Re-installing is _never_ an option. :) You need to read the RELNOTES, it has the installation instructions for X11. You find it, and all the relevant files @ ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/XF86331/. Hope this helps.

I found that not too much PCMCIA card FreeBSD is supporting (only the PCMCIA card from IBM and National SemiConductor is supported as from the 2.2.2 release note). Are all PCMCIA cards from IBM are supported? I want to check whether the model number 72H5433 from IBM is supported. May you help? Thanks a lot. Besides, the PCMCIA card I'm currently using is Xircom. How can I, by any method, use it for FreeBSD? Pls suggest. Thanks a lot. Regards, Kelvin.

The problem, as I'm sure several people can guess, is that I can't get the kernel to detect my internal modem. Currently it is on sio1(COM2), IRQ 3. It works well with Win95 (well, as well as things run under windows)), but during the hardware search of the FreeBSD installation- kernel, it does not detect anything where the modem is. No matter where I move it to, no matter what the IRQ, it still doesn't find it. Any other serial ports are fine. Now, I know this is a some-what common problem. I've searched and searched through the FAQ, handbook, mail archives, etc, and found many messages _asking_ this question, but no messages _answering_ it. If anyone has an idea how to fix it, I'd love to hear.

I still don't believe it either, but after ignoring this letter at least six times, I asked myself, "What the heck?"... .and BLAMMO!!! No more bills!!! I was even able to rebuild my depleted retirement funds!!! Freedom!!! It's wonderful! Don't postpone it like I did...just see for yourself! Fredrick Balch, Clearwater, Florida ************************************************************************ You are about to make at least $50,000 in less than 90 days. Read the enclosed program: THEN READ IT AGAIN! The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it. My name is Chris Eckerson. Two years ago, the corporation where I had worked twelve years down-sized and my position was eliminated. After unproductive job interviews, I decided to open my own business. Over the past years, I encountered many unforeseen financial problems. I owed my family, friends, and creditors over $35,000. The economy was taking a toll on my business and I just couldn't seem to make ends meet. I had to refinance and borrow against my home to support my family and struggling business. I truly believe it was wrong for me to be in debt like this. AT THAT MOMENT something significant happened in my life and I am writing to share my experience in hopes that this will change your life financially......FOREVER! In mid-March, I received this program via email. For six months (prior to receiving this program) I had been sending away for information on various business opportunities but the programs I received were not, in my opinion, cost effective. They were either too difficult for me to comprehend or the initial investment was too much of a risk to see if they worked or not. One claimed I'd make a million dollars in one year...it didn't tell me I'd have to write a book to make it. So, as I was saying, in March I received this program. I didn't send for it nor ask for it, they just got my name off a mailing list. THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT! After reading it several times to make sure I was reading it correctly, I couldn't believe my eyes. Here was a MONEY- MAKING PHENOMENON. I could invest as much as I wanted to start, without putting myself further in debt. After I got a pencil and figured it out, I knew that in the WORST possible case I would still get my money back. After determining that the program is LEGAL and NOT A CHAIN LETTER, I decided.....why not? Initially, I sent out 100,000 e-mails. It cost me about $15.00 for my time on-line. The great thing about e-mail is that I didn't need any money for printing to send out the program, only the cost to fill my orders. I am telling you like it is and I hope it doesn't turn you off, but I promised myself that I would not "rip anyone off" no matter how much money it cost me! In less than one week, I started to receive orders for REPORT #1. By April 13th, I had received 26 orders for REPORT #1. When you read the GUARANTEE in the program, you will see that "YOU MUST RECEIVE 15 TO 20 ORDERS FOR REPORT #1 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF YOU DON'T, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO! My first step in making $50,000 in 20 to 90 days was done. By April 30th, I had received 196 orders for REPORT #2. If you go back to the GUARANTEE, "YOU MUST RECEIVE 100 OR MORE ORDERS FOR REPORT #2 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF NOT, SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO." Once you have 100 orders, THE REST IS EASY! Relax, YOU WILL MAKE YOUR $50,000 GOAL." Well, I had 196 orders for REPORT #2: 96 more than I needed! So I sat back and relaxed.... By March 19th, I had received $58,000 with more coming in everyday! I paid off ALL my debts and bought a much needed new car. PLEASE! Take time to read the attached program; IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER! Remember, it won't work if you don't try it. This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rules of not trying to place your name in a different place. It doesn't work and you'll lose out on a lot of money. REPORT #2 explains this. Always follow the guarantee of 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1, and 100 or more orders for REPORT #2 and you will make $50,000 or more in 20 to 90 days. I AM LIVING PROOF THAT IT WORKS! If you choose not to participate in this program, I'm sorry. It really is great opportunity with little cost or risk to you. If you choose to participate, follow the program and you will be on your way to financial security. If you are a fellow business owner and you are in financial trouble like I was, or if you want to start your own business, consider this a sign. I DID! Sincerely, Chris Eckerson P.S. Do you have any idea what 11,700 $5 bills ($58,500) looks like piled up on a kitchen table? IT'S AWESOME! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "THREW IT AWAY" "I received this program before . I threw it away, but later wondered if I shouldn't have given it a try. Of course I had no idea who to contact to get a copy so I had to wait until I was e-mailed another copy of the program. Eleven months passed before it came. I DIDN'T throw this one away and I made $41,000 on the first try. Dawn W., Evansville, IN ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "NO FREE LUNCH" "My late father always told me, "Remember Alan, there is no free lunch in life. You get out of life what you put into it. ' Through trial and error and a somewhat slow and frustrating start, I finally figured it out. The program works very well, I just had to find the right target group of people to e-mail it to. So far this year, I have made over $63,000 using this program. I know my dad would have been very proud of me." Alan B., Philadelphia, PA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM. By the time you've read the enclosed information and looked over the program and reports, you should have concluded that such a program...and one that is legal, could have been created by an amateur. Let me tell a little about myself. I had a profitable business for ten years. Then in 1979 my business began falling off. I was doing the same things that were previously successful for me, but it wasn't working. Finally, I figured it out. It wasn't me, it was the economy. Inflation and recession had replaced the stable economy that had been with us since 1945. I don't have to tell you what happened to the unemployment rate....many of you know from first hand experience. There were more failures and bankruptcies than ever before. The middle class was vanishing. Those who knew what they were doing invested wisely and moved up. Those who did not, including those who never had anything to save or invest, were moving down the ranks of the poor. As the saying goes, "THE RICH GET RICHER AND POOR GET POORER". The traditional methods of making money will never allow you to "move up" or "get rich". Inflation will see to that. You have just received information that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life. With no risk and just a little bit of effort you can make more money in the next few months than you have ever imagined. Let me also point out that I will not see a penny of your money, nor anyone else who has provided a testimonial for this program. I have already made over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS! I have retired from the program after sending out over 16,000 programs. Now I have several offices which market this and several other programs here in the U.S. and overseas. By early spring, we hope to be marketing the internet via a partnership with America On Line. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do not change it in anyway; it works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to e-mail a copy of this exciting program to everyone that you can think of. One of the people you send this to may send out 50,000 and your name will be on everyone of them! Remember, the more you send out, the more potential customers you will reach. So, my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent. NOW IT IS UP TO YOU! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "THINK ABOUT IT" Before you delete this program from your mailbox, as I almost did, take a little time to read it and THINK ABOUT IT. Get a pencil and figure out what could happen when YOU participate. Figure out the worst possible response and no matter how you calculate, you will still make a lot of money! You'll definitely get back what you invested. Any doubts you have will vanish when your first orders come in. IT WORKS! Paul Johnson, Raleigh, NC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PROGRAM WILL MAKE YOU MONEY Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we'll assume you and all those involved send out 2,000 programs each. Let's also assume that the mailing receives a .5% response. Using a good list the response could be much better. Also many people will send out hundreds of thousands of programs instead of 2,000. To continue with this example, you've sent out 2,000 programs; with a .5% response that is only 10 orders for report #1. Those 10 people respond by sending out 2,000 programs each for a total of 20,000. One half of one percent (.5%, or 100 people) respond and order REPORT #2. Those 100 mail out 2,000 programs each for a total of 200,000. The 5% response to that is 1,000 orders for REPORT #3. Finally, those 1,000 send out 2,000 programs each for a 2,000,000 total. The .5% response to that is 10,000 orders for REPORT #4. That's 10,000 five dollar bills for you....CASH! Your total income in this example is $50 + $500 + $5000 + $50,000 for a total of $55,550! REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING 1,990 OUT OF 2,000 PEOPLE YOU MAIL TO WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND TRASH THIS PROGRAM! DARE TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYONE OR EVEN JUST HALF SENT OUT 100,000 PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF ONLY 2,000? Believe me, many people will do that and more! By the way, your cost to participate in this was practically nothing. You obviously already have an Internet connection and e-mail is FREE! REPORT #3 will show you the best methods for bulk e-mailing and purchasing e-mail lists. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY. It does not require you to come into contact with people, do any hard work, and best of all you never have to leave the house except to get the mail. If you believe that someday you'll get the big break that you've been waiting for THIS IS IT! Simply follow the instructions and your dreams will come true. This multi-level e-mail order marketing program works perfectly 100% EVERY TIME. E-mail is the sales tool of the future. Take advantage of this non-commercialized method of advertising NOW!. The longer you wait, the more people will be doing business using e-mail. Get your piece of this action! MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) has finally gained respectability. It is being taught in the Harvard Business School, and both Stanford Research and The Wall Street Journal have stated that between 50% and 60% of all goods and services will be sold through multi-level methods by the mid to late 1990's. This is Multi-Billion Dollar industry and of the 500,000 millionaires in the U.S., 20% (100,000) made their fortune in the last several years in MLM's. Moreover, statistics show 45 people become millionaires everyday through Multi-Level Marketing. INSTRUCTIONS We at OptiFund have a method of raising capitol that REALLY WORKS 100% EVERY TIME. I am sure that you could use $50,000 to $125,000 in the next 20 to 90 days. Before you say "BULL", please read the program carefully. This is not a chain letter, but a perfectly legal money making opportunity. Basically, this is what we do: As with all multi-level business, we build our business by recruiting new partners and selling our products. Every state in the USA allows you to recruit new multi- level business partners, and we offer a product for EVERY dollar sent. ORDERS ARE PLACED AND FILLED THROUGH THE MAIL, so you are not involved in personal selling. You do it privately, in your own home, store or office. This is the GREATEST Multi-Level Mail Order Marketing anywhere: STEP 1: Order all 4 REPORTS listed by NAME AND NUMBER. Do this by ordering the REPORT from each of the four names listed on the next page. For each REPORT, send $5 CASH, (US DOLLAR) and a SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED envelope (Business size #10) to the person listed for the SPECIFIC REPORT. Print the 4 report sections and simply clip & INCLUDE the printed clip with the appropriate order. (no mix-ups that way) International orders should also include $1 extra for postage. It is essential that you specify the NAME and NUMBER of the report requested to the person you are ordering from. You will need ALL FOUR REPORTS because you will be REPRINTING and RESELLING them. DO NOT alter the names or sequence other than what the instructions say. **IMPORTANT! Always provide same-day service on all orders!** STEP 2: Replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with yours, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. Drop the name and address under REPORT #2 to REPORT #3, moving that one that was under there to REPORT #4. The name and address that were under REPORT #4 is dropped from the list and this party is no doubt on the way to the bank. When doing this, make certain you type the NAMES AND ADDRESSES CORRECTLY! DO NOT MIX UP or MOVE PRODUCT/REPORT POSITIONS! STEP 3: Having made the required changes in the NAME list, save it as a text ( .txt ) file in its own directory to be used with what ever e-mail program you like. Again, REPORT #3 will tell you the best methods of bulk e-mailing and acquiring email lists. STEP 4: E-mail a copy of the entire program (all of this is very important) to everyone whose address you can get your hands on. Start with friends and relatives since you can encourage them to take advantage of this fabulous money-making opportunity. (That's what I did and they love me more now than ever). STEP 5: E-mail to anybody and everyone! Use your imagination! You can get e-mail addresses from companies on the Internet who specialize in e- mail mailing lists. These are very cheap, 100,000 addresses for around $35 dollars. IMPORTANT: You wont get a good response if you use an old list, so always request a FRESH, NEW list. You will find out where to purchase these lists when you order the third REPORT. STEP 6: ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ALL ORDERS! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ REQUIRED REPORTS ***ORDER each REPORT by NUMBER and NAME*** ALWAYS SEND SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE AND $5 CASH FOR EACH ORDER. Print the following 4 report sections and simply clip & INCLUDE each clip with the appropriate order. (no mix-ups that way) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ REPORT #1 "HOW TO MAKE $250,000 THROUGH MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: OptiFund POBox 66358 St. Pete Beach, FL 33736 USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REPORT #2 "MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND MULTI-LEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: K C Lambeth 115-1 WILLOW TRACE CLEMMONS NC 27012-8815 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ REPORT #3 "SOURCES FOR THE BEST MAILING LISTS" ORDER REPORT #3 FROM: KD Conrad 73 LINCOLN AVE STAMFORD CT 06902-4102 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ REPORT #4 "EVALUATING MULTI-LEVEL SALES PLANS" ORDER REPORT #4 FROM: BWR377 POBOX 15552 WINSTON SALEM NC 27113-0552 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ REMEMBER: ALWAYS SEND SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE AND $5 CASH FOR EACH ORDER. Print the above 4 report sections and simply clip & INCLUDE each clip with the appropriate order. (no mix-ups that way) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONCLUSION I am enjoying the fortune that I have made by sending out this program. You too will be making money in 20 to 90 days if you follow the SIMPLE STEPS outlined in this mailing. To be financially independent is to be FREE. Free to make financial decisions as never before. Go into business, get into investments, retire or take a vacation. A lack of money hold you back. Very few people reach financial independence however, because when opportunity knocks, they choose to ignore it. It is much easier to say "NO" than "YES", and this is the question that you must answer. Will YOU ignore this amazing opportunity or will you take advantage of it? If you do nothing, you have indeed missed something and nothing will change. Please re-read this material! This is a special opportunity. If you have any questions, please feel free to write to the sender of this information. You will get a prompt and informative reply. My method is simple. I sell thousands of people a product for $5 that cost me pennies to produce and e-mail. I should also point out that this program is legal and everyone who participates WILL make money. This is not a chain letter or pyramid scam. At times you have probably received chain letters, asking to send money on faith, but getting NOTHING in return, NO product whatsoever! Not only are chain letters illegal, but the risk of someone breaking the chain makes them quite unattractive. You are offering a legitimate product to your people. After they purchase the products from you, they reproduce and resell them. It's simple free enterprise. As you learned from the enclosed material, the PRODUCT is a series of four FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS REPORTS. The information contained in these REPORTS will not only help you in making your participation in this program more rewarding, but will be useful to you in any other business decision you make in the years ahead. You are also buying the rights to reprint all of the REPORT, which will be ordered from you by those to whom you mail this program. The concise one and two page REPORTS you are buying can easily be reproduced at a local copy center for a cost of about 3 cents a copy. Best wishes with program and good luck! "Not being a gambling type, it took me several weeks to make my mind to participate in this program. But conservative as I am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that there was no way that I could not get enough orders to at least get my money back. BOY, was I ever surprised when I found my medium size post office box crammed with orders! I will make more money this year than any ten years of my life." Mary Riceland, Lancing, MI ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TIPS FOR SUCCESS Send for your four REPORTS immediately so you will have them when the orders start coming in. When you receive a $5 order, you MUST send out the product/service to comply with US POSTAL and LOTTERY laws. Title 18 Sections 1302 and 1341 specifically state that: "A PRODUCT OR SERVICE MUST BE EXCHANGED FOR MONEY RECEIVED." WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE REPORTS TO ARRIVE: 1. Name your new company. You can use your own name if you desire. 2. Get a post office box (preferred). 3. Edit the names and addresses on the program. Remember, your name and Address go next to report #1 and the others all move down one, with the Fourth one being bumped off the list. 4. Obtain as many e-mail addresses as possible to send until you receive The information on mailing list companies in report #3. 5. Decide 0n the number of programs you intend to send out. The more you Send out & the quicker you send them, the more money you will make. 6. After mailing the programs, get ready to fill the orders. Copy the Four reports so you can send them out as soon as you receive an order. Important: always provide same-day service on orders you receive! 7. Make sure the letters & reports are neat and legible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ YOUR GUARANTEE The check point which GUARANTEES your success is simply this: You must receive 15 to 20 orders for REPORT #1. This is a must! If you don't within two weeks, e-mail out more programs until you do. Then, a couple of weeks later you should receive at least 100 orders for report #2. If you don't, send out more programs until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for REPORT #2 (Take a deep breath) you can sit back and relax, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE AT LEAST $50,000. Mathematically it is a proven guarantee. Of those who have participated in the program and reached the above GOALS, ALL have reached their $50,000 GUARANTEE. Also remember, every time your name is moved down the list you are in front of a different REPORT, so you can keep track of your program by knowing what people are ordering from you. IT'S THAT EASY! REALLY! REMEMBER: "HE WHO DARES NOTHING, NEED NOT HOPE FOR ANYTHING" "INVEST A LITTLE TIME, ENERGY, AND MONEY NOW OR SEARCH FOR IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE."

