Anyhow, the drive is detected on bootup: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 696MB (1427328 sectors), 1416 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): , removable, accel, dma, iordy wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): wd2: 1916MB (3924144 sectors), 3893 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S And accessing the drive works fine. I managed to fdisk it and disklabel it for FreeBSD. However, the problem comes when I try to access both interfaces (i.e. the cdrom and the new 2gig hd, or my old 730meg hd and the new 2 gig hd) at once, at which point the computer simply freezes completely. Obviously this makes this setup totally unusuable. Has anyone seen this before?? Any way to avoid this? Any suggestions whatsoever? I've been banging my head over this for weeks now.

Oh, what I tried to say was that we tried _everything_ to make Tyan TomcatI motherboard to be happy with memory more than 64MB. > However, have you tested the memory by itself to make sure you don't > have a bad chip? Yes, we did; I replaced one bad SIMM. Actually we solved the problem already, and the solution is fairly simple (but not terribly obvious). I got those 8 16MB EDO RAMs from two different places: Fry's and Chip Merchant. Fry's get their chips from different suppliers, while Chip Merchant get theirs only from one place. As soon as we put Fry's RAM in lower banks and Chip Merchant's in the higher banks, bingo, it started working! The lesson we learned is: try to get all your memory made from the same factory if you try to build a system with more than 64MB RAM.

They may be _buying_ all thier memory from the same memory broker, but it comes from all over the place. Just taking a sample of my last 5 orders of 32MB, 8MBx36-60nS FPM 24 chip modules I show these manufactures: LGS on 3rd party LGS with MT parity on Liteon OKI on 3rd party OKI on 3rd party SEC on 3rd party You have a very slim chance of getting the same memory 2 orders in a row from the Chip Merchant, and realize I am a manufacturer who is order in volume once or twice a week. (Okay, so now all your folks know where AAC gets good memory from :-)). > > The lesson we learned is: try to get all your memory made from the same > factory if you try to build a system with more than 64MB RAM. Let me guess that some of this EDO memory is made by someone other than Micron, yea, let me see if I can put my finger on it... could it possibly be Siemens? If so be wary, there is a huge batch of these chips floating around that appear to be marginal. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 15 04:50:20 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id EAA16886 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 04:50:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from diablo.ppp.de (diablo.ppp.de [193.141.101.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id EAA16881 for ; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 04:50:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from allegro.lemis.de by diablo.ppp.de with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #1) id m0v2FiG-000QiyC; Sun, 15 Sep 96 13:50 MET DST From: grog@lemis.de (Greg Lehey) Organisation: LEMIS, Schellnhausen 2, 36325 Feldatal, Germany Phone: +49-6637-919123 Fax: +49-6637-919122 Received: (grog@localhost) by allegro.lemis.de (8.6.9/8.6.9) id MAA00375; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 12:55:38 +0200 Message-Id: <199609151055.MAA00375@allegro.lemis.de> Subject: Re: Free Memory To: woowoo@mark.petra.ac.id (wOOwOO) Date: Sun, 15 Sep 1996 12:55:38 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: from "wOOwOO" at Sep 14, 96 01:38:03 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk wOOwOO writes: > > What is similiar commands 'free' (linux) in FreeBSD ? > to see memory usage ...

I hate them, but they were cheep...): a Seagate 2gig hard drive. a 8x CD-ROM and a Conner 800Mb Hard disk. The two gig is IDE DEVICE 0. It is filled with my DOS stuff, so I added the 800Mb one for Free BSD. After tinkering around with it, I discovered that the only way the insalation program would probe my CD-ROM was it I had it as a slave on the first IDE port, so that became IDE DEVICE 1. That leaves the Conner, which I've tried as both IDE DEVICE 2 and 3. The installation seems to run fine. It probes all the drives, sees them all. It works fine. I set up a slice on the 800Mb drive and use the correct geometry. I have FreeBSD auto-generate the lables, select the "X-User" distribution, and then commit. After installation is finishe, I reboot the machine and wait for Booteasy. I the hit F5 to switc to the other drive (the 800Mb one) and hit F1 for BSD. It then gives me a boot: prompt and I hit enter to use the defaults. It probes and finds all my drives. Then it says something like "switching root system to WD1a" and the line after that says: PANIC!: unable to mount root. It then auto-reboots the machine in 15 seconds. If I install on to IDE DEVICE 0 (the first hard drive that dos calls C: ) everything seems to work fine. It is supposed to be possable to run BSD from a second drive, isn't it?

Could someone please illustrate this example a little?? :) Thanks Randy From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 15 13:04:54 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA10960 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 13:04:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dude.cyberbeach.net (dude.cyberbeach.net [205.150.79.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA10951 for ; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 13:04:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sail ([207.176.149.24]) by dude.cyberbeach.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id QAA12374 for ; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 16:05:02 -0400 Message-Id: <1.5.4.32.19960916080543.008ca298@post.cyberbeach.net> X-Sender: kurt@post.cyberbeach.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.4 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 04:05:43 -0400 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: Kurt Schafer Subject: Strange problem (2.1.5) networking:continued Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I don't know if this is relevant at all, but running TCPBLAST on the machines (I'm the victim of the weird network behavior BTW) yields these results. tcpblast 17 comes back in about 5 msec tcpblast 18 comes back in 150+ msec tcpblast 19 HALTS. never returns. This from the 2 machines running 2.1.5, on the machine running 2.1, there is a big jump in the msec times as noted above, but connectivity doesn't halt. I did a 1024 block and it went through. Luckilly, I'm not missing any functionality that I can think of moving from 2.1.5 back down to 2.1. But this is definately weird. WinNT servers on the same network are performing the same BTW. Virtual WWW sites halt at the 'Host contacted, waiting for reply' stage. I'm going to wipe one of the 2.1.5 machines and redo a 2.1 installation from scratch. Should the system work, I will report to the list.

I think tcsh (and csh in a pinch) makes a perfectly fine interactive shell but sh isn't as nicely suited for interactivity. Likewise, csh/tcsh is a terrible scripting shell; but sh is great for scripts. Be sure to read "Csh programming considered harmful" at: http://www.cs.ruu.nl/wais/html/na-faq/unix-faq-shell-csh-whynot.html So, my login shell is /usr/local/bin/tcsh. But all the scripts I write are /bin/sh scripts (plus a bunch of tcl and perl scripts for good measure). Take care. --k From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 15 14:31:22 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA15341 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 14:31:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from emory.mathcs.emory.edu (uucp@emory.mathcs.emory.edu [199.76.28.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA15329 for ; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 14:31:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: by emory.mathcs.emory.edu (5.65/Emory_mathcs.4.0.22) via UUCP id AA20538 ; Sun, 15 Sep 96 17:30:49 -0400 Received: from localhost (jan@localhost) by bagend.atl.ga.us (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id RAA09606 for ; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 17:30:40 -0400 Message-Id: <199609152130.RAA09606@bagend.atl.ga.us> To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: checksum mismatch for ssh on 2.1.5 cd ?

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"**). In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. Nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. 4. Please don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 5. Please specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 6. If you don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for this activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it.

Type, as root, cd /dev ./MAKEDEV ttyd2 ttyd3 cuaa2 cuaa3 to get the serial ports. The ethernet card doesn't have an entry in /dev. Use the /usr/sbin/ifconfig command instead to configure it.

If you downloaded the original source distribution of Apache, you should have a subdirectory named apache-1.1.1 (or similar) with files README or INSTALL or the like. Read them for instructions. If you downloaded the FreeBSD package of Apache (for example, from ftp.freebsd.org under the directory /pub/FreeBSD), instead don't use tar to extract the contents.

Currently, no DOS emulator for FreeBSD is complete enough for Duke3D or Doom. However, the Linux version of Doom for X Windows will work with FreeBSD 2.1.5's Linux emulator. Although I'm not sure what your level of expertise is, I still recommend the book ``Unix System Administration'' by Evi Nemeth and others, available at better bookstores. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 15 20:51:50 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA07659 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 20:51:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from notendur.isholf.is (notendur.isholf.is [194.105.226.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA07652; Sun, 15 Sep 1996 20:51:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from hummer.islandia.is by notendur.isholf.is with ESMTP (8.7.1/1.2-eef) id DAA15719; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 03:48:44 GMT Received: from caliber by hummer.islandia.is (8.7.5/ISnet/12-09-94); Mon, 16 Sep 1996 03:50:12 GMT Message-Id: <3.0b11.32.19960916034918.008f1100@islandia.is> X-Sender: gestur@islandia.is X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0b11 (32) Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 03:49:18 +0000 To: questions@freebsd.org, hardware@freebsd.org From: "Gestur A.

Can you drp into the debugger when it hangs? If so, what does the output of "ps" in the debugger tell you? Whe you say that it reboots, do you know the machine experienced a panic and then simply timed out and rebooted or if the machine simply spontaneously rebooted? If its panicing, that will most likely point right to the problem. Are you running a custom kernel with all unnecessary devices stripped out? Have you tried swapping ram? -- Justin T.

I can mount these systems normally with mount. Ok, so I'll assume that you already have the correct entry in /etc/exports on egyptian. If you want to mount the remote filesystem at boot time, you need to add an entry in arabian's /etc/fstab, such as: /data egyptian:/data rw,nosuid ^^-- list of options here might vary, check mount man page. The drawback with that kind of setup is that if for some reason egyptian is down when arabian is booted, the boot will hang (I think) for quite some time when trying to do the mount. My version of FreeBSD (2.1-stable) doesn't seem to support the "bg" (retry mount in background) option which might be supported in later releases. Check the documentation for mount and mount_nfs. That's what automount (and amd) are for. Well, one of the reasons anyway. > Furthermor > e, > I don't know if I'm supposed to replace mountd with amd, or if amd requires moun > td. No. Amd doesn't replace mountd. Amd like mount are on the "client" side of things whereas mountd is on the "server" side (it gets the mount requests from clients -- those requests precisely are issued by mount and amd). You need to run mountd on any machine that exports filesystems, not on clients. > (I have enabled amd in /etc/sysconfig) Do I need amd running on both machines > or just one?? You need to run amd only on the client machine (arabian). > > Could someone please illustrate this example a little?? :) > > Now that's the most difficult part. What you want to do looks to me like what would be achieved (when using the "standard" automount) through the use of a direct automount map (automount is what is found on most commercial Unix systems... amd is its free counterpart). Although they are supposed to be supported, I have never managed to make direct maps work using amd. Besides this, I would not make a direct map for a mount point in the root directory. You didn't specify where you wanted egyptian:/data mounted on arabian, so I assumed you wanted it in /data as well. I suggest the following simple setup: 1) put the following in /etc/sysconfig: amdflags="-l syslog /Net /etc/amd.net.map" 2) edit /etc/amd.net.map as follows: /defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root/;rhost:=${key} * host!=${key};opts:=rw,nosuid; \ host==${key};type:=link;fs:=/; 3) make /data a link to /Net/egyptian/data cd / ln -s /Net/egyptian/data data Before I get flamed: I know that this oversimplified setup is far from perfect. I works for me though, and amd is such a headache that I've not investigated further until now. Many more elaborate solutions can be used, including the usage of a "trampoline" directory to add one level of indirection between the directory where the filesystem is mounted and amd's mount point. Someone had sent me a very helpful mail about this, unfortunately I can't find it now. Hope this helps somewhat anyway.

One day, after hearing of the possible vunorability of xterm, I decided to take the suid bit off of it just in case. Just the other day, I knowticed something peculiar happening with it now. If I start up an xterm, I am invisible. Which I am invisible, everything works fine, as I can do everything I could do before. I have found this rather nice for watching people, as I am not shows in the w display, or even fingering says that I am not logged in if I log out with everything but the new xterm. The tasks still show up in ps and everything, just not with say "w" or "users" or anything like that. For example, here is what I get with a tty and a w after doing this, as you can see, the tty says I am on ttyp3, but it just isn't showing up in w. tty output: /dev/ttyp3 w output: 3:50AM up 17 days, 22:34, 4 users, load averages: 0.15, 0.06, 0.04 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT rif p0 rif 7:35PM - -tcsh (tcsh) ghormann p1 wawasee.read.ind 9:24PM 5:01 -tcsh (tcsh) ghormann p5 wawasee.read.ind 10:10PM 4:57 -tcsh (tcsh) jriffle p6 rif 1:05AM - -tcsh (tcsh) I realize I could fix this by putting the suid bit back on, but what will stop say any user just compiling xterm themselves and becoming invisible? Although this is not a real problem, it just isn't comforting thinking of invisible users. I for one, don't check my ps display to see if people are hiding . Naturally the only people who could do this would be people with X, which in my case is very few. So, is this some sort of a bug, or just something that is going to happen?

Maybe this is solving the wrong problem. I use bash as the root shell, and I've done it by simply linking it statically. Yes, it works.

Lots of ISPs have shown that you can perform this task either with Linux or with FreeBSD. Recently, though, I've heard of more people moving from Linux to FreeBSD than the other way round. From my own perspective, there wouldn't be a question, but then you could argue that I'm biased. However: FreeBSD uses the original Berkeley TCP/IP software, which is the basis of the industry standard, whereas Linux uses a new implementation. Try and find details of each implementation--Stevens has three books based on the BSD software, but as far as I know there's nothing for Linux.

Well, while you're there, you might also add jed - compiles and works nicely under FreeBSD too (although not in the Ports collection for some reason). It isn't exactly in the "easy" class of editors though - the default (and this can be changed) interface is more emacs like.

Then when I do a mount it shows me two mfs devices, each mounted on /tmp, but the bonnie results tell me that it only uses one of the disks. (Yes, they are that much different in speed). Also, I seem to recall that when I used 2.1.0 I never actually used this option, because when I was toying around with it, it made my system run out of memory (8Mb). Back then, I solved it by not using MFS and using the partitions as regular swap devices.

