On top I'm running XFree86 (3.1.1u? whatever is in the std. release load for FreeBSD) on an et3000 server (SVGA). I'm losing memory fast ;). I leave xdm running, and any time it's up more than a few hours, I lose 10% to 50% of my swap space/ram (making an ls require a swap, which is rediculous on that system.) I'm assuming it's the X server, as a ps-aux picks it all up. Killing the X Server fixes all, but I'd rather be able to leave myself logged into X the entire time than log in and out all the time to reset the X server. Is there a bug release -- we've used the SVGA server on other video cards without this problem; is this et3k specifc? Thanks..

Let me tell you about the circumstances surrounding the error - The error occured while elm was either trying to read the mail spool or write a temporary mailbox in /tmp. At first I thought it might be a bad disk. I fsck'ed the /tmp and /var filesystems from single user and the problem went away. It found a problem with /var/mail/bmk - but I don't recall what it was. The file was unlinked and all seems to be well now. Unfortunately, I lost a couple of messages I was saving. That's my fault for leaving them in my mailbox. :) This is the first time I've lost any data - from a (probable) non-hardware cause at lease. I'd have to say that's a pretty good record since I've been running FreeBSD since 1.1 on several machines. To be fair, it's entirely possible that this is hardware related, since I had a few panics/reboots due to bad L2 cache. ...Just another testimonial as to the reliability of FreeBSD... > > > > Can anyone explain the meaning of the following SCSI errors? > > > > Sep 22 06:47:50 everest /kernel: bt0: bt_scsi_cmd, more than 33 DMA segs > > Sep 22 06:47:50 everest /kernel: sd0: oops not queued > Something has asked for a transfer that is too big.. > I wonder if the clustering code can cluster up a read/write that is too > big for the device? > > Sep 22 06:47:50 everest /kernel: biodone: buffer already done > > Sep 22 06:47:50 everest /kernel: sd0(bt0:0:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:21,0 > > Logical block address out of range field replaceable > > unit: 3 sks:cf,2 > I think this is a bad interpretation of the error above it.. > its a byproduct.. ignore it > > From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 24 12:02:56 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id MAA09801 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 24 Sep 1995 12:02:56 -0700 Received: from hypernet.hyper.gr (hypernet.hyper.gr [193.218.4.62]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id MAA09689 for ; Sun, 24 Sep 1995 12:00:36 -0700 Received: (from pavlidis@localhost) by hypernet.hyper.gr (8.6.12/8.6.12) id WAA03073; Sun, 24 Sep 1995 22:00:19 +0300 Date: Sun, 24 Sep 1995 22:00:19 +0300 Message-Id: <199509241900.WAA03073@hypernet.hyper.gr> X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 2.0.3 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@freebsd.org From: pavlidis@hyper.gr (Savas Pavlidis) Subject: Unknown SCSI bus phase Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have a 486dx/80Mhz computer running FreeBSD with the AHA-2842 VESA bus SCSI controller.

For some reason it is using sl0 (i have no idea why) and I would input the numbers manually but unfortunately, I cannot do that as I am using the boot disk and am trying to install the latest release via FTP. Is there a way I can go into the boot disk and make modifications (as I dont have any other unix machines nearby) and the boot disk doesnt have utilities such as ls, cat, etc... Ifconfig should be setup as "ed0" i believe, but is there any way that this can be changed or fixed?

The NFS locking protocol is insufficiently documented, even in the very expensive ISO standards document for NFS, to allow someone to do a working implementation. People are working on it. I believe that BSDI and Linux also lack this feature, as do some commercial UNIX clones.

As I said earlier, it works fine with the 950726 version of the 2.1.0 SNAP copy, but not the 950922 copy. During the bootup I get the following message... ed1: at 0x300-0x31f irq5 on isa ed1: address 00:00:e8:c8:f9:ef, type ne2000 (16 bit) and when the setup screen comes in, and I do a custom installation -- the f2 (debug screen) shows: DEBUG: found a device of tpe network named ed1 DEBUG: found a device of type network named lp0 and when setting up everything (partitioning, etc) and choosing the ftp site, and doing "commit", i get the following in screen f2 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required DEBUG: Command 'ifconfig sl0 inet 134.231.56.107 netmask 255.255.0.0' returns status of 1 The thing is I'm not even using sl0 (slip), but rather, an ethernet connection. I see the network has already been detected (ed1) but apparently something gets switched in the setup process... Thanks!

It was a little slow [2-3 hours] coming off of ftp.freebsd.org, but other than that it worked great. It was configured for ed1. The emergency holographic shell was AMAZING. It was great to actually be using the machine to telnet out and such WHILE it was installing. [Start other FTPs, etc]. While X was installing I had about 12 open sessions to different FTP sites [wuarchive, others] downloading ports and such and compiling them. I had a great deal of overall bandwidth but very little to any one site. I had 4 hard drive lights on CONTINUOUSLY. Nothing blinked. Something that might be nice for future installation programs [though the new one has made worlds of improvement] is graceful handling of a too-little disk space situation. I tried installing on a 200MB paritition and all hell broke lose. One other thing that seemed broken [I could be wrong] when setting up the disk labels, I tried hitting the "W" command, said, "install boot manager" and the system died. I could flip through consoles, but nothing happened. I had to quit and then "commit" to proceed. [Maybe that is by design, but then the "W" prompt should be removed].

I had some problems with the FreeBSD boot selector and Windows 95, so I started investigating other ways to boot. (Has anyone else had problems with Windows 95 and booteasy, by the way?) I discovered that the Windows NT loader can be configured to run other boot sectors from files in the DOS partition. The boot loader's INI file (usually C:\BOOT.INI) just needs to be edited to point at the file containing the sector. DON'T ATTEMPT THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I think you must be ready to edit partition tables by hand using a sector editor before you start mucking about with them, in general. I've had to do this on several occasions to avoid trashing Windows NT, which is a bit sensitive about them. Make backup copies on floppy disks and make sure you have the utilities to put them back if things should go wrong. To boot FreeBSD from the NT loader, copy your existing boot sector for the FreeBSD partition to a file on the DOS C: drive. Something like this will do the trick: dd if=/dev/wd0c of=/freebsd.sec bs=512 count=1 (Change wd0c to sd0c if you boot from a SCSI disk. You could copy the appropriate file from /usr/mdec instead, but I'm typing this from memory on my Mac and couldn't tell you which ones offhand. Read the manual.) Then alter the BOOT.INI file on C: so it contains a line like this under the "[operating systems]" heading: c:\freebsd.sec="FreeBSD" The NT boot loader will then give you FreeBSD as an option. You can make it the default by editing the "DEFAULT=" line in BOOT.INI in the obvious manner. You can also add other boot sectors for other systems, although I haven't tried it with the Linux LILO boot loader. Once you have this working, you can restore the original master boot record for DOS or Windows 95 use by running "FDISK /MBR" from DOS. You are less likely to have trouble with Windows 95, Windows NT, or OS/2 booting and partitioning if you keep the default MBR. I would be interested to hear from anyone else who uses this trick. Please send me some mail if you try it, successfully or not.

