I'll talk samba only. For the package install mount cdrom #1, su to root and issue `pkg_add -v samba-1.9.15p8.tgz' and see if that doesn't work. For building ports, mount cdrom #2, su to root, go into the ports directory ie. `cd /usr/ports/net/samba' make and after good build, make install.

I figure you probably have a good install but are not getting booted properly. Did you, per chance install good ole FreeBSD on the second hard disk? If so and I assume you are getting the boot prompt or you would never get mount panic try: `1:wd(1,a)/kernel' at this point and see if it mounts. This assumes ide hard disk. If you instead installed fbsd on the first hard drive and have nasty bg's system installed already and tried to put fbsd above cylinder 1024, you will have make room below this cylinder limit and reinstall. If this doesn't help, fill in the blanks, and will go from there.

Other vt's console messages were media changed. Got invalid device or some such when trying to dismount it.

Ya I know, but its the *amount* of time I had it running for straight...it was pushing over a 100 hours of run time at that point. But at this point this post is mute...last night at 2:01am for no reason I can discern from the logs, the system rebooted on its own. Cron stuff runs at 2am to email me about latest stuff from the system. I didnt get that message, and I turned on the monitor to a login prompt. Last message in message log was media changed at 2am then at 2:01 am I get the log of the machine rebooting. Weird, but everything seems ok, cd mounts and umounts fine now! :) thanks!

You said the first hard drive is on the primary channel and the second one is on the secondary channel. From this I hear that both hard drives are in the master position of both channels. I think you need a different command at the boot: prompt.

FreeBSD had the best performance in the short run, pulling to an early lead with 100 users, then falling back, we believe, because of some resource bottleneck, but the OS did not produce an error condition to alert us. BSD built on FreeBSD's This thread came up on this list awhile ago. It seems the company that did these tests did not recompile the FreeBSD kernel with MAXMEM, since the machines had 128MB. So the other machines really had double the memory. It would have been interesting to see how it fared with the same amount. I would not be surprised if it came out on top...

What does this mean? netstat traverses some data structures in the kernel without locking them. This means that it may follow a pointer while the kernel is updating its structures, causing it to attempt to access non-existent data. This is what you get as result. One way to lessen the chance of this happening is running netstat -n, which will execute faster with less chance of the structures changing on the fly.

With older versions the best chance you have is renaming your disks. Assuming you don't have a wd1 disk (i.e. a disk that's a slave on the primary controller) you can do the following: 1. Edit your kernel config file, commenting out the line for wd1 and changing the line for wd2 to read wd1 instead (change just the name, leave all parameters the same). 2. Edit /etc/fstab and change all references to wd2 into references to wd1. This will have the effect of naming your second disk wd1 instead of wd2, which should make the boot code heapier.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, I've been using Linux on my P5 for awhile now. I've always wanted to try out FreeBSD though, but I never did because my Pentium isnt really allowed any down time. Well, I recently put together a 486 with 12m of ram and 200m of HD space for the reason of putting FreeBSD on it for evaluation. I installed the bins and manpages, and am now trying to get the 486 slipped to the Pentium to complete installation. Theres the rub. :) 10.0.0.5 is the pentium 10.0.0.48 is the 486 I know that the Linux series of commands gets it slipped to another Linux machine with no trouble. The series of commands (that actually matter for this discussion, anyhow) are: setserial /dev/cua1 spd_vhi # gets ready for 115.2 slattach -c /dev/cua1 38400 # 38400 with spd_vhi reponds as 115200 ifconfig sl0 10.0.0.5 pointopoint 10.0.0.48 up route add 10.0.0.48 when this series of commands is run on two Linux machines, ping will respond at this point. On the BSD side I do.. slattach -c -h -l -s 115200 /dev/cuaa0 ifconfig sl0 10.0.0.48 10.0.0.5 up Ok.. now.. I went through the faq and set the ifconfig statement up in /etc/rc.conf .. thats all fine.. ip's are all set up. In theory, all I should have to do (so far as I understand the FAQ) is issue the slattach statement. I do that, and a netstat -r gives me a default route of 10.0.0.5 ..fine, the Linux machine will do ip masqing .. the route to 10.0.0.5 is 10.0.0.48 .. this doesnt seem right to me, and indeed.. a ping of 10.0.0.5 just sits there. I set the Linux machine to ping the 486, and then did an slstat on BSD, it reports a punch of incoming packets. I assume that this means that Linux is all ready to talk.. BSD just isnt responding to the pings, so that leads me to believe that the BSD routing table isnt set up correctly. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've setup UUCP on the FreeBSD box. When I send mail to an account on the FreeBSD box, the Host dutifully queues it for delivery. I know this because I have a shell account on the Host and I can verify its queued status using uustat. When I call into the Host from the FreeBSD box (using uucico), the mail is picked up. How do I know that? The log on the Host indicates it, there is no longer any outbound mail queued for the FreeBSD box on the Host, and if I send a long message, the modem connect time is much longer than it is when no messages are queued. In short, I'm strongly convinced that the queued messages are getting transferred from the Host to the FreeBSD box. The problem is that I can't seem to figure out where they're going. The mail is not received by the addressee. If I use find to search the entire system for files that were created today, there is none that I can't account for (i.e., nothing that could be the missing mail).

I have two MOOs running on the system, which is almost exclusively devoted to them. When I start up the smaller (about 4 megs) of the two MOOs under my account, called kender, all is fine. The other MOO is larger (around 8megs database), but when I try starting it up with the other running, I get a panic of the moo's server from memory allocation. If I start it up under root's perms, all is fine. This has also happened on a box that is similar, after the login.conf was installed.. We have determined that the problem may be with the new login.conf. My 'kender' account may be running out of allocated memory. One of my assistants tried adding a portion to the login.conf file named kender, but it didn't seem to help. We would like to give kender infinite memory. Could you help me with how we would go about setting that up? I wonder if we just didn't miss a step/setting. tia, Bonnie Coluccio System Administrator backpacker.laroche.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 23 12:32:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA29695 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 12:32:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: (from jmb@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA29689; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 12:32:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jmb) From: "Jonathan M.

FreeBSD was using 1/2 the memory used by the other systems. FreeBSD was conservative in determinghte amount of memory installed.

I have been using linux for awhile, but I want to try FreeBSD as well. I got a 4 CD distribution of 2.2.5 from Walnut Creek CD-Rom and installed it on the 2nd partition of my 2nd hard drive. I have linux on the 2nd partition of my first hard drive and when I want linux, I boot into dos (first partition of 1st hard drive) and use loadlin to boot into it. I have an atapi CD-Rom drive, and the 2 hard drives are EIDE on one controller. FIRST question: When I installed FreeBSD, it changed my MBR so that it gives me choices, if I hit F1 it goes to DOS, if I hit F5 it goes to my 2nd hard drive and gives me F2 as a choice for FreeBSD. Those work fine, but there are choices that specify linux, only they don't work. It would be nice if it really could let me choose linux, is that a possibility? SECOND question: The 2nd CD-rom of the set I got from Walnut Creek is supposed to be a 'live file system' that you can use by specifying some option from the boot floppy. Maybe that doesn't work when the CD-Rom is atapi but it would certainly be nice for doing repairs, like changing fstabs when I move the jumpers around on the backs of my hard drives). Actually, it would be nice to just have a loadlin like utility to run from DOS to let me boot this or that O/S, does such a thing exist for FreeBSD? -TIA Carl Weidling From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 23 13:19:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id NAA02342 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 13:19:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from moogle.netopia.com (s13.usr-wwi-tampa.ww-interlink.net [209.12.134.15]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id NAA02337 for ; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 13:19:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mog@moogle.netopia.com) Received: from moogle.netopia.com [209.12.134.15] by moogle.netopia.com [127.0.0.1] with SMTP (MDaemon.v2.6.rA.b6.32-T) for ; Sun, 23 Nov 97 16:19:30 -0500 From: "Scott McRae" To: Subject: lib.so Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 16:19:29 -0500 Message-ID: <01bcf855$7bfcb980$0f860cd1@moogle.netopia.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0023_01BCF82B.9326B180" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0023_01BCF82B.9326B180 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I keep getting an error about a lib.so.

If you have problems, please let me know--this is going to press any day now. Greg Login classes In UNIX tradition, root has been the owner of the universe. In a large installation, this is rather primitive, and the 4.3BSD Net/2 relase introduced a new concept, login classes, which determine session accounting, resource limits and user environment settings. Various programs in the system use the database described in /etc/login.conf to set up a user's login environment and to enforce policy, accounting and administrative restrictions. The login class database also provides the means by which users are able to be authenticated to the system and the types of authentication available. When creating a user, you may optionally enter a class name, which should match an entry in/etc/login.conf--see page 135 for more details. If you don't, the system will use the entry default for a non-root user. For the root user, the system will use the entry root if it is present, and default otherwise. The structure of the login configuration database is relatively extensive. It describes a number of parameters, many of which can have two values: a current value and a maximum value. On login, the system sets the values to the -cur (current) value, but the user may, at his option, increase the value to the -max (maximum) value. We'll look at the default entry for an example. # Example defaults # These settings are used by login(1) by default for classless users # Note that entries like "cputime" set both "cputime-cur" and "cputime-max" default:\ :cputime=infinity:\ :datasize-cur=64M:\ :stacksize-cur=64M:\ :memorylocked-cur=10M:\ :memoryuse-cur=100M:\ :filesize=infinity:\ :coredumpsize=infinity:\ :maxproc-cur=64:\ :openfiles-cur=64:\ :priority=0:\ :requirehome@:\ :umask=022:\ :tc=auth-defaults: This entry defines the following parameters: o Processes may use as much CPU time as they want. If you change this, you can stop processes which use more than a specific amount of CPU time. o The current maximum sizes of the user data segment and the stack are set to 64 MB. The entry doesn't define maximum values for these parameters. o The user may lock a maximum of 10 MB of memory per process. o The total memory use per process may not exceed 100 MB. o There is no limit on the size of data files or core dump files that the user may create. o The user may have up to 64 processes. o Each process may have up to 64 open files. For some programs, this could be a limitation. o The user need not have a home directory in order to log in. The @ symbol specifies that the preceding symbol (requirehome) should be undefined. As a result, the system does not require the home directory. o By default, the umask is set to 022. See page 162 for more details of umask. o The system uses the default authentication scheme for this user. See the man page on page 879 for further details. Referring to other classes If you want to create a new class, you don't have to start from scratch. You can derive the defaults from a different class. For example, if you have one user on the system who uses a lot of memory, you might create a class like this: glutton:\ :tc=default:\ :memoryuse-cur=infinity: The property tc refers to the default class. A good example of this is the xuser class, designed for the needs of X11 users: xuser:\ :manpath=/usr/share/man /usr/X11R6/man /usr/local/man:\ :cputime=4h:\ :datasize=12M:\ :stacksize=4M:\ :filesize=8M:\ :memoryuse=16M:\ :openfiles=32:\ :maxproc=48:\ :tc=standard: In this example, you'll notice also that the class definition defines a default for the environment variable MANPATH.

Both of them. You need to specify the names of at least two name servers to register a domain, but they don't need to be running at that point. On the other hand, they should be running as soon as the domain is registered, and since it doesn't do any harm to have them running before, I'd suggest that you set up the name server first.

Definitely FreeBSD. Linux is just a kernel, and to make it complete, you need a "distribution", of which there are several. FreeBSD is a complete system.

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.

Can >anyone help me figure out what's happening to these messages? This actually sounds more like a sendmail problem than an UUCP one. It does indeed appear that the messages are getting transmitted as you suspect. Here are some things to check: 1. Does the "rmail" binary exist, and is it runnable by the uucp user? Be sure it's in a standard location in the path (/bin or /usr/bin would be a good place). 2. Make sure sendmail is running (check /etc/rc.conf). 3. Make sure sendmail is configured to "know" about UUCP. TO do this, look at the example sendmail configuration files (see /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf. If thsi directory doesn't exist, install the "src" distribution). - --- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.

The order really doesn't matter. In the past, when I've registered a domain, I've generally done it this way: 1. Prepare the InterNIC registration form. (See `http://rs.internic.net/') In it, you'll specify a primary and at least one secondary name server. Judging from your email, one of your machines will be the primary. 2. Send the template to `hostmaster@internic.net'. Be sure to send in your $100. :-/ 3. Add the appropriate DNS entries to the primary and secondary name servers. Note that it doesn't matter whether the NIC has fulfilled the domain creation request yet. The machines on your network will think the domain exists because they're looking at your DNS, and your DNS claims that it's primary for the domain. The outside world *won't* know it exists, because it isn't in the NIC's tables yet, so no one knows to even ask your DNS about it. 4. Wait for the NIC to acknowledge the domain creation. You can do #3 first, if you want. It doesn't matter. Think it through; you'll see why. :-) Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking. -- H. L.

