After your cvs update, you can do a # make all install This is what I do. It works most of the time. I've found that if things fail, it's easier to go back and do a 'make world' rather than try to figure out what's gone wrong. This question is probably more appropriate for the -current mailing list. If you're not on that list, you should be.

And, where could I get some docs on setting up NAT (IP aliasing)? I had it set up under OpenBSD, but what facilities are availible under FreeBSD?

It's a really old caddy-type cdrom (1991). The cdu535 I think is similar, but external. It has it's own interface card (not ide or scsi). Actually, the cdu31A is similar but is different enough that the drivers don't work. I think it's a 1x or 2x (maybe 1x) and pretty slow. It's probably not worth even supporting. The data transfer rate is only a little faster than a floppy. Just checking to see if anyone has a driver, or has ported one from Linux. My guess is no, there isn't any.

Having finally got a full FreeBSD installation installed, running Afterstep / Enlightenment, installed everything going, made a custom kernel and all the other lovely stuff that comes with 2.2.2 CD-ROM version, I got round to configuring ppp. Now, I successfully managed this, and indeed it dials up, connects and starts happily transmitting etc, but after about 3 minutes it drops the line. I have scoured the FAQ and the Dox to no avail. Looking at the ligs reveals that the old 'Too many echo packets lost' has reared it's ugly head again. I did a search of the mailing list archives and was surprised to see that loads of you seem to have had this problem. However, the latest reference I can find on the subject is several months back, but I have not found the answer. I gather that sticking 'disable' and 'deny' lines for lqr and (maybe) lcp is supposed to fix this, and I'll do that (I thought I'd already disabled lqr) but was a proper solution ever reached?

After the system has been up and in use for a lengthy period of time (from several hours to a whole day or more), programs start dying with signal 10's (SIBGUS). I have seen this happen with Linux binaries only, and large ones at that - -- Executor and any of the StarOffice programs almost certainly crash after the system has been up and in use for several hours to a day. But this happened ONCE on a FreeBSD binary -- "more", believe it or not! Many programs, however, still work fine. For example, right now, I CANNOT start StarOffice or Executor (SIGBUS), but I CAN compile WINE (a rather large package, IMHO), use Netscape (the 3.04Gold BSDi version), and read and compose mail using XFMail. What could be going on here? I doubt it's the program or libraries, as I've tried reloading them from scratch, with similar results. Could my memory or CPU be going bad, or possibly overheating? (it has been very hot around here the past few days) Something similar (programs, mainly gcc, dying with random signals or other errors) happened once, when I tried overclocking a CPU beyond what it could tolerate. But I'm NOT overclocking my machine or bus right now. I don't think. (hard to tell, my motherboard came with scanty documentation) Could this be due to some BIOS configurations that aren't set right (memory timings, cache timings, PCI bus stuff, ...?) The machine is an AMD 486dx4/133 on a Jet 486 PCI mainboard (Award BIOS from Dec 1996, I believe). Please respond via email. Thanks!! ies, as I've tried reloading them from scratch, with similar results. Could my memory or CPU be going bad, or possibly overheating?

I did a search of the mailing list archives and was surprised to see that loads of you seem to have had this problem. However, the latest reference I can find on the subject is several months back, but I have not found the answer. I gather that sticking 'disable' and 'deny' lines for lqr and (maybe) lcp is supposed to fix this, and I'll do that (I thought I'd already disabled lqr) but was a proper solution ever reached? It's very very frustrating!!!! The proper solution is to disable it. Ppps strategy is to give up the ghost (which is only hinted at in the rfc).

I think that there is a problem of documentation in either 'man 1 sh' or 'man 1 echo' as the '-e' flag is undocumented. Having looked at the source code for the 'echo' builtin in Bourne it would appear that the 2 acceptable flags '-n' and '-e' are mutually exclusive such that :- echo -n -e "COMMENTS:\n\n" results in :- "-e COMMENTS:\n\n" which is not what one might have expected, however echo -e "COMMENTS:\n\n\c" does give what is expected.

But the write performance from Windows NT client (using ChameleonNFS) is *very* poor - but reading from the NFS drives is no problem. I have read in the mailing-list archives that this is a wellknown problem - although I didn't really see any solutions for the problem? A strange thing is, that if I connect to the NFS server using a FreeBSD client, I have both fast reads and writes. Besides the slow write performance from Windows NT, I have another question, I can't seem to 'browse' the NFS 'shares' - only if I mount them (which may be quite logical). But this is a problem when I try to stream something from a DAT tape, directly to an NFS mount, since the backup software (ArcServe and BackupExec) can't use network mapped drive letters, the software only supports network addresses like \\servername\nfsmount .. Is there anyway to get around this? By the way, both machines use 3C900 ethernet cards, on a BNC based network.

I expected these font files to be ASCII-compliant; evidently they are MS-Word-compliant.

So I then added 300 lines(I will cut this down later!) of alias upd 192.0.0.29:1100 1100 alias upd 192.0.0.29:1101 1101 to my ppp.conf file, and everything works, but only my machine can connect(192.0.0.29), is it possible to alias upd 192.0.0.20/24:1100 1100 So ppp redirects upd port 1100 to every system in my sub net of 192.0.0??

What I need is some smart way to distribute the passwd entries from our login server to the mail server so that all the shell users get their mail + restricting access so they are not allowed to log in. As of today the mail server for our domain is the same as the login server. What I was thinking of was to put the mail on a diff machine and NFS share /var/spool/mail to that machine so pine etc works, and let the other machine handle all mail (SMTP and POP). If this is a good way to do it, how do I distribute the user entries in a secure and efficient way? _________________________________________________________ Frode Nordahl | PB 2509 Solli | Tlf: +47 22204718 Teknisk ansvarlig | N-0202 Oslo | Fax: +47 22203919 Computer Tjenester AS | Norway | froden@bigblue.no From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 2 14:11:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id OAA14914 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 2 Nov 1997 14:11:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) 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 OAA14909 for ; Sun, 2 Nov 1997 14:11:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog@freebie.lemis.com) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) id IAA03507; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 08:41:40 +1030 (CST) Message-ID: <19971103084139.13631@lemis.com> Date: Mon, 3 Nov 1997 08:41:39 +1030 From: Greg Lehey To: Wei Weng Cc: freebsd-questions Subject: Re: assembler for freebsd References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e In-Reply-To: ; from Wei Weng on Sun, Nov 02, 1997 at 04:49:06PM -0500 Organisation: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, Nov 02, 1997 at 04:49:06PM -0500, Wei Weng wrote: > hi. folks > Is there an assembler for freebsd?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello I've had FreeBSD installed on my PC for a fairly long time, but I never got round to using it much, and never finished the final tweaks to get things looking nice. However, I've recently started a job that involves using Solaris machines, so I've started to dust off my installation. I've got FreeBED 2.1.0 installed. When I installed it, my PC had an ethernet connection to the net, but now it is all on its own. I got as far as recompiling the kernel to get PS/2 mouse support, and to cut out some of the stuff I didn't need, and I got XFree86 up and running. I've had a look on the FreeBSD web site, and I think I've solved some of my questions (it is getting late at night, and sleep is now more important than surfing for more answers). Here are my questions: I have a UK keyboard (most of the time). I see I should use the kdbcontrol command to change the keyboard mapping. How do I make this automatic on boot up? Is there a keyboard mapping for Quebecois keyboards? (Cos I f*!&ing can't stand French AZERTY kbds). My /usr partition is almost full, yet my swap is usually almost empty. Is there any painless way to extend the /usr partition? I have Partition Magic, so I can shrink my adjacent DOS partition at will, but PM won't handle FreeBSD sub partitions. How can I get the window manager to use something other than 640x480, 16 colours, 60Hz, as the default config for XFree86? This is an S3 805 with 1M VRAM. The default window manager is not a pretty sight. I use CDE at work, and am most familiar with the OS/2 WPS UI. Any suggestions for a wm I might be more able to live with? What are the issues involved with upgrading to the latest FreeBED? Remember, I'm likely to have to take any downloads home by the caseload of floppies. (I'm more keen to upgrade gcc from 2.6.3 I have to 2.7.x). Does anyone know of any distributors for the Walnut Creek CDS and books in France? At work I use ksh. I've seen on the web page that there is a pdksh, I've also used bash. Anyone care to comment on the merits of pdksh and bash? I could learn to live with sh or csh. How do I go about changing the "network" name of the machine (even though it is isolated, the default myname@myhost, if I remember correctly wouldn't be my first choice. I think that's all. For now.

I cant even log in at the console. When the server boots it seems to stall on sendmail and httpd. The only way i can log in is when i boot up in single user mode. Then i run fsck and reboot. It still stalls on me. I can find anything in the log files to indicate what might be happening. Anyone have suggestions ?

Enter 1:wd(2,a)kernel at the boot: prompt. The "wd(2,a)" tells the kernel, which device to mount as root device. To avoid entering the bootstring each time, you might want to use nextboot(8).

If I do something like: batcher {file} | rsh -K {relay} "uux - -r -gd {site}!rnews" everything works just fine. If I get batcher to exec the rsh (by the -p option), however, the rsh session hangs. I see the session starting on the relay machine, but no data is ever transferred. If I use the -t arg on rsh, it will fail with a session timeout. If I replace the uux with cat, I see the batch output as expected so the data is getting passed through. This exact configuration worked on BSD/OS, so I'm at a loss for what the problem would be.

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. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: 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 one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, 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 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: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? ========================================= Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: 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 even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. 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 or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, 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. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 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 (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). 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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: 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.

You'll have to create a new slice, disklabel, and newfs it. I suppose you could try to use sysinstall to get at the new slice. See http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/ for some examples of what you'll need to do.

Just today preliminary > support for CD changers went into FreeBSD 3.0-current. You are absolutely wrong with this, Nadav. The green support in -current is for *ATAPI* CD-ROM changers. Miroslave, you need to make an entry in /sys/scsi/scsiconf.c. The reason why multi-LUN support is disabled by default is because too many CD-ROM drive manufacturers don't adhere to the SCSI specifications, and mistakenly make their devices respond to all LUNs, causing a single drive to misprobe as 8 drives. The following patch (relative to the version in FreeBSD 2.2.2) should fix the problem. Does anybody know whether *all* NAKAMICH MJ-* drives might be CD-ROM changers?

In fact, when I converted it over to a FreeBSD machine, all the users were wondering around exclaiming how it was running 10 times faster, eventhough it was the same hardware. It was some time ago that I did this, so I may have difficulty remembering the details. I converted from SCO to FreeBSD because SCO was failing due to a bug we had discovered but which SCO intended to do nothing about. FreeBSD didn't have the problem.

I mean: no mouse cursor appeared when I moved the mouse, the X-server didn't detect my mouse either, so I coudn't run it. I'm not sure, what is wrong: I've installed FreeBSD on three different computers, with three different mice, but the results were the same. I didn't even get any error message. Problem with mouse is the main reason why I use Linux (although I like FreeBSD much more). My mice mork with Linux. I've been thinking about solving this problem. I've got two ideas: (1) no mouse daemon (like Linux's GPM, shuld I install it?); (2) something wrong with the device files; (3) bad address or IRQ no. of my serial ports (this is the least likely, as I remember, these were set correctly). I didn't try to check above possibilities, as I'm not eager to destroy my working Linux system. I prefer to ask experts first.

