There are, of course a few ways to do it. Most of them have been mentioned already. Netatalk, CAP etc... I use MacPPP and MacTCP on my Macintosh Classic. I connect it to my FBSD system via a serial link. It's a bit slow but I'm stuck with it I guess. :-) Ethernet is definitely the way to go if possible. Unfortunately a majority of the recent software doesn't run on my Mac Classic (limited to System 6) but NCSA telnet and Fetch do everything I need. As an alternative to TCP/IP, there are a few free, and commercial, UUCP packages available with email/news readers to match. These are ideally suited to offline access but they can be good if you can't get networking software to work on an older mac. Check out your favorite mac ftp archive for those bits and pieces and, also, read the book "Using and Managing UUCP" published my O'Reilly & Associates. I've just picked up my copy from my local book shop and I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty. :-) Hope this helps. Cheers, Joel...

I use the 170MB tapes and I haven't had any problems so far. I have also read reports of the Jumbo 250 working without modifications to the kernel. The lft program is a "must have" if you're going with a QIC-80 drive. > NO GUARANTEES THIS WILL WORK WITH YOUR TAPE! They are highly propietary. > SCSI tapes are the way to go, if possible. I have to agree with Doug here but, on the other side, I do know how you feel about the cost. Cost made my decision for me - it was either QIC-80 or floppy disks ;->. It's worth thinking about because the QIC-80 tapes are much more expensive than 4mm or 8mm DAT tapes, which can store gigabytes. If reliability/security is an issue then SCSI is the way to go. If you end up with a Jumbo 350, send me an email and I will forward you the patch to get it going with the 170MB tapes. Good luck. I hope this helps. Cheers, Joel...

Everything gets recognized, and teh machine boots and works fine. My problem lies in the fact that (although I have tried what books and man say) I cannot get an FTP login to chroot() so that their directory looks like the root in their FTP client. I've been through different books about Linux and Unix, and cannot seem to make it work. I've asked other users of FreeBSD but they don't seem to want to help. When the client logs in it says version 6.0 of ftp. I'm not sure that this is the correct FTP for the feature, and I fdon't know how to tell.

Some might call you a communist, but you can and probably should filter ICMP ping to dial-up from the world, not internal, as you may want to see if someone is alive. You may be able to protect dial-ups from each other.

Just for fun the other day I flooded a friend as he was checking mail, poof, ring, "yes..", or sorry did you mail timeout? "No route to host" works better. If you logged it, did you send a message to the owner?

And it should be, along with a slew of other things to filter. One thing I like for security on 2.2.1 was the default inetd.conf with almost all services commented out. The log for ports related to NFS is growing and I've found some hits to RADIUS recently, as well as the usual spoofing in or out and mail to websites is on the rise, which is just another reason why I don't allow MX for www. and once customers understand it, they like it. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 13 12:13:36 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA19531 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 13 Apr 1997 12:13:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from albert.osu.cz (albert.osu.cz [193.84.224.12]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA19513; Sun, 13 Apr 1997 12:13:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (belkovic@localhost) by albert.osu.cz (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id VAA00868; Sun, 13 Apr 1997 21:14:16 GMT Date: Sun, 13 Apr 1997 21:14:16 +0000 (GMT) From: Josef Belkovics To: freebsd-questions@freeBSD.ORG cc: freebsd-bugs@freeBSD.ORG Subject: IPXrouted sources Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Can me somebody e-mail sources for IPXrouted.

A few days ago, a user received a mail with a size of 8 MB. I only became aware of the problem due to a "mailer local died with signal 11" in the syslog. I tried to track the problem by running sendmail -q. I saw procmails memory gowing up to 15MB and than the system began to swap. Shortly later I got the above syslog message and the mail delivery was aborted. Trying the same on a 2.2.1 machine with 64MB RAM worked properly. Even a 2.1.7 machine with 16MB worked OK. Is this a procmail failure, a kernel error or something different?

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.

FreeBSD can emulate Linux well enough to run Netscape, Doom, Quake, and Executor (a mac emulator for Linux). I don't think there is any form of compatibility with Solaris, though. FreeBSD also emulates SCO and runs BSD/OS binaries natively. And there's no shortage of native apps either. Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."

(20bytes/sec) This was on a 2.2-STABLE system using kernel ppp with an mtu/mru size of 296. To find the solution I tried a few things, one of them i bumped the mru/mtu up to 552. This instantly brought translated througput to 1.9-2.3k/sec which is acceptable on a 28.8 connect. I then brought down the ethernet mtu to 552, this increased the reaction time somewhat, and possibly raised througput alittle more. User ppp might also suffer from this, my personal recommendation now is to keep the mtu/mru sizes the same between the translated interfaces.

Many programs with available source can be ported and compiled for use on FreeBSD. In addition, most Linux (a.out & ELF) and SCO binaries can be run directly under the appropriate emulators. Plus, programs with BSDi BSD/OS, NetBSD, and OpenBSD targets will compile under FreeBSD with little or no changes. If you are wondering if some program will work under FreeBSD, consult the FreeBSD Ports Tree at http://www.freebsd.org/ports, or ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-xxxx where xxx is your version (2.2, current). Hope this helps.

We've got two FreeBSD servers (2.2.1R and 2.1.7R) on a loaded 10baseT hub. I've noticed the following behavior: server load is usually 0, but in a single second will spike to something > 1. Since this is a one-minute average, this would indicate that there was a _huge_ load spike during the period of one second. This happens quite often on both computers: 4:01PM up 18 days, 19:06, 2 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.02, 0.08 4:01PM up 18 days, 19:06, 2 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.02, 0.08 4:01PM up 18 days, 19:06, 2 users, load averages: 1.76, 0.39, 0.21 4:02PM up 18 days, 19:06, 2 users, load averages: 1.62, 0.38, 0.21 4:02PM up 18 days, 19:06, 2 users, load averages: 1.49, 0.37, 0.21 Any ideas on what could be causing this behavior? Or is 'uptime' just inaccurate? Maybe a software configuration problem? Could this be happening if the hub is completely maxed out, and FreeBSD is having to trash packets due to excessive collisions? Netstat reports an average of 50-100 collisions per second at 50k-100k network traffic per second. Both servers run Apache 1.2b6, but the web servers aren't heavily loaded. One runs named; the other does not. One is a PPro 200, 512k, 64mb, 3Com PCI The other is a Pentium 200, 256k, 64mb, Intel PCI Any help would be appreciated.

FreeBSD does not support PnP, so you must disable it and hand-set the settings with the setup program provided with the card. I don't even know if the Pro/10 is even supported.

You are warned that doing this disables 'dir' and other external commands unless everyone has the 'ls' command in ~/bin. You may want to find a different way of doing this. If your perms are set right then having your authorized maintainers wandering around should _not_ be a problem. I believe the way to achieve this behavior is to embed a '.' in their home directory path as specified in the password database. So, if I wanted to chroot my homedir, then I would have /home/dwhite/./ as my homedir spec. > When the client logs in it says version 6.0 of ftp.

What can I do to fix this? Did you make install it? If you got the port, it should appear OK. The garbled output usually results from a miscue between top and the current kernel structures.

That isn't true. :) You can specify Windows 95 to *use* a certain setting instead of letting Windows (/PnP) decide everything. I do this in my PC. I have non-PnP ISA Soundblaster Pro and 3com 3c509, and a PnP SB32. I just went into my BIOS, disabled the particular IRQs the non-PnP cards were set to, and *told* win95 to use certain settings for my PnP SB32 card. It complains saying it can no longer figure things out, but then, it doesn't do a crash hot job in the first place. (For a laugh, try autodetecting a non-PnP NE2000 clone and see how many times Win95 gets the IRQ right :) I think people trust PnP too much.

It means that the ethernet controller is set up so that it receives *all* frames coming in on the wire, not just those intended for this host. This is normally used only if you want to monitor then network, as it loads your CPU with the (otherwise unnecessary) job of filtering those frames.

I installed FreeBSD 2.1.7 using my own local network. I installed FreeBSD on a new empty disk. I started to install and after reboot I couldn't kick in to FreeBSD. Normally you see: F1 BSD F2 etc. But this time I saw: F? BSD I tried to use not the entire disk for FreeBSD but all thing failed. So I tried for the last time to make a partition of 30 MB for DOS and the next for FreeBSD. And from that time Boot Easy works. Is this normall behavior ?? Create first another non FreeBSD partition and then a FreeBSD partition ?? If Yes, this is a big mistake in Boot Easy.

Sorry, I haven't got time to read my mails. So you've found the answer, but if it is true, it's a bug in /bin/sh. The ``return'' command has to return the status of the previous command, if return hasn't got a parameter.

This has its legitimate uses, but you should discover who was doing this. Promiscuous mode _requires_ root privliges by default.

Agreed, 2.1.6 and later should support this (not sure about the video card). I've got a similar setup here, but with an S3 868 video card and an ASUS motherboard. Works flawlessly, and is easily the fastest machine in the building.

The partition editor doesn't seem to get the bios geometry right (supposedly 2796/16/63) although it lets me change it. Then when I use C to create a partition a menu pops up wanting the partition type and the box is totally dead at that point. Is this NEC a no-win? The IDE controller is listed as OPTI Dual PCI.

Increasing the delay to 1000000 (brute force) works, and some lower values would likely work as well, but I didn't have time to do a binary search for the new boundary. A better fix would be to make read_eeprom_data() call f_is_eeprom_busy() after the DELAY(1000). ...Sam -- -- Scalable Network Systems Ltd.