How can I do the boot disk? Please send messages of this nature to FreeBSD-questions, not FreeBSD-doc, which is dedicated to documenting the FreeBSD system. The floppy image is exactly 1474560 bytes long. I don't know how you got 1,546,706 bytes. Some people will tell you it's because you used ASCII mode transfer (which is likely), but that doesn't explain the size: an ASCII transfer of the 2.2.5 boot floppy produces 1479138 bytes.

How can I do the boot disk? You need to use a special program that I think you'll find in the tools/ directory (should have the same parent directory as wherever you got boot.flp, I think) to copy boot.flp onto the floppy.

I'm currently overclocking my P5-233MMX to 266 MHz on an Asus P/I P55T2P4 motherboard by setting the bus speed to 75 MHz instead of 66 MHz that Intel recommends. This motherboard has an undocumented (well, at least by the manufacturer) bus speed of 83 MHz. The major draw back to overclocking is heat and the accelerated bus speed causes some PCI cards to not work. I was able to bring my system up at 83 MHz, but my SCSI controller (an old 2940) would work correctly. The above link gives you a ton of info.

I'm just trying to clarify what I'm talking about. Processor overclocking By increasing the processor multiplier it is possible (with some P5's and 6's) to run the processor at a clock speed higher than it's box label says it should go. Bus overclocking Increasing the bus clock above the setting normal for that Processor has the effect of overclocking the bus _and_ the processor at the same time. Big win! Tom's hardware page explaines it so much better than the couple of paragraphs above. Intel produced a hell of a lot of Pentium class processors that were not able to be Processor overclocked. Bus overclocking is the only avenue open to people with that sort of processor. Generally these were "Boxed Set" processors - the after market type.

I have two machines at home - both P55T2P4's, both Hardware Rev 3.0 - not the recommended 3.1 Hardware revision of the motherboard. In the FreeBSD box I have a P133 processor bus overclocked to 166MHz and an Adaptec 2940UW that goes like a bat out of hell at this bus speed. Thank you Intel! This machine has 64MB of RAM - 70ns fast page with _no_ memory timing backoffs. 8-) In the Win95 box, (no flames please! 8-) ), I have a P166MMX processor bus overclocked to 210MHz and an Adaptec 2940 BIOS Rev 1.21. The T2P4's BIOS tells me it's only found a 200MHz processor, but that's because the BIOS rev (2.5 I think) doesn't support processors above 200MHz. In fact it _is_ running at 210MHz. BIOS rev 2.6 fixes the display problem but I haven't applied it. This machine has 32MB of 60ns EDO RAM with no memory timing backoffs. Heat is not a problem for either of these processors, although I don't know what a P233MMX behaves at 83MHz. I've been running these machines for > 6 months now with only one noticable problem. Some sound programs don't work correctly at the higher bus speed. This may be because there is a software timing issue that is sensitive to bus speed. It only happens on the FreeBSD box in "amp" (of winamp fame). From memory, most other audio apps are fine on the unix and Win95 machines. Processor temperature If I touch either of the processors - I was concerned about heat too - they are slightly warm to the touch, but certainly _not_ hot. My definition of a hot processor is "unpleasantly warm", I am conservative! A couple of tips Cache RAM If you have less than 64MB of system memory and you want to bus overclock your machine to 83 MHz, make _sure_ you pull out any aftermarket add-in cache RAM module. Only trust the cache RAM on the Motherboard or you will more than likely only achieve 75MHz bus speed. The reason? ASUS, (the Good Guys) put _fast_ cache ram (6 or 8ns I think) on the motherboard, they had to for the 83MHz bus speed didn't they 8-) Any Cache module you plugged in afterwards probably uses 12-15ns RAM which is far too slow for 83MHz. System RAM If you have good 70ns Fast Page RAM and you're currently running a 66MHz bus machine, there's an _extremely_ good chance you can overclock the bus to 83MHz. Simply set the memory speed timings to defaults in the appropriate PCI config page and give it a try. The BIOS has a feature to reset all of a page's parameters to default. I've bus overclocked probably a dozen or more 'T2P4's with a mixture of RAM types, mostly 70ns Fast Page RAM and I've been sucsessful _every_ time. SCSI Controllers I can't say anything about controllers other than Adaptec, except that NCR controllers seem to just work without problems from everything I've read. Adaptec controllers however, _must_ have a BIOS revision of 1.21 or later or you're out of luck. I had one of the early cards, so I upgraded to a new 2940UW (best value for a server with lots of disk) and the old 2940 BIOS rev 1.16 is now in my 14YO son's P100 FreeBSD box. Card Problems I don't have any problems with Video cards (1 X S3 Virge and 1 S3 Trio 64V+) ISA cards behave well in both machines 1 X AST 4 port serial card, I X GUS audio card, 1 X SB16 non-PNP audio card. In general, bus overclock and you should be very happy with the results. Sorry for the long posting.

Try a normal boot, when it pukes and asks you to select a shell, manually run fsck and mount the file system w/o 's1', if this works, if then edit /etc/fstab appropriately.

LOL, good luck getting NT to support 3000 users. However, I noticed upon reading this that Linux will automagically detect SMP systems (and I already know NT can kinda do this), that'd be cool if FBSD could do this too. - alex From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 23 23:36:17 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA12068 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 23:36:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from Kitten.mcs.com (Kitten.mcs.com [192.160.127.90]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id XAA12051 for ; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 23:36:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from font@Jupiter.Mcs.Net) Received: from Jupiter.Mcs.Net (font@Jupiter.mcs.net [192.160.127.88]) by Kitten.mcs.com (8.8.5/8.8.2) with ESMTP id BAA09655; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 01:36:14 -0600 (CST) Received: from localhost (font@localhost) by Jupiter.Mcs.Net (8.8.7/8.8.2) with SMTP id BAA22653; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 01:36:13 -0600 (CST) Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 01:36:13 -0600 (CST) From: Font To: "Jesse, Roland" cc: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: NIS client setup 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 Bill Paul wrote a reply to a question of mine in a similar vein, which I missed, but luckily found on my news server again. You can look it up on Deja News with a subject of "NIS/YP subnets and slave servers" in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. Basically, if the server and the client are on different subnets, it won't work. This may be changed in the future. But for right now, what you probably need to do is to make this client also a slave server, use ypxfr to manually copy over all the maps from the master to the slave server, and add the slaver server to the master's ypservers file. After all that's done, you can then make the client bind to itself, and since it's a slave server it should get the updates from the server fine. Of course, if the master isn't FreeBSD, then I have no idea whether this would work or not, all bets are off. But at this point the client can only bind to a server on the same subnet, due to the way the client searcher for the server. A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers font to be sent to beneficiaries and senders of UCE/SPAM. @ mcs.net Wishes are like dishes.

Are you closing any applications that may be accessing that file system cleanly before you do the shutdown? You might want to try doing that if you're not, and see if that improves your situation. By closing cleanly I mean using the program's options to terminate it, or a simple kill (not kill -9).

I did this in the past for a Linux install and all was fine. The problem comes when you want to 'grow' the C partition using 'fips'. It seems that fips will not enlarge a partition, only shrink one. It was a while since I used fips, so maybe it's fixed now. The only way to get your space back on C is either to repartition the disk (complete reinstall), or find a program like 'fips' that will enlarge an existing partition. Maybe that program 'partition magic' will do it for you. This costs money though :-(.

The setup is as follows: FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE is NFS and NIS server. The client is Solaris-2.6. I can login, read write and so on, the home directory was mounted through automount and I also tried to mount it manually without automount. The problem: I can't run top, sysinfo, lsof (programs that access /dev/kmem) It takes to netscape about 5 minutes to startup, but after that I can't close it. Another thing, when the home directory is on solaris everything works fine. Also, when I login as root on solaris and then make su - user and then run top, and other programs, everything works. NetBSD on the same computer instead of solaris works OK. There was no problems when the client was solaris-2.5.1 Any clues ? TIA, --Yuri.

So far everything works fine EXCEPT my mouse. I have a serial mouse, standard Microsoft or mouse system compatible. I am attempting to use it on mouse system setting. When I enter x-win everything seems fine until I use my mouse. I then receive the following messages printed to every xterm which is initially opened. The following messages occur only when the mouse is being utilized. If the mouse is sitting still, I do not receive any messages.

Needless to say, my mouse does not work correctly. Things can even get violent at times. No, the mouse did not work correctly during the XF86Setup program. The mouse moves down ok, but when the mouse goes up it jumps to the top of the screen. The three buttons all work correctly. Also, the rate of movement is extremely fast. My system contains a serial card. The original serial ports built into the baseboard are not recognized by FreeBSD 2.2. I placed the card in and everything worked fine. The serial ports are recognized. I have the standard sio configuration which is set by default. I would appreciate anyone giving me some direction on this issue. Thanks in advance.

During initial installation, I get the message: /mnt/dev/wd0s1f on /mnt/usr Invalid argument and a bit later another message just like the above except about a different filesystem (swap maybe?)... I suspect the problem is with the hard drive/controller, so here's more info on those: Disk: 1224 cylinders, 15 heads, (35,36) RLL sectors/track Supposedly with ESDI you set the CMOS bios to drive type 1 no matter what. The bios doesn't support user defined hard drive types, just a stock list (all less than 1024 cylinders, hum..). The controller bios (debug, g=c800:5) lets you set special options, either 17spt, 63spt, or no translation at all. I've tried all of these with exactly the same results. Just to check out the drive I installed DOS 5.0 on it, and it formats fine. I searched the mailinglist archives and couldn't find anything specific about this. I'm at a dead end on this one with a deadline to meet . Any ideas?

I setup an anonymous FTP client, but I would rather setup an ordinary FTP client that would log through the user/passwd scheme. This client should not be allowed anywhere but the the directory where we hold the downloadable files we use to measure the performance of cable modems on the field. The setup was straightforward. I closely follow the instructions, along with the manual (man descriptions). I setup an anonymous client that created the directory structure I needed automatically (incoming, pub, etc, bin) along with all the necessary files. I modified the FTPUSER file to include the ANONYMOUS user, so the systen would deny anonymous access. I created a file named FTPCHROOT and included in it a client TECH so it would follow an anonymous client behavior with the same restricted privilege. Everything is just fine, execpt in one point: When the user TECH logs in, he does not see any directory nor file informations; just a blank screen. LS and CD are useless. Nothing seem to happen. I uploaded a file, and checked the server: the file appeared on the server. But nothing on the client side. I just cant see files. What's wrong ? Please help.

I'd have thought that the firmware would recognise a tape written in compressed format. You might try playing around with the density codes (they should be available in you manual, or failing that they can be found somewhere in the compression support section at www.exabyte.com). These can be used with the `mt density' command, and can be used to select compression modes etc. John ----------------------------------------------------- John McLaughlin | Acucobol Ireland Ltd IS Manager, Europe | Burlington House e-Mail: jmcl@acucobol.ie | Waterloo Lane WWW: http://www.acucobol.com| Dublin4, Ireland | Ph: +353 1 6676166 | Fax: +353 1 6676130 ----------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 24 05:53:40 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id FAA03515 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 05:53:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from iglou2 (exim@iglou2.iglou.com [192.107.41.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id FAA03509 for ; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 05:53:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from patrick@cre8tivegroup.com) Received: from gateway.cre8tivegroup.com [204.255.227.120] by iglou2 with smtp (8.7.3/8.6.12) id 0xZywz-0003KB-00; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 08:53:22 -0500 Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.1 [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 08:52:36 -0500 (EST) Organization: The Creative Group From: Patrick Gardella To: sporkl@dti.net Subject: RE: Upclocking Cc: freebsd questions Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This is a *touchy* issue.

I specified that "NMBCLUSTERS=4096". Does this mean that the system has 4096 Mbuf clusters available? 2. If #1 is yes, then why did I get an "out of mbuf clusters" error when the system had only used 1136? (I was reading the numbers correctly, I just explained it poorly :-) ) 3. Does the generic kernel (with max users set to 100 and maxmem set to 96megs) allocate more mbufs than my custom kernel with maxusers set to 128 and NMBCLUSTERS set to 4096? The reason I ask this is because the slightly modified kernel was able to attain a maximum of 2318 mbufs where as the modified kernel was only able to get to 1136. 4. What would you suggest I set NMBCLUSTERS and/or maxusers to?

