Yes? gateway_enable="YES" in rc.conf, and in the TCP/IP configuration of the clients, have the default router set to the FreeBSD box, 192.168.2.1 for your new room. It might actually be easier to do this using DHCP. The Macs I've set up interoperate very well with ISC dhcpd 1.0.0. > And the easy way I do it is with "route", yes? No need.

I think that this is extremely outdated, but i'm sure that it will suffice for now. I'm having some serious problems getting it installed, and I'd really appreciate all the help you can provide me with. I have read all the help files, and documentation and have found no answer. Firstly, what i would like to do: I would like to create a partion of my current 'D' drive (6 gig) of 500M for FreeBSD. D is currently unbootable, so I'd like to use your BootMenu feature. Now, here is my *large* problem. My CD Rom (which uses the TEAC_CDI.SYS driver) isn't recognised in DOS mode. However, i am currently in the process of using MSCDEX to make it work. I'm worried that I won't be able to use the CDROM with FreeBSD. Also, while attempting to create a partion (through the installation menu) I must have done something wrong, like deleted a partion, and now Windows wont recognize my D drive. Can I restore this somehow? If not, just help me to install FreeBSD from the CD. I discovered, too late, that i could have installed it directly off my hard disk by copying the FreeBSD files. I'd need my 6 gig hard disk to do this. I would seriously appreciate absolutely ANY help you can give. I'd really like to get this working. Also, can you tell me what new releases of FreeBSD are available? I'm currently in a remote part of the world, The United Arab Emirates, so I probably have to mail order... Could you tell me of any companies which offer such services. Lastly, I'd just like to inquire about FreeBSD 2.0.5's functionality as a workstation machine- as in, no network.

I partioned it with the fdisk in the freebsad install with a 80 Meg partition at the end for my swap and the rest of the 1.6 gig hard drive as root at the beginning of the disk. I get through the install but when I try to boot the system it eventually hangs and says cannot mount root. It says changing root device to wd2a cannot mount root. On fdisk my root partition is wd3s1a. Can anyone help me out?

I think that this is extremely outdated, but i'm sure that it will suffice for now. I'm having some serious problems getting it installed, and I'd really appreciate all the help you can provide me with. I have read all the help files, and documentation and have found no answer. Firstly, what i would like to do: I would like to create a partion of my current 'D' drive (6 gig) of 500M for FreeBSD. D is currently unbootable, so I'd like to use your BootMenu feature. Now, here is my *large* problem. My CD Rom (which uses the TEAC_CDI.SYS driver) isn't recognised in DOS mode. However, i am currently in the process of using MSCDEX to make it work. I'm worried that I won't be able to use the CDROM with FreeBSD. Also, while attempting to create a partion (through the installation menu) I must have done something wrong, like deleted a partion, and now Windows wont recognize my D drive. Can I restore this somehow? If not, just help me to install FreeBSD from the CD. I discovered, too late, that i could have installed it directly off my hard disk by copying the FreeBSD files. I'd need my 6 gig hard disk to do this. I would seriously appreciate absolutely ANY help you can give. I'd really like to get this working. Also, can you tell me what new releases of FreeBSD are available? I'm currently in a remote part of the world, The United Arab Emirates, so I probably have to mail order... Could you tell me of any companies which offer such services. Lastly, I'd just like to inquire about FreeBSD 2.0.5's functionality as a workstation machine- as in, no network.

You > either boot up in dos or FreeBSD but you can't read across partitions. Well it depends upon whether or not the dos partition is a primary partition or an extended partition. For a primary partition (ie C:) just mount it as an msdos file system then you can quite merrily use 'cp' to copy either way of course the file naming conventions for MSDOS apply if you go from UNIX to MSDOS. To mount the DOS partition you need a mountpoint (I created a directory /dos) then issue the following command :- mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s1 /dos The above is s SCSI drive so change the device to whatever yours is. If you need the facility on a fairly regular basis then add the following to the file '/etc/fstab' and it will be done automatically when you boot up. #Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/sd0s1 /dos msdos rw 0 0 Malcolm G.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi there! I have downloaded and constructed a FREEBSD disk maker, made a disk and started to install FREEBSD on one of my machines. I get all the way through the installation, but when it comes to accessing the freebsd.org FTP site, it cannot conenct - it seems to hang up when adding default route. Does FREEBSD need rights to program a CISCO router? We don't have access to our router, as it is property of UUNET PIPEX. I have also tried to download the freebsd 2.2.5 release section of your ftp site and made a local ftp server here using WARFTP and tried to access like that. This works fine, apart from it can't seem to see some of the directory structure! Could you tell me how I should construct the dir's and where I should have files located please. Could you also tell me how much disk space I would need. Your answers are much appreciated. Congratulations on such a great project - I have been looking to use UNIX for quite a while - this seems an excellent opportunity to indulge!!

My question, how do I go about installing FreeBSD OS on a completely separate disk (i.e. one not having to share it with another OS). The literature seems only to show how to partition it with some other drive. Also fdisk (dos) tells me that I can only set my C drive as the active partition.

I think you have your CD rom as mastr on second IDE controller. Just change it to slave and the HD in question to master. There will be no harm to your DOS, Win95 and NT installations. The CD drive will still work fine. Anoter topic: you will have to install another boot manager - it is provided in the FBSD CD disk 1, and it is called osbsx.exe; It is located at X:\tools you canb use the so called "osbsBETA", wich works fine, w/o any bugs for me. When you run those files they will give you instructions on how to perform installation. It is pretty simple and clean. One tip: Win95/DOS have to be in THE FIRST phisical disk in order to boot. It is an MS Unique feature (sorry for the sarcasm). WinNT will work fine in the 2nd disk, if this is the case, IF it was installed there at first. Never tried to boot NT from 3rd disk (any talers for this ???) The regular boot manager installed by FBSD will not be able to handle the boot of a third disk. when installing FBSD, instruct it NOT to install a boot manager. Install osbsX latter, aftyer installing Free. I hope it helps. At 08:42 PM 2/27/98 -0500, you wrote: >Hi, >I am trying to install freebsd on my Third hard drive. It is the secondary >slave.

Doing a little investigation, I found quite a few references on the mailing list archives, but never a complete explanation of how to get rid of the messages, or of why they should be so common. I looked into the code, and found that calcru is usually merely reporting an out-of-range value returned by a routine called "microtime()", which is an assembly-language routine. Looking into microtime.s, I see a test early on in the code of the form #if defined(I596_CPU) || defined(I686_CPU) which apparently causes an alternate method to be used to read the raw timer value when the compile-time variables I585_CPU or I686_CPU are set. Now, in the GENERIC kernel configuration file, I found these lines: cpu "I386_CPU" cpu "I486_CPU" cpu "I586_CPU" cpu "I686_CPU" So all of the bases are covered, CPU-typewise. I assume, without actually looking it up, that this means that the compile-time variables matching the "cpu" lines are all defined when the kernel pieces are compiled; therefore, the alternative method of reading the timer will always be chosen, regardless of the actual CPU type. Now, I am running the GENERIC fbsd kernel on a bunch of machines in our lab which are based on 386SX, 386DX, and 486SX and DX CPUs, so it seems to me that it is at least possible that the alternate timer access routine might be causing trouble here; in any case, it seems illogical that there could be a compile-time test in the microtime() routine--either the non-586/868 code should be removed, or the test should be on a runtime CPU-type variable. I propose that if (defined(I386_CPU) || defined(I486_CPU)) && (defined(I586_CPU) || defined(I686_CPU)) then a test on the runtime cputype variable be performed (I am assuming that there actually *is* one accessible to the microtime() function). Perhaps this will fix the "negative time" error message; in any case, it will make the microtime() function more correct. -Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 1 12:49:03 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA00385 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 1 Mar 1998 12:49:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from whoweb.com (secureguard.net [208.144.211.150]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA00352 for ; Sun, 1 Mar 1998 12:48:31 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jon@whoweb.com) Received: (from root@localhost) by whoweb.com (8.8.8/8.8.6) id PAA27362 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Sun, 1 Mar 1998 15:46:08 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 1 Mar 1998 15:46:08 -0500 (EST) From: Jonathan Wallace Message-Id: <199803012046.PAA27362@whoweb.com> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ftp login problems Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > Since the upgrade, I am unable to use ftp to log into NEW > user accounts that I create.

However I would like to be able to dialup my IP, connect via PPP and then use IRC, FTP and TINTIN directly from my FreeBSD. The only part I am missing here is the dialup part.. I was looking through my ports and I came across DIP.. I did the MAKE INSTALL and it looks like it installed correctly, however I can not figure out how to start it up. I tried "dip" and "DIP".. just keeps telling me it doesnt exist. First off... is DIP the program I even want to use for my dialup? Second... where does it put itself so that I can add it to my path? Any help here is much appreciated. Thanx, Cliff P.S. One other quick question.. whenever I MAKE INSTALL a port.. after it is done, it always comes back and says something like "is already installed", it looks like it is trying to do it 2x.. any idea why?

(etc, for the third time). This isn't a way to get your question answered. One copy of your message would be enough. The subject line on your first message was fine, as was the content. Send it three times, though, especially with subject lines like this and you'll just annoy people, which means that they're more likely to delete it unanswered. In addition, this subject line guarantees that many people will delete it unread. You can't expect an answer to any message immediately, though it may happen. Most people who answer messages on this list have a certain rhythm. For example, they sleep during the night or the morning. Doug White does most of his work in a two-hour session late in his evening. I saw your first message and didn't delete it. It's 8 am here, and I am going through a night's worth of mail. If I answer your message, it'll be later in the day, but by then somebody else might have done it.

I believe there is something similar on sunsite in the Linux "HOWTO's". You might try asking the Linux group, because I know many have taken that approach. I have to give Win NT credit where credit is due, It's got a weird but good bootloader.

I can't help you with fixing the microtime code, but if it's any consolation you've correctly identified the cause of the calcru problem. I see this whenever the boot probe picks up an incorrect value for the frequency of my cpu. I've been meaning to write about this, so if anyone is actually interested in the problem, let me know. :) In the short term, you can fix your machines by commenting out the cpu definitions you don't need and recompiling your kernels.

I'd be very surprised if Wine ran any of these applications to your satisfaction. You may want to look into getting Wabi to run under FreeBSD. Caldera sells an x86 version of Wabi for Linux ($200 or so) and since Wabi runs in userland, it may work under the Linux emulator. I've seen Wabi run, and its emulation is far better than Wine's. On the other hand, Wine is a much better system.. that is, it's interaction with X is preferrable to Wabi's. If they had the same emulation abilities, I'd prefer Wine over Wabi. But if you really need to run Win 3.1 software, Wabi is probably your best bet. Michael J.

Not so. The record is on the disk in special directory entries; the file system simply needs to know how to read them! It's not hard to do, and the details of the scheme are not secret. >Don't alter THEFIL~1 while in FreeBSD, >because windows isn't good about handling such errors (it assumes that >nothing else will access the file system, I guess...). Actually, all that will happen is that the long version of the name may be invalidated, in which case Windows 95 will see the file as having its short name only. This *can* be a problem, though, if a program is relying upon seeing the long file name. Again, it's not hard to keep the short and long names in sync! The name-mangling scheme is documented, as is the scheme for storing long names. I'd be glad to help whoever is hacking this code to implement the relevant extensions. >(p.s. it would be nice if you could get a mail client that puts line >breaks every 60 columns so mail doesn't appear as one long line for some >of us... ;)...) More and more, applications are shifting from the "line-oriented" paradigm (in which lines are explicitly terminated by line breaks) to the "paragraph-oriented" paradigm (in which text flows to the end of the paragraph unless hard line breaks are included). The latter paradigm is part of HTML as well as most GUI wordprocessors, and is incorporated into most e-mail programs. Any e-mail client should be able to wrap long "lines" if necessary. What are you using to read your mail? If it doesn't know how to handle the paragraph-oriented paradigm, it'd probably be a good idea to fix it! Netscape, Eudora, AOL, and the many Web-based e-mail services aren't going to go back to line-oriented text, so we should write tools that recognize and handle the equally valid paragraph-oriented model. --Brett Glass P.S. -- I've *tried* to force Eudora to insert hard returns into this message, but don't know if it'll work.

Have you tried Ctl-Alt-F2 to get to a new tty? That should at least give you a usable system till the next time you actually need to reboot.

Yours sounds like it might be an old proprietary drive; I can't recall what 2.0.5 supported offhand, but 2.1.5 didn't support any Teac drives, so you're probably out of luck. > Also, while attempting to create a partion (through the installation > menu) I must have done something wrong, like deleted a partion, and > now Windows wont recognize my D drive.

IIRC you'll have to do this from a primary partition with 2.0.5. I understand that Microsoft can't handle more than one primary partition, so you could be out of luck there, too. You could try a minimal installtion first from the primary Microsoft partition, and then load more and more once you get the system up. > I would seriously appreciate absolutely ANY help you can > give.

No. This probably because your Win95 uses FAT32 (the newer file system). BootEasy cannot identify it (it won't even say Win95 if it was FAT16. In this case it would say DOS). Except for the label it should work fine, though. > > thanks > > /oliver > Nadav To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 2 00:07:27 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA01657 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 00:07:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA01646 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 00:07:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from nadav@barcode.co.il) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.8.7/8.8.7) id JAA23535; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 09:53:42 +0200 (IST) (envelope-from nadav@barcode.co.il) 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 (V2.0) id xma023533; Mon, 2 Mar 98 09:53:29 +0200 Message-ID: <34FA6897.711D@barcode.co.il> Date: Mon, 02 Mar 1998 10:06:47 +0200 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.6 sun4u) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor]" CC: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Getting STABLE via ftp doesn't work References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] wrote: > > The Handbook describes that ftp.freebsd.org sends out compressed tar > files of directory trees.

This feature was disabled because it taxed the machine too heavily. I think you have the following options (didn't use them all myself, so YMMV): 1. Get src.tar (it tars even though it does not compress). 2. Find a mirror that does compression. 3. Get the src distribution from releng22.freebsd.org. This machine builds a -stable snapshot daily, so you'll be at most a single day behind. > > -- > Cheers =8-} Mike > Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla > Hope this helps, Nadav To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 2 00:23:58 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA03410 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 00:23:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ggsn.ntc.nokia.com (ggsn.ntc.nokia.com [131.228.32.41]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA03405 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 00:23:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jussi-pekka.sairanen@ntc.nokia.com) Received: from ntc.nokia.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ggsn.ntc.nokia.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA11514 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 10:13:50 GMT (envelope-from jussi-pekka.sairanen@ntc.nokia.com) Message-ID: <34FA865D.B46C7253@ntc.nokia.com> Date: Mon, 02 Mar 1998 10:13:49 +0000 From: Jussi-Pekka Sairanen Organization: Nokia Telecommunications X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: error in making a release Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Thanks for a great system, I've had a great time playing with it! One problem there is, however: I have a machine with 512MB of memory. To be able to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 I had to remove most of the memory SIMMs and recompile the kernel without bounce buffer support. Then I wanted to create a release of my own for backup purposes so I looked up the FreeBSD handbook and followed the instructions. Alas, the making of the release fails with the following: cd /usr/src/include/../sys/i386/include; install -C -o bin -g bin -m 444 *.h /home/ggsnDist/usr/include/machine ===> include/rpcsvc install -C -o bin -g bin -m 444 /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/ypclnt.h /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/bootparam_prot.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/klm_prot.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/mount.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/nfs_prot.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/nlm_prot.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/rex.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/rnusers.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/rquota.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/rwall.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/sm_inter.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/spray.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/yppasswd.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/yp.x /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/ypxfrd.x klm_prot.h mount.h nfs_prot.h nlm_prot.h rex.h rnusers.h rquota.h rstat.h rwall.h sm_inter.h spray.h yppasswd.h yp.h ypxfrd.h /home/ggsnDist/usr/include/rpcsvc install: klm_prot.h: No such file or directory *** Error code 71 Did I overlook something?

Here are some more alternatives you may wish to consider: 1. There is Executor, which emulates the Macintosh, instead. The Linux version seems to work on FreeBSD. For graphics applications, at least, the Mac may be a preferable platform to Windows 3.1 . I believe Executor only runs 680x0 Mac code, and not PPC Mac code, but I don't know for sure. Try http://www.ardi.com/ for more info. I took a quick look there, and both Photoshop and Pagemaker are Yellow, which means (I think) that they don't work completely well... 2. There is the GIMP, which is a GPLed graphics editor. It's designed, AFAICT, to be a Photoshop clone, so you might want to take a look at it and see if it meets your needs for Photoshop. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 2 02:13:48 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA17096 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 02:13:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from dt050ndd.san.rr.com (dougdougdougdoug@dt050ndd.san.rr.com [204.210.31.221]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id CAA17090 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 02:13:44 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Studded@dal.net) Received: from localhost (dougdougdougdoug@localhost) by dt050ndd.san.rr.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id KAA11247 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 10:13:43 GMT (envelope-from Studded@dal.net) Date: Mon, 2 Mar 1998 02:13:43 -0800 (PST) From: Studded X-Sender: dougdougdougdoug@dt050ndd.san.rr.com To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: 980301 in FreeBSD, partial success (fwd) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Here's what I sent to comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine in case anyone's interested: This version is going a little better than the last in the sense that I can restart it after it crashes, but it's got numerous incompatabilities with FreeBSD.

My experiences are as follows: -stable: the stock driver doesn't work, but the driver listed at www.3am-software.com does work _if_ I specify the media manually. -current: the stock driver doesn't complain about anything but doesn't work. ifconfig says: de0: flags=8c43 mtu 1500 inet 131.155.146.107 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 131.155.146.255 ether 00:80:5a:15:e6:9b media: 10baseT/UTP status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 10base2/BNC 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP (OACTIVE looks suspicious to me here.) Using this driver I can only ping the local interface, nothing else. The 3am-software driver gives all kinds of (non-trivial to fix) compilation errors on -current and hence I am unable to build a kernel containing it.

If you want to resolve IP-addresses or DNS-names of hosts (connected to the Internet and) registered with Inter-NIC AND you have or could get connected to the Internet (probably through a provider), then you need an extern nameserver. Otherwise (in the case you just want to be able to resolve the names of the machines in your lan and nothing else) you don't need an extern nameserver and it is best you rename /etc/resolv.conf to something like /etc/resolv.conf.virgin AND don't forget to disable the named in /etc/sysconfig >>5.

My standard umask is 027 (for various reasons) however I like to keep my source files with 644 permissions so that I can read them without being root. However, each time I run cvsup I noticed that is setting the permissions back to match my umask. I am wondering if there is some way to specify the desired behavior in the supfile? The preserve keyword doesn't seem to be what I want. I could do this with a wrapper script of course, but I'm hoping that I am missing something obvious. :) Thanks, Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 5,328 clients and still growing. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 2 05:45:51 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id FAA15021 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 05:45:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from vs1.virtualisys.com ([207.137.172.173]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id FAA15013 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 05:45:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from randyk@ccsales.com) Received: from ntrkcasa (pool41.hiper.net [207.137.172.41]) by vs1.virtualisys.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id FAA05751 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 05:44:47 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19980302054428.0380b100@ccsales.com> X-Sender: randyk@ccsales.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Mon, 02 Mar 1998 05:44:28 -0800 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG From: "Randy A.

I also have a 2.2.2 cd rom. I am running ms-dos 6.0, and windows 3.1 so far. I have booted with a bare bones dos disk. executed the 2.2.2 cd-rom instal program, and proceded to instal. in that session I deleted the dos partition 'F' created a bsd slice in its place. then I set it as bootable. when I went on to install xf86, the install progy had trouble finding it, I got a lot of errors, I switched CD's and attempted to let the install program find the files... this seemd to taint the install process, so I eventually had to quit.. getting the feeling that a full install didnt occur. the next time I installed, my partition info hadn't changed, I had to reset the mount points... I selected a non-x distribution... this time, there were no hitches, until I needed to select packages from the packages directory... about 75% of the packages couldn't be found on the CD... mostly error 1, and a few error 2's... I examined my disks later they seem damaged (btw they are the walnut creek CD's from a book I bought). I see physical wear on the CD's so, this is the first night they were removed from their book jacket. In anycase, after all of my good packages are installed I add a basic user account and then set the root password. I return to the menu that I saw at the begining of this process. I exit out of the install program. now, when I reboot with my floppy disk (either with or without my cd in its cd rom drive) I go back to the install screen.. as if I am installing all over again. I can never seem to get to my fbsd... at the boot promt: I believe I have tried 1:wd(1,a) and 1:wd(1,a)/kernel and a few variations on it... I cannot boot to fbsd, I allwasy return to the install menu. because I seem stonewalled by that problem, I tried something else... I have 2.2.5 on disk, I would prefer to install that version but when I go into the instal progy, and basically reset all my old options... what partion is the bsd slice etc... at the menu where you are asked to choose the instalation method, I select "install from dos partition" and I get this error: "no dos primary partition found, this installation method is not available" I cannot seem to avoid this. I am using my 2.2.5 boot disk because I cant make one with 2.2.2 I get read errors, or 'bad exe' I Think my 2.2.2 cd rom is damaged. I would just like to be able to do the install from my dos partition... but everytime I get to the "select install media" screen... and I chose dos, I get the error I listed above. any Ideas? one last thing. I have an older machine and as you know it is subject to bios limitations, however I am running ez-drive disk controler. which writes (as I understand it) its start up code in the boot sector. I fear that if I make any changes to the boot sector (allow bsd to make boot sector changes), ez drive wont load, and then I will be totaly blind. I.E. system comander wipes me out for just that reason, so will win95. that is why I am so insistant on booting from a floppy. maybe ez-drive has something to do with the failure of the fbsd install to see my dos partition... ez-drive loads prior to me booting from any floppy dos & fbsd alike. thank you for your time (I know thats a big letter) I would be greatful for any help. thank you -Patrick Mucci To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 2 06:57:02 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA24020 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 06:57:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from public.hbpta.hb.cn ([202.103.17.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id GAA24014 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 06:56:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from wl@public.hbpta.hb.cn) Received: from public.hbpta.hb.cn (ppp1.wh.hb.cn [202.103.1.1]) by public.hbpta.hb.cn (SMI-8.6/8.6.11) with ESMTP id WAA16391 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 22:46:25 +0800 Message-ID: <34FB38D7.7164BAD5@public.hbpta.hb.cn> Date: Mon, 02 Mar 1998 22:55:19 +0000 From: wang long Reply-To: wl@public.hbpta.hb.cn Organization: hbmtb X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: How can I set up FreeBSD mirror sites?

It seems they are making moves throughout the state system to get on Pentium class machines in a hurry. (No doubt to support the MS bloatware). Anyway, they are selling off these older machines for about $5 each. I expect to take delivery of about 20-40 machines, and am looking for a way to breath some new life into them using FreeBSD. Is there an easily deployable mechanism in FreeBSD which would allow me to any/all of the following: 1) Maintain one central server (dual pentium) with full FreeBSD source. 2) Allow the smaller machines to boot their operating system from the central server utilizing perhaps only a floppy drive. 3) Provision the machines so that they rely upon the mass processing abilities of their neighbors to complete tasks. 4) Where applicable share drive space across an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet connection. 5) Allow remote users to login via telnet or ssh to the central server and have the ability to harness the full processing ability of the array.

Richard Stevens Prentice Hall PTR ISBN: 0-13-490012-X http://www.kohala.com/~rstevens What you are trying to do is called an "Iterative Server". An iterative TCP server processes each client's request completely before moving on to the next client. The kernel will queue any client requests that arrive while another client is being processed. The number of clients the kernel will queue is passed as a parameter in the listen() command, do a "man listen". If there are no clients to be processed, the accept command blocks. If you want to be able to process multiple clients at the same time, then you will have to fork() or pthread_create() to spawn a child or thread to process the client request. This way the parent can go back to listening for more client requests. See the man page for select() for implementing a non-blocking accept(). But servers that process one client at a time are very susceptible to Denial-Of-Service attacks. Also, non-blocking connects are different across UNIXes and your code will not be very portable.

This should not be much of a problem either. I have not personally used FreeBSD in this fashion, but I have set up Linux this way, and I'd imagine what Linux can do in this area, FreeBSD can do as well. You can easily mount your /usr via NFS. Root NFS is a little weird, but it isn't too difficult. At the very least, a floppy or ram disk could be your root and /etc and stuff could be mounted from an nfs drive somewhere. > 3) Provision the machines so that they rely upon the mass processing > abilities of their neighbors to complete tasks. Yes and no. The short and quick answer is no. You can't run the machines in parallel to complete tasks like a shell script or even to play doom or quake. The long answer is that you can use PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) to create a virtual machine for parallel execution of tasks over the network. These tasks, however, would need to be compiled especially for PVM and would need to use PVM's libs for stuff. > 4) Where applicable share drive space across an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet > connection.

This goes hand in hand with the question of PVM. Again, the short answer is no. The long answer, if you are going to write your own code is absolutably. On the other hand.. if you are a fairly good programmer you could set up a system like this: have all drives shared via NFS. Use rsh or ssh (I'd use the later) to run commands on remote machines, ie ssh host1 mathematica & would fork mathematica to your X display. Now, in your situation with 40 or so machines, you wouldn't want to have to remember which machines are under what load. It should be possible to develop an interface to the network (it could probably even be a hack to a standard Unix shell) that would find out what physical drive the program you want to launch is located on and contact that host. It could then check the load average for the machine, if it is under some N percentage, that machine would launch it, else the interface tries another machine. Properly implemented, this would give you the ability to just type "mathematica" into your modified bash (or whatever) and then the system could/would launch it on the machine that would give the best performance. The code wouldn't exactly be trivial however. It would require a good bit of network oriented code, and probably a tiny bit of systems programming as well. Good stuff though. If I ever had 4 or 5 machines that I could play with like that, I'd try to get it working. Michael J.

I also sat up all night reading it. My hard drive shows 329mega bytes of free space. Using fips I created a second partion from my ms-dos partion. It showed 33mega bytes created for second partion. I used fdisk and option #4 to view my partions and my second partion(the one I just created) it seems to show at least 225 mega bytes. Booting from floppy disk that I created with ftp downloading boot and the boot image. My boot came up just like documention said it would and when just fine untill. I got to freebsd\'s partion editor. I attempted to create a freebsd from my unused partion disk space. I could only get 1megabyte of space. When I got to lable to create /user and my root directory ect.. I do not have enough space to create what I needed. My question is I started with 329 mega bytes of free space starting with fips. fips says it will create as much free space as possible on my second partion. Do you have any useful suggestions for me that can help me finish installing this. I have windows95 and a 486dx cpu with a 1.2geg hard drive.

The only tape drives that work reliably with FreeBSD is SCSI, and even then here are variation. See section 10 in the Handbook; it details some (older) drives but modern ancestors of those drives should be OK.

Did you set the mouse options in /etc/rc.conf? If you did, your mouse device is /dev/sysmouse, type Mouse Systems. If not, it's device /dev/psm0, type PS/2.

I was wondering if FreeBSD has > DHCP support or how I can deal with this? Thanks for your help. Just about any "add-on" feature that you can imagine is available through the FreeBSD ports collection. :) I use and highly recommend the ISC dhcp client, specifically /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp2. Like most unix things the configuration can be a trial, but once it's up and running it works extremely well. If you need dhcp to set your machine's hostname please feel free to mail me privately and I'll send you the patch I have to the dhclient-script to do this. If you need it, more information about the ports collection is available at http://www.freebsd.org. You may find it most convenient to put the command to start the dhcp client as the first line in /etc/rc.network. Alternatively, you can put it in /etc/rc.local and start services that don't work properly till after the interface is configured (like xntpd and sendmail) in rc.local after xntpd instead of using the configuration in /etc/rc.conf for those items.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We're running several PPro200's with freebsd-current 2.2.2. So far these boxes are in development, not end use. The load on the system is next to nothing. The hardware was purchased brand new about a month ago. Motherboard: ASUS KN97-X Chipset: Triton Intel 440FX PCIset All the boxes are using Seagate ST32272N SCSI hardrives, the scsi controller is an adaptec 2940. At any rate, someone used the "reboot" command to reboot the one server and it came back up with a "Insert System Disk" prompt. I.e. the boot sector was hosed, the superblock toast, or the BSD disklabel was gone. Today, on another machine, someone was logged in and ran the "df" command, at which point the machine rebooted and when it came back up the superblock was hosed and we had to run fsck manually in single-user mode. All this alarms me. It's is my first project using freeBSD and I'm not used to seeing superblocks get wasted for no good reason. I'm guessing there has to be something we can do, a la recompile the kernel with customized options, etc. Looking through the mailing list archives the closest symptoms I can find were references to setting BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET in the kernel. I think this might be what we're looking for. Anyone have any info regarding this or similar experiences? thx in advance, markjr --- Mark Jeftovic aka: mark jeff or vic, stunt pope. markjr@shmOOze.net http://www.shmOOze.net/~markjr PWC's BOFH http://www.PrivateWorld.com irc: L-bOMb Keep `em Guessing To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 2 14:05:14 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA26807 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 14:05:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from srvr3.provide.net (root@srvr3.provide.net [207.206.116.35]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA26666 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 14:04:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jazz@provide.net) Received: from james (usr16-01.provide.net [207.206.120.193]) by srvr3.provide.net (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA09826 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 17:07:41 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199803022207.RAA09826@srvr3.provide.net> From: "Banjo" To: Subject: Developing an Operating System Date: Mon, 2 Mar 1998 17:02:09 -0500 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear FreeBSD, I'm interested in developing an operating system.

I have a slightly newbiesh question..

I have the following problem.  I am trying to setup Freebsd
2.2.5-RELEASE to allow several win 95 machines access to the internet.
My
connection to the internet is  a cablemodem / static IP address.

Current Situation:

My ROGERS connection is as follows:  IP(static) 24.112.49.160

Netmask:255.255.248.0

Gateway:24.112.48.1
                                                            Domain
ROGERS.WAVE.CA
                                                            DNS:
24.112.32.2

I have this setup on the de0 interface in the BSD box.  It runs fine, I
can ftp, ping etc fine.

On the le0 interface i configured it as follows:  IP:192.168.0.1
                                                            netmask
255.255.255.0

On the BSD box gateway = "YES"
In the /etc hosts file it has the following machines
192.168.0.x (for every machines)
24.112.48.1
24.112.32.2

So the BSD box can ping all the other local win95 machines. and the
local win95 machines can ping BOTH cards in the BSD box.

ALL other options are for a default install.

Each win95 machine is configured as follows:  IP 192.168.0.x
                                                            netmask
255.255.255.0
                                                            gateway
192.168.0.1


Now the problem is, as far as the win95 machines go, I cannot get out to
the internet.  I can ftp to and
from the BSD machine, but I cannot see the internet, either by name or
IP.

The question...

What am I doing wrong? Or do you need more info?  I did not include the
netstat -r but can if you need that information.

I will send your answer (if it works) to the FAQ and HANDBOOK so that it

doesnt have to be answered again in your name.  Thanks.

