With that it is possible to set up a great deal of system specific things like printer setup, user and network (ppp, ...) management, video configuration, sendmail and so on. I am missing that for FreeBSD. Yes, many of you will say that this is like WinDOS, but a powerful system like UNIX with its plenty of admin tools and config files needs too long to set up correctly. I like the power of FreeBSD very much but I am as well happy that I am using it only at home and not in a huge network. ;-) I am really sorry that I can only suggest this and not program it but my knowledge of C is really too small. :-( Nevertheless I hope someone will understand the point and think of implementing it.

It is an ISP server that uses user-ppp to accept dial-ins from attached modems. Before the upgrade the ppp dial-ins worked fine! After the upgrade (finally got the machine going)....I now have a problem where users can dial in, login and connect, and they properly get a ppp session running. All routing etc is fine I use a script on connection to run exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct. However, when the user hangs up, the modem disconnects, DCD drops, but the PPP process stays attached to the port. The user stays logged onto the system even though the physical connection has dropped. When the next person logs in, the modem answers, but they never see the login prompt (thats because the getty programme never gets the device, ppp is still holding on to it!). This happens EVERY logon that uses PPP. I've checked all the config files, they are the same as before... when they were working. And no, I dont think its a cable problem, or modem config problem because if the user logs in via a shell, the device is released properly to getty. This is now becoming critical for us. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

On of the other Win 95 machines also can boot FreeBSD 2.2.5. I have a Zyxel Omni TA 128 setup for DOV Bonded (112k). I believe my ISP is using Livingston Port Master equipment. It took awhile to get pap working right but, it seems to login fairly quickly and smoothly execpt for the problem at the end of message. While on the local consol or the other FreeBSD box is booted up and I do an FTP I get the expected 10 to 11K (serial port 115K limitation). However when I boot up under Windows 95 and FTP to the SAME sites that worked moments ago at 'full speed' I get like 5 to 6K tops. I can open two FTP sesions and get 10K to 11K combined but, not 10K to 11K on a single sesion. This is over the SAME connect in the same period of time (a min or two to reboot other OS and get it going) to the same sites. I would have posted my logs but, I don't think the answer is in ppp.log as it works on the same connection. Also sometimes the gateway machine logs in and see the internet and then shortly there after looses the net. It is still dialed up but I can't ping anywhere. I am figuring this is probably unrelated and something on the ISP side. Whatever logs or .conf files or whatever needed to resolve either problem available upon request. Thanks.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Basically, I've got a Cirque Input Center, which is a keyboard with a three-button glidepoint built into it. However, it's practically unusable under X for me for a few reasons. First and most important, unlike the Alps Glidepoint Keyboard, with no glidepoint specific drivers, gestures are enabled in the Cirque product, and are far too sensitive for my light touch. Second, without drivers, the Cirque product hardwires the middle button to be the same as the left button. I've already asked Cirque if any programming information is available, and received no reply. I've looked around on the net, and found nothing that might help. So, I'm reduced to either hoping someone else has solved the problem, disassembling the Windows driver, or wiring a unix box between a Windows box and the glidepoint, and attempting to reverse engineer the actual serial port protocol, not something I look forward to. So, has anyone done this before? Or can anyone tell me what is necessary to snoop the protocol?

Which BIOS is this? If your cd is on it's own ide controller (channel) then it will be fine as a master, however, if it's sharing a controller with the hard drive, the boot device (usually the hard drive) needs to be the master.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have some decisions to make before upgrading to 2.2.5 CD (and commencing a permanent modem Internet connection). I seek your advice, RTFM pointers, reassurance or spanking. Failing that I'll muddle on as usual :-) === Hardware: sd0 2gb, pretty fast dos; extended; NTFS; 1gb FreeBSD 2.2.2 (CD, upgraded from 2.2.1) sd1 1gb, fast enough linux only sd2 500mb slow as old Bill FAT logical drives for data storage. No good backup facilities (sd2 FAT, floppies, ancient brain-dead Archive Viper, paper) Wetware: 1 year FreeBSD, more experience installing it than using it :-) Extensive DOS experience. Very keen to read manuals if and only if I have the prerequisite knowledge that they assume. Partition Magic available. IBM boot manager working. Intention: Get rid of Linux, gain 1gb. Upgrade to 2.2.5 CD and configure for new permanent modem connection. Solve chronic disk space shortage, particularly for X apps and /usr generally. Make room to install sources if they're a good thing to have around (why? how much space required?). For now the system will be used by me and a few friends foes and family, for web site development, man page reading, and lots of email. === She's gonna do... what?! I could perhaps leave the 2.2.2 alone, it works, my data's there, and install 2.2.5 on the Linux drive, make a fresh start, copy old stuff over as required, and later on reformat and acquire the extra 1 gb space from sd0. A sloppy but comfortable method initially. Later I'll need to know how to reformat and incorporate the old 2.2.2 drive into a working 2.2.5. Alternatively I could upgrade the working 2.2.2 on sd0 to 2.2.5, pulling in sd1 at the same time. This seems to be the Right Thing To Do. I'm concerned that the last upgrade was not perfect, losing the use of some existing stuff in bin. Posts here mentioned the loss of ps but my ps works fine, I lost killall and which and a couple of others, and for some reason I couldn't follow the remedy given for ps. Maybe an upgrade will fix this anyway? I'm not sure whether I ended up using the correct set of /etc files, the instructions on this seemed ambiguous to me, so I flipped a coin and edited them into submission :-) If I take the upgrade-and-kidnap-linux-disk route, is this humanly possible and how should I organise things? Putting swap over on sd1 makes sense (64mb RAM, 130mb swap) but will it be obvious to me how to get rid of the old swap during installation? Does it still make sense if /usr is on the same disk? I like playing with different software, some quite large, eg. tex and emacs and star office would be nice but won't fit, nor will FreeBSD sources. I could put all of /usr on the new disk leaving /home (already separate) on the old, or I could just put X11 stuff and leave /home on the new disk. Unless there's big performance or impossibility issues. Sure, many of these decisions are largely dependent on my use and preferences, but I need at least to be pointed at the smorgasbord, and shown where the sharp knives are. And the kernel. I like my funny little kernel the way it is. Can I simply take the old config file and rebuild it under 2.2.5 without brain input? Phew! Take your pick. Any comments muchly appreciated.

The file you seek is in quite a few places, including in tarballs (of sorts) on the installation CD-ROM. However, it's not surprising you didn't find it: The gzipped tarballs are there, but they've been split into subfiles. There are several ways to get the file you mentioned, /etc/rc.conf: 1. Get it from the "source" distribution tarball. Mount the installation CD-ROM. `cd' to its "bin" subdirectory, and run the following command. That command will put the gzipped tarball back together again, uncompress it, and extract "etc/rc.conf" onto standard output, which is then redirected to "/tmp/rc.conf". Note the lack of leading "/" in "etc/rc.conf". cat setc.?? | tar xzfO - etc/rc.conf >/tmp/rc.conf 2. Get it from the "bin" distribution tarball. Mount the installation CD-ROM. `cd' to its "bin" subdirectory, and run the following command. cat bin.?? | tar xzfO - etc/rc.conf >/tmp/rc.conf This will take longer than #1, since the "bin" tarball is enormous. 3. Get it from the source CD-ROM. This time, you don't need to worry about a tarball at all; "/etc/rc.conf" exists as a separate file on the live file system. Put the "live file system" CD-ROM in your drive and mount it. You'll find "rc.conf" in the "etc" subdirectory on that disk. 4. It's also in the CVS repository disk, if you have Walnut Creek's 2.2.5-RELEASE CD-ROM set. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Westheimer's Discovery: A couple of months in the laboratory can frequently save a couple of hours in the library.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have some decisions to make before upgrading to 2.2.5 CD (and commencing a permanent modem Internet connection). I seek your advice, RTFM pointers, reassurance or spanking. Failing that I'll muddle on as usual :-) === Hardware: sd0 2gb, pretty fast dos; extended; NTFS; 1gb FreeBSD 2.2.2 (CD, upgraded from 2.2.1) sd1 1gb, fast enough linux only sd2 500mb slow as old Bill FAT logical drives for data storage. No good backup facilities (sd2 FAT, floppies, ancient brain-dead Archive Viper, paper) Wetware: 1 year FreeBSD, more experience installing it than using it :-) Extensive DOS experience. Very keen to read manuals if and only if I have the prerequisite knowledge that they assume. Partition Magic available. IBM boot manager working. Intention: Get rid of Linux, gain 1gb. Upgrade to 2.2.5 CD and configure for new permanent modem connection. Solve chronic disk space shortage, particularly for X apps and /usr generally. Make room to install sources if they're a good thing to have around (why? how much space required?). For now the system will be used by me and a few friends foes and family, for web site development, man page reading, and lots of email. === She's gonna do... what?! I could perhaps leave the 2.2.2 alone, it works, my data's there, and install 2.2.5 on the Linux drive, make a fresh start, copy old stuff over as required, and later on reformat and acquire the extra 1 gb space from sd0. A sloppy but comfortable method initially. Later I'll need to know how to reformat and incorporate the old 2.2.2 drive into a working 2.2.5. Alternatively I could upgrade the working 2.2.2 on sd0 to 2.2.5, pulling in sd1 at the same time. This seems to be the Right Thing To Do. I'm concerned that the last upgrade was not perfect, losing the use of some existing stuff in bin. Posts here mentioned the loss of ps but my ps works fine, I lost killall and which and a couple of others, and for some reason I couldn't follow the remedy given for ps. Maybe an upgrade will fix this anyway? I'm not sure whether I ended up using the correct set of /etc files, the instructions on this seemed ambiguous to me, so I flipped a coin and edited them into submission :-) If I take the upgrade-and-kidnap-linux-disk route, is this humanly possible and how should I organise things? Putting swap over on sd1 makes sense (64mb RAM, 130mb swap) but will it be obvious to me how to get rid of the old swap during installation? Does it still make sense if /usr is on the same disk? I like playing with different software, some quite large, eg. tex and emacs and star office would be nice but won't fit, nor will FreeBSD sources. I could put all of /usr on the new disk leaving /home (already separate) on the old, or I could just put X11 stuff and leave /home on the new disk. Unless there's big performance or impossibility issues. Sure, many of these decisions are largely dependent on my use and preferences, but I need at least to be pointed at the smorgasbord, and shown where the sharp knives are. And the kernel. I like my funny little kernel the way it is. Can I simply take the old config file and rebuild it under 2.2.5 without brain input? Phew! Take your pick. Any comments muchly appreciated.

Just use expect - it's much, much simpler and doesn't involve mucking with the /etc/master.passwd directly. -- "This space intentionally has nothing but text explaining why this space has nothing but text explaining that this space would otherwise have been left blank, and would have otherwise been left blank." - Procurator Odiosus de Infernis From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 7 16:15:03 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id QAA06163 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 7 Dec 1997 16:15:03 -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 QAA06149 for ; Sun, 7 Dec 1997 16:14:56 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id QAA11971; Sun, 7 Dec 1997 16:14:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Sun, 7 Dec 1997 16:14:30 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: MaxImiS KilLsAnO cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: hi sorry i send wrong message In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 6 Dec 1997, MaxImiS KilLsAnO wrote: > > Helo again .Last nigth i have a big problem from sendmail.cf > I define my aliases in /etc/aliases so it is to big .. > and i heard that if I define my aliases in other file and I write in > sendmail.cf ( /etc/sendmail.cf) ( sendmail Version 8.8.2 ) > sendmail.cf: How could you make your aliases file ``too big''?

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.

If the system runs out of swap, then (unfortunately) you need more swap space. You will need to partition your disks to add more space, or maybe another drive.

To get an idea of memory usage on processes, you can cat /proc//map. That doesn't tell you exactly what you want to know though (swap space). That would be an interesting "fun" project to add to procfs though. (That project is specifically one that I think of while laying in bed, and forget about by the time that the morning comes around.)

