I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who is experiencing reproducible problems with `fdimage', and would be prepared to spend a few minutes running a debugging version of the program, and send me the output. `Fdimage' was intended to replace `rawrite', which has significant problems of its own; and it would be useful to have a utility that works reliably for everyone. If anyone can assist, please mail me directly, and I'll send an updated version of the program which includes a debugging option.

The system is an Intel 25MHz 80386, Phoenix BIOS version 1.10 04.C1, with 8MB RAM, a WD1007A-WA2 controller, 3.5" floppy, and 2 ESDI drives: a Micropolis 1558-15 and an Imprimis 94166-182, which is now known as a Seagate ST-4182E. Here are the steps that I took which finally led to a successful installation: 1) Configure the hard drives. a. Select 36 Sectors per Track and 512 Bytes per Sector by setting the appropriate jumpers or dip switches on the drive. b. Set both drives to drive address 2. The ESDI command cable in this PC uses has a twist in it to change the last drive on the cable from address 2 to address 1. c. Decide on which drive you want to be Drive 0 (C:), and install the termination resistor. Remove the termination resistor from the other drive. 2) Configure the controller. a. I used the following jumper settings on the WD1007-WA2 (non-default settings are noted): BIOS Address Select W1 1-2 *Note 1 BIOS Address Select W2 2-3 BIOS Shadow RAM W3 No Jumper *Note 2 Floppy Enabled W4 No Jumper Single Spindle Speed W5 No Jumper Floppy Address Select W6 2-3 Floppy Drive Select W7 1-2 WD1007 Mode W8 No Jumper Chassis Ground Disc. W9 No Jumper Input Reg. Unlatched W10 No Jumper Diskette Change Enable W11 Jumper Secondary addr. select W12 No Jumper Floppy Enabled-In Etch W13 Uncut Sector Trans. Enabled W14 Jumper *Note 3 ECC Length Select W15 No Jumper *Note 1: There was a conflict a one point in the installation, which cleared up when I switched the BIOS address. I have not tried switching it back. *Note 2: I felt that FreeBSD doesn't need the Controller BIOS shadowed in RAM since, according to the Handbook, it doesn't use it after booting. *Note 3: According to the Handbook, FreeBSD can't use Sector Translations. 3) Install the drives and controller. Plug the connector at the twisted end of the command cable into Drive 0, the terminated drive. Plug the centre connector into Drive 1. 4) Low-level format. a. Obtain the WDFMT.EXE program. I found it at ftp://shareware.unc.edu/pub/dos/dskutils/wdfmt210.exe. b. Use WDFMT.EXE to low-level format each drive for 35 (not 36!) Sectors per Track and 1:1 Interleave, and with no Alternate Sector or Sector Sparing. I used the following configurations: Micropolis 1558 Imprimis 94166-182 Drive (0/1) 0 1 Cylinders 1224 969 Heads 15 9 Sectors 35 35 Interleave 1 1 Precomp 0 0 Skew 2 2 Alt Sector No No c. Verify each drive. d. Do not enter the Manufacturer Bad Block list. WDFMT.EXE allows only cylinder and head to be entered, so it must be mapping out entire tracks. I left it up to bad144 to find and map out the bad blocks during the FreeBSD installation. e. Do not perform the Surface test. I found that WDFMT.EXE hung after a few seconds. 5) Configure the CMOS drive parameters. The Phoenix BIOS Setup program reserves drive types 48 and 49 for user-defined drive parameters. Set them to the same parameters as the low-level format parameters. I set up the drives as follows: Cyl Hd Pre Lz Sec Hard Disk C: Type 48 1224 15 0 1224 35 Hard Disk D: Type 49 969 9 0 969 35 6) Install FreeBSD. During the FreeBSD installation, when partitioning the drives to allocate disk space for FreeBSD: a. Check that the geometry reported at the top of the screen matches the CMOS drive parameters. b. Create the slice on drive 0 that will contain the root file system so that it resides within the first 1024 cylinders. Since the slice editor doesn't display cylinders, I played it safe by creating a 100MB slice for / and swap, then put the rest of the drive in a second slice for /var and /usr. c. Set Bad Block Scan on each slice! I realize there are probably other configurations that would have worked, but after several false starts I was happy to finally get to the end of the installation and find that the system booted from the hard drive. Thanks to everyone involved in the FreeBSD effort for a such a great product! Regards, ../fam -- Frank A.

I mean, support full modem control, run at full speed (56K) with all ports active, etc. 2) I have a small dial-in user base being serviced with the two com ports and a pair of modems now, and can't envision needing more than 8 ports. Would the Cyclades 8Yo (ISA) do, or should I consider the 8Zo? The box I am dialing into does much more than service remote users, so CPU utilization and number of interrupts are important to me.

Try copying the boot image to a freshly formated floppy. If you are using Windows to format the floppy make sure NOT to do a quick format. The quick format, if I am not misken, just wipes the FAT. What you want is a format that will mark the bad sectors. If the format comes back with any sectors marked bad, try another floppy.

I am using "set device /dev/cuaa0" in my ppp.conf file, if I use anything but cuaa0 I get an modem not found error. sio0 is detected when I boot FreeBSD. 2)I recently recompiled my kernel and sense then whenever I boot it I get the configuration screen, how do I stop it from coming up? 3)I have an SMC EitherEZ card in my computer, I have configured the irq and i/o address, but I have no idea what to put for the memory address, when I leave it on the default the kernel doesn't detect it at boot. 4)I can change my backspace key to backspace by typing "stty erase " when I am at a $ prompt, but whenever I reboot the system, I have to do it again, what file should I put this command in so it is executed at boot always. Also, how should I but it in the file? Using vi whenever I hit the backspace key, it backspaces, even if I haven't run stty yet. when I press the key instead of making a "^H" it just moves the cursor backward. Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

When you get this kind of email expand the headers, most of the from and reply addresses are forged, but the received list should show a good ip address. Do a traceroute to each of the addresses, and send email to root, postmaster, and abuse at each of the addresses.

I have an ensoniq sonundscape VIVO sound card, the CD audio line goes from the CD-ROM to the sound card. I can start and control the audio with cdcontrol, the light on the CD-ROM comes on but there is no audio. I think this is because the audio goes into the soundscape which is not configured. If anybody knows how to fix this I would appreciate any advice.

For end user sites running sendmail the check_rcpt rules at http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/%7Eca/email/check.html will control your outbound mail. If you have questions on these rules let me know, I've been using them for a few months now, they help a lot.

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.

I have a question. Consider a FreeBSD host. Many users want to be able to log into "terminal mode" and to use PPP. How can we do that? The first solution was: to add "ppp" user with the "ppp" password. But... anyone was able to use "ppp/ppp" pair as PAP auth :) Now we use FreeBSD 2.1.5-R with getty from 2.2.1-R (to recognize incoming PPP), but some clients (OS2) do not know how to run PPP without sending login name and password. So, the question is: how to configure the "flexible" PPP server? Maybe, someone solved this?

