First, HTTP/1.1 is supported in Apache 1.2 (which is still in Beta AFAIK). The problem I remember reading about is with CGI scripts that get data from the URL they are called with (that is that have extra data on the URL *after* the name of the script - the FreeBSD source tree interface is, I think, such a script).

It's unusual that it would be disabled some times and not others. The diabled message is controlled through UserConfig ('-c') and by the 'disabled' keyword in the kernel config.

Here is one of the two documents I have. If this doesn't work for you, or you prefer to share this disk with other OSes, let me know and I'll send you the long version. This will eventually be formatted and submitted, once I get a disk to experiment with. > The easiest way (esp. with SCSI) is to not mess with them at all and use > the 'auto' disktype. 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.

I have a PC equipped with an adaptech 2940 SCSI Adapter. FreeBSD installs only if I use the 2.1.6 bootup. If I use the 2.1.5 the scsi system cannot be found.

I bought mine from Insight Electronics, which is listed on Symbios's web page. (symbios = ncr) They are generally suppliers, but they do take credit cards. My 815 was $125 including shipping. The 810 has no BIOS, so your motherboard's BIOS must drive it. Asus's BIOSes do, some others may.

I have a PS/2 mouse (``keyboard'' mouse) How do I use it? You'll have to add the following lines to your kernel configuration file and recompile: device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr # Options for psm: options PSM_NO_RESET #don't reset mouse hardware (some laptops) See the Handbook entry on configuring the kernel if you've no experience with building kernels. Once you have a kernel detecting psm0 correctly at boot time, make sure that an entry for psm0 exists in /dev. You can do this by typing: cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV psm0 When logged in as root. Note: Some PS/2 mouse controllers have a problem where the presence of the psm0 driver will cause the keyboard to lock up (which is why this driver is not present by default in the GENERIC kernel). This can sometimes be fixed by bouncing the NumLock key during the boot process. Also suggest going into CMOS setup and toggling any value for Numlock On/Off at boot time. The real fix is, of course, to merge the PS/2 mouse driver with syscons. Any volunteers? :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 12 13:02:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id NAA21409 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 13:02:34 -0800 (PST) Received: from compassion.hotmail.com ([207.82.250.66]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id NAA21400 for ; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 13:02:30 -0800 (PST) Received: (http://www.hotmail.com 21499 invoked by uid 0); 12 Jan 1997 21:02:25 -0000 Date: 12 Jan 1997 21:02:25 -0000 Message-ID: <19970112210225.21498.qmail@hotmail.com> Received: from 206.86.127.204 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 13:02:25 PST X-Originating-IP: [194.30.195.93] From: "Alexander Batzios" To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: subscribe Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk how do i subscribe to this thing anyway? --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 12 13:04:40 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id NAA21547 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 13:04:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id NAA21542 for ; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 13:04:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.2/8.6.12) with SMTP id NAA04602; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 13:04:35 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 12 Jan 1997 13:04:35 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Cliff Addy cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: undump In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 11 Jan 1997, Cliff Addy wrote: > Is undump available for fbsd?

Second, through the process of RTFM, you could have found your answer much quicker. Third, the files in question are for the system. All you need to do, is install the kernel source, and make sure it's linked properly. It's been too long since I've wasted any time with linux, so you'll have to RTFM to find the proper linking, though this is done for you when you build your own kernel.

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 result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- 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.

If you would like instructions before the web page is up, send us mail and we'll be happy to let you know the steps we took to configure this card for FreeBSD. ---------------------------------- Advanced Digital Research, Weare NH WWW: http://www.whoweb.com/adrl E-Mail: ADR Mailist Date: 01/12/97 Time: 21:13:09 Live FreeBSD or Die ---------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 12 18:35:16 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id SAA12947 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 18:35:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from nemesis.lonestar.org ([207.136.12.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id SAA12942; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 18:35:07 -0800 (PST) Received: by nemesis.lonestar.org (Smail3.1.27.1 #22) id m0vjcEb-000u3fC; Sun, 12 Jan 97 20:34 CST Message-Id: Date: Sun, 12 Jan 97 20:34 CST To: nate@mt.sri.com, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-current@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org, chuckr@glue.umd.edu From: uhclem@nemesis.lonestar.org (Frank Durda IV) Sent: Sun Jan 12 1997, 20:34:48 CST Subject: Re: User ppp not hanging up modem.

It's been over a year since I've used XFree86, so please forgive me if my terms are off a little. Virtual screen size is something aside from your resolution. For example, you can have a resolution (actual viewing area) of 800x600, and a virtual screen size of 1024x768. What this does, is allow you to pan the screen (1024x768) to view different sections with a maximum visible area of 800x600. The possible resolutions and virtual screen sizes are limited by the amount RAM on your video card. What you need to do, is find the correct modelines for your video card and monitor. Once you have working modelines, you can use xvidtune to achive optimum values for each mode. Don't forget, that once your modelines are set, you can switch between resolutions by pressing CTRL-ALT-[+|-] g'luck, Troy -- .signature files suck a big one http://www.public.usit.net/pitlord From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 12 20:24:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id UAA18020 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 20:24:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from RWSystems.net (root@rwsystr.RWSystems.net [204.251.23.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id UAA17987; Sun, 12 Jan 1997 20:24:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from nemesis by RWSystems.net with uucp (Smail3.1.29.1 #3) id m0vjdkz-0001ePC; Sun, 12 Jan 97 22:12 CST Received: by nemesis.lonestar.org (Smail3.1.27.1 #22) id m0vjdq6-000tx1C; Sun, 12 Jan 97 22:17 CST Message-Id: Date: Sun, 12 Jan 97 22:17 CST To: chuckr@glue.umd.edu, nate@mt.sri.com, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-current@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org From: uhclem@nemesis.lonestar.org (Frank Durda IV) Sent: Sun Jan 12 1997, 22:17:37 CST Subject: Re: User ppp not hanging up modem.

Try it: ATZ AT&D3 ATI4 (verify that &D3 is there) AT&W (save) ATZ (reset) ATI4 (inspect) It's now &D2. USR argues (badly) that this value doesn't need to be saved permanently. USR says that if you wanted the action &D3 provides, you should add it to your dialing string on each dial-out. Of course, this ignores dial-ins. My current company has been complaining about this and many other Sportster bugs for over a year. We own over 3,000 of them. I personally believe USR ran out of bits in EEPROM and this is one of many settings that don't "stick" over resets and power cycles. I have heard that VERY OLD Sportsters don't have &D3 at all, but I haven't found one that old in the revisions I have access to. Couriers apparently have sufficient EEPROM to correctly hold &D3.

To that end, after perusing the pertinent Handbook and FAQ sections, I've been attempting to configure dialin and PPP. It seemed logical to create a ppp user account as the first order of business, as recommended somewhere in the docs, can't remember where: /etc/passwd ------------ ppp:*:2000:2000:PPP Login User:/home/ppp:/usr/local/bin/ppplogin /usr/local/bin/ppplogin ---------------------- #!/bin/sh: /usr/sbin/ppp -direct As the next step, I configured the three files discussed in the Handbook section on Serial Communication : Dialin Service : Configuration Files (11.3.5.), and echoed in the FAQ "How can I enable dialup logins on my modem?" (10.8), in conformance to my setup: /etc/gettytab ------------- # # Additions for a V.32bis or V.34 Modem # Starting at 57.6 Kbps # vm|VH300|Very High Speed Modem at 300,8-bit:\ :nx=VH57600:tc=std.300: vn|VH1200|Very High Speed Modem at 1200,8-bit:\ :nx=VH300:tc=std.1200: vo|VH2400|Very High Speed Modem at 2400,8-bit:\ :nx=VH1200:tc=std.2400: vp|VH9600|Very High Speed Modem at 9600,8-bit:\ :nx=VH2400:tc=std.9600: vq|VH57600|Very High Speed Modem at 57600,8-bit:\ :nx=VH9600:tc=std.57600: /etc/ttys --------- # Serial terminals ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty VH57600" dialup on secure /etc/rc.local # Set hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control for modem port COM1 stty -f /dev/ttyd0 crtscts bash# kill -1 1 bash# ps ax 12140 d0 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty VH57600 ttyd0 bash# stty -a -f /dev/ttyd0 speed 57600 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoke -echonl -echoctl -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho -pendin -nokerninfo -extproc iflags: -istrip -icrnl -inlcr -igncr -ixon -ixoff -ixany -imaxbel -ignbrk -brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk oflags: -opost -onlcr -oxtabs cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -dsrflow -dtrflow -mdmbuf cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = ; eol2 = ; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = ; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W; So far, so good. bash# whereis pppd /usr/sbin/pppd bash# /usr/sbin/ppp* -r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin 86016 Jul 17 02:34 ppp -r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin 65536 Jul 17 02:34 pppd -r-xr-sr-x 1 bin kmem 12288 Jul 17 02:34 pppstats Okay, so I had the PPP daemon. However... bash# pppd Sorry - PPP is not available on this system DOH! Okay, we're obviously not ready, yet. Back to the Handbook, PPP and SLIP : Setting up kernel PPP : Working as a PPP server (12.2.2). It recommended I create the following three files for dialin PPP: /etc/ppp/options (configuration file) ---------------- crtscts # Hardware flow control netmask 255.255.255.0 # netmask ( not required ) 206.100.174.68:206.100.174.69 # ip's of local and remote hosts # local ip must be different from one # you assigned to the ethernet ( or other ) # interface on your machine. # remote IP is ip address that will be # assigned to the remote machine domain ppp.primelogic.com # your domain passive # wait for LCP modem # modem line /etc/ppp/pppserv (script to start pppd) ----------------- #!/bin/sh ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep pid=`ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'` if [ "X${pid}" != "X" ] ; then echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid} kill ${pid} fi ps ax |grep kermit |grep -v grep pid=`ps ax |grep kermit |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'` if [ "X${pid}" != "X" ] ; then echo 'killing kermit, PID=' ${pid} kill -9 ${pid} fi # reset ppp interface ifconfig ppp0 down ifconfig ppp0 delete # enable autoanswer mode /usr/local/etc/kermit/kermit -y /etc/ppp/kermit.ans # run ppp pppd /dev/ttyd0 57600 /etc/ppp/pppservdown (script to stop pppd) --------------------- #!/bin/sh ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep pid=`ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'` if [ "X${pid}" != "X" ] ; then echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid} kill ${pid} fi ps ax |grep kermit |grep -v grep pid=`ps ax |grep kermit |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'` if [ "X${pid}" != "X" ] ; then echo 'killing kermit, PID=' ${pid} kill -9 ${pid} fi ifconfig ppp0 down ifconfig ppp0 delete kermit -y /etc/ppp/kermit.noans /etc/ppp/kermit.ans (kermit script to enable auto-answer) ------------------- set line /dev/ttyd0 set speed 57600 set file type binary set file names literal set win 8 set rec pack 1024 set send pack 1024 set block 3 set term bytesize 8 set command bytesize 8 set flow none pau 1 out +++ inp 5 OK out ATH0\13 inp 5 OK echo \13 out ATS0=1\13 ; change this to out ATS0=0\13 if you want to disable ; autoanswer mod inp 5 OK echo \13 exit Okay. Now to get that pppd up and running... bash# ./pppserv ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface Sorry - PPP is not available on this system DOH! Obviously, I something's amiss. The ifconfig msg is no doubt caused by the pppserv script's "ifconfig ppp0 down" and "ifconfig ppp0 delete" lines, but I'm not sure what it wants, how to specify an interface that will satisfy it, or if it's even necessary. In fact, I don't know if the scripts found in the Handbook section in question (12.2.2) are even relevant to 2.1.5; the author did place the following caveat at the beginning of the section: "This document is written based on the author's experience with FreeBSD versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.1.5.1 (and experience with dialup modems on other UNIX-like operating systems); however, this document may not answer all of your questions or provide examples specific enough to your environment." The fact that the scripts are designed to be run by a comparatively ancient FreeBSD version is not encouraging. Another puzzlement: How is it specified that /etc/ppp/options is the configuration file that pppd is supposed to use? And why is it necessary to employ Kermit in the dialin process to setup the modem to auto answer via the /etc/ppp/kermit.ans script? Nevertheless, it still seems odd that pppd can't be started from the command line. I'm comin' up empty here... .\\ichelle -------------------- Michelle Brownsworth System Administrator IMS, Inc.

