And this way cannot do anything with system because / was mounted by system to be readonly. You cannot place the lost passwd file with backup,right? I'm not sure.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've started to set up printing on a FreeBSD 2.2-9706xx-RELENG box and the instructions from the Handbook seem to be pretty thorough. In fact, printing seems to work from the box to the Panasonic KX-P4400 printer I have hooked up. However, when I spool something (with "lptest 80 50 | lpr"), the printer receives part of the output right away, then it WAITS FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, then seems to get the rest of the output and prints it. The filter I'm using does emit a form feed at the end. Does anyone have any idea why printing pauses for so long? I haven't changed much from the GENERIC kernel except to add tun0. Could this pause be coming from whether the printer is configured for polling or interrupts?

Unless the two drives are identical, or at least the 2nd is larger, you could use "dd if=/dev/rsd0 of=rsd1 bs=1024k" or similar. Need to do more checking on the exact device to use for the copy, you want a "whole device" device, not one working out of slices. I suggest you bite the bullet and let sysinstall create a new partition table and all that good stuff on your new disk. It'll even mkfs for you.

Of course you'll need the appropriate root wrapper. Alternatively, run ppp in -auto mode and set up a dfilter that only brings up the connection with a ping to your ISP gateway. You can then point FvwmButtons at a "ping myisp". The converse "disconnect" would do something like "pppctl -p xxx 3000 close". -- Brian , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

I should clarify; the patches were pre 3.3.1, which should now be present in 3.3.1; the 'arc' & 'server' patches. Also, for all of the patches, and "Option" lines I added to my XF86Config file, I still could not get the SVGA server to work properly. At best, I could get a 3rd, even a 4th restart. But in the end it still failed with a frozen system. I eventually decided to just use the S3V server. The 'arc' drawing problem only showed up on the S3V server, not the SVGA server. Those who responded to my earlier August newsgroup post on this problem, half said they had no problem with the SVGA server, while clearly just as many did experience a 'no second restart'. It would seem to be a combination of operating systems and hardware involved here. However, in an effort to track down a problem I was having with ImageMagick's "convert" and the processing of large PCD (photo_cd) images in FreeBSD-2.2.2, I did a fresh install of 2.2.1 on this ASUS P55T2P4 based system. While I was in 2.2.1, I also did a fresh build of XFree-3.3, without the patches. To my surprise, the 'no second restart' problem was not present, atleast not as bad as it was in 2.2.2. The SVGA server did eventually fail under 2.2.1, but I came away with the conclusion that their are differences between 2.2.1 and 2.2.2. Differences that were most apparent in ImageMagick's 'convert' program.

Before, I used 2.1.7 with an SMC card (BNC) on ed0 for the inner net and another SMC (BNC,AUI,TP) for the outer net. Ftp transfers went up to 1MB/s via the outer interface. After installation of 2.2.2 I exchanged the cards (incl. the I/O,IRQ-entries). However, I got no connection to the outer net (ping, ...). Nevertheless, the light on the network card was heavily flashing and tcpdump revealed that indeed data was sent and received. After testing 5 different cards I found that only the SMC (BNC,AUI,TP) (which was in at first) and a NE2000 (BNC,TP) work on the outer net. The others (2 SMC and 1 WD w/o TP) send and receive data (tcpdump) but even ping doesn't do. Now I found that the NE2000 gives a really bad performance (~20-40 kB/s with ftp). Currently I have ed0 at 0x300-0x31f irq 10 maddr 0xd8000 msize 16384 on isa ed0: address 00:00:c0:26:01:d5, type SMC8216/SMC8216C (16 bit) ed1 at 0x320-0x33f irq 5 on isa ed1: address 00:00:b4:3b:2e:cb, type NE2000 (16 bit) (The I/O,IRQs are hard-jumpered.)

Yes. cvsup(1) -i pattern Causes cvsup to include only files and directories matching pattern in the update. If a directory matches the pattern, then the entire subtree rooted at the directory is included. If this option is specified multiple times, the patterns are combined using the `or' operation. If no -i options are giv- en, the default is to update all files in each collection. The pattern is a standard file name pattern. It is inter- preted relative to the collection's prefix directory. Slash characters are matched only by explicit slashes in the pat- tern. Leading periods in file name are not treated special- ly. -- Wolfram Schneider http://www.apfel.de/~wosch/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 14 12:57:32 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA26704 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 12:57:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from DonaldBurr.dyn.ml.org (ppp6183.la.inreach.net [199.107.160.183]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA26694 for ; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 12:57:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from dburr@localhost) by DonaldBurr.dyn.ml.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA01068; Sun, 14 Sep 1997 12:58:23 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.1 [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <199709141303.GAA09037@hub.freebsd.org> Date: Sun, 14 Sep 1997 12:54:17 -0700 (PDT) Organization: Starfleet Command From: Donald Burr To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: questions-digest V3 #415 Cc: shamrock@avalanche.dyndns.com Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- My secret spy satellite informs me that on 14-Sep-97, owner-questions-digest@FreeBSD.ORG wrote: >From: mark shamrock >Date: Sat, 13 Sep 1997 22:05:28 +0000 >Subject: xbased. > >does anyone know of an xbased programm for initiating a ppp connection? >id appreciate any help. Take a look at EzPPP, available at: http://www.serv.net/~cameron/ezppp/ This is a Linux program, but I don't see why it couldn't be ported to FreeBSD. There is a Linux binary on this site, but I would recommend grabbing the source code and recompiling if possible (but the Linux binary could work, I don't know, I've never tried it.) PS: It requires the "Qt" graphics library, which is a commercial product (but it is free for personal/non-commercial use, sort of like a GPL type copyright). See: http://www.troll.no/ It is available in source code form and build very nicely under 2.2.2-RELEASE.

It comes up using the TPE port (twisted pair) and I would like to switch it to the BNC port. The board is supposed to autosense, but did not seem to, correctly. Ifconfig gives me an incantation error using ``media 10base2/BNC'' and ``link2'' does not seem to do it either, because it comes back on the next reboot with twisted pair, again. The Intel setup program says the card is working OK. Can anyone suggest the correct incantation of ifconfig to bring it up on the BNC coax port, or is there a different/better/optimal way to do it? What would be the three incantations to bring it up on any of the 3 ports?

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.

SCCS is proprietary, which is why it can't be put in the ports collection. In addition, it's very inferior to RCS, though it's unlikely that this will convince your customer to change. You might like to snoop round AT&T's sites. I seem to recall that they will license software like this. Sorry I don't have a URL.

Your local network has the address range 208.25.49.0 to 208.25.49.255. Since it's arp that's complaining, it would appear that you have non-local hosts on the network. Now you might come and say "but Microsoft does it". Yes, that's right. Microsoft is broken.

I'd guess that 144.228.147.22 is doing proxy arp, and it's incorrectly configured. Can you ping the host? Can you traceroute? If this is the only other machine on the net, as the netstat -nr output suggests, then just disable proxy arp.

The back-end starts fine but when I try to attach with any client utility or software, it terminates both the server and client with...

I did a little digging in some system source files, and I can't see a way to even try to do this without possible breaking every other piece of installed software on the machine... but then I'm new at this. :) Any Ideas???

You didn't mention what version of FreeBSD you're using, but I think this message is benign. What should make things better is that you give the alias ifconfig wityh a netmask of 255.255.255.255, i.e.: ifconfig ep0 inet 195.76.200.3 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias This will also set up routing for the new alias automatically (which is the reason why your alias doesn't work in the current config). > > ---------------------- > > # ifconfig ep0 inet 195.76.200.2 > # ifconfig ep0 inet alias 195.76.200.3 > ifconfig: error( SIOCAIFADDR ) File exist. > > when i execute "ifconfig ep0", the system list the alias IP address > but this address not respond. > > # ifconfig ep0 > ....... > inet 195.76.200.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 195.76.200.255 > inet 195.76.200.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 195.76.200.255 > > # ping 195.76.200.3 > PING 195.76.200.3: (195.76.200.3): 56 data bytes > . > . > 1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss. You probably don't have a routing table entry for the alias. See above for the fix.

Learning the tools is definately a plus. Keep up with the vendor specifics however, as that is what ALOT of companies use as a first cut for hiring an SA. I would start to purchase, read, and use the ora books. DNS and Bind, NFS and NIS, Perl, and the others... use them as reference. Load a free unix at home and work with it.. I have known MANY success stories for people that started learning at home and now run a multimillion dollar company. I am one. One other suggestion, and mabey get this book first, Unix System Adminstration Handbook, fondly called the Red Book. By Nemeth, Snyder, Seebass, and Hein. Well worth it's weight in gold.

You want to install the sox package. It'll convert from .wav to .au, allowing you to play a .wav through `/dev/audio', using this command line: sox file.wav -t au - >/dev/audio where file.wav is the WAV file to be played. Sox is typically available as a port or a package. Check your CD-ROM or pull it down from ftp.freebsd.org. > also is it possible to record sounds with freebsd then play them back? I've done this, again using `sox' to convert and manipulate what came off the microphone. I no longer have the script I used to use, though, and anyway I'm sure there's a more efficient way to do it than the method I was using. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ They just buzzed and buzzed.....buzzed.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 15 Sep 1997 10:43:10 -0400 (EDT) Cc: rdkeys@seedlab1.cropsci.ncsu.edu (User RDKEYS Robert D.

Currently I am using an old AIX PS/2 box and a Sun box. I can use either perl 4.36 or 5.04. Has anyone had any particular problems with majordomo severs on either 2.2 or 3.0 that I should be aware of ahead of time? It seems to be in the ports builds on either revision level, on ftp.freebsd.org. Perl seems to be at 5.004.01 on either revision level, also. It sounds like it should build out of the box, fairly well. From a sysadmin point of view, should I wait until 2.2.5 is released and use that as the basis, or is a current daily releng/current snapshot by ftp sufficient? Once up, the machine is not likely to change very often and will mostly sit in the bilges and run until it crashes or dies of old age. The projected machine will act as a majordomo server to about 300 accounts and act as a web server down the road, for a ham radio club. It is a 16 meg ram generic pentium box at 120mhz or thereabout, and about a 1 gig drive. Are there any particular system settings for process limits, ulimits, etc., that should be checked/set first? Is a 1 gig drive sufficient? I sense it will probably do, but might be a bit tight if webbing is added later. Most users will be simple email list readers and the web pages will be minimal, and not likely to grow greatly. At most, I would expect around a dozen or so users concurrently. I don't have a good feel for how much disk space to alot if most of the majordomo mail is kept on the machine, and not forwarded. If half of it is forwarded out, then 1 gig might still be ok, I think. Any suggestions/experiences/comments/war-stories/horror-stories appreciated.

Well worth it's weight in gold. Good luck! A serious UNIX SA will have a large library of O'Reilly books. A good book to start with is _Essential System Administration_ by AElen Frisch commonly known as the Armadillo Book. Still, I think the best way to learn how to be a UNIX SA is to be a UNIX SA. That means running, ruining, fixing, and fighting with your own UNIX system. There are several free UNIXes available, but to learn about UNIX, I would recommend NetBSD. Both Linux and FreeBSD have a lot of nice tools that make installation more user-friendly. NetBSD requires more work to install and get your system up and running, but once it is running, you will have learned a lot.

I am quite new to the system but find it amazingly interesting and am willing to spend some time trying to figure it out. So I decided to write you a little note explaining my problems: When I try to copy the boot.blp t a floopy it does not let me, it says to insert a higher capacity disk. Also which files should I download to have just the basic system? Can I run the setup from Windows 95 or NT? I am sorry to bother you with this simple request but I am sure other people have run into the same problems. I would very much appreciate your response. Sincerely, Luciano.