I tried about four or five times but I either had to give up or something went wrong. I am a novice at installing Unix-like systems and I only once helped a friend of mine to install Linux on his own PC. I don't think I have any particular hardware problem. In few words, my computer is an Intel Pentium 100 based machine, with a Triton VX motherboard, 1 floppy drive, a Goldstar (ATAPI) 16x CD drive, two large EIDE hard disks, a Cirrus Logic 5434 PCI video card, a Genius PnP souncard and a standard modem.What is probably worth mentioning is that I run several OSes on the same machine. I am an OS/2 Warp 3 user but I also have Windows 95 and will probably install Linux. I have VComm's System Commander do the booting into the partition I choose when I turn on the system. My boot manager is FreeBSD compatible and the manual claims it works fine with almost any OS you can install on a PC. I use Partition Magic by PowerQuest to modify partitions. Unfortunately, Partition Magic does not support the FreeBSD file system (it will be detected as "other"), but if you are going to help me I'll write to Mr Fairbanks at PowerQuest complaining they could do a little bit more for FreeBSD users. This is the way I repartitioned my 2 hard drives (I read in the Bios LBA is enabled): the former HD is 2,5 GB large and contains 3 Fat16 primaries and 1 extended partition with 1 Fat16 and 1 HPFS logical partitions. I could use the latter HD (1,6 GB) for the FreeBSD, of course not entirely, for I might be needing some space on it if I decided to add Linux or anything else in the future. These are the problems I need to be helped to work out: when I booted from floppy I almost immediately got a message telling me to press some keys in order to... well I don't remember now, but I am sure that pressing "?" actually does nothing despite what is written on the screen: is it because I have an Italian keyboard? By the way, booting from Windows 95 DOS mode will fail in a moment... Anyway, after booting I entered the visual configuration screen: what does "collapsed" mean? Need I do anything at this stage? I then chose the drive, i. e. wd02. The editor displayed TWO unused partitions when I only had ONE! I knew it was just ONE: I had created it!! Besides, I didn’t know whether I had to set the partition I was going to assign to the FreeBSD active. Probably not: my Bios boot sequence only allows either "A:,C:" or "C:, A:". I gave up the installation program and reentered Partition Magic from Windows 95 DOS mode to see if I had made mistakes splitting the drive. Of course everything was OK. No problem, then. I started again, did the same things as before and found myself at the point I had to choose whether I had to install the FreeBSD boot manager, do a simple MBR installation (?!), or do nothing. Perhaps I know too little about MBRs. Perhaps I do not need to install a boot manager if I already have my own and maybe the MBR istallation will do as well: as I told you I use System Commander to switch between OSes and I expected it to detect FreeBSD as promised in the literature that came along with it: the only problem is that the paragraph covering the FreeBSD installation is barely 10 lines long and the book is detailed only when it deals with Windows 95's installation quirks (I'll drop VComm a line, too). At first I never went any further than this because I always came upon the message the installation had been completed with some errors. I found the heart to do more last fryday morning. And I could not believe my eyes reading everything was proceeding smoothely. No boot manager, no MBR. I was happy as a baby, really! But I fell hard back down on to the ground from cloud 9 when I attempted to install several applications. Only the archivers were installed on the disk. The best part of the selection I had made was not: error code 1 (?). I was relieved to see that System Commander displayed a green Unix BSD selection entry in the choice menu. But very unfortunately, it didn’t work: I wasn’t able to boot into my new partition fom there. What a disappointment... I had gone through the OS/2 Warp red package installation all by myself but the tiny huge footed red devil was now mocking at me. I checked the patition from Partition Magic screen. I had a new 498MB partition on my second HD, but was surprised to see it was only one. I expected to see at least another smaller primary for the swap. Doesn’t the FreeBSD require it? Perhaps I am only a bit too apprehensive, but I would so much appreciate some help and moral support. I am aware these are too many questions at a time and perhaps they’re even very stupid. But if you help me I might be of some help to other people. In addition I could make this OS known to my friends who keep sticking to Microsoft Windows and do not know about other operating systems. Also, I haven’t yet found any book on the FreeBSD here in Rome. Perhaps you can give me some advice on what to read and where to get it. Well, I think it’s enough for this time although I could put you another hundred questions. I’d be really thankful if you would give me a little help and advice. Best regards. Agostino Sonaggere.

LDAP server located in ports/net/ldap over the weekend. I took the shortcut and installed the ldap-3.3 package on the 2.2.2 CD-ROM. However when I tried to build the database I was getting core dumps. It took me a while, but I finally tracked it down to /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0 failing to be loaded for ldif2id2children. This causes any reference to a symbol in libc to SEGV (i.e., memset(), strtok(), etc.). To confirm this I rebuilt the images using -static and all is well. To doubly confirm I turned on the environment variable for ld.so that tells it to list all shared libraries it will be loading and then exit. For all images it reported it would load "-lc.3.0 -> /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0" (forgive me but I'm doing the exact text from memory here). However when I explicitly run ldif2id2children it reports no shared libraries being loaded. Hmmm, I'm puzzled as to what's up. I rebuilt the images the "normal" way (make clean; make ; make install). nm reports all is well but this image seems to have no reference to libc even though it needs to. FYI: I have linux emulation enabled (for jdk1.1.3 support). Any thoughts on why this is happening? What I can check? I've worked around this by making the images static. But I only have 24MB on this system so I'd rather use the shared libraries. Thoughts, hints, suggestions most welcome! - Jeff From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 3 06:32:14 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id GAA05783 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 06:32:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from pegasus.rutgers.edu (pegasus.rutgers.edu [128.6.10.45]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id GAA05771 for ; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 06:32:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from paradox@pegasus.rutgers.edu) Received: from mx070523 (iridium-asy-4.rutgers.edu [128.6.53.111]) by pegasus.rutgers.edu (8.6.12+bestmx+oldruq+newsunq/8.5) with SMTP id JAA09215; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 09:31:59 -0500 Message-Id: <3.0.3.32.19971103093243.008f8af0@128.6.10.45> X-Sender: paradox@128.6.10.45 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.3 (32) Date: Mon, 03 Nov 1997 09:32:43 -0500 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: Red Barchetta Subject: Diamond Fireport 40 SCSI controller 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 considering buying a Diamond Fireport 40 for my PC for use with Windows NT.

They (rsh) should be pretty close, considering they're both from the 4.4BSD-Lite source. There is one noted wierdness with FreeBSD's rsh. If you connect using RSH, close the connection, then immediately try to reconnect, the connection will lock up. Wait a couple of minutes and it will work fine. I think we're still trying to find that one.

FYI, UNIX is actually a trademark owned by AT&T/USL/Novell/SCO/whoever-has-it-now. Generally, that code is referred to as System V (or SYSV or SVR4 fro System V Release 4). FreeBSD is based on code that was meant to emulate the UNIX look and feel but was from a different code base put out by the University of California, Berkeley. This set is called `BSD' for `Berkeley Systems Distribution'. The various names are implementations of this set. FreeBSD, for instance, ports the 4.4BSD code to the Intel i386 architecture. Linux, well, is a bit of it's own beast, a mix of BSD- and SYSV-isms. I would highly suggest going to your local bookstore and picking up some books, particularly `UNIX System Administration, 2nd Ed.' by Nemeth et. al. > YOUR SYSTEM IS FREE, I CAN CERTAINLY AFFORD THAT, BUT I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE > A STARTING DOWNLOAD POINT... FreeBSD is split into `distributions' which are components of the system. They come as 240k archived chunks. This guide may help you select which parts you need: FreeBSD File Requirements: REQUIRED: floppies/boot.flp (boot floppy image) tools/fdimage.exe (DOS bootfloppy image writer) bin/* RECOMMENDED: manpages/ compat*/ doc/ (at your discretion) src/ssys.* > MOST OTHER SOFTWARE HAS SEVERAL DISKS NUMBERED DISK 1.

You shouldn't have any problems as long as you're using or installing FreeBSD 2.2.5 or later. The chip used is actually a 53c875j, and for some unknown reason Symbios used a different ID for it. FreeBSD prior to 2.2.5 did not know about it, so the install floppy will not work. A few weeks ago (just before 2.2.5 came out) I was trying to get this to work and got some suggestions from the -hackers mailing list. These are modifications to the driver code in sys/pci/ncr.c, and require rebuilding the kernel. Simplest way (but then the plain 875 won't be detected): > Just replace the line reading: > #define NCR_875_ID (0x000f1000ul) > by: > #define NCR_875_ID (0x008f1000ul) Or, if you have some programming knowledge: > The 53c875j has a different ID than the 53c875. If you add that ID to > the appropriate switch statements in sys/pci/ncr.c, you'll be fine, > assuming you have some other way to do a 2.2.2 install. The latest code > has these defines: > #define NCR_875_ID (0x000f1000ul) > #define NCR_875_ID2 (0x008f1000ul) > so you should be able to work this out from that. These will allow you to use the 875j under an older version of FreeBSD if you have already installed on a different disk or have a different way to install (like borrowing a controller or moving the disk to a different computer). The ncr code got some improvements in 2.2.5 and supports both chips at full speed, so you may want to upgrade anyway. As an additional note, I haven't been able to find any drivers (from Diamond or Symbios) to support the 875j under Dos or NT 3.51. --Neil On Mon, 3 Nov 1997, Red Barchetta wrote: > I am considering buying a Diamond Fireport 40 for my PC for use with > Windows NT.

Hum, well this one doesn't work from the beginning so I'm not sure that's it :-) Now that you mention it though, I have a similar problem with rlogin. I'm using kerberized rlogin. I can rlogin once to a 3.0-current system, and it will work just fine, and then start up another xterm and try rlogin'ing again and it will fail. If I wait a while, I can usually get back. My tickets haven't expired, and asking for a new ticket doesn't usually help (the fact that it helps sometimes may just be because it takes me time to type in all the info again, which could be enough for the problem to go away). It isn't something that I can duplicate on demand. It just happens. Of course, it won't do it right now :-) so I can't get the exact error message, but I believe it is the standard error message you get when you do a krlogin to a host that doesn't speak kerberos. This only happens talking to my 3.0-current server. It always works talking to a BSD/OS 3.0 server. If you don't mind me griping a bit more about Kerberos :-) I have a couple other things that I've run in to. When I kinit, it makes me type in my userid@realm as well as the password. Can't it just default me to userid@default-realm? When I su root, no ticket is generated for user.root@synapse.net. I tried modifying the login.conf to put kerberos before passwd, but it doesn't seem to help. I also can't login using ftp with a kerberos password. I know this is disabled by default, but on BSD/OS I was able to turn it on by adjusting the login.conf. Here's what I'm using right now in login.conf: auth-defaults:\ :auth=krb_skey_or_passwd,kerberos,passwd,skey: auth-root-defaults:\ :auth-login=krb_skey_or_passwd,kerberos,passwd,skey:\ :auth-rlogin=krb_or_skey,kerberos,skey:\ auth-ftp-defaults:\ :auth=krb_skey_or_passwd,kerberos,passwd,skey: Evan From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 3 10:18:06 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id KAA21031 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 10:18:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from seera.nttlabs.com (seera.nttlabs.com [204.162.36.81]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA21024 for ; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 10:17:57 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gene@nttlabs.com) Received: from nttlabs.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by seera.nttlabs.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA10926 for ; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 10:17:18 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <345E152E.F97D37FE@nttlabs.com> Date: Mon, 03 Nov 1997 10:17:18 -0800 From: Gene Minsung Kim Reply-To: gene@nttlabs.com Organization: NTT America, Inc., Multimedia Communications Laboratories X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.03b8 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: pthreads question Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, Does FreeBSD pthreads library fully implement the POSIX.1c?