Thank you, Ang Eatrides > E-mail: uvc@netcom.ca > For a comfortable minimum system, you'll need at least 400megs to install FreeBSD. At least part of this needs to reside within the first 1023 cylinders of your HD. As for what files you need to download to get started, it all depends on what kind of internet connection you have. Assuming that you have PPP, all you need, is boot.flp from the floppies directory, and RAWRITE.EXE from the tools directory. Use rawrite to create a boot floppy, which will allow you to do initial configuration, select packages to install, connect to the internet, and download your new system. I would suggest that you keep your initial install to the bin and manpages distribution, as this will be enough for you to have a working system, and the info you need to get whatever else you want. You may find it easier to download the necessary distribution files to your DOS partition, and install from there. More information can be found at http://www.freebsd.org UNIX in any form is not for the feint of heart, but if you're willing to learn, you'll find it quite rewarding, both as a tool, and as an educational experience. good luck, Troy PS: I'm playing with a new email client, please let me know if this post is FUBAR or not... thanks :) .signature files suck http://www.public.usit.net/pitlord From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 13 01:37:46 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id BAA02126 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 01:37:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from smtest.usit.net (smtest.usit.net [199.1.48.16]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id BAA02121 for ; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 01:37:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from abyss (vabla-max-153.dynamic.usit.net [206.29.54.154]) by smtest.usit.net (8.7.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id EAA05600; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 04:47:31 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199701130947.EAA05600@smtest.usit.net> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Troy Settle" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG, Michelle Brownsworth Date: Mon, 13 Jan 1997 04:49:57 +0000 Subject: Re: One more thing regarding my PPP problems...

It's pretty simple to build a custom kernel, and you would probably be better off with it anyways. :) cya, Troy .signature files suck http://www.public.usit.net/pitlord From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jan 13 02:05:36 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id CAA03373 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 02:05:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from relay-7.mail.demon.net (relay-7.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.9]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id CAA03368 for ; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 02:05:31 -0800 (PST) Received: from secstan.demon.co.uk ([158.152.35.12]) by relay-7.mail.demon.net id aa726932; 13 Jan 97 9:43 GMT Comments: Authenticated sender is From: Nick Pope To: Troy Settle Date: Mon, 13 Jan 1997 09:35:30 +0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: Re: Linux include files CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Confirm-Reading-To: "Nick Pope" X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.42a) Message-ID: <853148584.726932.0@secstan.demon.co.uk> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk In reply to your message of 12 Jan 97, 16:45: Thanks for the info - I eventuially found the source I needed and am now up and running.

I also tried the imap-uw version but it doesn't work correctly with /var/mail type formats (it insists on looking for INBOX vs. /var/mail/user). I didn't investigate much further.

Strange... what is the use of running tacacs on a NT server??? or: what is the use of a nt server at all??? Since the only thing that a NT server does that FreeBSD does not is SQL server. If you use the NT machine for serving windows network (netbios) use the samba package and turn the NT off. Indeed, I am now working on postgres (www.postgresql.orq) and odbc and the whole thing works great with an astonish performance. You find alot of information on the net, or here to setup your FreeBSD to to anything on a windows network. Hope this will help, Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.

I have read all of the FAQ's and mail lists and even received many good tips from users, but with no luck. I have even compiled a new kernel with the required psmo statements and even the option statement. It seems to me that I have to get past one basic point first. At boot time the system tells me that it can not locate device psm0 at 0x60. Until this is resolved it will never work, unless I am missing something. Any help would be very much appreciated !!!!!

I am a developer (also for FreeBSD) and so (unfortunately) not an specialist on E-Mail Servers. I however have the following situation: - Applied for a domain name and got the following: * domain name * uucp name of provider * uucp name for my domain * userid & password to connect to the uucp provider - FreeBSD box running 2.2 BETA. - Tornado 28K8 modem on COM3, IRQ 4 (COM1 is disabled) Goal: Setting up an E-Mail server for the company with dial-out capabilities to exchange e-mail with the rest of the world via Internet. After a couple of hours I have been able to setup the system so far that uucico starts and dials-out to the provider, connects and receives e-mail sent to userid at the domain. When users connect to the FreeBSD box they can pickup and read their e-mail. However, if they want to reply, their mail never gets delivered to the Internet! They are able to send mail to each other. I guess that I am using the wrong, or and old mail program. As far as I know it is sendmail that comes with 2.2 BETA. I already checked the documentation, but: * I can not find what I need. * I have overlooked what I need. * What I need is not there. Since this is actually a new area for this idiot I guess that allmost any of you are able to help me out on this problem.

Does it work at all? Just make sure that wdc1 is configured properly and the CD will autoprobe. The ATAPI CDROM MUST be set to 'single' mode for this to work properly, however.

The Walnut Creek catalog specifically mentions that host card, but the installation program doesn't seem to find a scsi host card. The instruction book appears to say that BSD needs to be installed before the kernel can be rebuilt. I see two possible solutions. One is to install a mfm hard drive large enough hold FreeBSD either permanently or long enough to build a kernel general enough to install FreeBSD on the scsi hard drive. The other is to find prebuilt kernel that is as general as possible, use that to install FreeBSD, and finally rebuild to kernel to fit my actual needs. Please help me if you can.

and if it works -- install it and restart sendmail. The SMART_HOST says, "If you don't know who this is for -- send it to your provider using the uucp-dom mailer."

There aren't any packages because Netscape isn't freeware. The generic solution to checksum problems is to delete the checksum file -- obviously, only use this when the "invalid checksum" error is itself in error. I think you can also then do a "make checksum" to make a new one but that isn't always necessary. > is there a hotkey combination that allows you to switch from XFree86 to > my bash sessions that i already had running? where is the best place to > look for some general how to use XFree86, i've had a bit of a look at > their home pages but can't find a general user type guide. You know how normally you switch vtys using ALT-Fn? To do so from within X, use CTRL-ALT-Fn. To go *back* to X you use the regular ALT-Fn.

Organization: PrimeLogic Communications Corp. Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk First, let me thank all the kind folks who responded to my recent posting (Subject: "Sorry - PPP is not available on this system" msg) offering helpful suggestions. The consensus was that I needed to rebuild the kernel with PPP support. (I was under the mistaken impression after reading the Handbook and FAQ that the 2.1.5 GENERIC kernel had PPP support already there.) Anyhow, I gladly took the advice and remade the kernel, adding the pseudo-device line, and removing lots of unnecessary probing for devices I don't have in the process. (The new streamlined kernel boots _much_ faster. :^) Aside from the gettytab, ttys, and rc.local files (copies of which are reproduced at the end of this posting), I used just one script. (Thanks to Jay D. Nelson for the following script.) /usr/local/bin/ppplogin: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/mesg n stty -tostop /usr/sbin/pppd proxyarp The above script is called as part of the login process. Note in the following ppp user line from /etc/passwd where there's a path to the script, instead of a shell, to be exec'd: ppp:*:2000:2000:PPP Login User:/home/ppp:/usr/local/bin/ppplogin So, that's it. My dialer program dials, logs in as userid ppp, issues the password, and the connection is established. The resulting process and routing info: bash# ps ax | grep ppp 144 d1 Is+ 0:00.06 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/ppplogin 237 d1 I+ 0:00.03 /usr/sbin/pppd proxyarp bash# netstat -nr Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 206.100.124.254 UGSc 1 74 ed1 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 206.100.124 link#1 UC 0 0 206.100.124.20 0:40:c7:55:e:77 UHLW 1 2 ed1 907 206.100.124.64 0:80:ad:b0:f:b0 UHLW 0 30 lo0 206.100.124.69 206.100.174.68 UH 3 637 ppp0 206.100.124.69 0:80:ad:b0:f:b0 UHLS2 0 0 ed1 206.100.124.70/32 link#1 UC 0 0 206.100.124.199 0:80:ad:1a:eb:ab UHLW 0 2 ed1 1080 206.100.124.254 8:0:2:1b:e:78 UHLW 2 0 ed1 146 206.100.124.68 is the local IP; 206.100.124.69 the remote IP. This is set up in the /etc/ppp/options pppd config file, but nowhere have I specified that it's the file to use. Must do it automagically, I assume--anyone in the newsgroup know for sure? The current mysterious problem: The PPP connection (dialing in from my Mac 8500 at home) works just fine--as long as everything requested resides on the server to which I'm connected. In other words, none of my client apps--Netscape, NCSA Telnet, Newswatcher, Eudora, Fetch, etc.--can connect with any other server. Eudora will not accept any other server for POP or SMTP. Netscape perpetually is "Contacting [remote host]..." The telnet client will not connect with another server directly; I have to first open a telnet session to my server and telnet from within that session to a remote host. So--any ideas on what's causing this confinement to my server? The following are the gettytab, ttys, and rc.local files, in case they might provide a clue to what's going on. If everything is kosher on the server side, then it's--what?--a problem with the Mac PPP dialup configuration, perhaps? /etc/gettytab ------------- # # Additions for a V.32bis or V.34 Modem # Starting at 57.6 Kbps # vm|VH300|Very High Speed Modem at 300,8-bit:\ :nx=VH57600:tc=std.300: vn|VH1200|Very High Speed Modem at 1200,8-bit:\ :nx=VH300:tc=std.1200: vo|VH2400|Very High Speed Modem at 2400,8-bit:\ :nx=VH1200:tc=std.2400: vp|VH9600|Very High Speed Modem at 9600,8-bit:\ :nx=VH2400:tc=std.9600: vq|VH57600|Very High Speed Modem at 57600,8-bit:\ :nx=VH9600:tc=std.57600: /etc/ttys --------- # Serial terminals ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty VH57600" dialup on secure /etc/rc.local ------------- # Set hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control for modem port COM2 stty -f /dev/ttyd1 crtscts Here's some more info: bash# stty -a -f /dev/ttyd1 ppp disc; speed 57600 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoke -echonl -echoctl -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho -pendin -nokerninfo -extproc iflags: -istrip -icrnl -inlcr -igncr -ixon -ixoff -ixany -imaxbel ignbrk -brkint -inpck ignpar -parmrk oflags: -opost -onlcr -oxtabs cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb crtscts -dsrflow -dtrflow -mdmbuf cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = ; eol2 = ; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = ; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W; (Hey, admittedly my posts are lengthy, but, y'gotta admit--they're complete. ;^) .\\ichelle ---------------------- Michelle Brownsworth System Administrator IMS, Inc.