My sound card on my home machine uses two IRQ's (an old ProAudio Spectrum) and they conflict with the parallel port IRQ's. I built a kernel with ALLOW_CONFLICTS_IOADDR, ALLOW_CONFLICT_IRQ, and ALLOW_CONFLICT_DMA and I seem to be able to configure the kernel on bootup (with -c) to use one set of IRQ's etc. or the other, so I can either print or get sound on any given boot but not both.

The same sort of switchbox stuff would be required with either setup, I think? And whether it's two motherboards in one case or two "computers", what one needs to get them to connect--an ethernet card in each, I think?--is the same?

Try either setenv TERM vt100 or telnet from an xterm. Another alternative is just to use rlogin, which doesn't seem to have the strict limitations on term that telnet does. One other thing you might want to do is add cons25 to your Linux termcap. On my RedHat system, I think I just added cons25 as another name for scoansi and it seemed to work OK. This doesn't fix the telnet problem, but makes the terminal much nicer if you're rlogging in.

It seems, that the different cards are more or less sensitive to correct termination. The cable to the outer net was terminated with 25 Ohm (I never had reason to measure it).

How much swap do you need depends on the disparity of your RAM and total intended working set size--in other words if your apps require 100 Megs of memory, and you have only 20 Megs of RAM, you'd better have at least 80 Megs of swap. You might need even full 100 Megs of swap if the particular VM implementation reserves swap space for all potentially written RAM pages. The size of the swap area does imply an overhead consisting mainly of the free swap page list which is usually implemented as a bitmap. At 1 Byte per 32 KBype of swap (4 KByte page size is assumed), this overhead is rather negligible. There are some other issues (page identity lists, active working set) which are consequences of the computer usage patterns and not the swap size per se. /Marino > > -- > Paul Dekkers (psd@nev.ml.org or psd@dds.nl) > N.E.V - Nescio Ergo Valeo > > From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Sep 15 11:11:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id LAA14052 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 15 Sep 1997 11:11:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from keywest.ird.rl.af.mil (KEYWEST.IRD.RL.AF.MIL [128.132.193.224]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id LAA14041 for ; Mon, 15 Sep 1997 11:11:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: by keywest.ird.rl.af.mil with Microsoft Exchange (IMC 4.0.837.3) id <01BCC1E1.9A6BA700@keywest.ird.rl.af.mil>; Mon, 15 Sep 1997 14:13:56 -0400 Message-ID: From: "Goeringer, Michael" To: "'Luciano Uenoyama'" Cc: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: RE: Questions Date: Mon, 15 Sep 1997 14:13:54 -0400 X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.837.3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, the boot.flp is an image file.

My sound card on my home machine uses two IRQ's (an old ProAudio Spectrum) and they conflict with the parallel port IRQ's. I built a kernel with ALLOW_CONFLICTS_IOADDR, ALLOW_CONFLICT_IRQ, and ALLOW_CONFLICT_DMA and I seem to be able to configure the kernel on bootup (with -c) to use one set of IRQ's etc. or the other, so I can either print or get sound on any given boot but not both.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, In a bout of nostalgia for SunOS, I set up Xview and olwm at home yesterday. olwm came up OK, but there was a problem with the library. I was wondering whether anyone else has this problem. In a cmdtool, a full screen program such as vi will kill the cmdtool with an error messages: (null): undefined symbol "_cfree" called from \ cmdtool:/usr/X11R6/lib/libxview.so.3.2 at 0x8121710 (line wrapped by me). the TERMCAP seems to be picked up ok. Also, (possibly related?) when I tried to su (to root) the window just hung (no input accepted). Just starting shelltool gave the same _cfree error message as above (the window never appeared). It also complained: "Make sure that you can write /var/run/utmp!" on every invocation of cmdtool. Just to be sure, I did a pkg_delete on all the xview stuff and installed the package instead of compiling the port as I had done originally; same problem. This on a 486DX33 with 2.2 and XFree86 3.3.1 (36MB memory, plenty of disk space, 64MB of swap, /tmp mounted on MFS). Anyone have any ideas? TIA, Bud Dodson PS, no I don't plan to run olwm all the time. -- M. L.

So, I'm trying the *deskjet* option, but the SETUP script tells me that I must have something called rewindstdin compiled in the same directory as the one from which I'm make-ing apsfilter. I've searched my system and the Ports section @ freebsd.org to no avail. What is this thing, and where can I find a version of it that will work on my system? Thanks for any help you can give me!

I'm not sure at what point during bootup one needs to do this, but presumably it's before sounds play, and before anything is spooled. Drop a command into rc.local and try it out. :-) (Changing to polled also solved my recent problem printing to a Panasonic KX-P4400.) A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers font to be sent to beneficiaries and senders of UCE/SPAM. @ mcs.net Wishes are like dishes.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, everyone. I'm still trying to get my 2.2.1-R box to print to a HP DJ 320. I've installed apsfilter and tried the *cdeskjet* option. That doesn't work, even though I have a color DeskJet. So, I'm trying the *deskjet* option, but the SETUP script tells me that I must have something called rewindstdin compiled in the same directory as the one from which I'm make-ing apsfilter. I've searched my system and the Ports section @ freebsd.org to no avail. What is this thing, and where can I find a version of it that will work on my system? Thanks for any help you can give me!

You don't need nfsiod for mounting, but you do need to resolve the names. If you're running a name server, I don't think it's reasonable to expect an /etc/hosts entry for each system you're mounting NFS file systems from.

If you haven't compiled your own kernel yet, I suggest you execute the following steps: % cd /sys/i386/conf % cp LINT MYKERNEL % vi MYKERNEL (or emacs, or whatever) % config MYKERNEL % cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL % make depend % make all % make install Be sure to read through the MYKERNEL file very carefully, and enable support for thed devices you want, and disable support for those you don't. The line to enable BPF is: (Be sure this line is enabled!) pseudo-device bpf where is the number of interfaces you want to snoop on (be sure to include PPP/PLIP/SLIP/tun links, if you are using them!)

These files are not "standard" files, i.e. you CANNOT just say "copy boot.flp a:" from DOS. YOu need to write the actual file to a disk image, using a program such as "rawrite" (this i available on the FreeBSD ftp site, in the 'tools/' (?) subdirectory. > Also which files should I download to have just the basic system? YOu will want all of the files in the "bin" directory. Bear in mind that, with these, you don't get much of the "neato stuff" that FreeBSD comes with, such as the source code to the kernel (which you will need if you want to configure additional devices or other stuff), etc. Once you download them, you can either: (a) Create a 'C:\FREEBSD\BIN\' directory on your hard drive, and copy them all there. Then, choose the "From hard drive" or "From DOS partition" (?) option when installing (b) copy them onto floppy disks (you can fit about three files on a 1.44 MB disk), and choose the "install from floppies" method. If you have a direct connection to the Net (e.g. ethernet), or even if you have a PPP link with a 28.8 or greater modem, you can also install FreeBSD directly over the Internet, WITHOUT having to download any special files or anything (just the boot disk image as mentioned earlier). Choose the "FTP" method for installing, and when prompted, set up your PPP connection as described. It worked for me. > Can I run the setup from Windows 95 or NT? No. YOu must create the boot disk like I mentioned, and boot from it. BTW: all of this information is in the FreeBSD FAQ.

Page 9 of the manual states flatly that "System Commander supports drives up to 8.1 GB in size, ...". In fact, I boot Linux from exactly the same location on my second EIDE drive with no problems. What I eventually did was to de- install System Commander, then install FreeBSD yet again, this time using the "Install MBR" option ... and it worked! I could boot FreeBSD. However, when I re- installed System Commander and tried to boot my newly installed FreeBSD using that, I was once again back to the "No bootable partition" message. Now, System Commander does have a bad habit of ****ing around with the System Indicator byte in partition table entries (it loves to set bit 4) - but that doesn't seem to bother any other OS I'm running - Linux, OS/2 Warp, MSDOS, and, yes, even SCO once I overcame its gratuitous reorganization of the partition table. One option would be just to use "Booteasy"; but the problem there is that two of these OSes boot from my second drive, and Booteasy only shows me options for my first drive. System Commander also provides a "Boot through MBR" option in which a file containing MBR data is read into memory, and control transfers to that. I had saved the MBR containing "Booteasy" and tried that. Sure enough, I could select it from System Commander's menu, and FreeBSD would boot. However, on rebooting, SC was out of the picture, and I was once again back to Booteasy. This indicates that somehow the MBR was overwritten in the proces of booting up FreeBSD. Trying to recover from that left my first drive unaccessable until trusty Linux was brought into play from a floppy to repair the damage. So it'll be a while before I do that again. I guess what's really confusing me now is why boot code for a particular partition should care what's in the MBR? Whatever is in the MBR obviously has run, located the partition boot sector, loaded that, and transferred control to it. Could it be that "Booteasy" is a little too paranoid? Less checking and validation might improve interoperability - IMHO. At any rate, the FreeBSD boot procedure has me stumped. Is source code available for "Booteasy"? Perhaps being able to see what is actually going on might help me to resolve matters. Looks like I also need to browse through V Communications info to see if they say anything about FreeBSD, and Free BSD info to see what I can resolve, there. In the meantime, thanks for your interest in my problem.

When one of "our" kind can bust into that there "other" world of 'dows, that is rather impressive, and somewhat heartening. It gave me warm fuzzies to point a browser at an NT machine and be greeted with "powered by Apache". And if there is support in the win32 Apache for .asps, then perhaps there's a way to bring that into *nix Apache...

There is support for most of the ISAPI stuff in Apache running on NT, but the ISAPI ASP DLL doesn't work last I knew. In any case, the ISAPI ASP DLL is just a transitionary element until ASP support is directly integrated into IIS; the ISAPI DLL for it may go away at any point. ASP is very annoying to implement, and even worse on a platform-independent basis, because it relies so heavily on MS things like Visual Basic and ActiveX. ChiliSoft (http://www.chilisoft.net/) has a non-MS ASP implementation for NT. They have one in the works for Unix, but it involves reimplementing a lot of stuff. This enters the world of proprietary standards (well, not standards since that would imply there is a standard) and becomes very difficult to implement. There are some somewhat ASP like things that provide server side scripting like mod_perl and PHP available for Apache, but they don't give you the same compatability with ASP that you get with IIS.

I just realized that I documented the safe way to do this in the disk formatting tutorial (now at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat -- update your URLs!). It's basically a tar c | tar x type operation except it calls pax directly. (When I did it using dump/restore I didn't keep the command lines, but the pax style was submitted to me and is equivalent.)

There was (is?) a known bug with ppp that will cause it to drop out under heavy traffic. You might try a newer boot floppy and use the options menu and tell it it's installing 2.2.2-RELEASE instead. > I hope that there's something easy here; I'd rather not have to (for the > third time) pull down a zillion files and transfer them, six at a time, > onto a zillion floppies, and sit at my computer switching floppies for > hours.

If you're doing an upgrade or have a supported removable disk, did you know you can download the files ahead of time to a directory structure and then install files from the local FS? It takes longer than over a local net link because of the file access but saves you some problems if the boot floppy is giving you pain.

Moused has first crack at your mouse, and it has to translate what it gets over to Mouse Systems so X can see it. I don't know what your mouse is doing to make the middle button work -- maybe it's a chord click?

You might fiddle with a new cable, checking jumpers, and bringing your CDROM over onto the same cable as the hard disk.

I have have a 1 gig for my personal box, and we have a pair of 400mb's in our 2.2.1 box running a small majordomo and web server, and there is plenty of space left.

Some printers do wait for the queue to clear and require a manual form feed to clear, although putting out a formfeed character will do the same thing, usually. Are you sure that ff is getting out? We had trouble at one point with something eating it. Also check your printer's manual, it may have a special procedure for emptying the queue. The older Panasonic manuals are mini-programming manuals, IIRC. You might try polled mode printing too; irq 7 is the junk IRQ and something may be making it stick up.

