This seems all to be pointing in the same direction. telnet does a reverse lookup of the caller's IP address. If named isn't running correctly, it takes about one minute before it reacts. Are you permanently connected to the net, or do you have dial on demand? Otherwise you might find it better to remove the default route when you take the connection down. That way, named *should* return immediately.

Hmmm. Both your boards are being assigned IRQ 9, which I believe doesn't work under PCI either. I just don't understand how this could happen: I thought the PCI setup code in the BIOS would avoid this. Can you allocate a different IRQ to the second board?

There's no reason to believe that this problem relates to the kernel, so installing another kernel will probably not help much. I'd guess that you have a directory permission problem.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Reinstalling a complete operating system is overkill for just about any problem you might have.

A quick summary of my problem, I start up the ppp program dial up my isp, and get a connection established, then i can d/l about 200-300k of files before the connections is lost, not with the ftp site but the carrier is dropped. Stuff I have tried: Changing every single setting in the configuration screen to every possible thing I could think of. 1. I tried to set the gateway to allocated dynamically (0.0.0.0), and i had a static address (205.252.116.61). Neither made any difference. 2. the DNS server works, because i can resolve the hostname (205.252.116.19) 3. Then the ip address for ppp0: i have tried a. dynamic (0.0.0.0) b. localhost 127.0.0.1 c. another address that i read about in a recent post, and someone was using it to represent their local host (10.0.0.2) ***the last two setrtings (b&c) dropped carrier on connect, as soon as i switched back into packet mode.***** 4. the netmask... i don't know exactly what it does but I called up my isp and they gave me a. 255.255.255.192 (i tried that.. but it only gives me 200k) b. the default 255.255.255.0 (same as above) c. and that one for class c networks like (0xffffff00 or something). That one only gave me 30k. 5. The ifconfig.. I just left this blank, since i did not know what to do here The two people that replied wrote the following: #1: > >Sounds like a typical analog communication problem.

That means if your card is a Sound Blaster 16 PNP, you need to choose the defaults which are usually listed in the manual. That way, you can boot directly into FreeBSD, and everything sounds great. I don't really like the idea of starting Win95 and then starting FreeBSD to listen to music. The defaults for mine were irq 9 for mpu0, so I used that. If your card is PNP, you may be able to set it in the CMOS. If you have one of the newer Award Bioses, you can determine which irqs and dmas are for Legacy ISA or PCI/ISA PNP. ---- || Shoppers Network BEST PRICES, FULLY x86 COMPATIBLE & FAST!!! || PO BOX 16627 Cyrix 686s now available! || San Francisco, CA 94116 Email - info@shoppersnet.com | ------------------------------> WWW - http://www2.shoppersnet.com -------------------------------> WWW - http://www.shoppersnet.com/shopping From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 2 12:56:10 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA12890 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Feb 1997 12:56:10 -0800 (PST) Received: from narcissus.ml.org (root@brosenga.Pitzer.edu [134.173.120.201]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA12879 for ; Sun, 2 Feb 1997 12:56:06 -0800 (PST) Received: (from ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA05404; Sun, 2 Feb 1997 12:55:48 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 2 Feb 1997 12:55:48 -0800 (PST) From: Stranger Bone To: Shawn Ramsey cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ps permission denied?

Did you have this problem before the changes? Did you recently compile a new kernel. If you did, check the on-line handbook. I remember something about if ps doesn't work after installing a new kerne. You might want to include a copy of the info from dmesg, also. This will give the people who would like to help you some info. about your system. -- Burton Sampley Email: bsampley@best.com | home page: http://www.best.com/~bsampley From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 2 14:29:00 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA18512 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Feb 1997 14:29:00 -0800 (PST) Received: from narcissus.ml.org (root@brosenga.Pitzer.edu [134.173.120.201]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA18507 for ; Sun, 2 Feb 1997 14:28:58 -0800 (PST) Received: (from ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA05936; Sun, 2 Feb 1997 14:28:48 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 2 Feb 1997 14:28:47 -0800 (PST) From: Stranger Bone To: Andrew cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: elimating the staircase problem on an HP DeskJet 400 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 Mon, 3 Feb 1997, Andrew wrote: > The control code to send should be in your manual.

The bad news is that there is so option on the printer, and no control code in the manual. The good news is that it supposedly *does* accept PCL level 3, contrary to my earlier post. The reason that isn't necessarily such good news is that the hpif filter, which is in the handbook and was also mailed to me by some kind soul, doesn't work: the staircasing persists. > Andrew > > Ben The views expressed above are not those of the Worker's Compensation Board of Queensland, Australia.

I am assuming someone will email me back with a solution or a suggestion. If this is an incorrect assumption or this is the wrong place for this problem would someone please advise me. I am having a problem with dump/restore. When I do a level 0 dump on the /usr filesystem and then use the interactive option of restore I find some directories are OK but others appear as files. This means I can't go down to the sub-directories and their files. I have read the man pages and the handbook but can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I look forward to hearing from someone as I can't convert any applications to FreeBSD until I am sure I can restore files.

In fact, now that I mention it, ppp client doesn't work either. ppp simplesite, just sits there, ignoring the modem. The Handbook is NO help for pppd. I'm using a Hayes Optima 28.8 on this.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have an IDE controller built in to my IO card. It is one of these starnge arrangments where the mother board is in two bits - one has the processor, RAM etc and the other has all the IO stuff built in (video, sio, lpt, FDD, HDD etc). The board origianlly came with a 386-SX-16 so you get the idea about the sort of age (its an IPEX if thats any help). I now have a 486DX-25 board to add to the IO part. I also have a ISA multi-IO card (new last year but cheap) with a HD controller. Part of my HD is unusable due to bad blocks and so to get enough space for FBSD I need two drives. The question is - is it better (ie faster, take less RAM, whatever) to connect each drive to a seperate controller or (perhaps because of the age of the builtin contorller, is it better to stick them both on the multi IO card which appears to allow two drives to be connected (the motherboard controller only allows one)? Should I just try both and run a benchmark and see what I come up with?

I don't know if this would work, but: 1) Have the perl script save the subject line and compare it with the last subject line it saw. 2) If the two are the same, increment some counter by 1. 3) If the counter reaches 5, notify you and stop autoresponding to messages with that subject until further notice (i.e. reset by hand).

Ie, keep an 8k or 16k or whatever-K cache of email addresses. If the address already exists, don't send to them again. Make sure your initial autoresponse states that fact. An example of this via procmail, is in the procmailex man page. >Any and all suggestions appreciated.

I have several questions. First, what are the advantages of FreeBSD over Linux? Second, what programs whether commercial or shareware or freeware are compatible with FreeBSD? For example, can I run SunOS native programs on FreeBSD? Irix? HP-Ux? Thirdly, does FreeBSD support OpenGL or GL libraries? I would greatly appreciate your help on above questions.

This has the added benefit that you can keep from responding to majordomo mailing lists or such (which really irritates the other list members). Now, this might now work too well if other mailbots don't obey this same rule, but many do. You might need more features to really block some mailbots. ---Scott Halbert Thunder Network Technologies, Inc. > Ben > >The views expressed above are not those of the Worker's Compensation >Board of Queensland, Australia. > > > > From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Feb 2 20:28:36 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA07169 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Feb 1997 20:28:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from nanguo.chalmers.com.au (nanguo.chalmers.com.au [203.1.96.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA07164 for ; Sun, 2 Feb 1997 20:28:29 -0800 (PST) Received: (from robert@localhost) by nanguo.chalmers.com.au (8.7.6/8.7.3) id OAA02823 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 3 Feb 1997 14:29:19 +1000 (EST) From: Robert Chalmers Message-Id: <199702030429.OAA02823@nanguo.chalmers.com.au> Subject: thanks. 443&80 now working.

Each channel has a single 40 pin connector and you can daisy-chain two drives on such a connector, simply by using a flat cable with three connectors on it. Most modern chip sets support two such chennels, for a total maximum of four drives. The two channels are usually called "primary" and "secondary" channel, while the devices on a single channel are called "master" and "slave". The master and slave on a single channel cannot be accessed concurrently. However, the primary and secondary channel are completly separate, and assuming you don't have a buggy chip set (called the CMD640) *can and will* be accessed concurrently. Newer controllers and drives have EIDE features. There are basicaly two of those: 32 bit transfers (you can't get that from an ISA card though), and PIO modes 3 and 4. If your BIOS and drives supports those you can get better performance. Your old controller probably does not have those. I doubt that your drives, or even the new controller (if it`s ISA) supports it either. So: If you have two separate channels you'll probably gain performance by distributing the load between them. If you have an IDE controller with one 40 pin header it can probably control two drives on that. If you want real performance get SCSI.

I finally got around to installing the chio driver that you had mentioned to me about on 2.1.6.1. After replacing the appropriate files (the only unexpected thing was to copy chio.h to /usr/include/sys) I was able to load/eject tapes on my 4mm DAT changer (Archive Python 24889) correctly. I haven't had time to fool with Amanda to use chio yet but I think everything is easy from here. Thanks for all your help! One question: I am not familiar with the terminology used in the man pages (picker, slot, portal, drive). I can load/eject the tape by moving between slot/drive. Can you tell me what are the purposes of picker/portal? PS: I am sending a copy of this to FreeBSD mailing lists because I've seen the same question asked in the archives but no definitive answers.

The instruction simply says that TERM is | about the only command you'll need. How do I delived my ISP's number, modem | speed, etc. etc. and how do I dial? I can't seem to get ANY response from | the TERM mode except, of course, from the ~. , ~p and ~? commands, but they | don't do anything along the lines of dial. | | I also tried playing around with the various other commands, DIAL, | SET (including the phone number, etc. but I still can't get it to work), | SHOW, etc. etc. DIAL seems to be the right idea, only that there doesn't | seem to be enough information for it to proceed.