For example, here's an excerpt from my /etc/fstab which does this: /dev/sd0s4b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd0s4b /tmp mfs rw 0 0 You'll also need to configure your kernel with the line options MFS for this to work, since the MFS filesystem type can't yet be dynamically loaded. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 16 06:47:40 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA04521 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 06:47:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gage.com (auth.gage.com [205.217.2.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id GAA04511; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 06:47:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from octopus by gage.com (NX5.67d/NX4.2M) id AA08418; Mon, 16 Sep 96 08:47:33 -0500 Received: from squid by octopus.gage.com (NX5.67e/NX3.0S) id AA09579; Mon, 16 Sep 96 08:43:18 -0500 Received: from insomnia by squid.gage.com (NX5.67e/NX3.0S) id AA04310; Mon, 16 Sep 96 08:48:18 -0500 Message-Id: <9609161348.AA04310@squid.gage.com> Received: by insomnia.gage.com (NX5.67g/NX3.0X) id AA00627; Mon, 16 Sep 96 08:48:27 -0500 Content-Type: text/plain Mime-Version: 1.0 (NeXT Mail 4.0 v146.2) X-Nextstep-Mailer: Mail 3.3 (Enhance 1.3) Received: by NeXT.Mailer (1.146.2) From: Ben Black Date: Mon, 16 Sep 96 08:48:24 -0500 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: IP Aliasing HOWTO on-line Cc: docs@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk http://www.cypher.net/~black/ipalias.html this is the first draft of my ip aliasing instructions for freebsd (i may add instructions for solaris and linux later). it may be helpful or it may be totally wrong. let me know what you think either way. b3n black@cypher.net From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 16 07:00:21 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA05440 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 07:00:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from caravelle.com (root@[205.206.12.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA05434 for ; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 07:00:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: from lab21.caravelle.com ([205.206.12.53]) by caravelle.com (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id JAA00337 for ; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 09:54:41 -0400 Message-ID: <323D5D61.4666@caravelle.com> Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 10:00:01 -0400 From: Keith Ng Reply-To: kng@caravelle.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Installation Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I get another installation error after I install the bin distribution .

However I could be wrong (it certainly wouldn't be the first time either :-)). If you are warry of FIPS and you have to reinstall anyway, do this (or something like it, since, again, I may have the order slightly wrong): 1. Fdisk drive to include a small DOS partition at front (~20MB). 2. Install FreeBSD using the 20Mb partition to help FreeBSD get the geometry right (assuming you have a big drive). I would delete the 20Mb partition and install over it plus some during the FreeBSD install). Don't bother to install the boot manager. 3. Install Win95 on remaining space. (watch out for BIOS boot limit, is it 540MB on PC's? I can't remember.) 4. Pull boot manager off FreeBSD CD-ROM (or internet, whatever is appropriate) and install it. I used this procedure with my computer and it worked like a charm and no FIPs threatening my HD's. My setup: 1.2Gig WDCaviar EIDE 500MB FreeBSD 700MB Win95 1.6Gig WDCaviar EIDE 700MB FreeBSD 900MB Win95 Those sizes are estimated obviously, and from memory so they may not be exact, but they are about right. I know the EIDE's suck, but I can't afford SCSI (or else I'd have it believe me). And I'm sorry about the Win95, but I needed it for the word processing for my classes. Anyway, it works great, and hopefully will for you too, Daniel CS Major dhagan@vt.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 16 09:16:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA13763 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 09:16:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from www.nation-net.com (www.nation-net.com [194.159.125.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA13753 for ; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 09:16:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mag.nation-net.com (194.159.125.14) by www.nation-net.com with SMTP (Apple Internet Mail Server 1.0); Mon, 16 Sep 1996 17:18:19 +0000 Message-ID: <323D7CC5.31C7@nation-net.com> Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 17:13:57 +0100 From: Paul Walsh Organization: Walsh Simmons X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: David Nugent CC: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Primary partition info erased References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk David Nugent wrote: > Boot with the boot.flp boot disk, get into fdisk and rewrite the > MBR. > > >Are you going to tell me to reformat the disk, repartition and restore > >from backups? > > Ouch, no.

The box in question is built around an ASUS 486 motherboard, an SP3G. I've added ASUS's PCI SC200 host adapter, which uses the NCR 53c810 chip, in order to have an external SCSI port. The host adapter talks to a Seagate drive and a 4mm Hewlett-Packard DAT tape drive. A second PC, with only an IDE hard drive and a Mitsumi FX400 IDE CD-ROM drive, had run successfully under FreeBSD 2.1R with its "atapi.flp" boot image for the original installation. My hope was to move the Mitsumi CD drive to the SCSI box for use with 2.1.5, and, given the results under 2.1, I expected the move to be painless. However, I cannot get the SCSI-based box to recognize the CD-ROM drive. The Mitsumi drive is the only device on the (built-in) IDE bus and is jumpered to be a Master device. The IDE controller is enabled in the ASUS setup and is recognized on IRQ 14 by the "boot.flp" image. Sadly, the boot diskette under 2.1.5 never finds a "wcd0" device. When a normal installation attempt reaches the point at which it needs to read from the CD, I get a "No CD drives found" message. Similarly, attempts to mount the CD by hand from the fixit floppy result in a "device not configured" message. (This same physical drive worked under FreeBSD 2.1 on the other PC, and it works under DOS on this ASUS-based PC, so I'm reasonably sure the hardware is okay.) Anyone have any suggestions for grafting an IDE CD-ROM onto a healthy SCSI box? Thanks, Frank McCormick ---------------------------------------------------------------- Certification Services, Inc.

Just a hint for anyone who is contemplating installing FreeBSD sharing the disk with OS/2, and in particular with OS/2's boot manager. Don't let FreeBSD's fdisk *create* the parition (although you'll certainly have to edit the partition table to change the type). Use OS/2's FDISK to do that, making it an "extended" partition, then during the FreeBSD install, change the type to a FreeBSD partition. Slice it from there. Boot Manager will have no problems seeing the partition then, and you'll be able to add it to BM's menu. Naturally, this advice does not apply if you're using the FreeBSD loader. It loads OS/2 just fine, even if it isn's so pretty. BTW, has anyone done any work on a filesystem driver to read OS/2 HPFS drives? I sort of miss that functionality I had with Linux. :) David L.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Out of curiosity, does sendmail do any sort of delivery optimizing. For instance, if you use :include: on a list of addresses does it sort that list, attempting to get all addresses in a certain domain in order, so it can pass all of them off to a local system at once, or at the very least so it can deliver them over an already established route on or about the same time. On a similar note, currently majordomo takes a secondary role in delivery, acting more as a filter than anything. I was thinking on a heavilly hit list server (i.e. more than ~100 addresses per list and more than 1 post every few seconds) it may be smarter to have a list server automatically group the messages, holding off delivery a few seconds (depending upon the load and ratio of addresses/hits) and hooking back to call sendmail. Is there any software that does this? Some of the lists I manage have upwards of 4,000 email addresses (fortunately they are not heavilly hit). I've hacked a program which sorts them by domain, but I think other optimizations could be made. Is there a newer version of Majordomo which does this? And lastly, is there an option available to 'multi-plex' sendmail / majordomo? In order to get it to deliver more than one message at a time (such as delivering the first 10-n messages at a time, handling multiple sockets and forking appropriately). This would slam a machine, but if its a dedicated machine and you capped the max it would work on at a time I dont see a problem with that--if the end result was faster delivery. -Brandon Gillespie From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 16 12:30:21 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA01048 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 12:30:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smtp1.interramp.com (smtp1.interramp.com [38.8.45.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA01042 for ; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 12:30:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pp002382.interramp.com by smtp1.interramp.com (8.6.12/SMI-4.1.3-PSI-irsmtp) id PAA09907; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 15:30:10 -0400 Message-Id: <2.2.16.19960916193050.889fd54e@pop3.interramp.com> X-Sender: pp002382@pop3.interramp.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (16) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 12:30:50 -0700 To: matt quelch From: "John W.

Yes, the new 2.1.5R floppy installation requires the .inf file to be on the first diskette in the distribution directory. So, for bin, and in the /bin directory on the first diskette, you will need bin.aa - bin.ae and bin.inf. This goes for all of the other distributions.

It seems to be crashing and failing big-time under the Merlin gamma, and my bug reports have been utterly ignored. So, I'd like to try FreeBSD on it. But first, some questions: How good is the PCMCIA support in FreeBSD? Will I be able to swap cards? Is APM supported? Will the system (including PCMCIA) be able to survive a suspend/resume cycle without "freaking out" or getting too busy to use due to missed items in /etc/crontab? (Come to think of it, how DOES it handle missed items in /etc/crontab?) Is there a sync on suspend? If the battery dies during a suspend (common on many laptops that suspend when the battery gets low), is the filesystem left "clean" and ready for a reboot? Finally, there doesn't appear to be a driver for my 3C562 Modem/Ethernet combo card. As I understand it, this card is really just a 3Com Ethernet adapter and a modem (with standard UART) sharing an IRQ. Is there a driver available? Would it be possible to construct one by creating a "hybrid" driver that probed for the card, grabbed the one interrupt, and linked to routines from the existing sio and 3Com PCMCIA Ethernet drivers? --Brett From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 16 12:49:49 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA02652 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 12:49:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from alaska.net (root@calvino.alaska.net [206.149.65.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA02644 for ; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 12:49:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from hmmm.alaska.net by alaska.net (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA19498; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 11:49:38 -0800 Message-Id: <323D8A41.3E52@alaska.net> Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 10:11:29 -0700 From: hmmm X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02 (Win16; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions Subject: ffffffff tun0 route Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 route my ppp cfg's: (my ppp does work) default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 14400 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 3 \"\" AT&F OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 30 CONNECT" isp: set phone 1234567 set login "TIMEOUT 3 login:-\\r-login: hmmm word: password" set timeout 300 set ifaddr hmmm/0 ispname/0 linkup ------ MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 16 12:50:08 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA02730 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 12:50:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from alaska.net (root@calvino.alaska.net [206.149.65.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA02708; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 12:50:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from hmmm.alaska.net by alaska.net (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA19518; Mon, 16 Sep 1996 11:49:44 -0800 Message-Id: <323D8EA0.1D29@alaska.net> Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 10:30:08 -0700 From: hmmm X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02 (Win16; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: Ben Black Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org, docs@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: IP Aliasing HOWTO on-line References: <9609161348.AA04310@squid.gage.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ben Black wrote: > > http://www.cypher.net/~black/ipalias.html cool! now how will users find things like this down the road? i'm doing something similiar ...

Basically, he has a CDrom that is unsupported by the 2.1.5 boot disk (2.2-SNAP seems to support it...), so what he did was took and copied over what he required from the CDrom to an extended (E:) drive on his computer.

I have a feeling that it is caused by problems in the SLIP code erroneously expanding bad CSLIP headers. Switching to PPP only stopped the problem completely. The CSLIP problem has been fixed in 2.1.5 by David Greenman, which is why I'm surprised you are still suffering. Try switching everyone possible over to PPP and see if that reduces the problem. DG, did however express doubt as to the cause of my problems, and suggested that I was running out of mbuf clusters.

APM is supported, although many laptop APM implementations make a lot of assumptions. I can enable APM and lid-suspend my Sharp, but trying to talk to the APM interface causes it to trap (the fault address is in the BIOS, so I don't think it's the APM driver's fault per se.) The system syncs on suspend, and snaps the clock when it resumes, so that missed cron jobs are just lost. Filesystems aren't marked clean, as that requires an unmount. Some PCC's require reinitialisation coming out of a suspend (and removing a card while suspended can cause grief), and support for that is in place but not implemented. > Finally, there doesn't appear to be a driver for my 3C562 Modem/Ethernet > combo card.

UNIX yes. MAC ... I think there's something in the FreeBSD ports or packages collection that does that ... tkhfs, or something. I've never tried it myself. But Unix and MS-DOG filesystems I know work. > 2) I can't seen to get the Ethernet card to be recognized (it shows > it is the bootup but i can't do the device thing or whatever) If it shows up in the bootup then all you have to do is assign an IP address and netmask to it. For example, if it's an Ethernet card based on the DEC driver, type ifconfig de0 inet W.X.Y.Z netmask A.B.C.D substituting the appropriate values. If it's a Lance ethernet, use `ln0' instead of `de0'. If it's an Intel, try `ie0'. If you don't know what it is, type ifconfig -a to list all Ethernet adaptors currently installed. Finally, to automatically configure your card each time you boot up, add its type to the entry network_interfaces in /etc/sysconfig, then add an ifconfig entry for the card. For example: network_interfaces="lo0 de0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_de0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00" > and I can't have com ports 3 and 4!! Sure you can.

Even though the kernel device drivers for the serial ports COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4 are called sio0, sio1, sio2, and sio3, the /dev entries are /dev/cuaa0 For call-out on COM1 /dev/cuaa1 For call-out on COM2 /dev/cuaa2 For call-out on COM3 /dev/cuaa3 For call-out on COM4 /dev/ttyd0 For dial-in or generic use on COM1 /dev/ttyd1 For dial-in or generic use on COM2 /dev/ttyd2 For dial-in or generic use on COM3 /dev/ttyd3 For dial-in or generic use on COM4 Type "man 4 sio" for more information.

If you did, it will default to blocking any traffic (I don't know about ICMP traffic though, it seems a bit odd it doesn't block your pings too, but I'm not sure if that's blocked by default). > > I have searched the mail archives and the handbook in vain for a solution. > Can anyone help me out here? > > BTW, once I get this straightened out I plan to connect my wife's Win95 > machine to the net.

Just open the Network control panel applet, and then choose Add and Protocol, then select Microsoft and TCP/IP. After that, select the TCP/IP protocol and click on properties to get to its setup dialog boxes.