You con't need wormcontrol along with cdrecord. cdrecord is a standalone utility: It doesn't depend on the kernel worm routines but implements its own devices.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This weekend, I finally re-installed BSD on my home system.The boot drive is a 1.6g EIDE drive. I also have an adaptec 2920 with two FAT32 drives, and one drive I will set up for BSD. The main drive is partitioned 500mb FAT16, ~1.1g BSD. In that partition, I have /, /var, /usr, and swap. During the course of a normal reboot, I came up with "automatic filesystem check failed-HELP!", and what caused it is that /dev/wd0s2(b|e|f) had disappeared. /dev/rwd... are all there, so I could fsck to my heart's content, but couldn't remake the devices, because MAKEDEV would return "chown: not found" and exit. I will put together a floppy today that should fix this, but my concern is this is the nth time this has happened to me, and all with "shared" ide drives. I've searched the lists, and can't find anything about this, nor in any of the docs I perused. I use DOS fdisk, do _not_ enable "support for large volumes" or whatever the option is for FAT32 fs, and as a quirk from watching Macs blow up daily at FWB, always low-level format any drive before repartitioning. Does anyone have any advice as to how to stop this, or is this something that only I am seeing? BTW: this has happened with BSD: 2.1.5, 2.2, 2.2.2, 2.2.5, and 3.0(various) on three machines. --- E-Mail: Joshua Fielden From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 8 06:54:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id GAA11582 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 06:54:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from emu.sourcee.com (emu.sourcee.com [199.201.159.173]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id GAA11576 for ; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 06:54:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from nrice@emu.sourcee.com) Received: (from nrice@localhost) by emu.sourcee.com (8.8.7/8.8.3) id JAA21071; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 09:53:39 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <19971208095338.55103@emu.sourcee.com> Date: Mon, 8 Dec 1997 09:53:38 -0500 From: Norman C Rice To: "Dmitry V.

Anyway, what I figured on doing was: Boot old disk. create and newfs my partitions on my new disk use dd, tar, cpio, dump/restore to move stuff. Seem reasonable? I'm thinking dd of the raw partitions would be easiest, but then I wouldn't be able to increase partition sizes with it. Will I have to worry about the boot block?

I was wondering if it were possible to tweak a modem initiazation string to get faster performance. I had been using a 14.4 Wang FAXmodem, and my ISP only supports 33.6k logins. So I choose speed = 38400. However, It seems like the download speed is faster, but not as fast as it should be (i.e., only 1.5 - 1.8 x what I was getting at 14.4k). The output of netstat -w 5 with the new modem says 10000 - 12000 most of the time whereas with 14.4 I was getting 7500 - 9000 bps. Maybe this is a phone line noise problem or an ISP problem? Would a different init string solve this do you think? I've heard other people complaining about apgrading their modems but the download speed doesn't increase proportionaly with the speed of the modem; seems like it follows a logarithmic curve instead a linear curve in terms of improvements. Also, is it possible to see what speed I'm connected at with ppp -background? I don't see this in the log files. Maybe it would be useful to have some command-line tools to check on connect speed and other parameters even after ppp is started in the background with ppp -background.

The reason should be that the msdos driver only writes in blocks <=4K, whereas the ffs(?) driver writes larger blocks. I have been told to reduce the blocksize by means of minphys(), but I really don't know how. I have searched /usr/src/scsi/*, and have found some mentioning of minphys, but not how to limit the size.

My name is Wayne, and I just purchased FreeBSD 2.2.5 from Walnut Creek. I am now trying to install it in my Pentium 200 - with 64M of RAM, and having a few problems with it. I hope I don't overload you with the info below, but I figured better to much than too little. Let me tell you about the hardware I have first. I have an Intel Pentium 200 (in an Asus motherboard) with 64M of RAM. I have no IDE/EIDE hard drives or CD-Rom drives attached to this motherboard. I have an Adaptec 2940 UW controller card (BIOS 1.23), with a Quantum Atlas II 9.1G UW SCSI Drive (SCSI Device 0), IRQ 12. I also have a Plextor 12 plex SCSI Cd-Rom drive (SCSI Device 3). I use a Seagate / Conner Tapestor SCSI 4G/8G tape drive for backups (SCSI Device 2). I am using a Matrox Millinnium 4 MB video card - IRQ 11, and a CardWare Labs Inc (CWLI) network board -IRQ 9 (BSD & NT recognize it as a Realtek card - not sure why). The Hard drive is a UW drive, cabled to the UW port on the card. The tape drive and CD-Rom drive are 50 pin SCSI, and cabled to the 50 pin SCSI port. The card is set in the bios at ID #7, and multiple LUNs/boot devices are enabled. Let me explain my drive partitioning setup, where I would like to install BSD, and what has NOT worked so far. >From the OS/2 Boot Manager Menu - I am redoing my drive, so the FS Type on all are Unformatted: Name Status Access FS Type MBytes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Startable Primary Boot Manager 7 DOS 6.22 Bootable C:Primary 2000 Warp 4.0 Bootable D:Logical 2000 NT 4.0 Bootable E:Logical 2000 Misc Stuff Bootable F:Logical 1500 BSD 2.2.5 None G:Logical or :Primary 1161 I have booted via 3.5" Diskette, and CD-Rom. Since the CD-Rom works fine, I'm sticking with booting via my Plextor. I put in the BSD CD, and reboot. It comes up with the first boot menu, and I let it go. I then use the menu that says something like "Boot in Visual Mode", and I use that to configure my system. I take the bus mastering stuff out, the Adaptec 15X stuff out, Most of the NIC cards out, and get the settings down to what I have in my system with the correct IRQ's (my motherboard shows them after the BIOS info) and no conflicts. When I Save it and continue, it recognizes the IDE ports on my board correctly at 14 & 15. It recognizes the CardWare Labs NIC card as a RealTek card correctly at IRQ 9. It recognizes my Adaptec 2940 UW card corretly at IRQ 12, and then says waiting for SCSI Devices to settle. It then says the 2940 is not responding. It makes no sense to me that the card isn't working. The card is working fine. The Plextor is booting off the 2940. This system has worked correctly under DOS, NT, and OS/2 for months now. FreeBSD recognizes the EXACT Adaptec card, so I am sure it has drivers for it. What is happening here? HELP - PLEASE!! Here is what I see on the screen (relating to the 2940), as close as I have written down: ahc0: Adapter 2940 Ultra SCSI Host Adapter rev0 inta irq12 on PCI0:10 ahc0: Aic0 (I think the AIC0 is correct) 7880 Wide Channel SCSI Id=7 16SCBS ahc0: Waiting for SCSI devices to settle (ahc0:0:0) Quantum XP39100W LXY4 Type 0 Fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct Access 8682MB ahc0: Board is not responding ahco:2:0 SCB 0x0 - timed out in datain phase sCSI SIGI=0x44 It then tries ahco:2:1, ahc0:2:2 - and on and on. It fails on them all. I don't understand why. Can you explain what is going on here to me? What do I need to do differently? Also - From the Boot manager menu above, I want to install BSD on the last part of the drive. Is there any problem with this that you can forsee? Should I make it a logical or primary partition? The other OS's won't recognize that part of the drive, but I am guessing that UNIX will, since it was built on/for SCSI devices. Can you also give me advice on the best way to configure the drive partitioning for BSD? Will I be able to use Boot Manager to boot to BSD? Sorry for the multiple questions, but I would like to get this all straight ASAP. While I have all of my system information here I wanted to ask the experts. Thanks in advance for your help, I am lost here. Wayne. P.S. I have copied myself into both my home ISP and work email address, as I want to be able to solve this problem ASAP. If I get mail during the weekday I can respond with any questions you might have ASAP. Thanks again.

If you delete the second slice, all your windows will be gone, gone, gone (many people argue that that is not a bad thing...). It looks like part 1 is reserved as a boot sector, that doesn't make much differance if this is the second hard disk, but if you ever want to make this disk bootable (for a different computer for example...), you should probably use at least a dos boot sector to save it... Slice three looks like it is maybe just some space above what your version of dos or windows can access. If you delete slice number 2, it will combine with any empty slices of either side of it, and you'll have a large chunk of unused disk you can make into a freebsd partition, but you won't have dos/windows on the disk anymore (nor any data that was there before)... There is a freeware utility called FIPS that can break that dos partition down into 2 smaller partitions, and then you can delete one of those. good luck, Jesse Kipp zaphod@imailbox.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 8 11:59:23 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id LAA05022 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 11:59:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from skylink.skylink.net (skylink.skylink.net [206.25.34.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id LAA05017 for ; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 11:59:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from animal@skylink.net) Received: from skylink.net (animald.skylink.net [207.49.182.3]) by skylink.skylink.net (8.8.5/4.1.4) with ESMTP id LAA25064 for ; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 11:59:12 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <348C51E6.D1EA378B@skylink.net> Date: Mon, 08 Dec 1997 12:00:38 -0800 From: lattamoreo X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.02 [en] (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Network Help (Cable Modem) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I use my bsd box over ppp and that is it....

Second thing would be to asses what programs you have. For packages you can do pkg_info -ia. Not really sure about ports. Dont' backup anything you can get from CD or Internet (given it is not too huge). My last install I backed up my files to a couple of floppies. The rest was things that I could get off the CD or the net. >Intention: Get rid of Linux, gain 1gb. Upgrade to 2.2.5 CD and configure >for new permanent modem connection. >I could perhaps leave the 2.2.2 alone, it works, my data's there, and >install 2.2.5 on the Linux drive, make a fresh start, copy old stuff over >as required, and later on reformat and acquire the extra 1 gb space from >sd0. A sloppy but comfortable method initially. Later I'll need to know >how to reformat and incorporate the old 2.2.2 drive into a working 2.2.5. My recommendation.... I think your stated approach above is partially your best option. Get sd1 going, migrate your data from sd0 using whatever backup media you used to store your primary files. I recommend this so you make sure you backed up all necessary files. Practice seting sd1 up, a week later blow away the FreeBSD space on sd0 and use sd1 too at that stage. The reasoning behind this is that you can experiment with sd1 and make sure you have a reasonable backup and then come up with a strategy which is best suited for your needs. I am not sure of the terminology but.... To reuse you 2.2.1 FreeBSD and the new you only need to delete the old file systems and make new ones. No need to re-partition. Use the same spaces that were previously used. This is MUCH safer than going at re-partitioning the exact same space. Once you have both drives ready to make new file systems put some swap spaces on both drives. From what I have read you can gain some performance by doing this. You may also want to consider using sd2 (or part of it) to have a "play" FreeBSD setup where you can install new releases, etc, etc.. etc... On my case I have lost data so many times that I have learn to backup anything important (usually small files anyway). I always do my installs from "scratch". No upgrades, no migration. I start with making new filesystems. So far no problems. Good luck and Backup, Backup, Backup! >From the 7 times I have completely lost data in hard drives only once it was a problem (disk died). The rest of the times it was me who managed to delete entire drives by doing mistakes (ie trying to install a different boot manager other than OS/2's).

DNS search order and search domains is stored in /etc/resolv.conf, the gateway in /etc/rc.conf should not be set if you're using usermode PPP. Instead, set your hostname in rc.conf to be: hostname.domain.com Then, set up your ifconfig lines in /etc/rc.conf like the following network_interfaces="lo0 tun0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_tun0= Then, create a file /etc/start_if.tun0 In it, put the line that starts up user PPP. For me it's ppp -auto -alias demand (see man ppp) This only works for dial-on-demand connections, however. But that's really not a problem. Brian Somers has made the PPP docs pretty straight-forward, so setting up a connection script and dial-on-demand isn't too bad. That should do it for you. By following the PPP docs the rest of the way, you should be on-line.

I would like to apply fixes for both to systems that are running 2.1.5 and 2.1.7 I cannot really upgrade these systems to 2.2.5 at the moment, not without a lot of pain anyway. So I would like to apply patches to the current running systems if at all possible. The web page says use cvsup, and I have actually copied over the binary distribution, but the manual implies that there are no updates for the 2.1 branch. My question is thus pretty simple, what is the best way for me to apply patches for these problems? Can I use cvsup just to upgrade the kernel, or should I try and merge in the patches for 2.2 into my 2.1 systems? Or am I stuck with no option but to fully upgrade to 2.2.5? Sorry if this is an FAQ, I have searched the archives and scanned the newsgroup, but I have not seen anything authoratative on this yet.

The reason being that the 2.1 branch has been locked in stone for about 6 months now, and if people like me have my way, it will never be touched again. Asking people who volunteer their time to fix something that you can and should fix yourself is frowned on. Fortunately for you, I have no say in things. :) The good news is that unless you allow untrusted users on your machines, the f00f bug is not a problem. If you do, upgrading to 2.2.5-Stable is your best bet anyway, since there are a number of other security problems fixed since the 2.1 days. The land.c bug can be solved with one line added to your firewall. If you haven't already, read up on ipfw, make the appropriate changes in /etc, compile a new kernel with ipfw, and reboot. You want a rule that prevents incoming packets that have the same address as the machine itself. I have the following rule on my machine: 00050 deny log ip from 204.210.32.25 to 204.210.32.25 in recv ep0 Hope this helps, Doug From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 8 14:17:37 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id OAA19646 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 14:17:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from attila.stevens-tech.edu (root@attila.stevens-tech.edu [155.246.14.11]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id OAA19619 for ; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 14:17:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from wweng@attila.stevens-tech.edu) Received: from attila.stevens-tech.edu (attila.stevens-tech.edu [155.246.14.11]) by attila.stevens-tech.edu (8.8.5/8.8.3.1) with SMTP id RAA11394 for ; Mon, 8 Dec 1997 17:10:47 -0500 (EST) Date: Mon, 8 Dec 1997 17:10:47 -0500 (EST) From: Wei Weng To: freebsd-questions Subject: memory leak in xwindows?

