First, read (and memorize :-) ) the "How to get the best results out of freebsd-questions" that Greg Lehey posts here once a month. Try to adhere to those rules, especially: 1.

Look in XFree86's site (www.xfree86.org) to see if that supports your card.

Instead you have /dev/wd2e (without the slice number s1). So you either change the entries in /etc/fstab from /dev/wd2s1e to /dev/wd2e or cd to /dev and enter sh /dev/MAKEDEV wd2 and sh /dev/MAKEDEV wd0. The slice number defaults to the first BSD-Slice of the disk, so changing /etc/fstab entries should work on your system.

Not quite clear on what you want to do here. Do you want the 3B2s to send mail via UUCP, but have incoming mail available via POP? Or possibly have certain addresses to a domain via POP and others or the default via UUCP? This can be done easily in sendmail.cf and a typical UUCP entry is: R$*<@cust_domain>$* $#duucp$@cust_mach_name$:$1<@cust_domain.com>$2 Now if you wanted certain addresses to be accessed via POP for a local account adding lines before the default line like this: Rjoe.customer<@cust_domain>$* $#local $: cust_account Would be parsed out before the default "catch all" parses the rest for UUCP delivery. Or just the opposite with default mail going to a POP account: Rjoe.customer<@cust_domain>$* $#duucp$@cust_mach_name$:$1<@cust_domain.com>$2 R$*<@cust_domain>$* $#local $: cust_account You will definately want to do some reading and consider exactly what you wish to do. Mind you the rules in FreeBSD's version of sendmail are most likely different that the version I use, so changes would be needed, but the principles are the same. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 16 03:42:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id DAA21601 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 16 Mar 1997 03:42:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from server.islc.net (root@server.islc.net [207.53.107.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id DAA21593 for ; Sun, 16 Mar 1997 03:42:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from jawronko.cypress-tech.net ([207.53.107.254]) by server.islc.net (8.8.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA03042 for ; Sun, 16 Mar 1997 06:41:59 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199703161141.GAA03042@server.islc.net> From: "Joseph Wronkowski" To: "FreeBSD" Subject: adding a dos hd to mount Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 06:45:23 -0500 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk ---------- > From: Joseph Wronkowski > Subject: adding a dos hd to mount > Date: Saturday, March 15, 1997 5:33 PM > > Hi, > I have bsd, linux, win95 setup on a 1.2 hd.

SCSI ZIP works fine with FreeBSD. I own one myself and have it hanging of an NCR SC-200 (53C810) SCSI board. Its just another SCSI device, and the SCSI ZIP's performance is very nice. Parallel ZIP is also supported, if you don't mind the relatively slow speed of the hardware involved.

I chose to write to a single set of logfiles, and parse out separate logs only for customers who require them. I also left DNS lookups turned off in the server, and had the post-processing scripts look up hostnames for only customers who required these as well, and the script also caches a few thousand lookups to speed things up. -- David Carmean Avtel Communications, Santa Barbara, CA +1-805-730-7740 Opinions herein are those of the author only, unless otherwise noted From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Mar 16 14:01:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA22018 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 16 Mar 1997 14:01:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from ccsales.ccsales.com (ccsales.com [206.5.38.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id OAA22013; Sun, 16 Mar 1997 14:01:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from ccswin95-2.ccsales.com ([207.137.172.85]) by ccsales.ccsales.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id OAA24309; Sun, 16 Mar 1997 14:03:49 -0800 Message-ID: <3307F411.537A@ccsales.com> Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 14:00:49 +0800 From: Randy Katz Reply-To: randyk@ccsales.com Organization: CCSales, Inc.

I'm dead...'. It's a bug in sysinstall.) I can install FreeBSD and get it working, but when I try to install any of the packages from the CD, it doesn't work because Win95 won't read the files. The files are there, but win95 reports them as having a file size of zero. I assume that the cdrom uses a format that isn't exactly the FAT fs that win95 is looking for. Is there any way to read it from Win95?

Everything works okay but the system seem to be unstable- reboots about once a day (of course only when I am not around). Strangly enough named on this machine has NOT been a problem *shrug*. Also gated pukes after a bit with assert failed in rt_radix.c assert(RT_TABLE_PTR(socktype(rth->rth_dest) netstat -m shows 503/704 mbub clusters about 3hours after last reboot on a Sunday. My main apache proccess show 336 open files and 44781 total at the moment. (fstat of root http proccess and fstat of web user) I think I am going to redo this with FD_SETSIZE=512 and see if that helps the system. I wish I knew why the machine was crashing right now. I can only tell if I am on the console when it does and I dont want to set gdb as I prefer it to come back alive quickly. Any thoughts if 2.2 has any tweaks to handle this better.

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

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

I've worked in a setup where the systems inside the firewall were NOT setup to provide that service, so the firewall was set to block them. We would get timeouts trying to get to SOME systems' SMTP daemons. When we opened up the firewall to allow them through, the connections went through. Our theory was that the remote system was getting an immediate connection refused after it was opened up, so everything proceeded just fine. With the firewall blocking them, it appeared as if the remote systems' SMTP daemons weren't spitting out their '220' welcome message banners, and our systems (running smail) were hanging waiting for it. Or at least, that's how it appeared (we didn't go thru the code or trace anything to confirm the precise cause). Also, note that this wasn't a 2.1.5 IPFW firewall, but on obtained from a 3rd party (I THINK it's really a special purpose Linux box). And we were using smail instead of sendmail. But the info might be useful nonetheless...

I have a 2GB Seagate ST12400N and a 1GB Seagate ST31230N. The _correct_ geometry for the first disk is: 2621/19/83 and the _correct_ geometry for the second is: 3992/5/103. See below. http://web1.seagate.com:80/cgi-bin/view.cgi?/scsi/st12400n.txt http://web1.seagate.com:80/cgi-bin/view.cgi?/scsi/st31230n.txt The FreeBSD install utility complains saying that the drive geometry is incorrect, and resets to 261/255/63. Ok, but the install fails with a "Page Fault." When I try other geometries, ie. 1024/128/32 I get much better results and sometimes make it through the install. The success is short lived as when paging occurs, so does another page fault (panic). Does anyone have advice on this topic? I am not sure that I understand what gives here!

While reading the disktab(5)-manpage (on FBSD-2.1.5) it seems that there is a minor bug in it. man 5 disktab says: ... ns num Number of sectors per track nt num Number of tracks per cylinder nc num Total number of cylinders on the disk sc num Number of sectors per cylinder, nc*nt default su num Number of sectors per unit, sc*nc default In my understandind of this (and i am everything else than a disktab-guru) the formula for "sc" should be: sc num Number of sectors per cylinder, ns*nt default ^^ with this change the formula for "su" gets also the right meaning. Maybe this is already corrected on FBSD-2.2+, i don't know. Could anyone comment on this. Darius Moos.

How well does FreeBSD upgrade from other versions? And how much time would it take to download, or do you make a patch for versions? Thanks a lot... -- Time to download depends on how fast your link is. Mine is pathetic, I usually start it late one night and it's done the next morning! I've upgraded a couple of times, 2.1.6 to 2.1.7, fairly hassle free as long as you follow the directions. Doug White's got a pretty good set of instructions that I use, I'll send them to you. New versions are usually a complete replacement unless its just a bug fix. (as far as i know anyway).

One suggested I had no swap space, but pstat -s shows /dev/sd0s1b 409600 0 409472 0% Interleaved and /etc/fstab has /dev/sd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 Another suggested malloc()ing a large chunk of memory and see what happens to top. So I wrote a C program that malloc()ed 25 megs. The display for top never changed. Exactly what that tells me I'm not sure. What's bizzare is that, unless top is wrong, there shouldn't be a problem with memory. I started getting mmap error a few minutes ago and managed to run top right before the machine locked up: load averages: 2.34, 2.02, 1.47 45 processes: 1 running, 39 sleeping, 5 zombie Cpu states: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.4% interrupt, 99.2% idle Mem: 19M Active, 2952K Inact, 15M Wired, 7572K Cache, 6741K Buf, 18M Free Swap: 205M Total, 64K Used, 205M Free As you can see, there's plenty of free memory according to top. Why the mmap failures? I'm also puzzled by the load averages, this machine isn't doing anything yet and shouldn't have such a high load.

Correct. sendmail tries to use ident to ID the person it is receiving mail from. I don't know what the default timeout is. And yes, I can find no time that you want to block port 113, because there are websites that exhibit the same behavior. If you don't want ident info given out, don't run identd, so that there is an immediate failure rather than a timeout.