It frequently takes 10-15 seconds between the "Last login: ..." message until the shell prompt appears. This is a very lightly loaded Pentium Pro-180 with 128 megs of RAM. A nearly identically configured machine does not exhibit this behavior. I've traced this to the initgroups() call in /usr/bin/login but I am not finding anything obvious. A simple ktrace shows nearly identical paths. Both machines are NIS clients to the same NIS server. What would cause one to be much faster than the other? The slow machine seems to have a lot more Ierrors from "netstat -I" (about 1-2%) while the faster machine has zero Ierrors. A simple "ypcat group" and "ypcat group.bygid" on both machines yield similar performance. Any ideas?

You are writing a disk image to it, not a file. It's the total disk space that counts. 512 bytes/sector x 18 sectors/track x 80 tracks/side x 2 sides/disk ---------------- 1,474,560 bytes/disk The disk and the image are the same size so all is well with the world.

My wife and children use Win95 for game playing, quilt design, word processing, aol etc. We've used this configuration for several years (going back to Windows 3.1 and FreeBSD version 2.0 --- when ever that was). My experience has been that FreeBSD (stable) is far more stable than Windows 3.1 and is more stable than Win95. FreeBSD almost never crashes at home (and it never crashes on my portable or my system at work), where as Windows 3.1 crashed daily and it seems Win95 crashes atleast weekly (if not more) for me on my home system (please factor in 2 children ages 7 and 4.5 into the picture). However, almost any flavor of Un*x is harder to use AT FIRST than Win95 (NeXTSTEP is one possible exception, but if you want to develop stuff, the development system is $$$$$$$). Frankly, whether or not any Un*x is for you depends on what you use a computer for and your attitude toward computers in general. If you primarily do a lot of word processing (with out equations) and consider your computer to be an appliance needing about as much attention and adjustment at your toaster, then I recommend you stick with Win95 or move to Windows NT (definitely more stable than Win95) -- there are lots of people to help you with Win95 or Windows NT. Getting help with Un*x can be more of a challenge, but since you know about the freebsd-questions list your already in pretty good shape. If you do scientific word processing or programming or manipulate large numbers of files you will probably prefer some variant of Un*x (your attitude towards computers in general will most likely govern this). Personally, I prefer FreeBSD to the other flavors on Un*x I have tried because FreeBSD is either more stable, more compatible with free software, or faster in some cases. I'm also use to the BSD flavor of Un*x --- I haven't used a System V based system regularly for quite a while. I don't use Linux primarily because of my familiarity with BSD, and because the FreeBSD Team continues to develop and maintain FreeBSD in a structured and timely manner (my sincere thanks to the FreeBSD Team and all contributors). I know I can depend on FreeBSD! If you decide Un*x is the way you want to go, then I highly recommend FreeBSD. Greg Lehey's book "Installing And Running FreeBSD," is very good and helpful in general --- not just the first time you install. The FreeBSD questions mailing list and the FreeBSD archives (see main web page at www.freebsd.org) are very helpful as well. I highly recommend you get some introductory book on Un*x, I'm not sure what's a good book anymore, but since all the O'Reilly & Associates books I've read are good, O'Reilly's "Learning the Unix Operating System" or "Unix in a Nutshell" are probably very good. Once you've used Un*x for a while, I suggest you get Aeleen Frisch's "Essential System Adminstration" from O'Reilly & Associates. A willingness to read and tinker as well as persistence and patience (sometimes a lot of patience) are necessary to make the most of Un*x (actually this is true of computers in general). Anyway, I hope this helps you. Have fun...

If you want to automatically spread the load, then you probably need to get/write some fancier print scheduling software. But if starting print jobs without consideration of current print load is sufficient, any Unix system can do that, and a SysV-based system may even handle the scheduling problem (if you can tolerate the other aspects of the SysV print system). On a SysV system, look into printer classes. Bud Dodson > > Hi. > I am searching for a spooler program that will allow a single computer to > print multiple documents at the same time.

Yes. FreeBSD multiboots just fine. Depending on what boot-manager you use, it might be nescessary to have the FreeBSD root-partition within the first ~500MB of a disk (the root partition don't need to be 500MB in size, but the kernel can only be loaded from something the BIOS can access).

It seems to be impossible to buy any floppy tape except one of the Travan ones here in Toronto. When I do a cold boot with a tape inserted the drive reads and rewinds the tape as soon as the power comes on. Does this seem normal? When I boot BSD it then detects FT0: Unknown tape. Once it detected a Colorado tape but I can't reproduce that condition. When I do a warm boot or a boot without a tape installed it never detects the drive. I changed the fdc0 line in the kernel to add the flags keyword but it didn't help. Any help is appreciated. I am getting discouraged at not being able to backup this system.

See http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ159.html#159 It should cover everything. You should just hook it up to the first serial port.

The total capacity of the disk must also include space for the boot sector and FAT. The floppy images do fit on a 1.44M disk. I used rawrite2, which I downloaded from ftp.debian.org. If you are having problems and have tried a number of new floppies, it may indicate a problem with your machine/drive. Try it on some one else's machine. You should be able to run rawrite2 on any microsoft operating system. With version 2.2.1 the only problem I had with floppies is that I tend to pull the disk out before the machine has finished writing to the disk. Hope this helps ...

I did what the pages said to do, re-compiled the kernel with the driver in it, and it compiled fine, and it recognizes the card when it boots, so I know it is there. Now I am at the stage of making the device nodes, and I follow the steps from the handbook: # cd /dev # for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7;do ./MAKEDEV cuac$i ttyc$i;done When it finishes making the nodes, I have ttyc00 - ttyc0v, ttyc10 - ttyc1v, and so on, up to ttyc70 - ttyc7v. Also the cuac0 does the same. I can't seem to make just the ttyc0 - tyc7. When I enter it into /etc/ttys as ttyc0 "usr/libexec/getty std.38400" unknown on insecure ... ttyc7 "usr/libexec/getty std.38400" unknown on insecure and reload init (kill -1 1), after a short period of time, I get the following errors: getty [8198]: /dev/ttyc0: No such file or directory getty [8201]: /dev/ttyc1: No such file or directory getty [8202]: /dev/ttyc2: No such file or directory getty [8203]: /dev/ttyc3: No such file or directory getty [8204]: /dev/ttyc4: No such file or directory The question I have is this: Since I can't make the ttyc0, should I replace ttyc0 in /etc/ttys with ttyc00 - ttyc07? If not, then how do I make ttyc0 - ttyc7. I am running FreeBSD 2.2.1-Release, and the machine is a 386-DX/33 with 16 Mb of RAM.

I just tried to build 'hylafax' and it griped that the g++ libraries weren't installed, or weren't in a standard place... Well, they are in /usr/lib/libg++.a... Ain't that the standard place? :-) I assume, that it is looking for something that has changed since the 2.1 (or whatever version I have) release, and the message is just coming up wrong... If I reinstall, do I run a chance of losing everything? how much work is it to do it again...

When in sysinstall (from the boot.flp you will have to download) tell it to _only_ use /dev/wd0s2. This is the extended partition where your d: drive currently resides. This will ceate a second "primary partition" (slice in BSD) that can be set bootable so the BIOS will boot FreeBSD instead Win95. Alternatively, you can download BootEasy from /tools/srcs/bteasy. There is a DOS program (BOOTINST.EXE) in that directory that installs a small boot manager. This will allow you to boot FreeBSD or Win95 using F1 and F2 at startup. c u Jo On 28-Apr-97 at 19:29:20 Michael Ebert wrote: >> I have currently got windows 95 installed on my system I have got two >> paartitions c: and d: I was wondering if I could somehow set it up so >it >> is installed on my d: and I get a boot menu?

