I had this problem for the longest time, then I remembered that there used
to be a directory called 'nsmail' that was no longer there. Try making
this directory in your home directory.

The problem has been fixed in 2.2-BETA and -current.

> Does anyone use DOS 3.3 now?  Do people mount >3.3 filesystems successfully?

"DOS 3.3" really means filesystems compatible with DOS 3.3 rather
than created by DOS 3.3.  These are partitions types 1 (12-bit FAT)
and 4 (16-bit FAT) as well as floppy formats.

Partition type 6 (size exceeding 32MB) filesystems can be mounted
safely if the cluster size does not exceed 16K.  (For 2.2-BETA and
-current, this limitations does not apply.)

> Do people have experience mounting Windows 95 level DOS filesystems?

The partition types already mentioned work (with loss of long filenames).
More recently introduced types (ie. VFAT32) won't.

What you want is something like `popper' (in fact, maybe exactly that)
on the Solaris box which allows a mail client like MH or ELM running
on the FreeBSD box to suck mail off it.

I'm not up on all the vagaries of compiling popper for Solaris, but
that's the basic idea you want to chase.  Most of the FreeBSD ported
mailers already support POP transfers, now you just need to make your
Solaris box play ball.

In any case, you can probably get it to work any how. You need to
rebuild the kernel with the following two lines in it:
options	ATAPI
device	wcd0

and then (as root):
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV wcd0

and reboot.

I think that while you may have trouble with the SoundBlaster, the CD
should work fine. Just connects it as the slave to the primary EIDE
controller on your motherboard (daisy chanied after your first hard
disk). I have a CreativeLabs x8 CD working that way with 2.1.5. *Don't*
have it connected to the SoundBlaster.

This is a bug in sysinstall. Don't use it for installing packages. After
you have a running system simply do (as root):
pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/the-pkg

Nadav is also correct here - the major source of problems is the Sound
Blaster IDE controller; using a more standard IDE controller should
stand a much better chance of working (hey Soren, speaking of which,
have you received our cheque yet for the purchase of a Soundblaster
CDROM combo and other assorted IDE drives?  If not, let me know and
I'll go yell at somebody :-)

What's the best way to diagnose a system (2.1.6.1-R) that is running 
out of virtual memory?

I have a system here that has suddenly taken it upon itself to eat up 
all available memory and then (not surprisingly) refuses to do 
anything else. I don't recall doing anything much to it recently, so 
I'm at a loss to figure out what is doing the dastardly deed.

Thanks (and happy new year!)

Subject: mail exec and setuid
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org

I'm trying to make a program that should send automatically mail to other users.

It forks and the child part makea an exec to the mail program.

All is fine but when I do setuid() and setgid() in order to look like
another user (popuser, uid=1000). In that case I have the following messages:

Jan  1 17:24:54 www sendmail[323]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: putoutmsg (NO-HOST):
error on output channel sending "451 queuename: Cannot create "qfRAA00323"

Cannot create "qfRAA00323" in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=1000): Permission denied

Note that if I send the mail after logging as "popuser" I don't have any
problem, as well as I don't have any problem if the program makes setuid()
like root.

Many thanks,

Tonino

I've been having a lot of problems with my system bombing, so I turned on 
kernel debugging.  The last time it crashed, I snagged all the info in 
case it means anything to anyone:

fault virtual address	= 0x7200c4c
fault code		= supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer	= 0x8:0xf017c4b4
code segment		= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
			= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags	= trace/trap, interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0
current process		= 4 (update)
interrupt mask	=
kernel: type 12 trap, code=0
breakpoint at _ffs_update +0xa4:  cmpl  $0x1,0x52c(%ebx)

   From a layman's point of view, it looks like it choked trying to do 
something with the file system.

Randy, please note that you can easily install *any* of the packages
on the CD-ROM after the basic system installation, using the 'pkg_add'
command.  cd to /cdrom/packages/All and pkg_add each package you want,
one after another.  It'll even take care of installing dependant
packages for you.

If you prefer to use a local mail agent on your freebsd system, you
can get 'popclient' to download the mail from the server to your
normal system mailbox.

If the solaris box is at an ISP, they most certainly already have
a POP server installed.  You can find out quickly with:

	$ telnet {solaris box here} 110

If you get connected and see something like:

	QPOP (version 2.2-b7) at solaris.box.com starting.
	<6376.852156497@solaris.box.com>

You're ready to roll.  Just type QUIT<CR> to exit from the pop server.

/* Summary of the message: how to change the value of the `text='
field of BOOT? */

My FreeBSD (2.1) boot disk won't boot on my secondary computer.
First, here's the screen capture:

. ... . ..   clip. .. . 

>> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: [...]
Use hd(1,a)/kernel [...]
Usage: [...]
Use ? for [...]

Boot: -c
Booting fd(0,a)/kernel @ 0x20c000

Uncompressing kernel...done
Booting the kernelel...done
Booting the kernelel...done

. . . .  . . ... . . clip..  ..

This is where it stops.  I believe this happens because i
have an ancient Hercules adapter onboard, and nothing more
sophisticated.  There are two things that would support
this:

1)	the `text=0xfc000'; 0xfc000 is (i believe) the address
	for graphics adapters, my hercules board would be found at
	0xfb000
2)	the video output is screwed at the end, anything after the
	last `l' in the `Booting the kernelel...done' and the
	duplicated line are trash.

I tried to RTFM, but since i couldn't find much of a manual about
this on the CD, it tried the shotgun-way, which (suprise, suprise)
didn't do too much good.  :(

TIA, any help greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to get multiple systems booting from the NT boot menu.  I
read the FAQ (especially number 6.6) but all I've found so far talks
about everything being on the *same* disk.  I've got NT4.0, Win '95, and
FreeBSD on three separate IDE drives and can't seem to get it to work.

1st drive on primary IDE: Win NT 4.0
2nd drive on primary IDE: Win '95
1st drive on secondary IDE: FreeBSD 2.1.5
2nd drive on secondary IDE: CD-ROM

Any suggestions?  I've browsed Microsoft's TechNet and other online
resources, but no mention of multiple OS' on *different* disks.

I currently boot NT/Win95/FreeBSD/Linux using a neat tool called:
BOOTPART.EXE, that edits the WinNT boot.ini appropriately, and
creates the boot block files for booting the other OSes.  The
biggest problem that I had was that Linux had to reside on my
first IDE drive (LILO limitation.)

Hello,

  I was looking at your site and considering whether or not to download
the software.  So far I'm not planning to since it doesn't appear to
support the SSL (Secure Socket Layer).  I already have a small time
server that works just fine until the 16 connections max out (on a 14.4
baud modem it wouldn't be wise to have any more).  Well, I've gotta go
get some shut eye.

Yes.

I have several "newbie" type questions:

First, why aren't all GNU programs included in the PORTS collection?  (in
particular, GCC)

Secondly, when I installed GCC-2.7.2.1, I did a ./configure then a make,
then a make install - after this is there any reason to keep the
gcc-2.7.2.1 directory around?  I'm assuming after the install that I don't
need anything else from there (is that also true for any other program I
configure/make/make install)?

Finally, I'm running 2.1.6 - if I want to update to 2.1.6.1, what's
involved?  Do I start from scratch, or is there an update, or what (and
what are diff files for?)?  How about upgrading to 2.2 or current or stable?

One, two, ten or however many answers you can spare would be appreciated.

---Mike

I have a SMC 10/100Mbit/sec card attached to a 10Mbit/sec hub from
3COM.  As soon as the the driver initialises the green light on the port
goes off.  

I have changed my sysconfig file so that de0 has the -link2 switch set.
Running ifconfig de0 -link2 says that the de0 is now set to 10baseT. 
However, this does not reinitialise the port on the hub.  With the
change to the sysconfig file, the de0 driver is found during the PCI bus
scan and set to 100Mbit/sec.  Again the port light goes off and even
when the port is set to 10Mbit/sec the 3COM hub is not initialised
again.

What can I do?  I am going spare so please help.

Regards,

Hugh.

I'd like a little tool to help me record short audio messages.

Basically a Press key to start, and another to stop, would be
fine.  I'd like to invoke it from elm to produce audio emails.

Before I write one, is there such a beast out there?

NAS need not apply.  I'm not willing to have my audio device
hogged by the NAS server.

Thanks,

binutils-2.7 into FreeBSD 2.1.6 from the GNU collection?

Another option is to use "System Commander" from V communication. It's a
great program. I've used it to boot NT 4.0, Win95 oemsr2, Linux,
FreeBSD. on three different IDE drives. It detects new OS installed
automatically.

Does FreeBSD support NE2000 PCI cards? I could find reference to NE2000
isa cards but not pci.... Also, i was looking at readylink2000 cards
(www.cdx.com) specifically the pci version, does anyone know if this card
is supported, from what I can tell its not.
thanks.

I run the slightly newer versions, the SMC Elite Ultra and EtherEZ, with
no problem.

Get your butt booted back to DOS via floppy or whatever and use the SMC
install disk 
to ask it.  That's the  way to be sure, and it's what I do when I have
questions on 
a SMC or 3COM card configuration.