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.

I tried installing from ports once and I would never ever recommend it to anyone unless they want to play with the source. The sources are something in the range of 30MB and compiling them takes an eternity. Although my computer is only 130Mhz with 48MB of ram the compilation was taking what seemed to be an eternity. I think installing from the "custom" install or downloading binaries are the two best options.

Hi Doug, Knowing and believing are two different things. That's about the only I learned in Sunday school. Although I knew this to be the case, I didn't apply what I knew when I was testing the "problem". I've just tried touching the new file I wish to log to _before_ sending a HUP and it works great.

But don't forget that the client machines on the ethernet need to know about how to send packets to box2. If they only have your default router configured (probable), then you need to tell the router how to send packets to box2 on behalf of the client machines. You can do this by running routed or gated (see the man pages) on box1 - to have routing information broadcast automatically. Or you can configure a static route (prefered here I think) on your router, which points to box1 as the router to box2. How you do that depends on the router.

I just did an upgrade the other day. Went rather smoothly. You should probably save a copy of /etc somewhere, but otherwise upgrade was the smoothest I have ever seen with FreeBSD (since 2.1.0R), thanks guys! If you're worried about disk space, nuke off your old /usr/src (if you have it).

If I press Alt-F2 or Alt-F3, the control character arn't "caught" by the OS and get passed to the shell which just spits back a message saying command not found. I don't have this problem with my other FreeBSD machine with the same version of the OS. I don't think its a keyboard problem because I also have Win95 on the same machine and Alt keys seem to work fine. Any ideas what the problem could be?

The number of ported apps is relatively large; I have the developer's suite of tools (i.e., the larger suite) installed on an NT box at work. Almost all the UNIX tools I commonly use are available, and they work well enough. The Cygnus GNU-Win32 page (`http://www.cygnus.com/gnu-win32/', I believe) has instructions on how to download the stuff. The page also contains pointers to other pages with ported apps; the "Virtual UNIX" link is a good one.

That said. It still may not work for you. Atapi is very problematic, and 2.1.5 is very very very old now. There are at least (by my count) 6 releases since 2.1.5. At least go to 2.1.7.1. But 2.2.5 is probably a better choice. > I've also searched your ftp site. I can't seem to find it still.

You didn't specify the version, but the problem is with recent 2.2 code (from about August and later). It has to do with login.conf. The mfs daemon runs under login class "daemon", which, by default, has a datasize limit of 32MB. Increase the limits to something more reasonable, or patch the mfs code to disregard the limits when running as root.

Both the book and the CD are ancient, but not to the same extent :-) The book describes 2.1.0R. Starting with 2.1.5R, the functionality of atapi.flp was merged into the standard boot.flp, so you use the same boot floppy whether or not you have an ATAPI CD. Anyway, 2.1.5R is very old too, and you should probably consider a newer version for fresh installations. > > I've also searched your ftp site. I can't seem to find it still.

This works fine, after I start ppp on the BSD side, any IP requests from BSD or from 95 go through BSD and then to the ISP.. The only problem I have is that once the ppp link is established (immediately after..) the BSD machine will no longer accept telnet or ftp connections... Is this a prob with getty or something?

I added teh following to the freebsd.mc sendmail config file (in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf). It disables relaying, and also refuses mail from sites that are on Paul Vixie's Realtime Blackhole List. /etc/sendmail.cR has a list of machines that are allowed to relay -- machines for which I serve as a mail host, for example. You should also have something like FM-o /etc/sendmail.mxhosts with a list of machiens for which you supply MX service, but I haven't verified that. Sorry. (I barely understand sendmail ;).)

(fwd) 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 My current configuration is as follows: A BSD box with an ethernet card and a modem several win 95 machines with ethernet cards.. I have my BSD box set up so when I start ppp and connect to my ISP, it will act as a gateway for the 95 machines.. This works fine, after I start ppp on the BSD side, any IP requests from BSD or from 95 go through BSD and then to the ISP.. The only problem I have is that once the ppp link is established (immediately after..) the BSD machine will no longer accept telnet or ftp connections... Is this a prob with getty or something? Then once the ppp connection goes down, the BSD box gladly accepts telnet and ftp connections.. Does anyone have any info on this one? This would be greatly appreciated. _L.

I'm using natd and just recently played with the port_redirect option. It's fairly amazing. I did however find that with the 2.2.2-REL kernel I had problems of the kernel crashing when I used natd. It caused a page fault, but after upgrading the kernel to a releng after that it seemed to work fine.

Since our last administrator refused to part with his login password etc, we have formatted the HD and are attempting to install new hardware in the machine. Unfortunately, we cannot seem to boot the machine any longer. I realize that FreeBSD uses "unique" boot MBRs. How do I completely uninstall it? I have unplugged all extra cards in our server, unplugged the hard drive and only the FDD remains. I have attempted to clear the CMOS, but the system still refuses to boot past the system config screen. Is this a hardware problem or did FreeBSD encode the Bios to look at a different MBR in the FDD too? Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks.

Im not certain on freebsd - but know with linux I had to do a low level format on the drive to wipe the left over boot junk. Will you be putting freebsd back on it? In that case why bother to wipe any further? If you did do a low level and this is happening then something else is wrong with that machine.

There is also a sample natd configuration file that configures the firewall rules and then starts natd. This is a very good help as well. With the version just go with 2.2.5-RELEASE and you shouldn't see any page faults caused by natd.

Hmmm. funny no one here has used the 10/100 pcmcia 3Com card... Is there a driver for 10/100 3COM PCI cards? If there is, perhaps the pcmcia driver is similar to that beast. The 10/100 pcmcia "demo" ethernet cards just look so cheap (well reseller price anyway).

I'm currently setting up a FreeBSD fileserver in a mixed environment - most of the clients will be FreeBSD machines, but there will also be a few NetBSD-1.2(sparc) machines, as well as a couple Digital Unix 3.2G machines.. The DEC Unix machine in particular I know only does NFS v2. Will the FreeBSD server be able to simulaneosly serve to v2 and v3 clients? On a related note, does the FreeBSD NFS server default to version 3 over TCP if started with the -t -u flags? Obviously, I want the FreeBSD machine to mount with v3 over TCP, whereas the DEC Unix machine will be v2 over UDP.. I'm pretty sure this will work out fine, I guess I'm looking for any tips from people out there using NFS.. :-) Also, I'm planning on using NIS for distributed user authentication. Does FreeBSD do NIS+ yet?? The thought of destroying the shadowed passwd database with normal NIS irks me, even though this network will be inside a firewall. Kerberos is looking like an option, the only problem is that I need to sync the user info from the main file server over to the mail server.. arghh... :-) If I understand it correctly, Kerberos won't let me do this, since it's merely a one-way ticket (which is perfect for all the clients, just not for syncing users to the mail machine). Perhaps I'll just look into some way of running a cron job which will copy the pasword file across a SSH session, and update /var/mail ?

I'll try to make this brief... I'm using the boot floppy to install the program, I get to the Kernel configuration part (and I know nothing about UNIX-like OS's so I choose the Visual mode configuration) I try to choose the devices that I have attached to my system, although that part of the configuration seems not to matter to my problem, well, anyway when I'm done with that I continue It throws a lot of jibberish on the screen (which, thru extensive reading, I'm begining to understand) I see information about my NIC and my HDD's floppy drive, ETC... Then I see a line that says something about switching root device to Fd0c(which I assume to be the floppy drive), then it says PANIC: Double Fault Syncing Disks... What's the problem, when I try to run the install program under DOS directly off the CD it says something like npx0: INT 16 Interface PANIC: Double Fault Syncing Disks... This is as far as I can get... I have tried changing my hardware configuration and I think I have narrowed the problem to my MLB but its brand new, and the only one I have that will work for my purposses, but when I change the MLB and Processor things work fine (except for the fact that I can't get it to see my CD-ROM, but that another headache!)any help you can give would be great!!

Basically I want to make a CD-R from your FTP. How should I make the CD? Which directories I should choose (I want to make FULL FreeBSD install). Longer explanation: I am a system administrator in a ISP (MasterSoft in Estonia). I'm currently using NT 4 Server as a primary password verification server for Bay Networks ANNEX'es, and FreeBSD as a email-server and WWW-server (Apache). Now because I changed to FreeBSD (from MS Exchange) rather receantly I have very little experience with FreeBSD. I have used UNIX before (I have also a SUN UltraSPARC runnning Solaris), so I am not totally in the dark. But still I would need some rehearsing. I do NOT want to rehersal with server (obviosly), so I am going to use another computer in my home. Unfortunately my home Internet link is 33.6 modem... so installing over modem would be a bad idea. I also have (somewhere...) the CD's that came with Walnut Creek FreeBSD book, but I do not know where they are at the moment... And also I will get the latest version by downloading straight from the Internet. So to install latest FreeBSD I need to make installation CD-ROM's (I have CD writer, so theres no problem). I downloaded the full 2.2.5-RELEASE folder, but it was way beyond one CD (probably because of ports...). So how should I make the CD's: which folders on primary, which on next CD's?

Has anybody done this? Can anyone > tell me how to do this? 1) Configure `TCP/IP Print Server' on your Netport XL and assign different ip addresses to each printer you wish to print to. 2) Describe remote printer in your /etc/printcap file. I use this one to print on Epson DFX-8000 connected to lpt1 of Netport XL: *************************************************************************** * dfx|Epson DFX-8000:\ * * :rm=dfx.netport1:sd=/var/spool/output/dfx:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ * * :rp=TEXT:sf:sb: * *************************************************************************** rm - is the machine name for remote printer. You can specify either ip address or hostname here. In my case I use `dfx.netport1' - the ip address assigned to my Epson DFX-8000. rp - is the remote printer name. As stated in the `Netport Express XL & EL Print Servers Release Notes for Version 3.20' (file readme.wri) it should be TEXT for text jobs and PASSTHRU for binary data. This is important. If you didn't specify a correct remote printer name then netport will refuse to print. Regards, -- Ruslan A.

Just an hour before, I discovered that the account of mine is in bad group, the group id was 1001, the same as the userid, but there's no group with such an id. Original I intended to create it with id 1000, which is the 'other' group's id on my machine. So I corrected the problem in /etc/passwd with 'vipw' and now I can't change my password, except if I log in as root. What can be the problem?

I have to hit return to finish the boot. The other system boots cleanly. I can't find anything in the configuration menu which says to turn the damn thing off! The system is completely configured, runs like a top, and yet .. I can't boot hands off. If I shutdown -r now, and come back ten minutes later, it's sitting there in that silly menu offering me three choices, the first of which gets the boot rolling. sysctl -a didn't have anything which looked suggestive, and the handbook doesn't come close, and I can't frankly think of anywhere else to look. I find kernel code heavy sledding, but I'll try to find out if I can, just how the various boot bits connect together. But I could use a pointer.