FreeBSD has a reasonable installation procedure, and the documentation talks a lot about "intalling" FreeBSD. What about upgrading? I have FreeBSD 2.0 installed, and am interested in updating to 2.1 when it is stable and comes out on CD-ROM. Can I use the same convenient installation procedure to _upgrade_? Will the install 2.1 procedure overwrite all my careful configuration in /etc or will it Do The Right Thing? If the install procedure _does_ upgrade correctly, then I suggest the procedure is documented, along with any pitfalls. If the install procedure can't upgrade, I suggest that it be changed to do so, or some documentation is provided on how to do this. I'm pretty sure you have thought of this already -- there must be a lot of people with 2.0 who want to upgrade. I'm impressed by the thoughtfulness and stability of FreeBSD, which is why I use it.

I have generated a FreeBSD 2.0.5 system on A from a Walnut Creek CDROM. Machine B is an 8 MB machine with 124 MB IDE disk. 10 MB of this disk is a primary DOS partition, the remainder of the disk is devoted to FreeBSD. Machine B has an Intel ethernet card which has been automatically configured by SOFTSET.EXE with an I/O address of 300-30F (Hex), IRQ 3 and boot ROM address of D000 - D1FF. Machine B had no CDROM drive. On machine A I used vipw to add the line: ftp:*:99:99::0:0:FTP:/cdrom:/nonexistent I used Windows95 on Machine A to format a 1.44 MB diskette, I then used rawrite.exe to make a boot floppy for machine B. The intention is to boot machine B from the floppy, create a FreeBSD partition, create the slices (30 MB for /, 20 MB for swap and the remainder for /usr), and load the system using FTP Other //ip address of Machine A/cdrom. Two problems: 1. Sometimes the only devices shown are the serial device and lp0. Device ix0 is not available for selection. 2. When device ix0 is shown available for selection then during the commit phase the system gets as far as mounting the swap device and copies the boot information and prints "Panic: page fault syncing disks 22 22 20 19 7 done Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort" I get similar results when trying to load from the promiary FreeBSD site or the local mirror site. Can you see what I might be doing wrong?

I would like to get it so only the LINK i'm on is HIGHLIGHTED (ie REVERSE VIDEO), the other links should be in BOLD and (the reverse video should "follow" the cursor). 2) I had some problems earlier last week, getting lynx to run at all. the System administrator said he thought a library routine was missing. I was told by Craig Lavender at Ukansas to change the Makefile. To eliminate this error He Suggested: In the Makefile, find this line: SITE_LYDEFS = # -DDIRED_SUPPORT and replace it with SITE_LYDEFS = -D__NetBSD__ # -DDIRED_SUPPORT which I followed and it worked, Lynx compiled (freebsd option only, no ncurses) 3) Today, I managed to locate and download the newest ncurses package version 1.9.4. I would like to install the ncurses and then try again to Make Lynx (With ncurses). and im hoping that will clear up the problem. **************************************************************************************** Q1. Does it sound like i need ncurses at all, or is it something else causing the Cursor/Highlight/Bold problem? Q2. Are you aware of any problems with FreeBSD2.0, the ncurses Package and Lynx 2.4.2? Q3. Any general advice on proceeding with ncurses (installation and re-make with lynx)? Q4. Im using Vt100 terminal emulation on a dialup account. and I do a stty term vt100 command at the beginning of each session. Am I missing something here? I read somewhere that Lynx was Brain Dead as far as terminal recognition? So it must be either ncurses or the system right.....? ****************************************************************************************** Thanks, Vincent Roberts From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 25 10:42:34 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id KAA17739 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 10:42:34 -0700 Received: from servicom.es (sparky.bcn.servicom.es [194.106.1.132]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id KAA17728 for ; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 10:42:20 -0700 Received: from none (ppp_4.val.servicom.es) by servicom.es (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA12127; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 18:40:09 GMT Message-Id: <9509251840.AA12127@servicom.es> Date: Mon, 25 Sep 95 18:42:29 0200 From: Antonio Navarro Organization: Beatriz Martínez, S.L.

The regular termcap is not the same as the VT100. You should either use the FreeBSD termcap entry for cons25 on your remote machine, or you should build your kernel to use pccons instead.

The filesystem changed right after the release of 2.0, so upgrading to anything more recent requires backup up your files, and doing a fresh reinstall. Believe me, there's no way around it. The new install will reinstall your filesystems, with a newer variety, based upon "slices". > --- > Richard Brooksby > Manager & Developer / Memory Management / Symbolic Processing / Harlequin > +44 1223 873881 (voice) +44 1223 872519 (fax) > > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 25 11:33:36 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id LAA18977 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 11:33:36 -0700 Received: from chemserv.umd.edu (chemserv.umd.edu [129.2.64.40]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA18961 for ; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 11:33:29 -0700 Received: from mocha.eng.umd.edu (mocha.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.16]) by chemserv.umd.edu (8.7.Beta.14/8.7.Beta.14) with ESMTP id OAA00437; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 14:33:17 -0400 (EDT) Received: (chuckr@localhost) by mocha.eng.umd.edu (8.7/8.6.4) id OAA12390; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 14:33:15 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 25 Sep 1995 14:33:14 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey To: Antonio Navarro cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Using color in C In-Reply-To: <9509251840.AA12127@servicom.es> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Mon, 25 Sep 1995, Antonio Navarro wrote: > Hello ! > > I am trying to use colors under C.

