At what stage does the FreeBSD partition manager commit changes to the disk? I've gone to the extent of deleting the FreeBSD partitions after a failed install, rebooting, and trying to install again. When I do this, after rebooting, the partition editor shows the deleted partitions as unused, so I've been assuming they've been properly deleted. Is this a correct assumption? Could there be remnants of a failed install causing problems. My first install failed due to network problems (FTP install couldn't cd to the distribution [*]) so there ouwld have been a failed attempt on there already. ... >I would be more inclined toward a disk problem. Uh-oh :-( Thanks, again, for your help. David [*] - FTP install has regularly fallen over for me, either failing to cd to the distribution or failing to make a connection. I have a direct ethernet link to my local mirror, so I am rather puzzled by this. This may be just the luck of the draw, but FTP using a client running on a Solaris box, or even windows, generally always seemed more reliable than on my old FreeBSD box. The particular problem has always been retrieving a directory listing - it would just hang until the connection timed out. Data transfer rates and all other commands were fine. Using Netscape as a FTP client also worked fine.

You probably don't have a user "nobody" on your server. Find out where the PC-NFS client puts its error messages and look there, or look at the syslog on your server system for failed connect messages from mountd.

I don't have one. You seem to have missed something important: you can change the default route each time the PPP link comes up. In order to use this, you must first add a default route to one of your dial-in ports. It doesn't matter which one, just pick one. When you attempt to route a packet off the local machine (or network) ppp will bring up the link. In /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup, the following entry: # # In all cases (since we've only got one) add his address as default # gateway. This has the added benefit of making *any* packet routed # off our network redial the link. Of course, this makes casual # name lookups expensive. # MYADDR: delete 0 0 add 0 0 HISADDR Will change the default route to the other side of the newly connected PPP link. When the link drops, the route stays, and will force the auto dial the next time around. "It works for me!" ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

First a little background... My computer is a Pentium 75 with 1G WD HD (c:), 420M Conner HD (d:), Reveal CDROM, soundcard, 1.44 FD, VGA. I downloaded the files from 2.1.5-Release/bin, XF86312, and des directories, and also the boot.flp (that's all I need to get started right?). I was able to get to the installation menu from the floppy and start the process. I want to put FreeBSD on the Conner and chose default options for the whole disk, average user. When it began the installation process it got to the point where it started copying the /bin files from c:. (c:\freebsd\bin, c:\freebsd\des, etc.) It seems to copy a little bit (1%) then gives: Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes) Unable to transfer the bin distribution from wd0s1 It also gives similar messages for des, etc. Thinking that there might somehow be a conflict with the CDROM and one of the drives (it's daisy chained to the Conner), I unhooked it. Then the installation process got up to 3% on copying the /bin before the same error messages. So now I'm wondering if the problem is due to the 1G western digital. It's 2100C 16 63, but is setup in BIOS as 525 64 63 LBA (pfdisk says 524 64 63). The installation disk startup shows 2100 16 63, but in the menus its 525 64 63. Before I go messing with the drive settings in BIOS, which has caused lost data before, I'd like to see what you think.

If you want to see a screenshot, I have a feeling that FreeBSD may not be the OS you are looking for... FreeBSD is a UNIX-like OS. It is very flexible, stable, and much more. This means, for starters, that, unlike Win95, it is _not_ a graphical operating system. My particular installation has 16 virtual screens...ie. I press ALT-F1-12, or ALT-SHIFT-F1-6 and it switches screens. On one of these screens, a copy of Pico is running that I am using to edit this reply. On another is a directory listing of the /lkm/ directory. The next couple are still at the login screen, and another four are were I was just playing around with some programming-stuff. However, something called XFree86 is distributed with FreeBSD. XFree86 is graphical. It is usually what's used to run any graphical program, such as Netscape. At the moment, I'm not running X, but I could easily, just by typing `startx'. Alternatively, some people have X started automatically when they boot FreeBSD. I think these people are stupid, but most of them are a lot smarter than me, so I don't tell them that. If you do choose to install FreeBSD, keep in mind that you will be learning a new OS. Many of the basic paradigms and especially symantics are different from your typical Microsoft OS. It _will_ take time to relearn (unless, of course, you have had previous experience with UNIX). -- tIM...HOEk "Perception is often reality - or at least it is perceived as to be so" - Scott Nudds [in usenet or email] From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 10 15:59:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id PAA01375 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 10 Nov 1996 15:59:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from shaft.unicus.ca ([207.167.211.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id PAA01369 for ; Sun, 10 Nov 1996 15:59:32 -0800 (PST) Received: (from quest@localhost) by shaft.unicus.ca (8.7.5/8.7.3) id SAA18136; Sun, 10 Nov 1996 18:37:28 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 10 Nov 1996 18:37:28 -0500 (EST) From: Dan McCaffrey To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Fastmail port available for FreeBSD?

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, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: 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 may mean 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, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, 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.

The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. If you have this book, please check this list. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

I don't run any of the r* (rshd, rlogind, rexecd) servers on my machines. I do run sshd, however, and I'd like to use rdump to backup a filesystem to another server. Does anyone know of a way to get the rcmd() call in rdump to use ssh as its connection mechanism so authentication happens, without having to hack up libc? I fear the only way out of this is to hack rdump and replace the call to rcmd() with code that executes ssh(1) instead to both authenticate and issue the rmt command. However, I figured I'd see if a more elegant kludge exists first.

I downloaded the bin, des, dict, doc, manpages, proflibs, and info directories from ft.freebsd.org into C:\FREEBSD and I would like to install FreeBSD on a second hard drive which has nothing on it. When I go through the boot floppy and get everything set up, the commit program is giving me problems. When it starts to copy the files, it gives an error: 'Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1024)'. The hard drive I am installing from is a Seagate 2.1GB and the hard drive I'm trying to install to is a Seagate 1GB. Both are set up to use Block Mode, LBA, and 32 bit transfer. I tried turning off the Block/LBA/32 bit transfer on the second drive, but I still am getting the Write error. I have asked quite a few times on the #FreeBSD channel on IRC but no one seems to know the answer. My machine is a 486DX4/120 PCI with 16MB of ram. I also tried to install it via ftp (the sysadmin at my ISP has the distribution installed on a machine) but when I get all the fields filled in, it will not connect to the site I am specifying. If anyone could give me some assistance, that would be great - I'm really anxious to get FreeBSD running on my machine. Any help is greatly appreciated.

These rates are very high for something that goes through two gateways anyhow. I'd suspect the statistics are not accurate. How large are the files? (anything that is less than about half a MB might cause, in my experience, bogus statistics). I don't know if you should be worried, but I would give it further investigation. The easiest thing would have been to use a LAN analyzer, but those are usualy hard to come by. Here is my poor man's troubleshooting startegy: First, does this happen only for ftp's or for any type of traffic (I would suspect the latter). Usually excessive collisions are a result of defective hardware. Make your tests against a machine that is on the same segment from the same repeater, and disconnect everything else. If this solves the problem try finding out which node was the one that caused the problem by connecting them one by one. That node probably has a defective card. If disconnecting everything doesn't solve the problem, replace not just the card on your machine, but also *all* of the cables between it and the repeater (use a different wall outlet, different port on the repeater with different patch cables). A cable can cause excessive collisions (especially in 100BaseT4 and 10Base2, but also in 10BaseT and 100BaseTX). If all this fails to locate the source of the problem, try checking statistics for other machines connected to the same hub and see if they have similar symptoms. You may then want to try replacing the hub. I know this seems to be a lot of work. All I can say is that in my experience network cabling/hardware problem are very hard to find and very easy to fix. > -- > 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.

Also, at the risk of stating the extremely obvious, be sure to check *all* hardware. I had the same problem over the weekend with an old 10Base2 (cheapernet) card. I checked and rechecked all IRQs and even swapped cards, with no luck. The terminators turned out to be faulty.

Yes, this sounds like one of the old QIC-24 tape drives. I think I have one of these sitting around somewhere. It takes its own controller board, and I think it connects via a 50 pin ribbon cable. I used one of these to work with 45MB and 60MB tapes. Then I got one of the archive 150MB scsi tape drives, and now I use a dat tape drive. > > i will forward this to FreeBSD-questions. perhaps someone > has this drive and can help you with it. > > jmb > > ps please email Tim directly, he is not subscribed to the list. > -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088 From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 11 15:24:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id PAA19477 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 11 Nov 1996 15:24:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.gte.net (sm1.gte.net [207.175.111.18]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA19461 for ; Mon, 11 Nov 1996 15:24:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail1.gte.net (mail1.gte.net [206.124.65.236]) by mail.gte.net (950413.SGI.8.6.12/950213.SGI.AutoCF) via ESMTP id RAA24880; Mon, 11 Nov 1996 17:24:17 -0600 Received: from gemini.gouverneur.com by mail1.gte.net (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id RAA09799; Mon, 11 Nov 1996 17:24:14 -0600 Message-ID: <3287B50E.41C67EA6@mail.gte.net> Date: Mon, 11 Nov 1996 15:21:50 -0800 From: Fred Adorno Organization: Adorno and Associates X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Nick Liu CC: Just Baldrick , fadorno@mail.gte.net, questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ed0 device timeout References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Nick Liu wrote: > > On Mon, 11 Nov 1996, Just Baldrick wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > We had the same problem with ed0 'Device timeout'.

I am aware of all the above. I used the softlink setup thru EZsetup. I changed the settings to match the kernel. It has been working fine until I went into Windows yesterday after a warm boot. Went I went back to FreeBSD after a warm boot the timeout errors appeared again. It seems to go away if I do a cold boot and then go into FreeBSD. Apparently, what ever the conflict is during Windows stays in memory if I do a warm boot. I can't seem to resolve the problem under Windows now, but I don't care because I plan to drop that hard drive (primary) into another PC and network it with FreeBSD server. But on that note has any one setup to network between a Win95 desktop and a FreeBSD box? Was it difficult? What do I need to do to make them work?

