I am successfully running Java in my Netscape window, as well as in windows spawned by Netscape 3.0. I have a Matrox Millenium, as I'd imagine most of the other AccelX folks do. I'm at 8bpp, in case that matters (I'll probably test 24bpp later on). If you're getting that class error, I'd suggest installing that directory that's mentioned in the Netscape README (also mentioned here in -questions), if you haven't tried that already. On an unrelated note, I'd also like to report that Abuse for Linux is pretty fun, and runs both successfully and quickly on 2.1.5R, even at 640x480. It requires 8bpp to run. I am impressed by the speed on the X server. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 6 01:54:49 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id BAA26235 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 6 Oct 1996 01:54:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from lib.amu.edu.pl (bogusz@lib.amu.edu.pl [150.254.100.254]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id BAA26219 for ; Sun, 6 Oct 1996 01:54:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bogusz@localhost) by lib.amu.edu.pl (8.6.12/8.6.9) id IAA19948; Sun, 6 Oct 1996 08:56:46 +0100 Date: Sun, 6 Oct 1996 08:56:45 +0100 (MET) From: Bogusz Jelinski To: Jack Wenger cc: questions@freebsd.com Subject: Re: X won't Fire In-Reply-To: <199610031752.MAA28853@mendota.terracom.net> 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 Thu, 3 Oct 1996, Jack Wenger wrote: > Hi All > I just installed (yep, a newbie question) FreeBSD 2.1.5 (walnut grove > cd-rom) and got it to run fine.

Try putting the other disk on the chains end and change termination. I had for example terminaton problems, when putting a CD-ROM at the end of the SCSI bus ... So perhaps the terminators of your one disk might not be ok or such ... Make really sure, that you terminate both ends of the chain and *only* both ends. Controller -- has automatic termination feature ... perhaps change settings in the SCSI adapter settings from auto termination to simply Enabled ! The disk in the middle of the cable must not be terminated. The disk at the end of the cable has to be terminated. Look, there are two things ... - scsi termination - scsi termination power SCSI termination power usually comes from the SCSI controller if I remember right, this jumper doesn't need to be set on the SCSI disks ... But the one which enables the BUS TERMINATORS !!! So double check this ... Look especially, where Pin1 is in the diagrams and on the harddisk !!! ;-) Shit happens ;-)) Ah ... and enable SCSI parity checking ! And perhaps limit the SCSI transfer rate to 10MByte/sec for the first time and when things start running raise the speed to 20MByte ... That's it, good luck !

Did you see it under System V? In any case, this (traditional) method of copying is no longer necessary. cp has an -R option which says "recursively copy subdirectories", so instead of (cd /usr/local; tar cf - .)|(cd /mnt; tar xfv -) you can write cp -pR /usr/local /mnt The -p option has the same meaning as with tar: keep the original permissions. >> Take a look at the disklabel(8) man page for details. > > Wasn't this covered by the handbook ?! Or wasn't the recommendation. > to use the /stand/sysinstall program, that has an easier handling ?! I've seen too many people shoot themselves in the foot with sysinstall on a running system. There's another message floating around in -questions at the moment which says that it core dumps. What we desperately need is a 'diskadd' program which bases on sysinstall, but which performs appropriate checks and functions for a running system. Unfortunately, nobody's got round to doing it yet. I wrote a new section on using disklabel for "The Complete FreeBSD", and somebody has offered to change it to HTML. I suppose I should tidy up the text and give it to him. Watch this space.

Can anyone > give me an Idea of how to extend te /var file system? I'm not sure if I understand this question completely. A file system is a file system: you can't spread it across two file systems. Let's consider what you might want to do: 1. Move /var to your new disk. That's straightforward enough. Modify your /etc/fstab to contain something like /dev/sd1e /var ufs rw 2 2 This assumes that your new disk is sd1, and that you've put the space on partition e. If you currently have /var mounted as a separate file system, modify the existing entry. Before you mount the disk as /var, you'll need to move the current /var stuff. First, mount the disk on /mnt, a general-purpose temporary mount point that you should have on your system: # mount /dev/sd1e /mnt Then copy the data across: # cp -pR /var /mnt Then *rename* /var, create a new /var, and mount it: # mv /var /VAR # mkdir /var # mount /var The reason for renaming /var to /VAR is that you won't be able to delete the old files after you've mounted a new file system on top of it. On the other hand, it's a good idea to keep the old contents around for a while until you're sure that you don't need them any more. This way, when you're sure that everything is OK, you just need to enter # rm -rf /VAR 2. You want to split /var between two file systems. For example, you may want to put /var/spool on the new disk, and leave all the other files where they were. In this case, you repeat (1) above substituting /var/spool for /var. If your current /var is a symlink, use the real directory name for the mount point. I hope this answers your question. If not, please let me know.

When it asks for hsync type 4 (which is Super VGA 800x600 56Hz) then type 1 (vsync 50-70) - it will let you concentrate on your card. What is written on the card's chip? During the Xserver startup there should be some info about it. Configure it as VGA16 at 640x480 After that edit your XF86Config and check if the resolution is set correctly, reduce the virtual resolution, check the VideoRam (1024 = 1MB) and the like. Try the above and let me know if you're still in trouble.

The solution is easy - run startx (or xinit) instead of X, which is a symbolic link to the Xserver. Remember to add /usr/X11R6/bin and /usr/X11R6/lib to your PATH. You can provide your own .xinitrc in your home directory, if you don't like the default one (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc). Have you run /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config?

Here's a working ppp setup you can use as a guide! # /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, derived from handbook.txt default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 38400 set parity none disable lqr deny lqr # NOTICE!! set dial line is WRAPPED!!!! # Unwrap to: 'TONE TIMEOUT' set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER ABORT NO\\sDIAL\\sTONE TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" isp: set phone 1231234 set login "TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: Pusername word: password" set timeout 0 set ifaddr 0 0 dial # end of handbook stuff # /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR A bit about the format of these files! (Quote from man ppp) o Each line contains one command, label or comment. o A line starting with a `#' character is treated as a comment line. o A label name has to start in the first column and should be followed by a colon (:). o A command line must contain a space or tab in the first column. This format is vitial! If it's not as stated it will not work! The login script seems to be the most troublesome so A bit about the 'set login' line. (script) The first thing is: How do you invoke ppp on your ISP's system?? As the above samples are, ppp is invoked by the first character of the username, ie: Pusername Each ISP does it differently! I'll *try* and explain this line! set login "TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: Pusername word: password" TIMEOUT is set to 10 seconds, Thus it'll wait 10 seconds for each of the following to become true else fail. ogin:-\\r-ogin Pusername wait 10 seconds for the word: ogin: If not recieved within 10 seconds send a CR and again wait 10 seconds for the word: ogin: If not recieved in 10 seconds fail! If recieved send: Pusername and go on to the next one. (P = Invoke ppp, username = duh) word: password wait 10 seconds for the word: word: send: password, else fail! it is CASE SENSITIVE! so if your ISP's login prompts are not the usual: Login: Password: prompts you need to change the line to match! An example is: Login: PassWord: Note the capitol W, That will cause the above 'set login' script to fail! change it to: set login "TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: Pusername Word: password" -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== 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"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter 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. 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. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: > Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! > > If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, > you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command > in the body of your email message: > > unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey > > Here's the general information for the list you've > subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: > > FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions > This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not > send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the > question to be pretty technical. Normally, it's even simpler than that: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this means that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, and you can't figure out what it could have been, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that 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: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. 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. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. If you do all this, and you still 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. To summarize, 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 2.1.5 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

I have user PPP setup to dial between two FBSD machines. The login process works just fine. I do get the correct prompt "PPP ON mercury>". I can do a show ipcp and see the ip number given to my machine is correct. When I switch virtual consoles and try to ping the other PPP end no packet ever makes it through. When I switch back to the PPP console and do a "show proto" I can see the ICMP packets go out but nothing has come in. Both machines have GATEWAY=YES in SYSCONFIG, and routeflag=-s like the handbook says. BTW without routed running in cannot even ping the local PPP address. My routing tables do look correct. My home machine gets a default route to my work machine. I am guessing that I missed something simple. I followed the handbook as closely as possible. Any help would be appreciated.

I read the man pages, and I'm having a bit of trouble. In the man pages it says Additionally, a request is honored only if the server (i.e., the host that rarpd is running on) can "boot" the target; that is, if the directory /tftpboot/ipaddr exists, where ipaddr is the target IP address in hexadecimal. This getts me, I dont understand why you need to have a /tftpboot/ what is it for? It makes no sence to me. If I do need to have one, then what do I put in it? Does it just sit there? The address of the machine that will be requesting is 192.168.40.1 so should I have a directory /tftpboot/C0.A8.28.0b It just sounds weird to me, if someone could explain why and if that is correct.

I don't know about System Commander, having no practical experience. But the disappearance of wd1 is odd. I guess the ASUS is reassigning the 'second disk' designation (0x81) to wd2 and since there are no bootable disks at that location BootEasy doesn't show a f5 prompt. Odd.

I have upto 300 users in my 2.0.5, how can I convert them to the new > system, I mean, especially the password or some more important file? I just ran the 'upgrade' procedure in sysinstall. Here is my handy-dandy guide to upgrading 2.1 -> 2.1.5 using sysinstall: Quick checklist: 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE HOSED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (but you can skip XFree86 if you installed it from 2.1.0 -- there are no changes) and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. It's changed a bunch this time around and it's too much pain to hack in the new changes. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local. Note that httpd is no longer started from sysconfig. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

Hmmm, but could it just be booteasy not allowing more than 2 disks that are defined in the system? ASUS isn't reassigning the 'second disk' since it still shows up as wd1 when FreeBSD boots and the 'third disk' is known as wd2. I wonder how did other people boot FreeBSD from a drive other than the first if they had more than 2 EIDE drives?

Huhu Greg ... what Du you say now ?! ;-)) Well, as you know, we went through this in some detail yesterday. Of course, I didn't think to change my umask (in fact, I was paying more attention to the change of user and group that you had led me to expect). In any case, you're right: if you have a non-0 umask (which I don't), it will be applied to all the permissions unless you supply the -p option. Thanks for fighting this one through.

Only one another problem: if I remember well, cp cannot handle hard links (somebody've written a question about it!). If you try it on /stand, you'll get a hundred different files, instead of hundred hard links. So, it's better to use this one.

Almost there, but not quite. You grab the sources (ALL of them), edit UT_NAMESIZE in .../include/utmp.h and rebuild everything. After the installation you might want to remove /var/run/utmp (i think) and reboot. Remember that xterm probably will also need recompiling! So will anything else that even looks at the utmp!