You need to configure your FreeBSD box as a firewall.
Recompile the kernel and add

options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT

to the kernel config first.

Then reboot

after the reboot, add 

natd          6668/divert  # Network Address Translation socket 

to /etc/services.

Then run

/sbin/ipfw -f flush
/sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via 
/sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any

Then you should be able to run natd -interface 
and have it work.

You should probably check out the natd(8) and ipfw(8) manpages.

Let me know if this works,

Michael

In case they are real tabs, the second one looks out of place.
It will make xenub@boisfrancs.qc.ca a comment instead of part of the
fax command.  I think Alain wants a space between the $1 and xenub

Well, the first question would be to explain what the problem is.
Sure, like many programs, Netscape performs DNS lookups.  How else do
you expect it to resolve URLs?  What's the problem?

Thanks for your reply. Before I got your message I solved my problem by
changing the cdrom to slave and the hard drive to master.

Has anyone installed PGCC on FreeBSD and performed a "make world"?  I

Hello,

I just installed a second disk in a machine, and while I was at it I
thought I'd setup a redundant root partition on it and make it bootable
so I can have a backup if the primary disk becomes unbootable.

The primary disk is IDE (wd0), while the new disk is SCSI (sd0). I
have created a small partition on sd0a and copied /kernel, /stand,
/bin, /etc, /tmp and /sbin into it. (I can mount the partitions on
sd0 without problems.)

I can boot by manually typing 1:sd(0,a)kernel from the `boot:' prompt,
but the machine seems to stop at the line `changing root device to sd0'
(it gets through the device detection and such up to that point).

I haven't built a special kernel for the second disk or anything, and
was wondering if maybe the line `config kernel root on wd0a' in my
kernel config might be causing a problem?

Anyways, I guess I was wondering what `officially' I have to do to
setup a second boot/root disk on a machine (what directories need
to be copied, what kernel options need to be set?).

Thanks in advance for your help, please email me directly.

	It seems to me that you're well on your way. You'd have to make
arrangements to locally mount directories like /usr from the IDE drive,
but those details are trivial once you've got the basics down. I did
something similar when I moved my stuff from the old IDE drive to the
new SCSI drive. I can't give you a step by step because your goals are
different, but you are definitely on the right track. 

Good luck,

Doug

Sorry, definitely not!!!  Minix might be a reasonable choice?

Well, I haven't heard of problems specifically in that area.  Maybe
somebody else has, so I've copied -questions (it's a bad idea to send
me private mail on this kind of question; you're limiting your
options).  You've typed in the name of the file system, and it
complains immediately?  Maybe you should describe what you've done in
more detail.

Ouch! From what I hear, UNIX is not the place to start learning how to
make an operating system. What I've heard recommended by various people
is:
1) Operating System Design and Implementation, by Mr. Tanembam, I believe.
It's published by prentice hall, and comes with the operating system
MINUX.
2) The DOS-C kernel, and FreeDOS related material. www.freedos.org .
3) For the new cache-kernel model for operating systems, check out
www.freedows.org . I think it's the first operating system based on the
cache-kernel design (not that it's done yet... ).

Good Luck,

Nope - you can try minix.  I have a missive about this somewhere.
Essentially the only "good" thing I every found about minix was "animals"
- a game where the computer tries to guess what animal you're thinking of
by asking you things like "is it a cat?"
You say:  No.
Computer says : describe it
You say: exit
Computer says : is it an exit?
.
.
.
(you can see where this is going...)

Hi Nadav/list,

	I have gone through the manuals, and I agree, it isn't
trivial... I still need some help.  I've searched the archives, to no
avial, it seems the standard response for NIS-related questions is:  

	Configure NIS through /etc/rc.conf and see `man yp'. - Doug
White

	Hoping for more than that, here's what I've done and what I
would like to do:

	uncommented relevant nis lines from rc.conf and host.conf on
both NIS server and clients.
	added domainname
	ran make in /var/yp
		- cameback with errors relating to ypservers file
	created blank ypservers file
	ran make again
		- cameback with errors about blank lines in:
master.passwd, passwd, networks, etc... but completed.
	copied master.passwd from /etc to /var/yp
	ran make again
		- cameback with some duplicate info errors, and with
blank line errors for all but master.passwd and passwd.
	
	What am I missing?

	Here's what works at this point:
	
	can use yppasswd from NIS clients to change NIS passwd for
EXISTING local accounts 

	Here's what I'd like to do:

	Configure accounts only once on NIS server
	Single logon for NIS clients
	Single home directory for each user on NIS server

	Relevant info:
	
	All machines FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE
	1 NIS server
	4 Clients

	Thanks in advance people, I will truly appreciate the help on
this one.  Please excuse the lengthy message if you're annoyed by that
sort of thing...

NIS comes as part of the basic system. Have you tried configuring it? It
is not trivial but the man pages are actuallyp retty well written. Start
with man yp.

Hi,
I am planing to use FreeBSD in my company. I was wondering about Java 
support on this OS. Does it have any Java support? If yes does it 
support JDK 1.1 and RMI? Kindly reply ASAP as I have to make a quick 
decision regarding OS to choose.

Can I also get answers to the following?

1) Contact person/phone# for FreeBSD?
2) How many people are involved with FreeBSD (active, working,
supporting etc)?
3) The physical location (if any)?

Thanks.

Deepinder.

Hi folks,

	We had an unexpected power outage that left the filesystem on one
of my boxes corrupted enough to need a manual fsck to come up.  My problem
now is that fsck dumps core at the same point repeatedly at the same
point.  As a result, I have no /usr partition.  Doh!

	Does anyone have any suggestions?  Am I SOL?  If someone out there
wants to debug the problem so that it is fixed, I would be more than glad
to assist.  A core dumping fsck is a _very_ scary thing to have on ones
system.

	This is not an important machine, so I am not pressured to fix it
immediately.  I'd like to resolve the problem properly before forgetting
about it.

	Lastly, it is a 2.2-STABLE-980118 based system.

thanks,	

	Adrian

	Hi,

I'm looking for a piece of software to have my FreeBSD box shut down
if the power goes away. There is UPS box wich will keep the system up
for several minutes, and then it supposed to send a signal on RS232
port, and the software should then do clean shut down.

So far so good, but the problem is that I can not sense anything
intelligeble on the port, it looks more like line noise. The
manufacturer has of course the software for Windoze and no desire to
share the protocol.

So, I wonder if it's a well-known thing and maybe somebody already did
in-depth investigation.

Any and all suggestions and references are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

	serge

The NIS isn't trival, but there are a few things which must be done.

On the server:

	1) create a /var/yp/master.passwd with entries for each user
	2) create /var/yp/servers with name of the server or servers
	   (I dont think this should be blank)
	3) create /var/yp/securenets file (optional but good idea) 
           here is an example:
		#allow local address and all hosts on internal net 10.xxxx
		127.0.0.1       255.255.255.255
		10.0.0.0        255.0.0.0
	
	4) do a 'make' in /var/yp
	5) In /etc/rc.conf on server:
nisdomainname="barnyard.foo"        # Set to NIS domain if using NIS (or
NO).
...

# Network Information Services (NIS) options: ###
nis_client_enable="YES"         # We're an NIS client (or NO).
nis_client_flags=""             # Flags to ypbind (if enabled).
nis_ypset_enable=""             # Run ypset at boot time (or NO).
nis_ypset_flags=""              # Flags to ypset (if enabled).
nis_server_enable="YES"         # We're an NIS server (or NO).
nis_server_flags=""             # Flags to ypserv (if enabled).
nis_ypxfrd_enable="NO"          # Run rpc.ypxfrd at boot time (or NO).
nis_ypxfrd_flags=""             # Flags to rpc.ypxfrd (if enabled).
nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES"      # Run rpc.yppasswdd at boot time (or
NO).
nis_yppasswdd_flags="-s -f"     # Flags to rpc.yppasswdd (if enabled).

	6) Server should be up on with the next reboot.

On the Client side:

	1) add + to end of /etc/hosts  - not sure if this is needed???Anyone???
	2) add +::: to end of /etc/group
	3) vipw and add +:::::::::  to end of password file
	4) allow NIS and disable bind in /etc/host.conf
	   The NIS server will do the DNS lookup for the client.
	5) in etc/rc.conf on client:

nisdomainname="barnyard.foo"        # Set to NIS domain if using NIS (or
NO).
...
# Network Information Services (NIS) options: ### 
nis_client_enable="YES"         # We're an NIS client (or NO).
nis_client_flags=""             # Flags to ypbind (if enabled).
nis_ypset_enable="NO"           # Run ypset at boot time (or NO). 
nis_ypset_flags=""              # Flags to ypset (if enabled).
nis_server_enable="NO"          # We're an NIS server (or NO).
nis_server_flags=""             # Flags to ypserv (if enabled).
nis_ypxfrd_enable="NO"          # Run rpc.ypxfrd at boot time (or NO).
nis_ypxfrd_flags=""             # Flags to rpc.ypxfrd (if enabled).
nis_yppasswdd_enable="NO"       # Run rpc.yppasswdd at boot time (or
NO).
nis_yppasswdd_flags=""          # Flags to rpc.yppasswdd (if enabled).


You must also make sure the clients are using the same libcrypt files. 
Look
in /usr/lib and make sure.  I think the default is MD5, but if you want
to 
allow Sun machines in your domain, then use DES.  

On each of the machine, I only have a few entries in the
/etc/master.passwd file.
Them being root and the NIS entry +::::::::.  All the others are kept on
the
NIS server.

This server also serves the NFS files systems for /home, /usr, and
/spare.
All accounts go on /home/user.  THe /usr partition get mounted on all
the
clients and symlinks point to stuff like man pages and /usr/local stuff.
This
saves a lot of disk space. on the clients.  Some erformance hits are
taken, but
maintance is much simpler.

I think that covers everything. Try it and let us know.

Hi,
    I tried the following suggestion.  It completed
successfully, and now the Playmidi program
seems to be "working".  Unfortunately, no sound
comes out.  Also, using the S3MOD port, I
get the following error message:


seqfd: 3
PCM device 0 not installed
could not open audio device!
Mar 2 20:53:12 lvdi /kernel: PCM device 0 not installed

Any additional ideas?  Thanks in advance!

Hehe.. yeah, I ran Minix and I remember that little gem. 

All things said, Minix was a nice little system.. and if all you have
is a 286, it sure beats DOS. I ran Minix for quite some time, and one
of the best things about it is that it is small.. not that I don't like
big, robust systems or anything, but I learned a lot about the innards
of Minix, wrote my own console driver, and did various other hacks.

But it won't run Emacs or anything like that.. so you are limited to
smaller applications. I don't even know if Lynx would compile on the
286 version, so you might not even have a web browser (which is really
rather vital these days).

Recently installed 2.2.5 from CD. Everything installed great, except that
it didn't bootstrap the drive, and now I can't figure out how to.

Booting from a floppy and giving the "sd(0,a)kernel" option at the boot
prompt works like a charm, but I would love to get that floppy out of
the drive.

Originally the setup consisted of two SCSI drives. SCSI IDs 0, 2 and a CDrom
on 6.

I disconnected SCSI id 2 drive, placed a new one on SCSI id 3, and installed
freebsd as well as the MBR option on the drive using SCSI id 3.

I removed the drive using SCSI id 0, rejumpered the new fresh install to
SCSI id 0, and reconnected the drive on SCSI id 2 (previously disconnected).

Attempted to boot the system only to see a wonderful "Operating System
Not Found" message from my bios. Through in a floppy, booted the kernel
and root fs on SCSI id 0 and tada, it worked.

Any help would be appreciated. If I've managed to over complicate matters
in this email, let me know that too. I wasn't sure what all information
would help determine the problem.

OK, I just did an installworld from 2.2-STABLE CVSup'd sometime Sunday
evening, and top seems to be a bit weirder than usual.
In addition to my system running slower than usual (I think that's a
kernel problem that I need to resolve, actually) top is giving some math
that would have failed me out of second grade:
CPU states:  0.4% user,  0.0% nice,  0.8% system,  0.0% interrupt, 98.8%
idle
Nothin unusual there, until you get to this:
  216 fullermd  2   0 13956K  5656K select   0:08  7.41%  7.29% netscape
  203 fullermd  2   0  4176K  2728K select   0:05  3.94%  3.89% XF86_S3
ummm....
100-7-3=98?
Is this much variance expected?  It's consistently about that far off over
several minutes of watching.

I would second that advice.

DNS is really quite simple but seems to be
universally badly documented.

Ah - the documentation seems good ONCE YOU
UNDERSTAND DNS. 

Buy the book DNS and BIND.

Hello again,

I just installed an Adaptec 2940UW (ultra-wide) SCSI controller into my
system, replacing the existing plain 2940, in order to support a new IBM
4.3 GB ultra-wide SCSI drive.  My system appears to have recognized
everything with no problem (snippet from dmesg below), with the exception
of one line that I'll point out.  However, I am having difficulty
partitioning this new drive.  My setup before installing the ultra-wide
controller and drive was a plain 2940 (narrow) and two narrow SCSI drives
on IDs 0 and 2.  Now I have the 2940UW with the same two narrow drives,
plus the wide drive on ID 4.

Here is the dmseg output:

ahc0  rev 1 int a irq 11 on pci0:14
ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs
ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
ahc0:A:0: refuses WIDE negotiation.  Using 8bit transfers
Unexpected busfree.  LASTPHASE == 0xe0
[That's the odd line I was referring to.]
SEQADDR == 0x41
(ahc0:0:0): "QUANTUM LPS540S 5900" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 516MB (1057616 512 byte sectors)
ahc0:A:2: refuses WIDE negotiation.  Using 8bit transfers
(ahc0:2:0): "QUANTUM TRB850S 0403" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd1(ahc0:2:0): Direct-Access 810MB (1660299 512 byte sectors)
(ahc0:4:0): "IBM DCAS-34330W S61A" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd2(ahc0:4:0): Direct-Access 4134MB (8467200 512 byte sectors)

When using the disk partition editor, I created a single slice using the
"A = Use Entire disk" option.  I then wrote out the changes and got the
message "Wrote FDISK partition information out successfully.".  Next, I
went to the Disk label editor, where I saw sd2 and its 4133 MB of free
space.  I tried creating a single partition within the slice, and also
tried creating two (which was my original goal).  Neither worked; the
partitions got created, but when disklabel tried to create the
filesystems, it got the message:

  Error mounting /dev/sd2s1e on /usr2 : Invalid argument

/usr2 is where I told it to mount the partition.  The same thing happened
when I tried to create 2 separate partitions -- one error message for
each.  I also tried creating 2 slices with the partition editor, and then
creating a single partition on each slice using the disk label editor; got
the same results.

I did *not* use the Adaptec BIOS to format or verify the drive first, but
have been told that it's not necessary to do that, either.  After the
first failure, though, I tried using the scsiformat program to low-level
format the drive.  Didn't help, though.

At this point, I'm at a loss.  I have a 4.3 GB drive that I don't seem to
be able to do anything with except make spin really fast.  Anyone have any
suggestions on how to make this work?  If someone can give me a solution,
I'll have a pizza delivered to your house (assuming you're in the
continental United States). :)

Thanks in advance,
Bryce

I just acquired a box with a Mitsumi FX240 CDROM drive.  When I tried
to install 2.2.5 on it, the USERCONFIG failed to detect the drive. The old
port 300 IRQ 10 does not work on this one either.

AFAIK, It's a PNP device.  Has anyone been playing with it?  Would
appreciate any pointers.

I have already received a package (one month ago), and the article
is finished. Some of your colleages were faster.... :-)

Thank you very much anyway. The article on FreeBDS is going to appear 
in the German PC INTERN magazine this month, assumably 03/18/98.

(Of course this should not stop anyone from sending me further or
more recent product samples ;-), I just wanted to inform you, it is 
not _necessary_ anymore.)

I have a PII 266 with 128 meg of memory. My mother board has an adaptec
7880. Will Free bsd work with this chip? Will I be able to run Free BSD
from a SCSI drive using this interface? I also have a Diamond Viper 330
AGP. Does Free BSD support this card? Does Free BSD support AGP?

Sir,

We have a FreeBSD server in our office, we use it to connect the =
Internet via PPP dial up. Now we applied a domain name and a static IP =
address from an ISP, we hope by this way we can let all local users =
using e-mail, but we don't know how to make the static IP and our =

Thanks!

I installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 off the Wlnut Creek CDROM but I can't get
XFree86 to run unless I have my ppp line up. I get the following error:

_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61

waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61
..
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61
.._XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for tcp

Fatal server error:
Failed to establish all listening sockets

On bootup I get lo0 no such device errors.

once I run my X-server is running I can kill PPP and everything keeps
running but if I exit X a can't run x until I start ppp again.

I am using the XF86_S3 driver.

Hi All..

I keep getting the following message from our backup server, and
as I didn't install amanda in the first place I can't figure out
how the authentication system works for amandad - does it need
to have the user 'backup' placed in a configuration file 
somewhere?

Error message follows:

planner: ERROR swordfish: [access as backup not allowed from
backup@manta.fast.net.uk]

Any ideas? 
                                       .

Hmmm, this is just a hunch, but:

Have you by any chance deleted "pseudo-device loop" from your kernel
config? Have you deleted the lo0 ifconfig settings from /etc/rc.conf?
What does netstat -in gives when your ppp link is not active???

I know this has come up before, and I'll freely admit - I looked on smugly
thinking... "SCSI... Good choice... ;-)"

But now I'm being made to pay...

I've just gotten hold of a Quantum Fireball SE4.3Gb IDE hard drive. I've added
into my system as the Primary Master, but in the bios I've got it set to 'Not
installed' (this is so the system will still boot off the SCSI drives on my
AHA2940)...

This works a treat, and FreeBSD proudly tells me:

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0xff80ff on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): , 32-bit, multi-block-16
wd0: 4110MB (8418816 sectors), 14848 cyls, 9 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

I then label the disk, i.e.


"# /dev/wd0:
type: ESDI
disk: wd0s1
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 9
sectors/cylinder: 567
cylinders: 14848
sectors/unit: 8418816
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # milliseconds
drivedata: 0

8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  c:  8418816        0    unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 14847)
  e:  8418816        0    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.    0 - 14847)"


And run a "newfs -b 8192 -f 1024

It starts to format the drive, and then I get:

"wd0: interrupt timeout
wd0: status 58 
wd0: interrupt timeout
wd0: status 58  error 1 "


I've tried fiddling with the flags in my kernel config (for wdc0), and I've
tried various geometries (including sticking a DOS partition on there, and
letting the partition editor use that geometry (as recomended in the FAQ's
etc.) - but I still can't get it to work...

If you leave the machine alone it slowly 'dies' so you have to reset, and fsck
all the partitions etc.

I've got an identical drive (brand new) - that behaves the same...

Annoyingly they both format and run OK under DOS / Windows etc. (but as usual
that don't mean much... )

I've tried searching the mailing archives, and found the predominant response
to be "Your drive is failing", or "It has bad blocks", or "It's a cabling
problem" - I've checked the cables (there nice and short as well), the drives
certainly aren't failing - and as for bad blocks... Hmmm... Scandisk etc.
don't return any errors and I've image-copied one drive to another without any
snags...

(IRQ 14 is also free on the machine... - and I've double checked this!)

If anyone has any info on this, and doesn't begrudge giving it to a once
dedicated, happy SCSI user...

Please let me know...


Regards,


Karl Pielorz

Subject: FreeBSD at war with Win95 over 3Com 900XL ...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi ...

I'm setting up a Pentium II - 266 (ASUS based) machine with FreeBSD
2.2.5 and Windows 95 using OSBS boot manager.

Initially I set up the 3Com 900 XL Combo card (vx0) in dos with the 3Com
utility, selecting
10base2 (BNC), not "Auto Select" which is default. All is as well as
expected with the 900XL
under UNIX.

However, rebooting with Win95 gives an incredibly sluggish machine,
taking about 2 minutes
booting and starting the MS-Office shotcut bar!! Before configuring the
vx0 in FreeBSD it booted  in fractions of a second!  After some trial
and error I concluded that the Win95 900XL driver must be brain-dead, I
can't set 10base2. It accepts just "auto select".

Consequently I proceeded to set FreeBSD to select 10base2 with the
"link1" option in "/etc/rc.conf" as follows:
            ifconfig_vx0="inet   netmask  LINK1"
and it works like a dream.

However, when I then proceed to reboot Win95 it still is sluggish, and
it seem to me that FreeBSD  900XL driver has set the card to 10base2
again! Setting the card to "auto select" again and  another reboot fixes
the problem until FreeBSD is booted and the Win95 hangs again
thereafter...

And so it goes :-)

Well, do anyone have a solution to this problem?

Methinks I'm going to change to an old 3Com Etherlink II/16, at last it
runns OK  with both
FreeBSD and Win95!  (The problem is that there will be arriving a
truckload of these machines
with 900XL in a week or two, so a solution based on 900XL would be
preferred :-)

The problem is that communicator does lookups when starting, when
writing a new mail and also when it is idle. I had no lookups when
communicator isn't running. Funny, isn't it?

Please excuse me for mailing three times,
my e-mail address specified in previous
letter was wrong.

Please reply to grg@philol.msu.ru

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

I don't know exactly the model number of my QIC drive,
but it's also 250MB. Windows NT detects it as 'QIC-117'.
Is it possible to use it in FreeBSD?

Recently, I got a PC, MICRON millennia XKU. The following is the more 
detailed information about the PC:

     Processor Type:  Pentium II

When I boot the system with FreeBSD 2.2.5 boot floppy, the installation 
process hang after displaying messages as shown before. Even though I 
resolved (?) the conflicts during the installation, I could not make 
BSD installed on the PC that I can access.  Any help or advise will
be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have a client who wants to use fwtk for a firewall.  No problem.

He also wants VPN capability, which is not supported by fwtk.

Is there something I can do with FreeBSD to provide a vpn?

I suspect that OpenBSD could do it, with the kernel's built-in strong
encryption, but I don't want to use OpenBSD.  FreeBSD has earned my trust.

Thanks,
Michael

I don't know exactly the model number of my QIC drive,
but it's also 250MB. Windows NT detects it as 'QIC-117'.
Is it possible to use it in FreeBSD?

There is a Linux HOWTO on creating a vpn using ppp and ssh.  I
doubt there would be any problems doing it on FreeBSD, but I
have not tried it.

I have discovered some interesting facts about my KDE 3.1b problems:
I can run KDE from any account that resides on a local disk, but
it fails when it's run from NFS-mounted homedirs (we have a Solaris
NFS server for user directories).

Then, I thought that the problem could be related to the creation
of named UNIX sockets in the NFS-mounted filesystem, so I searched
for any socket in the .kde directory built by KDE when started
from the local disk, and I found two sockets at ~/.kde/share/apps/kfm,
named "kfm_0.0" and "kio_0.0". However, these same files are created
as **named pipes** (!?!) when KDE is started from the NFS-mounted
home directory.

Then I wrote a tiny program that creates a named UNIX socket. I ran it,
from both local and NFS-mounted directories, and it created named
sockets in both cases without any problem.

In summary, I think that the KDE problem is related to the NFS-mounting
of the user account, but my little program creates sockets in the
remote filesystem, so I don't know what happens.

I would like to know if other people running FreeBSD boxes as
NFS clients can reproduce this problem with KDE.

Any ideas?

What kind of UPS do you have?  Look at /usr/ports/sysutils upsd and bkpupsd.

Hmm. NT calls it QIC-117 because that's the command protocol
for all QIC-compliant drives. What do the lines that pertain
to the ft device (ft, fdc) look like in your config file? I
had a non-standard deck that didn't work with FreeBSD but
was probed fine.

I have tried various combinations in config.
Initially it was as follows:

-----------------------------
controller	fdc0	at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
disk		fd0	at fdc0 drive0
disk		fd2	at fdc0 drive1
tape		ft0	at fdc0 drive2
-----------------------------------

-- and this didn't work. I have know second floppy disk drive, so
I changed it to

-----------------------------
controller	fdc0	at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
disk		fd0	at fdc0 drive0
tape		ft0	at fdc0 drive1
-----------------------------------

-- and also tried

-----------------------------
controller	fdc0	at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
tape		ft0	at fdc0 drive0
tape		ft0	at fdc0 drive1
-----------------------------------

But ft0 is probed in nither configuration. dmesg reports:

-------------
fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 flags 0x1 on isa
fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold
fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in
--------------

-- and never mentions 'ft0'...

What's to do?

Grigoriy.

Well, there are a couple of different authentication schemes supported 
by amanda.  these are set up at compile time... here are the configure 
options:

  --with-bsd-security    use BSD rsh/rlogin style security
  --with-amandahosts     use .amandahosts instead of .rhosts
  --with-krb4-security=DIR   Location of Kerberos software [/usr/kerberos /usr/cygnus /usr /opt/kerberos]

if you're using bsd security then you need to have .rhosts set up
appropriately for user amanda (and need to have rsh enabled in
inetd.conf, and tcp_wrappers if you use those)... and so on.

Sure, especially as many of you won´t read the german article...

I started with giving some detailed information about the installation
process and about customization/postinstall using the sysinstall
program.
I critizised the lack of a "German characters" option but mentioned the
link http://www.de.freebsd.org/de/umlaute/ that describes how to solve
the problem.
The documentation (FreeBSD handbook) seems to be a great source of
knowledge, but obviously not intended for the beginner.
I explained that Linux programs can be executed and remarked that the
KDE Desktop can be compiled under FreeBSD as well.

I did not give a "grade", as my insight was not deep enough for such a
purpose. The intention of my article was to show that besides Linux,
there are other OS alternatives -- not doing a qualified evaluation
and comparison with other OS´s. 
As I am more experienced with Linux (or should I say I had next to no
experience with FreeBSD except from installing and un-installing an
older
version one or two years ago), I thought it unfair to say that I found,
many things went easier with Linux - so I did not...

After the article there is an interview with Christoph Kukulies, 
Andreas Klemm und Joerg Wunsch, which is longer than the article
itself (and in my opionion also is more interesting than the rest ;-),
where we discussed some interesting topics, such as: What are the
advantages 
of FreeBSD over other Unices, etc., FreeBSD license vs. GNU GPL, ports
collection, ISDN, filesystems, changes in 3.0, ports to other processor
platforms.

These are the main contents of my article.
If someone wants to keep me informed about significant news, I might put
some small information in a regular FreeBSD box (though, only if my
editor
lets me do so). The main topic of my rubrique is Linux.

The WWW address of the magazine is http://www.pcintern.de, but their
home
page is rather poor: you don´t get much more than a table of contents...

you're in luck.  java support just got a lot better only about a month
ago thanks to damon parmezel, nate williams and others.  i've found
that the current port of jdk 1.1.5 is very stable, and we recently
switched one of our machines used primarily for java development off
of solaris x86 to fbsd with no problems to date.

more info: http://www.freebsd.org/java/

also, if you keep your ports dir up-to-date, you can just run make
install in the jdk port ($PORTS/lang/jdk/)

Um... I'm not sure that anyone is offering "commercial support" for
freebsd... but i could be wrong--i assume this is what you're asking?

> supporting etc)?

hard to say... i think the userbase is estimated in the
100,000's... with companies like yahoo, walnut creek cdrom, and
internet movie database, etc, being some of the more remarkable.
There is a lot more of this kind of information at the website
(http://www.freebsd.org/) 

> 3) The physical location (if any)?

well, there are developers around the globe... but freebsd's "home", i
guess, is walnut creek cdrom (http://www.cdrom.com/) somewhere in
silicon valley... =)

hope this helps

Could anyone explain how I setup an Exabyte 8505XL
with mt?

I've found out that I need to set the compression
with mt on st0ctl.[0-3], but what density should I use for Exabyte?

I try to use /dev/nrst0.1 for compression and /dev/nrst0.0
for no compression.

    Hi... I have a problem with FreeBSD.  I installed it two nights ago.  
I thought I installed it right, but I can't get pass the boot procedure.  
What I mean by that is, When I turn on the computer, it boots with 
default setting, which is kernel, I guess... then it goes through that 
hardware probing stuff... then at the end it says " can't get root" or 
something, and prompts" reboots automatically in 15 seconds"...  Do you 
know what I mean?!

    I have two hard drive and I installed FreeBSD in the second hard 
drive which is 813 meg.  When I Fdisk, I see that both drives are 
bootale.... I don't understand....

    I installed boot easy, but it starts with.
  F1 DOS
  F5 Drive 2

   Default F5

 I see FreeBSD after I press F5, then I see...

   

  Please help me as soon as possible!! I can't wait till get my hands on 
FreeBSD... I've been trying to install this for four straight nights!

  Thank you very much!

Hi!

I'm using ppp v1.65, mgetty with Auto_PPP and chap
as an authentication method.

I have a couple of questions on setting up ppp server:

1) What compressions supported by Win95 (pred1, deflate, pppd-deflate)?
2) Does Win95 supports PAP?
3) Ppp makes an utmp entry with wrong tty-line, is this a bug?
4) How to use a fourth field in /etc/ppp/ppp.secret? any examples?
5) When I "set encrypt MSChap", I'm unable to log in from Win95 (OSR2)
   with the following diagnostics:

I installed the wide-dhcp client and made the changes to /etc/rc.conf
and /etc/rc.network:

in /etc/rc.conf:
network_interfaces="de0 lo0"    # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loopback).
ifconfig_de0="DYNAMIC"
defaultrouter="DYNAMIC"


in /etc/rc.network:
	    # Do the primary ifconfig if specified
	    eval ifconfig_args=\$ifconfig_${ifn}
+	    if [ "${ifconfig_args}" = "DYNAMIC" ] ; then
+#		    rm /var/db/dhcp_cache # uncomment to get different IP number
+		    /usr/local/sbin/dhcpc ${ifn}
+	    else
	      if [ -n "${ifconfig_args}" ] ; then
		    ifconfig ${ifn} ${ifconfig_args}
	      fi
+	    fi

...

    # Configure routing

-    if [ "x$defaultrouter" != "xNO" ] ; then
+    if [ "x$defaultrouter" != "xNO" -a "x$defaultrouter" != "xDYNAMIC" ] ; then
	    static_routes="default ${static_routes}"

I've seen those running FreeBSD, I haven't tried one myself.

3com PCMCIA cards work fine with FreeBSD (those I've used myself)

Hello,

I am looking to setup a dial-up server which would only all the person
dialing up to access one IP address.  Would freebsd include all the
software to do that?

Thanks,
Micah

Obligatory Fix your mailer!  I got one *long* line.

man ppp

Look for the -alias option.  There is really nothing to it.  Setup
your internal network using RFC1918 addresses and things will work
automagically.

Set gateway="YES" in rc.conf too.

Anyone know if there will ever be a port for Excite for FreeBSD?  I tried
to install the BSDI version and everything went in ok, but whenever you
try to run it is save 'file not found', so I'm assuming that there is some
incompatibility there.  Any ideas?

Is /usr/local/bin in your path?  If so, try 'rehash'.