If and only if all of the following are true: * You're an intermediate- to expert-level user. (DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THE FOLLOWING IF YOU'RE A NOVICE USER!) * You have a SCSI disk (IDE drives may work in the following, but I don't know). * You want to dedicate the *ENTIRE* disk to FreeBSD. This is *IMPORTANT*, as the following assumes that you really do want to dedicate the entire disk to FreeBSD (yes, *all* of it). If you want to use even a teensy, tiny part of the disk for something else like MSDOS or Windows, you CANNOT use the following instructions. Period. * You have no data on the disk that you want to keep. * You don't mind losing ALL DATA that is currently on the disk. * You don't mind destroying any and all MSDOS or Windows 3.1/95/NT or any other information that is on the disk. * You don't plan on using or sharing the disk with other operating systems (e.g., MSDOS or Windows). * You want to partition the *ENTIRE* FreeBSD slice into a single FreeBSD filesystem. (If this isn't true, you have to change the "newfs" command below.) Then, the easiest way to add a dedicated disk is the following: * First, determine the base disk name of the disk you want to add/dedicate (e.g., "sd1"). * Assuming that "sd1" really is correct, do the following (assuming Bourne shell /bin/sh syntax): # This won't work if you're using /bin/csh: d=sd1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r$d count=2 disklabel /dev/r$d | disklabel -B -R -r $d /dev/stdin # We only want one partition, so using slice 'c' should be fine: newfs /dev/r${d}c (Thanks to Bruce Evans for the procedure.) You can then mount the drive via a command like: mount /dev/${d}c /mnt Expert users can partition the FreeBSD slice into multiple filesystems using a slightly different procedure: # This won't work if you're using /bin/csh: d=sd1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r$d count=2 TMP=/tmp/label$$ disklabel /dev/r$d > $TMP # Edit disklabel to add partitions: vi $TMP disklabel -B -R -r $d $TMP # newfs partitions appropriately To comment on the earlier message: you don't need entries in /etc/disktab to add new disks (this file is probably obsolete). All you might need to know is the disk geometry used at boot time (unnecessary in certain cases, like dedicated disks), and, maybe, the size of the disk in blocks (this is automatically determined for SCSI disks, and probably also for IDE ones). > In response to the shiny automatic way to add disks, I saw an announcement > some time ago for a perl script which automates this somewhat. I wish I > had the reference, you might check the -current and possibly -announce > archives for that one. I uploaded such a perl script to freefall, but it turns out that it works only with 2.2-snap-960801, and maybe versions up to 2.2-current (it depends on an undocumented ioctl() -- DIOCGCSLICEINFO). I hope to fix this, and upload a new version in the next week or so. For those of you who missed the earlier announcement, this perl script provides an easy way to create a Bourne shell script that initializes a disk using fdisk, disklabel, and newfs. A Bourne shell script is created because it's very useful for (1) disaster recovery (you don't need perl on a fixit disk), and (2) a production environment where you want to create lots of identical systems (just run the script to initialize disks). It's also aimed at intermediate- to expert-level users, as it doesn't mount the new filesystems or edit /etc/fstab (which are trivial for these users). -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

If you can boot DOS, then do this: 1. cd X:\tools (CD rom on X:) or download "bootinst.exe" and "boot.bin" from ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/tools 2. Run bootinst to install BootEasy.

There is a flurry of activity due to so many committers working on getting -2.2 and -2.1.6 released. > Also, what are some other up-to-date CVSup servers? Personally, I use cvsup2.freebsd.org. It gets updated 4 times per day, so it's only 3 hours out-of-date on average (6 hours maximum). Very few people need to be more current than that. As the guy who watches the log files for both systems, I can tell you that cvsup2 is seriously underused. I've never seen it max out on the number of simultaneous clients. Traditionally, the weakness of our mirror system has been that the mirrors haven't always kept themselves up to date in terms of new collections that have been added. For example, cvsup2 didn't pick up "ports-all" quickly enough after it was added. I am working on an automatic update system to eliminate that problem. The only current problem I know of with cvsup2 is that it didn't yet have the "src-all" collection, last time I checked. So you have to list the individual collections that make up src-all. Other than that, I've always had good luck with it. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.

Use 'dir /ah' to locate the files and use 'attrib -h file' to remove the hidden bit. You will have these if you use commercial antivirus utilities like MicroSoft/Central Point/Norton AntiVirus which makes hidden checksum files. At one point CPAV had a command to delete them all -- it may still. > It may be easier for me to go and buy another hard drive for freebsd. That is the easiest way to go, IMHO.

It does reboot, and while that certainly does help keep the system running, it makes it very difficult to isolate the causes of these problems. I find no evidence of the cause of the problem. /var/log/messages just has logins and all of a sudden the boot-up info. No reason for the reboot is logged. :( Nick Grayphics http://www.grayphics.com/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 11 22:05:57 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA24946 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 11 Nov 1996 22:05:57 -0800 (PST) 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 WAA24941 for ; Mon, 11 Nov 1996 22:05:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id WAA24459; Mon, 11 Nov 1996 22:05:44 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 11 Nov 1996 22:05:44 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu To: "Brian J.

The 3COM drivers may be developed enough to make it into 2.2. the vx driver covers the 3c59x and 3c90x series, probably more. There are others. But the DEC based cards are like the NCR SCSI cards -- they're cheap and have stupendous performance.

Well, if you're on 2.1.0 you're very soon going to be 2 versions behind so I would wait for 2.1.6 to come out then do one big upgrade. In essence, yes, you're going to have to upgrade.

I even tried to copy master.passwd file and edited it to make it look like the .htpasswd file but that did not work either. I think problem is somewhere in FreeBSD encryption packages. I remember installing some encryption package at the FreeBSD installation time but I am not sure about the names. 1. How can I make sure what encryption packages are installed on the system?

I am trying to get my CDROM drive to auto-mount and auto-unmount via amd. What I would like is to be able to ``cd /cdrom'', and have it automatically mounted for me. Then when I cd out of it via ``cd /'' the CDROM automatically unmounts, so that I can press eject. However, my attempts have produced utter failures. Clearly, I do not understand the format of the amd map file and the amd command line options, or how they interact. What I have tried is to create an entry in fstab for the CDROM: /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 noauto,ro 0 0 Then, I wanted to create an entry an amd.map entry which corresponds to /cdrom. I tried something like: cdrom type:=program;mount:="/sbin/mount mount /cdrom";unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /cdrom" and attempted with calls to amd which looked like: amd / amd.cdrom.map but this seems to lock up the machine. Has anyone tried something similar and with better results than what I have been able to produce?

BTW I would love to know what the problem was, but I nuked the whole thing accidentally by mounting sd0 on my fixit floppy and trying to get the drive to boot from various suggestions I found in the archives.

Amd takes control over any directory specified as parameter and wants to resolve any access below that point through the associated map. In your case, you're telling amd how to "resolve" the cdrom dir under /, but you're not giving it any rule for the other dirs. They become inaccessible. I'm afraid starting at / would never succeed whatever your efforts to specify a correct map would be, since amd itself needs to access files, and those file are somewhere below / of course. As a starter, I'd make /cdrom a soft link to something like /amd/cdrom, and start amd with "/amd" instead of "/" as first parameter. You also need to add a rule for everything but cdrom under /amd that just makes it a link to the local filesystem. That goes with a "*" as key, but unfortunately the machine I have amd maps on is currently down, so I can't be more specific. Check the example for the "hosts" map in amd's documentation, that will give you an idea. Good luck with amd -- you need it... and if you get replies from a true amd guru take his word over mine (and give me his e-mail address ;-) _Alain_ -- Alain FAUCONNET Ingenieur systeme - System Manager AP-HP/SIM Public Health 91 bld de l'Hopital 75013 PARIS FRANCE Medical Computing Research Labs Mail: af@biomath.jussieu.fr Tel: (+33) 1-40-77-96-19 Fax: (+33) 1-45-86-80-68 I've RTFMed.

This apparently can't happen: not only is it not documented (don't we wish *that* meant anything :-) ), but in the kernel code for sendto, the *code* doesn't return it. Apparently, something else is getting turned into ENOENT, but I've no clue what, which makes it hard to debug the problem... The obvious answer is an invalid socket handle, but it's been properly socket()'d and bind()'d, and it's still got the same value it got from socket(). The other possibility is that I *think* it's trying to send to a multicast address, and I don't *think* it's joined the group yet.

You will also probably want to use something like '-c arcfour' to use arcfour encryption, which is a good bit less CPU intensive than the default. On Sun, 10 Nov 1996, Wes Santee wrote: > 'Lo all.

I am in a networking class and we are writing small client-server programs to do meanial tasks, but i don't have the libraries on my freeBSD system that there are on the school's SUN Sparc system. I know there is a great deal of difference between the systems, but as they are both unixy, where could i find some network type .h's? The .h that comes to mind right off the bat is tiuser.h. There are calls to t_bind and other such functions that aren't defined in the libraries that i have found (and the man pages don't help me find t_bind). Infact, tiuser.h (and perhaps there is a .c file somewhere that goes with it?) might possibly be the only file that gives me errors when i compile. (i am in my winblows system now and can't easily give it a quick compile to test it) Anyway, if anyone knows where i can get some suplimental network header files and library files, i would appreciate hearing from you.