Some IDE drives I've seen don't distinguish "master" and "single" modes. If your drive doesn't have a jumper setting for "single" try "master" in preference to "slave".

McGovern" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The problem is in the Plug-n-Pray feature of the cards. I think I blame the ep driver more than anything else. I took a brief look at the driver (and, I admit, i'm no driver wizard, but...), and it appears that even with plug and play turned off on the the 3C509, the driver still uses some of it to get a list of potential cards in the system (hence the "... 3C5X9 found at ..." message), even when all of the hardware values are specified on the config line. Unfortunately, it appears that, since the SB-PNP is also a PnP card, it responds to the query for the 3Com card. The driver then checks it out, determines its not really a 3Com 3C5X9 card, discards it, then reissues the query (starting over, rather than after the SB card). Now, I'm sure to get beat up by whoever is currently maintaining the ep driver that this isn't exactly how it works, but this is just my opinion, looking from the outside, and doing the little poking that I can. Unfortunately, I never did find a fix. I eventually gave up, and put a 3C59X (PCI) in the machine at home that was having a problem. Apparently, the vx driver doesn't work this way. Unfortunately, I guess 3Com decided to scrap the 3C59X's in favor of the 3C90X. The 3C59Xs are getting a little scarce in the marketplace at this point. Fortunately, the 900's are now supported (although I get unusual transciver messages when configing the card, but they're just a minor annoyance). Subsequently, I have, oh, 10-12 HP machines at work (Cisco Systems) that will eventually be running FreeBSD. All of them had SB 32-PNPs in them (and their "built in" Ethernet card kinda looked like an lnc card to FreeBSD, but it doesn't work well). 3C905s for all! (gives me a good upgrade path to 100-Base T anyhow) Sorry to respond with such bad news, but...

I don't know how your current installation is, but if you only have 1 partition with Windows 95 I would suggest you backup you current Windows 95 with the Full-Backup-Set as it is provided from MS. Repartition the HD. Install a boot manager if possible. Reinstall Windows 95 and restore the backup. Then install FreeBSD in the Second partition. Hope this helps. Don't worry, be Kneppie!

FreeBSD 2.10 I know that both the ps/2 port (0x60, I think) and the mouse are good as they work with NT 3.51. I have recompiled the kernel to include the psm0 device driver. The symptomes are that X will not allow the mouse curser to remain on the screen. No matter how I move the mouse, it will always remain at some point on the screen's edge. This is for resolutions of: 640X480 and 600x800 and 1024x768. I have noticed in reading the GENERIC LINT file that it says that psm0 conflicts with a macro for the keyboard. Furthermore, when booting, if I enter "-c" and then choose "visual", it indicates that psm0 CONFLICTS with the syscons driver, sc0. Both are listed at Port 0x60. Is anybody using the ps/2 port and can they tell either what I am doing wrong or have neglected??

Install proceeded smoothly until I got to the actual file copying phase. When It began to copy the dist files it would get about 100-200kk of the initial /dist/bin then give me this error Write Failure On Transfer (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes) It continued to do this for all the other /dists I had chosen, it would copy about 200k of each /dist then give the same error.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm running into a problem running an Apache server under 2.1.5, it appears that I'm running into a file limit. I've rebuilt the kernel once before, upping maxusers, CHILD_MAX, and OPEN_MAX to 256 each. If I do a limit under the root shell, I get descriptors 256 which I presume means file descriptors. If I invoke the server, it dies with (I beleive) a signal 11. If I remove a virtual host, which drops the number of files opened, it runs fine. Now, if I enter "limit descriptor unlimited" I get a much larger number from the limits command, 6-8000. However, the server still won't run. a) Am I really seeing a file descriptor problem? There are no messages logged, which I beleive I got before. b) Why does changing the limit have no effect? c) How can I invoke the server to have maximum limits without actually typing it? Would it be as simple as a limit command in rc.local (which actually starts the server)? Or do I need to wrap the command in a shell script that uses csh or tcsh? d) Is there a limit to the size of maxusers, etc? Can I, for example, use 2048 for these values? Thanks for any light you can shed on this perplexing and irritating problem.

You could, for instance, make two partitions on your new 2 gig disk and put /usr/local on one of them, and /home on the other. This would free up whatever space are currently being used by these in /usr *and* give your users home directories a lot more disk space. Another thing to keep in mind is getting high-usage files onto separate disks for performance. For instance, if you have a lot of interactive users, or do software development, putting the users home directories on a different disk than /bin, /usr/bin, etc means the system can better interleave and optimize accesses for program loading with accesses for reading/writing user files. A little thinking about which files are frequently used on your system will reveal helpful patterns. Your usage is probably different from mine, where I do mostly single-user software development and email reading. I have my home directory on one disk, the system on the main disk, and /usr/local and the CVS source code database on a third. This gives me good disk optimization, and puts my working source code files on two separate disks for safety. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Netscape. Just download the i386-unknown-bsd directly from them, and extract in /usr/X11R6/bin. It comes prebuilt. This is the standard version, I can't say for gold.

Don't install booteasy if you have System Commander. Use System Commander instead. I have reports that System Commander boots FreeBSD very easily. Lucky for you, you installed to a second disk. Sysinstall is stupid and will put booteasy on the second disk, which doesn't work.

Here's a description - Machine: Pentium 133 running FreeBSD-2.2-BETA, 128MB RAM, with an AHA-2940AU PCI SCSI host adapter, hosting two identical 1GB hard drives. Description: FreeBSD finds the SCSI adapter and recognizes it as an AHA-2940A, and finds both drives without problems. The machine runs very smoothly under most circumstances. Problem 1: This may be a purely hardware problem, but whenever the machine is rebooted, the host adapter fails to find the drives. In order to reboot successfully, I need to power cycle the machine. Problem 2: I needed to clone the contents of disk 1 onto disk 2. Using dd: dd if=/dev/sd0 of=/dev/sd1 worked fine, but was really slow. I had done the same thing on an older FreeBSD machine with an AHA-2940A controller, and to speed things up had set the blocksize to 32k, without problems: dd if=/dev/sd0 of=/dev/sd1 bs=32k However, doing this on this current machine/setup caused the machine to lock up after a few seconds. It starts fine, and then at some point all disk access stops, and the machine is completely frozen - no panics or coredumps or log errors, power cycle necessary to restart. After a bit of testing, I found that any blocksize of larger than 1k causes this crash. So, are there any ideas as to what may be causing this behavior? I'm eager to get this machine into production, and would really appreciate any help anyone can offer. --- Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: FreeBSD 2.2-BETA_A #0: Fri Jan 10 08:57:02 PST 1997 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: root@news3.sirius.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/FRUMPY Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: Calibrating clock(s) relative to mc146818A clock ... i586 clock: 132635859 Hz, i8254 clock: 1193223 Hz Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: CPU: Pentium (132.63-MHz 586-class CPU) Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x52c Stepping=12 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: Features=0x1bf Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: real memory = 134217728 (131072K bytes) Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: avail memory = 127434752 (124448K bytes) Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: chip0 rev 1 on pci0:0 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: chip1 rev 2 on pci0:7:0 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: chip2 rev 2 on pci0:7:1 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: de0 rev 18 int a irq 9 on pci0:13 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: de0: SMC 9332 21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 1.2 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: de0: address 00:00:c0:6f:ee:e7 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: de0: enabling 10baseT port Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: de1 rev 18 int a irq 10 on pci0:14 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: de1: SMC 9332 21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 1.2 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: de1: address 00:00:c0:6b:ee:e7 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: de1: enabling 10baseT port Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: ahc0 rev 1 int a irq 11 on pci0:15 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: ahc0: aic7860 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 3 SCBs Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: (ahc0:0:0): "DEC L4PL-IDT H44I" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 1021MB (2091144 512 byte sectors) Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: (ahc0:1:0): "DEC L4PL-IDT H44I" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 Jan 14 03:19:53 news3 /kernel: sd1(ahc0:1:0): Direct-Access 1021MB (2091144 512 byte sectors) Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: Probing for devices on the ISA bus: Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: sc0: VGA color <14 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: lpt0: Interrupt-driven port Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: lp0: TCP/IP capable interface Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: sio0: type 16550A Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: fdc0: NEC 72065B Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: npx0 on motherboard Jan 14 03:19:54 news3 /kernel: npx0: INT 16 interface From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 14 13:01:36 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id NAA06870 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 14 Jan 1997 13:01:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from wiley.csusb.edu (wiley.csusb.edu [139.182.2.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id NAA06861 for ; Tue, 14 Jan 1997 13:01:27 -0800 (PST) Received: (from wwong@localhost) by wiley.csusb.edu (8.8.4/8.6.11) id MAA17738 for questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 14 Jan 1997 12:42:35 -0800 (PST) From: William Wong Message-Id: <199701142042.MAA17738@wiley.csusb.edu> Subject: Short on disk space To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 14 Jan 1997 12:42:35 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello All! Has anybody experienced a file system full while trying to do a make world? I installed off of the 2.1.5-RELEASE CDROM and compiled a new kernel. I then tried the bytebench test and got a file system full error in /usr. I then tried a make world and it died while compressing the man pages because of the file system full error again. I'm sorry about the vagueness of the above description. I briefly looked at the console before rushing out the door to school this morning. The / partition is 128Megs, swap is 128Megs, and /usr is the rest of the 2 gig Seagate barracuda 32550N. I assumed that I would have enough space. df shows /usr at 26% with something like 1.5 gigs left. My machine is an ASUS SP3 with 32 Megs, adaptec 2940W, Seagate barracuda 32550N. My machine was solid prior to 2.1.5-RELEASE. -- William T.