They took out a few of the more expensive, hard-working chips, and made your computer's CPU do the work. That's why you need to load their special software and you need at least a Pentium to get high connect speeds. You're pretty much stuck with Windows. --Ludwig Pummer ----------------------------------------------------------------- ludwigp@sns.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org http://www.sns.com/~ludwigp <--^-- Updated 11/22/96 PGP Key & Geek Code available on web page From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Apr 14 17:43:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA28520 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 14 Apr 1997 17:43:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from papillon.lemis.de ([203.239.92.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA28482; Mon, 14 Apr 1997 17:43:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: (grog@localhost) by papillon.lemis.de (8.8.4/8.6.12) id IAA00237; Tue, 15 Apr 1997 08:26:25 +0900 (KST) From: grog@lemis.de Message-Id: <199704142326.IAA00237@papillon.lemis.de> Subject: Re: Where is Sendmail PID?

My sendmail shows: -r-sr-xr-x 3 root bin 266240 Dec 11 18:19 /usr/sbin/sendmail This is 3.0-CURRENT as of some time ago. I suspect that your permissions are different: either your sendmail doesn't belong to root, or it doesn't have setuid permission (the s in the permissions string). You can fix this in a number of ways: set sendmail permissions as above, or if your sendmail is running happily without being root, you could change the permissions of /var/run to 775 (if your sendmail is group bin) or 777 (otherwise; maybe not a good idea). On the other hand, touching /var/run/sendmail.pid won't work past a boot, since the boot process removes everything there.

Can you suggest one? Scott ------- Good afternoon, My name is Scott C. Kennedy and I am on the board of director's for BEACH L.I.S.A - the San Diego System Administrators Group. BEACH L.I.S.A. will be having a special meeting in May to discuss the various UNIX implementations available for the Intel x86 platform. I'd like to see if I can arrange for a local representative for your Unix implementation to speak. If you cannot provide one, please let me know if you have a consultant in the area who is willing to speak on your behalf. Each speaker will be asked to give a 10 min presentation on their implementation, they are free to say anything they like during their presentation, but I'd suggest staying within the realms of good taste. (ie. no competitor bashing) After the presentations, we will have a Q&A period which will allow the audience to ask questions. Here's the excerpt from our Web Page. http://www.beachlisa.org/meetings.shtml#MAY May 20th. War of the Intel Unixes Experts from the partisian camps of BSD, Linux and Solaris, all on Intel, will square off in a panel discussion of who has the better Unix. Perhaps the only thing they'll agree on is that any of them are better than Microsoft Windows. The meeting will start at 7pm and is expected to end about 9pm. The meeting facilites will be the Qualcomm Auditorium, which seats approximately 300 people. Video projectors, whiteboards, slide projectors, overhead transparencies, and LCD projectors will be available for use. Please let us know which you may need and I will make sure they are prepared for you. So far, I have tentative commitments from Solaris x86 - SunSoft or a local SE/CE Linux - Local Linux User group BSDI - Joe Austin SCO Unix - Unknown Included is the timeline. I hope that you can arrange for someone to attend. Apr 14th - 5:30 pm : This letter May 12th - 6:00 pm : Final deadline for participants. May 13th - 1:00 pm : Press Release sent to local media.

For the PC it is a conventional ISA card which occupies 64 KB at the physical address 0xd0000. It is very easy to access this memory location and by this parts of the VMEbus using /dev/mem and mmap(). Everything works fine. But now the problem: For our applications a memory window of 64 KB is to small. We need access to several megabytes. The interface allows to move this window to any location in the VMEbus address space. But for that purpose special programming is needed which is not acceptable in our case because we want to use exisiting software which can't be rewritten. This software uses the interface of SunOS/Solaris where a special memory device (e.g. /dev/vmed16a24) can be mmaped and allows in a very simple way memory mapped i/o on the complete VMEbus from any user applicaiton. Now I want to install a similar device which is compatible to the Sun solution. It will never be used by read/write i/o but only by mmaped i/o. It shall be able to do a dynamic remapping of the VMEbus window every time an address is accessed which is out of the current 64 KB window using the page fault mechanism. Is this possible? Unfortunately I found no solution of a similar problem in any existing device driver of FreeBSD. Are there any other examples? What's about documentation of kernel software? I will thank you for any hints to solve this problem.

This might be better answered on -hackers. I also want to do similar things with a Pentium Single Board Computer with a PCI<->VME bridge chip. The bridge chip acts like a normal PCI device and allows you to use memio/port IO to access it's registers, but you've got to be able to map 16MB chunks of PCI address space to the VMEbus. This isn't something that can be automatically detected at probe time by our current PCI code, AFAIK. This bridge chip, a Tundra Universe (docs fully available from www.tundra.com), allows up to 5 PCI slave images. One of these is a special PCI slave image that maps 4 consecutive 16Mbyte regions of the VMEbus. The Tundras registers allow you to map any 64MB PCI address space to any 64MB VME space when using this special slave image. My intent is to also create the /dev/vmed16a16 and /dev/vmed16a24 devices (and driver, obviously) so that you mmap/read/write to the VMEbus through the special slave image. The problem I have, is that if I create a driver for this chip, how do I ask the PCI support code for 4 consecutive 16MB regions of the PCI bus? From what I can tell, the PCI code will only let you map an address space as it is defined in the PCI configuration space registers. For the Tundra Universe chip, the registers that configure the special PCI slave image are not in the PCI configuration space. This bridge chip also lets one catch VMEbus interrupts and generates a PCI interrupt. The PCI interrupt handler can then check the registers of Universe to find out what the VMEbus interrupt priority and acknowldge were. This is going to be one of my pet projects when I get some time. We've got a few of these Pentium PCI/VME boards at work, and expect to be doing some FreeBSD development on them sometime in the next few months. We've also got a few Force Technologies SPARC SBCs with SBUS<->VMEbus interface chips. Force supplied a VME nexus driver for Solaris which uses the /dev/vmed16a16, /dev/vmed16a24, and /dev/vmed32a32 which you also mention above. I'd like to model a FreeBSD driver after the Force driver, at least for the mem mapping.

The obvious question this raises is: How do you do address space conflict resolution if you ignore the assignments made by the PCI BIOS? It is possible to map any arbitrary physical address range when not using the PCI map routine. In fact if you use a device driver to do this (via the device mmap interface, which uses the VM "device pager"), the PCI mapping code wouldn't be involved in any case. For examples of this, look at the handling of /dev/vga (ttyv0...syscons.c...scmmap()).

Try moving your modem to COM2 or COM1. Since COM3 shares an IRQ w/ COM1, and 4 w/ 2, it can cause conflicts. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good.

I synced and rebooted it after about 5 days of operation (do-nothing operation, except for cron jobs and the like, and minor edits with vi) and it wouldn't come up fully (config files like "sysconfig" in /etc were almost all corrupt) .. managed to fsck and countless errors came up, so I trashed the disk, and reinstalled on a 1.2 GB Fujitsu drive. Before installing on the original Maxtor drive I checked it for any bad blocks and it was clean so that shouldnt be an issue. The new drive seems to be okay so far but it's only been up 2 days. Any ideas on what's causing this apparently random file corruption would be mucho appreciated.

Anyway, one thing you might want to look for are sources from the ports. That could take up a bit of space. also, check on how your space is divided up amoung your partitions, and see if you aren't losing a bunch of space there. Or, you can get a Western Digital 2.1 gig EIDE drive for about $200; that's what I'm doing as soon as I sell a Pentium 133... :) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good.

"Oh, that poor overworked modem. Let's share the load with the CPU." Blah! Netscape Personal Edition states that if you have an RPI modem to return NPE for a refund. Considering how long DSPs have been around, it is just amazing that modems don't use them. Sportsters and Couriers use DSP, but Sportsters get warm. Not sure why the pump 20VAC into a 5 V regulator, but I'd need a circuit diagram and someone tested them and they don't work if the volatage in drops below 18VAC. Another example of getting what you pay for and tech hype. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990 From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 15 02:06:51 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA27832 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 15 Apr 1997 02:06:51 -0700 (PDT) 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 CAA27827 for ; Tue, 15 Apr 1997 02:06:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (fullermd@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id CAA25861; Tue, 15 Apr 1997 02:06:50 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 15 Apr 1997 02:06:50 -0700 (PDT) From: The Devil Himself To: Tim Tsai cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: rlogin ports In-Reply-To: <199704150835.DAA08131@shell.futuresouth.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 Tue, 15 Apr 1997, Tim Tsai wrote: > What ports are used when a client makes a rlogin request to a remote > host? > > We are having trouble with rlogin to a remote host.

Check that you have execute rights to that file, say; chmod 755 a.out. once you've made sure of that, then you've fallen into the classic UNIX hole that everyone, especially me, has fallen into more times than we care to think about.

I think it's either README or INSTALL, or something like that. It's an excellent guide. Essentially, you have to move all the .tgz files into the directory /usr, then unzip and untar one by one, or batch. I do this: tcsh>sh # for i in bin cfg (whatever other files; ignore the X32 and the .tgz; just the stuff in the middle; make sure the case is right) doc fnts; do >gzip -d X32$i.tgz | tar -xvf >done The system will churn for a while, then be done. Then you have to go into /usr/X11R6/bin, and run the XF86Setup program. It will step you through setting up your mouse, video, etc. Once that's all setup, you just type 'startx' to start it up. Again, refer to that README or INSTALL.TXT or whatever file that is; it'll prob tell you a lot more than I can or you need to know, but it's nice.

Right. There should probably be a resource list to manage these addresses. Drivers would have to call a set of common functions in order to allocate PCI address space. The Tundra Universe chip shares the PCI bus with a DEC 21240 and an Adaptec 7880, so I can't allocate an address range without ensuring it doesn't conflict. > It is possible to map any arbitrary physical address range when not using > the PCI map routine.