It may lie.  It truly only knows a card exists at the I/O address, the
IRQ or maddr
can be wrong and it will not complain.  Rude, I know.

This is often a bad IRQ or perhaps memory address.  See previous advice.

Hmmm. I'm up on 2.1.5 with those cards, so your milage may very.  If you
continue 
to have a problems, you may wish to jump to 2.1.6.  (I did that for
another system
with an EtherLink III card last night -- while the world was out
drinking and I was
asleep, that system loaded itself over the Internet.)  In any case, I
don't know if 
those cards had problems on 2.1.0.

Ummm - I'm not sure that booteasy is upto booting between DOS, Win95 and 
FreeBSD. I always had problems using it with more than 1 primary DOS 
partition. However in the tools directory there is a boot manager called 
osbs which is very powerful, and CAN boot from a second hard disk, an 
extended DOS partition, or any of the common unices

At the moment, I have a system with 300 MB Win95, 140MB DOS 6, and 440MB 
FreeBSD 2.1.5 built using 2 IDE hard disks and managed with osbs, and it all 
works fine.

Is it an error that Kerberos is enabled by default on FreeBSd 2.1.6
binaries by default, since the "make world" on the source does NOT
appear to include this support?  I'm getting warnings from numerous

annoying.

have a look at pinky.interaccess.com/jay/freebsd/ppp.html

What errors do you get?  How are you attempting to use the modem?  How 
have you told your program where to look for the modem?

There's probably an easy way -- btw are you sure the com port is
configured right?  That is, IRQ, I/O address, a line in your config file?

My Petium 120 is running FreeBSD 2.1. When I run the command netstat -r from

at best to complete. Why does it take so long? What is is doing that is taking
so much time(name lookup?)? Is there any way to improve the performance?

Subject: IDE Problem?
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

Is the note about IDE support being alpha quality apply only to the CDROM's
or all IDE devices?  I have obtained the Walnut Creek 2.1.5 August 1996
CDROM set and am having problems trying to install it.  I am on an all IDE
system though.  System is:

      ??? Motherboard w/PCI and VLB  (UMC I think, but it doesn't say anywhere!)
        32MEG Ram
        Conner 400Meg HD
        Seagate ST-1090A  HD (75Meg)
        NEC (Oak) IDE CD-ROM
        SMC Ultra/16 Ethernet combo card
        1.44M diskette
        1.2M  diskette
        SVGA Card w/1Meg Ram

I start the install by booting from a boot floppy.  I get through the config
utility to the point where it starts to actually do work.  It appears to make
it through the newfs commands and fails when it goes to write the kernal to
/STAND.  Exact symptom varies a little, but centers around a message indicating
that there is no kernal to write to the disk.  At first I thought it was just
because the CD-ROM is IDE.  Then I went back and made a DOS partition and tried
to install from that.  This way, I get the same basic problem.  Interestingly,
I found different failures depending on which IDE drive the DOS partition was
on and where in relation to the BSD partition (On the Conner drive) the DOS
partition was (before or after the BSD partition).  I am beginning to wonder
if I missed an instruction to change CD's or if I just got a bad set of CD's???

If you have any ideas, I would like to know what to try next.  If you would
like me to test something in this configuration, I would be happy to give it
a try.

Is sio2 detected during the bootup phase?

Is the card set to the irq value being reported in the autoconf log

Well, if you don't mind spending $50 (I think) you can get the CDs with
Greg Lehey's excellent book, THE COMPLETE FREEBSD.  This is a good guide
to setting up and running FreeBSD, written for the intelligent but
unused-to-FreeBSD reader. 

As for hidden costs: keeping your server up all the time may be expensive
in terms of internet access, depending where you get yours.  Also, check
your hardware against the lists of supported hardware at
http://www.freebsd.org, as FreeBSD can be somewhat picky (compared to DOS
and Linux, anyway). 

If you're worried about not knowing enough, well, do what I did when I
didn't know anything.  Read a lot of man pages, hang around with people
who know more than you do and ask a lot of questions, and read the
freebsd-hackers and -questions mailing lists.

Hi,

When I configured my XFree86 for my FreeBSD, and started it by startx, 
the screen seemed to be wrapped horizontally to left by 5-6 pixels and 
the extreme portion wrapped to extreme right portion.

I used "vidtune" and found out that if I select "EarlySC" button and test 
it, the problem is solved, and when I selected "show" button, it showed 
me following lines...

--------

"1024x768" 85.00 1024 1028 1148 1360 768 784 787 823

EarlySC "1024x768" 1

-------

The first line is there in my XF86Config file as 
modeline "1024x768" 85.00 1024 1028 1148 1360 768 784 787 823

But I need to update the file so that the second line ( EarlySC ... )
is included, but I don't know what prefix I should use ( like "modeline" in 
first line ) and also don't know where this line will go even with that 
prefix ...

If anyone knows about this, please tell me.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Miten.

Just a piece of info for you.. in the instalation instruction you
mention that you can only make a boot floppy from "dos mode." allthough
it will work, the user can also enter the regular DOS prompt mode and
type "lock" this will give him a warning that he's allowing programs to
access the drive directly to which he must say that he wants to (type y)
and then he can run rawrite without exiting windoze 95.

Name lookup is usually a cause of long timeouts. To check it out, simply
try netstat -rn. This will skip the lookups and display all address
numerically. If it runs fast, then the problem is name lookup.

FreeBSD *does* support SSL. Look in the ports collection, and there
you'll find SSLeay. SSLeay does 40 and 128 encryption.

I don't know about Hercules boards, but you misunderstand something.
The "text=" line has nothing to do with the display. In UNIX (and DOS
too, BTW) the "text" segment is the portion of the program that contains
static read-only data (that is, your code). What you see is the address
where the code of the kernel is loaded. That can be changed with some
hacking, but is completly irrelevant in your case.

This was the topic of a long discussion here once. For some people,
rawrite works in a normal Win95 command prompt without doing anything
special (I myself am among those). For others, even DOS mode is not good
enogh. The bottom line: whatever is written in the doc's, it will
probably be wrong for some people.

Hi,

When I configured my XFree86 for my FreeBSD, and started it by startx, 
the screen seemed to be wrapped horizontally to left by 5-6 pixels and 
the extreme portion wrapped to extreme right portion.

I used "vidtune" and found out that if I use either of
 	EarlySC "1024x768" 1, 
	InvertVCLK "1024x768" 1
 or 	BlankDelay "1024x768" 0 7

,the problem is solved,

I tried to put 'EarlySC "1024x768" 1' in Display subsection as i figured 
out that "EarlySC" is Display Subsection keyword. But when I tried to 
start the windows by "startx", I got following error message...
----------

EarlySC "1024x768" 1
^^^^^^^
Display subsection keyword expected.

--------------

Same error was given for other two availble options.

I am not able understand why it is giving error because my display driver 
is S3 for which these are proper display subsection keywords.

If anyone knows about this, please tell me.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Miten.

Actually there is.. but.. it might cause such tools to be bloated. A 
while back I wrote a tool which had to display X number of hostnames in 
its output, possible hundreds taken out of IP addresses, I simply 
implemented an asynchoronous lookup to do it. By writing out the query 
packets and shooting it off. (This was done after it did its original job).

Sadly alot of other applications like "netscape" on UNIX-like OSs seem to 
have this problem, they'll hang up on a gethostbyname() till the lookup 
is complete, this is even more annoying on a GUI app.

I had a look at the res library but I didnt find any "real" asynchronous 
lookup functions, would be nice if one was around.. like 
async_gethostbyname(...original arguments.., SIGUSR1), where it would 
signal when it got it.

I just setup ipfw for the first time and things seem to be working ok so
far.  The question is, when the box reboots, are all of the chain entries
lost?  If so, can I add them to /etc/rc.local to have them reinstated upon
reboot?

Happy New Year!

Help,

  I am trying to install the SMP kernel but have run into a problem. I
have followed all the steps in "Installing the FreeBSD SMP Kernel" but
have run into a problem on the "#make depend && make && make install"
step, it errors out with a "opt_smp.h: File not found". That file is
nowhere on the OS. I tried to make a mock file and receieved a bunch of
other errors relating to other header files which I can not find. 
  Question: Where are the header files needed to compile the SMP Kernel?

Another option is to run 'netstat -rn' instead.  This will return IP's
instead of FQDN's. :)

I'm trying to make a program that should send automatically mail to other users.

It forks and the child part makes an exec to the mail program.

All is fine except when I do setuid() and setgid() in order to look like
another user (popuser, uid=1000). In that case I have the following messages:

Jan  1 17:24:54 www sendmail[323]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: putoutmsg (NO-HOST):
error on output channel sending "451 queuename: Cannot create "qfRAA00323"

Jan  1 17:24:54 www sendmail[323]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: putoutmsg (NO-HOST):
error on output channel sending "451 queuename: Cannot create "qfRAA00323"
in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=1000): Permission denied": Input/output error
Jan  1 17:24:54 www sendmail[323]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(provapop): queuename:

Cannot create "qfRAA00323" in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=1000): Permission denied

Note that if I send the mail after logging as "popuser" I don't have any
problem, as well as I don't have any problem if the program makes setuid()
like root.

What should I do in order to look like another user?