Both systems exhibit the same problem. Problem: I have Epson DFX-5000 printers connected to each system via comm port 0 (sio0). I had set flow control on via the stty command (stty -f /dev/ttyd0 ixon ixoff ixany) Doing a stty -ef /dev/ttyd0 would display that the flags were indeed turned on, and everything was fine. However I rebooted both systems and now flow control to the printers is gone and I'm unable to change it with the stty command again. At one point I did actually change the bits after I changed the file permissions on /dev/ttyd0, (see attached console log) but they kept getting reset, and then finally I could no longer set the controls on. I have also tried using the TANDEM bit in the /etc/printcap (see attached) but this doesn't help either. Prior to the reboot I was not using the TANDEM bit, just the stty commands. I've consulted the documentation, Handbook sections 7.4, and still no go. Do you have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong or should be doing instead? Thanks ahead of time for any advise you may have on this.

I bought the FreeBSD 3.0 October 6, 1997 Snapshot CD from WC, but I was not able to install it... It seems that the ATAPI CD-ROM support is broken. I tried the floppy method and the direct install.bat method, both of them boots and presents the install options screen... but when I try to select CDROM as the media to use, it complains that no CD-ROM drive is installed. I'm not even able to see if the drive was found during the probe, 'cause it is not possible to see the boot log... Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Victor Carranza P.S. My machine is an IBM Aptiva.

Your backup strategy should follow how important the machine is. for example, if it's a mission-critical box, you should certainly back it up frequently, while your personal workstation could lag a bit (mine has..it could use it's first backup). If you need to buy a backup solution, see if you can run amanda on a machine with a tape drive or buy a SCSi tape drive for the box. > 2) Now If I want to change my IP then do i use sysinstall utility > or there is something other like in DEC OSF / netsetup. > etc. You can use sysconfig or just edit /etc/rc.conf directly and modify the ifconfig_ed0 line.

I backed up my /var/home directory as well as /etc. My question is this... If I restore the tarred files I made for /home and /etc, I know I will get the home directories and group pid and uid's back, but what about mail? I didn't backup /var/mail. Will that cause me problems. As I have about 50 users on this machine, I don't want to create confusion, so would I be better off to just add all users again so that the accounts are created with the proper mail files, or will restoring /var/home fix that for me?

Thanks for any help. > > ... doug Well, alot of it comes from experience I suppose. Take note of what devices are found when you machine boots, e.g. sd0, sd1, wd0, fd0, etc. You can find out what type of devices these are by looking at the man pages in section 4, the device driver section. e.g. "man 4 sd". The pages often describe the expected naming scheme for various devices. You can also look at the /dev/MAKDEV script to see what devices can be made using default names. Note that disks have lot of device files associated with them. There is one block and one raw device node for each disk, as well as another pair for each disk partition. You can find out more about expected usage of various disk partiton names in the diskpart(8) manpage.

I'm writing this at 3:07pm on 11 November, so I would set the date with: date 9711111507 for example. If you have a working network connection (even a modem) on the machine, it is probably easier and more accurate to set the clock from another machine running NTP: ntpdate clock.psu.edu ("clock.psu.edu" is a perfectly good example; your ISP, company, or whatnot may have its own that you can use). Both methods must be done as root; you obviously don't want just anyone changing the date on you.

Cmdr install Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk OK. I thought I'd try installing System Commander, with all it's cool booting features to use with the multiple OSes on one of my machines. Unfortunately, not only did it write a new MBR on my C: IDE drive (bios 80), but it looks like it trashed my D: SCSI drive (bios 81). My system is backed up to tape, but I'm not sure it's good. Before I shot myself in both feet, I had the FreeBSD (or whomever's) BootEasy installed. This allowed me to boot the system and press F5 for disk 2, and then F1 on disk2 for FreeBSD. I then booted with 1:sd(0,a)/kernel. Unfortunately, in installing the CD-ROM for 2.2.2, I couldn't seem to get the system to boot with just my AHA1542CF and 3.2GB SCSI drive, dedicated to FreeBSD. Now, I think it was some combination of using a Promise EIDE controller for the 1.6GB IDE drive which has other things on it, and possibly have >1GB translation turned on in the 1542CF bios. I may have also not learned the 1:sd(0,a) trick at that point in time, so the only way I could get FreeBSD to boot without a "Geometrical Panic (Euclidean?)" was to dedicate the ENTIRE disk to FreeBSD, since that was all I'd be running on it anyway. I also chose the install option of ENTIRE disk, with no later compatibility for other operating systems. If I understand this correctly, sector 0 would solely contain the FreeBSD "MBR" with no standard partition table that would point partition 0 to the FreeBSD MBR, superblock, etc. In other words, no standard partition table and the FreeBSD system (/ in my case) starts at sector 0. Anything installing an standard MBR/partition table would write over this and corrupt the system. When I now try to boot the FreeBSD system, it complains about a bad superblock and dies a horrible, lingering death. Before the tragedy, I'd CVSUPed the system up to whatever level RELENG_2.2 is (from 2.2-STABLE to ~2.2.6?) at the end of October. I've tried booting from the 2.2.2 install CD-ROM and/or the FIXIT disk and tried to either mount /dev/sd0s1a or fsck it, with no luck. It just complains about the nasty, retched not-so-superblock and thumbs it's nose at me. Would someone be kind enough to suggest some viable recover options? Is there a backup superblock that I can dd? Is the superblock in sector 0 (I'm assuming that is what's trashed) or sector 1 or? Could some combination of fdisk and disklabel correct the problem (without doing a newfs)if I can remember how I carved up the disk? Any thoughts, help, comments, commentaries on how stupid I am will be cheerfully accepted.

I have a problem with the Linux emulation; I am running 2.2.5-STABLE at CTM #501 and the COMPAT_LINUX option compiled into the kernel (bit of leftover from my 2.1.7 system). (2.1.7 means that I _once_ _ran_ 2.1.7 but reompiled virtually everything except Netscape... to 2.2.5.) I tried to install the linux_lib 2.4, and it tries to run the Linux ldconfig (ldconfig, I think) at the end of the make install process. When it tries to do this, it says "ELF: binary type not known, signal 6: ignored". The make install completes OK, though. Then I took the Linux StarOffice-3.1 rpm's from one PD CD that I've got, so I had to install the Linux Red Hat package manager that came with its own cpio for usage on older Linux systems. Of course, the first thing I got was "ELF: binary type not known". I take it there must be an error somewhere in my system because everybody is really praising the Linux emulation and on my system it doesn't even run ldconfig and cpio. This happens with or without the "linux" option enabled in rc.conf. What's wrong?

To run from a different port, you'd need to, under ircu 2.10, change the #define PORTNUM 6667, to something else, or edit your ircd.conf file, to add another port, however either way, 194 is a reserved port, and you'd need to run ircd as root, which isn't a good idea any way you put it. > I've gone through all the documentation that I have an everything looks > fine.

Nothing, you _can't_ run ircd from inetd, even if you could, it would be a bad idea. - alex From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Nov 11 16:05:33 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id QAA05999 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 11 Nov 1997 16:05:33 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from lint.cisco.com (lint.cisco.com [171.68.223.44]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id QAA05991 for ; Tue, 11 Nov 1997 16:05:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from narana@cisco.com) Received: from nkannapp-ss20.cisco.com (nkannapp-ss20.cisco.com [171.69.194.242]) by lint.cisco.com (8.8.5/CISCO.SERVER.1.2) with ESMTP id QAA27829 for ; Tue, 11 Nov 1997 16:04:53 -0800 (PST) Received: (narana@localhost) by nkannapp-ss20.cisco.com (8.8.4-Cisco.1/CISCO.WS.1.2) id QAA18167; Tue, 11 Nov 1997 16:04:52 -0800 (PST) Date: Tue, 11 Nov 1997 16:04:52 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199711120004.QAA18167@nkannapp-ss20.cisco.com> From: Narana Kannappan MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: problems in 2.2.2 X-Mailer: VM 6.22 under 19.15p7 XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I keep loosing network connectivity in 2.2.2. I installed it using the Walnut Creek CD rom that I purchased. Let me explain further, I have a 3com 10/100 card connected to my office via an Asend ISDN box. Whenever the system comes up, I get network connectivity, i.e, I can ping systems on the other side of my ISDN connection. However, after sometime, I cant reach any of the machines ! Do u have any suggestions? I had a Linux machine earlier( Redhat) and everythig was just fine. I replaced it with this new pc doing freeBSD, set up the hostname, ip addr, default gateway and DNS server. I now have these problems. Do you, without loss of generality, recommend that I upgrade to 2.2.5? :-) If I had to do that, what is the best method, given that I may be able to get full Internet connectivity only for a brief period of time ?

By telneting into that port, you can control ppp, run commands, etc, etc, and since it is run as root, this could pose a big security problem. To combat this, you need to edit ppp.secret, and add a line in there with the name of your computer (not the fqdn), a tab, and a password. Without this, you'll get an error, and it won't listen to port 3000. With the entry, whomever tries to telnet to port 3000 to access your/control your ppp program, they'll need to enter a password before gaining access to any significant commands. - alex From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Nov 11 17:31:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA13166 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 11 Nov 1997 17:31:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from elvis.vnet.net (elvis.vnet.net [166.82.1.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA13143 for ; Tue, 11 Nov 1997 17:31:36 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rivers@dignus.com) Received: from ponds.dignus.com (ponds.vnet.net [166.82.177.48]) by elvis.vnet.net (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id UAA06366; Tue, 11 Nov 1997 20:30:18 -0500 (EST) Received: from lakes.dignus.com (lakes [10.0.0.3]) by ponds.dignus.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA03834; Tue, 11 Nov 1997 20:47:35 -0500 (EST) Received: (from rivers@localhost) by lakes.dignus.com (8.8.7/8.6.9) id UAA13990; Tue, 11 Nov 1997 20:36:00 -0500 (EST) Date: Tue, 11 Nov 1997 20:36:00 -0500 (EST) From: Thomas David Rivers Message-Id: <199711120136.UAA13990@lakes.dignus.com> To: francisco@natserv.com, jal@42is.com Subject: Re: 2.2.5 Sub CDs (Was: Re: Are there binaries for individual files) Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 11 Nov 1997, Francisco Reyes wrote: > ps Has anyone got their 2.2.5 subscription CDs yet?

Looks like this is not a special case. My 3.0 Snapshot copy just couldn't find the 2nd IDE port, which my CD-ROM is connected to !! My computer is a normal VX board, AMD 5x86, Teac 6x IDE CD-ROM. This , at least, works under DOS, Win95. BTW, I do remember back in 2.2.1 (??), on some configuartion, the boot disk cannot find the CD-ROM, but after installed, a new , customised kernel can find the AT-API CD-ROM. SO I wonder if this is the same case...

[cross-posted to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc] And now that everyone knows the rules.... they've been updated :-I The reasoning is that too many people had problems with the security model. Although it was a reasonable default, there was no way to allow easy access (if that's what a sysadm really wants). Here are the new essentials (completed as of today). There pretty much the same as the proposal I posted to -hackers on Nov 3: 1. The command "set users user-list" is introduced where user-list is a list of user names. The default is empty. If users are included in this list (or if your uid is 0), they may run ppp The check is done *before* the ppp section is loaded (and may be part of the default label). User "*" means anyone. 2. The command "set modes mode-list" is introduced where mode-list is a list of allowable modes from "auto", "background", "ddial", "direct", "interactive", "dedicated" and "*". This command augments ``1.'' as the super-user may set up profiles that may not be altered. The default is "all modes". 3. Permissions stay the same. You've gotta be group network to have a chance of running ppp at all. This means that the default is root only 'cos of file system permissions. 4. No socket is created by default. 1. You *must* set a password in /etc/ppp/ppp.secrets or on the "set server" command line: set server|socket TcpPort|LocalName|none [passwd] [mask] 2. If you specify an empty password, you don't need to use the ``passwd'' command. 3. You can -USR1 ppp to re-open the socket on AF_INET:3000+tunno, but only if you've specified a password (which may be empty) in ppp.secret. You can -USR2 ppp to stop ppp from listening to diagnostic connections. 5. Pppctl can already handle the ppp prompt when it doesn't want a password (ppp doesn't prompt or require the -p option). 6. Pppctl has an ``interactive'' mode, taking away ``telnet''s attraction. Interactive mode uses libedit, allowing command line editing. Be careful though, due to a bug in -stable before today, libedit dumps core when reading ~/.editrc. 7. $HOME/.ppp.* are removed. The "!include" command is added instead, which understands ``~'' and environment variables. 8. ID0 logging is available so that you can see what's being done as user id 0. 9. There's a pile of new examples in ppp.conf.sample. As ever, all this is available on http://www.freebsd.org/~brian. Things seem to work ok, and there's even a working -dedicated mode now. I have no plans to change any of this again if it's any consolation to people - I know it's a pain in the arse when this sort of thing changes..... > - alex > -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

First, I thought I saw reference to this in the mailing list but browsing the archive turns up nothing (for 2.2.5). For some reason, the df command simply hangs, producing no output. Is there a fix for this? Or can I reload the 2.2.2 df command somehow? Secondly, within 2 hours of upgrading, I was no longer able to use my ethernet. I am using an Intel Etherexpress 16 on device ie0 at the default settings. Bootup finds it correctly and dhcpc attempts to connect, but is unable to obtain an IP from the server. It is possible that this is a network error, however, with the snail's pace my admins moved last time the problem cropped up (it was a network error and it seems to have taken then 3 days and 4 calls from me to figure it out) it could be some time before I hear anything from them. Is the 2.2.5 version of ie0 any different from 2.2.2 (which worked wonderfully once I configured eveything) and if so, could it be broken? Can I reload the 2.2.2 version of it?

I have started running the 'olvwm' OpenLook X window manager (which I installed as a package, not as a port, if that matters any). The man pages for olvwm only highlight those features beyond the base 'olwm' OpenLook window manager. The thing is, I can't find 'olwm' anywhere in the FreeBSD distribution, not in packages nor in ports. So, I cannot install and read documentation (including man pages) for olwm. I am looking for any documentation available for the OpenLook window manager (whether 'olwm' or 'olvwm') which would discuss user set-up issues such as building window menus, specifying window defults, and specifying resources. Anything that would help me set-up and use my 'olvwm' window manager would be greatly appreciated. I am running FreeBSD 2.1.7 (going up to 2.2.5 this weekend), and olvwm 4.1. Please reply directly; I am not in the mailing list. Many thanks in advance. - Bill.