Kernel rebuilding is a minor task in FreeBSD and is part of its installation and no more difficult than any other part. It takes only a few minutes to configure the kernel build config file to recognize your memory, and less than an hour (on a P150 w/64 mb, not your steroid machines) to recompile and install. I think that's a lot less programmer time than NT'ds menus take, let alone their config files. That done, my P150 could blow any of your PPro180's off the block as a webserver. I should add that I am not a UNIX guru, have only been using FreeBSD for less than 2 years as a small portion of my job. That said, the article was reasonably unbiased and well written. I enjoyed its insightful comparisons, and learned perhaps a little of what I'm missing by not buying BSDi or SCO, although I'd be missing a whole lot of cash, too. I think that fairness would dictate that you do a follow-up that allows each server to be tweaked by its OS experts for 6 hours (by hand... no super turn-it-inside-out scripts) after being installed out-of-the-box, and then re-run your tests. You also should stipulate that there be no asynchronous disk writes unless everybody is allowed to do so. Linux uses async mounting, and it gives them a catch-up but it is dangerous on a real-world server, no matter how good your UPS.

What would you suggest I set NMBCLUSTERS and/or maxusers to? 4096 and 128 is probably fine for a medium loaded WWW server.

So where do I get them? 1. Mount CDROM with packages tree on it (I think it's on Disc 1, 2.1.5 is over two years old!) 2. cd /cdrom/packages/category 3.

The ports system provides an automated way to build a package from it's original source; the packages tree does that already and bundles up the results. Packages are nice if you don't have the space to compile and/or the CPU power to build, and are willing to accept any build-time default options. The ports tree gives you more freedom but you have to actually build the program.

I forgot to try this when I swiped our spare Zip. I think it should work OK if the ZIP is either DOS-formatted or BSD-formatted. In the DOS case it should think it's a DOS hard disk and give you the option in DOS install. For the BSD case I think it should treat it as a UFS install. In both cases you must have the cart in the drive at boot time.

Any thoughts/comments? The Ultra33 drives are OK, they'll run fine in standard mode. If you really want to tap them you have to run -current.

The GUS PnP series is quite well supported BUT the GUS is no longer in production. :-( Next step is the Crystal CS4231 cards.

Maybe eventually, we can run exactly the same kernel, but there is necessarily more overhead in an SMP kernel. (I like the SMP's utilization of the APIC, mitigating some of the limitations of the ISA IRQ scheme. It might be nice to use them on a UP kernel.) -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 24 12:14:13 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA00790 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 12:14:13 -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 MAA00778 for ; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 12:14:09 -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 MAA12943; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 12:14:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 12:14:07 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Jason Alan Nordwick cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: cannot add new disk In-Reply-To: <199711212136.NAA05008@graft.XCF.Berkeley.EDU> 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, 21 Nov 1997, Jason Alan Nordwick wrote: > > running -2.2 I have been trying to add a new drive to my system. > I read the FAQ question and think that I have done everything correctly, > but I get these magic number errors and newfs says that the device > is not configures, here is what I do: I would highly suggest referencing http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/ for information.

Apparently this problem is unique with the Intel Atlanta board where the latest bios is not passing the boot drive number along to the bootstrap code (I hope I worded this right...). A gentleman passed along a patch to the biosboot code which takes care of this problem by forcing it to boot off the primary drive (drive 0x80). This fixed my problem and I am now cruising happily along at 300MHz :-).

Yes, however you'll need a pretty old version of the guspnp package since around rev 17 they based off of -current instead of 2.2.x. I have guspnp11 which works great; I can make that available should you need it.

Run top while running netscape and keep an eye on it's memory footprint and swap usage. You may have too little swap. Also try upgrading to 3.04; I wonder if 3.01 had a memory leak.

This depends on how the Kayak presents the disks. If it presents them as two separate disks, you'll need to figure out what's where. If it treats all the disks in the array as one gigantic disk, you need to figure out where you other disk came from. > Was I right in thinking so, or is there no danger by installing > FreeBSD? Use FDISK and get a good idea of what's where, then try again. You may find it helpful to look at the boot probes and see what was assigned to what; hit SCROLL-LOCK then use the arrow keys from the main install menu.

I've had the identical problem when I had a point-to-point Ethernet with an OS/2 box and a FreeBSD machine. It's all a matter of routing. I'd suggest checking out the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.freebsd.org/ and see if that gives you any insight.

How to boot other OS's on a disk other than the one NT is on by copying the boot sector of the disk to a file and referencing it in Windows NT boot.ini does not seem to work unless the other OS's boot partition resides on the same disk as NT. Mine doesn't. I tried anyway, and my system will not boot. I attempted to put a standard (no prompt) boot loader on disk1 (or disk2) and it didn't work either. I was using the /stand/sysintall utility. I managed to get my system booting by using the FreeBSD boot disk and entering 1:sd(1,a)/kernel at the floppy boot prompt. I guess what I really want to do is to install a boot loader on disk0 that does exactly what I manually entered so that the NT boot loader is not displayed. At this time I should be able to copy the boot sector from drive 0 and copy it to a file, then restore the original boot sector of disk0 and reference the file I just created in Windows NT boot.ini. Is this warped thinking? I have looked at all the FAQ's I can and done searches on the mailing list archives and was able to find very detailed instructions and theory on how to boot FreeBSD from the NT boot loader if FreeBSD is on the same disk as NT. I also do not trust sysinstall to do the right thing every time. There must be a manual (configurable) way to install a boot loader explicitly telling it which drive to load the kernel from, but I just cannot find it. In my mind, my solution should be simple, but finding documentation seems to be my biggest problem.

So far I'm impressed with this solution and speed. However, right now I have one big logical 13GIG drive. When I tried breaking this down into reasonable sizes I ran out of allowable device names. Trying to make additional devices (IE MAKEDEV sd0s1i) doesn't seem allowable (wipes out all the other sds1x devices too). So Instead, the RAID system has the ability to separate out logical devices into mulitple LUNs. Doing this however, doesn't work as it looks like FreeBSD doesn't support multiple LUNs as only LUN 0 shows up. I'd much perfer to make more devices instead of LUNs anyways. How do you make more SCSI devices for a single physical drive then what is currently a default of what appears to be 6? Or if that's not possible, is there a multiple LUN support option I'm missing somewhere? My controller is a 2940UW in case that matters.

I was running TOP at the same time which said I had plenty of free memory, ~50MB (It's REALLY hard to believe that running only AccelX, top, pppd and Netscape w/ no other users logged in that I could consume 128MB of memory and not touch my swap file!). What bought me a few extra pages was to blast both my memory and disk caches. Unfortunately that's only a band-aid which doesn't last very long before Netscape starts whining again. My long term solution was to stop surfing when I reached that point (kinda used it as a timer to limit my web surfing :-) ). (BTW, yes I did rebuild my kernel w/ MAXMEM=131072 and top was able to see all my memory) - - burton - On Mon, 24 Nov 1997, Doug White wrote: > On Fri, 21 Nov 1997, Alan Char wrote: > > > I just got FreeBSD 2.2.5 from Walnut Creek CD-ROM and upgraded from > > 2.2.2.

So I decided to get down and dirty and hack the kernel.. Well with the help of the debugger and alittle poking around I found it.. The debugger reported: Stop at identblue+0x31: wrmsr Trace showed: identblue() finishidentcpu() init386() I went into sys/i386/386/identcpu.c and changed the identblue() function to always return 0 (as i know my Chip isn't a blue lighting). My kernel now boots fine and I haven't seen any ill effects from it yet.. the CPU is also detected properly Altho the Speed is alittle slow. But I don't understand how that is calculated so I'll leave it up to the real hackers :) Hope that helps someone..

I have pretty much screwed myself I think. In trying to get all the X source in the right place, I mangled everything in the file structer after /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ and after /usr/include/X11/. What should be in either one of those directories is in one, the other, or both. This is bad. When I got sick of trying to save this for two hours, I went and had dinner, relaxed, etc. I came back, started X, (using twm) and *everything is monochrome*. I don't know how this happened, but twm says that all the colors defined in my system.twmrc are undefined. I must have put the color declaration files in the wrong place, or worse, deleted them. I can live with mono X for now, but could you tell me what exactly should be in the directories directly mounted on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/, and what files define my colors? Thank you, I hope I don't have to re-install X, but at least I haver time off for thanksgiving to fix this. 8-( -Spike Gronim sporkl@dti.net "Tradition is the chastity belt of the mind" From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 24 17:43:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA24433 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 17:43:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from implode.root.com (implode.root.com [198.145.90.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA24416 for ; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 17:43:36 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from root@implode.root.com) Received: from implode.root.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by implode.root.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA11645; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 17:45:11 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199711250145.RAA11645@implode.root.com> To: Burton Sampley cc: Alan Char , questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD 2.2.5 out of memory?

If you dont have a NMBCLUSTERS= line then they are set to (512 + MAXUSERS * 16). nmbufs are then set to 4 times that amount. GENERIC with 100 users would have (512 + 100 * 16) * 4 = 8448 nmbufs.

Rhapsody is meant to ship with BSD 4.4, NeXT currently ships with BSD 4.3 (I think) and so these should be fairly similar. MkLinux is a version of Linux.

You cannot create a FreeBSD partition (slice in FreeBSD-ese) within a DOS extended partition. You need to resize the extended partition so that the free space is truly free, and in its own DOS partition. As I understand it, you should also be sure that the FreeBSD slice is close enough to the beginning of the disk to allow you to put / (the root filesystem, approx. 32M) completely within the first 504 megs of hard disk. Therefore the first DOS partition should not be larger than 470 megs. I realize this kind of repartitioning is not a trivial task, but this is what needs to be done to get it going.

The installer shows me the "unused" portion of the disk, The problem is you don't have any free space. FreeBSD needs it's own partition and it looks like all your space is allocated to the 2 dos/nt partitions. You'll need to use one of the partition tools to shrink your nt partition so you have room to create a FreeBSD partition.

I created a new home directory in /usr/home using a backup from previous FreeBSD releases. Then I edited /etc/passwd to indicate the correct home directory.

What a waste. Buy an multiport shared interrupt serial card instead. http://www.byterunner.com sells an 8-port version for about $150 and a 4-port version for about $75. They work with FreeBSD and the stock SIO driver. >But he is unsure that it is that simple in FBsd UNIX. The SIO man page explains how to set up a multiport shared interrupt card like the ones byterunner sells. It's a hard read at first, but I can send you a sample kernel config if you can't go it alone with the man page.

Why will they not just delivered as fully .tar.gz ? I hate to do a make and the port can't get all sources because the line's dead or too slow etc. Maybe there is a source for all ports which are making out of the box even on a non-networked machine, but I don't know where to find the stuff. As long as the ports-situation is that bad (maybe there are people who like it that way, maybe it's easier for them, I really hate this), I'm trying to get the source and compile by myself. This saves a lot of time which would be spent by waiting to get the real sources from freebsd.org after doing a make. Bye, Udo -- Udo Wolter, email: uwp@cs.tu-berlin.de !!!

If you're looking to add more than two and have lots of devices installed, you may want to look into the shared IRQ serial boards. There are several cheap ones available and FreeBSD supports them nicely.

I don't either; try runing `bootinst.exe' off of the /tools directory on the CDROM or ftp site. Bring boot.bin with you. That is the manual way to install booteasy.

Unfortunately System Commander has bugs that break the FreeBSD bootblocks (it twiddles bit 4 in the system id), and FreeBSD expects that to be 0xA5 and nothing else. SysCommander changes it to 0xB5 for some twisted reason.

I'll try. 3 different networks. Routers attached to leased line. With an ethernet port to connect to. This is the setup I had in mind: Remember that the IP adresses of the 3 networks are fixed because of the organisations providing the network services. There are applications running on each of these networks. Therefore when I want to be able to access all these applications on 1 computer I must be able to connect to all of them (at the same time). And yes it is TCP/IP that is used in all networks. leased line leased line leased line [x.x.x.x1/24] [y.y.y.y1/24] [z.z.z.z1/24] | | | [x.x.x.x2/24] [y.y.y.y2/24] [z.z.z.z2/24] ep0 ep1 ep2 +------------------------------------------------+ | FreeBSD server with Firwall | +------------------------------------------------+ ed0 [192.168.0.1] | +------------------------------------+ | local network | +------------------------------------+ When I would put NAT on the ed0 interface. Shouldn't I be able to communicate with the 3 different networks ? The next trouble is that from these 3 networks I also want to connect to a machine in the local network. Just to make things a bit more complicated ;-). Fixed translation from ip to ip would be the solution. Anybody have any experience with this ? I now I'm asking a lot. But it's a rather complicated situation I think.