I.e., they are used for backup purposes because "random access" is slow (tapes have to be rewound after each read!) Disks, however, can be read by repositioning the head to any track on the disk. Tape drives are often connected to floppy drive interfaces, which might have been causing your confusion. The floppy drive controller is only used to transfer the data from the CPU to the drive. Other tape drives are connected to an SCSI bus or to the parallel port. To copy a file from a floppy disk to a hard disk, you need to mount the floppy by mount /dev/fd0 /mnt (provided there is an empty directory /mnt) if the disk has a ufs and is in drive A: Or use mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt if it's a FAT formatted disk. Then you can cd to /mnt and copy files just like you're used to... c u Jo On 29-Apr-97 at 12:23:48 Sergey V. Chemisov wrote: > Good day! > What is a quarter-inch tapes?

My LAN consits of two computers: One runs RedHat Linux 2.0.27, the other runs FreeBSD. The Linux box exports some directories via NFS. The problem is: every time I try to connect to my Linux-box with mount -t nfs hostname:/test, it does mount the volume, but I get the message: Permission denied when I try to access it (e.g. when I do a 'ls'). Another problem I have is that I usually log in as a normal user and then do perform a 'su'. When I try to, I get the message: kerberos:You are not in root's ACL. Am I able to change that? And how? In addition, I'd like to ask if it is possible to use an other terminal type as cons25, perhaps the standard Linux-terminal settings? Maybe you can also tell me how to configure a FreeBSD machine so that it behaves like a normal hard-wired terminal. Thank you for your efforts in helping me!

I managed to find the problem shortly after I sent the question. For the record, it is indeed a PS/2 style bus mouse. I had the psm driver uncommented but had to enable it in the configuration system on startup for some reason. In other words, it was never found since it had always been disabled. After that, the only other thing that needed to be changed was changing the protocol type from Microsoft to PS2 in the xfree86 config file. While I am sure to find the answer to this shortly after asking but what do I need to do in order to not have to enable the device as a separate step after installing a new kernel?

For older stuff that's been stable for a year or so you should be fine. (and there's lots of that) Also, some packages do keep old versions around for a long time, you may want to ask the authors of the packages you've had problems with to consider doing that.

It would probably be worth the while to first see who's responsible for the old Berkeley texts. They are clearly from the UCB, thus should be redistributable. What we'd need were: i) a statement of some official of the UCB that they think this is still valid as it stands there, and ii) a disclaimer from the current copyright holders of the Unix sources that they don't claim any rights on it (to make sure there's nothing inherited from the original UNIX sources in it). The latter is SCO, and i know that they are known for positive reactions for things like this. So the actual problem for both would probably be to find a mail address of someone responsible. If you want to do this, feel free to ask in the name of the FreeBSD Project. > 4) How can I(we) make the scripts an easy file for you to deal with? We should stick to the original way they are done. Maybe, if you're successful for point #1 above, we could even get the original unix learn command source. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) [ /clip here ] Thanks for the nudge :) _______________________________________ |\ /| JEAN CHRETIEN | \ kevin_eliuk@sunshine.net / | | \ Kevin G.

As far as I can see, all that has is griping about the price. What about performance/power/versatility/support/blah, independant of price? I'm trying to convince someone who's been using BSDi for a long time, and is now considering FreeBSD because of the price hike. If I can explain some good examples of why FreeBSD would be better from a technical standpoint, then he will go for it. He is presently a professor here at Westminster, and next year at Goucher, so it could be a plus for FreeBSD in the University category.

I do have a slight problem though. Due to lack of money I can not afford at this time a new HDD, thus I am forced to run on a 120 megabyte HDD. I have a parallel SyQuest EZ-Flyer 235 drive (Removable disk HDD) on this machine and am wondering if you have, or can put me in touch of someone who does have, a driver and or some way of getting support for this device?

The Handbook seems to say that an alternative kernel may be specified at the boot prompt. That seems to work. My question is: What do I have to do at the boot prompt in order to allow me to enter the input described in the man page?

This version is supposed to add high-res video modes and (finally!) mouse support within the game. While older versions of Linux Quake will run under FreeBSD 2.2 (albeit with no sound-- all versions complain about the sound driver being too old), squake crashes before any graphics are shown. It exits with a bus error and compAdded packfile ./id1/pak0.pak (339 files) lains of an unimplemented mode in our emulation. My question is this: has anyone put any effort into modifying the Linux emulation code to be able to support squake, or would anyone be interested in doing so? I for one would like to be able to avoid running Win95 or NT just to play Quake. I don't yet have the skill to attempt such a project myself :( Any input would be appreciated. I've appended the squake program output and the "system requirements" from the readme file. Thanks!

You're on the right track. First download the file from the ports collection. Expand it and type "make fetch". The port will then fetch the source files for you.

It would probably be worth the while to first see who's responsible for the old Berkeley texts. They are clearly from the UCB, thus should be redistributable. What we'd need were: i) a statement of some official of the UCB that they think this is still valid as it stands there, and ii) a disclaimer from the current copyright holders of the Unix sources that they don't claim any rights on it (to make sure there's nothing inherited from the original UNIX sources in it). The latter is SCO, and i know that they are known for positive reactions for things like this. So the actual problem for both would probably be to find a mail address of someone responsible. If you want to do this, feel free to ask in the name of the FreeBSD Project. > 4) How can I(we) make the scripts an easy file for you to deal with? We should stick to the original way they are done.

In any case, you really want to buy from Walnut Creek -- you might be able to find someone to sell you the disks for $5 less, but you will not find a vendor with more of a commitment to FreeBSD's success, nor one who works more closely with the FreeBSD core team.

I have read several posts in the archives, most seem to favor the HP4020 which I think is now out of production. Are there any problems with the newer model of the HP, the 6020? Also are the HP models really just Philips drives in a HP wrapper? Does FreeBSD only support the Philips model? And are the newer models supported such as the 2600 and especially the 3600 CD-Rewritable? Does anyone have any experiences with the rewritable model? A shell script was mentioned in a couple archived messages that had to do with burning cd-roms, is this script still around or is it just a quick compilation of the required mkfs and fs prepping that is necessary to burn a cd-rom filesystem? Are the procedures and this shell script documented in the Handbook or the FAQs? Thanks all for the help...

I tried putting multiple physical interfaces in my machine and ifconfig'ed them both to the same network.

I changed sendmail.cf to use procmail, e.g. Mlocal, P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMrmn, S=10, R=20/40, A=mail -d $u This now checks the quota if the mail is sent from inside the machine, but still writes if the smtp connection comes from the outside world.

They have, for the most part, been fixed in the -stable branch. But I don't think these bugs should prevent your from installing and then rebuilding -stable from source. Check cabling and termination. Boot with verbose (at the boot prompt enter -v) and see what options the driver uses for termination. Are you using auto-termination in SCSI Select Utilities? Try setting low off and high on (I think that's right for your configuration). You also cannot use external devices in that configuration - you're not using any, right? Make sure you have the last device on each SCSI cable properly terminated, too.