Also try /usr/local/bin/ssh to amke sure it's there and working.

I think that I have reached the end of my KDE problem that began
this thread. The guilty is... the NFS server!!!!

We use as our main NFS server for user directories a SPARCserver
running Solaris 2.5.1. When an NFS request for creating a socket
comes from any NFS client, the server makes it with permissions
750 (this is OK) and the setuid bit set (I don't know why).
But after creating the sockets, KDE changes their modes to 666
(BTW, the number of the Beast :-) ); this implies that the client
requests a SETATTR NFS operation to the Solaris server. I have
found that this simple operation changes the file type from "socket"
to "pipe". This only happens in the Solaris server.
I have tested also an SGI IRIX NFS server and the mode change
works fine from any client.

In summary, my KDE problem has only two possible solutions:

  1. Sun fixes the Solaris' NFS server code.
  2. KDE is changed so that it creates the sockets in a local
     filesystem (such as /tmp).

ARRRRRGH!!!!

Hello

I having some difficulty with FreeBSD 2.2.5 with respect
to memory allocation by processes.

Example:

a 7MB C file compiles when run as root. However,
results in "cpp:memory exhausted" when run as a
user.

The complete executable is 49MB in size but even
when run as root generates "out of memory".

I have 128MB in the system and have recompiled the 
kernel to support 128MB. In addition, I have 500MB
of swap.

vmstat -m 

gives interesting results.

And top states that I have 128MB.

I am in quite a bind and would appreciate any
help. 


Thanks

I can't remember the exact symbol, but there
is a symbol that you can define for ft.c that
traces the whole thing. I think it's FT_TRACE.
Look at ft.c for something similar, and then
put in your config file:

options FT_TRACE

assuming FT_TRACE is right. Then you'll get a
whole slew of kernel messages relating to the
probing of the ft. That should be more helpful.

	Tried installing a snapshot of the 3.x releases a few weeks ago
on a Pentium based x86 machine, every time I ran through the install, at
the point where it checks hardware, it crashes and reboots after
detecting the Pentium chip. What gives?

If I were you, I'd try and reinstall the port.  If it's not there, it didn't
install.  (I occasionally forgeto "make install" when I am busy.)

Check.

Are these disks runing in dedicated mode or compatibility mode, i.e. do
they have a proper partition table?

We'd have to get a kernel dump on that one.  You might try setting up a
debugging kernel (compiled with -g) and use kgdb against the kernel dump
when it crashes.

Me neither.  I assume you're keeping backups?

I can't see how BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET would have anything to do with it;
it just controls how the system is restarted during a reboot.  I.e., if
your system sticks up at the `Rebooting...' on a shutdown, then you need
it.

I'd suggest checking termination on your SCSI bus just for good measure.

I never Re-compiled my kernel I am using the kernel right off the CD-ROM
and I reall haven't done anything with my /etc/rc.conf. and what I posted
here is what I got when the ppp link wasn't active. and I have this in my
/etc/rc.conf file

network_interfaces="lo0"        # List of network interfaces (lo0 is
loopback).
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"   # default loopback device configuration.

I get these errors with starx, xinit and with xdm.

You complained to root and webmaster at a router :-)  Traceroute barfs
from a Host Unreachable at that point, so it's possible that IP
(208.254.129.221) is forged.  You might try bothering postmaster and
abuse@uu.net and see if they can trace that IP back further. Do a
traceroute and send them the output.

celebris must be your box, that's an invalid IP.

celebris could also be the box at the sender's end if the celebris goes 
through a NAT box.

I assume these are all in one large extended slice.  If not you might run
out of slice.

Good.

Certainly, see http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ.  You have to tuse the NT loader
if your NT partition is NTFS, otherwise you could use booteasy.

Well, what did you prune out?? :-)  Make sure your boot devices are being
detected.

Derek,
	Thanks for the help, I have a couple followup questions:

	1) What should be the syntax of the /var/yp/servers file?
	2) on clients: add + to end of filenames? (i.e. hosts+) or on
the last line of the file itself?
	3) also, for NFS (which is installed and working) how do I
automount dirs at boot?

Thanks again - once you respond I will let you know how it all works...

Subject: Re: NIS Implementation


The NIS isn't trival, but there are a few things which must be done.

On the server:

	1) create a /var/yp/master.passwd with entries for each user
	2) create /var/yp/servers with name of the server or servers
	   (I dont think this should be blank)
	3) create /var/yp/securenets file (optional but good idea) 
           here is an example:
		#allow local address and all hosts on internal net
10.xxxx
		127.0.0.1       255.255.255.255
		10.0.0.0        255.0.0.0
	
	4) do a 'make' in /var/yp
	5) In /etc/rc.conf on server:
nisdomainname="barnyard.foo"        # Set to NIS domain if using NIS (or
NO).
...

# Network Information Services (NIS) options: ###
nis_client_enable="YES"         # We're an NIS client (or NO).
nis_client_flags=""             # Flags to ypbind (if enabled).
nis_ypset_enable=""             # Run ypset at boot time (or NO).
nis_ypset_flags=""              # Flags to ypset (if enabled).
nis_server_enable="YES"         # We're an NIS server (or NO).
nis_server_flags=""             # Flags to ypserv (if enabled).
nis_ypxfrd_enable="NO"          # Run rpc.ypxfrd at boot time (or NO).
nis_ypxfrd_flags=""             # Flags to rpc.ypxfrd (if enabled).
nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES"      # Run rpc.yppasswdd at boot time (or
NO).
nis_yppasswdd_flags="-s -f"     # Flags to rpc.yppasswdd (if enabled).

	6) Server should be up on with the next reboot.

On the Client side:

	1) add + to end of /etc/hosts  - not sure if this is
needed???Anyone???
	2) add +::: to end of /etc/group
	3) vipw and add +:::::::::  to end of password file
	4) allow NIS and disable bind in /etc/host.conf
	   The NIS server will do the DNS lookup for the client.
	5) in etc/rc.conf on client:

nisdomainname="barnyard.foo"        # Set to NIS domain if using NIS (or
NO).
...
# Network Information Services (NIS) options: ### 
nis_client_enable="YES"         # We're an NIS client (or NO).
nis_client_flags=""             # Flags to ypbind (if enabled).

You must also make sure the clients are using the same libcrypt files. 
Look
in /usr/lib and make sure.  I think the default is MD5, but if you want
to 
allow Sun machines in your domain, then use DES.  

On each of the machine, I only have a few entries in the
/etc/master.passwd file.
Them being root and the NIS entry +::::::::.  All the others are kept on
the
NIS server.

This server also serves the NFS files systems for /home, /usr, and
/spare.
All accounts go on /home/user.  THe /usr partition get mounted on all
the
clients and symlinks point to stuff like man pages and /usr/local stuff.
This
saves a lot of disk space. on the clients.  Some erformance hits are
taken, but
maintance is much simpler.

I think that covers everything. Try it and let us know.

I know that questions about setting up PPP abound on this forum so I
apologise in advance for asking.

I printed off the instructions found at 'http://www.awfulhack.org' (or on=
e
of
it's links) and followed the instructions for installing PPP.

I obtained the necessary details from my ISP (Compuserve) namely
2 DNS server IP's , the Domain name 'gateway.compuserve.com' (IP Address
unknown).

I setup and configured /etc/resolv.conf , /etc/hosts, and /etc/host.conf
then
modified /etc/rc.conf. Tested the tun device with 'ifconfig' all is well.=


Setup /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup (copy attached).

The system dials out and CONNECT's then hangs with the line open
(judging by the modem lights). It is possible that the section 'provider:=
'
in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf is unsuitable for Compuserve so I tried doing things=

manually as described in 'man ppp' using 'term' but it still appears to
hang after connecting. ie it does not ask me 'login:' or anything elses !=
!

Any help appreciated !!

From:      "Bryan K. Ogawa" 
To:        freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
Subject:   2.1.5, BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET, and \
                AHA-2840 VLB = overwrite super , block on reboot

which mentions:


With the new kernel in place, the system works fine.  Unfortunately,
whenever FreeBSD triggers a reboot (e.g. shutdown -r or pressing a key on
the console after shutdown -h), the SCSI drive loses its super block.

I have confirmed that this happens only when FreeBSD triggers the reset,
and not when the system is reset via the reset button.  Waiting for a
while after the shutdown -h for the controller to write out its cache
doesn't matter.  I also noticed that the drive light on the SCSI drive
(which is in its own housing) flashes briefly after the system resets.

This reliably appears to destroy the entire super block--fsck cannot
run on the drive (no magic number), and instructs me to manually fsck the
drive (which will not work unless I use fsck -b 32 /dev/rsd0e ). 


Mind you it's not the same gear as I'm using, but it sounds pretty 
similar. I'll keep digging around though.

>I'd suggest checking termination on your SCSI bus just for good measure.

I'll do that too. Thanks for the reply. When I figure it out, I'll post.

You would have to check /etc/login.conf, which controls user resources.
The man page is somewhat turgid, but the file itself is pretty easy to
understand. If you want to allocate login classes against different
types of users, you can do this with vipw(1), changing the 5th field in
the passwd file.

I've followed the suggestions for setting up a printer in the FreeBSD

error:

This happens with Text and graphic printouts.  Below is my printcap and

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Hi folks,

	We had an unexpected power outage that left the filesystem on one
of my boxes corrupted enough to need a manual fsck to come up.  My problem
now is that fsck dumps core at the same point repeatedly at the same
point.  As a result, I have no /usr partition.  Doh!

	The last message goes somethng like the following:

> .....
> MISSING '.' I=185876 OWNER=root MODE=40755

> CANNOT FIX, FIRST ENTRY IN DIRECTORY CONTAINS proflibs-install.sh
> pid 15 (fsck), uid 0,: exited on signal 10
> Bus error


	Does anyone have any suggestions?  Am I SOL?  If someone out there
wants to debug the problem so that it is fixed, I would be more than glad
to assist.  A core dumping fsck is a _very_ scary thing to have on ones
system.  I am a bit stuck to fix this myself, given that I cannot even 
get /usr/src back on-line.

	This is not an important machine, so I am not pressured to fix it
immediately.  I'd like to resolve the problem properly before forgetting
about it.

	Lastly, it is a 2.2-STABLE-980118 based system.

thanks,	

	Adrian

According to the web pages & freebsd-question archive, skip isn't quite
ready on 2.2.  Anyone using this in a 2.2.5 system?

This implies that the network information given for your workstation is
incorrect. Hit ALT-F2 and see what's up.

You shouldn't need to access your router's configuration.  You don't have
the password anyway, do you? :-)

I dunno offhand; our mirror is 43MB and is pretty bare-bones.

It certainly does. Have a look at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook175.html (setting up user ppp)
in particular http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook180.html#424
(receiving incoming calls with ppp)
it has a reference to
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook152.html#dialup (configuring
freebsd for dialup services)

However I installed mgetty and had a look at the hypertext manual at
http://www.leo.org/~doering/mgetty/index.html 
and at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook180.html#userppp:mgetty

I fiddled around a bit until I understood what the set ifaddr commands did
in user ppp (thanks also to having a look at Greg Leheys new "Complete
FreeBSD").

things to remember:

* have a look at all the documentation you can find first as their are
some things you can miss if you don't have a bit of an overview first (I
found anyway).

* I keep forgetting to put my nameserver entry into /etc/resolv.conf
without this you may have problems

* make sure you have gateway enabled in your /etc/rc.conf if you wish to
use the server as a router/gateway (I apologise if I've used the wrong
term)

* make sure you've got the right things in your kernel such as
psuedo-device tun 1 for user ppp 


Hope this helps, I apologise in advance if any of the links are wrong as I
typed them in.

I would try removing a few things if you can in case their is a conflict.
Or when you go through the visual kernel configuration get rid of
everything you don't need for the install.

just a thought

In my boot.cacheonly (I don't think I'm cacheonly, but anyway) I have put
secondary image.dk 194.182.101.2 sc.image.dk

which makes my named grab the entire zonefile from my providers (image.dk)
nameserver 194.182.101.2 and save it in sc.image.dk.

I have also done the same for reverse lookup.

Then the remote nameserver is only used very seldom, depending on the settings
the isp has made regarding how long the files are valid.

This is a FAQ.

By version:

<= 2.2.x:  IDE supported, no improvement with UltraDMA.
3.x:  IDE controllers with UltraDMA features supported, improved
      performance.

Tosha will dump PCMs that can be gobbled by sox and similar utilities. 
May or may not work on ATAPI CDs; has been known to cause panics. 

Tosha's in the ports tree in audio.

wcd is a child of the IDE controller wdc, like the wd disk driver is.  If
your CDROM is found it'll show up, otherwise it won't even display.  

Try moving your CD onto your primary controller.

You missed ppp! :-)  Simply run `ppp' to get you started.

Does Ctrl-Alt-Backspace do anything?

Alt-F1?

If you can get into the machine, you can at least gracefully reboot the
system.

You have an immense amount of logging on.  Try

set log off

That should disable all logging.

That is *wierd*.  Did you talk with -hackers about limits on running

Maybe.  Does klm_prot.h exist on your system?

Hello,

	I've been working on implementing NIS - and I think I'm in the
home stretch, I can successfully login to NIS clients as a user that
exists remotely on the NIS server (via telnet or rlogin from another
FreeBSD box)  Yet I have an interesting problem with remote logins from
Windows NT telnet... when I attempt to connect, I get this error which
repeats infinitely: 

			yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out

	NT Telnet connections worked perfectly before I enabled NIS -
and telnet still works from other BSD machines, any suggestions?

	Also - how does one auto-mount NFS volumes at boot (i.e. home
dirs on NIS server)?


Thanks in advance
Ian Field

Either delete the devices or leave it.  What's bothering you,
specifically?  It'd be difficult to find someone who's installed on that
system specifically.

Except that, on my system, attempting to mount two of my three DOS
partitions results in:

"mountmsdosfs(): Warning: root directory is not a multiple of the
clustersize in length"

and "man mount_msdos" reports that, after this warning message:

"it is possible that writing to the MS-DOS filesystem would produce
corruption on the disc"

which is rather worrying.  My third DOS partition mounts successfully
without this warning.

Can anyone advise if there's anything I can do to the root directory
on the DOS partitions to avoid this warning and the potential for
corruption?   Or any other workaround?

I presume that mounting read only is safe.

You can always do it later by running /stand/sysinstall.

For 2.0.0, probably not; there were major changes between 2.0.0 and 2.0.5.
You're probably better reinstall.

Now that is *wierd*.  Have you been turning off the system without
shutting down?

It's trying to do a nameserver lookup and your caching only nameserver
doesn't have the name.  It's acting normally.

Put the IPs of commonly used hosts in /etc/hosts and change /etc/host.conf
to `hosts' before 'bind'.

I had this problem a while back.  Never quite figured out what it was, but
I got it on my account eventually, too.  I found that if I deleted my
account, then re-created it, it worked all of a sudden.  You could try
booting single user and doing that with root.
You can also use su -m, which will stick with the shell you're presently
using.  Not a permanent solution, but it should let you get to root.

Hi ,
I just installed the FreeBSD 2.2.5 on my computer.
The problem I have is :
When I login other than root, I'm not able to su. I did make sure I
created the account in wheel group, but still no luck. Can someone help?

Thanks
J.H.

Hi all,

Anybody know if FreeBSD 2.x supports the Seagate
EIDE Travan TR-4 TapeStor tape drive as supplied
on the Dell Optiplex PCs?

It also seems to be known by the name CTT8000
(or is that a different model?).

It's a 4/8GB mini-cartridge unit that accepts 3M
Travan TR4, Seagate 8000TR4, Seagate 4000QT
and Sony QW-3080XLF tapes.

Thanks for any help.  Please email directly.


Bye,
Mike

What error is it giving you?
Does it even let you input the root password, or does it cut you off
before then?

This is an ATAPI drive -- it'll be detected automatically by the wdc
probe.

pgcc still has bugs; you can't build a kernel with it.

That's a Windows95 partition, isn't it?

No, it's not.
I used to do this, and every time I mounted it, even readonly, several of
my files got corrupted.
'Course, that was taken care of when it once destroyed /etc/master.passwd,
/etc/passwd, /dev/console, /dev/ttyv0, .....  and I had to reinstall.
After that, I never mounted that partition again.
Note that this was with 2.1.6-RELEASE, so maybe it's a little better now.

I use the SCSI version with good results, but I do not think FreeBSD
supports the EIDE version.

	If you're not already, try the MOZILLA_NO_ASYNC_DNS option. Info is in
the readme.

Hope this helps,

Not really.  The communicator is a network application, and it
references URLs when starting and when writing mail.  The references
when idle are probably the result of some underlying protocol
activity.

> I had no lookups when communicator isn't running. Funny, isn't it?

Not really.  It just describes your usage patterns.  Here's a brief
(36 seconds) dump of DNS activity on my system while writing this
message (and not using Netscrape):

Make sure that the account has entry in /etc/group for wheel. su looks
in this file specifically, it doesn't inspect what the account's
login-group is.

I am using Emacs 19.34.1 for mail.

The longer I use it, the slower it becomes.  Getting mail from the
mailbox becomes slower.  Displaying and/or sorting headers becomes
slower.  After a couple of days, it takes 15 sec to get 60 messages
from the mailbox and another 15 sec to display headers.  Longer for a
header sort.

If I exit and restart Emacs, performance is restored.

I don't see anything unusual in pstat, swapinfo, top or vmstat.

Any ideas?

Folks,

This is an odd one. I'm trying to update my 2.2.5-stable system to the
latest -stable. My last successful 'make world' was on Jan 31 this
year.

I tried again about 2 weeks ago, and 'make buildworld' is now failing at

  ===> gnu/lib/libg++/doc
  rm -f g++FAQ.info* libg++.info* iostream.info* Errs errs mklog lgpl.texinfo
  /bin/sh: not found
  *** Error code 1

  Stop.

This error is 100% repeatable, and happens whether I'm running the make
in a root shell (tcsh) in an Xterm, or from 'sh' after booting the machine
single user.

I'm sure it's not a problem with the build process per se, otherwise
I've have seen other complaints. And I'm pretty certain it's not flaky
hardware, since the 'buildworld' fails at exactly the same point each
time (regardless of the shell or the machine's run state).

I assume that I'm running out of allowed resources at some point? I've
tried using 'unlimit' before doing the build, to no effect. I've also
copied over the most recent login.conf (1.9.2.6) for this branch, again
to no effect.

On the off chance there was a corruption in /usr/src I blew it away and
checked it out from the CVS repository again. No change. I also blew 
away /usr/obj. Again, no change.

I'm missing something obvious, but I'm damned if I know what it is.
Suggestions welcome.

Hello,

I
1. Installed FreeBSD through the net.
2. Did a pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz
3. Did the update for source, ports, and docs.
4. Did a cd /usr/src; make buildworld; make installworld; reboot


Now for some reason the ftpd doesn't provide a login prompt, just hangs. I
reinstalled wu-ftpd and the later version 2.4.2-beta16 and it still does
the same thing. I then made a custom kernel, rebooted, and still the same
thing.

httpd works fine and sendmail and everything looks fine...just ftp doesn't
work...

Any comments would be most appreciated.

Thanx,
Randy Katz

I picked this thing up for $5. I'd like to know what it does. With the
DIAG/NORMAL switch in the DIAG position, it spews this out, as 
captured by tcpdump. I am not wrapping lines at 80 columns, but at how
long the text below is instead. When in the NORMAL position, the 
terminal server sends something out, but tcpdump doesn't list it. Do 
we have a link-level packet dump? This particular terminal server has
16 ports, with ~7 lines per RS232 connector, coming to a pair (8 ports
per "snake") of 50-pin Centronics connectors. If anyone *thinks* they 
can help me, I would be much abliged.

Well, what does it dump **with**?

It's probably a login class problem.

Having managed to setup my various network connections,

How to get to the Internet from the Win95 Box via the network.
If any one can point me in the right direction I would be grateful.

Subject: freebsd 2.2.5 installation
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk

I posted the following to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc, but did not
get any responses.  Phil Jenvey at Walnut Creek CDROM suggested
forwarding it to you.

I've appended some additional information Phil asked me for at the end.

-----------------------
I'm experiencing problems installing FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE
on a Gateway 2000 Solo 2100 laptop (CPU Pentium 133MHz,
HDD 2.0GB, RAM 32MB) from it's internal Toshiba XM-1502B
cdrom (IDE ATAPI).

With the DEBUG option turned on during installation, the
last lines I see in /dev/ttyv1 are:

        DEBUG: Mounted FreeBSD CDROM from device /dev/wcd0c
        DEBUG: mkdir (/tmp)
        DEBUG: mkdir (/tmp..)
        DEBUG: Executing command 'gzip -c -d /stand/help/distributions.hlp.gz
        > /tmp/doc.tmp'
        DEBUG: command 'gzip -c -d /stand/help/distributions.hlp.gz >
        /tmp/doc.tmp' returned status of 0

At this point I'm kicked out of the installation to the

        "Installation completed with some errors"

screen.  Poking around the the shell on /dev/ttyv3, it looks the
everything worked until this point.  I've been able to go back
and manually execute the commands logged in /dev/ttyv1 so I don't
think any of these commands are causing the problem.

Anyone have any ideas on this?  Does anyone know what the next
commands executed during installation are?  Anyone have a complete
log of a successful installation I might be able to sift through?

thanks for any help.

I've tried this probably about eight times now with the same results.
I turned DEBUG on to get additional information regarding the problem.
Without DEBUG on, the same problem exists, there's just less information
logged on the pseudo terminals.

I'm booting directly off the freebsd CDROM, so there's no floppy
involved.

This occurs during the installation of the software.  So I've chosen
the installation profile (developer, minimal, I've tried a few), told
the script I was sure I wanted to proceed,  the installation script
creates a filesystem on my freebsd partition and then I briefly see

        "copying the boot floppy to /stand on root filesystem"

before I'm dumped to the

        "installation completed with some errors"

screen that tells me to go back and check for error messages on ttyv3.

The above confuses me.  I'm running Windows NT on this machine.
Since /stand/help/distributions.hlp.gz is on the freebsd partition,
I don't know how to access it from within Windows NT.  Is that
what you're asking me to do?
 
After the installation quits, I can go into vt4 and
manually execute the command,
 
 	'gzip -c -d /stand/help/distributions.hlp.gz'
 
and view a text file documenting the legal ramifications of
various encryption key sizes.  So, I'm assuming that the file
isn't corrupted.  Like I said in my email, I was able to manually
execute the three commands which I found in the DEBUG logs.
 
 	'find -x /stand | cpio -v -pdum /mnt'
 	'cd /mnt/stand; find etc |cpio -v -pdum /mnt'
 	'gzip -c -d /stand/help/distributions.hlp.gz > /tmp/doc.tmp'

1. Use FDISK to verify that the active partition bit is set on the FreeBSD
slice.
2.  Try installing BootEasy on the ID 0 disk.

This first Quantum doesn't like wide mode and jams up the bus.  As long as
the world is a happy place I wouldn't be worried.

You need to enable your ide controller; it's not responding to interrupts.

Summore:  The mouse is on COM1.  If I remove my modem, which is on COM2,
Freebsd finds both ports and the mouse works.  The modem is somehow
preventing COM1 from being accessed.  I'm lost.  What could cause this?
With the PC I got a plug and play modem.  Freebsd doesn't seem to find
this, though I haven't really looked into it.  Is pnp supported?  BTW the
motherboard does have a PS/2 port but its not connected.  

Thanks

That is what the link flags do -- they set the media type.  `Auto select'
is unpredicatble, especially with BNC media since there is no good way to
`detect' BNC connections like there is for UTP.  

I guess the question is why Windoze is having trouble -- is it having to
continually redetect the media type, resource conflict, ???

> Well, do anyone have a solution to this problem?

Use a better card? :-/  The 3c900 has a *very* small amount of buffer
space, enough that NFS packets get chopped up, severely hurting
performance.  I'm trying to rid ResNet of these cards so we can use the
Dayna Digital-based cards, which are cheaper and perform ten times better.

The 7880 is supported in the coming CAM code and may already be in
CURRENT.  You'd have to ask the XFree86 or XAccel people for specific AGP
card support.

You really want to be concerned about swap usage, this is probably an
easier-to-track barometer.  If your swap system is very active (lots of
in/out) you probably need more RAM.

Mr. Dyson?

This is basically what you get; after three attempted logins, login will
wait 10 seconds or so before prompting again.  Eventually it will timeout

Wow, sounds like a bug.  I'd try it again since CURRENT changes on a daily
basis.  If it still dies, we have some debugging to do.

So there is no partition table on this disk?

Hm, thanks for dredging this up.  The sync code must have a problem in the
BROKEN* case.  I suppose this is one for -hackers.

FWIW, I have a 3C900 also. It works OK under FBSD with the vx0 driver but I
can't get it to work at all under NT. The 3Com diagnostics find it OK but
it just doesn't work...it doesn't talk to the network. I got in a package
deal with my DSL line but I use a cheapie $20 "generic" ethernet card
instead...works great. The 3C900 is definitely un-impressive.

If you get the boot.flp and install FreeBSD with that, you will have the
option to select the XFree86 distribution to be installed.

It rather looks like you're going to have to get out the last backup
tape.

fsck is more prone than most to core dumping, which is definitely an
indication of less-than-adequate checks in the program.  In your case,
however, it wouldn't help much to fix it: it would just tell you that
it can't fix the file system.  Particularly inode 184982 is a problem:
it's obviously a partial directory.  The same appears to apply to
inode 185876.

If you want, I'll take a look if I can get in to the system.  I'll
need root privileges.  Contact me privately if you want to take me up
on this one.

No problem Ian.

The /var/yp/servers file shoud just contain the names of the
servers.  Im guessing in you case just the on machine name on 
one line.

Add the pluses to the end of the file. The + indicates that NIS
should be used if no match is found in the file.  Just add it
to the on the last line of the file.  The "+" is parsed by
the functions which read the file. 

For NFS, add entries to the /etc/fstab for the file systems
to mount.   For my systems clients I have these lines at the
end of the fstab:

 merlot:/home      /home      nfs     rw       0       0
 merlot:/usr       /a/usr     nfs     rw       0       0
 merlot:/spare     /spare     nfs     rw       0       0

You should get a copy of NFS and NIS by Hal Stern.  Its a little 
dated but covers all the basics.  (O'Reilly Press)

I installed freebsd on my second hard drive which is the secondary master,
during install i didnt
get any option to install the boot manager (I did the dangerously dedicated
thing) so
what do you suggest I do to be able to boot from the second drive.?

reading from the archives i am getting conflicting ideas so i thought i
would ask before i jump.

thanks...

dear questions@freebsd.org,

i have just installed a new freebsd that purchased from walnut creek,
freebsd-2.2.5, a few days ago on my new machine.  this is 486dx2-66 cpu
with 32meg ram and 2gig hard disk.  i installed x developer set, or can,
it is really quite easy and smooth but again there is no handbook as in
the previous version.  how can one install handbook from CD-ROM ?

i have used freebsd for some times and now i would like to know, or more
exactly is to learn, about  freebsd system.  in addtion to the
complete freebsd hand book, is there any source of information about
freebsd system ?

a lot of things that i simply want to learn.


with best regards,
pirat sriyotha

Run /stand/sysinstall as root, from the main menu, choose "Configure",
and then choose "Distributions". This lets you add FreeBSD distributions
after the initial install with the same interdace you used during
installation.

Every few months to half a year. Dot releases (which are essentially bug
fixes, such as 2.1.7.1 or 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 come at a higher rate
sometimes). Browse http://www.freebsd.org/releases/ for the history of
FreeBSD releases.

 hello everyone, i recently installed Freebsd(onle the bin part just to
check if it worked or not) the problem is that after i get past the boot
manager i get to the boot prompt.What do i do over there.
  I read somewhere that the command is wd0(1,a)/kernel but when i give
this command the screen continously gives the message:

	D:0x81 C:0 H:0 S:0

can anybody please help me with the problem?

The rest? - should there be any rest?  - That's the line that
/stand/sysinstall issues to format the partition! ;-)

The IDE controller is definitely enabled, in the bios it says:

Peripherals | Onboard IDE Controller: Both

(other values are: Primary, Secondary or Disabled)

DOS works fine with the drive... And while I know their IO routines aren't
exactly punishing - they must surely use IRQ's? - Even Windows'95 is quite
happy using it's Bus mastering drivers etc...

There must also be IRQs flying around during the probe phase as the kernel
comes up and ID's the drive?

If I look at a systat -vmstat while the drive is formatting I can see (under
interrupts):

wdc0  irq14


Listed... When I first start formatting the drive - the number of interrupts
goes up to around 100 or so (it's hard to see) - but after the 'timeouts' it
sticks at '1'. (How do I know your going to suggest a conflict? ;-)

Does the IDE driver just giveup after a timeout or something? - the machine
gets rapidly unstable after that...

Regards,

Karl

Page faults are generally not useful info.  That info is more useful to
me to make sure that I have minimized them.  There are sort-of three levels
of faults, one that requires I/O to complete, one that requires copying or
zeroing a page, and one that simply maps a page into memory.  These
are listed in descending time to process, and the times span several
orders of magnitude or more.

Yes, the paging I/O is the most important parameter, and too much I/O
will impact performance severely.  FreeBSD tries to minimize the amount
of paging I/O by careful page mgmt, but excessive paging will clobber
performance on any system.

One more note though, if you have excess RAM, the system will likely use
it as a very effective disk cache.  There is a point of diminishing returns.
With my workstation workload, it seems that I am at that point between
64MB and 128MB.  Performance is still reasonable at 32MB with my workload.
When running on 16-32MB, the system starts feeling like WinNT with 64MB.  I
normally run with 200+ MB, but with memory so cheap, why not? :-).

Take a look at /proc//map.  I suspect that the Emacs memory
management might be flabby.  To read the contents of the map file,
you might have to use the "cat" command, because other commands don't
access the file in a way that procfs wants.  If it looks like there
are alot of map entries, send me a copy of it.

Just a suggestion:  cp /usr/src/share/mk/* /usr/share/mk
I suspect that your bsd.info.mk file may be spooged.

A cold boot (to/with Win95) does not (re)set the media type ...

A review of the hardware indicates that there are no conflicts. Neither
Win95 nor FreeBSD indicate conflicts.

I agree.
Hovewer, I've set up an indentical PII with FreeBSD and NT 4.0 a month ago, 
and it works OK. I have no indication on the FreeBSD NFS performance on that
machine though ...

OK, but farther down in "/etc/log/messages" it say:

Thank you for info, and still after approximately 4 years with FreeBSD it
never cease to impress me the quality and promptness of the FreeBSD support
team!

Hello.

Does anyone know a free SQL-Database which run's under FreeBSD and where
I can
use embedded SQL in C-programs?

(I tried the gnu-sql-server, but it crashes with "invalid arguments in
msgsnd
and msgrcv calls" - yes, I compiled the kernel with the SYSV* options
:-)

Thanks in advance,

Thanks Doug, this particular email should not have been resent but my
Compuserve eMail suddenly decided to ignore deleted items and put
back into my outgoing mail a whole heap of stuff that it then
re-transmitted.