The Web server won't allow arbitrary access to the filesystem. They either go into your server_root or they go into ~user/public_html (in the apache default setup). If a user makes a link to /etc/passwd from a personal homepage, then there isn't much you can do about that other than remove read access to those files or directories.

It isn't the hardware, we've swapped out the disk on three separate occasions with known working disks. We actually physically replaced every single component with new equipment.

The following test code will cause the same error to occur: ---------------------------------- #include #include #include main() { struct mtop mt; int result; int tapefd; #define BUFFER_SIZE (32*1024) char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE]; fprintf(stderr,"We is here.\n"); tapefd = open("/dev/nrst0", O_RDONLY); if (tapefd < 0) { perror("open"); } printstatus(tapefd); fprintf(stderr,"Rewind 1.\n"); mt.mt_op = MTREW; mt.mt_count = 1; result = ioctl(tapefd, MTIOCTOP, &mt); if (result < 0) { perror("rewind 1"); } printstatus(tapefd); result = close(tapefd); if (result) { perror("close 1"); } fprintf(stdout,"closed, now opening WRONLY\n"); tapefd = open("/dev/nrst0", O_WRONLY); if (tapefd < 0) { perror("open 2"); } printstatus(tapefd); fprintf(stderr,"Rewind 1.\n"); mt.mt_op = MTREW; mt.mt_count = 1; result = ioctl(tapefd, MTIOCTOP, &mt); if (result < 0) { perror("rewind 1"); } printstatus(tapefd); memset(buffer, '\0', BUFFER_SIZE); sprintf(buffer, "AMANDA: TAPESTART DATE %s TAPE %s\n\014\n", "X", "NET024"); result = write(tapefd, buffer, BUFFER_SIZE); if (result != BUFFER_SIZE) { if (result > 0) { perror("short write"); } } printstatus(tapefd); result = close(tapefd); if (result) { perror("close"); } fprintf(stderr,"We're out of here....\n"); return 0; } printstatus(int fd) { struct mtget status; int result; result = ioctl(fd, MTIOCGET, &status); if (result) { perror("ioctl MTIOCGET"); } fprintf(stdout,"mt_type = 0x%x\nmt_dsreg = 0x%x\nmt_erreg = 0x%x\n", status.mt_type, status.mt_dsreg, status.mt_erreg); } ------------------------ I replaced the NCR card with the 1542 and the problem went away. Went back to the NCR for more debugging. Here is what scsi says is the sense status after a rewind failure. ------------------------- scsi -f /dev/rst0.ctl -c "03 00 00 00 20 00" -i 32 - |\ hexdump -C 00000000 70 00 00 00 00 7f ff 12 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |p...............| 00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 22 f3 b1 00 00 00 00 00 00 |......."........| -------------------------- The command has also responeded as: 00000000 70 00 00 00 ff ff ff 12 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |p...............| 00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 22 f3 b1 00 00 00 00 00 00 |......."........| Here is the results of the inquire: scsi -f /dev/rst0.ctl -c "12 0 0 0 40 0" -i 64 "s8 z8 z16 z4" EXABYTE EXB-8200 252X ------------ For grins, I modified the NCR driver so that the 53c810a was treated just like it was a 53c810 as far as features was concerned, this made no difference. ------------------- Oh, the other reason I want to get away from the ADAPTEC card, it gives me DMA beyond ISA range error messages often. Often enough that I'm willing to take a few dumps of the system for anybody that wants to debug the aha driver. Thanks in advance... Christopher T. Johnson P.S. I'm running 3 weeks behind on my freebsd lists, please cc a copy of any response to my e-mail address, thanks.

Verify that the settings for sio0 are correct. Also try booting with the -v option on Boot: and check out the probe output for the sio0 device. Double check that nothing is stomping on IRQ 4 too.

But am starting to get the gist of it now. The easiest thing to is checkout the sendmail source from the FreeBSD source tree, drop into cf/cf, copy freebsd.mc to local.mc, make changes to local.mc as appropriate, then run `make' to build a new config file. Copy to /etc & kill -HUP sendmail to finish. I can do a checkout & tar.gz that up for you.

So you are trying to download stuff via modem. 1. Make sure that you are running your modem at the same speed the Win95 box is running his. 2. Make sure you enable the same options on your modem as is on the Win95 box. 3. Try switching modems and configuring appropriately. I bet that one machine has a 14.4 modem vs. a 28.8, or the modem in the FreeBSD box isn't connecting at it's fastest speed.

Um, that file brings 2.2.1 up to -STABLE just before 2.2.2-RELEASE. You should instead upgrade directly to 2.2.5. You do not need to apply any patches beforehand; just boot the floppy and select `upgrade.'

However, tcsh and other c-shell deriviatives have a timeout that you can set through /etc/cshrc.

The only way to make any system bulletproof is to understand how to configure it. Every version of U**X has it's own personality. Things that can bite you are: 1) Swap space. 2) Mbuf space. 3) Hacker attacks (very unfriendly users.) 4) Typical U**X attacks can make the system less stable and require careful tuning. (Like DOS attacks, such as forkbombs.) There are other things that can hurt also. -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Nov 25 15:04:10 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id PAA14653 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 25 Nov 1997 15:04:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from IRIS.sdps.org (sdps.org [207.86.51.37]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id PAA14605 for ; Tue, 25 Nov 1997 15:03:56 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from AZPRO.SWorthington@sdps.org) Received: by IRIS.sdps.org (950413.SGI.8.6.12/951211.SGI.AUTO) for id SAA15745; Tue, 25 Nov 1997 18:03:16 -0500 Received: from smtplink.sdps.org(192.168.51.8) by IRIS via smap (3.2) id xma015707; Tue, 25 Nov 97 18:03:01 -0500 Received: from prntsdps-Message_Server by smtplink.sdps.org with Novell_GroupWise; Tue, 25 Nov 1997 18:07:41 -0500 Message-Id: X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 4.1 Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 17:54:48 -0500 From: Scott Worthington To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Installation...

I've been subscribed with WC since 2.1.7.1R. They helped me out with a subscription problem I had with an Australian reseller who regularly screwed up my subscription - late, duplicated, never arrived - even to the extent that when the .au distributor sent (and billed me for) two copies of 2.1.7R, WC replaced _both_ of them with 2.1.7.1R (the security fix). I don't recall seeing too many companies with return and refund policies as good as WC's.

Would the controller be a 154[02]A? People have seen this before. I can't recall, but I seem to think that 8 bytes is about the reconnect length for the controller. Are they located on 8-byte boundaries? Try tweaking your controller parameters. I don't know if this would help, but it could help us work out what's wrong here.

Almost always there is documention somewhere on the distribution CD's for just about everything I have needed to do, but I just don't seem to find what I need this time.

The first several addresses were all on the same subnet. Recently, I added a new alias address on a different subnet, running on the same wire. This new subnet has a different default gateway as the original subnet, of course. If a packet comes out of the Ethernet interface with a source IP address of the new IP address, which has to be routed, I get a kernel message on the console about the default gateway for the secondary subnet not being on the same subnet. Since that's all the message says, I'm assuming the kernel is first ARP'ing for the default gateway of the second subnet through the wrong interface. To make things a bit clearer: lnc1 is on 198.137.202.16/28. The new IP alias address is on 198.137.202.32/28. The default gateway for this address is 198.137.202.33. The error message reads: Nov 25 08:03:09 mate /kernel.MATE: arplookup 198.137.202.33 failed: host is not on local network The packets do flow as expected, so presumably the kernel manages to arp through the right subinterface, but I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior. -jav From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Nov 25 19:40:40 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA10944 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 25 Nov 1997 19:40:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from vinyl.quickweb.com (vinyl.quickweb.com [209.112.4.14]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA10932 for ; Tue, 25 Nov 1997 19:40:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mark@quickweb.com) Received: (from mark@localhost) by vinyl.quickweb.com (8.8.7/8.6.12) id WAA24433; Tue, 25 Nov 1997 22:41:47 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <19971125224146.21279@vmunix.com> Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 22:41:46 -0500 From: Mark Mayo To: Doug White Cc: Philipp Reichmuth , FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: ldconfig problems References: <3479951F.41C67EA6@uni-bonn.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.85e In-Reply-To: ; from Doug White on Tue, Nov 25, 1997 at 12:57:48PM -0800 X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, Nov 25, 1997 at 12:57:48PM -0800, Doug White wrote: > On Mon, 24 Nov 1997, Philipp Reichmuth wrote: > > > Often if I try to compile a port (or whatever that uses shared > > libraries), I see the following error sequence: > > > > XXXXX==== /usr/ports/print/ghostview/ > > make================================XXXXX > > >> Checksum OK for ghostview-1.5.tar.gz. > > ===> Building for ghostview-1.5 > > rm -f ghostview > > cc -o ghostview -m486 -O2 -L/usr/X11R6/lib main.o misc.o > > callbacks.o actions.o dialogs.o Ghostview.o ps.o > > getenv.o setenv.o strcasecmp.o SelFile.o Dir.o Path.o > > Draw.o -lXaw -lXmu -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXt -lX11 -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext > > -lX11 -lm -lgnumalloc > > ld: -lgnumalloc: no match > > Yipe, 1.5 is --OLD--!

Multilink PPP, or MLPPP. I think there is a software implementation but your ISP may not support it on their end. A hardware implementation is easier to set up. I'm using an external 3Com Impact IQ ISDN T/A running Multilink PPP at 128k to my ISP's Livingston Portmaster 3. The 3Com is connected to my serial card which has clock speed jumpers for running the serial port at 230k, so I get the full 128k bandwidth across the ISDN line. I consistently get FTP throughput of 13.5 kBytes per second. The 3Com has Stac compression which is compatible with the ISP's Livingston PM3. If you can get ISDN from an ISP it's more reliable than trying to bond multiple analog modems with software MLPPP.

One thing is that you can't always expect it will "crash" a machine. Actually, what land attack did is a "self-connection", which could cause TCP enter a infinite loop, therefore degrade the system performance. Some OSes, (for example, win95 , will crash. I never test that, but the author claimed so). Fix is simple - discard the self-connection packet in tcp_input.c.

I have SCO 4.2 but want to give your application a try. I suppose it depends on what you mean by "set up". As they say, "some assembly required". I don't think it's significantly more difficult than SCO, though since you get more choice, you need to make a few more decisions. I certainly wouldn't swap it for SCO's offering.

We would like to upgrade our FreeBSD from version 2.1.0 to version 2.2.2. Our old machine (version 2.1.0) is functioning as our gateway to the internet. In configuring the old version to become a gateway just simply enable it in /etc/sysconfig gateway = "YES" and compile the kernel with the option "option GATEWAY". In version 2.2.2 the "option GATEWAY" is already obsolete just enable the "gateway_enable=YES" in /etc/rc.network file. When i tested it as a gateway I received an error " routed [63] punt RTM_LOSING without gateway". Is there any setting that I should set specifically in the kernel? Kindly help me with this, because I want to migrate to the new version. Also about the static_route. In version 2.1.0, the static_route is already specified in /etc/sysconfig. In version 2.2.2 /etc/rc.conf file it is blank. Can I just copy the static_route entry from /etc/sysconfig to /etc/rc.conf? Because when I don't specify the static route I can receive an error like this " routed [61]: sendto (ep0, 224.0.0.2) : No route to host. What is the address 224.0.0.2 used for ? Hope you can help me.

