I've read the FAQ and know the problem is my CD-ROM interface card is not a genuine Creative Lab/Sound Blaster card. The interface is included on an Ultrasound clone , and the I/O port is at 0x300. After booting with -c to configure matcd0 to probe port 0x300, I get infinite messages : matcd0: get_stat: After reading status byte, bus didn't go idle ff f7 300 After browsing the codes quickly, I know my bus status is 0xf7, rather than the expected 0xff. The problem is : all are new stuff - a new CD-ROM drive, a new Ultrasound card clone, a new FreeBSD 2.05R. I can hardly replace any of these. I am disappointed greatly : in this case, my new CD-ROM is next to useless. Is there any wordround ? I don't mind hacking the codes but I don't know where to start. In matcd.4 and source codes, it's not mentioned whether future work will include improving the compatiblity of those 3-in-1 or clone adapters. If nobody can help me directly, could you tell me the e-mail address of the author of the driver ?

If I connected to another ISP the idle timeout works fine. The problem with the idle timeout for me at the moment is that iij-ppp on my side detects the inactivity locally and brings down the local side of the link (effectively stopping communication with the rest of the world) but doesn't hang up the modem. This means that the modem has to be manually disconnected before the auto dialup works again. Is it possible to force the modem to disconnect after local inactivity when in auto mode ?

I've tried everything from 2 paritions ( both freebsd ( 25mb active one with the / filesystem on) to a full disk as freebsd with a 25mb / filesystem ( this was the old system) all with absolutely NO luck.

I know this is a simple RTFM question for the network enabled. I am network challenged. Once I figure this out I promise to answer the next 25 similar questions in the newsgroup. :) I need to get a networking 101 book. Which one is in vogue right now? The man pages are like all unix man pages, they tell you what you need to know if you already know what to look for. That was the basis of my question, I did not know what a "normal" startup was supposed to look like. Michael Smith wrote: > Ok; can we have a look at /etc/hosts, /etc/host.conf, /etc/resolv.conf > please? What does the 'interfaces' line in /etc/sysconfig look like, > and the lines immediately following it? > > It looks like you don't have a default route. I have no /etc/resolv.conf, nor a man page for it. I installed the etc source distribution and there was not one there either. I thought that I knew enough about networking that if I were uucp only I should comment bind out of host.conf. I know, assumptions get me in trouble. # $Id: host.conf,v 1.2 1993/11/07 01:02:57 wollman Exp $ # Default is to use the nameserver first # bind # If that doesn't work, then try the /etc/hosts file hosts # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line # nis # $Id: sysconfig,v 1.14 1995/05/17 04:46:57 rgrimes Exp $ ... hostname=bagend.atl.ga.us ... network_interfaces="lo0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" # # Set to the list of route add lines for this host. You must have a # route_${static_routes} line for each static route listed here. # static_routes="multicast loopback" route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}" route_loopback="${hostname} localhost" Ah, hosts. That is confusing. The manpage is not illuminating. The only non commented line in hosts is the 127.0.0.1 line. "localhost" is every where in /etc. At first I thought I should do: 127.0.0.1 bagend bagend.atl.ga.us that gave a whole screen full of error messages, as does leaving it: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain I tried this and got obvious error messages: 127.0.0.1 localhost bagend.atl.ga.us What I posted was a result of this: 127.0.0.1 localhost Last night I tried this again: 127.0.0.1 localhost bagend.atl.ga.us and the boot messages, to me, looked more normal: lo0: flags=8009 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 add net 224.0.0.0: gateway bagend.atl.ga.us: File exists add host bagend.atl.ga.us: gateway localhost: File exists starting routing daemons: routed. If that is right, the example is ... not good. Actually the example "127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain" is not good anyway. If it should be editited something other than "localhost" would help. Or, should 127.0.0.1 be something else altogether and should I then edit the imaginary network? # Imaginary network. #10.0.0.2 myname.my.domain myname #10.0.0.3 myfriend.my.domain myfriend What "exactly" should be in /etc/hosts for a standalone system?

The system comes iwth an onboard video card (S3 misc) and hd controller, plus ps/2 mouse and keyboard. FreeBSD runs fine on the system (we isntalled freebsd on the 540 from and existing machine, and moved it over). On booting, we found a small problem -- the keyoard freezes on boot. It can freeze as early as the sc0 discovery at probetime, or as late as several minutes after boot when a user is logged in. We did all the normal debugging -- removed extraneous cards (in this case, only n SMC ethernet card.) No luck. All thist time, the display works fine, just nothing on the keyboard works. The numlock light is stuck on (or off depending on when it locked.) We recompiled the kernel and switched to pcvt, and it works fine (although we prefer sc0.) A similar Compaq next to it with PD/2 keyboard/mouse works fine. The boot prompts/load prompts also receive keypresses fine as far as we can tell (eg., the wd(0,a)/kernel prompt works.) The keyboard also doens't work under X11 unless we're runnintg pcvt. Currently we're using pcvt and xdm on the system, but would like to at least know why sc0 doesn't work. any advice about siilar problems or such would be welcome.

It does not create a \bin directory. The correct command should be: c:\> xcopy e:\dists\bin c:\freebsd\bin The system will reply with: Does BIN specify a file name or directory name on the target (F = file, D = directory)? Enter 'd' and c:\freebsd\bin will be created and filled with the files from e:\dists\bin. The '/s' parameter isn't needed unless there are subdirectories off of e:\dists\bin. i.e., if e:\freebsd\bin\patch\ existed, you'd need the '/s' parameter. -- -=(*)=- Kristyn Fayette -=(*)=- kristyn@gnu.ai.mit.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 17 10:02:27 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id KAA08746 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 17 Jul 1995 10:02:27 -0700 Received: from condor.physics.montana.edu (condor.physics.montana.edu [153.90.240.211]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id KAA08738 for ; Mon, 17 Jul 1995 10:02:24 -0700 Received: (from handy@localhost) by condor.physics.montana.edu (8.6.11/8.6.9) id LAA00387; Mon, 17 Jul 1995 11:02:17 -0600 Date: Mon, 17 Jul 1995 11:02:17 -0600 (MDT) From: Brian Handy To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Increase swap Q In-Reply-To: <199507140830.SAA15737@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Well...I'm still paying for my ignorance when I installed 2.0.5.