But now another problem, the third button. I have a logitech mouse and the setting I am using is the mouseman setting. It works fine and all three buttons seem to be functioning correctly. I use FVWM, and I am having a problem with getting the winlist and the pager working properly. When I try to use the third button to bring up the Winlist it gives the following error: X error of failed request: BadWindow (ivalid window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 38 (X_QuaryPointer) Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 8 Current serial number in output stream: 8 Does anyone know what this is? I am thinking something is wrong with my mouses setting since it says (quarypointer). I am using 2.1.7 and the latest XFree86 And the pager comes up, but it does nothing, I cannot click on it or anything. Now to think of it, so does goodthings it comes up but I cannot select anything of it? SO where to go from here? Thanks all.

We have Apache 1.1.3 installed. Hypertext documents are served up to our PCs using NetScape very quickly. Generally the documents begin arriving within a fraction of a second and complete transferring in a matter of a second or so. We have a small Perl script which takes the input from an HTML form and outputs a search result and this completes in 2 or 3 seconds. But, doing any operation in HyperNews generally takes about 9 seconds to complete (I've timed it repeatedly). HyperNews works fine. I'd just like to reduce the response time down to something more reasonable (on the order of 2 or 3 seconds). I shold mention this FreeBSD box is not heavily used right now. HyperNews is implemented as a series of Perl scripts that access message and response pages and add response indices and image buttons to the page for access and control purposes. It is the work of Daniel Laliberte at NCSA. When I connect to the NCSA site which hosts the HyperNews home page I generally get responses from it completed with 2 or 3 seconds (and that's over the Internet). Is it possible that the slowness of HyperNews on our local FreeBSD box could be improved by fine-tuning the FreeBSD kernel? HyperNews also requires Perl 5.002 and in order to put this quickly on our FreeBSD 2.1 box, I grabbed the binary release for it from a copy of FreeBSD 2.1.6 that we had. As I say, it runs fine except that the 9 second delay between submiting a URL with extra path info and the display of the returning page is excessive. Could I get improvements if we compiled Perl5.002 on this box instead of using the binary release? Our FreeBSD box by the way is a Pentium 90 Dell server with 32 Mbytes of RAM. Thanks for any suggestions you can make.

Given the state of the gcc compiler/optimizer support for the Alpha, it would only run at about 1/2 a Pentium Pro, anyway... -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 17 13:03:15 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA04365 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 13:03:15 -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 NAA04359 for ; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 13:03:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA15287; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 13:03:12 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 13:03:12 -0800 (PST) From: Snob Art Genre To: Stan Brown cc: Free BSD Questions list Subject: Re: Can't login as root using xdm (2.2) In-Reply-To: <199703170159.UAA10796@netcom22.netcom.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 On Sun, 16 Mar 1997, Stan Brown wrote: > I have installed 2.2 on a Toshiba Tecra 500CDT.

Nothing; this is the result of a correct configuration. :) In /etc/ttys, ttys are marked as either "secure" or "insecure", defaulting to the latter. Only ttys marked "secure" will allow root logins. X uses network ttys, ttyp?, which are by default insecure. Unless you have absolutely no need for security, you're better off leaving them that way. > -- > Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 > Factory Automation Systems > Atlanta Ga. > -- > Look, look, see Windows 95.

I know people who have done this thinking it makes things more "secure" .. and it only roots up things even further :) (eg user processes can't read system files to get the current nameserver setup, or /etc/passwd/group to get uid/gid -> name mapping, other nasty stuff), since /etc/ DOES hold files that are quite useful for user processes :) If you are worried about people seeing your config, you CAN chmod stuff that is run by root so that only ROOT can read / write / execute the file, and noone else can. I wouldn't suggest this unless you knew what files are only ever accessed by root. Why do you want to do this ? Cya.

Personally, following the PR and advertising discussions, I'd be willing to pay extra for something if part of the proceeds went back into 'the Project'. Let's see...the OS is free...but then there is Jordan's salary, and there are hardware requirements (ie. spatter), and, hell, having a PR fund available would be *really* cool to help most things forward...

Since I am not a Supreme Unix Guru, yet; I cannot contribute to the source code. I do graphics, and I am ok at that (I like to think). And yes if I would make profit on them I would sell them and donate the remaining to the project, but it is way too much of a hastle to deal with that. I would rather make them and sell them to cut out even... If the Fbsd project really needs more funding, I would be willing to sell them for profit, and donate. At any rate; I don;t want to deal with profits and all that hastle. My tax lawyer already hates me :). I am opened for slogans though. Why don't people send me what they think they would like on the bumper sticker. Obviously the demon will be on most of them. I am willing to make several different logo's and open a voting session. Then I would print out what people are most interested in. I will think of a few slogans, and hopefully take some input from the peanut gallary. And I can put up the designs on the web (thank god, someone for the web ;) So far we have the plain "Powered by FreeBSD" which I am sure will be popular. Any other ideas out there?

That *is* the easiest way to upgrade, IMHO. FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist for 2.2: 1) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally (including the kernel source, src/ssys!) and any you wish to add. 2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade. 3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files for this release. . Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using the one in /etc/upgrade as a template. . Copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new features in sysconfig are used. Merge in any local changes, if necessary. If you are getting unusual messages from ipx, you forgot to do this. . Migrate other files as necessary. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy. > noticed there isn't a FreeBSD-stable that I can sup from (something which > I enjoyed with 2.1.x) but there *IS* a ctm tree.

(For instance, major changes to /etc or /var trees) Yes, you could build completely from scratch. Sup has been replaced with cvsup, IMHO a much superior system. Packages & ports are available through the respective trees. You'll have to install the modula-3 libs as well to get it working properly, but once it gets going, look out :) cvsup comes with a conversion utility to bring over your supfiles to something cvsup can use.

Make sure your SCSI bus termination follows the rules laid out in your SCSI adapter's manual. In the meantime, it should be harmless.

I'm looking at setting up something that Linux terms as "transparent proxying" under FreeBSD.This would allow me to force our users to use the proxy server by intercepting their attempts at connecting / talking to the HTTP port on machines, and redirect it to the proxy server. Another application I was condering was intercepting ident requests to our dialup lines and returning the ident corresponding to the user logged in on that line. Linux supports it quite easily.

But does Jordan (feel free to jump in) work on FreeBSD on company hours? WCCDROM does make money off selling the CDROMs and yes I know what it costs to press them, of course the equipment isn't cheap. Yet it is a part of what they do and no I don't propose to *know* all that they do. PR? Those in the industry better know what is out there. Some things advertise by word of mouth. Budgeting in advertising would mean that it would have to be sold for a price, IMHO. Now should it have a price tag, the source would then be available to customers (gosh now we need billing and tracking, as well as access control on the server) and customers have demands. This means that those that contribute to the project would be under deadlines and should (not necessarily "would") demand some recompense. Also contributers to the code may no longer wish to contribute in such an environment. I'm sure that a lot of them do so becuase they ENJOY doing so. Hence I say the "spirit of things." > And, why not a fund to cover the expenses of smoozing commercial >developers into developing reasonably priced software that is native to >FreeBSD...? This reeks of politics. Demand should dictate, but then there are those that scoff at the "Free" part and opt for Solaris or SCO or something else that costs an arm and a leg. I'll run NetBSD on a Sparc, Solaris can... > It all costs money... Yes it does, but the cost of the CDROM updates is supposed to cover the *material* costs. Yes WC does host the site, but then they sell the CDROMs and there are other sites that have the source as well. Look at how many programs, some very excellent, are out there that are commonly used, but don't cost a dime *and* you have the source. But then who knows.... Maybe a few of them aspire to be like Bill... Of course I would have to then choose another OS. 8-) > Ah, CVSup gets me up to the minute source, the CD doesn't :) Living on the edge. ;-) Can't do it, not advisable to do on a production server(s). ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 17 19:10:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA26594 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 19:10:47 -0800 (PST) Received: from Michelle.esfm.ipn.mx (Michelle.esfm.ipn.mx [148.204.104.23]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA26587 for ; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 19:10:42 -0800 (PST) Received: (from mrspock@localhost) by Michelle.esfm.ipn.mx (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA19094; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 21:11:19 -0600 (CST) Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 21:11:18 -0600 (CST) From: Eduardo Viruena Silva To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: fvwm95-2 xload and kmem files.

