Any video card that supports text mode is supported by FreeBSD. If you mean XFree86, then most later Diamonds are supported by the 3.1.2-S release (and perhaps more in the beta releases). The SCSI support is rather good. I'd recommend checking the Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook), section 2.1.1.

If the kernel's tables change while netstat (for example) is traversing it (because it gets stuck on a nameserver lookup somewhere), then it could get to a part of the table which doesn't exist anymore, and hence fall over with that error. It's quite common to see it on WWW servers, for example, where the network table changes very rapidly, and you typically have lots of connections from remote sites and hence nameserver lookups take a long time. Dunno about systat -netstat, never use it. As for `odd system behaviour', more details would be needed. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.

I'd like to study the source code for FreeBSD, but it seems that the source isn't readily available unless the operating system is installed first. I'm not really interested in running it, just yet, but I am very interested in looking at the kernel code right now. The 'src' directory seems filled with sections of archive files, but I don't apparently have the tools handy to read them (I tried the sbase.aa file, for example.) Any suggestions about transferring the source code without having to install the O/S?

The scanner I had didn't come with a controller, though it was documented. My brother-in-law lent me one to try out, and I connected it directly to my SCSI controller. As to the scanner: I connected it via a standard SCSI controller (probably Adaptec 154x, but I've forgotten). The software I found was less than perfect, but I was able to get acceptable black-and-white images. Colour images came out too light and too green. I'm sure that it's relatively trivial to fix it, but I just haven't had the time. The other problems I have with this scanner are: - It is *sloooooooow*. A full-colour scan took about 10 minutes. To be fair, I'm not sure I'm talking about exactly the same model that you mention. It was a Mustek Paragon, but I can't remember the "II SP". Possibly this indicates a model 2 with single pass, in which case they would have addressed the worst problem. - It doesn't drop the SCSI bus during the scan. Considering the time it takes, and that it has to write data to disk, this means you can't use it with a SCSI disk on the same host adaptor. I had an IDE disk on the machine I tried it with. I decided against buying the scanner, mainly because of the speed and the work that still needed to be done. I have some modified software here if you want it.

First, what it means: the driver wants a write length which is a multiple of 512 bytes. That works well enough with tar normally, but not if you compress, in which case it writes in dribs and drabs. You can fix it with: tar czf - | dd obs=20b of=/dev/rst0 This will force a block size of 20 blocks.

I don't know why it's got me stumped, but it does. Heres the situation: +------+ +------+ Internet <---> | ppp0 | | | | ix0 | <-H-> | ix0 | +------+ +------+ Box A Box B In the simple diagram above, BoxA serves as the link to the outside world via interface ppp0. BoxA and BoxB are connected via a hub by a couple ix0 interfaces. The situation is this, BoxB:ix0 can see BoxA:ix0, and can even see the Internet (when net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 on BoxA). But, it cannot see interface BoxA:ppp0. BoxA:ppp0, BoxA:ix0, and BoxB:ix0 are all part of the same network, ip address wise (x.y.z.49, x.y.z.50, and x.y.z.51 respectively). Here's BoxA's routing table: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default joplin.aa.net UGSc 57 36 ppp0 localhost localhost UH 2 271 lo0 ws2 0:aa:0:3a:85:7a UHLW 0 22 lo0 ws3 0:aa:0:17:39:cb UHLW 4 156100 ix0 682 And here's BoxB's: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default ws2 UGSc 2 5 ix0 localhost localhost UH 0 116 lo0 204.137.132.48/28 link#2 UC 0 0 ws2 0:aa:0:3a:85:7a UHLW 7 179533 ix0 1195 ws3 0:aa:0:17:39:cb UHLW 0 4 lo0 Given this information, it seems that I somehow need to tell BoxA:ix0 to pass all the packets it doesn't know what to do with to BoxA:ppp0. I can't, however, figure out what route line does it. Everything I've tried has either destroyed the arp mapping of the ethernet interfaces, or just plain not worked. Any pointers appreciated. This one seems like it should be easy.

The machine is a SLiRP-based PPP dialup, WWW server, and a mail server. I am sure that the tables change CONSTANTLY, since every socket opened by any of the dialup users has a corresponding socket on the host. Many nameserver lookups fail, as many of the machines that hit our Web server do not have names. I would be VERY surprised, though, if a programmer were careless enough to traverse a linked list whose links could potentially change without locking resources -- or deferring insertions and deletions until after a traversal. Doing nameserver lookups in the MIDDLE of the traversal is EXTREMELY poor practice, since it maximizes the danger of inconsistencies even if the list is traversed safely.

Something that just bit me after an X server upgrade was the X fonts. Make sure that every directory in your FontPath exists, and has actual fonts in it. Then, enter each directory and type "mkfontdir". My problem was that I didn't install the 100dpi fonts, but the upgrade created a directory for them anyway, and an entry in XF86Config. "mkfontdir" in that directory had no effect (no fonts -> no fonts.dir), and Java seems to like having "fonts.dir" files around. You'll probably want to restart the X server after either paring down XF86Config or running mkfontdir, just to make sure everything is re-initialized. Of course, this assumes that you are using XFree86. I'd imagine the X-Inside server would experience similar difficulties, but I don't know which files you'd have to modify. Something else to watch out for: If you've ever installed the Netscape.ad file into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults, you'll need to either install the newest version or just remove it (recommended). I think the symptom of this problem is that Netscape won't start at all, so it's probably no help to you now. Just watch out in the future, since it has bitten me a few times. Netscape has worked well for me on both a 2.1 and a 2.2-current system. I tend to grab the newest version as soon as I see a cvs commit log for ports/www/netscape3, and the only troubles I've encountered were the X fonts and playing about with the about:image-cache URL a bit too much. Java & "View Source" work fine for me, and crashes are very rare. -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis - blewis@vet.purdue.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 22 11:11:58 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA02503 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 22 Sep 1996 11:11:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from al.imforei.apana.org.au (pjchilds@al.imforei.apana.org.au [202.12.89.41]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA02455 for ; Sun, 22 Sep 1996 11:11:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from pjchilds@localhost) by al.imforei.apana.org.au (8.7.6/8.7.3) id DAA09464; Mon, 23 Sep 1996 03:41:47 +0930 (CST) Date: Mon, 23 Sep 1996 03:41:47 +0930 (CST) From: Peter Childs Message-Id: <199609221811.DAA09464@al.imforei.apana.org.au> To: pedrosal@nce.ufrj.br, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Server for TGUI 9440 X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk In article <9609211737.AA18849@barra.nce.ufrj.br> you wrote: : Dear Sirs: Gday! : I installed the new version 2.1.5 of FreeBSD and was surprised that : it still hasn't the server for the Trident TGUI 9440 video card!

Since one of the reasons I am running this setup is to check multiple mailboxes, this would be a concern for me...You kind of lost me above, Currently 'popclient' delivers mail to /usr/mail/ajohn. Is what you are suggesting that I use popclient to deliver mail to multiple folders, say one for each account that I use popclient with, then use some other program like procmail to get the mail from the multiple folders to 'var/mail/ajohn'?

Nah.. don't think so :) I agree. But at the very least one could make a quick copy of the list rather than trying to traverse it in situ. (After all, name resolution itself could alter the list, GUARANTEEING that it would get messed up as it was scanned.) The kernel could provide this as a service. --Brett From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 22 12:05:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA08314 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 22 Sep 1996 12:05:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from buffnet4.buffnet.net (root@buffnet4.buffnet.net [205.246.19.13]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA08058 for ; Sun, 22 Sep 1996 12:05:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from buffnet1.buffnet.net (mmdf@buffnet1.buffnet.net [205.246.19.10]) by buffnet4.buffnet.net (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id OAA05955 for ; Sun, 22 Sep 1996 14:06:43 GMT Received: from buffnet7.buffnet.net by buffnet1.buffnet.net id aa27737; 22 Sep 96 15:09 EDT Date: Sun, 22 Sep 1996 15:09:41 -0400 (EDT) From: Stephen Hovey To: Leonard Chung cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Default speed of cuaa*?

I tried to make a SLIP connection to my ISP. But after the link got established, my computer refused to assign the IP address to the sl0 device. My ISP uses dynamic SLIP, so I do not need to know the IP address which should be assigned to sl0 before the connection established. I used DIP to make SLIP connection with my ISP. I usually invoke #dip -t to start a DIP session, then I use term command inside DIP to dial my ISP's remote machine manually. After the connection has established (indicated by line "CONNECT" followed by "9600" below it) then I will be prompted "Login:" and I have to enter my user name and then the password to log into the remote machine. After logging in, I should invoke SLIP in remote machine to start SLIP session. The remote machine will then indicate that a SLIP session has been started by sending line "The assigned IP address is xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx" followed by "SLIP mode enabled" below it. I used another tty or xterm (if I use XWindow system) to invoke slattach and adding the default route : #slattach -h -s 9600 /dev/cuaa1 (worked well) #route add default xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx (---> this is the IP address assigned by my ISP) But my sistem confusingly refused to add the route into the routing table by saying "Host is unreachable". Well, up to this point, I thought that route command should work well because I have attached the sl0 device to the cuaa1 device, through which the assigned IP address will be sent and be assigned to sl0 device. Am I right? But it didn't. I couldn't even "ping" the assigned IP address (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx) Note: I used to use Linux to connect with my ISP, and all command invocation above worked well. I have configured the sl0 device in /etc/sysconfig and I just put "up" after "ifconfig_sl0=" line (becomes ----> ifconfig_sl0="up"). Somebody here please help me ... I would be very grateful for the help. ********** Eka Kelana ********** * I would like to thank Mr. Gary Chrysler (tcg@ime.net) who has helped me to set up my PPP. Well it's still not working till now and I've decided to use SLIP instead.

Anyways, the Alt-F2 screen went something like this: . bin bin/cat bin/chmod /stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 /stand/cpio premature end of file Also, on a hunch I removed the files checksum.md5 and install.sh from my \freebsd\bin directory. While I got the same initial error message ("Unable to transfer the bin distribution from wd0s1"), the debug screen showed that my installation went marginally further. The debug messages in this case were: bin bin/cat bin/chmod DEBUG: Request for bin/bin.ab from DOS bin /csh bin/date bin/dd /stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error pid 37 (gunzip) uid ): exited on signal 11 DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 /stand/cpio: premature end of file Is this any hint? Does this mean that the checksum.md5 and install.sh files that ar on the FTP site are not necessary? If they aren't, are there any other files that are not necessary as well? The /bin directory on the ftp site contains the files bin.aa through bin.cq, plus bin.inf and bin.mtr, as well as checksum.md5 and install.sh. Or this is this all a red herring?