You want to set the computer's baud rate the fastest that the modem supports without the computer dropping characters. In their default configurations, most modems enable compression which gets you a faster data rate than without. You'd have to check the command reference for the Sportster to make sure that 33.6 performance is enabled. > Also, is it possible to see what speed I'm connected at with ppp -background? > I don't see this in the log files.

You can enable additional log levels. `set log chat' will get you the login info which includes the CONNECT line.

The easiest thing to do is to petition your network administrator for a static IP address. This way you can access your machine remotely. Feed the IP address they give you to the ifconfig_ed0 line in /etc/rc.conf, the hostname in the hostname line, and you should be set. If they won't grant you a static address and your network uses DHCP, you need to fetch the wide- or isc-dhcp port from http://www.freebsd.org/ports/net/.

Still using the crappy part of my computer for networking. GRRR. When I manually delete ALL/add 0 0 HISADDR, I can at least get a response. When I try to do any networking, I can at least get a domain name resolution. So, if I "telnet freebsd.org" I will keep sending packets, it will say trying "xxx.xxx.xxx....", so that one packet containing the resolved host name comes back over the line, but then it just drops the other 800 packets I try to send. Is this an incorrect routing? In other words, am I routed to their name servers but not their actual traffic servers? Do I need to call these guys and find out the IP's of their hub server or something equally crufty?

I didn't know the standard getty supported the "ic" capability yet. But even if it did --- you _really_ don't want to do it that way. If ic works (anyone?) then it is best used to send an "AT" to lock the modem's port speed. (IMHO) > > to 115200. [snip] > anyone used these modems before? Yes, I have used them. They're not much different than any other "Hayes compatible." > is the gettytab/chat stuff slightly broken? I set up my modems this way: Turn off echoing and error reporting. (E0Q1) Set hardware flow control. (&K3) Set the modem for _reset_ on carrier drop. (&D3 [check this]) Set DCD to follow carrier. (&C1) Set DSR active after answer & inactive on carrier drop. (&S1) And, of course S0=1, if you want dial-in. Store all of this in profile 0. The theory is this. "getty" gets confused when 'chatter' comes back from the modem. (You are looking at hardware lines, after all, if you want to go beyond 9600 baud.) So what you want to do is shut up the modem and let the hardware lines do their job. Turning of echoing and reporting keeps the modem from chattering with getty. The rest means that when you have a live connection, carrier detect goes high (or low -- I can't remember) getty knows someone is knocking at the door and spawns a login prompt. When the user hangs up, carrier drops and getty know they are gone and respawns. The _modem_ knows the carrier droped, hangs up and resets, loading profile 0 which makes it ready for the next connection. If you want to use something like UUCP or pppd, make the first command sent "ATE1Q0 OK" which will turn on the echoing you need for the chat. When carrier drops, you reload profile 0 (which is quite) and getty is happy as a pig in a mud hole. The drawback to this approach is: if you want echoing (for whatever reason) you have to turn it on yourself. However -- I've used this approach for years on a number of different Unices, and it works fine _all_ the time for shared use (dial-in and dial-out on the same port.) Even though some would disagree, and uugetty or mgetty let you do it the echo way, I like this the best.

Basically, what you need are two Ethernet boards and some cable to connect them. If you're only connecting two machines, you can use a "crossover" UTP (twisted pair) cable, or you can use coax, which had the advantage of being extensible to more than two systems. You can buy cheap Ethernet boards (NE-2000 compatible) for about $25-30. UTP is cheaper than coax, but if you connect more than two systems with UTP, you'll need a hub. Even cheap hubs cost over $100. Does this answer your question? Otherwise, let's hear what you need to know.

I suppose my problems could be related to a bug in X since I run xdm at startup. Exactly what is the problem like? It causes my entire system to freeze, forcing a reboot (and resulting in a lot of files being lost during fsck :/ ) I have not been able to get a crashdump file, yet, however that was possibly due to my not configuring it properly.

Well, it *is* possible to connect a second monitor to a FreeBSD box--in fact, that's exactly the setup I have at home. But there are serious restrictions. The most important is that you can connect another monitor, but you can't connect another keyboard, so both monitors run from the same keyboard. The standard way to do it is under X, running the multi-head X server from Xi graphics ($$$). The alternative, which could even be cheaper, is to connect a serial terminal to one of the serial ports. You should be able to pick up a serial terminal second hand quite cheaply. None of this is very exciting. That doesn't give you an X display, of course, unless you use an X terminal, which would require an Ethernet connection, but you'll probably find it easier to install a second machine, maybe a smaller one (old 386) which would just need to run the display and connect to the first machine for the processing. Again, of course, you'd need an Ethernet connection, though you could possibly use PPP instead. > Local (Nampa, Idaho) and Anchorage custom computer folks don't have a > clue as I've been able to learn so far (one I thought to be among the > better of Anchorage cc's even told me Unix is old, outdated and not > used much anymore and would hear nothing to the contrary).

If you look in /var/mail at your mail file you will see it is owned by yourself. Since you have ownership of it, it should count against your quota. We have observer that this is not the case. So we ask, "What is going on?" >Root has no quotas and therefor does not limit what user gets from >Sendmail. If root makes a file owned by someone else and that file causes a quota violation, the user will get nabbed. FWIW. You can establish a quota on root like any other user. It is not a very good idea though. >When user fetches his mail, his mail is copied to temporary file, under >users name, that has quota, that has exeded! This answer uses IRIX semantics. (I may be making a big mistake here. Bare with me. The man pages seem to agree with what I will say.) Quota establishes a quota on a per filesystem basis. Take a peek at your /etc/fstab. More than likely this system has established a seperate /var filesystem. Also more that likely is that this system has not placed a quota on /var. There is no quota to violate on /var whatsoever. When the user fetches mail, the data is copied into the /usr filesystem from the /var filesystem. The /usr filsystem DOES have quota. Bingo, the user gets nabbed for having more than one meg of storage. Now. About the 800k of mail question. The user may have 200k of other files, which, when added to 800k exceed the quota. ::shrug:: It apears that FreeBSD does not have a 'number of files' limit.

Powerquest (makers of drive copy) have another product that MAY do the job. It is called Drive Image. The litature on this claims it can copy (but, NOT resize) Unix partitions. You can upgrade from DriveCopy to Drive Image for $15 through PQ. I have used both products but, not on Unix or Freebsd partitions. I upgraded thinking I could copy and resize but, it apperently can only copy and NOT resize. So I will have to reinstall to the new larger drive. I may try it anyway if I do I will report back here with results.

If X works on your system without it, you must be using the sc driver (the default). You only need XSERVER if you're using the vt0 driver. I've corrected this for the second edition.

Can anyone help? :-) It's pretty straightforward. Plug it in to a serial port, and set the line in /etc/ttys accordingly. For example, if you were plugging in to the second serial port (/dev/ttyd1), look for a line like this in /etc/ttys: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure Change it to: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown on secure Then enter: # kill -1 1 This will tell init to re-read the /etc/ttys. After that, you should see a process like this: # ps aux | grep getty root 145 0.0 0.0 180 0 v1 Is+ Mon09AM 0:00.07 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd1 At the same time, you should get a prompt on the terminal. If you don't, press Enter a couple of times. One problem you might have is the bit rate of the terminal. The example assumes 9600 bps, no parity, 8 bit bytes (I think). You can check that with stty: # stty -f /dev/ttyd1 -a speed 9600 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoke -echonl -echoctl -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho -pendin -nokerninfo -extproc iflags: -istrip -icrnl -inlcr -igncr -ixon -ixoff -ixany -imaxbel -ignbrk -brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk oflags: -opost -onlcr -oxtabs cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -dsrflow -dtrflow -mdmbuf cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = ; eol2 = ; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = ^T; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W; cs8 says 8 bit characters; -parenb means that parity isn't enabled. The only other thing you need to know is what kind of terminal you have. You'll have to set the TERM environment variable accordingly; if your terminal isn't in the list in /etc/termcap, you should at least know what kind of terminal it's emulating. The terminal will work OK without the TERM variable, but if you don't have it set correctly, things like vi either won't work at all, or will produce complete nonsense on the screen.

I use pop, and I have got those problems, in the first I thought I could snap on my customers fingers when they where doing something stupid (the quota limit for /var/mail is 30MB/40MB) but as you can belive I got nothing.

It seems that some timeout is just a little too short. If I start ppp and then try to check mail from netscape, netscape times out waiting for the modem to dial.

Use the -A option. 3. Limit the number of users who can log into the ftp daemon at one time? As far as I know, stock ftpd doesn't provide that capability. You'll need wu-ftpd. 4.

I recently Installed 2.2.5-Release. The files having been all downloaded and put on an ftp server on my net segment. I Installed a complete new system via ftp to that server. During the installed I asked that the apache server be installed. It was. A few weeks later I decided to make a few change to the servers environment. I had no problem maing those changes but in the process I wanted to know where the httpd was started from. A serch of the process table shows that it starts after Sendmail and I though this would have given me enough insight, but search has ensued and I have to admit failure. I looked in rc,rc.conf,rc.local,rc.network,inetd but I can't find it. Would some kind soul please let me know where it would have been added in the startup. As I really have a problem not understanding what is going on. Thanks in Advance.

If you use "startx -- -bpp 24" X will start up in 24 bit mode. All flags after "--" get passed to the X server itself, so X -bpp 24 would work too. With this observation in hand, you should be able to edit your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file (or similarly named) to launch X -bpp 24 instead of just X. Note that my FreeBSD box does NOT run X, these observations are from Linux withh XFree86 3.3.1 ... but the flags should work for X under BSD too. The Xservers filename and/or path may be different.

I have a problem with samba. I run the freebsd samba-des port (samba-des-1.9.17.4) in a pretty much vanilla setting; home dir, a few shared dirs, no printing (yet). The problem is performance. While Samba is not terribly slow it's still too slow. Copying large files takes about half a minute/meg on an Ethernet LAN with no other activity. Trying to read a file using netscape (file://server/blabla) gets me down to 40 KB/s, or less! One user has put his WinNetscape mail directory on the server, and claims that Netscape hardly starts after this. The machine is fast (PPro 200MHz, three SCSI-UW (w/ 2940-UW controller) disks, 128 MB RAM) running FreeBSD-stable (2.2.5) and it serves nfs, http and appletalk (using netatalk) much faster than samba, so it's probably not related to network hardware. In the same network, there is a P90 w/ IDE disks running NT Server 4 SP3. It outperforms Samba, and this annoys me ;-) Any ideas? Best regards, Palle Girgensohn PS. I enclose my smb.conf, just in case.

Check rc.conf: local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d" # startup script dirs. /etc/rc reads each file in theese dirs that ends with .sh: # for each valid dir in $local_startup, search for init scripts matching *.sh if [ "X${local_startup}" != X"NO" ]; then echo -n 'Local package startup:' for dir in ${local_startup}; do [ -d ${dir} ] && for script in ${dir}/*.sh; do [ -x ${script} ] && ${script} start done done echo . fi Magic revealed! :-) Also note the argument 'start' sent to the scripts. I guess the plan is to add stop also, so that services can be stopped this way (and the machine can more easily be brought down to single user mode). Today, most scripts don't bother about the start argument.

Unless you have a very recent version of 2.2-STABLE/3.0-CURRENT) the default local mailer (mail.local) in Sendmail IGNORES any quota established in the mail spool filesystem. I solved it by changing the local mailer to procmail by adding FEATURE (local_procmail) to my /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/.mc file and then running it through m4 to create a new sendmail.cf file. Recent builds of 2.2-STABLE/3.0-CURRENT have been changed so that mail.local delivers mail AS THE USER rather than as root. As for (qualcomm) popper, by default it creates a "pop_drop" file in the same directory as the mail spool, thus in theory you'd need to have your hard quota set to TWICE your soft quota because it makes a COPY of the mailbox while the customer is downloading mail. The problem though is that by setting a high soft quota, a customer could actually receive more "real" mail than their soft quota and qpopper will puke when it tries to make a copy of the mail file. There is a -DNO_SERVER mode which "zeros" the original mailbox file once it makes a copy in ..pop, but it still has the potential to crap out if the user doesn't have enough space for both the mailbox file and the temporary ..pop file. My solution for this was to recompile popper to write the temporary .pop file into a different unquota'd partition. -- John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions System Administrator @denver.net/Internet-Coach/@ronan.net & Network Engineer 1031 S.