Date: Mon, 3 Nov 1997 14:00:03 -0600 X-Priority: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Recently re-installed the Perl5 port, and got some errors about inet_ntoa missing in Socket.so in a new script that I installed. Checked libc, and inet_ntoa appeared to be there, so I went back to the perl5 port and re-ran Configure to tell it to use a static copy of Socket. When that went to compile, it stopped on an error about "Undefined symbol `___inet_ntoa' referenced from text segment" and a matching one for ___inet_aton. So I went to the lwp port, and ran a "make test" out of the work/libwww-perl-5.12 directory, and the tests failed: local/http........../usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "___inet_ntoa" called from perl:/usr/local/lib/ perl5/i386-freebsd/5.00401/auto/Socket/Socket.so at 0x8138110 Very odd, but I've verified that sys/socket.h was indeed being included in the Perl source, and libc was being compiled in, and that the /usr/src/libc/net hierarchy was being compiled into libc. Anyone have any ideas? Running 2.2-STABLE, freshly made from a cvsup as of "Thu Oct 30 18:22:09 CST 1997". Compiler optimizations set for -O2 -m486 -pipe. I have no way of knowing if this was working last week, as I hadn't attempted using lwp before last week.

The easiest way to tune the system is to rebuild your kernel and omit all the extras. The next is to stick some more memory in the system.

The 2.2.2 port is probably out of date. Try grabbing a newer one from http://www.freebsd.org. Try to be net-connected when you run the port so it can fetch the distribution archive for you. > P.S.

No, FreeBSD only works on Intel x86 processors, now POWER or PowerPC. Maybe NetBSD or OpenBSD works on the RS/6000, but I don't really know.

It's surprising how common this is becoming. It's only been a day or two since the last one. Here's the last answer: mail.local copies mail messages into /tmp, and a couple of occasions people have received really enormous ones which have caused the root file system to overflow. I've entered a problem report, but here are some solutions: 1. Place /tmp on a file system with *much* more free space. 2. Use ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/mail.local, which implements the fix in point (3). 3. Apply this fix to /usr/src/libexec/mail.local/pathnames.h and do a 'make install' in that directory. --- pathnames.h 1994/05/27 12:39:19 1.1.1.1 +++ pathnames.h 1997/09/09 01:42:38 @@ -34,4 +34,4 @@ */ #include -#define _PATH_LOCTMP "/tmp/local.XXXXXX" +#define _PATH_LOCTMP "/var/tmp/local.XXXXXX" Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 3 16:53:27 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id QAA18351 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 16:53:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from falcon.pacit.tas.gov.au (falcon.pacit.tas.gov.au [147.109.1.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id QAA18346 for ; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 16:53:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Carey.Nairn@ccd.tas.gov.au) Received: from carey.pacit.tas.gov.au (carey.pacit.tas.gov.AU [147.109.2.69]) by falcon.pacit.tas.gov.au (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA16084; Tue, 4 Nov 1997 11:52:05 +1100 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19971104114928.00a0c6c4@falcon.pacit.tas.gov.au> X-Sender: cpn@falcon.pacit.tas.gov.au X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Tue, 04 Nov 1997 11:49:29 +1100 To: Randall Hopper From: Carey Nairn Subject: Re: AWE64 support ?

My apologies for being rude. It didn't work for me. I would connect on the port and I'd get nothing. Perhaps its because I neglected the set escape line in my config?

The Bitsurfr series is a TA which acts just like a modem. No special drivers are necessary. Generally, add-in ISDN cards aren't too popular in the US yet.

The Internet site is http://www.indiana.com/~emiller The statement that automatic machine translation of human language "is not currently available, but the first versions will be available in less than 2 years!" makes be dubious of the whole affair.

The wrong choice could be disastrous. For example, if files were automatically created with the permissions rwxrwxrwx, anybody could access them in any way. On the other hand, creating them with r-------- could result in a lot of work setting them to what you really want them to be. UNIX solves this problem with a thing called umask (User mask). This is a default non-permission: it specifies which permission bits not to allow. As if this weren't confusing enough, it's specified in the octal number system, in which the valid digits are 0 to 7. Each octal digit represents 3 bits. By contrast, the more common hexadecimal system uses 16 digits, 0 to 9 and a to f. The original versions of UNIX ran on machines which used the octal number system, and since the permissions come in threes, it made sense to leave the umask value in octal. An example: by default, you want to create files which anybody can read, but only you can write. You set the mask to 022. This corresponds to the binary bit pattern 000010010. The permissions are allowed where the corresponding bit is 0: rwxrwxrwx Possible permissions 000010010 umask rwxr-xr-x resultant permissions By default, files are created without the x bits, whereas directories are created with the allowed x bits, so with this umask, a file would be created with the permissions rw-r--r--. umask is a shell command. To set it, just enter: $ umask 022 It's preferable to set this in your shell initialization file--see page 146 for further details. ---- Greg From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 3 20:02:16 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA05559 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 20:02:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA05541 for ; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 20:02:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id UAA26509; Mon, 3 Nov 1997 20:02:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Mon, 3 Nov 1997 20:02:04 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Zeus Daemon cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Problems with upgrade :( In-Reply-To: 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 On Mon, 3 Nov 1997, Zeus Daemon wrote: > > I've been attempting to upgrade an existing 2.1.7 system to 2.2.5, but > have come up with some very interesting problems. > > I am using a 2.2.5 boot floppy. > > The install starts out fine, I have had a few problems coping /etc to a > safe place, but then i started to backup /etc before the upgrade to make > sure i have a safe copy.

You need to have bin.inf on this disk too. And the files must be in a bin\ directory.

When I bring FreeBSD up, I usually login as root on console 1, then as a regular user on console 2 () and use the system there without worrying about a global wipeout. Also, just to monitor the efficiency of the system, I usually run systat -vmstat as root. Anyway, after using startx to use X-windows as a regular user, error messages something like "/kernel: cmd XF86-SVGA --- tried to use non-present SYSVSHM" show up on root's screen. That blow's systat's whole screen (ok, no biggie) but I'm enough of a perfectionist to want to know what's wrong. SYSVSHM refers to System V Shared Memory, I guess. I think this only happens with my reconfigured kernel, and I know of nothing that I've omitted there. Please give jme some suggestions where to look so I can clean my system up.

I just had the unfortunate experience of setting up FreeBSD on a 486 sx/33 with 12 megs of RAM, and 8 megs of it was on a RAMpAT card on the ISA bus. It also has a 170 meg HDD.

I beg to differ ;) I admin'ed an RS/6000 running AIX, and it was the single worst experience of my life (except that one drinking game...) Half of /etc was symlinks into /var, /, /bin and even /usr/sbin and other weird places. The command syntax was horrible, and the crontab command didn't work; I had to kill cron, edit the files, and restart cron to get anything to work right. the smit utility has the weirdest backup format I've ever seen, which we couldn't get to restore for the life of us when the drive died and we had to try to reinstall from backups. Various things randomly died and broke, including adduser deciding to refuse to copy skel files, and in fact apparently commiting the skel files to /dev/nul.... I could go on for hours. This machine was aptly named cheese, and after the hard drive died, it has been commited to oblivion, the monitor converted into a fishtank, and yes, it is used as a doorstop. A friend of mine (Ben; he's on this list) said a friend of his who run such a system rename the OS to ACHES.

I am new to freebsd, and I recently bought the CD to learn more from it. I have 2 questions concerning setting it up and using it, however. 1) I have a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, and I am currently trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.2. It's registering a conflict in the port address between the keyboard and mouse device, and I can't find a way around it. I need a mouse to use XWindows, but I can't get past this step. If it has something to do with recompiling the system, please walk me through it. If you don't want to walk me through it, that's fine - I will figure it out. 2) I have trouble logging on as super-user using any of the normal user accounts I created during setup. I get an error of something like "Not in the correct class to su root". Please help me. Also, I can't press backspace and erase any mistakes I type when I log on as a normal user, because it prints ^ and a character when I do so. When I log on as root, this doesn't happen. I appreciate your helping me. I am a beginner at UNIX and greatly appreciate any help you guys can give me. I know my questions sound like they come from an imbecil, but I am taking a brave new step in a new frontier. Thank you very much for having a tech support line.

Such as in Netterm, backspace should mean backspace (not delete). Other programs may be similar. Emulation should be set for vt100.

I have a little problem in that during boot-up, if I don't repeatedly hit "ScrollLock", the console will freeze and the only way to access the system is remotely. I narrowed this down to some bug in the virtual terminal software - my question is - is there a way to disable this "feature" from the boot/start-up process? Is there an upgrade? Can I load the virtual terminal process manually later? Is it configured in the Kernel? I'd prefer to not have to re-compile the kernel since I haven't done that before and I'm otherwise happy with the system's performance. This is a pretty generic system set up (Intel VS-440 PPro system with 64MB Ram, Adaptec 2940uw, Seagate Barricudas, 3Com 3c509). I recently purchased FreeBSD 2.2.2 and was dismayed to find that the damn thing wouldn't recognize my SCSI CD-ROM. I could boot to the CDROM but after installation, the OS wouldn't recognize the drive!! I was in a critical situation and needed to get the system back online so I threw 2.1.5 back online. From my perspective, 2.2.2 sucks - I don't understand why 2.1.5 installs perfectly and 2.2.2 doesn't - I'd expect the list of supported hardware to increase NOT decrease - but anyway, that's another gripe for another time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - if at all possible, e-mail replies: mike@rohms.com Thanks.

The master is on 192.168.1.1 and the slave is on 192.168.2.1 and they can see each other fine (ping/traceroute/ DNS entries). First I made the slave bind to the master. I tried ypbind -S mydomain,master.domain.com because I was trying not to use ypset. However, the only way I could make the slave bind to the master was to use ypset, a la ypbind -ypsetme ypset master.domain.com Is there a way to get these computers to talk to one another without using ypset? I thought that's what the -S flag in ypbind was for! Then I added slave.domain.com to /var/yp/ypservers on the master. Then I ran ypserv on the slave, touched /var/yp/master.passwd on the master, and ran make on the master. The master and slave don't want to talk. On the slave, an error message appears: slave ypserv[630]: couldn't find master for map master.passwd.byname@mydomain slave ypserv[630]: host at master.domain.com (192.168.1.1) may be pulling my leg This is repeated for all the maps. Does this mean that the master and slave are not authorized to talk to one another?

