Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just purchased one of these drives, because I have to backup a lot of sties and I don't want to worry about if they have a such-and-such interface already, and I don't want to have to open up the computer and install something and have to remove it everytime I back someone up. So I opted for a external parallel-port tape drive. This works great, and I love it, don't get me wrong. But I was curious as to the state of these drives under any of the free UNIXes (especially FreeBSD). Last I heard, the QIC-117 (? - I think that's what it's called) standard for interfacing over the parallel port was a closely-guarded secret, and required huge sums of money and a non-disclosure agreement to get the spec's on. But maybe I heard wrong, or maybe this has changed, or maybe Iomega is a little more generous with their standards than, say, HP/Colorado or something. AT any rate, in general, I'm trying to find out: 1) is a driver for these tape drives under FreeBSD available? 2) is it possible to inexpensively get the spec's for one of these and write a driver for it? (obviously, I'd prefer releasing it as source, but if not possible [ie if they require a NDA] I would consider a binary-only release, since I'm not really planning on GPL'ing it) 3) if the answer to 2) above is "Yes!", who do I contact at Iomega or wherever, and how do I contact them? (email? fax? snail mail?) and what do I say or ask for specifically? Any and all help appreciated. Thanks!

For MS-DOS, it is OK to share IRQs 4 & 3 between the four COM ports, but with FreeBSD you need IRQ 9 for sio3. If you change this and it still doesn't work, it will be helpful to know what probe tests the modem is failing. To do this, enter /kernel -c at the Boot: prompt, and then flags sio3 0x80 quit at the config> prompt. You should then see one or more lines with the format sio3: probe test %d failed You can then check out /sys/i386/isa/sio.c -- look for assignments to the failures[] array in the function sioprobe(). It may help to add a DELAY(1000) or so before some of these tests; otherwise, you could just disable them for the specific device. Of course, the good news is: if you change sio.c, the next step is to recompile the kernel. :-) -- Robert Nordier rnordier@iafrica.com E.A.C.

Specifically, I want to use NetBSD *and* FreeBSD. I've done this easily under Linux, but I'm having problems understanding BSD filesystem-isms. What I want is one area of about 250 megs for NetBSD and a larger (>500 meg) area for FreeBSD. The NetBSD area is needed as a test/development area while the FreeBSD area is a safe zone for my normal use and important data/files. For those of you who are curious, I got FreeBSD 2.0.5 on CD (Walnut Creek) in order to run Mach in order to run Lites in order to run Hurd. As it happens, FreeBSD 2.0.5 is not suitable (2.0 would've been). So I dl'd NetBSD which is OK. Unfortunately, I was *really* impressed with FreeBSD and want to run it now (instead of my copy of Linux). I could probably do all this 10 times easier with NetBSD/Linux, but where would be the fun in that?

Gratton" Subject: Troubles Installing the OS... Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Good morning everyone.... I'm sorry to bother you with some problems, I guess you might be kinda overloaded with such mail traffic, but I seem to be unable to install FreeBSD at the place (partition) of MY choosing. Nowhere in your doc is a place that suggests that you have to install FreeBSD in a PRIMARY partition, so I assumed that I could install it in an unformatted logical one, but somehow it fails. Actually, in the INSTALL.TXT file, there's a section concerning the utility FIPS that suggested that you could install both from a PRIMARY or LOGICAL (... or so I assumed). To help you, here follows a full description of my equipment (hardware/software/OS that I run), followed by my partition scheme... Of course, some info here could be irrevelant, but I give it to you anyway, one never knows :) AMD 80486 dx4-100MHz 16 MB RAM 72pins SiS 471G Motherboard ATI Mach 32 VLB video card Western Digital AC24xx 425MB Hard Drive (Master) Maxtor 7850 850MB Hard Drive (Slave) SB 16 (OEM) + Panasonic 563 CDROM OS that I run: Lose95, Dos6.22, OS/2 Warp, Linux (I'll remove it as soon I can get FreeBSD to run), and hopefully FreeBSD :) Partition scheme: Master HD (Western Digital 425MB) 425MB formatted gives 405MB Primary, 150MB Extended logical, 255MB Partitions lettered C: to F: Slave HD (Maxtor 850MB) 850MB gives 812-813MB formatted Primary for OS/2 Boot Manager (2MB) Extended Logical for the remainder Partitions lettered G: to J: Ok, here's the problem.... my Maxtor has 2 areas labelled "freespace" by OS/2's fdisk. Those two 1-2MB areas are unreachable, whatever I try. Apparently it's a problem all Maxtor drives have. Each area is found at each end of the disk. Nothing I've tried could correct this: OS/2's fdisk, MSDOS's one, etc.... Could this be a reason why I can't install FreeBSD ? I realize now that I haven't really explained myself.... sorry if my English is so poor, being a French Canadian, well... you know :) Let's try again. I want to install FreeBSD at the end of my second HD (the Maxtor 850MB). There's a 190MB unused just for it at the end of the drive. The problem I see is that, althought this 190MB is labelled "Unused" or "FreeSpace" by OS/2's FDisk (which I prefer over MSDOS' one), this unformatted partition is part of the Extended partiotion created a long time ago. Could this be a reason FreeBSD's FDisk reports no unused space (besides the 2 areas described above) ? Do I have to re-partition the whole drive so I'll have 2 Extended partitions, one for all my MSDOS-OS/2 stuff, the other a 190MB one for FreeBSD ? I'm not even sure it's "legal" having 2 Extended partitions. The thing I really want to avoid is having to create a 190MB PRIMARY partition for FreeBSD. The reason I want to install all non-DOS partitions at the end of my drive is to avoid "letter conflicts". Creating a Primary will switch the D letter to that partition and will mess up all other partitions... Took me a long time to customize my HDs the way I want, I wouldn't want to mess it up now for a new OS. I tried to install FreeBSD with the 190MB area unformatted (unpartitioned, that is), I also tried while it was considered a 190 Logical Partition (my so-called drive K:). Same result, FreeBSD's FDisk utility reports no free space on the drive. Hope you can help me with it, I'd really like to install this Operating System.... Oh ! Last question.... I'm supposed to buy a new Hard Disk this week, a Fujitsu 1GB HD. Will FreeBSD be able to recognize a 3 HDs system ? Thanks Ok, guess that's about it.

I now have a disk share working OK, though it requires some command-line arm-twisting for nmbd to believe that it's on the ethernet (with bogus IP addresses) as opposed to the PPP link.

Despite its ugliness (and boy is the upper case version ugly), the modular architecture and the fact that the environment is so well-defined gives the advantage of portability and flexibility. At my day job, we certainly have protocol stacks that are fast enough, can be developed mostly in user space on nice, friendly BSD systems (and Purify'd, etc...), and run unmodified in many embedded systems with (or without) a variety of operating systems. The bits can also be (and are) plugged together in all sorts of wierd and wonderful ways. For a good many people, that's pretty advantageous.

I noticed that the software "pminstall" that comes with the Portmaster doesn't have a port for FreeBSD, anyone ever port it over? If anyone has some convenient scripts (perl5 or otherwise) to share? I would subscribe to the portmaster/Radius lists but have far to much list mail coming in as it is (about 1000+ messages per day) so I am hopefully going to find a fellow FreeBSD'er to help :-) Thanks:-) Phil.