The CPU load average is a mess of different things, including number of processes waiting for disk I/O and other stuff. I've tried to find the code that computes this and haven't had any luck. I think it ended up on -hackers a few days ago, check the mail archives. The number is useful as a relative measure of activity on that particular machine. You can't compare it to other machines. For instance, just writing mail and running rc564 the load averages are 1.52, 1.45, 1.42 on my p133. I've never checked the load average after doing some heavy work on this box. Now, if you looked at the load average on the main CIS computer last week, it was running about 19 and it was starting to loose interactive response. Right now it's 2.04, 1.73, 1.53 with 29 users online and is pretty snappy. It's a 3 processor SparcCenter 1000. The load averages are completely relative.

So here I am... I just installed 2.2.5-Release from CD-ROM. Everything installed fine. But I'm having problems with the ipfw stuff. Even though it's not enabled, ipfw is still 'deny all from any to any', which denies access to ping, traceroute, route etc. Enabling 'allow all from any to any' as a rule fixes this problem, but now I can't ping the router even though netstat -rn shows it to be the default gateway. I want to keep the firewall stuff enabled in the kernel and control it from ipfw, but it appears I'm missing something. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Yup, I have. It's kinda broken as far as I can tell. The stock egcs (~December 12th snapshot) compiled out of the box, and with a little tweaking can be called with -Vegcs-2.90.20. This wouldn't compile the kernel due to a missing symbol, adding the pgcc patches to this, and recompiling pgcc with the egcs produced a compiler (-Vegcs-2.90.20p) that could compile the kernel fine, however it didn't add __DYNAMIC to shared libs, causing ld to bomb out. This is better than the pgcc port (2.7.2.1 based) and the pgcc-current (marked as broken), but still pretty limited in functionality. - alex From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 9 13:26:18 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id NAA07082 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 13:26:18 -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 NAA07063 for ; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 13:26:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.8) with SMTP id NAA18330; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 13:25:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Tue, 9 Dec 1997 13:25:54 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: george cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: some questions In-Reply-To: <3457DAF7.B3319CA1@ti.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Wed, 29 Oct 1997, george wrote: > Since installing freebsd 2.2.2-release I have had some questions to ask. > > 1.

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello. I have been trying for the past 3 hours to get freebsd 2.2.5 to install. I think it won't recognize my cdrom (although the stupid program is begin run from that cd-rom... im confused). Anyway, I dont have a Sony, Panasonic or Matsumi drive, I have a Toshiba Plug 'n' Play drive. How do i get freebsd to install? It gives me a 'No CD-ROM devices found' error when i select cdrom as media to install from. Also when I try to install to a dos partition, it gives me an error and states x32bin.whatever not found - error hit esc. I just want to install it, and get going. I chose FreeBSD because it was recommended, I am a veteran UNIX user, but a novice freebsd install utility user (i did read the docs and the hardware docs). Everything else is fine. If i have IRQ/DMA info for the cd-rom, how do i install it. (Without reusing matsumis or anothers device name, perhaps the utility should allow the addition of / search for other cd-rom devices). Anyway I would appreciate any help you can help me. Otherwise I have 2 choices: Use my four freebsd disks as expensive frisbies, or buy a new cdrom drive. I hope im not being too much of a bastard about this, its just it took 2 weeks to get the cds from the mail, and i was thinking of buying a second hand computer to run it off (just testing it on my main machine at the moment). All help appreciated with open arms. My brain is now sufficently /dev/null'ed that i'll have to give up for the night and try again tommorrow evening. Oagh well. Regards, Darach Ennis.

If you upgrade to 2.2.5R it should go away, otherwise, you'll have to save a good copy which you copy back after coming out of sysinstall. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Dec 9 19:12:12 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id TAA06409 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 19:12:12 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from Tandem.com (suntan.tandem.com [192.216.221.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id TAA06399 for ; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 19:12:10 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: from papillon.lemis.com ([168.87.69.104]) by Tandem.com (8.8.8/2.0.1) with ESMTP id TAA24499; Tue, 9 Dec 1997 19:12:02 -0800 (PST) Received: (grog@localhost) by papillon.lemis.com (8.8.8/8.6.12) id LAA05516; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 11:11:16 +0800 (CST) Message-ID: <19971210111114.21115@lemis.com> Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 11:11:14 +0800 From: Greg Lehey To: Adam Simpson Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: rc.conf getting garbled continuously References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e In-Reply-To: ; from Adam Simpson on Tue, Dec 09, 1997 at 07:16:57PM -0600 Organisation: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, Dec 09, 1997 at 07:16:57PM -0600, Adam Simpson wrote: > Hello, we have a machine here that seems to continually get it's rc.conf > file all garbled any ideas what may be casuing this?

It shouldn't happen on 2.2.5, but you should check the file /stand/sysconfig to make sure it's the latest version.

I bought a recycled 200Mb IDE, cheap NE2000 clone and coax from my dealer, the O'Reilly book on NFS and NIS from the bookstore, grabbed a screwdriver and went to work. Two hours later, I had an X station running in her room. Read a little and got NFS running. Things to watch out for: (This isn't elegant but it works and is cheap) Netscape complains about colormaps due to differing X servers and I have not chased that out since Ruth uses Lynx to browse - dosen't care about spiffy stuff. Be aware that if you mount /usr on the NFS client it will "replace" the client's /usr so you might want to put home directories elsewhere as I did. The NE2000 card needed to have DOS running to configure itself, so make sure you finish that install before wiping out the dos files. Other than that it is a simple ftp install over a network. Read, the manuals and FAQs. If you have any other questions, just post me.

Well the installation starts from the CDROM after using the dos utility.

When you boot did you enter visual configuration mode to get rid of all of the conflicts? Also, Is the jumper on your CDROM set correctly to master or slave? Just because it works in windows does not mean it is correct. Come to think of it... is this CDROM SCSI or IDE? I am guessing its IDE. >If i have IRQ/DMA info for the cd-rom, how do i install it. >(Without reusing matsumis or anothers device name, perhaps the utility >should allow the addition of / search for other cd-rom devices). If the CDROM is IDE, then irq/dma does not matter. More correctly, it does not matter as long as your IDE controllers are set up correctly in the visual configuration editor.

The reponses from two of them are included below. The fact that entirely seperate apps gave me similar errors makes me think that I must have forgotten something. After reading the docs I am still scratching my head. The 'device not configured' error caused me to look in /dev to see if my /dev/mixer was there. It was. I ran '/dev/MAKEDEV all' to no avail. I have the snd0 and sb options compiled into my kernel. I was able to play real audio files and change the volume within real audio. I hope this means that my kernel is correctly set up for sound. Is there supposed to be some sort of 'ioctl' option compiled into the snd0 and sb parts of my kernel? Perhaps the better question is, "What am I missing?"

I had this problem using pppd as well. Routes would hang around, and arp-entries would hang around. I made ip-up remove the route and the arp entry and re-add it. That works for us because we had the auto-pap getty, which runs as root. It's not exactly an elegant solution, but, it worked so I left it. I haven't seen the same problems since upgrading to 2.2.2, although now, I have a different set of problems to contend with. ------------ #!/bin/sh # # A program or script which is executed when the link # is available for sending and receiving IP packets # (that is, IPCP has come up).

The point is that freebsd@ is just pseudo-account to keep the FreeBSD mailing lists to review occasionally. I didn't think (sorry!) that you may answer me; my Re: was too short for you to answer. But yesterday I noticed a funny thing, which may have relation to subject; this is the second reason. The first one is that I think that every directly addressed mail should be answered. As far as I can see, you have a possibility to prevent ppp from dialing on every DNS query. I didn't understand you, 'cos I did it myself _before_ and already forgot the problems with this. The answer is to set up a little nameserver. I even have no static IP and real (non-UUCP) domain name - it works anyway. Of course, you have to be running named... The most useful in doing this was a chapter from Greg Lehey's "Complete FreeBSD Book", describing DNS (I don't exactly know if this book already completed, but could mail this chapter directly to you).

Yesterday I've found that my iijppp completely ignores dfilter rules 4-7 (I watched it by tcpdump -nv and in ppp.log after set log +TCP/IP). I don't know yet what's the deal, maybe ppp-971125 doesn't want to work with 2.2.1-RELEASE or that's my mistake (I've been playing with filters yesterday). When I'll find out the reason, can let you know if this is actual for you. Here's parts of my ppp.conf: # # Don't keep Alive with ICMP,DNS and RIP packet # set afilter 0 deny icmp set afilter 1 deny udp src eq 53 set afilter 2 deny udp dst eq 53 set afilter 3 deny udp src eq 520 set afilter 4 deny udp dst eq 520 set afilter 5 permit 0/0 0/0 # # Don't dial with ICMP packet # set dfilter 0 deny icmp set dfilter 1 permit 0/0 0/0 set dfilter 2 deny tcp dst eq 4321 set dfilter 3 deny tcp dst eq 550 # # Don't dial with DNS packet # set dfilter 4 deny tcp dst eq 53 set dfilter 5 deny tcp src eq 53 set dfilter 6 deny udp dst eq 53 set dfilter 7 deny udp src eq 53 [-snip-] # # If none of above rules matches, then packet is blockd. # > so Squid will fail, saying that the host isn't > reachable (because the IP address couldn't be ascertained).

The problem has to do with the size of the changes, and hopefully, -stable is feature frozen. Every time we try to do something massive in -stable, we break things terribly. This is NOT meant as arrogance or anything, but the problems abound when we try to do things like that. Our regression testing isn't adequate, and so we tend to like to keep -stable "golden." One bad thing, there are times that we do make the mistake of adding something "necessary" and that is usually a heap of trouble. -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 10 08:30:34 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id IAA25204 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 08:30:34 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from dyson.iquest.net (dyson.iquest.net [198.70.144.127]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id IAA25197 for ; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 08:30:31 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from toor@dyson.iquest.net) Received: (from root@localhost) by dyson.iquest.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA00932; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 11:29:14 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from toor) From: "John S.

After doing a non-component related hardware maintanance (replaced the fan in my power supply), i booted up the machine. It booted ok, I logged in, started X windows and pppd. At an xterm, i 'cd'd into a subdirectory, and did an 'ls'. The machine froze for about 15 seconds and rebooted. When the machine rebooted, the kernel panic'd because it could not mount root. Booting off a floppy yeilded similar results, the root partition could indeed not be mounted. Neither could the /usr partition. So i move the harddrive to another machine that i know is working ok. The harddrive appears to have lost its primary superblock. No problem, i'll use a backup superblock. Fsck emits hundreds of DUP and BAD errors, and a few various errors about "EXCESSIVE DUP BLKS", "INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT", After making it through pass 1, pass 2 says that a few first-level directories are empty. It then dies when it cant find an inode. Both the / partition (partition a) and the /usr partition (partition e) have the exact same damage signature. All of the file data is still there ('dd' has no problem finding it on the raw devices), and disklabel(8) shows that the disk label is still intact. Since *both* of the fs's went down and since all the data still seems to be there, that would indicate that it wasnt a hardware failure. Nevertheless, as someone on #freebsd suggested, my filesystems are toast. This then is a two part question: 1) Is there any "easy" way to recover the data without having to resort to my backups which i have to confess are probably a bit older than they should be? 2) What might have happened? Is there something i can do to avoid having it happen again? System specifics: * 486/66, 40 megs of ram, a Conner CFS1621A IDE drive, generally the rest of my system componants are unspectacular (built from parts). * FreeBSD 2.2.2 (built from CD sources) The machine has been in contiuous service since 1994 through a variety of harddrives and systems. This particular harddrive has been running FreeBSD happily for about 18 months now. I do not mount my drives async. Thanks to anyone who might be willing to offer help or suggestions. Thanks to everyone for their hard work. I (and lots of others) appreciate it.

Also, I have done my homework by reading the FAQ cover to cover, and the installation notes plus bits and pieces of The Handbook. Now for what I am attempting to accomplish. I would like to have a few X apps installed to take over the duties of my old tools, primarily a finance/accounting tool (cbb), a spreadsheet, LaTeX, and (of course) X to run them under. Plus a few development tools for development and compiling software. Hardware compatibility is not a problem. The OS installs nicely, recognizing my hardware, as does X, the base system, and selected packages. I use either the Novice or Custom installation options while acclimatizing myself to freeBSD and the install procedure. The problem: the cbb port does not behave properly and even crashes, though it was installed from the distribution CD at install time. This sends me into the pkg realm, scrambling for the approrpiate packages to update for the app to work as expected. Tcl/tk is installed from packages list at install. Perl 5.004001 is installed from packages list at install. I would appreciate suggestions or pointers from those more familiar. Thanks in advance. jmastrol@msc.net From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 10 10:51:06 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id KAA07043 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 10:51:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from ix.netcom.com (sil-wa2-08.ix.netcom.com [206.214.137.40]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id KAA07038 for ; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 10:51:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from tomdean@ix.netcom.com) Received: (from tomdean@localhost) by ix.netcom.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA04033; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 10:50:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from tomdean) Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 10:50:16 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199712101850.KAA04033@ix.netcom.com> From: Thomas Dean To: keith@orbis.net CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-reply-to: <348ED71C.794BDF32@orbis.net> (keith@orbis.net) Subject: Re: printing using lpt0 & HP laserjet 6L Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk What does 'date > /dev/lpt0' do?