I'm starting to get nightmares about system crashes but with no backup media with which to recover. I've tried isolating the drive on the SCSI bus, booting with a tape in the drive, booting with no tape, trying fixed and variable block sizes, trying various magic tricks to kick-start the driver (mt status before, after, or before and after loading the tape; mt rew instead of mt status, etc.) The problems I see, in order of decreasing frequency: * Premature end of tape detected by dump immediately after starting the dump, occasionally accompanied by console messages saying `invalid request, must be between 0 and 0'. * System hangs; requires RESET button to reboot. * Premature end of tape detected by dump some number of blocks into the dump.

I'm curious as to why the following happens. I'm not sure whether or not it's "supposed" to happen. I compiled the "tun" driver in the kernel, and had to see it to believe it. So I enabled it by saying something like: ifconfig tun0 MY.IP.ADDR.ESS OTHER.IP.ADDR.ESS This caused a routing table entry to be added as well. Then in one window I said: hexdump < /dev/tun0 and in another: ping -c 1 OTHER.IP.ADDR.ESS Sure enough, out came the packet on the first screen. Pretty neat! But then when I try to kill the "hexdump" process, I find that it's stuck in uninterruptable disk wait and simply cannot be killed (ie, even kill -9 doesn't work): USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND root 2685 0.0 1.7 204 104 p3- D 9:44AM 0:00.07 hexdump Why does this happen and is this normal?

Specia for the server code. There are some very old ISO standards that cover NFS locking; they are old enough that they are not usefule. The lockd itself is pretty trivial if you have a sniffer. The statd stuff is much harder. Some changes were suggested to the lock mechanisms for support of NFS host ID as part of the hash index on lookup for F_[SG]ETLCK{W}. These would need to go in before any implementation could really make any progress.

To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 17 Jul 1995 18:00:23 -0500 (CDT) Cc: mikebo@tellabs.com (Mike Borowiec) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 5143 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Greetings - I have found some anomolous NFS behaviour in FreeBSD 2.0.5R. Problem 1: FreeBSD attempts to NFS mount a partition from a multi-homed server not on the same ethernet, and the return route from the server to the FreeBSD client is via another interface (with a different hostname and IP address). If done manually, the mount command can be killed. If the mount is in the /etc/fstab file, the machine hangs on startup and must be reset. Problem 2: Worse yet, the mount succeeds and the route from the server to the FreeBSD client is subsequently changed when the server receives a RIP update from its router. In this case, any session accessing the affected partition hangs and can't be recovered. In some cases, the whole OS runs off into the bushes and there's no keyboard response at all... big, red switch time! On comp.os.bsd.freebsd.misc I've had people suggest that I not run routed on the server. Unfortunately, it will not always be possible for a FreeBSD user to dictate this to admin staff, especially when local SunOS machines flawlessly handle both of the situations listed above. Questions refering to the Sniffer data below: o Trace 1 shows everything works fine if you're sure which interface the server will use to talk to the client... if not... o Trace 2 shows that the SunOS 4.1.3 portmapper returns the proper port number for NFS (2049), but FreeBSD complains that Port 797 is unreachable. How did it get 797 from 2049? o Trace 3 shows that SunOS NFS clients don't bother to portmap the NFS port number which is already well known to be 2049. Why does FreeBSD bother to do this apparently useless step? o Trace 3 shows that SunOS is not bothered by the fact that the responses are from another IP address. It seems to know that the two addresses are in fact the same machine. How, and why doesn't FreeBSD do the same? o Trace 3 shows that SunOS does an apparently useless "Null command" which is ackowledged by the server... why? o SunOS is apparently unbothered when the route from server to client changes, while FreeBSD hangs. How does SunOS handle this and can a similar method be enployed in FreeBSD? Anyone have any info on these problems and whether they will be resolved in 2.1R? Thanks... - Mike Sniffer Network Analyzer data: Note that TELLABK and SUNK are different interfaces on the same SunOS 4.1.3 server... both of these networks are connected to a router.

There are huge numbers of people who are just installing it and using it hitch-free.

I know, assumptions get me in trouble. resolv.conf is described in the 'resolver' manual page; it points to local nameservers.

No, 127.0.0.1 is a "standard" number that is always assigned to the loopback interface; it's a guaranteed way of referring to your own machine. You can just call it 'localhost', but some applications want to be able to always append your domain name to the end of any name before looking it up, hence the second name on the line. > # Imaginary network. > #10.0.0.2 myname.my.domain myname > #10.0.0.3 myfriend.my.domain myfriend > > What "exactly" should be in /etc/hosts for a standalone system?

Unfortunately, that was a wrong thing to do. FreeBSD is incredibly good at finding problems with your hardware, but not so hot at telling you exactly where your problem lies. Your assumption that it's your disk is, believe me, not a sure thing at all, and is quite possibly leading you astray. This same kinda thing happened to me, when I first tried bringing up FreeBSD (back at version 1.0). Look at all the other components of your system. What I did, which worked to find three separate hardware problems hitting me at one time, was to pull every board inthe computer except the very barest minimum, then get it working at that point. Once you have that right, you can add in the other boards one by one, and probably find your headache, or at minimum, give enough info to the guys listening here. They really want to help you, but what you've offered in the way of info isn't enough to figure out your problem. Have you a sound card, or a CDROM, network card, etc?

