I'm trying and install FBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE on a no-name P90, 64 Mb RAM, 2 GB SCSI HDD connected to a PCI NCR controller, usual seri- al/parallel keyboard/mouse, etc. My problem is w/ the ethernet card (NE2000 16bit clone). It's a card I know for sure it works, since I already used it in a DOS/ Windows machine, and in another FBSD box (1.1.5.1) with no prob- lems. When I run the install diskette, I can go the point where the filesystems are created, newfs'd, and /stand is installed. I can chose the install media (FTP) and the distribution type (com- plete, with no X11 sources), then I enter the data for this ma- chine (name: foo.ibenet.it, domain: ibenet.it, addr: 194.179.130.2, mask: 255.255.255.0, gateway my router 194.179.130.254, dns 194.179.130.1, >no special parameter< to if- config). Note that the system correctly reports the card as ed1, and I can see the correct hardware address at boot. Then the system ifconfigs the interface, DEBUG reports exit sta- tus 0. But, when the install program (actually, ftp) tries to nslookup the ftp server (I tried several different servers, but that's not the problem), I get several (6/7) ed1: interface timeout errors (well, it's not the exact error, but you understand ...), I can- not ping the new machine from another one on the same network, and it eventually asks for another ftp server. Now, the ethernet cables are good, otherwise I couldn't send you this e-mail, since strider is on the same eth bus, and the card is working (I used it for a while), and it's recognized by the system. It's obviuos I'm doing some stupid error, but I can't think of anything. In the emergency shell I can verify the interface is up (flags=8863). What can I do?

Well, the DNS and Bind book talks about DNS and Bind, and the TCP/IP book covers lots of things, starting with the protocols & working up from there. From the blurb I have here, the latter doesn't cover the DNS in any great depth. > I know what you mean but isn't there anyway to configure SLiRP so > that it will default to a certain ip address for ppp/slip for each user > so that they can't be using someone else's address? You still don't understand. 8( Let's try to draw a picture so that you comprehend... OS/2 Warp, Winsock, etc installed on user's machine. Configured for some totally irrelevant address. SLiRP runs on *nix machine. Receives packet from user's machine. Makes note of originating IP address, processes packet contents and fakes the connection going out _from_the_*nix_system_. Receives packets addressed to the *nix machine relevant to operations it's performing on behalf of the user's system. Processes them, wraps the results up in a new packet addressed to the same IP address it made a note of above, and sends it to the user. User's system receives a packet addressed to it, coming (allegedly) from the 'real' remote host, and is happy.

Sort of the reversal of 'adduser'. I haven't found one so I'm in the process of whipping up a simple script just for my system. Problem is, I'm not sure how to automatically delete a user from the password files. I'm assuming something like (leaving out details like saving old umask, directory, etc): umask 077 chdir /etc /usr/bin/grep -v ${username} master.passwd > master.passwd.XXXXXX /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -p master.passwd.XXXXXX /bin/rm -f master.passwd.XXXXXX but I want to bounce it off some other people first before I go through a trial run. I realize I'd need to use shlock(1) to provide a lockfile so multiple copies of pwd_mkdb(8) aren't run at the same time. Along those lines, what do I need to check for to make sure some other process isn't locking the passwd file? In other works, what is the name of the lockfile used that passwd(1), chpass(1), vipw(1), etc. use to make sure that only one copy of pwd_mkdb(8) can be run at a time?

I have the datasheet (although 22 pages is a bit large for a "sheet") and I've read it.

MHA; I misremembered two things: The warning in 8.3 is actually for a divisor of _0_, and the 16550 divides to a 16x sampling clock, rather than having a fixed sampling clock and dividing it to produce a bit rate.

The difference is, the TCP/IP book has one chapter, consisting of 18 pages, on setting up DNS. True, some of the same info is covered, but if you don't have a real good idea of how it works in the first place (I didn't) then you do need the DNS/BIND book. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 2.0R) and n3lxx (301) 220-2114 | (FreeBSD 2.0.5-snap) and am I happy! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 6 20:58:49 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id UAA06775 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 6 Aug 1995 20:58:49 -0700 Received: from distortion.eng.umd.edu (distortion.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.6]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id UAA06768 for ; Sun, 6 Aug 1995 20:58:46 -0700 Received: from mocha.eng.umd.edu (mocha.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.16]) by distortion.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) with ESMTP id XAA05310; Sun, 6 Aug 1995 23:58:44 -0400 Received: (chuckr@localhost) by mocha.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) id XAA04637; Sun, 6 Aug 1995 23:58:43 -0400 Date: Sun, 6 Aug 1995 23:58:43 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey To: rhh@ct.picker.com cc: questions@freefall.cdrom.com Subject: Re: (?)

Here's the data from the GTE Network Interface Manual For Registered Terminal Equipment: 1 -- NC 2 -- NC 3 -- A (a control lead for keysystems) 4 -- R ("ring" lead, conventionally red in color, one of the two voice communications leads) 5 -- T ("tip" lead, conventionally green, also a voice communications lead) 6 -- A1 (another keysystem control lead, actually ground return for the A lead.) 7 -- PR (one end of the programming resistor, to set audio levels) 8 -- PC (the other end of the resistor from PR). The parenthetical comments are mine. The colors on the T and R leads are a pretty strongly adhered to convention, at least among telco people, so that can be used to identify leads 4 and 5. The interface is unfortunately used for voice only (non data modem) applications in a different way, so I wonder if you can really draw any strong conclusions. Check the interface wiring for RJ-31X and RJ-41S for comparison on that. The wiring I show is for the RJ-41S, which was used for data modem connections. Not really common for that anymore, tho. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 2.0R) and n3lxx (301) 220-2114 | (FreeBSD 2.0.5-snap) and am I happy! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 6 21:53:59 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id VAA09223 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 6 Aug 1995 21:53:59 -0700 Received: from pluto.ops.NeoSoft.com (pluto.ops.NeoSoft.COM [198.64.212.23]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id VAA09217 for ; Sun, 6 Aug 1995 21:53:57 -0700 Received: from concorde.neosoft.com (root@concorde.NeoSoft.COM [198.65.161.214]) by pluto.ops.NeoSoft.com (8.6.10/8.6.10) with ESMTP id XAA03222; Sun, 6 Aug 1995 23:53:54 -0500 Received: (from dbaker@localhost) by concorde.neosoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.11) id XAA06428; Sun, 6 Aug 1995 23:53:49 -0500 Date: Sun, 6 Aug 1995 23:53:47 -0500 (CDT) From: Daniel Baker X-Sender: dbaker@concorde To: Chris Madison cc: FreeBSD-questions@freefall.cdrom.com Subject: Re: Dell Dimension XPS P100c In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, 6 Aug 1995, Chris Madison wrote: > > Does anyone have FreeBSD running on one of these?

I have FreeBSD 2.0.1-RELEASE running on an Amibios 386 generic. Ttyp1 is a USR internal modem. The modem works reliably with DOS com ware. Ive tried both com0/irq4 and com1/irq3, and the kernel always recocnizes it (with an sio message on boot). Ive tried the original configs, and dozens of changes to /etc/ttys, including no entry at all. The modem has cts/rts. I do all of this as root. When i had the modem as com0 i tried using /dev/ttyp0 (and p1!). Durings the month+ i have been stuck on this i have tried also NetBSD, which has exactly the same problem. I have tried FreeBSD on a differnt machine/modem. I can only fathom this being either a serious BSD bug which was inexplictly overlooked, or a grey area that the manual pages miss (which i have read), that i am expected to know.

I would like to see an anwser, too :-) pcvt may have a good vt220 emulation but when it comes to a man page (wrt to configuring keymaps and screenmaps) it really sucks. The man page is full of programming information but it's missing some control program (like kdbcontrol). Take a look at the the sources of pcvt (Not the kernel sources) i believe there is a tarball in the incoming dir with the newest release of pcvt. It contains much more documentation and some nice examples on how to configure PCVT as an HP or DEC like vt220. I think the rc.local file should really be updated to detect PCCONS/PCVT support.

On my 16M/64M (real/swap) machine, the first time I ran out of swap during normal usage was this afternoon. At the time, I had a total of fifteen windows open. Running processes included: xv, Netscape, 6 xterms, two "screen" processes with a total of 7 virtual terminals with 1000 lines of scrollback each, a gcc building an iteration of a CA simulation I'm writing, an instance of that simulation running, the xmol molecule viewer, the SoundEditor app from a nearby SGI, the strn news reader, the ircII client, Pine 3.91 and various other things running on the desktop. A *lot* of stuff. It was hovering around 80% swap until I hit the Sandra Bullock home page with its thousand-and- one inline images that pushed Netscape over 15 megs of core and exhausted the swap. Just before the time of death, the X server was at 10 megs VSZ, unusually large for my gnumalloc'd binary. xv also uses gnumalloc, but all other X clients use bsdmalloc.

That might be a PS/2-style mouse, which is a little problematic because the default kernel you get with FreeBSD does not have an appropriate drive for it. You need to compile a new kernel for yourself with the "psm" driver in it. Then your mouse device is /dev/psm0.

The install process hangs occasionally and shows the following on the debug screen: process nn killed by vm pager -- out of swap (the message may not be exact - I'm sending this from memory at work). This happens most often when we try to select options such as Partition, Label, Distributions, Media, etc. Typing C forces install to continue, but I suspect whatever it spawned at these times either did not run at all or did not finnish the task intended, because we get error messages that indicate distributions or media are not specified or that it couldn't find the file system the distribution resides in (it's in a DOS partion on the target machine in C:\FREEBSD\BIN, etc.). Sometimes it will start unpacking the the bin distribution, then crash before completing it with the same (vm pager) error message. This usually causes a kernel panic and reboot. BTW, I'm using the boot.flp image from the UPDATE directory at freebsd.cdrom.com. I'm pretty this is caused by the limited memory available to the install process. Before We go out and buy more memory modules, is there some way to manually install 2.0.5? Is anyone running 2.0.5 on a machine with only 4M of memory? BTW, We've successfully installed 2.0.5 on several other machines with 8Mb or more of memory - all worked without any trouble at all. Good job on the install process, folks!

