I have only noticed the actualy panic message > once, is ther a way to log this so I can get more info at what is causing > this? This is an old bug. It was fixed along with a slew of others that crept in when the new routing code was added. I was never bitten by this particular bug but various route cloning bugs did bite me quite often on my router. I worked around it by disabling route cloning. In the function in_addroute() in netinet/in_rmx.c, comment out this section of code. /* * For IP, all unicast non-host routes are automatically cloning. */ if(!(rt->rt_flags & (RTF_HOST | RTF_CLONING))) { if(!IN_MULTICAST(ntohl(sin->sin_addr.s_addr))) { rt->rt_flags |= RTF_PRCLONING; } } An even better solution is to upgrade to 2.1. If the system is panicing, it should also be saving a copy of the running system in the swap space, if dumps are enabled, and you have enough swap space, and /var/crash exists, and /var/crash has enough space. Are there any other arp* messages in the log? Do you see a "mb_map full" message in the log?

Can I use the boot disk You specified the wrong geometry for the disk when you installed. The partitions on the disk aren't where they should be. You _MUST_ specify geometry that matches the BIOS geometry as reported by the controller, during the installation process. If you fail to do this, the BIOS can't find the beginning of the BSD partition, and you will be unable to boot. > Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.

It would even be better if....I could get it to run on my system. PLEASE HELP ME!! I am facing the famous "Missing operating system" problem. I tried installing FreeBSD 2.0.5 on my 486 PC, but it appears that I cannot boot from the hard disk. I MUST BE REAL CLOSE. After reading every possible FAQ file on the problem, I must have tried at least 10 installation/partition variations, so I call to you as a last resort. ----------------------- Before FreeBSD, in my very typical DOS/Windows PC setup, I would boot DOS off my disk C: (170Mb IDE drive). Then I bought a 1Gb IDE disk and split it into two partitions: 400Mb intended for FreeBSD and 600Mb for DOS (defined as primary DOS). (I put the FBSD partition lower because of a note I read somewhere about a possible problem with this.) NOTE: DOS sees this 600Mb partition as drive D:. Because my IDE CDROM isnt supported by FreeBSD 2.0.5, I copied the DISTS files unto the D: disk (600Mb DOS partition). Next I start the FreeBSD installation and instruct it as follows: disk 0 (C:) mounted as /cdisk disk 1 400Mb FreeBSD partition split into /wds3a 50Mb / (root mountpoint) /wds3b 30Mb swap /wds3e 320Mb /usr 600Mb mounted as /ddisk NOTE: I set the geometry of my drive according to the specification written on it e.g. 2112/16/63. The root partition is set to be bootable ("A" appears in fdisk). I perform a "Minimal" installation from Media="DOS partition" and it seems to succeed with no error messages. NOTE: I choose the "Boot Manager" option. When all is finished and I reboot, the boot manager prompts me for: F1 DOS F5 disk 2 If I choose F1, DOS boots OK. If I choose F5, I get "Missing operating system" and the system hangs. ------------------------------- Variations: At one point I got desperate. I tried installing with the "Standard MBR" instead of with the Boot Manager. After the installation I rebooted and got the message (something like) "NO ROM SYSTEM HALTED" with system hang. I figured the MBR had been wiped out somehow. I rebooted and reinstalled with the Boot Manager; this time DOS can boot on F1 but "Missing operating system" still appears when booting on disk 2. ------------------------------- Now there are a few things I dont understand. 1) Where does the boot manager reside? On disk 0 (e.g. my 170Mb DOS C: drive)? Or on disk 1 (1Gb) ? 2) Why cant the boot manager boot from the 1Gb drive? Must I make a small FreeBSD partition on disk C:? 3) What's the problem with the geometry? Initially, fdisk states "528/64/63" and I have to change it to "2112/16/63" (when you add it up it's the same thing, no?). What does the geometry have to do with boot ? 4) Two of my colleagues have FreeBSD but they have dedicated disks. In my case I dont want to use the whole 1Gb drive just for FreeBSD. Is it possible to get DOS and FreeBSD to co-exist on my disk? ------------------------------- THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND COOPERATION! /Eric (a desperate would-be-home-user-of-unix) ======================================================== Eric PRIMEAU lmcerpr@lmc.ericsson.se Software Engineer (514) 738-8300 x2371 Ericsson Research Inc.

Sorry for my dumb question and thanks in advance. you can ftp the packages for FVWM or OLVWM FVMW: Fvwm is a just another window manager for X11, which provides a simple virtual desktop, a 3-D look for windows decorations, and shaped, color icons. It can be configured to use far less memory than twm, or to give a very good emulation of mwm. A nice button-bar can be used to provide convenient access to frequently used functions or programs. OLVWM: Olvwm (OPEN LOOK virtual window manager) is an ICCCM compliant window manager supplied for use with the XView toolkit. It is derived from olwm, the OPEN LOOK window manager supplied with the XView release. This version of olvwm is based on version 3 of the XView release. enjoy! Jonathan M.

Is this the same geometry that your BIOS is set to for this disk? In particular, the 16/63 values are crucial.