We are in the business of sending (and assisting in sending) commercial (and noncommercial) email to people who are *not* offended by the receipt of these messages. Unfortunately, due to many experiences (many of which were out of our control) we have had some problems accomplishing our goals without upsetting some people. We are truly sorry about that fact, and we plan to "clean up the streets" as best as we can. Some people have been under the impression that all email that appears to come from cyberpromo.com, is from Cyber Promotions. That is not true. Most of the complaints that we have recently received have been in reaction to people who have "autoresponders" and "virtual email addresses" on our system. In that case, their mail would have referenced an account on our system, but originated from a different site. Unfortunately, software like Pegasus enables their mail to appear as if it came from us, driectly. But, their true origination is still evident in the headers. You can determine where it originated if you know how to decode headers. But when doing so, remember that Pegasus, for example, actually logs into *our* sendmail. At this time, the only messages that originate from Cyber Promotions, use our proprietary Cyber Sender 2.1+ protocol which will always be indicated in the organization: header. Due to these "look alikes," it could appear that recipients' remove request were being ignored. WE DO NOT IGNORE REMOVE REQUESTS. We now also maintain a "master" remove list of people who have asked to be removed from all commercial mailing lists. If you have received an email from "Cyber Sender 2.1+", our new proprietary transport agent protocol, then the remove features *do* work properly, now that all of the bugs have been fixed (uppercase and lowercase now match, too). No mail is allowed out of our system, if the recipient's address is in our master remove list. We currently have over 1.1 million email addresses in that file. If you wish to add your address to that master remove list, you can do so in two different ways. 1. You can send an email to remove@cyberpromo.com and type "REMOVE ALL" in the subject or message field. Our systems will automatically permanently remove from our system the email address from which you sent your request. 2. You may also send an email to manremove@cyberpromo.com and type as many email addresses as you wish in the body of the message, each on its own line, without any comments. The subject line is ignored. That address will also permanently remove the addresses. Please note: we have no control over mail that originates from other sites, that travel through our SMTP (relay-host) servers. We will simply terminate any accounts that we maintain, that is referred to in their abusive mail. ATTENTION PRODIGY MEMBERS: It has come to Cyber Promotions' attention, that some of you are having a major problem removing yourselves from our lists. This can be attributed to the "alias" that your outgoing mail may contain. If you are having problems, please send an email to manremove@cyberpromo.com and type both of your email addresses in the body of the message, each on its own line, without any comments. The subject line is ignored. You probably have one address like xazd35r@prodigy.com and another address like sanford@prodigy.com. ATTENTION PIPELINE MEMBERS: It has come to Cyber Promotions' attention, that some of you are having a major problem removing yourselves from our lists. This can be attributed to the "alias" that your outgoing mail may contain. If you are having problems, please send an email to manremove@cyberpromo.com and type your email addresses in the body of the message, each on its own line, without any comments. The subject line is ignored. You should type your email id followed by the following THREE domains. @usa.pipeline.com, @pipeline.com, @nyc.pipeline.com. Even if you feel that your address is definately only one of the three possibilities, you should still remove all three addresses (each on its own line). ATTENTION INTERNET USERS: It has come to Cyber Promotions' attention, that some of you are having a major problem removing yourselves from our lists. This can be attributed to the "alias" that your outgoing mail may contain. If you are having problems, please send an email to manremove@cyberpromo.com and type your email addresses in the body of the message, each on its own line, without any comments. The subject line is ignored. If your email address could contain an alias like mail.domain.com or if you may have more that one email address that points to another email address, you should remove them all. If you wish to remove *every* email address in your domain, please contact us, and we will "grep" out every possibility. REVISED TERMS OF SERVICE: (We are also looking into the possibility that we may be forced to adopt the policies of our backbone providers. For the time being, we are emulating their policies as best as we can while matching the needs of our operations.) 1. We do not allow postings to inappropriate newsgroups with reference to your account because such postings result in *MUCH* more negative response than positive. 2. We prohibit the advertising of offensive material (ie. pornography, weapons, etc). 3. You may not use the account to participate in illegal activities. 4. Our TOS strictly prohibits the sending of mass commercial emails to INTERNET addresses, unless expressed permission has been granted to you by the recipient. In addition, you *must* honor all requests for removal from your mailing list in a diligent manner. Our service can be used in conjunction with advertisements that you place with a bulk email company other than your own or us, as long as they follow the same guidelines. 5. Cyber Promotions reserves the right to terminate any account for any reason at any time, without notice. If you would like to send a complaint about any account @cyberpromo.com or @answerme.com or @omni.cyberpromo.com that has not been terminated, please send email to: wallace@cyberpromo.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 7 09:17:59 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA08802 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Oct 1996 09:17:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from toth.hq.ferg.com (pm1-07.wmbg.widomaker.com [206.161.154.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA08788; Mon, 7 Oct 1996 09:17:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from toth.hq.ferg.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by toth.hq.ferg.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA10386; Mon, 7 Oct 1996 12:06:13 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 12:06:13 -0400 (EDT) From: Branson Matheson X-Sender: branson@toth.hq.ferg.com To: kajtzu@iug.org cc: erik@il.ft.HSE.NL, questions@freebsd.org, Jos.Vissers@telebyte.NL, isp@freebsd.org Subject: Re: User name length limit increase In-Reply-To: <199610071534.SAA02235@final.dystopia.fi> 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 Mon, 7 Oct 1996, Kaj J.

Yes it might break some things.. and yes you should know what you are doing when you do this.. but its dumb to limit youself just because legacy code has a problem.. most other OS's have made this change.. and I do NOT see why we should not. If legacy code is the problem then lets FIX it. Beyond that .. I have made this change on three machines before.. and yes I had to re-compile code for it to work... but if we do it on a RELEASE with all the packages re-compiled.. It should work. and It does work for me... raidusd works with long usernames, yp works too.

Thats what I have to do after using term mode to connect to my ISP and have started a PPP connect. In my case, I have to use term, as I haven't been able to make sense out of the ppp.conf or get it working properly. Can't even get it to dial. So I use term mode to start up PPP. The last command is the add 0 0 HISADDR at the prompt. If I don't do that, I have no route. Once that is done, everything works. So I think that may be what you need to do. The same thing happens to me if I don't. Sounds exactly what is happening in your case. Good luck!

The 8-character-length was from the days when virtually no one saw the need for more than a few computers total in the universe. Times have changed. To the core group and other OS gurus, and whoever else may be interested, I pose this question: couldn't the 8 be changed to, say, 64 without causing any hassles anywhere?

There must be a way to let all of the new, eager entrepreneurs with dollar-signs in their eyes to co-exist with the rest of us. Probably the largest part of the problem---well, maybe equivalent with the near gridlock---has to do with junk mailings like this one from ``Cyber Promotions.'' Sometimes a civil rap on the knuckles works. I don't think this junk mail is one of those. Eventually, I expect the larger net community will circle their wagons and come up with one solution; or a small subset. Until then, however, we need some kind of filter (for those of us who run Elm) or a procmail script (for whoever has that set up). The filter or script would bounce any junk mail back automatically marked: RETURNED-UNREAD. Anybody on the list familiar with procmail scripting? Have any other, better, easier solutions?? gary kline > From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 7 12:08:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA19067 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Oct 1996 12:08:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freon.republic.k12.mo.us (root@freon.republic.k12.mo.us [204.184.196.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA19039 for ; Mon, 7 Oct 1996 12:08:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from rholland@localhost) by freon.republic.k12.mo.us (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA00874; Mon, 7 Oct 1996 14:07:33 GMT Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 14:07:33 +0000 () From: "Sys.

The new kernel seem to work with the following exceptions: 1) on boot I still have to specify the drive root is on like: 1:wd(2,a)/kernel I setup the drive in my config file like this config kernel root on wd2 and nothing different happens. It still looks on wd0 for root. Am I modifying the wrong thing? 2) Sense I started booting the new kernel, I've been getting really wierd page_faults at random times. There was also one incident where the shell stopped responding and the message Out of Swap Space or something like that kept popping up. Then all sorts of processes just started terminating en mas. Did I do something REALLY wrong? I've included the config file that I built the new kernel from. Thanks...

Don't try using an old machine to save money. BSD don't like old hardware. 2. Don't try using fips.exe to create a BSD partition on an existing DOS/NT disk on a new machine to save money. The install gobbles up the boot sector and you'll have to fdisk it out, reformat, and re-do all the DOS and NT stuff. Finally, after I forewent it all and got BSD installed (on a new machine by itself), it says my 3com 3c5098 network card has a 10Base2 adapter for the lo0 (gets the ep0 right as a 10BaseT) so that $1800 adapter and the $400/month dedicated ISDN line are just overpriced night lights. Couldn't figger out how to break that cycle, so never got on the net and, consequently, have yet to achieve a successful install of BSD. Windows NT marched out without a hitch on the same machine. I even have a DOS tcp-ip stack (with packet driver) that runs beautifully on it. But from what I can tell this BSD will be incredible when and if I can get by all these little problems. Yes, I bought the WC cd-rom and read the whole book. 10BaseT is never once mentioned that I can find.

I spent 1 week trying to determine why an Exabyte 8mm tape drive would not work under Freebsd 2.1.5 or Windows95 with an Adaptec 1742A. Symptoms ... : Freebsd 2.1.5 would properly recognize the tape drive upon boot and could read tapes, but not write tapes. Attempting to write the tape would cause SCSI bus lockup ( a hard reset is required ). Windows95 could recognize the tape drive with various backup programs ( Arcada, etc ). However, attempts to write the drive would lock up the SCSI bus. Unlike Freebsd however, the drivers under windows 95 could recognize the bus problem and would reset the SCSI bus. I would really like to know how this is done. Solutions : The Adaptec 1742A bios/microcode was not up to date. My card had the following designations on the bios/microcode eproms : 450113-00 D MCODE B7D6 450216-00 A BIOS DC00 Downloading the latest bios/microcode from Adaptec's web page fixed the SCSI bus hang condition. There are two firmware updates on their web page. The firmware file named 174XA.EXE has a corrupted bios file. Do NOT use this firmware. The firmware file named 174XAS.EXE has the more recent bios/microcode and is not corrupted. Please make sure that you use the same EPROM types/speed as the original board uses. Please note that the bios revision number that is displayed at boot time does not change ( maybe microcode is the only thing changed ? ). I do not know what was wrong with the old bios/microcode as Adaptec's on line documentation on the firmware upgrades was nil/non-existent and I never heard back from their technical support. Also, the switch settings on the MX controller card for the Exabyte tape drive need to be tweaked. The card was set for fixed block size mode. The best setting is variable block mode. The parity checking was disabled ... this needs to be enabled if the rest of your scsi peripherals have parity checking enabled ( like mine ). Remember, parity must be ON for all devices, or OFF for all devices on the same scsi bus. Another useful thing to change is the memory check during scsi bus reset ( or power-on reset ). It takes about 60 - 70 seconds to complete this test and this will delay your DOS/windows95/unix boot until the test is completed. If you change this setting to disable this test, boot times are greatly enhanced. Note: reaching these switches is a pain in the butt. For the switch settings, please see the Exabyte web page at http://www.Exabyte.COM/TechnicalSupport/ProductSupport/answers/in0111.html I want to thank those of you who responded. I especially want to thank everyone at Exabyte for the following reasons : 1) Exabyte actually supports old products. Their web page is loaded with information about older out of production stuff. They even provide invaluable DOS based tape drive test programs. Every firmware revision is thoroughly documented so that the history is evident and you can evaluate if you need to upgrade your current firmware. Most tape drive vendors only have info on their current products in their web pages. Believe it or not, I actually decided to purchase an Exabyte 8mm drive instead of other vendors 4mm drives due to their support for old products. After spending 3 weeks browsing web sites, BBS sites, old product reviews, etc ... I decided on Exabyte. 2) Exabyte actually responded to my email about the problems I was having. This is in stark contrast to Seagate and Adaptec from whom I never heard anything. In addition, the support personnel at Exabyte are well trained and knowledgeable. Many thanks to Lance Blumberg at Exabyte !!!. Thanks to everyone who responded ... - Steve Bartling P.S.