You can only have 4 of these on a drive, and if you want to use 'logical drives', one of these 4 is the 'extended partition' that holds the 'logical drives'. > Partition scheme: > > Master HD (Western Digital 425MB) 425MB formatted gives 405MB > Primary, 150MB > Extended logical, 255MB > > Partitions lettered C: to F: Ok, so you have a primary partition, and an extended partition with three 'logical drives' in it, correct? > > Slave HD (Maxtor 850MB) 850MB gives 812-813MB formatted > Primary for OS/2 Boot Manager (2MB) > Extended Logical for the remainder > > Partitions lettered G: to J: Ok, so a small primary partition, and an extended with four 'logical drives'. > I want to install FreeBSD at the end of my second HD (the Maxtor 850MB). > There's a 190MB unused just for it at the end of the drive. You won't be able to do that, as that's beyond the 500M mark, and thus is unreachable to your BIOS. > The problem I see is that, althought this 190MB is labelled "Unused" or > "FreeSpace" by OS/2's FDisk (which I prefer over MSDOS' one), this > unformatted partition is part of the Extended partiotion created a long time > ago. Could this be a reason FreeBSD's FDisk reports no unused space (besides > the 2 areas described above) ? Do I have to re-partition the whole drive so Yes. The space isn't "free", it's used by the extended partition. > The thing I really want to avoid is having to create a 190MB PRIMARY > partition for FreeBSD. The reason I want to install all non-DOS partitions > at the end of my drive is to avoid "letter conflicts". Creating a Primary This isn't an issue, as 'letter conflicts' only occur with FAT filesystems. You will have to backup the second drive, remove everything on in, install FreeBSD, then recreate your extended partition and restore into it. The FreeBSD root filesystem must be entirely below the 1024-cylinder (untranslated) mark for the bootloader to be able to read it. > Oh ! Last question....

Last summer I left a message on their support BBS asking about getting programming info for the drive and told them I wanted them to develop a FreeBSD driver for the drive, and they basically said "no way, but we will have a driver for xxx soon". "xxx" being something I had never heard of and was totally unrelated to any type of UNIX in any way. They stated that the programming interface was proprietary and they would not release it. Now, if someone can get me the programming info for this drive, I'll be more than happy to work on a driver, since I really would like to be able to use it under FreeBSD. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@minn.net "Go that way.

Thank you. In you Xf86 config file, you'll have a definition that reads something like : Monitor "Acer 33d" Subsection "Display" Depth 8 # Omit the Modes line for the "Generic VGA" device Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 # Use Virtual 320 200 for Generic VGA Virtual 1152 900 EndSubsection Note the 'virtual' keyword. This means that your desktop will be bigger than your actual screen. comment out this directive (as in : # Virtual 1152 900 and the virtual screen should stop happening) Make sure to comment the virtual directive in *all* the screen modes you are using - so that if you switch between modes using ctrl-alt-plus, no virtual screen appears.

I believe you can do that using the 2.1-RELEASE boot.flp though it might be easier (and less dangerous) to get osbs (one of these or booteasy) from the 2.1.0-RELEASE/tools dir (off memory) and write the boot from DOS/Win95 (down in Command mode, not from within a DOS window since the latter wouldn't allow you to write to disk). > > thanks very much, > > jim magnuson > > > > --Chris Christoph P.

You will recognize it as a part of the script file from the FreeBSD handbook (which wouldn't work for me as printed) - the rest from various files I have seen in the past. #!/bin/sh ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep PID=`ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'` if [ "$PID" = "" ] then pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATDT*server number here* CONNECT ""\ Name: *login name here* Password: *password here*' \ /dev/cuaa0 19200 :*my servers IP address here* fi Where 'login name here' is I have Name: - which when I make connection is what I am presented with 'login Name:' yours maybe different eg. 'login:' make suitable changes. Where 'Password' is same applies. The next script shuts pppd down: #!/bin/sh pid=`ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1;}'` if [ X${pid} !="X" ] ; then echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid} kill -TERM ${pid} fi You will note that is is only part of the script fron the handbook but it seems to work - it closes the connection, cleans up the files, and terminates the processes. I have no idea how these work but I figured that the wizards couldn't be completely wrong and I just followed their lead.

Here's the setup: 10 PCs running WINPKT and Trumpet. BSD server connected to a hub running 2.1. I can ping the PC from the server, but when I try to log in using Trumpet, I don't even get a login dialog. I am using 3 Com 3509 cards and NO NOVELL. I am using my IP address of 208.214.163 and 208.214.163.1 for the server, 208.214.163.3, 208.214.163.4 etc for the PCs Questions: 1.) Is trumpet the right product? Can I login using this and then connect out to the internet through the server? 2.) I read something about "active" and "passive" connections. I assume the server should be passive. How do I set this as the default seems to be active? Also do I need to explicitly set up static route tables with the IP addresses of the PCs? Do I need to manually implement sockets? Finally, one other issue. I want to have 2 servers on the network, one for main processing and one for email/WEB. I used an IP address of 208.214.163.2 for the second server and even though the two server are identically set up, I can't get a connection on the hub. Is this because I have set the ethernet card to be a server and you can't have 2 servers? Thanks very much...

Needless to say, I am having problems installing FreeBSD version 2.0.5. The adapter isn't found during the initial scan. Attempts to configure the port address, etc., fail. This model adapter is not on the list of supported Buslogic PCI to SCSI adapters and I suspect it is a relatively new model (has a name [Flashpoint] instead of a model number).

I agree that the standard Streams architecture can be changed to be generally more usable as other than a prototype environemnt. But in so doing, you would lose a lot of the basis for Streams as opposed to, for instance, X-kernel (where they have already done the change work). For character I/O (as Garrett points out), the overhead is much less significant than the inherent delays in character I/O because of what it is talking to (slow interfaces and slow humans). It's interesting to note that the more recent versions of Solaris have bypassed much of this and places telnetd/rlogind functionality directly in the kernel a kernel threads.

For the life of me, I cannot figure it out. I have properly? defragged my hard drive and FIPS has successfully created a second 'fat' drive of a size of my choosing. My CDROM is a Matshita CR-581 drive and is hence unsupported by the installation procedure. I then copied the entire contents of e:\dists\bin and e:\floppies to the respective directories c:\FREEBSD\BIN and c:\FREEBSD\FLOPPIES on my sole remaining DOS partition to prepare for the minimal installation. The rest of the steps in the novice installation procedure seem to proceed normally until I start writing the installation process. The beginning of the writing procedure continues normally until I reach the point where it says "Extracting bin into / directory" The message I got was "Write failure on transfer (wrote -1 bytes of 10240 bytes)" Then is says "Unable to transfer bin distribution from wd0s1", the location of my c:\ dos partition. Each time the installation has failed without writing anything. EXCEPT for once when the installation software indicated that it wrote at least 7% of bin into / directory. It then showed the message, "Write failure on transfer", again. I cannot understand what could be wrong here. I am installing FreeBSD on a Packard Bell machine with a Pentium-100MHz processor. It includes PCI Local Bus Video and a PCI Local Bus IDE Hard Drive Interface. It is running Windows 95, and I believe a DOS instalation 6.0 or greater. I admit that before running FIPS, I was unable to remove any Windows Swapfile (if it exists on Windows 95) since the help menu advised me not to tamper with the virtual memory.

Not to be rude, but go buy a book on basic TCP/IP networking and one on general system administration (O'Reilly have an excellent set of books that cover the sort of things you're asking.) What you need to do is : 1) Throw out WINPKT, uninstall TWSK, ftp to ftp.microsoft.com and get the TCP/IP for Workgroups (presuming that's what you're using). 2) Install this and get the latest WinQVT and install that. 3) Read the books you bought earlier about routing and arrange to have your network (208.214.163.*) routed to your hub. > I want to have 2 servers on the network, one for main processing and > one for email/WEB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This won't work since most BIOSs won't boot off the second IDE controller, if you're setup like you say below. You'll have to move your Toshiba to the second controller and your FreeBSD onto the primary controller.