CC: Emmanuel.Duros@sophia.inria.fr Reply-to: Emmanuel.Duros@sophia.inria.fr Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have two FreeBSD stations (A & B) interconnected by a 3.4MBps broadcast satellite link. The RTT is about 330 ms. From A to B it takes 300ms and from B to A 30 ms. A runs FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE and B runs 2.2.1-RELEASE. The maximum data rate I can get when I download a big file is 50 Kbyte/s. This is the maximum data rate I can reach with a 330ms RTT and a default tcp windows size of 16kbytes -> In one seconde the server can send 16*(1/0.330) = 50 Kbyte/s. Every Ack beeing generated by the client every 330 ms. According to rfc1323, increasing the size of the send and receive tcp buffers we can normally obtain a much better data rate. On both hosts A & B, I set net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 to 1 and net.inet.tcp.{recv|send}space with values ranging from 16384 to 65536. With a 65Kbyte window we should theoritically get close to 200Kbyte/s Using ftp and the netperf tool, I could not see any improvement as far as the data rate is concerned. Furthermore, whatever the value of rfc1323 (0 or 1) and even if I set the size of tcp buffer to 4096, I still get a 50 Kbyte data rate?!?!? I still have not understood why and I would appreciate any hint on this!!!

I'm not looking for much, just an ISP who - Gives me a subdomain of their own domain, and delivers mail to it using SMTP (so I'm not paying them every time I want to set up a new mailbox) - Doesn't do anything that would prevent me running INN or C News locally, so I can read groups at my own pace and expiry times. - Offers 3 or 4 MB of web space for a reasonable price, lets me telnet and ftp to this web space, and has up to date copies of Perl available (anything after 5.00401). Oh, and has no silly restrictions like "You will use our mail script, our web hit counter script (ugh) and that's all"). Bonus points if they run FreeBSD, obviously. Any pointers gratefully received.

Try setting the send/recvspace very early in the startup sequence - before any network device initialization occurs. I seem to recall that the actual window size that is used is associated with the clone (host) route that is generated on the first TCP connect, and ends up sticking around after that. This is also the same reason why using setsockopt(SO_SNDBUF) in an application to change the amount of buffering doesn't work (this is clearly a bug, but noone has had any interest in fixing it). As for rfc1323, which should allow for windows greater than 64K. I don't know if that works or not; I've never heard one way or the other. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 12 04:26:06 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id EAA00274 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 12 Nov 1997 04:26:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from jim.htsa.hva.nl (jim.htsa.hva.nl [145.92.12.200]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id EAA00114 for ; Wed, 12 Nov 1997 04:22:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from robinh@jim.htsa.hva.nl) Received: from localhost (robinh@localhost) by jim.htsa.hva.nl (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id NAA00463 for ; Wed, 12 Nov 1997 13:24:31 +0100 (CET) Date: Wed, 12 Nov 1997 13:24:31 +0100 (CET) From: Robin Huiser To: FreeBSD Question List Subject: Using 32k colours....

You need to add a `pseudo-device bpf ...' line to your kernel configuration. and rebuild your kernel. Here's a relevant excerpt from the FreeBSD Handbook: (`http://WWW.FreeBSD.ORG/handbook/handbook48.html#kernelconfig:network') pseudo-device bpfilter number Berkeley packet filter. This pseudo-device allows network interfaces to be placed in promiscuous mode, capturing every packet on a broadcast network (e.g. an ethernet). These packets can be captured to disk and/or examined with the tcpdump(1) program. Note that implementation of this capability can seriously compromise your overall network security. The number after bpfilter is the number of interfaces that can be examined simultaneously. Optional, not recommended except for those who are fully aware of the potential pitfalls. Not all network cards support this capability. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Make no little plans. They have no Magic to stir Men's blood. -- D. B.

It's not possible to get 32/64K colours at 1280x1024 no matter how hard you try. You have 1280 x 1024 pixels = 1310720 pixels Each pixel will require 2 bytes, (32k colours=15 bits, 64k colours=16 bits) so therefore you will need 2621440 bytes (exactly 2.5Mb) 1152x864 64K colours should be possible with 2Mb though, The Win95 InControl tools that came with the card supported this mode, although you loose this mode when you install DirectX.

I have already.....(:+}}..... I am trying to bring up a tiny little dumb XT crate with a 386 board in it and only 4 megs of ram (you know, one of those baby XT boards), and am stuck with trying to get 2.0.5 up on it. It comes up fine. BUT, the sysinstall dumps core on a second and subsequent invocation. That does not bother me particularly, since the basic bin system is up. I do want to get the manpages installed, and don't really want to reinstall from scratch again from 5-1/5 inch floppies (yeah, I know I am crazy to do floppy installs but they still work just fine on remote boxes). My question is..... 1. can the sysinstall be reinvoked in some way without dumping core? (probably not --- if not then it requires a complete reinstall with the manpages as part of the original requested install) 2. if not, can the dos floppies be read in and installed manually? (probably so, but I can't seem to get the right incantation going) 3. if not, should I just tar off the manpages on another machine and port them in as a plain unix tar. (this should be easy to do). I tend to favor 3. as the best solution, but 2 may be doable, if I can get the correct incantation going. There were no install scripts on the 2.0.5 that I can find compared to the later releases. Comments or pointers appreciated.

Unfortunately, over the last year, my job has switched from hardware to software, so my processor knowledge outside of Intel is a bit outdated, so please excuse me while I ask some stupid things... I'm going to be running FreeBSD on both VX2 motherboards, 32MB a peice. One will be IDE (3.7GB), the other SCSI (4GB plus CD Burner). I'm looking over the chips I can buy for the boards. I'm looking at spending < $200 per board. I was originally looking at Intel Pentium 100-133s. I don't need kick-ass speed, just something "nice". Anyhow, I'm now looking at AMD and Cyrix, and, of course, their chips being called different things, so I'm trying to figure out exactly what I can support, and what I can't. According to the board specs, it can run IBM/Cyrix 6x86, P120, P150, P166. P200. Voltages are 3.5,3.3,2.9,2.8,2.7, and 2.5. No mention of AMD. Now, I get get Cyrix 6x86 P200 processors for $85.00. I can get a 6x86 with MMX for $125.00 I can get an AMD K6 200 Mhx for $182.00 I can get an AMD K5 for $97.00 An Intel Pentium 200 w/mmx for $243.00 Now, the real questions I have are. 1.) Can my boards run the AMD K6s (I know they can run K5s)? 2.) If so,what _really_ is the better of the two chips. (I don't really care about MMX). I'm really looking for cheap speed. 3.)

The level of badness will depend on the particular file you zip. You really don't gain much if anything by compressing binaries anyway. You can compress old logfiles and such but stay away from configs etc. Of course if you installed the source you can compress or remove it if you need the space.

They do almost all. My two sticking points with Demon are: 1. Their Perl version is 5.003. There were some important OO changes between 5.003 and 5.004, and so far, they don't seem inclined to upgrade. 2. They won't let you telnet to a shell on your web account that remotely reflects the environment your CGI script will be running in. It's much easier to debug a CGI that way. The alternative[1] of - write - upload - test in a browser - realise something's not quite right, because of the difference between my test environment and their server, so go to step 1 will drive me up the wall, as well as increasing my on line charges. According to my inside contact at Demon (who may or may not be reading this list, if he is, then "Hi") Demon have no immediate plans to fix point 1, and will categorically not do point 2. I had a lovely set up at my last place via a company called Atlas Internet.

I then re-installed FreeBSD 2.1.0 using the same CDROM Drive and completed a successful install - even had X running but without a Mouse! So Free BSD does install on this Compaq ProLinea 3/25zs with 4 Meg. ( I suspect it wants more memory but X did run in 4 Meg ) So what can be going wrong with my 2.2.2 install? Following support's suggestion, I tried using a 2.2.5 Release Boot and set rel to 2.2.2 and did choice 6 (Minimal). It froze the machine looking for swap space! So I tried a Novice install again with two conflicts in the Active Drivers (psm0 and sc0) This time the install process died at the end of bin, bin/cat, bin/chio(as seen with AltF2. Here is what I know after multiple install attempts of 2.2.2 with the 2.2.2 boot. [wd0s2a 20Mb /] [wd0s2e 30Mb /var] [wd0s2f 87Mb /usr] Attempted a Novice install during which the CDROM drive is read. On Try 1 I got to chmod,cp,csh,date....echo...ln and the installation process died at ln with no error message - just a frozen machine. On Try 2 it died at chmod ( not as far into the process ) At first I thought the problem was a bad CD from Walnut Creek, but their second CDROM has not improved the situation. Doing a minimal install didn't work either! I have no idea as to what to do next and hope to tap the significant expertise of your staff and I await any advice and hope I can maintain a contact with one install expert.

The make install completes OK, though. Make sure you're loading the Linux LKM through /etc/rc.conf. You may need to run `brandelf -t Linux ldconfig' to have FreeBSD grok the emulation properly. The options COMPAT_LINUX / LINUX_COMPAT are no longer needed, thankfully.

Thanks To view all the sysctl's, run `sysctl -a'. You must compile your kernel with the options outlined in the ipfw(8) man page for these sysctl's to show. Then you need to modify /etc/syslog.conf to pick up messages from ipfw and route them to a different file. See syslog.conf(5) for details.

If not, then go into the /stand/sysinstall program, and then go to the index section. Then go to the partition section and create a partition for FreeBSD. Write and Quit. Then back to the index. Go to the label section. Create a file system and give it a mount point. It is a good idea to create the mount point directory before doing this.

There are a variety of things that cause this message. Usually they are the result of a process, device, or the OS blocking the real-time clock interrupt too long and this messes up the resource calculator's values. It's possible your clock crystal is wigging out at the higher frequency too. The messages themselves are harmless, just annoying.

The problem with this is: 1. The Linux emulator isn't loaded by default. 2. We're leaving the path clear for FreeBSD-native ELF binaries and changing it would be a bad precedent. The solution is probably closer to pointing big fingers at the ``linux_enable'' hook in /etc/rc.conf. Handbook section maybe?

In the meantime you can fetch the port from /usr/ports/emulators/mtools and type `make' from the directory. Or grab the package and run pkg_add mtools-x.x.tgz. See the Handbook for further details.

Ideally, it should be possible on a per user/process basis. The difference were the flexibility to declare a binary to be of type X. I am just looking for a way to temporarily "brand" an otherwise read-only executable to be of some specific type. Of course, I assume that FreeBSD binaries would always be properly branded, being aware of the existing situation. > The solution is probably closer to pointing big fingers at the > ``linux_enable'' hook in /etc/rc.conf.

Hmm.. it looks like this should work alright. 1. Did you compile your kernel with "options DIVERT" ? 2. Are you checking the return values from socket(), bind(), readfrom()..?

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all. I have just tried to complete a task to which I am a bit new to. I am running the RealAudio server version 5.0 on my freebsd 2.2.5-release box. In the configuration file, the basepath for content for the realserver is /usr/local/pnserver/content. I have a user with a home directory of /home/twc-online with subdirectories of /realaudio and /realvideo. I figured that creating a symbolic link from /usr/local/pnserver/content to /home/twc-online would be the most apropros thing to do in this instance. that way, if someone wanted to retrieve a realvideo file off the server, all the twc-online user would have to do would be to upload the file in either the realaudio or realvideo directory, and it would also be in /usr/local/pnserver/content/realaudio or /usr/local/pnserver/content/realvideo. Then, supposing someone wanted to retrieve a realvideo from the server called, video.rm, they would need only type: pnm://twcmedia.dcoisp.net/realvideo/video.rm and the file should begin to play. Well, this is not the case. I receive an "error 14, file not found!" I am able to logon to the twcmedia.dcoisp.net server and cd to the /usr/local/pnserver/content directory. Sure enough, the realaudio and realvideo directories are there, along with some files in each subdirectory. When I do an ls -l from within /usr/local/pnserver the content directory shows as L rather than D. My understanding is that L stands for link, and it should in fact be that. Am I correct, or am I missing something? >From reading the man ln page, this was the understanding I got out of it. Thanks for any insight. I am in a bit of a pinch. :) Jeremy From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 12 17:42:39 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA00989 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 12 Nov 1997 17:42:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from out2.ibm.net (out2.ibm.net [165.87.194.229]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA00984 for ; Wed, 12 Nov 1997 17:42:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mouth@ibm.net) Received: from slip129-37-53-104.ca.us.ibm.net (slip129-37-53-104.ca.us.ibm.net [129.37.53.104]) by out2.ibm.net (8.8.5/8.6.9) with SMTP id BAA136672 for ; Thu, 13 Nov 1997 01:42:14 GMT From: mouth@ibm.net (John Kelly) To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Walnut Creek Date: Thu, 13 Nov 1997 02:43:28 GMT Message-ID: <346a68bc.14264461@smtp-gw01.ny.us.ibm.net> X-Mailer: Forte Agent 1.01/16.397 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by hub.freebsd.org id RAA00985 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk What version of FreeBSD is Walnut Creek running?

All of your info led me to the source of my problem, and once I had removed the old patch (that was mis-applied 3 times I am sorry to say) I was able to compile it into my kernel, and the rest is history. But alas, even with this triumph and an newly installed HD, I still am having crashes. I am beginning to thing that it is my httpd, because when I first boot the system, it says starting httpd daemons then can't bind httpd to port 80 then address already in use then when a few users have been on for a while (like 20 minutes) my system crashes. I have noticed these errors in my httpd.errors log, but don't know if this it really related. I think I may ditch the pci cyclades and the adaptec 2940 scsi stuff and just build a good old reliable IDE with ISA cyclades :-( I am just stumped!