Many thanks,

Tonino

 |Ummm - I'm not sure that booteasy is upto booting between DOS, Win95 and

 |osbs which is very powerful, and CAN boot from a second hard disk, an

 |

 |FreeBSD 2.1.5 built using 2 IDE hard disks and managed with osbs, and it all
 |works fine.

     Booteasy will boot just fine between DOS, Win95, and FreeBSD.  It'll
give you a menu very similar to:

       F1...DOS
       F2...FreeBSD
       F5...Second Disk

(FreeBSD will be on your second disk if that's where you put it -- hit F5
to get to a similar menu for the second disk).  If you select DOS, you'll
get the Win '95 boot menu.  Select "1...Normal" to go to Win'95 as usual,
and select "8...Previous version of DOS" to go to DOS outside of Win '95.

     This isn't from intuition.  I just reverified that this works as I
describe.  My msdos.sys/.w40 file is attached below for your perusal.

     However, I normally run OS-BS 2.0Beta8 (OSBS20B8.EXE from the ports
collection) a much nicer boot manager that's more configurable and
flexible.  You can configure which options appear, what they're called,
what the timeouts will be, etc.  And there's no chained menu for partitions
on a second disk -- its all one convenient menu.  I can even opt to boot
off my SCSI ZIP Drive with it.

     You might give both BootEasy and OSBS20B8 a shot and see which you
prefer.  For BootEasy, yank:
     ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/dos-tools/bootinst.exe
     ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/dos-tools/boot.bin
For OS-BS 2.0Beta8, pull:
     ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/dos-tools/osbsbeta.exe
Run these from "real" DOS, not Windoze '95.

     Also, related to your multiple primary DOS partitions, my
understanding is that there's a fundamental limitation in DOS for one
primary bootable DOS partition -- so that's a separate issue from the
booting DOS/'95/FreeBSD.  That's part of the reason '95 piggy-backs on old
DOS in the first place.  Nothing stopping you from having a primary on all
your disks (I do this) but always boot off the one on the first disk.

Hi,

I'm trying to add an IDE drive to a previously all SCSI 486 system.

I'm putting Windows 95 on the IDE and am going to eventually reinstall
FreeBSD on my SCSI drive, but in the mean time want to just add booteasy (or
OSBS) to the IDE so it points to the SCSI to boot FreeBSD (and old Win 95
slice until I get everything installed on the new disk). 

However the first time I did this, I got the 
"operating system missing" message when trying to boot FreeBSD or the
old Win slice. 

I have 2 possiblities for this:
	1) I installed booteasy on the IDE drive via a DOS shell under
	Win95. (and left OS/BS on the SCSI disk)

	2) When installing booteasy, I had ROM shadowing on for the IDE
	controller. It's manual said not to.

I installed 2.2 Beta as from what I read, 2.1.[56] wouldn't be able to
handle sd0 as sd0 when it's not the first BIOS disk.

Also, somehow the SCSI disks slice information got written onto the
IDE drive. I think this might have something to do with the shadowing. 

As it stands now. Win 95 is installed on the new disk, and it's 
controller is unplugged. I plug it in, and I can boot that disk, and pull
it to run FreeBSD. 

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul.

I am having a problem with my system which I have just upgraded from 
FreeBSD 2.1.5/XF86312(g) I believe to 2.1.6/XF32. mwm now dumps core 
often (mostly when I click once on a minimized icon) and several apps 
linked against the motif libs now dump core quite often. This definately 
did not happen before.

Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour? I am about to go back to 
XF86312 and see if that clears it up.

Question:

Windows 95 boots up.  It tells me the time is proper (9am or whatever).
FreeBSD boots up.  It has the CST timezone installed, so it interprets the
time at, like, 2am or something.

The question is (and I know this is an easy hack, humour me): is this the
intended behaviour?

If I was just running FreeBSD, this would be fine, but i'm not... I know I
can always hack out the timezone stuff, or just install GMT...

Am I making any sense?

Tim

I had this problem after upgrading from 2.2-ALPHA to 2.2-BETA.I guess it's
one of the things the upgrade part of sysinstall isn't "intelligent"
enough to do. For details, man adjkerntz.

Perhaps I'm strange this way, but *I* could have downloaded it but prefered
to wait the two days for the cd's to show up.  (thanks Walnut Creek!!)  When
I get a spare machine to play with/on, that might change.

As it was, the ethernet card worked under Win3.1/Win95, but not FreeBSD (it
was the 'new' smc9332).  In the process of bringing my system up, I
reinstalled the os at least 10 times.  If I'd have tried to use the internet
install, it would have been miserable.  As it was, thanks to the
installation program, it really wasn't that bad.  I've still had some
problems, but that's for another message.

All I wanted to say was there are some of us who will wait for the CD, even
if we have the latest and greatest available via internet.

The BETA seems to make the assumption that everyone's cmos clock is set to
GMT.  touch /etc/wall_cmos_clock  will fixit.

You need the (not obiously documented) MAXMEM option added to the kernel.
You can find a copy of it in the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT file, but it is
wrong. The line in question says:
    options "MAXMEM=(128*1024)"
which looks logical.  However, the compile craps out at the "("...  Put in
    options "MAXMEM=131072"
and it will work fine.

I've had to rebuild the kernel several times and have developed a script for
helping with that.  If you'd like it, just ask and I'll send it to you.
It's nothing to write home to mama about, but it does do some minor error
checking *and* it saves config file and kernel so you can back out to
whatever version you might want.

I was in the process of sending a message about this myself.  I had 14
packages not install because it couldn't find it (including XFree86, trn,
tcp_wrappers, ssh, expect, and kermit), and another 14 with "some error"
(including jdk, emacs, and mtools).

I'd be interested in any pointers...

Thanks muchly...

Be prepared -- this will cause wierd things to happen.  FreeBSD has
trouble detecting the boot disk in these cases.

You shouldn't have a problem with this, just install win95 FIRST, and use
a DOS boot floppy to install booteasy.  Win95's boot sector locking will
foil attempts to install booteasy under it.

Did you run Fdisk and make sure that the active partition is set to the
Win95 one on the IDE disk?   FreeBSD will reset the active partition bit
and if it's on the second disk it won't boot.

I have it on and it doesn't cause any problems.

Well, sort of. It won't be able to figure out how to boot it without a
clue from the Boot: prompt.

That shouldn't have happened.  Are you sure you installed to the right
disk?

This is from the Handbook:

10.2.1.5. CD Recordable (WORM) drives

At the time of this writing, FreeBSD supports 3 types of CDR drives
(though I believe they all ultimately come from Philips anyway): The
Philips CDD 522 (Acts like a Plasmon), the PLASMON RF4100 and the HP
4020i. I myself use the HP 4020i for burning CDROMs (with 2.2-current - it
does not work with 2.1.5 or earlier releases of the SCSI code) and it
works very well. See /usr/share/examples/worm on your 2.2 system for
example scripts used to created ISO9660 filesystem images (with RockRidge
extensions) and burn them onto an HP4020i CDR.

I believe it's done with a nameserver MX record and a change to the Cw
line in sendmail.cf.

People who have actually done this are free to comment :)

This question that was recently answered on this list, you must have
missed it: it seems sysinstall can't handle a bunch of packages at once.
Use pkg_add instead, it's really much easier anyway.

I don't care if FreeBSD will see the IDE, in fact, I probably won't 
add it to the kernel. I have a SyQuest drive if I need to move stuff between
the OS and Windows.

Ah ha, that's probably it then. I'll try with a DOS diskette.

So the second disk (SCSI sd0) should not have anything set as active?

That may be another problem.

I have this pseudo intelligent IDE controller from GSI. It says to not 
have Shadowing on when you're configuring drives, which I would guess
putting booteasy or OS/BS on would qualify.

So I'll still have to type sd(1,a)/kernel at the boot prompt?
Ick. Maybe a 120 meg partition for / and swap on the IDE is a better route?

Yeah, I pulled the SCSI's and it was still like that. Like I said, pseudo
intelligent controller.

Same here. There is no indication anywhere in my card's packaging or 
documentation that the card has a "new" chipset. The card itself has "REV 
A" hot-stamped on it, while the main DEC chip on it says "21140-AC" and 
there's a sticker on the card that says "Made in USA [B]". The "21140-AC" 
seems fairly definitive (i.e. more than simply 21140). Can anyone offer 
comparison to another working or non-working card?

Being curious, and comfortable with a "bash on it with a hammer until it 
works" approach, I used an old NE2000 compatible card and the 2.1.6 boot 
floppy to ftp the binaries and kernel source upgrades to 2.1.6-Release. A 
new custom kernel (essentials + ahc0 + de0) compiled cleanly for me.

The card/driver behavior "improved" in that the de0 driver does not 
disable the card as it did with 2.1.5-R. The Link and T/R lights on the 
card continue to blink festively. However, de0 now "enables" a 
non-existent BNC/AUI port (and no manner of "ifconfig de0 link" options 
would enable the actual UTP port).

I guess that doesn't prove anything except that 2.1.6-R doesn't like my 
hardware any more than 2.1.5-R does. Still, the difference in behavior is 
encouraging. Anyone try this card with 2.1.6.1 or 2.2 yet?

gcc is included in the base system distribution.  In fact, many of the gnu
utilities are in the base system.  