First, whenever I installed it form ftp.freebsd.org, it would never see that perl5.00402 (I think?) was required and so it never installed it. I finally was able to get it from one of the main servers and it installed perl as well. However, the installation program apparently did not catch the location of wish4.2 (also required) so it would never run. I unzipped and untar'ed the file and looked at the master copy and saw it needed wish4.2 in the opening line, so I put that in. It seems to be working so far.

Select c. configure, for post-install configuration and then X, configure XFree86. Then select the graphical configuration tool. If this does not run, run it manually from /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86config and check what the error message is. If it is a message stating that it needs a tcl library file, download and install that version of tcl. This is what I did after I forgot how my display was configured and I spent hours trying to screw around with the command line configuration. The graphical tool automatically setup the config for the maximum of what the card could do. In my case with the Matrox Millenium II, the only manual configuration was to use -bpp 32 in the startx script so that the server defaults to the max display depth.

I've already filled up my IDE controllers, so I guess all that's left is to get a floppy tape. From reading the mailing list archives, I can see that the support for floppy tapes is less than perfect. What success has anyone had with these drives? The two I was looking at are the Colorado T3000 and the Seagate Hornet Travan. They use Travan-3 or QIC Wide tapes. Of course, I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows of another drive that works well (and, hopefully, is cheap!) Has there been any advance in floppy tape support in recent releases?

"man 5 passwd" yeilds: YP/NIS INTERACTION Enabling access to NIS passwd data The system administrator can configure FreeBSD to use NIS/YP for its password information by adding special records to the /etc/master.passwd file. These entries should be added with vipw(8) so that the changes can be properly merged with the hashed password databases and the /etc/passwd file ( /etc/passwd should never be edited manually). Alternatively, the administrator can modify /etc/master.passwd in some other way and then manually update the password databases with pwd_mkdb(8). The simplest way to activate NIS is to add an empty record with only a plus sign (`+') in the name field, such as this: +::::::::: The `+' will tell the getpwent(3) routines in FreeBSD's standard C li- brary to begin using the NIS passwd maps for lookups. You might want to do a similar thing for /etc/group. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

I suspect the problem you're *really* having is that the first connection will never work if you've got a dynamic IP address. The connection is initiated using one IP, and by the time the packet is actually sent, the interface has been assigned a different IP and your ISP never routes any of the traffic back. I'm working on fixing this at the moment. -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....

X-Mailer: VM 6.33 under Emacs 19.34.1 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I love my FreeBSD box. Oh, sure, I go to my Macintosh when I do graphics work, and I go to my NT box when I feel the urge to lose some hair, but the machine that does the most work around here is the FreeBSD box, mostly because the NT box has shown itself to be inadequate at *so* many things. For example, one of the things I was planning on using the NT box for was as a print server, but it turns out that it dumbs down the output (without telling you, of course), so the nice 600 dpi output from the Macintosh becomes 300 dpi after going through the NT box. (This has, by the way, been a constant problem with NT. Either it won't let anything but NT or Win95 boxes talk to it, or it makes things stupid. This is why my FreeBSD box has become so central to my little computer lab here at home.) So I have an HP LaserJet 6MP, a PostScript printer. It has two Centronics- style parallel ports (the normal B, and the smaller C connector) and one Macintosh 8-pin DIN connector, which I assume is a serial connector. The parallel ports are bidirectional, but FreeBSD doesn't support those yet. And the two serial ports on the FreeBSD box are already taken up: one serial mouse (I couldn't get a bus mouse to work), and one modem. Hence, my request for advice. I could try to get a bus mouse to work, but I was unable to last time, and I'd hate to waste my time with that, especially as I also want to eventually add a UPS to the FreeBSD box, and the basic problem ---not enough serial ports---would just come back. So I'm considering getting one of those Boca six-port things, or STB four-port things. Unfortunately, I don't know if I have any IRQs left over (not being that versed in PC hardware), and I haven't seen *any* RJ45->8-pin DIN connectors. Has anybody already run into this situation? If so, how did you resolve it, and what's your current configuration? Thanks in advance. ---Ken McGlothlen mcglk@serv.net mcglk@interscapes.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 10 18:51:13 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id SAA21903 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 18:51:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from freight.msn.bc.ca (pc-21656.bc.rogers.wave.ca [24.112.126.7]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id SAA21885 for ; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 18:51:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bpepa@msn.bc.ca) Received: from freight.msn.bc.ca (freight.msn.bc.ca [24.112.126.7]) by freight.msn.bc.ca (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id SAA08416; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 18:54:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from bpepa@msn.bc.ca) Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 18:54:45 -0800 (PST) From: Ben Pepa To: Ken McGlothlen cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Serial port overload!

Farallon (or shall I say Netopia) uses them for their hub's management cable, but they are NOT in anyway to connect to a Ethernet Network...

Upon reading your message, I could not recall, however, whether modifying a constant was expressly disallowed by the standard or not, so I did some poking around the net. (I haven't actually programmed the language for more than a decade.) The FORTRAN 77 standard is online, if you care; you'll find one copy here: http://kumo.swcp.com/fortran/stds_docs.html In any case, I found a decent enough good description of why constants might be modified, in a year-old post to "comp.lang.fortran" (courtesy of DejaNews). An excerpt is below. To read the entire thread, go to DejaNews (www.dejanews.com), create a search filter to search only "comp.lang.fortran", and search for "modify & constant". ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ In America, any boy may become president and I suppose that's just one of the risks he takes. -- Adlai Stevenson ---------- Begin excerpt from comp.lang.fortran Subject: Re: modify constant? f77 std? From: singular@oort.ap.sissa.it (Poll Dubh) Date: 1996/10/30 Message-ID: <557v27$dc9@sv8.ictp.trieste.it> Newsgroups: comp.lang.fortran [ ... ] 1. The code is indeed erroneous according to the Fortran standard (was already so in the 77 edition). 2. The standard does not specify the behaviour of erroneous programs. Causing an exception is one possibility, but some processors will happily let you overwrite the memory area where the constant is stored instead. (For example, good old CDC machines with 60-bit CPU words had no way of selectively protecting portions of the user address space against overwriting by user code. The exception trigger would therefore have had to be implemented in software, with unwanted overhead even for correct programs.) 3. I'm a little surprised to hear that the SGI, IBM XL and DEC compilers would default to not storing constants in write-protected pages. The hardware support is there, so if they don't do it (and I don't necessarily believe the report that they don't) it's probably that some important customer has legacy code that relies on modifying constants. 4. The example code was (deliberately?) obscuring the fact that the value was overwritten by assigning the original value back to the string. That could make you think that a good optimising compiler might have been able to notice that fact in the routine and optimise away the assignment. Not so, unless it can guarantee that tmpstr is never shorter than str (or decides to test for that case, which is conceivable... Examining the object code generated by the SGI, IBM and DEC compilers for that routine is left as an exercise to the reader.) ---------- End excerpt from comp.lang.fortran From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Dec 10 22:12:24 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id WAA06553 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 22:12:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from super-g.inch.com (super-g.com [207.240.140.161]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id WAA06539 for ; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 22:12:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from spork@super-g.com) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by super-g.inch.com (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id BAA16018; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 01:12:18 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 11 Dec 1997 01:12:18 -0500 (EST) From: spork X-Sender: spork@super-g.inch.com To: Bill Sandiford cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Help with Radius 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 I don't know if anyone fixed the port, but I had the same problem.

When I do, here are the results: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq14 is isa wdc1 not found at 0x170 Linux sees both controllers without problems.

Here's what I've set up with Linux fdisk: /dev/hda3 is the boot partition - and that works OK. I can boot from it. What i've done here is to run FreeBSD's fdisk and disklable utility from the FreeBSD installation procedure, after having reserved the space for it originally with the Linux fdisk. The logical partition I'm trying to get to that is causing me problems is /dev/hdb6 - which is in the extended partition on the 2nd drive. Here also, I've used the Linux fdisk as a placeholder to reserve the space and set the partition type - again with the intention of using the native FreeBSD facilities to actually create a BSD file system. --------------- bash(root)# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 525 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1 60 120928+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M /dev/hda2 61 61 126 133056 63 GNU HURD /dev/hda3 127 127 192 133056 a5 BSD/386 /dev/hda4 193 193 525 671328 5 Extended /dev/hda5 193 193 255 126976+ 81 Linux/MINIX /dev/hda6 256 256 288 66496+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 289 289 390 205600+ 83 Linux native /dev/hda8 391 391 450 120928+ 7 OS/2 HPFS /dev/hda9 451 451 525 151168+ 81 Linux/MINIX Disk /dev/hdb: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 525 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 1 60 120928+ 7 OS/2 HPFS /dev/hdb2 61 61 126 133056 9 AIX bootable /dev/hdb3 * 127 127 192 133056 83 Linux native /dev/hdb4 193 193 525 671328 5 Extended /dev/hdb5 193 193 255 126976+ 81 Linux/MINIX /dev/hdb6 256 256 346 183424+ a5 BSD/386 /dev/hdb7 347 347 437 183424+ 63 GNU HURD /dev/hdb8 438 438 525 177376+ 81 Linux/MINIX --------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 11 00:50:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA20605 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 00:50:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from alpo.whistle.com (alpo.whistle.com [207.76.204.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA20597 for ; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 00:50:44 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from julian@whistle.com) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by alpo.whistle.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id AAA19698; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 00:43:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from UNKNOWN(), claiming to be "current1.whistle.com" via SMTP by alpo.whistle.com, id smtpd019695; Thu Dec 11 00:43:30 1997 Message-ID: <348FA719.2781E494@whistle.com> Date: Thu, 11 Dec 1997 00:40:57 -0800 From: Julian Elischer Organization: Whistle Communications X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Bryan Batten CC: Questions for FreeBSD Subject: Re: Using Extended Partitions References: <199712110126_MC2-2B92-21CD@compuserve.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Bryan Batten wrote: > > > > The logical partition I'm trying to get to that is causing me problems is > /dev/hdb6 - which is in the extended partition on the 2nd drive.

I'm not totally sure what /dev/hdb6 under FreeBSD, The first 4 real partitions are called wd0s1 through wd0s4 The extended partitons are then known as: wd0s5-> wd0s30 (or in your case wd1 for the second drive) But there is some confusion of the order in which various syetems name them so I'm not sure which it will respond to. In /dev, do a sh MAKEDEV wd1s8 and hopefully it will make entries for slices 1 through 8 (though you may have to make them by hand.. I haven't tried recently) if you boot BSD with the -v flag as in: Boot: -v what do you see? There will probably be a clue in there as to which slice is which (even if only by size) If it goes off the top of the screen, just hit and bring it back down with Use to restart operation. Once we've assertained which slice it is, we can chop it up into BSD partitions and make filesystems. julian > > --------------- > bash(root)# fdisk -l > > Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 525 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes > > Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/hda1 1 1 60 120928+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M > /dev/hda2 61 61 126 133056 63 GNU HURD > /dev/hda3 127 127 192 133056 a5 BSD/386 > /dev/hda4 193 193 525 671328 5 Extended > /dev/hda5 193 193 255 126976+ 81 Linux/MINIX > /dev/hda6 256 256 288 66496+ 82 Linux swap > /dev/hda7 289 289 390 205600+ 83 Linux native > /dev/hda8 391 391 450 120928+ 7 OS/2 HPFS > /dev/hda9 451 451 525 151168+ 81 Linux/MINIX > > Disk /dev/hdb: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 525 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes > > Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/hdb1 1 1 60 120928+ 7 OS/2 HPFS > /dev/hdb2 61 61 126 133056 9 AIX bootable > /dev/hdb3 * 127 127 192 133056 83 Linux native > /dev/hdb4 193 193 525 671328 5 Extended > /dev/hdb5 193 193 255 126976+ 81 Linux/MINIX > /dev/hdb6 256 256 346 183424+ a5 BSD/386 > /dev/hdb7 347 347 437 183424+ 63 GNU HURD > /dev/hdb8 438 438 525 177376+ 81 Linux/MINIX > --------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 11 00:54:39 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA20944 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 00:54:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from lafcol (lafcol.lafayette.edu [139.147.8.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id AAA20939 for ; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 00:54:36 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from knollm@lafcol.lafayette.edu) Received: from localhost by lafcol (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id DAA10878; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 03:52:53 -0500 Date: Thu, 11 Dec 1997 03:52:53 -0500 (EST) From: Mike Knoll To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Making a CD Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'd like to make a FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE CD for mass installing.