Yes. procmail should correctly handle mailbox locking (according to the man page for mine, it uses fcntl). However, a simpler solution is probably formail (from the procmail package) and mail.local (the standard mail delivery program). The basic idea would be something like this: #!/bin/sh popclient -3 -o temp-mailbox-1 -u -p formail -s /usr/libexec/mail.local ajohn < temp-mailbox-1 Remember to substitute and appropriately. This script can be repeated for each mailbox you're running, and can also be used to receive email from many mailboxes at the same time. Make sure you use different temporary mailbox names for each separate mailbox you deliver. If you add some "run only if the connection is up" code, or if you have a dial on demand or dedicated connection, then you can put this in cron. An advantageous side effect of using popclient to deliver to a temporary file is that if procmail or formail suddenly fail, you can keep the raw POP mailbox around and try delivery again or read it manually using mail or more or something. If you'd like, you can see my "get POP mail" script. It's designed for someone reading mail with pine, so it is probably a bit on the complex side, but it might be helpful to someone else. It's written in perl. "Features" include: 1. Uses a separate folder for its inbox, which contains multiple separate inboxes (supported by recent versions of pine). 2. Manages backup copies of the raw incoming mail. This is handy when I mess stuff up (like yesterday, when I changed things so that my mailing lists got dumped to never-never land). It helps to ease my mind and keeps me more willing to experiment. Additionally, I don't have to remember to delete the old backups, since the script manages backup rotation, as well. 3. Pipes the incoming boxes to procmail. I hope this helps--I've been fiddling a lot with this stuff of late. bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 22 15:59:05 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id PAA01306 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 22 Sep 1996 15:59:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cube.i-pi.com (cube.i-pi.com [198.49.217.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id PAA01268 for ; Sun, 22 Sep 1996 15:58:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from ingham@localhost) by cube.i-pi.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id QAA23371 for questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 22 Sep 1996 16:58:57 -0600 From: Kenneth Ingham Message-Id: <199609222258.QAA23371@cube.i-pi.com> Subject: pccardd : No PC-CARD slots To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 22 Sep 1996 16:58:56 -0600 (MDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm obviously missing something. I am running 2.2-960801-SNAP on a Dell Latitude XP with a 486dx4-100 and 20MB of memory. The card I am playing with is a US Robotics 28.2 modem; this card works under DOS (I'd really rather use a real OS though :-). I have the pccard stuff enabled in the kernel config file. Specifically, my config file includes: controller crd0 device pcic0 at crd? device pcic1 at crd? At boot time, it says: PC-Card Vadem 468 (5 mem & 2 I/O Windows) pcic: controller irq 3 ... pccard driver sio added ... pccard driver ep added ep0 not found at 0x300 (not surprising; it isn't there at the moment) ...

When I try to start pccardd, it says: cardd fatal error: No PC-CARD slots I checked the mailing list archives, but the only hint was to make sure I had the proper lines in my kernel config file (which I believe I do).

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"**). 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. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. Nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to 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. 4. Please 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. 5. Please 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. 6. If you 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. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it.

Do you have the code to FreeBSD's netstat? (I don't > have room for the source tree here.) Is it really coded this badly? Yes, it is coded like this. However, I would not class it as `bad' practise, since you are READING from a linked list during this traversal, *NOT* doing modifications. Hence, running off the end of the list, or into a modified area of the list, should NOT produce anything more than a failed kvm_read.

If anybody wants the entire logged output from make, just e-mail me and I'll send it to you privately, as it's pretty long. I'm running this on a 486DX2-80 (AMD) with 12 megs of RAM, a 1.6 gig EIDE HD, and an ISA bus. Also, how can I make more console devices? I tried "./MAKEDEV ttyv4" and "sh MAKEDEV ttyv4" while in the /dev directory to try and make more console devices, but to no avail. MAKEDEV would say "ttyv4 - no such device name".

If they are non-fatal, then I would say that they are just 'line noise' and forget them. On my OS/2 box I get FCS errors every so often over the wireles modem; I suspect just plain noise.

The problem is that it's not doing the necessary CR->CR/LF conversion for DOS. You may need to run it through a converter to add these. Take a look at the questions archives for scripts (http://www.freebsd.org).

Subject: FreeBSD installation from DOS partition Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I first tried to install the software from floppy disks by downloading all the bin files via FTP, where I had made all the floppies (15, including the boot floppy) and put the files on them in the right order... and it didn't work. When I restarted my computer, I formatted the 600MB DOS partition with a startup disk. Now, I can boot DOS, or uncomplete BSD from the HD. I have all the Bin files on my DOS partition, in C:\FREEBSD\BIN, and that's all. I selected the Minimal installation stuff, and made sure that BIN was the only dist. set selected. When I try to install, the install program tells me that the files for bin could not be found on the media type selected. I made sure over and over that I was selecting my install media to be DOS partition. I used novice, express, and custom install; I felt like I knew exactly what I was doing, I wasn't confused, but it just keeps telling me that on my media, the bin files cannot be found. I have double checked to make sure all the files are there, in the C:\FREEBSD\BIN directory. I hope you can help me figure this out.

It hasn't got command-line editing (OK, it's not a programming feature); b) it has functions only in the newer versions, and these functions run after internal commands, not before them (what about this one: $ cd() > echo Hi! $ cd /tmp Hi! $ ); c) original sh hasn't got chdir, only cd, so you cannot make a new cd command, which change the directory, and change your prompt to $PWD (well, you can use it, if there is csh-like alias command, or the functions run before builtin commands - as with FBSD's sh); d) it cannot use the $(...) form of command substitution (aka `...`); it hasn't got a $((..)), so you have to write: i=`expr $i + 1` instead of i=$(( $i + 1 )) (well, modern shell's doesn't need the $ at all in the $i) e) it hasn't got set -o, and most of the features of it; f) it cannot cd - g) it can unset a shell-variable with a=, not with unset a; (well, it's very old form) h) it has a type builtin command, which is missing from FBSD's sh, which can say, what type of a command (like which in csh, whence in ksh, and type in bash, but it says the body of a function, too - if in that shell, there are functions) i) it hasn't got <> redirection j) it doesn't know the ! reserved word and so on; would you like some more? Well, mail me, and I will search for another differences. Now, I don't know more. Opps, sh's hasn't got getopts, they can use only getopt (some of them has getopt builtin, some of them has getopt external) (Well, some of these features missing from Bourne-shell's of pre-SVR2, but some of them are missing from modern Unices' sh.) -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.

Maybe, I'll write somesing about it, but: on syscons, you have to make: 1) font files (OK, there are so many on /usr/share/syscons/fonts) (and I've found, that Linux font files are OK, too) You load them with /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -f 2) keyboard driver files (there are some on /usr/share/keymaps You load them with /usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -l 3) maybe a screenmap file (undocumented in 2.1R, but from the sources, you can understand the usage) - I made, but think, that mostly it isn't need You can load them with /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -l 4) the main part: locale and collating files. These files says, which characters are letters, which are printable, and how do you sort them. (these files are in /usr/share/locale/???/{LC_CTYPE,LC_COLLATE} Get some sources (from /usr/src/usr.bin/{mklocale,colldef}/data/), and write your own (but these are made for some language/country - as I remember) and from the sources, generate the binaries with /usr/bin/{mklocale,colldef} 5) maybe an LC_TIME file in that directory, which says, how can you show the date (well, the LC_TIME file from -current works with 2.1R, but you have to delete the comment lines (after modifying the source) - or better, move the commentlines at the end of the file). Well, some programs have problems with LC_TIME (eg: ls !!!) 6) make a new LANG variable (exported), pointed to the locale directory, eg: $ LANG=hu_HU.ISO_8859-2 ; export LANG 6b) maybe export the ENABLE_STARTUP_LOCALE variable: $ ENABLE_STARTUP_LOCALE= ; export ENABLE_STARTUP_LOCALE sometimes, it generates interesting output from programs (well, date is OK, but ls -l not - I've just discovered, and I'll ``send-pr'' it; and somebody had problems with X, too) I'd like to see my hungarian locale in the next version (and after it, too) what do I need to do? To whom need I send it? Where do I need to put? (Of course, there may be some bugs in it, but I think, noone can test correctly his own work.)

It shouldn't be finding your filesystem unclean unless you're powering off or resetting the machine without shutting it down completely fist, but in any case, this isn't what's causing the hang... The hang is most likely occuring because, after the filesystem checks, the system configures your network devices and is likely hanging because it can't resolve any hostnames and/or perhaps because it doesn't have the correct setting for the ethernet media type. Do you have an ethernet card in the machine, and if so, what type is it? Try typing one or two ctrl-C's when it has hung...this will kill off the hanging ifconfig command. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 23 05:33:36 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id FAA19290 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 23 Sep 1996 05:33:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from agora.rdrop.com (root@agora.rdrop.com [199.2.210.241]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id FAA19259 for ; Mon, 23 Sep 1996 05:33:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mercurio.uc.pt by agora.rdrop.com with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #17) id m0v5ACT-0008ueC; Mon, 23 Sep 96 05:33 PDT Received: from student.dei.uc.pt by mercurio.uc.pt (4.1/SMI-4.2) id AA04790; Mon, 23 Sep 96 13:33:54 +0200 Received: by student.dei.uc.pt; (5.65v3.2/1.1.8.2/08Jan96-0605PM) id AA06514; Mon, 23 Sep 1996 13:23:49 GMT Date: Mon, 23 Sep 1996 13:23:49 +0000 (GMT) From: Pedro Alexandre Vapi To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: X's Q: Libraries...

A while back I bought myself a copy of 'Core Java' and on the CD came a JDK for Windoze Mac and Solaris. I've been doing Java on Windoze even though I hate rebooting to it. Its just stable in the sense of 'Java' in general. Kaffe doesnt even have awt you have to get some other package 'under development' and such. It seems to me Sun only wanted Microsoft to get hurt from Java's release. Ports to ther Unices including Linux's JDK have been VERY lame. I know this might sound terrible to Unix lovers in general, but if your going to develop Java for Commericial Use you can't deal with 'Beta' compilers interpreters and appletviewers.

Thanks for your help. It turns out that one of my HP Jet Direct cards has an older firmware version than the others which is why I do not have the banner page feature on it.