NO ROM BASIC... This means that the disk is not considered bootable. I strongly suspect that you are using Disk Mangler or an equivalent. > Now there are a few things I dont understand. > > 1) Where does the boot manager reside? On disk 0 (e.g. my 170Mb DOS C: drive)? Or on disk 1 (1Gb) ? The boot manager lives in the MBR of the disk. It's odd that despite you installing on the _second_ disk, the boot manager shows up. FreeBSD is quite paranoid about only installing the bootmanager on the disk being installed to. The fact that this occurs suggests to me that Disk Mangler (or an equivalent) has replaced the MBR bootcode on the first disk with code that reads the MBR bootcode from the _second_ disk. > 2) Why cant the boot manager boot from the 1Gb drive? > Must I make a small FreeBSD partition on disk C:? The 'missing operating system' message actually comes from the BIOS. It's very strange that you get it _after_ seeing the bootmanager; normally if the bootmanager can't boot the nominated partition, it comes back with F? as a prompt. > 3) What's the problem with the geometry? Initially, fdisk states "528/64/63" > and I have to change it to "2112/16/63" (when you add it up it's the same thing, no?). > What does the geometry have to do with boot ? The number of sectors per track is _crucial_ in locating the beginning of the first partition on the disk, because it starts at the beginning of the second track. If the geometry that FreeBSD used for the install is different from the geomtry that the BIOS sees, the boot manager will not be able to find the beginning of the FreeBSD partition, and thus won't be able to boot. > 4) Two of my colleagues have FreeBSD but they have dedicated disks. > In my case I dont want to use the whole 1Gb drive just for FreeBSD. > Is it possible to get DOS and FreeBSD to co-exist on my disk? Yes, it should be. I would be inclined to blow away the disk and any stupid Disk Mangler code on it (boot from a floppy and run fdisk), and give yourself a 450M DOS 'slice', and then use the rest for FreeBSD. As long as the FreeBSD root partition is under the 500M mark, everything will be fine, and you won't need any funny tools for DOS to be able to access the disk. I strongly suspect that the hidden driver is your problem. > Eric PRIMEAU lmcerpr@lmc.ericsson.se -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!

I don't know why your disk is "in the process of becoming ready", but we should probably give it at least a few milliseconds to come ready. In general, if something is "becoming ready" we should probably keep retrying for a long time. As a hack, and to at least let you do dumps and verify that this is the problem, if you have the source and can rebuild the kernel it isn't hard to make "asc:4,1" infinitely retried. Unfortunately, it is a lot harder to do something more intelligent. Note that this will allow your system to hang forever doing disk retries.

I'm building a multi-platform network for the dept. of Comp. Science here at UNCC, and being able to make use of the existing AFS servers on campus would be a *big* win. We've got SGI indigo 2's and various Sparcs running (ugh god help me) Soalris 2.4. I'd love to convince the department that a student lab composed of higher end pentiums + FreeBSD + WNT or W95 (they want M$ apps as well -- can't fight that) would be a much better idea than Solaris on SS5's or bigger machines. The cost / performance + stability ratio is simply staggering. You have no idea how expensive a truecolor capable Sparc display is, esp. when you look at a $450 *fast* PCI card plus AccelX + OpenGL extensions. I'm even willing to shell out some personal cash to see this happen. I know that Linux has AFS support, and I heard somewhere that NetBSD does, so I can't see why some hungry hacker couldn't snarf up the netbsd code and go to town. Any takers?

When I got this right & left it wouldn't have been fixed by working on the swap (until it got *BIG*); it turned out to be INN's expireover and a bogus gigantic .overview file. expireover reads in the entire .overview in a single slurp and then works from there, takes about 4x the amount of memory that the .overview is long. Fix was just deleting the bogus .overview... Check for various things like that, especially if the error comes up mostly during news.daily... If it is just random then you need more swap and/or more ram. Note that if you're using much swap then the system performance is terrible so you should (usually) either fix your job mix or add ram instead of swap... (this is different in various versions of unix now; IRIX 5.x backs all ram by swap so you need enough for all running processes. At least it lets you add swap on the fly in ordinary files, which we aren't up to yet.) -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 24 08:40:27 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id IAA18117 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 24 Oct 1995 08:40:27 -0700 Received: from swissbank.swissbank.com (swissbank.swissbank.com [146.180.1.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id IAA18104 for ; Tue, 24 Oct 1995 08:40:17 -0700 Received: by swissbank.swissbank.com with UUCP (4.1/BK-1.9) id AA09752; Tue, 24 Oct 95 10:42:48 CDT Received: from il.us.swissbank.com by gatekeeper.swissbank.com with SMTP (8.6.12/BK-1.12) id KAA29356; Tue, 24 Oct 1995 10:35:52 -0500 Received: from ln1d272nwk by il.us.swissbank.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA04739; Tue, 24 Oct 95 10:37:34 CDT Received: by ln1d272nwk (NX5.67d/NX3.0S) id AA00996; Tue, 24 Oct 95 16:36:58 +0100 Message-Id: <9510241536.AA00996@ln1d272nwk> Content-Type: text/plain Mime-Version: 1.0 (NeXT Mail 3.3 v118.2) Received: by NeXT.Mailer (1.118.2) From: Charlie Conklin Date: Tue, 24 Oct 95 16:36:54 +0100 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Graphics Tablet support Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Does anyone know if any graphics tablets are supported by FreeBSD?

That's not true if you have a kernel compiled with: pseudo-device vn #Vnode driver (turns a file into a device) Once that's accomplished, it's a simple as: root@everest (17) # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dumps/swapfile bs=1m count=8 root@everest (17) # vnconfig /dev/vn0b /dumps/swapfile swap root@everest (18) # swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/sd0s1b 98304 7136 91104 7% Interleaved /dev/sd1s1b 98304 7076 91164 7% Interleaved Total 196480 14212 182268 7% root@everest (19) # swapon /dev/vn0b root@everest (20) # swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/sd0s1b 98304 7136 91104 7% Interleaved /dev/sd1s1b 98304 7076 91164 7% Interleaved /dev/?? 8192 0 8128 0% Interleaved Total 204608 14212 190396 7% Naturally, you'd want to add an entry to /etc/vntab if you wanted the device to survive the next reboot.