This is on 2.2-ALPHA:
gdi,ttyp2,/usr/src/share/misc,26>gcc -v
gcc version 2.7.2.1

Don't punish yourself by trying to install gcc from source.  :)

These are mainly security improvements.  You could just run the sysinstall
upgrade procedure or try to extract what the difference is.  I think it's
mainly sendmail, which you could extract from the source tree pretty
easily.

Due to FreeBSD intracacies, binutils fails horribly.  See my previous

This is what I was told:

1. sysinstall has a bug when installing a bunch of packages together. Use 
pkg_add instead. sysinstalls doesn't seem to reap the child processors 
correctly so the proc table fills up very quickly.

2. sysinstall also show packages which do not really exist. XFree86 does 
exist, but is not a part of the packages. You need to install it when you 
install the OS.

Hope this helps.

Kory

For simplicity, I've moved the FreeBSD drive to another system.  Thus, my
current system has NT 4.0 on drive 0 (i.e., C:) and Win 95 on 1 (i.e., D:).
I would like to get this working so I can put the FreeBSD drive back in this
system, however.

I downloaded bootpart, and it sure looked promising when it found drive 0 and
drive 1.  I then got it to write the Win95 boot sector to a file and update the
boot.ini file accordingly.  However, when I reboot the machine and select
"Windows 95", I get:

	Invalid system disk
	Replace the disk, and then press any key

Any ideas?  I'll email the author of the program, but wondered if anyone else could

Thanks for the help!

cp /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0

Unless it was compiled on Linux and you have the Linuxulator installed the
system will completely ignore the /compat/linux directory.

It is 2.0 from X Inside. I have been using it extensively over the last 
few months, and had not had a problem with it until I upgraded. Now it 
dumps core several times a day. The lousy part is that I run xdm and when 
motif croaks it takes all my open apps with it...

Check the debug console on ALT-F2 for a detailed explanation of the

Your bin distribution may be corrupted.

You may have problems with the ViRGE chipsets -- I recall some X problems
with them.  I'm not sure they're supported at current.

You might try:

1.  Back up /etc
2.  Run the boot floppy
3.  Do install -> custom -> mount filesystems -> select X components

(ie, do the install procedure, MOUNT your filesystems, and just select X)

I don't know from a stock build, but the system doesn't come wired for
kerberos unless you install the kerberos distribution.

You need to install the tiff-3.3 package or port.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/graphics/tiff-3.3.tgz 

or something like that....

I don't know if this is in 2.1.6 or even 2.2, but there is support for
them in -current.

Are you sure?  It may be a Monitor or Device section keyword.

Yes, that is the same as our cards. Our cards do not work using any
version of the de driver that I've seen.

Same here.

The cards don't work with any version of FreeBSD. Make it a part of your
daily routine to check:
http://freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/if_de.c
Then you will know when/if support is added.

I'm running the 2.2 release branch, in sys/pci there is a file called
if_ed_p.c which for all practical purposes appears to be a ne2000 pci
driver, but there is no line in the LINT configuration file for this (in
either 2.2 or 3.0). How does one go about getting this detected on boot up
then?

SupraExpress modems are a proprietary system and are not compatible with
anything except ComIt, last I remember.

Return it and buy a real SupraFAXModem.

Other than OS/2 which is a good system worker, the others don't blugeon
the system as hard as FreeBSD does, so you can have bad cache without
noticing it.  It's odd that Warp didn't die with TRAP 2's.

Let's see your profile in ppp.conf for your ISP.  Don't forget to blank

Yeah, I think so.  That will cause the system to try to boot your IDE disk
which will have booteasy on it.

Perhaps.  You might try disabling it's onboard BIOS.  What model of card

I hope you don't get stuck in that rut.    You can split it if you like,
but that's a pain to install. :(

I would say not-very-intelligent controller.

PCI devices are auto-probed, usually.

You might try asking hackers@freebsd.org...I haven't heard much about the
NE2000 PCI support.

use top (installable as a package or port) and keep an eye on the memory
values.  Target any apps with an inordinately large value.  Netscape, the
mbone tools and Xwindows are good memory eaters.

The Setings of the modem are com2 02f8 and Interrupt 3.
I have set this in the menu with -c ,visual sio1 02f8 and I 3.
But on the boot i can see sio1: at 02f8 not found.
What can i do ?? (I have read the FAQ and some other help files without

I wonder if anyone else has results using FreeBSD on a WAN router.  This
message is more of a progress report than a question...

A couple months ago, we needed another ether interface on one of our WAN
routers.  We had been using a Cisco 2501, which has only one ether
interface and is not upgradable.  I persuaded my employer to let us try
out an Emerging Technologies HDLC card in a PC running FreeBSD.  There
was some grumbling from the Cisco loyalists - who ever got fired for
buying Cisco?

We took advantage of slow work schedules and net traffic over the
holidays to make the switch.  The FreeBSD/ET-based router runs 2.1.5-R
and the latest driver bits from the ET ftp site.  It talks Cisco
encapsulated HDLC over a T1 to a genuine Cisco router at the other end.

It took about 3 hours to setup and configure FreeBSD on the PC, and
another 2 hours to link in the ET driver bits and set things up.  We
were able to use all factory settings on the ET-5025-16 card, and used
the default setup file provided by ET for Cisco HDLC, without
modification.  ET docs are lucid and thorough.

We can add more ether slots on the system cheaply whenever we want, just
by adding another SMC dual-port card.  The ET card we bought also has a
second async port available for Frame Relay or point-to-point.

It is a big win having FreeBSD admin tools on the router.  Ipfw allows
us whatever level of logging detail we want on filtered packets.  We
linked an operations kernel without bpf, and a diagnostic one with bpf. 
The latter allows us to run tcpdump on the WAN interface as well as on
ether.

Your chain entries are lost if you didn't edit them into the setup
scripts.  The usual way of doing this is to:

1.  edit /etc/rc.firewall to suit your needs
2.  set firewall=YES in /etc/sysconfig

At startup, /etc/rc calls /etc/sysconfig and /etc/netstart, which calls
/etc/rc.firewall.  This is at least true for FreeBSD version 2.1.5-R.

Check out the IDE controller chip. I am suffering from an UMC board with
the CDM 640B IDE controller. As long as I use only the primary channel,
(master is a conner disk, slave is Mitsumi ATAPI FX100 CD-Rom) everything
works fine. But I cannot use the secondary IDE-Channel, i. e. three or
for IDE-Devices. 
So you might be able to install successfully by just using the primary     
IDE-Channell

Have fun!

Yes, It is Display section keyword. And now the problem is solved, thanks 
to Harald Koenig. As I am using XFree86 version 3.1.2, I had to use 
"Early_SC" instead of "EarlySC". And now it is working fine.

Thanking you,

The easiest way is to find the sendmail FAQ. There are a couple sources
listed in it that tell you EXACTLY how to do it. Very easy, and once set
up right works like a charm.

I ordered two cards, one for my FreeBSD box and one for my Win95 box.  I did
note that they came in different boxes, but since that is not unusual, I
thought nothing of it.  I simply swapped the two boards and all worked fine.
Since the first one I took out of the box was the 'new' one, I used it's
floppy to install the driver on the Win95 box.  They appear to be downward
compatible (the 'new' driver will run either one) that way.

Anyway, this problem is taken care of for me, at least.  I do have a few
editorial comments about this, though.  From time to time you have problems
with ANY company.  What tells the difference between a good customer support
organization and a poor one is what happens with things really go awry.  How
do they handle the exceptions.

Well, for my money, SMC failed.

First, they send out a brand new version of their card without warning.
While some may consider the yellow page sufficient warning, I don't believe
so.  I opened two boxes, took out two cards which looked nothing alike and
within moments was without a clue as to which one was which.  Yes, to a
certin extent that was my fault.  I should have done one at a time.  But the
problem shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Second, when I tried to get help from them, all I got was a security guard.
They closed up tight as a drum over the Christmas/New Years break without
anyone there.  While I understand this is a holiday and people want to be
home with the fam, I also understand that it is just this kind of time when
*most* system upgrades are done.  Nobody seems to care that systems admin
people miss the holiday.  A company like SMC should have had people
available to help.  Period. Trying to bring my system up with their errant
hardware cost me my holiday.

Third, they should have had enough forsight to realize their uncompatible
hardware was going to effect lots of people and taken steps to correct it
before it happened.  While they did correct the situation for *some*
(Win95/NT for instance), they didn't for too many.  (how many people on this
list were stung by that one?)

Fourth, *IF* they were going to start shipping something which was, by
design, incompatible with their other drivers, they should have said
something about this early enough that people could have made decisions
concerning it BEFORE it was too late.

Okay, you may say, nobody's perfect.  That's right.  I'm not either.  That's
why #2 is so important to me.  While I'm not happy when someone screws up, I
*really* get unhappy when they screw up and don't to anything to take care
of it!

note that they came in different boxes, but since that is not unusual, I
thought nothing of it.  I simply swapped the two boards and all worked fine.
Since the first one I took out of the box was the 'new' one, I used it's
floppy to install the driver on the Win95 box.  They appear to be downward
compatible (the 'new' driver will run either one) that way.