I feel I must be missing something obvious. A search of the questions archive yielded a bunch of questions asked, but no real answers given. Thanks for your input. I don't want to buy a used Sparc just yet. Heh. Everyone else I've asked about this says, "Doesn't ypinit take care of that?"

Well it the BSD 2.1 machine was (is) running on a 200 mhz machine so in comparison to my dx66 and the AIX machine that I use now its way faster! Overall though when I did get around to fbsd, I found many things very similiar to bsdi. Though really thinking about getting 2.2.5 on cd and installing it on a cyrix 166 that I have cause the only thing I seem to do with it these days is for fragging a few buddies on Duke3D!

VT100's rule!!! I have 2 at home, and one is permanently hooked into my box. 1st, VT100's are generally too stupid to assert carrier detect, so you'll need to put an entry into /etc/gettytab like this: hw.9600:\ :hw:tc=9600-baud: (BTW, I have a cheap serial cable, so I had to change these to 4800 baud) And then put an entry in /etc/ttys like this: cuaa0 "/usr/libexec/getty hw.4800" vt100 on ^^^^ (change this to 9600 if you have a good serial cable) Of course, it's on the first serial port, so change that for which ever you're installing it on. THEN kill -HUP 1, and you should be in business!!

Even if you only have one of them, you have them. By default, you have the sc driver, but you can change to vt if you think this would make a difference. Look in this part of the config file: # Enable this and PCVT_FREEBSD for pcvt vt220 compatible console driver device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint options XSERVER # support for running an X server. options FAT_CURSOR # start with block cursor # This PCVT option is for keyboards such as those used on IBM ThinkPad laptops options PCVT_SCANSET=2 # IBM keyboards are non-std # The syscons console driver (sco color console compatible) - default. device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr options MAXCONS=16 # number of virtual consoles options SLOW_VGA # do byte-wide i/o's to TS and GDC regs options "STD8X16FONT" # Compile font in makeoptions "STD8X16FONT"="cp850" options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=200 # number of history buffer lines Personally, I suspect some latent hardware problem.

I think you're jumping to conclusions here. This is definitely not standard behaviour. You don't say what your CD-ROM is, but I haven't heard of any problems with any SCSI CD-ROM, and the Adaptec 2940 is also well-known and used.

I have used the ps/2 mouse and never had a conflict with it. Did you recompile the kernel to enable the psm0 device?

If you are a sh user you can do this in the .profile. ^h is the backspace key, ^? is the del key, and I forget what the hell ^U maps to -- if anything. The default for intr is ^C, and is used to interrupt and kill the current program you are running. The default for erase is the del key, and is used to erase the last character typed into the shell input. The kill default is, hhmmmmm, ^u, oh what the hell. I never use it anyway. It is used to kill (erase) the entire current input line to the shell, and to output a newline. hmmmm, do you know what the .cshrc and .profile files are?

How do you determine that the OS doesn't >recognize it? I'm not sure what the brand of the CDROM is, but it's name-brand, on the SCSI interface. I wish it were as simple as a jumped conclusion, but to me it's pretty simple - either the CDROM drive works or it doesn't. Funny thing: I install 2.1.5 - it works perfectly; I install 2.2.2, it doesn't work - it isn't recognized; it can't be mounted using any recognizeable device identifiers; I went thru the entire hardware list and couldn't get anything to work. At the time, I had my 2.1.5 system crash - the hard drive was bad. This was an unforseen disaster so I didn't have the luxury of spending a day or two to find out what was wrong - not when my web server was averaging about 3M hits a day when it died. I had 2.2.2 so I thought this was an opportunity to install it - unfortunately the installation was not as smooth as 2.1.5. I tried three times, re-configured everything over and over and still couldn't get it to work. I even replaced the 2940uw with a newer version which supported the bootable CDROM - I could boot from the damn CDROM and install 2.2.2, but when FreeBSD booted, it refused to recognize the CDROM and I couldn't install any ports - and of course, cdrom.com is so blazingly fast [sic] that it wasn't economical to download what I needed. So I stuck the 2.1.5 CDROM back in, and without any troubles, without any configuration problems or kernel rebuilding, it installed flawlessly. How do you explain that?

Maybe so. I use the OS to get work done and don't have time to figure out why a newer version doesn't seem to support the same hardware configuration as its predecessor. Maybe it is possible to get it working, but I couldn't figure it out soon enough and I don't think it should have been that difficult.

No, read what I said. If you *had* rebuilt the kernel, it could have been a possibility, but I thought it was a long shot. You should be able to imagine, though, that what you report isn't typical, or nobody would use the system. >> Personally, I suspect some latent hardware problem.

First, I ask more questions. Where did you get the CD-ROM from? BTW, cdrom.com *is* fast. It's probably your net connect that's the problem.

System was 2.2.2-R. Are you aware of anything that you did wrong? I ask because I'm very careful about shutting the system down cleanly (it's FBSD 2.2.2R also). Last week, when I tried to cold-boot the machine one morning, it failed because the root filesystem was corrupt, I'm not aware of anything I did that was wrong. I shut the machine down by typing "halt" and waiting for the "Press any key to reboot" message to appear on the console before switching off power. Might this be a bug lurking in the depths of the 2.2.2 kernel?

You need to recompile your kernel with the SYSVSHM option. I had the same problem too a while ago, even so, X still seemed to run fine. I assume you have the kernel sources and gcc installed? 1. go to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and make a copy of your current kernel ('GENERIC' probably), check bootup messages if your not sure. 2. have a look in the file (don't edit!) 'LINT' until you find a line like 'option SYSVSHM'. There will probably be two more option lines nearby looking very similar, (like 'option SYSVSEM' I think). 3. Copy these three option lines into the copy of your kernel config file 'NEW_KERNEL' or whatever. 4. run 'config NEW_KERNEL' or whatever you called it. 5. cd ../../compile/NEW_KERNEL and do a 'make clean', 'make depend', 'make all' and finally 'make install'. 6. Reboot and keep your fingers crossed. These instructions are from memory so there might be some errors, check out the FAQ that came with your distribution, usually in /usr/share/docs/FAQ I think.

Well, strangely is not exactly the word. When I rebooted, I get to a login prompt but cannot log in as root, or anybody! Is this whole upgrade hosed? Do I have to start over with a new install and trash all my previous files and setups? Or is there some magic that can get me in so that I can login as root and get my /etc/group file fixed back up?

The machine I want to install it on does not have a CD but is on a Workgroups network. I load the CD in one machine and connect to it using the MSClient for DOS on a floppy. I start the install and get through it to the point where it asks for the source of the distributions. I chose existing file system and specified the drive letter e: (I also tried e:\). It reports that it can't find the distributions for doc bin ... I also set up an FTP server and used the CD as the root. Again, it reported that it couldn't find the distributions. My guess is that there may be a case matching problem in the program as far as the directories go. Can you help me with the proper syntax for the existing file system install?

If you are tracking -current or -stable, make sure the line in /etc/make.conf "#MAKE_KERBEROS4= yes" is commented out and do a "make world". If you have a binary only distribution, go to /stand/sysinstall. Select the "upgrade" option, answer the prompts. When prompted for distributions, select the "custom" option and finally select the "bin" and "man" options. In both of these cases the effect is to replace your Kerberos executables and corresponding man pages with the standard ones.

Boot with the -s option to get single user mode and run the following: mount -u / mount -a That will get your filesystems back. Then run `vipw' and make sure the password file is OK. Take a look at the passwords: if they don't start with $1$ you need to fetch & install the `des' distribution.

You need to make sure that the settings for the plotter match with the settings for cuaa1. See printcap(5) for how to set stty settings in the printcap.

I'm using http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/ppp-971023.src.tar.gz on my ancient 2.0.5 system -- works fine. Here are the filters I use (from ppp.linkup): set ifilter 0 deny host 199.95.208.0/24 MYADDR tcp src eq http set ifilter 1 deny host 199.95.207.0/24 MYADDR tcp src eq http set ifilter 2 deny host 204.71.191.209/26 MYADDR tcp src eq http set ifilter 3 deny host 199.95.200.70 MYADDR tcp src eq http set ifilter 4 deny host 204.71.191.221/24 MYADDR tcp src eq http set ifilter 5 deny host 206.251.6.155/26 MYADDR tcp src eq http set ifilter 6 deny host 206.251.7.133 MYADDR tcp src eq http set ifilter 7 permit 0/0 0/0 set ofilter 0 deny host 199.95.208.0/24 tcp dst eq http set ofilter 1 deny host 199.95.207.0/24 tcp dst eq http set ofilter 2 deny host 204.71.191.209/26 tcp dst eq http set ofilter 3 deny host 199.95.200.70 tcp dst eq http set ofilter 4 deny host 204.71.191.221/24 tcp dst eq http set ofilter 5 deny host 206.251.6.155/26 tcp dst eq http set ofilter 6 deny host 206.251.7.133 tcp dst eq http set ofilter 7 permit 0/0 0/0 The filters are working for me. When I connect to the dilbert page, I no longer get the stuff from ad.doubleclick.net ;-) Since I'm almost totally clueless when it comes to networking, protocols, and how to setup these filtering rules, I had to read the source to figure out the syntax. Here're the notes I made for myself: Filtering: From ``set log tcp/ip'' we see that each packet can be identified by: TYPE / DIRECTION / source ADDRESS / destination ADDRESS where TYPE is tcp/udp/icmp, DIRECTION is input/output, and ADDRESS is ip-number:port In the BNF grammar that follows, TYPE corresponds to , DIRECTION corresponds to the filter types `ifilter' and `ofilter', and ADDRESS is the ip/port combination. How do afilter and dfileter fit in? BNF grammar: ::= 'set' -1 | 'set' NUMBER 'clear' | 'set' NUMBER | 'set' NUMBER | 'set' NUMBER ::= 'afilter' ; keep Alive | 'dfilter' ; Dial | 'ifilter' ; Input | 'ofilter' ; Output ::= 'permit' | 'deny' ::= /*empty*/ | 'host' | 'port' ::= 'tcp' | 'udp' | 'icmp' ::= /*empty*/ | 'src' | 'dst' | 'src' 'dst' ::= 'eq' | 'lt' | 'gt' ::= NAME | NUMBER ::= /*empty*/ | 'estab' ; I wonder what ``estab'' is? ::= /*empty*/ | 'src' 'eq' NUMBER ::=

Before removing the floppy, be sure to unmount it: umount /floppy or umount /dev/fd0. Then it's OK to remove it. You have to re-mount it after you change disks or a floppy is reinserted.

It was sending the data too Fast. There was nothing to tell it to wait until the plotter had caught up. I finally figured out how to add this to rc.serial (man pages are real nice once you figure out which ones you need to look at).

