NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use ctrl-alt-del from within any OS other than DOS. That includes FreeBSD. NEVER use ctrl-alt-del from within FreeBSD. To reboot, login as root and type: shutdown -r now Rebooting with ctrl-alt-del can corrupt your filesystems and cause data loss. Sorry for yelling, but this is a very important point.

To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello-- I have FreeBSD running on a 486dx2/66(Cyrix) with a VLB IDE controler. I want to put a adaptech 1542CF scsi card and a 1 gb disk on the system, but I'm having all kinds of problems. I can't get the bootfloppy to see the scsi card, so I just installed to my IDE drive and recompiled the kernel without some drivers. I have the system booted up from an IDE drive with the recompiled kernel and all seems to work fine until I try to start up /stand/sysinstall. It never sets up the partitions on the disk that I specified in the two disk editing screens. I did try booting -c from the boot floppy. Didn't work. :( I tried to config the scsi disk from the CLI, and I got this: % disklabel sd0 sd0: invalid primary partition table: no magic The disk was on a DOS machine previous to this. This disk is a DEC RZ26L 1001M drive. I'm pretty sure it has variable geometry. I've seen everything from 4 to 64 heads reported from this drive. If *ANYONE* knows how to get a primary partition table back on it, I'd be forever grateful. I've already tried creating an entry in /etc/disktabs and then doing disklabel -w -r /dev/sd0c rz26l foo I can actually get a 1GB partition newfs'd and mounted, but I would rather have several different partitions for /usr, /var, etc...

You are now running a driver different from syscons/sc0 with a different behaviour and different utilities to control it's behaviour. The complete documentation for pcvt is located under the directory: /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/Doc please have a look at ALL those files.

Any hints on how to change it back?

There ar four conceptual parts to a News system: 1) Operating system. /, /usr, /var, etc. 2) The history database. 3) The actual news spool. 4) Swap partitions. Basically, your best optimizations come from splitting in this order: 1) split the history database from the news spool. 2) split the news spool from itself (ie, put "alt" on one disk and everything else somewhere else) 3) split the news spool (and history) from the swap partition. 4) split the operating system off. (3 is memory dependent...if you have less than 48 meg of core memory it might become more inmportant). The history database sitting on it's own disk is a major win, because it gets accessed once for each article that arrives, and every time expire runs. It doesn't need two gigs though -- a 500 meg disk is more than adequate to hold two copies of a pretty big history file (and nothing else!) Be sure you read the INN FAQ -carefully!- before splitting things up. INN seriously assumes you're on one big disk, and there are lots of nasty little flags you need to give to news.daily, expire, fastrm, and the like to make things work correctly.

Does FreeBSD support multiple-drive volumes?? I was under the (perhaps incorrect) assumption that this 'striping' support still did not exist in FreeBSD.

Sorry for yelling, but this is a very important point. Yes, but if shutdown is unavailable....the system is locked up....perhaps ctrl-alt-del is a better option than turning off the power altogether or hitting the reset button. "Back channel" communications among new users (new to Unix & FreeBSD) suggest that quite a few of us have depended on ctrl-alt-del until we figured out shutdown, and with no ill effects. As someone wrote to me, "You don't even have to be logged in as root!" It would be interesting to have a more complete explanation of the problem and the options here, as well as the admonition "Don't log in as root, use su." Why not? A user id of 0 results in either case.

It does in html mode, but not in cpp > mode. [ ... Coding style ... ] I've found that coding style is generally a function of the tools you use to manipulate the code. For most UNIX-oids, it's 'vi', 'find', and 'grep', etc. Use of tag-files reduces the utility of some of these tools, making then redundant. Use of things like "cvi" results in some "unnatural" standards that become much easier to use with macro-editing. You can almost pick out which system and what tools a programmer uses by the coding style, unless they are real green and haven't established a style or adopted a standard style for a platform, with minor variations. For instance, you typically see instead of when a programmer uses the ^ regular expression to find a function declaration, either in vi in a single file or using grep over a large number of files. You see { Instead of { or { when a programmer uses the vi "[[" and "]]" commands (without using a "set paragraphs=" command in their .exrc) to find function starts. You see { instead of { When the programmer uses the vi "$%" to match statement scope, since it is less finger motion than "j%", etc., etc.. Not much relevance, I know, but it's an interesting aside.

Actually, you'd think it'd use reserved ports to implement rcmd-like vouchsafe authentication so you can avoid the annoying login from a trusted system that you're already authenticated to.

Sorry for yelling, but this is a very important point. BZZT. Thanks for playing, but you're wrong. means nothing to *any* OS unless the OS allows does something special with that sequence of keys. In FreeBSD, it used to mean absolutely nothing until I added the ability for it to reboot the system in the same manner as people were used to under DOS/Windows. When you press in FreeBSD you are basically doing the same thing as a 'shutdown -h now'. No disk corruption, no data loss. Now, whether or not you think it's a good thing to have is up to you, but you can safely do it under FreeBSD. However, you can't do it inside of X unless you patch the X-Server to pass the keystrokes to the kernel, which is actually a pretty trivial patch, but it isn't done by default. Read the man pages on syscons, kbdmap, and kbdcontrol for more information.

I got the docs from the FTP site and still have a question. I need to make absolutely sure that FreeBSD works with Boca 6-port i/o cards. One document mentions all Boca cards except for the 6 port, and the other mentions only the 6 port and not the others. Can you tell me if FreeBSD does in fact support the 6 port card from Boca, is it easy to configure, and will it work in conjunction with a regular comport thus giving me 7 i/o ports on a single pc?

Sorry for yelling, but this is a very important point. Actually, FreeBSD's handling of ctrl-alt-del is not dangerous. It causes the kernel to do a controlled reboot, almost identical to "reboot" or "shutdown -r now". -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 13:42:53 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id NAA26028 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 13:42:53 -0800 Received: from CVAX.IPFW.INDIANA.EDU (cvax.ipfw.indiana.edu [149.164.1.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id NAA26021 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 13:42:45 -0800 From: koenig@CVAX.IPFW.INDIANA.EDU Received: by CVAX.IPFW.INDIANA.EDU (MX V4.1 VAX) id 44; Sun, 03 Dec 1995 16:42:34 EST Date: Sun, 03 Dec 1995 16:42:34 EST To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <0099A526.CF58AEFA.44@CVAX.IPFW.INDIANA.EDU> Subject: Question regarding Creative Labs proprietary CD-ROM interface Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Good day: I have a question regarding FreeBSD 2.0.5 (although I believe the question pertains also to 2.1.0). I am attempting to get 2.0.5 to work with a Creative Labs CD-ROM drive that is attached to the system via a proprietary Creative CD-ROM interface card (i.e. this is *NOT* the proprietary Creative interface on a SoundBlaster card, *NOR* is this a SCSI interface on a SoundBlaster card, but is rather a Creative card that controls only a Creative CD-ROM drive). I believe from the FAQs that this card should work, and indeed the kernel identifies the card and the attached CD-ROM drive as it probes for devices. However, when I attempt to install from the drive or mount the drive under 2.0.5, the kernel somehow at that point can no longer see the device and reports that no CD-ROM devices exist on the system. My question is: am I doing something wrong that I can correct with enough tinkering, or is this Creative Labs CD-ROM proprietary interface (on a Creative CD-ROM-only card, *NOT* a SB card) simply not supported in 2.0.5 and 2.1.0? Any help or references to the appropriate FAQs where this is discussed in greater detail is greatly appreciated. Thanks to the entire FreeBSD team for the tremendous effort that goes into this software! ---Greg Greg Koenig From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 13:43:49 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id NAA26097 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 13:43:49 -0800 Received: from westhill.cdrom.com (westhill.cdrom.com [192.216.223.138]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA26090 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 13:43:46 -0800 From: gpalmer@westhill.cdrom.com Received: from localhost.cdrom.com (localhost.cdrom.com [127.0.0.1]) by westhill.cdrom.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id NAA28776 ; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 13:43:21 -0800 X-Authentication-Warning: westhill.cdrom.com: Host localhost.cdrom.com didn't use HELO protocol To: craigs@os.com (Craig Shrimpton) cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: linux emulation In-reply-to: Your message of "Sun, 03 Dec 1995 15:43:15 EST." <199512032043.PAA02007@solar.os.com> Date: Sun, 03 Dec 1995 13:43:20 -0800 Message-ID: <28774.818027000@westhill.cdrom.com> Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Craig Shrimpton wrote in message ID <199512032043.PAA02007@solar.os.com>: > Why would anyone want to "emulate" Linux?