The floppy install has been a total farce. ;( But here's how you do it: 1. put all files in bin/ for the bin distribution, manpages/, etc. on the floppy. 2. Put bin.inf on the first disk. Put the .inf file for the NEXT distribution on the LAST disk of the previous distribution.

I believe the best way is to just add the drive and move parts of /usr over to the new disk, ie /home, and symlink those over to the new disk. We did this on our machine and there's no noticable difference.

Each PC doing this will > need a TCP/IP stack installed. All PC's already have a TCP/IP stack. Installed that already since I knew I would need it. What is 'popper'? I expect it is some FreeBSD program that provides the communication between the FreeBSD mail handling and the PC's via ethernet. It might be all that is missing in my setup since I have the impression that most of the setup is correct. Just TCP/IP on a client PC won't connect and so won't work. Neither does TELNET by the way. I was told that TELNET 10.0.0.1 also should connect to the FreeBSD box. I guess there is something wrong with the connection between FreeBSD and 'ed0' while the kernel at start says that everything is ok. I could not find anything in FreeBSD so far. I also looked shortly at the packages/mail directory, but could not figure... Any ideas? Thanks for the help so far.

I can install it just fine now (it appears to install anyway), i just can not boot it at all. Let me give you kind souls a description of my computer and see if you can help. I will try to speak in FreeBSD terms whenever i can its all still pretty new to me (if you know linux terms i know those a little better when dealing with harddrives). I have 3 harddrives set up as so: /dev/wd0 Windows95 IBM OEM Disk 540 MB 1049 cyl 16 heads 63 sec/t /dev/wd1 Where i propose to keep FreeBSD Western Digital Caviar 3100 1083 MB 2100 cyl 16 heads 63 sec/t /dev/wd2s1 LiNUX /dev/wd2s2 MSDOS Vfat partition Maxtor Model 7540RV 540 MB (or there abouts) 1046 cyl 16 heads 63 sec/t All of the harddrive info came dirctley off of the Harddrives themselves so i will assume it to be correct. But then again we all know about ASS U ME ing something :) When I go into the FreeBSD's Disk Labeler (or whatever its called) I push a to use the entire disk. Then i select yes when it asks me if i want to keep this compatible with other operating systems (Does it matter what i select if im using the whole disk for FreeBSD?). I then use the auto defaults for the disk partitions and this is what i get: / 32mb UFS Y 42mb Swap /var 320mb UFS Y /usr 929mb UFS Y I then select q and select my packages and where i want them installed. Every thing appears to go fine until i try to boot from System Commander (which i have also used before). I get "No Bootable Partition". Now back hat the disk labeler thing should i make the FreeBSD partition Active by pushing s or will this interfere with my other operating systems. At the Boot selctor options i have tried them all and none seems to work. What can i do or am i doing something wrong when i try to install the OS. I do not mind how my drives are configured as long as FreeBSD ends up on the Western Digital one. What is the exact syntax that i need to use to boot from the floopy dirve? i have tried this but it gives me a syntax wrong or something to that effect. Also of note to whoever reads this i am starting to mess around with some HTML and have a FreeBSD Page starting to Brew. It is at: http://www.netten.net/~tphilips please check it out and send me a note about what you think so far, or what would be good to add. I would like a page of relevent FreeBSD links since they are so hard to find on the WWW. Its not much now but i would like to add more if there is much interest. Pass along the yerl (thats southern) if you don't mind.

Installing a newer netscape is then a piece of cake. netscape itself is a shell script under FreeBSD which does the appropriate environmantal settings and then starts the binary, netscape.bin.

With all the talk about Commercial Applications being ported to FreeBSD, and whatnot, I figured it would be interesting to generate some actual numbers... So...I've created "The Unofficial FreeBSD Usage Survey" Its still under construction, but its being designed in such a way that if you complete the survey, and more sections get added to it, then you can go back and update your entry. Right now, there are 4 sections: Number of Systems per Version Number of Systems per Platform Disk Controller/Driver(s) being used Network Interface/Driver(s) being used The one required field in the survey is an Email Address...the *only* purpose(s) for that field is to send out a notice when the form has changed, as well as a login id for doing updates to your entry. It will *never* be given out, or displayed. The URL can be found at: http://www.hub.org/~scrappy I will be designing a "Results" page over the next day or so that will summarize the results to date, so that the results are public. And, any input on what should be added (what information would be nice) is appreciated, and should be directed to myself...as well as any problems.

You could find out for sure using lsof (in ports), which lists - probably in a lot more detail than you need :-) - all of the open files in the system.

Out of file handles would not normally do this unless something were very poorly coded indeed. I should warn you that there *is* a bug in apache 1.1.1 which is related to virtual hosts. If you have a virtual host entry by ip number, i.e. ... and the IP isn't in the DNS, then apache will crash each and every time it gets to that entry when scanning through to find out which host a connection is for, due to a null pointer dereference (on the hostname field, as it turns out). The bug may also be triggered if an fdqn is not available in the DNS too - my memory of the code fixed at the time I found it was that this also would have problems. This may have been fixed in the 1.1.2 "security" fix recently as I reported the problem, which included a patch, a few weeks ago. If not, I can probably dig up the patch. > a) Am I really seeing a file descriptor problem? There are > no messages logged, which I beleive I got before. It is almost impossible to determine this except by using the debugger to find out precisely why it crashes. > b) Why does changing the limit have no effect? Maybe because that isn't the problem. :-) To be honest, I seriously doubt that it is a descriptor limits problem. > c) How can I invoke the server to have maximum limits without actually > typing it? Would it be as simple as a limit command in rc.local (which > actually starts the server)? Or do I need to wrap the command in a shell > script that uses csh or tcsh? sh can do this just fine. /bin/sh uses a "ulimit" command instead of a "limit" command. In fact, all popular shells have standard resource setting commands in one form or another (except perl, it seems :(). If you want to make more handles available for apache, then insert the following into /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh: #!/bin/sh ulimit -n unlimited [ -f /usr ... etc > d) Is there a limit to the size of maxusers, etc? Can I, for example, > use 2048 for these values? The limit is dependant on how much memory you have available. You're probably throwing away a pile of resources in taking it up that high. One of my clients runs something over 100 vhosts on a 2.1.5 box, many of the web trees containing literally thousands of files - we don't have file descriptor problems, nor have we had do do anything about attempting to up the default descriptor limits for web server processes. CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX are both set to 64. As you might guess, this is where the "ip not in DNS" bug was discovered.

Almost all do as a rule. The command line option is: "-iconic". I guess you were searching for "minimize" or similar. :-) It is covered in the X manpage. Terminology often gets in the way like that. > I'm trying to do this by modifying xinitrc Now, that depends on what you're doing in xinitrc. See if adding -iconic to the app's command line helps. Most Xtoolkit options have 'resource' equivalents, so if you always wanted to start a particular program iconified regardless of how you start it, then you might add: resourcename*iconic: true to your ~/.Xdefaults. "resourcename" is the resource string that your program uses - normally it will be the same or similar to the name of the program, sometimes only the case is different. See its manpage and the RESOURCES section for more explanation.

I can install it just fine now (it appears to install anyway), i just can not boot it at all. Let me give you kind souls a description of my computer and see if you can help. I will try to speak in FreeBSD terms whenever i can its all still pretty new to me (if you know linux terms i know those a little better when dealing with harddrives). I have 3 harddrives set up as so: /dev/wd0 Windows95 IBM OEM Disk 540 MB 1049 cyl 16 heads 63 sec/t /dev/wd1 Where i propose to keep FreeBSD Western Digital Caviar 3100 1083 MB 2100 cyl 16 heads 63 sec/t /dev/wd2s1 LiNUX /dev/wd2s2 MSDOS Vfat partition Maxtor Model 7540RV 540 MB (or there abouts) 1046 cyl 16 heads 63 sec/t All of the harddrive info came dirctley off of the Harddrives themselves so i will assume it to be correct. But then again we all know about ASS U ME ing something :) When I go into the FreeBSD's Disk Labeler (or whatever its called) I push a to use the entire disk. Then i select yes when it asks me if i want to keep this compatible with other operating systems (Does it matter what i select if im using the whole disk for FreeBSD?). I then use the auto defaults for the disk partitions and this is what i get: / 32mb UFS Y 42mb Swap /var 320mb UFS Y /usr 929mb UFS Y I then select q and select my packages and where i want them installed. Every thing appears to go fine until i try to boot from System Commander (which i have also used before). I get "No Bootable Partition". Now back hat the disk labeler thing should i make the FreeBSD partition Active by pushing s or will this interfere with my other operating systems. At the Boot selctor options i have tried them all and none seems to work. What can i do or am i doing something wrong when i try to install the OS. I do not mind how my drives are configured as long as FreeBSD ends up on the Western Digital one. What is the exact syntax that i need to use to boot from the floopy dirve? i have tried this but it gives me a syntax wrong or something to that effect. Also of note to whoever reads this i am starting to mess around with some HTML and have a FreeBSD Page starting to Brew. It is at: http://www.netten.net/~tphilips please check it out and send me a note about what you think so far, or what would be good to add. I would like a page of relevent FreeBSD links since they are so hard to find on the WWW. Its not much now but i would like to add more if there is much interest. Pass along the yerl (thats southern) if you don't mind.