I managed within a couple of hours to get back in with the previous kernel
so I could have a look at what I had buttoned out in the kernel config.
Argh! I had commented out 'ahc0' the SCSI controller, I put this back in
re-configured and all was well.

I then posted the forum that all was well now and to ignore this item.

Briefly (and you will probably not remember this judging by the amount of
time you spend helping the community) you responded several months
ago on a problem trying to get X-Windows configured such that I could get
a stable screen. I last week re-visited 'www.xfree86.org' and found that
there is now a new Generic list (with signal timings and VESA entries)
within 1/2hr I managed to get everything working with 3 resolutions and
full
colour, a bit of tweaking with 'xvidtune' and everything up and running.

I add this for the benefit of anyone who is having a problem as I had as it
is well worth a visit there as things have improved dramatically since my
earlier visits.

     Hi
     
     I'm trying to use mgetty (v1.0) to drive ppp (as explained in the 
     handbook : I've recompiled mgetty with AutoPPP support). I'm using 
     FreeBSD v2.2.5, installed from a CDROM.
     
     I've got a problem : the initial connection (from a W**-95 client) is 
     done all right (I can ping an machine from the client through the 
     Ethernet I/F of my FreeBSD machine), but ppp does not stop after the 
     end of the connection. Thus, mgetty is never awakened, and I can't 
     make another connection from the client to the FreeBSD server (because 
     ppp does not know how to answer the modem call).
     
     Do I need to patch ppp, so that it "exit()s" when the ppp connection 
     is over or is there a newer version of ppp ? (or am I missing some 
     black magic in the configuration files ?)
     
     Thanks in advance

Yes, I had the same problem recently.
Download the latest ppp sources from http://www.freebsd.org/~brian

BTW, do you know, if Win95 supports PAP authentication, PRED1 and DEFLATE
compressions? Do you use `set encrypt MSChap' ?

It seems that PPP is giving us some trouble these days, isn't it ?

My turn:

/dev/cuaa1 exists, kernel recognizes existence of serial port 1 (comm 2 w/
external modem) but when I call

#ppp PC

I get the ppp prompt, but before that I get an "Interactive mode";

If I say

>dial PC

it says it is trying to dial, but no access is made to the modem.

Ideas ? (I don't have my ppp.conf here rigt now, or I would have attached it)

TIA !

Hi all..

Recently, we've been noticing that our main server is generating kernel
messages saying:

file table is full

I've tried altering some options in the kernel configuration file and
recompiling it etc. (noteably CHILD_MAX & OPEN_MAX which i've set at
1000) but we're still getting the same error messages every day after
the server's been up for 5-6 hours.

Quite a few processes are running on this server including sendmail,
radiusd, ipop3d, named all of which are used quite intensively so
there will be a lot of open files in the system.

Is the file table setting #DEFINE'd anywhere, if so, where??

Thanks in advance,

                                       .

Hallo!

I have got one short question: how can I set up a working (Mirco$oft 
compatible) mouse for the console? I took a look to /stand/sysinstall (and it
works for X of course), but I need it for the console as well.

Thanks,
           Stefan.

*** 1 Warning: this is a very long message because it contains a lot of 
debugging data. Sorry.
*** 2 Warning: please reply to me because I'm not in the list.


Hello,
	I'm network manager at an ISP in Argentina. We have two kind of access 
servers:
-Cisco 2500 routers.
-Bay Networks Remote Access Concentrator boards (RAC 5399 on a Bay 
Networks System 5000).

	I can't get a TCP connection work from my FBSD at home any of the 
many we have here as servers when dialing to the System 5000.

	The most strange think is that the problem appears in a very 
particular scenario. Let me summarize:

TCP connection:
-From Windows to * throw Cisco: Ok.
-From Windows to * throw Bay: Ok.
-From FBSD to Solaris throw Cisco: Ok.
-From FBSD to FBSD throw Cisco: Ok.
-From FBSD to Solaris throw Bay: Ok.
-From FBSD to FBSD throw Bay: No way!

Yesterday I tested and collected as much information as possible:

I logged from my FBSD to a Solaris (200.10.100.10) and to a FBSD 
(ns3.sminter.com.ar). I did it throw Cisco and throw Bay.

At the bottom of this message is a uuencoded tgz that has:
-ppp.log. Log of both connections.
-cisco/typescript: capture of a session where I show netstat, ifconfig, 
and how telnet worked.
-cisco/tcpdump: tcpdump -vv of the ppp interface.
-bay/typescript: capture of a session where I show netstat, ifconfig, 
and how telnet did not worked.
-bay/tcpdump: tcpdump -vv of the ppp interface.

All the FBSD involved are 2.1.7.1 (sorry, I hadn't have time to upgrade 
yet :)).
My support engeneer at Bay is getting a copy of these message. I'll let 
you know if I get any feedback from him.

Thanks and regards.

hi,
recently i found a kernel patch for 386BSD 0.1 on a CDROM
that allowed to run tcp connections over (i think) a kiss
device.
from discussions on this list i assume that TNOS, JNOS and
KA9Q-NET have been ported to FreeBSD, but i'm not shure if
they provide all the functionalyty i want. (e.g. it should
be possibile to connect via ssh for remote system-
administration and run multi casting applications)
has somebody modyfied the 386BSD patches for FreeBSD,
and if so where can i find them?

also is there a list of ham radio related software for
FreeBSD (i've seen such a list with a short description of
each program and where to get it for linux)?

cheers, roland

FreeBSD is based on 4.4BSD, so the ufs there is 4.4ufs, in
little-endian mode. I don't know what Rhapsody uses.

MiniSQL		- http://www.hughes.com.au/
MySQL		- http://www.tcx.se/
PostgreSQL	- http://www.postgresql.org/

All three are in the ports, under "databases".  All three have their own C
APIs.  All three are more or less SQL, though none are quite ANSI.  All three
are "free" to one extent or another - read the respective licences yourself.

But I'm using 2.2.5-STABLE. Can I pull rundos from -CURRENT somehow?

So doscmd has been removed from the ports, and put into the base -current?

Not was not nice done, as there is no -stable branch. I don't want to have to
go
current right now... Can I hope it will be in 2.2.6?

 Thats *exactly* the problem I had when I reinstalled a server with
2.2.5-RELEASE !

 Background:
   I had one server with 3.0-971117-SNAP installed on it; mgetty + user
PPP worked very well in this situation.
   Then I had to reinstall the server (partitions were corrupted due to
malfunctioning memory that has been installed later). Since this was a
(probably unstable) SNAP I decided I should go for 2.2.5-RELEASE.
   After I have reinstalled everything, compiled mgetty taking care to
insert "CFLAGS=-DAUTO_PPP" in the Makefile (shouldn't the packager
patches be modified to do that ?), configured and rebooted the user ppp
comported weird: Placing a call & connecting as well communication was OK,
but when the uses hang up the PPP daemon wouldn't exit.

 I have tried to manually patch the src/usr.sbin/ppp/main.c file based on
the CVS log, but nothing changed.
 Thing is that 3.0-971117-SNAP has *NO* problem like that. And further
more, the version of ppp in the 2.2.5-RELEASE seems to be far too old,
many commands that appeared in the 3.0-current branch I couldn't find in
the 2.2.5 branch...

Yes, although there are slight differences in the script
in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf ie 'predl' was not supported at 
2.2.2-RELEASE also I have buttoned out the Hayes M0 code
so I can hear what the modem is doing if anything.

The response is as follows :-
sylmex> ppp
Can' open /etc/ppp/secret
Warning: No password entry for this host in ppp.secret
Warning: All manipulation is allowed by anyone in the world
Log level is 281
Using interface: tun0
Interactive mode.
ppp ON sylmex > dial provider
Dial attempt 1 of 10
Phone: (0845) 0800 1000
dial OK!
login failed
ppp ON sylmex > Packet mode.
ppp ON sylmex > close
ppp ON sylmex > quit all

There are some pequliarities with Compuserve in that
the login is 2 numerics seperated by a comma and the
password must have a special character in it somewhere
and in my case this is 2 words seperated by a 'space'
I don't know what 'ppp' will do about this !!

The installation seems to be hanging for some reason just at the start of
installion. I have (had) windows 95 on my disk. I partitioned the disk
drive using partition magic anyway I ended up removing the file allocation
table FAT, so i couldn't read windows 95 partition. I then proceeded to
format it and decided just to install freebsd on its own. I got through
the entire process including making file systems /usr /var and so on. When
I had selected all the packages I wanted I went to install it. For some
reason then it just hanged at the first file, xzoom.tgz i think. 
message at the bottom read xzoom.tgz read successful opening pack (001)
something close to that. And the hard disk light was on all the time while
it hanged which was for about 10 minutes. Could there be something wrong
with the CD. I bought it from Micro Mail in Cork Ireland. Can you please
help. Thanks. I currently have absolutely nothing left on my machine.

Yes, but I don't want it to time out and still prompt for a login. I want
it to close the connection entirely...is there any way around that?

It seems my FreeBSD box is getting more that its share of spam mail.

If one wants to totally re-id the machine and move it to another IP address,
how should that be done so that a cold boot will bring it up on the new
address?  I would like to put it on my spare IP address, where it should
not get any incoming hits.

What files would need to be changed to accomplish this?

Also, are there easy ways to block certain IP address regions or send 
incoming mail from those addresses into the bit bucket?  There seem
to be several addresses from whence the spam emanates.

Thanks

	On my new platform, I've got FBSD rooted on disk 1, not 0.
	But the boot prompt is

	sd(0, a)

	which continually dies and tried to reboot.  What file to
	I change to have the target `unit' get set to a 1?

	By hand:  sd(1, a)

	works just fine.

	Thanks!!

	gary

Hi,

The sound blaster is at the adresses: 0x168 and 0x36e  irq 11

the board is perfectly recognized on win95 but not

Why is the 0x36e address not declared in the FreeBSD kernel
config file ???

I run a FreeBSD 2.2.2-R box as a printer server for a couple of days. The
system worked fine before with 2.1.6-R for more than a year.

There are a lot of printer queues (about 70) and a lot of complex(?) input
filter scripts. Sometimes the system is heavily loaded.

Occasionally some queues stop working with an error message like `fork:
resource temporarily unavailible'. So

(i)   I recompiled the kernel with MAXUSERS=20 to be sure,
(ii)  I removed all limits on # of processes in /etc/login.conf
      (and ran cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf),
(iii) but nevertheless the (bash) filter scripts still had a soft limit
      of 40 processes which seems to be to low.

So where does this limit come from? I've no idea.

As a workaround I modified /etc/rc in this way:
	(
  	ulimit -Hu 300 ; ulimit -Su 300;
	echo -n ' printer';             lpd
	)

Now the filter scripts run with a soft limit of 300 processes which seems
to help.

Has anybody a better idea? Or do I misunderstand something?

Thanks

Well, I have to plead ignorance as to what rundos is, and I don't think
that doscmd was in the ports.  As to your last question, no, doscmd will not
be available in 2.2.6; it depends on some architectural changes that have
not been brought over into -stable.

Has anyone gotten this software working on their system?
I haven't found the documentation detailed enough to
point me in the right direction with the issue I'm 
facing

When I use the -d flag to get some debugging information
I get the following messages:

chdir: No such file or directory
ircd: Error in daemon path: .

The config.h file shows CHROOTDIR undefined so I don't
know why it's attempting the chdir.  The daemon path error
is also a mystery.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jon

Hello there..

I have a question!?!

Does the freebsd currently support Linksys EtherFast 100megabit cards? Not
just
the 10 megabit cards? I have noticed EtherPCI is listed but unfortunately
the drivers
for this card are different from the 10.. :)

					Thanks, Lorenzo

The FreeBSD scheduler does not seem to respect the niceness 20 of a process.

-----[snip]-----------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------[snap]-----

As to my understanding, a niceness of 20 on BSD systems is supposed to set
a process to some kind of "idle"-priority, leaving any potentially needed
CPU-cycle to other applications.

The machine has been up for 106 days, mostly doing nothing than running the
rc5 client from distributed.net. It is not swaping or doing any other
IO-intensive jobs, it's just those two processes.

Btw, it is FreeBSD-2.2.1-RELEASE. cvsup is syncing sources with
cvsup.de.freebsd.org, but no "make world" or new kernels have been build.

Hi,

I'm trying to get the complete modem result codes entered in the ppp.log
file without much success.  The script correctly sees the CONNECT but I
don't get any of the rest of the information from the modem.  I've tried
the REPORT command(found in chat man page), but that seems to prevent
the dialing from taking place at all.  Has anybody tried this?

Thanks,
Fran

Try running these commands on the FreeBSD machines:

  sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0
  sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0

Just a guess :-)

ok... maybe i've done something immeasurably stupid but i am totally
stumped right now.  suid binaries just stopped working on my system.
it does not appear that they assume the new permissions they are
supposed to.  this includes mail, su, netstat, top, etc etc.

i have tried (1) logging on as another user (2) turning off nis
(3) creating a new user totally separate from nis (4) going back to
kernel.GENERIC (i.e., rebooting)

but to no avail.

i just cvsuped and am making a new kernel... for what that's worth.

this happened toa  running system, out of the blue.  first sign was
that su stopped working.

i've inspected the binaries and files in question and the suid bit is
on, the group is correct, etc.

thanks in advance for any help--also please cc: steve@farrell.org, as
i filter the mailing list someplace where i might not get your response
quickly under these circumstances.

Can somebody please help me????
I called Wallnut Creek CD-ROM for help, But everybody I've spoken to there
doesn't have a clue!!!! 
I just purchased the FreeBSD 2.2.5 CDROM's & Book last week, and I'm having
a problem with ping the server (FreeBSD Server). I have checked my network,
I cable tested all CAT-5 connections, the hub has a light for each station
including Free BSD-Server, I can ping the NT Server sitting next to it, I
can ping my PM3, I can ping all work stations, But I can not ping
Workstations from FreeBSD. I can do the internal ping 127.0.0.1.....
I'm using the 3COM 509 NIC
ifconfig is set correctly? I have no errors when booting FreeBSD....
Please help!!!! I have 3-T's installed today & can't get UNIX ISP Server to
work!!!!!

Ah--yes of course that was it (thanks! duh!)

The question now is why did it get set to nosuid?  It appears that
mounting /usr/ports nosuid made /usr nosuid (?!).  Is that what
should happen?  It took me totally by surprise (obviously =)

	The login.conf mechanism in 2.2.2 was still very new, and had a lot of
bugs. I strongly suggest that you upgrade to 2.2.5-Stable, and make sure
that you avoid using :foo-cur type definitions in login.conf as they
seem to cause a lot of problems.

Good luck,

Doug

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

I frequently experience the 'table is full' problem, and I can't track
it down reliably.  Recently, it was suggested to look for runaway
processes.  First, I found that sometimes Navigator 4 had gone
ballistic occupying 90% of the CPU while "doing nothing".  So beware.

But netscape is not always running when this problem arises.  Nor do I
think that the system limits in my kernel are too low.  I checked out
sys/conf/param.c and deduced that a MAXUSER setting of 10 allows 6400
open file descriptors.  That sounds like plenty to me.

So, I'm still wondering whether there's some way of determing how many
open descriptors each process has.  Surely this info is in a data
structure somewhere, no?  Is there an app or functions to access this?

thanks,
David Kulp

	Depending on whose server you're using, I would guess that you failed
to correctly define the DPATH and SPATH. The first refers to the path to
the data files like ircd.conf and ircd.motd. The second refers to the
path of the binary. Your problem is complicated by the fact that -d
isn't actually debugging info. :) 

	Assuming you're installing ircd into your home directory, try a setup
like this:

/home/yourlogin/ircd/conf
/home/yourlogin/ircd/bin

	Then you put the ircd.conf and ircd.motd in ~/ircd/conf, and the binary
in ~/ircd/bin. Then, in include/config.h you define DPATH as
/home/yourlogin/ircd/conf and SPATH as /home/yourlogin/ircd/bin/ircd. If
all that doesn't work, put the ircd.conf and ircd binary in the same
directory and start it like this:  ./ircd -d .  (with the period).

Hope this helps,

Doug

it would be better to send this sort of question to freebsd-isdn.

AFAIK the AVM Fritzcard is supported by isdn4bsd, which can be obtained
from ftp.consol.de under /pub. You MUST login as isdn4bsd.

In fact, here's a comment from the AVM driver:
	-hm     checked with an AVM Fritz!Card (PCB version: A1 3.0 FC)
so I guess it is supported.

Just change name and/or number in /etc/rc.conf.

Then you must also change the IP adress in the DNS, and then you will get your
spam again.

If you want to "start afresh", then first unsubscribe from all mailinglists.
Get a new name for your machine; ip-adress too, if you really have enough to
spare. Boot, and resubscribe, and tell all your friends your new adress. But if
you don't want spam, don't write anything public...

Take a look in /etc/mail, there you have a spamlist maintained by

List Members:

Compaq ProSignia 486 DX/2 66 manufactured in April/1993 with an onboard
ncr53c710 SCSI controller card for hard drives only. Populated with a
Seagate Barracuda (Narrow) and an HP drive (Barracuda partitioned with DOS
(FAT) and majority Windows NT Workstation (NTFS)).

An Adaptec AHA-1740 populated with a WangDAT Model 3100 tape drive and a
Panasonic (MATSHITA) CD-ROM (CR-508).

Has anyone successful installed FreeBSD with this configuration (minus the
population specific, but with the two SCSI controller specifics)?

Any assistance would be appreciated. I would like to devote drive1 (HP
drive) to FreeBSD and still be able to multi-boot to Windows NT, DOS, and
FreeBSD.

Norman

Try this, on one line, as your `set dial' line in
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf

 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ
OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT \\c \\n"

We're currently using the POP/IMAP server that comes with PINE
(version 4.38). We get occasional problems due to timeouts caused by 
large attachments in users mailboxes.

Is there a 'better' POP server out there?

Is anybody using IMAP yet ?

Thanks,

joe

I'm having a hard time interpreting the man pages regarding fixed disk
configuration and want to be absolutely clear how to do this before I end
up trashing some important data..

The system I'm attempting to alter has a single 2.1G hard drive in it,
currently separated 1/2 freebsd and the other half windows 95.  Win95 has
outlived its usefulness, and I'd now like to use that entire partition for
FreeBSD. 

Current config:
  Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
  /dev/wd0a       49231    16744    28549    37%    /
  /dev/wd0s2f    843935   740758    35663    95%    /usr
  /dev/wd0s2e     49231     8745    36548    19%    /var
  /dev/wd0s1    1023824   405456   618368    40%    /dosc

The FreeBSD boot manager selects the OS at bootup currently, and the dos
partition appears to be the first partition.  My biggest worry is that if
I newfs wd0s1, I'll never be able to boot this machine again.  

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could someone give me the basic steps
I would take to perform this alteration?  (please cc: directly, I'm not on
the list)

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

I see there is now an X server from these folks that supports the Matrox
Millenium II.  

http://www.suse.de/~hohndel/FreeBSD/

The only problem is the only thing there are the binaries.  No readme, no
xf86config...  Simply pointing my "X" symlink at it doesn't work, xinit
complains about only running servers named "XF86_*".  I tried grabbing the
modified xf86config they supply for Linux, but it coredumps on me.

Has anyone got this to work?  If so, how?

TIA,

Charles Sprickman

4.2 like FFS.  The "Fast File System" was written for 4.2BSD and
hasn't been changed that much since.  I don't know what distinctions
OpenStep and Rhopsody make.  As somebody else noted, FreeBSD is
4.4BSD.

Just installed the cvsup package for 2.2.5-R  when I try to use it i get:

ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXaw.so.6.1"

It seems that I am missing a dependency.  What do I need to install?

Thank you,

Is freeBSD version 2.1.7.1 identical with version 2.1.7?

No.  It represents the first (minor) modification since 2.1.7.

I'm learning to appreciate FreeBSD more each day I work with it.  Now,
if I were to set up a freeware unix network, I'd run it with FreeBSD
servers and Linux workstations.
 
I have a problem, though.  On both of my FreeBSD servers, I can't access
email from remote workstations.  Server to server transmits work ok, and
any mail sent to my linux box gets forwarded just fine.  
 
Is there some other security function to turn on, to allow remote
SMTP/POP3 access?  

Thanks in advance --

Mike.

Yes, it does.  Read the LINT file in the same directory as the sample

Hello.

I'd like to know, if the following pc-configuration is able to run the
last Version of FreeBSD:

-  AMD/K6
-  Tekram DC390 SCSI-II Controller (I read a long time ago something
        from a Tekram-driver, but I haven't found it in the
compatibility list...)
- Soundblaster AWE 64 P'nP(I'd like to use ROSEGARDEN with the MIDI
interface)
- NoName NE200 ISA P'nP Ethernet-Card (Sorry, but it seems that
        Linux ['cuse me again] detect's it with the isapnp-tools)

Thanks in advance.
(Joachim.Jaeckel@d.kamp.net)

Guess not many FreeBSD folks have installed Tertiary and/or Quaternary IDE
controllers.  I have an open bug report on this:

    kern/5627: Tertiary/Quaternary IDE Ctlrs: A few kernel mods needed

but it basically just boils down to patching in the mod Vallo suggested to
isa.h with the appropriate port addresses:

             #define IO_WD3 0x1e8
             #define IO_WD4 0x168

(assuming these are standard wcd2 and wcd3 addresses and not just Creative
Lab's numbers) and then you can add the controller(s) to your kernel config
file.

Probably shouldn't be in the GENERIC kernel I wouldn't think as it takes
time to probe the controllers, and it'd just slow booting for the majority
that don't have one or both of these.  But having the isa.h mod in so a kernel patch isn't necessary would be a plus.

popper is not turned enabled (or even installed) by default.  Install
the port or package and edit /etc/inetd.conf to enable it.

You wouldn't want to install packages at once.
First of all, you'd need a lot of diskspace.
Secondly, there are several packages for the same function, eg for news there
might be both suck, newsfetch, inn, leafnode, which does about the same, with
variations. You'd want only one of the above.

You probably haven't installed a daemon for pop3. Look in /usr/ports/mail for
pop.

Hi,

I am using 2.2.2-RELEASE (BTW - man page is out of date; it refers to 
/etc/sysconfig instead of /etc/rc.conf).

I set up yp/nis, and everything appears to work fine (rpc.passwdd, 
ypserv, ypcat, ypchsh, ypwhich, etc.). I can make my user lists and verify 
them locally and remotely using ypcat.

I can also change passwords and finger information w/ ypchsh and 
yppasswd (and /usr/bin/passwd for NIS-only logins). No problems at all.

However, whenever I try to login (telnet, ftp, or console) w/ an NIS
identity, I get the normal "login incorrect" message. Yes, I am typing 
the correct password :)

Do you need a different version of /usr/libexec/login for NIS? I would
think authentication would be built into getpwent(), but I could be wrong. 

I can not figure this out...

Thanks!

Kevin

How about describing where you got with the instructions on page 423

Some more info:

I enabled debugging mode, and no login attemps are logged by ypserv. The 
only logging is done by syslogd into /var/log/messages (invlaid login, etc.).

It is not even _trying_ to use NIS. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin

Download the unix archive off the datafellows site. (www.datafellows.com)
untar it. Read instructions. I believe the commands were:
./Configure
make
make install

Something along those lines.
I put a script in my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ directory to ensure the daemon
runs on startup. Then you can use secure shell to another machine. Or get
a client and you can ssh into your box.

I've just ordered ApplixWare for my FreeBSD v2.2.5 system and I was
wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions or advice for me
before I install it on my system?  I would like to install it as cleanly
as possible so I would greatly appreciate help!

I have a few questions about getting PPP going on a machine which is
primarily intended for use on a LAN.

The LAN connection is fine, but PPP just doesn't work.  I had it working
at one time, but since then I had to reinstall, and unfortunately didn't
have any backups.  

Anyhow...

/etc/resolv.conf 
domain	xbill.net
nameserver	127.0.0.1

/etc/host.conf
bind
hosts

I'm trying to get PPP together just so that I can do the occasional 'sup.
What do I need to do here?  I think I'm missing something to the effect of 
ifconfig_tun0_alias="192.153.35.136 netmask 0xffffffff" in rc.conf.  But
that still doesn't tell me how I am going to resolv names for the
Internet.  

Anyhow, forgive me if I'm missing something simple, but I've been working
on this for a few days now and I'm feeling kinda frazzled.  :)

Thanks,
Jim

Ok,

I must be getting old, my memory is failing.  I forgot how to add command 
references into man (ie: I just added resh, but make install does not install 
the man page).  How do I do it???

Please respond directly, I'm not on the questions list.

Thanks!

Eddie

2.2.2-RELEASE is rather out-of-date at this point.

Did you add the appropriate entries to /etc/passwd and /etc/group?
For more information, see man 5 passwd, in particular the section
entitled "YP/NIS INTERACTION".

FreeBSD supports linux elf and a.out binaries.  This compatibility is
very good but there are a few programs that will not run.  E.g., vnc
for linux doesn't work (but there's a freebsd port for it so it's not
a big deal).  Staroffice, applixware and many other important apps run 
fine.

Perhaps it would help if you listed the software you needed to run,
and people could then give specific answers as to how well these
binaries work.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Hello.

I'm trying to get my CD-ROM to work with FreeBSD 2.2.2 in preparation for
the 2.2.6 release. The CD-ROM is hooked up on the secondary controller.
(For various reasons I don't want it hooked up as a slave on the primary.)
Unfortunately I cannot get FreeBSD to recognize my secondary controller
(works fine in other OS's).
On boot I get:

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0):  wd0:
2015MB (4127760 sectors), 4095 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S 
wdc1 not found at 0x170


Here is how I have my config file set up:
controller	wdc0	at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr
disk		wd0	at wdc0 drive 0
disk		wd1	at wdc0 drive 1

controller	wdc1	at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr
disk		wd2	at wdc1 drive 0
disk		wd3	at wdc1 drive 1

options		ATAPI		#Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus
#options		ATAPI_STATIC	#Don't do it as an LKM
device		wcd1	#IDE CD-ROM

options		"CMD640"	#Possibly get Secondary IDE to work

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the controller working? 
Thanks in advance.

	There's a file in the / directory called boot.config. Edit this
file and put "sd(1,a)kernel", if that is your target disk. This file
just stores the default boot parameters that you would normally have to
type at the boot: prompt.
	On my system, I boot off a floppy (My system is also on disk 1, but
it's a SCSI and my first hard disk is IDE), so I modified the floppy's
/boot.config file to read "1:sd(0,a)kernel" -- which works fine for me.

Hi.  I really have two questions.  First, I ignorantly ran MAKEDEV on my
one and only scsi hard disk, sd0.  Now booting mounts only the root
partition. Is there an easy way to recover from this?

Try first listing your /etc/fstab (should still work), and compare the
file names there with what you have in /dev.  Before you can modify
things in /dev, you need to mount root read/write.  Normally you do
that with

  # mount -u /

but this may not work if you've hosed the device entries.  In that
case, you may be a candidate for the fixit floppy.

Once you have got that up and running, you should be able to remake
the SCSI nodes with, say,

  # cd /dev
  # ./MAKEDEV sd0

Choose the highest device number you need.

That's a private site.  It seems it's suffering from a bit of link
rot.  Try http://www.freebsd.org/search.html#mailinglists instead.

Aha!  I see it now.  Thanks for the help, Doug.

>I would guess that you failed to correctly define the DPATH and SPATH.
Yes.  When I read the Makefile, I assumed that IRCDDIR would be hard
coded (prepended) to the PATH definitions.

>Your problem is complicated by the fact that -d isn't actually

You're right again.  I definately misread that part of the man page
and don't know why I thought that provided debug info.

And since you're an IRC expert I hope I can ask a couple more
questions that pertain to IRC.  I'm trying to setup a private IRC,
not join in with other servers.  I just want a limited set of
clients to be able to log onto my server and chat.

1.) Considering my intent for IRC (non published, member only,
probably less than 20 or so clients connecting) is there any
benefit to running it from inetd as opposed to just starting
the ircd daemon from /etc/rc.config?

2.) Are the channels that show up on the IRC client configurable
from the server or are they built into the client software?  I'd
like to have specific channel names show up when a member connects
to the server.

3.) Are there any java based irc clients available as freeware or
for a fee, that I can incorporate into a web page to interact
with the server in addition to the ircii client software?

Thanks again for your help,
Jon

None :-(  AFAIK, Win95 just does stacker.

Yep - that's the little login window you get with the ``connect''

Sounds like it - can you give more details ?  Are you using the 
latest ppp from http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian ?

Well, say you've got

myname	mysecret	1.2.3.4	myname

you can then have a label called ``myname'' in ppp.link{up,down} and 
it'll get used instead of the profile you were using before logging 
in.

Yep.  This is a bug really.  It was originally only tested with the 
FreeBSD box on the client side.  I've been meaning to fix this, but 
haven't gotten 'round to it :-|

Your config looks ok.  Can you post some logs ?  There's some 
interesting stuff at http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html.

The log files will identify where we're ``hanging''.

>From the (2.2.5-R) natd man page (ahem ahem maybe you should RTFM next time):
    The following steps are necessary before attempting to run natd:


     1.   Get FreeBSD version 2.2 or higher.  Versions before this do not sup-
          port divert(4) sockets.


     2.   Build a custom kernel with the following options:

            options IPFIREWALL
            options IPDIVERT

          Refer to the handbook for detailed instructions on building a custom
          kernel.


     3.   Ensure that your machine is acting as a gateway.  This can be done
          by specifying the line

            gateway_enable=YES

          in /etc/rc.conf, or using the command

            sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1


     4.   If you wish to use the -n or -interface flags, make sure that your
          interface is already configured.  If, for example, you wish to spec-
          ify tun0 as your interface, and you're using ppp(8) on that inter-
          face, you must make sure that you start ppp prior to starting natd.


     5.   Create an entry in /etc/services:

            natd          6668/divert  # Network Address Translation socket

          This gives a default for the -p or -port flag.


     Running natd is fairly straight forward.  The line

       natd -interface ed0

     should suffice in most cases (substituting the correct interface name).

     Once natd is running, you must ensure that traffic is diverted to natd:


     1.   You will need to adjust the /etc/rc.firewall script to taste.  If
          you're not interested in having a firewall, the following lines will
          do:

            /sbin/ipfw -f flush
            /sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via ed0
            /sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any
          The second line depends on your interface (change ed0 as appropri-
          ate) and assumes that you've updated /etc/services with the natd en-
          try as above.  If you specify real firewall rules, it's best to
          specify line 2 at the start of the script so that natd sees all
          packets before they are dropped by the firewall.  The firewall rules
          will be run again on each packet after translation by natd, minus
          any divert rules.


