Using the system defaults the username is echo'ed only after carriage return and, once logged, shell commands are only echoed after carrriage returns. If I change telnetd to telnetd -l (LINE MODE) inside /etc/inetd.conf then command names are echo'ed properly, but this seems to break the paging keys in the more command. I know the problem is specific to the combination of NCSA Telnet and FreeBSD because WINQVT telnet and FreeBSD work fine as do NCSA Telnet and Linux. Any ideas? (please e-mail). Cheers, Mark.

I've got two sepparate versions of pppd, one for static ip's with pap authentication, and one for dynamic ip's. The first reads the normal /etc/ppp/options file. The dynamic version doesn't look at the options file, but looks at the /etc/ppp/options.tty files in stead. When I start the dynamic version, nothing's amiss, but when a user logs on with the static version, the pppd in question uses 100% CPU or more (doesn't seem to do the system much damage however) and doesn't get killed when the user hangs up. The pppd remains active even after the modem has hung up. A normal 'kill pid' doesn't work, it needs a 'kill -9 pid' to kick the pppd of the system. Of course this doesn't do the routing tables much good. Does anyone have any clue to what is happening here ? my options file for static pppd: crtscts asyncmap a0000 proxyarp debug modem +pap passive name xs1 auth My options file for dynamic pppd: (note: this is different ip's for each serial) crtscts asyncmap a0000 modem passive :193.78.46.200 remotename PPP46-200 Should I kick the 'passive' out in both options files ? Anyone any suggestions why the difference in behaviour ? The setup above has worked fine with NetBSD, same version of pppd, and with FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 some other version of pppd, dunno which. - Rob. /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 17 10:59:31 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id KAA20902 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 17 Sep 1995 10:59:31 -0700 Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [192.216.222.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id KAA20871 for ; Sun, 17 Sep 1995 10:59:26 -0700 Received: from fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu (Fieber-John.campusview.indiana.edu [149.159.1.34]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.11) with ESMTP id IAA10192 for ; Sun, 17 Sep 1995 08:21:12 -0700 Received: (from jfieber@localhost) by fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu (8.6.11/8.6.9) id KAA10409; Sun, 17 Sep 1995 10:20:11 -0500 Date: Sun, 17 Sep 1995 10:20:10 -0500 (EST) From: John Fieber To: Patrick Thomas - CSC cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Followup to Installing Floppies In-Reply-To: <9509121928.AA18035@ascc.robins.af.mil> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 12 Sep 1995, Patrick Thomas - CSC wrote: > The only reference to boot.flp is to do a "dd" on the file.

For example, I logged in twice to two different Hmm.. Now I am starting to doubt. I just checked, and now I remember why I implemented it. The limit a user can set is bounded by maxproc, the max number of processes on the machine. I thought this was too high. I want both a bound on the number of processes on the machine, as well as a bound on the max procs a signle user can have. The same was done for the number of filedescripters.

The idea is to get a 64kbps connection as opposed to the existing 28.8 hookup. 2) I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5 on my personal system (fledge, which I'm sending this email from.) It's a Pentium 120 w/32 megs of ram, and running under XFree86. I advised a user on the system to use screen this morning, only to discover that it coredumps with a segmentation fault whenever used here. It is the screen from the packages directory, and instaled using pkg_manage. Is there anything I should know? ;) also, I was wondering if anyone had recompiled the olvwm clients at some point so that cmdtool and shelltool didn't dump either. BTW, I thought I might include a quick thanks and such -- FreeBSD is running pretty much flawlessly on my pentium with great performance, and is serving my Windows system using Samba very very nicely. I'm also running a web server off of it, and while contracting for the National Institutes of Health/National Center for Human Genome Research installed several workstations there with FreeBSD and XFree86 dfor WWW development work to supplement their existing Sparcstations/server setup. I'm going to continue advising customers that FreeBSD is the way to go for a cheap but very reliable net setup for pretty much any purpose. And a quick word about the FAQ -- you might want to add a line about plug-n-play ethernet cards under FreeBSD machines -- disabling PnP tends to help a lot. we installed Windows 95 and FreeBSD on two machines and found that in each case we had problems until we disabled PnP and hard configured the ethernet cards. Then it worked fine ;). The SMC EzEthercard I was using gave a variety of errors and failures as windows 95 wuld reconfigure it every boot, and one couldn't reliably predict the configuration at boottime to add to the kernel config.

I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5 installed from the cdrom. The attached drive is an 2.3 GB HP drive. The Pentium installed is a 90Mhz Pentium. After changing the motherboard and the SCSI controller from an adaptec 1542A to an PCI 4290 the system comes up very fastly as expected. (Some strange core-dumps occured in the following process). Trying to determine the better SCSI performance I was running bonnie. The system crashes with a panic giving something like: Page fault: supervisor write, page not present (This seems to be an already known bug-report with the number 688 in GNATS) After several tries my filesystem was so messed up (after several fsck's) that even the kernel wasn't found anymore. So I decided to reinstall. I was not able to reinstall sucsessfully. The system crashes at the time to make a newfs on the larger /usr-partition with the same panic. FYI, the things I tried to solve this problem are: - running the installation with an old Hercules card - I changed the PCI 2940 back to the 1542A - I tried nearly everything in the bios systematically - I disabled internal and external caches - I put down the system speed to 75 Mhz, all caching disabled, Then I was at my end. My conclusion is that is HAS to be the motherboard or chipset. Now I am running my old system again after reinstalling. I would be glad hearing from anyone who run into the same difficulties. What's with bug no. 688 ? Is this really an software bug ? (BTW. a reliable way to reproduce this error could be bonnie). Should I buy another motherboard ?