Agreed :-) 64 characters is a bit excessive.. but 32 would not be.. for the same reason as that mail alias.... this compnay has 5000+ associates and I have many occurances of people with the same name so anything I can do to make it idiot proof is a good thing... for instance my name has 16 characters in it.. branson.matheson@ferg.com would be nice and easy to remember.

It can make a big difference in non-obvious ways. Have you told your boxes to be nfs client(s)/server(s) as necessary? I suspect that your problem isn't that the portmapper isn't working, but that the program it wants to talk to (nfsd on a server) isn't there. Look at '/etc/sysconfig' - set the appropriate nfs client and server flags to 'YES' and reboot. Then try again.

How about having the traditional 8 char limit on usernames but modify adduser to automatically prompt for an email alias when adding new users. Have the email alias automatically added to a userdb and have sendmail already configured to do lookups in this userdb.

Basically, you want to do the same things, but from a command prompt using fdisk and disklabel. Not from sysinstall; I think. I'm a newbie to FreeBSD myself, but I think thats the idea.

First, do 'show modem' at the ppp prompt. Make sure it is selecting your port where the modem is connected. If not, do a 'set device cuaaX' and 'set speed xxxxx'. Then 'term'. Here, you can type a command to your modem to dial. ATDTwhatever the number is. Hope that helps....

The install boot floppy has a pretty good doc with it, and you'll find it complete enough I would expect. The only question might be the authentication stuff. Otherwise, its pretty much prompt'ed and fill'em in. It works, but the main site is really very slow at times. I couldn't seem to get an installation going except from the main site, but that might have been me.

If you have the CD, why not install from the CD instead of the net? Oh, well, you can't get the CD to work ... I have not installed from CD before, but I imagine that somewhere near the top of the file structure will be the README files: HARDWARE.TXT INSTALL.TXT KNOWNBUG.TXT README.TXT RELNOTES.TXT which I imagine you can obtain when you mount the CD from Win95. Read these files. The INSTALL.TXT document contains a fairly detailed section on how to install over ppp, if you still want to go with that route. Otherwise, I believe the ATAPI driver wants the CDROM drive to be the slave drive of the secondary IDE controller (a second IDE controller running on irq 15). -- James From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 7 17:33:42 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA13013 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 7 Oct 1996 17:33:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wedge.its.utas.edu.au (cp_nairn@wedge.its.utas.edu.au [131.217.10.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id RAA13008 for ; Mon, 7 Oct 1996 17:33:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from cp_nairn@localhost) by wedge.its.utas.edu.au (8.7.6/8.6.6) id LAA09831; Tue, 8 Oct 1996 11:32:39 +1100 (EST) Date: Tue, 8 Oct 1996 11:32:38 +1100 (EST) From: Carey Nairn X-Sender: cp_nairn@wedge.its.utas.edu.au Reply-To: Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au To: yura@um.u-tokyo.ac.jp cc: questions@freebsd.org, yura@is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp Subject: Re: question In-Reply-To: <199610070721.QAA18927@acrux.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp> 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 Mon, 7 Oct 1996, YURA Shunsuke wrote: > I have some questions about FreeBSD.

Not sure about the game devices except for the joystick, there is a joy0 device you can compile into your kernel I think... The SB card should work with the SB16 drivers.

I had > to continually exit and go back in. The latest version is 3.0-RELEASE. I've been using Netscape betas and now 3.0Gold-RELEASE without a problem. Today, one of our users had this same exact problem. Why did he get the problem and I didn't? We were both using the same system, a 2.1.5-RELEASE system with Netscape 3.0Gold-RELEASE. I have a local account on the system as deischen that I use to do root things. This system also uses NIS and AMD to a Sun Solaris 2.5 box. The other user doesn't have a local account on the system, so he was logged in with an NIS user ID/password. I also have an NIS user ID and password, though I don't use it as much as I should. When I logged in with my NIS user ID, I got the same exact "out of memory" problem. This system is a P166 with 64MB RAM, with 75MB partitioned swap and another 64MB of vnode swap. It's sharing a directory via NFS to 5 machines, and is a samba server, but it doesn't have any memory problems that I can see. It's also got a load of disk space with all partitions having a lot of room to spare. The NIS account home directories are automounted and there is plenty of disk space for them too. I got really curious and started poking around with ktrace/kdump to see if I could figure it out, but wasn't able to. I noted that Netscape writes its mail file to /tmp before sending it. This was fine - we all had rights to /tmp and I could see the file being written and then deleted. Using kdump, I could see the SMTP session with our SMTP server - everything looked fine, except when Netscape got around to issuing the "DATA" command to the SMTP server, there was no mail (no characters at all) after that point. Whatever it is, it doesn't end up issuing the mail to the SMTP server. I also tried using Netscape from my local account while remotely logged in, at the same time another person was logged in with an NIS account. He had the "out of memory" problem with Netscape, while I had no problem at all. What does using NIS/AMD have anything to do with Netscape mail? Is it a per-user limit that's getting hit somewhere?

All you need is X installed on your FreeBSD machine.

We already have sendmail looking in a userdb for mail aliases and shadow domains but some users just can't be made to understand that their username is not the same as their email address. Besides, we are migrating from Linux to FreeBSD and because Linux does allow long usernames we already have exisiting "long users".

It seems that this might be more easily done than wholesale conversion to long user names. Why shouldn't you have as many names for a user as you can stand (without additional entries in /etc/passwd)? The system would report the unique eight character passwd userid in the "who utilities" and logs reducing the need to deal with formatting issues. Of course that is yet another database in /etc that would have to be maintained but it could be optional. I'm sure there are other issues that would have to be addressed but it would be pretty useful.

There are also a number of Web pages around that people have created. Mine are available under http://www.primate.wisc.edu/people/dubois/mklinux. As you can guess, they describe setting up netatalk under MkLinux specifically; however most of the information should be fairly general-purpose, and the pages contain pointers to other good sources of information. netatalk allows you to make UNIX file systems visible to Macintosh clients. You can also make printers on an AppleTalk network available to the UNIX lpr system. (I.e., netatalk is something like Samba for Macintoshes.) -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu Home page: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/people/dubois Software: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 8 05:19:57 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id FAA22334 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 8 Oct 1996 05:19:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from iaehv.IAEhv.nl (root@iaehv.IAEhv.nl [194.151.64.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id FAA22190 for ; Tue, 8 Oct 1996 05:14:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kant (pm2d18.IAEhv.nl [194.151.70.51]) by iaehv.IAEhv.nl (8.6.13/1.63) with SMTP; pid 16686 on Tue, 8 Oct 1996 14:14:28 +0200; id OAA16686 efrom: walter@IAEhv.nl; eto: Message-ID: <325A45D1.446B@iaehv.nl> Date: Tue, 08 Oct 1996 05:15:13 -0700 From: Geert-Jan Plattel X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (X11; I; IRIX 5.3 IP20) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: hard resident memory limit?

It is recognized and everything. We use this memory to grab about 115 Megabytes of videodata, using the appropriate MatroxMeteor driver. That's all ok. I got rid off the limits like memoryuse. Nevertheless the system always ends up swapping the pages I need so badly. Quick grabbing is made impossible by this. Is there some hard limit? I don't know how to alter those. I couldn't find it in the documentation. I can only mlock as root? Is this normal? Can and should I change this? As root I can only mlock about 14 MB. Then some 'magic' limit of 40MB is reached. Why? Where can I change this limit? To provide a 'live'display of video, I have the XSHM running. And the grabber driver needs mmapped pages to drop the frames. I tried to mmap the shared memory from the XImage to the video grab board. This way I can XPutIMage the framedata directly without doing an extra bcopy? But this never works. Is there some permission problem? Thanks in advance.

Cyrix says that the algorythm that determines the type of cpu was completed before the Cyrix 6x86 processors were ready. They recommend using the BIOS to make sure of the cpu type you have or to get one of these programs that correctly determines the cpu type.

I have a Compaq 133Mhz Presario #4706. It has 2.5MB hard disk and an 8x IDE CDROM (I don't know which brand).Also has Windows95. I bought the Walnut Creek 2.1.5 Aug '96 release. It didn't have the ATAPI.flp files mentioned in the book. So, I went back to the 2.1 release which I had successfully installed on another machine (dell w/ atapi). One of the reasons I bought this machine was that I thought a popular, mainstream machine would make an easy BSD install. Yes, I checked the archives (for hours!). Lot's of similar questions but no answers that I could find. Here is the problem. Running the install either from CD or 2.1 atapi.flp, after specifying the install parameters (disk partition,x11 preferences, etc.) when the install program asks for install medium and I specify CDROM, it tells me it can't find the CDROM device. Anyone able to help here? Pleeeze!

Make sure that the CDROM is connected as the slave on the primary EIDE controller. Look at the boot messages and see if it is being recognized (it'll say something about atapi and wcd0). If not - try moving it to the master position on the secondary controller. In any case, have the CD loaded when the machine boots. Sometimes it matters. > Anyone able to help here?

Pleeeze! The atapi boot function has been combined into the regular boot floppy, you'd don't need a special one. The atapi support in 2.1.5, I believe is beta quality. The hint that I've seen, over and over and over on this mailing list is: Put the CD-Rom on the primary IDE controller as a slave. I don't have any atapi, so I don't know any more than this. A couple of other things. The list is a little down on Compaq. There are unspecified PCI bus problems. I have two Compaq's now, and they seem to be working fairly well know. The built-in SVGA (Deskpro 2000) with a Sony monitor, causes a ton of fallout on the screen when moving a window in 1024x768 mode. Other than that, its a nice machine. -- Paul T.

Compaq has never been a "mainstream machine" as far as (hardware) compatability is concerned. I have worked on these (*^^%))$%^(&^% for years, and they have some great features... esp. if your a dealer. ($$$$$). Woe to the end user who wants to run something other than MS-DOG/WINDOZE or WINDOZE95. The "standard answer" when trying to use a presario on a _REAL_ network is... "We don't support the presario on that network." Call em, tell them you want to put it on a Novell, UNIX, Banyan, or other similar network... See if I'm right on this :-) My best suggestion is gather all the hardware info you can, and try, try, try... If you purchased from a really good dealer, maybe he will take it back... If so, box it up, and get thee a clone. I do wish you luck, and if you manage to get it going, please write a howto or FAQ for others...

I've been seeing additional problems while running under DOS with my 3C590 card - for instance, my X windows emulator will tell the server that the client connection has been accepted, and then never open the window on the screen. Under Unix (FreeBSD), it dies after a handful of packets, and 50% of the time, requires a reboot to get the card back to a level of sanity. Does anyone know if 3Com will readily admit to these problems, and if they have any plan for replacing the so-called "defective" cards?

To what kind of computer where you talking? FreeBSD boxes have trouble talking to Linux boxes due to some interaction problems between the talk daemons. Also, I've found if one side is using 'ytalk' then you'll get a line of control characters and you won't be able to talk. ytalk + talk are not compatible.

I am attempting to install FreeBSD 2.2 960501-SNAP on an Intel-clone 80486 DX2-66. I have three physical Drives, which for various reasons have five DOS partitions on them. The slave physical Drive on the primary EIDE controller has enough unallocated space for a 650M Free-BSD partition. I am performing the installation from the primary DOS partition on the master physical Drive on the primary EIDE controller. This appears to work fine, but I do not have FreeBSD on floppy or CD. I am installing FreeBSD onto the second physical drive, so I use the "C" option during the "create-partition" phaze. Everything appears to function correctly. I request that the installation procedure install your FreeBSD boot manager. When installation is complete, and the reboot occurs, the boot manager fires up as I would expect. Option "F1" is listed to boot DOS which does in fact work properly. However, *no* option appears to boot FreeBSD from the non-DOS partition on the second physical drive. What am I doing wrong?