C, unlike Basic, has no direct support for color or screens. That is not to say that it can't be done, but it means that C relies on calls from the underlying operating system (which you have to make, in C) to get machine control things like that done. In this case, it means you'll have to use ioctl calls (see the ioctl man page) tp get what you want done, but here, you're in luck. Because FreeBSD includes source code, go look at the code in the vidcontrol utility itself (/usr/src/usr.sbin/vidcontrol) and see how someone else did it. > > Thanks in advance. > > Antonio Navarro > L'Eliana - Valencia (Spain) > > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 25 11:35:30 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id LAA19037 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 11:35:30 -0700 Received: from mail1.its.rpi.edu (root@mail1.its.rpi.edu [128.113.100.7]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA19031 for ; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 11:35:16 -0700 Received: from sage4d.its.rpi.edu (sage4d.its.rpi.edu [128.113.34.53]) by mail1.its.rpi.edu (8.6.9/8.6.4) with ESMTP id OAA03379 for ; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 14:34:59 -0400 Received: (marrm@localhost) by sage4d.its.rpi.edu (8.6.9/8.6.4) id OAA30967 for questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 14:34:48 -0400 From: "Mike Marr" Message-Id: <9509251434.ZM25841@sage4d.its.rpi.edu> Date: Mon, 25 Sep 1995 14:34:24 -0400 X-Mailer: Z-Mail (3.2.1 07feb95) To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: 2.0.5 Installation Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, This little installation is going as well as expected. First off I found that the SCSI card made by DTC isn't 1542 compatible. Upon boot up I see the following, but don't know what's happening: fdc0 0x3F0 - 0x3F7 irq 6 drq 2 on ISA fdc0: NEC 765 I do have a NEC SCSI CD-ROM and I believe that it is on irq 6, but why can't I access it? Second, i have given up accessing the CD-ROM and have started to copy necessary files to a DOS partition in a directory named freebsd. In this attempt I have been able to get a minimal system up and running(very minimal). I keep having installation problems saying it can't find "manpages/manpages.aa!" and can't find "dict/dict.aa!". What files do I have to copy over to rid myself of these errors? I also want to install x windows and emacs so I can get some work done. What files are necessary for this and does everything have to be in the freebsd directory? So far, I have assumed so.

What about upgrading? [ I'd appreciate constructive criticism on the following post so I can improve the procedure ] Rumor has it that 2.1 will have a true upgrade procedure built into the install. Jordan would be the person to comment on that. Even with previous versions, I've been able to upgrade successfully without a lot of hassle. Read on... With careful planning of your disk layout and some self-discipline when it comes to customizing your system, upgrading it fairly trivial. To use this procedure, a few restrictions should be observed: (1) /, /usr, and /usr/local should be separate filesystems. Don't install anything into / and /usr, except core FreeBSD stuff. I usually also have a separate filesystem for X11, or install it in /usr/local - mainly so it doesn't get whacked during a reinstall. I also create a separate filesystem for user files and source code. (2) Do all of your customization in either /etc or in the /usr/local filesystem - not in / or /usr. I usually make /usr read-only. (3) Back up all of your filesytems before proceeding. Starting with 2.0.5(?) it's possible for sysinstall to preserve (i.e. not run newfs) selected filesystems. When you assign mountpoints, toggle off newfs for everything but / and /usr. You've already backed up everything you want to save, right? :) Proceed with the installation as usual. Everything in your / and /usr filesystems will be overwritten - and the new version will be installed over the top of it. After the installation is complete, you can meld in your customizations from /etc. You did back it up, didn't you? :) It might help you to see how I've laid out the disks on one of my systems: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0a 24591 14663 7960 65% / /dev/sd0s1e 63535 51736 6716 89% /usr /dev/sd0s1f 13807 5315 7387 42% /var /dev/sd0s2e 302383 63154 215038 23% /home /dev/sd0s2f 127087 52361 64559 45% /usr/X11R6 /dev/sd0s2g 175279 125677 35579 78% /usr/local /dev/sd1s1e 391023 2467 357274 1% /home/www /dev/sd1s2e 510975 330569 139528 70% /home/ftp /dev/sd4s1e 628319 215811 362242 37% /usr/src /dev/cd0a 528386 528386 0 100% /cdrom /dev/sd0s3 205604 121452 84152 59% /dos procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc During a reinstall, only root, /usr, and /var get touched. After reinstalling, I usually restore /etc into a scratch directory and then diff everything to see what's changed in the new version. I then copy over my customizations. I also restore a lot of files in /var - like /var/mail, /var/spool/uucp, and selected stuff in /var/db. Usually doesn't take very long. How successful you will be depends a lot on how careful you are in planning your disk layout. If you dork it up really badly, you have your backups, right? One other thing that I do is maintain a duplicate root filesystem on the second disk. The only thing that's different is the location of root in /etc/fstab. That way, even if something catastrophic happens, I can always boot to single-user and fix whatever's broken.

Hi, I have the same problem here, using an older SNAP. I think the reason is a bug in NCSA telnet. The file 'bugs.txt', whitch is shipped with NCSA telnet, says that the linemode negotiation is buggy. But the behavior is not the same ervery time (using the same configuration). Sometimes it looks OK, sometimes it is exactly like you reported, most times it is like you reported but with an additional line feed on the display. I tried with an older version of NCSA telnet (2.3b1), and here i did not had _this_ problem, but it didn't run very nice either, because some screen functions are not supported in this old version. I don't have any ideas also. Are you sure that it runs well with Linux ?

Having used tcpdump to see what it going on, we see that the FreeBSD machine makes a DNS request and is returned the first interface address. The NFS lookup request is then sent to this address and the server replies. Unfortunately the server replies with the IP number of the nearest interface to the client, i.e. a different IP number. The FreeBSD machine then returns an ICMP port unreachable error and the mount request hangs. If we do a mount command, the mount will work if the IP address of the nearest interface is used. Has anyone got a sane fix for this problem?

If anyone else agrees, I'll stop saying this, but I think it's a real bad idea, for a whole range of reasons. Besides having to deal with a boatload of howls from folks who lost their files because they were told they could upgrade without the reinstall, how are you going to troubleshoot future reported problems if you aren't even sure of the underlying FS ?