The only time I have seen that is when certain idiots added a ton of home dirs off of the root dir [adduser remembered someone's screw-up] or when /var is mounted off of the root with a LOT of mail accounts, etc... It is always best to mount that stuff on seperate partitions.. Oops... too much tequila tonight, you already said what your allocation is.. >From the size of /home, i'll assume that you have a lot of users... where is /var? getting a lot of mail? for a lot of users? where is /tmp? lot's of trashfiles? /tmp should also have it's own partition too, otherwise you risk fragging even worse... As fas as max filesystem, it is either 63 or 64 bits in size ever since 2.0-R. In other words, nobody has to worry until bacteriorhodopsin-based storage is financially and technologically feasible.

I'll rewrite it this time... What would you suggest for managing IP assignment in a medium-sized network? UO Residence Networking is looking at a new solution for address assignment in our residence hall network. We are currently just assigning an IP to each person that signs up. Unfortunately, we're hitting some of the limitations of this program, mainly getting duplicate IP addresses even though we've been religious in our record-keeping. Which means the students are playing with the net configurations. :( We've also been looking at bootp. FreeBSD has a good bootp server, and we have a machine available to run it. We like this option, but then we have to depend on a machine running, and (correct me on this) some network cards can change their ethernet addresses. And can someone just plug in an IP address anyway and "hack" their way on the net and not solve our problem at all? As you can see, I'm pretty lost on this :) ANY help & comments would be greatly appreciated!!

I presume you have your inmates 8) hung off their own router/firewall/etc, you should insert host interface routes on this for all your unassigned IP's to an unconnected interface. For FreeBSD, you'd configure up a kernel with a tun interface, and then say : ifconfig tun0 inet 10.0.0.1 route add -host 1.2.3.4 -interface 10.0.0.1 This will effectively drop any packet for 1.2.3.4 on the floor.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have a problem which happens every few days with my news server. The machine runs freeBSD 2.1-RELEASE and has only 8 Mb of memory, yes, I know it's a triffle too little for INN ;-) (going to be replaced anyday now.) Every now and then it seems inetd doesn't so what it should do anymore, when telnetting to the machine the connection opens, but nothing else happens. This is the case with any rsh, rlogin, tin, telnet etc. The port opens, and then the connection freezes. This same machine ran this same configuration with FreeBSD 1.0, 1.1.5.1, 2.0.5 and now 2.1, and this is the first time I encounter this problem. Otherwise I'd probably never have mentioned it since the machine isn't suited to handle the load anyways. Is this a known problem with memory-tight machines ? - Rob. /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 23 09:04:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id JAA02307 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Jan 1996 09:04:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA02292 for ; Tue, 23 Jan 1996 09:04:23 -0800 (PST) Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id JAA17725; Tue, 23 Jan 1996 09:53:38 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199601231653.JAA17725@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: streams To: lists@argus.flash.net (mailing list account) Date: Tue, 23 Jan 1996 09:53:38 -0700 (MST) Cc: terry@lambert.org, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199601230551.XAA00746@argus.flash.net> from "mailing list account" at Jan 22, 96 11:51:25 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > > It's interesting to note that the more recent versions of Solaris have > > bypassed much of this and places telnetd/rlogind functionality directly > > in the kernel a kernel threads. > > With Sun's record of IGNORING CERT's and other advisories, this in itself is > yet one more reason that Sun is to be avoided on the grounds of security. > If they are not likely to change a daemon to prevent unauthorized access, I > see it as even less likely they will change the kernel in those cases... On the other hand, their kernel (unlike ours) is almost completely modular (some people have [incorrecly] called this a "microkernel"). It is very easy to replace any module in a Sun kernel.

I have a question about this problem. Should I just simply > delete some files from my root file system so I will get more inodes or I > need to do something else? Thanks in advance. Inodes are allocated on a cylinder group basis; the number of inodes you configure per cylinder group times the number of cylinder groups is your total number of inodes. The default inodes/per cylinder group trades between a large number of small files and a small number of large files. Your usage is apparently leaning toward smaller files than average. You can not reallocate the number of inodes on an exiting partition without backing it up, newfs'ing the partition, and restoring the backed up data. You may want to do this, or to delete some files. One possible temporary "hack" soloution is to delete some files, make one big file with "dd if=/dev/zero count=?? of=mybigfile", and use vnconfig to configure it as a device. Then you could newfs the device and mount it as a file system. Or you could just delte files and leave them deleted, or you could do the backup and restore (for the "/" partition, you will need to make a "fixit" floppy to run the restore, disklabel, and newfs). Because this is "/", I suspect that you didn't use a seperate "/home" and have a lot of users, or didn't use a seperate "/usr" and have a lot of installed software. > Also what is the maximum size of file system that FreeBSD v2.1 support? 2 > GB (32 bit).

The ISA interrupt decode logic (hardware) does not allow sharing of interrupts. Interrupts can be shared for specially configured EISA and PCI devices. Interrupts can be shared for master/slace multiport serial cards, but this requires some kind of card interconnect for it.

We produce backup software for many platforms and as such we need to be concerned about what happens if something breaks. Licensing with gcc is also a question. What if we write software to back up a FreeBSD machine and it gets lost due to a FreeBSD bug? How can we cover our butts in this situation? The Gcc license stipulates that for software compiled with gcc, object must be made freely available. We don't really want to do that. Plus, what happens if gcc tightens the license further? Basically I'm just curious as to how people out there handle these issues because we are getting more and more requests to support the free Unices and are currently refusing them all because of the above concerns. This is a shame because we use our product in house on FreeBSD machines and I personally am a fan and run FreeBSD at home but we can't see a way to support it commercially. I know we can purchase Motif for FreeBSD. Is there also a commercially available compiler without the licensing restraints of gcc?

This generally results from a failure to correctly negotiate binary mode; the LWP, rather than sending 'cr' instead of 'cr/lf' in binary mode, replaces the 'lf' with 'NULL', resulting in 'cr/NULL'. Most likely it is changable via a configuration option in LWP's telnet program (it used to be).

You either have too few pty's defined (and need to rebuild your kernel and run MAKEDEV), *or* you are being hit by a denial-of-service. To test the second case, restart inetd with a "-R 4000" and see if it helps the problem (inetd suts down daemons that respawn more than this number of times in a set time period -- see "man inted" for details).

Just specify your method of install as `ftp' in sysinstall, select ftp.freebsd.org (or a local mirror), input the ifconfig information as requeted, and off you go. this is the most relaible install method IMHO.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I've talked to Gary at FreeBSD Support on several occassion and he has referred me to you for these questions. My EIDE2300PLUS card support two eide drives. The first drive is a 731MB Western Digital WDC AC27 00H, my second drive is a 831MB Seagate ST5850A. Both were FDISK with this eide card and formatted as well using WIN95 format. I first installed WIN95 on drive 0 and then installed FreeBSD 2.1 on drive 1. I went through the reboot procedure and incountered a problem upon reboot. a. NO ROM BIOS SYSTEM HALTED i. fixed by booting of floppy and running fdisk to set drive active. Also copied the bootinst.* from the FreeBSD CD\tools directory. Installed the bootinst program for drive 0. b. Rebooted, Dual boot worked. Kernel started loading and stopped just after: "Boot: |" System locked up. i. made it to work by changing the eide controller to a generic ide controller. ii. Problem is that my drive 0 is an eide drive and the generic ide controller will not boot it up. I have an installation diskette that has drivers for an ATT Unix and a SCO Unix. DO either of these work with FreeBSD? I seem to remember a Solaris Unix command for copying files from floppies but these don't work with FreeBSD. Is there an equivalant command? After buying two of the manuals for BSD 4.4, I'm beginning to believe that FreeBSD is Lite and not a full system to learn on. Hope I'm wrong! This is my system: 1. 486DX2/66 Intel 2. 20 MB 70ns 30pin SIMMS 3. NiCE VLB Motherboard 256K cache 230W power supply 4. Adaptec Scsi 2 card with a NEC 841 external CDROM 5. Diamond Viper VLB 2MB video card 6. 3 1/2" Teac floppy 7. Colorado Systems Jumbo 350 Tape drive 8. US Robotics Sportster 28.8k voice/data/fax modem 9. Mag Innovision DX15F Monitor All devices are using Win95 version of drive software. I'm investigating the possibility of purchasing a 1G SCSI harddrive. BUt I need to know if this system is functionally correct with FreeBSD 2.1. Thanks for your cooperation in the matter, it has been greatly appreciated.