Liberated from: Linux Ethernet-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.2 5 CABLES, COAX, TWISTED PAIR 5.2 Twisted Pair If you are only connecting two machines, it is possible to avoid using a hub, by swapping the Rx and Tx pairs (1-2 and 3-6). If you hold the RJ-45 connector facing you (as if you were going to plug it into your mouth) with the lock tab on the top, then the pins are numbered 1 to 8 from left to right. The pin usage is as follows: Pin Number Assignment ---------- ---------- 1 Output Data (+) 2 Output Data (-) 3 Input Data (+) 4 Reserved for Telephone use 5 Reserved for Telephone use 6 Input Data (-) 7 Reserved for Telephone use 8 Reserved for Telephone use Some cards, like the wd8013 can sense reversed polarity, and will adjust accordingly. Also note that 3 and 6 must be a twisted pair. If you make 3-4 a twisted pair, and 5-6 the other twisted pair, your cable may work for lengths less than a metre, but will fail miserably for longer lengths.

Without getting into a long story, our resources are limited because it takes too long to obtain needed hardware/software. What we do have is what you see above with two supported Ethernet cards in the FreeBSD gateway. There is also one Mac in the Appletalk network that has a copy of Mach Ten (TM) which is suppose to be BSD4.3, and an Ethernet controller. We may be able to use that Mac as the bridge between the Appletalk network and the WfW network which eliminates the need to connect the Appletalk network to the FreeBSD gateway. We have legal IP addresses for the FreeBSD subnet, but may have to use some of those reserved IP addresses for internal use on the WfW and the Appletalk network.

Did you try "rehash" after setting the path? Does the "startx" command have a+rx access set? When you cd to a directory and want to run something in it you need to make sure either (a) "." is in your path, or (b) you do "./command". In most systems for user root "." is explicitly left out of the path so that you don't accidentally run something you don't expect as root. In fact, on fbsd V2.0.5 using tcsh I get a warning when my .cshrc executes because I have "." in the path for root (my choice!) In your case, maybe cd /usr/X11R6/bin ./startx or /usr/X11R6/bin/startx might be reasonable alternatives. (BTW, when you said "I added the /usr/X11R6/bin in the path." did you mean you edited your startup file and added it? If so, you need to do something like "source .cshrc" in order to enable the path...)

When my line drops I have to dial a terminal server, log in, telnet to the FreeBSD server, kill the PPP daemon (as noted, a new one gets created...), log out, then redial our server. My /etc/ppp/options file looks like: netmask 255.255.255.240 # subnet mask for our system -detach # don't detach crtscts # enable hardware flow control passive # establish passive link (wait for LCP) modem # use modem line control proxyarp # insert an ARP entry for the host lcp-echo-interval 30 # send an echo packet every 30 seconds lcp-echo-failure 10 # die after n failed lcp echo requests debug and the .ppprc file for the account looks like: 198.116.75.49:198.116.75.65 The username is configured as: xxxppp:*:32002:32000:Mike's PPP:/home/xxxppp:/usr/sbin/pppd so that pppd is launched as the account's shell as soon as the login occurs. What appears to happen is carrier drops, then pppd spawns a new version of itself which camps out forever on the line; thus getty never gets restarted so you can't log in again. This happened on 2.0R as well as 2.0.5R. It did *NOT* happen on Linux. I've posted a couple of requests to the list, but gotten no help (other than advice to switch to ijppp :-) Needless to say, this is exceedingly annoying... ;-( Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :-) Thanks, Mike On Sun, 6 Aug 1995, Duane R.

Things worked well with one card, and I built a kernel with support for the 2nd card. I created a new config, added a new device entry, commented out everything else on the port addresses of the cards (nothing important, or even there as shown by failures of previous probes). I changed /etc/sysconfig. I built the kernel and booted it. The kernel comes up, but when it comes time for the ifconfig, the ifconfig takes a while. In fact, netstat -i sits there for a long time as well. In both cases, this happens when processing the 2nd card. I have used 3com's cfg3c5x9 to configure the cards as follows: I/O Base (300, 200) IRQ (10, 3) Boot Prom: disabled Transceiver: Auto Select (ifconfig shows UTP as result of autoselect) Network Driver Optimization: Windows or OS/2 client Plug and Play: disabled Anyone have an idea what I screwed up this time?

The PC_DEVICE_ID is 0x7278 as opposed to 0x7078 for the 7870. You shouldn't have to worry about assigning IRQs since the driver can share IRQs. Justin Gibbs can tell you anything more you need to know since he wrote the driver.

They have different focusses. I think the TCP/IP book justifies itself in explaining how to troubleshoot network problems, ifconfig stuff, and network security, but the big chapter on Sendmail doesn't hurt.

I had the installation program extract a few distributions (from the DOS partition), like bin and manpages, but not compat20.tgz. I later extracted compat20.tgz manually with a command like this, under root of course: cd /; tar xzvf compat20.tgz As soon as this was done, "all" programs caused SEGFAULTs (even ls). I suppose that some shared libraries in /usr/lib were corrupted. I'd like to know how the extraction of a distribution can cause so much harm. What did I do wrong? Did the installation procedure hide some important informations from me? For those who are interested: I rebooted by typing "/kernel -s" at the "Boot:" prompt; then I did fsck and then "mount -a /". At that point, I erased the contents of /usr/lib and replaced it with the /usr/lib/* files of the bindist, which I still had on the DOS partition. Pierre.

I have installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 on three separate systems using 3 different installation methods and never had a problem. They were all, however, to IDE or EIDE HDD's. Now I'm trying to install it on a system with only SCSI drives and hit a brick wall. The system has an Adaptec 2742W EISA SCSI adaptor and a Seagate 43xxxxN HDD (3GB). The system works fine in DOS and I've run it through a very vigorous battery of diagnostics in DOS and it's passed with flying colors. When I try to install FreeBSD and get to the partitioning section of the install menu, it says I don't have any HDD's. During a manual config during boot, the system correctly probed the ahc1 device and found the correct information. During bootup it says it has found a device sd0, but it incorrectly reads it as 6GB. (It flies by too fast to read the exact geometry if it does in fact show it.) On ttyv1 I get the following error message: >ioctl (3,TIOCCONS, NULL)=0 (success) sd0: error reading >primary partition table reading fsbn 0 (sd0 bn0; cn0 tn0 sn0) Physcially the disk has about 2600 cylinders, but under DOS the BIOS (Award) supported LBA shows the following geometry: 354 cylinders, 255 sides, and 63 sectors per track I would very much appreciate help as soon as possible.

I THINK I've installed DES. Basically, I went to the root dir and untarred the DES distribution. Seemed fine, expcept for it complaining about not being able to overwrite /sbin/init. Does this matter? Is there anything else that needs to be done for DES to be properly installed? Next, I seem to have yp working (it does seem to be talking to a server) but passwords don't seem to translate between the two systems (should it matter that the server is an AIX box?) Now that I (think that I) have DES installed, do I need to recompile the yp binaries? Thanks, PS. Thanks to those who replied to my popper questions. The problem turned out to be the fact that my test account had a UID < 10, which popper was compiled to reject. :-) --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 8 13:38:05 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id NAA14245 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 8 Aug 1995 13:38:05 -0700 Received: from alpha.enc.edu (alpha.enc.edu [199.93.252.250]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with SMTP id NAA14237 for ; Tue, 8 Aug 1995 13:38:00 -0700 Received: by alpha.enc.edu (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03 rev 11/30/94) id AA29698; Tue, 8 Aug 1995 16:36:28 -0400 Date: Tue, 8 Aug 1995 16:36:28 -0400 (EDT) From: "Charles N.

I have pppd running on my test system but once the connection is dropped the pppd task does not go away. The port becomes available again and I can start another pppd session with the same arguments but the previous version(s) do not go away unless I kill them (an output example from ps is included in this message) I keep going through the man page on pppd but I have not come up with the answer to my question. Now it might be there right in front of my face but I just can't see it. I have even tried using the lcp-echo-interval and lcp-echo-failure but that too doesn't seem to do anything for me. Here is what ps shows the status of the task(s) $ ps ax | grep d1 | grep -v grep 1619 ??

I know this has to work because people are using FreeBSD for ppp logins and it has to be working for them. Besides I would assume after a while it would cause problems with the system I have even tried to create the /etc/ppp/ip-up and ip-down files but they are never executed (unless if pppd dies before a connection is ever established and then it fails on the execution but at least I know it is trying). I would really appreciate any ideas/help/pointers/whatever for a solution to this problem. I am trying to get a system ready to work as an ISP this is really causing a problem. Unfortunately the only local system that I can ask face to face question is on Linux and the guy isn't real reseptive to FreeBSD.