     2.   Enable your firewall by setting

            firewall_enable=YES
          in /etc/rc.conf. This tells the system startup scripts to run the
          /etc/rc.firewall script.  If you don't wish to reboot now, just run
          this by hand from the console.  NEVER run this from a virtual ses-
          sion unless you put it into the background.  If you do, you'll lock
          yourself out after the flush takes place, and execution of
          /etc/rc.firewall will stop at this point - blocking all accesses
          permanently.  Running the script in the background should be enough
          to prevent this disaster.

It means that you're trying to use the same IP address as some other
system.

I tried installing 'skip' from the ports and my system crashed very
shortly after the driver was loaded on reboot.

Several possibilities come to mind, I am hoping one of you kind experts
could help me guess which it is:

1) I am running 2.2.5-RELEASE, and the port does not apply to that
2) I have ddp installed in the kernel, and it conflicts
3) I am just very unlucky, and it really should have worked.

If it is *supposed* to work, i can spend a bit of time trying to find
out why it doesn't.

Hello,

I'm experiencing difficuties with Perl-dependent ports.

When I try to download a port that has Perl as a dependency, the make
process fails to recognize Perl is on the system, so tries to install it.
It fails, because it discovers it's already installed. Then it tells
me to uninstall it, then reinstall. But as it turns out, this fails too.
I have tried twice uninstalling and reinstalling, and installing over the
current installation. No change. 

Perl 5.004_04 is on the system, in /usr/bin, and there is a symlink
to it in /usr/local/bin. Perl works fine. Modules work fine, if I 
manually download them.

I CVSUP the ports collection from the RELENG_2_2 branch about every
week. I am running FreeBSD-2.2.5.

I don't think reinstalling is the answer here. This is behaving like a
database problem. Is there a file I can edit to persuade the ports
installation process that Perl is installed?

Thanks for your input...

kosmos@kosmos$ cd p5-Penguin
kosmos@kosmos$ sudo make install

>> Checksum OK for Penguin-3.00.tar.gz.
===>  Extracting for p5-Penguin-3.00
===>  p5-Penguin-3.00 depends on executable: perl5.00401 - not found

      If so, you may wish to ``pkg_delete perl-5.00404'' and install
      this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of perl-5.00404
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.

Does freeBSD support the Diamond Stealth S32000 (4mb) video cards?
Also I would like to know what configurations to the x-system to run it.
I'm still a novice at this stuff.

hello,

I'm trying to install freebsd, but when booting up from the boot
floppy I keep getting the message 'panic: double fault'.  then
on the next line:  'syncing disks...' and the system seems to freeze
up on me.  What's going on here?

Thanks,

Hello,
I have recently been trying to get the staroffice port to work with
freebsd-current to no avail.  I get it compiled, but when I try to run it,
it says:

'libXmu.so.6'
Anyone have a clue?
Thanks!

I've noticed several people having trouble turning their perl scripts into
commands that can be run directly. 

Same problem here. Is this a known issue or is there a common mistake which
we are all making?

Here's my scenario:

made the perl script "dosomething.pl"

as the fist line I put "#!/usr/bin/perl"

Although I installed perl to a different directory, I copied the the "perl"
binary to the standard directory as the first line expects.

I "chmod +x" to get it to be able to execute.

And of course when I try to execute it, I get "Command not found"

Somebody responded to one of the other e-mail questions I browsed and said
to try "./" before the perl script command. 

It works, but why do I have to do it?

Thanks, Tim

Hi .. in your shell you have a PATH enviroment (the DOS PATH works about
the same :) ) ... when you try to execute a command, it "searches" the
path to try and find the file you are trying to execute.  If the directory
in which you are at that moment is not in the path, it won't find the 
executable.

If you use tcsh .. do a  
printenv PATH

to see what your path looks like.

You basically have three options ...

1. move the executable to a directory in your path
2. make a "bin" directory in your home directory, add that to your path
   int your start-up . scripts AND move the executable to that directory
3. Add ./ to your path - if you do this, it wil always also look in the
   directory you are currently in to execute a command HOWEVER - always add
   this to the end of your path (if you want to do this) as some people
   often place files like "ls" in their home directories that isn't
   really a ls but do all kinds of cute things to your file permissions :)

Personally I prefer 2 :)

Hope this explains it ... if I didn't say anything wrong :)

	I have that library in /usr/X11R6/lib. Do you have X installed? And do
you have that directory in your library path?  I'm no expert on
ldconfig, but I have the following in /etc/rc.conf (on a 2.2.5-Stable
system): 

ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib" # shared
library

	Try putting that in and rebooting (assuming you have X installed).

Good luck,

Doug

	I assume from your question that you're a new user. (Don't worry, we
were all new once. :) You might consider using a symlink in /usr/bin
instead of copying the binary. This saves you a tiny bit of disk space
(which may or may not be a factor) but more importantly the more you get
used to symlinks the more trouble you can save yourself. :)  Do man ln
in a shell to get more info if you need it.

	In Unix (unlike DOS) the binaries in the directory you are currently in
may or may not be in your path, depending on certain factors. This is
done mostly for security so that some malicious person can't drop
something into your directory like 'ls' which is actually a script which
erases your home directory (or something worse). 

	For now, you should develop the habit of typing ./binaryname for things
you want to execute in the directory you're in. By the time you don't
need to do that anymore, you'll have figured out how to avoid it on your
own. :)

	I also highly recommend visiting http://www.freebsd.org/ and have a
look around. There is an excellent tutorial for new users in the
documentation section.

Good luck,

Doug

What version are you trying to install??? What is your hardware
configuration? Some versions (2.2.2 being one of them, IIRC), had
trouble booting the install disk on a machine with 48MB of RAM.

Because the current directory is not in the path.

Because, especially as root, you don't want to execute whatever program which
happens to be in the directory you are in.

You want to execute the programs which are in your path.

eg /bin/ls, not /home/eviluser/ls, which could be the script
"rm -rf/"
if you are standing in /home/eviluser, this bad_guy could have made such a
script.

I think it also supports MSPPC:

CCP: Received Configure Request (1) state = Req-Sent (6) 
CCP:  MSPPC[6] 
CCP:  STAC[5] 
CCP: SendConfigRej(Req-Sent) 
CCP:  MSPPC[6] 
CCP:  STAC[5] 

Are there any plans to implement STAC/MSPPC ?

Yes, thanks, I've figured out how to use PAP under Win95.

There is an option `Encrypted password required' (not exact, sorry,
I have Russian OSR2 ;-).

When setting it ON it is only possible to use CHAP authentication,
when it is set OFF (default) it is possible to use both PAP and CHAP,
as requested by the server. I think this info would be useful in FAQ.

But when I use pap+passwdauth it is not possible to assign a static
IP number to PAP user.

IMHO, it would be useful if ppp assigned IP number from ppp.secret
anyway, even if passwdauth was used.

Is there another way to assign static IP to pap+passwdauth user?

Yes, I'm using ppp-980227 under 2.2-STABLE (August, 22 1997).

I have 6 COM ports:

1) cuaa0 - used by slattach (2LL)
root     20632     1 20632 13d1c40    0 Is+   a0    0:00.01 /sbin/slattach -a -h -r -s 38400 -O 60 -S 0 /dev/cuaa0

2) cuaa1 - permanently used by upsd
root       292     1   292 11adf20    0 Ss    ??    0:46.84 /usr/local/bin/upsd /dev/cuaa1

3-6) cuaD00-cuaD03 - Digiboard 4-Port Multiport, used for call-in logins.
Lines from /etc/ttys:
cuaD00	"/usr/local/sbin/mgetty"	dialup on insecure
cuaD01	"/usr/local/sbin/mgetty"	dialup on insecure
cuaD02	"/usr/local/sbin/mgetty"	dialup on insecure
cuaD03	"/usr/local/sbin/mgetty"	dialup on insecure

User was logged to /dev/cuaD03, ppp has made an utmp entry with cuaa1.
Look:

When I "set encrypt MD5" and using CHAP, always is OK.
Does this mean that Win95 client uses MD5 to response to challange?

Here is excerpt from Microsoft's Dialup Networking Upgrade 1.2b:

| 3.5  Setting Encryption on Dial-up or PPTP Connection
| There is no user control over encryption in the Windows95 Dial-Up Networking
| client.  Encryption is controlled by appropriate settings in the Windows NT
| Remote Access Server. Due to a bug in the Windows95 client, encryption must
| be requested with compression. The server will not be able to negotiate
| encryption without compression. (Note that the server can enable compression
| without encryption.)

Doing some playing around on my own I discovered a few oddities in the
process of getting my perl scripts to be command line executable.

1. the usual "#!/path_to_my_perl_binary/perl" must be the first line...duh.
2. gotta "chmod +x myperlscript.pl", yup.

now here's the weird stuff...

3. I have to move it into one of the bin directories that is in my shell
path. (I'm using csh as default)
4. I have to launch another shell or log out and log back in to my current
one for it all to take effect.

I tested it. If I move it out of the bin directory I can not execute it
anymore. If I move it into different bin directory, still being one that I
have in my profile path, it won't work. Not until I start another shell or
log out/in.

I can understand some of this limitation as I'm telling my shell to only
look in certain directories and those in a certain order as well, but what I
don't understand is why I have to play this musical shell game to get it to go.

Can anybody enlighten?

Thanks, Tim

Hmmm.  FWIW, I installed 2.2.1-R on a Prosignia (300, I think it was.  A P100
or P120, I think.) back in early '96.  The first problem I ran into was that
the generic kernel on the install floppy didn't have support for the NCR SCSI
controller compiled in.  So I borrowed some generic Adaptec (can't remember
which) from a friend and installed from there.  I then recompiled a kernel
with ncr0 and, as I remember, it faithfully picked up both SCSI host
adapters.  Of course, I then removed the Adaptec and switched my devices to
the on-board controller, so I never actually ran both in parallel.

The next issue was the fact that the Compaq had a memory gap option, and
FreeBSD only recognised the first 16M even when I disabled the gap using
Compaq's own DOS-based utilities.  All I had to do was set MAXMEM explicitly.

> Any assistance would be appreciated. I would like to devote drive1 (HP

Are you experiencing any specific problems?

(Aside:  That particular server I set up is still running, though not under
my control for well over a year and now upgraded to 2.2.5-R, doing duty as
mail, DNS, etc. server for a large-ish Microsoft Solution Provider.  I'm
quite proud of it... ;-)

Oh, I didn't know Pine came with a POP/IMAP server.

The original Berkeley code is now maintained by Qualcomm (the Eudora people),
and is available in the ports under mail/popper.

Of course!  (Obligatory plug:  Free yourself from MUA tyranny!  Use IMAP! ;-)
U Washington's reference imapd is in the ports under mail/imap-uw.  I've
heard at least one report of it also causing problems with (very) large
attachments (albeit on a machine that was (a) underpowered and (b) ran
Linux.)

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to have 3-4 NE2000 compat. ethernet
cards in 1 freebsd box and have the freebsd box recignize all of them.
I'm trying to firewall a network into 4 parts.  Is there a better (low
cost) way to do this?

Thanks,

Michael

There used to be regular (automated?) announcements of new ports posted to
freebsd-announce.  Has that service been discontinued?  It was really
useful...  :-)

If you have the slots to fit them, yes. But there are better alternatives
to NE2000 clones...

Strange things happens with my wtmp, when I start using ppp
(I'm using ppp-980215, downloaded from www.freebsd.org/~brian)

here some results of "last" command:

Kuznets  cuaa1                     ÞÔ   5 ÍÁÒ 01:25 - 02:48  (01:22)

ppp      cuaa2    57600            ÓÒ   4 ÍÁÒ 20:44   still logged in
jonny    cuaa1                     ×Ó   1 ÍÁÒ 23:51 - 01:48  (01:56)
ppp      cuaa2    57600            ×Ó   1 ÍÁÒ 23:51 - still logged in

Why users come from cuaa1 ? (In my system cuaa1 is a mouse !)
And why all ppp conecctions are still logged in ?
(there is no ppp processes in my system, but wtmp says it is)
Please, help my to solve this problem !

There is no real ppp users in my system, there are only
in ppp.secret file, and ppp -direct is started by mgetty
login.config has a line:
/AutoPPP/	-	ppp	/etc/ppp/ppp-pap-dialup

ppp-pap-dialup is a standart file renamed from /etc/ppp/ppp.pap.dialup.sample

ppp.conf:
#----- cut here --------------
default:
 set device /dev/cuaa2
 disable lqr
 set ctsrts on
 set speed 57600
 set log phase lcp error warning alert
 set timeout 0
 enable msext
 set ns 192.168.32.1

papcuaa2:
 enable chap
 disable pap
 disable passwdauth
 set ifaddr 192.168.32.2 192.168.32.60
 enable proxy 
#-------- end cut ---------------------

And a last question: is there any idea, how can ppp users time
be accounted and strongly restricted ?

After you have moved the file to another bin directory (that is in your
path) , type "rehash" it wil then know that that executable is in your
path.  I'm sure someone else can give you the exact info, but it kind of
cashes the info and rehash rereads that info.

I think the others answered this satisfactorily.

with csh (and tcsh) you need to type rehash to update the list of
binaries/programs that the shell knows about. (This is probably not a very
accurate description but it works). I think that when the shell is started
it builds a list/database of the programs in the path. When you add a new
program the rehash command tells the shell to rebuild the list.

No joy. Something I neglected to mention was that I can go into the 
appropriate directory and run the 'make clean' by hand it works with no
problems. It looks as though I'm hitting some sort of resource limit,
but I can't find where.

Very odd.

   Do you think any other device(s) for disconnection to make installation
   process to proceed. Thanks in advance.

How have you set up your fonts (in XF86Config and otherwise)?  It seems to
me that the fonts StarOffice wants don't align with what I've installed --
the program *can't* look as badly and as slowly on everyone's machine, or
no one would use it.

Any suggestions?

Best regards

Absolutely!  It's the best, in my view.  I installed directly, without the
port.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Have no idea how to implement it in your situation (CHAP authentication).

Hi

I made the "netscape4-communicator" port and it all works fine, except for
the 128-bit encryption, which I suppose is not available on the "export" 
versions. In fact, I do need this feature (and I'm in Canada, so I can
"officially" use it). I am about to make the "netscape4-communicator.us" 
port, but I noticed that the Makefile will download

	"communicator-v404-us.x86-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz" 

I assume it will work alright (I have linux libs installed, etc), but I
want to know if it is any slower/"less stable"/etc then the native FreeBSD
that gets installed with the "netscape4-communicator" port (from the
Makefile : communicator-v404-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar.gz ) 

Thanks in advance.

Antonio

Hi!

I have got a Cyclades Cyclome-16Y (ISA). and FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE
After reading all available documentation from Cyclades, from Mailing-
Lists, from Handbook and FAQ I have done the following:

1.
In MYKERNEL added string
device cy0 at isa? tty irq 10 iomem 0xd4000 iosiz 0x2000 vector cyintr

2.
dmesg shows:

cy0 irq 10 maddr 0xd4000 msize 8192 on isa

3. in /dev
sh MAKEDEV cuac0
sh MAKEDEV ttyc0

4. in /etc/remote added string
cyclome:dv=/dev/cuac00:br#9600

5. in /etc/ttys added string
ttyc00  "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown on secure


So, the problems I have are:

1. When I do

# tip cyclome
connected

I cannot input any AT commands to my modem, and cannot get out from
there with ~. command.
If I turn modem off the computer hangs.

2. The output of ps ax contains 

159 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyc00

and when I call in my computer the modems are handshaking but then
FreeBSD HANGS as in previous case.

Well, I don't know where to search the answer and wthat to do else.
Thanks, in advance.

Additionally, you may need to check how your passwords are encrypted in
/etc/master.passwd.  If the server is using DES and the client is using MD5
things will not work.  You can check these links:

	/usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> libdescrypt.a
	/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 -> libdescrypt.so.2.0
	/usr/lib/libcrypt_p.a -> libdescrypt_p.a

I have a COMPAQ 866 486/66 DX/2, and I am installing FreeBsd 2.2.5 for
the first time.  When I initially loaded FreeBsd with machine had 16 mb
of Ram.  I have since added 8 more mb.  FreeBsd is showing on 16 meg
installed.  What incantation is required to tell FreeBsd of the
additional ram?

Also, I have built a Pentium II/2 266 Mhz system with 96 mb ram and a
6.5 gb hard drive.  I want  to run FreeBsd on it and have it co-exist
with Windows/95.  When I installed Win/95 with large drive support, the
support said  by choosing large drive support, dual operating systems
were not allowed.  Is this a problem with FreeBsd or will the boot
manager handle windows large drive support?

Thanks

Matt Schroebel

I am using a Conner Tape Store 800.  I get a bad block number on 3200 and
the drive cant seem to continue.  Does FT require a completly flawless tape?
Any suggestions? And how can I terminate this process without reboot the
computer.  I cant simply kill the process....it wont let me.  Thanks.
By the way, I am not a subscriber to the mailing list, so could you answer
me directly. Thanks. Brad Smith.

There is at least two official XFree86 mirror sites in the US that have
the XFree86 3.3.2 files available for download. I installed the X server
for a Diamond V330 (PCI Riva 128) yesterday.

Sirs,

Firstly, if this is addressed to the wrong person, i apologise greatly for
your inconvenience...

I realise that you cannot offer specific support for your products, BUT!  i
have been trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 on my machine now for two weeks...

i am running a home built machine with a standard ide CD-ROM, 2.1GB HDD,
Matrox Millenium II graphics card and 64MB of RAM.

The installation goes quite well, i would however like to know how to read
the HTML documentation on the CD-ROM when the Lynx browser is not even
mentioned on the installation options.  also is there a list of software
ACTUALLY present on the 4 CD set?

I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer.

Thank you in advance

Thats what path is for and unlike DOS the current directory is not in the
path, unless explictly listed.

This is because csh keeps a hash table of executables, I forget the exact
rules, in your path.

Try the rehash command, to get csh to rebuild it's hash

Hi,

Does FreeBSD support multiprocessor boards in any shape or
form.  eg. is SMP support built-in (like Solaris x86 ?)

Thanks.

Today  my FreeBSD (i.e. the X part) crashed due to a power breakdown. 
I reinstalled FreeBSD on a new hd. And all works fine (as expected) 
I tried to use the old hard disk as disk 2, to be able to copy some 
old settings files. This is also OK for everything in the root part 
of the disk, but how do I do to mount the /usr part of the old disk?

Assuming that you have installed the entire /manpages/ directory
you simply have to 'cd' to the directory that holds the
manpages.?? and install.sh and from root

# sh install.sh

If you downloaded them on to a dos partition c:\freebsd\manpages\
then I suggest that you run /stand/sysinstall and use the install
additional distribution sets option from the post install
configuration screen.

Hi John,

Emacs is starting to slow down, again.  I have several proc's,

It looks like there is an ispell waiting for something.  Killing that

same.

If you are using ISA cards you will need to build a custom kernel that 
looks for all the cards and has the correct IRQ and IO settings.
Look at ed0 and ed1 and create ed2 and ed3 with settings to match
the cards.

With PCI cards just plug them in and reboot.

All of these are available in source form thus and can be compiled
natively under FreeBSD (oh--well, except netscape but there is a
native freebsd binary of netscape available).  In particular, in the
"ports" collection i see magic and spice.  You can browse the
current status of the ports directory at:

Yes.   I'll have to experiment with changing the size of the root
directory and see if that makes a difference.

Oh dear :-(  Thanks for the warning.

Subject: natd and range of IPs???
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG

Hello,

Assuming I compile my kernel with IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT, then use the
following rc.firewall and natd.conf files, is it possible to use a
FreeBSD host as a network address translator using only a single
ethernet card?

For example, I would like to translate the public IP network
AA.BB.CC.72/29 (with only 5 hosts) to the internal netowrk
192.168.33.8/29.  Assume my FreeBSD host has public IP address
AA.BB.CC.73 and the internal network address of 192.168.33.9.  The
internal machines use this .9 address as the default gateway.

I setup my ethernet NIC as follows:

  # Set up my public IP address:
  ifconfig de0 inet AA.BB.CC.73 netmask 255.255.255.248
  # Set up my aliases:
  ifconfig de0 inet AA.BB.CC.74 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
  ifconfig de0 inet AA.BB.CC.75 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
  ifconfig de0 inet AA.BB.CC.76 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
  ifconfig de0 inet AA.BB.CC.77 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
  ifconfig de0 inet AA.BB.CC.78 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
  # Set up my internal private IP address:
  ifconfig de0 inet 192.168.33.9 netmask 255.255.255.248 alias

I set up ipfw as follows:

  # Flush everything
  /sbin/ipfw flush
  # Don't divert traffic intended for me
  /sbin/ipfw add 90 skipto 110 all from any to AA.BB.CC.73
  /sbin/ipfw add 91 skipto 110 all from 192.168.33.8/29 to 192.168.33.9
  # Don't divert traffic to the network address
  /sbin/ipfw add 92 skipto 110 all from any to AA.BB.CC.72
  /sbin/ipfw add 93 skipto 110 all from 192.168.33.8/29 to 192.168.33.8
  # Don't divert traffic to the broadcast address
  /sbin/ipfw add 94 skipto 110 all from any to AA.BB.CC.79
  /sbin/ipfw add 95 skipto 110 all from 192.168.33.8/29 to 192.168.33.15
  # DO divert remaining traffic to the public network AA.BB.CC.72/29
  /sbin/ipfw add 100 divert natd all from any to AA.BB.CC.72/29
  # DO divert remaining traffic from the private network 192.168.33.8/29
  /sbin/ipfw add 101 divert natd all from 192.168.33.8/29 to any
  # Permit all other stuff:
  /sbin/ipfw add 110 permit all from any to any

I start natd with the -config /etc/natd.conf flag and setup natd.conf
thus:

  log yes
  same_ports yes
  redirect_address 192.168.33.10 AA.BB.CC.74
  redirect_address 192.168.33.11 AA.BB.CC.75
  redirect_address 192.168.33.12 AA.BB.CC.76
  redirect_address 192.168.33.13 AA.BB.CC.77
  redirect_address 192.168.33.14 AA.BB.CC.78
  redirect_address AA.BB.CC.74 192.168.33.10
  redirect_address AA.BB.CC.75 192.168.33.11
  redirect_address AA.BB.CC.76 192.168.33.12
  redirect_address AA.BB.CC.77 192.168.33.13
  redirect_address AA.BB.CC.78 192.168.33.14

And /etc/services:

  natd   6668/divert  # Network Address Translation socket

Would something like this work?  Did I miss something?  Is there an
easier way?  Any suggestions at all?  I would basically like to map
traffic ip<=>ip so that incoming traffic for AA.BB.CC.74 always goes to
192.168.33.10 and the reverse would be true for outgoing traffic.

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
Aaron Gifford

ext2fs /dev/balh /blah or even mount_ext2fs /dev/asdf /asdf it returns
with an error message that "ext2fs filesystem not available". thank you

** Please reply to me in person, not to the list **
Hello,

I'd be interested in finding out how to contact someone in Montreal,
Canada, who'd be interested in some simple installation work.

I'll probably be sending a HD with FreeBSD preinstalled over there to be
installed by a Windows user. If I do everything right on the first try,
and he is able to install it, no help will be needed. But just in case,
I'd like to know whether someone would be able to 'step in' to do some
minor configuration. 

You will be paid of course.

It'll be a simple 2.2-STABLE system on an IDE disk with HylaFAX, ssh and
iijppp.

If this is not the right way of doing this, then please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

To Whom This May Concern,

I have questions reguarding the FreeBSD Copyright.  I am 
hoping the FreeBSD organization can clarify it for me.

I have an idea of developing an embedding terminal server
running on an 80x86 processor.  I want my kernel to be a
FreeBSD kernel because of the UNIX features(telnet, rlogin, 
etc..) and more importantly that it's "free".

I have read through "The Free BSD Copyright" over and over
and understand(I think) the terms and conditions for which
it specified.  My idea above is to built a terminal server 
with a stripped-down FreeBSD as an embedded kernel and
hopefully be able to sell the terminal server as a hardware
product.  The kernel would be too big to store on ROM but 
a trimmed-down FreeBSD might fit.

A trimmed FreeBSD kernel would need to be modify to fit
the hardware architecture.  Existing drivers would also 
need to be modify as well as new drivers developed, and
link with the kernel.  

The end result would be a terminal server running an
embedded trimmed-down and modified FreeBSD kernel, along
with modified and new drivers.  My understanding is that
condition #2 of The FreeBSD Copyright applies.  Which says
I only have to reproduce the copyright notice but NOT the
source code?

Your clarification on this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your attention and time.

Hello,

I have a 2.1.5 FreeBSD system.  In my /etc/sysconfig file I have a default
route set to the correct address.  However, periodically netstat will not
show a default route.  Therefore, my system can't get to outside addresses
that it doesn't have a specific static route for.  Why does this happen?
After I reboot, the default route appears to be there, but than it goes away  
mysteriously.  Here is the output of my sysconfig file that pertains to
defaultroute.

#
# Set to the list of route add lines for this host.  You must have a
# route_${static_routes} line for each static route listed here (unless
# static_routes is set to "" - do NOT use ``NO'' to denote a lack of static
# routes!).
#
#static_routes="foo multicast"
#route_foo="woofo woofo-gw"
#route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface 10.0.0.1"
static_routes=""

# Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO for none.
# This is the same as adding a ``default'' entry to static_routes.
defaultrouter="204.7.172.129"

# This is the routing daemon you want to use.  Possible options are
# currently NO (for none), `routed' and `gated'.  Also see `routerflags'
# for startup flags.
router=routed

# These are the flags you'd like to start the routing daemon with
routerflags=-s

# mrouted flags, or NO if you don't want to start mrouted. Needs kernel
# options enabled before it will work.
mrouted=NO


Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Supporting FreeBSD 2.2.5, NT, 95, and SysCmdr 4.0 Deluxe

On a pretty large drive.

I did something on the order of 12-16 OS installations on my PC
yesterday, because I didn't read the FAQ.  Sigh.  

But here's the situation:

I want to use 95, NT, and FreeBSD, and I want to use System
Commander 4.0 Deluxe to do so.

I'm using a 4Gb drive (Unisys/Seagate ST15150W, in case it
matters).

Yesterday I tried the following:
Three partitions:
Partition 1, 1357Mb, Windows 95
Partition 2, 1357Mb, Windows NT

So far everything was OK.  Then I installed FreeBSD into 
Partition 3, 1381Mb 

And my Win95 OS went away.

Looks like this is because FreeBSD requires its root partition to
begin in the first 1024 cylinders of the drive ("2.15. What about
disk managers? Or, I have a large drive!").   

So I have these OSs and these requirements:
FreeBSD         First  1024 Cylinders
NT              First 2048 Mb
95              First Primary Dos partition

Which kind of leaves me in a bind.  

Any ideas? has someone done this before?

FreeBSD (as long as you don't add GPLed code to the kernel or
runtime) does not encumber your ideas or source code in any
way.  If you want to redistribute binary code as licensed
with the BSD or BSD-like  licenses, you do not encur any
obligation to redistribute source code, or have to expose
your ideas and inventions to the public.

The above idea is one of the hallmarks of the very
free BSD license terms.  Secondarily, companies often
contribute non-strategic works back into the *BSD source
trees so that they offload some of the support work back
into the *BSD team efforts.

John,

Thanks you for the prompt reply(I thought it would take days for
someone to reply).  

I think the BSD license terms is a workable one unlike the GNU 
General Public License.  Which adds so many strings to the term
"free" that it's no longer free in the sense of the word.

When it's not an obliglation to redistribute it makes it easier
for the developer like myself to expand and add ideas to the
existing code.  And in the process would want to contribute,
like you mentioned non-startegic works, back into the BSD source
trees.

Should things work out and we have a sellable product we will
definately contribute back any source code we can to the source
tree.

You see, a few months ago my school were given a few
Sun Solaris SparcStation

Try running /stand/sysinstall, Post-Installation Config; there should
be an option in there somewhere for installing packages. The 1st CD
has a big list of software that's very useful for any system.

Cheers.

Subject: Tcpdump problems: LLC2 decode is incorrect ?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG







Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to ask if any one has found problems with the LLC2 decode in
tcpdump.

tcpdump writes llc2 headers with protocols such as

. fddi
. 802.3/SNAP/IP
. Ethernet | 802.3/LLC2/NetBEUI

Here is an example where tcpdump (-x -s200) decodes the control bytes
0x01e5 as an RR with Number Received 0, whereas I think it should be an RR
with Number Received = 114 (ie hex(e5 >>1))

18:42:22.789598 0:20:35:43:3f:e3 > 0:20:35:71:f2:e8 sap f0 rr (r=0,C)
len=42
f0f001e5000000000000000000000000        rr Nr 114

I think tcpdump is a wonderful tool so its more likely I am wrong.

The FreeBSD 2.2.5 tcpdump seems to behave the same as the latest version
(3.46 ?) from ftp.ee.lbl.gov.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely

Hi,

  Please HELP!

  I have FreeBSD 2.1.6 and I want to connect it via TCP/IP to a Win95
machine. I have an AMD PCNET PCI network card on the FreeBSD machine, but I
can't find drivers for it anywhere. Can you tell me a valuable resource for
network card drivers for FreeBSD? I also have an RTL8029 network card, and
will probably also require this driver in the future.

  Thank you very much,

    J.Duraes

Set this to `no'.

Hello,
Would please some kind soul help me with this question? I've just
installed StarOffice 4.0, and installation went quite smoothly. But every
time I try to start Office (execute soffice) - it loads, and shows the
StarOffice Desktop - but then it freezes completely leaving me with
nessessity to kill X session and whole bunch of attached shared memory
chunks (32 or more, when I recompiled kernel with SHMNI=64). Their help
browser (shelp) works all right, though (as a standalone application), but
that's a small comfort. What's going on with it and how could I fix it?

Thanks in advance,

Vladimir

OK, looks normal. status 0 == success

That is wierd, I don't see any error.  Did you remember to select a
distribution?  Did you set up the disks and partitions properly?

Looks normal here.  What version did you uprade to?  Stable? Current?

Try running netstat when you connect and check the state of the
connection.  Make sure it's going to ESTABLISHED.

Also check that your reverse DNS entries are setup properly.

If read-only is okay, you can use vmount to get it.

Run ppp with the -alias option and make sure `gateway_enable=yes' is set
in /etc/rc.conf.

Except that no device to format is specified.  Usually you just run `newfs
/dev/rwd0s1a' or whatever device you want to format.

You just told me you turned it off... That would imply that the controller
is disappearing.  That is not good.

That's normal.  The 1 int is probably the driver trying to get the
controller to respond.  Perhaps the drive or controller are getting
unhappy?  That would be really wierd.

What type of disk is this?  If it's a WD try getting the wd config utility
from them and run it.

It doesn't like the IDE controller going on vacation; you loose swap and
thus chunks of processes.  SCSI can put up with it a little better.

See if you can force the modem to use COM2 by jumpers. PnP will be
officially supported in 2.2.6, in the meantime there are patches on the
2.2.5 CD.