Apparently I'm supposed to, as you said, remove the compression. Disabling this feature got it working. Thanks for responding! Actually now I have another question. :) I recently had some problems with getting my Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 board to work. I was able to get it working by turning off PnP from the BIOS. Unfortunately, I think there is something wrong. FreeBSD identifies the ethernet address as: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't seem right. :-) It gave me a warning saying that the EEPROM had 0 as the IRQ. Putting this in the kernel doesn't work. I can ping myself and even telnet to myself after I configure ex0, but it won't see the rest of my LAN. (I have an Amiga running a TCP/IP stack on the other end) So if ping 10.1.1.1, I should get ACKS from the Amiga, but alas that isn't the case. It is days like this that my .sig makes a lot of sense. ;) sri --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sri Ramkrishna /|\ Unix is very user friendly, its just very picky email: sri@aracnet.com -|- on who it is friendly to. -- Unknown? phone: 503-645-4868 \|/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 30 21:05:41 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA06169 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 30 Apr 1997 21:05:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from strech.cyber-naut.com (strech.cyber-naut.com [192.41.77.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA06164 for ; Wed, 30 Apr 1997 21:05:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from blair@localhost) by strech.cyber-naut.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA09283 for questions@freebsd.org; Wed, 30 Apr 1997 22:08:13 -0600 (MDT) Date: Wed, 30 Apr 1997 22:08:13 -0600 (MDT) From: Blair Schmittel Message-Id: <199705010408.WAA09283@strech.cyber-naut.com> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: DEC 21140A Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a Kingston EtherRx 10/100 PCI ethernet card (DEC 21140A chipset).

That panic is not related to the mbuf clusters problem. The kmem_map full panic indicates that the kernel has run out of malloc space. The standard default size is 32MB.

Stuff like FTPs which saturate your modem can introduce very high latencies (3 seconds) which will cause your session to hang. Personally I'd like to see that option disabled by default. :) Adrian From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 1 05:08:46 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA20496 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 1 May 1997 05:08:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA20470 for ; Thu, 1 May 1997 05:08:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by who.cdrom.com (8.8.5/8.6.11) with ESMTP id AAA10237 for ; Thu, 1 May 1997 00:36:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.8.5/8.6.12) id KAA14499; Thu, 1 May 1997 10:33:24 +0300 (IDT) X-Authentication-Warning: gatekeeper.barcode.co.il: smap set sender to using -f Received: from localhost.barcode.co.il(127.0.0.1) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il via smap (V1.3) id sma014495; Thu May 1 10:33:13 1997 Message-ID: <33684772.A74@barcode.co.il> Date: Thu, 01 May 1997 10:34:10 +0300 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Gabriel Sîrbu CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD Installation References: <3367FC8B.7D7BECE6@eng.hokudai.ac.jp> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Gabriel Sîrbu wrote: > > Dear Sirs, > > I bought the book "The complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey (two CD-s > included). > I was surprised to find that is not "complete" at all... from the > beginning there are few incompatibilities like this one: > On page 38 of this book is mentioned that if I am using an IDE CD-ROM > drive I should copy the file Floppies/atapi.flp instead of > Floppies/boot.flp.

Having two FreeBSD slices on the same hard disk is a bit of a problem because only one of them can be bootable, and by murphy's law, if you delete your Win95 partition and put a FreeBSD slice instead, it will render your old FreeBSD slice unbootable. I'd suggest backing up and reinstalling FreeBSD to take the whole disk. You may also try to create a FreeBSD slice instead of the Win95 slice, and if it doesn't boot, install FreeBSD into that slice, and then modifying it to use everything but the root filesystem from the second slice, but I'd rate that as dangerous at best.

Now I have another problem. (FreeBSD is making me work to get my set up working I swear) I've been working on this but still haven't gotten this to work at all. Here is my problem: I'm trying to see the IP address 10.1.1.2 which is an Amiga connected by twisted pair to thicknet to the Amiga. Under windows 95, I'm able to ping the Amiga and the Amiga can ping my PC.(a nice rosy picture of machines pinging each other happily) This establishes the fact that the ethernet board is working and the line is clean between the two. (ie one end isn't unplugged in or something) Under FreeBSD, the packets does not even leave the computer. My /etc/hosts file contains: 10.1.1.2 sri sri.bharat.net 10.1.1.1 sima sima.bharat.net My /etc/sysconfig file has configured the network interfaces like so: hostname is set to sima.bharat.net network_interfaces="lo0 ex0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_ex0="10.1.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00" routed,gated and similiar daemons have been turned off. Now as far as I understand, the driver for Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 does not support Multicasting. The Win95 driver does, thats the only difference I can think of. Does the fact that multicasting doesn't exist in the driver effect anything? On the Amiga side, I'm using just a plain TCP/IP stack, I've ifconfig'd the driver for 10.1.1.2 with the hostname set to sri.bharat.net. I can't think of anything else at this moment that would help. I think packets are just not going across the wire. What might be interesting is if I set the Amiga side to promiscious mode and see if it grabs any packets. I'm running FreeBSD 2.2, on a PPro 150Hz.. Thanks for any help!

Now when I enter term mode I can type a command such as ATDT 5 and the modem will respond, but whatever I type never appears on the screen, the modem's response never appears either. I can tell it's listening because if I type ATDT number the modem dials the number. Basically the problem is that nothing appears on the term screen.

Has anyone had any luck in getting one of these things to work? I've tried turning PnP mode off and then diddling with the settings. When I do that, I can get FreeBSD to recognize the card, but when it goes to use it, I get 'ed0: timed out' errors. I believe this means there might be a conflict. However, there is no conflict that I can find. Any setting suggestions, etc, would be most grateful. ...Mike... -- Mike Digdon # Systems Development # InfoInterActive Inc.

If I use pine on the same system, it bounces back just fine. But if I connect from the outside or use "sendmail accountname < mailtext" it goes right through.

You are aware that you can not mix versions fo sendmail and bind and changes in versions of FreeBSD networking structures, right? You must rebuild (a *matched*!) sendmail and bind if you update past a structure change. If you replace sendmail (or bind), you must generally replace bind (or sendmail) at the same time.

No Problem. However, when trying to log in NONE of my users passwords worked!? I had to re-install, reset the root password, log in to the new system, delete and re add the users. I installed from a dos partition with a boot floppy. Seems that the install program needs to have a password maintenance function that is independant of actual install. (I could not just pop in the floppy and reset the password - had to step through an install) What did I miss? Otherwise, super work! Back up and running my full network with very little trouble!

It takes forever to do anything. On any invocation of sendmail, it freezes for up to several minutes. It does eventually complete whatever task it is executing, but the delay is painful at best. mailq doesn't reveal anything wrong, although as with sendmail it takes several minutes to happen. I can supply additional information; at this stage I'm just not sure what would be useful and what wouldn't be. Any help will of course be greatly appreciated.