I thought it'd been stable for quite some time now. Anyhow, the version that I've compiled with gdbtk is 4.14.88.

For the past few months I have been trying to use xntpd (via sysconfig) to keep my system clock in line. The problem I have is that due to my ISP's modem/terminal concentrator/whatever, my initial dial-up & connect during /etc/rc & /etc/netstart almost never works. It usually take between 3 - 6 attempts before I get a "good" connection and my link stays up (this in itself is not a big deal most of the time). I'm also running a caching only name server. Where the problem comes in is that 90% of the time, xntpd will ignore all of the hosts in /etc/ntp.conf if the PPP link is not active when it is started up. E.g. if I reboot and "pppd" can't establish a connection to my ISP, my /etc/netstart will continue on, and then /etc/rc will continue on. If the PPP link is not active when xntpd starts, it pretty much loses/throws away/ignores all of the host infomation in /etc/ntp.conf. Unless I kill xntpd and restart it by hand, while the PPP link is active, xntpd will do no time adjustments. I don't want to make /etc/netstart wait until the PPP link is ready, since that could take a while (esp. if my ISP is down), and I want my machine up NOW if I reboot it. Is there a simple way for me to tell xntpd to try and contact the time servers again without any manual intervention or killing and restarting it? Or is this just a "bug" in xntpd that needs to be fixed (most likely)? I'm willing to try to fix it if it is. I've tried switching back to running ntpdate once an hour, but my clock seems to lose at least 1 second per hour, so I'm always "stepping" the time once an hour, which I would rather not have to do (why can't someone make an accurate PC clock?????). I hope that all made sense. It has been a *LONG* night. -Mike -- Mike Pritchard mpp@mpp.minn.net "Go that way. Really fast.

However, it depends on having UNIX running where your data is. One way to do it (being used by a friend of mine on his WfWG box,) is to Samba export a part of the FreeBSD machine's disk. Then the WfWG machine mounts the Samba export, and backs up there (MS Backup is what we use.) Afterwards, anything at all can be done on UNIX side.

If you set up the appropriate authentication mechanism, you can use xntpdc(8) to manually reconfigure the daemon, but it's not an easy process. You might also hack the xntpd internal resolver to continually retry DNS lookups in the case of a temporary failure (h_errno == SERVFAIL || h_errno == TRYAGAIN). (But keep in mind that gethostbyname() doesn't set h_errno for NIS and /etc/hosts lookups, or didn't last I looked.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Well, you could I spose, but if you leave it out, even if someone manages to put a copy of csh called false in the bin directory, he will still be denied access on the grounds of an invalid shell..

Fvwm seems to be unable to communicate with it's modules (it does that via pipes, and passes the fds as args to the module). Whenever tcsh is used at a level "above" fvwm (as login shell, in an xterm that is a parent or grandparent of fvwm) fvwm can't communicate with it's modules. Fvwm works fine when invoked via xdm/.xsession (that is, only /bin/sh involved). When I do a loop and checks for open descriptors that are terminals (via filetest -t NN), there are a few extra fds open in the 10-20 range. I have a faint memeory of some old csh/tcsh bug that messes up file descriptors, is that true, or is it a FreeBSD 2.0.5 problem?

I mailed this out before and didn't see a reply, but I may have missed it.. Anyway, I was wondering if there is a way to mount extended DOS partitions under FreeBSD 2.0.5. Also, I have a PAS 16 sound card.. In my 486/66, it works great, but in my pentium it is acting like it has a IRQ conflict. (i.e. cating to /dev/audio causes the sound to repeat forever) I've tripple checked my IRQ's, and am pretty sure there isn't a conflict unless I don't understand the way my PCI and ISA work together.. I have a scsi controller, video, and ethernet on the PCI bus with IRQ's 15, 13, and 9. I have one serial port on IRQ 4 one parallel on IRQ 7, and the PAS 16 is on IRQ 12 with the soundblaster part of the board at IRQ 5. The kernel config is identical as it was on the 486, and there were no problems compiling it. Any ideas? Any help appreciated..

That won't help. Shared object libraries are not created with 'ar', rather with 'ld'. The closest that I can think of to documentation would be to read 'man ld' and look for a description of '-Bshareable'. It is possible that this documentation is not 100% accurate due to FreeBSD specific differences in object structures. I really cannot speak authoritatively on this. -- Edward E.

Logins at 2400 bps on my FreeBSD machine don't display text properly. I have a FreeBSD 2.0.5 system running on a 486DX2-66 with 8 megs of memory. The modem is a USRobotics Sportster 14,400; it is plugged in a serial port which has a 16550 UART (the number may be slightly wrong, but it is a chip with a FIFO). The serial rate is at 57600 bps and the connection rate is variable. I use the "std.57600" gettytab entry (if such an entry doesn't exist a in standard FreeBSD gettytab, then I guess I created it myself and don't remember... If I created it myself, I did so by a straightforward modification of the std.19200 entry). I use the modem to allow some users to log into my machine. Some of them login at 2400 bps (with 2400 bps modems), using their PC with Telix or Telemate. They use the vt100 termcap. They complain that the text is not properly displayed on their terminal. For example, the command 'ls -l /usr/games' will display the first few lines, then some messed up text indicating that some kind of overflow happened. What could be the cause of this? I don't understand why such problems happen at a speed as low as 2400 bps. One user has a 14,400 bps modem (a GVC, I think) and doesn't have those problems when he's logged in at more than 14,400 bps. Of course, he is then using the error checking modes of his modem. I noticed the 'xo' boolean variable that a termcap can contain. If I add that to the vt100 termcap and ask my users to turn on their Telix/Telemate XON/XOFF mechanism, could it help? Thanks.