It's hard to increase the size of a superblock in UFS without the world going to hell. You'd need a tool for it and there isn't one at this time.

Hi Michael, The Boca IOAT66 cards work like a champ. A friend and I put them in our machines this Fall. I believe we submitted a FAQ entry on setting it up. If it hasn't appeared yet, email me and I'll get you a copy. The only thing you need to realize up front is that it uses 10-pin RJ-45's which are not too common. 10-base-T uses 8-pin RJ-45's. We ordered a bunch of "custom made" cables for about $2 a piece with two 10-pin RJ-45's, then cut them in half to make two cables with BD-25's or DB-9's on the other end. If you want to pay more you can let the cable makers to this, or buy the cables ready made from Boca at something like $15 a pair! BTW, you should be able to stick two of these cards in your box using only one IRQ per card. That gets you up to 12 ports. Maybe more if you can set some other cards to really wierd I/O addresses and without using IRQ's 4 & 5. cheers, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

(archie for it) It runs fine under FreeBSD. A side note: I believe slurp and suck both issue NEWNEWS commands to the server which has LARGE impact on the server (at least INN). I've gone to psl which is a perl slurp and it uses .newsrc type files to retrieve news the same way your reader would (MUCH less overhead). > -Mit > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Will Mitayai Keeso Rowe, mitayai@dreaming.org > http://www.dreaming.org/~mitayai > Toronto, Ontario, Canada ______________________________________________________________________ Rob Snow Powered by FreeBSD rsnow@txdirect.net http://www.freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 3 22:41:29 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id WAA01501 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:41:29 -0800 Received: from dworshak.cs.uidaho.edu (root@dworshak.cs.uidaho.edu [129.101.100.160]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id WAA01495 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:41:27 -0800 Received: from brownlee.cs.uidaho.edu (brownlee.cs.uidaho.edu [129.101.120.128]) by dworshak.cs.uidaho.edu (8.6.12/1.1) with ESMTP id WAA29970 for ; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:41:20 -0800 Received: (evans911@localhost) by brownlee.cs.uidaho.edu (8.6.10/1.0) id WAA05069; Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:41:19 -0800 Date: Sun, 3 Dec 1995 22:41:19 -0800 (PST) From: Jason Evans To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Tape backup compatibility Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk My apologies for asking a simple question, but I've not been able to find documentation which answers it: What SCSI tape drives are supported?

However, in the handbook that comes with 2.1.0 it says: "npx0 is the interface to the math coprocessor . . . If you do not have a math coprocessor, you can comment this out."

It identifies itself as filling every Logical Unit in the chain, except the SCSI adapter itself. It comes up during the SCSI card detect device bit, where the card prints up all the devices connected to it, & there it is 6 times.

It works fine except of the NIS incompatibility of FreeBSD/BSDI code. The server can't read passwd entries via YP so that you have to have a special passwd at some place in your filesystem where the server can read it and then you must specify place in the server config 0 of course :-).

This can be seen when using the spreadsheet 'ss', and nvi.1.5x in split-screen. Removing the 'ms' flag from the termcap entry fixes this. (The pcvt termcap entries also contain 'ms', but the pcvt console driver handles the cursor movement correctly.)

This is fine and dandy, but will not work for, e.g., DOOM, which doesn't give you the source. Linux Netscape is also better than FreeBSD/BSDi Netscape in that it supports JAVA applets, and other cool stuff, and some people like to run that browser instead.

On-board Floppie (1542CF Floppie Controller Disabled) 1 on-board Parallel port (disabled) First problem was (stupid me) had deleted the "I486_CPU" stuff from my config file, so, surprise, surprise, the system wouldn't even boot my kernel. I re-installed my 386 MB and rebuilt the kernel with "I486_CPU" and "I586_CPU" re-inserted. The kernel now boots (hurrah!) on the 486 board! Second problem (I haven't found and fixed this yet). The system has two(2) on-board 16C550 (probably ASIC equiv) UART's. The kernel recognizes the first UART (at 3F8), and doesn't see the second one (even tho the port shows up on the BIOS set-up screen). The real problem is with my USR 28.8 Internal modem. It's mapped to 3e8 IRQ2 (actually IRQ 9) and works just fine on my '386 with the SAME kernel, but with the '486 it's not even found....... This is my PPP connection and I really need it........ Last problem (so far) is at boot time I get a: BIOS ERROR: RTC.....(not the exact words) It seems the kernel has problems with my RTC (real-time-clock). I will continue to investigate to-nite, but would appreciate any help you can give.......

Well, lots of people have said this. Windows certainly gets it to work, they might of course by querying the drive and realising it's a ony but I've certainly done nothing in Windows other than start up the cd player. Someone said that their Sony drives worked fine, workman has code to support a Sony drive but the FreeBSD port is broken in that it doesn't do any drive queries to find out what it is. I hacked the code so that it did do a drive query and the SCSI_INQUIRY command failed!

There are two likely problems that you are encountering. One of them is the sorry state of the FreeBSD lpt driver (don't throw veggies at me folks, please :) Sometimes, it's just slow, as if it were missing interrupts. I don't know what it is, and cannot afford to try another kernel on my only BSD machine. Usually, the driver will get to behave better once the device has been closed, and then it keeps running okay. Usually... What I do to resolve this state is that I send a couple of printer resets at the machine power-up, hoping that there is nothing else queued for the printer. The other problem could be one of those PnP software configurable sound cards emulating Sound Blaster. I've had some different ones (all with UMC chipset) and they seem to occupy IRQ 7 at power-up, even though they are not fully initialized at that time. Either move your printer interrupt elsewhere (beware, the sound card might be occupying the IRQ 5 for the MPU-UART) or boot DOS first and configure the casrd elsewhere (followed with CTRL-ALT-DEL or, perhaps fbsdboot.)

(aren't they the same thing?) `ufs' is the generic ``UNIX-style filesystem with inodes, devices, and symlinks''. `ffs' is a particular instance of `ufs' with an on-disk layout policy. `mfs' is a specialized kind of `ffs' which is only backed by swap. `lfs' is another instance of `ufs', with a different on-disk layout policy and a couple of system calls. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

It is strongly believed in some part of the research community that implementing threads in the kernel is a Really Bad Idea(tm). What you actually want to do, these people say, is to implement threads in user-space with a few hooks in the kernel (``kernel threading assist'') to allow the user-mode thread scheduler to get control at appropriate times. This has the benefit that an individual program can easily specify and/or modify its own thread-scheduling policy without affecting any other program or requiring changes to the kernel. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

This is an artifact of the default static FS initialization mechanism. 2) You must have at least one static FS that contains all allowable VOP's. This is an artificate of /ys/kern/vfs_init.c having a loop to count VOP's instead of an extern variable to set up the variable num_vops in vnode_if.c, where it really belongs. > I assume we can support it?

"UFS" is a set of common code used by both FFS and LFS (LFS is an FFS derived log structured file system). Like Veritas (VXFS), LFS uses FFS directory structures and other shared code to get flexnames.

Native support, at least as far as I'm concerned, hinges on integration of devfs as the default device access mechanism. 2) There is a Compaq SCSI comtroller that has transparent RAID. There is a driver for FreeBSD, although it hasn't been integrated. Look at the -hackers list archive, subject "Re: RAID" for details on the Compaq controller. Software RAID is pretty much unusable because of [lack of] speed, although there was talk at one time of altering the AIC-7770 based controller's sequencer code (since it is home brew anyway) to support RAID at that level, which would make it more realistic.

Older mask designs for Cyrix (and TI) processors did not correctly support cache invalidation for memory locations written by other than the host processor (ie: bus mastering devices, like SCSI). It is an error to set "CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS" on these machines (or if you ask Cyrix, it's an error to use bus mastering devices, ever). The compilation failure you are having looks similar to one I had when I was first trying to integrate Jack Vogel's SMP patches into my "-current + Terry's patches" kernel. It turns out that this is the error you will get on a #define'd assembly macro with a space or tab following the "\" continuation character.