ReSent-Date: Tue, 23 Jan 1996 20:04:21 -0500 (EST) ReSent-From: John Fieber ReSent-To: questions@freebsd.org ReSent-Message-ID: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi - I am currently involved in a College project which involves low-level programming of PC sound cards. I read part of the FreeBSD Handbook as regards DMA, and I would like clarification on a couple of points, if possible. The DMA command registers quoted in section 18.3.5 of the Handbook for the first DMA controller are from 0x10 through 0x1e for Command/ Status register through to Write All Mask Register Bits. However, this is at variance with information given on page 212 of "The Handbook of Hardware and Software Interfacing for the IBM-PC", which gives the port numbers as 0x08 through to 0x0f for the same ports. This is supported by a brief article included in the so-called Soundblaster Freedom Project by Josh Cohen, which states, and I quote: "Disable the channel you wish to set up. If we use channel 1 we send 0x05 [=0000 0101b] to address 0x0a" (Port 10 is given as the Write a Single Mask Register Bit, so writing 0x05 to it would set the bit pertaining to channel 1). Also: "Clear the Byte Pointer...write any value to 0x0c" (0x0c is given as the Clear Byte-Pointer Flip-Flop for DMA Controller 1). The same information is also partially given in an article titled "Programming the Soundblaster 16 DSP" by Ethan Brodsky which gives 0x0a, 0x0b and 0x0c as the Write Single Mask Register, Write Mode Register and Clear Byte Pointer Flip-Flop respectively. Oddly enough, IBM's own Technical Reference for the PC-AT (Vol 1) does not give the port map for the first DMA controller, but only for the second. Might it be possible to have this message passed on to the person who compiled the DMA section in the Handbook so that either it be corrected or that I might have my query answered?

Some X programs still think that numlock is some kind of meta-key, and won't work until it's turned off. The problem was worse with 3.1, but more recent releases work better with regards to numlock.

I posted a message a couple of days ago. I recently installed Windows 95 and managed to make FreeBSD inaccessible. I got a few encouraging messages with some suggestions for how to proceed (for which I'm grateful), but nothing specific enough for this novice to succeed in restoring FreeBSD. I've searched the ftp and web sites (where I found lots of requests for help similar to mine, but, unfortunately, no replies!), and here is where I am now: I've made image copies of the boot and fixit floppies. I can boot and navigate the menus as far as putting in the fixit floppy and entering repair mode. So I have a prompt, but no idea how to proceed. The only documentation I can find for repair mode simply warns that some system administration experience is required. Could someone with sysadmin experience give me some advice? Thanks very much in advance, Jim Magnuson ps -- I don't have the CD ROM, as FreeBSD was installed on this machine when I bought it 2nd hand. I'm currently trying to decide whether to continue with FreeBSD or install Linux. Can anyone point me to a document comparing the two? Thanks again!

I must admit I can't see your problem there. You may want to support a given set of standard releases of FreeBSD, ie. you state that your software is known to work and is supported for versions a,b and c and if a user complains that it doesn't work under version d then you point them at the conspicuous message in your documentation/promo lit that points this out.

I have been having a LOT of problems getting the FreeBSD install to recognize my CR-563 Panasonic cdrom connected through my Sound Blaster 16 sound card. I read in the hardware documentation about problems with the port settings for that device in the default kernel. I tried the "set the port to -1" workaround and that did not work. My Cdrom has worked fine under Dos and OS/2 with a port setting of 0x220 for about 2 years now, but setting the matcdc driver to that address doesn't work either. Do you know of a workaround for this bug that has worked for others in this situation? Any advice on this would be really appreciated.

Now, I'm looking for a VLB EIDE card to run them. My mother board does LBA so I don't want or need the extra cost of a card that does it. So, a couple of questions. How does the Promise 2300+ (I think) work with FreeBSD? I remember seeing some problems people were having but since I didn't have a VESA motherboard, I didn't pay attention. If that's a bust, what's a GOOD VLB EIDE card that has all the I/O on it with 16550AFN UARTS?

Note that in addition to Julian's work this is due to the quality of Adaptec's sequencer code.

Netscape Commerce Server for BSDi will run under FreeBSD. This supports SSL (secure http). This costs money (A LOT of money), though there is a Server Test-Drive program currently being offered by Netscape that allows you to try it free-of-charge for X days. Look in http://home.netscape.com The Apache www server 1.0.0 supports secure http through a special "plug in" module. Currently this does NOT support any of the "officially" generated keys by RSA Inc. and other companies, though support will become available soon. Apache comes with a "fake" key generation program that will allow you to generate your own key to test things out until RSA-generated keys become available. You'll have to hunt around a bit, but you can eventually find information (and how to download) this server at Apache's web site: http://www.apache.org (or was that com? I forget...) No matter what server you get, you'll have to buy a public key from companies e.g. RSA, ViaCrypt(?), etc. These cost big bucks and must be renewed every X months. (Again, Apache comes with a "fake" key gen program that you can use in a pinch.)

Since I did it wrong the first time myself, I don't know if you want to trust my advice on the matter. :-) The _right_ way to do it is to download des.aa from ftp.cdrom.com, drop to single-user mode (shutdown command with no arguments), and unpack it from the root directory. Then reboot immediately: that's where I screwed up, and it killed my init binary somehow. Before any of this, though, you must remove the passswords for any accounts you want to get at before you start copying the old ones. chpass will let you empty the password field for users; start with root. Then after you've installed DES, you can change passwords normally with the passwd command or you can run chpass to paste in the old names from your Linux passwd file (make sure you save it!). Someone in #freebsd on iRC told me all this (except how to screw up of course) and I wish I could credit him/her, but alas I have forgotten who. _____ ______________________________ /' `\ __ | Free Kung Fu in every box! # PGP key | / .- ,) ,---, _///, """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""" coming |G _| | / //^ / jasper@3rdplanet.com soon... \ |~~| `| | /' /' http://www.3rdplanet.com/~jasper/ FIGHT THE | | | |/ / << telnet site coming soon >> CLIPPER!

I am trying to set it up as my main development computer, rather than the option of a win95 system. I think FreeBSD is a FAR superior development environment. I also just want to learn about the nuts and bolts of Unix from a sys admin perspective. I'm not a heavy duty programmer, just a dabbler really. I'de really like to get the cdrom up and running so I can start using the system properly. The "set port to -1" trick actually sets it to 0xfffffffff (0x0 minus 1, big surprize). Then the kernel reports that the device is not found at that address and doesn't seem to search anyplace else for it like the documentation says it will. Funny thing though, on boot up with the port at 0x230 the cdrom drive light DOES activate, but then the kernel still says "matcdc0 not found at 0x230". Hmmmmmmmmm......kind of frustrating eh? I've tried ports 120h,220h,320h,330h,240h,230h,260h,280h,120h,130h, ad nausium etc...