Anyway, here it is : Machine One : at my home - A Cyrix 486DX66 with 16MB RAM, used to run FreeBSD 2.0R before yesterday I installed 2.05R. 2 IDE drives - one 300MB the other is 520MB. FreeBSD sits on the slave drive, 520MB. 2S1P card, and an Ultrasound clone with Panasonic CR-562J CD-ROM drive, which didn't work with 2.05R. I plugged an AHA-1542C, with a NEC 2x CD-ROM drive to install from CD-ROM. After finishing installation, I replaced matcd drivers with current sources to make my interface work. Recompiling and rebooting, with AHA card unplugged. The new kernel told me : failed to mount swap (wd1s2??), and left a shell for me to mount by hands. Ok. I guess it's my fault with the new kernel. I rebooted again with the original kernel : no luck. The same result. I just tried every device name, after failing to make FreeBSD recognize my DOS partition and SCSI cd-rom drive(though AHA was re-plugged in). (FreeBSD seemed to tell me cd0a no such a file or something like that.) I ran MAKEDEV all to recreate them all and tried every device name again, finally worked. The device name now are not wd1s1, but the old 2.0 name wd1b or wd1c. However, today, at my office, I re-compiled another kernel on the machine, which used to run 2.0R before switched to 2.05R : Intel 486DX33 with 16MB RAM, 1 IDE hard drive, 1 AHA1542B card, 1 650MB SCSI hard drive, 2x SCSI NEC CD-ROM, and a Fujitsu magnetic optical drive (which I stll couldn't make work under FreeBSD), 2S1P card. FreeBSD sits on the SCSI drive. I recompiled one new kernel for the hope of being able to use Fujitsu MO, finished it, moved it to /kernel.1, rebooting with kernel.1. This time it was worse, FreeBSD failed to mount root sd1a. Ok. I tried to reboot with the original kernel if this was my fault with the options I gave to the new kernel. It still didn't find the root device, even with the original kernel - panic, sync, rebooting. I just wonder why both the new and the original kernels didn't recognize the device names any more. And these two machines used to run FreeBSD 2.0R well. I hope the information is sufficient. I am more than happy to provide more. -- Yen-Wei Liu From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 18 00:58:35 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id AAA14429 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 18 Jul 1995 00:58:35 -0700 Received: from lin.wsl.sinica.edu.tw (lin.wsl.sinica.edu.tw [140.109.7.3]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id AAA14419 for ; Tue, 18 Jul 1995 00:58:27 -0700 Message-Id: <199507180758.AAA14419@freefall.cdrom.com> Received: by lin.wsl.sinica.edu.tw (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA29243; Tue, 18 Jul 95 15:46:41 +0800 From: Yen-Wei Liu Subject: Re: Fail to mount root after recompiling kernel To: msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au (Michael Smith) Date: Tue, 18 Jul 95 15:46:40 EAT Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199507180629.PAA04992@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au>; from "Michael Smith" at Jul 18, 95 3:59 pm Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85] Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > Ok, so how about telling us about the hardware configurations, and the > kernel config files you used for each?

If your CDROM drive is not supported, you can copy the compressed distribution files to an MS-DOS partition which FreeBSD can read during the installation.

Give the installer the path to the top level of the mirror; for example, in my case I have the CD mounted on /local2/archive/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE, and an anon ftp user logs in to /local2/archive, so I give the installer ftp://202.0.75.2/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE as the source.

Problem: I am running into a problem during the initial copy process (just after I pressed "commit" to install). I get a "write failure on transfer". What I did: I cleaned out an entire SCSI hard disk of 812 Megs by going into DOS fdisk and removing all logical drives/partitions. I followed the instructions to run pfdisk from the /tools directory to find out what DOS expects to see for size/cylinders/- sectors. I ran the install process and set the Geometry to pfdisk's values 812/64/32. I labeled: mount size /usr 100M / 300M swap 80M I commit and watch a bunch of stuff get copied to root. It makes it all the way to /usr/sgames and then gets the "write failure on transfer". Bummer. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

I got it working once, after having exercised the daemon by hand. I suspect that this had the effect of installing a default route, so that when I then ran the daemon in -auto mode, it was triggered by the next attempt to connect to something (in fact it even tried to connect when I telnetted to 'localhost', which seems very strange). However, when I install 'ppp -auto pmdemand' in rc.local, and reboot the system, dial-on-demand doesn't work, doubtless due to the absence of a route. How should I install that route? Via a 'route add' command in rc.local, or via a command in ppp.config, or what? Or is it an ifconfig on the tunnel device, tun0? Examples, please.

Installing directly from CD: Boot-Programm (called from INSTALL.BAT) stops with emm386-Error. 2. Booting from BOOT-Floppy: Booting OK. After going through the necessary steps of preparation (creating and labeling disk sclices and so on) installation starts but produces lots of "invalid header:checksum error" (cpio) and "invalid compressed data--crc error" (gunzip) messages. (shown on the ALT-F2-Screen, seem to come from cpio and gunzip). After finishing of "installation" of the bin-Directory, installation-dialog informs that it could not install and asks for repetition. The same happens for all the other directories. 3. Assumed that there is some problem with the CDROM-Device/Hardware. So I copied the bin-Dist from CDROM to harddisk into D:FREEBSD. Same for the Floppy-Images as shown in Installation Guide. Now trying to install from DOS-Partition: Same preparation as above. Then starting installation. After making root filesystem etc. install tries to copy root floppy image but stops with message "Couldn't get root image from wd0s1! Will try to get it from floppy". Then "Please insert ROOT floppy in floppy drive A and press [ENTER]". Done so. Reaction after some time of loading: "Failed to retrieve piece bin/bin.aa. Aborting the transfer". 4. Proceeding according to troubleshooting hint and booting from floppy in configure-mode (-c). Disabling all devices that seem to be not needed. Then trying once again to install from CDROM. But the same problems as in (2) appear. Whats going wrong? My System: Pentium 50/75 PCI, Adaptec 2940, 8MB Ram, 520 MB Syquest IDE HD, 1024 IBM SCSI HD, Goldstar SCSI CDROM drive, NE2000 compat.

Use your favorite comm program, open up the port and set the bit rate at 1200 bps. If its the right port, you'll see the characters as you move the mouse and push the buttons. I saw that Justin suggested /dev/cuaa0. He's probably right, but I use /dev/ttyd0 and it works also. I use something like kermit for the test. If you can't get a communications program to see the mouse (it looks like garbage, by the way) then you don't have the mouse set up right. There's one other thing. There are several different kinds of mouse. We're assuming you have a serial mouse, but there is about 10 different protocols for that. My mouse has a button on the bottom, to go between two of the popular ones, just to maximize confusion.

Yes, dip is for dialer for SLIP. I finally found a copy of this. The build process seems to be a little messed up, as "file dip" claims that it is a PDP/11 executable.

It looks like you wrote the bootmanage to the second disk; this shouldn't be a drama, pressing F1 at the second prompt should boot FreeBSD.

(i usually read the screen twice because of this.) it looks to me that the boot manager did not get installed on the third disk. (the second scsi disk) you can test this by changing the setup to no ide disks opening the computer, removing the ide cable from the ide drive removing the scsi cable from the first scsi drive and reboot. if the boot manager does not show its prompt, it is not installed. > Isn't there a way to modify the bootmgr without going through the > install?