I've seen so many good answers to questions here, I felt obliged to pass along my own, er, question or two... (It's a long, clueless one, so go get that cup of coffee now! :-) I must confess to being a network-admin-neophyte, so if I ask a FAQ, just point me at it, or if I sound Really Dumb, just sneeze or blink or something while it scrolls off. Here's the summary of the story so far. I've been hanging off my Internet Service Provider, OnRamp.net for a while now. I've been happily resolving through them as chrome.onramp.net and probably will continue to do so for at least a while yet. Here's the local topology in some detail: I've got a 3-bit submask ending .200 - .207. My router is .201, my FreeBSD machine, chrome, is .202 and I've got a (<>) Windows '95 hanging at .203. (If it matters, the router is an Ascend Pipeline-50 doing ISDN to ethernet onto a 10bT hub.) I want, I suppose, a name equivalence with: chrome == chrome.jdl.com == jdl.com The interesting parts of /etc/hosts are currently: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.jdl.com 199.1.166.201 router router.jdl.com 199.1.166.202 chrome chrome.jdl.com jdl.com chrome.onramp.net 199.1.166.203 brass brass.jdl.com brass.onramp.net And, I used to have resolve.conf as: domain onramp.net nameserver 199.1.11.2 Now, just to totally stray from the tried, true, and working, I just got my offical domain name, jdl.com, registered with the NIC. Yea! So far, OnRamp is routing "jdl.com" packets to me through my router. However, something beyond that just wasn't right... From a totally third-party machine, I couldn't find "chrome.jdl.com". Furthermore mail sent to "jdl@jdl.com" bounced very nicely and included this tidbit: ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 jdl@jdl.com... Host unknown (Name server: chrome.jdl.com.: host not found) Right. The nameserver on jdl.com didn't realize that chrome.jdl.com was supposed to be the same as jdl.com. Oh, I'm not running named! OK, so removed /etc/resolve.conf, added namedflags in sysconfig and crocked up these files in /etc/namedb: ---------------- /etc/namedb/named.boot ---------------- ; $Id: named.boot,v 1.3 1995/03/23 08:43:02 rgrimes Exp $ ; From: @(#)named.boot 5.1 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 ; boot file for secondary name server ; Note that there should be one primary entry for each SOA record. ; example sortlist config: ; sortlist 128.3.0.0 directory /etc/namedb ; type domain source host/file backup file cache . named.root primary 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA localhost.rev primary jdl.com jdl.hosts primary 166.1.199.IN-ADDR.ARPA jdl.rev ---------------- /etc/namedb/jdl.hosts ---------------- ; ; jdl.hosts ; @ IN SOA chrome.jdl.com. root.chrome.jdl.com.

How come chrome.jdl.com or router.jdl.com isn't visible to the external world? I'm confused on where I point my configuration off to my ISP's nameserver for those names I can't resolve myself. Do I even need my ISP's nameserver anymore? Nah, that's what named.root's for, right? So should I modify or create a localized named.root that includes my ISP's nameserver on a locality argument? Should I really have an MX record in jdl.hosts somewhere? As you can see, despite searching for a FAQ in /usr/share/FAQ reading {named,resolver} man pages and ORA's Crab book section on configuring DNS, I am still without a clue. OK, and, of course, the obvious question I probably should've asked in the first place: Is this even my problem or is it my ISP's problem? Any help or insight here would be most appreciated! jdl From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 9 01:33:23 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id BAA26516 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 9 Aug 1995 01:33:23 -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 BAA26510 for ; Wed, 9 Aug 1995 01:33:21 -0700 Received: from msmith@localhost by genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (8.6.9/8.6.9) id SAA27568; Wed, 9 Aug 1995 18:30:08 +0930 From: Michael Smith Message-Id: <199508090900.SAA27568@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: httpd can't start To: dlr@asylum.org (dlr) Date: Wed, 9 Aug 1995 18:30:07 +0930 (CST) Cc: mrcpu@cdsnet.net, questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199508082251.SAA13025@asylum.asylum.org> from "dlr" at Aug 8, 95 06:51:21 pm Content-Type: text Content-Length: 871 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk dlr stands accused of saying: > |On Wed, 9 Aug 1995, Michael Smith wrote: > |> Did you actually bother to read the documentation?

Yeh, I thought so too, but I didn't write the FAQ. ) I've had bad cables work fine with no noticable problems. Never bothered to do a retry count on one, though. There's no real reason to do them wrong anyways, so if this frightens a few people into being more conservative than then might have been, I regard it as a Good Thing.

No. The `crypt' command, which implemented an incredibly weak cipher, was not deemed valuable enough to be re-implemented from scratch by Berkeley or (so far as I am aware) anyone else. Thus, it is only available subject to a license from USL. Our iBCS2 emulation might be good enough to run a statically-linked SCO or SVR3 binary if you have one. You'll need to compile your kernel with `options "COMPAT_IBCS2"' and enable the appropriate option in /etc/sysconfig. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

You get the fully patched source code, for one. More importantly to me, and I'm unsure if this is by design or just a coincidence, the ports often have a lot of little info files that don't go out with the packages. For something like httpd this can be very convenient.

It has an Adaptec 2742W and a Seagate ST43401N. During the installation disk boot, the Adaptec is correctly probed, but the drive is recognized as something with the wrong geometry. I get the following debugging message on ttyv1: "sd0: error reading primary partition table reading fsbn 0 (sd0 bn0; cn0 tn0 sn0)" The disk works perfectly under DOS and has passed a whole battery of diagnostic tests there with flying colors. I was told to change the labelling on the disk, but under the installation menu I'm told I can't label it until I partition it, and the installation program won't let me partition it because it claims I don't have a hard drive. So how can I exit the installation menu to enter a labeling command without forcing a reboot? And will that even solve my problem? One note: DOS reads the logical geometry of the disk as 354 cylinders 255 sides and 63 S/T. The physical geometry is actually 2738 cylinders and 21 sides. As far as I know only the system BIOS is converting the geometry to LBA. ============================================= Matt Rosenberg Washington University School of Law St. Louis, MO, USA mar7@cec.wustl.edu ; rosenbem@wulaw.wustl.edu http://www.cec.wustl.edu/~mar7/ ============================================= From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 9 08:22:20 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id IAA17498 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 9 Aug 1995 08:22:20 -0700 Received: from distortion.eng.umd.edu (distortion.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.6]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA17488 for ; Wed, 9 Aug 1995 08:22:16 -0700 Received: from espresso.eng.umd.edu (espresso.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.13]) by distortion.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) with ESMTP id LAA06828 for ; Wed, 9 Aug 1995 11:22:13 -0400 Received: (chuckr@localhost) by espresso.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) id LAA03165; Wed, 9 Aug 1995 11:22:12 -0400 Date: Wed, 9 Aug 1995 11:22:11 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Configuring a GUS card Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to set up a GUS card.

Back when I was first bringing up 386BSD on my home system, I occasionally wanted to print man pages. I based my filter (sed script) upon what I could find when I piped man pages to a file. I did this because I found nothing in all my O'Reilly books or on the system that sufficiently defined the troff format for me. If the filter is still lacking something, please let me know what it is and I will try to add/change it. Since I had not printed a man page in a long time, I verified it last night on my 2.0.5 Release (CD) system: man lpd | lpr -t produced a nice hard copy, bold fonts and underline worked well which make the printout easier to read. This filter is for my Panasonic KXP4410 printer which is supposed to be HPLJ IIP compatible. For the person (people) having trouble with their printcap file and Postscript printer, this is probably not the problem but just FYI: Any time that I have changed my printcap file, I have had to kill the running lpd daemon and restart it manually (alternately, shutting down and rebooting will work also) to have the changes recognized. ------------------------ printcap ------------------------------ # @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 # Richard Hykel # 7/13/93 # lp|local line printer:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:\ :if=/usr/local/filters/if_ljet2:\ :tf=/usr/local/filters/tf_ljet2: ------------------------ if_ljet2 ------------------------------ #!/bin/sh printf "\033E\033&k2G" cat - printf "\033E" ------------------------ tf_ljet2 ------------------------------ #!/bin/sh # Richard Hykel # 7/13/93 # filter troff man page for Panasonic laser printer # KXP-4410 ( HPLJ IIP compatible ). # # sed command descriptions # line 1 - temporarily convert Underline Backspace to a (Hopefully) # unique sequence # line 2 - remove the overstrike char after all backspaces (this # creates bold type on impact printers). # line 3 - change two NON-backspace characters followed by a backspace # to Character BEGIN_BOLD_FONT Character. # line 4 - change a NON-backspace character at the beginning of a line # followed by a backspace to BEGIN_BOLD_FONT Character. # line 5 - change a backspace character followed by two NON-backspace # characters to END_BOLD_FONT Character. # line 6 - change a backspace character followed by a NON-backspace # character at the end of a line to END_BOLD_FONT Character. # line 7 - now replace all backspace characters at end of any line # with END_BOLD_FONT. # line 8 - remove all remaining backspace characters. # line 9 - convert the temporary unique sequence created in line 1 back # to an Underline Backspace # printf "\033E\033&k2G" cat - | sed " s/_/ !~^!!^ /g s/.//g s/\([^]\)\([^]\)/\1(s3B\2/g s/^\([^]\)/(s3B\1/g s/\([^][^]\)/(s0B\1/g s/\([^]\)$/(s0B\1/g s/$/(s0B/g s///g s/ !~^!!^ /_/g" printf "\033E" -- Richard Hykel hykel@twisto.compaq.com My opinion is my own and subject to change.

Yes, I have CD and DSR following carrier; carrier does drop when the line disconnects (I put a breakout box on it to make sure; also the same config worked fine on Linux...) I actually added code to pppd to see if the HUP is delivered. It isn't invoking the trap routine when the modem dies; I guess the HUP is somehow getting lost in the sio driver? > I don't need a detach since I don't specify a tty when I start pppd, > this forces no detach and just uses the controlling tty it inherits > from the getty. Yeah, I tried it with both detach and -detach; no effect.

IF YOU CAN NOT HELP THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHO CAN. The documentation (INSTALL, READ* files) is unclear on which files I need from the ftp site. This is my aim: Transfer the most current version of FreeBSD from an anonymous ftp site (ftp.FreeBSD.org) to a UNIX machine which is directly on the internet. (I know there are a lot of files, so I plan to do this during low usage hours like 6 AM EST.) Next, I would transfer the retrieved FreeBSD distribution files from the UNIX host to my own MS-DOS hard drive. Install FreeBSD onto my computer in its own partition using these files. These are my questions: Which is the most current version on the ftp.FreeBSD.org site? What are the SNAP versions? Which files/directories on the anon ftp site do I need??? Many file in subdirectories of 2.0.5-RELEASE have long unix filenames. Of course, I can't store them on my DOS partition so I am assumming there are archived files that will be uncompressed during FreeBSD installation - am I right? How do I install FreeBSD from DOS given the files that I ftp'd from ftp.FreeBSD.org? Thanks in advance for your help.