From looking at the routing tables, it appears that both systems have an IP address out of the same network block. So all systems on the ethernet think the system at the end of the ppp link is locally connected, but it's not. You need to use "arp" to manually publish an entry for the system connected via ppp, so it appears on the ethernet.

I of course have to go in and kill the process, which proceeds to suck up all of the CPU. This seems to happen most with "pine" and "tin", but will happen with other software as well. I thought it might have something to do with the user environment, but I tried it with the default .login and a bourne shell and it still does the same thing.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello! The University told us that if we wanted to run a nameserver for ourselves (for Residence Networking), then we had to do so without using CNAMEs. Could someone shed some light on why this belief would be true, that the use of CNAMEs is frowned upon? Background: We want to use them so there is no question when a reverse-nameserve request is done, which machine they are referring to. We use static IP addressing when giving students IPs, and a name has been stock-assigned to the IP, ie if the IP is 128.223.170.164 then the name is riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu (riley is the hall name). We were going to create a nameserver for putting on student's names so we didn't have to bug the Computing Center if we wanted to get a name added or changed. We would just add a CNAME record from the new name (dwhite.resnet.uoregon.edu) to the name in the central nameserver (riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu). Thanks for any information you can provide.

NetAT mostly works (the version I have has problems as a router and with seeding); I've used it for file and print services. On systems where I've used both CAP and NetAT the performance of NetAT has been substantially better than CAP (hardly surprising since NetAT is a kernel level implementation.)

Initially when I tried to boot the system I got up to the point where it initializes the NCR PCI bus controller, then it hung. I now get to the point where it tries to change root to fd0c then it hangs at that point. The output from the boot is: [...] pci0: scanning device 0..15, mechanism=2. chip0 on pci0:0 ncr0 int a irq 11 on pci0:1 reg20: virtual=0xf509e000 physical=0xc0000000 ncr0: restart (scsi reset). ncr0 scanning for targets 0..6 ($Revision: 1.13 $) too many scsi busses, reconfigure the kernel chip1 on pci0:6 pci uses physical addresses from 0xc0000000 to 0xc0001000 changing root device to fd0c at this time it hangs... I've played with most setup options and cannot seem to find the proper ones to change.

One day I wanted to move the NIS master function over to a Unixware machine. This didn't work for many reasons and I reverted to the AIX. In the process a long line got added to /etc/groups (don't know if this is relevant). The FreeBSD machine blew up (I don't know how, I wasn't there) and when it came back up, login and cron die on sig 11s. I can boot single user no problem and if I don't start ypbind things work perfectly. As soon as ypbind is started, login and cron break. If I kill it, they're fine. I re-installed all of usr, bin and sbin by simply tarring over the current installation from the bindist over NFS. This made no differnce. This means to me that no libraries or binaries got hosed. So, the question is what the hell got broken? The culprit must be in var or etc as far as I can tell. Remember, this machine worked beautifully prior to this crash and I have since replaced the kernel, all binaries and libraries to no avail. Oh yeah, if I start ypbind, login and cron die but ypcat works fine. Login sig 11's even logging in as root too so its not like it's using NIS. Also, removing the long line from /etc/groups made no difference. Any ideas or am I going to have to re-install completely?

Following the instructions in the main INSTALL file I customized the ./apache/Configuration file as appropriate (I can compile the non-ssl apache-1.0 dist without problems). Next I simply typed 'make' at the distribution's root dir. It chug's along for awhile and then I get this error: making ssl/lib/des/libdes.a gcc -O -DRAND -DTERMIO -c read_pwd.c read_pwd.c:81: termio.h: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop. Editing the master Makefile and changing the makefile specified for the ssl/lib/des/libdes.a section from 'Makefile.uni' to 'Makefile' seemed to fix this one. Now when I do a make, I get this: making rsaref/install/rsaref.a "makefile", line 57: Need an operator Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue *** Error code 1 Stop. I haven't been able to figure this one out. I've been able to manullay make other parts of the package. This may be my only sticking point. What do you think?

If you currently use a PD disk could you mail me the diffs needed to get it to work. 2. Is there a way to update the the boot device without re-compiling the kernel. My problem is I have added a SCSI disk to a system with an IDE hard disk. There is no boot partion on the IDE disk, so when I boot I have to give the option hd(1,a)/kernel.

For example, suppose you have a point-to-point link between two networks, say 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0, and gateways "gw1" and "gw2" on either end, but you don't have any other IP addresses for which to number the interfaces on the (inside) ends of the point-to-point link: 192.168.1.0 --*[ gw1 ]*---point-to-point-link---*[ gw2 ]*-- 192.168.2.0 no address here ^ no address here ^ That is, what commands should be issued on "gw1" and "gw2"... the "route" command with the "interface" option requires the ip address of the interface through which to route, and in this case it won't have one (it seem like you ought to be able to just specify the interface name instead (eg, "ppp0")).

The main benefits of kernel threads are: 1) N kernel threads count as N scheduling entities in terms of competing for process quantum with the other M-N process on the machine. Thus a kernel threaded app on a loaded machine competes as N:M instead of 1:M for processor time. This avoids having to write scheduling classes to prioritize a threaded app relative to the number of threads it is running. 2) It scales under MP, since each thread is a seperately schedulable entity from the kernels perspective, and thus for O threads in a threaded application, cuncurrency goes up f(O)/N relative to N kernel threads for f(O) describing the fration of O threads that could possibly be executing concurrently for N <= the number of processors on the machine. The main drawbacks of kernel threads compared to user space threads are (in typical implementations): 1) You may only have as many blocking operations outstanding for all contexts in the application as there are kernel threads to map the operations onto (N-1 on good implementations that take scheduing into account). 2) When a blocking operation occurs, the thread causing the blocking cedes the remainder of the quantum to the system in a voluntary context switch, even though there may be other runnable threads blocked on lack of CPU resources. 3) The overhead in process context switch for a typical "all threads blocking" situation is as high as seperate processes (unless the scheduler is smart and schedules threads in a thread group to run consecutively on processor resources to reduce LDT switches and register set flushes). Typically, what you *really* want is a hybridization of the two, so that the full quantum of each kernel thread can be fully utilized by each user space thread, and allow an n:m mapping of user to kernel threads (for n<=m). To do that requires creation of a "highest" priority thread in the user space thread environment which is then run on the kernel thread whenever it wants to run... or some similar hybridization mechanism for scheduling user space threads using I/O conversion to pick user space threads to run on remaining quanta of kernel threads. This is hard, which is probably why Sun and USL didn't do it, but leaves the program able to easily specify and/or modify its own thread-scheduling policy without affecting any other program. At least no more than any other program that will consume its full quantum, given the chance.

If they are per 3.2.5 custom format, they are tar archives. They may also be using the SCO magic compress flag. If this flag is set in the tar header for a file and the file is compressed, SCO tar will uncompress it. On other systems, the files will be extracted without compression, but without a .Z extension. Use gunzip to uncompress, as they might be compressed with SCO -H option.

However I fixed ( ? read as played round with until working) it by removing all the scsi jumpers from the device. It seems happy to identify itself as ID 6 (no jumpers & it wants to be ID 6 ??) & its working fine. Maybe it has some wierd SCSI auto ID selection thing ? (wild guess).

I have the same problem w/ an AST Bravo pentium-100. It has a Mach64 ati-264ct chip integrated on the mother board. When probing for the sc0 or pc0 device it blanks the screen and stays blank. With a syscons kernel I can run XFree86 3.1.2's SVGA server in its 320x200 fallback mode, which also makes the virtual terminals accessible again. There has been some discussion of getting the mach64 X server working w/ it on comp.windows.x.i386 and on comp.os.linux.x newsgroups. So far none of the things they have mentioned have worked.

I'd already checked for the tab idea, but gmake has been a help! The source of the trouble seems to be the file [Apacheroot]/ssl/apps/Makefile. The above error resulted from the section $(LIBRSAREF): (cd ../../rsaref/install; make) (cd ../../libdes; make) Changing that first make to a gmake (per your advise) solved the problem. Unfortunately, on the very next line, I got into trouble again. It's trying to cd into [Apacheroot]/libdes , which doesn't exist! Should that have been included in the Apache-ssl tar file? Or do I need to point it at the existing /usr/lib/libdescrypt.a ?