If I use pkg_add witht the ftp option (I generally use the primary site) it will say at some point that it is retrieving the index, and then present me with a list of available packages. In particular I've been looking for rz/sz and fwtk. They are both listed as available packages, but I always end up with a message stating that the package is not available. Is this normal? I would assume that the Index is being read for the list of packages, and that if the index states a package is available, it is... If not, is there a listing somewhere on the web/ftp site of reliable sites to download source from? Thanks, Charles ps- FBSD has made me very happy.

The mount appears to succeed (i.e. there are no error messages from mount), but when he tries to access the file system, he gets the message 'stale NFS handle'. The behaviour is the same whether he tries to mount the file system on a BSD/OS box or a FreeBSD box. In the other direction (NFS mounting a BSD file system on the Linux box), everything works fine. The Linux kernel revision is 1.3.20, and he doesn't know any further details on the Linux side. On the BSD side, FWIW, he's running FreeBSD 2.1.5 and BSD/OS 2.1.

Reply-to: sue@welearn.com.au Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.42) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks My first post so of course it's full of questions, sorry :-) I installed FreeBSD from CD to a second SCSI disk 6.5 days ago, then read everything in sight (handbook, faq, man, o'reilly), rebuilt the kernel, set up ppp, xwindows, etc. No probs at all with the hard stuff because it's pretty well documented. But the little things are driving me berzerk. Pick a question: Sometimes I can't access all the commands, and sometimes I can, and I can't find a pattern to it. When the _first_ login after booting is _root_ on console _one_ there seems to be no problem. Or is this just coincidence? I know it's a FAQ. I searched the WWW site for half an hour and found many prior questions on this, but no answers. To be able to su root, do I just add my name to wheel in the group file? I did this and rebooted, but it didn't seem to work properly. The installation material implies that right after install you can and should use su, but that's far from the case. How can I set the prompt (to username and/or working directory... any damn thing other than the machine name)? I'm using tcsh for myself (set up with sysinstall's facility) and the default as root. I've systematically edited and retried every dot file in my dir and can't make it change. The files in /etc that look relevant are blank except for comments. I believe I shouldn't change root's shell, but I'd like a command history. Is there any problem with simply logging in as root then typing tcsh? If that's ok, would it also be available (or advisable) in single user mode? And if not, how does root erase the "[" or "]" that remains after accidentally pressing the up-arrow and erasing most of the resultant junk from the command line? How do you install the ports or packages which auto-request the files by ftp? It doesn't seem to initiate ppp so I ran user ppp first, connected with my ISP, then ran sysinstall. Whoo! Screen went blank and keyboard locked until I switched the modem off. Is this the wrong procedure or a misconfig? Minicom is very badly behaved. I think it's terminal emulation problems. I've set it to vt100. Funny characters appear on screen, and Minicom keeps responding with its signature (Minicom v.xxx...) and strings that look something like "Muummuunnnuy!nnnnumy". Even when I first told my console to use vt100 instead of cons25 (through tcsh for me, and also during the root login question) it didn't help minicom. Not having a viable zmodem further insulates me from the non-Internet world, but that's another issue. Is minicom being silly or am I? What's _the_most_proper_ way to stop everything before turning the machine off? I could not find anything written about this!! Surely turning the power off is not kosher :-) Should I use shutdown or halt? (Indeed, how was I to know that these commands existed?) They don't seem to do a great deal, or leave me in single user mode ready for login, not knowing if at that point it's safe to turn off power or not. This is a most serious omission in the reading matter, or I need new glasses. What's the deal with MFS? I reckon I don't need half of my 64 megs of ram so it'd be useful as /tmp. Am I reading this right? If so, what's the syntax to tell the kernel how much ram MFS can have? I think it's taking the lot (because I didn't say how much) and that might be a bad thing, so I've unmounted MFS though there were no ill effects while I was feeling bolder. I was naughty and set my swap to only 70 megs. If I donate 32 megs to MFS (if that's how it works) then I guess 70 is fine. Otherwise I know it's no good. Which device will explode in my face if swap is only half its suggested size, and will I still be alive to ask you more questions? My preferred text editor is joe. I found a copy and extracted the contents. Having no idea what I was doing I typed 'make' and found an executable which I put in bin and a .joerc which I put in my own dir. So far it works but am I playing with fire? TIA if you can help with any of these. I'll return the favour one day.

That's not right, unless your partition table was corrupted OR you didn't have any free slots on the table. I don't know just what NT does, if it really musses up FAT disks or not. > Finally, after I forewent it all and got BSD installed (on a new machine > by itself), it says my 3com 3c5098 network card has a 10Base2 adapter > for the lo0 (gets the ep0 right as a 10BaseT) so that $1800 adapter and > the $400/month dedicated ISDN line are just overpriced night lights. This is a case where you need to use the -link2 option on ifconfig to point FreeBSD in the right direction. Although it should autodetect it if there is something plugged into the 10baseT slot. > Windows NT marched out without a hitch on the same machine.

FIPS, well, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I've found it's better to bite the bullet and buy the disk, that way you don't have to mess up your existing FS and makes setting up the disk easier (just tell the installer to use the whole disk).

The SECOND HARD DRIVE in the system, yes. (I can't remember if it must be on the primary controller or not.) The THIRD DRIVE no. The BIOS contains two identifiers for boot disks: 0x80 and 0x81. These are assigned to the first two disks found (except on some scsi controllers which can control which designation is put on each disk).

Is minicom being silly or am I? Yes, I have problems with minicom also. It does work fine as a vt100 but only from the command prompt. Doesn't work at all for me when using 'xminicom' (ALT anything does absolutely nothing). Trying to run 'minicom' in an rxvt session (which works flawlessly under Linux) also does not work on FreeBSD. Doesn't matter which shell I'm using in the rxvt either (I've tried all of them that I have installed). >What's _the_most_proper_ way to stop everything before turning the >machine off?

With tcsh, the prompt can be configured by setting the shell's $prompt variable. I have mine set to '[%m (%l):%~]%# ', which has the following result: [minbar (ttyp1):~/Mail]> for normal users [minbar (ttyp1):/home/cobbe/Mail]# for root (if you do an su) (The tty section is useful when I'm using virtual consoles cause I have 6 under Linux and tend to get lost fairly easily.) Check out the section on the prompt shell variable in tcsh(1) for further info and lots more % codes.

Paul, i found the same thing to be true about driving on the "wrong" side of the street when i was in england. 3 weeks to doing solved that problem. perhaps you know how to do all these things in Linux and are not happy having to relearn Unix. fvwm, memory utilization, ppp, console, (dont use minicom) all work under FreeBSD. if you just want a desktop box, use whatever you want. if you want the most robust, cost effective, networking computer use FreeBSD. different needs, different solutions jmb ps. what's the most heavily loaded linux web|ftp server you have heard of? can it do 115GB a day? 2.5MB/s all day and 1.3MB/s all night? and still not break a sweat ;) -- Jonathan M.

Because minicom and fvwm95 were written for linux and were ported/hacked to FreeBSD. Use what you like. If you like having toys and don't mind poor scalability & stability (Do you know any ftp.cdrom.com-sized Linux boxes?), then use Linux. If you want a serious _server_, use FreeBSD.

I could be wrong, but I think that this is because the binaries in question are ELF format, and I presume you're running this on 2.1.5, which doesn't have ELF support in it. 2.2current does have ELF support, so you may need to run that, or port the ELF stuff to 2.1.5 (which is not for the faint-hearted, I'd imagine, although if you do get it working, I'd like to mooch off of you :) ).

This sounds like your paths are not set the same on your root and non-root shells, and possibly differently in the sh compatible ones and csh compatible ones. The best way to diagnose this is by typing the following commands, and seeing which work and which don't: date -- this is in /bin ping -- this is in /sbin man -- this is in /usr/bin iostat -- this is in /usr/sbin When you notice that some commands don't work, check the PATH environment variable (setenv in csh/tcsk, set in bash/sh), and type the above four commands. Note which ones fail, and compare them with the information in PATH. You should probably also check /usr/local/bin , which is where most other stuff gets put. Try tcsh -- it should be in /usr/local/bin . >To be able to su root, do I just add my name to wheel in the group >file? I did this and rebooted, but it didn't seem to work properly. Yes. You do not need to reboot for this change to take effect, but you need to make sure there are no spaces and that each entry is separated by a comma, like so: wheel:*:0:root,bkogawa >The installation material implies that right after install you can >and should use su, but that's far from the case. I almost always prefer using su (specifically, su -m) because it preserves my environment and nice prompts. :) >How can I set the prompt (to username and/or working directory... any >damn thing other than the machine name)? I'm using tcsh for myself the tcsh man page has some information on this. man tcsh, then look for page 66 (use the /66 command from the pager). Examples that work with tcsh: put one of the following in your .tcshrc : set prompt="%B%~%b %# " # prompt will be in the form "~/rest/of/path > " set prompt="%B%n%b %# " # prompt will be in the form "username > " Personally, I use this: set prompt = '{%m} %B%~%b %S%T%s %l %# ' which looks like this: {foo} ~ 20:08 ttyp2 # However, the path (represented by ~) is bolded, and the time (20:08) is inversed. >(set up with sysinstall's facility) and the default as root.

And if not, how does root erase the "[" or "]" that tcsh will not always be available in single user mode unless you statically compile tcsh and put the statically-compiled tcsh somewhere on the root partition. I recommend just typing tcsh when you need it, and learning how to use csh and sh (it's not horribly different than tcsh if you're just typing in stuff). As far as erasing the "[", it's a pain. Generally, I just hit Control-C and start the line over. >remains after accidentally pressing the up-arrow and erasing most of >the resultant junk from the command line? >How do you install the ports or packages which auto-request the files >by ftp?

For ports which do a remote ftp, I usually telnet to my shell account directly, ftp from the remote account to my local account, then ftp from my home machine to my shell account and download the file, then su to root and move the file into /usr/ports/distfiles by hand. This is generally more efficient than trying to ftp to somewhat dodgy sites via a direct connection over PPP, although I realize that many people don't have shell accounts nowadays. To install packages, I download the package via ftp from ftp.freebsd.org, then use pkg_add to add it. Note that you must be root to successfully run pkg_add in most cases. I noticed that you are located in Australia. This brings two things to mind: 1. ftp.freebsd.org may not be the best site for you to use. Look for an Australian mirror of FreeBSD for packages. 2. I would guess that using a shell account on a full-time connected machine would help even more in this case for sites outside Australia. >Minicom is very badly behaved.

The problem with too little swap is that programs may use up all of swap and then "run out of memory" (especially big ones like X). I believe that if this happens, new programs trying to run fail, and old programs asking for more memory are killed. I could be wrong. >My preferred text editor is joe.