Does that exist for FreeBSD ? All Twain does is give applications a 'defined' path to talk to the drivers for applications to pull in scanns. If you have a HP scanner and want to use Twain in ThumbsPlus, thumbs just uses the Twain interface to call the HP drivers. You are better off just trying to find drivers for the scanner and don't worry about Twain. -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.

Sysinstall does get slightly confused when installing to a disk other than the first in the system.

You can safely install to a new disk and rewire the new system to use your old /usr by modifying /etc/disktab.

I am the system administrator for an ISP using a FreeBSD box as platform for a IRC server. The only thing that runs on this machine is the ircd. We've had the system up and running for about 3-4 weeks using the GENERIC kernel. Yesterday, I decided it was time to compile a custom kernel that only probes and processes the devices we have on our machine. Our config is rather simple. I have an Adaptec 2940UW host adapter it drives a 1.6g Fujitsu scsi drive and a NEC CDRom. The cdrom has not been used ever, but is part of the system, just in case. It also has an onboard floppy controller. fd0 A pentium MB with a 100Mhz processor. And, finally, an NE2000 compatible NIC My editing of the config was fairly easy, and to be sure I closely understood the config itself, I followed the instructional information from the website and FreeBSD handbook. The editing and compilation went very smoothly, and upon reboot, the system booted with no device conflicts, and the included devices supported appropriately. Once the system had come up and run for about 20 minutes, I started the ircd deamon. The system performed wonderfully from that point on for about a total of 5-6 hours. Then, out of nowhere, the kernel reported a signal 11 and the ircd exited. I know this is a bounding error, and at first I didn't know what I should have done. Then I realized it may help to recompile the ircd, so today I did just that. The system run with 64meg of RAM, and with an iostat... is basically asleep with the ircd running. After the ircd rebuild, the system continued to run normally for about another 4-5 hours. Then, the sig 11 was reported again from the kernel. As of this writing, I have diverted back to the GENERIC kernel. Does anyone have any ideas as to why such an error would have occured, or might have I commented out a device that might have been needed? I would be interested to see what someone might be able to tell me.

FreeBSD doesn't service the sio port fast enough for 16450 hardware, so you'll get dropped characters. With PPP it isn't such a bad problem since it'll just resend bad packets.

Average cost was about $110, and all of the vendors made reasonable claims to speed improvement. I'm curious to find out if anyone has used them with a FreeBSD enviornment, and how they worked out. Now, I realize that the bias is going to be "Why not go out and buy a full fledge pentium?", but, the upgrade I'm considering is for my server/router, which doesn't need such a kick in the pants, and if I wanted to spend $400+ to get another pentium MB, processor, and probably some RAM, I'd put it on one of my desktops where it'd really do some good. So, anyone care to give me an impression of whether it'd be worth it to keep an aging 486 useful for another year or so, or would I be wasting my money? -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 15 19:13:00 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id TAA22701 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 15 Jan 1997 19:13:00 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id TAA22693 for ; Wed, 15 Jan 1997 19:12:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.2/8.6.12) with SMTP id TAA11490; Wed, 15 Jan 1997 19:12:49 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 15 Jan 1997 19:12:49 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: michael dorin cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Why does my install lockup In-Reply-To: <199701140153.TAA19148@chaski.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 On Mon, 13 Jan 1997, michael dorin wrote: > I can get the boot disk to comeup right to the Welcome to FreeBSD menu. > Then my system locks up and and can't enter a keystroke. > > Any thoughts on this?

The answer is `Yes, I can do something.' and `It was done to comply with RFC1535 to close a vulnerability in old "all too-forgiving DNS clients"'. To obtain the old behaviour /etc/resolv.conf should read: search mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de ruhr-uni-bochum.de nameserver 134.147.6.1 This should be done, however, only(!) when one can trust not only the administrator of `mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de' but also the one of `ruhr-uni-bochum.de' (in this example).

Generically (and you can invert the up/down in the following, particularly on PCs - and I'm leaving out *lots* of details) - a program loaded on a UNIX machine can be thought of as a few sections and a stack and a heap (I'm also greatly simplifying here; typically there are actually more sections and there's no reason they need to be contiguous, etc... but I'm trying to illustrate) - When a program is running in it's virtual address space - it looks like: ++++++++++++++++ | program | | (.text) | ++++++++++++++++ | initialized | | data | | (.data) | ++++++++++++++++ | uninitialized| | data (.bss) | ++++++++++++++++ <- end | stack | | | | \|/ (hole) /|\ | | | <- sbrk | heap | ++++++++++++++++ The "heap" grows toward the program stack. So, there is a virtual "hole" in-between them... but, so what? Now, on PCs there is another "hole" between 640K and the first 1M. Also, there is a "hole" in high memory used by the BIOS... but with virtual memory these aren't "really" there; just physically there. - Dave R. - From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 15 20:58:33 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id UAA00707 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 15 Jan 1997 20:58:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from zeus.xtalwind.net (pa2dsp7.x31.infi.net [206.27.115.55]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id UAA00697 for ; Wed, 15 Jan 1997 20:57:51 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by zeus.xtalwind.net (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id AAA07940; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 00:00:20 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 00:00:18 -0500 (EST) From: jack X-Sender: jack@localhost To: "Brian J.

We tried one. Wouldn't get far enough into the boot sequence to begin to load any OS off the drive on two motherboards. On a third it would only boot if the external cache was disabled, making it slower than the 486DX2-66 it, briefly :), replaced.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I know you don't have much time for these things, so if I don't receive a response, I understand. I have a Pentium system that I've been considering running FreeBSD on, but I don't want to try my 2.1.0 release on it. I've run 2.1.0 successfully before on my 486 (sadly, currently running '95), but this system is sufficiently different that I belive 2.1.0 won't run at all on it. Here's the rundown: Tyan Tomcat I, bios 2.12 P5/133 512K cache 128MB RAM Buslogic BT-958 (ultra/wide) Seagate ST32155W (2G ultra/wide SCSI drive) Matrox Millenium 4MB (reportedly supported under latest revision of XFree) NEC 4x4 IDE 4 disc changer (has BIOS support!) MultiTech 2834BC (aka 2834ZDX) v.34 modem 3Com 3C900 Etherlink XL combo card HP 4C color flatbed scanner w/ bundled Symbios Logic 8-bit SCSI card HP DeskJet 660C HP4L laser printer These last three items will live quite happily on the 486 under '95, so they're not critical (although I would prefer that they operate under FreeBSD). For the remainder, is there a distribution of FreeBSD that supports this hardware? I'm not a programmer, so writing my own driver code is out of the question, but kernel config mods are certainly reasonable and doable by me. I'm running NTWS 4.0 SP1 on this box right now and have considered SunSoft's "competitive upgrade" offer, but I'd much rather support your efforts, since they seem to stem from love of the activity and not from the ever-spiraling chase of dollars. Also, I'm OK with a running Unix installation as a user (enough so to be rather disgusted with SCO, in comparison to FreeBSD, OSF/1, AIX, Ultrix, Solaris, Linux, hell, even VMS, VM/XA, and MVS/ESA!), but setup can be a bit daunting at times, so ease of installation is also of importance. Do you offer a product that meets the above requirements? Admittedly, it's a tall order for a product that bills itself as free (I would order from Walnut Creek, just like I did for 2.1.0--no complaints, and I hope you guys see some of the money!), but they're requirements, nonetheless. If I need to wait for an upcoming release, that's fine--I just don't want to jump in the wrong direction or jump too soon.

If you can't handle FTP, then you shouldn't try FreeBSD. If you would like a UN*X-like system that will probably suit your needs, and you don't want to deal with technical introductions, I can reccommend a couple of packages. $99. "Coherent". Good training system, not extremely powerful, relatively easy installation process. Free. Linux via FTP. Relatively easy-to-use, well-supported. The installation process is simplified due to a larger base of installed linux users with nothing to do. $20-100. Linux via CD-ROM. See above. There are several varieties, one of the cheapest being WC-Linux from Walnut Creek. http://www.cdrom.com There are other free varieties, like slackware unix, from sunsite.UNC.EDU. I think that the commercial, and more expensive varieties are easier to deal with. Try Red Hat linux at www.redhat.com (I think) or, if you enjoy bashing your head against the wall: Free. NetBSD via FTP. http://www.netbsd.org. Much harder to install and less powerful than freebsd, doesn't help you much, but you learn a lot. Expensive. BSD/Interactive. I don't know how hard the professionial package is to install. ... Installing anything when you have Win95 installed required defragmenting the drive and then running either FIPS (free) or PartitionMagic (pay) to create a new partition. This implies that you like installing software, or you have the capability to backup your disk. You cannot run FreeBSD easily or well off of a dos partition, because the system favors the unix file system types, such as ffs. With a bit of luck, like I had, though I don't care about my data right now, you can split partitions keep the data. Otherwise, if you're worried about mom asking where her resume went, I'd say you should look into backing up before you make any move whatsoever. -John From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 15 23:24:06 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id XAA07362 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 15 Jan 1997 23:24:06 -0800 (PST) Received: from post-ofc02.srv.cis.pitt.edu (root@post-ofc02.srv.cis.pitt.edu [136.142.185.24]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id XAA07355 for ; Wed, 15 Jan 1997 23:24:03 -0800 (PST) Received: from local (root@localhost) by post-ofc02.srv.cis.pitt.edu (8.8.4/cispo-2.0.1.7) ID ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 02:24:02 -0500 (EST) Received: via switchmail; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 02:24:02 -0500 (EST) Received: from pop.srv.cis.pitt.edu via qmail ID ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 02:22:44 -0500 (EST) Received: from ehdup-i-14.rmt.net.pitt.edu (ehdup-i-14.rmt.net.pitt.edu [136.142.21.184]) by pop.srv.cis.pitt.edu with SMTP (8.8.4/cispop-1.6.1.4) ID ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 02:22:41 -0500 (EST) Received: by ehdup-i-14.rmt.net.pitt.edu with Microsoft Mail id <01BC0353.F64AD700@ehdup-i-14.rmt.net.pitt.edu>; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 02:21:20 -0500 Message-ID: <01BC0353.F64AD700@ehdup-i-14.rmt.net.pitt.edu> From: John Duncan To: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" , "'JKtheOWL@aol.com'" Subject: RE: Getting tip to work Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 02:17:00 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk ---------- From: JKtheOWL@aol.com[SMTP:JKtheOWL@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 1997 7:54 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Getting tip to work Greetings, I do not seem to be able to get any response out of my internal modem. It works fine under WIndows but no go with FreeBSD. I have been over the documentation (online and on my system) until I no longer am sensible. The modem is a Zoom 14.4 V.32bis and will work like a generic Hayes. It is located on sio1 (COM2 - in DOSnik). Boot finds the port and reports its location and irq number. I do get these funny little messages in root about "events on sio1 with no tp." One of the errors (on running tip) is "all ports busy." These two are related, yes? The other error is "permission denied". Which files need modification? And,what goes in them? Help, please? The question which is next, is how would I hook tip or whatever else to Mosaic to get to stop using DOS/Windows? Thanks for the help. Regards, John PS Version is 2.1.5 with X on top. The initial reply is always "did you check /etc/ttys" to see if there is a getty turned on by accident on /dev/ttyd1 or /dev/cuaa1. If the port is busy, that is usually a profound statement about how it is in use, and getty is enough to screw with tip, and mice, and all. Once that is set up, you can use tip to test the port, and you can get mosaic to run through it with ppp or pppd. I prefer pppd, though everyone here likes the user-process ppp. There is a lot of info on using ppp. Plus, I'd say that mosaic is web-dead these days, and that the other browsers are better options.