How do host routes installed via "-interface" differ from routes learned from using default routes? Specifically, I am running this test on 2.1.0-RELEASE and if I try to use the "-interface" option to force traffic for a particular host out through an interface, I cannot seem to ever get replies back. I understand that this is usually used for ppp interfaces, but why won't it work for simple ethernet interfaces as well? Do I need to do something with proxy-arp? In the simplest case, I have a machine connected to a single local ethernet.

Name it binaries and install it on a /bin in the floppy using gzip gzip < binaries > /mnt/bin/binaries. 3) make the /dev directory on the floppy (cd floppy, sh /dev/MAKEDEV all). 4) build a small kernel with gzip binaries, pppd slip. and install it on the floppy. 5) create links for the binaries (ln -s binary cp; ln -s binary sh....) 6) copy the /sbin/init to the /mnt/sbin 7) create a etc/rc in the floppy... This is the startup file the system will use. Once booted, the system will execute the /etc/rc file... There you can setup anything you want using the commands in the /bin Hope this will help....

These are 2.1.6.1, SunOS 4.1.3_U1, IRIX 5.3 and HP-UX 9 machines. Apart from the warnings when running make in /var/yp concerning the duplicate entries in /etc/services, the 2.1.6.1 machine complains about errors when transferring the services maps. The SunOS machine didn't even start to transfer the maps when running ypinit -s master-server. I have edited the Makefile (NOPUSH and UNSECURE, etc.). I have also changed the rules for building the services maps which otherwise breaks when processing the ddp entries for netatalk. When running an SGI with IRIX 5.3 as master everything works as expected. Is there a good manual how to get things running, or has somebody already managed to run NIS with one or more slave servers of the types mentioned above?

When you I get to the part where you use - to switch to VTY3 you should get a prompt like the following: ppp ON hostname> hostname being the name you put in for your machine's name during the IP setup part. ppp ON hostname>set device /dev/cuaa1 ppp ON hostname>set speed 57600 ppp ON hostname>set parity none ppp ON hostname>set timeout 1200 ppp ON hostname>accept chap ppp ON hostname>disable pap ppp ON hostname>set authname username ppp ON hostname>set authkey password ppp ON hostname>set openmode active ppp ON hostname>set ifaddr 0 0 ppp ON hostname>term atdt210000 explanation: set device /dev/cuaa1 , this sets what port your modem is connected to. cuaa0 for com1 and cuaa1 for com2. There's a bug on the install disk, no matter which port you choose it'll try and use com1. set timeout 1200 , this is the time for it to disconnect with no activity. (When everything's up and running!) accept chap, disable pap , find out if your isp uses chap or pap. Disable one and accept the other. set authname username , put in your username set authkey password , your password set openmode active , dunno but I need to use it set ifaddr 0 0 sets your ip address and his address according to what he tells you. (My ISP uses dynamic IP address allocation) then term to connect to your modem and dial your number. If you don't get any response, like you type and it doesn't come back to you, it means that you aren't talking you your modem, wrong com port, modem hung/off, cable fallen out etc... with my isp i then get connected to his Annex, i have to login and select telnet, slip or ppp, i choose ppp and it switches to "packet mode" and I get put back to the ppp ON hostname> prompt. You'll know if it works properly because the ppp will change to PPP, if it doesn't work the modem will disconnect. Let me know how you go with this and if you've got any questions you should subscribe to the mailing list. see http://www.freebsd.org under support for how to subscribe. You can ask me of course but I'd advise joining the mailing list for BETTER support. Hope this helps.

That worked. Here is my idea of how the problem occured as I agree that the cause is important to id. 1. I recompiled the kernel with a couple of options that may have been buggy. I think it was one or both of these combined. pseudo-device snp0 pseudo-device vn #vnode filesystem driver Anyway, when I compiled it modified permissions on six directories (I know I couldn't have done that myself without knowing it). Then by running you magic commands, it check them and switched them back. Anyway, now it appears to work. My kernel has currenlt vn active and snp0 deactivated and it appears to work. But, I haven't recompiled the kernel since I did the mtree. But, I have a fix for the problem so I can experiment with it and find the problem now :-) Thanks a lot everyone that helped me out.

I'll build a new kernel and give that a try. Reminder: sc0 disabled I disabled the getty on ttyv0 and the syslog problem went away. This same config worked fine under 2.1.0 (and maybe 2.1.5) and was nice since I could boot with -c and re-enable sc0 if I needed to fix something in single user. -c doesn't seem to work if sc0 is disabled in 2.2-BETA_A Now I can see why you might not be able to use -c with sc0 disabled, but it sure was nice in 2.1.x Anyway, now I'm trying to figure out serial consoles.

I never did find anything similar to dumpbin with Watcom, but I have now switched to MSVC anyway, dumpbin did show that only DllMain was being exported. Anyway my problem is: I am trying to make a namespace extension, so far it is basically the same as the Cabview sample from Microsoft with much stuff removed. My first problem was that when CreateViewWindow was called all would go well until I tried to create the Dialog, CreateDialog) would just return a HWND of 0 and I would get a message from explorer that there was not enough storage to continue.

Hmm, not sure exactly what you mean, but I assume you're referring to the apache 1.2 server-status module. If so, then put this into httpd.conf: ScoreBoardFile /var/run/apache_status And in your access.conf, put: SetHandler server-status order deny,allow deny from all allow from .your.domain.only (modify .your.domain.only to whatever it should be).

I hope what I tell you helps, but I have not tried it yet (although I've done several successful installs from a DOS partition). Page 29 (this book was actually written for 2.1.5) says that an IDE, or ADAPI, should be configured as a slave device. Also, be sure to use the adapi.flp instead of the regular boot.flp. Page 43 also says you can do this: assuming your cd is R:, and you're in DOS c:\> R: r:\> cd \ r:\> inst_ide As a last resort I believe you can copy the disk to a DOS partition and install from there- DOS partition installs seem pretty reliable. I hope this works, but please keep your eye out for further messages, as someone who has been through this may well tell us that I'm completely wrong.

In the meanwhile, earlier BusLogic models, most Adaptec, and NCR/Symbios based cards (NCR/Symbios sample boards, ASUS SC-200, Tekram (??)) are all supported very nicely I might add. (To plug the NCRs: They can be had for ~$100-120 and perform just as well as the Adaptecs. I have one in my box driving 2 quad speed CDROMs and it works like a champ. The driver in 2.2-BETA crashes for some reason, but backing it up to the -ALPHA level works fine.)

Can you connect it to some specific access? httpd shouldn't ever have floating point exceptions. What was the last access given in your access_log for each crash? You might try upgrading apache just in case.

Does the transfer appear to stop after that time, and perhaps wait for more than 5 minutes? If the xfer gets delayed then ppp may cut you off. Try executing 'set timeout 0' before 'term' and see if that helps.

Have you actually tried just exporting / -alldirs and seeing if everything below it is available? This is the (butchered) quote from the exports(5) manpage regarding -alldirs: The second is to specify the pathname of the root of the filesys- tem followed by the -alldirs flag; this form allows the host(s) to mount at any point within the filesystem, including regular files if the ``-r'' option is used on mountd. The pathnames must not have any symbolic links in them and should not have any "." or ".." components. Mount points for a filesystem may appear on multiple lines each with different sets of hosts and export options. Hope this helps. I wish I knew more about NFS mounting; perhaps another can fill in the intimiate details.

You can perform the upgrade via FTP, yes. The best place to get basic /var stuff would be from the Live Filesystem CDROM (easy), or try to extract it from the bin distribution (hard!). Is there acutally any files in /var that are needed for the system to run properly? The worst thing is that the heirarchy is gone, but you can use mtree(8) with the -U option to resurrect it, assuming /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist exists still. mtree -f /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist -p /var -U should do it. > Any help would be appreciated.

How can I set up my machine to allow dial up access? I have only one modem, but would like to be able to dial into it. I found reference in the archives to setting modem S0 register to 1, and a couple of other things that I didn't understand. It's obvious that I'm completely clueless. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where to find out the basics of modems etc.? I really don't want to waste anyone's time by having them give me a well-written, detailed explanation that I don't even understand.

What you should probably do is conect the CDROM as the slave on the primary controller (i.e. swap places with the second hard disk). This might give you some trouble with what you've already installed, so you may want to reinstall anyhow. Once you get the system installed you'll have to give: 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt for it to boot correctly off the second disk (otherwise it will give you "panic: cannot mount root"). Once you have the system up and running, rebuild a kernel, making sure you have the following lines in the configuration file: config kernel root on wd2 # This is to indicate that it should boot off the # second disk. options ATAPI device wcd0 (the last two lines are to enable ATAPI CDROM support). You'll also have to make the CD device node (as root): # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV wcd0 > > I hope I've provided sufficient information. I'm still trying to figure > out what's up here.

However, it is a good idea to have a DOS partition on a disk you're going to install FreeBSD onto, and delete it while installing, replacing it with a FreeBSD partition. It seems that the installation program, like any good hacker, is especially good in learning by example (a.k.a. cut-and-paste), so sometimes it finds it easiers to figure out how to cerate a FreeBSD partition if there is already a DOS partition on the disk. You *can* install FreeBSD on the seconds disk and use the boot manager to boot it or dos/windows95. Note that the installation program has a tendency to install the boot manager on the wrong disk, so you might have to install it manually by running \tools\bootinst.exe from DOS (won't work from Win95).

The AC Adapters that came with both of them only operate at 120 volts although I can buy an international AC adapter from each company for around $50.

Let's assume I have /var/spool/pcnfs /var/spool/pcnfs/host0 /var/spool/pcnfs/host1 /var/spool/pcnfs/host2 /var/spool/pcnfs/host3 /var/spool/pcnfs/host4 and I have an /etc/exports conatining /var/spool/pcnfs I can do a mount server:/var/spool/pcnfs /anywhere and access all directories. What I want to do is mount server:/var/spool/pcnfs/hostx /anywhere without changing /etc/exports. The reason is, that if I attach a new PC to our network, a new directory named /var/spool/pcnfs/name_of_new_pc is created automtically by pcnfsd. Then I would like to export this directory automatically without changing /etc/exports. At the moment, I have patches mountd.c to do this (same behaviour as Linux, IRIX 5.3, Solaris and HP-UX 9), but I wonder if there isn't a "legal" way to do this.