After many attempts at installing we managed to get to the thing going. Luckily, thanks to the internet, we managed to get the dialup comms going. This allowed us the facility to dial into clients machines and perform routine maintenance. One of my new problems is that a couple of our customers have switchboards. I have tried to find the answer on the net but have yet to find anything concrete. My only other option is to get the client to dial-up an ISP and then notify me of the IP address. Once connected I can access his machine. This is tedious and requires hi input from the customer side as well as an additional ISP account per switchboard client. The other major problem we have is that: To install the new version of our package we need to visit each of customers, load the new operating system and then the package. We would like to issue our field personnel with an external CD-Rom drive and allow them, via the parallel port, to load the entire package. The problem we are having is that there does not seem to be a driver to access the external drive. Can you advise me of the correct place to look for a solution (if it exists)? "Please" can you advise.

I have purchased a ETHERLINK III (3c589D) pcmcia card for my Laptop, and I can't get it to work. Steps Taken: On FreeBSD 2.2.2 I have rebuild the kernel to add PCCARD support. controler crd0 device pcic0 at crd? device pcic1 at crd? I have not configured the card from Win95, but the default IRQ and IO seem to be OK. In /etc/rc.conf set pc_card_enable to "yes". I restarted. What hapends: At boot time I get the messages "pccard XX driver added" for the the sio and network drivers. XX is the name of the driver I also get later "/dev/card0 device not configured". None of the network drivers recognize the card, and give the default "XX not found at xxx" ze0 should be the appropiate driver. What to do? : I dont know if I have made something wrong. What can I do to get it to work, or where to find documentation about these drivers. A.Pisa Thanks in Advance.

The price is about $30 for the CDROM. I picked up Sco OpenDesktop and Unixware licenses off the net (free) and ordered both Roms from SCO. I used to teach SVR3, SVR4 and BSD4.3 Sysadmin and developed a fairly strong liking for some of the Sys5 stuff (and I'm working at implementing some as a FreeBSD package in my spare time -- including the Sys5 init/startup and the Pyramid OS/x Conditional symbolic links which lets the system look like System 5 or BSD based on user configuration). I'm even doing the Pyramid dual init tricks. Unfortunately my motherboard blew out and my "development box" is now my current production box.

I have a Microsoft Defender mouse (PS/2) for which I already enabled the approriate driver in the kernel but the mouse is still inactive. Is there here any further configuration that I have to do somewhere on my system to enable the mouse or do I have to change the driver for the mouse (I only found one driver for PS/2 mouse)? 2.Now the networking question. My PC is connected to a Ethernet network and I have a 3Com 3c900 Etherlink XL PCI card installed on my computer. I choose the following parameters for the network in the kernel: device de0 device fxp0 device vx0 options INET pseudo_device ppp 1 pseudo_device ether pseudo_device loop After booting I get the following output : vx0 <3COM 3c900 Etherlink XL PCI> rev0 int a irq 9 on pci0:10 but I still can't connect to other hosts on the network and vis versa. Since I don't see the name of my network card on the FreeBSD list, is it possible that I'm using the wrong one or is it only a question of driver choice or is there much more work to do besides what I did? Thanks very much in advance and please excuse my novice questions (I'm new with this). Sami. PS. Please e-mail directely to this address.

It is a ancient thing that uses a caddy: Board: Sony CDB-904 8 bit card with three switch blocks of jumpers. The date on the board is 1989. CDROM drive: Sony CDU-510-12 drive using disk caddies. I suspect it is an older single-speed drive. 1. Is this ancient drive compatible with FreeBSD? Reading all the hardware txt files back to 2.0.5 just indicates ``sony cdrom'' of all types. 2. Does anyone know of the proper switch jumper settings to bring it up correctly for FreeBSD? There are three switch blocks, as follows: ADDRESS: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 on off IRQ 2 3 4 5 x x I/O CH RDY xx on off DRQ 1/2/3 1 2 3 1 2 3 DACK 1/2/3 on off The address needs to be set to 230H, but which swiches to set? The IRQ I have open is 5, but which one is best? I have no idea what the DRQ/DACK lines set, but what should they be? Yeah, I know, I need a ``modern'' cdrom, but this is what I have to work with right now, and it was a freebie.....(:+{{..... Any pointers/suggestions/comments/horror-stories/etc., appreciated.

Here's what I did: vidcontrol -f 8x8 iso-8x8 vidcontrol VGA_80x50 Afterwards, the screen is displaying 80x50 character cells, but it's still using the 8x16 font, so I only see the top half of the characters. I added in a few printfs to the syscons driver around the "switch(font_size)" line in syscons.c:set_mode(), and it does indeed execute code to change to the 8x8 character set, but it seems to have no effect. I got it to work by padding the 8x8 font out to an 8x16 font and loading that before the switch, but I'd like to know if this is actually a bug in the syscons driver, or just a general limitation of my VGA adapter. I'm running 2.2.2-RELEASE, and the video card is a 2MB Mach-64. Any one got any ideas? Mail directly please, I'm not subscribed to freebsd-questions. Cheers, Peter.

Maybe there is a chance an 8" drive > can be attached to my FreeBSD system? Why laugh.... you have an honest application that needs a proper solution. Those that would laugh are shortsighted..... I use 5-1/4 AT HD drives as 8 inchers on my Cromemco Z80 box. It works fine, if the cabling is correct. If not you need to make up an adapter cable to go from 50 pin to 34 pin. Also there is a drive ready jumper that may need to be set or unset depending upon going from 5 to 8 or from 8 to 5 inch busses. That was pin 11/12 on the 50 pin header if I remember correctly, but I would have to check on my machine to make sure exactly. It is critical to proper timing operation of the AT HD disks on a z80 5 inch buss. The 8 incher would need to be set as drive 2 to work correctly on the flippy cables on PC controllers. There is no logical reason why it should not work on a FreeBSD box. Using no format control software, it is merely a plain 5-1/4 inch HD floppy. Using mtools it could be a dos floppy clone. Using cpmtools it could be a CP/M clone. It might even be possible to run a cpmemulator in a dosshell on a unix box.....(:+}}..... talk about overhead! > I actually have a couple of 8" drives.

Who knows what format they are in! May find > a hard-sectored system but have soft-sectored floppies. A xerox 820 would be good if the disks you have are SSSD. Then kermit things across. IF they are SSSD format disks, any CP/M box will read them. If higher density or double sided, there was no standard, so you are shooting from the hip. On FreeBSD, it would be the controller that would determine whether or not SSSD operations could be done (some do, many don't). They used to sell a special floppy card designed specifically to run SSSD operations (Compaticard series cards). That, and a floppyless ide card in a generic 3/486 box with FreeBSD, and the proper software hacks, and it should work just fine. With DSDD drives and proper cabling, the FreeBSD box should care less about it being 8 inch or 5-1/4 inch. Some 8 inchers were slow in track seeks, so IF the timing for track stepping is too fast, the 8 inchers would lag and be problematic, unless delay loops were added to the floppy drivers, maybe, to slow the seeks from 6ms down to 15-20ms or so for most 8 inchers. I have one of those cards somewhere, and a spare 386 board..... maybe I will load it up in an xt crate and see if I can hook an 8 incher to it and have FreeBSD spin it up. Ahh, ain't dinosaurian tech fun.....(:+}}.... The reality is that you would probably be better off kermitting it into a serial port..... (:+}}..... less hacking required, but you need a clone of the original machine which wrote the 8 inchers. Anymore I use kermit to connect my CP/M boxes to dosstations or unix workstations..... If you need kermit for the xerox, I probably have that set up somewhere. > David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) > ====================================================================== > The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its > capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system. CP/M was rather tight in its overhead, since the whole OS would fit in about 6.5K, and there was a z80 unix somewhere, too, but it took about 32K compiled from assembler and did not leave much room on a 64K box......

Important enough that the answer, "we don't know how to read it" or "we no longer have the equipment" isn't good enough for the boss. Meanwhile somebody is working the problem from the other side, asking permission to destroy the floppies and solve the problem that way. Heck, we still some old junk PC and 7-track tape drive laying around, in pieces, nobody really knows how to put it together. But all because we have 7-track tapes in the archive. Its a crying shame our 9-track drives can't be made/coaxed to read the 7-track tapes. Somebody didn't think to keep a computer with 8" floppy interface, but we still have a couple of 8" floppy drives. And to top it off, nobody is sure what *format* the 8" floppies were written in. For all I know, it could be from a PDP-11. And no, the irony isn't lost on me, that we don't know how they were written but that they are considered too precious to lose. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ====================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

I have a similar case where about 10 years of weather and plant quality data (peanut/soybean/etc), are on 5 and 8 inch cpm floppies (cpm equipment was used as dataloggers from about 1979-1987 because they worked, were cheap, etc.), and to build some long range models of this data over 10/20 year periods, that data has turned out to be rather important. Also, the only extant commented disassembler source to CP/M was found among those disks (taken off the internet in 1981, originally downloaded on 8 level paper tape, then transferred to 81K floppy!). That now resides on the CP/M web pages, rather then being lost forever. Granted the data may not be important to some, or many folks, but it still can be worthwhile. It can be a bear to get from cpm to dos to unix, and it really would be nice if unix could read them directly (i.e., 8 inch floppies). My working solution is to transfer the 8 inch data to AT HD clone 8 inch floppies, and work that via kermit into workstations for long-term archival. Much of the collective learned wisdom of that era is gone (most of the new kids on the block have never heard of CP/M or the like and may were only just born in its heyday.....tells us how old us old pfartes are....(:+}}....). Maybe his boss's data is important manuscripts or legal documentation or credit data or whatever..... who knows, but the application of data transfer from old systems such as CP/M and DOS to unix (our pet unix like FreeBSD) is an entirely valid application. I draws a few chuckles, though.....(:+}}.

In polled mode, the lpt driver doesn't use an interrupt. Flip the lptcontrol -p in your /etc/rc.local. To ensure that the lpt driver isn't assigned an interrupt on boot-up, or that it'll share its interrupt with the sound driver, I think you can do one of three things. 1) Build a kernel with this in your kernel config: device lpt0 at isa? port? tty instead of this: device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr LINT seems to indicate that's a valid thing to do. 2) Or boot -c and remove the IRQ assignment from the lpt driver (not too convenient since you'll need to do this for each new kernel), or 3) declare your sb0 device with the conflicts statement: device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr in your kernel config file. This is supposed to let it share. Seems like I had that working on a PAS-16 years ago. Then just use the parallel port driver in polled mode.

I wish I could help, since I used to design these critters (the drives, not the diskettes) some 15-20 years ago, but alas, I'm but the mechanical guy and know next to nothing of the interfaces and electron pathways. I do know that there were MANY different ways to interface to these drives back then, standardization not being what we've come to expect today. If they weren't written on a CP/M system they could be ANYthing. The drives I designed were used in Trash 80 and Datapoint systems and the formatting was NOT compatible with CP/M.