This one came on one long line of text, which is very difficult to read. Next, verify that your NT RAS server is using, or allows, PAP authentication. Before you connect with PPP, give PPP the command "set openmode active".

I checked things out and RFC certainly does imply that this is a no-no. In RFC 950, RFC 943 this referenced as justification for this. RFC does not seem to use imperitive language (you shall or you must) but something much less harsh, as in "When called for, the address zero is to be interpreted as meaning "this", as in this network." This policy seems a bit strange to me. For example, take a subnet mask 255.255.255.128 on a class C network (ie two sub-networks). By the above rule, addresses xxx.xxx.xxx.0-127 would all be illegal. So, you've just cut you available hosts in half for no reason. Basically, this rule makes it illegal to only chop a network in half, which seems strange to me. RFC 950 doesn't cover (as near as I could tell) subnetting a subnet. For example, say I've subnetted my class C (in fact, I have) with netmask 255.255.255.224, 8 networks of 30 hosts each. Now, I realize that my servers (had I more than one) are eating up a bunch of bandwith talking with each other, so I want to isolate them on their own network. Say I take all the hosts in the range xxx.xxx.xxx.64 to xxx.xxx.xxx.95 and set their netmasks to be 255.255.255.240, 16 networks of 16 hosts each. With proper configuration, I expect this would work with existing software. Well, I already use hosts on the "reserved" subnet in the range 1-31 without any problems. Anyone out there have a definitive answer?

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi... Just over a month ago, I upgraded my systems modem from an external 28.8 to an internal 33.6. The modem is called a Magitronic and that's about all I know about it. Standard modem manual comes with it... The problem is that it randomly hangs. It doesn't hang up or anything, it just sits there and no data goes across the link :( I got the reseller to send me a new modem, which I've just installed, and get the same 'hang'. I've tried looking into the modem settings, and there really doesn't seem to be anything there that seems, to me, out of the ordinary. Hardware flow control is on, DTE is set at 115200, connection comes up clean, or so it seems... So, I figure I'm down to a general problem with my provider (Netcom.ca, whom I wouldn't quite consider close to problem free in the first place...but I *never* had a problem with my 28.8 modem...) or with FreeBSD... Someone once mentioned that FreeBSD 'triggers' the FIFOs very high in comparison to something like Windows, so I may be getting buffer overflows that it can't recover from...but I get nothing in /var/log/messages that I would expect to back this up... Can anyone suggest what I might want to look into to determine which end of the connection is having the problems? All I know now is that no packets are getting through.

CIDR and variable length subnet masks have really made all this stuff invalid or irrelevant anyway. just chop it up and you should be fine. we have carved our class C into 4 networks, of varying sizes. network 1 - addresses .1 through .30 - netmask 0xffffffe0 network 2 - addresses .33 through .63 - netmask 0xffffffe0 network 3 - addresses .65 through .126 - netmask 0xffffffc0 network 4 - addresses .129 through .254 - netmask 0xffffff80 just make sure you set the netmasks right or your machines will freak out when trying to contact stuff off their subnet! -- Jon Drukman jsd@gamespot.com SpotMedia Communications How the drunk and the maimed both are dragged forward out of the arena like a boneless Christ, one man under each arm, feet dragging, eyes on the aether.

A good recipe for a poor news server. You don't need a PPro 200 to do news service. It will mostly sit idle. You could use more RAM and it would make much more of a difference. You don't have enough disks to make a decent spool. Why would you use Wide disks? The 2940 is nice; three NCR-810's are just as nice, and cost the same as the one 2940. Can't say anything about the 3C590; I use DEC-21x4x based stuff and am happy with it. And I'll skip the nasty comment about RedHat 4.1. > I'm running a FreeBSD 2.2 box with 96Meg of RAM and about > 13 peers, with 7 drives CCD'd together over 2 NCR SCSI controllers...and > am happy to report that other then a memory problem (hardware), that machine > is rock solid... > > Oh, its a 486DX4-100, not a PPro...

It handles over two dozen news peers and is currently ranked the #17th most influential news server in the world.

Hmmm.... had a URL for a page at 3-com that had a wonderful writeup on this, and many other IP addressing issues, sort of an "everything you ever wanted to know and were afraid to ask" document, and it points to this restriction being because of one of the more primitive dynamic routing protocols being unable to handle these two cases. It also says that this restriction was depreciated, but I can't remember where or when. I was actually more surprized to find out you're supposed to have all subnets equal size. Unfortunately, Cisco's try to enforce both of these rules (or at least the 2501 we have does). On the other hand, our Linux firewall and the FreeBSD machines here (give me time, I want to convert it all to FreeBSD, but haven't had time to evaluate the FreeBSD equivilents of masquerading yet) talk to subnets that violate both rules.

Anyone out there have a definitive answer? It is due to RIPv1 : a router that announces a sub network to another has to send the address of the sub network to its peers. It doesn't send the subnet mask in the announcement datagram (no field for this in RIPv1 !). Then, suppose your network is 192.160.30.0 and you have 4 subnets of size 64 : 192.160.30.{0,64,128,192}. Suppose too that the nodes connected to one of your Ethernet are in the subnet 192.160.30.0. The router that connects this Ethernet to the other networks announces 192.160.30.0 to its peers. But the other routers that receive this annoucement think it's the whole class C network 192.160.30.0 that is announced, not only hosts from 192.160.30.1 to 192.160.30.62. Then, they will send all packets with a destination in the class C network 192.160.30.0 to this router, even if the address is outside the first subnet of 64 addresses ! This is why RFC 1058 forbids the usage of the first subnet. It's stupid because there is a way to handle this. If all the subnets of a class C network are a connex graph, you can simply prove that, without changing RIPv1 : The routers that may receive an announce like 192.160.30.0 THAT IS NOT an announce for the whole net but only for the first subnet, have a local interface in the net 192.160.30.0. Then, there are two cases : - the router that receives this announcement has no interface in the net. It must then send all datagrams with a destination address in 192.160.30.0/24 to the router that sent the announcement. - the router that receives this announcement has one or more interfaces in the net. If the announcement came from an interface in the net, the announcement is then for the first subnet only. If it came from an interface NOT in the net, it's an announcement for the whole class C network (and it will be discarded because the routeur must has received more specific routes). Note that this method works only if the subnets of a same net are a connex graph.

This lib (libXaw.so.6.1) is part of X... It's not found because you don't have X installed... If you want to run emacs without X, you should start it with the command `emacs -nw`.

To execute a program in the current dir named 'myprog', you should type ./myprog. The './' tells the shell to look for the program in the current dir, rather than searching through yur path for it. > I also wanted to install XWindows. I downloaded the entire directory "XFree86" from the web, but how do I go from there? /stand/sysinstall doesn't seem to work and I want to install it manually. Can you please tell me how? Thanks. 1) You should already have a dir named /usr/X11R6... If you don't, then create it. 2) Cd to /usr/X11R6 and untar all of the XF32*.tgz files with a command like `tar -pvzxf /X32*.tgz`. 3) Then copy the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc file to your home dir, rename it to .xinitrc and edit it to your liking. 4) Add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path. 5) Type 'ldconfig -m /usr/X11R6/bin'. 6) Type 'startx' This should at least get you started...

Uninstalled programs don't run. You can repartition your drive and make room for both.

Yes, any program which needs to see all data on the network instead of only data addresses to the localhost puts the ethernet interface into promiscuous mode. As you mentioned this includes tools such as tcpdump, trafshow, lanstat and anything which uses libpcap. These programs are legit when used for legit purposes. My point was that promiscuous mode can be a real security nightmare if people have access to it who should not. Software such as the password sniffing processes which are part of RootKit, a common hacker/cracker's toolkit, uses promiscuous mode. You should not blindly ignore these messages if you do not know who is running them. Establish that promiscuous mode was being used by an "authorized" person. cheers, Adrian -- adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, System Administrator --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi... The tlb code that I have for doing the mail splitting comes with a script that goes through and cleans up a mailing list. Its two main activities are to sort the list (by domains) and to remove all the 'extraneous information', which is everything except for the email address itself. If I run it against netnotify, it produces a file that is 200k in size, vs the 300k that netnotify currently is. I don't recall if there is a reason why subscriptions aren't being strip'd by default of the extraneous information, but the reduced size of the file *could* result in faster subscribe/unsubscribes, since there is less data that has to be manipulated. I haven't installed the stripped version, I just ran the program to see what the result would look like...its up to you whether you want this to be done or not...:) Marc G.

I currently have FreeBSD and the Apache web server running. Once the web server is up I can type source test_ip and bind the virtual addresses to the same ethernet card as my orginal domain. In the file called test_ip I have the following: #This file configures multiple ips to a single ethernet card address ifconfig ed0 inet 208.197.69.20 255.255.255.192 alias route add -host 208.197.69.20 127.0.0.1 0 I want to move these commands into the sysconfig file so that on boot up it is cleaner than calling source on my test_ip file. However, when I add these commands I am getting problems with restarting the network, so my work around has been sourcing the test_ip file. Also, when another problem I am having is that when I get the network up after the work around, I am having problems between with my mail, where it is piling up in the Q rather than being forwarded to my smtp server. The mail works find if I don't source the test_ip file. However, when I source the test_ip file all the virtual web servers work. Any ideas. I was thinking maybe a problem with the way I am binding rather than using the sysconfig file.

I think the starting benchmark is 2xmemory, but if you are running Xwindows start at 50mb and go up from there. With 32MB of RAM I have a 100MB swap that could be 50MB since I only use 13% of it at a time. ;) I suggest consulting http://resnet.uoregon.edu/dwhite/makedisk.html, my disk creation documentation.