I have repeated this many times. NCSA Telnet problem in Macintosh is the "Allow Line Mode" check box. Do not allow line mode. Symbtom is: when you leave emacs or vi with Control-z NCSA Telnet goes to line mode and stays there. In line mode you have to push return before characters are sent to host. I do not know if PC NCSA Telnet has same problem. I have seen same same symbtoms sometimes. I have heard on PC about this "local echo" also, but never seen it by myself. In PCTCP Software's emulators seems to have some other problems: double return, or null (^@) at end of every line after newline. I do not know any correction to it.

This should be no surprise since those systems don't negotiate or support telnet line mode. Only systems using more recent versions of telnet (NetBSD & FreeBSD) have this support. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 26 01:42:18 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id BAA25843 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 26 Sep 1995 01:42:18 -0700 Received: from Relay1.Austria.EU.net (relay1.Austria.EU.net [192.92.138.47]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id BAA25829 for ; Tue, 26 Sep 1995 01:42:10 -0700 Received: from vie.co.at by Relay1.Austria.EU.net with UUCP id AA01163 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org); Tue, 26 Sep 1995 09:41:56 +0100 Received: (from hvt@localhost) by oz.vie.co.at (8.6.9/8.6.9) id JAA03315 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org; Tue, 26 Sep 1995 09:35:48 +0100 From: anton horvath Message-Id: <199509260835.JAA03315@oz.vie.co.at> Subject: Routing problem To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Tue, 26 Sep 1995 09:35:47 +0100 (GMT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1817 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I like to use a FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE as router on our net for some days, due to reorganizing work. I use only one Ethercard, so the second Ip (B-class) for this router is an alias.

Stuff that is dumped on the screen by the kernel should go to syslogd for logging. It certainly does it out of the box... look in /var/log/messages. Those boot messages don't appear out of thin air. If kernel messages like that are not put into your syslogs it's a local configuration problem. e.g. this is a kernel printf warning me that I've tried to do a nasty to my SCSI CDROM. This also appeared in /var/log/messages ...

There is backward compatability, which is there at what I would call "great expense" because of the endianness choices being made in favor of Motorolla byte order. Specifically, there is now a type hint field in the directory and the size of the length has been reduced from a short to a char, the other char being stolen for the hint field. In the superblock, there are several additional fields that the fsck does not recognize as being there for backward compatability. They store, among other things, the maxsymlinklength. The existance of these fields makes old FS's appear "dirty" on each reboot. Symlinks are allowed to be stored as directory entries rather than having inodes at all. There are semantic differences for links in directories with the sticky bit/SUID/SGID bits set that result from this. Specifically, you can create links for which you do not have priveledges to delete. There are bits which attribute the file: schg file can not be changed uchg file can not be changed; can be unset by root or owner arch file has been archived (root only) dump file should not be archived sappend file can only be appended to uappend file can only be appened to; can be unset by root or owner sappend/schg can only be unset in single user mode. In addition to these changes, the FS in 386BSD did not support the clean flag, and the current and immediately previous FS does. So the FS /has/ changed somewhat.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Last weekend I was working on porting the SOCKS 4.2 software to freebsd. The 4.2 code already had an entry for freebsd1.1. This worked fine to get the code to compile. When I started testing the clients they would work only if I gave the IP number. It failed if name resolution was required. I don't run DNS locally. The SOCKS server is running it and I know that works because we have this software installed on or sun network and the SOCKS clients work fine there. Stepping thru the client code it looked like the local system was being used to do name resolution. Does anybody on this list use SOCKS? Any clues about how to get the remote server to do the DNS resolution?

The idea is, if you have to ask, then you are really likely to fall into the category of someone who shouldn't do it anyways. What with more and more people hacking into stuff to support multiple disks, having to deal with two different dislabels, and not being sure which one is there, seems to be asking for trouble. I'll let you decide, if you say to folks there's a way to upgrade without reinstalling. I think the level of support needed is gonna rise way up. Especially when 2.1 comes out, and folks want to upgrade. Maybe my way isn't totally true, but it might save FreeBSD getting a bad rep when folks who are underqualified to try this screw things up, and blame us for it. You'll have to agree, I think, the reinstall route is WAY safer, altho hard on folks. > > Jordan > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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 Tue Sep 26 13:55:58 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id NAA21896 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 26 Sep 1995 13:55:58 -0700 Received: from Glock.COM (root@glock.com [198.82.228.165]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA21888 for ; Tue, 26 Sep 1995 13:55:53 -0700 Received: (from mmead@localhost) by Glock.COM (8.6.12/8.6.12) id QAA13673; Tue, 26 Sep 1995 16:55:49 -0400 Date: Tue, 26 Sep 1995 16:55:49 -0400 From: "matthew c. mead" Message-Id: <199509262055.QAA13673@Glock.COM> To: David Langford Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: SMC 16 bit card In-Reply-To: Your message of Tue, September 26, 1995 10:35:06 -1000 References: <199509261928.PAA13176@Glock.COM> <199509262035.KAA09223@ maui.com> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, September 26, 1995 at 10:35:06 (-1000), David Langford wrote: > Um I am using two of the EtherEz's in a routing configuration so I think they > do work fine.

Socks only implements the sockets stuff. You would have to implement the DNS stuff. The real question is... if you have access to the socks server, do you not also have access to the socks servers name server? If so, why not use it? If you want to resolv with the local /etc/hosts file, you can set that in /etc/host.conf. Good luck.

Date: Wed, 27 Sep 1995 11:29:34 +0100 From: David Clear Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm very close to buying what Gateway here in the UK call a a "P5-90 Premium Multimedia". This has: P90 Processor 16MB EDO RAM 1Gb EIDE disk Quad speed CDROM 17" Vivitron monitor 2Mb Graphics card (ATI Mach 64 (?????)) I'm planning to run FreeBSD and Windows 95 (or 3.1 if 95 turns out to be a turkey). The first kind of response to this I'm looking for is: "Yes it will work, no problems." or "No! Don't do it Dave." The one thing I am concerned about is that the advert doesn't mention cache memory. The 133 model does have 256K sync burst mode cache. I don't know much about PC motherboards, memory types or cache technology. I've been hearing words like Zappa and Endeavour recently - I assume Endeavour is better than Zappa as it's newer... but I don't know why.. nor do I know which one Gateway uses. I've heard EDO RAM lets you access data in the same row quicker - sounds good. But I've also heard that EDO ram without a sync burst mode cache doesn't give you anything - so EDO _without_ a L2 cache? I'm missing something I think. I'd like to hear from someone who knows. The last point is on graphics. I'd like 1280x1024. Will I get it from this setup? If not, what do I need? Gee... I've been working with UNIX systems for the past 8 years and it's just been a case of plugging the bits in that DEC or Sun provide and off you go. Now it's my own money (Gateway quote 2213 UK pounds - I'll leave my American friends to work it out for themselves... then they can have a good laugh and be thankful they live where they do...) and there are a million choices.