If I start -auto mode I get 'host is down'. I am using the identical script, a modified 'ondemand' once without auto then with -auto. route add default works so it appears that the -auto is not setting up the route default properly. I believe adding route add default to sysconfig will solve that problem. I have another problem, however. If I enable named, the boot sequence seems to hang at the route add point. If I ^C at that point I get ...clearing /tmp and boot. Bring up iij-ppp first manually then -auto works fine and will time out after 120 secs of no activity. On the other hand, if I wait at the apparent hang, after about two minutes the boot continues. Then if I bring up iijj-ppp manual then -auto, **it will never turn off!**. tcpdump -i tun0 shows my router and my ISP's router exchanging packets ever 30 secs or so. Can some guru tell me what is different between waiting for the boot sequence to time out and exiting from the route add sequence which renders the ondemand feature unusable? jbeukema From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jul 19 20:29:27 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id UAA01240 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 19 Jul 1995 20:29:27 -0700 Received: from genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au [129.127.96.120]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id UAA01187 for ; Wed, 19 Jul 1995 20:29:18 -0700 Received: from msmith@localhost by genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (8.6.9/8.6.9) id NAA09852; Thu, 20 Jul 1995 13:11:43 +0930 From: Michael Smith Message-Id: <199507200341.NAA09852@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: Fail to mount root after recompiling kernel To: ywliu@lin.wsl.sinica.edu.tw (Yen-Wei Liu) Date: Thu, 20 Jul 1995 13:11:42 +0930 (CST) Cc: msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au, questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199507200316.MAA09803@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> from "Yen-Wei Liu" at Jul 20, 95 10:49:54 am Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1275 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Yen-Wei Liu stands accused of saying: > > Yen-Wei Liu stands accused of saying: > > Hmm.

First, modify every blessed makefile in the MH release to modify the targets that contained an action on the same line as a target separated by a semicolon.

It doesn't have to be up, just configured; even a SLIP interface will do. (just mark it as down). > Jan Isley Nothing is permanent.

(LONG) Date: Thu, 20 Jul 1995 01:43:27 +0000 From: "Mike O'Brien" Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have dial-on-demand working perfectly, I think, with IIJ PPP. It turns out that it must be set up exactly right - there is no room for slack in the ppp.conf file or it just won't work. If it's underspecified, the necessary route is not initialized, so PPP is never triggered through the tunnel device. If it's overspecified, the ISP on the other end will be unable to find common ground with you, and PPP negotiations will fail. As delivered, ppp.conf.sample is underspecified. Here are the relevant parts of my ppp.conf file: # # Default setup. Executed always when PPP is invoked. # default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 38400 disable lqr deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" This is stock; I changed nothing. FWIW, the 'lqr' is something like Line Quality Report, which is an info packet that the two PPPs can exchange, gossiping about the percieved quality of the line. Ohno-san has apparently decided he doesn't want to do this, and who am I to argue? FWIW there is a second, optional argument to the 'timeout' command which gives the frequency with which LQR reports should be sent. # # Another on demand example # If peer assign some IP address for us, and we can't predict it # until we make a connection, use 0 as local side address. # pmdemand: set debug phase chat lcp set phone 5551212 set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:-\\r-ogin: YouWish word: FatChance" set timeout 600 set ifaddr 198.147.97.0/24 198.147.97.1/24 add 0 255.255.255.0 HISADDR This is where the magic lives. IIJ PPP is woken up by the receipt of packets destined for the 'tun0' device. That means that that device must be configured, and a route to that device must be established. All those zeroes in the sample file just don't cut it. So, in the 'set ifaddr' command, we say that our address is going to be somewhere in net 198.147.97.0, and that the foreign end is going to be in the same net, and will probably be host number 1. We MUST set OUR address as being in that net, or the route we're trying to establish in the next line has no anchor. Then we set a default route to that foreign host, in the 'add' line. This line must also be there, and must have HISADDR in it, or the route won't be established and PPP will never wake up. Note the '/24' in two places in the 'set ifaddr' line. These must likewise be there, or the interface will be overspecified, and the PPP negotiations that follow login will fail to agree on addresses for the link endpoints. Also, note the 255.255.255.0 netmask in the 'add' command. I believe this is also critical, because otherwise the route won't be commensurate with the interface definition in the previous line. Remember, before PPP has woken up and negotiated a final address, these "prototype" addresses are all the kernel has to work with to determine that packets should be sent to the tunnel device. That means the netmask had better be right, or the route might as well not exist. At least, that's my theory. And, thank goodness, it seems to work: no pings necessary to bring up the connection, just pure, sweet, dial on demand. Thank heavens. Oh yeah, if you want to fiddle, you will probably want to cut down on the logging. The example above is, shall we say, verbose. :-) Glad I was finally able to come up with an answer; I've asked so many questions it feels good to come up with an answer for a change.

Date: Thu, 20 Jul 1995 02:14:47 +0000 From: "Mike O'Brien" Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I forgot to include my /etc/ppp.linkup file in my last message, and I have a feeling it may just be important. It is: pmdemand: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR I believe that this has the effect of cancelling the "prototype" routes set up when PPP initializes itself and the tunnel interface, and replacing them with a more correct route. This route does not seem to expire even when all net connections close; the refcnt stays at 1, probably due to the PPP process itself. Although a different address may be assigned when PPP redials, this route serves its final purpose of routing packets to the PPP process, reawakening it. When the connection is reestablished, reexecution of the ppp.linkup file will delete the old route and install a new, correct one. I confess I haven't tried getting rid of this ppp.linkup file to see if the world breaks. Right now I'd rather not.

You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.

In my case my "provider" (actually it's an internal kind of thing) expects me to announce routes via RIP. So I have to run "routed -s". The default (in /etc/sysconfig) is to set the routed flag to "-q", which means routed only receives routes - it doesn't announce them.

No named, no gated, no default route (aside from the one in ppp.conf), no funny flags to routed. I did try adding some lines to /etc/rc.local which had the same effect as the correct configuration of ppp.conf, but those are commented out now that ppp.conf is doing the job on its own. In fact it was fiddling with those lines (an ifconfig and a route add) that I hammered out the correct netmask, etc., and first got things working.