The ips are 203.62.152.0-31, 203.62.152.32-63 and 203.62.152.64-95. Then I have 203.62.152.96->127 "blank" (its allocated for someone upstairs next month), then I have 128-> 191 for something, and 192->256 subnetted into 8 and 16-IP subnets (for modems). All in all, a very chopped up C-class :) (not that I needed to conserve space, but..) And from the router, its announced to the freebsd gateway box as a single route, ie 203.62.152.0/24 (==netmask 255.255.255.0). > Well, I already use hosts on the "reserved" subnet in the range 1-31 > without any problems.

Remember now we have classless routing, no more fixed subnet masks. After I tell my cisco's this, they quite happily do what I tell them. Hope this helps, if not tell me and I'll try to explain a tad more (if I'm not grossly mistaken myself..)

Schapachnik > S&M Internet You don't need to. the .aa-.xx files are the actual dist. files, the .inf file is the one that tells the install program ghow many files there are. files such as the .mtree file are just there is you really need to reference. For instance, I believe the .mtree tells you what directories and files appear where when you install it. Maybe nice, easy to debug 'n' stuff, but it's strictly for your reference; it has nothing to do with the install program itself. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good.

FTP install is just for installing from one of the ftp.freebsd.org mirror sites, so it can't find the pub/FreeBSD/... directory. You want to install via NFS to do it that way.

Lets see.... so, if you mounted your CD-ROM on: /pub/FreeBSD/2.2.1-RELEASE/ , and just set the site to download frmo to the IP address of your AIX machine (AIX ; I'm admin of one of them beasts), without any pathname after it, then...

The netmask should be 255.255.255.255 if the alias'd IP is on the same subnet as the main IP for this interface. 2. Your ifconfig syntax is wrong. You need a 'netmask' keyword between the ip addresses. 3. The route add is redundant; the system will DTRT with regard to routing your alias. So, try the following in sysconfig: ifconfig_ed0_alias0="208.197.69.20 netmask 0xffffffff alias" 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 Wed Apr 16 11:21:59 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA25951 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 11:21:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from agora.rdrop.com (root@agora.rdrop.com [199.2.210.241]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA25911 for ; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 11:21:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from abq.com by agora.rdrop.com with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #17) id m0wHZKs-00097hC; Wed, 16 Apr 97 11:21 PDT X-ROUTED: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 12:23:16 -0600 X-TCP-IDENTITY: Michael Knoepfler Received: from asusfloptrix [204.68.29.26] by abq.com with smtp id $T209607 ; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 12:22:32 -0600 Message-ID: <3355181A.29E9@abq.com> Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 12:19:06 -0600 From: michael knoepfler Reply-To: mknoepf@abq.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (Win95; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: intel etherexpress cards Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk hello, i would like to get some ethernet cards that work on both winnt and bsd. i noticed on the comp.unix...announce 2.2.1 that etherexpress pro/100 and pro/10 cards are mentioned. i notice in ads that there exist isa, eisa, and pci versions of these cards. does FreeBSD support all the bus types? also, other cards are mentioned - is it safe to infer that the differing bus versions are all supported? please reply to: mknoepf@abq.com. also, please cc to r3cgm@cdrom.com as he would like to know too. thanks in advance. m knoepfler.

Fetch ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/incoming/jdk102.11-26.tar.gz 2. Extract in location of your choice. 3. Install the pdksh package, if ksh isn't already installed. 4.

The solution to this problem is more obvious that you thought: the IP addresses don't have to be dynamic *to the server*. Just setup each of the 5 lines as a dial-in PPP line with a fixed IP address. The clients must be ready to accept whatever IP addresses are given to them, as they may reach a different port on each dial-in. > By now several people how tried to help me (not from questions@freebsd.org) > and they were talking about installing geted instead of routed. They said > that i > need gated in order to allow local networks (for example, with NT server) > to connect to my server via static ip. Is that true ? Routed *should* be able to handle this. It depends in part on what IP addresses you're routing for the dial-ups; are the users dialing in from a single system or another network which must be routed? If so, are the dial-up networks separate network addresses, or subnets of your network address? -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

The following Perl code triggers the bug on my 2.1.0-R system (the code for the driver doesn't seem to have changed since then): open (SPKR, ">/dev/speaker"); print SPKR "T120L8O4AF"; # Bing-bong! close (SPKR); open (SPKR, ">/dev/speaker"); print SPKR "T120L8O4AF"; # And again.... close (SPKR); The problem seems to have to do with a race condition and/or with kernel memory allocation. I'm not terribly familiar with BSD kernel programming, and there's no documentation on the full implications of some items in the driver code, so I'm not sure how to pinpoint the problem. Frequently (but not always), when code like the above is executed, the speaker begins to play random noises after the second "print." The process that's playing the sounds may hang, and the system can become unstable. Killing the hung process results in a wide range of awful noises -- and, at least on my machine -- a reboot without sync'ing the file system. (I had to do extensive reconstruction of /dev after the crash.) There may also be a potential security exploit here, since the play string is copied into kernel memory. An earlier bug fix to the driver appears not to have solved all of the potential problems with it. Can someone help to identify the source of the problem and a fix for it? --Brett Glass From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 16 13:34:10 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA28132 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 13:34:10 -0700 (PDT) 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 NAA28123 for ; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 13:34:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA14873; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 13:33:21 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 13:33:21 -0700 (PDT) From: Snob Art Genre To: Anthony Barlow cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 3.0-Current In-Reply-To: <199704161806.SAA22542@mail.warp.co.uk> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 16 Apr 1997, Anthony Barlow wrote: > Hi > > I saw in a previous post that 3.0-current supports userid's greater than > 8 charaters?

Assuming you don't have to worry about commands wandering off to network drives, you could do some things like this: du -k / | sort -rn to find directories with lots of content under them. Or like this: find / -size +500000 -ls (does FreeBSD have a '-ls' switch for find? If not use find / -size +500000 -print | xargs ls -ld ) to find files over 500000 bytes (I think that's the default unit) in size. And see if there's any hints in the names turned up?

I am now able to su to root just fine. However, I'd like to through a couple of observations out for comment. First, in running tests here it appears that it's the group number and not the name that's important. I tested having myself in group 0 but with that group re-named "spoke" rather than "wheel" and I was able to su to root just fine. Secondly, and this was a surprise, it appears that in orde to be able to su to root one must be associated with group 0 in the /etc/group file. By that I mean that having the user assigned to group 0 in the /etc/passwd file does not seem to work. That appears to me to be in direct contradiction to what the man page on group says. So, to wrap up this topic, am I missing something on that point? Thanks again for any input. ... doug ______________________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto://doug@cybernautics.net http://www.cybernautics.net Don't bogart that file, my friend.

No. I can guarantee that the EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI version is supported. I just noticed that the Pro/10 is supported. Looking at the device entry in LINT, it looks like it targets the ISA only. To be honest, I would shoot for the Pro/100B PCI and/or the DC21x4x based PCI ethernet cards. I have one in this box and it performs like a champ. For ISA, just about anything goes; I've had good luck with cheap NE2000-compatible cards, surprisingly. Steer clear of the EtherExpress 16's though. > please reply to: > mknoepf@abq.com. > also, please cc to r3cgm@cdrom.com as he would like to know too. Done. Hope this helps.

It's a mixed bag. The ISA (via 'ex' driver) and PCI version (via 'fxp' driver) of the Pro/10 is supported, and the PCI version (via 'fxp' driver) of the Pro/100B is supported. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 16 16:50:31 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA01946 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 16:50:31 -0700 (PDT) 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 QAA01941 for ; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 16:50:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA16341; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 16:50:28 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 16:50:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Snob Art Genre To: Ben Rush cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: FreeBSD CD and Xwindows In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 16 Apr 1997, Ben Rush wrote: > I haven't used the FreeBSD CD extensively.

Did you disable the IDE controller on the motherboard? Even tho it doesn't have anything connected to it, it can cause odd booting problems. BTW, you can boot up by typing sd(0,a)/kernel and it will mount fine.

It means that /home isn't really a filesystem, which on a default system, it isn't: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Apr 11 20:32 home@ -> /usr/home Dump dumps entire FSs, not directory heirarchies. WIth a default setup you want something like rdump 0auf host2:/dev/nrst0 /usr (note the use of a to use the entire tape.)

No, you must dump an entire filesystem. It's a silly requirement, but makes sense from a permissions standpoint.

I got this solved :-) Turns out I had managed to create a disk label without a type in it. Booting sd(0,a)/kernel won't get around this, compiling a kernel that boots only from sd0 won't solve this.