SCSI is current much more flexible and currently, a more intelligent interface. > 3) SCSI is generic. IDE is pretty much a PC thing. In the future > SCSI devices will continue to work on PowerPC's, Macs, etc. Support > for E/IDE is not so concrete. Good point, however in my favour. The fact that (E)IDE is "pretty much a PC thing", makes its use more seamless and 'compatible' with PC architectures as compared to SCSI. How many SCSI implementations are there for the PC? Too many! This means incompatibility and loss of flexibility (which was I believe your second point) right out of the box. A good example of this is the fact that FBSDs hardware guide can say that it supports IDE controllers without listing each individual make and manufacturer as it has to do for SCSI. This is rather big point in favour of IDE (and hopefully, EIDE soon). And there are the other reasons like price and availability of the EIDE drives that make it a very good option for PCs. If the PC market had adopted a standard SCSI interface for the PC several years ago, then maybe my points would all be moot. Unlike, Apple and most workstation manufacturers, SCSI was left out of the loop of PC architecture. Instead, IDE was adopted. And EIDE is a closer step in the direction of a "standardized interface" for the PC arch. > Yes, SCSI does cost a bit more, however you get what you pay for. Yes, and if youre creating a solution to take advantage of *one* OS or application, then you *may* find a SCSI implementation that supports your hardware and software. However, if you (as many of us are) want to remain as standardized as is reasonable, to take advantage of various OSs, then (E)IDE is (currently) the *only* way to go.

It looks like you tried to boot from root.flp. Did you produce the boot.flp? Use (under DOS) rawrite.exe boot.flp (I believe it is self explaining with regard to drive letter/number - don't know off memory). After booting the boot.flp you will be offered an installation menu. Go into partition and look if your partitions are ok. The go into Label disk and define the FreeBSD partitions on the respective slice including mount points (/, swap, evtl. /var, /usr/home or whatever you like or have space for).

The IDE interface on most of these Triton/PCI boards is an RZ1000. The RZ1000 is known buggy. 1/3 of all IDE controllers are RZ1000. They can't handle an interrupt while doing DMA. This won't bother you on FreeBSD, but on Win95 and Linux, you will get silent data corruption. On Win95, you can work armound it by losing most of your system performance by turning off 32 bit disk I/O. Personally, I'd recommend an NCR SCSI controller, which is about $40-$60 US.

I'm attempting to install kerberos on what is now the latest stable relase. I was initially confused by the FreeBSD handbook on kerberos, and attempted to build both kerberos, and eBones. Now I think I have things installed, but am running into other difficulties. I have a couple of more generic questions before I detail my current problem. 1) Can someone give me some pointers to kerberos documentation, as it relates to FreeBSD? 2) Is there a kadmin and/or kadmind for kerberos, (I only see it in the eBones distribution0, or is it necessary? 3) How about kpasswd? (I seem to have run across that one a number of times in my journies. :-) Here's a description of my latest problem. I've gone through the process described in the handbook as far as I can. (i.e. set up the /etc/kerberosIV files, kdb_init, kstash, kdb_edit with principals = passwd and rcmd, and ext_srvtab.) There was no kadmind, so I proceeded to set up a user "newbie" with kdb_edit, (no instance, but supplied a password). I verified the user on the server with the kinit, and klist programs. cygnus# kinit newbie Kerberos Initialization for "newbie" Password: cygnus# klist Ticket file: /tmp/tkt0 Principal: newbie@BigSky.Net Issued Expires Principal Sep 26 13:18:53 Sep 26 21:18:53 krbtgt.BigSky.Net@BigSky.Net When I try to login (as newbie), from a server running kerberos, I get an error in my kerberos.log file, as follows. 27-Sep-95 10:32:57 Getting key for BigSky.Net 27-Sep-95 10:32:57 Initial ticket request Host: 205.138.104.123 User: "newbie" "" 27-Sep-95 10:33:27 UNKNOWN "krbtgt" "BIGSKY.NET" Anyone with any thoughts, or comments?

Ok, Mike's Canonical List of Why IDE Is Really Bad: 1) IDE interfaces use PIO, requiring CPU intervention for every byte transferred. All decent SCSI interfaces use busmaster DMA, which soak unused memory bandwidth, reducing the impact of disk I/O on compute performance. 2) IDE disks can't disconnect, or accept multiple commands, so you can only have one command at a time outstanding, and thus the drive can't sort outstanding commands to optimise actuator movement. SCSI does all this and lots more. 3) SCSI disks are transportable; when you ditch your Klone and move elsewhere, all your disk can come with you. With IDE, you're stuck with buying another Klone. 4) You can hang _lots_ of things off a SCSI bus. You can also have some of them outside your system unit. With IDE you're basically restricted to disks and CDs. That'll do for now; there are more. > Serge. -- ]] 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 UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!

In any case, they don't come with boot ROMs, so it's unlikely that you will be able to boot any OS using it. If you are using one to install FreeBSD onto a second controller, then you are probably SOL unless you can get DOS to boot off the thing too.

Telnetting also works in just fine. I've tried different solutions to fix this -- replacing the keyboard, and so forth, but to no avail. With other OS's, i do not have this problem, but with FreeBSD, this occurs. I notice it tends to do this on the window that is compiling and when I switch a little too fast, it freaks out... Anoter thing that I'm wondering what this message means, or is, as I get a warning message always right after I boot up, that says, "pcca71 routed[47]: packet from unknown router, 192.26.10.2" Anyone have any idea what this is?

I'd like to retire that to line printer status only and purchase either a low end postscript level 2 capable laser printer, or a mid to high end ink/bubblejet printer. I'm leaning towards the ink/bubblejet printers right now because PS laser starts higher than I'd like to spend. I know that the HP DJ540, 550, 560, and 660 are all very well supported with apsfilter and ghostscript, but from the reviews I've been reading, the Canon BJC-4000 does a lot better job. And then apparently the Epson Color Stylus II is even better. What I would like to know is whether or not anyone's out there running either of these two printers, and if so, how well do they reproduce a postscript document as prepped by ghostscript?