Plug&pray modems bite :(

I was getting the same error with it when I installed it.  The trick is
not to install it as a shared package, but rather as something only you
use.  That is, you need to have read/write access to all of the
components.  If you want anyone else to use it, they, too, need to have
read/write access.  This version of 4.0 doesn't support network
installations.  I guess you need to buy licenses for them.  If this has
changed, I'd sure like to know, as I'd like to do a shared install on my
machine.

I have 0.14.0 installed from the port at home (I'm still running AfterStep
at work).  I find that the latest WindowMaker is nice, but I really am not
sure I understand "fiend" and I miss having a pager (haven't gotten used
to workspaces).  I also wish there were better docs on setting things up
for yourself as I'm basically doing things by trial and error.  

That said, I find it WAY better than trying to install AfterStep-1.4 (I'm
still using 1.0 at work).  AS-1.4 is a kludgy mess if you ask me.  I
imagine that I will either stick w/ AS-1.0 or once I get used to WM move
the work machine over.  Until I get some DOCS though for WM I'll be
waiting on the final decision.  :-)

I've got FreeBSD 2.2.5. when I try to take either the installation cd,
live cd or any of the other 2 cd's and try to mount them I have a
problem. I mount it, wait and it gives me an I/O error. like status
31:. and alot of other stuff. also when
I put any of those cd's in under windows. it takes about 3-5 minutes to
load. then when I try to click on the "f" drive it says either "device
not configured" or "device not connected" or something like that. and
this happens ONLY when I try the BSD cd's. now does this sound like a
problem with the CD's or does this sound like a problem with the CDROM.
because I can always get a set of new cd's.. thanks.

Take a look at this website:
http://www.clark.net/pub/ray/staroffice.html
which contains useful installation instructions. There is also a hack on
the settings for a multi-user environment, which is in turn available
from here:
http://www.on-line.de/~michael.hoennig/soffice4-linux-faq-01.html
Actually, the script doesn't work quite well for FreeBSD, but it should
not be hard if you take some time knowing what it's about and make some
changes. (like there is no cp -d flag in FreeBSD, just minor stuff ;)

The StarOffice is a real memory-beast, and you would need certain amount
of free mem(including vm!) to run. I have also upgrade my linux libc to
4.4.41, and put it into the ${SO4}/lib, and is working quite well. I
have not tried 4.4.44 though. I suspect it is probably due to some kinda
vm enhancement in -current(971225), and after the upgrade, it is going
on quite smoothly though.

It's an Office suite, anyhow, but that's free, apart from Applix.

The same way as you mount any other partition.  Where?  That's your
choice.  I'd mount it on the old root's /usr directory.

	Under no circumstances should you run ircd from inetd. You should start
it from a script called in /etc/rc.local. Make sure that the script does
an su to a normal user, and that that user has adequate resources to run
ircd.

	Channels show up in a /list if there are clients in them. If you want
the same channels to show up all the time when clients do a /list, run a
bot of some sort in that channel. You might also want to put the info
you want the users to see in ircd.motd.

I am trying to get my FreeBSD box on the Internet, but I need some
help.

When I execute my ppp command this is what happens.

#ppp
user process ppp
interactive mode
ppp on anthony> dialup isp
dialup attemp 1 of 1
phone 3170018
dial ok!
login ok!
ppp on anthony> packet mode
ppp on anthony>
PPP on anthony>

Now my question is what do I do next to have access to the Internet?

thanks,

Anthony ...

Excellent place to ask, this being a freebsd list and all. But seriously,
you can't find it eh? Have you looked very hard?

www.debian.org, sunsite.unc.edu and ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux come
to mind off the top of my head without so much as running a search
for it.

I'm running 2.2.5-RELEASE and have been planning to set up a firewall 
using ipfw and rc.firewall.  I just stumbled across IP Filter 
(http://coombs.anu.edu.au/ipfilter/), which claims to be included in 
FreeBSD-current (post 2.2).  Would I be better off installing and 
using that package, or should I stick with ipfw?  What's the 
difference between the two?

Secondly, regardless of which package I use, what are the minimum 
requirements for a box that will be filtering traffic on a T1?  I'd 
hate to be creating a bottleneck...

Thanks,
Dave

Can I load freeBSD software on a Windows 95/NT box and
build freeBSD kernel/utils/applications there? Basically
does a cross-development environment exists for FreeBSD
on Windows 95/NT?

Thanks.

Well, for obvious reasons, you'll get the answer 'FreeBSD' from asking on
a freebsd list  ;)
I have a web page setup with previous comparisons between FreeBSD and
linux, as well as some Open|NetBSD and I think a few other UN*X's thrown
in for good measure.
The page is at:
http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd/bsdvlin.htm

Hope it helps!!

That won't make a difference.
It has to do with the clustersize in Windows95's filesystem; FAT32, I
believe it is?
Andway, FreeBSD's msdosfs can't handle it correctly.  Was this fixed in
3.0-CURRENT?  Don't remember...

Look into mtools, in the ports collection.  IIRC, mtools could handlt
FAT32 partitons OK.

Hi!
Sorry for my English...
I can't to do ipx-routing on 2.2.1-RELEASE.
I done:
- MY_KERNEL_CONFIG:
	options IPX
- make and install new kernel
- ifconfig ed0 ipx 0xDA000001
  ifconfig ed1 ipx 0xDA000002
   ...
  ifconfig ed5 ipx 0xDA000006
- sysctl -w net.ipx.ipx.ipxforwarding=1
- IPXrouted -s
Windows95 as servers and clients.
What's incorrectly?

Some people have talked to the Stac Electronics people with no 
success.  Drop me a line if you want their email addresses.  There 
was a discussion on freebsd-hackers recently about this.

As for ``Microsoft PPC'', I can't seem to find an RFC for that :-|  
If anyone could rustle one up, I'd certainly try to add support !

Not at the moment I'm afraid.  I've got an entry in my TODO list 
to remove the ``enable passwdauth'' command and implement smarter 
password parsing where PAP can have encrypted passwords in ppp.secret 
and passwords of "*" are looked up in the real password database.

Ah, ok - you're right :-O  This is now fixed and available in -stable, 
-current and on www.freebsd.org/~brian :-)

I think the problem is that NT (pre patch kit 3) couldn't do real MD5 
(with a `type' of 0x05).  Instead it did a combination of MD4 and DES 
(with a `type' of 0x80).

So the bit that doesn't work properly is a FreeBSD box requiring CHAP 
authentication from a pre NT4 patch 3 client.

Exactly.
If you'd read up on PPP (ahem ahem), you'd have learned that you switch to
another vty and do whatever internet stuff you want to do. Or the new PPP
supports a command to move itself to the background (don't know what it is.
surely in the man page).
Er, you may need to add "nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx" lines to your
/etc/resolv.conf in order for DNS to work.

I have been looking for a simple package that communicates from a
windows/dos machine to a unix based uucico server.  I have not had any luck
in finding a ready made package so I was hoping that the source code may
have been available at the free bsd ftp site.  I have been unable to find
it.  Is it available?  If so where can I find it?

TIA

As others have already said, ppp in 2.2.5 if broken in this respect.

I'm running -STABLE off cvsup, making most nightly and world 
occasionally, but I've had to hack on /usr/src slightly to stop it 
overwriting my bind 8 and qmail.

I can't expect the sendmail situation to change but one could ask: 
Which version of BIND will go in 2.2.6-R and later -STABLEs?

And while I'm at it, should I assume that perl will stay at 4?

I'm not feeling quite adventurous enough to use -CURRENT.

I wasn't sure what you meant by "compare" fstab with /dev.  I was
surprised to see you recommend running ./MAKEDEV sd0 because that is
exactly what hosed my system in the first place.  I think you may have
over-estimated my knowledge of FreeBSD.

Anyway, going on your clues, I figured out that what I needed to do was to
run './MAKEDEV sd0' followed by './MAKEDEV sd0s3a'.  This created sd0s3a
through sd0s3h, which is exactly what I needed.  Now she boots up fine.

Thanks very much for your help!

The same one that shipped with 2.2.5.

Yep.  We've still yet to find someone to bmake perl5 and get it into
the proper shape for inclusion in -current, much less -stable. :(

Well, I'm not Bill, but I can tell you that MSPPC is also owned by
Hi/fn (STAC), so the chances of getting it into FBSD are exactly the
same as the chances of getting LZS in :-(

Hiyall,

I'm trying to allow ns1.iinet.net.au to zone transfer
114.11.203.in-addr.arpa from odyssey.apana.org.au. But, odyssey is
refusing the connection. How do I allow the transfer to take place?

Regards,

Hello Again,

I've asked this before and read a bit and I admit I'm lazy. I have:

1. A FreeBSD machine which is CVSup'd from RELEASE 2-2-5 and made world'ed.
2. A few other machines which have 2.2.5 and have been installed at various
intervals over the past 3-4 months.

I want:

1. To be able to update the first machine periodically from the
cvsup.freebsd.org and make world it.
2. To pull the essential files (binaries/libraries) onto the
other/subsidiary machines updating them and not have to run make world on
those machines (takes a long time).

Please, any suggestions welcomed.

Thanx,
Randy Katz

	This is more of a -chat topic I think, so if you want to follow it up
I'll be glad to follow it there. Afterstep 1.4 is different enough so
that I found configuring it a challenge, but once I got it done I liked
it a lot better. Moving the various configuration elements to different
files allows on the fly changes of the "fluff" elements of the desktop
while maintaining things like the wharf across configurations. It's also
a *lot* more stable. I get around one crash a week on the system I use
daily (almost always netscape *grumble*), whereas before I would
sometimes get one a day. 

	I haven't actually tried any other window managers, I was a big fan of
next, and this one works well and I'd rather not spend time playing
around with other things. The only thing I can't do is paste from an
xterm into netscape. I also don't like the way XFree86 3.3.2 colors the
reverse video in a black xterm, but I have a feeling that I'll figure
that one out. :)

OK, you have machine buildhost, and then hosta, hostb, hostc:

do the buildworld on buildhost, and put /usr/obj on another
partition (say, symlinked to /var/usr.obj).  Then, after making sure the
/etc/exports file is setup correctly for this, do the following from each
other machine:
# mount -t nfs buildhost:/usr/src /usr/src
# mount -t nfs buildhost:/var/usr.obj /usr/obj
# make installworld

I just did this with a network of machines here, and it works great.
Make sure to install the new kernels, too...

i think there is something wrong with this file and don't know how i can
get another version.

when i run perl it gives me this error:
ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libnet.so.0.92"

when i run other things it gives me this error:
/usr/libexec/ld.so: warning: /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0: minor version 0 older
than expected 1, using it anyway

what should i do?

Sorry to bother you, but I have a setup that already has
4 bootable partitions. FreeBSD will not install.
Do you know a way around this?

This is what my partition table looks like today.

8.4GB Hard Drive (EIDE)

Windows 95        2GB
OPENSTEP        1GB
Windows NT        1GB
Dos/Win3.11        1GB
FreeBSD              1GB (here is the problem)
Future                   2GB   (unknown)

Thanks for your help. I know this is odd, so if you know of something
great,
if not no big deal. I was hoping to port my NeXT tools though.

How does the localtime function covert seconds past 1970 into months,
days, year?

Is there a simple algorithm?

Hi,

Thanx for your answer. I have another question:

I just did a:

cd /usr/src
make buildworld
setenv DESTDIR /usr/tmpbuild
make installworld

After examining /usr/tmpbuild/usr/src/sys I notice its empty. How does the
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf stuff get updated if it doesn't happen here. Is
there something else I should know before building a kernel?

Please correct me if I'm off my rocker...

Thanx,
Randy Katz

Dedicated mode and the boot manager are mutually exclusive; if you install
the boot manager on a dedicated disk you run a pretty good chance of
ruining the entire disklabel.

You need to install booteasy on the primary master disk; this is easily
done by grabbing boot.bin and bootinst.exe from the CD and running it.

Yes -- you're trying to boot your (nonexistent) second disk.  Try typing
nothing and see if the bootblocks find your partition okay.  Or try
`wd(0,a)/kernel'.

:-)  This is why `make install' copies the current kernel to kernel.old,
so if you make a mistake you can always boot the old kernel.

Cool.  I usually use `xf86config' to get working modelines (XF86Setup is
pretty brain-dead it appears) and tune from there.  I just bashed a
Millenium II in my professor's computer to do 1152x864 (whatever) using
xf86config; the lines he got originally from XF86Setup didn't work beyond
1024x768.

I'll check it out; the XFree86 site was always pretty bare-bones,
hopefully they've added some much-needed info.

What was it?  I'm too lazy to seach the archives and could need a

It's cut-n-paste only but should work.

Modify /etc/rc.conf:

moused_type="microsoft"
      # See man page for rc.conf(5) for available settings.
moused_port="/dev/cuaa0" 
      # Set to your mouse port (required if mousetype set).

One major problem is that the X.25 code has been removed from the kernel.
If you want to experiment with this you'll have to fetch it and plug it
back into the kernel.

The Linux apps would probably work too, depending on what interface they
use.  If they're standalone apps they should be fine.

What version of FreeBSD is this?

Realize that FreeBSD requires it's own slice.  You should have deleted all
partitions on the disk.

Not entirely.  If you want to set idle priority, run `idprio -203'.  With
niceness 20, the application will not be scheduled often, but will be
scheduled.  In idle priority, it will only be scheduled if there are no
ready processes to schedule, eg the system is idle.

My rc564 (my rc5des didn't die like everyone else's) is chugging along
fine.

Hi All,
I am having a bit of trouble getting FreeBSD to run on my system...

I have a DK440LX motherboard, and a SCSI disk.  Using the disk images
located in , I was able to
successfully install.  If I do a fixit, and mount /dev/da0a or /dev/da0s1
on /mnt1.

Unfortunately, when I try to boot without the floppies, I get the following
lines somewhere near where it locates my disk (sometimes it has stuff about
my disk in the middle, sometimes before.  seems to depend on the boot
command):

	Considering FFS root f/s.
	changing root devide to wd0a
	error 6: panic: cannot mount root (2)

I have tried specifying the boot device as '0:sd(0,a)/kernel -s' (and
several variations), but that doesn't seem to help.  It decompresses the
kernel, so I am pretty sure it is finding it OK.

So, any hints as to why it is doing this?  And how to fix it?

Unfortunately, I don't have a working FreeBSD system (yet) to be able to go
poking around on to find it.

Thanks,

+C

It will time out after 10 tries, but you can change it by modifing the
default user class's `login-retries' capability in /etc/login.conf.  Or
rebuild login changing DEFAULT_RETRIES.

I'm having problems installing FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE on my network at
home. The problem occurs during an NFS mount from the FreeBSD during
the installation to my server which is a NetBSD-1.3 system. I setup the
option screen using secure, debugging, media type NFS. The media type also
sets up the networking paramters, and the NIC card (ep0).

The NetBSD is running the mountd, portmap, and nfsd required for NFS. The
NetBSD can ping the FreeBSD, and also when I use the showmount command it
displays that the FreeBSD has mounted itself to the proper directory. My
/etc/exports file contains the line;

/export -alldirs

The alt-f2 screen on the FreeBSD shows the mount coomand used
mount_nfs -P [IP-ADDR]:/export  /dist. After a long time the mount_nfs
command fails which NFS Server not responding.

A third system running NetBSD-1.3 can mount without any problems to
the NetBSD server using the same  exact mount_nfs command.

I've tried various options on the NetBSD Server
    1. Run the mountd with -n oprtion
    2. put -maproot:=root in /etc/exports
and also looked in the FAQ for FreeBSD and NetBSD.

I should also mention that I successfully installed FreeBSD at work which
contains an extensive network of Sun based machines.

Can you help me with my NFS mounting problem

                                Sincerely

This is a problem; your SCSI disk is not probing.  Check termination.

I suppose ... how does the terminal connect?  Serial?  Network?  Is it an
X terminal?

Why would a dumb terminal have a good screen on it? :-)

Really?  I assume the LinkSys uses NE2000-based parts and will probably
work.  Or else they use Digital-based parts and will work better ;)

Run `set log chat' before dialing; this will cause all chat activites to
be logged.  This will probably spit out your password so make sure that
ppp.log's permissions are okay.

Most likely all you need is a default route to your network.  Modify
/etc/rc.conf and set the `defaultrouter' keyword to the IP address of your
router.  Also check that you have an ifconfig_ep0 line that properly sets
up your Ethernet card. 

If you can't seem to get it, please post the output of the `dmesg',
`netstat -rn', and `ifconfig -a' commands, and the contents of
/etc/rc.conf.  I'll also need to know your network details (station IP
address, gateway/router, netmask).

Not really; I don't think descriptors are recycled immediately.  10 is
really small for a busy system; it doesn't hurt to bump it (unless you're
running 4MB of RAM, and then you **really** should buy more memory while
it's cheap again).

POP insists on copying the entire mailspool before transmitting mail.
This may be taking too long such that the client is timing out.  This is
particularly a problem with Eudora.  Simply bump the timeout, or encourage
your users to avoid sending large attachments (certain sendmail.cf changes
can help enforce this policy).  

> Is there a 'better' POP server out there?

qpopper is pretty much it; we use the old ipop3d on our server but only a
few people use it regularly and we limit mail to 2MB/message since it
insists on blowing up procmail.

> Is anybody using IMAP yet ?

I am right now with Pine.  Pretty much required for how my mail sorting
works.

Eh?  Are you telling me that you have a patched ncr driver that
**supports** the 710?  I didn't think it knew how to talk to it.  Are
you sure it isn't a 810?

You have the source.  Take a look at

The major problem you may have would be the bootblocks picking wd0s1 as
the boot disk each time.  This could be remedied by dropping a
/boot.config file on each partition to make sure it's pointed the right
way.  You can also blow away booteasy (FDISK /MBR from DOS).  

The procedure is pretty simple tho:

1.  Use DOS FDISK to remove the DOS slice.
2.  Use sysinstall to create the slice and to label it.  Go ahead and use
    the entire thing for FreeBSD as one giant slice. 
3.  Newfs.
4.  Mount into desired location.  Modify /etc/fstab if you want it to
    mount automatically.
5.  Enjoy your new gig :-)

**do** see the diskformat tutorial first however!

Argh, thought that was familiar. :-/  I'm used to using LPRng which gives
much more intelligent error messages (and is more intelligent in general).

ENOFILE is a strange error for what really is a `connection refused'; does
lpr use UNIX sockets for signalling?

Additionally the standard SVGA server from XFree86 3.3.1 has some support,
and actually it appears to work fine.

You need to add some logging to figure out what's getting sent to the
modem.  Also verify that the device and baudrate are set properly.

we sort of need that; don't forget to blank out your password.

The Tekrams are ncr-based, I think.

You'll need the updated sound driver, and even then I don't know if the
sequencer is working quite yet.  Check with multimedia@freebsd.org.

2.2.6 will have PnP support, or you can patch 2.2.5.

Or you can force the setup of the card in the card's setup utility.

No, you do _not_ want to ifconfig tun0, ppp will do this for you.

Well, first of all, does resh come with a man page?  It will usually end
in a number, ie resh.1.

If it does, then copy it into /usr/local/man/man?, where ? is the same
number that the manpage ends with, in our example 1.

Now do `man resh' and your page will appear.

That's between you and your BIOS; verify that the second channel is
enabled and using port 0x170 IRQ 15.

OK, I'm not too good at reading makefiles, especially more involved ones
such as, say, /usr/src/Makefile.
So here's my question: would make buildworld or make installworld choke up
badly if I put the object dir ${WORLDTMP} under usr/src?
Or, but another way, have /usr/obj sym-linked to be at /usr/src/obj?
Would that choke up a buildworld/installworld horribly?

Thanks,

Can you be more specific?  Are you the client or do you want to set up a
server with POP3 and PPP dial-in capabilities?

The ports system is confused as to the current state of Perl.  I would
suggest doing the following:

cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5
make FORCE_PKG_REGISTER install

That should update the checkpoint files and keep all the ports from
complaining.

There is no S32000, is this the Diamond Stealth 32?  It uses the
ET4000/W32 server.  The modes provided by the setup program should be
sufficient to get you to at least 1024x768.

This is the classic 2.2.2-48MB RAM problem (or 64MB on 2.2.5-RELEASE,
reportedly).  

Pull a couple of SIMMS out, install, then put them back; the problem only
affects the boot floppy.

What version of the linux-lib port do you have installed?

It wants the Linux XWindows libraries.

Not For A While.  2.2.6 is coming soon, and whether that's the end of
2.2.x, I haven't heard.

About mounting msdos partions:  can you mount dos extended partitions?
I'm using freebsd-current.  I tried to mount them, and I get:

mount_msdos: /dev/wd1s1: Invalid argument.  Here is the output from 
fdisk /dev/wd1:

******* Working on device /dev/wd1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=785 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=785 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 5,(Extended DOS)
    start 8064, size 6314112 (3083 Meg), flag 0
	beg: cyl 1/ sector 1/ head 0;
	end: cyl 783/ sector 63/ head 127
The data for partition 2 is:

The data for partition 3 is:

The data for partition 4 is:


In actuality, disk wd1 has two extended partitions; one d: (2 meg) and e:
(1 meg) but as you can see above fdisk is showing just one 3 meg extended
dos partition.  It's also showing partitions 3 & 4, which is confusing
since they don't exist.

Make sure that mount_ext2fs exists and that

is in your kernel config.

That realname is going to get you in trouble.

Are you sure your system recognizes the additional RAM?  Check in Setup.

Doesn't matter either way, but big disk support may help alleviate
possible 1024-cylinder limits.

Your CDROM doesn't exist or isn't responding properly.  I need the exact
text of those error messages as well as a copy of the output from the
`dmesg' command.

IPFilter has a more flexible description language and has some other fun

Pentiums with Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI Ethernet cards would be a
good start.  (or Pro/100+)

Get another drive or dump one.  You can only have four slices per disk.

I've posted this question before, but I wasn't more specific.  I've got a
24x ide cdrom (BTC) on secondary slave.  I also have wdc0 and wcd1
configured.  Yet I get this on boot-up:

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): 
wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): 
wdc1 not found at 0x170
     ^^^^^^^^

My motherboard is an Asus sp97-v.  Also, my hard drive light stays on
constantly even though no activity is going on.  I'm using:

FreeBSD 3.0-980130-SNAP.  I have a feeling that this might be an
asus-specific thing.  If anyone else is using this mode of asus
mainbboard, I would like to hear what they've done to detect cdrom if it's
on secondary slave.  Under dos it gets detected.

When my computer boots (before booting the operating systems), it says the
ide cdrom is mode 4 on secondary slave.

Thanks.

	Donn

2.2.5 has drivers for both cards, I believe.  Or rather, knows how to talk
to those cards using existing drivers (lnc0 and ed0, respectively).

1.  Get some big disks.
2.  Install INN.
3.  Find someone to feed you.

Check out the INN FAQ, it's floating around the 'Net somewhere.

Not that I know of -- I'd love to see how much slower it compiles

Extended partitions are mapped to slices beyond 4, so the first logical
disk would be wd1s5 and the next wd1s6 and so forth.

I don't know about the Xircom products, but you should try the PAO boot

Please be more specific -- detail exactly what you are doing to do the net
install.  What are you entering for the Network Setup screen?

You can zone-transfer reverse domains?  Apparently so; I ls'd
114.11.203.in-addr.arpa from odyssey using nslookup and started getting
PTRs. 

Make sure that iinet.net.au isn't blocked by a firewall.

Reinstall perl; the only copy I have is off the CD.

Rebuild the perl port.  This must be perl5.

Your NetBSD system has Secure RPC?  I doubt it; try it without the Secure

Your performance would probably go down the tube, but I couldn't see why
it wouldn't work; the subdirs are hardwired.

The object directory specification is OBJDIR, BTW.

Shawn, I don't know what I'm going to do with you.  Bothering innocent
people halfway around the world when you could have just asked
questions@freebsd.org. I'm surprised you just didn't ask John-Mark or
myself.  Sheesh. :-)

lpd is getting angry and probably crashing.  Check the system log and see
if either lpd or your print filter is crashing on signal 11s.  If so, you
may have bad memory modules.  Also check `swapinfo' and make sure you
aren't running out of memory slinging those files.

OK - I'll try the secondary master.  Maybe it's a small bug with FreeBSD
that some device needs to be on the master in order to be detected; it
might be confusing the probe when nothing is on the master.

Why would my performance go down the tube?
I'm not sure I see that one; since /usr/src and /usr/obj are the same
partition anyway, what's the difference?

Hi there ...

When I fire up xanim, sometimes I get this error:

shmget: No space left on device

Does anyone know what causes this?

Thanks

Oops... Thats what happens when you copy the stuff from Sysinstall (Hard to

No, what's actually happening is: The IDE controller is enabled in the
Peripherals section of the BIOS, the BIOS's hard drive table (i.e. Drive C: =
Not installed, Drive D: = Not installed) means the system will not try to boot
off the IDE drive, and will continue to boot from the SCSI - and FreeBSD (when
it's installed it's driver) will let me use the IDE - as it's not booting from
the IDE it doesn't need the geometry from the BIOS (aka Dangerously Dedicated
etc.)

Hmmm... This doesn't really apply to me as my root filesystem, swap - in fact
everything the system needs is on SCSI, not ide... I could understand the
system going south if the swap / root filesystem disappeared. but not when
just the IDE controller / drive is giving it grief...

_ANYWAY_

The good news is I solved the problem... Looking through LINT I decided to
fiddle with the flags for wdc0... The drive will hapily work with 'Multi-Block
I/O' on (the drive reckons it supports 16 block mode), but not with 32 bit
transfers on.

As soon as 32 bit transfers are on - the system gets Interrupt Timeouts etc.

I'm not really worried about 32 bit transfers at the moment, they would be
nice (and the old drive I used to use on the system must have supported them -
as they were still in my kernel config), but I can wait...

Thanks for your help Doug!

Regards,

Karl

My mistake - I assumed the Prosignias had the same onboard controller.  I had
to dig deep through my old documentation to find which controller "my"
machine had, and it was indeed a 53c810.

	There is extensive commentary on this in the search pages on the www
site. As I recall, the first extended partition is always s5, with
succeeding partitions being 6, 7, etc. So in your example, try
/dev/wd1s5.

Good luck,

Hi!
I think FreeBSD 2.1 is too old version.
Plz get new version FreeBSD & install.
Also you may read my description of installation ( in Russian )
in http://www.chat.ru/~osa


Rgdz,
Ozz,
osa@unibest.ru
osa@chat.ru

P.S. I think you may set your CD-ROM in slave-mode ON FIRST IDE-controller
ONLY!

Actually Doug, I do compile my -stable kernel with pgcc version 2.7.2p.  I
do have to make minor modifications to my makefile because, as you say,
pgcc is a bit buggy, and will not compile a few of the kernel programs. 
Here is a list of the files that I compile with the standard GNU
distribution in my kernel build.  Naturally, someone else's machine will
have different hardware and will config for different source, so this
might not represent a complete list. 
Also, attached is my patchfile that I apply to my kernel Makefile before I
build.  It basically explicitly calls out the GNU C compiler for the
following source files, and uses the PGCC compiler to compile the others.
For the record, I have not observed any performance improvement with this
compiler.  I have used lmbench (available in the ports collection) to benchmark
different kernel builds, in an attempt to quantitize any performance
increases.  In gross summary, I didn't find any statistically significant
differences, but I still use pgcc to build my kernel.
As far as building my entire filesystem, well, I have not successfully
ever done that.  I usually just rebuild tar and gzip after a "world" make.

Here are those files that pgcc chokes on:

ioconf.c
isofs/cd9660/cd9660_vnops.c
kern/kern_clock.c
kern/kern_resource.c
kern/subr_prof.c
kern/vfs_bio.c
kern/vfs_conf.c
nfs/nfs_bio.c
nfs/nfs_serv.c
pci/if_de.c
i386/i386/identcpu.c
i386/isa/clock.c
i386/isa/random_machdep.c
i386/isa/spkr.c

Hi,

as the subject says: Is the Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA 
supported? The fxp driver, as for the other EtherExpress
cards, does not work.

Thanks,

If you can't find the 3.3.2 servers, or you just want to try the SuSE
servers under FreeBSD, try renaming the server from XSUSE_Matrox to
XF86_Matrox.  It worked for me, barring problems with my fontpath (the
new server seems pickier) in my XF86Config file.

My guess is you also have an ATAPI CD-ROM as master on first channel of
wdc0, or some other (bootable) device - this combination (to a reason
unknown to me - is it MB fault or someone elses...) results in bootloader
wrongly assuming it's being booted off the wd0.

You can defeat it by specifying -a flag, and then responsing with 'da0' to
the prompt asking which device to mount on root. This is only a
workaround, not a solution - I'll have to investigate it more before
giving you any other advice...

So was I dropped from the all the lists, including the lists which are
subscribed to under the different email address?  If so, can whoever
dropped me please re-instate me.  Also, why was I dropped, if that is the
case?  To the best of my knowledge, no messages were bounced from either
account.  When they had the big crash a couple of weeks ago, I was not
dropped on the restore.

See ,y other posting - probably the probe is ok (though I wouldn't mind
seeing it :-)), and the kernel finds the controller as well as disk. The
problem, though, is that bootloader wrongly assumes that the controller it
was booted from is wdc0, and it looks for bootable partition there.

I'm not sure if it's the motherboard lying to it, or if it's a dubious
assumption made in bootloader...

I was debugging some problems in an /etc/login.conf file and noticed an
oddity that seems like a mistake, but before I submitted a PR I thought
I'd ask. In the entries for root (both auth and capapbilities) there is
a :\ at the end of the record where it seems like only a : is expected.
Here are the relevant entries:

auth-root-defaults:\
        :auth-login=krb_skey_or_passwd,passwd,kerberos,skey:\
        :auth-rlogin=krb_or_skey,kerberos,skey:\

root:\
	lots of stuff
        :tc=auth-root-defaults:\

	Everything works as expected with these trailing \'s removed, although
I'd not noticed a problem with them in place. If there is some reason
that these are needed, perhaps a comment in the file would be in order
to help people like me? :)

	On a related note, the :priority key word doesn't seem to take negative
values. I didn't play with it much though. 

Hope I'm not too far off base,

Doug

after i did a "make world" and recompiled the kernel X is now causing me

I remember having had to do this a long time ago.

As far as I know, there is only one UUCP program for DOS.  It is called
"Fubar Systems UUCP" (FSUUCP).  You might want to use Archie or a Web
search engine to find it (try http://www.shareware.com/) -- I'm sure there
are still copies floating around somewhere.  (yes it is PD/shareware)

There was a program for the Mac called "Mac-gnuucp" -- for some reason my
mind keeps telling me that someone made a DOS version fo this proram as
well, although I could be wrong.  You might want to search on this as well.

Best of luck to you.  If I can be of further assistance, please let me
know.

If you have a sd0 and a wd0, you need to specify the boot as:

1:sd(0,a)kernel
^  note the "1"

It says so (or should, anyway) in the boot messages (right before the
boot: prompt).