It is true that the .text is larger for the new ksh. However, the per-process .data/.bss is much smaller. Specifically, bash is using approx 68pages!!! of .data/.bss per invocation. Ksh uses about 18 pages per invocation. But bash uses 69pages of constant (and shared) .text and ksh uses 97 pages of constant (and shared) .text. If you are going to choose between ksh and bash on a heavily used system, it appears that ksh might use less real memory in the long run. (Note that the /proc/xxx/map file is useful for figuring these things out!!!) It is really amazing that bash uses so much memory. I haven't measured the memory usage when some of the pages have been reclaimed by paging. Bash is probably using less pages than indicated after process startup though. Since shell processes are used so often, it would be interested to benchmark a system (under load) with the various shells to find out which ones function best under loaded ISP or server-type conditions.

(sorry, long) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am experiencing problems with my dedicated ISDN connection to the Internet. My telco and ISP naturally believe that the problems are not theirs, however, I cannot find any problems in my setup. The system: basically small ethernet LAN connected to a Gandalf router/ISDN box: addresses 207.34.140.xxx subnet 207.34.140.224 --x--------x----x----------[]------>ISDN to ISP | | | router/ISDN FBSD FBSD W95 Gandalf 5242i LANLine 102 99 98 97 (100,101) The FreeBSD 2.1.5R systems are running web, mail, DNS, etc. Because the system rarely changes, I am mot using routed or gated, but just using static routing to the router, which is the default gateway (routing tables included below for reference). The problem is that 1-3 times a day (tending to be during periods of heavy usage) I cannot see out of my network, i.e. I can ping the router and each of the machines, but not past the router to the Internet. The router has to manually reset before communications are restored. If I do a 'route -n monitor' I get RTM_LOSING messages like this: got message of size 124 RTM_LOSING: Kernel Suspects Partitioning: len 124, pid: 0, seq 0, errno 0, flags : locks: inits: sockaddrs: 199.84.138.164 207.34.140.97 Is this message a cause for concern or a hint as to what might be the problem? Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what the problem might be? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Neil Jensen Habanero Studios Ltd.

Although all seemed well, there were quite a few files left in the "work" dir that were not installed anywheres else. The ports structure created the /usr/local/share/java dir. The classes.zip file was installed under the ./java dir. this seems normal. When tying to install "kaffe" (using REL 2.1.5 ports structure) it gave the error can't find /usr/local/share/java/ classes.zip ??? yet I saw with my own two eyes IT IS INSTALLED !

For sendmail, the usual reference is the Sendmail book from O'Reilly, by Bryan Costales with Eric Allman & Neil Rickert. It's got a picture of a bat on the front. When you see its size, you will say to yourself, "Yes. sendmail is very detail oriented." :) As far as POP3, the most basic drill goes like this: 1. Install a POP server from the ports or packages collection. The obvious one to use is popper, although there are other options. 2. Use adduser to add usernames and passwords for the people who want POP3 accounts. If you don't want them to have shell access, add an invalid shell (such as /email-only) to /etc/shells, and use that as their default shell. Tell the users to use your.host.com (where your.host.com is the name of your machine) as the machine to connect to, with their freebsd username and password as their actual username and password. I hope this helps. bryan -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 23 16:57:36 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id QAA10580 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 23 Sep 1996 16:57:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from foo.netvoyage.net (ip182.lax.primenet.com [204.212.59.182]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA10135 for ; Mon, 23 Sep 1996 16:56:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from bkogawa@localhost) by foo.netvoyage.net (8.7.5/8.6.12) id PAA15199; Mon, 23 Sep 1996 15:04:18 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 23 Sep 1996 15:04:18 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199609232204.PAA15199@foo.netvoyage.net> To: root@beyond.sdi.agate.net Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Web Server Newsgroups: localhost.freebsd.questions References: <199609231340.NAA00774@beyond.sdi.agate.net> From: "Bryan K.

If so, I believe Apache will do this). >Please email me back at > root@Beyond.sdi.agate.net -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 23 17:27:49 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id RAA22852 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 23 Sep 1996 17:27:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dns2.noc.best.net (dns2.noc.best.net [206.86.0.21]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id RAA22827 for ; Mon, 23 Sep 1996 17:27:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mitchj.oz.net (Cust50.Max2.Seattle.WA.MS.UU.NET [153.36.123.50]) by dns2.noc.best.net (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id RAA01436 for ; Mon, 23 Sep 1996 17:27:35 -0700 Message-Id: <199609240027.RAA01436@dns2.noc.best.net> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Mitch James" Organization: James Lumber & Ace Hardware To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 23 Sep 1996 17:34:39 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: Private network & routing to the internet via PPP w/one IP Reply-to: mitch@hardware.com Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.42a) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi All, I have been reading the archives and all the fine manuals I can find to for an answer and still don't have one. I need to double check my understanding of what FreeBSD V2.1.5 can do. I have one IP via PPP to a local ISP. I am using the BSD box to connect and want to route the private network IP's in and out to the Internet. I'm using a 3com 509 eithernet card to the Win95 machines. I'm able to telnet into the BSD box but not though to the Inet. My question is: Can FreeBSD 2.1.5 route the trafic for a private IP network as it comes on the CD-Rom without any other software? or Must I use SOCK5 ? Are there other options to SOCKS5? One last question, is there a port/package preprepared for FreeBSD 2.1.5 available @freebsd.org? If there is, where is it? Thank you all in advance, the sharing of your cumulative knowledge has been one of the greatest benifits of I've received from learning about FreeBSD.

After about a 30 mionute pause, the boot process came back with a 'creep - user unknown message' and then continued with it's unresponsibeness. I can only assume that since the PC NIS reads the passwd files from the master NIS server that this hangup is due to the fact that the system is trying to get user data from the master server and because the netowrk is non fuctional it is coughing at this point. How can I drop to a shell prompt with all my file systems mounted and make the change that is needed to the /etc/sysconfig file so that I can bring the system back up ? I would appreciate it if somebody could directo some mail at the following account to help me get this sorted out. kevins@cyberbeach.net Thanks.

I'm not sure if it will let the index file be index.* (mostly because this would be very confusing if there were more than one index.[whatever] files) but you can certainly tell it to use index.htm or index.cgi or INDEX.HTM if the original index.html can't be found.

You can grab FreeBSD from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE Grab the 'INSTALL' file and read that for installation instructions. Cruise around http://www.freebsd.org for more information, or ask us. It won't be one big file; it'll be several directories.

What doesn't work about it? If it's not recognized at all at boot time (i.e. nothing out of dmesg | grep wcd0) then either it's not in your kernel (in 2.1.5 it's in by default by not in 2.1.0) or your CD is in the wrong position for it. The best position to try for an EIDE CD is the slave on the master controller. You may also try it as the master on the secondary controller. In any case, it will not work if you connect it to the IDE controller on a SoundBlaster.

There's a classy sed technique for this, but I know perl better, so... ---- SNIP ---- #!/usr/bin/perl -ni.bak s/\r//g; print; ---- SNIP ---- This works with filenames. If you call that file ms2unix, then do a chmod a+x ms2unix , then you can run it like so: ./ms2unix file.txt and it'll strip ^M from file.txt . A backup with CRs is stored in file.txt.bak . The filter equivalent is: perl -ne 's/\r//g;print;' which should take stdin, kill CR, and pump to stdout. >Thanks >Randy -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 24 00:50:11 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA03205 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 24 Sep 1996 00:50:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE [137.226.225.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA03183 for ; Tue, 24 Sep 1996 00:50:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de [137.226.31.2]) by Campino.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (RBI-Z-5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id JAA00267; Tue, 24 Sep 1996 09:45:10 +0200 Received: (from kuku@localhost) by gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (8.6.11/8.6.9) id JAA04894; Tue, 24 Sep 1996 09:51:49 +0200 Message-Id: <199609240751.JAA04894@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Date: Tue, 24 Sep 1996 09:51:47 +0200 From: kuku@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de (Christoph P.

In case this hasn't been answered before: the current version of FreeBSD 2.1.5. The most convenient place to get it is from Walnut Creek CDROM (sales@cdrom.com). The cheapest way to get it is by ftp from FreeBSD.org (see http://www.FreeBSD.org for details). > Date: Mon, 23 Sep 1996 15:48:08 -0700 > Subject: yet another question > > In the installation file in the FTP, it says I cant use stuff like > stacker or double space. I use SoftRAM 95, which doubles my RAM, not > hard drive space. Is that ok or should I uninstall it? SoftRAM 95 runs under Microsoft stuff (presumably Windows 95%), so it won't hurt you anyway. You'll need to create a separate partition for FreeBSD and boot from that. In fact, the same sort of applies to Stacker or DoubleSpace. You can leave it there in your Microsoft environment, you just can't access the Microfsoft files if they're running under disk compression schemes.

Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello: I just purchased a new PC, and FreeBSD 2.1.5 to run on it. Installation from a CD-ROM did not work. Installation from a DOS partition did not work. Installation of a minimum system from floppy-disks worked well. The details of my hardware are: AMD 486-133MHz PCI-bus mother-board from American Megatrends. Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller. 2.1GB Seagate SCSI disk-drive for DOS. 1.2GB Hewlet-Packard SCSI disk-drive for FreeBSD. Plextar 4X SCSI CD-ROM drive. Stealth Video-card. 33600 Baud internal modem (I do not remember the manufacturer). Creative Technologies Sound-Blaster-16 card. Gravis game-port card. While trying to install FreeBSD from the CD-ROM, or from DOS disk-space, I would get multiple errors complaining about check-sum erorrs and premature end-of-files. The CD-ROM drive, and the DOS disk_drive work well for DOS applications. When doing the installation from floppy-disks, I had no harware problems or warnings. The FreeBSD manual was a little incomplete: Be sure to copy all the files in /bin on to floppies, not just those listed in the table. Now, I need to spend some time debugging my hardware problem so that I can get the rest of the operating system loaded. Hopefully, this will be of some help to those trying to get 2.1.5 up on a SCSI system. Sincerely, Michael Nix AMD, Austin September 24, 1996 8:22 a. m.

Since you don't really want to log in as root (much), then it is quite common to redirect mail for root to a standard user account. After you create the account, add a sendmail alias (to /etc/aliases). >Help!

Don't forget to run 'newaliases' afterwards. If you want to give one person two usernames (not recommended, it causes all sorts of messes), use vipw, copy their current entry to a new entry (use 'yy' to copy and 'p' to paste), then change just the username. That way they have the same UID and won't cause permissions problems. > Help! I can't seem to configure my PCI Ethernet card!!

Try disabling the ze0 driver (in -c) to see if the zp0 driver will take it. The zp driver is for the 3com 3c589, so I don't think it'll take.