I'd expect something like a single line of: | 11.2.125.199.in-addr.arpa name = webserver.id.net I'd also expect, on a forward lookup, something like: | > www001.id.net | www001.id.net canonical name = webserver.id.net instead of a huge amount of cruft. The cruft won't really hurt (probably), but it's indicative of no logical seperation of SOA and namedb records. THEN I'd expect the huge amount of cruft for the CNAME record for a forward on "webserver.id.net". Probably the lack of a "cannonical name" (CNAME) record is why it's failing to find the cannonical name.

I installed a 520 meg quantum fireball harddrive(ide) but the bios does not have any user configurable geometry settings, nor any preset ones above 262 megabytes. Freebsd 2.2.1 detects the drive fine, installs with no problem except that it cannot boot. The freebsd boot manager actually runs, except it cannot bootstrap the OS. It just sits there "F?"... I was wondering if there was a boot manager that does not check the bios parameters when attempting to boot an os. Freebsd is using the entire drive. I tried putting a small DOS partition at the beginning of the drive, and playing around with the geometry settings in the label editor but that didnt work either. I even tried system commander 3.0, a commercial product which unfortunately requires to exist on a dos partition. Can anyone think of what I might be able to do to bootstrap the OS? I wouldnt mind booting from floppy. Thanks in advance for any help.

Check out what Virtual Net Productions has to offer: We will provide a Live Stripshow with chat for your website starting at only $500 per month and NEVER more than $1600.00 a month!! (read on for details) The $500 rate is based on 744 hours (The amount of hours in a month for 1 person). - Additional hours beyond 744 will be rated at 60 cents per hour. You may or may not use additional hours depending on the amount of traffic you receive on your website. I can tell you that we have had our stream on over 100 different websites for the past year and only the top 10 sites exceeded 700 hours for any given month, so for the majority of adult websites our stream will never cost more than $500 per month. But what if you do use more? No problem cause we are capping the stream at $1600! You will never pay over $1600 no matter how many hours you use. And we are throwing in chat at no additional cost! So just to recap, get our stream on your website for $500 - no setup fees, you are paid in advance for the month for only $500. Then if you use more than 744 hours you pay .60 cents per hour up until you reach $1600, then you pay no more, and chat is included! Our stream has been used reliably on sites like Cybererotica, Sexmuseum and Newd.com just to name a few. Don't waste your money with untried services that can't match our quality or reliability, not to mention our prices! But don't take my word for it, see our girls in action for yourself.

I'm using bind, and it did suddenly start doing this slowdown. One thing I should probably point out is that it SEEMED to coincide with me manually deleting a file from /var/spool/mqueue to fix a mail loop, but this may be coincidental. What kind of DNS problems should I look for? AFAIK things are working properly, but it is relatively complex, so there is room for error.

I recently removed the card and dropped it into a newly constructed 2.2.1 system. I used the exact same configuration from the 2.1.0 system: controller snd0 device gus0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 12 drq 1 flags 0x3 vector gusintr [I've also tried it without the flags]. The 2.2.1 system sees the card: gus0 at 0x220 irq 12 drq 1 flags 0x3 on isa gus0: [Where's the CS4231?] PCM device 2 not installed. I don't understand what the "Where's the CS4231?" means; I don't recall seeing it in the 2.1 system. Also The "PCM" line comes immediately after the "gus0" lines; dunno if they are related... Anyway I tried catting some .au files to the /dev/audio0 device; the device is configured as lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 Apr 22 18:17 /dev/audio@ -> audio0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 4 Jan 12 19:25 /dev/audio0 the data appears to be flowing to the device, but nothing comes out the speakers. Any clues? I've done the archive search thing but didn't find anything... Much obliged, Mike PS - A REALLY nice feature to add to the archive search utility would be to bring stuff back with the latest messages first, and even better would be to have common subjects grouped...

I labeled all files with a suffix, but somehow the problem got to my original also. I now don't have a good sysconfig file to load 2.2.1-R with. I didn't see anything about unmounting a modem, but at times I have shut it off (its external). Could this be the culprit? I do make sure that ppp is closed and "quit" before doing anything else. I don't know what else I do that would leave something "open" or unterminated.

If you're into mucking about with C then here are my ideas: 1) turn on the debug stuff in the ft.c code to see what is happening. 2) change the probe code so that it thinks it detects a colorado drive every time. 3) see if that is any better. If the above works then it's probably just the probe code that needs to be changed. Email me back personally if you need assistance. At least we're trying things. You never know.

In the case where you wish to boot off an alternate drive, it should also be noted that you still need to install a boot manager on the FIRST drive! Even if you do not intend to create a FreeBSD partition on that drive (e.g. it's being wholly used by something else), the boot manager still needs to reside on the first disk in order to function as a "redirector" for the boot process. To do this, simply select your 1st drive in the drive selection menu and when the partition editor comes up, don't make any changes - just (Q)uit. At the boot manager menu which follows, select the first option (install a boot manager) and then proceed to setup the other drive(s) for FreeBSD as normal." clipped from /stand/help/drives.hlp.gz On Fri, 2 May 1997, Phill Clarke wrote: > Being very new to FreeBSD and Unix in general I have what may be a > farely obvious question. > > I have installed FreeBSD on a second hardrive, using the whole disk, > with no DOS partition.

My concern was sendmail, so I hacked out the logging for now (ugly). Should go back later and look things over. Didn't like 600K of pertinent logging, but a total log of over 20Mb at one point. Only httpd should listen on the bound IPs for the virtual hosts. Nothing else. Either add inverse or hack the code. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Thu May 1 22:39:56 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA14477 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 1 May 1997 22:39:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mixcom.mixcom.com (mixcom.mixcom.com [198.137.186.100]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id WAA14472 for ; Thu, 1 May 1997 22:39:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: by mixcom.mixcom.com (8.6.12/2.2) id AAA14699; Fri, 2 May 1997 00:40:42 -0500 Received: from p75.mixcom.com(198.137.186.25) by mixcom.mixcom.com via smap (V1.3) id sma014638; Fri May 2 00:40:15 1997 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970502004015.00b163f4@mixcom.com> X-Sender: sysop@mixcom.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Fri, 02 May 1997 00:40:15 -0500 To: Terry Lambert From: "Jeffrey J.

That's not the problem. If you look at the output of df, you'll see that the root partition has no slice number (mine is wd0a for example). The root partition is taken to be the first partition on the *first* BSD slice on the disk you booted from. If that's not truely your root partition, FreeBSD will not boot. That's why it might be possible, but you may have to reinstall at least the root partition on the new slice too.