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello. I am trying to setup the qmail email package on my freebsd 2.2.2 box. It states in the INSTALL.ids file that in order for the qmail binary to even compile, two new groups must be created: qmail and nofiles. It then gives six IDS that are needed to run various parts of qmail: each of these ids have a home directory of /var/qmail and a shell of /bin/true. Unfortunately, neither the adduser program, or the manual additions of these users and shells seems to work. In fact, I get a currupted master.passwd file error, which I found out later it was complaining about the use of the /bin/true shell. I then checked /etc/shells and sure enough, no mention of that shell. I checked the man page for shells, and basically was told that the /etc/shells program gives the shells that are on this system. Makse sense. :) So. Do all I need to do is add /bin/true and /bin/false to /etc/shells? Thanks.

Windows 95 is only Fat32 if formated for Fat32. It also supports VFAT, which is a slightly improved FAT, that can do long filenames.

It's the section of the manual in which you'll find it. 8 is system administration commands. Here's an appropriate section from the next edition of "The Complete FreeBSD": The most comprehensive documentation on FreeBSD is in the form of man pages. Nearly every program on the system comes with a short reference manual explaining the basic operation and various arguments. You can find the more important man pages starting on page 487 of this book. Online, you view the man pages with the command man. For example, to learn more about the command ls, type: $ man ls The resultant display corresponds to the man page for ls on page 890. The online manual is divided up into sections numbered: 1. User commands 2. System calls and error numbers 3. Functions in the C libraries 4. Device drivers 5. File formats 6. Games and other diversions 7. Miscellaneous information 8. System maintenance and operation commands 9. Kernel interface documentation In some cases, the same topic may appear in more than one section of the on- line manual. For example, there is a user command chmod and a system call chmod(). In this case, you can tell the man command which you want by specifying the section number: $ man 1 chmod This will display the manual page for the user command chmod. References to a particular section of the on-line manual are traditionally placed in parenthe- ses in written documentation. For example, chmod(1) refers to the user command chmod, and chmod(2) means the system call.

I have 3 drives in my system which shares Win95 and FreeBSD. If I mount drive C using % mount -r -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /C Then I get the warning. If I mount any of my data partitions then I don't. I wouldn't use FAT32 anywhere... certainly I think FreeBSD would have problems with it as heaven knows what changes it makes to important sectors used by the filesystem. Eddy Deegan.

The ports don't actually contain the programs; just a makefile for info like where and how to install, and, on some, patches for making it run under FreeBSD. All the netscape's come from ftp.netscape.com. You can also just pull down the netscape4 package from ftp.netscape.com directly; I can dig up the URL if you need it. > > Mark > New Toys Multimedia > *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 5 00:27:02 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA23405 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 5 Nov 1997 00:27:02 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from attila.stevens-tech.edu (root@attila.stevens-tech.edu [155.246.14.11]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA23399 for ; Wed, 5 Nov 1997 00:26:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from wweng@attila.stevens-tech.edu) Received: from attila.stevens-tech.edu (attila.stevens-tech.edu [155.246.14.11]) by attila.stevens-tech.edu (8.8.5/8.8.3.1) with SMTP id DAA24239; Wed, 5 Nov 1997 03:26:49 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 5 Nov 1997 03:26:49 -0500 (EST) From: Wei Weng To: Mark Midolla cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Netscape 4 In-Reply-To: <34601216.C47E2175@newtoys.com.au> 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 On Wed, 5 Nov 1997, Mark Midolla wrote: > Hi, > > This is probably a dumb question but here goes. > When I look thru the ftp site at the ports225/www/netscape4 directory, > there are only a few small files there. > Wheres the actual archive of Netscape 4 ? > > Mark > New Toys Multimedia that is how port works. When you execute it, it actually pulls the installation files off the ftp site and then automatically installs it. But if you are behind a firewall, you have to use some sockified ftp client.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk [Nik: CC'd to freebsd-questions for amusement value, and in the hope that if you can't help me, someone can - my brain has died] Well, it's a bit of a long shot but you might be able to help. I recently upgraded one of our machines from 2.2.2-RELEASE to 2.2.5-RELEASE and since then I've been getting strange errors which cause the machine to hang up, viz: ncr0: timeout ccb=f0d12400 (skip) ncr0: timeout ccb=f0d12800 (skip) Power cycling / resetting the machine appears to be the only way of getting out of this. I also get (intermittently) 'COMMAND FAILED' errors on sd0 or sd1 (more commonly sd1) immediately prior to this. Most commonly these errors occur when accessing particular partitions, which leads me to believe there are some problems with the disks themselves rather than the controller card; additionally, the problem persists despite testing the machine with another (identical) controller card. So, my questions: _is_ it a problem with the disks? (should I be looking for replacements?) or is there something else I've missed?

Are you going to use a modem on the BSD box to dial directly into the office UNIX box? Then you would use tip, otherwise you would use telnet to connect over an internet connection. The only hard part is setting the terminal type for the BSD box. If you run XWindows then most likely you would log in through an xterm, and that would be your terminal type. If not, then you would probably set the terminal type to cons25 or vt100.

One of my first changes after an install is PATH in .profile, where I add a colon to the front of the path so that my current directory is found in my path. Why doesn't .profile have it that way by default? It seems to me that you would want to look in the current directory first.

Two of the 2940s have 4*4Gb external disks attached, with some old Sun disks and an Exabyte on the first 2940.

To make sure I've ironed out the problems with the external disks, cabling, etc, I've been running "newfs;sync;fsck;sync" on each disk, concurrently.

It seems to me that > you would want to look in the current directory first. This issue is discussed very frequently, and I am sure is appears in one of the comp.unix FAQs. If "." (or a blank entry) appears at the front of your PATH, then someone can put a program called "ls" in their home directory or anywhere else that they can write to, and if you run "ls" while in that directory, you run whatever code they want you to, for example: #!/bin/sh rm -rf / That would be especially bad if you're root, but even if you're a regular user, you don't want to run a script that will erase your home directory, or send threatening mail to the president, or whatnot. Now, suppose you put "." at the end of your PATH. That's not as bad, because you'll run /bin/ls instead of ./ls, but many people make characteristic typos, like "mroe" for "more", "sl" for "ls", etc. A random user could take advantage of that in the same way. There is a strong consensus among people who care at all about security that "." in the PATH is a Bad Thing, and I seriously doubt FreeBSD would ever ship with such a hole. -- Matthew Hunt * Think locally, act globally. finger hunt@mph124.rh.psu.edu for PGP public key.

Funny you should ask that; I had to look it up just two days ago for one of the engineers at work. He was working on an ethernet driver for Macs and his test Mac was source-quenching large ping requests. Source quench means the target system does not have enough resources, typically network buffers, to respond to the request. I'd give you a page reference in _TCP/IP Illustrated_ but my copies are at work. Look up "source quence" in the index, that's how I found it.

If you used FIPS or a comercial partitioner to make your partitions, you should be able to run a restore program... If you can't to either of those, you need to: 1) Read up a bit on Hard Drives 1.5) Calculate the specs for your partition table by hand 2) Get some sort of boot disk from a friend or, if you chose a good operating system, the tech support 3) Manually re-enter the partition table OR: Get professional help. jtkipp@students.wisc.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 5 09:24:44 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id JAA23125 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 5 Nov 1997 09:24:44 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from foo.bar.com (F211-070.net.wisc.edu [144.92.211.70]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id JAA23117 for ; Wed, 5 Nov 1997 09:24:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jesse@foo.bar.com) Received: from localhost (jesse@localhost) by foo.bar.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA00239; Tue, 4 Nov 1997 23:12:35 -0600 (CST) Date: Tue, 4 Nov 1997 23:12:34 -0600 (CST) From: "jtkipp@students.wisc.edu" To: "Van Den Bergh, Andreas" cc: "'FreeBSD'" Subject: Re: installing boot.flp In-Reply-To: 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 On Wed, 5 Nov 1997, Van Den Bergh, Andreas wrote: > Hi, > I've downloaded boot.flp, ... but it's 1,479,138 bytes big, and this > does not > fit on a 1.44 MByte floppy.

[usually use Partition editor in FBSD sysinstall] If you want to keep 400 megs out of the second HD for more Windows storage, and the Hard Drive is already partitioned, you can use a freeware utility called FIPS to create a second primary partition. I just used FIPS a couple of weeks ago, and despite the (obligitory) ominous warnings, it is very easy to use and safe, and if anything goes wrong, you can undo the changes and try again (or give up and pay somebody to try again...)

I just installed FreeBSd 2.2.2, I have limited knowledge of the unix O/S, but am a fast learner. I have a few problems thus far though, and I would like to know if you can help answer my questions (listed below): 1- When I press F2 for FreeBSd, the boot MGR gives me "F?" why? (I have been able to use the boot disk, and boot the kernel from the hardrive though, and I have tried "fsck", but still nothing?, have been using: wd(o,a)kernel when i get boot: on the boot floppie) 2- How do i execute a browser, I have gotten PPP connections going, just cannot seem to execute a browser, I have both Mosaic, and Lynx installed in /usr/ports/www ? (I think?) 3- How do I check my e-mail? is there a good graphical software that someone knows of that is ported for freebsd? if so, where can i get it? 4- When using "mail" to send mail, how does one send, I can enter the subject, and then type a message, but then what? I also tried this "mail whoever@isp.net >>somethng.txt" (using ee to create a txt file) 5- When I use a username other than "root", why can't I write to anything? ee wouldn't let me save any txt files? to anywhere? 6- how does one config, then execute the x-windows GUI? 7- how do i run ircII? i can execute irc, but cannot seem to connect? 8- when using ppp, how does one leave the connection, "shell"? if i do this, will the connection remain active, how do programs based for the internet know if I am connected or not? 9- how does one setup Apache? I have the port installed, (also have the Perl for it) 10- last, but not least, is "perl" the perl5.003 compiler that came in the ports collection? case almost all the perl apps won't work with it?

Ok, I finally figured it out (by trying to install kerberos 5 and running in to the same problem). First, you need to make sure that the 'make' that it tries to run is gmake. I did this by linking gmake to make, and putting /usr/local/bin first in my path. Second, it doesn't like the default tcl/tk install directories. For tcl, you need to make symlinks for /usr/local/lib/tcl*/tclConfig.sh to /usr/local/lib/tclConfig.sh, /usr/local/include/tcl*/tcl.h to /usr/local/include/tcl.h; do the same for tk, replacing tcl by tk in the above. Again, I think it would be nice if this was a port so that others won't have to spend a whole day trying to get this thing to work...

My clients have requested to use an internal network but want to maintain the functionality of their internet connection. I have aquired natd-1.10 and installed it. The machine that I am working on has 2 ethernet cards ( fxp0 and ep0 ) fxp0 is the exteral connection ep0 the internal. I have configured rc.firewall to realize this, I have selected the option simple in the rc.conf file for the type of firewall. The connections are also in working order. I can ping the internal and outside the network here is where the problem occurs: I put natd in verbose mode and it give me readouts on all the traffic trying to leave the internal for the outside. It should read something like this: 192.168.1.20 --> 206.206.121.10 aliased to 206.206.121.42 -->206.206.121.10 but it doesn't read like this it reads like: 192.168.1.20 --> 206.206.121.10 aliased to 192.168.1.20 --> 206.206.121.10 well anyway to make a long post shorter...I looked at every conf file that exists and nothing seems to be out of order.