It consists of 3 66M HP SCSI drives concatenated inot 1 1.8G filesyste, Createing the ccd and mounting it goise OK. Then I start a tar operation to move about 1.2M worth of data to this ccd. The machine is runing the normal load for eerything els. Somewhere *after* 33% (one complete disks worth?) of data is written to these drives the machine reboots itslef. This has happende 4 times at this point. The last time it just hung istead of rebooting. OnceI caught the error message it was: tar: couldn't write to file debian/bo/source/misc/bl_1.2-2.dsc : File too large This file is very small!Once the machine is rebooted, an arempt to fsck the ccd fails with some very strange errors such as negative inode numbers, and truncated inodes. I believe thateither there must be a bug in the ccd driver, or perhaps I have somehow set it up incorectly. Here is what i did to set it up: recompile kernel with ccd osuedo-driver do MAKDEV ccd0 diskalabel -r -w auto each of the drives. diskalabel -e ecah of the drives and chane the partiton type for the c partition to 4.2BSD ccdconfig ccd0 16 o /dev/sd0c /fev/sd1c /dev/sd2c newfs /dev/rccd0 mount the /dev/ccd0c /mirror and then I. tar cf -. | ( cd /mirror ; tar xvf -) and about 30 minutes laer the system crashes, reliably. Ths machine has been rock solid for over a year now. It is my main communications server, and I have reached the point where I am tired of crashing it. Can someone give me some advice here? Have I done somthing wrong? Is this a nown bug? I'm on 2.2 STABLE from a few months agoa. cvsupedwith the 2-2RELENG tag.

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 It's becomming increasingly apparent that I don't have cvsup set up right for what I want to do, but I don't know how I'm supposed to set it up right. I have been running cvsup in checkout mode, however I have local patches which I don't want overwritten by cvsup every time. The logical answer seemed to be to run my own cvs tree, with a separate vendor tag for my local changes. Then I noticed that cvsup can also run in cvs mode, which basically does set up a complete cvs tree. Great, I thought, I'll use that. So I last night I ran cvsup in cvs mode, and it set up everything nicely, but all it downloaded were the checked-in RCS files (the ,v files) plus the CVSROOT stuff. 1. Is this what I wanted to do to accomplish my goal? If not, what should I have done? 2. If so, how do I check out the entire source tree at once so I can do a make world? 3. Was it a good idea to have the stuff unpack in /usr (so I got a /usr/CVSROOT, and /usr/src is full of the RCS files); if not, is there a "standard" place for this stuff to go?

However I must be using inefficient search methods because I haven't found the answer that I am looking for. I will start with my system configuration (IDE) ATAPI creative cd-rom wdc 1.2 gig hard disk Seagate 2.1 gig hard disk Quantum 1.2 gig hard diusk 16 Megs Ram ViewSonic 17GA monitor recommended resolution 1024 x 768 @ 86 Hz Creative 16B PnP board. I don't know what video card specifically. I am running NT4.0 on my C: drive. I have attempted to install FreeBSD on all three of the drives. Once common problem is it installs fine, but the boot manager doesn't go in, On the next install which option should I select ? Install BootEasy Install Standard Boot Manager or Leave MBR untouched ? Now, the next problem is once installed and getting it to boot. I get problems with getty getty spawning too fast of /dev/cuaa1 sleeping 30 seconds, It also says login class root unknown.. The final problem I am having is with X. I can't find the proper specs for my monitor any where. I have contacted the vendor and the vendor will not provide it. I would appreciate any help.

I have tried to track it down and I think I know what may be causing the problem, and I need some confirmation. The mail exchanger for mtna.org is a machine called mtna_pdc.mtna.org . I vaguely recall a discussion on one of the freebsd mailing lists a few months ago, about the fact that having a hostname with an underscore violates some RFC. I suspect this is the problem I am running into. To test my theory I changed one of the hostnames on my network to a hostname containing an underscore and tried to send mail to it...I got the exact same error message I was getting when I tried to send mail to mtna.org. I then changed the hostname to one which had a dash instead of an underscore, sent mail again , and everything worked fine. Would just like to know if this is indeed the problem, and if so, what the relevant RFC number is so that I can talk to the folks at mtna.org so they can change their host name. Thanks, C.P. ---------------------------------------------- Christian Plazas Columbus State University (706)568-2063 From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Nov 26 06:49:44 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id GAA21311 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 26 Nov 1997 06:49:44 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id GAA21303 for ; Wed, 26 Nov 1997 06:49:33 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from nadav@barcode.co.il) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.8.5/8.6.12) id QAA26334; Wed, 26 Nov 1997 16:49:18 +0200 (IST) X-Authentication-Warning: gatekeeper.barcode.co.il: smap set sender to using -f Received: from localhost.barcode.co.il(127.0.0.1) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il via smap (V1.3) id sma026331; Wed Nov 26 16:48:56 1997 Message-ID: <347C36AE.6EC4@barcode.co.il> Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 16:48:14 +0200 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.6 sun4u) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "R.

If you use the NT boot manager, and the NT boot partition is on the same disk as NT's C: drive, the simplest way would be to use the NT boot manager (see the FAQ for instructions). Otherwise, you'll need another boot manager, but BootEasy gets installed on the wrong disk in such a configuration, so you'll have to install it, or another one you like, manually. > > Now, the next problem is once installed and getting it to boot. > I get problems with getty > getty spawning too fast of /dev/cuaa1 sleeping 30 seconds, Don't know. > It also says login class root unknown..

The newer ppp (2.2.5) has new protections in it so you MUST be root to start up the link. I found this to be a pain on my single user workstion (although I am sure all the folk using freebsd as ISP's appreciate it). What I did was grab the code from Brian Sommer's web page at freebsd.org and added a line to change the effective uid to 0. Works like a champ. See man seteuid. You can do this just about anywhere in the top of the program. Seems to me like this ought to be a compiler option. Of course the program must be installed with the set uid bit set, but that is the default anyway.

This is less than ideal when you are trying to get ppp up, and the information you need is on the other end of a wire. Perhaps if enough people complain, the maintainers will change there mind on the next release.

I have a directory of notes on the 1542a & FreeBSD (see below). Brief summary of symptoms: Intermittent burst of 8 * 0xFF bytes on occasional multiples of (I recall) 1or4K boundaries on drives >= sd1 , mainly when multiple devices active (I think). Others apart from me have seen similar. I have an A, a B, and a C, but no complaints about the B or C. If your problem is with a B or C, I have nothing useful to contribute, in that case I suggest you just discuss with . If you have an A with problems, please mail me, and also CC the following: tomppa@fidata.fi, fabio@cesar.unicamp.br, gcrutchr@nightflight.com, j@uriah.heep.sax.de, jc@irbs.com, julian@freebsd.org, kuku@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de, nikm@ixa.net, tomppa@fidata.fi, wilko@yedi.iaf.nl, Greg Lehey , Julian H. Stacey , Leif Neland who all have, or have had an interest in FreeBSD & 1542A scsi cards. I'm no scsi expert, just someone who's put a lot of time into observing the 1542A 8 0xFF bytes bug, (& even ripped off cache chips & replaced, & thrown out a perfectly good 500M drive, all seeking to track this down (It'd be cheaper to Axe my 1542A into final submission ;-).

FreeBSD is a UNIX-style operating system based on the Berkeley BSD code base. FreeBSD comes with a Linux emulator for those programs that can't/won't compile on FreeBSD.

Also, if you just want to get around the 32K TextEdit limit imposed by MacOS, getting BBEdit or similar is going to be a much easier solution than switching operating systems.

OK, I see. I know the 3Coms have a super-secret read/write port at 0x100 or so, maybe that driver is using it. FreeBSD has a boot-time configuration; as long as the driver and USERCONFIG is in the kernel, you can configure it by putting `-c' on the Boot: prompt. > > Cool.

Actually, it's statically and dynamically linked executables. In the normal universe, a program references libraries that are stored separately on disk. When a program needs a routine from the library, ld checks to see if the library is already in memory. If it isn't, then the library is loaded in. If anything else references the same library, it uses the single loaded copy. This is called `shared libraries'. It saves a lot of memory and disk activity. However there may be cases where you can't distribute a library, for licensing or simplicity reasons. Statically linking builds all the libraries it needs into the executable itself, increasing it's size. This is nice since you don't need to install the libs but a pain since it grows the executable size phoenominally. Great for distributing Motif binaries. Hope that helps somewhat.

I installed other FreeBSD distributions in the past (2.1.6, 2.2.0 and 2.2.2) with no problems, and the 2.2.5 is running, but I'm having to configure some things by hand that were pre-configured during installation in the previous releases. Well, maybe I was too dumb to find these steps during installation, but in the previous ones I didn't have to look for them ... Anyway, my question is: is there a utility to configure the network settings (such as a netconfig or netcfg - I've already tried these ones with no luck ...) or I have to configure it by hand, editting the files??? Thanks for your help.

Freebsd sees this card as de0. However, in spite of every effort to make things happen on the wire with this card, I cant get any packets to transmit on the wire. I hooked up a sniffer to the hub to monitor the packets comming from freebsd. Nothing!! I could see the packets comming from the solaris box (an old LX). The routes looked like this: 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 lo0 172.16.0.2 Link#1 The card has the following config line in rc.conf: ifconfig_de0="inet 172.16.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 up" Because the systems are on a local area network, there is no default route, and no router (routed is not started). We use /etc/hosts (no nis). /etc/hosts.conf looks at hosts first. Issuing ifconfig de0 yields: de0: flags=c011 mtu 1500 inet 172.16.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 Thanks for any helpful suggestions.

Thought that was a nice thing to know. Afterwards my de0 started acting up. Problem has been recurring for weeks now. Rebooted hoping something was amis in the ARP tables due to the router swap. No luck. Built a new kernel from CTM src-2.2.0519 this afternoon. No improvement. dmesg says: de0 rev 35 int a irq 10 on pci0:13 de0: ZNYX ZX312 21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 de0: address 00:c0:95:ec:91:aa ... changing root device to sd0a de0: enabling 10baseT port de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: link down: cable problem? Think at this point I was sitting at the console and network connections had halted, so I typed "ifconfig de0 down" then "ifconfig de0 up" and it resumed. The first message below was spawned by the "ifconfig de0 down" command. de0: enabling 10baseT port de0: system error: reserved #7 That #7 pops up a lot, but the next was a new message: de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: link down: cable problem? Other systems on the same cable segment aren't having any problems, but they aren't FreeBSD. Will probably change out the card with an ISA NE2000 on Friday and see if that helps. Does this look like a hardware problem? Seems the de0 code has been pretty solid and this card has been working well for almost a year. Or is this a MB problem? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

The installation processed failed for a number of reasons: The boot disks I created would crash the system, using an older version of FreeBSD the install program would recognize my CD-ROM, ... Anyway, the reason I'm writing is to ask if the lastest version, FreeBSD v2.2.5, has a new (and improved) install process? I've successfully installed LINUX on my system, but I really what to try FreeBSD.

It's still nowhere near done, but making rapid progress. There is also a newer version than what we have a port for, but I just changed the name of the directory once it was untarred and did make patch && make configure && make build and I's in business. Try http://www.winehq.com/ for more info, or comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine on usenet. Are we by chance working on a FreeBSD windows emulator?

Cheap and easy way to get it running *at all* is to comment out the musserver calls (i.e. run with no sound)...then go back and figure out why your soundcard isn't working.

The problem with modifying the code to make ppp seteuid 0 is that you'll have to patch the source every time it's updated. IMHO, a far better way to run ppp as root is to install sudo (even on a single-user workstation) and get used to typing sudo ppp -auto This has the added benefit of getting you used to using sudo instead of logging in as or su'ing to root :-) Then, on the "real" machines you administrate at work, using sudo becomes second nature. Sudo is a sysadmin's friend...it's in the ports collection (/usr/ports/net). Configured properly (not the default configuration, if I remember correctly) sudo can be quite humorous 8-) -- John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions Systems Administration @denver.net/internet-coach/@ronan.net & Network Engineering 1031 S.

So, i entered the command 'moused -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2' and moused works fine. Then, when I run x, i can move my mouse, but it is really messed up. It is not useable at all. The only way I can use x is to do a killall moused, then run it with the dvice of /dev/psm0. Do you know how I can fix this? Also, I have another question. I put 'vidcontrol -m on' in the rc.local file. Is there a way to make this work when I switch terminals, so I don't have to keep typing moused -m on? Thanks a lot.

No crashes, no odd behavior, etc. Until this morning, when I noticed the following kernel messages on the console: > fhtovp: file start miss -853868544 vs 88 > fhtovp: file start miss -853868544 vs 88 > fhtovp: file start miss -853868544 vs 88 > fhtovp: file start miss -853868544 vs 88 > fhtovp: file start miss -853868544 vs 88 What do they mean? (i.e. what part of the kernel is generating them?) I'm guessing the File system? Is this an indication that one of my disks is about to go belly-up? Should I boot to single-user and run a manual fsck on everything? The system seems to be running OK despite these messages.

