to booting a totally new OS that isn't on the first drive. A while back, I had the 850 MB Western Digital (master) with Ontrack DM on a 386-40 with all DOS, and a 540MB Conner (slave) with nothing but FreeBSD. Same problem. It won't boot FreeBSD, but will boot all the operating systems on the first disk (which is just DOS). BTW, I never did fix this problem... I still use the boot.flp to boot up FreeBSD 2.0.5R. Now the situation here, 1.2 Gig Western Digital (master) without Ontrack DM on a 486-100 with all FreeBSD, and a 540MB (slave) with nothing but DOS. The boot manager will boot the OS on the first Drive, but not the OS on the second drive unless it is also the same. In other words, FreeBSD is on the first drive, so it can boot any version of FreeBSD from either the first drive or the second drive. DOS is not installed on the first drive, so it can't be booted from anywhere but floppy. Any suggestions? I have not tried creating a DOS partition on the 1.2 Gig because I wanted to give it all to FreeBSD. Or is that the only alternative? Is the Linux LILO any better? Thanks in advance for any help.

In my case, the boot record on my second disk had been erroneously written. I do not know which OS was the culprit, so I chose to blame MS-DOS. ;-) The error is that the physical disk number was wrong. Even though it is the first disk as far as DOS is concearned, its number is 0x81 and not 0x80! I didnt' spot this error until running fips, which does a thourough job at checking for irregularities. All that is necessary is to use your favorite disk editor and change the value. After this one bit change, my second disk booted DOS w/o difficulty. I suggest Norton DiskEdit if you can have it, but you can also do this with DOS's debug if you are brave enough. good luck, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

Yep, you're right and it works... I also have a 386-40 system configured the other way DOS on wd0 (which boots okay) and FreeBSD on (wd1 which doesn't boot). And the Disk Editor trick doesn't work (and it doesn't say 128). Now to think about it, I'm not sure if it was 0x81 or 0x80.... PC Tools Disk Editor said 128 originally, but when I used the view info, it say it already was 0x81. I entered 129 (decimal) and wrote it to the hard disk. The reboot works great. Now I just have that one other problem with the 386-40 mentioned above. Thanks for the help.

With smaller au files e.g. laugh.au from the sun collection I was able to interupt the 'cat' but it appeared that all the file had been 'played' at this point. any ideas ? thanks in advance Damian ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Details : Kernel config file : # soundblaster 16 options "ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR" options "ALLOW_CONFLICT_IRQ" options "ALLOW_CONFLICT_DRQ" options EXCLUDE_GUS options EXCLUDE_GUS_IODETECT options EXCLUDE_PAS options EXCLUDE_SB_EMULATION options EXCLUDE_PRO_MIDI device snd2 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 vector sbintr device snd6 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 5 vector sbintr device snd1 at isa? port 0x388 device snd7 at isa? port 0x300 dmesg output : snd2 at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 on isa snd2: snd6 at 0x220 irq 7 drq 5 on isa snd6: snd1 at 0x388 on isa snd1: snd7 at 0x300 on isa snd7: problem file : damian@furry-> ls -l /usr/tmp/hawaii_5.au -rwxrwxr-x 1 damian bin 462217 Jul 8 11:22 /usr/tmp/hawaii_5.au -- Damian Furlong 93A Binn Eadair View Sutton Dublin 13 Phone +353 1 605 3151 Ireland email : damian@furry.internet-eireann.ie From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jul 8 05:17:26 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id FAA24593 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 8 Jul 1995 05:17:26 -0700 Received: from lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (lupine.nsi.nasa.gov [198.116.2.100]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id FAA24581 for ; Sat, 8 Jul 1995 05:17:22 -0700 Received: (from mnewell@localhost) by lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (8.6.12/8.6.12) id IAA29682; Sat, 8 Jul 1995 08:15:23 -0400 Date: Sat, 8 Jul 1995 08:15:23 -0400 (EDT) From: "Michael C.

Actually, I think it is -a- problem. I haven't been able to find anything helpful in the Web pages or email archives. (The answer may well be there, but I haven't been able to find it...) The install goes fine, right up to the point of the reboot. Then it hangs in the boot manager prompt. I'm more than willing to believe this is the classic wrong-geometry problem; but I'm having some trouble determining what the right geometry should be. (The alternative is that I finally have a good geometry, but there is some subtlty of slicing/partitioning that I have wrong.) The platform is an ASUS PCI-486SP3G with a Seagate ST15230N 'Hawk' 4.3G SCSI disk. This is a virgin system, and I have no intention of ever running any other OS on it. The disk docs list a geometry of 3995/19/???. During my first install attempt, the Partition menu listed 4012/19/110 (which does work out to the right size.) But it also kept popping up the 'wrong geometry' warning. Later install attempts listed 4995/19/46 (which also works out to the right size.) Keeping that geometry avoids the warnings. At first, I tried making the entire disk a single slice. (Which actually made a one track unused slice, a huge FreeBSD slice, and a 704 block unused slice...) When this didn't work, I thought perhaps the boot manager was suffering from the 1024-cylinder restriction, so I made a 500M slice and a ~3500M slice. Still no luck. Any concrete advice would be appreciated. (Note that I belong to the the-fewer-partitions-the-better school.) **** Late breaking news. **** This message was delayed long enough for me to try another experiment. When I get the bootblock from the floppy, but manually specify hd(0,a)/kernel, it boots fine. I tried 'disklabel -B sd0', but it doesn't seem to have helped. I now suspect that I need to replace the MBR, but can't find any docs on how to do that... Thanks, -Pat My opinions are my own. For a small royalty, they can be yours as well...

Nope; if you want to use DOS, you either slap a small partition on the first drive, or wander through the DOS bootrecord looking for 0x80, and and change them (one at a time 8) to 0x81.