First, you get your boss to sleuth-out the answers to what format and what computer they were rigged to. The programmer or MIS type who managed the machine is still alive, so if you have employee files back that far you might have luck with FOUR11.com. Second, you can verify the drive manufacturer's specs. Many libraries still have microfilm libraries which would include the tech magazines such as Electronic Design which published specs on such drives. If it's a name brand like Digital or IBM, of course, your search will be much narrower. If it is a Shugart, it's more likely that it could be any number of formats. ID'ing the sector size and track width would be more tricky, but if I remember right the spindle speed was fixed. That being the case, and the cable pinout being known, a good technician with a scope should be able to find the tracks by probing at the output of the sense amp. Most of the 8" drives used steppers to go between tracks across the platter, so track width should be easy to pinpoint. From here you could get to data, but unless it's ASCII or there's enough ASCII to help you get an idea of the data format, you'll still need to know the original software that wrote it. DBASE II, Peachtree, ??? Anyway, the data is reachable and you can get it into a computer by sinply running the drive through all tracks and reading the amplified data in through an ADC board. Knowing the OS will tell you what besides Track 0 contains file table data. Finally, 50 disks of data from those days is not much in today's terms. Once you have it in a system -- in whatever format -- you can then reduce it to ASCII or at least the binary pattern stored in digital form and decode from there. I think my first suggestion is the best, though. Remember that this IS only 15 years back, even though the technology is stone age. Those of us dinosaurs who do remember those days can still byte! -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 16 15:12:55 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id PAA23595 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 16 Sep 1997 15:12:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from izzy4.izzy.net (root@izzy4.izzy.net [198.108.102.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id PAA23586 for ; Tue, 16 Sep 1997 15:12:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from albert.TDFltd.com (stanny.izzy.net [198.108.50.131]) by izzy4.izzy.net (8.8.5/8.6.9) with SMTP id SAA05178; Tue, 16 Sep 1997 18:12:29 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19970916171224.006badfc@izzy.net> X-Sender: stanny@izzy.net Disposition-Notification-To: X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Tue, 16 Sep 1997 17:12:24 -0400 To: questions@freebsd.org From: Gary Stanny Subject: PPP & PAP - it hangs up after 7 seconds Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all - I am trying to convert a working scripted user ppp.conf to work on PAP.

Can you tell me what these different settings offer and which one I'm better off with for a parallel Iomega Zip and for laplink connection from my desktop to laptop.

Its something like: dump 0f - /src-filesystem | ( cd /dest-filesystem; restore rf - ) However, when restore finishes it asks if it should restore file ownership and modes. If you don't say "yes" then your result isn't really what we wanted. Haven't seen a way to disable that querry. Maybe the "y" option does that in addition to: y Restore will not ask whether it should abort the restore if it gets an error. It will always try to skip over the bad block(s) and continue as best it can. Have usually used "dump | restore" because Once Upon A Time "tar -cf - | tar -xf -" bit me and wrote multiple files where there was once a single file with multiple links. Am sure that wasn't a FreeBSD system. Might have been Linux. If not Linux then Sun or SGI.

Why laugh? Because sometimes if I don't laugh, I'll have to cry. The sad part is that so far no one is willing to authorize the destruction of these disks, no one knows what is on them, or what format they are in. In the past we've been known to take unknown data like this and simply dd it to a file and preserve that file with a note as to how we did it.

The intel udma controller is made actually a Promise Technology Ultra33 IDE. Promise Tech claims not to supprt freebsd or any other unix from the info gateway tech support could provide me. Their only advice was to connect the drive to the motherboard primary ide which freebsd did detect. Question is, will there be any updates to freebsd that will allow detection of the above card? or is it actually compatible now and I have another problem? Gateway tech said the difference from the promise controller and the motherboard ide is as great as 3-1 ratio, a visually noticable speed difference depending on what I use the pc for. I'd rather is the card if at all possible. So far I've checked the cables, the jumpers, and made numerous changes to the bios in an attempt to get it to recognize the card. Any more ideas before I pull it out?

Even if you have, it's unlikely that he'll present it.

It's been a while, and half my belongings are still in the shed after my recent move, but IIRC the signal lines on the 8" drives are the same as on the smaller drives, though things like "motor power" are redefined as "head load". The biggest problem you're likely to have is the data rate. If you're running SD, I think the rate is half that of the current 1.2 MB drives. There used to be a bit you could set in the commands to the 1793 to tell it that, but I don't have much experience with the more modern drives. DD drives have the same data rate as 1.2 MB drives (with 512 byte sectors, they also have about the same geometry, modulo 3 tracks less). Of course, you need to find out the sector size and such things. > I actually have a couple of 8" drives. > > Would be interested in any suggestions, FreeBSD related or not. > Meanwhile I've got a lead on a Xerox 820 with CP/M that may be able > to read these disks.

The FreeBSD docs for 2.2.2 indicate the that 3c589D is not supported. Appartently, 3Com made some significant changes in the D-version of the card. The PAO patches should work with this card and 2.2.2 however. At least it is listed as being supported. http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/PAO/ Another alternative is to upgrade to 3.0 which includes support for your card. I also have a 3c589D on my Thinkpad and so I just went for 3.0. The boot floppy recognized my card and it installed without any problems. Works great for me. Finally, if you are using FreeBSD on a laptop, you might want to subscribe to freebsd-mobile instead of/in addition to freebsd-questions. There is a lot less traffic, and the discussion are usually relevant for most laptop users.

This setup tell FreeBSD what is up next and what to expect. You will need to download (at minimum for a user installation) the above chunks to get a complete installation (not just the bin subdirectory) If you have real problems let me know and I'll let you borrow the CD for an installation and send out a floppy so that you can see.

My question is - is it possible to install freebsd on my home pc without screwing up my life? I just am nervous that trying to install FreeBSD on a partition will screw up my NT settings or who knows what. When it comes to having faith that NT will work without tripping over any changes I make, HAH! I've have absolutely gotten sick to death of having to completely reinstall and reconfigure windows (any version - as they are all quirky) over and over everytime it burps. One of these days I'd like to get rid of all Microsoft Products on my PC's - but many programs I have to work with for my job only work under MS windows. I'm currently running DOS6.22 and Windows NT 4.0 and all files are FAT. I've got a Cyrix 686-166+ on a Tyan motherboard with 32 meg edo memory. A 2.5 gig quantum bigfoot hard drive with an ATI 3D RAGE II video card. By the way I'm basically a newbie to FreeBSD - BUT I LOVE IT! I wish you guys would go commercial and blow bill gates and NT right out of the water.

You'll need a separate partition for FreeBSD. If your Microsoft products work on the other partitions before the installation, FreeBSD will not touch them, so they should still work after the installation. The only possible problem would be the boot manager, but possibly it would work with the one you currently have installed.

You have an environment variable PATH which contains a list of directories to search for executables. It seems that you have installed hypermail in your home directory, not a good idea, and that you don't have your home directory in your PATH, which *is* a good idea. Check the documentation for hypermail; you can probably install it in the correct place with 'make install'.

How about having them dial into one of your machines? Then you can connect to their box through the dialup link they established. (This assumes you assign a fixed IP for the dialup port, which is the easiest way to handle it.) > To install the new version of our package we need to visit each of > customers, load the new operating system and then the package. > > We would like to issue our field personnel with an external CD-Rom drive > and allow them, via the parallel port, to load the entire package.

No parallel-port devices are supported at current (I think? There was an attempt to get the Zip ppa driver in there at one point, you'll have to check with hackers). There isn't a problem if they have a SCSI controller; then you can plug a SCSI CDROM into the controller easy enough.

How about the pw program, particularly the `usermod' -h option? pw is a command-line utility to make changes to the password database. It shouldn't be too hard to have a Perl script feed the appropriate fields to it. `man pw' for more info.

One of these modes makes sure that bidirectional mode is enabled, and another is a high-speed interface that uses IRQs and DMAs. I think that enabling ECP is okay. You'll have to check with laplink's docs; if it works okay now, you can try fiddling the settings but it may not make much of a difference. FreeBSD could care less.

I used to have a similar problem on 2.1.0 until I replaced interrupt driven mode for the port with polling mode.

My measurements show that I am getting the entire 33MBytes/sec burst transfer rate, with 10MBytes/sec continuous data rate to/from the disk platters, on the outer zone, with a WDAC5100L disk drive. I currently have 7 IDE disk drives, 1 SCSI disk drive, and 2 SCSI CDROM drives on my system, and it all works well together. The two IDE interfaces on my system are the PIIX3 from the Natoma chipset, and the PDC20247 from the Promise board. Don't expect for it to be in -current until this weekend. :-).

All the BIOS needs to know is how to find the first sector on the disk, and that's independent of the BIOS.

I recently installed FreeBSD on a 486DX-2 66. When the machine is booting the card seems to be registering the network ... the top light on the back of the card is on ands the bottom light flashes. When the boot cycle probes it, it finds the card alright, correct port (300) memory address (d000) and irq (10). It does this with both the ie0 and ie1 drivers when I have them at those settings. However, after the card is probed, the bottom light ceases to flash and the network is always unreachable. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

There are two physical types of 8 inch disks. One has the index hole about 5 degrees east of north on the disk (that is a single sided disk), and the other has the index hole about 10 degrees east of north (that is a double sided disk). If you have the single sided disks, there is a reasonable probablility that you may have SSSD disk format, and that can be read on many machines. A very few disks were double punched for index holes, so you put a cover sticker over the index hole you did not want to use, to determine the sidedness of the disk. Other than that, you need to find an old timer around the company that remembers the manufacturers name of the machines used. That can be used to track down the format, exactly. There are programs for dos that will read any format, but you need to know fairly closely what format it is likely to be or you have to try several hundred until on hits correctly. One might could take the disk info tables and create something that would work. It might even be possible to dd the disk image into unix or dos and dd it back onto a clone 8 incher in 5 inch format and then read it on a dos box as is, with the cpm translators from simtelnet. Good Luck and back to FreeBSD.

I have run fbsd on 3 machines at home. One as a ppp router(486/66) for my home lan, just replaced with a cisco, one as an nfs/samba/www/ realvideo,CuSeeme, and src server (486/66), and the last one as my workstation (PPro 200). The 486's were/are running 2.2.2-RELEASE and the PPro is running 3.0-SNAP. I've found the SNAP release to be quite stable for me doing compiles/ a lot of X Stuff etc, but I'm wondering if 3.0-SNAP is stable enought to utilize at an ISP for news. The news server would be a Pent 133, 128MB Mem and 3 drives ccd'd for the actual news articles. Any suggestions re: whether or not I should venture down this road. Should I wait for 2.2.5 (although that like it might be too far down the road for my needs).

Use echo $SHELL to find out. .profile is for sh or bash. My .login has no path statement in it. I use csh (or tcsh) and the path statement is in .cshrc or .tcshrc. 2) After editing the path in, say, .cshrc, type source .cshrc to get the file reread so you don't have to log in again to find out if it worked. 3) Use echo $PATH to see your path statement.

Well I tried to install Free BSD on a Compaq P75 with an integrated Ethernet NIC (PCI bus). In the initialization window, the NIC is found and labeled lnc1 on int 11. So far so good. I then work my way through the prompts, and get to the place to install using FTP. At this point I type in the IP address, gateway, etc into the network config, and the debug window says that the initialization failed (FYI...the spelling of initialization is wrong in the debug window! It spelled initialisation). Using VTY4, I type ifconfig -a and the command reports that the interface is UP. But I am unable to ping it from a different PC, so I have to conclude that the interface is not up. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

I have a new installation of FreeBSD. I have two network cards in the machine and both are functioning. They reside on two separate subnets. I am trying to get the FreeBSD machine to route between the two subnets. I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2. I have gateway_enable="YES", router_enable="YES" router="routed" and route_flags="-s". Using ficticious numbers I have subnet 10.1.1.96 one one side of the machine and 10.2.1.96 on the other side. Both with a 27 bit mask (I know it shouldn't matter). Let's say that the FreeBSD machine is 10.1.1.97 and 10.2.1.97. From the 10.1.1.96 network I can ping 10.2.1.97 but I can't ping any other addresses on the 10.2.1.96 network. From the 10.2.1.96 network I can't even ping 10.1.1.97, which is really baffling. If anyone sees anything I could possibly have done wrong or has any suggestions on how to track down the problem I would really appreciate it.