Well, the "via cat" is your problem. In reality, you want to use a shell script. If you are familiar with Bourne shell programming, you can: 1) open the serial port by redirecting data from it to a file descriptor. 2) stty the serial port to set it up 3) cat the data to the serial port 4) close the descriptor > I tried to put a corresponding line into /etc/ttys > (std.600) to no avail. Yeah, the ttys line is the rate that getty sets when it succeeds on open and has nothing to do with the default rates. You *can* set the default rate in /etc/rc.serial; check the sio man page. This is not recommended by me. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

According to the man page for ldconfig, the -v option turns on the verbose mode.

I've gotten NIS to function on the master server, and I've succeeded in getting another FBSD box to work as a client. Now, I'm trying to get this second box to work as a SLAVE server. Here's what I did: 1. On the slave: a. start ypserv 2. On the master: a. edit /var/yp/Makefile and commented out NOPUSH="True" b. edit /var/yp/ypservers and added name of slave. Does this have to be in some special format? c. touch /var/yp/master.passwd d. make make starts to update the files, as it should, but then dies when it calls (apparantly) yppush. Here's the output Updating hosts.byname... Usage: /usr/bin/yppush [ -d domain ] [ -v ] mapname ... *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. What do I do now?

If this is the delay when ifconfig'ing the 2nd card, I feel it's a problem with the resolver setup, not the card's config. Try not autoconfiging the card and do it manually with the `-n' flag to not do DNS resolution to see if that helps.

Otherwise no real differences at all. What it does now is that outgoing UUCP seems to work fine. Incoming UUCP gets a lot of errrors and aborts. Let me clarify that a bit... by outgoing I mean that I dial out and deliver or pickup the packets... incoming means they call in to send or receive packets.

Pretty wierd, but thats what seems to be happeing. I wonder if you might have a double com1 problem? Some motherboards have an on-board set of com ports that respond to the com1/2 addresses. If you put in another card to do your serial i/o maybe you have some interrupt and address space collisions. It also might be that the cable for that serial port isn't handling flow control correctly.

When I enabling hashing in ftp (print the # marks) then it is obvious that the dataflow stops after every 40 or 50k for an instant and then continues again. I would say that the interface gets flooded somehow. Any advice on how to tune/change this behaviour would be very much appreciated.

The Readme.Doc folk's receipts show the list price and the price after their discount, and it seemed like real numbers, compared to what I used to pay bookstores before I found out about Readme.Doc. I post this info about twice a year, because I think I'm doing folks (who probably don't have much more money than I) a favor. I spend FAR too much of my money on books. Just bought the Magic Garden, a really neat thing that Terry told me about. Tells me all about the VFS stuff (besides lots of other stuff) that I've been very curious about. It's pointed at SVR4, but there ISN'T one on bsd like that, so it's the next best bet.

CERN httpd comes with sample config files. If you installed the package or port, the sample configs should be in /usr/local/www/config - there are several example configurations. CERN httpd is documented on the w3 project's WWW server, if I'm not mistaken. The URL is http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Daemon/Status.html). Configuring a simple http server is easy - but read the documentation.

My old version, FREEBSD 1.1, did not work any more. I understand that, the reason is that version 1.1 does not support Enhanced IDE controllers. Does version 2.0.5 ?? In order to try to find out if EIDE drives are supported, I tried to install a minimal version. While trying to install this new version, I ran in to a purplexing problem. I used a Windows FTP program to get all of the BIN files (bin.aa - bin.ch) and the man pages for version 2.0.5, as well as the root and boot floppy images. I put the binaries and man pages in a DOS partition on my hard drive. The install- ation program starts up and runs fine. When it is installing the BIN files until it gets to 68% completed, I get an error message: 'Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 10240 bytes)' I have tried this several times it always fails at the same point with the same error message. I have 300 megabytes for the BSD slice of the drive. I have played around with the partion sizes. At one time I had 100 meg for the root, 100 meg for the /usr, and 100 meg for the swap area. It still failed at the same point, with the same message. I am only trying to install the 'BIN' files and the manpages. All together about fifty files of 200K each or about 10 megs assumming no compression. Making an educated guess I figured out the file with the problem must be bin.bp, bin.bq or bin.bs. I transferred the files from a different ftp site, but it still fails at the same point with the same error message. So I have two questions: 1) Are Enhanced IDE drives supported in version 2.0.5? 2) What is going wrong with my attempts to install version 2.0.5? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Ted tdoyle@sunbelt.net "The only stupid question is the one that is not asked" From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 9 22:51:06 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id WAA19607 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 9 Aug 1995 22:51:06 -0700 Received: from gndrsh.aac.dev.com (gndrsh.aac.dev.com [198.145.92.241]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id WAA19601 for ; Wed, 9 Aug 1995 22:51:03 -0700 Received: (from rgrimes@localhost) by gndrsh.aac.dev.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id WAA00829; Wed, 9 Aug 1995 22:50:59 -0700 From: "Rodney W.

Ok; if you have an internet connection via PPP or ethernet, follow these steps : 1) ftp to FreeBSD.cdrom.com 2) cd to /pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE/floppies and get the file boot.flp 3) cd to /pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE/tools/dos-tools and get rawrite.exe 4) cd to /pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE and get the files README, RELNOTES, INSTALL and HARDWARE. 5) print and read the files you got in step 4. 6) If you have anything else on the disk you're going to install FreeBSD on, MAKE A BACKUP! 7) Use rawrite to copy the boot.flp file onto a _FRESHLY_FORMATTED_ floppy disk, either 1.2M or 1.4M to suit your system. 8) Boot the floppy and follow the instructions. READ ALL OF THEM! 8) If you don't, we add some new steps. You need a DOS partition with at least 20M, and preferably 100M free on the first disk in your system. 0.5) Make a directory c:\freebsd under DOS. ... 4.1) get all of the files in the bin directory and put them in c:\freebsd\bin. 4.2) get all of the files in the manpages directory and put them in c:\freebsd\manpages, likewise for 'info'. 4.3) If you want source code, do the same for 'src', and likewise for Xwindows and XF86311 >> Dave S. -- ]] 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 Thu Aug 10 00:09:51 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id AAA22391 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 10 Aug 1995 00:09:51 -0700 Received: from mail.rwth-aachen.de (mail.RWTH-Aachen.DE [137.226.144.9]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id AAA22385 for ; Thu, 10 Aug 1995 00:09:29 -0700 Received: from gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de by mail.rwth-aachen.de (PMDF V4.3-10 #7297) id <01HTWIBKAPSG006MDD@mail.rwth-aachen.de>; Thu, 10 Aug 1995 09:08:21 +0100 Received: (from kuku@localhost) by gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (8.6.8/8.6.9) id JAA00696; Thu, 10 Aug 1995 09:22:10 +0200 Date: Thu, 10 Aug 1995 09:22:09 +0200 (MET DST) From: Christoph Kukulies Subject: Re: Printcap and Laser printer In-reply-to: <199508100446.VAA14323@ix2.ix.netcom.com> from "Fred Adorno" at Aug 9, 95 09:46:21 pm To: fadorno@ix.netcom.com (Fred Adorno) Cc: freebsd-questions@freefall.freebsd.org (user alias) Reply-to: Christoph Kukulies Message-id: <199508100722.JAA00696@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-type: text Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-length: 546 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > I have not been able to configure my Epson laser printer with this > software.

The device file for partition 1 on your second SCSI drive is /dev/sd1s1. So, mount -t msdos /dev/sd1s1 /dosdrv should do the trick. Have you tried booting DOS from your second drive? DOS (as far as I know) can only boot from your first drive, so unless you've got a small partition (DOS) on your first drive or you boot DOS from floppy, then you're not going to be able to boot DOS without changing your configuration. If anyone else knows how to boot DOS from your second drive, I'd be interested in knowing too :).

What emulations does your printer support (i.e. PostScript, PCL-4, PCL-5, GDI, FX, LQ, ... ?) However, if you should be so unlucky that your printer happens to be one of the GDI kind, you can forget it. Those critters require MS-Windows, as it is the Windows GDI subsystem which is used for rasterization. It might be possible to find out the wire protocol used for GDI printers, but it is not obvious whether there is much point in it, as those printers require two-way communicaiton with the host. If you are not so unlucky, many options are there (GhostScript, apfilter, to name a few.)

The device name should be something like /dev/sd1s0 (if your DOS slice is the first one. Otherwise /dev/sd1s1, etc.) /dev/sd1 is the whole disc under the new slice code (AFAIK.) /dev/sd1a is the compatibility name for /dev/sd1s?p0 where ? is the first BSD slice. (AFAIK, as well.)

You need to use the pcvt console driver as it can do scan-mode 2. I'm waiting for more memory on my 750C to see if it helps, since right now the install hangs saying 'using /stand/sysinstall for init' or somesuch.

For some reason, when I load the freeBSD, it totally shut down the card, I check all the other devices to make sure that there was no conflict, and tried it again and still gave the same result... The way I could find out if the card is working is by looking at the led on the card, what I did was load dos, and on another system, I made it look for any systems on the net, and thats when the led on the Freebsd (DOS Loaded) Systems ehternet card started working, When I load the freebsd and do It again, it stopped... There is no conflict... Is it my Card? I have an EtherNet Combo, its NE2000 Compatible....