There isn't a FreeBSD utility to handle this, but the MS-DOS 'format' command shouldn't give you any trouble. (I wouldn't recommend messing with the CMOS, though.) The MS-DOS format utility doesn't do a "low level" format. Apart from writing the DOS filesystem structures (at the very start of the partition), it just checks for bad sectors. So it wouldn't be writing near your BSD partition, anyway. The boot manager generally occupies the first cylinder of the disk, and can be overwritten by the MS-DOS 'fdisk' utility, for instance. (And it is also overwritten by default during a Windows 95 installation.) However, you can just copy it back onto the disk, if that happens. If you want to be able to boot DOS or Windows, you would also have to 'sys' the filesystem ("format c: /s" amounts to the same thing). If you'd really prefer to avoid using Microsoft software, I wrote a replacement 'format' utility in C which runs on DOS, handles hard drives, and is available on the Internet. (You could read or patch the code so as to be sure of what it was doing.) Anyway, reformatting a DOS partitions while BSD is already installed is not particularly risky. -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 17 01:27:51 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id BAA20362 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 01:27:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from al.imforei.apana.org.au (pjchilds@al.imforei.apana.org.au [202.12.89.41]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id BAA20356 for ; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 01:27:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from pjchilds@localhost) by al.imforei.apana.org.au (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA22337; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 17:56:46 +0930 (CST) Date: Tue, 17 Sep 1996 17:56:46 +0930 (CST) From: Peter Childs Message-Id: <199609170826.RAA22337@al.imforei.apana.org.au> To: Skynet1@Cris.com, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Proxy Server, HTTP, FTP, Telnet, and DNS Newsgroups: apana.lists.os.freebsd.questions X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk In article <1.5.4.32.19960914042954.00664734@pop3.concentric.net> you wrote: : Does FreeBSD come equip with a Proxy Server, HTTP server, FTP server, : Telnet Server (by a longshot), and a DNS server?

I'd like to mount two swap partitions on /tmp and combine their capacity. I used the following fstab entries, but this has the effect of combining the two partitions for swap, while /tmp is mounted twice, one mount hiding the other. In effect, this gives me 100Mb swap combined with 50Mb /tmp. /dev/sd0s2b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd0s2b /tmp mfs rw 0 0 /dev/sd1s2b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd1s2b /tmp mfs rw 0 0 I was hoping that this would give me and interleaved /tmp of 100Mb. But I guess I knew better from the start <:-) Ok, trying a different angle: Can I set up ccd(4) in such a way that it allows me to combine the two partitions for swap and /tmp? The manual page for ccd claims that the kernel will only accept FFS components.

Maybe FDISK is dead. Try using the FreeBSD version. Are you interested in whatever contents are still on it? Otherwise you could try just setting it up with FreeBSD. You might need to format it. Sorry, FreeBSD doens't have a format program, you'll have to hope that your system BIOS does.

Well, since as is friendly enough to tell you the line number, why don't you take a look at what's there? In 2.1, it looked something like: /* * btext: beginning of text section. * Also the entry point (jumped to directly from the boot blocks). */ NON_GPROF_ENTRY(btext) movw $0x1234,0x472 /* warm boot */ /* Set up a real frame, some day we will be doing returns */ pushl %ebp movl %esp, %ebp I'd guess that your locore.s is hosed, and that you'll see a lot of junk starting on line 156.

I am a semi-UN*X-literate user, and am trying to do a simialar thing. I have 2 PC's at home, connected with ne200 ethernet cards. I have assigned my FreeBSD box IP address 10.0.0.1, and my Win95 box 10.0.0.2. My BSD box has the modem, and a dialup PPP connection with dynamicly assigned IP address. My Goal: Let my wife start Netcape on the Win95 machine, the BSD box detects internet bound packets, and does the dial-on-demand PPP conection. (more on this later) After 5 to 10 minutes of non-use, the PPP link should consider itself non-used, and disconnect. Where I am: I can ping either box from the other (netmask 255.255.255.0) I can use PPP , then "dial" from the PPP> prompt to make the PPP Link on the BSD box. Then I can surf to my hearts content from the BSD box. I *can-not* reach the internet either via DNS, or numeric IP from the WIn95 box. I have enabled Gatewaying in the /etc/sysconfig. I have set my FreeBSD box as gateway and DNS server in Win95's TCP/IP config. What I lack: 1: I am aware that the 10.X.X.X sub-net is not internet-legal. How do I make the FreeBSD box "fake" or "mask" the address to allow traffic. 2: When I start "ppp -auto ", the ppp link starts, and works, however, it does not wait for an internet-bound packet to start, and after a timeout, it immediatley re-dials. 3: On a completely different tangent, is there a *free* NFS client for Win95? I have samba working, but want to play with NFS... :-) 4: If the answer to any of the above is RTFM, I apologize, but I've tried, so please point me to the appropriate manual or handbook pages :-) Thanks, Stephen L.

I'd guess that this is just a hope. > Any chance of recovering the data or does it need 'low-level formatting' Well, you need to low-level format the first sector at any rate, where the partition is. There are a number of problems with this: 1. I don't know of any tool currently available which will let you format limited parts of a disk. 2. You will need to know *exactly* how you partitioned the disk. On top of this, it's quite possible that low-level formatting won't do the trick: the disk may have become a paperweight. All the message really tells you is that the drive wasn't able to read, not that a format will fix the problem. On the whole, though, it looks as if this is a hardware problem beyond anybody's control. Sorry about that.

Is there any plans for develop a driver to support the genius 2400 dpi table scanner? I also couldn't make the system recognize my Sony Atapi CD-ROM, since that in my CD there wasn't the inst-ide.bat file. I don't know how to proceed. Thanks in advance!

Fix your /etc/group (yes, I know I've told you, but I'm copying -questions): assuming your name is dunham, change the line reading wheel:*:0:root,grog,bin to read wheel:*:0:root,grog,bin,dunham su looks at this to decide whether to let you su or not. > I'm going back to startx, unless you can give me some reason why I > should consider xdm that isn't obvious to the uninitiated, and tell > me how to REALLY get out of it. xdm is great for people who never want (nor need) to see a character mode display. Unfortunately, not everything runs under X, and xdm effectively takes away some of your freedom. I use xinit myself, and for the life of me I can't recall what the difference is from startx. Not much, anyway. You could consider them interchangeable.

If all you need is Netscape, then you don't even need any masquerading stuff. You can simply set up a proxy on the FreeBSD box (there are some in the ports collection, and even Apache should do, at least as of V1.1.1). That will allow you to use Netscape, and that only (well, any web browser, but nothing more) on the Win95 machine. No direct TCP/IP connections to/from the Win95 will be possible. If you want services you don't have proxies for you may want and use something like socks or the IPfilter ipnat utility. > Where I am: I can ping either box from the other (netmask 255.255.255.0) > I can use PPP , then "dial" from the PPP> prompt to make the > PPP Link on the BSD box.

I had a similar problem with a couple of SGI Indys running IRIX 5.3 and a Cisco 1003. Does it lock up on any kind of transfer or just specific applications? Our problem was with a specific application. ftp for example would work fine... The weirdest of all is that pinging the other side would release it.

You say you couldn't get the CDROM recognized. How did you install then??? What do you mean "can't boot"? What happens when you try?

What version do you use??? 2.1.5 supports Atapi CDROM's out of the box. No special installation procedure required. To better help you, please send your configuration, i.e. what devices are connected to what EIDE channels and at what position (master/slave). The layout of the partitions on the disks may also be helpful. The only way I can get an EIDE CDROM to work is in the slave position on the primary controller, with the second disk on the second controller. This would make the second disk known as wd2. You may also want to take a look at the tutorials on multi-OS installations (start surfing from http://www.freebsd.org and then look at the tutorials, under documentation).

The only different is you need to use ctrl-alt-Fx instead of just Alt-Fx to switch consoles. FWIW you may have more than one X server running as well (just like you have more than one virtual character cell console). If you want to kill xdm - simply do it! Do ps auxw | grep xdm, and you'll see something like: root 156 0.0 0.0 292 0 ?? IW Tue07PM 0:00.09 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm Just kill that! (with kill -9 156, for example). This would kill xdm for good (at least if you started it from rc.local and not from /etc/ttys). I see you already got an answer on how to su. I didn't follow this thread from the beginning, so if my input is irrelevant please ignore it.

You're not sposta... seems that you forgot to leave in the lines that I stated about testing with xdm -nodaemon!!!! xdm is _designed_ to restart every time. and if you need a text terminal .. use the to switch back to the console! to kill the xdm stuff... you have to kill -TERM the xdm with the lowest pid. This will keep it from re-spawning.

You could consider them interchangeable. well kinda... xdm gives you an x interface when you want it.. but you still have the option of getting the console interface at any time by using . Just a little explanation: there are 12 syscons consoles compiled into the GENERIC kernel. 0,1,2 are all setup to present you with a login prompt. 3 is the default console to start your X session on... so you can still switch back to the others using the . By way of note... you can switch back to the x console using . You can even add more syscons consoles fairly easily... since the devices start at 0, you have in your /etc/ttys somthing like: # ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure Note that number three is off .. that is for X windows... you can add a line like: ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure cd /dev ; MAKEDEV vty4 then kill -HUP 1 and presto gives you another console cd /dev ; MAKEDEV vty4 Hope this helps! ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?

What's wrong with Ctrl-Alt-F? to get > back to your character term vts while X is running? Hmmm. This seems to be general knowledge in which I don't share. That's probably because I've been using Thomas Roell's X server (now XInside) for nearly 5 years, and it doesn't work that way. But there's definitely something wrong with any key combination which will take you out of X. I use a number of control-alt-Fx combinations for emacs, though I suppose I wouldn't have done so if XFree86 had been available at the time. > Works fine > here.

I can boot up the machine, but after the boot, by the time the system probes the devices, the attribute of the caracters of the display (mode) are changed (as usual, the caracters get brighter). It's normal, and if you're using a VGA adapter, no problem. But the old 'crap' cga monitor do not support that modes, then I can't see anything in the display. I changed the kernel options to support PCVT. Now I can see the all the messages (they got underlined!), but the keyboard... I think it changes the keyboard layout to VT220 but I'm using the standard PC keyboard...things get worse! Any ideas to help me out ? Thanks a lot! Regards, Helio.

A word of warning, though: I believe you that this works on FreeBSD, at least some of the time, but I've seen it really screw up other related systems (specifically BSD/OS), and I suspect that it might happen on FreeBSD too with different X servers or different display boards. Obviously, if you find no other way out, you can try it, but it might be better just to reboot. > I didn't follow this thread from the beginning, so if my input is > irrelevant please ignore it.

That would assume that it's paging severely with 16 MB. I don't think that's the case, and it would be really bad if it were. > also, are your benchmarks in bits or bytes per second? Bytes, not bits. It couldn't be that bad :-) The high values (1030 kB/s) represent a little over 80% of the theoretical bandwidth.

I'm looking for a way to get smart to that. I assume > it's standard unix script? As Sean Kelly pointed out, it's not. It's a configuration file with a somewhat (!) involved syntax and variable expansion constructs which indeed can make it look like a shell script. Let's have a look at it (briefly). Someone correct me if I'm wrong. /defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root/;rhost:=${key} This line establishes global defaults: . type:= host means that we're doing remote mounts through NFS (as opposed to local filesystems mounts which can also be done using amd -- ufs and such) . fs:=... establishes how amd's mount point will be constructed e.g. for a remote host called "foo" exporting a "/data" dir, amd's mount point will be /a/foo/root/data . rhost:=... means that the the key matched in the rule below will actually be the host name to mount from * host!=${key};opts:=rw,nosuid; \ host==${key};type:=link;fs:=/; Those two lines mean that for anything (because * matches all) under the directory specified for this map (/Net in the example I gave in my previous mail), the following rules will be applied (note that the "anything under the directory specified" is actually called the "key"). . if the local host name doesn't match the key name, then actually do a NFS mount using the specified options . if the local host name matches the key, then no need to go through NFS, just do a link to the root of the local system Then, on host "bar" /Net/bar will just point to /, and /Net/foo/data will point to /a/foo/root/data which in turn will be a NFS mount point for foo:/data (always for the example I gave of my local setup). Hope this is not too obscure.

I have a 486 system with an Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter, two disk-drives and a CD_ROM drive. The "C" is is 2.1G for DOS. The other drive is 1.2G for FreeBSD. The CD-ROM drive is a Plexar-4x. I am performing the install after booting the machine from a boot-floppy. The disk-partitioning, disk-labeling, and distribution-selection goes just fine. But, when data is being copied from the CD-ROM to the hard-drive, I get some error messages of the form: Trouble extracting /bin from cd0a. Do you want to try again? I get a number of the maeesages, and the installation fails. I have no problems with the CD-ROM drive for other applications. Is it possible that the Walnut-Creek CD-ROM is defective? Could my hard-drive have a problem? Or the most likely case: Operator error. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Michael Nix AMD, Austin September 17, 1996 12:19 p. m.

There is a dummy utility :-). It's in the /tools directory, and it's a DOS program (Win95, even in DOS mode wouldn't do). I think it's called bootinst or something like that (it's pretty obvious once you know you look for a DOS executeable in that directory). > > > -- > paul@nation-net.com Walsh Simmons > 0161-839 9337 Manchester, UK > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 17 11:02:03 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA25548 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 11:02:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from zwei.siemens.at (zwei.siemens.at [193.81.246.12]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA25538 for ; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 11:01:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sol1.gud.siemens.co.at (root@[10.1.143.100]) by zwei.siemens.at (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id UAA21192 for ; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 20:00:41 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from ws2301.gud.siemens.co.at by sol1.gud.siemens.co.at with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #7 for ) id m0v34SQ-000218C; Tue, 17 Sep 96 20:01 MET DST Received: by ws2301.gud.siemens.co.at (1.37.109.16/1.37) id AA134392989; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 19:56:29 +0200 From: "Hr.Ladavac" Message-Id: <199609171756.AA134392989@ws2301.gud.siemens.co.at> Subject: Re: Please help me:- To: jas@ambreen.com (Khurram Iftikhar) Date: Tue, 17 Sep 1996 19:56:29 +0200 (MESZ) Cc: support@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: from "Khurram Iftikhar" at Sep 17, 96 08:39:00 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk E-mail message from Khurram Iftikhar contained: > > > Hello, > I want to ask you a question please answer it as soon as possible .