User: exp with Minix, Linux, BSD 2.0.5, 2.1.0, 2.1.5, but still not a qualified geek. BSD loaded onto first 700 MB of second HDD (wd1a), always choosing novice & defaults. First time all went well until about half way through packages installation, began receiving constant failure messages. screen messages indicated proc table overflows. Second installation, started at beginning again, but this time just got a clean BSD and X-windows setup, then booted that, reconfigured the kernel and booted that. Clean. Then, as root, mounted the CD_ROM, entered /stand/sysinstall and tried to install the packages again. No proc table overflows this time, but the emacs installation blew up with (and this is a quote) "some error", and of course this time only switched me to an alternate console, not the error msg screen of the installation kernel. Also, got several "unable to fetch" messages for rzsz, wine, uzap, kermit, spice and netscape. Hard to understand why they would be there to select if not included on the CD. Called Walnut Creek, where I got it from, and they guy just said "package that up just like you told it to me and e-mail it to freebsd.org". At least in 2.1.0 there was a setup to ftp netscape, which I can understand, but this seems different. Can you guys please help? ALSO, I'm really frustrated with internet access thru BSD (I have to use DOS/Win to access my ppp account, and I'm not a real Microsoft fan). I've got ppp to the point where I respond to the Netcom username and password prompt, and at that point my ppp prompt looks something like PPP ON pb> (ppp & on went to capitals) so I think I'm logged in, but I can't do anything on the net --- it's like I'm in the control room and somebody turned the lights off! I get these warning messages about no password in ppp.secret and the whole world can manipulate my system (man ppp tells me "if you set your hostname & password in ppp.secret you can't do anything except run the quit and help commands", so why would I want to do that? Also, in X-Windows, I've tried every sequence & combination of ppp and Mosaic, but Mosaic cannot access the net --- my guess is that ppp is not set up properly yet. Even if I have to read ANOTHER whole book just to get ppp to work, I'll do it. Walnut Creek refuses to help with ppp, saying they only support installation. Well, I'm a Novell reseller, and if I sold & set up ANYTHING to my clientele that didn't work, they certianly wouldn't consider it installed. Please give me whatever short-term and/or long-term advise you can. (The guys at Netcom tried, but they don't seem to be UNIX oriented). Should I replace references to myname.domain.com (oh yeah, and foo.bar.com!) to ix.netcom.com? Walnut Creeks new documentation on FreeBSD installation is quite good, but NOTHING tells me about that sort of thing. Thanks for your help.

I'm having <0 luck. Here are all the dead-ends I've gone down. I started with a 2.1.5 kernel, which found the card but treated it as the experimental 21140. The card turned on at 10Mb but during the device probe switched to 100Mb. Switching link2 made the kernel say it was switching rates, but to no effect. So I installed a -stable kernel. Same gig. Then I pulled the -current if_de.c and dc21040.h. I compiled them into the -stable kernel by changing a few things like ether_ioctl to work the old way. Still no change. Card goes into 100Mb mode and won't come out. So then I tried disabling the code in 9332_media_select and probe so that the interface rate would never get changed. That makes the card stay in 10Mb mode (my hub understands that it's there). But, I can't see any packets going out the interface or coming into the interface. I read the hardware documentation and was under the impression that these cards were supported. Am I just completely missing the point somewhere? Does it work and I'm doing something wrong or do they not work? If they don't work, is there any reasonably easy way for me to get my hands on the relevant databooks so I can make it work?

If you have a working system, the easiest thing to do would be to directly use pkg_add (do man pkg_add, but there's not much to it). This will probably show you the exact errors. You may wish to first delete packages that weren't installed successfuly (use pkg_delete for that). Some packages are not included on the CD because of licensing considerations. Netscape, for example, is commercial software and cannot be redistributed. You *can* install it as a port (look in the handbook about ports installation). This would automatically fetch the required files from ftp.netscape.com or whatever. You will, of course, need Internet access to install that. > > ALSO, I'm really frustrated with internet access thru BSD (I have to > use DOS/Win to access my ppp account, and I'm not a real Microsoft > fan).

X-Mailer: Mutt 0.50 Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just bought a Tekram DC390F, and after installing it, it refuses to boot from my SCSI disk. If I boot from the installation floppy, and run the fixit disk, I can mount the filesystems Ok, but that's hardly useful. It will not work if I try to make the FreeBSD boot loader boot from the SCSI drive either (with the sd(0,a)/kernel .. trick). I read in the manual that if the drive wasn't formatted by this controller, that it might not be recognized... but I can mount the filesystems while using that controller, so that doesn't seem to be the problem (or is it?). I tried booting with an old MS-DOS disk, and it doesn't recognize the disk either (with fdisk). I wonder if there is something else that I've forgotten to do? I sure hope I don't have to backup the filesystems and re-format... (but, if that's what I've got to do, that's what I'll do...) I'm currently back to using the sea0 driver, so I really want to get the Tekram controller working properly. -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) | ALL unsolicited commercial email Support bacteria -- it's the | is unwelcome.

I've appended the mail. But I could not find the answer .... Could you provide some assistance ? My case differs in this : - Digital Unix V3.2C NFS server (OSF/1) - mount point on OSF/1 : /mnt - my installation is from scratch (empty disk) - my system mounts and installs the CD after a second commit attempt as in mail below, but the system can't boot. It loops while displaying : F1 . . . BSD with intervals of 5-10 seconds. I assume it's the same problem, though.

I'm trying to install 2.1.5-RELEASE. In options, I chose secure NFS because I'm trying to mount off of a SUN workstation. I go through everything and then do a commit. After the filesystem has been created and some files off of the boot floppy has been copied, I get the error message: Error mounting sunbeam:/u/export/FreeBSD on /dist: No such file or directory ( The rest of the line gets cut off. I do an alt-F2 and the screen said: DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file mount_nfs: can't get net id for host DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 So I did an alt-F1 back to the error message and chose continue. It then gave: Can't find a kernel image to link to on the root file system! you're going to have a hard time getting this system to boot from the hard disk, I'm afraid! So I chose continue again. Then it said: Installation completed with some errors. your may wish to scroll through the debugging messages on VTY1 with the scroll-lock feature. With another continue keystroke: The commit operation completed with errors. Not updating /etc/files. With one last continue keystroke, it then returned me back to the "Choose Custom Installation Options" menu. I chose Commit again. This time, it was able to mount the server and proceed. All goes well and after a reboot, the machine is up and running. My question is, is this normal? Are the files in /etc updated? My screen saver doesn't seem to work (kick in after the specified time interval). That was the first thing I noticed. I then tried to directly mount from FreeBSD.cdrom.com and got the same thing. This didn't used to happen with 2.1.0-RELEASE. Any comments or pointers would be greatly appreciated. William T.

I have USR Sportster 28.8 modems, and was going crazy about not being able to set faster rates. The way you can fix a faster rate is to give the "fixed rate" command to the modem, using the speed you want to fix. You can give commands to the modem in the first serial port, using cu, as follows: cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 57600 cu should display a "Connected" message, and then you should enter: ATZ (modem should reply OK) AT&B1&W0 (modem should reply OK again) then, you must end the cu session, by typing ~. (tilde plus dot) and pressing enter. Note that in the second command, the last character is a zero, not an "o". In the USR modems, this fixes speed at 57600bps. You may try faster rates if your modem allow that. Hope this helps. +-----------------------------------------------+ | Victor Manuel Carranza Gonzalez | | Unidad de Internet/Red Cientifico-Educativa | | Depto. de Procesamiento Electronico de Datos | | Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala -USAC- | | | |e-mail: victor@usac.edu.gt, | |Telefono oficina: (502)4769723 (fax/voz) | | (502)4767719 (voz) | |Telefono casa : (502)4782916 (502)2891037 | +-----------------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 13 07:08:04 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA21512 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 13 Nov 1996 07:08:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from light.pomona.edu (light.pomona.edu [134.173.72.79]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA21495 for ; Wed, 13 Nov 1996 07:08:00 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (jadeite@localhost) by light.pomona.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA01140 for ; Wed, 13 Nov 1996 07:07:56 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 13 Nov 1996 07:07:56 -0800 (PST) From: jadeite To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: auto-logout Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk What controls the auto-logout function?

The conversion table (sys/i386/sound/ulaw.h) has to high gain and is clipping the signal. The conversion is also to 8 bit linear (sys/i386/sound/audio.c). Converting to 16 bit linear is to prefer as this will give lower quantization noise. I think that we understand the code enough to make a quick hack that will help us. But maybe there already is a fix for the bug. Even if not, it is of course better if a real fix is made. The main problem with doing the fix seems to be that the conversion from ulaw to linear is done "in place" in the DMA buffer. Roland ------------------------------------- A description on how we found the problem: When we played a Sun ulaw audio file ... "http://www.ericsson.se/cslab/biingg.au" .. it sounded just awful. Lots of distortion. It sounded just as if we were listening to an overloaded clipped signal. We tried ... % cat biingg.au > /dev/audio % sox -V biingg.au -r 8000 -t raw -U - > /dev/audio ... and both sounded terrible. But if we made ... % sox -V biingg.au -r 8000 -t raw -b -u - > /dev/dsp ... there was no problem Looking at the code we found the clipping table. We replaced the table with a real ulaw table, installed the driver and rebooted. The sound was now without clipping, but there were lots of quantization hizz. Then we looked for how the conversion was made. We found that the conversion was made "in place" in the DMA buffer. A major hack was then needed, and then we did not want to mess around with the driver code. ------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 13 07:25:00 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id HAA23087 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 13 Nov 1996 07:25:00 -0800 (PST) Received: from horton.iaces.com ([204.147.87.98]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id HAA23031 for ; Wed, 13 Nov 1996 07:24:46 -0800 (PST) Received: (from proot@localhost) by horton.iaces.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA19136; Wed, 13 Nov 1996 09:24:38 -0600 (CST) From: "Paul T.