The echo "\033&k3G" should be telling the printer to add a preceeding each character. It seems that this is not happening. I can think of a couple of reasons this might be. Perhaps the \033 is not being properly expanded into an character. Or, the printer may not be in PCL emulation mode (emulating an HP LaserJet). Or that printer may not be capable of PCL emulation. Do any of the characters "&k2G" show up at the beginning of the line that does print? This would indicate that the is not being handled right. If the printer can be set-up to always translate into , you might try setting that. > I get the feeling also that I should be doing > something with "chmod" and other when I keep changing this printcap. > Show me how to undo all of this and let's start from scratch.

I'm in a 132x50 xterm under XFree86 3.1.1u1 and FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE. Consider this: ~ % stty -a speed 9600 baud; 50 rows; 132 columns; [rest of stty's output deleted] ~ % which ls /bin/ls When I use ls, I get a display with 5 columns. But some filenames in the 1st column don't have their 1st character: it actually appears on the 132nd column of the preceding line... The specific example I'm considering is 'ls /usr/include/vm'.

I am using the staple GENERIC kernel and have not tried recompiling yet on this system. The problem is, I have about 20 aliasesed IP addresses on the de0 interface and every day the device just seems to disappear and not receive or send any packets. I checked the messages before this happens and there is no indication of any errors occuring. Before I increased the memory and changed the network card I used to receive "mb_map full" errors. But since I put more memory in the "mb_map full" only pops up in the messages every 5th or so time the device decides to die. Sometimes I can even ifconfig down the device and then ifconfig the device back up with success. But when I do that the IP address that shows up when I do a 'ifconfig de0' as the local and broadcast are one of the aliased ones and not the original. Any ideas? Anymore information you want me to provide?. Thanks for listening.

You should build a kernel on your desktop machine with the option (documented in the LINT configuration file) to force the console driver to use type 2 scancodes. Then use that kernel instead of the default kernel on the install disks to perform the install.

I've got a DOS partition on my machine, with FreeBSD as the second OS.

And this is what I see. /usr/ for example is mounted from /dev/sd0s2e. However, the '/' filesystem is mounted from /dev/sd0a, not /dev/sd0s2a. It works fine, but I was wondering why the discrepancy.

The catch is that now it gives me this charmig message: Fatal server error: Cannot open mouse (no such file or directory) I have installed FreeBSD on an IBM Aptiva. On the X configuration tool I selected (wrongly, I guess) the Microsoft mouse support. Now when I boot from diskette and try to access the X configuration tool, it won't let me. I changed the file XF86Config file (Section "Pointer") from: Protocol "Microsoft" Device "/dev/mouse" to: Protocol "PS/2" Device "/dev/mouse" but it still will give me the same Fatal server error message all over. I don't know if this is the right place for placing these awkward questions, but - although I am fairily familiarized with UNIX - it's the first time I try running this operating system, and I do have this bias against Intel based machines.

Thanks but like for example if I wanted /usr/home/www as the home dir for the home directory for http and then like wananted like /usr/home/vince/html for like where the homepage for user vince is, how would I define this so that http://sitename goes to the main page while http://sitename/~vince goes to /usr/home/vince/html/index.html? Also, what directory does the all.conf go in and like how do I start httpd exactly? Thanks!

Then again, with the changes made to the slice code made in 2.0.5, disklabel might not be reporting correct information. The only way *I* know to set a disklabel with the new labeling scheme is to run /stand/sysinstall as root and tell the system about your partitions, labels, and mount points again. Using disklabel to do it would depend on whether or not the command was updated to understand the new slice code. There's got to be a better way, however, so I'm redirecting your question back to the list. Can anybody explain to Marxx (and me for that matter) the correct procedure for listing/changing disklabels on 2.0.5? In private e-mail we thought the reason he couldn't mount his DOS parition was that he might not have a label for it (even though the partition exists).

But FreeBSD does not work correctly with cr+lf or with cr The WinQVT/Net software seems to work fine. More problems in Macintosh NCSA Telnet 2.6 and DOS NCSA Telnet - in emacs Control-X Control-C seems to be same as Control-X Control-G. Control-C alone is acting like Control-G: it beeps. Control-C is showing C-c on the last line of emacs screen, but why beep? ** This is not the problem with "setup keys"! I have dissabled Interrupt Process! ** - in pine Control-Z and after fg it returns to pine with redrawing the screen as it should. What is the difference between pine (pico) and emacs+vi? Why pico is making it correctly but emacs is not? - I have no problems with NCSA Telnet if I first login to some other node (Linux, SunOS) and then make telnet into the FreeBSD node. Only a direct NCSA Telnet into the FreeBSD node dees not work. Related to DOS NCSA Telnet: It seems that after I one time try to connect with NCSA Telnet all sessions seem to hang about 1-2 minutes from all PC:s and Macintoshes with all emulatrors. It is hanging about 1-2 minutes after the message "You have mail". One more question: Whereis terminfo? Man terminfo is saying /usr/lib/terminfo but that is not correct. Is there terminfo in FreBSD?

I am a recent FreeBSD convert from Linux, and I'm very impressed with the product so far. I have a few questions. 1) FreeBSD detects the first disc in my Pioneer DRM-602X SCSI 6-disc cdrom drive, but doesn't check for more discs in the unit. Does FreeBSD support the full capacity of this (and other multi-disc drives), and if so, how can I get it working properly? 2) Last night, I recompiled the kernel as documented in the FAQ, and changed some of the default devices (ie. removed some I didn't need, adjusted the IRQs to my network card, etc). When the kernel boots, I get the following panic message: pmap_zero_page: CMAP BUSY kernel panic This happens (it appears) as FreeBSD is displaying the devices on the system. Thanks for your assistance - please direct replies either here or to rbeer@cris.com; thank you!

I need to connect a Novell Netware network to the internet through a single dial-up account (Demon in the UK). I evaluated a product called Novix, which you load as an NLM onto the Netware server. I don't know the details of how it does it but I think basically it tunnels tcp/ip connections across spx/ipx so that you can run winsock clients on you windows boxes and they talk to the Novix NLM on the Netware server and then Novix talks SLIP across the modem to the ISP. The big advantage of all this is that only the Novix server needs an ip address, the windows clients don't so the single ip address allocated to the dial-up box is all that's needed. Anyway, Novix's asynchronous NLM sucks big time and is totally incapable of keeping a dial-up connection alive and even if it does it can get into a real mess and drop packets everywhere. Since FreeBSD is known to work well in dial-up scenarious it would be great if I could use a FreeBSD box to talk to the ISP and have Novix talk across the LAN to the FreeBSD box. So, Novix is the SPX/IPX gateway to the tcp/ip LAN and FreeBSD is the gateway to the internet. There's a problem. I need to use fake ip addresses on the internal side of the FreeBSD box since there's only a single valid ip address allocated. I've thought about using socks on the FreeBSD box so that the fake internal ip addresses are never seen. Basically, I'm not sure this will work with Novix and I'm touting for experiences of solving this setup in general, i.e. connecting Netware networks to the internet across a dial-up connection where you've only had a single ip address allocated. Using FreeBSD would be nice, but spending bucks on a packaged solution would do me fine at this point but I'd really like to hear from people with known working solutions since I was told Novix was a really good "solution" but that didn't turn out to be the case. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems.

The CDROM has about 100MB of info in the root dir. When I try to "cat *" the /0 directory, everything is fine. Everything works well when I mount the same CDROM in the /dev/cdNa, where N=[0,5]. (I have created all devices using "cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV cdN;" where N=[0,6]) It does not made any difference if I used /dev/cdNc instead of /dev/cdNa...

Can you help me ? Any tips ? We here at CCJDR intend to use up to 3 "Seven CD Tower" but will the kernel accept more than 6 devices (0-5) ? We want to use 21 !!! Sorry for my poor english :-( If you have any doubt, ask me please. We should have a solution to this problem as early as possible. I believe that , if it is a kernel bug, it should be repaired before the 2.1 release, isn't it ? Finnaly, I'd like to thank you for the great work in the FreeBSD. It'is working very nice !!!

However, I'm still a bit confused as to the following: 1) The relationship between the dial and login scripts. I took a total guess and it seems to work. But I'm unsure as to exactly what magic stuff does what, etc. Is there some additional docs besides the man pages and Web pages that I can look at. In particular, the usage of "ABORT BUSY ABORT..." stuff confuses me and doesn't seem to work on my stuff. 2) I have two ISP's that I need to use (one gets me to the internet and the other gets me to a secure network). I would like to get two tunnel devices setup with the appropriate routing info such that I can have ppp dynamically call the right service provider depending upon where I am trying to get access to. However, I can't seem to get iijppp to use anything other than tun0. Any thoughts?

Until this point, I had two machines with no internet connectivity at all, so I had no worries as numbers. I used numbers I had found as listed useable for not-connected networks. I called the domain cbr (my initials) and the names journey2 (192.168.64.1) and n3lxx (my ham license, 192.168.64.2). My nameserver had no need to know about the world, and it doesn't. My namedb setup uses db.cbr for the cbr domain. db.127.0.0 for reverse mapping locally, db.192.168.64 for reverse mapping the cbr domain, and db.root for telling about the n3lxx nameserver. I really don't know how to tell the system it should recognize the outside world, while still allowing it to know about the two local machines. nslookup doesn't know about the three nameservers I know about on campus, so it can't query them. How can I set the network up so that it can know about my local machines as well as the world? Do I finally need to register my machines with the NIC?