Anyway... I recently upgraded from 2.1.0 to 2.2.2, so I could get the 32 port per card support for the cyclades. The pppd that comes with 2.2.2-release (2.2?) does not co-exist nicely with later versions of NT4, Win95, or user PPP from the October 3.0-SNAP CD. It seems that allowing compression negotiation really confuses things. I went in vain to 2.3.1 thinking that this would be better (although I see 2.3.2 is out). This let some people work ok, but broke other people who were previously ok. This is a log of the transactions between user ppp and pppd 2.3.1, sorry I don't have any customers running a problem version of 95/NT who are patient enough to let me test stuff with them to have a log. I've added noccp to the default options, which has fixed the problem for the user PPP. I'm still waiting for one of the problem NT/win95 people to log in, to see if they've been fixed. So the question out of all of this is; am I doing something wrong? Or is it general brokeness and I've just been unlucky enough to have the wrong combination of customers to put me between a rock and a hard place? I checked the pr's and I didn't see any open associated with this, and the mail list had entried about NT being broken and needing service pack fixes /etc/ppp/options: auth modem login proxyarp passive mru 296 noccp ----- Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: pppd 2.3.1 started by xxxxxxxx, uid 10005 Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: Using interface ppp7 Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: Connect: ppp7 <--> /dev/ttyc0a Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x4 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [LCP ConfAck id=0x4 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [PAP AuthReq id=0x1 user="xxxxxxxx" password="xxxxxxxxx"] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: user xxxxxxxx logged in Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [PAP AuthAck id=0x1 "Login ok"] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [CCP ConfReq id=0x1 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x1 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [CCP ConfReq id=0x1 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [CCP ConfRej id=0x1 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x1 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: found interface ed0 for proxy arp Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: local IP address 203.30.3.3 Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: remote IP address 203.30.3.26 Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [CCP ConfRej id=0x1 ] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [CCP ConfReq id=0x2] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [CCP ConfReq id=0x2] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [CCP ConfAck id=0x2] Nov 27 22:52:14 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [CCP ConfAck id=0x2] Nov 27 22:52:18 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [proto=0xfd] 80 2e 19 21 45 2c 5e 88 02 40 40 06 54 39 cb 1e 40 03 1a 81 6b 38 67 19 00 11 44 a4 f4 2f ea 0e 4d 20 cb 32 60 12 40 15 04 23 02 04 01 75 09 Nov 27 22:52:18 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [CCP ResetReq id=0x3] Nov 27 22:52:18 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [CCP ResetAck id=0x3] Nov 27 22:52:21 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [proto=0xfd] 80 2e 19 21 45 2c 5e 89 02 40 40 06 54 38 cb 1e 40 03 1a 81 6b 38 67 19 00 11 44 a4 f4 2f ea 0e 4d 20 cb 32 60 12 40 15 04 23 02 04 01 f8 03 Nov 27 22:52:21 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [CCP ResetReq id=0x4] Nov 27 22:52:21 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [CCP ResetAck id=0x3] Nov 27 22:52:27 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [proto=0xfd] 80 2e 19 21 45 2c 5e 8a 02 40 40 06 54 37 cb 1e 40 03 1a 81 6b 38 67 19 00 11 44 a4 f4 2f ea 0e 4d 20 cb 32 60 12 40 15 04 23 02 04 01 c8 06 Nov 27 22:52:27 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [CCP ResetReq id=0x5] Nov 27 22:52:27 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [CCP ResetAck id=0x3] Nov 27 22:52:39 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [proto=0xfd] 80 2e 19 21 45 2c 5e 9a 02 40 40 06 54 27 cb 1e 40 03 1a 81 6b 38 67 19 00 11 44 a4 f4 2f ea 0e 4d 20 cb 32 60 12 40 15 04 23 02 04 01 18 ae Nov 27 22:52:39 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [CCP ResetReq id=0x6] Nov 27 22:52:39 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [CCP ResetAck id=0x3] Nov 27 22:53:03 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [proto=0xfd] 80 2e 19 21 45 2c 5e b0 02 40 40 06 54 11 cb 1e 40 03 1a 81 6b 38 67 19 00 11 44 a4 f4 2f ea 0e 4d 20 cb 32 60 12 40 15 04 23 02 04 01 08 8a Nov 27 22:53:03 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [CCP ResetReq id=0x7] Nov 27 22:53:03 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [CCP ResetAck id=0x3] Nov 27 22:53:33 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [proto=0xfd] 80 2a 19 21 45 28 5e b1 02 40 40 06 54 14 cb 1e 40 03 1a 81 6b 38 67 19 00 11 44 a4 f4 2f eb 0e 4d 20 cb 32 50 14 40 28 09 03 c7 90 Nov 27 22:53:33 whistler pppd[18853]: sent [CCP ResetReq id=0x8] Nov 27 22:53:33 whistler pppd[18853]: rcvd [CCP ResetAck id=0x3] -- ,-_|\ SneakerNet | Andrew Milton | GSM: +61(41)6 022 411 / \ P.O.

By putting multiple modes in your XF86Config file you can switch between them with control-alt (+/-) on the numeric key pad. This will switch resolutions, but will not switch color depth, which is what you really want.

At provider end and my end would be programs to "filter" the packets. When sending, it would attach a number to each one, alternating sending through modem 1 and 2 (easily expandible) when recieving, the program would put the packets in order and delete the reference number. I know that there could have been problems, such as one modem stalling, so I thought about having one of the programs request sole use of the good modem until it works again (and have it re-send the lost packets) and then test the modem every couple of seconds.

[responding to the list because I see this question alot] This worked for me on a FreeBSD 2.2.2/XFree3.3.1 machine. I can't promise that it works for everyone, but it did for me. 1) Remove ALL previous instances of failed java installations, including any environmental settings (ICQJava doesn't need the normal environmental settings) 2) Install kwhite's JDK1.1, and either the patch or the workarounds mentioned on the web page http://www.csi.uottawa.ca/~kwhite/javaport.html I used the workarounds, since the patch reported checksum errors. Also note that you make have to rerun mkfontdir if you didn't install all the font packages. 3) remove the font.properties file from the jdk1.1/lib directory 4) Test the Java example apps that come with the JDK. Not all will work, but at least some of the graphic apps will, which will tell you that the JDK itself is correctly installed. One possible problem is the number of bitplanes per pixel that you have X set up for. Java likes 8 and 32, since that is what Sun machines use, though at least some of the XFree86 drivers will work in 24 bit mode (I think it has to do with whether or not the driver allows 32bit pixmaps, but I'm not sure). 5) Download ICQJava 0.91 or later, 0.95 is the latest, and includes chatting (earlier versions only allowed individual messages). Install it per the instructions included in the tar file. 6) [Optional, but I recommend it] Install Lesstif 0.82, and link jdk1.1/lib/i386/green_threads/libXm.so to the new Lesstif library. This will fix the annoying inability to read long messages, though the initial window will have all of its widgets shifted until you resize the window.

My problem is fixed but it is a mystery how I did it. If you have followed my recent troubles you may recall that my system was panicking during the execution of umount. I took a gander at my kernel config file. I noticed that one of the three system V options was missing. I had ommitted SYSVMSG. I did not think (guess) that this would matter. BUT... My umount problem has disappeared after I recompiled with SYSVMSG. Was this change in the kernel really responsible for the fix? My guess is no. Could anyone help take the mystery out of this fix? FWIW. I was under the impression after reading the "The Complete FreeBSD" that SYSVMSG was not mandatory. Ipcs reports no processes using SYSV options.

What motherboard? PCI Slots? Reason I ask; we routinely build machines with FOUR of these Intel cards and they run just fine. SMP included. We had similar problems with certain boards on certain motherboards. Has to do with the PCI-PXI bridges or interupt handling. Does the same configuration work with a UP kernel?

I am trying to figure out what caused FreeBSD 2.2-971115-SNAP to lock up on me. I've had similar lockups in FreeBSD 3.0-970209-SNAP. Any insight is appreciated. The lockup occured when I was in XFree86 (3.3.1, Mach 64 server). I couldn't even telnet in from my server (also running FreeBSD 2.2-971115-SNAP) to kill any processes. I had to reset the system. :( I was running xlockmore and compiling the pgcc port. I am using Afterstep 1.0 (from the ports) as my window manager. I have ample free space, 64 MB of RAM, 256 MB swap and a 200 MHz MMX Pentium processor. The processor is overclocked to 250 MHz and the bus is overclocked to 83 Mhz. I have not had any problems w/ overclocking. None of the other ports I compiled caused any lockups. The FreeBSD 3.0-970209-SNAP system was not running on an overclocked system, so I don't think overclocking caused the lockup. I think the lockup was caused by xf86, or xlockmore or Afterstep (afterstep is the more likely culrpit IMO). How do I find out which files got corrupted when I have to reset the system because of a lockup (fsck doesnt give much info). How does resetting the system affect mounted dos/win95 partitions? Thank you.

Livingston (the Portmaster people) changed their mailing list rules to stop spam -- you cannot post from any email address which is not subscribed to the list. Livingston made exceptions and set up some type of alias list for those in special situations. I don't know how, but they are able to do it. That's much easier to administer than getting volunteers who read all the mail. Then I would worry about censorship. What if the moderator doesn't like my opinions or style of expression, or if I insult one of his buddies? I may not always be popular.

Had to put it on the back burner for a bit, finally got around to trying this again. I must say I didnt see the Makefile in the /cf directory. I was calling m4 the long way that i got from the sendmail book. I run diff's on my .cf files after I make them to see what exactly changed and overall not alot. Right now I have built two new .cf files, but as I did this from remote I have to wait till I get home to try them out to see how they work (if they do at all!) At any rate it would be interesting if you would do up one for me and then I can compare it to what I have built here. thanks much Doug. regards, Keith From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Nov 27 13:27:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id NAA24235 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 27 Nov 1997 13:27:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from out4.ibm.net (out4.ibm.net [165.87.194.239]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id NAA24228 for ; Thu, 27 Nov 1997 13:27:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mouth@ibm.net) Received: from slip129-37-195-79.nc.us.ibm.net (slip129-37-195-79.nc.us.ibm.net [129.37.195.79]) by out4.ibm.net (8.8.5/8.6.9) with SMTP id VAA41170; Thu, 27 Nov 1997 21:27:26 GMT From: mouth@ibm.net (John Kelly) To: shimon@simon-shapiro.org Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Ethernet traffic, heavy load?

I found that /etc/rc.conf wasn't set up properly after my upgrade from a 2.2-GAMMA. I ended up modifying rc.conf manually to set up the networking and such.

Add to your kernel config file: options NETATALK #Appletalk communications protocols Build a new kernel and reboot. Install the /usr/ports/net/netatalk port (or package). Configure it. And you are off and running. Netatalk will not mount a Mac filesystem on your FreeBSD box, but will let you export from your FreeBSD system. I think you can export filesystems that have been imported via NFS or Samba. Netatalk also allows you to access AppleTalk printers, and to be an AppleTalk printer server.

Ping sends "x" amount of data and expects the same amount in return (you can vary the data size on the command-line). I have the same situation as you FreeBSD and NT 4.0 on the same net and they communicate just fine. I would suggest first that you make sure you can ping by IP address rather than host name to eliminate DNS, HOSTS, or any Netbios resolution issues. Then, as I notice from your original message you say that you have these 2 hosts connected with NIC's, they are not connected directly to each other in twisted pair fashion by any chance are they? If so you cannot use standard TP wiring to accomplish the job and need to use a hub. Or re-wire the cable to flip TX & RX pairs. Eli On Thu, 27 Nov 1997, Daniel R.

That means I'll have to figure out how to run DOS. :-O Seriosuly, I did leave a 20M partition on my 4G drive Just In Case. Guess I should go looking for ZNYX's ftp site as it would be easier to find than the floppy. While I'm at it, they might have a lifetime warranty...? > Tried swapping with another card? Not yet. The PowerMac on the same EtherWave isn't having any troubles. Don't know what kind of router was there, or is there now, but was wondering (but not saying very well) if there was any oddity with this card and certian routers. It has served well for about a year. But something happened to cause somebody to replace a router. No telling what else was replaced. Don't really think its a router problem because when the problem surfaces it can't talk to the Mac sitting next to it, and VV. Think the next thing I'm going to try is removing NETATALK from the kernel. Not that I think that has anything to do with it, but its something to try that's a bit easier than exchanging the ethernet card. Considering this is mostly a learning machine and not mission critical, I can afford to dork around and learn rather than shotgun fix. > I'm tempted to think that you're having a network problem (bad cable or > misconfigured terminal) or the card died. I hope so. The only thing I have to replace it with is an ISA NE2000.