The box in question has a WD8013EP ethernet card, which has worked OK up to today. It's found by the bootup code, and gives the expected: ed0 at 0x280-0x29f irq 5 maddr 0xd8000 msize 16384 on isa ed0: address 00:00:c0:6d:81:2d, type WD8013EP (16 bit) During the installation, whether I try an upgrade or a full install, I see, on the debug screen: DEBUG: Init routine called for network device ed0. ed0: device timeout On the "holographic shell" screen, an ``ifconfig'' tells me: ed0: flags=8863 mtu 1500 inet 130.88.202.16 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 130.88.202.255 ifconfig: kvm_read(): Bad address and none of the network stuff works. A bit nasty, since I'm trying to install from it. :-( If I reboot the old version, it all works (except that the install has trashed a fair bit of what was there). I'd normally post to c.u.b.f.m, but I'm in the process of copying my Usenet article disk to a RAID array and the damned thing is too overloaded to let me post... Any assistance appreciated! All the best, Ian.

This is not a source code available port. The NetBSD port is binary only. It would required a modification of the cookie mechanism for directory iteration, and now a translation layer to unset the HASBUF bits on the underlying cn_pnbuf AND to hide the page manipulation and argument differences recently introduced in the FS API. Only the HASBUF stuff is a result of my patches, and that's the intended mechanism to work around the compatability issues.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I recently picked up a nice little ethernet card at computer show for $20.

Well, it doesn't work. The card has both BNC and 10BT connectors, so I of course tried the link2 option with no results. I don't think this thing is using any shared memory like my 3com 3c503-16 (which works splendidly BTW). On the noname card there are four LED's: Power/TX, Link/RX, Collision, JABBER The Jabber LED stays on all the time, I think this might be a bad thing, but I dunno. Any ethernet card experts out there help me troubleshoot?? The 'brand' name of the card is ENet-16, and the chipset appears to be a DL2517B (no manuf. name at all...) It's made in Taiwan, if that's of any help...

You haven't rebooted since the tcl library was installed, so ld.so can't find the tcl library. The warning when running tcl just means that the package was compiled against a different version of the standard library. It shouldn't cause you any problems.

I have a Pioneer DRM-624X cdrom changer, that FreeBSD only recognizes the first disk (but this is not the problem...) I wanted to play audio CD's from FreeBSD like I was doing from Linux, so I grabbed the xmcd dist from the xmcd web site. I was getting the well known ioctl permission errors (as reported previously). I then saw a post to grab a FreeBSD "fix" from burka.netvision.net.il, and the xmcd.static that was shipped with this package no longer gave ioctl errors, it paniced my machine with the message: panic: biodone: buffer not busy It would also "ping" my hard drive once a second or so. This is nothing new, I see from scanning previous entries on the mailing list, so I thought maybe I should sup another -stable version (at the time, I was running 2.0.5-STABLE supped in September). Today, I grabbed 2.1-STABLE, recompiled everything, and attempted to rerun xmcd. This time, I do not believe the machine reported a panic. It just froze SOLID. No numlock toggling (etc), ctrl-alt-del didn't reboot. I do not believe a panic was reported. I'd love to be able to listen to music again at work, but more importantly, I am concerned that this could be a problem with FreeBSD. I'm using a P90 AST w/32 mb RAM, NCR controller on MB, 2gb scsiII hd. Any solutions?

You should be able to get more by editing scsiconf.c and adding an entry for the drive..

This is something I experienced, and probably should go in the FAQ. Certain BIOSes (my Intel Zappa 100 is one of those) do an automatical remapping of the drive geometry if they find >1023 cyls, while the boot manager apparently uses the standard geometry. I think this way only the partition at the beginning of the disk can boot. You should disable this feature in the BIOS.

I am from University of Coimbra and I've just got Free BSD package to install in my computar at home but I've had some problems. I have a 386 DX (40 MHz) computer (4 MegaBytes - RAM) with a Maxtor hard disk and a Super I/O card. My computer doesn't have a numeric coprocessor (I don't if it is necessary). I tried to install FreeBSD from floppies but the first menu didn't even apeared nor i could get into the configuration prompt. At the boot process the computer always stop at the following point: Text=0x100000 data=0x0 bss=0xa00 Symbols=[0x600+0x4+0x258+0x4+0x1d9] Total=0x40139 entry point=0x300000 After this message the light drive stays always on but the computer no longer reads the boot floppy drive and the keyboard doesn't even receive my keystrokes, so I have to power off the computer. I would like to know if I have to get a better computer to run FreeBSD or can I do it with this one and what is the problem I am having. In the manual handbook says that we should get a bootmanger if we are going to have msdos in one partion and BSD in another but I can't find it. Could you tell me how to get it? Many thanks. I hope hearing from you soon.

The users have to use the imapd login procedure again (in pine) to get to the inbox, but it appears to work fine. I'm not sure how the sent.mail stuff would work -- that might have to be imap'd as well. Another possible answer is use of pop and an X mail reader of some kind that support it (I'm not sure which mail readers, X or otherwise, support imap and pop.) If you wanted an Xable answer, maybe you could implement an rsh alias that essentially loaded up an xterm with the mail reader, actually executing on your mail server. There doesn't appear to be a simple file sharing answer that comes to mind though, unless the locking stuff in nfs starts working.

That's annoying. I really hate non-incremental cross build environments. I guess it comes from using configure instead of makefiles to do the cross build ...that's the problem with configure: it wants a single target to result from the configuration process.

US Robotics Sportster's had a bug where an incoming call from a Rockewll chipset based modems would cause the Sportster to hang. It's corrected by a firmware update from US Robotics. This may not be your particular problem. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

Don't know if it will figure out what the target is if you do `size file' for instance. AFAIK the compiler must be built for a specific target.

I'll bet you $5 that the modem is incorrectly set to a different speed from the getty. Use tip to connect to the modem at 19200, type 'AT&Q' to get your modem to lock onto your current speed, and then type 'AT&W' to save this value into the modem. Power cycle the modem, and then stop/restart the getty (some or all of these may not be necessary). It should work fine now.

However, when booting off a floppy and specify sd(0,a)/386bsd to boot (yes, I have a wd0 and sd0, and I undefine wd0 from BIOS setup to let the system boot off sd0 normally), it can boot properly. I first suspected the mbr corruption, and ran fdisk /mbr upon boot up from a DOS boot disk. That doesn't fix the problem. Now I suspect my FreeBSD boot block gets corrupted.