It looks as if you think you will have to run your 6MP on a serial link. This is a Bad Idea. The 6MP does PostScript, and it transfers data across the parallel port at up to 50 kB/s (500 kb/s). You can't do this on a normal serial link. And anyway, it works fine on the parallel port. I have one, and it just plugged in and ran. I'm sitting next to a 5MP (essentially the same machine) with my laptop, and that works fine too. > So I'm considering getting one of those Boca six-port things, or STB four-port > things.

If so, how did you > resolve it, and what's your current configuration? What I would suggest is: 1. Connect your LaserJet to the parallel port. 2. Figure out why your mouse doesn't work on the PS/2 port, and fix it. 3. If you're still short of ports, get an internal modem next time you need to upgrade the speed, and set it as sio2. Then you'll be able to free up one of the existing ports. In summary, I don't see that you have any reason to buy more hardware at the moment.

FreeBSD 2.2.2 does support them - they map out as 'lnc0'... etc. - Be careful when configuring them - a normal 'visual' kernel config won't let you set the DMA for them (at least that's what I've found) - so either put the correct DMA, IRQ & Port in the Kernel config (I don't beleive these cards actually use the IO mem settings?) - and you should be OK... If you need to change the kernel config and want to do this at boot time, boot with a '-c', then go into 'CLI Kernel configuration mode', and issue commands like:- drq lnc0 7 irq lnc0 9 port lnc0 340 You can then do a 'vis' command to go back into visual mode - just don't delete the lnc0 you just configured... ;-) If you need more help with these cards let me know (we seem to be a magnet for them - they do seem to be pretty fast ISA / Embedded network cards ;-) - At the last count we had 7+ of the things... ) Kp Lars Hansson wrote: > > I have a HP Vectra N2 computer wich has an amd am2100/am1500 compatible network card built in (at least thats what Win95 said and it worked with it...). > However, FreeBSD 2.2.2 doesnt seem to support it.

Yes, we've run Quakeworld and Teamfortress on FreeBSD 2.2.5R. It runs fine, install is straigtforward, just make sure you have the Linux compatibility and libraries loaded. The libraries sit in the root filesystem and take a fair amount of room. If you typically take the "Auto defaults for all" option when slicing the disk, you'll need to make adjustments to the allocation for / so that you have room. If I recall the default is 30mb, you're safe with 60mb.

And if, however, I plase the username itself in ftpchroot file, everything works exelently. May be I am wrong somewhere? Best regards. Iliah.

I may be wrong on this, but if I recall correctly, the BSDI version of the quakeworld server is an older release (ie. the newer releases of quakeworld server are not ported to bsdi). So - if you want a supported and/or newer release of the quakeworld server, you need to take the linux version, so you do in that case need the linux libs.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi! I did a make release on a 2.1.5-RELEASE system to test the building scheme and I have some questions. I'll describe what I understood from the /usr/src/release/Makefile and please correct me if I am wrong. 1 - I have to do a make world in /usr/src. Can I make the world to other directory other than /? How does releng22.freebsd.org handles this (because, from what I've heard and read, the building proccess afects libraries and changing them in a running system is a Bad Thing)? 2 - Then I have to go to /usr/src/release and do a make release after changing some variables in the Makefile. This proccess will install everything built before to the directory pointed by CHROOTDIR which is the directory with lots of free space free space (600MB at least). Do I need those 600MB or can I comment out ftp.1 or cdrom.1 just to have the distfiles to reinstall the system with an updated snap (I only have 2GB of disk -- if anyone knows of some nice slicing scheme good for this send me a note)? It will then check out the sources from the local CVS Repository and will do a nice trick that I really liked that I describe next. 3 - The script will CHROOT itself to the partition with the lots of free space available and then will make the world again. 4 - Lastly it will create the floppies and the tarballs. Thanks Jorge Goncalves PS: Jordan, if you could send me or tell me how does releng22.freebsd.org does the daily building proccess it would make my life much easier :) From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 11 05:53:35 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id FAA13259 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 05:53:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from merit.edu (merit.edu [198.108.1.42]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id FAA13245 for ; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 05:53:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from web@merit.edu) Received: from ohm.merit.edu (ohm.merit.edu [198.108.60.65]) by merit.edu (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA02685 for ; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 08:53:28 -0500 (EST) From: William Bulley Received: (web@localhost) by ohm.merit.edu (8.6.9/8.6.5) id IAA26429 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 08:53:51 -0500 Message-Id: <199712111353.IAA26429@ohm.merit.edu> Subject: Re: Help with Radius To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Thu, 11 Dec 1997 08:53:51 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk According to Bill Sandiford: > Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 23:00:10 +0000 (GMT) > From: Bill Sandiford > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Help with Radius > > I have downloaded Radius 2.4.23 from the ports collection, compiled and > installed on my system.

I just recently bought two of the 4586 drives from corpsys.com and have had to return 3 of them so far. They seem to die when doing dumps after about 4 hours into the dumps. I have them setup under FreeBSD 2.2.5 with an Adaptec 2940UW controller. I have tried to use the changer script from corpsys.com's ftp site and it trashed my hard drives due to what seems to be changes to the scsi command itself. If you could send me any information on how to use these drives with 120meter dds2 tapes and amanda backup software I would be very grateful. I would really hate to return these drives.

Basically I am in a real time crunch jam and need to get the following implemented somehow. Hi All I am stupid when it comes to routing sometimes and I am in a jam now. I need to have a machine that has a bunch of aliased IP addresses in my ClassC (the only place where this class C is used) on it connected to my ISP on his ethernet. In other words, my machine is colocated and lives in 204.228.135.128/25 and I am .142 and the router for that subnet is .129 My subnet is 204.228.145.0/24 . This machine needs to have about 15 IP addresses on it in my subnet 204.228.145.0/24 . Because of my SSL server (Stronghold) the main IP address has to be 204.228.145.132 in my subnet. So I need to have the 204.228.135.142 ISP-net address and that is the default route out for the box and I need t ohave my classC addresses on the box routing out onto the ISP-net. My description above is way contorted but I hope somebody understands it.

I've been there before... One of our customers had an HP 9000 and did very similar (the tape didn't eject and their backup started 'running over' the top of the previous nights backup, then failed...) I spent a day trying to get the data back... Attempts ranged from doing weird & wonderful things with cpio, tar etc. - and ended with me getting a crash course in IOCTL's, device drivers, mt and the way data's written on tape... Unfortunately, at the end of the day (and after searching the internet etc.) - it looked like it couldn't be done easily. The main problem is the moment you hit CTRL-C, the tape would have had a double end marker written to it, and most DAT drives (the numerous ones we tried included Wang, HP, Viper etc.) - will refuse to go beyond the mark, it's practically in the drives firmware. Having said that - we came up with a proposed suggestion - which was rejected at the time, that is to get the DAT to go as far as it can - pull the power on it, then wind the tape on by hand past the fatal end markers - and try from there on (don't ask how we'd stop the tape from being rewound when the system came up ;-)... This was rejected in favour of sending the tapes to a data recovery service - who did manage to get the data back, I suspect either by using similar means () - or by using bespoke software / drivers etc. In my endeavours I'd got as far as the SCSI subsystem, and sending scsi commands directly to the tape, which on an HP 9000 with 2 'fridges' worth of drives (fortunately it was a 'dev' box with not many users logged in, as opposed to a production server) is as scary as I wanted it to get, it was also around then we'd run out of time... (but I seem to remember even at that level the stupid DAT didn't want to go further than the double end markers)... :-( Good luck, and if the data is very valuable try contacting a data recovery service... (ps. Make sure the tapes write protected now!)

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello to all. I am running freebsd 2.2.5. I have recently upgraded my freebsd box from 32 megs of ram to 128 megs of ram. The first time the 2.2.5 GENERIC kernel saw the new memory, the memory was reported correctly. I thought I was on easy street then. After halting the system and rebooting the machine, the kernel only reported about 100 megs of ram and only had about 94 megs availible. I am not sure what happened between the initial detection and the halting rebooting to cause the kernel to see less ram. I next went to the freebsd mailing list archives and did some searching to see if I could find anything related. There was a message from June of this year that talked about building a kernel with option MEMSIZE equal to the amount of ram he had in his machine. Oh great. Time to build a new kernel? :) After reading the handbook and looking at /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC, I realized that option MEMSIZE is not there! :) So. My assumption is that it is no longer needed and freebsd determines this on its' own. So. What would cause ram to be reported correctly on one attempt, and be miss reported the next time? I have tried rebooting several times, with the same effect now, still only 94 megs avail. Any assistance or pointers would be greatly appreciated. BTW. I will send log files if needbe, just didn't want to clutter up the list if something was simply fixed. Thanks.

I windows 95 I have software to do the recepion automatically, wether fax, data, or voice. I got mgety+Sendfax, it handles Data connection quite well, but BRAIN-DEAD on fax, since it insists, for unknown reasons, to use a CLASS 2 or 2.0 Fax devices, which most regretly my modem doeanot support, or at least mgetty+sendfax, and the Vendor manuals say this. I used to have a US-ROBOTICS 28,800 the ones called WinModem, it appears after some digging that the FreeBSD looks to this device with contempt, and refuses even to recognise it as a modem since the Microsoft-US-Robotics consipracy was removing an important piece of hardware from the modem 'a brain chip' and substituting it by a VXD damned software, so I had to change my modem once to run FreeBSD with modem support. Do I have to re-change my modem so I can recieve fax and voice. or Is there a descent software for that. Assuming the same modem in current state, is there a Voice Software for it ?? please help.

Well, I don't use dump or amanda. They're fine for backups, but frequently I need to grab a backup tape and read it in on a system somewhere else, and you can't rely on the other system having a compatible dump or amanda. That's why I use tar, which is pretty universal. Having said that, your symptoms as you describe them don't look like they obviously point to the drive being faulty. I don't use the changer scripts: you can move to the next cartridge with 'mt offline', and that's all I need to do. Could you describe the way the drives "die"? Does that mean they never work again? What I do is basically: TAPE=/dev/nrst0 export TAPE tar c /filesys1 tar c /filesys2 tar c /filesys3 mt rewind # Make a list of what I wrote tar tv >filesys1 tar tv >filesys2 tar tv >filesys3 mt offline In fact, of course, there's a little more shell trickery than that, but that's all that affects the tape drive. As I said, it works fine. Why don't you try my method next time a drive "dies", and see if it still works this way.

The reason why Class 2 or 2.0 is required is that for time-shared systems, critical timing issues using Class 1 cannot be guaranteed by the host. Under Class 2/2.0, this is handled by the modem. If you've got a very light system, you can probably get away by using Class 1, (if the software supports it) but Class 2/2.0 is the preferred option.

I was hoping to get some advice on a non-critical, but very annoying aspect of XFree86 (3.3.1.). running on FBSD-2.2.5 My default resolution is set at 800x600, 16 bits, which I believe to be pretty standard. Unfortunately, many applications in X-land seem to assume resolutions of Hestonian proportions, as if every one has 1500x1500 video displays. Many applications are too large to fit on the screen, and with the virtual desktop disabled (I don't like it, personally), I have to do the ol' right-click-move, resize, right-click move routine on at least half of the applications. Keep in mind, I *have* double-checked that I am in the right resolu- tion (I know about CTRL-ALT-KeyPad+, etc), and while 1024x768 with 8-bit color is theoretically possible on a NEC MultiSync XV14 monitor, I am very uncomfortable with the weird oil-and-water pattern that warps my display if I try this. In any case, even that resolution wouldn't be enough with some apps. If I am lucky, the app. will remember my preferences when I resize (not likely). Often, there are X-resources to set default geometries (often, this works but is a major pain) Some applications, however, (usually games like Xsoldier, Xboing, or xgolddig) refuse to be resized and don't appear to have settable geometries). In some cases, the window fits but the decorations are pushed off the side (I use AfterStep) but, as I said, some would not come even close to fitting on the screen. This wouldn't be a big deal, if it weren't for the fact that it seems that a disproportionately large number of applications do this. Is there any thing I can do to change this? (Short of buying a super- high res, 19-inch monitor with 4megs of video ram). Am I doomed to set *geometry resources all the time (if I'm "lucky")? Or will I have to just deal with it? Sorry about the length of this letter, but this is really getting to be aggravating. BTW, I have the "Virtual" and "Modes" are both set to 800x600 in /etc/XF86Config Thanks, Drifter... --- drifter@stratos.nospam.net (remove nospam to send) "Ever notice that in every commercial about the Internet, advertising geniuses cannot resist having a bunch of kids staring into a monitor, awe- struck, looking at a whale jumping out of the ocean?