The box actually *freezes*? That's the first time I've heard of that. Normally you can ignore the rtq messages, but in this case I'd be inclined to think he's running out of mbufs.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Normally I grovel appropriately when writing with a question to questions@freebsd.org as all of you know far more than lowly user scum such as myself about Unix... HOWEVER, what is going on with the 2940 drivers? I have a production machine with a 2940UW running just a Seagate disk running 2.1.5R which has been just wonderful. I would *love* to upgrade this machine to 2.2.1R using the Walnut Creek CD-ROM presently winging it's way to me but there has been too much traffic in the USENET news that there are troubles. So what is the deal? Specifically: 1) Are there known problems with the 2.1.5 ahc driver? 2) Are there known or suspected problems with the 2.2.1 ahc driver? 3) If (2) is true and (1) is false, what would it take to roll back to stability in the form of (1)'s driver? 4) Are there known or suspected problems with the 2.1.7.1 ahc driver? 5) If (4) is true and (1) is false, what would it take to roll back to stability in the form of (1)'s driver? 6) What is the one paragraph description of this history of this problem? This is a case of FreeBSD being a victim of it's own success, more and more we *depend* on the STABLE branch REALLY being stable. I would be up to my #$%^& in trouble if the machine got upgraded and then began to do unpleasant things... (The machine's whole configuration: ASUS P55T2P4 Rev 3.0 Intel Pentium 735\\90 running at the rated 133-MHz 32 meg of party fast-page mode 60ns RAM Adaptec 2940 UW running just 1 Seagate ST32155W (rev 0528) ASUS SC-200 (NCR 53c810) PCI SCSI controller running just 1 NEC CD-ROM 501 (rev 2.2) Generic Trident VGA Video (ISA) (the machine is usually headless) SMC 8216C Ethernet (ISA) Logitech Bus Mouse via mse0 The machine is backed up via ftp (cron, rsh and expect are my friends -- Ok, it's weird, but it works and fits within an otherwise weirder environment) and is mainly used as a compute server doing relatively disk intensive activities (though www.cdrom.com it isn't). Little in the way of installed packages (most normal stuff is installed including X) and just one suite of mean, old, nasty C/FORTRAN/sh programs that keep the uptime at 1.00 pretty much forever. ) So how about figuring out what those of us who seek *critical* 2940U/UW stability should be doing and then post the answer to USENET and I think 'announce' too as this is a topic that has festered just a little too long. Thanks as always for a really cool product! David Moffett (dpm@cs.purdue.edu) P.S. how about a 2.1.7.2 CD-ROM with whatever the real solution is? ftping from the net is often a real pain and recompiling on a machine using a broken disk driver doesn't sound like much fun to me...

What did I do? MAKEDEV all. I thought it was going to create all devices referenced in my kernel config, but apparently, it didn't. So now when I boot up, it defaults to booting from wd(0,a)/kernel, then proceeds after checking my hardware proceeds to tell me that it can't find any of my other slices. Startup messages: swapon /dev/wd0s4b : No such file or directory /dev/wd0s4f : No such file or directory can't stat /dev/wd0s4f Then it says it can't find the shell, and asks if it should load sh. I do that, and take a look around. My /usr, /proc, and /var slices aren't loaded. My fstab file (minus the last few columns) is: #Device Mountpoint FStype /dev/wd0s4b none swap /dev/wd0a / ufs /dev/wd0s4f /usr ufs /dev/wd0s4e /var ufs proc /proc procfs /dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660 Shouldn't /dev/wd0a be /dev/wd0s4a? I went into /dev and looked in there. The wd0 devices are: wd0, wd0a through wd0h, and wd0s1 through wd0s4. My wd0s4a-s4h devices are gone! But I can't recreate them. If I do MAKEDEV wd0s4a, I get wd0s4: read-only filesystem rwd0s4: read-only filesystem mknod: wd0s4: File exists mknod: rwd0s4: File exists mknod: wd0s4a: Read-only filesystem mknod: rwd0s4a: Read-only filesystem ...and so on... mknod: wd0s4h: Read-only filesystem mknod: rwd0s4h: Read-only filesystem My hard drive is set up as follows: Western Digital Caviar 2.5GB EIDE, split into 4 partitions 1 Pri-DOS 402Mb 2 Ext-DOS 1201Mb Logical D: 406Mb Logical E: 303Mb Logical F: 404Mb Logical G: 87Mb 3 NTFS 370Mb 4 Non-DOS 469Mb The FreeBSD partition was split up according to the default novice installation values. Any way to fix this? Or do I have to re-install FreeBSD (for the 3rd time)? One note: I can't use the Fixit floppy unless someone makes a 5 1/4" disk image, because my 5 1/4" drive is drive A: (floppy cable is too short), and I installed FreeBSD by using System Commander's boot-from-floppy-in-drive-b: option.

I have recently been informed that, because the XFree86 3.2 that came with my 2.1.7-RELEASE doesn't work with my Trident ProVidia 9685 (even at generic VGA settings -- just turns the monitor off), I have to upgrade to the 3.2A beta if I want a working system (text-mode UNIX on a single-user system is about as useful as MS-DOS to me). I checked the d/l sites, and the only FreeBSD distributions for 3.2A are for 2.1.6 and 2.2 . Since my Walnut Creek 2.1.7 claims to be a security release (fixing the problems in 2.1.6), the 2.1.6 version doesn't sound like an option -- which leaves me with 2.2 . I just bought 2.1.7 about a month ago, and I'm not very happy about having to buy or download another whole system and store it on my hard drive because there won't be any more support for my brand-new, obsolete 2.1.7 . (It also seems a bit cheesy for Walnut Creek to sell me, someone new to FreeBSD, an operating system for $45 that is basically dead in the water.) If I want to be able to use 3.2A or higher XFree86 on FreeBSD, am I going to have to move to 2.2 ? What would that entail? A full upgrade? Should I just return the CD and ask for my money back? Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

Why do you need to see the DOS partitions? To mount them, do mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1c /mnt to mount the dos partition on your first ide disk. If you get a warning, do umount /mnt and don't do it again, you risk damaging your filesystems.

Most routers support it but require a specific request (default-override) to do so.

If not, could someone give a short technical explanation as to > why? Yes, it should. I'm using several "zero-subnet" addresses currently on 2.1.7 and 2.2.1 boxes so it apparently works, at least for general users. I don't know what happens if you try to route with a box with more than one of them. The base problem is that the machine can't always tell between broadcast requests for the subnet or class-c; if the entire installation is using consistent subnet masks for the same net and NO_ONE_USES_RIP!!!, then all should work. YOU MUST NOT RUN ROUTED on a machine using 0-subnets (unless routed finally supports rip-2 and noone uses the older one). (we use gated/ospf for all fbsd-routing unless a livingston is on the net, and we keep livingstons on their own segments (and class-c blocks) for just that reason. Even a livingston can handle static-routed 0-subnets, but even at 3.5 they apparently can't handle a class-c that has more then one subnet size. -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Apr 16 23:42:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA13204 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 23:42:55 -0700 (PDT) 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 XAA13192 for ; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 23:42:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id XAA11374; Wed, 16 Apr 1997 23:42:47 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 23:42:46 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Shawn Ramsey cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: PPP In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 16 Apr 1997, Shawn Ramsey wrote: > > Read the Pedantic PPP Primer at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp for > > details on setting up proxyarp properly. > > I figured this out by searching the archives.

The OS internally doesn't know anything about your username or groupname; it's all done with numerical UID and GID. You could call the group about anything you want; it just is set to wheel for the reason that it always ahs been in BSD. > > Secondly, and this was a surprise, it appears that in orde to be > able to su to root one must be associated with group 0 in the > /etc/group file.

So, to wrap up this topic, am I missing something > on that point? Thanks again for any input. Hmm... I see what you mean about the man page. About the only thing I can think of is that wheel isn't meant to be a login group. Every user should have a login group; such as user, or usr, or student, or whatever. THAT'S the GID entered in /etc/passwd. Even root (on every system I've seen) is a member of some login group. The login group cannot be wheel, to my knowledge. When the system looks up permission to su, it looks in /etc/groups. So, try creating a group user or something, stick yourself in that in /etc/passwd, and also stick yourself in /etc/group uinder wheel. The man page would seem to say the other, but it makes more sense to me to be done this way.

Any thoughts on as to > how I can get 800x600? You'll need to get modelines that 1) fall within the spec of your video card and 2) fall within the spec of your monitor. If you are **really** adventurous, and I am NOT responsible for any damage to your display that may result, but you could tweak the monitor values to make 800x600 fit. The PS/2 was out before SVGA, so you could have a VGA-only display that won't do 800x600. I have one of these from a AST 386sx I got in 1991.

No, the 2.1.6 version is safe. You're looking at the X server only, a single binary. You don't have to upgrade the libs and whatnot, just pull the X server that covers the Trident (specific Trident accelerated or SVGA) and overlay your existing server, and repoint /usr/X11R6/bin/X to it. I had to do this in the 3.1.2 beta series when the Mach64's changed chipset and the old release didn't work with them. It was extract-and-copy for three or four cycles. Never a problem.

If not, should I file a pr? It's probably that way for all X releases in this cycle. Unfortunately, I don't know if filing a PR will do anything for you; it's not directly controlled by FreeBSD per se.

It goes back to 1.1.x days-style devices, which will cause mount to blow up. You'll have to rebuild each disk and such manually. So walk through and do makedev wd0s0 makedev wd0s1 makedev wd0s2 makedev wd0s3 makedev wd1s0 ... and so forth as you require. You should be able to do this from single-user mode (the 'press return for sh' prompt), if you run 'mount /' to get it into read/write before running makedev. Hope this helps.

What do you want to happen to these messages? If you want to drop them in the bit bucket when the console is unplugged, you could try a # stty -f /dev/cuaa0 clocal and see if that works. I believe there is also an ioctl for resetting the console to another device, but I don't have sources here to play around with.

Booting your computer with disk will provide important information about compatibility between FreeBSD and your hardware which could dictate which installation options are possible. It can also provide early clues to compatibility problems that could prevent FreeBSD running on your system at all.

Yeah. Despite having gotten some heat, probably justifiable, from several corners, I have a page with a small collection of mail flung across -hackers and -questions concerning FreeBSD vs. Linux mainly, with a few reference to other free OS's. I am not in any way trying to evangelize one over the other, though I do prefer FreeBSD; this is just an archive of the more (I thought) intelligent statements; excluding things like 'blah is better because I said so' and the like. I put up mails as they come in, and if I find a long thread of FreeBSD vs WinNT or something of the like, I'll post them too. I just post these because it seems fairly common for people to ask 'which is better, which should I go with'. I figured that instead of starting big blood feuds everyitme with more people flaming each other, we could just point them to this page, and let them read and figure it out themselves. I'm always open to mroe suggestions or posts, if anyone feels like it. ****************************************************************** HERE'S A THOUGHT!!!!!!!!!!