The 3com 3c589 is also supported (by the zp driver or the PCCARD stuff). It's a great card, and if you get the 10BaseT version, it's pretty cheap too.

It sure can. I do this with my systems at home: one FreeBSD host has a ppp connection to the Internet and an Ethernet interface to all the other FreeBSD hosts. You just need to edit /etc/sysconfig and set the gateway option to YES: # If you want this host to be a gateway, set to YES. gateway=YES Also, make sure you've set up routing correctly. Then, reboot your system.

Ah. I thought it was a typo at first since the page you referenced said 16550. You'd have to try it. If it's a standard PC UART then it should work. Whether FreeBSD can take advantage of the warp speed is the question. Unfortunately, I wouldn't know if it can or not.

So > what is missing and/or inaccurate in the instructions for floppy install? I'll try to expand on this. 1) On each floppy, the distfiles must be in their respective directory. In the bin set, you must make a bin\ directory and put the bin.* files in that. 2) bin.inf must be on the first disk. On each following disk, the .inf file for the next distribution must be on it. I believe the one after bin is manpages. Check the archives; someone made up detailed instructions for this. If you want to try this, I have a hunch that it'll work. Try putting *all* the .inf's only on the very first disk. I haven't tried it myself tho.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We have two new machines that are moving a fair amount of traffic. Each is doing about 50GB/day in transfers or about 30 request/s under a modified Apache 1.1.1 under FreeBSD 2.1.5 and 2.2-SNAP-08-01-96 One representative machine is configured with 512MB of RAM and a P6-200 processor. It has plenty of MBUF clusters free [is only using about 5660 of 8192] and has 11805 Kbytes (51%) allocated to the network at a low period. One had been running for about 3 weeks and the other only a few days, yet both are disapearing from the net every so often. They return with a simple ifconfig vx0 up [even though the port is never listed as down]. When trying to ping from these machines in the "down" state, they report that "no buffer space is available" which could be a result of the port being considered "down". One is using an Intel Etherpower 10/100Mbit PCI and other [as above is using a 3Com-3C595TX PCI]. We have not seen this problem since 2.0.5-SNAP-02-02-95, so the problem may have a different cause but the same symptom? We have other machines running 2.1.5 with about 4M hits/day that have not shown this problem [yet]. Any ideas?

Well, there's a bunch of different ways to solve this... (I'm sure you'll get as many different types of solutions as you get replies!) First, email: You'll need to run something to control email - that could be sendmail, or you could use a simpler emailer like smail or qmail. If you want to leave all the mail on the "server" box, you'll have to provide some way for the two "client" boxes to retrieve it. That can be done by running popper on the server and setting up the two clients to use popmail to retrieve the mail. You should set up accounts for all users on the server box so that mail can be stored for them. Another way to provide mail to the client computers is to use NFS to "export" the mail directory on the server so that the two clients can mount that directory. That way, it looks like the mail is stored directly on the client boxes. Then you wouldn't have to run popper. Yet another way is to run sendmail on all three boxes, but that seems like a little overkill in your case... Second, www: If you are just doing some simple html pages, I'd suggest using Plexus, which is a web server written in Perl. If you want to do involved web stuff, with cgi programs and all that, you should run Apache... >seems like someone said inetd can do this ... Hmm... inetd can do what? Inetd is a "dispatcher" - that is, it answers incoming network connections and determines what protocol is wanted and what program can provide that protocol. You can indeed set inetd up to take care of both email and www, but that is usually too slow... Sendmail and apache both run as daemons, which means they run all the time and answer email and www requests without getting inetd involved. (Much faster that way.) Actually, popper is usually set up in inetd, because it doesn't need to run all the time and if you run the tcp_wrapper program, you can control access to popper. (You usually want to allow anyone to send you mail, but not just anyone should be able to retrieve it - the combination of tcp_wrapper and passwd protection should control email retrieval pretty well...) >do i need some crazy emaild daemon, or is sendmail good enough?

All the machines should be able to send mail between themselves with the default configuration. It's reading mail from server on the clients w/o telnetting to server. You'll have to run either popper/pop3d for POP mail or (since you're using pine) imapd.

Mail issue. Each machine should have a unique identifying name, and of course a unique IP (internet address) number. The machine you with to act as your "email server" should be running sendmail (see your /etc/sysconf file). You client machines _don't_ have to run sendmail, but it shouldn't hurt if you want to. Somehow each machine on the network needs to be able to translate the "names" you have given them (like fred, albert, and sammy) into the IP addresses. You can do this by having each with static entries in /etc/hosts (on all the machines), or by setting up a basic DNS server on your main server. The DNS server idea has its advantages, but might be something you can try later on. WebServer issue. The machine you with to have "serving" your web pages should be running some sort of web-server. Popular web servers include apache or cern's httpd. You can find both of these servers in the "ports" collection. See the FreeBSD handbook for more information on ports and packages. See the documentation that comes with either the cern or apache servers for configuring them. Problems you might have... Some programs get a bit shitty when they can't do DNS lookups (thats domain name service) from a DNS server, and they don't like using the /etc/hosts file .. There's a nice "HOWTO" put together by the linux people on setting up a nameserver, or the book "DNS and Bind" from O'R. is the definative reference.

I'll grant you that there is a substantial learning curve with Harvest but it's hardly a mess, and it works great once you have it setup properly. Our gatherers have about 500MB of index using Glimpse, so we're ,conservatively, indexing 5GB, probably closer to 10GB. 1-2 second response times on 64M P90.

Should build right off the bat using the netbsd target.

Given the level at which the questions in this and your previous postings have been, it sounds as though, although you're using an OS that costs nothing, you would do well to invest in some basic UNIX books. Or at least read the manual pages. Your second question is a chmod question. Read the man page. Your third question is also in the "it's in the man page" category. Continue to ask questions, certainly. But it doesn't seem like you've expended even the smallest effort to find the answers yourself. Many of them are as close as your keyboard. Try "man man" for starters. -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu Home page: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/people/dubois Software: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 24 18:45:33 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id SAA27035 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 24 Sep 1996 18:45:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wakko.gil.net (wakko.gil.net [207.100.79.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id SAA27014 for ; Tue, 24 Sep 1996 18:45:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (keithl@localhost) by wakko.gil.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA10014; Tue, 24 Sep 1996 21:43:38 -0400 Date: Tue, 24 Sep 1996 21:43:38 -0400 (EDT) From: Keith Leonard To: Michael Nix cc: questions@freefall.freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD 2.1.5 SCSI install.

Of course there will be alot of complaining from loadhigh (LH) but the device drivers will load and you probably can install from the CD. The reason the disk installation worked is that you booted from the floppy and all the DOG doo doo didn't get in the way. by the way - I'm envious, a lot of high powered hardware there!

Yes Please, I've searched the archives for some good examples. I think most of these discussions have gone private before they get to the archives.

So this means that you'll have to convert it to something your upstream provider can deal with using SOCKS or NAT.

I am NOT a programmer so I don't really know how to modify the script at all. The script does work however and will establish my connection if lost until I can get back to the machine and restart my PPP manually. I would LOVE it if the thing didn't eat all of my CPU.

It may be out of range. Assuming that the error message in the subject is accurate, the loader's trying to load the very first sector on the disk (the initial boot sector with the fdisk/slice info). Unfortunately, it seems to be failing (and the code keeps on trying and trying, which is why the error message appears again and again). I don't know why it's doing this, unless the disk is bad (which seems unlikely, as it's possible to boot from wd(1,a)kernel -- maybe the wrong disk is being used?). [ Side note: sector numbers reported by the above error message start with zero, but BIOS sector numbering starts with 1.

I'm not sure of what naming conventions apply, since my /dev/directory (which I did not originally create) doesn't seem to agree with /etc/ttys. /etc/ttys seems to suggest that the sequences starts at ttyp0 - ttypf (15 ptys), and then continues ttyq0 - ttyqf, and so on. /dev/ttyp0 here starts at ttyp0 and continues up to /dev/ttypv, for 32 ptys (which is how many I happen to have enabled). So, assuming that the prefix letter changes for each 32 ptys, then the following script should do what you want (after all, it isn't the names that are important, but the major,minor device numbers - but it'd be nice to know what the correct "FreeBSD convention" is). In the meantime, just make sure that this corresponds to /dev/ttys. #!/bin/sh count=0 sub=0 pfx=p sfx='0123456789abdcefghijklmnopqrstuv' while [ $count -lt 64 ] do if [ $count = 32 ]; then pfx=q sub=32 fi sxx=`echo $sfx | cut -c $(($count - $sub + 1))` dev=/dev/tty${pfx}${sxx} cmd="mknod $dev c 5 $count" if [ ! -c $dev ]; then echo $cmd `$cmd` else echo $cmd "(exists)" fi count=$(($count + 1)) done Hope this helps, David David Nugent, Unique Computing Pty Ltd - Melbourne, Australia Voice +61-3-791-9547 Data/BBS +61-3-792-3507 3:632/348@fidonet davidn@blaze.net.au http://www.blaze.net.au/~davidn From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 25 00:08:24 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA20559 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 25 Sep 1996 00:08:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sdev.blaze.net.au (sdev.blaze.net.au [203.17.53.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA20276 for ; Wed, 25 Sep 1996 00:08:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (davidn@localhost) by sdev.blaze.net.au (8.7.6/8.6.9) with SMTP id RAA07646; Wed, 25 Sep 1996 17:07:34 GMT Date: Wed, 25 Sep 1996 17:07:34 +0000 () From: David Nugent To: Gordon Rios & Jennifer Melvin cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: DOS to UNIX file transfers In-Reply-To: <3248117C.58C3@ricochet.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 24 Sep 1996, Gordon Rios & Jennifer Melvin wrote: >When I use vi to look at a file that I have copied over from DOS, I see >a bunch of ^M characters, but they don't show up when I "cat" a file.

Well, the problem is bigger, because I made a mistake. Of course, it's not resolv.conf, but host.conf. And as I would like to say, I haven't got /compat/linux/etc/host.conf, and my real host.conf has == hosts bind == in it. I would like to use the FBSD's host.conf, and don't like to make new host.conf in the linux compat directory-tree. (Well, host.conf is not so frequently modified by me.) Somewhere I read, that there is an environment variable, or so, with what I can use only one host.conf, the FBSD's. And now, I made /compat/linux/etc/host.conf, but the error message is the same. -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.

What do you think about tar/cpio/pax? with gnutar, (the default tar in FBSD), you have to specify the -M option (if I remember well, it cannot work with compression -z/-Z) - this is a nonstandard method. with cpio, you don't need any special, it can generate multivolume archive with pax, the same is true. cpio's and pax's method is standard in the UNIX-world. -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.