This may have been going on longer than I am aware however, I have checked from 3-5.88.0 - 3-5.89.2, and they all give me the same problem. It appears that on my system, there are two symbols that are undefined in the file ntp_loopfilter.c, lines 330 and 335: STA_FLL and STA_FREQHOLD. Near as I can tell, these things are supposed to be defined in my system's timex.h file? From my understanding, XNTPD needs a framework in the kernel to work correct? How do I go about updating my kernel sources with the latest XNTPD kernel stuff. Or better yet, get it fixed with the FreeBSD project? There is a timex.h file that comes with the XNTP distribution, and if I edit ntp_loopfilter.c to include that instead, everything builds fine, and xntpd runs fine, but when I try to use ntpq with the pe command I get nothing. My "make" output is attached.

It has been in -current from December 31 and nobody has complained yet. Three files are effected sys/sys/timex.h, sys/kern/kern_ntptime.c and sys/kern/kern_clock.c. If somebody from the 2.2 release team give the go-ahead I would be happy to put it in 2.2.

H. Auden I don't know about specific moedls, but here we often use converters to test equipment that is to be exported to the U.S. It works just fine. Never used a surge protector either, but I don't know how stable electricity is in China. However, note that these converters - especially if you need a lot of power are *heavy*, so for travel it may be wiser to go for the international adapters.

I had also planned to run FreeBSD on it using an old 120MB hard drive I happened to have lying around. This was mostly just to have a second FreeBSD machine, and to be able to use the 120MB drive for something. I booted the 2.1-RELEASE floppy and got it to the point where the installation menu came up, so I thought I was all set with FreeBSD, just put in a CD-ROM drive and it's all set. I then found that my BIOS would not support drives larger than 528MB, so I bought a SIIG EIDE Master ISA+I/O card, which has an on-board enhanced auto-detecting disk BIOS as well as 2 IDE interfaces, for 4 drives, 2 buffered serial ports, an enhanced parellel port and a game port. Kind of everything you need to upgrade all on one board using one slot. This cured all my DOS/Windows 95 problems. The problem is, that after installing this board, the FreeBSD boot floppy no longer boots! It reads something from the floppy then just sits there. I never get the "Boot:" prompt. Any ideas what's going on here? Do you know of a workaround? Is there some program I can run under DOS to do the equivalent of booting from the floppy (I assume its just a matter of reading the right amount of data from the floppy to the right memory location and then jumping there). If you do have a clue as to what's happening, would a boot from a hard drive work? I could just do the install on another machine and then move the drive. Any help would be appreciated. -- William A.

We are an Internet based advertising and marketing company that specializes in web site promotion and direct email advertising. We have been in business for three years and have a subscriber database of over 500,000 people, (growing daily) that receive our weekly email advertisements from clients like yourself. If you are marketing a product or service on the internet or through an online service or have a web site, you will definitely be interested in what we have to offer. NOW YOU CAN ADVERTISE AND GET DRAMATICALLY MORE RESPONSES THAN ADVERTISING ON NATIONAL TELEVISION! With E-mail your potential customer will read at least the headline of your letter, unlike TV, magazines, newspaper ads, and direct mail where more than 99.99% of the recipients will skip right over your advertisement. Westside Marketing Group is able to send and process tens of thousands of e-mail messages every hour! We will help you prepare your special advertising package for distribution to internet patrons so that you can get your message directly into their mailboxes. Distribute notices, sales, discounts, new opportunities that you want to get before potential purchasers. Conservative estimates indicate well over 100 MILLION people will have E-mail accounts in the next year! Westside Marketing Group turns your computer into a cash register by giving you immediate access to our subscriber database. Do you think some of the more than 500,000 people with E-mail addresses would be interested in your products or services? MUCH MORE PROFITABLE Due to the fact that your customers will read your E-mail subject line, the response rate potential is greatly increased and people are getting dramatic response rates of 2% to 4% on bulk E-mail. Response rates depend almost entirely on how well your marketing letter or ad is written. MUCH FASTER With bulk E-mail you get responses back in 1 to 4 days instead of waiting weeks or months like with television or print advertising. You can begin filling orders the same day you send E-mail. ADVERTISING WORTH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS It costs thousands of dollars to mail out thousands of letters using the United States Postal Service! Now you can send your ad to our 500,000 subscriber database of people for only $49.95!! TURN YOUR COMPUTER INTO A CASH REGISTER Our clients offer just about everything you can imagine to our subscribers.

This eliminates the problem of sending unsolicited mail and having your marketing materials treated like junk. A Web site alone, posting through newsgroups and registering with a few search engines while placing a few classifieds just won't work. What good is a Web page no one knows is there? Bulk e-mailing is the lowest-cost method of generating qualified sales leads.

No questions asked!! Bulk Email Is the Only Way To Advertise On-Line! Let us increase YOUR profits! With over 50 million Internet users, you simply can not afford not to advertise on-line. And, no internet marketing plan is complete without Bulk Email. Unfortunately, Bulk Email is very rarely used to it's fullest potential. We can help your business be one of the many future success stories with our high quality lists and proven marketing techniques. Placing ads in classified sites and newsgroups simply will not bring you the results you're looking for. The reason is that your ad is competing with hundreds, sometimes thousands of other postings. If another posting grabs the readers attention, they may never return to read your ad. Statistics on how many visitors these sites receieve on the daily basis are also very misleading. Just because a site that you advertise on receives 2000 "hits" a day, does'nt necessarily mean that your ad will be seen by ALL of those 2000 visitors. Once again, your ad stands little chance to be seen in the midst of all the others. Many on-line entrepreneurs have realized that bulk email is the only way to increase your exposure.

Obviously you must have the SCSI version of the Zip for this to even get close to working properly. 1. Search the mail archives and get the disktab details for the zip. 2. Fdisk/disklabel/newfs a Zip disk. 3. (?) Boot the boot floppy and do an install to that disk, mounting your FSs instead of newfsing them. Let us know the results, and good luck.

What do I assign the other computers on the network? Do I just make up some IP addresses or ??? *g* I guess I would make up a set of IP addresses for the internal network and then point all of the other systems to the FBSD system for the router.

I built a new kernel with sio0 included and installed it. vi /etc/ttys and turn on ttyd0 with std.9600 reboot with -c ( not -h ) and disable sc0 The system booted up with messsages coming across the laptop I had plugged into the serial port :) Man, this was easy, I don't even have COMCONSOLE as an option in the kernel. Disabling sc0 appears to automatically kick it into serial console mode. I was going to make sure the serial port was working before I stuck option COMCONSOLE in the kernel config file but it looks like I don't need to. Looking at the Makefile in boots/biosboot I see that COMCONSOLE is unconditionally defined so it may be an obsolete option. Anyway, I take back my earlier statement that using -c to toggle a VGA card off and on was cool. A serial console is much cooler.

Z-mail is now owned by Netmanage. They only took over 3 people from Z-code. I tried to get in touch with them regarding a source license. No answer. Netmanage is "further devloping" the Unix versions, but on a lower number of platforms. I haven't seen anything about this yet. There was no BSD/OS or FreeBSD port, as Z-Code got to Netmanage, and I doubt they have done one so far. I personaly have a port, but this is not official. And as I never got any answer back from them about a source license.....

RFC 1323 extension data streams have SYN packets with data in them, at the connection setup. Annex OS v 9.x throws a fit when it sees a TCP packet with SYN set and actual data. Traditional TCP connections are setup using SYN/SYN-ACK packets with no data payload. Does SCO support RFC 1323 TCP extensions?

It appears that on HPs, Dells, Eclipse machines, and a handful of others, the Cyclades driver causes a RAM parity error, causing the kernel to panic, and the system to reboot. I've sen this on at least a half dozen systems. And I've found about two that work. Has anyone seen this? Worked around it? I'm kind of at a crunch to get some multi-port serial cards working, and I could use all the help I can get. The machines are HP 586/133s and 166s. The dells are Dell 586/100s. The only machine I've see it work in for any length of time was a AMD clone 586/100. I don't think its a RAM parity error, simply because a half-dozen machines with EDO Ram can't all be wrong (or i'd see it elsewhere), and the DOS drivers tend to get the card up and working on multiple ports with no problems.

I submitted patches to mail.local quite some time ago -- I believe they made it into the 2.2 tree at that time. One note you should only run quota's on one filesystem on your system or problems may arise (or so the common rumor seems to be).

I was unable to find reference to the multiple file-system problems you're referring to on a search of the freebsd-fs list, or questions (although I admit to not having looked hard on questions :).. Could you expound on that a little? I saw reference to not running it on the root file system (makes sense), but I have user home directories spread over several -- /home, /homea, /homeb, /homec, /homed -- which vary by utility and hard disk/controller in question.. It would be nice to be able to apply quota's to all. On a seperate note, I did have (and do have) them running on all my home partitions (although not on /var, /usr, or /.) Thanks for your response -- when 2.2 is released, I'll quota /var/mail/ then, assuming a clear answer on the safety of quota use on all partitions becomes available.

When I first installed bsd, I made the mistake of trying to mount the 95 partition read/write, and got the "root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length" msg and trashed the entire partition :-(. Henceforth I've been tentative at mounting at eagain, even read-only, since I also had an experience with a port of unarj (possibly not a 2.1.0 port, which might have been the problem) trashing large parts of my /usr partition when I tried to unarj a file I copied from my read-only msdos drive. Thankfully I was able to recover from this without too much hassle, but I'd rather not go through it again. Was this likely to be related to a buggy mount, unarj, or something else? Incidentally, my win95/freebsd drive was partitioned with FIPS, which may have been the cause of the problem. It's also a fairly large partition, 1GB+, I think. From what I gather, both of these things are relevant. Now, I gather that it's possible to reorganize things to allow me to mount it writable under certain configurations. Is this the case, and if so, exactly how should I go about this? I've just bought another 2.5GB IDE HD which I'm planning on also splitting win95/bsd. Before I do this, how should I set it up so as to maximise performance and preferably allow me to mount the win95 partition(s) read/write. I'm thiniing of keeping 300MB or so for bsd and keeping the rest for win95. Your replies would be most appreciated! Kris || ,-./\ Kris Kennaway || "Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead.