Thanks duly noted to Dave Bodenstab, Chuck Robey, and others that helped me. Thanks to part of the FreeType project, I was able to translate many *ttf files to *.bdf. I translated several Serif fonts to BDF format in 14-, 18-, 20-, and 24-point sizes and changed the encoding designation from Unicode-2.0 to iso8859-2. After the *.bdf files were set, I translated them to *pcf. I ran xset fp+ on the new /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freetype directory; and mkfontdir; and rehashed. Still, xfontsel don't print its `sample text' for any of these files. Anybody know why not?? I removed the freefonts package because they displayed so poorly with XEmacs. I thought the reason was that the freefonts were not bitmapped, and assumed that my ttf2bdf|bdftopcf conversion would give us a nice, broad collection of typefaces that could be used in any X app. ((These typefaces--and dozens more--already work flawlessly with enscript; I'll be posting my port of these next year.)) What do I have to do to get these *pcf files recognized by X? I've got to be missing at least one step? thanks, gary kline PS: Please copy me at thought.org... . -- Gary D.

What does it refer to? It refers to the section of the on line manual that this particular item is found. In a lot of cases, the number isn't strictly necessary because if you do "man lpr" there is only one manual entry for that item, and it brings up the proper section by default. In those cases where there are items with the same name that have different incarnations, there are usually man pages in each section that is appropriate. For example, do 'whatis sd' (no quotes of course) and you will see that there is an sd(4) and and sd(9). You can specify the proper section by doing man 4 sd, or man 9 sd. I thought sure I'd seen a man page that describes the layout of each section, but I can't find it right now.

You probably have the ISP set up as primary name server. You can disable autodial selectively--take a look at the tutorial.

Read all about it: Name server on a standalone system If you only have a single machine connected to the network via a PPP link, and your own machine is part of the ISP's zone, you can use the resolv.conf method as well. But it's not a good idea. Every lookup goes over the link, which is relatively slow. Since the results of the lookup aren't stored anywhere locally, you can end up performing the same lookup again and again. The answer is obvious: save the information locally. You can do this with a caching-only name server. As the name suggests, the caching-only name server doesn't have any information of its own, but it stores the results of any queries it makes to other systems, so if a program makes the same request again--which happens very frequently--it presents the results much more quickly on subsequent requests. o Either rename or remove /etc/resolv.conf, and create a new one with the following contents: nameserver 127.0.0.1 local name server nameserver 139.130.237.3 ISP's first name server nameserver 139.130.237.17 ISP's second name server /etc/resolv.conf isn't necessary, but if you have one like in the example, lookups will still succeed (but a little more slowly) if your name server should fail for any reason. o Change /etc/rc.conf: named_enable="YES" # Run named, the DNS server (or NO). named_flags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" # Flags to named (if enabled). o Create a file /etc/namedb/localhost.rev containing: @ IN SOA @host@. root.@host@. ( @date@ ; Serial 3600 ; Refresh 300 ; Retry 3600000 ; Expire 3600 ) ; Minimum IN NS @host@. 1 IN PTR localhost.@domain@. To create the file, you can start with the file /etc/namedb/PROTO.local- host.rev, which contains a template for this file. Replace @host@ with the FQDN of your host (freebie.example.org in this example), @date@ with the date in the form yyyymmddxx, and @domain@ with example.org.. Make sure that the FQDNs end with a trailing period. Alternatively, you can run the script /etc/namedb/make-localhost. o Create a file /etc/namedb/named.boot containing: directory /etc/namedb primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa localhost.rev forwarders 139.130.237.3 139.130.237.17 /etc/namedb/named.boot should already be present on your system as well. You just need to add the last line. The address 139.130.237.3 is the ISP's name server address. That's all there is to it. The forwarders line contains up to ten name server addresses. In this case, we're assuming that an additional name server exists with the address 139.130.237.17. o Start named: # named -b /etc/namedb/named.boot From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 28 00:11:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA29482 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Nov 1997 00:11:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from wired.ctech.ac.za (wired.ctech.ac.za [155.238.4.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA29470 for ; Fri, 28 Nov 1997 00:11:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za) Received: from wired.ctech.ac.za (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by wired.ctech.ac.za (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id KAA20703 for ; Fri, 28 Nov 1997 10:12:30 +0200 (SAT) (envelope-from jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za) Message-ID: <347E7CEE.41C67EA6@wired.ctech.ac.za> Date: Fri, 28 Nov 1997 10:12:30 +0200 From: Jacques Hugo X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: 2>&1 ???

Presumably you don't mean 'do' in the line above. The 2>&1 means "redirect file descriptor 2 (stderr) to file descriptor 1 (stdout)". This allows you, for example, to pipe both output streams to another process. > What does the 2>&1 do and where can you use > other vatiations with it? There are lots of variations.

Which version of FreeBSD are you running? Cyrix Pxxx+ processors are now correctly detected in version 2.2.5 and -stable. There's not inherent problems using an old version of FreeBSD with a Cyrix processor though.

How did you configure X? Did you build your own kernel? If your mouse is a PS/2 mouse, and you told XFree86 to use it as /dev/psm0, you have to enable it in the kernel (it is disabled by default). Either remove the word "disable" from the psm0 line in the kernel config file and rebuild the kernel, or boot with -c at the Boot: prompt and enable the device.

I solved it here by adapting a kernel source patch that was posted to the list. I've enclosed the patch I used, as a shar (shell archive) file. Here's the README from that file: This file patches the FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE version of `/usr/src/sys/net/ppp_tty.c' so it won't panic the system when used with natd(8). According to traffic on the `freebsd-questions' mailing list, the problem was that pppfcs() was being called sometimes with a negative `m->m_len'. The patch simply ensures that a negative `m->m_len' value is reset to 0 before calls to pppfcs(). According to a message posted by Brian Somers (brian@freebsd.org, `http://freebsd.org/~brian/') on the `freebsd-questions' mailing list, the real underlying problem has been corrected for newer versions of FreeBSD. Thus, if you upgrade to 2.2.5-RELEASE, your problem should go away and you should need this patch. If, however, upgrading is not practical for you at this time, you can try the enclosed kernel patch. To unpack it, save the `shar' portion to a file and run it through /bin/sh. Or, if you have the `sharutils' port/package installed, just run the entire mail message through `gunshar'. To install the patch, run the `pppd+natd-panic-patch' through patch(1), while in the `/usr/src/sys/net/' directory. Then rebuild your kernel, install the new kernel, and reboot. Make sure the diffs were applied properly *before* you rebuild your kernel. I've been using a 2.2.2-RELEASE kernel with the enclosed patch for more than two months now, and the problem has not recurred.

It's always a good idea to check the mailing list archives and/or the FreeBSD web pages before posting a question to the list; they're located at `http://WWW.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html'. By entering `login.conf' in the mailing-list search box, ensuring that the `questions' button was selected, and pressing the `Submit Query' button, you'd have found countless answers to your question, since this particular question has been posted countless times since 2.2.2-RELEASE came out. Searching the FreeBSD web pages would've done the trick, too, pointing you to `http://www.freebsd.org/releases/2.2.2R/errata.html'. That errata document contains the solution to your problem. Here's a direct quote: Last minute errata: ------------------- o login as root produces "login_getclass: unknown class 'root'" on system console. Fix: If you have the source distribution installed, simply cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc otherwise, get it from the FreeBSD FTP site using this URL: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/login.conf instead. Simply cd to /etc and then run fetch(1) with the provided URL. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Do not underestimate the value of print statements for debugging.

My goal was to have an OS system on my 486 system that would provide as an Internet Browser (i.e. Netscape) and also experience some of the UNIX FreeBSD X Window System. Currently I have a 240 MB partition, I can make the Boot.Flp and then go to View and run Novice Install. I delete the FAT partition and the Create FreeBSD and set as Active/Boot Partition. I select AUTO config on specifing my disk labels and sizes for FreeBSD. Which ? How can I view my slices statistic (whether mounted or not). I then install distributions X-User (which includes User & X-User). I select NO to all the prompts of networking, ftp, etc. I reboot the OS and trying to move around and view any directory structure is no good. Simple put, I can't change directory, am I right with the auto selection of setting up the slices did the mounting of these slices I can only log-on as root, and one user I created. When I sign on as root my prompt looks like this MYNAME#, how can I change this, or what is this telling me. I am aware of the SuperUser (SU). What about the $ prompt, what is this telling me. When I setup a user what shell should I use? The default is [sh]. Were is there more info on these shells, do I need to know this? Is [bash] the shell of choice. I have tried using the MAN pages for startx, etc. I'm lost with a headache-- I can't give up on FreeBSD, any helpful hints and/or where I can get some info on "How to be the Novice User in FreeBSD" would be a Greatful. :-) Please E-Mail at following, don't reply to this message PBarstad@worldnet.att.net From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 28 09:25:56 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id JAA25815 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Nov 1997 09:25:56 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: (from jmb@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id JAA25801; Fri, 28 Nov 1997 09:25:49 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jmb) From: "Jonathan M.

Thanks for any insight... it's not impossible that ARP might have something to do with it, but I wouldn't say that it is definite. The whole routing code needs a cleanup.

The Macs that are outside of the .252 subnet are probably trying to talk with the FreeBSD on the ethernet. When FreeBSD tries to resolve the destination (probably when it is trying to respond to the arp who-has from the Mac), it can't find it. The botton line is that all of the hosts on the ethernet need to agree on the subnet mask. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Nov 28 11:34:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id LAA03249 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 28 Nov 1997 11:34:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from silvester.zoom.es (root@silvester.zoom.es [195.76.150.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id LAA03236 for ; Fri, 28 Nov 1997 11:34:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from amora@zoom.es) Received: from zoom100.zoom.es (zoom100.zoom.es [195.76.150.100]) by silvester.zoom.es (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id VAA08184 for ; Fri, 28 Nov 1997 21:33:36 +0100 Message-Id: <199711282033.VAA08184@silvester.zoom.es> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Jesus A.

Thus, 2>&1, duplictes the stdout file descriptor onto the stderr one. The net result is that anything your redirected pogram writes to stderr/2 will actually appear on stdout/1. This is useful if you have error output and you want to use a pager like more or less. e.g. "patch -p < patchfile 2>&1 | more". You can find more in the bash manpage under "REDIRECTION" section.

I have been given the job to move the contents of a rather large website about 300 mb of files to my server and host the site. Here are a few little problems I am having. First, I figured I would just make a tar.gz file of the entire directory tree and then transfer the file containing the archive over the network via ftp. I was told that this website had "unlimited" disk space, so I thought that creating a tar.gz file would work. After receiving an error that read, gzip: stdout: quota limit exceeded, broken pipe, I decided to check the quota they had on them. Typing quota only reveiled a command not found error. Sheesh. Anyway, I knew then that the only way I could see would be to use the mget * command to transfer all the files over via ftp. I ran into a small problem which is more of an annoyance than anything else. When I use the the mget * command, ftp seems to no that directories also need to be transferred, and it seems to make the distinction between directories and files. But, ftp will report a local: file not found, if it tries to transfer a file from a directory on the remote machine if the same directory on the local machine does not exist. Is there anyway that I can tell ftp to just go ahead and create each directory on the local machine if it encounters the same directory name on the remote machine? I would like to preserve all directories in hole, which would have been accomplished with tar. Is there another way that I am missing that would be much simpler than the method described above? Thanks for any tidbits and info someone could pass along.

Yes there is an update. If you cvsup the 2.2-stable branch you will get the update automatically.

I am looking for a search engine that will work on FreeBSD. I use EWS (the free excite engine) on a NT systems that I administrate. There is a bsdi version of EWS that I have tried to use without success. When I went back excite, they specifically stated that they do not support the FreeBSD platform. So, while the EWS works for my NT setup, it does not for my Apache on FreeBSD and I need several large document directories on this server to be searchable. I have looked at alot of the FreeBSD sites in the FreeBSD Gallery and didn't find any that had something of this nature. Well, that is not entirely true. Sony Japan did, but there was no reference to the kind of engine being used. I figured it was customized and I do not have that kind of resource ($$$). Can anyone point me in the right direction? Are there any resources of this nature available??? TIA, :)mary * * * * * * * * * * * * * _ _ (___________) Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.