I wonder if I'm framing things right? When I said to post it again, I didn't mean to me, I meant to the entire group. I could most likely fix this for you my having you check a lot of stuff for me, but somewhere amongst the large group of listeners to -questions, there is most likely someone who has had the exact same problem, and can tell you exactly what you did wrong, and get you on the road again. Tell you what, to save you some time here, why don't you report this to questions, and I'll see it, but so will everyone else. As a first hint from me, why don't you do a 'which xinit', then do an ls -l on whatever file 'which' reports, and include both of those in your post? It'd be the first thing I'd ask you to do, so you won't lose any time that way. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 18 14:02:23 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id OAA02406 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 18 Sep 1995 14:02:23 -0700 Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [192.216.222.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id OAA02401 for ; Mon, 18 Sep 1995 14:02:20 -0700 Received: from chemserv.umd.edu (chemserv.umd.edu [129.2.64.40]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.11) with ESMTP id OAA09434 for ; Mon, 18 Sep 1995 14:01:59 -0700 Received: from cappuccino.eng.umd.edu (cappuccino.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.14]) by chemserv.umd.edu (8.7.Beta.14/8.7.Beta.14) with ESMTP id RAA09763; Mon, 18 Sep 1995 17:00:40 -0400 (EDT) Received: (chuckr@localhost) by cappuccino.eng.umd.edu (8.7/8.6.4) id RAA11927; Mon, 18 Sep 1995 17:00:39 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 18 Sep 1995 17:00:38 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey To: EDSACMS_at_EDINFOR__CPDN@calisto.edinfor.pt cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD with an Adaptec AHA 2940 PCI In-Reply-To: <9508188114.AA811454335@calisto.edinfor.pt> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 18 Sep 1995 EDSACMS_at_EDINFOR__CPDN@calisto.edinfor.pt wrote: > Dear Friends, > > I have recently purchased a PC equiped with an ADAPTEC AHA 2940 PCI > with a SCSI hard drive and CD-ROM. > I want to install de FreeBSD 2.0 released by Walnut Creek but this > version doesn't recognise the controller. > > How can I bypass this problem ?

The function call "shmget()", when called, produces Bad system call (core dumped) Does shared memory exist in FreeBSD 2.1? Here's the test program I used: #include #include #include #include #include main() { int shmflg = 0606 | IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL; int shmid = shmget(15, 200, shmflg); if (shmid == -1) { perror("shmget"); exit(1); } printf("shmid: %d\n", shmid); } I compiled it with g++ and no other flags. This works on all of my other machines. The function call "ftok()" is supposed to create a toke to use with the SysV IPC facilities like shared memory. I have tried a simple program that calls ftok: #include #include #include main() { key_t my_key; my_key = ftok("/etc/passwd", (char)15); printf("hello: %d\n", (int)my_key); } compiled with g++, gcc, and cc, and including the compatibility library libcompat.a. The error .o: Undefined symbol `_ftok' referenced from text segment always occurs. When I pull the "ftok.o" out of /usr/lib/libcompat.a and include that file on the compile line, the program compiles and runs just fine. Is there something else I need in order to get the program to compile with this library? I've used shared memory and ftok on many architectures, and I know that each one is somewhat different and requires something special to get it to compile and run. If you know of special things I have to do for FreeBSD, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks for your help, -Tim. -------------------------------------------------------------------- W.

There is a different data structure that keeps these statistics now. The only recent change was to eliminate the declaration of the data structure (none of the fields were updated in it anyway!). Xperfmon++ will need to be updated to use the proper data structures. If Xperfmon++ was useful to you before, one quick hack might be to just rip out any reference to 'total'.

You will either get the message "file name too long" if it's a non-terminal link that's the problem because you'll overflow the namei() buffer, or the message "too many levels of symbolic links" if you have a link loop. Probably you have a link loop. You get one of these when you do something like: ln -s /tmp/foo /tmp/fee ln -s /tmp/fee /tmp/foo cat /tmp/fee Probably you are either installing X itself incorrectly (ie: /usr/lib/X11 and /usr/bin/X11 point to the wrong things) or you are trying to play games to name your mouse device /dev/mouse instead of leaving it alone and putting the real device name in XF86Config (or something similar). > > I also wanted to know I could mount my floppy drives (1.2M and 1.44Mb) > > on the unix oprtsing system.

You are right there are some changes necessary we are working on! But it's not so easy to make the sources compile right with all the 2.X releases cause in 2.1 nfs has changed! An other suggestion is to change the 'free mem' field in 'free swap' cause the FreeBSD memory system tries to keep the free mem as small as possible (around 1Meg in my case, so this field leads to no sigificant information about the system status. An other problem is the '-geometry' bug which is not satisfied solved. It would be niche if someone can look in the sources, fix this, and send me the patches!

Well, as root you can specify any shell you like, no matter if it's in the /etc/shells file or not. When the user logs on, he or she will just get the shell you specified, not access denied on grounds of a false shell. It's indeed better to set the shell at something that *does* exist, e.g. point it at /bin/sync or a home made shell which states "access denied on these grounds: blah" Don't ever put the shell you give them in /etc/shells, because then they will have ftp access to your system. ftpd checks /etc/shells for valid shells. :-) My /usr/local/bin/xsh is as follows: /* * stupid shell for users whom are kicked of the system. * 940724 - Rob. */ # include int main(void) { printf("\n\n\tYou are denied access to this system, please contact\n"); printf("\tyour local system administrator for details.\n\n"); /* In your case I might add: */ printf("\tYou can only use the pop (email) sever on this machine.\n"); /* end addition */ exit(0); /* obviously we won't get this far. */ return; } compile it with 'cc -o xsh xsh.c' and move or copy it to /usr/local/bin, point the users shell to it, and make sure it's excecutable! 'chmod 111 /usr/local/bin/xsh'. Or any other combination of access and rights you prefer. - Rob. /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 19 06:39:00 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id GAA02504 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 19 Sep 1995 06:39:00 -0700 Received: from txcc.net ([205.218.183.157]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id GAA02493 for ; Tue, 19 Sep 1995 06:38:57 -0700 Received: (from litteken@localhost) by txcc.net (8.6.11/8.6.9) id IAA00624; Tue, 19 Sep 1995 08:38:55 -0500 Date: Tue, 19 Sep 1995 08:38:54 -0500 (CDT) From: Todd Litteken To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Question about ifconfig alias Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to alias IP addresses to the same host.. i will include the lines i am using but i have problems that when it is active the host locks up.. better disc would be if i telnet from the host to the router the router gives a HOST DOWN.. even though it is up. and if i go from the router to the host i get a time out..