I certainly did this when converting from S5R3 to freebsd and it worked fine. I can't speak for linux but if they use "old unix" passwd encryption it should be fine. Took a 5 or 6 line awk program :-) On new freebsd installations I'm using the exportable (MD5) passwd stuff as it "seems" stronger than the DES one. -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 24 11:49:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA15340 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 24 Jan 1996 11:49:51 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailhub.cts.com (root@mailhub.cts.com [192.188.72.25]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA15323 for ; Wed, 24 Jan 1996 11:49:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from mendeltr.cts.com by mailhub.cts.com with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #20) id m0tfBBv-000V2dC; Wed, 24 Jan 96 11:49 PST Message-Id: Date: Wed, 24 Jan 96 11:49 PST X-Sender: mendeltr@mail.cts.com (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 1.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@FreeBSD.org From: mendeltr@cts.com (Mark P.

Well, seems I was wrong, you could not imagine he was importing it, without any need to have it be exported from the US for that purpose ... Sorry ... Now, we'll try again, slowly: Try to imagine, that by some wonderful inspiration some person outside the US managed to write code, that looks like DES, talks like DES, walks like DES. You got the picture ? And now he gives this code to somebody else outside the US, without it ever going through the US. You can imagine that ? This might help you understand why the people working on the security and encryption code in FreeBSD have mail adresses ending in ".za" and ".au" and why the host "ftp.internat.freebsd.org" is located in South Africa ...

You are allowed to utitilize the compiler to compile whatever you want. You *aren't* allowed to take pieces of the compiler sources and use them in another program without releasing source. The main GPL issue with GCC is use of LGPL'ed libraries. Since FreeBSD provides its own libc, this is really only a problem with some G++ class libraries. The main tenent of LGPL, if this is a problem for you, is that if you use an LGPL'ed library, you must be able to relink it. There are some issues of "code in the header files", but checking the header files before starting will generally save you from that. The main LGPL question is "does a shared library count as a relink". I think the answer is "no", since an interface change like the one BSD made in its syserrlist would prevent relink. This is because the shared library technology that's out there statically links auto initialized data into the program and exports symbols that are then used by the shared library. So to comply with the LGPL, you'd need to ship a .o file that could be relinked with the LGPL'ed libs to rebuild your app. Using "ld -R" should be enough to ensure you only need one .o file for this. This will probably be fixed in later releases by seperating the library code by segment ID in an ELF/COFF/other linker format so that the library data segement can be seperately mapped at runtime. > Basically I'm just curious as to how people out there handle these > issues because we are getting more and more requests to support the free > Unices and are currently refusing them all because of the above > concerns.

FreeBSD should be safe for most uses. Linux is a little more difficult because of the LGPL (do they have a non-LGPL'ed libc?), but you should be able to ship for both systems with no more risk than for commercial platforms, as long as you are careful about libraries, and even then, if you are willing to ship a .o file as well as a linked .exe, even LGPL libraries on Linux shouldn't be an obstacle. > I know we can purchase Motif for FreeBSD. Is there also a commercially > available compiler without the licensing restraints of gcc? There is a compiler in the ports directory. Note once again that since you are utilizing the compiler, not using the compiler sources, you shouldn't have any problems with GCC itself. Hope this clarifies things.

You will need to define a seperate structure for wire format and convert it on the way in if you wish to do this type of thing. Probably this would be a good generic thing for YP in any case; I could see wanting to put client code on a non-UNIX box at some time in the future (like Windows95 or WindowsNT), and the structure definition should be local to the YP implementation for that. This would mean a little work and some extra copying on your part; I don't know if anyone has already done this work -- I don't think so, since it would still make the hacked box unusable as a YP master or slave (as opposed to client).

That depends on whether you're using an 8-bit video mode (yes) or something deeper (no). I run 1280x1024x16bpp here, and 32M is definitely a minimum if you want to do much. > danny -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

DOS and Linux (depending on driver version) don't try to initiate fast synchronous transfers. For that reason, they don't require as good cables and terminators on the SCSI bus, and are more tolerant against (slight) configuration errors.

I have similar disk setup but with an Adaptec 2940 but I don't get an F5 offering from the BootEasy boot manager. One IDE drive, (2) SCSI drives, FreeBSD's root is on SCSI ID 0. Would the -stable release fix this? I read there are lots of 2940-related changes. As for jwb@ulysses.att.com's problem I'd guess he needs to recompile his kernel with it pointing to the proper root partition?

If a peripheral has been assigned to the 'uk0' device, that means that it is unsupported by any of the standard SCSI drivers (for disks, CD-ROMs, tapes, etc.) The only operations that can be done on uk0 devices are the standard SCSI ioctl's. If you want to get this device working under FreeBSD, you'll have to write a driver for it. :( Donald Burr [d_burr@ix.netcom.com], PO Box 91212, Santa Barbara CA 93190-1212 TEL (805)564-1871 / FAX 564-2315 / WWW http://www.geopages.com/WallStreet/2072 PGP Public Key available by request (send e-mail) or on Public Key Servers. ** Uphold your right to privacy - Use PGP. ** From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 24 23:57:05 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA21561 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 24 Jan 1996 23:57:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from beeblebrox.pccc.jyu.fi (beeblebrox.pccc.jyu.fi [130.234.41.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA21545 for ; Wed, 24 Jan 1996 23:57:00 -0800 (PST) Received: (from kallio@localhost) by beeblebrox.pccc.jyu.fi (8.6.12/8.6.12) id JAA01233; Thu, 25 Jan 1996 09:56:20 +0200 Date: Thu, 25 Jan 1996 09:56:19 +0200 (EET) From: Seppo Kallio To: Morini Stefano cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: passwd linux and FreeBSD In-Reply-To: <31063A80.41C6@pt.tizeta.it> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 24 Jan 1996, Morini Stefano wrote: > -- > Morini Stefano > > On my System I have 200 user account on linux system.

Legal DES is eurocrypt (ftp.funet.fi /pub/unix/FreeBSD ... ) It goes something like this (if you can use emacs) 1. copy linux /etc/passwd to FreeBSD system 2. setenv EDITOR emacs 3. vipw 4. esc > (that is: go to the end of passwd file) 5. C-x i (that is: read the linux passwd file to the end of FreeBSD passwd file) 6. Make a little keyboard macro and add the extra ::0:0 after group id to every linux passwd file line. Something like: C-x ( C-a esc 3 esc x search-forward : ret ::0:0 C-n C-x ) esc 200 C-x e 7. Delete root etc. from linux passwd lines (duplicates) 8. exit vipw (that is: C-x C-c y) If emacs is strange to you: 1. Edit the estra ::0:0 into linux passwd file somehow to every line and delete root etc. duplicate lines. 2. Goto vipw and add the modified linux passwd file to the end of FreeBSD passwd file 3.

I don't know if it might be a problem that you disbled the IDE drives during installation. The installation gives you the choice which drive you want to install on so there is no need to disable the IDE drives (but you you might want to use the latest boot.flp since the original install messed with the bootblock of the 0 drive number when installing on a different one - so disabling the drives was a matter of instinct with you :)) I would suggest to repeat the installation with all controllers enabled - if the install messes with your IDE bootrecord, re-install it later. > > When I loaded booteasy17, it load ok on the ide and scsi, but didn't > seem to recognize the scsi in the ide bootmanager.