During the installation of FreeBSD 2.1.5 I reset my machine during disc partitioning. Right after the one selects the package to install (X- Developer was selected) I committed to a single partition (3 slices selected from auto) of the BSD file system on a Wester Digital (Model Caviar 2540) 540 M-Byte HDD (1048 Cyls 16 Hds 63 Spt). When "newfs" was executing the partitioning procedure I hit the F1, 2, & 4 keys sequentially (bone headed clumsiness on my part) and the system bell sounded and would not stop. Thinking things had gone wrong I reset the machine. The system rebooted CMOS found the drive and identified it correctly (Size 540 Cyls 1048 Hds 16 PreComp 65535 Landing 1047 Sec 63 Mode Normal) but the disk is unavailable (not found) to either DOS or FreeBSD Install. When the kernel boots the drive is found and I believe assigned as device (I have another Western Digital HDD and a CD ROM as Primary Master/Slave while the 540 is a Secondary Master). When I use the Fixit Floppy and execute "disklabel -r /dev/wd2" from the command line I get and input/output error but you can see the drive activity LED light up and hear the disk respond. I would like to fix this HDD problem and install FreeBSD alone on the WD Caviar 2540 HDD. Would you lend me your expertise or direct me to someone who will help me to fix this problem? If you need a more detailed blow by blow description of the events that transpired please ask. I will supply any information that is needed to get this problem resolved.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.Org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to install FreeBSD on a laptop that has a ne2000 PCMCIA card, but I can't get FreeBSD to recognize the card. I read that if you set the irq for ed0 to -1, it will use the soft values........this is really what I need to do, since I really don't know the io address or irq of the card, and there is no way to set that information. When FreeBSD install disk boots, and it prompts you to enter irq, io base info for your hardware, it will not allow me to enter -1!! In the book it says this is valid for ed0. I also tried to install by using a serial link (null modem cable) to my linux box, which DOES have a cdrom. I nfs exported /cdrom world, the PPP LCP negotiates on both ends, the interface comes up no errors, the routes are added at both ends. I can't ping the FreeBSD laptop however........I did a tcpdump on the ppp interface from the linux machine, and I can see my pings going out over it, but nothing returned. I also didnt see any nfs activity. Does the minimal kernel of FreeBSD on the install floppy have simple tcp services such as ping enabled? It sounds like its routing, but it isn't, I work with enough routers to know correct routing.

I just set up a machine running FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE. It is a pentium 133 with an adaptec 2940UW controller in it. I am running a single 4 Gig SCSI ultra wide srive internally and an Exabyte 8700 8mm tape externaly. There are 2 main problems.. 1) The drive keeps ejecting the tape. You put it back in 4 - 5 times then it will stay down until you do something with the drive. If you rewind the tape, write a header, or do a dump to the drive, when it is done it will eject the tape and you have to fight to get it to close. We are using the 112m Exabyte tape that came with the drive. Any ideas? 2) When I tar files to the drive things work fine. When I try to do a dump of the filesystem using amanda it locks the system up solid. I can ping and telnet to it, but I never get a login prompt. Any ideas on this one? Thanks in advance for you help..

What are you talking about? > you need to have specific areas to work on here, badly Maybe you should state them, then. I'll state the areas that you should work on: 1. Description. 2. RTFM. 3. Backup before you install an operating system. 4. Spelling. 5. Punctuation. 6. Politeness. 7. Error recovery. I'll wager that the most stupid thing you did was to reformat your disk. FreeBSD installs very easily for just about everybody. Occasionally they run into hardware compatibility problems. Occasionally, like you, they screw up. Unlike you, they very seldom blame us for their own mistakes. If you approached the installation with the same care with which you prepared this message, I'm not surprised you screwed up.

I've tried both 0xd0000 and 0xd8000 for the maddr on the card, doesn't seem to affect the probe either way. Guess I just gotta get out the floppies to figure out which is right. The hardware is all in the same configuration as it was when running BSDI 3.0 until yesterday, so I'm pretty sure it's all OK.

I keep wondering why my .signature is constantly equated with Bill Gates? One of the reasons I selected it was that it says many things, different things to different people. I like it because it pokes fun at the serious eggheads who profess to measure things such as the amount of our brain that is actually used. Then there is the other slant which suggests our dreams and intuition originate from the part of our brain which the eggheads can't measure. Where dreams and intuition are key components of the Human Operating System. Another way to look at it is that humans rarely do things the most efficient way. Or do things for any good reason whatsoever. Must be due to that lousy Human Operating System. If nothing else, its a cute way of pointing out that humans are not computers. If anyone is curious where I stole my .signature from, it popped up in fortune(6) one day. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

But it looks like you'll need to log in then authenticate via chap. take a look at the ``chapsite'' profile to get you started. Just modify this to match your needs. Set authname and authkey to your username and password. If you have a script to log in now, you can just bring over your login script as needed.

If you're going to set up news, though, I'd suggest checking out the INN FAQ before getting too involved -- you'll want to make some changes to the way the filesystem is generated and how to organize your system for best efficiency.

It's informational only; fragmentation does not have the bad effects as it does in FAT filesystems. Frags will get bad if the disk gets near-full frequently and the FS code has to scramble to put files on the disk. If you *really* want to fix it, do a backup, newfs the filesystem, then restore.

There are really two questions here. One has been answered to death. The other one is "why do I sometimes get the grep process listed and sometimes not?". The answer is that it's a race condition in the process table. I still can't understand why it happens so often, though.

You have to use the command-line interface. This also assumes that your PCMCIA ethernet card supports this type of behavior. The way I usually try to deal with this is to use the card's setup program and fix the IRQ and port that way, then tell the card driver the settings you fed to the card. > I also tried to install by using a serial link (null modem cable) to my > linux box, which DOES have a cdrom.

Well considering that I ran into problems on both trys I guess maybe you can give me some help. First let me tell you the Error message when I tried installing from CDROM. It said: Error mounting /dev/wcd0c on /dist: Input/Output Error (5) I have a Hitatchi IDE Cdrom. The FreeBSD partition is the second partion on my hardrive (I only have one hardrive). The first partition is dedicated to Win95. I don't know what other information you might need. Okay, as for installing from a DOS partition. I tried copying everything from the CDROM to my DOS partition, but it stops and says: F86-CX.TGZ not found. I'm wondering the hell that is, and is it necessary? Maybe I can omit something from the menu's that will make the copying process not look for that and must move on. I do want a XFree86 system though. Although maybe Accelerated X would be better, I'm not sure. But I'll make do with what I have at the moment. Can anyone either help me fix the cdrom problem or the dos partion problem?

You can obtain it at: http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/ It compiled easuily for my using NetBSD on my Mac Centris 650 and I see no reason why it should not work under FreeBSD. Note that tyhis pacj\kage allows you to access the Mac HFS file sructure but you are not mounting it in the traditional sense. You use special commands like hmount -- to "mount" the disk hcopy -- to copy files back and forth hdir -- to list the files It is more like FTP than directly accessing the file system. There is also a Tk/Tcl-based X interface. Hope this helps.

So does the reverse zone file, modulo the comments above. As somebody else pointed out, the next thing we need to see is your named.boot and the flags with which you start it. Also the output of named when you start up.

Check netmask and default gateway in the other systems that you want to pinging. Try using 'traceroute' how far and which network path it takes to reach a particular node. Make sure that, if the system is on the same subnet and FreeBSD is going to route packets to other subnet, then for all the nodes make FreeBSD node as Gateway. Prashant.

The modem takes commands ok -- in ppp or minicom I can type "atdt" and I hear a dial tone, it dials and even hardware handshakes. But it won't talk to me! Not a peep, not one little "OK" or "CONNECT 21600". In ppp, a "show modem" is normal unless I have gone into terminal mode. Then I get this extra message: outq: ioctl probe failed: Interrupted system call I tried swapping out my modem for a known-working similar model (which I'm logged in on right now). I also tried putting it in a different ISA slot. No effect from either. I had a power loss the other day and I suspect my FS may've gotten corrupted. At first, when I thought this was a ppp problem, I tried to recompile it and couldn't. (Damn, I didn't write down the errors, and as I've only one monitor for the two machines at the moment, I'd rather not go duplicate the problem.) Minicom has the same behavior as ppp: I can talk to the modem fine but it won't talk to me. Any ideas? TIA. Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."

Assuming you're using sendmail 8.8.something, see the README file in the `cf' subdirectory of the sendmail source tree. You want the stuff on host masquerading.

If anyone feels like explaining what's going on I would be interested. I have three subnets. I have a FreeBSD machine routing between subnet a and subnet b and another FreeBSD machine routing between subnet b and subnet c. The is necessary because the physical setup prevents one machine from connecting to all three subnets. Let's call the machine that sits between a and b machine A and the machine that sits between b an c machine B. In order to get subnet a to talk with subnet c I needed to include a static route in A. The static route should say something like "route all traffic for subnet c through on subnet b" where physically resides in machine B. Let me put numbers to it. Subnet a is 192.1.1.0 Subnet b is 192.1.2.0 Subnet c is 192.1.3.0 I should have been able to accomplish the above with "route add -net 192.1.3.0 -interface 192.1.2.1" assuming 192.1.2.1 is the 192.1.2.0 interface in machine B. But this didn't work. What's wierd however is that it did work to enter each hostname in invididually! I litterally typed route add 192.1.3.1 192.1.2.1 route add 192.1.3.2 192.1.2.1 route add 192.1.3.3 192 1.2.1 etc....... for the entire subnet. Now it's working fine. Have I made a glaring error? Do I completely misunderstand subnets and routing? In real life these are 27 bit class c subnets but that shouldn't matter for the example. I did include a "-netmask" statement in real life but it wouldn't make sense for this example. I am anxiously awaiting a reasonable answer.

What I can't get to work is the NIS-client at the FreeBSD-boxes. This is what I've done: * Edited the passwordfile with vipw (I'm running shadow passwords), and inserted the line "+:::::::::" after the passwords I want to keep local. * Set NIS domain with "domainname". * Started the ypbind client. * Checked the connection with ypwich (I'm connected to the server). * Checked the password DB on the server with ypcat passwd. When I'm trying to log in to the FreeBSD-box it dosen't seem to search the NIS domain for passwords and users, instead I get a login failure.

I seem to be having problems with my 14400 internal modem under FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE. The modem is attached to sio1: (DOS COM2:) and my motherboard BIOS has it's onboard COM2: disabled. The modem also has a 16450 UART onboard. It will find the onboard COM1: properly, but reports: sio1: not found at 0x2f8 Is this a shortcoming in the kernal released with the new floppy set? Do I need to recompile the kernal for it to see it? My modem has been tried in various machines and OS's...it's visible under DOS, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Linux 2.0.27, Windows NT, OS/2....just not FreeBSD. (Maybe it's the price you pay for a superior UN*X...) :-) I would try moving the modem, but I do occasionally use COM1 for null modem, and I have no other IRQ's available. (Seriously!) Any help would ge greatly appreciated.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, I have attempted to install FreeBSD via FTP. I booted up the floopy, configured the kernel for my hardware, and then went through the Novice Installation. I chose to do a minimal installation and things went smoothly. After the download, I was presented with a message box saying that FreeBSD had been successfully installed and that my machine would now reboot and try to start up from the harddisk. I, of course, removed the floppy, and allowed my machine to boot. The hardware was probed, like you would expect but shortly after I saw these messages : /etc/rc: Can't open /etc/rc init: /etc/spwd.db: No such file or directory Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: I then performed a "df" to see what I had for a filesystem and all that appeared was : root_device "some stuff about usage" / When I did a "ls" it appeared that I had an /etc dir and a /usr dir and so on, but when I tried to cd to one of them I got a message saying that I could not. I have tried to allow Win95 and FreeBSD exist on the same drive with a boot manager and then I even tried allowing FreeBSD to use the entire disk, bith with the same results. My only guess is FreeBSD is getting fed the wrong info about the disk geometry. What do you think? :) Thank you for your throughts, - Richard From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 18 13:54:00 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id NAA05978 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 18 Sep 1997 13:54:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: from superior.mooseriver.com (dynamic29.pm05.sf1.best.com [206.184.197.157]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id NAA05965 for ; Thu, 18 Sep 1997 13:53:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from jgrosch@localhost) by superior.mooseriver.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id NAA18788; Thu, 18 Sep 1997 13:53:24 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <19970918135324.08215@mooseriver.com> Date: Thu, 18 Sep 1997 13:53:24 -0700 From: Josef Grosch To: John Lind Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: dtterm and other CDE desktop terminal capabilities to termcap?