I had a system with two IDE HD's on the primary controller and an ATAPI CD-ROM on the secondary. This worked fine, except that wdc1 was not being found at probe-time so the ATAPI patches to 2.0.5 weren't doing me any good. To make a long story short, I decided the easiest way to get my CD-ROM going was to add a cheap HD to the 2nd controller. Here's the creepy part: BootEasy now did not print the line indicating that F5 selects the 2nd disk for booting. But it did. That's the good news. The bad news is that when FreeBSD tries to load, the machine locks up after the bar turns a few times. I'd be interested to hear if it does the same for you, Thayer. Sorry, no solutions. Just more questions.

I'd be >interested to hear if it does the same for you, Thayer. Well now, that was fun. Did a reboot and when the BootEasy menu came up I chose F5 (which was not on the list, as you said). I then heard rather unpleasant clicking sounds come from what I assume was the second hard disk. Then I got a message saying there was an error with the operating system and the system froze. Only option then was to reboot and choose F1. Let me point out (which wasn't really clear before) that the root FBSD partition is located on the second hard disk while the main /usr partition in located on the third one (that resides on the secondary IDE controller - integrated into the motherboard on my system). > Sorry, no solutions. Just more questions. Since I'm new to FreeBSD and the distribution I got was relatively free of such hinderances as documentation (I got it on a CD put together at the CS dept. at my school, Virginia Tech) let me ask a pretty basic question. If I can't get BootEasy to work, is it possible to set up the system to boot from a floppy and then somehow switch to using the the installation of FBSD that resides on the hard drive (so I don't have to keep that floppy in the entire time I'm using the system)? -> Thayer From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 19 13:10:02 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id NAA27492 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 19 Sep 1995 13:10:02 -0700 Received: from clem.systemsix.com (clem.systemsix.com [198.99.86.131]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA27480 for ; Tue, 19 Sep 1995 13:09:53 -0700 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by clem.systemsix.com (8.6.8/8.6.6) with SMTP id OAA03827; Tue, 19 Sep 1995 14:08:32 -0600 Message-Id: <199509192008.OAA03827@clem.systemsix.com> X-Authentication-Warning: clem.systemsix.com: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol From: Steve Passe To: questions@freebsd.org Cc: marino.ladavac@aut.alcatel.at, mcw@hpato.aus.hp.com, luigi@iet.unipi.it, faulkner@mpd.tandem.com Subject: Re: LyriX 1.05 for FreeBSD statically linked ?

Also, I need to give users accounts to use e-mail, but I don't want them to be able to telnet out or ftp out. I was told by someone to give the users a fake or non-existent shell. This would stop people from being able to telnet in, but allow them to use a POP server to check there mail. Is there a way to allow users to login and use PINE, for example, and not allow them to telnet out, ftp out, or any other commands besides those associated with sending and receiving mail? Is there any way of making the only directory a user can see is his or her home directory? Can I put a size limit on the amount bytes a user can store on our system?

Let me know if I am completely off base here. I run ppp -auto in rc.local and then also try to get inbound connections to work. Everything outbound works no problem. I realized that since I had the ppp -auto process sitting there waiting that I would need a second tunnel device for the inbound connections. So I now have a kernel with two tunnel devices and I have both devices created. I had the following problems however: Problem: On inbound connections, everything would go OK until ppp started. It would try to open cuaa2 and fail. Solution: I set the device for incoming in my ppp.conf to ttyd2 and that problem went away. Problem: PPP starts up no problem, BUT if I do a "route get myrouter", it has tun0 listed as the tunnel device to use but iijppp is using tun1 (as stated in the ppp.log). In both cases, if I reset the modem, the ppp -auto process will dial back to the router and establish the connection, but this is an ugly way to do things. Please correct me if I am wrong on the following assumptions: 1-I need two tunnel devices to do this 2-I use cuaa2 for outbound and ttyd2 for inbound connections Does anyone have any advice on how to finally get this working properly? I can make my ppp.conf and ppp.linkup as well as some ppp.log files available if necessary.