What type of disks you have? What do you mean by "can't boot from second drive anymore"? Could you boot before? What happened? What error messages do you have? In principle you can boot a floppy (like the installation floppy) and give it the location of the kernel at the boot: prompt. The syntax depends on the version of FreeBSD, but should be something like wd(1,a)/kernel I'm not sure about the syntax, but it gives a small example when it presents the prompt... What do you mean: Tell BootEasy where to boot from? If the second disk is configured, when BootEasy starts it will let you press F5 to boot the second disk.

I guess you mean let a relatively smart O.S. do the remapping for the dumb ones? If you have the "dumb" machines behind a FreeBSD router, I think IPfilter, and its ipnat utilities can do the trick. I vaguely remember that I read it can do it in the documentation when I installed it, but I'm not sure what configurations exactly it supports. You should consider just waiting for the DNS propogation though, because IPfilter is not that easy to master... > > Regards, > David > > David Nugent, Unique Computing Pty Ltd - Melbourne, Australia > Voice +61-3-791-9547 Data/BBS +61-3-792-3507 3:632/348@fidonet > davidn@blaze.net.au http://www.blaze.net.au/~davidn > > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 17 11:18:42 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA02385 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 11:18:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from holiday.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu (holiday.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu [146.245.1.55]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA02371 for ; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 11:18:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dayton@localhost) by holiday.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id OAA27952; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 14:16:56 GMT Date: Tue, 17 Sep 1996 14:16:56 GMT Message-Id: <199609171416.OAA27952@holiday.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu> From: Dayton Clark To: dufault@hda.com cc: questions@freebsd.org, pencil@holiday.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu Subject: LabPC+ problem Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, We're using the labpc driver with FreeBSD 2.1R. The system is a straight forward 486/33 with ISA bus. The board is a LabPC+. We are doing digital output and analog input simultaneously. When we read a single channel (channel 0) it works fine. When we scan channels 7 - 0 we seem to get channel 0 values for all channels. Our application is not very demanding as to sampling rate. We did have to defeat the multiple open lockout to open the device twice. Is the the likely cause of the problem? :) We need to overcome this problem and we're willing and able to work on it. The real questions are: a) Are we trying to do something the BOARD can't do? b) Are we trying to do something the DRIVER (as is) can't do? c) Should we continue to suspect our user-side code? If a) is correct, we'll be verry disappointed. I'm bleary eyed from investigating c). I suspect that b) is correct. If we are to venture further into the driver, do you have any words of wisdom on as to how to overcome the problem? A specific question is: why is the multi-open lockout necessary? thanks dayton Dayton Clark CIS Department dayton@brooklyn.cuny.edu Brooklyn College/CUNY 1-718-951-4811 Brooklyn, New York 11210 1-718-951-4842 (fax) From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 17 11:19:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA02551 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 11:19:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: from zwei.siemens.at (zwei.siemens.at [193.81.246.12]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA02536 for ; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 11:19:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sol1.gud.siemens.co.at (root@[10.1.143.100]) by zwei.siemens.at (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id UAA21434 for ; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 20:18:26 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from ws2301.gud.siemens.co.at by sol1.gud.siemens.co.at with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #7 for ) id m0v34jc-000218C; Tue, 17 Sep 96 20:19 MET DST Received: by ws2301.gud.siemens.co.at (1.37.109.16/1.37) id AA135744055; Tue, 17 Sep 1996 20:14:15 +0200 From: "Hr.Ladavac" Message-Id: <199609171814.AA135744055@ws2301.gud.siemens.co.at> Subject: Re: CDE for FreeBSD To: green@arf.cs.sunyit.edu (Charles Green) Date: Tue, 17 Sep 1996 20:14:15 +0200 (MESZ) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199609171727.NAA00381@arf.cs.sunyit.edu> from "Charles Green" at Sep 17, 96 01:27:53 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk E-mail message from Charles Green contained: > > Any word on CDE.

I could ping (and do anything else on the net) if I used the GENERIC kernel, but if I only had the ed0 driver in my config file, I would get the same message you got. I finally just added all the ethernet drivers that were in GENERIC and it works fine now (I got lazy trying to figure out which driver was the key to making it work). I have this same problem with an Adaptec card, I had to include all SCSI adapter drivers before the kernel would even compile.

If you are trying to telnet in as root, initially the FreeBSD system is setup to not allow this. Best answer is to setup another user and telnet into the box (or FTP) using the new i.d. Or, you can change your access for telnet and FTP and allow root access. Your choice. For Windows95, what will you want your wife to do? Disk access via NFS? Telnet or FTP? It depends on what you want the Windows95 box to do, and for that matter, the FreeBSD box, in the grand scheme of your household computing center. :-) Based on your answer, one of us could do a better job of pointing you to the appropriate docs. Let us know.

As my instuctor recommended I purchased FREEBSD CDs to have'm installed in my 486-33MHz computer. Today is the forth week that I have been trying. I also been calling Tech Support more than 15 times, asking them questions. Anyway, David from Tech Support gave me your E-mail address so I can briefly mail all the installation problems I have. Here they are: I went through changing my hardware so CDROM can be recognize by FreeBSD which couldn't at beginning. I had 1 DOS Partition (1.6 GB H.D) which had to delete it so I can make another Partition for FreeBSD (made 300MB). To make it short, for two weeks tried to use installation from CDROM using Tech Support help finally I quit on that and decided to do it Using DOS Partition. I made the directory FreeBSD under C: and copied /BIN files. I also later on copied /FLOPPIES files per Tech Support. Booted up to FreeBSD installation menu, in FDISK Partitioning deleted Extended Partition and created FreeBSD, used A (AUTO) in labeling, selected "Wd0s1" (DOS Partition) and proceeded by selecting install from DOS Partition. It began doing some stuff and than came up with following error messages: €1- Write failure on transfer /BIN distribution from Wd0s1 (wrote 1€ €Byte)€ €Following by ENTER key, rapidly displayed the below message.€ €2- /mnt: create/symlink failed, no inodes free€. Since I had enough capacity on my H.D, copied all the files from CDROM to FreeBSD directory to be safe if there is file missing, but still didn't work I had same error messages displayed.

If you have trouble with this then I suggest you read ALL of the docs in the top level release dir where you installed FreeBSD from.

Here they are: This E-Mail address, or the FreeBSD newsgroups, are what you'll usually use for tech support. All Walnut Creek really does is sell CDs with FreeBSD on them --- it doesn't make or support FreeBSD (although it does contribute to the project in its own very important way). This email address is a mailing list of people who are subscribed to the freebsd-questions list. They are people who for some inexplicable reason get their kicks by answering people's FreeBSD-related questions (IOW they're volunteers, as is most everyone associated with FreeBSD). > I went through changing my hardware so CDROM can be recognize by=20 > FreeBSD which couldn't at beginning.

Naturally, you'd want to install from the CD if at all possible. Depending on what they're going to teach in this UNIX class, you may want to throw FBSD more space. Also, are you aware of the limits placed by most 486 biosses on bootable partitions? If you want to boot from the partition, it must be below the 512MB mark on the hdd. > I made the directory FreeBSD under C: and copied /BIN files. > I also later on copied /FLOPPIES files per Tech Support. > Booted up to FreeBSD installation menu, in FDISK Partitioning deleted=20 > Extended Partition and created FreeBSD, used A (AUTO) in labeling, > selected "Wd0s1" (DOS Partition) and proceeded by selecting install > from DOS Partition.

It sounds as if the FreeBSD partition is corrupt. This could be because you are trying to install from an msdos partition (the msdosfs code is buggy and has been known to trash both dos partitions and FreeBSD slices). You might consider trying installing over the Internet. If it is the msdosfs code screwing you, that'll fix it. However, the msdosfs stuff usually causes problems only when you have FIPS'd your hdd, and you don't seem to have done that??? -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken?

(Win95 or BSD) Yes FreeBSD does need its own partition. If you don't have space and need to "down-size" your DOS partition, you could use a program called FIPS, which was written for this purpose (on ftp.freebsd.org). However, I've read a number of posts on the lists to the effect that doing so increases your chances for corrupting those FIPS-downsized DOS partitions when accessing the partitions from FreeBSD. It would seem a fresh backup/normal repartition/install OR buying another hard disk might be a better solution, unless you don't intend to modify your DOS partitions from FreeBSD (i.e. don't mount them or mount them read-only). And to your second question, there are a number of programs out there to multi-boot between multiple operating systems. I've found OS/BS (v2.0b8) the most flexible for my needs, but the FreeBSD default boot loader BOOTEASY works well too.

Preferably working with any types of interface, serial, leased, ISDN etc. 2) PIX-like VPN encryption on the NAT'ed outbound packets. 3) Other generic firewalling, proxying and NAT features. I know many individual 3rd party apps already support these, but I am more interested in a whole suite of router/gateway/firewall framework that is easily manageable. Basically I am trying to track if there is any such efforts addressing such areas all together. If yes, please reply with some threads/leads/info. Otherwise, have there been talks/mentionings/ discussions/etc on similar topics which address techincal feasibility etc ?

I'm in a process of installing Intel Ether Express 16 NIC. But problems begin to arise. Could any one of you shed some light to these problems? 1. Can't get the NIC to talk to FreeBSD - we used several different IRQs and I/O prts with no avail. The IRQs used 3, 5, 7, 10. Ports used 220, 300, 310, 320. When we use irq 5 and port 310, it seems to works ok, but doing a probe in the config> section i get a page fault and have to reset. 2. If i continue to use irq 5 and port 310, on startup, bsd will pick up the card and give me its memory address, so i went and changed the /etc/sysconfig file. I added in ix0 as a network interface and added an ifconfig line ifconfig_ix0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00" when i startup now, i get iscp->busy time out Reset timeout scb->status = 0 Diagnose timeout cb->status = 0 Diagnose timeout scb->status = 0 Configure timeout cb->status = 0 Configure timeout scb->status = 0 IAS timeout cb ->status = 0 IAS timeout scb ->status = 0 and then this is repeated... 3.

This is the situation (fairly typical): there's one gateway for the entire class C address. I assume that machine uses the standard class C (255.255.255.0) netmask on its gateway link to the internet (ISDN). Now, any other systems within that class C network - specifically those which are gateways for subnets, use their subnet mask. Routing for the subnet on the gateway machine is done via the (base) network address for the subnet with the "-netmask ". Have I got that right? Thanks in advance.

I can log in as root and telnet out without any problems - never had a "connection refused as a result of that. That message occurs well before there's been any ident, and the remote host otherwise has no idea of which account you are logged in as; and it shouldn't care in any case. I certainly didn't change anything to allow it, and my setup is very standard. What FreeBSD *does* do is to disallow by default telneting INTO it with the login name of root, and you'd at least see the login prompt to type in the "root" login name before you get disconnected. I don't think that this is the cause of the "connection refused" messages. Sounds more like telnet has been disabled on the remote system(s), or inetd isn't running, which is exactly the result you'd expect in that case..

The results of: ifconfig -a netstat -r and more complete information about your setup of PPP. It seems that there is no (correct?) route set up to the ppp0 interface.

If you're running fast modems, don't worry about it. Just leave the port at the one speed and let the modem handle the buffering and speed adjustment. If you have 28.8k modems, run the ports all at 57600 or 115200 and leave it at that - it'll work fine (assuming that you have enabled flow control both on the modem - usually &K3 - and with the tty - crtscts).

You can get a lot of books from O'Reilly (http://www.ora.com) but might want to try discount book stores such as ReadMeDotDoc and BookPool (www.readmedotdoc.com and www.bookpool.com). The man pages for all the X and Xt commands come with X11R6 so you don't need the reference manuals (although I prefer having a book instead of online manual pages in this instance). Xlib Programming Manual Xlib Reference Manual X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual X Toolkit Intrinsics Reference Manual and (no flames please), I'd suggest getting Motif for $149.00 from Xinside for FreeBSD. Then, you'll want the Motif manuals (same goes for the Motif reference manual - you'll get the man pages with Motif): Motif Programming Manual Motif Reference Manual also from O'Reilly. For a good instructional book on Motif, Xt, and some Xlib, I recommend Douglas Youngs: The X Window System - Programming and Applications with Xt (Motif Edition) (concentrates on using C) Object-Oriented Programming with C++ and OSF/Motif I also recommend taking any X-windows programming course at a local college of your choice. I took one of those 1 credit courses and have managed to get buy with only the first Doug Young book mentioned above, and the reference manuals/man pages for Motif, Xt, and Xlib. YMMV.

Is the the likely cause of the problem? :) I assume you defeated the multiple open lockout to permit you to open the digital and analog channels? That should be OK. The board and driver should support scanning - I'm using it in an application at a clients to scan in five channels. Check the minor number to make sure you are scanning from the correct device - it has a field to set the upper bound on the scanning sequence. Then use "dd" to read from that device and see if you are getting all channels, eliminating problems with your user code and pointing the finger at the driver. Finally, see if there is a boundary issue with eight channels. > If we are to venture further into the driver, do you have any words of > wisdom on as to how to overcome the problem? A specific question is: > why is the multi-open lockout necessary? The multi open lockout is to prevent you from trying to open the device in, for example, scanning mode where it will scan through a channel list and also in fixed-channel mode where you read a single channel. The driver would have to be made a lot smarter than it is to handle the mode switching that would be required to reprogram the board on a transfer-by-transfer basis to support that, and though it could be done it is at least at first analysis probably a bad idea. The fact that the driver locks out simultaneous open for digital analog is a restriction that could be removed by changing "lockout_multiple_open" and testing the change. That is a sensible improvement. Now, for honesty: the version of the driver I have is changed to pull some common declarations into a separate header to permit sharing with some other drivers I have. I don't think that should affect you. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

I have made a statically linked version of bash for this purpose but found that when it can't get to the password database it still won't go. I had NIS running on my home machine and when booting in single user mode it doesn't start up NIS so the machine doesn't have a complete password database. The same problem occurs when the NIS server doesn't respond. Even with a root entry in the actual password file it was a no go. I'm still not sure what the precise cause was but i decided that it is better to have /bin/sh as root login shell.