No. Repeat after me: REINSTALLING IS THE LAST POSSIBLE RESORT, AND SELDOM SOLVES THE PROBLEM.

What do you think? I don't know what you've changed, so it's difficult to say, but there should be no problem in building a kernel.

You may be able to fix things as you suggest--it's certainly worth a try. Probably, though, you'll need to get a new copy of the file.

Ok..novice question here. I am familiar with unix from a dialup shell viewpoint only..I know the basics on how to get around, edit files, compile, etc. But I do not know how to work on it from an admin/install viewpoint. With that in mind, Since I *was* installing from the cd which created the boot floppy from the image on the cd, will I need a new floppy image that will recognize the controller before I can complete my install from the cd? Also, which files will I need from -current, and where is -current for that matter. On a different but similar topic, I am planning to buy a tape backup before I go through with this. I was looking at the Iomega Ditto Easy 1.6/3.2 that uses the TR3 cartidges. It interfaces via the floppy drive controller. Yes it's slow, however it has the size i need and the price (a scsi based tape drive is out of my range, and most are really larger than I need anyway). Will that type of tape drive work in freeBSD? or should I go with the colorado 3200 (same thing, same media, but IDE interface instead)? BTW, thanx everyone for the help, I got more replies on what I should do here than anywhere else I've tried looking before I subscribed to the list. :) Steve ---------- > From: John S.

I went into that file and tried to replace the deletes using vi g/^?/s//_/g (I got the ctrl-delete combination to produce this) Immediately after, just because I'm paranoid, I searched for the pattern and got "Pattern not Found". A few seconds later, I would hear some disk activity, search for the pattern again and have 5 or six "^?"s in the file. I don't know if I'm having hardware problems or what. I'm trying with different memory now and still posting my problems for you helpful people to see. Thanks.

You might be interested in the bit patterns for _ and DEL: they're 01011111 and 01111111 respectively. Looks like a single bit error. Was it always happening where a _ should be? Or was it always the third bit from the left? I've seen a similar double-bit problem: the sequence 01000111 01110010 01100101 01100111 got corrupted to 01000111 01110010 01101111 01100111 :-) > I'm trying with different memory now and still posting my problems > for you helpful people to see.

I don't know if things have improved, since I don't use Microsoft, but there were times when anomalies in the file system structure could cause msdosfs to overwrite not only its own partition, but also neighbouring ones.

I have such an adapter, and have been disappointed in the 16-port limit per card. I understand that the new driver remedies this as well as adding support for the Cyclades PCI Cyclom-Y cards. I have gone to the Cyclades FTP site, and have found the driver, but here is my problem: We are running 2.1.7-Release, and there is an updated driver for 2.1.5, and 2.1.6. Is there such a driver for 2.1.7, or do we need to go to a 2.2.x version of FreeBSD to enable the 32-port capability? Prior to finding this ray of hope, we were considering going to Linux to overcome this problem (we already have the 32-port cards). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The refresh time should reflect the frequency of your configuration changes. Most systems don't change their DNS configuration significantly more than once a month, and usually it's planned. Of course, the *correct* way to do it would be to find a way to inform systems which have queried the zone in the previous seconds.

I have partition my drives. I want to install from the CD. I made a bootdisk. My problem is it doesn't recognize my CD-ROM. It does support my drive - matcd0 - Matsushita/Panasonic CD-ROM (proprietary interface) CR-562. The instructions of how to fix this from book and web are: DOS thinks the address for the CD is 220. DOS is 0x10 lower than it really is. So if you can't figure the setting enter an -1 for the port setting. The -1 will make it look at several number of I/O port settings for the manufacturer. So at the beginning of installation where you pick what drivers you want active. I pick matcd0. The default port is 0x230. I tried that and 220. How do you enter a -1? Typing an -1 into 0x--- field doesn't work (no neg signs allowed). Should it be FFF? Do you have any suggestions Dave?

Well, maybe some things simpler than that, but it's not difficult. The way to do it rotates around the number of Internet addresses you get. If your ISP gives you a static IP address for each system, it's child's play. You do sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 and the FreeBSD box will forward anything from the other machines which has the appropriate address to the Net. Things are slightly more complicated when you have to fake addresses. I'm currently working on a book which will include this topic; would you like to try out the instructions and help me debug them?

This is exactly the situation I was referring to. If I were you, I'd worry. FIPS doesn't do a perfect job, and it leaves pointers outside the slice. If you're unlucky, msdosfs will use one of these pointers and place random garbage in other slices.

I've watched this thread occur twice before, and used the web site to search the archives, hoping to find answers. There's always some who say don't worry, some who say expect doom and destruction. Is the real situation that it doesn't hurt at all if you mount read-only but might crash everything otherwise? Or what? I partitioned my first SCSI, a 2 gig disk, with Partition Magic. small primary DOS extended partition with two small logical drives two teensy empty NTFS to assist drive letter assignment One large NTFS with yucky stuff on it a little over 1 gig FreeBSD I get this error when attempting to mount any of the dos partitions. So, if I simply use Partition Magic again and have it resize the partitions to kosher sizes, and/or change the cluster size, will that stop FreeBSD from complaining or not? If so, what figures are appropriate for drives about 125mb and 250mb?

Or what? Recall my disclaimer at the beginning of the thread. I don't use msdosfs, and I haven't looked at the code. But my recollection of the last discussion is that: 1. msdosfs is so buggy that it needs a complete rewrite. The possibility exists that it has happened and passed me by. 2. FIPS is buggy and doesn't resize everything in the file system. In particular, some block pointers can point outside the resultant file system. 3. This combination can cause msdosfs to write outside its partition. 4. If you don't allow msdosfs to write, it probably won't write outside its partition. > I partitioned my first SCSI, a 2 gig disk, with Partition Magic. > small primary DOS > extended partition with two small logical drives > two teensy empty NTFS to assist drive letter assignment > One large NTFS with yucky stuff on it > a little over 1 gig FreeBSD > > I get this error when attempting to mount any of the dos partitions. > > So, if I simply use Partition Magic again and have it resize the partitions > to kosher sizes, and/or change the cluster size, will that stop FreeBSD from > complaining or not?

It comes on a pre-installed box and the code shouldn't be accessible to anyone but us. Some of the code is written in C, and there's no source code kept on the computer, so that is safe. Some of it is written in perl, so if they get in then they can have that and any of the private information stored on the computer. If we sell these boxes to someone with secure consoles and no login accounts then it's pretty unlikely they are going to do much to get at private information. However if someone takes the hard disc out and decides to try and read it what precautions can be taken to stop them getting at the data. (I guess this is something someone has covered before?) So far all I've got is.. - encrypt all the data stored on the computer. - put "warranty void if removed" stickers on the back of the box. - put the box together with the weird three headed screws. { these are probably bad ideas.. =) } - store all the data in my own weird encrypted filesystem (yeah sure). - store all the data cunningly in a second "swap" partition. { this is terrible idea, but has been suggested.. } - give up and sell and NT solution Well, any advice dearly appreciated.

Would you mind helping me ? My system is Intel pentium 120, 32 Mb Ram, 1.1 Gb IDE ( 450Mb Dos partition & rest for bsd) Mitsumi CD, 1.44M Floppy, Display IRQ 9, 03C0 - 03DF Mouse on Com1, Modem on Com2 Lpt0 & Lpt1 (bsd speak!)

I want this machine to be a gateway (router) for a 20 machine LAN I want it to dial in to my ISP at 33.6 k I want it a web server on it (Apache will do) I want it to route through to my ISP for the LAN so I can use Win e-mail & web clients. At the moment I have the bootmanager working ok (neat trick that) I was able to install with conflicts removed...some netcards or something cause the CD and mouse to have conflicts. I went through all processes involved in install with the NOVICE install option. BUT I encountered things I didn't understand.... a) Do I want to be an NFS server or client? What is it ? Do I need it? b) Setting up Apache, must I type in the hostname, or will it fetch it from the conf somewhere and return the FQDN. i.e. is this option only to define something other than the default? What do I put in for the Default user & Group? At the moment it has "BIN" in these fields by default (what does that mean?) c) I chose network interface option. I wished to set up PPP on com2 (the modem) I put in my relevant ISP info. It then told me to use the PPP utility to connect. I don't understand why I am asked to do this. The help seems to read as though it is so I can install bsd through PPP! I am doing a CD install. Do I ignore this section and follow userPPPinstall in the docs later? If not, I don't understand how to use the cli ppp I am confronted with. quit = lock up I found!...Is that an undocumented feature ; ^) d) After reboot I was unable to login in as the user I created. I told it I wanted to be in group wheel ...is that right? I did (or thought I did) everything correctly (as best I could understand help) I don't really understand the group thing (NT4.0 let's talk groups...bsd..groups = ???). In fact I stumbled across the user id "root" which let me in without password!! (oops) I had set the system root password in install. But it didn't understand (I tried my user login i'd created & would have su - to root but I couldn't get in. e) I chose to install Squid 1.1 but when I first booted (encountering the above hassles) It kept interrupting the screen in a loop of 3 or 4 lines...complaing that squid shouldn't be started as root etc etc. Whoa...what does that mean & how can I avoid it? It did this even befor login was allowed to be attempted Hope this makes any sense at all.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I have a very big problem which has made me download FreeBSD 2.2.2 over 4 times this week :-( The joke is that when i put the boot floppie and start the novice installation i set up ppp0 on com 2 and it get to ftp.freebsd.org with NO problem. When i finish the install, and connect with ppp, there is no connecting problem. But I am unable to get out on the net. Today i tried something a little different. When the ppp came back to PPP ON THT> I did add 209.47.145.10 255.255.255.0 209.47.145.1 and now i can (and am currently) go on the net. The problem is that the first IP can be 209.47.145.10 or 209.47.145.11 depending on which portmaster picks me up. Can someone please tell me what to put in the ppp.conf so that i can avoid bugging everyone in the world to help me. This has been so frustrating. I went on irc to #freebsd and many there tried to help, but no one did successfully. At least I found something that has given me the ability to get on the net. But this does not seem the right way to connect. Thank you in advance for any help which you may be able to provide.

Maybe. Firstly, the odd messages are: writing to routing socket: File exists add net default: gateway 155.198.8.0: File exists These appear just after ppp -auto is started up - I have the default router set in sysconfig to the above IP address. What file is this? I can't seem to find anything that could be the cause, nor any reference. I've been running ppp -auto successfully for a while, but it's recently started playing up. The problem is that the process that causes the ppp link to be brought up doesn't seem to recognise that it's up and eventually times out. The link itself comes up OK, as I can use it fine with other processes. I've recently been fiddling with filters and the problem surfaced at about the same time as this, but I've removed my filter references from ppp.conf. The ppp show ifilter, dfilter etc. commmands tell me there are no filters. I've also rebuilt my kernel since the ppp problem started, but before I noticed the boot messages, if this is relevant. As an aside, last Saturday I ordered Greg Lehey's FreeBSD book from Walnut Creek and it arrived here in the UK yesterday. Needless to say I was impressed by the turnaround time. Shame it doesn't have anything on networking though :-( Another aside - I got the FreeBSD News newsletter with the book - a good bit of PR, I thought. It doesn't say anywhere on it what was used to produce it - was it done with FreeBSD or did they resort to a Mac or something? :-) (not very relevant to questions@ though I guess...) Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give.