McGovern[SMTP:mcgovern@spoon.beta.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 1997 10:02 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Pentium "upgrade chips" I was just flipping though my latest copy of Micro Warehouse catalog, and I noticed (not the the first time) CPU upgrade chips that claimed to be dropping "Pentium Processing Power" in to a 486 socket. Average cost was about $110, and all of the vendors made reasonable claims to speed improvement. I'm curious to find out if anyone has used them with a FreeBSD enviornment, and how they worked out. Now, I realize that the bias is going to be "Why not go out and buy a full fledge pentium?", but, the upgrade I'm considering is for my server/router, which doesn't need such a kick in the pants, and if I wanted to spend $400+ to get another pentium MB, processor, and probably some RAM, I'd put it on one of my desktops where it'd really do some good. So, anyone care to give me an impression of whether it'd be worth it to keep an aging 486 useful for another year or so, or would I be wasting my money? -Brian Hmm. I'm using a "deep green" generic clock-doubler aware 486 mother- board with an AMD P5-133 upgrade chip in it. It requires a heat sink, and fan, but aside from that, it is working wonders as compared to my old 486- SX. I haven't had any problems with it. FreeBSD recognizes it as a 486, and calls it a GenuineAMD. (joke?) But aside from that, npx0 is found with int16, and it's all peachy. These chips offer processing power equivalent to a Pentium-60 or -75, or so. It was really nice because I kept my vlb-bus things. -John From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 16 00:34:33 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id AAA10449 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 00:34:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from dfw-ix8.ix.netcom.com (dfw-ix8.ix.netcom.com [206.214.98.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id AAA10436 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 00:34:31 -0800 (PST) From: shegonee@ix.netcom.com Received: from shegonee (irv-ca6-01.ix.netcom.com [199.35.215.193]) by dfw-ix8.ix.netcom.com (8.6.13/8.6.12) with SMTP id AAA00924 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 00:33:59 -0800 Message-Id: <1.5.4.32.19970116203358.006738dc@popd.ix.netcom.com> X-Sender: shegonee@popd.ix.netcom.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.4 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 12:33:58 -0800 To: questions@freebsd.com Subject: SCSI CD-ROM Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Riddle Me This, While probing the NEC CD_ROM on my SCSI buss, I get: cd0(ncr0:3:0): CD-ROM : FAST SCSI-2 135 ns(*mb/sec) offset 8 : NOT READY asc:3a,0 : ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB I'm able to mount it correctly and read from it.

Just type "-s" at the Boot: prompt. However, I guess single-user mode is not what you'd like. Sendmail hangs probably due to DNS problems. Try pressing ^C when it hangs. Depending on how you use the system you should either: 1. Not start sendmail at all (if that's the only problem). 2. Configure name resolution so that everything you need is self-contained. 3. Press ^C when you boot without the Net. 4. Let the DNS query (if that's indeed what's stopping you) time out. Note: DNS can take a long time to timeout!

Reading through the Handbook and "The Complete FreeBSD," I came across these two kernel options that look interesting. We are running a 2.1.5-Release system, and I am wondering if the "I686_CPU" option is available to me, and if it would help significantly. Also, we run an IRC server on this system that makes heavy use of File Descriptors. Would installing support for the FDESC filesystem be of use to me? I can't find any documentation on it in the Handbook/FAQ search, and nothing that helped me in the mail list search. Any other info on what to look for would be appreciated as well.

Well, I don't know, are there any BSD-ish Unices which has poll, because it has ``select'' at all, and as in Stevens: Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment: pg 400: The SVR4 poll function is similar to select, but the programming interface is different. pg 396: The poll function is provided only by SVR4. SVR4 actually implements select using poll. (Well, in the next paragraph, he said, that poll was in SVR3, too - and yes, it was.) --> Maybe you can implement poll with select, too. (It's not Stevens, it's me.) And I think, if it's an SVR4-emulator on NetBSD, they (the NBSD team) made such emulation of poll, with select.

What I would like to do is only disable that feature for 1 domain we handle, not the whole server. Mail for several domains is handled by this box, but I only want one to not give the errors.. The reason for this is, their mail is forwared via SMTP to their host, in which they do not connect overnight. This often means a message is in the queue for more than 4 hours during the evening hours. So before racking my brain, I though it may be good to ask if anyone had tried this before with success.

I first tried to install from dos with the command install so the cd-rom ran and then chk out the system then contiuned on to a menu. The menu just locked up did not work. Next I tried to make a boot disk so from the cd I typed makeflp so I put a floppy disk in my drive it formatted it then copied the image on to it. Then I rebooted my system. My system is a gateway 2000 p5-60 with 16m and 2 IDE hard drives. So anyways I just rebooted with the floppy disk and then it prompts I just hit enter. It runs a bunch of text then comes up to a menu do u want to configure the kernal in visual mode advanced or skip this and contiune with installing. So I goto configure in visual mode. Next at the top it says 21 conflicts so I expand and try to fix the conflicts there are cards in there that I don't even have and they are conflicting with my system so I delete them. And my cd-rom is conflicting so I try diff ports and it stopped same with my mouse. So there are no more conflicts I hit q and save it. It then goes to this menu. Well I setup the harddrive in automode I let the program deside what I need but then I go to the novice install and the menu driven program is jacked I hit space bar on the packages I want then this DEC encryption program keeps on coming up so I hit skip for that I also tried selecting everything so I goback to the main there is an X for the package I selected so I try to install another section the dumnb DEC encryption thing comes up again. So i go back to the main and the X is now on the package I just selected and the other x is gone. So I am just using the space bar to select the packages. My mouse was not working so I am not sure if the menu program even supports a mouse. Next I go to install the packages just to see if it will even install says CD-ROM not found..... This damn thing is really pissing me offf.

McGovern" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was just recently trying to tinker will adding some device drivers to my Unix system, to play with them. Using the instructions from the handbook (4.1.2 - Make room in conf.c), I noticed that I didn't have a conf.c in the patch specified (/usr/src/sys/i386/i386). Thinking this weird, and knowing I had been seriously tinkering with the system source anyways, I went to reinstall from the 2.2-BETA CD I had burned from myself. I got all the way though ssys.aq when it bombed, saying the compressed data was invalid. So, thinking I had a bad copy, I downloaded ssys.* from ftp.freebsd.org, in /pub/FreeBSD/2.2-BETA/src... The same problem occured. Is it possible that the system source got corrupted? Or am I just being stupid? Kernel compiles work fine, but the handbook just doesn't seem to jove, and it claims to have last been updated 1/4/97. Any help getting a good ssys distribution would be helpful. -Brian From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 16 13:02:24 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id NAA13229 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 13:02:24 -0800 (PST) Received: from quackerjack.cc.vt.edu (quackerjack.cc.vt.edu [198.82.160.250]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id NAA13219 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 13:02:18 -0800 (PST) Received: from sable.cc.vt.edu (sable.cc.vt.edu [128.173.16.30]) by quackerjack.cc.vt.edu (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id QAA17286 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 16:02:12 -0500 (EST) Received: from jaarcher.async.vt.edu (jaarcher.async.vt.edu [128.173.22.102]) by sable.cc.vt.edu (8.8.4/8.8.4) with SMTP id QAA21666 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 16:02:10 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19970116160040.006779c0@mail.vt.edu> X-Sender: jaarcher@mail.vt.edu X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 beta 4 (32) Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 16:00:41 -0500 To: questions@FreeBSD.org From: Jimmy Subject: login/password Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I just finished installing FreeBSD on my computer.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello again, I've recently installed INN 1.4unoff4 on a FreeBSD-2.2-BETA Pentium 133 with 128 MB RAM. In testing out various options I unearthed a little patch which causes it to use System V shared memory to reduce the size of each in.nnrpd process. To be honest, this looks too good to be true - I was able to run well over 120 dummy readers on this machine without a significant performance hit, and with almost no swapping taking place. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into problems using this patch specifically, or more generally with FreeBSD's implementation of System V shared memory.

I've also thought about doing a minimal install and then downloading the other components later but again I do not know what files I would need to equavilate an XUser installion. I am eventually going to want the development files too. Any information would be extremly helpful.