I am using FreeBSD ver. 2.1.6, and I tried to run "fvwm95-2" the window manager that looks like win 95 (sorry, my sister insisted). I noticed that it did not work fine. It seems to have missed the resource file ".fvwm2rc95". It should be in the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95-2. Instead of it, there is a file called "system.fvwmrc" that is a complete configuration of fvwm95-2. I moved "system.fvwmrc" to ".fvwm2rc95 and my fvwm95-2 worked fine. There a lot of "dependencies" that are not loaded when this manager is "pkg_add -ed" v.gr. xfm, xscreensaver, and another ones. But there is a problem with "xload" that must be corrected in FreeBSD 2.1.6: The files: "/dev/kmem" "/dev/mem" "/dev/drum" must have reading permission for all the users, otherwise "xload" does not work.

Does kernel ppp have a way that it would disconnect the connection after a certain timeout period or/and way to auto dial a connection? The timeouts are most interesting for a server that allows users to connection via ppp. The users using Microsoft stuff need to use kernel ppp for a reliable connection but some of the sponges never hang up. With userlevel ppp they can be forced off after a while of inactivity. I did this with the netbsd version which I assume is very simular but the same does not appear to work for FreeBSD. This question is either concerning 2.2 or -current.

Seeing as one is going from 2.1.5 to 2.2 and the kernel has been tweaked. One thing I must say seems to be lacking is advice on when to do a make world and where for that matter. I'll presume /usr/src . One system here went from 2.1.0 -> 2.1.7 and I should have it a 2.2 soon, so I a bit curious and searches on the site and archive give no clue.

Here's how: extract fonts into a directory (eg path/tfonts) cd path/tfonts mkfontdir xset fp+ path/tfonts xset fp rehash Still one problem: when I reboot, they are gone again.

The problems are exacerbated by the lack of an Owner's Manual. The first, and hopefully simplest problem is determining which density codes are actually valid for the drive; and what they mean in terms of capacity and compatability. The default appears to be 0x8c. According to the panel lights it is a compressed mode; and I would assume the maximum density for the drive (5Gb for a 112m tape.) But there should also be uncompressed high density, and both compressed and uncompressed low (2.5Gb) modes. The second problem appears to be related to timeouts. When attempting to tar with large block sizes (56Kb), after a while it reports: ncr0: timeout ccb=f174ec0 (skip) ncr0: timeout ccb=f174ee0 (skip) ncr0: timeout ccb=f174ea0 (skip) then wedges the OS badly enough to require a hard reset. The system is an ASUS PCI/I-486SP3G with a Cyrix 486/66DX2, using the SCSI controller built into the main board; running FreeBSD 2.2 GAMMA. (GENERIC kernel) Is there any easy way for me to verify that this is a problem in the drivers, not the drive itself or elsewhere in the SCSI hardware? And are there any easy knobs to tweak to eliminate the occasional timeout errors on long blocks?

The large format version of that logo I originally produced is around 1550x600, so even printed at a 100 lpi colour screen, you get a nice 15.5" long graphic, which is about bumper sticker size. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@netcom.ca) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't" From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Mar 17 22:32:51 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id WAA07287 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 22:32:51 -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 WAA07282 for ; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 22:32:49 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id WAA01630; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 22:32:41 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 22:32:41 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Dino Farinacci cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: [raj@cisco.com: Re: 3COM Etherlink III with FreeBSD] In-Reply-To: <199703120924.BAA14312@stilton.cisco.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 On Wed, 12 Mar 1997, Dino Farinacci wrote: > Got your forwarded message.

The modem in question is a USRobotics 28.8 Sportster. I used to run user ppp without problems. Things that have changed since then: upgraded from 14.4 Sportster. upgraded from 2.1.5-RELEASE. and changed to an ISP with dynamic IP allocation :( The problems are as follows: 1 - The connection dies after some seemingly random interval. However, the line doesn't get hung up, the routes stay in place, and the interface stays marked as up. The ppp process starts going crazy and slurps up memory; doesn't respond to keys. At this point I kill -9 it from another shell, down the interface, delete the dead route, and re-do (all manually, so far). Not much fun. 2 - A problem that seems more strange. 'ppp -auto foo' seems to behave strangely. It claims to be working fine, but it ups the interface with a bogus route immediately (i.e.: # ifconfig tun0 tun0: flags=8050 mtu 1006 # ppp -auto foo # ifconfig tun0 tun0: flags=8051 mtu 1006 inet 10.255.255.254 --> 10.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffff00 Any help (especially with problem #1!) would be most appreciated....

If you have access to another UNIX box, you can use the 'split' command to chop them up into bite-sized chunks. You could also install the base system, then install XFree later.

If I use DOS dir or Win95's explorer to access them, they show up with a file size of zero. The 00_TRANS.TBL is the only file that shows up in the packages directory with a size that is non-zero. Windows simply will not read it as a file that has any contents. Which means that if I use an FTP program (server or client) on the Windows machine, it will read it as a zero length file. I have seen a cdrom driver extension before that supported iso9660 (?) file system types and was supposed to handle an extended type of FS, but I'm not sure where to find it, or if it will work.

For the NCR cards, You'll need a D-sub 50 pin to DB25 convertor from your local electronics shop, runs about $20, if you want to plug a Zip or any Mac-type DB25 connectors into it.

The port is going to build virtually everything, which you probably don't want.

Seeing as one is going from > 2.1.5 to 2.2 and the kernel has been tweaked. Absolutely not. That is why you need the boot floppy -- it'll replace your existing binaries, which will do the equivalent of a "make all install." When you get finished, you'll be booting a 2.2 GENERIC kernel, and no doubt you'll want to restore your custom settings, thus #5. I've done 5 or 6 upgrades the same way without any adverse effects. Later this week, I'll do another round of 4 or so, bringing machines from 2.1.5 to 2.2-960801-SNAP up to 2.2-RELEASE, as soon as it stabilizes. > One thing I must say seems to be lacking is advice on when to do a make > world and where for that matter. I'll presume /usr/src . IMHO, you really must know what you are doing before building everything from scratch. 99% of the population just wants to upgrade, not rebuild everything and dedicate a 2GB disk to the job. The prescribed upgrade instructions do this in the least painful way. If you're doing this, I assume you're on hackers, stable, or current lists or have done this before. We've gone to the pain of doing this for you -- unless you have need to build from edited source, save yourself and your computer some aspirin. > One system here went from 2.1.0 -> 2.1.7 and I should have it a 2.2 soon, > so I a bit curious and searches on the site and archive give no clue. I upgraded my workstation from 2.1.6 (?) to 2.2-ALPHA without any real trauma, so the change should be very simple. The sticky part is the config file merging. They changed it for 2.2-GAMMA to make /etc/upgrade instead of munging the files, and it is confusing some people because suddenly, this glob of ipx stuff wants to start up... Hope this helps. Of course, do what you feel is sufficient to upgrade your system. It's your system, after all :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 18 00:59:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id AAA16265 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 18 Mar 1997 00:59:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id AAA16241 for ; Tue, 18 Mar 1997 00:59:03 -0800 (PST) Received: from mixcom.mixcom.com (mixcom.mixcom.com [198.137.186.100]) by who.cdrom.com (8.8.5/8.6.11) with SMTP id UAA26961 for ; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 20:52:52 -0800 (PST) Received: from P60 by mixcom.mixcom.com (8.6.12/2.2) id WAA18884; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 22:49:24 -0600 Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970317224747.0105fc58@mixcom.com> X-Sender: sysop@mixcom.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 22:47:47 -0600 To: The Hermit Hacker From: "Jeffrey J.

Reads like we crossed paths a bit. Let's say someone asks to make something and it promotes FBSD, great! They make some profit, great! After all, some recompense for the time and labor is in order. As to some proceeds going to "the Project" that would have to be up to the supplier of whatever. I just would not like to see FBSD get commercialized and lose the quality of the product. Some day I would not mind contributing in some way, but 60-80 hour weeks steady don't leave me much. 8-) And I certainly would buy a few t-shirts and maybe a "thing you put on your bumper" as one station here says. Of couse a sticker with a daemon on it would be more fitting on my cycle. Those in the Bible Belt may have a bit of a dilemma though. ;-) > Stuff like this a) provides advertising and b) could be used >to finance hardware required to advance the cause (an Alpha server?) Or code to run on an Alpha? I heard that either NetBSD or OpenBSD were "stale" and not really being developed, so.... Hmmm... I understand that mulitple processor support is a future thing...