I thought the noisy line was to blame, but it's not as simple as that. It's not really a serious problem anymore, but something that I'm curious about. This is my situation. I'm using 2.0.5-RELEASE, and I'm getting lots of checksum errors on UUCP over my 16550A UART, mostly due to lost bytes. I swap cards to a 16450 UART, and the problem disappears. I tried using the 16550A UART again, this time with the FIFO disabled in the kernel, but the checksum errors were still there. I have a noisy line, so I always enable the modem's error correction. I don't get a single checksum error over the 16450, but lots of lost bytes over the 16550A. I have enabled crtscts, and disabled xon/xoff. I must be doing this OK, since I get no problems over the 16450. Also, I used to run Linux UUCP over the same line. No problems there, even with the 16550A. One more thing: the 16550A is on a VESA slot, wheras my 16450 is on an ISA slot. I have a DX4-100, i.e. my clock speed is 33, so I don't really expect the bus speed to be causing any problems (especially since Linux works at the same speed). I usually connect at 14.4K, but the situation is the same regardless of the modem speed I connect at. Funny thing is that I can run Netscape quite happily over the same UART without any problems - perhaps SLIP handles lost bytes better than the UUCP protocols? (BTW, I don't run UUCP over tcpip, but through direct dialup) Also, I get nothing about serial problems in /var/log/messages. It's no big deal for me to use a 16450, just to get FreeBSD UUCP to run. It sounds like the 16550A driver could be dropping bytes, but I'm not sure. I'm just interested in what could be going wrong. I was hoping that this additional information may give someone a hint as to what's happening.

FreeBSD is very careful to avoid writing on any disks that you haven't specifically asked it to. In your case, it means that it hasn't written the bootmanager to the first disk; you'll have to do that yourself. The bootmanager's DOS-based installer is on the CDrom; you can also use another bootmanager like OS-BS or the OS/2 Bootmangler. > Victor -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!

Umm, the dmesg information he sent me has it "wdc1: ..." and "wcd0: ...", which given the fact that he has two controllers and the cdrom is on the second one makes perfect sense.

Date: Wed, 25 Oct 1995 22:11:42 -0500 Encoding: 42 TEXT Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just installed a new version of FreeBSD. I have used and installed 2.0.5 versions, and have had no problem in the past utilizing the pkg_manage utility. Other than a couple of minor problems, it seemed to work perfectly. Now, I install 2.1.0 ... Wow, a nice package install utility right from there! Try to use it and it tells me I don't have enough temp space, and to try when the system is up and running. Not a problem. I get the system up and running, run /stand/sysinstall and it allows me to select a couple of packages I want to install. So far so good. Then I try to install them. It FTPs them from the site (Using ftp.cdrom.com), and then tries to untar them. The system tells me there were errors. (Now, this is from memory, so the wording won't be QUITE the same) tar: cannot find file './' cannot find file +CONTENTS in this file. Not a package? I can get the exact error if you'd like, but I think you might get the idea. The next step I tried was to just use pkg_manage. After crashing out on running pkg_info (Because only a partial package was installed I assume), it did the EXACT same thing. Next I tried running pkg_delete to delete the partial packages installed so pkg_info would work. I then tried pkg_add to add it THAT way. Same error. I tried running pkg_add with the FULL pathname (I entered: pkg_add /tmp/ instead of being in the directory and just typing: pkg_add This time is SAID it installed the package, though not all the files were installed as near as I can tell. I tried running pkg_info -a at this time, and it crashed out after displaying the installed package. Needless to say, this got me a bit frustrated after being able to install packages so easily with 2.0.5 ... I've manually installed some of the basic stuff I need, but I would LIKE to, if possible, find out why I can't use pkg_manage right now. Anyone have any ideas?

I can't see how to solve my problem, so here goes again. I have a problem with my Aptiva 486DX4100 running 2.0.5R in 16Mb. It has a single spin SCSI Toshiba cdrom on an adaptec 1542. The boot disk is an IDE. When it boots and mounts the cd at /cdrom it seems to create a file in the root directory called /cdrom with the following stats -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 May 1 20:00 cdrom mount says that the cd is mounted, ie /dev/cd0a on /cdrom (local,read-only) but I can't access the cd. Nor can I un mount it by typing 'unmount /cdrom' but 'unmount /dev/cd0a' works and suddenly /cdrom becomes a directory again! The same things happens if I create a new directory & try again, even if that new directory is on another file system. ie /usr/cdrom Everything was fine until I was copying a large archive to a floppy mounted at /mnt and (foolishly) typed 'ls /mnt' from another xterm. This seemed to create a deadlock on the floppy. The drive light went out, and neither the ls nor the cp would stop or go into the background. I quit from X & tried kill -9 to no avail. So in despair I sync-ed the disks & typed reboot. The machine waited on syncing disks for ages, so I reset it. What can I do to get my cd back? I await your wisdom.

Not a package? Good memory. The unfortunate thing is that the package utilities were completely broken on this SNAP, both in the install and all of the package utilities in the system. You'll need to re-compile newer package binaries or snarf the versions of the old version and install those. Thanks for the bug report.

Whenever I mount the hard disks on those machines, NFS chokes when the FreeBSD box tries to write to the mounted filesystems as root. I'm using the FreeBSD box as a mail server and mounting the /var directory because the hard disk is small (130 Megs). Btw, are ESDI drives being supported on FreeBSD 2.0.ish versions? I can get the 1.1.5.1 version to install with no problems, but the 2.0.ish versions would just refuse to install. I'm using the same geometry with the 2.0.ish versions as with the 1.1.5.1 version.