Anyway, my question is this: if I add memory to my system, will I have to change the amount of swap space that I have (I currently have 64 megs of swap space) and if so, will I have to re-install FreeBSD to do this? -Jesse Troy jtroy@vt.edu http://www.helium.goof.com/~jtroy From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Dec 11 21:11:25 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id VAA18327 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 21:11:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from goof.com (goof.com [128.173.247.211]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id VAA18321 for ; Thu, 11 Dec 1997 21:11:22 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jtroy@goof.com) From: jtroy@goof.com Received: (qmail 5792 invoked by uid 15009); 12 Dec 1997 05:11:19 -0000 Message-ID: <19971212051118.5791.qmail@goof.com> Subject: olvwm port problems To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 12 Dec 1997 00:11:18 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I installed the olvwm port the other day and discovered that the widnow manager crashes when I run it.

Or is it just me?" If the application supports geometry settings: Start and resize the application and run "xwininfo" from an xterm window. The cursor will change to a cross; move it over to the application and click on it. Information similar to the following will be displayed in the xterm window (I have snipped some of it). xwininfo: Please select the window about which you would like information by clicking the mouse in that window. xwininfo: Window id: 0x100000b "xconsole" Absolute upper-left X: 616 Absolute upper-left Y: 578 Corners: +616+578 -8+578 -8-120 +616-120 -geometry 400x70-3+556 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Notice the geometry in the last line. If you start your application with this as a command line argument, your application will always be sized and placed *exactly* where you want it to be. You can alias your command, e.g., alias xconsole='xconsole -geometry 400x70-3+556' (bash shell), so you can just type "xconsole" to get the desired effect. You can also set up AfterStep to launch the application by specifying the geometry argument within the startup file (.steprc). I hope this helps. I am sure a 2M or 4M video card and a higher resolution display would help too. :-) -- Regards, Norman C.

My question is: - What are differences between being a member of a group and being invited on another group? I have to know this because I've tried to add users automatically by making a little perl script that can read a file with users id in it. Because I use system(adduser -batch $loginname $group $class $fullname $passwd); in my script, the adduser script automatically create group with the same name as user names I've created. I have organized user to become a member of a group (by inviting them to the group I've decided), and I don't want there exists groups with the same name as user names, so I put another line in my script: system(rmgroup $loginname); This script causes the /etc/group file like this: groupfoo1:*:110:user1,user2,user3,user4 groupfoo2:*:111:user5,user6,user7,user8 and deleting the lines (that created automatically before) user1:*:1500: user2:*:1501: ... But when I do vipw, the users lines show that they still being a member of the group I've deleted. user1:$1$passwd:1500:1500::0:0:user full name:/usr/home/user1:usrsh Is this OK or are there any consequences for this case? Do I have to edit by 'vipw'-ing and editing users' groupids? Which one is better: - my steps I've described, or - editing $defaultgroup in /etc/adduser.conf and adding user group by group (so there won't be any groups with same name as user names and not necessarily doing rmgroup) Thanks in advance. -=Hendra=- Internet Development Staff and Student of Duta Wacana Christian University Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

OTOH, having a more responsive system might tempt you to start more processes at the same time, which will use up more virtual memory. In this case, you may find that you need to add more swap. > and if so, will I have to re-install FreeBSD to do this? That depends very much on your configuration. You'll obviously need to find another area of disk to put your swap on (you *can* use a file, but I'd strongly recommend not to do so). If you have the choice, put it on a different disk from the first swap area. If you don't have any additional space, you'll at least have to resize a file system, which involves writing it to tape, removing it, recreating it smaller, and restoring from tape. If the file system is /usr, you'll have to do this in single user mode. If it's /, you'll have to reinstall the system.

Seriously, 800x600 is rather small. I don't know of any board/monitor pair that can't be coaxed to do 1024x768x8, possibly in interlaced mode. I find it very difficult to work below that. I'm currently using such a display on a 14" monitor running off my laptop, and though it's nothing to my setup at home, it's much better than the Microsoft boxes around here which run 800x600 on the same monitors. > Many applications are too large to fit on the screen, and with the > virtual desktop disabled (I don't like it, personally), I have to do the > ol' right-click-move, resize, right-click move routine on at least half of > the applications.

I'd seriously suggest trying 1024x768 for a while and using some kind of root screen pattern to get rid of the moiré.

Create a new boot floppy from the image on your new CD is one way. Then the versions will be the same. Another way is to start in dos and run the install executable on the CDROM.

Such monitors can percipitate moire because of the aliasing between the scanlines and phosphor dots. Since the spot size is small, there is little filtering effect.

When the machine boots and loads the user ppp by the following: 'ppp -auto -alias demand' it dials and connects. If I don't load it thur the rc.conf.local and just load it after it boots then login as root and load ppp then it is ok for the montment. When I ping something on the outside world it dials and connects like it should but then it sometimes will not drop the line after the 5 minutes I have it set for. Or it does drop the line but then dials and connects again. It is like it is running with the -ddial option. There is no tpc/ip traffic on the net as I unhooked my LAN from it to make sure. I have tried this with and without the local DNS running with no change. Also sometimes when I try to ping something it times out (ttl) but it is now set with a higher number but no change.

Using the 4 tape or 12 tape magazine simply results in the drive light flashing briefly and nothing else. According to seagate tech support, that is due to unit actually being 2 different devices and in the manual insertation mode, it acts as a tape drive. Otherwise, the unit functions as a changer. With that aside, the problems that we see are that 3/4 of a way through a tape, the unit begins to give write fault errors and the the drive light begins to rapidly flash. The only way to clear this condition is to hit open/close to force the unit to eject the tape. When in this state, issuing a mt rewind command will result in errors that the device is busy. I will attempt to use the tar command and see what happens. I am not confident at all with this company and their drives. Their (corpsys) techsupport states that they bought these drives wholesale direct from seagate, who sold them because they were all returned for repair and damage. It appears that corpsys rebuilds these units by simply swapping around parts. Who knows? Perhaps the non-refurbished units are worth something. These refurbished units aren't worth a damn in my opinion.

When trying to start smbd and nmbd they both complain that they cant "GetHostbyname...." (or something similar) and then exits. Further investigations reveals that nslookup doesnt resolve *anything*, not the entries in /etc/hosts, not even localhost! (Says it tries to connect to nameserver at 0.0.0.0) However, "ftp hostname" or "ping hostname" works (for hosts in /etc/hosts). This is very puzzling to me. What going on here? Why does ftp resolve and nslookup doesnt? I thought nslookup used /etc/hosts if it couldnt find a nameserver?

Well, I have 16 color EGA! Anyway, no version of FreeBSD will run on a 286. I got a bug to get DOS off the home machine and found Minix. I never really could get it to work right (I always had to boot from a floppy and once Minix was installed I never could get the DOS partition to boot again). Minix was ... entertaining. There was a great program that comes with it called animals. It was essentially a game where the computer tries to guess an animal you are thinking about and if it doesn't get it, you give it some characteristic to store in a database. Here's roughly how it works: Minix> Is it a penguin? Me> no Minix> Give me a characteristic Me>(thinking this is getting stupid already) exit Minix> Is it an exit? Me> quit Minix> Is it a quit? Me> ^C Minix> Is it a ^C? Me> aaarrrrrrgh Eventually I think I rebooted - I never did figure out how to get out of animals. It was nice when you'd play later it would again say "Is it an exit?" :-) Apparently there is some pseudo-X driver out there for Minix and, get this, a children's interface but after finding both of these once I never found them again. I'm back to DOS at home. At least kermit works! :-) Brett (who's answering ON his 286 from home!) ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ If only I could do a benchmark w/ the rc5 client on my 286!

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, I'd like to have both -current and -stable installed on the same drive. It's a 4G SCSI drive, with 4 slices (all FreeBSD). Slice 1 has partitions a and f (32M each), and e and g (200M each). 2.2.5 is already running with / on sd0a and /usr on sd0s1a. sd0f and sd0s1g are reserved for / and /usr for 3.0. I tried installing 3.0 a couple weeks ago, but it didn't work correctly. The existing partitions were mounted, and / set to be newfs'd (so the /dev entries for the slices would be created). Everything installed fine, then I rebooted and found out that it had switched root to sd0a and installed over the 2.2.5 partition (only /, everything else was fine). Reinstalled 2.2.5 (/ on sd0f) and it also switched to sd0a, so I was back where I started. Now that there's a good SMP snapshot out, I'd like to try this again. Questions: - I tried untarring the the bin dist into sd0f, built a kernel with root on sd0f, and it worked (although I didn't really run it for any length of time). But, install does some stuff with permissions and /dev afterwards. What does it do, and is there a way to do it manually? - Is there anything else that assumes / will be on partition a, and could cause it to be corrupted. Would having no a at all fix that? - Is there a way to get the install floppy to actually install to f?

I am using a motherboard from a company call Iwill and it works very well for our WIN95 systems. Under BSD, the serials ports don't seem to be detected. Upon bootup, BSD show "not detected" for both SIO0 and SIO1. For another system with a different motherboard, both are detected. I was able to verify that the serial port indeed work for a mouse on COM 1, since I used a WIN95 bootdisk, load the microsoft mouse driver and ran a mouse based DOS app. The mouse worked fine. Why can't it detect my serial ports???? They are at the standard COM 1 and COM 2 addresses. Is there a way to force it to find them?? Also, does the CD-ROM version of 2.2.5 come with the Apache web server built in or do I have to download this???

A. Use Runtime.getRuntime.exec( myCommandString ) Where myCommandString is something like "/full/pathname/command" I understand that the full pathname may be required (it seems like I've read that rt.exec() doesn't use the path, but that may be incorrect). At any rate, if you don't wish to use the full pathname, try using rt.exec("./stopDHCP") as "." may not be in your PATH. With your shell script, be sure the first line is "#!/bin/sh" and the file is executable (as in "chmod +x stopDHCP"). Otherwise you may need to prefix the command to run your script with "/bin/sh", like rt.exec("/bin/sh stopDHCP").

I started by just adding: device worm0 at scbus? to my config and rebuilding. But I when I try: scsi -f /dev/rworm0.ctl -c "0 0 0 0 0 0" I get: scsi: unable to open device /dev/rworm0.ctl: Device not configured BTW, nothing about worm shows up in messages, but both show up as cds (the Yamaha is cd0 and the Philips is cd1). So, then I poked around /sys/scsi/worm.c and added a line for the Philips. Ok, well, the Vendor-id and model-id come up as IMS and CDD2000/00, and that's what I added. It is a philips drive, I've been using it on a Solaris machine for a couple of years. Any ideas? Should this have gone to hackers? Paul. -- "Babe Ruth is dead.

Select network interfaces and leave the line in for the ie0 driver. Intel provides software to configure their cards (under DOS). Make sure it is set to port 0x300, irq 10, iomem 0xd0000. If you receive any conflicts with these settings, either change the card or the conflicting device, or remove the conflicting device if you don't have it. I assume, btw, you are installing 2.2.x.

To make this even stranger, the reason I compiled the new kernel in the first place was because after that first initial report of memory at the top of this exerpt, the memory had been reported at just over 100 megs, it is still doing that even with this new kernel. Here is a part of my kernel config file.. cpu "I586_CPU" # pu "I686_CPU" ident TWCKERNEL maxusers 10 options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options PROCFS #Process filesystem options "COMPAT_43" #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options "MAXMEM=131072" options FAILSAFE #Be conservative options USERCONFIG #boot -c editor options VISUAL_USERCONFIG #visual boot -c editor config kernel root on wd0 Thanks to anyone who may be able to shead some light on this.

You will get the file exists error unless you use a netmask of 255.255.255.255 like this : ifconfig ed0 198.162.0.1 alias netmask 255.255.255.255 route add 198.162.0.1 127.0.0.1 > Secondly, to save disk space I did > not download source files...that > was a mistake because now I do not > have the files to recook the > kernel.

Yes, the easiest way(YMMV) is to use CVSup, or download the tarballs off the FreeBSD ftp server. Im not sure of the exact URL, but its something like ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/src. Get all the ssys.* and the install script.

First, I apparently have an ESS ES1688 AudioDrive which uses IRQ 5 and ports 220, 330, and 388. I'm not really sure what this is, but is there support for it in FreeBSD. Second, I have a 3Com 3C562 PCMCIA card. It sounds like there is no way to use this with FreeBSD. Is this correct? Third, is there anything special that I have to do to use the IR Serial port (COM2)? Fourth, do I need to specify the system timer (IRQ 0), keyboard (IRQ 1), programmable interrupt controller (IRQ 2), system CMOS/real time clock (IRQ 8), or the numeric data processor (IRQ 13) in my system configuration? I'd appreciate any guidance that you can give me.

Well, it looks pretty small to me. But it depends on the traffic, not the number of users. If each user gets 2 or 3 messages a week and downloads once a day, it's probably adequate. If each user is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers, and downloads every half hour, you'll have problems. What's the user profile like?