Try this, maybe it will help...

One message is enough.

What's your hardware configuration?

Hi,

I see that undetected and hard to configure 3C509 problems are a
fairly common problem. Sorry but I just lost my saved mail on this
problem, so .......

1. I have a Micronics Twister baby AT motherboard does anyone know of
a way to detect 3C509 with this m/board please. I have picked up the
"Complete FreeBSD" book but can't see a section dealing with
undetected cards ?

2. I have also a QDI TX Jumperless Motherboard on a second machine -
this board found its 3C509 immediately and is running FreeBSD like a
dream.

I wasn't sure where to mention this fact so please excuse my mailing
it here.

thanks

Chris R

hi!

Does FreeBSD have drivers for any of these NICs :

- EtherWORKS Turbo PCI (DE435)
- EtherWORKS Turbo EISA (DE425)

Both are based on DEC Chip 21040.

A grep on -current source tree didn't show anything but are there any
uncommitted drivers floating around per-chance or someone developing
drivers ?

Good Morning!

I have installed FreeBSD on a 486 computer, on a 503 M partition. I
cannot have access to the CDRom, because it is a proprietary make, a
Matsushita/Panasonic from Creative Lab, SoundBlaster Pro, external. Do
you have a patch that would give access to the CDRom? or a means to go
around this difficulty??

Does the Netscape Communicator for Linux 2.x work on FreeBSD?

Hi, I tried FreeBSD on a 486-33MHz, 8MB RAM, 258MB HDD, but I lacked HDD for the programs I rather to install. So I´m trying to put DOS back on it, of course, deleting first the non-DOS partition and creating a new active DOS partition on the whole drive. This goes well, then reboot the PC (with the floppy inserted) and format c: with the /s switch to transfer the system files, and all is going great. But when I reboot again without the floppy the prompt puts a message like:

Not a bootable partition

Did FreeBSD exclusively format my HDD for itself for ever?
Some ideas on this?

Please help, I´m in a hurry to put to work this PC again, my boss wasn´t too much happy with the idea of FreeBSD and now HE wants DOS again.

Hello.  In section 3.3 of the on-line tutorial concerning enabling

the sysconfig file in /etc.  I have just installed FreeBSD 2.2 and I
don't have this file anywhere
on my system.  What do I do?  Thanks for your help.

Did you remember to mark the partition from which you want to boot as active
using fdisk.exe's "Set active partition option"?

If that doesn't work, try to run 'fdisk.exe /mbr' on that drive.  That should
restore the master boot record.

Subject:	ISO/OSI stack support on FreeBSD

Hi,

I am currently using FreeBSD v2.2.2 on i386.

While understanding the OS build procedure I realized that FreeBSD 
has OSI support but it is not shipped with the distribution/sources because 
of 'lack of interest' (I found this mentioned in the file "/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT").

I am interested in getting the ISO/OSI related sources (/usr/src/sys/netiso directory 
I presume, possibly with other files) so that I could build a kernel with OSI stack support in it.

Is it possible to get the missing OSI stack related files ? If yes how ?

Regards

Manish

Hello,

I have setup a 2.2.5 machine as a dialin server using pppd and two
internel usr sportsters 28.8. Am having a problem with connect speed. When
I dialin and connect it only connects at 9600, if I attach to the modem
with cu and dialout I get a 28.8 connect. 

Is this a problem with the config of the modems?

XFree86 3.3.2 is out now, and its SVGA server has support for the
Millenium II, both PCI and AGP. You can fetch XF86 3.3.2 from
ftp.xfree86.org or any mirror.

I have a FreeBSD machine between the internet and most of my LAN.
It is running squid and socks5. Everything seems to work great
except I can't get the AOL Instant Messenger software to work with
my socks5 configuration.

During my testing I have tried everything I could think of including
just opening the socks5.conf file wide open and allowing anything
(anything from anywhere to anywhere using any auth method).
It still doesn't work. *sigh*

Does anyone have the AOL instant messenger software working using
socks5 and would care to share their messenger and socks 
configurations?

     Ray,
     
     You should be able to find a FreeBSD native (not LINUX) version of 
     Netscape Communicator in netscape's FTP archive ("unsupported" branch)
     
     This should be easier to set up on a FreeBSD machine.

OK, I got that part solved.  It turns out that sysinstall showed the
linux-lib package as being installed, but in reality it was only patially
installed.  Some of the libs had gotten deleted somehow.  *Now*, when I
try to run staroffice it displays the splash screen, quits out and says:
Could not open XPrinter.
Please make sure your XPPATH is set correctly.
Calling exit()
I looked in the .sd.sh file and the variable XPPATH is set to
/usr/local/Staroffice-3.1/xpm which does exist.
I dunno.  This problem's progressing, slowly, but at least it's going
somewhere.  I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!

I did run it with the -g option.  I'm trying to run it via cron job.  I do

here's my command:

Hello all,

I am running a Sun Ultra2 with Netscape Enterprise server 3.5.1, also have
P166 running 2.2.5-R and Apache 1.2.4.  Both are on 100/Ethernet.

Is there a good reason why the P166 would bench at about 60 requests/second
and the Ultra2 only about 15 requests/second?  These tests were run using 3
NT workstations as "web" clients.

My employer insists that this is wrong.  I used Web Bench 1.1 from ZDNet.

Thank you,

Mark C.

The motherboard isn't likely to figure significantly in the equation 
here, although the BIOS might.  To get a 509 working, you need to turn 
off PnP with the DOS configuration program.  There are also some 
conflicts with other PnP cards even then; you may want to shuffle back 
and forth until you isolate the problem.

Assuming you are looking for something for the dos machine, look
for UUPC (note the reversal of the last two letters).  If you need
email and news too look for SNUUPM.

I see Drew Derbyshire on the lists from time to time, maybe he
could supply a URL :)

Hello,

I think vx0 needs to be set to 10 Mbut/s or 100 Mbit/s manually, with a
DOS utility from 3Com. The default setting is auto, and I don't think
this works. Have you checked this? This is normally realized by the
kernel and it shall print an error message, but maybe something goes
wrong?

Hope this helps

Reportedly, pgcc doesn't generate correct code and thus builds a faulty
kernel.  Perhaps they fixed that.

Putting the object files and source files on the same disk causes
contention for the disk device, hurting build times.  It's best to have
src and obj on different disks.  This applies generally for simultaneous
access for other instances, ie databases. Of course this only applies to
SCSI, IDE doesn't support disks doing their own things independently.

ENOSPC is returned if there isn't enough space to allocate the shared
memory space required, either the system is ot of VM or you need more
shared memory handles.  The shared memory handles can be tuned by a kernel
compile option which is in LINT.

What brand & model of disk is this?  I'll keep it in mind.

OK, that makes sense.  I really wish we supported the 710 based on the
number of requests I see.  I suppose someone will need to borrow the dox
from Symbios and get hacking...

Don't think the ISA one is, no.  fxp is for PCI.

I think hub is still sick.  Ask majordomo if you're still subscribed, and
if not, resubscribe yourself.  Inquiries should really go to
postmaster@freebsd.org, not me (unless you're implying that I volunteer
for a particular position :-) )

Yes -- it's a violation of IDE spec. if you have a slave and no master.

There should be continuations (the \ escape the return) for each line
except the last.  That is the standard capability database format.

Nobody said they were all implemented :)

There are plenty of reasons why this could happen. You provide absolutely
no information that could help one analyze why. How much RAM? What does
iostat output look like? vmstat? How much time is your system spending in
I/O wait? Have you looked at Netscape's performance tuning documents? Anything
anomalous in netstat -s?

In any case, this is a question for a list like sun-managers@ra.mcs.anl.gov,
not Free-BSD Questions.

We have several Ultra 2s in different configurations running Netscape
Enterprise 2.0.1, and see better performance (by either one or two
orders of magnitude, depending on what you're calling a "request").

>My employer insists that this is wrong.  I used Web Bench 1.1 from ZDNet.

People paying for expensive hardware usually don't like to see results like
that, no. I can certainly believe those results, though, for a misconfigured
box.

Make yourself useful by offering up lots of code or to fix bugs.  This is
a major responsibility since you will be given hails of hatemail and
presented with pointy hats if you commit things and they break `make
world'.  If you submit enough, someone may offer you commit privs.

The 21040 is handled generically by the de driver.  We may have to add the
device IDs but that isn't difficult.

Depends on what inteface the driver uses.  if it's the
Matsushita/Panasonic interface, you might be able to convince the matcd0
device to read it.  What model of CDROM do you have?

Sure does, just make sure you have the linux-lib port installed and the
linux emulator enabled in /etc/rc.conf.

Hmm, I thought so because it's a different chip on it.

Do you know of any other 100 MB card which works in ISA boards?

Hm, last time I did this I just swiped the X libs from my workstation just
to shut it up.  

I Think there is a no-x version floating around, check the master site.

Compex stuff is usually Digital-based, so it should work. We might have to
add the device and vendor IDs if th changed them.

I am running FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE with NATD on the external interface
named vx0. The internal interface de0 is NOT using natd.

I am tring to get SKIP 1.0 running on the vx0 interface but
every time I run it, all looks OK until I send a
packet in/out the interface, at which time it reboots the system.

I just hangs quietly for about 30 seconds and reboots. No errors,
no panics, nothing.

SKIP is just the vanila setup that gets created when it is installed.
the acl.vx0 file is
----
skiphost -i vx0 -p
skiphost -i vx0 -o off
----

I tried to change the '-o off' to '-o on' but this did not help.

When the system boots, the skipd program says 'driver loaded'.

All looks good until I send data.

Any ideas ???

Hi,

Forgive my stupidity, but aren't the X servers that SUSE produces for
Linux?  Are you running them using the Linux compatibility libraries?

Hello.

	I have an X display, and xloadimage and other such color intensive
programs screw up because I have 256 RGB colors and it wants to allocate
more than I have. Is their any way increase the number of colors I can
display at once? Thanks.

Well, it still should not get the same CPU-cycles a gzip without niceness
gets. The niceness does not affect the scheduling at all.

Mine is chugging fine as well, but it should not do so with other processes
requiering CPU-time.

couple of guesses:

I = international version (re: encryption)
PPC = Power PC

as for why they are all Mozilla, MicroSoft made theirs Mozilla, with the
"compatible" in the string. Someone once explained it to me as some sort
of compliance or compatibility with *mumble* but I can't remember exactly 
what or why.

sorry.

dear sirs,

I found out what was causing the problem with my walnut creek cdrom
install.
my toshiba cdrom drive (14x32 eide, model xm-6202b) is not supported. it
is
set up on IRQ 15, 0x0170 io. I can get to the installation setup, modify
the slices,
etc. but when it comes time to actually install, it can't find the
CDROM. Any
suggestions?

thanks.
ps: please send email to above .  Thanks.

I just submitted a PR containing a fix for this. I don't know
when it will get committed, but here's what you can do in the
meantime.

Replace the file "patches/patch-bf" in the port with the file below
and then rebuild and reinstall the port. This should fix the problem.

Hi


I have installed cyrus pop3/imap ports. In my imapd.conf is also:

   # The percent  of  quota  utilization  over  which  the server generates
   # warnings.
   #
   quotawarn: 90

There are also quotas on mailboxes. From cyradm:

localhost.uni-mb.si> lqr user.jimmy
user.jimmy STORAGE 10603/10000 (106%)

localhost.uni-mb.si> 

But, where can I see some warnings? In jimmy's mailbox are they not...
Any idea?


David

I had a somewhat similar problem with a BTC cdrom and an ASUS P55T2P4. Whenever
I overclocked my 120 to 133, everything worked fine, but the CDROM wasn't 
detected. This was under 2.2.2-RELEASE.

I have a new machine.  It has no IDE drives and has a blank

them all on floppies (using tar) and created the boot.flp floppy (using

When I try to boot from the floppy, it goes through the initial stuff,
gets the boot: prompt, then automatically starts booting from the
floppy.  It goes through a couple of lines like "text=0x000120 blocks=04

this).  Then the system reboots and starts the whole process over.  It
keeps going through the same series of steps (boot, restart, boot,
restart, ...) until I turn the machine off.

Where am I going wrong?  What can I do?

Thanks,
Chris Monser

I have noticed that my /etc/services file has some entries in it that 
i'm not sure what to do about:

mtp	57/tcp	#deprecated
#!PROBLEMS ===================
#	57/tcp	any private terminal access
#!PROBLEMS ===================
#	57/udp	any private terminal access

and it goes on and on.  am i supposed to do something in here? or is 
it self fixing?  if i'm supposed to comment out the lines, do i just 
do the offending line? or both the tcp and udp lines?

Thanks,

ken

rchie, thanks for your patch changes to /.patch-bf'.
It seems to have solved the hang/reboot.

I have another question.

I want to setup the following rules...

A tunnel using DES-CBC for keys and 3DES for traffic to network 199.212.36.0.
ie: just a tunnel between me and them. This is my setup below. Turned off...

When I turned it on, everything stops..... A reboot is needed.



skiphost -i vx0 -p
skiphost -i vx0 -a 199.212.36.0 -M 255.255.255.0 -k des-cbc -t des-ede-k3
skiphost -i vx0 -o off


The gateway I use is 199.246.76.1
The IP address for vx0 is 199.246.76.3
The IP address for de0 is 199.246.76.129

Netmasks are 255.255.255.128

a picture....

I'm installing FreeBSD [via FTP] for the first time, on a former NT
Server box [Micron PPro200, single CPU, IDE, Dec NIC].
The boot.flp seemed to find all hardware no problem.

1]  While trying to install first time I selected partition A(ll) to FreeBSD,
then tried to continue with Novice install.  It would repeatedly just
toss me back to the main install selection menu, with no error message.
I then chose the "maintain DOS compatibility" option, and got same results.
Went to Custom install, A(ll) to FreeBSD, and installer started writing the
partition info, them gave me a "panic...can't continue without my init", 
then a "sync'ing" message, then died.  Is this a WinNT-caused issue?
Finally:
Went to Custom, "maintain DOS compatibiity", and this time it started
actually installing from FTP.  Left the machine working at about 7:30pm
last nite.  This morning found the install frozen at "178176 bytes read
from X331I128 dist @ 7.9kb" during "Extracting X331I128 into /usr/X11R6
directory".
Checked the FAQ, and tried to search manual, but could not find anything
of help to my situation.
Any suggestions as to where I screwed up and/or what best course of
action is?  [I'd really rather give the whole disk to FreeBSD, if that's
possible/prudent.]

TIA.................Mike

Thanks in advanced

Do you think USB will be better?  I suppose that PnP doesn't work well is
a known fact.  Anyway I rearranged the COM ports - I have mouse on COM2
and modem (not PnP) on COM1. I still wouldn't mind a guess as to why I
could not do the reverse (mouse on COM1, modem on COM2).  Could this be a
BIOS bug or defective motherboard?  I've finally figured out the MB
manufacturer - PCChips model M571.  Hope Windoze NT can deal with this
(sort of).

Thanks

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===================================================

Last update 23 February 1998

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.

This document is also available on the web at

II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  Should I ask -questions or -hackers?
IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:    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 one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where
      keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For
      example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
      grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to
      grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from
      the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
      which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
      FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, 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 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: Should I ask -questions or -hackers?
=========================================

Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD,
FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In some cases, it's not really
clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help
for 99% of all questions, however:

     If the question is of a general nature, ask
     FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling
     FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility.

     If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure,
     or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to
     FreeBSD-questions.

     If the question relates to a bug, and you're sure that it's a bug
     (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it
     happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to
     FreeBSD-hackers.

     If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can
     make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the
     message to FreeBSD-hackers.

There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for
example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet
Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this
doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to
FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest
to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that
way.

IV:  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
      even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not
      get an answer if you don't. 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 or badly configured
      mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly
      formatted messages without you finding out about them:

      Eudora 
      exmh 
      Microsoft Exchange 
      Microsoft Internet Mail 
      Microsoft Outlook 
      Netscape 

      As you can see, 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.

      For further information on this subject, check
      http://www.lemis.com/email.html.

  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.

         If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the
         configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of
         authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic
         IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file?

  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 (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). 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".

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


V: 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.

                    Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition




                        Last revision: 16 February 1997

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading  edge  com-
puter  books  are  out  of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception.  The sec-
ond  edition  has  only  just  been published, but already a number of bugs and
changes have surfaced.

The following is a list of modifications which go beyond  simple  typos.   They
relate  to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997.  If you have this
book, please check this list.  If you have the first edition of 19  July  1996,
please  check  ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1.  This  same file is also
available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/.

This list is available in four forms:

o A    PostScript    version,     suitable     for     printing     out,     at
  ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps.  See  page 222 of the book to find
  out how to print out PostScript.  If at all possible, please take this  docu-
  ment: it's closest to the original text.

  Be  careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to
  reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version.

o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When
  viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and under-
  lining.  It's not suitable for direct viewing.

o An ASCII-only version at  ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii.  This
  version  is  posted  every  week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list.  Only
  take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be  sure
  that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning.

o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html.













All  these  modifications  have  been applied to the ongoing source text of the

General changes


o In  a  number  of  places, I suggest the use of the following command to find
  process information:

  $ ps aux | grep foo

  Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the  terminal  emulator
  upon  which  it  is working.  This command usually works fine on a relatively
  wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it  may  truncate
  exactly  the  information  you're  looking for, so you end up with no output.
  You can fix that with the w option:

  $ ps waux | grep foo

  Thanks to Sue Blake  for this information


Location of the sample files

The 2.2.5 CD-ROM came out before the book, and it contains  the  files  on  the
third     (repository)    CD-ROM    as    a    single    gzipped    tar    file
/xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz.  It contains the following files:

To extract one of these files, say cfbsd/docs/packages.txt,  and  assuming  you
have the CD-ROM mounted as /cdrom, enter:

# cd /usr/share/doc
# tar xvzf /cdrom/xperimnt/cfbsd/cfbsd.tar.gz cfbsd/docs/packages.txt

See page 209 for more information on using tar.

These files are an early version of what is described in the book.  I'll put up
some updated versions on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/ in the near future.

Thanks to Frank McCormick  for drawing this to my  attention.

Page 45:  Preparing floppies for installation

Replace  the paragraph below the list of file names (in the middle of the page)
with:

The floppy set should contain the file bin.inf and the ones whose  names  start
with  bin.  followed  by  two  letters.  These other files are all 240640 bytes
long, except for the final one which is usually shorter.  Use the  MS-DOS  COPY
program  to copy as many files as will fit onto each disk (5 or 6) until you've
got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion.  Copy  each  dis-
tribution  into  subdirectory corresponding to the base name--for example, copy
the bin distribution to the files A:\BIN\BIN.INF, A:\BIN\BIN.AA and so on.

Page 80 and 81

In a couple of examples, the FreeBSD partition is shown as type 164.  It should
be  165.   Thanks  to an unknown contributer for this correction (sorry, I lost
your name).

Page 140

Just before the paragraph The super user add the following paragraph:

If you do manage to lose the root password, all may not be lost.   You'll  have
to reboot the machine to single user mode (see page 157), and enter:












# mount -u /             mount root file system read/write
# passwd root            change the password for root
Enter new password:
Enter password again:
# ^D                enter ctrl-D to continue with startup

Note  that  you should explicitly state the name root: in single user mode, the
system doesn't have the concept of user IDs.

Page 160

Replace the text at the fourth bullet with the augmented text:

The second-level boot locates the kernel, by default the file  /kernel  on  the
root file system, and loads it into memory.  It prints the Boot: prompt at this
point so that you can influence this choice--see the man page on page  579  for
more details of what you can enter at this prompt.

Page 176

Add the following paragraph

Unmounting file systems

When you mount a file system, the system assumes it is going to stay there, and
in the interests of efficiency it delays writing data back to the file  system.
This  is the same effect we discussed on page 158.  As a result, if you want to
stop using a file system, you need to tell the system about it.   You  do  this
with  the umount command.  Note the spelling--there's no n in the command name.

You need to do this even with read-only media such as CD-ROMs: the  system  as-
sumes  it can access the data from a mounted file system, and it gets quite un-
happy if it can't.  Where possible, it locks removable media so that you  can't
remove them from the device until you unmount them.

Using  umount  is straightforward: just tell it what to unmount, either the de-
vice name or the directory name.  For example, to unmount the CD-ROM we mounted
in the example above, you could enter one of these commands:

# umount /dev/cd1a
# umount /cd1

Before  unmounting  a  file  system, umount checks that nobody is using it.  If












somebody is using it, it will refuse to unmount it with a message like  umount:
/cd1: Device busy.  This message often occurs because you have changed your di-
rectory to a directory on the file system you  want  to  remove.   For  example
(which also shows the usefulness of having directory names in the prompt):

=== root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 16 -> umount /cd1
umount: /cd1: Device busy
=== root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) /cd1 17 -> cd
=== root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 18 -> umount /cd1
=== root@freebie (/dev/ttyp2) ~ 19 ->

Thanks to Ken Deboy  for pointing out this
omission.

Page 197, first line

The text of the first full sentence reads:

The first name, up the the  symbol, is the label.

In fact, it should read:

The first name, up to the | symbol, is the label.


Page 208, middle of page

The example shows the file name /dev/rst0 when  using  the  Bourne  shell,  and
/dev/nrst0  when  using  C  shell  and  friends.   This  is  inconsistent;  use
/dev/nrst0 with any shell if you want a non-rewinding tape, or /dev/rst0 if you
want a rewinding tape.

Thanks to Norman C Rice  for pointing out this one.

Page 283, ``Creating the source tree''

Add a third point to what you need to know:

3.   Possibly,  the date of the last update that you want to be included in the
     checkout.  If you specify this date, cvs ignores any more recent  updates.
     This  option is often useful when somebody discovers a recently introduced
     bug in -CURRENT: you check out the modules as they were before the bug was
     introduced.   You  specify the date with the -D option, for example -D "10












     December 1997".


Page 285, after the second example.

Add the text:

If you need to check out an older version, for example if  there  are  problems
with the most recent version of -CURRENT, you could enter:

# cvs co  -D "10 December 1997" src/sys

This command checks out the kernel sources as of 10 December 1997.

Page 397

In the section ``Nicknames'', the example should read:

www       IN   CNAME          freebie
ftp       IN   CNAME          presto

In other words, there should be a space between CNAME and the system name.

Page 364, middle of page

Change the text from:

The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each
end of the link.  They must be written as shown, though they may  be  in  lower
case.

to

The names MYADDR and HISADDR are keywords which represent the addresses at each
end of the link.  They must be written as shown, though newer versions  of  ppp
allow you to write them in lower case.

Thanks to Mark S. Reichman  for this correction.

Page 466, before the ps example

Add another bullet:













o Finally,  you may find it convenient to let some other system handle all your
  mail delivery for you: you just send anything you can't  deliver  locally  to
  this  other  host,  which  sendmail calls a smart host.  This is particularly
  convenient if you send your mail with UUCP.

  To tell sendmail to use a smart host (in our  case,  mail.example.net),  find
  the following line in sendmail.cf:

  # "Smart" relay host (may be null)
  DS

  Change it to:

  # "Smart" relay host (may be null)
  DSmail.example.net


Page 478, ``Running Apache''

The  text  describes the location of the server as /usr/local/www/server/httpd.
This appears to depend on where you get the port from.  Some people report  the
file  being  at the more likely location /usr/local/sbin/httpd (though note the
directory sbin, not bin).  Check  both  locations  if  you  run  into  trouble.
Thanks to Sue Blake  for this information.

Page 493

Replace the last sentence on the page with:

Select  the  socket  options TCP_NODELAY and IPTOS_LOWDELAY, which can speed up
the response time of such applications by over 95%.

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a
web page or any other online documentation.  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.  If you
have this book, please check this list.  If you have the second
edition (16 December 1997), please check the parallel posting or get
the file at ftp://www.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.  

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

         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

sorry about the two messages. the first bounced back.

anyway....

i reinstalled FreeBSD lastnight (not because of this) to increase my
FreeBSD partition 
size. i decided to get X running before i upgraded to STABLE. the problem
occured with the 2.2.5-RELEASE.

when i tested FreeBSD for the first time before i switched from Linux, this
problem did not occur with 2.2.5-RELEASE. i am using exactly the same
hardware setup now as when it worked fine.

my hardware is :
STB Velocity video card (S3 VirgeVX)
PPro200
128mb RAM
IDE HD's

Ciao.
Ashley.

Hmmm.  Can you try it again with the GENERIC kernel?

Nothing obvious there.

Hi.

I'm looking for a CD ripper, like tosha, called cdd.  If anyone knows
where I can find it I'd appreciate it.

	Hello all,

	I am getting odd netstat output. The machine is somewhat busy web
server (it only does httpd, about 100000 hits per day) running apache
1.2.5 and 2.2.5-RELEASE with custom kernel which has: 
options         NMBCLUSTERS=8192        #mbuf clusters at 8192
options         CHILD_MAX=1024          #max number of child processes
options         OPEN_MAX=1024

	Here is what do I mean by weird netstat outputs:

% netstat -a
Active Internet connections (including servers)

	The "???" was in the output, I didn't stick it in there. :)
	Doing netstat -a again a second later worked just fine, but this
time I got: (notice the negative numbers)

AX.25 started as X.25 but expanded the address field from 8 bits to 8
bytes. I believe a lot of work also was applied to various protocol
timers to deal with very slow RF networks (300 and 1200 baud is common)
and slow-to-key radios. Am not sure the removed X.25 code would have 
been of any use but for reading material.

The AX.25 protocol spec is available from http://www.tapr.org/ in PDF 
format.

You can do AX.25 in user space, much like PPP, with TNOS. TNOS 2.22 used
to compile cleanly on FreeBSD, I know because I provided the patches to
the author. I didn't keep up with TNOS 2.30 so it has a couple of
gotchas and a heavy Linux bent. TNOS can be had from 
http://www.lantz.com and ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/. Hint: download the Linux
binaries too, that's the only way you'll get the entire runtime
directrory structure TNOS requires. Maybe one day I'll submit a FreeBSD
port to eliminate the configure and compile hassles. Even better, maybe
someone will beat me to the port.

There was a bug in 2.2.5's lpd system which caused it to simply quit 
several megabytes into a large job. About 30 pages into a 500 page page 
job when it bit me. No core dumps, no error messages, no lpd daemon to 
service the queue.

Someone who knows how to run CVS or the GNATS stuff could locate the 
exact cure. 

Updated sources, "cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/lpr/lpd", and "make install"
cured my problem.

previously i had sent a message about installing the XIG server
and xterm not working, well I reinstalled X from the CD and all seems to be 
working again along with the XIG accellerator.

for some reason .xinitrc MUST be in your home directory and .steprc also
must be there or X will exit as soon as it tries to run the window manager.

this is unlike XF86_SVGA server.

   This can happen whenever the internal state of the kernel changes while
the
information is being read. It can be made somewhat more robust and I might
take a stab at it before 2.1R.

	I am still curious regarding the negative numbers in netstat's
output and how can it be solved easy (I assume int or float overflow?)

  What kind of process do you do to get packages in shape for
inclusion?  Other than the "it compiles out of the box" source code,
what tests are run, or at least, what has kept perl5 out of the
FreeBSD package?

Does anyone know if the freebsd passwd and shadow files are compatible
with Solaris?  I need to sync a couple of machines for fallback service
and I'm getting tired of my Sun boxes reliability, or lack thereof.

Is this a good place for NIS+ ???

Please cc: me directly since my mailbox can't handle as many lists as I'd
like.

Has anyone been sucessful with getting a cyrix mediagx system to run X
windows? I can switch modes, and X appears to be running fine, but the
vertical sync is off by at least a factor of two....

Any clues on where to start?

Hi, All !

I just installed cvsup-mirror from ports.
When I try to update from freefall.freebsd.org, it say, that I have not
permissions.
What can I do ?
Thanks.

They need to build with Berkeley Make, e.g. "bmaked".

For references, see /usr/src/contrib and some of the packages
already there.

	Do you remember around when this update went through? I installed
apsfilter on 2/16 but it caused lpd to dump core every time it ran. I
haven't had a chance to play with it again since, but if there was a
real fix for lpd between now and then I might give it a go.

Thanks,

Doug

Be careful also about system memory allocation.  I have had serious
problems with the region between 512K and 640K, and so you might
want to tell the system to avoid it.  This gave me fits for about
2wks.  (This is indeed on a MediaGX system.)

I'll take a look at that... I'm about 2 hours into a buildworld, and haven't
had any problems so far.

The only other side effect I'm seeing is that the screensaver won't
activate.

I can't really understand it. :) Same hard drive, moved to an intel system,
the screen saver runs fine. :) (tried both daemon and blank)

Hello,
This may seem like a dumb question, but I've got several users
who are just sitting on my machine, and I want to log them out.

I've tried just killing their processes, but even then they
remain listed in utmp.

I'm sure there is a simple solution for this...

Thanks in advance,

It could be anything.  Could be RAM, could be disk, could be server
configuration, could be your benchmarking setup.

Benchmarking is hard to do right and you can end up generating a lot of
data with hard numbers that are meaningless.  Ziff Davis has done it
enough times, and they write the software.  (although you have people in
one place writing it, people in another place doing the testing, and
people in a third place doing the article normally...)

Check the latency for the Solaris box.  If you are seeing consistent
~200ms latencies for all requests under all loads, you are probably
running into an interaction between NT's and Solaris's interpretations of
slow start.  If this is the problem, you can "fix" (ie. make it agree with
what NT wants) it on your Solaris box somehow, but this is a FreeBSD list
and I don't remember what to do. 

Let me just say that as much as I like FreeBSD and Apache and think they
can perform very well when configured correctly, the difference in numbers
that you are seeing is not due to any inherent performance difference
unless your Ultra is massively underequipped in some way (eg. 8 megs of
RAM).

I have Win95 OSR2, which gives me a FAT32 partition. THis does not seem
to be listed in the boot manager window, but that's not the big problem:
I d/led just about everything off the ftp site, and put it into
c:\freebsd\... but I don't know what to input when it asks me (I used
"file system" because DOS partition did not work). Please help, and
thanks a lot.

Um... I'm confused... /usr/src/contrib looks like the original code
to these things.  At least in -stable.  Isn't /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin
the "bmake-ified" versions where they're actually built from?

And we're talking about making perl5 the "default" perl,
ie the perl in /usr/bin/perl -- as opposed to the "port" perl,
/usr/local/bin/perl, which already exists and works, right?

I was thinking of taking a look at this, and rapidly saw that it's
not a trivial task, so had to skip it.  But for future reference,
I assume what's wanted here is to unpack, pre-"configure" and
"bmake-ify" any such package so that it builds as part of, and
in the same style as, a "make world" -- as opposed to the "use 
the packages own configure script, but trigger the right responses"
that the ports use?

Yes, this is the part that needs to be done.  Vendor-branch importing
the originals, modulo the removal of any components not strictly
needed by FreeBSD, is the easy part.  Then you need to construct
the bmake "skeletons" that actually build the bits.  In former times
the two were combined and /usr/src/contrib didn't exist at all,
but we've made it somewhat cleaner now.