Does anyone have a working example of code that uses mmap(2) on FreeBSD? I have tried several examples that have been quite all right on ConvexOS (10.2 and 11.0) and SunOS (4.1.[34]), but failed quite miserably when tried on FreeBSD (2.0.5). As I am beginning to suspect that mmap() is somehow different on FreeBSD from what it is on Convex or Sun (or maybe it has never really worked on FreeBSD) I would like to see a working example, if there is any available. If there is none, I'd better let that mmap() thing alone, and try to do something more useful. Cheers, // jau ------ / Jukka A. Ukkonen, FUNET / Centre for Scientific Computing /__ M.Sc.

I filled in the domainname setting in /etc/sysconfig so I could use NIS, and the machine hangs during the boot sequence, while trying to set the multicast and loopback routes. Eventually it prints a message similar to clnttcp_create: RPC: potmapper failure - RPC: Timed out and carries on. What causes this? 2. Why can't I have a line in /etc/exports that exports a file system to more than one netgroup? I have /local/etc cshosts1 cshosts2 cshosts3 in my /etc/exports, where cshosts[123] are valid netgroups obtained by NIS. mountd reports Dec 6 15:53:16 solander mountd[92]: Can't change attributes for /local/etc. Dec 6 15:53:16 solander mountd[92]: Bad exports list line /local/etc cshosts1 cshosts2 cshosts3 Using just one of these groups is fine.

I've got everything up and running and so far so good. Now, I haven't installed three options. By warped logic one could assume that one of these three may be the culprit(s). First, I'm not running tcp_wrappers or procmail like I was last week. I plan on installing them this afternoon. The big one though is that I'm not mounting my DOS partition. Not to add fire to the flame, but.... 8( Does anyone really think that this may be the cause of my FS becoming corrupted? I've gotten some responses that say the msdosfs is most likely to blame. There must be people out there who are using this in a stable fashion. If so, could someone please give me some pointers. I need to set up Samba to serve files off of that partition. Time for specifics. At one point the DOS partition was read-write instead of read-only. Likewise, it was rw by a group of people (there was some common work that needed to be done). Could any of this be giving me the problems of corrupting my FS? I'm running 2.1.0-R and the FreeBSD-stable kernel. Everything else with the machine seems fine so far (well one or two things, but that's for later mail messages 8). If anyone has any pointers to this, I'd really appreciate them. As always, thanks in advance... --Jerry 8) Jerry Alexandratos % - % "Nothing inhabits my (8 8) alexandr@louie.udel.edu % - % thoughts, and oblivion (8 8) darkstar@strauss.udel.edu % - % drives my desires."

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Today, I woke up, decided to reboot the system to fix the tape backup, and the system would not boot. Here's the problem: The partition table is -totally- screwed. There are all kinds of messed up entries in there. I tried booting to floppy, and using the fixit disk to "fix" things, but what I get back is the following: from fsck /dev/sd0 BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG /dev/rsd0 NOT LABELED AS A BSD FILESYSTEM (unused) I tried fsck -b16 (and b32 and b64) and I got the same message I tried fdisk. They showed the data for the partitions, and they were all screwed up. The question is, what can I do to restore the partition table? Is there anyway I can mount a partition, and get a copy of it somewhere? Also, is there anyway I can avoid this? I've got 400 users who are trying to get their mail, files, etc.. Please help!

The interface to that device, however, is not compatible with the interface to a printer and does not support the hardware hand-shake protocol a normal printer would do. Is there a way I could reconfigure the kernel respectively the /dev/lpt0 device to ignore those errors and simply dump numbers to the parallel port? It has to be something very simple, but I don't seem to be able to find it., Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately, it assumes that your FreeBSD partition is on the first disk only, and thus won't boot it. The OS-BS utility is a smarter boot program and will allow you to boot off the second disk.

That's not a great idea, since it will invalidate all the passwords in passwd, ie you won't be able to log in. We had this problem with someone's fbsd box we upgraded to 2.1. It didn't have des on before, and weren't able to log in. We ended up booting to single user mode to fix it, and that is hard if you don't have the manual boot sequence memorized. Anything that used the encryption libraries to encrypt something won't be able to decrypt it properly when you install DES. Oh, and I take no responsibility for this failing miserably and locking you out. :-) I haven't done this procedure myself, I'm guessing somewhat. Somebody want to help me out here... If you really want to use des, though, grab the file des.aa, rename to des.tar.gz, su to root, and extract using `tar xpzf des.tar.gz -C /'. Edit your passwd file using vipw and blank out the password fields for everyone, including yourself and root. Reboot and change everyone's passwords using passwd as root, and let them know you changed them. :-) It's not a great idea to 'upgrade' to DES on a running system IMHO, and the M5 encryption is quite good from what I hear. But you will need DES if you're going to run X.

Have you tried connecting to the POP server with telnet and debugging the conversation? POP3 is a very chatty protocol, and rather easy to debug. See the POP3 RFC (I don't remember the number off the top of my head) for more information. Also, if you pop mail client supports it, turn on debugging and watch the converstation between client and server.

As > someone wrote to me, "You don't even have to be logged in as root!" This, to me, is a really good reason to disable this feature. Do you really want anyone who walks by to be able to reboot your machine? I don't. I can't keep my screensaver active for my cat walking on the keyboard, pushing the mouse around, and stomping on the mouse buttons. What if she could reboot the computer, too? Uck! Believe me, she'd learn how to do it! On the other hand, if your UNIX system vendor put a C-A-Del in the console driver, you'd at least expect it to flush the buffer cache before bringing the system down. > It would be interesting to have a more complete explanation of the problem > and the options here, as well as the admonition "Don't log in as root, > use su." Why not? A user id of 0 results in either case. The root .login tells you "Don't log in as root, use su." to encourage you to limit the amount of time you spend logged in as root. Most experienced X11 users probably have a menu item or icon that creates an xterm logged in as root, or have a "workspace" (ctwm, vue, etc.) with a root login session instead. Doing your general work logged in as root is a bad idea, even if you're the system administrator, because it affords you very little protection from stupid mistakes. If, on the other hand, you're logged in to your normal, unprivileged account and type "rm -rf /tmp /*" instead of "rm -rf /tmp/*" you'll only be deleting your own personal files rather than the entire system. Being logged in as root for everyday work is rather like riding a motorcycle naked in a snowstorm: don't do it unless you really have to. If you have to, limit your exposure as much as possible. ;^) -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffet From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 6 12:40:21 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA18831 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 6 Dec 1995 12:40:21 -0800 (PST) Received: from intele.net (quervo.intele.net [204.118.149.20]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA18822 for ; Wed, 6 Dec 1995 12:40:14 -0800 (PST) Received: (wes@localhost) by intele.net (8.6.12/8.6.5) id NAA15105; Wed, 6 Dec 1995 13:40:43 -0700 From: Barnacle Wes Message-Id: <199512062040.NAA15105@intele.net> Subject: Re: Zoom 28.8 V.FC Modem To: jseger@scds1.scds.com (Justin M.

I have one of these also. The Zoom V.FC uses a pretty bogus 16550 emulator UART that the serial i/o probe in FreeBSD doesn't recognize by default. I have a patch for the kernel sio.c source file for 2.0-R; I don't know if these changes were incorporated into 2.0.5 or 2.1. Basically, the patch just adds a bunch of printfs to slow down the probe enough that the bonehead UARTS have time to respond correctly.

I have just acquired a copy FreeBSD 2.0 on the Walnut Creek CDRom. I am trying to perform an install and not getting anywhere. I created the boot diskettes using rawwrite and tested it on an IDE hard disk anc controller which I had, not realising that FreeBSD cannot access the cdrom in a sound card for data purposes. I have now installed an Adaptec AHA-1542 and Segate Barracuda 2Gb. The rest of the system is a Pentium 90Mhz with 16Mb ram, 512Kb VGA, and a matshita scsi cdrom. It had an IDE controller to give me two serial ports but I have removed it temporarily thinking that it may be responsible for some of my problems. WHAT happens ? The system starts up, reads the diskette and intialises a whole bunch of things. It then starts to talk to ahc... then ahb.. and then aha... and gives a message "waiting for SCSI devices to settle". After about 1 minute it returns with the message that the controller is frozen. I have test the same hardware and am able to boot under dos and read the scsi disk and make a partition on the hdd. I have browsed the CD for some time looking for any literature that may tell me how to resolve this or at least what to look for. I would appreciate any assistance that can be given Regards and Thanks Dave Franco from Harare Zimbabwe From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 6 13:20:18 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id NAA21847 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 6 Dec 1995 13:20:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from gvr.win.tue.nl (root@gvr.win.tue.nl [131.155.210.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA21825 for ; Wed, 6 Dec 1995 13:20:12 -0800 (PST) Received: by gvr.win.tue.nl (8.6.10/1.53) id WAA15337; Wed, 6 Dec 1995 22:20:00 +0100 From: guido@gvr.win.tue.nl (Guido van Rooij) Message-Id: <199512062120.WAA15337@gvr.win.tue.nl> Subject: telnet with encryption To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 6 Dec 1995 22:20:00 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Is kerberos needed for telnet encryption to work?