Anyway, this problem is taken care of for me, at least.  I do have a few
editorial comments about this, though.  From time to time you have problems
with ANY company.  What tells the difference between a good customer support
organization and a poor one is what happens with things really go awry.  How
do they handle the exceptions.

Well, for my money, SMC failed.

First, they send out a brand new version of their card without warning.
While some may consider the yellow page sufficient warning, I don't believe
so.  I opened two boxes, took out two cards which looked nothing alike and
within moments was without a clue as to which one was which.  Yes, to a
certin extent that was my fault.  I should have done one at a time.  But the
problem shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Second, when I tried to get help from them, all I got was a security guard.
They closed up tight as a drum over the Christmas/New Years break without
anyone there.  While I understand this is a holiday and people want to be
home with the fam, I also understand that it is just this kind of time when
*most* system upgrades are done.  Nobody seems to care that systems admin
people miss the holiday.  A company like SMC should have had people
available to help.  Period. Trying to bring my system up with their errant
hardware cost me my holiday.

Third, they should have had enough forsight to realize their uncompatible
hardware was going to effect lots of people and taken steps to correct it
before it happened.  While they did correct the situation for *some*
(Win95/NT for instance), they didn't for too many.  (how many people on this
list were stung by that one?)

Fourth, *IF* they were going to start shipping something which was, by
design, incompatible with their other drivers, they should have said
something about this early enough that people could have made decisions
concerning it BEFORE it was too late.

Okay, you may say, nobody's perfect.  That's right.  I'm not either.  That's
why #2 is so important to me.  While I'm not happy when someone screws up, I
*really* get unhappy when they screw up and don't to anything to take care
of it!

Thanks.  It's kind of funny at times how often an answer shows up just after
I send out the question...

(isn't there an option to sendmail that can take care of that -- something
like -dssqusac for don't-send-stupid-question-until-scan-ahead-complete with
a heuristic search/scan to check for the answer in the next howevermany

While I don't know the official answer to this, I can say that I remember
the install process, after it completed installing the packages I asked for,
put up a message box saying it was changing permissions.  I'll bet you'll
just have to go in after the fact and change them to what you want them to be.

I have a Gateway 200MHZ Pentium Pro with 32 Meg. The install goes fine
doing an install from DOS files until it tries to write to the newly
created filesystem. It consistently gets a cannot write to filsystem
byte 1 of 1024 message. It tells me that no kernel is built.

I have been through all the help and the FreeBSD site and cannot find
this problem noted.

Is this a problem with the install or FreeBSD itself?

Thanks

this can be easily done if u r not concerned about security, tho I would
recommend using https, shtml, or ssl.  a suid perl script would work.

CMU is developing kerberos for web, and it's almost done; so kerberos
authetication thru the web would be possible in the near future.

yes, the MX entry is optional unless u want that to the mail host  for your
domain.

the Cw line would do it.

Hi,

   I have recently installed latest version on FreeBSD 2.1.6 on
my computer and using it as an ftp/web server.

   The strange thing which is happening is :

Even if the machine is on and connected to network I cannot do 
remote access on it .I can 't use any tool (telnet,ftp,finger,ping ..)
to see if it's up. Now if I use telnet from the local network to
machine it works and also then remote accessing also starts working.

  The thing is if you leave the machine for some time without 
accessing it if disables remote access. Why?

IS there any configuration problem?

I will appreciate help as this is causing serious problems.

Thanks,
Dhiraj Soni

To who ever,

I have been trying to install FreeBSD 2.2-BETA from scratch. I have
been  hitting a brick wall when it comes to connecting to a BSD site
that allows downloading via FTP. I enter all relevant information in the
"TCP-IP" setup, then when I go to the ALT-F3 screen and type 'term', I
cannot talk to my modem! I know my modem is on COM2(/dev/sio1) but when
I type nothing comes back to the terminal screen. Same with the TXD &
RXD lights on the modem. It seems as if FreeBSD cannot open the port. On
boot it displays information about the sio0 & sio1 ports & knows that
they are 16550's. What am I doing wrong?

For furtur information I have tried this on two different computers with
differnt modems and have the same result!? The only common factor is the
serial ports being both on the motherboard!


Kind Regards,

Mark the new "novice" in the block.

Dear FreeBSD Folks,

I have been running FreeBSD happily for 2 years now.  I am currently
running 2.2-960323-SNAP.  I am finally getting around to buying a
SoundBlaster system and I need to know which one is currently supported.
I see that the SB 16 is listed, but I don't see SB 32, nor do I
understand how the PnP is accomplished.  It seems that once I set
the kernel devices up in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf accordinly, it will
take care of it.

So... if I buy a SoundBlaster 32 PnP system, will it work, and it not,
will the SoundBlaster 16 PnP work?

Thanks.

rick
P.S.:  I look forward to the 2.2 release.  You guys do a great job!

I already checked that.  I even did "chmod -R a+r
/usr/local/Acrobat3".  It doesn't help.

I have enough disk space also.

The port installed acroread binary as:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 operator  kmem  2511477 Nov  6 14:54 acroread*

in /usr/local/Acrobat3/Reader/intellinux/bin/.

If I make it suid all is well.

Any thoughts?

More appropriately might be to look at /etc/rc.firewall, which has a
skeleton already laid out.

Is there any support for CD-R (CD writable devices)?  Do these
appear as just RAW devices, or is there any software for these?

Thanks again.

Is there a System attribute called "oid".

I'm trying to get AppGEN for Postgres95 running, and all seems well,
except trying to create a table with 'oid' in it, it tells me

WARN:create: system attribute named "oid"

is this a FreeBSD "oid", or something else?

Supported meaning what?  The XF86_S3V server drives my Diamond Stealth 3D
2000 (which is ViRGE) just fine.  I'm not sure if the server is considered
beta or not, though.

I'm not sure if this is your problem but modems are customarily addressed 
in "callout mode" -- meaning cuaax instead of siox.  Try using /dev/cuaa1 
and see if it works.

Hmmm.  I didn't expect it to be so 'actively' wired for it if I included
that
distribution.  No doubt that's what I did.  I did a make world and the
messages cleared.

We have set up a system like this.  It consists of an HTML front end,
a Tcl script and a C program back end, loosly based on the "poppassd"
program (from Eudora) that interacts with the passwd program.  Pretty
simple, you can take a look at:

I am running Xinside 2.1.  I installed FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE over the weekend.  I had it running just the way I wanted it, but today, I try to startx, and I get this:

FreeBSD using /dev/ttyv3

and then a long pause, followed by:

TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () Can't Connect errno=2
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () Can't Connect errno=2
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () Can't Connect errno=2
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () Can't Connect errno=2
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () Can't Connect errno=2
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () Can't Connect errno=2

Fatal server error:
Failed to establish all listening sockets
giving up
xinit: connection refused (errno 61)

Now i fiddled around with the other two terminals and didn't get any luck.  Then, I decided to dial up from the console using ppp.  When I've dialed in and established my link, I try 'startx' again and it works!  X starts up!

What short of ghosts and demons is going on here?

I am looking at getting a new system which will be running FreeBSD as its 
primary OS, and I am wondering which sound card I should get.

It should be noted that cost is a consideration, and nor am I a hacker. 
(I'm going to need this thing to pretty much "just work") 

I would be interested in using it for basic recording and playback. (a 
few .au and .wav files, and with the MBONE tools. (VAT, NV etc.)

I seem to hear "bad things" about most of the popular cards. I am using 
the soundblaster16 at the moment. This has been pretty good (I only ever 
need to use 1/2 duplex for VAT). However last time I looked, it seemed as 
though the most recent versions of VAT had dropped SB-16 support.

The SupraExpress modems *will* work with FreeBSD if you install the PnP

I had a similar kind of problem I think when trying to install 2.1.6 via 
ftp, i noticed on the menu that even though there were com1 and com2 
options, both pointed to something like /dev/cuaa1, so i just swapped 
the modem around with the mouse and got stuck on a different problem.

Hi all,

is anybody with a fulltime Internet-connection willing to help the
MuPAD-people
out. There is a MuPAD-1.3-version available for FreeBSD-2.2 but still
terminal-only, no X11-interface. The MuPAD-people need a FreeBSD-2.2 account
with g++ 2.7.2 and XView-3 installed for development of the X11-interface.

Have a look at
   http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/MuPAD/SYS/freebsd.html
or
   http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/MuPAD/

Darius Moos.

You have scsi devices with no base scsi support.  Add "controller scbus0"
to your config file, re-config and rebuild.

Most probably you forgot a

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

X-Loop: FreeBSD.org

To whom it may concern, who will help me that is!

I've managed to install 2.1.6 on my home pc and am trying to connect to my ISP via 
modem using user ppp. I have read through the FreeBSD handbook and also some related 
articles on the net but so far so little...

My ISP uses a xylogics annex and a cisco router and a BSDI box. You dial in and 
login to the annex which then gives you a menu from which you can telnet to the bsdi 
box, connect using slip or connect using ppp (dynamic IP allocation), when i try to 
connect using ppp my modem hangs up almost immediately.