Recently one very interesting question came up and i just could not figure out teh solution. We are and ISP and also decided to make a very interesting thing such as city intranet (thanks god our city is pretty compact). In this light the problems that came up were 1) How to give them access to the server via PPP with kinda (see below) real IP addresses and give no access to the outside world 2) How to limit or even deny access to out ftp site. The coditions are: 1) The same phone lines for real i-net users and city net users ** VERY INPORTANT** Both users MUST use the same phone line. The separation of phone lines is impossible. 2) Both type of users MUST be able to use things such as WEB and NET MEETING and IRC (that is why both types need real ip) 3) City net users must have limited access to the server per day. (for example only 2 hours per day) 4) No shell for city net users. 5) City users MUST have their own web pages, which are accessible from anywhere in the world, or (if possible) only from the city net. 6) City user MUST have ability to send mail to each other and anywhere in the world. Part of the sollution is in using PAP (not shell account), but it mean no POP3, SMTP mail! Another problem is how do i limit access only to the local city net (basically within one server), so they still can use WEB, NET MEETING, but only to browth locla web bbs and connect to other LOCAL user using net meeting. Maybe ANNEX would help ? I don't know much about annex. I am sure that it COULD be accomplished.. nothing is impossible if it is UN*X!!!

The following cards seems interesting : - STB Velocity 3D (S3 Virge/VX) - STB LightSpeed 128 (ET 6000) - ATI 3D Expression + PC2TV (Rage II) - Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (S3 Virge) - Diamond Stealth 3D 3000 (S3 Virge/VX) - Diamond Stealth Monster 3D - Matrox Millenium It would be great if i could have 1024x768x24bits (at least 16 bits) :-) So, my questions are : - Which card works and is recommended with FreeBSD 2.2.1 - XFree 3.2 ? - I saw there is a beta version called XFree 3.2A which seems have a better support for some of those video cards. Can i just download the server and replace the old one or is it necessary to get all the distribution ? Thanks you very much.

Any chance it's tip on another unix box? I have seen people try to use it and have exactly this problem. I think it is either a CR/LF issue, or something to do with turning off the echo. Anyway, I have gotten around it by using cu (cu -l /dev/modem -s 115200). User PPP's term mode seems to work also. If you're not using tip, it might still be a similar problem.. try another terminal program, or try fiddling with the CR/LF translation settings.

But when I connected to my MAC server for ftp install I entered both gateway and ip as 0.0.0.0 . I believe its not right to enable pap ( that's server side) you would accept pap.

WindowsNT on one machine and 2.1.5 (2.2.1 CD ordered) on the other. The cards are NE2000 and successfully installed (both machines recognize them - ed0 on the freeBSD side). I know they can see each other because the errors I'm getting. If I can get the freeBSD side to work then I can sort out the other. I've tried everything I can think of. What goes in the appropriate /etc files? I'm not running routed. I think the ifconfig statements are ok (in sysconfig), at least they (lo0 and tun0) work when I'm dialing out, and the one for ed0 looks like the others and those in the manuals. What is happening is this: an attempt to ftp theother machine loops back to the local one. The other error is that both machines report the same IP number for their respective cards, and I really can't see how I did that. The network will be run as a private one. Connections to the Internet are through one of them and not when the network is in use (both up), that is for later. I'm very confused... You can't tell, can you? Thanks for the help - and patience!

When I try that (using the 3.2 XF86_Mach64 from the FreeBSD 2.1.6 CD on my FreeBSD 2.1.5 system), I get this weird color cycling and screwup behavior. I just take the 3.1.2 XF86_Mach64 and drop it into my 3.2 /usr/X11R6 tree and things work fine for me now. Any idea if that kind of behavior is known and/or fixed in 3.2A (or whatever)?

I know the hardware is supported because the card slot and modem were detected and worked properly with the boot-pao floppy. I have enabled the PC-Card section of /etc/sysconfig and tried multiple configurations with the /etc/pccard.conf file. I enabled the pccard support when I compiled my custom kernel. When I boot, I get the following message immediately after the fsck output on my mounted fs's /dev/card0: device not configured. I think it's a kernel configuration problem. As such, I have included my kernel configuration file below. If any more info is needed, I would be glad to provide it either in this forum or via personal e-mail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you are on the machine that is the lower of the two - and it is able to locally deliver it (or thinks it can) it will. So you must have something else up and not MX record problems. For instance, do you have a Cw for the domain you are seconding? You shouldnt unless you intend to deliver locally for that domain.

Go ahead and create a shell account for each of your citynet users, but set their shell to /sbin/nologin. This will create a valid passwd entry for the user, but keep them from every really logging into your server. If you *do not* put /sbin/nologin into the file /etc/shells, these users will *not* be able to login to your ftp server. If you would like a version of the nologin program that logs access attempts to nologin accounts, see my web page listed below. I've written a simple compiled nologin program that logs a message in the system log whenever someone trys to access a nologin account; you compile and install this program and use it as the users shell. > PS: If this letter gets to a russian speaking person, write in russian > please :) Russian?

Where did I screw up? What processor(s) did you mark in config? You will probably need to update the assembler, gas, before you can compile. Note that 2.2.1 comes with 2.7.2.1 of gcc, and I'm guessing the code is expecting you to have that. I would highly suggest upgrading your box to 2.2.1 before trying to build 2.2.1 kernels on it.

I wasn't sure which one was more appropriate. OK, I grabbed the port and have read through all the doc but I can't tell if what I want to do can be done. We have 3 token rings and 4 ethernets (I'll try not to go into too many details about why we've done certain things... it's a long story). Anyways, the 3 TRs and 2 of the ethernets are hung off of 2 Ciscos. On one of those ethernets, is a FreeBSD router which routes to the other 2 ethernets. The main DHCP server is an NT server on one of the token rings. We need DHCP to work for the 2 ethernets hung off of the FreeBSD machine. We don't want to have to manage DHCP servers both on NT AND on FreeBSD. This means that the FreeBSD machine just needs to act as a 'dhcp relay'. DHCP broadcasts on one ethernet need to be passed on to the others. Is this possible? -Steve On Thu, 17 Apr 1997, Justin M.

I recently purchased a copy of FreeBSD 2.1.5 (Actually, my place of business purchased it for me) I am having problems installing it to my harddrive. First, the system I am installing it to is a 486dx2/80 w/ 32 megs RAM, 2.5 G harddrive, partitioned 50% to Win95 and the other 50% is empty. My CD is a Funai-Panasonic (Cheap soundblaster kit) that FreeBSD doesn't seem to recognize as a drive, so I've copied the DISTS subdirectory into a FREEBSD directory on my C drive. When I boot from the floppy, I can get through the installation, but when it starts to copy the DISTS from the harddrive, I get an error "Write failure on transfer (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes) In what little paper doccumentation that comes with the system, it says that the drive geometry may be incorrect, and upon checking I found it was. I corrected the problem but still get this error every time I try to install. Any suggestions or Questions?

Yes.. You can remove the disable part... When the line is commented out with # in front of it, it means the code is not compiled into the kernel at all. By putting a disable in the config line however, the code is in the kernel, it merely is not active at boot time. For example, when you initially are at the boot prompt, you can do a -c for config where you could enable the ps/2 mouse driver. In your case, since you want to use it, remove the disable keywork from the line and recompile your kernel... For a complete explanation of the different kernel options, have a look at the file LINT in the same directory. So, the steps you want are cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC saskernel vi saskernel make sure that you have a line that says options XSERVER take out the disable part device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector save the changes config saskernel cd ../../compile/saskernel make depend;make;make install at this point, if all compiled well, do a sync;shutdown -r now *The sync command isnt necessary, but I like to flush anyways... ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike@sentex.net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Cambridge, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatra (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) * From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 17 19:33:13 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA25900 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 19:33:13 -0700 (PDT) Received: from zeus.xtalwind.net (slipper5a.xtalwind.net [205.160.242.59]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA25891 for ; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 19:33:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (zeus.xtalwind.net [127.0.0.1]) by zeus.xtalwind.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id WAA05251; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 22:32:41 -0400 (EDT) Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 22:32:41 -0400 (EDT) From: jack X-Sender: jack@zeus.xtalwind.net To: Gary Chrysler cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: -ERR Unknown command: "auth".

BSD detects and recognises the drive, and an mt status returns good data. However, using mt erase just sends the drive into permanent 'busy' mode, never ending the task, and kill -1,-9,-ABRT all refuse to kill the process, and issuing a reboot shuts down from multi-user, but never reboots. I have to manually reset the machine. I also installed amanda, and it exhibits similar problems. amlabel can label the tape, but dumps dont actually work. amcheck however, repots no problem. SO what am I missing here? Im using /dev/nrst0 as the device, and the DAT unit works fine under Winslow NT 3.51 (thats where it lived for 2 weeks before moving into the UN*X server). Any assitance would be greatly appreciated. I jsut cant seem to find any good info on setting up backups under FreeBSD, so even if you just wann tell me to RTFM, Im happy to do so, just tell me somewhere with good FreeBSD info on tapes/backups !! =) Thanks in advance Adrian -- ************************************************************************* *Adrian Carter Email: adrian@apic.net * *Systems Administrator URL: http://www.apic.net/ * *The Asia Pacific Internet Company Pty Ltd Autoresp: info@apic.net * * Internet Access, Web Housing, Mailing List Management * * Phone: (+612) 9419-5333 Fax: (+612) 9419-5155 * ************************************************************************* From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Apr 17 20:07:41 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id UAA27855 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 20:07:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from relay.krasnet.ru (relay.krasnet.ru [193.125.44.80]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA27849 for ; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 20:07:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from post.krasnet.ru (post.krasnet.ru [193.125.44.81]) by relay.krasnet.ru (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA10331 for ; Fri, 18 Apr 1997 11:10:05 +0800 (KRD) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by post.krasnet.ru (8.7.6/8.7.3) id LAA19155 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 18 Apr 1997 11:06:51 +0800 (KRD) Received: by tpo.krasnoyarsk.su (dMail for DOS v1.23, 15Jun94); Thu, 17 Apr 1997 23:30:06 +0400 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <199704171343.RAA04087@omni.norilsk.ru> Message-Id: Organization: The Territorial Centre for Interurban Communication N 17 Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 23:30:06 +0400 (MSD) From: "Oleg M.