I explain better . If I create the user "gmarco" that belongs to group 2000 (user) adduser add gmarco to 2000 group in /etc/group even if 2000 is the default group of gmarco. I always have to delete the username after the group by hand. It begin to be annoying :-) 2) How I can send a mail to all the user of a group ? I.e. I'd like to send a mail to all the users belong to 2000 group. Is it possible or I must use an alias followed by all the names in the same line ? (I have 300 users to administer and I think it isn't safe to add everyone to the line of the group.) Thanks in advance.

I intend to have one password server, a shared /home partition and the ability for a 'user' to login to ANY machine on the network. Also can such a system be controlled so that only 'some' users can log into certain machines.

Cannot get 2.2--961014-SNAP to boot! Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been trying for two days now to install this SNAPSHOT. I've tried two different disk drives, WD 1.0 and 1.0 G IDE drives, on three different systems (Gateway P5/90, Gateway 4DX2-66V, and generic 486/33). In each case, I get the OS installed via the internet from ftp.freebsd.org, but when I reboot the boot manager gives me the F? prompt and cannot boot from the hard disk. I've never had so many problems installing FreeBSD before, and have installed it on dozens of systems ranging from P166 down to 386sx-16. What gives? Am I missing something obvious? In the latest round, thinking I might be getting bitten by "oversize" IDE disks, I created 500M and 1000M FreeBSD partitions on the 1.6G drive, and installed the OS on the 500M partition. Same result -- boot easy cannot find the FreeBSD boot loader with both hands. I've searched the questions archive and didn't find anything helpful. I've never seen this failure before. Am I missing something obvious? Please reply directly here at work; my normal account takes too long to read from here. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. This is really making me crazy.

The standard answer has been to use cards based on the DEC 21x40 chips, especially the SMC cards. I've used the SMC9332DST in 10 Megabit mode under 2.1.0-RELEASE and 2.1.5-RELEASE in some pretty important applications, with no problems (other than an excessively high reported collision count). I'm disturbed by the recent reports of problems with these cards. I really need a stable, solid, PCI-based 10/100 Mbit Ethernet solution for FreeBSD.

Is there anyone who can shed Well, before you get too worried about this, just let me point out that *all* of our SMC and Compex DC21040 based cards at Walnut Creek CDROM work flawlessly, and we've got something like 15-20 machines using them at 100BTX and 10BT speeds. They *do* seem somewhat more susceptible to bad cabling than most cards. I was seeing abnormally high collision counts on my home network and was rather puzzled by it until I thought to replace a terminator I suspected. No problems since. I'm rather curious myself at this recent spate of reports - perhaps SMC has done something hairbrained with their latest revision of adaptors? It might also help if those larger shops who are having problems would consider sending one of the failing cards to David Greenman - we can't fix what we can't see. :-) Jordan From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 13 19:15:33 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA08085 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 13 Nov 1996 19:15:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from obie.softweyr.com (slc193.modem.xmission.com [204.228.136.193]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA08074 for ; Wed, 13 Nov 1996 19:15:24 -0800 (PST) Received: (from wes@localhost) by obie.softweyr.com (8.7.5/8.6.12) id UAA00254; Wed, 13 Nov 1996 20:14:27 -0700 (MST) Date: Wed, 13 Nov 1996 20:14:27 -0700 (MST) Message-Id: <199611140314.UAA00254@obie.softweyr.com> From: Wes Peters To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Troubled FreeBSD installation Reply-To: softweyr@xmission.com, wes@phbtsus.com Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I wrote earlier about having trouble installing the latest 2.2 SNAP over the net. I've moved home now, and taken a hard drive with me, and now have the following situation: My system at home has FreeBSD 2.1.5 installed on sd0. I removed my wd0, which holds Win95, and put my drive from work in it's place. I installed 2.1.5-RELEASE from my scsi CD-ROM; everything went fine. When I reboot, however, I cannot boot from the IDE drive. This is the same behavior I noted at work. Here at home, since I have the SCSI drive, I can hit F5 to move to the second disk, load the boot loader from there, and at the Boot: prompt type wd(0,a)/kernel and load the system from wd0. I still cannot boot directly from wd0 however. I need to have this system up tomorrow; we're supposed to be moving our entire CVS tree over by Friday. Can anybody think of why the boot program isn't getting run correctly? I tried disklabel -B wd0 to see if installing new bootblocks would help, but this had no effect on bootability. Again, thanks in advance for any help that might be offered. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Each entry in /etc/{master.}passwd has a group id against each user. This is the *primary* group. The user does *not* also need to be in the membership line in /etc/group for their primary group, since they are automatically a member of the group.

(I don't remember seeing a PR) If there is any 'bug' here, it is in su, which should also check pwd->pw_gid for wheel's group id (it doesn't do this - it probably should).

The SMC9332DST would be a rock solid card, I have sold 100's of them and only had 2 reported field problems, one tracked to bad cabling, the other had something to do with trying to run it out of the uplink port of a Cisco 7000 with a cross over cable, fixed by putting a hub between them.

It appears that the driver needs some work to support the new style PHY/MII interface that all of the manufactures of DC21140 cards are changing to. My SMC master distributor has informed me that the 9332DST is discontiued, being replaced with the SMC9332BDT. I have ordered some of his last stock on the DST, but that will be gone in days :-(. I have 4 different manufactures (soon 5, a SMC9332BDT is on it's way) that use a new interface chip to the external world, a quick look at my DFE-500TX revision C1 shows a DP83840VCE and DP83223V being used.

Known fact, most of the vendors that I am dealing with on the DC21x4x based cards have _ALL_ done design revisions in the last few months. Some of these cards still work fine, others the cards are totally non-functional now under FreeBSD :-( Most of these changes involve either going from the DC21040 to the DC21041 chip and changing some other things (most of this should now be fixed by the recent update to the driver, I just haven't had time to dust off the dead product sitting on my shelf and start testing them, and it is a low priority issue for me since I have functional product in the KNE40BT cards using the DC21041 chip.) The bigger issue is the DC21140 based cards, they have also all been revised to use a new PHY/MII interface chip(s), and it seems even the latest version of the driver is not dealing with this fact :-(. > > It might also help if those larger shops who are having problems would > consider sending one of the failing cards to David Greenman - we can't > fix what we can't see. :-) I am not only willing to hand carry them over to David, I will pay him some reasonable fee to work on and fix the driver to support both the new versions of the cards from SMC (SMC9332BDT) and the D-Link DFE-500TX.

Of these a quick look at things shows that the DFE and KNE cards are using the same chips and shouldn't be too bad to fix, the Compex is a tossed in thing I had laying around, and I don't really care if it gets fixed or not.

Yes it seems but this other is in every case the same 00:00:0c:15:e7:0d It seems, it is changing it's ip number 2 times per minute because it is routing ip packets inside our net. I know it is a Cisco routing device + we are using "classless" internet (variable length masks). I am not expert in routing etc. just trying to run some FreeBSD nodes. Network gurus admit there is a problem in the network, but why only FreeBSD nodes seem to suffer from it?

In fact, the only time I've ever seen our FBSD machines totally lock was a SCSI bus problem. If that happened to me, I would tend to think it was a fault of some sort, causing the machine to autonamously reboot itself, rather than the act of an intruder. > In any case, what should we do?? If it starts to happen often, you may want to start hardware troubleshooting the machine. If it never happens again, I wouldn't worry about it.

The main symptoms are ppp gets a SIGHUP and freezes before either a "login OK!" or "login failed." appears. Furthermore, the log messages appear in a strange order. It's repeatable in that I get the same screen outputs and log messages each time. Manual dialup works just fine. I've started to grub around in the sources and have concluded that it'll take at least an evening or two of hacking to figure out just what's going on (more if I have to learn about the ppp spec) and how to fix it, so I'm posting this in the hope that there's a quick fix and/or someone's seen this before. ** Configuration: Cyrix 686 in a Gigabyte MB running at 133/66 MHx.

In particular, there's no complete reference for commands. It was necessary to browse the source to determine that the debug level variable modified by the "set debug" command is in fact a bit vector and that the commant takes a sequence of integers in [0-5] ( or ascii strings naming the features to log). Also, the examples use "ername:-\\r-ername:", though my reading of the parser in chat.c indicates that it's really expecting "ername:-\r-ername:".

Since the *Connected! msg is printed in ModemTimeout() when it detects that DCD goes high, why is it appearing as late as it does, i.e. near the end of the login chat? Clearly some number of things are happening out of order. What causes this and what's the fix? Suspects: Clock/timer problems related to the 686? Modem configuration? A difference in how the two dialing methods deal with the ASCII text sent by the remote host when it starts its ppp? A bug in the protocol initialization code?

What about this 00:00:0c:15:e7:0d? What's it's ip number? 130.234.137.43, 130.234.137.46 or 30.234.138.11? It has 3 different (!) ip numbers in 5 minutes. Maybe I included too few lines of /var/log/messages. Here you have more ip numbers and ethernet address. Note how often this 00:00:0c:15:e7:0d (*) appears and how often it is CHANGING it's own ip number! The date is Nov 14 all owwrwrites listed in that day. At every occasion of overwrite one terminal (micro) connection goes down and one angry FreeBSD user is complaining about how bad things work here ... yes, about 2-3 in 10 minutes. 08:43:30 overwritten

It is cosco router 2. netmasks are OK, but we use unclassified ip, that is mask is varying 3. Netmasks of the two nodes: the FreeBSD and the micro are correct, they are 255.255.0.0 4. There is some nodes with some other masks between 255.255.0.0 - 255.255.255.0 I think proxy arping is in use.

Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 14:07:35 -0500 From: "Brian J. McGovern" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm tinking with an application that I will be using as a pseudo-shell for users to dial up and pick up and drop off some files on a FreeBSD server. In order to maximize security, I decided to cd in to their home directory, then chroot to that directory. In their home directory, I have created a directory called bin, statically linked csh, ls, more, rz, and sz. The program has been set set-uid root. On execution, it changes directories and chroot's with no error (error codes are 0). However, if I try to run (for instance) /bin/csh, bin/csh, bin/ls, or /bin/ls using a call to system() (ie - system("/bin/csh") ), it returns an error code 4. In any event, I can't seem to figure out what this is implying (as when I do a getcwd, it seems to work. I haven't tried changing directories to bin, but it anyone could shed some light on my mistakes, I'd appreciate it. Below is a terribly hacked piece of code. I apologize to those to try to read it, but its the results of several hours with the chainsaw. -Brian PS - BTW, all of the functions work fine when I try not to chroot, and do it in the "normal" filesystem. /* This program is a 'shell' to ease the use of remote communications, and to assist in the security thereof.

Currently, this means that I download a PCMCIA-ready installation floppy from Tatsumi Hosokawa at http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa/PAO/ While not a great effort, this means that I have to hold on to that extra floppy. I would be *much* happier if the PCMCIA stuffs would be included as part of the FreeBSD distribution - or at least the installation floppy - even if as an "unsupported" subdirectory. Incidentally, I can also only run FreeBSD 2.1.0 or 2.1.5 as installation floppies are only produced for the most current official release. This is why I am not testing 2.2 via one of the snapshots. Assuming that there would be room on a CD for it, I don't see any reason not to include the install floppy. If there are reasons, I'd like to know what they are (I did notice Hosokawa wasn't listed as a contributor - is the package non-free?). ===================== Thanks for your time, -Oly From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 14 11:50:45 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA00230 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 14 Nov 1996 11:50:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA00225 for ; Thu, 14 Nov 1996 11:50:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from www.hsc.wvu.edu (www.hsc.wvu.edu [157.182.105.122]) by who.cdrom.com (8.7.5/8.6.11) with ESMTP id LAA00433 for ; Thu, 14 Nov 1996 11:50:17 -0800 (PST) Received: (from jsigmon@localhost) by www.hsc.wvu.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA29814; Thu, 14 Nov 1996 14:48:45 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 14:48:41 -0500 (EST) From: Jeremy Sigmon To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu cc: jadeite , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Bug in 1014???

It is releated to the kernel configuration. I noticed the same problem in 2.1 release, and it goes away in 2.1.5-release. However, it comes back in 2.2-9608xx-SNAP and 2.2-961014-SNAP. The problem is the maxusers to be limited to 15. If the maxusers is set to 16 or higher, it breaks NCR and ATM drivers somehow. The symptom is that the driver registers are mis-configured. I don't know why and how, so I need more information about what changed on this part. I do not know if it breaks other drivers so far. So, please let me know what has been changed in system configuration from 2.1 -> 2.1.5 -> 2.2-SNAP which may cause such problem, I may easy to trace down where the problem occurs, and try to make sure it will not happen again.

BUT ONLY FreeBSD nodes do not work properly with the problem. All other system work normally I repeat: 2-3 connections to the FreeBSD node break down in every 10 minutes (in one node, we have 2 servers running FreeBSD). So if students were evil enough and did know my room number I could get one visitor after 3-5 minutes complaining about connections breaking down unexpectedly. I think every arp overwrite is breaking one connection down (I am not 100% sure of this, I have traced only few of them).

Then other folks were giving individual options such as "NMBCLUSTERS=4096", "CHILD_MAX= ", "OPEN_MAX= "... Which is correct? And if MAXUSERS can do all of this, what is the formula it uses to generate the other values? >From what I can tell, it looks like the following requirements must be met for a high-performance dedicated web server: 1. Being able to have enough processes for all incoming requests 2. Being able to have enough files open (4-ish/apache process for access, error, browser, referer) 3. Having enough buffer space for the sockets If I can get some good answers on this, I'd love to throw together a page for the FAQ titled "Optimizing FBSD for high-performance web serving" or the like... Then next time someone asks, everyone can say "Look at the FAQ!"

FWIW, most other OS's allow this operation and simply don't warn about it, so the only thing different about your FreeBSD box and anyone else's is that you're logging it. If the router is sufficiently misconfigured, it might be ARP'ing for the address and then sending a redirect when you send it traffic. Can you run "tcpdump -p icmp" and see if you are getting redirects from whatever IP address maps to 0:0:c:15:e7:d? There's a bug relating to such redirects that might be biting you.

Ugh. You'd have to ask XFree. I don't think they have enough RAM to do anything decent...not even 320x200x16 colors, which is pretty pathetic. :( You should be able to find a leftover generic VGA card at any computer junk shop that they will just GIVE to you....

Make sure you are configuring the ethernet card with the proper IRQ. 2. Try at a different time. ftp.cdrom.com/ftp.freebsd.org is a big machine with lots of users, so it does get slow over the day.

In all these cases, it is because the geometry is misdetected on the target disk. Try reinstalling, this time put a small DOS partition on the disk, then delete it from the install program and put FreeBSD over it.

I don't speak for the FreeBSD Project leadership here, but my thought is that since the install disks lag behind the releases, it doesn't make much sense to produce a 2.2 CD with a 2.1.5 PCCARD installer on it which won't work on that distribution anyway. > Assuming that there would be room on a CD for it, > I don't see any reason not to include the install > floppy.

I think there is some new stuff coming in 2.2 that will help solve this. In any case, though, you're in the tight spot of having both ide and SCSI. You may be able to edit the necessary files and build a new boot block, but it's not fun.

I have a few questions, 1 How to adjust kernel memory parameter? Do I have to adjust something if I for example want the system to focus on running as server than as desktop, or if I want to add more virtual screen or running X faster, because I use as desktop than a server. Or how to reconfigure to make my system run faster if I add more memory from 16 to 40, and other stuff like that... 2 Why when my man pages updated when I add new s/w while xman do not follow? 3 How to build locate database?

It begin to be annoying :-) Adduser enforces a type of system administration where everyone has their own login group and you add people to other groups for permissions. It solves problems with the 1024 character limit / line in /etc/group and makes some sysadmin tasks really easy. Note that you can configure adduser to put the user in other groups, and if you got really annoyed with it you could vi /usr/bin/adduser and fix it. :) adduser is a perl script BTW. > 2) How I can send a mail to all the user of a group ?

Copy the group line into /etc/aliases, put a space after the :, save/quit, and run 'newaliases'.

It is in fact linked to psm0 and always has been. I think that a big problem is that psm0 wants the same memory addr as sc0 (syscons driver 0x60). I change the mem addr of psm0 to 0x40 but that just crashes the machine before it even gets a chance to boot (note: 0x40 does not conflict with anything ) Can you recommend another mem addr for psm0? I am using it on irq 12 (irq 5 is taken by ed0) Please tell me that there is a better way than having to boot from a dos disk (which I don't have) and then use the logitech installer disk (which is far away) to set the irq/mem addr of the device manually:) OR! I could just install the 961008-SNAP and hope my tribulations are vanquished. But I'd like to avoid that untill I get this one working.

I partitioned my D:\ for freeBSD, it also has DOS in there too. And another thing is, that I have a 1.6 Gig space on my D:\ and when I do the partitioning , it only shows that I have 1551MB, I think this is the max DOS can handle and FreeBSD read that info from DOS so it gets the same size, do you know if I can configure it to a higher size so it will see that I have a 1.6 Gig instead of a 1551MB.

We use DEC cards (DE450 for 10mbps and DE500 for 100mbps). They are not that cheap, but DEC has excellent service (at least here in Israel), so we buy almost everything from them.

I do remember writing to questions a while back asking why it takes a second commit to get the install process started over secure NFS. I hope the above line was part of the message that I sent out a while back. If it isn't, I would like to know who's system sunbeam belongs to. To make further assumptions (a bad thing), if I didn't write the above line and the machine doesn't belong to anybody else, who is mounting my machine? I don't remember setting it up as a slave server... It's not that I discourage such sharing of resources. On the contrary, but our subnet is already overwhelmed.

From the name, it sounds as if tcpdump might be similar to iptrace: it traces a specific interface and shows the traffic. There are a number of options--read the man page for more info, or see volume I of TCP/IP Illustrated (Stevens) for some practical uses. ipreport says nothing to me. Could it be like netstat?

This line was 124 characters long, so I've taken the liberty of reformatting it as a paragraph. Please try to keep line lengths down below 80 characters. Probably your best source of information on this is Steven's "UNIX Network Programming" (Prentice-Hall), which goes into some detail on both. > Is there any situation wherein TLI would be a better choice over Sockets?? Depends on who you ask :-) Seriously, it makes more sense on newer System V systems, since sockets are just an emulation library on top of STREAMS. I think TLI's a pain to program, though.

Create a directory /var/crash and modify your /etc/sysconfig: # Set to the name of the device for kernel crashdumps, or `off' to # disable any statically configured dumpdev, or NO for no change. # The device should normally be one of the swap devices specified # in /etc/fstab. dumpdev=/dev/wd0s1b # Set to YES if you want kernel crashdumps to be saved for debugging savecore=YES After this, and after rebooting, any panic will be saved in /var/crash. Check out the online handbook for first steps in dump analysis. You'll also get a console message telling you the cause of the dump, though this won't be logged.

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. Bear in mind that I am not the keeper of -questions. Others may have other opinions, and as long as they're polite, they're welcome.