I've had less than good luck getting it to work in FreeBSD-2.2.1-RELEASE, I've Activated the device worm0 line in the kernel , as I will show you... and I've changed burncd.sh to "Supposidly" work with the PHILIPS CDD2000 , but I have the CDD2600 and there may be some imcompatability.. i don't know. I can read from this cd-r drive fine, but not Burn anything at all ( isn't technology wonderfull ? :) , Is worm0 Supposed to show up in the dmesg if its active and functioning properly ? , Because it isn't listed in the dmesg when I boot, and Wnenever I try and Burn a CD from an image file ( with burncd.sh ) , OR run wormcontrol with any argument I get.. wormcontrol: open(/dev/rworm0): Device not configured This is the line I have added in the Kernel config file.. device worm0 at scbus? here is a small Snip from my dmesg.. ahc0 rev 1 int a irq 9 on pci0:18 ahc0: Using left over BIOS settings ahc0 aic7850 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 3SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahc0:4:0): "PHILIPS CDD2600 1.07" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ahc0:0:4:0): CD-ROM cd present [300989 x 2048 byte records] Note: /dev/worm0 and /dev/rworm0 do exist. Well , Thats about all I can think of , People have tried to help me with no success ;( Some say That the 2600 just isn't Supported and I'm dead in the water , some say its a bug in freebsd , some say that my kernel config is wrong. I've given up hope of me getting this to work , So I decided to post a mail to here ;) I love FreeBSD as an OS , and its Performed Perfectly , and its been compatable with all my hardware..Except my cd-r drive ( if you call this imcompatability ) , Excpet for this slight "Incident" I would have classify FreeBSD's performance, stability and Ease of use as Excellant. All help is Greatly appreciated , I can be reached at Brick@dal.net , or as Brick on DALnet.. in #freebsd ( where else would I be ? ) Thank you in advance, Jim Davis From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 2 01:34:07 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id BAA20310 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 2 May 1997 01:34:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from theta.pair.com (theta.pair.com [207.86.128.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA20304 for ; Fri, 2 May 1997 01:34:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from adam.netsonic.com (gb_noc81.sparknet.net [207.250.20.81]) by theta.pair.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id EAA20098 for ; Fri, 2 May 1997 04:30:30 -0400 (EDT) X-Envelope-To: Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970502033913.0069cdf4@mail.netsonic.com> X-Sender: adam@mail.netsonic.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Fri, 02 May 1997 03:39:15 -0500 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: "Adam L.

I don't know if it was added to the ports collection before 2.1.5 - 2.1.5 is Ancient. Presently it lies in net/isc-dhcp. If it isn't there for 2.1.5, you should use CVSup to upgrade your ports collection, and download by hand /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.{mk,subdir.mk} and the latest make. Then you can keep up with the latest ports even on ancient systems; if you CVSup more than just the ports collection, you can even drop the 'ancient' part :-) Read the handbook for details. Eivind.

What would worry me is the power requirements, at around twice that of the nearest equivalent Intel part. This means more stress on the power supply and motherboard, and for that matter the higher ambient temperature in your box might not exactly be welcome news to your other components. AFAIK, motherboards supporting the 75MHz clock required by the Cx686-200 are still pretty thin on the ground. At least one MB that does support this seems to have reliability problems of it's own - check out the Supermicro newsgroup if you have news access. In short, you might want to ask yourself what is more important to you, speed or stability. If you decide on the latter, I'd personally opt for an AMD K5 running on a GigaByte 586HX motherboard. This combination is rock solid and still pretty quick. If you really need more speed and funds allow, consider Pentium Pro. > 2940 Adaptec SCSI controller There have been several reports on this list of driver problems with this board.

I'm starting a small ISP operation in the next couple of weeks and I'm looking for a box that will hold up without any extensive babysitting. I've created a "beta box" on a p100 w/32mb RAM, EIDE 2GB HD (Seagate), IDE CD ROM (Some generic cheapo hitachi), 3com 10/100 NIC. So far the only problem I have with this setup is the network interface seems to dissappear on occasion. I currently have a bandaid on this problem with a periodic ping setup from the console to keep the interface "up" I obviously plan on finding the culprit and fixing it permanently. But that is why I'm turning to this list. I do not have extensive Unix experience, and virtually none w/FreeBSD. I chose it because of price and user/support reputation. I was plannning on using a P166 with intel PCI MB, 64Mb Ram, 4 Gb SCSI drive (Hawk or Baracuda), Adaptec 2940w, and 3Com NIC. Any suggestions or experience based opinions would be greatly appreciated. ---------- Patrick Burm Commercial Lithographers Mesa, AZ 602.844.2294 patb@commlitho.com From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 2 09:45:24 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA09722 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 2 May 1997 09:45:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE [137.226.116.240]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA09713 for ; Fri, 2 May 1997 09:45:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de (gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de [137.226.31.2]) by Campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (RBI-Z-5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id SAA26902; Fri, 2 May 1997 18:46:08 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from kuku@localhost) by gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de (8.8.5/8.6.9) id TAA00586; Fri, 2 May 1997 19:01:54 +0200 (MET DST) Message-ID: <19970502190152.02146@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Date: Fri, 2 May 1997 19:01:52 +0200 From: Christoph Kukulies To: Tim Oneil Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: xterm fun References: <3.0.32.19970502080903.00951370@visigenic.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.69e In-Reply-To: <3.0.32.19970502080903.00951370@visigenic.com>; from Tim Oneil on Fri, May 02, 1997 at 08:09:04AM -0700 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, May 02, 1997 at 08:09:04AM -0700, Tim Oneil wrote: > Hi kids.

No, this is because the bind code was modified to require an explicit initialization call, and everything that uses it (including sendmail) has to make this call. If you are upgrading from a much older version of FreeBSD to a newer one, this is a possible problem. Because I don't trust this to not happen again, I personally keep my bind and sendmail code in sync at all times. As far as the structure changes, they apply to the structures passed down to ifconfig and in general interface control structures. These are imported into bind and sendmail by inclusion of BSD header files when they compiled on BSD. If you upgrade from one version of BSD to another, and these structures changed between the revisions, you will not be able to use your old binaries, since they were compiled with the old header files.

The driver for the 3Com cards has a somewhat checkered history, although the general lack of questions about them over the past several months would seem to indicate that the stability is now pretty good. I've seen several postings to the effect that 3Com no longer sets any kind of quality standard in ethernet cards. I wouldn't trust a business to one. Depending your subscriber base, 64Mb of ram may be rate limiting. There is a mailing list for ISP providers based on FreeBSD, I think. See http://www.freebsd.org for info. -- M. L.

I've just dug out the invoice for my oldest Fujitsu SCSI unit: It was purchased and installed in November 1993 and has been 100% reliable ever since. Another two are both just under 2 years old and have also given no trouble. The most recent pair have only just been installed, so we'll see how they do...