In general I think it's good to have /usr on one hard drive and swap on another, so you can access both concurrently.

There are many companys that I consulted at in Chicago that use Zmail as their corporate standard. Motorola just loves Zmail. At most of these companys when ever I would bring up the subject of FreeBSD the management would always ask if Zmail runs on it. Just my $0.02.

If you install FreeBSD last, it will install the BootEasy boot manager, which will identify and allow you to boot all three OS's. If you install NT last, you'll simply need to re-install BootEasy from the FreeBSD cdrom after you've installed NT.

You can also install NT last and use the NT boot loader to load FreeBSD, instead of the FreeBSD booteasy boot manager.

It was driving callers crazy, but since most of them were using login scripts, all they knew was that things were failing somehow. I did a "ps" and discovered that the getty process for the port was stuck waiting for disk access. (There was a capital "D" in the status field.)

Is it a sign of a bug -- perhaps a problem with a weird received character or an overflowing input buffer? (It's a dumb serial port with a 16550, so it uses the standard sio driver.)

Their web page is http://www.cdrom.com (powered by FreeBSD, of course :). I happen to have the URL of the order form handy: http://www.cdrom.com/orderfrm.html. I believe it costs $40, $50 with a copy of Greg Lehey's book _The Complete FreeBSD_. I recommend getting the book if you've never installed FreeBSD before, it was very helpful to me and I've heard good reviews from others too. The current version shipping is 2.1.6.1; this release is very stable and mature and is good for machines that must be up without fail; however, version 2.2 should be on CD-ROM in about a month. 2.2 is newer and somewhat less well-tested; however, from what I've heard I would not call it unstable, and it's faster and has some nice new features. So depending on what you want to use FreeBSD for, you may want to wait a month and order then. > silex@perfekt.net > Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."

Two simple steps: 1) Format your mail messages to stay within 79 columns, preferably 72. This makes them much easier to read. 2) Go back to the FTP server where you got XFree86 and get the S3 server package as well. XFree86 3.2 with the S3 server installed easily on my machine here; you shouldn't have any problems once you get all the correct pieces. While you're there, get the README file and make sure you have *everything* you need. lib, etc, and fonts, amongst others, are critical. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

The drive, an IBM DORS 32160 OEM'd for Apple, is on this controller's bus. All bus-type stuff is ok. The problem is that, upon boot, the drive reports itself as a SCSI-I device. The version number of the drive is the same as the one on other people's drives that report as a SCSI-II device. I am getting low performance out of the drive and assume that it is being configured to actually only do SCSI-I because that is what it reports. I did dig through some of the scsi code and noticed a define: SCSI_2_DEF that purported to try to force devices to be SCSI-II at the cost of breaking others. I enabled this, but of course at boot the device is still reporting SCSI-I and I am afraid that the NCR chip is setting up to talk to this device in SCSI-I because of its report at bootup, as my performance has not imporved. Here is my assumption: Apple has changed the firmware on this drive to report SCSI-I. I am assuming the drive can actually be told to do SCSI-II, because totally crippling a perfectly good Ultra SCSI-II device is just too stupid. Can anyone confirm that this may be the problem, that it is fixable, and tell me how? Otherwise I need to send this drive back. I can wade through kernel stuff if I have to, given a few general pointers, if someone can give me a general idea on how to fix this, if possible -- I.E. tell the NCR to talk SCSI-II to the drive no matter what it said on boot. Oh, my NCR SDMS BIOS is v3.0. TIA, Craig.

I have tried all and finally after 7 recompiles of the kernel (I had to figure that it must have been my fault on the sound settings.) I finally got the silly thing playing "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" as I type this. I don't to this moment know what has worked but I settled on the same setting for compile 7 that were in 2,4 and 5 (no need to waste time with particulars) but this time when I ran 'cdplay' I ran the help menu for the umteenth time and typed 'clrdebug' which was a desperate act (why clrdebug would do anything since I hadn't set debug in the first place is beyond me). Typed play 1 17 (number of tracks on the CD) and the damn thing played. Mind you that 'play 1 17' did nothing on the other three compiles that are exact duplicates (run from the same config file). Go figure, again thanks for all the help.

Perhaps getty succeeds in opening a few microseconds after pppd closes /dev/cuaa5. getty sleeps until carrier is present, but no longer, so if the port is shared between a getty and a dialout program like pppd and the dialout program closes the dialout port before carrier drops, then the getty will grab the port. HUPCL on the dialout port and a sufficiently large dtrwait should prevent this from happening if the modem responds to DTR dropping sufficent quickly.

I had copied the dist directory to an msdos partian which I used to do the installation. Worked fine. 3. When trying to install the selected packages, it says that it can not find them from the same ms-dos partian. The files are there but freebsd can seem to find them. 4. So I said to myself I got internet conectivity so I'll try doing the package installs thru ftp. After freebsd logs in to ftp.freebsd.org it says that it can not find the realease-2-1-6 directory. This is using the update menu from /stand/sysinstall. 5. Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong? 6. Can I just extract the application from it gzip format, copy it into a temporary directory in a freebsd partian an run make install? 7. Is there a menuing system for system administration ou there anywhere? Thanks for helping me! Thank God for mail lists! Col. Frank A. Herda, C.M.H.

Everything works fine, except that I noticed Netscape and ncftp2 keep the connection alive even if I am not sending any packets. How do I set ppp filters in order to have these connections close the ppp link when it is idle, ie., when a download is finished, or I have not clicked a web link for some time? I have the timeout period set for 300 seconds, but the connection stays up until 300 seconds after I close the application, ie., ncftp2. I want to have the connection close 300 seconds after a download is finished, without having to close the application, so I don't have to baby-sit the computer to free up my phone line. Also, I noticed these programs establish the link even before I enter an IP request. This is OK, except that Xemacs also does this. I do not want a ppp connection up when I am using xemacs, so how can I filter this behavior out? In advance, I thank everyone who responds to this.

Usually, you copy your old kernel to 'kernel.old', then copy the new one into /. In 2.x, 'make install' from the kernel directory does this for you. I don't know if the older boot blocks support this, but you can type '?' and get a ls of the root directory.

One of the rules of computers is, "You get what you pay for."

The system should be configured, so you should be able to just boot that disk and set up apache manually. If you need to, you can use the boot floppy to boot FreeBSD by typing wd(1,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt. You may wish to install BootEasy to give you a choice between DOS and FreeBSD. To do this, fetch bootinst.exe and boot.bin from the /tools directory from the CD or FTP site, then run bootinst on the DOS disk. Reboot and it should work.

FreeBSD's swap space is located within it's own slice, likewise for Linux. The problem is that one system can't read the other's disklabel, so it can't figure out just where the swap is. This question has been asked before, take a look through the mail archives. > >From what I've seen so far, this doesn't look easy.

I haven't tried this yet, however. A vn swapspace on ext2fs? That might be pushing it since ext2fs support isn't exactly foolproof, and I don't know if vn swap is even supported on non-FFS filesystems.

I managed to get the card recognized as Soundblaster Pro 3.1, but unfortunately only one speaker is working. So after much searching of FreeBSD and Linux resources on the Net, I have concluded that this card is in fact a MediaVision Jazz16. I have looked at sound.doc and sound_config.h in i386/isa/sound and saw a few useful-looking options that I added to my kernel config. One problem I was faced with is that /usr/sbin/config didn't like option JAZZ16, but understood option "JAZZ16". Similarly JAZZ16 was not an acceptable name, but JAZZ was. I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere. Certain defines are missing for the JAZZ16 and the SM_WAVE options. It seems to me that Linux has much newer drivers than FreeBSD, although this is still to be proven. The problem I have is to get a dump out of the sound driver probe. I pretty much followed the handbook on this. I have set config root on wd2 dumps on wd2 in my config file, but no dump occurred (I checked . I did savecore -f in single user mode to try to get anything out of the swap device to no avail. I managed to locate where the page fault occurred based on an earlier post by roberto@eurocontrol.fr: nm /kernel | sort |grep 0xf01948 The panic was reported at EIP=0xf01948a4 which is _initialize_smw in my kernel. I would like to see the actual offending line of code. So my questions are: 1. Is there a way to load the kernel.debug in gdb and correlate addresses with lines of code? (Like on HP-UX w/ xdb: one can use 'td') 2. Why am I not getting a core dump? Would the disk "rattle" a bit to save the kernel core, or is it already on the swap device? Ie. what macroscopic events would tell me that I got a dump? (Possibly: "core dumped" msg on the console :-) 3. I have turned on savecore in /etc/sysconfig, but I have noticed that the swapon gets executed first in /etc/rc before the savecore. Wouldn't this wipe out a core in the swap device? 4. How can one get any description of the I/O registers of a device? 5. Is my only option left is ddb? 6. Is a page fault essentially like a segmentation violation in user mode? AFAIK on i386 you have to install a page fault handler, which is probably what the VM is all about. Is this true? 7. Why is the "dumps on" feature being deprecated? How else can we get a dump if the system crashes before dumpon can be executed? BTW, My swapkernel.c looks like this: #include #include dev_t rootdev = makedev(0, 0x00000010); /* wd2a */ dev_t dumpdev = makedev(0, 0x00000011); /* wd2b */ void setconf() { } Thanks, -- Gabor Kincses (gabor@acm.org) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 6 11:02:12 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA22376 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 11:02:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from isd.state.in.us (mailgate.isd.state.in.us [206.158.11.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA22363 for ; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 11:02:03 -0800 (PST) Received: by mailgate.isd.state.in.us id <53786>; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 13:54:25 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: NEC 282 ATAPI cd-rom problem Date: Thu, 6 Feb 1997 13:59:20 -0500 From: "Kevin T.