I assume the error is in network gateway unit at 00:00:0c:15:e7:0d Yeah, this gateway seems to be configured to perform as ARP proxy, that is it sends an ARP packet with its own MAC address for every host that it thinks is not on local network (then it tries to deliver it according to its own routing rules, but in this situation it will hardly success :-)). Just disable ARP proxy on your router, or make it recognize your net as local, or move it to another ethernet segment, if you can't do either. > One network guru here is explaining the gateway unit is sometimes > answering too fast to the caller or something, faster than the FreeBSD > node. As I see from the ethernet address of your router, it's Cisco. I had similar problem some time ago, there was a misconfigured Cisco in our LAN, which we had no authorization to configure. And as I've seen, hosts under FreeBSD & Novell usually respond to ARP requests slower, than Cisco, and hosts under OS/2 and Win'95 used to respond faster. Of course, it could be due to hardware differences or host position in ethernet segment. -- Sincerely yours /&rew *** Andrew V.

So the local compiler has to give a key to each binary when it's compiled, and when executed there'd be a check for that key. ? That way only people who have access to the compiler may generate binaries, and no 'foreign' binaries will be executed by the syetem. If this is too easy to break, is there perhaps a way to specify from which directories binaries may be executed ? - Rob. /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 15 05:33:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id FAA12577 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 05:33:17 -0800 (PST) Received: from scotty.masternet.it (scotty.masternet.it [194.184.65.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id FAA12569 for ; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 05:33:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from gmarco.eclipse.org.eclipse.org (ts1port1d.masternet.it [194.184.65.23]) by scotty.masternet.it (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA01183; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 14:31:32 +0100 (MET) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19961115135221.00a2d894@scotty.masternet.it> X-Sender: gmarco@scotty.masternet.it X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Fri, 15 Nov 1996 14:27:15 +0100 To: David Dear From: Gianmarco Giovannelli Subject: Re: 6x86 Cc: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/enriched; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk At 18.53 12/11/96 -0500, David Dear wrote: >Will FreeBSD run on the new 6x86 P166+ ? > Yes, here it works fine and fast... only use in the kernel definition file : cpu "I486_CPU" Regards... +-------------------------------------+--------------------+ | Internet: gmarco@masternet.it | ,,, | | Internet: gmarco@nettuno.it | (o o) | | BIX : ggiovannelli@bix.com | ---oo0-(_)-0oo--- | | http://www2.masternet.it/ | Gianmarco | +-------------------------------------+--------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 15 05:43:10 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id FAA13259 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 05:43:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from light.pomona.edu (light.pomona.edu [134.173.72.79]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id FAA13254 for ; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 05:43:02 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (jadeite@localhost) by light.pomona.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id FAA04414; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 05:42:53 -0800 (PST) Date: Fri, 15 Nov 1996 05:42:53 -0800 (PST) From: jadeite To: Sann Yam cc: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu, questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: can't boot up In-Reply-To: <9611150728.AA12756@futon.sfsu.edu> 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, 14 Nov 1996, Sann Yam wrote: > > > > On Wed, 13 Nov 1996, Sann Yam wrote: > > > > > I'm trying to install the FreeBSD ver 2.1 on my machine, and > > > everytime it boot up to the point after the VGA setting, it says > > > "change root devic to wd1a", and then there's message that says > > > panic, cannot mount root... and then the system gives 15 sec to stop from > > > rebooting.

Today we received two new servers for our intranet. We had absolutely no problems with the SMC Etherpower 10/100 in our older servers (running 2.1.0 Release and now 2.1.5 stable), so we ordered the new servers with this card. Our dealer informed us that there is a new version of the SMC Etherpower 10/100 requiring new NT drivers. He had NT preinstalled on the machines, so he could test them. We formated the disks and installed 2.1.5 Release. The generic kernel on the bootdisk recognized the card, but after initializing the linkstate led on the card went off. It was not possible to use it. After putting the complete (and about 24h old) /usr/src and /usr/obj from 2.1.5-stable on a tape, installing it on the new machine and installing the latest stable-kernel, I did a reboot. This time, the linkstate-led is on, but I received "de0: transmission timeout" messages. After successfully locating an "old" SMC card in an unused PC I installed it in the new machine. It works flawlessly. It seems that the new version isn't fully compatible to the old one. Is there a patch available? The markings I found are: "old" SMC Etherpower 10/100: 60 600518-002 REV A 1994 9332 DST Digital 21140-AB DC1010CA "new" : 60 600542-000 REV A 1996 9332 BDT Digital 21140-AC DC1036DA The new board is much smaller, has less chips and no 9-pin sub-D port.

I had a bit of fun playing with this problem as well. There are four possibilities for dealing with it, as I understand things (I'm sure someone will correct me). 1. The 2.1.5 boot loader lets you specify that you'd like to boot from (for example) 1:sd(0,a)/kernel. This specifies the first SCSI disk (0), which also happens to be the second BIOS disk (1), and makes the setting of the root device work properly. This requires no tweaking of the bootblocks, but I don't know how to make it the default from BOOTEASY (it sounds like, from the original text, it doesn't "just do it"). 2. If you want to rebuild the bootblocks (again, this is for 2.1.5), you can look at the BOOT_HD_BIAS macro definition in sys/i386/boot/biosboot/Makefile. Again, not sure how to make this a default. 3. The solution that I adopted, which is kind of the sledgehammer approach, was to install GRUB (http://www.uruk.org/grub/). Initially I thought it would be the answer to my problems, but I wound up making a couple of patches to it as well (in a similar vein as #2). I've sent patches back to the author. Anyways, I think this method should work on 2.1.0 as well. Send me mail if you feel adventurous and want my patches. YMMV. 4. From prowling around in the CVS tree, it does indeed look like 2.2 will have a more flexible way of passing arguments (such as the kernel to boot) to the bootloader. So you could wait for that. :-) Bruce.

Apparently the bootblocks have the location of the boot code embedded in them somehow (probably when disklabel writes the bootblocks). When I finally re-installed using the *real* disk geometry, rather than the default lame-brain "LBA" mode, everything worked fine. I've got 2.1.5-RELEASE installed on the machine now, running off a WD21000 (wd0), with a WD21600 (wd2) for storage.

It began setting everything up fine, until i guess, close to the end, and finally said: "the following errors existed in your installation" then said, "can't find the following dirs" /bin /des /manpages /doc, i think thats the dirs that it couldn't find...anyway, do you know why it can't find the dirs??? i have set it up like the installation file said. but no luck...any ideas??? The bootmanager and everything works fine, but when i select F5 (disk2) and go into freeBSD, it just goes to the boot screen, and said "can't find /kernel" Oh ya, now i can't access the slave in dos, and it doesn't show up anywhere, and now when i type a cmd in DOS, it tries to read of the CD!! crazy eh?

Dumb ones that don't fake the Sun into thinking a keyboard and monitor are there (i.e. you have to have the switch set to the machine that needs to boot), and those that can fake the sun (i.e. it looks like a keyboard is always there regardless of the switch position. If you're switch is of the first variety, then you need to make your PCs bios, not care if a keyboard is there or not. I.e. turn off keyboard check if possible. Paul. -- Paul T.

What has happened is that the /etc/crontab file has been checked into root's crontab entry. You need to run as root crontab -r to delete root's crontab. The /etc/crontab is a special format in that there is a user field. The regular user crontabs don't have this field.

Well, FreeBSD doesn't support PnP except on very specific devices, so you should make sure the devices in question can configure themselves to constant settings. Otherwise they will dance all over and make FreeBSD nuts.

Ummm... and the problem is...? As far as I am aware, byte oriented data can be written to unaligned addresses on any UNIX architecture that I have seen. xread is explicitly called with what is clearly a byte oriented buffer. If you are possibly worried about something such as the atomicity of reads (potentially valid in a threaded environment, or one using shared memory), I agree that there may be some concern. Since it is not clear to _me_ that such atomicity of access would be valid under the same circumstances even with read(), I would probably code around the situation anyways. Is there some other problem that I am missing? I've done this sort of things for several years now... ...

But on a blocking socket, it doesn't make sense to have to issue multiple system calls to read chunks of a whole message when you aren't going to do anything with it until all the reads have been satisfied? It makes sense to do it on the server, if you have a server getting messaged from a bunch of sources, but that's just moving the packet assembly into user space. You'd expect the server to have a higher premium on interleaving operations than on atomicity of transactions. Even so, this only becomes a problem if you send "outrageously large" packets in a single write. You'd think that you could move it back down into kernel space by the select not coming true until all frags had been reassembled. I could see SO_RECVBUF putting a limit on your biggest message size in that case. The MSG_WAITALL seems like, even without the flag, it would be the default behaviour for the read. The alternative is to push the "frag" assembly ("frags" in this case being buffers larger than SO_RECVBUF cut into SO_RECVBUF) up into the user program, an dictate to the user how he must code a state machine in user space in order to use the interface. Ugh, copy overhead. Bleah. 8-(. I suppose one very real possibility is that he's trying to send huge packets... most of the drivers don't support them, and the DEC driver supports them only with a couple of patches that Matt and Amancio beat out between them a while back... If it's huge packets, he's probably SOL, and needs to redesign his stream formatting. Anyway, let's wait and see what clarifications he has to offer before we speculate ourselves to death. 8-).

I was under the impression that the MSG_WAITALL was for messages that had to be passed up to free up the receive buffer, and was put there to allow the copy to the user buffer to occur in SO_RECVBUF-sized chunks. Again, we aren't really interested in the non-blocking socket case...

On a non-blocking socket, right? Or in the case of a blocking call for more bytes than SO_RECVBUF (which you can determine via getsockopt and therefore never trigger). Can it return less than N otherwise? The WAITALL case is only for the user buffer larger than SO_RECVBUF, right?