The Perl Compiler, (yes, Virginia, you can compile to C) by Malcolm Beattie is available in alpha-3 release. This is still considered experimental, but is definitely firming up. See also his first announcement about it for details. Please read the relevant FAQs about what it is and what it is not. http://language.perl.com/info/software.html The compiler works, but since is in alpha, you must be very careful. Avoid large number ( >0x80000000 ) calculation. I tried it with 5.003 and it worked for me. With 5.004, for some reason a subroutine ( function) doesn't handle the flow back to the main program. -- Jason > > > So far all I've got is.. > > - encrypt all the data stored on the computer. > - put "warranty void if removed" stickers on the back of > the box. > - put the box together with the weird three headed screws. > > { these are probably bad ideas.. =) } > - store all the data in my own weird encrypted filesystem > (yeah sure). > - store all the data cunningly in a second "swap" > partition. > > { this is terrible idea, but has been suggested.. > } > - give up and sell and NT solution > > Well, any advice dearly appreciated. > > Thanks in advance, > Steve Roome. > > -- > Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd. > Tel:+44(0)117 9730597 Home:+44(0)976 241342 > WWW: http://dylan.visint.co.uk/ From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 19 10:31:43 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id KAA26074 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 19 Sep 1997 10:31:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from hometeam.techpower.net (hometeam@techpower.net [206.244.73.241]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA26068 for ; Fri, 19 Sep 1997 10:31:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (hometeam@localhost) by hometeam.techpower.net (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id BAA00968; Fri, 19 Sep 1997 01:28:39 -0400 (EDT) Date: Fri, 19 Sep 1997 01:28:39 -0400 (EDT) From: Dr Freebsd To: David Goddard cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ppp -auto problems and boot-time error messages In-Reply-To: <3.0.1.16.19970919172152.2eb72cb6@sg1.cc.ic.ac.uk> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Firstly, the odd messages are: writing to routing socket: File exists add net default: gateway 155.198.8.0: File exists This is just telling you the default route is set is all.

Okay. First, the Adaptec isn't supported under the core system. Second, the 3c589D has spotty results using the zp driver.

This is probably what you want to do: ftp ftp.cdrom.com cd /pub/FreeBSD binary get 2.2.2-RELEASE.tar No, there isn't a 2.2.2-RELEASE.tar but wcarchive will make one for you on the fly. Might also have to do the same for XF8633 and one or two other things as they are symlinks and you will only get the link in your tar file. Once you get that monster on a local filesystem its up to you to figure out how to put the right parts on floppy for a floppy inst. Think the instructions are in the handbook or in a README or similar. Personally, I either copy to tape, or a 386sx16 4.5MB luggable not-really-small-enough-to-be-a-laptop. Its not battery powered but has an ISA slot with an 8-bit 3Com card and 850MB IDE HD. So I install via NFS on friend's machines with that monster. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ====================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

I'm using a Quantum Empire 2100S hard drive with a Adaptec 1542CF host adapter. Problem is: The HD have a lot of bad sectors (phisical accident). I try to remap these, but it was done sucessfull for the firsts sectors only. After remap some sectors (using the AHA1542's firmware: The Scsi Select utilitie), the utilitie returns me a 04 error code (hardware error). Formatting the whole disk under DOS and using the Norton Calibrate, I get 4Mb of bad DOS' CLUSTERS. Actually, I can't get another HD. Questions is: - Is the G-List Full? - I Uses FreeBSD with this machine, and the bad144 (FreeBSD's module to mark badsectors) is a big trash. How can I list the badsectors to mark them (generate a list to use with Unix's FSCK utilitie, for example)? It's possible to do that under DOS (or OS/2). Note: Actualy, I uses the disks with DOS, OS/2 and FreeBSD. Under DOS and OS/2, I mark the badblock with no problems, but under Unix-like systems (Slakware/RedHat Linux, SCO Unix and FreeBSD), I can't do that (the support of badblocks is realy BAD on these systems) Partition Map: Boot Disk (IDE - It's OK): Sec.

This means you tried to add a default route (probably via /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup), but one was already set.

I used Motorola BitSurfer before. It's a nice product. There were two steps: 1. Connected the modem to ISDN line and Window computer. Configured all the ISDN parameters through the configuration software came with the modem. Tested the Internet connection using Windows Dial-up Networking 2. Moved the modem to the FreeBSD computer, treated it as a standard modem. Followed the handbook and Tutorials to setup user ppp (iijppp). It worked! You may need to pay attention to the modem initializing string. I used "&F1&C1&D2" for 56K connection and "&F1&C1&D2%A4=0" for 64K connection in US. I don't know what to use in Europe.

I now have a barebones 2.2.1-RELEASE system up and running; I dug up my old floppies, but I'd like to get PPP up. Also, I ppp'd in from my 2.2.1 system, and the link dies out after a couple minutes; I think that's what was happening before; why it dies at about the same place every time; after a few minutes, poof! and it goes down.

Actually, I used the handbook to help set up ppp. I followed the instructions. I edited the ppp.conf file as it said I should (I think). I edited the hosts file as I should (I think). I edited other files as I should (I think). Mind you I followed the instructions in the handbook for dynamic ip. Now it seems as thought it dials, starts communicating and then in a short time it hangs up. Only once had I had connection long enough to telnet successfully into ea.uci.edu then it closed. Once I had 9% of Lynx downloaded untill the connection was closed. Now all I get is HOST NOT FOUND or UKNOWN HOST or some sort of message like that. I just want to simply dial in a ppp connection to Inreach and run sum internet software. Maybe I screwed up by naming my computer mustang.ford.com (I love Mustangs ). I wish I could show you exactly what I have in the files but I can't even mount my dos partition /dev/wd0s1 (I think). I tells me something about Super Block (?). Anyways, can someone give me a clue to how to do the ppp stuff? Maybe some example of how to connect to an isp or something. Please. Thanks.

Yes. Check your .bashrc file. If you find a line like: PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin add to it the string ':/usr/X11R6/bin' For example, PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin If you don't have a .bashrc, make one, and put this in it: PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin You should also check your .bash_profile and ensure that it contains the line if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.bashrc; fi Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 19 19:00:11 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA25138 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 19 Sep 1997 19:00:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (gregl1.lnk.telstra.net [139.130.136.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA25131 for ; Fri, 19 Sep 1997 19:00:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id LAA19616; Sat, 20 Sep 1997 11:29:41 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <19970920112940.62670@lemis.com> Date: Sat, 20 Sep 1997 11:29:40 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: sof@velocity.net Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: freeBsd References: <34234C2D.593208BD@velocity.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.81e In-Reply-To: <34234C2D.593208BD@velocity.net>; from Bill on Fri, Sep 19, 1997 at 09:08:13PM -0700 Organisation: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8250 Fax: +61-8-8388-8250 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Fight-Spam-Now: http://www.cauce.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, Sep 19, 1997 at 09:08:13PM -0700, Bill wrote: > I just purchased your FreeBSD ver 2.2.2 and cant get it to install > > Every time I launch the install.bat and then fix the conflicts in the > Kernl Configuration Screen > then I press quit and save.

This isn't enough to install FreeBSD, though it *is* enough to run it (the install kernel includes all sorts of extras that you only need during installation). Are you sure all your memory is functional? If your BIOS reserves some of it as extended memory or such, you need to turn that off.

I tried to install from the CD-ROM using a boot floppy disk created from the FreeBSD.org Web site with the command fdimage boot.flp Everything seemed normal until I said install everything for an X-user. The next thing I saw was a message to the effect "installation completed with some errors". I checked the other virtual screen and scrolled through the output. I saw a bunch of hardware probing until something like reading from CD-ROM but nothing after that. What I suspect is that the kernel could not read the CD-ROM drive to complete the installation. My machine has an IDE controller. The hard drive is the master on number one (primary interface) and the CD-ROM is a slave on the second (secondary interface). It might also be ATAPI. As you can tell, I am a novice when it comes to describing PC hardware. I have attached the boot sequence from Linux in case that helps. I vaguely remember that when I installed Linux, I had to specifically configure the CD-ROM as hdd (slave on secondary) rather than hdc (master on secondary), which is what the boot first tried. Can you tell me if I must do a similar thing trying to install FreeBSD using a boot floppy and your CD-ROM: tell the kernel how to access the CD-ROM as a slave on the secondary interface? Thank you for your help.

For periodic backups like this, rdump works pretty well. It's *very* picky about output from login scripts, so pick an account on the 3.0 box and strip out any terminal-based information (or keep to minumum) and make sure the user has access to the tape device and rdump on the destination box. > I've done a backup of the local system to the drive using dump but had > to add some options > to wait until the drive returned eot, otherwise it didn't know the tape > length and kept telling > me I was out of tape after a mere 400MB was written. You'll need to do the same thing here or else you'll end up with the same problem. Use the -B and -b options to specify a tape size way to big for the tape; it'll prompt when it hits end-of-tape. We use this script to dump from our primary web server to a machine with a QIC3020 SCSI tape. We got hung up on rsh and permissions issues tho, and the errors from rdump are quite cryptic. This is set for a 2GB drive, so adjust accordingly. # backup rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 / rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /var rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /usr rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/rst0 /usr1 Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 19 20:10:16 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA28683 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 19 Sep 1997 20:10:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smmcroute.smmc.qld.edu.au (smmcdialin.ultra.net.au [203.56.101.65]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA28677 for ; Fri, 19 Sep 1997 20:10:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from station1.ultra.net.au (silver.colour.ultra.net.au [203.20.237.170]) by smmcroute.smmc.qld.edu.au (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA17763 for ; Sat, 20 Sep 1997 11:54:42 +1000 (EST) Message-Id: <199709200154.LAA17763@smmcroute.smmc.qld.edu.au> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Keith Spencer" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Fri, 2 May 1997 13:09:29 +0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: PPP doc ambiguity..help!

I am a very experienced user of FreeBSD. I am having a strange problem I hope you can shed some light on. A particular server I am working on has an AT/Lantic network card. It is ISA and when probed the system finds it to be ed1, irq 5, 0x300, and also prints the hardware address of the card to the console. When going through the install, when I initiate the install after the ip addressing screen the install stalls. I have checked the debugger screen and see a ed1 device timeout. This machine is intended to be a dual boot server, and has NT already installed. According to NT the card is IRQ 2, address 0x300. I have tried using these parameters but still no go. Is this a memory address thing?(it is set to 0xd800). Any suggestions you may have would be appreciated. Unfortunately I have no pci slots left in the machine, so I must use the at card. I have used many ne2000 variants in the past with no problems. The only other thing is its a 10baseT/coax combo card. Is there a parameter I can add at install to force the card into 10baseT mode? In the past dual mode cards have given some sort of interface parameter message on boot, but not this time. Help me...

I was the individual who couldn't get FBSD 2.2.2 installed after a month and a half. :-( I was finally able to get it installed and was even able ( after a couple minor setbacks) get XFree86 configured. I had to use /stand/sysinstall. For a newbie like myself, it seemed the easiest way. I did, however, determine that, contrary to all the advice I was given, Booteasy _did not_ give a full options menu at reboot. What I mean is that, I was told that when I reboot after the installation, that I would see a menu similar to what is below... F1...DOS F2...BSD F3... I think that maybe I had been unclear in expressing what it was I was doing. I have 3 hd's. Win95 is on the first, FreeBSD is on the second, and currently the third is a second DOS partition (although I will shortly be installing WinNT on it). Every time that I would complete the installation, all I would see is F1...Win95. I was stumped. I tried other keys and nothing seemed to work. After much frustration and yet another installation, I just finally started going through all the function keys. Low and behold when I reached F5, I received a new option... F1...BSD When I hit F1 this time I was greeted with my system being probed and all sorts of gobble-de-goop showing up on the screen!! I was and am ecstatic!! 8^D (Now I get to learn how to move around). I tried to confirm my discovery with all the various sources of information and could not. Is this how it is supposed to work or is it just a fluke?? I have since purposely killed FBSD numerous times and reinstalled trying different options and receive the same boot selection process. Also, one more question. I feel silly about having to ask it, however, I have not been able to find clear instructions on how to install programs(e.g. Netscape 3 in the ports collection). During the installation process, I selected the 'Full Install' option. As far as I know I have all that I need to get started. I just don't know how to load any of the ports or distributions or packages. Could someone point me in the right direction?? I am sorry to bother y'all with this newbie question.