Exactly what to press depends on how many vt consoles you have enabled (which is a kernel compile option - take a look at /sys/i386/conf/LINT for details). Take a look at your /etc/ttys file, which will probably look something like this: # [..] # ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure # Hardwired terminals [.. and so on ..] Now, the very first entry that describes an "off" tty, or if none are, the one right after the last one, THIS is where the (first) X server is actually running. So, just like it was a normal tty, you press Alt-Fn (Alt-F5, in the above example), and back comes X. >I tried it a couple of times to make sure I was doing as >instructed, but without success.

Already discussed on the list. If you start xdm in /etc/rc.local, then if you kill the xdm process, it'll turn off X completely. If you put it into /etc/ttys, then init will restart it each time you kill it off. > I assume that in ttys I turn ttyv3 off, but what else? Well, you can either turn off ttyv3, or leave it the way it is an add an extra (see below). Since I assume X works right now with ttyv3 enabled, then ttyv4 has obviously been configured into the kernel (how many consoles you actually have is stated in the startup messages, which you can view with dmesg or via /var/log/messages). Now, to put xdm under auto-control of init, you use something like this: # [..] # ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv4 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure [.. and so on ..] This starts one X server up on ttyv4 (and yes, as someone already mentioned, you can have multiple :-)). Actually, I recompiled my own kernel with 16 vt's and run X on ttyvb (Alt-F12). I tend to use a few vts. :) David Nugent, Unique Computing Pty Ltd - Melbourne, Australia Voice +61-3-791-9547 Data/BBS +61-3-792-3507 3:632/348@fidonet davidn@blaze.net.au http://www.blaze.net.au/~davidn From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 18 06:15:06 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA05653 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 18 Sep 1996 06:15:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cs.montana.edu (fubar.cs.montana.edu [153.90.192.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id GAA05638 for ; Wed, 18 Sep 1996 06:15:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: by cs.montana.edu; id AA07913; Wed, 18 Sep 1996 07:15:00 -0600 Message-Id: <2.2.32.19960918131450.0070945c@cs.montana.edu> X-Sender: ashworth@cs.montana.edu X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 18 Sep 1996 07:14:50 -0600 To: smoo@jump.net, questions@freebsd.org From: Justin Ashworth Subject: Re: Screen Resolutions Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk At 11:57 PM 9/17/96 -0500, SMoo wrote: >Me again >I've gotten the modem taken care of... > >Now I'm having problems with screen resolutions >I've gotten Xwindows set up with the correct refresh rates (whew!), >and want to toggle between the default 640x480 resolution. >is there a key sequence like in linux to toggle between them? >ie.

Never looked there before. Is it MAXCONS=16? I thought I only had 12, but I'm apparently wrong.

If I knew what to look for. A quick scan didn't show it up, but I'll devote a bit more time to it once I get out of mail.

The problem I have is when accessing a remote NNTP server at my ISP site. I always get connection timeout for some reason using either tin or news reader from Netscape. Another box running Win95 running Netscape newsreader, however, can access the same remote NNTP server WITHOUT problem at all. Has anyone run into the same problem as me ? There is NO firewalling, and ipforwarding enabled. I do not want to install other news reader just yet before I find out the cause to my problem.

NIS is running fine on one network with a master server and a slave server. I would like to have a slave server running on the second network. I have been able to get a NIS client running on the second network as follows: In /etc/sysconfig: nis_clientflags="-s -ypsetme" nis_ypsetflags="" But this is not sufficient to run a server across networks. The server will run, but it does not receive any NIS maps from the master server, /var/yp/iaeunguessable stays empty. I could run a NIS slave server on the router (it is a FreeBSD machine), but I'd rather not do that. Is there another solution? The NIS master is running FreeBSD 2.0.5, the slave server to be is running FreeBSD 2.1.5. The servers also use nis_serverflags="-p667". Thanks for any help.

By default, xdm will spawn another daemon process and return immediately. It is important, however, to configure the X server to use a specific console, and not the first free one (because when rc.local is run the getty's for the console are not yet set up by init, so all consoles are essentially free at that point). Anyhow, instruction on running xdm are in the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/freebsd-faq87.html#87 This way you can set up the X server to run on whatver virtual terminal you want (assuming, of course, that it is not used in text mode). > > -branson > > ============================================================================= > Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were > System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete > Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left? > > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 18 07:47:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA24964 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 18 Sep 1996 07:47:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sdev.blaze.net.au (sdev.blaze.net.au [203.17.53.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA24905 for ; Wed, 18 Sep 1996 07:47:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (davidn@localhost) by sdev.blaze.net.au (8.7.5/8.6.9) with SMTP id AAA00416; Thu, 19 Sep 1996 00:33:25 GMT Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 00:33:24 +0000 () From: David Nugent To: wOOwOO cc: Randy DuCharme , freebsd-questions Subject: Re: finger replies "permission denied" In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 18 Sep 1996, wOOwOO wrote: >check /tmp >the permission should be set to open for everyone :) Almost.

I'm not quite following you, I'm afraid, but I'll try... I understand that your setup is something like this: +---------+ +---------+ Internet Feed | FreeBSD | 172.16.x.x | MacOS | ---------------+ +---------------+ | | | | | +---------+ +---------+ And you want the Mac to give its services (www & ftp) to the outside on a knwon address. This means, of course, that you have to have a formal address that will be used to access those servers. The simplest thing would then be to run a proxy on the FreeBSD machine configured to pass all requests to the MacOS servers, and using the "official" address for the FreeBSD machine as the "well known" address for your server. There are many www proxies aroung, and the TIS fwtk has a ftp proxy. If your setup requires an IP alias on the FreeBSD machine, the following works for both 2.1.0 and 2.1.5: ifconfig de1 inet 192.116.93.18 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias > > In coming days I'm going to put another Ethernet card and make two > interfaces.

I understand that a question like this can lead to a potential war as there's probably a great deal of 'personal opinion' surrounding the responses, but I'm wondering...what's the "BEST" shell to use for a person new to UNIX. (by new I'm implying that I'm unaccustomed to any particular shell and will be learning whatever shell from the ground up) I've been using tcsh up until now as I like one of its features... namely the 'up arrow' recalling the previously typed commands. I also chose tcsh thinking that my knowledge of C would possibly be of some benefit. However, now that I'm beginning the journey of learning scripting, and based on what I just read, I'm wondering if there's not a better choice??? Opinions?

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 on my home PC. Since my CD-ROM is an Atapi-IDE type, I decided against ordering the CD and started downloading from the ftp.freebsd.org site onto my DOS partition. I intend FreeBSD to be in a second partition right after the initial DOS one. Everything seems to go along fine, but I get an error message: Unable to transfer the bin distribution from wd0s1 I select try again. It moves along (skipping the bin distribution), and then I get Unable to transfer the doc distribution from wd0s1 Again I select try again, and then get this error message Write failure on transfer (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes) Then the usual Unable to transfer the manpages distribution... This continues on for a couple of more attempts (it now skipped back to attempting the bin distribution), then I get the ominous sounding anic: bad dir syncing disks... 19 19 18 7 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 giving up automatic reboot in 15 seconds This is a novice install, with the X-User package. Now what am I doing wrong? The distribution files are in the c:\freebsd\bin folder, and in the other appropriate areas, as detailed in the FreeBSD handbook. I downloaded all of the files for the ftp directory /pub/freebsd/2.1.5-release/bin, and the other directories. I've read through the chapter on installation several times, but I couldn't find anything to help me here. My computer particulars (those that I know) Pentium 75 MHz, TS54P AIO Motherboard (Intel Triton chipset), 16 megs RAM, Fujitsu M1606TA ATA interface hard drive (1089MB) I have a pre-existing 447MB Primary MS-DOS 6.22 partition (altered to that size by fips.exe utility from freebsd site), and am trying to install on a 248 FreeBSD partition. The rest of the disk is empty, reserved for an eventual installation of Windows NT Workstation (unfortunately held up in shipping, now 31 days and counting... :-( ). I also installed the boot manager that came with FreeBSD. I tried to right down as many excruciatingly boring details as possible to aid in any diagnosis, but if I'm missing any I will quickly provide them. Jeesh! I knew I would have problems installing this, but I figured I would get a _little_ further than this! Thanks for any and all help.

This text is corrupted (it contains \200 characters). But it looks as the file system may have been full after all.

It looks as if you haven't made your file system big enough. I also strongly suspect that you've placed it beyond the 504 MB limit. This won't stop you installing, you just probably won't be able to boot once you finished the installation.

Well, you just asked for one :) I personally find csh based shells to be nice interactive environments. They are also capable of some scripting (simple things, some automation of daily processing, etc.) With time I have switched to sh based shell for heavier scripts, and perl if I have to make some real programs that don't deserve to be written in C.

No, FreeBSD must be installed into a FreeBSD partition. Primary and extended partitions are only for MS-DOS file systems. FreeBSD partitions have the partition ID 165. That's not what the original correspondent was talking about, though. He was trying to mount an MS-DOS partition so he could copy data from it. On the whole, you're better off without MS-DOS. If your CD-ROM drive works, that's definitely the way to go.

This is most interesting thing... I compiled Postgres95 1.05 on FreeBSD 2.1.5 with virtually *no errors*, and now it's up and running (let me see... yes, it still runs). Maybe you forgot to install newly compiled kernel? Oh, yes, and as I see your postmaster tried to get a big chunk of shared memory and got choked. I'd suggest trying to increase maximum size of shared memory (it's an option during compile - I forgot the name). > > Any more suggestions, or do I need to move to FreeBSD 2.2 as Glen Foster > suggests ? Hint : This would be a major pain :-) Don't do this (especially if it hurts ;-). I tell you, it can be done - we may further elaborate on configurations/options/whatnot, but eventually it WILL work.

I aliased the router port to accept 204.118.47.1, and my DNS server to accept 204.118.47.5 requests. For some reason, when the DNS servwer is set as 192.41.77.5, and an alias of 204.118.47.5 is installed, the server will not answer DNS queries if the DNS server is set as 204.118.47.5 in the software. When I change to IP to 204.118.47.5 in /etc/sysconfig, and then alias 192.41.77.5 to the interface. It will answer to queries set to 204.118.47.5, but not to 192.41.77.5. I need the DNS server to answer to both 192.41.77.5, and 204.118.47.5. I don't know why it's not, this is pretty wierd.

Well, the aic7xxx driver in 2.1.5-RELEASE (and subsequent) supports the 274x, 284x, 294x, and 3940 host adapters, and the 7850, 7860, 7770, 7870, and 7880 built-in controllers (in all flavors of Twin, Wide, and Ultra). There is a known conflict with the 7770 and the uha driver. Disable the uha driver if the 7770 isn't detected by the GENERIC kernel. I've also seen mentioned that the most EISA slots configured into the GENERIC FreeBSD kernel is 11 and that some HP Netservers can have more than 11 EISA slots. This can also cause the 7770 to not be detected by FreeBSD. I just checked the source code, the maximum number of EISA slots looks to be 10, not 11. You can raise this to a higher number by changing EISA_SLOTS in sys/i386/eisa/eisaconf.h. Please, someone correct me if I've got this wrong. Thanks.

So you're using routed to do the proper translations. I'll have to poke at routed's docs then and see if I can configure it to do the right thing.

This is a bit of bad news for you since you don;t have a hard disk to act as the CD-ROM's master. The best advice I can give you is one of two: 1. Get a SCSI CDROM 2. Get an IDE disk (doesn't matter which, it can be a piece of scrap metal that speaks IDE) and put it as the master. Configure the CDROM to be the slave of that. However, I think booting will be a bit complex in that setup (having an IDE and a SCSI disk). Look around in the archives, but I think disabling the IDE drive in the BIOS should make your machine continue booting off the SCSI disk, and once it's up, both IDE devices (the disk and CDROM) will be visible. I have no specific experience with Teac CD-ROMS, we only have Creative Labs' here, though I guess that's pretty much the same, unless the Teac is known not to work in any case.

BUT this security-hole only occures if you are a lazy administrator (sorry, i do NOT want to say you are a lazy). I would never ever execute files as root that belong to other users. Doing so is really a security-hole. The administrator has always a simple user-account to play around in the system. It would be my fault when i'm executing unknown programms as root. When i could not resist, i'd do it as the unprivileged user. The other point is that IMHO adding "." to the end of the PATH-variable is harmless. Assume i had a user who wrote a little programm that is able to crash my system and names it "mv"; he saves it to his home- directory and i as root are staying in his home-directory. Even when i type "mv ..." the right thing would happen: "/bin/mv ..." would be executed and NOT "/mv ...". The other way, when "." is the first thing in the PATH, this would be a security-hole introduced by the administrator. Maybe i got something wrong ??? Darius Moos.

It works for me... You can check for how many consoles your kernel is configuring by simple doing: dmesg | grep console I suspect it isn't configured correctly. I'm currently on a machine with options "MAXCONS=8" in its config file, and adding the devices to /dev and /etc/ttys, and then "kill -1 1" (no reboot even...) gave me additional consoles. I might be mising something too though... :-) > > thanks for your help :) > > Agustinus > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 19 02:15:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id CAA03520 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 19 Sep 1996 02:15:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from orion.webspan.net (root@orion.webspan.net [206.154.70.41]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id CAA03494 for ; Thu, 19 Sep 1996 02:15:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (gpalmer@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by orion.webspan.net (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id FAA27036; Thu, 19 Sep 1996 05:12:36 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: orion.webspan.net: Host gpalmer@localhost [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: M C Wong cc: hgoldste@bbs.mpcs.com, questions@freebsd.org From: "Gary Palmer" Subject: Re: odd problem with 2.1R NNTP access In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 19 Sep 1996 12:22:08 EST." <199609190222.AA191889729@hp.com> Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 05:12:35 -0400 Message-ID: <27032.843124355@orion.webspan.net> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk M C Wong wrote in message ID <199609190222.AA191889729@hp.com>: > RFC1373 is about DUAs, how does that affect NNTP ? > Or is it a side effect of RFC1373 implementation into 2.1R ?