I am a little clueless here, but why is it a bad thing to do this? I just compressed BitchX with what seems like a 50% ratio, and with the pseudo device gzip, it seems to work fine. - alex From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 12 18:17:23 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id SAA03650 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 12 Nov 1997 18:17:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from send1a.yahoomail.com (send1a.yahoomail.com [205.180.60.22]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id SAA03639 for ; Wed, 12 Nov 1997 18:17:19 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rgireyev@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <19971113021659.19860.rocketmail@send1a.yahoomail.com> Received: from [156.153.255.234] by send1a; Wed, 12 Nov 1997 18:16:59 PST Date: Wed, 12 Nov 1997 18:16:59 -0800 (PST) From: Rudy Gireyev Subject: Large DB on FBSD To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi! I've got a multiparter for your barin-teasing pleasure. 1. I want to setup and run a large DB on FreeBSD. I'm assuming I will have to use Postgres. Is anyone running a large DB on FBSD currently? If so please Please pleasE pLEEEase specify how large. 2. Some of the DB Tools I need to use are available for Linux only. The authors of those tools are very adamant about not porting them to FBSD because of their heavy usage of threads. They claim, probably correctly, that FBSD thread performance is punishing. Now here I get stuck. Because one of the tools I need is a special form of a WEB server. So my question is how much of a penalty in performance will I be paying by running a WEB server on Linux? Would the WEB server run better under FBSD with Linux emulation (Due to FBSD superior TCP/IP stack)? Within a month or two I plan to conduct my own test but I wanted to see if anyone else had done anything similar. If you have done the comparison could you please specify wich Linux distribution you used. 3. Lastly I would like to stuff as many SCSI (NCR) boards in my final machine as I can, final as in not the test machine. What is the limit of the number of SCSI boards FBSD will handle efficiently. If memory serves me right this may be a hardware limit of the x86 architecture bit I'm not sure. Thanks in advance. P.S. Before you ask I have dug through the archives using both search engines (hi John :-)) __________________________________________________________________ Sent by Yahoo! Mail.

Is it better to just concatenate the drives or to stripe across all drives. With Squids directory cache structure can you take advantage of reducing overall disk access time by using multiple spindles concatenated? I would think that disk transfer rate is not as important in this application and reducing access time by keeping logical I/Os on a single spindle (instead of involving them all) is. Does anybody have any thoughts or experience with this? I am building a Squid proxy with a 266MHZ PII, 512mb memory, and 3 - 9mb Ultra wide, Seagate Barracudas plus a system/swap disk. I am setting this up as a parent server for our much smaller siblings. FreeBSD 2.2.2 is the OS.

In divert man page, it is said that: "Normally, packets read as incoming should be written as incoming; similiarly for outgoing packets. When reading and then writing back packets, passing the same socket address supplied by recvfrom(2) unmodified to sendto(2) simplifies things". I am a bit confused here: when I do recvfrom(2), the socket address I am getting is actually a source (struct socketaddr*), if I pass it unmodified to sendto(2) as detination, it seems contradict to my usual sense of "read as incoming, write as incoming". Am I missing something here? I do tried this way, it seemed not work. To make my question clear, here is what I am trying to do - A routing daemon (gated) is listening proto 89 via "normal raw socket". I first use "ipfw" divert all ip packets with proto 89 to another port, which got a divert socket binded, after packet checking ok, I want to re-inject it into the incoming stream without affecting gated daemon. Can it be done? Now reading is ok, but when I write back, but gated daemon seems never receive the packets.

Thank you for your prompt responses last time. Unfortunately, I have come up with another set of questions. Please bear with me, as I am trying my best to learn this powerful new operating system. The following are my questions: 1) I would like to setup my computer so that it support TCP/IP (so that I can ping other computers on the web). Right now, the ping command doesn't seem to work, so I am assuming I did not set the TCP/IP right. Where would I go to mess around with the settings and how would I go about it? I am using FreeBSD 2.2.2, if it helps. 2) I just finished installing XWindows, and I have a very important question - what the heck is it for? Can somebody tell me info about its advantages, its disadvantages, its uses, etc? I open it up, and the windows "login", "x-term", and "clock" show up. What is the difference and what are they? 3) I still have some problems configuring XWindows. I have a S3 Virge3d card with 2 megs of VRam, and a Dell Trinitron 17 inch monitor. When I load up XWindows, it is only displayed with the colors pink, white, and gray. Is there some way to make it "prettier", or did I just configure it improperly? Thank you very much for volunteering your time to helping out beginner's like me. I really appreciate all the help.

I got a hold of the pgcc port, and ran make;make install on it, however I'm at a loss as to how to call it from gcc. The info and manpages for gcc claim that one can call different versions of gcc using the -btargettype and -Vversion command line switches. However running gcc -bpentium-unknown-freebsd -V2.7.2p -mpentium -o test test.c bombs out, adding the -v switch shows that gcc isn't calling the pgcc. Is the gcc that comes with FreeBSD setup to support this kind of setup, or am I doing something horribly wrong? - alex From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 13 00:35:10 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA28441 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 13 Nov 1997 00:35:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.FreeBSD.ORG [204.216.27.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA28431 for ; Thu, 13 Nov 1997 00:35:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bradh@spiral.new.co.za) Received: from piral.new.co.za (spiral.new.co.za [196.25.18.121]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.6/8.8.5) with ESMTP id AAA11654 for ; Thu, 13 Nov 1997 00:32:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (admin@localhost) by localhostpiral.new.co.za (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id KAA19659; Thu, 13 Nov 1997 10:34:46 +0200 (SAT) Date: Thu, 13 Nov 1997 10:34:45 +0200 (SAT) From: Brad Hendrickse X-Sender: admin@spiral.new.co.za Reply-To: Brad Hendrickse To: Michael Porter cc: questions@FreeBSD.com Subject: Re: Dictionary of Questions?

CC: Emmanuel.Duros@sophia.inria.fr Reply-to: Emmanuel.Duros@sophia.inria.fr Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have got a PC with 2 HDs. On the first PC I already have NT installed. The second HD is a removable HD on which I am installing FreeBSD. I want to leave the MBR of the first HD untouched, this way NT would always boot first. In order to start FreeBSD I was wondering if it was it possible to have a floppy with a MBR which would boot FreeBSD on the second HD. I remember I did this once with LILO/Linux. As I boot the PC with this floppy I would always start FreeBSD... Is there a way of doing this?

[.....] Each lump of ppp data is framed with a couple of initial bytes and a sum at the end. An FCS error is when the sum doesn't add up. It's normally due to flow control, sio overflows or the fact that you're not talking to a ppp program (perhaps ppp has exited and you're trying to parse login prompts). > joe -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

I have an HP OmniBook that I just upgraded to 2.2.5-Release. I got 2 of 3 of my Pccards working. The 3Com 3c589C, and a Xircom Ethernet + Modem 33.6 (as a modem only). The card that won't work at all (pccardc dumpcis hangs without saying a word) is a Megahertz 28.8 modem (CC3288). Strangely, that card worked on 2.2.2-Release with PAO. -- "If I knew what horse would win, I wouldn't be riding.

You cannot decrypt a unix password - however you can guess them, and there are utilities that look at the salt part of the password field of the password file, then encrypt a dictionary - and or common permutations of userid and gecos field info. If you use the master.passwd scheme and do not use NIS then they cant do much of anything unless they gain root access or via some trick get a copy of master.passwd - even then they gotta run guess software per above.

The easy way to do this is to use the boot floppy from the installation distribution. When you see the boot prompt just enter the location of your kernel on the hard disk. Something like boot: sd(1,a)kernel . The hard way is to make a file system on the floppy and as a part of that process put the boot record down on the first tracks of the floppy.

Boot with -v, to load the visual boot config and enable psm0. Either that, or remove the disable from your config file, and recompile. That would be the best in the long run, so you don't forget to change that the next time you compile a kernel.

To Whom it my concern, I need help in installing Free BSD on my computer. I have a pentium with a 2.4G hard drive. The principle operating system running is Win95. I've partioned the hard drive in the following manner, C: 300M, D: 200M, E: 250M, F: 250M, G: 250M, H: 250M and I: 925M. Win95 has been installed on C:. All the partions have been MS-DOS formated. I would like to install the Free BSD operating system on the I: drive. Does the I: drive need to be MS-DOS formated? I bought the CD-ROM version of FreeBSD 2.2.2 . I have CD-ROM drive installed, so I intend to install it from the CD-ROM drive. Furthermore, I would like to able to switch from UNIX to Win95 and vice versa with no problems. Please forward me your instructions by e-mail, it would be much appreciated. Please also be as articulate as possible and do not miss any steps, I might get lost. Tell it to like I'm a 2 year old.

The cd devices are: SCSI cdrom Old Mitsumi CD interface Old Sony CD interface Old Matstushita / Panasonic interface It doesn't look like your IDE CD was found though. Scroll back further on vty0 and see if your CDROM was found during the wdc? boot probes.

Brute-force methods (trying the dictionary) will work IF you have chosen easy-to-guess passwords. Make sure your passwords are secure by: . not using words in your password . using 2 or more non-letters (numbers, symbols, etc) . using passwords at least 6 characters long . Make sure your encrypted passwords aren't just laying around for anyone to read. By default they should only be in /etc/master.passwd with permissions 600, owner root:wheel. Make sure you didn't copy that to your anonymous ftp heirarchy. Other quick tips: . Deny snooping attacks by using Secure Shell (ssh) instead of telnet where possible, and setting up RSA keys. If you have a purely UNIX environment then you can disable your own password making it impossible for anyone except someone with your private key from even making an attempt. . Use your firewall or ipfw to block the perp's IP. . Complain to their ISP and give logs as evidence. I'm no security professional but those are some quick things that may help. Don't worry about some little kid threatening you that they'll hack your system; if you have decent passwords, I'd invite them to try. They won't be successful.

When I try to build I get a checksum mismatch error and 2. When I try make NO_CHECKSUM=yes it seems to be unable to make the mysl.. directory it needs. The really weird part is I have the same files on another FreeBSD 2.2.2-R machine and I have no problem with it on that machine. The machines have identical hardware. I have transferred the files several times, and they always have the same byte count and I have removed them from the second machine and rerun the build with no problem. I use a transfer between systems as one has a direct internet connection (#2) and one doesn't. I have had no trouble with dozens of other ports doing this.

Actually, you want to spread the I/O's around. In SCSI systems that suport detach/atttach, you can send separate commands to separate devices and have them do the seek concurently. The speed limit is going to be your disk speed in any case, by striping them you can hope to get page accesses on separate disks. > Does anybody have any thoughts or experience > with this?

Well, if you want to use this for swap, you just run `swapon /dev/wd1c' to add it. If you want to make it available as an FS then you have some work ahead of you since you can't add to an existing filesystem.

There has to be enough space on the target FS to restore the dump, which is RAM+swap. by default the core is dropped into /var/crash, if you don't have enough space there the savecore will fail. In that case run savecore yourself: savecore /dir/with/lots/of/space/ See the savecore(8) man page for details. > P.S. Do people appreciate the attempt to mix humor with technical > discussion?

I forgot #3: 3. The ELF format doesn't define a system-type flag. Without branding it's impossible to tell Linux ELF, BSDi ELF and FreeBSD ELF apart. The brand is a bit of a hack, using some unused space in the ELF definition. > Ideally, it should be possible on a per user/process basis. > The difference were the flexibility to declare a binary to be > of type X. > I am just looking for a way to temporarily "brand" an otherwise > read-only executable to be of some specific type. Ah the motivation :-) The hack should be in the code where the brand is found -- have it return Linux regardless. > Of course, I assume that FreeBSD binaries would always be properly > branded, being aware of the existing situation. > > > The solution is probably closer to pointing big fingers at the > > ``linux_enable'' hook in /etc/rc.conf.

I was thinking of the ramifications of enabling the linuxulator by default and decided that if people want to get into linux emulation they have to get the lib port anyway, so there's no sense enabling it if the libs aren't installed. It was a tangent.

It is very weak. A good example of a password is one that is not any kind of proper name or any word that appears in the dictionary. If you insist on some kind of name then try unsusual capitalization and spaces in the password. Something like blaH 34iT . How is the hacker getting in? Through telnet? If so disable all remote logins until you reasses the security of you box and do damage control. If the hacker knows a bit about UNIX in general he/she could have placed a 'trojan horse' program on your box. A trojan horse is a program that acts like a program that it replaced, such as the 'ls' program, but the hacker has added a feature that will spawn a root shell. That means he doesn't even have to know the root password anymore. Other on the list will have to give you advice on how to check for suspicous proggies on your system doing things that they shouldn't. But the first thing to do is don't let the hacker back in. Shut down any service that the hacker used. System security is worth the inconvenience of temporary loss of functionality until you can get your unit in a state that the hacker wiil be less likely successful. An excellent book is 'Practical UNIX and Internet Security" by Oreily and Assoc. The book focuses on security concepts and is not system specific, meaning it talks about most commons flavors of UNIX. - Richard. On Thu, 13 Nov 1997, Randy A.

Let's start by saying that FreeBSD does not go on a DOS partition. Primary or Extended. A disk can have 4 real partitions. So if "I:" is in the same extended partition as d: e: f: g: and h:, you'll have to redo that partition (which means deleting d: through i:) using fdisk in windows. So the moral of the story is.

No the drive is not DOS format. It uses FFS format from Berkeley. Switching is no problem. One question is for installing the FreeBSD boot selector. This is Boot easy. It works well.

Am I missing something > here? The root of your question is the hackerous nature of divert sockets :-) You have to forget your usual understanding of the meaning of sendto() and recvfrom(). Just think of them as read() and write() with room for an extra argument. The extra argument simply specifies whether the packet is an "incoming" packet (ie, received on an interface but not yet routed) or an "outgoing" packet (ie, ready to be forwarded out a specific interface). > I do tried this way, it seemed not work.

You should be able to do this by passing the exact same sockaddr structure you got from recvfrom() to sendto(). If gated is not getting the packets, make sure your packet is legal, ie., has a correct IP header checksum, etc (otherwise it will get dropped). -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 13 10:43:03 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id KAA06407 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 13 Nov 1997 10:43:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from cs4.cs.ait.ac.th (root@cs4.cs.ait.ac.th [192.41.170.15]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id KAA06394 for ; Thu, 13 Nov 1997 10:42:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from a96456@cs.ait.ac.th) Received: from bazooka.cs.ait.ac.th (root@bazooka.cs.ait.ac.th [192.41.170.2]) by cs4.cs.ait.ac.th (8.6.12/) with ESMTP id AAA04520 for ; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 00:24:56 +0700 Received: from localhost (a96456@localhost) by bazooka.cs.ait.ac.th (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA04621 for ; Thu, 13 Nov 1997 23:58:28 +0700 (GMT) X-Authentication-Warning: bazooka.cs.ait.ac.th: a96456 owned process doing -bs Date: Thu, 13 Nov 1997 23:58:28 +0700 (GMT) From: Sunthiti Patchararungruang To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Serial Port ?