VMS will more or less use whatever you'll tell it to, and will gladly convert to any other format. VMS has literaly dozens of file formats, and only some of them require line terminators at all. For those that do, it is true that CR/LF is the default, but it's easy to write a FDL description file for almost any other terminator, and use CONVERT/FDL to convert the terminators. Anyhow, as someone pointed out, UNIX is the oldest of all the OS's mentioned in this discussion (though the heritage of CR/LF in VMS came from RSX which is about as old as UNIX). > > unixes use LF > > > > why didn't unix choose CR as the standard EOL? > > (at least we'd be left w/only 2 standards) > > what a mess of such a simple stupid thing! > > > > -- > --Chris Christoph P.

Sorry if this questions is FAQed. -We use FreeBSD boxes as inter-campus IP routers. To connect a group of them, 300 mts. apart one from each other, we were provided wireless LAN cards with drivers for: -Windows NT -Win95 -ODI -NDIS -Netware OS drivers -We would like to keep using a single OS for the routers, not enough human resources to diversify. -We don't have the in-house expertise to write FreeBSD drivers for the cards.

Proxy arp is not really like "proxying" as in "web-proxy's" "ftp proxies" or sock's if'ied stuff. The idea behind proxy arp is consider that your "tun0" interface has a IP address. Your "ARP" table has a list of IP address to MAC addresses (used in ethernet). A sample of this might be... pasa: {1} arp -a tierzero.apana.org.au (203.14.158.1) at 0:40:33:36:3d:b7 chuckie.apana.org.au (203.14.158.8) at 0:c0:58:21:f:67 Consider the situation where these three machines are on a class C subnet (ie 255 addresses) and the machine "pasa" has 38 dialup serial connections. A user connects with ppp to "pasa" and is assigned the IP address anywhere between 203.14.158.20 and 203.14.158.60 dynamically.... (lets say it gets 203.14.158.25) Now say a packet arrives at "tierzero" (which connects via some other point-to-point link to another network) destined for 203.14.158.25. Tierzero knows its IP address is on a class C to which 203.14.158.25 belongs... so it can "broadcast" a request to see if it can find some interface on that class C that is 203.14.158.25. The broadcast goes out.. and nothing comes back. But we want the packet to get to the right spot (pasa) so it can be delivered... we can do this by 1) adding a static route to all machines saying "if you want to reach 203.14.158.20 then route the packet to "pasa". this suxs :) 2) add a "proxy arp" entry on pasa so that when a broadcast for 203.14.158.20 goes out pasa screams out "thats me.. send it here". Once the packet arrives at pasa's ethernet interface it can get passed on without any problems... ijppp as a server supports adding these proxy entries automatically, and deleting them when the ppp session terminates... this proxy arp setting would then be visable like such... pasa: {4} arp -a tierzero.apana.org.au (203.14.158.1) at 0:40:33:36:3d:b7 chuckie.apana.org.au (203.14.158.8) at 0:c0:58:21:f:67 async-5.pasa.apana.org.au (203.14.158.25) at 0:40:33:33:c9:37 The thing to note here is that the MAC address 0:40:33:33:c9:37 is actually pasa's ethernet interface MAC address. In this way it is "proxy'ing" arp for the machine at the other end of the ijppp session (ie async-5.pasa.apana.org.au) Hope this helps.

As an exercise to see if I understand manipulation of virtual memory outside the kernel, I am trying to do the following: Execute a program, and have that program manipulate its own virtual memory mapping, so that two 4096-byte pages get swapped. (The idea would be to have a page-aligned 8192-byte array, and initialize it (as a 2048-int array) with the values 0, 1, 2, .. 2047. Then, swap the two virtual pages. Finally loop over the array printing out the values, and have it start out 1024, 1025, .. This would demonstate that the two pages had indeed been swapped.) The way I thought I could do this was to use the mmap function in conjunction with the procfs file /proc/curproc/mem. However, at the moment I can't get this to work. First question: Is what I am trying to do supposed to be possible? (If I understand mmap and /proc/curproc/mem, it should be possible in principle.) Second question: Is there some other means of manipulating virtual memory outside the kernel that I should be using instead of mmap and /proc/curproc/mem? Third question: Why does the program below fail?? ;-) Am I doing something obviously wrong in the following program? I am having some fun playing with mmap. It seems to work well, and is really an interesting concept. However, one thing that I cannot get to work is using mmap in conjunction with /proc/curproc/mem. Here's how I thought I could swap two virtual pages: (let's call the two pages to be swapped A and B): 1) malloc a fairly large chunk of memory, so that I have something to play with 2) open /proc/curproc/mem in order to get a file descriptor that can be used with mmap to manipulate virtual memory. 3) mmap page A into some temporary area of virtual memory. 4) mmap page B into the virtual memory location previously occupied by A. 5) mmap the temporary area into the location previously occupied by B. The problem I am having is that after I mmap /proc/curproc/mem, I cannot access it. I get bus errors. As in intermediate step to the above `swap virtual pages' idea, I tried the following experiment, which didn't work. Would much appreciate any ideas.

Yes, you could create a file that is 8K large and then map the pages in at different addresses. In the first case you'd just map the whole file, write your data to it, and then unmap it. Then map the file again, second page first and first page second. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 25 12:03:26 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA22385 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 25 Sep 1996 12:03:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from itchy.serv.net (itchy.serv.net [199.201.191.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA22356 for ; Wed, 25 Sep 1996 12:03:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from begonia@localhost) by itchy.serv.net (8.7.4/8.6.12) id MAA02662; Wed, 25 Sep 1996 12:03:21 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 25 Sep 1996 12:03:20 -0700 (PDT) From: Sonja Jo Krenz-Bush To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: help! system crashing 2-4 times a day with vinvalbuf - flush failed Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Our server, which had been running fine for the last 7 months started crashing 2-4 times a day this week.

It's almost a sure bet that NFS is the cause, although I don't know precisely what would trigger something like this. NFS doesn't do any vnode locking, so it's easy to imagine how new buffers could get attached during a flush (causing the panic). >Is this something that is fixed in 2.1.5R?

Now I know that its free software and there are no legalities involved as long as I dont go around renaming everything to credit me and make mucho bunzunkos out of it ;) Anyway The mirroring I wish to do is to my local ISP for our local users to download FreeBSD. I _dont_ want to be placed on the list of official mirrors. This mirror site will be in 'Kuwait' yes out of all places. But unfortuanetly our net-link is limited here and users can't just ftp FreeBSD from the US without waiting a few days (I got the cigarette butts to prove it). I do have access to a superfast link which will allow me to do this, and space on the ISP's anon ftp server. So I'm basically asking, can I just setup fetch scripts to start mirroring software and basically not get any official 'ok', or do I need to go through some 'official channels' to mirror the software?

Harvest is a convoluted > mess... are there other search engine options for FreeBSD? I have Excite running on a 2.2-Current and a 2.1.5 machine. Neither of these have 250 meg WWW directories though. Basically what I have found is it just doesn't like the perl binariry shipped with it. Replacing that, and a few other things,has made it work flawlessly for both of my sites. I am concerned about what you say though. One of my web servers probablly has around 150 Megs of stuff on it. If it is going to crap out when more data gets in there, I sure would like to know. What exactly is the problem with the 250 Meg tree? Or is that 250 megs in just one directory? Did you have the install script install the thing? If not, I can fill you in on how I got mine to work with that, it was a pain getting it installed. Is it having troubles making your index with that many megs?

Most POTS lines get digitized at some point, which limits you to 64Kbps, at best, and older telephony equipment will rob every 8th bit (for zero suppression), reducing this to 56Kbps. Assuming that your modem can adapt to any 8bit zero suppresion, and output an arbitrary wave form that could be digitized without loss, converted back to analog, and delivered to the modem, you could sustain 56Kbps. On the other hand, if you can get a copper run, then you can do things like ADSL, which goes quite beyond these limits. For the longest time, I never saw a connection faster than 21Kbs to my ISP, and this was with V.34 modems, and they're even in the same prefix as I am. I still don't consistently see 28.8 connections.

It can be found at: http://www.srv.net/~cmott/alias.html I currently have a FreeBSD box (192.168.0.1) which is connected to the Internet via PPP. When I connect via PPP to my ISP, he assigns me a dynamic IP address. I have a Win95 box (192.168.0.2) connected to the FreeBSD box via ethernet. What Charles's software does is add the ip packet aliasing function to the dial up PPP software that comes with 2.1.5. Once you compile and install it and enable the 'Gateway=YES' in your sysconfig file, any machine that is connected by ethernet to the FreeBSD box can go out onto the internet... I am currently using this setup and works just fine. I am using Win95 browser, ftp, telnet, news and mail clients without any problems whatsoever...No change to your Win95 clients is neccessory. It is completely transparent and was very easy to setup (once I read the documentation provided) Just make sure that your normal PPP dialup works from your FreeBSD box and that your ethernet link works fine between your machines before you make any changes...Less problems to troubleshoot if something goes wrong..

I describe the problem below : would some care to offer some insight! I have a USR sportster 28.8K external FAX modem hooked up to COM2 with Straight thru cable. I have a PPP and a dialup account from the local ISP (Digex). I am running FreeBSD 2.1.5. When I dial in to the ISP using 'tip', the connection goes thru fine, but I am frequently interrupted by moderately long periods of silence where my keystrokes are not echoed onto the screen. These keystrokes seem to be bufferred someplace (TCP??, remote modem??) as they spring back up after a while. I lose characters sometimes, but only very rarely. Since 'tip' seemed to misbehave, I tried configuring 'user PPP' on my machine with my ppp account and password at the same phone number. I get a "Dial OK' and then a 'Login OK', but the 'ppp' prompt never goes capital to 'PPP'. The CD LED on the modem stays lit for about 15 seconds and then goes off, indicating the line has been dropped. Digex assigns IP addresses to PPP clients dynamically. the only thing I have from them is their router IP address (not the server). This complicates the situation somewhat : dynamic configuration doesn't seem to be as well documented as the static one in the FAQ and the handbook. Would somebody know how to get me out of my misery? Does this sound like a modem speed mismatch or ill-configured modem problem? Thanks in advance. --rohit.