Well, I haven't done this on FreeBSD, but I have on BSD/OS (in fact, that's the system I'm writing this on). And I only have 2 displays connected. I'm assuming the same holds true for FreeBSD: > They suggested I get the Matrox Impression Plus or Muleniam cards (I > want to put to gether 2 15" running 800x600 and one 17" running > 1024x768). Why such a low resolution? The Millenium, for example (which I would recommend) offers up to 1600x1200, and even on a 15" monitor 1024x768 gives a cleaner picture. You might also consider if you really need 3 displays, or whether 2 17" displays wouldn't be more convenient. > If I were to do this what would I have to do for FreeBSD to be able > to see all three displays and support them? Install the boards and connect them to monitors. You'll save some headaches by installing only PCI boards and making them all Milleniums.

This has been discussed over and over... Assume that you mistype (well, I do alot, I guess everybody does that once in a while). Let us further assume you tend to write ls-l instead of ls -l sometime (I tend to do that). Now, if the devious user of yours will have a program called ls-l that does something harmful, and then does ls -l, you wouldn't even notice that something went wrong, and his program will be executed because there is nothing called ls-l in the "standard" path that comes before "." in PATH.

I don't have very high expectations about this, but I decided that trying it wouldn't hurt: I have a user with a "dumb" terminal (Visual smthg...) and it is connected without modem control (i.e. all I can do is Xon/Xoff flow control). I know it would be best to use hardware flow control, but I can't get that to work with the cable and terminal I have... :-( Now: Pine has something called preserve-start-stop-characters in .pinerc. Setting that will let it work correctly in that setup. However, I don't know how to tell pico to do the same (it doesn't care about .pinerc at all). The worse part is that I can't even hack it because most of what that user does is telnet to remote machines and use pico *there*. Is there any way to get pico to work in that setup???

We all get busy (in a hurry) and forget the little things! Having to type ./ to execute a currentdir prog makes you stop and think! IMHO lazy people have '.' in thier path!

My problem is, that I would like to set up 1 modem to answer calls so that people who don' t have tcp/ip protocols installed on their machines, would be able to download a file (e.g. trumpet winsock). I can't fiqure out how to configure the modem and the unix box to make the above workable. Hopefully, someone who reads this can help me out.

[the long answer] Devices (or at least *most* devices - ethernet cards are one exception) require 2 things to work: a) The driver must be enabled in the kernel. Where a driver provides facilities for multiple services (or "devices") the appropriate number must be enabled, - and - b) The device files must exist in /dev (created via MAKEDEV which runs mknod, or by running mknod manually). Your "/dev" (devices) directory is the userland "vector" by which application programs talk to the kernel. If an application wishes to use a device - and in this case, I mean /sbin/init, which opens the vts and starts up getty processes on them - then that application will attempt to open the corresponding file in /dev in order to talk to the running kernel. Now, the kernel must have the device, and the appropriate number of devices configured, for that open() to succeed. [the short answer] /sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL (your kernel configuration file) has an option that sets the number of console devices allowed for the kernel at runtime. This effective sets the number of vts that *can* become active. option MAXCONS=n (where 'n' is a number) How many *are* active depends on what you put into /etc/ttys. You can activate up to as many vts as the kernel is configured for, but no more. You're no doubt running a kernel with MAXCONS=4 (check with dmesg and/or /var/log/messages for your startup messages to make sure).

Since I've been completely unable to install from my hard drive, I'm going to try installing from floppies (in case anyone cares). -------------------------------------------------------------------------K.C.

What's more annoying is building a program with a Makefile that assumes that '.' is in the path. If you come across such insanity - even if the program is not intended to be built by root - then send a note to the author/maintainer pointing it out. I should also mention that browsing a Makefile and any scripts used by it is Good Practice. And, of course, noone actually runs make for anything but an "install" as root, do they? :-) (Ok, so a make world on FreeBSD is different - so shoot me :)).

Please be a little bit more detailed, there are several possibilities why you did not get the card working. How does your kernel config file lock like, on what io-port, irq, mem-base is your card configured, are there any conflicts with other cards, what version of FreeBSD are you using, what 3Com Ethernet card are you using,..... You see there are a lot of questions, so again first collect all the information you can get and after that ask a question.

If you simply wish to create a bunch of static routes that occur automatically, then the simplest solution is something like gated. You can pre-determine all your static routes in /etc/gated.conf, so that when a PPP link comes up, you can automatically and individually route other IP addresses down that link. Using subnets is less complex (on the routing side) and ultimately more flexible. In fact, I'm in the process of moving that way myself. Gated's documentation is excellent btw. I can't recall the web address with the current documentation, but the thing comes with full html documentation, very well set out and commented.

The GENERIC kernel recognized my VLB Adaptec (ahc driver), but my custom kernel did not. My kernel wouldn't even compile (error messages about missing ahcdriver). I finally added all the SCSI drivers that were in GENERIC to my custom kernel and it worked. It sounds like a bunch of dependencies got hosed, because I have created many custom kernels (prior to 2.1.5R and 2.2-960501-SNAP) with only the ahc driver and everything worked fine. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.

I found that the BOOTMFS kernel does not support eisa bus... and that it does not build with the configuration file given.. So I fixed those problems.. .and built a kernel.. 2Megs+. So I find kzip and built it.. great.. make install... and no kzip.. hmm.. read the docs and the makefile and find that the shell script kzip.. does not exist. SIGH... Now I got sneaky... booted across the network... and the AIC controller still did not show up... grr.. sent the first mail.. Gregg Discenza gave me the soln.. raise FBSD's eisa slots in eisaconf.h to 12 or so.. rebuild.. reboot.. hey it showed up! So then used sysinstall... no good.. tried to install on the already mounted across the network partitions instead of the local ones. Bummer. So I fdisk and disklabel using sysinstall ( This would be nice as a seperate program! ). and then proceed to install by hand like we usta do with 386bsd. Ok.. installation complete .. or so I think... boot up comes up.. rebuild a kernel with all the gizmos that I want.. including ccd driver... and reboot.. comes right on up! yea!!.. BUT... when I run ccdconfig I get this: branson@toth #ccdconfig ccd1 16 0 /dev/sd1a /dev/sd2a ccdconfig: ioctl (CCDIOCSET): /dev/ccd1c: Inappropriate file type or format Grr... both those partitons are known good...

I wouldn't use the density argument because it's intended to help dump find the end-of-tape on devices that don't indicate end-of-tape. But your HP DAT drive certainly can detect end-of-tape.

Can we create users with more than 8 characters??? The FreeBsd version is: 2.1, and runs in a Pentium PC.

I have to agree, I remember seeing a REXX reference in the commit logs. It doesn't appear to be in either the 2.1.5 or -CURRENT ports trees. It may have been in 2.1.0.

Will this port, in fact, work under FreeBSD 2.1? Well, the port is geared for -current, but it it doesn't take advantage of any new or changed functions, then it should compile.

My guess will be that either: 1) It'll be detected as a AMD K5 or 2) It'll be detected as a 486. #2 is the case with the 5x86 chips.

The 5x86 is optimized 486, and plugs into a 486 socket (I think). The 5k86 is plug-compatible with the pentium. It uses the same MB as the pentium. So I'd guess that it it will be either: 1) dectected as an AMD K5 or 2) detected as a pentium I hope to know in a couple months. I plan to upgrade my MB and the K5 is the front runner.

There was a bug known to the 'flex-dev' team in v2.5.3, whcih caused them to supposedly *pull* 2.5.3 from the archives until it was/is fixed... Essentially, if you are going to install Postgres95, either use Flex v2.5.2 or grab README.flex from ftp.://ftp.ki.net/pub/postgres95, which has a patch to v2.5.3 (supplied by Vern Paxson, flex maintainer).

I am using the FWTK for NAT on this setup. It enables me to run a WWW Browser on my Win95 machine and go out onto the Net. My problem is that I currently have multiple POP accounts and FWTK will allow you to connect to only one.... A solution that I am thinking will get me around this is if a run some sort of a mail package on my FreeBSD machine to get the mail from my various mailboxes and store them on the FreeBSD machines. I would then use a Win95 mail client (Pegasus) to connect to my FreeBSD machine and read the mail. My question is, Is this feasable? Does the Popclient package allow you to do this (i.e connect to multiple POP mailboxes) and retrieve the mail and store it in a format that can be read by a Win95 POP mail client? If it does, how do I set up my Win95 mail program (mailbox, passwd etc) to connect to my FreeBSD machine? If this question has been answered before in a FAQ, a pointer would be appreciated...

I think u meant RFC1323, right ? The same reason is causing me unable to access www.etinc.com and timeout during smtp session. So, does it mean in general the following are true for 2 FreeBSD boxes: 1) Both boxes have tcp_extension enabled and they should talk happily 2) Both boxes have tcp_extension disabled and they should talk happily 3) One has tcp_extension enabled and one disabled and there is no gurantee of the connection ?

Known bug. The boot manager was installed to the second drive, which of course doesn't help. Install it yourself by grabbing the 'bootinst.exe' and 'boot.bin' files out of /tools off of the CDROM or ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/tools. Then run 'bootinst' to put booteasy on. You'll have to do this from DOS. I assume WinNT has the same write-protected boot sector that win95 does.

Thanks If you have a make world problem, then we need to resolve that first. You need to build a new config before you can build a new kernel. You can also use the 'Upgrade' procedure in the install floppy -- just back up /etc first!

You've all been most helpful and informative!! :) I guess I've pretty much decided to look into something other than tcsh, but I'm finding that using when ksh, bash, or zsh, a vi session under an Xterm, or rxvt window has some rather strange behavior! I've been sifting through man pages and reference books I have to try to figure out how to modify this behavior. The thing that is most notable at this point is the effect of my PageUP and PageDown keys. It converts all characters to UPPERCASE. ( of course, you probably already knew this eh? :) :) ) Is there a way to alter this?

Copy the 'papsite' definition from /etc/ppp.conf and use it as the basis for your Advantis profile. You'll have to figure out the exact login (chat) sequence, but this can be done by just logging in manually once and noting down what you were prompted and what you responded with. On some servers you may not even need much of a script -- dialing in is all you need. See the chat(1) man page for details on writing chat scripts.

That depends on a couple of things: 1) Does your ISP have a hard-limit on how long you can stay connected? 2) Does the modem stay idle for more than 5 minutes? #2 you can fix by typing 'set timeout 0' at the ppp> prompt before dropping to terminal mode.

Could you be more specific as to the error messages you're getting, and why you're dropping to single user mode? You have to really break stuff to get it to drop to a prompt right off.

You probably have an ATAPI/IDE interfaced CDROM, which FreeBSD is very particular about. It would be better to try to get this working, but we can stick with the DOS partition install for the moment. > I made the directory FreeBSD under C: and copied /BIN files. > I also later on copied /FLOPPIES files per Tech Support. > Booted up to FreeBSD installation menu, in FDISK Partitioning deleted > Extended Partition and created FreeBSD, used A (AUTO) in labeling, > selected "Wd0s1" (DOS Partition) and proceeded by selecting install > from DOS Partition.

My guess is that you are attempting to install over a previous failed install. This will not work. Use DOS FDISK and delete the FreeBSD slice, then try it again. Install gets confused if parts of the OS are on the disk and you try to install over it.

If you can't find a local mirror in the UK (which should be on the mirrors list in install) you can use ftp.freebsd.org. You don't need NFS for ftp installs; just boot the floppy, use media type FTP, and point it in the right direction.

This is becoming a FAQ. If you wanted the whole system (and I would highly recommend buying the CD if you want the *entire* thing) just download everything in ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE _except_ ports and packages. You'll be there forever if you try to pull the packages. See INSTALL for more info.

Take a look at /etc/ppp.conf.sample. Copy it to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Make a new profile and copy the profile that fits your situation best (PPP/CHAP authentication, or just use 'simplesite').

A SNAP is short for SNAPshot and is a pseudo-release. It's built from the current standing of FreeBSD. Usually they're pretty stable and can have nice new features or what have you. Unfortunately they can be buggy. SNAPS can be had from ftp.freebsd.org, or selected SNAPs are published in limited numbers on CD from Walnut Creek. > How do I install it?

Well, not knowing what the offending hardware controller IS, I can't say if we support it or not. FreeBSD vs. Linux will start religious wars.

Don't worry about the packages directory, the packages installer works for CDROM installs only. Unless you can get your CD working (you may need to move it to the slave position of the first controller) you can copy the packages to your DOS partiton, mount it, copy them over to the FreeBSD side (restoring the .tgz extension) and then use pkg_add package.tgz to add them. > get the Mitsumi recognized...

Try having popclient save your mail to a folder/file instead of dumping them directly in your inbox. Or get a newer version of popclient.

You could either use 'popclient' from ports or setup .forward files on your other mailboxes to point to your FreeBSD machine. I have many mail accounts on many Unix boxes, so I dropped .forward's in them all to forward them all to this account. Now I check my mail once instead of four times :-) > If it does, how do I set up my Win95 mail program (mailbox, passwd > etc) to connect to my FreeBSD machine? You'd have to check Pegasus's docs on that one.

Before I started using > Amanda for dumps, I used this command: > dump 0nubBf 64 999999 /dev/nrst0 Wasting space on the tape here. The default block-size for dump is 1024 and you cannot change it for DAT-tapes. As Joerg Wunsch stated in a mail to this group a few weeks ago, the option "b" specifies only the number of blocks that are written at once on every write-attempt for a dump-record. More interesting to you would be the option "B", that specifies the length of the tape. So for a 2 GB tape you get the following value: B := 2 [GB] / 1024 [bytes] = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 2 / 1024 [bytes] = 2097152 [blocks of 1024 bytes] This will give you the full capacity of the tape. Just ignore the density-option. Also check the mail-archive on this topic.