[...] This should work, but has disadvantages, specifically: 1. It doesn't sound like you installed the manual pages. You might want to look for them and toss them in /usr/local/man/man1 . 2. Some programs require libraries or other data files which they expect to be in some location. If you don't install these, the program might not run or may run poorly, or run, but without certain features (a good example are help files). Many makefiles include an "install" operation which will try to install the proper files in the proper directories. Generally this install must be done as root (unless all of the directories you've specified to install to are writable by you). To do this, su to root, then type "make install" from the same directory you made the original binaries. Note that the above make install can run arbitrary programs as root. If for some reason you do not trust the distribution of files you have received, I recommend checking the Makefiles carefully. 3. It sounds like you installed joe in /bin . This isn't forbidden, but many people consider it better to put locally installed and maintained things under the /usr/local directory, so that you know what things came with the operating system and what didn't. In this case, the directory to put the executable in would be /usr/local/bin . 4. You can also look for a port of joe. I think there's one around. Generally packages install in a freebsd-directory-format-friendly manner, and install most relevant files (although I've noticed that user guides often get misplaced in packages). -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 8 20:31:05 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA00772 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 8 Oct 1996 20:31:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from atlantis.nconnect.net (root@atlantis.nconnect.net [206.54.227.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA00767 for ; Tue, 8 Oct 1996 20:31:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from arabian (dial199.nconnect.net [206.54.227.199]) by atlantis.nconnect.net (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA06213; Tue, 8 Oct 1996 22:33:46 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199610090333.WAA06213@atlantis.nconnect.net> From: "Randall D.DuCharme" To: , Subject: Re: Login message Date: Tue, 8 Oct 1996 22:29:58 -0500 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk It's in /etc/motd. ---------- > From: Joe Schulz > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Login message > Date: Tuesday, October 08, 1996 8:02 PM > > Is there a file with the login/welcome message (the one that tells all > my users that the installation program can be re-run by typing...) > somewhere that can be edited, or is it built into the kernel? > > Thanks- From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 8 20:35:15 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id UAA00909 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 8 Oct 1996 20:35:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id UAA00903 for ; Tue, 8 Oct 1996 20:35:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA02847; Tue, 8 Oct 1996 20:34:54 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 8 Oct 1996 20:34:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: Vladimir Loiterstein cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Instalations problems with keyboard and cdrom In-Reply-To: <32593258.caf@mail.caf.estnet.ee> 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 Mon, 7 Oct 1996, Vladimir Loiterstein wrote: > I have 5x86/133 computer with 8 MB RAM, 1.2 GB WD E-IDE hard disk, > NEC IDE CDROM and sound card Gravis Ultrasound with 1 MB RAM. > > 1.

I have read the code and I found a call to NETISR_SET(NETISR_IP,ipintr) in the file ip_input.c. Does this call "register" ipintr as the function to be called during the interrupt? I also have "followed" this macro to DATA_SET and the to MAKE_SET after which something called "asm()" is called. Could anybody explain me what does this function does?

When you install FreeBSD, it gives you an option of installing a boot manager on a partition, pick yes, and away you go. From then on when you boot up, your last OSO chosen will be your default, and you can override it with an F key.... Good luck....

They've got the budget, so I recommended two servers that can serve domains concurrently. I'd be interested in hearing how people have/would implement this. My thoughts so far would be to: a) Use a powerful box as the main server, with a backup box mirroring sites and ready to take over should the main one go down. -or- b) Use machines of equal power, using a DNS entry with multiple A records to shuffle requests back and forth. Opinions appreciated, including ways of detecting a downed host and taking over (ifconfig aliasing) IPs of a machine that has crashed.

Unless you are prepared to use a system like a Stratus and co-locate the machine in a telco-grade facility complete with generators, I wouldn't promiss "NEVER." A fully (99%) reliant system, figure 10K per month minimum for service and 250K minimum for hardware. Now, if what they want is a "better than the other guy" setup, yeah, you could do that with mirrored systems but you'd better be multi-homed because even UUNET has semi-regular outages. Good luck and be careful what you promise. Even NYNEX frame relay which is about as reliable as it gets was out twice during the last six months. (One time for nine hours) BTW: Considering most people connect to web servers via flaky modem dialups, it's kinda pointless to build a excessively high availability system for general public use.

If you wanted to learn UNIX from the inside out, setting up a FreeBSD box would be the way to do it. If you have no intention of learning UNIX, then stick to your Win95 box. You can get Netscape and a bunch of other software for FreeBSD, so crossing over net apps isn't that bad. It gets bad when you try to find a good word processor like Word; you can't get them (for cheap anyway). > P.S. I have heard of another Unix-based operating system called Linux. > Could you tell me about this OS and compare/contrast it to FreeBSD? Linux is another such free UNIX-style OS. FreeBSD prides itself on rock-hard stability, something that is hard to find in any Linux version. However, Linux tends to be the first to get drivers for new toys, like the QuickCam -- until someone ports them over to FreeBSD. Luckily, we have a nice central repository for all ports with one-command-installation of many helpful programs. Try that on Linux. :) The FreeBSD vs Linux question is pretty religious -- use what you like.

You posted this to the ISP mailing list, therefore you are doing *EVERYTHING* wrong. You should be running INN instead and if you have problems with that 95% are answered in the excellent INN FAQ and the rest can be discussed in news.software.nntp NNTPD is only intended for very small news servers.

You were probably using the 3.1.2S (release) libs, and the beta's have upped the minor version number on the various X libs (Xaw, Xlib, etc). ld just makes the mention that the versions are off in case you're interested. It doesn't appear to have any effect though, and if you pull down the libs from 3.1.2E (beta) that should fix it.

Well, almost. I (re)installed the fwtk not long ago, and it doesn't really work out of the box. TIS wants you to mail them a letter confirming you've read their license before you can install, so they hide the fwtk in a directory with a cryptic name that changes every 12 hours. Go to their site, read the README, do what it says, and you'll be mailed the location for the fwtk. Then, modify the makefile for the port to get it from the correct directory. > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > > From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 9 00:23:20 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA26757 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 00:23:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from foo.primenet.com (ip029.lax.primenet.com [204.212.59.29]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA26743 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 00:23:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bkogawa@localhost) by foo.primenet.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id AAA17331; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 00:28:34 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 9 Oct 1996 00:28:34 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199610090728.AAA17331@foo.primenet.com> To: camaro@erols.com Subject: Re: Setup...

I don't know if there's a way to change the modem from sysinstall, but the following should work: When you insert your boot disk, at the prompt, type "-c" and hit enter. This will bring you to the configuration manager. In the communications section, you should see your com ports, with IRQs and memory addresses for sio0 and sio1. disable sio1 (which is equivalent to com2), and use sio1's addresses on sio0. This should let freebsd see com2 as com1. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 9 00:26:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA27700 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 00:26:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from foo.primenet.com (ip029.lax.primenet.com [204.212.59.29]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA27650; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 00:26:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bkogawa@localhost) by foo.primenet.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id AAA17392; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 00:32:00 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 9 Oct 1996 00:32:00 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199610090732.AAA17392@foo.primenet.com> To: danf@server1.bisnet.net Subject: Re: Problem setting up nntpd Newsgroups: localhost.freebsd.questions References: From: "Bryan K.

The first is a 2.1.0-RELEASE and the second a 2.2-960801-SNAP just installed. The two machines are on a subnetted (0xfffffff0) class C (Thin Ethernet) network. An FTP between the two machine has a transfer rate of an astonishing 3-4Kb/sec and so I suspect (not verified) any TCP connection that transfer large amount of data. Both of the machines show a transfer rate of 600-1000Kb/sec when the FTP is done from other systems (Windows95 and SCO). Oviously this is not a demostration that the local Ethernet is OK, but is a very little (one single short segment) thin Ethernet. I would like to know if anyone observed this behaviour in other situations and eventually what problem may cause this situation. Thank, Peppe.

I've been trying to install UNIX of some type for a while with no success. Upon buying a new computer I took my old one, an IBM Valuepoint 486/DX2, 24mb Ram, 2 hard drives - not all that shabby, and began preparing it for UNIX. I first bought a RED HAT Linux OS, but was completely unable to get it to recognize my cd-rom. Someone told me about FreeBDS. I bought a copy and have began trying to get it installed. I've tried every reasonable install option in the view menu-install from dos w/ide cd-rom, install from floppy w/ide cd-rom, install.bat, nothing works. The problem is that, after what I assume is building a kernel, it goes to a screen - Welcome to FreeBSD - with a list of options:Usage, DOC, and all of the various install options:express, novice, etc. The problem is that at this point my system seems to lock up - no keyboard, no mouse, nothing. I can't even soft boot. Any ideas? My configuration is: one ide hard drive with a single dos partition (including the primary) one ide hard drive with a partition for dos, and a large unused space which I hope to use for UNIX. Just for this install I bought a tape backup, backed up the drive, reformatted it, leaving the large unused, unpartitioned segment for UNIX, and reloaded. The keyboard is Enhanced, the mouse is PS/2 my cd-rom is a Reveal GCD-R420 If anyone has any ideas on how to get this thing to work, I'd be grateful.

For me (and many others I guess) thus *only* works as the slave on the primary IDE controller. For some, it works as the master on the secondary controller.

I suggest trying to run your program like: ./a.out Note that a.o won't run. You want to compile your program like: cc -O -g -o foo foo.c This will optimize your program, make it so it can be debugged easily, and also produce a binary called "foo".

Back in The Good Ol' Days (tm), when all of the chips on your motherboard were socketed, we used to call this procedure "Easter Egging", as it was akin to finding a hidden Easter egg hidden by some diabolical entity. Just keep pulling chips, replace them with known good ones, until you find the one that makes the computer work again.

We're running 2.1.5R Nothing much that you should be worried too much about. When you run netstat it trys to do reversed DNS lookups to turn the IP numbers that are involved in connections into names.. hence the delay. You can use a "netstat -n" to tell netstat not to do these lookups. The kvm_read could be related to these delays. Netstat runs through a linked list of all the connections.

Thanks, > bfoster@super-highway.net Login as "root". Unless you set the password in the install process, you shouldn't need to enter one. Once you've logged in as root, use /usr/bin/passwd to set root's password. Then use /usr/sbin/adduser to create user logins. (Including one for yourself that you should put in group "wheel" so you can su to root rather than logging in as root on the console.)

I could be wrong, but I think that this is because the binaries in question are ELF format, and I presume you're running this on 2.1.5, which doesn't have ELF support in it. 2.2current does have ELF support, so you may need to run that, or port the ELF stuff to 2.1.5 (which is not for the faint-hearted, I'd imagine, although if you do get it working, I'd like to mooch off of you :) ). To test 2.1.5's linux emulation support, you can run abuse for linux, which works fine and is quite fun, and also available on ftp.cdrom.com. :) >What can I do? >-Sean >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Sean J.