Suppose someone sticks a hard link called 'cp' in your current directory which points to 'rm' ... OK, so this particular example is unlikely, but unless you are VERY SURE you A) know what you are doing, and B) no-one else uses your system (ie: it's a single-user machine) you should be aware that the most obvious way to fall foul of people who think it's funny to cause you grief is to provide them with a mehcanism to trip you up. And sticking the current dir in your path is just such a mechanism. Ideally when running as root you should have no path whatsoever, although most people don't go quite that far.

If you run /stand/sysinstall, there's a very good chance of overwriting your /etc/rc.conf with junk. Make a copy before running sysinstall. I'm appending the text of the bug report.

Roughly speaking, binhex is to MAC as uuencode is to UNIX. There is a program called `megatron', part of the netatalk package, which will unhex it. There is also a nice program called mcvert, which will do the translation; I don't know if it is the ports package or not. -- Jonathan From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 5 17:23:16 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA25608 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 5 Nov 1997 17:23:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from cabri.obs-besancon.fr (cabri.obs-besancon.fr [193.52.184.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id RAA25597 for ; Wed, 5 Nov 1997 17:23:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jmz@cabri.obs-besancon.fr) Received: by cabri.obs-besancon.fr (5.57/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA01252; Thu, 6 Nov 97 02:24:40 +0100 Date: Thu, 6 Nov 97 02:24:40 +0100 Message-Id: <9711060124.AA01252@cabri.obs-besancon.fr> From: Jean-Marc Zucconi To: grog@lemis.com Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <19971106102853.10259@lemis.com> (message from Greg Lehey on Thu, 6 Nov 1997 10:28:53 +1030) Subject: Re: binhex format?

If you want to confirm the settings, do `make patch' in the port directory, which will stop the make just before the build step. Look through the config files in work/, make the necessary changes, then do `make' from the top level dir to continue.

After several minutes of not doing anything, the modem hands up. I tried adjusting the s10 register, and that didn't change anything. Does userPPP have an inactivity timeout? Is there a low-overhead way to keep the like active? or, will I have to bring this up with my ISP? Have you read any of the documentation ? Try searching for timeout.

No, 16650's run the port at 4x whatever speed you set it to. So a port set at 57600 is treated as 230.4 Kbps. It is a rather nice way of getting around software that doesn't understand the higher port speeds and works everywhere.

Another possibility you might want to look at is whether you might have downloaded the boot.flp by ASCII mode transfer rather then BINARY mode; if you use ASCII mode, it won't work, and I think it makes the file bigger, too. > > Jesse kipp > Jtkipp@students.wisc.edu > *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 5 18:56:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id SAA03271 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 5 Nov 1997 18:56:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from execulink.com (snel.execulink.com [199.166.6.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id SAA03259 for ; Wed, 5 Nov 1997 18:56:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from empey@integral.on.ca) Received: from empey (pc-531.on.rogers.wave.ca [24.112.48.46]) by execulink.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id VAA04004 for ; Wed, 5 Nov 1997 21:55:46 -0500 (EST) Received: from Spooler by empey (Mercury/32 v2.01); 5 Nov 97 21:52:19 -0500 Received: from spooler by integral.on.ca (Mercury/32 v2.01); 5 Nov 97 21:51:48 -0500 From: "David Empey" Organization: Integral Communications To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wed, 5 Nov 1997 21:51:32 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: FreeBSD/Win 95 Network Backup Reply-to: empey@integral.on.ca Priority: normal In-reply-to: <199709010002.RAA24697@hub.freebsd.org> X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.54) Message-ID: Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a question about how FreeBSD accesses devices on a Win95 to which it is networked.

When FreeBSD accesses a drive (or other device) on a networked machine, what happens behind the scenes? Does the FreeBSD box use its own drivers to access the drive, or does it use those of the host (the later would, I think, be necessary to accomplish my goal).

Compelte and official is hard to define. 2.2.5 is the last complete 'release' as such, and is probably what you want. 3.0-SNAP is a psuedo-release which is a daily 'picture' of the main line of developement; it has new features that are just being deveoped, but isn't an actualy supported 'release'; it's more for testing purposes. > I would like to order the documentation for FreeBSD (Handbook) > on paper.

(I think?) If it's in /usr/ports, it's not installed. you'll need to do this (as root) cd /usr/ports/www/lynx make ; make install This will pull down the code, compile, and install the packages for you. Note that for Netscape or Mosaic you will need to have XWindows up. > 3- How do I check my e-mail? is there a good graphical software that > someone knows of that is ported for freebsd? if so, where can i get it? You can probably find a way to use Netscape's mail program. I use pine, some people use emacs, elm, mutt, exmh, or a million other programs.

Check the permissions; make sure the user you are has write permission to the directory; (let's say your username is user) cd /home chmown -R user user chmod -R 755 user user being both your username and the name of your home directory (the default) then (still as root) cd / chmod 4777 tmp > 6- how does one config, then execute the x-windows GUI? Read through the RELNOTES and REAME's in the XFree86 directory on ftp.freebsd.org; they're pretty complete. If you have specific questions, you can relay them through. > 7- how do i run ircII? i can execute irc, but cannot seem to connect? ummm... This I don't know about. a few points, tho: Any firewalls between you and the IRC server? IRC server setup right? IRC client (what you're running) setup right? I don't know much about IRC setup, so someone else will have to jump in on this one. > 8- when using ppp, how does one leave the connection, "shell"? if i do > this, will the connection remain active, how do programs based for the > internet know if I am connected or not? If you shell out, the connection won't work right. You'll have to start ppp on a different vty (say, Alt-F3), and when you establish the connection, leave it there and do your work from a different vty (Alt-F1 or F2, unless you've changes /etc/ttys for more than 3 vtys) > 9- how does one setup Apache?

I'd think it would have to use whatever drivers are present on the system the drive is physically attached to.

Get > a concensus from the list on that one (jump in guys) I'm using Netscape Communicator 4.03, and it works really great! I've used elm before, and now I don't ever want to return back to elm. :-) BTW, if you want to use NC4 as your mail program, be sure to get the latest version! Older versions (I'd say it was 4.01 or something) have a terrible bug which garbles all your mail folders if you use movemail and mail filtering feature. And fetchmail (or any other POP2/3 client program) + NC4 w/ movemail is also a fantastic combination if you want to handle from NC4 local mail (such as system maintenance messages) along with POP mail. (Don't forget to change the permission of movemail binary to 2555 and the group to "mail".

Yes, the perl in the ports collection is perl5. However, the system-default perl (/usr/bin/perl) is still of version 4.0. You must install perl5 explicitly in order to use it.

Well, first you can always search the GNATS database, and the archives for this list to check if a bug you have is already known. In addition, this specific bug was detailed in the errata.txt file for 2.2.2R (see the releases page on the web site: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html).

Check that it you're using HD 1.44M disks, and that your floppy drive is configured for 1.44M in your BIOS configuration. Also try format a: before using fdimage, or you can have fdimage format the disk for you. Check fdimage /? and use the format and verbose options. This will give you an idea of what's going wrong. Try scandisk a: after you format to check to see if anything is wrong. Also, maybe your floppy drive is worn out, or needs cleaned, or isn't 1.44M and / or HD. If all else fails, just re-download boot.flp, and make sure 'binary' option is enabled.

The bin bit is MacBinary and is used to put the data and resource fork of files into a format that can be stored on file systems that dont support two forks (such as ufs,FAT etc). hqx is a format to translate the file to ASCII text so they can be sent via email etc. Tools to deal with these files ar ein the ports collection somewhere I beleive but also come with netatalk or go to your local umich mirror (ftp://ftp.tas.gov.au/mac/umich/utils/unix/ if you cant find your local one) and look in utils/unix for macutils (or one of the other myriad of progrmas). If all else fails I can stick some tools up for FTP.

There is no particular limit, other than what is reasonable. maxusers is not just related to the number of people you want logged in. You are doing a reasonable volume of web traffic on the machine, so it is reasonable to need a maxusers far higher than 30. netstat -m will show the number of mbuf clusters in use. How often does this problem occur? Just try increasing maxusers to 128 and 256. You can set NMBCLUSTERS higher without increasing maxusers, but there are other things that make a maxusers of 30 not entirely appropriate. 3000 or 4000 so should be a fair setting, but that depends on your traffic. > > > >> > >> options "MAXMEM=98304" > > > >If you have 128 megs of RAM, you are only using 96 with this setup. > > > >You should be able to handle around 400 httpd process w/128 megs of RAM > >without much trouble if nothing else is going on. > > > >[Gregory, Scott, SrA, SAF/AADXT] > > > >My mistake.

I'm not too worried about the processor unless you are doing a lot of CGI or using specialized modules. The memory is the problem; you probably won't be able to go that high with only 96 megs.

I run SAMBA on the BSD box, and then mount the "drives" on NT. Once the drive is mounted, it is eligible for backup with backup programs. The file copying is done using the SMB protocol, and windoze doesn't know the difference. One caveat from my days at an un-named company, where we were trying to develop a program that would reliably be a CDR burner over the network: CDR's need a constant stream of data at a steady rate. Data over/under-runs are very possible in this scenario. IMHO, you stand a better chance of burning frisbees than backups over the network. Matthew D.

If anyone knows of such a way to do this, and can reply to me directly that would be great. I am no longer subscribed to questions.

Last I checked the 2.2.5 ERRATA it was empty. What about creating a xxx-errata mailing list, for each release? I.e. 2.2.5-errata, and have any changes placed in the errata mailed to the list as well, so we dont have to check it every day? There is no other easy way I can think of for one to learn of updates to the errata file--since the last time one checks it.. Just make it a sysconfig option of 'do you want to be added to the errata list for x release?' if yes, ask for an email address and shoot off an email submission request (if it fails, tell them user what to do). -Brandon From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 6 09:19:28 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id JAA28592 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Nov 1997 09:19:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from w3.wind-river.com (w3.wind-river.com [204.229.180.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id JAA28587 for ; Thu, 6 Nov 1997 09:19:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from nickh@w3.wind-river.com) Received: from [204.229.180.9] (gandalf.wind-river.com [204.229.180.9]) by w3.wind-river.com (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id KAA07124 for ; Thu, 6 Nov 1997 10:19:55 -0700 (MST) Message-Id: <199711061719.KAA07124@w3.wind-river.com> Subject: Need help with Popper Date: Thu, 6 Nov 97 10:19:17 -0700 x-sender: nickh@mail.Wind-River.com x-mailer: Claris Emailer 1.1 From: Nicholas Hardgrove To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Recently, I compiled the new version of qpopper (2.4).

I am running FreeBSD V2.2.2 with Apache. I have checked all the config files within /usr/local/etc/apache and everything seems in order. Yet, when I direct a CGI inquiry from a web site to a CGI file in my /usr/local/www/cgi-bin directory, the browser gives an error to say that "the path given was not found or there is no such file". The Server itself works fine if you URL to the host, the Web Site comes right up. So at least I know Apache is working. Why am I unable to URL into my CGI file as above.? Greg Bedrossian.