Not under Win95 and not under FreeBSD-2.1.5. I know it is crashable. For example when initiating two ftp-transfers where both have the same local destination-path and -filename. Under Win95 it is crashable by dragging the netscape-window and moving aroung untill a pop-up-window pops up (like a cookie-alert). After this netscape is dead. This is a Win95-bug (or feature ?) not a netscape-bug since any other applications are also crashing in such a popup-window-situation. Darius Moos.

Everything had been running great in the mail subsytem ever since it was installed more than a year ago as 2.0.5. All of the sudden, tonight one of the e-mail messages with what looks like a proper header was replicated more than a dozen times. I checked the mail logs of both the sending (a Novell GroupWise) and receiving systems and confirmed that the message only came over in one connection. It was properly distributed to two lists on the system, but for some reason, stayed in the mailq and with the same message ID was redistributed every half-hour exactly (the time I have sendmail set to reprocess the queue). Eventually after about 7 hours of this named crashed and dumped for the first time in the history of the system. This then of course stacked up the rest of the system until I was woken up from a peaceful sleep and found 517 messages sitting in the queue -- almost all for nslookup failures (due to the named crash). What I'm dying to know is what caused the same message to stay in the queue and replicate so many times? Here is the header from the message: >From MCCARTNEY@wulaw.wustl.edu Thu Sep 19 20:09:59 1996 Received: from wulaw.wustl.edu ([128.252.251.28]) by server.wulaw.wustl.edu (8.7 .5/8.6.9) with SMTP id QAA11717; Thu, 19 Sep 1996 16:54:24 -0500 (CDT) Received: from WULAW-Message_Server by wulaw.wustl.edu with Novell_GroupWise; Thu, 19 Sep 1996 16:52:30 -0600 Message-Id: X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 4.1 Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 16:42:54 -0600 From: Peggy McCartney To: 1997@server.wulaw.wustl.edu, 1998@server.wulaw.wustl.edu, brogan@wulaw.wustl.edu, williamsl@wulaw.wustl.edu Subject: D.C.

The PCCARD way is very different. Once you get pccardd running, then it should pick up when you insert the card and associate the proper driver with it. Disable the zp0 driver, you won't need it anymore.

You don't want to. It is possible to hack the system up to use 8 character usernames, BUT you end up having to rebuild the whole system from scratch (?). Things break.

If you need to add something that way, boot your boot floppy and mount the filesystems and don't NEWFS them. THen you can add stuff nondestructively.

IMO the C shell is used mainly because years ago it had better command line editing than the Bourne shell (sh), the only other one available. By modern standards, both are outdated, but modern versions of csh are much better. The main disadvantage of csh is that almost nobody uses it for shell scripts (they use sh instead), which means that you need to understand sh anyway if you want to modify existing shell scripts. These include things like the system startup scripts, so you probably will want to modify them at some point. As a result, I'd recommend a Bourne shell compatible. The following sh-compatibles are available: sh - the original, but not genuine. For copyright reasons, FreeBSD may not use the Bourne shell I think the one we have is based on ash, and I've heard of minor incompatibilities. It does now have some kind of command line editing, though I haven't examined it thoroughly. ksh - again, a clone. The main advantage I had with ksh was that it had command line editing. It also has a kind of kludgy file name completion (type in a partial file name, hit ESC twice, and it'll fill in any remaining characters as long as they're not ambiguous). It also has better job-control constructs. bash - This time, the original and genuine, from the Free Software Foundation. To quote Peter Collinson, formerly of BSDI: "I don't think any shell should be larger than the kernel". Well, it isn't any more, but it's quite big. I think it has the best command line editing and file name completion of any shell I've used, and so it's the one I use. It's missing a couple of the ksh job-control constructs, but I haven't missed them. zsh - Yet another one. I've heard indefinite good things about it, but I've never had enough time to play with it.

This is more a question for -questions than -chat, so I'm following up there. I don't think that anybody without UNIX background will get much out of the telnet or ftp sources--maybe that's why he didn't like what he saw in usr.bin. I'd strongly recommend Steven's books, in particular "UNIX Network Programming", published by Prentice-Hall. O'Reilly doesn't have much in the way of network programming books.

Also, there's a good chance that you have more than 4 vts generated--I'd guess 11. Check your /etc/ttys to be sure. I'd expect to see: # ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv8 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv9 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv10 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure To switch to ttyv, where x is a number between 0 and 10, enter ctrl-alt-F. In this example, you'd get to the X server with ctrl-alt-F10. >>> What's unique about console 3? Why should I start xdm there? >> >> The X server selects the first "free" vt to run on. > > Makes sense. In fact, I think you can just omit the line. It's patently obvious that you don't have a getty in it, so ttys doesn't need to know about it unless you replace it with ttyv9 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm" cons25 on secure I don't suppose the cons25 is needed, but if you remove it you'll probably confuse init.

Yes, I think Gary should at least have said *why* it works for him. His /etc/fstab file contains something like /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 When you invoke mount with only argument, it looks in /etc/fstab for *either* the first *or* the second field in each line, and if it finds a match it fills in the other information by itself. Have a look: I'm sure that you have something there, but it might be the mount point /cd0 instead of /cdrom.

I believe etinc.com is : using FreeBSD, but I do get this problem before when I have : the tcp_extension stuff enabled. This works and is like #2 since the extension isn't used if one side doesn't have it enabled. To test whether 1323 is biting you, telnet to the echo port on the target machine. An afflicted connection will echo your first line back quickly but subsequent lines will suffer a 3 or 4 second delay. Disconnect and set rfc1323=0 and see if the extra delay goes away. I'd submit a GNAT report on this but it seems the problem is already known. (if not maybe one of the cognoscenti could say something and I will send in the pr) FWIW the problem doesn't show up with ethernetted hosts, perhaps because the timing granularity is too large for the delay to be noted. Unfortunately where the connection is across something with some delay, likea 110ms RTT slip link, the problem is consistent and easily replicable. There also appears to be problems in the RTT handling in non-1323 connections (unrelated except that it involves similar functionality).

It has all of the features of the Bourne shell (sh) (except, perhaps, speed), and most of the features of the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh), and many features none of those have. It has command line editing like tcsh, or vi-style line editing for those who want it, interactive command recall, a history mechanism that makes sense when you run multiple sessions, and a raft of other features. The one disadvantage is size: text data bss dec hex 225280 12288 45048 282616 44ff8 /bin/csh 270336 16384 44052 330772 50c14 /bin/sh 335872 20480 7236 363588 58c44 /usr/local/bin/bash Fortunately this doesn't hurt quite so much on FreeBSD, you really only have one copy of that 330K text segment in memory, regardless of how many bash sessions you have running.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk After all the work at trying to find a good way to install when having a non standard configuration... I am gonna try somthing new and if it works.. I would be interested in standardizing and possibly including in the next release. There are a number of reasons that we cannot create a boot kernel that is large enough to handle all the differences in hardware. ( arguably we cannot create _any_ kernel to handle the differences. ) however with a running machine, we can create a kernel that will probably work ( unless it is using really weird hardware. ) unfortunately that kernel may be too big to put on a floppy. So I am thinking that a possiblity for large sites would be to create an installation server.. that would netboot a prospective client... and install from there. The advantages are obvious.. we can now mount a much larger space on the client via NFS. We will have more tools available to us to make the install easier... and prettier... we can even use X. So I am playing around with this now. Mainly because I havn't found a better way to do it... but if there is interest... I would be willing to packageize somthing like this up. What I need now though is some information about the current installation process.. what it does.. keyfiles.. locations ..etc.. if anyone has any pointers to this information I would be grateful. -branson ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?

Shared libs both do not save memory in the case of progs like bash, but also slow down fork/exec times significantly. I personally like both bash and ksh. There is a real ksh available for free from Lucent (the old Bell-labs/hardware part of AT&T), that was specifically compiled for BSDI, but works on 2.1.5 and 2.2-current. I think that ksh is a bit smaller than bash also. Both shells are good (IMO.) I can see it now: Shell Wars!!! :-).

Of course ;-), the best shell is ksh (get pdksh from package). It has cursor keys (as tcsh), it has file/command completion (not with , but with - but you can redefine it to too), and it's the standard shell in most modern (commercial) Unices. And of course, with it, you can use the same shell for daily use, and daily programming.

I'm only concerned with how well this will do under FreeBSD, as I don't run anything else. Has anyone compared how well the P6 runs stock GCC 2.6.3 code to a P5 running the same code? My current machine is a P5/100 with 16 Meg of EDO ram, and other than the occasional swap-storm (Netscape) and large compilations, it's as fast as I need. The only reason I'm upgrading is because my wife needs a faster machine for voice recognition. Basically, the options I'm considering are: P5/120 with TYAN Tomcat I MB, 512K PBcache $380 P5/150 with TYAN Tomcat I MB, 512K PBcache $495 P5/150 with TYAN Tomcat II MB, 256K* PBcache $525 P6/150 with 440FX "Natoma" based FreeTech MB $570 * The scuttlebutt about the Tomcat II is that it has problems if you have all three of the following. Clock speed greater than 120Mhz, dual CPU, 512K cache. Other than that, this counts as a neat toy because I'd drop a second P5/150 in there as soon as FreeBSD SMP reaches maturity, if not sooner. Each would include 32Meg EDO ram, and I'd try to overclock each just far enough to get a 33 Mhz bus speed. I expect that I'll see the majority of the speed increase going from 16M to 32M, so any of these will be fast enough to handle my work, it's just a matter of snappyness. Any money I save here goes towards converting my system over to SCSI and getting a tape drive.

I am _not_ an expert with the FBSD config files, but: the list of error you presented suggests that the various if.c, if_ether.c, ... expected some extern(al) variable or function somewhere in another .c or .h file which was not included. I noticed that you had changed very little in your /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file. I would suggest to start over with the original GENERIC file, copy it to /sys/i386/conf/MYKERNELNAME, then remove all devices which you don't need, taking care that you don't accidently remove such "meta"devices like the general sound driver (upon which most other sound drivers are built) - and try again. Maybe this helps. greetings, Leon Aaron Kaplan.

Guess what?! Still couldn't install, same Error messages Occurred. Instructor Who is an Expert tried all kinds of things from FDISK to etc... We gave up on installing from DOS Partition and tried from floppies which worked ok. Since I have Windows 95 installed, probably had something to do with it "per instructor" (never tried FreeBSD installation With W.95 installed).

I have had a few sucessful installations while bopping back and forth from operating system to operating system. Recently I have a stumper.... The configuration is as such: I run a Windows 95 machine that in the past has devoted part of a gig to FreeBSD. Well I added a second gig for solely FreeBSD use so I can run both operating systems on the machine at once with a drive to each. Soo... Machine (Pentium 100MHz, Triton, 16 Megabyte, Onboard I/O Controllers) has: Fujitsu 1 Gig, Master on Primary PCI IDE controller (dos & extended dos partitions) CD Rom (IDE), Slave on Primary PCI IDE Controller Quantum Fireball 1.2 gig, Master on Sencondary PCI IDE Controller (set up using Novice FreeBSD install, was FreeBSD in another machine) Floppies, etc, no SCSI or anything else, only PPP networking Now, here is what happens... It starts up fine, boot selector working, etc. Problem is when you choose to boot disk 2 (FreeBSD) it boots, goes thru detection of devices (haven't tuned out unneeded one yet). It detects everything fine but when it comes to the time to mount the filesystem it says PANIC: Unable to mount root and then goes into an automatic reboot state. What gives... this is the only problem I've had with this software and I figured it had to be a real simple solution that I just overlooked. I have went back and checked the Installing & Running guide to no avail. HELP!

The addresses and interrupts are the same on my machine as indicated here and as the kernel for 2.1.0 The boot process still won't recognize my modem on sio2. Oh yes, I did do the boot -c too. If anyone can help, please respond directly, I had to discontinue "questions" as I am moving soon to Japan. pleas help! Thanks everyone. --- Gary B.

I'm looking for advice on motherboard manufacturers/chipsets to seek/shun. My wish is for a Pentium 200 or better (meaning Pro, or dual-processor, or both) with 512k or 1MB cache. I could make do with 6 SIMM slots but seek 8. I've seen a listing for a Tyan Tomcat II P5 Dual board w/ AWARD PnP BIOS for $1060 (with one P-200 in it). It has the 512k and the 8 slots I want at a price that I can live with. Oddly, I see few other boards advertised that have what I want (but I didn't look that hard). If it makes a difference (and I expect it may) I hope to use the as-yet-undetermined motherboard with a PCI Ultrawide SCSI card (Adaptec), several Seagate 9GB Ultrawide drives, an external DDS2 DAT (model undetermined) and a PCI 10/100TX ethernet card (with sundry other components needed to make a whole system).

As long as it's a bootable partition, booteasy should pick it up. You may have a problem if you're using NTFS on the drive since booteasy may not be able to boot it. Remember that NT comes with its own 'bootpart' boot manager. I don't know how to configure it though.

No, FreeBSD will not run your Windows applications (you may be able to buy a Windows 3.1 emulator though). You'll have to free up space on your disks so that it is unallocated in the partition table -- you can't install into a DOS filesystem. The FIPS utility may be of use.

Well, I couldn't say. Either way, you do need to know about your PC's hardware and be prepared to learn a lot really fast :-) I think you'll like FreeBSD in the long run.

Can you reach it OK from another machine on the same local net? host name should be fully qualified, ie, ns0.techies.co.uk. DNS server should have an IP address not a name. (Sorry, you can't lookup the name server to find the IP address for the name server.)