One thing the that the AMD has over the Cyrix is that it is, apparently, recognized as a I586 rather than the I486. I'm hoping the kernel guys are addressing that, if possible.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, I've done a lot of checking on my setup, and I think it might be a problem with the EtherExpress driver ex0. Let me tell you why I think it's the driver. I'm done everything but look at every packet that comes through the network. (which I can't seem to get working, tcpdump tells me that bfd0 is not configured even though I have compiled it into the kernel..whats teh deal with bfd0?) I have a working 2 computer LAN set up, where one end is an Amiga running a A2065 CBM ethernet board and the other a Ppro150 running my EtherExpress Pro board. The only odd thing about this set up is that the PC has a twisted pair, while the Amiga has a Thicknet AUI connector. I use a 10BASE-T transceiver to convert twisted pair to thicknet. This setup works. Under the FreeBSD setup, things are not so hot. After ifconfiging ex0 with a netmask of 255.0.0.0 (the same one that windows 95 uses) and binding it to the ip address 10.1.1.1, arp was able to tell me what my MAC address was. However, when I try to ping 10.1.1.2 which is the Amiga, I get "Host is down" style of message. So it recognizes the network, just that the machine is ignoring my packets. So I use arp -a to determine what the MAC address of my Amiga ethernet card is. It can't determine it. Saying it was incomplete. I also get some strange routes in my netstat -nr. For instance one route I get is: 10 link#2 UC 0 0 - - 10.1.1.1 UHLW 1 26 lo0 Why is it using lo0? I don't understand also why it has 10 instead of 10.1.1.2. I'm able to get arp to tell me what my MAC address of my Amiga from Win95, but not from FreeBSD. Also my Amiga things the MAC address of my EtherExpress board is something different than what FreeBSD things it is. I even tried finding out what the MAC address of my amiga is through win95 and using that number on FreeBSD via arp. (ie arp -s ) What more is there to do??? Anyways, I'm in a world of confusion. Basically, packets are being sent down the wire and both computers are ignoring them. This is a two computer LAN, the simplest setup you can ever have. There should be zero problems with routing. Yet I find odd routing tables, arp not able to determine the other computer's ethernet address. I know other people have gotten other cards working. This points to the driver I think. I won't know for sure till I can get tcpdump working. I would like to hear from other people who have an Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 board who have gotten their system working on a LAN. I can't believe it's my Amiga since it can talk to Win95 just fine. My computer is PPRO 150 Mhz, with 32 Megs of memory, 2gig IDE ram, and a CDROM as an IDE slave. I don't think it matters what the other computer is. Thanks for any help. I've done an exhaustive amount of work looking at my set up, going through mail archives, the handbook, man pages, books. This is truly the last place I can seek help.

All I get is 'read error'. System specs: DEC Venturis FX-5133 16MB, fd Adaptec AHA-2940AU (Ultra) (DOS translation >1GB enabled) Seagate SCSI ST31055N (supposedly Ultra) Phillips SCSI 4Plex CD-ROM (Internal) FreeBSD 2.2.1 Walnut Creek CD-ROM I have tried various installs on this, from accepting the default geometry, changing the geometry per FAQ/Handbook, doing true partioning and also leaving it as compatable partitions, and finally a low level format of the SCSI disk, default recomended geometry, and dedicating the whole disk to FreeBSD. (Currently Utra speed is enabled, I've tried disable too). I can boot from the hard disk only if I boot from floppy, and then specify 0:sd(0,a)/kernel at the 'Boot' prompt. Then the system then functions and operates normally. After reading through other postings here, I have seen and tried these to install the bootstrap code onto the HD after up and running: # disklabel -B sd0 (no luck in the next reboot) and # disklabel -B /dev/rsd0a (no luck either) Ugh! Please, any comments from anyone having go through this? I have installed FreeBSD 2.1.5 on about 4 machines upto this point with out any hitches. Here's a kicker too: In this same machine I have tried using the AHA-2940 (Fast SCSI-2) and Seagate ST31051N (Fast SCSI-2) installing one time FreeBSD 2.1.5, booting and getting 'read error'. Then since this setup didn't work, I tried installing FreeBSD 2.2.1 using this same controller and hard disk. Same problem: read error. But both work if you boot off the floppy first! I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Allow DOS format to choose the cluster size. (Having the default cluster size is always good: that way, if DOS/Win itself becomes confused, it won't chop your filesystem into small little pieces. :-) The 2.2 msdosfs is no longer "cluster size sensitive", though; so a reformat is not absolutely required. The msdosfs is reasonably safe for copying files DOS<->BSD. But stay away from anything much more than that (eg. moving directories can cause problems). -- Robert Nordier From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 2 16:06:39 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA29009 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 2 May 1997 16:06:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: from blue.bad.bris.ac.uk (blue.bad.bris.ac.uk [137.222.132.60]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id QAA29004 for ; Fri, 2 May 1997 16:06:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: (qmail 20655 invoked by uid 57242); 2 May 1997 23:08:52 -0000 Date: Sat, 3 May 1997 00:08:51 +0100 (BST) From: Aled Treharne Reply-To: felix@royal.net To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: re: Kernel compile errors...

I'd suggest backing up/restoring in DOS, though that may be over cautious. I have a GNU tar for DOS, which seems to work very well.

When it arrived, I tore open the box and installed 2.2.1 over 2.2. The installation went flawlessly, as usual (for me anyway). After rebuilding the kernel, I decided to check out some of the packages. Initially, sysinstall refused to mount the cdrom drive, but after a few tries it did mount. I was able to install some of the packages, but only one at a time. After installing one package and going for another I got this error: matcd0: Illegal data mode for this track while reading block xxxxxxx OK, so I used pkg_add and tried to install manually. Same problem. Also, if I tried to install a package with dependencies on other packages, the first package would install, and then it would bomb out with the above error, when pkg_add went for the next file. I'm using a Matshushita CR563 CDROM drive attached to a SB16 card. I never had problems reading other cdroms. This problem is also occurring with the live file system CD that was sent along with the install CD. Anyone have a similar problem? Is my drive hosed? Is there a problem with the matcd driver? ____ | _ \ | |_) |_ __ _ _ __ _ _ __ | _ <| '__| | | |/ _` | '_ \ ====================== | |_) | | | |_| | (_| | | | | = Powered by FreeBSD = |____/|_| \__, |\__,_|_| |_| ====================== __/ | |___/ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri May 2 23:19:51 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA15230 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 2 May 1997 23:19:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ballast.dorm.umd.edu (ballast.dorm.umd.edu [129.2.150.14]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA15221 for ; Fri, 2 May 1997 23:19:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (root@localhost) by ballast.dorm.umd.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id CAA01525 for ; Sat, 3 May 1997 02:22:49 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sat, 3 May 1997 02:22:47 -0400 (EDT) From: System Administrator To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: XWindows setup Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We're just setting up XWin on a 2.2.1-RELEASE machine.

All error messages complain about broken stuff in /usr/src. This includes the compilation errors as well, since /usr/include/machine is sysmlinked to /usr/src/sys/i386/include. So why don't you try to reinstall the source with /stand/sysinstall? Running fsck(8) before that might be a good idea.

Yes, it is possible to use the Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux (I guess this is the program you meant) in conjunction with the Linux emulator that FreeBSD 2.2 comes with. I use the reader now for some weeks without any problem. FreeBSD 2.1 offers such an emulation as well, but I don't know how if it works well enough to run the Reader, so should try it with a 2.2 system if you can. There is a section in the handbook on how to install the linux emulation and the Acrobat Reader is part of the ports collection (look under /usr/ports/print/acroread), so the installation shouldn't be a great deal. If you still have problems installing everything correctly, I can give more detailed information that hopefully will help you. -- Sascha Blank - mailto:blank@fox.uni-trier.de Student and System Administrator at the University of Trier, Germany Finger my account to receive my Public PGP key I don't speak for my employers, they don't pay me enough for that.

Since most of what I heard was from friends in network, I can't say except for the one we had - M2694ESA - and it was too hot to touch with an open case and decent airflow.

Have you tried setting the disk to (some lame BIOS size), use either of the DOS utilities ide_conf.exe or pfdisk.exe to get the real BIOS geometry, and tell FreeBSD about this, adding extra cylinders to get the entire disk? Other than that, have you tried using 'dangerously dedicated mode', NOT being compatible with another OS? The ?? is a part of the compatibility layer; it should go away if you drop compatibility.