COFF I think is a SYSV format, so it won't be supported. Who makes the NetUPS? You might bug them and see if they have a BSDi or Linux version. I'm in the process of adding different UPS's to a FreeBSD ups daemon that's been roaming around the net for quite a while now. If the company is agreeable, I could try to add support for it to the program.

I have 3 computers total on my network, The FreeBSD machine which is connected to the modem and 2 Windows 95 Machines and the windows 95 machines seem to work fine on IRC, WWW, FTP. But just the other day i attempted to play Quake on a server of my friends and it said it couldn't find it.. But yet everyone i knew said it was there. And another thing is that DCC Chatting cannot be initiated by ME in IRC. So the question is, Can i some how enable and alias or is there a 3rd Party program that will do a completely flawless gateway? Or do i have to have another IP address assigned to my other machines. That really isn't an option, i have already asked my ISP if i could get some static ip's but cannot. So that cant be a solution so I'm hoping there is another way to get this to work. I would appreciate any help you guys could give me.

Someone is scribbling all over the kernel stack. Note the virtual address is really low and 0xefb... is in the kernel stack area. What devices do you have installed? I could get a quickcam to do this when I exited X. Turned out my MB spits out random IRQ 7's and i intelligently stuck the qcam on it, so when it kicked one out the driver took a picture into space.

Just delete the partition using DOS fdisk then set it up as a separate slice. I don't have this specifically documented yet, but you can use http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat as a guide.

[...] Ouch, you are in a pickle. :-( I have a feeling that SysCommander saw the disklabel on the second disk as some MBR junk and partition table-ized it. So now you have a pretty partition table there but a munched disklabel. If you knew the exact values of the disklabel you might be able to reconstitute it. Otherwise you'd better test your backup.

The problem was the fact that /stand/sysinstall wasn't actually doing anything, it was just sitting there with a blank screen. I fixed the problem anyways, it turned out that it is the atapi zip drive that is on the second ide device that caused it to hang. When I disabled wd1 sysinstall started perfectly. (the atapi zip drive and ide cdrom were both found during probing, but aparently freebsd tried to access the zip drive or something) Thanks anyways.

Any reason you have to use 194? It's a priviledged port so that means running ircd suid-root, which is a major security problem.

XWindows is a graphical user environment, much like M$ Windows. It's pretty big, but it's a nice interface. I have three windows on my box right now, two normal-sized terminals and one screen-tall terminal I'm typing into at the moment. Aroudn the rest of the screen is a button bar with a clock and a minimized console display. If you want to run Netscape, view pictures, and other graphical apps, you have to run X. By default, `xterm' is just a regular login session. The one marked `login' controls the whole thing; if it exits the session ends. `clock' is, well a clock. :) > 3) I still have some problems configuring XWindows.

Please be patient... When FreeBSD 2.2.5 boots up it only recognizes 16M of RAM (we've installed 48M). I went into the kernel file GENERIC and added a line: options MAXMEM=49152 Apparently that is not enough. I found a webpage (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ87.html#87) at freebsd.org that explains how to configure the kernel: "... you need either the complete srcdist or, at the minimum, the kerndist loaded on your system. Once you have the kerndist or srcdist loaded, do the following as root: 1.cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 2.cp GENERIC MYKERNEL 3.vi MYKERNEL 4.config MYKERNEL 5.cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL 6.make depend 7.make all 8.make install 9.reboot I'm having a problem with the first part. What is the "srcdist" or the "kerndist"?? And where do I get one?? It says that I need to "load" one of the two before I can go through the nine steps. Please help!!

If I compile it with defaults and "-DSERVER_MODE", it works, but has some bugs; it will occasionally zero out user's .popbull files, and if a user has an empty spool, it dumps core.

You can use fips to make a copy of your boot sector on a floppy disk, in case anything goes wrong, the FIPS documentation covers doing this well, you can make an image of your boot sector by using a dos boot disk and then typing: a:>fips -t (-t for test) and you can safely cancel anytime before you actually have to change your boot sector 2) You now have two boot disks: a) the FreeBSD bootdisk with boot.flp copied to it using fdimage.exe b) the emergancy bootdisk with a copy of your boot sector Put the FreeBSD bootdisk into the disk drive, and reboot. 3) The freebsd boot prompt will come up, and tell you to not do anything, don't do anything, in a couple of seconds it will load the freebsd kernal into memory, and bring up a screen divided into three parts, the top part is all you have to deal with, if you want to. Follow the instructions on the screen, you do not have to change anything on this screen, if you are not up to it, but eliminating hardware from the lists that is not on your computer will speed up the process. When you leave that screen, FreeBSD will automatically probe the computer for all the hardware it supports (except for the hardware you deleated from the lists...) 4) A screen with one menu in the center will come up, use the arrow keys to move the highlighter down to: Novice installation and press enter. 5) You will be asked a variety of questions about your computer and how much of freebsd you wish to install (Just Binary, developer, or a combination of the two), your method of installation (NFS, FTP, From a dos partition, in your case, probably CD), etc., etc., etc.... (note, if your CD drive is not recognized, copy the files onto your c:\ partition in the directory c:\freebsd\. for a minimum install is should contain: c:\freebsd\bin\bin.inf, bin.aa, bin.ab, bin.ac, bin.ad, etc.. and a checksum file, maybe CHECKSUM.MD5) 6) The Tricky part: FreeBSD would like to know where on your Harddrive to put itself... a table will come up with some information about your harddrive partition sceme... you should choose to delete the I drive (probably the last one listed on the chart, probably named wd0s6 or wd0s7 you'll be able to tell by the size...) and then choose Create slice, choose FreeBSD file type, you partition table will now show: A boot sector 6 MSDOS partitions 1 FreeBSD partition and you may continue... 7) The Next screen that comes up will ask you about "mounting" file systems, this is nothing you have to worry about, unless you plan on using this computer for a USENET or E-MAIL server, choose default or automatic allocation, and accept the mounting scheme. 8) FreeBSD should go ahead and start installing now, unless it cares to stop and ask a few more questions, but they will be easy... 9) If anything goes wrong, ^C (control-C) will cancel the installation if you can't recover, you can just go back and try again, if DOS won't boot, or you get an error message: BAD PARTITION TABLE go to the disk made in part 1.5 and run the restore program, and go try again, if you have any problems, you can go to the FreeBSD homepage (listed above) or e-mail freebsd-questions@freebsd.org (where you mail to get this answer) and somebody will be happy to help you recover, and install freebsd... This covers the tough part, after the files are finished copying, the installation program will ask you about configuration, that is all easy stuff though, and I'm sure that you'll figure that out, even if you are a two year old... ;) Good Luck, if you have any questions please mail me or the mailing list, if you found this tremendously long e-mail message helpful, let me know. ------------ "Of course, the irony of pretty clothes is it makes people want to take them off.

I have consulted the tutorial and followed the sysinstall approach to the letter but without success. Ditto the command line approach. Before doing anything I ran MAKEDEV sd4. Using sysinstall I partition the disk, write the partition info, label the disk, write and quit. newfs isnt run. I do get exactly one error message complaining about an "invalid arguement" when I write the label info - NOT path not not found as it says in the tutorial. Trying to do anything on the command line invariably dies with an invalid superblock message. Trying to run sysinstall off the boot floppy went nowhere fast since it didnt even recognize the 5th disk.

Please be patient... When FreeBSD 2.2.5 boots up it only recognizes 16M of RAM (we've installed 48M). I went into the kernel file GENERIC and added a line: options MAXMEM=49152 Apparently that is not enough. I found a webpage (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ87.html#87) at freebsd.org that explains how to configure the kernel: "... you need either the complete srcdist or, at the minimum, the kerndist loaded on your system. Once you have the kerndist or srcdist loaded, do the following as root: 1.cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 2.cp GENERIC MYKERNEL 3.vi MYKERNEL 4.config MYKERNEL 5.cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL 6.make depend 7.make all 8.make install 9.reboot I'm having a problem with the first part. What is the "srcdist" or the "kerndist"?? And where do I get one?? It says that I need to "load" one of the two before I can go through the nine steps. Please help!!

It provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. It is inteded as a replacement for rlogin, rsh, and rcp. FEATURES o Complete replacement for rlogin, rsh, and rcp. o Strong authentication. Closes several security holes (e.g., IP, routing, and DNS spoofing). New authentication methods: .rhosts together with RSA based host authentication, and pure RSA authentication. o Improved privacy. All communications are automatically and transparently encrypted. RSA is used for key exchange, and a conventional cipher (normally IDEA, DES, or triple-DES) for encrypting the session. Encryption is started before authentication, and no passwords or other information is transmitted in the clear. Encryption is also used to protect against spoofed packets. o Secure X11 sessions. The program automatically sets DISPLAY on the server machine, and forwards any X11 connections over the secure channel. Fake Xauthority information is automatically generated and forwarded to the remote machine; the local client automatically examines incoming X11 connections and replaces the fake authorization data with the real data (never telling the remote machine the real information). o Arbitrary TCP/IP ports can be redirected through the encrypted channel in both directions (e.g., for e-cash transactions). o No retraining needed for normal users; everything happens automatically, and old .rhosts files will work with strong authentication if administration installs host key files. o Never trusts the network. Minimal trust on the remote side of the connection. Minimal trust on domain name servers. Pure RSA authentication never trusts anything but the private key. o Client RSA-authenticates the server machine in the beginning of every connection to prevent trojan horses (by routing or DNS spoofing) and man-in-the-middle attacks, and the server RSA-authenticates the client machine before accepting .rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv authentication (to prevent DNS, routing, or IP-spoofing). o Host authentication key distribution can be centrally by the administration, automatically when the first connection is made to a machine (the key obtained on the first connection will be recorded and used for authentication in the future), or manually by each user for his/her own use. The central and per-user host key repositories are both used and complement each other. Host keys can be generated centrally or automatically when the software is installed. Host authentication keys are typically 1024 bits. o Any user can create any number of user authentication RSA keys for his/her own use. Each user has a file which lists the RSA public keys for which proof of possession of the corresponding private key is accepted as authentication. User authentication keys are typically 1024 bits. o The server program has its own server RSA key which is automatically regenerated every hour. This key is never saved in any file. Exchanged session keys are encrypted using both the server key and the server host key. The purpose of the separate server key is to make it impossible to decipher a captured session by breaking into the server machine at a later time; one hour from the connection even the server machine cannot decipher the session key. The key regeneration interval is configurable. The server key is normally 768 bits. o An authentication agent, running in the user's laptop or local workstation, can be used to hold the user's RSA authentication keys. Ssh automatically forwards the connection to the authentication agent over any connections, and there is no need to store the RSA authentication keys on any machine in the network (except the user's own local machine). The authentication protocols never reveal the keys; they can only be used to verify that the user's agent has a certain key. Eventually the agent could rely on a smart card to perform all authentication computations. o The software can be installed and used (with restricted functionality) even without root privileges. o The client is customizable in system-wide and per-user configuration files. Most aspects of the client's operation can be configured. Different options can be specified on a per-host basis. o Automatically executes conventional rsh (after displaying a warning) if the server machine is not running sshd. o Optional compression of all data with gzip (including forwarded X11 and TCP/IP port data), which may result in significant speedups on slow connections. -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

Don't ask for the local changes. If I remember correctly, the "local changes" were about using a dumptruck load of ram. I'm thinking it was quite a bit more than the normal person would ever use, so it wouldn't matter to most of us anyway. Just out of idle curiosity, are there other "local changes" besides the memory one? My main reason for asking is because I use www.cdrom.com as an example of how kick-butt FreeBSD is.

This version of linuxulator doesn't support some Linux ioctl's (what it reports you about). I've tried Linux RealPlayer 5.0 under newer version (under FreeBSD-current) and it works without any complaints. So I'm afraid if you don't want to risk you data and switch to FreeBSD 3.0 you'll probably just have to wait. > Also, thanks to those who helped out with the lyx thing.

Recent development version (lyx-0.11.45, perhaps some earlier as well - I don't know) finds everything quite easily, and you don't need pull Linux libraries into memory. And so far it's stable enough.

I thought I said "Don't ask...". :-) Don't worry too much, the only significant difference in the code running on ftp.cdrom.com is that TCP delayed acks have been disabled. This is a special-case performance improvement that is tailored to our very special circumstances. I haven't made this a tunable option in FreeBSD because I want to fix the problem correctly by changing the way that some of the TCP timer mechanisms work (esp wrt delayed acks). This and other TCP scalabilty improvements are on my short term TODO list and I hope to have them completed prior to the 3.0 release. Other than the above, the other changes we're running with are selective retrofits of improvements that I've made to the -current FreeBSD sources. Some of these might be brought into 2.2-stable now that we've got the 2.2.5 release out of the way, but I haven't made any specific decisions yet. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 13 22:53:54 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id WAA03092 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 13 Nov 1997 22:53:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from lab321.ru (anonymous1.omsk.net.ru [194.226.32.34]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id WAA03044 for ; Thu, 13 Nov 1997 22:53:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kev@lab321.ru) Received: from localhost (localhost.l321.omsk.net.ru [127.0.0.1]) by lab321.ru (8.8.5-MVC-230497/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA28582; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 12:51:30 +0600 (OSK) Date: Fri, 14 Nov 1997 12:51:29 +0600 (OSK) From: Eugeny Kuzakov To: System Administrator cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ipfw in syslog.conf 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 Fri, 14 Nov 1997, System Administrator wrote: > I insert in syslog.conf next strings > > !ipfw > *.* /var/log/ipfw.log To syslog writes kernel, not ipfw. ipfw - program, that updates rulesets ONLY.