You can hack popclient (I did it recently for other reasons). The other option is to use the -a flag to popclient (v3.0). This will force popclient to fetch all your messages, and it will not use the LAST command. If your friend is beta-testing this POP server, you might want to tell him about your problem. I suspect, although I may very well be wrong, that Eudora can be caused to issue the LAST command as well. Try setting "leave mail on server" and see if Eudora sends a LAST. >I'm using=20 >FBSD 2.1.5 >popclient 2.something, and popclient 3.0bsomething >Thanks in advance! >Stephen L.

It has the following format: :0 [flags] [ : [locallockfile] ] Conditions start with a leading `*', everything after that character is passed on to the internal egrep literally, except for leading and trailing whitespace. These regular expressions are completely compatible to the normal egrep(1) extended regular expressions. See also Extended regular expressions. [snip] Flags can be any of the following: [...] $ Evaluate the remainder of this condition according to sh(1) substitution rules inside double quotes, skip leading whitespace, then reparse it. So... perhaps try something to the effect of: ====snip==== LOCALDOMAINS=(blah.com|blah.co.za|blah.org.za) :0: * $TOjsmith@$LOCALDOMAINS /home/jsmith/mail/personal ====snip==== That's just a guess from the manual, though. Look at the man pages and maybe there's an example somewhere. The man pages for procmailrc(5) and procmailex(5) look helpful. The other thing is that that expression for LOCALDOMAINS looks weird.

We were actually quite impressed by the installation program which auto detected the SVGA card, SCSI adapter and EtherNET card. However, after filling in the EtherNet connection info, it bombed out on us (both in active and passive modes) with an Error 11: "I'm Dead". The connection is to a DHCP server, which automatically assigns IP addresses, and such stuff. At least under WinNT and Win95 (for which we have it set-up and runnning effectively) we only must specify that the server will assign an address, and run netscape, and it comes up fine. (We do have an IP address number, but at least under WinNT and 95, we don't have to specify any of that gateway information or anything... If you have any ideas on how we could get this thing up and running, we would very much appeciate it.

I believe that what Doug's suggesting is to use .forwards on two of your three accounts to forward to the third account. E.g. if you had accounts ajohn@cyberforge.com ajohn@foo.com anil@bar.org You would put a .forward in your ajohn@foo.com and anil@bar.org accounts that forward your POPmail to ajohn@cyberforge.com and then just pick up email from that account via FTWK. >That was part of my original question..How should I retrieve the mail >from my remote mailboxes and store them on my FreeBSD machine such >that a Win95 client on a ethernet connected second machine can read >the stored mail? Pop Client or POP Server? If you do want to pick up mail from three separate accounts using your freebsd box, and then use Pegasus to pick up the mail from the freebsd box, you'll need the following: 1 Windows POP3 client (see Pegasus) 1 POP3 server (see popper in ports) 1 POP3 client (see popclient in ports/package) 1 scripting language of your choice (see perl(1), sh(1)) Directions: Install and configure POP3 server as per directions. Install POP3 client. In a scripting language of your choice, use popclient to connect to your popmailboxes and get your email. Have popclient deliver this email to your system mailbox, at /var/mail/. Set your Windows client to use your freebsd username and password, and to connect to your freebsd machine for POP mail. Configure FTWK to allow the connection on the POP3 port directly to your FreeBSD machine, instead of using a proxy to the outside world. Run the script which does pickup every time you want to get your mail (or every time you connect your PPP session). Anyway, that's the basic idea, I think. Stuff: 1. It's a security risk to leave your pop account passwords sitting in the script on your freebsd machine. Probably not a glaring one, but still a hole. You can configure the popclients to take your password from stdin like passwd and su and the like (this is what I do). 2. You may have problems with popclient delivering to /var/mail/, although I don't think so. I don't think popclient flocks the mailbox it uses, which means if something else tries to deliver at the same time, your mail is probably hosed. Deliver to temporary boxes, then use a program that understands mailbox locks (procmail? formail? a perl script?) to do the delivery from these boxes to avoid this potential catastrophe. >Anil >___________________________________________________________ >CyberForge Group LLC * Internet Consulting >E-Mail: ajohn@cyberforge.com * WWW Publishing >410-597-8139 * LAN & WAN Integration > URL: http://www.cyberforge.com -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 20 22:02:58 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA22870 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Sep 1996 22:02:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from al.imforei.apana.org.au (pjchilds@al.imforei.apana.org.au [202.12.89.41]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA22816 for ; Fri, 20 Sep 1996 22:02:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from pjchilds@localhost) by al.imforei.apana.org.au (8.7.6/8.7.3) id OAA22357; Sat, 21 Sep 1996 14:32:54 +0930 (CST) Date: Sat, 21 Sep 1996 14:32:54 +0930 (CST) From: Peter Childs Message-Id: <199609210502.OAA22357@al.imforei.apana.org.au> To: ROBERTC@PII.COM (Robert Clark), freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: NAT, Web Proxies, SOCKS, etc??

You don't specify the version of FreeBSD you use. I've seen this in 2.1.0, and I suspect it might be a bit different in 2.1.5, but the bottom line is: Build a kernel, and make the configuration file have line that reads: config kernel root on wd2 To make that kernel you'll have to temporarily move the disk to another position (to get it to boot...). The best I think would be to put it on wd0, do the complete installation, make a new kernel, change /etc/fstab, and then connect it as wd2. The other option is have the root partition on the first disk (I don't think Win95 will miss those few MBs). Again, I went into the subject in 2.1.0 days. If it has changed in 2.1.5, please someone, correct me.

The problem is that many times the CD will only be recognized in the slave position, and to make it slave you'll need a disk to act as master. So what you should try is: 1. Try it as the master on the primary controller or master on the secondary controller (some people report that this may work. Never did for me thoguh :-(. 2. Get yourself either a SCSI CD-ROM or any IDE disk (can be a piece of scrap if you're not going to use it). If you have a SCSI CD, you should have no further problem. If you got yourself an EIDE disk, connect it as the master on the primary controller and the CD as the slave. You may want not to tell your BIOS about the EIDE disk so that it will not try to boot from it. You may also want to post your the exact model of the CD and the IDE controller you use, so you may find people who have experience with the exact same models. > > > Julian Sassenscheidt / Hamburg / Germany / Linux-Kernel 2.0.0 > Internet E-Mail: julian@spitfire.lav.de > WWW-Homepage: http://www.lavielle.com/~julian/julian.html > PGP Fingerprint: A9 22 AA 78 7E FB 47 D4 ED 4B 78 6B 18 F5 D7 ED > > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 21 03:04:25 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id DAA14348 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 21 Sep 1996 03:04:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from agora.rdrop.com (root@agora.rdrop.com [199.2.210.241]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id DAA13680 for ; Sat, 21 Sep 1996 03:03:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bfs2.ug.cs.sunysb.edu by agora.rdrop.com with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #17) id m0v4Oto-0008uYC; Sat, 21 Sep 96 03:03 PDT Received: from public.ug.cs.sunysb.edu (public.ug.cs.sunysb.edu [129.49.15.7]) by bfs2.ug.cs.sunysb.edu (8.7.5/8.6.9) with ESMTP id FAA17737 for ; Sat, 21 Sep 1996 05:52:45 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from mcnichok@localhost) by public.ug.cs.sunysb.edu (8.7.5/8.6.9) id FAA19254 for questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 21 Sep 1996 05:52:34 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sat, 21 Sep 1996 05:52:34 -0400 (EDT) From: Kenneth McNicholas Message-Id: <199609210952.FAA19254@public.ug.cs.sunysb.edu> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: hannu sndserver Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to get sound working for XDoom under FreeBSD.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm tryng to a attach my Lan to an existing intranet using, as a router, a ppp dialup connection. I would like to give all the hosts on the Lan access to the outer network altogether, and, as a start, I've choosen to run Rip. The ppp router is the standard FreeBSD user implementation, connecting to a SunOS pppd 2.1.2 - but that's just coincidental and I think it doesn't concern my problem. In order to allow the external routes to be passed on through the ppp link and viceversa, I'd have to inform rip running on my Lan about the existence of a distant gateway, located on the other endpoint of my ppp connection, ppp0 interface. Also, in a similar vein, the Rip on the intranet has to know about the routes to my Lan through a distant gateway located on the FreeBSD, tun0 interface. So I have to write the relevant entries in the two /etc/gateways file on the two router machines. MY PROBLEM: ----------- The distant gateways set in the /etc/gateways of both machines, don't seem to work - I mean the proper routes are not installed. That happens even if I set the passive option in the /etc/gateways files. This situation changes only if, while the ppp connection has been winded up and the endpoints are talking each other, I kill and restart the routed processes on both machine. In fact only then the distant gateways are aknowledeged and Rip does its work. Needless to say that, at the first reboot of one or of both machines, the problem arises again. MY SUSPECT: ----------- The distant gateways can't be inserted in the Rip routing table, because they reside onto a dialup interface (tun0 and ppp0 respectively), that does not actually "exist" until the link is up and operational. But if that true, what's the solution? Maybe, especially when using dialup interfaces, installing gated instead of routed ? Thank you, and sorry for my long story.

Secondly, I ws wondering what version of Netscape for Linux you all recommend running (I just want the Linux version for the Java support..). I downloaded 2.02 because it's a.out and I'm assuming that's where the best emulation is on FreeBSD (I'm running 2.2-SNAP-96.08.01 BTW). But I remember that the -CURRENT branch was also working on elf support for FreeBSD as well, and before I spend 3 hours trying to download the netscape-v30-linux-elf.gz I thought I'd ask if anyone is running this sucker and how successful they've been. Finally, when I do run the v2.02 linux a.out Netscape, I get this when I start it: mark:{102}/home/mark % resolv+: "hosts" is an invalid keyword resolv+: "bind" is an invalid keyword and when hit a Java page the following occured: [1] Bus error lnetscape It core dumped.. (I call it lnetscape so I can keep using the 3.0 bsd version as well) Any clues about why it dumps when it hits java? Is there something extra I should do to get it working? And of course, the first error mean I can only open pages by IP number instead of by name. Rather annoying.

I would recommend NOT using the Linux version of Netscrape at all. Use the BSD version. It supports Java just fine. You can download the BSD version from ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/navigator/gold/3.0/unix/netscape-v30-export.x86-unknown-bsd.tar.gz Untar the file, install the "netscape" executable in /usr/X11R6/bin, install the files "java_30" and "movemail" in /usr/local/lib/netscape, and run cd /usr ln -s X11R6 X11 and you should be all set.

At least not where someone would find it easily. Josh needs to install the compat20 dist to get that lib. A few packages were mistakenly linked against the libgcc library, and unfortunately one of them was emacs, which most everyone (?) installs right away. (BTW, XEmacs was also linked against the libgcc lib, *and* the Motif lib! And about every other X utility was linked against newer X libs from 2.2, and so you get warnings every time you run one of them that you're using outdated libs. Dare I say that 2.1.5 was rushed?) The only people who will have problems with the missing lib are those who installed a clean system from the 2.1.5 CDROM. If they did an update install, then the lib is already there, naturally, from the 2.1 or 2.0 system. keith.

For example, the associated .data and .bss are not intimately linked with the application, but with the rest of the shared lib. The shared libs contain lots of excess routines, and when you fault pages in, you are many times getting data and text that you simply do not need. When a COW fault occurs on a shared lib .data page, you are likely only going to need a small part of that page. For some interesting info, look at the /proc/XXX/map file in -current. Since your shell runs with many concurrent invocations, your .text will be fully shared amongst the various shells, and the .data and .bss memory footprints will be smaller than if they were linked with shared libs. IMO, shared libs are mostly useful for a couple of reasons... Processes that run with few concurrent instances, disk space savings, and very large libraries where the advantage is significant (like X-windows libs.) IMO, Shells are not the best choice of programs to link with shared libs... X windows programs are on the other hand, very good choices of programs to link with shared libs. Other programs are somewhere in between.

This is a freshly installed 2.1.5 system, off the Walnut Creek CD. The machine is quite vanilla: 386DX-40Mhz, 16meg, 1 3.5 floppy, NE2000 NIC, serial IO card, generic VGA card, and the adaptec cards. I've done a series of kernel builds, and flipping the various switches on the new board, with no discernable results. In all cases, devices attached to the second adapter are not recognized. The boot probe message is "(aha1:0:0): timed out" "(aha1:0:0): timed out AGAIN" This continues for all devices (1-7) on the second controller, and takes about 10+ minutes. Tedious... It will eventually get thru all the devices, and then proceed to boot normally. The kernel config parameters I've got set are: # adaptec 1542cp mostly out of the box configuration, # plug-and-play disabled, floppy controller enabled # bios enabled, this is the boot controller controller aha0 at isa? port 0x330 bio irq 11 drq 5 vector ahaintr controller scbus0 at aha0 device sd0 at scbus0 target 0 device st0 at scbus0 target 3 # new controller, adaptec 1542cp # plug-and-play disabled, floppy disabled # bios disabled (doesn't make any difference...

Hmmm. That's what I've been running, but I didn't see any Java. I'm now downloading the "Gold" version, to see if it fixes the problem. From the grinding of my hard disk when I hit a Java page, it almost seems like Java is running but it isn't being displayed! Is this possible? I'm running the August 2.2 SNAP and use the Accelerated X server from Xinside on a Matrox Millenium video card. Pentium Pro system.. I'm a bit puzzled but I've heard of some problems to do with Linux versions and various X server configs. I'll keep you posted if I make any progress. -Mark ------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | C-Soft www.quickweb.com | ------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.

You can make the changes permanent (until the next reboot) by using stty to change the settings of the /dev/cuala0 device. cuala is used as a 'template' for settings; modifying it modifies all future references to /dev/cuaa0.

Before you get started, are you aware that any mail traffic is logged as /var/log/maillog? It grabs only selected information (from,to,date,msgid,etc), but may be helpful in your case.

Hm. Sounds like bad memory or processor cache. Can you build anything else successfully? Do programs spontaneously crash with bus errors (sig 10) or segmentation faults (sig 11), especially under heavy load?

Jump over to the ALT-F2 debug screen and see if there is any additional information there.