Yeah - I basically took the Architext.tar.gz, replaced the perl binary with the /usr/bin/perl4 binary in freebsd, retar'd it, and then installed from there with the supplied script. Worked fine - got all the way through, even the AT-start.cgi and AT-admin.cgi programs worked flawlessly. The program was INSTALLED, but when I went to build from the root directory I got an error. When I indexed from a smaller directory (under 50 megs) it worked fine. > I am concerned about what you say though. One of my web servers probablly > has around 150 Megs of stuff on it.

Well, I have leared that Excite *sucks* - the new version coming out (supposedly) in 2 days is said to fix these problems, but now they have pushed back the date for BSDI binaries for another 2 months. So, I was forced to seek an Excite Alternative. I found one, and in my opinion it's MUCH better (I guarantee anyone fed up with Excite will like this): http://htdig.sdsu.edu/ Which is like Excite in client and server execution, but with more features, more customizable, and you get the *source*, and it's free under the GNU license. It took me 15 minutes to download, install, and configure, and an hour to read/index/merge my 250 meg tree on a Pentium Pro 200mhz machine. If you want to see how my engine was customized and configured: http://www.lycaeum.org/ (search from the middle of the page). I also tried before settling on HtDig: WebGlimpse, swish+glimpse and harvest - all of which are much inferior to HtDig. Give it a try, you'll like it!

I noticed that the problem was worse on hot days. My solution was to keep the modem COOL. I literally had to put a fan next to it, blowing air both over and beneath the case ( I put tall rubber feet underneath it to allow airflow below it ). This, plus cranking up the air conditioning a notch, has eliminated the problem for me. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 25 19:43:20 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA20484 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 25 Sep 1996 19:43:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fyeung5 (netific.vip.best.com [205.149.182.145]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id TAA20436 for ; Wed, 25 Sep 1996 19:43:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fyeung25.netific.com (fyeung25.netific.com [204.238.125.25]) by fyeung5 (8.6.12/8.6.9) with ESMTP id TAA15288 for ; Wed, 25 Sep 1996 19:47:30 -0700 Received: (from fyeung@localhost) by fyeung25.netific.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id TAA13948 for questions@freebsd.org; Wed, 25 Sep 1996 19:48:34 GMT From: francis yeung Message-Id: <199609251948.TAA13948@fyeung25.netific.com> Subject: AMD NE2100 PCI Ethernet support To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 25 Sep 1996 19:48:34 +0000 () X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, Does FreeBSD support AMD NE2100 PCI Ethernet card ?

There are two ways: using fdisk and not using fdisk. You'll want to use fdisk if you plan on using it with DOS. The second type is strictly for FreeBSD (thusly labeled 'dangerously dedicated'). If you want the fdisk type, mail me privately, it's rather long. The short way is: disklabel -Brw sd1 auto disklabel -e sd1 for each filesystem on sd1: newfs -d0 /dev/rsd1x x=filesystem vi /etc/fstab mount appropriately Then you can use dump | restore to copy one disk to the other.

Well even if i did need it, I can't find it anywhere. Sounds like FreeBSD can't find your disk. It _is_ on the first disk in the system and on a primary DOS partition?

Perhaps this is the incorrect forum for this type of question; if it is please let me know where it belongs. I have been given the task of sorting out our internet server at work. We have one P150/32MB EDO/4GB IDE system handling our webserving, email, and DNS. As usage and reliance on this service begins to grow it has become apparent that we should seperate these tasks and delegate them to individual machines. I have some rough ideas of what should be done but would appreciate any input on which tasks should be seperated onto what type of system. Here is a basic run down of what I have though up: Webserver - dedicate the P150 to this task; upgrade to 64MB memory - (continue to increase memory as required); replace ide drives with PCI SCSI controller and drives; case currently has redundant powersupply - I would like to make the scsi system redundent and hot swappable, should I look to ccd or RAID for a solution? DNS - setup 486DX2/66,16MB Ram, IDE drive - no user access to this machine; use it as a spot to temporarily stash mail if the mail server is down Mail - P120, 32MB,SCSI - again redundent drives to maintain reliability Are these specs sufficient? Any handware recomendations? I would like to hear any suggestions or comments! Thank You.

I can't seem to get user PPP going with my ISP, which provides me a dynamic IP. First of all, I wasn't sure, but does the hostname I setup in /etc/sysconfig matter? Obviously, I don't have one, since I have a dynamic IP. Also, the line I have in my /etc/syconfig is: ifconfig_tun0="inet dottow.cnsii.com 206.126.116.129 netmask 0xffffff00" (I set hostname to be my username and my isp's domain) Also, in /etc/hosts, I have: 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.1 dottow.cnsii.com dottow and in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: cns: set phone xxx... set login "..." set timeout 120 set ifaddr 0 0 add 0 0 What am I doing wrong? I can dial into my isp and establish a connection, but I cannot ping, ftp, etc... neither a name that must be resolved by DNS, nor a simple IP address. It says some error about 'Routing'.

I seem to be having some trouble installing it on my pentium. I have 3 IDE disks, wd0 is a 2Gb seagate drive with DOS on. wd1&2 are 400Mb ish drives. I want to put FreeBSD on either or both of these drives. I followed the installation instructions in the book and created the partitions required and installed FreeBSD with the X-User distribution set. I also selected the use of the booteasy boot manager so I could choose DOS or BSD. When I rebooted, it did not ask me which OS to use. I also tried installing Booteasy on wd0 and BSD on wd2 (and later on 1) but at bootup it only let me select DOS. Can I not boot BSD from another drive? Can I get/write a boot manager which will boot from a different drive? If not, is there a program which I can run from DOS which boots the kernel from the other drive, similar to the one on the distribution CD?

If you're about BB1008, the problem, I believe, is in the board design itself -- its connectors are RJ12, which only allow for 6 pins used for TX, RX, CTS, RTS and two grounds. Neither DTR nor DCD just didn't fit, as you see. You may, perhaps, configure your modems to ignore DTR state and use 'stty clocal' to ask system to ignore DCD, but I'm afraid that this may lead you to some other problems. The better solution, I believe, would be to use another board. -- Sincerely yours /&rew *** Andrew V.

Use DOS's fdisk to delete all the paritions your previous FreeBSD installations created (the installation program prefers a clean disk...). 2. Choose to install on wd0 and wd1 (mark them both when you're asked what disks to install on). You may also add wd2 in, if you want anything in it. 3. You'll be first presented with the slices on wd0 (your DOS disk). Don't change anything there. Simply choose "Quit", and you'll be presented with the boot block options. Choose to install the boot manager. 4. You'll be presented with the slices on wd1 (there shouldn't be any). Create the root parition for FreeBSD *here*. Any other partition may go either on wd1 or wd2. 5. When you're asked again about the boot sector (this time it'll mean wd1, though I don't think it'll tell you that :-(, choose either the boot manager, or, even better, a standard boot block. 6. Continue with your installation. 7. When you'll boot from the hard disk, BootEasy will let you choose between DOS and "Second disk (F5)". Choose second disk, and then (if you chose to install the boot manager on wd1 in step 5), choose BSD. The procedure I described above is *known to work* when you have two disks (wd0 and wd1).

The SVEC can't be a clone of an NE2100 if it's being detected as a NE2000, they're totally different cards and use totally different drivers (NE2000 is the ed0 driver).

The first error arrived soon : A Fatal trap 9, but I didn't arrive in time to stop the reset because it arrived when the laptop was doing nothing... Infact I was working on one other machine. The reset let the machine started again but after a few moments it stopped again with an error : panic : vrele : negative reference count So I began to think it was a 2.2 sanp problem so I decided to install the 2.1.5, but here arrive the first surprise. The kernel on the disk was not able to find the Cdrom. After a few attempts spent trying some solutions I decide to install from the dos partition... The installation now worked, I made a new kernel and the second surprise arrived after the rebooting ... it found the cdrom (strange things because I only kill some few lines from the GENERIC).

A few months ago I turned to FreeBSD (after having encountered problems with routing and modems under Linux) and it has been working with the ed0 driver since (during startup it claims to be NE2000). I have just installed another operating system without changing the hardware. I do not remeber what kind of chip is on my card. But I am not puzzled by this. Hardware's behaviour can not always be determined. Probably my SVEC is one of the "two-in-one" cards :-) I will contact SVEC gurus on that matter.

Are you sure you didn't also kill some of the "cpu" lines as well? The first time I built a kernel (2.0.5) I only enabled the 486 and had the exact same problem. Try leaving "I386_CPU" in along with your CPU of choice, recompile, and see what happens. Not as efficient, but assuming it works, you can find the sysinsall code and recompile it later. corections welcomed, larry ps. Sorry for the humor in the other post: where is ee?

Probably my SVEC is one of the "two-in-one" cards :-) usually 'two-in-one' cards use the same controller (e.g. NE/WD/SMC), not a totally different one. Some do emulate different cards (common with video cards or SCSI controller) but the additional complexity requires a good payoff in terms of volume (Video cards, where additional performance motivate extensions to the VGA chipset, yet backward compatibility reasons force to emulate VGA/EGA/CGA) or relatively high margins on each card (SCSI controllers, where also often a microcontroller handles the protocol with the host, and emulation is not that expensive). I do not see these two motivations in building a lnc&ed network card.

Both those differences between DOS and UNIX stem from DOS's roots in CP/M. Gates had nothing to do with that. CP/M used the CR/LF convention, and the / for switches to commands. It didn't use the \ for anything because it didn't have a directory structure. DOS 1.x didn't have a directory structure either (it had just a single root directory - would you believe that???) and used the / for command switches, just like CP/M. When MS moved to 2.0, and added hierarchial directories, the / was already taken, so they used the \. I guess that Digital Research (who developed CP/M) are to blame for those two bits. Gates only copied from them (as he usually does).

[ Note, I work for HP (but NOT on the 4020i), so take this posting accordingly. ] The 2.1.5R release supposedly does support the 4020i, if a patch (from Joerg Wunsch) is applied. I've got a copy of the patch, if anyone is interested, although I have not tested it. The 4020i has been supported in -current for quite some time, and I know that it's worked at least since 2.2-snap-960612, as that's what I'm (still) using to burn CDROMs using a 4020i. I assume that it still works in 2.2-snap-960801, but I haven't tested it. -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

I can dial into my isp and establish a connection, Login manually and after being connected type: show ipcp this will list 2 addresses, yours and the gateway... as far as i can tell the gateway usually ends in a 255. The problem is that your add statement needs to have the gateway lasted or the connection doesn't know who to communicate with the outside world. e.g. my add statement looks like this: add 0 0 128.205.222.255 of course you need to add the IP of _YOUR_ gateway. -Christopher Michaels Student Consultant:645-3542 *************************************************************************** * E-Mail: cjm2@acsu.buffalo.edu * * Homepage: http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~cjm2 * *************************************************************************** From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 26 09:07:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA06377 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 26 Sep 1996 09:07:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from agora.rdrop.com (root@agora.rdrop.com [199.2.210.241]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA06270 for ; Thu, 26 Sep 1996 09:07:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from autarch.acsu.buffalo.edu by agora.rdrop.com with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #17) id m0v6Iy5-000921C; Thu, 26 Sep 96 09:07 PDT Received: from localhost (cjm2@localhost) by autarch.acsu.buffalo.edu (8.7.4/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA02913; Thu, 26 Sep 1996 11:56:58 -0400 (EDT) Date: Thu, 26 Sep 1996 11:56:57 -0400 (EDT) From: "Christopher J.