I am basically stuck at this stage and although I am doing a lot of reading I don't 
seem to be getting very far. I am fairly certain about the ip addresses etc... but 
need a little guidance. If I have any of the addresses wrong or the netmask could 
this cause this problem? I have priviledge on the BSDI box, how can I find out if I 
am using the correct addresses (my isp thinks they are correct but a his server was 
set up for him by a third party)? Does anyone know of any log files that I can look 
at on the BSDI server to try and find the problem?


thanks for your time

I haven't traced it, or even looked at it, but:

	su
	ls
	Seg fault (core dumped)

Just did the 2.1.0 --> 2.1.6 upgrade

New kernel (ie. my config, under 2.1.6)
24MB
486/133
IDE

Any ideas?  I'll look at it in the morning, if not.

(BTW, seyon complains about cuaa1 being locked, it's not)
(Found this by su, delete seyon-2.1.4b (2.1.0) which worked and then
tried to su again to install a 2.1.6 package (ls on login habit))

I messed up.... here's what I did.. is this recoverable?

	I looked at my fstab and said humm twould be nice to be able to write
to my DOS partition from FreeBSD so I changed it so that it would (as in
I changed it from read-only to R/W) then I tried to mount -a
it din't work.. said drive busy for all of them .  Rather then sticking
to this I went off and played around in X for a while.. I ended up
rebooting my machine (cause i was dumb) .... 

	bottom line, now the system won't come up at all.. it gets as far as
telling me that / was improperly dismounted, and thats it..

	here's what I tried to do to fix it..

	the goal I set in mind was to remove the msdos mount from fstab
(figuring that is whats causing it to hang) it never gets to the part
where it fixes the superblk. I got the fixit.flp image and ran that,
tried to mount the hard-drive so I could edit that file.. but no go it
won't let me mount it because it was shut down improperly. 

	how do I fix this? Am I hosed? do I need to reinstall the whole thing
again??

	thanks for the help!
	-JM

hi i have been wanting to install something like unix or linux for
sometime, but  the problem is, i don't want to lose all the advantages of
win95 (plus my ma would prolly get pretty peeved if i deleted windows :)
and i was wondering if there was a way to setup freeBSD with win95 as an
optional bootup, like you can do with an old version of ms-dos and win95?

a ibm thinkpad 755cx has an mwave modem built-in.  the modem is dsp based.
in order to use procomm or kermit or another dialer program with the modem,
an mwave modem utility must be run (in windows) to "configure" the dsp
for modem operation (the dsp is also used for sound blaster emulation).

does FreeBSD support this modem?  anyone succeeded in getting it working?

Greetings and salutations,
	Would you happen to know how to configure my Xwindows so that it can work with my Matrox Millenium?  I do not know if it is supported and I hunted through some archives, but apparently all I was referred to do is to Buy an X Windows platform for my card!?  I just bought the CD for FreeBSD, and I would have thought that would have included it.

					Your help Appreciated,

Do a readonly mount(8). (mount -r . . .). Then run fsck on the partition.
Then mount again with the updateflag (-u) for r/w. Then change your fstab.
Hope this helps!

What you will need to do is first modify sendmail.cf to deal with two 
databases in the /etc directory that will handle the aliasing.

add these two lines to sendmail.cf

Kvirtualhosts btree /etc/virtualhosts.db
Kvirtualmasqs btree /etc/virtualmasqs.db

add this rule set for the return mail masq

S40
     
R$* < @ $* > $*         $@ $1 < @ $2 > $3       already fully qualified
#bc instead of automatically using $M, lookup masquerade in virtualmasqs
R$*                     $: $(virtualmasqs $1 $: $1 @ $M $)
#bcR$*                  $: $1 @ $M              add local qualification
R$* @                   $: $1 @ $j              if $M not defined

add this rule set for the virtual hosts

for inbound mail:

create /etc/virtualhosts with your favorite text editor, there can be 
as many lines as you want for each virtual host.

virtdomain.com			john@mydomain.com   (all mail goes to john)
sam@virtdomain.com		sam@mydomain.com
webmaster@virtdomain.com	bob@other.domain.com (forward mail to 
							third system)

create the database virtualhosts.db from virtualhosts with the makemap 
command (makemap comes with sendmail)

makemap btree virtualhosts.db <virtualhosts

for outbound mail (they need an account on your system)
create /etc/virtualmasqs (if you use PINE do this in setup)

frank	frank@virtdomain.com
gloria	gloria@virtdomain.com
fred	fred@virtdomain.com

create the database virtualmasqs.db from virtualmasqs with the makemap 
command

makemap btree virtualmasqs.db <virtualmasqs

Jonathan,
	I've got a 755cse with MWave and would LOVE to get it working!  It
don't as of yet:-<.  I've (in my ENORMOUS spare time) been collecting all
of the data I can on the system so MAYBE I'll be able to use it at some
time in the future.  I DON'T have all of the info I need as of yet but
will continue to try to get the info and MAYBE create a device driver,etc
for the system.

Ok, so how do I set the disk so that there is no active partition? I played
around with fdisk (and read the man page), but it insists on there being one.

Last night I tried both OS-BS and Booteasy. OS-BS never saw the SCSI drive, 
booteasy saw it and gave me the F5 option, but hitting F5 just gave me the
menu again.

It's a GSI Model 18. There is no way to disable it's BIOS.

Yeah, I don't really want to do that. I'm starting to think that I'll
just pull the 1 Gig SCSI and put both on the 2.5 Gig IDE. I'm doing fine
with 800 Meg for FreeBSD, so if I gave it 1.2Gig and Win95 1.2Gig, I 
should be gold. Win95 is currently packed into 300 Meg (I have a 100 Meg
too).

Then I can put the 1 Gig on the shelf for when I can really upgrade to
a pentium and a new SCSI disk. Actually, I'd rather get another SCSI
drive but the price of IDE is so cheap.

You can say that again. I think I figured out how it got that label. I tried
it as a primary IDE controller (obviously, it's the only one), and the manual
says that that isn't especially good.

I do not know if it is supported and I hunted through some archives, but apparently all I was referred to do is to Buy an X Windows platform for my card!?  I just bought the CD for FreeBSD, and I would have thought that would have included it.

XFree86 version 3.2 (new w/in a month or so) has a beta release of the driver
for the Millenium.  You don't say what version of CD you got. 2.1.5 has XFree86
3.1.2. FreeBSD 2.1.6 should have 3.2.

Otherwise, download the 3.2 distribution from ftp.freebsd.org or 
ftp.xfree86.org.

I also have am mwave modem (Best Data Ace) that I bought without realizing
that it requires windoze or os2 to run. As I understand it, the modem has
no firmware - the code that the modem runs on is loaded into it by
software, and since IBM doesn't make the source available :( it's not
likely anybody could write drivers for other os's. One idea I had was to
see if the win drivers would run under wine, but I never got around to
trying it - got a new external modem instead.

===========
QUESTION #1
===========

Does anyone know where I can find the following utilities for
FreeBSD/386:

(1) g++ 2.7.2 or higher
(2) lib g++ 2.7.1
(3) flex


===========
QUESTION #2
===========

I have successfully installed FreeBSD/386 on my Toshiba laptop
Satellite Pro 410CS (phew!$^$%!).  It was actually rather easy but a
slight pain.  I had to do the install from a DOS/Windows95 partition.
I didn't have enough space so I could only do an initial install.  Now
I have more space and want to install additional components but I can't
get it to work.

I am executing /stand/sysinstall to attempt this.  My first attempt
was to try to get gateD to install.  I still don't have enough space
to copy the entire CD-ROM onto my DOS/WIN partition.  What files do I
need to copy over to the DOS/WIN partition to get this install to
work.  I will be trying to install other components so I need to do
the same thing for them too.

Any help would be apprciated.


===========
QUESTION #3
===========

Is anyone developing a driver for a Toshiba XM-1202B CD-ROM?  Any
other Toshiba CD-ROM types?

The modem requires a DOS-mode device in order to act as a modem, so I
suspect you won't get it working unless you can drag the programming
information out of IBM.  I haven't heard of *any* drivers working on the
755CX, and I can't even get X to work in 800x600 mode under any of the
free *nices on it.  If you have better luck let me know, since that's
what stopping me from switching to that box as my main laptop.

Hello...

We are an ISP in Barcelona, Spain, and all our servers work under 
FreeBSD... i've seen that you have "mirrors" in some countries, so,

Can you give some information about this??

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know the drive parameters for a Seagate Barracuda 4 so I can
configure this rascal (that is, an /etc/disktab entry)?

I asked this question before, but never got a direct reply, and my vacation
filter blew away digests so I don't know if anyone replied that way.
Apologies in advance if the question has been answered...

In the bin-distribution of FreeBSD 2.2 and FreeBSD-current.
Just install one of those releases and type g++ --version.
To install have a look in www.FreeBSD.org.

You need the bin-directory on CD-ROM. In it there is an install.sh.
Source it in. "cd wherever_it_is/bin ; . install.sh" and see what 
happens! (the bin-directory is about 35 MBytes, you better back-up
your /etc Directory since installing /bin will overwrite it. After
installing switch to the saved /etc.