Otherwise, it may just be an optical illusion, since the display tube is slightly rounded on the sides.

To install a port: cd /usr/ports/category/program make su; make install The system will automatically fetch the distfiles from the net if you don't have them in /usr/ports/distfiles from the CDROM. To uninstall, do pkg_delete port-x.x. Use /var/db/pkg/ as a reference for the name. I believe this information is in the Handbook.

Well, Netscape grows to 35-40 Mb usage after a while, but that doesn't account for all the memory in use... Also, I killed Netscape couple of days ago (rather: it sig 11'ed itself :-) and now it's at 22 Mb virtual.

If you really do have an instance of a Walnut Creek CDROM product with 2 duplicate CDs in it, PLEASE send it back to us as we are attempting to track these sorts of production problems with our replicator (we've been having a series of QC problems with them lately, and every one of these problem scenarios we can prove brings us one step closer to getting them to do something about the problem). We will be more than happy to send you a replacement and reimburse you for your shipping costs (or give you another free CD of your choice) in instances like this.

No SCSI system error messages where sent to syslog. This is why I have the scsi sense command out put in the original missive. I did run with SCSI_DEBUG turnd on for a little bit. The following is the system log for that time period plus a system reboot so you can see the configuration as it came back up. The last boot shows the Adaptec 1542cp giving its normal error messages. (Which according to the comments and cvs logs, somebody wanted a configuration where the aha driver was giving "DMA beyond end of ISA" errors reliably for debuging purposes.)

In my country, Linux is dominant, because there are some of enthusiastic volunteers and many document resource(more than FreeBSD) written in Korean. Though I have 2.2.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek(no company sells it in Korea, so I had to buy it from WC directly) and I have a good network connection in my school, but I use FreeBSD in my home, and I have only telephone connection in my home. I think there are many people who use FreeBSD with no network connection or just a phone line, so it's a bad idea that whoever wants to get the documentation of FreeBSD must try to connect the main FreeBSD site or near mirrors...

In Australia everything is in English for us, but the situation is similar. We are expecting to see 2.2.5 CDs mid to late December, and then I might have to send a cheque interstate and wait a week for it to clear before shipping. There were problems in 2.2.2 that made me wonder if it had ever had a test install by an unassisted lowly mortal unix dabbler, or onto any machine that hadn't yet been touched by FreeBSD. No, I think 2.2.2's brilliance at guru level and chasms at entry level proved that this couldn't have ever been done. I wonder why? I ordered several sets of 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 as they hit Oz, to give away to convert friends to FreeBSD. I gave them Linux instead because it was easier to install and support over the phone and looked more professional (from their perspective) because the company (sic) was well enough established to provide adequate documentation and the install didn't need fixing (that missing file with incorrect errata) nor was an expensive Internet account required to use it. > I hope the next release of FreeBSD will contain the Handbook and FAQ > like the good old days... >From where I am, it's the release after next.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sat, 29 Nov 1997 12:54:50 +0100 From: Volker Paepcke Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi! I know, we had this topic already a few times. But after reviewing all archived messages about automounting a cdrom, I haven't found any working solution for this (at the first glance) simple scenario: 1.) FreeBSD (2.2.5-Stable) server with an automounted CDROM (exported via nfs and samba). 2.) One or more FreeBSD-Clients automounting this CDROM via nfs. 3.) One or more NT-Workstations mounting this CDROM via samba. I found something like this posted by s.o. for automounting the CDROM on the server: /etc/amd.map: /defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost};rhost:=${key} * opts:=rw,grpid,resvport,nfsv2 vulcan type:=auto;\ fs:=${map};\ pref:=${key}/ vulcan/cdrom type:=program;\ fs:=/mnt/cdrom;\ mount:="/sbin/mount mount /mnt/cdrom";\ unmount:="/sbin/umount umount -f /mnt/cdrom" /etc/fstab: /dev/cd0a /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 amd-flags: -c 99999 -l syslog /amd /etc/amd.map After inserting a CDROM in the drive I can access it from any client... ...but here are the problems: 1.) I have to set the timeout on the server very high, because the nfs-exported cdrom won't be remounted after the timeout. Instead, I get a stale NFS handle on the client and so I have to wait on the client for the timeout, too. If the server never times out, I will never get a stale NFS handle at the client. The problem which remains, is how to eject the CDROM. The clients don't have a chance to get informed by this event. So I've hacked a little script, which sends the command 'amq -u /mnt/cdrom' to every machine and then runs 'cdcontrol eject' on the server. :-( 2.) If there is no CDROM in the drive and I try to access it on the clients I'm getting a permanent error on the server: "Too many levels of remote in path". This message stems from the failing /sbin/mount command and because of the very long timeout it will stay permanent until the normal timout. I don't know why amd doesn't retry a failed program-type mount after a definable timeout :-( 3.) If somebody on any of the clients is sitting on a nfs-mounted directory from the CDROM my script will fail, because I can't forcibly unmount a blocked nfs-mounted directory. The consequence is a stale NFS handle as in problem 1.) 1.) and 3.) are not a problem for the samba-clients, so maybe a rumba-client on my FreeBSD-clients won't have these problems either!? But I absolutely can't handle the second problem. Right know I have to restart amd on the server If somebody has tried to access an empty CDROM-drive. I think its impossible to explain to a NT-User, that he never may access an empty CDROM-drive on the server from his NT-workstation. I know that changable medias aren't fitting very well into the concept of amd, but maybe there is something I've overlooked. So if there is somebody who has spent some days with similar problems and has has some ideas, please tell me!

In Doom FAQ you can find notice that only SB 16 is supported. I also have ESS 1868 chip on my sound card (but without wavetable) and it is reported as SB Pro 3.1 on boot.

The label on the silk screen for CD #4 is indeed a bit misleading since the original plan *was* to put all such material over on that CD, but unfortunately the ports collection was so big by the time I actually created the CDs (the artwork is generally done a few weeks in advance) that it pushed everything else off the 4th CD and I had to do a last-minute reshuffle.

Unless you have a special need that the vt console doesn't support, why not use it? Then you have a real vt100 console for both when you're dialing up and otherwise. Just recompile your kernel with the vt driver, and set the relevant termtypes to vt100 in /etc/ttys. IMHO, the vt console is much nicer than the SCO syscons driver. Not only is it a vt100 so you can do nice things like the above, but it's also in colour so manpages look extra-spiffy :-) Evan From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Nov 29 12:15:28 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA18606 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 29 Nov 1997 12:15:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from silvester.zoom.es (root@silvester.zoom.es [195.76.150.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA18600 for ; Sat, 29 Nov 1997 12:15:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from amora@zoom.es) Received: from zoom077.zoom.es (zoom077.zoom.es [195.76.150.77]) by silvester.zoom.es (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA08766 for ; Sat, 29 Nov 1997 22:15:10 +0100 Message-Id: <199711292115.WAA08766@silvester.zoom.es> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Jesus A.

There is one place where the user interface could be a little bit better, maybe there is something in the documentation that would help that I've missed but the problem is: How do you know what the name of the package is? Right now, the process I go through for installing a package looks something like: cd /usr/ports make search key=kermit pkg_add -v ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.2.5/All/kermit-6.0.192.tgz wait for the failure because while kermit is a port, it is not a package. cd comms/kermit make make install make package Install package on the 8 or 9 other machines that need that package. Looking through the source for pkg_add, I don't see anyplace where you can set an enviornment variable or where it reads from a configuration file as to where to get packages over the network. So the two things I'm looking for are: 1) a config file or environment variable for pkg_add which will give a default base URL 2) that sysinstall would install INDEX into /var/db/pkg to allow for easy searchs. Thanks, Chris P.S. if (1) sounds like a good Idea, I'll submit diffs for it later this week.

Go into your fvwm config file and define tab, which the A modifier to be "CirculateUp" .. its been a long while since I used fvwm but I'm pretty sure this will work.

Your going to have a hard time getting this system to boot from the hard drive I'm afraid! What's going on? I've had Linux on here before and I have had no problems booting from the hard drive.

I would have to disagree with you on this! I have found the documentation for FBSD to be very clear and concise. I have been able to find the information I feel is necessary to get the job done. I'm really sorry you feel this way about FBSD. I have tried some other more expensive releases of Unix (ie, commercial products) and found their documentation to be severely lacking and extremely difficult to use. BTW, I also started learning about Unix with Slackware 3.0 CD which came with a monolithic book from Sams Publishing. I have found the documentation in FBSD to be superior (then both the book and how-to's include with the Slackware release). > Further, I don't understand what the label on the 4th CD stands for: > there are no docs nor extra utilities on it, but a CVS tree, as in > 3rd CD.

No matter how I configure my hard drive,.. whether with different partitions for /, /usr,/etc... or a single large partition (of 650MB) I ALWAYS run out of room. It will not install the X-Windows system. I have tried installing all the ports. Nothing. I have tried just a fairly bare X-User install, with and without multiple partitions. Nothing. It will consistantly tell me that the file system is full when it gets to different portions of the X-windows setup. It will not load xbin, and a number of different files, yet after failing on that,.. it'll install stuff that follows it. What's the deal?

I use htDig from sdsu as mentioned in another posting. Since you are using Apache it should work fine (it likes to work on http docs) as long as everything you have on localhost is an html document. If this is not the case, (you have text files you do not wish to mark up with html) then Isearch works on everything (text and html) you have on your server. Get it from ftp.cnidr.org. I stopped using Isearch due to some problems in linking resulting documents. This was laziness on my part and *not* an artifact of the package. I didn't want to sort out what changes were necessary. Both systems compiled "out of the box". I'm *not* a programmer either. If I were you I would try them both.

I hacked this up because I got tired of having to drag my finger across my glidepoint three times to get all the way across my X screen. Basically, it adds two options to moused, -A and -T threshold. Basically, any movement that falls under the threshold remains unmodified, any thing over the threshold either gets multiplied by the accelfactor, or gets a geometric progression algorithm applied. This way slow movement still lets you get pixel-precise, but fast movement lets you cross the screen fast. It uses a lookup table rather than computing the values on the fly, so it doesn't cost much, except 256 bytes, and table setup at startup. So, what's the general interest level? I've got patches against 2.2-971126 moused.c, do I send them to someone for submission, or do I keep them for myself?

Oh, a umask of 000 will also work, but I used 111 just to make sure that the server doesn't incidentally create any executables. I doubt it would make any difference, but if it ever did stop someone trying to exploit a script or bug in the server, it would be worth it.

Get it from ftp.cnidr.org. Personally I've got a couple of gripes with Isearch. First off, you can't search across multiple databases (kinda like the freebsd mailing list search stuff can). It also seems to have problems indexing large amounts of documents if you don't explicitly tell it to use more memory (if you do tell it to, it deos work fine). Unfortunately, it's also kinda looking like development is basically dead on the Isearch package. The last real version was 1.14, and they had a 1.20 that was in their untested dir, but neither have been touched in ages.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello. First, I would like to thank the many responses regarding a question I posted yesterday about the best way to transfer a large website from one server to another. Someone directed me to the NCFTP2 program which can be found in the freeBSD ports collection. I was impressed with the program, and it was doing everything I needed to be done. However, I ran into something that I had never seen this behavior with the original old ftp client. NCFTP2 ignores any symbolic link. For example, this clients home directory on his server is: /home/user, their web site is contained in a subdirectory called /home/user/www. However, the www directory is actually a symbolic link to the actual directory /home/www/user. I know that I could just follow the link and begin a new transfer, but the original ftp client didn't care if there was a symbolic link or not, it just went ahead and changed to the directory that was being linked to, and continued along its' way. Has anyone had any experiences with ncftp2, getting it to see symbolic links as directories if they should be considered directories? Thanks.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just upgraded my Modem to a Zoom 2819 K56Flex. And i was editing the ppp.conf in attempt to change the init string. And my first question is how do i add a command that starts with "\" ? the init string was supposed to be "AT&FE0V1&D2&C1W1S0=0&K3S95=47%c3N1+MS=56" with "\N3" added to it, but when i add just the \N3 it ignores the \ I tried to add \\N3 but still nothing Any ideas. (I know its a simple answer just dont know it ;)). And my 2nd question is, If anyone has this modem is this the Correct Initialization String? Or do you Have one that you could tell me that would work better.

When I changed router O/S, the problem didn't occur. Thank you !!