Date: Thu, 28 Sep 1995 09:53:51 +0100 From: David Clear Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Thanks for all the input so far. It's really helping. I've spoken to Gateway who tell me it's a Zappa motherboard. They also say that straight EDO RAM gives a 15% performance improvement over normal RAM + cache. Any comments? I'm going to opt for a 2Gb SCSI disk and a quad speed SCSI CDROM. To be honest, I knew SCSI was the answer - but recently I've been reading things that said EIDE was the new PC way and there were no advantages over SCSI. I'm glad that information was wrong. The question now is on SCSI and motherboard options. It seems that the SCSI options are AHA-2940 (available as an option from Gateway) or NCR-58C10(*) which I believe is an option from a UK company called Viglen whose kit I've used before and have a very good reputation over here. The Viglen also comes with an Endeavour motherboard and 256K standard cache with an option for burst mode cache at an additional charge. The Gateway option makes the most sense financially. Their package comes with a sound card, speakers and Office 95 as standard and, as I said, SCSI is available as a supported option (but they don't do SCSI CDROM so I'll have to get that elsewhere). Their kit also comes with a 3 year parts warranty (1st year on-site). I'd like to go for the solution that makes the most technical sense though. Speed isn't the be all and end all, which is why I'm opting for a 90Mhz Pentium as opposed to a 133MHz. It's a great deal of money and I can't afford a package that doesn't work. Specifically: + Which has the better support in FreeBSD, AHA-2940 or NCR-58C10. I will be using SCSI disk, tape and CDROM. + Which is the 'safer' motherboard, Zappa or Endeavour?

I have tried FTP from my local mirror site (physics.usyd.edu.au), I have tried a parallel lap-link cable using lp0, I have tried FTP to my development machine which runs BSD and from which I have tried making my CDROM drive visible, as per my previous note to you. I have also tried copying all the bin floppies to diskette and loading from these. However, I get a page fault error, something like the following which I obtained by asking for the debugging flag to be turned on in Options and by pressing alt-F2 before running the system generation process. I am able to delete the existing disk partitions OK. I can create a new FreeBSD partition OK. I can create three slices, /, swap, /usr. The root directory, / , is about 30 MB, the swap partition is 16 MB (for an 8 MB machine) while the /usr partition is is the remainder of the disk, about 68 MB. The system generation process performs the newfs function and copies the root data to /stand, and eventually ends up with the following error screen: DEBUG: strcmp(/dos, /usr) returns -17 DEBUG: Starting an emergency holographic shell over on the 4th screen DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file DEBUG: mkdir(/proc) DEBUG: mkdir(/proc..)

Can you see what is going wrong? I thought I'd replied to this already; perhaps not. You have a hardware problem. Either memory, cache or possibly your ethernet card (I don't know what you have, so I can't be sure) Tell me about your motherboard (brand, chipset), your processor, the speed of your main memory; what happens when you try the install with your motherboard cache disabled. Also if you've wound your ISA bus clock up above 8MHz, take it back down, and return any other BIOS settings to their defaults. FreeBSD pushes your hardware a lot harder than anything else; if you have a problem, this is what you'll get. > Kevin Luxford -- ]] 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 UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!

Sounds like a memory/cache problem, but may possibly be due to a race condition in the 2940 driver. Ask Justin Gibbs (gibbs@estienne.cs.berkeley.edu) for a pointer to the new driver. Obviously you're having problems building a new kernel - either he or I or someone else may be able to build you one that covers the problem.

Indeed: and something that may already have been mentioned: how many manufacturers make 2 and 4GB (E)IDE drives? Practical MTBF on (E)IDE drives is lower on IDE than SCSI (your mileage may vary). I've personally experienced this over the last 5 years, and in an enginerring/manufacturing environment. The idea for smart IDE controllers and LBA was added ex post facto (IMHO): SCSI hosts had been doing this for quite a bit longer. IDE is a fine fair thing for the DOS/Windows user -- get a big one (or two) and do your thing. But I suspect the profit margin for the manufacturers and PC vendors also keeps them attractive vs. SCSI. I've used them myself for quite a while, but when it comes to setting up a platform to play with various OS's, I've made the switch and am very glad of it.

The tar file comes with an XKeysymDB and the nls directory, and tells you to set environment variables to indicate where netscape can find these things. For example, I put nls and XKeysymDB in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, so I do the following in my .cshrc setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls and netscape is happy. Hope this helps.

Even then, depending on which version you're running, it may not work reliably due to improvements in the kernel tty subsystem. However, all is not lost. I have a version that is running on my -current system, but it is taking advantage of some hacks^H^H^H^H^Hchanges to other parts of the kernel to try to decouple the network and tty layer from un-necessary blocking of each other, while still maintaining coherent protection of subsystems like the mbuf allocator... It's non-trivial, but since ppp-2.2 wont be imported into the tree until after 2.1-stable is released, I've got time to work on it. If it can't be made to work, then it'll just go in the old way.

I have split the existing "C:" into two partitions: sd0s1 and sd0s2. sd0s1 contains the existing user data while sd0s2 is free and for FreeBSD installation. Now, sd0s1 is "C:", sd0s2 is "D:". 2. I copied all the "bin.*" and "root.flp" into "C:\FreeBSD". 3. After boot-up(using RaWrite.exe and Boot.flp). In "Partition" Menu, I select sd0s2 and set sd0s2 to "A", then quit. 4. In "Label" menu, I do nothing and quit. 5. In "Distribution" menu, I select "Minimal" and exit. 6. In "Media" menu, I select "DOS", and further select "sd0s1", then exit. 7. When I press "Extract" menu, it shows: " Couldn't extract all of the distributions.

That means tcpdump is doing something strange, since gettimeofday() is little more than a call to microtime(). The bug in question appears to be in the gmt2local() routine in util.c, and I believe it will be trivial to fix, as that code is clearly wrong. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

I can login first to Sun and then to FreeBSD and the problems do not "follow" me to FreeBSD. Sun is setting NCSA telnet correctly. FreeBSD is not negotiating with NCSA Telnet if i first login to Sun.