Last night before I left work I started a freebsd 2.1.0 install. I selected an X user install. When I came in this morning, all the packages bar a couple had been fetched and the system had started asking me further config questions. However, in the middle of the process the X system tried to start and hung the system during the X -probeonly. I had to reset and then the system booted but with none of the config info I had entered, ie no network card, no host name, etc etc. What can I do to rectify this? I've tried usimg the config after install option on the boot disk, but it does not write anything to disk. Will I have to go through everything manually? I have manually edited the /etc/sysconfig file, but the system complains about demo1.pcm.co.za (hostname I manually put into sysconfig) does not exist.

If I disable the probing by the -c switch and 'disable iso0', then all is fine. It is only the video that dies, the boot process finishes normally. I don't see anything on screen but I can login and ask for a reboot and if I don't probe the iso0 then everything works fine ??? I am at a loss to see a connection between probing the serial channel and my video card. If it means anything, this machine is a PCI pentium with 16 Meg. The video card has 2 Meg and a Mach64 chip.

Type 0? I haven't heard those terms before. What do you mean? He means there is a jumper to tell the system that it is an ordinary hard disk, and you should use it. If you have jumper documentation, you might also try type 3, but that will probably be only marginally useful. The problem with type 0 is that it won't do door locking and/or eject protection. 8-(.

Kelley" Subject: FDISK /MBR problems resolved Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, SHORT VERSION ------------- Problem: FDISK /MBR wouldn't work; returned with "no fixed disks installed" Other info: FBSD-installed boot manager didn't recognize FBSD boot disk. ATAPI CDROM drive set as slave on primary IDE for fbsd installation. FBSD installed on separate hard drive Solution: Place 2 DOS drives on primary IDE, FBSD drive and ATAPI CDROM drive on secondary IDE. Result: FDISK /MBR rewrote the dos master boot record onto dos drive C: DETAILED VERSION ---------------- I'm writing to let people know how I resolved a problem with FDISK /MBR after FreeBSD 2.1R installation. In order to install FBSD 2.1 from an ATAPI CDROM drive, I had to move my CD from it's slave position on the secondary IDE to the slave position on the primary IDE. This was necessary because the ATAPI boot floppy for the installation only recognizes these CDROM drives as the slave on the primary IDE. After installing fbsd, I compiled a custom kernel to recognize the ATAPI CDROM in this position. FreeBSD recognized my CDROM drive no problem after this. I chose to install the boot manager during the novice installation. However, upon boot up of the machine, the boot manager did not give me an option to boot to the FreeBSD drive. Taking the easy way out, I chose to try to use FDISK /MBR under dos to restore the master boot record so that I wasn't presented with the boot manager that came with freebsd, since it didn't work for me anyway. Unfortunately, FDISK /MBR returned immediately with the message: "no fixed disks present". Obviously, that wasn't the case since I booted from the dos hard drive C: in order to try to run FDISK in the first place. Anyway, here's what I did that allowed FDISK to recognize my disks. I moved the ATAPI CDROM back to the slave position on the secondary IDE, moved the second DOS hard drive (drive D:) to the slave position on the primary IDE, and left the DOS boot hard drive (drive C:) as master on the primary IDE and the FreeBSD hard disk as master on the secondary IDE. Once these changes were made, FDISK recognized my dos drives and I was able to run FDISK /MBR to restore the dos master boot record. In order to make fbsd recognize my ATAPI CDROM, I had to compile a custom kernel that looked for the CDROM drive attached to the secondary IDE. What follows is my old setup where FDISK did not work, and my new setup where FDISK does work.

Your video card is (illegally) using the 2e8 range ports, which is where Com3 lives. If you explicitly disable the probe for com3 (see the -hackers list archive on www.freebsd.org), then the problem will go away.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I've been unsuccessful at getting 2.1 to install on my machine. Here's the setup: IDE master: 1.0GB Seagate. 2 partitions: DOS primary on 1st half and fbsd on 2nd half. IDE slave: Hitachi 4x ATAPI cd-rom. The atapi.flp disk recognizes the cdrom: it spits out the following 2 lines on boot: wcd0: Hitachi atapi (something or other) 657MB (more junk) wcd0: medium type unknown, unlocked the install doesn't see the CDROM as a valid distribution medium. Next try: install off a DOS partition. So I mkdir c:\freebsd and put the floppies and the bin subdirs in there. Go to install, and select DOS partition as medium. No problems there, but when I commit changes, it goes through and installs a bunch of the bin stuff and then kicks back, giving an error like "gunzip: crc error". This kills the pipe to cpio or whatever was doing the installing, and the install fails. From DOS, I checked the integrity of the bin fines. gzip -t gives no errors. BTW: Walnut Creek has either apparently had some calls about this already or hires psychics; the guy who answered the phone knew the problem before I told him what it was. No solution, since they've not been able to reproduce it. Final try: install the bindist from 15 floppies (ugh), boot, mount the primary DOS partition, and run sysinstall using "existing filesystem" as a medium to try to get the manpages. Talk about messy. Mounting returns some warning like "root fs not at cylinder 0". The fs mounts anyway. Any access to that mounted fs results in system instability (shared libs failing, permission denied [even as root] for commands like cp) and ultimately a crash. Here's the catch: I used FIPS to partition my HD. Could this be the culprit? I'd like to accomplish one (or both!) of the following things: 1) get FreeBSD installed using either my CD-ROM or the DOS partition. 2) be able to mount my DOS primary filesystem. I don't have any additional hardware that I can use, and I can't trash the DOS partition, as some people around here still like windows (this is an attempt to show them the value of UNIX, and it's failing...). Any help would be appreciated.

This means that something else is using i/o base 0x300. ed1 is the second ethernet card, which I doubt you're using. You should probably boot up with the -c option to Boot:, remove the extraneous devices and make sure that everything else is configured correctly.

Can't boot from DOS diskette or BSD diskette. Seems tha > the attempeted installation has done some damage to my hardware. A couple of hypotheses: 1) your CMOS got corrupted somehow. Might check that your disk(s) are still defined correctly. 2) During the install the partition `active' flag gets reset to the FreeBSD partition. Consequently, if you try to boot normally (with FreeBSD on a second disk), you'll get "NO ROM BASIC, SYSTEM HALTED" or "Missing Operating System". In your case, your BIOS has no idea so it halts, is my guess. Try booting with a DOS boot disk and run FDISK and reset your DOS partition back to `active'. It's unusual that you can't even boot from a floppy. Hm....sounds like CMOS corruption to me.

I am trying to build a new FreeBSD 2.0 kernel on a Gateway 2000 P5-120 tower. It has a WD 1GB drive as wd0, a Mitsumi 4x CD-ROM on a secondary IDE controller (which doesn't get recognised by the kernel) and a 1GB disk and 4x CD-ROM on an Adaptec 1542CP SCSI controller. The only changes I've made to the GENERIC config file are (a) Change the "ident" argument to the name of my host "ident GENERIC" to "ident SAURON". (b) Change the "driver ed1" IRQ to 9 and remove the "ioaddr xxxx" argument, as it's an NE2000 and doesn't have on-board RAM. The kernel build goes fine - no problems. I move the new kernel to the root and reboot. Then I get: Boot: /kernel Invalid format! I can boot from /kernel.old fine. Does anyone know why this kernel can't load. By the way, this is a fresh installation onto this disk and I've installed and rebuilt FreeBSD 2.0 on other machines with absolutely no problems. Is my machine sick?