The system is running the 950726 2.1 snapshot. It is a Gateway 2000 P5-60 running AMI 1.00.10AF2T bios. Both DOS/Windows and OS/2 recognize and operate the Zoltrix 14.4 internal modem just fine. It is jumpered for COM1, but we have tried it on COM2 also. The on-board COM1 has been disabled. When FreeBSD boots, we get sio0 not found at 0x3f8 sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A The address of the card is right, according to DOS. I have included the kernel config file below. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. It works under OS/2, Windows, and he's booted Linux far enough to see that it recognizes the port, though was having trouble with Linux's installation and hasn't gotten a comm program up yet. Everytime I talk with him he starts talking about how FreeBSD is missing the point as far as alternate-to-windows operating systems go because of the installation difficulty and most-essential hardware (the reason he liked FreeBSD, when I lent him my modem for two weeks, he said, was the network access it gave him.) He can't use FreeBSD with his modem, and I said it should be fixable. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I might proceed in helping him fix this? I'm tired of having to explain how cool FreeBSD is while he says "But it doesn't support my modem, but it doesn't support my modem... and it was really hard to install." He has since deleted the FreeBSD partition and has either Linux or something on it now, so if anyone can suggest a probable solution, we'll try reinstalling. I have attached the kernel config. -josh # # GENERIC -- Generic machine with WD/AHx/NCR/BTx family disks # # $Id: GENERIC,v 1.46 1995/06/11 19:31:11 rgrimes Exp $ # machine "i386" cpu "I386_CPU" cpu "I486_CPU" cpu "I586_CPU" ident BELOVED maxusers 10 options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem #options NFS #Network Filesystem options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem #options "CD9660" #ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS #Process filesystem options "COMPAT_43" #Compatible with BSD 4.3 #options "SCSI_DELAY=15" #Be pessimistic about Joe SCSI device options BOUNCE_BUFFERS #include support for DMA bounce buffers options UCONSOLE #Allow users to grab the console options COMPAT_LINUX options SYSVSHM options SYSVSEM options SYSVMSG config kernel root on wd0 controller isa0 controller pci0 controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 #disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 #tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 2 controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 #disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 #controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr #disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 #disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 #controller ncr0 #controller ahc0 #controller bt0 at isa? port "IO_BT0" bio irq ? vector btintr #controller uha0 at isa? port "IO_UHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector uhaintr #controller ahc1 at isa? bio irq ? vector ahcintr #controller ahb0 at isa? bio irq ? vector ahbintr #controller aha0 at isa? port "IO_AHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector ahaintr #controller aic0 at isa? port 0x340 bio irq 11 vector aicintr #controller nca0 at isa? port 0x1f88 bio irq 10 vector ncaintr #controller nca1 at isa? port 0x350 bio irq 5 vector ncaintr #controller sea0 at isa? bio irq 5 iomem 0xc8000 iosiz 0x2000 vector seaintr device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr #controller scbus0 #device sd0 #device st0 #device cd0 #Only need one of these, the code dynamically grows #device wt0 at isa? port 0x300 bio irq 5 drq 1 vector wtintr #device mcd0 at isa? port 0x300 bio irq 10 vector mcdintr #device mcd1 at isa? port 0x340 bio irq 11 vector mcdintr #controller matcd0 at isa? port ? bio #device scd0 at isa? port 0x230 bio # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr # Enable this and PCVT_FREEBSD for pcvt vt220 compatible console driver #device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint #options "PCVT_FREEBSD=210" # pcvt running on FreeBSD 2.1 #options XSERVER # include code for XFree86 device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr #device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr #device sio3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 vector siointr device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr #device lpt1 at isa? port? tty #device lpt2 at isa? port? tty # Order is important here due to intrusive probes, do *not* alphabetize # this list of network interfaces until the probes have been fixed. # Right now it appears that the ie0 must be probed before ep0.

Quoting from Blair Schmittel (Wed Sep 20 00:38:35 1995): > I have two servers running DNS, one is the primary (A) for a domain, the > other (B) does nothing. I am wondering if there is a way that BIND can > forward all incoming queries from server A to server B. Use the 'forwarders' line. From "man named": The ``forwarders'' line specifies the addresses of sitewide servers that will accept recursive queries from other servers. If the boot file spec- ifies one or more forwarders, then the server will send all queries for data not in the cache to the forwarders first. Each forwarder will be asked in turn until an answer is returned or the list is exhausted. If no answer is forthcoming from a forwarder, the server will continue as it would have without the forwarders line unless it is in ``slave'' mode. The forwarding facility is useful to cause a large sitewide cache to be generated on a master, and to reduce traffic over links to outside servers. It can also be used to allow servers to run that do not have access directly to the Internet, but wish to act as though they do. The format is: forwarders [ [...] ] and it must be inserted in /etc/named.boot (or wahtever file you use to configure your named).

Only option then was to reboot and choose F1. I'm afraid we may be earning the wages of sin for having bought IDE-based systems. There is something bogus about the way ATAPI CDROM's work (at least mine). When I disconnect the CDROM from the IDE cable, my system boots like a dream...even sees my 2nd IDE controller. So. We've narrowed the problem down to 1) Booteasy not correctly loading the 2ndary (?) boot code, or 2) the secondary boot code not working properly, in the presence of HD+CDROM on 2nd IDE controller. Any boot gurus out there that can help us? >Let me >point out (which wasn't really clear before) that the root FBSD partition is >located on the second hard disk while the main /usr partition in located on >the third one (that resides on the secondary IDE controller - integrated >into the motherboard on my system). Yeah, I don't think it's relevant _where_ /usr is...the kernel isn't even getting loaded. It's the mere fact of having a disk and a CDROM on that controller. I think. Try booting without the CDROM plugged in and let me know if it works. > >> Sorry, no solutions.

Yes. If you stick the install boot floppy in and boot your machine, it will come up with a "Boot:" prompt. You could type 'wd(1,a)' (no quotes) to that prompt and it'll _try_ to boot the kernel on your hard disk. Or maybe that's not what you wanted to do. Were you hoping to boot a kernel off the floppy and then switch root to wd1? I'm not sure...experts?