When X starts the user ppp starts up and hangs the server start, until I get bored waiting and kill the process. (I'm running ppp as a daemon.) I have been starting the X session with startx and xinit. This has gotten a bit irritating because I'm starting to use xdm. When I log off of the session, the whole console is hung up tight. I can press keys and eventually it starts beeping (buffer full, I guess.) The computer and OS are still running, but I have to go to another machine on the lan, telnet in, and rescue the situation (reboot - could also seek out and kill the offending process.) Any clues as to where to look for the solution to this? This is getting into territory where I read the book(s) and type in the examples. Any help appreciated.

How can I avoid that the NIS master server tries to push maps to itself ?

Hi, Rick, Yes, this drove me crazy, too. The scoop is this: Accelerated X doesn't support gzipped fonts (they do support compressed fonts). So what you gotta do is ungzip the fonts. Here's how: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts gzip -d */*.gz Once you do that, I understand you can run mkfontdir in each directory. I didn't - I just edited fonts.dir in the directories 100dpi, 75dpi, and misc. Worked like a charm after this. By the way, this problem is noted at www.xigraphics.com in the Accelerated X FAQ. I believe they also have a downloadable script that'll do the above for you. > Thanks Alot > > -- > Rick Knebel > rknebel@mail.csrlink.net > > -- Chris Faehl (cfaehl@cs.unm.edu) From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 14 05:26:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id FAA27665 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 05:26:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from iglou1 (exim@iglou1.iglou.com [192.107.41.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id FAA27660 for ; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 05:26:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from patrick@cre8tivegroup.com) Received: from gateway.cre8tivegroup.com [204.255.227.117] by iglou1 with smtp (8.7.3/8.6.12) id 0xWLlM-0003wA-00; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 08:26:21 -0500 Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.0 [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <346BBB6D.58B8@inetnow.com> Date: Fri, 14 Nov 1997 08:13:40 -0500 (EST) Organization: The Creative Group From: Patrick Gardella To: Joel Maple Subject: RE: Mac Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Joel, Right now? Not really. The i386 processor and the Power PC processor are two different animals. Unfortunately, you are in the same boat I am. I have a Mac 6214. Apple is writing MkLinux (another flavor of Unix) to run on Macs. But, it doesn't run on Performas, yet. They say they will offer it soon though. You can look for that at www.mklinux.apple.com. You might also want to try getting Virtual PC. They claim that you can install OpenStep, or Linux on it, so you *should* be able to try to load FreeBSD. It emulates a Pentium (Pro?) with MMX. When I looked at it, the hardware they emulate is supported by FreeBSD. Let me know if this works! I'm going to try it, but I need to buy Virtual PC first. It will be slow though. We're talking 30-40% of your processor speed, especially on your 603e. If you want to try BSD, go buy an old Mac IIci. I got one for $200, including the 13" color monitor. Install NetBSD/mac (www.macbsd.org, I think). Or you can wait for Rhapsody to come out. It's based on NextStep, and will have the Unix underbelly that you can work with, along with the familiar Mac GUI. Or you could buy the Apple port of the MacOS for Unix and install it on a FreeBSD machine. I think it runs for about $600. Reviewers said that it runs better than the normal MacOS does, since it can take advantage of the benefits of Unix. It might not run everything you want it to though. There's been some talk of porting FreeBSD to the PowerPC chip, but that probably won't happen. Or finally, you could buy an old '486 or Pentium real cheap and install FreeBSD. That's the best way to learn FreeBSD. If you get tired of it, sell the computer. I don't think that will happen though. Patrick Gardella P.S. When you get FreeBSD running, try mlvwm. It's an X windows manager made to look like a Mac. It's beta, but works well. On 14-Nov-97 Joel Maple wrote: >Hello, > I just finished reading about FreeBSD and I am very interested in >it.

We run Apache on FreeBSD as our primary web server. Recently we've began logging traffic from select client web sites and I've used 'newsyslog' to tell the system to turn over the log files monthly. I started using newsyslog for this purpose on November 11th, 3 days ago, and then rebooted after I was finished. Ever since installation, we've seen strange behavior from newsyslog.. it seems like the system cannot decide which logfile to write to, and has switched back and forth two times thus far between * and *.0 Here's some more info: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bash$ ls -l total 122 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root www 26628 Nov 14 10:36 illumen.com-access_log -rw-r--r-- 1 root www 34381 Nov 12 15:12 illumen.com-access_log.0 bash$ after I reload their web page... bash$ ls -l total 124 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root www 27729 Nov 14 10:40 illumen.com-access_log -rw-r--r-- 1 root www 34381 Nov 12 15:12 illumen.com-access_log.0 bash$ GREAT! this is how it should work.. but the first couple days after newsyslog was instituted, the log was mysteriously and without doubt being written to *.0 for all our websites, while the main logfiles (such as illumen.com-access_log) was 'dead in the water' and just sat there with a single line: "Nov 11 14:00:00 mail newsyslog[375]: logfile turned over" while all transfers were being logged to illumen.com-access_log.0 This alone tested my reasoning, since Apache was told to specifically use illumen.com-access_log (with no .0 extension) as its Transfer logfile. Here are relevant file sections: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ my /etc/crontab entry: # rotate log files every hour, if necessary 0 * * * * root /usr/sbin/newsyslog my /etc/newsyslog.conf, set up for a monthly (30-day) rotation of the logfiles # logfilename owner.group mode count size time [ZB] # Rotate logfiles monthly for our web clients /httpd/htdocs/afninc/logs/afninc.com-access_log 664 12 * 720 /httpd/htdocs/illumen/logs/illumen.com-access_log 664 12 * 720 /httpd/htdocs/zb/logs/ziggyziggy.com-access_log 664 12 * 720 /httpd/htdocs/garlic/logs/garlicgarlic.com-access_log 664 12 * 720 /httpd/htdocs/homeport/logs/thehomeport.com-access_log 664 12 * 720 my (Apache) /httpd/conf/httpd.conf file entry: TransferLog /httpd/htdocs/illumen/logs/illumen.com-access_log None of the above files or filepaths have been changed or muddled with since newsyslog was instituted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Has anyone else seen this sort of flakiness out of newsyslog-Apache? Thanks for any insights. > Enrique Krajmalnik (ekraj@illumen.net) wrote: > > > > Dave, I really do not understand when the log files are supposed to turn > > over.

I'll check freebsd's mailing list archive to see if anyone else has seen this kind of behavior. In the meantime, lets see if it flips logging back to the .0 again. If all goes well it will continue to write to the orginal logfile and stop screwing with us.

Dear Sir,
 
    I will like to join FreeBSD discussion e-mail group.  Where can I find and subscribe e-mail group?
    I have questions about installing FreeBSD and I like someone to reply in the discussion e-mail group.
 
Thank you,

I don't think it is possible to use "secure" and "NFS" in the same sentence :-) Why don't you use Amanda to back up the disk remotely, using dump? Should be a whole lot faster than mounting via NFS, and that you can secure relatively well. It also doesn't need root access (use the user operator group operator to do the backup).

Bootup finds it correctly and dhcpc attempts to connect, but is unable to obtain an IP from the server. It is possible that this is a network error, however, with the snail's pace my admins moved last time the problem cropped up (it was a network error and it seems to have taken then 3 days and 4 calls from me to figure it out) it could be some time before I hear anything from them. Is the 2.2.5 version of ie0 any different from 2.2.2 (which worked wonderfully once I configured eveything) and if so, could it be broken? Can I reload the 2.2.2 version of it?

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am sorry if this message sounds like I am missing something obvious, but I am in a bit of a jam and I am attempting to find out what the problem might be. I have a client who is trying to upload a few files into his homedirectory using ftp. I am running freebsd 2.2.5-release along with the wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-15 port. I have noticed a few strange things happening here. First, often times, he is unable to complete an upload to the server if the file is over a meg in size. However, when I use my ftp client on win95 and try and upload large files to the same server, it works without a hitch. My huntch is that it is on his isp's end that he can't always complete ftp uploads, when I can always complete them? Also, wu-ftpd never disconnects the user from his ftpd session. For example, he receives an error on his end saying that the download could not be completed, so he logs back into the server to try again. Now, when I do a ps aux on the server, there are two of the same account logged in both using ftpd. Next, he receives the unable to complete download error, so he logs back into try again. Now, there are three logins of the same account on the server when I do a ps aux. Shouldn't the server be disconnecting him? Also, the xferlog only logs successful transfers, and I can't seem to find any errors of aborted uploads or anything like that. Yeah, I know, all of this stuff is probably in the handbook, faqs, man pages, and I am looking through whatever I can get my hands on. :) However, if anyone has answers to these questions, or could at least point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Maybe someone else can help me explain this - we're running a whole bunch of Intel 10/100 nics on Pentium Pro/II machines here and every machine to the T has this type of problem: bash-2.01$ netstat -i Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll fxp0 1500 00.a0.c9.6e.e5.xx 10023234 0 8567462 0 4867357 fxp0 1500 hitbox-netblk xxx 10023234 0 8567462 0 4867357 lo0 16384 50 0 50 0 0 lo0 16384 127 localhost 50 0 50 0 0 bash-2.01$ Of course, these machines are experiencing huge data loads (2+ million hits/day) BUT.. we also have a couple of machines with the 3Com 905 NICs getting the same traffic load and: bash-2.01$ netstat -i Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll vx0 1500 00.60.97.b5.a3.xx 5855565 0 5020088 0 30 vx0 1500 hitbox-netblk xxx 5855565 0 5020088 0 30 lo0 16384 28 0 28 0 0 lo0 16384 127 localhost 28 0 28 0 0 bash-2.01$ and those figures are consistent with the other 3Com cards we have. Is the 3Com driver just better? None of the cards are in full duplex mode, though I tried with the Intel cards (man fxp) and none of the link1-link2 options work - they just shut the card down.

At line 365 or thereabouts in /sys/netipx/ipx_input.c is the following line: printf("ipx_ctlinput: cmd %d.\n", cmd); Simply surround it with /* */ to comment it out, rebuild your kernel, and it won't bother you any more. Some host on your network is returning a response to a IPX packet using type 15, which isn't defined. I don't know why your system even cares about IPX without the IPX routers installed, but there are a lot of things I don't know about FreeBSD ;-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 14 12:05:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA28755 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 12:05:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mail.websidestory.com (bugs.hitbox.com [209.75.20.4] (may be forged)) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA28746 for ; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 12:05:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from keric@websidestory.com) Received: from mail.websidestory.com (bugs.hitbox.com [209.75.20.4]) by mail.websidestory.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id MAA19563 for ; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 12:13:12 -0800 (PST) Date: Fri, 14 Nov 1997 12:13:12 -0800 (PST) From: Eric Anderson To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: 2.2.2 -> 2.2.5 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 Ok, I'm somewhat of a FreeBSD newbie (mostly Solaris) so forgive the ineptness but I'm planning on doing a network upgrade of all OSs from some SNAP 3.0's, but mostly 2.2.2's to 2.2.5 - is it simply as easy as moving the current /usr/src/sys out of the way, and inserting the new 2.2.5 sys and recompiling (while having made the appropriate changes in the kernel config file)? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Anderson Web Side Story * San Diego, CA Director of Network Operations -------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 14 12:07:37 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA29037 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 12:07:37 -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 MAA29013 for ; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 12:07:29 -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 MAA04125; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 12:07:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Fri, 14 Nov 1997 12:07:17 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Rudy Gireyev cc: Ateeq A Altaf , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: LS-120 floppy drives In-Reply-To: <19971113235225.25207.rocketmail@send1a.yahoomail.com> 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 Thu, 13 Nov 1997, Rudy Gireyev wrote: > I was actually considering writing such a driver, but I would need a > lot of help from the driver-masters.

This list is totally for public service. That's a little out of scope for this list. I can explain how to set up majordomo on your FreeBSD machine and use that, however -- pull the majordomo port from http://www.freebsd.org/ports/mail. If you don't have a machine to spare, contact your ISP and see if they already have a listserver running that you could use.

These are old names for the entire source distribution or the kernel source distribution. You probably only need the kernel source, referred to as `ssys'. You can grab it from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/src/ and get ssys.*. Then run `cat ssys.* | tar xzf -' to install.

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 Howdy, I just had a rogue print job fill up my /var file system. As expected, df reported negative free space. I deleted the offending 41 meg spool-file (it was a /var/spool/samba/printq file, not an lpd spool file, in case it matters) and to my amazement, df still showed the same amount of negative free space! A 'du -ks /var' showed that only 11 out of 60 megs were in use, so I _knew_ that there was plenty of free space. But, df didn't think so, and the kernel apparantly didn't think so either, as writes to /var still produced a filesystem full error. So, two questions: What's really going on here? -and- How can I smack the kernel back into reality without rebooting (which is what I ended up doing)? BTW, this is on a 2.1.6-RELEASE (+ Netatalk patches) system. Thanks, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles N.

When httpd starts up, it opens to log file you specify, and from that point on, it holds an open descriptor to that file. When newsyslog rotates the log, it changes the file's name, but httpd still has an open handle for the old log; the name of the file is not relevant. That's why, as man newsyslog states, newsyslog sends syslogd a HUP signal, instructing it to restart itself. httpd does not use syslogd, so it isn't informed that it should restart. Perhaps you could send httpd a HUP signal "by hand" after newsyslog runs. -- Matthew Hunt * Think locally, act globally. finger hunt@mph124.rh.psu.edu for PGP public key.

Another thing after taking a close look at /usr/bin (and not knowing what should really be in there) I see that yppasswd was modified on Sept 15 at 12:31, and it is now a 0 byte length file. Now I have a sun 3/60 that has some yp/nis stuff on it that is hooked to this lan, and have mounted drives back and forth with NFS and diddled around with yp and related things on the sun...I'm wondering if passwd could have been deleted somehow because of the sun since the yppasswd was modified.