I have two possible connections to the world. 1) Through work. I have an allocated IP address and host name, and domain name 2) Recreational ISP that allocates a dynamic IP at hook up. Obviously a different domain name. I am not sure where the host and domain names are taken from. sysconfig has: hostname="xxxx.sso.wdl.lmco.com" resolv.conf has: domain sso.wdl.lmco.com But when in recreational mode I want to change the domain name to the ISP's domain and possibly set my hostname to what his DNS says I am. Is it possible to us some command to change that domain name. I think I can get the host name changed, but can't find a similar command for the domain.

The boot floppy boots and I can use the -c option to unconfigure certain device probes, but after booting into sysinstall the keyboard becomes completely useless.

The best chances you have are to configure the CD as the slave on the master controller (with your "C" drive), and move the second hard disk to the second controller. The CD should be recognized then. You may still want to have the root partition on the first disk, or else you'll have to build a custom kernel (while swapping disks temporarily, to get the machine to boot) with the following line in it: config kernel root on wd2 > > I am trying to install FreeBSD on my d: drive. > > What available options do I have for installing on this home > computer with no network connection.

While this may be the cause of recent problems (last week or so), is it representative of most of the other Sprint connectivity problems? "cdrom.com's provider, crl.com, is connected to the internet via a non-approved poor router. The router is hosing causing flapping problems. This is also due to the fact that crl does not properly peer. In other words, crl and therefore crl's customer is not holding up to acceptable use policies. The destination is deliberately blocked when the router flaps so as to prevent flapping throughout the network."

The problem is not local to Sprint - MCI routers are reporting the flapping as well, but are not dampening them out as aggressively as Sprint's are. I'll try to remember to copy some of the flap stats over here the next time it's having problems.

I have Win95 and FreeBSD on my notebook, booting with FreeBSD's bootmgr. I've recently installed Linux; it now boots off a floppy coz I've wary of having LILO overwrite my boot sector stuff. How can I boot Linux off the harddisk with FreeBSD's bootmgr? 2. After installing Linux, I compiled a kernel (2.0.21) with ufs and FreeBSD disklabel support. Tried (once) to mount FreeBSD's filesystems; not successful. I now want to build a BSD kernel (960801-SNAP) with ext2fs, instead. Config is ok, make depend is ok, just "make" dies. I do a "ktrace make", then when I say "kdump", I get "kdump: Cannot allocate memory". Before I had installed Linux, I could and did compile the BSD kernel. (That's when KTRACE got added.) I can still build Linux kernels. I have 8 MB ram, and 32 MB swap. "swapinfo" says 65408 out of 65536 available. My notebook is a TI Extensa 510; 3com pccard ethernet. Unfortunately, I don't have enough space on the notebook to unpack sources to check myself. I'm not on -questions nor -hackers, so I'd appreciate a direct reply.

FreeBSd fails to write during the installation. The kernel probe on boot gets the physicl geometry, but my CMOS is switched to LBA mode and showing the translated geometry; When I boot from the boot floppy, the kernel does it's probing at all the devices, when it finds the disk (wd0) it reports the following geometry; size: 1549 cyl: 3148 hd: 16 spt: 63 b/s: 512 (i.e. The true physicl geometry) But the partition editor (FreeBSD's) reports; cyl: 787 hd: 64 spt: 63 (i.e. The LBA translated geometry) The drive in CMOS is set to LBA mode to bring the cylinders below the dos 1024 limit. I did an autodetect on the drive and came up with the following from CMOS; LBA NORM LARGE ====================================== cyl: 787 3148 1574 hd: 64 16 32 spt: 63 63 63 ====================================== So I guess the kernel probe gets the actual info from the hard drive (NORM), but the dos partition has been setup using the LBA geometry. The FreeBSD handbook says I can't use both. (p.184 para 3) In fact the bsd handbook also suggests that the bsd slice should be in the first 1024 cylinders. (p.185 para 2) My bsd partition is at the end of the disk, not the start. So I definitly have to use the LBA geometry. Unfortunatly the handbook doesn't suggest a remedy. So I guess the question is; How do I get the kernel to look at the LBA translated geometry rather than the physical geometry? Surely there are other people using LBA mode disks out there? Bear in mind that I would prefer not to lose the info in my dos partition. Also the freeBSD partition is at the end of the drive. Also the install does not get all the way through. Where do I go from here?

You should use the following command(s) to generate a proper disklabel. disklabel -Brw /dev/rwd2s1 auto disklabel -e sd1 You should be dropped into vi. Make a 'a' partition in the same format as the 'c' partition; remember the numbers have to add up.

Is there any way to change the geometry on the first disk without a reinstall? And is there any way to get the geometry correct without DOS? While I can reinstall pretty easily, I'd just as soon not if there's any other way to tell the drive about the correct drive geometry. Especially since I'm not sure I have real easy access to DOS.

It is not much. Commercial offer is also very cheap - competitive upgrade (if you get rid of FreeBSD or Linux) costs about $190. The "base server unlimited user comp. upg." is shiped for about $400. I tested GNU compiler which in many cases worked better than Sunsoft's ProCompiler (compiling and !! linking Oracle Pro*C code). I can imagine situations that you are forced to use Solaris - I work with Developer/2000 for example. A question - have you used the real time scheduling on Solaris? I tried to but without success ("something not configured" errors). If I am not wrong - this feature was introduced in System V Release 4.0 (AT&T specification) - SunOS 5.5 claims to be so.

Try adding this line to your config file: options DDB # kernel debugger Then do a 'config -g MYKERNEL' and build a new kernel with debugging symbols. Save it as /var/crash/kernel.gdb. After booting, confirm that if you hit CTRL-ALT-ESCAPE, you will drop into the kernel debugger. Don't stay in the debugger: it halts normal system operation. You can get out again with the 'c' command. Also, create a directory /var/crash if it doesn't exist, and ensure that you have something like this in your /etc/sysconfig: # Set to the name of the device for kernel crashdumps, or `off' to # disable any statically configured dumpdev, or NO for no change. # The device should normally be one of the swap devices specified # in /etc/fstab. dumpdev=/dev/wd0s1b # Set to YES if you want kernel crashdumps to be saved for debugging savecore=YES Then, when the system hangs, press CTRL-ALT-ESCAPE. No reaction? Then the machine's really hosed, and the probability of a hardware problem becomes higher. Otherwise: 1. Enter 't' (stack trace) and write down the output. Sorry, there's no way to save this output automatically. 2. Enter 'pa' (panic) and let it write its dump and reboot. You may have to press return a couple of times before it writes its dump. 3. After reboot, do: $ cd /var/crash $ ls (look at the names of the files) $ gdb -k kernel.gdb vmcore.0 (vmcore.x is the dump you want to look at) (gdb) bt (do a backtrace) Send me or the list the backtrace and we'll at least be able to point you in the right direction. It's possible that various things can go wrong along the way, enough that I don't want to describe all of them. If they do, again, let me know.

The problem has nothing to do with CRL. It has to do with Sprint's BGP session going down at the CIX (Commercial Internet Exchange). I can only hazard a guess as to why, but one possibility is that Sprint's T1 (yes, *T1*) to the CIX is overloaded. The problem used to be caused by the CIX router being overloaded. This has recently been fixed (a new 7513 was purchased and many of the connections were offloaded to it). Sprint is still connected to the old 7000. In any case, the CIX has absolutely zilch to do with CRL. That person at Sprint also fails to understand that CRL has dozens of high end Cisco routers (not to mention at least 30 Cascade ATM switches) and connects to most of the primary NAPs via DS3 circuits. Sprint refuses to peer with them because CRL doesn't connect to the Chicago NAP (and thus CRL doesn't meet Sprint's '3 primary NAPs, seperated by 1000 miles' requirement). In other words, what Sprint told your ISP was a complete lie. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 27 02:38:45 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id CAA10701 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 27 Sep 1996 02:38:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from iaehv.IAEhv.nl (root@iaehv.IAEhv.nl [194.151.64.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id CAA10656 for ; Fri, 27 Sep 1996 02:38:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from LOCAL (wjw@localhost) by iaehv.IAEhv.nl (8.6.13/1.63); pid 10383 on Fri, 27 Sep 1996 11:38:38 +0200; id LAA10383 efrom: wjw; eto: questions@freebsd.org From: wjw@IAEhv.nl (Willem Jan Withagen) Message-Id: <199609270938.LAA10383@iaehv.IAEhv.nl> Subject: SAMBA and OS/2 To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 27 Sep 1996 11:38:37 +0200 (MET DST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, We're running Samba in the office connected to Win95 and Win 3.11 with great satisfaction.

That's mostly crap on your ISP's part (or maybe Sprint, I'm more inclined to think that). There is no such thing as a non-approved router; it probably means that CRL is not using the same piece of crap Cisco's Sprint uses (and good for them for bucking the trend). As for holding up to acceptable use policies, this is utter nonsense as well, but if you were to try to make sense of what they are saying, Sprint may be the WORST offender with some of their practices. -- Jason T Nelson From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 27 04:59:23 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id EAA02323 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 27 Sep 1996 04:59:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from infase.bemarnet.es (agi@[194.179.67.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id EAA02265 for ; Fri, 27 Sep 1996 04:59:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: by infase.bemarnet.es (8.6.11/5.3) with r id OAA27290 for questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 27 Sep 1996 14:03:03 GMT Received: from TITO by mail.agi.infase.es (8.6.12/5.3) with r id NAA01648 for ; Fri, 27 Sep 1996 13:59:51 GMT Message-Id: <199609271359.NAA01648@mail.agi.infase.es> From: "TITO" To: Subject: KEYMAPS Date: Fri, 27 Sep 1996 13:55:33 +0200 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: 8bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk what can i do for do this ?