We would like to connect some of our neighbors networks in our building to take advantage of our T1, but due to security, and just plain admin. issues, we don't want them to be on our same class c, and we don't really want to assign them their own. I don't even want them on our physical network (plugged into our hubs). I've been looking at natd and fwtk to see if that would be a good way to set these folks up. My idea was that I could attach their network to a NIC in a FreeBSD box, and setup natd to translate ip's for their NIC/network in that FreeBSD box. I could have one NIC for each of these networks. It sounds OK in theory, but I'm tripping at the very first steps, and I think I'm missing peices. Should this work or am I insane? The main issue is to protect our network from theirs. I don't want one of them to be able to access any of our machines by changing the ip on their machine, etc..

I read and respond to that mail at an irregular schedule, so that often when I send mail, the PPP link is down. I sometimes get the message "Cannot send mail for five days", and wonder frequently if the mail ever got sent. The question: is there a signal or some other way I can communicate with sendmail which will cause it to attempt to send immediately? If so, I can put the appropriate kill command in the script which fetches mail. Comments appreciated. Thanks.

I'm a very big fan of Perl and I tend to install it a lot. Every time, I get to this Configure question: Some kernels have a bug that prevents setuid #! scripts from being secure. Some sites have disabled setuid #! scripts because of this. First let's decide if your kernel supports secure setuid #! scripts. (If setuid #! scripts would be secure but have been disabled anyway, don't say that they are secure if asked.) If you are not sure if they are secure, I can check but I'll need a username and password different from the one you are using right now. If you don't have such a username or don't want me to test, simply enter 'none'. Other username to test security of setuid scripts with? [none] demo "su" will (probably) prompt you for demo's password. Password: I don't think setuid scripts are secure. Does your kernel have *secure* setuid scripts? [n] I'm never quite sure what to answer here. I tend to say "n" and enable setuid emulation, but I'd rather be a bit more clued-in. I seem to recall that I actually understood more of this at one point and it had something to do with a race condition and passing a file number and something about the fix involving /dev/fd/*. Is this fixed in FreeBSD? (-STABLE, -CURRENT, or -ANYWHERE?) If not, is there a reason?

If you're not planning on putting any bootable OSs on the second disk, then use a DOS boot floppy and run FDISK /MBR to remove the Boot Manager. Fixing this involves reinstalling. Your geometry was mis-detected by the installation program and while this won't impact system operation it will mess up booteasy.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello to all once again. I realize that qmail has a mailing list all to themselves, but I think it better if I try and seek out some advice from a fellow freebsd user. So far, I have had to taylor some of the qmail program instructions when working with freebsd. For example, the /etc/master.passwd file is far different than it says in the INSTALL file. I will explain what problem I have encountered, and so that I don't clutter up the list, if anyone has any ideas, they are welcome to contact me directly. I have setup all the qmail users and groups. Qmail groups qmail and nofiles are indeed recognized as vallid groups. I next setup the qmail users, all seven of them. I entered their names in /etc/master.passwd giving them a shell of /usr/bin/true. In the INSTALL file, it says to give them shells of /bin/true, but someone on this list told me that the correct syntax is /usr/bin/true. Next, I ran the ./qmail-config program. It collected the hostname domain name, ETC, and wrote all the info to disk. Next, I created aliases for root postmaster and mailer-daemon. All three alias files were where they should be in the alias's home directory. Next, I moved all mailboxes that were in /var/mail to ~user/Mailbox, just as it says in the INSTALL file. The problems started happening next. I entered in the sring it says to enter to perform some pre-upgrade tests. The string was: env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$"PATH \ qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail & I was next given a PID number. The docs next say to do a ps to look for all the qmail daemons running. Here is the problem, only one daemon is running qmail-lspawn. None of the other three daemons are running when I do a ps -x to see all my processes. I decided to go ahead and start the testing anyway. All the local message test go as they should, but nothing remotely works, IE, I can not send to a remote host, and vice versa. I checked syslog and qmail does give a running message, but further down the file it returns errors that it is unable to find remote hosts. I am running a freebsd 2.2.2 box that is connected via ethernet to the internet. Qmail is the only thing that is having trouble with remote host location. All other network applications such as lynx are working smoothly. So. What could I possibley missing? Has anyone else experienced this? Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to include as much information as I could, so that I could get to the bottom of this soon. :) Thank you for any help and assistance. Sometimes with so much to read faqs, little install documents, one can get lost in the swarm of docs. I hope I am just missing something simple here. Thanks.

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 got some very good sugestions from all of you, I'm running into an new problem though...I took Ben Pepas advice and made a new port 50000, ok and I took a new look at my firewall rules everything looks right. There was an influx of questions like what version of freebsd am I running, so I'm reposting my origional problem. I am running 2.2.5-RELEASE I am running the new libexec natd came with this version of freebsd I have two ethernet cards fxp0 and ep0 I did compile IPDIVERT and IPFIREWALL into my kernel I run natd from the rc.firewall script before ipfw but after the divert socket is enabled. Problem : 1. Here is how my network looks. INSIDE | OUTSIDE | | | (192.168.1.1) STARGATE (206.206.121.42) (ep0) | (fxp0) Ok...I have natd running and from STARGATE I can ping inside and outside the network. A 192.168 machine can ping 192.168.1.1 and 206.206.121.42 but cannot ping beyond the external card. When I kick natd into verbose mode i get the following traslation table. 192.168.1.245 --> 206.206.121.10 aliases to 192.168.1.245 --> 206.206.121.10 It should read: 192.168.1.245 --> 206.206.121.10 aliased to 206.206.121.42 --> 206.206.121.10 ok I hope that makes some sense, I do not know what the heck is going on with natd and why it isn't aliasing the IP addresses correctly. Anyone else have a clue?? Thanks wildcard I am willing to call anyone, I don't care if they live in Guam, I really need someone to talk me through what is going on. -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQCNAzQ+Te4AAAEEAMOfXAPvy7YTmgOG+RtdddihcXnlSjuO8AqkaIoGM9rLvkRj XF0GY4zWlSFDR5QQU8agfyQ8YARl9ICxg8g64cm8Ejyhi87014mYcLx6j/Z4kgBp oyTCJLELjOb1mdmloMsNoiXoU7iYG8/Wnz9Hf9uCC0FE0S3A57JEJYo0aRu1AAUR tBh3aWxkY2FyZEBiZWxlbi5rMTIubm0udXM= =4A/3 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 6 16:44:37 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id QAA25577 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 6 Nov 1997 16:44:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mongoose.cs.unm.edu (mongoose.cs.unm.edu [198.59.151.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id QAA25572 for ; Thu, 6 Nov 1997 16:44:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from cfaehl@cs.unm.edu) Received: from enterprise.cs.unm.edu(really [198.59.151.20]) by mongoose.cs.unm.edu via smail with smtp id for ; Thu, 6 Nov 1997 17:44:28 -0700 (MST) (Smail-3.2 1996-Jul-4 #3 built 1997-Mar-7) Received: from avarice.cs.unm.edu(really [198.59.151.252]) by enterprise.cs.unm.edu via smail with esmtp id for ; Thu, 6 Nov 1997 17:44:27 -0700 (MST) (Smail-3.2 1996-Jul-4 #18 built 1997-Feb-28) Message-Id: X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0zeta 7/24/97 To: Doug White cc: Varshavchick Alexander , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 3C905 Ethernet card In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 06 Nov 1997 12:53:29 PST."

Ummm.... check the tip file ( I believe it's /etc/remote ) to make sure you'r using the right device file (cuaa0 for COM1:, cuaa1 for COM2:, etc.) Then make sure the modem isn't already dialed somewhere else, is connected to the phone line right, and isn't off-hook.

Could it be that you are missing the directories /usr/share/man/cat[1-9], or they are not writeable? When a new version of the system is installed, the contents of these directories are removed, and the first time you access a man page, it needs to be formatted with nroff. It then *tries* to save the formatted man page in the cat* hierarchy, but if it doesn't succeed, it won't complain, and it will reformat the man page every time. 20 seconds is still *very* slow.

If you intend to use FreeBSD in a single user environment then by all means customise it as you will, but as for setting this as a default setting I think it would be a real trap for inexperienced administrators, of which there are more and more, and I think that an experienced system administrator would hardly welcome yet another modification that had to be made to the default system to make it secure. Not that I'm an experienced system administrator or even think that FreeBSD is by default insecure but I'm sure that a lot of people install tcp_wrappers modify sendmail to avoid spam relay etc... The people at FreeBSD go to a lot of trouble to make sure that it is as safe as an "out-of-the-box" product can be and are hardly likely to take what would seem to many as a retrograde step. enough ranting for now :-) if you want it, do it, but don't expect it modified for the default system.

There are several things that you can do with sendmail. The first is have the sendmail daemon queue frequently, ie. more often than the timeout period of your ppp. The second is the option - DialDelay (first came in 8.7). This allows you to wait for the ppp link to come up before it attempts to send stuff out. That way, when sendmail tries to send out, and ppp starts up, it will wait for a given time period before it starts trying. The third is ETRN directive. This comes in on port 25 and makes sendmail immediately process the queue to the given machine. So when ppp comes up, you'd run a script something like this: #!/bin/sh telnet localhost 25 < Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id IAA07169 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 7 Nov 1997 08:12:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from cerberus.partsnow.com (gatekeeper.partsnow.com [207.155.26.98]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id IAA07135 for ; Fri, 7 Nov 1997 08:12:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from don@PartsNow.com) Received: (from bin@localhost) by cerberus.partsnow.com (8.8.5/8.6.9) id BAA10929; Fri, 7 Nov 1997 01:09:51 -0800 (PST) X-Authentication-Warning: cerberus.partsnow.com: bin set sender to using -f Received: from nouvelle(192.168.100.9) by cerberus.partsnow.com via smap (V2.0) id xma010924; Fri, 7 Nov 97 01:09:24 -0800 Message-ID: <34633CFB.40FC@PartsNow.com> Date: Fri, 07 Nov 1997 08:08:27 -0800 From: Don Wilde Reply-To: don@PartsNow.com Organization: Soligen, Incorporated X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0C-E-KIT (Win16; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "Matthew D.

Apparently, it works to run the SCO version on FreeBSD, but you first have to install it onto a SCO machine and then move the whole directory structure.

I previously had 4 DOS partitions on my computer, whereof one was a primary partition and the other logical units in an extended partition. In FreeBSDīs fdisk menu the logical partitions in the extended partition apparently are not recognised, so FreeBSD sees the extended partition "as a whole". Therefore I tried recreating the lost partitions by assigning the number 6 for DOS-file format to the newly created partitions. several "X":s turn up on screen to mark these DOS-partition, and the installation later fails with thee message "Max one DOS partition as child of whole". I tried to escape this problem by assigning these partitions as FreeBSD and Linux instead, go on with the installation, and then via OS/2īs fdisk change these FreeBSD and Linux partitions back to DOS format. OS/2īs fdisk was not allowed to modify these partitions! It could not delete them! I would like to have several DOS partitions on my computer, so is there a workaround for this problem?