Now I am running Win95 on an IBM Aptiva PC. This IBM was bought in Japan and it was provided with a Japanese version of Win95. I changed this to an English version of Win95. The problem is that what I had was just an upgrade so I needed to start with by reformatting the hard disk with a Japanese version of DOS and to use the first installation disk of Windows 3.1 to trick the upgrade. The English version of Win95 is working now but has some small problems. I wold like to keep this version on my hard disk and to run in the same time the FreeBSD. The IBM Aptiva was provided with an HD with the following characteristics: IBM CE MODEL: DJAA-31700 CAPACITY: 1700 MB 3308 CYL 16 HEADS 63 SEC/T P/N 29H7182 FRU P/N 06H8728 MLC EI5496 RATED 5V 450mA DC Almost all of my data is stored on this HD. Now I have 360MB free space on it and I want to install some more software that runs under Win95 (like Autocad 13 and SigmaPlot). For this I will need more space. Recently I obtained a new hard disk. It is a ADTX Quantum E-IDE of 1.2GB. I did not install it yet. I understand from Chapter 5 (of the book mentioned above) that I can do the Shared OS Installation but I did not understand very well how should I proceed. Would you please be so kind and help me to install the FreeBSD on this last HD (Quantum) and to keep some space available for the other programs that I want to install(Autocad 13 and SigmaPlot) and run from Win95? If you think that there is an other possibility (like running these programs under FreeBSD, for example) please let me know. Please accept my thanks in advance. Looking forward for your answer.

You weren't getting errors, your machine just ftp'd to the first machine with a matching IP number ( wich just happens to be himself). Change the FreeBSD machine's IP number by editing /etc/sysconfig. There are examples in this file ( look at the 10.0.0.1 etc IP numbers, ecpecially for a machine that is not connected to the internet). You can also change the IP number without rebooting by typing : ifconfig ed0 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 (I presume ed0 is your network device) To change the NT machine's IP number you go into the network neighborhood properties, choose the protocols tag and then tcp/ip properties. Set the IP number to something like 10.0.0.2 , with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Save and REBOOT :-) No changing IP numbers on the fly with NT ( ) Good luck pierre > Thanks for the help - and patience! > > John From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Apr 18 00:47:41 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id AAA17201 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 18 Apr 1997 00:47:41 -0700 (PDT) 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 AAA17196 for ; Fri, 18 Apr 1997 00:47:38 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA08104; Fri, 18 Apr 1997 00:47:31 -0700 (PDT) Date: Fri, 18 Apr 1997 00:47:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Snob Art Genre To: Morgan Foote cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: freebsd In-Reply-To: <199704180706.AAA21396@whidbey.whidbey.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 Fri, 18 Apr 1997, Morgan Foote wrote: > what files do i need to get freebsd? beacuse it doeent say on your webpage > See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html.

I heard from Mike after my newsgroup post. My machine has a 16-bit WD ethercard. I have since found that if I explicitly "mount server:/path /mnt" there are no problems getting directory listings. Does this imply something to do with the NFSV3 support in 2.2.x ? mount -3 blah gets an error. This all worked fine in 2.1.7. The server in question runs SunOS 4.1.2 and the top of the amd map is like this: /defaults type:=nfs;sublink:=${key};opts:=rw,intr,nosuid,grpid,rsize=1024 user rfs:=/export/home;rhost:=server I'm not a C hacker so can't realistically dive into the amd sources. I'm now left wondering where to go after the 2 responses to my question. Am I resigned to reverting to 2.1.7.1 and staying there? Is there an alternative to amd? I (optimistically?) tried copying amd and libc V2 from a 2.1 system but that caused a kernel panic! Where do I go? I have always praised FreeBSD to others but now feel a bit let down. I know its free software etc but I'm disappointed that something which used to work fine doesn't anymore. No-one's offered any reason for the pause before e.g. more & vi starting either. Any suggestions anyone?

Mike Murphy had a suggestion to add an rdsize option to amd, please ask him to get his patch for an attempt. amd is missing more NFS options (like v3), and it seems silly to duplicate the entire option parsing from mount_nfs(8), but i don't have a more interesting idea available either. > No-one's offered any > reason for the pause before e.g. more & vi starting either.

I can reproduce it occaisonally but not reliably; I am working on trying to fix it though. The version of AMD in 2.2.x doesn't understand NFSv3. I only just updated the one in 3.0 for v3.

Originally having overlooked the thread in multimedia concerning StarOffice, I went back into the archives and re-read all of the messages, and haven't seemed to come across answers for any of these, so I shall ask here. ====[ online help ]==== svdaemon needs to be started to get online help...has anyone succeeded in getting this to work? If I type 'svdaemon', it just sort of hangs there, where I would have expected it to auto-background itself. Not so big a problem, except that if I go to help/contents, I get nothing. If I do a 'ps x' after doing this, I see: 10557 v0 S 0:00.06 /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/linux-x86/bin/svdaemon Oops, swriter3 starts up its own svdaemon when you try to do help/contents...the readme file seems to imply that I had to do it manually :( Restart swriter3, don't start svdaemon, go to help/contents...it starts up svdaemon, but still no help. ====[ inter-application communication ]==== Again, doesn't auto-background, but since I'm not really certain on how to make use of that one, can't test it. Also, after a period of time, I get: Cannot register service: RPC: Timed out unable to register (SVPORTMAP, SVPORTMAPVERSION, udp). ====[ swriter3: loading files ]==== The reason I wanted at online help was to hopefully find an answer to this problem. I have a text based file that I want to load up into StarOffice and play around with formatting and whatnot. If I go to open and try to load the file, I get an error of: Non-existent object Non-existent file So I can't seem to load the file. If I rename the file as .txt, I get as far as it asking me for the 'filter' to use, which I choose 'Text Unix', and then after I click 'Ok', it then proceeds to give me the same error again, but actually loads the file this time...

Try "cu -l /dev/cuaa1" and see if you can talk to your modem (use AT commands). At least that way you'll be sure the modem is hooked up right. You'll need to disable the getty to try this. -HS I'm trying to set up dial-in service on a FreeBSD box I have at school. I have followed your directions and modified /etc/ttys and checked the gettytab, but I still do not have a getty on my modem device. My modem device is on ttyd1 and the device itself is cuaa1. The following is the line from /etc/ttys: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" vt100 on secure If any more information is needed to diagnose/remedy this problem mail me at oshertuk@smhs.ebrps.subr.edu .

I though I had this problem. Try a ps -gaxuw | grep ttyd1. the problem is, that the getty for modem connections doesn't run connected to the port. at least, until you actually dial in and the login: prompt get's spit out accross the connection. Are you sure you're modem's set to auto-answer? If not, enter the appropriate switches using tip, the go try and dialin. The getty is probably running, it's just that a ps -agO user (which is my standard command) doesn't pick it up because it's not a standard system process, and it's not attached to a port. If any of this is flawed or doesn't work, it's not my fault; I'm not a part of the core team, I don't know the source by heart; all I know is, I got it to work like this. Hope it helps!! The ps commands gives us the following: root 235 0.0 3.4 152 488 ??

Also to disable the getty, I just edit /etc/ttys and turn the switch to off, Correct? Thanks. Hi Omkar, Use the "cu" command to connect to the port before trying the "at" commands.

Questions: Did you try to create a boot floppy more than once, using different floppy disks? Can you DOS format the disks without errors?

The new Apache will most likely have overwritten all of your .conf files with its standard ones; you will have to merge your changes -- specifically directory access authorizations and enabling functions -- to reflect your specific site structure. Hope you made copies of the old ones that worked! Second possible gotcha is if your CGI programmer added his own Perl password test code in one of the generically included modules. This covers a security hole in the .htaccess scheme, and is Good. Make surew he didn't hard code the directories into the Perl code. Next, make sure all your scripts point to the right directories. Use lots of GREPs and "perl5 -pi.bak -e s#/some/old/dir/#/some/new/dir/loc/# *" to eradicate old directory pointers. Lastly, make sure the crypt routines are the same. MD5 and DES do not produce the same passwords. I haven't yet done 1.2b8, I myself am waiting for 1.3 to come off beta. If somebody manages to blitz my site in the meantime, I have another live server I can just change the name and IP on. There may be other surprizes, but I would doubt it's compilation that causes your grief. It's far more likely the .conf files or the directories. Finally, besides Apache.org, the http://www.hwg.org has a hwg-servers mailing list you can subscribe to which covers Apache configuration constantly. As an aside to the FreeBSD group, I would suggest that we add a link there to the FreeBSD resources pages, as this question (and others of like topic) are better addressed there.