You _could_ get away with using ESDI (or other ST506 style drives) under 2.0 if you had perfect media. ESDI drives with perfect media are pretty rare. :) I used an ESDI under 2.0.5 successfully for quite awhile.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It wouldn't happen to be a PS/2-style or bus mouse? If so, neither is supported inthe GENERIC kernel. You'll have to compile a custom kernel to use either style. Look in /sys/i386/conf/LINT for examples.

I beleive that the boot manager got written to your second drive, but not the first. You should run bootinst.exe (from DOS) - it's located in the /tools directory of the CD. It's also somewhere on ftp.freebsd.org. That should fix your problem.

I suspect FreeBSD and the modem hardware are not agreeing on something. I had the exact same problems you had this morning when I moved a modem from a SUN over to the machine, and I needed to do the advice I gave you earlier. However, since I setup the modem on the SUN I know all of the hardware settings of the modem. The modem must be setup to: 1) Use Hardware flow control 2) Lock the Computer-Modem speed to the speed of the getty 3) Do NOT ignore DTR 4) Use proper cabling to allow all of the above.

The geometry is translated on you if the drive is over 1023 cylinders, whether you want it to be or not. The translation isn't the same as if you were using, for instance, a WD1007 controller and had translation turned on. Typically in these cases, you must use the entire drive for BSD. Alternately, you can fix the slice code and it will work. To use a WD1007, you must not be using sector sparing and you must not be using BIOS translation. These are J8 and J14 -- but of course, you will need the format utility from ftp.wdc.com, since changing these jumpers will require a low level format for each change. > Any answers or comments would be greatly appreciated! :) Best bet: use the whole disk for BSD or use none of it, or fix the slice code and the fdisk. In theory, the boot code should examine the DOS partition/extended partition tables and hack in the absolute sector offset. Some fdisks won't set these correctly. If the boot code does before it goes protected mode, then the geometry won't matter because the C/H/S values can be ignored (with the exception of OnTrack 6.x or similar MBR/INT 13 TSR replacement mechanisms).

I have TACACS working here with FreeBSD 2.0.5. Basically the final way I made it work is to rip out the `alternate password file' option from the Cisco Tacacs source code, since there were some missing system calls (setpwfile()...). As long as using the "same password file" for doing PPP authorization, I'm not sure that is entirely possible since (in my understanding) protocols such as CHAP or PAP require plain text passwords instead of the DES/MD5 crypted passwords stored in the server. -Ade Barkah -------------------------------------------------------------------- Inet: mbarkah@hemi.com - HEMISPHERE ONLINE - www: -------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Oct 26 15:03:12 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id PAA29587 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 26 Oct 1995 15:03:12 -0700 Received: from netcom13.netcom.com (dhawk@netcom13.netcom.com [192.100.81.125]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id PAA29578 for ; Thu, 26 Oct 1995 15:03:04 -0700 Received: by netcom13.netcom.com (8.6.12/Netcom) id PAA12240; Thu, 26 Oct 1995 15:01:35 -0700 From: dhawk@netcom.com (David H) Message-Id: <199510262201.PAA12240@netcom13.netcom.com> Subject: Converting Linux passwd file to FreeBSD To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 26 Oct 1995 15:01:35 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 515 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have a 300 user Linux system (for conferencing) that I'm converting to FreeBSD.

I'm using Ethernet for the LAN, and a 28.8Kb modem with iijppp for the connection to my Internet access provider. It is mostly working fine, but I am experiencing two problems. 1. The link spontainiously drops rather frequently. It isn't timeouts, and I haven't been able to determine whether the problem is at my end, their end, or with the phone line itself. This isn't a major problem since I can just set up a ping with a sixty second interval to make sure the line is re-opened if necessary. 2. After a while (several hours to a few days - averages about two days), it will get into a state where I can't make high-level connections (e.g. finger) from the gateway to outside machines. Ping and traceroute still work fine, and incomming mail/http/etc. connections still work fine, but outgoing connections just hang. Re-starting the connection, or even killing and re-starting the ppp process has no effect; the only way I've found to fix it is to re-boot. Any advice on how to find out what's going on here would be appreciated. Thanks, -Pat My opinions are my own. For a small royalty, they can be yours as well...

Speaking of which, some OS's accept a 'noauto' option in their /etc/fstab to tell 'mount -a' not to bother with the line. I like to have a /cdrom line in my /etc/fstab, but don't want it mounted at boot time and would like to be able to do # mount /cdrom at some point without having to remember all of the right args. Yes, I know I could write a little wrapper script to do # mount -t XXXfs -r /dev/cd0a /cdrom or whatever the right incantation is, but it'd be nice to have that 'noauto' option.

Uh, I don't think it's worth any effort. My internal modem works fine, and it looks very much like the UART was to blame (although, like I said, Linux worked fine on it... strange).

Time requires a NULL argument to be passed to it. The return value from time(NULL) is an integer, whereas ctime() requires a pointer to a long int.

I was able to boot up and install off CD-ROM with no problems (the disk partitioning utility forced me to start the root partition at offset 32, and wouldn't let me use the last few cylinders, but otherwise things got created okay, the files got installed and I can look around when booted off floppy) but I can't boot off of the hard drive. If I try to just boot up, it give a "drive not ready" error and asks for a floppy; if I put in the floppy and tell it to boot off of "sd(0,a)/kernel" it spews an apparently infinite number of "Error: C:0 H:0 S:0" messages to my screen. I've tied disabling the Adaptec BIOS and the >1024 cyl emulation, but it hasn't helped. The rest of the system info: it's a P133 on an Intel Zappa motherboard using an AMI BIOS.

I am using the /dev/cuaa0 driver in /etc/remote and am setting it up as a direct connect. The modem responds fine and will dial the number, but doesn't seem to make a connection to the system I am dialing into. (I've tried this on two different systems with two different modems) I will get a prompt, but when I type in my login and hit return, the cursor just goes to the far left. It won't work using ^J, either. If I wait long enough I will get a connection timeout. Is this something in the tty setup? Thanks.