My one and only hard disk is a Western Digital Caviar 1.6G EIDE drive. I currently have OS/2 on the disk in the following configuration: Primary Partition: OS/2 Boot Manager Primary Partition: C: drive with DOS Logical Partition: D: Free space, intended home for FreeBSD Logical Partition: E: OS/2 system Logical Partition: F: OS/2 data (HPFS formatted) This system has worked well for me for 2+ years, and now I want to add FreeBSD to my happy family. :) However, in order to install FreeBSD I had to go through some pretty complex gymnastics with FIPS, etc. which resulted in the loss of my DOS partition (thank goodness for backups :). I did however finally get a FreeBSD system up and running, but the problem came when I tried to boot OS/2. My system had changed to: Primary Partition: OS/2 Boot Manager Primary Partition: C: drive with DOS Primary Partition: FreeBSD Logical Partition: D: OS/2 system Logical Partition: E: OS/2 data (HPFS formatted) This prevented OS/2 from booting because of course everything was on the "wrong" drive. I tried using OS/2's fdisk to create a fake D: partition with some free space from the C: partition, but ran into the "3+1" rule, so it wouldn't use the free space that I allocated. My question is, what is the best way to acheive my desired goal? Re-installing OS/2 is an option, but not a desirable one. I have read some about the other boot managers for FreeBSD, would Boot Easy or OS-BS be able to fool OS/2 into thinking that it was still on the E: partition? Also, if one of the other boot managers can live without a primary partition to run from, I could always delete OS/2's Boot Manager and create the fake D: partition that way. blessings, Doug From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 16 16:47:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id QAA27443 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 16:47:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id QAA27427 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 16:47:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.2/8.6.12) with SMTP id QAA03649; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 16:47:17 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 16:47:16 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: luka cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: (no subject) In-Reply-To: <32DD9C92.EB5@venturanet.it> 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, 16 Jan 1997, luka wrote: > i must connect a win95 machine with a freebsd server. > both are two pc penitum 120. > A PROBLEM:when i telnet on server i must see the login: > so it's possible this with SAMBA ? > how can i do for connect this pc with a parallel cable? Samba is the Windows Networking server package. It would act like a WIn95 box doing file sharing or an OS/2 Lan Server. You cannot connect your Win95 box to your FreeBSD box using parallel. They use completely different protocols. Instead, buy a couple of cheap Ethernet cards and string a cable between them. (If you get 10BaseT/TP units, you need a special crossover cable with pairs 1-2 and 3-6 reversed.)

I installed freebsd onto my second harddrive and then booted with a dos boot disk and changed the active partition to my first harddrive (windows95), then i tried to boot again with system commander nothing happend. i tried to boot from the boot disk nothing happend. i used linux fdisk to create four partions for freebsd on my second harddrive. i installed freebsd mounting the partions in this order / /var /usr. i rebooted and selected system commander, this time i got the boot: prompt but no matter what i entered nothing happend. incidentley after i installed last time i switched to virtual terminal 4 or 5 i forget which just to see if everything was installed and i moved around the dir structure and everything was in order. so getting peeved at this point (getting a boot prompt but not actually booting the system) i decided to see if i could install freebsd on my first harddrive from my 3rd harddrive which has the dos partition. everything installed fine and i rebooted got the boot prompt, hit enter, and freebsd booted without a problem just like its supposed to. is there anyway to put windows95 onto another drive beside the first one? what does lba, normal and large mean in the bios setup, do these have anything to do with me not being able to boot from the other drives? sigh. if i only did not need windows95 all would be fine. but i can't. any help would be greatley appreciated. Thanks for everyones time.

You can't install them without the CD. Just use 'pkg_add' like you always have. Upgrade instructions follow: FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist: 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE MODIFIED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local and other files noted during the upgrade process. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.

That's right. Delete the devices you don't have and change the others to match your configuration. You didn't say what OS you have on the system now, but you shoudl be able to look in it's configuration files and find the proper settings for the devices. > And my cd-rom is conflicting so I try diff ports and it stopped same > with my mouse. The mouse is OK, its *supposed* to conflict. The CDROM depends on your system. Most modern systems use ATAPI/IDE interfaced CDs and thus don't require any special configuration other than to delete all the special CDROM controllers and leave the wdc controllers. > So there are no more conflicts I hit q and save it.

The mouse isn't used in sysinstall. I would highly suggest reading the install documentation (at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.6-RELEASE/INSTALL.TXT) if you have not already. I also need to know more details about your machine, as well as what install method you're using, before I can completely answer your question(s).

The I686_CPU is an option that, if used singularly, should make use of a few of the things that make P6s useful. I would say that it will increase in speed, although the clock rate should be the most major improvement that a p6 offers. An increase in performance for IRC servers come from wide-bus scsi drivers, faster network channels, etc. Also, we run an IRC server on this system that makes heavy use of File Descriptors. Would installing support for the FDESC filesystem be of use to me? I can't find any documentation on it in the Handbook/FAQ search, and nothing that helped me in the mail list search. No, you would not gain any speed. You should look into the ccd0 driver. If you have two scsi or ide channels, that is, adapters, then concatenating _identical_ disks will garner a definite performance increase. IRC usually requires many file accesses,, which are best-performed by ccds. Also, caching scsi controllers can help, but I'm not sure if we have the support. Any other info on what to look for would be appreciated as well.

I have a slow net connection *28.8( and I would like to wait for the CD to come out to do as much as possible. So just what do I need to upgrade to work corectly? Your wise advice on thiswill be appreciated. Er, yes, but: You need to compile the kernel with some COMPAT options so that the kernel retains binary compatibility with the older programs. There may be some flakiness as well, so I would tell you to get the CD as soon as it comes out and replace the binaries quickly. -John From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 16 17:42:33 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id RAA01683 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 17:42:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from tok.qiv.com (root@[204.214.141.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id RAA01667 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 17:42:30 -0800 (PST) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by tok.qiv.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with UUCP id TAA07849; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 19:30:32 -0600 Received: from localhost (jdn@localhost) by acp.qiv.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA00876; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 19:23:34 -0600 (CST) X-Authentication-Warning: acp.qiv.com: jdn owned process doing -bs Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 19:23:33 -0600 (CST) From: "Jay D.

If you dont want ANYONE to telnet into your system then you should comment the telnet line out of /etc/inetd.conf, then restart the inet process will a 'kill -HUP "the inetd process id"'. If you still want people on your local network to be able to telnet in, the two traditional methods have been to use tcpwrappers, or a filter package. Tcpwappers seems to be declining in popularity these days, and I would recommend a filter package - specificaly IPfilter, although ipfw seems popular too. You may also want to look at ssh (secure shell) which amongst other things replaces the functionality of telnet with an public/private key encrypted session. (very cool, and quite popular.)

The device name has the following structure: First, the device type (for disks - wd or sd). Second, the device number (0,1, etc...). Third, assuming you have slices (DOS partitions) on the disk (which you will have), the letter 's' (for slice) and a number (starting from 1). This means that the second primary partition on the first IDE disk will be called wd0s2. For FreeBSD partitions, that is followed by a single later designating the BSD partition within the slice, but is not used for FAT partitions. Note that you *can't* use NTFS partitons in FreeBSD, and that the FAT filesystem is shaky.

Here is the error (named was pid 8781): [root@dalnet ~/bin] 123# kill-named Killed kill: [root@dalnet ~/bin] 124# 8793: No such process It seems to be trying to kill the processes that start as a result of the script too, but I'm not sure why. I tried it without the last 2 lines, same result. If I can just get it to kill the process and then exit cleanly I can restart named with a crontab one minute later than the one that runs the script, but I'd really like to avoid having it down for a full minute if possible.

We are having IBM Aptiva model 2144-s20 with Microdyne ethernet card (I/O address 0x300 & IRQ 5) installed in it. We are having Sun server connected in network. We are trying to connect this IBM Aptiva with Sun machine.There is no IRQ or I/O conflict. We have checked with boot -c option. But we are getting "ifconfig (SIOCGIFFLAGS)" : no such interface" while booting. We don't know how to solve this problem. From the "sockio.h" file we found that "get ifnet flags" is written near the above #define value. Can you please tell us how to solve the problem. In FAG also we didn't find such problem reported.

When I run it from the command Yes, because it's name contains ``named'', too, and awk find it. 1) I found it in AEllen Frisch's Essential System Administration: instead of: .... | grep foo | grep -v grep it would be good: .... | grep '[f]oo' It's cheaper, because it uses only 1 grep process, and 1 pipe, not two of them. (And if you use grep in the original instead of fgrep, the time and memory are ~ same.) 2) Your problem has a much cheaper solution: kill -9 `cat /var/run/named.pid` in your script, or use the systems /usr/sbin/named.restart or /usr/sbin/ndc restart scripts, designed for this problem.

If you have an ATAPI (IDE) drive, make sure it's *not* connected to a sound card, but rather to one of the EIDE controllers that control the hard disk(s) in your machine. In most cases, it works best when the drive is connected as the slave on the primary controller (with your first hard disk). Sometimes it also works as the single device on the secondary controller. You should also make sure the CD is in the drive *before* you boot.

The other problem is my Internal modem. I have tried a GVC28.8 (non PnP) modem on several IO's/IRQ's, and a Supra33.6 (PnP) modem, and it never finds it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Last summer I wrote a Perl script replacement for /etc/security that avoids using "ls" and generates ls-like output using a fixed format. I never got around to testing it (I left my sysadmin job) but I'd be willing to share it with anyone adventureous enough to want to try it... It might just be able to handle filenames with spaces in them, although (since it still uses "find", but that could be coded directly in Perl as well) it may produce some of the same error messages.

Yes, this is a known problem with invoking login from a standard shell. FWIW, I disable this capability by removing the setuid bit since it interferes with our accounting system when this happens. Use su(1) instead. The problem is that login creates a record in /var/log/wtmp, with no matching logout record for your existing login. This isn't a problem normally, since the init->getty->login cycle expects that there is no "current" login. last(1) won't be able to find the logout and therefore thinks you're still logged in and will only 'log you out' when the system next reboots. 'w' doesn't have the same problem only because utmp records for each tty are overwritten according to the tty itself. If these were managed dynamically as they are in some other operating systems, then it may well show up in there as well. FWIW, I would call this a bug in login(1), since it should handle this situation by writing the "logout" record before it handles the new login, and in fact can (and should) detect this situation and act accordingly. Otherwise, it should be installed without setuid which would make running login as anyone but root ineffective (but the possibility is still there to screw this up from the root account, of course, so this fix just relieves the symptoms in most cases, not the cause of the problem itself).

Also changed /etc/host.conf to use nis. I start ypbind with the -s option. I can issue commands such as ypcat and ypmatch -m and it lists all the maps. When I try to login using a yp user and password I get Login incorrect. If I log in as root and su - user I get in, can see all his files in his home directory and the owner/group fields are being picked up from nis. Any ideas? Is there a difference in the format between the bsd and solaris yp passwd file? It seems the problem is purely verifying the password.