It is customary to _not_ sync from a stratum 1 server unless a large number of other machines are syncing from you, and then to get permission. It is also generally polite to get permission / inform stratum 2 servers if you plan to use them. Also, if you are just using ntpdate to sync, and not xntpd, using a stratum 1 server is kinda silly. Find a few nice stratum 2 and 3 servers and sync from them. A nice list can be found at ftp.udel.edu somewhere in /pub/ntp -- it might be in the xntpd distribution itself. Lots of nice stratum 2 servers to sync to. -Craig From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 25 18:31:50 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id SAA27224 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 25 Jan 1996 18:31:50 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost.cdrom.com (localhost.cdrom.com [127.0.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id SAA27219 Thu, 25 Jan 1996 18:31:48 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199601260231.SAA27219@freefall.freebsd.org> X-Authentication-Warning: freefall.freebsd.org: Host localhost.cdrom.com [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: Fred Gilham cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Change in kernel from 2.1 on CD to FreeBSD-stable In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 25 Jan 1996 08:59:38 PST." <199601251659.IAA14720@lily.csl.sri.com> Date: Thu, 25 Jan 1996 18:31:48 -0800 From: "Justin T.

The change was made so that PCI devices that have an ISA compatibility mode would be found by the "safer" PCI probe first. We're still looking into the ramifications of this change (it wasn't expected to cause any problems), but if a solution to the types of problems you're seeing cannot be found, the change will be reverted.

If your mouse goes out of the window onto, say, the root window, your window stays focused. This also applies to putting your mouse on a non-input sort of thing like xclock, I believe. One other thing I believe you can have (but haven't seen) is icons in the click-to-pull-down menus. I think. Drawbacks? The sucker is HUGE.

I have 4 browsers for X that I use, and got them in this order: chimera, NCSA Mosaic 2.6, Netscape Navigator, and Arena. I've notice that Netscape doesn't show images cleanly on my 8bpp setup, but Mosaic and chimera do (don't use Arena much except to validate HTML). Since the images in Netscape seem to look like images tend to in xv when I'm in 24 bit mode, I'm pretty sure it's the palatte being used. I have moral problems with Netscape anyway: pages that require Netscape for viewing properly are a slap in the face of the standards and people who can't afford to buy the browser. As you can guess, I only use the betas for the trial period, and even then only when I need to get at something bad enough to bury the hatchet... even then I flame the maintainer for shutting out those with principles. _____ ______________________________ /' `\ __ | Free Kung Fu in every box! # PGP key | / .- ,) ,---, _///, """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""" coming |G _| | / //^ / jasper@3rdplanet.com soon... \ |~~| `| | /' /' http://www.3rdplanet.com/~jasper/ FIGHT THE | | | |/ / << telnet site coming soon >> CLIPPER!

The method described on pg 10 is accurate to less than 100ns, this is utilizing GPS... this is pure assumption based on the fact that the Cesium Primary Standards in use at the USNO are tracable to NIST, and that NIST uses the GPS method as described to sync the Primary standards at WWV, WWVB, and WWVH. Since all three sites are using NIST tracable Cesium Primary Standards, I guess that would make all three sites stratum 1 servers... sorry folx...

I setup the getty and it seems to be working okay as I'm getting a login: prompt and after logging on a ppp session is starting. Initially, it wasn't working and I thought the problem was DNS related, but it was a GATEWAY problem. I added options "GATEWAY" to my kernel and did a recompile and it seems to work fine now. now my problem is netscape has a bug where it automatically disconnects after a couple of minutes - even if I select 15 min of inactivity or don't disconnect. But it works great for the 2 minutes I have it working! :)) After a disconnect, the port is hung and a kill command won't remove the processes associated with the previously disconnected ppp session.

Thank you. Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk >>>>> "Gary" == Gary Kline writes: Gary> On a tantential subject, has anyone played around with Gary> ``ctwm''? Yep. It's a lot like fvwm. In several respects, it's better. For example, it does allow left/center/right title justification and shaped window titles (fvwm2 allows this, though). It also lets you have pixmaps for various buttons---you can really fool some people into thinking they're on a Windows 95 box. It gives you multiple workspaces with large virtual desktops in each one, like fvwm. It even lets you drop windows into the workspace/virtual desktop panner box like tvtwm---a nice feature that fvwm doesn't have. But I chose fvwm over ctwm since it lets me bump the cursor to the edge of the screen to either page-flip or scroll to other parts of the virtual desktop.

Who's used swm? vtwm? 9wm? -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA The people in the village were real poor, so none of the children had any toys. But this one little boy had gotten an old enema bag and filled it with rocks, and he would go around and whap the other children across the face with it. Man, I think my heart almost broke. Later the boy came up and offered to give me the toy. This was too much! I reached out my hand, but then he ran away. I chased him down and took the enema bag. He cried a little, but that's the way of these people. -- Jack Handey From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 26 07:05:11 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id HAA07689 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 26 Jan 1996 07:05:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from MARENGO.BBN.COM (MARENGO.BBN.COM [128.89.6.82]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA07659 Fri, 26 Jan 1996 07:04:56 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199601261504.HAA07659@freefall.freebsd.org> Date: Fri, 26 Jan 96 9:54:49 EST From: Tom Calderwood To: questions@freebsd.org, hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Thinkpads anyone?

If you include any of the GNU libraries, you have to give them away, along with some way to rebuild your program with (supposedly fixed) libraries. Moral of the story: used the FreeBSD libraries, and leave the GNU routines out of your commercial code. > Basically I'm just curious as to how people out there handle these > issues because we are getting more and more requests to support the > free Unices and are currently refusing them all because of the > above concerns.

Go back and read the licensing information that comes with GCC. You'll see that your licensing concerns are unfounded. As for the supportability issue, I've never bought software that came with any kind of warranty; the best is the Borland license. Plagarize it -- Phillipe wants you to! ;^) -- I'd rather be sailing.

But....I'm not sure that I want to hassle with changing the dot files. X User Tools (from O'Reilly) is an excellent, readable reference. Among other things, it discusses all these window managers, their use and configuration. Per that and brief experimentation, I believe ctwm is "a better twm" but probably not so nice as fvwm. fvwm also offers memory optimization.

Any ideas? I assume that you've checked with ps and the audio server starts up and is still there when you try to use it? Then, try setting (in your shell environment) AUDIOSERVER to be the same as DISPLAY, and see if that works.

I think. You could have that before. There was one bug in the call to instantiate them that kept them from working more than one menu deep. The bug is obvious (a function is called with one too few parameters) when you lint the thing. Personally, I prefer fvwm, but then I think CDE is a standard and fvwm is the closest thing to a non-commercial mwm.

The inaccuracy on pg 10 is due to pseudo-random "jitter" in the GPS signal. The Navy, being a branch of the US military, has access to the generator and key pair and so GPS is significantly more accurate for them (many airports in the US are generating adjustment base references for GPS based on known lattitude/longitude positions of the adjusting signal source to defeat this intentional inaccuracy in the GPS position fixing for non-military grade GPS). The Navy's clocks are probably accurate to much better than 100ns if they are using military grade GPS.

Looks like the xf86config script hung. :) If you want to try that again, just run xf86config, that will get you back to configuring X.

Either do it in sysconfig or you can temporarily get it upusing ifconfig.

I was able to install the minimal system (44MB) from floppy with the help of the root floppy image I created using rawrite.exe. I have yet to install the system from my DOS partition. Either I have seriosly fudged the installation process (unlikely since I followed the instructions religiously) or there in a bug in the installation floppy when the installation medium is an MSDOS partition. I suspect the latter. It seems that FreeBSD either cannot find the root.flp image which I put into c:\freebsd\floppies from e:\floppies or it cannot find the contents of c:\freebsd\bin which is where I put the contents of e:\dists\bin. Perhaps there is a discrepancy between the installation manual's described path for the bin.* files or the root.flp image, and the installation program's actaual path for looking for these files. I would appreciate a reply. You can reference my Monday, 22-JAN-96 message sent to questions@FreeBSD.org. Thank You, J.