Answer #1: Yes, 4.4BSD-lite comes with extensions to FFS that do on-the-fly defragmentation of the filesystem. Answer #2: Unfortunately, due to bugs in (1), we disabled the extensions and although the original bug that caused the problems was fixed, the code has since fallen into a state of incompleteness. We'll need to fix this before it can be re-enabled. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Dec 12 23:37:08 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA02268 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 12 Dec 1997 23:37:08 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from mail.virginia.edu (mail.Virginia.EDU [128.143.2.9]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id XAA02263 for ; Fri, 12 Dec 1997 23:37:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from atf3r@cs.virginia.edu) Received: from ares.cs.virginia.edu by mail.virginia.edu id aa08772; 13 Dec 97 2:37 EST Received: from mamba.cs.Virginia.EDU (mamba-fo.cs.Virginia.EDU [128.143.136.18]) by ares.cs.Virginia.EDU (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA06430; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 02:37:02 -0500 (EST) Received: from localhost (atf3r@localhost) by mamba.cs.Virginia.EDU (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id CAA11457; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 02:37:02 -0500 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: mamba.cs.Virginia.EDU: atf3r owned process doing -bs Date: Sat, 13 Dec 1997 02:37:01 -0500 (EST) From: "Adrian T.

There are a lot of reasons why it does a good jobs at this. You can learn all about it in "The Design and Implementation of 4.4BSD" by McKusic et. al. Basically, the kernel maintains cylinder groups in a filesystem in which it tries to store related disk blocks. This is used to avoid long seeks to different traks on the disk. Disk blocks may be related in several ways. They could be written at the same time, they could be part of the same file, or they could be inodes referenced from the same directory. By keeping these sorts of things somewhat well grouped, you avoid the problems assiciated with fragmentation, i.e. the cost of I/O operations are dominated by head seek times. FYI, the ammount of fragmentation reported for each filesystem when your system boots is the amount of wasted space in unseable fragments of the disk. These are the left over portions of allocated disk blocks that contain some data. e.g. a 1 byte file, will have 1023 bytes of slack in the fragment allocated to it. (assuming a 1k fragment/8k block filesystem.) You generally wil not see this figure get much over a few percent.

They are usually only developers, or people that want to revuild the entire OS with their favorite compiler flags, e.g. -m486, if you are not using a pentium of newer CPU. In somecases you will notice a difference in performance. Most people don't care enough. On a 486/66MHz, it is a 12+ hour process. All you need is the full source distribution. i.e. everything under /usr/src. When you do a "make world", you will rebuild every executable program shipped as part of FreeBSD as well as regenerate a number of config files. If you do a "make install" afterwards, you will replace your installed binaries. Until you really feel that you need to do this, I'd recommend that you stick with rebuilding the kernel only. This is the most important and most rewarding part of the system to recompile.

There's always the (8 bit version of?) minix, which btw will run on an original IBM pc, but you'd be much better with some sort of 386.

By the time 2.0.0 was available, I had already put my 286 to rest. If you can live with 64k of code plus 64k of data for executables, a 286 with Minix makes a fine little system, in my opinion. On the other hand, c'mon guys.. you can pick up a mid-sized 386 for peanuts. Better to spend the $70.

Priority: normal Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello All. I am away from my office on a trip to California. I am dialing into a local ISP here using dialup PPP. No problem there. But, if I try to connect to my web hosting platform (www.pair.com) to do any work, under FreeBSD 2.2.5, I cannot do anything. It connects, and then does nothing. I've tried using lynx, netscape to view the main hosting site. Nada. I've tried ftp'ing into my address. Nada. I've tried telneting. I get the connected to www.pair.com and then the message that the connection was reset by peer. Even xfmail doesn't connect. Ping works fine, as does traceroute. I've tried all these with both www.pair.com and 209.68.1.11. The really weird thing is I can get anywhere else on the net that I want to! I can telnet into our alternate host (www.bitwise.com). I can ftp into cdrom.com, or whereever. Lynx and netscape anywhere. This tells me that the routes are fine, and that the resolv.conf is fine. In windoze 95, I can get into pair just fine. Same dialup config and local ISP. Now this is strange since in the office, I can connect just fine to pair.com. I don't like to be in windoze, but right now I have to to get email, and do work. Pair.com uses FreeBSD 2.1.7.1 as their OS. Any ideas? I'm stumped. Some strange firewall?

I've looked at the PAO package, but at this time it just locks the machine (reading the FAQ's etc. shows they don't yet properly support the PCMCIA chipset in the 800 :-( So I'm running plain 2.2.5-Release... My problem is that during the Kernel boot the system reckons the CPU is running at 50 MHz (when it's a P100) - this means I get loads of kernel messages like:- /kernel: calcru negative offset -231ms appearing all the time... I've tried fiddling with the kernel config (the various calibration systems etc. for the CPU / 8254 clocks) - but all to no avail... The laptop is running with no power saving, and I've also tried enabling APM support in the kernel - but no luck yet... Anyone got any hints on how to get rid of this annoying message? - perhaps a way of forcibly telling the kernel the CPU clock is 100 MHz?

Below is a summary of what has been happening: Two nights ago, I mounted my DOS hard drive and a DOS zip disk for the first time. I then attempted to use find on my system to find a file. While find was working and my BSD disk was grinding away, error messages began appearing. I didn't think much of them at the time and didn't bother to write them down, but I believe files on my BSD drive were listed, and beside them, "bad file descriptor". The next time I tried to boot, device probing went smoothly, but after "changing device to sd0a" was displayed, the following lines appeared: exec /sbin/init: error 20 exec /sbin/oinit: error 20 exec /sbin/init.bak: error 20 And my computer froze at this point. I tried disabling everything which conflicts with ep0, but it didn't help matters. (using de0 as my ethernet port). Any suggestions? Thanks for all your help - I don't know what I'd do without you guys! Take Care, Andrew Stevens.

I'm still not sure if that is very good for my hardware, and in any case, I only get 256 colors, and some applications *still* don't fit. Oh, well. I'll stick with 800x600. -Drifter --- drifter@stratos.nospam.net (remove nospam to send) "Ever notice that in every commercial about the Internet, advertising geniuses can't resist having a bunch of kids staring into a monitor, awe- struck, looking at a whale jumping out of the ocean?

If you installed it from the port the program's name is ncftp2, otherwise make sure /usr/local/bin (which is where I think ncftp installs to by default) is in your path.

Hack value. Why run Minix on a 286? Well, if you dont need a 386 then there is one answer. If all you need to do in life is to do small text editing, maybe a bit of C programming and connecting to an outside system (maybe some other Unix machine) then Minix and a 286 will suit you fine. If the machine does what you need, and works fine I say use it. I could live happily with just a 286. Why do I have a mess of other machines around? Because I simply love technology.. and when I get more learned in the ways of OS programming, I'll add features that I want or need. In the Linux world there is work to get a minimal Linux kernel working on 8088's and 286's. By getting the code to work on these smaller "dead" processors, the door is opened to bring Linux into embedded, ROM based applications and in several other areas. Hack value? Yeah. A good advance for Linux? Yeah. And as the guy who first started working on it expressed, there is something rather beautiful in getting a back-port of Linux to run on an old DEC PDP-11. I suppose not all people can realize the beauty in this stuff. But I find it great.

Ypserv is running on the master, ypbind on both (server bound to itself), yppasswdd on both. Running ypwhich on both shows both bound to the master. Running ypcat passwd.byname on both shows the passwd file. The client is mapping user names on the master to uids on the server. Changes to the group file on the master affect the client. Fingering a user on the client retrieves correct info from the server. Running yppasswd on the client changes the master.passwd file on the server. Everything seems to work except logging in. The des and kerberos libraries have been installed. /var/yp/ypupdate.log says nothing other that the maps have been updated. If I run ypserv in debug mode I see the query for a user name and a succesful answer (I think). It seems the client is not authenticating or decrypting the password properly. I installed a 2.1.7 client in a Solaris 2.5.1 domain and everything went smoothly. The only error I see on either system is when su'ing to root I get the message "su: kerberos: not in root's ACL." If anyone has any ideas about what may be wrong or what else to check I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance.

According to the man page, to nice something to a positive number you do this: nice - command. to nice to a negative number, you do this: nice -- command Here's what I get: {~} root@mortis: %nice -20 top and I find this in the output: 21551 root 51 -20 640K 856K RUN 0:00 4.80% 0.46% top ^^^^ Note that this is at -20, not +20.

If anyone has any ideas about what > may be wrong or what else to check I would appreciate your feedback. Do you have "+:::::::::" in master.passwd on the client? Are you using FreeBSD-style NIS with master.passwd.byname and master.passwd.byname maps too? If you so, you should make sure you are building them, and that the client can ypcat them, because they contain the password. Note that FreeBSD-style is the default unless you modified the nis makefile. Perhaps you modified the client to be insecure to work with your prior Solaris system, but your FreeBSD master is running in secure mode. > Thanks in advance. > > Toby > > home: toby@milkyway.org > work: tjswanson@tva.gov > > Tom From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 13 20:19:53 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA06609 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 20:19:53 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gelemna.ft-wayne.in.us (fw4-12.fwi.com [207.202.57.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA06602 for ; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 20:19:49 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from croyle@gelemna.ft-wayne.in.us) Received: (from croyle@localhost) by gelemna.ft-wayne.in.us (8.8.8/8.8.5) id VAA21600; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 21:53:56 -0500 (EST) To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: cvsup [src-all] and [doc-all] coexistance References: Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.106) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII From: Don Croyle Date: 13 Dec 1997 21:53:56 -0500 Organization: Minimal at best In-Reply-To: "David E.

The docs are, like the ports, version independent. You need to add "tag=." to that line. I'd drop the "prefix=/usr/src/share" while you're at it.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello to all. I am running a freebsd box with 128 megs of ram, 400 megs of swap space and I am running into a bit of a perl problem. This box is used as a webserver running the apache 1.3 webserver. One of my clients tries to run a perl script as part of his nightly CRON job. The error message from the cron daemon reads: file /home/www/twc-online/cgi/weblog/adverts.pl out of memory!" I went back and examined the /var/log/messages file for clues. Initially, when that out of memory error poped up, I was only running a small portion of swap space. I increased swap, and the swap_pager, out of swap space message has disappeared from my messages file. However, the script still can not complete, do to the lack of memory supposedly. Is this just simpley a case of needing yet more ram? :) Would increasing swap space help at all? I wouldn't think so, due to a lack of an out of swap space error in my files. Thanks.

On 12/11/97, you wrote: > I'm not totally sure what /dev/hdb6 under FreeBSD, > The first 4 real partitions are called wd0s1 through wd0s4 > The extended partitons are then known as: wd0s5-> wd0s30 Turns out I did need to do MAKEDEV's for the extended partitions - but, it looks like although creating wd1s5 - wd1s8 is necessary, it's not sufficient. Since the installation procedure doesn't let me select from anything other than wd1s1 - wd1s4, I ended up making my own disklabel file, which I used with the command "disklabel -Rr wd1s6 wd1s6.lbl". (wd1s6.lbl is the name of my label file.) The response was a bunch of error messages, one of which said "No label on wd1". One thing I'm unsure of is whether hdb6 would correspond to wd1s6, or wd1s5? The reason for this is that, in the Linux world, there can be either four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and *one* extended partition, which in turn can contain several logical partitions. hdb4 corresponds to the single allowed extended partition. hdb5 - hdb8 are logical partitions within that extended partition. I can only create Linux file systems on hdb5 - hdb8. hdb4 is visisble as a device but isn't "filesystem'able". Is the same thing true for FreeBSD? i.e. wd1s4 standing for the extended partition, while wd1s5 - wd1s8 correspond to the several logical partitions. Or is the extended partition itself totally invisible and I really should be mapping: wd1s3 -> hdb3 wd1s4 -> hdb5 wd1s5 -> hdb6 (etc.) The other question I have is why disklabel would care about what is on wd1? (BTW. I'm far enough along that I'm now running off a successfully installed system on wd0s3 - aka hda3.) Does this trigger any thoughts as to what else I should look into? Thanks again.

Another reason not to use csh :) Csh has a builtin 'nice' command with different arguments than /usr/bin/nice. man csh and search for 'nice'. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Dec 13 23:24:48 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA17227 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 23:24:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from out1.ibm.net (out1.ibm.net [165.87.194.252]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id XAA17221 for ; Sat, 13 Dec 1997 23:24:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mikegoe@pop03.ca.us.ibm.net) Received: from aldebaran.ird.rl.af.mil (slip166-72-108-21.ny.us.ibm.net [166.72.108.21]) by out1.ibm.net (8.8.5/8.6.9) with SMTP id HAA10216; Sun, 14 Dec 1997 07:24:41 GMT Message-Id: <199712140724.HAA10216@out1.ibm.net> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Michael G."

My sentiments also. I've got a palmpilot at work and you would be surprise how people have had to go back to caring about the bulk and processor req. of their software. A Palmpillot has one meg of ram (with no HD) and you can get a basic spreadsheet program to take up only 85k!!!