Obviously not very experienced with UNIX. If any of the programs you are attempting to overwrite happen to be running, you won't be able to open them for writing, even as root. You'll obtain EBUSY (text file busy). What you have to do is unlink the file (it won't really be reclaimed until closed, i.e. the program exits) and then create the new file with the same name. This, of course, leaves you with a small window of vulnerability where /bin/sh (and so forth) does not exist! It also has the side effect of fragging your disk badly. This is one of the many reasons most UNIX updates are done off-line, in single user mode, or booted from an alternate kernel ala Sun's miniroot. -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffet From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 6 15:30:52 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA03763 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 6 Dec 1995 15:30:52 -0800 (PST) Received: from intele.net (quervo.intele.net [204.118.149.20]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA03731 for ; Wed, 6 Dec 1995 15:30:37 -0800 (PST) Received: (wes@localhost) by intele.net (8.6.12/8.6.5) id QAA19965; Wed, 6 Dec 1995 16:30:09 -0700 From: Barnacle Wes Message-Id: <199512062330.QAA19965@intele.net> Subject: Re: freeBSD To: sokol@purch.ci.austin.tx.us (Dennis Sokol CNE) Date: Wed, 6 Dec 1995 16:29:41 -0700 (MST) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <30C5DBFA.E34@purch.ci.austin.tx.us> from "Dennis Sokol, CNE" at Dec 6, 95 12:07:54 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > Just a simple question.

Anything by O'Reilly and Associates, with a blue spine. This includes _Essential System Administration_, _TCP/IP Network Administration_, _Sendmail_, _Using Named and Bind_, and _Using NFS and NIS_. (I hope I got the titles right.) Also, the Nemeth et al book on Unix System Administration is good. A subscription to _Unix Review_ might be a good idea, especially if you can get it for free. Look for a colleague who has a free subscription and get a subscription qualification card from him.

(This option did not exist in older unix systems.) not unless thats some new default - I even went into kern_exec.c and commented out the if statement which disables suid if the process is traced or mounted nosuid and it didnt help.

I have gone through the installation process and am required to compile a program using the cc or gcc command. When I do this it gives me the warning ld: a.out permission denied. If I do this from root it does create the a.out file but it is not executable. I really need help on this situation as I am required to present this to my instructor by tomorrow evening. I did install the manpages and installation was completed to 100% but was then given the warning that there was a Write Failure, the disks were reformatted and done again but still the same warning was given. I would also like to know how I may install some of the other files such as games, info,....etc, without having the installation menu. Your promptness and help will greatly be appreciated as I only have a limited time to fix this problem.

I have been running FBSD 2.0R with PCVT and Xfree on a Thinkpad. Had to patch the ps/2 mouse driver, since the original failed to attach during the boot. I currently have 2.1R running on it, didn't try Xfree yet. I did notice however that the mouse driver still has the same problem, it fails to attach (even when compiled with the PSM_NO_RESET option). I modified the psm driver slightly, seems to work ok now. I will try Xfree soon, and post the patch if it works...

If the first time you compiled you did it as root - then there would be an a.out sitting there with root ownership which would not allow a regular user to over write it with a new a.out. As to running it - if you are in the directory that any program is in that you want to manually invoke you must precede the name with ./ or else it wont be found. So you would type: ./a.out and not just a.out ------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Hovey -- shovey@buffnet.net root@buffnet.net From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 7 06:39:58 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id GAA16824 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Dec 1995 06:39:58 -0800 (PST) Received: (from dyson@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id GAA16815 Thu, 7 Dec 1995 06:39:53 -0800 (PST) From: John Dyson Message-Id: <199512071439.GAA16815@freefall.freebsd.org> Subject: Re: Any operational code using mmap() on FreeBSD ?

I have installed on five systems so far and just minor problems but here is the stumper. I am trying to install to a Dell Dimension P100 with 16M of ram, an NE2000 ethernet card, and a 771 #9 video card with 2M of vram. It has two IDE controlers off of the mother board, one for the CDROM, and one for the IDE Hard drive. I am trying to install to the machine however I run into a new problem. I have to -c the boot for two reasons 1. I need to configure the ethernet card 2. I need to disable some of the devices that will interfere with the card When I dont -c the boot off of the instalation floppie (boot.flp) and let it go through the probing of all the devices it doesn't find the ethernet card. When I do -c the boot and disable the drivers I don't need and then change the value for ed0 for the ethernet card. It finds the card and probes everything else fine. However when I get to the inital installation menu, the machine (or at least the keyboard) is locked up and it will not allow me to do any user input. I have tried to get around this problem by installing without the -c and then configuring the port and irq for the card on a boot off of the hard drive. However when I -c on the hard drive boot it will alow me the same options. I can disable all the things I dont want probed and I can change settings so it finds ethernet card. When I quit the configure it goes through all the probing and again locks up at the first time it wants user input. This is at the Login prompt for boots off of the hard drive. The problem with this is that after I have set the card values and disabled the drivers I dont want, the machine locks up. Then I have to turn the machine off and the disks are not sync'ed. There for I usually have a failure on booting the next time. I know that one way to get way arround this is to compile a kernel with my settings and my devices that I want probed already built in however, I need to get his installation over ethernet so I need to -c when booting off of the boot.flp. If you have any sudgestions I would greatly apretiate it. If you know please write because I've asked a ton of people and they dont know either. If anyone knows if it may be a problem with any kind of hardware that he might have in his machine will you also include that in what ever you have to tell me. I'm beging, actually he's beging, but I need the help so he stops asking me for help.

So you probably got: a.out: Command not found. from typing: a.out Try typing: ./a.out instead. The "permission denied" error probably means that the user ID you are logged in as does not have write permission to the directory, or there is already a file called "a.out" -- probably the one you created as root.

Or, at least, it wasn't for me. I kept getting corrupt BSD file systems until I stopped mounting my DOS partitions altogether. It seems to be related to my having used FIPS to shrink the DOS partition down and the FBSD msdosfs not being able to handle what FIPS did to the FAT table, which I _think_ is a problem in msdosfs, not in FIPS. DOS, Windows, NT and Linux all appear to handle the DOS partitions just fine. I almost decided to return the FreeBSD 2.0.5 CD when I ran across that, but I decided I could live without access to my DOS slices from FreeBSD and I liked FreeBSD enough to keep it.

The question is what are the failure modes on 2.1. If there aren't any, you should upgrade to resolve the problem. If there are, and they are more severe, you should report them to be corrected, since 2.1 *is* being maintained (in the form of the 2.2-current).

X-Confirm-Reading-To: "Andrew Webster" X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Having recently upgraded a FreeBSD system from 2.0 to 2.1, I was left scratching my head over a strange performance related problem... The old system, FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE on a 486/33, 16MB with AHA-1542, SMC8013 AST/4 port network card was getting a little long in the tooth with various quirks & oddities so I decided to upgrade it. The new system: FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE on a 486/66, 24MB with AHA-1542, VLB S3 video, Digiboard PC/4, 3C509B NIC. I noticed that during large FTP xfers between my dos/windows box running winsock and the FreeBSD machine I was getting many timeouts, and FTP's (TCP's?) incremental backoff routine made the transfers excruciatingly long. Winsock was reporting many "unacceptable segemnts" and was backing off longer and longer each time. For the record, the dos box is a 486/66 with a 3C509B in it. On a hunch, I put the SMC8013 back into the new machine, and now it works as fast (maybe faster) than it used to! This leaves me wondering: 1. Is the 3C509 card a piece of junk? It works okay on my dos box with the SMC card in the BSD box! 2. Is the ep0 driver corrupting data packets? I tried all sorts of MTU sizes on the dos box, it still didn't work any better. 3. Is the ep0 driver dropping ack packets from the FTP client? Don't know. Anyone care to comment on this?