Note: There is a real problem with Freebsd and Ifconfig alias! I went over the back logs of messages from the BSD areas and found lots of people having a problem with ifconfig alias and an equal number saying it is easy.. what i noticed is the people having the problem were running FreeBSD and the people Saying it was easy were running BSDI.. The problem shows up only when trying to alias more than 3 IP's to a single host. The problem is the host falls off the net.. on mine the proplem was strange in that i could still telnet to the IP addresses of the office system and terminal server but not the router.. and from the console at the router i could telnet to the terminal server and the office system but not the main host.. well enough with the problem here is the soulation.. every thing i read sead to do the following ifconfig ep0 205.218.183.160 netmask 0xffffffff alias up to 2 it is fine the at 3 the crashing starts.. soulation: ifconfig lo0 205.218.183.160 netmask 0xffffffff alias this sets up an alias on the loopback then you need to route the alias arp -s 205.218.183.160 0:a0:24:9:5f:d9 pub this sets up a route to the ethernet address.. that works so far.. i have 6 set up and have seen no problems. note: when setting it up to boot these you will have to have the arp command in the rc.local file.. hope this helps some people.. and hope that the people at FreeBSD fix this problem.. (There is still a posibulity that there is a misconfiguration on my machine that is causing the problem with ifconfig alias. if it is working on your FreeBSD 2.0.5 or 2.1.0 system please let me know maby we can compair systems and see what is going on..)

Oh, you want me to tell you what they are? :) I *highly* recommend the NEC Versa/P, or any of the NEC's which have the high-res 800x600 screen. The extra pixels are a lifesaver, and after using the NEC I'm having a hard-time using the ThinkPad. :( Another plus of the NEC is it has a built-in SoundBlaster compatible sound-card which is supported by FreeBSD. They are a bit spendy, but are quite nice. For a cheap laptop, I'd have to recommend the IBM ThinkPad 360C. For about $2K you can get a unit, and then for another $600 for a 16MB module you'll have a very nice box with an active matrix display. However, FreeBSD doesn't work out of the box with the ThinkPad's, and requires a bit of hackery to install it but it's well worth it. The ThinkPads are built much more rugged than the NEC, but are a bit more non-standard. For ethernet cards the 3COM 3C589B is the easiest card to get working, and it works quite well. I don't have any experience with any other card, so others can chime in.

The answers mentioned looking at vidcontrol, and ncurses. These are fine and good, but I have a Color IBM ThinkPad which uses type 2 scan codes for its keyboard. So, I am forced to use the PCVT console driver, since it supports type 2 scan codes. However, vidcontrol, and ncurses colors do not work with PCVT. Is there any way to use color on PCVT?

For pcvt you have an own set of control programs, for your purposes i'd recommend you have a look at the man page for scon(1). Also i recommend having a look into the pcvt documentation to be found in the directory /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/Doc. For ways of how to specify colors and what is possible, i'd like you to uudecode and gunzip the file /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/demo/colors.vt.gz.uu, and then execute "cat /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/demo/colors.vt". Ncurses colors do not work with pcvt because there is no standard way of specifying colors in a termcap entry available (see termcap(5)). I am too lazy to find out how ncurses wants it, but you are free to do so. There should be no problem in modeling the color additions the way it is done in cons25 and add it to the pcvt termcap entry to make ncurses support colors for pcvt.

Sorry, I mean to say that, the 1.1.5.1 is also running sockd 4.2 release, and my understanding (after reading http://www.socks.nec.com/ stuff) is that sockd ALONE is sufficient to implement a dual-home firewall machine, ie my 1.1.5.1 box is NOT sitting behind a router which can filter out IP packets. However, I ran into the following problem : 1) On the sock-host (running sockd) I am able to telnet out and also external hosts (which are denied access in /etc/sockd.conf) are able to telnet in to the sock-host. If sockd doesn't handle IP filtering like ipfw, ip_fil, then I can understand that. If so (ie sockd 4.2 doesn't take care of those IP filtering), does anyone know if the socks 5 does ? Has anyone portedip_fil 2.8a onto 1.1.5.1 box without making it an LKM ? 2) Socks clients (ie rtelnet etc, also from 4.2 dist) are UNABLE to access beyond the sock-host even when the rules in /etc/sockd.conf and routes in /etc/sockd.route have been tested using test_sockd_conf to be valid! Yes, I have double, tripple check the config files and they are correct. SOCKS_HOST and SOCKS_NS are set to 1.1.5.1 box as well! It seems to me the access deny is really the effect of disabling IPFORWARDING rather than use of sockd, 8-((! 3) Netscape 1.1 running on a Linux box (behind sock-host) with socks host set to the 1.1.5.1 box and port 1080 (the one actually being used), is also unable to reach out of the network.

What I do here is to have the -current machine nfs mounted on the firewall (presuming that the firewall doesn't have nfsd running on it you can't go the other way) and then run sup on the firewall with the sup dir pointing to the nfs disk. Another way is to run sup on the firewall to a local disk then either tar or cpio the result to your machine.

First set up named with your system secondary and the current primary's ip address in named.boot as the primary. Second, start named (or kill -HUP it) and wait till named sucks up the secondary file (should only be a few seconds). Now edit named.boot to make that file primary and kill -HUP the server, and notify your current primary to make himself secondary and you primary. One thing you *don't* want is for both of you to be secondary at the same time for very long... Both primary is OK as long as the records are mostly the same. (it is a bad idea to make changes during this transition). Also the external world can't tell who is acting as primary or secondary; I'm actually primary for one domain with the internic not pointing to me at all; it only points to 2 secondaries. (this isn't recommended by any of the manuals, but it can be a handy configuration) >Also do I need to update the one on my secondary server when I update mine, or >is it automatic? If the times in the SOA are reasonable *and* you remember to update the SOA serial number whenever you update any contents (I forget remarkably often :-(, then (and only then) it is automatic. Since I can login as root on most of my secondaries I will sometimes force matters by logging in there and doing an extra kill -HUP of named (which works for this purpose in 2.x but *not* in 1.1.5; I don't know about Sun or other commercial versions of named but there's a good chance of them acting like our 1.1.5; in that case you either have to delete the zone file then do the kill -HUP or sometimes even to stop and restart named. (or just wait out the refresh time and let the process be automatic (if slow) the way it was intended.)) >last question is how do I make sure that my server returns the >addresses for machines not in my domain properly? As long as your root.cache is reasonable and you don't start named with the -r flag all should be automatic (also presuming you're not behind a firewall). -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 29 01:34:13 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id BAA03388 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 29 Sep 1995 01:34:13 -0700 Received: from genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au [129.127.96.120]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id BAA03382 for ; Fri, 29 Sep 1995 01:34:08 -0700 Received: from msmith@localhost by genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au (8.6.9/8.6.9) id SAA24157; Fri, 29 Sep 1995 18:25:47 +0930 From: Michael Smith Message-Id: <199509290855.SAA24157@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: PC configuration advice wanted.