Perhaps someone can elaborate about the difference in handling the disk geometry. Specifically (regarding SCSI disk at least): o Why does the 2.0.5 kernel complain about partition/disk size mismatch when mounting a partition created by 2.0? o Why does 2.0.5 require you to use the DOS geometry (where the numbers are fudged so that 1 MB = 1 cylinder) as opposed to 2.0 which used the actual disk geometry as stored in /etc/disktab? o Why is there a small blob of disk space left over in the install partition utility? o How is the -u argument to newfs computed in the install utility? It uses some fairly bizarre numbers which are obviously optimized to waste as little space as possible at the end of the filesystem. Also, several people have written to the hackers list compaining about the lack of decent fdisk/partitioning utilities in the OS. I agree, but I've just been using the boot disk utility, and reseting the machine after the newfses are done.

Thanks much, Paul _Unix System Administration Handbook_ second edition by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Scott Seebass, Trent R Hein 1995 Prentice Hall PTR ISBN 0-13-151051-7 from the forward: This is not a nice, neat book for a nice, clean world. It's a nasty book for a nasty world... The fact is that system administration *is* difficult... This book will help you tune your network to maximize throughput, minimiz delay, and avoid single points of failure. It will also give you hints on how to let the good guys in while keeping the bad guys out. --Eric Allman and Marshal Kirk McKusick, August 1994 from me: If you know everything there is to know about BSD, hey, write a better book. If you don't know much about BSD, you want this book. It will answer most of the first couple of hundred questions you are going to have if you are new to BSD. It is 779 pages of answers and it comes with a CDROM full of goodies. It has more readable, findable, immediately useful information than any other two or three books I found in many trips to several "computer" book stores.

However, as FreeBSD 2.0 is based upon Berkeley 4.4BSD-Lite, most of the 4.4BSD manuals are applicable to FreeBSD 2.0. O'Reilly and Associates publishes these manuals: 4.4BSD System Manager's Manual By Computer Systems Research Group, UC Berkeley 1st Edition June 1994, 804 pages ISBN: 1-56592-080-5 4.4BSD User's Reference Manual By Computer Systems Research Group, UC Berkeley 1st Edition June 1994, 905 pages ISBN: 1-56592-075-9 4.4BSD User's Supplementary Documents By Computer Systems Research Group, UC Berkeley 1st Edition July 1994, 712 pages ISBN: 1-56592-076-7 4.4BSD Programmer's Reference Manual By Computer Systems Research Group, UC Berkeley 1st Edition June 1994, 886 pages ISBN: 1-56592-078-3 4.4BSD Programmer's Supplementary Documents By Computer Systems Research Group, UC Berkeley 1st Edition July 1994, 596 pages ISBN: 1-56592-079-1 A description of these can be found via WWW as: http://gnn.com/gnn/bus/ora/category/bsd.html A good book on system administration is: Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Scott Seebass, & Trent R. Hein, "Unix System Administraion Handbook", Prentice-Hall, 1995, ISBN: 0-13-151051-7 [ Note: make sure you get the second edition, with a red cover, instead of the first edition. ] This book covers the basics, as well as TCP/IP, DNS, NFS, SLIP/PPP, sendmail, INN/NNTP, printing, etc.. It's expensive (~US$45-$55), but worth it. It also includes a CDROM with the sources for various tools; most of these, however, are also on the FreeBSD 2.0.5R CDROM (and the FreeBSD CDROM often has newer versions). 0.5: Other sources of information. One good source of additional information is the "[comp.unix.bsd] NetBSD, FreeBSD, and 386BSD (0.1) FAQ". Much of the information is relevant to FreeBSD, and this FAQ is posted around twice a month to the following newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.announce comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce comp.answers news.answers ( is this FAQ still being maintained/posted???) If you have WWW access, the FreeBSD home page is at: http://www.freebsd.org/ A FreeBSD "handbook" is being created, and can be found as: http://www.freebsd.org/How/handbook/ Note that this is a work in progress, and so parts may be incomplete.

I only could use floppies, so I just got the binary, manual, and kernel src. It installed fine, but I am having the following problems... The serial ports (both PCMCIA and onboard PC ports, ) are not recognized, no matter how much pwer-saving stuff I disable in the BIOS. I also took out the PCMCIA cards to eliminate any chance of IRQ conflicts... still no cuaa ports (should be sio0 and sio1). Any ideas, drivers in devel, similar probs??? I believe the system uses a VL82C146 (?) PCMCIA controller... At least that is what the DOS program that uses it says. (sadly enuff, DOS and Winblows both work fine with these cards, although no simultaneously.. bug?) The Ethernet card is also not recognized... although that could be due to no driver support yet... I don:t think the zp or ze dirvers work for this card??? when I try to manually probe the cards via boot -c option, I get a kernel panic saying invalid page...blah...blah... So, I return to America in a few months (October-ish), is there any chance I can make my modem and ethernet card work over here???

If it matters, my FreeBSD system is running one of the last 2.0.5-ALPHA's. My FreeBSD machine is behind a firewall and does not have free access to the outside world. I would like to use an automatic facility to sync its clock to a standard. Between SGI systems I have always used timed if I didn't have a known good time reference or timeslave to sync others to a known good time reference. The SGI man pages say timeslave takes fewer net and CPU cycles than timed. FreeBSD has timed but not timeslave. FreeBSD has xntpd, ntpdate, *ntp* etc, and SGI does not. The SGI system is timeslave'd to a known good time reference. I see 3 solutions, 1) learn how to configure xntpd, 2) learn something new about timed and make it work, or 3) find timeslave for FreeBSD. 1) Compiling xntpd for the SGI was no problem. Creating an /etc/ntp.conf has become a problem. Would be happy for xntpd to simply answer any NTP requests and not muck with the SGI clock. Timeslave and timed know how to adjtime() correctly for the SGI IRIX kernel and I'd be hesitant to let xntpd perform that task without specific evidence that it knew how to do it right. 2) Launched "timed -M -F localhost" on the SGI and failed to get timed on the FreeBSD system to connect and accept the SGI as master. On the FreeBSD system timed was launched as "timed -F tomcat1" where tomcat1 is the SGI. Using timedc on FreeBSD "timedc> elect tomcat1" completes with no message. "timedc> msite" reports the FreeBSD machine is still its own master. "timedc> msite tomcat1" says tomcat1 is the time master at tomcat1. Arrrgghh. At least both timed's are talking to each other. Same results from timedc on the SGI. Same results if full addresses or numeric addresses are used. Could it be that both are on different nets with a router or two between? Do I have to spell it out with a specific entry in /etc/networks? 3) Browsing SGI's ftp site I found source for timed as shipped with IRIX 4.0.5. Interesting. Looks just like *BSD's, which it is, with a few IRIX'isms. (Good example of adjtime()) Later after trying to find timeslave via archie & other means I looked at the timed source again and found timeslave.c lurking there! Timeslave was NOT in the Makefile which is the only place I bothered to look the first time. At the begining of timeslave.c was a note saying (my words from memory) "contributed to 4.4BSD Lite...". While xntpd has every bell and whistle imaginable, and probably syncs clocks closer together than timeslave, I'd choose timeslave just because it is simpler and smaller and just plain good enough. Has anyone ported timeslave to FreeBSD yet? -- David Kelly N4HHE, n4hhe@amsat.org, dkelly@iquest.com ============================================================= The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