I believe running /usr/sbin/sendmail with an option to reduce the queue timeout is a good way to clear the queue. With sendmail versions prior to 8.7, you can use the "-oT2d" option to return mail over 2 days old (run "/usr/sbin/sendmail -q -oT2d" to run the queue); with sendmail 8.7.x, use '-o Timeout.QueueReturn=2d' to return mail over 2 days old (run "/usr/sbin/sendmail -q '-o Timeout.QueueReturn=2d'"). > Thanks, > jdl > > ps - No longer on "questions", so please keep my address in the loop.

I have patches for Pine 3.91 that I could send that solves these hangs -- one patch for ttyin.c that I received from someone else on the net, and a patch to signal.c that avoids a problem where Pine can get a SIGSEGV in its interrupt handler (and its interupt handler was handling SIGSEGV's, resulting in an amusing loop). I haven't tracked down where why Pine is getting a SIGSEGV, since users haven't complained, but I think it is related to reading news via NNTP with Pine. > | Matthew N.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, I am having some really annoying routing problems. Here's my situation: FreeBSD machine at ip xxx.yyy.18.61 connected to multi-homed gateway at xxx.yyy.18.1 The multi-homed machine is running RIP between installed adapters xxx.yyy.18.1 and xxx.yyy.180.54 Adapter xxx.yyy.180.54's default gateway is a router at xxx.yyy.180.1 My problem is this: the FreeBSD machine can traceroute to everything that is in the routing table of the multi-homed gateway at xxx.yyy.18.1 (all entries beginning with the same xxx.yyy.0.0 -- essentially my campus-wide backbone), but when the destination is outside of the backbone and not in the routing table, such as 192.216.191.11 :) , the packets are not being forwarded to the next-hop router at xxx.yyy.180.1. How do I get those packets on their way? Much obliged for any advice at all... __________________________________________________________ Mike D'Arcy Programmer / Systems Analyst UCLA Finance & Information Mgmt - Applications Development Tel.

I just tried to reproduce this behaviour using Netscape 1.1N on Windows 3.11 box and COULDN'T!!! And... I downloaded the Windows3.1 version of 2.0b3 and it also wouldn't do it. So, it would seem that the problem lies with the Unix verion of 2.0b3 I'm using (actually the BSDI 1.1 binary). So, if in fact I've setup my .htaccess file correctly (see above) then this implies that the .htaccess scheme may be compromised by some fluke (feature? :-) in the implementation of the browser. This seems, to me, VERY DISCONCERTING!!!!!

Sounds like what I get when I mount an msdosfs in ANY mode (read/write OR read-only) on my 2.0.5-RELEASE system (I haven't been brave enough to try it ont the 2.1.0-mumble-SNAP system I have access to). It seemed to be related, somehow, to having used FIPS to shrink my DOS partitions to make room for a real OS. From discussions I've seen, it seems to be a problem in the FreeBSD msdosfs (as opposed to FIPS) - mounting the DOS partitions seems to work just dandy from DOS/Windows, Windows NT and Linux. I bailed out of the idea of mounting my DOS slices under FreeBSD. I either switch to Linux or use 'mtools' to monkey around with my DOS drives from a UNIX.

A rewrite of MSDOSFS is one of the things on my TODO list. I am not working on it currently -- I have other fish to fry in the FS code right now, and other time commitments beyond that. Unfortunately, it's not going to really be a priority for me for another $250, which is what I need to install Win95 at home again so that I can beat on a live DOS FS with the interesting Win95 pieces in it. Basically, I'm going to have to buy another drive to beat on. My beater drive is currently running BSD on an Alpha loaner box I got a while back to get a port up and running.

We have 2 scsi drives. We have low level formatted both through the bios. When we go to partitioning our disks in the installer, it tells us we have invalid disk geometry. To get around this, we boot under dos and use f-disk to create a 1mb dos partition on the first disk. This stops the installer complaining about invalid geometry on disk 1, but not on disk 2. Unfortunatley, dos can't see the second disk to create a partition on it. The second disk is a Conner CFP1080S 1GB. The drive is marked as having 3658 cylinders, 6 heads and 66-120 sectors. The accompanying litrature claims it has 2794 cylinders, 8 heads and 72-114 sectors. We have tried telling freebsd installer all of these numbers (manually trying each value between 66 and 120 for 3658/6 and each value between 72 and 114 for 2794/8). :-( The installer said ALL of these values were incorrect. :~( Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Lamers @ Hobart College (Home page unavailable due to failure of second scsi drive) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 7 22:09:59 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA01878 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 7 Dec 1995 22:09:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from hornet.netac.co.za (hornet.netac.co.za [196.3.237.162]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA01871 for ; Thu, 7 Dec 1995 22:09:45 -0800 (PST) Received: (from tony@localhost) by hornet.netac.co.za (8.6.12/8.6.12) id IAA20861; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 08:10:01 +0200 From: Tony Harverson Message-Id: <199512080610.IAA20861@hornet.netac.co.za> Subject: Re: Named pipes...

Blake Most ISDN card support two data channels, and one control channel. So you can have two people calling into one card. They however will also need to have a spare ISDN card.

The solution given was basically to erase host.conf (actually, rename it to host.conf.bsd, which accomplishes the same thing, I think). If you're actually interested in the format that Linux uses for host.conf, I found it in the NET-2 HowTo document at sunsite.unc.edu. Actually, I've still got it handy, so I'll put the relevant parts below (any lousy formatting is 'cuz I just pasted it from Netscape): /etc/host.conf The system has some library functions called the resolver library. This file specifies how your system will lookup host names. It should contain at least the following two lines: order hosts,bind multi on These two lines tell the resolve libraries to first check the /etc/hosts file and then to ask the nameserver (if one is present). The multi entry allows you to have multiple IP addresses for a given machine name in /etc/hosts. This file comes from the implementation of the resolv+ bind library for Linux. You can find further documentation in the resolv+(8) man page if you have it. If you don't, it can be obtained from: sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk /computing/comms/tcpip/nameserver/resolv+/resolv+2.1.1.tar.Z This file contains the resolv+.8 man page for the resolver library. /etc/resolv.conf This file actually configures the system name resolver and contains two types of entries: The addresses of your nameservers (if any) and the name of your domain, if you have one. If you're running your own nameserver (i.e running named on your Linux machine), then the address of your nameserver is 127.0.0.1, the loopback address. Your domain name is your fully qualified hostname (if you're a registered machine on the Internet, for example), with the hostname component removed. That is, if your full hostname is loomer.vpizza.com, then your domain name is vpizza.com, without the hostname loomer. For example, if you machine is goober.norelco.com and has a nameserver at the address 128.253.154.5, then your /etc/resolv.conf file would look like: domain norelco.com nameserver 128.253.154.5 You can specify more than one nameserver. Each one must have a nameserver entry in the resolv.conf file. Remember, if you're running on loopback, you don't need a nameserver. -- Benjamin Lewis (blewis@vet.vet.purdue.edu) From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 8 01:12:40 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id BAA13204 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 01:12:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from relay1.oleane.net (Relay1.OLEANE.NET [194.2.1.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id BAA13189 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 01:12:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from ocegr.fr (hydra.dtsmtp.ocegr.fr [194.2.64.3]) by relay1.oleane.net (8.6.10/8.6.9) with SMTP id KAA10092 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 10:11:52 +0100 Received: from pyxis by ocegr.fr (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA13708; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 10:14:10 +0100 Message-Id: <9512080914.AA13708@ocegr.fr> To: questions@freebsd.org From: Gert-Jan.Vons@ocegr.fr Reply-To: Gert-Jan.Vons@ocegr.fr Subject: Re: 2.1R+PCVT+Xfree on Thinkpad (psm fix) Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 10:14:12 +0100 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk When booting my Thinkpad with a stock 2.1R kernel, either compiled with or without PSM_NO_RESET, I get the following; Dec 7 22:56:03 paddy /kernel: psm0 not found at 0x60 The patch below allows it to attach and data to be read from the device: Dec 7 23:19:15 paddy /kernel: psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard Note that this driver is having other problems as well, like returning EAGAIN on a read(), even when O_NDELAY isn't set. I tried running XFree-3.1.1 (from the 2.0.5R distr) on my 2.1R setup, and the keyboard is indeed completely dead. Don't think it is related to the psm driver however, since I had the same problems when using a Logitech mouse on the serial port. This weekend, I will try XFree-3.1.2 from the 2.1R distr to see whether it makes a difference. But for now, it seems that there is something in the combination PCVT + scanset 2 + Xfree that is broken, since PCVT + Xfree(-3.1.1) works fine on my 2.1R desktop system.