I have not done this yet, but it is on my list of stuff to do. I am planning on either grabbing one of the menuing (ftp:ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming) or writing something in perl to do that. I know that really isn't a great answer, but maybe it will give you something to look into. > Is there any way of making the only directory a user can see is his or > her home directory? You can play with the permissions but getting too crazy could be a little dangerous. If you stick with the default usage of adduser by using different groups for each user you would have more control over that, if you are worried about someone else looking into another users home directory. Someone else will probably have better information for you. --- Duane ____________________________________________________________________________ Duane Ellison duane@gargamel.ptw.com Edwards, California http://gargamel.ptw.com/~duane From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 20 07:21:35 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id HAA03819 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 07:21:35 -0700 Received: from netrail.net (nathan@netrail.net [204.117.64.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id HAA03813 ; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 07:21:29 -0700 Received: (from nathan@localhost) by netrail.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) id KAA15348; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 10:26:53 -0400 Date: Wed, 20 Sep 1995 10:26:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Nathan Stratton To: current@freebsd.org cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: secondary ip address on interfaces In-Reply-To: <199509201209.WAA25816@godzilla.zeta.org.au> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I am using a cisco 4000 as a router and I want to move to a FreeBSD box.

This use to work in earlier release; I think I recall it working in 2.0.5 and previous. I just noticed it didn't work recently when I added a third hard disk. The booteasy menu on the first disk correctly lists my Linux and FreeBSD installations, but does not show F5 for switching to the second disk. Pressing F5 will take me to the second disk, though. On the second disk, I can only go back to the first disk; F5 does not get listed, nor does it take me to the third disk. If it helps, I used the 2.0.5-950622-SNAP boot floppy and installation files when I installed FreBSD on my third disk.

Booteasy should have no problems with three bootable partitions. I would install Win95, then Linux, and FreeBSD last if you want to use Booteasy.

It appears as though you can only use the asm directive (inb is actually define of __asm ("inb %1,%0...)) if you specify a constant address...Rather annoying. Further more even if you do specify a constant address, I keep getting Bus Error, Core dumped from my program (running as root) whenever the i/o instruction is executed. Something has changed. In the kernel source, there appears to be incomplete support for a /dev/io device which will allow you to read/write the io ports the same way you would access /dev/mem, except that it is not compiled in unless 'notyet' is defined. Any one on the "team" care to comment on how to write a program using in/out instructions (I started working on a TMC driver but ran into this problem). Or, does -current or -stable now incorporate a functional /dev/io?

I start up "ppp -auto" in my rc.local. This adds a default route through tun0 to my router. If I then try to connect inbound to the FreeBSD machine, "ppp -demand" is started no problem. It states in the ppp.log that it is using tun1 but it tries to use the route through tun0. ("route get myrouter" returns a route through tun0) Naturally any outbound packets vanish. I have experimented quite a bit with and discovered the following: If I start "ppp -auto" in rc.local but then do a "route flush" when I log in then everything works beautifully... almost. Obviously I can't dial out in this situation but if I connect inbound it works no problem. Once I drop this connection, I can now try to connect outbound again and it succeeds, changing the route from tun1 to tun0 in the process. If I drop the line, any subsequent connections in either direction work, switching the route appropriately. Why then will my initial inbound connection not properly switch the route from tun0 to tun1? I suppose I could make the ppplogin shell a setuid _program_ which first does the route flush and then execs ppp but that is pretty ugly. What is going on here? -Steve From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 20 11:34:49 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id LAA22795 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 11:34:49 -0700 Received: from labinfo.iet.unipi.it (labinfo.iet.unipi.it [131.114.9.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA22789 for ; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 11:34:43 -0700 Received: from localhost (luigi@localhost) by labinfo.iet.unipi.it (8.6.5/8.6.5) id UAA04849; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 20:38:16 +0200 From: Luigi Rizzo Message-Id: <199509201838.UAA04849@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> Subject: Re: * The security of DISKLESS? * To: kallio@jyu.fi (Seppo Kallio) Date: Wed, 20 Sep 1995 20:38:15 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: from "Seppo Kallio" at Sep 20, 95 04:54:23 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1210 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk > What kind of security holes does DISKLESS include? > > Some thoughts: > > 1.

Other holes? If you are referring to the answer I gave about how to setup a diskless system, the security hole is given by the need to export the root filesystem with root read permission. This means that you can see the encrypted passwords (master.passwd) and possibly start a brute-force attack to your system looking for passwords.

You shouldn't be able to get to the third disk with Booteasy, since (AFAIK) it's impossible to boot off the third disk.

Create a script named /etc/netstart.{interface_name} - I'd guess that you'd use /etc/netstart.hdlc?. You might have to hardcode it into netstart since you don't appear to be using ifconfig on hdlc?.

If I'm not mistaken, the kernel doesn't actually function test the interrupt. In other words, you could have non-functional or misconfigured irq hardware, and the kernel wouldn't know. You might try using the polling driver and see how that works. If you're using the GENERIC kernel, disable the lpt0 driver and use lpt1 instead - just to test. If you're NOT using the GENERIC kernel, try the following in your kernel config - device lpt0 at isa? port? tty From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 20 17:07:06 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id RAA17375 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 17:07:06 -0700 Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id RAA17361 for ; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 17:07:03 -0700 Received: from corbin.Root.COM (corbin [198.145.90.34]) by Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with ESMTP id RAA04053; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 17:05:42 -0700 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by corbin.Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id RAA04855; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 17:08:03 -0700 Message-Id: <199509210008.RAA04855@corbin.Root.COM> To: Brian Litzinger cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: COMCONSOLE no login In-reply-to: Your message of "Wed, 20 Sep 95 16:50:29 PDT." <199509202350.QAA18915@MediaCity.com> From: David Greenman Reply-To: davidg@Root.COM Date: Wed, 20 Sep 1995 17:08:02 -0700 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk >I compiled a kernel with COMCONSOLE, set a modem into BLIND ANSWER mode, >and rebooted the system.