It starts but with the message: No Route to Host After which it will not connect. (cant find it's way I assume) In my ppp.conf I use: add 0 255.255.255.0 204.57.120.3 Where 204.57.120.3 is who I USUALLY link to. However, on some occasions I get sent to .12 and ppp swallows this without a hickup. I had it in my ppp.linkup under MYADDR: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR I agree that ppp.linkup may not be needed with demand dialing, matter of fact I'm not using one at all right now with no ill effects. Note: My ISP uses vj-comp to me but allows predictor1 to him. When ftp'ing from him on a idle machine I get between 2.2 & 2.5KB/sec on binary or compressed files. However if I ftp from him to me I get 2.9KB/sec for compressed files and 4.7KB/sec on binary files. I'd really like him to use predictor1! I've got mail in and I'm going to see him tomorrow. (I want to see how he lost 2 3-4GB drives in 2 weeks :-( ) I also fiddled with the mru setting and found that 1460 and 1500 gave ME the best throughput. --- Rob Snow rsnow@txdirect.net From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jul 20 23:33:53 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id XAA10464 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 20 Jul 1995 23:33:53 -0700 Received: from disperse.demon.co.uk (disperse.demon.co.uk [158.152.1.77]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with SMTP id XAA10458 for ; Thu, 20 Jul 1995 23:33:51 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk by disperse.demon.co.uk id aa16973; 21 Jul 95 7:19 +0100 Received: from inner.demon.co.uk by post.demon.co.uk id aa01855; 21 Jul 95 7:19 +0100 Received: (from gedge@localhost) by inner.demon.co.uk (8.6.8/8.6.6) id XAA01140 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Thu, 20 Jul 1995 23:35:27 +0100 From: Geraint A Edwards Message-Id: <199507202235.XAA01140@inner.demon.co.uk> Subject: tcpdate correction lost?

However, I think I have finally figured it out. The key from Mike's original e-mail was that you needed to have the client address in the same net as the server. My address doesn't conform to this requirement, so it wasn't setting a default route. I had a route from the server to me, but not from me to the server. My final solution, which appears to be working, was to edit the /etc/sysconfig file and do two things: 1) Add a default route entry from me to my server (I got away with using the FQDN because the server IP is stored in my /etc/hosts): # Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO of none. defaultrouter=gateway.oz.net 2) Turn off all routing software since I'm strictly a leaf on the network: # These are the flags you'd like to start the routing daemon with routedflags=NO # Set to YES if you want to run gated gated=NO Those two changes, coupled with the changes that Mike suggested, has so far, worked for me. I have routing going both ways, and since I don't have routed/gated running, the routes never get axed due to lack of incoming RIP packets coming in when the link is down. Hope that helps someone.

You may have to configure the card to use the Twisted Pair connector, but you also must tell ifconfig about it with the "link2" argument.

I use the posix(?) function mkfifo to make my named pipes. The only problem I had was opening the fifo with O_RDWR, as it returns -1 with errno set to EINVAL. It seems that you have to open the FIFO twice, once for writting and once for reading. Wierd seeing as you can do it like this on sunos4.1.2, solaris2+ and linux.

First compile the kernel with QUOTA defined Boot new kernel edit /etc/fstab to mark the partitions you want to QUOTA to be on Create empty files quota.[user|group] : touch /u/u1/user.quota in the corresponding partitions ( on the upper level of directory structure) Run quotacheck on those partitions: quuotacheck /u/u1 so on ...

The mileage may vary :) Rashid PS !!! The QUOTAs code doesn't lead to kernel locking ! - albeit the premonition a few ppl here had ( me incl. :). Something else causes the locking . Very interesting one BTW - the console driver is alive ( you can switch the virtual screens from the console) , the ping from remote sites works too , when one tries telnet or ftp tp the hung host - it does say "connected" , but that's about it.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I was FTP'ing to get the port for MH and I experienced some add behavior. I went to pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE/ports/mail and found the MH directory where it should be. I then type "get mh.tar.Z" to have the directory structure tarred and compressed and I kept getting the message "mh.tar.Z" does not exist. Is FreeBSD.org using wuftp? I thought they were. Anyway the ability to tar and compress directories for ftp transfer has stopped working. John Perry - KG5RG - perry@jpunix.com - PGP-encrypted e-mail welcome!

If you have made the kernel already DON'T copy the GENERIC over the configure file for it. 1. Make sure you have kernel source installed, if not install it. 2. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 3. cp GENERIC name_for_your_kernel 4. vi name_for_your_kernel (assuming it's the editor you use vi) Goto end of file, find pseudo-device pty line, increase # to # of people you would like logged in. Save file. I believe screen may also use pty's so it's not stricly the maximum # of people that can be logged in. I think you can goto 64 w/o any major changes anywhere else. I use 32 personally and have between 3 and 16 users on most of time. 5. config name_for_your_kernel 6. cd ../../compile/name_for_your_kernel 7. make depend && make 8. cp kernel / 9. reboot your machine and the extra pty's will be available assuming the compilation process went ok. You may need to use the MAKEDEV script to generate more pty devices in the etc directory. (you can cd /dev;ls pt* and see how many devices are there already). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- College of Arts & Sciences Computing Services John A.