I remember, that wide-dhcp is buggy. Isc is good (+ you will need berkeley packet filter - /dev/bpf*). Problem arises, if you want DHCP for 2 and more nets on the same interface. E.g., your pc isn't router for each net on which you will send DHCP. (I have DHCP + ROUTER for 4 net.) Then you will use bootp-gateway on some router and you will have to have special hosts routes in routing table. Something like '193.84.224.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff'.

Basically, you setup your partitions on the second hard drive (it should be something like wd1, with your first being wd0), and just leave space for the '95 programs. You can probably figure out how much space you'll need for the 95 stuff and leave that much. FYI, I had a FreeBSD partition with bin, doc, info, manpages, games and XFree86 running on 100MB, with 24 of it going towards swap. I CERTAINLY don't reccomend it, but you can probably do just fine with ,say, a 700MB FreeBSD partition, which leaves you something like half a gig for 95.

The original distribution archives for each of the ports isn't necessarily distributable because of license restrictions on particular pieces of software. Most of them are retrievable over the Internet; if you don't have the distfile in /usr/ports/distfiles, then you can look at the Makefile and fetch the distribution manually, put it in /usr/ports/distfiles, and try again.

What error message do you get when you try to mount them? That would be much more helpful in trying to isolate your problem.

"feature virtusertable". look at the readme in sendmail/cf/README. database lookups in the virtusertable are recursive. ruleset 0 invokes the virtusertable code, then calls ruleset 3 and ruleset 0 on the result...you can go up to 50 levels deep before sendmail stops the recursion. from sendmail/cf/README virtusertable A domain-specific form of aliasing, allowing multiple virtual domains to be hosted on one machine. For example, if the virtuser table contained: info@foo.com foo-info info@bar.com bar-info @baz.org jane@elsewhere.net then mail addressed to info@foo.com will be sent to the address foo-info, mail addressed to info@bar.com will be delivered to bar-info, and mail addressed to anyone at baz.org will be sent to jane@elsewhere.net.

We've been using one for close to a year now. It's a Tyan dual CPU motherboard (haven't tried FreeBSD-SMB yet, though). It works rather well as a file server (NFS, SMABA), web server, CVS repository, etc. Serves both Sun SPARC stations and PCs. Haven't had a problem with it and just ordered another one from them.

But there exist several standards of russian encoding itself. Personally I use KOI-8 for mail and news and CP866 for anything else (read: work). I have converted some CP866 fonts from DOS, and some from Cronyx KOI-8 fonts. The bad news is that Type1 fonts do not allow to use CP866.

The supfile is: *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_2_2 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all cvs-crypto ports-all The src-all and cvs-crypto updates gave the expected results, but the ports-all update replaced everything in /usr/ports with CVS files!

I created the boot floppy from the FreeBSD CD-ROM and rebooted the 486. I went through all the selections on the Novice installation and when it asked me where I was installing from I said CD_ROM. (I have a panasonic cd rom) Upon hitting enter, I received a return that the device was not supported. Now I can't get the system to recognize the drive at all. Where do I find the proper driver(s) and how do I install them on the boot floppy so I can continue the installation from CD_ROM?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's the functionality I |miss the most in xpdf. pdftops is part of xpdf ("grep pdftops /var/db/pkg/*/*"). In my experience, neither it nor GhostScript handle encrypted PDFs. For that you have to resort to the Acrobat Reader -- Adobe's plan, of course. As a side note, if you use GhostScript to convert AcroRead-generated postscript to your printer's native format for printing, on FreeBSD I've only had success with a "recent" version of the Aladdin GhostScript 4.03 package on ftp.freebsd.org. I say recent, because a previous Aladdin 4.03 package I downloaded from there a few months ago didn't handle the PostScript AcroRead generates. Ditto for the other two GhostScript packages on the FTP site as of a week ago.

You probably want to surf http://www.XFree86.Org/3.2A and http://www.XFree86.Org/3.2 for the latest card support info. Also, Cc your request to multimedia@freebsd.org. The S3 Virge server for XFree 3.2A (latest version) is in beta and still being extended. I'm running an STB Velocity 3D now in 1024x768x16bpp w/ 1152x900 desktop. I know from another FreeBSDer that it'll run fine in 1600x1200 16bpp mode on his Velocity 4Meg, but my monitor limits me. Also, there's currently a small bug in the 16bpp support with some Virge/VX-based card mode configurations in modes using more than 2Meg that can cause text to refresh in the wrong color (which is why I'm not running with a 1600x1200 16bpp desktop in 1024x768 now). It doesn't lock the server; just a little annoying (Harald Koenig, one of the Virge driver writers, has recently been able to reproduce this problem though and is looking into it.) Based on my experience, I'd say if you're looking for solid support right now, the Virge support isn't quite there yet--hopefully it will be by 3.2B. You might also look at the S3 968 boards (Diamond Stealth64 2000/3000s, #9 Motion 771, etc.). I've heard a number of good reports by XFree users running 16/24 bpp on these cards. You'll find a number of them on the multimedia@freebsd.org list. I bought the STB recently because: full XFree support is expected, 220MHz RAMDAC standard (high refresh rates in high resolutions and color depths -- gonna get me a big monitor :-), 4Meg VRAM standard (bigger screens in 16/24bpp), you can't beat the price -- $179 for a 4Meg VRAM card!, fast 2D, didn't care about 3D (it has it, but I hear its relatively slow compared to other cards), YUV port (for on-card video scaling and color conversion--for my Wincast TV card), and I couldn't bring myself to by Diamond based on their tech support and MSWindoze driver quality record. MSWindoze driver quality is still pretty important to me. Hope this helps.

Our provider wants us to move to a T-1, but we'll lose the nice burst capacity if we move to the T-1. Ideally, we'd like: . first 1.5mbps routed to the T-1 . additional bandwidth routed to the switch when needed I talked to our provider, and they said we should look for a software solution. I'm guessing that what needs to be done is have FreeBSD's default router changed dynamically (many times per second?) to adjust for bandwidth conditions. We want to take advantage of the flat rate T-1 as much as possible so we don't have to pay very much on the metered switch. Any ideas?

The board has a VESA connector plug, I wonder if anyone knows if I can add some special card that let's me run X, but can live with my qvision card (I have qvision drivers for win3.1 and I don't want to change them). I also have an internal tape backup unit (wt0, 250M) that I want to convert to external. It's a SCSI tape drive but it comes with an adapter for ISA boards that I use. I asked Wangtek and they say it may be done but they don't sell boxes. Anyone knows of available kits? TIA, Pedro.

Popclient works great. However, when I send mail from the command line, the return address is listed (as I understand it should) as the hostname I configured under sysconfig. This is a fabricated hostname and my ISP won't recognize it. Hence the mail I send cannot be properly responded to by my recipients. So my question is, can I configure sendmail in some way that it always lists the response address of all the mail from all my users as "metcalf@snet.net" rather than "jeff@dane.snet.net" or "sonya@dane.snet.net", etc.?

I have X running and for posterity I'll post my 'top' at the end of this message as well as an uptime.

If you would like to send me return mail direct showing your /etc/sysconfig I think that is where your problem will be. The rest of it is pretty straight forward. In the mean time you could check these: 1. Do not configure your tun0 device in the sysconfig file 2. Check that your not running linux emulation. (There is doc on this in the handbook but unless your looking at linux emulation you might miss it) The only reason I mention these is because they fowled me up ;-% Why did I want linux emulation anyways. _______________________________________ |\ /| | \ kevin_eliuk@sunshine.net / | | \ Kevin G.

I would guess that you have more inbound traffic than outbound. If that is the case, you'll have to control the packets' disposition on your feed's side of the link. This is going to be tricky. I have a bandwidth limiter using divert(4) sockets which you might be able to use as a framework to write your own daemon for this. Alternatively, if you keep specific routing info on the FreeBSD box upstream of the link, you can take the code which reads route info packets and bytes and use the info to adjust the destination for particular routes as required, to do the balancing. Another possibility would be to use mpd in ppp-over-tcp mode and hack it to do bandwidth on demand.

It attempts to install from the CD ROM, and does quite well, until it gets at 100%, and tells me that bin and other files can't be loaded: -1 of 1024 sectors (?) loaded... Don't know what to do...I have installed and reinstalled. Put in a new CD ROM (although its reading the other one also) and a new 2 GB HDD, specifically for FreeBSD. I'm at a loss now. I have tried to install utilizing the DOS utility...but, doesn't recognize my CD ROM. The install floppy does recognize the CD. I have copied the BIN directory to a DOS partition, and still won't install from there...same message as above. Is there an existing kernel that I could load? and build from it, one piece at a time? Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to install fbsd 2.1.7 on a pentium pro system with an ide cdrom. Thus far I have been unanble to have it recognize the cdrom whatsoever. The only way I have been able to utilize the cdrom is in the preinstallations staged when running setup through dos. I have been unable to get the atapi.flp boot disk to work.. I have also tried to utilize the setup program that transfers all of the files to free space on the drive then install it from there. This too has failed. I was able to get the system to boot earlier, but there is no login involved or anything I only get a # prompt. Any guidance would be appreciated.

No sign that the drive is or isn't being recognized at bootup. The same thing (doesn't) happen with the 2.2.1 boot.flp. As far as I know, the qic-80 drive is connected in the usual way to fdc0 via a tee-cable. It works fine in MS Windows. Appended is my kernel configuration file--note that I have only one 3.5 in. floppy, and I have tried designating the tape drive as both "drive 1" and "drive 2." For no good reason, I stripped all unused devices from the config file--this is really me complete mernel configuration file, named ALWANKERNEL. Any help would be appreciated!--didn't see anything quite relevant in the archives.