Correct.

I'm in the process of switching to a fast speed ISP and I wanted to setup my
local LAN to access the Net via the single connection...

>From what I understand I could setup FBSD as a proxy server so that the rest
of the LAN can access the NET through the ISP.

A little info:
My ISP:
My ISP client setup is quite easy.  A Motorola Cable modem hooked up via NIC
card. IP and DNS is assigned via DHCP server.

My LAN:
My LAN isn't that big, actually it will only be on client (does not include
the BSD box).  However I need the capability of adding other machines at a
later time.

Possible Possibilites:
#1 Hook up one computer directly to the modem as the ISP sugests...

#2 Purchase hub, cabaling, hook modem to uplink on hub w/ cross over twisted
pair cable, hook individual computers to hub.  Pay ISP for additional IP's
for each machine (max of IP's is 5)

#3 Setup Win9x or WinNT w/ proxy server such as wingate. Need second nic
card in the proxy machine.

#4 Setup a BSD box as a proxy hook computers on second NIC card.

Why not some possible possiblities:
#1 HEY, I want multiple computers on the NET.

#2 Not only expensive but, HEY, it's EXPENSIVE!, did i mention that it costs
alot ;-)

#3 Quick setup under 1hour (I have done this before).  Slow thourougput
performance.

#4 Sounds fun to setup, and challenging.  Never done this before, so I
reserve a week to set this up properly.  Rumour has it that this setup might
actually achieve beter thourougput than option one due to Windoze
architecture (Yes of course I could use FBSD as my client computer but, hey,
BSD is NOT my work station of choice).

So finally my question is, how do I go about achieving option #4.
Here a few things that I hope to have by seting up option#4:
1. It works!
2. I could log on to the proxy server and it would assign my workstation a
dynamic IP (this is not necessary, this something cool I would like to
setup)
3. Don't expect much else, but we will have to see.

What I will do once I get this to work!
1. Publish a web page where you could point others in this situation to; and
never here from them again (in a good way)!


Thank you for all your time,
Stephane

I would use natd(8) to allow the hosts on your network to use the connection to 
your ISP, you may still need two NICs if your cable modem is connected to one NI
C.

Not yet I'm afraid.  But the MP branch is certainly reaching the

No.  I've had two reports about utmp logging.  Everything else has 
been either finger trouble or people using archaic versions of the 
software.

Of course lots of people don't read the documentation - but there's 
now a README.devel file in the sources to point people in the right 
direction :-)

What does `show modem' say ?  Are you using the correct device ?  Can 
you access it with tip/cu/kermit etc ?  Are you sure you have no IRQ 
conflicts ?

If you use the `\P' escape sequence (and `set authkey'), the password 
isn't logged.

You need chat logging.  With the latest version, you can `set log

Either quote the string (you have to escape the quotes - see the 
latest man page) or use the `\s' sequence (again, see the latest 
man page).

Take a look at http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html.  It has pointers to

hi, I was wondering if there is a patch for that land bug for freebsd.
some kid landed me the other day, and it froze my machine, I use
userppp, is there anyway besides setting up a firewall or ipfilter to
patch this problem? and another thing(this is off the land subject), how
do I set my path in freebsd so it includes the ./ and the ../? thanks
again.

Ok, I booted using MSDOS 6.22 floppy, ran 3COM's card configuration
program and set card to address 300 & IRQ 10 which is FreeBSD default
I saw. I also disabled card PnP.

Config. program reported 300 in use by other hardware.

I rebooted and attempted to detect using FreeBSD boot floppy but still
no joy. Changed address to 310 and still nothing - but card checks out
ok with config program and registers at the hub while testing. Also,
BIOS have assigned all IRQ's to PnP so I tried assigning IRQ 10 to
EISA/ISA, didn't work then either.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong here?

TIA

Actually it was a silly problem with the modem initialization string, which
was already solved. (I've used a file from a site, an it had a typo)

PPP, after I said "dial" was trying to dial with no access to modem, and,
changing the ppp.config a little bit made the ppp answerr "What" when I
said "dial". 

But that was all.

Thanks to all of you who helped me with this !

I am using the most current version of User Process PPP on a FreeBSD 2.2.5
system with the -ddial and -alias options to dial my ISP.  My system
randomly stops sending data out the link.  The modem connection stays up,
but PPP never recovers.  I need to kill PPP and restart in order to restore
Internet connectivity.

This problem occurs most often when I'm using the connection, but it has
happened when the connection was not in use.

Here is my connect script:

pmdemand:
 set phone 6317980
 set login "TIMEOUT 20 Login: MY USERNAME Password: MY PASSWORD"
 set timeout 0
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR

The routing tables do not change when the problem occurs.

Hi !

I've just ordered an Adaptec 1505 (all I could afford :-( ) for my
external removeable. 
When I compile the kernel, should I use "aha", "ahc" or "aic" (or
something else) ?  I had a look at the Adaptec Web site, but it doesn't
give me any info...

Thanks very much in advance!

Peter Garner

It's OK... I just had the ide cdrom configured on the secondary controller as
slave (with no master on this channel).  I moved it to master and now it works
OK.  It still takes a while to probe it though.

I want to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 on a Dell PowerEdge 4200 server.
This is an impressive machine wich includes two SCSI controllers
(one is an Adaptec 7880 and the other is a 7860). Also has
two Ultra-Wide disks of 4GB capacity. [BTW, FreeBSD will replace
Windows NT - HA HA !!].

My problem is that this Dell server has a PCI board installed which
acts as RAID controller and battery backup module. At startup,
the two disks don't appear in the SCSI bus. I think that the RAID
controller manages the disks, so they are not seen by the 7880 SCSI
controller. Since the 7880 does not see any disk, neither FreeBSD does.

My question is: does FreeBSD support any RAID controller? I know
that a driver for Windows NT comes with the Dell RAID adapter.
If that RAID controller is not supported by FreeBSD, then I will
have to remove the RAID adapter, and this is a shame.

Why don't we see about providing the linux ftape driver
in the gpl section of the kernel source? that tape
driver is pretty thorough, and it does accelerator
cards.

Thanks for information. 

But... do you refer to ftape.c in kernel sources? Yes, this file is
compiled with kernel, even though it seems that it does nothing :(

#
# Most of the table entries here are just copies of the old getty table,
# it is by no means certain, or even likely, that any of them are optimal
# for any purpose whatever.  Nor is it likely that more than a couple are
# even correct.
#
# The default gettytab entry, used to set defaults for all other
# entries, and in cases where getty is called with no table name.
#
# cb, ce and ck are desirable on most crt's.  The non-crt entries need to
# be changed to turn them off (:cb@:ce@:ck@:).
#
# lc should always be on; it's a remainder of some stone age when there
# have been terminals around not being able of handling lower-case
# characters. Those terminals aren't supported any longer, but getty is
# `smart' about them by default.
#
# Parity defaults to even, but the Pc entry and all the `std' entries
# specify no parity.   The different parities are:
#     (none): same as even except -inpck instead of inpck for login.
#     ep:     getty will use raw mode (cs8 -parenb) (unless rw is set) and
#             fake parity.  login will use even parity (cs7 parenb -parodd).
#     op:     same as ep except odd parity (cs7 parenb parodd) for login.
#             op overrides ep.
#     ap:     same as ep except -inpck instead of inpck for login.
#             ap overrides op and ep.
#     np:     1. don't fake parity in getty.  The fake parity garbles
#                characters on non-terminals (like pccons) that don't
#                support parity.  It would probably better for getty not to
#                try to fake parity.  It could just use cbreak mode so as
#                not to force cs8 and let the hardware handle the parity.
#                login has to be rely on the hardware anyway.
#             2. set PASS8, giving cs8 -parenb -istrip -inpck.
#     np:ep:  same as np except inpck.
#     np:op:  same as np:ep except for parodd (but parodd is overridden).
#     np:ap:  same as np except istrip.

I was in the process of setting up pppd when I realized that the kermit
package is gone!
Where did it go?  I don't think I can run the port because I don't have
internet connectivity yet.  So, I guess the question is, where can I find
the kermit package?

Thank you for your time,
Stephane

I was wondering if FreeBSD supported the 8-port serial cards made by
Riscom.  BSD/OS does, and their intro man page describes the card as
being:

---
RC(4)                       BSD Programmer's Manual                   RC(4)

NAME
     rc - SDL Communications RISCom/8 8-port serial multiplexor

SYNOPSIS
     rc0 at isa? port 0x220 flags 0x0

DESCRIPTION
     The RISCom/8 is an eight port EIA RS-232C (CCITT V.28) communications
     multiplexor.  It uses a block of 16 I/O ports selectable by on-board
     switches. The block must be aligned on a 16 port boundary.  The  jumper-
     selectable hardware interrupt level is detected during autoconfiguration
     or alternatively can be specified in the system configuration file (in
     this case no check is performed).
...
---

I may be receiving two of these, and would love to multiplex a bunch of
freebsd machines using serial consoles to a management machine. :)  I
don't even know if these things are made anymore, but thought it would be
worth a try.  I saw that the FreeBSD man pages describe two of Riscom's
high-speed serial devices, but not this device.

Thanks,

I am currently running 2.2.5-release and wish to add the support for the

SMC9432tx network card. After checking
 Ustimenko Semen's homepage (http://iclub.nsu.ru/~semen/smc9432tx.html)
I only found diffs. I did find version 1.62 in the mailing archives,
which was labeled for 2.2.5-release. However after applying the 1.62
patch, recompiling the kernel, and rebooting ; my system only detects an

unknown hardware type tx0. dmesg shows no tx0 device found. If this is a

known bug in the earlier version of the driver, I'd appreciate a pointer

to the full version of the latest release.

O FreeBSD gurus, I have a question for you!

I have a FreeBSD 2.2.5 system in home, and a sister who has a Win95 
system.  Both computers have ethernet cards with BNC connectors and 
sometimes we take them to our jobs and we can plug them on our networks.

We have a ISP and I have configured FreeBSD for calling and 
make a conection to the InterNet and so my sister have.

Now, we have to fight for our telephone line and I don't like fighting
(my syster is more violent than I).  I think I can make an IntraNet in our
home through our network cards, but I do not know how...

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO ?
Is there some documentation about it in the FreeBSD 2.2.5 CD-ROM ?
I could not find it...(yet).

Thank you in advance.

Yes, there is a way.  For documentation, check out
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp.html.  This will tell you how
to setup ppp to do aliasing, as well as get a few Windows 95 machines
on-line through your FreeBSD box.

I am writing a script which needs to figure out the physical
locations of each of the /dev device names located on each disk.
That is, for each of the names, list the absolute offset in blocks,
the size in blocks, and perhaps the partition type code and some
other info.  The script is going to use this information to copy
selected regions for the purposes of baking them up or cloning
them, so it needs to be accurate and noninteractive.  If it can
be done using C library routines, this would also be OK.

How can I get this information?

Thanks to all who helped w/ my earlier quesiton. Got everything working
fine.

NIS is doing everything I want it to, except maintain multiple servers. I
can not find any documentation anywhere as to how one would designate
master/slave servers. ypserv has no such option.

rpc.yppasswdd and rpc.ypxfrd both complain that they do not know who the
server is, and I can't find any docs whatsoever.

This is particularly important because I have three different networks,
and I need at least one server per line for fault tolerance. NIS clients
do very nasty things when they can't talk to the server... It took me 14
minutes to become root when ypbind couldn't find ypserv.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Hi again,

First off, thanks to everyone for the help.

Problem is solved - I changed the motherboard for another I had lying
around and it found the card no problems   B¬)

I guess that just means its a problem with the other card and its
setup.

Thanks again for your time

Chris R.

As you were--I found it: my old friend disklabel(8) spits

I have been trying to download netscape and after about
two megs my download crashes and give this error message:
/kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space

This is how my two hard drives are partitioned:
wd0s1a	/	100MB
wd0sle /var	100MB
wd0s1b	swap	205MB
wd1s1e	/usr	517MB

Shouldn't 205MB of swap space be enough?  I would appreciate
any help to resolve this problem.

Thanks,

Anthony ....

Try a pstat -s, and make sure that your swap space is enabled.
Also, do a 'ps -xla', and see what kinds of processes that
you have running.

S'il vous plait, en anglais; Ma francais ce n'est pas tres bon...
Je pense que ce n'est pas une version commerciale; c'est une version libre

OK, a dummy-spit is overdue and this is as good an excuse as any.

Where in what document is that stage explained? I spent 20 minutes looking
just now and couldn't find it in any of the places I looked. The only thing
worse than finding something not documented is trying to work it out from
the wrong document and giving up. So often we see elaborate instructions on
configuring bells and whistles while basic usage instructions are either
hidden deep in all those words or simply overlooked because hackers don't
need them and newbies don't get far enough to advertise their stupidity.

As an example, I reinstalled FreeBSD several times because when it got to
the part where it asked "myhostname" no matter what I put in there it
got stuck and wouldn't proceed to the next installation question.
I'd read everything available six times through and nothing had informed me
that this is what you see when the installation has successfully completed.
I went back to OS/2 and read this mailing list and didn't understand the
answers and didn't want to be one of the "RTFM" rejects so I had a fully
working FreeBSD system sitting there for ages before finding someone open
minded enough to help me work out what hadn't gone wrong. Was my decision
not to ask here the right one? I'd like to think not.

Everyone: If you want someone to stop asking for help it'd be kinder to
just say so or shut up. Nobody forces you to answer questions you don't like.
Once you criticise people who ask questions you open yourself to criticism
of your answers. Whether that's deemed heresy or fair play, it will happen.

A little tolerance and understanding can save someone an awful lot more
trouble than your slight inconvenience of dreaming up a witty or cryptic
answer to a boring email without bothering to do a little of the same
research you demand of those less well equipped to do it.

Reading documentation is essential, but it does not guarantee understanding,
even if the relevant manual is identified and found. "RTFM" has its place
when full RTFM details are given, but abuse of "RTFM" reduces its validity.
In some cases a useful retort might be RTFN (Remember the f***ing newbie).
Their numbers are increasing and so will their use of this mailing list.

Some people here cannot always remember what it feels like to be earnest but
ignorant and I wish they'd leave the screen clear for the ones who can.

I hate looking like an idiot, but I am now thoroughly confused.
The disklabel(8) program only deals with a single fdisk(8) partition,
so the offsets it reports are only relevant to its partition.  Fdisk,
on the other hand, reports up to 4 fdisk partitions, but says nothing
about the contents of the partitions beyond its msdos code.

If I understand this correctly, it would actually be possible for
there to be 4 independent disk labels on a raw disk, each with 8
independent partitions; fdisk would report the layout of the 4
labeled partitions, while you would need 4 runs of disklabel to
see all of the possible bsd partitions.  Of course, there could be
non-bsd fdisk partitions which would not contain bsd labels; the
information reported by fdisk would probably suffice for them.
Furthermore, the first fdisk partition seems always to start on
cylinder boundary 1 rather than with the sector 0 of the physical
disk.  Potentially all of this information would need to be taken
into account before a map of the physical locations of the various
disk partition could be constructed.  Furthermore, since the first
fdisk partition doesn't include the lowest sectors, it isn't clear
how to read the lowest sectors of the physical disk, since they
are outside of the first fdisk partition.

So, lamentably, I need to reiterate my original question, which
was how to construct automatically a complete map of the physical
layout of a disk drive, incorporating all sectors of the drive,
including those classified by fdisk, by disklabel, and by neither.
Also, I must ask whether it is possible to read and write the entire
physical drive using a single /dev name, such as /dev/rwd0--I ask
this because of the fact that the fdisk table doesn't start with
block 0 (hopefully, rwd0 bypasses all partitioning and just accesses
the physical drive).

That's quite odd.  Did the troublesome board in question happen to
have
PCI slots?

The board is a 2 year old "Made in the USA" HX chipset board, with
American Megatrends "AmiBios", 4 x PCI and 4 X ISA slots, also 6 x
SIMM slots. Can't find the manual just now so thats all I can
remember.

The board I used to replace it was the previously mentioned Micronics
"Twister" baby AT which seems to be working just fine.

Greetings, I'm trying to do a fairly straightforward FTP install of FreeBSD
on a Dell laptop using the PAO boot flop and a Linksys ECT card.  Using IRQ
5 and 11 it says the card is not supported.  Everything I've read says that
this card should be OK.  Any ideas or did you do something different?

Thanks,  
Cameron

Can you enable async, lcp and ipcp logging ?  You can see if ppp is 
actually transmitting and receiving stuff, and also if anything from 
the peer has shut down the LCP or IPCP layers.

Can you take a look at http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html and 
read the section on core dumps.  If this happens with the latest 
version of ppp, I'd be interested in the core info.

Cheers.

Hello.

We are having extreme difficulty trying to get our Motorolla 56K
VoiceSurfer external modems working under FreeBSD.

We are currently running FreeBSD 2.2.5.  It seems that FreeBSD cannot
detect the on-board serial ports no matter what settings in the BIOS we are
assigning/using.  We also tried using a 16550 UART IO Card which FreeBSD
detected, but using "CU" we still cannot communicate with the modems.

We are trying to set everything up for PPP dialups.

We'd greatly appreciate any information that will help us resolve our problem.

Thanks in advance,
Onofrio

Can someone tell me how to extract this file.

communicator-v404-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar

When I downloaded it was a .gz file, so a ran
gunzip because I thought it would extract the file. 
It did make the file a meg or so larger but I need 
to be able to untar it. I have tried tar -x but it
is trying to copy it to a tape drive.  Thanks for 
your help.

Thanks, Anthony ...

That's right.  gunzip uncompresses the file.  You didn't really need
to do that.

Try reading the man page.  You need the f option to tell it what to
extract.  Try:

  tar xvf communicator-v404-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar

If you still had the original file, you'd write:

  tar xzvf communicator-v404-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar.gz

Of course, the easy way to install Netscape is via the port in the
Ports Collection.  See the online handbook for more details.

Eh ?

You're asking "where is it documented that I must start up a shell 
and run an application in order to connect to the internet" ?  Am I 
reading this correctly ?

I think it's extremely reasonable to expect people to be able to 
figure out that the ppp program makes the ppp connection and nothing 
else.

If you wish to be pedantic, "using another window" is documented in 
the man page at the end of the MANUAL DIALING section :-)

You're being paranoid.  I am always loathe to answer the simple 
questions because it normally implies that the asker hasn't done 
their homework.  This isn't always the case, and if someone 
retaliates to my answer, I'll explain this, usually apologise 
(because they explain their question a bit more and prove they've 
tried to figure whatever it is out), and then answer the question 
properly (unless they haven't actually done their homework).

On the flip-side, people should be aware that documentation exists 
for a reason.  There's nothing worse than spending hours on a 
document describing how CHAP works, then getting someone posting a 
question saying "CHAP doesn't work in ppp, has anyone else seen 
this ?" (this is a bit extreme, but not impossible).

Ppp suffers hugely in this respect because it had an almost infinite 
number of bugs about a year ago.  Although most of these bugs have 
been fixed, people still post dumb "I haven't bothered reading usenet 
or any of the mailing lists before posting this question" questions.

I've documented everything I think warrants documenting, and in the 
end, sometimes RTFM is the only answer you can really give.

Then so must their use of the list search facilities.  Helping people 
that don't attempt to help themselves first is a waste of time.  The 
knowledge will be forgotten unless you have to work to obtain it in 
the first place (IMHO).

> Some people here cannot always remember what it feels like to be earnest but

I don't agree.

Almost all of the RTFM-type responses here and on usenet are 
warranted.  The ones that are not are usually heavily accosted by the 
likes of Jordan et al.

The remaining ones that aren't warranted are simply badly worded 
questions, and the poster really has to be assertive (and brave) 
enough to try again.

The newbie that's not only ignorant about FreeBSD but is ignorant of 
the best way to ask a question suffers.... but they eventually learn 
if they read the group/list long enough 'cos they see this sort of 
``attitude'' mail now and again (read: discussion on why RTFM 
responses are given).

It's not always fair.

This should be ``set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 195.128.73.200/0''

Remove this line.  It does nothing and causes some problems with 
later versions of ppp.

[.....]

You also need /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup with the following entry:

provider:
  delete ALL
  add 0 0 HISADDR

This should get things up & running.

I've got about 24 hours of experience with FreeBSD at this point,
so I'm not quite up-to-date with everything _quite_ yet (What's with
this need for people to put these little "I'm new" disclaimers in their
messages anyway? :)
In any case, I'm running 2.2.5-RELEASE on a p200MMX, asus motherboard,
1 32 meg sdram, a diamond stealth 2500, and a maxtor 4.3 gig ultradma
IDE drive. This is the second time my machine has flat out hung (mouse dies,
numlock doesn't toggle, etc) while using navigator 4 in the distributed
XFree86 (i've made no mods to what comes with 225R).  I'm not sure a) why
(this is new hardware, so there's feasibly something wrong with it; FreeBSD
is the hardware's first OS) and b) how to find out what's going on.. IE
can I force some sort of crash dump at the bootloader?  Run some sort
of debugging? etc .. Thanks!

Hi,

I have a Maxtor 72004 AP (a 7 gig ide Maxtor drive).  When freebsd boots
up it lists the number of cylinders and heads, etc correctly (3893 cyl,
16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S) but it calculates my disk space as only
1916 MB.

A phrase I'm sure you've heard before:  how cum?

Sorry about this, but add to that list of hardware a 3com 3c509 ISA 10 meg
ethernet card, UTP.  I'll also note that the hangs have occured only
while netscape was up on my desktop, but one of the two hangs was while
I was cd'ing to /usr/ports in an xterm.

It tells people like me to explain things in a little more detail than

Yes, that would have been my first thought even if the machine had

It's difficult.  Experience points to the RAM or the chipset setup,
but of course there's also the possibility that there's some
incompatibility with the display board.  Since you appear to have
enough space, why not try our favourite way of bringing out bugs:
rebuild the entire system with 'make world'.  First, though, you need
to install all the sources.  If your RAM is bad, you'll typically see
the compiler dying with various traps (signals 6, 10 or 11 are the
most popular).

Subject: New kernel page faults
Cc: Andrzej Bialecki 
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk

OK, so how does one build a *working* kernel?

Thanks to an answer from Andrzej Bialecki  (give the -a
option to the boot prompt), I can now boot.  So, first thing, I tried to
build a kernel for my system (HW details below).

I need the CAM driver, and my impression is that means I need to use the
-current source base, which is what I pulled down.  I also installed the
CAM stuff (980103 snapshot).

The kernel built and installed without a hitch.

Unfortunately, when I attempt to boot from it, though, I end up with the
following:

	Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
	fault virtual address	= 0x1a
	fault code		= supervisor read, page not present
	instruction pointer	= 0x8:0xf01a8b3a
	stack pointer		= 0x10:0xf0223ef0
	frame pointer		= 0x10:0xf0223f70
	code segment		= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
				= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
	processor eglags	= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
	current process		= 0 (swapper)
	interupt mask		=
	trap number		= 12
	panic: page fault

Any suggestions either where to start looking to figure out the problem,
or, alternatively, any suggestions on how I can more successfully build a
kernel?

Hardware:

DK440LX motherboard, 333 MHz PII, Seagate ST19101W (9 GB ultra wide
cheetah), No 9 I-128 series 2 (8MB) video.  No IDE devices, IDE is turned
off.  The DK440LX used the adaptec 7895 chipset, so I need CAM.

Thanks,

+C

Make sure that you remove bounce buffers.  When you have this kind of
problem, it is a good idea to post your kernel config file and specify
your memory size.  Also, is your kernel image below the 1000'th
pseudo cylinder?  (Your root partition needs to be entirely contained
below cyl 1000.)  (Just a guess.)

Hi! I just want to know why I should run FreeBSD instead of Linux on my
P200MMX. I have no idea what the differences are....
I can't find anything about it on the freebsd.org pages.

Is it possible to get quake2 running with linux emu?  I tried it, but it
crashes after a few seconds and complains that setup() or something is
not built in.  If it is possible to get it running, please let me in on
how to do so.

Thanks,

First off, I'm new to this.  Second off, I'm no expert, and might be 
the wrong person to answer this.  I leave it to the experts to 
correct my statements below:

I used to use slackware and later switched to Redhat.  I've noticed a 
few differences.  The only reason why I decided to use it was some 
literature I saw out there.  Knowing that walnut creek and altavista 
both use it to run their sites, was a nice touch.

A few gotchas ...

I was used to using the irc for support.  It's much harder to use it 
now, as there aren't too many around during the day hours vs lots of 
people all the time in the #linux channel.

Support seems to be mostly through the mailing lists.  In Linux, I 
used to use the newsgroups a lot.  Another change.

The other side of the coin ...

The product seems to be much more stable.  Less kludges from what I 
see.  Less holes it seems, for hackers to crack your system.

I've played with the system for about 2 weeks now, and have managed 
to get the following up:

Apache, email, samba, mysql, my atapi zip drives (thanks to mike 
smith), ftp, registered my domain name, X, xntpd (for time 
synchronization), twm (my X desktop) and other stuff.

I feel pretty good about it.  Under linux, I think it may have taken 
me a little longer.

Oh, btw --- a lot of o'reilly stuff seems to be written with freeBSD 
in mind.  I dunno if that's a correct statement, but it seems like 
it.

Ken

OK, did that. Didn't help...

RAM is 128 MB, Swap is 256 MB.  The config file is appended...

FreeBSD is the first two partitions, the first contains /, /var, and /usr,
and is 2GB.  The second is swap.

I would assume that this would do it.

No, you're not. I'm asking for RTFM answers to be a little more specific
in order to encourage the good documentation we have to be properly used.
You do want people to read this stuff, right?

Sure, but the problem here is not a problem with ppp. The problem in these
examples is people unable to recognise success when they see it for the
first time, and instead of being congratulated they are publicly admonished
for failing to do something which they have provided proof of doing.

I can't think of any man page that is more practical and helpful than the
one for ppp, but there's a lot of other documentation for it too, all of
which must be found and read before giving up. I'm not surprised to see
someone miss or misunderstand one line, or seek confirmation of their
understanding.

Thank you for this fine example of how the game is played.
I'd prefer to play a game where arrogance is not rewarded but endeavour is.
I've been told that this is supposed to be everyone's playing field.
Move over.

This guy must have read the documentation pretty damn well to get to the
point of total success that he illustrated. Clearly he had no problems with
ppp itself. He'd already got a terse hint that the task had been achieved.
Then he should be sternly spoken to about the documentation? Come on!

Quite so, but you shouln't let it make you paranoid.

Consider whether the aim is to offer help, or to be spiteful, or to have a
joke on someone with your mates. RTFM is quite valid, but for the first only.

How can you be so sure that they have knowledge of, easy access to, and
success with, the list search facilities? Would an answer have been found in
this case? I doubt it very much.

Then either do not "help" them, or show them _how_ to help themselves,
or be up front about telling them to go away if that's what you really mean.

BTW we were talking here about someone who has proven that he has already
put in the hard yards and just needed a little confirmation at the end.
Is there no room for that here?

Should we use the same argument to refrain from giving details of any
genuine bug in ppp that may arise in the future? I don't think you'd like
that very much, even though the puzzle would do you a tremendous amount of
good.

I don't agree. Some people are time-wasting idiots and need to be told how
to change, but never deserve public scorn. Other people simply make mistakes.
If you never claimed to be perfect yourself, don't expect it in strangers.
Some RTFM responses here are very good, but a few self-indulgent ones stand
without comment. I'm commenting. You must learn to take as good as you give.

That is simply not good enough. Since when does someone have to be extremely
thick skinned, resilient and determined when faced with public scorn to run
FreeBSD? That is most definitely not in the introductory reading material.

That is something on which everyone agrees. If there is no humane solution,
one needs to be found.

Precisely how long should that kind of person read here before learning to
forgive? How can you be sure they can (technically) do that? Please document
it :-)  You're asking an awful lot of those least able to comply.

Thank you for clarifying some aspects of the limitations to tolerance that
obedient people asking questions can expect to find. I still believe that
these attitudes are held by a minority of people. Wrong again?

I hope you read my observations as closely as I read documentation, closely
enough to see that I heartily encourage advice to read documentation but
fear that the effectiveness of this advice will be lost if it is abused.

	Hi all,

	I am trying to setup a PPP server on one of the machines. It is
connected to the LAN with the ethernet and has ttyd1 as it's modem. (The
machine is 2.2.5-RELEASE)
	First problem I am running into is that stty changes baud settings
for ttyd1 to 9600 every time I connect to it. Here is what /etc/ttys has:
# grep ttyd1 /etc/ttys
ttyd1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600"  dialup  on  insecure
#ttyd1   "/usr/sbin/pppd -detach"       unknown on  insecure
#
	Main question I have is how can I save stty settings forever so it
will never change back to 9600?
	Another question is that after following man page for ijj-ppp on
how to setup incoming ppp connections (Method 1), I am running into
trouble where after ppp user quits, "ppp -direct" is still running and ppp
user still shows logged in. I guess if I make a label name that would time

Sort of.  From a technical point of view, FreeBSD is UNIX, no matter
what the lawyers say.  As a result, books on UNIX work very well with
FreeBSD.

Because we're a great bunch of people to hang out with? :-)
You'll need more to go on than that.

OK, try http://www.freebsd.org/search.html
Go to the mailing list archives and search for freebsd and linux.

Look at the installation directions from the handbook which you'll find on
the main web page, and check that any strange hardware you may have is
supported.

Come back and ask us if you have any specific questions that aren't answered
in the documentation you've found.

OK.  Did you go through the usual PCI BIOS setup gyrations?

Different BIOS, right?

Hello,

I'm very happy with FreeBSD, and I've set it up as a web server
and also for dialin for an ISP I work for...I've also used it at
home alot, but my home computer doesn't have a floppy drive anymore,
and I'd like to install FreeBSD.  Unfortunately, I can't figure out
how to do this without the drive....I've downloaded everything to
my DOS partition, and I have a FreeBSD 2.2.1 CD that you can run the
install program from DOS and get right into things...but how to do
this with the newer version I downloaded (3.0SNAP)?

Thanks in advance,

Brian Neal

Hi, I just purchased a "HI-VAL" 2X8X IDE  CD-R.  I could not get
cd-write to recognize it (although /stand/sysutil had no problem reading
from the drive)  and I couldn't get cdrecord off of the net.  Well, I
saw it there through the web, and when I tried to get it with
/stand/sysutil, it had cd-write, but not cdrecord.  I saw something
about "worm" and lookedit up, seeing immediately that it was for SCSI
drives, whereas mine is IDE. Dmesg says this:

wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): , removable, intr, dma, iordis
wcd0:  1377Kb/sec, 512Kb cache, audio play, 2 volume levels, ejectable
tray
wcd0: no disc inside, unlocked

The package says 1 meg cache, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were
deceptive.
Do I need to reconfig my kernel?  Help please!