I think this would work the same way and accomplish teh same thing, with little different organization. 1. Make helper1 and helper2 with groups helper1 and helper2 (ie, groups the same as their username). Take the default home directory, /usr/home/helper? 2. Make monitor with group monitor and invite monitor into groups helper1 and helper2. Make his home dir /usr/home/monitor 3. chmod go-rwx /usr/home/monitor 4. chmod g+rwx /usr/home/helper1 , chmod g+rwx /usr/home/helper2 If I did this right, monitor will be able to access helper{1 2}'s home directories, but helper{1 2} won't be able to get into monitor's. You can't really restrict people from going up the tree (toward /) without making some really sticky problems with binaries and placement. If you did it your way and stuck a chroot() call somewhere, you could make helper{1 2}'s accounts totally useless unless you put some basic system binaries in /usr/home/helper{1 2}/bin. I hope this helps explain the situation somewhat.

I haven't yet upgraded to 1.5.1; we're running unoff4. netstat -m always has a comfortable number of clusters and also always reports 0 requests delayed or denied. This seems inconsistent :-) A 1.5.1 upgrade is due today; it is a bit complicated by the change to the file layout :-( (this started when we added a feed that tends to open 6 streams at a time; it apparently has to do with thenumber of sockets open at once. INND is indeed behind reading from the streams but since netstat -m always reports lots of free memory I can't figure out where the particular ENOBUF is coming from - there are about a hundred occurences of this error in a quick grep of the kernel source.) Is there a kernel tweak other than the listen count and nmbclusters that may apply here? Both of those have been increased greatly. Also, is active file mmap safe to use in 2.1.5 or do I need to use 'read'? I got burned once (in irix 4.0.5) where the innd config said to use mmap but innd cored a lot until I converted back to read. This isn't happening here but innd is grossly behind, at only 1-2 articles/sec.

I believe only the PCI version works -- and if you get this get the B rev (Pro 100/B). Very, very important. I don't think the ISA version is supported though. the 3c509 works fine with the ep driver; generic NE2000 cards work well too (for ISA).

Yes, but the boot code gets confused in your instance. We've had this problem for a while and I'm not sure what causes it. Someone suggested changing the entry for wd2 to wd1 in the kernel config.

Yes, but repartitioning is a lot of work. And doing this everytime when a similar situation occurs is very time consuming. So I will continue going to use my patched mountd.

I called Walnut Creek CDRom and the sales guy said he hadn't heard of it. I'm obviously concerned that I wasted $39.95 on the discs, so I was trying to get him to agree to send me the update as soon as it comes out. He suggested that I talk to the "FreeBSD guys" about how "official" release 2.1.7 was going to be. He said something to the affect that if FreeBSD.org was releasing 2.1.7 as a CD distribution then they would probably send me a new cd set. If this makes any sense to anybody, what is going to be the status of 2.1.7? How different is it going to be from 2.1.6? If I only have to download /bin I guess that's no big deal, but.....

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk First off, thanks to all in #freebsd who have been helping me with this page-fault thing. I have some more information that may be useful to diagnosing the problems I have been having. In a nutshell, my system encounters a lot of page faults while in kernel mode. They can be made to stop by not using swap at all, but that isn't really such a great solution. My most recent trace from the debugger reveals this: (I've reversed the order so it's chronological) Xsyscall at _Xsyscall+0x35 _syscall(27,27,5,efbf75d,efbfdb54) at _syscall+0x183 _execve(f137c800,efbfff94,efbfff84,8097060,efbfd75d) at _execve+0x1c7 _exec_aout_imgoct(efbffe98,f01bf6c18,f137c800,0,0) at _exec_aout_imgoct+0x15f _exec_new_vmspace(efbffe98,0,0,efbffe98,3e000) at _exec_new_vmspace+0x3d _pmap_remove_pages(f1425164,0,efbfe000,0,efbde000) at _pmap_remove_pages+0x7b Then the kernel catches a signal 12 (page not present) and chokes. Some interesting related information: I have observed that preceding a crash and burn, some programs begin to behave strangely. For example, while trying to make a crash happen, I was compiling a kernel with pgcc, which refused to run because of a signal 10. After crashing and rebooting, the compile went fine. Yesterday, something similar happened with BitchX, only on signal 4 (illegal instruction of all things). Netscape will frequently refuse to run because of signal 11. All of these program will run fine after rebooting, however. Other information that may be of use: I know that there are bad sectors on my swap partition, but I had the install program check and mark bad blocks. Also, this is happening with 3.0-SNAP, but also was happening with 2.1.5. This is running on a P100, intel chipset, with 32 megs of RAM and 74 megs swap. At this point, I'm trying to get my computer to crash again to see if the fault occurs in the same place consistantly.

My quad speed is not presently supported by Freebsd. I would like to install some of the packages without having to copy the whole dir. (almost 400M) since I don't have that much free space. Is there a way to install just selected packages? If so, which files and directories need to be on the DOS partition? Also, can I just use the sysinstall program to do it or do I have to boot from the floppy. The reason I ask is that I seem to be able to use sysinstall for a distribution off the floppy but not from the partition. I get a not available on media you have selected "message" even though the distribution on the DOS partition is exactly as the one on the floppy.

If you set it to 96MB and you don't have that much memory, FreeBSD should truncate the setting to however much memory you have. There's a bug in the reporting, however, that causes it to say something about "memory holes"...just ignore that. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 6 16:28:03 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA17792 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 16:28:03 -0800 (PST) Received: from alpha.xerox.com (alpha.Xerox.COM [13.1.64.93]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id QAA17767 for ; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 16:27:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from www.sdsp.mc.xerox.com ([13.231.132.18]) by alpha.xerox.com with SMTP id <14559(7)>; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 16:27:19 PST Received: from gnu.sdsp.mc.xerox.com (gnu.sdsp.mc.xerox.com [13.231.133.90]) by www.sdsp.mc.xerox.com (8.8.5/8.8.3) with SMTP id TAA10176; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 19:16:00 -0500 (EST) Received: by gnu.sdsp.mc.xerox.com (4.1/client-1.3) id AA02844; Thu, 6 Feb 97 19:15:49 EST Message-Id: <9702070015.AA02844@gnu.sdsp.mc.xerox.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0gamma 1/27/96 To: Doug White Cc: Jonathan Sturges , questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Can Linux/FreeBSD share swap?

I'm sharing a swap partition on linux and win95...when I boot linux I erase the dos files, dd it, and mkswap it (putting back the old image on shutdown). I was under the impression in freebsd you can swap on arbitrary partitions (so I want to use the same strategy). I'm going to swap on OS/2 on the same parititon (its 35 MB). I think NT insists on an NTFS partion to swap.. (??) I strongly encourage making small swap parititons (I'm putting it in extended partitions) then swap files...then if something breaks, its no big deal... What I would like is not to insist on swap when I install (on machines with >16 Mbyte of ram, its reasonable not to have to make a swap parititon). -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Feb 6 16:32:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA18018 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 16:32:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA18012 for ; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 16:32:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.4/8.6.12) with SMTP id QAA04073; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 16:32:32 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 6 Feb 1997 16:32:32 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Neil cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Dail-up client In-Reply-To: <32FAC312.1CC7@moose.co.uk> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Thu, 6 Feb 1997, Neil wrote: > We are seriously considering useing Freebsd software but still have a > few more question that need answering. > > > How many dailup client can FreeBsd Internet server comfortly cope with > on a pentium P200 with 256 MB of memory and 4 Giga bytes of hard disk?? Enough would be my guess; the limiting factor would be the serial hardware. Note that ftp.cdrom.com is a PPro200 with either 256 or 512k of RAM, can accept 1500 network users, and it's limiting factor is network bandwidth. 4GB might be too small depending on how much diskspace usage per user you're going to allow.

There are patches available with a rudimentary pnp configurator. I believe they're for 2.1.6, but you're going to need to install 2.1.6 first.

I just upgraded from 2.1.6 to today's 2.2GAMMA release, and it went really smooth, except for some odd problem with the libraries. Anything that needs a lib outside of /usr/lib fails, even though ldconfig -r shows all of the others (/usr/X11R6, /usr/local/lib, etc...). In rc, I see ldconfig run with all the extra libs, but for some reason none of the programs seem to know about it. As a temporary solution (garnered from searching -questions), I have put symlinks in /usr/lib to the local or X libs. This looks like a horrible hack, but it works... Any help would be appreciated.

I just bought the 2.1.6 FreeBSD CD-ROM last Sunday. Since then, I have installed it about 5 times. Even though I have managed to install FreeBSD from the dos partition, I cannot configure the kernel to accept my cd player. It is a Creative Labs one. I *did* enable the Matsumi/Creative CD in UserConfig (matcd0). The sysinstall.debug file claims that matcd0 is not at port 0x230. I *did* attempt to set port to -1 as outlined (in some document somewhere on the CD-ROM )but the user-interface for UserConfig does not allow values at or below 0. It resets to 0x230. What should I now do?

Once you've decided on an install method (CD/DOS/FTP/etc), boot to linux, write the boot floppy with dd, reboot, and install. when you're at the fdisk portion, delete your linux parts, and create a FreeBSD partitition and go on with the install. Be warned however, that you will have to at least touch your first drive with fdisk so the install process will slap a boot loader on the mbr for you. When you reboot, you'll be given a menu to boot DOS or from 2nd HD... choose the 2nd HD, and then FreeBSD. It's that easy... > My second question is, which is better?

The wildwind upsd is built to be modular. depending on how your UPS does it's signalling (you'll need to get the specs for this) it shouldn't be too difficult to hack something into the existing frame. ww upsd is pretty simple, the nasty logic is in the APC support. > I would like to write a UPSd in C++, but I don't have enough knowledge of > serial programming yet.

SysV and BSD are about as different as butter and chocolate. You'd have to poke the source, the hackers list, or Design & Imp. of 4.4BSD to find out the gory details. You could just call shutdown(8), but then your program has to run setgid operator. If you haven't taken the opportunity, check out ftp://ftp.ww.net/pub/wildwind/upsd. Full src included.