Well, I would think that they have network equipment that depends on a static IP (like a router interface) and left some extra space for expansion. The DHCP server doesn't have to know about these statics. You just pick one and get a nameserver entry added that points to that IP. Saves a lot of headaches. :) If they don't want to budge that way, and based on what you say I assume you're on DHCP, then look into the wide-dhcp port (in ports/net).

You're running into a couple of wrinkles about IRQs here. 1. The probes lie about the IRQ. It's what they want to have, not what they find the board is set to. So probably the board really is set to IRQ2. 2. IRQ 2 ceased to exist as an IRQ line when the PC/AT was introduced back in 1984. Instead, IRQ 9 was used to handle the interrupt. Sometimes it's still called IRQ 2, unfortunately, but our kernel doesn't understand that. Try setting the IRQ to 9 with the visual config. > The only other thing is its a 10baseT/coax combo card. Is there a > parameter I can add at install to force the card into 10baseT mode? Yes, look at the link0, link1 and link2 parameters. Unfortunately, the man page doesn't specify which one to use for UTP, and I can't see anything obvious in the source code. link2 is supposed to select AUI. Try selecting various combinations. > In the past dual mode cards have given some sort of interface > parameter message on boot, but not this time. Help me... It might mean that the driver doesn't understand the selection mechanism. Which version are you using?

You're probably falling into the DOS/windows habit of expecting the OS to do everything for you :-) Under FreeBSD you must unmount the floppy before ejecting it. Otherwise you stand a pretty good risk of causing a panic when you try to access a new floppy. So the chain of events goes: [insert floppy] mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt [do stuff] umount /mnt [eject disk, insert new one] mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt [do more stuff] I made a script that basically aliases the mount command so I don't have to retype the whole thing all the time. > 2) I only installed the "/bin" files during the initial install, how do I > install the /info or /manpages stuff? I will be using the floppy for the > install. Yuck. Floppies. :-( The easiest way is to copy all of the info.* or manpages.* files into a directory, then run `cd /' then `cat /path/to/manpages.* | tar xzf -' to extract them. Make sure you have the proper privileges, so do this as root.

What software do you recommend > and can I perform a backup to floppies, or should I have a tape drive > installed? The usual way to make backups is using the `tar' or `dump' programs. Most modern systems are too big to make floppy backups manageable. Tapes are the way to go, as long as they are run on a SCSI bus. The floppy tapes just don't work. We have a Connor tape that works great. The Travan stuff looks really good and as long as it's SCSI it should be supported with little problem. For tapes, dump works best; check out the man pages and make use of the -a option if it's available in your version. Otherwise use the -b and -B options to specify the tape size.

For most workstations it should be removed, it will enhance performance. options USERCONFIG and options VISUAL_USERCONFIG define the boot-time device editor accessible by typing ``-c'' at the Boot: prompt. I suggest leaving USERCONFIG in there at minumum; VISUAL_USERCONFIG is the full editor and I recommend it.

If so, you'll need to fetch the libraries (or fetch the linux_lib port) and install it. Otherwise, see ldconfig manpage and do ``ldconfig -r''. The first line(s) of output should be: /var/run/ld.so.hints: search directories:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/compat:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/l ib There can be extra directories depending on what you've loaded.

There's a guide for newusers that covers this (and addresses Netscape specifically) at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/newuser/newuser.html. Meanwhile, have you got a /usr/ports directory (with all sorts of stuff in it?) as a result of the install, and do you have a connection to the Internet? So ftp is possible? If so, just go to the category of ports you want (www in the case of Netscape), pick the version of Netscape you want, cd to netscape4 or whatever. In this directory you will find a file called Makefile. In that directory, type "make install" (without the quotes). Then FreeBSD will take over, getting the basic file (called the distfile) from the proper place (in this case ftp.netscape.com or similar), putting it in /usr/ports/distfiles, and installing it properly. (Usually what the port gets will be a tarball with source code, and the program, the binary that is, will get built from the source code.) If you don't have a network connection but do have the cd, put the cd with the ports collection in the drive when you boot up and mount the cd (as root) with /sbin/mount /cdrom. Then when you type "make install" in the proper directory, it will get the distfile from the cdrom. And proceed from there. Do all this as root. Packages are different--they're precompiled binaries. They're on the cd in /cdrom/packages/All. With that cd mounted, cd to /cdrom/packages/All and pick the package you want. As root type pkg_add packagename where packagename is the name of the package you want to install. It will then get instaled for you. You can also get the package tarballs from ftp.cdrom.com, as well as ports. Be sure you get the ones for the version of FreeBSD you're running.

Something is messed up with your disk 3. FreeBSD doesn't like your disk You might try with #1, going into DOS fdisk and deleting everything you see. It sounds like the stuff on the disk is relatively expendable. Also try putting a small DOS primary partition on there, then delete it when you get to the FDISK editor in install and make the whole disk FreeBSD.

Use dump. 2. If dump will accept the -a option, use it; otherwise use the -B and -b options to specify the tape size. Do _not_ use the -d and -s options. FYI, the -a option tells dump to use the whole tape until it hits EOT. The -B and b options specify # of records and the record size. A sample script follows. It actually dumps to a remote host, but remove the `r' and the hostname and you get the idea. rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 / rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /var rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /usr rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/rst0 /usr1 In all cases, see the dump(8) man page before beginning!

Big brother was mentioned. our network services dept. has something which does precicely what you say -- it pings everything all the time, and if something doesn't respond in a while, beeps go off.

So you want to keep people from telnetting to ports other than the standard telnet port, 23? You might be able to do it with tcp_wrappers, write a script that strips off the final argument, or modify the telnet source to hardware the destination port.

The "message about a page fault" said "Panic:". That's not OK, of course, but the "Page fault" there is just *slightly* out of its normal context. > a bunch of addresses, something > about supervicor read failed...? > Then it says system will reboot in 15 secs. > I tried taking out everything I don't have, leaving everything in, and a > couple random configs. Same result.. This looks like a bug to me. In fact, there's no question: anything that causes the kernel to panic is a bug. Are you saying that the system panics during boot? Can you say exactly where? How much memory does your machine have?

I have 24 megs of RAM installed, put there's a aparently a hangup in the Compaq architecture, or the FreeBSD interface to it, which means that only 16 megs is detected with the GENERIC kernel; this was true in 2.1.6, and in 2.2.1; I always have to compile a custom kernel to use more than 16. It panics right after I quit the kernel config and save; I don't get any messages about probes after that; it clears the screen and goes right to the panic. I could see if I can get a screen shot of it; I stil have the SNAP boot.flp here somewhere... :-} MAtt (.sig sym-linked to /dev/null) From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 20 01:05:04 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id BAA29524 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 20 Sep 1997 01:05:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smmcroute.smmc.qld.edu.au (smmcdialin.ultra.net.au [203.56.101.65]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id BAA29484 for ; Sat, 20 Sep 1997 01:04:58 -0700 (PDT) Received: from station1.ultra.net.au (purple.colour.ultra.net.au [203.20.237.155]) by smmcroute.smmc.qld.edu.au (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA18296 for ; Sat, 20 Sep 1997 16:49:28 +1000 (EST) Message-Id: <199709200649.QAA18296@smmcroute.smmc.qld.edu.au> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Keith Spencer" Organization: St Margaret Marys College To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Sat, 20 Sep 1997 18:04:09 +1000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: PPP...won't dial out!

Sorry to hear you're having this trouble. I'd hazard a guess that it's a Compaq incompatibility, but I don't have time to follow up on it. In an earlier message, you told me which version of FreeBSD you're running. If it's -current, you should inform the -current people (FreeBSD-current@FreeBSD.org); otherwise you could try the -hackers (FreeBSD-hackers@FreeBSD.org).

Nope - my ppp.linkup was fine, but I've now removed an extra line in ppp.conf: add 0 0 155.198.8.0 This has cleared up the messages, but I'm still having the other problem... [...] >If this is still a problem, I'd need to know more details. Hmmm.. not sure what I can add really. I first noticed it when overnight cron jobs failed. The logs showed the link coming up when the job called it and then timing out after the set inactivity time, while the jobs timed out. Interactive processes also fail. For example, telnet just hangs until I kill it and then when I immediately retype the command, it connects immediately. If I leave it, it times out. This also happens with slrnpull, ftp, ping and anything else I've tried. If it helps, below is a tcpdump record from when I tried to telnet to the host sg1 (which is in my hosts file), with the PPP link originally closed. 155.198.8.0 is the IP address that I arbitarily assigned in ppp.conf and sysconfig - I am assigned a dynamic IP.

Try getting the latest version of ppp (you didn't say what version of FreeBSD you're running) from http://www.freebsd.org/~brian and following the instructions in the current handbook *exactly*. If this doesn't work, you'll need to post your config and your log file with "set log phase chat connect lcp ipcp ccp". If you can't mount your DOS harddisk (mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos), then use a floppy (mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /mnt) to record the info. > Bear -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

Yes.... and what's that got to do with boot up messages ? The above message is when the "route add default" fails. This fails because, I would think /etc/start_if.tun0 is already there and has already added a default route.

The above message is from the "route add default" done as a result of the default router setup. If the default route already exists, it must be because ppp has already been started via start_if.tun0.

I have also installed the 'os-bs' boot manager to the system. My problem is this-- I have 2 IDE connections, a primary and a secondary. On my primary I have a new 4G Western Digital drive with 2 primary DOS partitions running in Master mode, and I have an EIDE CD-Rom as the slave on that cabel. On the Secondary connector I have my old 1.6G drive split in the middle with the the front 1/2 as my BSD partition, and the second 1/2 as DOS. Here is my problem.. I have successfully installed my components (BSD) to the wd2 disk (secondary connection), on s1 (wd2s1) and the boot manager can get me to the kernel on that partition (I get a boot prompt, and probe all the selected devices) but at the end the system tries to change root device to wd1a (slave cd) and gives a panic: cannot mount root error. From the install floppy I can't seem to get to the /etc/fstabs file, and the install utility seemingly didn't record the root directory properly (but as it was installed, it knows it's there). Short of putting the 1.6 as a slave on the primary (so it becomes wd1a) and the CD-Rom as master on it's own cable, how can I get the system to mount the root on wd2s1?

I don't suppose it's a FreeBSD *before* 2.0.5.... 'cos that's when the !prog functionality was added. If this is the case, you're sunk and will need to upgrade to a newer version of FreeBSD. If this isn't the case, post your syslog.conf file (from /etc).

I'd guess that at least half the people who read it would miss some of it. Until just a few days ago, I thought it was impossible to set up automatic dialling with dynamic IP addresses. Also, the importance of the ' delete ALL' entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup is not made clear. /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.sample contains the following: # Otherwide, simply add peer as default gateway. # MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR Wouldn't it be a good idea to add the ' delete ALL' to this file?

NetBSD has been ported to the Mac 68k and Amiga 68k platforms. I do not know if NeXT hardware is similar enough to one of those two to run NetBSD or not. You might wnat to sniff around http://www.netbsd.org/ anyways. Shouldn't the hardware come with NeXTStep already installed?