Firstly : there are very few DRAM testers out there that are capable of stressing a part to the same degree that hard work in a running system does. Unless you spent tens of thousands of dollars on your tester, it won't report anything other than gross faults. None of the PC diagnostic packages I've met claim to stress-test RAM either. (In fact, most explicitly point out that they don't.) I've no idea, however, what you mean by 'after the upgrade', so I can't be sure that you weren't seeing a totally unrelated problem. The original respondent, however, was repoting a problem with a known version, and under those circumstances, it's much easier to be certain. > Litteken -- ]] 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 UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!

We already have a NIS+ server in NIS mode running on a SPARC w/ Solaris 2.3. The machine w/ FreeBSD seems to recognize perfectly well the NIS server, commands like ypcat passwd give the result I expect. In order to be able to use the NIS-password map for loging in, I put the following at the end of the password file (using vipw) +::::::::: So one would expect to be able to log in. However to my surprise I get the following error after typing a login name: yp_order: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable I suppose that the format of the password file and the NIS map are different. I found the password file having the format as described in passwd(5), whereas the NIS map has the following format (7 fields instead of 10): andries:z6rdfghast1.:330:30:Andries Algera:/home/vera:/bin/ksh Could anyone out there help me to solve this problem.

I typically use CVS or SCCS (depending on the box) to maintain DNS. I use a makefile to update the serial number YYMMDDXX so up to 100 changes a day are OK. The makefile also restarts the daemons. It's a pretty trivial method of doing things. Generally, I use a tree based on address inverse map hierarchy and logical subnetting (one SOA per subnet/logical subnet per tree level. Maybe we need a net administration utility that knows about setting up the various legal net/subnet configurations and maintaining the DNS correctly... I'm not volunteering for this one, though.

How do we create additional system calls? What exactly would you need it for? It's normally not a good idea to do it.

Sample code for how to do this is under /usr/share/examples. Note that on FreeBSD 2.0.5, all Makefiles under this directory are missing, and the source files are not buildable out of the box. So you might wish to grab more recent example files, e.g. from ftp.cdrom.com under FreeBSD-current. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 29 15:28:55 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id PAA05888 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 29 Sep 1995 15:28:55 -0700 Received: from devnull (devnull.mpd.tandem.com [131.124.4.29]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id PAA05883 for ; Fri, 29 Sep 1995 15:28:52 -0700 Received: from olympus by devnull (8.6.8/8.6.6) id RAA23885; Fri, 29 Sep 1995 17:28:39 -0500 Received: by olympus (4.1/TSS2.1) id AA04930; Fri, 29 Sep 95 17:28:47 CDT From: faulkner@mpd.tandem.com (Boyd Faulkner) Message-Id: <9509292228.AA04930@olympus> Subject: Re: NFS mount problems with multi-homed NFS servers To: tom@sees.bangor.ac.uk (Mr T Crummey) Date: Fri, 29 Sep 1995 17:28:47 -0500 (CDT) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <9029.9509252219@hermes.sees.bangor.ac.uk> from "Mr T Crummey" at Sep 25, 95 11:19:35 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL17] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1766 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > > Hello, > > We have a problem where some FreeBSD clients (2.0.5) are unable to mount > (using amd) home directories from SUN servers (4.1.4) where the SUN server > has 2 ethernet interfaces.

Charlie, Easy one ! :- mount_msdos /dev/fd0.1440 /mnt ...mounts a dos 1.44 floppy in drive A on /mnt or you can ditch the floppys altogether and use something like :- mount_msdos /dev/wd1s1 /mnt ...to mount the DOS partition of your Harddisk.

It looks to me as if init just died. I've seen this once myself. It happend on wcarchive. It was weird - basically, somehow init either got sent a SIGTERM or it got confused. The result was that init killed everything off and went to single user mode. To this day I don't understand how this happend, but it was quite shocking when it occurred. All I did to restart things was type "umount -a; ^D", and the system came back up. Weird. I spent some time looking at the init sources and didn't see a problem there (but one could easily exist that I missed). My suspicion at the moment is that some system daemon has a bug (like an argument botch to kill(2)) that results in init getting sent a SIGTERM or other deadly signal. It might be useful if the kernel logged something via syslog whenever it sends a signal to init to indicate where the signal came from. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 30 12:28:35 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id MAA13341 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 30 Sep 1995 12:28:35 -0700 Received: from bravo.imagi.net (root@bravo.imagi.net [204.157.4.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id MAA13326 for ; Sat, 30 Sep 1995 12:28:30 -0700 Received: from ip126.imagi.net (ip126.imagi.net [204.157.4.126]) by bravo.imagi.net (8.6.9/8.6.10) with SMTP id LAA14574 for ; Sat, 30 Sep 1995 11:49:36 -0800 Date: Sat, 30 Sep 1995 11:49:36 -0800 Message-Id: <199509301949.LAA14574@bravo.imagi.net> X-Sender: corellg@mail.imagi.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@freebsd.org From: corellg@imagi.net (Gary B.

The difference was that I could reproduce the problem every 4 to 12 hours while crunching large numerical codes in 8M core with 64M swap. Eventually recompiled with the kernel debugger so at least the system froze with a death message. Never saw it die with the same task running, or same address, or interupt mask, or nothing. Error was always the same, "Segmentation Violation in Kernel Space" (signal 12?) or some such. Reverting to 2.0.5R seems to have solved my problems.

Or, alternativaly, is there a preferred way of making executions of the pwd db compilation include the NIS make (eg., shell script, etc?). It just seems that if one is going to include an adduser, having NIS easily configurable into it would be nice (it could well be; I just don't see it anywhere.) Also, the yp man page might want to be updated to include the fact that there is now client support, not just server support and a challenge to write ones own ;). My yppasswd question is still open, as to why yppasswd fails to change the user's password when ypchfn changes the shell/gecos info fine.