Now I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a new PentiumPRO. (The machine has a functional NT partition already, so there are no instrinsic hardware problems). I've built a boot floppy using the rawrite utility, same as I did last time. However when it boots it is not finding my hard drive. All the SCSI devices come back with 'not found'. Here's my known hardware setup. Adaptec AHA2940 Ultra Wide PCI- to- Fast SCSI Host adapter. On this I have ID0 : Seagate St32430N Hard Drive ID5 : Nec CD-ROM Drive. I've been in the boot config (boot -c). I'd have thought the ahc1 driver would be the one - but there are no options on that one to try changing. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as I've almost run out of ideas.

There is no option there. Basically, just tell pppd that its local IP address is .4. pppd a.b.c.4:x.x.x.x (substitute remote IP address) pppd does not care about the status of the IP address w.r.t. other interfaces.

You have to mount it. Your /etc/fstab probably reads: /dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 ^^^^^ |___________ may be different if scsi cd Or you may not have this listing at all.

Yesterday morning, I was happy :). I bought my 2.1.6 walnut creek cdrom (there is some delay between France and the U.S.) and plan to upgrade my system. Yesterday evening, I was sad :(. I have read from questions mailing list that due to some security problems 2.1.6 will be replaced by 2.1.7. What's sort of problems (kernel, TCP/IP, commands) ?? Is the 2.1.7-Release will be available from walnut creek or only on ftp ?? I don't have the possibility to ftp'ing FreeBSD from mirror sites. I always wait for the FreeBSD (walnut creek) cdrom to be available in France. I have a 2.1.5 system used by 10 users. This system is configured as NIS client with NFS mounting. Should I upgrade to 2.1.6 or wait for 2.1.7 or even 2.2 ??? I don't really want to start a FreeBSD-Release cd-rom collection :). pbl@dorotech.fr From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 7 06:46:28 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA29882 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 06:46:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from emma.eng.uct.ac.za (emma.eng.uct.ac.za [137.158.128.160]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA29874 for ; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 06:46:23 -0800 (PST) Received: (from shaun@localhost) by emma.eng.uct.ac.za (8.8.4/8.8.4) id QAA00947; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 16:46:08 +0200 (SAT) Message-ID: <19970207164607.WI64731@emma.eng.uct.ac.za> Date: Fri, 7 Feb 1997 16:46:07 +0200 From: shaun@emma.eng.uct.ac.za (Shaun Courtney) To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Help with XDM and chooser X-Mailer: Mutt 0.60 Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi All I'm at the end of the line here and would desperately like some help.

I've realised this in rc.local in the following way ...... if [ -f /etc/sysconfig ]; then . /etc/sysconfig fi # Start xdm and Xserver if [ X"${xdm}" = X"YES" ]; then /usr/X11/lib/X11/xdm/TakeConsole 2>&1 > /dev/null echo -n ' xdm'; /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-co nfig > /dev/null 2>&1 echo -n ' X direct'; /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -indirect odie & fi and add a line xdm=YES in /etc/sysconfig. But beware to start two such server in this way. I tried to start one with the -query option to get a direct login and another with the -indirect option to allow collegues to use my machin as an Xterminal. It lokks like this: echo -n ' X direct'; /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -query odie & sleep 10; echo -n ' X indirect'; /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt6 -indirect odie & bhe mouse and the console-switching is completly confused. It's not clear if it's a syscons or XFree86 error! All went well if you start the second Xserver "per hand" from an console login.

They have a number of Mac of various incarnations. Three of which are PowerMacs running 7.5.5 and Open Transport 1.1.2. The DNS server of the ISP is a FreeBSD machine running 2.1.5 (or 6), with stock bind code. The Netscape will work for a while but then dns cannot be resolved. A Mac guy told me that Netscape isn't complient with Open Transport, but continues to use some MacTCP hidden file for resolution. The Mac guy also had a Mac dnslookup (freeware) utility, that is Open Transport complient, it never fails when Netscape doesn't. Oh, my workaround was to set up a Sun Netra (with stock bind, I believe that's Bind 4.8.3 derived) as a secondary to the FreeBSD box and have them connect to that (it's doing address translation for the Macs, and is a couple of hops closer, so is actually probably a better place for resolution anyway). So the questions are: 1) What version of BIND is FreeBSD 2.1.5 (2.1.6) running. It seems to be 4.9 of some sort, but is there a sub of that, like 4.9.3. 2) Can I compile/install Bind 4.9.4 on FreeBSD 2.1.x or 2.2? The ISP's box isn't mine, but I can proof of concept on my box and influence them. 3) Is this a known problem? I know it's really a Netscape or Apple problem but, I need to understand it better. The Mac support company was going to try to get someone at Apple to Talk to me. I just got the 2nd edition fo DNS and BIND. Is there help in there? Should I talk to Cricket? (I do know him).

Does a body have a hope in hell if they have a tape backup that connects through a floppy controller. I have a Conner 850 and have been trying to use tar and dump through 'ft' and keep getting "fdc0 input timeout" and "fdc0 output timeout" and occasionally actually see the tape drive respond but no write or worst still 'write error'. I have compiled FDSEEKWAIT = 'a variety of setting' and still get timed out with no write. I am using 2.1.5. I realize that 'ft' is set up for 40/80 but it should do something. The tape is a 3010 , 400 feet and 50 tracks. density I can't find (perhaps my ignorance is showing) Any help would be appreciated as I don't have a $1000 for an exabyte tape drive for home use. I know there are other floppy tape drive people who would like to see some answer thanks Keith keithl@wakko.gil.net ------------------------------------------------------ Character is what you are in the dark - John Warfin ------------------------------------------------------ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 7 12:31:33 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA17729 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 12:31:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from zed.ludd.luth.se (zed.ludd.luth.se [130.240.16.33]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA17724 for ; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 12:31:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from father.ludd.luth.se (pantzer@father.ludd.luth.se [130.240.16.18]) by zed.ludd.luth.se (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA17212; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 21:31:27 +0100 Received: from localhost (pantzer@localhost) by father.ludd.luth.se (8.6.11/8.6.11) with SMTP id VAA18861; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 21:31:28 +0100 Date: Fri, 7 Feb 1997 21:31:27 +0100 (MET) From: Mattias Pantzare To: Dean Anderson cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FTP site In-Reply-To: <32F89C6C.6944@oec.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Is it too much to ask to have a normal ftp site, with the source distributions > organized by category, with the original source tar file and a patch file for BSD?

Use the web site as a guide to find the "locations" of packages. Compare with ftp.uu.net, or any of dozens of other large ftp sites. Imagine that one has a VMS machine without make, but can create a tape or uucp a file that is readable on his machine at home. So ftpping a makefile and running "make get-dist" is completely unacceptable. The problem is that your site is for use only by the freebsd ports program, and then very badly at that. And nowhere does it say that. When you say you have msql.tar.gz, it appears that you actually have msql, which you don't have anywhere on your ftp site. So web searches looking for msql list your site as having msql.tar.gz. They are led thinking that your site is much closer than the australia site, and spend half hour trying to figure out where you might have squirreled away the msql distribution, only to discover to there great frustration that you were lying about having it in the first place. You don't have an ftp site. Its a ports site that uses ftp as a data transport. --Dean Dean Anderson dean@aV8.com | dean@lpf.org We make technology fly!

The kernel option IPFORWARDING/GATEWAY is no longer available or required. IP forwarding is controlled by the sysctl variable net.inet.ip.forwarding. Setting "gateway=YES" in /etc/sysconfig makes /etc/netstart execute the command 'sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1', which enables IP forwarding. You can disable it at runtime, if you desire, with the command # sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=0 Now to go back and answer your previous e-mail, which I read but did not have time to reply to... :-) Danny From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Feb 7 15:44:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA08543 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 15:44:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from yoshida.com (gateway.yoshida.com [204.203.122.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id PAA08536 for ; Fri, 7 Feb 1997 15:44:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from Yoshida-Message_Server by yoshida.com with Novell_GroupWise; Fri, 07 Feb 1997 15:44:40 -0800 Message-Id: X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 4.1 Date: Fri, 07 Feb 1997 15:43:59 -0800 From: David Chamberlain To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Stupid shell question Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am very new to Unix and FreeBSD so forgive me...

However, this does not make it "broken", just different. Last time I checked, there were no laws or even rules for websites, just tradition. Just because I file looks like it contains something that you want, does not mean that it IS something you want. If msql.tar.gz is a port, not a package, didn't the fact that it was about 50K tip you off that it probably wasn't the source for a whole RDBMS? I guess they should have named msql.tar.gz something like msql.tar.gz-port-only-not-complete-dont-use-unless-you-have-freebsd-installed Excellent! I would say that anything from /pub/FreeBSD down is most likely for FreeBSD users, don't you.

Really . . . you'd think he was paying for it or something. Not to mention -- how many of us have, on our own time, read this guy's email and taken the time to respond helpfully?

Fortunately I have a little more patience than that. I have been drawn to FreeBSD (although I don't completely know why) for about a year and a half. Two years ago I didn't even know what an operating system was (the only reason I even got into computers is that I found an XT on the sidewalk on garbage night). I sympathize with those who get frustrated (with the possible exception of the author who started this thread). I am fully into the idea of a free OS, and I have come to appreciate FreeBSD as much as a newbie can. I'm leading up to this... it may be a good idea to have a FreeBSD-newbie list. I appreciate the patience that gurus had had with me over my time on this list, but I've learned that if I am confused about what's going on, there are usually others who are just as confused. I understand that those of you who are knowlegeable don't have time to answer questions like..."What the heck is FreeBSD?" etc... I think the potential for FreeBSD is great...there are many people who are just too intimidated by the whole thing to get into it. There are people who stumble onto your site who don't know anything about Unix/BSD, but have a genuine interest. I say let's get as many supporters as possible. FreeBSD is a great OS, but it's hard to get started for many people (I'm the only one at my school that I know of (the rest are into Linux and SCO)). My idea is to let newbies answer other newbies' questions and have someone moderate. That way there will be a forum for those of us who ask dumb questions as well as those who are too afraid to ask dumb questions. Anyway...just thought I's throw that in. I'd thought of it before, but it seems like now would be a good time.