She said that development efforts for other OS's (NT for example) currently had priority. All that aside, there are TWO drivers available for FreeBSD for the cyclades boards. One that is included in the kernel sources, and another, by Brian E. Litzinger . The latter one is rumored to be more stable and may (it's rumored) be integrated into the FreeBSD sources at some time (I'm not an athority on these things, mind you). In a month or two (as soon as my current batch of projects settles down) I'm planning on implementing a remote access server using the Cyclades boards. later, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 27 05:43:00 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id FAA16307 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 27 Oct 1995 05:43:00 -0700 Received: from cerberus.susq.com (cerberus.susq.com [141.162.2.12]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id FAA16302 for ; Fri, 27 Oct 1995 05:42:58 -0700 Received: from trex.dev.susq.com by cerberus.susq.com (8.6.12/SIG_FW-1.1) id IAA04596; Fri, 27 Oct 1995 08:42:55 -0400 Received: from aramis.dev.susq.com by trex.dev.susq.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA05024; Fri, 27 Oct 95 08:42:54 EDT From: danielt@susq.com (Daniel Tocatlian) Message-Id: <9510271242.AA05024@trex.dev.susq.com> Date: Fri, 27 Oct 95 08:42:53 EDT To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: seek UNIX pager software Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm looking for UNIX pager software for numeric and alpha-numeric pagers Any suggestions??

It's very difficult to code something when you have neither a specification, nor an existing implementation (in source form) to work from. Nevertheless, I believe someone is working on it.

Actually, let's be slightly more accurate here. time(3) takes as its only argument a pointer to type `time_t'. If that pointer is not null (NB: not `not NULL'), then it fills in that location with the current time. In any case, it also returns a value of type `time_t'. (Old systems spelled `time_t' l-o-n-g, but you should use `time_t' and define it yourself if the system doesn't. FreeBSD always has.) Depending on your preferred style of programming, you might want to write either: time_t thetime; time(&thetime); or time_t thetime; thetime = time((time_t *)0); Note that the `(time_t *)' case is important for portable programs, unless you can guarantee that a complete prototype of the `time' function is in scope. (I consider it to be good style anyway.) The second form has the benefit of permitting `thetime' to be stored in a register. The reason why `time' works this way goes back to Sixth Edition Unix. In v6, the `long' type had not yet been added to the C language. As a result, all functions dating back to that era which deal with times originally expected a pointer to the first element of an array of two `int' elements, and would perform the 32-bit arithmetic by hand. (Ever wonder about PDP_ENDIAN in ?) When `long' was added to the language, the calling convention of the time routines was left the same to ensure binary compatibility. Of course, `time' could not return its value directly until the language had `long', since in C one still cannot return array values. So that is why time(3), gmtime(3), localtime(3), and ctime(3) all take their arguments as pointers rather than as values. > long int thetime; > thetime = time(NULL); > printf("It is now %s\n", ctime(&thetime)); Actually, a newline is not necessary here, since the buffer filled in by `ctime' always ends with a newline. This is because the original implementation of the `date' program was something like: ------------------------------------ #include extern time(); extern char *ctime(); int main() { int thetime[2] time(thetime); fputs(ctime(thetime), stdout); return 0; } ------------------------------------ Obviously, you wouldn't ever want to copy this in a modern program. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm hoping someone can answer the following questions, because I have not been able to find answers to them myself. Just in case it matters for any/all of the questions, I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE. 1. Everytime I try to compile an application written for X, make won't work. I run xmkmf to create Makefile from Imakefile. I then run make. I always get output like the following: "Makefile", line 186: Missing dependency operator [other similar lines cut for brevity] "Makefile", line 280: Missing dependency operator Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue What am I doing wrong, or how can I fix it. 2. I can use tip to connect to the modem and then use AT commands to dial out, but I can't use it to dial a system in my remote/phones files. It doesn't recognize the phone number if the entry in /etc/remote references a number in /etc/phones. If /etc/modems exists, it just pretty much croaks. This has been happening since FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE. What can I do to get it to work like it is supposed to. 3. What is the format for quota.user/quota.group files? I know this was asked before, but I didn't see an answer in the mailing list. 4. How can I get xinit to connect to xdm's server rather than try to load it's own. I believe xdm's default configuration is set to allow connections from anyone, anywhere. Xinit has options for -query, -indirectquery, ..., but I couldn't get them to work. Xinit says server load failed, then it says something about connection to :0.0 refused. Thanks for any help you can send my way. Rodney -- _ /| \'o.O' urcf@fang.sunyit.edu (R.C.

Look for some code I *just* posted to the hackers mailing list this morning which does this very thing. It should be easy to find in the mail archives. I just found a problem with the scheme I'm using that exists in the original code such that IF the connection can't be re-established, PPP will fill up the logfile with lots (100+/sec) LCP messages, and after a period of time completely give up and exist. This same problem can occur with 'auto' mode as well, so I'll try to come up with a generic fix.

There is someone in England doing the daemon pieces. I already did the kernel pieces, but though the patches were posted to -hackers and -current, they have not been integrated. The last status on the user space pieces was that he had it fully stubbed and responding as iff all requests were granted. That is, the full protocol layer was implemented -- the hardest part. I will bug him for current status in the near future. When complete, this will be the first source available NFS locking, ever. Do not expect this to be complete any thime soon; it is a hell of a job reverse engineering everything, and he has a real life, unlike some of us. 8-).