Could anybody explain me what > does this function does? The _SET macros operate on "linker sets". A "linker set" is an array of addresses which is placed in a symbol reference by the linker. You can think of it as an agregate initializer of a global struct: struct linker_set { int ls_length; caddr_t ls_items[]; }; So you get: struct linker_set some_set = { 3, { &item1, &item2, &item3, NULL } }; Where item1 comes from one object file, item2 from another, and so on. So it's like a global agregate initializer that you can declare across a bunch of files. The reason you use these things is to allow you to include object files and have everything "magically work" without having to #ifdef the number of items. If you wanted to make item1, item2, and item3 optional in our example, you'd need: struct linker_set some_set = { #ifdef ITEM1_OPTION #ifdef ITEM2_OPTION #ifdef ITEM3_OPTION 3, /* items 1 + 2 + 3*/ #else /* !ITEM3_OPTION*/ 2, /* items 1 + 2*/ #endif /* !ITEM3_OPTION*/ #else /* !ITEM2_OPTION*/ #ifdef ITEM3_OPTION 2, /* items 1 + 3*/ #else /* !ITEM3_OPTION*/ 1, /* item 1*/ #endif /* !ITEM3_OPTION*/ #endif /* !ITEM2_OPTION*/ #else /* !ITEM1_OPTION*/ #ifdef ITEM2_OPTION #ifdef ITEM3_OPTION 2, /* items 2 + 3*/ #else /* !ITEM3_OPTION*/ 1, /* item 2*/ #endif /* !ITEM3_OPTION*/ #else /* !ITEM2_OPTION*/ #ifdef ITEM3_OPTION 1, /* item 3*/ #else /* !ITEM3_OPTION*/ 0, /* no items*/ #endif /* !ITEM3_OPTION*/ #endif /* !ITEM2_OPTION*/ #endif /* !ITEM1_OPTION*/ 3, { #ifdef ITEM1_OPTION &item1, #endif /* ITEM1_OPTION*/ #ifdef ITEM2_OPTION &item2, #endif /* ITEM2_OPTION*/ #ifdef ITEM3_OPTION &item3, #endif /* ITEM3_OPTION*/ NULL } }; And then conditionally compile the file containing it. A bit more complicated, don't you think? 8-). To get bact to your first question, it adds a funtion to the list of functions that get called for the NETISR -- Net Interrupt Service Routine.

I'm glad you took the time to respond, but I'm more than just a little curious as to why you wondered "if this statement is worth responding to".

I have to use 'term' mode. It refuses to dial my ISP. Once the session is established manually, it works fine.

Or, is it only the perception that more RAM is needed to support FreeBSD? I must be honest with this, in that the original perception was based on the GENERIC kernel requirements. Now that I've rebuilt the kernel, the memory needs are much closer to that of the Linux 2.0.0 kernel I've been running. >My friends who are converting from Linux to FreeBSD don't seem to be having >any major problems. There are some minor dialect differences, but that >is it. (I don't even evangelize FreeBSD, and usually warn people that Whoa, I didn't say I was having any "major" problems, because I'm not. What I am seeing is that applications I have been accustomed to using and trust under Linux, simply don't work properly under FreeBSD. Thats what started this thread. >Regarding minicom, I don't know and don't use it. Well, thats one I need, and depend on. The reason is quite simple. It is an excellent performing, and near perfect emulation of a VT terminal, and many applications I need to interact with at work depend on that. By the way, the most important is accessing our Lan OS systems via a back door, which I depend on since I work from home (medical problem). Plus, I am responsible for our network and the hardware that supports it. The accurate emulation is very important to me for those reasons. Without it I can't do my job. With it, I can be successful. So, it was with quite a surprise that I found it essentially non-functional (except from the console) when running FreeBSD. On Linux, it works as expected, whether from the console, or in an rxvt while running X. Not so on FreeBSD. Simple as that. >My suggestion is that if you have made any decisions that would be more >costly to go back to Linux than to try to learn why you are having problems >with FreeBSD, I would suggest trying a little longer. If you are not happy Its no cost. I just boot the Linux partition. I'm talking about using the two systems on the very same box. >with FreeBSD and don't feel that you can ever be happy with it, then I >suggest trying another OS. I decided to try it to learn it. At this point, I'm just more than a little disappointed to find these faults that I didn't expect to find. I expected the syntactical differences and so on, and have spent a good deal of time reading O'reilly and others to get a jump on that. But I didn't expect these applications to act so differently. And I didn't expect my mentioning Linux would cause such a stir and don't appreciate the denigrating comments either. I find that to be petty and childish. The real truth is, Linux is good; very good. And you're not as far ahead as you think you are. Not by a long shot. But, I expected some on the list may be sensitive, maybe overly so, to any comparison. And, if you go back to my original message on this, you'll see that I stated in plain English, that I did NOT consider ANY differences in the internals or architecture itself between the two. I'll say it again. All I said was that these applications that work flawlessly on Linux, work poorly or not at all, on FreeBSD. Period. I don't care a wit about the differences in the OS's themselves, and can't really talk about that since I don't have the expertise. I don't care about the techno mumbo jumbo, and I said so. My concern is about these few app's that work on one, and not the other. Again, period... They both have their warts; they're Un*x.

(fwd) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello again! I have detected some problems while using OPTi's Mad16 Sound Card interface for controlling CD-ROM drivers. I own a Sony CDU33A Rev 1.0f and my kernel is unable to see it if it is controlled by my OPTi card. I have been told to use: options "OPTI_MAD16_PORT" to build my kernel. It did not work. Nevertheless, using this option or not, if my computer was started under MS-DOS, the sound card was, somehow, initialized correctly and if I reboot my computer (ctrl-alt-del) and make it load FreeBSD, FreeBSD see my CD-Driver correctly. My OPTi MAD16 card is based in the OPTi 82c930 chip. According to OPTi documentation in http://www.opti.com, this chip has three important registers in ports 0xF8F, 0xE0E and 0xE0F. Register in port 0xF8F is important. The first thing you have to do is write 0xE4 (password) in this register. Doing this, you are allowed to manipulate the registers of the OPTi card. Then there is another register in port 0xE0E, in which you have to write an index to access different parts of the card: CD-interface, MIDI-interface, etc. Register in port 0xE0F lets you read and write the register specified by index in 0xE0F. According to documentation in "http://www.opti.com" the register with index "2" (called MC2) is used to control the CD-interface. But, OPTi's documentation is not complete!! There is a MS-DOS driver that initializes the card correctly: CDSETUP.SYS. I disassembled this drive and I learned some important facts of register MC2: MC2 register options can be summarized in this table: bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 b b m i i i d d b b specifies the iobase for cd-interface: 0 0 = iobase 0x340 0 1 = iobase 0x330 1 0 = iobase 0x360 1 1 = iobase 0x320 opti's documentation ends here. m specifies if the ide interface is using a dma channel. 0 = ide dma diasbled 1 = ide dma enabled i i i specifies the irq level used by the cd-interface. 0 0 0 = irq disabled 0 0 1 = irq 5 0 1 0 = irq 7 1 0 0 = irq 9 1 0 1 = irq 10 1 1 0 = irq 11 d d specifies the dma channel used bye the cd-interface. 0 0 = dma disabled 1 1 = dma channel 3 If you are interested, I have "the source code" for this MS-DOS driver. Please let me know if you need it... (This program belongs to OPTi, and I don't like to be envolved in legal problems, please continue reading, you will find my C equivalent). This driver is rather dirty programmed. You know, machine code for C programs is easy to hack. This program seems to have been done with a hammer and brute force. I corrected my FreeBSD kernel for initializing my OPTi card. I'm tired of hacking, so I made something very dirty but functional... There is a file called: /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/scd.c And there, in line #689 there is a function "scd_probe". Just before this lines I included my code for OPTi (in the lines above) inserting the lines: /*------------[before scd_probe]------------------------*/ #ifdef OPTI_MAD16_PORT # include "opti.c" #endif /*------------------------------------------------------*/ And a few lines below, just before label "again:" I inserted these lines: /*-------------[before label "again:"] ---------------------------*/ #ifdef OPTI_MAD16_PORT OPTi_cd_init(1,dev->id_iobase,dev->id_irq,dev->id_drq); #endif /*----------------------------------------------------------------*/ Then I created the file: "/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/opti.c" with the lines at the end of my e-mail. I still have a lot of questions: 1) Where "inb" and "outb" are defined ? Where are their prototypes ? 2) This code must be "factorized" in such a way that "ide", "mitsumi" and "panasonic" drivers can use it. Does anybody know how to do this ? 3) If I'd want to study the FreeBSD kernel... Is there a reference for knowing how it is organized ? I hope this work can be useful for the FreeBSD friends and lovers. Could you preseve my name and e-mail address in my source code ?

Well first I tried to use sup to get the latest code and do a make release to create a new boot disk. The make world part couldn't compile all of the way through each of three different times (supping first each time) I tried. So I installed the 960801-SNAP on a second system, then supped to get the latest sys code (I assumed would include the new pci.c and pcisupport.c) compiled a new kernel then moved the hard drive and controller back into the Compaq. Same exact problem. Question: where can I get pci.c and pcisupport.c and know that they are the most recent copies, so I can try again? Secondly, I have a 3Com 3C905 which the second system found on the pci bus, but said "[no driver loaded]" even though both the GENERIC kernel and my new kernel had the vx driver compiled in. ========================================================== Matt Rosenberg Washington University School of Law matt@www.wulaw.wustl.edu http://www.wulaw.wustl.edu/~matt ========================================================== From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 9 22:18:48 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA18577 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 22:18:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gandalf.asiapac.net (gandalf.asiapac.net [202.188.0.130]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA18571 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 22:18:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from horn lim.asiapac.net (klj-7-58.tm.net.my [202.188.7.58]) by gandalf.asiapac.net (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id NAA29502 for ; Thu, 10 Oct 1996 13:00:25 +0800 Date: Thu, 10 Oct 1996 13:00:25 +0800 Message-Id: <199610100500.NAA29502@gandalf.asiapac.net> X-Sender: hlwong@mail.tm.net.my X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: Wong Horn Lim Subject: Compiling bind in FreeBSD 2.1.0 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I got error while trying to compile bind-4.9.4-REL, anyone can help me to solve it? ----------------------------------------------------------- /home/users/hlwong/bind/res cc -O -g -I../include -I../compat/include -DUSE_OPTIONS_H -c herror.c In file included from herror.c:65: /usr/include/unistd.h:53: parse error before `__dead2' /usr/include/unistd.h:53: warning: data definition has no type or storage class *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. ------------------------------------------------------------ hlwong From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 9 22:41:44 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA20633 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 22:41:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from zNET.com (sd01.znet.com [207.167.64.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA20623 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 22:41:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fvarnell (sdas1-51.znet.com [207.167.65.51]) by zNET.com (8.8.0/8.8.0-jjb-sd01) with SMTP id WAA29826 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 1996 22:41:38 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <325C8C22.5471@sd.znet.com> Date: Wed, 09 Oct 1996 22:39:46 -0700 From: Frank Varnell X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: compaq and ATAPI cdroms Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > >Yes Frank, > you need to get the 2.2-SNAPSHOT.

The above comment to use 2.2-SNAPSHOT was useful. I downloaded the boot.flp from the 2.2-SNAPSHOT and was able to use that to install the 2.1.5 release. It was too late at night to actually debug it however to see if I could get everything else to work and see if 2.1.5 would recognize the CDROM. After all the comments about Compaq, I think I might return it. It won't be a problem. It was a pretty good deal however. Since I might return it. How do y'all feelabout DELL? I have also seen mention of not getting a clone with the Triton chip set, but most all clones seem to have this. Any comments? Again, thanks! Oh yeah, What about HP Pavilions? they have pretty good packages as well. P.S. the CDROM on my Compaq is a Hitachi CDR-7930.

From man 8 popper: The popper pro- gram initializes and verifies that the peer IP address is registered in the local domain, logging a warning message when a connection is made to a client whose IP address does not have a canonical name. For systems using BSD 4.3 bind, it also checks to see if a cannonical name lookup for the client returns the same peer IP address, logging a warning message if it does not. Or, simply put, popper will check that the client has reverse DNS translation (from IP numbers to host.domain) in the current domain (the same as the one popper is running on). It will also check if translating that name back would give the same IP address. Your message indicates that this lookup failed, probably because your reverse translation is messed up. It's not harmful though.