OK. I cd /sys/i386/boot/biosboot vi Makefile # uncommented CFLAGS+= -DFORCE_COMCONSOLE make clean make make install cd /usr/mdec disklabel -B -b boot1 -s boot2 sd0 fastboot Still comes out on the VGA display. I also compiled a kernel with COMCONSOLE and much of the console data comes out on the serial port, however, the boot: still only shows up on the VGA. Any ideas? I'm running with the FreeBSD Boot Manager. Does that make any difference?

Ultimately, any automated tool is going to edit the password file to delete the user. In the absence of an automated tool, you edit the password file manually using the vipw program. After that, you can (manually) remove their home directory if you wish. > Also, I need to give users accounts to use e-mail, but I don't want them > to be able to telnet out or ftp out. I was told by someone to give the > users a fake or non-existent shell. This would stop people from being One way to do it is 1. Make a group in /etc/group for "priveleged" users allowed to use telnet and ftp. Add their usernames to that group. 2. Use chgrp to change the group ownership of telnet and ftp. 3. Use chmod to remove read and execute priveleges on telenet and ftp. "Ordinary" users not in your priveleged group will not be able to use telnet and ftp. Of couse, this does not stop anyone from mailing themself a uuencoded binary of telnet, unpacking it in their own home directory and using it that way. > Can I put a size limit on the amount bytes a user can store on our system?

Right - this was a "known" problem awhile back. Basically, you'll need to use the '-e' switch and then edit this to correct the 'rpm' and 'interleave'. After this has been done and the label updated, you should be able to write out the new bootblocks as you tried to do above. This was fixed a few months ago. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 20 22:00:24 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id WAA22842 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 22:00:24 -0700 Received: from GndRsh.aac.dev.com (GndRsh.aac.dev.com [198.145.92.241]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id VAA22657 ; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 21:58:58 -0700 Received: (from rgrimes@localhost) by GndRsh.aac.dev.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id VAA01036; Wed, 20 Sep 1995 21:19:07 -0700 From: "Rodney W.

Can't find it in the archives either, so it *could* be that I *wasn't* just ignored after all. :-] I want to use the "green" screen saver on my Viewsonic 21PS. Sysconfig has this: # Set blank time (in seconds) or "off" to turn it off (or NO for default) blanktime=600 # Set to screen saver desired: blank, green, snake, star (or NO for none) saver="green" This causes rc.i386 to: vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv0 -t 600 If I just use the ttyv0 console, this works great. My screen shuts down after 10 minutes of just staring at it. However I use X! So, I think we switch over to ttyv3. What's the correct way to get it to now shut down? I can't seem to do the "obvious" extension as root: vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv3 -t 600 This doesn't work or I can't make it work. What's the "normal" way to do this? I appear to only be able to get X's screen saver to kick in (ie, just screen blanking). I really want it to go green and shut down eventually too.

In the cource of my studying, I installed FreeBSD at 386PC, and its performance was very successful. But to my surprise, there are much difference in the codes of FreeBSD and those of bsd-sources, and thich makes me confused. In the course of studying, I noticed that the bread() function and etc.(mainly those in sys/kern/vfs_bio.c) were deleted. But In the codes of FreeBSD, there exited the bread() function and the other functions(which were not existed in bsd-sources).. (Maybe, I think, the nonexistance was due to the machine dependency of bread()) What I really want to know is that; is there any reason why the bsd-sources source code could not contain the bread() function and etc; and if there is no serious problem, is it possible for me get the full codes of bread() and etc functions, which are deleted with the message /* Body deleted */ in bsd-sources.

We were using NIS for some things, then stopped connecting to the NIS server for various reasons (our choosing) and ls -l would hang (I suspect when getting group information it was trying to query the NIS server).

Perhaps this is a question for the ports list, even though it is a port in the reverse direction.

Tar begins making the archive but does not prompt me to insert the next disk. When I untar the one disk I can restore all the data on the disk but of course that is all. I really hope that someone can help.

I got a book on Unix and administration and set for on my task of setting up a system. Well now it is a couple of months later and I am back at school and a little more confused (re: freebsd). What must I do to set up the system. I primarily want to connect to my school (which services a PPP conn.) and run clients ftp,telnet, web browsers etc through that connection. I need to know how to do this stuff. I can figure out for the most part how to do the little things but I don't know from which direction to start. Nameservers, fstab, etc.! If any of you would like to help me in this endeavor it will be greatly appreciated.

You are killing any process with the string "xdm" in the arg list. This includes the grep process, but it's irrelevant. First of all, Anyway there's no need to grep for the pid. Under R5 the pid is stored in: /usr/X386/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-pid, I don't know the location under R6 but I suppose it's in: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-pid.

Is this a Linux system using DES encryption? If so, install the DES package on the BSD box, and use sed to reformat the Linux password file into BSD shadow password file format. Then eliminate all but the users you want to add to the BSD system from the sed output file. Then vipw the BSD password file and read in the sed output file at the end. Then save and exit.

Okay, perhaps I mis-stated the question. Yes, I know that load averages are the average number of uncompleted jobs at any time [1, 5, 15 minutes if I remember correctly]. My question is why when a system is idle 95% of any second is it having any load average whatsoever? As always, thanks for your time and insightful answers. -Jerry.

I'm very happy with mine. Lack of shared memory for one. I believe that they don't perform as well as the SMC/WD cards. I have one in a machine at home - and find it adequate.