BSD negotiates binary mode, when in fact it should be negotiating 8bit but non-binary. It remains to be seen (read on) whether this is BSD's fault or not. BSD does this negotiation because it is the only way to cleanly support non-7-bit locale information across a Telnet session. The BSD negotiation is RFC compliant, so I think perhaps the client isn't responding with "DONT X" for BSD's "WILL X" for values of "X" not known to the client (this behaviour is mandated by RFC, and option definition is further mandated such that default is "WONT X". This means that it's either a WILL/DONT for an option all clients are required to know about or a WONT/DO for an option the client doesn't know about, but is turning on anyway. The first is a bug in the client operation and the second is an actual RFC violation (which is why I tend to beleive the first). The EOL character sequence is translated to a common line format for 8-bit non-binary mode, and is translated on both ends. A non-binary connection will correctly handle differing end-of-line characters. On the other hand, it will not allow SLIP tunneling using a PTY, so hacking BSD to support your broken client isn't really a good option (unless BSD is offering a WILL on a non-default option/extension -- a BSD bug). > The WinQVT/Net software seems to work fine. This implies a client bug again. WinQVT/Net will use EOL characters of CR/LF in non-binary mode which would result in two line-end characters instead of one. Unless the difference is that WinQVT supports binary mode correctly and PCTCP is responding incorrectly to option negotiation. > More problems in Macintosh NCSA Telnet 2.6 and DOS NCSA Telnet > > - in emacs Control-X Control-C seems to be same as Control-X Control-G. > Control-C alone is acting like Control-G: it beeps. > Control-C is showing C-c on the last line of emacs screen, > but why beep? > ** This is not the problem with "setup keys"!

That it beeps in an emacs session is not indicative of "control-G"-ness; it is indicative of an Emacs command error. You should run "hd" or "od -hc" instead of emacs and send your keys. This will dump the incoming characters back to you as hex and character values a line (16 characters) at a time until you enter a ^D ("control-D"). This will allow you to see what is actuall being sent from your end (unless it's a ^D). > - in pine Control-Z and after fg it returns > to pine with redrawing the screen as it should. > What is the difference between pine (pico) and emacs+vi? > Why pico is making it correctly but emacs is not? The screen redraw is a result of one of two things: (1) a termcap based page flip using the termcap initialization/deinitialization string. This is the default mode of operation for X. Or (2), the program is catching the start signal and dealing with it (or setting a flag on the stop signal) and treating it as a redraw request by the user. There are several reasons you might want to do this in an editor, not the least of which is that you may want to see the results of your shell escape to determine your next edit. > - I have no problems with NCSA Telnet if I first login to > some other node (Linux, SunOS) and then make telnet into the > FreeBSD node. Only a direct NCSA Telnet into the FreeBSD node > dees not work. Seems a very obvious unitialized datum for the Binary mode option negotiation flag. NCSA Telnet should be corrected, one way or the other. Either it's a BSD bug for the initial negotiation and an NCSA bug for subsequent negotiations, or vice versa. I believe vice versa. > Related to DOS NCSA Telnet: > > It seems that after I one time try to connect with NCSA Telnet > all sessions seem to hang about 1-2 minutes from all PC:s and > Macintoshes with all emulatrors. It is hanging about 1-2 minutes > after the message "You have mail". The DOS terminal emulator does not react correctly to partial escape sequences. It also does not trap cursor relocation address ranges. Most probably, you are unconditionally running "resize" in your .cshrc or .profile or .bashrc, etc. You should only run "resize" for a terminal type of "xterm" to be sure to not confuse some terminals. If you want to "live on the edge", you can check only for the explicit terminal type sent in by the offending emulator. Basically, an untrapped screen position causes the emulator to start writing whatever memory follows the emulation screen memory. It is also possible that the emulation does not correctly handle partial escape sequences while allowing commands from the user to be sent to the remote system prior to the completion of the sequence. This is a bug in the I/O queueing model in the emulator. Finally, it's possible that the telnet is incorrectly negotiating line mode for something other than a tty connection (ie: the type of connection you would get for a mud or irc if they were propoerly wrapped with telent option negotiation on the line -- most aren't). > One more question: Whereis terminfo? Man terminfo is saying > /usr/lib/terminfo but that is not correct. Is there terminfo in FreBSD? Terminfo is non-default. When linking with the correct libraries, a terminfo database per se is not required. The default under BSD is termcap. For more information, you should read the terminfo man page in detail. If you have a source tree, you should also take a look at: /usr/src/lib/mytinfo /usr/src/lib/ncurses Regards, Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

A quick session with `telnet -D report' demonstrates that the problem is due to bugs in the LINEMODE implementation (not to be confused with the character-at-a-time (WILL ECHO) and old line-at-a-time (WONT ECHO) modes). It is not clear which piece of software has the bugs in it (although I'm inclined to believe it's NCSA). The problems you see in Emacs result from the fact that Emacs runs by default in CBREAK mode (well, !ICANON && ISIG mode nowadays) and then changes some of the special characters so that, while in Emacs, your INTR character is ^G rather than ^C. Some program somewhere along the way isn't behaving the way it should, and is still translating ^C into a TELNET Interrupt Process command. This is also the reason why suspending and resuming Emacs doesn't work the way you'd expect. A workaround solution is to go to the File>Preferences>Session section and disable the ``Allow linemode'' check-box. > That it beeps in an emacs session is not indicative of "control-G"-ness; > it is indicative of an Emacs command error.

I am currently running FreeBSD version 2.0 on a 486. Works great! But I have had some minor problems with speeds on my serial ports. Currently, I am running kermit over a slip link to netcom. Unfortunately, I am doing this at 9600 bps since the operating system doesn't recognize the request to run at either 14400 or 28800. I have built kermit to recognize these speeds. So the question is this: Does the new (2.0.5 OR 2.1) release recognize the other speeds for higher throughput? I know about running the port at as high a speed as possible (115K?) and I tried it. But kermit and the OS are still not talking the same language. tia, Chris From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 11 11:51:39 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id LAA03505 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 11:51:39 -0700 Received: from crh.cl.msu.edu (crh.cl.msu.edu [35.8.1.24]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA03498 for ; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 11:51:34 -0700 Received: (from henrich@localhost) by crh.cl.msu.edu (8.6.11/8.6.9) id OAA22777; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 14:52:15 -0400 Date: Fri, 11 Aug 1995 14:52:15 -0400 From: Charles Henrich Message-Id: <199508111852.OAA22777@crh.cl.msu.edu> To: terry@cs.weber.edu, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Some serious problems with telnet in FreeBSD 2.0.5 R ... more Newsgroups: lists.freebsd.questions References: <40g6ed$mp8@msunews.cl.msu.edu> X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #3 (NOV) Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk >BSD negotiates binary mode, when in fact it should be negotiating 8bit >but non-binary.

Hopefully at least one of you will answer! I've just installed Free BSD 2.0.5 on my Pentium system, and I have one major (if somewhat difficult) question, and a bunch of minor questions. The major question is more of a problem description: I had just installed Free BSD and was configuring things when suddenly files in /usr and /home started to disappear! The most important victim was /usr/bin, after which I was more or less dead in the water. So I hit the reset button. I realize this is a somewhat vague description, but I'm afraid I can't say what, if anything in particular, triggered this disaster. After I reset, the system would not reboot. It gave a warning about the root file system not being clean, then hung (no disk activity). Here's the relevant hardware information: Pentium with an Intel Zappa board, with I believe the Triton chip set (I'll have to check the pci driver messages again.) Two Conner 2501S hard drives, SCSI ID 0 (DOS) SCSI ID 1 (Free BSD) Toshiba 3601B CD reader, SCSI ID 2 Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller A possible source of the problem is that my Sound Blaster 16 card also has a SCSI controller (the only way I could get a DSP, sigh). At first, the aic driver was detecting it and panicking, but once I disabled it (and the dozen other disk drivers I didn't need), things seemed to work okay, until the crash at least. There doesn't seem to be any problem with this setup under DOS and Windows, and Windows 95. It is NOT plugged into the SCSI bus. I could try changing some of its hardware settings, just to see if it can be moved out of harm's way, but I'm not sure it really matters, and I may move it INTO harm's way, so I'm holding off on that without a definite recommendation of what to change and where to. If this rings any bells at all and someone can offer a solution or workaround so it doesn't happen again, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm going to re-install Free BSD this weekend and see if it happens again. (Yikes! I hope not!) Smaller issues, in no particular order: When I installed Free BSD, I asked it to install BootEasy, but apparently it installed it on the second disk, since when I boot, it still boots DOS. To boot Free BSD, I have to insert the Free BSD boot floppy and type sd(1,a)/kernel. In this light, I have these questions: Can I install BootEasy on my DOS disk, and will it work if I do? In particular, I'm wondering if it will it work with Windows 95, who seems to be doing weird boot things. Is there a way I can change the default device on the boot floppy? I wouldn't mind having to stick in the floppy to boot Free BSD, but it's a pain to have to sit there while it's booting so I can type the name of the device. Also, is there a way to have a default kernel name so that I can only type the device, without having to add the /kernel? This seems to be standard practice on this flavor of UNIX booters, I'm surprised it's not already built in. For that matter, it would nice if there were default partition numbers, so that I could just say sd(1). Again, this seems to be standard on most UNIX booters. Are the options to the boot/kernel documented anywhere? I couldn't find it in the boot_i386 man page, the only one I could find mentioned anywhere is -c for UserConfig. I'm guessing the -s is single-user mode, since that's pretty standard, but it would be interesting to know what the others are. When I booted off floppy, it says to boot using hd(1,a)/kernel if sd and wd are both installed, or something like that. Not knowing what it was talking about, I tried that, and it started to boot Free BSD, but after going through all the drivers, it wanted to change root to /dev/sd0a instead of /dev/sd1a, so it failed. I figured out later that I could boot by saying sd(1,a)/kernel, but was this earlier problem a bug or a feature? Maybe the message should change to be more informative, or less misleading? When I boot, it says that the PCI driver is using 8 megabutes of memory! Is this real memory? That seems excessive, even if I do have 32 Mbytes of memory. When I run vi, it says my terminal doesn't have a # key. I like to map this key to ^^, since it's normally not used by vi. (Similarly, I like to map g to ^].) Why does vi think I don't have a # key? Speaking of #, I tried typing in ':e #' to vi and it said that it had nothing to substitute for '#', but I had just ':e'-ed from another file. Has nvi changed the meaning of '#'? I hope not. Is there a vi that's more compatible with classic vi around? I'm starting to feel uneasy feeling about nvi. I was thinking that maybe I could work around this problem by having the virtual console run in vt220 mode. Do you think this would help? Is it true that I need to rebuild the kernel to do this? Also, I wouldn't mind if the consoles had more lines, since I have a fairly large screen. I've seen documentation that this is possible onthe pcvt man page, but no explanation really on how. Kernel rebuild? I have an HP DeskJet 540 printer, which I bought for DOS, not thinking about Unix, unfortunately, or else I would have spent the extra $$$ for a laser printer. Is there a driver for this printer, especially one that supports color? I tried just sending text to /dev/lpt1 using lpr, but that didn't seem to work. It did make the light on my printer blink, its only form of communication, and not a very useful one at that. I saw somewhere (release notes?) that the MSDOS file system may not work with file systems for DOS after 3.3. I have DOS 6.2.2. Will this be a problem? It seemed to mount okay, but I was a little wary of doing much. By the way, it was mounted when things started to disappear in /usr. It would be bad if the MSDOS file system caused other file systems to scramble a completely different disk! Is there a way to turn off the csh warning that there are relative paths in $path when it's run by root? I can prevent it from exporting any in my .cshrc, but I can do little about importing. If the very first line in my .cshrc sets $path to something without relative names, will that supress the importing warning? Wish list: It would be nice when making partitions if I could pass parameters to newfs. In particular, I like to make the "root only" percentage zero on all but the root file system, and I like to increase the blocks-per-inode value. I think I will probably have to back things up and remake file systems after installation to be able to do this. It would be nice if non-root people could mount removable media, or at least floppies. Although CD's would be nice, too. It would also be nice if someone did the auto-mounting feature for these devices, the way they are on System V. Speaking of System V, it would also be nice if there were a way to put entries in /etc/fstab that aren't automatically mounted so I could say "mount /cdrom" when I want to do that. Okay, so it's a one-line shell script, but still, it would be nice. I have lots of these one-line shell scripts, like mountcd, mountfd, mountdos. I'll probably want to make read-only versions of the last two. And I will have to make some more if my Iomega Zip drive ever arrives.