To the best of my ability to sus it out, the original problem seems to be persisting. Some folk can talk to me. Some can't. Some run so slow as to be useless. Yet others, some 5000 a month, have no problems. I don't know if the other machine https://ruby.chalmers.com.au has similar problems. It's a trial SSL server. 486 2/66 So, next step. I swapped out the ethernet cable. nada. I swapped out the ehternet card. nada. A helpful net person tells me that he can connect to my www pages with NO PROBLEMS so long as he uses FreeBSD 2.1.5.

Where I can get this version? It's DG's special version. :-) It once was basically wu-ftpd, but it's evolved to the point now that it looks almost nothing like it. I've rewritten most of the code to be fast and memory efficient; it's even linked with a specially hacked up libc to make things as small as possible. It's highly customized for our environment - many of the original wu-ftpd features were removed because we don't use them, for example. Anyway, it's not available. I don't have any plans at the moment to release it for general us. I might consider allowing it to be used on other large ftp servers running FreeBSD, but supporting the code in a public release is a lot of work, and I don't have the time for it. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 8 03:18:36 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id DAA06275 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 03:18:36 -0800 (PST) Received: from labinfo.iet.unipi.it (labinfo.iet.unipi.it [131.114.9.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id DAA06266 for ; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 03:18:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (luigi@localhost) by labinfo.iet.unipi.it (8.6.5/8.6.5) id LAA08121; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 11:29:49 +0100 From: Luigi Rizzo Message-Id: <199702081029.LAA08121@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> Subject: Re: ping To: dg@root.com Date: Sat, 8 Feb 1997 11:29:49 +0100 (MET) Cc: vrick@loa.com, questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199702081058.CAA02629@root.com> from "David Greenman" at Feb 8, 97 02:58:06 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > >Hi all, > >I have a question. > >On my FreeBSD system pinging localhost with 56 data bytes packets I have > >times areound 2-3 ms, while on the system of my friend (I installed > >the FreeBSD on his PC) the ping statistic gives time around 0.5- 0.8 ms > > > >How come on my system the time for each packet sent to localhost is so high? > >It does not look normal at all, I guess it. > >No data packets are lost but the times are like I told you before. > >Have you got any suggestion for this problem? > > That is rather odd.

Here is not-so-brief error messages that might indicate what is going on. cd0(ahc0:3:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB cd0(ahc0:3:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB cd0(ahc0:3:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB cd0(ahc0:3:0): timed out in command phase, SCSISIGI == 0x84 SEQADDR == 0x59 cd0(ahc0:3:0): abort message in message buffer cd0(ahc0:3:0): timed out in command phase, SCSISIGI == 0x94 SEQADDR == 0x5a ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset. 5 SCBs aborted sd0(ahc0:4:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0 sd0(ahc0:4:0): Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred , retries:3 sd0(ahc0:4:0): NOT READY asc:4,1 sd0(ahc0:4:0): Logical unit is in process of becoming ready , retries:3 sd0(ahc0:4:0): NOT READY asc:4,1 sd0(ahc0:4:0): Logical unit is in process of becoming ready , retries:3 cd0(ahc0:3:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0 cd0(ahc0:3:0): Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred Can anyone help me with this??? ------------------------------------------ 0ooo oooO ( ) Brian Park : bpark@ece.uci.ed ( ) ) / URL : http://www.eng.uci.edu/~bpark \ ( (_/ \_) From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 8 04:23:11 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id EAA09034 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 04:23:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from narcissus.ml.org (root@brosenga.Pitzer.edu [134.173.120.201]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id EAA09029 for ; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 04:23:04 -0800 (PST) Received: (from ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id EAA06238; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 04:23:04 -0800 (PST) Date: Sat, 8 Feb 1997 04:23:04 -0800 (PST) From: Snob Art Genre To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: /usr/src/sys Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Is there any compelling reason for this directory to be mode 600?

Thanks Attached. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project ============================================================================= FreeBSD-SA-97:01 Security Advisory Revised: Wed Feb 05 09:58:56 PDT 1997 FreeBSD, Inc. Topic: setlocale() bug in all released versions of FreeBSD Category: core Module: libc Announced: 1997-02-05 Affects: FreeBSD 2.1.6 and earlier systems suffer from this vulnerability for all binaries due to setlocale() being called from crt0.o. Corrected: 1997-02-05 -stable, 1996-11-27 -current and RELENG_2_2 sources Source: FreeBSD specific bug FreeBSD only: unknown Patches: ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/patches/SA-97:01/ ============================================================================= I. Background The setlocale() call contains a number of potential exploits through string overflows during environment variable expansion. Because the 2.1.6 and earlier versions of FreeBSD called setlocale() in the C runtime code, the problem is especially acute there in that it essentially effects all binaries on the system. In FreeBSD 2.2 BETA and later releases, the setlocale() call was removed from crt0.c and the exploit closed through additional checks. There has also been some confusion over the implications of loading locale data by privileged programs. The facility for a user to supply their own (possibly corrupt or abused) locale data to non-privileged processes was removed in all releases on 1997-02-04. This was originally a debugging facility that got little use and the user can now only direct system binaries to load system administrator sanctioned locale files. This problem is present in all source code and binary distributions of FreeBSD released on or before 1996-11-27. II. Problem Description The setlocale() library function looks for the environment variable "PATH_LOCALE" in the current process's environment, and if it exists, later copies the contents of this variable to a stack buffer without doing proper bounds checking. If the environment variable was specially initialized with the proper amount and type of data prior to running a setuid program, it is possible to cause the program to overflow its stack and execute arbitrary code which could allow the user to become root. III. Impact Any binary linked on a system with setlocale() built into crt0.c (see list of affected releases in section I above) or which calls setlocale() directly has the buffer overrun vulnerability. If this binary has the setuid or setgid bits set, or is called by another setuid/setgid binary (even if that other setuid/setgid binary does not have this vulnerability), unauthorized access may be allowed. IV. Solution(s) Recompiling libc with the following patches and then recompiling all staticly linked binaries (all in /sbin and /bin as well as chflags, gunzip, gzcat, gzip, ld, tar and zcat in /usr/bin) eliminates this vulnerability in FreeBSD 2.1.6 and earlier releases: However, a full solution may require a re-link of all setuid/setgid local binaries or all local binaries likely to be called from another setuid/setgid program that were originally linked statically under one of the affected OSs. Dynamically linked executables will benefit directly from this patch once libc is rebuilt and reinstalled and do not need to be relinked. Because of the severity of this security hole, a full update release for FreeBSD 2.1.6 will also be released very shortly, that release being provisionally assigned the version number of 2.1.7.

It would be nice if I could use /stand/sysinstall to do the upgrade off the ftp site....but I tried several variations of that without success. After tinkering with my home system, it seems that the way to accomplish this is to download the /src tree tarballs, use a custom installation from sysinstall to extract them, build a new kernel, reboot, then make world. Basically I need comments on this idea, and of course, if there is a better way to accomplish what I want to do, I'm all ears. :) Will I be missing anything this way? Are there any dangers? The make world is attractive given my understanding that re-compiling will help us take advantage of the Ppro 200 that the system is running on. Any truth to this? And how much advantage are we talking about? Obviously I'm going to back up /etc....anything else I should back up, watch for?

I looked at LINT, and found this about bpf: # The `bpfilter' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter. Be # aware of the legal and administrative consequences of enabling this # option. The number of devices determines the maximum number of # simultaneous BPF clients programs runnable. The man page for bpf was helpful, but went over my head sooner than I would have liked. :) Where can I find more information (starting at a less ethereal level :) regarding what bpf is good for, and exactly what the dangers are? The last time I asked, the best info I got was that for my purposes (occasional filtering of nuisance hosts) enabling the firewall option in the kernel, and using ipfw would be my best bet. This issue has become somewhat more urgent as our system is being attacked by a pesky (and persistent) 15 year old. I never did receive an answer on how much overhead (cpu is the biggest consideration) this will add to my system. Also, where can I find more info on how to construct rules? (Beyond the man pages.) I will be doing this all remotely, so getting it right the first time is essential. I've heard that the O'Reilly book on TCP/IP Administration is really good.....is this kind of information included in it? I have 2 of their books already, and really like them.

I had a similar problem with an HP4SiMx once. I had to upgrade the firmware on the JetDirect card to get it to work. It acted similar to what you describe, I could telnet into the printer, and get it to print from there, but I couldn't get a remote machine to get it to print. I don't know for sure that you need to upgrade the firmware, just thought I would throw that out there just in case.

It sounds like you have lots of interfaces (e.g. our web server with >100); in this case you have to recompile gated with (e.g.) RTBIT_SIZE=8 (which gives 256 bits in the mask). This goes in the Config file in your private obj directory; isn't the gated config process "nice"???.

We STILL decided to install twice the amount of cache (256 megs) split between two disks in the SCSI chain. Splitting up the cache between the two disks should, in theory, speed up your performance. The conventional wisdom is to have at least twice your memory as swap. In SunOS, for instance, it was hard to even get a machine to work unless you had an equal amount of swap and memory, no matter how much RAM was shoved into the box.

Hey, but you are making progress... You can ping the printer? The printer needs an IP address and netmask. That's usually the first thing I have to work thru when putting a new printer on the net that has its own ethernet port. HP's are nice enough that you can set the IP address and netmask with only 100 or so button pushes on the front panel. Tek printers require RARP/BOOTP, which is also available on the HP. Oh, and it should go without saying, make sure TCP/IP is enabled on the printer's ethernet port. If you can ping the thing, then telnet to it. And see what HP thinks its configuration is. If you can get that far, the clue to what is wrong is hidden somewhere on that setup page. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Logout/login will produce the same effect. /bin/csh caches the names of executable programs found in $path. If you add a new executable somewhere csh doesn't know it until you tell it to "rehash" its database/cache. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

On the FTP site is everything one needs to begin a make of the software involved, and from there the rest is taken care of. It's pretty clearly a FreeBSD directory, and the ports work with FreeBSD. > Don't you think you are a bit unethical to claim to have a package you > don't really have? Unethical? That makes it sound as if someone is benefitting. And, as I said, everything necessary is there. I think you should rethink your attitude towards free sites -- had I put the amount of work into this site that the maintainers had, and taken as many pains as they have to make it user-friendly and intuitive, I would very much resent people like you coming in and criticizing. Who exactly do you think you are that FTP sites should conform exactly to your mistaken idea of what they should be?