Are you saying that your rxvt's don't seem to emulate VT100, or that rxvt wasn't/isn't installed on your FreeBSD machine? One other thing that might be happening is that the TERM environment variable may be set incorrectly, perhaps try doing a "setenv TERM v100" (if you're using csh/tcsh) before using seyon. I'm afraid that I'm not using seyon very often, so I'm not sure that I can be of great help. >Paul -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 10 01:39:02 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id BAA00452 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 10 Oct 1996 01:39:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from foo.primenet.com (ip32-012.lax.primenet.com [206.165.32.12]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id BAA00441 for ; Thu, 10 Oct 1996 01:38:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bkogawa@localhost) by foo.primenet.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id BAA06820; Thu, 10 Oct 1996 01:44:18 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 10 Oct 1996 01:44:18 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199610100844.BAA06820@foo.primenet.com> To: sctate@vt.edu Subject: Re: PPP question Newsgroups: localhost.freebsd.questions References: <325C96EB.6C1@vt.edu> From: "Bryan K.

What's the problem? Something's wrong. Unfortunately, my crystal ball broke down earlier this year, and I can't find anybody to repair it. How about information? For example, how did you compile the program? What did the system say when you tried to run it? The fact that you mention the name a.o suggests that you might have created a .o file and be trying to run it. Don't use the -c option for the final executable.

Write a dial script in your ppp.conf and use the autoconnect feature. Several people have posted configurations; I've mailed mine to this group a number of times. Check out the archives for examples. I have the following in my /etc/rc.local: [...] # put your local stuff here /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm && echo -n ' xdm' ppp -auto xmission && echo -n ' ppp' [...] This starts up PPP in automatic mode; the connection will actually be dialed as soon as a packet is sent across the interface. Pinging something outside your local network will dial and connect. It works very well once you get your modem correctly configured. ;^) -- Wes Peters | Softweyr | Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?

Sounds like a hardware (compatibility) problem, especially if you can't boot Linux either. You should try hitting the Num Lock key: if it doesn't toggle the indicator LED, then you're really hung, or at least your keyboard is. You can see if you can get any response from the system by hitting the F2 key. If you do, you might get the error message output explaining why the installation doesn't want to continue. Since you have another computer, it might be instructive to try some comparisons. The most obvious one is swap keyboards and see what happens. Just occasionally we get a keyboard with behaviour we don't expect, and it's not unknown for a keyboard to hang as a result. Otherwise, try installing on the other machine, if that's easy enough (you could move the disk to the it, but if you want to install on the second disk, make sure it's the second disk on the other machine too). Also, if you can, boot from floppy and install from CD-ROM. It's by far the simplest, and the one with which you are least likely to shoot yourself in the foot. If that doesn't help, let's hear from you again. BTW, to check that the NumLock trick really does work at this point, I tried booting 3 machines from the boot floppy. Only the third one worked; one of the others hung in the boot, and the third tried briefly and then booted from hard disk. This isn't just a FreeBSD problem: I tried boot disks for about 4 different systems. I get the feeling that floppies are becoming even more unreliable.

Maybe. It depends on your CD-ROM. Before you go out and buy one, try disconnecting your first disk, connecting your 2nd disk as primary, and the CD-ROM as secondary on the IDE interface.

It just happens that they both have the same encoding. The difference is in interpretaton and goes back to the ASCII standards of the late 60's. According to the standard (which at that time was based on printers and printing terminals), CR means go to the beginning of the current line, LF means move to the current horizontal position in the next line, and NL means move to the beginning of the next line. LF and NL have the same encoding primarily because devices built to an earlier version of the standard disagreed on how that code should be interpreted. (The earlier standard was unclear on that detail.) In any case, CR/LF, LF/CR, and NL are all legitimate standard end-of-line indicators. The Apple CR is not. Unix chose NL for brevity and clarity. (Otherwise what does a lone LF or CR mean in the midst of a text file?) MS-Windows uses CR/LF because MS-DOS used CR/LF because CP-M used CR/LF. I don't know why CP-M used CR/LF; but if I had to guess, I would suspect that the original developer(s) were using a printer that subscribed to the CR/LF interpretation. -Pat P.S.

Just for explanation: seyon, an X based communications application, uses the xterm program for it's terminal window. So you get the emulation that's built into the program you use. You could configure seyon (using x resources) to use rxvt if you prefer rxvt over the generic xterm (or use color_xterm or whatever you want). You would get the emulation that's built into rxvt as well as it's features (or lack thereof in the case of rxvt).

Hmm... rlogin shows reference to rlogind... the man page contains Once the source port and address have been checked, rlogind proceeds with the authentication process described in rshd(8).

Another thing.. PPP packet headers vary in size, it depends on the way its negotiated so the protocol field may or may not be 1 byte (may be 2). This is confusing since the man page said "It can capture packets from interfaces which return a fixed header". I.e. Ethernet, but PPP is supported as well. anyone clear this up please? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ShadowS WhiteFang Unix Software Development Thamer Al-Herbish And Consultancy. shadows@whitefang.com shadows@kuwait.net Specialising in Custom Network Applications for Unix Systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 10 14:18:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA16276 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 10 Oct 1996 14:18:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.crl.com (mail.crl.com [165.113.1.22]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA16269 for ; Thu, 10 Oct 1996 14:18:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from alpha.Xerox.COM by mail.crl.com with SMTP id AA25602 (5.65c/IDA-1.5 for ); Thu, 10 Oct 1996 14:19:34 -0700 Received: from crevenia.parc.xerox.com ([13.2.116.11]) by alpha.xerox.com with SMTP id <16209(3)>; Thu, 10 Oct 1996 14:15:42 PDT Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]) by crevenia.parc.xerox.com with SMTP id <177476>; Thu, 10 Oct 1996 14:15:18 -0700 X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.7 5/3/96 To: jamie Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: nocol/monotoring s/w In-Reply-To: Your message of "Thu, 10 Oct 1996 10:29:51 PDT."

I also have W'95 and DOS 6.22 installed in other partitions of the same drive. I back up the Dos partitions using Microsolutions Backpack 800TD, and I would like to do the same with my FreeBSD partition. Is there a device driver I could load which would identify FreeBSD to DOS and/or Windows 95? Alternatively, since FreeBSD knows about the two dos partitions, is there a driver for the Backpack unit which runs under FreeBSD? Looking forward to your reply.

Right now, I have a "login" type dialog in the "chat" command, but I would like to use the built-in authentication methods, particularly because I am going to have to configure some systems soon to connet to servers that do not provide a login-style connection at all. The remote system always ends up sending me a TermReq if I haven't authenticated first. When I allow chap, I get "Invalid Login" even though I am using the same password that works in the "chat" scripts. I have read and read and re-read the pppd manual page, and I have check the FAQ's and the handbook, as well (though it is always possible that I may have missed something).

Exactly. And, as you suggest above, it does act quite differently (as expected) if run in an xterm (its reall y not usable actually). I've also tried using different shells in the rxvt. Is t here something else along those lines that I should be trying, or is minicom not likely to give me that accurate emulation in an rxvt because its really a port of a Linux app?

DOS screws up the names of the files (with it's 8.3 filename format), and pkg_add seems to care about that (I think :->).

We don't care about your problems; take them elsewhere. Erm.. A couple of comments on this, Mike: 1. If you're going to flame someone for using the wrong list (and I do it myself, so I'm hardly going to suggest that aggressive list-policing is wrong), you should also make it clear which list is the RIGHT list. That at least puts your flaming somewhat more in the constructive criticism category. 2. If you're going to flame someone for excessive cross-posting, then please adjust your cc line on the reply so that it doesn't commit the very same offense you're flaming. This is important for two reasons: 1. It doesn't make you look like such a hypocrite in the flame-ee's eyes. 2. It prevents the dreaded chain-spam, where 5 people all flame someone for inappropriate cross-posting using the very same cc list, multiplying the spam ten-fold. :-( You'll notice that the -questions list is the only one cc'd. Thanks!

Maybe it already configured itself, but you may want to check that the line in /etc/inetd.conf that is similar to this one: pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper is *not* commented out (no '#' at the beginning) Also, you might have to send a signal to the inetd daemon so that it reloads its configuration file. Type (as root): kill -1 `cat /var/run/inetd.pid` To check that it is working, try to telnet to port 110 of your machine as: telnet localhost 110 You should get a connection then something like: +OK QUALCOMM Pop server derived from UCB (version 2.1.4-R3) at xxx starting. Type: QUIT to close the connection. > I've got sendmail working just fine, but the > only place I and my users can get there mail is if they telnet in.(our > server is co-located and not generally physically available).

Just because it's a port won't change it's emulation characteristics. I'm not familiar with how minicom does business in terms of emulation since I don't use it. My guess is that it would work the same way it does in Linux, emulation and all. At least on the PCs, the definitive terminal emulator that we use here at the UO for our Banner applications is Kermit95.

Well, for those of you who have had similar problems (a search of old messages indicates that's quite a number) - here's the definitive answer for at least one permutation of this problem. When there is more than one drive on the system, each drive has a system bios number (either 0 or 1). Similarly, each IDE adapter has the ability to have a master and a slave, each having a distinct number (0, 1, 2 or 3 when two IDE devices are used). The ROOT mounting command requires identifying both the BIOS number and the IDE number in the BOOT MOUNT command. When you have a bare-bones dedicated system, the defaults pretty much cover it. When you scrounge one together as a part-time system, a little more configuration is required. at BOOT: enter the appropriate command as follows: 1:wd(2,a)/kernel | | | +------------------this is the IDE DEVICE number This is the Drive BIOS number Since I have a second IDE drive, the BIOS default of 0 (zero) wouldn't work, I needed a 1 (one). Since my second drive was not a slave (my ATAPI CD-ROM requires it be a slave on the first IDE device), it became the third device and required a 2(two). If this info is in the documentation, it's in a place where you can't see it until after it's installed. I'd recommend it be added to the install document that's readily available on the server (but since a bazillion folks have managed before me, it's probably not necessary). In any event, I'm up and running - cheers until the next speed bump! If God's your co-pilot, switch seats! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Michael P.

Whatever the defaults are for the xresources are what I'm using, since I have never touched them. The failure is in scrolling of the screen, and leaving random characters behind, the next screen then is corrupted by those left behind from the previous, etc. Minicom running in an rxvt on Linux works fine, the same fails on FreeBSD. I'm using fvwm95 on both. I've tried various shells as well, with little or no difference in the results. Not to complicate the issue, but someone else has brought up Kermit. Version 3.14 of Kermit on DOS also works perfectly accessing the same systems as a vt100. Minicom, running from the default shell or from bash also works flawlessly on FreeBSD. Now, that suggests the X environment perhaps. Oh, by the way, it also fails in a like manner when run in an xterm, on either Linux or FreeBSD. It works well in both an rxvt or from the console on Linux, but only the console on FreeBSD. The same Xfree86 version is installed on both. And, we're talking the very same machine in this case. I have both installed.

Cc: yves@maelstrom.CC.McGill.CA Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I use a FreeBSD machine (2.1.5) as an NIS server. I have to serve a passwd file of 16214 entries and this will keep growing. Right now, when building the maps, I can't get more then 16204 entries in there. With different builds, the missing entries change, they are not always the same. Does this mean these is an absolute limit of 16204 records one can put in an NIS map? If so, why such strange number? Where does the problem lie? In yp_mkdb or in the ndbm lib? Have anyone seen something like this before?