There is no preservation > of record boundaries with TCP. I am talking about imposing structure on the stream on the basis of forcing the programs to communicate with the stream using record sized chunks. It's irrelevent what happens in the wire, or how the kernel chooses to copy the byte-oriented data into the user buffer on the receiver, so long as the receiver is not falsly notified that the request has been fulfilled. I admit that there is an implication here that I didn't take into account: That two writes to a socket will not be agregated across write buffer boundries into a single packet, OR that the receiver will read an amount such that if agregation occurs, it is irrelevent to the receiver's ability to distinguish the boundries. I have to say that SO_RCVLOWAT and SO_RCVTIMEO screw this considerably, in their roles as vmin/vtime equivalents. 8-(. My advice for someone building a transaction oriented protocol would be to set SO_RCVLOWAT to the same value as SO_RCVBUF, and to never, ever do packets larger than that as part of the formatted data. > > If you want to get technical, according to this description, if you are > > using a SOCK_STREAM, then a read on a blocking socket will act like a > > recv(2) or recvfrom(2) with flags MSG_WAITALL by default. > > read(2), recv(2), and recvfrom(2) all call soreceive() for sockets. read(2) > does NOT set MSG_WAITALL when calling soreceive().

Only in case of a timeout or a signal, both of which are error conditions. The default behaviour for BSD prior to the introduction of siginterrupt() was to restart all system calls interrupted by signal. If the default behaviour is used, then the only possible failure would be EPIPE, indicating a timeout (loss of connection) (assuming a blocking socket). > > Maybe you should be using SOCK_SEQPACKET instead of SOCK_STREAM? > > That might be difficult. > > A SOCK_SEQPACKET socket [ .... ] is protocol specific, and presently > implemented only for PF_NS.

No, Karl is doing this: 1) The *writer* is writing records of variable size with a prefix to indicate how many byte(s) follow. 2) The writer does this ASSUMING that all of the records will get delivered to the reader. 3) When the writer is done, he writes a "no more records follow" flag record. 4) All of those writes return with no errors. 5) The READER gets about 2700 of the records (out of 8500!) and NEVER SEES ANY MORE DATA.

Look at the code. soo_read() is what is called by the read system call, and it calls soreceive(). soreceive() returns whatever is waiting, up to what is requested, unless you set MSG_WAITALL. soo_read() doesn't set MSG_WAITALL, so the semantics of read() on a blocking socket is to return as much data is waiting, up to the amount that was requested. >But on a blocking socket, it doesn't make sense to have to issue multiple >system calls to read chunks of a whole message when you aren't going to >do anything with it until all the reads have been satisfied?

Dumb ones that don't fake the Sun into thinking a keyboard and monitor are there (i.e. you have to have the switch set to the machine that needs to boot), and those that can fake the sun (i.e. it looks like a keyboard is always there regardless of the switch position. If you're switch is of the first variety, then you need to make your PCs bios, not care if a keyboard is there or not. I.e. turn off keyboard check if possible. Paul. -- Paul T.

That doesn't sound like a great idea. What program are you trying to run though rsh? Remember it actually logs in as root, so if the port isn't secure then it won't be permitted.

That's a wild thing to get from that description. What I can get from that description is: - - data is not lost or duplicated. - - the connection is broken if data cannot be transmitted. - - the connection can be optionally send keepalives in the absence of data. - - an error is indicated if the keepalive fails. - - SIGPIPE means you wrote on a closed socket.

Actually, write will return when the data has been copied into the local transmit buffers, not when it has actually been sent. It's only when you run out of local transmit buffers that the write blocks. And well it should: something needs to tell the server process to quit making calls which the kernel is unable to satisfy.

Or he wants to call a write from a thread dedicated to that client, which may block the thread, but not the process, and therefore not other writes. The underlying implementation may use non-blocking I/O, or it may use an OS implementation of aiowrote (like Sun's SunOS 4.3 LWP user space threads library provided). It doesn't matter. That's the point of using threads. > Well, you use non-blocking I/O... and you take advantage of the fact that > the OS is capable of buffering some data on your behalf. > > Let's say you have "buf1" and "buf2" to write to "fd1" and "fd2", and "len1" > and "len2" for the size of the corresponding buf's. > > You write code to do the following: > > rval = write(fd1, buf1, len1) # Wrote 2K of data > len1 -= rval; # 1046528 bytes remain > buf1 += rval; # Move forward 2K in buffer [ ... ] > You can trivially do this with a moderately complex select() mechanism, > so that the outbound buffers for both sockets are kept filled.

If I wrote a library function which operated on a nonu user-opaque object like a socket set up by the user, then it would function for all potential valid states in which that object could be at the time of the call. For potential invalid states, I would trap the ones which I could identify from subfunction returns, and state that the behaviour for other invalid states was "undefined" in the documentation which I published with the library (ie: optimise for the success case). More likely, I would encapsulate the object using an opaque data type, and I would expect the users who wish to consume my interface to obtain an object of that type, operate on the object with my functions, and release the object when done. In other words, I would employ standard data encapsulation techniques. > I wonder if anyone has ever rewritten one of your programs, and made > a fundamental change that silently broke one of your programs because > an underlying concept was changed.

I have never seen *any* IPC transport work (reliably) with large data sizes... depending on your definition of large.

In this case, I want to validate the target address range once and copy direct out of the frag buffers into the user buffer. I can make similar arguments about write's of a mmap'ed region. I believe that an FTP server sending files to a client would qualify, after the initial descriptor header is sent, and the only thing left to send is the file data. Further, if tthe kernel detected this happening, it could asynchronusly complete, and delay the unmapping until the transmit was complete, tunring almost the entire transaction around in kernel space. The same thing goes for whole file downloads (ie: .EXE, .DLL, etc.) for DOS clients of a UNIX server.

I would suggest turning off all optimization, and see if that fixes it. o If it does, isolate the offending code, file-by-file, by turning on optimization one file at a time. You may get bit more than onces, so you should iterate this process once you find one file, and back it out. This process will, if you go for half the remaining code at a time, take you log2(N) * M complies for N files and M places you get bitten. 8-(. o If it doesn't, then it is a generic problem in the code generator or a semantic change in an asm statement somewhere. You will need to mix and match compilers, with the same effects. I would suggest using two compilation directories and sapping the time dependencies to let you copy objects back and forth and link. Then it's cc -S time, and diff the -S files. 8-(.

So? Making things more complex is a small tradeoff if it makes it POSSIBLE to do something in the first place. Tell me, how else do you do this on a system that does NOT support threads? You can select() on writability and send one byte at a time on a blocking socket until select() reports no further writability. Poor solution. > > A little hard to do without nonblocking sockets.

We have threads. _FREE_BSD is not limited this way. _FREE_BSD has threads. The local 4.3BSD Tahoe system (it _is_ a BSD system, I hope you would agree) offers nonblocking writes but does not offer threads. Ultrix does not offer threads. I am sure there are other examples... You are missing the point as usual. BSD != FreeBSD, and FreeBSD != UNIX in general. I am continually amazed that someone like you could make that error...

The statement which originated _THIS_ discussion was your assertion that "Non-blocking sockets for reliable stream protocols like TCP/IP are a stupid idea." I do not care about Karl's problem... he may well have a legitimate problem, and I agreed that it was probably beyond the scope of a usage discussion given his description. I do not care about Marc's problem... that is a separate issue. I am simply correcting a misconception that you are spreading that non-blocking sockets are a "stupid idea". > > Please tell that to FreeBSD's FTP server, which uses a single (blocking) > > write to perform delivery of data. > > > > Why should an application developer have to know or care what the available > > buffer space is?

I agree that there are merits on both sides. The read() returning what is available is probably more generally useful, and that seems to be what is implemented. I am not going to argue with the design and implementation of the Berkeley networking code, since it is widely considered to be the standard model for networking. Most other folks have not found this to be a critical design flaw, and neither do I. I can see several cases where a blocking read() call would be a substantial nuisance, and so I think that the behaviour as it exists makes a fair amount of sense. > > > Indeterminate sockets are evil.

What do you define "potential valid states" to be? I do not claim to cover all the bases all the time, but I do at least catch exceptional conditions I was not expecting. In my case, I would try to write a socket-handling library function to handle both blocking and non-blocking sockets if it was reasonably practical to do so. If not, I would cause it to bomb if it detected something odd. I think you are saying the same thing: that is good. > More likely, I would encapsulate the object using an opaque data > type, and I would expect the users who wish to consume my interface > to obtain an object of that type, operate on the object with my > functions, and release the object when done.

I document my assumptions. So what? If I, as the engineer who replaces you five years down the road, decide that your program needs to use non-blocking writes, and I change the program to do them, and I miss one place where you failed to check a return value, your "documented assumptions" are worth diddly squat. Code your assumptions when they are this trivial to check. > > Any software author who writes code and does not perform reasonable > > sanity checks on the return value, particularly for something as important > > as the read and write system calls, is hanging a big sign around their > > neck saying "Kick Me I Code Worth Shit". > > On the other hand, "do not test for an error condition which you can > not handle". One can handle ANY error condition by bringing it to the attention of a higher authority. My UNIX kernel panicks when it hits a condition that it does not know how to handle. It does not foolishly take your advice and "do not test for an error condition which you can not handle". To do so would risk great havoc. You ALWAYS test for error conditions, PARTICULARLY the ones which you can not handle - because they are the really scary ones. > If as part of my rundown in a program, I go to close a file, and the > close fails, what should I do about it? Not exit? Give me a break... No, but if a close() fails, and you had a reasonable expectation for it to succeed, printing a warning is not unreasonable. According to SunOS, there are two reasons this could happen: EBADF and EINTR. If you are closing an inactive descriptor, it is clearly an error in the code, and I WOULD CERTAINLY WANT TO KNOW. If it is due to a signal, it is unclear what to do, but it is certainly not a "bad" idea to at least be aware that such a thing can (and has) happened! > > > It bothers me too...