Situation ~~~~~~~~~ I've got one machine with two interfaces: tun0, kernel tunnel device used with iijppp. My ISP allocates a static IP address, so I've put this in /etc/sysconfig. PPP works fine. ep0, 3C509b network card, configured on 0x390, IRQ 11. It's probed at boot up, gets recognised and configured properly. These interfaces are on two completely different networks. The tun0 interface has the IP address 158.152.128.94 (surfs-up.demon.co.uk). The ep0 interface has the IP address 194.159.66.50 (elbereth.blueberry.co.uk). My intention is to create a local network consisting of Macs running MacTCP, and this PC (all on the 194.159.66.0 net) and have the PC as a gateway so that these machines can connect to the Internet (using the tun0 interface). What I've done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a) Compiled a kernel with "options GATEWAY" in the config file. b) Put the following lines in /etc/sysconfig hostname=elbereth.blueberry.co.uk . . . network_interfaces="lo0 tun0 ep0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_tun0="inet surfs-up 158.152.1.222 netmask 0xffffffff" ifconfig_ep0="inet elbereth.blueberry.co.uk netmask 0xffffff00 link2" c) /etc/hosts looks like 127.0.0.1 localhost 194.159.66.50 elbereth.blueberry.co.uk elbereth 158.152.128.94 surfs-up.demon.co.uk surfs-up d) /etc/resolv.conf looks like nameserver 158.152.1.193 nameserver 158.152.1.65 These are Demon's two nameservers. I'm not running 'named'. e) /etc/host.conf looks like hosts bind I'm not doing any routing myself. I'm relying on the kernel noticing the two interfaces and setting up a gateway between them (which, as far as I can tell, it's doing). What happens ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I really thought I'd managed to get this working. I log in, and the machine identifies itself as elbereth.blueberry.co.uk. I can ``ping surfs-up.demon.co.uk'' and it pings correctly. I can run PPP and get to the outside world with things like Netscape, telnet and ftp. Almost everything is working perfectly. What's stopped worked is e-mail . Up until about four hours ago this machine only knew itself as "surfs-up.demon.co.uk". The ep0 interface was known to the kernel but I hadn't ifconfig'd it, and the machine was not on the 194.0 net, only the 158.0 one. 'elbereth.blueberry.co.uk' didn't exist. At the time, e-mail to "nik@surfs-up.demon.co.uk" worked perfectly. As did e-mail to "nik@blueberry.co.uk" (my ISP forward's mail to the blueberry domain to the surfs-up domain). Ever since I made this change e-mail has been bouncing. I think... ~~~~~~~~~~ My ISP is re-writing mail to foo@surfs-up.demon.co.uk. It's connecting to the SMTP port on my machine expecting it to announce that it's connected to surfs-up.demon.co.uk. But my machine (even though the connection is on interface tun0) announces itself as elbereth.blueberry.co.uk. I can confirm this by doing telnet surfs-up.demon.co.uk smtp and get Trying 158.152.128.94 Connected to surfs-up.demon.co.uk. Escape character is '^]'. 220-elbereth.blueberry.co.uk Sendmail 8.6.11/8.6.9 ready at Fri, 21 Jul 1995 17:13:00 GMT 220 ESMTP spoken here So I think that what I'm asking is in reality a sendmail question. But I'm enough of a routing neophyte to not be 100% sure. Hence all the routing information above. I've had sendmail problems before, when I was running as 'surfs-up' but receiving mail addressed to 'blueberry'. This was fixed by putting the lines Cwsurfs-up.demon.co.uk Cwblueberry.co.uk in /etc/sendmail.cf. As is traditional at times like this, ``I haven't touched anything else!''. I haven't been near sendmail.cf in the past couple of weeks, and was receiving e-mail quite happily this morning (before I started playing around with changing machine names and the like). Anyone got any suggestions? I've ploughed through "TCP/IP Network Administration" and "Essential System Administration" both by O'Reilly to no avail (other than to confirm that I think I've done the routing stuff right), so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Something minimal still needs to be in the FAQ, as well as pointers to the handbook, of course. Think of the FAQ as being a quickstart guide, with the handbook being a reference manual. Some people may say that the handbook will replace the FAQ. I'm not sure that this is true. To be really useful, a *LOT* of information will eventually have to go into the handbook, and the eventual sheer size of the handbook may put many people off. -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

FreeBSD does run on many notebooks. *HOWEVER*, I have not had the best of luck running FreeBSD on my 750C using pre-2.0.5 sources. Basically, I had to hack the bootblocks to work with the 2.88MB floppy, and I had to hack on the bootblock console probe code to remove some of serial checking code. Once I got past that point, it would hang before mounting the floppy, but since my box has only 4MB it *may* have been a problem with too little memory. Unfortunately, I don't have easy access to more memory to see if it's a memory problem. When the 2.0.5 CD gets here I'm going to try again with this box, although I suspect I'll still have to beat on the bootblocks a little bit. Also, I *might* have to switch to pcvt since the stock console driver doesn't support 'scancode 2' mode or whatever it's called with IBM just to be different. We ordered a 755CX (Pentium w/800x600 screen), but it was put on hold for a month or so. So, I'm now getting NEC Versa early next week which is devoted to doing demonstrations on the road. We're going to be running SCO, Dos/Win, and FreeBSD because we have software which requires all three, and I don't suspect I'll have any problems installing FreeBSD on it. If I were to buy a notebook today I'd definitely go with a 800x600 screen if you plan on running FreeBSD on it. 640x480 is a *pain* to use because of the lack of screen space. I *really* like the ruggedness of the IBM boxes (much better than the NEC), but IBM does things a bit differently than anyone else.

There isn't really a need to run all of those commands by hand. After rebuilding a kernel with quota support, edit /etc/fstab to enable user/group quotas on the appropriate file systems, then edit /etc/sysconfig and set "check_quotas=YES". Reboot the new kernel, and all of the initial quota files will be built by /etc/rc and enabled. Verify that quotas have been enabled on all of the correct file systems by running: quota -v # for user quotas quota -vg # for group quotas Edquota should then work. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@mpp.minn.net "Go that way.

Also you may have to set the routed flags to "-s", the default in sysconfig is "-q". This means routed comes up in listen only mode; it doesn't announce routes. In my case my provider (the org I work for :-) requires that I RIP in my routes to them; thus "routed -q" fails whereas "routed -s" works. In your case there's no route to your internal route from your tunnel server: mnewell@lupine: ping 194.159.66.50 ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway ermin.demon.co.uk (158.152.1.98) for icmp from lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (198.116.2.100) to 194.159.66.50 ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway ermin.demon.co.uk (158.152.1.98) for icmp from lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (198.116.2.100) to 194.159.66.50 ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway ermin.demon.co.uk (158.152.1.98) ^C so either you're going to have to (a) have the owner of 158.152.1.98 install a static route to 194.159.66.0 or you'll have to RIP the route out yourself. Try killing off routed, then from root do "routed -s". Wait 30 seconds or so, then see if it helps...