I have the same problem on a FreeBSD 2.1.5 Release box connected as a NIS client to a NIS server running Solaris 2.5. When i try to connect to the FreeBSD machine wit h command like "rlogin pchot4 -l pbl", I get "login incorrect". Anyway, to allow login without password problem, your .rhosts file must have the co rrect permissions for each user. I have put some traces on the login process and saw : password given by Solaris NIS server : 2A/buXgRwkWcI password given by FreeBSD local crypt function : $1$2A/buXgR$1.D4PwxPlnv5yI.6wciek. These 2 encoded passwords are definitely not the same. I have to modify the crypt() function in libscrypt to obtain the correct and shorter local password. These modifications are not clean and I wonder why this difference exists between Solaris NIS password encoding and FreeBSD password encoding ??? I don't use kerberos and the crypt() function of libscrypt use md5 encoding. I have another problem with certain hosts names like "tk-06". I cannot execute xterm (can't open display error) when the name of the host contain a '-' character (DISPLAY variable correctly set and 'xhost +' executed). I have to put theses names (20 X terminals) in the /etc/hosts file. It seem that resolution of the hosts names containing a '-' character has some problem at NIS level. Is thi s character a forbiden character ???? I have to investigate for this problem. Do you (or somebody else) have this problem ???

You should reconfigure the card (change jumpers, or run a setup program) and then try again.

Its not uncommon to have to dump and restore the data on a drive when switching between controllers with different translations (this is only neccessary if you need to boot off of the disk or access it via DOS BTW), but the 1540 and 2940 should have the same translation options. The transfer speed should not affect how the data is stored on the media. It sounds to me like the support tech you talked to was either on drugs or figured that by the time you low leveled the drive and restored your data and called back, he'd have gone home already.

No, take what's coming to you like a man :-) I think we need to analyse what we're trying to do here. Whatever our opinion of the relative merits of Linux, FreeBSD and other systems may be, when we try to catch somebody's attention, we use things that will catch his eye, not ours. That was our reason for referring to Linux (in fact, Jack Velte, then of Walnut Creek, wanted to put something much more inflammatory in there, and I suggested this one). The fact is that many of our target "market" know about Linux and don't know about FreeBSD. I thought that the way we put it was completely neutral (so as not to offend militant Linuxists) without implying that FreeBSD was no better, or even worse, than Linux (so as not to offend militant FreeBSD-ists). Sure, people who know both OSs don't need this comparison, but that's neither here nor there.

For http use Apache. For ftp use wu-ftpd. For e-mail the stock sendmail works just fine though you probably want to pick up the latest copy to stay ahead of the bug of the week club.

It's total crap. Ring Adaptec back, get hold of their support supervisor, tell them that one of their reps just blew it (indirectly) in a public mail forum with readers. If you have the rep's name, give them that too. You may have problems with the translated geometry reported by the 2940 and 1542 being different, but if you've managed to get the kernel read in, that's not an issue. > Jonathan M.

I had to do it to put in a bigger HDD for the root drive. I have 2 HDDs, one running / and /var and /swap. The other HDD running /usr I needed to replace the / hdd, as the swap was to small, and the drive need replacing anyway. dump the / filesystem do a straight forward install of a new system onto the / wd0 drive. Ignore the wd1 or second HDD. Dont touch it. When making the filesystems on the / system, that is, /, swap, /var make sure the /dev/wd0xxx are the same as the original. You can add others if you want. I added /u, AFTER the others were created. so essentially the new HDD is set out the same as the old one, with the addition of extra filesystems perhaps. put your tape in the drive do "df > /var/ff.txt" to save the device informaion and names. cd / restore rf /dev/rst0 Ignore the warning messages. vi /etc/fstab and hand add the "extra" new filesystems names to the fstab file. from the information you saved in /var/ff.txt cd /usr ( remember, your original /usr filesystem isn't mounted yet) or it shouldn't be anyway. you'll lose it if it is!) rm -r * will remove everything in this tree reboot and when the system comes back up, it will mount the proper /usr filesystem, and the new ones, completly running your original root filesystem. Works fine..... ps. How come "restore" takes about 10 minutes to complete, and dump takes about an hour or more !!! cheers, BC -- Triple-W: P.O. Box 2003.

Absolute total bullshit!!! Low level formats should ONLY be done when a drive is reporting a MEDIA related failure and doing one at any other time can DESTROY a drive. Infact doing a low level format in anything other than a KNOW GOOD AND PROPERLY FUNCTIONING system is asking to cause MORE problems than it will ever solve. Also Geometries and SCSI bus transfer speeds are totally unrelated, they tech at Adaptec is obviosly clueless. Also the 1540cp and the 2940UW BOTH support the same 2 standard adaptec translations (X/63/255 for >1G, and X/64/32 for <1G). Use pfdisk.exe to dump the partition table on your drive, then set the translation scheme to match. Did the tech have you change the ``Support >1G'' option? If not do that, then call Adaptec tech and tell them what idiots they really are, then send $10.00 to the FreeBSD project for it's support. If you already tried that, send me the output of the following after you put the 1540CP back in and get the system booted: fdisk sd0 disklabel sd0 -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc.

Another symptom was some 'arplookup' errors occasionally on the console. One thing I haven't managed to get to work is netgroups; we have a netgroup representing all the machines in the department and I wanted to put it in /etc/exports but I got a complaint from mountd that 'rsuns was a bad netgroup' - which means it spotted it was a netgroup but didn't like it.

Also, I have a question about the LINT file. Is there any reason why including a version number in the comments in the header of the LINT file would be a bad thing?

This is more tradition than anything. In the BSD disklabel there are lettered slots for partitions. Historically, the layout is as follows: a root b swap c whole disk d whole slice e /var f /usr If you do 'disklabel sd0' at the end you'll see your partition table. This is mine: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 102400 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -25*) b: 204800 102400 swap # (Cyl. 25*-76*) c: 2108673 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -522*) e: 102400 307200 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 76*-101*) f: 1699073 409600 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 101*-522*) It should correspond to this layout. On my disk, d isn't there, but it is used. Don't ask me why there are 8 and I see 5. :) Hope this answers your question.

A plenty of time, the station works in automatic mode without participation of the operator. The problem in following - FreeBSD is installed on HDD which is installed as slave. Accordingly, when I compiled kernel I has established the following option "root config on wd1 ". At load kernel it is required to specify a key "-r", that kernel and the system used second HDD.

BE CAREFUL! They have recently created a new version of the chip on them (-AC I think is the problem) and refirtled the other hardware. I believe this will not work with the drivers presently around. I was going to buy one of these cards until told of this problem. We got a Intel EtherExpress Pro 100B and its presently running fine on 10Mbps and were waiting for our hardware at the other end to try the 100Mbps out.

The system already has Win95 installed and has a 'C:' partition which occupies the first 84% of the physical disk. I deleted the extended DOS partition and logical group that occupied the last 16% of the drive in preparation for the FreeBSD root and swap partitions. I followed the Visual installation process by placing the '/bin' packages into a DOS directory "C:/FREEBSD/BIN", creating a boot/installation disk from the bootstrap programs and then proceeding to follow all instructions for creating a base system (disabling drivers where necessary). The process appear to work up until it was time to place the "/bin" files into the newly created FreeBSD partition. At this point, the Visual installation process informed me that it could not write each block of data onto the partition (write error code -1). What is the problem here?

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Thanks to those who responded to my questions regarding not getting tip to work. I knew it was something obvious and stupid and it was. Even though I looked at the "stty -f " output a dozen times, the significance of it telling me that the port was trying to run at 57600 went right past me. I see the message that it is connecting at 57600 all of the time. The /etc/gettytab and /etc/ttys had nothing to do with it at all, despite the error messages indicating that this was the most likely possibility. In the /etc/rc.serial file there is an entry for "modem( )" and the example also includes a line near the end of the file where the modem port is flagged (I guess that is the way to put it). It is commented out. First I removed the comment "#". I tried it and no luck. Then using one respondants suggestion i went to DOS and set the power up state of the modem so that all echoing is off. Again NO LUCK. Then I notice the 57600 and go into the rc file and change it to 19200, "connected" tip politely reports. 57600 is set in the example file supplied with the software and the modem and computer were just not syncronized. So, for what it is worth, the rule is "The more difficult and puzzling the problem: The more sleep I need before solving it." Thanks again for the input.

I've been unable to determine an explanation for any of it and would like input from anyone with experience in networking. The problem that I am seeing is that if I access my ppp dial up account with JUST the pppd daemon, my nslookups are noticably delayed compared to when I run pppd with the tun0 device configured. When I have tun0 configured in /etc/sysconfig, my nslookups occur almost instantaneously from the time I press the return key. Without tun0 configured in /etc/sysconfig, there is a 5 to 7 second delay (no activity on console or modem) before packets start going out to the 'net' for DNS resolution. It still works, but it's a rather aggravating delay period. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?

I can not make any network connection to the internet, however. If I have ppp -auto running, when I attempt to use the network, there is no attempt by ppp to dial out. My ISP gives me a dynamic IP address, so I have used 0 whereve the IP address is needed. I did see an old post that recommended deleting any routes with a destination of default and creating a new one, but this did not work for me. Also, after a couple of minutes, the route to tun0 is deleted because of a timeout. Any suggestions you can offer me will be greatly appreciated.

I tried a 'ping' and got errors like this: ping: sendto: Permission denied Comparing 'ifconfig -a' output on two FreeBSD systems, I see that the problem system has NOTRAILERS in the flags for its ed1 interface and one that works doesn't have that flag for its ep0 interface. (I don't know what that means) Hmmm...the working system has (in its 'netstat -rn') an entry tying its IP address to the hw ethernet address of its ep0. The non-working system reports it's IP address tied to 127.0.0.1. Could that be the cause of problems or just a symptom? Any suggestions on where to look?

Same everything. Both cards are combo cards. I have not enabled the PCCARD stuff. So what is wrong? The card that works is a 3c589 'C'; the failure is a 'D' that I bought new. Go figure.

I'd let your reseller give you the SCSI-III disk (ultra), but I might think twice about getting the 2940AU vs the 2940. The 2940AU has only 3 SCBs, while the 2940 has 16 SCBs. Even though the 2940AU can do Ultra mode transfers (up to 20 MHz), with only 3 SCBs it isn't going to buy you as much as having 16 SCBs. The FreeBSD aic7xxx driver has a paging algorithm for paging in and out SCBs to/from sequencer RAM. There's some bugs with the paging algorithm right now, but even when it's working there is some overhead involved. I'd see if you could squeeze out a 2940U or 2940UW from your reseller. Both of these controllers have 16 SCBs like the 2940, and they can do Ultra transfers too. To learn more about the paging algorithm, which will allow up to 255 SCBs to be used, see sys/i386/scsi/aic7xxx.c. The aic7xxx author wrote a nice little description about the paging algorithm.