Lets look first at the modem INITialization string. This instructs the modem how it should behave when being used. Init strings are generally quite different for each make and model of modem! To properly setup ANY modem, you must have the printed manual for your modem. It has a section generally entitled AT COMMAND REFERENCE (or similar). The init string should always start with the following: +++at After this startup, you merely add those features which you need to set. Typical ISP operations require that you have the following features set: reset modem to factory defaults &F remote carrier detect state &C1 hangup if DTR signal drops $D2 use hardware handshaking &K3 DISABLE error control \N0 DISABLE data compression %C0 Remember, check your manual for the correct init string commands for your specific modem. Those above are fairly typical - but are not necessarily going to be correct for your modem. Once you have the correct set of commands, just concatenate them. For example: +++AT&F&C1&D2*K3\N0%C0 Be sure that if you use UPPERCASE alpha characters in your string that you use them throughout the init string. You may instead use lowercase alpha characters - again so long as you use them across the entire init string. MAC init strings nearly always use $D0 whereas PC init strings nearly always use &D2 as a part of the init string. Using the above set of commands is an adequate starting point for making your modem connect properly. You can experiment with turning data compression and/or error control back on after you get the modem connecting reliably. (I advise all my clients to turn off the data compression and error correction and LEAVE it off!).

But here where in my day's job, I cannot simply tell the client he made a bad choice.. So, I install FreeBSD running samba, and show the client that the cost/benefit is very large in FreeBSD. Indeed, in a site running NT and FreeBSD/samba, the FreeBSD 2.2 snap performs better. The result: some time later (1 week or so) the client asks me to turn NT off. later, I install BSD in the NT machine (usually a BIG one), and things works even better. If they say that developping software in visual basic or delphi is a good idea, I show him python (www.python.org). This gives a program a better interface, less code, architeture independent code, easier programming, database access, whith less $$$$. Using Apache/Python/Postgres you can do amazing things. I bought Applixware, now running on 2.2 snap, and is Fantastic. see (www.redhat.com). Now I am "attacking" small novell servers (5-20 users). In this situation, FreeBSD works better, you do not need a novell administrator, special device drivers for printers, routers, SPX, and licences. Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.

Assume: I have a PCI card. It has 3 configuration registers at various offsets that are defined by the constants CZ_PCI_PLX9060_MEM, CZ_PCI_MEMORY_WINDOW, CZ_PCI_IRQ. I wish to be able to map the first two, which are memory addresses of dual ported ram on the card (I assume physical addresses), to virtual address space, so I can access it from the kernel. Major premise: I think I know how to do it. Minor premise: I probably have no clue, and I'm screwing it up. Therefore: I am assuming that I can use the pci_map_mem routine, and do something like: vm_offset_t vaddr, paddr; if (pci_map_mem(config_id, CZ_PCI_PLX9060_MEM, &vaddr, &paddr) == 0) die(); and then have (unsigned char *)vaddr be a pointer to my virtual memory space, which I can then memcpy to, or do things like (unsigned char *)vaddr[index] = 0; and such. Also, as an alternative, I can do it the long way, similar to: paddr = pci_conf_read(config_id, CZ_PCI_PLX9060_MEM); vaddr = (vm_offset_t)pmap_mapdev(paddr, 72); Then use vaddr as above as the virtual addresses. The questions I have are: 1.) Is this correct? If so, yea me. If not, which invokation is incorrect? 2.) Do I have to do anything extra fancy, such as take extra steps to align on page boundaries and such, and, if so, how would I go about doing that? 3.) Do I have to worry about locking the virtual memory space down? I assume they'd become kernel pages (as this is for a device driver), so they should never be "swapped". Any other comments are also welcome.

This question probably does not belong to this list, but I have no idea where else can I ask for help. I liked very much the performance of Apache webserver on my FreeBSD box. Our main server is a DEC Alpha with OSF/1, so I downloaded Apache sources from www.apache.org and compiled on the Alpha. Everything seems to be working ok, except that I am not able to use server-parsed html :( I have configured it this way: in srm.conf: AddHandler server-parsed .shtml AddType text/html .shtml Also, the "mod_include.o" module was compiled in. Now, I have a document (called test.shtml) with just two lines: but when I open it with the browser, it appears blank (so I assume server-parsing is not working). Of course, I am opening it thru the webserver, not as a local file. Please tell me what am I doing wrong... Thanks in advance, Victor Carranza University of San Carlos, Guatemala P.D. Has anybody tried NetBSD for the DEC Alpha? Is it a good alternative, since there is no FreeBSD for the Alphas?

I just made my first attempt at installing FreeBSD 2.1.7, but it failed. Everything went fine for a long time, drives partitioned okay, packages selected/installed, etc., and then I got two package errors -- one for emacs-2, the other for jove-4. The installation program just stopped cold. I figured out that the other tty listed the output of the jobs, and what happened evidently were gzip errors, with the error message from the subject line (above). Is there a list of packages that are corrupt, so I know what *not* to install? I checked the docs on the freebsd.org site for an error list, but found nothing. What other undocumented problems will I face? I don't really have much free time now; I need to be able to do this in one more attempt. Also -- why doesn't the installation program give the option of aborting a specific pkg_add (or whatever), instead of just stopping the whole thing? Anyway, I'd appreciate any suggestions/advice you could give me. I'm new to UNIX (I usually use OS/2), so you may need to talk down to me a little! System is Cyrix P6-120+, 40MB RAM, 2MB 3D ProVidia card; I'm installing from the Walnut Creek CD distribution on a Mitsumi 12X drive.

OK, but I would imagine that it would be a good idea to recompile some of the packages, unless there is a new version. Some standard things I do as a package, usually from sysinstall. Others have been customized, so I keep the source out of the way of upgrades. >We've gone to the pain of doing this for you -- unless you have need to >build from edited source, save yourself and your computer some aspirin.

Sounds just like the upgrade to either 2.1.5(6?) and having to redo a half-dozen files in /etc and I don't see this as a problem. What I do have a problem with is the default mode for skeykeys, which should be treated just like master.passwd and spwd.db. Once it is set it doesn't get changed, but I do chmod a lot of things that users should not have execute rights for, let alone read. Easy enough to script this out. >Hope this helps.

The GENERIC kernel contains support for all sorts of devices that you probably don't have on your machine. The code to support these devices is all part of the kernel text that is loaded and pinned into kernel memory. All this code for devices you don't have wastes RAM, which you could put to use for user programs, file cache, etc. -Dave From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Mar 18 16:45:03 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA17652 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 18 Mar 1997 16:45:03 -0800 (PST) Received: from dn800e0.fingerhut.com (dn800e0-ext.fingerhut.com [204.221.45.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA17630; Tue, 18 Mar 1997 16:44:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from dn800e0.fingerhut.com (root@localhost) by dn800e0.fingerhut.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id SAA06231; Tue, 18 Mar 1997 18:45:55 -0600 (CST) Received: from seag.fingerhut.com (GF007E0.SEAG.fingerhut.com [151.210.140.7]) by dn800e0.fingerhut.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id SAA06227; Tue, 18 Mar 1997 18:45:55 -0600 (CST) Received: from gf006e0.fingerhut.com. by seag.fingerhut.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id SAA11952; Tue, 18 Mar 1997 18:44:41 -0600 Received: by gf006e0.fingerhut.com.

I finally got 2.1.7 installed on my secondary disk. I chose the X-developer can. I also, at the end, did *not* add any packages, because the last time I had gzip errors that caused the installation to fail (and I had to start over). I thought that the X-developer can would include an actual installation of X on the machine, and the X directories are there, but it doesn't boot X on default (I'm used to SCO OpenServer, which did). I tried to use /stand/sysinstall to configure the X stuff, but the program doesn't seem to work. It says to select the option, but pushing number and letter keys does absolutely nothing. Pushing TAB moves the brackets back to EXIT, but the RETURN key doesn't even seem to work. The only keys besides TAB that do anything are the the various functions keys -- but all they do is dump me to the command line. I tried man and apropos for the sysinstall program, but that gave me nothing. Does it accept an argument? All my attempts to pass arguments failed. I tried, then, to run the post-installation configuration from DOS, but it doesn't seem to know about the BSD disk (HD 1). Based upon the above, how can I get X to start at boot, and how can I use sysinstall? What am I missing?

The thing which comes closer to netboot is to build a boot floppy with a kernel (and a loader, you have the choice between the FreeBSD loader and fbsdboot) and use the kernel bootp stuff by Tor Egge (I have a copy, I also posted it some time ago). It works fine here, although booting from a floppy is ssssslllllooooowwwww .... this can be overcome if you happen to have a HD and can load the kernel (and just that) from the HD.