I gather that you merely write a message to hostmaster@freebsd.org
and tell us that you are running a server of fixed address x.x.x.x
in the spain domain and the organization will handle the problem of 
aliasing your server to ftp.es.freebsd.org. 

You should look at the "sup" information in the handbook. Sup is what
most people use to keep current on the mirror. The startup is expen-
sive, because you have do download so many files individually, but it
gets fast later, when you only have to update a few files.

That, I think, is the process, and you just need the disk space to
keep up with FreeBSD and you're all set.

 Hi!
I have recently installed FreeBSD and am having trouble installing many
parts of it, but am steadily getting there. Half the fun is learning I
suppose!

There is one part that baffles me though...
I am running WindozeNT 4 Workstation also.

NT takes up the whole of an 850meg IDE hard drive, and FreeBSD has 500
megs of the second part of another IDE hard drive. The other partition
being a dos partition, soon to be converted to NTFS.

I want to use NT's boot manager to boot up, but could not figure out the
correct syntax for the line required in boot.ini

Buy System Commander (I forget the company). It is about $50 (+ or -

Hi,
I am interested in getting FreeBSD installed on the Integraph TD-300 
workstation. I have NT4.0 installed on it, so dual boot would be good 
way to set it up.
My questions are:
Did anyone attempted to install FreeBSD on Integraph intel based 
computers?
Is this PCI based SCSI conntroller supported: AdaptecAIC 78XX PCI SCSI 
controller (IRQ=9 ...)?
How about video drivers ->MGA64 Matrox graphics?
And last, would someone explain to me how the remote ftp installation 
works. My understending is that you can download the binaries to your 
MS-DOS partition and from there with the Boot floppy finish the 
installation. I don't see how someone can set up network installation 
without having comparable operating system on the client side (FreeBSD). In my case I 
have NT 4.0 and I am not able to run any sheel program on my machine 
(maybe I can but I don't know how to do it?)

There is a utility called bootpart that will do it for you. It works well.
You can get it from the NT Freeware CD from Walnut Creek. Look on 
ftp.cdrom.com:/.12/win/nt/intel/diskutil.

Both of these are supported. 2.1.6 for the Matrox.

What you need to do is download the boot floppy image and the rawrite
utility. Use rawrite to put the image on a floppy and boot off of that.

Use the NT command prompt. This is more or less a DOS shell.

FreeBSD comes with a bootmanager called BootEasy, which is installed
automagically when you install FreeBSD.  It will allow you to boot
FreeBSD, Win95, or any other operating system off your hard drive(s).

Hi, all.

On fsck, I'm getting the following error from my buslogic card:

sd0(bt0;0;0) MEDIUM ERROR info:184660, asc:11,0: unrecovered read error

This is a pretty recent error, and console periodically reports the above
spontaneously, but there are absolutely no error messages on boot.  I have
a sinking feeling that the disk is ready to take a great big dump on my head,
but I thought I'd get suggestions first.

FYI, this system is running 2.1.0, and I'm intending on upgrading to 2.1.6
this weekend.

Thanks in advance.

I've ordered FreeBSD from Walnut Creek CD-ROM.  My primary intention is to
use FreeBSD to solve my SMTP / POP-3 server needs.  However, if FreeBSD
supports the Digiboard PC/16e serial controller, I will migrate my dial-in
server to FreeBSD.  So, obviously, my question is: Does FreeBSD support the
Digiboard PC/16e card?  Your response is greatly appreciated.

Odd.  Try re-downloading your archives and try again.

seyon will say the serial port is locked if the permissions are wrong.
Make sure that either cuaa? is read & writable or that you are in group
"dialer".

Available through the ports & packages system.

Use 'pkg_add' instead.  Just copy the package file from packages/All onto
your FreeBSD partition, restoring the name since win95's filesystem will
munge it, then give that file as the argument to pkg_add

pkg_add package.tgz

Obviously do this as root.

If they are ATAPI compatible they should work by default.

I still think it's permissions.  Try running df -k while it's running and
look for any FS's over 100%.  

There is also xpdf, which is native FreeBSD...

It does!  In ALPHA-QUALITY. (whatever that means, I am running
happily an ATAPI-CDROM which is Alpha for serveral releases by now)

May be the driver is not on the distribution you have ordered though.
You might have to update to FreeBSD 2.2 when its out!

Good Luck

Is there a driver for Digi's PC-IMAC ISDN card? I have a couple of 
these in NT boxes that are proving difficult to manage and would like 
to move them to an OS that understands routing a little better.

(I think this card has been superceded by the Datafire, so any work 
related to that card might also work. I'm more than happy to be a 
beta- (or even alpha-) tester if needed)

This script is set up for CHAP, not PAP.  Change this to

accept pap

and it should work better.

  Again, but hopefully only once this time...

  I'm very sorry it was my question that got so virulent.  But does anyone
know the answer?  I'm looking for vmixer, which is an OpenLook mixer app, used
for controlling the different volume levels of a sound card.  I really liked
the interface for it, but can't find it in any of my backups.  Nor can I find
it with archie.

Howdy,
Just a quick one - I've noticed a lot of commercial apps appearing for
Linux (eg. WordPerfect, Applixware, StarOffice). Are these available,
runnable, or in the works for FreeBSD?

Don't take this as a smart comment - I'm serious.

BTW - drop the 'Berkley alternative to Linux' sounds like you are trying
to catch up or are afraid of Linux - and you shouldn't be, you've got them
beat hands down on almost every front.

I and a number of others have laptops on which FreeBSD-current
locks up shortly after the end of the kernel device listing.

I have in fact gotten past the filesystem clean checks, but most
of the time it dies (locks up solid) before those messages show
up.

The laptops, which are various models, do not lock up on
2.1.6, 2.1.5, or -current from about 6 months ago.

I would appreciate any pointers on how I might go about trying
to track down this problem.

I've down the simple things like disabling all the unused device
drivers.

here is my dmesg log from a 2.1.6.1 boot:

Im showing my lack of FS knowledge here, but why does FreeBSD update the
metadata every 30 seconds instead of on the fly?  On a busy news server having
all disks cease operations to write data out every 30 seconds is quite a hit...

Wouldnt it be "better" to write the data out more frequently in any case?

The GUS is the way to go if you are even getting near vat.  The audio
quality is very good vs. sb16 and variants.  

WE just had this discussion -- see the multimedia archives.

You should ask your ISP if the annex does PAP or CHAP authentication on
the ppp option.  You may need to set this up -- see /etc/ppp/ppp.conf's
'papsite' definition.

BSDi != FreeBSD

You shouldn't have to specify anything to get connected.  It's all
automatic under PPP.

I've just installed the Zsh 3.0.2 port. After running Lynx (v2.6) I am
unable to use the cursor keys on the Zsh command line. Instead of the
cursor moving, I get a beep and an A, B, C, or D (depending on the key). 
If I run Less (v321) the problem goes away. 

This is under FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE running the above programs in a
color_xterm. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem in a vty.

I'm guessing that this is caused by Lynx sending some kind of escape
sequence to the terminal, and fixed by some sequence that Less prints. 
Can someone tell me how to fix this? I don't want to have to run Less
every time I exit Lynx.

I'll take that to mean that they are supported then.

I wonder if this is a routing problem.  

Run 'netstat -rn' and make sure that checks out.  Also try disabling
routed in /etc/sysconfig.

You may need to enable flow control.

Yes, there is support for these.  I can't seem to reach the FreeBSD
homepage right now, but the list is in the Handbook.  Notably the HP 4020i
is supported.

I can't say.  Try:

1.  Deleting the FreeBSD partition with fdisk and trying with a fresh
install.
2.  Checking the ALT-F2 screen frequently for unusual messages.

Just set a partition on the first disk with it.  There can be only one :)

Now we're getting somewhere...this probably means that the geometry on the

Whatever works, I guess....That sounds like a plan though.

That may be the better way to go since your IDE controller is putting up
such a stink.

I can't say why.

The default user is username 'root', no password.

Use 'adduser' to make an account for yourself and use that instead of
root.  use the 'su' command to get root priviledges when you need it.

What's the command line you're using?

should be like...

mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos

assuming your dos partition is on your first ide disk and you have a /dos
directory on your unix system to mount it to.

Sorry for missing this for so long, I just remembered there is a diagram
in my old PCTools manuals.

This is in no particular order...

5  2  3  7  8  6  1  4
|    X    X    +--+ /
               +--+ \
5  2  3  7  8  6  1  4

The last bit is  that pins 1 and 6 and 4 on the other end are wired
together.

Definitions:

5 Ground
2 Receive Data
3 Send Data
7 RTS
8 CTS
6 DSR
1 DCD / Carrier
4 DTR

Hope this helps.

This modem doesn't have a special program you have to run to access it,
does it?  (ie, ComIt)

Many internal modems are broke and don't probe properly.  You might try
setting it to COM1.

I am very interested in getting FREE BSD. I am a bit confused on a copule
of subjects though. The first is which files to download off of your FTP
site.. I tried the automatic FTP download.. That doesnt seem to work out
for me. You have a lot of files in the RELEASE2.1.6/ directory.. What will
I need. When I selected in the BSD installation setup I selected the 70Meg
install. The second thing is can it co-exist with Windows95 on one
partition. I had my hard disk seperated into two partitions and after the
install both had been converted to non-dos type and I had to fdisk, format
and restore from tape. I would like to avoid this if possible. Can you make
any suggestions? Any response would be appreciated. 
Thank's for your time.