There is an emulator available for Windows 3.1 apps, but I don't know how well it performs or how compatible it is. DOS and UNIX can coexist on the same disk, given you have some unallocated space on the disk. You can use the FIPS utility to split off the free space from your DOS slice and make it into a FreeBSD slice. Or go the easy way and buy another disk. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 11 19:57:54 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA18138 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 11 Oct 1996 19:57:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA18131 for ; Fri, 11 Oct 1996 19:57:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id TAA00317; Fri, 11 Oct 1996 19:57:50 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 11 Oct 1996 19:57:50 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: "Michael P.

You need to explicitly give the disk to boot at the Boot: prompt. Apparently FreeBSD has a problem detecting which disk it's booting from and thus the kernel bombs out. You should be able to boot properly by typing wd(1,a)/kernel (replacing 1 with the proper disk number) at the Boot: prompt. Once it gets up, you'll need to rebuild your kernel, changing the 'config' line in the kernel config to reflect the disk the kernel is on. Have you taken a look at the FAQ recently? I believe the two things you're run into are cataloged there.

(I have two scsi drives, obviously.) Ouch. This is probably due to some sort of mis-detection on the bootblock's part and isn't easy to fix :( Make sure the bootblocks are on disk 1 and not disk 0.

Some programs (vic notably) throw a fit if they can't allocate shared memory w/ the server. This is a problem with remote X sessions. You might take a look at the system log file and see if netscape or the X server are emitting errors there.

The best thing for you to do is ensure that that filenames end in .tgz and then just use pkg_add from the prompt! pkg_add will work installing from a mounted dos drive as long as the file on the dos drive has a .tgz extension. Or copy them to a FreeBSD drive and restore the original filenames! I find it easier to just copy them to my /tmp dir with a filename like temp.tgz, and: pkg_add /tmp/temp.tgz Works for me! -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...

Currently it is a bit on the overloaded side (17 USR 28.8's) but since most of the users are IRC'ers it's not a problem yet. Can a ppp link just be setup via a serial line to the port master. Does the line have to be 2~3 flipped.

When the system boots, it probes the PCI bus and finds the BT946C and all the drives, and subsequently accesses them correctly (2.1.5 fixes a problem that we had here where the kernel could be panic'd by doing an "ls -R" on the CDROM, so many thanks for that). But when the system starts to probe the ISA bus it issues two messages: bt: unit number (1) too high bt1 not found at 0x330. It is unclear why the system ever probes for a bt1, the kernel configuration has: controller bt0 at isa? port "IO_BT0" bio irq ? vector bt_isa_intr the config utility creates a bt.h with NBT defined to 1, so I can't see why it ever looks for a second controller. Seraching the archive, I have found this question asked once before, but no reply. Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Grin... you'll do ok. Running PPP/SLIP with compression at 57600 and you'll get _very_ good connectivity (compared to the average joe) > Why do you say it would be a waste?? Waste of serial ports when ethernet is designed for the job, works out-of-the-box etc.. > It's got to be better then dialup. Hehe.. thats true. Since I've got my dialup setup I haven't had any problems. I stuck a couple of good (read $$$) v.34 modems at each end, and helped setup the dialup router (freebsd) at the providers end so its nice and stable :) Don't even notice it anymore, it all just works.... my standard phone line has been connected 5 days now, and the best we have had is 31 (not that it matters if it drops... it just dials up again) > Thanks for your input. No worries. If the portmaster does SLIP then it might pay to use that since SLIP doesn't negotiate. The benifits are that if either end disconnects (turns off or something) then you can just reattach it without thinking. I'm running similar here where I can reboot (or turn off) my machine and the modem will hold the line open until it comes up again (at which time it just slattaches and thats it) Regards, Peter -- Peter Childs --- http://www.imforei.apana.org.au/~pjchilds Finger pjchilds@al.imforei.apana.org.au for public PGP key Drag me, drop me, treat me like an object!

Is there some calculation I'm missing when I'm in fdisk? Or, is this how it should look; dmesg and fdisk agree in cylinder & head values?

The goal is to have a complete working mirror of the unix boxes that run the ISP so that if one drive dies, there is a ready-made replacement drive built and up to date as of the last mirror (run nightly from cron). I am considering linking the two main machines to the backup machine with separate ethernet links to the backup machine to since our ethernet is pretty saturated. This would also increase the performance of the backup. Also other than taking the system to single user mode, can backups be done in such a way that they backup a working set of files as of a specific time so that changes made half way through the backup wouldn't effect the usability of the backup? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When this happens the only thing I know to fix it is "shutdown -r now". When it does work, I have no trouble swapping tapes and doing other things.

The only way I've found to remove a tape is "mt offline" System is FreeBSD 2.1.0R + the fist 96 or so ctm-stable patches. Is my problem something fixed in newer code? Do I need to remove the "reserved" jumper (fall back to SCSI-I) and put the tape drive on a 1542CF all by itself?

O'Brien) , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD - Linux Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk David, For the rest of the list, David sent me private email on this problem I've been having with minicom in particular. He started me down a path that at least permits me to avoid the problem, and kudos to him for that. I appreciate most of the replies I did receive on this issue, even those that were off target. The dialog is important for other reasons as well of course. Anyway, here's the rundown for those that are at all interested. There's a problem somewhere, but from what I've heard and seen with this, I haven't the foggiest idea where it might be.... David suggested that I try twm, and see what occured with that wm. Well, I did, and found minicom runs perfectly in an xterm using twm. However, only if the default shell for my account is csh or tcsh. I didn't try sh. In investigating this course, I also discovered that if I logged in as root, running minicom in an xterm works properly. This led me to trying various shells for my user account. I prefer bash, since that is the shell I got accustomed to under Linux. However, it appears the problem I have been seeing with minicom in an rxvt may stem from using that shell. Using csh, minicom works properly in either an xterm or rxvt window. One difference noted in this variation is that the TERM variable is set as 'xterm' when using either csh or tcsh, but when using bash, and opening either an xterm or rxvt results in TERM set to cons25. In this case, setting (and exporting) TERM to xterm before running minicom makes no difference. It still fails. If the default shell is csh, opening an xterm or rxvt results in TERM being set to xterm. I have not checked out all permutations and combinations of this, since thanks to David's help, I can now avoid the problem.

I've just finished (5 minutes ago, literally) a project of this sort at my "day" job: a redundant, 24x7 television broadcast automation system. Our system, a large audio/video switch, uses a control processor based on an M68000. In order to acheive reliable backup, we put two of them in the system, and have them monitor each others state. This is a really simplistic system, but it works fairly well.* What I'd suggest you do is to have two machines connected to your router. Each has a network interface, neither interface is the www.whatever address. When the "primary" machine boots, it adds the address of www.whatever as an alias for its network interface; the standby begins pinging (or attempting http connections to) the www.whatever address. If the standby machine detects the primary has gone down, by not answering the pings, it adds www.whatever as an alias for *its* network and takes over. Things you have to account for: o The original machine comes back up. Does it now take over and the "backup" shut up, or does it become the backup. In our system, a control board always comes up "standby" and only goes "active" once it has determined there isn't another active board. o Keeping the HTML "database" up to date. In our system, critical dynamic configuration data is downloaded from the active board whenever a system comes up standby and an active board exists. o Routing and ARP tables. You're juggling the hardware address associated with the www.whatever IP address dynamically on your local network. I know this isn't going to "just work," but I'd have to study the routing implications of this before commiting to do this. o Communications between the two systems. We use a pair of dedicated serial ports for our redundancy state messages; each board transmits its current state 4x/sec and expects the other board to report its state at least 2x/sec. If a report is not seen within 500 msec, it is assumed that the other board has died, and this board becomes active. For your application, pinging over the network may be good enough. People who really study backup systems will explain that you can't have a proper redundant system with 2, or *any* even number of processors, or with the same software on every system. On the other hand, you can measurably increase your reliability in the face of simple hardware failures without a lot of custom programming. Good luck. Feel free to e-mail back if I can answer any questions for you. ;^) Wes Peters * Our most common mode of failure is, of course, catastrophic software failure. In this case, what usually happens is the active board crashes, the standby board takes over, the control system resends its last command, and the newly active board dies in *exactly* the same manner the previous active board did. Sigh. That's why you can't have a truly redundant system running the *same* software. But who can afford to develop *two* control systems, when this one took twelve years to develop to this stage already??? -- Wes Peters | Softweyr | Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?

There seems to be an unusual number of processes in "lock_write" state, says the results of a ps taken via ddb during the crash. ------------ I've been having some unexplained system hangs. These occured in 2.1 and continue in 2.1.5. The symptoms are these: processes that are running keep running. Processes cannot start. Processes appear to be unable to exit. For example, if I'm running a shell I can (always? I can't say for sure) run internal shell commands but as soon as I try to run anything external, it hangs. I run a radius server on that machine; it keeps responding to requests. There are no console messages. There are no abnormal log entries. The disk is still active. The behavior of the system does change with time -- the radius server stops responding eventually; when telnetting in, instead of a connected-to message and a hang, it just doesn't connect. The only remedy is the reset switch.... I've included the boot messages and the config. Any ideas?

First, remove the Signature: line from your .mh_profile, and then either: 1) Copy /usr/local/lib/mh/componenets and /usr/local/lib/mh/replcomps to ~/Mail. In your personal copies of these files, add a line that looks like: From: David Kelly in the headers section, just above the line of dashes. This will cause mh to insert the From: header, which sendmail shouldn't touch. -or- 2) Modify /etc/sendmail.cf to make your machine masquerade as hiwaay.net. This is what I do; it works well, and is not mh specific. Here's the relevant part and what it should look like: # who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M) DMhiwaay.net There are probably better ways to do this, but what the heck - it works for me! -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis - blewis@vet.purdue.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Oct 12 23:27:46 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA12434 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 12 Oct 1996 23:27:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nexgen.n4hhe.ampr.org (max12-75.HiWAAY.net [206.104.16.75]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA12425 for ; Sat, 12 Oct 1996 23:27:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from root@localhost) by nexgen.n4hhe.ampr.org (8.7.5/8.6.12) id BAA25527; Sun, 13 Oct 1996 01:27:22 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 0.5-alpha [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <199610130353.UAA00124@freefall.freebsd.org> Date: Sun, 13 Oct 1996 01:13:43 -0500 (CDT) Organization: Amateur Radio N4HHE, Madison, AL.

My Anaconda is perfect the first time I use it after a reboot. And the 2nd, and 3rd times, as long as each use is close in time to the next. Its almost as if it gets attached to my login and doesn't get detached on logout. The problem is that I used the drive the other night and can't now. OTOH, maybe "mt offline" took too long and the driver got out of sync and won't ever get back in sync? Maybe I should rephrase my question in the hope we can figure out exactly what is going on. Is it FreeBSD, the 2940, or the Anaconda? The drive refuses to allow me to insert a tape. "mt" and tar report: nexgen: {717} tar -t st0: not ready tar: can't open /dev/rst0 : Device busy nexgen: {718} How would I go about figuring out what is making this drive busy? Meanwhile I'll see if jmb's NCR patch can be applied to the 2940. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@tomcat1.tbe.com (wk), dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