I suggest that you go to the ports and do a make extract, then read ALL the samba man pages and explanatory information very carefully. Setting this stuff up is decidedly nontrivial, in my experience, and I suspect that something, either the Samba release or the FBSD install, has sufficiently changed to mess up the automation. In my experience there is a lot of studying to get Samba set up correctly for a particular environment. And everyone seems to have a set of local customs which dramatically affect their MS operating systems - Unix relationship. I can assure you that Samba works fine on recent versions of FreeBSD. I use it for a very customized print server for Win95 boxes as well as serving files to them.

looking for CHEAP multi-port async cards for low-bandwidth terminal server Date: Wed, 19 Mar 1997 10:00:27 -0800 From: Paul Traina Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We're talking about using a couple of freebsd machines in our lab to serve the serial console ports on 8 or so devices. The ports are clocked at 115k, but are for the most part, totally idle, so a board that can handle 8x115k bandwidth is not necessary. Of all the multi-port async boards out there (Cronyx, Cyclades, Stallion(s), Specialix, AST, Boca) that run under FreeBSD, what do people like?

These were mine: 1) the boot floppy collapsed into error messages before finishing its probing. Stress - test - try all the flags - no joy. Solution: corrupt floppy *@#$! Got it again - worked perfectly. 2) I was installing via ftp from another machine on the local network, logging on as a registered user. Normally that would take me into my home directory. The sysinstall instructions tell you to enter the path to the distribution relative to your home directory or the ftp directory. No good. Eventually I found that it was ftp-ing straight into the root directory and searching from there. No idea why. 3) the installation quickly filled up the root slice and died. It was quick because I was installing over local ethernet - if I had been ftp-ing to a remote site, it would have _slowly_ filled up the root slice and died. Turned out that it wanted to put 40Mb of stuff into /mnt. Too much for me - my root slice is only 30Mb total! So I had to move /mnt to /usr and link it back and start again. Now I have 40Mb of stuff in /usr/mnt. If anyone can reassure me that it's safe to delete it, I'd be grateful :) That's it. Now I'm a happy bunny. Good luck to all.

I have a proposition along these lines. A local computer wholesaler here in Salt Lake City, LMP Microsystems, puts their own "badge" on the front of their computers. This is a nicely done badge with a clear cover over a background design, it is about 1/8 in thick, and 1 inch square, to fit the dimple on the front of practically every PC case in existence. One of my former employers, who sells customized PCs as boot servers for their control systems, uses this same supplier for their logo buttons as well. LMP has given me a contact at the company who makes these for them, and I am going to look into getting some FreeBSD buttons made up. Is this something that FreeBSD'ers are interested in? If I can get them for a dollar or two? If this is something of interest for FreeBSDers outside North America, I'd prefer to get a distributor on each continent to work with, so I don't have to worry about duties, shipping, money transfers, etc. all of the time. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Huh? You've miseed something. Multiple instances of a flag are often used by programs; debugging flags are often done this way. For instance, each -d raises the debugging level by one. Fixing getopt in the manner you suggest would break these programs. Your script command above should be exactly the same as running "script -a -b -b -c"; your program is just going to have to handle this. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I failed to mention that this "up" interface doesn't work. What you say makes sense, thanks. But the problem is that ppp -auto is failing to dial out despite this. I get "host name lookup failure" and "host unknown" messages when I try to telnet/ping/etc. Am I missing something? How do I make sure packets get routed across the tun0 interface, so that -auto will dial in for me?

We corresponded a bit in the past concerning my desire to help in testing your vfatfs project. At that time, you mentioned to me that in order to use the vfatfs, I would have to have obtained certain kernel updates that were available in 3.0-current. You also mentioned that those same updates would likely be available in 2.2 when it was to be released. Is this in fact the case? Will the official release of FreeBSD-2.2 be an adequate build for the vfatfs testing? In addition, do you know when a reasonable time would be to place an order for the 2.2-RELEASE on CDROM?

In sysinstall, I used the configure XFree86 option (graphical version) to configure X Windows. I have a Trident ProVidia 9685, which to be safe, I called "unsupported VGA compatible" for now, set the mouse, set the monitor to VGA 16 640X480. It tested the settings, loaded X, gave me a "congratulations -- you have a working X server" message. But when I run xdm, I get the following errors: xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed (--) VGA 16: There is no mode definition named "640 X 480" (--) VGA 16: Removing mode "640 X 480" from list of valid modes. Fatal server error: No valid modes found. xdm error (pid 174): IO Error in XOpenDisplay xdm error (pid 164): Display :0 cannot be opened xdm error (pid 164): Display :0 is being disabled The program decides the card is a 9680 series with 512K (instead of 2MB, BTW), but everything seems to go well until it tries the modes. During the process, I get several loud beeps, then it hangs the system. Why would the configuration program load X, tell me X is okay, if the various configuration files are faulty? Is there a way I can set things correctly without hacking the files? I searched the freebsd.org site, but didn't see anything about this problem. Is there some problem with the configuration program? Anyone on here knowledgable about X on FreeBSD 2.1.7-STABLE?

The card is old, at least a year or two, so it doesn't have the "newer" chipset. The card is connected to a 10/100mbs ethernet switch. When FreeBSD comes up, it "enables" the 10BaseT port, instead of the 100mbs port. Is there a way to get FreeBSD to force it to 100mbs instead of 10? I have verified that the port on the switch does 100mbs, by connecting other equipment to that port. But I haven't figured out how to tell FreeBSD to use it in the 100mbs mode.

However, doing so with /stand/sysinstall didn't work. My conguration is 2.2-BETA/GAMMA, build with a 'make world' from the sources, that I have upto CTM 135. I chose the '2.2-RELEASE' distributions in the options screen, but the error I got was that '2.2-RELEASE' was not found on the server. I tried both ftp.nl.net/ftp.nl.freebsd.org and ftp.freebsd.org. Both gave the same error message and then one about some distributions that couldn't be fetched (well, that figures). Sysinstall also gave very funny error messages concerning my /etc directory probably being corrupt after it couldn't be copied to ^T (?), and that no disk could be found (should be sd0, a Conner CFP1080S on an NCR 810 on an Asus P55T2P4).

I am having a hard time in finding cheap Ethernet repeaters with BNC ports, whereas 10 Mb/s HUBs with 10BaseT RJ45 ports are now available for about $15/port. Is it possible to connect the AUI port of a BNC transceiver to the Tx/Rx pairs of an RJ45 port and make the connection work ? (of course with an external power supply) I am asking because quite often I have seen RJ45 "transceivers" to be connected to the AUI port which are a block of plastic with only wires inside. The collision pair is evidently left unconnected, but this might work just because the AUI port on those ethernet cards is special. I am actually thinking of something different (and perhaps less critical), since the 10baseT port must be able to sense collisions via A the Rx/Tx pairs.

The book "Managing UUCP and Usenet" from O'Reilly and associates is a good starting point on how to set up and use UUCP and it's related utilities. However, Taylor UUCP has changed the configuration files; these new files are not documented in that book. I've heard rumors that a new edition is out, or on-the-way that documents the Taylor configuration files. In the meantime; Taylor UUCP can be configured to act like one of the other systems, e.g. HDB.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk For the past couple of months I've been using "ppp -background -alias isu-cs" to start up my PPP link from one of my home FreeBSD systems to the university (under FreeBSD 2.2-BETA and 2.2-GAMMA-970310); however, since I did my "make world" to install 2.2-RELEASE on that system, ppp with the above options doesn't connect properly. I have a dial chat script and a login chat script specified in the config file, and by logging to the ppp.log file, I see that ppp successfully dials, logs in, and executes the command to start ppp on the remote system. However, after it does that, it seems to run the dial chat script again (it sends the modem initialization string and waits for "OK"!). Meanwhile, the remote is sending ppp handshake information... Using "ppp -alias isu-cs" works, but I have to enter the system's ppp password and manually give the "dial" command. From CVS it looks like there were last-minute changes to ppp before 2.2-RELEASE that might have broken -background -- has anyone else noticed this and written a patch?

This is EXACTLY what happened to me last night when I changed out my old Toshiba 3401 CDROM for a Plextor 12X. It appears that the plextor sucks more power than the toshiba (in my case) and when they were on the same power feed from the supply, the HDD would time out. So, try making sure that wd1 is the only device on that internal power plug. As for the meaning of the errors, I ain't got a clue but I would DEFINATLY NOT use that drive until you're sure it's fixed.

I'm wondering if this is still true, and if so how would I go about relinking the X server with a better malloc library? I need to do this because I am buiding a FreeBSD box with only 16 Megs of memory that will need to run X for long periods of time unattended, and I'd like to avoid having to reboot the machine too often because of the X server's growth.