If you are running xdm already, then -query is the correct way to start the server. Obviously, if you use xinit to do it, then xinit will pass the option to the xserver, xdm will allocate the server, and subsequent attempts by the other programs besides the server started by xinit will fail, being unable to open the display while xdm has it allocated. This is intentional, since otherwise you could eavesdrop on password entry to xdm. If you are trying to start an X login, and leave your console like that, then you should do it using /etc/ttys. There is a sample configuration in the X documentation that comes with the server package. You will have to find its location from the installed file list for the package, or get the distribution directly from ftp.xfree86.org. If you are trying to start an X server after you have logged in, you should just use xinit and should not be using xdm at all. If you are using xinit and xinit is failing, probably you have XFree86 configured improperly: either the XF86Config file is wrong, or you are using the wrong server, or you have a getty on your mouse, etc.. You should examine the documentation that comes with XFree86 to find out which is your problem, then correct it.

The secure stuff isn't on the CD-ROM because it's illegal for WC to 'export' it outside the US. The des.aa file is what you need. It's a lot easier for you to install it when you first set up your system, or before any passwords are set. The DES encrypted password text isn't compatible with the default MD5 stuff. You _can_ install it after the fact, however. Here's how I do it. * Back up your system. * Shutdown to single user. * Remove the symbolic links /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 and /usr/lib/libcrypt.a * cd / * tar xfvzp des.aa * Recreate your password file using DES encrypted text. Your old passwords WILL NOT WORK with DES installed. You can use the encrypted text passwords from any OS that uses DES encryption. > [question 2 - how many max. users?] > I even generated a new kernel, but it wasn't an option in there > either, as far as I could tell.

If you want to change the number of simultaneous logins, look for 'pseudo-device pty XX' in your kernel config and the MAKEDEV the new pty's.

In an attempt to get kernel core dumps, I edited /etc/rc to add dumpon, with a parameter set to the primary swapping device. Since this did not result in a dump, I modified the call to savecore to force a dump (savecore -f in /etc/rc). When the system did crash, /etc/init comes up in a weird state, stating that it could not run getty on some devices because there was no such file. This warning is repeated about once every 30 seconds, and the system never proceeds beyond that state. What might be going on here? Is there a way to retrieve the system with reinstalling everything?

Strangely enough, it doesn't. What gives? Huh? Who told you that? :-) Neither telnet nor pkg_manage have been changed in this snapshot, nor did I have (or announce) any plans to. The telnet problem will hopefully be fixed soon, pkg_manage I don't have any plans to touch. I've essentially re-implemented it in the system installation tool itself.

I wanna become an ISP (in a while, but I want to gather some info now). I wanna set up a main sys, a news server, and a misc server. Here's my outline (you'll see the point to this soon): news.whatever.net: full usenet feeds 2->4gig MODE 4 or Blue lightining hard drive 420mb MODE 4 or " for swap memory P60 -> 75 PCI machine 64 -> 128 EDO ram. FreeBSD (of course) Super fast ethr to main server whatever.net: DUAL P133 processors in a PCI machine 256 MB EDO ram. 420mb MODE 4 or Blue lighting hard drive for swap 1gig for apps (MODE 4/BL) 2->4 gigs for user space. T1 or T3 into net. 256k+ pipelined burst cache FreeBSD Will run: std shell logins only (from inet or direct from extras) extras.whatever.net: P133 or P100 PCI 32 -> 64 EDO ram 420 swap 1/2->1 gig for daemons high speed ethernet to main machine. FreeBSD Will run: POP3 httpd wu-ftpd Nameserver Slip/PPPd Std modem/ISDN shell login Now my ?'s are: 1. How many users do you think I run comfortably offa this config. 2. Do I have too much/too little disk and RAM (I heard a rumor that huge amounts of ram can bog a sys down.) 3. Are my choices for the machines vs what they run wise? 4. Is it possible to rebuild FreeBSD offa the cdrom discs? (I wanna -O3 the whole sys) Is it already optimised? And how much can I make in "one command" (as claims walnut creek cdrom co. "you can build the whole source tree in one command": what is considered the source tree? apps too?) 5. Any good books on ISPing you recomend? Thanks alot, Mike Perry P.S.

Any optimization level over -O has a higher chance of bugs.

The entire source tree, and I believe all of the ports can be made as well, although it's not setup to do that automatically since most folks don't have that kind of disk space lying around. # cd /usr/src # make world [ Wait a couple days ] The entire machine is completely re-built and installed from scratch modulo the setup files in /etc and the kernel. > apps too?)

Date: Sat, 28 Oct 1995 07:47:12 GMT Organization: Netcom X-Mailer: Forte Agent .99b.113 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Back in my days of using Linux, I got hooked on the MINICOM telecom program that came with it. Mainly because, since I only have 8 MB of memory, X ran really slowly, and for some reason, I find MINICOM's user interface a lot nicer than Seyon's, and it's easier to configure, etc. Anyway, I attempted porting the latest version of Minicom 1.71 (the latest version I could find), available at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/comm/minicom-1.71.tar.gz. The documentation CLAIMS that FreeBSD is supported, however I had to do some (admittedly minor) code hacking (mainly the config.h and the Makefile) to get it to compile right. And it works, but with several (some minor, some major) exceptions: 1. Can't get any other key to work as the "meta" key, besides the clunky sequence. It would be nice to be able to hit to dial instead of D. (Is this a limitation/incompatibility with the FreeBSD console driver? And can it be fixed?) 2. Occasionally, the modem port (I'm using /dev/cuaa0) will "lock up" and refuse to work. This usually happens when I start minicom, and it tries initializing the modem; sometimes, it fails. Exiting and re-running minicom usually clears this up. tty problem? am I using the right /dev file? [My modem is an internal USR Sportster 28.8, and it worked perefctly well under an identical setup, except running LInux instead of FreeBSD.] 3. This is the major problem: I've configured my download protocols (zmodem, in my case, since that's the only protocol I ever use). Auto-downloading works fine... BUT, when the protocol exits (i.e. the file transferred OK), MINICOM totally locks up -- the only way to exit (and this is by no means a graceful exit) is to flip over to another VC and 'kill -TERM' it. This is really annoying, to say the least. Anyway, is there a better port of minicom out there? (I didn't see one in either /cdrom/packages or /cdrom/ports [Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.0.5 release CD]). Does anyone even care? Am I the only one who prefers using a text-based comm program to using Seyon under X? Is the world coming to an end? [just kidding] Please reply by the lists (probably freebsd-ports). Thanks!