Try adding 'set openmode active' to your ppp.conf; this will tell your system to begin the PPP conversation without waiting for the other end. The default in command-line PPP is to wait for the system you are calling to start the 'LCP negotiation' phase. > my ISP is called > Terra-link.com and it runs on Microsoft NT..would that make a difference > that it is win NT and not a unix system?.. thanks It shouldn't, many others have managed to connect via PPP to NT servers. Microsoft does have a few weird ideas about how PPP should work, but for the most part it is a reasonable PPP implementation. If your ISP uses CHAP authentication and the special Microsoft encryption algorithm you may have problems. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I'm using ghostscript and apsfilter to print postscript on my Epson Stylus 300, which I bought a couple of years ago for $99. In my opinion, this is the best $99 postscript printer you can buy! ;^) At 300x300 dpi, or 360x360 dpi on the Epsons, the postscript output is quite readable, but not what you would call beatiful.

I'm assuming you want to read using popclient and put it into the mail queue, delivered to a single address. Try: If you want all of your pop mail to go into the queue, try: popclient -c | formail -s sendmail address@to.deliver.to or something akin to the following, which is much safer--it can even recover from pilot error (like accidentally deleting an important message): -------cut--------- #!/bin/sh if [ -f pop.mail.box.2 ] ; then mv -f pop.mail.box.2 pop.mail.box.3 ; fi if [ -f pop.mail.box.1 ] ; then mv -f pop.mail.box.1 pop.mail.box.2 ; fi if [ -f pop.mail.box.0 ] ; then mv -f pop.mail.box.0 pop.mail.box.1 ; fi if [ -f pop.mail.box ] ; then cp -pf pop.mail.box pop.mail.box.0 fi popclient -o pop.mail.box formail -s sendmail address@to.deliver.to < pop.mail.box -----cut end----------- NOTE: I didn't test the above, I just cut and edited from /etc/daily or the like. The basic idea is to use popclient to deliver to a file, then formail the file instead of stdin, and to make backups. The former is much less useful without the latter. 2. If you want to go from procmail into the queue (even though this could produce loops, which procmail may or may not handle), try: ----cut------------ :0:/tmp/.maillock-other * ^To.*hoover * ^To.*leland |/usr/sbin/sendmail address@to.deliver.to -----cut end---- #1 appears to work, at least for _local_ deliveries on my machine, but I haven't tested it extensively. Please be careful when testing; you could theoretically try to redeliver every piece of mail you get through popclient this way, which may endlessly anger any mailing list which suffers at your hands. :) #2 should work, but I haven't tested it. Since I really don't use my mail queue for anything in the first place (I get my mail through pop and send it directly to procmail), I don't have a use for it. On the other hand, I do the same thing to deliver mail (like mailing lists) to rpost so that i can read mailing lists in nn and slrn. Someone else (who I cannot recall at the moment) was asking about how to use procmail with popclient directly. The way to do this is to use one of tthe above formulae, but with procmail substituted for sendmail, e.g.: popclient -c | formail -s procmail or, the safer: -------cut--------- #!/bin/sh if [ -f pop.mail.box.2 ] ; then mv -f pop.mail.box.2 pop.mail.box.3 ; fi if [ -f pop.mail.box.1 ] ; then mv -f pop.mail.box.1 pop.mail.box.2 ; fi if [ -f pop.mail..box.0 ] ; then mv -f pop.mail.box.0 pop.mail.box.1 ; fi if [ -f pop.mail.box ] ; then cp -pf pop.mail.box pop.mail.box.0 fi popclient -o pop.mail.box formail -s procmail < pop.mail.box -----cut end----------- Again, it's untested. Note that the cp -pf could be replaced by mv , as far as I can see. Hope this helps. My personal usage is to deliver via popclient into a file with 8 backups, similar to above, then use formail to pipe this file into procmail, which delivers to boxes and to programs (specifically a wrapper to rpost). >Thanks >Annelise From owner-freebsd-questions Sat May 3 12:57:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA12182 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 3 May 1997 12:57:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bitbox.follo.net (bitbox.follo.net [194.198.43.36]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA12174 for ; Sat, 3 May 1997 12:57:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from eivind@localhost) by bitbox.follo.net (8.7.6/8.7.3) id VAA00632; Sat, 3 May 1997 21:57:26 +0200 (MET DST) Date: Sat, 3 May 1997 21:57:26 +0200 (MET DST) Message-Id: <199705031957.VAA00632@bitbox.follo.net> From: Eivind Eklund To: Chris Brown CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-reply-to: Chris Brown's message of 03 May 97 13:45:09 -0500 Subject: Re: Finding documentation for FreeBSD.

Device files will not be created automatically by a kernel supporting the corresponding driver -- instead they are either made during installation of FreeBSD or have to be made with the shell script /dev/MAKEDEV. This script provides some documentation about the device files as well. It seems that a block device like wt0 are not supported by this driver. You have to use raw devices like rwt0, rwt0a, rwt0b ... depending on the capacity and density of your tape. There are device nodes like nrwt0 ... . I do not know, when you have to use which. > So, I thought I needed a custom kernal. That failed as below. I > also tried MAKEDEV wt0. No errors, but didn't see the device. Did > see rwt0. Can I write to this? How? Yes, use e. g. tar -cxf /dev/rwt0 / to backup the root partition.

Catch 22 is a novel by (I think) Joseph Heller about a US Airman in WW2--he tried to get out of the airforce by claiming insanity, but the medics told him that anyone who wanted out of the airforce was, by definition, sane. He could only be insane if he wanted to stay in the service. He ends up dying after being shot down in Italy. The book is sometimes funny, but is really a tragedy. Worth reading. Again, thanks for help--I think I have enought to go on now.

Someone in another group said that even though I told it to install the des stuff, it would only install the libraries, and not actually set up to use des in the passwd files. If not, anyone out there doing this type of setup and if so what did you do to make it work? I essentially am going to use the freebsd box as a secondary radius server (since a second bsdi license is quite expensive) From owner-freebsd-questions Sat May 3 23:03:58 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA11160 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 3 May 1997 23:03:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from eac.iafrica.com (196-31-98-187.iafrica.com [196.31.98.187]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA11149 for ; Sat, 3 May 1997 23:03:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from rnordier@localhost) by eac.iafrica.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) id IAA03310; Sun, 4 May 1997 08:00:08 +0200 (SAT) From: Robert Nordier Message-Id: <199705040600.IAA03310@eac.iafrica.com> Subject: Re: FAT32 In-Reply-To: <2.2.32.19970503075743.00716398@esus.cs.montana.edu> from Justin Ashworth at "May 3, 97 01:57:43 am" To: ashworth@esus.cs.montana.edu (Justin Ashworth) Date: Sun, 4 May 1997 08:00:08 +0200 (SAT) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL31 (25)] 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 Justin Ashworth wrote: > I have the option to install the FAT32 version of Windows 95 on my computer. > Can I mount and read a FAT32 partition in FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP? No. You'll have to stick to DOS-compatible partitions for now. -- Robert Nordier