The Cryix is a pentium class machine, but it doesn't have all of the chipset commands that the Pentium has.

Intel has some proprietary commands in the Pentium that says 'Hey, I'm a Pentium!!', so a 6x86 (I also have a 6x86 166+) will always readout as a 486. A really really really FAST 486.

This is true. You have to either login and use 'startx' or: . add xdm to your /etc/rc.local . add '/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon' to /etc/ttys Whichever works for you. I found, with the Mach64 server, it didn't like being run from ttys, thus the rc.local option. Both will give you a X login prompt and use your ~/.xsession file for session prefs. startx will use ~/.xinitrc. > I tried to use /stand/sysinstall to configure the X stuff, but the program > doesn't seem to work.

Were you running this from the console? You can run the X setup program yourself by running '/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup' or the old text-mode one by running '/usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config'.

Besides, 1.2MB disks are pretty out-of-date; most machines just have a 3.5" drive. If you don't have one, you should get one; I saw an ad for one for $29.

I think I mentioned this before, but if you customized your kernel (like most of us do), then you have to do this. But if you're perfectly happy with GENERIC, bloated as it is, then you can skip it.

Perhaps. sysinstall for the pre-2.2 series was pretty solid though.

I certainly wouldn't want to force on upgrades to anyone -- we run some pretty old stuff on resnet, and if it was auto-upgraded we'd be in trouble. > >We've gone to the pain of doing this for you -- unless you have need to > >build from edited source, save yourself and your computer some aspirin. > > Uh, no.

The new installer doesn't even touch /etc, so any customizations are preserved. You'll still want to merge across sysconfig, otherwise you'll get odd ipx messages because of some new directives added to sysconfig. If an item is missing from sysconfig, the results are somewhat undefined, usually the missing item will be activated.

(of course with an external power supply) No. The transmission medium is entriely different. Coaxial cable requires different power levels and encoding. There's only one wire in there, and you need 4 for utp. The problem here is that BNC is designed as a "bus" topology, not a "star" medium like UTP. BNC hubs sort of 'short-circuit' this layout. I suspect it requires intricate circuitry to manage the ports, plus this sort of topolgy is very, very rare. Heck, Coax is pretty rare nowadays because it's such a pain to manage and is easy for one workstation to break the whole network (literally).

(of course with an external power supply) DataComm Warehouse sells a 4-port 10Base2 repeater for $199. I've used one of these before and it works just fine.

I suspect this won't work, but it'll only cost you two transcievers to find out. The AUI to BNC transcievers I've worked with get power from the AUI port, amongst other problems, so you can't just wire two of them back-to-back. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I just want to be able to copy these distributions from a MS-DOS Partitian to a BSD UNIX partitian s I can install them. I do not know how to do this and would appriciate some insight on the subject.

I have an unsupported CD-ROM Drive. I would like to install some of the programs in the Packages Distribution. The only choice I have to install from as a source is a DOS Partitian or from alot of floppies. I think it might intail the mounting of the MS-DOS partitian on the same drive. Do I need to mount the partitian to do this and if so how? Any help would be greatly appriciated and passed on to those who ask.

You make a directory on your drive C: called FREEBSD. Under that, copy all the distributions you want to install, the minimum being bin.

If you are refering to packages, the expedient thing would be to remake them, but I am not enough of a hack to really say. Only some what familiar with the libraries and their functions. Right now I am trying to track down a problem in a compiled program, but I plan to poke around around before posting. >The new installer doesn't even touch /etc, so any customizations are >preserved.

If I am reading this right, the new installer - when upgrading - will *not* do anything with /etc ?? Or are you referring to permissions? If it does nothing, then one would need to merge the current, but older files, but then where would the "new" /etc files be located. Just a touch confused at what you are saying here. 8-) I would expect when the binaries are updated that they go back to the default permissions. However I have seen a system with botched permissions. Rather irritating when /tmp is not mode 1777 (vi doesn't work) and sendmail does not have 2111 (hard to mail otherwise). This I cannot say was an install problem, as the box is a friends, so I'm not sure what happened. At least I fixed it. One would hope that if something were missing in sysconfig it would not be activated. Only on one install did I have a problem with this file, which was easily compared with a clean install of the same build. Still /etc/rc has: # If there is a global system configuration file, suck it in. if [ -f /etc/sysconfig ]; then . /etc/sysconfig fi So a missing item should not be activated and there are some '!=' ifs as well. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Mar 20 19:30:14 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA21593 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 20 Mar 1997 19:30:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from keystone.westminster.edu (fullermd@keystone.westminster.edu [204.171.15.203]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA21585 for ; Thu, 20 Mar 1997 19:30:07 -0800 (PST) Received: (from fullermd@localhost) by keystone.westminster.edu (8.8.4/8.6.12) id WAA17916; Thu, 20 Mar 1997 22:29:58 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 20 Mar 1997 22:29:57 -0500 (EST) From: "Matthew D.

That said, the procedure's pretty easy. I use FreeBSD2.1.6. I have a directory, /dos, which I use to mount my DOS partition, and floppies. I use the mount_msdos command, but I imagine you could use mount -t msdos. The format I use is: mount_msdos -m 500 /dev/(whatever) /dos the -m sets the mask to owner read/execute, so I don't accidentally screw my filesystem; I've heard rumors that FreeBSD has no real problems writing MSDOS filesystems, but I tend to stay on the safe side. as for which device, it should just be the first partition of wd0 or sd0, depending on whether you have an IDE or SCSI drive. for instance, wd0s1/sd0s1, but you can alway experiment. with the mask, you load it up as readonly, so you can't really damage your system. NOTE: umount /dev/(whatever) as soon as you're done. If your system crashes, (and maybe if it reboots, I'm not sure), while your DOS partition is mounted, your BSD partition may get quite screwed up. This has not, of course happened to me (really, it hasn't); it's not as if I mounted my DOS partition, crashed the system, and it truncated /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd, and all the backups of both, or anything like that, forcing me to reinstall my entire system. Of course not. Fair warning? Hope it helps!! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good. FreeBSD is our friend. UNIX is our god.| *Micro$oft is bad.

Try to guess based on where the partitions are relative to your primary DOS and your FreeBSD. Also, maybe MAKEDEV could be your solution. Look at the man page; that could be the easiest way; just make the wd0* devices that you don't have. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good.

Run /stand/sysinstall. I use the Custom installation option, but I've heard that you can use Express too. Just do the Partition and Label steps; with another hard drive, you'll have a choice of which device to partition; just use the new device; wd1 or sd1, probably. Setup a FreeBSD partition, and label it with the mount point. The alternative is to do it all manually; first, use disklabel(8) to set up the drive with the right geometry and FS type (4.2BSD), then use newfs to setup the filesystem, and finally use mount to mount the fs. Use disklabel to look at your already-mounted fs to get any variables you don't know, and other than that, guess. Format should have been taken care of at the factory; I'm not sure FreeBSD supports a way to format hard drives; other than erasing all the partition information and starting from scratch, which has the same effect. Anyway, if you futz around with the commands long enough, and look through enough man pages, you'll find the way.

I got many problems writing MSDOS-fs. Everytime I wrote on it, scandisk told me about lost chains. When I forgot to use scandisk, my partition really gets bad. One time I totally screwed it up. Since then I only use MSDOS-partitions as read only...:-( This is a bad situation, I'd like to write on it, but there are so few messages about the development of MSDOS-support, so it's too dangerous for me to try it again.

Maybe someone can tell me why it happens ? Or even maybe he or > she can tell me if it's ok now ? When I tried (awhile back), I seem to recall that FreeBSD completely ignored the FAT tables. Not good. Generally it's time to restore from backup once it happens since if your disk is fragmented at all it will overwrite file sections of files already on the disk.

First, when I first mount it, I get a messages on the console about 'root directory not a multiple of cluster size', or something like that. Then, sometime, when I unmount it (like just happened about 10 minutes ago), it screws up my BSD filesystem immesurably, Once, it even forced my to completely reinstall. So I generally don't even mount by DOS filesystem on the hard disk EVER!!! I even use the readonly mask, and it still screws the BSD filesystem. I haven't had any trouble with the DOS filesystem, but it could just be a matter of time. I would be VERY VERY VERY interested in hearing more about MSDOS filesystem support. If my meager programming abilities could help this endeavor, I'd glady donate some time, but it's presently a BAD situation with the DOS filesystem.