FreeBSD is probing the device as zp0 when I boot up the operating system. When I run the ppp program, I can't seem to talk to the modem.

I will make this quick. I recently setup my own nameserver running bind 4.96 on a freebsd 2.2.2-r box. I am reading the o'reilly and associates book on dns and bind. All of my nameserver tests have gone flaulessly, IE, I can lookup names with nslookup both on my own network, as well as remotely. I have all my machines set to use my home made nameserver as the primary nameserver, and all nameserver routines appear to work. However, when I look in the /var/log/messages file, I am receiving syntax errors all over the place. These errors point to my db files, both db.domain and db.ip-number files. Now, qmail will not resolve remote names, but it will when I switch to my secondary nameserver, which is run by my isp. So. With all that said, I am lead to believe that there is indeed something incorrect with my syntax. I should explain that I am including my db.domain file, not to take up bandwidth and list space, but I could really use a pointer or two. I am blind, so I have all my books converted to ascii text format. It could very well be that this is a syntax error, and it is due to the way that the book is being presented to me on screen. BTW. I am using long names here, not short-cuts. The name of the file is: db.dcoisp and the domain is dcoisp.net. SHould I name the file, db.dcoisp.net? Thank you very much for any assistance.

The parent spends most of it's life waiting for this signal. The mechanism I have tried to use is to trap SIGUSR1 in the parent, then execute a wait() system call.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I cannot get the wait() call to interrupt. I had print routines that seem to indicate that the signal was caught, but the wait refuses to return to the parent until the child dies. I have narrowed the problem down to the smallest piece of code I could develope, and included it below. In the example below, I would expect to see: wait for child SIGUSR1 caught errno: 4 The last line indicates that an errno 4 (EINTR) was received.

FreeBSD is probing the device as zp0 when I boot up the operating system. When I run the ppp program, I can't seem to talk to the modem.

Congrats. :) If you are relying on your nameserver for something critical (like outside resolution) you should seriously consider upgrading to BIND 4.9.6 since it has much better protection against hostname spoofing, etc. The easiest way for you to do that would probably be to upgrade to FreeBSD 2.2.5, which comes with BIND 4.9.6 in the base system. However neither is something you would need to do tomorrow... just something to plan on. [snip] >However, when I look in the /var/log/messages file, I am receiving >syntax errors all over the place.

Ok, first off, if you are reporting error messages, please tell us what they are. :) I can guess at the one from your forward resolution file, but your PTR file didn't come through.

You could name it GeorgehasGreenHair and it wouldn't matter. :) Ok, here is a blow-by-blow for your zone file: dcoisp.net. IN SOA mail.dcoisp.net. 1 10800 3600 604800 86400 dcoisp.net. IN NS mail.dcoisp.net. ; here comes the hosts! localhost.dcoisp.net. IN A 127.0.0.1 bbs.dcoisp.net. IN A 208.128.192.226 mail.dcoisp.net. IN A 208.128.192.227 www.dcoisp.net.

It's a good idea to start with an origin statement, just so that your named doesn't get confused. Also, it doesn't cost you a thing to add a hostname for ns.dcoisp.net, and it looks a little more professional. You also need a zone contact in your SOA record. And you need parentheses to indicate that the SOA record is continuing on another line. Using the date, plus a counter at the end for your serial number will give you an integral accounting mechanism to keep track of changes. Finally, you can't have a cname for something that already has any other kind of record, which is at least one thing that you're getting syntax errors about. Here is how I'd set up the same zone: $ORIGIN dcoisp.net. @ IN SOA ns.dcoisp.net. ringlord.bbs.dcoisp.net.

I am Good thing you included it. More people should when asking questions like this :) There are two obvious errors plus some wierd formatting that may have come from your mailer. Both errors are in the SOA record. First, you are missing the contact mailing address, ginven a contact of hostmaster you want the start of the SOA to read dcoisp.net. IN SOA mail.dcoisp.net. hostmaster.mail.dcoisp.net. ( The mail contact plus that trailing left paren need to be added. The left paren starts the serial number, refresh etc.. section and are required for the record to span more than one line. Your complete SOA should look like dcoisp.net. IN SOA mail.dcoisp.net. hostmaster.mail.dcoisp.net. ( 1 10800 3600 604800 86400 ) Don't forget the closing paren after the minimum TTL :) You should also think about changing your serial number to YYYYMMDDXX format where the XX is replaced by a 2 digit serial number (leading 0 for 1-9). Forgetting to change the serial number is a common mistake and easier to catch if you use this numbering technique.

Sure. know the name of the webserver (prob www.concentric.net) then dial-up telnet www.concentric.net cd go to the web directory (probably either ~/www or ~/public_html) and edit the files with your editor of choice: vi, pico, emacs, whatever.

It is quite easy to boot FreeBSD from LILO. Here is an example lilo.conf file for my system that currently runs Windows 95, Linux, and FreeBSD. The root partitions for Linux and FreeBSD both reside on my IDE disk which is partitioned as follows: Partition Type OS Linux Device Name FreeBSD Device Name --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 VFAT Win 95 /dev/hda1 /dev/wd0s1 * 2 EXT2 Linux /dev/hda2 /dev/wd0s2 3. FFS FreeBSD /dev/hda3 /dev/wd0s3 4 EXT2 Linux /dev/hda4 /dev/wd0s4 Partition 2 (marked with the asterisk) is set active and LILO is installed there instead of the Master Boot Record. The lilo.conf file below presents me with a menu (contained in the lilo.msg file also below). I simply press the appropriate number and press return. If I do nothing, the first OS in the lilo.conf file is the default (in this case Linux 2.0.31). Anyhow, here is the lilo.conf file: -----------------------------Start of lilo.conf--------------------------- # LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section boot = /dev/hda2 # install on Linux root partition map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b message = /etc/lilo.msg # Display this file before the boot prompt prompt # wait for a keypress or until the timeout timeout = 300 # listed here expires (300 = 30 seconds) verbose = 3 vga = normal # force sane state ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.31 root = /dev/hda2 label = 2 read-only # mounted read-only for checking # Linux bootable partition config ends # DOS bootable partition config begins other = /dev/hda1 label = 1 table = /dev/hda # DOS bootable partition config ends # FreeBSD bootable partition config begins other = /dev/hda3 label = 3 table = /dev/hda # FreeBSD bootable partition config ends ---------------------------------End of lilo.conf------------------------ And Here is the lilo.msg file that is referenced in the global config section above that presents my little menu. The first character in the file is a Ctrl-L, which clears the screen. --------------------------------Start of lilo.msg------------------------ ^L LILO Operating System Boot Loader 1 - Windows 95 2 - Linux (2.0.31) 3 - FreeBSD (2.2.1) Defaults to Linux (2.0.31) in 30 seconds. ---------------------------------End of lilo.msg------------------------- The only other thing I had to do was to not install the boot loader during my FreeBSD installation. Once I had FreeBSD installed, I used fdisk to change the active partition from /dev/wd0s3 back to /dev/wd0s2.

But by then we would have (at > least) 64-bit machines :) Actually there are potential problems. The reason I say potential is that they are would effect custom software. The biggest problem comes from the use of localtime(). If a programmer uses the tm->year field from them tm structure, they are left with a value (year-1900). If a programmer uses that to display a 2 digit field, then in year 2000, a 100 will be returned. Depending on the formating options to printf() (or however) you could end up with a date that looks like: 1/1/100 or 1/1/10 If the programmers alwasy view time as elapsed seconds since 1/1/1970 then there wont be problems in comparisons, but the display and print issues are real. Also the "date" command may return the wrong year (I haven't poured over the source) on certian format options like %D, and %Y. Shell scripts which depend on date might have problems. FreeBSD it's self shouldn't have problems, but third party programs need to make sure they will be ok. As an example, we were developing a billing system and the programmers wanted to store dates as yy/mm/dd for sorting purposes. We nixed that in a hurry and mandated that they store things as elapsed seconds since 1/1/1970 so we wouldn't have a year 2000 problem. To these programmers, one an ex-database dude working on IBM mainfraims, doing dates as yy/mm/dd was just the natural thing to do. So we need to look at our software any way to see just what will happen.

I thought this included rereading the syslog.conf file. Here's the part of the syslogd(8) manpage that led me to believe this: Syslogd reads its configuration file when it starts up and whenever it receives a hangup signal. For information on the format of the configu- ration file, see syslog.conf(5). I've tested this on my FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE (5 Nov 1997) box as well as my FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE box and on both machines it appears that syslogd does _not_ reread syslog.conf on receipt of a HUP. The process must be killed and restarted. Is the manpage out of date, or is syslogd not doing its job? Sheldon.

I've run into problems where I've had to kill and restart syslogd to get it to acknowledge changes, but they were almost always related to changing the names of files that certain things were going to, or adding new files. Of course, you do realize that if you send logging data to a new file, you have to create it before syslog will write to it, yes?

It's kinda hard to actually install -STABLE until you have the system up and going, unless you use one of the releg22 releases. I'd say, install 2.2.5, and (assuming you have a internet connection, of course), use cvsup to get the source for 2.2-STALBE (which BTW is now 2.2.5-STABLE) and at least remake your kernel, if not world.

Better yet (IMHO), "chmod g+w /dev/[r]fd0*" and add the users that need floppy access to the group "operator". Or make a group "floppy" and change the group of the floppy devices and add the users to "floppy". Will mount work for non-root? I don't know. Personally prefer to use mtools from the ports collection for dealing with DOS floppies. Mtools does everything mounting might do but it won't allow you to run from data on the floppy. You have to copy it off the floppy first. A lot like tar. Still another option would be to master amd and let it mount the floppies for you. -- 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.

I cannot seem to get the OS to recognize it. Is there a kernel configuration line that I need? 2) Getting pccardd to see and configure my 3Com Etherlink III (3C589C). This supposedly ep0 (though if I'm not using pccardd I can build a kernel that recognizes it correctly as zp0). Again, is there a kernel configuration line that I need.?

I can get the modem to connect to my ISP (or at least get a 'CONNECT 115200' message from PPP and the modem lights indicate a connection), but when I tell the install program to go ahead, I get a "cannot resolve hostname...." error. My ISP uses PAP, so I am manually doing the following at the PPP cli: set authname xxxxxx set authkey xxxxxx enable pap accept pap I have also noticed that the install program doesn't seem to be setting the netmask properly in ppp (according to 'show ipcp'), so I have tried also doing: set ifaddr x.x.x.x/30 y.y.y.y/30 add 0 0 y.y.y.y The results are the same (i.e. connected, but no traffic). Using the show ipcp, show lcp, show proto commands all seem to indicate that absolutely no packets are being successfully passed. Is this a problem with ISDN and the setup program only? The mail archives seem to indicate that some people are using the Bitsurfer Pro successfully. If anyone has any suggestions or creative ideas, I would love to hear them :). Please copy me directly, as I am no longer subscribed to this list. Thanks in advance, Neil Jensen PS - I should point out that I can succesfully use the ISDN modem on one of my NT machines, so I'm pretty confident that I am using the correct gateway, DNS, address settings.