Unfortunately no. You have to compile a new kernel, remove the comments from the following lines: #device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint #options "PCVT_FREEBSD=210" # pcvt running on FreeBSD 2.0.5 #options XSERVER # include code for XFree86 And add a comment at the beginning of this line in your kernel config file: device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr Recompile and install the kernel generated from this config file. The syscons specific boottime initialization which is normally done in /etc/rc.i386 and /etc/sysconfig must be removed and pcvt specific boot- time initialization may/must be configured, for an example of a pcvt init file have a look at /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/Etc/rc.local. Also the file /etc/ttys must be edited to replace the cons25 keywords with either vt220 and/or the pcvt-specific entries to be found in the termcap database. Have a look at the files and directories below /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc for documentation on pcvt and have a look at the man pages for kcon(1), scon(1), cursor(1), loadfont(1) and ispcvt(1). In case you succeed with the conversation, i would appreciate it if you send in the actual procedure for inclusion in the to be build pcvt-FAQ :-) Hope this helps, hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?

Funny you should mention this. :-) This is a battle I am somewhat familiar with. (FreeBSD 2.0.5). I've got a box I've thrown together here to be a small POP mail server. (About two dozen users, UUCP feed for email). About 80% of the time, from cold start, the EtherExpress (at 0x300, irq 10, all "fancy" features disabled) is incorrectly probed as a Mitsumi CD-ROM controller. It seems more likely to probe correctly upon warm start, for some reason, but the Mitsumi driver still incorrectly claims the network interface an annoying large percentage of the time. The obvious solution is to build a kernel without the Mitsumi driver, and I'll do it eventually; but this is the only FreeBSD box I have around at the moment (rest are BSDi), and it's got a whopping 4MB of RAM and a 200MB HD. :-) From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Oct 28 13:36:47 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id NAA21572 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 28 Oct 1995 13:36:47 -0700 Received: from madonna.ic.net (root@[152.160.131.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA21547 ; Sat, 28 Oct 1995 13:36:39 -0700 Received: (from rob@localhost) by madonna.ic.net (8.6.12/8.6.9) id QAA00672; Sat, 28 Oct 1995 16:23:28 -0400 Posted-Date: Sat, 28 Oct 1995 16:23:28 -0400 Message-Id: <199510282023.QAA00672@madonna.ic.net> Subject: Re: Sendmail problems To: gcrutcher@datatrek.com (Gary Crutcher) Date: Sat, 28 Oct 1995 16:23:27 -0400 (EDT) Cc: hackers@freebsd.org, questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <28101995131320680.II26500@datatrek.com> from "Gary Crutcher" at Oct 28, 95 01:08:31 pm From: "Rob Misiak" Reply-To: rdm@ic.net X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 735 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Gary Crutcher ("Sendmail problems") wrote: > > I have just connected a laptop via ethernet to my freebsd machine.

Do you think the problem might be that you don't have a POP server set up on the FreeBSD box? You should have a line which is something like: pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper -s in /etc/inetd.conf, and (obviously) a POP daemon installed on your machine.

While Eudora uses SMTP to talk to sendmail for sending mail, it uses the POP protocal from retrieving mail from a mailbox on a Unix system. This requires a POP server on said unix system. The most common POP server is popper, but its buggy, with several version floating around with various bugs fixed. I highly recommend the POP server that comes with Mark Crispin's excellent IMAP package available from ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/* (you probably want the 3.? beta version, which is actually release quality, not the 4.0 alpha version).

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I've got an urgent question for the Network Guru's of FreeBSD. I run an ISP using FreeBSD on our systems, and have noticed the occasional peculiar problem involving user's SLIP and PPP connections on our terminal server, a 486/66 running FreeBSD 2.1.0-950726-SNAP. Here is a description of the problem: >From time to time routing information appears to be LOST or thrown away. This can happend at any time, at the start of a session, or 1 hour into a dialup session. I received a call from a user, he said that he could not contact our server despite the fact that he was connected. His slip interface was connected and properly configured. sl2: flags=c011 mtu 552 inet 199.84.157.3 --> 199.84.157.21 netmask 0xffffff00 I did a 'netstat -rn' only to see that his SLIP interface was not listed in the table. I tried pinging his endpoint address '199.84.157.21', and got no response. He indicated that his modem's lights were not flashing. I took down and deleted the slip interface using 'ifconfig sl2 down delete'. I then reconfigured the interface using 'ifconfig sl2 199.84.157.3 199.84.157.21'. I got the following message: 'ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists'. How can that be? I again downed and deletedthe sl2 interface. I reconfigured the interface with 'ifconfig sl2 199.84.157.3 199.84.157.254'. I pinged the endpoint address(...254) and the remote modem's lights were blinking. A good sign. Reconfiguring the interface back to its original state (199.84.157.3 -> 199.84.157.21), I again got the message 'ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists'. I flushed the routing tables using 'route flush' and still no luck. I did however get the message 'got only -1 for rlen'. I downed the slip interface and again flushed the routing table, again I got the message 'got only -1 for rlen'. I re-established the slip interface using 'ifconfig sl2 199.84.157.3 199.84.157.21', and it worked!! Obviously somewhere along the line, the endpoint address '199.84.157.21' got stuck in the routing table with some sort of 'dummy' entry that netstat wouldn't print, or didn't see. Could the chains (if any) have gotten corrupted? Since route flush did fix the problem when the interface wasn't up, this indicated that 'route' could see the whole table whereas 'netstat' perhaps cannot? Has anyone seen this problem, has it been fixed in a more recent version of FreeBSD? Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated. As you can imagine, this is a most frustrating problem! Thanks!