I am trying to upgrade using FTP and when FreeBSD tries to call
slattach I get the error Unable to configure the sl0 interface !. The
debug window has "ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address
required"

I have not been able to figure out how to use ppp with that provider
(Advantis) so for now I need to get slip to work.

Subject: what's the deal?? - 2.1.6 Install
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

I'm installing 2.1.6-RELEASE via ftp.

After doing a full install of source plus a handful of packages, I reboot
to SCSI disk (instead of the boot floppy for install) and load the new
kernel - 

	except the new kernel appears to be a copy of the boot.flp!

Reboot to kernel.GENERIC results in the same.  

I can't shell out to csh or anything to build a new shell by hand, and
what's worse is that when the install kernel comes from the drive then the
system mounts read only!  

Any ideas?  Am I missing something painfully obvious??

Thanks in advance.

   "sync"s happen every 30 seconds for two reasons:

1) To write out dirty file buffers. In this case, the writes are delayed to
   give the application plenty of time to append to them. If you do small
   writes, you don't want the system writing out a full filesystem block
   for every few bytes that the applications writes to a file.
2) To write out modified inodes. In this case, the writes are delayed to give
   the system time to modify/update as many inodes within an inode block
   (there are usually 64 inodes per 8K block), or update the block pointers
   in the indirect blocks, without having to do a write for every one. The
   alternative would be to do a write of the 8K inode block every time a file
   was accessed (to update the file access time), and write out an 8K indirect
   block every time a new block was allocated to the file. This would be VERY
   slow.

Good guess.

xterm has two 'modes' for the arrow and other function keys,
the default mode and "application" mode. The problem is that
some apps enable application mode and forget to disable it on
the way out. So, things like shells which assume that that the
mode hasn't been changed or which ignore it altogether don't
work right when you exit such an application.

Run 'reset', which will do much the same thing.

I guess you could fiddle your 'xterm' termcap entry to "fix"
it regardless, but this may cause problems with still other
apps. The reset commands puts it back into the default mode.

  It would be nice if bin.* did not any files for /etc/* and there be a 
seperate set of files for installation of those and ?other? files that 
change for each configuration.  Or at the very least have the install.sh
ask if you want to install these files.

  Thanks.

Hi All,

Has anybody had experience of getting Linux emulation running under FreeBSD 
2.1.5. I've just installed linux_lib-2.3 and I'm trying to get Doom 1.8 and
WIngz running. The only problem is every time I start xdoom i get the error
message "bus error (CORE dumped)". Wingz ain't working either!

Can any one help?

What's the easiest way to connect a VT420 to be used as a dumb terminal with
FreeBSD?

Thanks,

If you don't want to use the ftp install option (it does work, I did it
over
a 28.8), and you want to pick-and-choose what portions you wish to
install,
you're best off grabbing the contents of the /bin /manpages and /doc
directories, and installing them from a dos partition, which brings us
to...

Yes, FreeBSD can co-exist with Windows95.  I've done this, and more (up
to 5
operating systems, spanning 2 disks, and several partitions).  The trick
is,
to have win95 installed and running on it's own partition, leaving
enough room
for a FreeBSD partition (I'd reccomend at least 350megs as a minimum
system for
most beginners).  When you install FreeBSD:

1. Select novice
2. partition: create a FreeBSD partition using all unclaimed diskspace
(>350M)
3. label: for most users, selecting 'A' for automatic labeling is a
better choice
4. media selection:  existing dos filesystem, FreeBSD files should be
under
   C:\FREEBSD\BIN, C:\FREEBSD\MANPAGES, C:\FREEBSD\DOC, etc...

Don't forget to do a post configuration to add a user for yourself, and
set the
root password.  Don't worry about package installation at this point,
it's
sometimes easier to do this after your system is up and running.

The rest is going to be up to you.  this will give you the bare minimum
to get
your system up and running with the information you need to put it on
the net
and download additional parts of the distribution and packages.

Your welcome, I'm just procastinating going to work today.  Thought I'd
at least
try to be helpful.

g'luck, 
Troy

P.S.  I'm not sure, but I think all this information is located either
in the 
handbook or the FAQ (http://www.freebsd.org)

When I try to run ppp -auto default this is the error I receive 
must specify dstaddr with auto mode.  

I have looked threw the man pages, but found nothing about dstaddr.
My isp assigns dynamic IPs.

Also how do you connect with ppp manually for example.

ppp

Then you get ppp prompt.

I would like to try this manually, but don't know how.

thanks

Glen,

Check out this URL:- 

    http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook164.html#396

I used this to setup Dial On Demand quite successfully, however
I would suggest that you do not implement ROUTED as is suggested,
as this causes RIP to bring the link up every thirty seconds. I set
up a static route in /etc/sysconfig and this worked very well.

Hope this helps you... If you get stuck, e:mail me.

Regards,
  Si...

Right, but in the case of a news spool, with noatime set, files are very very
rarely ever modified, they are only created and read.  (lack of knowledge
warning!) Im assuming that the inode data for a new inode is also written out
at update time, if they werent you wouldnt gain anything by doing sync()'s
every 30 seconds except for some stability (which frankly on a news spool im
not terribly worried about, at about 2-3GB/day my spool fills up rather fast :)

TOPIC: xbuffy-3.2.1
CONF: FreeBSD 2.1.0

Hello,
I'm looking for more information about xbuffy than provided by the man page.  The tool
really seems worthwhile, but I'm finding some inconsistentcies or maybe expecting more
than what the tool was designed for.  Specifically,

1) When started, xbuffy reports 24 messages in all mailboxes even though none of the
mailboxes had any mail in them.  This is reported in reverse video.

2) The man page states that the -poll <secs> command line arguments define how often
the mail boxes are polled.  When I send test mail to one of the mail boxes, and wait beyond
the defined polling time, xbuffy does not report that new mail has arrived in that mailbox or
ANY mailbox that I list with the -mail flag.

Essentially, xbuffy is reporting bogus mail when it starts, and then not continuing 
to poll
or at least report new mail as it arrives.  Anyone else running this without problems?
Any other documentation around on xbuffy besides the man page?

Jon

The RAM problem is easy to fix, once you've installed.  Just
look add a MAXMEM=(128*1024*1024) option when you reconfig
and rebuild a kernel.

Your Adaptec SCSI controller not being recognized might be
that it is a 2940AU.  Support for this controller didn't make
it in to FreeBSD-2.1.5.  It is supported in FreeBSD 2.1.6
and subsequent, though.

Hmm, what do you mean when iyou say that the SCSI controller
is recognized, but not assigned?

Happy new Year,

I'm looking for both client server/daemon implementation

Any suggestions of where can I get it from would be mostly appreciated.

Greetings,

	How does one setup a alias for ed1 of 206.171.98.1 when the
address for the machine is already 206.171.98.29 for use with the ET
Synchronous Serial Card as a router in /etc/sysconfig in FreeBSD 2.1.6R
since all the other machines are pointing to 206.171.98.1 for the default
route. Here is what I have in /etc/sysconfig now:

network_interfaces="ed1 eth0 lo0"
ifconfig_ed1="inet 206.171.98.29  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_eth0="inet 206.13.17.50 206.13.17.49 netmask 255.255.255.252"

ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"

defaultrouter=206.13.17.49

I have a 2.1.6 system with IDE disks. I'd like to add a scsi

Can someone explain in cookbook fashion, how I do this?

Thanks!

Right now, I am running win95.  Can I install Freebsd on my system and
still be able to use Windows 95 in addition to Freebsd?  Will installing
freebsd erase my windows files?  Thanks for your time

In FreeBSD-2.1.5 there is a special mechanism for doing this.
Howto:
In /etc/sysconfig:
  Set your network-devices but don't specify any arguments for them.
  In your case:
  ...
  network_interfaces="ed1 eth0 lo0"
  # no ifconfig_ed1-, ifconfig_eth0- or ifconfig_lo0-options here

Then create files /etc/start_if.ed0, /etc/start_if.eth0 and /etc/start_if.lo0
In /etc/start_if.ed0:
   /sbin/ifconfig ed0 inet 206.171.98.29  netmask 255.255.255.0
   /sbin/ifconfig ed0 inet 206.171.98.1 netmask 0xffffffff alias
   # more aliases if desired.

In /etc/start_if.eth0:
   /sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet 206.13.17.50 206.13.17.49 netmask 255.255.255.252

In /etc/start_if.lo0:
   /sbin/ifconfig lo0 inet 127.0.0.1

Reboot.

BTW, you already asked the same question some time ago and i already answered
it.

To whom ever,

I have finally got PPP to dial my ISP, modem connects, neg's an IP
address & then establishes a PPP connection. Then after a random amount
of time it hangs up. All I could figure out from the log is the message
"1 too many ECHO packets lost"

I have looked all through FAQ's etc and could not find any reference to
these "ECHO packets". No doubt it is some configuation problem I have,
but could some one please shed some light on these.

Kind Regards,