And you can't, because you may have to perform multiple read() calls, is that your objection? I guess I don't really see how that is a major earth shaking crisis. Well, fine, go fix it.

I don't really like the idea either, but here is my problem. 3 machines. 1 UPS. Nice UPS 1400 APC. I want to plug all three into it and when the primary one detects the power out it can rsh to the others and shut them down before the battery dies. The primary would trust nobody. The other two would trust only the primary. If anyone can think of another idea that does not involve buying two more UPS then let me know. I got the idea from the script for upsd off of ftp.ww.com. As per the secure port does this mean I would need to set ttyp0+ as SECURE. I really don't want to do that. I was hoping that root could log in from a untrusted port if the entry was in the .rhosts file. I know that this could be spoofed, but only the primary machine is important. The other two are a workstation that I nuke every so often myself and a test server to try stuff out on. thanks for the help From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 15 16:02:16 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id QAA28201 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 16:02:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from www.hsc.wvu.edu (www.hsc.wvu.edu [157.182.105.122]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA28194 for ; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 16:02:13 -0800 (PST) Received: (from jsigmon@localhost) by www.hsc.wvu.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA07363; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 19:03:02 -0500 (EST) Date: Fri, 15 Nov 1996 19:03:00 -0500 (EST) From: Jeremy Sigmon To: Pasha cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD In-Reply-To: <199611152133.NAA21944@proxy1.ba.best.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > P.S.

You need to specify a device. /dev/rmt8 doesn't exist and hasn't existed for many years. We use this for our dump script to virutally the same device: rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 / rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /var rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /usr rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/rst0 /usr1 We use rdump but it's the same idea. The key is the 'f' flag which specifies a device. Note that nrst0 is the no-rewind device, while rst0 will rewind the tape. Our script above backs the machine up putting all the filesystems on one (or more if necessary) tape(s). > tar: can't write to /dev/rst0 : Input/output error > > Do I need to format the tape? If so how do I do that. No, it should work. Make sure the tape is mounted properly and you can see it with 'mt status'.

The manual and FAQ have been of no great help, because I wish to do a rather unconventional installation. I have no cdrom drive, and my internet acces is limited. I can download files one at a time (although reliability is an issue), and wish to download the appropritate files and then install from my DOS partition. It is proving to be a challenge to figure out exactly which files I need ( I want a minimum install and the ability to compile C++), and during my previous attempts at installation (several months ago) I ran into a few minor problems.

I don't really like the idea either, but here is my problem. 3 machines. 1 UPS. Nice UPS 1400 APC. I want to plug all three into it and when the primary one detects the power out it can rsh to the others and shut them down before the battery dies. The primary would trust nobody. The other two would trust only the primary. If anyone can think of another idea that does not involve buying two more UPS then let me know. I got the idea from the script for upsd off of ftp.ww.com. As per the secure port does this mean I would need to set ttyp0+ as SECURE. I really don't want to do that. I was hoping that root could log in from a untrusted port if the entry was in the .rhosts file. I know that this could be spoofed, but only the primary machine is important. The other two are a workstation that I nuke every so often myself and a test server to try stuff out on. thanks for the help From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 15 17:10:37 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA01562 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 17:10:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from nanguo.chalmers.com.au (nanguo.chalmers.com.au [203.1.96.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA01552 for ; Fri, 15 Nov 1996 17:10:33 -0800 (PST) Received: by nanguo.chalmers.com.au (Smail3.1.28.1 #8) id m0vOZHW-0002JUC; Sat, 16 Nov 96 11:10 EST Message-Id: From: robert@chalmers.com.au (Robert Chalmers) Subject: ejecting cd caddy?

I think what Gianmarco is wondering about is not why each user has a seperate group, but why each user is listed explicitly in /etc/groups. Since their primary group is already the group with their username, there is no need to have their name in /etc/group. All that is needed is the group entry with no user. ie., now it looks like: marcs:*:1000:marcs but it could look like: marcs:*:1000: and still do the same thing. AFAIK, it just does that because it wants to. Helps make it a little more explicit about what the groups are for I guess.

Thanks for the answer, but I was not asking about X windows configurations. What I want to know is: Kernel memory configuration, so when I want the machine to function as server, what should I do to make the machince run as server with maximum speed. It also goes when I want it to do desktop oriented, cache usage for this and that, like "configure" at SCO unix.

We don't do a very good job of dynamically allocating the vnode usage (and there are some tunables to help there.) Also, memory above 64M won't be automatically detected. The buffer cache is almost totally dynamic. There are some tunables that can help alittle bit in strange situations, but it is best to leave them alone generally. Our buffer caching system limits the number of dirty buffers so that you won't swamp your hard drives as much as with other systems when sync time comes around. We are still considering various design tradeoffs in that arena, but suffice it to say that there isn't that much to be tuned in the buffer caching area -- simply because the system tunes it all of the time (and does a pretty good job of it.) Here is the LINT config file from something approaching -current, with some comments as to what to remove added by me with a JSD prefix.

The connection is made (I can ping and telnet by name or number from Win95) but Netscape doesn't work--it has trouble finding things (especially on my own server) and apparently trouble getting things back to the Win95 machine. Also while I can pop mail up I can't get Eudora or MS Exchange to send mail. Neither of these problems occurs if I connect to Stanford's ppp service with Win95 (dynamically assigned IP addresses) or if I connect to my FreeBSD machine (office) using FreeBSD (home) instead of Win95. I have three IP addresses to use: one for office FreeBSD (its ethernet card) (x.x.x.163); one for the home machine running Win95 (or FreeBSD) (x.x.x.75); and a third to assign to the ppp interface if I want to do it that way. I tried setting up the pppd options file with local:remote addresses as x.x.x.163:x.x.x.75 and proxyarp, also using arp -s x.x.x.75 ethernet_hardware_address pub but this doesn't work. I also tried attaching x.x.x.157 to the ppp0 interface (in sysconfig) and setting the local:remote in the pppd options file to x.x.x.157:x.x.x.75, leaving in proxyarp. This doesn't work either. There seems to be something wrong with the routing here and I don't know what it is. I have only two static routes in sysconfig (multicast and loopback) and am not sure how to create another static route, that is, what to call it and what the routing should be; but it seems pppd creates a route from the local:remote entry. I can use user ppp on the FreeBSD machine if that works better. I have tried just about everything imaginable in Win95, in Control Panel > Network and in Dial-Up-Networking. Any suggestions about what might be wrong?

It seems that more than a couple of people are confused with the concept of groups. A user is in A primary group, notated in the gid field in the passwd file. A user's name does *not* have to be in the corresonding group line in /etc/group. usernames in /etc/group are for additional group memberships, not primary group allocations. (If anyone disbelieves, make sure your name is omitted from the primary group in /etc/group, login, then type 'id'). Total members in a group is the union of the set of users named in /etc/groups and those with the corresponding gid in /etc/passwd. So adduser does not solve any problem in this regard since the problem didn't exist in the first place except in the minds of the confused. adduser does the correct thing, as you noted, by: > Note that you can configure adduser to put the user in other groups, Yep, these "other groups" are the user's "other" group memberships that *do* have to be in /etc/group. > and if you got really annoyed > with it you could vi /usr/bin/adduser and fix it. :) .. and you'd be making it do the incorrect thing, in this case. > > 2) How I can send a mail to all the user of a group ?

Or write a few lines of perl - which I already sent to the poster - where doing this sort of thing is as easy as falling out of bed (and no, I don't do that often either :-)): #!/usr/bin/perl # Send mail to all members of a group ($group,$file,$subject) = @ARGV; die "usage: mail [group] [filename] \"[subject]\"\n" if !$group || !$file || !$subject; ($grnam,$grpwd,$grgid,$grmembers) = getgrnam($group); die "unknown group $group\n" if !$grnam; # First add each user in the group to the list of recipients @grmembers = split(/ /, $grmembers); foreach $member (@grmembers) { $members{$member} = 1; } # Now add any user with their primary group set to $group while (($nam,$uid,$gid,%quot,$cmmnt,$gecos,$dir,$sh) = getpwent()) { $members{$nam} = 1 if $gid == $grgid; } # Now, mail the file foreach (keys %members) { $cmd = "mail -s \"$subject\" $_ <$file"; print "$cmd\n"; system($cmd); } exit 0; Use of the hash rather than an array avoids duplicating the mail to the same users if someone had (ahem) redundantly added their names in /etc/group.

Make sure the ~root/.rhosts file is owned by root and not writeable by anybody else. It's also good practice to make it non readable by anybody but root as well. Doug wrote: > Somebody correct me on this, but doesn't this allow the > root user on the remote machine to gain root access to > your machine? That doesn't sound like a great idea. It is a security issue. It's usally only done when both machines are your machine, and both machines are on a trusted network (i.e. no untrusted or unsecure machines on the same subnet). The security is by name and IP address, so any machine with the same ip address could spoof your trusted machine. But this can only work when your machine is down and if the spoofing machine is on the same subnet as the trusted machine. If your machine was running, dup ip address errors would start showing up along with all sorts of other network problems. A remote machine on the Internet can set up their DNS server to say that their name is the same as your local machine, but rshd checks for this (for local trused machines or if the -a option is used) by doing a name lookup to verify that the name and ip match. This can not be spoofed as far as I know. As pointed out in other messages, if all you need to do is run shutdown, then maybe setting up a special account might be a safer way to go. > What program are you trying to run though rsh? Remember > it actually logs in as root, so if the port isn't secure > then it won't be permitted. This isn't true. If you do an rlogin, (or rsh with no comand which does an rlogin instead of an rsh) then this is true. But a plain rsh doesn't require you to make your ttys secure. For that matter, rsh doesn't even use ttys.