I restarted the inetd daemon, and tested it using a friends system that has a wrapper installed and irc. Both would not pick up on the username. The daemon does run however. So, per the documentation, I telnet'ed to port 113 of my localhost, found out the outgoing port and got this message: 1026 , 113 : ERROR : NO-USER What could be causing this?

That's the problem, it's port dependend i think. However, most of the progs, which have audio suppor have a switch to compile it with NAS support instead of /dev/audio. The ports I've tested are xboing, xgalaga, xfaces, mpeg_play (don't remember more in the moment). All of these only need the NAS package installed and a flag set in the I/Makefile. Perhaps it would be more simple to have an directory called NAS with a special configure script for each NAS-able port, and links to the 'normal' port files without NAS. The corresponding packages could be called xboing-2.3-nas.tgz for egsample. So the only work which have to be done is to lock at the ports and write the small configure/patch file which enables NAS for the prog.

The impression I've gotten is that 2.1.7 (2.1.7.1?) is recommended over 2.2 for systems that need 100% reliability. 2.2 is supposed to have some nice features like better Linux and SCO support (and I think I heard something about native AppleTalk over ethernet support) so if you need those kind of features, 2.2 is where to go. > > Thanks for reply > Ciao > Davide > > ------- > Dott.

Work on a msdosfs replacement, which can also handle VFAT, is fairly near completion.

OK; first, edit the /etc/remote file to contain your modem. Assuming your modem is on COM1 (DOS), it should look something like this: cuaa0|whatever_else_you_want_to_call_it:\ :dv=/dev/cuaa0:br#9600:pn=@: The br# sets the baud rate; I usually use 9600 for doing settings, since it's plenty fast enough. That done, you need to go to root, and send the init string. Since I don't have the code to save settings to my modem's firmware, I have to do this everytime I bootup. It looks something like this: root>tip cuaa1 (my modem's on COM2) connected at&c1&d3&k3&q6 s0=1 (This sets auto-answer, speed negotiation, etc.) ~. (this won't show up; it closes the connection) root> look at the man pages for tip and remote, if you have any more problems.

I haven't run out yet, but there have been some problems when files are copied via an NFS mount. Have to rebuild and see if this was indeed the problem.

I am a member of The Young Scientists (De Jonge Onderzoekers), Eindhoven, The Netherlands. I bought FreeBSD a few weeks ago, and I have a BIG (...) problem. I have a 3C509 Ethernet network card, and FreeBSD reconizes it perfectly. When I boot FreeBSD using my arranged kernel, FreeBSD says it has the Ethernet address is 0020AF2F46C0. According to the installation program on the disk, 3C5X9CFG, the Ethernet address is 00608C2F46C0. As you see, there is a small difference between these results. When I load ftpd, it bombs out with the error "socket operation on non-socket". I tried to reload inetd, but it gives me a list of already used sockets, and ftp is in that list. When I use netstat -i (or -a, I can't remember), the number of packets on ep0, that's my 3C509 card, the number is always incrementing. Can you please help me solving this problem?

After disabling the wt driver so that it didn't detect the 3com as a tape drive, the 3c509 probes as follows: 1 3C5x9 board(s) on ISA found at 0x300 ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on ISA ep0: aui/utp/bnc[*AUI*] address 00:20:af:4f:6b:88 Things looked like they were doing OK, until it tried to access the FTP server. It actually managed to do a little talking to the FTP server (it got the banner and one time it managed to send the USER message and get the response), but it always ends up saying: Couldn't open FTP connection to beta.xerox.com: Unknown error. Now, I know it's managing to send at least a few packets, since it resolves beta.xerox.com and it sometimes opens the TCP connection, but I can't ping it, implying that there's something hokey going on with the ethernet card. Is there anything special that I can do with the 3c509 to get it to work, or should I go out and find a real ethernet card? Is there any way to find out how the 3c509 is configured; I just got this machine handed to me without any real info and I wiped the Linux partition before I realized I might need the configuration info from it. My vague suspicion is that the IRQ is wrong.

I have used my DOS filesystem extensively in FreeBSD, reading, writing, using Unix zip and unzip, etc. My only complaint is the ^M character that pops up in text files due to DOS/Unix differences. I've not had any errors pop up in FreeBSD or DOS, including lost sectors, etc. IMHO FreeBSD's DOS support is in great shape.

Here are the various entries...any help would be appreciated. /etc/exports on the linux box: /data/apache/WWW bsdbox(rw) mount command that I gave on my FreeBSD box: mount_nfs -P linuxbox:/data/apache/WWW /nfs/linuxbox/WWW I've even tried making sure uid and gid were the same on both machines.

The FreeBSD version is 2.2-RELEASE running on a Gateway mini-desktop 486/dx2 66 machine. (motherboard Intel Classic R MBD 0048B02) When i try to connect using ppp or kermit, the system hangs. With PPP dial or term commands, it waits for ever and i never get back the control. I have to resort to hardware RESET. During boot-up time it sees the port sio2 and recognizes that it as 16550A. On the same system, i had used USR 14.4kbps data modem without any problem. I have been trying to find a fix and would appreciate your suggestions. (PS.

I have trimmed down the drivers list to just those devices, and have tried swapping out the VGA adapter. The floppy installation program has not trouble finding the SCSI controller. 2.2 installs very happily from the floppy, and walks me through the novice configuration. I tell it to use the whole disk for FreeBSD and make the partition bootable; I use the Automatic volume setup, etc. (trying to make it as pure and generic as possible). The installation program gets the files from freeBSD.org, etc., reboots, and then: >>FreeBSD BOOT @0x10000: 640/15360k of memory Usage [[[0:][wd](0,a)]/kernel][-abcCdghrsv] Use 1:sd(0,a)kernel to boot sd0 if it is BIOS drive 1 Use ? for file list or press Enter for defaults Boot: dosdev= 80, biosdrive= 0, unit= 0, maj= 0 Can't find kernel It repeats the last three lines forever, though it pauses if I try typing in something after the "Boot:" prompt. I have not yet found the magic word to get past the prompt (assuming there is one). The only reason I can suspect is that the BIOS does not know, until the SCSI adapter wakes up, that it has a hard disk attached. Still, the adapter is fully awake--else there wouldn't be enough FreeBSD around to complain about not finding its kernel. Advice, sympathy, and dumb jokes will all be appreciated.

Being on a third drive should not matter...you do, however, need to make sure you marked the third drive as *bootable*... also....even though FreeBSD can use EIDE drives, the entire root dir must be below the 1024 limit.

I found the Diamond page. The NetCommander is just a passive ISDN card, no big deal. These things are a-dime-a-dozen here in Europe, from other vendors, e.g. Teles, Creatix, Dr. Neuhaus, AVM. And they only cost about $ 100. AFAIK the only existing drivers are for said European cards. I'm not aware that other drivers are in the works, but I don't know what's happening outside of Europe. A good starting point might be the existing bisdn stuff, which has support for passive cards. You might want to take a look at it. ftp://ftp.muc.ditec.de/isdn/bisdn0.97.tgz (or something similar) The driver for passive cards is teles.c. - --- Gary Jennejohn Home - Gary.Jennejohn@munich.netsurf.de Work - gjennejohn@frt.dec.com From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 22 05:33:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id FAA24682 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 22 Mar 1997 05:33:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from python.shoal.net.au (andrew@python.shoal.net.au [203.26.44.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA24675 for ; Sat, 22 Mar 1997 05:33:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (andrew@localhost) by python.shoal.net.au (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA11888; Sat, 22 Mar 1997 23:33:19 +1000 (EST) Date: Sat, 22 Mar 1997 23:33:19 +1000 (EST) From: Andrew Perry To: John Kelly cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: New install of 2.2 won't boot In-Reply-To: <33333ED9.24DE@unx.berkeley.edu> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk OK, is this is a SCSI hard disk drive?