My drive is an 850MB EIDE drive by Western Digital and I am using the 'other OS compatibility' option. It has two small unused partitions around it in the partitioning table editor. When I use the standard MBR (not the 'booteasy') option it will say "Missing operating system" whether I set the partition active or not. When I use the booteasy option, I keep hitting F1 over and over, nothing ever happens other than repeating the "BSD F?" banner. Also, about the set active option, it doesn't always stay set after I quit or write. Booting off the 'boot.flp' floppy and typing 'hd(1,a)/kernel' or any variation of the above, including 'wd(1,a)/kernel' will not work. The hd() one causes "Error: C:0 H:0 S:0" over and over, and the other way will just crash and require reboot. I hope I am not the only one with this problem and that you may have a solution, your online help doesn't help much. =-( Also, a suggestion. In your step-by-step example for novice installation, you didn't explain the boot manager vs. MBR vs. none of the above choices. It skips that unfortunately, maybe if it was there this would work and I wouldn't be wasting your time.

To begin I want to thank all of the people who have helped me so far, there have been quite a few :) The reply time was EXCELLENT and all of the suggestions worked PERFECTLY. Great job! Question 1: I seem to be having problems getting tcpdump to work. Here is what I have done so far. I have an Intel Etherexpress16 card which seems to work fine. The PSEUDO-DEVICE BPFILTER 1 line has been compiled into the kernel. When I run the tcpdump program I get: tcpdump: ix0: Device not configured Also the tcpdump manpage seems to be missing!!! I re-installed the manpages but it is still not there... Question 2: Can you suggest any good SNMP tools? Qustion 3: I am also haveing problems getting the PC speaker to play sounds with nas or xanim. The device seems to work, I have catted .au files to /dev/pcaudio and got a bunch of noise. I have also linked /dev/audio to /dev/pcaudio. Nothing seems to work. I know I have some config problems with nas, I am writing the author for help on setting it up, but xanim should work. It works at home with a SB16 card just fine. Any ideas?

Date: Fri, 8 Dec 1995 13:39:25 -0500 Encoding: 39 TEXT Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk There seemed to be sparse docs referring to what happens if FREEBSD doesn't install properly, prior to the BSD (UNIX)prompt. My system installation never made it that far. Perhaps this is a specific problem and not many users experience it... I am installing FREEBSD from a DOS partition (my ACER IDE CD-ROM is unsupported). I went through all the pre-installation steps and allocated a complete 1.2 Gig hard drive to the installation.I also made sure my dierctories were the correct size. I then copied the installation files (ie. FREEBSD\DISTS\BIN) to my C:\FREEBSD directory, as outlined in the instructions. I did this for all of the files I wished to install, by the numbers. I selected all of my options, and then 'committed' them. Here's the proverbial rub... FREEBSD began installation but hung with an error of "cannot create the ROOT image" or something to that extent. I tried this several times and always would hang at this point. The message simply concluded "correct problem and retry." As a backup, I created a set of installation floppies for the MAN pages, and the Binaries. Installation went fine, however, I booted into a UNIX environment with none of the extras. No X, No nothing...When I tried to create floppies for X, I noticed that some of the files were 1.6m, rather difficult to get on a 1.44m floppy :( In summary I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem installing from a DOS partition? Is it possible that the *.flp images need to be "raw" copied onto my installation (source) hard dive? If so rawrite won't do it, it wants a floppy...I copied everything exactly stated in the instructions, and even checked the files with 'FC /b' to make sure they were the same (which they were). I also tried botting with a floopy and installing from a DOS partition that way, no go.

Well, DOS/Windows and Windows NT don't have real caches when using the FAT FS. Linux has 1k blocks on reading. It really does look to be FIPS related, which is an important clue, since the FAT size dictates the writable disk area. I'm betting that your FAT FS is before your BSD FS on the same disk?

I don't know the specifics, but the mtools-2.0.7 distribution has this check in one of its functions: #ifdef CHK_FAT fat_size = (fat_bits == 12) ? (num_clus +2) * 3 / 2 : (num_clus +2) * 2; fat_size = (fat_size / 512) + ((fat_size % 512) ? 1 : 0); if (fat_size != fat_len) { fprintf(stderr, "fat_read: Wrong FAT encoding?\n"); exit(1); } #endif /* CHK_FAT */ which my C: drive hits. The FIPS author (I think) was saying that the condition causing the error in this case is a legal state for the FAT to be in. I was hypothesizing (intuiting? SWAGing?) that this condition is probably related to why the BSD msdosfs has problems with my DOS slices. > I'm betting that your FAT FS is before your BSD FS on the same disk? Yes, it is. I got the PC with DOS/Windows preinstalled onto a single partition on a 1Gb disk. I shrank it back with FIPS to install Linux and I've since also installed FreeBSD. > Like I said in another message, I will rewrite this at some time in > the future if someone else doesn't get to it first. Great! Well, maybe one of these years I'll completely repartition and reinstall things on my disks, but that's not likely to happen anytime soon. Maybe not til after the FreeBSD msdosfs gets fixed so I could use my current setup as a test system (after making sure everything is reliably backed up, of course :-)).

SQL? Hm. There is one package available freely, mSQL, that does a limited set of SQL commands. I'm currently working with it's C API to write an IP number database for my job at the Universtiy. It has been ported to FreeBSD and works great. It definitely doesn't handle some of the things you mention, but could be implemented. I suppose you could do logging with the query debug function. :-) You could pick up a commercial solution (ORACLE, etc.) that could be ported. And, FreeBSD uses a different version number than BSD does. We're at 2.1-RELEASE now, available over the Net at ftp.freebsd.org in /pub/FreeBSD or on CDROM from Walnut Creek (1-800-786-9907) for $39.95. Hope this helps...

Does more than you need. I have made a test running FreeBSD on one machine, accessing data on 2 others running Unixware. All running postgres the files have 42,000 records each. The machines are connected via slip at 9.600 baud. I have made a "c" program (easy do code) that reads one record from each machine in an specified order, (say one code and the other name).

As a note, booteasy will not start FreeBSD off the second disk without some reprogramming. You can use OS-BS or any other boot manager if you need to boot off the second disk.

I gonna hazard a guess that I've done something wrong here :-) Any ideas as to what? __________________________________________________________________ Rob Snow Powered by FreeBSD rsnow@txdirect.net http://www.freebsd.org From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 8 14:50:08 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id OAA29701 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 14:50:08 -0800 (PST) Received: from cioeserv.cioe.com (cioeserv.cioe.com [204.120.165.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA29637 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 14:49:09 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by cioeserv.cioe.com (8.6.12/8.6.9) id RAA09251 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 17:45:04 GMT Date: Fri, 8 Dec 1995 17:45:04 GMT From: Marie Root Message-Id: <199512081745.RAA09251@cioeserv.cioe.com> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: sendmail configuration errors Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Am having a problem sending some mail to certain systems...

What is the configuration of your disks? I'm sorry, it is the first and only disk. I used that 'other OS compatibility' option in fdisk because it suggested I did that when I typed 'A' to automatically use the whole disk. I also forgot to mention, I have a Promise EIDE 2300+ controller and I noticed while browsing through the mail archives that this card was mentioned several times, unfortunately, not one message (that I found) ever said what to do to get it to work. One person mentioned disabling the on-board BIOS, but I cannot find how to do that in my manual. Also, if it matters, I'm running an AMD 486DX4-120 (who knows, it might be causing the problems...) with Award BIOS. > > > When I use the booteasy option, I keep hitting F1 over and over, > > nothing ever happens other than repeating the "BSD F?" banner. > > As a note, booteasy will not start FreeBSD off the second disk without > some reprogramming.