That language is stolen from the way UUCP scripts work - you can find information on this scripting language in the UUCP documentation. It's a big help to have run a big UUCP site in a past life. :-) Briefly, this is a list of pairs of expected input/generated output tokens. TIMEOUT is special and is a command; the "5" is parsed as an argument. You'd better see something within 5 seconds or the timeout expires. This is used in the next part. "login:" is what we expect to see. The hyphen marks the start of an alternate branch in the script. If we DON'T see "login:" within 5 seconds, send a carriage return. Then, expect to see "login:", also within five seconds. When you see that, send "ppp". Expect to see "word:" within five seconds, then send "ppp" and end the script. As you can see from "word:", you don't have to give the full text you expect back, just a substring from it will do. The source code shows that IIJ PPP supports all sorts of special escape characters; '\r' is only one. There are long and short pauses, tabs, and others too. You could probably handle callback entirely in the script. I thought there was something about callback in the documentation but maybe I'm wrong; my FreeBSD system is at home so I don't have the doc handy.

Another possible solution is that he forgot the '-lm' flag on the link line.

This is misleading; if the prototype for pow() is in scope (as it is, as math.h was included), the arguments will be cast to match the prototype. If they couldn't be safely cast, an error would have been generated on that topic. Either way, the offending symbol is _pow, which has no argument type encoding 8) > Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[ From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jul 22 09:11:45 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id JAA01318 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 22 Jul 1995 09:11:45 -0700 Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [192.216.222.3]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id JAA01291 for ; Sat, 22 Jul 1995 09:11:43 -0700 Received: from monster.telekom.lv (monster.telekom.lv [194.8.16.106]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.11) with ESMTP id FAA28695 for ; Sat, 22 Jul 1995 05:51:18 -0700 Received: from ms-mail-gw.telekom.lv (ms-mail-gw.telekom.lv [194.8.16.8]) by monster.telekom.lv (8.6.10/8.6.9) with SMTP id PAA20506; Sat, 22 Jul 1995 15:45:43 +0300 Received: by ms-mail-gw.telekom.lv with Microsoft Mail id <30117F96@ms-mail-gw.telekom.lv>; Sat, 22 Jul 95 15:45:42 PDT From: Haralds Jakovels To: FreeBSD Questions , Rob Snow Subject: RE: ftpd -l -S doesn't log Date: Sat, 22 Jul 95 13:49:00 PDT Message-ID: <30117F96@ms-mail-gw.telekom.lv> Encoding: 19 TEXT X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail V3.0 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello, > I've set up my ftp server and added the -S to log all anonymous transfers > on my system.

Sender: questions-owner@FREEBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Dear Sir, Please forgive me if my sudden e-mail disturbs you. My name is Hiro Sugisaka, working at SOFEL Co.,Ltd. located in Japan. I would like to know if I can use FreeBSD for my future business, but I don't know where to ask this question. I would appreciate if you could forward my e-mail to an right person who can answer my question. We are about to start up the Internet providing service in Japan. We will provide the connections of the Internet, like T-1 IP connection, dial-up IP connection, UUCP connection and so on. I have set up our system with Sun workstations, but now I would like to use FreeBSD for our FTP server, News server, WWW server and other additional services, beside providing the connection service. I know that I can buy BSD/OS for that kind of case. But my point is, there may be no benefit for the BSD volunteer activities though I will work for finding the bugs and adding some features which we may need in our system while we do our Internet providing services. I know it is not a big problem for us to buy BSD/OS for it, in terms of its price. All what I am thinking is, I will pick up FreeBSD which you are trying to make it a stable FREE Unix operating system, because I want to contribute to your activities if we can. I do not think that we'll sell FreeBSD itself, we just use it for our services toward our customers and other Internet users. And though I say I'll use FreeBSD for our services, there may be a slight possibility that we have to stop using it because of its bugs which bring us a serious problem in our services. I hope you understand my point. If you permit us to use FreeBSD for our system, I am sure that it will be a good example for FreeBSD users in terms of how to use FreeBSD at the connection of the Internet. If people can login the system, they can read and get our configurations of inn, httpd, proxy and so on. Thank you very much for reading my e-mail. If you'll have some questions, please e-mail me. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Hiro Sugisaka Director of R&D SOFEL Co.,Ltd.

To: questions@freebsd.org Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Dear Tech Support, BACKGROUND INFO: I have ordered, received, and installed the latest FreeBSD 2.05 from Walnut Creek using the CD Rom. As I have an IDE CD ROM interface, I installed from a DOS partition. PROBLEM: Here'S the problem... Everything seemed to install Ok, except I cannot get the "X" system configuration to recognize my MOUSE. I have an ACER Pentium 60mhz machine that was preloaded with DOS 6.22 and windows 3.1. The mouse driver is located in C:\mouse. MOUSE.EXE AND MOUSE.COM ARE present in this directory? DOS was installed (mounted) when setting up PARTITIONS during the installation of FREEBSD. FREEBSD was installed in an extended DOS partition. When running the XCONfigure utiltity, as part of the installation process, I have tried every variation that i could think of to specify the location of the MICROSOFT COMPATIABLE (2 BUTTON) MOUSE. What do I need to do in order to cofigure (install) X Windows in FREEBSD? What directory should I specify when the location of the mouse is requested in the XCONFIG dirctory...their example is /dev/mouse. This didn't work, nor did /dos/mouse (mountpoint of C: dos), nor anything else I tried. I don't remember the exact error message, but I believe that it was MOUSE NOT configured or not found...something to that effect. AT any rate, the result is that X windows does not load. I'm new to UNIX and FREEBSD, so I wouldn't be surprised that I have overlooked something. PLEASE advise.

I brought said tlz07 back home, plug and play to get it working on the system. However, I'm having problems reading the tape (most likely I'm just SOL as the DAT formats differ somewhow). I forced the tape to density 0x13 using mt, which =61000 which matches how OSF/1 saw the tapedrive. FreeBSD tar reports: st0(ncr0:3:0): BLANK CHECK req sz: 10240 (decimal) asc:30,1 Cannot read medium - unknown format The blocksize of 10K matches how OSF/1 wrote the tape. I've tried specifying -B20 on the FreeBSD, and kicking the tape driver into variable block size mode. Nada.