In each of these new threads, a read is proformed to build the request to process. This read needs to be a blocking read. I have not done anything to change signal mask, etc. What I am getting at the moment is the read will fail and set errno equal to EAGAIN. I can but all this in a loop ignoring when read fails and errno is equal to EAGAIN but this is very ineffecient considering ow fast this loop runs. Any ideas? I am using the newly updated libc_r library. This version is working MUCH better for me than the previous version since the syslog() function does not cause the program to stall forever.

I don't know how all this got started, but how can an FTP site "claim" to have anything? Are you saying that everytime you do a search on the 'net, that every single response you receive is relevant to the subject you requested? Come on man, get real. This has been a big waste of time and bandwidth for this discussion. If you don't care for the FTP site, don't use it. Mentally file away those addresses so anytime a search returns them, you know not to use them. Those of us that use FreeBSD find the FTP site extremely useful. Please don't come in here telling us how "broken" it is. The ports package is very well "advertised" in FreeBSD's documentation, and never does it claim that the ports contain the entire source. In fact, it "advertises" the exact opposite, stating the ports are merely diffs to be applied against the original. Thus saving valuable space on the FTP site (or, more to the point, the CD-ROM that FreeBSD ships on). The ports package is exactly what it claims to be. If you are looking for full sources, don't look in the ports. End of story. This reminds me of a customer I had once. We had a link to the Texas Lottery Commission on our web page. He called us complaining that we don't post the winning numbers fast enough on "our" web page. He went on to rant that if we were going to do something, "why don't we do it right!"

Because they are. You should be able to download any .tar.gz from that directory, and it will contain the exact same files as are available from that file's distribution source. I use the FreeBSD distfiles directory as a one-stop shop when I'm looking for something for the other Linux and SCO systems I maintain. If I can't find what I need there, then I do a web search to find the official dist. site. Every package we 'claim' to have really is in the /distfiles directory (barring export or licensing issues). /Distfiles doesn't claim to fully mirror remote distribution sites, but it does contain the minimum file(s) needed to compile particular programs for Unix OS's. The /ports tree contains patches, if needed, to make compiles smoother on FreeBSD. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 8 16:55:35 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA11792 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 16:55:35 -0800 (PST) Received: from admin.cyberenet.net (mail@admin.cyberenet.net [204.213.252.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id QAA11786 for ; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 16:55:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from twwells.com [199.79.159.1] (root) by admin.cyberenet.net with smtp (Exim 1.59 #1) id 0vtNYA-0003ya-00; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 19:55:22 -0500 Received: by twwells.com (Smail3.1.29.1 #8) id m0vtNXP-0000sRC; Sat, 8 Feb 97 19:54 EST Message-Id: From: bill@twwells.com (T.

Yes: a privileged program can run an unprivileged program that still has the problems. So to be secure, you'll want to replace all statically-linked binaries.

I go into /usr/src/release, and do make release.1, etc. in turn. (I wanted to see what was happening at each step.) I encounter the following problem during release.8: the Makefile executes the following line: disklabel -w -r -B -b ${RD}/trees/bin/usr/mdec/fdboot -s ${RD}/trees/bin/usr/mdec/bootfd /dev/r${VNDEVICE} minimum and I get the following error message from the above command: ioctl DIOCWLABEL: Operation not supported by device Any ideas or suggestions as to why I am getting that error message? I am running a kernel that has the `vn' option, and most of the rest of the release.8 phase works. What are the consequences of the above error? As a work-around, could I dd the fs-image to a floppy, and then run the above command, but with the floppy device, so that the label on the floppy gets modified? Another question: When during the release building process does a kernel get put onto the file system contained in the boot floppy? I am ending up with a fs-image file that has a file system in it, complete with sh, gzip, lots of devices in /dev, etc., but no kernel. Perhaps this is related to the above ioctl problem? Any help would be appreciated!

You should have no trouble with a mix of 2.1.5, 2.1.6, and 2.1.7 executables...although you _should_ upgrade all of system binaries to 2.1.7 as there will be many other potential security holes fixed in the release, too. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Feb 8 18:13:26 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id SAA16075 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 18:13:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from smtp1.xs4all.nl (smtp1.xs4all.nl [194.109.6.51]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id SAA16067 for ; Sat, 8 Feb 1997 18:13:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from asterix.xs4all.nl (root@asterix.xs4all.nl [194.109.6.11]) by smtp1.xs4all.nl (8.7.6/XS4ALL) with ESMTP id DAA19788 for ; Sun, 9 Feb 1997 03:13:14 +0100 (MET) Received: from plm.xs4all.nl (uucp@localhost) by asterix.xs4all.nl (8.7.5/8.7.2) with UUCP id DAA02994 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 9 Feb 1997 03:09:28 +0100 (MET) Received: (from plm@localhost) by plm.xs4all.nl (8.8.4/8.7.3) id CAA25713; Sun, 9 Feb 1997 02:48:59 +0100 (MET) To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Commercial X servers for FreeBSD From: Peter Mutsaers Date: 09 Feb 1997 02:48:58 +0100 Message-ID: <874tfm7nqt.fsf@plm.xs4all.nl> Lines: 12 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.4.11/Emacs 19.34 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Which commercial X servers are available for FreeBSD?

Dave, i thinnk that this is a very good idea. we need a volunteer to step froward and moderate the list (i cant devote the time to do the list justice.) the volunteer should be familiar with majordomo (not-critical). should be experienced with FreeBSD, so as to be able to distinuish the newuser questions from the more interesting ones that may arise (critical) should be willing to augment the FAQ with the results of the mailing list (near-critical to critical) have an account on freefall (desireable) be on very good terms with the doc folks and have commit privileges..... hmm...seems that we need to grow someone for this position. volunteers? jmb -- Jonathan M.

Yeah, I know. :-) But I've got too many simultaneous crises going on right now. And my "system" stuff isn't precisely stock, so it's not a matter of just plopping in a new /bin, etc. What I'm going to do is drop in replacements for the things that users can call that will cause problems with system-level security. That's something I can do in an hour or so, instead of the N hour upgrade process I otherwise would have to go through. Once the rest of the messes are dealt with, I'll do a proper upgrade....

[snip] I too would like to see such a list (see my previous post about static vs dynamically linked binaries). Sometimes I am reluctant to post such questions because I know they aren't "hard" questions to answer. But, when you don't know something, no matter how "easy" it may be, you still need to be able to find an answer. While on the subject of newbie questions, I would like to thank everyone who has helped me over the last few months. I feel I am starting to get a grasp of the operating system, thanks to many people's help. To the team, great OS! BTW, I am one of the ones who "stumbled" onto the FreeBSD OS. I was having problems getting Linux to do what I needed, so I tried FreeBSD after "accidentally" finding the web site. It has been a great success!

The drive won't even give the damn thing a tweek. the system just sits there. I did finally try something using tar and ft: Besides the numerous timeouts I got FT0: unrecoverable write error on block 3264 since I don't see anyway to specify a lenght or tracks or density with ft I have no idea for a solution ( did try dump with parameters to no avail). I don't even seem to have a way of checking if anything was saved (even though the tape drive whired and buzzed.) At the above error the console freezes up (except for the continuous - Timeouts) and I finally have to reboot to get it back. I can't even kill the ft process from another console???

Have you tried turning off the transaction tcp code? (see RFC1323 and RFC1644) In /etc/sysconfig: # # Some broken implementations can't handle the RFC 1323 and RFC 1644 # TCP options. If TCP connections randomly hang, try disabling this, # and bug the vendor of the losing equipment. # tcp_extensions=YES Changing YES to NO and rebooting is the permanent way. Or, you can do this at run time without a reboot to test it: sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0 sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0 Did you mention an Annex in the pathway? I understand they are known to cause problems with T/TCP headers. On http://www.noao.edu/~rstevens/ttcp.html I see: Implementations that Interact Poorly with T/TCP * Solaris, through and including 2.5. See Section 3.7 of TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 3 for details. * AIX 4.1.2. Earlier versions, specifically 3.2.2, handled SYN/data/FIN segments correctly. * Annex terminal servers. These don't like SYN segments with FIN or data.

I think I'll have to check and see if there's a special name for the queue. I don't believe the printer has a standard HP network card in it, so I may have to go another route. The problem is that I'm alone on this setup, and I can't get a hold of any of the manuals or setup for the printer. (Gotta love it when they hang you out to dry...:) ) Chances are that it's the network card that I'm actually dealing with. If you've got any other ideas though, feel free to send them.

The upgrade went pretty smoothly, except that I got some strange warnings on reboot due to /etc/sysconfig not containing certain new options. (Perhaps the upgrade process could append any options present in the new sysconfig file to the old one?) Two questions... 1) Do I need to rebuild any of my old non-system binaries to protect myself from the stack overwite bug being discussed on the freebsd-security list? 2) How do I keep up-to-date with version 2.2 without downloading 10s of megabytes every day over my 28.8kbps PPP link? Can I just grab the sources changed since my last update and recompile them?

I found differense. 2.1.0 begin session with mss 512, 2.2-BETA - with 1460. After setting MTU 1006 or less on 2.2 box they work fine. When I do traceroute to www.kenwoodusa.com, they failed (ping still ok). I think that some router in that place discard ICMP replayes, so MTU discovery not working .... Why 2.1.0 begin session from smaller MSS values that 2.2-BETA? Why 2.2-BETA do that? What is right way? Boris.