Make sure your terminating resistors on the drives are set up properly. If they are off in any way, they may work with simple OS's like dos, but not UNIX. The resistor problem often causes the machine to appear to write to the hard drive correctly, but the info actually never physically gets placed on the drive, the controller just returns a code of 0 for success. Some of these controllers do not recognize these problems correctly. The appearance that some of the data may be recorded and some may not can be the ghosty workings of scsi drives terminated improperly. Sometimes the cache will keep enough information in memory not sync'ed to appear fine everytime you look. But after a couple of megs have been saved, the os starts syncing the disks (but no data is saved) it goes to scsispace. Jeff -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Jeffrey D.

But kermit and the OS are still not talking the same language. You've made some errors here. Those speeds of 14400 and 28800 are things you can't have and don't want. First thing, just because you've forced your version of kermit to swallow those numbers without burping, you won't get your uart to do those numbers; even if you had done that, you wouldn't want to. See, those 14400 and 28800 modems compress the data as they send it at those rates, so they need to be fed data much faster, and need to be able to get the data much faster too. Many folks set up 28800 modems to communicate at 115200 bps. Trick here is, just because a modem is sending data at 28800 to the far end modem, doesn't mean that it communicates with your computer at that rate; that doesn't happen. The modem senses the rate you communicate to it adaptively, and changes to suit your whim. That way, if the far end sends something to your that compresses real well, say loads of blank lines (maybe filled with spaces!), your modem will compress tat data, and send it much, much fater than 28800. What happens if the modem gets too darn good at compressing, and overruns your set data rate? Two leads in the RS-232 interface, called RTS/CTS, control how fast the transmit can go, by siwtching on and off the interface on sending. Two more leads help on receiving. Just recompile your kermit back to what it was to begin with, and set a data rate that's lots higher than your line rate. I don't personally like to use 115200, I use 38400, but nearly all the data I send has been compressed before it's stuffed into the modem to begin with (gzipped files). Give up trying to get 14400 and 28800 directly, you don't need it and won't miss it. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 2.0.5-snap-0726) and (301) 220-2114 | n3lxx (FreeBSD 2.0.5-snap-0622) -- Great! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 11 13:27:02 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id NAA08461 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 13:27:02 -0700 Received: from cec.wustl.edu (cec.wustl.edu [128.252.158.11]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with SMTP id NAA08455 for ; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 13:26:57 -0700 Received: from mattrose (dialin-37.wustl.edu) by cec.wustl.edu (5.x/ECL-A1.27) id AA04280; Fri, 11 Aug 1995 15:26:43 -0500 Message-Id: <9508112026.AA04280@cec.wustl.edu> Date: Fri, 11 Aug 95 15:25:17 -0500 From: Matt Rosenberg X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.2b4 (Windows; I; 32bit) Mime-Version: 1.0 Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Adaptec 2742W Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Earlier this week I had asked about my Seagate 43401N drive which wasn't being read correctly. I had several dozen people mail me telling me to fix the partition table, and I tried to tell as many as I could that BSD wasn't even getting as far as reading the partition table, and the disklabeling program wouldn't even let me access the disk to make any changes. Even turning off extended translation in the adaptor setup didn't work. After screwing around for a few days I found the solution: TURN OFF THE "INITIATE WIDE NEGOTIATION" BIT IN THE ADAPTOR SETUP! That worked. Now I have another problem. I recompiled a kernel to add a second adhc device for my other Adaptec 2742, and took out all of the superfluous device lines in the kernel configuration. It compiled correctly, but hung right after finishing loading the kernel and probing devices (but it did probe the second adaptor correctly). I started over from GENERIC and this time the only change I made was adding the second adhc device. Same problem. I made the device line exactly identical to the first device line except for changing adhc1 to adhc2. I am not loading the BIOS from the second adaptor and I changed the IRQ on the second one to 12 (the first IRQ is 11) because when they were both set to 11 (Adaptec says to keep them the same) BSD refused to probe the second bus.

This is called "tunneling". Here is the equivalent process on a UNIX box not using an NLM on the Novell side: ,----------------. ,-------------. ,----------------. | NetWare client | | UNIX system | | NetWare server | `----------------' `-------------' `----------------' | | ^ NCP over NDIS/ODI process | | | NCP over IPX V v | ,------------------. ,-------------------. ,----------------. | Tunneling driver | | Tunneling process | | Server IPX/ODI | `------------------' `-------------------' `----------------' | ^ | ^ | | IPX | | TCP/IP | | v | `---------------' ,-----------------. ,-------------. | SLIP/PPP attach | | SLIP server | `-----------------' `-------------' | ^ | | | | v | ,-------------. ,-------------. | Async modem |----->| Async modem | `-------------' `-------------' > Anyway, Novix's asynchronous NLM sucks big time and is totally > incapable of keeping a dial-up connection alive and even if it does > it can get into a real mess and drop packets everywhere.

Unfortunately, I don't know what negotiation the client piece (the tunneling driver in the picture above) does in terms of negotiating the connection for NOVIX. Probably it negotiates the connection end to end via the SLIP connection on the dialup box, which means that there is probably some protocol encapsulation control messages which you wouldn't be able to handle on its behalf. Most likely, the request/response nature of NCP and the NOVIX code not identifying itself as a router (thereby dropping the IPX MTU to 512) is probably what is screwing you on performance. That, and most high speed modems don't do line turnaround very quickly; without a sliding window, you will need to turn the connection around on a per packet basis. The real bandwidth available on a so-called "high speed modem" is generally much smaller than you'd expect based on the advertised rates it supports, or even normal TCP/SLIP connection, which are sliding window in nature. There are other tricks that you could do with the request packets to make sure that you didn't generate excess line traffic during the latency interval (in general, you'll need to do this because of the expotential back off and the retry frequency causing multiple duplicate IPX requests and responses). The packet drops I don't understand unless you are (incorrectly) counting the retransmits on the client and server side as if they were dropped packets. I would recommend against an NLM in any case, unless it were very, very carefully engineered, since the non-preemptive tasking model on the server implies a serious server slowdown on a long delay link if they keep the processor until the encapsulation ACK has occurred. Probably there is even a better design available, but it would assume an external router with an internal net number (ie: a NetWare 3.11 type routing environment). Each incoming connection to the "local" IPX net would seem like a locally attached external net to the internal router and the external "cards". In effect, each incoming SLIP connection would be treated either as if it were on its own external net by itself, or as if it were on the internal net. The effect here would be that you would then be required to maintain SAP traffic for the gateway system to proxy-answer (forward/bridge) SAP requests. This could either be done through a special case protocol architecture violation on the SLIP serving box (GetNearestServer is not supposed to be bridged) or by the router lying and identifying a bridged server as the nearest server in its response. This second is more painful, since it requires the router/bridge to have NCP internal knowledge (not a good thing). > There's a problem.

The Novell "soloution" in this case is LANWorkplace NCP over IP. In reality, this is, once again, protocol encapsulated IPX packets; there is no true NCP-over-IP implementation. The deencapsulation is hidden on the server side. In this case, you use the SLIP capability of the LANWorkplace product to get onto a TCP/IP net with a NetWare server running NetWare TCP/IP and straddling the local (IPX) net and the non-local (TCP/IP) net. You bind the TCP/IP stack to the card attached to the TCP/IP net and running the SLIP server. What the SLIP server is is really irrelevant, as long as the LANWorkplace can get into it: it could be a BSD box or a Livingston Portmaster, etc. This is a bit of an expensive soloution, both on the TCP/IP for the server and for the LANWorkplace on a per client basis. It's really up in the air whether this would be more expensive than using the BSD IPX stack and writing your own software for the client (overall about two weeks work on the client, assuming a full Level 2 MSDN membership so that you'll have the MS DDK and the sample NDIS driver code. I don't know if the all Novell arrangement would eliminate the excess and duplicate traffic or not; I think that to do it you'd have to be sneaky and clever at the same time. The soloution is rather non-obvious and rests solely on the client side of things, and I don't know if they were as sneaky as I would have been. It too relies on some knowledge of NCP to work.