(or at least seen this before? the large chips on the MB are: S82378IB S82433LX ( times 2) S82434LX AMIBIOS version 1.00.03.AF2 I've tried the machine with the cache off and in NON_TURBO mode.. that seems to be all there is to adjust on this thing.. no bus speed or anything.. julian From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 22 01:06:08 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id BAA19536 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 22 Sep 1995 01:06:08 -0700 Received: from labinfo.iet.unipi.it (labinfo.iet.unipi.it [131.114.9.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id BAA19497 ; Fri, 22 Sep 1995 01:05:02 -0700 Received: from localhost (luigi@localhost) by labinfo.iet.unipi.it (8.6.5/8.6.5) id KAA08220; Fri, 22 Sep 1995 10:08:37 +0200 From: Luigi Rizzo Message-Id: <199509220808.KAA08220@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> Subject: A crypt problem To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 22 Sep 1995 10:08:36 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: ports@freebsd.org X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1805 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk [this has been crossposted to ports, because it is of some relevance there] I have a question on the use of MD5 crypt routines in cern_httpd. I suspect the problem also arises with other software packages which use crypt(). The cern package assumes the presence of DES crypt, and uses multiple invocation of the crypt routine to encode the password and then compare it with the correct one. The code is the following (in /usr/ports/net/cern_httpd/work/WWW/Daemon/Implementation/HTPasswd.c): while (len > 0) { char *tmp, salt[3], chunk[9]; CONST char *cur1 = password, *cur2 = encrypted; salt[0] = *cur2; salt[1] = *(cur2+1); salt[2] = (char)0; strncpy(chunk, cur1, 8); chunk[8] = (char)0; tmp = crypt((char*)password, salt); strcat(result, tmp); cur1 += 8; cur2 += 13; len -= 13; } /* while */ status = strncmp(result, encrypted, strlen(encrypted)); This does not work with MD5, so I had to replace it with the following simple sequence (MD5 can deal with strings longer than 8 chars): result=crypt(password, encrypted); status = strcmp(result, encrypted); My question is: would the above work with DES crypt ? I don't have DES installed, so I cannot try it. If the code works, then this is something that should be fixed on cern_httpd and possibly other ports which use crypt.

If we ditch ipfw (and I tend to be in favour) then I really hope we can retain accurate ip traffic accounting because that's essential to the way we use it on our boxes. Netstat simply doesn't do the job since it measures traffic per interface and I have a number of virtual hosts and need traffic per ip address. -- Paul Richards, Netcraft Ltd.

This problem occures three or four times a day. After a failure I notice the following.

In /etc/inetd.conf I have the following line to startup bootps when it recieves a request: bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd -t1 Is this correct? Is their a known problem with the 2.0R version of bootps?

The Linux ethernet.howto was a big help to me when I was looking for my NIC for FreeBSD. Based on that and other reading, a Lance chip-based card appeared to be the best choice (bus-mastered DMA, low overhead, great throughput, good driver support for many platforms). Looking for an ISA card, I purchased a Allied Telesyn AT1500BT. Works well with the 2.0.5 Lance driver. There are probably brand-X 2100 cards around, but I didn't get a line on them.

You won't be able to get it to boot from a secondary controller - the initial boot process uses BIOS services, and the BIOS has no clue that your 2nd controller is there. This is the case regardless of what type of controller you have. > That's exactly what I want to do - start from a floppy but boot the kernel > from the hard disk.

If you've got a second, I'm having some problems installing the ip_filtering software under FreeBSD-2.1.0 Bascically, I've followed the instructions in INSTALL.FreeBSD (build the package, patched kernel files, rebuilt, installed the software, rebooted) with fresh kernel sources each time. When i attempt to run the software compiled into the kernel, i get errors such as: mnemonic# ipmon /dev/ipl: open: Device not configured If I attempt to configure the software as a loadable kernel module, when I modload it, all the functions come up as multiply defined. I've tried it with /dev/ipl as "mknod /dev/ipl c 20 0" and "mknod /dev/ipl c 59 0" (both are mentioned in the INSTALL files) with no success. Do I need to have "options IPFIREWALL" and/or any other options defined in the kernel config file? Is there something trivial that I'm not seeing? I've been hacking at this for the past 2 days to no avail.

Around about the end of October one of the planned themes is free Unices, with particular emphasis on Intel based platforms. Due to the fact that I know someone who knows someone, I've been asked if I'd like to act as a representative for FreeBSD. I don't mind in the slightest, but a) Is there anyone in the UK (South East or generally) who feels particularly qualified to talk about FreeBSD, and all it's good points to a crowd of Unix heads. Drinks probably included. b) Assuming that I wind up doing this, it strikes me as a good opportunity to help lay to rest some myths about freebie Unices, and FreeBSD in general (particularly, I suspect, with regard to the FreeBSD vs Linux debate) and also to expand upon where the OS is going, it's history and so on. So, has anyone got any particular annoying myths and 'reported-as-fact' stories that they'd like to have debunked during this session? Or information in general that you think might go down well with this audience?

I have looked at pfdisk and that gives me totally different geometries like: LXT-535S 510/64/32 MXT-1240S 150/255/63 LXT-213S 202/64/32 However, using the geometries from pfdisk and using the geometries from Maxtor, doesn't matter. I still get the errors. When I attempt to delete the partitions and start over, it has even different geometries that it's using like: LXT-535S 510/64/32 now has 2021/11/47 MXT-1240S 150/255/63 now has 3671/15/44 LXT-213S 202/64/32 now has 1703/4/61 All this is driving me nuts. I also can't mount the root partition, so I know something is wrong. If anyone has a solution, I"d really like to hear it.

I created a DOS partition on all drives, then in sysinstall deleted the DOS partition and created the FreeBSD partitions. I'm getting the same warning messages with slightly different numbers on the calculated sectors per cylinders and the unallocated being on the Conner, Maxtor 535 and Maxtor 1.2. My problem is after I go through the install (bin/manpages), I reboot the system and can't mount the root filesystem, so the system goes into panic mode. I also get the prompt: F1..... BSD F?