"Simple operations" does not include renaming a directory. I have a small (320MB) FAT-formatted disk. If I have a directory /dos/D/freebsd/xf32 (== D:\FREEBSD\XF32), and I do cd /dos/D/freebsd mv xf32 xf8632 it ends up cross-linking the directory and not actually renaming it. I end up with a circular directory reference. In the directory D:\FREEBSD\XF32 is a subdirectory XF32 which is actually the parent directory. Nothing tragic - CHKDSK or SCANDISK can fix it, but it doesn't really work. So I stopped trying to rename MSDOS directories while runing freebsd. -jay From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Mar 22 06:48:23 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA26619 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 22 Mar 1997 06:48:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from onyx.interactive.net (root@onyx.interactive.net [208.192.224.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA26614 for ; Sat, 22 Mar 1997 06:48:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from luddite.org (host019.madison.interactive.net [208.192.224.119]) by onyx.interactive.net (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id JAA01086; Sat, 22 Mar 1997 09:48:14 -0500 (EST) Received: (from sachs@localhost) by luddite.org (8.8.3/8.8.3) id JAA00272; Sat, 22 Mar 1997 09:56:54 -0500 (EST) To: questions@FreeBSD.org Cc: Daniel Duerr Subject: Re: PPP dial-on-demand question References: X-Face: 6!-I&o^[[HP+0~O~}d2Zf@Pbof:|>j5^*W$QOR"&)JYcHT.@-"AhAXLg3vioV79Ri3JMp/a e3QD@Z$1Ot@'j1/A Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.101) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII From: Jay Sachs Date: 22 Mar 1997 09:56:53 -0500 In-Reply-To: Andrew Perry's message of Fri, 21 Mar 1997 19:42:19 +1000 (EST) Message-ID: <87pvwsasay.fsf@luddite.org> Lines: 34 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.4.33/XEmacs 19.14 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Andrew Perry writes: > also, i've tried shelling out of ppp, usually the connection hangs for me > too, this may mean that when you shell out of ppp that it no longer works > (open to suggestions though).

I had a similar problem, except with libjpeg.so.5.1, et. al. When I made symlinks in /usr/lib with the same name as the files, which were actually located in /usr/local/lib, the problem was fixed. I'll bet your problem can be fixed by making symlinks where those files are expected to reside. Do "find / -name libXm.so.2.0" to see where it is, and then link it to /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.2.0. That might do it. Good luck!

If you select the 4X setting, then whatever you select in software will be quadrupled. So, you would set the card to 4X, and open the port in FreeBSD at 115,200 bps, and get a actual DTE speed of 460,800 bps.

During my three tries, I was prompted at the end of the upgrade with this message: Couldn't extract the following distributions: bin catpages and Hmmmm. We couldn't even extract the bin distribution. This upgrade should be considered a failure and started from the beginning, sorry. I selected just about everything for installation, bin included. On the third attempt I decided to fix up the /etc files anyway. All seems ok now, and the new kernel is stable, however I noticed a few things: 1) /etc has permissions of 700 (drwx------). I changed this to 755, since 'ls -l' as a normal user displayed user/group ID's in numeric form. And the man pages could not be displayed. Chmod to 755 has corrected this. 2) Every 'pwd', 'ls' or 'cd' to a directory that wasn't in my ownership or group caused the following message to be displayed to ttyv0: login: Mar 22 19:23:44 jbarrm: /etc/pwd.db: Permission denied Again, changing /etc to 755 seems to have stopped this. 3) I have two different time stamps displayed in the messages file: Mar 22 14:10:40 jbarrm sshd[130]: log: RSA key generation complete. Mar 22 14:11:00 jbarrm login: login on ttyv1 as jbarrm Mar 22 19:11:08 jbarrm ls: /etc/pwd.db: Permission denied Mar 22 19:11:30 jbarrm last message repeated 2 times Mar 22 19:13:10 jbarrm last message repeated 3 times Mar 22 14:13:47 jbarrm login: login on ttyv2 as jbarrm Mar 22 19:13:51 jbarrm ls: /etc/pwd.db: Permission denied Mar 22 14:14:11 jbarrm su: jbarrm to root on /dev/ttyv2 Mar 22 19:14:26 jbarrm ls: /etc/pwd.db: Permission denied My questions are: 1) Should I have been able to extract the bin distribution from the 2.1.7 Security Release CD during the upgrade? 2) Whats going on with the two different time stamps? 3) Are the permissions 700 for /etc a new security feature? Or is 755 the correct setting?

I'll answer with the caveat that this is my opinion that developed over the past three years following them both as well as other commercial OSs. Those of you offended in any way by this, please cat flames > /dev/null. That said -- the differences between FreeBSD and Linux can best be understood in the context of American politics. There are essentially two philosophies: Republican (FreeBSD) and Democrat (Linux). The FreeBSD organization is a republican structure -- we have our say as users, but the final decisions devolve to the core team who take the final responsibility for their decisions. FreeBSD takes a conservative approach. In other words, better things should work correctly at the expense of a minorities desires, than to please all of the people all of the time and have unexpected components of the OS breaking on a regular basis. We are free to vote our approval or disapproval by changing our OS. Linux is a democratic group. There is no single authority to accept final responsibility except for Linus as it relates to the kernel. Linux adopted early on a consensus approach (POSIX, etc.). In a sense, Linux is much like current Democratic politics -- the mob pretty much rules. The end result is that there is really no such thing as Linux -- there are distributions that use the Linux kernel and from then on you have essentially different operating systems. Slackware, for example, doesn't look at all like Red Hat. Describing Linux is much like describing Mach. (There isn't much - both are just micro kernels. _Anything_ can be implemented over them.) So as I see it, it comes down to this: vote for the philosophy that appeals to you. I use FreeBSD because I rely on my machine for many other uses besides tinkering with operating systems. FreeBSD doesn't change the world on me every 6 months. Linux is in constant change. New things are showing up all the time. If you like tinkering with operating systems and having things that used to work break, Linux may be your answer. If you don't know Unix -- pick one and get started. You'll learn how to pick the best choice. No matter which one you pick, it will be infinitely better that Micros**t anything. Enjoy. -- Jay On Fri, 21 Mar 1997, Jeff Roberts wrote: ->On Fri, 21 Mar 1997, Bob Dole wrote: -> ->> Hi, I plan on changing to UNIX and I wonder wether I should take Linux or ->> FreeBSD... ->> Both seem to be an excellent choice, so you can't say one is better than ->> the other.

If you would like to send me a printout of your ppp.conf ppp.linkup I will see what I can do to help Two errors I made were having linux emulation on with and using /etc/ppp (check handbook under Linux Emulation) and configuring the tun device in sysconfig (which Doug White straightened me out on) which is cofigured by ppp at execution. I hope this helps, if not send me what you can and I will do what I can to help. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ **For Windows viewing set to System Font** @ ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º ÛßßßßßÜ ÜßßßßßÜ ÛÞÜ ÞÞ Û ßßßßßß ÛßßßßßÜ ÞÝ ÛÞÜ ÞÞ ÞÞÝ ÜßßßßßßÜ º º ÛÞßßßßÜÞ ÛÞßßßÝÛ ÛÞÞÝ ÞÞ Ý ßßÛÞßß ÛÞßßßÝÛ ÛÛ ÛÞÞÝ ÞÞ ÞÞÝ ÛÞßßßßÝÛ º º ÛÞ ÛÞ ÛÞ ÝÛ ÛÞ Û ÞÞ ß ÛÞ ÛÞÜÜÜÝÛ ÞÝÞÝ ÛÞ Û ÞÞ ÞÞÝ ÛÞ º º ÛÞ ÛÞ ÛÞ ÝÛ ÛÞ ÞÝÞÞ ÛÞ ÛÞÜÜÜÜß ÛÜÜÛ ÛÞ ÞÝÞÞ ÞÞÝ ÛÞ º º ÛÞÜÜÜÜßÞ ÛÞÜÜÜÝÛ ÛÞ ÛÞÞ ÛÞ ÛÞ ÞÝÜÜÞÝ ÛÞ ÛÞÞ ÞÞÝ ÛÞÜÜÜÜÝÛ º º ÛÜÜÜÜÜß ßÜÜÜÜÜß ÛÞ ÞÛÞ ÛÞ ÛÞ Û Û ÛÞ ÛÞ ÞÞÝ ßÜÜÜÜÜÜß º ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÑÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ º ùùùù---------==========ðððððPowered By FreeBSD http://www.freebsd.org º º Kevin G.

RTFM, checked the mail archives, compiled a kernel with sound support using a modified version of the soundblaster driver (port 330, irq 5). The kernel compiled just fine, but my card is still not detected. The problem? If I understand one of the messages in the mail archive aright, as well as the implications of the ensoniq manual, this sound board has to be software initialized. Someone wrote a DOS program to do just that; he runs the program and then warm reboots into FreeBSD. A similar thing happens when you play DOS games that need a soundblaster compatible board but can't run in a window under WIN 95. In other words, you exit Windows, restart in DOS mode, and this initializes a new set of DOS drivers for the ensoniq soundscape. This is really more trouble than I care to go through. Anybody know how to initialize this card from the FreeBSD kernel? Any ideas--and then I'll drop the subject:) Michael