It looks to me like with 2.0.5 and later you've got a chicken-and-egg problem, where the dynamic buffer cache and files in core kind of chase each other around in a circle. The more files you load the more they fill RAM, while the buffer caches them and fills RAM still more. If the buffer cache is able to generate swap in order to make room for its own growth, it may be kicking out LRU (least recently used) stuff, but if the point is to avoid drive access, generating swap (a form of drive access which can also crash programs when there is no more) sounds like it wouldn't be everyone's choice in all circumstances. I, being simplistic and naive, would have assumed that the buffer cache would stop growing and start to shrink once RAM filled up, giving up ground rather that generating swap to gain it. I assume, of course, that your algorithms derive from work done to discover the best trade-offs for heavily loaded server systems. Most of us concerned about this problem are desktop users, I think. I'm still running 2.0, which with my 8 MB of RAM allocates a static buffer cache of just under 1 MB, and I have 16 MB of swap partition. Yet my results sound similar to people with 32 MB of RAM running 2.0.5 with the dynamic cache. But I briefly had the 2.0.5 kernel built and running on my 2.0 installation (briefly, because numerous incompatibilities kept it from being very useful), and I found that I could do more before running out of swap, as if I had gained about a MB of swap space (the amount of static cache under the 2.0 kernel). Perhaps most of the RAM usage in this case involved allocated memory, rather than (cached) files. You must feel like heavily loaded servers yourselves, sometimes.

I'm wondering how I go about substituting GNU malloc for BSD malloc(). I have the XFree86 3.1 link kit for FreeBSD 2.0, and the XFree86 3.0 source tree on a Walnut Creek X11R6 CD-ROM. I wasn't able to find any way to replicate what you did. I'm actually interested in rebuilding just about everything to use GNU malloc(). I'm a fanatic about this. I've already rebuilt the entire /bin and /sbin directories to use shared libraries, even init! It works fine, but from David Greenman's complaints about shared library RAM usage, I'm not sure that it really accomplishes much, since it only saves a couple of MB on the disk. The interesting point is that I've never been able to detect any performance degradation from having done that! Of course, I run a lightly loaded desktop machine, not a server running a lot of scripts.

Samba looks like it's the best bet, but I haven't had time to install it. And I have more questions---:) I've been using 2.0R for 7 months, and it's been very solid. In the next few weeks, I need to install FreeBSD 2.0.5 on another PC. So, I have some questions I haven't been able to answer. My setup: one FreeBSD box (P90, 16M, SCSI,IDE, no cdrom), three PC's(various) running Win95, with IDE cdrom's. All connected via ethernet, Win95 machines running MS's preinstalled network stuff (netbios, netbuei(spelling?)), with basic tcp/ip services provided by the FreeBSD machine (ftp,telnet, packet routing) - no pcnfs, samba, etc. 1) I'd like to get the cd and install from it. Is there a simple way to do this? Ugly question, I know. I'd rather not have to swap cdrom drives around (I'd like to buy the cdrom, 'cause I like the OS and want to support it, but can't spring for a SCSI cdrom). Any way to do a network install with this setup? Does 2.0.5 support IDE teac 4x cdroms? 2) If not: I've looked through the ftp site, and can't find a solid list of directories that I need to get to do an install. (and instructions, etc). Can someone point me in the right direction? 3) What kind of performance hit will I take running this on a 486/33 w/ 4M? (getting mail, routing, possible running an Xwindows server for network clients). Any suggestions as to more memory vs. faster processor vs. faster HD (IDE :( ? 4) Are there any 486 motherboards I should avoid? (I've heard that they're all okay, but after dealing with Pentium mb's, I'm a little leery). Any problem with generic VGA cards? Sorry if some of these are no-brainers -- this is kind of critical, as it will be used as a backup site for the place I work. Thanks in advance for any help. -Thor From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 12 08:23:10 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id IAA28721 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 12 Aug 1995 08:23:10 -0700 Received: from haywire.DIALix.COM (haywire.DIALix.COM [192.203.228.65]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA28715 for ; Sat, 12 Aug 1995 08:23:06 -0700 Received: (from news@localhost) by haywire.DIALix.COM (8.7.Beta.11/8.7.Beta.11/DIALix) id XAA18458 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 12 Aug 1995 23:22:55 +0800 (WST) Received: from GATEWAY by haywire.DIALix.COM with netnews for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org (problems to: usenet@haywire.dialix.com) To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: 12 Aug 1995 23:22:51 +0800 From: peter@haywire.dialix.com (Peter Wemm) Message-ID: <40ih0b$i0m$1@haywire.DIALix.COM> Organization: DIALix Services, Perth, Australia.

It looks like your ISP doesn't do ident lookups. The RFC931 timeout was set "not too long to cause serious problems, but long enough to annoy the hell out of pc users with broken stacks, so as to `encourage' them to bug their vendor for a fix". I dont recall who said that, it might have been Eric Allman (author of sendmail), but I do NOT know for sure.. If this is causing you serious hardship, you can disable the ident lookup when you compile sendmail. Look at about line 995 of /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/src/conf.h - change the IDENTPROTO value to "0" and see if that helps. You really should bug your PC tcpip stack vendor - you are going to see more and more of this problem in the future, as ident becomes more and more widespread. -Peter From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 12 10:11:47 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) id KAA02973 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 12 Aug 1995 10:11:47 -0700 Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [192.216.222.3]) by freefall.FreeBSD.org (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id KAA02967 ; Sat, 12 Aug 1995 10:11:46 -0700 Received: from palmer.demon.co.uk (palmer.demon.co.uk [158.152.50.150]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.11) with ESMTP id KAA03534 ; Sat, 12 Aug 1995 10:10:59 -0700 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by palmer.demon.co.uk (8.6.11/8.6.11) with SMTP id SAA02012 ; Sat, 12 Aug 1995 18:06:06 +0100 X-Message: This is a dial-up site.

Demon Internet don't allow you to have multiple IP's routed through the same link unless you buy an entire class C off them (yes, I know that they are free, but you have to pay DIS to route it to you, etc, etc), and I seem to remember that they only do Class C rental as part of their leased line package now, although I could be mistaken (I haven't looked at their price structure for a while now). So either the FreeBSD box would have to do address re-writing, or you're up a gum tree without a paddle (or you're back to the origional problem with netware-over-modem).

So you must tunnel all the way to the other end from your end. The problem is that SL/IP takes an IP, period. You will need to write new gateway software to get what you want.

Based on FAQ recommendation sysinstall allows me to define the partition and label part but I can not commit because I am not installing a new system. Also, I have followed section 3.6 of the FAQ on the www.FreeBSD.org and have the same problem. fdisk always returns ioctl DIOCWLABEL: Operation not supported by device and disklabel returns write: No such file or directory bsd001 /kernel: sd1: can not find label (no disk label) If anyone has added drives before I will appreciate it if you can send me the steps required for successful implementation.

Hopefully at least one of you will answer! The questions list is best, though Walnut Creek generally does their best with such questions when they cross its doorstep.

This sounds like problems with your hardware, to be honest. If Windows '95 and DOS ran previously then this unfortunately doesn't really prove anything since neither OS really pushes the hardware anywhere near as hard as FreeBSD and many problems can often go unnoticed for years in such environments. I would check the following things in this order: 1. Cache timings set too fast? Cache type needs to be set to write-through instead of write-back? Some motherboards have bad DMA invalidation logic that predicates write-through caching only. 2. Proper number of wait-states (4-2-2 is good) set in BIOS? 3. SCSI controller configured properly? Proper termination? Cable looks physically OK? I've seen a number of disks eaten from improper termination (more than one device terminated on bus, etc) or a cable that was just plain marginal in quality. 4. Intel Zappa board is infamous broken version? I don't have the board IDs of the broken ones that Intel shipped, but your dealer should have that information. It was pretty well advertised at the time. > A possible source of the problem is that my Sound Blaster 16 card > also has a SCSI controller (the only way I could get a DSP, sigh). > At first, the aic driver was detecting it and panicking, but once > I disabled it (and the dozen other disk drivers I didn't need), I don't think that's a problem. > When I installed Free BSD, I asked it to install BootEasy, but > apparently it installed it on the second disk, since when I boot, > it still boots DOS.

This seems to be standard It's generally already set that way, just not with the floppy boot blocks (unless you just hit return, in which case a complete set of defaults, including /kernel, is used). > Are the options to the boot/kernel documented anywhere? > I couldn't find it in the boot_i386 man page, the only one > I could find mentioned anywhere is -c for UserConfig. > I'm guessing the -s is single-user mode, since that's > pretty standard, but it would be interesting to know > what the others are.

No, it's just using an 8MB window out of the 4GB address space you have. Not 8MB of real memory. > When I run vi, it says my terminal doesn't have a # key.

I have yet to find any incompatibilites with nvi, and I'm sort of a vi "power user" so I suspect that I'd have found them.

Kernel rebuild? You need to rebuild to get pcvt, but 50 lines is quite possible with syscons.

Well, there ARE known problems with the DOS filesystem code but only if you mount the fs read/write. The installation mounts it read-only by default, which doesn't cause problems. Doing significant writes to a DOS fs WILL scramble your entire filesystem's brains pretty good and we're working on this problem.. > Is there a way to turn off the csh warning that there are relative > paths in $path when it's run by root?

We've actually got a feature like this in the works!