It's entirely crap because the CRL routers that connect at MAE-west, MAE-east, PB-NAP, and the CIX SMDS are all Cisco 7500 series routers. What the Sprint person said was just simply an all around lie. Now, if Sprint is complaining because CRL's backbone is made up of Cascade 9000 ATM switches, well all I can say is that Sprint would do well to do the same. I think the Sprint person simply has no grasp whatsover on what CRL is...I think the person assumed that CRL is a regional provider or something instead of the tier one backbone provider that they are. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 27 06:20:21 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA03530 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 27 Sep 1996 06:20:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gold.horizontes.com.br (root@gold.horizontes.com.br [200.238.226.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id GAA03397 for ; Fri, 27 Sep 1996 06:20:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from line002.horizontes.com.br (line002.horizontes.com.br [200.238.226.42]) by gold.horizontes.com.br (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id KAA24117 for ; Fri, 27 Sep 1996 10:12:45 -0300 Date: Fri, 27 Sep 1996 10:12:45 -0300 Message-Id: <199609271312.KAA24117@gold.horizontes.com.br> X-Sender: boo@gold.horizontes.com.br (Unverified) X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: questions@freeBSD.org From: Flavio Genelhu Oliveira Subject: drivers Sender: owner-questions@freeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Is there any plan to develop drivers for Iomega ZIP drive or Table Scanner Genius 2400 DPI/Color?

You'll need to make your own kernel with the following line in the configuration file: config kernel root on wd2 To build it, you'll have to temporarily connect the second drive at another position, and manually mount the filesystems on the correct drive, then build the kernel and move the disk back to its place.

Thanks in advance for any help. mgetty works "straight out of the box" for me. I use /dev/cuaa2 to dial out instead of /dev/ttyd2 though.

The following steps brought it to its current state: 1. New motherboard (was some flukey SiS-chipset no-name board) 2. New SCSI controller (was a noname board, same NCR chipset, but generated scsi bus errors and lousy performance) 3. A realization about quotas: I'd heard somewhere that its a good idea to turn the quota system off (quotaoff) before changing a user's quotas (edquota). I'd been doing this in my adduser script and whenever I added a user the system would crash shortly thereafter. Apparantly some nasty system bug was being triggered. Not toggling the quota system on and off before using edquota got rid of a good portion of my system crashes. #1 and #2 took care of the rest. Anyone have any ideas why this (the quota thing) was happening? A lesson: Insist on quality hardware!! (and note: expensive and/or big-name does not always mean quality) Anyway, I'm a _very_ satisfied FreeBSD user. All you FreeBSD contributors: you do _great_ work!

The two best books that I have seen are both by W. Richard Stevens. The first book I'd suggest is "Unix Network Programming", which will give you all the details of how to use sockets. The second book, "TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2, The Implementation", describes all of the actual networking code in 4.4BSD-Lite. I suspect this second book is what you really want... UNIX Network Programming is published by Prentice Hall. Rich is working on a revision of this book now. The TCP/IP Illustrated series is published by Addison-Wesley.

David, I should have some good news for you shortly regarding the extra DS3 that we are adding in Chicago. There is no flap to MCI that I am aware of. Here is the first few lines of the bgp summary from the actual router. MCI is AS 3561 and was last reset 1 week and 4 days ago. gwmaew>show ip bgp sum Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ Up/Down State 149.20.64.7 4 1280 5640463 94371 68727374 0 0 1w2d 165.113.25.1 4 2041 5650768 1748961 68737617 0 0 3d15 165.113.55.1 4 2041 8451692 1658358 68737617 2 0 6d16 192.203.230.25 4 668 69047 58750 68727374 0 0 4d01 198.32.136.5 4 1740 34603 42899 0 0 0 5w3d Active > 198.32.136.12 4 3561 750994 110712 68727374 0 0 1w4d 198.32.136.13 4 5646 288790 110988 68729941 0 0 2w0d I appreciate your patience in dealing with the "your 7500 is a poor router which isnt approved" line of reasoning that surfaces from time to time when sprint connected networks cant get through. The dampening that sprint has been doing has taken whole sets of customers offline for as little as one bgp transition. They have set the dampening on the cix router peer such that if the connection goes down they will ignore the routes when it comes back up for a couple hours. The problem used to be in the cix router being out of computrons, but that iss no longer the case. The sl-stk5 (or 6?) router is the one that is now out of CPU and it is shutting off customers when it drops bgp due to high CPU load. We have been getting calls from sprint customers who were un-routed for a few hours and were told by sprint that sprint will dampen anywhere there is a problem, presumably on their distribution routers as well. I dont understand why they keep adding parts to their network. It seems clear that they should build a "sprint2" and treat it as a second outside network. Perhaps the cisco BFR "big fast router" will materialize soon and save their day. We have just added a Vienna VA office to upgrade our MAE-E connection to 100 MBPS sonet FDDI with the addition of a second 7500 router out there. We are moving out of the Colo with Cable and Wireless and just down the street from the MAE-E building. We will be on-net with an OC-12 there in the next 2 weeks. Chicago is not far behind; I'll drop you some email when I get the exact date.

I can't seem to compile anything. I've tried kernel compiles - both GENERIC and my own - and get signal 10 and sometimes signal 11 errors. I can restart make and it will pick up where it failed, often continueing on, only to fail again. I managed to get through compileing my kernel once after at least 10 of these restarts. The kernel didn't work - "nobody wants to mount my root" but that may be my fault. There seems to be a minor pattern to the signal failures - often at the same places, but not always. I also tried to compile lynx with the same results. From some of the posts I've read, this seems like a memory and/or hardware timeing problem. The machine has Win95, WFW, OS/2 and NT WS 3.51 and they all work fine, although I primarily use Win95. Configuration is: Ocean Ocetek "Rhino 9" mobo (Triton II) Cyrix P166+ 32M EDO 60ns RAM Adaptec 2940 with Seagate ST32550 SCSI-2 Wide HDD Adaptec 1542 w/ Pioneer CD-ROM and Zip drive 3Com 3C590 PCI NIC I'm not a programmer, so compiling is a new thing to me. I understand it works the machine harder than most other activies and may be bringing out an otherwise minor problem. Any suggestions?

This is usually indicative of two things: 1) Bad memory modules. 2) Possible speed conflict (mixing 70ns and 60ns parts) 2) Bad processor cache modules. If you installed any new RAM recently, replace it. The best thing is to find one manufacturer and use it for all the modules. Also find a good vendor that sells consistently good chips. if you keep getting bad ones from someone, buy them from somewhere else. > From some of the posts I've read, this seems like a memory and/or > hardware timeing problem.

That's right. /dev/rst0 is rewind on close. This means you skip forward one file, close the file and rewind it again. When positioning tapes, always use the no-rewind device (/dev/nrst0 here). You're doing the right thing with your dump script by using /dev/nrst0 for all except the final dump. You'll get more answers if you include a subject line.

So far, the experience has been under-whelming! Several questions have resulted from my failed attempts to get a working installation; at least one that is successful in installing the app's I've requested thru sysinstall. The initial install (CD) failed with the proc filesystem getting filled, and then the remaining app's selected failed to install. However, they remain "installed" as far as pkg_add is concerned, so now that I have a working system I still can't go back and install them. How do I get out of this catch-22? Plus, can someone explain why nearly half of the packages in /All are not really there? Is this a problem for me because my CD is an ATAPI? Whether I try it thru sysinstall or pkg_add about half of them fail! Another annoying problem for me is how do I get bash as my login shell? I've put /usr/local/bin/bash as my shell in /etc/passwd, but it still doesn't come up that way when I login!

The reason for this has to do with the way that the package list was generated (based on the "ports" collection). Not all "ports" were supplied on the CDROM, however, due to export or redistribution restrictions and other problems. > Another annoying problem >for me is how do I get bash as my login shell?

This card, while being compatible with the existing driver, is basically a 7850 Ultra controller on a host adapter. It can process at most 3 SCSI commands simultaneously, as opposed to 16 for the real 2940 adapters (7870 and 7880 based). You need to patch in recognition for the 7861 in sys/i386/scsi/aic7xxx.c and sys/pci/aic7870.c. The author of the aic7xxx driver, Justin Gibbs, is going to be (if he hasn't already) adding this into -current. Don't know about -stable, though it would be easy enough to do. He doesn't subscribe to -questions, so you might want to post a question to -current to see when this is going in. If FreeBSD isn't installed, then you'll have to wait for the next snapshot to get a boot floppy that will recognize the 2940AU.

The ZIP drive is supported. The SCSI version works pretty much out of the box; I think you have to use a DOS filesystem on them for the moment.

It's filesystem structure is not compatible with FAT (ie, the type your OS/2 and Windows95 partitions are). You can use OS/2's Boot Manager to boot your FreeBSD slice though.

On some computers, it can hang randomly, which sounds like what you are getting.

It'll work just fine. Don't forget to install the src/ssys distribution so you can rebuild your kernel. I'm positive of this; I did my original FreeBSD install from floppies.

If you play a CD and the audio doesn't come out, then check your audio connection between the CD and the audio card. Also make sure the CD mixer (using mixer cd) is set to a resonable value.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello; I know that the ATAPI stuff is not yet fully blessed, but .... I am just bringing up a new motherboard, a "FUGU" AMD586/133. It has pci/ide built in and i am trying to get my new diamond(sony) 8x cdrom to come up as the only device on the second controller, wdc1. I added options ATAPI and options "CD9660" to my kernel as well as the entry: controller wcd1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq15 vector wdintr device wcd2 at wcd1 drive 0 This gets me a successful probe of wcd1 but no report back from the cdrom. I would expect that i would get a message back from the kernel probe similar to that of the ide hard drives on wdc0. any pointers would be greatly appreciated! tnx! ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 28 22:51:34 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id WAA08737 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 28 Sep 1996 22:51:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sdev.blaze.net.au (sdev.blaze.net.au [203.17.53.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA08384 for ; Sat, 28 Sep 1996 22:51:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (davidn@localhost) by sdev.blaze.net.au (8.7.6/8.6.9) with SMTP id PAA15295; Sun, 29 Sep 1996 15:46:13 GMT Date: Sun, 29 Sep 1996 15:46:11 +0000 () From: David Nugent To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu cc: AROL MAILLIST , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: About gated.conf In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 28 Sep 1996, Doug White wrote: >On Sat, 28 Sep 1996, AROL MAILLIST wrote: > >> WHere i can download manual about "gated.conf" for FreeBSD ?? > >I don't know if there is any specifically with the system, but there is a >good section in O'Reilly's "TCP/IP Network Administration" book.