You will need a system with more memory to build the disks.

Btw, many kudos on the improvements since I used to run it (1.0, I believe). The problem we're having is with file locking over NFS. rpcinfo on our system shows that lockd is not registered and scanning briefly over the system shows that there is no 'rpc.lockd'. Am I missing something? This problem reared it's head because ListProc uses locking to prevent multiple updates. Our Sun(Sunos 4.1) mail machine attempts to lock a file NFS mounted on our FreeBSD box which results in hang of the process waiting for resources that will never appear.

It's just a beeper. I guess you don't know about our /dev/pcaudio device, which can and does play .au files. The quality is not the same as my GUS card, obviously, and it loads the machine down something awful, but it does play recognizable .au files. I know, I tried it myself awhile back.

I vaguely remember a similar problem to this. I also used the upgrade procedure to install new kernel sources. There are two problems with this:- (1) The matcd driver has been moved around a bit and the filenames are not all the same. This means that after upgrading you still have some of the old files lying around. This seems to stuff things up. If you clean /sys and then untar the sources you should get around this problem.

The problem with old files lying around is also an issue in /usr/lib. There seem to be a number of old versions of the shared libs hanging around but I haven't had the energy to go and clean them out yet. Guess they don't hurt but my /usr is now over 100% full so it is probably worth reclaming the disk space. /mark -- +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | Mark Hannon,| FreeBSD - Free Unix for your PC| mark@seeware.DIALix.oz.au| | Melbourne, | PGP key available by fingering | epamha@epa.ericsson.se | | Australia | seeware@melbourne.DIALix.oz.au | | +-=-=-=-=-=-=-+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 8 22:12:34 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id WAA28214 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 22:12:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov (fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov [137.75.131.171]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA28205 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 22:12:31 -0800 (PST) Received: by fslg8.fsl.noaa.gov (5.57/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA02667; Sat, 9 Dec 95 00:12:25 -0600 Received: by emu.fsl.noaa.gov (1.38.193.4/SMI-4.1 (1.38.193.4)) id AA23510; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 23:12:24 -0700 Date: Fri, 8 Dec 1995 23:12:24 -0700 From: kelly@fsl.noaa.gov (Sean Kelly) Message-Id: <9512090612.AA23510@emu.fsl.noaa.gov> To: terry@lambert.org Cc: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu, meother@sam.wal-mart.com, questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199512090220.TAA00925@phaeton.artisoft.com> (message from Terry Lambert on Fri, 8 Dec 1995 19:20:49 -0700 (MST)) Subject: Re: tcpdump Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk >>>>> "Terry" == Terry Lambert writes: Terry> Remember "Actung!" from "Castle Wolfenstein"?

The document you cite was written after FreeBSD 2.0.5, and it refers to a version of the tw driver that Rich Murphey worked on a few months ago, but which as far as I can see was never committed to FreeBSD-current. The version that is in FreeBSD-current does not have Rich's modifications, including the pin 12 stuff. I personally am using the driver that is in 2.0.5 (and have been for a couple of years). However, Rich was not able to get stuff working with the sync line on pin 17, and was forced to switch over to pin 12, with some modifications to the driver. Best would be if you can get Rich Murphey or Steve Passe to send you their copy of the driver. I can probably dig one up out of my back mail files, but I don't know whether it would be the final version that they arrived at. If you don't have any luck getting it from them mail me back direct and I will look for it. - Gene Stark From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 9 00:34:16 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id AAA04141 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 9 Dec 1995 00:34:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from onyx.southwind.net (root@onyx.southwind.net [204.95.83.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA04120 for ; Sat, 9 Dec 1995 00:34:11 -0800 (PST) Received: (from Ucomplet@localhost) by onyx.southwind.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) with UUCP id CAA07354; Sat, 9 Dec 1995 02:24:27 -0600 Received: (from jgoerzen@localhost) by complete.org (8.7.2/8.7.2) id XAA10550; Fri, 8 Dec 1995 23:26:18 -0600 (CST) From: John Goerzen Message-Id: <199512090526.XAA10550@complete.org> Subject: Re: compilation kernel problem To: msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au (Michael Smith) Date: Fri, 8 Dec 1995 23:26:16 -0600 (CST) Cc: Herve.Bigot@sycomore.fr, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199512081332.NAA07082@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> from "Michael Smith" at Dec 8, 95 01:32:24 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8b] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > Bigot Hervé stands accused of saying: > > > > SGVsbG8gLA0KICAgICAgICBXZSBkZXNwZXJhdGx5IHRyeSB0byBjb21waWxlIGEgbmV3IGtl [mimestuff deleted ] > If nothing else, this should tell for once and for all: > > NEVER EVER EVER SEND MIME MESSAGES TO A MAILING LIST!

Uh.. if you hack your console driver to handle "keyclick on/off" and make noise for it, and if you hack you XFree86 to ask for keyclicks on and off, then the plain-ol-speaker driver will do that.

OnTrack does geometry translation and translated C/H/S to lba for EIDE drives. Mostly it's for budgo controllers, which is to say 99% of IDE controllers, which are too stupid to translate geometry on their own. If you can boot off a DOS boot floppy and run FDISK and see your DOS partitions (or cd to the C: drive) then you aren't running OnTrack.

Doing RAID in the kernel without your own sequencer code (possible on the Adaptec and NCR controllers, but not written) is insane. The overhead would render it nearly unusable.

Ok, well I'm not running OnTrack.. I tried disabling the on-board BIOS on my Promise card, but that didn't solve anything. Something that is totally baffeling(sp?) me is that whenever I set the main partition to be active and then I reboot, it is no longer active. I did try booting off boot.flp with the -rwd0 someone mentioned worked for them in the email archives, yet it doesn't do anything different, and even if it does, I can't tell because it still boots sysinstall instead of /sbin/init.

I'm running one here with very good luck. Things you might want to check: 1) is lba off in BIOS? (motherboard) 2) is lba off on the card? 3) make sure that both of these are OFF when you format AND fdisk the drive. ( The Promise docs say that if its on/off for (format or fdisk (dont remember)) that it stays that way.) 4) I'd leave the onboard BIOS disabled if it's a 2300+, even in Win95. The drivers that are supplied override the cards BIOS when they load and in FreeBSD you can mess with the flags in your kernel config to get 32bit access and multi-sector transfers. See LINT for example. ) 5) The __CRASH_OF_95__ happened here when I was jacking around with attempting to reenable the cards BIOS to see what it did.

Have you considered getting a different EIDE controller? When I bought my machine in January, they were $22, now they're about $11 or $12 for VL-BUS EIDE, floppy, 2 serial, 1 parallel, 1 game; add $40 if you want 16550 serial ports.

The PC is about 50 miles (don't know what that is in kilometers) from me, so I can't tend to it easily. It had been running since November 15, 1995 with no special errors in the messages file. Problem: This morning a couple of people were logged on at 1:40AM and then nobody was able to login after that. Telnetting in said connection made and then no 'getty' message and no login prompt. Was able to type carriage returns and it would go down a line, but not able to login. ping said it was alive and there were traceroute results. Don't know if the web server was responding at that time. Paged the system office and they power-cycled it. They said there was no login prompt at the monitor and no error messages on the console. /var/log/messages and dmesg - show no error messages. It booted fine when it was restarted. (That was 9am, by the way.) This afternoon I suddenly got the same symptoms: telnet in gave blank lines and no login prompt. Tried twice from two different systems. Then I tried lynx http://www.river.org and got the web page just fine. Then I tried telnet in again and got in. There were four people on and again no error messages anywhere. (This morning nobody was able to get in after 1:40am and a lot of people tried.) Any advice? I do intend to upgrade to 2.1 when I get the CD. Thanks!

You don't understand how executable files are handled by FreeBSD. When a program is run, its file effectively becomes a read-only part of the swap space, and parts of the file are swapped in as required to be run. This means that while the program is running, the file can't be changed, or the running program would crash. If you delete the file, it's still referenced (by the kernel, which is running the program), so while the directory entry goes away, the file still exists and the program runs fine. Once you've done this, you can create a new file and matching directory entry without causing any problems. Having said this, I'm fairly sure that the extraction process as currently implemented does actually do the Right Thing. > John Goerzen, programmer and owner | MICRO$oft only exists because some -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