This spacial model is so intuitive, it hurts! Ouch! It annoys the hell out of me so I turn it off. One thing ctwm has going for it is the ability to have a window appear in multiple workspaces (like VUE that inspired it). Unless I missed something, fvwm only allows a single worspace or all workspaces (sticky). Oh, and ctwm can manage non-root windows. This allows you to run a test copy in a window to play with configurations, while another window manager (or a stable ctwm configuration) manages everything outside. Not in the killer-feature class, but nifty regardless.

It has to read the configuration files, open any logfiles it has, then grab the port, etc, each time it gets hit under inetd. When running standalone, it opens the logs, and memorizes the config files. It's amazingly more efficient. Some people don't like the thought of letting it run standalone for security reasons, but it's a much happier server if you do. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.

How do I resolve this problem? Did you install the 'X11 Developer' install kit when you installed FreeBSD and/or XFree86? If not, you didn't get all the neat little tools, include files, and libraries you need to be an X11 developer. Repeat after me: Disk space is cheap, X is good... ;^) -- I'd rather be sailing.

I just installed Netscape for Linux, because I want to play around with Java stuff. BUT, Netscape CANNOT access the DNS server, ergo it's always returning errors like "home.netscape.com host unknown", etc. I have a proper host.conf and resolv.conf file in /compat/linux/etc. I EVEN HAVE TRIED MOVING THESE INTO /etc. But no success. What's going wrong here? can someone help me out with getting this running? I'm losing my mind!!! On a side note, according to the available doc's on the Linux-emu, whenever a Linux [program or library tries to access a file, the Linux-emu is supposed to add "/compat/linux" to it, i.e. if the program asks for "/etc/hosts", the it actually accesses "/compat/linux/etc/hosts". This DOES NOT seem to be the case, though, because even though I put a Linux-style host.conf in /compat/linux/etc/host.conf, the Linux resolv+ library always says "invalid keyword hosts" (meaning it's referring to the FreeBSD /etc/host.conf file!).

IDE drive 1 has 3 partitions. Both SCSIs are single partition. I ran Linux 1.1.59 (with X11R6) successfully in roughly this configuration (except I had two additonal partitions on that drive for swap), using the Linux SCSI kernel, before I learned of FreeBSD.

I was system administrator for a small HP9000/300 cluster running HP-UX 7.0, so instructions need to be 'dumbed-down' for someone who doesn't remember, rather than for one who has always though UNIX has something to do with a harem. Thanks, Alan M.

Metcalf > Hmm, weird. I've done this lots of times (well, half a dozen, anyway) without any particular problems. Your debugging messages suggest one of two things to me - 1. the files are corrupted (unlikely, unless they've been ftp'd in ASCII at some point) 2. the DOS partition isn't being found for some reason. I've always used this in simple environments (no more than 2 partitions, first for FAT, second for FreeBSD). According to your messages it looks like the install believes that the FAT partition is 'wd0s1'. You could make sure of this in the fdisk / disklabel windows during installation. As a knee-jerk reaction I always tell disklabel to mount the FAT partition on '/dos'. I don't think this makes a difference, but your experience is strange. Beyond my rather shallow observations, I think you're going to need to give the real gurus a lot more information on your machine (maker, IDE/EIDE controller), the procedure you went through to copy over the distributions, the exact geometry you divided the disk into, whether you used FIPS or FDISK, and the exact sequence of steps you took during the installation.

Hopefully these are simple.. First. On a few occasions, users on our system are still logged on to a port (ttyp,etc) but own no processes on the system. They are also still on the wholist. Could anyone explain why this might be, how to correct it, and possibly how to prevent it? The next question deals with getting a LF into a variable. In a script like #!/bin/sh myvar=$(cat file) echo "$myvar" this will echo the file with all of the original LFs. Well, I'd like to get a variable to do the same thing. I would like to get a series of stdouts from an awk into the variable, inserting an LF between each. I've tried printf in the middle, but that hasn't worked. Any hints on a solution?

If at all possible, wind your motherboard waitstate settings right out to the maximum. If the problem persists, you'll have to replace various bits until you find the culprit. You may also want to try disabling caching (both in the processor and on the board) if you can, as this problem can also be caused by faulty cache hardware. > If I try to mount my primary partition FAT on second scsi drive sd1s1 it > writes : > > Mountmsdofs() : root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in lenght > > > The HD is mounted and seems to work, but what's happened ... ? > (it is a 2gb HD scsi by quantum....) You used fips to shrink your DOS partition prior to installing, and you caused it to move from one clustersize range to another. _DANGER_. This is believed to be a trigger to a _nasty_ bug in the msdosfs code that can silently corrupt your BSD partition. Avoid using the msdosfs whenever possible. > __/// Gianmarco -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

Some more information in a useable form would be nice. Is this a PCI system? If it is, and there are options on the BIOS to disable "IDE readahead" or "IDE prefetch" or anything fancy to do with IDE, turn them off. It looks like something bad is happening to the bootstrap process that loads the kernel, and if the HD light stays on and there are no error messages, it looks like a hardware interaction problem. > Alan M.

I'm losing my mind!!! You need a resolv+ host.conf in /compat/linux/etc, and you need to set the environment variable RESOLV_HOST_CONF to point to it. Put a single line in it that says "order bind,hosts" > On a side note, according to the available doc's on the Linux-emu, > whenever a Linux [program or library tries to access a file, the > Linux-emu is supposed to add "/compat/linux" to it, i.e. if the program > asks for "/etc/hosts", the it actually accesses > "/compat/linux/etc/hosts".

What gives here? The emulator prepends "/compat/linux" when searching for executables and shared libraries. It wouldn't make any sense to do this for normal files; stop and _think_ about it for a second. > Donald Burr [d_burr@ix.netcom.com], PO Box 91212, Santa Barbara CA 93190-1212 -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

I have a P5-90 with 24 MB of RAM and windows 95. I have three hard drives: a Quantum 540 MB is the C drive, and two WD 1.2 GB drives, D and E. I have made a 512 MB dos partition on E and am using the rest of E as my space for freeBSD. When I re-start the computer now, the computer finds the keyboard and hard drives just fine, but then will not proceed with loading the OS unless it is from floppy. If there is no floppy, it just sits there with the floppy drive light on. Perhaps the boot manager did not get loaded properly? Any ideas, suggestions, solutions? I am at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hiya Keith :) believe it or not, I've done this before as well :) (well... I changed roots shell to a csh, and really typed chs :( There are two soultions I can think of.. 1) If you have created yourself a regular unix account other than the root one already, log into it and type 'su -m' and then the root password (this assumes that account is in group wheel) 2) if the above is impossible, your root filesystem should be mounted rw not ro by a -s reboot (but your other filesystems will not be mounted. type 'mount -a' after rebooting to single user to get all your filesystems on line, and then type 'chfn' - this should allow you to change roots shell to the proper path (which is : /usr/local/bin/bash). If you have any trouble with this, mail me :) Tony -- <+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+> || Tony Harverson | Go not softly into that gentle MS Night, || || Unix Admin | Rage, Rage against the dying of the UNIX Light || || Internet Support |+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+|| || Person | Since when was Windows an *operating* System ? || <+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+> From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jan 27 23:25:22 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id XAA29701 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 27 Jan 1996 23:25:22 -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 XAA29696 for ; Sat, 27 Jan 1996 23:25:15 -0800 (PST) Received: (from tony@localhost) by hornet.netac.co.za (8.6.12/8.6.12) id JAA04715 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 28 Jan 1996 09:27:05 +0200 From: Tony Harverson Message-Id: <199601280727.JAA04715@hornet.netac.co.za> Subject: NextGen Processors ?