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. Please explain the nature of the problem you are having - other than the collision rate being a bit high, I don't see anything wrong with the above numbers. You mentioned that you tried setting full duplex...what is the machine connected to? It must be connected to a switch for full duplex to work. Moreover, if the switch is a Cisco Catalyst (or Cisco router), you have to configure the switch port explicitly to full duplex - it will not autonegotiate. Also, you mentioned that you are messing with the -link ifconfig flags. This tells me that you aren't running 2.2.5, -stable, or -current, since in all of those cases, the method for setting the duplex and speed is entirely different. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 14 13:31:44 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id NAA05238 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 13:31:44 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from praline.no.neosoft.com (praline.no.NeoSoft.COM [206.27.160.253]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id NAA05223 for ; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 13:31:41 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from caj@praline.no.neosoft.com) Received: from localhost (caj@localhost) by praline.no.neosoft.com (8.8.8/8.8.3) with SMTP id PAA15737; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 15:31:29 -0600 (CST) Date: Fri, 14 Nov 1997 15:31:29 -0600 (CST) From: Craig Johnston To: Charles Owens cc: questions list FreeBSD Subject: Re: full file system: df and du disagree - why?

I was trying to avoid resubscribing to -hackers at any cost. I figured maybe I can scrounge me up a victim, I mean volunteer, this way. Besides resubscribing to -hackers, though, I'm also very curious about the need/interest from FBSD and users in those drives. I don't want to go down this extremely looooong road, if there is no, or only modest, interest. The investment is not only of time but money as well and I have only seen three inquiries about it, archives and list combined. P.S. And if I have to subscribe to -hackers that time investment triples automatically :-) :-) ---Doug White wrote: > > On Thu, 13 Nov 1997, Rudy Gireyev wrote: > > > I was actually considering writing such a driver, but I would need a > > lot of help from the driver-masters.

You want to upgrade the binaries too. Make it a complete affair. Just boot the 2.2.5 boot floppy, select upgrade, and follow the prompts. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES UPGRADE ANY MACHINE ON ANY 3.0-SNAPS.

It is. 1. Check that the interrupt the card is using is unique. 2. If you're on a thin Ethernet network (coax), make sure the network is properly terminated.

Under UNIX, files have a `link count' associated with them. WHen you create a file on a filesystem, it gets one link to the FS. When a program opens a file, the link count is incremented. When a program closes a file or you use the rm(1) command, the link count is reduced by one. When the link count reaches 0, the index node (inode) is cleared, the disk's block free list is updated and the file is forgotten. The problem you may be seeing is that although you deleted a file, some program still has the file open. Even though the filesystem's link is gone, the link count is still >0, so the inode continues to exist, and so df(1) will count it (since it exists in the used block list) even though du(1) can't see it since it can't see it's directory entry. Check out the fs(5) and friends man page for a little more detail. Hopefully I haven't obfusciated this too badly.

The robustness of the ATAPI interface code could use some testing from an outside source. I don't know how hot LS-120 will be, though, but anything you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.

Um, don't put them in the wheel group? Or use permissions by exclusion: put them in a group, ie, `bogus', chown su to root:bogus, and chmod g-rx su. So the ls -l will look like: -r-s---r-x 1 root bogus 16384 Oct 20 09:36 /usr/bin/su FreeBSD always uses the closest permissions, so it'll see the group bogus and use those, and viola, `permission denied.'

Well, I think I'd take it's advice, then reinstall booteasy manually. Just grab bootinst.exe and boot.bin out of the tools/ directory on the CD or FTP site. Run bootinst and you're set. (Under Lose95 you may need to use the `lock' command to release the lock on the MBR.)

So are we screwed with the SNAP versions as far as upgrades go? And how does the upgrade from the boot disk affect any configuration files (such as in /etc)? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Anderson Web Side Story * San Diego, CA Director of Network Operations -------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 14 19:16:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA25518 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 19:16:53 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mail.airmail.net (mail.airmail.net [206.66.12.40]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id TAA25513 for ; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 19:16:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kf7nn@airmail.net) Received: from airmail.net from [206.66.4.135] by mail.airmail.net (/\##/\ Smail3.1.30.16 #30.216) with esmtp for id ; Fri, 14 Nov 97 21:16:49 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <346D126E.F970C10B@airmail.net> Date: Fri, 14 Nov 1997 21:09:34 -0600 From: "Laszlo G.

If your controller or BIOS supports cylinder translation (often marked as ``>1GB drive support''), try toggling its setting and reinstalling FreeBSD. Ok, I admit, I didn't read this until AFTER the installation only to get stuck at the f1.....bsd f? prompt. So I changed the setting on my Adaptec 2940 (``extended BIOS translation'') from ENABLED to DISABLED. Then I installed *again* (argh) and after it was done it said f1.....bsd f? ARGH!

Why are the collision >rates on the Intel cards sky high, and the collision rates on the 3Com's >so low? They aren't - exactly the opposite. The Intel cards are extremely aggressive with packet transmissions and insert no delays between packets. This can result in higher collision rates, but the numbers you're seeing want affect the performance of your network unless you are near 100% capacity all of the time (a 50% collision rate would reduce the ceiling by about 5%). FWIW, the DEC chip based cards are similarly aggressive. If you're really stressing over this, you can change the "linear_priority" configuration option in the if_fxp.c driver source to a "1" - this will change the collision backoff algorithm to add additional delay and reduce the collisions. >> You mentioned that you tried setting full duplex...what is the machine >> connected to?

(forgive me, I'm new to Cisco switches) Ahhh...Catalyst switches. Yes, I've seen high collision rates with Cisco stuff - both with 'de' and 'fxp' cards. It's possible that their collision backoff algorithm is actually broken, but that's just a guess. Yeah, full duplex is the best way to fix that. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 14 21:01:22 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id VAA00163 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 21:01:22 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mail.san.rr.com (san.rr.com [204.210.0.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id VAA00158 for ; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 21:01:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from studded@san.rr.com) Received: (from studded@localhost) by mail.san.rr.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) id VAA14510; Fri, 14 Nov 1997 21:00:43 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199711150500.VAA14510@mail.san.rr.com> From: "Studded" To: "John-David Childs" , "questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Date: Fri, 14 Nov 97 21:00:32 -0800 Reply-To: "Studded" Priority: Normal X-Mailer: PMMail 1.95a For OS/2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: perl on 2.2.5 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, 14 Nov 1997 16:50:32 -0700, John-David Childs wrote: >On Friday November 14, 1997, Daniel Leeds > had this to say about "perl on 2.2.5": >> i notice perl is version 4 on 2.2.x which is fine. >> >> if i wish to compile perl 5.004_01 also, can i rename the /usr/bin/perl >> to perl4 and install perl5 in /usr/local without them clobbering each >> others necessary files?? > >I've actually been deleteing perl from /usr/bin and /usr/share/perl >since 2.1.7 and installing the latest version(s) of perl in /usr/local. > >There are a few system scripts that look for perl in /usr/bin, but a >symlink to /usr/local/bin/perl has worked flawlessly for me so far (knock >on silicon ;-) Yeah, I've done the same things, without problems. In fact, last night I stumbled on a way to prevent the old one from building during a make world, if anyone would care to comment. :) I went into /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin and edited the Makefile, deleting the perl subdirectory. Has anyone else used this technique? I could same myself some make world time by not building things I'm not going to need.

I've heard there is support for Connectix QuickCam. Where do I find out more, how do I distinguish color vs. b/w for the system or is that automatic. 2. I've heard that Alpha is now supported. Yes? Up to 600MHz? 3. I've been wanting to establish a mirror site for a while. When I ask what I'll have to establish, I don't get workable answers. I understand about being inserted in the DNS as some numbered host, but I can't get any details as to what I'll have to do to support sup, cvsup, which sets of collections it would be desired for me to host, how my site will be kept in sync with momma, etc. If someone would like to fill me in on this or assist me, I can maybe unload a bit of ftp & c. bandwidth from walnut creek. 4. Can I run routed and mrouted on the same machine without causing headaches? 5. What sort of 'programme' is there for freebsd folks to go after major vendors to offer to port popular commercial products to freebsd? I hassle vendors now and then, symantec, netscape, adobe, etc. but of course they never reply with anything useful. 6. Does anyone know what I do to enable Apache to handle the "microsoft front page extensions"? 7. Whatever happened to 'units'? 8. Instead of being a ditz, I should (a) subscribe to which freebsd mailing lists, (b) which pertinent newsgroups? 9. We run a computer storefront, and would like to advocate FreeBSD as a more-than-viable component of an office network. We have sold a few "FreeBSD systems" to businesses and educational institutions as servers. Toward this end we're going to try to showcase FreeBSD in as much glory as we can shower on it, and try to install as many applications on it as possible to show that one can do most or even all of what one might like to do with a machine without having to use a Microsoft product. We'll also try to beef up to be a support center for installed free-Unix systems (FreeBSD, then Linux if necessary.) Therefore, I'd like to find where to intersect with the freebsd 'organization' to keep current on events and to work with folks who know of cool things that can be used on freebsd. Anyone wishing to give me assistance can reach me at ecsd@transbay.net. Thanks.

I've actually been thinking about a way to make a configuration file in /usr/src which would tell make which files to compile (i.e. even more fine-tuning than just compiling the "bin", "compat", "gnu", etc. sources). There are a ton of programs in the distribution which I've never used in over two years, so not compiling them would be a bonus for my 89% filled hard disks :) However, my problem is that some of those programs that I don't think are necessary may in fact be used by others that are essential. I haven't had time to even fully flesh out a mechanism for setting up a config file/dependency list for such a project. > > Thanks, > > Doug > > *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest > *** Internet Relay Chat server. 4,168 clients and still growing. :-) > *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) > *** Part of the DALnet IRC network *** -- John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions System Administrator @denver.net/Internet-Coach/@ronan.net & Network Engineer 1031 S.

Everything looks fine except the Akia box doesn't start to send TCP SYN after the ARP exchange. Any advise will be appreciated.

I'll try to be brief. The term ``link count'' is generally used to refer to the count maintained in the inode of the file system -- it is used to count the number of hard links to a file. A ``ls -l'' shows this count. The file system code in the kernel maintains an in-core copy of the inode for each file that is open. The kernel maintains a ``reference'' count in the ``struct file'' (sys/file.h, f_count) for each successful open(2) system call. The two counts are not related. In order for a file to be deleted, both counts must be zero. When a file is closed, the reference count drops by one. When an unlink(2) -- rm uses unlink -- is done, the link count drops by one. Only when both counts are zero will the file system code actually delete the file by adding the blocks formerly used by the file's data back to the free space blocks on the file system. Doug's statement that ``as long as a file is still open, it will not be deleted'' is correct. But this is because the reference count is not yet zero -- the link count is indeed zero in this case (but you can't see this since there is no way to do a ``ls -l'' on what used to be the file because the directory entry is now gone.) Dave Bodenstab imdave@mcs.net PS. Some of *my* terminology is no doubt dated -- ``vnodes'' now seem to be used throughout the kernel, and I haven't studied kernel sources for so long that I can't say anything about them. I think that the on-disk structure that maintains the link count -- the old system 5 file system inode -- is used to construct the some of the contents of the in-memory vnode -- but the basic idea that there are two counts is correct.

I decided to give it a go on my test system, and it's working fine. I thought I'd pass this info on in case anyone else is interested in trying it. First off, to make it work edit /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h, changing MAXLOGNAME to 18, and /usr/src/include/utmp.h changing UT_NAMESIZE to 16. Now do a make world. :) This will let you have usernames of 16 charachters or less. It was originally reported that the value of MAXLOGNAME should be 17, but when I tried that I got an error from setusercontext( ) when I tried logging in with a 16 char username, although a 15 char username worked. So far everything seems pretty happy with the 16 character names. The ps has a problem with lining things up, and gnuls truncates the names to 8. Anyone have a suggestion about gnuls? I really like it, but not seeing the whole uid/gid is getting confusing. :) I'm going to try colorls when I get a chance. FreeBSD's ls handles the long names just fine after the make world. The only other thing I had to change so far was adduser. There is a check to see if the username is >8 characters, I just changed it to 16 (once in the code, and once in the warning message) and it worked fine.

The machine has no CD drive of its own or ethernet (yet), so I installed over lp0 using NFS from a machine (host2) with a CD. No problem. Later, just experimenting, I attempted to do a dump(8) from host1 to a tape drive on host2 "dump -a -f host2:/dev/rst0 /usr". Somewhere in pass IV (regular files) all disk activity on host1 stopped. After giving it about 5 minutes, I hit ^C and answered "yes" to abort the dump. host1 then rebooted (no panic message, just "syncing disks... automatic reboot in 15 sec..., and nothing in /var/log/messages once it came back up). Meanwhile, host2 (which is still running 2.2.2R) gave the message "panic: sbdrop" and also rebooted. Looking in the source, I found sbdrop() in /usr/src/sys/kern/uipc_socket2.c but I do not know the context well enough to understand what circumstances cause the panic condition. Both before and after all this took place the network connection worked fine for everything else (telnet, ftp, NFS, etc.). Can anyone tell me what sort of event in general will cause a "panic: sbdrop"? Was there something wrong with what I was trying to do? Or am I asking too much from lp0 as a network interface? Thanks.

OK, I'll give it a try trusting that someone on this list will quickly correct me if I'm wrong. :-) So don't bet your life on this just yet. Disks have both character and block device interfaces, such as rfd0 and fd0 for the first floppy. To use the character interface, a program must obey the block size (generally 512 bytes) when specifying offsets and amounts for a transfer (ie. they must be multiples of 512). The transfer is done directly to the program address space. This kind of fits the nature of dd (among others). The block device allows the user program to specify offsets and sizes for transfers that do not fall on sector boundaries by doing the math to decide which whole blocks need to actually be read (to a buffer in the kernel) and then copying precisely what the user program asked for to/from that program's address space. So there is this extra copy step but this also means that subsequent accesses to the same data can be serviced from the kernel buffers (if still intact) without having to synchronously access the disk every time. This kind of fits with filesystem access, so you always mount the block device. Now, what I can't specifically explain is why dd and/or the whole system loses its mind if you try to go through the block device. I am interested in understanding this better.

I partioned the hard disk to have a FreeBSD swap and filesystem partition. I have Linux already installed on another partition. But when I try to make my only filesystem partition as root, I get a message saying something like the partition is too big or there is something wrong with the location. Well I tried sizes varying from 20M to 300M for the root partition and still no luck. What am I doing wrong?

I just replied to your message in the NetBSD list as well. I think the problem is that you are running out of mbuf clusters (even though you have the setting really high already). Can you monitor that with "netstat -m" and make sure that the second figure in the ratio of mbuf clusters in use is never more than 6000? -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
